[08:44] <jmarsden> SharpRain: One creates a virtual machine, the other just... creates a new user :)  Totally different things.
[08:44] <SharpRain> Yes, but usually a new user can't alter much
[08:44] <sk8rlife125> i would use virtual machine
[08:44] <ActionParsnip> brijith: that link says the video is VIA UniChrome Pro, not nvidia
[08:44] <sk8rlife125> cause anything u do there shouldnt effect ur current install
[08:44] <turneralex_> ahhhh wtf "java.io.IOException: Cannot allocate memory
[08:44] <turneralex_> "
[08:44] <SharpRain> I'm creating one now to experiment with the console - should it be unprivileged or 'desktop user'?
[08:44] <ActionParsnip> brijith: if you have nstalled an nvidia fx card in the system then the link is useless
[08:45] <sn1per>   i would buy/build a crap computer there we go
[08:45] <sk8rlife125> im still a noob soz i have no clue srry guy
[08:45] <ActionParsnip> sk8rlife125: as you use the system you will learn
[08:45] <zruty> How can I check a single file for corruption?
[08:45] <brijith> ActionParsnip: what you think is there driver that supports VIA UniChrome Pro,
[08:46] <jmarsden> SharpRain: ?  How are you creating the user?  Just sudo useradd -m fred     # to create a new user named fred
[08:46] <SharpRain> No, using the user GUI in ubuntu
[08:46] <ActionParsnip> brijith: there is, the chrome driver is part of the very bloated nstall of ubuntu
[08:46] <SharpRain> brb
[08:46] <ActionParsnip> SharpRain: theres a user admin tool in administration, the cli is quicker
[08:46] <sn1per> NE1 WANT 2 HAV BRKN CELLULALUM SSOW  KRRSM GGKUMKGB
[08:46] <SharpRain> Will one user be able to use another's firefox bookmarks?
[08:46] <iceblock> videocard is a pain
[08:47] <jmarsden> SharpRain: Not unless the two users cooperate to share them in some way, no.
[08:47] <iceblock> anyone know bestway to install 4870x2 on bunts?
[08:47] <ActionParsnip> SharpRain: you could give the user access to the other users .mozilla folder, then symlink it
[08:47] <SharpRain> Hmm
[08:47] <ActionParsnip> iceblock: 4870?
[08:48] <iceblock> Actionparsnip: yes 4870x2
[08:48] <jmarsden> ActionParsnip: Ewww... then if they are both logged in at once... bad stuff is possible as they both access the one profile... have you actually tried that?
[08:48] <ActionParsnip> SharpRain: if you use user switching and not logging of, it will lock the folder
[08:48] <SharpRain> I have a D drive and a C drive, which one will the new user have access to?
[08:48] <ActionParsnip> iceblock: repeating doesnt clarify anything
[08:48] <iceblock> ATI 4870x2
[08:48] <ActionParsnip> sharperguy: linux doesnt use drive letters
[08:49] <ActionParsnip> iceblock: better
[08:49] <ActionParsnip> !ati | iceblock
[08:49] <iceblock> that url is driving me nuts
[08:49] <sk8rlife125> lol
[08:49] <iceblock> i've tried it over and over
[08:50] <SharpRain> what is the path for my C drive in Ubuntu?
[08:50] <sk8rlife125> how do u get into different chat rooms?
[08:50] <SharpRain> Like cd C:/ or something>?
[08:50] <jmarsden> SharpRain: There are no C and D drives in Linux, the new user will use the parts of the Linux filesystem he has permission to use.  By default his home dir will be /home/fred if his username is fred
[08:50] <ActionParsnip> sk8rlife125: /j #<name> just like you joined this one
[08:50] <sk8rlife125> ok
[08:50] <SharpRain> Hmm
[08:51] <SharpRain> My linux filesystem is on a 40GB partition of my C drive
[08:51] <ActionParsnip> sharef: it will be /dev/sda2 for the partition, it will modt likely mount in /media as a folder
[08:51] <ActionParsnip> sharperguy: c drive doesnt mean anything here
[08:51] <SharpRain> So really, how do I access the other HDD's via the console?
[08:51] <ActionParsnip> sharperguy: if you run: sudo fdisk -l; mount
[08:51] <SharpRain> My 320GB drive, my 500GB, and my 40GB partition of my 500GB drive
[08:51] <jmarsden> SharpRain: No, "C Drive" is a Windows concept!  You mount other partitions and then you can use them
[08:51] <SharpRain> they are all mounted
[08:51] <ActionParsnip> sharperguy: you will see your partitions and ow they are mounted
[08:51] <SharpRain> They are all mounted
[08:51] <SharpRain> I can get into them with the ubuntu GUI
[08:51] <jmarsden> Then cd to them and ... use them/
[08:52] <SharpRain> How do I CD into them
[08:52] <SharpRain> cd xxx
[08:52] <jmarsden> cd /mountpoint/whatever
[08:52] <c0nfl|ct>  bom dia
[08:52] <ActionParsnip> sharperguy: then read theoutput of the command I gave and you will see where the partition is mounted
[08:52] <jmarsden> The cd command works veri similarly in Linux and in Windows :)
[08:52] <Seven-7> Is there a way to generate a script of all the packages I've installed?
[08:52] <ActionParsnip> sharperguy: cd <folder>  to enter <folder>. cd ..   to move up a folder, if its mounted you can also use nautilus
[08:53] <ActionParsnip> !clone | Seven-7
[08:53] <SharpRain> So it's in /media/
[08:53] <Maleko> actually how many groups a user can be in?
[08:53] <Seven-7> That's crazy complex.
[08:53] <jmarsden> SharpRain: It is whereever you mounted it :)  That's a common place to mount stuff.
[08:53] <sk8rlife125> lol yup
[08:53] <ActionParsnip> SharpRain: its wherever its mounted according to the output of: mount
[08:54] <jmarsden> Seven-7: dpkg --get-selections    # will give you a list
[08:54] <sk8rlife125> hey im not only ubuntu noob here =)
[08:54] <ActionParsnip> SharpRain: if you run the command you will see if and where it is mounted
[08:54] <SharpRain> I didn;t mount it to a specific place
[08:54] <SharpRain> I just clicked mount
[08:54] <SharpRain> lol
[08:54] <camonz> hi, how can I find out where was a package installed?
[08:54] <SharpRain> It's in /media/
[08:54] <jmarsden> camonz: dpkg -L packagename
[08:54] <prince_jammys> camonz: dpkg -L
[08:54] <sk8rlife125> kinda strange huh sharp
[08:54] <ActionParsnip> SharpRain: ok then use nautilus to review / manipulate the files
[08:55] <sk8rlife125> sharprain   have u tried using places computer to find ur drives?
[08:55] <Vinceman> how do you hide hidden directories in save and open dialogue boxes?
[08:55] <jmarsden> sk8rlife125: Maybe reading a tutorial such as http://tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/html/intro-linux.html would help you become more familiar with Linux in general?
[08:56] <sk8rlife125> vinceman right click properties maybe ?
[08:56] <camonz> jmarsden, prince_jammys: thanks
[08:56] <sk8rlife125> kk thx jmarsden
[08:57] <Vinceman> sk8rlife125 no it has to be something else
[08:57] <sk8rlife125> jmarsden rather vast guide i see
[08:57] <sk8rlife125> vinceman was just the first thing that came to mind srry i cant help
[08:57] <jmarsden> Not compared to some 1000+ page books on WIndows system administration :)
[08:57] <sk8rlife125> true enough =P
[08:58] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[09:00] <jmarsden> sk8rlife125: If you really want it, a "more vast" (!) guide to Linux with a lot more details is at http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html.gz  but some of the content is now a little old...
[09:00] <Veovis1> Hi, does anyone know a way to make guake use rollup animations instead of open/close animations in compiz?
[09:02] <guest1> hello
[09:02] <jmarsden> !greet guest1
[09:02] <Veovis1> guest1: hello
[09:02] <guest1> thanks:)
[09:02] <guest1> greetings to u all
[09:03] <guest1> does someone have a good knowledge about wireless internet?
[09:03] <jmarsden> guest1: Just ask your real question and find out :)
[09:03] <Veovis1> guest1: what about it?  it's a large topic?  do you need help with drivers?
[09:03] <guest1> maybe
[09:04] <guest1> when i am at the university
[09:04] <guest1> i can get speeds up to 2.3 mb  but then it crashes
[09:05] <Steil> guest what wireless card do you have?
[09:05] <Veovis1> guest1: or USB dongle
[09:06] <Steil> i had the same problem so i bought a mac
[09:06] <guest1> 06:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless WiFi Link 510
[09:06] <Steil> ahhh
[09:06] <guest1> 5100*
[09:06] <guest1> u know what it means?
[09:06] <Steil> guest1 does the computer hard lock? or reboot? what exactly happens?
[09:07] <Veovis1> guest1: or does the wireless just stop working?
[09:07] <guest1> nothing that dramatic
[09:07] <guest1> yes
[09:07] <guest1> the wireless stops working
[09:07] <Veovis1> guest1: are you using the Intel drivers?  Or third party drivers?
[09:07] <guest1> and then it takes some time to get it up and running again
[09:07] <guest1> that i dont know
[09:07] <ActionParsnip> guest1: http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/
[09:07] <guest1> how do i check?
[09:08] <SharpRain> Bounce
[09:08] <SharpRain> Get ready to bounce
[09:09] <jmarsden> SharpRain: This is #ubuntu, not #pogostick ? :)
[09:10] <ActionParsnip> guest1: can you pastebin the output of: sudo lshw -C network  please
[09:10] <guest1> sure
[09:10] <calwig> Hello, I would like to know how to restore the grub menu and boot sector on a computer where it originally had Ubuntu/XP and now has Win98/Ubuntu/XP. There is no more menu because Windows 98 has overwritten the boot sector

[09:21] <jmarsden> guest1: Yes :)
[09:21] <guest1> ahh
[09:21] <guest1> thanks:)
[09:22] <guest1> will do so:)
[09:22] <ActionParsnip> guest1imagine if 10 people pasted 15 lines like you just did, how useless would the channel be as it scrolled 150 lins allat once
[09:23] <CodeWar> how do I avoid the scanning filesystem at system startup. Is there a way I can make my system do this *routine* check in hte background while the system is still running
[09:23] <guest1> ActionParsnip: you are right, didnt really know how to do
[09:23] <thya> jjjj
[09:23] <ActionParsnip> guest1ell you know now and thats whats important :D
[09:23] <necro\> wtf
[09:23] <jmarsden> CodeWar: If the filesystem concerned is not mounted you can check it any time you want.  But if it is one you ned to be mounted, you can't check it and use it at the same time.
[09:23] <guest1> hehehe
[09:24] <guest1> ActionParsnip: did u c anything useful?
[09:25] <CodeWar> jmarsden, in this case I m using ext3 on my / which and it does routine checks at startup .. takes quite a while unless I cancel it
[09:25] <ActionParsnip> guest1: i'd try this: http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5754065
[09:25] <jmarsden> CodeWar: Understood.  But since by definition you can't do a valid e2fsck on a mounted filesystem, when else is the check supposed to happen? :)
[09:25] <ActionParsnip> guest1: compiling is release independant. You will need to recompile if you change kernel. but could make things nice
[09:26] <CodeWar> jmarsden,  well since I dont know what e2fsck is let me go google for it
[09:27] <jmarsden> CodeWar: Best solution would be to have a smallish root fs so it can be checked faster.  You can slao adjust the frequency of the checks using tune2fs -c if you want to mess with that and know enough :)
[09:27] <jmarsden> s/slao/also/
[09:27] <jmarsden> CodeWar: man e2fsck is probably a better bet than google for a Linux command, by the way :)
[09:32] <ActionParsnip> jmarsden: could ask jeevs, he may know ;)
[09:33] <jmarsden> !info e2fsck
[09:34] <ActionParsnip> !fsck
[09:34] <necro\> !e2fsck-static
[09:35] <necro\> !package e2fsck-static
[09:35] <necro\> !info e2fsck-static
[09:35] <deejaydblock> if a window turns grey what exactly does that mean?
[09:36] <necro\> deejaydblock: unresponsive
[09:36] <necro\> it might be trying to access disk or something
[09:36] <necro\> or just hanging in general
[09:36] <ActionParsnip> deejaydblock: its compiz telling you the apps is failing to respond
[09:36] <necro\> hold fo ra bit, if it doesnt sto pdoing that you can either click the x which should bring up the kill/wait dialog or run xkill and click on it or even use terminal and kill -9 or 15
[09:36] <deejaydblock> ah
[09:38] <ActionParsnip> deejaydblock: if the process is running as root, you will need sudo to kill it
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> deejaydblock: as you cant end a process which isnt yours
[09:40] <aleron6> can anybody help me install this tar file i just extracted
[09:40] <xan_> cewe cari cowok
[09:41] <sk8rlife125> hey action guess what
[09:42] <sk8rlife125> i have sound now =)))))
[09:42] <Sclytrack> Question, there are these new Catalyst 9.8 drivers for my RadeonHD 3850 graphics card, but I already installed some proprietary drivers using the installer in the menu. I have Ubuntu 9.04 installed. How do I best proceed?
[09:42] <DeBaimbo> hello, my problem is this: when I plug some usb device in my usb ports the system reboots. It happens with both ubuntu and fedora, but actually it doesn't happen everytime, just every 4-5 times. and it happens even if I plug in a usb cable with no device attached to it. And it does NOT happen with windows on this same machine
[09:43] <aleron6> can
[09:43] <aleron6> can anybody help me install this tar file i just extracted
[09:44] <onexused> aleron6: Is it a binary or source?
[09:44] <deejaydblock> is there anyway to increase the maximum volume on ubuntu?
[09:44] <aleron6> wow the difference
[09:44] <aleron6> whats
[09:45] <Sclytrack> source files usually contain the .c files or .cpp or .h files
[09:45] <Sclytrack> s/contain/are
[09:45] <nidelius> if I totally messed up my ubuntu installation is it worth try fixing.. Or should I just reinstall?...
[09:46] <prince_jammys> aleron6: see if there is an INSTALL or README file with directions.
[09:46] <prince_jammys> nidelius: what did you do?
[09:46] <neekers> heh
[09:46] <onexused> aleron6: http://www.google.com/search?q=define%3A"source+code" http://www.google.com/search?q=define%3Abinary+program
[09:47] <onexused> er, that first link's  not going to work
[09:47] <onexused> just by clicking it
[09:47] <onexused> you'll have to copy-paste it.
[09:48] <SharpRain> Yeah.

