[00:00] <KaiForce> JayCool:  much obliged
[00:00] <JayCool> KaiForce,  NP I hope thats the right thing you needed
[00:00] <mazda01_> when i issue lshw, it says my eth1 is disabled. anyone tell me why
[00:01] <rainbowinfinity> can anyone help me instal my printer???
[00:01] <airtonix> !repeat > rainbowinfinity
[00:01] <hiexpo> how do i change the color of my text shown is always gray hard to see / using xchat
[00:01] <airtonix> hiexpo, , xchat window : settings > advanced > text events >>> scroll to > "Your Message"
[00:02] <tanner> what is the application name for the 'Disk Utility' in 9.10?
[00:02] <JayCool> tanner,  what do you need to do with your disk ?
[00:02] <airtonix> tanner, you can find out for yourself by editing the menu
[00:02] <tanner> i want to launch the application
[00:03] <tanner> airtonix: that seems a bit excessive just to get the name of the application
[00:03] <mazda01_> tanner, palimpsest
[00:03] <M1DLGpc> I am having trouble understanding how to get grub fixed, after reinstalling XP in first partition, i've tried the wiki howto, but i just dont understand
[00:03] <tanner> thank you mazda01_
[00:03] <airtonix> tanner, regardless its something you can do for yourself
[00:03] <arand> M1DLGpc: So have you mounted the ubuntu drive?
[00:03] <tanner> airtonix: that's a shitty solution to provide in a channel dedicated to a distro that is meant to be user friendly
[00:03] <mazda01_> tanner, as long as you understand you can find out the command for any application by editng the main menu
[00:03] <mazda01_> when i issue lshw, it says my eth1 is disabled. anyone tell me why
[00:04] <airtonix> tanner, and i disagree that it is excessive... terraforming a planet is exessive... editing a menu is trivial
[00:04] <JayCool> hey guys be nice
[00:04] <M1DLGpc> arand, i have no idia whats mounted and whats not
[00:04] <tanner> airtonix: yeah, that attitude will really take Ubuntu far.
[00:04] <airtonix> tanner, your point is ?
[00:05] <M1DLGpc> sounds like theres either trolling or baiting here
[00:05] <JayCool> nah they are both good people , they just disagree
[00:06] <marco> ciao
[00:06] <arand> M1DLGpc: First, start a terminal..
[00:07] <airtonix> hiexpo, more info here : http://t0x.in/xchattextevents.html
[00:07] <M1DLGpc> arand, started
[00:07] <arand> M1DLGpc: you are on a liveCD now right?
[00:07] <M1DLGpc> on that machine
[00:07] <M1DLGpc> I'll have to copy everything over
[00:08] <arand> M1DLGpc: Ok, now run "sudo fdisk -l" which will list all the partitions on there, one of them should be "ext" filesystem which would be the ubuntu partition.
[00:09] <arand> M1DLGpc: Note which one that is, name is normally sda# (# being a number)
[00:09] <M1DLGpc> i think sda5
[00:10] <_Tristan> I have this problem: http://i45.tinypic.com/2hqar2r.png (my controls are broken) tell me how to fix it and I'll give you $30
[00:11] <arand> M1DLGpc: ok, then you create a directory "sudo mkdir /media/tmpdir"...
[00:11] <hiexpo> airtonix, - ok i went there and there was a code there but what do i do to change the color?
[00:11] <ta> how can I move the menu bars from one monitor to the other in extended desktop? I have the menu bar on the right monitor, but I want to move it to the monitor on left
[00:11] <M1DLGpc> arand, I have 2 i think it might be sda2 and sda5 sda2 is w95 ext'd (LBA) and the other just is linux
[00:11] <JayCool> click on it
[00:12] <M1DLGpc> done
[00:12] <JayCool> M1DLGpc,  you can fire up gprated to see this in a gui
[00:12] <M1DLGpc> ok
[00:12] <JayCool> *gparted
[00:13] <arand> M1DLGpc: And then mount this partition to that directory "sudo mount /dev/sda# /media/tmpdir" (# again being the number of the ubu partition)
[00:14] <ZykoticK9> mupen64plus (cli version from google repository, gui in Ubuntu repo currently broken), A & B buttons backwards on my N64 controller -- a week-or-so ago asked in the channel if anyone knew how to swap them and was directed to ~/.config/mupen64plus where i eventually found mupen64plus.cfg (different config file from GUI version), and was able to simply change Button A to 5 and Button B to 4 (or vice-versa) and my problem was fixed!  Reinstalled MythBuntu a
[00:14] <ZykoticK9> nd now the cfg doesn't have anything to change under input (it's blank for all 4 controllers) - i tried installing the GUI version to see if that made any difference (it of course does not) --- SO my question is: does anyone have a mupen64plus.cfg file configured for an N64 controller what would be willing to share there SDL input section with me?
[00:14] <M1DLGpc> gparted errors with cant have overlaping partitons
[00:15] <arand> M1DLGpc: hmm, that might be a sign of some other problem...
[00:15] <_Tristan> http://i45.tinypic.com/2hqar2r.png fix this problem and I'll give you $30.
[00:15] <M1DLGpc> ok
[00:15] <JayCool> M1DLGpc,  you didn't change anything right? it just said that on start up?
[00:15] <M1DLGpc> yes
[00:16] <M1DLGpc> no changes
[00:16] <M1DLGpc> I can use gparted, grub however (at least the following of the wiki) has me confused
[00:16] <mrpinky> i created an "install" target in the makefile for my library, which just cp's the library to /usr/lib and chmod 755, and cp's the header to /usr/include and chmod 755. is there a "proper" way to create an "install" target in the makefile for my library?
[00:16] <M1DLGpc> arand, I have that ok
[00:16] <Stormx2> _Tristan: sudo rm /root/.themes && sudo ln -s /home/yourusername/.themes /root/.themes
[00:17] <Stormx2> _Tristan, sudo rm -rf /root/.themes && sudo ln -s /home/yourusername/.themes /root/.themes <-- sorry, try this
[00:17] <arand> M1DLGpc: It may be that the partition table is incorrect, in which case just reinstalling grub might not solve everything, we could try though..
[00:17] <Jinxware> does anyone have an elantech touchpad that is incorrectly detected as a usb mouse?
[00:17] <hiexpo> hmmm
[00:17] <M1DLGpc> please
[00:18] <_Tristan> Stormx2: did not do it
[00:18] <Stormx2> _Tristan: Try logging out and in.
[00:18] <_Tristan> Stormx2: tried that too
[00:18] <Stormx2> Just now?
[00:18] <M1DLGpc> i'll run spinrite when I reboot after the fix assuming we get the fix
[00:18] <_Tristan> I tried those two things in order many times before
[00:19] <JayCool> _Tristan,  this is an issue with the theme engine i don't think that will work , it's broken and cant find the engine :(
[00:19] <arand> M1DLGpc: ok, after mounting it, run the command "sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/tmpdir /dev/sda#" (# again...) which will reinstall grub.
[00:19] <M1DLGpc> arand, instaling xp has a nasty effect on any hdd.....
[00:20] <_Tristan> JayCool: I have a live CD and everything works fine on that... can't I just copy over the right files?
[00:20] <arand> M1DLGpc: hm, in theory, it shouldn't...
[00:20] <hiexpo> ok figured it out thanks
[00:21] <M1DLGpc> --root is unreconised
[00:21] <SaEeD> hi everyone, my Display in ubuntu is corrupted and everything is now over sized, and when i try to resize the display resolution it doesnt event detect my default one which is "1280x1024"
[00:21] <SaEeD> how do u think i can fix it ? :(
[00:21] <hiexpo> much better
[00:21] <Trek> SaEeD: sounds like an issue with your system, you tried running off a LiveCD to see if it works?
[00:21] <SaEeD> i tried the " dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" but no luck
[00:21] <JayCool> _Tristan, you can try copying the /usr/share/themes/ Murina Over to your HD from the CD
[00:22] <SaEeD> well, windows works fine without anyproblem
[00:22] <pwnedulongtime> how do I install ubuntu on my iPad?
[00:22] <_Tristan> lol.
[00:22] <SaEeD> i even reinstalled the xserver-xorg but still it didnt fix the problem
[00:22] <chat70052> to saeed: try to reinstall vga drivers
[00:22] <JayCool> dude you dont have a ipad and if you did that was a stupid purchase
[00:22] <looter> how do i open my website files in /var/www through GUI without having to use sudo through command line?
[00:22] <lacita> I am setting up a 5TB+ partititon with a gpt partition table. The drive is comprised of 4x2TB in RAID5. To boot from this drive, I must have 2 boot partitionsa: a Dell Utility Partition (94.1Mb), and a FAT32 partition (2.01Gb) at the beginning of the drive. The placement of the Dell Utility partition is from sector 63 to 192779, The placement of the FAT32 partition should be from sector 192780 to 4401809. This is easy to set up using fdisk, however, there
[00:22] <lacita> is no gpt support in fdisk. I am trying to use parted, but cannot figure out how to define a partition by sector. Any ideas?
[00:23] <timothy_> u can try to purge the package
[00:23] <arand> M1DLGpc: If the error message is "Unrecognized option `--root'" then make sure it has no spaces after root.
[00:23] <pwnedulongtime> JayCool, you're a smart boy
[00:23] <lacita> You tell'em Jaycool
[00:23] <SaEeD> i did , i use nvidia "Gforce 7300 LE" i installed the module but still doesnt work
[00:23] <SaEeD> even i removed the module from the kernel and reinstalled it , but still didnt work :(
[00:23] <_Tristan> looter: either chmod the folder or make a launcher with the command "gksudo nautilus /var/www"
[00:23] <SaEeD> that is why i came here , i cannot think of anything else :(
[00:23] <chat70052> or drivers for monitor
[00:24] <pwnedulongtime> if I had an ipad I'd probably use it to hit iphone users over the head with
[00:24] <IdleOne> !ot | pwnedulongtime
[00:24] <SaEeD> driver for monitor?
[00:24] <meganerd> looter: add your use to the www-data group and make sure that the www-data group has write permissions
[00:24] <JayCool> Your no fun you IR Cop!
[00:24] <looter> Tristan: I would rather not change permissions....could you please expand on making a launcher....i would prefer edit all my files with scite. Thank you
[00:25] <pwnedulongtime>  /join #ubuntu-ipad
[00:25] <M1DLGpc> arrand i various warnings followed by a error cannot read /grub/core.img correctly
[00:25] <pwnedulongtime> damn it
[00:25] <SaEeD> well it detects my monitor as "unknown" do you think it is causing this issue ?
[00:26] <looter> meganerd: thank you.  that sounds like a viable option.
[00:26] <JayCool> SaEeD,  My works Fine as unknown what video card are you useing?
[00:26] <SaEeD> Nvidia Gforce 7300 LE
[00:27] <meganerd> looter: also, you could create a shortcut to launch scite with sudo privs, the command would be "gksudo scite"
[00:27] <SaEeD> everything was working fine till yesterday , and i didnt do anything
[00:27] <meganerd> looter: then you should be able to open files from within scite
[00:27] <JayCool> SaEeD,  Do you Have the Closed Source drivers installed?
[00:27] <SaEeD> i just tried to reboot to ubuntu and i faced to this problem
[00:27] <SaEeD> yes
[00:27] <SaEeD> even the module is loaded
[00:27] <arand> M1DLGpc: hmm, if you do "ls -l /media/tmpdir/boot/grub/core.img" does it show up?
[00:27] <JayCool> SaEeD,  can you get to a GUI ?
[00:27] <SaEeD> i can see it with modprobe command
[00:28] <amites> Anyone know how to roll back a set of updates? I marked "mark all upgrades" through synaptic package manager and ran it - can no longer load nvidia drivers / php
[00:28] <SaEeD> yes, but everything is over sized
[00:28] <AlexJTanner> i kind of need help
[00:28] <Trek> !ask | AlexJTanner
[00:28] <AlexJTanner> my computer rebooted and all of a sudden it's down to 800x600
[00:28] <AlexJTanner> i am running ubuntu 9.10
[00:29] <M1DLGpc> yes
[00:29] <SaEeD> AlexJTanner: i have same problem here now
[00:29] <AlexJTanner> seriously
[00:29] <AlexJTanner> is it some sort of update
[00:29] <SaEeD> yes
[00:29] <tico> hellooooooooooo
[00:29] <AlexJTanner> how do we fix it
[00:29] <Craig_Dem> Check graphics card drivers
[00:29] <Craig_Dem> Etc
[00:29] <tico> come body cal help me out with this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/515786
[00:29] <SaEeD> i dont know , the last thing i did wsa trying to compile QT framework for C++ programming
[00:29] <AlexJTanner> I don't have any properitary graphic cards
[00:29] <paissad> mates, i need an advice, a big one, .. actually i mistaken during a files copying to a dir ... but fortunately,  i have a backup of that directories (4 dirs) .... how must i use rsync to delete the directory & replace it by the backup .. a sort of downgrade
[00:30] <AlexJTanner> it's an onboard video card
[00:30] <JayCool> SaEeD,  Press alt+f2 type "Terminal"  then run sudo nvidia-settings
[00:30] <M1DLGpc> arand, yes
[00:30] <paissad> i could use rm -rf dir1 dir2 dir3 and so on, .... but i expect rsync to just replace contents of that dirs
[00:30] <paissad> is it possible ?
[00:30] <granite> liek hai
[00:30] <JayCool> SaEeD,  you should see a nvida window you can now pick and apply and resolution
[00:31] <SaEeD> JayCool: yeah , the application setting is there , but it doesnt recognize my monitor
[00:31] <ZykoticK9> JayCool, SaEeD you should always use "gksu GUI_program" and not just sudo - it is important
[00:31] <SaEeD> JayCool: i tired that , but didnt work
[00:31] <ardchoille> paissad: look into the --delete option to rsync
[00:31] <xim_> is the swap mount supposed to be shown when i type df -h? because i have a large swap partition that may not be getting used. I dont see it here
[00:31] <_Tristan> JayCool: found an error message in ~/.xsession-errors:  Unable to locate theme engine in module_path
[00:31] <arand> M1DLGpc: Hmm, don't know what's wrong then, sure you havent misstyped the grub-install command, test adding a / at the end of tmpdir...
[00:31] <paissad> ardchoille, that option deletes from the source or the destination ?
[00:32] <M1DLGpc> ok
[00:32] <meganerd> xim_: swapon -s
[00:32] <ardchoille> paissad: deletes from the destination, but read the man page anyway, several good options there
[00:32] <M1DLGpc> I fail.
[00:32] <meganerd> xim_: swap will not show in df
[00:32] <xim_> cool i see this now
[00:32] <xim_> thanks
[00:33] <M1DLGpc> thanks arand, i'll give it a miss for now, I'll try again tomorrow but earlier in the evening
[00:33] <ardchoille> paissad: And make sure your rsync command is correct
[00:33] <M1DLGpc> thanks for the time arand
[00:33] <meganerd> xim_: htop is pretty good at showing mem usage (and swap), as is the GUI you get when you dbl-click the CPU graph applet
[00:33] <paissad> ardchoille, i saw that option --delete, but i just wondered if i would delete knowing that the files in the destination dir are more recent
[00:33] <JayCool> _Tristan,  This is what i was afraid of , maybe re install GTK libs so it relinks to the engine?
[00:33] <xim_> meganerd, ah ya, i love htop, didnt think to use it
[00:33] <arand> M1DLGpc: No problem, sorry it wasn't fixed, I'm kind of scratching my head as to why...
[00:33] <mkanyicy> xim_, use 'free -m' to see the memory usage ans swap usage
[00:33] <_Tristan> JayCool: what packages specifically? (I've reinstalled half the OS it seems)
[00:33] <paissad> ardchoille, rsycn -av --delete source_dir dest_dir
[00:33] <ardchoille> paissad: I use that option all the time, it works fine but make sure your rsync command is correct
[00:33] <TimReichhart> could anybody tell me how I can create a symlink or cp from /usr/share/freeside/www  to var/www
[00:33] <mkanyicy> how can we help you ubuntutwo ?

