[00:00] <mikel> jj_galves: use the 32bit ubuntu lol. with the newer version of most linux distro's intrepid included there realy isent a need for 64bit os
[00:00] <Lars_G> ?nvidia
[00:00] <xaris> hi i can i have a dual core laptop with 3 gb ram but i run a 32 bit Windows can i download and install a 64 bit linux?
[00:00] <sken_> does anybody know about this issue? http://news.softpedia.com/news/Linux-Kernel-Regression-in-Ubuntu-8-10-Upgrade-Now-96839.shtml
[00:00] <unr3a1> jj_galvex: still nothing.  startx gets no screens detected
[00:00] <kholerabbi> mikel: this has been tested under wine?
[00:00] <mikel> xaris: if your processor is a 32bit proc it will run 64bit ubuntu but again no need
[00:00] <DIFH-iceroot> xaris: yes you can use linux 64 bit if you already have win32
[00:00] <Lars_G> xaris: if the laptop is 64bit you can run 64bit linux on it.
[00:00] <mikel> kholerabbi i used wine 1.1.2 and it worked fine
[00:00] <cloud-ieee> Can someone PLEASE help me view wmv files in Ubuntu 8.10??? I've tried everything :P
[00:01] <zamba> i'm having problems getting flash working in ubuntu.. i've installed the flashplugin-nonfree package and that pulls down with it nspluginwrapper.. is this correct?
[00:01] <zamba> cloud-ieee: installed mplayer?
[00:01] <ericrost> anyone have ideas to troubleshoot a partition not mounting @ boot on a server?
[00:01] <sken_> ?
[00:01] <sken_> hello ubu guys
[00:01] <Lars_G> Any tips for the 8.10 way to install nvidia video drivers? or should I just pull nvidia's installer?
[00:01] <cloud-ieee> Zamba, Mplayer gives me an error.
[00:01] <jj_galvez> unr3a1: sorry I'm out of ideas, hopefully someone else with more insight will pipe up
[00:01] <sken_> i want help with my songbird installation
[00:01] <zamba> cloud-ieee: you probably need the win32 codecs
[00:01] <xaris> Then i stay i 32 bit :)
[00:01] <MonkeyMan> What about how to fix intrepid that will not load gnome gui. Just sits there with whilte screen. Help
[00:01] <cloud-ieee> Zamba, already installed win32codecs
[00:01] <mercutio22> Lars_G> use envy-ng
[00:02] <xaris> Tnanx
[00:02] <jj_galvez> Lars_G: I used envyng -t last night and it worked fine
[00:02] <shad0w0fsin> HELP, can anyone give me a link to the default sources.list in intrepid I accidentally wiped it
[00:02] <xaris> :P
[00:02] <Lars_G> mercutio22: package?
[00:02] <Lars_G> I'll check it out
[00:02] <unr3a1> jj_galvez:  yea... I will probably end ip posting on linuxquestions
[00:02] <xaris> linux 8.10 is ok>?
[00:02] <unr3a1> end up*
[00:02] <unr3a1> I just dont get why this would happen
[00:03] <unr3a1> the upgrade was supposed to upgrade around my current configuration
[00:03] <mikel> monkeyman: you may not have the proper video drivers
[00:03] <Lars_G> Is there any way in aptitude to make all "Auto" packages as manual?
[00:03] <cloud-ieee> Zamba? :(
[00:03] <csilk> ahh figured it out > gnome-panel-screenshot --delay ARBITARY_INTEGER
[00:03] <jj_galvez> unr3a1: I had alot of trouble initially too, although mine was just going into low graphics mode not just so at least I had a graphics screen
[00:03] <unr3a1> I get nothing
[00:04] <mikel> xaris: intrepid is great it recodnised my hardware better than any distro thus far but if your running on a lappy i would check the bugs posts as ome lappys (including mine) seem to run very slow in intrepid
[00:04] <cloud-ieee> I did the restricted codecs bundle and everything
[00:04] <jj_galvez> unr3a1: have you tried to use an old xorg.conf file, there are usually a few old ones in your conf one of them might give you a start
[00:04] <unr3a1> yea, still didn't work
[00:04] <mikel> so any ideas why intrepid runs so slow on the CQ50 series laptops and others? iv read this is a common problem. What makes these laptops so different that they dont run the same?
[00:04] <unr3a1> I backed up my original xorg file
[00:04] <RickZilla> Amarok or Songbird?
[00:04] <unr3a1> tried loading that, but still nothing
[00:04] <MonkeyMan> All previous versions of ubuntu have worked with my system. I think what messed everything up was the upgrade inself which stalled out on me. Ended up doing a command line install and saw it happen. I bet I have to do a clean install. That stinks
[00:04] <nickrud> shad0w0fsin, try running system->admin->software sources, and rebuilding it that way
[00:04] <unr3a1> :-P
[00:04] <xaris> mikel ubuntu or opensuse?
[00:05] <unr3a1> does anyone else have any ideas?
[00:05] <kholerabbi> mikel: do you recommend the slowest write speed..?
[00:05] <xaris> kholerabbi:  always
[00:05] <jj_galvez> unr3a1: and your video driver is being loaded? can you see it with lsmod?
[00:05] <unr3a1> my x-server is not loading.  it says, that there are no screens detected and it says I cannot connect to the server
[00:05] <mikel> kholerabbi: i wrote at full speed but its up to you (slow CAN be safer)
[00:05] <mikel> xaris: ubuntu always
[00:05] <unr3a1> jj_galvez: haven't checked that to be honest...
[00:05] <unr3a1> let me check, brb
[00:05] <xaris> mikel the interface?
[00:05] <xaris> :P
[00:05] <mikel> xaris: never used suse tho but iv tried redhat
[00:06] <mikel> xaris: ubuntu's interface is insanly user friendly
[00:06] <shad0w0fsin> nickrud: thanks
[00:06] <mrono> who was i talking a few min ago about the desktop switcher settings
[00:06] <xaris> mikel i tried download 64 bit but when i finaly download 4.3 Gb and go to install it says that i dont have a 64bit computer W?oW
[00:07] <unr3a1> jj_galvez:  I am in command line.  it scrolls way to fast for me to see the whole lsmod
[00:07] <mikel> 4.3Gb? xaris what distro?
[00:07] <xaris> opensuse
[00:07] <jj_galvez> unr3a1: try lsmod|less
[00:08] <mikel> xaris: no clue man im a ubuntu user and this is ubuntu's tech chat lol
[00:08] <unr3a1> ok, brb
[00:08] <xaris> mikel i know:P
[00:08] <mikel> xaris: ubuntu= less than 700Mb and is great
[00:08] <mrono> is there a control panel like kcontrol from KDE for Gnome
[00:09] <mikel> xaris: also 32bit linux distro's nowdays are kindof pointless
[00:09] <mikel> xaris: i meant to say 64bit
[00:09] <nickrud> mrono, I think gnome-control-center is what you're looking for
[00:09] <ConstantineXVI> mrono, gnome-control-center IIRC
[00:09] <xaris> mikwl are you sure?>
[00:09] <xaris> mikel :0
[00:09] <mikel> xaris: bout what?
[00:09] <ConstantineXVI> Mrono, but it's really only a frontend for the system menu, so i don't see the point
[00:10] <xaris> 64bit
[00:10] <unr3a1> jj_galvez:  I see a "video" module, but nothing that has "ati" in it
[00:10] <RickZilla> Recommended desktop feed reader for ubuntu?  I use Google Reader, but would like to check out something desktop-based
[00:10] <nickrud> ConstantineXVI, it's nice for the initial setup of a desktop, but you're right, after that it just gets in the way
[00:10] <sken_> i have install songbird deb file apperas in the menu but doesn't open
[00:11] <C4N-S|SEAL45> Need help installing SYNERGY, please PM me if you will help me. thx
[00:11] <ConstantineXVI> RickZilla, lifera and blam are okay, but greader blows them away IMHO
[00:11] <nickrud> RickZilla, liferea straw and blam are all ok
[00:11] <jj_galvez> unr3a1: check with lshw that will give you a list of your hardware, and should tell you the name of your driver too
[00:11] <mikel> xaris: most linux distro's (including intrepid) have the ability to install ia64-libs in order to run both 64bit code and use more than 4 gigs of ram the only difference beetween them is there is more compatability for 32bit OS's now and there are no programs which totaly utilise more than 4 gigs of ram
[00:11] <sken_> i have installed songbird deb file apperas in the menu but doesn't open
[00:11] <ConstantineXVI> nickrud, the menus get in my way period, gnome-do FTW :)
[00:11] <Ronoa> hay algun español que entienda sobre tarjetas intel para ubuntu?
[00:11] <RickZilla> ConstantineXVI:  Thanks, that's good to know...don't want to fix what isn't broken, but I thought I'd just see what's out there
[00:11] <unr3a1> kk
[00:11] <nickrud> ew, gnome-do ;(
[00:11] <unr3a1> let me do that, brb
[00:12] <ericrost> fyi, can't use errors=remount-ro with xfs
[00:12] <ericrost> in fstab
[00:12] <Mrono> gnome control panel is and isn't what i was looking for
[00:12] <RickZilla> Ronoa:  mi espanol no es muy bueno
[00:12] <nickrud> alt-f2 rules ;)
[00:12] <hateball> !es | Ronoa
[00:12] <Ronoa> :O
[00:12] <Mrono> ok, how do i set the desktop switcher to change desktops when i move my mouse to the edge of the screen
[00:12] <Ronoa> ah ok, gracias
[00:12] <nickrud> Mrono, what task are you trying to do?
[00:12] <Ronoa> thx
[00:12] <xaris> mikel i run vista and WoW its boring to death..:P
[00:13] <mikel> xaris: whats that gotta do with the OS lol
[00:13] <nickrud> Mrono, install brightside for metacity, or make changes in ccsm for compiz
[00:13] <Lars_G> Meh envyng crashes
[00:13] <RickZilla> Nice that MS just gave up on Vista...I bought a laptop with it shortly after it came out
[00:13] <Lars_G> I really don't mind using nvidia's installer... or the packages if you tell me which are the right ones
[00:13] <RickZilla> Seriously thinking about making it an ubuntu laptop now
[00:14] <xaris> mikel i have an issue about how call the Linux Linox or lainoux....?
[00:14] <mikel> RickZilla: great choice!
[00:14] <mikel> xaris: wha!?
[00:14] <xaris> ;p
[00:14] <xaris> i am from greece
[00:15] <Stargazer> ok, i need the stupid's guide to installing ubuntu on a flash drive(memory stick).
[00:15] <mikel> xaris: the word linux is dirived from the term unix being mixed with the name linus
[00:15] <xaris> and i don;t know how cal
[00:15] <OzoneNerd> I have just switched to Ibex, I have a Dell e1405 computer.  I have now realized that my arrow keys (and possible other keys) are fail.  Any advice?
[00:15] <RickZilla> Stargazer:  Is that not going well?  I'd thought of trying out that feature myself
[00:15] <unr3a1> jj_galvez:  I see the product, and it tells me how it is configured, but no driver info
[00:15] <xaris> mikel is an where i can listen the name linux?
[00:15] <xaris> to know ;p
[00:15] <mikel> xaris: lyn ucks
[00:16] <mikel> xaris: or lin icks
[00:16] <tsrk> Hi, I had a windows partition when I installed ubuntu, and I tried to resize it during installation but for some reason the resize failed.  I just left it at it's current size and installed ubuntu on a different partition however now it can't seem to mount the ntfs filesystem or read it at all.  There are some files that I need to retrieve from the partition, what's the best way to do this, if it's even possible?
[00:16] <Stargazer> RickZilla: i've read a few guides and they look uber complicated. do you have any simple ones ?
[00:16] <xaris> λινουξ
[00:16] <mikel> Xaris: tomato tomoto
[00:16] <amews_aj> csilk: Can the UI problem be due to graphics driver (I use nvidia 96.xx beta)
[00:16] <jj_galvez> unr3a1: well I'm out of ideas, hope someone else with more knowhow can give you a hand
[00:17] <unr3a1> alright
[00:17] <unr3a1> thanks for everything
[00:17] <csilk> amews_aj, Honestly I'm not sure why you're having that problem
[00:17] <erUSUL> !gr
[00:17] <unr3a1> this mad suXX0rs
[00:17] <amews_aj> csilk: But do you think it could be driver related?
[00:17] <mikel> so any ideas why intrepid runs so slow on the CQ50 series laptops and others? iv read this is a common problem. What makes these laptops so different that they dont run the same?
[00:17] <decherd1> xaris redhat 5 had a sound check utility that was Linus pronouncing linux, might still be around
[00:17] <csilk> amews_aj, I'd of thought it was theme related
[00:18] <unr3a1> does anyone else know what I Can do to get into x-server?
[00:18] <mikel> xaris: reason why the pronunciation is so important to you lol
[00:18] <amews_aj> csilk: But resetting does not help...
[00:18] <csilk> amews_aj, if it was a graphics problem then I'd of thought it would affect other things aswell
[00:18] <mikel> unr3a1: what seems to be the problem
[00:18] <vitamin-carrot_> has anyone had the window border issue?
[00:18] <xaris> mikel smt too do.....
[00:18] <ConstantineXVI> vitamin-carrot_, what is the window border issue?
[00:19] <amews_aj> csilk: the funny thing is that I see all text behind the window for a second when I minimize it
[00:19] <unr3a1> mikel:  I get an error when doing startx that says I have no screens detected, and then says it cannot connect to x-server
[00:19] <mikel> xaris: lol goober
[00:19] <favro> how do I stop the apps I've recompiled from being upgraded?
[00:19] <xaris> in 35 min i have to whait so sous ;p\
[00:19] <mikel> un3a1: what drivers are you using and what video card and computor model?
[00:19] <n8tuser> favro-> you can install the ones you compiled in a different directory
[00:20] <vitamin-carrot_> ConstantineXVI: sometimes the title part of the window grays out like it loses the theme but if you hover your mouse over the min, max or close buttons it comes back
[00:20] <mikel> unr3a1: what drivers are you using and what video card and computor model?
[00:20] <n8tuser> favro-> then have your directory preceed any of the regular path in $PATH
[00:20] <favro> n8tuser: they are installed in /usr/local and are the only ones showing in synaptic as having upgrade options
[00:21] <kholerabbi> tsrk: hmmmm I'm just something of a noob.. But I've noticed if windows is closed down while it is booting... or failed somehow than ubuntu might have a hard time with the ntfs partitions. But for me it has been fixed by going into windows and letting it do all it's own error checking, and then shutting it down correctly.
