[00:00] <badger32d> neyhay, np - I'll be in here for a while
[00:00] <chazbrown> @juk nice, well vim loses that one
[00:00] <neyhay> great :)
[00:00] <bazhang> intok, use ogmrip
[00:00] <juk> chazbrown: sure it's
[00:00] <bazhang> intok may want to install with the --install-recommends option as well
[00:00] <DpinkyandDbrain> muelli how do you set the nomodeset in grub again?
[00:01] <Kip2> Hi, I messed up my grub somehow, and now I am trying to fix it, I'm on a live cd now, with grub in the terminal, how can I know which drives to select? here is a pic of the gparted screen http://i.imgur.com/RRv79.jpg from that screen I only want /sda2/ and /sda3/ for the boot
[00:01] <sirscrubsalot> is anyone running MS Office 2007 via wine for ubuntu 10.04 LTS? i'm a medical student and have ubuntu 10.04 LTS installed on a single boot OS - mainly need it for powerpoint and onenote + word - tutorials online showed mixed results... would like to hear if anyone else here has been able to install this via Wine - thanks
[00:01] <chazbrown> @sirscrubsalot http://www.openofficedownload2011.com/
[00:01] <bazhang> sirscrubsalot, check the appdb and join #winehq for particular apps
[00:02] <bazhang> !appdb | sirscrubsalot
[00:02] <p1und3r> does anyone know why linux-alsa-driver-modules-generic-2.6.35-25 is missing from Ubuntu Audio Dev?
[00:02] <sirscrubsalot> chazbrown - i have been using open office/googledocs but my rotations require ms office powerpoint specifically for certain things
[00:02] <shaggy2> ok so I am needing to change how long it takes for bind9 to reliase that there is a new domain/subdomain. I am running ubuntu 10.10 I created a subdomain last night and the new subdomain didn't work for about 9 - 12 hours. how do I shorten that time?
[00:02] <pooky> I'd read I could set certain apps to use a different gtk theme, can someone explain to me how to do this?
[00:03] <bazhang> pooky, read where
[00:03] <chazbrown> @sirscrubsalot that sucks.... i would use a VM over wine honestly....
[00:03] <DpinkyandDbrain> Muelli?
[00:03] <badger32d> shaggy2, this is really not a question for this forum - this is a general ubuntu help forum. Let me try and point you in a direction that will get you better help, standby
[00:04] <pooky> bazhang: online, I don't understand the instructions I guess is a more accurate way of saying it. It says to set an environment variable, but I don't know how to do that for a launcher...
[00:04] <sirscrubsalot> chazbrown - i don't have a windows OS - would i be able to use something what you mentioned for that purpose then?
[00:04] <tallis_> does anybody have any experience on software raid???
[00:04] <bazhang> pooky, got a link to it?
[00:04] <shaggy2> I have tryed ubuntu-serverm no response, #bind9 no one in there
[00:04] <bazhang> !raid > tallis_
[00:04] <chazbrown> @sirscrubsalot you do need a windows ISO sorry
[00:04] <badger32d> shaggy2, try #bind, that appears to be a bind9 node
[00:04] <pooky> bazhang: heh, I would, if I hadn't just switched to using vimprobable and knew how to copy the URL >.>
[00:05]  * pooky is ashamed
[00:05] <shaggy2> @nadger32d, thank you
[00:05] <badger32d> shaggy2, #bind appears to also have 71 users, so should have good luck!
[00:05] <shaggy2> @badger32d, thank you
[00:05] <badger32d> shaggy2: np
[00:05] <pooky> bazhang: it says to set something like this, GTK2_RC_FILES=/home/USERNAME/.themes/custom.gtkrc thunar
[00:05] <KrashKing> how would I do a command line install once I get the ramdisc loaded
[00:05] <pooky> I just don't know how to make that the default when gnome launches something
[00:06] <bazhang> http://urukrama.wordpress.com/2008/07/13/setting-a-custom-gtk-theme-for-specific-applications/ like this link?
[00:06] <pooky> that is exactly what I'm looking at
[00:06] <pooky> OH
[00:06] <pooky> I misread it
[00:06] <pooky> I get it
[00:06] <pooky> sorry
[00:06] <juk> chazbrown: for me they complete each other, i use both
[00:07] <KrashKing> chazbrown
[00:07] <KrashKing> err
[00:07] <DpinkyandDbrain> can anyone answer some questions about installing nvidia drivers?
[00:07] <KrashKing> chazbrown: could I PM you?
[00:07] <bazhang> DpinkyandDbrain, using jockey-gtk ?
[00:08] <chazbrown> @KrashKing sure but i am at work, i go AFK alot
[00:08] <bazhang> DpinkyandDbrain, what card
[00:08] <cbz> Hi - Once a new kernel is installed, what is the process to update the boot so that it uses that kernel - i could just edit menu.lst but i wanted to know what the automated way of doing that is
[00:09] <bazhang> cbz, as part of a normal update?
[00:09] <Jordan_U> cbz: "sudo update-grub" (if you install a kernel via the package manager this will be done automatically).
[00:09] <bazhang> cbz, menu.lst is no longer operative in grub2 btw
[00:10] <Kip2> Hi, I messed up my grub somehow, and now I am trying to fix it, I'm on a live cd now, with grub in the terminal, how can I know which drives to select? here is a pic of the gparted screen http://i.imgur.com/RRv79.jpg from that screen I only want /sda2/ and /sda3/ for the boot
[00:10] <Jordan_U> Kip2: What problem are you actually having with grub?
[00:11] <Kip2> gives some device error or something on boot
[00:11] <Kip2> unrecognised file system or some thing
[00:11] <badger32d> kip2, thats an interesting partitioning scheme. Did it ever boot correctly?
[00:11] <_Wind> I attempted to install linux mint beside my windows XP asa dual-boot, and now I can't boot either of them...
[00:11] <Kip2> yeah..
[00:12] <esing> hi
[00:12] <esing> where can I find chromium-browser directory?
[00:12] <badger32d> kip2, you need to chroot in and reinstall grub from the livecd, not just reinstall. Standby for linky
[00:12] <esing> I deleted the symlink that is why I cant start chromium in gui
[00:12] <esing> someone knows?
[00:13] <Kip2> im on the live cd right now
[00:13] <badger32d> kip2, check out http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1499540
[00:13] <esing> kip2 what do you mean?
[00:13] <esing> hi badger32d u german?
[00:13] <bazhang> _Wind, is ubuntu related here somehow?
[00:13] <_Wind> can someone help me? I kind of screwed up. :\
[00:13] <esing> hi _wind
[00:13] <esing> hi bazhang from?
[00:13] <badger32d> esing try sudo find / -name chromium*, but my guess is it is in /opt
[00:13] <bazhang> _Wind, you said mint, which is not supported here
[00:13] <esing> badger32d i did laready
[00:13] <badger32d> esing, no - I'm not german
[00:13] <esing> thx i look /opt
[00:13] <bazhang> esing, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here
[00:14] <_Wind> but the problem isn't the OS
[00:14] <_Wind> and no one in the mint channels can solve it
[00:14] <esing> badger32d opt is empty
[00:14] <esing> in my OS
[00:14] <bazhang> _Wind, this is ubuntu support try mint support as its unsupported here and offtopic
[00:14] <VCoolio> esing: dpkg-query -L package to see where "package" installed it's files
[00:15] <bazhang> _Wind, all the more reason to never choose Mint
[00:15] <_Wind> I did try it, no one can help me... If I had told you I was trying to install ubuntu would you have helped? the OS isn't the problem :(
[00:15] <bazhang> _Wind, please dont ask any further.
[00:15] <mattt_> I've setup lvm on a raid0 array and have installed ubuntu, but the install process doesn't seem to generate the correct grub2 config - that is, it's missing modules lvm, mdraid, and raid.  It actually worked on a virtual machine, but it's not working on my physical machine.  How can I generate the correct grub2 setup?
[00:15] <badger32d> _Wind, yeah, but this is an *ubuntu* channel, not a "general os question" channel. Try www.google.com
[00:16] <esing> thx vcoolio
[00:16] <C1iFF> what is the program in Ubuntu that handles the look (icons, toolbar, window menu, etc.) I am having problems and hope restarting may help.
[00:16] <bazhang> !mintsupport | _Wind
[00:16] <Darxus> How do I enable / disable proprietary video drivers when X isn't working?
[00:16] <Darxus> I was using the open source nvidia driver (nouveau), enabled the proprietary driver, rebooted, and X won't load.
[00:16] <murchadh> _Wind: Try #grub. Could be a good start point.
[00:16] <Darxus> So I want to switch back to nouveau.  But I only know how to do it in X.
[00:17] <_Wind> murchadh, will try, thank you
[00:17] <badger32d> Darxus, can you get a command line?
[00:18] <|Kellan|> exit
[00:18] <DpinkyandDbrain> elitedev how do you edit a mounted system in the live cd?
[00:18] <Darxus> badger32d: Yes, I'm on the console on that computer now.
[00:18] <badger32d> Darxus: I would sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf - and in the "device" section, change the driver from nvidia to nouveau
[00:19] <Darxus> badger32d: I thought... well it's worth a try.
[00:19] <badger32d> Darxus: I *think* that should get you back into a gui.
[00:20] <jon8> whats the flag to remove a BINDED mount
[00:20] <Darxus> badger32d: That worked great, thanks a lot.
[00:21] <jon8> i just did 'mount --bind /home/user /home/ftpserver'
[00:21] <badger32d> Darxus: no problem man, good luck getting the nonfree drivers working.
[00:21] <jon8> and i want to remove it
[00:21] <jvirdo> did middle-click scroll behavior change for 10.04?
[00:21] <Darxus> badger32d: Thanks.  I had them working before....
[00:22] <jvirdo> i'm on a t400 thinkpad, and i recall middle-click scroll working in things like file browser windows and whatnot, whereas now middle-click only functions as paste
[00:22] <jvirdo> (although it scrolls in firefox, via tweaking things in about:config)
[00:22] <Darxus> "Sorry, installation of this driver failed."
[00:22] <psykatog> how do I check if my OS is recognizing a device?
[00:22] <psykatog> (external cdrw drive)
[00:22] <murchadh> DpinkyandDbrain: You could mount the filesystem and chroot into it, but that may not be what you mean. Mounting the partition is step one anyway. sudo mkdir /media/where_you_want_to_mount/  -and the- mount /dev/sd?_your_drive /media/where_you_want_to_mount/
[00:23] <chazbrown> @psykatog scanpci
[00:23] <esing> ok worked
[00:23] <esing> How can I add the created symlink to the menu?
[00:23] <badger32d> Darxus: has it failed before? I would sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-* then sudo apt-get autoclean, then try to reinstall. Thats what I had to do to a buddies machine a couple days ago
[00:23] <psykatog> chazbrown, as in, a terminal command?
[00:23] <chazbrown> @psykatog yeah, you might have to install it
[00:23] <esing> badger32d ._.
[00:24] <chazbrown> actually
[00:24] <chazbrown> even better do
[00:24] <chazbrown> @psykatog lspci
[00:24] <badger32d> psykatog - you can lsusb if is a usb drive, its easier
[00:24] <badger32d> chazbrown: lsusb if its an external drive, most likely usb
[00:24] <chazbrown> @badger32d oh i thought it was PCI nevermind
[00:25] <psykatog> it's an external cd drive, which uses up 2 usb ports...
[00:26] <badger32d> psykatog - yeah, try lsusb, you should see something that says usb cd drive. Also, check the disk utility in the administration menu, it should show up in there too
[00:26] <jvirdo> anyone else with scrolling problems on 10.04? :\
[00:27] <esing> How can I recreate a desktop configuration file?

[00:30] <boxbeatsy> hi, i'm trying to use pssh to execute simple commands across a bunch of servers, but i'm getting "[FAILURE} <ip> Received error code of 255".  The command i'm using is "pssh -h hosts.txt ls" where hosts.txt is a file containing 2 IP's that i can ssh into
[00:30] <boxbeatsy> does anyone know what i'md oing wrong?
[00:30] <fengxiaoxiao> ?????
[00:30] <fengxiaoxiao> i from china
[00:31] <sergiu_> fengxiaoxiao: I'm not ^^
[00:31] <boxbeatsy> lol
[00:31] <mattt_> What might cause a "timeout" at boot and a busybox prompt to come up?
[00:32] <badger32d> boxbeatsy - this is definately the wrong channel for that. I would check with the good saint google for help with that problem.
[00:32] <isnoop> Anyone know the cause & cure of "less" showing control characters instead of acting on them?
[00:32] <murchadh> mattt_: USB key, external drive, after that the suggestions get more and more scary.
[00:32] <isnoop> For example, pgdn simply displays "^[[6~"
[00:32] <DpinkyandDbrain> how do you use chroot?
[00:32] <chazbrown> sudo su -
[00:32] <chazbrown> oh chroot
[00:33] <chazbrown> you just do chroot /dir/to/be/root
[00:33] <boxbeatsy> badger32d: o ok.  i just thought it might be relevant to ubuntu's pssh package.  thanks!
[00:33] <mattt_> murchadh, I've just setup a raid0/lvm system.  I can mount it all when I boot to my old drive and the system seems properly installed.  I duplicated the setup on a VM and it booted fine.
[00:33] <badger32d> boxbeatsy: try - http://www.ubuntugeek.com/execute-commands-simultaneously-on-multiple-servers-using-psshcluster-sshmultixterm.html
[00:33] <murchadh> DpinkyandDbrain: mount the filesystem with the OS on it say - mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 and the chroot /media/sda1.
[00:34] <TimRiker> running netcat6 (nc6) on both maverick and lucid and it seems to be broken. it never looks for replies. can someone test this? ie: echo -n "GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n" | nc localhost 80   should get a reply. works with netcat, does not work with netcat6 even on ipv4 connections.
[00:34] <boxbeatsy> badger32d: oooo i think i got it.  thank you!
[00:35] <boxbeatsy> mmm nvm
[00:35] <badger32d> boxbeatsy: good luck
[00:35] <boxbeatsy> ok well it's a start, thanks
[00:35] <badger32d> boxbeatsy, pm me the error you are getting
[00:36] <murchadh> mattt_: Sounds like lvm might not be loading properly - but I don't boot RAID or lvm so I won't mess you about with any more 'mights'. Sorry!
[00:38] <DpinkyandDbrain> murchadh it doesnt seem to be working
[00:38] <esing> ok
[00:38] <esing> I need someones help

[00:40] <Aurelia> what's that?
[00:40] <esing> browser
[00:40] <esing> which distru u have aurealia?
[00:40] <TimRiker> can anyone try that with netcat6? You do NOT need to be setup with IPv6.  echo -n "GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n" | nc localhost 80  just need a local web server running.
[00:40] <badger32d> psykatog: did you check the disk manager under the administration menu?
[00:40] <NeS> Aurelia: what's the problem?
[00:40] <esing> badger32d hi
[00:40] <esing> hi nes
[00:40] <psykatog> I'm using kubuntu...
[00:40] <NeS> esing: hi
[00:40] <naryfa> hi
[00:40] <TimRiker> but similar issue is shown with this: nc localhost ssh   closes immediately with netcat6 but stays open correctly with netcat.
[00:41] <Aurelia> i need a quick favor. who wants to help me?
[00:41] <NeS> Aurelia: what's the problem?
[00:41] <esing> nes i need the content of your chromium-browser.desktop file in folder usr/share/applications
[00:41] <esing> hi nes
[00:41] <shaggy2> Aurelia: just state your problem and someone will help
[00:41] <esing> hi shaggy2

