[00:01] <|unjustice|> zero__: if you type lspci in terminal, your comp will tell you the audio device
[00:02] <|unjustice|> zero__: "standard" is not a type of audio card
[00:02] <pyrophelia> every once in awhile after my server (8.10) does a massive lan  transfer (100GB+), I lose all dns lookups on that box.  None of the other boxes on the network lose dns and I can still ping lan or ip address just fine.  Somehow dns blows up and I can't figure out why.  Static config with my ISPs dns configured in resolve.conf.  Any ideas?
[00:02] <zero__> i know, i mean the one you get with the comp :P
[00:02] <ldskf> could anyone tell me how to "render" a video file?
[00:02] <gogereaver> treats then sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

[00:03] <|unjustice|> that is the audio card
[00:03] <|unjustice|> okay
[00:03] <zero__> i know, i copied wrong
[00:03] <redvamp128> gogereaver:  I think doesn't he need to enable restricted in order to get the savage drivers?

[00:08] <gagica> hi
[00:08] <poseidon> anyone here use thunderbird with lightening?  it doesn't allow me to add an event to the calender.  it seems to be very non-fuctional (the lightening extension that is)
[00:08] <|unjustice|> zero__: that might work, but it is for Edgy...not Hardy, which I assume you are running
[00:09] <gagica> it it the fiorst time for me in ubuntu
[00:09] <gagica> so hello:D
[00:09] <|unjustice|> welcome
[00:09] <zero__> well, i will try then say if it works or not
[00:09] <Flannel> TheComrade: This channel is for support only.  If you're looking to discuss, please take it elsewhere (perhas #ubuntu-offtopic)
[00:09] <TheComrade> 1) Randomly focus changes do not work, necessitating a ctrl-alt-backspace.  Apps still run and accept input.
[00:09] <Onidemo>  http://pastebin.com/f63385451
[00:09] <gagica> it's woks
[00:09] <|unjustice|> zero__: also read a variety of reports that say restarting works
[00:09] <TheComrade> 2) The shitty old version of Skype available does not function with Pulseaudio.
[00:09] <gagica> but i am lost :D:))
[00:09] <gogereaver> TheComrade killall appname :)
[00:09] <exodus_ms> !ohmy | TheComrade

[00:10] <ldskf> thanks
[00:10] <TheComrade> It's not an app that is frozen; the whole desktop gets frozen.
[00:10] <gagica> for my pc
[00:10] <gagica> :D
[00:10] <|unjustice|> gagica: what hardware?
[00:10] <gagica> can everybody help me:((
[00:10] <zero__> unjustice, do i put that file, into the folder that it says?
[00:10] <TheComrade> 3) I have to constantly 'metacity --replace' and 'compiz --replace' to get video to be watchable without retarded amounts of shearing.
[00:10] <gagica> ati 9250
[00:10] <|unjustice|> zero__: ya, /etc/whatever
[00:11] <TheComrade> 4) At every login, a notification that I need to restart firefox appears so that updates can be applied.
[00:11] <gagica> a have gnome
[00:11] <zero__> ok brb then
[00:11] <gogereaver> TheComrade sounds like pc limitations
[00:11] <gagica> no one cand help me?
[00:11] <gagica> relay?
[00:11] <TheComrade> It's lame OS limitations caused by nerds who have no appreciation of aestethics.
[00:11] <Onidemo> kitche has deducted my problem is "this is your issue /dev/dri/card0 is not on your system" , can anyone tell me how to fix this?
[00:11] <exodus_ms> TheComrade: ff 3, there is a known bug for that issue, I have a workaround
[00:12] <|unjustice|> gagica: patience
[00:12] <gagica> ok:)
[00:12] <gogereaver> TheComrade turn off effects
[00:12] <gogereaver> lol
[00:12] <TheComrade> Yes, that *is* the solution, right.  If something doesn't work well, just turn it off.
[00:12] <TheComrade> Although, virtually everyone has this shearing problem.  Whoops.
[00:12] <Flannel> TheComrade: You're welcome to ask for support here, but please, keep it on topic.
[00:13] <exodus_ms> TheComrade: for ff restart issue try this    sudo killall -9 -r firefox
[00:13] <zero__> Well, i got anorther problem, i cant past it in that folder :S
[00:13] <gogereaver> TheComrade you need a pretty beffy system and card to not get sheering
[00:13] <gogereaver> TheComrade i had it untill i upgraded my ram
[00:13] <exodus_ms> TheComrade: sudo apt-get purge firefox firefox-3.0 ubufox
[00:13] <TheComrade> exodus_ms: the notification appears every time, after reboots and all.

[00:13] <wolter> kinja-sheep, did i ever asked you about your fingerprint reader?
[00:13] <gagica> ok
[00:13] <TheComrade> Ok, I will try that.
[00:13] <exodus_ms> TheComrade: yes, I know, follow those steps
[00:13] <gagica> good night
[00:13] <gagica> bye
[00:15] <Dexi> can someone help me create an alias that will cd to a dir and run an exec?
[00:15] <gogereaver> wolter i think only intel fingerprint readers work under linux
[00:15] <redvamp128> and now if gaca had hung around -- he could have had his question answered
[00:15] <TheComrade> Yeah, just buy a supported fingerprint reader.
[00:15] <Heliodor> What do i type in the terminal to see if there is an mysql process running?
[00:16] <zero__> unjustice: i cant copy the file to that directory, and it says about putting the line MODULES="sb uart401 sound soundcore maestro cs4281 snd-cs46xx into a file, and i cant says something about permission
[00:16] <Onidemo> kitche has deducted my problem is "this is your issue /dev/dri/card0 is not on your system" , can anyone tell me how to fix this?
[00:16] <wolter> gogereaver, oh, my works, but my question is completely other... I wanted to ask kinja-sheep if he used it, and if he did, if he had to press enter after each swipe, or if he had to enter a password for the nm-applet on every login
[00:16] <rww> Heliodor: ps -ah | grep mysql
[00:17] <exodus_ms> TheComrade: dude, whats up with the attitude, no one forced you to install Ubuntu
[00:17] <gogereaver> wolter oh wanna set it up to log you in
[00:17] <gogereaver> wolter i beleve that can be done
[00:17] <PC-Ente> hm
[00:17] <PC-Ente> can sombody confirm that the ubuntu soruces repos ar down ?
[00:18] <Heliodor> rww: bad ps syntax?
[00:18] <|unjustice|> zero__: you have to be root
[00:18] <exodus_ms> TheComrade: btw, did you get the 'restart required' notification fixed?
[00:18] <rww> Heliodor: sorry, change that to -AH
[00:18] <Lucifer|VB> Spanky_ just reboot
[00:18] <zero__> hmmm darn then, brb changing user
[00:18] <Onidemo> Help! kitche has deducted my problem is "this is your issue /dev/dri/card0 is not on your system" , can anyone tell me how to fix this?
[00:18] <TheComrade> I'm not running Ubuntu right now; I'll fix it later.
[00:18] <|unjustice|> zero__: type sudo before the copy command
[00:18] <gogereaver> exodus_ms hehe have him install slackware
[00:18] <|unjustice|> zero__: do it in terminal
[00:18] <Heliodor> rww: Okay, thanks. I find the process but i cant kill it, says no process terminated
[00:18] <TheComrade> I used to run slackware 10 years ago. :P
[00:19] <Heliodor> ah, mysqld!
[00:19] <Heliodor> explains it
[00:19] <mishkins\> script in mirc under wine... how do I describe the file location /home/mishkin/torrents/ ?? Z:\home\... Z:/home/... or just /home/mishkin/...
[00:19] <Spanky_> yes man
[00:19] <zero__> so unjustice, how do you mean? sudo MODULES="sb uart401 sound soundcore maestro cs4281 snd-cs46xx" or what? :S
[00:19] <Spanky_> lucifer
[00:19] <Heliodor> rww: thanks for all the help!!
[00:19] <rww> Heliodor: got it killed?
[00:19] <Spanky_> no problem
[00:19] <rww> Heliodor: you're welcome :)
[00:19] <Dexi> rww: is it possible to make an alias that consists of doing a cd and running a file?
[00:19] <Heliodor> Yes, its stone dead :)
[00:19] <Spanky_> you know the reboot does it all
[00:19] <Spanky_> as i said
[00:19] <gogereaver>  /home/mishkin/torrents/
[00:20] <Spanky_> like i came here for the rebooting, then the bootlogs went rebooting
[00:20] <gogereaver> if you wahnt the torrent location
[00:20] <Onidemo> help! kitche has deducted my problem is "this is your issue /dev/dri/card0 is not on your system" , can anyone tell me how to fix this?
[00:20] <rww> Dexi: Dunno, I haven't set up aliases in a while. I think you could do something like "cd /path/to/file; commandname", though. If that doesn't work, making a bash script would.
[00:20] <|unjustice|> zero__: in terminal, type sudo...then the command to copy the source to the destination /etc/whateverthenameis
[00:20] <Dexi> rww thanks
[00:20] <Jason2gs> Hi guys. Lately, my Xorg has been sporadically restarting, leaving the following message in my syslog: Jan 20 19:13:09 mycomputer2 gdm[11648]: WARNING: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0
[00:20] <TheComrade> Is there something I'm missing or do I really have to specify "United States" in Skype each and every time I want to make a call?
[00:20] <mishkins\> gogereaver: before I was describing as C:\torrents when that was where it was stored... so wine will know it's Z drive and you don't need to mention it??? cause I think it looks at it from a windows perspective like windows is the os
[00:20] <Jason2gs> I was hoping someone could give me a hand with it.
[00:21] <gogereaver> mishkins oh with wine you do
[00:21] <zero__> hmm, whats root password? :S
[00:21] <mishkins\> gogereaver: Z:/ or Z:\ ?

[00:22] <gogereaver> mishkins same as it looks in linux
[00:22] <Fred1448> Back... restarted the ran sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. didn't fix the problem :(
[00:22] <Spanky_> you will see the password hidden in the main screen
[00:22] <Heliodor> TheComrade: it enables me to run Photoshop with important plugin, something i cant do on OS X :-)
[00:22] <Onidemo> kitche has deducted my problem is "this is your issue /dev/dri/card0 is not on your system" , can anyone tell me how to fix this?
[00:23] <mishkins\> gogereaver: so forward slash then... I tryed backslash because someone told me it was that and it said can't create dirrectory... it was either the slash was wrong or the permission I tryed fixing both

[00:24] <mishkins\> that way people don't know how long your password is when loooking over shoulder
[00:24] <Onidemo> Ew wth, why did it say that O.o

[00:24] <FloodBot1> Spanky_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[00:24] <ratpoison> hello, 8.10 x86-64 user. I have an ati x1950 (r580). Is there any way (fglrx or radeonhd) that I can have hardware accelerated video output with compositing enabled? I HAVE tried the "no xv" option but performance is really sub par.
[00:24] <usser> Heliodor: no. the owner doesnt change simply because someone else edited a file
[00:24] <Spanky_> np bro :)
[00:25] <Heliodor> usser: Ah, thanks!! :D
[00:25] <rww> Dexi: yeah, put the alias in .bashrc, then close your current terminal and reopen it.
[00:25] <cereal|work> so any suggestions for a decent im program?  pidgin crashes ALL the time for me :(
[00:25] <rww> Dexi: you can do something like "source ~/.bashrc" too, I think
[00:25] <Spanky_> any people interested in help ??
[00:25] <Onidemo>  /dev/dri/card0 is not on my system , can anyone tell me where to get it? Please? I don't want to go back to Windows >.>
[00:25] <Lucifer|VB> cereal|work: try clean install
[00:25] <Dexi> rww: oh hah thanks thats much better than doing a full reboot
[00:25] <Spanky_> im a unix specialist
[00:25] <Spanky_> ...
[00:25] <Spanky_> :D
[00:25] <Spanky_> shoot me :D
[00:25] <Heliodor> Umm... i changed the skin in ubuntu, but all apps that run with root are unskinned... how do i fix that?
[00:25] <FloodBot1> Spanky_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:25] <usser> Heliodor: no problem
[00:26] <usser> Heliodor: you have to set the same skin for the root
[00:26] <Jason2gs> Guys, can someone tell me what this means in my syslog? It happens after my Xorg sporadically restarts. Jan 20 19:13:09 mycomputer2 gdm[11648]: WARNING: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0

[00:26] <Spanky_> Jason2gs: try a reboot
[00:26] <zero__> right?
[00:26] <Spanky_> trust me that will work
[00:26] <Lucifer|VB> ic3fr0g: try clea ninstall
[00:26] <Heliodor> usser: aah, of course!

[00:27] <Spanky_> Jason2gs: doesnt matter
[00:27] <Spanky_> it will not occure again
[00:27] <Spanky_> :)
[00:27] <|unjustice|> zero__: yup

[00:28] <Heliodor> Umm, there is no windows irc here, only windows 7 with 4 users.
[00:28] <Flannel> Heliodor: ##windows
[00:28] <ratpoison> Heliodor: you need to install the the themes on /usr/share/themes. Copy the files there (you need root privileges for that) Choose the theme from appearance after that
[00:28] <ic3fr0g> hello,,, i am playing a game named WoP = World Of Padman, and i dont know why but game its kinda crashing some way, when i playing normally the window of the game  is unmaximized, and dont accept commands like ALT+F10 , ALT+F9 , ALT+F5, im using Ubuntu Gnome, its any command that i can do to terminate the process or to fix it or something that i dont need to make REBOOT.?