[00:21] <favro> k
[00:21] <kholerabbi> mikel: imgburn is giving me errors on  W 10:14:53 Sector 42483 maps to File: \casper\filesystem.squashfs
[00:21] <unr3a1> mikel:  its a gateway 7422gx using an ati mobility radeon 9600/9700.  I upgraded from 8.04 and was using linux compatible linux drivers.
[00:21] <mikel> kholerabbi: during burning?
[00:21] <n8tuser> favro so you'd get one installed via synaptic and your version
[00:21] <nickrud> favro, if you have them in usr/local, they should be found on the path before the system ones; otherwise you can use the equivs package to make a dummy
[00:21] <DaSkreech> Hallo
[00:21] <favro> n8tuser: seems silly to have two of 'em
[00:21] <kholerabbi> mikel: this is imgburn integreaty check After burning
[00:21] <plouffe> My first Ubuntu version ever was Hardy Heron. How do I upgrade to the new version?
[00:22] <DaSkreech> how do I burn an audio CD with wodim ?
[00:22] <mikel> unr3a1: have you tryed booting into recovery and trying the fix x server option?
[00:22] <DaSkreech> !upgrade | plouffe
[00:22] <n8tuser> favro-> its also seem silly for compiling another
[00:22] <unr3a1> mikel:  no I have not
[00:22] <DaSkreech> !burn
[00:22] <plouffe> Thanks DaSkreech
[00:22] <DaSkreech> Anyone knows how to use Wodim?
[00:22] <mikel> Kholerabbi: you either have a bad iso or the lens on your burner is very dirty or going bad
[00:22] <C4N-S|SEAL45> Anyone here use Synergy2, If you can help me get mine running, please PM me.
[00:22] <mikel> unr3a1: try that and come back
[00:22] <unr3a1> ok
[00:23] <unr3a1> fix xserver?
[00:23] <Reval> anyone having sound issues with Audigy 2 on 8.10?
[00:23] <unr3a1> that is the option?
[00:23] <kholerabbi> mikel: There is alwasy shiptit :P ......... I'll just restart and give it a go. Thanks for your help  I probably won't be back on today.
[00:23] <kholerabbi> and mid5sum checks it out as ok
[00:23] <Mrono> soo close
[00:23] <xaris> mikel the official helper :p
[00:23] <nickrud> kholerabbi, how about the disk check on the disk itself?
[00:23] <Mrono> but not quite, ccsm isn't what i was looking for
[00:23] <mikel> unr3a1: yes you should just be able to select it and hit enter and it's automated
[00:23] <n8tuser> kholerabbi-> also let your cdrom drive cool off for a few after burning, sometime i find mine erroring too after it got warmed burning
[00:23] <unr3a1> alright...
[00:24] <unr3a1> be back soon hopefully
[00:24] <kholerabbi> nickrud: well I'm just doing that know. n8tuser: before I try booting the disc?
[00:24] <Mrono> it lets me double click at the edge of the desktop and switch, but i can't just move the mouse to the edge of the screen and change desktops
[00:24] <pidgas> I have my soundcard set up properly and can hear sound when vlc plays, but I cannot hear any sound from audacious or Listen - I can hear sound when I use aplay.  Anyone have any thoughts?
[00:24] <mikel> n8tuser: he's been having many problems burning on multiple progs and times the disk will boot but its broken
[00:25] <jikuty> hi, i updated to 8.10 through network upgrade today and when i reboot, the process now hangs at: "Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)" after the screen flickers a few times. anyone know what might be wrong?
[00:25] <nickrud> jikuty, I'd guess that the X server config is bad. Do you get a command prompt after failure?
[00:25] <jikuty> nope
[00:25] <ConstantineXVI> Mrono, using the cube?
[00:25] <Lars_G> Huh I found out why envyng was dying :D
[00:25] <jikuty> i can force it into one using an F+ combination though
[00:26] <Volkodav> FF 3.1 beta x86_64 anybody ?
[00:26] <mikel> Mrono: in the compiz settings manager there is an option under rotate desktop cube that enables rotate on mouse curser
[00:26] <nickrud> jikuty, good. Take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log , that will probably tell you the errors (look at the end)
[00:26] <Reval> found my own answer if anyone else comes asking about audigy 2 on 8.10 give them http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5902515
[00:26] <jikuty> ok, what should i be looking for?
[00:26] <mohbana> is it safe to download the adobe reader from adobe's site?
[00:26] <jikuty> the word "fail" ?
[00:26] <ConstantineXVI> Mrono, CCSM -> Desktop Wall -> Edge Flipping -> Edge Flip Pointer
[00:26] <Blaenk> saul?
[00:26] <nickrud> jikuty, less /var/log/Xorg.0.log shows it. And whatever it says faild ;)
[00:26] <ConstantineXVI> mohbana, thingk so, but why would you?/
[00:26] <n8tuser> mohbana-> yes, i've used it
[00:26] <jikuty> alright - i'll be back :)
[00:27] <mohbana> ConstantineXVI, it's newer
[00:27] <OzoneNerd> What is the name of the qt dev package?
[00:27] <ConstantineXVI> mohbana, i meant as opposed to evince?
[00:27] <mohbana> ConstantineXVI, rendering is way better
[00:27] <n8tuser> OzoneNerd-> apt-cache search qt   and take your pick from the list
[00:27] <jikuty> hm - actually, gotta run for about 20 minutes.. i'll have to investigate then
[00:27] <jikuty> thanks for the tip though
[00:28] <DaSkreech> how do I burn an audio CD with wodim ?
[00:28] <mikel> so any ideas why intrepid runs so slow on the CQ50 series laptops and others? iv read this is a common problem. What makes these laptops so different that they dont run the same?
[00:28] <M1DLG> anyone good with crossover linux and apps
[00:28] <OzoneNerd> n8tuser: Thanks
[00:28] <n8tuser> DaSkreech-> man wodim
[00:28] <ConstantineXVI> DaSkreech, wodim?
[00:28] <DaSkreech> n8tuser: the man page lies

[00:34] <dekkong> Hello guys! My mother has an compaq 6715s laptop. I'm trying to run ubuntu live cd on it but it loads the linux kernel and and tries to boot ubuntu but after that I get a black screen and it said something like can't read HDA ..access blocked
[00:35] <Administrator> Hi ,everyone
[00:35] <ConstantineXVI> mynyml, you'll have to wait for adobe and skype to support 64bit, as they're closed source
[00:35] <mynyml> ConstantineXVI: how's flash support?
[00:35] <Konstanty> DaSkreech,  no, it an mp3, or and file with auidio, played louder in windows
[00:35] <ConstantineXVI> mynyml, just as bad
[00:35] <ConstantineXVI> mynyml, adobe == flash
[00:35] <DaSkreech> !find ntfs
[00:36] <scientesss> can i do a dpkg -l from 32-bit intrepid and then install that in 64-bit intrepid?
[00:36] <scientesss> will that work?
[00:36] <techqbert> Does ubuntu 8.10 come with gnome-do as standard?  just curious.
[00:36] <DaSkreech> !search ntfs
[00:36] <Wendal_x> No
[00:36] <hal14450> does anyone have any experience w/ configuring apt-cacher I have an installfest i'd like to set up a server to cache packages for but so far no joy getting to to work properly
[00:36] <Mrono> does anyone know how to set it up so the mouse switches desktops without using ccsm
[00:36] <ConstantineXVI> techqbert, no, but it should IMHO
[00:36] <n8tuser> scientesss-> you can try, but i doubt it will work if the libraries is not available in a 64bit
[00:36] <ConstantineXVI> Mrono, CCSM -> Desktop Wall -> Edge Flipping -> Edge Flip Pointer
[00:36] <scientesss> n8tuser: but for standard program it is smart maybe?
[00:36] <ConstantineXVI> Mrono, that will do it
[00:36] <mynyml> ConstantineXVI: i thought it had gotten better on hardy? i thought maybe some hack was used on install or something..
[00:37] <Mrono> a less graphic intensive way
[00:37] <techqbert> ConstantineXVI: Great piece of software.. I'd agree.  UPenn student started it
[00:37] <Wendal_x> hall4450 , what you want ?
[00:37] <scientesss> also are the 32-bit libs for 64-bit standard?
[00:37] <n8tuser> scientesss-> you can try maybe it will work, i wish you luck
[00:37] <ConstantineXVI> techqbert, have you used it's OSX inspiration, quicksilver?
[00:37] <Timbo> should 8.10 be available in update manager?
[00:38] <Wendal_x> Not yet
[00:38] <thread_au1> Timbo: only if you select "normal releases"
[00:38] <Timbo> ah ok
[00:38] <thread_au1> it'll be there then
[00:38] <Mrono> Scientesss, there's no delay on the edge flipping, so as soon as my mouse hits the edge it flips
[00:38] <thread_au1> it was there for me today
[00:38] <n8tuser> Timbo i would suggest a fresh install, lest you like to spend time troubleshooting
[00:38] <Mrono> really annoying when i'm trying to scroll through something
[00:38] <runpain2> how do i download swf files from web page to my computer
[00:38] <thread_au1> I did some googling, and I dunno if you guys have had a lot of it... but I just ran the upgrade from xubuntu 8.04 to 8.10
[00:38] <Timbo> n8tuser: possibly a good idea
[00:38] <thread_au1> and pretty much everything was uninstalled for some reason
[00:38] <Wendal_x> Oh, i had check it yesterday , but nothing show out
[00:39] <Timbo> i've been upgrading since 7.04 or 10
[00:39] <mynyml> ConstantineXVI: some people report it works great: http://art.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=956893
[00:39] <thread_au1> is this documented or reported?
[00:39] <middlerun> my upgrade has gone haywire
[00:39] <nickrud> Timbo is a brave man ;)
[00:39] <runpain2> !flash ripper
[00:39] <Konstanty> i just installed ubuntu over windows, and the volume seems much lower.  is there a way to fix this?
[00:39] <Timbo> nickrud: it actually works fairly well
[00:39] <thread_au1> so I have pretty much no network drivers, or graphical desktop
[00:39] <unr3a1> mikel: http://rafb.net/p/i8BsYN28.html
[00:39] <Timbo> much better than upgrading debian releases ever did anyway
[00:39] <runpain2> !swf ripper
[00:40] <unr3a1> mikel: that is the error I am getting
[00:40] <thread_au1> I'm ok with a command line, but new to ubuntu, what shoudl I be doing to get the show on the road?
[00:40] <runpain2> anybody know how to download swf from web
[00:40] <nickrud> runpain2, I've found flash stuff in  mozilla cache.
[00:40] <unr3a1> thread_au1: run for your life!
[00:40] <Wendal_x> Abobe Flash player
[00:41] <DIFH-iceroot> runpain2: firefox has a plugin for that (video-helper imo)
[00:41] <nickrud> Timbo, I've had mixed results over the years; now I just !clone and reinstall with a separate home. It's been reliable
[00:41] <middlerun> i just upgraded and now when i boot i see nothing but the yellow/brown background. the only way to make anything show up seems to be to open a terminal with a shortcut key and use that to open nautilus, which makes the desktop icons appear but the menu bar and taskbar are still missing. anyone know what's going on?
[00:41] <xiamx> hey guys,  i'm planning to setup a socks5 server, do you know a good socks server easy to setup?

[00:43] <emorris> hi, if I install a .deb file manually, but then a newer version came on to the repos, would that upgrade automatically?
[00:43] <xiamx> Mrono, i thought squid is http proxy
[00:43] <cloud-ieee> May I PM someone about my issue?
[00:43] <nickrud> emorris, normally yes, as long as they used compatible versioning

[00:45] <techqbert> ConstantineXVI: Yup.
[00:46] <techqbert> I've used Quiksilver.
[00:46] <unr3a1> ty, balz.  was gonna do that myself, but you beat me to it ;)

[01:05] <blip-> hi all,  there is some code that i compile on an ubuntu 8.04 server i ssh into...during compiling it prints a line saying "Looking for libcgal ->  found"   .... now when i try to compile the same code on my ubuntu 8.04 machine this step fails to find libcgal... i did a "dpkg --get-selections | grep libcgal" and the server only has 2 packages "libcgal2" and "libcgal-dev".... i have those too but i can't compile and i'm on the exact same distro and
[01:05] <blip-> version.  any ideas what could be happening ?   Thanks
[01:06] <dt84> hi.  Terminal is stuck at "ldconfig deferred processing now taking place". What can I do to make sure the upgrade finishes correctly?
[01:07] <blip-> jrib: c++ code... it's compiled via rant
[01:07] <nagyv1> hello, I would need Clearsilver for Trac under Hardy. I've installed the python-clearsilver "wrapper", but according to it clearsilver is not yet installed, and I couldn't find any packages that would install it. Could someone help me how to do it? It's quite strange that both the python and the perl bindings are available, but not the basic library.
[01:07] <afeijo> how to run both FF2 and FF3 on my machine?
[01:07] <jrib> blip-: do you have anything in /usr/local/ ?
[01:07] <dt84> blip-: that's all I need to write in the "task" section?
[01:07] <blip-> jrib:  on my machine ?   Yes many directories
[01:08] <jrib> blip-: well my first guess would be to blame that.  Depends on what you have there
[01:08] <Azhi_Dahaka> i don't get it...
[01:08] <{^KinG^}> I have a problem with the audio you hear very low, how can fix that
[01:08] <jrib> dt84: where is "scheduled tasks"?
[01:08] <Azhi_Dahaka> the Alternate CD is SUPPOSED to work for offline installs
[01:08] <blip-> dt84: sorry not sure what this task section you mention is.     the command to turn off the machine from the console is poweroff... so if you write it in a script and run the script with sudo persmissions it sould shutdown
[01:08] <jrib> Azhi_Dahaka: umm, did you read what I told you?
[01:09] <scientesss> how do i get UUIDs for my drives?
[01:09] <jrib> !uuid | scientesss
[01:09] <Azhi_Dahaka> why on earth would it want to download the latest Xsane or Abiword... I don't even have installed that crap and that's supposed to be on the disk image
[01:09] <n8tuser> Azhi_Dahaka-> maybe it is listed on the pre-seed,
[01:10] <dt84> jrib: system -> preferences -> scheduled tasks, after installing gnome-schedule
[01:10] <Azhi_Dahaka> maybe.. but that doesn't exclude the fact that basic crap like that should come on the alternate cd
[01:10] <scientesss> that doesnt tell me how to look them up
[01:10] <blip-> jrib: hmm interesting,  i checked the server and it has a lib directory with a bunch of libCGAL.a and other libCGAL so files.... i don't have those on my machine.... how exactly did the server get those if i've installed all mentions of libcgal in synaptic... could it be someone manually put them there ?
