[17:19] <hardisk_> Hi
[17:19] <hardisk_> I have a weird problem with Torrents
[17:19] <IdleOne> m3r1ll: glad you got it fixed.
[17:19] <hardisk_> Just downloaded the Ubuntu 10.04 Iso via torrent with transmission, and the file is not in my computer..
[17:19] <hardisk_> Even if the download is over
[17:20] <hardisk_> it is supposed to be in /home/hardisk/téléchargement
[17:20] <hardisk_> It is not :/
[17:20] <m3r1ll> well i kinda just rigged the first loader, made the time on the first one 0 and hide the menu so i dont even see it
[17:20] <hardisk_> any idea,
[17:20] <hardisk_> ?
[17:20] <hardisk_> Locate and Find can't find it too
[17:20] <hardisk_> What happenned?
[17:21] <senthil> in Transmission; try  right click -on the torrent and click "Open Folder"
[17:21] <hardisk_> senthil, and?
[17:21] <hardisk_> senthil, It opened the folder
[17:21] <Geforce88> does openoffice.org have a chat room ?
[17:21] <NewtoLinux> hello helpers.. i still cannot seem to change the name visible on top right
[17:22] <hardisk_> senthil, the iso is not in it..
[17:22] <senthil> which folder it opens?
[17:22] <hardisk_> senthil, /home/hardisk/téléchargement
[17:22] <knoppix> bitplane_, can you guide where the dpkg files are please?
[17:22] <IdleOne> Geforce88: #openoffice.org
[17:22] <xangua> hardisk_: where do you got that torent¿ ubuntu.com ¿
[17:22] <un214> How do I stop apt-get dist-upgrade from installing new kernels?
[17:22] <hardisk_> xangua, yes
[17:23] <xangua> well i would suggest download it again hardisk_ S:
[17:23] <NewtoLinux> even though my login name is "Master" my first name is still showing as the person logged on
[17:23] <hardisk_> xangua, urgh, ok
[17:23] <IdleOne> !pinning | un214
[17:23] <un214> IdleOne: wrong answer
[17:23] <IdleOne> un214: bad question
[17:23] <un214> I don't need any kernel
[17:23] <Archana_> :)
[17:24] <IdleOne> un214: then I have no idea what you want
[17:24] <NewtoLinux> even though my login name is "Master" my first name is still showing as the person logged on
[17:24] <Archana_> un214, but you can remove them carefully excluding the latest...
[17:24] <Bersam> i set up my connection in ubuntu (with wireless adaptor) but still can't see it in my device(ipod touch)
[17:24] <Bersam> what should i do no ?
[17:25] <NorthByNorthWest> Hi all! Im having some smb performance issues and read in one forum that smbnetfs could be the solution. So I installed it, copied configfiles to .smb/ but then what? Can I just leave the mount in the fstab or should I remove that and mount it with smbnetfs? And how do I do that?
[17:25] <EruditeOgre> NewtoLinux: Did you change your first name in the user accounts page?
[17:25] <un214> Actually Archana_: my ubuntu install is in a chroot jail
[17:26] <Archana_> un214, Good luck..!
[17:26] <NewtoLinux> EruditeOgre: you mean "user settings" under the "users and groups"|?
[17:26] <EruditeOgre> NewtoLinux: Yes
[17:27] <NewtoLinux> yes i did
[17:27] <Geforce88> can i get openoffice help here? no one is in their channel
[17:27] <EruditeOgre> NewtoLinux: So the account name is still your first name?
[17:27] <asrj> hai
[17:27] <NewtoLinux> on the left ther are 2 accounts one is "Master" and one is guest
[17:27] <lux``> hey guys
[17:27] <NewtoLinux> well ..
[17:27] <rlankfo> hola
[17:27] <asrj> i want your help- is any one help me for minitube
[17:27] <lux``> tar c dir > f.tar.gz should tar a whole directory and its files right?
[17:28] <lux``> I saw in the man that --recursion is on by default
[17:28] <lux``> but it's not workng :/
[17:28] <xangua> !anyone > asrj
[17:28] <troubled> lux``: no, just c and no z means dont use .gz filename
[17:28] <NewtoLinux> under the "Master" my first name is showing in gray and my first name is showing as the person logged on
[17:28] <troubled> lux``: tar -zcvf filename.tar.gz /path/to/some/dir
[17:28] <NewtoLinux> i want "Master" to be visible not my first name
[17:28] <rlankfo> lux``: tar -cvzf f.tar.gz dir/
[17:28] <lux``> uh but last time worked
[17:28] <lux``> oh well thx
[17:29] <pakair> NewtoLinux, I read your comments. Here's what I did, I created user bob, gave it a pass. Then clicked top right to switch from current user. I logged on as bob and on the top right is reads bob. I switched users again to my current user. It changed the top right again. I cannot tell what you're doing wrong.
[17:29] <lux``> is it the faster way rlankfo trollboy ? a store 0 is fine
[17:29] <troubled> lux``: well, tar c f.tar.gz /dir, would work, but it wouldnt be gzip even though you gave it that filename
[17:29] <pipegeek> How do I go about changing the time zone in lucid?  The date/time control panel appears to have changed, and that option is no longer presented.
[17:29] <rlankfo> pipegeek: dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
[17:29] <pipegeek> sure
[17:29] <pipegeek> but, I mean
[17:29] <lux``> it would be faster to do right troubled ?
[17:29] <EruditeOgre> NewtoLinux: man usermod
[17:29] <pipegeek> is there no way to do it through the graphical interface?
[17:30] <pipegeek> that seems like a strange omission
[17:30] <rlankfo> oh idk, i only use CLI :P
[17:30] <pipegeek> lulz
[17:30] <rlankfo> i'm sure there is
[17:30] <troubled> lux``: without gzip? certainly. but then you would just do "tar c f.tar /dir" not f.tar.gz, which is lying about the file format
[17:30] <NewtoLinux> pakair: i know that should work but it is not
[17:30] <asrj> i run the minitube the message display "The file or folder www.youtube.com does not exist"
[17:30] <asrj> What i want to do
[17:30] <knoppix> Powercut  spoiled my karmik kola upgrade from Hardy. dpkg now complains about readonly files. Which files should I alter now please?
[17:30] <lux``> tar c 3.tar mangasimg/
[17:30] <lux``> tar: 3.tar: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
[17:30] <lux``> mm
[17:31] <NewtoLinux> pakair: when you created the account "bob" do you also see "bob" below "bob"
[17:31] <lux``> troubled, is it tar c file.tar dir/?
[17:31] <lux``> not working
[17:31] <troubled> lux``: sure, assuming dir/ is in the current dir
[17:31] <troubled> try use an absolute path
[17:31] <nameda> pipegeek: it's under the administration menu, as the date time option; pretty sure it's there and locked so people without admin can't change clock
[17:31] <NewtoLinux> pakair: in users and groups i mean
[17:32] <lux``> samething troubled
[17:32] <rlankfo> troubled: try fc
[17:32] <EruditeOgre> NewtoLinux: man usermod < Tells you all about how to go about changing it.
[17:32] <pipegeek> nameda: Strangely absent.  I'll see if it's hidden.
[17:32] <rlankfo> er lux`` : fc
[17:32] <lux``> i'm sure it worked yesterday :/
[17:32] <knoppix> Please guide to unlock files spoiled during dpkg upgrade.
[17:32] <lux``> okay
[17:32] <troubled> oops ya need -f
[17:32] <troubled> my bad
[17:32] <NewtoLinux> EruditeOgre: i'm trying that thanks
[17:32] <pakair> NewtoLinux, there is only one bob in the Users and Groups. Why do you see two?
[17:32] <pipegeek> nameda: actually just not there
[17:32] <pipegeek> this is a fresh install
[17:32] <nameda> pipegeek:I use cardapio for my menu, so it might just be different
[17:32] <troubled> lux``: also, "f" has to come right before the filename, so "tar cf 3.tar dir/" NOT "tar fc 3.tar dir/"
[17:32] <pipegeek> hehe, ok
[17:33] <nameda> lemme check something
[17:33] <pipegeek> thx
[17:33] <pipegeek> At this point, I'd just like to know that it's possible :)
[17:33] <lux``> # tar cf 3.tar mangasimg/
[17:33] <pakair> NewtoLinux, there is bob (bold) and under it bob (italics, gray)
[17:33] <lux``> the dir is 30gb...
[17:33] <lux``> the file 3.tar is few kb
[17:33] <lux``> wtf :/?
[17:33] <mimmo> we
[17:33] <FloodBot1> lux``: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:33] <NewtoLinux> pakair: yes that's what i mean
[17:34] <nameda> pipegeek: Not in System > Administration > Date and Time?
[17:34] <rlankfo> lux``: if it's 30gb i would tar -xvjf dir.tar.bz2 dir/
[17:34] <NewtoLinux> now change the "bob" to Mike and you will see the "bob" in italics remains
[17:34] <nameda> or time and date
[17:34] <pipegeek> nope.   That menu option is absent, nor is it in the menu editor
[17:34] <lux``> rlankfo, no that would take years, a .tar is fine
[17:34] <troubled> rlankfo: s/x/c/
[17:34] <pipegeek> I remembered that too, but I think it may have disappeared with the upgrade to lucid
[17:34] <pipegeek> or, rather, with the reinstall to lucid
[17:34] <NewtoLinux> and bob will still show up as logged on
[17:34] <lux``> I need to transfer it to another server and untar, it's faster to transfer big as it is without compression
[17:35] <rlankfo> troubled: yeah :)
[17:35] <troubled> :)
[17:35] <lux``> still it's not working, but yesterday worked, same command i have it in the scrollback
[17:35] <pakair> NewtoLinux, one is the display name (bold), the other is the user name (italics).
[17:35] <Geforce88> is there a way to upgrade and bypass a broken openoffice.org install ?
[17:35] <DivineBrevity> Is anyone here familiar with the Pinnacle Dazzle Capture Device and Lucid?
[17:35] <pipegeek> nameda: If you have it, what's the name of the actual executable that provides that control panel, so I can look up what package provides it?
[17:35] <DivineBrevity> GeForce, have you tried reinstallation?
[17:36] <Geforce88> DivineBrevity,  trhats the weird, thing, the upgrade , fails
[17:36] <NewtoLinux> pakair: did you change "bob" to Mike\/
[17:36] <nameda> pipegeek:time-admin; it's a part of gnome's control set
[17:36] <Geforce88> DivineBrevity,  i mean reinstallation : http://pastebin.com/A07R5pBj
[17:36] <pipegeek> :-\
[17:36] <DivineBrevity> Can you mark for complete removal, then try to reinstall?
[17:36] <nameda> just remake the manu item? that's weird for it to just up  and vanish
[17:36] <Geforce88> complete removal fails via package m,anager
[17:36] <NewtoLinux> pakair: if you change "bob" to Mike you will see that "bob" is still logged on
[17:37] <pipegeek> Indeed it is.  And it's installed; there's just no menu entry.  que bizarre
[17:37] <Geforce88> http://pastebin.com/A07R5pBj
[17:37] <pakair> NewtoLinux, yes, I changed the display name to Robert. IT shows Robert (bold), bob (italics). bob is the user name and there exists /home/bob
[17:37] <nameda> might wanna file that as a bug, if you can figure out how you did it
[17:37] <NewtoLinux> pakair: Rigght
[17:37] <DivineBrevity> That is strange. I
[17:37] <NewtoLinux> now you will that bob is still logged on
[17:38] <jabba> hello
[17:38] <NewtoLinux> if you now go and rename your home dir to "Robert" you will not be able to log on
[17:38] <pipegeek> nameda: I'll look into it.  Gotta go board my flight now :)
[17:38] <DivineBrevity> GeForce, did you try to remove it with the "software center?"
[17:38] <pipegeek> thanks d00d
[17:39] <jabba> which software can i use to mux a dts-audio stream to a mkv video?
[17:39] <Geforce88> DivineBrevity,  yes. it's broke big time. look at this if you have time :: http://pastebin.com/RNzZNwVL
[17:39] <EruditeOgre> NewtoLinux: Did you read about usermod?
[17:39] <nameda> pipegeek: no biggie, I'm waiting for a flight now too
[17:39] <pipegeek> haha
[17:39] <troubled> jabba: ffmpeg maybe?
[17:39] <EruditeOgre> You'll probably have to boot to recovery mode to change things
[17:40] <Sixxor> Hello. My friend installed ubuntu 10.4 on my mothers cpu when he visited here. But he set a passwd for the user and he cant remember what it was. What am i to do ?
[17:40] <pakair> NewtoLinux, you need to read on UNIX user names. Changing /home/bob to /home/robert will not work. You need to edit the password file and other things
[17:40] <NewtoLinux> EruditeOgre: i am reading as we chat

[17:41] <Sixxor> Hello. My friend installed ubuntu 10.4 on my mothers cpu when he visited here. But he set a passwd for the user and he cant remember what it was. What am i to do ?
[17:41] <EruditeOgre> Sixxor: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-recover-password-under-ubuntu.html
[17:41] <pakair> NewtoLinux, the pass file has the user and the login dir. Read on the password file and the fields it contains.
[17:43] <NewtoLinux> pakair: yes.. i came across a tut once but seems complicated to make so many changes.. perhaps it would be easier to create a new account ?

[17:51] <monkey_dust> guys - I'm unable to install the flash-plugin for chromium or firefox - is this a known issue and is there a solution?
[17:51] <NewtoLinux> how can i hide who has left and who has joined in the "channel" window
[17:51] <EruditeOgre> monkey_dust: Flash should install just fine for firefox.
[17:51] <nhandler> NewtoLinux: Use your client's /ignore command
[17:51] <EruditeOgre> Installing for chrome is a bit more involved.
[17:51] <monkey_dust> EruditeOgre, it does not, that's why I'm asking
[17:51] <NewtoLinux> i'm using web client
[17:52] <nhandler> NewtoLinux: The freeonde one? If so, I do not believe it supports hiding that info.
[17:52] <NewtoLinux> nhandler: ok
[17:52] <xangua> monkey_dust: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree ¿

[17:58] <Djchat> exit
[17:59] <ActionParsnip> NorthByNorthWest: use ifconfig and look at the rate option
[17:59] <soreau> saidi: What makes you think it isnt installed already?
[17:59] <EruditeOgre> saidi: sudo apt-get install manpages-dev
[18:00] <saidi> soreau, when showing it with xman..
[18:00] <slidinghorn> CaNoc, most of the issues I'm seeing with this error are fixed with updates:  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[18:00] <NorthByNorthWest> ActionParsnip: thanks... i run 'man ifconfig' but cant find anything about rate...?
[18:00] <ActionParsnip> NorthByNorthWest: also make sure both interfaces support 100Mbps or whatever you expect
[18:01] <NewtoLinux> xangua: EruditeOgre which is the best chat client to install.. is one better than the other.. which one has most all the features

[18:02] <terrylm> Hi all, does 10.04 use an initrd file to boot? I don't seem to have one, could be my problem?

