[20:35] <Oejo> Kamoso works for me but canot use skype.
[20:35] <ActionParsnip> vitium: read the guide ubottu gave
[20:35] <prodcutnews1> yeh ... dont get me wrong ...i dont even started with any IDM in ubuntu, im not trying for poll here,  the use of word 'BEST' is a crime in the room
[20:35] <Vooloo> llutz: I see, maybe it is iptables log
[20:35] <teddybearZ> Oejo: okej
[20:35] <garrett__> Hi.  The behavior of the NetworkMonitor applet seems to have changed.  When I left click on it, I get the connection properties dialog, whereas I used to get a menu which allowed me to select which vpn i wanted to connect to.  Any ideas?
[20:35] <ActionParsnip> nacitar: why are you installing amarok on the server release? Why didnt you install the desktop if you wanted a desktop system?
[20:35] <h00k> prodcutnews1: it's not a crime, please use the information given to yo by ubottu :)
[20:35] <llutz> Vooloo: that needs special iptables logging-rules being active (they aren't default)
[20:35] <vitium> ActionParsnip: heh missed it - thanks for the info =)
[20:35] <garrett__> I can connect via the command-line, but it's a bit of a PITA
[20:36] <Jordan_U> padhu: http://www.dewinter.com/gnupg_howto/english/GPGMiniHowto-4.html
[20:36] <h00k> garrett__: please watch the language, acronyms count as well :)
[20:36] <garrett__> h00k: noted.
[20:36]  * Aeon_Dragon_ is searching for some friends who did organised a meet whit Diox
[20:36] <padhu> Jordan_U: thanks for your link
[20:37] <Jordan_U> padhu: You're welcome.
[20:37] <Pici> Aeon_Dragon_: Does this have to do with Ubuntu support?
[20:37] <nacitar> ActionParsnip: It's not a desktop system, it's forwarding X to another machine for a set number of applications.  However, if installing the "ubuntu-desktop" package would be the solution to amarok then that would mean amarok is missing a dependency somewhere along the way.  using the server release isn't "the problem".
[20:37] <Aeon_Dragon_> not realy
[20:38] <Aeon_Dragon_> i'll part sr for the troubs
[20:38] <Pici> Aeon_Dragon_: Then it would be better to ask in #ubuntu-offtopic or elsewhere.
[20:38] <ActionParsnip> nacitar: i'd log a bug then
[20:38] <zac_> Hey guys, can someone give me a command to lower the volume on rythmbox from a terminal, I need to bind it to a key
[20:38] <zac_> Or just alsamixer

[20:45] <Pici> loopidity: I don't know what else to suggest, using a backslash to escape the $ works for me when I test it here.
[20:45] <Purpley> Can someone give me a command to change the volume in alsamixer?
[20:45] <Andorin> Anyone happen to know where Parcellite stores copied text?

[20:49] <taggie> Hi everyone. Has anybody heard of problems booting lucid on an HP elitebook 2740p? When I boot to liveCD, get a usplash screen but then no GDM display. just blank screen. can't switch to text VTs or anything. does this with x86 and x64 live cds
[20:49] <exs> hi
[20:49] <Nakaori> ActionParsnip is there anyting i have to pay attention at? it seams to not load the xorg.conf i created with Xorg -configure
[20:49] <exs> i have a question. i installed apache2 with php5 and after a2enmod php5 php still not works. what is the reason?
[20:49] <ubutom> taggie, might take a while, how long have you waited?
[20:50] <BinariDragon> exs, use tasksel to install a lamp server
[20:50] <taggie> ubutom, a good 20-30 minutes
[20:50] <taggie> i'm using boot from usb, dvd does the same thing.
[20:50] <ubutom> taggie, ok, thats definitely too long
[20:51] <exs> wtf^^ BinariDragon
[20:51] <coldhandshake> hi
[20:51] <exs> i want a working apach2 with php support not a lamp server
[20:51] <BinariDragon> exs, i am telling u an easy way to intall apche and php all in one shot
[20:51] <coldhandshake> anyone experienced with Deluge?
[20:51] <ubutom> taggie, maybe some boot option wil help, like noapic and that stuff, don'T know the exact commands, but i'm sure someone in this room does :)
[20:51] <ActionParsnip> Nakaori: read some samples online, you will need to specify resolution and refresh rates
[20:52] <BinariDragon> nice way to say thank by the way
[20:52] <taggie> ubutom, tried two different machines, and all the bios options i could find.
[20:52] <ubutom> taggie, didnt mean the bios, did mean giving the live-cd some parameters on the way
[20:52] <Nakaori> ActionParsnip okay thank you
[20:53] <exs> ok php works in htdocs but not in userdir
[20:53] <Purpley> Can someone give me a command to change the volume in alsamixer?
[20:53] <BinariDragon> exs, are you trying to host a site or something? is so you should in webmin a the module call virtadmin or something like
[20:54] <taggie> ubutom, yeah, i just haven't done boot params in years, so i wouldn't know which would fix.
[20:54] <BinariDragon> but in order to configure the user dir i think you have to do that from apche
[20:54] <ubutom> taggie, but how that works with the modern cds i don't know, with the old it gave a screen before booting and they could be appended to the boot line
[20:54] <ubutom> taggie, same here :)
[20:54] <exs> BinariDragon: just localserver
[20:54] <guntbert> !webmin | BinariDragon, exs
[20:55] <taggie> ubutom, exactly :)
[20:55] <luislobo> hi, i'm quite indecisive about 64bit/32bit... currently I own a 64bit processor, but still work with 32bit ubuntu, red about the theoretical differences but still left with a big question mark... can you please advise ?
[20:55] <sechs> hello! Can I ask some questions about ubuntu?
[20:55] <BinariDragon> guntbert, i have to disagree , just have webmin install all the files for you
[20:55] <ActionParsnip> luislobo: if you have less than 3gb ram the 32bit is fine, if you do lots of encoding then 64bit will help, it will also mean you can install more than 3Gb ram without issue
[20:56] <ActionParsnip> !ask| sechs
[20:56] <BinariDragon> the old way was to have a deb package but now you can ust compile it
[20:56] <usr_> hello, I would like to know if it  is possible to have extended desktop in 3 monitors?
[20:56] <guntbert> sechs: this channel is for ubuntu support - so if they are support questions please do
[20:56] <sechs> Thank you, im new with linux, and I'm having a lot of problems...
[20:56] <LinuxAdmin> hi guys
[20:57] <luislobo> ActionParsnip, I have 8GB ram and enabled highmem support in kernel... my profile is developer/digital audio workstation...
[20:57] <darko3d> hello, kde is not working for me, i get to loading page but then the page goes black
[20:57] <guntbert> BinariDragon: be warned - webmin can break your system configuration - and please don't recommend it to others
[20:57] <LinuxAdmin> I'm wondering how kernel works on ubuntu
[20:57] <BinariDragon> usr_, yes you will need 2 dual video card with the same chip set
[20:57] <ActionParsnip> luislobo: 6whats a digital audio workstation, like audio mixing etc?
[20:57] <sechs> First, I think I have some problems with java aplications, or with flash, because often, my desktop gets freeze, and i have to make a manual reestart.
[20:57] <Purpley> Can someone give me a command to change the volume in alsamixer?
[20:57] <LinuxAdmin> I've got background in Slackware, where I had to compile everything by hand
[20:57] <darko3d> i can still here everything and when i click on the power button i get the options windows but nothing else
[20:57] <darko3d> so how do i set up kde?
[20:57] <teddybearZ> My webcam: "gSmart mini3" is supported in ubuntu, but I cant get it to work :( Can anyone help me?
[20:58] <sechs> i think this is a problem with firefox, but im not sure
[20:58] <luislobo> ActionParsnip, ardour, jack, rosegarden... high resolution timer, lots of memory
[20:58] <sechs> i have ubuntu 10.04 lts
[20:58] <LinuxAdmin> I like having ubuntu upgrade my kernel automaticaly, but I like to undestand how my system works
[20:58] <Nematocyst> Any idea why disk check took so long?  took 3 hrs from start until login screen.  running 10.04 x86 in a VM.
[20:58] <sechs> i thought this will work fine, but i cant use it for a long time
[20:58] <h00k> !kernel | LinuxAdmin
[20:59] <guntbert> !enter | sechs
[20:59] <LinuxAdmin> ubottu: I've read that already
[20:59] <darko3d> does anybody here recommend a good firewall for ubuntu
[20:59] <usr_> BinariDragon, I see. I have 2 video outputputs from my mother board and an nvidia video card. How can I know if they have the same chipset? I think they dont though
[20:59] <BinariDragon> guntbert, let the user decide is they want to do it or not, lets  limit there options here, well now how painful it is to configure a lamp server
[20:59] <sechs> ok thank you, im sorry
[20:59] <BinariDragon> lets not limit***
[21:00] <misse-> darko3d: iptables, but I guess if you want a GUI for it: firestarter
[21:00] <Purpley> Can someone give me a command to change the volume in alsamixer?
[21:00] <ActionParsnip> Purpley: http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic/7972/solved-change-volume-from-command-line/
[21:00] <guntbert> BinariDragon: just don't recommend webmin in this channel
[21:00] <LinuxAdmin> I'm trying to understand the diference between linux-headers and linux-kernel (I think this is the name)
[21:00] <luislobo> sechs, random freezes are normally related to bad ram or faulty processors
[21:00] <LinuxAdmin> linux-headers is a full kernel?
[21:00] <freud> anyone good with tomcat?
[21:01] <luislobo> LinuxAdmin, no ... just the headers (.h)
[21:01] <BinariDragon> ok
[21:01] <luislobo> LinuxAdmin, .h = specification , .cpp = implementation
[21:01] <teddybearZ> I just dont get it: "Bus 003 Device 002: ID 055f:c520 Mustek Systems, Inc. gSmart mini 3 Camera" and I still cant use it in any program :(
[21:01] <LinuxAdmin> I now I can compile linix-headers has I compile a normal kernel (make menuconfig)
[21:01] <ActionParsnip> LinuxAdmin: its just the files to allow you to make kernel modules really, linum-image-2.xxxxxxx  is the actual kernel
[21:01] <phylock> freud - depends
[21:01] <LinuxAdmin> so, I thought it would be a full kernel
[21:01] <darko3d> so what the alternative for domain controller in ubuntu server edition
[21:01] <luislobo> LinuxAdmin, no... to compile modules/kernel dependant stuff you just need the headers
[21:01] <phylock> !ask | freud
[21:02] <BinariDragon> usr_, maybe my friend google can help:)
[21:02] <sechs> i have 1gb ram, and a p4 3800 processor, i know that's not the best for it, but i thought that it would work. May i have to install an older version of ubuntu? Sorry for my bad english >__<
[21:02] <usr_> :(
[21:02] <cyborgsmurf> why do I always get these weird problems in Ubuntu...
[21:02] <LinuxAdmin> if I make any change with "make menuconfig" will my ubuntu continuing to update my kernel automaticaly?
[21:02] <freud> phylock: i installed tomcat6 from aptitude, server is running, but shutdown script not working, and no auto deploy...
[21:03] <pietr> hello, I have problem with lagging ssh server on new ubuntu 10.04. have you experienced simmiliar problems? where to look for solution?
[21:03] <luislobo> LinuxAdmin, you are really putting questions that cannot be answered in a IRC channel
[21:03] <ActionParsnip> LinuxAdmin: sure but they will not use the options you define for your custom kernel
[21:03] <luislobo> LinuxAdmin, compiling the kernel is a complex process that needs some background
[21:04] <hdon> hi all. i'm trying to install skype to lucid. in Software Sources i have enabled two sources:
[21:04] <hdon> http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu karmic partner
[21:04] <hdon> http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu karmic partner (Source Code)
[21:04] <darko3d> so what the alternative for domain controller in ubuntu server edition
[21:04] <LinuxAdmin> I've got that backgound, I compiled dozens of kernels from scratch
[21:04] <ActionParsnip> luislobo: its not that complex
[21:04] <freud> phylock: is there a auto deploy trick i'll have t do?
[21:04] <luislobo> LinuxAdmin, your best shot in ubuntu is to google for : compile kernel ubuntu way
[21:04] <hdon> but even after apt-get update (or what i assume Reload button does after i close Software Sources) i do not see Skype!
[21:04] <cyborgsmurf> Ubuntu: Lbreakout2 editor, goodies arent displayed, why?
[21:04] <luislobo> ActionParsnip, for me or someone who did it before it's really not
[21:04] <darko3d> how do i setup kde ?
[21:04] <ActionParsnip> !skype | hdon
[21:05] <woodworks> i see helpers asking all the time "did you do an upgrade or fresh install?", is an upgrade not a good option? I have dial-up and downloading an ISO is a two day affair...
[21:05] <LinuxAdmin> I'm not a newbie, I'm just trying to undestand the relationship beteew ubuntu and kernel
[21:05] <akSeya> hi there
[21:05] <ActionParsnip> luislobo: i started Linux on gentoo, learned a lot andits not hard, just takes a tiny bit of reading
[21:05] <hdon> ActionParsnip, i am reading instructions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype already! those instructions are what have lead me to this path, but the "skype" package still does not appear!
[21:05] <luislobo> ActionParsnip, been there :)
[21:05] <LinuxAdmin> with other distros I compiled everything from scratch, now I see ubuntu upgrading the kernel automaticaly
[21:06] <misse-> woodworks: my experience is that it depends on how much you've "tweaked" your install. a default install upgrades just fine mostly
[21:06] <ActionParsnip> luislobo: http://linux.dipin.info/2010/01/how-to-install-skype-on-ubuntu-1004.html
[21:06] <sechs> I read that my problem would solve not using gnome, its that true?
[21:06] <HsH> hdon, 10.04==lucid, not karmic
[21:06] <akSeya> i had a problem once, that init.gz took too long to load. I remember, you guys told me to add something on menu.lst ..  any idea what could it be?
[21:06] <luislobo> LinuxAdmin, my way of doing kernel in ubuntu is to create a kernel package bundle (headers+linux+source)
[21:06] <guntbert> hdon: what ubuntu version are you running?
[21:06] <ActionParsnip> luislobo: found that in 55 seconds
[21:06] <luislobo> ActionParsnip, skype ?
[21:06] <woodworks> misse- ah, that makes sense, was wondering why there would be upgrade if its not recommended
[21:06] <misse-> woodworks: isn't an online upgrade over dial-up just as timeconsuming? I would prefer a one-time download that can be reused
[21:06] <cyborgsmurf> Ubuntu: Lbreakout2 editor, goodies arent displayed, why?
[21:06] <ActionParsnip> hdon: sorry. see above ^
[21:06] <phylock> freud - auto deploy?? how do you restart the service?? sudo service tomcat6 stop or the script directly
[21:06] <hdon> HsH, i don't understand, where was any hint of ubuntu version mentioned except where i said "karmic?" please explain :)
[21:07] <hdon> guntbert, i just upgraded to Lucid
[21:07] <hdon> is ekiga based on gstreamer?