[01:10] <scientesss> !uuid is needs method of looking up uuid of drives
[01:10] <think_linux> how can i connect to a wireless ssid on terminal?
[01:10] <blip-> jrib: could it be i need to restart the machine since i installed this libcgal ?
[01:11] <jrib> blip-: anything in /usr/local/ was not done by APT
[01:11] <blip-> all i did was restart the shell frontend
[01:11] <legend2440> scientesss: in terminal type   sudo blkid
[01:11] <ConstantineXVI> Nexuiz is somewhat based on the Quake1 engine, correct
[01:11] <ConstantineXVI> ?
[01:11] <jrib> scientesss: you need to read more closely
[01:11] <blip-> jrib: ah i see.  so recrusively copying over all the server's usr/local would be a good idea ?
[01:11] <th0r> think_linux, check iwconfig
[01:11] <{^KinG^}> I have a problem with the audio you hear very low, how can fix that
[01:12] <think_linux> th0r: i am looking for command
[01:12] <jrib> blip-: I guess that would work... I don't see why libgcal-dev would not be enough for you
[01:12] <C4N-S|SEAL45> can i get some help with synergy please, this is the page im on now  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynergyHowto
[01:12] <th0r> think_linux, the command you want is iwconfig
[01:12] <gameover_> HI
[01:12] <think_linux> iwconfig shows me the network
[01:12] <dt84> blip-: using gnome-schedule, there are 3 sections: description, execute at, and task
[01:13] <th0r> think_linux, iwconfig can also set up the wireless ssid, etc. Type 'man iwconfig'
[01:13] <think_linux> dies iwconfig allow me to connect to a network to?
[01:13] <lw0x15> what are other good browsers for ubuntu
[01:13] <jrib> !browser | lw0x15
[01:13] <st_> "With great 3G and WiFi support, and able to launch from USB keys, you can now take your desktop everywhere. The new Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop Edition Now released." Could someone explain the 'usb key' to me ?
[01:13] <gameover_> I've a problem. I installed VirtualBOx and I've ubuntu 8.10 in virtual machine, but I don't have a screen resoluiton at 1280x800. Why? Anyone Know???
[01:13] <C4N-S|SEAL45>  can i get some help with synergy please, this is the page im on now  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynergyHowto
[01:13] <blip-> jrib:  i noticed now they have tons of cgal stuff in there... even there are some binary files called cgal-create-makefile... i 'll just copy over the whole thing to be safe.  Thanks for the help :)
[01:14] <n8tuser> gameover_-> can virtualbox support that resolution?
[01:14] <jrib> blip-: k
[01:14] <think_linux> okkkkk
[01:14] <gameover_> yes
[01:14] <Azhi_Dahaka> DAMN!... I have restarted that installer 3 times and every single time it requires Internet Access... how ON EARTH can I avoid that? How can i do a internet-less install? That's the supposed USAGE of that Alternate CD
[01:14] <gameover_> if you edit some file bla bla
[01:14] <n8tuser> gameover_-> then look in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:14] <samone> hi, ive deleted the bar on the panel that shows what windows are open in kubuntu. does anyone know how to get it back?
[01:15] <bayu> #join jambi
[01:15] <gameover_> yes
[01:15] <gameover_> but I write, what?
[01:15] <schlort> hey guys -- anyone know how to stop the popup on the network-manager applet from showing every single time i log in (the behavior it had on hardy)
[01:16] <comicinker1> help!: after a failed upgrade, I receive a kernel panic when booting 2.6.27. with 2.6.24, I have difficulties repairing the packages. Please, I have no idea any more. here is dpkg --configure -a: http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/392645/
[01:16] <n8tuser> Azhi_Dahaka-> debootstrap i think only works on livecd not alternate cd, dont know why
[01:16] <scientesss> why does reinstalling allways override my icons and my gnome-panel
[01:16] <Azhi_Dahaka> on the Website I have this:
[01:16] <scientesss> seriously
[01:16] <techqbert> rapha: btw.  if you apt-cache search openvpn, the particular package that hooks into the GUI is called network-manager-openvpn.
[01:16] <tchwang> after following the guide on Ubuntu.com website, to upgrade to 8.10 from 8.04... after reboot it goes straight into command prompt now more gnome..... :'(
[01:16] <dmsuperman> I'm having an issue with video. I installed intrepid, then I installed nvidia-glx-177. My Xorg.0.log says "Fatal error, no screens found"
[01:16] <JFo> scientesss, only because you don't want it to
[01:17] <dmsuperman> But I have tried both default xorg.conf and nvidia-xconfig one, both have a screen defined
[01:17] <secret901> I have trouble enabling Visual Effects in 8.10 after upgrading from 8.04
[01:18] <J-_> Is there going to be any better support for the GM965 chipset in hardy? Supposedly it was getting better per release. In glxgears I'm only getting 550 FPS whereas in Hardy I was getting over 1000 FPS. Can anyone suggest something?
[01:18] <Azhi_Dahaka> The Alternace CD allows you to update older installations WITHOUT network access
[01:18] <bamboo> hi. i am having trouble instaling ubuntu. when i boot, i pick install then it says something like "checking battery [ok], running boot scripts [ok]" and there's a blinking cursor and its just stuck there. nothing happens. when i type something, nothing happens
[01:18] <JFo> J-_, you mean Intrepid?
[01:18] <Azhi_Dahaka> the DEFINITION of the damn Alternate CD... so, WHY DOES IT KEEPS TRYING TO CONNECT TO THE DAMN NETWORK?
[01:18] <Tom_Davis> bamboo try typing your user name
[01:18] <exp_> what is the shortcut to "select text" within terminal?? when i hold shift and hit my left or right arrow keys i get D's and C's  ..... am I missing something?
[01:19] <Azhi_Dahaka> I *DON'T* want it to connect, that's the whole reason for the Alternate CD
[01:19] <n8tuser> Azhi_Dahaka-> calm down
[01:19] <secret901> Visual effects stopped working for me after I upgraded to 8.10 even though it's worked in 8.04
[01:19] <dmsuperman> I'm having an issue with video. I installed intrepid, then I installed nvidia-glx-177. My Xorg.0.log says "Fatal error, no screens found"
[01:19] <dmsuperman> But I have tried both default xorg.conf and nvidia-xconfig one, both have a screen defined
[01:19] <bamboo> i have dual core e8400/2gb ram/nvidia 8200. i saw some forum threads about problems with nvidia 8200...not the same problem but maybe ubuntu just has issues with this card
[01:19] <J-_> JFo:  Yeah, I'll repeat myself. 550 FPS in Intrepid, 1000 FPS in Hardy. Benchmarking with glxgears.
[01:19] <nite_johnboy> Hi - Trying to install Dropbox plug-in for Nautilus - Added necessary lines to " /etc/apt/sources.list " but not sure what name to use in " sudo apt-get install (tried "dropbox" here) - but said Package not found - Any ideas ? ?
[01:19] <bamboo> i never made a username, what would it be?
[01:19] <rapha> techqbert: I actually don't use OpenVPN tbh - but thx still! ;-)
[01:19] <Tom_Davis> on the install?
[01:19] <Azhi_Dahaka> Sorry, but I find it ridiculous that the CD doesn't do what it is suppose to.
[01:19] <JFo> hmmm, not sure about that, let me check something
[01:20] <n8tuser> Azhi_Dahaka-> look into uibiquity and or debootstrap - in how those two are used for installs
[01:20] <comicinker1> nite_johnboy: you have to sudo apt-get update
[01:20] <Azhi_Dahaka> ok
[01:20] <n8tuser> ubiquity rather
[01:20] <bamboo> whn i boot, it says i need to config video card/ monitor...no matter what i do from there its same result
[01:20] <mercutio22> somtimes when I right click a link on firefox a "page bookmarked" dialog pops up instead of the regular right click menu
[01:21] <JFo> mercutio22, I think that is a bug, I get it too
[01:21] <nite_johnboy> comicinkerl, I did that command 1st before install command
[01:21] <partisan11> I just got Proxomitron working good via Wine on intrepid. Started experimenting with this kind of proxy filter to deal with ads (on Galeon or Epiphany). Seems like Firefox, Opera, Konqueror already have adequate filters (esp. Firefox). Is Proxomitron more trouble than it's worth in linux?
[01:22] <Azhi_Dahaka> The weird thing is that the installer ASKS if I want to connect to the network... but in the best Windows Fashion, ignores my selection and decides that it wants to connect
[01:22] <mercutio22> JFo> are you using the regular firefox theme?
[01:22] <ConstantineXVI> partisan11, have you looked into privoxy yet?
[01:22] <scientesasd> should i upgrade or stay at .04?
[01:22] <ConstantineXVI> partisan11, it'
[01:22] <jikuty> hi, i was in here a little earlier - after upgrading to 8.10 through network upgrade, my system hangs when rebooting at "Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)". i checked the /var/log/Xorg.0.log as suggested, and found that the following modules failed to load: vesa, synaptics mouse. also, i noticed that grub shows that i'm still using kernel 2.6.24 when i select my ubuntu install from the bootlist... anyone have any ideas?
[01:22] <jrib> partisan11: epiphany has the adblock extension
[01:22] <scientesasd> !upgrade
[01:22] <ConstantineXVI> partisan11, privoxy does the same thing, and it's linux native as well
[01:22] <nite_johnboy> comicinker: Also went back to check etc file and lines to update were there
[01:23] <JFo> mercutio22, yeah
[01:23] <partisan11> Thanks Constantine, jrib.
[01:23] <mercutio22> JFo I will report that then
[01:23] <rodolfo> guys which codec can I use to run .flv files..?
[01:23] <JFo> J-_, I see several bugs on it, but I am still digging to see when the milestone is
[01:23] <Dr_willis> !flash | rodolfo
[01:23] <JFo> mercutio22, cool
[01:23] <comicinker1> nite_johnboy: then you have either the wrong source or you use a wrong package name
[01:24] <J-_> JFo:  Cool, thanks. Do you think such milestones will overcome soon?
[01:24] <comicinker1> nite_johnboy: try apt-cache search dropbox
[01:24] <Dr_willis> rodolfo   i do think ive seen them playavle in mplayer/vlc befor. :) or ya could convert them with some tools.
[01:24] <JFo> J-_, no idea. I'll let you know what I find
[01:24] <rodolfo> Dr_willis, this is not about the flash player for browsers. this is about the .flv file itself
[01:24] <bamboo> hi. i am having trouble instaling ubuntu. when i boot, i pick install then it says something like "checking battery [ok], running boot scripts [ok]" and there's a blinking cursor and its just stuck there. nothing happens. when i type something, nothing happens
[01:24] <jikuty> bamboo: im having the same problem
[01:25] <nite_johnboy> comicinkerl: ok
[01:25] <DanielK00000> Hi
[01:25] <DanielK00000> Anyone on here use YouTube's Quick Capture?
[01:25] <rodolfo> Dr_willis, that I belive it has nothing to do with flash player, once I want to run the .flv files using totem
[01:25] <ConstantineXVI> rodolfo, i believe gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg does the job
[01:25] <rodolfo> ConstantineXVI, OK gonna check it out^^
[01:26] <JFo> J-_, I found a bug on it freezing in #d apps
[01:26] <JFo> not sure if that would be along the same lines as what you are having
[01:26] <JFo> but it is the closest thing I see
[01:26] <_2> jikuty & bamboo alt+left/right   see if the other tty's are active/usable
[01:26] <DanielK00000> For some reason when I run YouTube's quick capture everything works fine, but when I hit the "record" button the webcam video freezes on the frame that I press the record button on. Anyone else ever get this? If so, how did you fix it?
[01:26] <Dr_willis> rodolfo   if you say so..i normally install ubuntu-restricted-extras metapackage and can play about anything i can find.
[01:27] <JFo> plus it was set for inclusion in Intrepid, but it doesn't seem to have made it
[01:27] <comicinker1> help!: after a failed upgrade, I receive a kernel panic when booting 2.6.27. with 2.6.24, I have difficulties repairing the packages. Please, I have no idea any more. here is dpkg --configure -a: http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/392645/
[01:27] <tchwang> amazing... i was hoping help from this chaotic chat room.... my ubuntu 8.10 won't boot-up.... someone please shoot my right on my head now...
[01:27] <Dr_willis> rodolfo   it proberly grabes the various gstreamer stuff and more.
[01:27] <russianzilla> Hey, I was wondering if anyone could help me out, for some reason I can't enable Advanced Desktop Effects after an Intrepid upgrade.
[01:27] <rodolfo> yeah
[01:27] <bamboo> jikuty: do u have nvidia 8200?
[01:27] <dmsuperman> I'm having an issue with video. I installed intrepid, then I installed nvidia-glx-177. My Xorg.0.log says "Fatal error, no screens found"
[01:27] <nite_johnboy> comicinkerl: this is return i got from run in terminal " Dropbox integration for Nautilus " - does this mean it's installed ? I can check right now - running Gnome desktop session right now but have KDE session I can run later....
[01:27] <dmsuperman> But I have tried both default xorg.conf and nvidia-xconfig one, both have a screen defined
[01:27] <JFo> what hardware do you have it in J-_ ?
[01:28] <J-_> JFo:  So, in other words--Intrepid will stay how I'm experiencing it? Let me pastebin my lspci
[01:28] <_2> tchwang installed or trying to install ?
[01:28] <Wendal_x> Hi
[01:28] <schlort> does anyone know how to stop the popup on the network-manager applet from showing every single time i log in on my desktop?  (the behavior it had on hardy).
[01:28] <JFo> mercutio22, when you report the FF bug, would you send me the bug #?
[01:28] <jikuty> bamboo: i have an nvidia quadro nvs140m
[01:28] <JFo> J-_, ok
[01:28] <rodolfo> ConstantineXVI, what is FFmpeg about?
[01:28] <jikuty> but it doesn't seem to be limited to videocards... people with intel/ati cards are also having the issue
[01:28] <ubuntu> just a little hello !
[01:29] <dmsuperman> rodolfo: Decoding audio and video
[01:29] <bamboo> when u start, does it ask u to config ur video?
