[10:34] <coz_> coolguy4,  mmm damn I know too little about ati  however I believe there is something called "Bigdesktop"  for ati
[10:34] <coz_> coolguy4,  you may want to look into that
[10:34] <_Darkstar_> right... go on airtonix
[10:34] <airtonix> _Darkstar_, second tick box on the first tab should be ticked
[10:34] <Tanthrix> erUSUL: Is there an easy way to do that that you're aware of? I admit I haven't done a lot of manual kernel-related stuff over the years.
[10:34] <coolguy4> coz_: oh, i thought xinerama could do the dual desktops by itself
[10:35] <coz_> coolguy4,   well with ati I am not sure   you can talk with people in the #radeon channel or #ati channel to be sure
[10:35] <airtonix> _Darkstar_, one labeled : "Community-maintained Open Source Software (universe)"
[10:35] <erUSUL> Tanthrix: maybe you find a ppa with vanilla kernels ... but it will be 2.6.32 or so
[10:35] <erUSUL> !ppa | Tanthrix
[10:35] <coolguy4> ok, thanks
[10:35] <jm95> can anyone help with an error installing vmware player
[10:36] <Tanthrix> erUSUL: I'll have a look, thanks for the info.
[10:36] <erUSUL> Tanthrix: no problem.
[10:36] <alteregoa> heh where can i get kernel sources for mainline kernels?
[10:36] <erUSUL> alteregoa: vanilla kernels? www.kernel.org
[10:36] <alteregoa> i installed the sourcecode to mainline-ppa into the /home/ dir
[10:36] <airtonix> _Darkstar_, once you have that enabled .. closing that window should prompt you to do a reload of the package index
[10:36] <oCean_> !anyone | jm95
[10:37] <oCean_> jm95: also, have you considered using virtualbox?
[10:37] <alteregoa> erUSUL: i dunno if its a vanilla kernel, its a precompiled kernel on ubuntu mainline site
[10:37] <_Darkstar_> airtonix: it has been ticked
[10:37] <jm95> ok i have just used command gksudo bash ./VMware-Player-2.5.1-126130.i386.bundle
[10:37] <jm95> yet it does not do anything
[10:37] <airtonix> _Darkstar_, if it didn't ask for you to reload the index then hit the reload button on the toolbar to the far left.
[10:37] <erUSUL> alteregoa: if you are getting it from a repo just install the source package for it
[10:37] <jm95> how do i used chmod - the file is on my desktop
[10:37] <erUSUL> alteregoa: sudo apt-get source package_name
[10:37] <_Darkstar_> airtonix: its always been enabled lol
[10:37] <alteregoa> i installed it
[10:38] <alteregoa> erUSUL i installed the headers and the source package
[10:38] <erUSUL> jm95: right click on it go to properties. tick the executable checkbox on the first tab
[10:38] <jm95> no is vitualbox designed for linux?
[10:38] <junmin> hello all, just install ubuntu 9.10, mouse is randomly freezing :s any idea?
[10:38] <alteregoa> but the nvidia driver still cannot find the kernel-headers
[10:38] <airtonix> coz_, sorry only info i have for that background is the filename : wallpaper102.jpg
[10:38] <oCean_> jm95: Applications > Accessoires > terminal, Then you're on the commandline. Then you can "chmo +x filename.bundle"
[10:38] <alteregoa> jumin: replace the batteries
[10:38] <coz_> airtonix, no problem :)
[10:39] <erUSUL> alteregoa: then should be somewhere in /usr/source/ ?
[10:39] <_Darkstar_> airtonix: could it be because im using 8.10 ubuntu>
[10:39] <alteregoa> it is
[10:39] <oCean_> !vbox | jm95
[10:39] <intok> any good hardware testing apps for linux? I'm trying to figure out whats up with this box, already got all the s.m.a.r.t. hdd tools I could find in the repos, anytihng that can hammer the chipset?
[10:39] <junmin> alteregoa: mmm.. it doesnt use battery
[10:39] <alteregoa> junmin: get another mouse
[10:39] <erUSUL> intok: memtest ?
[10:39] <airtonix> _Darkstar_, you might be right.
[10:40] <_Darkstar_> airtonix: so i should upgrade to 9.04?
[10:40] <Jowi> junmin, if it's a USB mouse, plug it into another USB port and see if it works better
[10:40] <alteregoa> junmin: maybe your mouse is messed up
[10:40] <airtonix> _Darkstar_, this is how i installed it on 8.10
[10:40] <airtonix> _Darkstar_, http://code.google.com/p/tint2/wiki/Install#For_Ubuntu_8.10_(Intrepid)
[10:40] <junmin> alteregoa: tried another already. Jowi tried anothers ports already :s
[10:40] <intok> erUSUL memtest passes, smartmon passes, but sometimes the box decides it not going to read any hdd or live disc, hdd is sata cd it ide
[10:40] <alteregoa> jumin: then your usb is messed up
[10:40] <jm95> thanks but i get no file or directory now
[10:41] <airtonix> _Darkstar_, that screenshot was from me using 8.10 last year
[10:41] <ffr76> Bom dia
[10:41] <alteregoa> get a bus powered hub or something
[10:41] <alteregoa> or a self powered
[10:41] <erUSUL> intok: nothing in the logs from the kernel ?
[10:41] <ffr76> sorry good morning
[10:41] <erUSUL> !hi
[10:41] <oCean_> jm95: once in terminal you have to navigate to the folder containing the downloaded file. Is it in Downloads or in Desktop in your homefolder?
[10:41] <Nokia_E75> Assalamualaikum w.b.t.
[10:41] <Guest11172> how to set date&time variable in bash script
[10:41] <Jowi> junmin, see if you get a lot of USB disconnects in /var/log/messages - if you do, try with a different kernel version.
[10:41] <Nokia_E75> Hye... :)
[10:42] <intok> erUSUL haven't checked, I'm still a n00b in linux
[10:42] <jm95> its in admin desktop ocean
[10:42] <oCean_> Guest11172: variable?
[10:42] <erUSUL> Guest11172: date=$(date)
[10:42] <resjudicata> anyone?
[10:42] <alteregoa> On a scale of 1 to 4, what are your feelings about the color green?
[10:42] <resjudicata> how do I get ubuntu to recognize an audio card?
[10:42] <Jowi> junmin, ...or perhaps it's a hair by the led of the mouse. give it a good blow :D
[10:42] <Nokia_E75> I'm using mIRGGI on Nokia E75
[10:43] <erUSUL> intok: check /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages /var/log/kern.log
[10:43] <oCean_> jm95: and you are this "admin" ? Then, after opening terminal do "cd ~/Desktop"
[10:43] <Nokia_E75> How to detect my E75 on Ubuntu 9.10?
[10:44] <alteregoa> no clue
[10:44] <jm95> get no file or folder
[10:44] <jm95> should i go with virtualbox
[10:45] <_dsl> hello, is it possible to restrict interent browser access to specific sites (say just 3 or 4)?
[10:45] <intok> resjudicata what audio card and have you checked that it's selected in the sound prefs? have you also checked in the multimedia systems selector you'll have to unhide that by going to System>Prefrences>Main Menu> Multimedia systems selector just check the box so it shows in the list, set everytihng to alsa and it should be good
[10:45] <oCean_> jm95: I'm just not sure where you downloaded the file. Sure, you could try virtualbox ...  the free edition is in the repositories
[10:45] <Jowi> alteregoa, I would say "pizza" or perhaps "pencil" or perhaps #ubuntu-offtopic :)
[10:45] <resjudicata> intok, sound prefs says its using the "dummy" device, my card doesn't show up
[10:46] <Nokia_E75> How to detect my E75 on Ubuntu 9.10? Anyone knows? Its only charging when connect via USB cable
[10:46] <resjudicata> intok, I'm not sure what make and model it is, whatever comes with dell vostros these days
[10:46] <jm95> i will try that now
[10:46] <resjudicata> and wasn't ubuntu supposed to be using pulseaudio and not alsa starting 9.10?
[10:46] <oCean_> jm95: if you're still on the commandline (in terminal) then you could do "sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose" to start install process
[10:46] <sdf23> Hi all, i m using crossover 8 on ubuntu 9.04 for ms office 2007. If i upgrade to ubuntu 9.10 will i have to watch for something?
[10:47] <erUSUL> resjudicata: puseaudio sits on top of alsa (the kernel drivers)
[10:47] <resjudicata> erUSUL, oh, thanks. I thought it was a complete replacement
[10:47] <Nokia_E75> Nobody helps me?
[10:48] <jm95> ok thanks
[10:49] <pat|nG> jm95
[10:49] <pat|nG> is it workin?
[10:49] <Nokia_E75> Ok bye...
[10:49] <resjudicata> ok, the multimedia systems selector program doesn't list my audio card either, it shows "unkown"
[10:50] <erUSUL> resjudicata: ls /dev/snd/*
[10:51] <resjudicata> erUSUL, by-path  controlC0  hwC0D0  pcmC0D0c  pcmC0D0p  pcmC0D1p  seq  timer
[10:51] <intok> resjudicata look up the model sound chip on dells site?
[10:51] <resjudicata> intok, tried that, no look. they just list that it's "integrated"
[10:54] <erUSUL> resjudicata: so it seems that the sound card is there ... alsamixer does not show it ?
[10:55] <erUSUL> resjudicata: or « amixer info »
[10:55] <jm95> ocean thx for help - i get no suitable module for running kernal found
[10:56] <resjudicata> it shows an intel card, Card default 'Intel'/'HDA Intel at 0xf6dfc000 irq 21'
[10:56] <farciarz84> how can I update certain program in ubuntu?
[10:56] <farciarz84> from console
[10:56] <intok> erUSUL scanning over both nothing overtly jumps out at me kern.log http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m7a914fb6 Messages http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m781981f1
[10:56] <farciarz84> sudo apt-get install program (tell me that this soft is already installed) but I would like a new version of it
[10:57] <erUSUL> !latest | farciarz84
[10:57] <resjudicata> !backports
[10:58] <farciarz84> erUSUL: I don't need lastest for the first
[10:58] <farciarz84> but 1.0.0 and 1.3.5 is a big difference
[10:58] <janksinjs> tarakaani taadi
[10:58] <janksinjs> :D
[10:58] <erUSUL> farciarz84: the part i want you to read is this « Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact  bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit.
[10:59] <janksinjs> kas ir, neviens nekaa nerubii
[10:59] <janksinjs> ?
[10:59] <resjudicata> so... any ideas what should I do?
[10:59] <Rincewind> ;-)
[10:59] <erUSUL> farciarz84: so if the package is not backported a new version only appears in a new version of ubuntu
[10:59] <janksinjs> kamaseki
[10:59] <janksinjs> :D
[11:00] <janksinjs> neviens te LV nerubii?
[11:00] <farciarz84> erUSUL: stragne
[11:00] <erUSUL> farciarz84: how so? is how most distributions work
[11:01] <farciarz84> But I would like to install new version, old has a lack of some things I need
[11:02] <erUSUL> farciarz84: as i said you may check backports or maybe you can get a new package in a ppa or in getdeb.net
[11:02] <zeroXten> heya.. anyone know if full disk encryption key is kept in memory when ubuntu karmic is in hibernate?
[11:02] <intok> farciarz84 tried http://getdeb.net ?

[11:11] <joep> oCean_: Hi, we had little contact yesterday regarding my botched HD. It is still a mystery but I first wnat the following solved.Hi. I have a problem with a Hardy installation from an USB-stick. I want to add some packages to it but that won't work as it says:E: Unable to write mmap - msync (28 No space left on device). However, the USB stick has still 1 GB free, however, it is formatted as FAT32 (standard when making an OS on an USB-stick). I wonde
[11:11] <joep> r if anybody knows how to overcome this problem.
[11:11] <net> thank you for easy ubottu
[11:11] <meowbuntu> !ask | joep
[11:12] <meowbuntu> joep, how much space is left in the homefolder i wonder

[11:13] <guntbert> !ot | net
[11:14] <joep> meowbuntu: Well that's the problem. It is an USB-stick of 2 GB and 1 GB is free. However I don't know what linux does with a FAT32 partition.
[11:14] <oCean_> joep: not familiair with that problem, maybe you have to re-format the stick?
[11:14] <meowbuntu> joe75, how big is the os on drive
[11:15] <meowbuntu> ^ joep
[11:15] <meowbuntu> joep, how big is os install on flash drive
[11:16] <meowbuntu> is it an 8gig partition ????

[11:16] <fresno> gotta untar a heap of files to get a usb mobile stick modem going. and some .deb files, how do I do that? double click from desktop ? do I need to sudo em or what ?
[11:17] <meowbuntu> sorry joep i dont know
[11:17] <joep> meowbuntu: Well, I'm afraid that will not solve the problem as the OS is installed using the USb creator function in SYStem -> administration.
[11:17] <hiexpo> hello all good morning
[11:18] <joep> meowbuntu: thanks for the try. I hope somebody else has an idea.
[11:18] <guntbert> !hi | hiexpo

[11:18] <mmy> Hi
[11:18] <hiexpo> :)
[11:19] <jm95> thx ubottu what wud be the command to update thru terminal, thanks
[11:19] <meowbuntu> joep, usb-creator needs a live cd or .iso of ubuntu
[11:19] <joep> meowbuntu: I used the function: USB startup DIsk creator which is in my Karmic setting under: SYStem -> administration
[11:20] <hiexpo> hello gunbert & ubottu
[11:20] <iflema> joep gparted
[11:20] <joep> meowbuntu: Of course I installed the OS (in this case Hardy) from a downloaded .iso file.
[11:20] <oCean_> jm95: use "apt-cache policy <packagename>" to see whether there are updates available (in the repositories) for <packagename>
[11:20] <noisymouse> how do I use a saved configuration file when making a kernel?
[11:20] <guntbert> jm95, hiexpo: ubottu is a bot :)

