[22:12] <nit-wit> Cainus, whats your distro
[22:12] <cybertek> nit-wit, its a POP3 server I download from, and not a free account, from my service provider
[22:12] <Eren> is it normal that I cannot play mp3's after installing restricted packages, and what Totem tells me?
[22:12] <Cainus> jaunty
[22:12] <Mene-Mene> I've got a bit of a sound issue, I'm using the onboard soundcard on my GA-H55M-UD2H, which is an alc889... The problem is it's an 8 channel sound card. 5.1 in the back, and two more in the front. The 5.1 works in the back, but the two in the front don't.
[22:12] <Eren> I have no driver problem btw.
[22:12] <W3ird_N3rd> Cainus, Synaptic > settings > repositories
[22:12] <W3ird_N3rd> go to tab "updates"
[22:12] <nit-wit> cybertek, have you tried thunderbird
[22:13] <W3ird_N3rd> and you can enable Pre-released updates and backports
[22:13] <W3ird_N3rd> that may give you something newer
[22:13] <cybertek> nit-wit, I dont want that. I have an iphone.
[22:13] <nit-wit> Cainus, http://alestic.com/2010/10/ec2-ubuntu-jaunty-eol
[22:14] <Cainus> ahh boo :)
[22:14] <nit-wit> cybertek, seems like iphone all is needed then  would think
[22:14] <nit-wit> *all=app
[22:14] <[thor]> induz: unpack the files into a seperate folder, and then move to that folder, then use the command " cp * /usr/share/???????????????/ " where ????????? is the rest of the path
[22:14] <Nikon> yes hello
[22:14] <W3ird_N3rd> Mene-Mene, System > Prefs > Sound > Hardware > check your profile

[22:15] <Nikon> TAR stops at 2.0 mb, how can i fix this
[22:15] <Cybertrash> Can anyone help me? I'm trying to install UNE from a 1GB FAT32 USB-drive, using the usb-creator tool to "burn" an image from the .iso, however, I get a "Failed to install bootloader" error.  I've also tried using Netbootin, and whilst the "burning" process works with no errors, the USB won't boot at all.
[22:15] <cybertek> nit-wit, I wanted to use my .procmailrc to download email to my local unix server because I wanted to check only 1 account for multiple accounts
[22:15] <nit-wit> Cainus, you can down load FF4 though
[22:15] <cybertek> into 1 account
[22:15] <BernardV> Nikon:  get a good archive.. I think the archive is broken
[22:15] <Nikon> i mean tarring an archive
[22:15] <Nikon> not untar
[22:15] <Nikon> :\
[22:15] <[thor]> infid: add the panel widget called "Indicator Applet"
[22:15] <nit-wit> cybertek, beyond me for sure.:)
[22:16] <infid> thanks [thor]
[22:16] <Cainus> nit-wit: as a tarball?
[22:17] <cybertek> iceroot, can you please direct me how to run a notification-tray-icon every time I get new e-mail ?
[22:17] <tbrock> hey guys
[22:17] <tbrock> when i run apt-get upgrade
[22:17] <infid> [thor]: on the indicator applet what's that thing that says 'toggle or autostart'?
[22:17] <tbrock> my ubuntu box is saying that packages have been left back
[22:17] <iceroot> cybertek: just ask the question/answer my question :)
[22:17] <nit-wit> Cainus, yes just unpack it to home and click on the firefox named text inside the FF 4 folder make a launcher for it
[22:18] <[thor]> infid: i'm not sure i know what you mean, let me add it./
[22:18] <iceroot> tbrock: that is normal you can remove them with sudo apt-get autoremove
[22:18] <\\\Rick__Rick> somebody speek spanish?
[22:18] <Random832> !es | \\\Rick__Rick
[22:18] <ben_q> hello, I have a problem with my cpu-scaling: even with "performance" setting it will only go to 70%, not 100% :(
[22:18] <tbrock> do i want to remove them?
[22:18] <iceroot> tbrock: that are packages which are installed from other packages which are no longer needed
[22:18] <\\\Rick__Rick> thanks
[22:18] <cybertek> iceroot, ok, how do you run a notification script every time you receive email in your unix inbox?
[22:18] <iceroot> tbrock: ah or wait
[22:19] <iceroot> tbrock: are there anything like "hold back"?
[22:19] <tbrock> it says, the following packages have been kept back
[22:19] <[thor]> infid: sorry, that doesn't show up on mine.. can you post a screenshot? (prnt-scrn button to take a shot )
[22:19] <pumpkin> what is wrong with this upstart-script http://pastebin.ca/2030110 ? I try to enable power saving on SATA-links.
[22:19] <infid> [thor]: no biggie it must be fors ome specific app i have
[22:20] <skorv> i dont really need a mail client... for windows back when mail bombing was fun we had tools to clean up mail account... and all i want is that
[22:20] <iceroot> tbrock: ok there is apt-get upgrade which is only upgrading the packages directly, if you install package a which needs an upgrade apt-get upgrade is doing the job, if you install package a which is also installing package b and both need an upgrade, then its "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" else the package a is keeped back
[22:20] <nullp0inter> hey everyone...i used to have that compiz package installed, and when i removed it, my screen seetings somehow got messed up and all the colors on my monitor are too bright...anyone know how to reset the display settings?
[22:21] <Ryu_Kurisu> iceroot: first apt-get update ofc ;)
[22:21] <AnggaDj98> nullp0inter: why did you remove it?
[22:21] <iceroot> Ryu_Kurisu: sure
[22:21] <nullp0inter> AnggaDj98: it was slowing down my computer so bad
[22:21] <Ryu_Kurisu> iceroot: You might know, but tbrock might not...
[22:22] <tbrock> hrmm
[22:22] <iceroot> tbrock: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -s to see what will happen if it is ok, remove the -s from that line
[22:22] <tbrock> let me think about that for a sec
[22:22] <AnggaDj98> nullp0inter?
[22:22] <iceroot> tbrock: also man apt-get will show you the difference between upgrader and dist-upgrade
[22:25] <sessan> g
[22:25] <AnggaDj98> nullp0inter: oh
[22:25] <AnggaDj98> nullp0inter: but you shouldn't do that
[22:25] <con-man_> if the built in archive manager won't unpack rar files does anyone have a suggestions for an alternative?
[22:25] <AnggaDj98> nullp0inter: compiz is an important part of ubuntu
[22:26] <BernardV> AnggaDj98: When I get a nullp0inter I say the same thing...
[22:26] <nullp0inter> AnggaDj98: is there an alternate i could use?
[22:26] <AnggaDj98> BernardV: oh lol
[22:26] <AnggaDj98> nullp0inter: hmm
[22:27] <AnggaDj98> nullp0inter: emerald?
[22:27] <AnggaDj98> nullp0inter: see this article http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=397807
[22:27] <nullp0inter> compiz was killing my cpu usage
[22:27] <AnggaDj98> ok
[22:27] <AnggaDj98> emerald?
[22:28] <nullp0inter> checking it out now
[22:28] <induz> I have downloaded few files on desktop now i want to copy them on a specific folder what should be the commands
[22:28] <induz> [thor], r u there??
[22:28] <dnivra> con-man_, did you try installing unrar?
[22:28] <nullp0inter> AnggaDj98: no emerald in add/remove apps
[22:28] <[thor]> induz: yep, i sure am
[22:28] <mattw_> Is there any way to use the Minimal Install CD / USB drive with a PPP connection?
[22:29] <AnggaDj98> no emerald...
[22:29] <Ryu_Kurisu> con-man_: Is rar files supported by default? check in synaptic or software center for rar
[22:29] <dnivra> !rar | con-man_
[22:30] <tbrock> iceroot: my question is
[22:31] <tbrock> iceroot: i literally just installed this ubuntu
[22:31] <tbrock> why would i need to dist upgrade
[22:31] <mattw_> No thoughts on this?
[22:31] <iceroot> tbrock: to get the newest security fixes
[22:31] <[thor]> tbrock: try to keep posts on one line. this channel scrolls fast enough as it is.
[22:31] <iceroot> tbrock: dist-upgrade does not mean upgrade to the next ubuntu
[22:32] <tbrock> sorry, i thought dist-upgrade moved you up a release
[22:32] <tbrock> this won't bring me to testing will it?
