[19:09] <jrib> goltoof: that will only list directories
[19:09] <lmh1> how can i make "floppy" drives to boot from networks?
[19:09] <ThatDudeButch> ActionParsnip: wubi.exe def nnot the same md5
[19:09] <ThatDudeButch> not even close
[19:09] <undecim> feyd: If you plan to delete stuff, it would probably be safest to set up a RAID
[19:09] <ThatDudeButch> checking the iso i used
[19:09] <goltoof> cd ..
[19:09] <goltoof> oops
[19:09] <DasEi> taxon: try tightvnc first, if that doesn't do enough, go the longer way of deploying ultravnc
[19:10] <ThatDudeButch> hm taking forever to has
[19:10] <feyd> undecim: I'll be sure and test it before committing it, I'm not going to be deleting so much as just mirroring (a RAID would help there too, but rsync is simpler)
[19:10] <ThatDudeButch> h
[19:10] <gsp2009> anyone know how to minimize evolution to tray and be notified of mail?
[19:10] <taxon> DasEi: I tried tightvnc with icewm but that was really sluggish
[19:10] <goltoof> jrib: anyway, i was able to locate it.  thanks bro!
[19:11] <feyd> gsp2009: get alltray
[19:11] <gsp2009> feyd looking now thanks.
[19:11] <goltoof> jrib:  that cmd will come in use later, i'm sure
[19:11] <gsp2009> feyd.. in repos too.. nice. ;)
[19:12] <taxon> DasEi: isn't there a tool that translate between a xserver and e.g. RDP directly without going through a framebuffer?
[19:12] <feyd> gsp2009: not sure how notifications work, but if evolution doesnt pass them while in the tray, then you can get mail-notification as well, it'd be separate but would still function how you want
[19:12] <LeGambitteur> need a good link to install sis onboard graphic card driver, thx
[19:12] <ActionParsnip> ThatDudeButch: sounds like a bad file, I suggest you use the Ubuntu desktop CD and mount it with maickdisk or daemontools and install that way
[19:12] <KM0201> LeGambitteur: good luck.. i gave up on that one.
[19:12] <LeGambitteur> KM0201: XD
[19:13] <feyd> so has anyone successfully integrated mplayer into chromium?
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> LeGambitteur: what video chip?
[19:13] <DasEi> taxon: not that I knew, what a connection you ran tightvnc over ?
[19:13] <lmh1> Someone that know about ubuntu-10.10-server-amd64 where can i add files to install (#Define Addon) list?
[19:13] <LeGambitteur> ActionParsnip: [SiS] 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE
[19:13] <taxon> 6MBit DSL
[19:14] <gsp2009> feyd: good news... docks the app, and they uses gnome indicator applet natively... sweeeet! thanks.
[19:14] <sisif> Does anyone know how to reproduce the "bug" from 10.04.1 - the one which  forced the bluetooth to be ON at boot time ?
[19:14] <sockPants> hi all, how can i bridge two network connections in ubuntu?
[19:14] <jrib> goltoof: hmm, I had assumed that that corresponded to number of files in a dir, but it doesn't apparently
[19:15] <lmh1> Do someone understand what i ask about?
[19:15] <DasEi> taxon: if that can be used in full, could be enough, though ssh -X , especially in view of more then one client needs less
[19:15] <bj0rn__> maco: no dice after editing the network config
[19:15] <feyd> gsp2009: awesome, happy mailing
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> LeGambitteur: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=347451&page=2   has a sample xorg.conf you may be able to use (or edit) if udev is failing you
[19:16] <goltoof> jrib: yeah, not sure how it was listing whether as dirs or total files, I was able to hone in on the dir only because i recognized it
[19:16] <LeGambitteur> ActionParsnip: thx I'm goinig to try it now !
[19:17] <feyd> how can I style QT apps in an openbox session? is there an automated way? If not, how can I change it manually?
[19:17] <goltoof> I got a bunch of files on an external harddrive that I can't remove in nautilus or as sudo.. keep getting "rm: cannot remove 'dir': Input/output error
[19:18] <ThatDudeButch> hm actually md5s are fine
[19:18] <ThatDudeButch> i was on the wrong wubi exe
[19:18] <taxon> DasEi: hmm, the bandwidth should be a problem
[19:18] <g_o_o> goltoof, rmdir to remove directory
[19:18] <taxon> DasEi: *NOT
[19:18] <xangua> feyd: you mean to give them a gtk look¿¿ install qt4-qtconfig
[19:19] <taxon> DasEi: nethertheless it's slow
[19:19] <goltoof> g_o_o:  rmdir: failed to remove `System Volume Information': No such file or directory
[19:19] <goltoof> g_o_o:  but it's there alright
[19:19] <feyd> xangua: yep, they run on default color settings in openbox, I'm just trying to get it more uniform, I'll check out qt4-config, thanks for the suggestion
[19:19] <mbeierl> goltoof: that sounds like an NTFS file systems
[19:19] <g_o_o> goltoof, try rm -rf to remove the directory
[19:20] <jrib> goltoof: it counts number of subdirectories (essentially)
[19:20] <mbeierl> goltoof: are you using putting quotes around that, or escaping the spaces somehow (like: rm -rf System\ Volume\ Information)
[19:20] <goltoof> g_o_o:  no error output, but dir is still there
[19:20] <goltoof> mbeierl:  quotes
[19:20] <DasEi> taxon: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC
[19:21] <DasEi> taxon: also  installed the corresponding x11-package ?
[19:21] <mbeierl> goltoof: I'm not sure yet, but I think that sys info dir is an internal part of the ntfs structure and cannot be removed
[19:21] <__name__> hello
[19:21] <taxon> DasEi: which kde / gnome package should I choose that doesn't depend on a lot of xservers?
[19:21] <flowbee> whenever i come to work my ubuntu 10.04 box is unresponsive and i have to restart it.  i'm thinking its probably a CPU temperature thing?  1) is there something else it could be?  2) how do i get the cpu temperature (i added cpu temperature to panel but its ex'd out)
[19:21] <__name__> how does the /home encryption work under the hood?
[19:21] <goltoof> mbeierl:  really?  something linux cannot do?
[19:22] <goltoof> mbeierl:  i looked it up and someone figured it out with a chkdisk in windows, i'd like to avoid that route if possile
[19:22] <mbeierl> goltoof: no, something NTFS cannot do.
[19:22] <goltoof> *possible
[19:22] <DasEi> taxon: you asked that before, the used gui is relevant to the localhost, not the vnc, so take what you like
[19:22] <mbeierl> goltoof: this is a Windows-formatted partition, correct?
[19:23] <goltoof> mbeierl:  it's an external drive that i've used to backup windows and linux stuff
[19:23] <DasEi> __name__: ecryptfs
[19:23] <nabukadnezar43> i'm regged now :)
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> taxon: you could install lxde with the open --no-recommends
[19:23] <lwizardl> Hi
[19:23] <goltoof> mbeierl:  now i'm freaked out, i'm going to use this to backup my stuff and reinstall my system to 10.04 :S
[19:24] <g_o_o> goltoof, I think your windows system restore points are saved in that directory
[19:24] <taxon> DasEi: I'd like to use gnome on the server so I have to install some desktop packages. But all seem to depend on various xservers for each graphic card
[19:24] <bj0rn__> maco: http://i.imgur.com/Cg91l.png is what i see on the installation where my network-manager was uninstalled and subsequently manually re-installed. editing the config file to have managed=true seems to have had no effect.
[19:24] <goltoof> mbeierl:  should i reformat the drive before using it as backup?
[19:24] <lwizardl> I just did a reinstall of my Ubuntu OS and now on my bit install I have no sound
[19:24] <g_o_o> goltoof, if you're sure you want to remove them try sudo rm -rf
[19:24] <mbeierl> goltoof: from what I have read, the system volume information folder is also used as part of NTFS journal - which means that deleting it would corrupt the filesystem
[19:24] <goltoof> g_o_o:  yes I did that..
[19:24] <DasEi> taxon: err ? one g-card for each box.. so one driver per boox .. I don't understand you
[19:25] <mbeierl> goltoof: the answer to that is - it depends.  If you want to read/write it from Windows, you should use a Windows filesystem.  Linux can read Windows, but without loading additional software into your windows install, it cannot read linux filesystems
[19:25] <taxon> DasEi: the server doesn't have a graphic card, so I need a headless xserver
[19:25] <nimrod10> is there a way to eliminate users being doubled on ubuntu 10.04 when suspending ? I'm the only one logged in the laptop now but because of suspending it shows 14 copies of my user on different pts
[19:25] <maco> bj0rn__: see that not-checked checkbox next to "enable networking"?
[19:26] <mbeierl> goltoof: just think of the System Volume Information as a ... well, system folder used by the NTFS filesystem to keep itself safe from powerfailures and don't touch it
[19:26] <bj0rn__> maco: it is greyed out, i cannot click it.
[19:26] <bj0rn__> maco: mousing over the icon says "Network-Manager is not running"
[19:26] <goltoof> mbeierl: oddly enough i never accessed the drive through windows, i don't think... i just have a windows vm that i use independent of any removable drives
[19:27] <maco> bj0rn__: weird. ps -ef | grep network          that shows that it is, though?
[19:27] <taxon> ActionParsnip: I'll have a look into lxde
[19:27] <Lasher`> bye
[19:27] <DasEi> taxon: headless headwith, x-server isn't headless
[19:27] <goltoof> mbeierl:  i think it somehow read the drive and wrote something to it
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> taxon: it does have a graphics card, the POST of ANY system NEEDS a video BIOS
[19:27] <goltoof> mbeierl:  i havne't even figured out how to read usb in my virtualbox xp vm
[19:27] <bj0rn__> maco: must reboot to try, will come back shortly :D
[19:28] <flowbee> my ubuntu box is usually unresponsive when i get to work.  i.e. i move mouse/keyboard and nothing happens.  i have to hard reboot it by holding down power key.  cpu temp is at 42*c.  not sure what else i can check
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> taxon: you can install any DE using the --no-recommends option and get a minimal desktop
[19:28] <feyd> xangua: that was exactly what I was looking for, thanks again
[19:28] <maco> bj0rn__: may i suggest learning to connect with ifconfig to avoid rebooting?
[19:28] <LeGambitteur> how to reboot the X server in terminal ?
[19:28] <taxon> ActionParsnip: hmm ok, lets see
[19:28] <ThatDudeButch> gsp2009 and everyone http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13765981/2011-01-31%2002.50.29.jpg
[19:28] <ThatDudeButch> wtf?
[19:28] <maco> LeGambitteur: i would do sudo service gdm restart
[19:28] <ThatDudeButch> I ran chkdsk /f already before so thats not it
[19:28] <mbeierl> goltoof: so, the drive is currently mounted from what I can tell by the fact you are trying to rm the folder.  In that case, can you do a "mount" command from the terminal?  Its output will tell you the type of filesystem on the drive
[19:28] <ThatDudeButch> is it cause of RAID?
[19:28] <DasEi> LeGambitteur: sudo service gdm restart
[19:29] <ActionParsnip> taxon: LXDE, Fluxbox, Openbox and FLWM will give you a nice slick lightweight desktop
[19:29]  * CensoredBiscuit is away: Oh baby, theres a shark in the water
[19:29] <LeGambitteur> maco: DasEi: thx
[19:29] <ThatDudeButch> ActionParsnip: That make sense? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13765981/2011-01-31%2002.50.29.jpg
[19:29] <goltoof> mbeierl:  fuseblk
[19:29] <ActionParsnip> !away > CensoredBiscuit
[19:29] <bj0rn__> maco: yes! you certainly can. that is the CLI connection program?
[19:29] <maco> bj0rn__: yes
[19:29] <ActionParsnip> ThatDudeButch: do you use raid?
[19:29] <bj0rn__> maco: i'll man that baby up good.
[19:29] <goltoof> mbeierl:  btw, i'm a bit ignorant of filesystem types and what's used best for what
[19:30] <maco> bj0rn__: actually, if you're wired, just run "sudo dhclient"
[19:30] <ThatDudeButch> ActionParsnip: It's abrand new amd box my work just bought me
[19:30] <goltoof> mbeierl:  it's usb 3.0
[19:30] <ThatDudeButch> its factory BIOS
[19:30] <ThatDudeButch> havent touch anything
[19:30] <maco> bj0rn__: (assuming you arent using static addressing)
[19:30] <ThatDudeButch> besides tryong to set up ubuntu
[19:30] <ActionParsnip> ThatDudeButch: i'd check if raid is around, it seems significant
[19:30] <bj0rn__> maco: i certainly am! i'll try all three of those things upon reboot
[19:30] <ThatDudeButch> hmm
[19:30] <ThatDudeButch> bios?
[19:31] <ActionParsnip> ThatDudeButch: i guess
[19:31] <bj0rn__> maco: thanks again for the help so far :)
[19:32] <ThatDudeButch> ActionParsnip: thanks, trying now
[19:32] <mbeierl> goltoof: umm.  Sorry - suddenly out of my depth if this is mounted via fuse.  I'm not that up to date with changes there.  Linux uses a series of variant of the "ext" filesystem, with the oldest being ext2, and the most recent release being ext4.  Microsoft has 2 common types: FAT and NTFS.  Pretty much all versions of Windows now create NTFS by default.  Most "pre-formatted" external hard drives will be NTFS out of the box
[19:33] <KirkMcDonald> Most flash drives are FAT.
[19:33] <Chilaquiles> hello, if im in the command line, how can I start the graphical mode in ubuntu?
[19:33] <KM0201> Chilaquiles: usually startx
[19:33] <jrib> Chilaquiles: sudo service gdm start
[19:33] <KirkMcDonald> By which I mean USB drives and flash cards.
[19:33] <KM0201> or that.
[19:33] <Chilaquiles> startx: command not found.
[19:34] <jrib> Chilaquiles: how did you install ubuntu?
[19:34] <Chilaquiles> I didn't installed
[19:34] <Chilaquiles> I am connected through SSH
[19:34] <Chilaquiles> and I'm in the command line
[19:34] <Chilaquiles> but I can't see the desktop
[19:35] <KM0201> Chilaquiles: well that probably would have been a wise thing to advise of.. i'm not sure how to start gdm from ssh
[19:35] <goltoof> mbeierl:  should've got a 2.0 drive, never had this problem with other drives right out of the box, stupid thing won't even work with my ps3.  i'll reformat it to ext2/ext4 once i figure out how to copy stuff over, won't even let me do that.
[19:35] <dimmortal> I'm trying to dock my pidgin buddy list on the side of 1 of the desktops on my cube..  and remove the window deco from just that window
[19:35] <dimmortal> anybody know how I might go about that??
[19:36] <jrib> Chilaquiles: you want vnc, not ssh.  And I'm guessing you installed the -server version of ubuntu and don't have Xorg installed at all.  So you'll want to install that and some window manager too
[19:36] <mbeierl> goltoof: sorry... I may have missed something you said earlier then.  What is the issue with not being able to write to the disk?
[19:36] <goltoof> mbeierl:  oh no, i can write to disk, but some dirs won't let me write, remove or copy
[19:37] <xpo3> Is there a way to specify the input and output audio device through command line?
[19:37] <dimmortal> dirs that belong to root???
[19:37] <Chilaquiles> jrib: I think you can't connect through VNC to that server
[19:37] <mbeierl> goltoof: the System Volume Information is an understandable case for a directory that cannot be touched.  What others are not accessible?
[19:37] <goltoof> mbeierl:  i got a lot of stuff i just put on there, because i'm reinstalling ubuntu, but i'm scurred to use it as a backup drive with all this nonsense
[19:37] <Chilaquiles> jrib: try it elra-01.cs.colorado.edu
[19:38] <jrib> Chilaquiles: then install vnc if you want vnc
[19:38] <Chilaquiles> Im not an admin on that server
[19:38] <mbeierl> goltoof: what other nonsense is there?  There might be a reasonable explanation for these things...?
[19:38] <toks> hello there, can somebody help me install a share library(.so)
[19:38] <jrib> Chilaquiles: then tell the admin what you want to do
[19:39] <ActionParsnip> toks: what filename?
[19:39] <toks> ActionParsnip: libsimclist.so
[19:39] <goltoof> mbeierl:  a couple other dirs
[19:39] <goltoof> mbeierl:  not windows related just containing some video, music files etc
[19:40] <ActionParsnip> toks: put it in /lib  if you are using 64bit and it's a 32bit lib then put it in /usr/lib32 (I believe thats the folder)
[19:40] <mbeierl> goltoof: did you put these directories there, or were they there already?
[19:40] <ilon> having some serious issues installing ubuntu 10.10 (alternative) on a SSD drive (first luks, then ext4), getting massive I/O-errors.. is there anything that has to be made differently on a SSD-drive compared to a regular SATA-drive?
[19:41] <KirkMcDonald> ilon: No.
[19:41] <goltoof> mbeierl:  i put them there, from ubuntu, but i might have accessed these dirs in windows at some point in time, might explain why they can't be removed now
[19:41] <ilon> KirkMcDonald: ok, thnka you.
[19:41] <KirkMcDonald> ilon: What brand is the SSD?
[19:41] <toks> ActionParsnip: is there a way to refresh things after that? cause i do #include <simclist.h> and it doesnt work
[19:41] <ActionParsnip> ilon: one the controller is setup then the drive technology in the attatced drive is moot
[19:41] <mbeierl> goltoof: ok, what is the permission for the directory set to.  "ls -ld directory-name"
[19:41] <toks> ActionParsnip: i also tried /usr/lib
[19:42] <compdoc> ilon, is ahci enabled for the sata controller in the bios?
[19:42] <ActionParsnip> toks: don't think so, you will have to restart the app which uses it if its already running
[19:43] <ActionParsnip> toks: are you sure it's not libsim.so
[19:43] <ilon> compdoc: first thing i checked before even started the installer :)
[19:43] <mbeierl> goltoof: why I ask is that it is possible the directory is owned by root, or has permissions on it that prevent your current user from manipulating it.  You're familiar with filesystem permissions, root, etc? just let me know if I'm going over ground that was already covered.
[19:43] <ilon> KirkMcDonald: corsair