[18:03] <slidinghorn> CaNoc, I can't verify the authenticity of this post, as the OP only has 1 post in the forums, but it may be worth looking into...be sure to read *all* commands before performing any: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1422072

[18:08] <ActionParsnip> Guest62284: so youor default nick will be root, there will be a tonne of other fools with the same nick so you get a randomly generated one
[18:08] <soreau> ActionParsnip: why call people fools? is it even possible to login as root on ubuntu?
[18:08] <Dr_Willis> soreau:  not by default.
[18:09] <ActionParsnip> soreau: running an irc client as root is pretty dumb
[18:09] <Dr_Willis> 'running anything as root thats not needed
[18:09]  * wiesshund me logs in as root on embeded linux :(  <excuse, has no choice>
[18:09] <soreau> Yea but that is not likely so you shouldnt jump to conclusions
[18:09] <Dr_Willis> 'running anything as root thats not needed = major security type issue' :)
[18:09] <soreau> especially when it involves name calling :P
[18:09] <Segura> Hi, I have downloaded a chmod script and It crash in the 13 line, any idea why? http://pastebin.com/1M5rcj3Q
[18:09] <ActionParsnip> soreau: look at the info of the nick, gives it away
[18:09] <saidi> soreau, now it's installed, after installing manpages-dev package
[18:10] <ActionParsnip> Segura: I'd ask in #perl
[18:10] <Dr_Willis> Segura:  you prioberly need to install some perl module/support packages for 'gtk'
[18:10] <EruditeOgre> saidi: :)
[18:10] <Segura> okey thx
[18:10] <abhijit> hello friends :)
[18:10] <soreau> saidi: It was already installed here.. unless some other dev package pulled it in some time ago
[18:10] <ActionParsnip> !hi | abhijit
[18:10] <abhijit> ActionParsnip, :)
[18:10] <Dr_Willis> Segura:  read the script.. line 3 --> # A GUI for chown, chgrp and chmod. Requires perl and perl-gtk
[18:11] <soreau> saidi: or unless you arent using regular ubuntu
[18:11] <saidi> EruditeOgre, thank you :)
[18:11] <kop_> regular ubuntu ?
[18:11] <jNovice> Hi. I have coputer wiht Athlon 1,4 Ghz and with 1,5gb ddr. Will be Xbuntu 10.04 much more faster on this hardware than Ubuntu 10.04 ?
[18:11] <saidi> soreau, i'm using 9.10
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> Segura: Dr_Willis: doesnt nautilus already have that feature?
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> jNovice: XUbuntu will be faster on any hardware as it is leaner than gnome and kde
[18:11] <xangua> jNovice: better try lubuntu if you want faster
[18:12] <aeon-ltd> jNovice: 1.5 gb hdd?
[18:12] <abhijit> !who | kop_
[18:12] <Dr_Willis> ActionParsnip:  proberly does. :)
[18:12] <ActionParsnip> jNovice: there is also LUbuntu which will hopefully get official status and is lihter still
[18:12] <wiesshund> aeon-ltd>> 1.5gb ddr ram
[18:12] <aeon-ltd> wiesshund:  my bad, skim read it
[18:12] <wiesshund> hehe
[18:12] <Dr_Willis> lubuntu is looking perttier now in 10.10 also -> http://www.webupd8.org/2010/07/new-artwork-for-lubuntu-1010-maverick.html
[18:13] <jNovice> aeon-ltd i'm wrote 1,5gb ddr :P
[18:13] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: yeah theres still a few niggles though
[18:13] <aeon-ltd> jNovice: what would be better is either lubuntu, or get stock ubuntu and strip it down, and use *boxes as your wm and a light panel like tint2
[18:13] <jNovice> xangua ActionParsnip i'm not very professional user, it will be harder to use Lubuntu than Ubuntu ?
[18:14] <abhijit> Dr_Willis, have you installed lubuntu on ubuntu?
[18:14] <Dr_Willis> jNovice:  lighter - some features may not be there normally..
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> jNovice: more guides are for Ubuntu, I'd use that until you get familiar. You can install LXDE later for a more responsive system if you find it slow
[18:14] <Dr_Willis> jNovice:  so yes it might be a little harder to do some things.. they use different apps for most everything.. some m ay be easier
[18:14] <Dr_Willis> abhijit:  last time i did that.. it had 'issues'
[18:14] <abhijit> Dr_Willis, hello its me abhi_nav :) this is my new nick :)
[18:14] <slidinghorn> jNovice, all desktop environments will have their own quirks, but the underlying purpose is pretty similar.  you shouldn't have problems making the switch.
[18:14] <nameda> jNovice: There's always Ubuntu Netbook Remix. I'm using that on my primary right now, with the custom WM disabled
[18:15] <abhijit> Dr_Willis, so you will recommend me to do it or not? I mean installing lubuntu on my cutely running ubuntu?
[18:15] <Dr_Willis> jNovice:  you could roll your own 'light' desktop depending on your needs.
[18:15] <Dr_Willis> abhijit:  test it out via a live cd first. You may hate it.
[18:15] <schlaftier> Segura: probably libgtk2-perl is the package you need
[18:15] <abhijit> Dr_Willis, ok. Thanks :)
[18:15] <Dr_Willis> abhijit:  last i tried it. the thing remioved network-manager and installed wicd.. which was a bit of a bother.
[18:16] <terrylm> Can someone using 10.04 look in their /boot directory and tell me if they do or do not have a file like initrd-something.img or initrd.img-something?
[18:16] <abhijit> Dr_Willis, I see
[18:16] <Segura> Dr_Willis, perl OK, perl-gtk not in the repositories
[18:16] <schlaftier> Segura: probably libgtk2-perl is the package you need
[18:16] <Dr_Willis> abhijit:  and i cant stand the file manager they used. There was an issue (ages ago) where some how installing lubuntu-desktop also set the gnome default fuile manager to be the pcmanfm, which i found VERY annoying.
[18:16] <Dr_Willis> Segura:  use the search feature of the package manager.. or see what schlaftier  suggested
[18:17] <abhijit> Dr_Willis, ok
[18:17] <Segura> I already had that package
[18:18] <ActionParsnip> pcmanfm is sweet, super slick
[18:18] <jNovice> ok, thank you all. First I will try xbuntu, and on VM on more powerfull hardware I will check lubuntu :)
[18:18] <bullgard4> What is the reason that Ubuntu today offers to upgrade to 10.04.1 today ahead of time?
[18:19] <ronald> hola a todos
[18:19] <bullgard4> !es | ronald
[18:19] <aristo> ronald #ubuntu-es
[18:19] <josephseraos> hola
[18:19] <josephseraos> rs
[18:19] <Dr_Willis> bullgard4:  ive not seen it offer...
[18:20] <john38> Can i ask a question not related to Ubuntu
[18:20] <ronald> que tal de donde eres
[18:20] <john38> Is it possible to hear your computer through your TV's speakers
[18:20] <bullgard4> john38: See the channel #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:20] <ssoxygen> I am developing an open source (GPL v3) project to apply KDE's oxygen icons to Windows. I want to know whether I am permitted to incorporate Ubuntu's human icon set.
[18:20] <Dr_Willis> john38:  run wires from audio out to the tv audio in....
[18:20] <bullgard4> john38: Yes it is.
[18:21] <josephseraos> whois josephseraos
[18:21] <josephseraos> how do I use the "whois" command?
[18:21] <bullgard4> josephseraos: You forgot the slant at the beginning.
[18:21] <KrisKo> josephseraos: /whois
[18:21] <abhijit> john38, and you asked that can you ask questions not related ubuntu, yes you can ask but not here you can ask them in #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:21] <abhijit> josephseraos, /whois <nick>
[18:21] <john38> well computer only has DVI, VGA S-Video
[18:21] <ssoxygen> I am developing an open source (GPL v3) project to apply KDE's oxygen icons to Windows. I want to know whether I am permitted to incorporate Ubuntu's human icon set. If I am permitted, then what "accreditation" should I give to canonical
[18:22] <josephseraos> what does it do?
[18:23] <john38> Dr_Willis, video card only has DVI , VGA and S-Video my tv only has S-Video
[18:23] <abhijit> josephseraos, tell you about the current status of that nick, which channes he joined etc you try it
[18:24] <BluesKaj> john38, just run miniplug stereo to rca adapter from the pc audio out to the rca audio input of your tv , if they are so equipped
[18:24] <bullgard4> Dr_Willis: May be the offer has begun in Europe and only later proceeds to other continents. I do not know.
[18:24] <Dr_Willis> john38:  what dose video have to do with Audio?
[18:25] <Dr_Willis> bullgard4:  if you ahve been update/upgrading daily like me. I proberly alrleady am at  10.04.1 :)
[18:25] <advorak> Ubuntu just upgraded my kernel and I'm not liking the change .. what's the easiest way to select the older kernel as default in grub?
[18:26] <Dr_Willis> advorak:  what changed about it?
[18:26] <bitplane_> sooo... anyone recommend any steam games which work well in Ubuntu?
[18:26] <bullgard4> Dr_Willis: Only today '~$ lsb_release -a' showed me 'Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS'.
[18:26] <daftykins> !grub2 | advorak
[18:26] <john38> BluesKaj, i want to hear computer content on Tv's built in speakers i dont want to hear sound from desktop speakers
[18:26] <Dr_Willis> bullgard4:  same here. no idea when it changed. :)
[18:26] <advorak> Dr_Willis: the upgrade destablized my ubuntu installation in VirtualBox
[18:27] <Dr_Willis> advorak:  you did file a bug?  You can edit the grub cfgs to set the default kernel.
[18:27] <BluesKaj> john38, remove thedesktop speaker wire connection and then do as I posted above.
[18:27] <bullgard4> Dr_Willis: The question is why it came out prematurely or "ahead of time".
[18:28] <wiesshund> bitplane_>>  half-life series, fear1
[18:28] <Dr_Willis> bullgard4:  as far as i know the x.x.1 stuff is mainly when they send out a new 'default' cd.   Not really a 'big' jump in the packages avail. they just roll all the updates into the new iso
[18:29] <bitplane_> thanks wiesshund :)
[18:29] <Dr_Willis> bullgard4:  so in 'theory' if you did a clean install from a X.X.1 cd. you souldent have 200+ mb of updates right at teh start
[18:29] <bitplane_> I'll check out fear 1
[18:29] <josephseraos_> thanks
[18:30] <josephseraos_> how do I change my nickname?
[18:30] <abhijit> josephseraos_, /nick <newnick>
[18:30] <slidinghorn> josephseraos_, /nick newnickname
[18:30] <advorak> Dr_Willis: I was looking in grub.cfg before, and it pointed me to /etc/default/grub .. It just didn't hit me .. I'll try playing with GRUB_DEFAULT= :-)
[18:30] <ssoxygen__> I am developing an open source (GPL v3) project to apply KDE's oxygen icons to Windows. I want to know whether I am permitted to incorporate Ubuntu's human icon set and offer that as an option (Ubuntu's human icon theme is under a CC-BY-SA license, AFAIK). If I am permitted, then must I state that the Human icon set is under a different license?
[18:30] <wiesshund> bitplane_>>  ive also ran doom3 diablo2 (non steam) and wow in linux no probs. that about the only games ive got. im sure lot sof others work as well
[18:30] <bullgard4> Dr_Willis: I hope that a major portions of the bugs which I reported to Launchpad will have been fixed in 10.04.1.
[18:30] <Dr_Willis> advorak:  theres a 'saved' option thats lets you use some command line tools
[18:31] <advorak> daftykins: thanks.  I was there, but I couldn't find what I was looking for .. but GRUB_DEFAULT= in /etc/default/grub seems most appropriate...
[18:31] <rww> bullgard4: 10.04 + regular system updates = 10.04.1. If they haven't been fixed by updates to 10.04, they're not going to be fixed in 10.04.1
[18:31] <Dr_Willis> bullgard4:  it dosent work that way.. if you update/upgraded regullary. you should have an identical system to whatever 10.04.1 is. Its not like they released 200+ fix's just for 10.04.1
[18:31] <preecher> ive been using ubuntu for about 3 years and i used to have windows and ubuntu -now i only have ubuntu because i wiped my windows restore area on my harddrive by mistake-i dont really need windows but i did use to have video and voice chat on yahoo messenger with out of state relatives and now i can only use empathy and pidgin and such and i have been unable to have the audio/video---does it work in ubuntu ? or is this only somethi
[18:31] <preecher> ng that works in windows? can someone help me please
[18:31] <soreau> john38: Your tv only has svideo in, no audio inputs?
[18:32] <xangua> preecher: try gyache fot audio/video in yahoo
[18:32] <wiesshund> ssoxygen__>>  ive no idea on the licensing part, but doesnt litestep already have a theme like that?
[18:32] <abhijit> preecher, video and audio chat works well in ubuntu in empathy or pidgin
[18:32] <Zolomon> This isn't really ubuntu related but I don't really know where to turn.. I just got my hands on a http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/12722_div/12722_div.HTML - but I don't have the original adapter. I have a universal adapter that I'm unsure about whether I can use or not. What voltage is needed?
[18:32] <bullgard4> rww, Dr_Willis Thank you for commenting.
[18:33] <abhijit> Zolomon, may be try in ##hardware?
[18:33] <wiesshund> Zolomon>>  4-cell (32 WHr) Lithium-Ion  i believe is 6 volt?
[18:33] <xangua> abhijit preecher voice and video in empathy/pidgin works only in jabber
[18:34] <bitplane_> Zolomon, you can get a universal adapter with a bunch of different connections and adjustable voltage
[18:34] <abhijit> xangua, I see
[18:34] <bitplane_> it will say the voltage on the bottom of your laptop
[18:34] <preecher> xangua i appreciate ygachi info but i was in here last night and we never got it to work something about it not working in 10.4 according to the one helping me last night --abhijit i must be doing something wrong cause i cant get it to work in pidgin or empathy on the yahoo protocol
[18:34] <Zolomon> bitplane_: Yeah, I have one like that. I'm just not sure if something might break if I use the wrong voltage..
[18:34] <wiesshund> Zolomon>>  while you can always start at low voltage, you only get one chance at polarity, check it very good before hand
[18:34] <Zolomon> bitplane_: I tried to look but there was nothing on the bottom
[18:35] <ssoxygen__> @wiesshund:This program is supposed to change most of your windows icons to icons from Linux themes. Its basically for linux lovers stuck on windows. The thing is under the GPL, and incorporating the human theme will mean including CC Sharealike code into the program. Does this mean that Ill have to relicense all the code under the CC-BY-SA
[18:35] <josephseraos> is this channel the same of irc.ubuntu.com ?
[18:35] <wiesshund> Zolomon>>  and yes if you over juice it, it will probably fry it, but that battery pack i believe is 6 volts
[18:35] <Zolomon> tell wiesshund: polarity? I live in Sweden - never had to worry about polarity before..? :S
[18:35] <jonathan> josephseraos: yes, it's the same server
[18:35] <Zolomon> tell wiesshund: Thanks!
[18:35] <abhijit> I never heard about irc.ubuntu.com. does it really exists?
[18:36] <rww> abhijit: irc.ubuntu.com is an alias to irc.freenode.net.
[18:36] <LjL> abhijit: it's just an alias to freenode
[18:36] <wiesshund> Zolomon>>  LOL in sweden DC current has polarity too
[18:36] <advorak> Dr_Willis: thanks, I'll look at the Saved section. :-)
[18:36] <rww> or chat.freenode.net. or something.
[18:36] <abhijit> rww, LjL ok
[18:36] <abhijit> hmm
[18:36] <ActionParsnip> Yo yo yo