[00:35] <_Tristan> SaEeD: nope
[00:35] <unlofl> I'm trying to get ssl certs for several servers, whats the term for using chained certificates with a root authority? ie verisign signs my cert, which I use to sign certs for each of my servers
[00:35] <mkanyicy> TimReichhart, /var/www should not exist as a directory
[00:35] <unlofl> I can't seem to google the correct term, "chained" seems to get me lots of self-signed ssl info

[00:36] <granite> !u mean
[00:36] <mkanyicy> how can we help you ekim ?
[00:36] <AlexJTanner> so I am actually going to boot up my live cd that I installed it with that worked and copy the xorg.conf file

[00:37] <IdleOne> granite: please be civil
[00:37] <mkanyicy> ekim, you welcome

[00:38] <granite> Hmmm...
[00:38] <mkanyicy> !hi | MFen
[00:38] <paissad> is there no option for simulating operations of rsync command just as "aptitude -s update" for examle ! ...
[00:38] <unlofl> I used to mess with xorg all the time, then I threw away my ati card :)
[00:38]  * granite strokes beard
[00:38] <MFen> karmic - compiz - all of a sudden my desktop started running in plain old gnome (metacity?) mode
[00:38] <AlexJTanner> I am actually going to use an ubuntu 9.04 live cd
[00:38] <ryanprior> I just installed Ubuntu 9.04 on my laptop. The install went great, and it boots up fine, but when I actually log in, each and every character of text is displayed as a box. What can I do to fix that? I already tried re-installing; just got done, same thing happens.
[00:38] <unlofl> mfen - there is automatic failover.
[00:38] <AlexJTanner> because apparently ubuntu 9.10 does not create one
[00:38] <unlofl> so if compiz crashes, all your apps continue running in "non-shiny" mode
[00:38] <JayCool> MFen,  you can re enable it in appearance Effects i think
[00:38] <MFen> unlofl: forever? this has persisted through several reboots. if i run compiz explicitly i get it
[00:39] <mkanyicy> MFen, google for 'compiz-check' and use it to debug whats wrong and take it from there
[00:39] <unlofl> try "compiz --replace" to restart it and have it replace the running metacity (part of gnome) window manager
[00:39] <unlofl> oh, well, not sure.  Try the compiz --replace thing, if that works then you know compiz still works and it isn't being started correctly at boot up
[00:39] <ryanprior> I said 9.04 but I meant 9.10
[00:39] <mkanyicy> how can we help you, starNIX ?
[00:39] <MFen> compiz --replace does start compiz
[00:40] <MFen> so it isn't being started correctly
[00:40] <mkanyicy> !HI | AresGodofWar
[00:40] <starNIX> just hangin
[00:40] <MFen> under appearance > effects it was set to "normal". i changed it to custom, i guess i'll restart and see what happens
[00:40] <progre55> hi people! is it possible to restrict a program/task to use only some certain percent of CPU?
[00:40] <MFen> thanks for the moral support so far :)
[00:40] <_Tristan> JayCool: didn't help
[00:40] <MFen> i'll try compiz-check rn
[00:40] <mkanyicy> progre55, 'man nice'
[00:40] <SaEeD> well according to the logs ox Xorg , it seems it got a problem with detecting my monitor
[00:40] <coz_> MFen,  I dont think compiz check is valid with recent versions
[00:41] <progre55> mkanyicy: thanks
[00:41] <SaEeD> is there anyway that i can install driver for monitor in ubuntu ?
[00:41] <coz_> MFen,  what is the issue?
[00:41] <unlofl> mfen : good news!  the appearance effects is probably the correct way to config this, you can look into setting up your own x init script if the ubuntu configuration guis aren't setting something correctly
[00:41] <MFen> coz_: or available via apt, at any rate :)
[00:41] <JayCool> _Tristan,  Think About a re install maybe ?
[00:41] <coz_> MFen,  what are you looking for?
[00:41] <MFen> unlofl: so did it "fail over" to "normal"?
[00:41] <JayCool> _Tristan,  I Hate to say the word reinstalll
[00:42] <MFen> coz_: my compiz mysteriously stopped working. unlofl says this may be because it crashed at some point and was afraid to come back
[00:42] <mkanyicy> !hi | ogra
[00:42] <mkanyicy> how can we help you, bstempi ?
[00:42] <coz_> MFen,  mm   did you have a system update that included any xorg or kernel updates?
[00:42] <bstempi> you can't
[00:42] <JayCool> SaEeD,  You dont really need such drivers in linux and they dont really have many
[00:42] <bstempi> XChat just brought me here by default :p
[00:42] <mkanyicy> bstempi, fine with me
[00:42] <starNIX> me too
[00:42] <MFen> coz_, unlofl: this probably happened because i took a hard drive out of my fast laptop and usb'd it into a loaner laptop
[00:43] <mkanyicy> bstempi, enjoy your stay then
[00:43] <bstempi> thanks :)
[00:43] <JayCool> SaEeD,  myabe dabble with your xorg config ?
[00:43] <ryanprior> I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) on my laptop. The install went great, and it boots up fine, but when I log in every character of text is displayed as a box. I already tried re-installing, but that didn't fix it. In the LiveCD system, the text looks fine. Any ideas why it doesn't render right in an installed system?
[00:43] <mkanyicy> !hi | knoppies
[00:43] <coz_> MFen,  are the video cards different in each one?
[00:43] <MFen> the loaner laptop sucked. also, the usb setup wasn't ideal for running my home directory. it wouldn't surprise me if it crashed
[00:43] <MFen> yes
[00:43] <IdleOne> mkanyicy: please stop using !hi to greet every user, you are adding to channel scroll
[00:43] <coz_> MFen,  well then there's the issue...you need to install the proper vide driver
[00:44] <SaEeD> my Xorg.conf file is the file that created with NVida installet which used to work great until yesterday
[00:44] <MFen> anyway, i have the good laptop back now.  we'll see whether the effects setting was the problem
[00:44] <mkanyicy> !hi | IdleOne
[00:44] <MFen> so, brb doing that
[00:44] <_Tristan> JayCool: a reinstall just to make my gtk2 engines work... baww
[00:45] <rainbowinfinity> i found someplace to download the drivers for a canon pixma mp250, but i am a real newbie, and I don't understand the directions...is there someone who might help me??
[00:45] <mkanyicy> ryanprior, are you using kde (kubuntu) ?
[00:45] <ryanprior> I am using standard Ubuntu 9.10, with Gnome.
[00:45] <JayCool> rainbowinfinity,  you can try googleing it and seeing if theres a guide
[00:46] <JayCool> rainbowinfinity,  I dont have one of hose or i'd help
[00:46] <unlofl> rainbowinfinity: are you sure you need those drivers?
[00:46] <unlofl> rainbowinfinity: you probably want something like the gimpprint driver which includes support for a bunch of different printers
[00:47] <JayCool> _Tristan,  try making another (user)account on your machine
[00:47] <rainbowinfinity> it keeps telling me that i need SANE or
[00:48] <rainbowinfinity> all the drivers i've tried already don't work..can't print test page
[00:48] <jolaren> How do I turn off auto updates on my server? my root partition is full and I don't know how to solve it.. I dont have a usb unit or a cd rom reader
[00:50] <mkanyicy> jolaren, this is probably not a good suggestion but, you can comment out the entries of /etc/apt/sources.list
[00:50] <_Tristan> JayCool: ok
[00:50] <melanie> HOLA
[00:51] <_Tristan> JayCool: gksudo has similar results, though.
[00:51] <vi390> hi, has someone experience with multutouchscreens and ubuntu? maybe even with the ACER T230H ?
[00:51] <vi390> is the multitouch working?
[00:51] <IdleOne> rainbowinfinity: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8574002&postcount=2
[00:51] <JayCool> _Tristan, ohh then that won't work very well :(
[00:52] <_Tristan> :(
[00:52] <_Tristan> JayCool: happen to know of a way to track the files that a program is using?
[00:52] <_Tristan> because if I knew where it was looking for murrine, I'd know where to put it/
[00:52] <SaEeD> how can i kill Xorg processes? when i try to kill gnome or xorg processes using "kill -9 PID" it goes to gdm and i have to press Ctrl+alt+F2 to go back to terminal
[00:53] <SaEeD> is there anyway that i can kill all X processes and drop to shell ?
[00:53] <functionofxy> is anyone willing and able to help with the installation of the latest ati drivers?
[00:54] <blakkheim> don't buy from ati - enemy of your freedom
[00:54] <mkanyicy> SaEeD, you can go to single user mode by 'sudo init 1'
[00:54] <JayCool> _Tristan,  you can open Synaptic and type Murina and right click on the package select properties and look for "File List" or somthin
[00:54] <coz_> MFen,  so anything change?
[00:54] <meganerd> blakkheim: they have done better than nvidia as of late
[00:54] <mkanyicy> blakkheim, that is not true
[00:54] <rww> blakkheim: ATI has free drivers that work fine.
[00:54] <blakkheim> lol
[00:54] <functionofxy> blakkheim, i understand your opposition, but I need to install them nonetheless
[00:55] <SaEeD> mkanyicy: thankx alot, how can i got back to gdm afterwards?
[00:55] <meganerd> SaEeD: ctl+alt+F1
[00:55] <MrApple> hey, is there anyone down for trying to gain root status on a linux based kernal?
[00:55] <functionofxy> i'm trying to install the latest fglrx 10.1
[00:55] <meganerd> SaEeD: log in as usual "sudo service gdm stop"
[00:55] <mkanyicy> SaEeD, CTRL+D
[00:55] <jamie> Anybody having trouble with boxee shutting off visual effects?
[00:55] <MFen> coz_: nope. it still doen't start up when gnome starts
[00:56] <coz_> MFen,  ok   in terminal    lspci | grep -i vga
[00:56] <MFen> oh, and effects is now set to None!
[00:56] <JayCool> _Tristan,  you can open Synaptic and type Murina and right click on the package select properties and look for "File List"
[00:56] <mkanyicy> SaEeD, remember that a single user mode is what is so-called 'recovery mode' you dont want to make that your daily habit
[00:56] <meganerd> functionofxy: what ATI card do you have?
[00:56] <functionofxy> hd radeon 4830
[00:56] <proton23> I'm having trouble to quit irc
[00:56] <SaEeD> mkanyicy: okay, thank you very much :)
[00:56] <JayCool> Alot of ATI cards dont work right be warned!
[00:56] <proton23> somebody with the same empathy problem?
[00:57] <mkanyicy> SaEeD, for everyday needs, you just do what meganerd told you
[00:57] <functionofxy> meganerd, i've got the latest .run file, but it won't generate .deb
[00:57] <JayCool> you can install pidgen
[00:57] <MFen> coz_: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT200 [GeForce GTX 260M] (rev a2)
[00:57] <meganerd> functionofxy: use "sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd"
[00:57] <_Tristan> JayCool: I mean can I see what files a process is accessing?
[00:57] <linxeh> JayCool: or pidgin
[00:57] <MrApple>  hey, is there anyone down for trying to gain root status on a linux based kernal?
[00:57] <meganerd> functionofxy: you should use the radeonhd driver over the fglrx one
[00:57] <coz_> MFen,  ok  go to system/administration/hardware drivers
[00:57] <mkanyicy> i cannot install pidgin JayCool
[00:57] <proton23> JayCool: Thats why I ask
[00:57] <coz_> MFen,  see if any driver is enabled for that card
[00:57] <functionofxy> meganerd, aren't those old/not fully functional?
[00:57] <proton23> maybe its not a empathy problem
[00:58] <dorkface> Hi all.  Is there a way to keep track of friends in steam (notifications of when they log in and log off) in ubuntu without actually installing steam?  I've already tried to install steam, but so far have not had any sucess.
[00:58] <functionofxy> I was under the impression that the fglrx 10.1 from ati is the top of the line
[00:58] <MFen> coz_: yes, it's enabled
[00:58] <coz_> MFen,   and  in terminal   run compiz &  and pastebin the out put
[00:58] <functionofxy> meganerd, especially for a dual-head 1080 setup
[00:58] <mkanyicy> dorkface, i'ven't heard of ghost-steam
[00:59] <meganerd> functionofxy: other way around, radeonhd is the new driver that ATI hired Novel to write, full 3d support on HD devices.  It does not however work for older cards, only the new ones
[00:59] <meganerd> functionofxy: I cannot speak to dual head support, I only do that with Intel based devices these days
[00:59] <functionofxy> meganerd, fantastic! thanks for the advice. i'll be back in a few minutes to let you know how it goes
[01:00] <JayCool> mkanyicy,  you need to enable community repos to get pidgin installed, find sources i preferences and enable all but source
[01:00] <ryanprior> I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) on my laptop. The install went great, and it boots up fine, but when I log in every character of text is displayed as a box. I already tried re-installing, but that didn't fix it. In the LiveCD system, the text looks fine. Any ideas why it doesn't render right in an installed system?
[01:00] <mkanyicy> i have pidgin, i was sacarstic
[01:00] <rww> JayCool: no, you don't. Pidgin is in main.
[01:00] <mkanyicy> JayCool, I have pidgin, i was sacarstic
[01:00] <MrApple>  hey, is there anyone down for trying to gain root status on a linux based kernal?
[01:00] <JayCool> oh nice hahah
[01:01] <JayCool> then whats wrong sister ?
[01:01] <mkanyicy> LOL
[01:01] <mkanyicy> !hi | Harmf
[01:02] <JayCool> _Tristan,  Selecting Properties on a package list all it's files it accesses most likely
[01:02] <ikonia> MrApple: what is your problem ?
[01:02] <JayCool> _Tristan,  You should be able to find what it uses as described
[01:02] <rww> mkanyicy: Please stop using !hi on random people joining the channel.
[01:03] <JayCool> !hi
[01:03] <mkanyicy> !hi | rww
[01:03] <ikonia> mkanyicy: stop now please
[01:03] <Garak> I just installed ubuntu for the first time, I must say its the first time in a while that a linux distro has impressed me
[01:03] <ikonia> mkanyicy: please use the bot sensibly not to spam people or cause noise in the channel
[01:03] <_Tristan> JayCool: I can only see files it has open, not what its tried to open. Hoping to find "/where/its/looking/for/murrine.so" so that I can move the file to that place
[01:03] <mkanyicy> ikonia, i heard you
[01:04] <ikonia> mkanyicy: great - so next time when rww asks, don't be smart and send him a !hi response
[01:04] <mkanyicy> ikonia, are you bored?
[01:04] <ikonia> no
[01:04] <mkanyicy> ikonia, good
[01:04] <JayCool> _Tristan, I Think you can Right Click on the Murina Package and look for the path of its Murnia.so file
[01:05] <CarlFK> once you have installed, is there a way to go back and encrypt the whole thing? (both / and /home)
[01:05] <_Tristan> JayCool: I know where it is, I just need to know where it needs to be
[01:05] <_Tristan> because gtk can't find it
[01:05] <_Tristan> so I need to know where gtk is looking
[01:06] <JayCool> Maybe look for GTKs Config file
[01:06]  * dinis van sendo hora de ir para a cama!