[19:43] <goltoof> mbeierl:  but i can't chmod the dir
[19:44] <toks> ActionParsnip: yes its not libsim.so, i cant understand why it doesnt work
[19:44] <mbeierl> goltoof: and you are "lee"?
[19:44] <ActionParsnip> Stormed: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Netbeans
[19:44] <compdoc> I bought my first SSD - a 60 gig that I use to boot a server. works gud
[19:44] <g_o_o> toks, you did install the source code you're referencing - simclist.h does exist?
[19:44] <goltoof> mbeierl:  yes, but you can call me goltoof ;)
[19:44] <Stormed> thanks actionparsnip
[19:44] <KirkMcDonald> ilon: Is this a brand new drive?
[19:44] <toks> g_o_o: where should i put the source cause ive missed that point
[19:45] <ActionParsnip> toks: can you give the output of:  lsb_release -c   thanks
[19:45] <Roasted_> Has anybody used Zentyal to configure a FreeRadius server on Ubuntu? I'm curious if the access points that I am to set up with Zentyal/Ubuntu are to get DHCP addresses or if they must be static.
[19:45] <Roasted_> er
[19:45] <Roasted_> Has anybody used Zentyal to configure a FreeRadius server on Ubuntu? (ignore the rest)
[19:45] <mbeierl> goltoof: I don't think you'd answer to "lee" anyway :)  Of course.  So, according to the file list you showed, the user lee created that directory today, and has read/write/execute permissions on the directory.  Yet you cannot delete it?  Or is it that you can no longer manipulate the files in the directory?
[19:46] <ilon> KirkMcDonald: no, a used one, but havent had any I/O-errors prior to this date afaik
[19:46] <goltoof> mbeierl: i can sudo chmod any file or dir for command line but it still doesn't change it
[19:46] <mbeierl> goltoof: cd into the directory, and issue the following commands "touch test" ; "ls -l test" ; "rm test"
[19:46] <KirkMcDonald> ilon: I'm not familiar with that brand of SSD specifically, but I would look up which SMART statistics are recorded by that model of drive.
[19:46] <KirkMcDonald> ilon: They should give you a sense of how used the drive is.
[19:47] <g_o_o> toks, how are you referencing the header file?
[19:47] <toks> g_o_o: #include <simclist.h>
[19:47] <mbeierl> goltoof: if it really is NTFS, I'm not sure that the concept of chmod works the same way.  it might be representing the permissions of the directory as rwx as that is all that is possible to show.  The concept of group and world are different in windows than under unix.
[19:48] <g_o_o> toks, what is the path to the header file?
[19:48] <toks> ActionParsnip: Codename: Maverick
[19:48] <mkf00> who talked to me?
[19:48] <toks> g_o_o: /lib
[19:48] <kmg> i'm trying to use parted on an hfs+ filesystem, how do I get the start and end block? print just shows 200gb as the end block.
[19:48] <g_o_o> toks, the library or the source code
[19:48] <goltoof> mbeierl: http://paste.ubuntu.com/560710/
[19:48] <toks> g_o_o: the library
[19:49] <ilon> KirkMcDonald: yeah, will take a peek if i cant get it to work properly, otherwise i'll just go with my regular drive, and do some tests on the SSD when i have the time
[19:49] <DasEi> goltoof: to clearify, ntfs won't take linux permissions at all
[19:49] <g_o_o> toks, but you're writing code which references this lib?
[19:49] <toks> g_o_o: where should i put the source? its the first time i do this
[19:49] <maco> mbeierl: hit the nail on the head
[19:49] <g_o_o> you can put the source where you want create a dir in your home directory
[19:49] <toks> g_o_o: thats correct
[19:49] <goltoof> DasEi:  hmmm.. that explains a lot!  even as fusemnt?
[19:50] <goltoof> err, fuseblk
[19:50] <g_o_o> then include header file as #include "path_to_file/simclist.h"
[19:50] <ActionParsnip> toks: http://packages.debian.org/sid/mipsel/sim/filelist   shows the location in Debian, it may help
[19:50] <mbeierl> goltoof: oh.  yes, you did mention I/O error.
[19:50] <DasEi> goltoof: yes, this is how data is organized on ext and other fs-systems, they aren't compatible regarding permissions
[19:51]  * lee demands his files back from goltoof
[19:51] <mbeierl> goltoof: I'm suspecting something different now.  Can you do a tail -20 /var/log/messages and tell me if there are any "errors" reported there?
[19:51] <DasEi> goltoof: permissions are part of the used fs, called metadata
[19:52] <goltoof> mbeierl:  no errors, just new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 114
[19:52] <goltoof> mbeierl:  reporting a diff address every second
[19:53] <mbeierl> goltoof: well.  that is good.  For a moment there I was thinking hard disk was... what?
[19:53] <goltoof> lol
[19:53] <toks> ActionParsnip: to make it easier is there a library for linked lists that comes with the distribution?
[19:53] <mbeierl> goltoof: really?  That sounds like a bad cable
[19:53] <goltoof> mbeierl:  well, it is usb 3.0... funky looking cable
[19:53] <mbeierl> goltoof: it is disconnecting and reconnecting at a mad pace.  that's the I/O error.  but ... why?
[19:53] <goltoof> http://paste.ubuntu.com/560711/
[19:54] <mbeierl> goltoof: that is most interesting.  I suspect that is the cause of the problems.  The device keeps getting disconnected and you're losing the ability to manage it.
[19:54] <goltoof> mbeierl:  i don't get i/o error in all dirs, just certain dirs
[19:56] <g_o_o> toks, the code for the SimCList package is available here http://mij.oltrelinux.com/devel/simclist/
[19:56] <mbeierl> goltoof: I unfortunately need to drop for a bit, but I'd suggesting looking into the method of connection (ie: fuse driver vs. direct mount using ntfs) or googling "+ubuntu +make of drive +new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd" etc... to see if that sheds some more light
[19:56] <Holek> hey, guys, ubuntu does not recognize my laptop's touchpad
[19:56] <Holek> it just happened today
[19:57] <nado121> hey
[19:57] <nado121> anyone else not being able to connect to facebook chat via empathy? sometimes it works, most times it doesn't. it's extremely annoying
[19:58] <Holek> my xinput list: http://pastebin.com/Ew4fmSAQ
[19:58] <goltoof> mbeierl:  yea i'm off to lunch, i'll look into that, could be something to do with 3.0 compatibility, or ntfs problem, or both... thanks for everything
[19:58] <toks> g_o_o: i know thats what i am trying to install, i now found i package libsimplelist0, maybe it is what i want
[19:58] <mbeierl> goltoof: wish I could have helped more... best of luck and might see you later...
[20:00] <dreamon> Lost my windowborders, metacity --replace brings it back. but next boot it lost again. What can i do?
[20:00] <toks> g_o_o: ok i found what was going wrong
[20:01] <g_o_o> toks, wrong path?
[20:01] <nado121> nobody?
[20:02] <toks> g_o_o: i ve created a symlink
[20:02] <KM0201> !info startupmanager
[20:02] <KM0201> hmm
[20:03] <JoseeAntonioR> hi!
[20:03] <JoseeAntonioR> anyone here?
[20:04] <g_o_o> JoseeAntonioR, yes
[20:04] <JoseeAntonioR> i need help, when i start ubuntu normally it starts as a command line, and i need to start in recovery mode, and then in failsafe mode
[20:04] <JoseeAntonioR> how can i solve this problem?
[20:05] <xangua> JoseeAntonioR: select recovery mode from grub, keep Shift pressed when boot to show it
[20:06] <hilarie> What is the hotkey to switch between workspaces?
[20:06] <g_o_o> hilarie, ctrl alt arrow
[20:07] <JoseeAntonioR> xangua: i need to start from recovery mode, if i don't do that it boots as command line instead of ubuntu
[20:07] <hilarie> awesome ty
[20:07] <Ash-Fox> Hello, I'm trying to port forward a DNS server and this iptables rule does not appear to work, I don't understand why - Any ideas?: sudo iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d <IP_ADDRESS> -p udp --dport 53 -j DNAT --to <IP_ADDRESS>:10053
[20:07] <m_fulder> hey someone in here using vsftpd? how do I erase a user in vsftpd??
[20:07] <JoseeAntonioR> xangua: for example, today i have started from recovery mode
[20:11] <gnuskool> Hello, I resized a win7 ntfs with my 10.10 dual boot - now grub wont boot----any ideas?
[20:11] <Flare183> gnuskool: reinstall GRUB?
[20:12] <g_o_o> gnuskool, what error do you get?
[20:12] <gnuskool> unknown filesystem
[20:12] <gnuskool> then a grub rescue prompt
[20:13] <Jordan_U> gnuskool: Did you change partition numbering at all?
[20:13] <gnuskool> ive booted into my system using parted magic super grub disk 2, but cant reinstall grub
[20:13] <JoseeAntonioR> anyone who can help me?
[20:13] <JoseeAntonioR> ubuntu
[20:13] <gnuskool> Jordan_U: no i resized an ntfs partition in win7
[20:13] <JoseeAntonioR> boots as command line
[20:14] <Jordan_U> gnuskool: Are you booted into the system in question right now?
[20:14] <gnuskool> Flare183: tried to reinstall, but i get a grub message saying install grub to mbr not os
[20:14] <gnuskool> Jordan_U: yup, im on the system now
[20:15] <Jordan_U> gnuskool: Assuming the drive you want to install to is sda, run "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" do *not* try to install to a partition like /dev/sda1.
[20:15] <Flare183> gnuskool: If you used windows to resize it, it probably corrupted grub
[20:15] <gnuskool> using ubuntu, but i can see all other Oss in the boot menu, but did not try them
[20:15] <g_o_o> gnuskool, did you create a new partition?
[20:16] <gnuskool> Jordan_U: is that to install to MBR?
[20:16] <Jordan_U> gnuskool: Yes, "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" will install grub to the mbr.
[20:16] <gnuskool> g_o_o: nah, resized an ntfs partition in win7
[20:17] <KM0201> g_o_o: so yeah, he created a new partition.. :)
[20:17] <gnuskool> Jordan_U: ok, run that while im in the system or logout first?
[20:17] <Jordan_U> gnuskool: While you are booted into the installed system.
[20:17] <BuMpIc> how could i  make my folders in my root partition? I had windows  but i donw know how its going with linux
[20:18] <gnuskool> Jordan_U: ok, will try that now, after I wipe the beads of sweat from my forehead...
[20:18] <WillWork4foo> hi all - I'm struggling here with a netbook, trying to get plymouth to work properly. I've followed the guide at http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/
[20:19] <gnuskool> Jordan_U:  Thanks, installed, gonna restart
[20:19] <WillWork4foo> and the best I can get is that the system flashes the plymouth boot image for a brief moment at startup, then I get a completely black screen (no power at all to the display) for a few seconds, then I see the boot screen again for a moment and then my desktop appears.
[20:19] <WillWork4foo> This is on an Intel graphics chipset - does anyone have any ideas?
[20:21] <taxon> DasEi: I installed x11vnc but stumbled upon this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/x11vnc/+bug/645106
[20:22] <JoseeAntonioR> ?
[20:24] <gnuskool> Jordan_U: Worked! Life is fun again, thx - buy yourself a beer, you deserve it :D
[20:24] <m_fulder> how do I make a vsftpd user access only some specified files and not my whole comp??
[20:24] <Jordan_U> gnuskool: You're welcome :)
[20:24] <ikonia> m_fulder: permissions, maybe even chroot
[20:25] <WillWork4foo> scuse that
[20:25] <m_fulder> the thing is now a FTP user can access all my folders .. and if I set the permission to only one folder (chmod 700 for a folder and the 777 for one folder in this "700-folder"), then I can't acess the 777-folder thorugh FTP :S
[20:27] <DasEi> taxon : version 1.3.9-6 now , should be fixed
[20:27] <gnuskool> Jordan_U: If I could ask ya - I have an unallocated 17 Gig on my drive that I want to add to my win7 partition using some third party software, but i fear ill get back to this problem - do you know how I can do this?
[20:28] <Jordan_U> gnuskool: If you do have the problem again just run grub-install again afterward.
[20:29] <taxon> DasEi: how do I get it for 10.04.1 server?
[20:29] <gnuskool> Jordan_U: true - just thought there was a direct way to expand the ntfs partition without jumping through hoops
[20:29] <WillWork4foo> does anyone have any ideas on why Plymouth would be blanking my screen during boot-up? It's most annoying
[20:30] <DasEi> taxon: apt-cache show xtightvncviewer, check it's version, supposed to fixed
[20:30] <DasEi> be*
[20:31] <jrib> m_fulder: give execute permissions on the parent directory
[20:31] <m_fulder> ah will try that on thanks jrdnyquist
[20:31] <m_fulder> jrib, *
[20:32] <DasEi> taxon: ah, missreaad it, it's x11vnc, might still be of error
[20:32] <taxon> DasEi: I found this http://www.dl2keb.de/drupal/en/node/413
[20:32] <taxon> DasEi: maybe I have to compile it
[20:33] <JoseeAntonioR> when i boot ubuntu normally, it boots as terminal, so i have to boot it in recovery mode and then in failsafe mode. how can i solve this problem?