[01:29] <bamboo> o
[01:29] <mercutio22> JFo, sure
[01:29] <dmsuperman> rodolfo: Many many different types
[01:29] <tchwang> _2: I was upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10...
[01:29] <jikuty> nope.. i dont think so
[01:29] <bamboo> what version of ubuntu u got?
[01:29] <tchwang> after upgrade
[01:29] <ConstantineXVI> rodolfo, basically, it's a huge super-codec
[01:29] <JFo> mercutio22, thanks
[01:29] <BlooBay1> hmm, curious, why doesn't the package manager show such things as apache, etc..???
[01:29] <J-_> JFo:  http://pastebin.com/m26eda011
[01:29] <jikuty> 8.10
[01:29] <geodome> hihi
[01:29] <dmsuperman> !u | bamboo
[01:29] <tchwang> it goes straight into command prompt atger reboot...
[01:29] <_2> tchwang ok so it is installed.    when you try to boot what happens ?
[01:29] <dmsuperman> BlooBay1: Look in synaptic
[01:29] <bamboo> haha
[01:29] <comicinker1> nite_johnboy: no, that doesn't necessarily mean you have already install it. you just have some packages you can install. the package name is the very left name from the output. you can also use adept or synaptic for that task
[01:29] <nickrud_> schlort, I ended up pruning all the network entries in gconf and starting from scratch, that worked
[01:29] <Ratchet--> hello
[01:29] <russianzilla> Is there any way to check if all the packages for Intrepid were upgraded?
[01:29] <geodome> is there a way to directly update ububtu 8.04 to 8.10 without downloading the entire CD?
[01:29] <Lunar_Lamp> tchwang: is it a recovery console or a normal command prompt? If the latter, run "xfix"
[01:29] <dmsuperman> BlooBay1: Or just install from cli. apache2, php5, mysql-server-5.0, etc.
[01:30] <_2> tchwang ok is it normal bash or a busybox shell ?
[01:30] <Flannel> BlooBay1: add/remove only shows a small portion of "applications", synaptic shows all packages.  And it'd be apache2, yes.
[01:30] <n8tuser> Azhi_Dahaka-> when you boot the alternate cd, do you press escape key?
[01:30] <BlooBay1> k.  Just looking into ubuntu recently....  will check that out.
[01:30] <ConstantineXVI> geodome, update manager, like usual
[01:30] <Flannel> !upgrade | geodome
[01:30] <tchwang> _2. it goes into command prompt...gnome wont start
[01:30] <schlort> nickrud_: thanks, i'll give it a shot
[01:30] <JFo> this in a laptop J-_ ?
[01:30] <rodolfo> So you guys mean once I got this FFmpeg installed here, I won't need to search for any other one else
[01:30] <BlooBay1> oh, ok.
[01:30] <_2> tchwang ok is it normal bash or a busybox shell ?
[01:30] <J-_> JFo:  Yes.
[01:30] <JFo> ok, what brand and model?
[01:30] <ConstantineXVI> rodolfo, for most stuff, yes
[01:30] <dmsuperman> rodolfo: if you get ffmpeg and gstreamer installed you should be golden
[01:30] <tchwang> _2: ok to private you?
[01:30] <J-_> JFo:  Lenovo R61e
[01:30] <ConstantineXVI> rodolfo, it's not everything, but it's a lot of things
[01:30] <bamboo> language is to communicate. if u dont understand, thats one thing. if u just dont like how it looks, thats ur problem. i use abbreviations for efficeincy and speed
[01:30] <Ratchet--> How do I get my terminal to say name@home instead of name@cen34902
[01:31] <_2> tchwang yeah
[01:31] <Tom_Davis> Ratchet--change your hostname
[01:31] <russianzilla> Would anyone know if advanced desktop effects always require restricted drivers?
[01:31] <Ratchet--> how?
[01:31] <ConstantineXVI> Ratchet--, do you mean you want to change your hostname from cen34092 to home?
[01:31] <Tom_Davis> Ratchet--umm sudo hostname home
[01:31] <Musashimaru> hi all.
[01:31] <russianzilla> I'm not getting an option to install them although I used to have one for my graphics card.
[01:31] <rodolfo> OK thank you guys!
[01:31] <JFo> J-_, ok, looks like your hardware isn't included in this bug. I'll add it
[01:31] <jrib> russianzilla: nope, I have an intel card it works fine on
[01:31] <kushalsejwal> when I open system monitor to see the current running processes, I always see Nautilus there, even if I am not using it?
[01:31] <ConstantineXVI> russianzilla, depends on your 3D card
[01:31] <dmsuperman> bamboo: But it's not your choice. This is a channel that doesn't put up with butchering the language
[01:31] <n8tuser> bamboo-> you are not doing anyone here a favor doing so
[01:31] <snova> russianzilla: not always. it depends on the video card
[01:31] <russianzilla> Hmm.
[01:31] <dmsuperman> russianzilla: I don't know of a case where it wouldn't
[01:31] <J-_> JFo: Sounds good. :)
[01:31] <russianzilla> I'm now incapable of enabling desktop effects, so I was wondering.
[01:32] <_2> Wendal_x why are you checking versions ?     that's kinda rude in a channel this size.
[01:32] <Musashimaru> Anybody has some information on how to include schema with the new slapd config system available in intrepid?
[01:32] <snova> Ratchet--: trying to change the bash prompt?
[01:32] <HRshovinstuff> I am trying to figure out how to highlight text within the Terminal.  When I hold shift and press my left or right arrow keys I am getting D's and C's....  Am I missing something??
[01:32] <Ratchet--> ConstantineXVI: When I first got it the terminal did the commands in joshua@home, now it's joshua@cen34902
[01:32] <dmsuperman> I'm having an issue with video. I installed intrepid, then I installed nvidia-glx-177. My Xorg.0.log says "Fatal error, no screens found"
[01:32] <dmsuperman> But I have tried both default xorg.conf and nvidia-xconfig one, both have a screen defined
[01:32] <snova> HRshovinstuff: text editing shortcuts don't always work in a terminal.
[01:32] <jikuty> dmsuperman: same problem i'm experiencing
[01:32] <HRshovinstuff> ok well is there a shortcut to highlight text .........?
[01:32] <dmsuperman> jikuty: any clues at all?
[01:32] <jikuty> dmsuperman: not really, i'm kind of new to this .. just checked the log a little while ago
[01:33] <Ratchet--> snova: When I first got it the terminal did the commands in joshua@home, now it's joshua@cen34902
[01:33] <ConstantineXVI> Ratchet--, okay, i knew in 8.04 you went to system -> admin -> network to change it, but network's not there in intrepid/8.10
[01:33] <chad1> dmsuperman: there is serious issues with nvidia and 8.10 whether they are admitting it or not, there are a lot of problems
[01:33] <dmsuperman> jikuty: It's kind of frustrating. Luckily, I only installed it as a test and didn't upgrade yet, but it's still a pain not to even be able to boot -_-
[01:33] <snova> Ratchet--: oh, well that would be the hostname :)
[01:33] <jikuty> dmsuperman: well, i tested the lived.. it worked perfectly.
[01:33] <Ratchet--> snova:  how to change?
[01:33] <mercutio22> JFo, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/291889
[01:33] <jikuty> when i actually ran the network update - it failed miserably
[01:33] <dmsuperman> chad1: There have always been issues with nvidia, but I'm using older cards. That usually works better, but here it's not at all -_-
[01:33] <snova> Ratchet--: try "sudo hostname home"
[01:33] <ConstantineXVI> Ratchet--, are you on intrepid?
[01:33] <dmsuperman> jikuty: Yeah, it's once you get the video driver installed it seems to stop
[01:34] <JFo> thanks mer
[01:34] <JFo> mercutio22,
[01:34] <jikuty> dmsuperman: hmm.. that's too bad.. do you think a fresh 8.10 install will work?
[01:34] <JFo> <-tab complete fail
[01:34] <dmsuperman> jikuty: No, that's what I'm using. Fresh install
[01:34] <jikuty> d'oh
[01:34] <dmsuperman> JFo: It happens to the best of us :P
[01:34] <KyleS-home> must say, I like 8.10 :)
[01:34] <InvisiblePinkUni> ubottu: tell me about debtorrent
[01:34] <kushalsejwal> when I open system monitor to see the current running processes, I always see Nautilus there, even if I am not using it? why is it so?
[01:34] <dmsuperman> I'd like it if X would start :S
[01:34] <KyleS-home> the darkroom took a bit to get used to, but I like it
[01:34] <KyleS-home> goes great with the new wallpaper
[01:35] <nickrud> kushalsejwal, it's what's drawing the desktop
[01:35] <dmsuperman> kushalsejwal: nautilus does your desktop
[01:35] <mercutio22> JFo> no pb
[01:35] <Crewsr3> I'm trying to use unetbootin to install ubuntu 8.10.  When I boot from the usb I get the error "could not find kernel image: linux" Google was not able to help me out, can someone here help?
[01:35] <J-_> JFo:  Is there anything else you want me to check out to be more specific about the bugs? And, will bug fixes be implemented in Intrepid?
[01:35] <InvisiblePinkUni> Anyone knows how debtorrent supposed to work? I am trying to get it to work, but unable to.
[01:35] <dmsuperman> kushalsejwal: The icons on the desktop are done from nautilus
[01:35] <snova> InvisiblePinkUni: it works as a proxy. you tweak sources.list to fetch everything through a server running on your computer, which fetches packages via bittorent. not sure how, though.
[01:35] <kushalsejwal>  dmsuperman: nickrud: Thanks, I got it :)
[01:35] <snova> InvisiblePinkUni: check /usr/share/doc/debtorrent
[01:35] <dmsuperman> torrentfreak had an article about how to set it up
[01:35] <JFo> J-_, I can't think of anything, I included the information from the pastebin to the bug
[01:35] <_2> J-_ yes bug fixes go into "updates"
[01:36] <InvisiblePinkUni> snova: Yeah true, I read about it and installed it. But when I upgrade, I still use http.
[01:36] <Sawyer-> any idea what could cause a problem where I'm unable to start any kind of application?
[01:36] <InvisiblePinkUni> snova: Oh ok, I have to change the source list manually.
[01:36] <InvisiblePinkUni> snova: Thanks :-)
[01:36] <J-_> JFo:  Cool, thanks a lot.
[01:36] <JFo> np
[01:36] <n8tuser> Sawyer--> you are getting any kind of errors?
[01:36] <plouffe> I upgraded to intrepid, but it got stuck when it was almost finished, now when I start update manager it tells me to update 798 packages and when I do it says to partially upgrade, and when I try that it tells me "cannot upgrade from intrepid to hardy". WTF is that?
[01:36] <JFo> J-_, bug is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/120834
[01:36] <Sawyer-> after I applied some patches everything seems to have ceased to work
[01:37] <Sawyer-> n8tuser I can't even open the system log
[01:37] <Flannel> plouffe: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[01:37] <n8tuser> Sawyer--> how are you opening the system log?
[01:37] <Crewsr3> I'm trying to use unetbootin to install ubuntu 8.10.  When I boot from the usb I get the error "could not find kernel image: linux" Google was not able to help me out, can someone here help?
[01:37] <plouffe> Thanks Flannel
[01:37] <profanephobia> is there a psuedo package that makes installing kde simple in vanilla ubuntu?
[01:37] <HRshovinstuff> is there seriuosly no one here that can tell me how to highlight text in terminal with the keyboard??  /wrists
[01:37] <Sawyer-> n8tuser through gnome
[01:37] <Flannel> profanephobia: sudo apt-get kubuntu-desktop
[01:37] <J-_> _2:  Makes sense. :) Though, I was worried I wouldn't see the updates in Intrepid. I mean, I may not either. But at least people have reported, and they're noticed so they get triaged and fixed.
[01:38] <n8tuser> Sawyer--> if you are in a console you can vi a file?
[01:38] <profanephobia> Flannel, thanks
[01:38] <snova> HRshovinstuff: i think you'd be interested in readline
[01:38] <Sawyer-> n8tuser yes I can access it through a console
[01:38] <n8tuser> Sawyer--> id try rebooting
[01:38] <russianzilla> Is there some sort of log file for the Advanced Desktop Effects dialog?  Only the unciviized use such blasphemous distortion of proper English. Sincerely, bamboo
[01:38] <Sawyer-> n8tuser I've rebooted several times, it just doesn't seem to help
[01:38] <comicinker1> help!: after a failed upgrade, I receive a kernel panic when booting 2.6.27. with 2.6.24, I have difficulties repairing the packages. Please, I have no idea any more. here is dpkg --configure -a: http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/392645/
[01:38] <bamboo> buch of pompous elitists :P
[01:39] <bazhang> bamboo, please take chat elsewhere
[01:39] <bamboo> need to chat in formal english :P
[01:39] <snova> russianzilla: try running the program from the command line and watch stderr
[01:39] <bazhang> !offtopic | bamboo
[01:39] <Flannel> bamboo: Indeed you do.  And please take further non-support chat elsewhere.
[01:39] <Crewsr3> I'm trying to use unetbootin to install ubuntu 8.10.  When I boot from the usb I get the error "could not find kernel image: linux" Google was not able to help me out, can someone here help?
[01:40] <Azhi_Dahaka> how can i purge the list of versions of apt-get?
[01:40] <n8tuser> Sawyer--> on a xterm  type gnome and press tab, pick any of those on the list and see if you can run them
[01:40] <bamboo> hey im just trying to maintain the high standards of channel
[01:40] <bamboo> just like ubottu
[01:40] <JFo> bamboo, heh, sorry about that :)
[01:40] <Azhi_Dahaka> I want it to be completely ignorant and to just read the list that cames with the Alternate CD
[01:40] <snova> JFo: he left...
[01:40] <JFo> ah well
[01:41] <Sawyer-> n8tuser I get a warning "cannot open display: :0.0"
[01:41] <lay> Friends, after all troubles regarding bug #263555 which corrupted some Intel NIC hardware with alpha code, would you please confirm if it is really safe to install just-released 8.10.  I know the question is not pertinent, but I am about to assume a responsibility over a bunch of laptops right now....
[01:41] <n8tuser> Azhi_Dahaka-> when you boot the alternate cd, try to press escape key and then type live only-ubiquity
[01:41] <plouffe> Flannel after "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade", it tells me to download 2GB of upgrades. What is this for?
[01:41] <n8tuser> Sawyer--> which gnome-* did you run?
[01:42] <Azhi_Dahaka> i don't want to boot
[01:42] <Flannel> plouffe: Finishing your upgrade.  No idea why it's 2GB though.
