[02:56] <edlik1> My ubuntu and droid do not recognize eachother
[02:56] <Dr_Willis> Adem:  what do you want to write to a hard disk  using then?
[02:56] <Dr_Willis> Adem:  swap filesystem is special :) i guess.
[02:56] <Adem> I see gene234  thanks :)
[02:57] <Adem> So its kind of like overclocking?
[02:57] <Dr_Willis> Adem:  you can also make swap 'files' that could exist  on a normal filesuystem. or in ram disks.
[02:57] <Adem> in a way
[02:57] <Gaming4JC> ummm Saving to: `./adobe-flashplugin_<IP_ADDRESS>.orig.tar.gz' as sudo goes... where? xP
[02:57] <Gaming4JC> it's using wget
[02:57] <gene234> Adem: just think of it as extra memory
[02:57] <Dr_Willis> Adem:  its swaping out memory to a file/hard drive.. then moves it back.. same as you would load a image file  or any other data.
[02:57] <Adem> oo I see :D
[02:57] <Adem> thanks
[02:58] <its-me-again> ok so i go to /etc/default/grub right but tehre is no grub bootloader informatin there
[02:58] <Dr_Willis> windows does the exact same thing. sort of..  many other os'zs also do it.
[02:58] <its-me-again> no other installs are there
[02:58] <its-me-again> i have several os
[02:58] <Adem> yeah Dr_Willis  you can disable it on windows though am I right?
[02:58] <Dr_Willis> its-me-again:  /etc/default/grub is one of the config files for grub2   theres /etc/grub.d/ also..
[02:58] <Adem> I remember removing the 1gb swap file from c:/
[02:58] <Jordan_U> its-me-again: What exactly are you trying to do?
[02:58] <Dr_Willis> its-me-again:  you DO want to read up on grub2 befor messing with those files.
[02:59] <Dr_Willis> Adem:  yes. You can disable swap if you want to. I dont reccomend it
[02:59] <Adem> Is there a way I can hide the *filesystem* from appearing
[02:59] <mikem> hi, i disabled ssh with `sudo update-rc.d -f ssh remove` but sshd is still running when I boot up. what else could be starting sshd?
[02:59] <kent\n> Adem: you can do it if you know what you are doing, but if you're asking whether or not you can do it, you don't fall into this category =)
[02:59] <its-me-again> Jordan_U: add puppy linux grub info manually. adn also change teh name of teh windowzzy partitions to xp adn vista
[02:59] <Dr_Willis> Adem:  hide it from where?
[02:59] <edbian> How can I view the history of the bash shell?
[02:59] <Adem> Like thunar file manager> on the left it has 1.3g filesystem( which is the swap)
[03:00] <its-me-again> Dr_Willis: ok y si grub 2 so hard to change
[03:00] <Dr_Willis> its-me-again:  you can add a custome file in /etc/grub.d/XXXXXX  to add static entries for other OS"s that are not detexcted properly
[03:00] <its-me-again> grub was easy
[03:00] <Uboy> edbian: can u help me to configure fingerprint sensoron dell vostro 1520 plz?
[03:00] <Dr_Willis> its-me-again:  i find it rather trivial to change.. but i did read its docs.
[03:00] <Adem> Dr_Willis:
[03:00] <Adem> Like thunar file manager> on the left it has 1.3g filesystem( which is the swap)
[03:00] <UbuntuLily> I am trying to install Mythubuntu and i got an error and it said "An error has occurred, starting desktop session so you can investigate".  How do I investigate?
[03:00] <Dr_Willis> its-me-again:  you make one file.. with the proper info.. and  you can add entries for puppy, or bootable Iso files.. or other things.
[03:01] <Dr_Willis> Adem:  that would be a thunar bug Im thinking. I dont see it on gnomes file manager
[03:01] <Adem> Oh :(
[03:01] <Adem> is there a way I can edit entries in my start menu?
[03:01] <Adem> xfce btw
[03:01] <Dr_Willis> Adem:  its proberly just showilg all parittions even if it cant do stuff with it
[03:01] <its-me-again> great thats teh old grub menu.list y did they change it adn make it less userfriendly i never know
[03:01] <sebsebseb> Adem: #xubuntu
[03:01] <Adem> ty
[03:02] <sebsebseb> Adem: np gl
[03:02] <gene234> Adem: if you have over 2GB of ram say and  not doing anything but pervierviewing web sites   kill you swap
[03:02] <Dr_Willis> its-me-again:  go research grub2 and learn why.  #1 reason.. it was geting  harder and harder to make it work with the newer features of new hardware.
[03:02] <Uboy> Dr_Willis: can u help me about fingerprint scanner?
[03:02] <its-me-again> Dr_Willis: well what is teh /etc/default/grub file for then
[03:02] <Dr_Willis> Uboy:  never had one.
[03:02] <orikon> hello, I have a bunch of files that have japanese filenames that have garbled text. I have installed all the language packs and everything else (websites, menus, dialog boxes, etc) displays japanese just fine. does anyone know how to fix this? google hasn't been much help
[03:02] <Uboy> ok.
[03:02] <Dr_Willis> its-me-again:  its the default settings for grub2.   the grub.d defind the actual menu items,.
[03:02] <Adem> gene234: , pretty much websites/p2p and games such as cube 2
[03:02] <its-me-again> thanks
[03:02] <sebsebseb> Uboy: not many people with Ubuntu have that
[03:03] <Dr_Willis> its-me-again:  http://delicious.com/dr_willis/grub2  for my collection of info on grub2
[03:03] <sebsebseb> Uboy: you could try ##linux and make sure to tell them your on Ubuntu 10.04 and more details the better
[03:03] <Uboy> sebsebseb: ye I know
[03:03] <sebsebseb> Uboy: in fact I wonder if anyone uses a fingerprint scanner with Ubuntu
[03:03] <Uboy> #linux or ##linux ?
[03:03] <Dr_Willis> Once you learn the grub2 tricks.. you realize grub2 is  as big an improvement over grub1 as grub was over lilo. :)
[03:03] <Jordan_U> its-me-again: /etc/default/grub is basically where configuation options for update-grub go. Things that used to be in the comments-that-aren't-really-comments in grub legacy
[03:03] <sebsebseb> Uboy: ##linux
[03:03] <Uboy> sebsebseb: ok
[03:03] <Dr_Willis> work time for me. bye all.
[03:04] <Dr_Willis> Coments-that-are-not-really comments.. a VERY annoying part of the old grub.
[03:04] <Uboy> sebsebseb: i know the name and exactly model
[03:04] <Dr_Willis> bye
[03:04] <gene234> Adem: not really sure about cube2 (not a gamer!) but otherwise if you have 2GB of ram kill swap!
[03:04] <camel_> wazaaa

[03:04] <Adem> what would be the advantage of killing the swap gene234
[03:05] <camel_> hey somebody can help me on how to hack wifi?
[03:05] <Adem> lmao
[03:05] <rww> Is ext3 backwards-compatible with ext2? i.e., can I mount ext3 filesystems as ext2?
[03:05] <Adem> www.hackforums.net camel_
[03:05] <Adem> lol
[03:05] <gene234> Adem:depends on how much installed ram you have
[03:05] <Jordan_U> Adem: Other than being able to use that disk space for other things, there is none.
[03:05] <rww> camel_: nope. hacking is of questionable legality and thus offtopic for Ubuntu channels
[03:05] <Adem> 2g ddr2 ram gene234
[03:05] <Jordan_U> rww: Yes
[03:05] <rww> Jordan_U: ta
[03:05] <Adem> meh, I'll leave it, I got plenty of disp space

[03:06] <Adem> iwlist scan
[03:06] <Adem> IDK
[03:06] <kent\n> rww: you must be confused. Hacking is innovative coding.  I was using the terminology of the person who asked the question and am not interested in silly semantics discussions.
[03:07] <Adem> Is there a way I can add swap to my conky to see if its being used
[03:07] <Alan502> Anybody here familiar with squid proxy? I need some help.
[03:07] <Gaming4JC> kent\n: hacking is not "cracking", hacking is more ethical ways of tweaking things. Crackers on the other hand have inherited the term hackers in recent decades.
[03:07] <Gaming4JC> :)
[03:07]  * kent\n is not interested in discussion either, I'm just trying to educate and de-stigmatise people from using the wrong term
[03:07] <jr> anybody can help me configure usb wifi in ubuntu server 10.04?
[03:07] <swiss_chris> Jordan_U: do you mind if I bug you once more with the (sudo) apt-get --reinstall apt-get --reinstall vmlinuz-2.6.31-22-generic (that's the version I currently have under /boot). Is that the right command?
[03:08] <swiss_chris> Jordan_U: well, apart from the part that I pasted twice ... :-)
[03:08] <camel_> how to use aircrack-ng?
[03:08] <gene234> Adem:swapping does have a downside
[03:08] <Adem> such as
[03:09] <Jordan_U> swiss_chris: Replace "vmlinuz" with "linux-image" and it will be.
[03:09] <rww> camel_: Try their website. It has reasonably good tutorials.
[03:09] <camel_> give the page
[03:09] <gene234> Memory speeds can be measured in nanoseconds, while disks are measured in milliseconds
[03:09] <camel_> rww: give me the page
[03:09] <rww> camel_: http://www.aircrack-ng.org/ , under "Documentation"
[03:09] <gene234> but thats probaly OT
[03:10] <Jordan_U> gene234: Adem: But that's not a reason to disable swap
[03:10] <camel_> rww: let me try
[03:10] <camel_> thanks
[03:10] <Adem> Im not going to remove it, Its not doing any harm
[03:11] <gene234> The more swapping that occurs, the slower your system will be
[03:11] <Doonz> hey guys im having trouble trying to use editors in terminal. All my keys are buggered and some dont work while others just do weird things any links for a help
[03:11] <jr> anybody can help me configure a usb wifi in ubuntu server 10.04?

[03:12] <foul_owl> i am trying to install lucid on my friends computer, but for some reason the video isn't working after first menu. any ideas?
[03:12] <SlidingHorn> Doonz, terminal text editors have their own commands...which one are you using?
[03:12] <Adem> how to remember commands? I always forget them :p
[03:12] <Doonz> SlidingHorn: vi
[03:12] <jr> anybody can help me configure a usb wifi in ubuntu server 10.04?
[03:13] <foul_owl> however he has debian installed and the video works fine. what menu options should i give to make sure the video works?
[03:13] <SlidingHorn> Adem, http://www.scottklarr.com/topic/115/linux-unix-cheat-sheets---the-ultimate-collection/
[03:13] <camel_> jr: use aircrack 1.1
[03:13] <gene234> In most cases only adding more RAM will help.
[03:13] <Jordan_U> Doonz: Run "vimtutor" for a goot tutorial.
[03:13] <Lanh> Right it's installed, I shall be back when I have re-installed xchat, if my config file drop in
[03:13] <Adem> SlidingHorn:  i already got them, I mean how can I REMEMBER them :D?
[03:13] <jr> anybody can help me configure a usb wifi in ubuntu server 10.04?
[03:13] <Doonz> Jordan_U: thanx
[03:14] <SlidingHorn> Adem, keep using them -- repetition will help
[03:14] <Jordan_U> Doonz: You're welcome.

[03:24] <foul_owl> aha, thank

[03:25] <lewis1711> I haven't used ubuntu since...gutsy I think. Question: what's dist-upgrade like now? how much usually gets broken? Using a rolling release distro right now, but I wouldn't mind switching to a "once every 6 months" schedule
[03:25] <foul_owl> GeForce 6150 LE
[03:25] <xangua> ennui: you can enable metacity compositing
[03:25] <totoro> adem, sorry don't know
[03:25] <Adem> np
[03:25] <foul_owl> i don't understand, i thought nvidia cards were all supported
[03:25] <ennui> xangua: I need one that works without compositing. Or else I get tearing in video playback
[03:25] <IdleOne> lewis1711: best bet would be to do a clean install
[03:25] <lewis1711> owch, still?
[03:26] <Pirate_Hunter> ennui, wbar could work for you
[03:26] <mikem> what's the best practice for preventing upstart to launch a service on boot? simply remove the relevant file from /etc/init ?
[03:26] <IdleOne> lewis1711: you planning on upgrading from gutsy?
[03:26] <Lang_Shadow> Anyone know of an easy way to manage a ftp server?
[03:26] <Adem>  cd /usr/share/themes thats where it is ;p
[03:26] <gene234> foul_owl: NV ont go open source so hence may problems
[03:26] <totoro> ennui: i read on google docky as an option without metacity compositing, and awm also
[03:26] <gene234> foul_owl: NV *wont go open source so hence may problems
[03:26] <totoro> adem, ok
[03:27] <lewis1711> IdleOne: no, planning on doing a clean install, then updating every 6 months. or is that not realistic?
[03:27] <ennui> totoro: I'm afraid docky breaks without compositing
[03:27] <IdleOne> lewis1711: oh, yeah that's fine and works well for me
[03:27] <totoro> adem, do that tar command in the link i showed you
[03:27] <lewis1711> ahhh. how much breakage is their usually?