[00:29] <Onidemo> Sigh. Looks like back to winXP =(.
[00:30] <chris78v> i need help installing a game called civilization 4. the game is awesome but i can not run directx,
[00:30] <Heliodor> Onidemo: why?
[00:30] <mishkins\> its set to use default color depth
[00:30] <msutton> Whats the aptitude package called that has the 32bit headers so I can run 32 bit apps on x86 64 ubuntu?
[00:30] <Dr_willis> Onidemo,  Dri is a feature of the video card drivers that gets enabled. If they properly support the 3d stuff.
[00:30] <Onidemo> Heliodor: No one seems to have an answer for how i can download DRI or something. Im stuck in Console, can't get to GUI
[00:30] <Lucifer|VB> Spanky|Reboot: hows rebooting
[00:30] <Spanky|Reboot> good good
[00:30] <Heliodor> Onidemo: DRI??
[00:30] <chris78v> i need help installing a game called civilization 4. the game is awesome but i can not run directx,
[00:30] <Onidemo> Dr_willis: Computer was working, after hibernation every time i reboot im stuck in console
[00:30] <Dr_willis> Onidemo,  You need to proerly setup the video card drivers.. and with some cards  that can be an annoyance.
[00:31] <Lucifer|VB> anyone need a REBOOT ?
[00:31] <rww> chris78v: According to http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=8788 it should work in WINE if you have 3D acceleration working in Ubuntu. See that page for details
[00:31] <Spanky|Reboot> Onidemo: try rebooting again please
[00:31] <Fred1448> Sorry, not to sound impatient, but am I 'in-line' or do I need to restate my issue?
[00:31] <Dr_willis> Onidemo,   one of the many reasons i never use Hibernation any more.
[00:31] <chris78v> i need help installing a game called civilization 4. the game is awesome but i can not run directx,
[00:31] <Dr_willis> !appdb | chris78v
[00:31] <Spanky|Reboot> chris78v: try a clean install with drivers on it
[00:31] <rww> mishkins\: There's an option in Terminal Server Client to change the default color depth. Look in Display > Colors on the window that appears when you open it.
[00:32] <wolter> how do i know the version of pam?
[00:32] <Spanky|Reboot> wolter: do a clean install and check
[00:32] <TheComrade> chris78v, you are much better off running the game under Windows rather than spend time trying to get it to run (buggy) on Linux.
[00:32] <Lucifer|VB> die gasten zijn echt maf ouwe
[00:32] <msutton> Whats the aptitude package called that has the 32bit headers so I can run 32 bit apps on x86 64 ubuntu?
[00:32] <Lucifer|VB> Spanky|Reboot
[00:32] <Spanky|Reboot> echt he hahahah
[00:32] <al_capone> !listen
[00:32] <Lucifer|VB> roboot tha place
[00:32] <al_capone> !codecs
[00:32] <wolter> Spanky|Reboot, what do you mean? i just want to know the version of my pam, Is there no command to do it?
[00:32] <Dr_willis> chris78v  You may wan tto try out the 'FreeCiv' and 'FreeCol' Games :) they are similer to that kind of game.
[00:32] <Flannel> wolter: He's just trolling.  Ignore him.
[00:32] <exodus_ms> TheComrade: dude, just leave man,
[00:33] <Onidemo> Can someone tell me how to reinstall the video card drivers for an "ATI Raedon 9600 pro turbo" ?
[00:33] <Onidemo> from console
[00:33] <zero__> unjustic, i finded a topic or something while googling, can it be that skype and flash plugin makes this?
[00:33] <_Vi_> why would he leave? Those kinds of trolls are paid by M$, they have no intentions on going anywhere exodus_ms ... I'm half joking.
[00:34] <wolter> Flannel, do you know the real answer?
[00:34] <TheComrade> I am only attempting to save ubuntu users some frustration.  I do it out of charity.
[00:34] <exodus_ms> TheComrade: your frustrated because your system is not working the way you want, so your angry and want to vent here, well don't, take it somewhere else please
[00:34] <Flannel> TheComrade: Again, You're welcome to ask questions and get support, but please, keep it on topic.  This is not the place for complaints.
[00:34] <mike12> hey does anyone know a command for terminal that is somthing like sudo apt-get -configure - a
[00:34] <Dr_willis> Onidemo,  with ati cards. normally they use the 'ati' or 'fglrx' drivers - ati is the included/open source driver that does not fully support all features.. but it should work for most all cards.  I dont have any ati cards any more. So im not sure what the 9600 needs.
[00:34] <TheComrade> exodus_ms, I actually have attempted to run Civ 4 under Linux.  And it's not worth the effort.
[00:34] <mike12> i forgot what it was
[00:34] <rww> mike12: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a
[00:34] <rww> mike12: that?
[00:35] <exodus_ms> TheComrade: again 'ot' there arre plenty of other channels to discuss these issues
[00:35] <ic3fr0g> hello,,, i am playing a game named WoP = World Of Padman, and i dont know why but game its kinda crashing some way, when i playing normally the window of the game  is unmaximized, and dont accept commands like ALT+F10 , ALT+F9 , ALT+F5, im using Ubuntu Gnome, its any command that i can do to terminate the process or to fix it or something that i dont need to make REBOOT.? Thanks.
[00:35] <rww> wolter: from command line or in GNOME?
[00:35] <Onidemo> Dr_willis: ok thank you,  Can anyone else tell me how to reinstall the video card drivers for an"ATI Raedon 9600 pro turbo" ?
[00:35] <mike12> will that fix my update manager
[00:35] <mike12> rww
[00:35] <Jason2gs> Guys, can someone tell me what this means in my syslog? It happens after my Xorg sporadically restarts. Jan 20 19:13:09 mycomputer2 gdm[11648]: WARNING: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0
[00:35] <TheComrade> exodus_ms, it's not OT, it's 'support'.  Blow me.
[00:35] <rww> mike12: You haven't said what's wrong with it, so I don't know.
[00:36] <exodus_ms> TheComrade: take a break man, come back when you have cooled off abit
[00:36] <Heliodor> Wooo... this is an annoyance indeed
[00:36] <mike12> it says that the package i installed on update has un met dependencies rww
[00:36] <TheComrade> Patience.
[00:36] <Dr_willis> Onidemo,  for starters you may want to just 'move' your  /etc/X11/xorg.conf  to a backup file.. with a cimmand like..   'sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf  /etc/X11/xorg.conf.BACKUP'  then restart the X server (or reboot)
[00:36] <Gerinych> i tried to to a complete removal on all grub2 packages but it nearly cleared out my grub.conf and still boots grub2 for some reason even though i installed grub-gfxboot
[00:36] <Heliodor> gnome-look-panel randomly crashes when installing themes and then i cant re-install them
[00:37] <msutton> Whats the aptitude package called that has the 32bit headers so I can run 32 bit apps on x86 64 ubuntu?
[00:37] <mike12> mike12
[00:37] <zero__> ok, i cant make it to work :(
[00:37] <rww> mike12: Open up a terminal and do "sudo apt-get update", then do "sudo apt-get upgrade", then copy the entire output from both commands to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and tell me the link to the created paste.
[00:37] <w3wsrmn> msutton: ia32-libs
[00:37] <mike12> rww how do i copy it to a link is it in one of the menus
[00:37] <msutton> Thank you w3wsrmn
[00:38] <Onidemo> Dr_Willis: ok that much is done, now i just need someone to help me reinstall the video card lol
[00:38] <|unjustice|> zero__: try google searching for open source drivers for your audio card
[00:38] <zero__> what was the command for checking the device?
[00:38] <Dr_willis> Onidemo,  you are thinking in windows terms.. by moving that file.. X will 'redetect' the video card. and MIGHT set it up properly...
[00:39] <|unjustice|> zero__: lspci
[00:39] <rww> mike12: Run the two commands.  Do Edit > Select All, Edit > Copy. Open http://paste.ubuntu.com/ in your web browser. Click inside the "Content" box and do Edit > Paste.
[00:39] <|unjustice|> zero__: you can also type history and get all of the previous 100 commands
[00:39] <mike12> i cant open my web browser though
[00:39] <zero__> aha thanks
[00:39] <Gerinych> can someone help me reinstall grub bootloader
[00:39] <|unjustice|> zero__: also, the up arrow will automatically prompt the previous command if you want to run it

[00:47] <Flannel> Tetracomm: thinkfinger is what handles it.  I believe the package is libpam-thinkfinger
[00:47] <Tetracomm> Thank you.
[00:48] <Rencx> what can be the problem?
[00:48] <deadowl> chris78v, open up terminal under applications->accessories and type into the shell: sudo apt-get install wine
[00:48] <deadowl> anyone know where the visual system beep option is?
[00:48] <ortsvorsteher> Rencx: did you set the right language for your system?
[00:48] <Robbie_Crash> Is there a way to pause cron from running jobs?
[00:49] <Tetracomm> Flannel: I am seeing that Thinkfinger is for a particular scanner?
[00:49] <deadowl> Robbie_Crash, not being on that user, or setting cron not to be on. I don't know if killing cron might work... probably wouldn't be the best idea.
[00:49] <Heliodor> ooo... xampp have a backup feature now, nice
[00:49] <Rencx> ortsvorsteher: system i want use in English
[00:49] <sieken> no volume boost?
[00:49] <Flannel> Tetracomm: It's for a few different types, not just one.  But I'm not up-to-date on the specifics.
[00:50] <ortsvorsteher> Rencx: which language is the second you need to set?
[00:50] <Tetracomm> Ok.
[00:50] <Rencx> ortsvorsteher: can i chage like regional setings like on WIndows second is Latvian
[00:50] <Robbie_Crash> deadowl it's a root cron job, so it will automatically run, I just want all cron jobs that are supposed to run tonight to not run

[00:57] <Robbie_Crash> PC_Nerd what do you mean, unmount partitions higher than five when nothing is mounted?

[01:02] <Robbie_Crash> How can I make all cron jobs sleep for 24 hours?
[01:03] <Dr_willis> Robbie_Crash,  you could just stop the cron service  manually for a day :) and restart it later
[01:03] <jsurfer> ortsvorsteher, ubottu: I have installed ubuntu 8.10 64bits alternative cd and I can't get connected through the wireless
[01:03] <jsurfer> all previous versions have worked perfectly
[01:03] <Robbie_Crash> Dr_willis I'll forget :( and I can't set up a cron job to restart it... Woe is me... I guess that's the best option
[01:03] <ortsvorsteher> jsurfer: ubottu is a bot. just feel free to ask the channel :)
[01:03] <jsurfer> the wireless connection process starts
[01:04] <ortsvorsteher> !enter | jsurfer
[01:04] <jsurfer> sorry
[01:04] <Dr_willis> Robbie_Crash,  write a little script that will restart it in 24 hrs. :)
[01:04] <_Vi_> Robbie_Crash: there is a GUI for cron, not very many people know about, gnome-schedule
[01:04] <deadowl> redvamp128, it aint there
[01:04] <jsurfer> ortsvorsteher, I just can't get the wireless connection to finish the connection process
[01:04] <n8tuser> Robbie_Crash -> and you can disable cron via  /etc/init.d/cron stop
[01:04] <jsurfer> I have googled for similar problems with my wireless device
[01:04] <jsurfer> 02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61)
[01:04] <ortsvorsteher> jsurfer: just feel free to talk to the channel. which interface you use fore wireless? did you searched the blacklist at first?
[01:05] <KenBW2> what's the thinking behind disabling Ctrl+alt+Backspace in jaunty?
[01:05] <jsurfer> I dont know about the blacklist
[01:05] <ortsvorsteher> !blacklist | jsurfer
[01:05] <jsurfer> ortsvorsteher: i've seen a lot of people with problems with the same device