[01:42] <sKyZ> Anyone know how I can connect to a VPN on Hardy 64bit?
[01:42] <Azhi_Dahaka> i'm using update-manager
[01:42] <Atomic_UE> what's the AT SPI Registry Wrapper?
[01:42] <Nikke> !puregnome
[01:42] <Sawyer-> n8tuser I ran a bunch, they all give a similar error, unable to open a display
[01:43] <Azhi_Dahaka> I'm not going to burn waste a CD on an image that seems to not do what it is supposed to
[01:43] <JFo> lay, I am using Intel NIC's and I have not had trouble.
[01:43] <Dr_willis> If i see a machine on my network as in --> smb://fileserver/   and i want to discover its ip# so i can ssh to it... is there a easy way todo that? nmaping the whole lan and guessing.. is what ive been doing  :)
[01:43] <Azhi_Dahaka> I just need to restore the virginity of apt-get
[01:43] <Nikke> http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce
[01:43] <Nikke> thats not for intrepid
[01:43] <Sawyer-> n8tuser I think that gave me some clues to what is going on
[01:43] <secret901> Visual effects stopped working for me after I upgraded to 8.10 even though it's worked in 8.04
[01:43] <sKyZ> Anyone know how I can connect to a VPN on Hardy 64bit? -- I've already installed network-manager-pptp -- When I try to connect it says that it was unable to connect.
[01:44] <JFo> secret901, you mean Compiz?
[01:44] <JFo> or if not which effects?
[01:44] <secret901> JFo: I think so, it comes default with 8.10 right?
[01:44] <JFo> no, I had to add it
[01:44] <metilfenidato> how can i solve this:  unable to make backup link of `./usr/sbin/sshd' before installing new version: Operation not permitted
[01:44] <secret901> JFo: yeah, it's compiz.  It's worked in 8.04
[01:44] <n8tuser> Azhi_Dahaka-> i thought you said you ahve the alternatecd ?
[01:45] <JFo> secret901, you should be able to get it in the Add/Remove under Applications.
[01:45] <_2> metilfenidato is the dot really in "./usr/sbin/sshd" ?
[01:45] <plouffe> Flannel: this is my output from sudo apt-get dist-upgrade --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/65484/ Does this look right?
[01:45] <dasutin> Is it possible to install 8.10 on a embedded pc that has a SSD hard drive but no cd-rom drive and ethernet?
[01:45] <JFo> I'm pretty sure I had to add it
[01:45] <Flannel> !install | dasutin
[01:45] <secret901> JFo: it's there, but when I try to enable it, it just thinks that my card can't handle it
[01:45] <metilfenidato> dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/openssh-client_1%3a5.1p1-3ubuntu1_i386.deb (--unpack):                                                            unable to make backup link of `./usr/bin/ssh' before installing new version: Operation not permitted
[01:46] <metilfenidato> dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
[01:46] <lay> JFo, I understand that it's an alpha thing, and should not be a concern about 8.10 release... however as far I have googled, I haven't found a definitive affirmation that we are safe ...
[01:46] <Flannel> dasutin: Theres a bunch of methods, that page (first link) goes through a bunch of them
[01:46] <metilfenidato> _2: appear do not
[01:46] <JFo> secret901, what card
[01:46] <JFo> lay, I understand
[01:46] <threexk> hello.  Will my system become messy if I upgrade from 8.04->8.10 rather than doing a reformat and 8.10 install?
[01:46] <kanhiya78> can anybody helpme
[01:46] <secret901> JFo: it's an intel card
[01:46] <Flannel> threexk: No
[01:46] <erpo> threexk: It can be. I always recommend a reformat.
[01:46] <JFo> lay, which one?
[01:46] <n8tuser> dasutin-> why ubuntu on an embedded pc? you tried uclinux?
[01:46] <JFo> lay, disregard
[01:47] <JFo> secret901, which intel card?
[01:47] <Flannel> plouffe: well, this looks interesting at any rate.  Mind pastebinning /etc/apt/sources.list (and any files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/) as well as the output of sudo apt-get update?
[01:47] <Sawyer-> n8tuser it has obviously something to do with the X display settings
[01:47] <secret901> JFo:  Intel Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller
[01:47] <threexk> Flannel, erpo: conflicting answers :)
[01:47] <n8tuser> Sawyer--> correct
[01:47] <JFo> secret901, could have something to do with your resolution. what is that set at?
[01:47] <secret901> JFo: I'm sure it's not because of a non-supported driver. This is a Dell Ubuntu laptop and it works fine if I use the live CD
[01:47] <Flannel> threexk: Did you add any third party repositories (besides winehq or medibuntu)? (automatix, random other ones, etc?)
[01:48] <PMantis> I just built a new computer, quad core 2.3GHz, 4 GB RAM. Booting from 8.04 or 8.10... using 32 or 64 bit, it gives me a menu from CD, Ichoose, it loads the kernel, the I see:   [ 12.3456789]  Not responding.... then it repeats 7 seconds later, then reboots, starts all over. Ideas?
[01:48] <JFo> hmm, then there must be something else afoot here
[01:48] <secret901> JFo: right now it's 1280x800
[01:48] <Malgr2> The wireless drivers are present in Intrepid Ibex, but there is no Network Manager.  As in, "Configure Network" -> "There is no Network Configuration Tool".  Is this a known problem in Ibex?
[01:48] <JFo> secret901, let me look around for a bit
[01:48] <Azhi_Dahaka> any clues on how to do that?
[01:48] <threexk> Flannel: nah.  I think I only installed 1 package that wasn't on an official repository
[01:48] <Malgr2> ALSA is also non-responsive.
[01:48] <Azhi_Dahaka> n8tuser: I have the ISO
[01:48] <n8tuser> Malgr2-> you can always manually use the cli, configure it in /etc/network/interfaces
[01:48] <threexk> Flannel: for an MP3 codec
[01:49] <Flannel> threexk: And you did it via a package? not compiling from source?
[01:49] <Azhi_Dahaka> I mounted it and followed every step on the freaking guide
[01:49] <n8tuser> Azhi_Dahaka-> did you expand it?
[01:49] <threexk> Flannel: can't remember.. it was from this company that offers them for free, legally
[01:49] <threexk> Flannel: Fluendo
[01:49] <Flannel> threexk: Likely then.  Yeah, you upgrading wont get messy.  It'll be almost the same as you reinstalling fresh (without the hassle)
[01:50] <Flannel> threexk: non-third party random repos is a good thing, by the way ;)
[01:50] <Sawyer-> n8tuser I rebooted the system, applications work normally now, but after when I try to resume a NX connection, the problem reappears
[01:50] <Atomic_UE> what's the AT SPI Registry Wrapper?
[01:50] <Azhi_Dahaka> It's mounted and running
[01:50] <Azhi_Dahaka> it's just stubborn
[01:50] <threexk> Flannel: I try to stick with a supported configuration as much as possible!  thanks
[01:50] <n8tuser> Azhi_Dahaka-> you are running a linux now right?
[01:50] <riz0n> I have a problem with Ubuntu and gdm.. I have XDMCP enabled and set up with vnc4server to work as desktop :1 ... whenever my desktop is rebooted I get an error regarding screen resolution, asks me if i want to remain in low graphics mode (which i choose yes) but once I continue my system locks up... I can reboot and it will get to a login prompt but if I login and then log back out then the system locks up again.. where do i need to look
[01:51] <Azhi_Dahaka> yes
[01:51] <Azhi_Dahaka> Hardy
[01:52] <n8tuser> Azhi_Dahaka-> do you have debootstrap? we can try your alternatec iso, not sure if it will work, i know it works with livecd iso..
[01:52] <JFo> secret901, are you using an attached monitor?
[01:52] <riz0n> Everything with the VNC :1 session seems to work fine, I can log in and log out all day with it and it works fine.
[01:52] <n8tuser> Sawyer--> i dont know how to get around that resuming  NX  session
[01:52] <Malgr2> I only have a loopback connection.
[01:53] <Azhi_Dahaka> No, I don't have it
[01:53] <plouffe> Flannel: this is the output http://paste.ubuntu.com/65487/ (and this the previous http://paste.ubuntu.com/65484/)
[01:53] <Azhi_Dahaka> Anyone knows how can I flush the current list of versions of apt-get?
[01:53] <tchwang> Don't be like me [ BACKUP your files before you upgrade to 8.10 ]. Changes are, you may never get your ubuntu to boot up after upgrade.....
[01:53] <Sawyer-> n8tuser I've reinstalled the whole NX product but the same problem reappears
[01:53] <n8tuser> Azhi_Dahaka-> install it then, sudo apt-get install debootstrap
[01:53] <gyroscope> hi guys, can i use side button of my mouse in kde? (i want to use them with konqueror)
[01:53] <Azhi_Dahaka> I want to check if MAYBE flushing it and making it just get the crap from the cd would work
[01:53] <secret901> JFo: no, I'm using a laptop.
[01:54] <jdnewmil> my wife's 8.04 won't accept her password when the screensaver prompts for it... but she can "switch users" and that works... plain US keyboard layout... ideas?
[01:54] <n8tuser> Azhi_Dahaka-> do you want to try my suggestion or not?
[01:54] <secret901> JFo: this new version allows me to also output to TV if I connect the S-video port
[01:54] <_2> tchwang ok good luck with it.   i'm out for a while.
[01:54] <Azhi_Dahaka> can't we do both?
[01:54] <Flannel> plouffe: Odd.  Well, the only thingsthat look out of place in the dist-upgrade are the things being held back.  Lets... try this: `apt-cache policy openmovieeditor ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-minimal` go ahead and pastebin that and we'll hopefully know whats going on (your sources.list and update look fine)
[01:54] <HRshovinstuff> readline is teh l@me
[01:54] <dug_> tchwang: yeah if you use partimage you can get an exact snapshot of your partition before upgrading
[01:54] <Azhi_Dahaka> anyway, debootstrap is not on the list of packages
[01:55] <n8tuser> Azhi_Dahaka-> i dont think so, because you have to chroot and such..but initially perhaps its possible
[01:55] <Sawyer-> n8tuser it even renders everything unusable on the local user interface
[01:55] <n8tuser> Azhi_Dahaka-> on hardy? sudo apt-get install debootstrap   and it cannot find it?
[01:56] <n8tuser> Sawyer--> am not familiar or forgotten how NX works..
[01:56] <Azhi_Dahaka> yep
[01:56] <Azhi_Dahaka> cannot find it
[01:56] <Sawyer-> n8tuser ok, thanks for the tips anyway
[01:56] <Hilikus_> hey guys, i have a web server running on ubuntu server, when i'm in my laptop in the lan i connect to it using its hostname, but when i'm outside of the lan i connect to it using its external hostname (dynip). my problem is that i cant bookmark anything because if i do it locally then it wont work enternally and viceversa
[01:56] <Azhi_Dahaka> Couldn't find package debootstrap
[01:56] <n8tuser> Sawyer--> sorry not much help today
[01:56] <riz0n> is there a good web-based management tool (like cpanel) that i can install on ubuntu to manage the apache server, users, etc. etc?
[01:56] <Hilikus_> any ideas how to fix this?
[01:57] <terrestre> someone having problems with speedtouch 330 usb internet conection? using intrepid
[01:57] <plouffe> Flannel: this is the apt-cache http://paste.ubuntu.com/65489/
[01:57] <Thedjatclubrock> Any clue why an Ubuntu LiveCD would have a gnome-panel reset when I open an app?
[01:57] <n8tuser> Azhi_Dahaka-> and you are running hardy? thats really odd..  apt-cache search debootstrap
[01:57] <riz0n> Hilikus_: are you using virtual aliases?
[01:57] <sysop_> Hello
[01:57] <Azhi_Dahaka> nothing
[01:58] <Azhi_Dahaka> yes, I installed hardy one month ago
[01:58] <Hilikus> riz0n no
[01:58] <Hilikus> riz0n thats when you have a1.hostname.com a2.hostname.com etc right?
[01:59] <Flannel> plouffe: Odd.  openmovieeditor should be held back, but not the other two.  At any rate, it wont eb the end of theworld if they are.  Lets go ahead with the dist-upgrade, and see where we're at at the end of it.  We may hvae to manually fiddle with one of those metapackages, but they're just metapackages.
[01:59] <n8tuser> Azhi_Dahaka-> you repository list may not be looking at the correct urls..can you paste your /etc/apt/sources.list
[01:59] <Malgr2> n8tuser: I only have a loopback connection.
[01:59] <n8tuser> in pastebin off course
[01:59] <Sawyer-> basically this is exactly the same as my problem http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/freenx-knx/2008-October/007462.html
[01:59] <n8tuser> Malgr2-> why only that?
[01:59] <plouffe> Flannel what's a metapackage?
[02:00] <blak> Everytime I use gnome network manager and I use an encrypted wireless network it asks for a keychain password... i don't know where or h ow to set this up... If i don't use this i have to put in the wifi key every time i restart the computer. What is going on with this after 8.10 update?
[02:00] <plouffe> Flannel: so I have to download the 2GB?
[02:00] <Flannel> plouffe: It depends on other packages (to make installation easier) but doesn't provide anything itself.
[02:00] <Tom_Davis> plouffe: one package name that grabs a bunch of other packages
[02:00] <Flannel> plouffe: I suppose so.
[02:00] <Tom_Davis> plouffe: such as ubuntu-desktop
[02:00] <n8tuser> Sawyer--> you are using solaris or ubuntu?
[02:00] <Sawyer-> n8tuser ubuntu
[02:01] <plouffe> Thanks Flannel Tom_Davis
[02:01] <NightDragon> help!
[02:01] <Malgr2> n8tuser: I just updated my laptop from Hardy to Intrepid, and I had a previous wireless connection set up for my home, and now there's no network managers.  It was a fine connection before hand, well, the router can go diaf, but that's beside the point.
[02:01] <n8tuser> Sawyer--> i cant remember my usage of NX..sorry
[02:01] <NightDragon> major major problems with my system after i upgraded my ubuntu \
[02:01] <Sawyer-> n8tuser all I'm saying, is that everything worked just like it should, until I ran some updates and suddenly weird problems emerge
[02:02] <CardiacKid> hello
[02:02] <n8tuser> Sawyer--> if you dont use NX, everything is okay?
[02:02] <_2> some common "meta-packages" are ubuntu-desktop gnome kubuntu-desktop kde xubuntu-desktop ubuntu-base ubuntu-minimal ...  the list is long.