[09:48] <infidel2s> aside from backups, what are some other common useful things for cron to do?
[09:50] <nidelius> prince_jammys: I tried to compile gstream myself to get the webcam working. Now it tells me a lot of plugins are not there and I have no sound.
[09:51] <prince_jammys> nidelius: that's not the level of destruction that i suspected. if you're perseverant, you can probably fix it properly. i can't help you, since i suck at sound.
[09:51] <aleron6> http://intellinuxgraphics.org/ can anyboyd of you just see if its binary or source for yourselves
[09:52] <aleron6> its thr first link at the top
[09:53] <nidelius> prince_jammys: alright ;() I'll give it a try! bbl
[09:54] <egomosis> does anyone know how to adjust headphone balance?
[09:55] <egomosis> is it in alsamixer?
[09:55] <onexused> aleron6: You'll want a link from the same page you gave us: http://www.intellinuxgraphics.org/install.html for instructions.  I won't help you if you can't figure them out yourself, but maybe someone else will.  Maybe not.
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> egomosis: good place to start
[09:56] <aleron6> no thats a driver for my video card i just want one of you to hell me install it

[10:05] <ActionParsnip> aleron6: you didnt run the whole command
[10:05] <ActionParsnip> aleron6: running partial commands can damage your system
[10:05] <prince_jammys> the '|' was literal
[10:05] <ActionParsnip> aleron6: i gave you the eXACT commands to run
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> aleron6: they will both give 1 line output each, so its ok to paste them in here
[10:06] <aleron6> say it again for i could see
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> we'll do it the easy way
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> aleron6: copy ALL of this command and paste to terminal
[10:07] <ActionParsnip> aleron6: sudo apt-get install pastebinit; lspci | grep -i vga > ~/trtr; lsb_release -c >> ~/trtr; pastebinit ~/trtr; rm ~/trtr
[10:07] <ActionParsnip> aleron6: you will install a great program called pastebinit
[10:08] <ActionParsnip> aleron6: helps lots, give the outputted url in here
[10:08] <ActionParsnip> pastebinit kicks ass
[10:08] <aleron6> nah i dont wanna install more then therer already is
[10:09] <ActionParsnip> !info pastebinit
[10:09] <ActionParsnip> its 344kb
[10:09] <aleron6> but yell me how to install the thing
[10:09] <onexused> aleron6: You want him to help you install the video driver?  Doing what he says would be helpful.
[10:09] <ActionParsnip> aleron6: i did
[10:09] <ActionParsnip> aleron6: i gave youo the exact commadn
[10:09] <aleron6> ok so after i install it what
[10:10] <ActionParsnip> aleron6: i gave you the EXACT command to not only install pastebinit ut to then use it to give the output we need
[10:10] <ActionParsnip> lspci | grep -i vga > ~/trtr; lsb_release -c >> ~/trtr
[10:10] <ActionParsnip> oops
[10:10] <ActionParsnip> aleron6: sudo apt-get install pastebinit; lspci | grep -i vga > ~/trtr; lsb_release -c >> ~/trtr; pastebinit ~/trtr; rm ~/trtr
[10:10] <ActionParsnip> aleron6: thats is THE command you need
[10:10] <ActionParsnip> aleron6: copy that entire line, paste to terminal, press enter
[10:11] <ActionParsnip> aleron6: you will then get a url you can paste in here
[10:12] <chalcedony> worked for me
[10:12] <chalcedony> nice command

[10:13] <chalcedony> aleron6, did you give the url ?
[10:13] <aleron6> for what
[10:13] <chalcedony> aleron6, you were told to paste a carefully written command to your command linel, yes?
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> chalcedony: thanks
[10:13] <beeble1> facepalm
[10:13] <aleron6> yes
[10:14] <chalcedony> aleron6, did you do that?
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> aleron6: i gave you the command, its been proven to work byt another user using the same OS
[10:14] <aleron6> then go on already stop wasting time
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> aleron6: paste the command into a terminal and let pastebinit be installed. It will then spit out a url
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> aleron6: we need that url
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> aleron6: you are the one holding up the process
[10:15] <Jimi_Neutral> hi all does anyone know a decent piece of software I can use to monitor the traffic going from one particular PC on my Network?
[10:15] <chalcedony> aleron6, it doesn't tell them anything that can be used to harm you
[10:15] <ActionParsnip> aleron6: sudo apt-get install pastebinit; lspci | grep -i vga > ~/trtr; lsb_release -c >> ~/trtr; pastebinit ~/trtr; rm ~/trtr
[10:15] <ActionParsnip> aleron6: all it will tell us is the codename of your release and how linux sees your video card, thats all
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> aleron6: if you want to run the command then review the link before pasting it thats fine
[10:16] <aleron6> http://pastebin.com/f22baf0f3
[10:16] <aleron6> id that it
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> yes
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> se how easy it is

[10:17] <egomosis> that's cool
[10:18] <chalcedony> :)
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> pastebinit is very powerful
[10:18] <chalcedony> :)
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> you can even pipe stuff into it like: dmesg | pastebinit
[10:19] <beeble1> apologies here, recent windoze convert, still learning

[10:21] <ct529> hi everybody .... where is the default make configuration stored, with the CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS and so on?
[10:22] <bbrewer69> i have a question about booting ubuntu from a usb drive
[10:23] <bbrewer69> is there anyone that could possibly help me
[10:23] <phix> hey, I have a non-ubuntu related question, more of a procmail question, can I ask it in here? (yes, ask-to-ask protocol, but I will include the questions too: if I set a variable in a block, is it left set after theblock? or does the assignment only scoped inside the block?)
[10:23] <daishadar> is there a program i could download (or script i could write) that would automatically update my timezone based on my ip?
[10:23] <ratbox> bbrewer, get yourself a copy of Unetbootin, that should get you started...
[10:24] <bbrewer69> i need to get ubuntu onto a usb drive to put on a harddrive with no OS
[10:24] <ratbox> Unetbootin is great for that, it will also do other distros, too.
[10:24] <ratbox> let me get you a link, hang on...
[10:24] <indus> bbrewer69: unetbootin
[10:25] <indus> !unetbootin
[10:25] <ratbox> http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[10:25] <phix> hey
[10:25] <egomosis> bbrewer69: unetbootin works great but it doesn't have jaunty, just fyi
[10:25] <indus> egomosis: ? what?
[10:25] <bbrewer69> yeah i need jaunty there in lies my prob
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> bbrewer69: i use this: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-kubuntu-904-persistent-install-windows/
[10:25] <egomosis> indus: at least mine doesn't have jaunty
[10:25] <ratbox> To me, anything after Hardy is crap, the kernels are all screwed up
[10:25] <indus> egomosis: use the ppa from launchpad
[10:26] <ActionParsnip> ratbox: then dont use them
[10:26] <bbrewer69> i am new to the linux world
[10:26] <ratbox> I don't unless I have to...
[10:26] <ActionParsnip> ratbox: they are all ubuntu, just some are supported for longer
[10:26] <egomosis> ppa.launchpad.net/ jaunty right?
[10:26] <bbrewer69> i am trying it after years of windows
[10:26] <indus> egomosis: no search projects on launchpad
[10:26] <egomosis> indus: will do, thanks
[10:26] <ratbox> 8.04 LTS with about 8 GB of packages and custom repos, actually works quite well.
[10:27] <indus> egomosis:iam not sure what you mean though
[10:27] <ratbox> shit, I 'd convert this tower to 8.04, but I need like 500GB to move my shit.
[10:27] <bbrewer69> there is no way to just upload the file that i dl from the site to do it straight from the usb drive
[10:27] <egomosis> indus: where lies the confusion? i'll try and explain better
[10:27] <indus> egomosis: i used it to burn karmic to usb, you mean it didnt give you option to auto download jaunty?
[10:27] <egomosis> indus: yup
[10:28] <egomosis> indus: stops at 8.10 live
[10:28] <indus> egomosis: ok sorry but here is https://launchpad.net/unetbootin
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> bbrewer69: you need to put the files on in a special way, then install the bootloader. Those programs will manage that for you
[10:28] <bbrewer69> i dont have any os on my laptop i am using the one at work do i have to dl the unetbootin
[10:28] <indus> egomosis: its strange this problem
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> !unetboot
[10:29] <bbrewer69> im a ubuntu noob lol
[10:29] <indus> egomosis: the package itself is available in all versions
[10:29] <arand> egomosis: true, I see that on jaunty also... But you can always feed it isos anyhow.
[10:29] <egomosis> indus: i just got it from the repositories, so perhaps it hadn't been updated
[10:29] <egomosis> indus: which is what i do
[10:29] <indus> egomosis: you using which version of ubuntu
[10:29] <egomosis> 9.04 amd64
[10:29] <indus> egomosis: ok try this ppa and see maybe
[10:30] <arand> The auto-download for unetbootin in jaunty does not include anything past 8.10, however, using a jaunty iso should be absolutely fine
[10:30] <indus> egomosis: i had already burned karmic so not sure about the downloads offered, but this is funny, it downloads from ubuntu download page,so i cant understand why it wont offer new versions
[10:31] <arand> indus: It's simply not been patched for a static link to jaunty I presume
[10:31] <indus> nvm
[10:31] <indus> arand: hmm
[10:31] <zebaztian> Help, I have a problem, everytime I play a movie, my laptop gets stuck and there's nothing I can do, I have to press the reset button, the image gets stuck, it happens when i use the dragon player or the vlc player, i have the proprietary drivers installed and all
[10:31] <bbrewer69> im trying the unetbootin thing
[10:32] <egomosis> it's no big deal, i just use isos...sometimes that's faster anyway
[10:32] <zebaztian> egomosis, i did have the drivers installed for my graphics card
[10:32] <zebaztian> and yet it gets stuck after a while when i play a large avi
[10:33] <egomosis> zebaztian: try running metacity --replace before starting your movie if you havent
[10:33] <bbrewer69> i am tryin the unetbootin right now i just hope it doesnt mess up the work computer
[10:33] <phix> hi?
[10:33] <indus> egomosis: https://launchpad.net/~gezakovacs/+archive/ppa
[10:33] <indus> egomosis: sthis is best i believe
[10:33] <egomosis> indus: thanks
[10:34] <zebaztian> egomosis, what's metacity?
[10:34] <ch1pl3t> hey all - trying to update an old server.  here's a line from my sources.list file: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy main restricted universe multiverse
[10:34] <indus> bbrewer69: https://launchpad.net/~gezakovacs/+archive/ppa
[10:34] <egomosis> zebaztian: it is the default window set/manager/decoration thing, at least in gnome
[10:34] <ActionParsnip> !edgy | ch1pl3t
[10:35] <ch1pl3t> hey all - trying to update an old server.  here's a line from my sources.list file: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy main restricted universe multiverse - it's saying "404 Not Found" when I try to do the updates.  is there any way to update sources.list so I can get updates?  ActionParsnip: so is there anything I can do to get it updated?
[10:35] <egomosis> zebaztian: then when your done with your movie, do compiz --replace and it'll put everything back to normal
[10:35] <zebaztian> so what are you telling me to do again egomosis? whenever i start a movie i have to turn off the compiz/effects for the compositing not to go to slow
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> ch1pl3t: its dead. Its gonna be hard to upgrade.  I'm new in Ubuntu and I have a problem with the brightness of the screen
[10:37] <indus> perdiguero: what kind of problem
[10:38] <bbrewer69> ok i got the unetbootin to dl a syslinux file to the usb drive will it load the os from the one time boot menu now?
[10:38] <perdiguero> The problem is that I cannot reduce the brightness with the Fn keys.
[10:39] <indus> bbrewer69: probabl.y yes
[10:39] <zebaztian> egomosis, totem won't work at all, dragon works and eventually gets stuck, vlc works and eventually gets stuck, and let me see if i am getting you correctly, what you're tellingme to do is turn off the desktop effects before playing the movie right? that's what i do
[10:39] <indus> perdiguero: do follow instructions on how to, has the syslinux been burned to usb ?
[10:39] <indus> perdiguero: sorry wrong nick
[10:39] <egomosis> zebaztian: actually i'm recommending you completely disable compiz
[10:40] <zebaztian> egomosis? why?
[10:40] <indus> zebaztian: they cause issues like these all the time
[10:40] <egomosis> zebaztian: for some reason they just aren't friends. i don't know where the conflict actually is.
[10:40] <DigitalDarkness> What Video Card are you runnign and what driver?
[10:41] <indus> desktop effects is hopeless
[10:41] <egomosis> indus: some of us enjoy our eye candy, and are willing to be inconvenienced for it ;-)
[10:41] <indus> i know , but from the beginnning , it gave me a headaache
[10:41] <indus> literally i mean
[10:41] <DigitalDarkness> I am running a Radeon4850 and Catylist 9.9 driver with FULL effects and Totem and VLC are rock solid.
[10:42] <egomosis> indus: word
[10:42] <DigitalDarkness> If you getting instability, update your drivers
[10:42] <indus> they need to make effects behave like in mac os
[10:42] <indus> it seems so seamless and part of the os unlike desktop effects which bog down the system
[10:43] <JonathanEllis> Is there an application to check the status of both batteries on a laptop. I have two batteries and I want to see which is which and whether they are both charging properly. I suspect one is knackered. Thanks for your consideration.
[10:43] <DigitalDarkness> get the Compiz Setting Manager and you can adjust and mod what you need
[10:43] <indus> i have a nice graphics card but it alwayss is sluggish with desktop effects
[10:43] <beeble1> perdiguero: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=6204 was the best I could find for ya until someone with more experience can find better
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> indus: get video drivers in
[10:43] <egomosis> DigitalDarkness: is that different than the fglrx driver?
[10:43] <indus> DigitalDarkness: nvm, i prefer the non desktop effects
[10:43] <perdiguero> indus: I tried to install the miniapplication of Ubuntu to regulate brightness but doesn't works. This laptop works with a ATI Radeon graphics card
[10:44] <indus> perdiguero: so right now the fn keeys dontwork for any function? eg sound?
[10:44] <DigitalDarkness> @ Egomis yes, the ones that download on jaunty are outdated and crash like hell al lthe time. The ones from ATI/AMD website are solid.
[10:45] <DigitalDarkness> You gota take into account that compiz fusion is being updated in conjunction with newer drivers constantly. You use older drivers with it and it becomes unstable.
[10:45] <indus> DigitalDarkness: do amd drivers work good these days> i plan to buy 4850
[10:46] <DigitalDarkness> They are great and getting better. 2 years back I would have worried. but since they joined in with AMD they have been heading in a good direction.
[10:46] <egomosis> DigitalDarkness: compiz seems really stable, never any problems until i start up a movie...though with the most recent patches it's a lot better.
[10:46] <zebaztian> egomosis: sorry computer froze
[10:46] <zebaztian> what did you last say to me?
[10:46] <zebaztian> you had suggested i disabled compiz completely for some reason
[10:46] <Twinkletoes|W> Is it possible using pam_ldap, to prevent successful login if an account in Microsoft Active Directory is set to "disabled"?  At the moment I can disable an account, but still login when using pam_ldap.  My pam.d config for sshd (account) is: account  required  /usr/local/lib/pam_ldap.so
[10:46] <DigitalDarkness> @Ego, yea I had the same issues, Update driver from ATI or NVidias sight, depends on which brand you have and it fixes that issue.
[10:47] <DigitalDarkness> Most users that have issues with video and compiz are using outdated drivers.
[10:48] <zebaztian> egomosis, why would you recomend that i completely disable compiz and how cna i go about doing that anyway?
[10:49] <egomosis> zebaztian: because it clashes with video, but as DigitalDarkness has pointed out, it may be a driver issue. I replace compiz with metacity before playing movie with the command metacity --replace in a terminal
[10:50] <zebaztian> egomosis: what's the command on the shell again?
[10:50] <zebaztian> and do you recomend i get rid of it?
[10:50] <zebaztian> what about when i'm on  kde?
[10:50] <egomosis> metacity --replace
[10:50] <egomosis> that i don't know
[10:50] <egomosis> i use gnome
[10:50] <indus> zebaztian: u on kde?
[10:51] <indus> zebaztian: in gnome go to system>preferences>appeareance > visual effects > none
[10:51] <zebaztian> i'm on kde right now but only for this conversation purposes
[10:51] <zebaztian> indus
[10:51] <new12> hola
[10:51] <new12> hola
[10:52] <new12> alguien
[10:52] <zebaztian> egomosis, so i just typed that command in the terminal, should i get rid of compiz altogether?
[10:52] <egomosis> zebaztian: depends on how much you like cool effects
[10:53] <egomosis> DigitalDarkness: does the 9.9 driver require a purge of previous drivers first, or can i just do the .run?
[10:53] <new12> hola
[10:54] <new12> necesito ayuda
[10:55] <silverfast> !es new12
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> egomosis: cool is debatable
[10:55] <stlsaint> !es | new12
[10:55] <DigitalDarkness> @ Ego, yea just run it. I have and havent had any issues.
[10:56] <zebaztian> egomosis, how does one get rid of compiz?
[10:56] <egomosis> DigitalDarkness: thanks, will do
[10:57] <silverfast> zebaztian: system>preferences>appeareance > visual effects > none
[10:57] <DigitalDarkness> only comlaint about the 9.9 drivers is that they dont yet support the 2.6.31 kernel
[10:57] <zebaztian> and in kde?
[10:57] <egomosis> zebaztian: if you really want to get rid of it, i would use synaptic, but i don't know if that's really necessarry
[10:58] <indus> why do u need desktop effects in kde? its already gorgeous
[10:58] <zebaztian> cube
[10:58] <zebaztian> indus, for the cube effects
[10:58] <Wolke> I have an problem with an Brother MFC-5440CN Printer I can't chose the MFC-5440CN driver but i have downloaded an package in the synaptic package system (apt-get with gui) which provide the driver but i still can't chose it?! can Anyone help me?
[10:58] <zebaztian> egomosis, how do you know younhave the same graphics card as i do?
[10:58] <indus> kk
[10:58] <egomosis> because you told me, and it's the same
[10:58] <popeye_> Is there a hd repair I can run from live cd?
[10:58] <zebaztian> can i install a better graphics card on my laptop computer? that will work with ubuntu?
[10:59] <DigitalDarkness> @ Zeb, what card do you have and what driver you currently running?