[20:47] <Anubi> hi all, how can i around forget permission with wget download?
[20:49] <KM0201> Anubi: what?... wget doesn't require special permissions... just wget urltofile
[20:49] <aeon-ltd> BuMpIc: you (the user) don't actually have ownership of anything in / but /home/username, they are owned by 'root' to become root use sudo
[20:49] <Anubi> KM0201, excuse me, when i use wget for download i receive 403 error
[20:50] <KM0201> Anubi: then the URL is either bad, or does not exist
[20:50] <Anubi> is there any solution? i tried whit -u option
[20:50] <BuMpIc> ok ty
[20:51] <KM0201> Anubi: the solution is to use the right URL
[20:51] <rafael-> Hello there... I bought recently a notebook sony vaio vpc f136fm, and I was trying to install ubuntu 10.10 64bits there, with through wubi. After a 250mb of update installed, the system appears to work correctly, but when I tryed to install my video card ( Nvidia Geforce GT 425M ) the sceen stay black when I try to log in. I already tryed to download the oficial driver from the nvidea site,
[20:51] <rafael-> but when I install it, the ubuntu become unable to load the X and it drive to text mode. :( I saw a lot of peoples with that same problem on google, but I couldn't find any solution that work here. ;/
[20:52] <KM0201> rafael-: first things first, get rid of wubi unless you want to brick your new notebook.
[20:53] <rafael-> KM0201, I tryed without wubi first, with the same iso file, and I couldn't install it.
[20:54] <KM0201> rafael-: then you're doing something wrong, Wubi is definitely not hte answer....
[20:54] <rafael-> now it's working, but I'm having this problem with my video card
[20:54] <naoshige> Hi, I'm trying to watch http://video.pbs.org/video/1752557302/ but am getting this "We're sorry, this program is not available in your region due to rights restrictions" - what's the best workaround to this? Set up a Squid proxy server on a U.S. box and use it through my web browser?
[20:54] <KM0201> rafael-: remove wubi... please, its for the children
[20:54] <naoshige> Hidemyass.com didn't work..
[20:54] <aeon-ltd> naoshige: thats not ubuntu support
[20:55] <JoseeAntonioR> anyone here who can help me?
[20:55] <jrib> JoseeAntonioR: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[20:56] <KM0201> naoshige: where areyou located?.. its working fine for me.
[20:56] <JoseeAntonioR> when i boot ubuntu normally, it runs as a command line, and i need to turn the power off and then boot in recovery mode and select failsafe mode. is there any way that i can boot normally and it boots as ubuntu, not as terminal?
[20:56] <rafael-> well, first I want to see that working... I will not try to format again without see that working.
[20:56] <naoshige> KM0201: norway, you?
[20:57] <KM0201> naoshige: ah, i see.. US... i don't know why it wouldn't work in norway
[20:57] <KM0201> rafael-: proceed at your own risk... you've been warned
[20:57] <sockPants> hi all
[20:57] <jrib> JoseeAntonioR: is gdm failing to start for some reason or you just don't have gdm installed?
[20:57] <sockPants> i'm reading a page to boot the ubuntu live cd from the local network rather than use the normal netboot which requires internet access
[20:58] <sockPants> and it refers to ubuntu-installer/casper
[20:58] <sockPants> but that isn't there
[20:58] <d4n1s> a
[20:58] <d4n1s> Hi
[20:58] <JoseeAntonioR> jrib: gdm? what's that? i don't know... but when i run in failsafe mode it works, now i'm using ubuntu normally because i've booted in failsafe mode

[20:58] <d4n1s> I cant get it
[20:58] <rafael-> it's make no sense that I can't work with Wubi... I only need ubuntu for a fell scientifics applications
[20:58] <sockPants> how do i boot the live-cd properly from the network
[20:58] <KM0201> sockPants: why don't you just boot the ubuntu live cd/usb.. hook up to a router, then come here w/ any questions you have.
[20:58] <d4n1s> ?\
[20:59] <sockPants> KM0201: i have no usb/cd boot option, only pxe. it works, but i have no internet access on the box and the normal installer wants to download everything. i have the iso so i should be able to boot from it i just don't know what options to pu
[20:59] <sockPants> t
[20:59] <KM0201> sockPants: dunno, never used a pxe boot.
[20:59] <BuMpIc> is there somwthing like total commander in windows for linux?
[21:00] <jrib> JoseeAntonioR: what happens when you run « sudo service gdm start » after a normal boot?
[21:00] <jrib> BuMpIc: mc or gnome-commander?
[21:00] <JoseeAntonioR> i don't know... i can try if you wait me
[21:00] <BuMpIc> i dont know.Wich is the better?
[21:00] <jrib> BuMpIc: one is gui, the other is not.  Try them and use what you like
[21:01] <d4n1s> I need montavista for ubuntu any ideas on how to download it?
[21:01] <BuMpIc> pls can you tell me what is gui?
[21:01] <jrib> BuMpIc: Graphical User Interface
[21:01] <d4n1s> Bumpic its graphic enviroment
[21:01] <DThought> graphical user interface, BuMpIc
[21:01] <BuMpIc> and if something is not gui?:D
[21:01] <BuMpIc> then its lieke terminal?
[21:01] <d4n1s> bumpic than its dos
[21:01] <jrib> BuMpIc: mc is a command-line curses file manager, yes
[21:01] <BuMpIc> oh understand
[21:01] <BuMpIc> i like gui then better
[21:02] <d4n1s> ANY IDEAS ON HOW TO INSTALL MONTAVISTA ON UBUNTU?
[21:02] <Maximillion> how do I move a file from one directory to another from the command line?
[21:02] <jrib> d4n1s: fix your capslock first
[21:02] <jrib> Maximillion: mv one two
[21:02] <jrib> !cli | Maximillion
[21:02] <d4n1s> any ideas on how to install montavista on ubuntu?
[21:02] <BuMpIc> MC is the gui?
[21:02] <jrib> BuMpIc: no
[21:02] <BuMpIc> gnome?
[21:03] <jrib> BuMpIc: gnome-commander
[21:03] <BuMpIc> ok thanx
[21:03] <d4n1s> jrib: do you know how to install montavista on ubuntu?
[21:03] <BuMpIc> do u use this?
[21:03] <jrib> d4n1s: no
[21:03] <jrib> BuMpIc: no
[21:03] <Maximillion> jrib: mv filename directory-name ?
[21:03] <BuMpIc> what do u use?
[21:03] <jrib> Maximillion: sure
[21:03] <jrib> BuMpIc: I just use shell commands