[02:02] <JFo> secret901, ok
[02:02] <CardiacKid> I'm using this tutorial to move my /home directory
[02:02] <CardiacKid> http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition/
[02:02] <Flannel> CardiacKid: This one is a bit more step-by-step:
[02:03] <Flannel> !separatehome | CardiacKid
[02:03] <bdog> how do I know if I need to upgrade?
[02:03] <CardiacKid> I need help w/ the got it
[02:03] <CardiacKid> I already moved it
[02:03] <NightDragon> help
[02:03] <\kG> does netmanager-pptp work on hardy 64bit?
[02:03] <CardiacKid> I just need to add an entry to the fstab so it mounts on boot.
[02:03] <_2> bdog you don't "need" to.  it's a question of "want" not "need"
[02:03] <temppy> how do I turn off the keyring thing?  It keeps asking me to enter my password in order to log onto my wifi network, and I would rather it just log on
[02:03] <meoblast001> hi
[02:03] <bdog> _2 how do I find out what verison I have?
[02:03] <n8tuser> Malgr2-> what shows up in your /etc/network/interfaces file?  can you paste that in pastebin please?
[02:04] <meoblast001> how do i set up a user server where i create users on a server and remote login from any system on my network?
[02:04] <_2> bdog lsb_release -a
[02:04] <Flannel> CardiacKid: The second one explains how to do that
[02:04] <Malgra> Sure, it's gonna' be a minute though, I've got to transfer it over a computer.
[02:04] <Azhi_Dahaka> ok, i'm gonna try this: I have renamed source.list and i'm gonna give it a shot with the Alternate CD
[02:04] <Tom_Davis> meoblast001: probably create users on the ubuntu box and ssh
[02:04] <meoblast001> my school has a similar system set up with Windows users with Windows machines and I want to know how to do the equivilant with Ubuntu
[02:04] <\kG> anyone know if the vpn issue for 64bit has been resolved?
[02:04] <meoblast001> Tom_Davis: with an X session though
[02:04] <n8tuser> Malgra-> no sweat..put my nick in front so i dont miss your responses
[02:04] <_2> bdog i'm still using dapper, and it's still supported here, or at lease is supposed to be.
[02:04] <bdog> bdog@bdog-desktop:~$ lsb_release -a
[02:04] <bdog> No LSB modules are available.
[02:04] <bdog> Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
[02:04] <bdog> Description:	Ubuntu 8.04.1
[02:04] <bdog> Release:	8.04
[02:04] <FloodBot3> bdog: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:04] <bdog> Codename:	hardy
[02:05] <Sawyer-> n8tuser yes obviously it seems that way
[02:05] <canen_> hello, have a quick question. is there any particular reason why ubuntu build all terminals without 256 support?
[02:05] <bdog> is I need to update?
[02:05] <_2> bdog both dapper 6.6 and hardy 8.4 are LTS long term support releases.
[02:05] <bazhang> bdog, only if you wish to.
[02:05] <n8tuser> Sawyer--> purge NX and then re-install it
[02:05] <Flannel> bdog: You can upgrade if you like.  Butyou're on a LTS, so you're supported for 3 years if youd prefer to upgrade every 3 years instead of 6 months.
[02:05] <user_> Well this is not too bad. Running intrepid as virtual machine.
[02:05] <theGeekPirate> sup all
[02:05] <bdog> oh ok
[02:06] <netyire> hi all! just upgraded to ibex! nice gui, but the network manager disappeared :-( any ideas how to get it back?
[02:06] <n8tuser> canen_-> 256 which?
[02:06] <Sawyer-> n8tuser like I mentioned earlier, I have tried that and the same issue still appears
[02:06] <plouffe> Flannel: the dist-upgrade failed http://paste.ubuntu.com/65492/
[02:06] <NightDragon> help help help pleas
[02:06] <meoblast001> Tom_Davis, any ideas?
[02:06] <CardiacKid> so I just add the line '/dev/sdb1 /home ext3 nodev,nosuid 0 2' to the fstab?
[02:06] <n8tuser> Sawyer--> dont forget, 8.10 is far too new, perhaps NX does not support 8.10 for now
[02:06] <Tom_Davis> meoblast001: using gui or text?
[02:06] <Sawyer-> n8tuser I am not using 8.10 but 8.04
[02:06] <Flannel> plouffe: Looks like some mirror problems (this may be due to overloaded servers surrounding the release).  Try a different mirror.
[02:06] <user_> I upgraded my old desktop to ibex and it trashed the upgrade.
[02:06] <Flannel> !mirror | plouffe
[02:06] <canen_> n8tuser: colors
[02:07] <meoblast001> Tom_Davis, i want to be able to login to a GUI gnome session
[02:07] <JFo> secret901, everything I am finding points to a possible driver bug, but I don't have much more detail than that. Still looking...
[02:07] <Flannel> plouffe: to do that, you switch the es.archive.ubuntu.com to the URL of your new mirror (in your sources.list)
[02:07] <meoblast001> so i login on one machine to the server and im logged in with preferences and files from the server
[02:07] <n8tuser> Sawyer--> ows.. i really cant assist you with NX for now..my memory is zapped on that
[02:07] <Tom_Davis> meoblast001: from other ubuntu boxes?
[02:07] <meoblast001> yes
[02:07] <n8tuser> canen_-> where are you looking at those settings?
[02:07] <Sawyer-> n8tuser no worries, I figure it has something to do with the issue about the graphics drivers I struggled with earlier
[02:07] <meoblast001> i want to basically use preferences,files, and usernames from one ubuntu box on another in X
[02:07] <meoblast001> GNOME
[02:08]  * jaypur is away: ocupado no momento, aguarde...
[02:08] <Tom_Davis> meoblast001: ok, I havent done this but you should be able to access the central x-server as if it was local
[02:08] <riz0n> is there a good web-based management tool (similar to cpanel) that i can install on ubuntu to manage the apache server, users, DNS, etc. etc?
[02:08]  * jaypur is back (gone 00:00:19)
[02:08] <canen_> n8tuser: i am not looking at any settings.
[02:08] <Tom_Davis> meoblast001: thus giving you the appearance of gnome but its not running locally
[02:08] <meoblast001> Tom_Davis, can i do that if im not administrator on this current machine? im doing this because my computer is broken and i want to set something up universal so i can use other computers in the house
[02:08] <Sawyer-> n8tuser I figure I will have to purge the nvidia drivers and force to get it working on the native ones
[02:09] <temppy> !keyring
[02:09] <Tom_Davis> meoblast001: you will need root access for this project
[02:09]  * jaypur is away: não posso respoder, aguarde.
[02:09] <meoblast001> Tom_Davis, i dont want to run Gnome on the server
[02:09] <meoblast001> and i guess im screwed... i'll just use this account ont his computer
[02:09] <canen_> n8tuser: traditionally all most terminals (rxvt) are built without 256 support. you usually have to do a custom build to get it working
[02:10] <canen_> n8tuser: i was wondering about the reason behind it
[02:10] <Tom_Davis> meoblast001: not so much screwed as I dont have a good answer for you, perhaps someone else can help, sorry
[02:10] <Mrono> Where do i config my touch pad, the mouse settings don't do enough
[02:10] <meoblast001> k
[02:10] <Tom_Davis> meoblast001: it appears that you are attempting roaming profiles on ubuntu, might google that
[02:11] <n8tuser> canen_-> i didnt even know about that fact
[02:11] <Tom_Davis> I could do it in AD but not ubuntu
[02:11] <KlinkMeister> Any ideas getting opengl on intel video card in a dell laptop?
[02:11] <canen_> n8tuser: yeah, it is PITA
[02:11] <canen_> for me anyway
[02:12] <NightDragon> bleh
[02:12] <NightDragon> 8.10 nuked my xorg.conf file. can anybody help?
[02:12] <n8tuser> canen_-> you have good eyesight to distingguish that many colors
[02:12] <skyapple> anyone available for a bit of help, trying to get ubuntu installed for the first time and getting grub error 5
[02:12] <blak> Everytime I use gnome network manager and I use an encrypted wireless network it asks for a keychain password... i don't know where or h ow to set this up... If i don't use this i have to put in the wifi key every time i restart the computer. What is going on with this after 8.10 update?
[02:12] <Malgra> n8tuser
[02:13] <Malgra> http://paste.ubuntu.com/65496/
[02:13] <Malgra> Sorry, typing with one hand.
[02:13] <canen_> n8tuser: no but my vim colorschemes look like crap without it
[02:13] <NightDragon> wanking it with the other? :)
[02:13] <plouffe> Flannel: I switched to another server and it told me upgrade done 0 upgraded, etc..
[02:13] <plouffe> Flannel: in dist-upgrade
[02:13] <CardiacKid> thanks for the help guys, I'm only 1 week into learning Linux and you've help a ton already.
[02:14] <MetalHeadDead> can somone point me in the right direction of how to enable the encryption folder in 8.10, i found a link on it and i cant find it todayh
[02:14] <Dr_willis> !encrypt
[02:14] <Dr_willis> :(
[02:14] <skyapple> Anyone help me with Grub Error 5 ?
[02:14] <terrestre> someone having the "starting bluetooth" hang up in intrepid ibex?
[02:14] <LF|Irssi> Anyone good with bash scripting? I need a script that would simpy delete a log file if it got too large, like say over 2 megs and it would have to chmod 777 that file so it's readable
[02:14] <juniecho> hi, i want to install vmware and i can't find it, from add/remove programs, how could i install it?
[02:14] <skyapple> thats my fdisk -l output   http://paste.ubuntu.com/65497/
[02:15] <skyapple> im getting grub error 5
[02:15] <Dr_willis> LF|Irssi   the advanced-bash-scripting guide problery has an example close to that.
[02:15] <Dr_willis> !abs | LF|Irssi
[02:15] <Flannel> !encrypted | Dr_willis, MetalHeadDead
[02:15] <plouffe> Flannel: but when I go into update manager it still shows me this list of 798 updates and says to do a partial upgrade
[02:15] <MetalHeadDead> thank you Flannel
[02:16] <noaxi> If I am not mistaken the cleaning of log files is done by logrotate
[02:16] <LF|Irssi> Dr_willis: yeah im familar with that site, but im really bad at scripting :/
[02:16] <MethodOne> !vmware
[02:16] <Flannel> plouffe: is your mirror up to date?  Also, did you do sudo apt-get update since changing?
[02:16] <Dr_willis> LF|Irssi   its a html guide.. its worth checking out. and bookmarking. . and it has dozens of examples. :)
[02:17] <juniecho> MethodOne: thanks
[02:17] <skyapple> Anyone available to give me some quick help?
[02:17] <n8tuser> Malgra-> what interfaces do you like to add? eth0? wireless?
[02:17] <Malgra> Wireless
[02:18]  * jaypur is back (gone 00:09:22)
[02:18] <n8tuser> !who | Malgra
[02:18] <blak> Everytime I use gnome network manager and I use an encrypted wireless network it asks for a keychain password... i don't know where or h ow to set this up... If i don't use this i have to put in the wifi key every time i restart the computer. What is going on with this after 8.10 update?
[02:19] <n8tuser> blak put it in the interfaces file,  man interfaces please
[02:19] <Malgra> n8tuser, I'm speaking on behalf of GodfatherofEire
[02:19] <skyapple> Can anyone help please I get grub error 5  http://paste.ubuntu.com/65497/   thats my partitions
[02:19] <Flannel> !away > jaypur
[02:19] <MetalHeadDead> where can you change your sudo password?
[02:19] <n8tuser> Malgra-> you have to tell me about your wifi nic card
[02:19] <NightDragon> can anyone help i cant get my display to work correctly
[02:20] <NightDragon> it wont load the "raedon" driver
[02:20] <Flannel> MetalHeadDead: Your "sudo password" is your regular user password.
[02:20] <Dr_willis> MetalHeadDead   thats your initial users password. you can use the 'passwd' command to change it
[02:20] <skyapple> ok back to google then
[02:20] <n8tuser> Malgra->   man interfaces   to get an idea of what should be on that file
[02:20] <MetalHeadDead> Does Ubuntu have a separate root pass?
[02:20] <Dr_willis> !root | MetalHeadDead
[02:20]  * afallenhope is now known as TetrisBlock
[02:20] <Flannel> MetalHeadDead: no, the root account is locked
[02:20] <jdnewmil> my wife's 8.04 won't accept her password when the screensaver prompts for it... but she can "switch users" and that works... plain US keyboard layout... ideas?
[02:21] <knopwob> i've got a cpu usage of 100% all the time, even when the pc idles but ps -aux doesn't show the process using all of the cpu
[02:21] <blak> n8tuser: this does not address the keyring/keychain issue
[02:21] <n8tuser> Malgra-> if you are using dhcp for it, it would a simple line of   iface wlan0 inet dhcp
[02:21] <MetalHeadDead> hmm, so if someone guesses my everyday pass, they can do whatever they want then
[02:21] <MetalHeadDead> that sucks
[02:21] <Flannel> MetalHeadDead: Same as if they guess your root password.  How is it any different?
[02:21] <n8tuser> blak-> try it first, put your wpa2 keys on that file
[02:21] <dmitriyv> hey guys someone ehre suggested to me to get an intel pro 100 NIC since my mobo one is the crappy atl2 one, but from reading up on the forums I see intel pro 100 cards having troubles too, I just want something to plug in there and be done, if I need to reinstall ubuntu so be it, just would liek some input
[02:21] <MetalHeadDead> Flannel: I would make a more difficult root pass then what my user account would be
[02:22] <MetalHeadDead> since i would use it less often
[02:22] <bill> i got a video playback problem!!! anybody???
[02:22] <NightDragon> help! i cant get my computer to start correctly!
[02:22] <c00p> NightDragon: u need to give mroe info that than ... lol - do u get to a grub screen ?
[02:22] <Flannel> MetalHeadDead: well, you could always just make it so your everyday user doesn't have sudo access.
[02:22] <masque7> would anyone mind if i compared my smb.conf file to theirs?
[02:22] <NightDragon> coop: i have logs for you if you are interested:
[02:23] <NightDragon> :)
[02:23] <secret901> JFo: any luck?
[02:23] <blak> n8tuser: What is the point of this new keychain thing and using network manager in gnome then? You are basically suggesting to not even use them?
[02:23] <MetalHeadDead> Flannel: good idea thanks
[02:23] <c00p> logs from what ?
[02:23] <bill> every video i play always shows over any windows....any idea how to disable that (not the always on top option)
[02:23] <c00p> ubuntu syslog ?