[01:36] <Kage> What are peoples opinion of ubuntu changing its default search Engine to Yahoo....  Personally I don't see much that Yahoo does for open source, compared to google....  And this in many ways is stabbing Firefox/Mozilla in the back.            Plus, I think the majority of linux users use google anyways.

[01:41] <malnek> jrib, thanks :)
[01:41] <arghh2d2> jolaren: i recomend puppy.
[01:42] <pythoneus> Hey guys.  I'm having trouble finding my wired connection on the laptop I just put ubuntu on.  Any ideas why that might be?
[01:42] <Quirkly> hello
[01:42] <skay> hi, I want to have an encrypted partition running ubuntu on my macbookpro, and I'm not sure where to start. if I do a search for ubuntu disk encryption I don't get docs for karmic koala
[01:42] <pythoneus> It's running off of some random person's wireless connection at the moment...
[01:42] <wish^> sudo this sudo that
[01:42] <Quirkly> I need some printer help, with xubuntu specifically, just need to know a command to get access to my shared printer on a windows machine on the network
[01:42] <wish^> its vista asking permission to perform an operation all over again
[01:42] <Zer> Right... but I don't have Windows on it, so installing from hard drive is a nonstarter
[01:43] <wish^> sudo instead of root is the worse they could have done
[01:43] <wish^> they fucked it over
[01:43] <Seeker`> wish^: watch your language
[01:44] <james_> Which Java do i install for firefox
[01:44] <Zer> You can get into a root account
[01:44] <Zer> sudo su before you startx
[01:44] <james_> in update manager
[01:44] <wish^> Seeker` : yea sorry
[01:44] <wish^> just pissed off thats all
[01:44] <arghh2d2> james_: the open source java has come a long way
[01:44] <arghh2d2> try it
[01:44] <james_> let me rephrase
[01:45] <pythoneus> If I installed 32bit 9.04 on a 64bit laptop (which is working almost fine), should I see the 32bit repositories and all that jazz?
[01:45] <jolaren> arghh2d2; :( I dont have any other cds to burn things to so I have to use DSL :(
[01:45] <james_> which java do i select in update manager
[01:45] <james_> ?
[01:45] <james_> i wanna play games on yahoo
[01:45] <arghh2d2> jolaren: it might use cfdisk or something, google it?
[01:46] <james_> anybody?
[01:47] <jolaren> Anyone know how to extend a partition to annother one using fdisk?
[01:47] <jolaren> or cfdisK+
[01:47] <ezrafree> hello
[01:47] <arghh2d2> james_: jolaren dont be afraid to try google too, some stuff is beyond what anyone wants to type at you in irc
[01:48] <jolaren> arghh2d2; yer im usin both
[01:48] <ezrafree> does anyone know if it's possible to enable the sound ports on the front of my Asus "Performance One" case?
[01:48] <phong_> hi i have question:   is it neccessary to creat  partition for  /  and for /home  seperate partition?
[01:49] <phong_> when i do manual installation i create swap area then  /  then /home
[01:49] <phong_> my qestion is is it neccessary for /  and /home?
[01:49] <Zer> No, you can make them the same partition if you want
[01:49] <phong_> ok let say i have a hd of 100GB    i manually partitiion is to be   2GB for Swap Area.......  next what should i do?
[01:50] <Zer> Make the rest of it /
[01:50] <phong_> oh
[01:50] <phong_> how about   /home
[01:50] <phong_> no need to?
[01:50] <Zer> You don't need it
[01:50] <Zer> though
[01:50] <phong_> oh shlt
[01:50] <Zer> if you want, one thing you could do
[01:50] <Zer> You can if you want
[01:50] <Zer> but
[01:50] <FloodBot2> Zer: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:50] <Zer> one thing that might be nice, create the / as a LVM partition, leave about 4GB free
[01:50] <phong_> why some website teach me to do  it  with  /  and then another partition with /home
[01:51] <Zer> That way you can do a snapshot in case you break something accidentally
[01:51] <_Tristan> it\ns simple\n really\n
[01:51] <Zer> phong_: If you want to make them separate you can. It doesn't matter
[01:51] <Seeker`> phong_: watch your language pelase
[01:51] <ezrafree> phong_: many people prefer to make /home on it's own partition so it doesn't fill up the hard drive and cause the system to slow down
[01:51] <phong_> ezrafree is that the advantage ?
[01:51] <Zer> ezrafree: Since when did hard drives get appreciably slower when they were full? :)
[01:51] <ezrafree> phong_: as far as i know that's why some folks recommend it, yes
[01:52] <Huston> hey is there a way to boost my wireless adapter range? i know i can do it in windows, but never tried to do it in ubuntu
[01:52] <ogen> this is an ubuntu support channel. Amazing. I was only going to chat with my friends. I am MEGA disappointed with Ubuntu. RIGHT NOW >> I cant play dvd's. 1. I installed non-free from the documentation page. 2. I installed VLC 3. I followed the directions (lots of functions, hundreds?) as recommended by the Old Grey Wolf on Ubuntuforums. --- PARDON ME. NOW IT PLAYS. (In VLC)
[01:52] <arghh2d2> Zer: since / needs to write cache and logs
[01:52] <ezrafree> Zer: i meant the users who have access to /home (who may not be admins) could fill up hdd space the admins prefer to use for the system
[01:52] <ezrafree> arghh2d2: heh, exactly, that too
[01:52] <phong_> how come when i go to my computer  i only see FileSystem ?
[01:52] <phong_> only 1 HD
[01:52] <speedxxxcore> Huston: you can build a cantenna
[01:52] <ogen> oops now mplayer wont close. I need to do something about this.
[01:52] <Zer> arghh2d2: If it's partitions, they're on the same HD either way, so whether it's logging or not it's the same thing
[01:53] <arghh2d2> if your / get's full it will fail
[01:53] <phong_> i thought i made it  2GB swap and /home
[01:53] <Zer> ezrafree: That's true
[01:53] <phong_> i only see Filesystem
[01:53] <ezrafree> Zer: yes but only the partition they have access to can they fill up
[01:53] <hero1900> hi guys any way to open and edit visio files?
[01:53] <Zer> Yeah, if you have some other user who'll fill up your hard drive it might be useful
[01:53] <ezrafree> the partition for / they won't have write access to so they cannot fill up, saving that filespace for log files and system files
[01:53] <Huston> speedxxxcore: cantenna?
[01:53] <arghh2d2> Zer: if your /home partition filles up but your / partition still has a gig to play with you'r good...its not rocket science
[01:53] <ogen> re cantenna, umm, you can use the ancient Asian Cooking Utensil school of antenna amplification. I've used a big metal bowl (details at 11) and it worked well.
[01:53] <phong_> answer please:   why i only see  Filesystem,  why not  my other partition?
[01:54] <arghh2d2> Zer: it's useful and your critiques are ignorant, case closed
[01:54] <ezrafree> phong_: did you look in /home ?
[01:54] <ogen> Huston re cantenna, umm, you can use the ancient Asian Cooking Utensil school of antenna amplification. I've used a big metal bowl (details at 11) and it worked well.
[01:54] <phong_> it's a folder
[01:54] <ezrafree> phong_: try browsing or cd'ing to the /home directory
[01:54] <phong_> that's not partition
[01:54] <ezrafree> phong_: then it is in fact there
[01:54] <crdlb> phong_: swap is used as memory, and Computer doesn't show partions separately afaik
[01:54] <ezrafree> phong_: partitions are mounted as folders
[01:54] <Zer> arghh2d2: He's talking about speed, what you are saying has nothing to do with that...
[01:55] <phong_> ez: i see
[01:55] <speedxxxcore> Huston: it's the process of converting a pringles can into an antenna, there is guides online
[01:55] <ogen> when I click on PLACES I can see the partitions
[01:55] <phong_> does x64 run faster than 32 bits?
[01:55] <phong_> i can see mine is  6GB when i do free
[01:55] <Huston> i have a wireless n adapter. i don't need an external adapter. i need to boost the amount of power going to it.
[01:55] <ogen> Huston a cantenna is more difficult and more expensive than the Asian Cooking Method (google that, you can)
[01:56] <Zer> phong_: Yeah generally. Takes up more RAM though
[01:56] <phong_> i have GTX 285 i love it
[01:56] <phong_> will linux do SLi ?
[01:56] <ogen> Huston heres googles first find <asian cooking antenna wifi> http://www.instructables.com/id/Wifi-Signal-Strainer-WokFi/
[01:56] <phong_> i have 2 of them
[01:57] <Huston> lol that doesn't help me when i'm at my college.
[01:57] <phong_> is there a visual c++ for linux?
[01:57] <phong_> i dong like g++
[01:57] <phong_> any visual appearence for coding?
[01:58] <_Tristan> has anybody found a better code editor than gedit?
[01:58] <ardchoille> phong_: you might try eclipse
[01:58] <phong_> is it free?
[01:58] <ardchoille> yes
[01:58] <ogen> Huston you mean the amount of signal going to it. It matters not whether it is N or not. Asian cooking does not need an external wireless. Go make a cantenna then. Or just buy a better antenna.
[01:58] <Huston> noit to mention it is a internal wireless adapter
[01:58] <ardchoille> phong_: sudo apt-get install eclipse
[01:58] <phong_> ok let me do that
[01:58] <ardchoille> !info eclipse
[01:58] <ogen> Huston, cant do anything about internal wireless adaptors. You are barking at a tree with no cats.
[01:58] <ardchoille> phong_: You need to have the universe repo enabled
[01:58] <phong_> it's installing ardch
[01:59] <Huston> ah ok
[01:59] <phong_> wha is that?
[01:59] <ardchoille> phong_: :)
[01:59] <Huston> well thanks anyways
[01:59] <ardchoille> phong_: never mind, you have it
[01:59] <ogen> Best huston
[01:59] <phong_> oh i found some good them for linux
[01:59] <phong_> i forgot where it is
[01:59] <phong_> any one suggest ?
[01:59] <hero1900> can i open visio file in any program in ubuntu?
[01:59] <ardchoille> phong_: themes?
[01:59] <ogen> How do I close MPlayer (useing terminal) ?
[02:00] <ardchoille> og01: ctrl+c  ?
[02:00] <phong_> it make ubuntu good looking
[02:00] <ardchoille> !themes | phong_
[02:00] <phong_> just like the xubuntu
[02:00] <phong_> or kubuntu
[02:00] <ogen> phong lmglfy http://www.google.com/search?aq=f&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=themes+ubuntu
[02:00] <gleaken> having audio problems, when I open up the drivers program, jockey-gtk does not show any devices to disable
[02:00] <gleaken> sound does not work at all
[02:01] <phong_> yes thanks
[02:01] <phong_> that is what i'm talking about
[02:01] <phong_> nice looking thing
[02:01] <ogen> HOW DO I CLOSE MPLAYER ? (USING TERMINAL PERHAPS?)
[02:01] <ogen> IT'S STUCK.
[02:01] <ogen> OPEN.
[02:01] <arand> ogen: mind the caps
[02:01] <phong_> is it free theme?
[02:02] <phong_> and how to install it
[02:02] <ardchoille> phong_: I wrote some themes, you can find them here:   http://sites.google.com/site/ardchoille42/my-themes
[02:02] <ogen> Arand I thought maybe 3rd time is the charm.
[02:02] <arand> ogen: "killall mplayer might do it"
[02:02] <ardchoille> [18:00] <ardchoille> og01: ctrl+c  ?
[02:02] <ardchoille> ogen: ctrl+c  ?
[02:02] <ogen> arand no process found (and yet there are two windows on my desktop
[02:03] <MMKK> ogen: "ps aux | grep mplayer"
[02:03] <ardchoille> og01: sorry, nick complete bit me
[02:03] <ogen> control-c dos not work
[02:03] <MMKK> then "kill -9 <number of process ID"
[02:03] <arand> ogen: use "ps -A | grep mplay" to see what the processes are caled
[02:03] <ogen> there is a way to get a prcess number right MMKK how do I get it
[02:04] <zchef2k> ect.org
[02:04] <MMKK> you get the process number by running "ps aux" which lists all processes and then piping it through grep to look for the process you want
[02:04] <MMKK> for example
[02:04] <MMKK> "ps aux | grep mplayer"
[02:04] <MMKK> without the quotes, of course
[02:04] <ardchoille> ogen: ps -A | grep mplayer   <-- will give process number
[02:05] <coz_> ardchoille,  mm not here it doesnt
[02:05] <ogen> ogen bows out and says thank you to MMKK and to arand
[02:05] <sje46> hey, I'm trying to use the update manager, but it won't let me because "W: Failed to fetch http://repository.cairo-dock.org/ubuntu/dists/karmic/Release.gpg  Could not resolve 'repository.cairo-dock.org'"
[02:05] <ardchoille> coz_: does here, I wonder what's different
[02:05] <coz_> ps aux | grep mplayer does however
[02:05] <coz_> ardchoille,  not sure
[02:05] <ardchoille> coz uppercase A  ?
[02:05] <arand> ogen: glad to help
[02:05] <ogen> I got the process number from arand and then killed it with -9
[02:05] <coz_> ardchoille,  yep upper case A
[02:05] <ardchoille> weird
[02:06] <coz_> ardchoille,  let me screenshot terminal for you