[11:24] <jami> Guest26848: just google video for linux v4l on ubuntu
[11:24] <barf> Anyone good at installers?
[11:24] <meowbuntu> hi how do i get my plygged in drives and cd to show on desktop
[11:24] <jami> barf:  just ask
[11:25] <meowbuntu> barf, ask your question
[11:25] <oCean_> Guest26848: that is weird, since packages.ubuntu.com shows: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/lib32v4l-0
[11:25] <meowbuntu> !ask | barf
[11:25] <guntbert> Guest26848: what was the command you used?
[11:25] <barf> I have an embedded system Samsung SyncMaster 400PXn, I am able to reboot the preinstalled Windows XPe, and I tried to install Hackintosh on it
[11:26] <barf> I am not too focused on which OS to run, perhaps MacOS X perhaps Ubuntu
[11:26] <barf> What I need on there is a compositing app
[11:26] <Guest26848> guntbert:sudo apt-get install lib32v4l-0
[11:26] <barf> Similar to Premiere or Motion
[11:26] <jami> barf: check your system components first against the driver tree
[11:27] <ghostcube> kdenlive or kino should work for cutting like in premiere
[11:27] <barf> The problem is in the bootability of the stuff on the USB
[11:27] <barf> I tried with chameleon
[11:27] <jami> barf: embedded devices often based on crude sis chips
[11:27] <guntbert> Guest26848: I guess there is a naming problem somewhere - I'll take a look
[11:27] <barf> jami: how can I find out?
[11:27] <meowbuntu> barf, #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions
[11:27] <barf> Even the BIOS ones?
[11:27] <sdf23> Hi all, i m using crossover 8 on ubuntu 9.04 for ms office 2007. If i upgrade to ubuntu 9.10 will i have to watch for something?
[11:28] <barf> That’s why I asked the silly question in the beginning, to make sure I am not off topic.
[11:28] <oCean_> guntbert: the package does exist in main
[11:28] <jami> barf: the error window is to large. check your compatibility first
[11:29] <barf> Hard disk boot sector invalid
[11:29] <barf> How would I do that jami?
[11:30] <guntbert> oCean_: yes, but !info lib32v4l-0 doesn't show it ...
[11:30] <oCean_> guntbert: indeed. Could it be the architecture? packages.ubuntu.com only shows amd64
[11:30] <jami> barf: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[11:31] <barf> There is already WinXPe installed on the device
[11:31] <meowbuntu> barf, can i pm you
[11:31] <barf> Maybe there is a script that can be run to do the same as lspci?
[11:32] <barf> Go ahead
[11:32] <barf> meowbuntu: sure
[11:32] <oCean_> Guest26848:
[11:32] <oCean_> Guest26848: are you running 32 or 64 bits?
[11:32] <Guest26848> oCean_: 32 bits
[11:33] <oCean_> Guest26848: guntbert that could be it. Packages.ubuntu.com only shows available for amd64 architecture, even being 32bits libs
[11:33] <theadmin> Uh... why do I have "libthai" installed? I don't speek Thai, nor does anyone who uses this comp
[11:33] <guntbert> Guest26848: try sudo apt-get update (to refresh the database) - then sudo apt-get install lib32v4l<tab> (to get autocompletion)
[11:34] <joep> Well, guys, although it is not solved thanks anyway. I will try later.
[11:35] <jm95> how can i remove ktorrent using terminal
[11:36] <myzonez> Is there any particular advantage in using KDE over GNOME?
[11:36] <w_> no
[11:36] <theadmin> jm95: sudo apt-get remove ktorrent
[11:36] <mustu> hi, how can we exclude some IPs from the given range in my dhcpd.conf..
[11:36] <theadmin> myzonez: Not really. Altough some like it more.
[11:36] <MASARUwota> myzonez: more functions easily available, less minimalistic.
[11:37] <w_> kde sucks
[11:37] <w_> poor graphics
[11:37] <robertm85> myzonez: It's simply a personal preference entirely up to the user
[11:37] <hipitihop> Anyone here can help me diagnose a bluetooth keyboard/mouse periodic drop-out ?
[11:37] <MASARUwota> it doesnt, people dont give it enough credit. its a pretty nice environment
[11:37] <jami> jm95: use purge to remove the configs too
[11:37] <oCean_> w_: there's no need for that in this channel. Please stop
[11:37] <theadmin> w_: Many preffer KDE, but I agree with you. It's buggy.

[11:38] <myzonez> theadmin, oh thanks. And I want to upgrade my 9.04 to karmic koala.....and I want to use KDE. but I think I read somewhere that its recommended to update everything using the update manager and then go for the system upgrade. is it true?
[11:38] <theadmin> myzonez: Well, yes, it is
[11:39] <mickster04> jami, well it doesnt seem to be connecting....can u give me a more detailed responce?
[11:39] <Andorin> So it looks like every time I log out, my Visuals preferences get reset from Normal to None. What do I do about this?
[11:40] <Andorin> Visual Effects, rather.
[11:40] <MASARUwota> Andorin: set compiz to start automaticly
[11:40] <hipitihop> My BT keyboard / mouse woks for a while and then drops out. I have to re-insert dongle and sometimes re-pair to get it back, where do I look to see why this is happening ?
[11:41] <MASARUwota> Andorin: add 'compiz --replace' to autostart
[11:41] <jami> mickster04: the manpage will give you detailed responce. man ifconfig, iwup, iwdown.
[11:41] <myzonez> theadmin: oh. So I guess i'll install KDE after the upgrade. But the peculiar thing is, I can't find 'KDE' in my synaptic manager...though I can use the apt-get stuff, I notice that a lot of things are missing...I was using ubuntu before and I had to format my computer....I installed this again from the very same cd. Any idea what's wrong? I think canonical withdrew the support for jaunty
[11:41] <Andorin> MASARUwota: K
[11:41] <theadmin> myzones: That is called "kubuntu-desktop", not "KDE" by now
[11:42] <myzonez> theadmin, and Kubuntu is an entirely different thing? I mean I can'
[11:42] <myzonez> theadmin, can I have gnome and Kde together? (although its not very useful to do so.)
[11:42] <theadmin> myzonez: It's not different, it's the same except the fact that it uses KDE over GNOME. And yes, you can.
[11:42] <_nmap> Does anyone knows a software to see if my fingerprint reader is instaled properly?
[11:43] <hipitihop> _nmap, is it usb attached ?
[11:43] <_nmap> hipitihop, yes
[11:43] <mike_k> is it possible to set up a wubi install without being in windows?
[11:43] <myzonez> theadmin, and its better if u use either kde or gnome?
[11:43] <myzonez> theadmin, and not both?
[11:43] <theadmin> Can anyone tell me of a normal CLI text editor? Neither emacs nor other stuff makes sense
[11:43] <hipitihop> _nmap, so what do you get from "lsusb"
[11:43] <theadmin> myzonez: Well, if you wanna save space, otherwise no
[11:43] <Guest26848> guntbert: still can't find it
[11:43] <jami> theadmin: vim
[11:43] <mike_k> windows freezes within minutes of starting up
[11:44] <theadmin> jami: Will try in a sec
[11:44] <hipitihop> theadmin, nano
[11:44] <iflema> nano
[11:44] <mike_k> live cd lunix doesnt, so im suspecting its a hard drive issue
[11:44] <amikrop> Hello, recently, the a button, when I press it, writes down something like adsf and lowers the volume.
[11:44] <amikrop> Is that a recent bug?
[11:44] <amikrop> "a" button
[11:44] <theadmin> hipitihop: Hey, thanks, this is very simple, just what I need :D
[11:44] <woru2> anyone knows a software to make e-cards in linux?
[11:44] <hipitihop> amikrop, sounds more like a stuck gummey key on your keyboard
[11:45] <myzonez> theadmin, And KDE stands for K development environment. And there's no way to run amarok on gnome?
[11:45] <zfx> pulse audio better than alsa or both same?
[11:45] <jami> theadmin: editors like nano have nearly no features
[11:45] <_nmap> hipitihop, humm the hardware is listed on lsusb response..
[11:45] <oCean_> amikrop: i agree with hipitihop must be defected keyboard
[11:45] <guntbert> Guest26848: strange - I could install it fine (but I'm on 64bit) - what happens when you type sudo aptitude install lib32v4<tab> ?
[11:45] <theadmin> myzonez: Why there is, just install it, it will also get some KDE libraries but it will run on GNOME just fine
[11:46] <zfx> pulse audio better than alsa or both same?
[11:46] <colde89> ist there another ftp-programm then krusader? Krusader still down`t rememger paswords.
[11:46] <woru2> anyone knows a software to make e-cards?
[11:46] <theadmin> colde89: Try FireFTP firefox addon or Nautilus
[11:46] <mickster04> jami iwup nor iwdown are found:/ an iwconfig man page refer to wep not wpa:/
[11:46] <Guest26848> guntbert: it write:bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
[11:46] <myzonez> theadmin, Thanks.....does KDE look better? :)
[11:46] <oCean_> guntbert: I really don't know why it's not in the repos. It *is* on LP: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libv4l/0.6.0-1/+build/1126156
[11:47] <QPrime> jami: nano no features? really?  simplicity is a feature ;)
[11:47] <theadmin> myzonez: Well, yes, it does a bit... altough GNOME+Compiz+Those awesome desktop effects is better then KDE
[11:47] <mike_k> is there a live cd i can set up with tests nvidia 3d hardware acceleration?
[11:47] <GG19>  edit the resolution of my video? I recorded my desktop with gtk-recordmydesktop but I want to save the video at maybe 50% the size.
[11:47] <zfx> o'
[11:47] <oCean_> Guest26848: nono, <tab> means *press* the <tab>key
[11:47] <GG19> anyone know of a good vieo editer to do that?
[11:48] <guntbert> Guest26848: ah - with <tab> I mean press the tab-key
[11:48] <guntbert> oCean_: I'm certain it *is* in the repos
[11:48] <myzonez> theadmin, well, compiz won't work on mine....no graphics card, and a really problematic VIA onboard
[11:48] <Andorin> MASARUwota: I added compiz --replace to the startup applications, but it didn't run when I logged in.
[11:48] <Guest26848> sorry
[11:48] <theadmin> myzonez: Don't go with KDE then, it's quite... hungry on video cards
[11:48] <hipitihop> _nmap, ok, what line lsits your device ?
[11:49] <oCean_> guntbert: yep, just not the i386 build.
[11:49] <myzonez> theadmin, Thank god u said that. My system would have crashed or something!!! Even the display goes crappy on Gnome sometimes...and the worst part is, there's no official drivers for my chipset....so its either Vesa or the openchrom drivers....and both doesn't support 3-d drawing
[11:50] <barf> Anyone here with experience in running linux on embedded devices?
[11:50] <hipitihop> _nmap, still there ?
[11:50] <_nmap> hipitihop, Bus 003 Device 002: ID 00ff:5731 Authentec, Inc. AES3500 Trueprint Sensor
[11:51] <hipitihop> barf, not sure what you are after but I am running firmware by other people on a couple of devices
[11:51] <jami> QPrime: touche. But features like :%s/^\t*/    /g or :/find or :set bg=dark ^^ are great and i never wanne edit without them

[11:51] <abu> hi i installed ubuntu9.10 and 9.04 but 9.04 is not working properly from morning plz help me how to repair that
[11:51] <Guest26848> guntbert: it wroteCouldn't find any package whose name or description matched "lib32v4"
[11:51] <amikrop> hipitihop: how can I fix it? it showed up yesterday first time
[11:52] <hipitihop> _nmap, the important information is 00ff:5731 you may want to google that along with ubuntu... the lsusb atleast tells you that your system can see the device plugged in
[11:52] <theadmin> myzonez: KDE is way hungry actually... If you wanna something productive go with XFCE it's really fast. Altough, GNOME is medium and if it works fine, keep that
[11:52] <abu> hello
[11:52] <abu> hi i installed ubuntu9.10 and 9.04 but 9.04 is not working properly from morning plz help me how to repair that
[11:53] <abu> any one help me
[11:53] <GG19> I watched this youtube video of someones Ubuntu setup and I seen some kind of animation of fire under his mouse and it had a trail effect when he moved it does anyone know what that program might be?
[11:53] <theadmin> abu: Don't repeat, that's first. Next, please give more details. What do you get? Any errors or such?
[11:53] <paulus> Hi
[11:53] <QPrime> jami: I hear ya... but I'd say that most people in #ubuntu are just looking for a (fairly) simple editor cli based editor to muck with config files.  nano usually fits the bill pretty well (or joe if you're feeling freaky)
[11:54] <paulus> Last week I upgraded my desktop to Karmic Koala
[11:54] <paulus> for some reason my NIC is no longer working
[11:55] <abu> in 9.04 blink the desktop
[11:55] <abu> what i do
[11:55] <zacard> any1 got problem with grub2 after running windows ?-_-
[11:55] <guntbert> Guest26848: that is really strange - ah wait
[11:55] <theadmin> abu: it seems your X server is broken.
[11:55] <paulus> the driver is loaded, and ethtool sees the device but says 'no link detected'
[11:55] <abu> how i repaire
[11:55] <jami> paulus: did you overwriting some configs during upgrade
[11:56] <Arabus> QPrime: I would vouch for vi instead, since most of its usage reappears in many unix applications
[11:56] <amikrop> oCean_: And what can I do to fix that keyboard problem? It just showed up yesterday first time, while I have the Ubuntu installation for years.
[11:56] <guntbert> Guest26848: you said you are on 32bit architecture?
[11:56] <paulus> it's a Broadcom Corporation BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX (rev 02)
[11:56] <jami> Arabus: vi is a very very painful tool
[11:56] <theadmin> abu: I'm not sure. Try booting into the recovery mode and then running the "Repair graphical problems" from the menu that appears
[11:56] <hipitihop> _nmap, do you know what model it is ?
[11:57] <abu> i have already tried
[11:57] <hipitihop> amikrop, sorry, I think I may be answering too many people and lost track ;-)
[11:57] <meowbuntu> theadmin, what are the commands to repair graphical problems  ?????
[11:57] <QPrime> Arabus: fair enough.  don't wanna start an editor fire-fight. nano seems to sit well with most casual users.
[11:57] <theadmin> meowbuntu: Uh, it was in 9.04, they seemed to remove it in 9.10. Was in menu... uh... xfix or fixx or something
[11:57] <Guest26848> guntbert:i think so
[11:58] <jami> meowbuntu: check your X11 log!!!em
[11:58] <_nmap> hipitihop, is this one here: http://www.apc.com/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=biopod-ec&tab=features
[11:58] <guntbert> Guest26848: then you will need libv4l-0 - please try it
[11:58] <meowbuntu> jami, how to do that
[11:58] <paulus> I've netbooted into kubuntu with  a 2.6.27-7 kernel
[11:58] <Guest26848> guntbert:cose skype fork only when i instal 32 version
[11:58] <paulus> and here the NIC works fine
[11:58] <meowbuntu> paulus, join #kubuntu
[11:59] <paulus> I don't have a problem with kubuntu
[11:59] <paulus> I've netbooted into kubuntu because ubuntu has a problem with the nic
[11:59] <guntbert> !enter | paulus
[11:59] <hipitihop> _nmap, any other devices listed by lsusb that might be the one ?
[11:59] <meowbuntu> paulus, #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions #kubuntu is the kubuntu support channel
[11:59] <jami> meowbuntu: tail -n 200 /var/log/Xorg.0.log     look for errors
[12:00] <oCean_> guntbert: that would be the 0.5.9. - at least that's what's on LP
[12:00] <sam__> anyone know how I can use sed to grab a load of txt files and dump them in a seperate folder? find . -name \*.txt -exec sed??? {} /again \;
[12:00] <paulus> I know, I'm trying to get support for ubuntu - kubuntu is running fine thankyou but my system is an ubuntu box
[12:01] <guntbert> oCean_: for karmic it should be <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:01] <jrib> sam__: why sed?
[12:01] <oCean_> guntbert: just noticed the naming difference on LP too ... :/
[12:01] <sam__> or any other tool, sed was suggested here yesterday
[12:01] <_nmap> hipitihop, The is a Elan Microeletronics Corp. I dont know what is this... Any other devices listed i know what is... sry for my bad english
[12:02] <jrib> sam__: why not « cp » ?
[12:02] <Andorin> So guys... I added compiz --replace to my startup applications so that it runs when I log in. (Somehow I guess it got turned off.) But it still doesn't run on login. Why?
[12:02] <sam__> OK how do I make the output of cp dump files in a folder?
[12:03] <jrib> Andorin: the proper way is to use System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Desktop Effects
[12:03] <jrib> sam__: cp copies files.  Tell it to copy the file « find » found to /again.
[12:03] <Andorin> jrib: I know. But the Visual Effects are getting reset to None every time I log in.
[12:03] <jrib> Andorin: does it happen with a new user?
[12:04] <qualitang> ubuntu 8.10, network manager won't automatically reconnect to wireless network after a router reboot. Any ideas?..
[12:04] <jrib> sam__: if you need a -exec example to work from, check "man find"
[12:04] <Andorin> jrib: I'd have to create another account to find out, but off the top of my head, I doubt it will.
[12:04] <geekyogi> I just broke the key 'u' on my keyboard... any app to map the key with other key like ctrl...???
[12:04] <jrib> Andorin: then create another account so you can find out...
[12:04] <jami> qualitang: give your a few min to boot
[12:04] <jrib> geekyogi: you can probably use xmodmap
[12:05] <sam__> sudo find . -name \*.txt -exec cp {} /folder \;
[12:05] <sam__>  does not seem to create the directory 'folder'
[12:05] <mark__0> hi, is there a way to make 'top' just dump out the process list once without refreshing?
[12:05] <jrib> sam__: create it...
[12:05] <jami> qualitang: give your rooter a few min to boot i mean
[12:05] <geekyogi> k.. will try tat.. :) thanks..
[12:05] <paulus> So I had upgrade to karmic with a 2.6.31 kernel, and the NIC worked OK until this morning
[12:05] <jrib> mark__0: maybe you want "-b" ?
[12:05] <sam__> $ mkdir folder
[12:05] <sam__> sam@sam-laptop:~/span/Onespace site data$ sudo find . -name \*.txt -exec cp {} /folder \;
[12:05] <sam__> sam@sam-laptop:~/span/Onespace site data$ cd fol
[12:05] <sam__> bash: cd: fol: No such file or directory
[12:05] <sam__> sam@sam-laptop:~/span/Onespace site data$ cd folder/
[12:05] <FloodBot4> sam__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:05] <sam__> sam@sam-laptop:~/span/Onespace site data/folder$ ls
[12:06] <theadmin> Can anyone tell why netstat gives a buncha weird lines starting with "unix" at the end of list? That's not even a protocol
[12:06] <sam__> jrib, http://pastebin.ca/1757319
[12:06] <jami> theadmin: that might be system sockets
[12:06] <paulus> The b44 module is still loaded, and the device shows up in the messsages, but not in the ifconfig output
[12:06] <theadmin> jami: Ah, makes sense. Thanks
[12:06] <jrib> sam__: first of all, why are you using sudo?  You copied the files to /folder, not ~/.../folder
[12:07] <Andorin> jrib: No.
[12:07] <jrib> Andorin: it works fine on a new account?
[12:07] <qualitang> jami: no matter how long i wait, the network manager will just sit there, waiting for me to confirm the WEP key, i just have to press OK and it will reconnect, won't do it automatically, even though it already has the key...
[12:07] <Andorin> jrib: Yeah.
[12:07] <iflema> mark__0 top -d 10 would refresh every 10 sec
[12:07] <sam__> without sudo; cp: cannot create regular file `/folder': Permission denied
[12:08] <jrib> sam__: because "/folder" is not the same as "~/.../folder"
[12:08] <jami> qualitang: you have to save your password
[12:08] <jrib> sam__: /folder is an absolute path.
[12:09] <Asad> I am getting this error while trying to install virtualbox non-free: http://pastebin.com/d2c1b219b  :s
[12:09] <qualitang> jami: password is saved, it just waits for me to press OK to reconnect, i don't have to put the password in again..
[12:10] <theadmin> sam__: Yeah, for a relative path use, like, ./folder
[12:10] <theadmin> (I guess)
[12:10] <jami> qualitang: a mom i got that behaviour on my own
[12:10] <sam__> OK working now, thanks all
[12:10] <jrib> Andorin: well now we're sure it's a configuration issue.  First, get rid of that startup command you added.  I believe Desktop Effects uses gconf, so check your permissions on gconf.  Do you know how to do this?
[12:11] <Andorin> jrib: Sure, hold on
[12:11] <jami> qualitang: but after a fail connection the NM works again
[12:11] <tishamme1> what is the policy to set CLASSPATH systemwide?
[12:11] <jrib> tishamme1: /etc/environment is probably best
[12:12] <Andorin> jrib: Actually, the "checking permissions w/ gconf" bit is new to me.
[12:12] <livingdaylight> hello
[12:12] <ubuntu_> hi
[12:12] <jrib> tishamme1: or maybe /etc/profile
[12:12] <ubuntu_> i need some help
[12:12] <tishamme1> jrib: ok. is there a policy about what dir i should put there? meaning: where is the dir for jar extensions? where does ubuntu packages install java ext libraries?
[12:12] <livingdaylight> how do i reduce a jpg in size as in mb size. For eg. from 5mb to 4mb
[12:12] <jrib> Andorin: find ~/.gconf ~/.config ! -user $USER      should be a start
[12:13] <jrib> tishamme1: oh, that.  I don't know
[12:13] <ubuntu_> im soooo f#$%%
[12:13] <tishamme1> jrib: ok thanks
[12:13] <qualitang> jami: this kinda describes my problem better.. http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1244552.html
[12:13] <jrib> tishamme1: dpkg -L will list paths a package installed if that helps
[12:13] <Andorin> jrib: No output.
[12:14] <VELENOSO> irc:///drive-in
[12:14] <ubuntu_> i accidentally erased the drive (thanks to my 2 year old niece pushing buttons) that had ubuntu on it
[12:15] <jrib> Andorin: alright, guess we have to figure out how exactly Desktop Effects stores the setting
[12:15] <blackest_knight> Anyone willing to allow an ssh login ?
[12:15] <tishamme1> ubuntu_: will a monkey randomly typing on a keyboard type "sudo rm -rf /" ?
[12:15] <jrib> blackest_knight: no, don't ask for that here.  There are plenty of shell providers on google
[12:16] <DJones> !danger | tishamme1
[12:16] <ubuntu_> now im getting error 17
[12:16] <jrib> won't work anyway