[21:07] <LinuxAdmin> I know how to compile a kernel in ubuntu, but I couldn't undestand yet if I can get automatic kernel upgrade if I make some changes
[21:07] <woodworks> misse- don't know about timing yet, just getting prepared, upgrading to dedicated line next week (high speed not available in my area)
[21:08] <LinuxAdmin> I try to explain what happened to me
[21:08] <taggie> Anybody try to install/run live on an HP 2740p tablet laptop? I get blank screen after usplash, no GDM/X. 386 or x64, same behavior
[21:08] <misse-> woodworks: for me; I usually save my settings for apps which I edit the config for a lot and then do a fresh install (leaving my data-partition intact of course)
[21:08] <freud> phylock: there are scripts in a /bin folder that are supposed to shutdown/startup the tomcat server...i'll just google some more
[21:08] <misse-> woodworks: that's too bad with your connection and all, where're you from?
 hi all. i'm trying to install skype to lucid. in Software Sources i have enabled two sources:
 http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu karmic partner
 http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu karmic partner (Source Code)
[21:08] <llutz> LinuxAdmin: you won't unless you name your own kernel exactly as the shipped one. and in that case, your changes were lost
[21:08] <LinuxAdmin> I had OCFS2 on top of DRBD on my cluster node
[21:08] <woodworks> misse- kentucky hills
[21:08] <guntbert> hdon: did you add the partner repo? then "reload"?
[21:08] <greenjon> HsH: beat me to it. thanks lol
[21:09] <hdon> HsH, yes, oh, you're right. hmm! i guess upgrading did not upgrade my sources.list?! HOW could it not upgrade my sources.list???
[21:09] <phylock> freud - what if you start it as a service "sudo service tomcat6 stop"
[21:09]  * hdon upgraded via the Software Update GUI
[21:09] <LinuxAdmin> last week I decided to restart my server and DRBD haven't started
[21:09] <cyborgsmurf> can anyone help me with my LBreakout2 problem?
[21:09] <LinuxAdmin> so, my cluster was down
[21:09] <misse-> woodworks: uhm, kentucky as in U.S.?
[21:09] <rww> hdon: because partner repositories are disabled by default, and the upgrade tool sees disabled repositories as comments and ignores them
[21:09] <hdon> ahhh
[21:09] <usr_> I cant refresh youtube videos nor use the bottom bar inside the video screen. How can I fix that?
[21:10] <guntbert> hdon: "other" repos normally get disabled during an upgrade and you should adapt them later
[21:10] <hdon> rww, thanks for the help
[21:10] <LinuxAdmin> I realized that was a problem with DRBD module, it couldn't load
[21:10] <hdon> and to others :)
[21:10] <freud> phylock:sure thing...
[21:10] <Purpley> How do I launch firefox from a command?\
[21:10] <mmfb> I'm very fresh into Linux use and I'm looking for a Xubuntu help server here in IRC. Does anyone know if there is one, and how I can access it?
[21:10] <luislobo> LinuxAdmin, so you want to disable automatic kernel upgrade ?
[21:10] <woodworks> misse- yep, cell phone is still 2g, copper based tele lines, sat is only hi speed option
[21:10] <hdon> ok i fixed my sources.list thank you all :)
[21:10] <sechs> sorry, shall i repeat my question? if I install an older version of ubuntu, my problem will solve? or quiting gnome?
[21:10] <hdon> i see skype package now
[21:10] <rww> mmfb: you can ask Xubuntu questions here or in #xubuntu
[21:10] <LinuxAdmin> so, I configured GRUB to use older kernel version and everything is working again
[21:10] <gothenburg> which font is default in ubuntu?
[21:10] <LinuxAdmin> I don't want to disable kernel upgrade, ofcourse not
[21:11] <misse-> woodworks: wow :/ I live in sweden. Grew up in a town of 10.000 people. got ADSL in like.. 99-00
[21:11] <LinuxAdmin> but I can't have DRBD working with the recent kernel
 sans
[21:11] <gothenburg> HsH: ok
[21:11] <freud> phylock:still  wonder why the scrpt don't work, but that's another question...one more forya, i've entered new users in the users.xml, but they don't get recognized(manager role)
[21:11] <misse-> woodworks: and now they're installing a MAN in my mothers house
[21:11] <greenjon> sechs: i'd say go ahead and repeat the question. maybe someone will see it and help you out that didn't see it before
[21:12] <cyborgsmurf> no?... okay... how can it be that I can type åäö (swedish letters) here but not in browser-search-window
[21:12] <gothenburg> åäö
[21:12] <LinuxAdmin> I think package managers would deal with this kind of dependencies, I can't undestand how I couldn't start a module just because a kernel upgrade
[21:12] <greenjon> woodworks: i'm right there with you on the being stuff with sat for internet :/
[21:12] <gothenburg> cyborgsmurf: för att svenska är lamt
[21:12] <mmfb> I'm having trouble running Wine under Xubuntu 9.10. Everytime I try to run a game it is VERY slow, even with older games. Ex. Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory
[21:12] <LinuxAdmin> wouldn't apt-get be smart enough to deal with this?
[21:13] <woodworks> misse- well, its wierd 1/2 mile away is fiber optic cable, but we are on a spur road and no plans by phone company to upgrade for at least 6 months, closest town is 12 miles away
[21:13] <cyborgsmurf> gothenburg: tack, det hjälpte verkligen... inte
[21:13] <jmreicha> what's the best way to become linux sysadmin?
[21:13] <usr_> I have problems with flash player on firefox, I cannot adjust the timing in youtube videos and any icon inside the video screen cannot be selected
[21:13] <phylock> freud - there is some problems with CATALIN something path you have to fix, but thats a loong time ago and i don't remeber exactly how.
[21:13] <misse-> mmfb: are you sure you've installed the proper graphics driver? And are you starting wolfenstein with an -opengl switch (if supported)?
[21:14] <MeanEYE> evening! :D
[21:14] <rww> LinuxAdmin: it's not apt-get's job to deal with module upgrades, it's the kernel and module packages'. If your module doesn't use dkms, it isn't going to get autorebuilt by the kernel package scripts.
[21:14] <usr_> how can I know which video cards I have on my pc?
[21:14] <misse-> woodworks: half a mile? Sounds like someone might be able to solder on a cable of his own and draw the fibre along the powerlines :P
[21:14] <LinuxAdmin> I solved my problem, I used older kernel and I'm praying that next upgrade to the kernel has got this dependencies solved
[21:15] <BluesKaj> usr_, in the terminal , lspci | grep VGA
[21:15] <freud> phylock: thanks for the help, i'll just study the docs some more :) BTW the stop service worked off course
[21:15] <usr_> BluesKaj, thanks
[21:15] <guntbert> Purpley: type firefox
[21:16] <sechs> ok, thank you. I repeat all. I have ubuntu 10.04 lts, and i have problems, it gets freezed, and i have to reestart manually, I have a p4 3800 processor, and 1 gb ram, and a nvidia graphics, gforce 5500 fx, and all worked fine with windows, but i dont want to use it anymore. I read about my problem starts with some apps, like java or flash, with firefox, I read too that gnome has some problem too. I dont know. Maybe if I install an older
[21:16] <sechs> version of ubuntu may it works, but I like the use of this operating system. Some solutions?
[21:16] <mmfb> A friend of mine set up Xubuntu for me and I'm not sure how to run Wolfenstein with an opengl
[21:17] <Purpley> Is there a way to bind buttons that arent detected by keyboard shortcuts?
[21:17] <Aquina> lol
[21:17] <gee> sechs. sind sie deutsche?
[21:17] <sechs> gee, what? i dont understand... Im spanish
[21:17] <misse-> Purpley: yeah, xev is used for detecting the keycode.. guess you can google "bind keys xev"
[21:17] <gee> ah lol, your name is german for 6
[21:18] <sechs> gee i know hehehe, its from a comic.
[21:18] <gee> sechs have you tried installing the nvidia driver?
[21:18] <sechs> yeah, I install it. but didnt work better
[21:18] <misse-> gee: the german word for 6 is pronounced almost exactly like the swedish word for 6, which is spelled "sex"
[21:18] <usr_> I added a GTX GeForce 260 videocard to my pc but the videocard on the motherboard is not being recognized. Can I use both video cards and have extended desktop for three monitors? This is what lspci showed me:  http://pastebin.com/BJ7nsfLm
[21:18] <Aquina> mmfb, Wolfenstein is a game written for Microsoft Windows. In that case you have to install a so called Compatibility Layer (not an emulator). WINE is the most popular one. Open a terminal and enter "sudo apt-get install wine". Then install Wolfenstein from CD.
[21:18] <Purpley> misse-, because btnx detected my mouse but wont lower the volume when I set a button to execute amixer set Master 10%- > /dev/null
[21:18] <emhs[work]> Anyone got a minute to help me debug my samba setup under 10.04 Ubuntu Desktop (x86)?
[21:19] <Aquina> gee, ich spreche Deutsch.
[21:19] <misse-> Purpley: does btnx still work in ubuntu? I thought not
[21:19] <Seta2501> omg my ubuntu is useless
[21:19] <misse-> Seta2501: how come?
[21:19] <ubutom> misse-, actually the englisch word is spoken just that way too
[21:19] <gee> aquina tut mir leid aber ich bin schota lol
[21:19] <woodworks> misse- i contacted them about running fibe, even volunteered to do the install, they were gonna go for it then said it would cost me $4,000 USD for materials
[21:19] <Purpley> misse-, I thought it did
[21:19] <freud> phylock: http://oreilly.com/java/archive/tomcat-tips.html seems to have the answers
[21:19] <guntbert> !ot | gee
[21:19] <emhs[work]> I've tried the guides, I've tried the obvious stuff, I really need someone familiar with it to help think of NON-OBVIOUS things to try in pursuit of making it work.
[21:19] <Seta2501> cuz i cant get it to keep a wifi connection and i cant get it to install apps
[21:19] <JusticeZero1> Boot stops before it gets to login asking... something, but I can skip mount or manual something - it's a couple lines of text overlapping. suggestions?
[21:19] <Aquina> gee was ist ein "schota"?
[21:20] <misse-> woodworks: for materials? how can half a mile of fibre cable and 2 connectors cost that much?
[21:20] <emhs[work]> Never had this trouble in 9.10 Server
[21:20] <NerfHerder> Hey anyone know of a good channel for news/talk/science/tech/etc.?
[21:20] <guntbert> Aquina: please keep to the topic
[21:20] <woodworks> misse- i think i was being blown off actually
[21:20] <Purpley> NerfHerder, Offtopic but G4TV
[21:20] <gee> aquina scottish. anyway. sechs when does your pc normally crash?
[21:20] <MeanEYE> emhs[work], priv?
[21:20] <misse-> ubutom: uhm, the english word for sex yes, the english word for 6 is pronounced six :P
[21:21] <mmfb> I've installed Wine 1.2 rc2 and I have the Wolfenstein  exe file already installed. But when running Wolfenstein it is painfully slow. Unplayable, actually. The game runs fine on my laptop which is running XP MC SP2 that has slightly lower specs.
[21:21] <Aquina> Seta2501 try to use a wired connection to connect to your LANs router. CAT 5 patchcables work flawlesly with Ethernet adapters since the're supported out of the box in most cases.
[21:21] <sechs> gee: it get crashed when i use internet for a long. Thats why I associated it With java, flash and firefox
[21:21] <ubutom> misse-, woodworks if there is fibre channel and they use the old copper lines for the last part of the road they have to install a think that's could an outdoor dslam, it's pricey and maybe that's the cause they are doing it slowly
[21:21] <Seta2501> i dont have internet. i baught this laptop so i could use free internet at hotspots
[21:21] <misse-> woodworks: yeah sounds like it.. my mom's paying about 3000$ for the install including materials and installation. She has to prepare a cable channel from the road to the house (5 meters)
[21:21] <JusticeZero1> grr.. also, laptop in question's wireless is shaky.
[21:21] <gee> sechs guessing there are java and flash objects on the screen then? not something i have heard of
[21:22] <ubutom> misse-, yeah, lol, mixed that up
[21:22] <sechs> gee: but i think too that it's when my pc gets so hot. I think that some application gets a lot of processor. or something
[21:22] <ubutom> *thing that'S called.. geez, I'm tired :D
[21:22] <gee> sechs could just be your pc cutting off when it gets too hot then?
[21:22] <JusticeZero1> *hasn't seen any reply if there was one*
[21:22] <misse-> ubutom: ^^, that's my point.. The swedish (and deutsch) word for 6 is sounds the same as the Eng word for sex.  But i never had that problem before.
[21:23] <guntbert> !ot | misse-
[21:23] <sechs> gee: i used to use windows XP and usually I use photoshop, and other heavy apps, and never gets hot.
[21:23] <misse-> guntbert: sry.
[21:23] <ubutom> misse-, maybe they use the i because of prudery? :D scnr
[21:23] <Aquina> guntbert I think you're not an operator next time I'll complain about you.
[21:23] <gee> sechs google your computer model (if its not a custom build) with the word ubuntu, see if anyone else is having similar problems
[21:23] <trexyz> how can i close a remote session
[21:24] <badnaam> hello all
[21:24] <trexyz> ?
[21:24] <misse-> trexyz: what kind of remote session?
[21:24] <Meshezabeel> There used to be memtest on previous Ubuntu live CDs before loading up the system, is this possible anymore?
[21:24] <sechs> gee: i dont want to use windows nevermore, but im having a lot of problems, and i dont have any idea to solving them
[21:24] <badnaam> my dvd burning is extremely slow, can anyone help me with this?
[21:24] <trexyz> ssh
[21:24] <datta> my top bar is missing, can anyone help me get it back?
[21:24] <sechs> gee: it a custom model
[21:24] <gothenburg> :D
[21:24] <sechs> gee: I have changed some things with the years
[21:25] <gee> sechs i know your pain haha, i wish i could get rid of window$, getting close now with ubuntu 10.04.
[21:25] <misse-> trexyz: your ssh session or someone elses?
[21:25] <gee> sechs maybe look up your motherboard model
[21:25] <trexyz> is mine
[21:25] <ultimaexodus> My webcam is clearly indentified as: "Bus 003 Device 004: ID 055f:c520 Mustek Systems, Inc. gSmart mini 3 Camera", yet I cant use it in any program. Can anyone help?
[21:25] <trexyz> but is from
[21:25] <h00k> Aquina: guntbert was correct in calling !ot
[21:25] <delac> can anyone tell if the next ubuntu (meerkat) will reintroduce settings for Indicator  Applet Session? (I'm mostly concerned about the "don't ask password" setting)
[21:25] <badnaam> can someone help me with slow dvd burning
[21:25] <trexyz> other ip address
[21:25] <ubutom> badnaam, depends on the speed the disc supports and soemtimes it's better to burn on lowest possible speed anyway, because it produces less faulty discs
[21:25] <sechs> gee: now Im doing. thanks i tell you what saint google says
[21:25] <llutz> ultimaexodus: being identified on usb-bus doesn't mean anything if theres no driver to handle it
[21:26] <badnaam> ubutom the same disc on teh same drive burn much faster on windows 7
[21:26] <gee> sechs ok, could just be an incompatibility
[21:26] <mmfb> Reposting because it probably got lost in the crowd: I've installed Wine 1.2 rc2 and I have the Wolfenstein exe file already installed. But when running Wolfenstein it is painfully slow. Unplayable, actually. The game runs fine on my laptop which is running XP MC SP2 that has slightly lower specs.