[18:37] <preecher> if i get a jabber account will that make my audio/video work on the yahoo protocol in pidgin?
[18:37] <abhijit> wiesshund, its ok
[18:37] <rww> How do I purge deleted messages in mutt without closing and reopening the mailbox?
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> preecher: is gyache still not built on its ppa?
[18:38] <xangua> preecher: no
[18:38] <Zolomon> EruditeOgre: Thanks! I guess I can't use my adapter then, capped at 12V. :/
[18:38] <xangua> ActionParsnip: in the ppa there is no version for lucid
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> Xangua: gotcha
[18:38] <preecher> ActionParsnip i dunno i dunno  what that means
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> preecher: nm, xangua cleared it up
[18:39] <sebsebseb> Hi
[18:39] <preecher> what is ppa
[18:39] <Dr_Willis> !ppa | preecher
[18:39] <EruditeOgre> rww: $
[18:39] <EruditeOgre> also known as <sync-mailbox>
[18:40] <sebsebseb> Dr_Willis: oh that factoid has  changed a bit, still pretty useless though unless the link explains it propery
[18:40] <rww> EruditeOgre: thanks
[18:40] <preecher> ActionParsnip do i need a ppa
[18:40] <ActionParsnip> sebsebseb: the link let's you search the launchpad ppas. Pretty useful
[18:41] <ActionParsnip> preecher: there's a gyache ppa which does cam and voice for yahoo but the ppa doesn't have a lucid folder
[18:41] <sebsebseb> preecher: Ubuntu tends to only do security updates, and so a ppa is a way to add repos yourself, to get later versions of software, if you don't want to wait untill the next Ubuntu release (or change distro to one that already has that software).  Shoudn't install to many ppas, because they are only semi supported, and sometimes can cause issues with your install.
[18:41] <sebsebseb> preecher: and installing from a ppa would be easier than compileing a program from source
[18:42] <hiromi> sebsebseb, of course
[18:42] <hiromi> sebsebseb, a ppa is a personal repository of packages, you add it once and it just works :)
[18:42] <preecher> i dont know how to compile -so more or less i cant audio/video on the yahoo protocol?
[18:43] <sebsebseb> hiromi: or it maybe messes up the system,  if its a malicious ppa for example
[18:43] <abhijit> !compile | preecher
[18:43] <hiromi> sebsebseb, well that could happen, true :)
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> preecher: if there is another client or another ppa then yes
[18:43] <preecher> ActionParsnip how can i find out
[18:48] <preecher> i just looked at the ygachi page again- if i install a older ubuntu that ygahchi will work on will that be ok instead of using 10.4?
[18:51] <EruditeOgre> preecher: https://launchpad.net/~loell/+archive/ppa
[18:51] <gharz> guys, is it safe to install ubuntu on top of windowz 7 using wubi?
[18:51] <gharz> !wubi
[18:51] <gharz> i'm concern about the boot up system if wubi can automatically configure the boot configuration of windowz 7
[18:51] <EruditeOgre> preecher: It's got 1.2.9-0.1 for lucid
[18:51] <gharz> some clarifications, please.
[18:52] <coz_> gharz,  I have not tried but based on some of the comments on this channel I would say it is tentative at best
[18:52] <gharz> coz_: ok.
[18:52] <gharz> thanks!!!!
[18:52] <gharz> i'll do that
[18:52] <coz_> gharz,   why not simply install ubuntu on its own partition?
[18:52] <wonderworld> hey, i need an english native speaker. What would you say if a guy fights with a dog for a ball?
[18:52] <wonderworld> fight about the ball?
[18:52] <wonderworld> fight for a ball?
[18:52] <preecher> EruditeOgre i think that is for 64bit i tried that one last night
[18:52] <coz_> wonderworld,  i would say it is off topic
[18:52] <henkpostma> fight over a ball
[18:53] <coz_> wonderworld,  fights over the ball
[18:53] <gharz> coz_: coz it's easier for me to delete ubuntu and i don't have to reconfigure the mbr... besides i don't have CD available :( it's running on a daemon tools
[18:53] <wonderworld> coz_: nah, it's the name finding process for an ubuntu version
[18:53] <gharz> ;)
[18:53] <wonderworld> thanks guys
[18:53] <henkpostma> I have a problem with two files disappearing after rebooting after kernel upgrade
[18:53] <coz_> gharz,  ah ok welll... then give it a whirl
[18:53] <gharz> coz_: thanks!
[18:54] <EruditeOgre> preecher: Don't know. It doesn't say anything on the PPA about being 64-bit only
[18:54] <henkpostma> it is /var/run/screen, which I was able to recreate, and /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p which means my sound is not working now
[18:54] <preecher> EruditeOgre ill try again
[18:59] <henkpostma> does anybody know how to recreate this sound device /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p
[19:00] <EruditeOgre> henkpostma: are your drivers for your sound card installed properly?
[19:00] <ub123> hi, i got a usb livecd and a corrupt harddisk (i think), but when i choose 'live cd' it just starts giving endless errors 'ata1.00: failed command: read DMA' etc
[19:01] <henkpostma> EruditeOgre: they were working before the kernel upgrade
[19:01] <ub123> how can i make it ignore the harddisk and just do it from memory?
[19:01] <coz_> ub123,  when starting the live cd  choose the "check cd " options to be sure the disk is not corrupted
[19:01] <henkpostma> EruditeOgre: so I presume they were installed properly
[19:01] <ub123> ok i will
[19:02] <coz_> ub123,  if the hard drive is corrupt  and you have nothing on it that you need to save
[19:02] <ub123> i do unfortunately :(
[19:02] <coz_> ub123,  you can then us a utility that can be burned to disk named   Dban
[19:02] <EruditeOgre> henkpostma: Check to see if they are still working.
[19:02] <Number5_> Hello, is it possible to use Skype on Ubuntu???
[19:02] <coz_> ub123,  that will write zeros to the drive  and if it is not a bad hard drive it should be free of any problems

[19:03] <coz_> ub123,  I see... and you cannot access that disk at all ?
[19:03] <ub123> it just tries to boot the live cd (from usb) for hours, giving endless 'ata' errors