[01:05] <_Vi_> that kinda of "thinking" is what forces me to not upgrade and to stick with LTS release's
hey the comand you had me do
[01:06] <ortsvorsteher> jsurfer: which device is it? does it have a name? ;)
[01:06] <_Vi_> new != always = better
[01:06] <_Vi_> uriel_: ?
 it screwed everything up
[01:06] <_Vi_> what did?
 i cant even use the add features function
[01:06] <ratpoison> Hello! anybody know what this http://pastebin.com/m69cc4e49 is? 8.10 amd64 user. Symptoms are: system doesn't shut down properly, nautilus crashes and won't launch and dvds won't mount
[01:06] <jsurfer> ortsvorsteher: it's a Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61)
[01:06] <_Vi_> uriel_: are you using sudo before installing things?
[01:07] <jsurfer> I've googled and a lot of people has reported problems with this same version
[01:07] <uriel_> yes
 yes
[01:07] <_Vi_> uriel_: can you pastebin the errors?
[01:07] <Robbie_Crash> If I pipe a sudo command through sleep, and have just issued the sudo command, will it execute with sudo priviledges if the sudo timeout has expired?
 i just copied ur comands into the terminal
[01:07] <deadowl> it's in sound preferences, it's just more hidden than before
[01:07] <ortsvorsteher> !blacklist | jsurfer
 im prety new to linux so isk what that is
[01:07] <geeksquad> clear
[01:08] <_Vi_> uriel_: 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-drivers' would not screw everything up...dont use the quote marks
[01:08] <jsurfer> my wiereless problem is that it tries to connect to the wireless network I choose, I get the 2 green balls and it just fails to connect
[01:08] <geeksquad> can wine run the ms zune programs
 that much i do know
[01:08] <ortsvorsteher> jsurfer: i am not familiar with wireless devices. please take a look at the web, google the device or search in ubuntu forums, may there you find at first a solution for your problem
[01:08] <_Vi_> !winedb
[01:09] <_Vi_> oh gee
 i deleted them before i hit enter
[01:09] <MK13> how do you remove files from apt-get (the ones that let you re-install w/out having to re-download?
[01:09] <jsurfer> ortsvorsteher: I would add the wireless to the blacklist if that's the case?
[01:09] <jsurfer> i mean, the module?
[01:09] <_Vi_> !wine | geeksquad
[01:09] <geeksquad> !AppDB
[01:09] <_Vi_> well uriel_ I would need a pastebin of your errors, but saying everything is screwed up will not help you
[01:09] <ortsvorsteher> jsurfer: at first take a look, may it is in the blacklist. if not, look in whitelist for your device. after that search the web for a solution :)
 ok well ima restart see if that solves anythin
[01:10] <jsurfer> what's the whitelist?
[01:10] <_Vi_> uriel_: probably not necessary...thats a windows concept, but ok
[01:10] <jsurfer> ortsvorsteher:what's the whitelist? i hanve't heard about it
[01:10] <ortsvorsteher> jsurfer: in whitelist you find devices which will work in ubuntu
[01:10] <Xacarith> has any one had any luck setting up multi button laser mice in linux, in particular a logitech mx400?
[01:10] <jsurfer> I will try them both
[01:10] <ortsvorsteher> yes
[01:10] <jsurfer> ortsvorsteher: cool... thaks a lot
[01:11] <ratpoison> Hello! anybody know what this http://pastebin.com/m69cc4e49 is? 8.10 amd64 user. Symptoms are: system doesn't shut down properly, nautilus crashes and won't launch and dvds won't mount (the pastebin is the output of dmesg | tail) also, on launchpad https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/276088
[01:11] <ortsvorsteher> jsurfer: youre welcome :)
[01:11] <KenBW2> anyone else having problems accessing ubuntu+1?
[01:11] <Gerinych> i tried reinstalling grub using super grub disk, but now i get error 21 when i try to boot grub
[01:11] <letalis> is there a way to find out the MAC address on an ethernet card in ubuntu?
[01:11] <serengeti> Hi, is it possible to disable apt-xapian-index? I have installed intrepid on an old PIII laptop with only 384 mb of ram... when the update manager gets a new package list, the indexer eats up about 60 megs and the system becomes almost unusable (LOTS of thrashing)
[01:12] <IndyGunFreak> Gerinych: why don't you just use a live cd to reinstlal grub?
[01:12] <jslootbeek> letalis: ifconfig ethX where X is the number of your ethernet card
[01:12] <Gerinych> indygunfreak: i don't know how
[01:12] <IndyGunFreak> Gerinych: hang on.
[01:12] <letalis> cool ty
[01:13] <Spawn> i cant get ubuntu to live boot into x in my other computer its using a ati card
[01:13] <jslootbeek> letalis: look for the HWaddr
[01:13] <Spawn> ?
[01:13] <DaveW> hey, i have a problem described here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1043754&highlight=gui%2Fdisplay but not getting any responses, can someone help me with it?
[01:13] <Absolute1> Will a fresh installation of 8.10 be any different than an upgrade from an 8.4 installation?
[01:13] <IndyGunFreak> Gerinych: follow the "quick start" instructions..  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RestoreGrub
[01:13] <cweigle> Does anyone know of a map editor for OpenArena that runs on linux?
[01:13] <letalis> yeah i thought there had to be a way to do it, ive even used that before but i havent done it in so long that i forgot about it LOL
[01:13] <jslootbeek> Absolute1: no, other than you losing your personal data
 hi can i save my data when i make new install?
[01:14] <Absolute1> jslootbeek: Why would personal data be lost?
[01:14] <PC_Nerd> how do I make sure that ALL devices are unmountedd, because gparted gives the error: "Please unmount any logical partitions having a number higher than 5"      I dont beleive I have any filesystems mounted, thanks.
[01:14] <IndyGunFreak> PC_Nerd: are you doing this from a live CD?
[01:14] <Gerinych> indygunfreak: if i boot ubuntu from a live cd, does the system recognize the cd as a hard drive?
[01:14] <jslootbeek> Absolute1: if you do a fresh install, it will generally format your harddrive, if you don't do that it's not really a "fresh" install, so it would be an upgrade
[01:14] <PC_Nerd> sort of - live USB
[01:15] <IndyGunFreak> Gerinych: no, just follow the instructions
[01:15] <rdw200169> Absolute1: not really, though it generally makes for a cleaner system to do a fresh install.  one point, though.  either mount your /home on a separate partition, or back it up before you start fresh, if that's what you decidee
[01:15] <jslootbeek> Absolute1: unless your personal data is on external storage, ofcourse
[01:15] <Absolute1> jslootbeek: sorry didn't understand what you meant. :)
[01:15] <PC_Nerd> Im attempting to wipe everything except sda1 and sda7, move sda7 to sda2 and reallocate the remaining 60gb to ubuntu.
[01:15] <PC_Nerd> * on a fresh ubuntu install
[01:15] <jslootbeek> Absolute1: no worries
[01:15] <rdw200169> Absolute1: because your /home stores just about 99% of the wacky GUI configurations you've made, among other user-specific things
[01:15] <IndyGunFreak> PC_Nerd: depending on the size of those partitions, that will take an enormous amount of time
[01:16] <rdw200169> Absolute1: i've had the same /home for 3 years without a problem, across every upgrade, or fresh install
[01:16] <PC_Nerd> IndyGunFreak: time isnt the issue, the "Please unmount any logical partitions having a number higher than 5" is the main issue.
[01:16] <Gerinych> indygunfreak: well then i'm getting stuck on the find /boot/grub/stage1 part, i got 2 results and i don't know which one to use
[01:16] <Absolute1> I just installed a 8.4 installation, i didnt have the 810
[01:16] <rdw200169> Absolute1: it always remembers my panel setup correctly for example
[01:16] <Absolute1> and now i am upgrading
[01:16] <IndyGunFreak> Gerinych: what are the results?
[01:16] <Absolute1> rdw200169: well all that is in your .gnome dir
[01:16] <jslootbeek> Absolute1: if you havn't really done anything, an upgrade shouldn't hurt.
[01:16] <Gerinych> indygunfreak: (hd1,0), (hd2,0)
[01:16] <wolter> samba is not finding some windows xp machines on my network... what should i do?
[01:16] <Absolute1> that will stay the same on any distro as well
[01:16] <PC_Nerd> I need to make sure that the data from sda1 and sda7 arent deleted, but i have backups in case.
[01:17] <rdw200169> Absolute1: yeah, but the other . directories do stuff too, like .gconf
[01:17] <IndyGunFreak> Gerinych: you have two hard drives, correct?
[01:17] <wolter> they can find each other, but i can't find them from my ubuntu machine
[01:17] <jslootbeek> Absolute1: chances are, if you've made lots of customizations, upgrades will probably break something
[01:17] <Absolute1> upgrade takse 40 minutes :(
[01:17] <Gerinych> indygunfreak: yes
[01:17] <Absolute1> install takes 10
[01:17] <Absolute1> :)
[01:17] <rdw200169> Absolute1: for example, .mozilla is a definite keeper ;)
[01:17] <kenalex> i need some advice on which system is best to use ubunut to run database server for development purpoese and virtualise windows OS (XP and windows 2003). 1) system with athlon x2 6400 ,4GB PC 5300 RAM ,Geforce 8600 GT or Intel Core2 7200 (2.53GHZ) 8GB PC6400 Ram ,radeon 3850
[01:17] <IndyGunFreak> Gerinych: which one is set to boot first?.. hd1 or 2?
[01:17] <rdw200169> Absolute1: I would not be happy if i didn't have my 3000 bookmarks ;)
[01:17] <Rudd-O> hello there, a GUI program to convert AVI MJPEG to AVI DIVX ?
[01:18] <KenBW2> rdw200169: Opera Link is your friend
[01:18] <MK13> how do you delete the files left after removing an application via apt-get (the ones that allow you to reinstall w/out re-downloading?)
[01:18] <Abed> guys i have a quick question, when i was using fedora and its terminal when i run a command for example ls -l and when i select a certain line , i could drag and drop it but not anymore on ubuntu's so can i anyone help
[01:18] <jslootbeek> kenalex: IMO Intel has better virtualization support if you're planning on using KVM. I havn't done much AMD work, though, so my opinion might be moot.
[01:18] <PC_Nerd> I just ran "sudo umount /dev/sda*" and all partitions are not mounted, however it still says that partitions higher than 5 are mounted.
[01:18] <Rudd-O> MK13: aptitude clean I think
[01:18] <rdw200169> KenBW2: ah, but i don't like Opera
[01:18] <MK13> kk, thnx
[01:19] <Gerinych> indygunfreak: not even sure, when i got the error, i used "setup (hd0)" command
[01:19] <KenBW2> rdw200169: terrible
[01:19] <rdw200169> KenBW2: i've tried it, so don't hate!
[01:19] <rdw200169> KenBW2: i like firefox more
[01:19] <IndyGunFreak> Gerinych: which obviously isn't right.. i'd try hd1
[01:19] <KenBW2> rdw200169: what's to not like?
[01:19] <_Vi_> operas nice just not enough extensions like firefox :)
[01:19] <cweigle> Does anyone know of a map editor for OpenArena that runs on linux?
[01:20] <KenBW2> rdw200169: although i dont like its closed source-ness
[01:20] <PC_Nerd> *** It appears that swap space was "mounted" so i had to remove it to remove "lower" partitions
[01:20] <rdw200169> KenBW2: this is a debate that has no end, so let's stop
[01:20] <KenBW2> rdw200169: good plan
[01:20] <linux> hey this is the ubuntu irc chat right?
[01:20] <Flannel> linux: This is the Ubuntu support channel, yes.  Chat is in #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:20] <_Vi_> !welcome | linux
[01:21] <linux> thank you
[01:21] <linux> hey i got a few questions
[01:21] <KenBW2> linux: speak and they shall be answered (maybe)
[01:21] <linux> ok
[01:21] <cweigle> I guess not
[01:22] <linux> well first what can i program in ubuntu and with what programs can i do it with
[01:22] <linux> i know c++ and lua programing for the psp
[01:22] <rdw200169> linux, you mean what programming languages are available?
[01:22] <THE_THUNDER_LORD> woah o.O
[01:22] <linux> yes
[01:22] <Flannel> linux: Of course you can.  There's a few IDEs available, and you can also use regular text editors, etc.
[01:22] <Gerinych> indygunfreak: so where would i get the source for installing grub?
[01:22] <rdw200169> linux, pretty much everything, from assembly to python, to qt, to c, to mono
[01:22] <ratpoison> Hello! anybody know what this http://pastebin.com/m69cc4e49 is? 8.10 amd64 user. Symptoms are: system doesn't shut down properly, nautilus crashes and won't launch and dvds won't mount (the pastebin is the output of dmesg | tail) also, on launchpad https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/276088
[01:22] <linux> ok explain IDE more info about them
[01:23] <IndyGunFreak> Gerinych: you don't need the source, you need to follow the instructions on the link i gave you
[01:23] <rdw200169> linux, you really gotta dig to find one that *isn't* supported
[01:23] <_Vi_> VI :) with plugins :)
[01:23] <rdw200169> linux, heck you can even do java
[01:23] <jslootbeek> ratpoison: initial glance looks like a harddisk problem
[01:23] <THE_THUNDER_LORD> hey does anyone use Gnucleus here???
[01:23] <linux> ok well can i use Kdevelop to make psp games?
[01:23] <linux> java FTW lol
[01:23] <jslootbeek> ratpoison: or even your IDE link
[01:23] <DaveW> anyone know a solution to this problem? eek> Absolute1: if you do a fresh install, it will generally format your harddrive, if you don't do that it's not really a "fresh" install, so it would be an upgrade
[01:23] <rdw200169> linux, well, i don't know anything about lua, but a quick google search should solve your problem
[01:24] <THE_THUNDER_LORD> hey does anyone use Gnucleus here???
[01:24] <ratpoison> jslootbeek: IDE? but... it's SATA
[01:24] <jslootbeek> ratpoison: that's what i meant
[01:24] <jslootbeek> ratpoison: sorry it's late...i should learn to read..:)
[01:24] <rdw200169> linux, keep in mind that linux, and unix, have some of the best *free* programming IDE's on earth
[01:24] <jslootbeek> ratpoison: have you tried a different CD/DVD drive?
[01:24] <Gerinych> indygunfreak: yeah, but when you use the root command, you set the source of stage1 file and everything else related to that, right?
[01:25] <linux> ok well what about psptoolchain thats the hardest thing to install without getting hella errors
[01:25] <ratpoison> jslootbeek: I don't have one available. But it seems unlikely that both DVD drives will fail, no?
[01:25] <MK13> who here was asking about openarena?
[01:25] <rdw200169> linux, sorry, i know *nothing* about that!
[01:25] <IndyGunFreak> Gerinych: i really have no idea what you're talking about needign the source code for grub, i've used the live cd to reinstall grub many times w/ those instructions w/ no problem.. thats all i can tell you'
[01:25] <jslootbeek> ratpoison: yeah, if it's both do you have motherboard diagnostics available?
[01:26] <linux> rdw200169 its cool
[01:26] <Gerinych> indygunfreak: no, not the source code, the source of files used to boot grub
[01:26] <_Vi_> anyone seen Onetinsoldier? he hasnt been around in like a month
[01:26] <IndyGunFreak> Gerinych: if you're not gonna follow the instructions, then i can't help you
[01:26] <_Vi_> sorry that was OT
[01:26] <jslootbeek> ratpoison: when did you start noticing the problem? after a kernel update, or just out of the blue?
[01:26] <rdw200169> linux forgive me, but that is one darn *obscure* request, not many people out there programming for the PSP out there in the open source community ;)
[01:27] <cappicard> anyone else getting "unable to enumerate usb device" in 2.6.28 with no keyboard response? I'm at my wit's end
[01:27] <ratpoison> jslootbeek: I think it was right there from the start I just reproduced it and pinpointed it only recently
[01:27] <rdw200169> linux, that I know of anyway, now if you want to know about Python, or C, or something more mainstream, much more help can be found!
[01:27] <linux> rdw200169 yea but what all could i do with IDE's
[01:27] <ctlabs> linux:  google psptoolchain & ubuntu -- tons of help, like   http://forums.maxconsole.net/archive/index.php/t-69699.html
[01:27] <ratpoison> jslootbeek: the start = fresh install
[01:27] <Abed>  guys i have a quick question, when i was using fedora and its terminal when i run a command for example ls -l and when i select a certain line , i could drag and drop it but not anymore on ubuntu's so can i anyone help
[01:27] <Gerinych> indygunfreak: i'm kind of trying to follow the instructions, but the "find" command returns 2 results and i dont know which one to use
[01:28] <jslootbeek> ratpoison: hmm, tough to troubleshoot over IRC, i unfortunately don't have SATA optical drives myself
[01:28] <rdw200169> linux, that's a pandora's box, there are more options than I can care to list, but the biggest ones off the top of my head are eclipse, emacs, and the venerable Vim
[01:28] <IndyGunFreak> Gerinych: and i told you, try hd1, and if that doesnt work, try the other one
[01:28] <linux> ctlabs man im not gonna try psptoolcain theres like a 80% chance of getting an error and a 20% cance of success
[01:28] <GoneWestCoast> Abed: I don't believe Ubuntu's implemented that version of terminal yet.
[01:28] <linux> *chance
[01:28] <Gerinych> indygunfreak: oh, i thought you said try hd1 in the "setup" command
[01:28] <_Vi_> drag and drop text? O.o new one on me sounds cool though
[01:29] <Abed> GoneWestCoast mmm damn it thnx though
[01:29] <Abed> :D
[01:29] <ratpoison> jslootbeek: ok, thnx for the effort, though
[01:29] <ari_stress> what, GoneWestCoast is here? :)
[01:29] <jslootbeek> ratpoison: have you tried installing 2.6.27-9-generic fromm intrepid-updates?
[01:29] <rdw200169> linux I use Vim, then again, i like the dark utilitarian nature of a good text editor with all the features you could possibly want available from the keyboard as opposed to drop down menus and the like
[01:29] <GoneWestCoast> ari_stress: Oh, I'm lots of places. :-p
[01:29] <ratpoison> jslootbeek:  updates / backports are enabled
[01:30] <ctlabs> linux: besides kdevelop you can use Eclipse, which supports java, python, c/c++ etc
[01:30] <linux> rdw200169 ok what language do you program in?
[01:30] <ratpoison> 2.6.27-11-generic is my uname -r output
[01:30] <rdw200169> linux I prefer Python
[01:30] <jslootbeek> ratpoison: ok, i would take it to the #ubuntu-kernel channel
[01:30] <ratpoison> ok, thnx
[01:30] <rdw200169> linux then again, i don't do a lot of programming, mostly a lot of high-level scripting which Python is best suited for
[01:30] <jslootbeek> ratpoison: better chance at catching an expert than this channel
[01:30] <bombshelter13> Does anyone know how I can check the expiry date of a GPG key? I have it both imported and in a file.
[01:31] <linux> rdw200169 nice nice well im a hacker(good side hacker) and a programmer
[01:31] <DefunctProcess> is it essential to have a swap partition?  can I remove my swap and resize my main partition into the free space safely?
[01:31] <linux> rdw200169 ok well when ur done codding what do u do with the files its not like Visual basic on windows
[01:31] <Shayle> guys plz i have a problem, i cant join a channel cuz of a "é", how can i do??
[01:31] <ratpoison> I also tried the #hal channel, since it looks like a hal problem, but it's been dead for a while
[01:31] <temppy> DefunctProcess: do you have more than 1g ram?
[01:31] <xubuser> Hello People.
[01:31] <GoneWestCoast> Shayle: Ask in #freenode
[01:31] <rdw200169> linux Python is also used to create many of the applications used on the Ubuntu Desktop; it's a powerful language with many libraries and compatibility across the board, i.e. windows, mac, and linux, when done right
[01:31] <cdsboy> is this a good place to get help with the fglrx driver under ubuntu?
[01:31] <DefunctProcess> temppy, 2GB...
[01:32] <IndyGunFreak> DefunctProcess: the installer tends to piss and moan if you don't have a swap, but most modern systems don't really need it.
[01:32] <kdub> is there a network manager like the system tray applet that doesnt require a system tray to run?
[01:32] <xubuser> how to determine what drive my wifi card is using.
[01:32] <temppy> DefunctProcess: I run on 2g without swap, never had a problem.  In fact, when I did have swap, linux _never_ _ever_ used it
[01:32] <linux> rdw200169 well i prefer c++ very useful and can code alot in it
[01:32] <MK13> xubuser: iwlist
[01:32] <DefunctProcess> temppy, thank you.
[01:32] <xubuser> MK13: ok iwlist shows what driver is used?
[01:33] <MK13> xubuser: iwconfig, mb
[01:33] <rdw200169> linux, you just run them, Python creates binaries, but they're more for quicker code execution; for example, Civilization IV uses Python for a lot of the UI and AI elements to allow users more MOD capabilities since the files don't get compiled and turned into binary garbage
[01:33] <vax_> Hey everyone :)
[01:33] <MK13> one sec.
[01:33] <IndyGunFreak> xubuser: what wifi device are you trying to get working?
[01:33] <kdub> anyway you cut it, C is faster than python though
[01:33] <linux> rdw200169 i thought ubuntu cant execute files like that .exe ect ect
[01:33] <Shayle> they dont answer GoneWestCoast  :<
[01:34] <xubuser> IndyGunFreak: I have a wifi card that is working. I want to see what drive it uses. Then when I boot in slax, I'd like to try to modprobe the same driver and see if wifi works.
[01:34] <cdsboy> linux: you can with wine
[01:34] <VaxNam> Hey everyone, Wondering how to remove something from the startup menu. Everytime I start Ubuntu the Install menu shows up, but I allready have the OS Installed. I installed Easy Peasy distro for ubuntu. Anyone have Ideas?
[01:34] <Onidemo> 2nd time lucky maybe, can anyone tell me how to reinstall an ATI card from the Console?
[01:34] <linux> cdsboy i dont really preffer wine
[01:34] <IndyGunFreak> linux: well i can, but its success varies, .. wine is a free try
[01:34] <xubuser> MK13: I don't see the driver by iwconfig. Just the different interfaces....
[01:34] <IndyGunFreak> xubuser: i see
[01:34] <kdub> linux has so many native apps you rarely need wine
[01:34] <linux> true
[01:35] <kdub> ive only used wine for some EE CAD and a game here or there
[01:35] <xubuser> IndyGunFreak: so any idea how to determine which one is being used?
[01:35] <Onidemo> Need someone to tell me what console command can reinstall a graphics card!
[01:35] <VaxNam> Hmm, any help?
[01:35] <IndyGunFreak> xubuser: not that i know of, what wifi device is it?
[01:35] <jslootbeek> Onidemo: what do you mean "reinstall"?
[01:36] <vigo> VaxNam: Startup stuff?
[01:36] <cdsboy> is there a way to force a resolution using the fglrx driver? I need 1366x768 or 1280x720 resolution for the external monitor on my laptop but those options aren't showing up
[01:36] <MK13> xubuser: have you tried 'lshw -C network' ?
[01:36] <marcello> ortsvorsteher: I just reinstalled wpa_supplicant package and it all worked
[01:36] <Onidemo> jslootbeek: I was told in order to get back intot he GUI , i need to reinstall my ATI Radeon card
[01:36] <BCampbell> farf, hey the reinstall work?
[01:36] <xubuser> IndyGunFreak: 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8185 IEEE 802.1
[01:36] <VaxNam> Vigo: Indeed, but I tried going to session and I did not see a "Install" application there.
[01:36] <jslootbeek> Onidemo: i assume you mean the kernel module is not loaded, if you do 'lsmod' do you see a line that starts with "radeon"?
[01:36] <linux> rdw200169 the IDE is called eclipse right?
[01:36] <rdw200169> linux, well i was only giving an example, Python is OS independent, so you can use it in windows or linux
[01:37] <IndyGunFreak> xubuser: why not just google instructions to get that device working w/ slax?
[01:37] <linux> rdw200169 ok hey thanks for the help :)
[01:37] <xubuser> IndyGunFreak: well, it started with being a quick copy driver thing. But now the google approach might be better. :)
[01:37] <MK13> anyone know of working dialup modems for ubuntu?
[01:37] <VaxNam> vigo: Any Ideas?
[01:37] <vigo> VaxNam: There is a GUI in System> Admin that is a clicky to stop or start programs on boot
[01:37] <VaxNam> Or anyone for that matter
[01:37] <_Vi_> !dialup
[01:37] <Flannel> !bum | vigo
[01:38] <rdw200169> linux on a side note, with the 1.0 wine release, it's dang near *fantastic*
[01:38] <rdw200169> linux, sure eclipse, if you like the classic form of an IDE
[01:38] <VaxNam> Vigo: Ok Hold on let me try that. Thanks
[01:38] <vigo> Thank you
[01:38] <linux> rdw200169 ok thanks
[01:38] <rdw200169> linux, but take a shot and try VIM for programming, it's a steep learning curve but many swear it's the best out there
[01:39] <_Vi_> it is
[01:39] <vigo> VaxNam: it worked for me and was easy.
[01:39] <VaxNam> vigo: I'm using a Easy Peasy
[01:39] <linux> rdw200169 ok um do were do i find this out
[01:39] <rdw200169> linux, vim.org of course
[01:39] <grkblood13> is there anyways to install itunes?
[01:39] <grkblood13> other than wine
[01:39] <THE_THUNDER_LORD> ><
[01:39] <linux> rdw200169 of course lol brb