[11:00] <obiwan_> hi, i need a program to reverse all the bits in a file (first bits go last). If you don't know a program, i need to know how to read bit per bit in a binary read (rb) where do i store the bits? (in intetgers, floats, chars,...which? )

[11:01] <indus> obiwan_: maybe try #C
[11:02] <firelane> how can i change my wifi name in my wireless list without touching the name in the router
[11:02] <indus> ind
[11:02] <firelane> like a spoof wirless name
[11:02] <obiwan_> but don't know how to read the bits, like they were characters, integers, i don't know how to manipulate bits and save them to some kind of data
[11:02] <zebaztian> DigitalDarkness, how do i do this?
[11:02] <zebaztian> what do i type on the terminal
[11:02] <obiwan_> hey, the problem it's not the language, whole programs are made in C, i just need to know how to manipulate them
[11:02] <CQ2> obiwan open the file as binary, read it into an array, reverse into another array, open file for binary write and write
[11:03] <obiwan_> yeah but what type of array? CQ2 ?
[11:03] <prince_jammys> 20:24 prince_jammys> obiwan_: ##c ?
[11:03] <obiwan_> i don't know , unisgned chars, integers, floats, there are so many i don't know what data type is a bit
[11:03] <zebaztian> DigitalDarkness, I am right here http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx
[11:03] <firelane>  like a spoof wireless name to fool my roommate that we are not using her wifi
[11:03] <zebaztian> which should i download for mine?
[11:03] <obiwan_> ahh ok i sthought you were talking about c# haha ok ok
[11:04] <obiwan_> i'll ask there then, anyway CQ2  if you know the answer please tell my in private
[11:04] <prince_jammys> heh, no. i meant the channel.
[11:04] <DigitalDarkness> www.amd.com go to supposrt/drivers, then choose your driver for your card. They got a simple easy to use menu selection screen. They after you download it do $sudo bash ./ati-driver-9-9-blah blah and it will run and pop up a dialog window. just choose normal and next next and goo to go. restart xorg or just reboot the easy way and good to go.
[11:04] <obiwan_> thanks prince_jammys  i didn't know about a c chanel ;)
[11:04] <prince_jammys> welcome. there's ##c, ##cpp ..
[11:04] <obiwan_> nice !
[11:05] <zebaztian> DigitalDarkness, from this page though http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx
[11:05] <zebaztian> which do i choose? the one my computer's already listing? the radeon hd 3200 ?
[11:05] <DigitalDarkness> yep
[11:06] <zebaztian> DigitalDarkness, but i already have that one?

[11:10] <zebaztian> am i getting the right one based on thatlink?
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> zebaztian: x86 will be 32bit
[11:11] <zebaztian> so thats a  yes
[11:11] <DigitalDarkness> yes
[11:12] <zebaztian> will this enable me to have compiz and play movies at the same time without stuckage?
[11:12] <DigitalDarkness> It "should"
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> zebaztian: linux comes with no warranty and no SLA
[11:12] <DigitalDarkness> It normally does fix 99% of the issues.
[11:13] <zebaztian> so once it's done downloading do i just click on it?
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> zebaztian: you'll need to right click it and mark it as executable
[11:13] <zebaztian> right click, mark as executable then click?
[11:14] <DigitalDarkness> Soon as it downloaded. go to terminal screen. and run 'sudo bash ./ati-driver-instalerwhateveritsname' and a dialog screen will appear with the ole to familar next next next crap.
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> zebaztian: you then double click it and then run it in terminal
[11:14] <zebaztian> ok i'm confused now
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> DigitalDarkness: zebaztian: that will work too
[11:15] <zebaztian> what do i do, right click mark as exec and then double click
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> DigitalDarkness: you'll find its on the desktop too as firefox default is weirdly, the desktop
[11:15] <DigitalDarkness> Both ways will work, I am just more old school of doing things.
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> DigitalDarkness: i love old school
[11:16] <zebaztian> sudo bash ./ati-driver-installer-9-9-x86.x86_64 ?

[11:16] <DigitalDarkness> you got the 64bit one
[11:16] <ActionParsnip> bhaskar: you can add the CD as a repo then use: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[11:16] <DigitalDarkness> , you need the 32bit lol
[11:16] <bhaskar> no 32 bit
[11:17] <zebaztian> bash: ./ati-driver-installer-9-9-x86.x86_64: No such file or directory
[11:17] <bhaskar> how to add as repo
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> DigitalDarkness: looks like its conjoined to me
[11:17] <zebaztian> ActionParsnip, can you link me to the 32 bit one for christs sake
[11:17] <bhaskar> ActionParsnip: how to add as repo
[11:17]  * zebaztian deletes 64 bit one
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> zebaztian: try: sudo sh ~/Desktop/ati-driver-installer-9-9-x86.x86_64.run
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> zebaztian: you had the right file.  Zebs shoudl be good to go if he returns its either good he got it working. Or very bad Xorgs smashed.. hehe
[11:25] <SingAlong> ActionParsnip: i'm on acer aspire one 1gb ram!
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> SingAlong: still applies, even if you had 256Mb
[11:25] <DigitalDarkness> G'Night all
[11:26] <indus> g night
[11:26] <SingAlong> ActionParsnip: and still when i run emacs, firefox, irc client, file explorer and a local server. i'll have to wait ages to screen my letters displayed on screen
[11:26] <Myrtti> RaaG: please use pastebin the next time!
[11:26] <zebaztian> HELP!!!
[11:26] <SingAlong> ActionParsnip: would xfce be better on my machine?
[11:26] <zebaztian> now it got all screwed up
[11:26] <zebaztian> like i am on a low resolution mode or somethign
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> SingAlong: yes, or lxde, anything but gnome or kde
[11:26] <zebaztian> like it said the server wouldn't load or something
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> SingAlong: they use less ram so will be slicker
[11:27] <zebaztian> and not it looks like if i was on dapper
[11:27] <zebaztian> what happened
[11:27] <SingAlong> ActionParsnip: the only thing i thought about xfce is that it would reduce the window space coz the bottom bar on the xubuntu desktop takes up lots of space on my small screen
[11:27] <apoc_> How can I do like "sudo echo foo>bar" but writing to bar should be as root?
[11:27] <Myrtti> indus: thanks for assuming and thinking the worst of me.
[11:27] <Myrtti> -->
[11:27] <indus> RaaG: go to paste.ubuntu.com then paste the errors/messages there, then write name and press paste, you will then get a new page similar to what you see, then copy the url and paste here
[11:27] <indus> Myrtti: aye sorry man, didnt mean to be rude
[11:27] <indus> Myrtti: :)
[11:27] <zebaztian> there was a problem initializing catalyzing center linus edition or somthing
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> then make it smaller, lxde has a very small ottom panel, fluxbox is light and has no panel at all
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> SingAlong: ^
[11:28] <zebaztian> ActionParsnip, help
[11:28] <indus> Myrtti: i appreciate your work, thats why i thought you might have erred in that case, didnt know about mute ban
[11:28] <zebaztian> now my laptop looks all weird
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> zebaztian: use the ati config tool to configure the driver
[11:28] <SingAlong> ActionParsnip: hows lxde? is it good to look at? i've only read abt it. not seen it
[11:28] <SingAlong> ActionParsnip: which is better xfce or lxde? I've only used xfce.
[11:28] <SingAlong> ActionParsnip: so you suggest lxde?
[11:29] <zebaztian> ActionParsnip, no ati driver installed or not functioning properly
[11:29] <beeble1> I have to say, I tuned in here to learn a little bit more about running ubuntu, but watching this chat has been some of the most fun I've had in quite awhile.
[11:29] <RaaG> http://pastebin.com/m701d8ac5
[11:29] <zebaztian> ActionParsnip, what ati configure tool?
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> SingAlong: there is no etter, its personal choice, install them and see which you prefer
[11:29] <indus> RaaG: good boy :)
[11:29] <RaaG> Tnx
[11:29] <SingAlong> ActionParsnip: which one has a small foot print?
[11:29] <indus> ActionParsnip: i hope you got the link RaaG pasted
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> RaaG: see how you gave all that info and didnt annoy everyone by scrolling the channel?
[11:30] <ActionParsnip> indus: indeed
[11:30] <SingAlong> ActionParsnip: if i install both and have gnome too, i get a choice screen when i login right?
[11:30] <ActionParsnip> yes you change your session to whichever you desire
[11:30] <kane77> how do I change keyboard map in terminal and/or how do I enable ssh connections in "safe mode" (root console with networking)?
[11:30] <zebaztian> ActionParsnip, what did i do wrong? how do i fix it? it looks scary, like i screwed up my system
[11:30] <RaaG> when i updates throgh terminal
[11:31] <arand> apoc_: You could always do "sudo echo word | sudo tee file"
[11:31] <zebaztian> ActionParsnip, it says there's no ati driver installed or that it is misinstalled, how do i figure this out
[11:32] <SingAlong> Can google chrome be installed on ubuntu? I see no official release though.
[11:32] <SingAlong> firefox is too bad for my netbook.
[11:32] <ActionParsnip> !ati | zebaztian
[11:32] <ActionParsnip> SingAlong: you can but its not great
[11:32] <rich_dnb> guys, ive been tweeked up by java, i tried to get an app working by installin another version and now nothing works, any ideas how to fix it?
[11:32] <apoc_> arand: Ok, thanks. I often just do sudo bash and then play with the root shell, but I know that's kind of wrong
[11:32] <ActionParsnip> SingAlong: try swiftfox or kasenchaze
[11:32] <SingAlong> ActionParsnip: i just thought i could use a different browser too. coz firefox also seems too heavy.
[11:33] <ActionParsnip> SingAlong: it is, its a memory bloat. i dont use it personally. i think its a POS
[11:33] <SingAlong> ActionParsnip: i do web dev and a lot of javascript stuff
[11:33] <SingAlong> ActionParsnip: does swiftfox support adding firefox addons? (from the name it sounds like its a firefox derivative)
[11:33] <zebaztian> ActionParsnip, what do i do? you just walked me by the hand and i don't knwo what happened
[11:34] <zebaztian> this looks worse than before
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> SingAlong: should do, yes
[11:34] <pdf> any advises for a groupware packaged for ubuntu, working with evolution and thunderbird ?
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> zebaztian: read the binary driver guide
[11:34] <zebaztian> i went to hardware drivers

[11:34] <kiennt> hi all
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> zebaztian: it tells you how to setup ati drivers

[11:35] <RaaG> i try out ones more
[11:35] <indus> kyja: you have a grub related question?
[11:36] <zebaztian> ActionParsnip, so basically paste this onto a terminal sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` sudo insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/volatile/fglrx.ko ??
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> RaaG: use pastebin for the output

[11:37] <zebaztian> where's digitaldarkness
[11:37] <Pirate_Hunter> in /etc/samba/smd.conf does an option like this ';   bind interfaces only = true' mean it is commented out or do i have to remove the elading ; for it to be active?