[19:05] <xangua> NewtoLinux: the gues account doesn't save setting, better istan a single irc cliente like xchat
[19:06] <Tempus_> hello all hey I have the live in my drive and it gave me the package manger before but now its not giving me that option, Im using my android phone to tether for internet, how do I get back to the package manager to reinstall some items I am missing
[19:06] <EruditeOgre> Oh, didn't knwo the guest doesn't save settings
[19:06] <NewtoLinux> EruditeOgre: i installed it in the admin account .. now i have to reinstall it in the guest as well
[19:07] <ghoti> Is there a way I can get `dig` to tell me which nameserver is handing out my request?  If the first nameserver in resolv.conf fails, I'd like to know if fault results I'm seeing are from a broken nameserver.
[19:07] <coz_> Tempus_,  not sure but you could try  from terminal  update-manager
[19:07] <Tempus_> coz_: ok will try that ty
[19:08] <ub123> coz_: that can only work once the livecd boot ups,, which it doesnt
[19:08] <coz_> ub123,  ooooo ok
[19:08] <henkpostma> EruditeOgre: I went over the link you posted, all modules are loaded and sound card is shown
[19:09] <NewtoLinux> so if i want to install a package or any addons and give other (selective) users permission, how can i do that
[19:09] <coz_> ub123,   well  unless you have another system that you can plug that system's hard drive in via usb  I am not sure then how to access it..unless you stick in the windows cd and do recovery  if in fact what is on that hard drive is windows
[19:09] <RealEyes> hey guys... I had my pc on screensaver all night. When I got back on, it wouldnt come out of screensaver mode...
[19:10] <yellowriver> nick LearnToSwim
[19:10] <ZykoticK9> RealEyes, try ctrl+alt+f1 and see if you get a terminal (do determine if the system is hung), ctrl+alt+f8 to get back to GUI i believe or f7
[19:10] <henkpostma> RealEyes:  drop to tty1 (CTRL-ALT-F1) and run 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart' to restart X, but it will drop any running programs, so you might loose unsaved data
[19:11] <RealEyes> i lost my conky uptime :/
[19:11] <RealEyes> I just hard booted it
[19:11] <henkpostma> RealEyes: that will do it too :)
[19:11] <NewtoLinux> any thoughts
[19:11] <Tempus_> coz_: well I got an option to update online but not the packages I need to reinstall ....grrrr for some reason I cant login through gnome splash screen cuz I accidentally deleted the login.keyring when I was trying to remove the default.keyring
[19:12] <RealEyes> New question: I'm dual booting win7 and Ubuntu; Whenever I start my PC, the boot screen shows TWO copies of Ubuntu generic, how do i make it show only one?
[19:12] <coz_> Tempus_,  oooo  then I am at aloss   I am sure someone here can help and if not you could try ##linux channel  although this is specific to ubuntu they may hav options
[19:12] <sebsebseb> RealEyes: uhmm yeah
[19:12] <coz_> be back In a bitg
[19:12] <RealEyes> <.<;
[19:12] <coz_> bit
[19:12] <sebsebseb> RealEyes: When you install new kernels, it will add to the bootloader
[19:13] <Beav> RealEyes, do you have a /boot/grub/menu.lst file?
[19:13] <ZykoticK9> RealEyes, if you have more then one kernel installed, you can uninstall old kernels (it is a good idea to keep 2 at least, to fall back on if necessary)
[19:13] <sebsebseb> RealEyes: to show only one,  remove the old kernel/s,  or at least the entry for them, from Grub2,  assuming your on 10.04?
[19:13] <RealEyes> What I did was: I let someone ssh into my system and I dont know what they did. I re-formatted my EXT4 and SWAP, and re-installed (10.04)...
[19:13] <sebsebseb> !grub2 | RealEyes
[19:13] <RealEyes> Now, I see 2 choices for Ubuntu.
[19:14] <NewtoLinux> so if i want to install a package or any addons and give other (selective) users permission, how can i do that
[19:14] <Beav> does Grub2 use a menu.lst file?  I can't find mine.
[19:14] <barfster> Is same-gnome no longer a part of ubuntu?
[19:14] <Tempus_> RealEyes: one of those versions of ubuntu generic may also be a recovery mode so dont delete that one
[19:14] <sebsebseb> RealEyes: oh your the one that was here last night, asking people to look at some file since the SSH?
[19:14] <henkpostma> Beav: no
[19:14] <Number5_> Does anyone wants to give a Skype name, so I can test with you?
[19:14] <sebsebseb> Beav: no Grub2 is more difficult to configure than the old one, since its not as simple as just editing menu.lst
[19:15] <sebsebseb> !grub2 | Beav
[19:15] <ZykoticK9> NewtoLinux, assuming an executable program.  Create a group with the users that you want permission to execute the file, then set X (execute) for that group but NOT the "other" group
[19:15] <Beav> thanks, I am trying to do the same thing as RealEyes
[19:15] <RealEyes> sebsebseb: Yes :D
[19:15] <sebsebseb> RealEyes: So who did you let in anyway, some guy from Internet?
[19:15] <RealEyes> I know it's -not- the recovery mode. There are 2 of those now as well.
[19:15] <n8t> hi all
[19:16] <henkpostma> ok, anybody have more things to try to recreate some /dev/snd files? There are some, but the one that alsa needs is not there
[19:16] <RealEyes> someguy123 he's on the irc.malvager.com server in #hackforums
[19:16] <Beav> i have the latest ubuntu install, when I goot is says grub 1.7
[19:16] <RealEyes> sebsebseb, doesn't matter anymore. He can't get back in lol
[19:16] <Beav> goot=boot
[19:16] <ZykoticK9> Beav, 1.7 = Grub2
[19:16] <Beav> ahhh, thanks
[19:16] <sebsebseb> RealEyes: ok didn't need to know the exact guy :D  altough that channel name seems a little odd.
[19:16] <NewtoLinux> ZykoticK9: i just added chatzilla to the admin account now if i want to give the guest permission .. how do i do that
[19:17] <RealEyes> well, it serves it's purpose.
[19:17] <ZykoticK9> NewtoLinux, sorry no idea
[19:17] <neel> How to do java programs in ubuntu??
[19:17] <sebsebseb> RealEyes: SSH and VNC can be rather useful, but you should only really let people into your computer, that you properly trust.
[19:17] <slidinghorn> neel: more information is needed.  see !details (/msg ubottu !details)
[19:18] <RealEyes> sebsebseb, so how do I get to that boot screen and click 'delete' on my older copy? I garauntee that particular OS isnt on anymore because when I choose the second Ubuntu, it still takes me to the first.
[19:18] <sebsebseb> RealEyes: no there isn't a second Ubuntu
[19:18] <neel> I have installed JDK .How to set path as we do in windows??
[19:18] <Tempus_> bbl
[19:18] <sebsebseb> RealEyes: I guess you don't understand what a kernel is yet
[19:19] <Isonyx> Hello All. Im having a small problem. The sound Icon on the top right of my screen dissapeared anyone know how to get it back?
[19:19] <sebsebseb> !kernel | RealEyes
[19:19] <RealEyes> No. I'd really like to watch a YouTube video that dumbs everything down lol
[19:19] <Isonyx> COuld anyone assist me?
[19:19] <ZykoticK9> Isonyx, right click / add to panel / indicator applet.  Or did you try uninstalling Pulse?
[19:19] <Isonyx> Pulse?
[19:19] <sebsebseb> RealEyes: so yeah  like the bot said its the core,  and yes its the core of any Linux distribution/distro
[19:20] <oshi> RealEyes: If you want stuff dumbed down, then perhaps Windows is your best bet.
[19:20] <ZykoticK9> Isonyx, try the right click thing ;)
[19:20] <RealEyes> thx for the tip oshi
[19:20] <Isonyx> Whats that And yes I looked and the sound Icon isnt moveable and therefore not included in the apps..
[19:20] <RealEyes> thats why I'm dual booting lol
[19:20] <sebsebseb> RealEyes: in simple terms altough this isn't 100% correct,  its the program in the background, that deals with all hardware and software.  well I suppouse thats pretty much correct really, I mean it has to run xorg as well after all, which is responsible for the graphical stuff.
[19:20] <RealEyes> so i see...
[19:20] <Beav> has anyone used virtual box to boot the latest version of ubuntu from a fixed hdd inside vista or win7?
[19:21] <MDVz0r> is there a difference between the ubuntu 10.04 live cd and the installation? Because when i put my laptop in standby, when running the livecd, it works perfectly, but when i put it in standby, running the installation from my harddisk, the screen remains black when resuming..
[19:21] <Redcl0ud> RealEyes, if you search for nixie pixel on youtube she has some videos on certain linux stuff that you might like
[19:21] <RealEyes> I've been watching her! :D She's good.
[19:21] <RealEyes> I got my themes and my compiz working cuz of her
[19:21] <sebsebseb> RealEyes: I thinink heres a good download for you
[19:21] <Isonyx> So...Whats pulse?
[19:21] <ZykoticK9> Beav, by "fixed hdd" do you mean a physical partition?
[19:21] <sebsebseb> !manual | RealEyes
[19:21] <sebsebseb> RealEyes: Theres also an Ubuntu Pocket Guide that you can download, thats good
[19:21] <Beav> ZykoticK9, yes
[19:21] <Beav> not a live disk
[19:22] <RealEyes> linkage plx? :D
[19:22] <sebsebseb> Isonyx: Pulseaudio is what Ubuntu uses for sound by default since 8.04, and since the way they do it or whatever, thats also the reason for most sound problems since 8.04.
[19:22] <Isonyx> Hello All. Im having a small problem. The sound Icon on the top right of my screen dissapeared anyone know how to get it back?
[19:22] <Isonyx> Ah.
[19:22] <Isonyx> I see.
[19:22] <RealEyes> these things will get me familiar with grub so I can delete that empty selection on my boot screen?
[19:22] <sebsebseb> lsandova: and there are  other ones you can use instead, like ALSA and such
[19:22] <Isonyx> So how do I uninstall it?
[19:22] <RealEyes> You can theme GRUB2? lol
[19:22] <ZykoticK9> Beav, I've never used VBox for actual partitions before.  See Raw disks in documentation for some hints http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#rawdisk  Notice the warning!  Best of luck.
[19:23] <sebsebseb> lsandova: not you.  Isonyx see above
[19:23] <Beav> ZykoticK9, thanks!
[19:23] <RealEyes> you know what I did? When I partitioned I chose  to put it to '/' instead of '/boot'
[19:23] <sebsebseb> Isonyx: normally you don't, and by doing so, the sound applet I belive it was, may brake
[19:23] <sebsebseb> RealEyes: you don't need a seperate /boot
[19:23] <RealEyes> but, it's still on the GRUB2 menus...
[19:23] <sebsebseb> RealEyes: by default Ubuntu puts everything into /  ,but its useful to have a seperate /home as well :)
[19:23] <abhijit> !sound | Amol
[19:23] <RealEyes> Hm, i'll just pipe down and read ;)
[19:24] <abhijit> !webcam | Amol
[19:24] <slidinghorn> RealEyes, yes you can...you can use splash images, colors, or an application called burg for a GUI based grub (here's mine: http://imagebin.org/106681)
[19:24] <Redcl0ud> would be nice if there was a free manual that could be downloaded for the ipod touch
[19:24] <Isonyx> Maybe..Pulse HAS been uninstalled or the process has been stopped..Any idea what the process name is? + Its not a problem with the sound ITS A PROBLEM WITH THE SOUND APPLET being invisible.
[19:24] <sebsebseb> RealEyes: slidinghorn   I don't think Brug is the best thing to recommend for a newbie, since its still in development.
[19:24] <sebsebseb> Burg
[19:25] <rww> Redcl0ud: you mean an Ubuntu manual that's readable on the iPod Touch?
[19:25] <sebsebseb> RealEyes:  slidinghorn and its a pretty new project
[19:25] <Amol> abhijit, Thanks dude
[19:25] <Amol> abhijit, will look into the link
[19:25] <Redcl0ud> ya
[19:25] <rww> Redcl0ud: can they read PDF?
[19:25] <sebsebseb> RealEyes: slidinghorn and if it goes wrong on people, there bootloader can completly mess up, as far as I know
[19:25] <abhijit> Amol, ok
[19:25] <Redcl0ud> no clue never tried
[19:25] <ZykoticK9> slidinghorn, that's really cool!  Thanks for pointing out burg (still not sure i'll bother though, grub and plymouth only take a couple of seconds)
[19:25] <rww> Redcl0ud: if it turns out they can, http://ubuntu-manual.org/
[19:26] <raks437> I need some help installing MySQL on Ubuntu 10.4..Need urgent help please ?
[19:26] <seanscot_> Hi folks.
[19:26] <j0rb> hey, having a network problem upgrading from ubuntu 7 to ubuntu 10 on an older box. i've got an onboard NIC i don't want to use, and an intel pro gigabit NIC that i do want to use. ubuntu only wants to use the skge driver for my intel pro, which results in a 'link is not ready' message. i think i got this working a few years ago by forcing the use of the e1000 driver somehow, but that doesn't seem to be working now. any clue what i could
[19:26] <RealEyes> slidinghorn: SICK SCREEN!
[19:26] <trism> Isonyx: did you add the Indicator Applet back to the panel as previously suggested? Is indicator-sound installed?
[19:26] <RealEyes> so now, tell me what that firefox page is that you're on titled 'Absolute Beginner'
[19:26] <Redcl0ud> I have the manual downloaded on this pc atm would like to be able to read it some other way while I did stuff on the pc
[19:27] <seanscot_> Complete newb here, anyone know how to get packet tracer installed on ubuntu?
[19:27] <RealEyes> The file '/home/realeyes/Downloads/utorrent.exe' is not marked as executable.  If this was downloaded or copied form an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run.
[19:27] <banished> Hi, how can I find out which version of a library I have installed?
[19:27] <slidinghorn> RealEyes, check out this page for theming GRUB: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2
[19:27] <Isonyx> Trism: Thanks so much. I ow you one.
[19:28] <seanscot_> Theres an ubuntu installer , but im just too much of a tard to know how to install bin or pkg files lol
[19:28] <seanscot_> Anyone?
[19:28] <kitty_> I am looking for help on getting dual monitor support working in hardy
[19:28] <ZykoticK9> RealEyes, that's the new message from Gnome, you need to mark the file executable either from nautilus or command line.  FYI using wine from command line does NOT have this issue.
[19:28] <rww> Redcl0ud: Right-click it in the file manager -> Properties -> Permissions -> check the Execute box
[19:28] <kitty_> seanscot_ dpkg blah.deb
[19:28] <rww> RealEyes: Right-click it in the file manager -> Properties -> Permissions -> check the Execute box
[19:28] <rww> Redcl0ud: sorry, mistab
[19:28] <abhijit> banished, apt-cache policy <package>
[19:28] <EruditeOgre> j0rb: blacklist the driver for the intel pro
[19:28] <seanscot_> Sorry hitty?
[19:28] <BluesKaj> RealEyes, exe files are windows files and some like utorrent can be run in wine
[19:28] <seanscot_> I am a tard remember lol
[19:29] <BluesKaj> !winehq | RealEyes
[19:29] <RealEyes> I have Wine!
[19:29] <RealEyes> Dx
[19:29] <j0rb> EruditeOgre: i've tried putting 'blacklist skge' into /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf to do just that, but it had no effect. i also put 'e1000' into /etc/modules and an 'alias eth0 e1000' into /etc/modprobe.d/alias.conf -- all to no effect
[19:29] <BluesKaj> RealEyes,ok
[19:30] <ZykoticK9> seanscot_, typically you don't want to install either bin or pkg files!  use Ubuntu Software Center and Hardware Drivers to install 99% of programs.  What are you trying to install?
[19:30] <EruditeOgre> j0rb: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist not blacklist.conf
[19:30] <EruditeOgre> If I understand blacklisting correctly
[19:30] <Redcl0ud> rww, turns out they can be read on a ipod touch just don't know if I can download it straight to it though
[19:30] <seanscot_> packet tracer
[19:30] <Chad_> Hello all, have a small problem, I have networking working fine including wireless on a presario 2200 laptop, but it will not work for any user except root, it seems the drivers do not load for anybody else... how do I fix this quickly?
[19:30] <seanscot_> I just searched software centre , no joy
[19:30] <j0rb> EruditeOgre: i'll try, but i was pretty sure everything in that directory needed to end in .conf....
[19:31] <raks437> anyone help me with MySQL installation...new to ubuntu
[19:31] <RealEyes> where can i find the 'file manager>Properties...
[19:32] <sebsebseb> raks437: might, be useful well at least for MySQL I guess
[19:32] <sebsebseb> !lamp | raks437
[19:32] <sebsebseb> !mysql
[19:32] <j0rb> EruditeOgre: yeah, actually, i added my 'blacklist skge' to the bottom of the stock, pre-existing blacklist.conf file...
[19:32] <j0rb> which didn't work
[19:32] <ZykoticK9> seanscot_, sorry man i'm not familiar with "packet tracker" so can't even recommend an alternative package.  Consult and Readme or Install files that came with the package?  good luck.
[19:33] <seanscot_> Cisco packet tracer is a network emulator
[19:33] <seanscot_> used for people studying for the CCNA
[19:33] <raks437> @sebsebseb: MySQL ??Installation...rpm is giving error

[19:33] <mikeconcepts> is there a channel for ubuntu respins like pinguy?
[19:34] <EruditeOgre> j0rb: cat /etc/modprobe.d/skge.conf?
[19:34] <sebsebseb> raks437: RPM what?  Ubuntu doesn't use RPM's
[19:34] <barfster> Where did the same-gnome game go?

[19:35] <raks437> @sebsebseb: Thanks
[19:35] <john38> BluesKaj, thanks
[19:35] <sebsebseb> raks437: ok your welcome
[19:36] <EruditeOgre> j0rb: you rebooted after blacklisting, correct?
[19:36] <j0rb> EruditeOgre: many times now
[19:36] <shankar96> Anyone had success setting up httpd on startup ?
[19:36] <sebsebseb> !rpm | raks437

[19:37] <shankar96> I've been trying since yesterday, and cannot get my httpd start at boot....
[19:37] <RealEyes> ktorrent works for DLing torrents?
[19:37] <sebsebseb> !apt | raks437
[19:37] <Jordan_U> seanscot_: If they offer a .deb file then you can just double click it to install it. From when I was taking CCNA though what they had was an executable that prompts you to agree to their license, then unpacks a .deb file and installs it. Which is kind of idiotic as license agreements can be put into the .deb itself.
[19:37] <bihari> i have a problem i cant able to connect my SAMSUN SGH-B520 set to my ubuntu through USB port
[19:37] <sebsebseb> RealEyes: of course

[19:37] <john38> Is there any way to not have low id when not using aMule
[19:37] <RealEyes> Alright guys, suggest me some good techno music!
[19:37] <EruditeOgre> j0rb: 'sudo modprobe -r skge'
[19:37] <j0rb> EruditeOgre: uninstalls the module successfully and downs the interface. i've tried then modprobe -a e1000 but this doesn't make eth0 available.
[19:37] <sebsebseb> RealEyes: Ktorrent is the best alternative to Utorrent really
[19:37] <john38> Is there any way to not have low id when using aMule
[19:37] <RealEyes> Also, my win7 has Norton, what does Ubuntu have in terms of that?
[19:37] <sebsebseb> RealEyes: as for music, recommendations, we aren't meant to do that in here, however you can join #ubuntu-offtopic for that
[19:38] <RealEyes> yesss!