[03:27] <paranoidphreak> hi everybody, i have copied ubuntu 10.04 from my laptop to a flash drive but i'm unable to access ubuntu stored on the flash drive on the same system i copied it from but i have no problem accessing it on another system laptop. can anyone help me with this plz?
[03:27] <foul_owl> hmm well i found this:http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html
[03:28] <foul_owl> i think i will try that and report back if problems, thanks everyone! :)
[03:28] <Lang_Shadow> nevermind
[03:28] <TomT64> where can I go to ask a C++ question.  It's a rather complicated question
[03:28] <totoro> paranoidphreak, in the flash drive, did you use unetbootin or whatever it is, or did you just drag the iso in the flash drive
[03:28] <mikem> TomT64: ##c++
[03:28] <Lang_Shadow> how do you uninstall a program?
[03:28] <TomT64> mikem: Tried that.  I can't speak in the channel
[03:29] <lewis1711> TomT64: you have to register your name for freenode I think
[03:29] <totoro> Lang_Shadow, if you installed it in the ubuntu software center, you can go to the "installed applications" place
[03:29] <mikem> TomT64: strange, why not?
[03:29] <lewis1711> failing that, join #c and see if they notice;)
[03:29] <rww> ubottu: register
[03:29] <thune3> foul_owl: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html solution #1 says try "nomodeset" during boot, and upgrade to proprietary driver when you "get in".
[03:29] <gene234> Lang_Shadow: synaptic helps!
[03:29] <TomT64> lewis1711: is there a way I can retrieve my password?  My nick was registered like 5 years ago :p
[03:29] <Lang_Shadow> totoro, its command line
[03:29] <totoro> Lang_Shadow,  sudo apt-get remove
[03:29] <Lang_Shadow> ok
[03:29] <Lang_Shadow> thank you
[03:29] <TomT64> lewis1711: it's about STL, I doubt #c will help :D
[03:30] <IdleOne> TomT64: help with nickserv in #freenode
[03:30] <lewis1711> TomT64: it should lapse if you don't register after a while
[03:30] <lewis1711> just re-register
[03:30] <paranoidphreak> totoro:  no, i've copied the entire partition that ubuntu was on on to the usb using gparted
[03:30] <lewis1711> or use D. wonderful language:)
[03:30] <rww> lewis1711: freenode nickserv registrations don't automatically expire, you need to get them dropped
[03:30] <lewis1711> oh. slashnet ones do
[03:30] <rww> TomT64: as IdleOne mentioned, asking in #freenode is your best bet
[03:31] <totoro> paranoidphreak, don't know now, new to linux tbh :(
[03:31] <paranoidphreak> totoro: oh k, thanks anyways
[03:31] <gene234> paranoidphreak: that probaly wont work
[03:32] <totoro> paranoidphreak, i'm going to guess that your computer you are trying to boot with doesn't have the ability to boot
[03:32] <totoro> from the usb
[03:33] <paranoidphreak> gene234: it able to access the exact same version on another system from the usb
[03:33] <lewis1711> paranoidphreak: sorry, run that by again? you're trying to boot ubuntu from a USB. how did you install it to the USB?
[03:33] <paranoidphreak> *it i'm
[03:34] <dasu> dun dun