[11:40] <indus> rich_dnb: is e trade a piece of software?
[11:41] <rich_dnb> its a java applet
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> bhaskar: add the cd as  repo in synaptic, then run: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> rich_dnb: your release isnt supported hre
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> *here
[11:41] <indus> bhaskar: for step by step i suggest follow an online guide , ActionParsnip is that a good idea ?
[11:41] <kane77> ActionParsnip, when I boot normally and login there is some error output on tty's but in kern.log or xorg log I cannot see it now
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> indus: as long as the kubuntu release cd matches the installed version, sure
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> kane77: does it happen for all users, if you only have one user, boot to recovery root console and creare one there
[11:42] <Pirate_Hunter> in /etc/samba/smd.conf does an option like this ';   bind interfaces only = true' mean it is commented out or do i have to remove the leading ; for it to be active?
[11:42] <indus> ActionParsnip: also, what do you mean using the cd asa repo? he is trying to install isnt it?
[11:42] <bhaskar> indus: thanx but i add to repo but now wht should i do nxt will i hve tick every option
[11:42] <rich_dnb> i also have 8.10 and that doesnt work either
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> indus: you can use the CD in the tray as a repo, much like the online ones
[11:43] <indus> ActionParsnip: hmm isnt cd old compared to online versions of software
[11:43] <indus> ActionParsnip: hmm install something from cd, then update same from onlline updates?
[11:44] <zebaztian> ActionParsnip, i am lost
[11:44] <zebaztian> where did digitaldarkness go
[11:44] <zebaztian> i am on low graphics mode
[11:44] <zebaztian> it says the driver is not installed or misinstalled
[11:44] <beeble1> have you tried changing the resolution?
[11:44] <kane77> ActionParsnip, I got something in syslog: "Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 0" (and also blocks 1, 2, 3)
[11:44] <ActionParsnip> indus: yes but s/he said s/he wanted to install from cd. Maybe their is no web connection
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> kane77: sr0 is the cd drive
[11:45] <RaaG> ok
[11:45] <RaaG> thnaks
[11:45] <zebaztian> no ati graphics driver installed or driver is not functioning properly
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> RaaG: better?
[11:45] <RaaG> yep
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> RaaG: run the system for a day or so, if its all goo you can delete that file, you will need sudo to delete it as it is owned by root
[11:46] <kubanc> i cannot set brightness on my laptop, i have ubuntu 8.10.  does anybody have a solution ?
[11:46] <zebaztian> ActionParsnip, how can i switch back to the default ubuntu open source drivers?
[11:46] <zebaztian> this sucks
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> zebaztian: not sure, does the bin file have an uninstall option
[11:47] <zebaztian> what bin file!?
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> zebaztian: the one you installed with
[11:47] <zebaztian> are you tlqking about the .run file i downloaded?
[11:47] <zebaztian> that was a single file
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> zebaztian: dude you are asking the wrong guy. i dont use ati. i think they are garbage
[11:47] <zebaztian> then why did you get me to install it earlier?
[11:48] <ActionParsnip> zebaztian: maybe someone else can advise
[11:48] <zebaztian> and where's digitaldarkness
[11:48] <ActionParsnip> zebaztian: because you have an ati card and want drivers
[11:48] <ActionParsnip> zebaztian: i dunno, ask if he ever comes back
[11:48] <ahoy> hi
[11:48] <zebaztian> how do i rever what i did?
[11:48] <zebaztian> ActionParsnip, you helped me install this driver
[11:48] <zebaztian> help me get rid of it and install the default open source one
[11:49] <beeble1> zebaztian: what card you running?
[11:49] <ahoy> does anybody had problems with mutt?
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> zebaztian: as well as i could. you could edit xorg.conf to force it to use the open source driver but i'd ask the channel for ati help
[11:49] <arand> zebaztian: if you run the .run file with --help flag, does it show any uninstallation options?
[11:49] <remoteCTRL1> hi guys!
[11:50] <ahoy> hi
[11:50] <zebaztian> arand: what help flag?

[11:50] <bubbles_> hi.. how can i detect my systems default browser from the command line?
[11:50] <arand> $ ./ati_installer_blah_blah --help
[11:51] <arand> and add a sudo to that I guess
[11:52] <ahoy> anyone here use mutt as email client?
[11:52] <zebaztian> arand sudo: ./ati-driver-installer-9-9-x86.x86_64.run: command not found

[11:55] <ActionParsnip> zebaztian: try: cd /usr/share/ati; sudo sh ./fglrx-uninstall.sh
[11:55] <zebaztian> beeble1, lspci | grep VGA
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> kane77: may just be the cd in it
[11:55] <zebaztian> 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS780M/RS780MN [Radeon HD 3200 Graphics]
[11:56] <kane77> ActionParsnip, there was problem with the drive before.. I was not able to install ubuntu, because it kept freezing/kernel panicking
[11:56] <zebaztian> ActionParsnip, sebastian@jaunty:~$ cd /usr/share/ati; sudo sh ./fglrx-uninstall.sh restore of system environment completed
[11:56] <kubanc> i cannot set brightness on my laptop, i have ubuntu 8.10.  does anybody have a solution ?
[11:56] <arand> zebaztian: since the driver you were mentioning before is the 64bit version...
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> kane77: sounds suspect to me
[11:56] <zebaztian> ActionParsnip, Uninstall fglrx driver complete...sebastian@jaunty:/usr/share/ati$
[11:56] <o5iri5> Howde, how do I set ubuntu jaunty to keep my windows on top ? Everytime I click a web link / other application it opens the window beneath the active window.
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> zebaztian: ok now reboot
[11:57] <zebaztian> arand: that was the onyl version on the website

[11:57] <kane77> ActionParsnip, when I created installation usb stick it worked like a charm..
[11:57] <zebaztian> if you go to 86 radeon 3200

[11:58] <leaf-sheep> I installed Ubuntu on my Dell XPS M1530 laptop and it worked like my cereal -- LUCKY CHARMS.
[11:58] <ActionParsnip> kane77: usb is more stable than CD. you can pick up a new optical drive for less than a couple packets of smokes
[11:58] <deejaydblock> i have a question about IRC. how come there are some channels i can't talk on or i can talk and no one can see me?
[11:59] <leaf-sheep> deejaydblock: Channel modes do exists.
[11:59] <arand> zebaztian: hmm, yea might be just ati naming that's odd...
[11:59] <deejaydblock> ?
[11:59] <zebaztian> brb gonna reboot
[11:59] <dvinchi____> SELECT Hi *;
[11:59] <leaf-sheep> deejaydblock: #ubuntu is in mode +tncLf

[12:04] <uni4dfx> how do i apply nvidia-settings?
[12:05] <leaf-sheep> Run "Go Go Gadget --nvidia-settings"
[12:05] <ActionParsnip> uni4dfx: you can run: gksudo nvidia-settings     setup the display then click write to xorg.conf
[12:05] <deejaydblock> what do i do if a channel is full?
[12:06] <ActionParsnip> deejaydblock: wait for a space i guess
[12:06] <indus> deejaydblock: start your own channel
[12:06] <StupidWeasel> ##channel is typical for an overflow channel.
[12:06] <deejaydblock> lol i dont wanna be alone
[12:06] <deejaydblock> lmao
[12:06] <uni4dfx> ActionParsnip, thanks.. it's acting really weird, VSync is off, but immediately when i run nvidia-settings it gets turned on (all i do is run nvidia-settings, and dont change anything)
[12:07] <indus> uni4dfx: run nvidia x server settings from administration menu
[12:07] <ActionParsnip> uni4dfx: try writing to xorg.conf, it may help
[12:07] <ActionParsnip> uni4dfx: i turn vsync off, gets more frames :)
[12:07] <uni4dfx> ActionParsnip, yea but it hammers your CPU
[12:08] <indus> uni4dfx: no it doesnt
[12:08] <ActionParsnip> uni4dfx: not had any troubles since tnt2 ultra was top dog in the video card stakes
[12:08] <indus> ActionParsnip: tnt2 :) i remember the days
[12:08] <uni4dfx> indus, yeah it kinda does... glxgears w/o vsync: 100%, glxgeas w/ vsync: 0-2% CPU
[12:08] <ActionParsnip> great card, was when hidden and dangerous came out and it wouldnt work on voodoo cards
[12:08] <indus> uni4dfx: glxgears is not a benchmark
[12:09] <uni4dfx> indus, who says i'm benchmarking anything
[12:09] <indus> uni4dfx: it means ,dont rely on glxgears for this
[12:09] <Phurl> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/java-access-bridge/+bug/429296#
[12:09] <indus> uni4dfx: any other links you have to suggest vsync uses cpu if off?
[12:10] <uni4dfx> indus, it doesn't matter what i run, it might aswell be xmoto
[12:10] <uni4dfx> indus, the CPU usage is obvious
[12:10] <ActionParsnip> uni4dfx: i'll try it later, see what happens
[12:10] <ActionParsnip> uni4dfx: what cpu are you running?
[12:10] <uni4dfx> intel c2d
[12:11] <ActionParsnip> speed?
[12:11] <uni4dfx> 1.8GHz
[12:11] <ActionParsnip> ok mines 1.6Ghz single core. I'll see how it flys
[12:11] <indus> hmm so vsync on reduces cpu usage , man i shoul try this
[12:11] <indus> no wait, its on in settings nvidia
[12:11] <indus> sync to vbank ??
[12:12] <uni4dfx> yes that's it
[12:12] <indus> sync to vblank?
[12:12] <uni4dfx> yes
[12:12] <indus> its on by default i think
[12:12] <indus> hmm have to check this
[12:12] <uni4dfx> well it's off here until i run nvidia-settings lol
[12:12] <Lenin_Cat> can you use dri2 with fglrx?
[12:13] <indus> uni4dfx:i select nvidia-settings from administration menu, why would you need to run it?
[12:13] <indus> uni4dfx: you are running nvidia-xconfig i believe
[12:13] <ActionParsnip> indus: selecting it from the menu IS running it
[12:13] <uni4dfx> indus, pretty sure i've typed nvidia-settings
[12:13] <indus> ActionParsnip: and pressing quit is saving and quitting
[12:13] <indus> uni4dfx: the tool saves settings on quit
[12:14] <indus> uni4dfx: its not saving for you?
[12:14] <ActionParsnip> indus: i always write to xorg.conf
[12:14] <zebastian> ActionParsnip, HELP!
[12:14] <uni4dfx> indus, i think they're supposed to be applied on-the-fly

[12:14] <zebastian> i did what you toldm e and now nothing will load after the splash screen
[12:14] <zebastian> it says no image
[12:14] <ActionParsnip> zebastian: boot to recovery mode and select fix graphics
[12:14] <doktoreas> Hello folks..I have some troubles accessing my remote Ubuntu server and ping it got a Source Quench what this meean?
[12:14] <zebastian> how do i boot to recovery mode?
[12:14] <ActionParsnip> zebastian: when grub loads press esc
[12:14] <doktoreas> ubuntu, yep
[12:15] <deejaydblock> anyway i can force myself into a full room?
[12:15] <Myrtti> deejaydblock: no, but you could inform the ops
[12:15] <deejaydblock> how?
[12:15] <ActionParsnip> deejaydblock: cant be done, otherwise the limit would be meaningless
[12:16] <Myrtti> /msg chanserv access #channel list
[12:16] <Myrtti> deejaydblock: ^
[12:16] <zebastian> ActionParsnip, i did that now i am in the recovery menu, it says, resume, clean, dpkg,fsck, grup, netroot
[12:16] <zebastian> which should i choose?
[12:16] <ubuntu> ok.......senti ho un problema serio.....ho scaricato il kernel linux in versione stable 2.6.31 ma nn mi si avvia + il sistema.....sn partito cn il livecd di ubuntu......c'è un modo di rimuovere il kernel e tornare allo staato precedente snz formattare
[12:16] <zebastian> ActionParsnip, xfix?
[12:17] <leaf-sheep> deejaydblock: Forcing yourself into a full room?  Remember... No means no.
[12:17] <indus> ubuntu this is english channel only
[12:17] <Myrtti> !it | ubuntu
[12:17] <indus> ubuntu if you know a little english this is a good room for support
[12:17] <ubuntu> ok........sorry.....good bye
[12:17] <indus> ubuntu come stai
[12:18] <deejaydblock> what does that do Myrtti
[12:18] <zebastian> ActionParsnip i'm at the recovery menu, do i select xfix?
[12:18] <ActionParsnip> zebastian: yes
[12:18] <Myrtti> deejaydblock: checks from chanserv who are the ops, you can then msg one of them and ask if the channel limit could be raised
[12:19] <AussieGuy> how do you get a game (openarena in this case) to release the mouse? it wont let the mouse go even if I run it in a window
[12:19] <deejaydblock> that didn't do anything for me myritti
[12:19] <deejaydblock> Myrtti: that didn't do anything for me
[12:19] <Myrtti> deejaydblock: did you check your status window?
[12:19] <indus> deejaydblock: which channel is this?
[12:19] <deejaydblock> its on a different server but its #football
[12:20] <indus> deejaydblock: if you check again now, probably you have space to enter
[12:20] <deejaydblock> how do you know that indus
[12:20] <indus> deejaydblock: its the simplest way to enter any channel, check again later :)
[12:20] <SingAlong> i removed network manager in ubuntu by mistake when i was installing lxde on my netbook. is there any way to reinstall that? i have my ubuntu netbook remix img file in a bootable usb
[12:21] <indus> anyways, this is way off topic
[12:21] <leaf-sheep> Football? Very very offtopic exempt Chicago Bears.
[12:21] <deejaydblock> its not giving me ops name Myrtti
[12:21] <indus> SingAlong: yes its a system process, go to system>administration>startup applications
[12:21] <indus> SingAlong: check it and log in again
[12:22] <ikey> Greetings
[12:22] <indus> SingAlong: if you dont find it there, in terminal type nm-applet, then go to start up apps , then check box it, then save etc
[12:22] <SingAlong> indus: it isnt in my list of startup apps.
[12:22] <ikey> ALT+F2 is quicker :)
[12:22] <indus> SingAlong: did i make this clear enough?
[12:22] <SingAlong> indus: k
[12:22] <indus> SingAlong: ya then start it like i said ,
[12:22] <SingAlong> indus: ya i didnt see your last chat reply.
[12:22] <Aivaras> Installed ubuntu and now can't boot winxp, says "missing or corrupted hal.dll". And as I see there's no boot.ini in the windows partition. Help??
[12:23] <zebastian> ActionParsnip, i get the following output xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20090914051027
[12:23] <SingAlong> indus: i;ll do it now
[12:23] <indus> kk
[12:23] <zebastian> then it kicks me back to the recovery menu
[12:23] <zebastian> how do i fix this
[12:23] <ActionParsnip> zebastian: thats fine, reboot
[12:23] <SingAlong> indus: now i get the program can be found inthe following pkgs and then network-manager-gnome is one in the list
[12:23] <tavi> hy
[12:23] <ActionParsnip> zebastian: you have just defaulted your xorg.conf to failsafe
[12:23] <tavi> i want to see tv on linux
[12:23] <tavi> who help me?
[12:24] <indus> SingAlong: oh did u delete the package?
[12:24] <SingAlong> indus: is there anyway to reinstall it from the ubuntu netbook remix bootable usb?
[12:24] <SingAlong> indus: ya removed it by mistake when installing lxde
[12:24] <indus> SingAlong: yes i think so, add cd as a repository then install nm-applet i guess
[12:24] <indus> !info nm-applet
[12:24] <indus> !info network-manger
[12:25] <zebastian> ActionParsnip, now after the splash i get a row of blurry ubuntu's spelled out and nothing after
[12:25] <SingAlong> ActionParsnip: i noticed that i had openbox de too. thats fairly very simple too. i dont know if that came with lxde though.
[12:25] <beeble1> !info network-manager
[12:25] <SingAlong> ActionParsnip: openbox has no bottom bar. and it just barebones de.
[12:26] <leaf-sheep> !info network-manager-gnome
[12:26] <beeble1> that what you were looking for indus?
[12:26] <indus> beeble1: thanks a million
[12:26] <tavi> who help me?
[12:26] <leaf-sheep> !help | tavi
[12:26] <indus> tavi: we all help
[12:26] <tavi> i asked once
[12:27] <zebastian> ActionParsnip, maybe i didn't get you right, clearly i didn't, after that output, when you said reboot you meant i had to something more subtle than to press the off button adn turn it on again
[12:27] <Mamid> hello. :) I'm looking for some remote desktop help.  I have an ubuntu guru on the phone who I trust and both of us want him to get access to my desktop through a remote desktop viewer, but "remote desktop" doesn't work.  any ideas on how to do this?