[19:38] <EruditeOgre> j0rb: any way to disable the ethernet in bios?
[19:38] <bvleur> Hi. I'm trying to configure pure-ftpd using this guide: http://www.ubuntu-howto.info/howto/how-to-install-and-configure-pure-ftpd . Configuration steps seem to go just fine, but trying to login gives an authentication error. What could be wronge?
[19:38] <EruditeOgre> the onboard one.
[19:38] <seanscot_> ahh, no luck so far :(
[19:38] <seanscot_> Linux:
[19:38] <seanscot_> To install the Linux BIN packages, set the permission to be executable (chmod +x PacketTracer53_*.bin) then execute the binary in the terminal.
[19:38] <ZykoticK9> barfster, the closes thing is called "Same Game" but it's different from Same Gnome (not as good in my opinion).  I can find "Same Game" in Ubuntu Software Center; but haven't figured out the actual package name yet.
[19:38] <j0rb> EruditeOgre: i've disabled the onboard one in BIOS, yes.
[19:38] <seanscot_> Instructions are probably simple to you guys lol
[19:38] <EruditeOgre> Hrm, but it's still loading the drivers for it?
[19:38] <barfster> ZykoticK9: That’s the one
[19:38] <barfster> I am installing it now: curl -O http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gnome-games/same-gnome_2.28.0-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
[19:39] <Jordan_U> seanscot_: If all they have is a ".bin" file then open a terminal and run "chmod +x /path/to/file.bin" then "/path/to/file.bin".
[19:39] <j0rb> EruditeOgre: no, the onboard NIC is out of the equation now, i think. the skge driver is being loaded for eth0 -- my intel pro.
[19:39] <haydoni> Hi, I was wondering if I should report this/these as a bug (I'm new to this), vlc and spotify don't respect transparency/colour of panel, http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=u1s9z&s=3 (screenshot) any thoughts?
[19:39] <john38> Is there any way to not have low id when using aMule
[19:40] <seanscot_> how do i find the path?
[19:40] <john38> it says because im behind a firewall or router
[19:40] <naxil> hi
[19:40] <Jordan_U> seanscot_: You can drag the file into the terminal.
[19:40] <Chad_> networking working fine including wireless on a presario 2200 laptop running Ubunu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope, but problem is it will not work for any user except root, it seems the drivers do not load for anybody else... how do I fix this quickly?

[19:40] <seanscot_> I tried it :(
[19:41] <Jordan_U> seanscot_: And what happened?
[19:41] <wtf1> Is it possible to create md5 files for complete folders with md5sum
[19:41] <EruditeOgre> j0rb: So it's loading the wrong driver for the hardware? Sorry, I'm just trying to understand exactly what is going on cause when you first said it you seemed to be saying that it was loading the drivers for both.

[19:43] <seanscot_> I dont want to attempt the windows version with wine, thats just lame
[19:43] <Drak> how to configure scroll-wheel from mouse?
[19:43] <j0rb> EruditeOgre: sorry, i mentioned the onboard NIC for no good reason and probably should have been clearer. i have a single NIC, an add-in PCI intel pro. ubuntu has detected it and decided to use the wrong driver -- skge. i cannot seem to force ubuntu to use the e1000 driver for it. the reason i'm going down this path is, i *think* it's how i got this NIC working last build.
[19:43] <Jordan_U> seanscot_: What happens when you try to drag the file into the terminal?
[19:43] <haydoni> xangua: is that a "no"? Does qt mean ubuntu not seeing it isn't a bug? I thought the spotify may be a bug in wine? cheers
[19:44] <seanscot_> unknown file type it says
[19:44] <seanscot_> now it says permission denied
[19:44] <Jordan_U> seanscot_: Immediately after dragging it, or after running the command?
[19:44] <shankar96> Anyone had success installing startup scripts with chkconfig ?
[19:44] <seanscot_> yes
[19:45] <Jordan_U> seanscot_: Which?
[19:45] <shankar96> I do chkconfig -a httpd on, and the startup scripts dont take effect...
[19:45] <shankar96> Any suggestions on how to do it ?>
[19:45] <seanscot_> just imeddiately after dragging it in
[19:46] <Drak> please, how to configure the speed of my scroll wheel mouse??
[19:46] <seanscot_> im installing root now
[19:46] <seanscot_> maybe that will help?
[19:46] <sebsebseb> !root | seanscot_
[19:46] <abhijit> Drak, system=>preferences=>mouse?
[19:47] <seanscot_> it said root wasnt installed then gave me instructions to download it
[19:47] <Drak> abhijit, option has no scroll wheel there
[19:47] <Drak> :\
[19:47] <seanscot_> not sure if its the right thing to do but I just went with it lol
[19:47] <beav> well I got the old kernel distros out of my boot loader
[19:47] <sebsebseb> beav: no they aren't distros
[19:48] <sebsebseb> !distros | beav
[19:48] <sebsebseb> beav: and a load of others
[19:48] <sebsebseb> !kernel
[19:48] <Jordan_U> Right click the file in the file browser and go to Properties then permissions. Check the box that says "Allow executing file as program".
[19:48] <beav> sebsebseb, thanks for the correction.  i didn't mean distro, i meant version
[19:48] <GeForce88> how do you change the resolution in [Ubuntu "karmic" 9.10] using nvidia drivers and the nvidia control dialog doesn't show support for more than 640X480. i know this hardware will support 1024x768 and higher
[19:49] <EruditeOgre> j0rb: after getting the proper driver on did you try an ifup eth0?
[19:49] <abhijit> Drak, this page has some results see if any useful to you: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en-GB&q=mouse%20scrolling%20speed%20ubuntu
[19:49] <seanscot_> jesus im thick
[19:50] <seanscot_> all i had to do was go to permissions and make it executable
[19:50] <Danawar> Heyaa, i need to install this http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=14410&action=edit in order to get COD4 working how would i go about doing this?@
[19:50] <seanscot_> lol
[19:50] <EruditeOgre> j0rb: ex. 'modprobe -r skge', 'modprobe -a e1000', 'ifup eth0'
[19:51] <seanscot_> Yes!!
[19:51] <seanscot_> Done!!
[19:51] <seanscot_> Thank you!
[19:51] <seanscot_> I can get on with my studies now :)
[19:51] <Jordan_U> seanscot_: You're welcome :)
[19:51] <j0rb> EruditeOgre: ifup complains that interface eth0=eth0 is unknown. i have been using ifconfig eth0 down/up though -- same thing, right?
[19:52] <uzu-cat> i'd like to install windows on a partition, but i've heard that when you do that the ubuntu launcher gots deleted
[19:53] <wtf1> Is it possible to change the resolution of plymouth?
[19:53] <EruditeOgre> j0rb: Yeah. ifup eth0 is really just ifconfig eth0 up
[19:53] <Jordan_U> seanscot_: When you're done with your studies maybe you should ask Cisco to distribut it as a normal .deb file so it can just be double clicked to install, they can look at the packaging for Sun (Oracle) Java if they can't figure out how to add a license agreememnt to the .deb itself.
[19:53] <abhijit> uzu-cat, its not get deleted. you need to reinstal it. thats it
[19:53] <abhijit> !fixgrub | uzu-cat
[19:53] <j0rb> EruditeOgre: yeah, so no dice then. it's like e1000 can load, but isn't being associated with the device for some reason. i had thought that "alias eth0 e1000" in /etc/modprobe.d/somefile would do that part...
[19:54] <uzu-cat> and how can i reinstall it from the livecd?
[19:55] <abhijit> uzu-cat  read the link given by ubottu. yes live cd
[19:56] <uzu-cat> oh, thats right, i didn't see it
[19:57] <poser> I recently install ubuntu 10.04 and ran software update this morning, but when I boot up now, I get a screen that says "grub >" any idea how to fix this?
[19:58] <poser> I also tried the grub-install /dev/sda, which did not do the trick
[19:58] <Scherenhaenden> hi everybody
[19:58] <beav> you could try sudo update-grub
[19:58] <uzu-cat> well, thank you guys!
[19:58] <Scherenhaenden> im trying to install my soundcar... it was working really well upto an upgrade
[19:58] <abhijit> !who > beav
[19:59] <Scherenhaenden> n now i cant make it work
[19:59] <strangebre> is there a tool which can write mac addresses on my lan into a csv?
[19:59] <poser> beav: I tried that too
[19:59] <Scherenhaenden> does know anybody how can i do to install my soundcar?
[20:00] <western> Hello
[20:00] <beav> poser, you boot right in to grub?
[20:01] <poser> beav: it seems that way, like it just says grub> and a paragraph essentially saying to hit tab for options
[20:01] <EruditeOgre> j0rb: Think I found it!
[20:01] <j0rb> EruditeOgre: crossing fingers :)
[20:02] <EruditeOgre> 'less /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules'
[20:02] <Scherenhaenden> brb
[20:02] <beav> poser, can you manually get in to the system?
[20:04] <j0rb> EruditeOgre: just the one PCI device line starting with SUBSYSTEM.
[20:04] <poser> haven't tried, assuming you mean can I boot from the grub menu? I'm using the live cd now
[20:04] <j0rb> EruditeOgre: correct MAC, NAME="eth0", etc
[20:05] <bock> when i close the lid on my laptop it causes the login screen locks up??
[20:05] <EruditeOgre> j0rb: What does it have for DRIVER==?
[20:05] <j0rb> EruditeOgre: DRIVERS=="?*",
[20:05] <EruditeOgre> So it's searching the device path upwards
[20:06] <bock> when i close the lid on my laptop it causes the login screen locks up anyone know a fix for this
[20:06] <poser> beav: I do not see a menu.lst in either the /boot or /boot/grub directories
[20:06] <poser> beav: probably the main issue
[20:07] <j0rb> EruditeOgre: hrm.... not sure what to make of that.
[20:07] <poser> beav: nevermind, I see that menu.lst no longer is used
[20:08] <EruditeOgre> j0rb: me either. Trying to mentally work through at what point the skge driver is being associated with the network card.
[20:08] <kasun> bock, Go to System-> Power Management -> Then you can choose what to do when the laptop lid is closed.
[20:08] <GeForce88> how do you change the resolution in [Ubuntu "karmic" 9.10] using nvidia drivers and the nvidia control dialog doesn't show support for more than 640X480. i know this hardware will support 1024x768 and higher
[20:09] <kasun> GeForce88, are you sure the NVdia driver is installed?
[20:09] <GeForce88> according to compiz working and the hardware drivers dialog box, yes
[20:10] <GeForce88> i just can not set the resolution any higher.
[20:10] <naxil> i have a problem with fstab
[20:10] <bock> kasun: thanks i feel like an idiot this is so easy i forget
[20:10] <kasun> GeForce88, go to System -> Administration -> hardware drivers and check whether the driver is activated.
[20:10] <kasun> bock, no problems :)
[20:11] <GeForce88> kasun, yes it is. reconfiguring by using the reconfigure tool for nvidia does the same thing.
[20:11] <GeForce88> it will NOT set above 640
[20:11] <GeForce88> can i manually add the resolution i want in the conf ?
[20:12] <naxil> geforce you know something for radeon 9250 128mb
[20:12] <GeForce88> naxil, i do not. i know ati is Supposed to just work with ubuntu
[20:13] <kasun> GeForce88, where you tried to set the resolution?
[20:13] <GeForce88> kasun, nvidia xserver settings dialog
[20:13] <j0rb> EruditeOgre: i *think* the way i got through this last time was to compile a kernel without the skge driver and with the e1000 code either as a module or right into the kernel. plus possibly some other stuff that, who knows, it was like three years ago and ubuntu was a bit different then.
[20:13] <GeForce88> kassun, video card is geforce fx5200 128meg
[20:13] <kasun> it should display all the resolutions
[20:14] <GeForce88> kasun, it shows two
[20:14] <daedalus96> i am having issues with Karmic, I just updated from Jaunty. When i try to boot, it takes me to the screen with the with ubuntu logo, then just stops...
[20:14] <EruditeOgre> j0rb: that's one way to do it. :)
[20:14] <EruditeOgre> j0rb: still, seems a bit of a pain.
[20:14] <earthling_> which should I download 32 bit or 64 bit ubuntu? why is 32 bit "recommended for most users" on ubuntu.com ?  I have AMD athlon 64 X2 dual core processor
[20:14] <abhijit> bte guys :)
[20:14] <GeForce88> earthling, then use the 64 bit
[20:14] <abhijit> bye*
[20:15] <j0rb> EruditeOgre: yeah, definitely -- was hoping to avoid having to maintain a custom kernel across future upgrades.
[20:15] <earthling_> GeForce88, it will be faster for me?
[20:15] <GeForce88> i use 64 bit 10.04 on my laptop and love it
[20:15] <kasun> GeForce88, I got geforce 9200 and it displays max of 1280x800
[20:15] <EruditeOgre> j0rb: what is dmesg saying when you modprobe -a e1000?
[20:15] <kasun> umm, can't see what's the problem here
[20:16] <GeForce88> earthling, people debate which is fater, but in my honest opinion, only a certain program will benefit from 64 bit. not so much the kernel
[20:16] <daedalus96> i am having issues with Karmic, I just updated from Jaunty. When i try to boot, it takes me to the screen with the with ubuntu logo, then just stops...
[20:16] <korst3n> Hello, how do I put my m4r ringtone into my iPhone at ubuntu? I've put the file at itunes_control\ringtones folder and edited the ringtones.plist file but the new ringtone is still not there
[20:16] <Maximenko>  /close
[20:16] <GeForce88> kasun, i have a geforce 8800 512 that works fine, but this main board doesn't have a pci-e slot
[20:17] <j0rb> EruditeOgre: just prints the driver identifier stuff -- "Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver - version xxx", etc.  when i modprobe -r skge, i do get a lot of activity around disabling eth0, but nothing equivalent when loading e1000.
[20:17] <EruditeOgre> j0rb: Well, sadly, you've maxxed out my limited knowledge when it comes to linux/ubuntu. Not sure why it's doing this to you or how to go about fixing it.
[20:18] <naxil> some people can help me with grub (come in query)
[20:18] <j0rb> EruditeOgre: well you've been a champ -- thanks! :)
[20:18] <kasun> GeForce88, may be this would solve the issue? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1292200
[20:18] <EruditeOgre> All I can think is that you have to figure out why Ubuntu associated your chipset with skge and get it to change that association
[20:18] <mataks> help please.. how to connect to network using samba?
[20:19] <EruditeOgre> But I have no clue what stage of boot associates drivers with hardware.
[20:19] <saymoo> mataks: explain more
[20:19] <saymoo> e.g. domain join? file share browsing? or backup domain (bdc)?
[20:19] <saymoo> etc
[20:19] <kasun> hmm, looks like no help in i
[20:19] <kasun> *it
[20:20] <Redcl0ud> my processor is a single core so why does ubuntu has a processor 0 and a processor 1 when I open up system monitor?
[20:20] <j0rb> EruditeOgre: yeah, i remember that being part of the fix last time, just can't remember what voodoo was required, and since the module files seem to have changed a bit since then, i'm not even sure the old fix would be relevant anymore
[20:20] <mataks> saymoo,  i want to connect to my window folder to get some shared files. however i can't see the shared folder in my network here in ubuntu
[20:20] <GeForce88> kasun, that thread was a problem, with no solution , only to go back to windoez
[20:20] <saymoo> mataks: you configured the network adapter settings correctly? (as in both machines can ping eachother)
[20:21] <Dr_Willis> mataks:  sometimes i have to type in the full path to the share in the nautilus file manager 'address' bar. ie:  smb://servernameorIP/sharename
[20:21] <EruditeOgre> j0rb: yeah. They keep changing the boot system but then don't leave any documentation about how it works now.
[20:21] <Dr_Willis> mataks:  sometiomes i have to use the ip also. instead of the name
[20:21] <F4RR4R> Does anyone know of a usb-dvi adapter that works with Ubuntu?
[20:21] <shiftingcontrol> whenever i right click on a music file and select open with vlc it doesnot open
[20:21] <rww> Redcl0ud: Your processor probably uses hyperthreading
[20:21] <GeForce88> kasun, i will manually set the resolution in my conf once the dist upgrade is complete
[20:22] <shiftingcontrol> if i give vlc in terminal it doesn't open
[20:22] <Redcl0ud> rww, yes it has hyperthreading just didn't figure it would show up like that
[20:22] <shiftingcontrol> can anyone help me out?
[20:22] <mataks> saymoo, Dr_Willis : i have no idea how to do that.. im just new to ubuntu. but before when i fresh install the samba.. all works fine.. i can access any file from my network.. but now i want to share some file again i cant see any in my network.. maybe i'ts not configured to start up on boot?
[20:22] <rww> Redcl0ud: Yup. I have one too, shows up as two processors for me.
[20:22] <Dr_Willis> shiftingcontrol:  it gives no error messages at all from terminal>?
[20:22] <rww> or cores, at least
[20:22] <jmagder> The bandwidth meter and output of ifcofig seems to be limited to 4GB
[20:23] <shiftingcontrol> Dr_Willis:VLC media player 1.1.1 The Luggage (revision exported)
[20:23] <shiftingcontrol> vlc: unknown option or missing mandatory argument `--user-agent="VLC media player"'
[20:23] <shiftingcontrol> Try `vlc --help' for more information.
[20:23] <Dr_Willis> mataks:  in the nautilus address bar you hit ctrl-l to enter a path.. and you type it in.
[20:23] <Redcl0ud> rww, so much for me to learn and my hardware support class left out alot of stuff
[20:23] <jmagder> Is there a way of working around this 32 bit limit?
[20:23] <luis_> hello channel, i have an issue hopefully some can help me out today.
[20:23] <kasun> GeForce88, yeah, i saw that. looks like fx5200 driver for ubuntu has some problems/compatibility issues. manually setting the resolution could be harmful if your driver doesn't support that. but it's worth a shot!
[20:23] <jmagder> I need this information to work around annoying bandwidth limits.
[20:24] <Dr_Willis> shiftingcontrol:  has vlc ever worked on that system>? try a different user. It could be your vlc configs are messed up
[20:24] <GeForce88> kasun, i'm sure the card (which supports the resolution in windoez) supports 1024x768
[20:24] <kasun> GeForce88, and the article says you can go upto 800x600 without the driver.
[20:24] <shiftingcontrol> yea it s been workin for around past 2 mnths
[20:24] <GeForce88> kasun, then i lose my compiz. which is the reason i'm fighting to make it work
[20:25] <shiftingcontrol> i tried to remove using ubuntu software centre it should me waiting for process tovquit
[20:25] <Dr_Willis> shiftingcontrol:  make a new user see if it works for them. or perhaps just clean out your old vlc configs/settings
[20:25] <kasun> GeForce88, yes, but what if driver have some problemsand can't render graphics beyond the given value?
[20:25] <luis_> i currently run 10.04 and installed on a lenovo U350. my issue is that when i plug in some head phones into the jack i get no audio, and the internal speakers continue to play
[20:25] <kasun> GeForce88, ha ha... yeah. compiz is damn good! :)
[20:26] <mataks> Dr_Willis, is there any other way? like just before all i have to do is just click browser network location in Places
[20:26] <Dr_Willis> mataks:  see if typing in the address works.. if it dosent.. then you may have other issues
[20:26] <wiesshund> compiz still crash alot?
[20:26] <orsh> hi to all.I have some problem with my Ati radeon x1300/x1550,puted new Ubuntu 10.04 now my desktop effects dosent work,can someone help me about how to fix this
[20:26] <luis_> not for me wiesshund
[20:26] <kasun> GeForce88, aren't there other versions of the driver available? if so try another one. I have too driver versions listed.
[20:27] <kasun> s/too/two/
[20:27] <Dr_Willis> mataks:  i normally type in the address then bookmark the location. i never have to  bother  with the network location/browser thing again
[20:27] <mataks> Dr_Willis, i don't know what address i will type :(..all i know is i want to access the folder DC
[20:27] <Dr_Willis> mataks:  do you even see the pc listed at all?
[20:27] <GeForce88> kasun yea, ubuntu installed 173, i'll try the 95 once i get finished updateing
[20:27] <FNi> New user trying to figure out why sometimes Ubuntu fails to boot (black screen after kernel select) and other times the wifi doesn't initialize. Is there some type of boot log which records these problems?
[20:27] <Dr_Willis> mataks:  from the command line the  commands 'smbtree' and 'findsmb' can also give you some clues as to what servers/shares are on the network
[20:28] <orsh> hi to all.I have some problem with my Ati radeon x1300/x1550,puted new Ubuntu 10.04 now my desktop effects dosent work,can someone help me about how to fix this pls?
[20:28] <mataks> Dr_Willis, there's no shared folder when i type in findsmb..
[20:28] <wiesshund> orsh>>  did you try turning them off then on again?
[20:29] <orsh> wesshund how can i try that,i am new in linux
[20:29] <wiesshund> orsh>>  also is the card a 1300 or 1550 ?
[20:30] <Dr_Willis> mataks:  it does see the server then?
[20:30] <mataks> Dr_Willis, no
[20:30] <Dr_Willis> mataks:  try smbtree
[20:30] <slidinghorn> orsh, in your menu:   System > Preferences > Appearance --  then click the visual effects tab
[20:30] <newbie-cro> ok I have some questions regarding a yesterday upgraded Ubuntu 10.04 lucid lynx
[20:30] <orsh> wiesshund http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/arQpF7K0
[20:30] <mataks> Dr_Willis, nothing happens.  it just ask for password
[20:31] <Dr_Willis> mataks:  that is somthing happening.. :)  enter your password.
[20:31] <newbie-cro> so If someon hav 5 minutes to give me advice
[20:31] <wiesshund> mataks>>  are you accessing a win 7 smb share?
[20:31] <slidinghorn> !ask | newbie-cro - :)
[20:31] <mataks> Dr_Willis, after i type my password nothing happpens
[20:31] <kasun> orsh, first install the driver from system->administration->hardware drivers
[20:31] <cwill747> 3~
[20:31] <mataks> wiesshund, no. windows xp
[20:31] <EvilPhoenix> newbie-cro:  ask your question instead of being cryptic and roundabout iwth your question.
[20:31] <korst3n> Hello, how do I put my m4r ringtone into my iPhone at ubuntu? I've put the file at itunes_control\ringtones folder and edited the ringtones.plist file but the new ringtone is still not there
[20:32] <orsh> kasun then i can get any drivers
[20:32] <wiesshund> mataks>>  Windows Live sign-in assistant doesnt happen to be installe don XP does it?
[20:32] <orsh> kasun ther i cant get any drivers to download
[20:33] <kasun> orsh, what's the error you get?
[20:33] <Dr_Willis> mataks:  can you even ping the server by its ip# ?
[20:33] <mataks> wiesshund,  i have successfully network this 2 pc before .. but now i can't seem to get it work
[20:33] <mataks> Dr_Willis, how to ping servers ip?
[20:33] <orsh> kasun i dont get eny result of searching drivers in hardver drivers
[20:33] <Dr_Willis> mataks:  ping ip.###.###.###
[20:33] <Hilikus> if i have a file with 2 hard links and burn them to a dvd. will they become 2 separate nodes or the dvd FS is smart enough?
[20:33] <wiesshund> mataks>>  that part of windowsLIVE breaks smb, might be worth checking
[20:34] <Dr_Willis> Hilikus:  i think they would become 2 seperate files.
[20:34] <orsh> kasun even if in top it says that i dont have properly installed drivers
[20:34] <ryan_languagelab> greetings all! I am using Xubuntu but for some reason the system identifies itself as Ubuntu. I've been using the system for a while but how can I clean up the menus so it is more Xubuntu-like than Ubuntu-like (trying my best to explain what I'm seeing)
[20:34] <mataks> Dr_Willis, how to know the servers ip?
[20:35] <hiexpo> ping yahoo etc
[20:35] <shiftingcontrol> i deleted /var/lib/dpkg/ what should i do get the contents back ?
[20:35] <saymoo> well not exactly: ping yahoo doesn´t resolve
[20:35] <saymoo> ping ww.yahoo.com does
[20:35] <saymoo> ;)
[20:35] <orsh> kasu do u have experience why it dosent show the properly drivers to install
[20:35] <saymoo> if setup correctly
[20:35] <doors> any advice or links on how to install ubuntu so that you just get a minimal system, and then pull stuff in from there through apt-get?
[20:35] <cutiyar> why video dont work in empathy?
[20:35] <hiexpo> saymoo,  yes was just giving an example
[20:36] <kasun> orsh, then drivers may not available on ubuntu repos. Try google for linux drivers for your graphics card. I found this: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Legacy/Pages/radeonaiw_xp.aspx
[20:36] <shiftingcontrol> can anyone help me out ?
[20:36] <saymoo> hiexpo: i know, but since matak is not computer savvy, it would (imho) be better to give complete command examples
[20:37] <kasun> orsh, make sure it's the right thing for you!
[20:37] <orsh> kasun i alredy downloaded ,but this package is for red hat and suse
[20:37] <cutiyar_> why video call does not work on empathy?
[20:37] <newbie-cro> OK thanks, so yesterday i upgraded from 9.10 (Karmic) to 10.04 and OS works fine, BUT when I try to Install ANY kind of software from Ubuntu Software Sources i got message: "The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources." and when I click OK NOTHING HAPPENS. Please help!
[20:37] <cutiyar_> or camera?
[20:38] <orsh> kasun how can i install it run file in ubuntu,is it posible
[20:38] <kasun> orsh, dnt know about redhat, is it a .rpm file you got?
[20:38] <slidinghorn> orsh, what is the filename?
[20:39] <Drak> how to configure the speed of my scroll wheel mouse in gnome or google chrome?