[12:17] <VELENOSO_> irc:///mega_fantasy

[12:17] <iflema> Asad @ the bottom
[12:17] <VELENOSO_> irc:///mega_fantasy
[12:18] <jami> qualitang: yes thats my problem too!
[12:18] <hipitihop> _nmap, don't worry about your English. Nut you will need to understand the real manufacturer of your device and then you should be able to find if there is a driver available for it
[12:18] <LjL> VELENOSO_: don't do that please
[12:18] <Andorin> jrib: Alrighty, I'm fine with that.
[12:19] <jrib> Andorin: I think there's a key for the window manager gnome uses in gconf.  You should be able to find it if you search for "compiz" or "metacity" in key values (I don't have desktop effects).  See if that's what gets changed when you toggle the setting in the gui.  Also someone in #compiz might just know
[12:19] <qualitang> jami: lol.. gotta find somethin to fix it!.. wonder is there a script you could run to check network staus and connect if disconnected.. or another network manager?
[12:19] <Armageddon> how do I make a user a sudoer ?
[12:20] <jrib> Armageddon: add him/her to the admin group
[12:20] <Armageddon> jrib, thanks
[12:21] <hipitihop> _nmap, this might also help: do "sudo mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb" and then "sudo cat /proc/bus/usb/devices" you should be able to find the same device id's but also now see what driver is laoded if any.
[12:21] <barf> Anyone got a clue on how to run Ubuntu on this: http://pastebin.com/f26e6cc08

[12:22] <sapastra> cojonudo jejeje
[12:22] <hipitihop> _nmap, that is all I can help with at the moment. Once you know what the real manufacturer is then you will be able to see what driver you need and if it is loaded.

[12:29] <sandeep> can i boot a system with .iso file ?
[12:29] <jm95> what version does that install please amikrop
[12:31] <GG19> im having trouble with cairo dock
[12:31] <GG19> I get a black box around it and its all glitchy
[12:32] <jm95> amikrop: is that the 3.3.3 version
[12:32] <AshishMalik> when i try to run nautilus in fluxbox (ubuntu), desktop icon appears, desktop background is set to the that i have in gnome, and i can't access the applications by right clicking on the desktop. Any help ?
[12:32] <amikrop> jm95: I am not sure
[12:33] <amikrop> jm95: try and see ;)
[12:33] <underdev> i have added a ppa and checked "apt-cache policy", and i see it at the top of the version table.  Now if i "apt-get install" the package, will the ppa version (latest and greatest) be installed, or do i have to specify it in some way?
[12:33] <amikrop> hipitihop: do you have any ideas? :)
[12:33] <underdev> ie, can i tell apt that i want to prefer files from the ppa?
[12:34] <pjotr> AshishMalik: nautilus --no-desktop
[12:34] <Dr_Willis> the ppa versions always seem to take presidence here underdev
[12:35] <underdev> okay, thanks.  I'M GOING FOR IT :)
[12:35] <Guest1530> i have a .iso setup in external drive, how can i boot a pc without writing this iso on cd
[12:36] <jm95> amikrop: its only an old version
[12:36] <Dr_Willis> Guest1530:  you can set up grub2 to boot a iso file - depending on the disrto On the iso file
[12:36] <DJones> Guest1530: To install ubunutu from an iso?
[12:36] <Guest1530> yes
[12:36] <Guest1530> 9.10
[12:37] <underdev> Dr_Willis: ty, yes it prefered the newer packages in the PPA
[12:37] <underdev> appreciate your help
[12:37] <Dr_Willis> Guest1530:  you can install grub2 to the external drive and make a proper grub.cfg to boot the iso file
[12:37] <GG19> okay bigger problem i cant even close the cairo dock now I tell it to exit and it reopens
[12:37] <obiwan_> maybe there's a daemon relaunching it
[12:37] <Guest1530> Dr_willis: need some more explanation
[12:37] <jami> Guest1530: tried unetbootin?
[12:38] <Dr_Willis> !grub2 | Guest1530
[12:38] <Dr_Willis> Guest1530:  also see my list of links at http://delicious.com/dr_willis under the grub2 tags
[12:38] <AshishMalik> how do i get to know how many packets or bytes of data is outgoing and incoming in my ubuntu ? Plzz help  . .
[12:38] <Dr_Willis> Guest1530:  prioberly easier to use unetbootin and a spare flash drive to make a bootable 'installer flash ddrive'
[12:39] <hipitihop> amikrop, the only idea I have is that it sounds like a broken or dirty keyboard with one or more of the keys sticking.
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> AshishMalik:  thers various network monitor tools. conky can do it, as can gkrellem and proberly a dozen others if you want 'realtime' status. If you want in depth analisys - theres ntop
[12:40] <DJones> Guest1530: If you've got a usb key and your machine is capeable of booting from usb in the bios settings, you could create a bootable usb key and install from that
[12:40] <amikrop> hipitihop: it is a laptop keyboard, so, I shouldn't remove any keys for cleaning, right?
[12:40] <DJones> !usb | Guest1530
[12:40] <Dr_Willis> amikrop:  i find that laptop keys normally dont pop off.
[12:40] <Dr_Willis> amikrop:  at least not in the same ways that many desktop keyboards do -  :)
[12:41] <Guest1530> thanks
[12:41] <hipitihop> amikrop, so you need to eliminate that possibility. One way is to plug in another keyboard. If it works, then you know it is your keyboard. If the problem persists then we would have to look elsewhere. since you do not have naother one, then the only other thing I can think of is to try and clean the keybaord and make sure there is nothing stuck between keys etc.
[12:42] <AshishMalik> thanks
[12:43] <hipitihop> amikrop, I am not a hardware person so I have no idea about laptop keyboards so yes I would advise caution removing anything. A lot of keyboards are usb these days, a frined have one you can borrow ?
[12:43] <sravan> Will "sed -i -e '97d' /home/sravan/Desktop/file.txt"  comment out 97th line in that file or remove that line of the file ?
[12:43] <sravan> Sorry for asking a question which is not topic of this channel
[12:44] <Dr_Willis> I though the 'd' option in sed deleted..
[12:44] <Dr_Willis> sravan:  make a backup iof the file and try it and see what it does. :)
[12:44] <hipitihop> amikrop, if you really suspect software as the problem, then why don't you boot it from a live-cd
[12:45] <amikrop> hipitihop, Dr_Willis: OK, thank you, I 'll try what you both suggested.
[12:46] <JonathanEllis> I have a question about Google Chrome. I cant find any info on the Smart Bookmarks button. The folder just stays empty and there is an "Other Bookmarks" button which has all my bookmarks in it. What is Smart Bookmarks for?

[12:46] <hipitihop> amikrop, good luck.
[12:46] <David12841> hey, anyone knows a good audio player where i can select music from folders instead of albums/artists?
[12:47] <JonathanEllis> David12841: I think Amarok might do what you want
[12:47] <Dr_Willis> David12841:  most of them ive seen can do that..  Or just drag/drop the whole folder to the player and it makes a playlist for that directory
[12:48] <jami> qualitang: a heartbeat simulated by a ping =)
[12:48] <David12841> i tried banshee, rythmbox and listen and they cant handle it Dr_Willis
[12:48] <David12841> i'll try amarok JonathanEllis
[12:48] <Dr_Willis> or you are overlooking how it does it.  But i tend to just use audacious.
[12:49] <qualitang> jami: lol
[12:49] <qualitang> jami: havn't got time to try it now..
[12:49] <yamaha> Dr_Willis; have a nice day.
[12:49] <mercutio22> David12841: in Rhythmbox you can create a playlist with files from a particular folder
[12:49] <qualitang> jami: will try in a few days.... exams are upon me...!
[12:50] <arand> David12841: I like gmusicbrowser for that very purpose
[12:50] <jve> Hi all, I have got a weird problem. When i play audio the sound is crackling but if i open the puse volume control (pavucontrol) the crackling stops and as long as i have the control window open the audio sounds fine. If i close the volume control the audio starts crackling again.
[12:50] <arand> David12841: I also know decibel is a very simplistic one that does just that
[12:50] <David12841> its not what i need mercutio22, i have a huge collection of classical music, and a lot of it doesnt have an artist/album labelling that works
[12:50] <jami> qualitang: Thats nice and will work because it will restart the nm. But what did it do when there is no network attached
[12:51] <Dr_Willis> I just drag/drop a directory to Rythmbox;s playlist and it adds the files from the directory..
[12:51] <AshishMalik> exaile music player does not show lyrics when i play a song. How do i do it ?
[12:51] <mercutio22> David12841: as I said, you can create the playlist containing the files from a folder, irrespective of metadata quality.
[12:51]  * Dr_Willis seconds what mercutio22  says
[12:51] <qualitang> jami: haven't tried it yet...
[12:52] <jami> qualitang: don't forget to test that point :)
[12:52] <plitter> does anyone have fulltilt poker working on ubuntu 9.10?
[12:53] <Dr_Willis> plitter:  is that a windows game? or what
[12:53] <misterB> anybody know of a free VPN service that works with Ubunut?
[12:53] <slumber_> hi
[12:53] <qualitang> jami: will do! cheers man...!
[12:53] <jami> misterB: openvpn?
[12:54] <plitter> Dr_Willis: its a windows game, installed it with wine, but it didnt start....
[12:54] <misterB> jami: Yeah, but problem is I need to know if there's a free service available out there that uses openvpn
[12:54] <slumber_> how i get permission to handle partitions on partition manager?
[12:55] <jami> plitter: did you check the compatibility on winehq.org?
[12:55] <epinky> !appdb
[12:55] <jami> misterB: In most cases your company has the other end X)
[12:56] <David12841> mercutio22: is it possible to have a list of al my cd's as a collection of folders in rythmbox?
[12:56] <Dr_Willis_> Hmm.. i think i enabled my free vpn and got hung up. :)
[12:56] <misterB> jami: yeah, I know. Here's the situation. I'm in a country blocking facebook among other sites, and trying to get access.
[12:56] <AshishMalik> Hey guys, My EXAILE PLayer is not showing lyrics after i play a song. Can u help me ?????
[12:56] <mercutio22> David12841: no, I see what you mean
[12:56] <slumber_> ow i get permission to handle partitions on partition manager?
[12:57] <Myrtti> AshishMalik: there is a plugin you can install
[12:57] <sash_> slumber_: gksu
[12:57] <Dr_Willis_> slumber_:  run the partion manager as root.
[12:57] <jami> misterB: what?
[12:57] <AshishMalik> Myrtti: I enabled it, still no success
[12:57] <chris|> AshishMalik, try #exaile
[12:57] <slumber_> tks
[12:57] <mercutio22> David12841: indeed that would be a cool feature to have to mass-solve the metadata problem.
[12:57] <David12841> arand decibel doesn't work from the repositories
[12:57] <AshishMalik> ok..
[12:58] <plitter> jami: it seems like it is compatible for the latest version of winehq, going to try to install it and see
[12:58] <David12841> i know amarok did have it mercutio22
[12:58] <misterB> jami: hotspotshield works for windows, but I can't find anything analogous to hotspotshield for linux
[12:58] <David12841> i'm installing it now to check if it still does have that feature
[12:59] <jami> misterB: isn't that a firewall tool?
[12:59] <jrib> misterB: there are lots of free (or really cheap) shell providers that you could use
[12:59] <knxville> Is there a command to move files named for example: number1, number2, number3.. so it's like "mv number1+2+3+4+5+6 ./numbers" ?!
[12:59] <mjrosenb> hey, i seem to be unable to upgrade this laptop from intrepid
[12:59] <mjrosenb> anyone have any ideas?

