[03:40] <Aer> do you mind if i ask what the "--dry-run" is for ? or am i gonna have to google ? :P
[03:41] <Aer> ahh ok
[03:41] <Aer> so the dry run kinda tests it ?
[03:41] <ilovefairuz> Aer: you don't have to google, use 'man'
[03:41] <Dulak> Aer: it shows you what would happen if you install, without actually doing the final bits
[03:41] <Aer> ok thanks ilovefairuz :)
[03:41] <Aer> ohh nice Dulak, thats handy to know :D
[03:41] <FalseLobster> jags: so with the open source one I wouldn't need the Catalyst Control Center, either... ?

[03:42] <Aer> nice :D
[03:43] <hartkrisp> hi, have a problem installing, and i have determined it must be hardware related. i've tried installing via usb and cd, and also just installing via wubi inside windows. whenever i get the the gui, the screen is offset and overlapping(sorry, that is the best way i can describe it) i'm on an hp laptop, with the amd tl-60 and the 7150m graphics adapter. i've had ubuntu on this machine before,
[03:43] <hartkrisp> but i believe it was 9.04
[03:43] <rodrigo79> How do I install ubuntu 10.10 on a intel fakeraid partition? I can't get grub to boot it
[03:44] <jags> FalsAlarm, you'll want to completely uninstall fglrx if you have any packages, https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa
[03:45] <jags> FalseLobster,  https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa*
[03:45] <step21> hartkrisp, how have you dtermined this? actually that it worked in previous ubuntu versions or on windows is evidence it is not hardware related
[03:45] <FalseLobster> jags: I'm getting all these errors trying to remove the fglrx packages
[03:46] <jags> FalsAlarm, are you using synaptic?
[03:46] <misterB> Can anyone here tell me how to set default permissions on files uploaded to my ubuntu ftp server?
[03:46] <yariel> hello
[03:46] <hartkrisp> well, i shouldn't have said determined, this was just my conclusion based on atempts with both usb and cd installations.
[03:46] <jags> FalseLobster, are you using synaptic*
[03:46] <FalseLobster> jags: Should I be using that over the Ubuntu Software Center ?
[03:46] <jags> FalseLobster, either one
[03:46] <blakkheim> FalseLobster: use aptitude
[03:47] <a1fa> whats the best openvpn client for ubuntu
[03:47] <jags> FalseLobster, synaptic has more info i think
[03:47] <Aer> but im logging out now , need sleep thanks for all your help tonight guys :)
[03:47] <EUdirektivet> nite:)
[03:48] <Aer> :)
[03:48] <step21> hartkrisp, well, as longs as you know for sure that older versions or windows etc. also have this problem I'm pretty sure it's not the hardware. especially with this kind of error. you are not using an external screen on the laptop, are you?
[03:48] <hartkrisp> no, there are no external devices on the compter
[03:49] <FalseLobster> jags: I'm trying the removal through synaptic this time, thanks for the help
[03:49] <step21> hartkrisp, if you can do anything, did you try setting a new resolution?
[03:50] <kachingo> Hi, I'm having troubled with my wired networking, for some reason although my wireless works fine and wlan0 exists, eth0 does not exist. I can't find the device listed anywhere. It has definitely worked previously
[03:50] <Integrity_> kachingo: whats the problem ?
[03:50] <rodrigo79> how the hell the ubuntu 10.10 setup doesn't install the "dmraid" package???? Jesus titty Christ!!!
[03:50] <step21> kachingo, cable plugged in right?
[03:50] <hartkrisp> well, i'm sitting on a working windows 7 install right now, i have yet to be able to install. when the gui boots for install i have the same problem, as with trying a live boot. so all i have intalled right now is through the wubi install inside windows.
[03:51] <kachingo> yeah cable's plugged in but light doesn't show on ethernet switch
[03:51] <step21> hartkrisp, what if you install an earlier version that works and then upgrade?
[03:51] <step21> would be easiest i thionk
[03:51] <hartkrisp> ok, i will try that and check back. thank you.
[03:53] <Kaizen> anyone know how i can fix these two errors plz?  /usr/bin/mandb: bad fetch on multi key termcap  5   and   /usr/bin/mandb: index cache /var/cache/man/29918 corrupt
[03:53] <a1fa> does anyone know a ubuntu openvpn client?
[03:53] <kk9822> hi
[03:53] <kachingo> infact, I can't even see my ethernet NIC in lspci. My wireless NIC shows up fine but that's the only one that's listed
[03:53] <jasonlife> On lucid, what  auto mount DVD rom when it is inserted?
[03:54] <jasonlife> nautilus? hal, polkit?
[03:54] <step21> a1fa, just search software center/synaptic vor openvpb?
[03:54] <step21> *openvpn
[03:54] <fishcooker> i've problem with printing size
[03:54] <Kaizen> a1fa openvpn have an openvpn client
[03:54] <fishcooker> my doc over than a4
[03:54] <fishcooker> i think a3
[03:55] <FalseLobster> Alright, gonna reboot see if this works.
[03:55] <a1fa> Kaizen: i dont want the console tool.. i want the a gui client
[03:55] <kk9822> can aby one help me in makina active x run
[03:55] <step21> it will show everything, not just console
[03:56] <kk9822> any
[03:56] <step21> also, all guis use the console client
[03:56] <Kaizen> a1fa there are some in software centre but they still require manual config
[03:56] <kk9822> in fire fox
[03:56] <ilovefairuz> kk9822: it won't
[03:57] <kachingo> Integrity_: Sorry, to clarify: I have two NICs, a wireless card and a regular wired ethernet NIC. They both used to work fine, but I haven't used a wired connection in a while and when I tried to today the wired NIC doesn't seem to exist anymore, there is no eth0 interface and I can't even find the device at all
[03:58] <kk9822> some softwares get stuck
[03:58] <kk9822> without it
[03:58] <kk9822> why
[03:58] <Integrity_> kachingo: check all  your physical connections , are all lights on , is the card fastened tightly ?
[03:58] <manuel_> i just downloaded libreoffice, how do i install the program?
[03:58] <ilovefairuz> kk9822: because this is a gnu/linux system, not windows
[03:59] <AbhiJit> manuel_, #libreoffice
[03:59] <ilovefairuz> kk9822: use web applications  that don't use active x
[03:59] <manuel_> ok thanks
[04:00] <kk9822> i understand that like i am doing share trading so when i tryto connect to anglebroking.com
[04:00] <kk9822> it says activex is blocked hence the application wont work what do i do
[04:00] <blakkheim> kk9822: active x does not work on linux, you can't use it
[04:00] <kachingo> Integrity_: the card in question is integrated into the motherboard. I have tried two network cables. The lights on the ethernet switch and the mobo do not register the cable being connected. Is it possible for this to be caused by the OS?
[04:01] <ilovefairuz> kk9822: you can try using IE on WINE,  it may run your activex stuff but no guarantees
[04:01] <ilovefairuz> kk9822: http://www.tatanka.com.br/
[04:01] <kk9822> these are online platformbased software so it is imp that popups are allowed in firefox
[04:02] <ilovefairuz> kk9822: are you even reading what we write? stop repeating the same questions
[04:03] <kk9822> yes i m sorry
[04:07] <phpninja> how can I designate which users can connect via VNC?