[00:43] <esing> shaggy2 why
[00:43] <esing> shaggy2 direct link is faster
[00:43] <shaggy2> to delete your file thats why
[00:43] <esing> shaggy2 yes
[00:43] <esing> shaggy2 i thought it was just a symlink
[00:43] <esing> shaggy2 some supervisor told me wrong
[00:43] <esing> shaggy2 iam very angry tho
[00:43] <esing> shaggy2 but now i have to recover
[00:43] <esing> shaggy2 can you give me the content of the file?
[00:43] <shaggy2> well I can not help you I have 10.10 server
[00:44] <esing> shaggy2 np thnx tho
[00:44] <esing> hi peterfa
[00:44] <badger32d> psykatog, huh - well it seems your system is not seeing it then. If lspci and lsusb dont show it, then you may have a problem getting it to work.
[00:44] <esing> peterfa go to folder usr/share/applications first
[00:45] <esing> peterfa still here?
[00:45] <esing> hi badger32d
[00:45] <esing> hi all
[00:45] <esing> badger32d from?
[00:45] <TimRiker> ah! netcat6 1.0-5 works. netcat6 1.0-6 (maverick) is broken. what's the easiest way to file a bug?
[00:45] <esing> hi timRiker
[00:45] <shaggy2> esing: ask like this, if anyone has chromium could I please get a copy of your system file for that application or could comeone please point me to where I can get the information
[00:45] <PeterFA> esing: I'm following you.
[00:46] <juk> !bug | TimRiker:
[00:46] <esing> PeterFA right click on chromium-browser.desktop file
[00:46] <esing> PeterFA open as leafpad
[00:46] <esing> PeterFA ctrl + a
[00:46] <shaggy2> !chromium | esing:
[00:47] <PeterFA> esing: I think you're answering a different question than what I asked.
[00:47] <VCoolio> esing: dude, just copy any file from /usr/share/applications and edit with your text editor, it's not that hard, or reinstall chromium-browser to get the files back
[00:47] <esing> PeterFA copy the text
[00:47] <esing> PeterFA and paste to pastebin.com
[00:47] <esing> then give me the link
[00:47] <VCoolio> esing: http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-0.9.4.html
[00:48] <shaggy2> esing: maybe reinstall chromium might be a btter option
[00:48] <esing> VCoolio I did this already
[00:48] <esing> VCoolio the Link works too
[00:48] <VCoolio> esing: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/328551/
[00:49] <esing> VCoolio But it doesnt show in menu ,...
[00:49] <PeterFA> esing: why would I do that to add stegdetect to my box?
[00:49] <shaggy2> open a shell window and sudo apt-get install update then sudo apt-get install upgrade
[00:49] <esing> haha thanks VCoolio
[00:49] <esing> Took nearly 10 minutes
[00:49] <esing> after one good guy gave it to me
[00:50] <esing> PeterFA I wanted you to give me a information I needed, not related to your problem (sry)
[00:50] <PeterFA> esing: oh.
[00:50] <VCoolio> esing: check the lines, you can create any .desktop file you like in ~/.local/share/applications, it's not hard
[00:51] <PeterFA> esing: why not just purge your installation and reinstall?
[00:51] <PeterFA> Because that requires no effort on my part.
[00:51] <esing> VCoolio ye but not the exact content as you just gave me ^^

[00:54] <abstrakt> anyone know if there's a plugin or addon for GNOME virtual desktops that will zoom out so you can see your desktops in a grid/row and then click on the one you want to "warp" to?
[00:54] <ariqz> ok, so I removed my old graphics card and am running ubuntu with just my built in video chipset on the mobo, and ubuntu isn't booting into gnome. Furthermore, when I start in safe mode and run with safe video drivers, gnomes still fails. How do I rectify this?
[00:54] <esing> thanks VCoolio
[00:54] <xangua> abstrakt: you mean compiz¿
[00:55] <esing> VCoolio Plus thanks for the awesome trick showing all directoites of dpkg
[00:55] <maco> abstrakt: if you use compiz (ie turn on visual effects) thatd be the Expo plugin
[00:55] <VCoolio> esing: no problem, hang out here and you'll learn plenty more
[00:55] <abstrakt> maco, great, yeah I have compiz on
[00:55] <esing> VCoolio ye I do
[00:55] <abstrakt> maco where do I go to turn on the Expo plugin?
[00:55] <abstrakt> s/turn on/use/ or whatever you wanna call it
[00:55] <esing> Vcoolio tonight no more much due in germany it is 02:00 a.m. ^^
[00:56] <maco> abstrakt: you have to have compizconfig-setings-settings-manager installed
[00:56] <ariqz> ok, so I removed my old graphics card and am running ubuntu with just my built in video chipset on the mobo, and ubuntu isn't booting into gnome. Furthermore, when I start in safe mode and run with safe video drivers, gnomes still fails. How do I rectify this?
[00:56] <esing> Vcoolio now Iam burning ubuntu10.10 and want it to install on my virtualbox :D ** hopefully it works ^^

[00:57] <esing> Vcoolio hmm didnt know this
[00:57] <maco> abstrakt: whoops
[00:57] <maco> IsmAvatar: is it USB or ESATA?
[00:57] <esing> Vcoolio I use linux since yesterday :P
[00:57] <TimRiker> this bug is on a remote machine. how do I report a bug on the web interface when ubuntu-bug is running on a machine without x etc.
[00:58] <IsmAvatar> maco: USB
[00:58] <VCoolio> esing: everyone needs to start some day; have fun, it's 2.00 for me too, going to bed
[00:58] <maco> IsmAvatar: i dont know why then
[00:58] <esing> Vcoolio but I learned very much in short time
[00:58] <esing> Vcoolio good night my friend
[00:58] <IsmAvatar> maco, would you know what the mount device name might be?
[00:58] <NeS> abstrakt: try super+e
[00:58] <abstrakt> NeS, what's that?
[00:58] <maco> IsmAvatar: ls /dev | grep sd
[00:59] <NeS> key shortcut
[00:59] <TimRiker> ah.. it gives a url if I try on the remote. :)
[00:59] <NeS> super as winkey
[00:59] <maco> IsmAvatar: first disk is /dev/sda, second is /dev/sdb, third is /dev/sdc
[00:59] <maco> IsmAvatar: /dev/sda1 is first partition on first disk, etc
[00:59] <ariqz> ok, so I removed my old graphics card and am running ubuntu with just my built in video chipset on the mobo, and ubuntu isn't booting into gnome. Furthermore, when I start in safe mode and run with safe video drivers, gnomes still fails. How do I rectify this?
[00:59] <IsmAvatar> maco: it's only listing my internal hard disks.
[00:59] <maco> IsmAvatar: tail -f /var/log/dmesg, then unplug and replug it. does it say anything new?
[01:00] <rusty149> IsmAvatar: df -l
[01:00] <IsmAvatar> maco: No--- but after I re-plugged it, it auto-mounted >_>
[01:00] <maco> ariqz: did your old card use a proprietary driver? if so it may have had a configured /etc/X11/xorg.conf  which is not needed or not right for your internal. try moving it to a different location (move, not delete, so you can get it back if needed)
[01:01] <thespawnman> i cant get sound out of all of the speakers on ubuntu 10.10

[01:14] <LaurenK> how do I use sticky keeys in ubuntu
[01:14] <bertmanphx> I have a question - A user has 10.04 installed, and NEEDS to keep the stock version of Thunderbird due to a compatibility problem with the Lightning plug-in.  Eventhough I locked the package, it STILL updates!  Could it be held in cache or something?
[01:14] <LaurenK> i need sticky keys
[01:14] <aeon-ltd> thespawnman: how many speakers do you have?
[01:14] <LaurenK> like if i push alt
[01:14] <LaurenK> i have to hold it down
[01:14] <gunndawg> good evening folks!
[01:14] <LaurenK> before i push F
[01:14] <LaurenK> and while i'm doing it
[01:15] <LaurenK> \and it's very distracting and drives me crazy

[01:16] <drt2484> Hello, I have a 2nd generation 4GB ipod that i cant mount on ubuntu. When i plug in the ipod nothing comes up,
[01:17] <psycho_oreos> drt2484, what sort of filesystem is it using? Apple or Windows?
[01:17] <drt2484> psycho_oreos: windows,
[01:18] <psycho_oreos> drt2484, pastebin (not paste) me the last 20 lines of your dmesg log
[01:18] <aeon-ltd> thespawnman: check all speakers outputs are maxed out in 'alsamixer'; tyoe 'alsamixer' into a termina;
[01:18] <arrrghhh> hey all.  finally got this dell laptop working, except for wifi.  it does have closed source drivers for the card, which i enabled.  nm-applet doesn't want to even scan for networks consistently.  so i installed wicd, and it always finds networks, but says my password is bad - when it most certainly is not.
[01:18] <thespawnman> aeon-ltd: ill ready checked they work in windows and i already maxed all levels in alsamixer
[01:19] <arrrghhh> i wonder if it's an issue with wpa... do i need to do anything other than the 'additional drivers' for wpa2?
[01:19] <aeon-ltd> thespawnman: desktop with a sound card?
[01:19] <thespawnman> aeon-ltd: yea
[01:19] <aeon-ltd> thespawnman: you may need a module loaded for it to work properly
[01:20] <psycho_oreos> arrrghhh, why not try the open source built-in kernel driver?
[01:20] <gunndawg> Anyone familiar with plymouth themes that could walk me thru installing a new one on ubuntu 10.10 ?
[01:20] <rusty149> arrrghhh: Have you tried the backports wireless kernel module
[01:20] <arrrghhh> psycho_oreos, when i started ubuntu there was no networks detected at all... there is no driver as i understand it.
[01:20] <thespawnman> aeon-ltd: it depends on the boot sometimes i get no sound at all and some times all 6 and i cant figure out whats been changing
[01:21] <psycho_oreos> arrrghhh, pastebin (not paste) me your lspci -nnk output
[01:21] <arrrghhh> rusty149, it's a broadcom card.  i haven't tried that.
[01:21] <arrrghhh> psycho_oreos, sure 1 sec
[01:21] <drt2484> psycho_oreos: http://paste.ubuntu.com/559751/   here
[01:21] <distatica> I would like to set things up so that when I press alt+left its the same as pressing ctrl+alt+f6, and alt+right to ctrl+alt+f8, anyone know how to do this off hand?
[01:22] <gunndawg> distatica thats just a matter of remapping ur key binds
[01:22] <psycho_oreos> drt2484, those aren't the last 20 lines :) there's no information about ipod being plugged in. Was it recently plugged in or was it plugged in when you turned on the computer?
[01:23] <drt2484> psycho_oreos: recently
[01:23] <drt2484> psycho_oreos: nothing seems to happen when i plug it in,
[01:23] <induz> I am using Goldendict on Lucid, how can i get Goldendict to be on its default look and size??

[01:23] <induz> Goldendict takes up my whole window
[01:23] <psycho_oreos> drt2484, unplug and plug it in, then pastebin me the last 20 lines
[01:24] <cahyo> hey what up??
[01:24] <drt2484> psycho_oreos: kk, 1 sec
[01:24] <distatica> gunndawg: that sounds about right, where do I do that?
[01:24] <cahyo> hey nice too meet you all
[01:24] <rusty149> arrrghhh: sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-wireless-maverick-generic

[01:24] <gunndawg> distatica, I am new to linux so I am not sure :(
[01:24] <psycho_oreos> arrrghhh, humm, there are some support for it but its quite minimal, it maybe supported through linux backports as rusty149 mentioned

[01:26] <cahyo> im learn to talk englisg
[01:26] <psycho_oreos> drt2484, hmm have you tried other usb ports? if dmesg isn't showing anything new then there might be issue with connectivity
[01:27] <cahyo> please
[01:27] <arrrghhh> cahyo, this isn't a channel for chat.  there's lots of other channels you can go to, like #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:28] <psycho_oreos> cahyo, this isn't a social channel to talk and learn about English. This is a support channel for ubuntu and predominantly for English speakers
[01:28] <arrrghhh> but i must reboot.  thanks guys
[01:28] <blocky> Can someone tell me why, when I run the usb-creator on windows 7, the iso file I select with the file picker doesn't show up in the list?

[01:32] <psycho_oreos> cahyo, and no that wasn't the output that I requested, I wanted lspci -nnk output
[01:33] <drt2484> psycho_oreos: i have tried other ports, dmesg shows nothing new,. it shows new stuff when i plug/unplug other devices,  but not the ipod
[01:34] <cahyo> how it hhe?
[01:34] <psycho_oreos> drt2484, that's really unusual, it seems like linux kernel isn't able to enumerate your ipod. Are you sure you are seeing the last few lines of dmesg rather than on top, or somewhere in between etc?
[01:35] <veovis_muaddib> I just got an iPod nano, the new crap with no buttons.  I'm trying to sync with my virtualbox install.  I installed the non-open source version, and enabled usb for my VM.  All USB options were greyed out.  I then saw an error telling me to download an extension, so I installed that.  Still greyed out.  I then saw that I need to add myself to the vboxusers group, so I did that.  Still greyed out.   Can anyone give me any tips on how to get mp3directcut to record sound/streaming sound in wine in Mint 10 oem? It plays mp3s ok but even though I have installed lame + mpglib for mp3directcut in wine I still can't get mp3directcut to record sound
[01:35] <lemonpartydotorg> hi
[01:35] <cahyo> hi too lemon :)
[01:35] <lemonpartydotorg> I have a question about wine
[01:35] <psycho_oreos> !English| cahyo
[01:35] <cahyo> yes sir.. :)
[01:36] <lemonpartydotorg> I mounted a bin/cue image, but cant seem to install the software
[01:36] <abstrakt> omg, that was so fail... I have a separate storage partition mounted on /media/LinuxUser in Ubuntu 10.10 ... I can start rails apps when the files are physically located on my regular system drive in /home/myself/Sites/somerailsapp.com using script/server, but when I copy those files over to /media/LinuxUser I get bash: permission denied when trying to run script/server anyone have ideas on why that would be? I'm using rvm and I'm just doing eve
[01:36] <abstrakt> rything as my normal user and /media/LinuxUser is owned by me (my normal user account) and I can manually create files in there and delete them and change perms
[01:36] <cahyo> hei r do you know icon.pln.net?
[01:36] <lemonpartydotorg> I can see it mounted on the deskotp but cant run the install
[01:37] <lemonpartydotorg> in Wine
[01:37] <veovis_muaddib> lemonpartydotorg: What is the application?
[01:37] <lemonpartydotorg> it is a CBT
[01:37] <DeezeNuts> How do i install JDownloader in Ubuntu
[01:37] <DeezeNuts> this is confusing
[01:37] <veovis_muaddib> lemonpartydotorg: Check the WINE App DB for compatibility
[01:38] <lemonpartydotorg> it tries to run an exe, then a box opens and dissapears
[01:38] <veovis_muaddib> DeezeNuts: It's not too bad, did you download jd.sh?
[01:38] <DeezeNuts> Yes
[01:38] <drt2484> psycho_oreos: im sure dude, i did watch dmesg | tail, and i could see usb disconnects and stuff when i plugged/unplugged other stuff
[01:38] <veovis_muaddib> kk, where is it DeezeNuts
[01:38] <DeezeNuts> in Jdownloader.zip
[01:38] <psycho_oreos> veovis_muaddib, hmm have you tried asking this in #vbox support channel?
[01:38] <DeezeNuts> r wait
[01:38] <psycho_oreos> drt2484, but nothing with ipod itself? no disconnect/connects?
[01:39] <veovis_muaddib> psycho_oreos: Nope, thought I'd try here first in case it was ubuntu specific, Thanks for the channel name though
[01:39] <drt2484> psycho_oreos: i tried looking at all the devices in /dev too but nothing relates to the ipod
[01:39] <DeezeNuts> I have jdownloader.exe
[01:39] <DeezeNuts> jdownloader.jar
[01:39] <drt2484> psycho_oreos: no nothing with the ipod, though it starts charging
[01:39] <DeezeNuts> jupdate.jar
[01:39] <DeezeNuts> inside of jdownloader.zip
[01:39] <DeezeNuts> i see no jd.sh
[01:39] <veovis_muaddib> DeezeNuts: JDownloader.exe is a Windows executable.  What you want to do is go back to the site and download the one labeled Linux
[01:40] <psycho_oreos> veovis_muaddib, nw I'm a little clueless on that. I know that the non-ose does support USB but I didn't know that you had to this and that to make it work
[01:40] <veovis_muaddib> Type my name when you've done that
[01:40] <xangua> DeezeNuts: why not add the ppa¿¿ google jdownloader ppa
[01:40] <DeezeNuts> veovis_muaddib, i did
[01:40] <lemonpartydotorg> CBT nuggets is not in teh Wine app DB
[01:40] <lemonpartydotorg> now what?
[01:40] <cahyo> hei hei in my region now hots with FIRESHEEP
[01:40] <DeezeNuts> but i dont know why the hell is a .exe
[01:40] <DeezeNuts> in this zip
[01:40] <DeezeNuts> this isnt the windows one
[01:40] <lemonpartydotorg> is it just supposed to run?
[01:40] <dl2agon> how can you tell what kernal you have installed ?
[01:40] <psycho_oreos> drt2484, it won't show up in /dev if linux kernel can't enumerate :) it won't even show up under lsusb. Have you tried plugging that ipod with that same cable to other computers?
[01:40] <veovis_muaddib> psycho_oreos: Yeah, I never knew it was this bad
[01:40] <DeezeNuts> oh wait
[01:40] <DeezeNuts> veovis_muaddib,
[01:41] <DeezeNuts> i downloaded a multi os zip
[01:41] <veovis_muaddib> lemonpartydotorg: If it's not in the App DB then you're treading untested waters
[01:41] <veovis_muaddib> DeezeNuts: Ah
[01:41] <lemonpartydotorg> oh ok
[01:41] <lemonpartydotorg> thanks!
[01:41] <oneliner> ja! love the super cow powers of apt-get
[01:41] <DeezeNuts> im not sure which package is the linux one