[01:39] <THE_THUNDER_LORD> anyone use Gnucleus???
[01:39] <linux> rdw200169 thanks again
[01:39] <kdub> grkblood13: you dont need it. try amarok. or banshee
[01:39] <xubuser> one other thing is the update acpi-support fails to install.... should one just remove it?
[01:39] <samuel> linux: you could also try emacs ;)
[01:39] <grkblood13> is there a program that can access the itunes store?
[01:40] <VaxNam> vigo: I don't have an option like that, but I tried Session > Startup and it wasn't there.
[01:40] <grkblood13> can banshee access the store?
[01:40] <IndyGunFreak> grkblood13: not that i know of.....
[01:40] <vigo> VaxNam: whoops,, look at what Flannel popped on
[01:40] <linux> samuel well for now im going to try eclipse and vim but thanks anyways
[01:40] <kdub> i dont think so. boycott drm though grkblood13
[01:40] <kdub> :D
[01:40] <rdw200169> grkblood13: i Think Songbird is working on it.  I'm not sure.
[01:40] <grkblood13> well, i dont wanna buy anything i want the free podcasts
[01:40] <VaxNam> Vigo: What?
[01:40] <vigo> !bum | VaxNam
[01:40] <samuel> linux: no problem
[01:41] <grkblood13> a linux user and drm dont really seem to mess rdw200169
[01:41] <grkblood13> mesh*
[01:41] <xubuser> any idea?
[01:41] <rdw200169> grkblood13: yeah, doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me
[01:42] <MK13> too much trouble to get dialup working, and it's not worth it
[01:42] <uatec> Greetings
[01:42] <grkblood13> does any1 know if songbird has access to the podcasts?
[01:42] <xubuser> now works.
[01:42] <rdw200169> grkblood13: you're gonna have to check their website on that one!
[01:42] <grkblood13> will do
[01:43] <uatec> I just installed 8.10 on my laptop. The sound card work, but for some reason the headphones socket doesn't.
[01:44] <MK13> uatec: what brand laptop?
[01:44] <uatec> it's an MSI, the soundcard is realtek, i'm looking for the exact model, but i haven't found it yet
[01:44] <kdub> uatec: make sure that the headphone switch is not muted. check alsamixer or the volume control
[01:44] <VaxNam> Vigo: Thanks, I'm installing bum now to see if it works
[01:44] <grkblood13> i foudn a prog with access to itunes! or so the article says
[01:45] <grkblood13> PyMusique
[01:45] <grkblood13> im about to grad it
[01:45] <tinnid> Anyone know why my volume control settings keep reverting back as soon as I close the window or change audio source?
[01:45] <vigo> VaxNam: okee dokee,,was Flannel that suggested it, but that is a fix that I have seen work
[01:45] <MK13> uatec: have you updated completely, or is it a fresh install?
[01:45] <uatec> kdub, the headphone socket is not muted. I also have music coming out of the onboard speakers while the headphones are plugged in
[01:45] <uatec> it's fully updated
[01:45] <linux> rdw200169 hey whats up with the make install like what is all that about?
[01:46] <MK13> my RealTek has done that b4, but i don't remember how i got it to work
[01:47] <uatec> rubbish
[01:48] <throwt> evolution sucks
[01:48] <sellyoursoul> how do a copy a file from my desktop and paste it to my external drive?  i can't believe i'm having to as this...
[01:48] <AceBlade258> is there any way to make ubuntu have drivers integrated in install?
[01:48] <MK13> does the grub get updated after every kernel update? Because mine does but it leaves the old entries on the menu.
[01:48] <linux> rdw200169 i love you
[01:49] <linux> rdw200169 lmfao jk
[01:49] <scunizi> AceBlade258, ubuntu has tons of integrated drivers already there during install.. what other drivers are you thinking of?
[01:49] <rdw200169> linux i'm off to bed!
[01:49] <AceBlade258> specifically SB X-Fi and nVidia Ge Force
[01:49] <linux> rdw200169 lol kk man peace
[01:49] <VaxNam> Vigo: I do not see anything there, even in advanced, that says anything about a startup item 'Install' or 'System Install'
[01:49] <redvamp128> MK13:  that is normal-- would not want you update to new one and be left unbootable
[01:49] <BCampbell> AceBlade258, those are not open source drivers..so no
[01:49] <sellyoursoul> i can't seem to write a file to my external usb ntfs drive.  any ideas?
[01:49] <scunizi> AceBlade258, nvidia gforce are there.. which version?  as for X-Fi at some point maybe..
[01:49] <_Vi_> sellyoursoul: sudo cp /home/sellyoursoul/file /media/disk/   shoudl do it (Assuming /media/disk/ is your external)
[01:49] <kdub> uatec: find help in #alsa
[01:49] <\kira> sellyoursoul: what does it do?
[01:50] <AceBlade258> then is there any way to make it use closed source
[01:50] <sellyoursoul> thanks _vi_
[01:50] <\kira> sellyoursoul: errors? Does it have the desktop icon?
[01:50] <BCampbell> sellyoursoul, insttall ntfs-config it should allow you to set write permissions very easily
[01:50] <vigo> VaxNam: what version?
[01:50] <MK13> redvamp128: but i can still choose the old entries and boot just fine
[01:50] <sellyoursoul> let me try vi's tip
[01:50] <_Vi_> sellyoursoul: oh wait its NTFS?
[01:50] <redvamp128> That is the point
[01:50] <AceBlade258> scunzi: when i boot mine it says "Ubuntu is rinning in low graphics mode"
[01:50] <sellyoursoul> yes, ntfs
[01:50] <redvamp128> MK13:  that is the point of why--
[01:50] <BCampbell> AceBlade258, you just install the drivers after install...same as Windows
[01:51] <poseidon> anyone know what apt-get is written in?
[01:51] <VaxNam> Vigo: Of ubuntu? How would I find out, Easy Peasy really didn't tell me what version I had.
[01:51] <MK13> redvamp128: is it safe to remove the old entries after you know the update is correct?
[01:51] <redvamp128> sellyoursoul:  have you installed-- in synaptic ntfs-3g?
[01:51] <redvamp128> MK13:  for me I remove all but the last 2
[01:51] <sellyoursoul> redvamp128, yes i have
[01:52] <amadeobellotti> hello
[01:52] <IndyGunFreak> VaxNam: lsb_release -a in a terminal will tell you the version of ubuntu you have
[01:52] <\kira> !hi | amadeobellotti
[01:52] <AceBlade258> BCampbell: there is the problem, when i boot it gives me the low graphics mode message, then when i tell it to continure anyway it restarts the graphics adapter and crashes
[01:52] <amadeobellotti> i was wondering if i could get some help
[01:52] <_Vi_> sellyoursoul: have you tried samba?
[01:52] <redvamp128> MK13:  Though you have to sudo gedit and then open the file to edit it
[01:52] <\kira> !ask | amadeobellotti
[01:52] <AceBlade258> (i got it working once before)
[01:52] <vigo> VaxNam: uhm ok,,let me look up easy peasy
[01:52] <sellyoursoul> no, but i'll make a note of samba
[01:52] <BCampbell> AceBlade258, which nvidia card and which driver?
[01:53] <VaxNam> Vigo: 8.10
[01:53] <amadeobellotti> ok cool so my laptop battery isnt charging all the way the last charge was only 3.8 Wh where the designed was for 88 wh
[01:53] <VaxNam> Vigo: its a netbook remix distro
[01:53] <sellyoursoul> bahhh!  do i need to use an underscore in files names where there are spaces in the file name?
[01:53] <AceBlade258> GeForce 8800GTS, and any that works, the last time i got it working took me two hours and the driver version was 177
[01:53] <redvamp128> sellyoursoul:  it does not let you write to it but does the system see it
[01:53] <AceBlade258> i would like to use 180
[01:53] <IndyGunFreak> VaxNam: that command should still work in a terminal, but i believe ubuntu nbr is based on 8.04 Hardy
[01:53] <BCampbell> AceBlade258, what stopped it from working?
[01:53] <Jpdota> hi, i have several users of debian and/or ubuntu on my LAN, and i would like to set up an apt-cacher to conserve bandwidth.  is there any way to set one up on a non-debian-based computer?  my router is the only computer constantly on and it runs openbsd, so i'd like to set it up on that
[01:54] <_Vi_> sellyoursoul: ok, theres a few GUI for samba that you can use too, just look in synaptic for samba, i think one is called swat,
[01:54] <jams44> How do I view my Hardware Specs? Is there an easy way to view info like mobo, RAM, chipset and what not?
[01:54] <sellyoursoul> redvamp:  yes.  i can copy files from the drive also.  just not write to it, it seems
[01:54] <scunizi> AceBlade258, the 177 driver is not the best.. the 180.xx direct from nvidia works much better.
[01:54] <redvamp128> sellyoursoul:  and which version of Ubuntu 8.04 or 8.10
[01:54] <sellyoursoul> xubuntu 8.04
[01:54] <_Vi_> that's what i have
[01:54] <redvamp128> you could try opening it up as sudo natilus
[01:54] <BCampbell> scunizi, 180.22 crashed my system..but it may just be me
[01:54] <linux> does anyone here use ubuntu IDE eclipse?
[01:54] <sellyoursoul> i like it, i just don't know how to do much yet
[01:54] <redvamp128> Though to note-- DO NOT WRITE TO YOUR OWN SYSTEM
[01:54] <AceBlade258> scunzi: i think you told me that last time, never got the chance to try
[01:54] <_Vi_> redvamp128: gksudo
[01:55] <BCampbell> sellyoursoul, "sudo apt-get install ntfs-config"  should fix your problem
[01:55] <sellyoursoul> what is gk in gksudo?
[01:55] <Jpdota> linux: yes
[01:55] <AceBlade258> my brother took the liberty of reformatting my linux partition through windows
[01:55] <_Vi_> sellyoursoul: dont use sudo with graphical stuff
[01:55] <VaxNam> IndyGunFreak: It did work, I found the distro. It's 8.10. I'm just trying to remove the start up "Install" application from boot.
[01:55] <_Vi_> !gksu
[01:55] <VaxNam> Also for Vigo
[01:55] <redvamp128> ubottu:  gksudo
[01:55] <vigo> VaxNam: Okay, is at sourceforge, is not an official Ubuntu package, but heck, back-up, re-install
[01:55] <tbrock> hey guys, i'm trying to burn a iso to a usb drive in ubuntu
[01:55] <linux> jpdota: hey did u use instal it in terminal?
[01:55] <tbrock> can someone help me figure this out
[01:55] <redvamp128> ubottu: gksudo
[01:55] <_Vi_> its !gksu
[01:56] <Jpdota> linux: yes, i installed it in terminal, it's just sudo apt-get install eclipse
[01:56] <VaxNam> There is no way I can remove the startup Item of install, Vigo? I'd have to reinstall the whole thing?
[01:56] <bling> how do i edit the properties of a launcher?
[01:56] <linux> jpdota: ok well um how do i use it?
[01:56] <linux> jpdota: maybe even as a desktop app?
[01:56] <IndyGunFreak> VaxNam: try this.. open a terminal type "gnome-session-properties" no quotes, hit enter, and then find what you don't want to load at startup, and uncheck it.
[01:56] <Jpdota> linux: Applications --> Programming --> Eclipse or type eclipse in the command line
[01:57] <BCampbell> AceBlade258, when restarting..can you choose the option to use default graphic setting as apposed to low graphics mode
[01:57] <amadeobellotti> ok cool so my laptop battery isnt charging all the way the last charge was only 3.8 Wh where the designed was for 88 wh. what would cause this, and how do i fix it
[01:57] <sellyoursoul> sudo is for non gui stuff, gksudo for gui stuff?
[01:57] <linux> jpdota: kk thanks
[01:57] <prince_jammys> sellyoursoul: correct
[01:57] <Jpdota> linux: no problem, happy coding
[01:57] <vigo> VaxNam: Ubuntu does have some PPC and other distros that may work,,if you go Terrminal, yes, they might could be removed,,but without proper documentation it is a tough call.
[01:57] <sellyoursoul> prince:  thanks
[01:57] <joljam> i cannot download anythung t ubuntu ibex
[01:57] <linux> jpdota: you to
[01:57] <joljam> someone please help me
[01:57] <AceBlade258> yes, when i do it tells me to restart and i do, it just brings me back to the same thing
[01:57] <AceBlade258> it's odd
[01:57] <bling> nm
[01:58] <joljam> this is using firefox
[01:58] <BCampbell> AceBlade258, sounds like maybe your x conf is fouled
[01:58] <linux> jpdota: you ever code anything?
[01:58] <VaxNam> IndyGunFreak: I tried that already, the Application "Install" or anything along those lines is not in there.
[01:58] <Jpdota> linux: yes
[01:58] <VaxNam> vigo: I see
[01:58] <linux> jpdota: like?
[01:58] <IndyGunFreak> VaxNam: hmm,