[20:41] <slidinghorn> newbie-cro, what exactly have you tried to install that brought this error?
[20:41] <ZykoticK9> cutiyar_, for msn check out amsn it has pretty good video support (but not audio + video last i checked).  I have no ideas about yahoo.  Good luck man.

[20:42] <saymoo> ZykoticK9: hmm, i have used amsn a few years ago, and video + audio worked fine
[20:42] <mnbv0987> all right lets try this again...
[20:42] <saymoo> back then
[20:42] <shiftingcontrol> i deleted /var/lib/dpkg/ ,how t recover it
[20:42] <cutiyar_> ZykoticK9, its work with amsn but i want it with empathy or pidgin
[20:42] <ZykoticK9> saymoo, but not at the same time ;)
[20:42] <HarryS> >_< I was doing a distupgrade on a client's box, and apparentally they are stupid and didn't listen to me with "DO NOT TOUCH IT UNTIL I TELL YOU THAT YOU CAN", so they rebooted it without the install finishing. What do I do now?
[20:42] <saymoo> ZykoticK9: hmm, degrading development? :P
[20:43] <mnbv0987> i installed 64 bit ubuntu 10.04 using wubi on a 64bit windows 7 machine. i reboot into ubuntu and it says "verifying the installation configuration", then it fails with "no root file system is defined, please correct this from the partitioning menu". what should i do next?
[20:43] <mnbv0987> where is the partitioning menu?
[20:43] <Flannel> HarryS: What do you mean by "dist upgrade"? sudo apt-get dist-upgrade?
[20:43] <newbie-cro> I tried to install almost twenty diffrent types of software from tab :"provided by Ubuntu", I did not have that problem on older version
[20:43] <ZykoticK9> cutiyar_, saymoo i actually haven't touch msn in quite some time (don't use it myself), so really not too sure about empathy/amsn support at the moment ;)  Good luck.
[20:44] <HarryS> Flannel: do-release-upgrade or whatever it is

[20:44] <Darklord6229> Hey im trying to download adobe flash but i dotn know what verison to get any help?
[20:44] <Dr_Willis> Darklord6229:  use the package manager to install it.
[20:44] <Flannel> HarryS: Alright.  The first thing to do would be apt-get update/apt-get dist-upgrade, and see where you wind up.
[20:45] <HarryS> I'll try sudo dpkg --configure -a then
[20:45] <ZykoticK9> Dr_Willis, +1 for recommendation, Darklord6229
[20:45] <saymoo> ZykoticK9: i don´t use it anymore, i prefer irc, or skype (for video+audio) if needed.