[02:09] <coz_> ardchoille,  yep with mplayer running you were correct...I should have payed attention to the whole conversation :)
[02:10] <toastedmilk> anybody know how to install a splash screen with the extention .so?
[02:10] <ardchoille> coz_: Ah, ok
[02:10] <toastedmilk> extension*
[02:10] <ardchoille> toastedmilk: sounds like a lib, not a splash screen
[02:10] <toastedmilk> ardchoille, doesn't usplash support .so?
[02:11] <ardchoille> toastedmilk: oh, you meant usplash, sorry
[02:11] <sje46> so the update manager isn't working for me...
[02:11] <toastedmilk> ardchoille, my bad, i should've specified.  got any idea how to get it working?
[02:12] <Boogerhead> Hello! Just sorta kinda got running sort of on a PPC. Any idea why I get booted only with vga=ask, even if it never asks? How do I fix it permanently in grub2? (I was getting lots of flashing colors)
[02:12] <ardchoille> toastedmilk: No, I don't spend enough time at that screen to warrant chaning it
[02:12] <ardchoille> *changing
[02:12] <MMKK> is there a program or package that will help me tax my processor (like Prime95 for Windows) so I can do some stress-testing?
[02:12] <Pici> MMKK: cpuburn perhaps
[02:12] <toastedmilk> ardchoille, alright, it's off to the google planet i go
[02:13] <coz_> MMKK,  mm  there is a suit of bencmarking tools
[02:13] <MMKK> Pici: thank you
[02:13] <functionofxy> meganerd, i'm back
[02:13] <coz_> MMKK,  they are a bit of a pain to get up and running
[02:13] <kurou> MMKK: Try HardInfo
[02:13] <MMKK> coz_: I'm not looking for pain.. thx
[02:14] <MMKK> :)
[02:14] <ardchoille> toastedmilk: I seem to remember a usplash tutorialor two on ubuntu forums
[02:14] <coz_> MMKK,  if you are game for some hard stuff     http://www.phoronix-test-suite.com/
[02:14] <kurou> http://hardinfo.berlios.de/HomePage
[02:14] <Boogerhead> How can I set permanent boot-time options?
[02:15] <functionofxy> radeonhd is very slow when it comes to compiz
[02:15] <toastedmilk> ardchoille, *checks*
[02:15] <coz_> MMKK,  there is also this  but I dont know how hold it is   http://lbs.sourceforge.net/
[02:15] <toastedmilk> functionofxy, radeon period is slow when it comes to compiz

[02:16] <functionofxy> toastedmilk, i'm moved from fglrx to radeonhd and notice a drastic decline in performance
[02:16] <coz_> MMKK,    http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=103
[02:16] <ezrafree> does anyone know if it's possible to enable the sound ports on the front of my ntecs "Performance One" case?

[02:17] <macosxtiger> will someone please help me with gtkvncviewer?
[02:18] <wish^> macosxtiger?
[02:18] <macosxtiger> yes
[02:18] <wish^> what is your problem with it?
[02:19] <macosxtiger> i have it setup so i can connect to  my dads pornbox using windows right now i connect using the 192.168. address but from my laptop i cannot connect when i am not on the newwork
[02:19] <macosxtiger> for instance anywhere else
[02:19] <randy> firefox in my awn ?
[02:19] <randy> how do you do that
[02:19] <kurou> macosxtiger: you will need something like hamachi.
[02:19] <paissad> i would like to copy a dir to a destination, the dest dir must be exactly as the same as the source dir, that's why i used --delete option, but there is a dir in $destination i don't want to remove, which is backup dir ..... here is what i did to in order to test, but the matter is that this command does delete the backup dir i excluded ( --exclude ) http://pastebin.com/d3a153a01
[02:19] <functionofxy> toastedmilk, am I going to be able to fix this? if not, I'll just go back to fglrx. meganerd told me that radeonhd would be better...
[02:19] <Guest24515> how do you put firefox in your awn
[02:19] <wish^> macosxtiger: you cant connect using a local ip from outside the network
[02:20] <Guest24515> it will not click and drag like i am use to
[02:20] <macosxtiger> no i know but when i type the real modem IP it wont let me connect
[02:20] <ardchoille> Why is  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/  redirected to a page about Lucid?
[02:20] <wish^> you could use a program like hamachi.. setting up a network between the two computers
[02:20] <Guest24515> nevermind now it worked
[02:21] <macosxtiger> i will try this hamachi
[02:21] <danbhfive> wish^: not for me...
[02:21] <kurou> macosxtiger: is the os your vnc into running linux?
[02:21] <paissad> btw, $backup_dir is into $destination, does this cause problem ?
[02:21] <kurou> you're
[02:21] <kurou> vncing*
[02:23] <wish^> you gotta run hamachi on both computers though
[02:23] <brando753> guys how can i delete a U3 partition
[02:23] <morphix> I have a Logitech Bluetooth keyboard and mouse combo, MX5000 & VX revolution. I wish to use a button on my keyboard to do the compiz "ring" or "shift" switcher but it doesnt register the button i press when i choose the "Grab Key Combination"
[02:23] <morphix> the keyboard has a "Flip 3D" button

[02:25] <macosxtiger> sorry for the speeeling
[02:25] <ezrafree> does anyone know if there's any way to enable the number pad on my logitech MX 5000 keyboard?
[02:25] <kurou> macosxtiger: and install the "Unmanaged" version of this: https://secure.logmein.com/US/products/hamachi2/download.aspx
[02:25] <mkanyicy> !language | macosxtiger
[02:25] <macosxtiger> my bad
[02:26] <kurou> It is not as hard as it looks, promise.
[02:26] <tomtom2> does Ubuntu support paravirtulization?
[02:26] <kurou> Sorry, install the last link on the Vista box.
[02:26] <tomtom2> or is it hardware virtulization only?
[02:26] <tomtom2> ubuntu cloud I mean
[02:26] <ezrafree> i must be asking some pretty tough questions today ;)
[02:27] <ouyes> hei, everybody, i have an idea to make ubuntu more wide-spreaded, since Lucid will be released in April, and it is free and more stable, more available,but a few user compared to Windows 7,i have been using ubuntu(gnome) since 8.04 and i think it is good.so i think i can do something to spread it in my country,(my men like free),so what advice have you guys?
[02:27] <wish^> ezrafree: hit numlock?
[02:27] <macosxtiger> ok thats one thing out of the way is anyone farmiliar with konversation? irc
[02:27] <ardchoille> ezrafree: or thefolks who know your answers aren't at their screens
[02:27] <macosxtiger> i am getting annoyed with this user cam in user has left messages
[02:27] <wish^> what about irc macosztiger
[02:27] <macosxtiger> can find it in the setting to turn it off
[02:27] <ezrafree> wish^: it does not appear that i have a num lock key on this keyboard, for some strange reason
[02:27] <ardchoille> macosxtiger: that's a kde app, you might get better advice in #kubuntu
[02:28] <wish^> ezrafree: mx5000?
[02:28] <gleaken> any one have problems with sound on 9.10?  I updated my kernel and sound stopped working.

[02:28] <ezrafree> wish^: correct
[02:28] <ezrafree> kurou: oh cool thanks
[02:28] <functionofxy> toastedmilk, you there?
[02:28] <ouyes> gleaken,  how to update your kernel?

[02:30] <gleaken> 2.6.31-18-generic
[02:30] <ardchoille> switch10: gkrellm and conky can both do that
[02:30] <gleaken> is there a known issue with the current kernel?
[02:30] <gleaken> is there a defect I can follow?
[02:30] <ouyes> gleaken,  how to update it? what do you do ?
[02:30] <switch10> thanks
[02:30] <KenBW2> gleaken: the old kernel will be in your grub menu if all else fails
[02:30] <blondie> hello?
[02:30] <gleaken> ouyes, apt-get update, apt-get upgrade
[02:30] <htbrdd>  can someone give a new guy some help?
[02:30] <wish^> preferred web browser in ubuntu except firefox?
[02:30] <gleaken> KenBW2, understood

[02:31] <aquachica> Hi. I would like to know if I can upgrade Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04 to 9.10 via a USB?  I have put Netbook Remix 9.10 on a USB, but it keeps asking me if I want to format my partition.
[02:31] <blondie> whats this?
[02:31] <blakkheim> wish^: w3m
[02:31] <htbrdd>  im trying to access a fedora smb share and get permission failures.
[02:31] <ouyes> gleaken,  it just stop in 2.6.31-17-generic
[02:31] <blondie> ohh...is this like a chat room that gives you help with the system?
[02:31] <kurou> aquachica: try sudo aptitude dist-upgrade in a terminal.
[02:31] <gleaken> ouyes, it stopped when I updated to -18
[02:31] <ezrafree> blondie: /topic
[02:32]  * KenBW2 chuckles at the irony of blondie's nick :P
[02:32] <aquachica> I don't want to upgrade over the Internet.  I have had trouble with that in the past.  I wanted to do it straight from the USB.
[02:32] <blondie> hey...if you haven't read my name that should tell you i'm not that smart.
[02:32] <ouyes> gleaken, 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. after the two commands
[02:32] <gleaken> is there something I can help with a defect, is it a known issue?
[02:32] <kurou> aquachica: I'm not the best at that, so I don't want to tell you the wrong thing. Sorry.
[02:33] <wish^> blondie dont worry
[02:33] <KenBW2> gleaken: "known issue" is usually hardware-specific
[02:33] <blondie> thanks wish^
[02:33] <gleaken> Son of a Sea Cook
[02:33] <dragon> How can I make `add-apt-repository` access the Ubuntu keyserver from behind a firewall?
[02:33] <gleaken> I enabled karnic-proposed
[02:33] <gleaken> that may be it
[02:33] <gleaken> hmmmm
[02:33] <aquachica> I am surprised they didn't had the feature to the ISO.
[02:34] <blondie> hey does anyone know how to sync a third generation iPod nano to this system?
[02:34] <htbrdd1> i can permenant mount the share but i still get a permission denied. i need something so i can enter the username and password to access
[02:34] <KenBW2> gleaken: but i usually find Pulseaudio causes a lot of problems
[02:34] <ezrafree> blondie: perhaps gtkpod can do it, i'm not sure though
[02:34] <KenBW2> blondie: Rhythmbox works with some iPods
[02:34] <SectorX4> Anyone know how I can check install logs in 9.10? My install is freezing and I have no idea why
[02:35] <blondie> yea i tried all of that...but there was the password and username thing that i couldn't figure out...
[02:35] <KenBW2> blondie: you type your password in when it asks for it
[02:36] <kurou> blondie: http://www.gtkpod.org/
[02:36] <blondie> KenBW2: what password though?
[02:36] <KenBW2> blondie: the one you log into Ubuntu with
[02:36] <ardchoille> !sudo | blondie this will help you understand sudo
[02:37] <blondie> KenBW2: whats Ubuntu? thank you guys
[02:37] <yy> s