[01:41] <veovis_muaddib> DeezeNuts: One sec...
[01:41] <bawn> how do i end a process in the terminal
[01:42] <drt2484> psycho_oreos: yes, i tried it on another laptop under windows on ubuntu live cd, neither os mounted it
[01:42] <veovis_muaddib> bawn:  Control+C usually works, what is it?
[01:42] <psycho_oreos> drt2484, and what about under windows? presumably it worked?
[01:42] <drt2484> psycho_oreos: no, nothing came up at least when i plugged it in
[01:42] <bawn> just need to end a process in a native terminal, not emulate
[01:43] <drt2484> psycho_oreos: i just got it used from ebay,
[01:43] <psycho_oreos> drt2484, then my guess is that the cable might be faulty or the connectors on the ipod
[01:43] <drt2484> psycho_oreos: so perhaps there is something wrong with it
[01:43] <veovis_muaddib> DeezeNuts: Download this: http://<IP_ADDRESS>/jd.sh and put it in Documents/JDownloader
[01:43] <drt2484> psycho_oreos: umm ok thnx, il try a different cable later
[01:44] <DeezeNuts> K
[01:44] <arch_is_awesome> Hey is there any type of bittorent indexing software I can put on my webserver?
[01:44] <veovis_muaddib> DeezeNuts: Then open Terminal, and type this:  sudo chmod +x Documents/JDownloader/jd.sh
[01:44] <psycho_oreos> drt2484, normally this shouldn't happen. I have 5.5g ipod (video) and it was quickly picked up as soon as I plug it into my xubuntu computer. The other thing to consider about is unpowered/underpowered USB ports
[01:44] <drt2484> psycho_oreos: well i tried different usb ports,
[01:44] <bawn> what is the command i type into terminal to shut down a specific program
[01:45] <drt2484> psycho_oreos: and the same pc picks up a 160bg ipod,
[01:45] <veovis_muaddib> DeezeNuts: Then, since you're using Gnome I assume, ask people how to add it to the menus, I'm out of practice on Gnome
[01:45] <psycho_oreos> drt2484, yeah but are they through a non-powered HUB or maybe through USB 1.1 port on the laptop/computer?
[01:45] <bawn> what is the command i type into terminal to shut down a specific program
[01:46] <psycho_oreos> bawn, pkill <program>
[01:46] <bawn> lemme try it out
[01:46] <DeezeNuts> Ok command complete
[01:46] <DeezeNuts> now what veovis_muaddib
[01:46] <veovis_muaddib> DeezeNuts: Then, since you're using Gnome I assume, ask people how to add it to the menus, I'm out of practice on Gnome
[01:46] <DeezeNuts> ok
[01:46] <veovis_muaddib> DeezeNuts: When you run jd.sh, it will update and then run
[01:46] <bawn> it  worked, psycho_oreos, thank you
[01:47] <psycho_oreos> drt2484, hmm and the 160GB ipod I presume has been picked up under linux right? if so then yes something is faulty with that other ipod you purchased. Its either the cable or the connectors on the ipod itself
[01:47] <psycho_oreos> bawn, nw
[01:47] <veovis_muaddib> Updates come out so frequently for JDownloader that it's not worth it to use Ubuntu's package manager, their updater is easiest...  DeezeNuts
[01:47] <DeezeNuts> yea
[01:47] <DeezeNuts> I have used it on windows
[01:47] <DeezeNuts> i know how it is
[01:47] <veovis_muaddib> Yeah
[01:47] <drt2484> psycho_oreos: the same usb port that works for my usb keyboard wont work with the ipod, i dont think the ports are non-powered. also they are all 2.0.  yes the 160gb was picked up.
[01:47] <DeezeNuts> so the linux version for JDownloader has no GUI?
[01:47] <drt2484> psycho_oreos: i think ur right
[01:48] <veovis_muaddib> DeezeNuts: No, it's the same GUI
[01:48] <drt2484> psycho_oreos: i will try another cable,
[01:48] <DeezeNuts> Oh ok
[01:48] <veovis_muaddib> I've been begging for a version with no gui though, that I could control remotely.  :P
[01:48] <psycho_oreos> drt2484, if that other cable fails to work (and hopefully you have also tried using that exact same cable to plug into 160GB ipod) then its the connectors on the ipod that is pretty much broken
[01:49] <DeezeNuts> ok its working
[01:49] <DeezeNuts> thanks veovis
[01:49] <veovis_muaddib> DeezeNuts: No problem, glad to help
[01:49] <DeezeNuts> I love this channel
[01:49] <drt2484> psycho_oreos: ok, thnx
[01:49] <lwizardl> hello
[01:49] <psycho_oreos> drt2484, nw
[01:49] <veovis_muaddib> DeezeNuts: Have you tried using Flashgot in Firefox?  You can make all downloads automatically go through JDownloader
[01:49] <veovis_muaddib> It's pretty cool
[01:50] <lwizardl> anyone here know much about setting up a ftp server on ubuntu ?
[01:50] <arch_is_awesome> So,
[01:50] <drt2484> lwizardl: kinda
[01:50] <DeezeNuts> veovis_muaddib, i plan to
[01:50] <veovis_muaddib> lwizardl: Yeah, what's the problem?
[01:50] <veovis_muaddib> DeezeNuts: Good
[01:51] <arch_is_awesome> Does anyone know?
[01:51] <arch_is_awesome> Just to make sure... "Hey is there any type of bittorent indexing software I can put on my webserver?"
[01:51] <lwizardl> I am trying to setup a ftp server on a computer so I can transfer files off these drives and to on another machine
[01:51] <bazhang> arch_is_awesome, a tracker?
[01:52] <lwizardl> veovis_muaddib, what application would be best ?
[01:52] <arch_is_awesome> Kind of, but more like ebookvortex.com
[01:52] <arch_is_awesome> bazhang, yes, a private tracker
[01:52] <veovis_muaddib> lwizardl: I use vsftp, it's pretty well documented
[01:52] <rww> a private tracker with too high of a server load, apparently.
[01:52] <veovis_muaddib> lwizardl: If you are only using this once though ssh might be better...
[01:52] <lwizardl> I have vsftp installed but I am not able to get a server up yet
[01:53] <veovis_muaddib> lwizardl: Are you following a guide?
[01:53] <lwizardl> veovis_muaddib, well maybe 4 times
[01:53] <veovis_muaddib> FTP always makes me bash my head against the wall :P
[01:53] <lwizardl> veovis_muaddib, yeah and it doesn't seem to be well writen
[01:53] <veovis_muaddib> link please lwizardl?
[01:53] <lwizardl> sec
[01:53] <blocky> anybody know about the windows USB creator app that comes on the ubuntu iso?
[01:54] <blocky> why won't it recognize the latest ubuntu amd64 iso
[01:54] <arch_is_awesome> bazhang, do you know the answer?
[01:54] <bazhang> arch_is_awesome, no idea sorry.
[01:54] <lwizardl> http://cviorel.easyblog.ro/2009/03/05/how-to-setup-vsftpd-ftp-on-ubuntu-linux/
[01:55] <drt2484> lwizardl: i use ftpd, i can help u configure it if u want
[01:55] <psycho_oreos> blocky, why not use unetbootin instead?
[01:56] <lwizardl> drt2484, sure
[01:57] <blocky> psycho_oreos, didn't know it existed. I will try it now. I wonder why they include usb-creator on the cd haha
[01:58] <psycho_oreos> blocky, *shrugs* there's almost always an alternative somewhere else
[01:58] <drt2484> lwizardl: but wats the issue ur having with vsftpd
[01:58] <Blueleaf> ubuntu died on me, please help
[01:59] <blocky> psycho_oreos thanks, appears to be working
[01:59] <lwizardl> drt2484, when trying to set the conf file and then start the server it errors. I have removed and re installed 5 times so far for the vsftp
[01:59] <psycho_oreos> Blueleaf, how did it die on you?
[01:59] <Blueleaf> i updated and now ubuntu wont load, how do i fix it?
[01:59] <psycho_oreos> blocky, then it should work :) hopefully
[01:59] <veovis_muaddib> Okay, no one's answering in #vbox, in fact, no activity at all.  Is there another way I could sync my new iPod Nano from linux?  I wanted to keep my iTunes smart playlists, but I guess I can manually do it.
[01:59] <drt2484> lwizardl: oh, i would just install ftpd
[01:59] <psycho_oreos> Blueleaf, you're not being specific. What did you update?
[02:00] <ubuntu> switch to mint...ubuntu sucks...died on me too...
[02:00] <drt2484> lwizardl: i dont think theres any configuration u need to do,
[02:00] <veovis_muaddib> Blueleaf: Also, where does ubuntu stop loading?
[02:00] <drt2484> lwizardl: unless u want anonymous access
[02:00] <ubuntu> mint has been no.1 by ALOT the past 6 mths
[02:00] <veovis_muaddib> Blueleaf: When it doesn't load, can you press Control+Alt+F1?
[02:00] <psycho_oreos> !offtopic| ubuntu
[02:00] <Blueleaf> not sure, the update manager came up and said i need to update
[02:01] <Blueleaf> havent tried control alt f1, whats it do
[02:01] <ubuntu> kk
[02:01] <lwizardl> drt2484, nope, I just want to setup a user/pass and then set the directories so i can transfer out the files
[02:01] <psycho_oreos> Blueleaf, brings up console/terminal
[02:01] <veovis_muaddib> It brings you to a fullscreen virtual terminal, with no GUI
[02:01] <ubuntu> no
[02:01] <ubuntu> thats rubbish
[02:01] <kanthbc> hi guys im using ubuntu and since yesterday left click of my mouse is not working what to do?
[02:01] <Blueleaf> when it loads it say file not found cant load fonts
[02:01] <ubuntu> unless your alt and f and 1 have virii
[02:02] <veovis_muaddib> ubuntu: The F1 key, not F and 1
[02:02] <lwizardl> drt2484, ok can i pm you ?
[02:02] <ubuntu> yea and your -
[02:02] <ubuntu> also
[02:02] <Blueleaf> all i want is to get my config files back
[02:02] <ubuntu> :)
[02:02] <drt2484> lwizardl: yh
[02:02] <Aleiex> hi, empathy doesn't connect anymore
[02:03] <Aleiex> could someone help me?
[02:03] <veovis_muaddib> Blueleaf: You can do that from the terminal.   Random comments like that aren't helpful.
[02:04] <ubuntu> aite aite
[02:04] <ubuntu> sry
[02:04] <veovis_muaddib> ubuntu: It could be losing them money not being able to speak to clients
[02:04] <chazbrown> money?
[02:04] <chazbrown> on linux?
[02:04] <ubuntu> lol veo
[02:04] <chazbrown> lol
[02:04] <Blueleaf> i will reboot and get better info for you and try alt ctrl f1
[02:05] <veovis_muaddib> Blueleaf: Okay, thanks
[02:05] <Freddy2> hi
[02:05] <notanick>  hello
[02:05] <veovis_muaddib> chazbrown: Plenty of businesses use linux as workstations, and most use linux for servers.
[02:05] <psycho_oreos> chazbrown, some people may use it for business purposes, and if things don't work its much the same on any other platforms. People cannot communicate, clients cannot ask and therefore leave. Person loss money
[02:05] <kanthbc> hey anybody there?
[02:05] <chazbrown> sure i work at a hosting company...
[02:05] <chazbrown> dont have to tell me that
[02:05] <chazbrown> :P
[02:05] <Freddy2> i'm trying to install 10.10 from desktop-i386 iso (in a cd) and always get blocked in the new user screen (the next button never gets enabled).. why?
[02:06] <NinoScript> ubuntu: omg, I thought you were just an operating system
[02:06] <psycho_oreos> then you didn't need to `lol' at how money on linux doesn't exist
[02:06] <chazbrown> i did need to lol
[02:06] <chazbrown> cuz i wanted to
[02:06] <notanick> I just got a BSOD on Windows7... I hadn't seen a blue screen in so long... but some things never change
[02:06] <chazbrown> and it was lol, cuz empathy makes no money
[02:06] <ubuntu> ur ramfs is meshed upp with your rootfs and bios
[02:06] <chazbrown> so let me lol and just GTFO this
[02:06] <ubuntu> notjk
[02:06] <rww> ubottu: ot
[02:06] <psycho_oreos> !language| chazbrown
[02:07] <notanick> I'm glad my other disk is Ubuntu, yay
[02:07] <ubuntu> it should be linuxmint
[02:07] <veovis_muaddib> notanick: That's why my non-windows partitions are mounted as read only in windows
[02:07] <ubuntu> :D
[02:07] <notanick> veo: indeed
[02:07] <WeThePeople> rww, can i pm you
[02:07] <veovis_muaddib> ubuntu: I'm not preaching Arch, no need for you to preach mint...
[02:08] <psycho_oreos> ubuntu, you've been warned to not discuss about mint linux
[02:08] <ubuntu> k
[02:08] <ubuntu> last statement
[02:08] <ubuntu> mandriva is still my fave
[02:08] <ubuntu> now its
[02:08] <WeThePeople> rww,nvr mind
[02:08] <ubuntu> mageia
[02:08] <ubuntu> :(
[02:08] <notanick> now I am going to have to mount my Win7 disk in Ubuntu (easy of course) and back that sucker up.
[02:08] <rww> ubuntu: come back in 10 minutes, preferably more on-topic
[02:09] <psycho_oreos> rww, thanks :)
[02:10] <notanick> Anybody know about TLER (time limited error recovery) for WD drives with RAID cards?  May be ot, but I'm just wondering.  More of a hardware thing actyually
[02:10] <notanick> -y
[02:11]  * notanick will brb
[02:11] <rww> notanick: might want to ask in ##hardware, they'd be more likely to know that sort of thing
[02:11] <intok> Whats the best way to rip an uncompressed .iso of a dvd, I don't want to transcode to another format, just back it up.
[02:12] <rww> intok: I've used the 'dvdbackup' package for that
[02:12] <notanick> ok rww, ty
[02:13]  * notanick didn't know aboutz #hardware... goes away
[02:14] <notanick> bah, #hardware is invite only, oh well
[02:14] <veovis_muaddib> Crap, the 6G nano changed the way it syncs so you can't sync with anything but iTunes right now.  So back to hoping someone knows about USB in Virtualbox...
[02:14] <rww> notanick: 1) ##hardware. two hashes. 2) you need to be identified with nickserv to join, apparently
[02:15] <notanick> ah, oops, I didn't see other hash mark
[02:15] <notanick> k
[02:15] <notanick> ty
[02:15] <ugarit> I'm trying to install 10.10 via cd that I know is bootable but for some reason my dell E6400 doesn't see at as bootable, even a flash drive is not bootable. what am I missing?
[02:16] <veovis_muaddib> ugarit: How did you make them?
[02:16] <madsailor> veovis_muaddib, make sure you have the PUEL Virtualbox or USB is disabled
[02:16] <notanick> lol hello arrrrgh
[02:16] <arrrghhh> howdy..
[02:16] <notanick> is that the castle thereof?
[02:17] <arrrghhh> psycho_oreos, any other ideas...?  i tried every level of security, always said 'bad password' in wicd.
[02:17] <ugarit> veovis_muaddib via cd burner on mac os x.  I know they are bootable because when I use them on other computers they are recognized as bootable
[02:17] <veovis_muaddib> madsailor: Yeah, I have that, and the additional extension that allows USB2, and I've added myself to the vboxusers group, with a bunch of logouts inbetween
[02:17] <isO> fighting of my
[02:17] <notanick> ugarit, sounds like a bios security/protection thing?
[02:18] <veovis_muaddib> ugarit: I know flash drives are a pain to put Ubuntu on from OS X
[02:18] <madsailor> veovis_muaddib, Ahh..then you have delved further than I...good luck
[02:18] <notanick> ugarit, or does it try to spin the disk but won't boot?  Have you tried other bootables in the same optical drive?
[02:18] <ugarit> notanick but windows 7 cd is recognized as bootable !
[02:18] <veovis_muaddib> madsailor: Thanks for the attempt :P
[02:18] <psycho_oreos> arrrghhh, pastebin (not paste) me again your lspci -nnk output. Hopefully you should by now have brcm80211 driver available under available kernel modules
[02:18] <notanick> ugarit, k
[02:18] <veovis_muaddib> madsailor: Wrong smiley, oh well.
[02:19] <arrrghhh> psycho_oreos, http://paste.ubuntu.com/559753/
[02:19] <Jordan_U> ugarit: Are you sure that it's not just a CDROM drive that has problems, possibly not as bad when reading pressed rather than burned CDs?
[02:19] <WeThePeople> ugarit, is your dell set to boot from cd
[02:19] <madsailor> veovis_muaddib, no prob, wrong answer;)
[02:19] <psycho_oreos> arrrghhh, humm bugger, it still has wl available, I suppose you've rebooted after installing linux-backports?
[02:20] <Aleiex> is windows live down?
[02:20] <psycho_oreos> !offtopic| Aleiex
[02:21] <arrrghhh> psycho_oreos, oh yea.  i rebooted and then proceeded to try basically every type of authentication i could find in the router....