[03:34] <paranoidphreak> lewis1711: original message hi everybody, i have copied ubuntu 10.04 from my laptop to a flash drive but i'm unable to access ubuntu stored on the flash drive on the same system i copied it from but i have no problem accessing it on another system laptop. can anyone help me with this plz?
[03:34] <asdf1> what is this highlight?
[03:34] <Alan502> what the
[03:34] <sebsebseb> asdf1: spam
[03:34] <FFForever> da hell?
[03:34] <Flannel> asdf1: Just spam, ignore it.
[03:34] <psuasti_> uh
[03:34] <lewis1711> paranoidphreak: how did you copy it though?
[03:34] <psuasti_> whats mode q
[03:34] <darth_grantius> dont click
[03:34] <asdf1> ok
[03:34] <gene234> hey WTF!
[03:34] <Alan502> I need help with Squid Proxy! please help me :)
[03:34] <paranoidphreak> lewis1711: using gparted
[03:35] <asdf1> Alan502:  tell your problem
[03:35] <gene234> spam spam spam me tinks
[03:35] <FFForever> I thought ubottu was the channel bot =\
[03:35] <Flannel> FFForever: It is.
[03:35] <asdf1> FFForever:  i thought too
[03:35] <Adem> totoro:  they are showing up in emerald theme manager but not appearance
[03:35] <FFForever> it was hacked?
[03:35] <IdleOne> EVERYBODY JUST RELAX THE KIDDIES ARE PLAYING TONIGHT.
[03:35] <lewis1711> paranoidphreak: I am pretty sure there are specific tools for installing to usb drives. I'm no computer engineer but I don't think you can just use gparted for it
[03:35] <rww> The above mess was triggered by problem users. Commenting on it only makes it more disruptive ;P
[03:35] <Flannel> FFForever: No, it's responding to spammers.
[03:35] <asdf1> i dont think so FFForever
[03:35] <Alan502> asdf1: well, i cannot use xchat through squid
[03:36] <FFForever> Flannel, sorry I didn't scroll up high enough
[03:36] <Flannel> FFForever: No worries
[03:36] <Alan502> asdf1: i believe i have to do something with the acl ( i have been googling) but i'm not sure of what to do exactly. Is it possible to allow all ports from an specific ip?
[03:36] <FFForever> Alan502, isn't squid a web proxy?
[03:36] <asdf1> i don't know exactly this Alan502
[03:36] <Adem> the themes are showing up in emerald theme manager but not appearance
[03:36] <asdf1> sorry
[03:37] <Alan502> FFForever: i guess so, can't i use it for other services?
[03:37] <lewis1711> paranoidphreak: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick there's a specific usb-createor app you need to use:)
[03:37] <asdf1> Adem:  are you trying to install a new theme?
[03:37] <Alan502> asdf1: do you know how can i use xchat with squid though?
[03:37] <paranoidphreak> lewis1711: yes, but i wanted exact copy of what ever is installed on my laptop already; otherwise, i have to spend roughly 6-7 hours setting up the flash drive version to my liking
[03:37] <MTecknology> that guys has been spamming a lot of channels on a lot of networks.... no wonder service providers keep dropping him :P
[03:37] <Adem> Im just trying to use themes from emerald asdf1
[03:37] <xangua> Adem: yes, that's how it should be
[03:37] <asdf1> Alan502:  no
[03:37] <lewis1711> ohh
[03:37] <FFForever> Alan502, you would have to run a socks proxy
[03:37] <xangua> Adem: then use: emerald --replace
[03:37] <Adem> How do i use themes in emerald?
[03:37] <rollman> paranoidphreak i have same problem if i run it on 1 system and go over to another system the kernel seems to crash but if i keep it on same system i originally booted from i have no problems
[03:38] <lewis1711> paranoidphreak: run the usb creater, partition it that way, install the default ubuntu, then copy images?
[03:38] <omani> wtf, why do u highlight
[03:38] <omani> man i was sleeping!!!
[03:38] <asdf1> omani:  go back to sleep
[03:38] <asdf1> :)
[03:38] <lewis1711> paranoidphreak:  it has something to do with usb distros booting much different
[03:38] <DDavid> you speak spanish
[03:38] <MTecknology> omani: language
[03:38] <lewis1711> Si
[03:38] <rww> Again, the above mess was triggered by problem users. Commenting on it only makes it more disruptive.
[03:38] <IdleOne> omani: and you woke up for irc? was a spam bot. sweet dreams :)
[03:38] <rww> !es | DDavid
[03:38] <Adem> sec xangua  doing it atm
[03:38] <lewis1711> por que la vida est corta
[03:39] <gene234> tooooooo much spam for me   (so much for registering my email!)
[03:39] <lewis1711> oh wait
[03:39] <IdleOne> lewis1711: because people insist on not follwing rules
[03:39] <Lang_Shadow> this is really weird. I uninstalled my ftp server yet I can still connect to my linux server through ftp
[03:39] <IdleOne> lewis1711: Please speak in English here.
[03:39] <bawn> there is always a way out of spam
[03:39] <Lang_Shadow> how come?
[03:39] <Alan502> FFForever: a socks proxy would allow any service?
[03:39] <lewis1711> ok
[03:39] <lewis1711> :)
[03:39] <SlidingHorn> Lang_Shadow, restart apache
[03:39] <Flannel> Lang_Shadow: Which FTP server?
[03:39] <Lang_Shadow> ah ok
[03:40] <paranoidphreak> rollman: oh...i'm having a different issue. the version boots on other systems but not on the system i copied it from
[03:40] <Lang_Shadow> one sec
[03:40] <asdf1> has anyone the 10.04 64 bit?
[03:40] <gene234> ok deadbot   I am all yours now
[03:40] <DDavid> thanks
[03:40] <SlidingHorn> !anyone | asdf1
[03:40] <MTecknology> asdf1: just ask your question
[03:40] <lewis1711> question: I already have a linux distro on here. /home and /root are on separate partitions. is it possible to just install ubuntu onto my root partition, and keep my current home?
[03:40] <Lang_Shadow> Flannel, vsftpd
[03:40] <MTecknology> SlidingHorn: careful - ops get upset if you use the bot
[03:40] <paranoidphreak> thanks anyways for everyones help
[03:40] <Alan502> FFForever: actually, what happens, is that i'm conencting to the internet through a WindowsXP VM, because i'm using a 3g modem and wireless broadband connections are still unstable with ubuntu's network manager. So i installed Squid proxy on the vm and i'm using it through NAT, i assume i can do this with any other proxy though
[03:40] <Adem> whats the point of !! command when u can just click up?
[03:40] <sinnedam> hey guys how come when i try to browse to a network share on ubuntu 10.04 it keeps asking me to authenticate over and over but never opens...yes im sure credentials are right
[03:40] <thune3> paranoidphreak: so your usb install is working as anticipated on several systems but not one?
[03:40] <Flannel> MTecknology: No, ops get upset if you abuse the bot.
[03:41] <SlidingHorn> MTecknology, only if you use it unnecessarily
[03:41] <asdf1> MTecknology:  i want to know if anyone has any problem with the 10.04 64 bit
[03:41] <MTecknology> asdf1: sometimes
[03:41] <rww> Flannel: from the look of it, ubottu was talking through that +q. I guess there's a +e or something set?
[03:41] <paranoidphreak> thune3: on every other system except on the system it was copied from
[03:41] <MTecknology> Flannel: or in many cases just use it at all
[03:41] <SlidingHorn> asdf1, yes.  some do.  now, was that very helpful?
[03:41] <asdf1> cause i have MTecknology a problem with the panel
[03:41] <MTecknology> asdf1: what problem specifically?
[03:41] <FFForever> Alan502, I don't operate a proxy & squid is web only
[03:41] <thune3> paranoidphreak: and you mean that it boots, or just mounts on other systems?
[03:42] <FFForever> also I have never ran a socks proxy
[03:42] <asdf1> on panel there are appearring some white stripes
[03:42] <Adem> why is the emerald --replace command taking so long
[03:42] <MTecknology> asdf1: are you usaing compiz?
[03:42] <SlidingHorn> asdf1, did you change the panel size?
[03:42] <asdf1> MTecknology:  yes
[03:42] <rollman> paranoidphreak yes it uses the original system u booted from try reinstalling and running it from that system only
[03:42] <Flannel> rww: no, looks like FB2 removed the +q once spam stopped
[03:42] <Lang_Shadow> Flannel, so...?
[03:42] <paranoidphreak> thune3: when i try to boot from the usb on the system it was copied from, it goes to the laptops version of ubuntu but on other systems i have no problem
[03:42] <MTecknology> asdf1: does it happen without compiz enabled?
[03:42] <asdf1> SlidingHorn:  its not that poion
[03:42] <Alan502> FFForever: ok, i'll check. Do you recommend any open source proxy for windows?
[03:42] <rww> Flannel: ah, indeed. didn't notice that.
[03:42] <asdf1> MTecknology:  i didn;t try out this
[03:43] <FFForever> Alan502, sorry once again I don't use them so I have never really looked into them
[03:43] <sinnedam> anybody help?
[03:43] <Flannel> Lang_Shadow: Well, doesn't look like that's a metapackage, so I guess once again verify you've removed it, and check again.
[03:43] <Lang_Shadow> how do I do that?
[03:43] <asdf1> MTecknology:  the stripes appears and on some screenlets
[03:43] <richthegeek> hi all : I'm getting a seg fault with Firefox occasionally. Version 3.6.3 on 10.10 x64. How can I trace the issue for reporting?
[03:43] <paranoidphreak> rollman: my usb version works on every other system except on the system it was copied from
[03:43] <thune3> paranoidphreak: you're sure the boot order on that PC has usb in front of the disks? can you tell if the USB grub is being accessed?
[03:44] <MTecknology> asdf1: with it disabled?
[03:44] <ZykoticK9> !emerald | Adem
[03:44] <asdf1> no MTecknology i didn't try  this
[03:44] <Adem> anyone here use eggdrop?
[03:44] <Alan502> FFForever: ok thanks :P
[03:44] <asdf1> MTecknology:  is there any report bug for this problem?
[03:45] <FFForever> Adem, I have in the past
[03:45] <MTecknology> asdf1: just try it first
[03:45] <paranoidphreak> thune3: it is being accessed but once i select the usb version, it tries to read from the disk for about 2 minutes and after it resumes booting from the laptops hd
[03:45] <SlidingHorn> adem - ask your actual question :)  i'm sure plenty of people have
[03:45] <Adem> FFForever:  what is it exactly
[03:45] <asdf1> MTecknology:  but i want the compiz
[03:45] <Alan502> Does anybody else recommend an open source proxy for windows?
[03:45] <Jordan_U> paranoidphreak: Did you copy the entire partition rather than individual files? If so then you'll need to modify the UUID since it's no longer Unique :)
[03:45] <FFForever> Adem, it is a an irc bot...
[03:45] <Adem> irc bot such as service bot or irc bot as in botnet bin
[03:45] <Adem> lol
[03:46] <thune3> paranoidphreak: i'm thinking along the lines of Jordan_U as well
[03:46] <richthegeek> anyone? anyone at all with any sort of bug tracking experience?
[03:46] <Lang_Shadow> how do I check if a program was actually removed???
[03:46] <v4ntager> Only users with access level ADDFACTS can add factoids.
[03:46] <paranoidphreak> thune3: i'm telling my system to read from the usb
[03:46] <FFForever> Adem, as in service bot that you could in theory code to be a botnet bin xD
[03:46] <Adem> :p
[03:46] <jb12> hey all
[03:46] <xork> So, I think I've tried too many patches trying to get my sound to work again.  Can someone please help me completely purge & reinstall the default Ubuntu sound system?
[03:46] <FFForever> Hi
[03:46] <MTecknology> Lang_Shadow: aptitude search <app>; if it's installed it'll show i on the side - there's a lot of other ways too
[03:46] <sinnedam> can anyone help me?
[03:46] <thune3> paranoidphreak: if the bootloader is set to boot a UUID, if that uuid also matches a disk partition....
[03:47] <Adem> well this is a help channel sinnedam , ask your question
[03:47] <Lang_Shadow> MTecknology, on what side?
[03:47] <FFForever> sinnedam, just state your problem
[03:47] <MTecknology> Lang_Shadow: you'll see
[03:47] <sinnedam> I did..but to state it again...im trying to access a network share it keeps asking me to authenticate...credentials are correct
[03:48] <jb12> cannot see my usb gig stick
[03:48] <jb12> in ubuntu
[03:48] <paranoidphreak> Jordan_U: i copied the entire partition using gparted. how do i modify the UUID?
[03:48] <ZykoticK9> Lang_Shadow, "apt-cache policy foo" and it will shows "Installed" or just candidate version of software
[03:48] <jb12> someone help
[03:48] <sinnedam> lags for a second and displays a dialog box that says "you can stop this operation by clicking cancel" for a second then disappears and nothing happens
[03:48] <Lang_Shadow> i typed in aptitude search vsftp and its listed
[03:48] <MTecknology> sinnedam: check your logs
[03:48] <richthegeek> jb12: try "lsusb" and "dmesg | grep usb" in the terminal, put them on the pastebin
[03:48] <thune3> paranoidphreak: before i check, what fs type?
[03:49] <edbian> jb12, hi
[03:49] <edbian> :)
[03:49] <jb12> hi
[03:49] <xork> Anyone good w/ sound?
[03:49] <sinnedam> which log would it be in
[03:49] <paranoidphreak> thune3: ext3
[03:49] <edbian> jb12, By can't see it, I assume you mean it doesn't show up on the desktop or in places -> "computer" is that right?
[03:49] <jb12> yep doesent show up
[03:49] <jb12> yes thats correct edbian
[03:50] <edbian> jb12, Is it plugged in right now?
[03:50] <jb12> yes it is
[03:50] <jb12> 16 gig stick
[03:50] <Jordan_U> paranoidphreak: "sudo tune2fs -U random /dev/sdXX" but be warned that you will need to update all references to this UUID after you change it.
[03:51] <edbian> jb12, Nice! :)  Anywho, does it show up in the output of sudo fdisk -l   ??  You'll have to read the sizes.
[03:51] <Lang_Shadow> ok, it is not installed yet I can still connect to the linux system using ftp
[03:51] <wangpeixiang> d
[03:51] <wangpeixiang> dajiahao