[02:37] <SectorX4> Can anyone help me try and narrow down what's causing these issues with 9.10 server edition?
[02:37] <ezrafree> macosxtiger: language!
[02:37] <ardchoille> !lucid | macosxtiger
[02:37] <KenBW2> blondie: eh?
[02:38] <macosxtiger> ok my bad i wont swear
[02:38] <ezrafree> KenBW2: if i didn't know any better i'd swear blondie is just flaming us :)
[02:38] <macosxtiger> i am using beta of lucid
[02:38] <Oddtod> heya guys
[02:38] <macosxtiger> anything for 9.1
[02:38] <macosxtiger> ?
[02:38] <blondie> i don't know....i am 15 and tring to figure all of this stuff out on my own and its hard not having anyone to help me
[02:38] <KenBW2> ezrafree: yea i can feel some trolling going on
[02:38] <ardchoille> macosxtiger: lucid or 9.10?
[02:38] <htbrdd1> anybody help with samba shares
[02:38] <poi77> Hi! Is there an easy way to change the installation path of make install
[02:38] <Oddtod> heya guys i'm currently running ubuntu netbook remix and i'd like to move to standard gnome interface is there any quick way to remove this netbook remix gui?
[02:38] <ezrafree> blondie: do you have ubuntu installed on your computer right now?
[02:38] <blondie> and i'm not trying to flame anyone...i just wanted to know what this is
[02:38] <macosxtiger> i am using lucid
[02:38] <blondie> NO i don't
[02:39] <Quirkly> anyone available to help me with a printer issue....should be a simple fix, I'm just, yeah, lacking a program or something methinks
[02:39] <ardchoille> macosxtiger: then you need to be in #ubuntu+1
[02:39] <ezrafree> blondie: ubuntu is a distribution of linux (that is, a type of linux)
[02:39] <SectorX4> If anyone able to help me fix this install issue on 9.10? Seems to be freezing after hardware detection
[02:39] <KenBW2> blondie: www.ubuntu.com
[02:39] <blondie> ezrafree: what's linux?
[02:39] <macosxtiger> it was really cool talking with you guys and thanks for the help see you all later
[02:39] <Quirkly> !
[02:39] <Quirkly> lol
[02:39] <gleaken> KenBW2, ouyes, I will try the -update kernel and see what happens
[02:39] <gleaken> thanks for the time
[02:39] <dragon> !linux | blondie
[02:40] <ardchoille> blondie: You can't be serious
[02:40] <KenBW2> gleaken: i remove pulseaudio, its too buggy
[02:40] <ezrafree> blondie: linux is an operating system, just like Windows and MacOS
[02:40] <boxfish> What's a computer then ?
[02:40] <boxfish> :-)
[02:40] <Quirkly> I have not laughed so hard in a long time
[02:40] <blondie> are all you guys freaking smart genuises or sumthing?
[02:40] <macosxtiger> whats a keyboard
[02:40] <blakkheim> ezrafree: linux is not an operating system
[02:40] <kurou>  blondie: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux
[02:40] <dragon> Can't everyone just calm down?
[02:40] <KenBW2> blakkheim: matter of debate
[02:40] <blakkheim> KenBW2: no, it's not. linux is a kernel. gnu/linux is an operating system.
[02:40] <blondie> thank ya'll i think i will try out everything ya'll have told me.
[02:40] <_Tristan> the troll seems to be casting frost shock.
[02:40] <esspiro> Hi all, in hopes of getting 3D acceleration working on my GMA950 MacBook, I followed a forum post and created an xorg.conf file containing "DefaultDepth 16". Now when I boot, graphics are all over the place and I can't read anything. I have auto-login enabled; how can I get myself a terminal to delete the file?
[02:41] <dragon> ezrafree: Linux is nowhere like Windows or MacOS.
[02:41] <ezrafree> the term "linux" is often used to refer to "gnu/linux" so let's not get too technical on the semantics folks :)
[02:41] <ardchoille> !ot
[02:41] <KenBW2> blakkheim: the matter is debated, therefore its debatable
[02:41] <dragon> How can I make `add-apt-repository` access the Ubuntu keyserver from behind a firewall?
[02:41] <kurou> Ubuntu is base
[02:41] <Quirkly> so umm, anyone good with networked printers? and xubuntu?
[02:41] <dragon> Does Ubuntu keyserver have an HTTP implementation?
[02:41] <kurou> Whoops, sorry.
[02:41] <iKay> hi all. i have a friend with a dedicated server running ubuntu 8.04 lts. Recently the server has been restarting randomly and I have verified it's not a problem with power. any idea where i can start to look for clues?
[02:41] <kc8cua>  /z
[02:41] <blondie> whoops i'm lost
[02:41] <kurou> Pressed enter too early.
[02:41] <kc8cua>  /z
[02:41] <kc8cua> asd;
[02:41] <kc8cua> ];e
[02:41] <FloodBot2> kc8cua: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:41] <ezrafree> dragon: i never claimed that linux was similar to macos or windows, i said it is also an operating system
[02:42] <SectorX4> iKay RAM
[02:42] <Garak> esspiro: try ctrl-alt-f1
[02:42] <ezrafree> iKay: /var/log/dmesg
[02:42] <iKay> @SectorX4: Would there be a log file that I could check to confirm that?
[02:42] <blondie> BYE!
[02:42] <dragon> ezrafree: take a moment to read what you wrote.
[02:42] <iKay> i will take a look at that ezrafree, iirc though dmesg doesn't have any clues
[02:42] <SectorX4> iKay You can boot from a 9.10 CD and run memory check
[02:42] <esspiro> Garak: thanks. I'll also tri a liveCD
[02:42] <iKay> the server is in a datacenter. so i can't do more than ssh
[02:42] <Garak> esspiro: or what ever the mac keyboard equlavant to that is
[02:43] <SectorX4> Ah
[02:43] <iKay> is there any way i can check the ram with the os running?
[02:43] <Garak> esspiro: it should give you a text console login
[02:43] <SectorX4> iKay You don't have remote hands?
[02:43] <ezrafree> golddragon24: take a moment to think about what i typed without taking it so literally, and considering it within the context of the conversation. i'm done talking about that now since it's off topic.
[02:43] <iKay> crumby host. all over automated.
[02:43] <iKay> cheap though.
[02:43] <SectorX4> or IP KVM?
[02:43] <phong_> are the any better looking them for ubuntu?
[02:43] <ezrafree> sorry, not golddragon24, dragon
[02:43] <phong_> those that provided by ubuntu is sux
[02:44] <ezrafree> phong_: there are many themes, which window manager are you running? gnome? compiz?
[02:44] <ardchoille> phong_: most themes at www.gnome-look.org will work fine
[02:44] <Nooneshere> How do you make a theme?
[02:44] <phong_> compiz
[02:44] <SectorX4> Does anyone know what would be causing a Ubuntu 9.10 install to freeze during hardware detection on an IBM X225 server?
[02:44] <phong_> i have GTX 285 rules man
[02:45] <phong_> i have 2 GTX 285 SLi
[02:45] <ezrafree> phong_: then as mentioned the themes are gnome-look.org should work, as well as try installing Emerald
[02:45] <toastedmilk> functionofxy, it depends on what graphical programs you're using
[02:45] <ardchoille> Nooneshere:  http://live.gnome.org/GnomeArt/Tutorials
[02:45] <sje46> do you only have to wipe a file once for it to be unrecoverable?
[02:45] <mkanyicy> phong_, Nooneshere , check themes at gnome-look.org
[02:45] <toastedmilk> functionofxy, some programs support fglrx, some support the open source radeon driver
[02:45] <Nooneshere> Ardchiolle thank you very much.
[02:45] <blakkheim> sje46: dban the drive
[02:45] <ezrafree> sje46: no i believe 7 times is the least until it's unrecoverable
[02:45] <Dimoutlook> Are there any problems running Img-Burn in wine
[02:46] <mezquitale> anyone knows of an sftp client for windows mobile?
[02:46] <toastedmilk> functionofxy, my radeon is on the legacy list, so ati won't be supporting it.  therefore I use the radeon driver
[02:46] <ardchoille> Nooneshere: many people find it easiest to just edit an existing theme, though
[02:46] <sje46> blakkheim, what's that?  And I'm not looking for advice.
[02:46] <Some_Person> Is it possible to get java working in epiphany
[02:46] <mkanyicy> Dimoutlook, try #winehq
[02:46] <ezrafree> mezquitale: perhaps try asking in #windows
[02:46] <blakkheim> sje46: dban is a tool for securely erasing the contents of a hard drive
[02:46] <KenBW2> Dimoutlook: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=4625
[02:46] <sje46> ezrafree, someone on reddit says that once is all you need, because it wipes it at the bit level
[02:46] <mezquitale> Dimoutlook, that sounds like a generic question that will get a better answer in the forums or google
[02:46] <Nooneshere> Ardchoille i just want to make some minor image and code edits. I assume i need to learn minor gtk correct?
[02:46] <ardchoille> !google | mezquitale
[02:47] <mezquitale> ezrafree, i dont think i want to explain ssh and sftp to windows users
[02:47] <ezrafree> sje46: i am only conveying what i've heard, i do not know for sure
[02:47] <ardchoille> Nooneshere: that would help
[02:47] <functionofxy> toastedmilk, I have an HD 48030 (R770 series). The big difference (i.e. decrease in performance) seems to be in window manager/compiz
[02:47] <mezquitale> ardchoille, he uses wine so most likely he's not a new user
[02:47] <functionofxy> video is the same as before
[02:47] <Nooneshere> Ardchoille thank you very much :)
[02:47] <mkanyicy> mezquitale, this is not a windows channel
[02:47] <ezrafree> mezquitale: hehe, the ones here on freenode aren't quite _that_ inept :)
[02:47] <sje46> ezrafree, http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/awpv2/in_response_to_the_craziest_fact_post_what/c0jszk3
[02:47] <functionofxy> some 3D application perform better, some worse.
[02:47] <phong_> i loev the shaking windows looks
[02:47] <phong_> love8
[02:47] <Dimoutlook> mkanyicy thanks I have it running just wondered if it makes as many coasters as the regular stuff
[02:47] <kurou> Reddit is awesome.... sorry for being off-topic.
[02:47] <Dr_Willis> phong_:  it makes my wife seasick
[02:48] <mezquitale> ezrafree, if they use windows mainly for their own computing then that tells you a lot
[02:48] <ezrafree> sje46: myself personally i would probably not trust reddit as a reliable source of information
[02:48] <sje46> ezrafree, I am so facepalming right now
[02:48] <ezrafree> mezquitale: a lot of them don't, they're just in there to help folks out. take my advice or leave it, up to you.
[02:48] <toastedmilk> functionofxy, maybe you need to configure your x under the radeonhd driver?  have you looked at ubuntu's community documentation?  then again, since ati is supporting it's fglrx for the hd series, I would probably use that unless I had a program that specifically didn't have support for it
[02:49] <mezquitale> ezrafree, let me try the windows channel just for kicks though, i'll try the offtopic channel first though
[02:49] <SectorX4> Why would the "Detect network hardware" section of Ubuntu 9.10 install tell me it's found usb-storage hardware and want to load the module
[02:49] <sje46> ezrafree, did you even read the comment?    He linked to another website.  He gave a big explanation.  Just don't dismiss it just because it was a comment on a website.
[02:49] <ezrafree> mezquitale: i'd think you'd have better chances of someone in #windows knowing about ssh/sftp then someone in #ubuntu/#ubuntu-offtopic knowing about windows mobile
[02:50] <sje46> ezrafree, should I dismiss everything said on this channel because "you shouldn't believe anything on IRC"?  Idiotic
[02:50] <LizardK|ng> yes
[02:50] <krysis> interesting o.o
[02:50] <functionofxy> toastedmilk,  i did use the community doc site to install and configure. meganerd told me the exact opposite--that i'd be better off under radeonhd even though i have a newish card
[02:50] <ezrafree> sje46: yesi did read through it, but i'm also not familiar with actionfront.com
[02:50] <sje46> I was asking if his information was true, anyways.
[02:50] <ardchoille> Let's keep it on topic folks, please
[02:50] <Quirkly> so umm, anyone know a lick about accessing windows printer, via xubuntu??
[02:50] <kurou> Ubuntu: 1270 people. Windows: 277. That says something. :D
[02:51] <Dr_Willis> Quirkly:  the cups config tools should let you set it up.
[02:51] <sje46> Something is not inherently false just because of the website...if it has information explaining it, judge it from /that/.  So is it true?
[02:51] <krysis> if anyone has any spare time i would like some help with video drivers intel mobile
[02:51] <mezquitale> ezrafree, apparently you havent been to the offtopic channel often, i've been on both channels though on windows not as often as i'd like but let me go down there and see how many souls I fright
[02:51] <toastedmilk> kurou, for percentage of users of an OS that also use IRC..
[02:51] <Quirkly> well, Dr_Willis I don't seem to be able to access them
[02:51] <phong_> the thems u show me are background images
[02:51] <Quirkly> the tools that is
[02:51] <phong_> oh god, i want a real themes
[02:51] <Quirkly> I can get into a print settings, where I can add a cups server, but the windows machine sure ain't a cups server as far as I know
[02:51] <KenBW2> Quirkly: iirc you can install standard gnome components in xubuntu
[02:51] <ezrafree> phong_: do you have emerald installed?
[02:51] <Dr_Willis> Quirkly:   cups has a web interface on http://<IP_ADDRESS>:631 also i recall
[02:51] <mezquitale> krysis, go ahead and ask the question, all on one line
[02:51] <phong_> no
[02:51] <Dr_Willis> I think its port 631
[02:51] <phong_> what is it
[02:52] <Quirkly> lol, I tried that too, it failed miserable, not sure what I don't have installed
[02:52] <krysis> yes on that cups interface
[02:52] <Rabbitbunny> Is there a button I can flip to turn off automounting of drives for a while? I broke some partitions.
[02:52] <ezrafree> phong_: if it were me, i'd install emerald (a theme manager for compiz)
[02:52] <phong_> but how to get it
[02:52] <phong_> i'm new to linux
[02:52] <toastedmilk> functionofxy, Haha, it's really all a matter of opinion.  What I would suggest is to install and configure both, then run high-end programs through the terminal to compare and contrast output.  Whichever seems to run smoother, go with.
[02:52] <Quirkly> I can only install limited stuff on this machine, it overheats quickly when installing a lot of packages, so gnome stuffs out of question
[02:52] <Dr_Willis> Quirkly:  i dont use xubuntu so no idea what they are lacking. check the apcakge manager for the gnome cups config tool perhaps and install it
[02:52] <Dr_Willis> phong_:  its best to forget about emerald. its a dead project
[02:52] <ezrafree> phong_: installing software on ubuntu is done through "Ubuntu Software Center" located under the Applications menu
[02:52] <SectorX4> Lot of help this channel has been.....
[02:52] <KenBW2> Quirkly: http://<IP_ADDRESS>:631/printers/ seems to work here
[02:53] <ezrafree> Dr_Willis: it's working perfectly over here
[02:53]  * Dr_Willis sends SectorX4 a bill
[02:53] <functionofxy> toastedmilk, thanks. I think I'll switch back to fglrx
[02:53] <krysis> phong what exactly are you looking for? Icons? Windows Themes?
[02:53] <Quirkly> see, I thought I should be pretty damn close, because some smb tool, I forget what, gave me a list, and well it saw the printer, and I can access shared folders on the machine just fine
[02:53] <Quirkly> oh /printers?
[02:53] <Quirkly> I thought maybe I forgot something
[02:53] <krysis> window* not window$
[02:53] <phong_> krysis: windows themes with effects
[02:53] <phong_> krysis: a better windows themes with effects
[02:53] <krysis> the best would definately be a combination of emerald from the repository with compiz enabled, ever try this?
[02:53] <toastedmilk> functionofxy, until something goes wrong ;)
[02:53] <Quirkly> nope no worky on here
[02:53] <phong_> krysis: no i 've never try
[02:53] <ezrafree> krysis: i agree, that's what i'm running here
[02:53] <phong_> krysis: i'm new to linux
[02:53] <Dr_Willis> !emerald
[02:53] <krysis> ok, hold on leme get you the commands
[02:54] <toastedmilk> Anyone know anything about installing splash files with the extension .os with usplash?
[02:54] <KenBW2> Quirkly: the problem is probably how the host PC is set up
[02:54] <functionofxy> toastedmilk, thanks! I'll  try to let you know what happens
[02:54] <phong_> krysis: how to make it work ?
[02:54] <Rabbitbunny> phong_: 'Ubuntu Software Center'. It's noob mode.
[02:54] <phong_> krysis: or where to get it
[02:54] <dell_> Something happen to my ubuntu it keep on going black screen
[02:54] <krysis> oh, do you have compiz enabled?
[02:54] <krysis> ok*
[02:54] <ezrafree> Dr_Willis: i was not aware that it was no longer supported, thank you for the information
[02:54] <Dr_Willis> toastedmilk:  i seem to recall that being phased  out in the next release. :) but thats all i know on the topic.
[02:54] <brando753> guys how can i delete a U3 partition (reformatting and zeroing out does not delete this)
[02:54] <phong_> yes i do have it enabled
[02:54] <Quirkly> well, perhaps....I mean, it's shared, and I can access share folders just fine, but I am missing something, like the pretty add printer button every set of instructions speaks of
[02:54] <toastedmilk> functionofxy, yeah just PM me whenever
[02:54] <phong_> i have GTX 25
[02:54] <phong_> GTX 285
[02:54] <mkanyicy> phong_, check the URL i pasted on your pm
[02:54] <krysis> ok, go to terminal and type in "sudo apt-get install emerald"
[02:54] <ardchoille> Dr_Willis: when Ubuntu has gnome 3.0 by default, compiz is going bye-bye anyway
[02:54] <Dr_Willis> I imagine emerald will also vanish in the next release.
[02:54] <krysis> to install the window themes
[02:54] <dell_> When I try use wireless it keep black screen of death
[02:54] <Rabbitbunny> phong_: Don't click any URL anyone pastes to you in pm
[02:55] <krysis> Do you know how to edit your compiz effects?
[02:55] <toastedmilk> Dr_Willis, you're killin' me smalls.  I'm using jaunty, it should have pretty much been phased out by now.  But I have this awesome splash screen!
[02:55] <Rabbitbunny> mkanyicy: That's a good way to get banned.
[02:55] <Dr_Willis> ardchoille:  ive not heard much good about gnome-3 - but it is still a work in progress. :)
[02:55] <dell_> no error msg or anthing just show plan black screen
[02:55] <mkanyicy> Rabbitbunny, how?
[02:55] <krysis> i love gnome 3! will be amazing when it comes stable, it brings out more usability with desktops
[02:55] <brando753> Krysis: CCSM type compiz in ubuntu software center
[02:55] <phong_> i saw it
[02:55] <krysis> multiple*
[02:55] <ezrafree> phong_: yes never get help in PM with linux, someone could potentially make you do something bad and noone else will see it to warn you that it's a bad idea
[02:55] <krysis> or you can use the simple compiz editor
[02:55] <phong_> i see
[02:55] <Dr_Willis> toastedmilk:  you copy it to the right place is all i seem to recall on installing them. The gnome-look site may have some info ion how to install them
[02:56] <toastedmilk> krysis, System -> Preferences -> CompizConfig
[02:56] <phong_> krysis can u just tell me the good them now
[02:56] <krysis> phong, have you installed emerald?
[02:56] <phong_> i want to download one
[02:56] <phong_> no
[02:56] <phong_> i dont know how
[02:56] <FloodBot2> phong_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:56] <krysis> ok open a terminal
[02:56] <toastedmilk> krysis, or if you feel like reading through man pages you can use the terminal
[02:56] <dell_> when i've try firefox it keep black screen off death
[02:56] <Quirkly> KenBW2, Dr_Willis basically all I'm trying to do is find the app that lets me add a network printer.....thank you for the input, hopefully maybe google will reveal something to me
[02:56] <phong_> ok i did that
[02:56] <krysis> its easier to copy and paste toasted
[02:56] <ezrafree> phong_: to download emerald, go to APPLICATIONS > UBUNTU SOFTWARE CENTER
[02:56] <phong_> i have terminal open
[02:56] <krysis> ok now phont copy this "sudo apt-get install emerald simple-ccsm"
[02:56] <krysis> without the quuotes
[02:56] <krysis> and paste it to your terminal
[02:57] <krysis> then press enter and follow instructions
[02:57] <phong_> i think it did install now
[02:57] <Rabbitbunny> ezrafree: They never like the easy way..
[02:57] <phong_> still following and click yes
[02:57] <KenBW2> Quirkly: perhaps xubuntu doesn't support printer shares out of the box - i remember it not supporting samba shares
[02:57] <phong_> it's done krysis
[02:57] <Dr_Willis> Quirkly:  if the cups web interface is not working.. somthing else may be needed as well
[02:57] <krysis> ok, then when its done it'll take you back to the typing, can you type?
[02:57] <toastedmilk> Dr_Willis, It's in the /usr/share/pixmamps/splash folder, but the 'Login Window' settings menu doesn't have it in a list, nor can find it in the folders
[02:57] <phong_> yes i can type
[02:57] <krysis> ok cool
[02:58] <toastedmilk> krysis, i hope you made a backup.
[02:58] <Quirkly> well, I have a feeling it doesn't support them out of the box KenBW2, thus my questions, lol, even went onto GNOME and can't find the add printer dialog all the instructions speak of
[02:58] <phong_> what's next now ?
[02:58] <krysis> what for toasted?
[02:58] <Dr_Willis> toastedmilk:  Hmm the usplash stuff happens befor the login window I belive.. Xsplash in 9.10 happens right befor/after the GDM login window
[02:58] <krysis> ok
[02:58] <Quirkly> and Dr_Willis I've begun digging into why my cups isn't working
[02:58] <krysis> phong go here: http://gnome-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=103&PHPSESSID=9193a3cc2631d71ad8ad6e56af7ad23b
[02:58] <krysis> all themes are here, do you know how to download files from this site?
[02:58] <phong_> 'm in there
[02:58] <KenBW2> Quirkly: in gnome it's System > Admin > Printing
[02:58] <phong_> i saw a lot of them
[02:58] <krysis> ok go ahead and download one of those themes to your desktop
[02:58] <phong_> ok i will brb
[02:58] <krysis> ok
[02:58] <Quirkly> KenBW2, I have that, but it only allows me to add a CUPs printer
[02:59] <krysis> toasted why backup? for what?
[02:59] <KenBW2> Quirkly: as opposed to?
[02:59] <ezrafree> sje46: also, regarding your initial question, it depends whom you are trying to make the data unrecoverable from. read up on the Gutmann algorithm
[02:59] <Dr_Willis> krysis:  the gnome-art and gnome-artng tools are handy for downloading themes
[02:59] <Quirkly> well, I dunno what a shared printer would be considered
[02:59] <Quirkly> where would my cups server be?
[02:59] <toastedmilk> Dr_Willis, oh...crap.  Wrong preference menu.  I have 9.04, but where is the usplash logo config menu? or command?
[02:59] <Quirkly> that's what it asks for
[02:59] <Rabbitbunny> krysis: Use complete nicks, there's a good chance of a partial match.
[02:59] <krysis> i dont think i've used those... i'll try
[02:59] <ezrafree> sje46: 1 wipe may make it unrecoverable to some, but not to say, Department of Defense
[02:59] <KenBW2> Quirkly: go to New > Network Printers >  Windows printer via SAMBA
[02:59] <krysis> ah ok, with tab, got it Rabbitbunny :P
[03:00] <Quirkly> new is greyed out
[03:00] <Quirkly> that's the problem
[03:00] <Dr_Willis> toastedmilk:  no idea. the extent i use usplash is to disable it with 'nosplash' in the kernel boot options. I find it totally useless.. and causes more probolems then it fix's
[03:00] <orizon> hi all
[03:00] <Quirkly> only thing avail is the "Connect..." option
[03:00] <ViridianFire> does anyone know how to fully remove KDE?
[03:00] <sje46> thanks ezrafree
[03:00] <Dr_Willis> !puregnome | ViridianFire
[03:00] <phong_> krysis: is white os x good?
[03:00] <ViridianFire> thanks
[03:00] <toastedmilk> Dr_Willis, man usplash haha
[03:00] <phong_> it looks like apple
[03:00] <krysis> phong_:  that depends on what you like :P
[03:00] <krysis> some poeple miht like windows... blahg
[03:01] <KenBW2> Quirkly: what version of *ubuntu?
[03:01] <Rabbitbunny> ezrafree: Not to single you out, but i'm having problems with a usb disk, i need ubuntu to not try to mount anything I plug in for just a few moments, happen to now anything about that?
[03:01] <Quirkly> well, freshly downloaded last week
[03:01] <phong_> oh ...let me continue to look
[03:01] <Quirkly> xubuntu
[03:01] <phong_> brb
[03:01] <Quirkly> so, pretty new
[03:01] <cybertaur1> hello, I'm having a problem with my ethernet connection.  i've got a fresh install of ubuntu 9.10 and when the ethernet cable is plugged in, it's constantly connecting and then disconnecting (by itself, i'm not doing anything to the cord).  the cable works fine on my macbook pro.
[03:01] <KenBW2> Quirkly: are you able to upload a screenshot?
[03:01] <Quirkly> ya, I do that asap, hang tight
[03:01] <Rabbitbunny> KenBW2: Are you nuts?
[03:01] <Dr_Willis> i dont even see much pointin using xubuntu these days. :)
[03:01] <krysis> :P
[03:02] <Quirkly> shitty machine
[03:02] <KenBW2> Rabbitbunny: no?
[03:02] <Quirkly> that's my only reasoning
[03:02] <krysis> i use LXDE on my Xubuntu install
[03:02] <KenBW2> Rabbitbunny: should i be?
[03:02] <krysis> for my Thinkpad 240
[03:02] <krysis> oooooolld laptop
[03:02] <krysis> err "netbook"
[03:02] <Quirkly> I barely got it installed, have to run laptop with an icepack underneath it
[03:02] <krysis> lmao
[03:02] <ezrafree> Rabbitbunny: let's see i believe gnome-auto-mounter handles automounting, and/or dbus
[03:02] <Rabbitbunny> KenBW2: Uploading a how many MB file to find a 10byte string, seriously.
[03:02] <Dr_Willis> from the 'sites' ive seen xubuntu vs gnome isent saving that much in space/cpu/memory. expecially after you have to install all these extra gnome tools/apps
[03:02] <orizon> че ето за хуетень ?
[03:02] <ezrafree> sorry not gnome-auto-mounter, gnome-volume-manager
[03:03] <ardchoille> !ru | orizon
[03:03] <orizon> да иди ты нахуй
[03:03] <KenBW2> Rabbitbunny: welcome to 2010 where bandwidth isnt scarce
[03:03] <orizon> sor
[03:03] <Rabbitbunny> ezrafree: Ah ha, I see. Now I know enough for the man pages to teach me more. Like how it's supposed to work. Thanks.
[03:03] <ezrafree> Rabbitbunny: my pleasure
[03:03] <ouyes> how to install window xp in ubuntu? i want to run some applications of windows?
[03:04] <ezrafree> ouyes: try wine
[03:04] <krysis> couldnt find gnome-artng in repo
[03:04] <ezrafree> ouyes: wine will not install windows, but it can allow you to install some windows programs
[03:04] <ouyes> ezrafree, i want to install windows xp in ubuntu
[03:04] <krysis> i only wanted to use my small laptop with ubuntu for the Basket application
[03:04] <ezrafree> ouyes: oh, i'm not aware of a way to do that
[03:04] <krysis> its amazing
[03:04] <Dr_Willis> krysis:  use the pacakge manager search feature.  for gnome art. gnome-artng is not int he repos last i looked
[03:04] <orizon> :)
[03:04] <KenBW2> ouyes: try virtualbox
[03:05] <Dr_Willis> !find gnomeart
[03:05] <krysis> i tried looking through terminal, no find, i found gnome-art though
[03:05] <Dr_Willis> It might be gnome-art
[03:05] <cybertaur1> anybody have any ideas about the ethernet business? i keep getting disconnected and then re-connected
[03:05] <KenBW2> Quirkly: my CUPS server is at /var/run/cups/cups.sock if that helps
[03:05] <ezrafree> ahh yes, virtualbox, never gotten virtualbox to work for me before but in theory it should work
[03:05] <Dr_Willis> !find gnome-art
[03:05] <ouyes> KenBW2, ok
[03:05] <krysis> i found gnome-art, but not gnome-artng, i'll play with art
[03:05] <un214> how do I rebuild modules.dep.bin?
[03:05] <KenBW2> ezrafree: works fine here
[03:05] <hiexpo> Dr_Willis, - good evening
[03:05] <Dr_Willis> hiexpo:  Moo! :) time for me to go to work.
[03:05] <krysis> there needs to be an app for gnome-look.org
[03:05] <ezrafree> KenBW2: yes, at that time i was in slackware distro... i haven't tried in ubuntu yet
[03:05] <yeason> I've got a non-raid disk that is for some reason identifying as being in a raid... I know there's a utility that will basically fix the mbr or something (forgot what it was), does someone know what I'm talking about and can you point me in the right direction? thanks!
[03:06] <KenBW2> ouyes: why do you want XP *in* Ubuntu?
[03:06] <wevlop> hi, after more than 3 versions later i installed ubuntu again, but my celeron laptop is still have trouble as it used to have with 7.10/8.04 , my keyboard & touchpad is not being detected
[03:06] <Dr_Willis> krysis:  i thouught gnome-art does get themse from gnome-look.org
[03:06] <ouyes> KenBW2, my job
[03:06] <krysis> oh no, its from art.gnome.org
[03:06] <ezrafree> ouyes: you could always do a dual boot, and just boot into windows sometimes
[03:06] <Dr_Willis> krysis:  so you get 100000% more ugly themes. :)
[03:06] <Dr_Willis> bye all.
[03:06] <KenBW2> ouyes: do you know how to intall virtualbox?
[03:06] <wevlop> there was some extra parameter to add in the boot settings which was disabing sound but enabling my touchpad, i forgot it
[03:06] <ouyes> KenBW2,  i need to install a IM software from my company
[03:06] <boxfish> I ca'n't think of many thigns you really need xp on ubuntu for...even though I have it
[03:06] <krysis> lmao yeah, art.gnome.org isn't that great :/
[03:07] <KenBW2> ouyes: whats the name of the IM software?
[03:07] <ouyes> KenBW2, give me a clue if you know
[03:07] <krysis> thats why someone needs to integrate gnome-look.org into the desktop just like Kubuntu did with their plasma
[03:07] <phong_> krysis i have not find yet...i'm still looking brb
[03:07] <ouyes> KenBW2, you never know , it is special made by my company
[03:07] <KenBW2> ouyes: Applications > Software Centre
[03:07] <krysis> haha, ok take your time
[03:07] <KenBW2> ouyes: do you know what wine is
[03:07] <krysis> phong_:  all i wanted to show is how to import the theme
[03:07] <ezrafree> ouyes: ask them what chat protocol it uses, maybe it's supported in pidgin or another IM client
[03:08] <phong_> ok if i try one , will i be able to undo it?
[03:08] <ouyes> KenBW2, of course mate, i use ubuntu since 8.04
[03:08] <Quirkly> lol, why I'm failing at screenshots is beyond me, I think my brain is fried from this lol, I'll check that file out KenBW2
[03:08] <ViridianFire> what were those commands again?
[03:08] <phong_> if it can, then i'll just pick one for now to learn to try on
[03:08] <ViridianFire> I had to restart X server half way through
[03:08] <lmiller> I have a Person model with a friends ManyToManyField, and I ideally I would like to use a through table on friends. My understanding is, however, that you can't use a through table on a ManyToMany to self ?
[03:08] <phong_> krysis answer my dear
[03:08] <KenBW2> Quirkly: you said it was asking for a cups server - put that location in
[03:08] <lmiller> oops wrong channel hah
[03:08] <Quirkly> hrm, KenBW2 that file is lacking completely
[03:08] <krysis> yeah, just pick any
[03:08] <Quirkly> oh
[03:08] <razertek> what is the name of the network hardware driver in karmic/lucid?
[03:08] <boxfish> Ouyes : what email software do you use at work ? , if it's Lotus notes then sametime may be your IM protocol ?
[03:08] <krysis> in fact phong_ take the OSX one
[03:08] <Quirkly> well, there's nothing there except a certs folder
[03:08] <marlin> ok
[03:08] <ouyes> ezrafree, it is impossible, because it is an internal software , and netword
[03:08] <KenBW2> Quirkly: maybe you need to install cups
[03:09] <Quirkly> well, it's installed, and /etc/init.d/cups start
[03:09] <Quirkly> works, and starts cupsd
[03:09] <marlin> i need to know how to connect to a nero media server and i keep looking in all the wrong places
[03:09] <cybertaur1> anyone here use boxee?
[03:09] <mkanyicy> cybertaur1, what is boxee?
[03:09] <saruji> Hi guys, my HD seems to be crashed, could somebody assist in verifying....loading ubuntu 9.10 all of a sudden gives me the error message "unable to mount" press ctrl d to attempt again or login for maintenance mode.
[03:09] <ardchoille> cybertaur1: I do
[03:09] <marlin> dont use boxee
[03:10] <cybertaur1> http://www.boxee.tv/ - media library something or other