[04:08] <FalseLobster> Well that's disappointing
[04:08] <Megabyte> Does anyone here use bitcomet?
[04:08] <Megabyte> What is this "offline download" it refers to?
[04:08] <FalseLobster> My live usb doesn't even boot anymore
[04:10] <freezway> hey i need someone runing 10.04 to tell me what gcc -v gives them
[04:10] <Integrity_> kachingo: the card might not be recognized , so yes
[04:11] <icek_> i installed dhcpd server, it works fine on eth1 and my eth0 server has internet access just fine, but when i connect another comptuer to the dhcp server, it cant get internet!!! i turned on ipv4 forwarding :?
[04:11] <brantar> hey! if anyone has any experience with electronics/rfid, i would appreciate some help with a project.
[04:11] <gartral> how does one restore the wine-apps menu to 10.10's launcher
[04:11] <gartral> ??/
[04:11] <freezway> brantar, for hardware stuff try ##hardware
[04:11] <Integrity_> brantar: backtrack channel or fourms
[04:12] <aetaric> icek_: you might need to forward the packets via iptables. not sure how though
[04:12] <brantar> freezway:  Integrity_:  THank you both
[04:12] <blakkheim> freezway: gcc version 4.4.3 (Ubuntu 4.4.3-4ubuntu5)
[04:12] <ilovefairuz> !ics | icek_
[04:12] <Integrity_> brantar: anytime
[04:12] <freezway> blakkheim, thx
[04:12] <mrafcho011> Anyone here know their around setting up KDevelop? I seem to be missing all of the Project Types/Templates
[04:12] <icek_> so whats the point of a dhcp server if its not to server internet?
[04:12] <icek_> *share internet
[04:13] <aetaric> icek_: to assign addresses to clients.
[04:13] <Integrity_> icek_ : study networking then ask about DHCP
[04:13] <ilovefairuz> icek_: DHCP is for automatic network configuration, not necessarily connection sharing
[04:13] <Integrity_> lol
[04:13] <aetaric> DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
[04:14] <aetaric> all it does is configure the host
[04:14] <Integrity_> icek_ leases
[04:14] <shane2-lap> ok, trying to upgrade with the alt-disk, failed first attempt, removing skype, how do I restart it without popping out the disk and re-inserting it?
[04:15] <Rikku> the DHCP server distributes internet protocol addresses to clients within a network in order to communicate with others over the network or internet
[04:15] <pepone> ilovefairuz FYI seems that in ubuntu 9.10 the only place you can set LD_LIBRARY_PATH is in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf configuration files
[04:15] <histo> shane2-lap: navigate to the mount location and ./cdromupgrade
[04:15] <shane2-lap> thanks histo
[04:16] <gartral> how does one restore the wine-apps menu to 10.10's launcher?
[04:16] <shane2-lap> histo, I guess I should have figured that out! :)  I always overlook the simple things.
[04:17] <pepone> can any body sayme what is the contents of /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc.conf i accidentaly modify that file
[04:19] <fcn> I remember something like software sources under administration menu. Did it go away with 10.10?
[04:19] <ilovefairuz> pepone: extract it from http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/e/eglibc/libc-bin_2.10.1-0ubuntu17_i386.deb
[04:20] <gartral> how does one restore the wine-apps menu to 10.10's launcher??
[04:20] <fcn> And the only thing  I don't like about ubuntu font, the little dots in password inputboxes. Is there a way to change this to make it look like older bigger dots?
[04:21] <Integrity_> I was thinking that oR ??
[04:21] <ilovefairuz> pepone: or just: sudo apt-get install --reinstall libc-bin
[04:22] <veridiux> hey guys i need a bit of help, I just installed ubuntu 10.10 and my download speed seems to be capped at around 210kB\s but in windows i'm still getting 550-600

[04:29] <ilovefairuz> rfay: 'ps aux' will show you all process or use gnome-system-monitor
[04:29] <shane2-lap> tamir, I'm not sure but it sounds like you are going to have to download the disk image, and burn it to a CD and boot off that, and install overtop of what you have, if you don't format, it should fix the problem.
[04:29] <rfay> ilovefairuz, yeah, I'm looking with top, but it's a bewildering number
 i login but it not start normal display

[04:31] <shane2-lap> tamir, I'm not sure, but the only thing I know to tell you is download the disk image, and install overtop of your installation.
[04:32] <ilovefairuz> rfay: use htop and select the option to hide threads

[05:18] <quiescens> fcn: i'm wondering why its grayed out, ordinarily it lets you click it and then if it fails it will say so instead
[05:18] <ilovefairuz> earthshade: then just tell what chipset is there and what driver is loaded, also check if there's anything blocked in: rfkill list
[05:18] <Guest25477> yapsol, thanks that is a neat little command
[05:18] <earthshade> Ok one sex
[05:18] <yapsol> When you type this at a terminal, echo /dev/[hs]d[abcd][0-9] all your partitions will be listed. One of them will be the swap

[05:21] <earthshade> ilovefairuz: Wlan no such device
[05:21] <Guest25477> yapsol, thank you for your help
[05:21] <quiescens> fcn: could you do "apt-cache policy compiz"

[05:22] <xangua> Sayo: unetbootin

[05:22] <yapsol> sudo fsck /dev/partition
[05:22] <rww> King_Troopa: As far as I know, there's no CPU that can step in speed to 100 different increments. Unless there's something going on I'm not familiar with, I'd guess most of those don't do much.
[05:22] <earthshade> Is that L shw or i shw ilovefairuz ?
[05:22] <dontput> earthshade, Your WiFI connection is built-in ready during installation you dont need to do anything. just plug it during fresh install.

[05:56] <ectospasm> c0_bd6: the repositories are different for each of those versions
[05:56] <EeePC_woes> spinningcompass : I haven't tried any other distros, this is my 'toes wet' linux experience. It's the 1005HAB
[05:56] <duolos> ilovefairuz, I'm trying to use...  if [ $1 = "something" ];
[05:56] <ectospasm> c0_bd6: they all use something built on apt, which is built on dpkg
[05:56] <ilovefairuz> duolos: make sure it's properly spaced: if [  "$var"  = "something" ]
[05:56] <spinningcompass> duolos: # if [ "black" = "white" ] ; then echo "You must be a philosopher." ; fi
[05:56] <duolos> ilovefairuz, I need quotes around $1?
[05:57] <dontput> ilovefairuz, wow i cant reverse it.. the shortcut tells: ALT+XF86Sleep
[05:57] <dontput> ilovefairuz, but it functions to sleep
[05:57] <spinningcompass> EeePC_woes: At the risk of sounding evasive, I would encourage you to try other distros, including older ones. It's possible that this is a bug in udev, or in the kernel, or in the distro itself.
[05:57] <jackie89> Does anybody know why my built-in touchpad mouse keeps freezing to a stop and then freezes my display?  I can't even manage to install my updates like histo suggested... I'd really appreciate any suggestions or input people could grant me!  Thanks for reading this, anyhow.