[12:29]  * leaf-sheep in his best American accent.... Git her done!
[12:29] <Mamid> can anyone help me?
[12:29] <indus> leaf-sheep: copyright, copy crap etc etc not available in your country cos you suck
[12:29] <tavi> i need a program that find tv channels
[12:29] <nibbler_> SingAlong: dpkg -i /source/to/packet
[12:29] <leaf-sheep> indus: I don't disagree. ;)
[12:29] <tavi> i mean .....discovery i can't see anywere
[12:29] <Myrtti> Mamid: have you checked your router settings?
[12:29] <beeble1> try just plain old youtube, they've got a channels section
[12:29] <tavi> nowhere
[12:29] <SingAlong> how do i add my bootable ubuntu pendrive (netbook remix) as pkg source in synaptic?
[12:29] <Mamid> yes. he is able to connect through SSH
[12:30] <zebastian> ActionParsnip, ok just restarted, i still don't get anything much other than blurry minisplashes after the splash screen
[12:30] <indus> SingAlong: you need to do it from softeware sources
[12:30] <nibbler_> Mamid: what protocol do you try to use? you have vnc installed, or you use x forwarding or what?
[12:30] <SingAlong> nibbler_: i have it as a bootable img written to my usb. how do i find a particular pkg?
[12:30] <ActionParsnip> SingAlong: fire up synaptic and add the location as a repo
[12:30] <tavi> now sorry ....i must go somewhere for 5 minutes
[12:30] <tavi> come back soon
[12:30] <zebastian> it blacks out two times and then it's a line of wee blurry ubuntu's written out
[12:30] <nibbler_> SingAlong: no idea, try find /path/to/usb |grep -i pkgname
[12:30] <indus> please ,have a nice trip
[12:30] <Dr_Willis> SingAlong:  i dont think you can use that  image as a repo source.. Im not sure you can use a normal desktop cd as a repo source either..
[12:30] <kebomix>  all kde4.3 applications  looks like that , what libraries do i need to install ? http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/6615/45812436.png
[12:30] <nibbler_> SingAlong: sorry, you can also add directories to your sources.list
[12:30] <indus> Dr_Willis: you can
[12:31] <indus> Dr_Willis: surely a cd yes can be added
[12:31] <gizmo_the_great> hi. I got a 410Gb hardware RAID. It's been running fine for about 2 years, but last few days started to get really slow. Any tools I can use to check and increase performance?
[12:31] <Dr_Willis> indus:  the pkg's are nidden somewhere on there then?  ive looked at the things and never noticed  them there
[12:31] <indus> Dr_Willis: depends on how you added the cd
[12:31] <SingAlong> ActionParsnip: my usb doesnt show up as a source.
[12:31] <Dr_Willis> indus:  so lets clarify  a 'live -desktop-cd can work as a 'repo' to upgrade from?'
[12:31] <indus> Dr_Willis: no no no upgradde, only get packages
[12:32] <SingAlong> anywhere i can find the network manager pkg for download?
[12:32] <indus> Dr_Willis: later, you can upgrade same from online repos
[12:32] <SingAlong> so that i can transfer it to my laptop and then install it
[12:32] <nibbler_> gizmo_the_great: vmstat shows you the real i/o it makes, give a parameter 1 or 60 r so or so
[12:32] <indus> Dr_Willis: just inserting the cd in a running ubuntu will auto start the package manager
[12:32] <zebastian> ActionParsnip surely there is a way of fixing this, even if through the shell
[12:33] <indus> zebastian: so what happened
[12:33] <nsdiogfdshiuofgh> Hey.
[12:33] <indus> nsdiogfdshiuofgh: hey
[12:33] <zebastian> i tried to install an ati driver
[12:33] <nsdiogfdshiuofgh> Can someone help me with this? 'Database ERROR:Table 'snort.iphdr' doesn't exist'
[12:33] <zebastian> it didn't isntall well and it went into low graphic mode
[12:33] <SingAlong> http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/NetworkManager/0.7/ will downloading a pkg from there and doing ./configure, make and sudo make install do?
[12:33] <zebastian> then i entered some inputs actionparsnip said would restore to defaults
[12:34] <zebastian> then i couldn't get xorg or the x to load
[12:34] <dvinchi____> why zebastian
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> zebastian: you can boot to recovery mode root console and run: nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf    and change te driver line in the video card section to vesa
[12:34] <zebastian> so ActionParsnip told me to go on recovery mode and restore to default
[12:34] <dvinchi____> vesa always work
[12:34] <zebastian> ok hold on
[12:35] <zebastian> i'm on the recovery mode menu, do i choose drop to shell prompt with networking ?
[12:35] <beeble1> SingAlong: I don't know much but maybe try "sudo apt-get source network-manager" and compiling on the other comp?
[12:35] <Aijse> yes
[12:35] <zebastian> drop to root shell prompt with networking*
[12:36] <zebastian> ?
[12:36] <doktoreas> which log should I use to check for a complete freeze of the machine?
[12:36] <tavi> back
[12:36] <Aijse> zebastian, yes

[12:38] <leaf-sheep> Zehava: amd64? Flood this channel with details, please.
[12:38] <SingAlong> beeble1: k. i downloaded the networkmanager manually from the gnome site.
[12:38] <indus> Dr_Willis: :) hello
[12:38] <Dr_Willis> indus:  i tend to watch stuff at that Justin.tv site (i think thats the url)
[12:38] <beeble1> indus I know of hulu, fancast, otherwise youtube has a channels section
[12:38] <SingAlong> beeble1: it needs gettext to compile it seems
[12:38] <shema> hi
[12:38] <SingAlong> beeble1: so downloading that too.
[12:39] <tavi> justin tv i know
[12:39] <zebastian> Aijse after that?