[03:10] <ecart> Hello everybody ... good night! I have a serious problem here ... I bought a video card Zotac Nvidia Geforce 5500 AGP, and drive vesa does not work ... would like help finding the right drive for you card.
[03:10] <hiexpo> ouyes, sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose virtualbox-ose-source
[03:10] <cybertaur1> ardchoille: every time i start it, i get disconnected from my ethernet
[03:10] <ouyes> boxfish,  i work for a branch of  big group, so everything is designed just for the company, besides i do not know the protocol
[03:10] <cybertaur1> marlin: why not?
[03:10] <KenBW2> Quirkly: sudo apt-get install a2ps solved someone else's problem
[03:10] <marlin> can i connect to nero server or just share with mic xp?
[03:10] <cybertaur1> marlin: did you mean you personally don't use it, or like a warning
[03:10] <ViridianFire> How is it that you completely remove KDE again?
[03:10] <ezrafree> ouyes: well it doesn't hurt to ask. i would imagine they did not go to the trouble of writing their own chat protocol
[03:10] <marlin> because xmbc seems like the one for me
[03:10] <ouyes> boxfish, hiexpo ezrafree  thanks
[03:10] <phong_> krysis i did download this: Thank you for downloading macnome
[03:10] <mkanyicy> saruji, how are you logged in now?