[02:21] <arrrghhh> i also had to install the headers, but no biggie... it threw an error without them.
[02:22] <WeThePeople> what is terminal code to see details about my computer
[02:22] <veovis_muaddib> WeThePeople: Depends on what you want to see
[02:22] <arrrghhh> don't see why apt-get didn't pickup the dependency, oh well.  i just want to be able to use this wireless card.
[02:22] <arrrghhh> i guess i should try open
[02:22] <psycho_oreos> arrrghhh, hmm :/ you might need to do this manually, manually grabbing the latest compat-wireless and compiling that, which should hopefully has brcm80211
[02:22] <rww> WeThePeople: what sort of details?
[02:22] <veovis_muaddib> WeThePeople: LSPCI perhaps?
[02:22] <arrrghhh> that just doesn't seem like an option tho haha
[02:22] <veovis_muaddib> WeThePeople: *lspci
[02:23] <arrrghhh> psycho_oreos, i guess i should check broadcom's website, but i have a feeling i'm going to be let down.
[02:23] <WeThePeople> rww, as much as possible
[02:23] <WeThePeople> rww, i am doing overclock
[02:23] <rww> WeThePeople: I'm not sure how that relates, but... sudo lxhs
[02:23] <rww> ... sudo lshw **
[02:23]  * rww fails at keyboard
[02:24] <psycho_oreos> arrrghhh, no there isn't the support for that is driver specific. There is support for that chipset via brcm80211 but its to be merged into 2.6.37 kernel iirc which only natty (11.04) will have
[02:24]  * veovis_muaddib fails at writing more than rww fails at keyboard, so it's okay
[02:24] <arrrghhh> oic.  kinda early to install that...
[02:24] <psycho_oreos> WeThePeople, I think there's also that lshal command
[02:24] <notanick> lol rww, nah.  I like it lxhs... list XML history?
[02:24]  * notanick smacks forehead
[02:24] <veovis_muaddib> notanick: lol
[02:24] <psycho_oreos> arrrghhh, the issue is also the use of broadcom's sta driver, notably wl, which is quite flaky and not verbose when it comes to debugging
[02:26] <arrrghhh> psycho_oreos, i really do detest anything broadcom.  as my friend put it "they're the yugo of the network card world"
[02:26] <WeThePeople> rww, thx lol so much info
[02:26] <rww> I have a broadcom 4312. Sounds about right.
[02:26] <Pokinawa> hello
[02:26] <psycho_oreos> arrrghhh, they are slowly opening up :) but I guess its `too little too late' sort of affair
[02:26] <veovis_muaddib> arrrghhh: Try getting broadcom working in Arch.  Recompile every kernel update.
[02:27] <veovis_muaddib> :P
[02:27] <arrrghhh> oy.  that sounds painful!
[02:27] <psycho_oreos> that's using wl driver you mean :) having a header linking to binary blob
[02:27] <veovis_muaddib> psycho_oreos: Yeah
[02:27] <notanick> wow, recompile every kern update... ugh-o-matic
[02:28] <psycho_oreos> veovis_muaddib, sadly that's the generic case :) I loathe at the sound of wl.. its what broadcom initially brought out to linux support as
[02:28] <veovis_muaddib> psycho_oreos: Yeah, now I check any laptop/netbook people buy if they want me to put linux on it.  Hopefully before they buy :P
[02:29] <psycho_oreos> veovis_muaddib, best way is to carry a liveCD/DVD/USB of some recently updated linux distro and to test :)
[02:30] <psycho_oreos> the alternative is that you can swap out those wireless cards pending on the make of the laptop
[02:30] <veovis_muaddib> psycho_oreos: Yeah, but a lot of my local retailers cover all the usb ports and have bios locks on the display models
[02:30] <veovis_muaddib> psycho_oreos: Normally I have to ask to open a box
[02:30] <Blueleaf> okay, my machine has a dual boot with windows
[02:30] <psycho_oreos> arrrghhh, I'm sure soon enough someone will write up a big forum post on howto get brcm80211 to work but afaik its been noted bcm4313 does work with brcm80211
[02:31] <veovis_muaddib> Blueleaf: Good.  Did you get anywhere
[02:31] <Blueleaf> when i boot i get: try (hd0.0) NTFS: no uubild
[02:31] <Blueleaf> try (hdo.1) NTFSS:
[02:31] <veovis_muaddib> Blueleaf: Sounds like an /etc/fstab problem
[02:31] <Blueleaf> boot failed.
[02:31] <ejv> how do I remove apache2 from auto startup upon reboot?
[02:31] <ejv> thx.
[02:32] <Blueleaf> how do i fix
[02:32] <veovis_muaddib> It's trying to mount NTFS partitions.  But it shouldn't fail if they don't mount
[02:32] <psycho_oreos> veovis_muaddib, lol I'd give them the stance of `I am the boss, obey what I desire or you lose a customer' :) Its inevitable that alternative platform users have to cop the slack but at least being the customer, they can still make a smart move
[02:32] <ariqz> is it possible to remotely turn on a computer with some signal to ethernet adapter or anything?
[02:32] <Blueleaf> ctl alt f1 freezes a screen but no command prompt
[02:32] <veovis_muaddib> Blueleaf: Interesting...
[02:32] <psycho_oreos> ariqz, yeah its known as WOL (Wake On LAN)
[02:32] <veovis_muaddib> ariqz: Look up WOL
[02:32] <veovis_muaddib> Beat me to it
[02:32] <ariqz> thanks
[02:33] <psycho_oreos> :)
[02:33] <Blueleaf> i cant see the partition from windows so i cant find files that way
[02:33] <ubuntu> never ever aloow WOL enabled
[02:34] <Blueleaf> if i reinstall will it overwrite all my files
[02:34] <ubuntu> virus entrypoint
[02:34] <psycho_oreos> Blueleaf, that's the catch with windows, they support less than a handful of filesystems
[02:34] <veovis_muaddib> Blueleaf: Chances are your ubuntu partitions are ext4 unless you did them manually, and Windows and OS X have problems reading them even with third party drivers
[02:34] <veovis_muaddib> Blueleaf: What you could do is attach an external drive and then boot from the install cd
[02:34] <veovis_muaddib> But choose try Ubuntu instead of install Ubuntu
[02:34] <veovis_muaddib> Then copy everything over
[02:35] <arrrghhh> psycho_oreos, i found a guide on compiling brcm80211 driver.  i guess i'll try that and see how it goes.
[02:36] <Blueleaf> i tried that but i think i had the wrong distro, i think mine was 10.4 and i have 10.10, i am guessing i need the same distro, huh?
[02:36] <veovis_muaddib> No, it shouldn't matter
[02:36] <ubuntu> when u choose try ubuntu everything on the hdd becomes ab ROFS folder
[02:36] <ubuntu> cant copy or write anything
[02:36] <psycho_oreos> arrrghhh, good luck and hopefully the link does point to the later versions of compat-wireless :) fyi some info about brcm80211 maybe found here: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/brcm80211
[02:36] <veovis_muaddib> ubuntu, trying to back up, not change
[02:37] <ubuntu> k
[02:37] <jon_athon> So, since upgrading to 10.4, I've noticed that if I have items on each virtual desktop that I'm required to log in for as many desktops as there are items on... is this a known bug?
[02:37] <veovis_muaddib> Sorry Blueleaf, I have to go.  Ask someone how to back up Ubuntu from install disk if you have trouble
[02:37] <jon_athon> that is, when i wake it up from screen saver I have to do that
[02:43] <notanick> ejv, does it show up in services?
[02:46] <notanick> ejv, try "sudo service --status-all" and see if it's there, then you can disable/enable it
[02:47] <Guest98678> hey
[02:47] <notanick> hello Guest98678
[02:47] <python_> I'm running into a problem with my sound I have a intel motherboard that has the sound disabled in the bios and a Audigy 2 Platinum sound card that wont work
[02:47] <python_> I've even tried using the motherboard and still nothing
[02:48] <python_> does anyone know of any sound drivers
[02:48] <python_> cause I tried all the things all the forms and still in a dead end
[02:51] <python_> or does anyone have any idea
[02:51] <craigbass1976> how come when I ssh -X -C host  and then do a firefox, a local version of firefox is fired up, rather than a version that on host?  This only happens sometimes.  Trying to find a rhyme or reason, but it hasn't occured to me yet
[02:51] <craigbass1976> I just fired up gedit from host and confirmed that the files I was looking at to open are in fact on that server
[02:52] <craigbass1976> If I'm running firefox locally, will that screw things up?
[02:52] <notanick> craigbass1976, I have seen that too.  Maybe try a ssh -Y
[02:53] <craigbass1976> notanick, the aggravating thing is that it's sometimes.  Have you noticed it more when you've got ff running locally as well as trying to fire it up remotely?
[02:53] <craigbass1976> notanick, elinks isn't quite cutting it...
[02:53] <nm5tf> is anyone able to run Dangerdeep for longer than 5 minutes without getting a SIGSEGV error???
[02:53] <notanick> craigbass1976, yes, that's my recollection.. hrm, been a few weeks since I saw it
[02:54] <chazbrown> @craigbass1976 isnt -X x11 forwarding, which would open it locally, but be run under the remote severs user... i believe
[02:54] <notanick> craigbass1976, try shutting down your local browser.
[02:54] <Geko> hey everyone is this the ubuntu channel
[02:55] <tumbleweed_> yes
[02:55] <craigbass1976> chazbrown, notanick not sure, but I think I just confirmed that if there aren't any local versions of firefox running, I'm all set.  This does not hold true, however, with gedit.  I had a local one running, and fired up a remote instance no problem
[02:55] <Geko> thanks tumble
[02:55] <notanick> chazbrown, yep, but the remote firefox still interacts with the local X server, and the X server stuff for ff reads something and says" hey, you should run this locally"
[02:55] <craigbass1976> ahhh....
[02:55] <Geko> listen i have a problem iam running a 64 bit ubuntu installtion
[02:55] <craigbass1976> notanick, and gedit doesn't?
[02:55] <Geko> now i am trying to configure compiz
[02:55] <chazbrown> oh i see
[02:55] <notanick> craigbass1976, not that I have seen
[02:56] <Geko> specifically the burn effect
[02:56] <Geko> when i try to make changes
[02:56] <Geko> it dosn't take effect
[02:56]  * craigbass1976 facepalm
[02:56]  * notanick throws hands up about interactions with gconf and such, hrm
[02:56] <notanick> lol
[02:56] <Geko> for some reason
[02:56]  * shaggy2 shoots notanick with a Nail Gun!!
[02:56] <Geko> what can i do to resolve this issure
[02:56] <notanick> noooo
[02:56] <craigbass1976> shaggy2, careful with those; I work at a lumber yard and have several horror stories...
[02:56] <notanick> craigbass1976, yah, I've only seen  that with firefox
[02:57] <shaggy2> I once was a cabinet maker... try and guys why I am not now
[02:57] <Geko> can anyone help with my problem
[02:57] <mkf00> geko
[02:58] <mkf00> you maybe have to restart the X first..
[02:58] <craigbass1976> notanick, how about epiphany, seen issues with that?  my other issue is that ff keeps kind of locking up.  screen goes dark, but if I wait a minute it will revive
[02:58] <nm5tf> geko: try stating your problem all on 1 line & maybe someone will take a look
[02:58] <Geko> sure
[02:59]  * notanick has an idea... try disabling the gconfd server
[02:59] <craigbass1976> notanick, any idea what the lightest lightweight browser is?
[03:00] <craigbass1976> notanick, that isnt text only...
[03:00] <niles> lynx
[03:00] <notanick> craigbass1976, the gconfd stuff and/or gconftool-2 if the remote system is Gnome
[03:00] <craigbass1976> niles, I knew that was coming...
[03:00]  * notanick nods to niles
[03:00] <notanick> lol
[03:00] <notanick> curl
[03:00] <chazbrown> lol i was going to say lynx but yeah, curl
[03:01] <Geko> I need some assistance guys. I new to the Linux scene. Iam running ubuntu 64 bit and iam trying to configure compiz. Now when i try to make changes to the burn effect or any other effect  it does not go through even though even though it says that it is working. what could be the cause of the problem
[03:01] <niles> curl, acually
[03:01] <niles> I dont use lynx
[03:01] <chazbrown> lynx is awesome i remember using it back in the day
[03:01] <chazbrown> and its great for when you cannot start X
[03:01] <Geko> lol  sorry niles i ment linux
[03:01] <ubuntu> midori rocks
[03:01] <ubuntu> so does rekonq
[03:02] <notanick> craigbass1976, I had to disable gconfd doing upgrade to bring my Evolution email settings in.  It may be intimately involved with all Gnome-caressed apps, so maybe try stopping gconfd and seeing if FF on the remote system will display.  Mind you, gconfd gets restarted automatically, but something to try initially
[03:02] <ubuntu> opera anyone?
[03:03] <notanick> chrome?
[03:03] <ubuntu> it's the safest
[03:03] <niles> google chrome
[03:03] <ubuntu> chrome is easy to use and nice
[03:03] <ubuntu> but its not secure
[03:03] <notanick> indeed
[03:03] <niles> true
[03:03] <arrrghhh> psycho_oreos, it says "Kernel modules: wl, brcm80211" but "Kernel driver in use: wl" <---- is that wrong?
[03:03] <niles> bad ad blocker
[03:03] <craigbass1976> notanick, it will display if I shut it down locally first; once the remote is running I can fire it up locally.  Now I'm wondering, because the connection is on the slow side, which browser will work a little better.  I was about to take dillo for a spin
[03:03] <ubuntu> bad everything
[03:03] <niles> no working popup fiter
[03:03] <niles> fast
[03:03] <ubuntu> i terms of security
[03:03] <ubuntu> in
[03:03] <niles> themes
[03:03] <craigbass1976> ubuntu, what, you think google is watching you or something?
[03:04] <craigbass1976> :)
[03:04] <notanick> craigbass1976, slow connection use local browser
[03:04] <ubuntu> incognito= in cognito LOL
[03:04] <zerov32> does anyone know how to fix sound problems
[03:04] <ubuntu> no i dont
[03:04] <zerov32> using Audigy Platinum
[03:04] <ubuntu> it is just bad
[03:04] <notanick> craigbass1976, HTTP is probably faster than X protocols
[03:04] <ubuntu> google watches u anyway
[03:04] <ubuntu> everywahere
[03:04] <notanick> craigbass1976, unless you need the tunnel
[03:04] <craigbass1976> notanick, but I can't see what's running on that private lamp server if I run a local browser.  Oops, maybe I should have said what I was doing from the get go
[03:04] <Geko> can anyone help me with my compiz issue
[03:05] <ubuntu> any browser
[03:05] <tuxhack> i just removed two disks from a hardware raid card (raid mirror), and made same modifications on both disks.. now if I connect them back will the raid demand a reset ? or a rebuild ?
[03:05] <ubuntu> but check it out
[03:05] <ubuntu> opera has officially only 1 loophole
[03:05] <psycho_oreos> arrrghhh, it is, though you need to make sure that you have the right firmware for the brcm80211 driver and what not
[03:05] <ubuntu> ff has like ALOT
[03:05] <ubuntu> FF
[03:05] <notanick> craigbass1976, ah, in that case, yeah, you'll have to use the remote browser... would be nice if you could use a different one than firefox
[03:06] <arrrghhh> psycho_oreos, i pulled the git repo for the firmware
[03:06] <niles> ubuntu: whats the loophole
[03:06] <craigbass1976> notanick, no dillo in the repos, I'm trying midori
[03:06] <ubuntu> check out
[03:06] <ubuntu> the FF site
[03:06] <psycho_oreos> arrrghhh, and I presume with that you have compiled and installed the wireless-testing?
[03:06] <ubuntu> anyway
[03:06] <notanick> Geko, sometimes compiz does that... its updates are kind of weird.  You have to make sure that other things are not blocking the activation of the on-screen fire or burn or other features.  YMMV