[12:39] <indus> beeble1: ya channels for america and europe
[12:39] <Zehava> leaf-sheep Intel processor, SB Live sound card.  Sound works for notification of messages with pigin and startup/shutdown just not with flash.
[12:39] <tavi> ok
[12:39] <SingAlong> beeble1: when i add source keyword to the apt-get command where's the source saved?
[12:39] <indus> tavi: yes youtube has newly started a channel section
[12:39] <zebastian> Aijse i'm not used to cli, can you be more specific
[12:39] <Aijse> zebastian, and change the driver from ati or fglrx to vesa
[12:39] <tavi> let's visit one
[12:40] <tavi> indus and what's about there?
[12:40] <leaf-sheep> Zehava: i386 or Flash64? You installed Flash via how?
[12:40] <leaf-sheep> amd64*
[12:40] <indus> tavi: doesnt play in my country
[12:40] <tavi> well
[12:40] <tavi> ok
[12:40] <tavi> and what's your country
[12:40] <tavi> ?
[12:40] <beeble1> SingAlong: I apologize, i'm rather new as well, only really have helpful Idea's
[12:40] <Aijse> zebastian, hold down your downarrow key
[12:40] <indus> hulu is the worst
[12:40] <indus> tavi: india
[12:40] <SingAlong> beeble1: thanks anyway :)
[12:40] <Aijse> zebastian and it scrolls down, scroll down to devices
[12:40] <zebastian> Aijse nothing happens
[12:41] <Zehava> leaf-sheep I installed flash from the flash site, version 10.something
[12:41] <Zehava> firefox is the latest update 3.5.something
[12:41] <leaf-sheep> Zehava: Please run "uname -a" in the terminal and paste.
[12:41] <SingAlong> is there anyway to connect to wifi without network manager?
[12:41] <SingAlong> via commandline
[12:41] <indus> SingAlong: wicd
[12:42] <zebastian> Aijse i see a white background black letters top line that says gnu nano
[12:42] <Slurpee> if I am moving a bunch of files from one server to another....how can I get same file permissions?
[12:42] <Zehava> Linux Ubuntu-8 2.6.28-15-generic #49-Ubuntu SMP Tue Aug 18 18:40:08 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
[12:42] <indus> SingAlong: sorry wvdial
[12:42] <leaf-sheep> indus: wicd can do commandlines too?
[12:42] <Weust`> Slurpee: rsync
[12:42] <zebastian> underneath there's an underline cursor
[12:42] <indus> !info wvdial
[12:42] <SingAlong> indus: my connection name is Akash-secure so how do i connect to it?
[12:42] <indus> leaf-sheep: well,i think all linux apps do have cli
[12:42] <Slurpee> rsync will keep file permissions and scp wont?
[12:42] <zebastian> and on the bottom there's g get help, o write out, j justify
[12:42] <jakes> Hey guys does ubuntu have prob lems processing sound?
[12:42] <Aijse> zebastian, probably you made a typo and opened an empty doc
[12:42] <leaf-sheep> Zehava: Okay. Can you remove whatever it is you installed from Flash 10 site?
[12:42] <beeble1> SingAlong a quick look at the man files of apt-get suggests that they may be in /var/cache/apt/archives/ so you might try there till you get better advice
[12:42] <Weust`> Slurpee: check the man, it can
[12:42] <leaf-sheep> indus: I see.
[12:43] <Zehava> leaf-sheep I should be able to figure out how, give me a moment
[12:43] <SingAlong> indus: both wcid and wvdial say command not found
[12:43] <Slurpee> k cool thanx
[12:43] <Weust`> np
[12:43] <zebastian> Aijse it says File: /etc/x11/xorg.conf
[12:43] <tavi> ok
[12:43] <indus> SingAlong: which command?
[12:43] <zebastian> how do i go back?
[12:43] <SingAlong> beeble1: it would be better if i could just connect to wireless via command line and the job is simpler
[12:43] <tavi> i need more sites similar to hulu
[12:43] <Aijse> zebastian, X not x
[12:43] <SingAlong> indus: both wvdial and wcid say command not found
[12:43] <indus> tavi: try dailymotion too
[12:43] <zebastian> Aijse how do i go b
[12:43] <zebastian> ack?
[12:43] <SingAlong> indus: do those work only with network manager installed>
[12:43] <SingAlong> indus: ?
[12:43] <indus> SingAlong: did u install it ?
[12:43] <SingAlong> indus: no.
[12:43] <tavi> ok
[12:43] <indus> SingAlong: no they are separate
[12:44] <Aijse> zebastian, in X11 not x11, now use ctrl-x
[12:44] <indus> !wifi | SingAlong
[12:44] <Aijse> and don't save changes if any
[12:44] <leaf-sheep> SingAlong: There also are wpa_sufflicant and wireless-tools (iwconfig)
[12:44] <tavi> i will try to put a cable because my video board has tv in i think
[12:44] <SingAlong> indus: i'm downloading gettext on my comp to compile network manager source on my netbook.
[12:44] <indus> SingAlong: do read that link before anything
[12:44] <Slurpee> this will preserver file permissions as well? "-p      Preserves modification times, access times, and modes from the original file."
[12:44] <SingAlong> indus: k
[12:44] <indus> SingAlong: why dont you install network manager from synaptic?
[12:45] <zebastian> Aijse so nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[12:45] <zebastian> ok i think that's it, now i scroll down till i find what?
[12:45] <SingAlong> indus: because my netbook doesnt have an internet connection now. :) I'm on my desktop.
[12:45] <indus> SingAlong: ya ok
[12:46] <Aijse> zebastian, yes but its usefull if you know what you are doing when using a command, nano is a text editing program that works in the comand line, so what you do is open a doc and change its content there.
[12:46] <leaf-sheep> SingAlong: You mean the nm-applet isn't working?
[12:46] <indus> SingAlong: he deleted the package
[12:46] <sweRascal> quit
[12:46] <sweRascal> exit
[12:46] <indus> leaf-sheep: he deleted it
[12:46] <SingAlong> leaf-sheep: i removed the network-manager-gnome pkg by mistake while installing lxde
[12:46] <Aijse> zebastian, you scroll down in the text file to a section Devices
[12:46] <leaf-sheep> indus: Ah-ha. Silly sheep.
[12:47] <zebastian> ok got it
[12:47] <zebastian> now what do i do
[12:47] <indus> SingAlong: why dont use the one with lxde then
[12:47] <SingAlong> leaf-sheep: i installed lxnm, which removed the network-manager-gnome pkg.
[12:47] <zebastian> it says section device identifier underneath
[12:47] <zebastian> and configured video device in quotations
[12:47] <leaf-sheep> SingAlong: Long to configure via terminal.  Longer if you have encrypted wireless.  Longest because you have to figure how to use it.
[12:47] <indus> SingAlong: wvdial is for modem based connections so .....
[12:47] <Aijse> zebastian, under the section devices you see all kind of options of your video card.
[12:48] <SingAlong> indus: dunno. that thing doesnt work with wifi
[12:48] <SingAlong> indus: oh
[12:48] <Aijse> zebastian, change the driver from ati or fglrx or so to vesa
[12:48] <indus> SingAlong: the network-manager gnome can be instaleld again maybe
[12:48] <indus> SingAlong: it must be on the systme still
[12:48] <SingAlong> leaf-sheep: ya my wifi is encrypted.
[12:48] <indus> SingAlong: sudo apt-get install
[12:48] <leaf-sheep> SingAlong: Try what indus suggest earlier... wcid something.
[12:48] <zebastian> Aijse how do i get into the section device, i can't go into it with the arrows
[12:49] <SingAlong> indus: anyway. i'm compiling and installing getext which is a dependency to compile network manager. i just copied both the sources to the netbook to compile and install.
[12:49] <Aijse> zebastian, can u scroll with mouse or page up - down keys
[12:49] <SingAlong> leaf-sheep: both wvdial and wcid say command not found
[12:49] <zebastian> but once i get to section device
[12:49] <zebastian> what do i do
[12:50] <leaf-sheep> SingAlong: It mean they're not installed. You shouldn't need source codes.  Use the repo.  Also, can you paste the /etc/network/interfaces?
[12:50] <indus> SingAlong: i think sudo apt-get install  network-manager-gnome
[12:50] <Aijse> zebastian, vesa is a driver that is very stable and works with all ati cards, so you change the driver to vesa.
[12:50] <SingAlong> leaf-sheep: k
[12:51] <Aijse> zebastian, you will have a very low performance driver but atleast you get your desktop back and from there try to get proper drivers.
[12:51] <zebastian> Aijse but how do i gto to do that, again i am not used to cli, os i see a cursor and i can go up and down the file
[12:51] <zebastian> but i can't figure how to change or even see the drivers
[12:51] <Aijse> zebastian, go down with your cursor
[12:51] <indus> SingAlong: so why cant you add the usb as a repo?
[12:51] <Aijse> zebastian, further then the lowest line on your screen
[12:51] <SingAlong> indus: when i select "add cdrom" it waits for a cdrom to be added
[12:52] <indus> SingAlong: hmm
[12:52] <zebastian> Aijse on the lowest line is end section after section monitor, etc
[12:52] <SingAlong> is there anyway to add a .tar.gz file to synaptic to install?
[12:52] <indus> SingAlong: 1 min
[12:53] <SingAlong> indus: k
[12:53] <zebastian> under section "screen" i have identifier: default screen, monitor: configured monitor and device configured video device
[12:53] <x404x> on xubuntu i cant resize or maximize games windows, why ?
[12:53] <SingAlong> indus: the add downloaded pkg option doesnt take the tag file
[12:53] <zebastian> Aijse i am apologize, i'm su re this is frustrating and it was not my intention, i'm trying to figure out things here
[12:53] <indus> SingAlong: no its not possible for tar files
[12:53] <zebastian> sorry+
[12:54] <Zehava> leaf-sheep Okay flash is uninstalled
[12:54] <indus> SingAlong: as far as i know its not possible
[12:54] <Aijse> zebastian, there must be a section Section "Device"
[12:54] <zebastian> yes
[12:54] <zebastian> but if i move the cursor over it
[12:54] <zebastian> it only moves
[12:54] <deejaydblock> somebody please help me before i shoot myself. i have no idea what to do. i can't participate in the chat activity in the channel
[12:54] <Aijse> zebastian and if there is not we should make 1
[12:54] <zebastian> there's no other option
[12:54] <SingAlong> indus: oh ya figured out. downloaded the deb file here http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/network-manager-gnome/download
[12:54] <JulioNeto> hi all!
[12:54] <deejaydblock> not this channel
[12:54] <beeble1> SingAlong: after toying around with term for a min, I may have come across something, if there's no objections otherwise try "sudo apt-get source -b network-manager" supposedly that'll build you a deb
[12:54] <leaf-sheep> Zehava: Run in the terminal --> sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree
[12:54] <zebastian> there is one Aijse
[12:54] <Aijse> zebastian, yes, its a text editor like I told
[12:54] <beeble1> SingAlong: heh, I'm always just a min too late
[12:55] <indus> SingAlong: ya that is good , but make sure you have all dependencies downloaded too
[12:55] <nsdiogfdshiuofgh> Some help would be really appreciated.
[12:55] <zebastian> so i write or substitute something?
[12:55] <indus> SingAlong: i suggest wicd because it has no gnome dependencies except gtk
[12:55] <zebastian> it looks like this
[12:55] <zebastian> Section "Device"
[12:55] <Aijse> zebastian, you have to go with your cursor to the place whre it says  Driver      "ati"
[12:55] <indus> nsdiogfdshiuofgh: whats the problem
[12:55] <zebastian> Aijse there's no place where it says driver ait
[12:56] <zebastian> ati*^
[12:56] <indus> nsdiogfdshiuofgh: could you post your question please
[12:56] <JulioNeto> Guys... I'm running a dual-boot here, but I'll remove the Windows partition... is there any problem with that?
[12:56] <Aijse> zebastian, is there a place where it says driver "anything" ?
[12:56] <zebastian> there's section device identifier, "configured video device"
[12:56] <indus> JulioNeto: yes, wont be able to boot windows :)
[12:56] <Xunil> Hello, does anybody know why compositing for KDE doesn't work (fglrx driver) in OpenGL-Mode while it does in XRender? The strange thing is OpenGL worked fine until I tried out "shared memory" in OpenGL-Settings - since then, OpenGL doesn't work any longer
[12:56] <Lartza_> How do I remove/replace false albumart from mp3's?
[12:57] <zebastian> Aijse nope,
[12:57] <legend2440> zebastian: under where it says    Identifier     "Configured Video Device"  add this   Driver         "vesa"
[12:57] <jakes> does ubuntu have problems processing sound?
[12:57] <JulioNeto> indus, I'll remove it... I don't want it anymore =)
[12:57] <leaf-sheep> jakes: No. It is just you.
[12:57] <indus> JulioNeto: no problem if u remove
[12:57] <zebastian> legend2440 to the right?
[12:57] <zebastian> what's the format,
[12:57] <legend2440> under it new line
[12:58] <legend2440> Driver         "nvidia"
[12:58] <JulioNeto> indus, are you sure? .___.
[12:58] <legend2440> Driver         "vesa"
[12:58] <indus> JulioNeto: just delete /format the partition?
[12:58] <legend2440> zebastian: Driver  "vesa"
[12:58] <indus> leaf-sheep: funny reply :D to jakes
[12:58] <zebastian> legend2440 ok now what?
[12:58] <indus> jakes: what do you mean processing sound
[12:59] <legend2440> zebastian: ctrl + o
[12:59] <jakes> indus its like skipping and repeating when i play sound
[12:59] <Zehava> leaf-sheep I will run that in just a moment.  Guess it's not fully uninstalled as it still showing video in FF
[12:59] <leaf-sheep> indus: I know. It's obvious a problem he's having. :3
[12:59] <zebastian> legend2440 after that?
[12:59] <jakes> indus kinda like a skipping CD
[12:59] <indus> jakes: hmm could be pulseaudio related
[12:59] <legend2440> zebastian: ctrl + letter x
[12:59] <indus> jakes: any specific file?
[12:59] <Aijse> zebastian, reboot
[12:59] <jakes> youtube
[12:59] <leaf-sheep> Zehava: Using Firefox?  Close all browsers.
[13:00] <legend2440> zebastian: yes reboot
[13:00] <zebastian> legend2440 i get file name to write: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[13:00] <indus> jakes: youtube? hmm a flash issue probably, sound playing before viedeo etc?
[13:00] <JulioNeto> indus, nope... I'll REMOVE the partition and resize the Ubuntu's partition
[13:00] <jakes> im gonna try and restart firefox
[13:00] <indus> JulioNeto: hmm resize? <gulp>
[13:00] <legend2440> zebastian: hit enter
[13:00] <leaf-sheep> Zehava: Restart.  Ensure that it's not working.
[13:00] <zebastian> legend2440 Aijse i can't get out, like i edited what you told me and then after control o
[13:00] <leaf-sheep> Zehava: I mean (Restart the browsers).
[13:00] <Zehava> leaf-sheep yes I closed all and restarted and it was still there.  I"m double checking all plugins directories now
[13:00] <jakes> indus it was firefox issue fixed
[13:00] <belaid77> Hellow
[13:00] <indus> JulioNeto: there is no problem removing windows, just make sure grub doesnt mess up
[13:01] <zebastian> to reboot ctrl alt del ?
[13:01] <JulioNeto> indus, how I do that? '-'
[13:01] <indus> jakes: ya its either ffox or flash
[13:01] <belaid77> french ?
[13:01] <zebastian> ok restarting
[13:01] <indus> JulioNeto: nvm., go ahead ,nothing will happen
[13:01] <JulioNeto> indus, thanks :D
[13:01] <indus> JulioNeto: tell me how to resize
[13:01] <beeble1> I thought grub only messed up when windows was installed, not removed

[13:02] <leaf-sheep> Zehava: Run "about:plugins" in the Firefox Address Bar -- See if the plugins are included.
[13:02] <leaf-sheep> Zehava: Oh alright. ;)
[13:03] <zebastian> legend2440 Aijse i tried rebooting normally, and i get two blurry ubuntu signs after the splash screen and a pixelated green stripe on the top but onthing happens

[13:04] <Timothe> I know
[13:04] <zebastian> legend2440, did i do something wrong?
[13:04] <indus> Timothe: but there is a channel ubuntu+1
[13:04] <Timothe> but I was sure it would atleast start up after upgrading
[13:04] <Aijse> zebastian, then im not sure if you saved the file we edited correctly
[13:04] <leaf-sheep> JulioNeto: You're going to resize it on LiveCD, right?
[13:04] <Slurpee> if I am SCPing a lot of files....it goes slow because it has to transfer all the files seperatly.  if I use the compress flag.  Will it compress the files into 1 file and then snd that?
[13:04] <indus> Timothe: post in the karmic forums , you will behelped
[13:04] <zebastian> Aijse ok i'm going to go back into recovery mode and check
[13:04] <JulioNeto> leaf-sheep, yep
[13:04] <Zehava> leaf-sheep Okay it says it's installed.  Test it in FF now?
[13:04] <leaf-sheep> JulioNeto: Good. Making sure.
[13:04] <Pici> indus: We have a channel here, #ubuntu+1
[13:04] <leaf-sheep> Zehava: Yes.
[13:05] <indus> Timothe: iam not sure the ubuntu+1 IS very active now