[21:26] <Aquina> mmfb, unfortunately games run slow sometimes when using WINE. The call translations consume more computing time. Have you checked the AppDB on winehq.org for Wolfenstein?
[21:26] <Kentrel> how do I redirect the output of grep to a file so that the search terms are also color encoded, with ANSI or whatever bash uses
[21:26] <badnaam> somewhat slow might be fine but this is painstakingly slow
[21:26] <ultimaexodus> llutz: what do I need to do to make it work?
[21:26] <ubutom> badnaam, maybe you got dma disabled in ubuntu
[21:26] <Seta2501> k ill try somewhere else this place is too busy
[21:26] <gee> mmfb are you talking about return to castle wolfenstein?
[21:26] <badnaam> ubutom how do I find out and enable it?
[21:26] <BluesKaj> ubutom, less faulty or fewer faulty  ?  :)
[21:26] <trexyz> misse- do you know a solution?
[21:26] <mmfb> Yeah, but the multiplayer only version; Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory
[21:26] <urlwallace> dont boot with EVGA brand usb third monitor connection plugged into usb.  It just corrupted my ubuntu 10.4..must reinstall...sigh
[21:27] <misse-> trexyz: you can do a number of things. from the session: typ "exit". from outside the session: ps auz|grep sshd to find the process associated with the session and then kill it with "kill <process number>"
[21:27] <ubutom> BluesKaj, more unfaulty :P
[21:27] <mmfb> aquina: No, I haven't. But I'll do that now.
[21:27] <trexyz> misse- thx
[21:27] <gee> mmfb there is a linux version. you wont need the .exe (thats a windows file). look up the linux one
[21:27] <ubutom> badnaam, should be adjustable with hdparm
[21:27] <rellis> you claim a monitor corrupted your entire os?
[21:27] <rellis> that sounds pretty unlikely
[21:27] <ubutom> !dma | badnaam
[21:27] <BluesKaj> less faultry implies they're all faaulty some less faulty than others \
[21:27] <urlwallace> well
[21:28] <Aquina> datta you can run "gnome-panel &" fom a shell. To spawn one right click on your desktop - the menue will help.
[21:28] <badnaam> ubutom hdparam?
[21:28] <ubutom> BluesKaj, well, who knows? :D The discs are not always the same quality
[21:28] <badnaam> oh ok I see, let me look through the docs, thanks!
[21:28] <urlwallace> I havnt had problems before ..with several diag boots non gui it freezes at usb audio
[21:28] <ubutom> yw
[21:28] <Aquina> h00k, what do you mean by "correct in calling"?
[21:29] <urlwallace> tried rebooting with an older grub alaso
[21:29] <h00k> Aquina: guntbert was correct for calling !ot, regardless if op status or not.
[21:29] <mmfb> I went to LGD and it gave me the link to that .exe file. Not sure why. I just thought that some of the game on LGD just assumed you had Wine or a similar program.
[21:29] <BluesKaj> ubutom, my wife is an english teacher , she corrects me for that mistake all the time :)
[21:29] <KenBW2> Is it possible to have my .profile folders somewhere other than ~/
[21:29] <gee> mmfb there is defanetly a linux version. i used it before
[21:29] <sechs> gee: maybe is a problem with drivers? but I dont know how to install them!!
[21:29] <ubutom> BluesKaj, hehe, well, she has to know :D
[21:29] <rellis> urlwallace.. certainly sounds totally unrelated to monitor config
[21:29] <gee> sechs yeah thats most likely your problem
[21:30] <mmfb> Ah, I found it.
[21:30] <urlwallace> thanks rellis Ill troubled shoot in that direction
[21:30] <gee> mmfb good :)
[21:30] <Meshezabeel> nm, guess I had to press ESC to access the old Ubuntu menu
[21:30] <sechs> gee: arghhhhhhh i hate that >__< i will try now
[21:30] <mmfb> gee: thank you very much.
[21:30]  * BluesKaj stops trolling for grammaticals
[21:30] <gee> mmfb no problem
[21:30] <sechs> gee: maybe at synaptic i could found them?
[21:30] <misse-> KenBW2: it's possible I guess, but what do you want to achieve?
[21:30] <test1_> Hey, sorry for asking this here, but was wondering if anyone could tell me any pros and cons over ubuntu/mint vs. pclinuxos? and of course, gnome vs kde in both cases. please message me. thank you.
[21:30] <gee> sechs i had to make a driver from scratch for a wireless card before...that was fun
[21:31] <badnaam> ubutom as per the docs I issue the command mount | egrep 'udf|iso9660' with a disc in my drive, it outputs nothing
[21:31] <Aquina> mmfb, I' sorry to hear that. Maybe Valve will release it's GNU7Linux client soon. I think Wolfenstein will be playable then. :-)
[21:31] <Seta2501> they did make a linux version of RTCW
[21:31] <test1_> trying to migrate from w7 here =)
[21:31] <coz_> test1_,  oh cool
[21:31] <KenBW2> misse-: (1) to be able to share my home folder across installs without sharing profiles, and (2) to not have to wade through a huge list in apps that show .folders
[21:31] <mmfb> Aquina: I appreciate all you help, but my problem has been solved. gee told me of a Wolfenstein linux client and I've found it.
[21:31] <Haagimus> KenBW2: download ubuntu tweak and there is a section under "Petrsonalize" that will allow you to do just tha
[21:31] <coz_> test1_,  how is it going so far?
[21:32] <axisys> !upstart
[21:32] <ubutom> badnaam, try hdparm -d /yourdrive
[21:32] <Aquina> h00k, he was not since I wanted to figure out wheter that guy was only able to speak german and whether he needed help. That was the whole intention.
[21:32] <test1_> coz_: that's what i just asked =) ubuntu/mint vs pclinuxos and kde vs gnome
[21:32] <sechs> gee: i dont understand a thing!! i will get crazy. I will search at asus web.
[21:32] <mmfb> I have another question. How do you "uninstall" programs on Linux? Ones that aren't within the "Add/Remove Applications"?
[21:32] <badnaam> ubutom I don't know what the yourdrive is
[21:32] <Haagimus> ubuntu tweak will allow you to change the default folder locations
[21:32] <ubutom> badnaam, with a sudo and where /yourdrive is the device name
[21:32] <brainproxy> I've manually installed the synergy plus deb; I force installed qsynergy, not wanting to install the stock synergyc/s binaries, but now I'm getting a persistent warning about a broken package related to qsnyergy
[21:32] <pelmen> guys, how do i install otf font in ubuntu ?
[21:32] <gee> aquina i speek english. dont you worry
[21:32] <brainproxy> how can I suprress that warning?
[21:33] <pelmen> it's weired that open system does not support open fonts better.
[21:33] <brainproxy> clarification:  I mean the warning that's showing up in the overhead menubar on my desktop
[21:33] <coz_> test1_,  well  in all honesty  I if going ubuntu I would stick with regular ubuntu   and if you want that windows 7 look   go with kde which had that look first  or if you want sensible default theme go with gnome...i prefer gnome myself  but i would not go linux mint only becasue it is ...  i believe... always on version behind
[21:33] <badnaam> ubutom how do I find out the device name?
[21:33] <ubutom> badnaam, look in drive utitily under system
[21:33] <KenBW2> Haagimus: thanks, ill give it a try
[21:33] <h00k> Aquina: It's over, the conversation was not appropriate for this channel. Please move along :)
[21:34] <uo3273-fvarklb> Hello.  I just need someone's help deciphering the meaning of a message kicked back to me when I attempt to run "apt-file search [file path]" and then debsums -a [key word]|grep [package name].  I am just verifying that encrypted ZIP files kicked in the scan results for KlamAV - are the original installation files (i.e. not altered, and therefore not a virus).
[21:34] <coz_> test1_,  rather always "one" version behind
[21:34] <Aquina> mmfb, is that version free? Can you post a link then for mee too? :-)
[21:34] <ubutom> badnaam, there your partitins are listed and also your drive, with iot's device name, mine is /dev/sr0
[21:34] <mmfb> Aquina: http://www.filefront.com/thankyou.php?f=852003&k=8cfa68611a15eb88047633f183bab26ea72c2ac876be407616174e226e9b1592
[21:34] <badnaam> ubutom sorry bit of a noob here, where can I get this partition list?
[21:35] <mmfb> It's free! :)
[21:35] <test1_> coz_: i've only tested live cd-s with gnome so far and i did quite like it, was just wondering if there were any major pro's and con's. additionally, i'm a bit tired of the "windows look" =) how about pclos vs ubuntu then? i've tested both and liked pclos the best (by testing i mean check the live-cd for 20 minutes)
[21:35] <ubutom> badnaam, sudo hdparm -d /dev/sr0 would enable or disable dma mode on my drive for example
[21:35] <_marco_> hello!
[21:35] <Haagimus> KenBW2: NP hope its what you were triying to do
[21:35] <Orochi> heeeey...guuuuuys
[21:35] <test1_> coz_: of course, #ubuntu's ten zillion irc users beats pclos' 19, but aside from that =)
[21:35] <gee> test1_ ubuntu is, in my opinion the most advanced and most widely supported.
[21:35] <Aquina> h00k, I don't understand what you mean, but it was nice to have a conversation with you. :-)
[21:36] <Orochium> can anyone help me with installation problem?
[21:36] <ubutom> badnaam, I#m not using englisch in my menus, can only guess whats it called in your system it's the second dropdown menu in system on top of screen
[21:36] <uo3273-fvarklb> So when I run "apt-file search /usr/xulrunner-<IP_ADDRESS>/libxul.so, and then debsums on the resulting package name - I get this message "debsums: package xulrunner is not installed".  Is this anything to be concerned about?
[21:36] <_marco_> I love Ubuntu
[21:36] <_marco_> I have Ubuntu
[21:36] <Haagimus> i second that _marco_
[21:36] <Aquina> :-)
[21:36] <gee> same lol
[21:36] <BluesKaj> Orochium, ask away
[21:36] <_marco_> I use Ubuntu

[21:36] <Orochium> I basically just (literally) downloaded Ubuntu 10.04, when I try to get it to boot from CD, the screen turns blue, and there's some icon at the bottom of the page, thats like some icon = a little guy in a circle, but it just hangs there, blue screen, and that icon
[21:37] <axisys> how do I start a process as a user with upstart ? do I just do this? su user exec /bin/foo ?
[21:37] <Orochium> never does anything after
[21:37] <Haagimus> KenBW2: yes
[21:37] <h00k> _marco_: do you have any specific questions for us?
[21:37] <Orochium> this is on a Dell e310

[21:37] <KenBW2> Haagimus: i'm after moving all the .profile folders away from my normal files
[21:38] <ilkkaile69> where i can get driwers for the web cam
[21:38] <gee> or use the sudo command
[21:38] <BluesKaj> Orochium, from where did you download ?
[21:38] <Orochium> I remember trying to get 8.04, 8.10 etc working...
[21:38] <Orochium> Blue: from ubuntu.com?
[21:38] <Haagimus> KenBW2: hmmm
[21:38] <GreenGuy> orochium: Mint, huh?  How is it for driver support?
[21:38] <h00k> !mint

[21:40] <Orochium> yes
[21:40] <digital-diesel> do you mean me orochium?
[21:40] <gee> sechs yeah not the best make
[21:40] <Orochium> checksums were fine
[21:40] <uo3273-fvarklb> K - guntbert doesn't know.  Anyone else wanna take a stab at my issue?
[21:40] <Haagimus> KenBW2: ahhh ok i see what your asking. I'm afraid I do not know the answer to that question, sorry
[21:41] <Orochium> man I only seem to have problems with ubuntu, maybe I just stick with Mint Isadora then, this is like the fourth different Ubuntu distro I've tried thats never worked
[21:41] <KenBW2> Haagimus: ah well, thanks anyway
[21:41] <ubutom> badnaam, I think it should have been unmounted first :(
[21:41] <Orochium> 8.04, 8.10, now 10.04
[21:41] <Haagimus> KenBW2: could be possibly a setting in the gnome-config
[21:41] <Aquina> Orochium, awry colored screen can result from hardware problems like display adapters, touch screens and other hardware. I recommend you to perfomr a text driven isntall without booting into Live-CD mode.
[21:41] <sechs> anyone here know how i install motherboard drivers, with .awd and .rom extensions?
[21:41] <Orochium> either it was always missing some basic generic driver or something else, blah
[21:41] <badnaam> ubutom oh, how do I do that?
[21:41] <Orochium> I'm not even making it into live cd mode
[21:41] <Orochium> aquina, so I'm not even sure what you're talking about
[21:41] <Haagimus> KenBW2: i would suspect that you would have to change system settings to do it since most everything you install defaults to your home folder for the setting files
[21:41] <guntbert> Orochium: this is no place for ranting - we can try to help you though
[21:41] <Orochium> therefore I will assume you are spouting random TS lines <3
[21:41] <alecs> hi! what does means ?  E: Read error - read (5: Input/output error)
[21:41] <ubutom> badnaam, I just opened it
[21:42] <alecs> E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
[21:42] <gee> orochium have you tried the alternate cd?
[21:42] <alecs> E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[21:42] <Orochium> nah, pass, I'm already turned off.
[21:42] <Orochium> later.
[21:42] <uo3273-fvarklb> Has anyone used "apt-file search" and "debsums" in terminal to verify footprints of system files match those of the original installation files?
[21:42] <Aquina> Orochium, try the alternate CD and install with a less graphical isntaller. Alternatively file a bug report on launchpad.net or check whether your hardware is supported on ubuntuhcl.org.
[21:42] <badnaam> ubutom opened it? what?
[21:43] <ubutom> badnaam, I opened the drive
[21:43] <ubutom> badnaam, meaning ejected the lid and closed it again
[21:43] <badnaam> ubutom ok, I see, and then run that command?
[21:43] <BluesKaj> mmfb, if the file is in your home/user then in the terminal just do  ./nameofile.run
[21:43] <ubutom> badnaam, have you found the name of your drive?
[21:43] <NfNitLoop> I'm trying to get compiz working with KDE in 10.04 and I'm seeing this error:  http://pastebin.com/iZrn1hfu
[21:43] <digital-diesel> Aquina: i am having that problem with the colors too on my sdcreen...
[21:43] <ubutom> badnaam, wait a sec
[21:43] <NfNitLoop> any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. :)
[21:44] <ubutom> badnaam, what's your device called?