[22:32] <tbrock> i want to remain on stable
[22:32] <nullp0inter> anyone know why i would be going into swap when all i use is google chrome, and terminal?
[22:32] <iceroot> tbrock: you will stay on stable after that
[22:32] <AnggaDj98> nullp0inter: go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/x11/emerald-themes
[22:32] <[thor]> !enter | tbrock
[22:32] <tbrock> got it, sorry
[22:33] <AnggaDj98> nullp0inter: swap is used when you use over-weighting programs like openoffice
[22:33] <mattw_> Basically I'm trying to install 10.10 from the minimal CD, however, my connection is pppoe... which means I need the ppp-udeb module... that is not included in the minimal cd
[22:33] <tbrock> nullp0inter: chrome is very memory heavy
[22:33] <AnggaDj98> tbrock: I couldnt agree more
[22:33] <tbrock> nullp0inter: but it also is very fast and speedy because of that
[22:34] <nit-wit> nullp0inter, swap is important if you want to suspend or hibernate you can cange the swappiness
[22:34] <induz> I am follwing this but unable to extraxt the files
[22:34] <induz>  http://www.ubuntu-in.info/wiki/Hindi_Dictionary
[22:34] <nit-wit> *change
[22:34] <induz> please help me
[22:34] <Cybertrash> Can anyone help me? I'm trying to install UNE from a 1GB FAT32 USB-drive, using the usb-creator tool to "burn" an image from the .iso, however, I get a "Failed to install bootloader" error.  I've also tried using Netbootin, and whilst the "burning" process works with no errors, the USB won't boot at all.
[22:34] <con-man_> I don't suppose unrar has a gui
[22:34] <con-man_> unrar -e rar.rar does nothing
[22:35] <con-man_> nevermind
[22:35] <con-man_> no dash for e
[22:35] <dnivra> con-man_, after installing unrar, archive manager would support rar files.
[22:35] <[thor]> induz: have you tried asking in #ubuntu-in ?
[22:35] <Braber01> I'm trying to get my PC to triple boot Ubuntu,Fedora and Win 7 Which rooms can help me with this?
[22:35] <induz> I tried but there are hardly any one there
[22:35] <AnggaDj98> Braber01: wow
[22:36] <induz> why its so complicated
[22:36] <Ryu_Kurisu> nit-wit: suspend works without swap ;)
[22:36] <[thor]> induz: well, unpacking the files to one of your own folders should be no problem
[22:36] <induz> yes
[22:36] <AnggaDj98> Braber01: which one goes first? Win7?
[22:36] <induz> I unpack them on a desktop folder
[22:36] <[thor]> induz: once it is unpacked, open a CLI, move to that folder
[22:36] <nit-wit> Ryu_Kurisu, cool I never use ethier
[22:37] <induz> how can i move to that folder?? its my desktop
[22:37] <induz> what is the command to change the directory
[22:37] <Braber01> AnggaDj98 I alredy have Ubuntu and Win7 on my laptop, I just need help with the edition of the partions to get Fedora to fit
[22:37] <[thor]> desktop is /home/USERNAME/Desktop
[22:37] <[thor]> where USERNAME is your username :D
[22:37] <Ryu_Kurisu> The difference between suspend and hibernate: suspend keeps RAM active, hibernate writes to drive....and for allocation it uses the swap area <_<"
[22:38] <iceroot> [thor]: /home/username == ~
[22:38] <induz> what is the command to move  is it : CD??
[22:38] <[thor]> induz: if your username is induz, the command is "cd ~/Desktop"
[22:38] <iceroot> induz: move files? its mv
[22:38] <[thor]> err..
[22:39] <AnggaDj98> Braber01: no i meant which is preinstalled in your computer first?
[22:39] <vikingur_> does anyone know where the blobs formely in package linux-restricted-modules are now?
[22:39] <induz> is "cd' is the command to get to that folder??
[22:39] <iceroot> induz: yes
[22:39] <Ryu_Kurisu> cd
[22:39] <Braber01> AnggaDj98 Win7
[22:39] <Ryu_Kurisu> Damn...cd means change dir
[22:40] <robmillernow> can someone help a semi-noob?
[22:40] <nit-wit> Ryu_Kurisu, that makes sense, with Ubuntu shutting down so fast and starting up the 2 functions are needed by myself I have 4 OS on the one HD anyway I switch around all day anyway
[22:40] <AnggaDj98> Braber01 Ok then now how many space is left in your HD and RAM?
[22:40] <nit-wit> *not needed
[22:40] <[thor]> !ask | robmillernow
[22:41] <Braber01> AnggaDj98 What command do i use to find that out?
[22:41] <Ryu_Kurisu> nit-wit: 4 OS'es? which? (I know...bit offtopic ;))
[22:41] <blueglasses> induz, cd is used to change to any directory, you just have to specify which one
[22:41] <AnggaDj98> Braber01 umm wait
[22:41] <robmillernow> okay.  I'm trying to replace the virus-laden Windows on my 60-year-old Dad's laptop...
[22:41] <robmillernow> wait.  starting over.
[22:41] <induz> I want to go to my desktop folder called 'hindi
[22:42] <[thor]> induz: cd ~/Desktop/hindi
[22:42] <induz> I inserted the command /home/userID/desktop/hindi
[22:42] <blueglasses> induz cd /home/Desktop/hindi
[22:43] <OsakaFoo> Hello, I was wondering how I would go about setting a+x to all .php files and nothing else?
[22:43] <blueglasses> induz you should read the ubuntu file hierarchy map
[22:43] <induz> it gives me ; No such file or directory
[22:43] <[thor]> induz: folders are case sensitive, /Desktop is not the same as /desktop or /dEskToP
[22:43] <Ryu_Kurisu> blueglasses: you miss the user in your command...if you swap /home/[user]/ for ~/ it always works :)
[22:43] <nullp0inter> hey does anyone know how i can go from (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)) to xubuntu easily?
[22:43] <CyL> Evening folks... I have a LUKS encrypted partition that I don't want to be automatically mounted on boot time, so I marked it as noauto in crypttab. However I'd like to make it mountable by a regular user by menas of an entry on fstab, automating the step of opening the LUKS vault. Is it possible?
[22:43] <AnggaDj98> nullp0inter you mean the interface only?
[22:44] <iceroot> nullp0inter: you want the xfce4 desktop?
[22:44] <blueglasses> correct Ryu, thanks for noting that
[22:44] <leff> Induz capital letters and just letters do differ
[22:44] <induz> let me try with Caps and lower case
[22:44] <nullp0inter> AnggaDj98: i want to relieve my system from hogging all the memory
[22:44] <vikingur_> CyL: In fstab, change the option 'auto' to 'noauto' in the line associate with that partition
[22:44] <robmillernow> okay.  I'm trying to replace the virus-laden Windows on my 60-year-old Dad's laptop.  Dad's Windows machine optical drive is defective, so trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 via USB drive.  Put the Ubuntu 10.10 .img on new 8g USB drive.  Switched boot order in BIOS on Dad's Windows laptop.  Restarted, but getting "No boot sector on USB device" error.  can anyone help?
[22:44] <AnggaDj98> nullp0inter oh
[22:44] <cquaid> nullp0inter: lol!
[22:44] <AnggaDj98> nullp0inter so reinstall xubuntu
[22:45] <iceroot> nullp0inter: then you want lxde and not xfce4
[22:45] <AnggaDj98> i mean ubuntu
[22:45] <nullp0inter> iceroot: whats that
[22:45] <CyL> vikingur_: the problem is that I still have to manually open the LUKS vault with cryptsetup... I'd like to automate that step if possible
[22:45] <iceroot> nullp0inter: and dont reinstall anything...
[22:45] <AnggaDj98> iceroot: I AGREE!
[22:45] <induz> ok now I am Hindi' folder on cli
[22:45] <iceroot> nullp0inter: lxde is a small desktop which is not using that much ressources like gnome or xfce4
[22:45] <AnggaDj98> iceroot: xfce is also considered lightweight
[22:46] <mattw_> Does no one here know how to get a PPP connection working with the minimal install CD?