[13:06] <jakes> python?
[13:07] <rekcya> nebudu
[13:07] <Dr_Willis> jakes:  if you are new to programing - you may want to go learn python. its a handy language to learn
[13:07] <SingAlong> even compiling gettext doesnt work
[13:07] <beeble1> abys https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft
[13:07] <Myrtti> jakes: several different languages
[13:07] <leaf-sheep> Zehava: But the sounds does work for others? Like you said earlier.
[13:07] <jakes> Dr_Willis, i think i'm going to but, is it worth it? I mean will have much more control over my programs?
[13:08] <JonathanElli1> !pastebinit
[13:08] <abys> yes ?
[13:08] <Zehava> correct, sound notifications from pigin, testing in sound settings, startup and shutdown sounds...
[13:08] <zebastian> Aijse, just opened it, when i go to Section "device" underneath device there's identifier and to the right there's configured video device" underneath i wrote driver and then "vesa"
[13:08] <rekcya> sosite xuj
[13:08] <zebastian> then underneath that end section
[13:08] <Myrtti> rekcya: please use English
[13:08] <zebastian> should vesa be in capitals?
[13:08] <Zehava> leaf-sheep I have used the 'test' button in sound settings and it works fine along wiht my pigin notifications, they are both working as of right now still
[13:08] <indus> jakes: if you know python you can work for ubuntu
[13:08] <indus> jakes: from home :)
[13:09] <jakes> work for?
[13:09] <Dr_Willis> jakes:   python is very handy.
[13:09] <indus> jakes: canonical
[13:09] <Dr_Willis> jakes:  good for little and big tasks.
[13:09] <abys> beeble1 : ye ?
[13:09] <jakes> indus i'm sure they don't employ that many people
[13:09] <Dr_Willis> jakes:  if you are planingon doing lots of programing. You will want to learn many diffrent languages.
[13:09] <Myrtti> indus: you're getting a bit ahead of things
[13:09] <indus> jakes: python is used to 'glue' together a lot of ubuntu paackages
[13:09] <leaf-sheep> Zehava: Right now, I'm looking at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash#Troubleshooting --> See if that will help you.  In Sound section.
[13:09] <zebastian> Aijse should the v in vesa be capital?
[13:10] <indus> jakes: try python its a nice language to learn, easy
[13:10] <Aijse> zebastian, no no capitals, let me have a moment to figure
[13:10] <jakes> I do not have the time to go to college and learn programming can i still be good at it?
[13:10] <leaf-sheep> Zehava: You use VLC?
[13:10] <FloodBot3> !netsplit
[13:10] <indus> jakes: yes you can
[13:10] <rekcya> jajajajajajaajajajaja
[13:10] <rekcya> hahahahahahaha
[13:10] <indus> jakes: start  with the official python tutorials
[13:10] <indus> jakes: www.python.org
[13:11] <leaf-sheep> Zehava: You use VLC?
[13:11] <Zehava> leaf-sheep I have before but not since this install
[13:11] <jakes> alright i will
[13:11] <abys> i started with perl
[13:11] <indus> jakes: you can work on maybe some ubuntu packages and get your hands dirty
[13:11] <alkisg> I want to scp some files with mode=0400 from PC1 to PC2, while preserving attributes. How can I do that? scp -rp root@PC2 . ?
[13:11] <alkisg> *with sudo in front?
[13:11] <indus> jakes: and if u learn enough, ill get you a job provided you move to india :)
[13:11] <Aijse> zebastian, device should with Capital, and Driver aswell
[13:11] <leaf-sheep> Zehava: I see. There also are "mozilla-plugin-vlc" --- That is plugins for multi format sounds and videos.
[13:12] <Myrtti> alkisg: perhaps with rsync over ssh you might be able to do that
[13:12] <jakes> indus, haha i think i will stay here but thank you
[13:12] <Dr_Willis> can one even do 'sudo scp ' in ubuntu? since root on the box has no password?
[13:12]  * leaf-sheep rides the waves! Up and down! Up and down! WIPEOUT! :<
[13:12] <zebastian> Aijse should vesa have a capital v?
[13:12] <Aijse> zebastian, no
[13:12] <zebastian> aijse, there's a notice at the top of the file would you like me to read it to you?
[13:12] <alkisg> Myrtti: can't it be done with scp, to avoid installing rsync (I want to copy them to a dozen clients...)?
[13:12] <indus> Dr_Willis: hmm ?
[13:13] <Aijse> zebastian, no its prety standard
[13:13] <Zehava> leaf-sheep installing now
[13:13] <leaf-sheep> Zehava: I'm hoping we'll have to avoid configuring weird stuffs because generally that should work right away when you installed the flash plugin.
[13:13] <leaf-sheep> Zehava: Or it's just flash issue solely?
[13:13] <Dr_Willis> indus:  if you scp  whatever root@remotebox    it wouls want the 'root' users password. not the admin users sudo password. Or am i missing somthing :)
[13:13] <Zehava> I've had trouble with getting flash to work in FF in every install I've tried in the past 6 months
[13:13] <zebastian> Aijse, if what i wrote there before appeared this time it means i did save it right?
[13:13] <legend2440> zebastian:  it should look like this   Driver   "vesa"     dont forget the quotes around   vesa
[13:13] <SingAlong> is there any command to start network manager? (not the applet)
[13:13] <Dr_Willis> be the same as 'ssh root@remotebox' wouldent it?
[13:14] <indus> Dr_Willis: its correct, if that box haas a root user sure
[13:14] <Zehava> I've tried 3 different distributions...I want to keep ubuntu so hopeing we can get it to work
[13:14] <alkisg> What's the default?   I"m going through the instructions on the page you sent me now.
[13:15] <JonathanElli1> I have a problem with wifi on my laptop. I am running Ubuntu Hardy Heron on a Dell Latitude C610 with an Atheros AR2413 wifi card.

[13:15] <SilentJonathan> what are ppl using now days for music mp3s only (as usuall)
[13:15] <kubanc> i cannot adjust brightness in my ubuntu 8.10. Can anybody please help me !!!!!!!!!!!
[13:15] <SilentJonathan> i remember the days of winamp
[13:15] <alkisg> Dr_Willis: and maybe use tar for the attributes... Ugh, that will have to suffice :(
[13:15] <leaf-sheep> Zehava: Okay. Keep me updated. It *should* work right away.
[13:15] <indus> i thought rekcya was spam
[13:16] <indus> boom
[13:16] <MenZa> SilentJonathan: There's plenty of different programs you can use. Rockbox, banshee... I use audacious which is similar to WinAmp.
[13:16] <Zehava> leaf-sheep it use to in Fiesty
[13:16] <grawity> SilentJonathan: I used to use iTunes (for music) and Winamp (for unbreaking ID3 tags). Then I switched to foobar2000. Then I switched to Ubuntu and Banshee. [Then - Arch Linux and mpg123 on terminal]
[13:16] <grawity> SilentJonathan: Audacious (former xmms) is kinda Winamp-like, yeah
[13:16] <leaf-sheep> Zehava: What make/model?   I'd have to pull it out to get exacts, in the sound settings it shows it SBLive! Value[CT4871] (Alsa mixer)
[13:18] <clemente> qlc sa dirmi xkè qnd riavvio il pc ritorna sempre alla risoluzione iniziale
[13:18] <Zehava> leaf-sheep as for the PC it's self, I've put it together so it's a mix and match of parts
[13:18] <MenZa> clemente: Please go to #ubuntu-it for Italian support. :)
[13:18] <SingAlong_> yay! got network manager working under my netbook
[13:18] <SingAlong_> indus: thanks!
[13:18] <indus> SingAlong_: what did i do
[13:19] <SingAlong> indus: helped me around
[13:19] <SingAlong> indus: :)
[13:19] <indus> SingAlong_: aah that one
[13:19] <SingAlong> indus: now i'm on my netbook. :)
[13:19] <leaf-sheep> Zehava: Cool.  Also, meaning you're using alsa sounds. You finished adding alsa-oss and libflash support and such as instructed in the link I gave you?
[13:19] <deejaydblock> question. anyone else having performance issues with shiretoko in ubuntu 9.04?
[13:20] <SingAlong> indus: i needed a light weight de so i installed lxde. i still have lxde but net doesnt work on that
[13:20] <indus> SingAlong: hmm so now u have network manager on lxde?
[13:21] <SingAlong> indus: i just have the network-manager and network-manager-gnome pkg. installing the lxnm which is the network manager for lxde removes network-manager and network-manager-gnome which caused all these problems
[13:22] <jakes> indus what is beryl?
[13:22] <leaf-sheep> !beryl | jakes
[13:22] <SingAlong> jakes: some desktop pkg like compiz
[13:22] <Zehava> leaf-sheep I appologize I'm not that far yet.  I'm getting my kids ready for school at the same time so kinda back and forth
[13:22] <jakes> whats compiz?
[13:22] <lovelj> can i speak Chinese
[13:22] <jakes> lovelj no
[13:22] <leaf-sheep> Zehava: I understand. Sure thing. Get the kids to school first then you can do this part later. ;)
[13:22] <SingAlong> indus: i didnt know that there was lubuntu. ubuntu with lxde and the pkg is lubuntu-desktop
[13:23] <Myrtti> !cn | lovelj
[13:23] <grawity> jakes: Compiz is a window manager that Ubuntu uses.
[13:23] <lovelj> thanks
[13:23] <jakes> grawity, do you use it?
[13:23] <Zehava> leaf-sheep I try to install libflashsupport and it tells me there's no candidate for it...
[13:23] <deejaydblock> question. anyone else having performance issues with shiretoko in ubuntu 9.04?
[13:24] <grawity> jakes: I prefer the lighter Metacity. (Both Metacity and Compiz come with Ubuntu. Metacity is used when you disable all effects.)
[13:24] <Zehava> leaf-sheep gives me this as a possible alternative flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound
[13:24] <sadiq_> any info about "ath5k phy0: unsupported jumbo" in karmik ??????
[13:24] <Myrtti> !karmic | sadiq_
[13:24] <jakes> grawity how do i install compiz, synaptic?
[13:24] <leaf-sheep> !info flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound
[13:24] <grawity> jakes: They both already come with Ubuntu.
[13:25] <leaf-sheep> Zehava: Look above.  Sounds about right (especially the OSS part).
[13:25] <jakes> grawity, how do i use it then?
[13:26] <MenZa> jakes: Synaptic is in System -> Administration, Compiz is called "Desktop Effects" and can be setup through System -> Preferences -> Appearance
[13:28] <Zehava> leaf-sheep installing just that plugin didn't help.  After moving to the next step on this page you gave me, it says to alter the firefoxrc script....I don't have one! 0.o
[13:29] <leaf-sheep> Zehava: Also, I'm using amd64 and that package does not show up on my repo.  Interesting.
[13:29] <speedball> hello
[13:30] <leaf-sheep> Zehava: And I'm running out of solutions -- I don't know what I can supply you with. :\
[13:30] <obiwan_> hi please, i for my sake i can't set iwconfig anyway. Please don't tell me i can use networkmanager, i know it exists, but iwconfig must work too. sudo iwconfig eth1 mode monitor gives me error (Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
[13:30] <obiwan_>     SET failed on device eth1 ; Invalid argument.
[13:30] <obiwan_> ) . ANy setting i type says the same. My driver's not the problem cause networkmanager is able to connect, and i've got wireless-tools updated, so what can it be?

[13:31] <MenZa> speedball: Perhaps it'd be a good idea to state which webcam you currently have, so others can use that as a reference to start with.
[13:31] <aaron11> does anyone know why when ever i preform admin tasks it says unable to load xauthirisation file or some thing it worked yesterday but not today!
[13:31] <leaf-sheep> Zehava: If the file don't exist, it won't hurt to create new one.

[13:33] <aaron11> why did u turn it on in the first plays

[13:34] <Cybertinus> I have an Asus Eee 901. I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 on it (regular Ubuntu 9.04 with the netbook-remix interface. I haven't installed Ubuntu netbook-remix). I just created an encrypted partition on the SD-card (/dev/sdc) and added a line to /etc/crypttab. When I reboot the device isn't opened. What can be the cause of that?
[13:35] <obiwan_> hi please, i for my sake i can't set iwconfig anyway. Please don't tell me i can use networkmanager, i know it exists, but iwconfig must work too. sudo iwconfig eth1 mode monitor gives me error (Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) : SET failed on device eth1 ; Invalid argument.) .

[13:35] <Zehava> leaf-sheep that link still tells me to edit the firefoxrc scrips and i don't have a firefoxrc script that I can find.  locate shows me nothing and I have done sudo updatedb
[13:35] <leaf-sheep> Cybertinus: SD? The tiny card? It can't be open automatically because you didn't provide it a passphrase or a keyfile.
[13:35] <speedball> yeah aaron11

[13:36] <abys> does somebody knows if steam/ cs1.6 works ?
[13:36] <chickenhead> hello
[13:36] <Cybertinus> leaf-sheep: I did provide a keyfile :). I have a similar setup for /dev/sdb (the 8 GB SSD) and it works there ;). Now I want the same for /dev/sdc
[13:37] <leaf-sheep> Zehava: Jaunty 9.04, right?
[13:37] <sabat> I would like to make Super+f open firefox for me, and Super+t open a term, how would I go about doing this, properly...

[13:39] <Zehava> leaf-sheep I will give that a shot, thank you for your patience and help with this matter
[13:39] <kubanc> how do i install intel gprahic card on ubuntu?