[21:44] <badnaam> I think /dev/sr0
[21:44] <mmfb> gee: when entering  sudo runfile.run I am asked for my sudo password. After entering my password I get command not found. Using  sudo sh ./runfile.run  I get  can't open ./runfile.run
[21:44] <sechs> hey, anyone shall know about it? how to install drivers for a asus motherboard, with .awd and .rom extensions???
[21:44] <guntbert> alket: why would you want to do that?
[21:44] <badnaam> ubutom don't quote me though
[21:44] <digital-diesel> i guess i will just follow everything said for orochium
[21:44] <digital-diesel> lol i guess its my lucky day in a way
[21:44] <gee> mmfb tried sudo ./runfile.run
[21:44] <digital-diesel> someone else with the samne issue
[21:44] <ubutom> badnaam, try sudo hdparm -i, it will give you a list
[21:44] <badnaam> ubutom also I id the following command accoriding to the docs and saw a bunch of output dmesg | grep ata | more
[21:44] <alket> guntbert, because of my graphic card Readon x700
[21:44] <Aquina> guntbert and h00k, why are you not opped or half-opped?
[21:44] <Appl6> mmfb: What is the output of "ls -l runfile.run"?
[21:44] <mmfb> Yeah. I get command not found
[21:45] <ubutom> badnaam, in that list you will see the active mode the drive is using, in my case the star is at udma5
[21:45] <mmfb> appl6: space after -l?
[21:45] <Appl6> mmfb: Yes.
[21:45] <ubutom> badnaam, which is good, something like pio would be very, very slow ;)
[21:45] <h00k> Aquina: Freenode discourages people from remaining opped in a channel, there is no need for it :)
[21:46] <guntbert> alket: old radeon cards seem to well supported by the open source driver
[21:46] <badnaam> ubutom you mean in the output of dmesg | grep ata | more
[21:46] <badnaam> ?
[21:46] <mmfb> appl6: ls: cannot access et-linux-2.55.x.86.run: No such file or directory
[21:46] <alket> guntbert, no they don't I cant play Glest or Yo Frankie
[21:46] <ubutom> badnaam, no, try a sudo hdparm -i /dev/sr0
[21:46] <arooni-mobile___> hey folks;  ubuntu requires me to give a password when i login.  to unlock keyring.  what can i do to make this not happen?  as soon as i enter it correctly it starts connecting to wireless network
[21:46] <Aquina> h00k, really!? ;-) Guess it' different fom my QuakeNet helper time then...
[21:46] <mmfb> The file is save to my "Download" folder.
[21:46] <Appl6> mmfb: So you're not actually trying to run "runfile.run", you're trying to run "et-linux-2.55.x.86.run"?
[21:47] <ubutom> it will show the current mode the drive is working at and then we will know if it's wrong or not badnaam
[21:47] <mmfb> appl6: I should type in runfile and not actually the name of the file?
[21:47] <badnaam> ubutom, the star is on udma5
[21:47] <gee> mmfb no
[21:47] <ubutom> badnaam, then it's good
[21:47] <Appl6> mmfb: No, you should type the actual name of the file.  Of course, it also helps if you tell _us_ the name of the file, so we know what the error messages mean.
[21:47] <ubutom> badnaam, what speed do your discs support?
[21:47] <gee> mmfb that was just me calling it that for example purposes
[21:47] <GreenGuy> how do i upgrade from 9.04 jaunty to 10.04?
[21:47] <BluesKaj> mmfb, where is the file located?
[21:48] <ubutom> badnaam, most only support 8x speed
[21:48] <GreenGuy> do I have to go to 9.19 KK first?
[21:48] <guntbert> alket: hmm ... I don't expect lucid to work ok with an ancient kernel to be honest, but I do not *know*
[21:48] <h00k> GreenGuy: you'll have to upgrade through 9.10 first
[21:48] <h00k> !upgrade | GreenGuy
[21:48] <gee> mmfb are you in the Downloads folder in terminal?
[21:48] <sechs> wow, please, im asking for some help!! how do I install drivers for an asus motherboard, with the .ROM and .AWD extensions???
[21:48] <bazhang> GreenGuy, you need to take the intermediate step first
[21:48] <arleslie> I have a netgear USB wireless adapter and it's unable to connect to any encrypted wireless access points any ideas why?
[21:48] <badnaam> ubutom 1-16x
[21:48] <mmfb> gee: I'm not sure how to get there.
[21:48] <GreenGuy> bazhang: thx
[21:48] <alket> guntbert, is Hardy Heron still supported with updates ?
[21:48] <gee> mmfb cd  then cd /Downloads
[21:48] <mmfb> gee: Like I said I'm super fresh into Linux. I know close to nothing right now. :(
[21:48] <BluesKaj> alket, no
[21:48] <Appl6> mmfb: "sudo updatedb ; locate et-linux-2.55.x.86.run"
[21:49] <ubutom> badnaam, well, then you should be able to burn at 16x, what did the burning program say, did it output the speed at which it was burning?
[21:49] <gee> mmfb dont worry i was there a few years ago haha
[21:49] <badnaam> ubutom yes 2x
[21:49] <armor-64> hi!is there any program that can text me from a wav file?please respond to me quick!at least say no if you don't know
[21:49] <badnaam> ubutom it said 8 hours + for burning less thn 1gb of data
[21:50] <sechs> gee: maybe no one reads me? Im not sure if im using irc well
[21:50] <alket> BluesKaj, aren't LTS for three years of support ?
[21:50] <guntbert> alket: yes, till April 2011
[21:50] <ubutom> badnaam, yeah, that's too slow, tried another program?
[21:50] <mmfb> /home/mmfb/Downloads/et-linux-2.55.x86.run is the result
[21:50] <h00k> !patience | sechs
[21:50] <gee> sechs your using it fine mate
[21:50] <badnaam> ubutom brasero is what I have, anything else you recommend?
[21:50] <cedda> how do you put a program in startup
[21:50] <mmfb> gee: when I type in cd then cd /downloads, it says bash: cd: /downloads: No such file or directory
[21:50] <Appl6> cedda: System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications
[21:50] <gee> mmfb linux is case sensative
[21:50] <ubutom> badnaam, I think there'S also x-cdroast and others
[21:51] <gee> mmfb make sure its Downloads
[21:51] <mmfb> gee: haha, well damn.
[21:51] <Appl6> mmfb: And it should be "~/Downloads", not "/Downloads".
[21:51] <badnaam> ubutom ok, let me try that then
[21:51] <guntbert> cedda: system/preferences/startup applications
[21:51] <armor-64> cedda , right click on main manu bar and then edit menu
[21:51] <ubutom> badnaam, best place to look is in software center
[21:51] <gee> mmfb or just cd Downloads
[21:51] <badnaam> ubutom ok, thanks for your help!
[21:51] <arleslie> I have a netgear USB wireless adapter and it's unable to connect to any encrypted wireless access points any ideas why?
[21:51] <mmfb> appl6: That worked.
[21:51] <h00k> mmfb: 'cd Downloads/' If you put a first shash (/Downloads) it will look to the root of the drive. If you don't, it will assume you want to go there from your current working directory (probably /home/username/Downloads)
[21:52] <ubutom> badnaam, your welcome
[21:52] <lapion> does anyone know how to mount a partition with the linux-kernel ntfs driver ( non-fuse version) ?
[21:52] <sechs> hook, ubottu, gee, thank you, i've searched, but i havent find. I will try again. I was having my problem for long time, and every time i turn on my pc i only search for solutions. Im sure i dont know how to use ubuntu and linux, but i want to learn
[21:52] <guntbert> armor-64: one of us misread the question of cedda
[21:52] <mmfb> Now that I'm in Downloads, should I try the sudo command now?
[21:52] <BluesKaj> oops sorry alket , I'm wrong...it appears to be supported
[21:52] <mmfb> cd
[21:52] <cedda> guntbert, you won
[21:52] <mmfb> Oops
[21:52] <cedda> :P
[21:52] <guntbert> cedda: :)
[21:52] <sechs> also i asked at spanish ubuntu forums, and no one said anything, so, thats wy im here :D
[21:53] <h00k> sechs: if you're new to ubuntu, you can check out #ubuntu-beginners channel (/join #ubuntu-beginners), also the !manual
[21:53] <armor-64> gunbert , yeah i know!it's me sorry
[21:53] <h00k> !manual | sechs
[21:53] <Vooloo> anyone know if there is a plugin for gedit that will create an automatic closing bracket } when I type { ?
[21:53] <gee> mmfb yeah the sudo ./runfile.run or sh ./runfile.run command should work
[21:53] <ultimaexodus> Anyone here good at webcams?
[21:53] <myrk> yohoho and a bottle or rum
[21:53] <Haagimus> i love run
[21:53] <Haagimus> rum
[21:53] <BluesKaj> alket i always thoughtbwhen a new LTS was released the the previous one was taken off LTS
[21:53] <gee> sechs tell me if you find the answer
[21:53] <pipegeek> clearly
[21:54] <mmfb> sh command seems to have worked
[21:54] <gottto> sechs: afaik those are drivers for windows so you don't install them in linux
[21:54] <sechs> thank you everyone.  Is it ubuntu-related problem or bug in vim or maybe something else?
[21:54] <snow_veil> IE, hdd is /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, etc....where would I mount my cdrom or dvdrom to?
[21:54] <myrk> can wine use webcams?
[21:55] <arleslie> I'm unable to connect to a secured wireless network using a Netgear USB adapter, any ideas how to fix this?
[21:55] <Haagimus> snow_veil: /dev/sr# usually
[21:55] <sechs> gottto: at asus webpage there was a bios driver for linux, but it had the extensions that i told, so i dont know how to install
[21:55] <gee> mmfb i used sudo sh ./et-linux-2.55.x86.run and it started the install
[21:55] <pat5star> lapion: mount -t ntfs-3g    you try that?
[21:55] <gee> mmfb while i was in the Downloads folder ofcource
[21:55] <ultimaexodus> Hmm...it looks like my webcam is not supported... :(
[21:55] <h00k> sechs: is there a reason you're trying to specifically install the 'drivers' for Linux, is something not working?
[21:55] <gottto> sechs: I think that would be a windows thing - there would have been instuctions or a readme file
[21:56] <lapion> pat5star, the partion mounts ok sing the fuse driver but the fuse driver is slowww and processor intensive.. while the kernel-native driver is a lot faster
[21:56] <ljsoftnet> how do i play DVD from mplayer with External Optical Drive?
[21:56] <mmfb> gee: After placing in the command, I get a prompt to enter my password. When I do I get this...
[21:56] <lapion> *partition
[21:56] <BluesKaj> alket , well it's very stable and still work well , even after 2 yrs
[21:56] <mmfb> gee: su: Authentication failure
[21:56] <mmfb> /home/mmfb/.setup4755: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[21:56] <mmfb> The setup program seems to have failed on x86/glibc-2.1
[21:56] <sechs> hook i had a problem with freezing. sometimes my pc gets freezed and i have to reestart manualy
[21:56] <lapion> *using
[21:56] <Appl6> roolebo: Press MHMHMH.  The cursor moves for me.  What version of vim, and in the terminal or gvim?
[21:56] <pat5star> lapion: oh I see what you're talking about. that I don't know...sorry, and gl!
[21:56] <gee> mmfb enter your password that you use to log in
[21:57] <mmfb> gee: that's the one I entered.
[21:57] <sechs> gottto: no readme file and no instructions that i can find. maybe i dont recognize them, but im sure i searched for days
[21:57] <lapion> pat5star, thanks for trying.
[21:57] <gee> mmfb ok thats odd
[21:57] <h00k> sechs: check to see if your memory is okay, run a memtest from the Ubuntu CD
[21:57] <gottto> sechs: none on the site you got the bios from?
[21:57] <sebsebseb> Hi
[21:57] <mmfb> Should I just try to hit enter to bypass?
[21:57] <ultimaexodus> I just dont get this...when I installed Ubuntu...it installed all the drivers automatically...I didnt have to do a thing... Now...just trying to make a simple webcam and usb gamepad to work seems like a nightmare... :(
[21:57] <roolebo> Appl6: vim 7.2.330-1ubuntu3.
[21:58] <lapion> I loaded the ntfs-kernel module however: if I do : sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdi1 /mnt  the system uses the fuse driver anyone know how to turn this functionality off ?
[21:58] <arleslie> I'm unable to connect to a secured wireless network using a Netgear USB adapter, any ideas how to fix this?
[21:58] <sechs> hook memtest ok. I put the cd and search for it? or i have to restart?
[21:58] <myrk> thats a bummer
[21:58] <gottto> sechs: and I think the issue is the mem like h00k said
[21:58] <sebsebseb> mmfb: What you doing, just joined
[21:58] <guntbert> mmfb: you don't get any feedback when typing that password -- type it and press <enter>
[21:58] <h00k> sechs: you'll have to boot from the CD
[21:58] <sebsebseb> ultimaexodus: uh right yeah,  a lot of hardware just works, but not everything, since lack of manufacture support, and such
[21:58] <nikitis> Has anyone tried using the new MadCatz R.A.T. 9 Gaming mouse on Ubuntu?  I'm looking to buy but do not know it's compatibility.
[21:59] <sechs> gottto, ok I will try. I have to insert some command?
[21:59] <ljsoftnet> how do i play DVD from mplayer with External Optical Drive?
[21:59] <ultimaexodus> sebsebseb: Im so close to giving up and going back to windows :(
[21:59] <c3l> why is hexadecimal used, why not octal? octal is easier for humans to work with, and one octal is one byte - easy to refer to. 16 is 2 bytes, and much harder to work with for humans (as there are many 'numbers' to hold in mind) and the whole purpose of hexadecimal is to make binare easier to work with for humans, ocal is better?!
[21:59] <gottto> sechs: it is an option in the boot menu - memtest
[21:59] <whodat> I got a pair of usb to cat5 extenders, but my webcam isnt seen on them, do I need a module built or called?
[21:59] <mmfb> After entering my password I still get that error.
[21:59] <sebsebseb> ultimaexodus: got Windows on dual boot?
[21:59] <mmfb> It says I can just hit enter to continue as is... Should I try that?
[21:59] <TheMozart> is the new ubuntu out yet?
[21:59] <h00k> !ot | c3l
[21:59] <ultimaexodus> sebsebseb: yes
[22:00] <sebsebseb> !10.04 | TheMozart
[22:00] <alecs> can anyone help me with this ? apt-get upgrade
[22:00] <alecs> Reading package lists... Error!
[22:00] <alecs> E: Read error - read (5: Input/output error)
[22:00] <h00k> TheMozart: New being Lucid, yes.
[22:00] <alecs> E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
[22:00] <FloodBot4> alecs: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:00] <TheMozart> ok
[22:00] <CaptainTrek> akecs: you tried using sudo?
[22:00] <CaptainTrek> alecs: you tried using sudo?