[12:59] <misterB> jrib: care to point me in any sort of direction?
[13:00] <geojanm> hi.. i try to view a wmv video in openoffice but there is always a "?"... converting with vlc oder handbrake does not work, any ideas?
[13:00] <geojanm> but playing with vlc is ok
[13:00] <misterB> jami: hotspotshield is free VPN service
[13:01] <jami> misterB: ah ok :) mixed it up with hotspotshield . com
[13:01] <David12841> it still does have that feature mercutio22, i can make you a screenshot if you want
[13:01] <David12841> but amaroks interface is ugly :s
[13:01] <jami> the new one
[13:02] <jami> yes it's ugly
[13:02] <David12841> i want a gnome interface for amarok :p
[13:02] <jami> build one
[13:03] <Emry> Are there any special instructions to follow with the 9.10 Netbook remix under vista? For some reason it lets me select the thumb drive and select an amount of reserved space, but does not let me click the Make Startup Disk Button.
[13:03] <hipitihop> are there any bt hardware diagnostics I can run for my dongle/keyboard/mouse
[13:03] <shenery> Hi guys really new to Ubuntu and ive got all my stuff working accept my graphtech plotter
[13:04] <arand> Emry: I think you might have to reformat the usb..
[13:04] <hipitihop> alternatively what log can I monitor from the bluetooth stack to diagnose periodic keyboard/mouse drop out
[13:04] <mjrosenb> nobody knows why i would be unable to upgrade from intrepid to *anything* newer?
[13:04] <pjotr> knxville: mv number?
[13:04] <shenery> there is a tutorial online but i can seem to get it working
[13:04] <Emry> arand, :-) Reformatting now. ^_^  Fat32 is ok?
[13:05] <shenery> this is the webpage i fond with the driver http://vidar.gimp.org/graphtecprint/
[13:06] <arand> Emry: hmm, might work, although I'm not sure what the usb creator will use in the end..
[13:07] <Johnny_425> ubuntu 9.10 won't remember my network settings
[13:08] <Audible> quick question
[13:08] <Audible> the ubuntu installer
[13:08] <Audible> and partitioner
[13:08] <choonming> can someone point me how to create a legend box in dia?
[13:08] <Audible> does it resize the partition, or does it repartition it ( so you have to reinstall windows if you make an additional ubuntu partition )
[13:08] <Johnny_425> It resizes the partition
[13:09] <noXandOs> So I am comfortable enough to stop running Ubuntu via virtualbox and actually install it on my pc. Is there a certain way I need to remove it or can I just uninstall virtualbox?
[13:09] <knxville> pjotr: im aware of the command to move a single file, but if I want to move like 100 files, starting from file1 -> file 100.
[13:09] <Audible> Johnnny : so it doesnt delete Windows partition if i choose to install it ?
[13:09] <DJones> Audible: It will do either depending on what you ask, if you're resizing though, its always worth making a backup beforehand in case something goes wrong
[13:09] <arand> Audible: depends on what you choose, default is resize and create a new ubuntu alongside
[13:09] <Audible> okey, and keep the windows with a smaller side?
[13:09] <knxville> noXandOs, What do you mean?
[13:09] <Johnny_425> If you don't choose to install it on the whole disk
[13:10] <Audible> yep
[13:10] <choonming> can someone point me how to create a legend box in dia?
[13:10] <Johnny_425> Audible: If you don't choose to install it on the whole disk
[13:10] <arand> Audible: yes, it should be clear what it's doing from the installer screen.
[13:10] <knxville> noXandOs, you can just uninstall virtual box, and install ubuntu on your partition.
[13:10] <timwood> Good morning
[13:10] <noXandOs> ok
[13:10] <pjotr> knxville, mv number*
[13:10] <zvacet> Audible: it can resize or delete,create new ones depends what do you want to do
[13:11] <noXandOs> i am gonna try to go 7 days without using windows
[13:11] <timwood> Can someone help me figure out why a ssh fingerprint from a server might have changed.
[13:11] <knxville> pjotr: thanks... so it's just the "filename*" the * indicating everything starting with filename?
[13:11] <Johnny_425> GOOD BYE
[13:11] <Audible> noXandOs : depending on what programs you run everyday, you'll be happy
[13:11] <noXandOs> i dont do anything special
[13:12] <Audible> if its watching porn and reading email then linux is the right for you
[13:12] <sipior> timwood: installation of a new operating system is a common culprit.
[13:12] <noXandOs> ive just never felt helpless in front of a computer before in my life
[13:12] <timwood> As far as I can tell, the public key has not changed.  Only things that changed between when I last connected was an update of openssl was applied.
[13:12] <knxville> noXandOs, It's really easy... Just use this forum or google.. It find it much easier to get help as a linux user than a windows user.
[13:12] <noXandOs> it kinda sucks
[13:12] <zvacet> noXandOs:  why do you use windows
[13:12] <noXandOs> because it came with my pc
[13:12] <noXandOs> :/
[13:12] <brijith> Guys help needed. I was having dual boot Xp and ubuntu. What happened is when I removed Xp I lost the boot loaded how can I restore, I have ubuntu9.10 install CD with me
[13:12] <timwood> sipior: are you aware of any tests I can run or things I can check to see why the fingerprint changed?  I've checked and there is no man in the middle involved.
[13:13] <mjrosenb> can anyone think of any reason that a machine running intrepid would not want to upgrade?
[13:13] <arand> brijith: did you fresh install ubuntu, (not upgrade from 9.04?)
[13:13] <zvacet> noXandOs: good point  ;)  you will get used to Ubuntu just give it some tome
[13:13] <noXandOs> i like ubuntu but the file system scares me
[13:13] <brijith> arand:no it was there when I removed Xp
[13:14] <sipior> timwood: check the timestamps on the host keys in /etc/ssh
[13:14] <noXandOs> i know what my old man feels like when he is sitting in front of a compter
[13:14] <arand> brijith: yes but initially when you installed ubuntu, did you install 9.10?
[13:14] <zvacet> noXandOs:  nothing to be scared of just one step at the tome what you don't know just ask here or on forums
[13:14] <brijith> yes
[13:14] <timwood> sipior: I did via a regular ls -lrt command.  Could you give me some better commands to run to check timestamps?
[13:15] <arand> brijith: ok, then the bootloader will be grub2.
[13:15] <brijith> arand: sorry it is not 9.10 it ts 9.04
[13:15] <sipior> timwood: ls -l is perfectly fine :-)
[13:15] <llutz> timwood: stat /etc/ssh/ssh_host*
[13:15] <brijith> arand:but the CD I ahve with me now is 9.10
[13:15] <timwood> sipior: ls -l showed last modified months ago.
[13:15] <arand> brijith: ah, then it will be "grub-legacy" Then
[13:15] <timwood> llutz: I will try stat
[13:15] <Emry> If the USB drive is too large, will it ignore it? :/
[13:16] <timwood> Any other ideas before I head down to server room, as I cannot safely connect to the machine via ssh.
[13:16] <sipior> timwood: i think you're making a bit much out of this, frankly.
[13:17] <brijith> arand:can I recover  using  ubunt u9.10 install CD
[13:17] <sipior> timwood: are you the only one responsible for this machine?
[13:17] <timwood> really?  How can I trust my server's identity if it's ssh key fingerprint has changed.
[13:17] <timwood> sipior: yes.
[13:17] <arand> brijith: so from the liveCD you'll first have to install grub ("legacy"), look in synaptic for the package named "grub" it should be version ~0.97 or something, and install that (this will remove the grub-pc package, which is as it should be)
[13:17] <dexterddit> exit
[13:17] <timwood> I'm considering having our CIRT have a look at it just in case.
[13:17] <jrib> timwood: there was update maybe a year ago that changed keys because they weren't safe, but the update made it clear that it was going to do so
[13:18] <timwood> jrib: got link or update number?  I'll search in the meantime.
[13:18] <timwood> by the way this is a Ubuntu 9.04 server.
[13:19] <brijith> arand:u says I have to go live on 9.10 and install grub
[13:19] <jrib> timwood: if you run updates regularly then it shouldn't be it.  Googling something like "debian ssh fiasco" should get you info about what I'm referring to
[13:19] <timwood> thanks jrib
[13:19] <brijith> arand:will it get installed in the already existing ubuntu installation
[13:20] <timwood> I do run updates regularly and this server hasn't been installed for very long to begin with.  Sometime late last year.
[13:20] <timwood> just before 9.10 came out.
[13:20] <arand> brijith: yes, boot into the liveCD, and then downgrade the temporary version used there from grub2->grub-legacy according to instructions above, no this will only apply to the liveCD temporary environment, but we need that to be able to restore it to the disk in the next step
[13:21] <llutz> timwood: then it shouldn't be affected by that key-change
[13:21] <Draccy> Alrighty. I've upgraded to Karmic and I'd like my old GDM setup back. What do I do?
[13:21] <brijith> arand:oky tell me the steps I will not it down and try it
[13:21] <blinkiz> Hi. I need to find a string in many files. '</div></span></span>' is the string. grep -R '</div></span></span>' ./* did not work. Any suggestion how to solve this?
[13:21] <timwood> So theoretically someone might have gotten "root" on my machine and changed the keys and covered their tracks with regard to timestamps?
[13:22] <sipior> timwood: unlikely, but possible, i suppose. have you reinstalled the openssh package at any time recently?
[13:23] <bicz> hello
[13:23] <arand> brijith: http://pastebin.com/m6360b19a (quoting myself)
[13:23] <timwood> I'll double check on the openssh package, but I don't think so.  I just run the standard updates from ubuntu.
[13:23] <bicz> is it possible to delay programs @ startup?
[13:24] <jrib> bicz: like?
[13:24] <brijith> arand:oky that will install the grub in to the live environment. what I have to do next
[13:24] <brijith> ?
[13:25] <bicz> jrib: i have xchat and emesene in "system-preferences-startup" and i would like to delay them
[13:25] <oistopthat> delay or stop on startup bicz
[13:25] <jrib> bicz: create a shell script and have it "sleep N" where N is the number of seconds, before starting your application
[13:25] <timwood> thanks jrib, llutz and sipior for the advice.
[13:26] <arand> brijith: It'd be good if you could join the chat here from the liveCD, but I could link you to a page of instructions.
[13:26] <mjrosenb> is ubuntu supposed to add repositories other than intrepid at any point in time?
[13:26] <David12841> btw, is there a possibility that i can introduce a volume control button on the taskbar? there is one in the system tray (ubuntu 9.10) but i dont think its very easy to use
[13:26] <masachosa> Hi boys, who is founder of Ubuntu Linux, or Cannonical?
[13:27] <jrib> mjrosenb: what does that mean?  What are you trying to accomplish?
[13:27] <Pici> !sabdfl | masachosa
[13:27] <bicz> jrib: ok thanks u think it will work if in the commannd line i put " sleep 10 xchat " ?
[13:27] <mjrosenb> jrib: i am attempting to upgrade from intrepid to *anything* newer
[13:27] <jrib> bicz: no, and what command line are you takling about?
[13:27] <masachosa> ubottu cosmonaut? :-) Ok, thanks you.
[13:27] <jrib> mjrosenb: jaunty and karmic are both available
[13:27] <mjrosenb> jrib: and nothing seems to know about any newer repositories or package manager
[13:27] <mjrosenb> jrib: i know
[13:28] <jrib> !upgrade > mjrosenb
[13:28] <bicz> the GUI on System -> Preferences
[13:28] <masachosa> And what is Ubuntu, Gnu/Linux or Linux?
[13:28] <bicz> jrib:  the GUI on System -> Preferences
[13:28] <Draccy> Oh wait...
[13:28] <Draccy> Oh god...
[13:28] <Draccy> It can't be configured?!
[13:28] <Draccy> Urgh. ._.
[13:28] <FloodBot1> Draccy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:28] <jrib> bicz: no, you need to create your own little shell script in a text editor.  line 1: #!/bin/bash   line 2:  sleep 10    line 3: xchat
[13:28] <jrib> bicz: then make it executable and add that to your startup
[13:29] <bicz> ok understood tnx
[13:29] <dinosaurvskitten> are there alternatives to skype that a) actually work on linux and b) can connect to skype's network?
[13:29] <zvacet> mjrosenb:  ubuntu will not add  other repos you will have to do it or you done it already
[13:30] <timwood> One more question: is there a command in Ubuntu that will show when a package was installed, compiled/built, released, etc like how Red Hat has rpm -qi package-name?
[13:30] <masachosa> Boys, is there any new Interview with Linus Torvalds? Whats news about him?
[13:30] <zvacet> masachosa:  every distro is gnu/linux
[13:30] <jrib> zvacet: he shouldn't have to add any repositories to upgrade
[13:30] <jrib> !ot | masachosa
[13:30] <eshat> AcroRead freezes with 100% CPU, when I Click Properties on Print Dialog, how to solve this issue ? Reinstalling and removing .adobe didn't help...
[13:30] <bazhang> masachosa, please take chit chat to #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:30] <mjrosenb> jrib: the screen that says "New distribution release '...' is available"
[13:30] <masachosa> goin ubuntu offtopis..sor
[13:30] <mjrosenb> jrib: does not seem to exist
[13:30] <masachosa> sorry
[13:31] <jrib> mjrosenb: did you see the link ubottu gave, it's likely to have some troubleshooting suggestions
[13:31] <zvacet> jrib: I didn't follow from beginning of course not if he want to upgrade via network
[13:31] <arand> brijith: http://pastebin.com/m7361112a should be fairly complete instructions for it, but if something doesn't work, it might be sueful if you could get into this chat from the liveCD, you should be able to do that from Empathy (chat client) I think
[13:32] <davertron> how do i get the same ubuntu menu (the ubuntu symbol) and the "Places" and "Systems" menus on a new panel?
[13:32] <jrib> davertron: right click -> add to panel
[13:32] <R1kARD0> hello
[13:33] <davertron> jrib: ah, Menu Bar
[13:33] <davertron> jrib: I used the other one, that's slightly different, and didn't even notice that one
[13:33] <R1kARD0> hey, i have a little trouble with my session , when i log in the only thing that i see is a terminal, without borders, no panels, nothing
[13:33] <davertron> jrib: thanks
[13:33] <R1kARD0> and only the background,