[21:03] <BuMpIc> maybe its better if i learn that?
[21:03] <jrib> !repeat | d4n1s
[21:03] <jrib> BuMpIc: use what works for you
[21:04] <BuMpIc> okay
[21:04] <BuMpIc> and one more lame question.How can i write like  you for me: Bumpic: ...
[21:04] <BuMpIc> :
[21:04] <jrib> !tab | BuMpIc
[21:04] <jrib> BuMpIc: do this: jr<TAB> then write your message
[21:05] <JoseeAntonioR> jrib: i've booted normally
[21:05] <JoseeAntonioR> jrib: without goind into recovery mode
[21:05] <BuMpIc> jrib, :D
[21:05] <BuMpIc> or
[21:05] <jrib> !enter | JoseeAntonioR
[21:05] <JoseeAntonioR> jrib: i think the problem is gone
[21:05] <jrib> JoseeAntonioR: ok
[21:05] <JoseeAntonioR> jrib: now, i have another problem, i'll post it here
[21:06] <BuMpIc> is it a big problem if i dont have swap partition?
[21:06] <jrib> BuMpIc: how much ram do you have?  If you have enough ram for your applications and don't want to hibernate, not having swap is not an issue
[21:06] <aeon-ltd> BuMpIc: no, if you have enough ram, and don't use hibernate, or things apps that cache a lot
[21:06] <BuMpIc> i have 4 GB
[21:06] <goltoof> BuMpIc: based on my limited knowledge, you don't need it with enough ram
[21:07] <goltoof> i like being right :)
[21:07] <jrib> BuMpIc: you should be ok.  If you find yourself low on ram for your usage habits, you can create a swap partition or swap file
[21:07] <JoseeAntonioR> i cannot change my resolution, it's stuck in 1024x768, and i need to use 1280x1024, i've tried editing xorg.conf, sudo dpkg-reconfiure xserver-xorg, xrandr, and still nothing. i have an Intel 82845G Graphics Card
[21:07] <mbeierl> goltoof: hey.  any luck with your disk? ;)
[21:07] <jrib> !swap > BuMpIc
[21:07] <jrib> !fixres > JoseeAntonioR
[21:07] <goltoof> mbeierl:  just got back, so we'll see
[21:07] <BuMpIc> this ubottu is a bot?
[21:08] <JoseeAntonioR> jrib: i've tried everything there and still nothing
[21:08] <python> Haveing a problem playing wma formats videos ..say's I need a plugin...but can not find one .
[21:08] <BuMpIc>     * gnome-commander-<IP_ADDRESS>.tar.gz (4.3 MB)
[21:08] <BuMpIc>     * gnome-commander-<IP_ADDRESS>.tar.bz2 (3.3 MB)
[21:08] <BuMpIc>  what is the difference?
[21:08] <jrib> JoseeAntonioR: you should say exactly what you did and exactly what the result was.  I have to go in a bit though
[21:08] <d4n1s> how to install a .tar.gz
[21:08] <jrib> BuMpIc: you don't want any of that.  Use APT
[21:09] <jrib> !software | BuMpIc
[21:09] <guntbert> BuMpIc: yes, she is our favourite info bot :)
[21:09] <jrib> !restricted | python
[21:09] <BuMpIc> :D
[21:09] <jrib> d4n1s: you avoid it.  What are you trying to install?
[21:09] <goltoof> mbeierl:  i think we covered most of the issue anyway.. it's worse enough i'm using an ntfs drive, i assume it being 3.0 isn't helpign much either
[21:09] <d4n1s> jrib Install GNU binutils
[21:09] <python> thanks
[21:09] <BuMpIc> this !software is a command?
[21:09] <d4n1s> jrib Install uClibc
[21:10] <d4n1s> jrib and Install GNU MP Library
[21:10] <mbeierl> BuMpIc: the difference between the two (just for your information) is the type of compression used when shrinking the two files.  gz = Gnu Zip, and bz2 is Bzip2
[21:10] <amv_> nick amv
[21:10] <BuMpIc> okay  thanx
[21:10] <jrib> d4n1s: binutils is in the repositories.  So is MP.  I don't know about uclibc, but I'd bet that is too.  Use the repositories
[21:10] <JoseeAntonioR> i've added my resolution to xorg.conf, tried to add my resolution with xrandr,  and nothing happens. i've tried with sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and when i reboot it boots normally, without asking me anything. it recognizes my monitor as unknown
[21:10] <BuMpIc> !software
[21:11] <mbeierl> goltoof: I'm pretty sure it's not the fact that it's ntfs that's the problem.  I think there's either hardware or filesystem corruption at play.  I wonder... did this start only after the attempt to rm Sys Vol Info?
[21:11] <jrib> !software | d4n1s
[21:11] <BuMpIc> jrib, what is this   !software?:D
[21:11] <goltoof> mbeierl:  negative, SVI is just one of the folders that can't be removed
[21:11] <jrib> BuMpIc: read the information the bot sent you afterwards
[21:11] <BuMpIc> oh ok
[21:11] <goltoof> mbeierl: that folder didn't even appear until after this problem arose
[21:12] <mbeierl> goltoof: ok, good then. that makes it less likely to be filesystem corruption.  I think it's probably the usb3 then.
[21:12] <Encry9> How do you make spaces in a file name on CLI?
[21:12] <BuMpIc> jrib,  and if i wiill understand this wher will i download the gnome?
[21:13] <goltoof> mbeierl:  what i'd like to figure out is how to just copy everything over to my drive and then format to ext2/4, assuming that'll make the drive work better for ubuntu
[21:13] <Sc0tt> I need to install an open source radeon gfx driver to get 2d and 3d game supported but I keep getting errors when i try the guide.  I love ubuntu but even if i don't use it for gaming I can't full screen videos or enable animations or certain screen savers with this driver.
[21:13] <aeon-ltd> Encry9: you use " quotes when creating it
[21:13] <mbeierl> Encry9: 1) put quotes "around the filename" or 2) use the escape\ character\ like\ so
[21:13] <d4n1s> I cant figure out, can't u just tell me what to type in the terminal to install?
[21:13] <USS_OHIO> yay finally it let me join
[21:13] <rafael-> Hello there... I bought recently a notebook sony vaio vpc f136fm, and I was trying to install ubuntu 10.10 64bits there, with through wubi. After a 250mb of update installed, the system appears to work correctly, but when I tryed to install my video card ( Nvidia Geforce GT 425M ) the sceen stay black when I try to log in. I already tryed to download the oficial driver from the nvidea site,
[21:13] <rafael-> but when I install it, the ubuntu become unable to load the X and it drive to text mode. :( I saw a lot of peoples with that same problem on google, but I couldn't find any solution that work here. ;/
[21:13] <sockPants> Encry9: 'escape' them with a \, for example /tmp/Space\ Space\ Name.txt
[21:13] <mbeierl> goltoof: how to pull everything back off the external hard drive, you mean?
[21:13] <goltoof> mbeierl:  yes
[21:13] <Encry9> aeon-ltd: mbeierl sockPants thanks :)
[21:13] <jrib> BuMpIc: yes, start synaptic from your menu and search and install gnome-commander
[21:13] <USS_OHIO> can someone tell me where i can get my windows files to bring into ubuntu?
[21:14] <aeon-ltd> Encry9: you're welcome
[21:14] <goltoof> mbeierl:  the dirs that can't be removed, also can't be copied over to my pc
[21:14] <goltoof> mbeierl:  and if it's ntfs, i probably can't format to ext.. ?
[21:14] <BuMpIc> jrib, ok and there is an install in my desktop which was necessary when i installed the os.Can i delete it?
[21:15] <Arleas_> hello there
[21:15] <mbeierl> goltoof: ok, gonna do a quick google on filesystem / external drive recovery.  I came across something not too long ago.  And, yes you can reformat, but you lose ALL the data when you do that
[21:15] <Arleas_> i'm looking for some help!
[21:15] <bluedust> does anyone know how to format a external wd drive for linux and windows
[21:15] <goltoof> mbeierl:  precisely why i'd like to copy it over first ;)
[21:15] <arooni-mobile> hi folks.... my ubuntu 10.04 box just froze (not responsive to mouse/keyboard).  this usually happens once a day but cpu temp is only 42*c (core 2 duo).  im on my laptop now; is there anything i can do to find out WHY its freezing (before i just restart and hope for the best again)
[21:15] <coz_> bluedust,  doesnt  /system/administration/disk utility help with that?
[21:16] <Arleas_> i've used ntfsresize to shrink a partition, but i can't seem to grow the partition!
[21:16] <LeGambitteur> Hi all
[21:16] <bluedust> hey coz_
[21:16] <BuMpIc> jrib,  i cant find this synaptic
[21:16] <bluedust> i have never used linux b4 3 weeks ago
[21:17] <USS_OHIO> what folder in ubuntu do i go through to find my windows files?
[21:17] <bluedust> still learning
[21:17] <sl33k_> hi, i am on 10.04,sometime back I posted about the problem about sound output both ways(speaker and headphone)  even after i plug in the headphones. After taking some help from here it got fixed. But after restarting the machine the problem still exist? Any help appreciated!
[21:17] <nikitas13> hi all!
[21:17] <Elihai> ?
[21:17] <coz_> bluedust,  understood...well if you are on ubuntu at this moment...then look under  /System/Administration/Disk Utility    that should get you started with formtting an external drive
[21:17] <coz_> bluedust,   you dont want to format it at ext3 or 4 if you are using this for windows as well...probably fat
[21:18] <feyd> can anyone help with integrating MPlayer in Chromium?
[21:19] <bluedust> so if i format it as fat 32 windows will understand
[21:19] <coz_> bluedust,  yes it will
[21:19] <LeGambitteur> arooni-mobile: try to boot using a livecd, that's what I do to findout if it's a hardware problem or a software one.
[21:19] <sl33k_>  hi, i am on 10.04,sometime back I posted about the problem about sound output both ways(speaker and headphone)  even after i plug in the headphones. After taking some help from here it got fixed. But after restarting the machine the problem still exist? Any help appreciated! How to go fix this?
[21:19] <arooni-mobile> LeGambitteur, what will that tell me
[21:19] <mbeierl> goltoof: ah, yes that was the one: photorec.  it looks for "known file headers"  and attempts to pull the content off the device: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery
[21:19] <g_o_o> sl33k_, system, preferences, sound then choose output tab, then at the bottom choose connector analog output
[21:20] <arooni-mobile> LeGambitteur, i mean i can use the computer for about 24 hours and it freezes again
[21:20] <kenguest> hmm. any ideas how I might be able to always get the icon for a portable external harddrive to always display in the same position (specified by the user) on the desktop? Horribly on-topic I know...
[21:20] <g_o_o> sl33k_, does that fix your problem?
[21:20] <kelsey> I have a computer running Ubuntu 9.04 that connects to the internet via ethernet and to an internal network via a wireless adapter. If the internal network is accessed first when the network is started then I cannot access ethernet. Any ideas?
[21:20] <goltoof> mbeierl:  soo, where to start?
[21:21] <kenguest> 9.10 I think
[21:21] <mbeierl> goltoof: ddresuce (the gnu one) is another good option - it tries to pull the raw partition onto your local filesystem and then you can mount it
[21:21] <mbeierl> goltoof: how much space do you have of direct attached storage?
[21:21] <g_o_o> kelsey, are the external connection and internal connections on different subnets?
[21:21] <sockPants> i get an nfs permission denied error, where can i fix this?
[21:21] <BuMpIc> why the terminal doesnt recognize Isusb?
[21:22] <d4n1s> how to install a tar.bz2 file?
[21:22] <goltoof> mbeierl:  enough
[21:22] <aeon-ltd> BuMpIc: LSUSB, its a l
[21:22] <BuMpIc> oh
[21:22] <BuMpIc> :D
[21:22] <BuMpIc> ok thanx
[21:22] <kelsey> g_o_o: I'm fairly certain they are.
[21:22] <jsebean> hello everyone
[21:22] <sl33k_> g_o_o: there is only this radio button -- internal-analog-audio-stereo
[21:22] <jsebean> can someone help me editing the php.ini file in ubuntu server?
[21:22] <USS_OHIO> can someone please tell me where i can find my windows files in ubuntu
[21:23] <LeGambitteur> arooni-mobile: I'v got the same problem with my pentium IV, with that I'v fount that it was not a file system or any modification I'v done that causes the problem, so I'v checked all the hardware and finally found that it was the graphic card.
[21:23] <aeon-ltd> d4n1s: ok long story short you don't, they are what you'd call tar balls, you extract and compile them
[21:23] <arooni-mobile> LeGambitteur, how did you check all hard ware?
[21:23] <g_o_o> sl33k_, beneath that it says connector, drop down box choose analog output
[21:23] <mbeierl> goltoof: enough to copy the entire partition of the USB drive over, and then extract a copy of the data?  (ie: if it's a 200gb drive that is 50% full, you need 200gb + 100gb for the data after)
[21:23] <BuMpIc> i formatted my pendrive form NTFS into EXT3 but my linux doesnt see him so i cant see it in gnome.Why is that?
[21:23] <goltoof> mbeierl:  well, the usb drive is 1tb, local is only 750gb
[21:23] <goltoof> mbeierl:  so, this may not work?
[21:23] <jsebean> can someone help me editing the php.ini file in ubuntu server?
[21:24] <Stylles> Personal anyone know how I change the login screen of ubuntu?
[21:24] <d4n1s> aeon-ltd I try to but I get compile errors
[21:24] <csgradvt> I need help in installing wubi in win 7 ... I am getting retval=1 while trying to install it
[21:24] <d4n1s> wtf is going on with linux
[21:24] <csgradvt> I can provide the trace as well
[21:24] <g_o_o> kelsey, when connected wirelessly you are on a different subnet from the external connection
[21:24] <goltoof> mbeierl:  the drive is not full, but still it needs to yank the full partition?
[21:24] <d4n1s> 10000000 times stick with ur linux, with 2 clicks u can do pretty much everything!
[21:24] <mbeierl> goltoof: urg.  no, but maybe we can run ddresuce on the drive without making a local copy
[21:24] <d4n1s> with ur windows*
[21:24] <sl33k_> g_o_o: its already analog output
[21:25] <g_o_o> kelsey, you can edit you routing table to see the other subnet
[21:25] <Sc0tt> Any idea why my headphone jack doesn't work.  Using ubuntu 10.10
[21:25] <g_o_o> sl33k_,
[21:25] <mbeierl> goltoof: the premise is to remove the content as quickly as possible without using the disk any further - that's the reason for the first copy.  So, what device is the drive attached as?
[21:25] <d4n1s> sudo apt-get windows7
[21:25] <LeGambitteur> arooni-mobile: by removing all the stuf I'v added before (modem card, raid controller card, ...), checking the voltages in the bios monitor...
[21:25] <g_o_o> sl33k_, open terminal type alsamixer and check if the channels are muted
[21:25] <mbeierl> goltoof: that is the real question.  See it might not even show up as a /dev/sdX device if it's the fuser mount thing
[21:25] <Mosterd> What is the difference between a window manager and a desktop environment?
[21:25] <goltoof> mbeierl: /dev/sdb1
[21:25] <kelsey> g_o_o: Yes
[21:26] <goltoof> mbeierl:  no, it shows, but ddrescue requires the new media to be larger that the fail disk
[21:26] <Mosterd> !ubottu windowmanager
[21:26] <mbeierl> goltoof: that rocks!  good.  ok, let's install ddrescue from that site I sent:  sudo apt-get install gddrescue
[21:26] <csgradvt> hi again
[21:27] <USS_OHIO> ah yes after hours of begging for help and getting absolutly none "thanks by the way" i have found what i was looking for accidently
[21:27] <g_o_o> kelsey, check man route for more information
[21:27] <csgradvt> I need help in wubi install ... any1?
[21:27] <sl33k_> g_o_o: master 74<>74 ---- pcm 100<>100
[21:27] <mbeierl> goltoof: that is if the disk itself is unreadable.  we might be able to do this another way... hang on a moment...?
[21:28] <ThatDudeButch> hey guys
[21:28] <kelsey> g_o_o: Alright I will. Thanks.
[21:28] <g_o_o> sl33k_, do the channels say MM at the bottom?
[21:28] <goltoof> mbeierl: i confuse... i got 200gb on the fail disk.. oh oko
[21:28] <ThatDudeButch> anyone personally had a "No root file system detected" error before?
[21:28] <BuMpIc> how can i make that if i  double click to a pdf then it will opened wih my pdf viewer?
[21:28] <sl33k_> g_o_o: no
[21:29] <mbeierl> goltoof: going down that list ... "foremost - Foremost can recover files from an image of the drive, or from the drive directly"  Let's try using formost to read the drive instead of fuse
[21:29] <g_o_o> sl33k_, when did the sound stop working?
[21:29] <mbeierl> goltoof: sudo apt-get install foremost
[21:29] <aeon-ltd> BuMpIc: right click, open with, always open with this application (or similar)
[21:29] <sl33k_> g_o_o: after restarting
[21:30] <g_o_o> sl33k_, was there sound at logon?
[21:30] <BuMpIc> aeon-ltd,  thank you
[21:30] <mbeierl> goltoof: and then it appears to be simple enough: "sudo foremost -i /dev/sdb -o /recovery/foremost" where /recovery/foremost is a directory that you create, or use "-o ~/recovered_data" or so instead
[21:31] <sl33k_> g_o_o: ya it was there. The problem is that after putting headphones the sound also comes from the laptop speaker
[21:31] <LeGambitteur> need help plz : every time I reboot the system I need to change visal effects so I can get the windows border, boutons, .... How to fix that one time for all ?
[21:32] <sl33k_> g_o_o: in addition to the headphone output
[21:32] <aeon-ltd> LeGambitteur: are you using compiz?
[21:32] <LeGambitteur> aeon-ltd: yas
[21:32] <g_o_o> sl33k_, ah ok and if you mute the laptops speakers what happens?
[21:32] <goltoof> mbeierl:  can't umount sdb1.. busy?
[21:32] <aeon-ltd> LeGambitteur: alt-f2, compiz --replace  --- after this it should just remember next boot
[21:32] <goltoof> how do i make it not busy?
[21:33] <sl33k_> g_o_o: mutes like normal
[21:33] <aeon-ltd> LeGambitteur: "compiz --replace"
[21:33] <LeGambitteur> aeon-ltd: thx a lot ;)
[21:33] <mbeierl> goltoof: that's interesting.  so let's see what is using it: "sudo lsof | grep sdb"
[21:34] <goltoof> mbeierl:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/560741/
[21:35] <ubunturocks3> hi friends
[21:36] <mbeierl> goltoof: Ah. of course - the thing that is using sdb1 is the ntfs mount program.  So, what directory does it show up as "mount | grep sdb1" - then use that to grep the output of lsof.  Sorry 'bout that.
[21:36] <BuMpIc> if in open with it needs other.. and i have to write something into the aplication area what i have to write?
[21:36] <aeon-ltd> BuMpIc: the path to the application you want or just the application name
[21:37] <goltoof> mbeierl: /dev/sdb1 on /media/My Passport type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096,default_permissions)
[21:37] <mbeierl> goltoof: so , try - sudo lsof | grep "My Passport"
[21:38] <sl33k_> g_o_o: i think i have disturbed the alsamixer settings, what are recommended/default values?
[21:38] <goltoof> mbeierl:  silly me, i had the dir open in another terminal
[21:38] <mbeierl> goltoof: that's what the lsof is for :) it happens to me ALL THE TIME!
[21:39] <BuMpIc> aeon-ltd,  and if   the path of the file? how i can write it?
[21:39] <goltoof> still can't mount to recovery
[21:39] <aeon-ltd> BuMpIc: the path as in "/usr/bin/applicationname" oe wherever the app is located
[21:39] <goltoof> mbeierl:
[21:39] <jsebean> can someone help me editing the php.ini file in ubuntu server?
[21:39] <BuMpIc> aeon-ltd, ok ty
[21:40] <goltoof> jsebean:  try #php
[21:40] <cannonfodder> can someone help me...i have an 8 gig flash drive with bootable ubuntu, and i also want to put bootable DBAN on it without erasing what i already have on it.
[21:40] <mbeierl> goltoof: how so?  cannot umount the /media/My Passport or formost -i /dev/sdb1 cannot read it?
[21:40] <Ronnie> i have a problem merging 2 branches: https://code.launchpad.net/~ronnie.vd.c/loco-directory/570613 into https://code.launchpad.net/~loco-directory-dev/loco-directory/0.2 . It looks like a few files from rev 345 (urls.py and views.py) fail to merge