[05:57] <Roasted> how do I get java installed? I thought it was part of restricted extras, yet I cannot install limewire because its lacking java.
[05:58] <duolos> ilovefairuz, tried it and I guess I do :)  Thank you and spinningcompass
[05:58] <dominicdinada> EeePC_woes: not to mention and EEE PC and linux is not for the beginner as it takes some work to get it going
[05:58] <dontput> ilovefairuz, i think this is the problem. I cant revert it.... thats why it keeps telling failed to suspend
[05:59] <Anom01y> anyone here know how to use bitpim ?
[05:59] <ilovefairuz> duolos: yes
[05:59] <Anom01y> !bitpim
[05:59] <Anom01y> for writing info to cell phones
[05:59] <EeePC_woes> spinningcompass : I'm open to that, I don't have much data on here so I'm OK with doing a clean wipe. However, I want to know if this issue will persist no matter the distro i get on my liveUSB
[05:59] <ilovefairuz> dontput: you can blank the shortcut key by pressing backspace
[05:59] <dominicdinada> i am having trouble remotely admin mysql and i am wondering what the problem is. Where the setting are set to allow remote mysqladmin
[05:59] <earthshade> ilovefairuz: I tried to follow those instructions on that site you gave me but I cant since im not connected to the Internet
[06:00] <nishanth> i got a prblm with the echo command, can some help me
[06:00] <spinningcompass> EeePC_woes: http://forum.eeeuser.com/ <--- this is a wonderful site
[06:00] <EeePC_woes> dominicdinada: I know, I'm beginning to think i bit off way more than I can chew with it
[06:00] <dontput> ilovefairuz, yes thats what i did.. to Disable it.
[06:00] <spinningcompass> EeePC_woes: I've frequented the place for a couple of years. It's *wonderful*. They're extremely helpful & very friendly with problems just like yours.
[06:00] <ilovefairuz> earthshade: you need to download the file separately and move it to ubuntu with a usb stick or something
[06:00] <duolos> ilovefairuz, I guess my next question... how do I tell the script to execute a command without the terminal then showing all the output from that command?  For example, if I use the script to start Gedit, I want to be able to go on executing more commands, but not have all the debugging info from Gedit be shown.
[06:00] <EeePC_woes> dominicdinada: So what would you suggest for a relative n00b that's had it with windows?
[06:00] <ilovefairuz> earthshade: no wired connections?
[06:00] <earthshade> ilovefairuz: Oh fun
[06:00] <jackie89> Does anybody know why my built-in touchpad mouse keeps slowing to a stop and then freezes my display every ten minutes or so?  I can't even manage to install my updates like histo suggested, so I'd really appreciate any suggestions or input people could grant me!  Thanks for reading this, anyhow.
[06:00] <earthshade> ilovefairuz: No
[06:00] <dominicdinada> EeePC_woes: If i were you maybe find a person in your area willing to set you up with a dual boot
[06:00] <EeePC_woes> spinningcompass : THanks, I'll take my questions there for now
[06:01] <earthshade> ilovefairuz: Is there any way to access the ubuntu desktop from xp
[06:01] <kermit> how do i see which installed packages are taking the most space?
[06:01] <Khedron> EeePC_woes: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Netbooks have you checked here
[06:01] <ilovefairuz> earthshade: you can redirect stderr to /dev/null: gedit 2> /dev/null
[06:01] <earthshade> What?
[06:01] <ilovefairuz> duolos: ^
[06:02] <earthshade> What?
[06:02] <ilovefairuz> earthshade: wrong person, sorry
[06:02] <duolos> ilovefairuz, and after that, I can simply go on to the next command?
[06:02] <earthshade> Oh
[06:02] <EeePC_woes> khedron : I did check that before I bought my netbook. And It was running perfectly fine for the first few weeks i had it
[06:02] <earthshade> ilovefairuz: Is there a way to see the ubuntu desktop folder from xp?
[06:02] <ilovefairuz> duolos: to have the command executed in the background, add &
[06:03] <Khedron> EeePC_woes: possibly a new bug, try the 10.04 release?
[06:03] <EeePC_woes> dominicdinada : I think that might be a good idea. I've already put up a post asking for help on this issue, if that doesn't help I might ask if someone who lives nearby will help
[06:03] <duolos> ilovefairuz, I'm sorry, this is my first bash script... so I'd do:  &gedit 2> /dev/null  ?
[06:03] <ilovefairuz> earthshade: hmm dont think there are ext4 drivers for windows so no
[06:03] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  It seems like you really know your stuff like the other helpful people here!  i can't offer you anything in exchange, but would you be willing to maybe help me out?  If i could transfer edible cookies via IRC, i totally would. ;~;
[06:03] <ilovefairuz> duolos: & is at the very end
[06:03] <earthshade> Ok
[06:03] <spinningcompass> jackie89: You're very kind. How may I help?
[06:03] <dominicdinada> or go into a pc shop and offer them 50$ to get you dual booted
[06:03] <duolos> ilovefairuz, gedit 2> /dev/null &?
[06:04] <ilovefairuz> duolos: yes
[06:04] <EeePC_woes> khedron : I was running NBR 10.04 when this happened. It was running fine, until I ran out of juice while an update was installing
[06:04] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  Wow!  Thank you so much!  Okay, here's my question
[06:04] <jackie89> Do you know why my built-in touchpad mouse keeps slowing to a stop and then freezes my display every ten minutes or so?  I can't even manage to install my updates like histo suggested, so I'd really appreciate any suggestions or input people could grant me!  Thanks for reading this, anyhow.
[06:04] <duolos> ilovefairuz, thank you.
[06:05] <Khedron> EeePC_woes: do you still have it installed and can you get to a terminal?
[06:05] <dominicdinada> EeePC_woes:  ummmmm with any PC windows, mac, linux u should always make sure ur fully charged or plugged in, this is totally your fauly
[06:05] <livingdaylight> just upgraded to 10.10 and panel seems broken. Where is the clock gone?
[06:05] <dominicdinada> fault*
[06:05] <spinningcompass> jackie89: Does it happen in conjunction with internet access, especially wlan (wifi)?
[06:05] <EeePC_woes> dominicdinada : I agree I just got complacent with the phenomenal battery life on this thing
[06:06] <dojohnso> hey all, i'm back. bcbc2 was right. copying over the c:\wubildr file did the trick and i can boot up with 10.10 with no issue :)
[06:06] <dojohnso> thanks for all your support!
[06:06] <dominicdinada> EeePC_woes: worst come to worst start over, problem solved
[06:06] <bcbc2> dojohnso: cool
[06:06] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  Yes!  I just got my wireless connection going on Saturday night with the help of psychotic oreo and lucent, and now it's acting up like never before... I might've done something wrong with their support and instructions.  i feel terrible for messing this up.
[06:06] <Khedron> EeePC_woes: if you can get to a terminal on it, try sudo aptitude reinstall udev
[06:06] <EeePC_woes> khedron : Nope, It just flashes a line of text on the screen when I power up: "udevadm trigger is not allowed while udev is unconfigured"
[06:06] <spinningcompass> jackie89: Bug # 603982 (I'm not making this up) :)
[06:06] <spinningcompass> jackie89: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/603982 <--- does this match your experience?