[13:34] <nastas> hi all
[13:34] <brijith> arand:Oky thanks, Let me try
[13:34] <timwood> Anyone know of the equivalent command to rpm -qi to show the install date and possibly other information about a package?
[13:35] <llutz> timwood: aptitude show packagename      but no install-date
[13:36] <timwood> llutz:  :-(
[13:36] <timwood> Maybe a feature request I should submit.
[13:36] <sipior> timwood: the logs in /var/log/apt will show the installation date
[13:36] <timwood> thanks sipior!
[13:37] <timwood> thanks again for the help
[13:37] <abu> i was install ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10 i want to remve one how i remove any one help me
[13:38] <sipior> hmm...actually those timestamps are pretty coarse.
[13:38] <abu> plz tell me
[13:38] <abu> how i remove that
[13:39] <abu> any one help me
[13:39] <sriramoman> how do I remove grub2 safely from my hard disk
[13:40] <arvind_khadri> sriramoman, install grub or lilo
[13:40] <arand> sriramoman: in what way exatcly, the mbr you generally just overwrite (since it's completely useless empty))
[13:41] <sriramoman> I want no loaders on the hard disk. it is an external hard disk, I want it without anymore sort of grub or lilo
[13:41] <abu> how i remove 9.04 from mypc
[13:41] <Darael> Has anyone got any idea why Firefox is segfaulting every time I try to launch it in Karmic? It was fine yesterday...
[13:41] <arvind_khadri> abu, format the partition
[13:41] <abu> how
[13:42] <abu> actually i was install ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10
[13:42] <arvind_khadri> abu, you mean you want to install 9.10 ?
[13:42] <arand> Darael: corrupt profile would be a guess, try running "firefox -P" and creating a new one.
[13:42] <Darael> abu: If you installed with Wubi, remove it from within Windows, otherwise just put something else over the top.  If you're in a dual-boot situation, use the partition manager for whichever OS you want to keep to remove the other partitions.
[13:42] <abu> i already installed both 9.04 and 9.10
[13:42] <silverrocker> hey quick question. I want to the clock/date app in gnome-panel to display the date in another format how can I change this. or what other applet do I need?
[13:43] <Darael> arand: Thanks for the tip, but it segfaults with -P too!
[13:43] <abu> i want to remove 9.04
[13:43] <arvind_khadri> silverrocker, check the properties in the clock applet
[13:43] <arand> Darael: ah, then it's probably something else, and I'm as clueless as you.
[13:43] <silverrocker> arvind_khadri: I tried nothing there
[13:43] <arvind_khadri> abu, use a live cd and just format the partitionm
[13:44] <abu> can you plz tell me how to do that
[13:44] <arvind_khadri> silverrocker, right click on it and you get preferences
[13:44] <silverrocker> arvind_khadri: I did that but I dont want that, I want to change the format that the date is displayed. I want it to do DD.MM.YYYY
[13:44] <arvind_khadri> abu, boot from the live cd, and then go till the partition table step and then format the drive which has 9.04
[13:45] <abu> ok i will try
[13:45] <arand> arvind_khadri: abu: it may be the case that the grub in use is still on the 9.04 partition, which might cause problems if not fixed before removing..
[13:46] <arand> arvind_khadri: abu: Or rather, you'll have to reinstall it from the liveCD..
[13:46] <nastas> problems while playing .mkv movie. any idea???
[13:46] <abu> how i use live cd
[13:46] <abu> live cd meand
[13:46] <arvind_khadri> arand, what if 9.10 was installed after 9.04
[13:46] <abu> ya
[13:47] <linenoise> How do I disable my touchpad?  I googled, but none of the solutions worked.  I'm running karmic on a e6500 (synaptics touchpad client fails to disable touchpad)
[13:47] <linenoise> I mean without taping an insulator over the damn thing.
[13:47] <arand> arvind_khadri: I don't know what it does with the bootloaders if it just overwrites the mbr and uses grub2 on the 9.10 partition, it seems logical it should, but I'm not completely sure...
[13:47] <abu> ok
[13:49] <arvind_khadri> linenoise, system->preferences->mouse ??
[13:49] <linenoise> arvind_khadri: yeah, no
[13:49] <ouyes> hi all how can i make a connection between my htc phone and my laptop via bluetooth?
[13:50] <arvind_khadri> linenoise, does it help?
[13:50] <linenoise> I've installed and tried tpconfig, I've removed the f'ing thing from my xorg.conf (which doesn't exist in karmic anymore, which is stupid), it will not go away
[13:50] <ouyes> i open the bluetooth wizard but it can not find my htc
[13:50] <linenoise> and every time my thumb even comes near it, the stupid pointer flies off the screen
[13:50] <linenoise> arvind_khadri: not at all
[13:50] <linenoise> arvind_khadri: no effect whatsoever
[13:50] <jrib> linenoise: theres' usually a bios setting
[13:51] <linenoise> there is no bios setting on the e6500
[13:51] <arvind_khadri> linenoise, modprobe -r psmouse
[13:51] <Darael> silverrocker: try alt+f2, enter "gconf-editor" and change keys in /apps/panel/applets/clock_screen0/prefs - change the fromat key to "custom" and the custom_format key to "%d.%m.%y %r %p" for 12-hour time, or replace the "%r %p" with "%R" for 24-your time.  The dots are just formatting, you can freely change them.
[13:51] <pomas> test
[13:51] <linenoise> arvind_khadri: I still want a mouse (track stick) just not the touchpad
[13:51] <linenoise> arvind_khadri: but thanks
[13:51] <linenoise> arvind_khadri: that will work if nothing else does
[13:51] <arand> !liveCD > abu
[13:52] <pomas> russia?
[13:52] <Darael> Anyone know what might cause segfaults upon launch of Firefox, besides a corrupted profile?
[13:52] <Pici> !ru | pomas
[13:52] <troopperi> !bluetooth
[13:52] <abu> ok
[13:52] <pomas> да шарю я
[13:52] <arvind_khadri> !touchpad | linenoise did you read this?
[13:53] <aimtrainer> irc://irc.zenet.org:6667/pre
[13:53] <jrib> linenoise: right, as that link points out, you can use synclient to do it in software
[13:53] <aimtrainer> oups sry
[13:53] <linenoise> I tried synclient, no love
[13:54] <noisymouse> does make output file names as it compiles them or only after they have compiled?
[13:54] <jrib> linenoise: did you enable shmconfig?
[13:54] <linenoise> yes
[13:54] <jrib> linenoise: and you verified it was enabled?
[13:54] <linenoise> you know... this should not be this difficult... thank you all for your time... I'm not doing this... too frustrating... it works in windows even though I hate windows... sorry.. giving up...
[13:55] <Zta> How do I install the Glassfish appserver properly from packages?  All I get from 'apt-get install glassfish-*' is a bunch for jar files installed.  I'm particularly interested in 'asadmin' somewhere in my path and perhaps a '/etc/init.d/glassfish'
[13:55] <arvind_khadri> noisymouse, only after its done
[13:56] <nastas> anyone knows why i can't play .mkv video???
[13:56] <bazhang> nastas, with vlc ?
[13:56] <jrib> nastas: mkv is just a container
[13:56] <Zta> jrib: that
[13:57] <nastas> yes bazhang. with vlc or totem
[13:57] <Zta> ..wasn't the question =)
[13:57] <bazhang> nastas, probably not the codecs installed
[13:57] <arvind_khadri> nastas, iirc, mplayer plays it
[13:57] <newan> Hello, i have same problems between opensync: Error writing entry pas-id-4B55AC0A00000000 to member 2 (syncml-obex-client): Unable to commit change. Error 415