[03:11] <mkanyicy> saruji, pastebin 'sudo fdisk -l'
[03:11] <ViridianFire> ubottu: could I get those commands again?

[03:13] <marlin> all google wants to do is set up ps3 servers, lol
[03:13] <mkanyicy> saruji, i am still waiting
[03:13] <krysis> compiz*
[03:13] <krysis> i forgot this one part
[03:13] <DanoZ34> Does anybody know why my canon ip2600 printer will say processing but won't actually print?
[03:13] <KenBW2> Quirkly: sudo aptitude install gnome-cups-manager
[03:14] <phong_> krysis do i close the emerald them ?
[03:14] <phong_> it's still open
[03:14] <krysis> yeah you can close it, just select the theme and press apply
[03:14] <boxfish> Ouyes : you will need a xp image for that, or install from scratch (licence theoretically would be required for that)
[03:14] <krysis> err sorry there is no apply
[03:14] <krysis> just click on the theme and exit
[03:14] <mac9416> How do I prevent GDM from running at startup?
[03:14] <KenBW2> boxfish: "theoretically" - love it :P
[03:14] <phong_> 'm in ubuntu software center
[03:14] <DanoZ34> Does anybody know why my canon ip2600 printer will say processing but won't actually print?
[03:14] <phong_> what do i search for?
[03:14] <krysis> phong_: search for compiz fusion icon
[03:15] <marlin> KenBW2: do you know how i can connect to a nero server or should i use typical file sharing?
[03:15] <mkanyicy> mac9416, why do you want to do that?
[03:15] <CAPcap> anyone know how to change a cursor theme in lxde?
[03:15] <KenBW2> marlin: i have no idea what a nero server is
[03:15] <phong_> ok i did
[03:15] <phong_> it installed
[03:15] <krysis> ok
[03:15] <Quirkly> KenBW2, it no exist, maybe I should check repositories
[03:15] <phong_> i still dont see any change yet
[03:15] <Quirkly> but I have most enabled
[03:15] <krysis> go to applications > system tools > fusion icon
[03:15] <mac9416> mkanyicy: because whenever I try to login, it simply restarts GDM. I cannot kill it.
[03:15] <mac9416> mkanyicy: even as root.
[03:15] <krysis> the icon should pop in system tray
[03:16] <DanoZ34> where can i go to get help with printers?
[03:16] <Rabbitbunny> krysis: Talk to phong_, not the channel. You should know better.
[03:16] <phong_> yeah
[03:16] <Quirkly> lol KenBW2 I think it's my cupsd config
[03:16] <ouyes> boxfish,  i do not know ill have a xp image
[03:16] <p3rror> hello
[03:16] <Quirkly> DanoZ34, join the club lol

[03:16] <ouyes> boxfish,  can i use the cd?
[03:16] <__machine> how can i upgrade just one package (mod_wsgi) on hardy heron lts without opening up all packages to bleeding edge?
[03:16] <phong_> krysis: i saw the icon on bar
[03:16] <KenBW2> Quirkly: http://xubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/08/09/howto-print-from-one-ubuntu-printer-to-another-with-xubuntu/
[03:16] <krysis> ok now right click on the icon, go under "window decorator" and choose emerald

[03:18] <KenBW2> CAPcap: clearly not
[03:18] <saruji> mkanyicy: yes
[03:18] <Quirkly> well, not too much, I mean, the problem would be fixed if printer was hooked up to a linux machine'
[03:18] <hiexpo> ouyes, why you need xp for ?
[03:18] <Random832> saruji; no idea - type 'mount', does it say anything about /dev/sda or /dev/sda1?

[03:18] <marlin> NEED HELP: i have a media server set up on a win XP machine and i want to connect to it...
[03:18] <Random832> tertitten; ?
[03:18] <CAPcap> KenBW2, people come and go and people miss things, i figured it wouldnt hurt to ask again