[03:07]  * notanick nods to ubuntu
[03:07] <Geko> i am fairly new so iam just learning
[03:07]  * notanick hasn't tried midori, installing it also
[03:07] <removingADSENSE> off topic:  just letting people know.. MSFT now has 38% of search as of tonight. Up from 31% a mere 2 weeks ago. Google has only done this to themselves, and Adcenter will eat Adwords' lunch. I am also REMOVING all Adsense ads from ALL sites. I encourage all Drupalers to do the same. there are alternatives.
[03:08] <notanick> Geko, try rebooting if you haven't already.  Plus, make sure that there aren't any other theme managers running, and compiz has a traybar icon now too, which I recommend.
[03:08] <psycho_oreos> arrrghhh, hmm I suppose that guide seems to be useful. If everything works, try unloading the wl driver and load the brcm80211 driver. Once that is working blacklist wl and maybe remove the package if needed be

[03:08] <Nisorin> Hello. I asedk someone on #ubuntu-beginners to help me with a problem regarding Windows 7 no longer being bootable after installing Ubuntu 10.10 Studio. I was told to use the Windows Recovery Disc to reinstall the Windows bootloader, then to reinstall the Grub bootloader over it. The person was not sure if I needed to download a fixmbr.exe file from Microsoft or not, and directed me here.
[03:08] <arrrghhh> psycho_oreos, rmmod?  sorry not used to this.
[03:09] <craigbass1976> notanick, looks pretty familiar, not sure why it's supposed to be lightweight, but it does seem peppier over ssh than ff or epiphany
[03:09] <Aikar> anyone here use rabbitvcs with 10.10 64bit? i installed from the ppa but got no menus or icons for repos. restarted nautilus too
[03:09] <unreturned> peoples, how to bind joypad click to click on keyboard?
[03:09] <psycho_oreos> arrrghhh, rmmod works but ideally modprobe -r and to load use modprobe (if the driver is not installed then use insmod followed by the path to the driver)
[03:09] <notanick> craigbass1976, roger that. looks very nice
[03:09] <arrrghhh> ok
[03:09] <mrroth> !xrdp
[03:09] <wiw> i'd like to unencrypt my home folder so that i can use it for a different installation, how do i do that?
[03:09] <arrrghhh> i'll try that
[03:09] <Geko> so notanick how do i check if something is interfering
[03:10]  * notanick points at ubuntu and says, " you are evil and now have corrupted me with this midori thing. niicee"
[03:10] <mrroth> is thier a way I can manage with three monitors at work, to have on one screen, windows, on the other osx, and on the third ubuntu desktop
[03:10] <Geko> although why would something be interfering i just did a fresh install
[03:10] <madsailor> Nisorin, do you have the original win7 install disc?
[03:10] <notanick> Geko, Hrm, not sure alas.  What ubuntu?
[03:10] <craigbass1976> notanick, doesn't hold a candle to IE5 though...  That was the best!
[03:10] <Nisorin> I do, yes.   You have restricted drivers?
[03:11] <madsailor> Nisorin, if you boot from that disk windows recovery will come up , and there will be an option to recover your win7 install
[03:12] <madsailor> Nisorin, once you have windows booting again, then you can install grub over it
[03:12] <Nisorin> Alright. Still waiting for the Windows Recovery to load.
[03:12] <notanick> *Additional Drivers, not Restricted
[03:12] <Geko> i dont know what restricted drivers are but i installed my drivers when a popup came up from my machine and said to activait drivers and so i did
[03:12] <Nisorin> Will using the recover Win7 install option delete the data on the drive/partition?
[03:12] <notanick> Geko, here's a starting point I used:
[03:12] <arrrghhh> psycho_oreos, doesn't seem to be working at all now... bah.  i probably have to uninstall the driver that ubuntu installed eh?
[03:13]  * wiw would like to know how to unencrypt his home folder
[03:13] <madsailor> Nisorin, no, as long as you tell it to recover, it just re-writes the boot sector
[03:13] <madsailor> not data
[03:13] <notanick> Geko, Google "compiz fusion 10.10" and the first article from howtoforge is pretty good
[03:13] <Nisorin> Awesome, thank you.
[03:13] <notanick> Geko, ok, good
[03:13] <Geko> thanks
[03:13] <Geko> ill take a look
[03:14] <psycho_oreos> arrrghhh, pastebin me the last few lines of dmesg, ideally 20 lines

[03:14] <arrrghhh> psycho_oreos, sure 1 sec

[03:18] <craigbass1976> gpc, I meant help someone...
[03:18] <gpc> craigbass1976: right...
[03:18] <ake21v> I type alsamixer in the terminal and it brings up PulseAudio for the device
[03:18] <root__> you sure?
[03:18] <chazbrown> @craigbass1976 if you are logged in then notify-send ["title"] "message"
[03:18] <psycho_oreos> arrrghhh, something isn't right there, it seems like wl wasn't removed and there were no traces of brcm80211 being loaded
[03:18] <ake21v> and the device is Audigy 2 Platinum
[03:19] <ake21v> its set right in the sound preferences but still no sound
[03:19] <arrrghhh> psycho_oreos, yea it doesn't seem to be loading it.  perhaps i messed a step up, lemme go thru it again.
[03:19] <root__> help
[03:19] <notanick> doh, beat me to it... notify-send
[03:19] <ake21v> i tried clicking on the sound icon on the start menu bar and still
[03:19] <ake21v> nothing
[03:19] <psycho_oreos> arrrghhh, you appended sudo when it came to unloading wl and loading of brcm80211 right?
[03:19] <ake21v> i tried enable analog/digital and still nothing
[03:20] <ake21v> tried everything to do on the forums and still nothing
[03:20] <craigbass1976> chazbrown, is there anything a bit prettier than xmessage?
[03:20] <chazbrown> @craigbass1976 you might have to use xmessage since i dont think notify-send is installed on ubu ntu
[03:20] <arrrghhh> psycho_oreos, oh... i thought the brcm80211 was loaded.  d'oh let me try to force it.
[03:20] <Geko> this dosn't really help
[03:20] <Geko> i installed it properly
[03:20] <ake21v> tried disabling the onboard motherboard sound and still nothing, if i use the mothboard sound port still nothing]
[03:20] <ake21v> does ubunut support sound
[03:20] <psycho_oreos> arrrghhh, make sure to unload wl first, brcm80211 will not work if wl is in the way
[03:20] <notanick> ake21v, I looked about on google, but the Creative open source site is not responding (?) so I dunno... looks like there's some stuff from the horse's mouth... if it's not too out-of-date
[03:20] <Geko> when i try to customize the time for the effect
[03:21] <craigbass1976> chazbrown, zenity... Alreay found it
[03:21] <Geko> i move the tab
[03:21] <Geko> and it dosn't make the changes
[03:21] <Geko> that is my problem
[03:21] <chazbrown> @craigbass1976 great, that works
[03:22] <arrrghhh> psycho_oreos, hrm.  i see nothing in dmesg after the PCI INT A disabled
[03:22] <HeTaL> Does anyone have any PIC18 simulator recommendations? Something that can simulate a PIC18F4550
[03:22] <HeTaL> And something that can run on Ubuntu
[03:22] <psycho_oreos> arrrghhh, that's when you unloaded wl driver via sudo and loaded the brcm80211 driver via sudo right?
[03:22] <HeTaL> GTKExtras don't compile under Ubuntu anymore.
[03:22] <notanick> Geko, that interface for compiz config settings is kinda weird.  I have seen that too.  Make sure that things are enabled using the buttons on the right side of the window, and also that there aren't any conflicting keyboard or mouse combos that would reset or change things
[03:23] <arrrghhh> psycho_oreos, sudo modprobe brcm80211 rigth?
[03:23] <arrrghhh> right
[03:23] <arrrghhh> i also tried sudo modprobe mac80211
[03:23] <psycho_oreos> arrrghhh, yes but again did you unload wl driver?
[03:23] <root__> anyone here?
[03:23] <notanick> hi root__ yah

[03:24] <arrrghhh> psycho_oreos, yup.  no wireless networks are showing
[03:24] <CommanderViral> Need some help fixing something in my Kubuntu installation. I installed the official ATI Catalyst drivers for my ATI Radeon HD 4200, hoping it would improve performance with Minecraft. Instead it broke any 3D support I had and any sort of application that involves OpenGL crashes.
[03:24] <psycho_oreos> arrrghhh, checked it via lsmod to make sure wl isn't there?
[03:24] <CommanderViral> How would I rollback to the default drivers?
[03:24] <CommanderViral> Or make these ATI ones work.
[03:25] <CommanderViral> I'm using Kubuntu 10.10
[03:25] <craigbass1976> hehe.  can't wait to "help" my wife using zenity.  She's wised up to my facebook antics; shuts the speakers off to avoid the popping noise when I message her
[03:25] <psycho_oreos> root__, I don't accept uninvited PMs, ask your question here instead
[03:25] <notanick> Geko, Also, check your Admin and Prefs menus under system to make sure that Emerald theme manager is not installed unless you want it to be.  It might or might not be a good thing... I used it under 9.04, but 10.10 I didn't need any help from theme stuff.
[03:25] <leapy0yo> hi
[03:25] <Geko> for instance i checked the box for randomly colored burn effect
[03:25] <leapy0yo> for my laptop screen some windows are too big to fit, so i cannot see the conformation at the bottom to say "okay" or "yes"
[03:26] <gunndawg> Anyone used Plymouth Manager to change their plymouth and does it work well ?
[03:26] <Geko> and when i close the window
[03:26] <root__> how to change chart into chinese
[03:26] <Geko> thae effect is still red
[03:26]  * notanick recommends getting NVIDIA to make ATI work.
[03:26]  * notanick runs away
[03:26] <CommanderViral> I had no choice in the card.
[03:26] <notanick> CommanderViral, ah, I hear ya
[03:26] <CommanderViral> Pre-built laptop.
[03:26] <psycho_oreos> root__, which chart?
[03:26] <arrrghhh> psycho_oreos, i don't see it
[03:26] <Geko> emerald is not installed
[03:26] <leapy0yo> anyone know?
[03:26] <arrrghhh> !cn | root__
[03:26] <notanick> CommanderViral, like my box at work... RHEL with ATI, ugh
[03:27] <leapy0yo> windows are too big for my laptop ... how can i make it so i can see the full window temporary?
[03:27] <gpc> !ibus > root__
[03:27] <psycho_oreos> arrrghhh, hmm ok, and when you loaded brcm80211 it didn't give you errors? what about entries in lsmod? does it show brcm80211?
[03:27] <Geko> i have compiz. ccsm installed
[03:27] <Geko> thats all
[03:27] <notanick> Geko, that is really weird.  Alas, I don't know what else to recommend :(
[03:27] <CommanderViral> Yeah, this thing worked fine with Windows regarding graphics. Linux games run a bit slower. I figured the driver was just bad.
[03:27] <root__> thank you
[03:27] <arrrghhh> psycho_oreos, this is odd... i guess i'll give you the output, i don't get it.
[03:27] <Geko> i know i have tested this
[03:27] <Geko> before
[03:27] <Geko> and it never happened
[03:27] <notanick> hrm
[03:27] <Geko> like this
[03:27] <psycho_oreos> arrrghhh, ok, make sure to pastebin it
[03:28] <arrrghhh> psycho_oreos, haha i know.
[03:28] <gunndawg> Does anyone have experience using Plymouth Manager to change their plymouth/boot up screen?
[03:28] <Geko> i also had a problem where i couldn't enable the extra animations
[03:28] <Geko> so i had to download some kind of extra package
[03:28] <Geko> to get them
[03:28] <CommanderViral> Any help with my driver problems? Maybe?
[03:28] <Geko> now i got the animations
[03:28] <Geko> but i cant adjust the extra animations
[03:28] <Geko> do you think i need another package
[03:28] <Mannyuel> anyone know of a good webcam conferencing program?
[03:29] <notanick> Geko, okay.  Extra animations... hrm.  Which feature is it again?
[03:29] <psycho_oreos> CommanderViral, just a random guess, I presume you are using fglrx drivers? if so have you checked out community docs on fglrx?
[03:29] <pooky> the network indicator doesn't seem to work properly for me, I can't see to configure vpn connections or anything, advice?
[03:29] <Geko> the extra animations give you the effects like fire and beamup
[03:29] <CommanderViral> They would be fglrx. Google never led me to such a page. Maybe I should check that.
[03:29] <psycho_oreos> !fglrx
[03:30] <notanick> Geko, ah, I don't remember a separate one for that.  Maybe a OpenGL issue?  Anything in your logs?
[03:30] <gunndawg> Has anyone used Plymouth Manager before ?
[03:30] <Geko> mabe i need to isntall jave

[03:31] <arrrghhh> psycho_oreos, http://paste.ubuntu.com/559769/ <--- full lsmod.
[03:31] <notanick> pooky, vpnc and its dependencies might help

[03:32] <Geko> do i need it
[03:32] <psycho_oreos> arrrghhh, ok I need pastebin output of modinfo brcm80211
[03:32] <arrrghhh> psycho_oreos, and AFAIK with wl it was eth1...
[03:32] <arrrghhh> sure
[03:32] <CommanderViral> I have the drivers installed...they just don't work right.
[03:32] <notanick> Geko, I don't, but I know there are some new packages surrounding compiz to make it work better, like the tray bar
[03:32] <arrrghhh> psycho_oreos, http://paste.ubuntu.com/559770/
[03:32] <psycho_oreos> arrrghhh, yeah wlan0 should be the interface for bcm4313 via brcm80211, ethX was used by wl driver
[03:33] <notanick> doh! pizza iz here
[03:33] <arrrghhh> psycho_oreos, ok... i have a wlan0, but it doesn't function.  iwlist scan says nothing, and wicd says it sees nothing as well.