[01:59] <VaxNam> IndyGunFreak: What shoud I be looking for?
[01:59] <Jpdota> linux: java applications, php scripts, etc
[01:59] <throwt> how to i disable the prompt to run in terminal/edit/run when i double click on a shell script?
[01:59] <IndyGunFreak> VaxNam: honestly, i don't know.
[01:59] <sellyoursoul> did sudo apt-get install ntfs-config but no luck
[01:59] <VaxNam> IndyGunFreak: Haha, I've never seen this before.
[01:59] <sellyoursoul> maybe i need to restart x?
[01:59] <linux> jpdota: ice hey you have a psp? because i code in lua and c++  coding game/app ect ect
[02:00] <MK13> redvamp: is there a way to remove the old kernels?
[02:00] <IndyGunFreak> VaxNam: what is the name of the program that you're not wanting to start at startup, cuz it has to be in that list..
[02:00] <BCampbell> sellyoursoul, did you look in the menu?  applications -> system tools?
[02:00] <Jpdota> linux: no i don't
[02:00] <VaxNam> IndyGunFreak: I'll take a screenshot
[02:00] <_Vi_> sellyoursoul: try sudo apt-get install ntfs<HIT TAB A FEW TIMES>
[02:00] <IndyGunFreak> ok
[02:00] <linux> jpdota: ok well thanks peace