[20:47] <FNi> thanks. I guess I'll download....putty then. :D

[20:48] <{g}> Hello Ubuntu People! How are you today? Im trying to install google-chrome on a minimal ubuntu machine that does not have ubuntu-desktop but openbox. I tried it via downloading the .deb file and installing it with "dpkg -i". That results in missing dependencies. Doesnt dpgk -i install dependencies? Do I have to add some parameter? Or use apt somehow?
[20:49] <Flannel> {g}: No, dpkg won't install dependencies.  gdebi will though.
[20:49] <linxeh> {g}: sudo apt-get install chromium-browser (if you dont mind using the opensource build)
[20:49] <Dr_Willis> {g}:  use sudo gdebi whatever.deb
[20:49] <Jordan_U> {g}: Run "sudo apt-get -f install" to get the needed dependencies.
[20:49] <ZykoticK9> cwill747, i'd try updating your system and see if that corrects the issue.  "sudo apt-get update" then "sudo apt-get upgrade", after finished restart and cross your fingers ;)  good luck.
[20:49] <HarryS> okay
[20:49] <cwill747> ZykoticK9: I could update my system if I could connect to the internet. Haha I tried that.
[20:50] <{g}> Jordan_U: i tried that. it removed google chrome again.
[20:50] <slidinghorn> newbie-cro, check out the link to the forum in my last post to you
[20:50] <HarryS> :[ why don't people listen to me though, I told her to not touch the box until I called back telling her that she could
[20:50] <{g}> linxeh: ok, will try that one
[20:50] <HarryS> and she reboots it, and it's bad now
[20:50] <HarryS> I think I am going to need to reinstall it
[20:51] <ZykoticK9> Dr_Willis, gdebi to the rescue ;)  which you informed me of yesterday i believe.
[20:51] <wiesshund> HarryS>>  charge her for her stupidity
[20:51] <Jordan_U> HarryS: Bad in what way?
[20:51] <HarryS> she'd just reinstall windows probably
[20:51] <korst3n> Hello, how do I put my m4r ringtone into my iPhone at ubuntu? I've put the file at itunes_control\ringtones folder and edited the ringtones.plist file but the new ringtone is still not there
[20:51] <slidinghorn> HarryS, what happens when you try to boot it back up?  (sorry if I'm making you repeat yourself, was greeting the pizza delivery girl)
[20:51] <HarryS> I don't know Jordan_U, she is just saying "it doesn't work anymore" though I can still ssh in fine
[20:51] <ikonia> korst3n: to be honest, itunes functionaity is best left to itunes on windows/mac
[20:52] <{g}> linxeh: I get "you requested an impossible situation"
[20:52] <slidinghorn> HarryS, if you can SSH into it, try running sudo apt-get update  and then sudo apt-get upgrade
[20:52] <{g}> linxeh: and "libxss1 is not installable" and other stuff.
[20:52] <HarryS> yeah doing now
[20:52] <Jordan_U> HarryS: Then tell her that it will eat her cat if she reboots it without you telling her to, then apt-get dist-upgrade.
[20:53] <korst3n> ikonia, yeah but i shouldn't have to install itunes just to have one ringtone right?
[20:53] <ikonia> korst3n: it's a propritary product, you may have to
[20:53] <{g}> linxeh: oh, after apt-get update it seems to work
[20:53] <wiesshund> korst3n>>  i believe Iphones only work via itunes for ring tones etc
[20:54] <psylostlife{rus}> hi2all
[20:54] <slidinghorn> !hi > psylostlife{rus}
[20:54] <HarryS> and she left me 3 messages and tells me "there is an error on the montor", but won't even tell me the exact error message :|
[20:54] <HarryS> sigh
[20:54] <wiesshund> korst3n>>  and as it was explained to me, only ones you buy off itunes.  i dont have one so cant confirm that part
[20:54] <ikonia> HarryS: we cant help
[20:54] <Jordan_U> slidinghorn: Havin ubottu PM people to say hi is a bit much, next time try "!hi | nick".
[20:55] <slidinghorn> Jordan_U, point taken
[20:55] <ikonia> HarryS: you'll have to support her
[20:55] <HarryS> I know.
[20:55] <wiesshund> HarryS>>  ive got a big big hammer here, need it?
[20:55] <korst3n> i guess i'll try running itunes over wine, thanks anyways
[20:55] <SSMiaka> hello, everyone!
[20:56] <hiexpo> korst3n,  good luck with that
[20:56] <SSMiaka> quick question: where can I find the drivers folder in lucid?
[20:56] <HarryS> I got errors with  nvidia-96 nvidia-glx-96 when doing dpkg --configure -a
[20:56] <SSMiaka> I can't seem to find it
[20:56] <ZykoticK9> korst3n, you'll most likely have to run a virtual machine (with USB) for proper itunes/iphone support.  hopefully i'm wrong.
[20:56] <HarryS> but it doesn't tell me WHAT it did wrong
[20:56] <Jordan_U> HarryS: She is really going to want to reboot if somthing is wrong, you may want to just tell her to leave the computer alone (go out to luch?) for at least an hour or two.
[20:56] <MoRpHeO> hello i am leandro
[20:56] <MoRpHeO> tell me hello
[20:56] <Jordan_U> HarryS: Can you pastebin the exact error message?

[20:57] <Dr_Willis> {g}:  i use gdebi. or that whatver -f  after installing it.
[20:58] <dade> Darklord are you needing itunes for an apple device?

[20:58] <Darklord6229> for my ipod but also because i like it for my media player

[20:58] <linxeh> {g}: yeah, always apt-get update before you start installing new packages if possible :)
[20:58] <dade> !ipod
[20:59] <hiexpo> or add deb repos

[21:00] <g0tcha> hey guys, does ubuntu have support for touchscreen taplet pcs?
[21:00] <earthling_> wiesshund, ok
[21:00] <slidinghorn> g0tcha, I believe so...I have a tablet toshiba that works
[21:00] <ikonia> g0tcha: some devices, yes
[21:01] <g0tcha> slidinghorn, running ubuntu 10.04 and it works comfortable with the touch screen tablet?
[21:01] <g0tcha> ikonia, hmm what do you mean 'some devices' ?
[21:01] <g0tcha> i thought if the device itself has the feature, it all depends on the OS
[21:02] <g0tcha> if it has the capability and the drivers/softwares for it
[21:02] <slidinghorn> g0tcha, yeah -- as ikonia said though, it's dependent on the device (i.e. some work, others may not)
[21:02] <ikonia> g0tcha: I mean some touch screens are supported, some are not
[21:02] <g0tcha> ah
[21:02] <ZykoticK9> g0tcha, "it all depends on the... device manufacturer" ;)
[21:02] <g0tcha> hmm i didnt think of that
[21:02] <g0tcha> is there a way to find out?
[21:02] <ikonia> read the hardware compatability matrix
[21:02] <slidinghorn> g0tcha, run it on a livecd and try
[21:03] <saymoo> hmm someone uses irc running as root...
[21:03] <saymoo> :P
[21:03]  * saymoo points to Henrique
[21:03] <ikonia> saymoo: it's just an ident, doesnt mean they are running as root
[21:03] <HarryS> I thought root ident was kicked from here
[21:03] <g0tcha> slidinghorn, hmm just pop in the livecd and if its support it should work from there?
[21:03] <wiesshund> saymoo>>  me
[21:03] <g0tcha> ikonia, i dont really know how to do that :/
[21:03] <g0tcha> or know what you mean to begin with
[21:04] <saymoo> most irc progs use the current user for ident
[21:04] <saymoo> by defaul
[21:04] <saymoo> t
[21:04] <Drak> how to configure the speed of my scroll wheel mouse in gnome or google chrome?
[21:04] <ikonia> g0tcha: saymoo does it matter ?
[21:04] <Drak> please?
[21:04] <ikonia> no
[21:04] <ikonia> g0tcha: sorry, that was for saymoo
[21:04] <g0tcha> lol ok .. i was wondering at first what does saymoo stands for heheh
[21:04] <wiesshund> saymoo>>  ive an embedded linux i use sometimes, and unfortunately everything on it is done as root, you should see it get klined lol
[21:05] <saymoo> it´s a bad habbit, if he/she is indeed running as root, so better point to it
[21:05] <saymoo> :)
[21:05] <ikonia> saymoo: it's their own business
[21:05] <saymoo> i disagree, since there are many beginners here, side information is always good, to point out
[21:05] <HarryS> ikonia: not really, some users don't understand the concepts of account security and WHY you should not run everthing as root.
[21:06] <HarryS> if they are aware, so be it, but most are not aware.
[21:06] <ikonia> HarryS: if they are a beginner they would not know how to unlock the root account on ubuntu
[21:06] <ikonia> if they are smart enough to unlock the root account, they should know what they are doing
[21:06] <carnation232> i did a get apt-get --purge remove nvidia-* then sudo sh NVIDIA* tnow when i restart my cpu it says 90.1khz/84.7khz frequencey out of range, and it wont let me log into the os at all any ideas?
[21:06] <saymoo> ikonia: again, i disagree, many people, know the trick for the root password
[21:06] <HarryS> lol, when I first used Ubuntu, sudo was the first command I learned, and I prefixed it on EVERYTHING until I realized I was being bad with it.
[21:06] <ikonia> saymoo: then they are on their own
[21:06] <Gnea> saymoo: how can you be sure they're really running as root? I could easily make it so my root account isn't really an administrator anymore and run irc that way and you'd never know the difference.
[21:07] <zimmaphp> hi all newbie here. just installed desktop ubuntu 10.4 never used it before. wanted to install php 5.3 don't know how to do that or 5.2+ can someone guide me in right direction?

[21:07] <saymoo> Gnea: read up
[21:07] <Flannel> zimmaphp: Do you want it running through apache?  or just as a standalone PHP installation?
[21:07] <Gnea> saymoo: read up yourself.
[21:07] <ikonia> ok enough now
[21:07] <ikonia> the comment has been made
[21:07] <edbian> zimmaphp, yes!  Use the php package in the repos.  sudo apt-get install php
[21:07] <zimmaphp> standalone for now
[21:08] <V0r34uS> hi

[21:09] <carnation232> any 1 know why my cpu gets stuck with the freguency out or range error?
[21:09] <wiesshund> Gnea>>  in all fairness, how many people actualy strip root and then use it as a user? :)
[21:09] <zimmaphp> I read somewhere on the net that php 5.3 is not avail for ubuntu?
[21:09] <carnation232> wel how to fix it
[21:09] <Gnea> wiesshund: how many people would admit to it? :)
[21:09] <LjL> zimmaphp: nonsense.
[21:10] <chrissharp123> shiftingcontrol: do you have synaptic or another installation program running?
[21:10] <wiesshund> Gnea>>  probably only me
[21:10] <zimmaphp> Flannel I'm new at this is that at command (terminal)?
[21:10] <dade> zimmaphp, not true im running it my self PHP Version 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.2
[21:10] <ikonia> !software > zimmaphp
[21:11] <shiftingcontrol> chrissharp123:synaptic is throwing that error
[21:11] <Flannel> zimmaphp: Yeah.  Or if you would like to do it graphically, you can use Synaptic to do it, instructions for that are here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto  (you're looking for the php5-cli package)
[21:11] <hangfire> What groups does a user need to be in to use cron? I'm finding that my user's scripts aren't being run (from an ok crontab)
[21:11] <chrissharp123> shiftingcontrol: so is there anything else running, like Ubuntu software Center or aptitude?
[21:11] <V0r34uS> Someone knows the shortcut's keyboard to minimize/maximize a window ?
[21:11] <Flannel> hangfire: How many lines do you have in your crontab?
[21:11] <shiftingcontrol> chrissharp123:nope
[21:11] <hangfire> Flannel: 7 or so
[21:11] <hangfire> Flannel: + comments
[21:12] <chrissharp123> shiftingcontrol: you can manually remove the lockfile if you're sure
[21:12] <dade> Shiftg: sytnaptic package manager?
[21:12] <saymoo> Gnea: anyway, if you read up the messages, you would have read, that i said: ¨if they are running root¨ condition..so we cannot know for sure.. but nevertheless, giving a notice won´t hurt, since others could be informed too (¨ooh, i´m root now, thatś bad? geez i didn´t know.. handy to know..¨) kind of pass on..
[21:12] <saymoo> :)
[21:12] <mneptok> saymoo: please let the subject drop
[21:12] <dade> saymoo: i agree running as root is unessicary extra layer of fail
[21:12] <Stefanos90>  re
[21:13] <Stefanos90> soz
[21:13] <Gnea> saymoo: yeah, saw all that.
[21:13] <shiftingcontrol> chrissharp123:yea,i m facing every tym i run synaptic for s/w installation
[21:14] <dade> shift you cant have synaptica package manager, updater, or software center open a the same time... its a safety thing
[21:14] <chrissharp123> shiftingcontrol: when this happens, are you manually rm-ing the lockfile?
[21:14] <shiftingcontrol> chrissharp123:yea
[21:14] <BigC> How can I enable totem to play videos from youtube from the side bar. When I search for a video, it pops up saying "Could not open location; you might not have permission to open the file."
[21:15] <shiftingcontrol> have anyone tried hadoop here ?
[21:15] <chrissharp123> shiftingcontrol: do you only use synaptic? or do you use apt-get, aptitude, or Ubuntu Software Center as well?
[21:15] <shiftingcontrol> chrissharp123:i use all those
[21:15] <Flannel> hangfire: I don't believe you have to be in any particular group for cron.  Can you pastebin your crontab?
[21:16] <chrissharp123> shiftingcontrol: that error will happen if you have not closed out of another APT-based program - sounds like you're trying to run more than one at the same time
[21:16] <Number5_> Hello guys, I got a situation here, my HD is full now I can't even delete files to make some space free. What tools to use, or what to do?