[03:33] <Geko> thanks not

[03:33] <notanick> np
[03:34] <psycho_oreos> arrrghhh, hmm, unload brcm80211 driver and try this sudo modprobe brcm80211 msglevel=9 phymsglevel=9
[03:34] <LifeEscalade> hello everyone
[03:34] <psycho_oreos> arrrghhh, might need sudo in front of those, failing that the device may need to be up to scan
[03:34] <DarezGhost> psycho_oreos: i think i'm having a similar problem. can you please get me going :P i have a bcm4322 adapter
[03:34] <LifeEscalade> im in a sort of a pickle and i was wondering if someone could help me out?
[03:35] <xangua> !ask | LifeEscalade
[03:35] <psycho_oreos> DarezGhost, there's no fix for bcm4322, brcm80211 won't support it neither will b43
[03:35] <DarezGhost> psycho_oreos: but the BCM STA driver lists it as supported
[03:36] <psycho_oreos> DarezGhost, correct, broadcom's sta driver known as wl :) which I don't support because its functionality is limited
[03:36] <techitch> hey guys, i'm having this problem - i mount a windows share using cifs and fstab..this works fine..i'm mounting the shares to /mnt - i need to get access to these folders from another application running within a chroot so im trying to mount /mnt using bind to another folder inside a chroot however when i mount it i cannot see the contents of the windows shares...
[03:36] <LifeEscalade> So I accidentally omitted my /var/www folder using cp /var/www trying to copy... there any way to undo that one?
[03:36] <CommanderViral> Okay. This link regarding the binary drivers does not help.
[03:36] <rbil> can't connect to twitter with gwibber. what's the secret? Ubuntu 9.10
[03:36] <DarezGhost> psycho_oreos: but should i not be able to see the interface?
[03:36] <CommanderViral> There is no information on fixing fglrx
[03:37] <psycho_oreos> DarezGhost, it should be named as ethX (where X is the number from 0-whatever number)
[03:37] <rbil> do I need to do something from the twitter site side?
[03:37] <xangua> rbil: use ubuntu lucid or forward that has gwibber with #oauth support
[03:37] <delinquentme> if i build a program from its source code .. does that build it for whatever machine arch (x64) i happen to run?
[03:37] <psycho_oreos> CommanderViral, there might be when it comes to tweaking
[03:37] <arrrghhh> psycho_oreos, weird, it locked up hard on me.  i was pressing the key for wlan cards on/off... i just tried it again and it's not doing it now.  very odd.  perhaps this laptop just isn't ready for linux...
[03:38] <CommanderViral> I don't see any on that page.
[03:38] <gunndawg> Anyone know how to use Plymouth Manager ?
[03:38] <DarezGhost> psycho_oreos: I can see eth0 and eth1 in ifconfig , but I dodn't see anything in the wireless connections o.O
[03:38] <dl2agon> is there a way to make ubuntu 10 desktop in to a cluster manchine ?
[03:38] <psycho_oreos> arrrghhh, wait you pressed the key for wlan to be on and off was before or after it locked up and was the lockup because of the command I told you to run?
[03:38] <techitch> anyone got ideas?
[03:38] <psycho_oreos> DarezGhost, iwconfig will tell you which interface has wireless capability
[03:39] <arrrghhh> psycho_oreos, i have no clue what the lockup was associated to.  i just tried flipping the card on/off again, with wl removed... didn't happen again.
[03:39] <DarezGhost> psycho_oreos: thats right. i did that, but it doesn't seem to be showing up in the network connections. So currently it says Access point: not-associated. how do i actually use this interface
[03:40] <Geko> i fixed it
[03:40] <mrroth> I have a three monitors at work, my os host is windows xp
[03:40] <gunndawg> Could someone help me with Plymouth Manager or teach me how to change my plymouth/boot screen?
[03:40] <psycho_oreos> CommanderViral, hmm :/ maybe its for older open sourced driver, I believe the problem is when it was loading into Xorg is where you lose 3D and what not functionality
[03:40] <mrroth> is thier a way I can have ubuntu desktop on the third monitor
[03:40] <mrroth> at work
[03:40] <Geko> not i fixed the problem
[03:40] <mrroth> is thier a way I can have ubuntu desktop on the third monitor, on my windows xp workstation at owork ??? any ideas
[03:40] <psycho_oreos> arrrghhh, what about the commmand I mentioned?
[03:40] <Geko> aparently i wasnt really running compiz
[03:40] <CommanderViral> Yeah. The Community Documentation told me to run fglrxinfo to see if it works right.
[03:40] <Geko> so i had to place a command
[03:41] <Geko> into the terminal
[03:41] <Geko> and it worked
[03:41] <Geko> compiz --replace
[03:41] <FloodBot1> Geko: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:41] <Geko> this is the command
[03:41] <psycho_oreos> DarezGhost, which one was it that said Access point: not-associated?
[03:41] <rww> !enter
[03:41] <arrrghhh> psycho_oreos, the modinfo?
[03:41] <DarezGhost> psycho_oreos: eth1
[03:41] <Geko> sorry flood
[03:41] <psycho_oreos> arrrghhh, no the modprobe with very verbose output
[03:41] <arrrghhh> psycho_oreos, never saw that one
[03:41] <psycho_oreos> DarezGhost, so eth1 is the wireless interface, umm maybe the interface needs to be up
[03:42] <psycho_oreos> arrrghhh, ahh ok lemme repaste it
[03:42] <CommanderViral> psycho_oreos, would this say anything that might be what's wrong with the driver? http://pastebin.com/1hDqy7Nj
[03:42] <DarezGhost> psycho_oreos: how do i get it up :P
[03:42] <psycho_oreos> arrrghhh, hmm, unload brcm80211 driver and try this sudo modprobe brcm80211 msglevel=9 phymsglevel=9
[03:42] <madsailor> Nisorin, how'd it go with the restore?
[03:42] <psycho_oreos> DarezGhost, sudo ifconfig eth1 up
[03:43] <arrrghhh> psycho_oreos, then i'm guessing you want dmesg?
[03:43] <psycho_oreos> CommanderViral, seems like Xorg isn't using fglrx driver. Check Xorg.0.logs
[03:43] <psycho_oreos> arrrghhh, yes if that worked
[03:43] <CommanderViral> What would be the path to Xorg.0.logs?
[03:43] <CommanderViral> /etc/X11/Xorg.0.logs?
[03:43] <psycho_oreos> CommanderViral, /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[03:43] <psycho_oreos> or that
[03:44] <arrrghhh> psycho_oreos, http://paste.ubuntu.com/559772/
[03:45] <techitch> hey guys, i'm having this problem - i mount a windows share using cifs and fstab..this works fine..i'm mounting the shares to /mnt - i need to get access to these folders from another application running within a chroot so im trying to mount /mnt using bind to another folder inside a chroot however when i mount it i cannot see the contents of the windows shares...
[03:45] <Geko> well thanks everyone
[03:45] <CommanderViral> psycho_oreos: This is the contents of that file: http://pastebin.com/ytB2WEZZ
[03:45] <gunndawg> Could someone show me how to use Plymouth Manager or tell me how to manually change my plymouth/boot screen?
[03:45] <psycho_oreos> arrrghhh, ahh that's much better, the output.. so if iwlist returns nothing, check to see if the interface is up via ifconfig
[03:46] <arrrghhh> psycho_oreos, interface is there, but it's not up.
[03:47] <arrrghhh> psycho_oreos, here's the results of those two commands
[03:47] <arrrghhh> http://paste.ubuntu.com/559773/
[03:47] <psycho_oreos> CommanderViral, ok my bad you are using fglrx but some functionalities are disabled, the 2D/3D acceleration is handled by DRI and that has been disabled because of: (WW) fglrx(0): Kernel Module version does *not* match driver.
[03:47] <nodel3d> was wondering if puttinf all my fonts in a .fonts folder in the home directory will work in version 10.10 like it did in  the older version, if not where would i put fonts at for the whole sys to use?
[03:47] <CommanderViral> psycho_oreos: How would I fix that?
[03:48] <psycho_oreos> arrrghhh, well the first part shows that its up and the iwlist was after ifconfig wlan0?
[03:48] <Claydon> Hi
[03:48] <psycho_oreos> CommanderViral, not quite sure, normally you need to recompile the fglrx headers against your kernel headers
[03:48] <arrrghhh> psycho_oreos, sorry for chopping it poorly.  first command is ifconfig, second is iwlist scan
[03:49] <psycho_oreos> CommanderViral, where did you obtained and installed the drivers from?
[03:49] <CommanderViral> psycho_oreos: I obtained the drivers from the AMD website.
[03:49] <pm1> how to download flex
[03:49] <psycho_oreos> arrrghhh, yeah I know that but the output of those was directly as is without you putting the interface down after trying to scan and not pasting that in?
[03:49] <CommanderViral> psycho_oreos: Well, ATI/AMD website. I can provide a link.
[03:50] <psycho_oreos> CommanderViral, you should have probably used jockey instead.. the hardware drivers thing
[03:50] <arrrghhh> psycho_oreos, i'm not sure i follow.  i just did ifconfig and iwlist scan
[03:50] <CommanderViral> psycho_oreos: Yeah. Would using Jockey override the ones I installed from the website?
[03:50] <psycho_oreos> arrrghhh, ahh ok, is there anything new after you did those two commands in dmesg?
[03:50] <psycho_oreos> CommanderViral, it might
[03:51] <psycho_oreos> CommanderViral, better yet is to find a way to uninstall the one from amd/ati website first before using jockey
[03:51] <CommanderViral> psycho_oreos: All right. I think there is an uninstaller provided.
[03:52] <arrrghhh> psycho_oreos, a lot of the same, doesn't look good.   let me pastebin
[03:52] <arrrghhh> psycho_oreos, http://paste.ubuntu.com/559774/
[03:52] <psycho_oreos> CommanderViral, should use that instead :) afaik if you used jockey, chances are the binary driver maybe added to DKMS which will be compiled matching against running kernel regardless of how many usual ubuntu kernel updates you go through
[03:52] <pm1> wish to install flex on Ubuntu 9.04 for installing ns2 plz help
[03:53] <CommanderViral> psycho_oreos: All right. Would I need to be in a terminal without KDE running to uninstall the drivers?
[03:53] <xangua> pm1: jaunty is no longer supported
[03:53] <psycho_oreos> arrrghhh, hmm not too sure what to say about those, then again repeatedly pressing wlan button won't really help. The other thing one may also need to consider is the probability of rfkill
[03:54] <Ricket> My laptop has a wireless interface and a wired interface. The wireless is connected to a router with internet and I can browse fine. The wired I want to connect via crossover cable to another computer. When I do so, the other computer is reachable, but websites are unreachable. But as soon as I unplug the cable, internet is available again. How can I route only one subnet through eth0 (wired) and everything else through eth1?
[03:54] <psycho_oreos> CommanderViral, possibly yes
[03:54] <arrrghhh> psycho_oreos, that's the thing, i haven't been pressing the button...
[03:54] <arrrghhh> and what do you mean rfkill?
[03:55] <psycho_oreos> arrrghhh, weird the log was saying something about some key being pressed.
[03:55] <LifeEscalade> anyone know how to remit a directory? I accidentally omitted /var/www trying to copy using cp.
[03:55] <arrrghhh> psycho_oreos, yea i see that.  i'm not sure what that is, might be the touchpad on/off button i have been hitting
[03:56] <CommanderViral> psycho_oreos: I think I uninstalled the drivers without logging out. Do I need to reconfigure X at all before rebooting so I can still use KDE?
[03:56] <ezy> hello good folks...trying to parse mp3 tags and some tracks show us having no tag but when played in music player it shows title, artist etc...Where does the player pull this infos from ? please help
[03:56] <arrrghhh> psycho_oreos, i have 2 more in dmesg, but i didn't hit the wireless key...
[03:56] <psycho_oreos> arrrghhh, its normally a driver responsible for turning on radio on the wireless device. Its there for laptop users so that they can disable/enable wireless at will. Normally the built-in stable kernel drivers will show information about radio disabled or rfkill unavailable, etc
[03:56] <arrrghhh> psycho_oreos, so... what can i do?  looks bleak TBH
[03:56] <psycho_oreos> CommanderViral, normally those should be autoprobed
[03:57] <almoxarife> Ricket: both pc's have wifi?
[03:57] <CommanderViral> psycho_oreos: So, just go on and reboot without running any commands?
[03:57] <ezy> or a channel that deals with ID3 tagging
[03:57] <psycho_oreos> arrrghhh, yeah something is wrong :) its showing up information about invalid mac address which lead me to thinking rfkill is either unavailable or invalid
[03:58] <arrrghhh> psycho_oreos, can i do anything?
[03:58] <psycho_oreos> CommanderViral, yes give that a shot and hopefully you should be using radeon driver iirc. From there just install fglrx from jockey
[03:58] <Ricket> almoxarife: Yes, internet connection sharing didn't work though
[03:58] <arrrghhh> psycho_oreos, he's my neighbor, and is constantly breaking his windows install because he just clicks on things at random.  i need to put something on this thing that he won't break.
[03:58] <jankko> j
[03:58] <trism> ezy: might want to look at the file in kid3, it may have v1 tags but not v2, or the other way around, and you're reading the wrong ones
[03:59] <psycho_oreos> arrrghhh, hmm at this point I could suggest asking in #linux-wireless or even asking on the mailing-list. For the time being I guess you may need to go back to using wl
[03:59] <EnigmaticCoder> I'm looking for good linux and programming websites. Does anyone who uses delicious.com care to share their bookmarks w/ me?
[03:59] <santhosh> how do i install xampp in command line
[03:59] <jankko> hai Iam John
[03:59] <mbvpixies78> Can anyone help me tweak my software firewall?  Enabled, I lose the ability to connect to the internet.  I'm using Firestarter, but if you want to walk me through another firewall setup I'm all ears
[03:59] <almoxarife> Ricket: if both pcs have wifi then have both use the router, then it's a matter of sharing what ever folders
[03:59] <rww> ubottu: xampp | santhosh
[03:59] <arrrghhh> psycho_oreos, bah.  well, i appreciate all the help!
[04:01] <burkey_> is anyone using the picasa uploader for facebook if so how did you get it working.  mine freezes when uploading pictures
[04:01] <mbvpixies78> I know it seems obvious--  enable http in and out for firewall to allow internet, but I did that...  anything else I should check?
[04:01] <almoxarife> mbvpixies78: firestarter defaults to 'allow out' did you change it?
[04:01] <psycho_oreos> arrrghhh, the dmesg output of those are really handy however. Though like I said the brcm80211 driver is still very new
[04:01] <xangua> burkey_: why not use a native tool¿
[04:01] <mbvpixies78> almoxarife:  No I'm pretty sure I didn't--  I went through the setup wizard
[04:02] <burkey_> xangua:  what do you recommend
[04:02] <mbvpixies78> almoxarife:  My outbound traffic policy is permissive and there are no denials entered
[04:03] <almoxarife> mbvpixies78: before you installed firestarter I assume you had internet access?
[04:03] <CommanderViral> psycho_oreos: Okay. The reboot has me running the radeon drivers I think. 3D still does not work.
[04:03] <mbvpixies78> almoxarife:  yes, and I have it while it's disabled
[04:03] <mbvpixies78> (it being firestarter
[04:03] <mbvpixies78> )
[04:04] <psycho_oreos> CommanderViral, that's expected when using radeon, its a free driver that tries to support as many cards as possible without breaking up xorg :) from there just install fglrx via jockey and things should then work
[04:04] <LifeEscalade> anyone know how to undo a cp command? when i ran cp /var/www /home/user/www it showed that /var/www had been omitted. any help is appreciated.
[04:04] <mbvpixies78> almoxarife:  did I mess up in adding my other local network computers in inbound?  Does it limit it to them and no internet servers?
[04:05] <dirty> hello .. can anyone help me please.. i`m trying to access my fresh install ubuntu desktop 10.10 from another computer in my network and it`s not working.. is there anything i need to do before this will work? Terminal on the ubuntu pc is working fine
[04:05] <CommanderViral> psycho_oreos: Is there a command I can run to insure I'm running the radeon driver?
[04:05] <mbvpixies78> almoxarife:  I have http, dhcp, dns, https, smb allowed for inbound services, no others
[04:05] <rww> LifeEscalade: not sure what you want to undo, given that that cp command would do exactly nothing. You probably want cp -R.
[04:05] <almoxarife> mbvpixies78: your inbound needs to be the router or source of outside the network
[04:05] <psycho_oreos> CommanderViral, not exactly no, only logs may show it
[04:05] <psycho_oreos> CommanderViral, well none that I know of anyway
[04:06] <n0a1ias> is there a command to view all usernames on my computer?
[04:06] <almoxarife> mbvpixies78: your network is <IP_ADDRESS>?
[04:06] <mbvpixies78> almoxarife: 0.1
[04:06] <LifeEscalade> rww: the thing is though, i tried to copy my /var/www directory to a more accessible one and at the end of the command it output that /var/www was omitted. now i cant access my content i was hosting
[04:07] <mbvpixies78> almoxarife: Ok, I got rid of the server list and just putmy router (<IP_ADDRESS> and now it works, thanks a bunch!
[04:07] <almoxarife> mbvpixies78: i used rule 192.168.0/24 allow all  for everything behind the router
[04:07] <psycho_oreos> n0a1ias, cat /etc/passwd| awk '{FS=":"; print $1}'
[04:07] <mbvpixies78> almoxarife: remind me what the 24 means?
[04:08] <dirty> can anyone please help ? i`m kind of in a hurry .. and i really need this so i can access it from where i`m going..
[04:08] <CommanderViral> psycho_oreos: Well, Jockey is giving me errors. "SystemError: installArchives() failed"
[04:08] <rww> LifeEscalade: It wasn't because of that cp command. cp without -R with a directory as the source /doesn't do anything/
[04:08] <mbvpixies78> almoxarife: I set it like that, w/24 for smb, but it's "everyone" for the other services
[04:08] <LifeEscalade> rww: so then to copy directory would be cp -R /var/www /home/usr/www ?
[04:09] <root__> why does the system i setup on the U disk cannot save document at the same time
[04:09] <rww> LifeEscalade: yes