[13:58] <eshat> Hi all. My Adobe Reader (9.3)freezes with 100% CPU, when I Click Properties on Print Dialog. Reinstalling and removing .adobe didn't help...
[13:58] <bazhang> nastas, likely corrupted file then
[13:58] <boscop> why does ubuntu suggest installing kernel 2.6.31 when I have 2.6.32? how can I remove it from the available updates list?
[13:58] <nastas> it plays fine in my friends windows desktop
[13:58] <Darael> eshat: Not a complete solution, but does it need to be Adobe Reader? There's quite a lot of apps that can read PDFs in Ubuntu.
[13:59] <wrapster> how do i mount an ISO in ubuntu?
[13:59] <nastas> bazhang: and i'm talking about the same dvd
[13:59] <wrapster> i mean.. to read the contents of the ISO
[13:59] <eshat> Darael: I use okular myself, but I am working at the university and a lot of ppl need adobe reader
[13:59] <arand> boscop: you can lock/block packages in synaptic/apt, not sure specifically how though.
[13:59] <SeaOrifice> can someone help me in compiling a driver module for an ethernet card ???
[14:00] <jrib> !iso | wrapster
[14:00] <arvind_khadri> !iso | wrapster
[14:00] <arvind_khadri> jrib, jinx :)
[14:00] <jrib> arvind_khadri: you owe me a coke!
[14:00] <arvind_khadri> jrib, anytime :)
[14:00] <jaguar6> hi everyone!
[14:01] <arvind_khadri> !hi | jaguar6
[14:01] <jaguar6> i have a very urgend but minor problem
[14:01] <zw> hi,jayuar6
[14:01] <chiiiiiz> hi!!
[14:01] <arvind_khadri> jaguar6, ask away :)
[14:01] <jaguar6> someone here willing to help me
[14:01] <Darael> !ask | jaguar6
[14:01] <jaguar6> i just installed a .jar file
[14:01] <chiiiiiz> does anyone know how to improve the display with a Intel  82915G/GV/910GL chipset... I am stuck at 1024x768 on a Karmic
[14:01] <jaguar6> the setup asks me for a location to which i want to install the program
[14:01] <jaguar6> what would the path be
[14:02] <newan> java -jar jarfile.jar
[14:02] <SeaOrifice> Re : can someone help me in compiling a driver module for an ethernet card ???
[14:02] <Frozenball> it's yours to choose?
[14:02] <jaguar6> yeah i got the .jar working
[14:02] <arvind_khadri> SeaOrifice, yeah
[14:02] <jaguar6> this is a very general question
[14:02] <jaguar6> where do i install my programs to
[14:03] <Darael> jaguar6: If you want it for your own user only, put it somewhere in ~/ - otherwise, non-distro software is usually installed in /opt
[14:03] <jaguar6> im absolutely new to this
[14:03] <SeaOrifice> actually the source of the driver is part of kernel
[14:03] <Rigs77> ragazzi come si fa a scaricare i film con xchat? grazie a tutti
[14:03] <jaguar6> ok thx
[14:03] <SeaOrifice> but i want to compile only that driver module
[14:03] <Pici> !it | Rigs77
[14:03] <Leoneof`> hi, it is possible to make one partition for /root, and other partition for /var ?
[14:03] <Rigs77> ok grazie
[14:03] <noXandOs> Ok everyone I'm back.. Day 1 begins. *gulp*
[14:03] <llutz> Leoneof`: sure but /root is pointless
[14:03] <Darael> Leoneof`: Yaes - just choose manual partitioning at install time.
[14:04] <arvind_khadri> SeaOrifice, why do you want to compile it, if its already there in the kernel?
[14:04] <Zta> How do I install the Glassfish appserver properly from packages?  After I 'apt-get install glassfish-*' I only get a bunch for jar files installed.  I was expecting 'asadmin' somewhere in my $PATH and perhaps a '/etc/init.d/glassfish'.
[14:04] <jaguar6> Darael: it wont let me install to /opt
[14:04] <SeaOrifice> many a times, my card is not supported by some other linux distros
[14:04] <SeaOrifice> especially live distros
[14:04] <SeaOrifice> earlier
[14:04] <Leoneof`> Darael: what the purpose if i do this way?
[14:04] <jaguar6> it says something, sorry i have to translate, like the directory your aiming for cant be changed
[14:04] <SeaOrifice> ubuntu live didnt support
[14:05] <Darael> jaguar6: It may not exist as a folder, or maybe you aren't installing it as root.
[14:05] <SeaOrifice> bt recent 8.10 supported
[14:05] <jaguar6> do i have to install it as root?
[14:05] <Darael> jaguar6: probably not a good idea.
[14:05] <arvind_khadri> SeaOrifice, once support is added it stays
[14:05] <Darael> jaguar6: But only root can write to various folders, /opf being one.
[14:05] <jaguar6> im fucked, i need this program for a paper that i have to hand in tomorrow
[14:06] <l3ns> hi
[14:06] <SeaOrifice> arvind_khadri: i am using a Ubuntu based distro, in that it doesnt
[14:06] <Darael> jaguar6: Just put it somewhere in ~/ for now.
[14:06] <llutz> jaguar6: just install it to any dir inside your home
[14:06] <jaguar6> ok thx
[14:06] <arvind_khadri> SeaOrifice, have you installed it, which version, whats the card?
[14:06] <chiiiiiz> does anyone know how to improve the display with a Intel  82915G/GV/910GL chipset... I am stuck at 1024x768 on a Karmic
[14:06] <jaguar6> same problem
[14:06] <SeaOrifice> lemme give u all the details, hang on
[14:06] <arvind_khadri> !fixres | chiiiiiz
[14:07] <Leoneof`> llutz: what the purpose if i make separated partitions for example like /var and /root ? it is good or not?
[14:07] <llutz> Leoneof`: imho separat /root is senseless
[14:07] <Leoneof`> llutz: why?
[14:08] <Darael> Leoneof`: It depends - usually not needed on a desktop system, but putting /usr and /home on different disks to / can be useful.
[14:08] <SeaOrifice> arvind_khadri: have a look at KERNELSOURCEPATH/drivers/net/sc92031.c
[14:08] <llutz> Leoneof`: you actually shouldn't work as root so root won't have special things to keep
[14:08] <Darael> Leoneof`: /root is just root's home folder - it shouldn't have more than a few kilobytes in it anyway.
[14:08] <arvind_khadri> SeaOrifice, am asking which ubuntu version you are using, and whats the card model!!
[14:08] <llutz> Leoneof`: also it is very unlikely that /root fills your /-fs
[14:08] <SeaOrifice> i currently downloaded a linux kernel (source) and i found it
[14:08] <SeaOrifice> its there in that file arvind_khadri
[14:09] <llutz> Leoneof`: so where do you see any advantage in extra /root ?
[14:09] <hadean> heeeeeey guys y dont u help some nub: somehow i got it to work that my apache install wont start up with the system on a restart... can someone help?
[14:09] <arvind_khadri> SeaOrifice, are you using Karmic ??>
[14:09] <bloodski> i've got a problem with hdmi, it overscans the resolution, which makes the edges not visible, any ideas?
[14:09] <ouyes> hi everybody i want to have a bluetooth ear phone
[14:09] <SeaOrifice> arvind_khadri: i am asking in general
[14:09] <Leoneof`> Darael, llutz : when i tried to install Ubuntu, i've seen many options to make partitions like /var /root ...etc i cant remember more
[14:09] <Darael> Leoneof`: Some of the folders in / (the filesystem root, not the same as /root) are useful on their own partitions, it's just that /root isn't one of them... usually.
[14:10] <hadean> im using karmic up2date and the apache install was installed via apt from the general sources
[14:10] <ouyes> is anyone using it now?
[14:10] <llutz> Leoneof`: given options not always make sense
[14:10] <arvind_khadri> SeaOrifice, it cant be answered in general, and drivers from different trees cant be compiled... e.g drivers from 2.6.32 cant be used in 2.6.31
[14:10] <Darael> Leoneof`: /usr, /tmp, /var, /home and a few others can be useful, but those options are most useful in multiple-hard-drive scenarios.
[14:10] <llutz> Leoneof`: and btw, if you have to ask this, you most likely don't need any extra-partition at all
[14:11] <David12841> why isnt it possible to introduce an extra volume control button on the panel in ubuntu 9.10?
[14:11] <Pici> Leoneof`: Just because the partitioner offers them as choices doesn't mean you need to use them :)
[14:11] <David12841> i installed gnome-alsa-mixer
[14:11] <SeaOrifice> arvind_khadri: output from lspci ->
[14:11] <SeaOrifice> 02:04.0 Ethernet controller: Hangzhou Silan Microelectronics Co., Ltd. SC92031 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter (rev 01)
[14:11] <Leoneof`> o i c, thanks for the info
[14:11] <arvind_khadri> SeaOrifice, ubuntu 9.10 ?
[14:12] <Leoneof`> so i will install Ubuntu with all /var /tmp /usr ..etc in one partition
[14:12] <SeaOrifice> the Distro i am using is having a kernel version <IP_ADDRESS>
[14:12] <SeaOrifice> oops not that
[14:12] <llutz> Leoneof`: you may put /home extra
[14:12] <SeaOrifice> <IP_ADDRESS>
[14:12] <hadean> yupp
[14:13] <Leoneof`> that /home extra is like second partition in Windows?
[14:13] <rethus> how did i use history in ubuntu on shell?
[14:13] <Darael> Leoneof`: Yup - just set one partition to be / and the installer will take care of the rest - you can probably just use one of the guided partitioning options if you don't want a separate /home.
[14:13] <hadean> again: where can i check why my apache wont start up with the system?
[14:13] <Darael> Leoneof`: /home is where all your user data goes.
[14:13] <rethus> on suse i have only to press arrow-key "up"
[14:13] <rethus> didn't work on ubuntu?!
[14:13] <llutz> Leoneof`: /home is the users-place, where personal things are stored
[14:13] <patri85> hello
[14:14] <arvind_khadri> SeaOrifice, run lsb_release -a in a terminal
[14:14] <llutz> Leoneof`: extra /home makes backup/restore/reinstallation easier for some people
[14:14] <SeaOrifice> arvind_khadri: i m currently not in that OS
[14:14] <SeaOrifice> i am using Windows
[14:15] <SeaOrifice> ryt now
[14:15] <arvind_khadri> hadean, system -> preferences -> session
[14:15] <SeaOrifice> if i could connect to internet
[14:15] <SeaOrifice> why would i be asking
[14:15] <arvind_khadri> SeaOrifice, you dont know which ubuntu version you installed??
[14:15] <Darael> Anyone know what might cause segfaults upon launch of Firefox, besides a corrupted profile?
[14:15] <Pici> hadean: Will apache start if you run it manually?
[14:16] <hadean> arvind_khadri: the weired thing is: it is there
[14:16] <hadean> Pici: yupp
[14:16] <scunizi> Darael: could be a plugin, theme as well..
[14:16] <SeaOrifice> arvind_khadri: its BT4
[14:16] <rethus> how did i use history in ubuntu on shell?on suse i have only to press arrow-key "up"didn't work on ubuntu?!
[14:16] <Leoneof`> thanks folks, i will leave Windows soon
[14:16] <SeaOrifice> its a ubuntu based distro
[14:16] <Pici> hadean: How did you install apache2?
[14:16] <erUSUL> rethus: is the same in ubuntu
[14:16] <hadean> apt-get
[14:16] <Dishcandanty> jw
[14:17] <scunizi> rethus: it works .. unless you've got to open terminals.. type history
[14:17] <arvind_khadri> !ubuntu | SeaOrifice
[14:17] <arand> rethus: shift+pgup?
[14:17] <Darael> scunizi: I've removed (well, renamed) ~/.mozilla/firefox and would hope the plugins from the repos are stable.
[14:17] <theadmin> How can one list all mountable devices?
[14:17] <Pici> SeaOrifice: We do not support Backtrack here, please use their support channel instead: #remote-exploit
[14:17] <arvind_khadri> SeaOrifice, only ubuntu is supported here
[14:17] <rethus> arand: can i change the shortcut?
[14:17] <arand> theadmin: "sudo fdisk -l" I guess
[14:18] <SeaOrifice> Lol i knew something like this will happen
[14:18] <scunizi> Darael: should be.. and if you've renamed the config then if it was a plugin that should have fixed it.  Weird.. I don't now.
[14:18] <SeaOrifice> bt i have a general question
[14:18] <SeaOrifice> please answer someone
[14:18] <ouyes> hi guys i really need your help
[14:18] <komputes> does anyone here have a ThinkPad X301 and is available for a quick test?
[14:18] <Pici> SeaOrifice: We do not even use that kernel version in Ubuntu.
[14:18] <rethus> arand:;  but no, thats not what i asked
[14:18] <bloodski> i've got a problem with hdmi, it overscans the resolution, which makes the edges not visible, any ideas?
[14:18] <rethus> i mean not srolling up.
[14:18] <theadmin> arand: Hm. Where did sda2 get to? %) It has sda1 and sda3
[14:18] <rethus> i mean history... writing last commands that submitted on shell
[14:18] <rethus> u writ cd ..
[14:19] <rethus> then u type arrow up and the bash write themself cd .. (your last command)
[14:19] <arand> theadmin: I'm innocent :|
[14:19] <Pici> rethus: What shell are you suing?
[14:19] <Pici> rethus: *using?
[14:19] <theadmin> Arand: eh sorry
[14:19] <SeaOrifice> Pici: can you point me how to compile some drivers , separately from the linux kernel source atleast
[14:19] <j0char> hi any tips on hdtv playback and ati?
[14:19] <Pici> !compile > SeaOrifice
[14:19] <arand> theadmin: meaning: I have no clue ;)
[14:19] <theadmin> arand: Ah :D
[14:20] <hadean> can it be be that some other startup program cancels the starting up?
[14:20] <ouyes> i am using the bluetooth to transmit some data from my laptop to my htc hd phone, both support the bluetooth 2.0 but i get a pratical speed 0f 109kb/s? how to speed it up?
[14:20] <rethus> Pici: think its bash
[14:20] <Pici> rethus: what does   echo $SHELL   say?
[14:20] <rethus> /bin/bash
[14:20] <arand> theadmin: should you have a faulty partition table, testdisk might be able to help..
[14:20] <theadmin> Another thing. How to list all variables?
[14:20] <Oli``> Is it possible to change how fast the processor ramps up to full speed? I'm finding that if something is only using 70% of one core, the CPU stays underclocked - I'd rather it started jumping at 50%
[14:21] <rethus> if i type history i got a list of all commands which i have typed
[14:21] <rethus> but key-up don't work
[14:21] <theadmin> arand: Meh, I messed with partitions a bit
[14:21] <Pici> rethus: Is this a new user?   To fix you can issue cp /etc/skel/* ~/    as your user and then open a new login shell
[14:24] <theadmin> neilton: Don't spam
[14:24] <oCean_> rethus: when pressing the up arrow, does anything else happen? Like, does the cursor or mousepointer move?
[14:24] <A[D]minS> how i can give a user root access for a temporary time but also i want to make sure that all his actions while he is root.. will be saved to his history ?
[14:24] <hadean> anyways
[14:24] <arand> theadmin: if you know sda3 should be there and it doesn't show up in fdisk, chances are the partition table might have gone a bit whacky, the partition table is a set of bytes at the start of the HD detailing where partions boundries start and end
[14:25] <theadmin> arand: sda3 shows up, sda2 doesn't. Altough it shouldn't exactly, well, I think I'm starting to make sense of it
[14:25] <oCean_> !afk > theadmin_away
[14:25] <arand> theadmin: if you deleted sda2, it shouldn't no
[14:26] <theadmin_away> oCean_: Not that I'm going away that often, sheesh
[14:26] <scunizi> theadmin_away: if you havent yet.. use gparted to compare against fdisk's results..
[14:26] <Darael> A[D]minS: add him to a new group which you give sudo permissions for, but prevent using sudo to use sudo or su, or with the -i option.
[14:26] <theadmin_away> scunizi: Yeah same thing. I'm leaving now anyway. I made sense out of it.
[14:27] <scunizi> k
[14:27] <rethus> Pici: you have an idea what to do?
[14:27] <oCean_> theadmin_away: it's not how many times *you* leave, it's about how many times 1275 users leave/return
[14:27] <t0rc> Is Lucid going to have custom login screens? or are we still going to be stuck like in 9.10?
[14:27] <patri85> file:///msg%20NoNSoLoWii|CiNe|001%20XDCC%20SEND%20%2335
[14:27] <oCean_> t0rc: ask in #ubuntu+1
[14:27] <Pici> rethus: cp /etc/skel/* ~/
[14:28] <A[D]minS> Darael what if i gave him sudo like this - > %user ALL=/bin/su - ?
[14:28] <sile> hi
[14:28] <Darael> A[D]minS: I'm not incredibly familiar with the sudoers config syntax, sorry.
[14:28] <A[D]minS> Darael: actually i couldn't get "but prevent using sudo to use sudo or su, or with the -i option."
[14:29] <Pici> patri85: ?

[14:31] <newan> Hello, i have same problems between opensync: Error writing entry pas-id-4B55AC0A00000000 to member 2 (syncml-obex-client): Unable to commit change. Error 415
[14:32] <joost_op> blind bot
[14:32] <patri85> Pici: I'm trying to download a file
[14:33] <arvind_khadri> joost_op, maybe we should merge dpkg from #debian :D
[14:33] <Darael> Anyone know what might cause firefox to segfault on launch? Have already eliminated problems in the profile.
[14:33] <sipior> A[D]minS: that turns out to be fairly tricky to do if you try implementing a "everything but these apps" rule in /etc/sudoers (you'll never get them all). delegating sudo powers is best done in additive fashion (figure out what the person needs to do and add only those capabilities)
[14:33] <Pici> patri85: We do not serve files in #ubuntu
[14:33] <joost_op> arvind_khadri: I am in disguise
[14:34] <joost_op> arvind_khadri: what is merge?
[14:34]  * joost_op grins
[14:34] <arvind_khadri> joost_op, disguise of ? :P
[14:34] <patri85> PICI: i know....sorry
[14:34] <not_joost_op> ooops
[14:35] <ikonia> Darael: memory (ram) problem or an overclocked PC can do it
[14:35] <Darael> ikonia: It was fine until yesterday, and the CPU not overclocked.
[14:35] <ikonia> Darael: ram can go bad
[14:36] <ikonia> Darael: launch firefox from the command line see if you get any hints
[14:36] <ikonia> Darael: is this firefox supplied/packaged by ubuntu from the repos
[14:36] <Darael> ikonia: It's the repo supplied one, and I have been running it from the terminal - that's how I know it's segfaulting.
[14:36] <ikonia> Darael: no clues in there ?
[14:36] <sipior> Darael: try running it under strace, see if you can isolate a cause. be prepared for a deluge of output :-)
[14:36] <ikonia> Darael: has anything changed/been updated on your box ?
[14:36] <rethus> pici: works well. thanx
[14:37] <Darael> "(firefox:14793): GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times" is all I get, sometimes once, sometimes twice.
[14:37] <Pici> rethus: great
[14:37] <Darael> ikonia: No updates since the day before yesterday.
[14:38] <Roasted> hey guys
[14:38] <Roasted> I'm trying to get awn dock rolling. I have awn manager installed. Is there something I need to adjust in the awn manager menu to get the dock to come up?
[14:39] <KenBW2> is it normal for the Xorg process to use 200MB of RAM after running for 15 days?
[14:39] <David1284> the volume in ubuntu 9.10 is in the notification area, is it possible to move it to the panel, or create a volume knob in the panel?
[14:39] <erUSUL> KenBW2: depends on what is running
[14:40] <sipior> KenBW2: that doesn't sound crazy, no.
[14:40] <ikonia> KenBW2: is it using the ram or just have a foot print of having used that ram (eg: how do you know it's using that ram)
[14:40] <KenBW2> ikonia: i looked in system monitor
[14:40] <scunizi> KenBW2: with compiz running maybe.. not really sure
[14:40] <ikonia> KenBW2: I don't know how system monitor reads it, check with top and ps aux
[14:41] <oCean_> Darael: try (re)moving your ~/.mozilla directory .. An immediate remove might be drastic (since your bookmarks etc are there also)
[14:41] <KenBW2> ikonia: top says 195MB
[14:42] <ikonia> KenBW2: in the virt colum ?
[14:42] <Darael> oCean_: renaming ~/.mozilla/firefox was the first thing I tried.
[14:42] <KenBW2> ikonia: 415m in VIRT
[14:43] <oCean_> Darael: well, not only firefox dir. There might be corruption in ~/.mozilla/default/cache or something..
[14:43] <ikonia> KenBW2: ok so it is using 200mb then
[14:43] <usuario_> ola
[14:43] <KenBW2> ikonia: is there a way of reducing that? short of restarting X?
[14:43] <usuario_> Que?
[14:44] <thiebaude> !es
[14:44] <Darael> sipior: A deluge was an understatement.
[14:44] <sipior> Darael: grep is your friend :-)