[02:23] <NightDragon> from the failed startup
[02:23] <Flannel> MetalHeadDead: Users in the "admin" group have access to sudo by default, so create a new user without putting them in the admin group.
[02:23] <NightDragon> 0.log, xorg.0.log, xorg.conf
[02:23] <JFo> secret901, not yet, everything has been coming to a dead end
[02:23] <h4x0r> is somebody else having problems with network between ubuntu and windows?
[02:24] <c00p> NightDragon: is it ur X that is just screwing up ?
[02:24] <dmitriyv> so any input on a NIC?
 we all had.!!!!!
[02:24] <masque7> h4x0r: yes
[02:24] <n8tuser> blak-> that keychain is required for access to network interfaces
[02:24] <NightDragon> well it keeps going into "low graphics mode" and i cant get out of it
[02:24] <adey> HI evrbdy .. i try to patch my acx100 drivers but i got an make err: http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/392646/ why is that?!
[02:24] <MetalHeadDead> Flannel: perfect solution, thanks I should have thought of that :) doh!
[02:24] <c00p> how are people liking 8.10 ?
[02:24] <JFo> secret901, most of the linked bugs I am finding seem to point to driver issues, but when I start heading that way the related bugs are due to some external monitor
[02:24] <h4x0r> do you guys update to intrepid?
[02:24] <blak> n8tuser: it suggest i have set a keychain password, i never was given the option, how do i set my keychain password?
 it's good
[02:24] <kisu> hey guys, I have a bare install of hardy heron, I got an image of intrepid, mounted it, pointed synaptic at it, it finds the drive but wont import due to W: Signature verification failed for: /media/cdrom/dists/intrepid/Release.gpg, any suggestions?
[02:24] <thiebaude> c00p:i love it
[02:24] <c00p> I haven't got it yet - Mirrors are so hammard - had it going for 5 hours yesterday and another 2 today ... haha
[02:24] <secret901> JFo: I think it's some botched configuration, since it works fine in the LiveCD
[02:24] <NightDragon> c00p: other then the fact that it broke absoultely EVERYTHING, not bad :)
[02:24] <n8tuser> blak-> what i said is try to put your wpa/wpa2 key in the interfaces file, and see if it still requires you to fool around with keyring stuff
[02:24] <mr_polite> c00p: its good - im back to 8.04 though for lack of legacy nvidia drivers
[02:24] <JFo> secret901, I really think so too
[02:25] <NightDragon> but thats okay, its linux... thats par for the course when you upgrade :)
[02:25] <GarryFre> I have a Ubuntu 8.10 system with two hard drives. I cannot write to the second drive. I goggled around and tried some stuff that  just messed up  my install so badly I lost my gdm   and had to re-install. Can anyone point me to the REAL and correct instructions for my problem, where ubuntu thinks the hard drive is not mine. I suppose it think its owned by the cat.
[02:25] <dmitriyv> id tell you how 8.10 was if my NIC worked with it, ever since the upgrades from the -19 kernel ive been screwed :P
[02:25] <_2> c00p some are hating it termendously, some are loving it deliciously.
 i got mine running good.....
[02:25] <bill> every video i play always shows over any windows....any idea how to disable that (not the always on top option)
[02:25] <JFo> I am one of the ones who loves it so far
[02:25] <dmitriyv> im jsut trying to find a PCI one that would have no problems
[02:25] <n8tuser> blak oh i am not aware you have not setup your keyring password, it is usually the root password..
[02:25] <GTDuffman> et
[02:25] <bill> every video i play always shows over any windows....any idea how to disable that (not the always on top option)
[02:25] <c00p> anyone here successfully used the "Distribution Upgrade" from 8.04 to .10 ?
[02:25] <blak> n8tuser: alright i understand that, i think it would be better to utilize this "new" keyring thing though so it is not just sitting in my interfaces  file you know?
[02:25] <NightDragon> yes
[02:25] <Flannel> MetalHeadDead: You can also give users more fine grained access via sudo, so if you want your non-admin user to be able to use update-manager, but not anything else for instance, you can do that.
[02:25] <GarryFre> I am used to editing the old style fstab, but not this current one.
[02:25] <c00p> cause I am running that now ... :)
[02:25] <bill> every video i play always shows over any windows....any idea how to disable that (not the always on top option)
[02:25] <blak> n8tuser: how do you set it?
[02:26] <dmitriyv> bill stop spaming please
[02:26] <n8tuser> blak what sits on your interfaces file is the wpa2 key not the root password
[02:26] <philippe_> Anyone else experiencing slow & sluggish firefox in Intrepid?
[02:26] <PMantis> If I boot from a CD, and the kernel says:  "[  7.sometime-here] Not responding."... *WHAT* is not responding??
 works good here
[02:26] <n8tuser> blak its been a while, but lets see.. what happens when you do a sudo -i
[02:26] <blak> n8tuser: of course, yes the root pass would make sense for the keyring password but it isnt that i guess... it asked to set it once and i thought i did but it obvviously isnt that password either... i never noticed keyring anything until after update to intrepid
[02:27] <bill> every video i play always shows over any windows....any idea how to disable that (not the always on top option)
[02:27] <blak> n8tuser switches to root
[02:27] <n8tuser> blak why did you even upgraded to ibex?
[02:27] <blak> n8tuser why not?
[02:27] <n8tuser> blak then once it switches, type  passwd
[02:27] <_2> PMantis what it says above that
[02:27] <n8tuser> blak is there a necessity to upgrade?
[02:27] <GarryFre> Can anyone help me or do I have to fight google for another six hours or more?
[02:28] <ChinaForge> I user apt-get install linux-kernel-devel on ubuntu 8.10,but system report can't find,how can i do?
[02:28] <n8tuser> ChinaForge-> it may not be available yet, wait for a week perhaps?
[02:28] <GarryFre> I think you need to install  build essentials to start
[02:28] <_2> PMantis something like trying pfft driver    or attempting to blah register    the messages should all read coherantly togther
[02:28] <javiolo_> !java
[02:28] <woli> how can i disable the system beep in ibex?
[02:28] <Flannel> blak, n8tuser: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager#Automatic%20Keyring
[02:29] <PMantis> _2: I choose to start ubuntu from CD, it finishes "Loading Kernel", sits for 5 seconds, clears screen... then "Not responding."  happens 3 times, reboots.
[02:29] <g_> hey I cant get the nvidia driver to install and my restricted drivers manager doesnt even show anything anymore, where can i check for the problem what logs do i have to open up?
[02:29] <blak> Flannel: NICE
[02:29] <PMantis> _2: So, I see *nothing* above this line.
[02:29] <ChinaForge> n8tuser:thank you.
[02:29] <Flannel> blak: specifically, the second bit there, about changing it
[02:29] <dignan>  22:28:41 up 666 days, 14:42,  2 users,  load average: 0.35, 0.35, 0.28
[02:29] <alienjeff> o/ dignan
 i feel like terrorizing #ubuntu
 brb
[02:30] <dignan> Mission Accomplished
[02:30] <Flannel> dignan: you've got some kernel updates you need to apply
[02:30] <alienjeff> heh
[02:30] <PMantis> _2: I tried 6.10, 8.04, 8.10  32 bit, 64 bit... I even tried a windows CD, it just reboots.
[02:30] <GarryFre> Does anyone have a URL for adding another hard drive to Ubuntu 8.x were it will mount on bootup, recognize my account  in wr mode?
[02:30] <Malgr1> n8tuser, after my last line, I disconnected, can you repeat anything you said to me/
[02:30] <dignan> Flannel: I do?
[02:30] <dignan> Linux slaughterhouse 2.6.25-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Jun 14 18:07:19 CEST 2008 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
[02:30] <_2> PMantis without seeing what it's attempting i would have trouble diagnosing that, but an educated guess would be the cd/dvd drive is not repsonding to the signal the kernel is sending
[02:30] <Flannel> dignan: Please take offtopic chatter elsewhere.
[02:30] <n8tuser> Malgra-> if you are using dhcp for it, it would a simple line of   iface wlan0 inet dhcp
[02:30] <GarryFre> !drives
[02:30] <GarryFre> !add drive
[02:30] <dignan> 22:29 < Flannel> dignan: you've got some kernel updates you need to apply
[02:30] <dignan> Which ones?
[02:30] <GarryFre> wtf???!!!????
[02:30] <Flannel> GarryFre: Add it to your fstab: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab
[02:30] <woli> can anybody explain to me how to disable the system beep, as I had done with Hardy Heron?
[02:31] <Malgr1> n8tuser: Still says there's nothing found.
[02:31] <GarryFre> Thanks,
[02:31] <alienjeff> woli:  cut one of the PC speaker leads
[02:31] <dignan> Oh, I get it... since i have a 666 day uptime... Well, you didn't realize that I have a TIME MACHINE
[02:31] <n8tuser> Malgr1-> you have to add that line in the interfaces file,  man interfaces  to get more info
[02:31] <woli> alienjeff: ok
[02:31] <_2> PMantis is that a laptop with both a cd and floppy drives in it ?
[02:32] <progre55> hi everybody
[02:32] <stweston> hey.
[02:32] <progre55> need help
[02:32] <_2> PMantis ?
[02:32] <stweston> so do I
[02:32] <PMantis> _2: It's a system I just built - Gigabyte motherboard, core2-quad, 4GB ram, DVDROM drive.
[02:32] <BoltClock1> hi, i upgraded to intrepid last night and could use pidgin 2.5.2 just fine, but since just now, pidgin freezes once a message is sent or received on any protocol. and no one on #pidgin is replying...
[02:32] <thread_au1> MetalHeadDead: it uses your std password...
[02:32] <mikel> im back hope nobody was looking for me lol
[02:32] <PMantis> _2: Just trying to get a clie as to what is bad.
[02:32] <thread_au1> ugh, was scrolled up :$
[02:32] <V_3> HUY..
[02:32] <PMantis> _2: s/clie/clue/
[02:32] <progre55> have installed ubuntu on my sony vaio vgn-fw21e, but cannot make the wireless network work.. it does not even see the wireless card
[02:33] <stweston> I can't seem to find out what dir the iMac G3 stores its CDROM drive. Anyone willing to help?
[02:33] <_2> PMantis i would think that perhaps the cd/dvd drive is not configured correctly.   is it on an ide cable ?
[02:33] <dignan> progre55: do an lspci
[02:33] <PMantis> Yes.
[02:33] <PMantis> _2: yes
[02:33] <dignan> progre55: what do you see about your wifi card there
[02:33] <_2> PMantis is it alone on that cable ?
[02:33] <mikel> stweston: are you in ubuntu?
[02:33] <stweston> mikel: server.
[02:33] <stweston> mikel: installing
[02:34] <PMantis> _2: yes, master.
[02:34] <_2> PMantis does it have jumpers to set it to master or slave ?
[02:34] <mikel> stweston: hmm not so sure in linux is /cdrom
[02:34] <progre55> dignan: sec
[02:34] <PMantis> _2: Yes, set to master.
[02:34] <PMantis> _2: I tried 3 diff IDE cables
[02:34] <progre55> dignan: now i'm under windows, as i do not have inet connection under linux :)
[02:34] <stweston> mikel: I understand that, but I've tried a directory search of /dev and it dosn't have anything, same for /cdrom
[02:34] <_2> PMantis ok try plugging it in the other plug on the cable if you can.
[02:34] <dignan> progre55: what kind of wifi card
[02:35] <EruditeHermit> hi, does anyone know how to make an image of an install so that it can be transferred across to another hard drive?
[02:35] <Malgr1> n8tuser: there's still no network manager found.
[02:35] <PMantis> _2: I even tried connecting the CDROM to a USB adapter.
[02:35] <stweston> mikel: well, anything relevant, at least. /cdrom has nothing.
[02:35] <PMantis> _2: ok...
[02:35] <_2> PMantis and try moving the jumper to cable select
[02:35] <mikel> stweston: you must first type sudo mount /cdrom
[02:35] <stweston> mikel: aah.
[02:35] <progre55> dignan: but it said something like "Intel corporation Unknown device 4232
[02:35] <dignan> do you know what it's called or?
[02:35] <dignan> it's probably been done before
[02:35] <n8tuser> Malgr1-> adding those lines does not enable network manager
[02:35] <stweston> mikel: sudo not found. it's an install disk.
[02:35] <balz> is it possible to run deluge as a daemon in the background and to only access it via webUI?
[02:35] <woli> I'm having sound issues since the update to Intrepid Ibex from Hardy Heron... Does somebody share my same misfortune?
[02:35] <dignan> just search ubuntu's forums.. you just need to a. load a kernel module or b. finagle ndiswrapper
[02:36] <Sawyer-> what's the command called to reconfigure X window graphics
[02:36] <mikel> stweston: are you currently root?
[02:36] <n8tuser> Malgr1-> now you can  sudo ifup wlan0
[02:36] <stweston> mikel: I believe so, but I'm only installing.
[02:36] <Sawyer-> I think ubuntu just successfully destroyed my television
[02:36] <progre55> dignan: i'm new to linux, so.. :) dont even know what you are talking about ))
[02:36] <stweston> mikel: so, sudo won't work, I think.
[02:36] <PMantis> _2: Trying it now... This is a DVDROM that I've always used for my installs, 'cause it's damn fast and always works.
[02:37] <_2> PMantis i really don't know.   but just from what you have described.  it's probably the cd/dvd drive not playing nice with other hardware.     if you can't find it there.  you might look into setting the bus speed on the kernel command line at boot time.    i would have to google for info on that.
[02:37] <progre55> dignan: how do you configure ndiswrapper?
[02:37] <dime> hello.. how do i install kernel support for raid?
[02:37] <dignan> progre55: by googling for "configure ndiswrapper". I've never had the misfortune as my wifi card has native support
[02:37] <dime> is there a package that does it?
[02:38] <mikel> stweston: in the terminal prompt it should say something like ?@? what does it say?
[02:38] <n8tuser> Sawyer--> try  /usr/bin/displayconfig-gtk  if that dont work, try  python  /usr/bin/displayconfig-gtk
[02:38] <dignan> there is likely an extensive howto on ubuntu's site
[02:38] <stweston> mikel: it says sudo: not found.
[02:38] <favro> !raid | dime
[02:38] <progre55> dignan: thanks :) by the way, ubuntu 8.10 is out, i'll first try to install it, hope it's gonna work :)
[02:38] <_2> PMantis same thing? or new hat ?