[06:07] <EeePC_woes> khedron : does the initranfs shell have those commands
[06:07] <mbrochh> Hello all
[06:07] <mbrochh> I just installed IE7 with playonlinux
[06:07] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  I might have to force restart my computer if it freezes, would you still be here?
[06:07] <spinningcompass> jackie89: Yes. I have no life.
[06:07] <mbrochh> it seems to work, but I cant see any GUY
[06:07] <mbrochh> it looks like a popup window opening the wine website
[06:07] <Khedron> EeePC_woes: no
[06:07] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  Great!  Same here with the broken foot, though knitting is my consolation prize.
[06:07] <mbrochh> how can i navigate to other websites?
[06:08] <jackie89> ... Not that you needed to know that.
[06:08] <jackie89> brb
[06:08] <spinningcompass> ok
[06:08] <EeePC_woes> dominicdinada : I don't mind starting over, I have all my data backed up. But how? I can't boot into a liveUSB to do a wipe and install
[06:09] <EeePC_woes> khedron ; So what are my other options?
[06:09] <spinningcompass> EeePC_woes: I urge you to try 10.04, then 10.10 later; 10.10 was a problem for me. It forced me to reinstall the grub boot loader, for instance.
[06:09] <EeePC_woes> spinningcompass : You mean to try the 10.04 on a liveUSB instead of 10.10?
[06:09] <Khedron> EeePC_woes: good question, what model was your netbook?
[06:09] <spinningcompass> EeePC_woes: Yes. It's possible that the issue is distro-specific.
[06:09] <EeePC_woes> 1005HAB
[06:09] <Khedron> ok brb
[06:10] <EeePC_woes> khedron : 1005HAB
[06:10] <tianpuxian> help
[06:10] <Reverend_Ruff> !ask | tianpuxian
[06:11] <Khedron> EeePC_woes: well other ppla re having the problem too, lemme read the thread see if there's a fix
[06:11] <EeePC_woes> spinningcompass : but i've tried with the 10.04 liveUSB too, and I know that distro doesn't have any problems, since it was working fine
[06:11] <spinningcompass> EeePC_woes: What I hear you saying is, you've used 10.04 w/o problems, but 10.10 is giving you problems. Have I heard you correctly?
[06:12] <Khedron> EeePC_woes: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1238771
[06:12] <Khedron> try post 3
[06:12] <Khedron> spinningcompass: might be right, may be a grub messup
[06:13] <spinningcompass> EeePC_woes: At the risk of insulting your intelligence, I would encourage you to stick with 10.04 until 10.10's bugs have been ironed out. Why jeopardize your system's stability? Stick with 10.04. :)
[06:13] <EeePC_woes> khedron : someone on reddit linked me to this thread http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1567147
[06:13] <rusivi> spinningcompass: Agreed.
[06:13] <Reverend_Ruff> I concur with spinningcompass
[06:14] <EeePC_woes> spinningcompass : I was using 10.04 without problems, until now. I've tried booting into a liveUSB with both 10.04 and 10.10
[06:14] <EeePC_woes> spinningcompass : I don't mind doing a clean wipe, but I'm not sure how
[06:14] <Reverend_Ruff> 10.04 is giving you issues via liveusb?
[06:14] <spinningcompass> EeePC_woes: Interesting. What I'm hearing is that 10.04's LiveUSB *now* misbehaves whereas before it was working fine.
[06:14] <Khedron> EeePC_woes: it seems the init is not being updated on a kernel update, as both threads are saying the same thing really
[06:15] <Khedron> that wouldn't explain why the live cd does it though
[06:15] <Khedron> unless it's some weird kernel bug
[06:15] <EeePC_woes> spinningcompass : not just the liveUSB, the install on the EeePC itself is acting up. I was trying to use the liveUSB to do clean wipe and install on the Eee, but the same error persists
[06:16] <earthshade> ilovefairuz: Sudo: ndiswrapper: command not found
[06:16] <spinningcompass> EeePC_woes: Interesting. In that case, I would urge you to try another Linux distro - say, Red Hat or SuSE or even Debian - to see if you get the same problem.
[06:16] <EeePC_woes> khedron : Yes, That seems to be the consensus in the threads
[06:16] <Khedron> rpm distro's eww :P
[06:17] <flintwestwood> does anyone here have a pogoplugdevice? and if so, are you still running the default OS on it?
[06:17] <Roasted> anybody good with sharing printers? I have one shared from 1 ubuntu system on the LAN but its not showing up on the other system. It's shared, published, etc...
[06:17] <uLinux> does somebody know how to use wpa-psk in Wicd Network Manager?
[06:17] <EeePC_woes> spinningcompass : Yes, I think for now that's the best option. unfortunately, my other computer is a mac (insert n00b jokes here) and i'm not sure how to go about creating a liveUSB for one of those distros on a mac. Any helpful links?
[06:17] <Roasted> nevermind
[06:18] <spinningcompass> EeePC_woes: I'm *on* a Mac right now. :) I won't make jokes at your expense. :) Yes, there are plenty of USB-based (or USB-friendly) distros. brb, I'll find a few
[06:18] <uLinux> !wicd
[06:18] <Khedron> EeePC_woes: hmm, does unetbootin work on mac? *looks*
[06:18] <EeePC_woes> khedron : doesn't look like it
[06:18] <spinningcompass> EeePC_woes: DSL, Puppy, Mandriva Flash, ...
[06:18] <Khedron> no
[06:18] <Khedron> lol
[06:19] <Khedron> ok I know nothing about macs other than it's unix based, so dd will at least work
[06:19] <EeePC_woes> spinningcompass : Any recommendations? which of those am I most likely to find support / documentation for ?
[06:20] <EeePC_woes> khedron : Yes, dd works, I used it when making the 10.10 liveUSB (following instructions from the ubuntu support site)
[06:20] <Khedron> EeePC_woes: most distros have an image you can dd to a usb stick
[06:20] <spinningcompass> EeePC_woes: I'm sorry, I don't know the answer to that question. Do you have an external CD drive?
[06:21] <spinningcompass> EeePC_woes: See Khedron's comment. (I concur w/ him/her.)
[06:21] <EeePC_woes> spinningcompass : Nope, but I'm getting the feeling that would be awise investment
[06:21] <spinningcompass> EeePC_woes: Amen! For all we know, the problem is with your USB port. ;)
[06:22] <Khedron> spinningcompass: him ;) but the nick is a bit ambiguous lol
[06:22] <EeePC_woes> khedron : so I should just follow the same instructions as posted here: http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/get-ubuntu/download ?
[06:22] <spinningcompass> Khedron: English loves her sexist pronouns. :) It gives lawyers extra work...
[06:23] <Khedron> EeePC_woes: mostly yes, but every distro has different ways, but if you can find an image you can dd it
[06:23] <maco> spinningcompass: i just use "hir"
[06:23] <EeePC_woes> spinningcompass : hopefully not, I've tried all three
[06:23] <spinningcompass> maco: How's that working out for you?