[22:00] <sebsebseb> ultimaexodus: ok so you can use Windows for that,  or you could try a virtual machine of Windows even
[22:00] <alecs> CaptainTrek: yes
[22:00] <alecs> i am running as root
[22:00] <ultimaexodus> sebsebseb: yes...but...not the optimal solution :(
[22:00] <h00k> alecs: you don't want to be running as root
[22:01] <mmfb> gee: Password and hitting enter the try and bypass do not work. I still get the failed message
[22:01] <alecs> h00k: i know ... now is a special case
[22:01] <niku> alecs: try 'apt get update' then 'apt get upgrade'
[22:01] <gee> mmfb ok thats really strange mate. i'm not sure whats going on
[22:01] <sebsebseb> ultimaexodus: or you could try some other distro even, but they may also get issues with web cams and gamepads
[22:01] <Ztyx> Anyone here who's syncing their iPod/iPhone with Rhythmbox? Have you tried syncing with iTunes afterwards? What happens?
[22:01] <mmfb> Let me try and redownload the file.
[22:01] <ultimaexodus> sebsebseb: what about Wine?
[22:01] <digital-diesel> hi guys...  i was wondering if anyone knew the cause of this problem:  i did a fresh install of lucid and everything was working great and all of a sudden the screen got really weird and it went black with these weird colors and lines. all i could do was turn it off from the power button. ..
[22:01] <rallias> I'm having difficulty identifying an issue i am having. Can someone point me to the sources.list file?
[22:02] <roolebo> Appl6: it seems to be my config problem. the things gone right without .vimrc.  thanks
[22:02] <sebsebseb> ultimaexodus: Wine is not for drivers
[22:02] <gee> mmfb i have another problem going on (i downloaded the game too). It wont run on my pc because it's on the wrong architecture :S designed for 32 bit and i'm using 64
[22:02] <banker247> is there some kinda thing i can do to make evolution mail client launch at startup then my alltray application minimize it to the taskbar?
[22:02] <ultimaexodus> sebsebseb: oh...okej
[22:02] <sebsebseb> !wine | ultimaexodus
[22:02] <alecs> niku: i get the same thing
[22:02] <ljsoftnet> how do i play DVD from mplayer with External Optical Drive?
[22:02] <mmfb> gee: Looks like it wasn't meant to be for us, huh?
[22:03] <gee> mmfb haha yeah
[22:03] <AlbSpirit> i need to install the last ulteo but i have some probleme with libxfcegui4-1.0 can you help me please?
[22:03] <sebsebseb> ultimaexodus: sadly for webcams and gamepads, its not like wireless, where most of the time a Windows driver can actsaully be used with a progarm
[22:03] <rallias> wheres the sources.list file?
[22:03] <Appl6> mmfb: Can you link to the site where you downloaded it, please?
[22:03] <Haagimus> Has anyone successfully gotten an Iphone 3GS (16GB) to link up with amarok 2.3.0? I can get it to give me the initialize window but the specific model is not in there and it will not initialize with either of the other two iPhone options. (Ubuntu 9.10)
[22:03] <mmfb> appl6: Yeah, one sec.
[22:03] <sebsebseb> ultimaexodus: most hardware support by the way is built in to the Linux kernel,  but not all manufactures support Linux propery or at all,  so a lot of hardware support has been reverse enginered, which is a rather complex programming task
[22:03] <niku> alecs: is there anyother program that could be locking up the package databases? eg: synaptic
[22:03] <sebsebseb> ultimaexodus: may be able to configure your hardware, but it won't be that easy
[22:04] <ultimaexodus> sebsebseb: okej
[22:04] <AlbSpirit> can some one help me please
[22:04] <rallias> Haagimus: That was mentioned recently in a security alert. If you hook it up to ubuntu, appearantly you can access all the files without the pin number.
[22:04] <niku> alecs: alternately, have you made any recent changes to the sources.list file?
[22:04] <sebsebseb> ultimaexodus: how much RAM you got?
[22:04] <alecs> niku: no
[22:04] <guntbert> alecs: what did you do before those errors started?
[22:04] <ubutom> rallias, /etc/apt/sources-list
[22:04] <sebsebseb> ultimaexodus: whats the gamepad for whatk ind of games?
[22:04] <ljsoftnet> how do i play DVD from mplayer with External Optical Drive?
[22:04] <sebsebseb> ultimaexodus: also which program did you try the web cam with?
[22:04] <ultimaexodus> sebsebseb: I understand that...and the thing is....my webcam is supported in the...that french guy driver...
[22:04] <sebsebseb> ultimaexodus: cheese is for configuring web cams by the way
[22:04] <ultimaexodus> sebsebseb: I tried it there...and..
[22:05] <ubutom> rallias, /etc/apt/sources.list
[22:05] <alecs> this is my output http://pastebin.com/i0kp1bCY
[22:05] <ultimaexodus> sebsebseb: one sek

[22:05] <arleslie> I'm unable to connect to WEP wireless networks with a Netgear usb adapter, any ideas how to fix this?
[22:05] <Ztyx> ljsoftnet: I think it's something like "mplayer dvd://"
[22:05] <mmfb> appl6: http://www.filefront.com/thankyou.php?f=852003&k=8cfa68611a15eb88047633f183bab26ea72c2ac876be407616174e226e9b1592
[22:05] <ultimaexodus> sebsebseb: it just starts...and nothing happens
[22:05] <digital-diesel> banker247:  system>preferences>startup programs or somthing ilke that, and add evoution...  i think
[22:06] <Ztyx> ljsoftnet: Check out the mplayer man page and you'll see exactly how to do it, "man mplayer".
[22:06] <sebsebseb> ultimaexodus: you need to provide specific details, or people can't help you properly
[22:06] <nikitis> So nobody has an MadCatz R.A.T. 9 gaming mouse and can tell me if it's compatible with Ubuntu?
[22:06] <sebsebseb> ultimaexodus: what just starts, and with what nothing happens?
[22:06] <ubutom> nikitis, never had a gaming mouse in my whole life :)
[22:06] <ljsoftnet> Ztyx: do u know, the drive location of an external optical drive, i've tried dvd:// with no luck
[22:07] <gee> mmfb any closer?
[22:07] <nikitis> ubutom: Sad...  Go get one!
[22:07] <mmfb> gee: I wish
[22:07] <Ztyx> ljsoftnet: Nope, sorry. :-/ I got to go, but good luck!
[22:07] <ubutom> nikitis, nah, office mouse served me good :)
[22:07] <rcscomp> I have a wireless netgear card that isn't working
[22:07] <rcscomp> iwconfig and ifconfig both show it there, but networking icon says "network disabled"
[22:08] <chisel_> i get an Invalid PBLK length message when ubuntu boots up. this is a fresh install, and it never did it before....pls advise
[22:08] <mmfb> gee: keeps telling me libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.
[22:08] <ljsoftnet> how do i play DVD from mplayer with External Optical Drive?
[22:08] <gee> mmfb thats where i am too
[22:08] <ultimaexodus> sebsebseb: in this list: "http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html" "Mustek	67	0x055f	0xc520	Gsmart mini3	 	spca504a	 	Yes	Jpeg	spca5xx/LE	***"
[22:08] <chisel_> that is to say, it never gave me that message in other ubuntu installs
[22:08] <ultimaexodus> sebsebseb: its supported...so...
[22:08] <gee> mmfb trying to figure it out just now, what ubuntu you running?
[22:08] <mmfb> Xubuntu 9.10
[22:08] <alecs> guntbert: i reallly don't remember .... but i know that some of my gnome applets have crashed... then i have rebooted, then i had some problems on  GDM ... after that .... i get this after several reboots
[22:08] <sebsebseb> ultimaexodus: is that page in English?
[22:09] <ultimaexodus> sebsebseb: yes
[22:09] <sebsebseb> rcscomp: ok wireless
[22:09] <offy> On my laptop I have ubuntu 10.04. When it is loading something the touchpad doesn't work
[22:09] <sebsebseb> !wireless | rcscomp
[22:09] <ljsoftnet> how do i play DVD from mplayer with usb External Optical Drive?
[22:09] <sebsebseb> rcscomp: so yeah try and get it working natively :)  if no luck, you can try Ndiswrapper and probably use a Windows driver for it
[22:09] <rcscomp> sebsebseb: thing is, its worked before
[22:09] <nmvictor> i deleted some .files under ~/.* and so my system cant recognize any available wireless networks like it used to, please help...
[22:10] <sebsebseb> ljsoftnet: commercial DVD?
[22:10] <mmfb> gee: Xubuntu 9.10
[22:10] <rcscomp> but this time, the lights don't go back and forth, the one light just stays on
[22:10] <sebsebseb> rcscomp: when did it stop working then?
[22:10] <ljsoftnet> sebsebseb: yes and original
[22:10] <guntbert> alecs: I don't remember where apt stores its staus files - I try to find them right now
[22:10] <sebsebseb> ljsoftnet: ok you will need to install DVD support, since legal reasons Ubuntu does not have that pre installed
[22:10] <rcscomp> sebsebseb: just now, turned on the laptop and plugged in the card and no go.  iwconfig still shows the card, although its not in ifconfig any more
[22:10] <ubutom> nikitis, doesn't look bad. Well, you could buy it, try it and if it doesn't work return it
[22:11] <gee> mmfb ok, i'll let you know if i get it running
[22:11] <sebsebseb> ljsoftnet: libdvdcss2/3  found in the medibuntu repo
[22:11] <sebsebseb> !medibuntu | ljsoftnet
[22:11] <gothenburg> :p
[22:11] <malac0da> Can anyone help me with getting sound to work on my laptop. It was working fine up until like yesterday
[22:11] <nikitis> ubutom: I'm sure it works on a basic level.  How does Ubuntu determine the DPI of a mouse?
[22:11] <alecs> guntbert: thanks
[22:11] <ljsoftnet> sebsebseb: i just need the drive location of the usb External Optical drive
[22:11] <sebsebseb> ljsoftnet: uhmm  /media  /mnt ???   /etc/fstbab ?
[22:11] <h00k> ljsoftnet: probably /media/something
[22:11] <offy> On my laptop I have ubuntu 10.04. When it is loading something the touchpad doesn't work
[22:12] <nikitis> ubutom: is there a /etc/ file for mice which tells ubuntu to use a certain DPI?
[22:12] <malac0da> I think it stopped working right after an update.
[22:12] <sebsebseb> ljsoftnet: thats /etc/fstab
[22:12] <ubutom> nikitis, I'm not sure about that, never had one that was able to switch, but maybe the mouse itself does that
[22:12] <MrAlexandro> could anyone not be an asshole and please redirect me to a channel where i could get help with proxy redirecting and vmware
[22:12] <Appl6> mmfb: Did you get my last message?
[22:12] <arleslie> I'm unable to connect to WEP wireless networks with a Netgear usb adapter, any ideas how to fix this?
[22:12] <mmfb> appl6: No I haven't.
[22:12] <ubutom> !language MrAlexandro
[22:12] <Appl6> mmfb: My Internet connection is dying (thanks Comcast), so I can't search.  All I can say is that you need to download a libgtk-1.2 package from an older version of Ubuntu (which you can find by searching for it at packages.ubuntu.com).  Maybe someone else can pick up from here.  Ubuntu uses libgtk-2.0 now, which is why you don't have the older version.
[22:12] <sebsebseb> ultimaexodus: uhmm I don't know
[22:13] <emhs[work]> An fstab entry for a USB external drive is processed at boot, right?
[22:13] <MrAlexandro> ubutom: sorry :/
[22:13] <nikitis> Appl6: Get a new ISP.  Speak with your money
[22:13] <whodat> I got a pair of usb to cat5 extenders, but my webcam isnt seen on them, do I need a module built or called? not in lsusb or dmesg
[22:13] <sebsebseb> ultimaexodus: ask again in a bit with all the detaills, maybe even try ##linux and be sure to tell them your on Ubuntu
[22:13] <ljsoftnet> sebsebseb: /etc/fstab is not a drive location
[22:13] <emhs[work]> By the way, folks, MeanEYE rocks.
[22:13] <sebsebseb> ljsoftnet: indeed, but
[22:13] <emhs[work]> Just thought y'all should know that.
[22:13] <sebsebseb> !fstab | ljsoftnet
[22:13] <mmfb> Appl6: Haha, that might be the issue. I'll look for it now and update you guys soon.
[22:13] <gee> mmfb appl6 that is the exact thing i am looking for just now haha
[22:14] <ultimaexodus> sebsebseb: thanks maan...Il do that :) and...Il hang in there
[22:14] <MeanEYE> haha :$ *shy*
[22:14] <ljsoftnet> sebsebseb: im not looking for drive partitions
[22:14] <alecs> guntbert: are we speaking of /var/cache/apt folder ?
[22:15] <ubutom> ljsoftnet, try the drive management wizard from menu
[22:15] <ubutom> ljsoftnet, also displays device names
[22:15] <ljsoftnet> ubutom: exactly where is that? where do i start?
[22:16] <Appl6> mmfb: gee: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/libgtk1.2
[22:16] <guntbert> alecs: I'm not sure, but in the meantime you could try to use aptitude instead of apt-get
[22:16] <ubutom> ljsoftnet, second location in system menu, the thing with a drive icon
[22:16] <gee> Appl6 thanks so much
[22:16] <alecs> guntbert: my synaptic and update manager crashes as well
[22:16] <mmfb> Appl6: How do I know which to download?
[22:17] <ubutom> ljsoftnet, the same location the drive thingy is located and update management
[22:17] <Appl6> mmfb: Do you have 32 bit or 64 bit Ubuntu?
[22:17] <ubutom> *driver
[22:17] <Kane_Hart> will ubuntu work okay on windows 7 with 2gigs of ram in vmware?
[22:17] <ubutom> Kane_Hart, depends
[22:18] <mmfb> Appl6: Where can I find that out?
[22:18] <guntbert> alecs: from wikipedia: /var/lib/apt/lists/ : storage area for state information for each package resource specified in sources.list  - are there any files?
[22:18] <gee> Appl6 having problems with the deb now lol
[22:18] <ubutom> Kane_Hart, dependswin7 also need some of the RAM
[22:18] <rcscomp> I have done a little more work based on the troubleshooting guide and my card shows as "DISABLED" in lshw -C.  How do I enable it?
[22:18] <Octo_> hola
[22:18] <Appl6> mmfb: Paste here the results of "uname -m".
[22:18] <Appl6> gee: "Problems"?
[22:18] <Kane_Hart> I need to compile some code id give it 1gig ram and the cpu is like 2.5ghz duo and this would only be all via SSH no gui
[22:18] <mmfb> appl6: i686
[22:18] <nmvictor> i am running lucid, the application "System>Preference>Power Management", is it supposed to have an "On Battery Tab"
[22:18] <alecs> guntbert:  yes .... here are a lot of files
[22:18] <ubutom> Kane_Hart, so you can't really expect win7 to run great while the vm is running, if you give it more than 512MB it will be even slower
[22:19] <gee> Appl6 yeah doesnt want to install because the one i have is >= the one i've downloaded
[22:19] <lungan> Having som audiotrouble in ubuntu 10.04, If i start firefox before spotify or antything else, the sound only works in firefox (yuotube etc), but if I start spotify first, the sound only works in spotify
[22:19] <ubutom> Kane_Hart, should work
[22:19] <Appl6> mmfb: At the bottom of the page you'll see "Download libgtk1.2", choose the i386 one.