[22:46] <induz> how can I copy or move those files [3 files] to /usr/share/starDict/dict
[22:46] <iceroot> nullp0inter: you can install different desktops with "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop" or xubuntu-desktop
[22:46] <Ryu_Kurisu> robmillernow: Just putting the iso on is not enough :)
[22:46] <mattw_> I'm having incredible trouble getting Ubuntu on my computer :(
[22:46] <AnggaDj98> Braber01: got it. Go to system monitor and see the swap space
[22:46] <AnggaDj98> nullp0inter: anyway, swap space is another name for RAM
[22:46] <nullp0inter> iceroot: so i dont need to reinstall my entire operating system, just install lubuntu desktop?
[22:46] <robmillernow> Ryu - I did convert the .iso to an .img following the ubuntu instructions...
[22:46] <AnggaDj98> nullp0inter: anyway, swap space is another name for RAM in linux
[22:46] <vikingur_> CyL: ah, sorry, must have skipped a line when I read your question.
[22:46] <Ryu_Kurisu> robmillernow: if your on windows, you could use this program: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[22:46] <vps> hi everybody , i need help regarding a sip client for ubuntu that supports g723 and g729 codec
[22:46] <iceroot> nullp0inter: yes
[22:46] <induz> what r the commands for copy??
[22:46] <AnggaDj98> induz: c[
[22:46] <nullp0inter> thanks iceroot, will it auto remove gnome?
[22:47] <AnggaDj98> induz: cp
[22:47] <leff> cp - copy
[22:47] <iceroot> nullp0inter: at the start-prompt you can choose then to use gnome, xfce4 or lxde
[22:47] <AnggaDj98> nullp0inter: no
[22:47] <iceroot> nullp0inter: no it will not autoremove gnome
[22:47] <robmillernow> oh wait forgot that part -- i'm doing all the Terminal USB preparation stuff on Mac
[22:47] <AnggaDj98> nullp0inter you can see the bottom panel
[22:47] <AnggaDj98> nullp0inter at the gdm login
[22:47] <Kaidelong> has anyone here used woof on ubuntu?
[22:47] <AnggaDj98> nullp0inter pick which one you want
[22:47] <nullp0inter> iceroot: and AnggaDj98 thanks for the help!
[22:48] <AnggaDj98> nullp0inter welcome :)
[22:48] <AnggaDj98> Kaidelong: woof?
[22:48] <AnggaDj98> Kaidelong: woof? what is that?
[22:48] <vps> anyone has sip client info ?
[22:48] <robmillernow> Ryu - My macbook is the only other working computer in the house
[22:48] <Kaidelong> AnggaDj98: makes a puppy distribution out of another distribution
[22:49] <AnggaDj98> Kaidelong i dont get it?
[22:49] <AnggaDj98> kaidelong oh ok
[22:49] <AnggaDj98> Makes a kinda puppy dog linux?
[22:49] <ai6pg> Running ubuntu 10.10 with pulseaudio. I have an app that's looking for an audio device e.g /dev/dsp.  There is no /dev/dsp. Any suggestions ?
[22:49] <Kaidelong> the idea would be to get ubuntu GNOME and debian package management stuff with Puppy's kernel
[22:49] <AnggaDj98> or UCK?
[22:49] <AnggaDj98> oh yeah
[22:49] <AnggaDj98> similar to UCK
[22:49] <AnggaDj98> just UCK is for customizing ubuntu only and not changing it
[22:49] <Ryu_Kurisu> robmillernow: which tutorial did you use on creating a bootable usb?
[22:50] <[thor]> AnggaDj98: puppies are resource light OS environments
[22:50] <AnggaDj98> [thor] yeah like puppydoglinux which can run even on old hardwares
[22:50] <AnggaDj98> [thor] i used them for about 2 years
[22:50] <AnggaDj98> till i got ubuntu of course ;)
[22:50] <nullp0inter> iceroot: im getting this when i use sudo apt-get... E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[22:50] <nullp0inter> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[22:51] <AnggaDj98> nullp0inter wait for another apt-get finished
[22:51] <robmillernow> Ryu - Step 2 on this page - http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/get-ubuntu/download
[22:51] <[thor]> AnggaDj98: yeah, i just dl'd the latest puppyStudio (3.1 ).. which is a puppy release of ubuntu studio
[22:51] <AnggaDj98> [thor]oh nice
[22:51] <adzy> hello all!

[22:51] <nit-wit> sudo apt-get install -f

[22:52] <nit-wit> nullp0inter, make sure it is just the terminal open
[22:52] <nullp0inter> iceroot: or AnggaDj98 it cannot find lubuntu-desktop
[22:52] <swordsman> hello

[22:53] <adzy> il give gimp a try!
[22:53] <Ryu_Kurisu> imkscape=inkscape
[22:53] <nit-wit> lubuntu is just sudo apt-get install lxde

[22:54] <lucid_system> hi there! im wondering if anybody would mind helping me compile with cmake. its my first try and im not really getting a hang on it. im trying to compile this: http://qdot.github.com/liblightstone/ but am only getting an error message as sson as i try: CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:11 (BUILDSYS_BUILD_LIB):
[22:54] <lucid_system>   Unknown CMake command "BUILDSYS_BUILD_LIB".
[22:54] <AnggaDj98> iceroot: why?
[22:54] <swordsman> ubuntun
[22:54] <nullp0inter> iceroot: will xfce4 help with my memory hogging problem?
[22:54] <adzy> iceroot - put  use "sudo apt-get install"
[22:54] <iceroot> nullp0inter: but on ubuntu 8.x xfce4 is small, on ubuntu 10.x xfce4 is big as gnome
[22:54] <AnggaDj98> nullp0inter: yes a bit
[22:54] <AnggaDj98> nullp0inter: but not as powerful as lxde
[22:56] <nullp0inter> so after installing xfce4, can i just log out, then log back in and use it?
[22:56] <AnggaDj98> nullp0inter you mean?
[22:56] <iceroot> nullp0inter: yes
[22:56] <AnggaDj98> nullp0inter yes if you picked up Xubuntu Desktop Environment before Login
[22:56] <nullp0inter> cool thanks again for the huge help
[22:56] <AnggaDj98> welcome
[22:57] <adzy> has anyone completed the comptia +linux course at all???
[22:57] <SupportMe> anyone playing assaultcube here?
[22:57] <cquaid> wow, he really wanted that xfce alot
[22:57] <vps> sir anyone has info about sip clients in ubuntu?
[22:57] <Ryu_Kurisu> robmillernow: I don't know what could be the problem....but you might consider to use http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ on that Windows PC to create the USB....or is the Windows PC completely broken?
[22:58] <SupportMe> what IRC clients do you guys use?
[22:59] <KM0201> !best | SupportMe
[22:59] <Ryu_Kurisu> And no problem robmillernow :) (just a tat bit early on the new year wishing...but I accept it nonetheless)
[22:59] <lucid_system> *bump* ;) come on you wonderful linux-ninjas! help me get this working ;) ive already been aty it for some hours now....
[22:59] <AnggaDj98> ok thanks ubottu
[22:59] <lucid_system> im trying to compile this with cmake: http://qdot.github.com/liblightstone/
[22:59] <CyL> Evening folks... I have a LUKS encrypted partition that I don't want to be automatically mounted on boot time, so I marked it as noauto in crypttab. However I'd like to make it mountable by a regular user by menas of an entry on fstab, automating the step of opening the LUKS vault. Is it possible?
[23:00] <CyL> Lol.. people are talking to the bot
[23:00] <lucid_system> but am only getting a specific error :  CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:11 (BUILDSYS_BUILD_LIB):  Unknown CMake command "BUILDSYS_BUILD_LIB".
[23:01] <rumpe1> lucid_system, well.. perhaps your cmake is too old...
[23:01] <nexace> can i use 'find' to search all of the files in a certain directory for the string "x" ?
[23:02] <rumpe1> nexace, x in filename or in file itself?
[23:02] <nexace> within the file itself
[23:02] <lucid_system> rumpel: i think its the last version... could it be to new? ;)
[23:02] <Ryu_Kurisu> CyL: I suggest Good (UGT) morning....not static is created using that :)
[23:02] <rumpe1> nexace, then use grep -r foo directory
[23:02] <lucid_system> rumpel: ver 2.8.2
[23:02] <quebecois> how to find a file using the find command?