[21:41] <cannonfodder> can someone help me...i have an 8 gig flash drive with bootable ubuntu, and i also want to put bootable DBAN on it without erasing what i already have on it.
[21:41] <Ronnie> those files show no conflict nor modified tag

[21:43] <ylmson> is there any way to prevent XTerm from using bold font?
[21:43] <BuMpIc> aeon-ltd,  is there any search modul to find the application easier?
[21:43] <sl33k_> guise what are the typical settings for alsamixer?
[21:44] <goltoof> mbeierl:  brillient!
[21:44] <mbeierl> goltoof: it's working ?!?  YES!
[21:44] <ylmson> I already use a bold font for XTerm, I want it to just use a different color for bold text, rather than making the text even _bolder_
[21:44] <aeon-ltd> BuMpIc: not without knowing its executable name
[21:44] <goltoof> mbeierl:  like a charm!
[21:46] <mbeierl> goltoof: then I suspect that there is some sort of filesystem damage after all, but at the directory structure level, not necessarily the file data level.  Reformat is a good idea at this time, but ... I'd still think you would like to get to the root cause at some point before trusting that disk again.
[21:46] <goltoof> mbeierl:  looks like this will take a while... but after i get all this it's on to reformat, re-backup, and finally reinstall
[21:46] <goltoof> mbeierl:  you have officially made my day sir
[21:46] <sl33k_> what are the typical setting for alsamixer?
[21:46] <ylmson> okay, found it...setting xterm*boldMode: false
[21:47] <mbeierl> goltoof: good to know.  Btw, I've got an external disk at home that I'd like to recover, so this saved my day too!
[21:47] <goltoof> mbeierl:  yea, best way to learn is to teach, i find
[21:48] <mbeierl> goltoof: another thing that can take some time is to do a surface scan of the disk, looking for bad sectors.  A destructive test is okay at the time of formatting.  I'm going to do a search for a surface scan utility for this...
[21:48] <goltoof> mbeierl:  you don't think it being ntfs is the problem?
[21:48] <mbeierl> goltoof: it IS possible, but... it's data, I'd rather prefer to be sure before using the disk again, just in case.
[21:48] <feyd> can I configure chromium to open an external program on video URLs?
[21:49] <mbeierl> goltoof: here's a non-destructive surface scan: sudo badblocks -nvs /dev/sdb
[21:49] <mbeierl> goltoof: if you've got some time to kill :) and you want to be really sure of the disk
[21:50] <mbeierl> goltoof: (from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FaultyHardware)