[14:45] <psyk> I have an ASUS G60VX laptop (I'm guessing that's why this is happening) and my pipe key is giving me ">" and my backslash is giving me "<" (note: the real keys for < > work fine) does anybody have any idea how I can fix this?
[14:45] <conflix> wow, lots of spammers over night!
[14:45] <arvind_khadri> psyk, you have the wrong layout :)
[14:46] <Foul> Hiya guys.  Anyone know a fix for what seemed to be a rather wll known bug where sound can only be played by one application at a time?
[14:46] <Darael> sipior: Any suggestions on what to gre for?
[14:46] <psyk> arvind_khadri, how can I change it?
[14:46] <arvind_khadri> psyk, system->preferences->keyboard , check the layout there
[14:46] <ikonia> KenBW2: not really, you'd have to stop doing whatever is causing it to gworow or use that much ram
[14:46] <psyk> arvind_khadri, alright, thank you!
[14:46] <scunizi> Foul: don't use skype?
[14:46] <xss> why
[14:46] <Darael> oCean_: Nope, didn't work. Thanks anyway.
[14:47] <Foul> scunizi: It's not just skype.  Other applications won't allow youtube to play audio while they are open.
[14:47] <xss> sex
[14:47] <sipior> Darael: "segmentation fault" would be a good start. actually, just open up the output file in a decent editor, start at the end and work backwards.
[14:47] <psyk> arvind_khadri, still < > ):
[14:48] <psyk> arvind_khadri, it says that it's using backslash and pipe but it isn't.
[14:48] <Foul> So no one can help me? :(
[14:48] <arvind_khadri> psyk, no idea
[14:48] <scunizi> Foul: once skype is loaded it messes with the audio for lots of stuff even after quitting it. Youtube is flash so which flash driver are you using.. the one from restricted-extras or the repo's "non-free" version?
[14:48] <neezer> is there a way to make dvd::rip use more of my cpu? it is stepped down to 800 MHz, and it isn't even using all f the power at 800.
[14:49] <KenBW2> ikonia: it's probabl;y down to my uptime, but i cba restarting
[14:49] <Foul> scunizi: Not sure on the flash driver.  I know I have restricted extras installed though.
[14:49] <razertek> hi everyone
[14:50] <razertek> anyone know why my network systray icon when clicked on says device not managed in greyout letters and the icon itself does not show the two plugs being connected but one plug standing up with dots next to it?
[14:51] <scunizi> Foul: check synaptic to see if the non-free version is installed.. if it is uninstall it.. it's not good to have both. Could cause conflicts.  as for the audio, after closing skype you might try killall alsa, sudo service pulseaudio restart etc..
[14:51] <xss> hii
[14:52] <Roasted> why is it when I remove something from the startup applications list, it still auto starts?
[14:52] <Darael> sipior: Two lines include "Segmentation fault", both at the end. Output of greeping for "SEGV" at http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/359049/ - makes little to no sense to me.
[14:52] <erUSUL> razertek: maybe that specific device is managed by /etc/network/interfaces
[14:53] <Foul> scunizi: I'm affraid most of that went over my head.   What's the name of the non-free version of the adobe flash driver?  If it's not free then I'm assuming i would have had to pay for it to get it right? If that's the case then I don't have it.  - How would I killall alsa?  do I just type that and sudo service pulseaudio restart into a terminal?
[14:53] <razertek> erUSUL: kool then..cuz i just got through adding it there...so that is why?
[14:53] <razertek> erUSUL: can i have both though
[14:53] <erUSUL> razertek: yes NM ignores the interfaces that are managed via interfaces.
[14:54] <erUSUL> razertek: no you not have your cake and eat it too; sorry ;P
[14:54] <sipior> Darael: you'll want to include a few lines of context for each match (the -C switch to grep). or maybe just pastebin the last few hundred lines or so.
[14:54] <Darael> Foul: It's non-free not because you have to pay but because of the restrictions on it. The package is "flashplugin-installer" or "flashplugin-nonfree" - I forget which.
[14:54] <Foul> Darael: Thanks mate I'll look those up.
[14:54] <sipior> Darael: try grep -C 20, to start
[14:54] <Darael> sipior: Will do.
[14:54] <razertek> erUSUL: before i network restart would tell me unknown interfaces eth0=eth0 forsome reason...so was it a good idea to add it to interfaces?
[14:55] <razertek> a*
[14:55] <NoobUser> Rather than name a file "Pass/Fail", what should I name it?
[14:56] <Darael> sipior: http://pastebin.com/f156e4088
[14:57] <psyk> I have an ASUS G60VX and my pipe/backslash keys just put "< >" - the keyboard model and layout is correct, is there any way I can manually change the keys?
[14:57] <erUSUL> razertek: dunno what the problem you are trying to solve is.
[14:57] <psyk> It's interfering with my programming, I'll get fired if I don't get this fixed.
[14:58] <djMax> I'm using JeOS and trying to use a wifi card, any pointers to how to install the mac80211 module(s)?
[14:58] <blackest_knight> hi i was wondering if anyone could do me a favor and download a file and dcc me a copy
[14:58] <NoobUser> psyk: I think the easy solution to your problem is just to quit your job.
[14:58] <razertek> erUSUL: just why it would tell me unknown interface when i did a network restart before i added it to the interface file
[14:58] <sipior> Darael: could you try pastebinning the last five hundred lines or so?
[14:58] <Darael> sipior: Certainly, one moment.
[14:58] <psyk> NoobUser, not funny
[14:59] <jrib> psyk: use xmodmap as a temporary fix, but I'd say your keyboard model is *not* correct
[14:59] <petate> Hi: I need the "Remote Desktop" of Ubuntu 9.10 always running, because i have a computer without monitor. When i reboot, the remote desktop didn't start. Any ideas?
[14:59] <jrib> model/layout
[14:59] <oCean_> Darael: just wondering, have you rebooted since this issue began?
[14:59] <psyk> jrib, the layout is correct, it doesn't show < > under the pipe key, and as for model, there's only 'asus laptop' under asus, so I don't know what else it could be
[14:59] <scunizi> psyk: try an external usb keyboard
[15:00] <Darael> oCean_: Yup! Sensible to ask, though.
[15:00] <erUSUL> razertek: if you use network manager you do not need to do network restarts ...
[15:00] <jrib> psyk: it's not correct because you are pressing a key and it is not doing what you expect it to
[15:00] <psyk> jrib, thanks though. I'll try xmodmap
[15:00] <razertek> erUSUL: o so it would tell me that for that reason?
[15:01] <Miracle> what do i need to play m4a files?
[15:01] <Darael> sipior: http://pastebin.com/f60d93d17
[15:01] <razertek> psyk: have you tried going to sys preferences and then keyboard and then change the layout?
[15:01] <erUSUL> razertek: i really dunno wihtout seeing the entire msg you got. apprt from that message you where seeing any other problem. it was just a cosmetic issue
[15:01] <jbendotnet> hi - am trying to update 9.10 server and get Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/g++-4.4_4.4.1-4ubuntu9_i386.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) any ideas?
[15:02] <psyk> razertek, yes. I tried all of the US layouts.
[15:02] <petate> Anyone knows how to start "Remote Desktop" from command line? I have an Ubuntu 9.10 working in a computer without monitor.
[15:02] <razertek> how about dvorak/programmer?
[15:02] <jrib> jbendotnet: is that the full error?
[15:02] <MrPockets> rdesktop
[15:02] <jbendotnet> jrib: yes
[15:02] <razertek> which is a us layout
[15:02] <epinky> psyk: xmodmap could help
[15:02] <MrPockets> or rather, rdesktop x.x.x.x
[15:02] <jbendotnet> jrib: no!
[15:02] <jbendotnet> ang on
[15:03] <Roasted> Has anybody unchecked anything from startup applications and had it stick? When I remove something from startup apps, it gets removed, but if I reopen it after, its back. The only way to REMOVE anything from startup applications is to remove the entire entry. Is this normal??
[15:03] <Darael> MrPockets: I think petate wants to know how to start the server rather than the client.
[15:03] <MrPockets> ah
[15:03] <psyk> epinky, after looking at the syntax, I don't really know how to use xmodmap. and Google offered no help.
[15:03] <MrPockets> no monitor,  ..that'd make sense .
[15:03] <jrib> psyk: read the official documentation?
[15:03] <Darael> Roasted: Not in my experience, it Just Works (tm) for me.
[15:03] <jbendotnet> jrib: http://pastie.org/784839
[15:04] <petate> Darael: That's right
[15:04] <jrib> Roasted: check ~/.config/autostart permissions
[15:04] <LuciusMare_> hello,i borken my x server
[15:04] <jrib> jbendotnet: "corrupted filesystem tarfile - corrupted package archive
[15:04] <scunizi> Roasted: most likely it was a program that was open when you shutdown.. there's a mode in there that will remember what is open and re-open it on reboot.. so.. make sure that option is turned on close all apps.. reboot.. turn option off..

[15:05] <jrib> Roasted: and ownership?
[15:05] <hwilde> hey guys I made a USB install disc, but I don't remember which .iso it is, how can I tell what version is on the usb key?
[15:05] <Roasted> jrib - me:me
[15:05] <jrib> Roasted: not permissions then.  Check that the file actually changes when you use the gui
[15:06] <Roasted> jrib - I think what scunizi said was right. Some things I uncheck uncheck fine. Others re-check themselves, such as gnome-do docky which in the preferences of that app is set to auto start.
[15:06] <Darael> hwilde: When you plug it in, it should show up with a label that describes the release and architecture.
[15:06] <LuciusMare_> Anyone?
[15:06] <jrib> Roasted: ok
[15:06] <Roasted> thanks dudes

[15:06] <AmirMohammad> Hi, once I connected to a samba shared folder on a windows box and nautilus asked me username/password and whether remember it forever, I selected remember it forever, and now I want to change it but can't find how to tell it to forget it
[15:07] <LuciusMare_> oof.
[15:07] <LuciusMare_> i just need it urgently, thus i am kinda nervous.
[15:08] <jrib> LuciusMare_: I (and I bet others) have no clue what the problem is because you broke it up on several lines.
[15:08] <LuciusMare_> i didnt
[15:08] <perdigon> buenas me las piro
[15:08] <razertek> AmirMohammad: did you google just that yet?
[15:08] <hwilde> Darael, nope it just says 8GB Corsair removable media
[15:08] <LuciusMare_> startx tells me i am not authorized and xauth list does not output anything
[15:08] <LuciusMare_> is enough,dont you think?
[15:09] <AmirMohammad> razertek: yeah, couldn't find the answer
[15:09] <hwilde> LuciusMare_, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[15:09] <feep> hello,everyone
[15:09] <jrib> LuciusMare_: what version of ubuntu is this?
[15:09] <LuciusMare_> kubuntu 9.10
[15:09] <LuciusMare_> hwilde: i am not even running X.
[15:09] <hwilde> LuciusMare_, sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart
[15:09] <jrib> LuciusMare_: why are you using startx instead of starting kdm as it does by default?
[15:09] <LuciusMare_> i am not even running x
[15:10] <hwilde> LuciusMare_, just run the command man
[15:10] <Darael> hwilde: interesting... usually there's a second volume which will show up as the arch and release... Try booting it, then "uname -a" will include the arch, and "lsb_release -a" will include the version.
[15:10] <arand> hwilde: he's using kde.
[15:11] <hwilde>  this will work for kde and gnome:    sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart
[15:11] <hwilde> note the question mark.
[15:11] <LuciusMare_> hwilde: dude.
[15:11] <LuciusMare_> i
[15:11] <LuciusMare_> am
[15:11] <LuciusMare_> not
[15:11] <FloodBot1> LuciusMare_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:11] <LuciusMare_> running
[15:11] <LuciusMare_> x
[15:11] <hwilde> !enter > LuciusMare_
[15:11] <Darael> LuciusMare_: So start ?dm rather than restarting it!
[15:11] <LuciusMare_> this is nonsense.
[15:11] <LuciusMare_> I can't start it.
[15:11] <LuciusMare_> I have borken x.
[15:11] <razertek> AmirMohammad: in nautilus right click on the share and check permissions
[15:11] <Tarantulafudge> is there anything like Zune's SmartDJ for Ubuntu?
[15:12] <hwilde> LuciusMare_, undo what you did to break it.
[15:12] <LuciusMare_> i am trying.
[15:12] <Darael> LuciusMare_: In that case, have you tried booting in recovery mode and using the xfix option?
[15:12] <LuciusMare_> Darael: not yet, my only problem now is with x authorization
[15:13] <jrib> LuciusMare_: you can't be helped if you do not answer questions
[15:13] <LuciusMare_> jrib: and you don't listen to what i do tell you
[15:13] <hwilde> LuciusMare_, move your xorg.conf to a backup filename, restart kdm, and you will get a failsafe x session.
[15:13] <jrib> LuciusMare_: good luck with your issue.
[15:13] <LuciusMare_> i told hwilde thrice times i am not running x
[15:13] <hwilde> Darael, I'm trying to avoid booting a dozen usb keys to find the right one.... the version must be in there somewhere
[15:13] <jrib> LuciusMare_: and he gave you a command to start x.  So try it and tell him what the output is.  I also asked you a different question
[15:14] <Darael> LuciusMare_: All you've actually told us is that you're having a problem with x authorisation, and can't start X - more info would be helpful.
[15:14] <LuciusMare_> xauth list does not output anything
[15:14] <LuciusMare_> i also said
[15:14] <LuciusMare_> startx tells me i am not authorized
[15:14] <LuciusMare_> oh,and my ~/.Xauthority is blank