[23:02] <nexace> thanks rumpe
[23:03] <rumpe1> lucid_system, i have 2.8.3-1 on natty ... could be an issue (i'm just guessing)
[23:03] <cosgroveb> my keyboard doesn't have a pgup or pgdwn key.. how can i assign a shortcut? like ctrl+up / ctrl+down?
[23:03] <cquaid> I do have a parting query Mr Thomas"
[23:04] <lucid_system> ok, will try, the file im trying to compile is not that new thou, so i dont think that should be it, but i will try
[23:04] <cquaid> how can I "reset" my gnome-keyring?
[23:05] <Ubuntu64> Good evening all.
[23:05] <cquaid> (I would like to change the password)
[23:05] <josh_g> Anyone know if using Update Manager from Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.03 will update properly to UNE 10.10?  or if it just installs the standard desktop edition?
[23:05] <cquaid> Good evening Ubuntu64!

[23:06] <lupo767> ciao
[23:06] <Ubuntu64> I am trying to run ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386 on my Windows 7 Virtual PC Console. I get as far as a splash screen that shows ubuntu 10.10 but ultimately it crashes my VM.  Any thoughts?
[23:06] <cosgroveb> my keyboard doesn't have a pgup or pgdwn key.. how can i assign a shortcut? like ctrl+up / ctrl+down?

[23:08] <Ograws> What do you need help with?
[23:08] <Ubuntu64> Same here.
[23:08] <nit-wit> cquaid, whats up
[23:08] <Administrator_> I have a linux Ubuntu computer that wont connect to the internet.
[23:08] <cquaid> cliguy is a great help with *buntu
[23:08] <rumpe1> cosgroveb, possibly this may help you: http://askubuntu.com/questions/3662/how-can-i-map-super-uparrow-to-pageup
[23:09] <Ograws> I have a windows computer that wont connect to the intern lol
[23:09] <KM0201> Administrator_: is it wireless, wired, etc?
[23:09] <Administrator_> Wired.
[23:09] <PhonicUK> hey all, I have an issue under 10.10 where none of my startup applications launch when I log in.
[23:09] <ilovefairuz> Ograws: /join ##windows
[23:09] <nit-wit> Ograws, hard plugged or wireless have you tried both
[23:09] <Ubuntu64> I have a Virtual Machine that crashes after the initial ubuntu splash screen.
[23:09] <KM0201> Administrator_: sounds like pretty bad luck...
[23:09] <Ograws> Why do I wanna join windows?
[23:10] <Administrator_> Is there no way to fix that?
[23:10] <ilovefairuz> Ograws: thought you were asking a question
[23:10] <ilovefairuz> !who | Ograws
[23:10] <KM0201> Administrator_: it'll probably be tough to track down... how is your device identified in lspci?
[23:10] <Ograws> I was making up a joke :-)
[23:11] <Administrator_> No idea...
[23:11] <nit-wit> Ograws,  you so funny.
[23:11] <Ograws> ilovefairuz: is this okay?
[23:11] <Ubuntu64> Are there some experts that I can direct my question to?
[23:11] <KM0201> Administrator_: well, thats where you start... open a terminal and type "lspci" no quotes, hit enter(thats a lowercase L) and find your ethernet device.. don't post the whole list here...
[23:12] <josh_g> anyone here done the 10.03 -> 10.10 upgrade using the netbook edition?
[23:12] <nullp0inter> hey guys so i got xubuntu installed for my destop, but there is no taskbar at the bottom, and when i minimize a window its no where to be found! lol help
[23:12] <gela> if I've reimaged a memory card, how can I reformat it to use it as a regular memory card?
[23:12] <ilovefairuz> Ograws: yes, that highlights the message to the person whose nickname you prefix the message with
[23:12] <josh_g> none of the docs make it clear whether the auto-upgrade thing works with netbook ed.
[23:12] <nit-wit> josh_g, why?
[23:12] <Romeria> KM0201: I changed my name to make it easier to identify me.
[23:12] <Ograws> iLovefairuz: sweet! can i ask you about ubuntu?
[23:12] <KM0201> Romeria: thats fine
[23:13] <nit-wit> josh_g, is it offered
[23:13] <ilovefairuz> gela: why not?
[23:13] <ilovefairuz> Ograws: yes
[23:13] <josh_g> nit-wit: doesn't seem clear to me whether using Update Manager to upgrade will properly install 10.10 netbook ed, or just install standard desktop ed
[23:13] <induz> [thor],  Thanks i got the files to copy to that folder
[23:13] <Romeria> I am trying what you said now.
[23:13] <induz> Thanks a lot guys
[23:13] <Ograws> iLovfairuz: Do I have to do anything on windows before installing it to my hard drive?
[23:13] <nullp0inter> anyone know about how to find something once its minimized in xubuntu
[23:13] <Ryu_Kurisu> josh_g: No, but I'd still advice a clean install (I've had problems with desktop upgrade 10.04>10.10)
[23:13] <gela> ilovefairuz, the card is not auto mounting.. I used dd to copy a bootable image to it for one reason, and I'd like to make the card usable for storage now
[23:13] <induz> leff_ helped me too
[23:14] <Ryu_Kurisu> nullp0inter: Alt+Tab?
[23:14] <ilovefairuz> Ograws: no you don't
[23:14] <[thor]> induz: good to hear! it only gets easier from here.
[23:14] <nit-wit> josh_g, `if your running the netbook version and update manager is showing a update your probably safe. I never upgrade thsi way though I have it all backed up for fresh installs much faster
[23:14] <ilovefairuz> Ograws: you can use the installer to repartition the drive if needed
[23:14] <induz> now the dictionary is working in hindi
[23:14] <Ograws> iLovefairuz: So I pop the cd-r into the drive and then got rhough some installation on screen?
[23:14] <induz> its very case sensitive
[23:14] <nit-wit> josh_g, just be backed up
[23:15] <Ryu_Kurisu> nit-wit: 10.04 normally doesn't slow normal dist upgrade....10.04 LTS ;)
[23:15] <nullp0inter> got it!
[23:15] <josh_g> thanks nit-wit & Ryu_Kurisu
[23:15] <nit-wit> Ryu_Kurisu, it will if you change the software soucers tab
[23:15] <nit-wit> *sources
[23:15] <Romeria> KM0201: I have a big list in front of me now.

[23:15] <C_R_C> I am looking for some help getting the advanced video effects in CompizCongifg working on a radeon firegl 900 video card. Any ideas?
[23:16] <KM0201> Romeria: find your ethernet device...
[23:16] <C_R_C> firegl 9000
[23:16] <ilovefairuz> Ograws: yes, but read the installer instructions carefully
[23:16] <Ryu_Kurisu> josh_g: IF you didn't have a separate /home partition...this might be a good time to create one :)
[23:16] <Ograws> iLovefairuz: I get a message that says something about defragmenter whats that?
[23:16] <ilovefairuz> gela: did you try mkdosfs on the card?
[23:16] <cawnc4> What do you guys think of unity?
[23:16] <AnggaDj98> ubottu vouz parler francais?
[23:16] <Ograws> iLovefairuz: Gnome is better
[23:16] <robmillernow_> okay.  I'm trying to replace the virus-laden Windows system on my 60-year-old Dad's 2005 Dell Inspiron laptop with Ubuntu 10.10.  Dad's Windows machine optical drive is defective, so I'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 via USB drive.  Using my Macbook (the only other working computer in the house), I followed the instructions on ubuntu.com to convert the Ubuntu 10.10 .iso to an .img, which put it on this new 8g USB drive.

[23:17] <dnivra> !fr | AnggaDj98
[23:17] <Romeria> KM0201: would it be called "Ethernet controller"?
[23:17] <ilovefairuz> Ograws: you get the message where?
[23:17] <nit-wit> Ryu_Kurisu, just so you understand I'm a experienced user that is systematic in getting information before advising, so correcting me is gooing to be a irritant.;)
[23:17] <josh_g> Ryu_Kuriso: on this little 8GB crappy aspire one? not likely

[23:17] <nit-wit> *going
[23:17] <Ograws> iLovefairuz: You know what I'm actually trying to install Xandros 4
[23:17] <josh_g> whoops meant Ryu_Kurisu
[23:17] <KM0201> !pastebin | Romeria   paste your lspci there and i'll look at it.