[22:04] <sockPants> hi all, i'm having trouble booting a live cd over the network. it's working great to some extent but it drops me back to an initramfs prompt.
[22:04] <sockPants> casper.log shows 'cant umount /root/sys: no such file or dir' and similar errors
[22:04] <gunndawg> mikebot, there is a section on the ubuntu website that tells you how to do that
[22:04] <sockPants> the last error is 'chroot: can't execute 'debconf-copydb': no such ...'
[22:04] <ProgrammerJoel> .
[22:04] <mikebot> Sc0tt: Thank you! When I boot from usb, I /briefly/ see a symbol at the bottom center of the screen, and then the screen goes black and a bunch of text scrolls (like a terminal screen) and then it just stops altogether and freezes.
[22:05] <mikebot> gunndawg: I'm having a problem with it
[22:05] <axsel> I need someone who has Spotify Premium and uses despotify. Can you get playlists from your client? Mine crashes, and it is very important to me to know if it's a global problem.
[22:05] <gunndawg> mikebot, that sounds like a bad image file on the USB stick to me
[22:06] <mikebot> gunndawg: I did the md5 thing and it came out correct
[22:06] <mbeierl> !ask | Spice-boy
[22:06] <mikebot> gunndawg: I got the file from the torrent, and I installed it again
[22:06] <jocrawfo> Good Evening/Afternoon/Morning everyone :)
[22:06] <mikebot> gunndawg: I also formatted the drive to fat32
[22:07] <gunndawg> mikebot: its best to let ubuntu format it self as it doesnt use NTFS or FAT32, it uses EXT3
[22:07] <mbeierl> gunndawg: ;) it actually uses ext4 now ...
[22:07] <mikebot> gunndawg: I mean the usb drive...
[22:07] <neil_d> I am having trouble with rdesktop... when logging into a server that was working fine... rdesktop doesn't finish its init. the last thing it prints is 'sending login info to sesman' then it hangs... I have tried a 'sudo /etc/init.d/xdrp restart' ... to no effect!  what is wrong?
[22:07] <mikebot> gunndawg: Not the partition I was going to install to
[22:07] <gunndawg> axsel: is spotify a good music player? I still need to load one on here
[22:08] <gunndawg> mikebot: I am not to sure then
[22:08] <axsel> gunndawg: Best there ever is. It is my number one choice for _all_ platforms
[22:08] <gunndawg> axsel: cool, thx
[22:09] <mongy> mikebot, when you see the small symbol at the first couple of seconds booting, press a key, you get a menu, then press (F6 ? i think) and choose other options like noacpi and or nomodeset
[22:09] <mikebot> mongy: f6?
[22:10] <noisemaker> Hi guys :)
[22:10] <mongy> mikebot, when you press a key, you will get a menu and you will see what to press
[22:10] <mongy> mikebot, its either F5 or F6
[22:10] <noisemaker> I have a challenge for you :)
[22:11] <PsehoZ> Русскии есть
[22:11] <FredGeek> where can i download Mike Galbraith patch for linux kernel 2.6.37???
[22:11] <noisemaker> I want my laptop's webcam to work ... But I can't enable it :( (fn+f9 not working, no bios option and no windows)
[22:11] <BuMpIc> conky is  a cool stuff lol
[22:11] <Sc0tt> what does etc stand for/mean?
[22:11] <Spice-boy> i try to install unbuntu 10.10 but... but after I recognize my hdd is DR-DOS] A: \> What should I write further to continue the instalation procces
[22:11] <klcs> if under netstat -rn the wrong device is listed for a destination, how do I change it to the correct one?
[22:12] <mikebot> mongy: OK, I'll try that, thank you!
[22:12] <gaz|schmooster> Sc0tt, /etc, do you mean?
[22:12] <jocrawfo> Spice-boy, oh boy good ol Dr-Dos
[22:13] <jocrawfo> you have to make a boot disk and boot to that to uninstall, as for the process outline I don't recall, google for dr dos user guide it is pretty good
[22:13] <mikebot> mongy: Oh, I press any key, and then I'll know what to press?
[22:13] <gergio> hi guys - I'm having some trouble with a display driver that is preventing me doing anything with my system.  I just installed the most recent ATI driver for my graphics card from the ATI site and now my display won't work at all.  Is there some way to wipe all drivers/display settings back to default?  Also, is there something I can press to stop Ubuntu booting straight into a gui?  Can't figure out what to press and when to access grub menu
[22:13] <noisemaker> I want my laptop's webcam to work ... But I can't enable it :( (fn+f9 not working, no bios option and no windows)
[22:14] <Spice-boy> ok thank you jocrawfo
[22:14] <KirkMcDonald> gergio: ctrl + alt + F1 should put you in a terminal.
[22:14] <gaz|schmooster> gergio, backup & remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf, perhaps? (not speaking from a position of authority, here)
[22:14] <ThinkT510> noisemaker: do you have cheese installed?
[22:14] <mongy> mikebot, when the screen goes purple and you see the keyboard image at the bottom, press a key.. then yes, you see a menu, at the bottom tells you F6 for other options or something, choose it, a small menu appears, select noacpi
[22:14] <gunndawg> axsel: I cant seem to find spotify using apt-get or in the package manager, how did you obtain it, and is it free?
[22:15] <mikebot> mongy: OK, thank you very much, I'm going to try right now.
[22:15] <neil_d> I am having trouble with rdesktop... when logging into a server that was working fine... rdesktop doesn't finish its init. the last thing it prints is 'sending login info to sesman' then it hangs... I have tried a 'sudo /etc/init.d/xdrp restart' ... to no effect! ... when running from a terminal rdesktop doesn't print anything... what is wrong?
[22:15] <jocrawfo> Spice-boy, what I will tell you is that it appears to be a PITA to remove Dr-Dos
[22:15] <gergio> KirkMcDonald, thanks - gonna try that now.
[22:15] <axsel> gunndawg: Check out spotify.com - They have a beta linux version (and you know it is not an mp3 player right? It is a service for streaming music from their servers)
[22:15] <mongy> mikebot, if that works, it just means you wont be able to shutdown properly.. meaning when you shut down you will then have to power off yourself :(
[22:15] <BluesKaj> BuMpIc, kpdf works well as mentioned, I see that acroread seems to be deprcated for maverick ..I run kde so okular works as well
[22:15] <hdon> hi all :) what webkit browsers are available in the latest LTS?
[22:15] <gaz|schmooster> neil_d, sounds like the host you're connecting to is hung or not resolvable? can you ping it?
[22:16] <commodore_> hello all
[22:16] <gunndawg> axsel: ah ok, I am looking for a decent mp3 player much like winamp on windows
[22:16] <ravenclaw> hi, I installed an 10.10 server and am now unable to access my aes encrypted (without luks) disk, cryptdisks_start works but i cant mount (xfs) it, what can i try ? has anything changed ? default options for encryption ?
[22:16] <mikebot> mongy: Is there a reason it's doing this? I've never had this problem with ubuntu
[22:16] <mongy> mikebot,  try it anyway... it might be something else alltogether also.
[22:16] <mikebot> mongy: Well, let me try it first...brb
[22:16] <neil_d> gaz|schmooster: I am currently ssh into it now!
[22:16] <commodore_> who speek french ?
[22:16] <BuMpIc> BluesKaj, ok but  i cant     do that pdfs  in the gnome commander automatically opened with it
[22:16] <axsel> gunndawg: then you don't want spotify :)
[22:16] <gergio> KirkMcDonald - that keyboard shortcut does make my screen go blank as though it were switching, but then no terminal appears.
[22:16] <Sc0tt> yeah I meant /etc
[22:16] <gunndawg> axsel: can you recommend a good mp3 player?
[22:17] <gaz|schmooster> hdon, `apt-cache search webkit`
[22:17] <gergio> gunndawg, spotify for linux as far as I know is only for paid subscribers.
[22:17] <hdon> gaz|schmooster, thanks for the suggestion
[22:17] <neil_d> gaz|schmooster: ping times about 700ms
[22:17] <ubu10> i need help... in google chrome and chromium browser.. when i try to go fullscreen on a video, is say that flash plugin crashes
[22:17] <axsel> gunndawg well not really. Check out mpd. or the ubuntu wiki, they would have some other examples
[22:17] <klcs> how do you edit the Iface values in the information listed for netstat? The wrong one is getting assigned.
[22:18] <noisemaker> ThinkT510, Actually I cannot go that far, the camera is not listed in lsusb because it's internally disabled ... I just need a way to enable it again...
[22:18] <gergio> KirkMcDonald, Is there some way to halt the boot process and just go into a prompt before it attempts to load X?
[22:18] <gaz|schmooster> neil_d,  hmm, sorry, out of ideas then. basic host problems? full disc/high load?
[22:18] <gaz|schmooster> hdon, np
[22:19] <ubu10>  i need help... in google chrome and chromium browser.. when i try to go fullscreen on a video, is say that flash plugin crashes. CAN ANYONE HELP...?
[22:19] <gizmobay> How do you apply a patch file?
[22:20] <tlir_> after installing winxp on a 130gb hd with only 99gb left the ubuntu 10.10 install stage allocate drive space prompts to install alongside other OS but it's just showing a total of 30gb or so, and not the free space of about 100gb...
[22:20] <neil_d> gaz|schmooster: load about 0.77, disk at about 3%
[22:21] <ThinkT510> gunndawg: audacious
[22:21] <ThinkT510> ScOtt: editable text files
[22:21] <Sc0tt> ah thanks Think
[22:21] <gunndawg> ThinkT510: thanks
[22:21] <gaz|schmooster> gergio, keep trying to hit "ctrl + alt + F1" if X is in the way. aside from that, the "first thing that happens" when your machine boots, after the BIOS checks, is GRUB starting - you may have a very small delay in which to affect it's running, but hold SHIFT
[22:21] <gaz|schmooster> "The user can interrupt the boot process and display the menu by holding down the SHIFT key until the menu displays."
[22:21] <gaz|schmooster> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[22:22] <gaz|schmooster> neil_d, some crazy config thing, is my next best guess :)
[22:22] <ThinkT510> gunndawg, ScOtt: np
[22:22] <gergio> gaz|schmooster, thanks for that advice - I'm going to try that now
[22:22] <gaz|schmooster> gizmobay, go into the appropriate directory, enter: `patch -p0 <patchfile`
[22:22] <gaz|schmooster> as it says in `man patch`
[22:23] <gaz|schmooster> gergio, good luck
[22:23] <ravenclaw> can anyone help me mount my existing (created with 7.04) encrypted disk in 10.10 ?
[22:24] <gizmobay> Nothing happens I just get taken back to the command prompt