[06:24] <maco> spinningcompass: havent had much problem with it. textual people can read it as a typo of whichever they prefer (him or her) and folks who know about gender neutral pronouns get a smile out of it
[06:24] <EeePC_woes> khedron : OK, here goes nothing, i'm going to try dd on a different distro
[06:24] <maco> spinningcompass: plus it doesnt assume everyone fits the gender binary
[06:24] <Khedron> EeePC_woes: I suggest debian if you're fine with a command line
[06:25] <EeePC_woes> khedron : I'm fine in as much as I can follow clear instructions
[06:25] <spinningcompass> maco: I'm from the generation before gender became a non-binary issue. Fortunately for me, I don't have to worry about such things. I'll merely die in 40-50 years and let my grandchildren figure it out.
[06:25] <Khedron> EeePC_woes: well debian should be fine then, you can install a desktop out of the box (gnome) but you will have to add your own software after, but it's apt based
[06:26]  * spinningcompass buys a parrot to sit on Khedron's shoulder & squawk, "I concur!" at opportune moments
[06:26] <Khedron> lol
[06:26] <EeePC_woes> khedron : OK, debian it is
[06:27] <EeePC_woes> khedron : Any particular version you recommend?
[06:27] <Khedron> EeePC_woes: go for unstable, trust me, it's more stable than ubuntu lol
[06:27] <Khedron> its called squeeze
[06:27] <blakkheim> squeeze is testing
[06:27] <blakkheim> not unstable
[06:27] <SoulShadow> squeeze is the next debian
[06:27] <Khedron> blakkheim: yeah that's what I meant :| not sid
[06:28] <jackie89> Hello again!
[06:29] <spinningcompass> word up, home skillet.
[06:29] <EeePC_woes> khedron : So I just grab the iso image off this link? http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/
[06:29] <Khedron> no that's stable, etch
[06:29] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  Okay, yup, that's almost exactly the same type of problem I'm having.
[06:29] <Khedron> sec
[06:30] <rww> Khedron: current stable version of Debian is lenny ;P
[06:30] <spinningcompass> jackie89: In the short term, install a nifty little mobile mouse - you know, the kind that has a retractible USB cable.
[06:30] <Khedron> rww: blah
[06:30] <floppydrive> I've run in to problems when trying to run software not downloaded from the ubuntu repository
[06:30] <rww> lenny is stable, squeeze is testing-but-probably-stable-soon, sid is unstable. This Debian user recommends squeeze, though officially one's supposed to recommend stable always ;)
[06:30] <spinningcompass> jackie89: If I were you, I would also request that the bug be reopened.
[06:31] <Khedron> I blame the fact it's half 6 :|
[06:31] <Khedron> EeePC_woes: http://h0bbel.p0ggel.org/installing-debian-from-a-usb-stick
[06:31] <unnikalathil> is there any difference in sound quality between windows and Ubuntu ?
[06:31] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  I'm afraid i don't have one of those... Can i skip the short term and see if i can remove the bug?  I have no idea what to do with online ones...
[06:31] <spinningcompass> jackie89: If you boot with an older kernel, does the problem still occur?
[06:31] <spinningcompass> jackie89: I'm hoping you have some older kernels installed, which you can use via the GRUB boot loader.
[06:31] <blakkheim> unnikalathil: yes
[06:31] <unnikalathil> which is better?
[06:31] <floppydrive> apparently, Ubuntu policy states that a certain bit should be set to mark a program executable, and I foresee that this bit will possibly NEVER be set in windows programs, rendering it impossible to run them even under Wine. What to do?
[06:31] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  You lost me at 'kernel', what is that?
[06:32] <Khedron> rww: was meant to go stable a while ago, but i'm not exactly surprised it didn't lol
[06:32] <Krishnandu> unnikalathil, I found Ubuntu better
[06:32] <spinningcompass> jackie89: Oh nuts. Um, when your computer first starts to boot, it'll give you a funky-looking screen w/ 'GRUB' at the top. Yes?
[06:32] <Oxwivi> unnikalathil: I noticed that increasing the volume over two bars at Ubuntu distorts the sound, but this could be an isolated case.
[06:32] <EeePC_woes> khedron : Thanks, I guess I'll go give this a shot now, though something tells me I'll be back here soon
[06:32] <spinningcompass> jackie89: Or does it go straight to a pretty "booting" screen with a spinning dial or perhaps four little horizontal dots that change color as time pases
[06:32] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  Oh yeah!  I learned how to pull that up Saturday!  Do you want me to access it?
[06:33] <Khedron> EeePC_woes: lol
[06:33] <spinningcompass> jackie89: Are you running Ubuntu 10.10?
[06:33] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  It goes straight to the spinning dial...   Should i do that cat command again?
[06:34] <Oxwivi> I use 10.10, I want to know how to change the Samba options like -F, -D, etc.
[06:34] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  Yes.  When i got my wireless up and running, it happened the day after.
[06:34] <Demael> Hello all
[06:34] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  Which was today.
[06:34] <spinningcompass> jackie89: ok... so, until recently you were connecting to the Internet via Ethernet, yes?
[06:35] <spinningcompass> jackie89: ...and recently, you got your wifi up & running, and *that* was when the trackpad started going nuts. Yes?
[06:35] <EeePC_woes> khedron ; So I'm going to get that debian.iso, convert it to .img using hdiutil in mac's terminal and then follow the same dd instructions as I did to mke the ubuntu liveUSB, right?
[06:35] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  Is ethernet the cord?  If that's it, yes.
[06:35] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  Yes.
[06:36] <EeePC_woes> khedron : So I'm going to get that debian.iso, convert it to .img using hdiutil in mac's terminal and then follow the same dd instructions as I did to mke the ubuntu liveUSB, right?
[06:36] <Khedron> EeePC_woes: yup
[06:36] <spinningcompass> jackie89: It's a known issue, according to the bug database, but it *should* have been fixed in 9.04 or even earlier.
[06:36] <Oxwivi> Can anyone help me with Samba? I want to know how to change it's options or mores, and ensure it runs at start up.
[06:36] <Oxwivi> *modes
[06:36] <spinningcompass> jackie89: Have you run the 'update' program recently?
[06:37] <Khedron> EeePC_woes: there is a debian page on it too
[06:37] <Khedron> EeePC_woes: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianLive/Howto/USB
[06:37] <spinningcompass> Oxwivi: Sure, I'll do my best. i installed samba on ubuntu yesterday. I'm not an expert but I'll do what i can. What's up?
[06:37] <Khedron> it's more linux specific though
[06:37] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  When i tried to install updates using the manager, my screen froze... Then i rebooted and tried again, same results.
[06:37] <spinningcompass> jackie89: eeep. That's bad. (Sorry, you probably figured that out already) :)
[06:38] <tacotron> is there something wrong with firefox? i JUST installed 10.10 x64, and im tyring to change my personas on firefox but they wont change, it attemps to change the skin but it doesnt, it just stays one color
[06:38] <UnderOath> heller
[06:38] <spinningcompass> jackie89: Try this. I can't remember the key combo but I think it is Ctrl-Alt-F1. That will get you to a command line --- no GUI, just a command line. If you get nervous, press Alt-(left cursor) a couple of times to get back to the GUI.