[23:17] <dnivra> !tab | josh_g
[23:18] <neiz> robmillernow_: In order to install ubuntu on the Inspiron, you need a bootable .iso on the USB.. .img is mac specific
[23:18] <Maahes> robmillernow_: how did you format the usb drive?
[23:18] <robmillernow_> to reiterate:  okay.  I'm trying to replace the virus-laden Windows system on my 60-year-old Dad's 2005 Dell Inspiron laptop with Ubuntu 10.10.  Dad's Windows machine optical drive is defective, so I'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 via USB drive.  Using my Macbook (the only other working computer in the house), I followed the instructions on ubuntu.com to convert the Ubuntu 10.10 .iso to an .img, which put it on this new

[23:18] <cquaid> nit-wit: lol!
[23:18] <nit-wit> Ryu_Kurisu, I have no problems with relative correction though.:)
[23:18] <cgcardona> how do I create a user who has the exact same privileges as root?
[23:18] <josh_g> ok, off to give this a try
[23:18] <josh_g> thanks
[23:18] <ilovefairuz> Ograws: we can only provide support for Ubuntu on this channel, please seek for Xandros in its dedicated channel or support forums
[23:18] <dnivra> cgcardona, rather give sudo privilege to the user.
[23:19] <Maahes> robmillernow_: how did you format the usb drive
[23:19] <cawnc4> robmillernow_I have never seen that problem, maybe try it again, be patient and someone will answer your problem this IRC is really good
[23:19] <Ograws> iLovefairuz: Thanks for the help anyway :-)
[23:19] <lumos> hey i have manually installed my gfx drivers but now it says i do not appear to be using them and am running in low gfx mode, i tried sudo nvidia-xconfig but it says
[23:19] <lumos> Using X configuration file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf".
[23:19] <lumos> Backed up file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' as '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'
[23:19] <lumos> New X configuration file written to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'
[23:19] <lumos> could someone help  me please
[23:19] <FloodBot4> lumos: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:20] <cawnc4> robmillernow_  is the flash drive the only USB device in?
[23:20] <neiz> robmillernow_: basically, don't convert the .iso to .img... just make the bootable USB with the .iso
[23:20] <robmillernow_> Maahes - it was FAT32 coming from the manufacturer ...  it says that it's "ISO 9660 (Rockridge)" when i do a Get Info on it in my mac
[23:20] <dnivra> cgcardona, hope this helps https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo#Users.
[23:20] <ilovefairuz> cgcardona: sudo privileges? add them to the wheel group
[23:20] <Maahes> robmillernow_: Okay, how did you create a live USB system, on the USB?
[23:20] <induz> is there any Update cli commanda
[23:21] <induz> ??
[23:21] <Romeria> KM0201: How would I paste it there? It is on a seperate computer.
[23:21] <induz> command
[23:21] <Maahes> induz: yes, dpkg apt-get and aptitude
[23:21] <C_R_C> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo#Users.https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo#Users.
[23:21] <aanti>  load
[23:21] <KM0201> Romeria: well, do you see "ethernet device" or "Netwrk controller"
[23:21] <robmillernow_> neiz - Maahes - i was following the instructions i found on Step 2 here - http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/get-ubuntu/download
[23:21] <kukenifittan> hai2u
[23:21] <kukenifittan> 1358 people in the support channel for Ubuntu
[23:21] <kukenifittan> how come?
[23:21] <KM0201> cgcardona: you can also use "sudo -s" ... it's similar to sudo -su  but stays the "ubuntu way"
[23:22] <Ryu_Kurisu> robmillernow_: was the windows pc not usable anymore?
[23:22] <ilovefairuz> induz: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[23:22] <cquaid> we watin 4 you kukenifittan , we luv
[23:22] <robmillernow_> the windows PC is only usable as a shell upon which Ubuntu can be put...
[23:22] <cgcardona> dnivra: so to create a new user I 'sudo adduser username' - then how do I give that user sudo privilege?
[23:22] <robmillernow_> it's really useless as a practical machine in any fashion.
[23:23] <dnivra> cgcardona, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo#Users has the command :).
[23:23] <Maahes> robmillernow_: have you confirmed whether or not it will boot up on your macbook?
[23:23] <cquaid> we luv ubuntu tu i fink
[23:23] <LogicallyDashing> cgcardona, I think you just add the username to /etc/sudoers
[23:23] <cgcardona> sorry - my irc is lagged and I didn't see the link before I asked the question ;)
[23:23] <cawnc4> ryu_kurisu: im guessing the viruses have compromised its usefulness
[23:23] <kukenifittan> cquaid what?
[23:23] <breadcrumb> if you add a user to the "admin" group, they will be able to sudo
[23:23] <robmillernow_> hmm.  interesting question.  that would require a restart and holding down Alt to force boot from the USB, right?
[23:23] <dnivra> LogicallyDashing, or add them to group admin
[23:23] <Maahes> robmillernow_: yes.
[23:24] <robmillernow_> i'll go check and come right back.
[23:24] <Maahes> robmillernow_: I'll also make a suggestion: the easiest way to make the usb system, is actually the windows way.
[23:24] <robmillernow_> thanks already, guys.
[23:24] <cawnc4> Maahes i was about to say that, its ezpz on windows
[23:24]  * skraito say hi all
[23:25] <Maahes> cawnc4: mainly because the pendrive linux installer includes an easy creation tool for casper-rw
[23:25] <Romeria> KM0201: I doubt you will be able to help me now... I'm using 5.10
[23:25] <cawnc4> uhg i hate unity (packaged with UNR)
[23:25] <robmillernow_> and yes, if i had a Windows machine, i'd've already done that -- but i really do feel like i followed the obtuse Ubuntu instructions well.
[23:25] <KM0201> Romeria: well duh.. why are you using such an old distro?.. it's WAY past end of life.. you need to download 10.04 or 10.10 and install them.
[23:25] <kukenifittan> I have a problem with connecting a phone with USB
[23:25] <kukenifittan> some page says I have to recompile the kernel
[23:26] <kukenifittan> can that really be true?
[23:26] <Romeria> KM0201: how would I do that??
[23:26] <Maahes> kukenifittan: um, it very well could be.
[23:26] <kukenifittan> serious?
[23:26] <Maahes> what page, what phone?
[23:26] <kukenifittan> how do I recompile the kernel then?
[23:26] <KM0201> Romeria: download 10.10, burn it, and install it... didnt you install 5.10
[23:26] <KM0201> ?
[23:26] <Romeria> KM0201: I found the the disc btw, thats why Im using it.
[23:26] <kukenifittan> Samsung Galaxy S
[23:26] <robmillernow_> Maahes - and yes, if i had a Windows machine, i'd've already done that -- but i really do feel like i followed the obtuse Ubuntu instructions well.
[23:26] <AnggaDj98> can you install ubuntu on a tablet?
[23:26] <breadcrumb> Romeria, go to ubuntu.com and grab the latest distro. dont even try to do an upgrade installation, 5.10 is too old
[23:26] <cawnc4> robmillernow_ did it work on your macbook?
[23:26] <breadcrumb> *latest version
[23:26] <Ryu_Kurisu> kukenifittan: go to the USB settings on your device....change it to asks which you want :D
[23:27] <jasont308> hi all.
[23:27] <KM0201> Romeria: well, that release is about 5yrs old.. it'd be a lot better to download 10.04 or 10.10
[23:27] <kukenifittan> Ryu_Kurisu I did that but it doesn't work
[23:27] <AnggaDj98> Romeria dont do update managers as they are fond to bugs
[23:27] <robmillernow_> Maahes - cawnc4 - trying macbook boot now - brb
[23:27] <KM0201> Romeria: do you have a blank CD you can burn, on the working computer?
[23:27] <Maahes> kukenifittan: what are you wanting to do with it?
[23:27] <kukenifittan> the site is here btw but it's in Swedish: http://ubuntu.se/showthread.php/12517-Problem-mount-usb-Samsung-Galaxy-S-Android
[23:27] <kukenifittan> transfer files
[23:27] <Ryu_Kurisu> kukenifittan: You said to use it as a mass storage device?
[23:27] <jasont308> having a slight with postfix and dovecot it will deliver mail localy but not to anywhere else..