[22:19] <Kane_Hart> okay better yet then. Macbook osx10 4gigs ram duo 2.4ghz
[22:19] <Octo_> Can anyone help me with a [errno 5] i/o error in Ubuntu 10.04 install? No luck with the official fix... =[
[22:20] <guntbert> alecs: look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9436138  post #4
[22:20] <CaptainTrek> Octo_:  an input/output error could point to issues with your hard drive
[22:20] <mmfb> appl6: That was strange.
[22:20] <nmvictor>  i am missing "On Battery" tab in my System>Preference>Power Management, is this the default case in Lucid?
[22:20] <mmfb> appl6: After downloading my browser shut down
[22:21] <Octo_> It's a brand new WD 1Tb, I hope not... XP went on just fine, but can't get ubuntu to work...
[22:21] <gothenburg> :)
[22:21] <gothenburg> Octo_: ntfs?
[22:21] <Octo_> I partitioned 250gb for xp in ntfs
[22:22] <nmvictor> anyone please, does System>Prefence>Power Managemnt have a tab for "On Battery"?
[22:22] <alecs> guntbert: same problem
[22:23] <guntbert> nmvictor: here yes
[22:23] <Appl6> gee: You're entering uncertain territory.  You can pass --force-downgrade to dpkg, but this is risky business, and could seriously mess up your system.
[22:23] <rallias> how would i go about making a feature suggestion for a future version of ubuntu?
[22:23] <Appl6> gee: If you really want to play this game, make sure you have a backup now.
[22:23] <Vooloo> custom bashprompts anyone? can you do line draws in gnome terminal?
[22:23] <nmvictor> guntbert: are you runnung Lucid, apparantely i dont have that in my Lucid powerpc
[22:24] <guntbert> alecs: then I have to give up - I just don't know enough about apt -- sorry
[22:24] <guntbert> nmvictor: yes, fresh installed
[22:24] <MeanEYE> Vooloo, private?
[22:24] <gee> Appl6 yeah not going to bother. I have my set up just the way i want it haha.
[22:24] <mmfb> Appl6: Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libglib1.2ldbl (>= 1.2.10-18)
[22:24] <nmvictor> can anyone else confirm what guntbert is saying...
[22:24] <gee> Appl6 mmfb yeah thats what i got
[22:25] <mmfb> Appl6: That's the Status I get when try to install the package.
[22:25] <Appl6> gee: You told me something totally different.
[22:25] <gee> Appl6 lol i just looked at the >=
[22:26] <Appl6> gee: mmfb: That error is really easy to fix.  Just go back to the page you downloaded the package from, and under "Other Packages Related to" you'll see "libglib1.2ldbl".  Download that one, too, and install it first.
[22:26] <gee> Appl6 thanks :)
[22:26] <whodat> I got a pair of usb to cat5 extenders, but my webcam isnt seen on them, do I need a module built or called? not in lsusb or dmesg
[22:27] <gee> Appl6 what is this package? i dont delve into this much
[22:27] <Izinucs> whodat: so the camera is usb and connected to the cable that eventually plugs into the network?
[22:28] <kb-allstar> when i try to reload my synaptic package manager, i get an error message, and the same error message comes after i check for updates too
[22:28] <mmfb> Apple: The i386 package, again?
[22:28] <whodat> noizi
[22:28] <SamuelPeterson> Hi, I have a windows recovery partition that I need to remove from a friend's computer so he doesn't accidentally use it.
[22:28] <alecs> guntbert:  lool fixed
[22:28] <gee> mmfb yeah thats your computer architecture :)
[22:28] <guntbert> alecs: what was it?
[22:28] <alecs> list cache :
[22:28] <whodat> izinucs usb dongle for cat5 cable
[22:29] <taggie> izinucs, usb-cat5-usb, cat5!=ethernet, just uses the same cable.
[22:29] <SamuelPeterson> I have a windows recovery partition that I need to remove from a friend's computer so he doesn't accidentally use it. Would anyone know how to remove it and make it so that 'update grub' will not automatically re-add it?
[22:29] <guntbert> alecs: and how did you solve it?
[22:30] <alecs> guntbert:  " cd /var/lib/apt ; sudo rm -rf lists; mkdir -p lists/packages ; sudo chown -R root:root ./lists "
[22:30] <Izinucs> whodat: taggie ah.. then I have no answers.. to bad its usb at both ends otherwise you'd be dealing with ip issues as long as the cam works normally
[22:30] <OpenSourcedNick> *hyp*
[22:31] <wildbat> SamuelPeterson, you wanna REMOVE it from disk or just from grub?
[22:31] <OpenSourcedNick> christ
[22:31] <mmfb> Appl6: After installing the package I get the same error message: Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libgtk1.2-common (>= 1.2.10-18.1build2)
[22:31] <alecs> guntbert: after that ...  "sudo apt-get update"
[22:31] <OpenSourcedNick> just restarted to update my ubuntu and my computer was beeping like crazy, what gives?
[22:31] <gee> mmfb Appl6 yeah i'm getting the same lol
[22:31] <SamuelPeterson> wildbat: just from grub. I do not want to remove the partition.
[22:31] <guntbert> alecs: thx for reporting back - I glad you got it working again :-)
[22:31] <kb-allstar> this is the error message i am getting
[22:31] <whodat> izinucs modprobe usb dongle module?
[22:32] <kb-allstar> Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/user/ppa-name/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz  404  Not Found
[22:32] <kb-allstar> Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[22:33] <alecs> guntbert: i am just glad that i have root access ... and i can just rm -rf anything is problematic ... if i'd was on WindBlows  i could not fix it without reinstall
[22:33] <gee> mmfb waw this is slightly annoying. i normally never give up untill i get something working haha
[22:33] <guntbert> kb-allstar: that file doesn't exist - disable the ppa for now
[22:33] <wildbat> SamuelPeterson, you can modify the script in /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober, or change then partition type of that partition to ntfs -hidden
[22:34] <kb-allstar> guntbert: i don't know how to disable a ppa
[22:34] <guntbert> alecs: yes
[22:34] <mmfb> gee: I hear ya, man. This is just ridiculous, though. Although, I expect it right now because I have no clue what I'm doing with most Linux programs.
[22:34] <Masshuu> ubuntu server 10.04 is magical. evyerything just works. when i tried to get 9.04 working like 7 months ago, nothing worked right, and it took me several days to figure it out
[22:35] <alecs> Masshuu, you learned meanwhile ...
[22:35] <gee> mmfb i have a little bit of a clue. but what we're doing i have no idea about
[22:35] <Masshuu> no
[22:35] <mkquist> quick one - 10.4 doesnt do the two finger touchpad scroll on asus netbooks... is there a fix?
[22:35] <guntbert> kb-allstar: you did enable it though? go to system/adminstration/software sources, tab "other software" and uncheck this ppa
[22:35] <Masshuu> i installed postfix, and it worked properly witout any work
[22:35] <SamuelPeterson> wildbat: How do I make it ntfs -hidden?
[22:35] <Masshuu> i remember last time spending like 4 hours trying to understand the config files
[22:36] <kb-allstar> thanks guntbert
[22:36] <kb-allstar> i forgot i did that
[22:36] <guntbert> kb-allstar: no problem
[22:36] <alecs> Masshuu yeah ... for example i am using "ispConfig" and they have a tutorial to make an Ubuntu 10.04 box a server in minutes :D
[22:37] <Appl6> gee: mmfb: Do the same thing as last time.
[22:37] <Appl6> gee: mmfb: You got the same error message as last time, with a new package; you know how to fix this.
[22:38] <Masshuu> i guess the fact that the ubuntu 10.04 package i selected for my vps didn't even have nano, wget, man, and ive forgotten everything else i needed to install
[22:38] <Masshuu> htop
[22:38] <mmfb> Appl6: You're underestimating my newbie-ness. lol
[22:38] <whodat> I got a pair of usb to cat5 extenders, but my webcam isnt seen on them, do I need a module built or called? not in lsusb or dmesg
[22:38] <guntbert> kb-allstar: by the way: that is no valid ppa -- instead of ppa-name you must use the real name of that ppa
[22:39] <kb-allstar> ok, thanks :)
[22:39] <kbsmasher> I have a laptop which is giving me trouble.  It is Windows Vista, so the C:\ and D:\ are both NTFS.  Long story short, the Recovery Partition (D:\) is corrupt.  Is there a free utility that might reciver an NTFS partition?
[22:40] <kbsmasher> *recover
[22:40] <gee> Apple6 installed the other package you told us to, the original package has the same error
[22:40] <dj_segfault> I'm trying to fix the window buttons on Lucid so they're on the right where they're supposed to be.  I did the gconf-editor, apps/metacity/general/button_layout to ":minmize,maximize,ckise" thing, but they're still on the left.  I even tried logging out and back in.  WHat else can I try?
[22:40] <alket> how long does shipping from ubuntu shop take ?
[22:41] <kbsmasher> If I can get it to read again, all I'd have to do is Ghost it to another drive.  I think the HD is toast, but it is so much so, now ><
[22:41] <CaptainTrek> alket: to what country?  took a week or so for my last purchase from the ubuntu shop (I"m in the USA)
[22:41] <MeanEYE> dj_segfault, private?
[22:41] <alecs> Masshuu, yes ... that is a problem  on vps
[22:42] <gigasoft> how to format usb flash from terminal?
[22:42] <dj_segfault> MeanEYE: You mean you want to PM me?  Yes.
[22:42] <alecs> kbsmasher: try #windows  please
[22:42] <ubutom> kbsmasher, if it is really valuable data I would consider giving the hd to specialists
[22:42] <alket> CaptainTrek, I live in Kosovo I don't know if they even ship here but Im just curios to know who much i should wait before i realise that they don't ship here
[22:42] <whodat> how do you corrupt a recovery partition?
[22:42] <CaptainTrek> alket: *shrugs* could be days, weeks, months, or longer, dont know what to tell ya
[22:43] <mkquist> dj_segfault: change to an older theme that had the buttons that way
[22:43] <rww> alket: http://shop.canonical.com/contact_us.php
[22:43] <kbsmasher> The data has already been backed up...I could get discs from HP, but that would cost $$$.  I though Linux might have something free...all Windows software is in the ~$70 range, which is more than the HP recovery discs
[22:43] <alket> rww I sent a letter to them weeks ago but they don't reply
[22:44] <whodat> kbsmasher could try ddrescue
[22:44] <rww> alket: I'd consider whether you should buy stuff from a store that doesn't bother replying to you, then :\
[22:44] <kbsmasher> whodat: The machine seems to be doing a good job of it...I think the HD is failing.
[22:44] <djharsk> Is there a file to add "shortcuts" to ALT+F2?
[22:44] <Shapeshifter> How can I get rid of the password prompt on the keyring? Everytime I boot up, if asks for the password to be able to connect to the protected WPA wlan.
[22:44] <djharsk> (Using gnome)
[22:44] <Shapeshifter> I don't want to enter the keyring password, ever.
[22:44] <alket> rww but I really want to have those stuff
[22:45] <gothenburg> djharsk: check among the keyboard settings
[22:45] <guntbert> Shapeshifter: if the keyring protects only your wlan password you can remove the keyring password
[22:46] <Shapeshifter> guntbert: how? I looked in the menus but I can't find a keyring setting. Probably not looking hard enough...
[22:46] <piper69> i have a question: how can i make a specific permission for a specifc folder so that i don't have to edit permissions every time i add a file to that folder please
[22:46] <djharsk> gothenburg: Uh, perhaps I wasnt precise enough. But WHEN I press ALt+F2, and write, perhaps chromium-browser, I want to just write "chrome", and it launches the chrome browser

[22:48] <hardy> hello
[22:49] <guntbert> Shapeshifter: you're welcome :-) its a little trick to remove it there - but my keyring daemon isnÄt running so I cannot really tell you the way
[22:50] <rww> Albatorsk: hrm. For dhcp connections, that sort of thing is set in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf if I remember correctly. I'm not sure how it would work with more than one network interface.
[22:51] <Albatorsk> rww: Ok. I'll take a look at that. Thanks!

[23:00] <mmfb> gee: Haha, sorry, man.
[23:00] <mmfb> gee: Appl6: I think I got it!
[23:00] <gee> mmfb oh what you do?
[23:01] <mmfb> gee: wget -c http://ftp.games.skynet.be/pub/wolfenstein/et-linux-2.60.x86.run
[23:01] <mmfb> gee: put that command in
[23:01] <gee> mmfb newer version? lol i was just looking at that
[23:02] <banker247> is there a simple/safe way to backport php 5.3 to 5.2?
[23:02] <mmfb> gee: After it's done do   sh ./et-linux-2.60.x86.run
[23:02] <unop> !prevu | banker247
[23:02] <gee> mmfb yup :) 3 mins to download
[23:02] <iKb> i have a big problem, the gnome-power-manager alwaysw show fully-charged battery
[23:03] <mmfb> gee: During the install process I'm asked to enter an install path. It won't let me use the default path.
[23:03] <gee> :S lol this isnt a good night is it
[23:04] <mmfb> gee; Do all folder paths start with usr? or do I use my username? Ex. mmfb/local/Downloads
[23:04] <Serraphyn> If your not a great programmer what is ubuntu good for?  I mean linux in general has very few native games so its not a great game machine so what else is there if you to dumb to code?
[23:05] <gee> mmfb i have never used xubuntu so i'm not sure if its different
[23:05] <MeanEYE> Serraphyn, anything you need?
[23:06] <Appl6> gee: mmfb: So what's the status?
[23:06] <Serraphyn> MeanEYE, Well the only thing I did in windows 7 really was work on php, play Valve Games and dream of being a programmer.  PHP I already work on but I don't see games that work without a ton of emulation and configuration that I think I'm to dumb for.
[23:06] <gee> Appl6 mmfb seems mine has installed
[23:07] <Appl6> gee: Does the game work?
[23:07] <RegressLess> ubuntu 9.04 Where is the default installation directory for Firefox?
[23:08] <MeanEYE> Serraphyn, there are a lot of native games for linux... besides, you can always learn another programming language :D
[23:08] <gee> Apple6 mmfb game works :)
[23:08] <banker247> anyone have experience with vtigercrm?
[23:08] <gee> mmfb Apll6 no sound though. 2 secs
[23:08] <gee> mmfb Appl6 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnemyTerritory
[23:08] <mmfb> gee: How do you gain root permissions?
[23:08] <CaptainTrek> mmfb: sudo <command>
[23:08] <gee> mmfb sudo
[23:08] <Vooloo> how do I know what firewall is on? ps aux does not display iptables
[23:08] <Serraphyn> MeanEYE, I have tried, but the books and docks on stuff are hard for me to follow and game wise unless I want to play games from what look like mid 90s nintendo I have yet to find much for linux.