[22:25] <species> lol
[22:25] <aeon-ltd> kenneth_reitz: already has by the flood bot
[22:25] <species> dude, this channel is full of liberals and leftists
[22:25] <gaz|schmooster> Sc0tt, ThinkT510 - there's contention on that issue. Bell Labs' early documentation has it "clearly commented as 'etcetera directory'" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard
[22:25] <gunndawg> species: !ot
[22:25] <goltoof> seriously, isn't there a way to drop any message containing the words "kunwon1"?   Mods, please comment...
[22:25] <gunndawg> species: try to stay on topic
[22:25] <gergio> gaz|schmooster, thanks - that got me into a root command prompt - is there a command I can run now to restore all the driver/graphics settings back to default?
[22:26] <ahklerner> how can i fix my panel, computer was acting really slow, i went to reboot and now no panel shows up
[22:26] <ahklerner> after reboot
[22:26] <goltoof> ahklerner:  try typing gnome-panel &  in terminal
[22:26] <gaz|schmooster> gizmobay, that probably means it's done something useful - can you check for changes in the files referenced in the patch?
[22:26] <Dr_Willis> goltoof:  in you irc client? Most are scriptable and can do filterin.. if you read their docs/.learn the advanced features of them
[22:26] <ahklerner> running xfce4-panel gives me yuck default one
[22:26] <mikebot> mongy: Ugh... so hitting a key worked, and the menu came up, but I tried the noaspci thing, and tried to both (1) run from usb, and (2) install, and go the same terminal-freeze thing...
[22:26] <Sc0tt> gaz|schmooster: thanks for that link good info there!!
[22:26] <gizmobay> the date of the file didn't change. SHould it?
[22:27] <goltoof> Dr_Willis:  i was thinking for the mods to drop the messages automatically so no one else would have to see them, but thanks for that tip
[22:27] <g_o_o> klcs, just edit the routing table on that device
[22:27] <mikebot> mongy: It froze twice on this: 6.881158] [drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810
[22:27] <mongy> mikebot, tried using the alternate installer?  it will run from usb
[22:27] <ahklerner> sorry im in wrong channel
[22:27] <Dr_Willis> goltoof:  the mods cant filter out what othes are saying..
[22:27] <strk> liferea: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libwebkit-1.0.so.2: undefined symbol: soup_content_sniffer_get_type
[22:27] <goltoof> Dr_Willis:  i suppose that's for the best
[22:27] <gaz|schmooster> gergio, I was thinking you might be able to backup & remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf - X will default to trying its damndest to get working, then any specific config you had in there you can toy around with later
[22:27] <ubu10>  i need help... in google chrome and chromium browser.. when i try to go fullscreen on a video, is say that flash plugin crashes
[22:27] <mikebot> mongy: How do I do that?
[22:28] <gaz|schmooster> Sc0tt, np :)
[22:28] <goltoof> ubu10:  usually a resource issue
[22:28] <gergio> gaz|schmooster, right - will try that now.  thanks again.
[22:28] <gaz|schmooster> gergio, don't thank me until I've been useful :D
[22:28] <goltoof> ubu10:  ps, chromium less stable than chrome.. try ff too
[22:29] <klcs> g_o_o: I do not know how to do that. Any pointers?
[22:30] <gaz|schmooster> ubu10, there's a chance it's display driver or window manager related, if you can't find other bug reports about it:  try another window manager, or different display driver, if you can?
[22:30] <mongy> mikebot, sounds like a video card thing, hmm.  Do you have access to an ubuntu/linux machine?
[22:30]  * gaz|schmooster is away: I'm busy
[22:30] <mikebot> mongy: unfortunately no :/ It just broke
[22:31] <CaneToad> does anybody know of some network hardware that actually reliably works in linux?  I have Intel Pro/Wireless 4965 and after a period of use, it just magically stops working.... and I have realtek RTL8111/8168B ethernet hardware and it randomly stops working too.  And they stop working at different times.  I've never had them both stop working at the same time.  Honestly Ubuntu 10.10 needs rebooting more than win 95.
[22:31] <mikebot> mongy: SO I had to buy this new machine -- lenovo s10-3... maybe the resolution of it is the bad thing?
[22:31] <gergio> gaz|schmooster, unless I'm doing something completely ridiculous, there is no /etc/X11/xorg.conf - the file just isn't there
[22:32] <mongy> mikebot,  is it an intel video card/
[22:32] <mikebot> mongy: Um, not sure... let me try to check
[22:32] <KM0201> CaneToad: i'd suspect some sort of hardware issue.. cuz i have that same realtek device, and it never has caused me a problem
[22:32] <CaneToad> KM0201: works perfectly under win (??????)
[22:33] <Sc0tt> Yeah i'm having gfx card issues too read guides but can't figure out if the xorg file is obsolete or what seems ubuntu 10.10 doesn't have it by defatult
[22:33] <KM0201> CaneToad: dunno..t hat is strange.
[22:34] <mikebot> mongy: IS this it? 10.1" 1024x600 LED Display (16:9); Intel GMA 3150 Graphics
[22:34] <gergio> gaz|schmooster, just using aptitude to purge the whole xserver-xorg package and reinstalling it
[22:34] <goltoof> CaneToad:  which makes me think it's a driver issue, but yeah sometimes a new card does the trick
[22:34] <secoif> #join ##politics
[22:34] <secoif> bah
[22:34] <mongy> mikebot, yeah....  I thought maybe 'nomodeset' might have worked
[22:34] <CaneToad> goltoof: new card == new PC [notebook]
[22:34] <goltoof> CaneToad:  oic
[22:34] <mikebot> mongy: UNR is not compatible with INterl vid cards?
[22:35] <mongy> mikebot, it is...
[22:35] <goltoof> CaneToad:  does your network connections icon disappear until you reboot? i've experienced that before
[22:35] <Sc0tt> anyone have any experience with changing propriety radeon drivers?  I'm stumped
[22:35] <VCoolio> gergio: newer Xorg doesn't need xorg.conf but it will obey it if you create one
[22:36] <ash_> i need to now how to reinstall the ubuntu 10.10 default kernel
[22:36] <CaneToad> goltoof: dunno about icons, but dhclient on the network interface can't bring it up
[22:36] <mongy> mikebot, just the desktop installer seems to have issues with intel video cards.
[22:36] <mongy> mikebot,  is this 10.10 netbook ??
[22:36] <mikebot> mongy: Is there another way to install it? There's an exe in the main usb folder...
[22:37] <mongy> mikebot, so nomodeset didnt work?
[22:37] <mikebot> mongy: Yeah, 10.10
[22:37] <mongy> mikebot, the netbook version of it ?
[22:37] <mikebot> mongy: Oh, I didn't try nomodeset, I tried to noaspci something
[22:38] <mikebot> mongy: THis is the netbook version
[22:38] <gergio> OK - purging and reinstalling xserver-xorg didn't help.  I'm still getting the Ubuntu splash screen and then just blackness.   Also, after I reinstalled xserver-xorg and ran "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" nothing happened - though I'm not sure if anything was meant to....
[22:38] <mongy> mikebot, nomodeset, then as a last resort, acpi=off
[22:38] <mikebot> mongy: I think the default was on acpi=off
[22:38] <mikebot> mongy: OK, let me try nomodeset
[22:38] <mikebot> mongy: (Thank you *very* much for your help!!)
[22:38] <mikebot> brb
[22:41] <William34> hi
[22:41] <plectrum> Hi, I am trying to make a wireless to ethernet bridge and wonder if hostapd will work with my router
[22:42] <BuMpIc> byebye
[22:43] <gergio> any ideas guys on how to restore my system?  I have purged and reinstalled xserver-xorg to no avail.  There is no xorg.conf for me to delete.  I can get to a root prompt but if I let the boot progress past the splash screen everything goes blank (though I still hear the little drums at the login screen).  If I could just wipe out all graphics settings and go back to the beginning that would be perfect.
[22:44] <plectrum> @gergio try looking at the xservers log to see if it is having problems
[22:45] <sami_> Salam 2 all
[22:46] <_joey> a couple of things: how do I stop auto logout on gnome
[22:47] <Populus> Hello, is there a way for ubuntu not to go in sleepmode whenever I close the lid on my laptop?
[22:47] <_joey> and how to add application manually installed in gnome panel
[22:48] <CaneToad> Populus: have you seen under the power management options System/Preferences/Power Management
[22:48] <ubun>  i need help... in google chrome and chromium browser.. when i try to go fullscreen on a video, is say that flash plugin crashes
[22:48] <gergio> Populus, Yeah - go to System > Preferences > Power management
[22:48] <lolcat> HEllo
[22:48] <gergio> Populus, should give you options on what to do when laptop lid is closed.
[22:48] <lolcat> Can I use the Make Startup Disk to install fedora?
[22:49] <goltoof> lolcat:  try #fedora,  this is ubuntu
[22:50] <DasEi> lolcat : unetbooting rather, though ot here
[22:50] <goltoof> ubun, and in firefox?
[22:50] <VCoolio> _joey: right click 'Applications', edit menu, add entry with right command and icon of your choice
[22:50] <lolcat> goltoof: I am running ubuntu and asking about a program included on your livecd
[22:50] <DasEi> lolcat: unetbootin*
[22:50] <ubun> goltoof: i dont use firefox... in fact i uninstalled it because i liked chrome...
[22:50] <lolcat> DasEi: LiveCD
[22:50] <Populus> Hello, is there a way for ubuntu not to go in sleepmode whenever I close the lid on my laptop?
[22:51] <lolcat> Populus: YEs
[22:51] <xavi_> Why my cooler not start @ ubuntu?
[22:51] <VCoolio> _joey: as a launcher: right click panel, add to panel, custom app launcher and you'll know what to enter
[22:51] <DasEi> lolcat :you are on a live cd ?
[22:51] <skyer2000> i have a question on TightVNC, i've connected to it successfully over the internet
[22:51] <Populus> lolcat: so how do I do it?
[22:51] <skyer2000> and can view my desktop, however I cannot access the internet on that desktop
[22:51] <goltoof> ubun:  lol, uninstall firefox from ubuntu?  wow..
[22:52] <goltoof> ubun:  what are your specs?
[22:52] <goltoof> ubun:  usually it's from lack of resources, in my experience
[22:52] <ubun> it happens every time i try to go to fullscreen...
[22:53] <goltoof> ubun:  specs..
[22:53] <ubun> specs.../
[22:53] <ubun> ?
[22:53] <ubun> computer specs?
[22:53] <lolcat> Populus: Screen saver settings and power saving settings
[22:53] <goltoof> ubun:   your system specifications.. how much ram?
[22:53] <ubun> pfffff..... like 2 or 4 gigs... but it just started happening.
[22:54] <goltoof> ubun:  as i stated, i find the flash plugin will crash on computers with scarce avaailable memory.
[22:54] <_joey> VCoolio: thanks but when I start the application i get a message it can't find application's directory
[22:54] <goltoof> ubun:  or when having too many flash videos open at one time. rarely crashes on good systems
[22:55] <ubun> ,,,, i wonder... because it has been working fine ... for months ....
[22:55] <_joey> start from the panel
[22:55] <VCoolio> _joey: what command did you enter in the box? and what command is that? Try it in a terminal first
[22:55] <ubun> idk
[22:55] <gergio> plectrum, where do I find the log you're referring to?
[22:56] <ash_> i need to now how to reinstall the ubuntu 10.10 default kernel
[22:56] <lorph> I installed ubuntu 10.04 server and I can't get utf8 to display
[22:56] <VCoolio> gergio: /var/log/Xorg.0.log or similar
[22:56] <lorph> am I missing any packages
[22:56] <ash_> please
[22:56] <goltoof> ubun:  well, one good reason NOT to uninstall firefox, or you could test to see if you had this problem in other browsers...
[22:56] <goltoof> ubun:  good to keep multiple browsers for testing purposes
[22:56] <_joey> VCoolio: stata-se it's a commercial application for linux which installed in $HOME/stata
[22:56] <sockPants> waaaaaah sweet ubuntu just booted over the network from a mounted iso on my laptop
[22:56] <lolcat> I am on a live cd, and want to burn a cd. Will ubuntu crash when I remove the disk?
[22:56] <chaos2358> Hi I am running a dual boot laptop ubuntu 10.10 and win xp. I just got an all in one printer "cannon" ubuntu recognized the printer and downloaded/activated the drivers for it but I cant print. when i try the printer is not showing up. can someone help me?
[22:56] <_joey> i can start it from terminal with nor problems
[22:56] <DasEi> ash_: call synaptics and search for linux-image
[22:57] <chaos2358> lolcat yes
[22:57] <VCoolio> _joey: you used the full path, like /home/joey/stata/stata-se ?
[22:57] <_joey> yes
[22:57] <ubun> ill reinstall firefox and see if your right...
[22:58] <lolcat> chaos2358: Instantly
[22:58] <chaos2358> within id say 1 minute or less
[22:58] <raskol> Do cdrom drives have UUID? I can't find /dev/sr0 in /dev/disk/by-uuid/
[22:58] <chaos2358> lolcat id say in under a minute
[22:58] <stevieB> i want to make make sure the laptop stays up when i close the lid; how can i achieve this?
[22:58] <mongy> raskol, /media/
[22:58] <lolcat> Doh, the netinst image is 131 MB
[22:59] <raskol> If not how do I make a fstab entry that will automount the cd?
[22:59] <lolcat> Wonder if it will be burned before ubuntu crash
[22:59] <maco> lolcat: 131 or 13.1 ?
[22:59] <raskol> mongy ? why do you mention /media? it's not automounting there, if that's what you're implying
[22:59] <DasEi> raskol: simply create a mountpoint and use /dev/sr0
[22:59] <mongy> raskol, the disc should.

[22:59] <lolcat> maco: 131
[22:59] <VCoolio> _joey: what with "cd /home/joey/stata && stata-se" ? is the executable itself not found or does it complain about other stuffnog found?
[23:00] <_joey> VCoolio: yes
[23:00] <_joey> it's executable, it can find the executable
[23:00] <maco> lolcat: ubuntu's netinst? it shouldnt be THAT big...
[23:00] <_joey> it can't find stata directory
[23:00] <_joey> that's the weird message
[23:00] <lolcat> maco: Can it  install it on the usb the netinst is on?
[23:01]  * mongy is beat...to bed and awake in 5 hours..great. night
[23:01] <VCoolio> _joey: I don't know; if the shell works, write a little script and execute that in the launcher, like #!/bin/bash and 2nd line /home/joey/stata/stata-se
[23:02] <_joey> let me try this
[23:02] <chaos2358> Hi I am running a dual boot laptop ubuntu 10.10 and win xp. I just got an all in one printer "cannon" ubuntu recognized the printer and downloaded/activated the drivers for it but I cant print. when i try the printer is not showing up. can someone help me?

[23:04] <erUSUL> lolcat: you can't
[23:04] <maco> lolcat: boot with the "toram" argument, if that still works
[23:05] <lolcat> If I force it out?
[23:06] <maco> lolcat: you wont be able to start anything new
[23:06] <maco> lolcat: what is running may turn buggy if it hasnt been fully loaded into ram yet
[23:06] <VCoolio> _joey: then I don't know, does it work if you click it in the file manager? Then create a symlink to it on your desktop and drag that onto the panel, maybe works. Else I give up
[23:06] <lolcat> I have already startedd brasero
[23:06] <chaos2358> DasEi i already have those installed
[23:07] <_joey> VCoolio: it's just fscked up, that's all
[23:07] <mikebot> mongy: no luck :(
[23:07] <mikebot> Anyone know how to install ubuntu when the usb boot doesn't work?
[23:08] <DasEi> chaos2358: from the system>prefrences should be able to select default printer
[23:08] <ThinkT510> mikebot: sorry, mongy left
[23:08] <_joey> VCoolio: may be I will all /home/joey/stata to $PATH ?
[23:08] <DasEi> mikebot: whole story ?
[23:08] <mikebot> ThinkT510: Yeah :/
[23:08] <lolcat> What do I do with boot.img.gz?
[23:08] <Sc0tt> There are usb boot cd's if your comp doesnt' recognize usb as a boot option
[23:09] <mikebot> DasEi: When I boot from usb, it quickly goes to the purple screen then straight to a terminal-like screen and a bunch of stuff flashes and it then freezes
[23:09] <chaos2358> DasEi, in system>pref i have no options relating to printing
[23:09] <mikebot> DasEi: someone else told me to press a button on the purple screen and that brought up menus, but when I tried to run or install, the same terminal thing happened
[23:09] <mikebot> DasEi: I also tried doing the noaspci and nomodeset and aspci=off things, but the same result
[23:09] <DasEi> mikebot: ic, so usb itself works then, try alternate ways of usb utils, what did you use ?
[23:09] <mikebot> DasEi: Someone else thought it was my Intel vid card, but I have no clue...
[23:10] <mikebot> DasEi: I haven't tried anything else
[23:10] <DasEi> mikebot: starupcreator, unetbootin, pendrivelinux...
[23:10] <VCoolio> _joey: that will only help to execute stata-se directly without path, but give it a shot; you know how to do that?
[23:10] <mikebot> DasEi: Oh, I made the usb with pendrivelinux
[23:10] <lolcat> How do I use the boot.img.gz?
[23:10] <_joey> VCoolio: what else can I try?
[23:10] <mikebot> DasEi: And I did an md5 thing to check the iso image and it matched up
[23:11] <_joey> maybe it needs to know the directory because it has all config files along with the executable
[23:11] <DasEi> mikebot: try unetbootin or usb-creator (repo); seems like the boot is fine, but the install to it went wrong, thinkpad is very common and thus thankfull hardware
[23:12] <Pep999> Hola a todos
[23:12] <mikebot> DasEi: OK.. I also installed it on the usb with pendrive twice... once I formatted the usb myself, second time had pendrive format it
[23:12] <lolcat> To prepare a USB stick, back up any data that you have on it (any data will be overwritten) and zcat boot.img.gz >> /dev/sdX  where X is the letter of your USB stick.  IS that all I have to do?
[23:12] <lolcat> No copying or thinking?
[23:12] <VCoolio> _joey: yes, that's why I suggested cd blah && execute, to set current directory first; but add it to $PATH, won't hurt
[23:12] <DasEi> mikebot: a pre-install to fat is recommended either way
[23:12] <DasEi> pre-format, mikebot*
[23:12] <mikebot> DasEi: OK... Can unetbootin format the usb drive?
[23:13] <DasEi> mikebot: can, but better use gparted, new partitable, then format to fat32 (16 on older thumbs)
[23:14] <_joey> VCoolio: where did you suggest that?
[23:14] <mikebot> DasEi: OK, thank you. I will try both of those
[23:15] <VCoolio> _joey: 23:59 CET
[23:15] <_joey> anyway, adding location to path did not solve it
[23:15] <DasEi> mikebot: also o unetbootin, don't use the whole remaining space of unetbootin offering for persistant storage, just leave a ~200MB blank
[23:16] <mikebot> DasEi: Um.. OK.. will that make sense when I open it?
[23:16] <DasEi> mikebot: which size has the usb ?
[23:16] <VCoolio> _joey: put it on ubuntuforums in general help and go to bed before you get frustrated, try again tomorrow
[23:17] <mikebot> DasEi: It is 1.9gb
[23:17] <Zepp88> Hello all.
[23:17] <Zepp88> Has anyone reported issues with Atheros cards after some updates that were pushed recently?
[23:17] <DrGamut> Does the default configuration of ubuntu's apache2 package include rate limiting?
[23:18] <DasEi> mikebot: roughly estimated the install will fill 800MB, so give 900MB for storage, and unetbootin shall do the job
[23:18] <_joey> VCoolio: I can understand why people are complaining about Desktop usability. Something as simple as running application from the panel and there are so many problems
[23:18] <mikebot> DasEi: OK, great, thank you!
[23:18] <_joey> I may just start it from terminal each time
[23:18] <wanderingi> if i type in alias rm="rm -i" will that ensure that rm -i is always used when using rm?
[23:19] <DasEi> mikebot: this way can keep it for later life-purposes and also have room to save things
[23:19] <chaos2358> got disconnected but still having printer trouble. I have a canon mp250 all in one. the printer hooks in via usb and though whenen i plug it in the laptop recognizes it, i cannot print
[23:19] <chaos2358> DasEi, you still here
[23:20] <DasEi> wanderingi: lil' dangerous on rm-commands; can do so in bash.bashrc
[23:20] <DasEi> chaos2358: yupp
[23:20] <Dr_Willis> actually i was thinking rm -i was a default alias in some disrtos
[23:21] <DasEi> wanderingi: /etc/bash.bashrc : alias remove="rm"  , for example
[23:21] <Dr_Willis> wanderingi:  alias's are normally set in .bashrc or .bash_profile or similer file.
[23:21] <wanderingi> thanks
[23:21] <Dr_Willis> wanderingi:  if you wan tthem system wide. the /etc/bash.bashrc is where to go.
[23:21] <chaos2358> DasEi ok System>admin>printing shows no default printer. I hit add and the canon MP250 is in the list. I select it and click "forward. It searches for drivers which I have already installed, tells me they are installed and closes I dont know what to do

[23:21] <MagicJ> I want to use the gltext screen saver - the documentation tells me that if I add -text hello to the config file ten it should show that text.