[23:27] <kukenifittan> it works on Windows
[23:27] <kukenifittan> Ryu_Kurisu yes
[23:27] <jasont308> problem even
[23:27] <Romeria> KM0201: So all I need to do is burn 10.10, and put it in there, and the install should start? Or do I need to wipe the computer?
[23:27] <cawnc4> romeria - km0201 - wouldnt it be easier to use a USB flash drive, if you have one
[23:28] <AnggaDj98> romeria
[23:28] <AnggaDj98> wait sorry
[23:28] <KM0201> cawnc4: sure it would, but not all computers boot USB's....
[23:28] <AnggaDj98> romeria download ubuntu 10.10 and burn the iso to disk then reboot and boot to disk and set your ubuntu there
[23:28] <cawnc4> km0201 what are you running? i love old computers!
[23:28] <rumpe1> Romeria, first create a backup of your data
[23:29] <KM0201> cawnc4: what i'm running is irrelevant, i didn't say i don't like old pc's, i just said, somme old pc's can't boot a USB device
[23:29] <cawnc4> woops ment the other guy
[23:29] <Maahes> kukenifittan: it seems as if there is no binary driver avaialable yet, which means yes, you would have to recompile and add the kernel module
[23:29] <kukenifittan> Maahes that sounds like a pai n
[23:29] <Ryu_Kurisu> What do you get on your Galaxy when you connect...a green android asking to connect?
[23:29] <Maahes> And as for recompiling a kernel....um, you'll need to read some tutorials for a couple of weeks minimum.
[23:29] <Ryu_Kurisu> kukenifittan: What do you get on your Galaxy when you connect...a green android asking to connect?
[23:29] <KM0201> Romeria: ?
[23:30] <kukenifittan> Ryu_Kurisu yes
[23:30] <kukenifittan> but the phone doesn't show up as a mount point
[23:30] <kukenifittan> not in Konqueror either
[23:30] <Romeria> Well, I also hear you can have this newest Ubuntu and windows running on one machine..?
[23:30] <Ryu_Kurisu> kukenifittan: Does it change to orange when you confirm?
[23:30] <AnggaDj98> romeria: dualboot
[23:30] <KM0201> Romeria: yes... it's called a dual boot..
[23:30] <Maahes> Romeria: yes. You can do that with all ubuntu versions
[23:30] <cawnc4> or wubi i beleive
[23:30] <kukenifittan> Ryu_Kurisu it asks me if I want to connect the usb storage to the computer
[23:30] <Maahes> And yes using wubi you can install and run ubuntu inside of windows
[23:30] <kukenifittan> and I press that button
[23:30] <AnggaDj98> romeria: run wubi and install inside windows
[23:31] <Maahes> I personally don't recommend it
[23:31] <cawnc4> but from what I have heard it runs better dual booted
[23:31] <KM0201> don't use wubi.. unless you're just dying to wreck a system
[23:31] <AnggaDj98> because you cant hibernate and such
[23:31] <Maahes> cawnc4: it does.
[23:31] <kukenifittan> and the phone seems to be ready but the computer like isn't responding
[23:31] <cawnc4> then installing inside windows
[23:31] <kukenifittan> why would you install ubuntu in windows btw?
[23:31] <kukenifittan> windows isn't open-source
[23:31] <cawnc4> idk but some people do...
[23:31] <kukenifittan> or free
[23:31] <Ryu_Kurisu> kukenifittan: which version are you running of android and ubuntu?
[23:31] <AnggaDj98> cawnc4 i did
[23:31] <kukenifittan> I use Ubuntu because I want my software to be open-source
[23:31] <Maahes> kukenifittan: you don't have to partition your drive, and you basically are installing ubuntu in a vm to try it out on windows
[23:31] <miststlkr> hate to ask here, but is there a specific channel for virtualbox help?
[23:32] <kukenifittan> even though it's a pain compared to Windows
[23:32] <kukenifittan> naturally
[23:32] <cawnc4> AnggaDj98 how did it work for you?
[23:32] <wildfire100> hi i just downloaded a theme, wnt into my apereance setting tried to install it but an error massage popped up saying, cant move directory over directory, how do i fix this?
[23:32] <kukenifittan> Ryu_Kurisu Android is 2.2
[23:32]  * Maahes finds ubuntu to be less of a pain than windows
[23:32] <AnggaDj98> cawnc4 what do you mean/
[23:32] <kukenifittan> let me see what version of Ubuntu it is
[23:32] <kukenifittan> Maahes lol then you're in luck
[23:32] <trijntje> miststlkr, #vbox
[23:32] <kukenifittan> I've worked with this for like 5 hours
[23:32] <dnivra> miststlkr, #vbox. and you should have perhaps asked that in #freenode.
[23:32] <miststlkr> ignore me... that was a stupid question
[23:32] <kukenifittan> on Windows it worked perfectly from the start =(
[23:32] <cawnc4> AnggaDj98 was it noticably slow compaired to a dualbooted system since it also had to run windows software
[23:32] <doomage> allo guys
[23:33] <AnggaDj98> i used vista for 2 years and it takes 20 minutes to boot and 10 minutes to shutdown
[23:33] <Maahes> kukenifittan: that's because they wrote windows drivers, and not really linux drivers.
[23:33] <cawnc4> lawl vista
[23:33] <kukenifittan> I didn't need drivers on Windows though
[23:33] <kukenifittan> vista sucks lol
[23:33] <robmillernow> ookay - no, this drive does NOT boot on my Macbook either
[23:33] <wildfire100> help anyone?
[23:33] <AnggaDj98> nice ubuntu: 50 seconds to boot and 6 seconds to shutdown
[23:33] <miststlkr> dnivra: thanks, #virtualbox forwarded me there anyway... I don't know why I didn't try that first
[23:33] <[thor]> :D ubuntu boots for me in 15 seconds
[23:33] <[thor]> yay for SSD
[23:33] <KM0201> comparing vista to any operating system other than WIndows ME, should be a crime
[23:33] <dnivra> miststlkr, :). np.
[23:33] <hellojoe> hi I have ubuntu installed on my laptop but grub doesnt work anymore, I bootet from cd, what can I do to repair grub?
[23:33] <cawnc4> yea bout 15 seconds aswell
[23:33] <AnggaDj98> 1 minute 20 seconds and 10 seconds boot&shutdown with dualboot
[23:33] <Maahes> robmillernow: Try remaking the drive using the "from ubuntu" method, via a live CD. It's point and click
[23:33] <dnivra> !fixgrub | hellojoe
[23:34] <AnggaDj98> now im off vista and full ubuntu!
[23:34] <kukenifittan> why not Windows 7?
[23:34] <hellojoe> thanks
[23:34] <[thor]> my boot --> http://videobin.org/+31a/3c5.html
[23:34] <AnggaDj98> ok
[23:34] <cawnc4> windows 7 takes awhile to boot too
[23:34] <AnggaDj98> yes
[23:34] <Maahes> miststlkr: I believe there is #virtualbox
[23:34] <Ryu_Kurisu> kukenifittan: Can you find which version Ubuntu you run?
[23:34] <robmillernow> Maahes - hmm.  Live CD - okay, let me investigate that.
[23:34] <cgcardona> when I 'sudo adduser username admin' I get 'adduser: The group `admin' does not exist.' what group should I add my new user to to give them sudo powers?
[23:34] <[thor]> err.. ok.. so after transcoding, that will be my boot video :D
[23:34] <micah> Hay a red alert sign just popped up at the top bar, i clicked it and it opened up the update manager, but no updates were available? what do i have to do?
[23:35] <cawnc4> Ryu_kurisu i know it shows you what subversion you have when you install via the terminal
[23:35] <AnggaDj98> micah its for ubuntu11.04 a1
[23:35] <kukenifittan> Ryu_Kurisu Ubuntu 8
[23:35] <kukenifittan> I think
[23:35] <micah> is 11 finsihed yet?
[23:36] <Ryu_Kurisu> cawnc4: Not subversion (SVN), Ubuntu version ;))
[23:36] <dnivra> micah, i think you have to update your package lists.
[23:36] <AnggaDj98> !search me
[23:36] <AnggaDj98> wtf?