[06:39] <EeePC_woes> khedron : Thanks, but unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any mac specific information on there. I think I should get a dual boot with windows going on my mac to start with, it'll probably make dealing with the Eee a bit easier
[06:39] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  Okay... What's GUI?
[06:39] <Khedron> spinningcompass: ctrl alt and f7
[06:39] <spinningcompass> jackie89: GUI = Graphical User Interface. It's a fancy way of saying, "the screen that you look at every day, which has icons and windows and pointers and stuff."
[06:40] <Khedron> EeePC_woes: maybe, or install linux on it ;)
[06:40] <jackie89> Ohhh, i see
[06:40] <spinningcompass> jackie89: GUI as opposed to command line. Command line basically means, "stuff where you type & get feedback;" it's all text-based, rather than based on graphics.
[06:40] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  Thank you!  i got it... Just a black screen, and it asked for my login and password.
[06:40] <jackie89> What's next?
[06:40] <spinningcompass> jackie89: Yes, and if you get nervous, press Alt-<left arrow> a few times to get back here.
[06:40] <jackie89> Okay... Thank you so much again. :]  i really appreciate all your effort
[06:41] <spinningcompass> jackie89: ... After logging in, type 'sudo apt-get update' and then 'sudo apt-get upgrade'. The first time, it'll ask you or your password again. Enter it. Then say 'OK' a few times. Follow the on-screen prompts.
[06:41] <Khedron> spinningcompass: is that gnome specific? i've always used f7
[06:41] <EeePC_woes> khedron : believe me, I'm all for Linux. But I'll have to wait until i've gained a little more competence and don't have to come running to an irc everytime my computer doesn't feel like booting up
[06:41] <spinningcompass> Khedron: It's all the same really. It was F1 thru F6 for a while , but different distros have different numbers of CLIs running at once.
[06:41] <Khedron> spinningcompass: f7 is the xorg one
[06:42]  * SoulShadow whimpers
[06:42] <SoulShadow> broadcom STA drivers fail!
[06:42] <spinningcompass> Khedron: I'm trying to avoid xorg :) in case it's part of the problem.
[06:42] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  It said "E:  dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure - a" to correct the problem"
[06:42] <Khedron> spinningcompass: no, I meant the key combo, I always used f7 on various WM's, never used gnome lol
[06:42] <EeePC_woes> khedron : OK, I'm off for now thanks for all the help
[06:42] <spinningcompass> jackie89 OK. Type that command ---> sudo dpkg --configure -a
[06:42] <Khedron> EeePC_woes: np
[06:42] <spinningcompass> Khedron: Ah. :)
[06:43] <EeePC_woes> spinningcompass : I'm off, thanks for the help
[06:43] <spinningcompass> EeePC_woes: good luck
[06:43] <EeePC_woes> Thanks everyone - you guys rock
[06:43] <jackie89> EeePC_woes:  I'm glad you got some help!  Byes!
[06:43] <EeePC_woes> jackie89 : I'm off, I hope your problem gets solved
[06:43] <jackie89> Oh dear.
[06:43] <EeePC_woes> jackie89 : See ya

[06:44] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  Will do, it'll be a minute though.
[06:45] <nits> i recorded a video to make a tutorial using recordMyDesktop from the Ubuntu repos. It outputs a file in ogv format, tried converting to avi using ffmpeg -i input.ogv output.avi the quality is so bad that i can't see anything. Suggestions?
[06:46] <blakkheim> nits: up the framerate and use more switches in ffmpeg
[06:47]  * floppydrive found a solution to his problem... should really have googled before coming here ;)
[06:47] <spinningcompass> floppydrive: Google is like the Oracle at Delphi but with more porn
[06:47] <Oxwivi> How can I use different mode/option/switches for Samba? How can I ensure it runs at start up?
[06:48] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  http://pastebin.com/e24PVFh0
[06:48] <UnderOath> Google never has pron
[06:48] <nits> blakkheim: can u gimme a command pls
[06:48] <spinningcompass> ah, ok
[06:48] <Khedron> Oxwivi: it should already run at startup if you have the server installed
[06:48] <ejv> nits: that issue is kind of outside the realm of support that is offered here, have you tried #ffmpeg ?
[06:48] <spinningcompass> jackie89: OK, now, this isn't a trick question, but... do you ever use VirtualBox?
[06:48] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  I don't think so.
[06:48] <UnderOath> I look up "ass" in google inmages and see nothing but the back of ppls pants
[06:48] <floppydrive> spinningcompass: very true
[06:49] <Khedron> UnderOath: put &safe=off in your url
[06:49] <Khedron> ;P
[06:49] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  What's virtualbox?
[06:49] <Oxwivi> Kheldron: I installed the system-config-samba as well, and for some reason, I can't share my printer without running it first.
[06:49] <nits> ejv: oh ok....
[06:49] <Ubuntu-LinuX> hello guys....can i ask something here? especially to those linux experts...
[06:49] <ejv> !offtopic | UnderOath
[06:49] <Oxwivi> *running it
[06:49] <ejv> !ask | Ubuntu-LinuX
[06:49] <Khedron> Oxwivi: I don't have a printer, but that might be related to cups?
[06:49] <Khedron> no idea really
[06:50] <spinningcompass> jackie89: It's something you don't really need, but that is causing you problems. It's a tool for enabling you to run an OS inside your OS.
[06:50] <floppydrive> Ubuntu-LinuX: pop the question! :)
[06:50] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  Ohhh, okay... How do i get rid of it, then>
[06:50] <jackie89> ?*
[06:50] <spinningcompass> jackie89: Try... --> sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
[06:50] <Oxwivi> Khedron: We can think about printers later, do you know how to change options?
[06:50] <spinningcompass> jackie89: If that fails, I'll tell you how to remove virtualbox, but i would prefer to fix it. :)
[06:50] <Khedron> Oxwivi: what options do you want to change
[06:51] <Oxwivi> Khedron: Samba's options. It's -F by default, I want it -D.
[06:51] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  "command not found"
[06:51] <Oxwivi> Khedron: I meant the opposite.
[06:51] <spinningcompass> jackie89: how about.... sudo apt-get remove virtualbox*
[06:51] <Oxwivi> Khedron: Default is -D, I want it -F.
[06:52] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  With the asteric?
[06:52] <spinningcompass> jackie89: Yes
[06:52] <Khedron> Oxwivi: ok which version are you on, as samba changed recently
[06:52] <jackie89> Or whatever the star is?
[06:52] <Oxwivi> Khedron: 10.10, to run Samba, the command is smbd. I found the options with man smbd.
[06:52] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  "E:  Couldn't find package virtualbox*
[06:52] <jackie89> "
[06:53] <Khedron> Oxwivi: yes, they removed the init script, it uses service now
[06:53] <Khedron> Oxwivi: kill any samba you currently have running
[06:54] <Oxwivi> Khedron: killall?