[03:51] <ner0x> I'm attempting to install a wireless driver via .deb file and it attempts to download firmware. Can I somehow put that firmware in an "packages" directory so that the .deb file recognizes it's there?
[03:51] <Jordan_U> paranoidphreak: To update your fstab run "gksudo gedit /etc/fstab" and replace the old UUID with the new one (which you can find with "sudo blkid"
[03:51] <Adem> well if emerald is mucking up, how can i import themes to appearance?
[03:52] <Jordan_U> paranoidphreak: To update grub just run "sudo update-grub"
[03:52] <paranoidphreak> Jordan_U: i run this on the usb version or the laptop's version?
[03:52] <Jordan_U> paranoidphreak: USB
[03:52] <sinnedam> hhmm now i got this "unable to mount location dbus error org.freedesktop.dbus.error.noreply: did not receive a reply. possible causes include remote application did not send a reply and the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken"
[03:52] <jb12> no it doesent edbian
[03:52] <Lang_Shadow> MKTecknology, ok, it is not installed yet I can still connect to the linux system using ftp
[03:52] <edbian> jb12, Plug it in and remove it and check dmesg
[03:53] <edbian> jb12, does dmesg record it being plugged in and removed??
[03:54] <foo_> ok I have a question
[03:54] <paranoidphreak> Jordan_U: what do u mean by all references? i only have one partition on the usb
[03:54] <ansikt> So, I have a bit of a noobish question.  I've been told to put a file in $PATH.  What do I do?
[03:54] <Lang_Shadow> :(
[03:54] <Lang_Shadow> guess no one knows then :(
[03:54] <jb12> alot of stuff here edbian
[03:54] <jb12> ok this is what its got
[03:55] <foo_> My kids got this new toy and I need to run it... I've changed it to an exacutable file but for some odd reason it ain't runnin
[03:55] <edbian> jb12, whoa, don't you copy and paste that here.
[03:55] <ZykoticK9> ansikt, in a terminal type "echo $PATH" and what it lists is your path.  put the file in any of those directories.
[03:55] <edbian> jb12, use pastebin
[03:55] <Alan502> would anybody please recommend an open source proxy for windows?
[03:55] <jb12> saying usb not found
[03:55] <edbian> jb12, but it should be at the very bottom because plugging in the usb drive is the most recent thing.
[03:55] <ZykoticK9> ansikt, "path" is the folders that are searched for executable commands
[03:56] <Jordan_U> paranoidphreak: I mean configuration files that use that UUID to try to find the proper partition.
[03:56] <foo_> no one know?
[03:56] <jb12> whats the link for pasterbin
[03:56] <ZykoticK9> !paste
[03:56] <Lang_Shadow> I really would like to know why I am able to connect to my server with ftp yet I have no ftp server installed
[03:56] <foo_> also it won't recognize anything I put into the usb drive
[03:56] <edbian> jb12, Here is a line from my dmesg after plugging in a usb stick:  usb 5-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4
[03:57] <paranoidphreak> thune3, Jordan_U and everyone else, thanks for all the help
[03:57] <MTecknology> Lang_Shadow: use top to see if the process is running
[03:57] <thune3> paranoidphreak: so grub and fstab on USB installation
[03:57] <edbian> jb12, Then about 20 other lines
[03:57] <edbian> !pastebin
[03:57] <Jordan_U> paranoidphreak: You're welcome.
[03:57] <foo_> ugh
[03:57] <foo_> ok.. shall try a more advanced room...
[03:57] <edbian> jb12, http://paste.ubuntu.com/456179/
[03:58] <sinnedam> i think my problem has to do with my wireless acting extremely slow on Ubuntu..where would i go to look at the driver/config settings for the wireless nic?
[03:58] <Lang_Shadow> MTecknology, I don't see vsftpd. however i do have /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server
[03:59] <MTecknology> Lang_Shadow: dar ya go - you do have an ftp server installed :)
[03:59] <Lang_Shadow> isn't that the ssh server though?
[03:59] <jb12> edbian, here it is.........http://paste.ubuntu.com/456180/
[03:59] <MTecknology> Lang_Shadow: ssh is openssh-server
[03:59] <edbian> sinnedam, You can see what module you're currently using and what others the system has available for use by running : "sudo lspci -k"
[03:59] <ZykoticK9> Lang_Shadow, sftp-server is SSH not really FTP
[04:00] <Lang_Shadow> sftp connection isn't a real ftp connection then?
[04:00] <ZykoticK9> Lang_Shadow, different ports/protocols
[04:01] <edbian> jb12, I see nothing about your usb drive.  Does the key light up?  ARe you sure the key is good and the system's usb ports work?
[04:01] <jb12> ive tried another gig stick and nothing
[04:01] <rww> Lang_Shadow: no. the SFTP protocol doesn't use FTP
[04:02] <Lang_Shadow> rww, ok thanks
[04:02] <rww> Lang_Shadow: there's another thing called FTPS which is FTP over SSL, and is entirely different, though, which confuses the heck out of everyone
[04:02] <Lang_Shadow> so I'll install proFTPd then
[04:03] <edbian> jb12, I suspect the usb ports aren't working
[04:03] <jb12> works in windows though edbian
[04:03] <kdog> can anyone help me with my wireless?
[04:03] <edbian> jb12, The usb ports probably aren't being recognized correctly in Ubuntu.  I'm not sure how to help with that! :(  I think the key and USB hardware works fine.  Just isn't being used right by Ubuntu
[04:04] <thiagoVenson> boa noite
[04:04] <jb12> what do i do...i dont want to re install it again
[04:04] <ZykoticK9> Lang_Shadow, FTP is a poor protocol due to transferring passwords in plain text if you connecting over the internet you might want to consider alternative file transfer options.  good luck man.
[04:04] <duckwars> is there anyway to use the cp command and have it show the copying progress?
[04:05] <kdog> is anyone proficient with wireless problems on 10.04?
[04:05] <edbian> jb12, I don't know :(
[04:05] <jb12> hmm ok thanks...
[04:05] <ZykoticK9> duckwars, you might want to check out the script on this page (I HAVEN'T TRIED IT) http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/cp-progress-bar-407381/
[04:05] <Jordan_U> !anyone | kdog
[04:06] <duckwars> ZykoticK9: thanks
[04:06] <kdog> ok ubottu forgive my newbieness
[04:06] <ZykoticK9> duckwars, i have tried scripts similar to this in the past - they have never worked reliably for me.  good luck.
[04:06] <MTecknology> duckwars: use rsync --progress instead
[04:07] <duckwars> MTecknology: rsync is a command?
[04:07] <MTecknology> duckwars: yes
[04:08] <Jordan_U> duckwars: Use rsync or scp instead (both work fine locally)
[04:08] <duckwars> MTecknology: Like "rsync --progress /media/Drive1/video /media/Drive2/" ?
[04:08] <ennui> what should I do in this situation. I have hand compiled Mplayer and want to install SMplayer through apt-get, but it wants me to install Mplayer again. how can I just get the Smplayer and dependencies but not Mplayer?
[04:08] <kdog> i tried to get my computer to connect to my wireless router. wouldnt connect. so i installed windows wireless drivers, which is what the help app called for. now my computers wireless device will not turn on.
[04:08] <MTecknology> duckwars: yup
[04:08] <duckwars> Thanks guys
[04:08] <duckwars> I think I will go with scp
[04:08]  * Runar is hilighted, but cannot find out where :(
[04:09] <xangua> ennui: why not use mplayer from the repository¿
[04:09] <kdog> i installed the correct driver and it said it was present. uninstalled wwd and still will not turn on.
[04:09] <ZykoticK9> ennui, so long as your verions of mplayer is installed in /opt or similar then the two versions can peacefully coexist on your system - just call the correct one with full path
[04:10] <ennui> Zykotick9: Is there no way to deselect that mplayer in apt-get? I'd prefer just one fore less confusion
[04:11] <ZykoticK9> ennui, i don't know man.  good luck.
[04:11] <ennui> xangua: The Mplayer in the repo didn't recognize the vdpau decoder
[04:12] <Adem> how do i restart X
[04:12] <xangua> ennui: what version is that¿¿ maybe this PPA could help https://launchpad.net/~rvm/%2Barchive/mplayer
[04:12] <ZykoticK9> LOL typically you just have to install a single library "libvdpau1" and vdpau will work with default mplayer/nvidia
[04:12] <ZykoticK9> ennui, ^
[04:13] <Jordan_U> Runar: Just the spammer that came through.
[04:13] <Runar> Yeah, noticed that myself
[04:13] <Runar> Now I have another mystery
[04:13] <Runar> The last 5 messages all hilighted me
[04:14] <astropirate> I want to expand my ubuntu partition (ext4) to take up some space from my windows partition, I don't care if i lose data on the windows partition but i want to NOT lose anything on my linux partition. Can i do this with gparted?
[04:14] <nickbp> in 10.04, how do i enable the xorg setting 'enable3buttons'? xorg.conf appears to no longer exist for whatever reason
[04:15] <ZykoticK9> Adem, in an emercency alt+sysrq+k or from a terminal "sudo service gdm restart"
[04:15] <Cynthia> nickbp: create it, sudo nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:15] <Adem> ty
[04:15] <edbian> astropirate, Yes.  But you have to boot with a live CD.  You can't edit partitions that you have mounted.
[04:15] <Cynthia> and then add the pointing device section and its 'enable3buttons' setting
[04:15] <edbian> astropirate, In order to unmount root you need to boot a live CD
[04:15] <nickbp> ok ill try that
[04:16] <astropirate> edbian: can i do this with a ubuntu live cd?
[04:16] <astropirate> or do i need a dedicated gparted live cd
[04:16] <ZykoticK9> nickbp, it's not quite that easy!  you need to generate a valid xorg.conf file see my directions at http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/create-an-xorg-conf-file
[04:16] <Cynthia> astropirate: Ubuntu LiveCDs carry gparted
[04:16] <nickbp> ZykoticK9: ok
[04:16] <astropirate> Cynthia: thanks
[04:16] <nickbp> ZykoticK9: out of curiousity, why isnt it there from the start? (if you know)
[04:17] <ZykoticK9> nickbp, typically it's not needed anymore - all automatic
[04:17] <nickbp> there doesnt appear to be any other way of setting any of these 'non-automatic' settings
[04:17] <nickbp> maybe there should be a ui for that before killing the file
[04:17] <ZykoticK9> nickbp, then you need an xorg.conf ;)
[04:18] <netcrusher88> My netbook running 10.04 won't connect to my android wifi tether, which is ad hoc. Any ideas?
[04:18] <nickbp> netcrusher88: "dmesg | tail -n 50" might show something
[04:18] <netcrusher88> Should mention, worked on 9.10 and works with win and mac... the tether app also runs dhcp
[04:19] <psuasti> I can't get my cd tray to open
[04:19] <psuasti> i hope we're not still having spammer issues
[04:19] <Cynthia> psuasti: Even with the 'eject' command?
[04:19] <psuasti> Cynthia, uh huh even with that command
[04:19] <kdog> when i right click on my network symbol, it does not give me an "enable wireless" option, nor does the hardware button work. i assume this means the driver is not loaded, but i do not have the foggiest how to reload it. when i  lshw the network it says unclaimed.
[04:20] <Cynthia> psuasti: What version of Ubuntu are you running? Did it work in an earlier version, if applicable? What is the brand and model of your CD player?
[04:21] <psuasti> 8.04, i think it worked before, how do i find that info out
[04:22] <acx0> has anyone tried teamviewer for linux? i'm wondering whether I should install the windows version through wine since the linux version is just the windows version packaged with wine
[04:22] <ennui> my synaptic keeps crashing... can you reinstall it like any other package?
[04:22] <ennui> well.. not crashing but freezing
[04:22] <acx0> or does it come with extra stuff?
[04:22] <Cynthia> psuasti: 'cdrecord -scanbus'
[04:23] <Cynthia> psuasti: (+) for me the second line says 'ATAPI   ' 'DVD A  DH16A1L  ' 'KH1A' Removable CD-ROM
[04:24] <psuasti> it says the same for me except instead of kh1a it says "YH13"
[04:24] <kdog> acx0 i had alot of problem running the tv linux. for some reason it worked better when i installed it thru play on linux.
[04:25] <acx0> kdog, play?
[04:25] <acx0> oh nvm
[04:26] <Cynthia> psuasti: Are you in a position where you can try Ubuntu 10.04, or upgrade to it, and see if the problem is fixed there? In a VM with CD-ROM command passthrough perhaps, or if you have 2 CD drives in your computer
[04:26] <psuasti>  nope
[04:26] <psuasti> well maybe i can upgrade
[04:27] <thune3> psuasti: this is disk in and stuck? or tray never opens period?
[04:28] <Adem> thune3:
[04:28] <Adem> dvd drive stuck?
[04:28] <psuasti> tray doesn't open
[04:28] <Adem> psuasti:
[04:28] <Adem> there is a manual eject hole on dvd drives
[04:29] <Cynthia> Sounds like a persistent problem in Hardy (8.04) to Karmic (9.10): https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem/+question/18263
[04:29] <Adem> look for a tiny hole on it, get a pin thats long and poke it in
[04:29] <Adem> preferably straightened clip
[04:30] <Cynthia> psuasti: Also mark yourself as affected by this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/397734
[04:31] <Hardekyn> Whoever it was who advised me, (Lanh/Hardekyn1), on how to backup my files and settings, thank you!
[04:32] <psuasti> Adem, it didn't work
[04:32] <thune3> psuasti: in the past i have had sticking issues and ran "sudo hdparm -w /dev/[your affected drive]" to reset the drive. This is drastic, could crash the machine, and definately run "sync" beforehand.
[04:32] <Cynthia> Hardekyn: were you the one who asked what the Firefox settings folder was? (.mozilla)
[04:32] <Adem> the manual eject button is fairly deep
[04:32] <Adem> you need a long pin