[21:16] <chendry> What's the best way to have centralized users on 10 or so servers?  Should I install / configure openldap manually, or are there turn-key solutions (webmin?  ebox?) that I could use?
[21:16] <Number5_> chrissharp123, is that the only solution??
[21:16] <hangfire> Flannel: let me try a cut-down one first. I'm seeing no errors in syslog though :(
[21:16] <Jordan_U> shiftingcontrol: Sorry, meant that to be /lastlog :)
[21:16] <mneptok> Number5_: you should be able to delete files with sudo, as most filesystems reserve blocks for root's use
[21:17] <chrissharp123> Number5_: maybe not the only, but probably the best :-)
[21:17] <randy_> chendry: for the most part, you're gonna have to learn some stuff ...
[21:17] <Flannel> Number5_: reboot to the recovery console (choose it at GRUB) and then you can prune things.  `apt-get autoclean` is a good start
[21:17] <randy_> chendry: i would say that ldap is the way to go, though
[21:17] <randy_> chendry: but, don't worry, there has been a *lot* of work done on making user administration much easier than LDAP by itself...
[21:17] <Number5_> chrissharp123, mneptok, Flannel, thnx
[21:18] <chrissharp123> shiftingcontrol: try running synaptic from the command line for a while & see if there are any obvious errors
[21:18] <Jordan_U> shiftingcontrol: What is the output of "sudo fuser /var/cache/apt/archives/lock" ?
[21:18] <randy_> chendry: you can start here https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/network-authentication.html
[21:18] <chendry> randy_: yeah, i've been playing with it and saw the ldapscripts package, that seems to help a lot.  However, getting the LDAP server up and running seems difficultish
[21:18] <BigC> how do I force a ubuntu installation with a computer that has under 256 MB of ram
[21:18] <scoopex> how can i get a list of pending security updates on commandline? is there a query using apt-get/aptitude?
[21:19] <io> chendry: There are guides that can be followed with example setups, I'm sure that will help.
[21:19] <hangfire> BigC: do a server install, then only install what you need
[21:19] <Jordan_U> !alternate | BigC
[21:19] <wiesshund> BigC>>  im not sure it will actualy run
[21:19] <hangfire> BigC: (there are probably boot options too)
[21:19] <chrissharp123> !alternate | BigC
[21:19] <hangfire> BigC: 256MB is piles, btw
[21:19] <io> chendry: Did you take a look at the wiki page already?
[21:19] <shiftingcontrol> Jordan_U:/var/cache/apt/archives/lock:  5436
[21:19] <shiftingcontrol>  is the o/p
[21:20] <chendry> i just worry a bit about all of the cut-and-paste I have to do.  I don't like to cut-and-paste unless I understand exactly what I'm doing.  I think I just need to read over the documentation a bit more
[21:20] <wiesshund> under 245mb id probably run puppy
[21:20] <BigC> yes I know but still I will try, actually the computer has 96 MB of ram
[21:20] <dbugger> Hey guys. Is there a way to get create a screenshot from a video using the shell?
[21:20] <Jordan_U> shiftingcontrol: And what is the output of "ps aux | grep 5436"?
[21:20] <io> !ldap | chendry
[21:20] <chrissharp123> BigC: +1 what wiesshund says  - Lucid Puppy is based on Ubuntu
[21:20] <io> chendry: Take a look at that, it could help.
[21:20] <hangfire> dbugger: do you know the frame number?
[21:21] <randy_> chendry: there's also this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LDAPClientAuthentication
[21:21] <hangfire> dbugger: scrot
[21:21] <wiesshund> Puppy does well on very low end hardware
[21:21] <hangfire> dbugger: I'd use mplayer -screenshot though
[21:21] <dbugger> hangfire, since I dont know the number of frames, i was thinking of making it one from the middle.
[21:21] <zimmaphp> thank you all that helped me.

[21:21] <dbugger> hangfire, How does it work
[21:22] <Broken> any way to chain load a kernel from another kernel with a kext?
[21:22] <randy_> chendry: reluctantly, OpenLDAP can be a bear to figure out initially... if you're really serious about getting it working, though, and the number of users you expect to have warrants it, you should look into reading one of the very fine manuals on OpenLDAP
[21:22] <Broken> or
[21:22] <Broken> any way to force load uboot from a kext?
[21:22] <Jordan_U> Broken: What is your actual end goal?
[21:22] <chendry> io: i'm going to give those all a good read and play around with it some more.  Thanks much!
[21:22] <Broken> or is this the wrong place to ask?
[21:23] <randy_> chendry: regardless, once the database in LDAP is set up correctly, its relatively easy to get it working on all the servers you want to be performing the authentication
[21:23] <dbugger> hangfire, ah no! I dont want to open the videos. People submit videos to me, and I want them to have a screenshot to represent them.
[21:23] <Broken> Jordan_U, pm?
[21:23] <io> chendry: No problem, ask here if you need further help during that.
[21:23] <hangfire> Flannel: yes, looks like it's a bad(?) crontab - I'll just have to test it line by line. Thanks for the hint (I thought that there was a parsing run when you edit them ..?)
[21:23] <Jordan_U> Broken: Is there a reason you don't want to keep it in channel?
[21:23] <Broken> a little...
[21:24] <UberN00b> guys what do you think if ironkey flash drives for secure data transmission/storage ?
[21:24] <Jordan_U> Broken: Ok, then you may PM me.
[21:24] <randy_> chendry: just, **make sure** you have a backup on ea. of your servers in case the LDAP server goes down for whatever reason.  i'm referring to (1) account that has admin access
[21:24] <revarr> I have an acer aspire 5740 to fix a bug I am going to update my laptops BIOS.  anyone see anything bad about this?
[21:24] <scoopex> how can i get a list of pending security updates on commandline? is there a query using apt-get/aptitude?
[21:24] <scoopex> oops
[21:24] <BigC> Also, How can I enable totem to play videos from youtube from the side bar. When I search for a video, it pops up saying "Could not open location; you might not have permission to open the file."
[21:24] <hangfire> UberN00b: it uses CBC, which isn't secure. Encrypt the contents of a regular usb key yourself ;)
[21:25] <chrissharp123> shiftingcontrol: looks like you're trying to open synaptic with synaptic already running....
[21:25] <hangfire> UberN00b: wait, I'm mixing CBC and ECB up
[21:25] <chendry> randy_: so like a root account that can authenticate from /etc/passwd if LDAP dies?
[21:25] <hangfire> UberN00b: it should be fine for most purposes
[21:25] <randy_> chendry: yes, exactly!
[21:26] <randy_> chendry: and, be *careful* when you edit /etc/nsswitch.conf, any mistakes can make your system unbootable...
[21:26] <UberN00b> hangfire, give me a second to google cbc and ecb :D but ... when you say encrypt it yourself, do you mean certain software in mind or just ...erm ms office encryption + pass for access ?
[21:27] <hangfire> UberN00b: um, no. Use a rarfile w. password. They have quite good security
[21:27] <revarr> anyone also have an acer aspire 5740 and upgraded their BIOS
[21:27] <io> !anyone | revarr
[21:27] <UberN00b> hangfire, thanks a bunch :)
[21:27] <Flannel> hangfire: No, there isn't.  But one thing to be aware of is that the last line you have in there that you want to run needs a newline at the end of it (so I always hit enter twice and stick a comment down there about that comment needing to be last)
[21:28] <randy_> chendry: once you've got everything working, though, it should be a remarkably trivial and easy task to add/remove/edit users across the network.  a lot of work now, to save yourself work later, right?  should be worth it ;)
[21:28] <hangfire> Flannel: there is in gentoo :P
[21:28] <hangfire> Flannel: thanks man
[21:28] <revarr> ahh sorry
[21:28] <jtravnick65> revarr, what is the bug that your trying to fix by updating your bios?
[21:29] <chendry> randy_: indeed!  my eventual goal is to get all this down so that puppet can rebuild everything from scratch.  I can't wait for that day
[21:29] <hangfire> UberN00b: That's an easy, cross-system compatible approach. For better security, encrypt the partition (use truecrypt)
[21:29] <revarr> the brightness is not controlable via hotkeys, powermanagement, anything
[21:30] <hangfire> revarr: is there a screen brightness file in /proc/acpi ?
[21:30] <chendry> randy_: but, in general, is the process: figure out the minimal ldif you need to initially populate the database, run the ldif against a fresh openldap install, configure ldapscripts, and then use ldapscripts to add groups / users?
[21:31] <revarr> hangfire: I see a power_resorce file but nothing more.  Also Ubuntu is not picking up the acpi wmi
[21:32] <hangfire> revarr: Screen brightness control is going to be controlled through ACPI.
[21:32] <UberN00b> hangfire i assume it would take a while to explain me how to encrypt a partition, so may i ask for a link to a howto or something ?
[21:32] <hangfire> UberN00b: Truecrypt has a wizard :)
[21:32] <UberN00b> hangfire, thanks :)
[21:33] <revarr> yes there are troubles with the acpi
[21:33] <UberN00b> hangfire nice, it even passes my first look test - its free :D
[21:33] <randy_> chendry: that sounds about right.  unless you're doing fancy stuff with your ldap directory, the standard scema for unix users should be more than enough.  right now, i can't remember exactly what scemas you will need, but, the good thing about ldap is you can do more than just unix login with it.  you can also make it act as the e-mail addressbook, etc.....
[21:34] <edbian> UberN00b, All of gnu/Linux is free :)
[21:34] <revarr> hangfire: I have installed Ubuntu a few times and this is the common issue between the hardwarre and software I guess?  I'm not the most versed at this
[21:34] <hangfire> edbian: there are many programs which can be installed which are not.
[21:35] <chendry> randy_: great - well, I think i'm on the right track then.  Thank you very much for your help!
[21:35] <edbian> hangfire, Free as in beer, I am aware that there is software that is not free as in freedom :)
[21:35] <hangfire> revarr: you will need to get acpi working to get brightness control. Take a look at settings in BIOS / search for your motherboard id online for a guide
[21:35] <hangfire> edbian: no, I meant programs that you pay for.
[21:35] <edbian> hangfire, There are things in the repos that you must pay for?
[21:35] <randy_> chendry: oh, and, here is a little know ldap editor i found to work very very well: http://directory.apache.org/studio/
[21:35] <hangfire> edbian: (not in the repos)
[21:36] <edbian> hangfire, ahh, ok thanks :)  I think we're on the same page now
[21:36] <revarr> hangfire: I have tried.  The current solution seems to be a patch along with adding acpi_osi="Linux" to the kernel loader
[21:36] <revarr> but the patch doesn't work
[21:36] <hangfire> edbian: piles of scientific / engineering tools have linux clients (because they just go faster :P )
[21:36] <revarr> hangfire: also said patch mentioned updating the bios
[21:36] <hangfire> revarr: then do so :)
[21:37] <randy_> chendry: subsequently, that ldap editor can be setup to also make changes to the LDAP server's new config system...
[21:37] <revarr> trying
[21:38] <hangfire> revarr: when you're updating bios, yoda says "do or do not, ... " :)
[21:38] <revarr> hangfire: but when I follow the steps to set up an iso of FreeDOS all the files for my BIOS update do not copy
[21:38] <revarr> hangfire: because it states that the temp directory I created and mounted is out of memory
[21:38] <hangfire> revarr: What medium are you using? a USB key?
[21:38] <revarr> trying to
[21:39] <revarr> hangfire: trying to.  Though I have tried a CD as well
[21:39] <revarr> hangfire: both times the files refused to copy
[21:39] <hangfire> revarr: When do you get the OOM error?
[21:39] <duffydack> id rather wipe my system and install windows just to run a bios update than trust any dos program.. but thats just me...
[21:39] <hangfire> revarr: How are you creating the bootable usb key ?
[21:40] <revarr> hangfire: when I try to copy my files from where I have them to the temporary directory I have mounted
[21:40] <HarryS> I upgraded to 10.04, and somehow apache2 got installed. I try apt-get removing it, and it says no package exists, but it's running right now.. www-data  1893  0.0  0.1  22284  3584 ?        S    16:25   0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
[21:40] <hangfire> duffydack: actually, general wisdom says that you shouldn't trust windows-based flashers :)
[21:40] <HarryS> What to do?
[21:40] <hangfire> duffydack: freedos is a pretty solid environment
[21:40] <hangfire> revarr: Are you following a guide? (link)
[21:40] <duffydack> hangfire, I`ll trust the flashers for my dell, not let me down yet..
[21:40] <jukebox-zero> has anyone here done any dual-booting with Mint Isadora & Lucid?
[21:41] <hangfire> duffydack: dell once cost me a dvd burner :-/
[21:41] <revarr> hangfire: yes I am a second.  Also it seems FreeDOS doesn't load correctly I beleive
[21:41] <duffydack> hangfire, I get a replacement laptop if i even sneeze on it :)
[21:42] <revarr> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=318789
[21:42] <hangfire> revarr: If you're not already using it, use 'unetbootin' to create the live-USB
[21:42] <revarr> hangfire: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=318789.  I did use Unetbootin for FreeDOS and I added the update on the USB as well
[21:42] <jukebox-zero> Now when I boot grub 2 exits to recovery after saying there is no such partition, so I gotta use the super grub boot disk which loads Lucid just fine but doesn't find my Isadora install, which I can mount once lucid is running and looks fine, but this isn't the first grub issue I've had since installing lucid. Wondered if anyone else had grub issues with lucid?
[21:42] <duffydack> revarr, personally for isos I use http://psychoticspoon.blogspot.com/2009/01/booting-multiple-livecds-from-single.html ..  just cat the iso, simple.
[21:43] <revarr> hangfire: I will try this method
[21:44] <hangfire> revarr: which method are you using? M3 looks pretty easy to arrange
[21:44] <jukebox-zero> This is also the first time I updated-dist rather than a fresh install migrated from 9.07 to Lucid.
[21:45] <hangfire> revarr: actually scratch that - M3 doesnt' work with grub-2
[21:45] <revarr> ohh
[21:45] <barfster> How can I make this not busy? # umount /dev/hdc1
[21:45] <barfster> umount: /var/www: device is busy
[21:46] <revarr> hangfire: this OS is nice but some of this issues are just weird
[21:46] <barfster> I did /etc/apache2 stop
[21:46] <hangfire> barfster: `lsof | grep <mountpoint>` - then stop whatever is using the mount point
[21:46] <revarr> hangfire: I tried to step back to 9.10 but that is a black screen with the live CD.  Seems like something is wrong every time I try on this comp
[21:47] <hangfire> revarr: well, updating bios is traditionally a pain in linux :(
[21:47] <hangfire> revarr: What kind of file is the BIOS update in?
[21:47] <cesc_> hi there... does anyone know a way to stop web advertising. I'm sick of it. It makes loading web sites slow. In windows I used to edit the host file. Which solution for ubuntu?
[21:48] <brontoeee> how do i make thumbnails appear for avi, mp4 and other files in nautilus?
[21:48] <hangfire> cesc_: 1./ don't - ads keep the web alive. 2./ adblock
[21:48] <jukebox-zero> ... well hell. Guess I'll grab grub2 from the debian sid repo and see if that fixes it. It's fixed issues for me before in karmic.

[21:51] <revarr> hangfire:  bat files and exe files I'm just saying in general.  saying I'm out of memory when I'm not
[21:52] <randomguy> In 9.10 I cannot access any network as non-root. Not in gnome ($ firefox) nor on tty ($ ping). As root it works in gnome (e.g. sudo firefox) and tty (sudo ping). In the gnome user admin program, I checked all boxes including networking permissions for the ubuntu user. Still they can't connect. Any clue? Is this possibly related to kernel .config option that prohibits non-root network usage ?
[21:52] <NginUS> cesc_ : open an account with opendns & set up filtering