[15:14] <jrib> LuciusMare_: repeating what you've already said is not helpful.  Answering the new questions we've asked is
[15:15] <hwilde> LuciusMare_,  try what I told you, or you are dead to me.
[15:15] <charnel> I want to use my ~/www file as the /var/www file is this possible ? I dont want to chmod all the time
[15:15] <LuciusMare_> Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
[15:15] <LuciusMare_> Upstart job, you may also use the restart(8) utility, e.g. restart kdm
[15:15] <LuciusMare_> restart: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.40" (uid=1000 pid=4578 comm="restart) interface="com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6.Job" member="Restart" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="com.ubuntu.Upstart" (uid=0 pid=1 comm="/sbin/init"))
[15:15] <FloodBot1> LuciusMare_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:15] <Tarantulafudge> I just wanted to say that yesterday I did an wubi install while using primarily TV-out and I had absolutely zero problems
[15:15] <LuciusMare_> and exits
[15:16] <Tarantulafudge> I can tell that flash actually works faster than on windows 7
[15:16] <hwilde> charnel, you could symlink /var/www to ~/www if you want
[15:16] <charnel> thanks
[15:16] <Darael> charnel: You could symlink /var/www to ~/www or you could change the group permissions on /var/www
[15:16] <sipior> Darael: might you have another account you could try running firefox from?
[15:16] <jrib> charnel: a differen approach would be to enable userdirs in apache.  Then every user would have their own little space at domain/~username
[15:17] <Darael> sipior: absolutely. Back in a tick.
[15:17] <LuciusMare_> hwilde: did that help you?
[15:17] <tiger1> Is there a program make a debian package ??
[15:17] <jrib> !packaging | tiger1
[15:17] <hwilde> LuciusMare_, what did you do to your system exactly since it was working
[15:17] <charnel> Darael:  jrib: hwilde: Thank you very much I think symlink was what i was looking for
[15:17] <hwilde> charnel,   ln -s
[15:17] <razertek> AmirMohammad: did it work?
[15:17] <jrib> tiger1: you might want to read about checkinstall as well, but if you plan to distribute the package and want to make a proper one, see ubottu's links
[15:18] <Spage> Java problem. After upgrading to 9.10 java does not exit properly. The process remains after exit as sleeping in the process list. It sucks all the CPU power from the machine
[15:18] <jrib> charnel: symlink won't really do much, you'll still have to change permissions
[15:18] <tiger1> checkinstall make my application on application menu ?
[15:19] <LuciusMare_> hwilde: the whole story is about an hungry game, i needed to upgrade my drivers, so i downloaded the not-in-repos-yet ones, and now, update came and i booted with borken x. Through a line of purging,installing and reinstalling, i got to this state - i need to be root to run x, aside from that,it is in perfect condition
[15:19] <razertek> Spage: set its priority
[15:19] <charnel> but changing group permissions in my home folder will do the job forever right ?
[15:19] <hwilde> LuciusMare_, make a new user with a clean profile and see if they can run x
[15:19] <jrib> charnel: same as changing permissions on /var/www
[15:19] <llutz> LuciusMare_: ls -l $(which X)
[15:20] <charnel> yes I just did not want to change permissions for var/www
[15:20] <Darael> charnel: ...or you could make a suitable usergroup, set it to the owning group of /var/www, give it appropriate perms, and make yourself a member.
[15:20] <jrib> charnel: that's what you are doing.  symlink doesn't have separate permissions
[15:20] <LuciusMare_> hwilde: nope
[15:20] <LuciusMare_> llutz: -rwsr-sr-x 1 root root 9672 2009-11-10 11:54 /usr/bin/X
[15:20] <biagidp> I've got an external USB drive that's showing up in lsusb, but not when i check in fdisk -l.  I'd like to mount it, but don't know how.  Anyone can help?
[15:21] <LuciusMare_> biagidp: have you checked "dmesg|tail" ?
[15:21] <metalfoo> Hi there, I've got a question (not directly related to ubuntu). I established a bridge (brctl) betweeen a (virtual/xen) interface and a real ethX interface. I was wondering why I'm now forced to set-up an IP address for the _bridge_ interface in order to reach the attached virtual interface through it with a complete different ip. has someone an idea?
[15:21] <uberspaced> what's the easiest way to find the directory where the netboot iso is?
[15:21] <uberspaced> I google: ubunto netboot iso
[15:21] <uberspaced> and it's not easy to find.
[15:21] <erUSUL> biagidp: unplug the disk. then in a terminal do « tailf /var/log/messages » . after that plug the disk. paste the output you get in the terminal
[15:21] <erUSUL> !paste | biagidp
[15:22] <guest_007> sd
[15:22] <kinja-sheep> uberspaced: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/netboot/9.10/ (0.01ms)
[15:22] <biagidp> LuciusMare_: I did, I didn't see anything that looked like an error, I'll but it up on past bin
[15:22] <uberspaced> kinja-sheep: thanks.
[15:22] <biagidp> erUSUL: I'll get that log file too
[15:22] <guest_007> Hello, how does Koala boot? I checked scripts and can't find mountall, cryptdisks. Where can i read about changes"?
[15:23] <kinja-sheep> guest_007: Magic
[15:23] <nathan7> dependency-based bootstuffs iirc.
[15:24] <biagidp> erUSUL: of course it works the time I do that, thanks :-P
[15:25] <razertek> Spage: use: ps u U username   ........to get process id
[15:25] <guest_007> What changed in koala boot sequence? How to add custom script before mount?
[15:26] <AmirMohammad> razertek: yeah, found it, but not with what you told. I told I'm accessing a remote windows box, the user is not local and sure I can't modify it using smbpasswd
[15:26] <kinja-sheep> guest_007: Are you using cryptsetup for full-system encryption?
[15:26] <AmirMohammad> razertek: it's in Applications->Accessories->Password and Encryption keys
[15:26]  * SeRgIoV says hello to the channel
[15:26] <razertek> Spage: then: use: nice
[15:27] <razertek> AmirMohammad: hmm
[15:27] <guest_007> kinja-sheep: as always, /boot + encrypted LVM
[15:27] <om26er> !hi | SeRgIoV
[15:27] <razertek> AmirMohammad: did u have to delete a key from there ?
[15:28] <LuciusMare_> I broken my X authorization, i am not authorized to run X - .Xauthority is blank. How do i fill it?
[15:28] <kinja-sheep> guest_007: It is likely to be in initfs (spell?) -- It is a temporary filesystem used at bootup to load modules and scripts.
[15:28] <jrib> LuciusMare_: why are you using startx instead of starting kdm as it does by default?
[15:28] <hwilde> lol jrib
[15:28] <LuciusMare_> i didnt say i do use it
[15:28] <AmirMohammad> razertek: yeb
[15:28] <jrib> LuciusMare_: what?
[15:28] <hwilde> LuciusMare_, how long have you had this problem
[15:29] <tarzeau_> how can i file a bug about kmenuedit? to which email address?
[15:29] <razertek> Spage: sry i meant: renice
[15:29] <jrib> !bug | tarzeau_
[15:29] <tarzeau_> or on what url with webform can i tell what's wrong?
[15:29] <LuciusMare_> hwilde: this day it started,after the damned update :P
[15:29] <tarzeau_> jrib: yes i read that, and the apport* tools don't work
[15:29] <jrib> tarzeau_: what does "don't work" mean?
[15:29] <hwilde> LuciusMare_, how many hours have you spent trying to fix it
[15:29] <kinja-sheep> guest_007: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-17-generic (that is where it is in). You'll want to create a copy. Add it to menu, extract the file and edit.
[15:29] <LuciusMare_> hwilde: about three,four or so
[15:29] <guest_007> kinja-sheep: what changed since Heron? /etc/rcS.d/ has few files now. Looks like other files are in GRUB2?
[15:29] <hwilde> LuciusMare_, you realize you can reinstall from the cd in about 20 minutes
[15:30] <tarzeau_> jrib: i start ubuntu-bug kdebase-workspace-bin
[15:30] <FortyTwo> Evolution doesnt sort SPAM Flagged Mail into SPAM directory, what to do?
[15:30] <tarzeau_> jrib: then i say "other" and can't tell anything about it
[15:30] <tarzeau_> jrib: it does something, i have no idea what
[15:30] <hwilde> !enter > tarzeau_
[15:30] <RediXe> I have a ext3 partition being mounted to /media/storage, how do I make this rw for my user and not just root?
[15:30] <LuciusMare_> hwilde: i do, but i - 1) cant reboot, 2) am sure i will need this in future 3) think its more elegant :)
[15:30] <jrib> tarzeau_: keep reading (I would just file at launchpad.net directly)
[15:31] <kinja-sheep> guest_007: There are commands, I can't find them. I'm trying to find a site on that. I think /etc/rcS.d/ starts later.
[15:31] <amunoz> hola
[15:31] <llutz> RediXe: use chown/chmod
[15:31] <onetinsoldier> hi all. my sound suddenly just stopped working. anyone think they might be able to help me get it going again?
[15:31] <tarzeau_> can you reproduce this? open kmenuedit then add a new submenu, give it an icon from a path of your own, for example /opt/icons/
[15:31] <jrib> LuciusMare_: what did you do that broke it?
[15:31] <LuciusMare_> jrib: i didnt say i use startx. Aside from that, - "blah,use start kdm,it is an upstart job" > "start kdm" > "job kdm already running"
[15:31] <tarzeau_> jrib: how?
[15:31] <hwilde> RediXe, sudo chown you:you /media/storage
[15:31] <erUSUL> !addingfs | RediXe
[15:31] <petate> I can't start an X session through PuTTY and Ubuntu 9.10? Any help? Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: localhost:10.0
[15:31] <amunoz> ghtut7it7i
[15:31] <tarzeau_> jrib: i do have a launchpad account, i'm logged in, i just can't find any way to report a bug
[15:31] <jrib> tarzeau_: read ubottu's link
[15:31] <hwilde> petate, you have to click the box to allow X11 forwarding
[15:31] <LuciusMare_> jrib: installed non-repo drivers,update came, i am xless. Purge this blob, install repo version, blank .Xauthority
[15:31] <amunoz> otdj8yyfutytugi9etu
[15:31] <hwilde> !bug > tarzeau_
[15:32] <petate> hwilde: i already did that
[15:32] <rrodriguez> yy
[15:32] <RediXe> erUSUL, I read those, so the only way to do it is to use chown/chmod?
[15:32] <Darael> LuciusMare_: If KDM is already running, I'm assuming you've tried switching to where X ought to be (usually ctrl+alt+f7, sometimes on ctrl+alt+f8 instead)?
[15:32] <hwilde> petate, are you sure it works with putty?  why aren't you just using ssh -X
[15:32] <rrodriguez> gooritgjkr90
[15:32]  * om26er still don't know how to use chmod
[15:32] <rrodriguez> lñbnkgfpj
[15:32] <LuciusMare_> Darael: you are assuming right
[15:32] <jrib> !permissions > om26er
[15:32] <jrock2004> I am using bind9 in ubuntu server. How do I turn off DNS caching?

[15:33] <FortyTwo> Evolution doesnt sort SPAM Flagged Mail into SPAM directory, what to do?
[15:33] <onetinsoldier> hi all. my sound suddenly just stopped working. anyone think they might be able to help me get it going again?
[15:33] <LuciusMare_> Darael: and, even if it would be running, i still need to solve the problem i cant run it manually
[15:33] <jrib> LuciusMare_: what did you install exactly?
[15:33] <paulus> Hi
[15:33] <rrodriguez> hgh
[15:33] <petate> hwilde: I'm on windows trying to connect to Ubuntu
[15:33] <LuciusMare_> jrib: drivers 190
[15:33] <onetinsoldier> howdy
[15:33] <jrib> LuciusMare_: someone asked you about trying with a different user earlier I think.  What was the result of that?
[15:34] <paulus> Has anyone else had problems with the b44 NIC driver in Karmic Koala?
[15:34] <hwilde> LuciusMare_, sudo pastebinit -i  /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[15:34] <LuciusMare_> I also earlier answered that the new user cant
[15:34] <jrib> LuciusMare_: you have to be specific.
[15:34] <hwilde> petate, you should use freenx or vnc then.  the error message is that there is no xserver on your windows machine to forward the desktop to
[15:34] <LuciusMare_> jrib: okay, same problem as me,not authorized to run x
[15:34] <ActionParsnip> paulus: tried a different cable?
[15:34] <paulus> yes
[15:34] <petate> thanks, i'll try that
[15:35] <hwilde> petate, freenx is wicked fast imho
[15:35] <jrib> LuciusMare_: what's the actualy output not paraphrased?
[15:35] <paulus> anyway if I netboot into kubuntu the nic works fine
[15:35] <hwilde> LuciusMare_, sudo pastebinit -i  /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> paulus: does: sudo lshw -C network     show it with a driver?
[15:35] <LuciusMare_> oh,sorry
[15:35] <FortyTwo> Evolution doesnt sort SPAM Flagged Mail into SPAM directory, what to do?
[15:35] <LuciusMare_> jrib: same as me means: X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting.
[15:35] <LuciusMare_> xinit:  Server error.
[15:35] <paulus> I'll try that
[15:35] <_raven_> how is possible to select, which network-device is used if e.g. firefox uses not the right one?
[15:36] <Darael> sipior: Second reboot after the problem appeared, it's vanished! In any case, thank you so much for your time.
[15:36] <llutz> _raven_: route
[15:36] <LuciusMare_> hwilde: http://pastebin.com/f2104358e
[15:36] <onetinsoldier> arrghh! my sound suddenly just stopped working. anyone think they might be able to help me get it going again?
[15:36] <sipior> Darael: bizarre, but glad it's working, of course :-)
[15:36] <oCean_> Darael: yay :)
[15:36] <Explore1> How can i install oss?
[15:36] <Explore1> apt-cache oss gives a  very long list, which one do i need to install?
[15:37] <katycorp1> does anyone know how to prevent chat text from showing up in the notification area in karmic? (using pidgin for a client)
[15:37] <LuciusMare_> Explore1: i would basically go with "apt-get install oss"
[15:37] <_raven_> llutz, how to select exactly when umts and cable is activated?
[15:37] <llutz> _raven_: sudo route del default && sudo route add default ppp0
[15:38] <_raven_> llutz ok tnx
[15:38] <FortyTwo> Evolution doesnt sort SPAM Flagged Mail into SPAM directory, what to do?
[15:38] <hwilde> LuciusMare_, your xorg log looks fine.  have you tried rebooting?
[15:38] <llutz> _raven_: pppd should replace default-route on umts-connect
[15:38] <Explore1> LuciusMare_E: Couldn't find package oss
[15:38] <LuciusMare_> hwilde: x works fine
[15:38] <LuciusMare_> hwilde: i cant just run it under my user, i am not authorized
[15:39] <Darael> Explore1: the oss-compat package would allow OSS-using applications to work by interfacing with your existing sound framework, so unless you're doing a custom remix from a minimal install it's probably what you want.
[15:39] <jrib> LuciusMare_, hwilde: the log pasted has errors...
[15:39] <FortyTwo> Evolution doesnt sort SPAM Flagged Mail into SPAM directory, what to do?
[15:39] <llutz> !repeat | FortyTwo
[15:39] <genixpro> hello there ubuntunites. I am having some problems, in particular, I cant seem to get opengl to work. The mesa implementation doesnt seem to support shaders which are critical to the game i am creating
[15:40] <FortyTwo> Ok thanks for that advice ubottu, im new to irc princips
[15:40] <Explore1> Darael, i dint get you?
[15:40] <razertek> FortyTwo: did you check all your setting in evo?
[15:40] <genixpro> I'm on my laptop, and i was sure it has a radeon mobile, it should work better then this
[15:40] <hwilde> LuciusMare_, backup your xorg.conf, delete it,  sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart
[15:41] <LuciusMare_> oof.
[15:41] <jrib> LuciusMare_: what does this return: sudo grep allowed /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config   (hope you can do 2 things at once)
[15:41] <Explore1> Darael, oss-compat is already installed on my machine
[15:41] <hwilde> jrib, seeing how you have a scalpel and I have a sledgehammer,  it's all yours
[15:41] <Explore1> Darael, how can i check whcih sound framework i have?
[15:41] <Urda> Hello fellow ubuntu users! Question: How can I get php5 to run without Suhosin? It appears as if the package for apache and CLI both have it on by default. I have a 9.10 x86 server OS that needs it
[15:41] <LuciusMare_> hwilde: i said already, it tells me its an upstart job, so i got to use start kdm,i use it, kdm already running
[15:41] <jrib> hwilde: i have to leave soon anwyay
[15:41] <genixpro> however, when i go into the hardware drivers, it doesnt give me the option to install any graphics cards drivers. only my wireless card
[15:42] <hwilde> LuciusMare_, honestly, my rule of thumb is if it's not fixed after 1 hour, reinstall from cd.
[15:42] <LuciusMare_> jrib: allowed_users=console
[15:42] <onetinsoldier> genixpro: i wouldn't know much about that. sound interesting though! have you checked to see if there's a #mesa channel?
[15:42] <Darael> Explore1: Ah, not a clue then. However, it's likely that some of the stuff you've got from apt-cache searching would be removed if you aptitude searched - it usually returns fewer, more relevant results.
[15:43] <Spage> razertek: what does "renice" mean?
[15:43] <jrib> LuciusMare_: for kicks, read the file, use debconf to change it to anyone and see if it makes a difference (revert it later)
[15:43] <LuciusMare_> debconf?
[15:43] <jrib> LuciusMare_: dpkg-reconfigure blah, the file explains
[15:43] <genixpro> well i dont expect mesa alone to work onetinsoldier, I would like to install vendor drivers, but nothing is showing up in the menu where they usually pop up
[15:43] <razertek> Spage: it adjust the priority for runaway processes and such
[15:44] <eurythmia> I have a friend who requested to add me to his gtalk contacts ... how do I accept this request in empathy? I get the OSD saying that "so and so has requested a subscription ..." but there is no apparent way to accept said request.
[15:44] <Spage> But it something that happend every time I running a java client.
[15:44] <LuciusMare_> jrib: my .Xauthority still blank
[15:45] <jrib> LuciusMare_: you received the same error?
[15:45] <luist> how do i redirect error output to standard output?
[15:45] <LuciusMare_> luist: command 2>&1
[15:45] <jrib> luist: 2>&1
[15:45] <onetinsoldier> genixpro: roger. i have a desktop ati card here...
[15:45] <LuciusMare_> jrib: i didnt even bother, my .Xauthority still blank
[15:45] <luist> so if i want to redirect all output to a file i can use command 2>&1 > myfile?
[15:46] <jrib> LuciusMare_: erm, what did you do that you expect it to become non-blank?
[15:46] <LuciusMare_> jrib: dpkg-reconfigured everything with xserver or xorg in its name ^^
[15:46] <LuciusMare_> not really
[15:47] <LuciusMare_> just xserver-xorg and things that seemed to have something in common with authorizating
[15:47] <jrib> LuciusMare_: dpkg never touches anything in your home
[15:47] <LuciusMare_> jrib: oh
[15:47] <bloodski> i've got a problem with hdmi, it overscans the resolution, which makes the edges not visible, any ideas?
[15:47] <LuciusMare_> jrib: i think that we are just still on a problem - i need to fill my .Xauthority
[15:47] <LuciusMare_> but i dont know how or w/ what
[15:47] <fhaus> any ruby programmers on?
[15:47] <LuciusMare_> fhaus: try #ruby
[15:48] <r00t_> #linuxac
[15:48] <onetinsoldier> genixpro: if ati makes a driver for the 'mobile' type of video cards for linux you could download it and install it manually
[15:49] <jrib> LuciusMare_: I don't know how that gets filled, but I would start by trying startx
[15:49] <onetinsoldier> genixpro: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[15:49] <x-nux> #pelita @freenode.net
[15:49] <onetinsoldier> nooo! my sound suddenly just stopped working. anyone think they might be able to help me get it going again?
[15:49] <arand> How can I set sound volume from terminal?
[15:49] <hwilde> onetinsoldier, type "alsamixer" on cli and unmute everything
[15:49] <rjurney> Can I install a CentOS or SuSE RPM on my ubuntu system?  The vendor only supplies RPMs.
[15:49] <hwilde> arand, alsamixer
[15:50] <onetinsoldier> hwilde: roger. i'll try it...
[15:50] <hwilde> rjurney, some rpms will install fine
[15:50] <arand> hwilde: *facepalms
[15:50] <rjurney> hwilde: Redhat 4, 5 or SuSE?
[15:50] <jrib> LuciusMare_: anyway I have to go, google also claims kdm/gdm create a new xauthority everytime.  You also have errors in your /var/log/Xorg.0.log