[06:54] <Khedron> sure
[06:54] <UnderOath> kill all humans
[06:54] <Oxwivi> :D
[06:54] <Khedron> lol
[06:54] <jackie89> Is that seriously a command in linux?  o.O;
[06:55] <FyreFoX> hi, using rdesktop to a windows7 machine the cursor is very laggy, but to a xp machine it works fine.  maverick 64bit
[06:55] <Khedron> jackie89: killall? or all humans lol
[06:55] <Oxwivi> Khedron: Operation not permitted, use sudo?
[06:55] <Khedron> Oxwivi: yes
[06:55] <jackie89> The second...
[06:55] <FyreFoX> is this normal or expected
[06:55] <jackie89> That was probably a very stupid question. :/

[06:55] <spinningcompass> jackie89: Try 'sudo apt-get -f install'
[06:55] <Khedron> Oxwivi: so you've been starting samba manually?
[06:55] <Oxwivi> Khedron: No output, I guess it was succesfull.
[06:56] <ilovefairuz> !ops | UnderOath
[06:56] <Oxwivi> Khedron: Yes, through the Terminal.
[06:56] <floppydrive> jackie89: killall is a command to terminate processes. "killall humans" would be possible if you had a program running called "humans" :)

[06:56] <Khedron> Oxwivi: right I have an idea what it might be thenn, as recently samba in ubuntu went from being an init script to an upstart one
[06:56] <jackie89> Lol, floppydrive.

[06:56] <elky> UnderOath, do you plan on behaving any time soon?
[06:57] <Oxwivi> Khedron: Oops, no I didn't start it manually, but I can't get the printer on network without running the GUI.
[06:57] <rww> UnderOath: Please consider reading the link from ubottu before you dig a deeper hole for yourself :\
[06:57] <Oxwivi> Khedron: The Ubuntu system shows up on Windows, but when I run GUI the printer appears.
[06:57] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  "Setting up update-manager (1:0.87.30netbook0belmont2)...
[06:57] <jackie89> Done!  :D
[06:57] <Khedron> Oxwivi: you've lost me, what GUI? your desktop?
[06:57] <spinningcompass> jackie89: Ok, now  'sudo apt-get update'
[06:58] <UnderOath> The Jeff Dunham show doent come on often does it?
[06:58] <Oxwivi> Khedron: GUI of system-config-samba, and to make matters worse I'm gonna be sharing the printer with Windows XP, Vista AND 7!

[06:58] <spinningcompass> Agent001: Yes. Buy a bigger whip.
[06:58] <spinningcompass> jackie89: Next, 'sudo apt-get upgrade'
[06:58] <UnderOath> did u just kick me?
[06:59] <bazhang> UnderOath, keep it civil and on topic
[06:59] <UnderOath> UR A MEANIE
[06:59] <Madpilot> UnderOath, have you read the Guidelines URL the bot supplied you with? Go do so.
[06:59] <UnderOath> .;

[06:59]  * spinningcompass hugs UnderOath in a manly, very platonic way. "There, there. Come read this book about preemptive multitasking in the Linux kernel."
[07:00] <spinningcompass> jackie89: Yes, you do. :)
[07:00] <jackie89> "*
[07:00] <jackie89> :D
[07:00] <spinningcompass> jackie89: It's nice to be asked, though, isn't it? Computers so often assume they know what we want. It's good to feel involved , even if we're not in control. It's a bit like marriage.
[07:00] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  i wouldn't know about that, haha... Though sometimes i feel like a housewife. O.o;  At least i love to cook.
[07:01] <nits> exit
[07:01] <spinningcompass> jackie89: After you've typed 'sudo apt-get upgrade', the computer will ask if you want to upgrade all sorts of things.
[07:01] <floppydrive> Agent001: it's definitely possible. I recommend looking for that topic in the forums, as well as googling it. There's quite a few optimizations that can be done.
[07:01] <spinningcompass> jackie89: If you've backed up your data, say yes. If you haven't, I urge you back it up...and then say yes.
[07:01] <Agent001> Thanks, I'm already on my search
[07:02] <floppydrive> Agent001: if you're willing to trade the gnome good looks for speed you should check out Lubuntu
[07:02] <spinningcompass> jackie89: Or, if you're feeling 'dangerous', there's the option of upgrading your entire distro to the latest (10.10). I wouldn't recommend it, but you can if you want to. It's a last resort if the "upgrading within 8.04" idea fails.
[07:02] <jackie89> So i type 'sudo apt-get upgrade' agaon, spinningcompass?  It hasn't asked me to upgrade anything... And oh no, i'm not feeling dangerous. ;~;
[07:02] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  Linux scares me.
[07:03] <spinningcompass> jackie89: I know the feeling. The more I learn about it, the more it scares me.
[07:03] <jackie89> again*
[07:03] <spinningcompass> jackie89: What I hear you saying is that you've run 'apt-get update' and 'apt-get upgrade' but you've not been asked to upgrade anything. Have I heard you correctly?
[07:03] <suigeneris> Audio LAVC, couldn't find encoder for codec libmp3lame. <--- what package do I need for this?
[07:04] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  i thought i ran an upgrade... Should i run it again just to make sure?
[07:04] <spinningcompass> jackie89: Well, there's "update", which downloads the list of all the upgrades available, and there's "upgrade", which installs them.
[07:04] <_ramo> hi
[07:04] <spinningcompass> jackie89: Have you run "update" *and* "upgrade"?
[07:04] <spinningcompass> suigeneris: ffmpeg probably
[07:05] <spinningcompass> suigeneris: Any relation to ejusdem generis?
[07:05] <_ramo> is there any audio player suggested for ubuntu 10.04 where i can liste to online radios?
[07:05] <suigeneris> ejusdem?
[07:05] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  i ran it again, here's the line i got.  "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded"
[07:05] <spinningcompass> suigeneris: http://legalperspectives.blogspot.com/2010/03/ejusdem-generis-doctrine-understood.html
[07:06] <spinningcompass> jackie89: OK. It sounds as if there are no recent upgrades available for 8.04, which doesn't surprise me.
[07:06] <spinningcompass> jackie89: To fix this problem, you might have to upgrade your distro. :-/ I'm sorry. I hope I'm wrong.
[07:06] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  i don't want more bugs... i just want to access my wireless again without the hassle of freezing. :[
[07:06] <suigeneris> spinningcompass no, suigeneris means "one of its kind" in Latin
[07:06] <spinningcompass> suigeneris: I know what it means. :)
[07:07] <suigeneris> spinningcompass I got ffmpeg and it's the same
[07:07] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  But you did say 'might', is there a way i can do this without upgrading?
[07:08] <spinningcompass> suigeneris: sudo apt-get install libmp3lame-dev libfaad-dev libx264-dev libfaac-dev
[07:08] <spinningcompass> suigeneris: ...and look up 'ejusdem generis' ;)
[07:08] <bazhang> libmp3lame0 suigeneris this one?
[07:08] <spinningcompass> jackie89: It sounds like a bug in the kernel. You could upgrade individual packages, such as the kernel, to see if that would fix the problem.
[07:09] <bazhang> spinningcompass, lets get back on topic please
[07:09] <suigeneris> bazhang I have that
[07:09] <bazhang> suigeneris, what are you trying to do, please clarify
[07:09] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  How do i do that?