[23:09] <gee> mmfb that what you mean?
[23:09] <CaptainTrek> mmfb: where <command> is whatever command you want to run as root
[23:09] <MeanEYE> Serraphyn, what type of games are you interested in ?
[23:09] <mmfb> gee: CaptainTrek: Every time I try set up a directory I'm told "No write permissions <directory>"
[23:10] <gee> mmfb what you typing to exicute the .run file?
[23:10] <CaptainTrek> mmfb: it means that whatever directory you're creating your directory in is protected so you can't create it there
[23:10] <Serraphyn> MeanEYE, I used to play games like Team Fortress 2 and Force Unleashed.  Also like playing MMORPGs but I don't see any that really work well in linux emulated or not
[23:11] <the_madman> Lo everyone.
[23:11] <mmfb> gee: sh ./et-linux-2.60.x86.run
[23:11] <MeanEYE> Serraphyn, well, there are things like Quake Live, which is quite good. Then there's number of ported games...
[23:11] <Serraphyn> mmfb, is that enemy territory?
[23:11] <gee> mmfb try sudo sh ./et-linux-2.60.x86.run
[23:11] <mmfb> Serraphyn: Yeah
[23:11] <Serraphyn> mmfb, Where did you d/l that from I have yet to find a site it works from
[23:12] <gothenburg> isn't it time to sleep?
[23:12] <gee> Serraphyn wget -c http://ftp.games.skynet.be/pub/wolfenstein/et-linux-2.60.x86.run
[23:13] <mmfb> gee: Could you hook Serraphyn up? I'm busy messing with the install
[23:13] <gee> mmfb already have
[23:13] <sechs> hello!
[23:13] <guntbert> Vooloo: sudo iptables -L will give you a list of active rules
[23:13] <gee> sechs hello again. any luck with your drivers?
[23:13] <sechs> i tried the memtest, and it didnt found any error, and no, im not lucky today
[23:13] <Serraphyn> gee: will this work okay on amd64 system?
[23:14] <ohzie> Hey everybody! =)
[23:14] <Serraphyn> Hi Dr. Ohzie
[23:14] <Vooloo> gee: 404?
[23:14] <gee> Serraphyn thats what i'm running. had to install gtklib1.2
[23:14] <Vooloo> guntbert: right, but what process is the firewall in ps aux? or is it not there?
[23:14] <gee> Vooloo ?
[23:14] <ohzie> Is there a way to enable sata hotswap support?
[23:14] <guntbert> Vooloo: no, it is the kernel itself
[23:14] <Vooloo> gee: 404 on et
[23:14] <Serraphyn> gee, I see if I have them installed to be safe
[23:14] <mmfb> gee: Worked. Installing now
[23:14] <JimmyNeutron> How come "sudo apt-get upgrade" does not install the linux kernel update?
[23:14] <Vooloo> guntbert: ah
[23:15] <banker247> when i do a command.. sudo chmod -R a+rw /var/www
[23:15] <gee> mmfb great! i'm trying to get my sound working now
[23:15] <the_madman> I act as tech support for my family, and I've set up a remote desktop server on one of the computers with the standard Ubuntu tool.
[23:15] <banker247> does that enaable recursevly access to all files within folders and subfolders of this directory?
[23:15] <gee> Vooloo ok sorry i must have got it wrong
[23:15] <Ginbun2> it seems the new Ubuntu release has a lot of changes in the ways software are configured
[23:15] <guntbert> banker247: yes and it is a *very bad idea*
[23:15] <Serraphyn> gee, apt-get install gtklib1.2 package not found :(
[23:15] <Ginbun2> now I can't even do /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[23:15] <the_madman> From another Ubuntu machine, Applications --> Internet --> Remote Desktop Client connects and works well.
[23:15] <gee> Serraphyn Vooloo wget -c http://ftp.games.skynet.be/pub/wolfenstein/et-linux-2.60.x86.run
[23:16] <banker247> guntbert why if i am the only user?
[23:16] <gee> Serraphyn yeah you have to look up the packages two secs i'll get the page
[23:16] <Serraphyn> o.O
[23:16] <Serraphyn> okay thanks
[23:16] <the_madman> But on my Kubuntu machine, even though the server appears in KRDC, double-clicking it results in, "Server not found" errors.
[23:16] <Vooloo> gee: found itin the dir list
[23:16] <matumba> hello, quakelive sometimes leaves my gamma setting changed like ingame after closing firefox, any smart command to set it back to default?
[23:16] <gee> Serraphyn http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=libgtk1.2
[23:16] <the_madman> Is there something else I need to install for KRDC to work properly with VNC?
[23:17] <sechs> i have more problems, seing that the one with freezes will not get solved soon. I have installed pydance, and it gets an error, and dont start running. the message that appears is "sr0: CDROM not ready.  Make sure there is a disc in the drive." anyone know why?
[23:17] <MeanEYE> matumba, you can always write your config
[23:17] <Serraphyn> gee, so I install gimp I guess?
[23:17] <gee> mmfb can you remember what Appl6 said that other thing we were to download was? before Libgtk1.2.deb would work?
[23:17] <guntbert> banker247: because if anyone gets remote access to your machine he can write there too - giving rights to "all" is very rarely necessary
[23:17] <gee> Serraphyn i already had it installed lol
[23:18] <Serraphyn> I was gonna install it anyways as I use it alot
[23:18] <matumba> MeanEYE, QL works fine but after closing firefox the screen stays bright. restarting the X server works but that's a rather bad solution.
[23:18] <Appl6> Serraphyn: You need http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/libgtk1.2 .
[23:18] <ubutom> sechs, you got the disc of that game?
[23:18] <MeanEYE> oh...
[23:18] <MeanEYE> hm, matumba can we chat private...
[23:18] <sechs> ubutom, nop, it used to work fine, because i have it instaled on my computer. I installed it from the console....
[23:18] <Appl6> Serraphyn: If it complains about unsatisfiable dependencies, check that same page for the names of those packages, so you can download and install them first.
[23:19] <Serraphyn> Appl6, okay thanks
[23:19] <zap117> dont know if im in the right place but can any one help me with installing ubuntu on a raid0 system ?
[23:19] <sechs> ubutom when i installed some songs it ask for the cdrom, but i not have any cd rom. I never have it
[23:19] <gee> mmfb Appl6 Serraphyn i aint got no sound but i have the game working at least lol
[23:20] <Vooloo> I had a window manager before that would "minimize" the window to only a titlebar when you double clicked the tiblebar, can this be done? maybe with compiz?
[23:20] <ubutom> sechs, homepage says : Reads DWI, SM, and KSF files, in addition to its own .dance format.
[23:20] <Serraphyn> gee Appl6 http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/libgtk1.2
[23:20] <Serraphyn> er
[23:20] <ubutom> sechs, so you have to have some sort of file for it to work, if it worked before
[23:20] <Serraphyn> gee Appl6 ./setup.sh: 289: /root/.setup12491: not found
[23:20] <Serraphyn> when I sudo sh et-linux*
[23:20] <zap117> anyone ?
[23:21] <ubutom> sechs, nah, seems it has music included, then i don't know... have you tried reinstalling it?
[23:21] <Appl6> Serraphyn: Why is it in /root?  Where are you running setup.sh from?
[23:22] <Serraphyn> Appl6, I sudo -i wget it to /root and was doing sh et-linux*
[23:22] <sechs> ubutom I tried, but if I install more songs in .dwi format, it dont work! if it runs I cant dance, but if I can dance it dont run!
[23:22] <banker247> guntbet is there a way to check which areas have fulll 777 permissions?
[23:23] <ubutom> hhm, strange sechs
[23:23] <Appl6> Serraphyn: Don't wget it to root.  Move it to your home folder or to Downloads or something.
[23:23] <mmfb> gee: OH THANK GOD! I finally got out of it.
[23:23] <mmfb> gee: It's SUPER slow for some reason.
[23:23] <mmfb> gee: It seems like every game I play runs stupid slow.
[23:23] <JimmyNeutron> How come "sudo apt-get upgrade" does not install the linux kernel update?
[23:24] <zap117> my installation only finds 1 out of 2 raid0 arrays
[23:24] <Appl6> JimmyNeutron: Does it give you any errors or warnings?
[23:24] <Serraphyn> Appl6, same error just different dir.
[23:24] <hiexpo> JimmyNeutron,  you answered your own ?
[23:24] <JimmyNeutron> Appl6, It just tells me its held back
[23:24] <sechs> ubutom, Im getting familiar with strange things with ubuntu
[23:25] <JimmyNeutron> Appl6, If I use the Update GUI app, than it installs
[23:25] <ubutom> sechs, pydance has hardly much to do with ubuntu
[23:25] <Appl6> JimmyNeutron: So is it installed or not?
[23:25] <JimmyNeutron> I'm just trying to understand why the CLI commands don't work, but the GUI update works
[23:25] <gee> mmfb i just get kicked out of the game when i try to connect to a server now lol
[23:25] <Serraphyn> Gee, Appl6 : http://www.pastie.org/1001386 <-- what am I doing wrong?
[23:26] <Appl6> Serraphyn: Make sure you chown those files, since you downloaded them as root.
[23:26] <shane2peru> is there a simple way to have a script confirm before removing a file? rm should ask for confirmation, but it doesn't ???
[23:26] <JimmyNeutron> Appl6, Using the CLI commands, it does not work....using the GUI update program, it works
[23:26] <Serraphyn> Appl6 I did a chmod 777 on them
[23:26] <gee> Serraphyn not seen that before :S
[23:27] <unop> shane2peru, rm -i ...
[23:27] <Serraphyn> its okay Gee, I think I'm cursed when it comes to computers
[23:27] <guntbert> banker247: find / -perm 777
[23:27] <Appl6> Serraphyn: It's telling you that a file doesn't exist.  Does it exist?
[23:27] <MeanEYE> shane2peru, in terminal type alias, and check if there are no aliases defined for rm
[23:27] <sechs> ubutom i also tryed to use stepmania with wine, but my wine dont works, so my last hope was pydance.
[23:27] <Appl6> JimmyNeutron: Once you upgrade the kernel, you can't upgrade it again to the same version.
[23:27] <Serraphyn> Appl6 what file? I'm not controlling what it does after I do the .run file, did you look at the link I posted?
[23:27] <Appl6> JimmyNeutron: So if you've already upgraded it with the GUI, then you're not going to be able to upgrade it again.
[23:27] <Onepamopa> hi all
[23:28] <MeanEYE> Onepamopa, hi! :D
[23:28] <mmfb> I'm running 1Gb RAM and 2.2Ghz processor. Why are older games like Wolfenstein: EM running so slow even on the "fastest" settings?
[23:28] <ubutom> sechs, you could always try to contact the makers of pydance
[23:28] <shane2peru> unop, thanks!!!
[23:28] <MeanEYE> mmfb, compiz maybe?
[23:28] <Serraphyn> mmfb, what video card?
[23:28] <Onepamopa> So.. I'm looking for a way to scan all incomming connections to my linux server for proxy (3-4 defined ports)
[23:28] <Appl6> Serraphyn: Don't get snarky.  The pastebin says "./setup.sh: 273: /home/serraphyn/.setup12608: not found", where it's clearly telling you that it cannot find this particular file, "/home/serraphyn/.setup12608".  I'm asking if it exists.
[23:28] <mmfb> My XP SP2 with 1Gb RAM and 1.8Ghz processor runs it just fine.
[23:28] <Onepamopa> any way of doing that ?
[23:28] <JimmyNeutron> Appl6, it was the default kernel for 10.04, 2.6.32-21 and sudo apt-get upgrade tells me there is a 2.6.32-22 but the kernel update is being held back
[23:28] <mmfb> I'm not sure. How can I tell?
[23:28] <ohzie> Hey does anyone know how to use drivers built for, say, RHEL/FC or SUSE?
[23:29] <Daekdroom> mmfb, videocard, driver version and compiz on or not will matter.
[23:29] <mmfb> I got this computer with Linux preinstalled on it from a friend.
[23:29] <Serraphyn> Appl6, sorry I wasn't trying to be snarky, just I didn't make that file so let me check
[23:29] <Appl6> JimmyNeutron: Why do you say that the GUI succeeded in upgrading it?  If there's still an upgrade then the GUI didn't do it either.
[23:29] <sechs> ubutom, i think i will install an older version of ubuntu. My pc dont like 10.04
[23:29] <mmfb> How can I check all that without taking a screwdriver to my tower?
[23:29] <Serraphyn> Appl6 no it does not exist
[23:29] <MeanEYE> Onepamopa, realtime?
[23:29] <Daekdroom> mmfb, glxinfo | grep OpenGL
[23:30] <Onepamopa> I'm looking for a way to scan all incomming connections to my linux server for proxy (3-4 defined ports) and then filtering them via apf
[23:30] <Onepamopa> anyone?
[23:30] <sechs> maybe is the best way to solve my problems. I really dont want to get windows again...
[23:30] <Appl6> Serraphyn: If you looked for it with ls, make sure you do "ls -A", otherwise it won't display hidden files.
[23:30] <Daekdroom> mmfb, and go to System > Preferences > Appearances > Visual Effects, check if it's off.
[23:30] <JimmyNeutron> Appl6, Before the update, I did a "uname -a" and it shows the kernel as 2.6.32-21.  After the GUI update and a reboot, "uname -a" shows the kernel as 2.32-22.  So the GUI update did update the kernel
[23:30] <Appl6> JimmyNeutron: Try "aptitude why-not <pkg>" where <pkg> is the name of the package being held back.
[23:31] <Appl6> JimmyNeutron: OK, so if you've updated the kernel, why are you trying to re-update it from the command line?  It has already been upgraded.
[23:31] <Serraphyn> Appl6, its not there and I did ls ~/set<tab><tab><tab> and ls -A
[23:31] <JimmyNeutron> Appl6, Thanks!  Re-install 10.04 from scratch again and will try that CLI command.
[23:31] <mmfb> Daekdroom: How do I get there on Xubuntu?
[23:31] <ubutom> sechs, well, could solve some problems
[23:31] <zap117> is this the right place for installation help?
[23:31] <Daekdroom> mmfb, well, glxinfo | grep OpenGL has to be ran on a terminal, it's somewhere under the app menu.
[23:32] <Vooloo> anyone have a script that parses iptables log and rewrites into human readable form in another log file?
[23:32] <JimmyNeutron> Appl6, I'm just trying to understand why the first time I ran "sudo apt-get upgrade", it didn't download and install the new kernel, 2.6.32-22
[23:32] <JimmyNeutron> Appl6, and only after I use the GUI update, did the kernel got upgraded
[23:33] <Appl6> JimmyNeutron: From the error message, it means that someone or something told apt "don't upgrade the kernel!".  You can do that manually, or another program can say "I don't work with newer versions of the kernel, so don't upgrade it."