[04:38] <edbian> trism, There has got to be a lower level tool but I will check that out :)
[04:39] <osmario> do you use it?
[04:39] <tamwile> hello
[04:39] <foul_owl> yeah, it rules
[04:39] <tamwile> do you know a french canal?
[04:39] <thune3> foul_owl: it's now /boot/grub/grub.cfg, and it is no longer meant to be edited by hand.
[04:39] <trism> edbian: I'm not sure how you would get lower level, unless you were looking to write your own code for it (which is actually pretty straightforward too)
[04:40] <osmario> how to configure nicotine?
[04:40] <edbian> trism, The man page for xodtools even says "written using xtest and xlib libraries.
[04:40] <foul_owl> thune3: thanks, i need to edit it by hand though
[04:40] <thune3> foul_owl: to do what? many configs can be done through /etc/default/grub
[04:40] <trism> edbian: yes, you can write you own code using those libraries, but that isn't really what you asked
[04:41] <ZykoticK9> Omen_20, check /etc/fstab is the line for floppy commented out (start with # symbol)?
[04:41] <osmario> how to set up nicotine?
[04:41] <edbian> trism, true :)  I think I will write my own program though :)
[04:41] <foul_owl> thune3: i need to disable "quiet" and "splash" and enable "nomodeset"

[04:43] <ZykoticK9> Omen_20, glad to help
[04:43] <starnostar> can anyone recommend a bandwidth monitor that ignores lan activity
[04:43] <thune3> foul_owl: i don't understand exactly. you could edit grub menu for one time boot, and then edit /etc/default/grub to your specs and run update-grub
[04:43] <Alan502> is there an open source channel in freenode?
[04:44] <ZykoticK9> foul_owl, holding down the shift key during boot "should" show you grub screen
[04:44] <foul_owl> ok, i didn't know the shift trick
[04:44] <foul_owl> right after the bios
[04:44] <Jordan_U> hrishi: Looks like there are legal issues with including AMR (3gp audio) support. You can get mplayer with AMR support from the mediabuntu repository.
[04:44] <foul_owl> ?
[04:44] <asdf1> bb people
[04:44] <ZykoticK9> foul_owl, you should see !grub2 factoid for chrooting as you need to update grub after making the change to the file.
[04:45] <ZykoticK9> foul_owl, right after bios yes - before grub!
[04:45] <xangua> Alan502: normally all channels in freenode are related to open source
[04:45] <foul_owl> sweet, i will try that
[04:45] <hrishi> Jordan_U: thanks brother :)
[04:45] <starnostar> anyone....bandwidth monitor that ignores lan activity?
[04:45] <Jordan_U> hrishi: You're welcome.

[04:46] <foul_owl> how do i run update-grub from live cd

[04:46] <mernilio> hi all, i have an ot-question about enchiladas, is that okay?
[04:46] <Jordan_U> foul_owl: Holding shift at boot is easier and will allow you to do what you need.
[04:46] <xangua> sebsebseb: a really long list, maybe in another life
[04:47] <foul_owl> thanks!
[04:47] <rww> !ot | mernilio
[04:47] <hungnv> how can I type e', it will become é
[04:47] <sebsebseb> xangua: yes, but you can scan through it, for example skip  the load of Ubuntu channels
[04:47] <hungnv> e` becomes è also
[04:47] <JetPackTuxedo> Alright guys, considering getting an iPod touch tomorrow. How annoying will it be to make it play nice with ubuntu?
[04:48] <mernilio> rww: thanks, but i was apperently banned from there :-(
[04:48] <rww> hungnv: set up a compose key using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ComposeKey and then do <Compose> ' e
[04:48] <thune3> foul_owl: that would involve chrooting. my recommendation is to change grub line (shift trick), during normal boot, and once into your regular system you can more easily make changes.
[04:48] <foul_owl> ok will do thaks
[04:48] <rww> mernilio: I'd recommend visiting #ubuntu-ops and talking to them about it, then
[04:48] <rww> the ban, not the mexican food
[04:49] <mernilio> maybe i can find some othere more proper channel.. there must be at least one irc-channel

[04:49] <mernilio> ok, thanks
[04:49] <sebsebseb> rww:  If feeling like  waiting to be voiced?
[04:50] <sebsebseb> rww: what did you mean by that?
[04:50] <IdleOne> sebsebseb: in #defocus before you can talk you have to wait for the bot to voice you

[05:01] <james296> does anyone here know if its possible to add a right click menu for the applications in the applications list?
[05:01] <james296> to uninstall an app?
[05:01] <james296> like in Linux Mint?
[05:01] <joshdreamland> ooh, seems there's a new version I can apt-get
[05:02] <maco> james296: thats what the software center is for
[05:02] <james296> but what if I want an easier solution?
[05:02] <maco> james296: mint has a totally separate piece of software for its menu.  i suppose if you can program you could add that functionality to gnome's menu...
[05:02] <hungnv> rww: I dont have en_us layout
[05:02] <quietone> can someone please point me to some advice for how to fix a machine that was nice and speedy until I reinstalled XP (now gone) and 10.4?
[05:02] <james296> so...no one has done that?
[05:03] <maco> james296: why would they? gnome is used on more than just ubuntu. ubuntu's uninstall commands wont work on fedora or suse. mint's menu is ONLY on mint so it can get away with not working cross-distro
[05:03] <elssar> the users command shows that 2 instances of me are logged on - elssar@elssar-laptop:~$ users
[05:03] <elssar> elssar elssar
[05:03] <elssar> whats going on with my computer?
[05:03] <james296> wrong, its in Fedora now
[05:04] <Cabezon> got a question....trying to install 10.04 desktop and after the initial screens, everything goes blank.  i figure it's because i have an ATI HD 5670 in there, which is fairly new.  but can i work around this?
[05:04] <Cynthia> elssar: are you in an X session with a terminal emulator?
[05:04] <maco> james296: with the uninstall commands?
[05:04] <_jesse_> elssar: mine show's 5, I believe it is related to the number of xterms you have open
[05:04] <james296> not sure but I know the Mint Menu is there
[05:04] <_jesse_> elssar: there is likely always one, then the xterm shows as a second
[05:04] <maco> james296: well yeah you can install mint's menu
[05:04] <holder> how do i run a game that i have installed from iso through wine (no linux installer) without inserting the cd? is there a way to point it to the /mnt directory when it looks for the cd?
[05:04] <Semitones> what's the syntax to put /foo/bar/Dropbox as a symbolic link inside /foo/bar/Ubuntu One ?
[05:04] <thune3> astropirate: you must take precautions regarding data loss when modifying partitions and fiilesystem sizes. Anything you would agonize over losing must be backed up. The operation will likely be successful, with data unharmed, but you should not take it as a guarantee.
[05:04] <maco> james296: i thought you wanted to change the *real* gnome menu to have distro-specific package management commands
[05:05] <elssar> oh, okay...thanks guys
[05:05] <james296> that too
[05:05] <elssar> Cynthia - yes
[05:05] <maco> james296: if you want to, go ahead and fork gnome's menu i guess...
[05:05] <foul_owl> where is xorg.conf in lucid
[05:05] <Cynthia> elssar: then your X session is the first elssar, and the terminal emulator is the second elssar
[05:05] <maco> james296: i mean, its not like the gnome people are *preventing* you from forking the code
[05:05] <james296> how do I "fork" gnomes menu?
[05:06] <sebsebseb> james296: you don't unless you know how to program properly
[05:06] <maco> james296: you download the source code, make whatever changes you want, and release it with a new name
[05:06] <james296> I dunno how to do that
[05:06] <Cynthia> james296: I recommend just editing the menu as you want: System/Preferences/Main Menu
[05:06] <maco> james296: tough cookies
[05:06] <elssar> thnx cynthia
[05:06] <maco> james296: like i said, you can go install the mint menu
[05:06] <james296> so why not help?
[05:06] <maco> james296: but changing gnome's menu is going to require sitting down and spending a few days programming
[05:07] <foul_owl> i need to change the xorg driver, where is xorg.conf
[05:07] <maco> james296: so, if you want to change the gnome menu, either learn to program or find a way to convince someone to do it for you (chocolate chip cookies or some money might help)
[05:07] <foul_owl> (need to change from command line)
[05:07] <Cynthia> foul_owl: /etc/X11/xorg.conf - the file might not exist, though
[05:07] <foul_owl> doesn't exist
[05:07] <_jesse_> foul_owl: sudo X -configure
[05:07] <_jesse_> foul_owl: there isn't one by default in lucid
[05:07] <Semitones> can Ubuntu One understand symbolic links?
[05:07] <foul_owl> from live cd
[05:08] <Cynthia> james296: I recommend just editing the menu as you want: System/Preferences/Main Menu
[05:08] <_jesse_> foul_owl: then do a chroot
[05:08] <maco> james296: to install the mint menu in ubuntu:  http://www.khattam.info/2009/08/01/install-linux-mint-menu-in-ubuntu/
[05:08] <sebsebseb> james296: or  use Mint if you really must, but Ubuntu is better really
[05:08] <holder> how do i run a game that i have installed from iso through wine (no linux installer) without inserting the cd? is there a way to point it to the /mnt directory when it looks for the cd?
[05:08] <hungnv> rww: which package containt en_us international layout?
[05:08] <hungnv> s/containt/contain
[05:08] <ramuday> Hi, i upgraded my system to 9.10 from 9.04 now it loads and stops at the terminal :(
[05:08] <foul_owl> how do i chroot
[05:09] <hungnv> chroot /bin/bash /some/where
[05:09] <milo_> ramuday: you downgrade it?
[05:09] <rww> hungnv: no idea. I'm kinda in the middle of something, and don't know much apart from what that wiki page I linked you to says. Perhaps someone else can help?
[05:09] <_jesse_> foul_owl: man chroot
[05:09] <_jesse_> foul_owl: you essentially just give it a new root directory
[05:09] <foul_owl> so like
[05:09] <_jesse_> foul_owl: so make it whatever your installation is
[05:09] <foul_owl> chroot /bin/bash /media/moutedhd
[05:10] <_jesse_> foul_owl: just try chroot /media/moutedhd
[05:10] <deexannihilate> Will someone please help me manually configure GRUB2 from startup?
[05:10] <foul_owl> ok thanks guys!!
[05:10] <Cabezon> i've tried editing the bootline to include "nomodeset" but the screen still goes blank\
[05:10] <ramuday> when i run a check on cat /etc/release --- it says 9.10 but wont run