[13:41] <scinty> hallo
[13:41] <Cybertinus> leaf-sheep: http://pastebin.org/17825
[13:42] <leaf-sheep> kubanc: Enable what you can in... Preferences --> Administration --> Hardware Drivers
[13:42] <Cybertinus> leaf-sheep: I've added the sdc1 line myself. I found the UUID of sdc by looking in /dev/disk/by-uuid, and then use a bit of grep and cut to get it into /etc/crypttab
[13:43] <leaf-sheep> Cybertinus: Can you tell me what you're trying to accomplish?
[13:43] <aaron11> speedball: u done yet it shouldednt take long
[13:43] <leaf-sheep> Cybertinus: I assumed you were able to unlock and mount the partition successfully manually? (That way we know the keyfile *do* work).
[13:44] <Cybertinus> leaf-sheep: yes, I can do it manually, so the keyfile is correct
[13:45] <leaf-sheep> Cybertinus: How about paste your /etc/fstab too?
[13:45] <entisar> hello
[13:47] <JonathanElli1> !hello | entisar
[13:47] <Cybertinus> leaf-sheep: I'm trying to get an complete encrypted Ubuntu install on my Eee 901. And I have 3 disks in there: /dev/sda (the 4 GB SSD), /dev/sdb (the 8 GB SSD) and /dev/sdc (an 8 GB SD card). /dev/sda and /dev/sdb are succesfully encrypted atm. /dev/mapper/sda2_crypt contains / and /dev/mapper/sdb1_crypt contains /usr. Now I'm trying to add a third encrypted partition, /dev/sdc1 (/dev/mappers/sdc1_crypt when it is opened) and it is going to
[13:47] <Cybertinus>  contain /home.
[13:47] <backkker> I put a new mount point in fstab, but the new partition does not show up in "places" menu.  what should I do ?
[13:47] <Cybertinus> leaf-sheep: Gonna pastebin my /etc/fstab now
[13:47] <kubanc> Leaf-sheep. My intel graphic card is not indicated in hardware drivers
[13:47] <leaf-sheep> sabat: Late response: Look in Keyboard Shortcuts in .... Preferences.
[13:47] <mobile> Test
[13:47] <Zehava> leaf-sheep still not working....man this is frustrating
[13:48] <leaf-sheep> Zehava: I agreed. You already have a working sound system.
[13:48] <Cybertinus> leaf-sheep: my /etc/fstab: http://pastebin.org/17826 (the last line is commented because of this problem ;) )
[13:49] <shos> Hello, how do I enable usb2 support on ubuntu jaunty 9.04 amd64?
[13:49] <Cybertinus> leaf-sheep: ah yes, /dev/sda1 is /boot, which is unencrypted (that is needed otherwise I can't boot ;) )
[13:51] <leaf-sheep> Cybertinus: You updated the initramfs too?
[13:51] <backkker> is it normal that partitions specified in fstab don't show up in "Places" menu?
[13:51] <leaf-sheep> Cybertinus: Might want to make a backup first before you do that. ;o
[13:51] <Cybertinus> leaf-sheep: no, I haven't updated the initramfs. How do I do that?
[13:52] <Cybertinus> leaf-sheep: no need for backups, there is no important information on my Eee 901. It is a fairly clean install
[13:53] <leaf-sheep> Cybertinus: If you don't backup and something goes wrong, then you'll have to do a clean installation again because you can be caught in a endless "bad cryptsetup options; retry" loop
[13:53] <leaf-sheep> Cybertinus: It's fairly enough.
[13:53] <leaf-sheep> easy*
[13:54] <DaHopi> hi @all, is it possible to remove the flag "linux_raid_member" from a disk / partition. partition was in a raid1 array, now i want to use it without raid..
[13:54] <leaf-sheep> Cybertinus: cd /boot/ ; ls -l init*
[13:54] <Logomachist> Hi room.
[13:54] <leaf-sheep> Cybertinus: Find the latest img. Do cp initrd.img-whatever initrd.img-whatever-backup
[13:54] <Cybertinus> leaf-sheep: I've got 2 initrd files there. one for 2.6.28-13 and one for 2.6.28-15
[13:55] <MenZa> Logomachist: Hello!
[13:55] <MenZa> 7w 61
[13:55] <Cybertinus> leaf-sheep: done.
[13:55] <leaf-sheep> Cybertinus: Make a new entry in your grub menu.lst (sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst)
[13:56] <leaf-sheep> Cybertinus: And paste your grub. :)
[13:57] <n-iCe> hi
[13:57] <kubanc> is there any fix if my video picture is not fluid ?
[13:57] <Logomachist> I used mdadm to create a mirrored RAID array from 2 drives. Because mdadm isn't built into the kernal I was told that I have to issue the command sudo mdadm --add /dev/md0 /dev/sda5 /dev/sdb5" where sda5 and sdb5 are the 2 partitions I want mirrored.
[13:57] <sabat> how can I get teh ip of my computers in my house[without the obvious getting off my lazy ass and go look] that are running windows, and have active shares? like in my kitchen, I have a pc, named Kitchen[real original I know] and I want to connect to it's vnc, I have it installed, but no idea what it's ip is...
[13:58] <leaf-sheep> Cybertinus: There are easier way to pastebin if you're not aware.  It's a package 'pastebinit' and to pastebinit, you do "cat file.txt | pastebinit"
[13:58] <cryptobeacon> hi! what is the linux-ports package?
[13:58] <sabat> I tried ping kitchen :D but that obviously failed
[13:58] <MenZa> sabat: Try connecting to "Kitchen.local"
[13:59] <Logomachist> However when I run that command I get the error "mdadm: error opening /dev/md0: No such file or directory"
[13:59] <Cybertinus> leaf-sheep: http://pastebin.ca/1565418 <-- my menu.lst
[13:59] <distinctblur> Sabat you have access to your router, many have client lists.
[13:59] <Logomachist> What am I missing?
[13:59] <Cybertinus> leaf-sheep: ok, gonna install that package now, thnx for the tip
[13:59] <grawity> sabat: smbclient -L?
[13:59] <grawity> MenZa: That requires having Avahi or Bonjour installed in both sides.
[13:59] <MenZa> grawity: Good point.
[14:00] <leaf-sheep> Cybertinus: Looks good -- Except -- Place it under ##### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST instead.
[14:00] <Ileden> I'm trying to set up a single-partition LVM (for testing purposes) I've so far created the partition /dev/mmcblk0p1 with fdisk, set the type to Linux LVM, checked /etc/lvm/lvm.conf to see that filters are ok, ran "vgchange -a y" - but when I try to run "pvcreate /dev/mmcblk0p1" it doesn't find the device... is there some step I'm missing here?
[14:00] <sabat> smbclient -L kitchen told me alot, but not the ip of the computer
[14:00] <shos> Hello, how do I enable usb2 support on ubuntu jaunty 9.04 amd64?
[14:00] <grawity> sabat: Did it tell you the hostname?
[14:00] <leaf-sheep> Cybertinus: Because you want to leave it out of magic (automatic) grub configuration. >_>
[14:00] <grawity> sabat: 'getent hosts <blah>
[14:01] <Cybertinus> leaf-sheep: ok. Moved it to below that line
[14:01] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[14:01] <leaf-sheep> Cybertinus: Okay. Do sudo update-grub -- You didn't get prompted, right?
[14:01] <sabat> that didn't seem to do anything
[14:02] <sabat> I have about 12 pc's in my house... I really odn't want to have to walk to each one to get the ip's.
[14:02] <Cybertinus> leaf-sheep: ok, I've run that command. It didn't prompt me for anything, I just got my bashprompt back after it did a few things (like finding a few kernels)
[14:03] <leaf-sheep> Cybertinus: Good. Now, if you didn't place it under the AUTOMATIC KERNEL LIST, you'd get prompted. ;)
[14:03] <leaf-sheep> Now we're going to update the init
[14:03] <sabat> ya, nothing seems to be doing this yet.
[14:03] <ljungk> is it possible to reinstall the MBR on a mounted partition (i don't have a live-cd)?
[14:03] <Cybertinus> leaf-sheep: ok, then I placed it a the correct spot :)
[14:03] <leaf-sheep> Cybertinus: Do "sudo update-initramfs -u all"
[14:03] <sabat> I keep trying variations of those commands, but nothing is telling me the ip
[14:03] <Cybertinus> leaf-sheep: ok, running it now
[14:03] <Zehava> leaf-sheep every darn tutorial or fix I can find says to edit the firefoxrc file and I don't have one heh
[14:03] <sabat> and my router doens't tell me a client list, because I don't run dhcp. they're static set ip's.
[14:04] <leaf-sheep> Cybertinus: When you're done, pray and reboot.
[14:04] <leaf-sheep> Zehava: Create a new one.
[14:04] <Zehava> what do I put in it?
[14:04] <sabat> I know all of the computers windows share names, but I don't know the individual computer ip's
[14:04] <Zehava> just this one line?
[14:04] <leaf-sheep> Zehava: Yes. Even just one line.
[14:04] <Zehava> okie I'll give it a shot
[14:04] <grawity> sabat: 'ping hostname' might work?
[14:04] <sabat> nope
[14:04] <Cybertinus> leaf-sheep: ok. It created a new /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-15-generic file, so it looks like it is updated. Gonna reboot my Eee now (I'm IRCing on my big, normal laptop, so I'll stay online ;) )
[14:05] <sabat> That was first and most obvious thing I tried
[14:05] <onotole> hi to all =)
[14:06] <grawity> And if nothing works, there's still the nmap -sP <IP_ADDRESS>-255 way.
[14:06] <distinctblur_> Sabat ^this
[14:06] <sabat> aha
[14:06] <sabat> nmblookup kitchen
[14:06] <sabat> found it
[14:07] <leaf-sheep> Cybertinus: I wonder if you did uncomment out the fstab part?
[14:07] <cornet> sabat: does kettle.kitchen and fridge.kitchen work also ?
[14:07] <Zehava> leaf-sheep I created it.  No help as of yet
[14:08] <backkker> anyone knows what I should do to get my storage partition to show up in "places" menu? it's mounted automatically on boot but the only way to access it is by browsing to it from /
[14:08] <Cybertinus> leaf-sheep: it stayed commented. Shall I create a new initrd file with that line uncommented?
[14:08] <Cybertinus> leaf-sheep: I did go offline because the IRC client on my laptop chrashed :p. It wasn't my plan to go offline ;)
[14:08] <leaf-sheep> Cybertinus: Probably. The bootup didn't work?
[14:08] <leaf-sheep> Cybertinus: Lies. :)
[14:10] <Cybertinus> leaf-sheep: it booted fine, only /dev/sdc1 didn't get opened automatically :(
[14:10] <dassouki> is there a tool out there that allows me to block certain sites on my computer in certain hours ?
[14:10] <sabat> awesome, I added them to my hosts file, and now I can use ping kitchen just like I used to
[14:11] <leaf-sheep> dassouki: Most home routers should have that feature.
[14:11] <backkker> I was able to get it to show up in 'places'. it's not the solution i was looking for.  it turns out that the mount point has to be in /media
[14:11] <Cybertinus> leaf-sheep: rebooting again
[14:12] <dassouki> leaf-sheep: i'm not at home, i want to block my pc from certain news site in the morning.
[14:12] <kubanc> can i use settings for graphic card for ubuntu 9.04, but i have installed 8.04
[14:13] <leaf-sheep> dassouki: Can you access your computer via ssh?
[14:13] <MadSeaDog> where do mail from mailutils check the mail? is it user@computername ? how can i sent externally to it?
[14:13] <Cybertinus> leaf-sheep: it didn't work. I had /dev/sdc1 opened, and I had the /etc/fstab line uncommented, but it still didn't automatically opened and mounted /dev/sdc1 :(
[14:14] <dassouki> leaf-sheep: i'm working and i get distracted by some news sites. so i'm wondering if i can block myself from them
[14:16] <leaf-sheep> dassouki: I'm certainly there are Firefox Addon to block the sites.  Even Firefox Security should have the option.
[14:16] <leaf-sheep> Cybertinus: I'll paste you my fstab + cryptsetup so you can see how it should looks like.
[14:16] <Cybertinus> leaf-sheep: ok, thnx :)
[14:16] <Zehava> leaf-sheep well, I don't have sound in my mp3 player either....
[14:17] <Cybertinus> leaf-sheep: on what kind of computer do you use this setup? Also on a Eee 901?
[14:17] <twiadpaws> Hi
[14:17] <twiadpaws> I'm running Ubuntu besides XP and Vista. I haven't carefully calculated the size of the partitions. Therefore I'm stuck with a partition that's far too small. I therefore would like to resize my entire Harddisk. Say, more size to the Vista partition, and less size to a NTFS partition on which data is stored. How is that to be done the best way possible?
[14:17] <leaf-sheep> Zehava: Err so it wasn't just a flash issue?
[14:17] <leaf-sheep> Cybertinus: No. I use it as a home theater PC.
[14:17] <Cybertinus> leaf-sheep: ok
[14:17] <Zehava> leaf-sheep I guess not.  I have system sounds, but not mp3 player or flash at the moment, not sure what else to test it with
[14:18] <tavi> Isomeone knowing well gsopcast

[14:18] <prodigel> hi all. I've just installed w32codecs to be able to play some wma files, and I still get no sound. I'm trying to play them with vlc, using ubuntu 9.04. The final purpose is to burn them on audio cds - using k3b. Any ideas? thanks

[14:20] <leaf-sheep> Cybertinus: http://pastebin.com/f69461bfb + http://pastebin.com/f1e685694
[14:20] <zamba> jonathan__: i believe you're in the wrong channel
[14:21] <jonathan__> why
[14:21] <zamba> jonathan__: this is for ubuntu
[14:21] <zamba> jonathan__: not for windows
[14:21] <jonathan__> i have ubuntu installed
[14:21] <Dr_Willis> jonathan__:  then use ubuntu. :)
[14:21] <zamba> jonathan__: yeah, but you need help installing xp and that's not exactly ubuntu related
[14:21] <jonathan__> i just want someone to help me put xp back on
[14:21] <zamba> jonathan__: wrong channel
[14:21] <Dr_Willis> There is a #windows channel
[14:21] <Pici> jonathan__: ##windows would be the best place to ask.
[14:21] <leaf-sheep> Zehava: Run "sudo alsactl init" then "alsamixer"  -- Check all bars.  Make sure all of them are high and if you see blue MM, toggle 'm' to unmute it and ESC to save and quit. Then "sudo alsactl store"
[14:21] <bazhang> jonathan__, ##windows please
[14:21] <jonathan__> ur a bunch of cocks cos the people on the Mint channel always help
[14:22] <jonathan__> so go fuk ur selfs
[14:22] <Dr_Willis> Wow..  how nice.
[14:22] <bazhang> jonathan__, that language is not acceptable here
[14:22] <Myrtti> jonathan__: did you need help in restoring the grub?
[14:22] <Dr_Willis> I found the Mint channels.. dead.. but whatever.
[14:22] <sipior> full moon tonight?
[14:23]  * sipior looks out the window
[14:23] <n-iCe> sipior: is it night there?
[14:23] <Dr_Willis> Guess he couldent pop in the cd and reboot......
[14:23] <leaf-sheep> Cybertinus: It's a bit different but you should make a backup of fstab and try that.
[14:23] <Myrtti> or perhaps you asked/told him the wrong things
[14:23] <Myrtti> but moving on
[14:23] <b1shop> this procedure seems to be broke for 9.10... any tips?  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
[14:23] <Myrtti> !karmic | b1shop
[14:23] <Cybertinus> leaf-sheep: yes, indeed. You use the UUID's of every disk. I'm using the device-names. But that should be doable
[14:24] <wWales> how do i stop wine from changing the refresh rate?
[14:24] <Dr_Willis> Myrtti:  he specifically asked how to reinstall windows from cd..  But perhaps he should of gone and asked in #mint :P
[14:24] <Dr_Willis> wWales:  you mean the screen mode/res/and rates?
[14:24] <wWales> yes
[14:24] <leaf-sheep> Cybertinus: The differences is that /dev/mapper/whatever aren't accessible until you successfully open the cryptsetups. >_>
[14:25] <Myrtti> Dr_Willis: what his question might have also been is "how do I restore GRUB after installing Windows on my dualboot", he just didn't get that far before people jumped to saying he should ask in ##windows
[14:25] <Dr_Willis> wWales:  ive never noticed it changing the rates.. but all my games i tend to run 'windowed'  they seem to work better
[14:25] <aksci> do i need to register to post on ##c++ or ##c freenode channels?
[14:25] <wWales> Dr_Willis: when i run fullscreen it changes to a rate outside my refresh range
[14:26] <Myrtti> aksci: because the operators of the channels have chosen to set the channels like so
[14:26] <Dr_Willis> wWales:  Hmm..  Cant say ive ever seen it do that. But i am running DVI LCD monitors.
[14:26] <Dr_Willis> aksci:  so yes you do need to register to get to some channels
[14:26] <Cybertinus> leaf-sheep: yeah, indeed. But why does that work for /dev/sdb and not for /dev/sdc?
[14:27] <leaf-sheep> Cybertinus: /dev/sdb is a hard drive, right?
[14:27] <tavi> how i put gsocast in my ubuntu?
[14:27] <Cybertinus> leaf-sheep: yes it is, the 8 GB SSD
[14:27] <tavi> gsopcast
[14:27] <aksci> Dr_Willis: Myrtti: please tell me how to register for them? any link or any irc function! i'm really not getting how to get in!
[14:27] <Cybertinus> leaf-sheep: so it is a driver that is loaded to late?
[14:27] <leaf-sheep> Cybertinus: Okay. /dev/sdc is a SD card.  Basically the thing you can unplug, right?
[14:27] <tattoodu91> bonjour
[14:27] <leaf-sheep> Cybertinus: I think so.  Modules.