[02:03] <BCampbell> sellyoursoul, are you dragging the file, cut and paste or how?
[02:03] <IndyGunFreak> VaxNam: are you running the "live" version, or are you installed.
[02:03] <quiksilver> or at least a reccomendation
[02:03] <VaxNam> IndyGunFreak: It's like I'm still on a live CD
[02:03] <VaxNam> I'm installed
[02:04] <Onidemo> Can someone help me to | Switch my radeon_drv to radeon driver | ?
[02:04] <quiksilver> no need for itunes right?
[02:04] <BCampbell> joljam, nothing even starts?
[02:04] <sellyoursoul> BCampbell:  i tried both ways
[02:04] <joljam> BCampbell...nothing
[02:04] <VaxNam> I used the "USB" method of installing it though.
[02:04] <linux> joljam you try reseting your computer?
[02:04] <VaxNam> IndyGunFreak: So I'm Installed, I installed using a USB
[02:04] <IndyGunFreak> VaxNam: that really shouldn't matter, i did the same thing on my AAO, but i installed normal ubuntu.
[02:04] <joljam> BCampbell.. I hit Ctrl+Y and nothing is seen in the window
[02:04] <sellyoursoul> BCampbell:  i'm going to restart and see if anything changes.
[02:05] <VaxNam> IndyGunFreak: This is so wierd, I'm running Aspire One
[02:05] <joljam> how can I reset my computer from commandline
[02:05] <Stargazer> I'm trying to install ubuntu but none of my partitions are showing up when the partition editor loads. any ideas ?
[02:05] <IndyGunFreak> VaxNam: go through your sessions/startup list.. and see if you see a program called "ubiquity" set to start on startup
[02:05] <joljam> linux:---how can I reset my computer from commandline
[02:05] <VaxNam> ok
[02:05] <Onidemo>  Can someone help me to | Switch my radeon_drv to radeon driver | ?
[02:05] <quiksilver> is there an open source pdf reader
[02:05] <linux> joljam just reset it from ubuntu
[02:05] <quiksilver> or should i just install adobe acrobat?
[02:05] <joljam> linux.. how do I do that
[02:05] <vigo> IndyGunFreek: good call..I forgot about that
[02:05] <Cpudan80> quicksilver_: evince
[02:05] <joljam> linux.... I am a newbie
[02:05] <Stargazer> quiksilver: there should be evince.
[02:05] <Cpudan80> quiksilver: ^
[02:06] <IndyGunFreak> vigo: took me a minute.. :)
[02:06] <tbrock> joljam, reboot
[02:06] <linux> joljam what version of ubuntu you have?
[02:06] <Cpudan80> I think evince is better than acrobat actually
[02:06] <Cpudan80> its much lighter weight
[02:06] <BCampbell> joljam, as root shutdown -r 0
[02:06] <quiksilver> hmmm
[02:06] <KNY> is there a way to install kubuntu-desktop (on top of Ubuntu) without having all the KDE apps clutter up my application menus?
[02:06] <joljam> linux:- 8.10 Intrepid
[02:06] <quiksilver> says its installed, but i get an error when i open a pdf
[02:06] <sellyoursoul> BCampbel:  nothing changed after a restart
[02:06] <VaxNam> IndyGunFreak: I removed Ubiquity
[02:06] <Stargazer> Cpudan80: i prefer KPDF even though i'm on gnome. i find Evince to be rather heavy.
[02:06] <IndyGunFreak> VaxNam: i'm guessing you won't have that problem anymore.. :)
[02:06] <IndyGunFreak> !info ubiquity | VaxNam
[02:06] <Cpudan80> KNY: no - youd have to remove them from the menu after the fact
[02:07] <KNY> Cpudan80, dang.
[02:07] <redvamp128> KNY:  should you decide to install -- KDE dekstop remember this
[02:07] <IndyGunFreak> VaxNam: if it was set to load up on startup, then it makes sense why it kept loading.
[02:07] <linux> joljam ok in the bottom right hand corner there will be your username just click that and click restart
[02:07] <BCampbell> sellyoursoul, very strange lemme look some
[02:07] <KNY> redvamp128, er, remember what?
[02:07] <MK131> redvamp: yea I know how to take them off the grub boot list, and I have already removed all the old entries from it (making a backup first)
[02:07] <redvamp128> KNY:  write this one down-- will help you get back to gnome configure (sudo dpkg reconfigure gdm)
[02:07] <Decepticon> what do i do if i want my script to launch when theres a new dir in /home/decepticon/newstuff/*
[02:07] <joljam> linux:- in fact I have been restarting several times
[02:07] <Stargazer> I'm trying to install Ubuntu but the partition editor during install isn't showing any partitions.
[02:07] <KNY> redvamp128, ah, will do
[02:07] <KNY> thanks
[02:07] <VaxNam> vigo: and IndyGunFreak: Thank You so much for the help. I'm very greatful for the help!
[02:08] <Cpudan80> redvamp128: what?
[02:08] <redvamp128> I think there is supposed to be dash in there
[02:08] <Cpudan80> redvamp128: He should have to do that at all
[02:08] <redvamp128> The KDE display manager takes over
[02:08] <Cpudan80> KNY: Dont use KDM
[02:08] <KNY> redvamp128, yeah, there is.
[02:08] <IndyGunFreak> VaxNam: lol, i'm more curious if it worked..lol, but your appreciation is noted.
[02:08] <KNY> Cpudan80, eh?
[02:08] <Decepticon> help in the help channel please? what do i do if i want my script to launch when theres a new dir in /home/decepticon/newstuff/*
[02:08] <linux> joljam hmm did you install ubuntu using wubi?
[02:08] <VaxNam> IndyGunFreak: I thought It would be called Install or something liket hat.
[02:08] <Cpudan80> redvamp128: no - you get to pick - stick with GDM
[02:08] <VaxNam> that*
[02:08] <redvamp128> If you install Kubuntu desktop it does
[02:08] <Stargazer> I'm trying to install Ubuntu but the partition editor during install isn't showing any partitions. I need help. :<
[02:08] <Cpudan80> KNY: towards the end it will ask whether to use KDM or GDM, use GDM
[02:08] <joljam> linux:- I installed ubuntu from usb
[02:08] <redvamp128> Didn't the last time I installed Kubuntu desktop
[02:08] <VaxNam> I'll be back
[02:09] <KNY> Cpudan80, towards the end of the kubuntu-desktop install?
[02:09] <vigo> VaxNam: it works, so all good
[02:09] <linux> joljam is ubuntu on the hardd rive?
[02:09] <VaxNam> IndyGunFreak: I'm goingto test
[02:09] <VaxNam> Brbr vigo and IndyGunFreak
[02:09] <Cpudan80> KNY: You can then select which desktop to use from the bottom of the gdm menu
[02:09] <IndyGunFreak> VaxNam: ok.. i'm guesssing that did it.
[02:09] <Cpudan80> KNY: yes
[02:09] <BCampbell> sellyoursoul, i forgot...which version are you using? intrepid?
[02:09] <node357> Decepticon, I don't think there's any way to do that
[02:09] <redvamp128> not always on 8.10 -- did ask me on 8.04
[02:09] <joljam> linux:- yes it is on hard drive
[02:09] <Decepticon> node357 lies
[02:09] <KNY> how about I just install it in a VM and just use it there? ;)
[02:09] <tbrock> can someone help me make a bootable windows disk from ubuntu
[02:09] <_Vi_> Stargazer: does sudo cfdisk show them?
[02:09] <linux> joljam ok is the download your only problem?
[02:09] <vigo> VaxNam: Make a backup first!
[02:09] <joljam> linux:- yes
[02:09] <VaxNam> I will!
[02:09] <VaxNam> Thanks
[02:09] <VaxNam> Brb
[02:09] <vigo> ok
[02:10] <IndyGunFreak> vigo: what does he need to bacup?
[02:10] <linux> joljam ok well hmm give me 10 sec to thinl
[02:10] <Stargazer> yes, _Vi_
[02:10] <tbrock> i've got an iso i need to write to a usb drive
[02:10] <_Vi_> :)
[02:10] <tbrock> i could do this in mac os x
[02:10] <_Vi_> Stargazer: you using gparted earlier?
[02:10] <tbrock> so i don't see why i couldn't do this in ubuntu
[02:10] <vigo> IndyGunFreak: the stable repaired system....
[02:10] <IndyGunFreak> vigo: oh ok.
[02:10] <quiksilver> is evince EPDF viewer?
[02:10] <sellyoursoul> BCampbell:  xubuntu 8.04
[02:11] <_Vi_> quiksilver: i think its a creator too
[02:11] <_Vi_> could be wrong though
[02:11] <redvamp128> Cpudan80:  for some reason the past 2 times I installed Kubuntu desktop on 8.10 it asked but then after I signed into the kde desktop KDM took over
[02:11] <vigo> IndyGunFreak: Backups are a good routine to get into , especially when making system changes or even typing "Hello World" .
[02:11] <Stargazer> _Vi_: any ideas as to why the partition editor in the install isn't showing my partitions ?
[02:11] <Cpudan80> redvamp128: hrm...
[02:11] <redvamp128> Cpudan80:  but once I ran that command it never took over again (and yes I chose GDM)
[02:11] <linux> joljam on your control panel go to System - Administration - Software Sources
[02:11] <Cpudan80> redvamp128: maybe you have to do it from apt-get on the command line?
[02:12] <linux> joljam tell me when you got that
[02:12] <Cpudan80> redvamp128: When I did it the reconfigure thing came up close to the end
[02:12] <redvamp128> Cpudan80:  that is why I told him to remember that
[02:12] <IndyGunFreak> vigo: i'm pretty religous about backups, i can be backup, almost completely, in around an hour or so.
[02:12] <joljam> linux:- I am there
[02:12] <redvamp128> Cpudan80:  The file configured for GDM just fine-- but when from the login screen -- I choose KDE and booted to that desktop KDM took over ...
[02:12] <vigo> IndyGunFreak: You have learned,,,many still stumble along and wonder WHY!?!
[02:13] <Cpudan80> redvamp128: well if you set KDE as the default that might happen
[02:13] <robd> Hey guys
[02:13] <_Vi_> Stargazer: not off hand, maybe it was just a fluke? at any rate there is a gparted Live CD or ther's is also Parted Magic live CD you could try those to partition the drives
[02:13] <IndyGunFreak> vigo: only took me screwing up my windows with a screwed up pclinus OS install to learn the importance...(it wasn't PCLOS's fault, it was me being a newb moron)
[02:13] <redvamp128> Cpudan80:  I think it is because 1strun for KDE desktop sets that up as default
[02:13] <linux> joljam ok now see were it says updates click that and look down towards the bottom it should say large term suport only make it were it says normal releases
[02:13] <robd> I'm only getting about 8000 concurrent connections on my Ubuntu server
[02:14] <linux> joljam then close
[02:14] <robd> Is there anything I can tweak in sysctl to support more connections? (i.e. raise the file handle limit)
[02:14] <joljam> linux:- yes it says normal releases
[02:14] <vigo> IndyGunFreak: Learning is FUNda-mental
[02:14] <linux> joljam have you updated?
[02:14] <IndyGunFreak> ;)
[02:14] <_Vi_> linux: 'long' term support not 'large' :)
[02:15] <joljam> linux it was already Normal releases
[02:15] <linux> _Vi_ thank you vi my mistake
[02:15] <joljam> I did not have to change anything
[02:15] <_Vi_> :)

[02:24] <Luke9> internal
[02:24] <Tech-Mike> ?? \kira where u get that?
[02:24] <MK131> Luke9: madwifi or ndiswrapper would be good
[02:25] <dayo_> http://www.wimp.com/badinfo/
[02:25] <IndyGunFreak> Luke9: ok.. if he's on ubuntu, tell him to open a terminal and type "lspci" no quotes, hit enter, and see the what atheros chipset it is.
[02:25] <dayo_> ndiswrapper is a nightmare
[02:25] <this_mat> Anyone know if it's possible to use ubuntu as the file server for an xbox? Streaming music n such to it?
[02:25] <\kira> Tech-Mike: well, I was talking about msn, so I assumed you were "defending" it in a way
[02:25] <IndyGunFreak> MK131: actually, there's a couple atheros chipsets that madwifi doesn't work w/
[02:26] <Tech-Mike> no - i said peeps use it probably because: it comes on pretty much everybodys comp
[02:26] <MK131> Dayo: yea, but thankfully i have Broadcom so i use b43-fwcutter
[02:26] <dayo_> this_mat: i saw something like that about a ps3

[02:27] <koshari> this_mat i guess it comes down to the 360s support of shares and the codecs it supports, prolly a q for #360***
[02:27] <churl> ubuntu just decided to logout seeming out of nowhere.  popped up something about "anacron" on a black screen, then went to the login screen.  is there a file i can look in and see what error that was? (let me know if im leaving something important out)

[02:28] <MindVirus> I'm running gnome-terminal --command x.
[02:28] <MindVirus> How do I make it stay open after x is done?
[02:28] <jcapinc> anacron sounds like a scheduler
[02:28] <dayo_> churl: /var/log/syslog
[02:28] <jcapinc> churl Anacron is a scheduling program, it is used for scheduling shut downs among other things
[02:28] <__jaschon__> does anyone know what directs the audio that is played through the headphone jack?

[02:29] <tsuna27> i have a problem with ubuntu it turns gray a lot it just freezes up, with windows this meant a virus of some kind but I have no idea what it means in ubuntu
[02:29] <MindVirus> Anyone know?
[02:29] <jcapinc> tsuna27 what do you mean it turns grey?
[02:29] <MindVirus> tsuna27, no, it's not a virus.
[02:29] <MindVirus> It means your computer is slow.
[02:30] <vax_> I got a virus on my ubintu
[02:30] <MindVirus> When a window is gray, it's not responding.
[02:30] <vax_> I got a virus on my ubuntu

[02:30] <jcapinc> vax_ what does it do? :P
[02:30] <Luke9> Hmm that's interesting
[02:30] <Batshua> Um, my xorg.conf could use some help.    I have three ways to connect the mythbox to the TV: DVI, Composite, and S-Video.  So far none of them work right.
[02:30] <MK131> just on a side note, how many viruses for ubuntu are there now?
[02:30] <IndyGunFreak> Luke9: ?
[02:30] <MindVirus> I'm running gnome-terminal --command x.
[02:30] <Batshua> By "work right", I mean "has proper resolution, is centered, and is the right color".  Could anyone assist me with the configuration?  I would really appreciate it.