[23:36] <micah> Ok one sec
[23:36] <Yeti> i need some help setting up my built in memory card needs to read xd and sd cards
[23:36] <AnggaDj98> yeti me too
[23:36] <Ryu_Kurisu> kukenifittan: You can find it in System Monitor (inside System menu) or in terminal with uname
[23:37] <AnggaDj98> my dell vostro 1400 cant detect sd card reader reading nds microsd
[23:37] <cawnc4> but uname isnt very specific
[23:37] <kukenifittan> Ryu_Kurisu I'm not in Ubuntu right now though
[23:37] <kukenifittan> I was looking at the CD
[23:37] <kukenifittan> I used to install
[23:37] <Yeti> i am running 10.10 on an aspire one zg5
[23:37] <cawnc4> anggadj98 check ubuntuforums.org dell section for those problems
[23:37] <micah> Its saying its failing to update the list, my connection is stable?
[23:38] <cawnc4> the dell section has abunch of the dell specific problems fixed
[23:38] <Airris> Hey guys, I've got a new hard drive to format. Now that's done, putting new install on. I want to just select one partition and use that as the general thing for all of the OS, not segregating areas for swap, home, etc. How do I do that?
[23:38] <dnivra> micah, what other messages are said along with failed to update list?
[23:38] <Maahes> wildfire100: check your .themes folder, and if there's a folder there that is named after whatever isn't installing, delete it.
[23:38] <micah> W:Failed to fetch http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/dists/edgy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz  404  Not Found

[23:38] <Maahes> I believe there is also #ubuntu-dell
[23:39] <cawnc4> Airris the newer ubuntu installs dont put a section for swap
[23:39] <dnivra> micah, try another mirror. might work.
[23:39] <Maahes> Airris: by default you only have two partitions: Swap, and the main partition.
[23:39] <micah> how do i do that?
[23:39] <Maahes> You can set swap to 0 if you have a lot of ram, and don't care about it.
[23:40] <mattw_> I'm trying to do apt-get -f install from a bash login
[23:40] <mattw_> but my internet is PPP
[23:40] <mattw_> how can I connect PPP without gdm :(
[23:40] <Ryu_Kurisu> Well...Ubuntu 8 (.04 or .10) are very old...being April 2008 or October 2008. I would first suggest upgrading to 10.10 or something similar. Or 10.04 which is LTS (Long Time Service) (I presume you have 8.04 which is also a LTS). (My preference is 10.10, better in my experience)
[23:40] <dnivra> micah, i guess System -> Administration -> Software Sources.
[23:40] <dnivra> mattw_, pon/poff/pppoeconf.
[23:40] <cawnc4> Maahes, if there is a #ubuntu-dell thats not the name
[23:40] <mattw_> dnivra thank you
[23:40] <digitalfiz> how do i make it so ctrl+t doesnt open terminal?
[23:41] <mattw_> Also, where can I find the ubuntu repositories because I'm going to have to configure apt manually
[23:41] <robmillernow> Maahes - I'm only finding vague suggestions and broken pages about what you're talking about with a Live CD - got a link?
[23:41] <Airris> Does swap need a separate partition to work, or is it just common practice?
[23:41] <AnggaDj98> cawnc4 then what is it?
[23:41] <AnggaDj98> airris swap needs partition
[23:41] <dnivra> digitalfiz, System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts.
[23:41] <Ryu_Kurisu> kukenifittan: Well...Ubuntu 8 (.04 or .10) are very old...being April 2008 or October 2008. I would first suggest upgrading to 10.10 (latest version of Ubuntu). Or 10.04 which is LTS (Long Time Service) (I presume you have 8.04 which is also a LTS). (My preference is 10.10, better in my experience)
[23:41] <doomage> can anyone help me with jdownloader???
[23:41] <kefu> exit
[23:41] <cawnc4> AnggaDj98 i dont know, i just tried it and im the only person there, looking now
[23:41] <kefu> how to exit irssi ?
[23:41] <Braber01> Hi I just created a Server on my desktop and told it to install the software for a mail server however is it possible to also use this personal server to hide all my files I don't want people to see?
[23:41] <AnggaDj98> ok
[23:41] <AnggaDj98> wait there
[23:41] <kukenifittan> Ryu_Kurisu ok will that make so I won't have to recompile the kernel?
[23:41] <kukenifittan> to get a USB storage device to work?
[23:41] <dnivra> mattw_, why do you have to configure apt manually? it should be configured by itself i think.
[23:42] <AnggaDj98> do you see ,e?
[23:42] <cainus_> hey all... what's the easiest way to install ubuntu on a box that already has some other linux distro on it?
[23:42] <Airris> wait, the other guy said it doesn't put a section for swap.
[23:42] <mattw_> dnvira I have an insane problem with being completely unable to download something without hashsum mismatches, the default install CD doesn't work on my model of internet card, and my country uses PPP connections
[23:42] <mattw_> Life sucks
[23:42] <Airris> cainus to you have several partitions or one big one?
[23:42] <Airris> *do you
[23:42] <dnivra> cainus_, well you can wubi if you have windows or you can install side by side with all existing OS.
[23:43] <Ryu_Kurisu> kukenifittan: You won't need to manually recompile the kernel, seeing a more recent kernel is automatically installed. I do suggest a fresh install compared to a upgrade :)
[23:43] <cainus_> Airris: just one big one
[23:43] <Airris> aww
[23:43] <Alagos> how can I create flash Flip Book in ubuntu?
[23:43] <digitalfiz> dnivra, ty :)
[23:43] <dnivra> Airris, 4 is the max number of partitions. i use an extended partition to have more than that.
[23:43] <dnivra> digitalfiz, no problem :)
[23:43] <cainus_> I just want to overwrite the current OS
[23:43] <mattw_> dnivra:  if I could do it.. I would put PPPOECONF on a freaking minimal install CD and somehow put it on a USB stick
[23:43] <cainus_> don't need for them to run side-by-side
[23:43] <mattw_> dnivra: but I have no idea how to do any of that
[23:43] <Maahes> robmillernow: In ubuntu under System > Administration there is an option called "Create Startup Disk" you make a live CD, use that option to make the startup usb.
[23:44] <kukenifittan> Ryu_Kurisu ok
[23:44] <dnivra> mattw_, are you saying that you don't have pppoeconf by default?
[23:44] <mattw_> dnivra:  not on the minimal cd
[23:44] <leftist> is there a channel for mysql?
[23:44] <nibbler_> is there any way to get 3d of old ati cards running in ubuntu 10.10?
[23:44] <elroi> rtfm!
[23:44] <cawnc4> would enabling proprietary drivers possibly help a SD card reading problem?
[23:44] <Maahes> leftist: #mysql ?
[23:44] <dnivra> mattw_, i see. well out of luck there then :).
[23:44] <Airris> alright so backtracking. I usually don't have extra partitions to deal with. using smaller drives. etc. So i tend to choose the basic "erase everything and install option". What i was asking is if there's a way on the "prepare partitions" screen to do an option equivalent to that managed one, except just targeting one partition
[23:45] <Raymond> Hi all, I have Ubuntu 10.04 LTS installed on a netbook, but want to install the netbook version to replace it, if I "Install alongside other operating systems", will this install like the ubuntu update 9 to 10? i.e. give you an option at boot up and all your data and software will still be there
[23:45] <dnivra> mattw_, i have a PPP connection too BTW :).
[23:45] <[thor]> Alagos: have you tried flipbook in the package ivtools-bin ?
[23:45] <Maahes> cawnc4: if there's a proprietary driver for your reader. The list of of drivers to install for your system, tells you what they do
[23:45] <Airris> I want the automatic behavior, just used over a particular partition, not the entire drive
[23:45] <cainus_> do I need to burn a disk to install ubuntu on this box?  or can I just install over top of the existing OS?
[23:45] <mattw_> dnivra: hate
[23:45] <Airris> cainus_: probably a disk
[23:45] <cainus_> ahh okay :\
[23:46] <Airris> use the torrent download, it's so much faster ;)
[23:46] <cainus_> k
[23:46] <robmillernow> Maahes - I don't have a system that's running Ubuntu.  The only working system i have is a Macbook running OS X
[23:46] <Maahes> robmillernow: thus download and burn a live cd
[23:46] <Alagos> [thor]: Is It optimazed for creating books?