[02:39] <KenzoIX_> hi, my onboard sound card only have 3 jacks, how do I make ubuntu output surround sound via line-in and mic-in ports?
[02:39] <mikel> stweston: when you type there should be something before your text shows up it will look simalar to Mikel@?>
[02:39] <dignan> progre55: i don't even use ubuntu. i just came here to cause chaos
[02:39] <stweston> no. it's just ~ #
[02:39] <nihil> Brazilians?
[02:39] <stweston> mikel: ^
[02:39] <progre55> dignan: lol :) what do you use?
[02:39] <Stargazer> how do i rename a flash drive ?
[02:39] <dignan> progre55: Windows Mojave.. It's way better than Vista
[02:39] <RonPaul> i ant to setup a RAID array.  can i pick someone's brain?
[02:40] <dignan> Have you tried it?
[02:40] <MetalHeadDead> i have an issue with my login screen with my install since the beginning, I have a ten year old IBM monitor and it's resolution is limited.  Because of this i had to hook up an LCD monitor to my pc to install linux and change the resolution to a format it can handle.  But one problem remains i have never seen the login screen because the res is to high.  Can I make my login screen just basic text then boot as normal?
[02:40] <dignan> Ubuntu is windows with extra themes lol
[02:40] <progre55> dignan: nope, the first time i'm hearing it :)

[02:40] <mikel> Stweston: its seems you are in a busybox terminal and not in the ubuntu terminal busybox should only show up ( in most cases) as an error correction util and i have pretty mutch no experience with it im sorry
[02:40] <favro> !pt | nihil
[02:40] <dignan> progre55: oh, you don't watch tv then
[02:40] <_2> Stargazer if you mean change the lable on an fs, if it's an ext# fs you can use tune2fs on it.
[02:41] <progre55> dignan: hmm.. has been a while :)
[02:41] <PMantis> _2: CS didn't change anything.
[02:41] <stweston> mikel: actually, I got there myself. I pressed alt+f2 to get to the shell
[02:41] <dime> i'm not looking to install ubuntu onto a raid
[02:41] <Stargazer> _2, i mean like _name it_ "Tank" or "FATAL," etc..
[02:41] <dime> i'm looking to create a new raid5 on my existing system
[02:41] <MetalHeadDead> i have to wait till my pc is booted and it beeps so i know its at the login screen and I blindly type my username and pass and then my settings take effect and my monitor works
[02:41] <nihil> Tks!
[02:41] <_Phil> Hello all. I seem to have an issue after updating from 8.04 to 8.10 using the alternate cd. I rebooted post upgrade, and got to the login screen, I then enter my uername and password and it just sits there doing nothing. I can switch to another TTY so I know it's not entirely hosed. Can anyone provide a direction where I might be able to investigate what's going on?
[02:41] <mikel> stweston: ah i c hold down and hit x y and z one at a time and tell me what happens
[02:41] <dime> i thoroughly read through http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-RAID-HOWTO.html
[02:41] <stweston> okay
[02:41] <mikel> stweston: hold down ctrl i mean
[02:41] <dignan> nihil: te gusta linux? va a pajerse con su huevos
[02:42] <_2> PMantis two ram sticks ?
[02:42] <stweston> nothing.
[02:42] <stweston> mikel: ^
[02:42] <PMantis> _2: I added nomce to the kernel line, and saw no additional information.
[02:42] <UbuntuDude> hello
[02:42] <dime> does ubuntu-desktop have raid support in the kernel?
[02:42] <PMantis> _2: I tried with 1 and 2, then a diff stick altogether.
[02:42] <_2> PMantis hmmm...
[02:43] <dr_willis> dime,  i do belive it does
[02:43] <dr_willis> !raid
[02:43] <mikel> stweston: ok im dumb it sais that becouse your in an install lol and you havent picked a machine name and user name so just type mount /cdrom
[02:43] <dime> according the that faq, it says "If your system has RAID support, you should have a file called /proc/mdstat"
[02:43] <dime> but i don't
[02:43] <stweston> mikel: okay.
[02:43] <stweston> mikel: "mount: not found"
[02:43] <UbuntuDude> anybody with massive sendmail e-mail attack/blast?
[02:44] <BoltClock1> i upgraded to intrepid last night and could use pidgin 2.5.2 just fine, but since just now, pidgin freezes once a message is sent or received on any protocol. and no one on #pidgin is replying so i came here...
[02:44] <Malgr1> n8tuser, how would I go about manually configuring sudo ifup wlan0?
[02:44] <NightDragon> help!
[02:44] <mikel> stweston: any reason in particular you went into terminal in the first place?
[02:44] <beto> como puedo configurar network manager?
[02:44] <n8tuser> Malgr1-> thats the command    sudo ifup wlan0   to bring up your wlan0 interface
[02:44] <_2> PMantis it almost has to be ["cd/dvd drive","ide bus/speed","cpu","ram"]  the kernel wont be playing with anything else at that juncture
[02:44] <stweston> mikel: to find out where the CDROM directory was located.
[02:45] <n8tuser> !en | beto
[02:45] <PMantis> _2: Yeah, REAL early in the boot.
[02:45] <stweston> mikel: shall I go back to the install process?
[02:45] <NightDragon> !en
[02:45] <n8tuser> !wa | beto
[02:45] <beto> ubottu: no comprehendo ingles
[02:45] <n8tuser> !es| beto
[02:45] <PMantis> _2: Not too likely to be RAM, since it's barely using any then...
[02:45] <NightDragon> !en | NightDragon
[02:45] <NightDragon> cool!
[02:45] <beto> ubottu: gracias senor
[02:45] <PMantis> _2: Trying another 52x CDROM drive.
[02:46] <PMantis> _2: Nope, same friggin thing
[02:46] <soreau> As I suspected, the Intrepid upgrade all but completely borked my ubuntu install. fglrx failed immediately, and while trying to fix that realized my xorg.conf was empty, then finally get gdm to load with the open drivers, and it gets to the gdm login screen and right when it flashes the login box, it starts gdm again, over and over in a loop
[02:46] <mikel> stweston: as you are running from the cd and not the install you are running in a live session and completly in ram so you wont be able to use the usual methods without first installing and i just dont know how to do stuff from ram lol
[02:46] <_Phil> Has anyone encountered what I'm seeing?
[02:46] <JFo> !compiz | JFo
[02:46] <NightDragon> i'm going to freak out
[02:46] <stweston> mikel: well, it's NOT a live version. it's in Ubuntu Server.
[02:46] <soreau> ! compiz | soreau
[02:46] <vluser> can someone tell me what I need to do to play DVD's in 8.10?
[02:46] <Malgr1> n8tuser: What, if any, are the modifier values for the "sudo ifup wlan0"?
[02:47] <_2> PMantis it will be checking ram addressing, setting up ramdisks, checking disk drive control, mounting and accessing the cd,...    but you aren't getting quite to the mount cdrom portion so......
[02:47] <stweston> mikel: so... but still, it's using the CD-ROM drive, so that shouldn't be a problem.
[02:47] <vluser> anybody?
[02:47] <vluser> !dvd vluser
[02:47] <PMantis> _2: True... it barely started the initrd.
[02:47] <dr_willis> !dvd
[02:47] <BoltClock1> exit
[02:48] <mikel> stweston: if you have not installled ubuntu server yet it is still running everything you see on your screen off of ram and directly from the cdrom which is technicly called a live session
[02:48] <dr_willis> to play comercial dvd's one need to enable the medibuntu repos and install that dcss package. i think.
[02:48] <MrObvious> Does wget allow FTP downloads?
[02:48] <stweston> mikel: I see. thanks for correcting me.
[02:48] <_2> PMantis well you got my two cents worth.   good luck with it.
[02:48] <dr_willis> MrObvious,  yes.
[02:48] <n8tuser> Malgr1-> none
[02:48] <MrObvious> Thanks.
[02:48] <_Phil> vlc is pretty good at dvd playback, try that
[02:48] <dr_willis> MrObvious,  it can download files via ftp. :)
[02:48] <vluser> how do I enabled the medibuntu repos?
[02:48] <dr_willis> !medibuntu
[02:48] <PMantis> _2: Thanks! Dunno what else to try, except call newegg and tell 'em SOMETHING ain't right.
[02:48] <MrObvious> Sweet.
[02:49] <_2> PMantis you might also mention it in #kernel  they might have better insight on that particular message
[02:49] <PMantis> _2: Ahhhh, true!
[02:49] <go_beep_yourself> !mp3
[02:49] <dreamnid> I just upgraded to Intrepid and now when I play movies in VLC, the colors are way off.  For example, skin appear blue.  It seems to work fine in mplayer though.  Anybody knows how to fix?
[02:49] <CardiacKid> I'm trying to share my Home Folder over a network and when I hit create share it  tells me "'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: share name mrusso is already a valid system user name"nd
[02:50] <CardiacKid> can I share the Home Folder
[02:50] <_Phil> Anyone seen this issue yet? After updating from 8.04 to 8.10 using the alternate cd. I rebooted post upgrade, and got to the login screen, I then enter my uername and password and it just sits there doing nothing. I can switch to another TTY so I know it's not entirely hosed. Can anyone provide a direction where I might be able to investigate what's going on? (This is on a Dell Inspiron 1501 notebook.)
[02:50] <mikel> sorry hit close lol
[02:50] <_2> PMantis when you get it sorted out, drop ole binarry a hint as to what it was.  i hate not knowing these things.
[02:50] <riz0n> I have traced a problem I am having with GDM down to a KVM switch I have hooked to my PC.. basically the KVM switch allows me to hook one monitor, keyboard, and mouse to two PC's. If my Ubuntu system boots with the KVM switch controlling the other PC (not the ubuntu) then Ubuntu boots to a screen saying that my video and monitor could not be detected properly. Is there any way to force ubuntu to use a certain video/monitor profile regardl
[02:50] <stweston> mikel: that's fine.
[02:50] <PMantis> _2: binarry ?
[02:50] <PMantis> _2: Whoooooooooooooaaaaaaaaah!
[02:51] <_2> PMantis base two  _2
[02:51] <PMantis> _2: The damn thing is BOOTING!
[02:51] <mikel> stweston: so other than just to look at the cdrom you dident need to access it?
[02:51] <vietcoop> Which file GRUB uses to read for booting time? Reading my /boot/grub/menu.lst I saw Ubuntu 8.10 entries, but they are not listed on GRUB booting screen? Please help :-(
[02:51] <dr_willis> riz0n,  ive seen others with kvm switch issues.. their fix was to basicially manually edit/configure the xorg.conf with the proper modes for their monitors
[02:51] <stweston> mikel: not really. I'm trying to mount it.
[02:51] <vluser> anybody got the address to the medibuntu repos?
[02:51] <Malgr1> n8tuser: So basically, I can't modify the configuration for sudo ifup wlan0?
[02:51] <{^KinG^}> I have a problem with the audio you hear very low, how can fix that
[02:51] <PMantis> _2: I just set "fail safe defaults" in the BIOS, and it started working!
[02:51] <juancarlos> hi
[02:51] <dr_willis> vietcoop,  it uses /boot/grub/menu.lst you sure you were not reading comments by mistake?
[02:51] <stweston> mikel: but that's really all.
[02:52] <KMan> hey guys
[02:52] <_2> PMantis ok it is then something to do with the drive or the timming.    but we still don't know which.
[02:52] <n8tuser> Malgr1-> nope, you can modify the /etc/network/interfaces file  .. have i suggested..  man interfaces
[02:52] <KMan> i need help... ubuntu isn't starting up properly
[02:52] <mikel> stweston: are you planning to install ubuntu server either way?
[02:52] <stweston> mikel: yes.
[02:52] <riz0n> thanks, the odd thing is, even if i accept low graphics mode, the next screen i see is a black screen. basically the system crashes... i can reboot and it reboots to low graphics mode (even if KVM is controlling other PC) but if i log in and create a session, all is well, but when I log out, the system crashes.
[02:52] <K_Dallas> Hi guys! I just wanted to say that it is getting way easier to convert people to ubuntu ;) Great job you all!
[02:52] <luddite> hey anyone ugrade ubuntu from 8.04 to 8.10 successfully?
[02:52] <stweston> mikel: I'm actually using it to get to Xubuntu, but that's (somewhat) beside the point.
[02:52] <refriedbeans19> hi, how do i set it so that i can login automatically?
[02:52] <NightDragon> fiz0n: arent you a sysadmin of something?
[02:53]  * _Phil needs help still *sob*
[02:53] <NightDragon> *riz0n
[02:53] <go_beep_yourself> DOES ANYBODY HAVE MP3S WORKING WITH AMAROK USING XINE BACKEND. SORRY MY CAPSLOCK KEY IS STUCK THANKS TO MY BROTHER.
[02:53] <dr_willis> refriedbeans19,  the login manager config tool has a tab for that.
[02:53] <yoyoned> vietcoop: how may linux installations d yo have
[02:53] <n8tuser> K_Dallas-> okay convert a few more millions.. :)
[02:53] <riz0n> yeah this little two site server i'm working on
[02:53] <refriedbeans19> dr_willis: thank you so much
[02:53] <_2> PMantis you probably set the bus speed to a lower "compatable" setting when you did that.    i'm gona put my money on bus speed until you can prove me wrong.
[02:53] <go_beep_yourself> AND I MEAN IN 8.10 WITH AMAROK USING XINE
[02:53] <NightDragon> oh. I meant irc
[02:53] <riz0n> oh no i'm not
[02:53] <mikel> stweston: ......your gonna use the server edition so you can get the dekstop edition im confused?
[02:53] <riz0n> but have heard very vaguely of the other riz0n
[02:54] <K_Dallas> n8tuser, I try one at a time ;) but I am thinking to organize a linuxfest but looking for support at the moment
[02:54] <vietcoop> yoyoned: http://pastebin.com/m6f4874c5
[02:54] <vietcoop> yoyoned: that is my menu.lst
[02:54] <PMantis> _2: Fair enough........
[02:54] <stweston> mikel: yes. there is no PPC disk image of xubuntu.
[02:54] <stweston> mikel: at least, currently.
[02:54] <vietcoop> I also install Kubuntu 7.10
[02:54] <CardiacKid> any tips on setting up a network share of the /home folder?
[02:54] <luddite> upgrading- anyone succeeded yet?
[02:54] <mikel> stweston: i think you may be wrong about that lemme check it out
[02:54] <riz0n> CardiacKid: use Samba
[02:54] <KMan> i am