[02:30] <MindVirus> How do I make it stay open after x is done?
[02:30] <Luke9> And it's just a gray screen
[02:31] <jcapinc> MK131 are you using a nvidia card?
[02:31] <vax_> IndyGunFreak: It worked!
[02:31] <IndyGunFreak> Luke9: did you ever figure out what chipset your friend has?
[02:31] <IndyGunFreak> vax_: i thought i might.. ;)
[02:31] <MK131> Yea
[02:31] <churl> jcapinc: it looks like vbox segfaulted
[02:31] <Luke9> He's working on it
[02:31] <Luke9> Any idea how I can get on here through my Linux machine?
[02:31] <IndyGunFreak> Luke9: does he have internet access at all?
[02:31] <vax_> IndyGunFreak: Thanks again. Thank you too, Vigo.
[02:32] <jcapinc> Luke9 XChat, thats what im using

[02:33] <Nautilus__> whats a good GUI FTP/SFTP app, perferably with XCRC support?
[02:34] <jcapinc> Nautilus__ Filezilla is a wonderful FTP program, but I dont know what XCRC is, though I suspect that Filezilla would support it
[02:34] <MindVirus> Nautilus__, nautilus.
[02:34] <mcpancakes> Nautilus__: I really like the FireFTP firefox addon. I don't use any standalone programs.
[02:34] <Luke9> jcap, sorry I'm such a newb but when I click download it says "index of /files/binary/rpm" what do I do now?
[02:34] <MindVirus> I'm running gnome-terminal --command x.
[02:34] <MindVirus> How do I make it stay open after x is done?
[02:35] <whydoesithurt> Hello. What would people recommend as the best option for automatic backups?
[02:35] <Killeroid> can anyone tell me where the default java classes are installed to?
[02:35] <caboosification> has anyone been able to install ubuntu(not live usb) onto an ipod ?
[02:35] <mindrape> !backup
[02:35] <ned> how do i repair apt, i accidently deleted my sources.list file
[02:35] <IndyGunFreak> whydoesithurt: i use externaldrive 1.0
[02:35] <whydoesithurt> mindrape, thanks much
[02:35] <Nautilus__> jcapinc: XCRC does a CRC check after the transfer, id i understand it correctly
[02:35] <mindrape> ned: I can provide you a new one... if you'd like.
[02:35] <Nautilus__> is-if
[02:35] <Nautilus__> bah, cant type
[02:35] <jedi06> anyone know of a statistical analysis like minitab for ubuntu?
[02:35] <ned> mindrape, please
[02:35] <caboosification> has anyone been able to install ubuntu(not live usb) onto an ipod ?
[02:35] <IndyGunFreak> ned: ?... how can you accidentally delete your source list?
[02:36] <jrib> jedi06: R
[02:36] <n8tuser> MindVirus -> remove the --command x
[02:36] <tritium> caboosification: please don't repeat
[02:36] <ned> IndyGunFreak, pretty easily
[02:36] <jcapinc> Nautilus__ yea, Im a web guy and I use ftp all the time, but I dont know what that is.  I still recommend filezilla
[02:36] <MindVirus> n8tuser, no, I need to have the output open.
[02:36] <Nautilus__> MindVirus: Heh, as you may guess my nick is not about the file manager ;)
[02:36] <dayo_> whydoesithurt: http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_backuppc
[02:36] <IndyGunFreak> ned: in your opinon, what were you doing as root that allowed you to do it.
[02:36] <MindVirus> Nautilus__, nautilus has FTP/SFTP support, AFAIK.
[02:36] <sellyoursoul> still haven't figured out why i can't write to my usb ntfs drive.  should there be an entry in fstab for the drive?
[02:36] <MindVirus> sellyoursoul, yes.
[02:36] <sellyoursoul> MindVirus:  it's missing
[02:37] <MindVirus> Then make it.
[02:37] <Nautilus__> jcapinc: thanks, that I'm familiar with
[02:37] <tritium> sellyoursoul: USB drives don't need fstab entries
[02:37] <Decepticon> which call is better for incron if i want to launch a script when a dir is created inside /my/watch/dir ... the process creating the dir is creating the dir, writing files inside the dir for about 4 minutes, then exiting. should i use : IN_CLOSE_WRITE File opened for writing was closed ........ or should i use IN_CREATE File/directory created in watched directory ?
[02:37] <quiksilver> can anyone reccomend a great music player for ubuntu?
[02:37] <n8tuser> sellyoursoul -> nope, no need to have an entry in your /etc/fstab for temporarily mounts
[02:37] <MindVirus> quiksilver, Rhythmbox.
[02:37] <Tech-Mike> quicksilver audacious
[02:37] <MindVirus> Audacious is not a music player.
[02:37] <jcapinc> quicksilver: either Banshee or Amorok
[02:37] <MindVirus> It's a sequencer.
[02:37] <sellyoursoul> well damn.  i'm really lost, ha, ha.
[02:37] <mrwes> quiksilver: Rhythmbox?
[02:37] <Tech-Mike> yes it is
[02:37] <IndyGunFreak> quicksilver: depends on what you mean by great, audacious, rhythmbox, songbird, helix-player, amarok, there's several good ones
[02:37] <churl> quicksilver_: do you want simple or winamp style, or itunes style?
[02:38] <jcapinc> mrwes quiksilver: Rythmbox is meh
[02:38] <quiksilver> itunes style
[02:38] <atom^x> quicksilver_: gmusicbrowser
[02:38] <caboosification> has anyone been able to install ubuntu(not live usb) onto an ipod ?
[02:38] <tritium> caboosification: I told you not to repeat
[02:38] <jcapinc> caboosification: no lol that wont work
[02:38] <n8tuser> caboosification -> can you try to google for it?
[02:38] <caboosification> i have tried googling it
[02:38] <atom^x> quicksilver_: gmusicbrowser can be configured to look like itunes
[02:38] <caboosification> cant find anything
[02:39] <caboosification> i want to put a partition and boot from that partition
[02:39] <caboosification> on the ipod
[02:39] <mindrape> caboosification: /msg caboosificationhttp://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=ubuntu+install+on+ipod&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq=
[02:39] <n8tuser> caboosification -> then it doesnt magically become available here
[02:39] <IndyGunFreak> Luke9: did he ever figure it out?
[02:39] <Onidemo> How do i Navigate to a folder in Terminal so i can execute a command?
[02:39] <Tech-Mike> cd
[02:39] <lstarnes> Onidemo: cd
[02:39] <caboosification> nvm i guess
[02:39] <tsuna27> what can I do to make ubuntu run faster
[02:39] <churl> quicksilver_: audacious :)
[02:39] <Onidemo> thanks
[02:40] <MindVirus> tsuna27, get better hardware.
[02:40] <churl> quicksilver_: or if you have the kde libraries, amarok
[02:40] <MindVirus> tsuna27, Ubuntu is remarkably optimized.
[02:40] <whydoesithurt> !sbackup
[02:40] <MindVirus> Close running processes or tabs, tsuna27.
[02:40] <Tech-Mike> metacity instead of compiz, or withouth X
[02:41] <Nautilus__> tx guys
[02:41] <jcapinc> tsuna27 what type of machine are you running?
[02:41] <liquid> Is there any way to limit cpu/memory consumption on a process basis, rather than a user (which I would use ulimit for) ?
[02:41] <quiksilver> audacious doesnt store my music
[02:42] <quiksilver> and its tiny
[02:42] <Onidemo> I'm trying to reinstall my ATI card's drivers , i downloaded a file from www.ati.com  that ends with .run  , how do i execute it?
[02:42] <Tech-Mike> ya its winamp style
[02:42] <tsuna27> jcapinc: a toshiba laptop
[02:42] <quiksilver> tiniest little window ive ever seen
[02:42] <Tech-Mike> uses playlists
[02:42] <mindrape> Onidemo - ./thefile.run
[02:42] <Tech-Mike> use rythmbox then
[02:42] <quiksilver> i want to have a library
[02:42] <mindrape> Onidemo or you can type      bash thefile.run
[02:42] <Tech-Mike> rhythmbox
[02:42] <mindrape> Onidemo: you may have to chmod +x thefile.run
[02:42] <jcapinc> tsuna27: what type of processor
[02:42] <Onidemo> mindrape: ok, so i type this in Terminal ?
[02:43] <mindrape> yes
[02:43] <tsuna27> jcapinc: no clue centrino
[02:43] <mindrape> tsuna27 - to tell people your computer stats type          sudo lshw -short
[02:43] <mindrape> then copy and pastebin the results.
[02:43] <avantcore> quick question: I can get dual displays working properly using the ATI Catalyst control center (in 8.10) but when I restart my setting get reverted back to one display mirroring the other.  How can I fix this?
[02:43] <oholiab> quiksilver: what Tech-Mike said, rhythmox
[02:43] <luke_> Woot I'm in
[02:43] <jcapinc> tsuna27 the thing I dont get is th grey screen, I mean it sounds like a hardware problem and not ubuntu, as if there is something wrong with your screen
[02:43] <quiksilver> thanks guysj
[02:44] <atom^x> quicksilver_: gmusicbrowser
[02:44] <liquid> avantcore I have the same issue, I would love to know the answer
[02:44] <MindVirus> Forget gmusicbrowser.
[02:44] <luke_> thanks jcap
[02:44] <MindVirus> Don't install excess.
[02:44] <MindVirus> Rhythmbox is built-in and is excellent.
[02:44] <tsuna27> jcapinc: no it only happens when it freezs up
[02:44] <atom^x> bloat
[02:44] <tsuna27> !pastebin
[02:44] <atom^x> rythmbox = bloat
[02:45] <sellyoursoul> when i try to change directory via 'cd /home/myname' nothing happens.
[02:45] <mindrape> sellyoursoul: you are probably already there... type pwd
[02:45] <tsuna27> jcapinc:http://paste.ubuntu.com/107570/
[02:45] <Tech-Mike> atom^x  exactly, screw music librarys...just use playlists like winamp/audacious does (winamp can but that windows, bleh)
[02:46] <mindrape> sellyoursoul: you can just type cd ~
[02:46] <jedi06> jrib what is the package name?
[02:46] <quiksilver> Tech-Mike: where do i add the songs from
[02:46] <quiksilver> if i have alibrary anyways wats the difference?
[02:46] <Tech-Mike> for which, rhythmbox or audacious
[02:46] <quiksilver> audacious
[02:47] <Tech-Mike> first right click and do view- playlist editor
[02:47] <Tech-Mike> then use the ADD button
[02:48] <ValentineX> any link please to create usb live ubuntu drive from xp?
[02:48] <sellyoursoul> my drive is named 'green box'.  i'm entering 'cd /media/green box'.  terminal says directory doesn't exist
[02:48] <mindrape> when you have spaces you need a \
[02:48] <mindrape> cd /media/green\ box
[02:48] <marine> nightrid3r, what's u[ dog
[02:48] <sellyoursoul> ah ha thanks
[02:49] <jedi06> what is the package for R on ubuntu
[02:49] <nightrid3r> marine: yow
[02:49] <mindrape> sudo apt-cache search R
[02:50] <raldi> I'm trying to download bittorrent for feisty, but every single link is broken at http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/all/bittorrent/download
[02:50] <tsuna27> jcapinc: hows it goin
[02:50] <oholiab> mindrape: I didn't know taht, nice one :)
[02:50] <mindrape> sudo apt-cache search R | less
[02:50] <raldi> am i doing something wrong?
[02:50] <oholiab> mindrape: I usually just google it
[02:51] <oholiab> raldi: sudo apt-get install bittorrent
[02:51] <jcapinc> tsuna27 I just finished looking up your processor..... its OLD, I think tha machine is too old to run ubuntu
[02:51] <marine> nightrid3r,  finally figured out what i was doing wrong with the boot up in cd mode
[02:51] <nightrid3r> raldi: read the top frame on that page
[02:51] <jemerson> alguem ai?
[02:51] <raldi> oholiab: it doesn't work -- probably for the same reason that all those links are broken
[02:51] <tsuna27> jcapinc: what upgrades would you recommend
[02:51] <nightrid3r> marine: so you learned something new :)
[02:51] <jemerson> alguem do brasil online?
[02:51] <lstarnes> !br | jemerson
[02:51] <marine> nightrid3r,  yeah you can say that
[02:51] <mib_yp7344> tsuna27: have you tried xubuntu?
[02:51] <exodus_ms> !br
[02:51] <jemerson> opa
[02:51] <thomc> Is there a way to tell Ubuntu to automatically spin down my hard drives after a certain period of inactivity?
[02:51] <jemerson> br!
[02:52] <mindrape> raldi -              sudo apt-get update                        sudo apt-cache search torrent                    sudo apt-get install <pick one from prior list>
[02:52] <marine> nightrid3r, what option in the live cd
[02:52] <tsuna27> mib_yp7344: can I run compiz and make it look like a mac
[02:52] <jemerson> alguem do brasil a fim de tc?
[02:52] <mindrape> !hdparm
[02:52] <mindrape> thomc - man hdparm
[02:52] <exodus_ms> jemerson: #ubuntu-br
[02:52] <oholiab> raldi: hmm, strange, I just simulated the install and it was fine
[02:52] <nightrid3r> marine: ??
[02:52] <marine> nightrid3r,  do i chose to import the rest of the unallocated partition into this onee
[02:53] <raldi> oholiab: what site did it download it from? i can't find any site that actually has the .deb
[02:53] <nightrid3r> marine: what you want to do?
[02:53] <raldi> oholiab: are you sure your simulation really downloaded anything?
[02:53] <oholiab> raldi: I did the apt-get
[02:53] <marine> night what option do i chose in livecd to import/move the unallocated partition into this one
[02:53] <jcapinc> tsuna27 wll the memory is fine, but you might need a little more space for ubuntu and a better processor.  which for  a laptop is difficult to replace, so I recomend a new laptop.  Windows XP must be tough to run on that laptop
[02:53] <tritium> oholiab: the -s (simulate) switch doesn't actually do any downloading
[02:54] <oholiab> tritium: yes, ut it must check that the package is actually there mustn't it?
[02:54] <nightrid3r> marine: manual ?
[02:54] <tritium> oholiab: nope
[02:54] <tsuna27> mib_yp7344: whats the difference btw ubuntu an xubuntu
[02:54] <Tidus> ubuntu = gnome, xubuntu = xfce
[02:54] <oholiab> tritium: fair enough, learn something new every day :)