[05:11] <Semitones> thune3, thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for
[05:11] <Semitones> thune3, now I just have to find out why ubuntu one is stuck at 0% synchronizing
[05:11] <james296> is it just me or is the Arcade icon under Games in the softsre center missing its icon?
[05:11] <james296> software*
[05:12] <Cynthia> james296: It's probably just you
[05:12] <hungnv> rww: ok, thanks. I cannot get it works anyway
[05:12] <james296> no, its not, Im using the default theme and have been
[05:12] <Cabezon> i know it's a fairly common problem with the 10.04 install, but i can't seem to find a document about ATI cards and how to doa  workaround to get to a point where I can install the drivers
[05:12] <deexannihilate> Is anyone able to help me manually configure grub2 from start-up? Pretty please :)
[05:13] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: What exacly are you trying to do?
[05:14] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: I need to reconfigure the drives that linux uses to start the computer
[05:14] <Lang_Shadow> anyone know of a good ftp server which requires you to make separate users for ftp and you are able to limit each user to a single folder and also set quota to each user
[05:14] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Why?
[05:14] <Lang_Shadow> ??
[05:14] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: My computer has a relatively new hard-drive and sound card. They were installed within the past 6 months. There is also a DVD-R drive and a CD-RW drive. The DVD-R drive was installed at the same time as the other new stuff. The DVD-R would not work with the CD-RW plugged in so the CD-RW had been disconnected. I plugged it in the other day disconnecting the DVD-R and the computer worked but the CD-RW drive would not.   The computer is dual booted with Kubuntu and Windows XP. The computer loads the intro Compaq screen and goes through the normal motions as it normally would except the screen where I would normally choose the operating system doesn't come up. It just stays black.
[05:16] <Lang_Shadow> I've tried proftpd and it wants you to use the linux users on the system and you are unable to login or set quota to a user
[05:16] <foul_owl> _jesse_ : how do i change the video driver for a mounted hd from a live cd?
[05:17] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Why do you think that grub needs to be re-configured?
[05:17] <Lang_Shadow> anyone know?
[05:17] <Adem> does g++ have a gui?
[05:17] <_jesse_> foul_owl: that, I'm afriad, is a bit out of my knowledge :(
[05:17] <thune3> Semitones: you might take a look at ~/.cache/ubuntuone/log/syncdaemon.log
[05:17] <Cabezon> anyone have at least a link to a workaround for the installation of 10.04 going black and staying black?
[05:17] <deexannihilate> Jordan_U: http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/cjowo/my_computer_is_not_working_broken/c0t29iu
[05:17] <ramuday> after i upgraded to 9.10 grub does not show 9.04 version it shows 8.10
[05:18] <starnostar> anyone know a bandwidth monitor that excludes lan traffic?
[05:18] <LSD|Ninja> If I upgrade a 9.10 install to 10.04, can I safely assume KMS is enabled (on an Intel 915)? Is there any way to confirm that?
[05:19] <foul_owl> anyone know how to change the video driver now that xorg.conf is deprecated
[05:19] <LSD|Ninja> foul_owl: by creating an xorg.conf
[05:19] <Hardekyn> Anybody know which file/folder in the home directory stores VPN connections?
[05:20] <starnostar> anyone know a bandwidth monitor that ignores lan traffic, something like vnstat
[05:20] <foul_owl> LSD|Ninja: where can i get a blank one
[05:20] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: The person who made that comment is confused about many things. He has no idea what he is talking about.
[05:20] <foul_owl> or a "bare bones"
[05:21] <LSD|Ninja> starnostar: spamming the same question every two minutes isn't going to encourage people to answer you ;)
[05:21] <Hardekyn> Anybody know which file/folder in the home directory stores the gnome theme?
[05:21] <LSD|Ninja> foul_owl: X -configure should do it. You may need to combine it with sudo, I can't remember.
[05:21] <SlikerT> Hardekyn it should be a hidden folder within your home directory
[05:21] <thune3> Cabezon: depends on your hardware. nvidia graphics that do that likely require "nomodeset" grub option, and intel 8XX series graphics likely require i915.modeset=1 grub option. Do you know your graphics hardware?
[05:21] <Hardekyn> SlikerT, called?
[05:21] <starnostar> well, nobody answers and nobody reads old messages, what do you suggest i do?
[05:22] <linux_is_my_hero> anyone wanna help me troubleshoot my sound?
[05:22] <deexannihilate> Jordan_U: :( Any idea on what I should do?
[05:22] <foul_owl> LSD|Ninja: I tried that, but it didn't work
[05:22] <LSD|Ninja> foul_owl: it should dump a basic xorg.conf into either ~ or wherever you start it from. From there, you edit it and move it to /etc/X11
[05:22] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Can you get to a BIOS screen for selecting which drive to boot from?
[05:23] <Cynthia> linux_is_my_hero: Certainly. Is it muted in Sound Preferences / Output Volume; is an application muted in Sound Preferences / Applications? What sound card do you have? What problem are you experiencing?
[05:23] <hungnv> any French people here? How can you type è with USA keyboard layouut ?
[05:23] <deexannihilate> Jordan_U: Yes.  It is open now.
[05:23] <starnostar> i spent countless hours on google looking for a solution, and the irc seems like more help than anything, and i know that nobody reads anything 3-5 lines up unless it pertains to them, please...if you have a better method to finding a solution ot my problem enlighten me
[05:23] <LSD|Ninja> starnostar: waiting a resonable amount of time before asking the same question
[05:23] <Cynthia> hungnv: I am.  It's lose/lose, but you have to work with it
[05:24] <hungnv> Cynthia: with Canada/canada layout, how can you type é à è á â ?
[05:24] <linux_is_my_hero> cynthia: no sound at all, and its not the speakers, i checked them with another audio source. its not muted, and my apps arent muted either.
[05:24] <foul_owl> LSD|Ninja: i tried to chroot and then run it, but it didn't exit sucessfully.
[05:25] <Cynthia> hungnv: look at the keyboard layout image in System / Preferences / Keyboard / Layouts / [Add] Canada
[05:25] <starnostar> thank you thune, much appriciated, and i think ill avoid this irc from now on
[05:25] <deexannihilate> Jordan_U: Yes, it is listed as first boot device. Assuming, it is this device [PM-WDC WD800BB]
[05:25] <Cynthia> hungnv: there's a dedicated key for é, but for the others, you hit the accent key, THEN the letter, so ` + e = è
[05:25] <KurtKraut> How do I install Ubuntu with RAID1 software-based?
[05:25] <Cabezon> heh.  nomodeset doesn't work
[05:26] <Cynthia> linux_is_my_hero: then it's probably a driver issue. what sound card does 'lshw -C sound' give? (pastebin)
[05:26] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Start holding shift then select your hard drive (continue holding shift). Do you still just get a black screen?
[05:27] <deexannihilate> Jordan_U: from start up?
[05:27] <Jordan_U> !alternate | KurtKraut
[05:27] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Yes.
[05:27] <Cabezon> any other boot/install options i can try?  there seems to be a lot of talk on the forums about 10.04 going black during install, but nothing for ATI cards, mostly nvidia
[05:27] <KurtKraut> Jordan_U, I haven't seen such option in alternate install. And I didn't find any official documentation telling how to do RAID1.
[05:27] <hungnv> Cynthia: it does not work for me too, what the heck!
[05:27] <deexannihilate> Jordan_U: It never prompted drives. It's a blank screen, yes.
[05:28] <Cabezon> hey, would the alternate CD work better for me in that case?
[05:28] <Jordan_U> KurtKraut: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID

[05:29] <godfree> is there a netinstall for the alterative for this machine?
[05:29] <godfree> alternative net install lawl
[05:29] <foul_owl> how do i change video drivers for an installation from a live cd

[05:30] <SlikerT> hardekyn I found that directory

[05:32] <Lang_Shadow> anyone know of a good ftp server which requires you to make separate users for ftp and you are able to limit each user to a single folder and also set quota to each user??
[05:32] <v4ntager> Only users with access level ADDFACTS can add factoids.
[05:32] <linux_is_my_hero> cynthia: what is the URL for pastebin? pastebin.com looks kinda shady.
[05:33] <godfree> lang_shadow: get to configuring
[05:33] <Lang_Shadow> huh?
[05:33] <thune3> Cabezon: alternate would work, but you will likely still run into the issue, unless you install proprietary drivers off the bat. the only other workaround option i know is "xdriver=vesa"
[05:33] <Cynthia> linux_is_my_hero: uh, it isn't. however, paste.ubuntu.com might look less shady to you
[05:33] <Lang_Shadow> configuring what???
[05:33] <godfree> lang_shadow: your choice of ftp server
[05:34] <godfree> most of em support such feature
[05:34] <Lang_Shadow> I've tried vsftpd and proftpd
[05:34] <Lang_Shadow> both unable to do what i want
[05:34] <godfree> Really?
[05:34] <Cabezon> thanks, thune3....working on the install right now, will give those a shot
[05:34] <Lang_Shadow> yup
[05:35] <godfree> http://www.proftpd.org/docs/faq/linked/faq-ch5.html
[05:35] <Cabezon> well, bingo.  so far it's worke3d
[05:35] <godfree> 12. How can I limit users to a particular directory tree?
[05:36] <Lang_Shadow> proftpd can't do users and rely on linux users, also unable to do quota. plus the users except those with sudo access can't login
[05:36] <Lang_Shadow> like i made a new linux user and removed ssh access and it can't login
[05:37] <godfree> you removed access and it worked basically?
[05:37] <linux_is_my_hero> cynthia: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/456216/
[05:37] <Iraqi> How install file :Vuze_Installer.tar.bz2? please
[05:37] <deexannihilate> Jordan_u; off topic slightly. the file is 700 mb and I have capped internet, is it going to use 700 mb of internet to download?
[05:37] <Cay> Has anyone been able to get TwinView working on ubuntu 10.04? With Laptops?
[05:38] <Iraqi> Please step by step
[05:38] <Lang_Shadow> like i made a new linux user and removed ssh access and it can't login to ftp
[05:38] <Cay> I have been scouring the internet looking for this but either it's a bunch of people with problems or nothing
[05:38] <godfree> Covers how the mod_quotatab module can be used for implementing quotas

[05:38] <godfree> http://www.proftpd.org/docs/howto/index.html
[05:38] <godfree> READ IT
[05:38] <godfree> 3 times if need be
[05:39] <FloodBot2> godfree: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:39] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Yes.
[05:39] <Cabezon> heh.  i love how people bitch if their answer isn't answered instantly and completely.
[05:39] <godfree> my answer wasnt answered rofl
[05:39] <Cay> Aww but enter for every sentence is so much better!
[05:39] <godfree> so i just downloaded the full iso
[05:39] <deexannihilate> Jordan_U: is there any way around using a live cd? if not, i'll have to order one.
[05:40] <Cynthia> linux_is_my_hero: looks good; I have a similar card (MCP61 High Definition Audio) and it works under Lucid. as you say nothing is muted, I will say I have no idea. Perhaps another person could help.
[05:40] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: If you want a really small download that will probably help you can grab Super GRUB2 Disk.
[05:41]  * godfree idles silently
[05:45] <abuayyoub> Hello, can someone please help me i'm having a really big problem. I tried to log into my machine today and I got this : Error: Grub out of Partition. Lucid is the only OS I have on this computer. Im actually using a really old knoppix disk now. can someone help me please fix grub?
[05:45] <Cay> Seriously, anyone at all
[05:45] <Cay> has _anyone_ gotten nvidia TwinView with a laptop to work

[05:47] <Cay> so much for "this is as easy as windows"
[05:47] <godfree> cay: the problem?
[05:47] <Cay> It doesn't detect the monitor
[05:47] <Jordan_U> abuayyoub: Anything that you did recently that might be relevant?
[05:47] <jorechp> godfree,  i can use the pc, but say sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg but dont create xorg.conf
[05:47] <godfree> cay: he monitor, video card all of that
[05:48] <Cay> Unless I comment out the laptop LCD section
[05:48] <jorechp> my question is how to create xorg.conf to change driver i915 for vesa driver
[05:48] <Cay> then it fails to boot the laptop LCD, boots on the external LCD. I had to declare a custom EDID for the laptop LCD
[05:48] <godfree> jorechp: where a re you looknig?
[05:49] <jorechp> i try to create in /etc/X11
[05:49] <Cay> (and nvidia settings sucks _period_)
[05:49] <godfree> jorechp: type gedit /etc/x11/xorg.conf

[05:54] <Cay> Are you using a laptop with nvidia drivers?
[05:54] <foul_owl> desktop
[05:54] <Cay> (nvidia is given, but a laptop?)
[05:54] <foul_owl> fresh install
[05:54] <Cay> hmmm
[05:54] <godfree> foul_owl: sudo Xorg -configure
[05:54] <Cay> it's been no end of hell for me
[05:54] <foul_owl> i can't get to a terminal
[05:54] <abuayyoub> Jordan_U:  Where can I find the output txt file?
[05:54] <foul_owl> so ican
[05:54] <foul_owl> so i can't do sudo Xorg -configure
[05:54] <Cay> foul_owl, do you have two computers?
[05:54] <foul_owl> no
[05:54] <godfree> if you can get into a console, try ctrl-F1 to F4
[05:54] <foul_owl> ]but i have a live cd
[05:55] <Cay> really? :(
[05:55] <Cay> I'd say sshd in
[05:55] <foul_owl> tried f1 to f4 no werk
[05:55] <godfree> cay: how do i chroot into my hardrives filesystem?
[05:55] <foul_owl> i do have a live cd though
[05:55] <foul_owl> in it right now
[05:55] <Cay> No it doesn't, there's a problem with the nvidia card that owns console
[05:55] <godfree> fowl_owl: good give me a minute
[05:55] <Jordan_U> abuayyoub: In your home directory. Note though that this is a bash script, not an sh script.