[23:33] <Serraphyn> JimmyNeutron, I think the kernel upgrades from commandline are require special setting to do.
[23:33] <mmfb> Daekdroom: glxinfo | grep OpenGL brought up the info... Which do I need to find out what I'm running?
[23:33] <Daekdroom> !pastebin | mmfb
[23:33] <Appl6> JimmyNeutron: I'm assuming the GUI just didn't tell you that the package was held, and it just upgraded it anyway.
[23:33] <Daekdroom> Paste the info there.
[23:33] <Daekdroom> and the link shoulds come here
[23:33] <Daekdroom> *should
[23:33] <JimmyNeutron> Appl6, That's correct.  The GUI didnt care and went ahead w/ the upgrade.
[23:33] <Appl6> JimmyNeutron: But since you've already upgraded it, the information that would tell you what was really going on isn't there any more.
[23:34] <Appl6> JimmyNeutron: So there probably isn't a good way to figure out now what happened.
[23:34] <mmfb> Daekdroom: What do I do with !pastebin | mmfb?
[23:34] <WikkidByDesign> I'm having an issue installing Ubuntu 10.04 onto a Compaq Presario 6000. the cd keeps saying I/O error. When i install 8.10-9.10 it will install fine, but apt-get is always corrupted. Windows XP will install fine
[23:34] <JimmyNeutron> Serraphyn, Do you know what paramters needs to be pass to force the kernel upgrade from CLI?  I'm using "sudo apt-get update" followed by "sudo apt-get upgrade"
[23:34] <Appl6> Serraphyn: JimmyNeutron: You don't need to do anything special at all.
[23:34] <Daekdroom> mmfb, you don't do nothing with that, it's just that I used it so the bot would show you http://paste.ubuntu.com , which is where you should paste the output of glxinfo | grep OpenGL
[23:34] <Appl6> Serraphyn: Do you need to run the installer as root?
[23:35] <sechs> ubutom, and if I install kubuntu? it will be easy to use like 10.04?
[23:35] <JimmyNeutron> Appl6, I'm wiping out my install and starting over w/ a clean fresh install of 10.04.
[23:35] <Serraphyn> Appl6, I think I found the answer, ia32-libs are not installed
[23:36] <Appl6> JimmyNeutron: OK.  I'd recommend using "aptitude" instead of "apt-get" for command line package management.
[23:36] <guntbert> !md5sum | WikkidByDesign did you check?
[23:36] <ubutom> sechs, yep, though I don't know how different it is, haven't used kde in a while
[23:36] <mmfb> Daekdroom: http://paste.ubuntu.com/448448/
[23:37] <Serraphyn> Appl6, that was the problem ia32-libs needed to be installed, works fine now
[23:37] <Daekdroom> mmfb, uh oh. You're running on no hardware driver.
[23:37] <ubutom> sechs, and maybe you'll run into the same freeze problem, worth a try I would say
[23:37] <Daekdroom> mmfb, do a lspci and pastebin it
[23:37] <JimmyNeutron> Appl6, Thanks!  I'll look into it and see what are the diff between apt-get and apititude
[23:37] <Daekdroom> mmfb, so we can find out which is your videocard
[23:37] <sechs> ubutom, im dammned with linux, then....
[23:38] <mmfb> http://paste.ubuntu.com/448449/
[23:40] <gothenburg> :D
[23:40] <Serraphyn> Appl6, it works now just no sound and is there a way to run it in window mode?
[23:40] <gee> Appl6 Thanks for all your help mate :) mmfb Thanks for reminding me that there is a great FPS for linux :D
[23:40] <sechs> ubutom, i will try to reinstall all, if that doesnt works, i will install kubuntu. but that will wait to tomorrow. Thank you to everyone for the help really. See you soon!
[23:40] <gee> Serraphyn i aint got any sound either
[23:40] <Daekdroom> mmfb, kk. Go to system > admin > Hardware drivers and check if it prompts you any driver is avaiable
[23:40] <mmfb> gee: Haha, glad to have "helped" all though it cause you a big headache.
[23:40] <mouse> If you set /home to another partition can that partition be ntfs?
[23:41] <gee> mmfb i remember buying the game from the shop when it came out lol...fond memories :P
[23:41] <Onepamopa> mouse it cant
[23:41] <mmfb> Daekdroom: Two, both inactive.
[23:41] <gee> mmfb still have it somewhere actually lol
[23:41] <mouse> Onepamopa, It has to be ext2,3, or 4?
[23:41] <Onepamopa> mouse exactly
[23:41] <Onepamopa> btw, use 4
[23:41] <Onepamopa> it gives best results
[23:41] <Onepamopa> ;)
[23:41] <gee> Bye everyone!
[23:41] <Daekdroom> mmfb, which are they?
[23:41] <guntbert> mouse: not a good idea in any case
[23:41] <gothenburg> lol ntfs xD
[23:42] <rikkimaru> is there a way I can run lucid on a vm on top of karmic?
[23:42] <Onepamopa> ;)
[23:42] <mouse> Onepamopa, I was afraid of that.  Why 4?
[23:42] <rtronk1> hello, i used /usr/sbin/useradd -m username to create 4 accounts, i have created a main user (which i am logged in with now and has Sudo access) and then i created 3 users by the name of the domain i am hosting under that acount (example.com)
[23:42] <Onepamopa> mouse it's new, and it's fast
[23:42] <rtronk1> when i login to any of these "domain" user accts on my ssh
[23:42] <Onepamopa> our servers used ext3 ...
[23:42] <Onepamopa> untill 1 month ago
[23:42] <rtronk1> i get $
[23:42] <Onepamopa> now we use 4
[23:42] <mouse> gothenburg, I only ask about ntfs cause windows can't read ext right?
[23:42] <Onepamopa> it's WAY faster
[23:42] <FloodBot4> Onepamopa: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:42] <rtronk1> no user@server folder:
[23:42] <rtronk1> just $
[23:42] <MeanEYE> rikkimaru, Yes... it's called VirtualBox
[23:42] <guntbert> Onepamopa: where did you find that "it has to be ext.."?
[23:42] <mmfb> Daekdroom: VNVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 173) [Recommended] and NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 96)
[23:43] <rtronk1> i edited .bashrc and added the same line i have for my username acct that gets username@home dir:
[23:43] <Onepamopa> guntbert well, do u use ntfs @ your linux box-es ? :)
[23:43] <rtronk1> is it because the usernames for the domains have . in them?
[23:43] <Daekdroom> mmfb, try installing the NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver, restart your system and check if the performance improves.
[23:43] <Daekdroom> mmfb, one second
[23:43] <Daekdroom> mmfb, I'll check which version is better for your card
[23:43] <ubutom_> rikkimaru, virtualbox
[23:43] <mmfb> Daekdroom: Alright.
[23:43] <Deathspawn> Meh.. any way to make it so the my Wi-Fi doesn't shut off everytime I shut my laptop on battery?
[23:43] <rikkimaru> ubutom_, cool, i'll give it a shot
[23:43] <guntbert> Onepamopa: no, I just said "not a good idea" - I only was curious because there is a difference between "not good" and "not possible"
[23:44] <Daekdroom> mmfb, according to the nvidia website, 173 should work
[23:44] <Daekdroom> mmfb, go for it, and good luck
[23:44] <Onepamopa> guntbert well, in any case - it's better to use the provided file systems
[23:44] <Onepamopa> than ntfs or something like that
[23:44] <mmfb> Daekdroom: Thanks. I'll be back in a bit to update you.
[23:44] <Onepamopa> my guess is that he wants a partition that he can access via windows too ..
[23:45] <prince_jammys> rtronk1: ssh as one of those users, and 'echo $PS1'
[23:45] <guntbert> Onepamopa: agreed :-)
[23:45] <Onepamopa> so... my question again ..
[23:45] <revygttam> Ive generated an RSA key on my ssh server and appended to available_keys on my local machine however it still only prompts for a password not my passphrase, any suggestions?
[23:45] <rtronk1> line 1$ echo $PS1 line 2  $ line
[23:45] <Onepamopa> anyone knows a good proxy detection tool ?
[23:46] <Onepamopa> bash, java... etc  ?
[23:46] <prince_jammys> rtronk1: type:  PS1='\u@\h:\w:\$ '
[23:46] <guntbert> Onepamopa: what do you mean my "proxy detection tool" ?
[23:46] <no-name> what are the main practical differences between ext2 and ext4?
[23:47] <mouse> ext3 =P
[23:47] <no-name> :P
[23:47] <Onepamopa> guntbert a tool that will help be ban all proxy ip's that are connected/connecting to my server
[23:47] <rtronk1> \u@\h:\w:$
[23:47] <prince_jammys> rtronk1: that's what you see?
[23:47] <rtronk1> ya
[23:47] <prince_jammys> rtronk1: echo $SHELL
[23:48] <MeanEYE> no-name, speed :D ...
[23:48] <rtronk1> /bin/sh
[23:48] <MeanEYE> no-name, encryptions and lots of other things
[23:48] <prince_jammys> rtronk1: make the user's shell /bin/bash
[23:48] <MeanEYE> :D
[23:48] <rtronk1> how do i do that?
[23:48] <rtronk1> lemme google first
[23:48] <prince_jammys> rtronk1: one way is to (carefully) edit it in /etc/passwd
[23:48] <no-name> MeanEYE: which is faster?
[23:49] <MeanEYE> no-name, ext4
[23:49] <no-name> k thanks MeanEYE
[23:49] <Chak82> good afternoon community
[23:49] <MeanEYE> no-name, np :D
[23:49] <mouse> Is there a way to get windows to read ext?
[23:49] <Guest81780> choonming = groooming ?
[23:49] <Chak82> can someone help me to make works gnome-art under 10.04?
[23:49] <rtronk1> prince_jammys: i am a complete newb to this, i was lucky enuff to get this going as it is now, (mysql/php/apache2/phpmyadmin and configured /working:()
[23:50] <rtronk1> any chance you could tell me a easy way to do it with no risk of fking somehting up
[23:50] <guntbert> Onepamopa: I guess you mean "open proxies"; the usual way is to ask some sort of RBL
[23:50] <no-name> mouse: hold a gun to bill gates head and tell him to add ext support to windows
[23:50] <Vooloo> anyone have a script that parses iptables log and rewrites into human readable form in another log file?
[23:50] <mmfb> Daekdroom: Runs perfectly! Thank you SO much.
[23:50] <prince_jammys> rtronk1: you may configure the user's shell in /etc/default/useradd  (and re-create the users), or edit the current ones by (carefully) editing the user's lines in /etc/passwd
[23:50] <Daekdroom> mmfb, no problem
[23:51] <Onepamopa> guntbert I want to be able to scan them via defined ports
[23:51] <Onepamopa> but... hm
[23:51] <prince_jammys> rtronk1: in the future, use the 'adduser' command, which is easier than 'useradd'.
[23:51] <mouse> no-name, If I was going to go that far I would tell him to make windows open source.
[23:51] <no-name> hehehe
[23:51] <mmfb> gee: Got it to work with the help of Daekdroom, man. Wanna play a couple rounds?
[23:52] <guntbert> Onepamopa: no way - they behave like normal browsers - but you could ask in ##networking (I never tried that)
[23:52] <Onepamopa> guntbert I'm not talking about detecting proxy @ apache ... ;)
[23:52] <Onepamopa> I already have a way of doing it
[23:52]  * Guest81780 hey mouse you watch out for big cats
[23:52] <Onepamopa> but I cant do the same for the other stuff @ our server
[23:52] <Onepamopa> ;)
[23:53]  * mouse is the mouse that ate the cat.
[23:53] <Onepamopa> mouse it depends on the cat ;)
[23:53] <mouse> lol very true.
[23:53] <guntbert> Onepamopa: then I must pass, you obvioulsy know more than I do - try ##networking
[23:53] <Guest81780> oh then you must the rat in mouse clothing
[23:54] <Onepamopa> guntbert my question isnt related to networking in general ....
[23:54] <mmfb> How do you uninstall programs within Linux? I downloaded Wolfenstein: ET for Wine, and I click on "Uninstall W: ET" from my "Others" tab, but it doesn't erase it from Linux, just uninstalls it off Wine.
[23:54] <liam_wullfin> I want to record sound from my text reader program ... can someone point me in the right direction?
[23:54] <ubutom_> mouse, theres at least a tool for ext3 i used some time ago, forgot it's name though
[23:54] <guntbert> Onepamopa: but even less to ubuntu support :-)
[23:54] <Onepamopa> well, everyone has to start from somewhere
[23:54] <Onepamopa> ;)
[23:55] <Chak82> hello, i have some problems with gnome-art
[23:55] <Talbots> ok i will come back in few weeks
[23:55] <Chak82> this not open
[23:55] <Daekdroom> mmfb, it is unninstalled from wine, but for some reason the menu shortcuts are still there
[23:55] <mouse> liam_wullfin, Do you mean it's still in the menu?
[23:55] <mmfb> Daekdroom: What about programs for Linux that are on Add/Remove Applications?
[23:56] <Daekdroom> mmfb, those should vanish normally.
[23:56] <mmfb> Daekdroom: not*
[23:56] <Daekdroom> mmfb, ah, no idea.
[23:56] <Daekdroom> mmfb, not being there is too vague.
[23:56] <mmfb> Daekdroom: Maybe just delete the containing folders?
[23:56] <liam_wullfin> Mouse I make the program recite text ... but I need an audio file of the sounds.
[23:56] <Daekdroom> mmfb, it's not like windows :S
[23:57] <mmfb> Daekdroom: Yeah.  I installed Flash 10.1 32 bit on my 64 bit system using "sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture install_flash_player_10_linux.deb", and it didn't seem to work. When I go to remove it, it's not showing up in Synaptic, but I see it as "adobe-flashplugin" when I do a dpkg -l. Attempting to do a "sudo apt-get remove --purge adobe-flashplugin" comes up with "Package adobe-flash plugin is not i
[23:58] <rayt> use the 64bit version
[23:58] <Exxon> hi there
[23:58] <Exxon> how to mount usb!
[23:58] <myrtlebeachbums> Would love to, but I'm just trying to get rid of the 32 bit version which is currently installed.
[23:58] <mouse> liam_wullfin, Oh sorry read wrong name.  However if you want to do what I think you want, what I did was connect an audio wire from speakers right back into mic port and used audocity to record.
[23:59] <mmfb> One more question before I to play around on here... I'm using a headset, but for some reason I can't alter the sound by using the sound adjusting thingy on Linux. I have to use the wheel on the cord. How can I change that?
[23:59] <guntbert> Exxon: normally an usb storage device is mounted automatically and you get an icon on your desktop
[23:59] <peque> hi all, I would like to make backups of a whole directory. I've tried Déjà Dup, but it is not what im looking for. Is there a program which just clone the directory the first time (no compression) and then the next time just clone de differences? (I dont need it to keep the different changes in different days, just want the latest version of that directory cloned). Thanks in advance! :)