[04:09] <almoxarife> mbvpixies78: someone else can explain the technical of it, what it does though is allow anything within your network, behind the router to connect, so that youdont have to add specific ports
[04:09] <LifeEscalade> rww: thank you! now all I have to figure out is why my content isnt loading anymore ;P
[04:09] <psycho_oreos> CommanderViral, something is broken, not sure exactly on how to fix it, are you sure the uninstaller did a clean job of removing traces of its driver?
[04:10] <CommanderViral> psycho_oreos: I'm not sure. I think I had both the Jockey drivers and ATI drivers installed at the same time for some reason.
[04:10] <mbvpixies78> almoxarife:  ok, thanks.  One other thing, maybe you know--  I get "looking up" any time I connect to a web site which makes it take longer to load.  I flushed the DNS cache but it still does this..  any ideas?
[04:10] <almoxarife> mbvpixies78: everyone is just that, unless you are behind a hardware firewall
[04:10] <psycho_oreos> CommanderViral, and you should have said that
[04:10] <CommanderViral> psycho_oreos: Didn't think about it. Yeah. I probably broke something.
[04:10] <psycho_oreos> CommanderViral, reinstall? :p
[04:11] <mbvpixies78> almoxarife:  I'm behind a router that handles PPPoE (the AT&T modem just passes the signal to the router)
[04:11] <almoxarife> mbvpixies78: looking up? you mean the browser says that?
[04:11] <CommanderViral> So much stuff to back-up. Crap.
[04:11] <mbvpixies78> almoxarife:  yes, lengthy process
[04:11] <almoxarife> mbvpixies78: that router has a built in firewall?
[04:11] <CommanderViral> psycho_oreo: I'm guessing there's nothing I can do to fix it without a reinstall?
[04:12] <n0a1ias> thanks psycho_oreos
[04:12] <mbvpixies78> almoxarife:  yes and I'm fairly familiar with configuring it, but might have something wrong
[04:12] <dirty> anyone? please..
[04:12] <mbvpixies78> almoxarife:  dns server issue, right?
[04:12] <jimblah> Anyone here ever clone an awesome application that only runs in windows?
[04:12] <psycho_oreos> CommanderViral, there probably is but there'll be lots of messing around looking for potential sources of issues. There might be an alternative such as maybe forcing the reinstall of fglrx driver via dpkg which can be nasty and may not work
[04:12] <mbvpixies78> almoxarife:  or dns cache not filling out
[04:12] <almoxarife> mbvpixies78: I use dnsmasq as a dns cache, but if the dns server you are pointed at is slow then I imagine it would seem slow
[04:13] <mbvpixies78> almoxarife:  is openDNS slow?  I was thinking of using it if I haven't already configured it that way
[04:13] <almoxarife> mbvpixies78: according to a tool I used last , YES
[04:13] <CommanderViral> psycho_oreo: I'm fine with that. It'll build character anyway. Maybe I could reinstall the driver from the website package and use it's uninstaller.
[04:14] <mbvpixies78> almoxarife:  maybe just clear static DNS and see what happens?
[04:14] <CommanderViral> psycho_oreo: Which could cleanly uninstall it?
[04:14] <almoxarife> mbvpixies78: you really want to use the closest dns server, most probably the one served up by your isp
[04:14] <predator_x> hi all.. when i play music in vlc media player
[04:14] <predator_x> the music get stuck..
[04:14] <mbvpixies78> almoxarife:  that's the thing--  it's listed first in static DNS on the router
[04:14] <predator_x> doesnt happen with other players
[04:15] <psycho_oreos> CommanderViral, there's no point in doing that :) the problem is that both the driver provided by jockey and by that website are identically the same along with a few other stuff specific to each of their own
[04:15] <predator_x> what could be the problem? same with videos too
[04:15] <czardoz> predator_x, try removing it completely and installing again
[04:15] <almoxarife> mbvpixies78: you are using static dns then you really need to insure the list is a good one
[04:15] <AbhiJit> and preferable get the latest version too predator_x
[04:15] <CommanderViral> psycho_oreo: Well. Great. I'm a 'tard at times...
[04:15] <czardoz> windows mentality :P
[04:15] <psycho_oreos> CommanderViral, and when you uninstalled the website's drivers you've most likely also removed the driver by jockey
[04:15] <CommanderViral> psycho_oreo: I uninstalled using Jockey. Not the website uninstaller.
[04:16] <almoxarife> mbvpixies78: let me see if I still have the tool for dns speed testing
[04:16] <jimblah> Anyone ever use Orbiter 2010 and would like to bring it to linux?
[04:16] <psycho_oreos> CommanderViral, well again you would have made the website's installer redundant as it may try to look for the driver that it installed with which was removed automatically by jockey :)
[04:16] <mbvpixies78_> almoxarife: I do have DDNS because this is a server using TZO to provide DNS updates, but that shouldn't affect web traffic for browsing I wouldn't think
[04:17] <CommanderViral> psycho_oreo: Possibly. I think I'll just try the website drivers again. If they don't work, I'll just do a quick back-up and reinstall Ubuntu.
[04:17] <predator_x> @czardoz : did that..same problem
[04:17] <psycho_oreos> CommanderViral, ok
[04:18] <CommanderViral> psycho_oreo: Thanks for the help.
[04:18] <madsailor> jimblah, you can try running it under wine
[04:18] <psycho_oreos> CommanderViral, nw and good luck
[04:18] <predator_x> removed it and reinstalled it in ubuntu software center
[04:18] <Kevin147> I'm having trouble with my laptop. I have a Lenovo G550 and the scroll on the touchpad isn't working. My friend has the same laptop and his works so I don't see why mine wouldn't. I'm running Ubuntu 10.10.
[04:18] <predator_x> !czardoz
[04:19] <predator_x> music and video gets stuck in vlc player.. just removed and installed it again..same problem
[04:19] <hunterkasy> I am wondering if their is a way I can save files in the / file system
[04:19] <jimblah> madsailor, its not the same, I've tried with multiple versions of wine, I've followed there directions at their forum. 5 fps is a no go
[04:20] <almoxarife> mbvpixies78_: to verify your dns servers are at their best I suggest google 'nameserver' , should take you to a useful tool
[04:20] <mbvpixies78_> almoxarife: will do ty
[04:20] <jimblah> Then they insult linux asa crappy os and ubuntu as a distro, not in their forum but in their irc
[04:21] <venkata> ubuntu
[04:21] <czardoz> +r
[04:21] <madsailor> jimblah, yeah, 5 fps is rough.  Only options are to run win in a vm, or talk to the orbiter devs and get them to make a linux port
[04:22] <jimblah> Its worth bring to linux and mac, but the creator is too busy in medical research
[04:22] <almoxarife> mbvpixies78_: sorry wrong name, its namebench from code.google.com
[04:22] <jimblah> the addon developers are rude
[04:23] <jimblah> I hate dual booting, I live in ubuntu
[04:23] <Aikar> weird issue: my workspace switcher is no longer showing on 2 rows after rebooting, making it huge :/
[04:23] <madsailor> jimblah, like I said, if you own a copy of a win version that orbiter will run on you can run it in a vm
[04:23] <jimblah> with 3d acceleration?
[04:24] <madsailor> jimblah, , worth a try
[04:24] <gpc> nope
[04:24] <jimblah> Its a space sim
[04:24] <gpc> no 3d in VM
[04:24] <Aikar> hmm, had to delete the one on the 2nd monitors panel and readd it now its right
[04:25] <RealEyes> hey guys, i just got a 2wire AT&T router and my machine is not reading the ethernet cable. Is there anyway I could fix that?
[04:25] <jimblah> much better than celestia
[04:25] <RealEyes> the ethernet port on my machine is blinking green slowly
[04:25] <jimblah> the addon developers even rip off the motherlode and put there meshes and textures in there stuff
[04:26] <ugarit> how do I reinstall grub after installing windows?
[04:26] <jimblah> I found it looking for a way to build models for compiz 3dcubemodel
[04:27] <predator_x> hi .. im having problem with vlc media player.. audio and video gets stuck while playing
[04:27] <predator_x> i have removed and reinstalled it
[04:27] <predator_x> doesnt work
[04:28] <jimblah> Where would I go to drum up support to clone, find other developers, for a clone for *nix
[04:30] <jimblah> Orbitux
[04:30] <bazhang> jimblah, ##linux perhaps
[04:30] <jimblah> Tux Orbiter
[04:30] <bazhang> jimblah, or #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:31] <jimblah> anyother ideas before I go?
[04:31] <oshirix> hoi
[04:31] <jimblah> or stop mentioning it
[04:32] <bazhang> jimblah, lets discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic please
[04:32] <jimblah> sure
[04:33] <madsailor> jimblah, make a vat of coffee, mix it with a sixpack of redbull lock the door and start reverse-engineering
[04:33] <madsailor> other than that, nope
[04:36] <gunndawg> Could someone tell me why there are 2 options for my windows 7 partition on GRUB? dev/sda1 and dev/sda2 are both windows 7
[04:38] <bazhang> gunndawg, one is the tiny 100mb partition that windows 7 creates
[04:38] <gunndawg> bazhang, thanks.
[04:38] <madsailor> gunndawg, win7 is actually win vista in a new wrapper the first (small) partition is that wrapper, and is where 7 boots from
[04:38] <gunndawg> madsailor but vista shows up also, I have 2 win7 options and a vista loader option
[04:39] <Paddy_NI> gunndawg: yeah that is annoying
[04:39] <Loki^> anyone here knows a good tutorial for (mobility) radeon hd 5xxx series driver installations? xserver isnt starting after driver installation (fglrx) and reboot. it reboots in tty1. i googled myself to death, cant find good tutorials or solutions so far
[04:39] <Paddy_NI> gunndawg: a custom grub.conf is really your only option
[04:39] <kerrick> Loki^, check log files
[04:39] <gunndawg> bazhang, so its not out of the ordinary? its alright ?
[04:39] <mbvpixies78> arrrrrgh is right
[04:39] <Paddy_NI> gunndawg: there is a few GUIs for doing this easily
[04:39] <bazhang> gunndawg, its fine
[04:39] <mbvpixies78> anyone else use KVM switches?
[04:39] <kerrick> Loki^, I don't know which log files those are in particular, but you should figure out which ones are relevant and check them
[04:40] <Paddy_NI> mbvpixies78: No although I would love one lately
[04:40] <Loki^> kerrick hm ok thx
[04:40] <gunndawg> Paddy_NI doing what easily? I wasnt trying to do anything, lol
[04:40] <Paddy_NI> gunndawg: clean up your boot menu>
[04:40] <Paddy_NI> ?
[04:40] <madsailor> yep...the win 7 'vista' only loads with thw win 7 partition, your other vista is standalone.   All win 7 installs have 2 partitions
[04:40] <gunndawg> Paddy_NI ah ok
[04:40] <kerrick> Loki^, also, xorg gives some output when you start it with startx
[04:40] <gunndawg> madsailor, thanks just wanted to make sure everything was set up as it should be
[04:40] <Loki^> kerrick while googleling i found out that alot of people have driver issues, especially with the 5000 series... so i thought there might be some good hints or tutorials out :(
[04:40] <mbvpixies78> Paddy_NI:  be careful--  real pain in the arse.  screen went blank, I rebooted and now it won't boot at all, won't take a boot cd or flash drive
[04:40] <kerrick> Loki^, so you can do startx from a terminal, then switch back to it and see the output
[04:40] <tucemiux> mbvpixies78, i use a KVM switch, why?
[04:40] <gunndawg> if its alright, then I'll just leave it be :)
[04:41] <Paddy_NI> mbvpixies78: O_o
[04:41] <Paddy_NI> mbvpixies78: what the hell did you do?
[04:41] <mbvpixies78> Paddy_NI:  I'm using IOGEAR
[04:41] <Loki^> kerrick ok thank you =)
[04:41] <marcoftheknight> hey anyone running virtual ubuntu on windows
[04:41] <marcoftheknight> >
[04:41] <marcoftheknight> ?
[04:41] <gunndawg> I am pretty stoked that I got a new plymouth theme installed :)
[04:41] <Paddy_NI> mbvpixies78: Let me google that one
[04:41] <mbvpixies78> Paddy_NI:  I called tech support and they're replacing it
[04:41] <kerrick> Loki^, you could try the open source driver, see if that works, and if it does, it may mean a bug in ATI's driver. That might not be helpful though.
[04:41] <Paddy_NI> mbvpixies78: ah faulty gear.. they should be responsible for any damage caused
[04:41] <mbvpixies78> It's Iogear, Miniview 4-port, model KVMP GCS1804.... this may just be a lemon
[04:42] <Paddy_NI> mbvpixies78: is there nothing cheap and cheerful that would do the job for you?
[04:42] <Loki^> kerrick it does, but the friend with the issue wants to play 3d games like warsow, and they dont work, or only work very bad, with the open source driver
[04:42] <mbvpixies78> Paddy_MI:  It's weird...  like the computer goes through an existential crisis, and then a few days later, it starts accepting boot media again
[04:42] <marcoftheknight> lol
[04:43] <Paddy_NI> mbvpixies78: I really dont understand why it would do that
[04:43] <mbvpixies78> Paddy_NI:  cheap KVM means big, big headaches
[04:43] <id10t> I recomend "playonlinux" for noobs who dont know how to use wine but still want to play 3d games<[04:43] <Paddy_NI> gah
[04:43] <kerrick> Loki^, oh ok
[04:43] <gunndawg> I tell ya what. After getting a new plymouth theme installed, and writing a few custom shell scripts to run to help keep this thing updated and cleaned up, I am really enjoying Ubuntu
[04:43] <marcoftheknight> join #ubuntuforums
[04:43] <Paddy_NI> gunndawg: yeah it does rock
[04:43] <mbvpixies78> Paddy_NI:  If you like, once I get the replacement and I see you on, I will let you know if it was a lemon and this is a good model to buy.
[04:44] <Paddy_NI> mbvpixies78: that would be really cool
[04:44] <id10t> hey just wondering does anyone know if smooth fonts is automatically set in ubuntu 10.10?
[04:44] <gunndawg> Paddy_NI I've only got it set up on a 25GB partition but I think I am gonna stretch that and give win7 less room ;)
[04:44] <Paddy_NI> gunndawg: yeah do that
[04:44] <Paddy_NI> :)
[04:44] <mbvpixies78> Paddy_NI:  It really ought to be for the price, and it's really sleek.  You just push the button to switch computers (no having to use keyboard shortcuts)
[04:45] <Magicblaze007> I just installed my first ubuntu machine. I get a "$" prompt from bash. Anyone can tell me a place to set a nicer bash prompt?
[04:45] <barack_osama> sudo su
[04:45] <gunndawg> Paddy_NI can I modify the partions here in ubuntu to give this partion more space or do I need to do that from win7?
[04:45] <barack_osama> and you will get #
[04:45] <barack_osama> :)
[04:45] <Paddy_NI> gunndawg: live cd would be best
[04:46] <gunndawg> Paddy_NI alright, I'll try, heh
[04:47] <marikaw> i tried to install ubuntu on my netbook to dual boot, but now it isn't working and i'd either like to uninstall ubuntu or figure out why i couldn't boot into ubuntu
[04:49] <freeksh0w86> what's the wubi command for making a /home partition of a good size on the NTFS drive? (no i can't install Ubuntu the normal way, it would mess up my Windows install)
[04:50] <bazhang> freeksh0w86, to resize it you mean?
[04:50] <feyd> if I'm using mplayer and mpd for music and video, is there any reason to keep gstreamer installed?
[04:51] <Magicblaze007> what is the correct way to install ipython on a ubuntu machine?
[04:52] <Magicblaze007> is there a room for ubuntu newbies?
[04:52] <tucemiux> Magicblaze007, there is no such thing as "correct" way, you can use apt-get, software center or synaptic
[04:52] <bazhang> Magicblaze007, this is it
[04:53] <czardoz> Magicblaze007, compile using ./confugure
[04:53] <czardoz> and then "make"
[04:53] <marcoftheknight> hey wath up
[04:53] <Magicblaze007> czardoz: won't that break the system after a point? make install?
[04:53] <czardoz> no
[04:53] <Magicblaze007> I think I'll go with apt-get
[04:54] <bazhang> czardoz, there is zero reason to compile
[04:54] <Magicblaze007> how do I find out what version will be installed when I say "sudo apt-get install ipython"?
[04:55] <bazhang> Magicblaze007, better to not break package management; apt-cache search package usually turns up what you need
[04:55] <czardoz> bazhang, there is no reason not to either
[04:55] <czardoz> :)
[04:55] <bazhang> czardoz, its a very last resort. not something to recommend out of the gate, particularly to a newcomer
[04:55] <czardoz> i see what you mean
[04:55] <jukas> how to configure my hdmi audio driver?
[04:55] <jukas> i can make it work
[04:55] <jukas> i have an gt36m nvidia
[04:55] <Magicblaze007> bazhang: it doesn't tell me what version it will install
[04:55] <marcoftheknight> i broke my virtual box cant share windows hardrive with virtual ubuntu
[04:56] <Magicblaze007> just a description
[04:56] <marcoftheknight> darnt it
[04:56] <bazhang> Magicblaze007, let me check
[04:56] <czardoz> Magicblaze007, just use "sudo apt-get install ipython"
[04:56] <gpc> czardoz: apt-cache show package will give you more detailed info
[04:56] <gpc> err Magicblaze007 ^^
[04:56] <marcoftheknight> hdmi audio driver
[04:56] <jukas> yes
[04:56] <Flannel> Magicblaze007: apt-cache policy [package], then look at the "candidate" line
[04:56] <jukas> do you know something?
[04:56] <bazhang> Magicblaze007, /msg ubottu info ipython
[04:57] <jukas> i i cant make it work
[04:57] <marcoftheknight> have you download the correct driver for ubuntu, they have excellent support for nvidia
[04:57] <santhosh> im running a ubuntu command line version, i installed the lamp package can any one tell me how to start apache server in it or to check if its already riunnning
[04:57] <Magicblaze007> What's wrong --> $ history --> -sh: history: not found
[04:57] <santhosh> im running a ubuntu command line version, i installed the lamp package can any one tell me how to start apache server in it or to check if its already riunnning
[04:57] <bazhang> jukas, keep it on one line please, its very hard to follow otherwise
[04:57] <czardoz> sudo /etc/init.d/httpd start
[04:57] <jukas> ok sorry
[04:57] <czardoz> @santhosh
[04:58] <santhosh> ok
[04:58] <Magicblaze007> Flannel: Thanks. That worked
[04:58] <bucky> santhosh, ps aux |grep apache
[04:58] <santhosh> czardoz: is there a comand where i can check if its already rinning
[04:58] <czardoz> if you have nmap, just check if port 80 is open
[04:59] <jukas> i ve downloaded the driver from additional drivers on ubuntu