[05:55] <foul_owl> thanks you guys
[05:56] <godfree> darn interweb
[05:56] <foul_owl> been working on this shit for the past 3 hours....dman geforce 6150

[05:56] <Alan502> Hi, can i force all my apps to connect through an specific proxy?
[05:56] <Optimus55> hey my cpu usage shows 100% but system monitor isn't showing me what's using all my cpu. what argument for 'ps' can i use to see all processes + cpu usage, then kill it?
[05:56] <godfree> foul_owl: calm down, anger results in mixed commands. sure don't want that
[05:56] <Cay> mount it, configure the xorg for it, then reboot
[05:56] <Cay> foul_owl, does the recovery mode work for console?
[05:57] <godfree> cay: explain how?

[05:57] <Cay> godfree, mount my windows partition?
[05:57] <Cay> or?
[05:57] <godfree> foul_owl: type this no quotes in a command line: 'sudo mkdir /mnt/repair '
[05:57] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: It can also be written to a floppy disk or dd'd to any type of bootable drive (like a flash drive).
[05:58] <paranoidphreak> Jordan_U: hey, just a quick question, you had instructed me a little while back to change my UUID on the flash drive doing the following: sudo tune2fs -U random /dev/sdXX, updating fstab with the new UUID and running "grub update". is this all i have to do?
[05:58] <Cay> foul_owl, can you get in via recovery mode?
[05:58] <godfree> foul_owl: ok?

[05:59] <Cay> read that
[05:59] <godfree> lalitha: enjoy the fish
[05:59] <abuayyoub> Jordan_U: ok, how do I execute it? ./boot_info_script055.sh just gives me Premission denied even as root.
[06:00] <Cay> for mounting your windows partition http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_dapper#How_to_mount.2Funmount_Windows_partitions_.28NTFS.29_manually.2C_and_allow_all_users_to_read_only
[06:00] <Lalitha> rww, won't that kill my panels too ?
[06:00] <godfree> cay: i mam good
[06:00] <godfree> foul_owl: type this no quotes in a command line: 'sudo mkdir /mnt/repair '
[06:00] <rww> Lalitha: it automatically restarts, without fish.
[06:00] <foul_owl> godfree: i did that
[06:00] <godfree> ok
[06:00] <godfree> =)
[06:00] <foul_owl> actually, you know what
[06:00] <Lalitha> rww, thanks.
[06:00] <foul_owl> will x use xorg.conf if i make one?
[06:00] <godfree> now we need to find your installation partition, can you click system and than gparted
[06:00] <gutsy> !welcome
[06:01] <Jordan_U> abuayyoub: chmod +x boot_info_script055.sh && ./boot_info_script055.sh
[06:01] <rww> foul_owl: yes
[06:01] <foul_owl> can someone just pastbin a barebones xorg.conf
[06:01] <phenom> Any one have a recommendation for a backup utility that will automatically  monitor a folder and backup to a remote pc via ssh? Perhaps a utility to automate rsync.
[06:01] <jorechp> godfree, my bad is X no capitol ty for help me godfree  ty so much,
[06:01] <Optimus55> hey, Xorg is consuming >50% cpu, is this normal? and what can i do about it??
[06:01] <v4ntager> Only users with access level ADDFACTS can add factoids.
[06:01] <LifeEscalade> anyone know if there are any settings I need to configure in ubuntu to upload pictures to the image folder within the virtual host for apache?
[06:01] <godfree> foul_owl: if you can get into the system you can do it yourself
[06:01] <foul_owl> no i cant
[06:01] <Cay> foul_owl, read that link I pasted from nvnews above if you are getting the blank screen of death. You are going to need to get a custom EDID
[06:02] <gutsy> !google
[06:02] <foul_owl> hmm now firefox isn't working. input/output error
[06:02] <rww> foul_owl: "sudo X -configure" while X isn't running would create one
[06:02] <Alan502> Hi, can i force all my apps to connect through an specific proxy? :) please help
[06:02] <godfree> foul_owl: i want you to get into your installation of ubuntu, than i will help you configure your graphics
[06:02] <foul_owl> rww: doesn't work
[06:02] <foul_owl> crashes
[06:02] <rww> fun
[06:02] <foul_owl> hehe yep
[06:02] <Cay> :|
[06:02] <godfree> foul_owl: the commands thus far are to get you into your system from the liveCD
[06:02] <foul_owl> why was xorg.conf deprecated?
[06:02] <Lalitha> Cay, i need that link too.
[06:03] <Cay> Lalitha, which one?
[06:03] <foul_owl> godfree: still listening
[06:03] <Cynthia> foul_owl: better autodetection of hardware by X, apparently
[06:03] <totoro> can external drives have linux install on it and booted on
[06:03] <Lalitha> Cay, blank screen of deat
[06:03] <godfree> lalitha: can you boot?
[06:03] <Cynthia> foul_owl: however, xorg.conf-less works for the majority of people
[06:03] <Cay> Lalitha, http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=2118873&postcount=22
[06:03] <godfree> lol
[06:04] <Cay> it's a known issue with nvidia drviers and 10.04
[06:04] <abuayyoub> Jordan_U:  Got it... http://pastebin.com/9pXhv2Aw
[06:04] <foul_owl> godfree: what next
[06:04] <Lalitha> godfree, YES :P . I don't have the problem. I am just going to bookmark the link.
[06:04] <godfree> cay: can you not paste the command to do so?
[06:04] <godfree> lalitha: good idea
[06:04] <godfree> foul_owl: can you get into gparted?
[06:04] <Cay> to do what?  I was just going to ask for that lol.
[06:08] <LifeEscalade> Anyone have any knowledge with uploading images from windows to linux?
[06:08] <Jordan_U> abuayyoub: You're welcome :)
[06:08] <a5h15h> what's the command(by creating app launcher) to change the default window of gnome-terminal?
[06:08] <LifeEscalade> more specifically ftp
[06:09] <godfree> 1 hour
[06:09] <godfree> lame
[06:09] <abuayyoub> Jordan_U:  I think yesterday I tried to run fsck while I had gnome runnig I didn't notice the warning until after I ran the program where it said it *WILL* cause damage to your fs.... I closed the program but apparently it still jacked it up
[06:09] <godfree> not even sure i have ant dvd's lawl
[06:09] <godfree> *any
[06:09] <Cay> Hey, is an HDMI montior "HDMI" or "DPMS"
[06:09] <zenlunatic> abuayyoub, nothing to do with gnome... cant fsck a mounted device
[06:10] <godfree> cay:do you need help
[06:10] <abuayyoub> zenlunatic:  yea? i saw the error and cancled it right a way maube thats why it screwed it up
[06:11] <LifeEscalade> Anyone have any knowledge with uploading images from windows to linux? more specifically uploading through ftp.
[06:11] <Cay> godfree, I came in here because I can't get twinview working (or xinerama) so yes very much so
[06:11] <Cay> I'm seriously at my wits end
[06:11] <zenlunatic> abuayyoub, whats your partitioning scheme
[06:11] <godfree> cay: stop trolling than
[06:11] <Cabezon> hmm.  the install went fine after adding xforcevesa into the boot line.  computer restarts, does its bios work and then just quits--flashing cursor, no boot
[06:11] <zenlunatic> LifeEscalade, what do you mean uploading
[06:11] <Cay> godfree, wtf, I knew the answer to the guys problem
[06:12] <godfree> cay: i am not talking ajust about tha
[06:12] <godfree> *that
[06:12] <Cay> what do you mean?
[06:12] <wise_crypt> Cay: whatch the language
[06:12] <abuayyoub> zenlunatic:  http://pastebin.com/9pXhv2Aw
[06:12] <LifeEscalade> zenlunatic: meaning ftping from my windows computer to linux server. When i try to upload an image into the image folder i get a failed error
[06:12] <godfree> cay: just take a breather
[06:13] <Cay> actually interesting, you seem to be the one trolling me.
[06:13] <thune3> Cabezon: you still need the workaround until you find a fix (maybe installing proprietary drivers)
[06:13] <SandGorgon> does anybody know how I can get BCI (font hinting compiler) enabled in Ubuntu 10.04 ? doe I need to patch and recompile ?
[06:13] <godfree> wb foul_owl
[06:13] <foul_owl> thanks
[06:13] <Cay> I can't believe it didn't dawn on me before this, I offer an answer and you ask me to put that into one command. Most things can't be wrapped into a single command.
[06:13] <Cabezon> thune3:  easy enough to find....it just seems that the installation doesn't want to even start to boot
[06:13] <foul_owl> /dev/sda1
[06:13] <godfree> cay: correct, wait no. echo 1 && echo 2
[06:14] <godfree> i think that is your usb drive
[06:14] <foul_owl> me?
[06:14] <Jordan_U> Cabezon: Hold shift during boot to get the grub menu then edit the menu entry to add xforcevesa to the kernel parameters.
[06:14] <godfree> foul_owl:sorry liveCD
[06:14] <foul_owl> yea
[06:15] <Cay> godfree, seriously are you just a troll or what is your problem?
[06:15] <zenlunatic> LifeEscalade, can you reach other network services on the linux box?
[06:15] <foul_owl> ????
[06:15] <godfree> foul_owl: im brain dead at the moment, give me a sec
[06:15] <foul_owl> lol
[06:15] <foul_owl> Cay: can you resend that article
[06:16] <godfree> fowl_owl: here we go
[06:16] <a5h15h> be back in a min
[06:16] <Cay> foul_owl, sure it's pretty simple take a look at it, it worked for getting one of my monitors working but I can't get twinview working now http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=2118873&postcount=22
[06:16] <LifeEscalade> zenlunatic: through the install of webmin, yes. When i use my ftp client on my windows computer I can upload .html and other files, but when i go to upload images into the image folder, I get an error message within the ftp client and the file fails to upload
[06:17] <zenlunatic> abuayyoub, so all your stuff is on one partition and it is corrupted?
[06:17] <Cay> it sounds like that is your problem, I could be wrong though. If you need to know how to mount your ntfs partition I've already done the appropriate digging for it.
[06:17] <godfree> fowl_owl: http://pastie.org/1021405
[06:17] <Cabezon> verifying DMI pool dat.....AMD Data Change....Update New Data to DMI! ....and then, nothing.  don't think it's even making it to grub
[06:17] <Jordan_U> larsivi: Cabezon
[06:17] <zenlunatic> LifeEscalade, you need to narrow it down to either your client or server
[06:17] <godfree> foul_owl: command by command you should be able to get an xorg file
[06:18] <zenlunatic> LifeEscalade, any other machines connect to the server?
[06:18] <Jordan_U> larsivi: Cabezon Sorry, that was supposed to be /lastlog Cabezon
[06:18]  * Jordan_U needs sleep
[06:18] <godfree> foul_owl: you ok over there
[06:18] <inertial> how do I get manpages for stuff like itoa() ?
[06:18] <foul_owl> thanks guys
[06:18] <foul_owl> yeah im good
[06:18] <LifeEscalade> zenlunatic: where do you think the problem lies?
[06:18] <Jordan_U> inertial: sudo apt-get install manpages-dev
[06:19] <zenlunatic> LifeEscalade, i dont know from those details but my first step would be to attempt the same upload on another windows box
[06:19] <Jordan_U> inertial: And don't use itoa, use strtol :)
[06:19] <godfree> cay: currently he is in the live CD. so he is not actually in his system. i needed to move him into his ubuntu install and fix Xorg
[06:19] <abuayyoub> Jordan_U:  how can I access my FS from this live disk?/ It looks like it's in /media/sda5 i can cd into it but ls is empty
[06:20] <godfree> cay: if he tried to edit xorg right now, it would be the liveCD instead
[06:20] <zenlunatic> LifeEscalade, I would double check the daemon setup too and perhaps network connectivity between host and client
[06:20] <LifeEscalade> zenlunatic: lol if that were only possible. im on the only windows lap box on the network. other lap box is a mac
[06:20] <Jordan_U> inertial: Ignore that last comment, I need to get off IRC and get some sleep.
[06:20] <foul_owl> godfree: do i need to chroot
[06:20] <LifeEscalade> zenlunatic: but wouldnt that affect regular file upload as well?
[06:20] <godfree> foul_owl: yes sudo chroot /mnt/repair su
[06:21] <godfree> missed that
[06:21] <godfree> than type the last command
[06:21] <inertial> thanks Jordan_U
[06:21] <a5h15h> i've created a launcher for terminal...whats the command to set the size of the terminal window?
[06:21] <Cabezon> yeah, i'm not getting anywhere.  wonder if i should boot the live CD and reinstall grub from there
[06:21] <Cay> godfree, ah
[06:21] <godfree> chroot: i call it change root changes the working directory.. if im correct
[06:22] <zenlunatic> no
[06:22] <zenlunatic> cd changes the cwd
[06:22] <godfree> god im tired
[06:22] <Jordan_U> abuayyoub: It's not mountable currently *don't try to mount it*. Run fsck with it unmounted. I need to leave now.
[06:22] <godfree> ignore that
[06:22] <Jordan_U> inertial: You're welcome.
[06:22] <thune3> Cabezon: probably a good idea, i'm only wondering if you installed grub to a secondary drive, instead of the first one.
[06:22] <abuayyoub> Jordan_U:  ok thank you man. go sleep :) have a nice night.
[06:22] <godfree> change root right?
[06:22] <Cabezon> heh.  you know, that wouldn't be the first time that's happened
[06:23] <Jordan_U> abuayyoub: You're welcome :)
[06:23] <thune3> Cabezon: in which case you might be able to tell bios to boot from secondary
[06:23] <godfree> it changes the root directory for all processes
[06:23] <Cabezon> jesus.  that's where grub went
[06:23] <joshdreamland1> When I try to run my GL application, I get this error: Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":1.0".
[06:23] <Cabezon> doesn't make me happy, but if it works....:)
[06:23] <godfree> thats like mistaking cout and cin
[06:24] <godfree> imo
[06:24] <foul_owl> godfree: http://pastie.org/1021412
[06:24] <godfree> did you use chroot?
[06:24] <foul_owl> yes
[06:25] <foul_owl> but x is still running, at least on the live cd
[06:25] <foul_owl> but if i chrooted, it shouldn't matter
[06:25] <godfree> foul_owl: i know, i ned your hardrive /dev/???
[06:25] <godfree> you gave me the liveCD
[06:26] <nowimproved> How do I check my monitor refresh rate? It doesn't say in xorg.conf.
[06:26] <godfree> cant comprehend in this state how to get that lol, its a simple task but
[06:26] <nowimproved> Preferably through command window.
[06:26] <Cabezon> nice.  my 1TB drive is seen as an unknown format--windows 7 decided for some reason that the two partitions on it needed to be dynamic
[06:26] <foul_owl> godfree: ?
[06:26] <Cabezon> hopefully installing grub on it didn't blow up all the data on it.  that's a lot to recover
[06:27] <godfree> foul_owl: click file and it should have a disk option. /dev/something and another option /dev/sda1 give me the second
[06:27] <nowimproved> Hey my question is important. I just had serious vertigo and its messed me up for weeks. Please some sympathy, lol
[06:27] <godfree> foul: this is in gparted
[06:27] <foul_owl> my root partition is on /dev/sda1
[06:28] <a5h15h> whats the --geometry command to set the terminal window size
[06:28] <a5h15h> *"--geometry"
[06:28] <Cabezon> is it possible in ubuntu to change dynamic partitions to proper ones or at least install something so ubuntu can read dynamic partitions?
[06:28] <godfree> fowl_owl: is there another one like that like hda1
[06:28] <Cabezon> or am i completely screwed unless i reinstall windows?
[06:29] <foul_owl> ubuntu uses sdx now
[06:29] <_jesse_> nowimproved: try xrandr -q
[06:29] <nowimproved> hmm
[06:29] <Jay2> hi guys, why can't i use my wn321g with lucid?
[06:29] <nowimproved> looks like its 60 or even less, that's probably not good
[06:30] <LifeEscalade> zenlunatic: so as for uploading, when I try to upload the image i get Permission Denied
[06:30] <_jesse_> nowimproved: you coudl set it with xrandr --rate 75 or whatever
[06:30] <psuasti_> iirc
[06:30] <godfree> foul_owl: sdx1 for you?
[06:30] <_jesse_> only persists for the current session though
[06:30] <psuasti_> :P
[06:31] <yackrr> a5h15h: gnome-terminal --geometry 48x24
[06:31] <foul_owl> no, i mean ubuntu doesn't use hdx anymore, it uses sdx
[06:31] <LifeEscalade> zenlunatic: error id i think is 550
[06:31] <foul_owl> root partition is /dev/sda1
[06:31] <godfree> foul: that is your liveCD though
[06:31] <foul_owl> i know you have to shut down x to recongiure it, but it shouldnt matter because i chrooted right?
[06:32] <a5h15h> yackrr, ain't working
[06:33] <godfree> foul: try this
[06:33] <Cabezon> heh.  just from reading online, i'm guessing no-go on getting those partitions to be seen by ubuntu
[06:33] <a5h15h> yackrr, its working...i was substituting x with *
[06:34] <yackrr> good.
[06:34] <foul_owl> godfree, can you just pastebin your xorg.conf please
[06:34] <godfree> http://pastie.org/1021405
[06:35] <godfree> if that doesnt work change hda to hda1 or hd1
[06:35] <thune3> Cabezon: i had to look it up, that's the first i've even heard of windows 'dynamic disks'
[06:35] <godfree> if you can boot into the machine just run Xorg -configure
[06:35] <foul_owl> already did that
[06:35] <foul_owl> it was already mounted, i already chrooted it
[06:35] <godfree> Xorg -configure on the broken machine restores Xorg
[06:36] <godfree> foul: not exactly, you chrooted into the usb :p
[06:36] <godfree> wb
[06:36] <napster> How can I recursively set permission of all the enclosed files (excluding diretories) to 0775?
[06:36] <a5h15h> yackrr, thanks...
[06:36] <godfree> change the 2 line to sda1 or sd1
[06:36] <godfree> whichever works
[06:36] <foul_owl> dude, the dirve i chrooted to is 200 gigs, its not the usb....
[06:37] <Cabezon> thune3:  it's something retarded where windows maintains the partition information and not the drive
[06:37] <godfree> foul: ok type this 'cd ~ && ls'
[06:37] <godfree> what does it show?
[06:37] <cordor> is there loudness control for linux?
[06:37] <yackrr> a5h15h: welcome
[06:37] <Jack2000> Hello, I need your help please. I need to make a big playlist with hundreds of files of different cartoons for my son on his Ubuntu laptop. The playlist - i can organize, but i would like to do something so that when he opens the player, they continue playing from where they stopped the last time. He is 5.
[06:38] <Cabezon> i've never trusted it so i always create "primary" partitions.  i decided to resize a partition one day, and bam.  both partitions suddenly became dynamic\
[06:38] <godfree> or ls ~ LOL
[06:38] <godfree> i am way too tired
[06:38] <foul_owl> bash: cd: /home/ubuntu: No such file or directory
[06:38] <foul_owl> can you just please just send me your xorg.conf
[06:38] <godfree> foul: you are still in the usb =)
[06:38] <lint> i have a funny question to ask. when i installed ubuntu i copied over my setting from a linux mint install now theres a space on my firefox browser with all linux mint links, i deleted the links but now i have a space between my address bar and where the web page is viewed, how can i get rid of this?
[06:38] <foul_owl> will x use xorg.conf if i just reate that file
[06:39] <joshdreamland1> Jesus, I've asked ten different things here over the course of several months, and no one has once answered. Are my messages getting through?
[06:39] <godfree> foul: Xorg -configure CREATES A BRAND NEW XORG
[06:39] <foul_owl> it doesnt work!
[06:39] <godfree> josh: yes?
[06:39] <joshdreamland1> Well, screw my luck
[06:39] <googlyeyes> high
[06:39] <godfree> foul: NOT IN THE LIVE CD restart and select ubuntu safemode or what the heck ever
[06:39] <thune3> Cabezon: i would *think* some sort of recovery is possible. gotta run. good luck.
[06:40] <mi|o> exit
[06:40] <foul_owl> godfree: how do i load safe mode?
[06:41] <cordor> Jack2000: are those cartoonsare video?
[06:41] <foul_owl> btw, thanks for the help!! :)
[06:41] <Jack2000> yes cordor