[02:54] <marine> nightrid3r,  it gives you several options one do explore without adding anything to your pc the other is check memory one is the actual install and the other is i forget LOL
[02:55] <tritium> oholiab: it's useful for showing you what additional packages will be installed due to dependencies, but it doesn't check anything over the network
[02:55] <nightrid3r> Marfi: do you want to install
[02:55] <tsuna27> Tidus: what does the mean for the end user
[02:55] <oholiab> tritium: yeah, I've done it for dependencies efore ut never to check whether the package will actually download
[02:56] <nightrid3r> marine: do you want to install
[02:56] <Tidus> tsuna27: they're both easy enough to use and configure. just depends on how much resources you wish to have used by the system, as xubuntu has slightly lower system requirements
[02:56] <bluelightningvid> is there a video compression program for ubuntu?
[02:57] <luke_> Need more help with my friends wireless network
[02:57] <tsuna27> Tidus then why would any1 use ubuntu if xubuntu can run better on older systems
[02:57] <exodus_ms> !mencoder
[02:57] <marine> no i have ubuntu installed already i want to use the unallocated partition i made with gparted the other day i couldn't do it because i'm in the system now
[02:57] <liquid> bluelightningvid check out mencoder
[02:57] <mindrape> luke_ what is wrong?
[02:57] <mindrape> !wireless
[02:57] <Tidus> tsuna27: that's almost like using why use linux when windows is already installed...
[02:57] <tritium> tsuna27: not everyone has older systems, for one thing.  Some people prefer gnome to xfce, for another, and *many* other reasons.
[02:57] <nightrid3r> marine: use try out
[02:57] <Tidus> tsuna27: some people prefer the feature set of gnome, some want more minimal
[02:58] <Tidus> linux is all about choice
[02:58] <luke_> Well he went into Terminal like the other guy said, and came up with this
[02:58] <luke_> 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
[02:58] <marine> nightrid3r, no i have ubuntu installed already i want to use the unallocated partition i made with gparted the other day i couldn't do it because i'm in the system now
[02:58] <exodus_ms> bluelightningvid: ffmpeg
[02:58] <luke_> So what does he do to get his wireless internet connected?
[02:58] <nightrid3r> marine: use the first option
[02:58] <mindrape> luke_ sudo lshw -C network          which driver is it using (look near the bottom last 3 lines of the output)
[02:59] <marine> nightrid3r,  ut that isn't adding or hanging anything the my system in other words it's a demo version
[02:59] <mindrape> luke_         sudo iwconfig        make sure a device has wireless extentions.              sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid YOURAPNAME                  sudo dhclient wlan0                      (if you have WEP or WPA you need to also use iwconfig to set those parameters)
[02:59] <mindrape> after you iwconfig and set the essid you can issue              sudo iwconfig             again and if the access point on the 2nd line shows a MAC address then you are good.
[02:59] <nightrid3r> marine: yes so you kan use gparted to work on your disks
[02:59] <mindrape> that means you are associated.  if not then likely your driver is bunk and you will need to get a new one...
[03:00] <mindrape> 2 good links for wireless:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5693578   and    http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download#DownloadlatestLinuxwirelessdrivers (2nd one is preferred choice if you use ath9k driver)
[03:00] <nblracer> I'm having a problem with switching users, i get a black screen sometimes
[03:00] <marine> nightrid3r, that's fine but when i made the unallocated part i had 60 gigs empty when  i used the demo version for some reason 1.37 gigs had been used up
[03:00] <mindrape> nblracer - CTRL ALT BCKSPC
[03:01] <nblracer> The monitor ios on and not in stanby
[03:01] <bluelightningvid> liquid: is mencoder in the applications menu? or the package manager for you
[03:01] <tsuna27> so can xubuntu do everything ubuntu can
[03:01] <nblracer> X is running
[03:01] <nblracer> mindrape:  i tried
[03:01] <IndyGunFreak> tsuna27: yes
[03:01] <Dr_willis> marine,  5% of a ext3/2 is reserved by default on any filesystem.. that is changeable with  the 'tune2fs' command
[03:01] <marine> nightrid3r, is that what it added when temparirly installing itself unto my desktop
[03:01] <mindrape> tsuna27: they are the same except for the window manager/window environment.
[03:01] <nightrid3r> marine: some programs use 1000M for a GB instead of 1024
[03:01] <nblracer> did not work, i can her the signle noise of X restarting but still a black screen
[03:01] <mindrape> tsuna27 - if you install ubuntu then install xfce you basically are running xfce... they pull from the same repositories...
[03:02] <mindrape> nblracer - CTRL ALT F2 and login then  cd /etc/init.d    then      sudo service gdm restart         then ALT F7 to get back to X
[03:02] <Luigi> Is there a way to check what all recent file cut/paste operations have been? I think I just accidentally screwed something up and would like to at least know what I did...
[03:02] <tsuna27> mindrape: so I have no need 2 uninstall ubuntu
[03:03] <mindrape> tsuna27 - if you have xubuntu you are running ubuntu w XFCE...
[03:03] <sirderigo> #join #ubuntu-co
[03:03] <tsuna27> mindrape: okay okay
[03:03] <exodus_ms> bluelightningvid: --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MEncoder
[03:03] <nblracer> mindrape:  that does not sound like fix, but a work around
[03:03] <dal_work> hey all, having some problems with hibernate on my laptop running ubuntu. It was working but then freezing a few minutes after resuming. I thought the problem might have been the fact that the swap partition was smaller than the amount of memory in the machine, so I increased its size, but now it appears to hibernate (lots of disk activity after hitting hibernate before it turns itself off) but when turning it back on it will only do a norm
[03:03] <dal_work> al boot. The UUID of the swap partition appears to have changed when I increased its size, not sure if that's relevant.
[03:03] <marine> nightrid3r, i understand that but when i check  it now the full go gigs are avaiable when i used the demo version it had used 1.37 gigs of space
[03:03] <mindrape> nblracer - well perhaps this is a one time occurence where gdm got jacked up.  You can always check your X logs...
[03:04] <jcapinc> no, pres f2 type gnome-terminal press enter type sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop press enter type in your password press enter tsuna27
[03:04] <exodus_ms> bluelightningvid: and also take a look at ffmpeg --> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ffmpeg
[03:04] <mindrape> nblracer cd /var/log      look at all the Xorg logs... more/less them.
[03:04] <n8tuser2> dal_work -> then go ahead and change it to the new UUID in /etc/fstab
[03:04] <mindrape> nblracer - also /var/log/messages may have some helpful info
[03:04] <nightrid3r> marine: i have no idea what has happend then
[03:04] <bluelightningvid> exodus_ms: thanks
[03:05] <dal_work> n8tuser, thats done, it wasn't using the swap partition immediately after I resized it but it is now, it still appears to write the hibernate image then doesn't look for it when I turn the machine back on
[03:05] <exodus_ms> bluelightningvid: that last ffmpeg link will help with the install here is more info --> http://ffmpeg.org/
[03:06] <tien> hello there
[03:06] <marine> nightrid3r,  i don't want to make this difficult but i just checked with partition editor and it's smaller than i first made it
[03:06] <dal_work> n8tuser, I seem to remember some text being displayed when it resumed from hibernate (when hibernate was sort of working) along the lines of "using resume image" or "looking for resume image, can't find it, doing normal init" - there's nothing like that now
[03:06] <tien> Can I run "picasa" in Ubuntu
[03:06] <nightrid3r> marine: has to do with the blocksize
[03:06] <mindrape> !picasa
[03:07] <tien> yes
[03:07] <tien> thanks
[03:07] <mindrape> tien - when you get it      dpkg -i thefile.deb        (that installs deb files that you get NOT via apt-get)
[03:07] <marine> nightrid3r, ok so like you said just use the first option and then format to
[03:07] <daniequy> in: "root	(hd0,1)" what does it means the ",1"?
[03:07] <n8tuser2> dal_work -> honestly i dont trust the hibernate mode yet in linux, not quite stable yet i believe
[03:07] <nightrid3r> marine: yes
[03:08] <tsuna27> Jcapinc: if i do that my laptop will run faster?
[03:08] <marine> nightrid3r,  and point to the ext 3 which is my linux side
[03:08] <nightrid3r> marine: yes
[03:08] <jcapinc> tsuna27 yes, XFCE is a different window manager that is lighter AKA needs less power to run smoothly
[03:08] <luke_> mindrape
[03:09] <mindrape> luke_:
[03:09] <luke_> What exactly is my friend supposed to be looking for when he types that in
[03:09] <luke_> Cant cut/paste since hes not online on it ye.t....
[03:09] <mindrape> daniequy: read up here... http://www.linuxmigration.com/quickref/kernel/grub.html
[03:09] <marine> nightrid3r,  ok thsnks let me ask you a question i noticed that linux uses a lot more memory ideiling tha windows
[03:10] <emma> Perhaps someone here could tell me, how does one bring up a list of the wifi signals found?
[03:10] <nightrid3r> marine: can't comment on that, my last windows version was win98
[03:10] <mrwes> marine: it does?
[03:10] <mindrape> emma - sudo iwlist wlan0 scan
[03:10] <luke_> mindrape?
[03:10] <marine> nightrid3r,  on windows with nothing runing in the backgrund i was using aout 178mb with linux it's aout 378mb it there something i'm missing
[03:10] <mindrape> luke_  - - check /msg
[03:11] <daniequy> mindrape: reading..
[03:11] <zelrikriando> how to make screenshots of dropdown menus
[03:11] <emma> Nothing like that in the gui part of ubuntu?
[03:11] <elashish> marine, commonly used programs are loaded into RAM, even if they're not being used
[03:11] <mindrape> emma - gksudo network-manager    I believe
[03:11] <exodus_ms> Print Screen
[03:11] <emma> mindrape: that isn't on the new desktop without starting it from the commandline?
[03:11] <jrib> emma: click on the network icon in the tray
[03:11] <mrwes> zelrikriando: click on the menu to drop down and then hit the print screen key
[03:11] <liquid> Does anyone know of a _good_ way to convert or edit AVCHD hidef video?
[03:11] <mindrape> emma - ALT F2
[03:11] <elashish> in the case that the memory becomes necessary, those programs are unloaded from RAM
[03:11] <tritium> emma: the network-manager applet should be running in your panel
 <what about it>?
[03:11] <zopiac> how do i add a printer that is directly connected to the computer with a d-printer port? (never used this sort of port; always network or USB :P )
[03:12] <emma> jrib, tritium, yes there's something there but it does not say anything.
[03:12] <marine> nightrid3r, the other thing i noticed is with windows i had aout 22 programs running in the background via windows manager and here i have about 40 programs
[03:12] <nightrid3r> marine: linux uses ram for buffering stuff but will clear it as needed
[03:12] <tritium> zopiac: d-printer?  Do you mean a parallel port?
[03:12] <mindrape> what command is he typing that you want to know how to interpret the output for?
[03:12] <vbabiy> Hey does any one else have this problem http://dpaste.com/111285/
[03:12] <zelrikriando> mrwes, i am asking because that method doesnt work
[03:12] <scunizi> zopiac, D port?  parallel centronics..?
[03:12] <mindrape> !cups | zopiac
[03:12] <zopiac> tritium ya, couldnt remember any other name for it other than d-sub :P
[03:12] <vbabiy> These two process start and just keep running till I kill them
[03:12] <emma> says: enable networking (checked), enable wireless (checked), connetion information, edit connections, about.
[03:12] <exodus_ms> luke_: it will show you what mindrape has previously typed to you all
[03:12] <emma> tritium, jrib ^
[03:12] <vbabiy> no idea what starts them
[03:13] <tritium> zopiac: the printer dialog should walk you through it, and detect your printer
[03:13] <nightrid3r> marine: linux uses small chunks of programs, in windows allot is one big program
[03:13] <marine> elashish, right now with just x-caht and awn loaded it's using 435md
[03:13] <Uplink> hello :D
[03:13] <unop> zelrikriando,  open up a terminal and run this.   sleep 5 && gnome-screenshot  # that gives you 5 seconds to setup your screenshot
[03:14] <jrib> emma: does the command line given to you before return more information?
[03:14] <jeeves_Moss> what would cause my Wireless connection so be REALLY slow?
[03:14] <disappearedng> Hey everyone I am doing an internal SCP transfer over lan, normally it goes about 11mb/s but now only 2 mb/s any idea how I can find out the cause of this ?
[03:14] <emma> let's see
[03:14] <brunner> When I play Flash audio on the web, it causes Miro to no longer be able to play audio.  Does anyone know why that might be happening?
[03:14] <marine> nightrid3r,  right now with just x-caht and awn loaded it's using 435md