I have 3.1.6 (OSE) installed, but it seems like there should be newer ones available. See http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/v/virtualbox-guest-additions/ and http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/v/virtualbox-ose/ for examples. How often does VirtualBox get updated in the repos?
[23:38] <Zepp88> Running a wget for the madwifi stuff gives me a 403
[23:38] <john___> im learning python now
[23:39] <bikcmp> john___: python's pretty cool.

[23:40] <john___> KM0201: did you talk with my cousin?
[23:40] <jrib> KimK: update-manager handles updates for you automatically. Note that in general packages only get updates for "big bugs" and security reasons

[23:42] <cb49747> actual install
[23:42] <john___> i think i will stick with python for linux dev and scripts :)
[23:42] <KM0201> cb49747: which broadcom device do you have?

[23:42] <xyz_> Hello Leo >>>>>  We Will Miss You........Have a good trip....
[23:43] <KM0201> cb49747: which broadcom device is it, do you know?
[23:43] <KimK> jrib, sockPants: But the newer versions seem to be sitting there in the repo already. The newer versions won't work with 10.04 (LTS)? How long until the newer versions get back-ported to the LTS version? I'm trying to install CentOS 5.5 in VirtualBox and the CentOS folks say my VirtualBox is too old.

[23:43] <cb49747> KM0201 how can I find that out
[23:44] <john38> 10.10 maverick wont install on Laptop
[23:44] <KM0201> cb49747: "lspci" in a terminal should do it (thats a lowercase L) it'll output a bunch of stuff, find your wireless device
[23:44] <tlir_> guys, is it possible to add network drives to the Files & Folders side menu in Ubuntu Netbook Edition shell ?
[23:44] <jrib> KimK: that version you see is likely for maverick or natty.  It may work, but it's not available on lucid because of the update policy I mentioned previously.  If you need later versions, the easiest way is to just use the official vbox repositories as someone else mentioned
[23:44] <chaos2358> DasEi ActionParsnip. ok i tried again and it still wouldnt work. so i went and downloaded the debian driver kit from here>> http://support-my.canon-asia.com/contents/MY/EN/0100236101.html << and it downloaded as a tar.gz file. I created a folder and extracted to it. Now what
[23:44] <cb49747> bcm4312
[23:45] <jrib> chaos2358: my printer automagically worked when I plugged into my computer and turned it on.  Is that not the case for yours?
[23:46] <DasEi> chaos2358: you d/l 'ed the deb ?
[23:46] <manas> hi, i have just installed ubuntu on my sony vaio. my mouse pad doesnt work. but when i attach a USB mouse it does . What to do?
[23:46] <KM0201> cb49747: ok... follow the instructions on that link i gave you.. make sure the STA packages are installed properly, and if that doesn't work, try the b43 driver... it's all on that link ubottu gave you a minute ago.
[23:46] <chaos2358> Jrib of course it worked automagically. I'm just bored and trying to find out how to make it work manually. DUHHH.
[23:46] <chaos2358> DasEi yes
[23:46] <Valynor> cb49747: in my experience the best solution to deal with Broadcom wireless cards problems is to trash it and buy something based on the Atheros chipset for less than $10. For that you will get well supported drivers
[23:46] <jrib> chaos2358: oh you should do something more productive, but to each his own
[23:46] <chaos2358> DasEi and extracted it to a folder
[23:46] <DasEi> chaos2358: sudo dpkg -i cnij<TAB>
[23:47] <DasEi> in that folder
[23:47] <Acid190> john38: your issue?

[23:47] <goltoof> what's an optimal format for a usb 3.0 drive that'll work well with both windows and ubuntu?
[23:47] <Dr_Willis> john38:  if its nvidia gpu - try the nomodeset option
[23:47] <Dr_Willis> coreire:  hit space3 or shift when ya see the man, try the nomodeset option also..
[23:47] <ActionParsnip> chaos2358: in the files extracted, you will see deb files
[23:47] <john38> Acid190, when i put in i wont get past installation screen
[23:47] <DasEi> goltoof: depends on where it's used on mostly
[23:47] <coreire> Dr_Willis: Thanks, will try that now
[23:47] <cb49747> Valynor from what I read on the internet you suggestion seems to be the way to go.
[23:47] <DasEi> goltoof: either ext3 or ntfs
[23:47]  * hotrod is away: Gone away for now
[23:47] <sockPants> is there a (short) cli command to change the keyboard layout to dvorak from terminal?
[23:47] <john38> Dr_Willis, its Toshiba A665D Laptop brand new
[23:48] <ActionParsnip> !away > hotrod
[23:48] <Acid190> john38: it hangs? stops? error messages?
[23:48] <goltoof> DasEi:  mostly on linux, i'd just like to keep it from getting corrupted when i use it in windows
[23:48] <john38> Acid190, wont even load
[23:48] <john38> Acid190, i'd say it hangs
[23:48] <DasEi> goltoof: use ext3 then and install additional driver for win
[23:48] <goltoof> DasEi:  what about ntfs3g ?
[23:48] <john38> Acid190, blinking line on top
[23:48] <chaos2358> DasEi ok that command is returning nothing
[23:48] <KimK> jrib, sockPants: Oh, there's an official Vbox repo? OK, I'll try that. At virtualbox.com I'd guess? I saw the debs, but I really like the automatic updates. Thanks!
[23:48] <wanderingi> if i have 1>&2 will that ensure stderr and stdout will write to the one file?
[23:49] <DasEi> goltoof: ntfs is supported nativly by ubuntu
[23:49] <sockPants> KimK: yep i used it the other day, hope it works for you
[23:49] <goltoof> DasEi:  oh nvm, thats just ntfs driver for linux
[23:49] <nix_goddess> any hot linux guys here?
[23:49] <goltoof> DasEi:  except for the ability to change file perms
[23:49] <erUSUL> wanderingi:  > file 2>&1
[23:49] <ActionParsnip> nix_goddess: this is support only
[23:49] <avashi1> guys I am having problem install "wine" .. Wine lets me run window based application on linux
[23:49] <DasEi> goltoof: yepp, but for permissions and repair options as for defragging reasons use ext3
[23:49] <nix_goddess> oh sorry
[23:49] <chaos2358> Action Parsnip In the extracted stuff I have "packages, Resources, and an instal.sh but the install.sh wont install in software center when i double click it
[23:49] <Acid190> john38: your installing natively? have a fresh cd and clean hdd?
[23:49] <nix_goddess> i need support ;)
[23:50] <john38> Acid190, i tried desktop, netbook and upgrading from 10.04
[23:50] <ActionParsnip> nix_goddess: then ask
[23:50] <DasEi> goltoof: the ext3 support works write/reaad and for subdirs, too, not so ext4
[23:50] <goltoof> nix_goddess:  if you mean hot as in mad linux skills then yes
[23:50] <nix_goddess> i need support for my boobs
[23:50] <nix_goddess> yes mad skills
[23:51] <john38> Acid190, on dvd
[23:51] <Acid190> john38: I would hate to recommend a new download, but sometimes that's the case if that dvd can't install at all
[23:51] <ActionParsnip> nix_goddess: can you ask an Ubuntu support question, help others or sit quiet/leave
[23:51] <hzroot> clear
[23:51] <goltoof> nix_goddess:  you'd have to be a girl for that support, which isn't likely in your case, and this is for ubuntu support only
[23:51] <nix_goddess> action do you need a release hun you seem rather uptight ;)
[23:51] <john38> Acid190, im able to install 10.04 fine
[23:51] <DasEi> chaos2358: you used TAB for autocomplete, no errors reported, so driver is installed then, restart cups,  try again
[23:51] <goltoof> !ot | nix_goddess
[23:52] <john38> Acid190, so what i should try usb install
[23:52] <Acid190> john38: 10.04 is long-term support, 10.10 is not
[23:52] <ActionParsnip> nix_goddess: no thanks, I have a girlfriend
[23:52] <gpc> !guidelines > nix_goddess
[23:52] <nix_goddess> ty goltoof
[23:52] <DasEi> chaos2358: sudo service cups restart
[23:52] <Acid190> I would stick with 10.04 until you find the specific bug with your hardware to 10.10
[23:52] <Assi> firmware-b43legacy-installer <-- is there a way to get this thing to work without a hardline?
[23:52] <nix_goddess> by guys txt me<PHONE_NUMBER>
[23:52] <DasEi> !broadcom| assi
[23:53] <Acid190> nix_goddess was piece of work
[23:53] <ActionParsnip> Assi: can you give the exact error you get please, use http://pastie.org   Thanks
[23:53] <john38> Acid190, i'd stick with 10.04 if my built in mic worked
[23:53] <ActionParsnip> Acid190: I'd have said 'annoying'
[23:55] <ActionParsnip> Assi: and what is a 'hardline'?
[23:55] <chaos2358> DasEi ok nothing
[23:55] <Assi> ActionParsnip: ethernet connection with cable
[23:55] <Acid190> john38: so if your mic worked in 10.04 you would be happy?
[23:56] <ActionParsnip> Assi: oh, i see. Never heard that one
[23:56] <john38> Acid190, i mean hey of course
[23:56] <DasEi> chaos2358: how's the  printer connected ?
[23:56] <chaos2358> DasEi usb
[23:56] <goltoof> ActionParsnip:  me neither, i've heard 'hardwired'
[23:56] <chaos2358> DasEi only otion
[23:56] <DasEi> chaos2358: lsusb find it ? id ?
[23:56] <Assi> ActionParsnip: im not running ubuntu on eng, so it might be tricky to understand?
[23:56] <chaos2358> DasEi option
[23:56] <zhxk> where to paste img?
[23:56] <ActionParsnip> goltoof: I guess a wire weaves in a line....
[23:56] <john38> Acid190, it would be cool if it worked
[23:57] <chaos2358> DasEi wait what? find it in the deb i dl?
[23:57] <Acid190> john38: im no guru, unless someone else can help you further, I would google your mic hardware with ubuntu 10.04 and see if a configuration is available
[23:57] <wanderingi> if i exit unix but get the message that jobs are still running, what will happen if i try the exit command again?
[23:57] <ActionParsnip> Assi: if you run:  sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -f install    and pastebin the output
[23:57] <DasEi> chaos2358: no, getting the id under which ubuntu connects it
[23:57] <DasEi> chaos2358: lsusb in terminal
[23:58] <needlez> who was having the issue with the broadcom??
[23:58] <john38> Acid190, i dont know what kind of built in camera mic it is i know if use alc269 sound
[23:58] <goltoof> ActionParsnip:  then again calling a line or a wire "hard" would imply a "soft" variant
[23:58] <Dr_Willis> wanderingi:  they get closed i imagine.
[23:58] <Acid190> john38: there may be just a hardware update for the mic once you have 10.04 installed instead of upgrading all the way to 10.10
[23:58] <chaos2358> DasEi Bus 001 Device 004: ID 04a9:173a Canon, Inc.
[23:58] <john38> Acid190, ok
[23:59] <DasEi> chaos2358: so usb not disabled
[23:59] <chaos2358> DasEi I guess not
[23:59] <needlez> is there anyway to tell a bash script to refresh the webpage im on??