[23:46] <dnivra> Raymond, 'Install alongside' would mean that your present OS' would be left unaffected.
[23:46] <cawnc4> robmillernow_do you have parrallels?
[23:46] <dnivra> Raymond, you can install ubuntu on a existing partition. as long as you don't format it, /home will not be erased.
[23:47] <Maahes> Airris: if you're wanting to install it in it's own partition, and not overwrite an existing partition, use the "install alongside" option.
[23:47] <nibbler_> how to find out if i have a 32 or 64bit system?
[23:47] <Airris> it didn't give me that one because there isn't any OS to install alongside
[23:47] <Braber01> I'm trying to ftp to a server that I just set up but I'm getting a connection refused error can anybody help me?
[23:47] <Maahes> By default though, you need Two Partitions for the OS: / and /swap
[23:47] <Ryu_Kurisu> Airris: It's also more certain the download will be complete...I don't know to how you were replying...hence I do it to you :D
[23:47] <Braber01> I've tried it both ways too.
[23:48] <Raymond> dnivra: I had a feeling it was something like that. I would then have to go to the advanced install then I guess as the other option is to erase the entire disk
[23:48] <Maahes> Airris: ah. Why not just install it the normal way and not use the entire disk for the OS? leave unallocated space.
[23:48] <dnivra> nibbler_, 'uname -a'. that will tell you if your OS is 32 or 64bit.
[23:48] <nibbler_> dnivra, thanks
[23:48] <dnivra> nibbler_, np :)
[23:48] <Airris> Maahes: I just went through the trouble of using another partioner to set everything up. I need NTFS on one of the drives
[23:48] <Airris> er, partitions
[23:48] <Ryu_Kurisu> Maahes: Swap is not needed but highly suggested and should be as much as the RAM if you want hibernation :)
[23:48] <dnivra> Raymond, yeah 'Specify partitions manually' i think it is known as.
[23:49] <Maahes> Ryu_Kurisu: I've already mentioned that ^_^
[23:49] <Ryu_Kurisu> Maahes: Sorry xD
[23:49] <Maahes> Airris: okay, what does your partition table look like now?
[23:49] <AnggaDj98> isnt swap=RAM?
[23:49] <AnggaDj98> no?
[23:49] <Maahes> AnggaDj98: no.
[23:49] <AnggaDj98> ok
[23:49] <Maahes> It's disk space once you run out of ram
[23:50] <AnggaDj98> ok thanks
[23:50] <wosxs> Hi
[23:50] <induz> is VMWare available on Ubuntu
[23:50] <robmillernow> Maahes - i can't do anything in Ubuntu
[23:50] <Ryu_Kurisu> induz: Yes :)
[23:50] <induz> is VMWare freeware
[23:50] <Raymond> dnivra: OK, i've selected it, there are a number of partitions, but only one is EXT4 which is what i selected when I installed ubuntu initially, so this would be the one to install onto?
[23:50] <dnivra> !virtualbox | induz
[23:50] <AnggaDj98> robmillernow: wtffffff
[23:50] <Maahes> robmillernow: what does that mean?
[23:50] <Braber01> on a Server do I just install open ssh-server or to I install the whole open SSH?
[23:50] <wosxs> I have a problem, my computer doesn't detect my keyboard and mouse after 3 minutes of being in the login screen
[23:50] <AnggaDj98> you can do everything in ubuntu
[23:50] <[thor]> Alagos: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/maverick/man1/flipbook.1.html
[23:50] <Ryu_Kurisu> induz: As suggested bij dnivra; I prefer VirtualBox :)
[23:50] <wosxs> it seems to be a usb problem related to xorg.conf
[23:50] <Airris> Maahes: sda1 - ext4 , sda2- ntfs, sda3, fat32, sda4 ntfs. I know you're advised to install windows first but i'm not going to be able to do that immediately, i'm just leaving the stuff in place to do it later. One 80 GB partition for windows. a general purpose 8 GB partition for formatting, and a large NTFS data drive either one can use since Ubuntu reads NTFS
[23:50] <dnivra> Braber01, openssh-server. i think openssh-client is installed by default.
[23:51] <uzi__> How can I make MD auto-detect wait for USB partitions to become available?
[23:51] <induz> is VMware on Ubuntu?  I see so many options on Package manager
[23:51] <Maahes> induz: otherwise I believe VM Ware will run on any linux box, provided you set it up.
[23:51] <lekremyelsew> I just installed a copy of ubuntu 10.10 on my desktop and when I used the live CD I had to use the nomodeset option otherwise I would get
[23:51] <dnivra> Raymond, guess so yeah.
[23:51] <induz> is VMWare is freeware
[23:51] <Maahes> Airris: Yeah, you're boned. You have to use the manual partitioner.
[23:51] <induz> or I have to buy it?
[23:51] <Maahes> induz: not it is not
[23:51] <Maahes> It is expensive
[23:51] <[thor]> Alagos: also this http://www.ivtools.org/ivtools/flipbook.html
[23:51] <robmillernow> Maahes - it means that the only working system i have is my Macbook -- it's what i'm using now to chat, it's where i downloaded Ubuntu, and it's where I'm creating the USB drive.  I have no other working system here.  The Windows machine is too virus- and spyware-laden.
[23:52] <Maahes> virtualbox is freeware
[23:52] <dnivra> induz, prefer virtualbox. it's good enough.
[23:52] <induz> I know about VBox
[23:52] <Airris> Maahes: Ok, so manual needed. What am I doing?
[23:52] <Batjew> Hey guys, I'm having trouble with 3d acceleration
[23:52] <AnggaDj98> batjew what help?
[23:52] <induz> I have Vbox
[23:52] <AnggaDj98> batjew what trouble?
[23:52] <robmillernow> AnggaDj98 - let me start from the beginning -
[23:52] <Batjew> well my laptop doesnt seem to have working 3d acceleration
[23:52] <uzi__> Please Help. How can I make MD auto-detect wait for USB partitions to become available?
[23:52] <robmillernow> okay.  I'm trying to replace the virus-laden Windows system on my 60-year-old Dad's 2005 Dell Inspiron laptop with Ubuntu 10.10.  Dad's Windows machine optical drive is defective, so I'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 via USB drive.  Using my Macbook (the only other working computer in the house), I followed the instructions on ubuntu.com to convert the Ubuntu 10.10 .iso to an .img, which put it on this new 8g USB drive...
[23:53] <doomage> can anyone help me with jdownloader???
[23:53] <robmillernow> ...I switched the boot order in BIOS on Dad's Windows laptop to try and force it to boot from USB.  Restarted laptop, but getting "No boot sector on USB device" error.  I've also since learned that this USB drive also doesn't boot on my Macbook. Can anyone help?
[23:53] <Batjew> Compiz randomly stopped working months ago, but i only pinned it down when Civ 4 wouldnt run in Vbox
[23:53] <Raymond> dnivra: you GUESS so? No problems, the logic sound good :) I've made sure that I have NOT selected to format the partition :) Thanks for the help...
[23:53] <juboba> where can I ask about aptana studio?
[23:53] <robmillernow> that's what's going on.
[23:53] <Batjew> im trying to install the nvidia xorg drivers but having big problems there
[23:53] <Maahes> robmillernow: Do you have a blank CD? Do you have a CD Image? Burn that image onto the blank cd. Insert CD into drive, log out of OSX, boot as Ubuntu. Mount the hardrive in your laptop. Put the USB drive in. Use Startup Disk Creator. Point it at the .iso image on your laptop, and at your usb drive. Finish, Reboot, try booting from the USB drive.
[23:53] <Braber01> Can I not ftp to my home server because it has to go through a router or something?

[23:54] <dnivra> Raymond, since you've said that it is where the original install existed, it should be that :). don't format-/home will remain unaffected. if unsure of the partition, mount it to confirm :).

[23:54] <lekremyelsew> I just installed a copy of ubuntu 10.10 on my desktop and when I used the live CD I had to use the nomodeset option otherwise I would get a signal over range error on my monitor. Now that its installed I cant edit the boot options because the boot process skips right over grub and boots to the login screen (that I can't even see) Can someone tell me how to access the boot options when I start up the computer or just help me fi
[23:54] <lekremyelsew> x the problem?