[06:42] <Jay2> hello guys, how can i make my b43 work instead of the STA ones?
[06:42] <Iraqi> godfree: how can edit "grub" to bootloader?
[06:43] <cordor> Jack2000: i think you have to write your own interface.
[06:43] <googlyeyes> Iraqi: are you ok
[06:43] <Jack2000> i have no idea how to do that :(
[06:43] <SlikerT> Iraqi have you tried VLC
[06:43] <_jesse_> Iraqi: VLC should be able to play flv's
[06:44] <SlikerT> sudo apt-get vlc

[06:44] <Jack2000> can you please assist me cordor if it's quick ?

[06:46] <onix> SlikerT: thanks, works
[06:46] <Ego_Proctor> does anyone know which repository I can use to get the newest version of GNS3  0.7.2 so I don't have to compile to source?
[06:47] <comsa> totoro use mplayer
[06:47] <Jay2> Ego_Proctor, do you have  packet tracer?
[06:47] <psycho_oreos> Jay2, highly depends on your chipset and ubuntu version you have installed

[06:48] <lint> haha
[06:48] <Jay2> psycho_oreos, I am using 10.04 and my chipset is rt73
[06:48] <Ego_Proctor> I already have my CCNA I need to work with CCNP and CCIE stuff
[06:48] <psycho_oreos> Jay2, sounds like rt73 is usb variant :) its a different chipset, different brand entirely
[06:48] <totoro> comsa, it said GStreamer encountered a general library supporting error
[06:49] <Optimus55> i have a package that partially removed then failed. now it doesn't want to be removed. is there any way to force an apt-get remove to work?
[06:49] <ciccione> ciao
[06:49] <Jay2> psycho_oreos, so how do i go on making this work? in bt3/4 this works w/out any problem
[06:49] <crankharder> why would a process defined in /etc/init/foo.conf be started more than once?
[06:49] <Ego_Proctor> Jay2, you know what I mean..?
[06:49] <Jay2> in ubuntu, i can't make it to work :(
[06:49] <comsa> totoro dose file have flv ext
[06:49] <totoro> comsa, excuse me?
[06:49] <totoro> comsa, the file is .swf
[06:50] <Jay2> Ego_Proctor, where can i download packet tracer for ubuntu?
[06:50] <SlikerT> optimus55
[06:50] <Ego_Proctor> from the cisco netacad site.
[06:50] <psycho_oreos> Jay2, you should be using rt73usb which is provided natively in kernel and it should work out of the box.. I believe the firmware should also be included in ubuntu, if not, you can grab it from the repository
[06:50] <SlikerT> type sudo apt-get install -f
[06:50] <Jay2> how do i get the firmware?
[06:50] <Ego_Proctor> you need to be a member of the CISCO network academy to get it
[06:50] <Iraqi> How i can my laptop support taple "touch screen"? any code or link please
[06:50] <SlikerT> then that should fix your broken dependencies
[06:50] <Jay2> when i do lsmod | grep rt73
[06:50] <_jesse_> Iraqi: edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg, but be careful
[06:50] <Ego_Proctor> there is no firmware once you have packet tracer.
[06:50] <Jay2> it doesnt show anything at all :(
[06:51] <psycho_oreos> Jay2, normally you shouldn't check with lsusb
[06:51] <Iraqi> jesse: Thank you
[06:51] <comsa> mplayer -dumpaudio your file -dumpfile newfile
[06:51] <psycho_oreos> Jay2, err I meant iwconfig
[06:51] <comsa> newfile.mp3
[06:51] <Jay2> ohh
[06:51] <Jay2> i didnt know that.
[06:51] <Jay2> this is my 2nd week on using ubuntu :D
[06:51] <psycho_oreos> I've never heard of packet tracer, that's either some fancy gimmick or some really customised/tailored program
[06:52] <Jay2> so where do i download the firmware for rt73usb psycho_oreos?
[06:52] <psycho_oreos> Jay2, you should at minimum have wlan0 interface, that will be your wireless, if you have onboard wireless and it uses a community built derivative (usually) the usb one may appear as wlan1 instead of wlan0
[06:53] <psycho_oreos> Jay2, like I said you normally don't need to, try sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
[06:53] <Jack2000> What's the best mplayer video output for .avi xvid files? I need the best quality and colors with no smoothened video from it.
[06:53] <Jay2> but i dont have wlan0 :(
[06:53] <crankharder> why would a process defined in /etc/init/foo.conf be started more than once?
[06:53] <SlikerT> Jack2000 try Vlc
[06:53] <psycho_oreos> Jay2, pastebin your dmesg output
[06:53] <foul_owl> can someone please pastebin their xorg.conf
[06:53] <psycho_oreos> !pastebin | Jay2
[06:54] <Iraqi> jesse: Error :   The file or folder file:///boot/grub/grub.cfg does not exist.??!!!
[06:54] <Jack2000> SlikerT, are you sure ? vlc is really bad I heard...
[06:54] <razz1> need help setting up wireless printer using cups, USB works but wireless doesnot, I can ping the printer ip and it's connected. any guess where I am going wrong
[06:54] <SlikerT> VLC is always worked pretty well for me
[06:54] <Jack2000> on what output ?
[06:54] <Jay2> dmesg
[06:54] <Jay2> all of them?
[06:54] <LifeEscalade> omg i feel like a complete dumbass :P
[06:55] <psycho_oreos> Jay2, yes, right from the beginning, or just get pastebinit
[06:55] <Iraqi> jesse: how open/edit file menu.list in folder "grub" Please? Thank
[06:55] <foul_owl> can someone please pastebin their xorg.conf
[06:55] <_jesse_> Iraqi: hit alt-F2 and type gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:56] <SwedeMike> foul_owl: what do you want to accomplish? most of the time it's fine if it's empty.
[06:56] <Iraqi> jesse: Thank you Very much :-x
[06:56] <foul_owl> i cant explain, but please help
[06:56] <slidinghorn> lol um...ok?  what's the problem foul_owl
[06:56] <SwedeMike> foul_owl: mine is empty, there is nothing to pastebin.
[06:56] <Jay2> psycho_oreos, i just did the paste.ubuntu.com
[06:56] <foul_owl> trust me, you will help me so much
[06:57] <foul_owl> all i need is a blank one, with the line referencing the video driver
[06:57] <psycho_oreos> Jay2, now you will need to copy and paste me that new link
[06:57] <Jay2> psycho_oreos, http://paste.ubuntu.com/456238/ <- this one?
[06:57] <yackrr> fish
[06:57] <psycho_oreos> Jay2, that's it
[06:57] <foul_owl> its too hard to explain, just need a blank one with the line referncing the video driver
[06:57] <SwedeMike> foul_owl: just google for xorg.conf, you'll find plenty of examples if that's what you need.
[06:57] <Iraqi> jesse: Sorry, Nothing happen
[06:57] <Jay2> what is pastebinit?
[06:58] <_jesse_> foul_owl: this is what I've got http://pastebin.com/CbmQBCVP
[06:58] <Ego_Proctor> Jay2, pastebin is a website that lets you paste stuff, like configs and such, and then pastelinks into chat
[06:59] <foul_owl> ahhh thank you so much!!!
[06:59] <_jesse_> Iraqi: ? if you have 10.04 it should be /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[06:59] <Ego_Proctor> pastebinit lets you auto pastebin output from terminal commands
[06:59] <Jay2> ohh
[06:59] <Ego_Proctor> like cat xorg.conf | pastebinit
[06:59] <Ego_Proctor> then it returns the web address for your pastebin to the ternimal
[06:59] <Jay2> so i can do
[06:59] <Iraqi> how make my Linux support "Touch Screen" my laptop is HP Pailion tx 2500?
[07:00] <Jay2> dmesg | pastebinit
[07:00] <Ego_Proctor> sure
[07:00] <Jay2> lemme try
[07:00] <Ego_Proctor> if you install pastebinit first.
[07:00] <Iraqi> jesse : is 8 not 10 , sorry
[07:00] <_jesse_> Iraqi: ah then yes, you should be right, it is likely /boot/grub/menu.list
[07:01] <NeoCicak> hi all.. has anyone used vmware workstation before? I'm getting 'Could not connect ethernet0 to virtual device /dev/vmnet0'  :(  i use 'bridge' networking
[07:01] <Ego_Proctor> if I do a sudo wget in the command line does it download to the directory I am in?
[07:01] <Iraqi> jesse: right, so how now edit file menu.lst please?
[07:01] <_jesse_> Iraqi: with a text editor
[07:01] <rww> Ego_Proctor: yes
[07:01] <Jay2> this pastebinit is cool
[07:02] <Iraqi> jesse: Thank you
[07:02] <Jay2> psycho_oreos,  http://pastebin.com/4N8Gstw6
[07:02] <Jay2> cool!
[07:02] <Ego_Proctor> rww, thanks
[07:03] <Iraqi> jesse: is many txt how change place windows be first please?
[07:03] <psycho_oreos> Jay2, think I know where the problem is, you have both broadcom wireless chipset (built-in) using proprietary driver and you also have ralink device.. but the ralink device isn't working because you either did an update via backports or manual install of compat-wireless or something which causes lots of errors about the driver (in which this case being rt2x00 lib part of ralink open source driver)
[07:03] <_jesse_> Iraqi: pastebin the file and I'll change it for you
[07:04] <Jay2> :(
[07:04] <Jay2> but i uninstalled all the backports
[07:04] <psycho_oreos> Jay2, did you do anything like that?
[07:04] <psycho_oreos> ahh
[07:04] <Jay2> yes
[07:04] <psycho_oreos> I think the way to solve it is to try and do depmod -a
[07:04] <Iraqi> jesse: sorry, what you mean?
[07:04] <Jay2> because i was trying to make my broadcom to be detected as wlan
[07:04] <psycho_oreos> err sudo depmod -a
[07:04] <Ego_Proctor> ok so I am assuming from the context of the command I just entered wget is Web get...?  as opposed to apt-get
[07:04] <Jay2> and not eth1
[07:04] <foul_owl> what is the generic driver for xorg.conf? vga? svga?
[07:05] <psycho_oreos> Jay2, that won't happen, that's because its broadcom's native proprietary driver
[07:05] <_jesse_> Iraqi: copy the file here http://pastebin.com/
[07:05] <psycho_oreos> foul_owl, I think its vesa
[07:05] <foul_owl> thanks!!
[07:05] <Iraqi> jesse: ok ..wait
[07:05] <Jay2> meaning i cant make it to be wlan??? no matter what i do?
[07:05] <NeoCicak> hi all.. has anyone used vmware  on ubuntu before? I'm getting 'Could not connect ethernet0 to virtual device /dev/vmnet0'  :(  i use 'bridge' networking
[07:05] <psycho_oreos> Jay2, well no I lied, you can make it appear as wlanX via hacking udev but that won't make any difference
[07:06] <psycho_oreos> Jay2, what are you trying to achieve with having wl appear as wlanX anyway?
[07:06] <foul_owl> what is the comment symbol for xorg.conf
[07:06] <Jay2> psycho_oreos, conky wont display the ssid, signal strength
[07:06] <_jesse_> foul_owl: #
[07:06] <foul_owl> thanks
[07:07] <Ego_Proctor> if I do a sudo tar -xjvg <filename> and nothing is happening, has my machine command frozen or is it just not showing any output?
[07:07] <Jay2> that is for the broadcom builtin
[07:07] <psycho_oreos> Jay2, lol conky config can be changed for that matter, so you have two choices, to either hack udev or to modify conky config
[07:07] <Jay2> i see, but conky is my 2nd priority. my first is to make my usb wifi working
[07:07] <_jesse_> Ego_Proctor: it shoud show output with the -v option
[07:07] <psycho_oreos> yeah for that matter I'd try doing sudo depmod -a
[07:08] <Ego_Proctor> that is what I thought...
[07:08] <Ego_Proctor> hrm
[07:08] <_jesse_> Ego_Proctor: cntrl-c it and try again I suppose
[07:09] <razz1> are there any issues with the new nvidia drivers -v256.35

[07:13] <Iraqi> jesse: i posted it on your site gave me
[07:13] <sublimepua> that might be the issue. if you have 90% of the new cards u need to enable them

[07:14] <psycho_oreos> Jay2, not sure, lol compat-wireless is quite different from backports.. backports can be usually removed via aptitude purge for example
[07:14] <Grub-restore> ok
[07:14] <lint> coolstacy: i know how
[07:14] <coolstacy> lint: plz tell.
[07:14] <Iraqi> when power on my linux  show me error in PWF and PLL error is not found ? How fix it please?

[07:15] <Iraqi> how can support my linux to be "touch screen" " taple" ???
[07:15] <coolstacy> lint: all other games are working like alien arena.
[07:15] <albech> is there a way to get a list of ips currently going through iptables nat?
[07:15] <SlikerT> Jay2 an easy way to see all packages on your system is to go //var/cache/apt/archives
[07:16] <afed> does anyone here use linux
[07:16] <SlikerT> afed I do
[07:16] <psycho_oreos> Jay2, I know dpkg -l does :) or you can use aptitude search

[07:17] <lint> coolstacy: where are you from?
[07:17] <zoidfarb> afed, are you serious, or trolling?
[07:17] <albech> afed, stop trolling
[07:17] <coolstacy> lint: India.
[07:17] <afed> zoidfarb: would you expect a troll to admit trolling at this point?
[07:17] <afed> why even ask?
[07:17] <Jay2> no traces of backports or compat wireless
[07:18] <afed> i asked a question here a few hours ago
[07:18] <afed> will repeat now that i have attention
[07:18] <hjohnson_> hi
[07:18] <afed> i am confused about ubuntu 64 bit version not being recommended
[07:18] <afed> why isn't it recommended?  i'd rather use it if i could
[07:18] <Grub-restore> hello grub help plese anyone know
[07:18] <abhi_nav> afed, it is recomended i have it
[07:18] <_jesse_> Iraqi: make a copy of your current file (type 'sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.list /boot/grub/ment.list.bak' and then replace the contents of /boot/grub/menu.list with http://pastebin.com/tmJ14svy
[07:18] <Flannel> afed: Who told you it wasn't recommended?
[07:18] <afed> the front page of ubuntu's web site
[07:18] <zoidfarb> afed, there is some software that is not available for the 64 bit version, and other software that works, but is more of a hassle to set up
[07:18] <caleb__> use if you have 4gb+ ram
[07:18] <vaul1> Hello, people. How do I change the language in which short descriptions in the Ubuntu software center is displayed? My locale is in English, system interface language is English, but for some reason the text there is in Russian.
[07:18] <coolstacy> lint: r u there.
[07:18] <afed> http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download
[07:19] <zoidfarb> afed, so if you don't know what you're doing, you're better off with 32-bit
[07:19] <afed> 32-bit - Recommended for most users
[07:19] <afed> 64-bit - Not recommended for daily desktop usage
[07:19] <abhi_nav> afed, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit
[07:19] <lint> coolstacy: sorta, idont know anything
[07:19] <barfster> Is it safe to distupgrade from 6.06 LTS to 10.04?
[07:19] <Flannel> afed: That's a bug. The people Canonical had do the redesign of the website don't know what they're talking about.
[07:19] <psycho_oreos> Jay2, compat-wireless afaik wouldn't appear under dpkg or aptitude because the filename and the way you have to install compat-wireless is completely different and therefore does not depend on debian's package management system
[07:19] <coolstacy> abhi_nav: hi
[07:19] <zoidfarb> afed, the adobe flash plugin is an example of software that newbs will expect to "just work" but is not easily available on 64-bit (because Adobe doesn't really support it, as I understand)
[07:19] <abhi_nav> afed, What should I choose - 32 or 64 bit?
[07:19] <abhi_nav> Unless you have specific reasons to choose 32-bit, we recommend 64-bit.
[07:19] <abhi_nav> coolstacy, hi
[07:19] <barfster> flash is so 90s
[07:19] <Flannel> barfster: You'll have to upgrade from 6.06 to 8.04 and then from 8.04 to 10.04, but yes, those are safe.
[07:19] <coolstacy> i have a problem.
[07:19] <abhi_nav> afed, that is the sentence on second last para on that page
[07:20] <afed> ic
[07:20] <hjohnson_> @grubrestore you didn't say your problem
[07:20] <afed> Flannel: ic
[07:20] <gk__> does any one know how to install eclipse in ubuntu for php editing
[07:20] <afed> thx everyone
[07:20] <barfster> Flannel: is there a need for a how-to?
[07:20] <Jay2> so what's the best solution for now :((
[07:20] <razz1> which protocol should I use with brother printer: on their website they recommend:  lpd://(Your printer's IP address)/binary_p1, but it does not work, help?
[07:20] <Iraqi> jesse: you edit the menu.lst "http://pastebin.com/J4FKhmKi" then i copy/past code on my file
[07:20] <psycho_oreos> Jay2, did you try what I said before? sudo depmod -a
[07:20] <abhi_nav> coolstacy, what?
[07:20] <afed> so make them change the damn web site anyway
[07:20] <Flannel> barfster: This page links to upgrade notes (including howtos) for both of them (obviously, they're separate pages): https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[07:21] <zoidfarb> gk_ have you tried here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EclipseIDE
[07:21] <Flannel> barfster: Specifically https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes#From%207.10%20or%206.06%20LTS%20to%208.04%20LTS and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes#From%209.10%20or%208.04%20LTS%20to%2010.04%20LTS
[07:21] <Jay2> nope, not yet. lemme try

[07:21] <Iraqi> jesse: Thank you very much
[07:21] <kickingintender> whats the kick VirusTB
[07:21] <zoidfarb> gk_: try that. It looks like it's available in the repositories. There's also some info here: http://flurdy.com/docs/eclipse/install.html
[07:22] <barfster> I have a problem with Apache and MySQL queries
[07:22] <abhi_nav> afed, you can tell them. as you face the problem.
[07:22] <gk__> thanks zoidfarb
[07:22] <Jay2> what does depmod -a do?
[07:22] <Jay2> psycho_oreos, ive done the depmod -a
[07:23] <kickingintender> barfster: whats the deal with mysql queries
[07:23] <barfster> I have a problem with Apache and MySQL queries, running MySQL on command line is smooth as a breeze, querying MySQL through php and apache is brutaly slow.
[07:23] <itai_michaelson> hi, can anyone recommend a good HOWTO for sharing files between ubuntu and XP clients (using samba) ?
[07:23] <afed> goign to install 64bit
[07:23] <psycho_oreos> Jay2, try man depmod :)
[07:23] <barfster> Sound like a DNS problem, however DNS is good.
[07:23] <zoidfarb> Jay2, depmod loads kernel modules. I would assume that depmod -a loads all the  available ones?
[07:23] <VirusTB> kickingintender,  im a new to C progrmamming and need some assistance with this problem im doing online
[07:23] <kickingintender> i think u need performance tuning dude

[07:23] <Jay2> ohhh
[07:23] <abhi_nav> afed, Happy 64bitting :)
[07:23] <_jesse_> VirusTB: not really the right channel for such questions
[07:23] <kickingintender> virus whats the problemo
[07:23] <barfster> kickingintender: how to tweak it?
[07:24] <VirusTB> kickingintender,  its about function and arrays / strings :(