[03:19] <phong_> krysis i want the whole them change man
[03:19] <tertitten> Random832, right click and delete/remove is grayed
[03:19] <wweasel> Question guys: I'm running Ubuntu server on an old laptop. Periodically, it goes into some sort of suspend state, where it stops responding to ping/ssh, etc.. Touching a keyboard key instantly reawakens it. I can't seem to figure out how to disable this. Or even where to look in the logs to figure out what precisely is happening. Any advice appreciated.
[03:19] <Quirkly> time to google httpConnectionEncrypt failed
[03:19] <phong_> anything good for whole them and i cons
[03:19] <ouyes> KenBW2,  how to find out the protocol it used?
[03:19] <Random832> tertitten; on a blank area?
[03:19] <krysis> phong_:  you want full mac theme?
[03:19] <Athen> it seems that Gnome Sudoku 2.28.0 doesn't keep track of the time very well
[03:19] <KenBW2> ouyes: ask the developers, or check the file name
[03:19] <mkanyicy> !language | casllab,
[03:19] <tertitten> Random832, yes
[03:19] <phong_> if posible
[03:19] <phong_> or any full nice them
[03:19] <KenBW2> ouyes: what's the name of the program?
[03:19] <hiexpo> ouyes, how through beetworking?
[03:20] <FiremanEd> !language > casllab
[03:20] <Random832> tertitten; it looks like you have to have at least one panel
[03:20] <ardchoille> phong_: I used this one, it's great:  http://mac4lin.sourceforge.net/
[03:20] <DanoZ34> Does the Canon ip2600 printer not work with Ubuntu 9.10?
[03:20] <marlin> anyone know anything about nero?
[03:20] <mkanyicy> !language | casllab,
[03:20] <krysis> http://sourceforge.net/projects/mac4lin/
[03:20] <KenBW2> ouyes: file name? i mean help file
[03:20] <casllab> !language | mkanyicy
[03:20] <krysis> phong_:  http://sourceforge.net/projects/mac4lin/
[03:20] <tertitten> Random832, OK, no problem, I'll just hide it then
[03:20] <ouyes> KenBW2,  i can not find vitualbox in the software center
[03:20] <casllab> lol
[03:20] <boxfish> marlin : I normally sorted such problems by making sure the "WORKGROUP" was the same on both machines
[03:20] <phong_> its downloading now
[03:20] <phong_> ;)
[03:20] <saruji> casllab: trace routing my ip cutie?
[03:20] <Random832> you do know that casllab is ballsac spelt backwards, right? he was just trolling in ##linux
[03:20] <casllab> saruji NO READING UR /WHOIS YOU FAGGOT
[03:20] <krysis> the beauty of linux is u can make it look like anything, you can combine anything you want together to customize your own, full blown themes are rare to find, but you can make your own from gnome-look.org
[03:20] <hajmola> DanoZ34, it's always a google away: http://www.openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Canon-PIXMA_iP2600
[03:20] <KenBW2> ouyes: its called "Virtualbox OSE"
[03:20] <ardchoille> !ops | casllab
[03:20] <saruji> mkanyicy: it gives me a lot of things
[03:20] <casllab> saruji ALSO, COCKS
[03:21] <krysis> phong_: the beauty of linux is u can make it look like anything, you can combine anything you want together to customize your own, full blown themes are rare to find, but you can make your own from gnome-look.org
[03:21] <mkanyicy> ikonia, casllab is being offensive
[03:21] <ouyes> KenBW2,  i am quite sure you do not know the name, as i said  it is special made by my company,
[03:21] <IdleOne> casllab: stop
[03:21] <phong_> krysis: i'm a noob remember,
[03:21] <KenBW2> ouyes: i probably wont, but i can google it
[03:21] <mkanyicy> saruji, pastebin everything
[03:21] <phong_> krysis: i finshed downloading
[03:21] <marlin> boxfish: will that connect me to the server or just the shared folders?
[03:21] <casllab> ikonia: these guys are bullying me
[03:21] <toastedmilk> Anyone know anything about configuring usplash to use an .so file?
[03:21] <ouyes> KenBW2,  i search virtualbox no matches
[03:21] <krysis> well yes, phong_ but for the most part you can just "Drag and drop" the themes onto your appearance manager
[03:21] <casllab> HOW DO I SHOT UBUNTU?!11/11???!?!!??!??!?1
[03:21] <KenBW2> ouyes: what repositories do you have enabled
[03:21] <casllab> HY
[03:21] <mkanyicy> saruji, copy everything and paste it at http://paste.ubuntu.com
[03:21] <hajmola> casllab, that doesn't make any sense
[03:21] <toastedmilk> casllab, stop flaming/spamming
[03:22] <casllab> hajmola: STFU.
[03:22] <ouyes> KenBW2,  oh i found it
[03:22] <CAPcap> !trolling | casllab
[03:22] <phong_> krysis how to unzip a .zip file with folder
[03:22] <boxfish> marlin: I found that it made finding other machines on my home netowrk a lot easier
[03:22] <KenBW2> ouyes: i dont know why you dont just try wine first
[03:22] <krysis> right click on the file phong_ then click "extract here"
[03:22] <DanoZ34> Does the Canon ip2600 printer not work with Ubuntu 9.10?
[03:22] <Quirkly> so, guess it's time to dig in log files KenBW2 I've come to the conclusion that my cups server is likely borked
[03:22] <Quirkly> lol
[03:22] <KenBW2> Quirkly: great lol
[03:22] <phong_> i want to learn from command line
[03:22] <hajmola> DanoZ34, did you look at the link i sent you
[03:22] <phong_> unzip with saving folder info
[03:22] <krysis> ok, from command line
[03:22] <darryl_sockwell> Is Ubuntu 9.10 suitable for a P4 with 384mb of RAM?
[03:22] <Quirkly> uhhh
[03:22] <toastedmilk> phong_, check out man pages!
[03:22] <DanoZ34> i never saw one im sorry
[03:22] <KenBW2> Quirkly: this is why i abandoned xubuntu on my old PC
[03:22] <saruji> mkanyicy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/367260/
[03:22] <phong_> no toast
[03:22] <Quirkly> lack of a log file KenBW2 proves the problem is really bad hahaha
[03:23] <Quirkly> typically I don't have a need to print
[03:23] <toastedmilk> phong_, yes phong
[03:23] <Quirkly> so nonissue
[03:23] <KenBW2> Quirkly: er, yea
[03:23] <phong_> krysis go ahead
[03:23] <mkanyicy> saruji, ok, let me check it out
[03:23] <marlin> boxfish: ok, i'll try that some more and come back if i have too. i just cant seem to get the naming right
[03:23] <boxfish> I like using "nmap" for finding stuff too, but I'm sure there are other more efficient ways
[03:23] <KenBW2> Quirkly: why is the PC unable to run ubuntu?
[03:23] <krysis> im not sure if tar can unzip zip files...
[03:23] <Quirkly> no, it's a family machine
[03:23] <saruji> mkanyicy: thank you
[03:23] <krysis> its easier if you just right click and extract here
[03:23] <Quirkly> thus, windows for the masses
[03:23] <phong_> krysis okay i do it form gui then
[03:23] <phong_> brb
[03:23] <DanoZ34> haji can you repost it?
[03:23] <Quirkly> I mean, I could go in to my email on that machine and print the file I want....but that's too fucking easy
[03:23] <mkanyicy> saruji, ok try this: 'sudo fdisk -l' and paste it again
[03:24] <krysis> its just easier phong_ with time you can use the terminal for more things, for now get used to the gui
[03:24] <KenBW2> Quirkly: and wouldnt be as fun :)
[03:24] <IdleOne> !language | Quirkly
[03:24] <phong_> ok it did extract to a folder
[03:24] <Quirkly> oops
[03:24] <phong_> i saw some .sh file
[03:24] <krysis> ok now you can go into a terminal
[03:24] <krysis> go into that directory where the .sh file is
[03:24] <ouyes> KenBW2, body i tried and failed , that is why i came here to ask, remember i am a newbie and using ubuntu since 8.04
[03:24] <Quirkly> I've setup network printers on linux befoer, just never this much hassle.....just gotta fix my cups I guess
[03:24] <saruji> mkanyicy: that on just reads "Unable to seek on /dev/sda
[03:24] <phong_> should i do ./configure ?
[03:25] <krysis> first do chmod +x
[03:25] <KenBW2> Quirkly: why not just install ubuntu - iirc the system usage isnt that different
[03:25] <krysis> chmod +x <filename>
[03:25] <phong_> it's in green: Mac4Lin_Install_v1.0.sh
[03:25] <mkanyicy> saruji, one line?
[03:25] <ouyes> KenBW2,  i know what is wine and i use it play counter-strike
[03:25] <KenBW2> ouyes: if youvce tried then fair enough
[03:25] <krysis> phong_:  do chmod +x Mac4Lin_Install_v1.0.sh
[03:25] <phong_> ok
[03:25] <krysis> phong_:  remember you can use tab to complete the name of the file
[03:25] <saruji> mkanyicy: yes, first blank line then Unable to seek on /dev/sda
[03:25] <Quirkly> eh, well, see the other problem is that this laptop is a hand me down, and overheats quickly, particularly when installing ubuntu and a big number of packages
[03:25] <boxfish> darryl_sockwell : I think that ram is a bit too low really, to be of great use
[03:25] <ouyes> KenBW2,  thanks , you did help me .
[03:26] <Quirkly> when I want a permanent fix, like when I get a new hard drive, I'll probably do a ubuntu proper install
[03:26] <saruji> mkanyicy: how do i find out what sda is?
[03:26] <KenBW2> Quirkly: take the cover off and give the dust a blow
[03:26] <KenBW2> Quirkly: that helped with a friend's laptop overheating problem
[03:26] <mkanyicy> saruji, that is your hard drive
[03:26] <Quirkly> well, the hard drive is baerly functioning too...
[03:26] <charles__> I recently uninstalled Firefox, but there are still two firefox folders in /etc, would it be safe to remove these? i imagine they are the reason i still see reference to firefox in BleachBit
[03:26] <Quirkly> I only can run this with an ice pack underneath lol, it's crazy
[03:26] <phong_> krysis: the tab only give up to Mac4Lin_
[03:26] <phong_> haha
[03:26] <krysis> if anyone likes games in here go check out "Quake Live" its amazing, works great from the firefox
[03:26] <saruji> mkanyicy: i know but I have a few and couldnt it also be a cdrom? or flash drive?
[03:26] <Quirkly> I'll probably take it apart and clean it at some point, like when I get a new drive
[03:27] <krysis> phong_:  what other filenames with Mac4Lin are there?
[03:27] <KenBW2> Quirkly: lol, why wait
[03:27] <saruji> mkanyicy: or sda is my live cd?
[03:27] <phong_> krysis any what is next:   sudo sh Mac4Lin_Install_v1.0.sh  ???
[03:27] <phong_> is that right?
[03:27] <krysis> phong_:  do "sudo ./Mac4Lin_Install_v1.0.sh
[03:27] <krysis> of course use tab so u get the right thing
[03:27] <hiexpo> krysis, - he can't just drag and drop lol
[03:28] <mkanyicy> saruji, no, it's you hard drive
[03:28] <phong_> krysis answer yes to all by default?
[03:28] <krysis> well this is a install through a script hiexpo
[03:28] <CAPcap> anyone know how to change a cursor theme in lxde?
[03:28] <phong_> just keep on Y ?
[03:28] <krysis> yes phong_
[03:28] <phong_> ok brb
[03:28] <hiexpo> i know
[03:28] <saruji> mkanyicy: as in main?  then maybe its a rights issue?
[03:28] <saruji> mkanyicy: or for sure its a gonner
[03:28] <mkanyicy> saruji, yes
[03:28] <phong_> ok krysis it's done
[03:28] <krysis> they shoulda made a deb out of mac4lin...
[03:28] <phong_> now what?
[03:28] <krysis> ok, now go into your desktop
[03:29] <krysis> right click on desktop > change background > themes
[03:29] <mkanyicy> saruji, it looks like something serious happened on it
[03:29] <krysis> and look for the new installed theme
[03:29] <phong_> ok
[03:29] <KenBW2> CAPcap: http://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=693
[03:29] <Quirkly> KenBW2, well, waiting for hard drive cause of $$$, and waiting to clean cause :lazy:
[03:29] <saruji> mkanyicy: yea i can see those raptures going any moment
[03:29] <phong_> is there a quick way to hide all windows?
[03:29] <phong_> or minimize all open windows?
[03:29] <krysis> bottom left
[03:29] <phong_> ok
[03:29] <krysis> desktop
[03:29] <Quirkly> and I've had other old laptops where cleaning did no good, so I'd be very disappointed if I went to all that trouble, for nothing
[03:29] <KenBW2> Quirkly: better than having ice pack under it
[03:29] <saruji> mkanyicy: so your analysis is that its dead or possibly revivable?
[03:29] <krysis> little icon
[03:29] <phong_> i got it
[03:29] <phong_> thanks
[03:29] <phong_> brb
[03:29] <Quirkly> not that big of an issue, when I am only on it for a few hours a day
[03:29] <macosxtiger> can anyone make a suggestion on an ftp server with a GUI front end with many fetures?
[03:29] <KenBW2> Quirkly: i knew someone who had to keep his laptop in the freezer :)
[03:29] <krysis> anyone try docky yet?
[03:30] <ouyes> what is the commercial mode of ubuntu in your country? if i want to spread it also make a living in the process, what can i do? i want to make more and more people know that there are other choice not only windows, and it is a quite good OS
[03:30] <Quirkly> haha, well, if it was that bad, i would do something about it
[03:30] <mkanyicy> saruji, honestly that is beyond my experience. all i can say is that back up your files soon as you access them, things might get even worse
[03:30] <Quirkly> I suspect that it's some other part overheating, in which case I'll just make the best of a bad situation until I get a new machine
[03:30] <phong_> krysis i love it
[03:30] <krysis> =)
[03:30] <mkanyicy> saruji, read this: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-desktop-74/unable-to-seek-on-devsda-614966/
[03:30] <ryanprior> I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) on my laptop. The install went great, and it boots up fine, but when I log in every character of text is displayed as a box. I already tried re-installing, but that didn't fix it. In the LiveCD system, the text looks fine. Any ideas why it doesn't render right in an installed system?
[03:30] <Krumar> hey, my computer has started acting strange, the cpu usage is very low, like under 5% but my load average gets up to about 2 and the computer becomes almost unresponsive, can anyone tell me how to start to figure out what the problem is?
[03:30] <KenBW2> ouyes: delivering training would be the best way
[03:31] <krysis> glad i can help phong_
[03:31] <krysis> have fun with ubuntu!
[03:31] <KenBW2> Quirkly: im gonna have to go
[03:31] <phong_> last thing i want
[03:31] <KenBW2> Quirkly: hope you get it fixed
[03:31] <phong_> a terminal with back color
[03:31] <phong_> i hate white ternimal
[03:31] <krysis> windows user huh?
[03:31] <phong_> kubuntu has nice terminal screen
[03:31] <krysis> ok
[03:31] <saruji> mkanyicy: ok here is my problem though, I have a back up drive in there and everything but the system files are there, I can access them, except my /home/username files (which I rerouted so that my /home is located on the secondary drive) any direction on how I could access these files
[03:31] <krysis> open your regular terminal
[03:31] <phong_> ok
[03:31] <hajmola> phong_, you do know you can change the colors.....
[03:31] <krysis> go to edit > profile preferences
[03:32] <CAPcap> KenBW2, thankls
[03:32] <Quirkly> take care KenBW2
[03:32] <krysis> and look around in there
[03:32] <Quirkly> I'll be ok
[03:32] <phong_> krysis okay i know now
[03:32] <phong_> thanks
[03:32] <saruji> mkanyicy: when I attempt to access them through my /file system/home/username it gives me error message that I dont have permissions
[03:32] <phong_> i got ur point
[03:32] <krysis> phong_:  no problem! im going to go play some quakelive now =)
[03:32] <mkanyicy> saruji, ok paste the output of 'df -h' and that of 'ls -lh /dev/sd*'
[03:33] <Krumar> hey, my computer has started acting strange, the cpu usage is very low, like under 5% but my load average gets up to about 2 and the computer becomes almost unresponsive, can anyone tell me how to start to figure out what the problem is?
[03:33] <ouyes> KenBW2, delivering training? what kind of training?
[03:33] <Garak> Krumar: laptop or desktop?
[03:33] <boxfish> Krumar : load average 2 ?? isnt that the same as 200% ?
[03:33] <phong_> krysis: wow the transparent hahah i love it
[03:34] <Krumar> Garak, desktop
[03:34] <phong_> I wish i can see a girl with that transpanrent thing
[03:34] <mkanyicy> ikonia, you can use chmod and chown to get permissions to those partitions
[03:34] <Krumar> boxfish, not sure, just says 2
[03:34] <mkanyicy> ikonia, sorry, not you
[03:34] <mkanyicy> saruji,  you can use chmod and chown to get permissions to those partitions
[03:34] <ouyes> KenBW2, may i know your country?
[03:34] <hajmola> Krumar, load isn't just CPU usage, it's also I/O stuff like USB, disk writing, network drives
[03:34] <boxfish> Krumar so you have disk activity ?
[03:34] <krysis> phong_: if you go to desktop, right click > desktop wallpaper > visual effects  --  you will see a "Custom" option
[03:34] <krysis> forgot about that, enjoy
[03:35] <Krumar> hajmola, yea, i want to know what i can do to locate narrow down the problem
[03:35] <saruji> mkanyicy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/367264/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/367265/ thank you
[03:35] <Krumar> boxfish, yes, there is disks activity
[03:35] <boxfish> Krumar : look at the system monitor
[03:36] <Krumar> boxfish, i'm there
[03:36] <KenBW2> ouyes: england
[03:36] <KenBW2> ouyes: i mean helping people move to ubuntu
[03:36] <boxfish> Krumar : so what are the nice graphs doing ?
[03:37] <seidos> why does gnome-power-manager not provide a warning or hibernate before my battery runs out of power?
[03:37] <boxfish> I guess they arent all flatlined
[03:37] <Krumar> boxfish, cpu is at about 3% or so, mostly showing cpu usage for system monitor
[03:37] <mkanyicy> saruji, try this 'mkdir ~/sda1 && sudo mount /dev/sda1 ~/sda1' and then paste the output of 'df -h' again
[03:37] <hajmola> seidos, it should... mine does
[03:37] <mkanyicy> saruji, by the way, your two other drives are fine