[04:59] <dnivra> hello. I am trying to share files using samba. I shared a folder named 'cv', located in my home folder with permissions 644. I share it(Right click -> Sharing options) but when I try to access it using 'smb://localhost' and logging in using an account 'guest123', i am unable to mount the share. 'guest123' is an account in my computer and i added it to smbusers using 'sudo smbpasswd -a guest123'.
[04:59] <santhosh> ok the scenario is the server is a cloud server running on rackespace, i tunneled into it and installed the lamp. Now no dns is configured for the server. But when i point the ip in browser, even apache test page is not loading. wat could be the problem
[05:00] <santhosh> do i have to do any things specific, any configs before i can point the thing in my browser
[05:00] <assid> heya
[05:00] <marcoftheknight> ok well I have Ati and I had the ccc catalyst control center I assume nvidia has same type of control center doesnt it where you can change your settings chech for some type of nvidia control center that you can download pleases someone intervene if im wrong
[05:00] <assid> does ubuntu have issues reading windows' dynamic disks ?
[05:00] <santhosh> ok the scenario is the server is a cloud server running on rackespace, i tunneled into it and installed the lamp. Now no dns is configured for the server. But when i point the ip in browser, even apache test page is not loading. wat could be the problem
[05:01] <bazhang> santhosh, patience dont repeat so quickly please
[05:01] <feyd> if I'm using mplayer and mpd for music and video, is there any reason to keep gstreamer installed? Maybe for pulse/alsa?
[05:01] <santhosh> bazhang: sorry
[05:01] <santhosh> im in kind of an urgent situatuion here
[05:01] <jukas> yes come with nvidia settings... but i cant  configure the audio driver from tere
[05:02] <sacarlson> feyd: is there any reason to remove it?  are you running out of disk space on you 1 tera byte hard drive?
[05:02] <marcoftheknight> jukas try this you can get it by running "nvidia-settings" at the cmd prompt
[05:03] <santhosh> czardoz: sudo /etc/init.d/httpd start - command not found
[05:03] <magicblaze007> is there no history command on ubuntu?
[05:03] <bucky> santhosh, dpkg -i apache2   is it installed
[05:03] <marcoftheknight> PRESS UP FOR HISTORY COMMAND
[05:03] <marcoftheknight> arrow up
[05:03] <santhosh> bucky: yes it is
[05:04] <rww> santhosh: it's apache2, not httpd.
[05:04] <magicblaze007> marcoftheknight: I'm sshing to my box, and up doesnt work
[05:04] <assid> err anyone kniow if ubuntu can read dynamic disks (windows) correctly?
[05:04] <assid> the live cd isnt able to read those drives
[05:04] <santhosh> what does dpkg do?
[05:04] <santhosh> deploy pakcage?
[05:04] <magicblaze007> how do i get history in ubuntu?
[05:04] <czardoz> install packages on the system
[05:05] <jukas> have no audio table to configure
[05:05] <marcoftheknight> fine
[05:05] <scbunn> magicblaze007: what shell are you running and is history configured?
[05:05] <magicblaze007> scbunn: i guess not
[05:05] <magicblaze007> no idea what the default shell is
[05:05] <magicblaze007> how do i find out?
[05:05] <assid> anyone>?
[05:05] <magicblaze007> scbunn: i'm using sh
[05:05] <scbunn> magicblaze007: you could echo $SHELL but it will most likely lie.. try typing bash and see if you get the same prompt
[05:05] <magicblaze007> bash makes the history work actually
[05:05] <magicblaze007> sh , history doesnt work
[05:06] <scbunn> magicblaze007: haven't used bourne (sh) under linux in a long time, but default on solaris is no history
[05:06] <magicblaze007> scbunn: how do i change my shell from default sh to bash?
[05:06] <scbunn> magicblaze007: as root change your shell usermod -s /bin/bash <username>
[05:06] <marcoftheknight> oh the whole history lol
[05:06] <judgepg> what is that, a raid configuration?
[05:06] <czardoz> magicblaze007, edit /etc/passwd file
[05:06] <czardoz> to change default shell
[05:07] <scbunn> czardoz: stop recommending people do stupid sh*t
[05:07] <bucky> santhosh, do you have an apache2-mpm-prefork or other mpm installed also?
[05:07] <santhosh> yippee apache now works thanks guys
[05:07] <magicblaze007> says i'm not in sudoers file... :( how do i put myself there?
[05:07] <santhosh> bucky: its running now
[05:07] <judgepg> scbunn: What's wrong with czardoz's suggestion?
[05:07] <czardoz> scbunn, is not someone i want toargue with
[05:08] <santhosh> ok im a complete noob so sorry for all these question, if i wanna perform common admin tasks on apache where am i supposed to look for the config files
[05:08] <scbunn> judgepg: they guy doesn't know how to work history. You can send him off to vi and have in arse up passwd so nobody can login, or your can use usermod with no change of failure
[05:08] <santhosh> say .htaccess and all that
[05:09] <judgepg> scbunn: Got it.  Means to the same end
[05:09] <dnivra> i have a user guest123. i would like another person to view shared files by logging in as guest123. how can I do that? I have shared files(right click -> sharing options) and can login as owner of the files but not as 'guest123'.
[05:09] <bucky> santhosh, the apache website has the best docs
[05:09] <santhosh> bucky: ok ill take a peekabo
[05:10] <Loki^1> i aborted a file transfer (i copied a file from harddisk to harddisk), but the gui of the filetransfer wont disappear and theres still the file transfer icon in the notification bar between the sound indicator. anyone knows how to get rid of that? what to close in task manager?
[05:11] <sam-_-> Loki^1: try xkill. then click on the filetransfer
[05:11] <magicblaze007> anyone uses python type shell for replacing bash here by any chance?
[05:11] <santhosh> how do i install phpmyadmin
[05:11] <santhosh> thro command line
[05:11] <marcoftheknight> lol
[05:11] <Loki^1> sam-_- thanks it worked
[05:11] <Jimtrim> Hi. Any tips for getting Ubuntu to dual-boot with windows smoothly?
[05:11] <santhosh> How do i install phpmyadmin thro command line
[05:12] <marcoftheknight> VM
[05:12] <marcoftheknight> virtual machine
[05:12] <gpc> santhosh: apt-get install phpmyadmin
[05:12] <marcoftheknight> the best
[05:12] <sam-_-> !dualboot | Jimtrim
[05:12] <marcoftheknight> virtual machine is much better
[05:12] <bazhang> marcoftheknight, please dont use the enter key every two words
[05:12] <magicblaze007> how do i list installed packages?
[05:13] <gpc> !clone > magicblaze007
[05:13] <Jimtrim> ubottu: bah. this is why I dont use Ubuntu... have to raed to much, just to install it
[05:13] <EnigmaticCoder> magicblaze007: dpkg --get-selections > InstalledSoftware
[05:13] <judgepg> Jimtrim: That's why we have Windows :)
[05:14] <Jimtrim> but, still.... I like the terminal =P
[05:14] <judgepg> Jimtrim: use the powershell
[05:14] <Assid> can you use the dvd amd64 for raid installations?
[05:14] <magicblaze007> so there is no python 2.7 to install for ubuntu as a package?
yes sir
[05:15] <magicblaze007> I was trying ;  apt-cache search python | grep 7
[05:15] <judgepg> magicblaze007: Pretty sure python gets installed with Ubuntu
[05:15] <Assid> paq7512: i didnt see it anywhere along the installation process to allow it
[05:15] <magicblaze007> judgepg: I need 2.7 instead of the 2.6.5  that comes with it
[05:16] <judgepg> magicblaze007: My bad.
[05:16] <dnivra> magicblaze007: i think python2.7 is not there by default in maverick. it is only being included in natty.
 do you want to do software or do you have hardware raid?
[05:16] <Assid> paq7512: software
[05:16] <gpc> magicblaze007: apt-get install python2.7
[05:16] <dannys> hello testing does this work?
[05:16] <Assid> paq7512: i want these mechanical drives to go quicker :D
[05:17] <gpc> magicblaze007: apt-cache search python  (should show you the package)
[05:17] <magicblaze007> gpc: Unable to locate package python2.7 ?
[05:17] <santhosh> i installed phpmyadmin but its not working if i given ip/phpmyadmin
[05:17] <gpc> magicblaze007: what version of Ubuntu?
[05:17] <dnivra> magicblaze007: which version of ubuntu are you running?
 are you using the alternate installer?
[05:17] <magicblaze007> dnivra: how do i find out?
[05:17] <magicblaze007> Server, LTS
[05:17] <judgepg> magicblaze007: Why not just compile it from source?  Grab it from python.org
[05:17] <Assid> paq7512: i have the live amd64 disk
[05:17] <Assid> dvd
[05:17] <santhosh> i installed phpmyadmin but its not working if i give ip/phpmyadmin