[07:09] <suigeneris> bazhang encode using mencoder,
[07:09] <jackie89> 'sudo apt-get update kernal'?
[07:09] <spinningcompass> bazhang: Thank you.
[07:10] <spinningcompass> jackie89: I'll try to find you a more recent source for 8.04-friendly kernel packages. brb
[07:10] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  Thank you so much!
[07:10] <spinningcompass> jackie89: Glad to help (or try at least).
[07:11] <spinningcompass> jackie89: OK. 8.04 = Hardy Heron. There's a backports page for kernels. *If* the kernel is the problem, then adding this package repository & upgrading your kernel might fix the problem.
[07:11] <Diverdude> What ever became of the "google wave project" ? Was that just a big flop or what?
[07:11] <bazhang> !ot | Diverdude
[07:12] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  YAY!  Okay... Hardy Heron!  That's a cute name. :D  How do i update it?
[07:13] <spinningcompass> jackie89: sudo echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-backports main universe multiverse restricted" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:13] <spinningcompass> jackie89: and then, run 'sudo apt-get update', followed by 'sudo apt-get upgrade'. The idea is to find backports (packages containing more recent updates), then install them.
[07:14] <spinningcompass> jackie89: This isn't ideal, because the backports aren't officially supported by Canonical (the company behind Ubuntu). Still, it's less trouble than upgrading to the latest Ubuntu distro (which would come with its own set of problems anyway).
[07:14] <dongs> hi.
[07:14] <spinningcompass> ho.
[07:14] <dongs> [ 2843.380000] dvb_core: disagrees about version of symbol struct_module
[07:14] <dongs> what is this.
[07:14] <spinningcompass> dongs: Are you using MythTV?
[07:14] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  "-bash:  /etc/apt/sources.list:  Permission denied.
[07:14] <jackie89> "
[07:15] <dongs> no.
[07:15] <dongs> i want to know what causes this and how to fix it.
[07:15] <spinningcompass> jackie89: Ah. Try 'sudo bash' first. Then echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-backports main universe multiverse restricted" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:15] <napster> How can I start x applications of a remote machine using ssh?
[07:15] <spinningcompass> dongs: Are you using a tv tuner?
[07:15] <dongs> i will be, once the module loads.
[07:16] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  "sudo:  unable to resolve host jaclyn"
[07:16] <spinningcompass> jackie89: wow, ok.. um... su -l root
[07:16] <suigeneris> napster forward x port, then ssh with -X switch
[07:16] <spinningcompass> dongs: OK. You're having trouble getting the tv tuner to work. Right?
[07:17] <suigeneris> bazhang I em trying to encode using mencoder
[07:17] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  It gave me a whole ton of options... Should i type them all out on pastebin?
[07:17] <dongs> spinningcompass: no, im having trouble with that exact error message. I want to know what causes it and how to fix.
[07:17] <napster> suigeneris: That will display the app on my local machine right?
[07:17] <bazhang> suigeneris, a video? I use handbrake for that
[07:17] <spinningcompass> dongs: Define 'having trouble'.
[07:17] <greezmunkey> napster: check out the -X option of the ssh command, there's a bit to it, but it is doable
[07:17] <dongs> spinningcompass: the module does not load.
[07:17] <spinningcompass> dongs: OK, you're being a jerk & therefore I'm not interested in helping you. Bye.
[07:17] <spinningcompass> jackie89: No, it's OK. You can use 'su -l root' instead.
[07:18] <Flynsarmy> oh my god people. i've got a story for you. my google language changed itself to chr somehow. english didn't appear in the options on that language for some reason. i frist had to change my language to 'Elmer Fudd' in the search settings before it'd let me change back to english
[07:18] <suigeneris> bazhang I could never figure out correct character set for that while subtitle embedding
[07:18] <greezmunkey> napster: additionally, for search purposes, it is called X11 Forwarding
[07:18] <dongs> spinningcompass: ? i answered you EXACTLY what my problem is. inserting the module gives that error in dmesg. now if you dont KNOW how to solve this, you can say that.
[07:18] <napster> greenmang0: suigeneris OK, thank you
[07:19] <greenmang0> napster: ?
[07:19] <suigeneris> he meant greezmunkey
[07:19] <suigeneris> he's a tab-o victim
[07:19] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  Ohhhh, that's an 'L', i thought it was a '1'!  i'm sorry. :[  Okay... it didn't do anything.  Just put me back in the next command line.
[07:19] <napster> greenmang0: sorry :-)
[07:20] <greezmunkey> suigeneris: heh, I see you bet me to the punch with that response, I am no typist :)
[07:20] <spinningcompass> jackie89: OK. That's good. Now, type .... ....  echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-backports main universe multiverse restricted" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:20] <greenmang0> napster: np :)
[07:20] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  With the sudo?
[07:20] <spinningcompass> jackie89: without
[07:20] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  sir yes, sir!  :D  Thanks.
[07:21] <ravibn> I am getting an error with "sudo setcap cap_net_admin=ei /usr/bin/qemu-system-*" while trying to install KVM
[07:22] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  ... Should i have not included the '....'s>
[07:22] <jackie89> ?*
[07:22] <spinningcompass> jackie89: no, please exclude the dots. I'm sorry. i should have put something like -------> :)
[07:22] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  i'm sorry, lol, okay, lemme retype it. :D  i need to ask these things prior.
[07:23] <spinningcompass> jackie89: FYI, you're adding a package repository to your list of package repositories. A repository (in this context) is a place from which your Linux distribution downloads the latest upgrades. Ubuntu doesn't include backports (think "retrofitted") by default, but you're making it include them.
[07:24] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  Crumbmuffins you're smart about this stuff, it's intimidating. @.@
[07:24] <peepsalot> why is it when i ping google.com, it seems to pause for a very long interval between pings?  but if i try yahoo for example the interval is much shorter. (the latencies are roughly the same however)
[07:24] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  Okay!  It didn't do anything, it just got me back to the command line after.
[07:24] <peepsalot> does ubuntu throttle pings to some sites?
[07:24] <spinningcompass> jackie89: Good. Now, type ------> apt-get update
[07:25] <greezmunkey> Haven't been around much lately, hows 10.10 going overall? Pretty smooth, or lots of upgrade issues?
[07:25] <spinningcompass> jackie89: You've added the repository of backports. Now, you're telling your package manager, "Hey dude, I've added a new repository. Please examine its  contents."
[07:25] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  Then apt-get upgrade?
[07:25] <spinningcompass> jackie89: Yes. Exactly.
[07:25] <napster> greezmunkey: suigeneris Actually I don't mean X forwarding. I need the application displayed on the remote machine itself
[07:25] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  "E:  Some index files failed to doanload, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead."
[07:26] <spinningcompass> jackie89: *groan*
[07:26] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  i'm sorry... i really am.
[07:26] <spinningcompass> jackie89: No, I'm sorry. :) Everything I told you was correct *except* for the repository. I've clearly given you the wrong one. brb
[07:26] <fazzil> why kubuntu still appear when i log off, i remove it before?
[07:26] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  Thank you!  :D
[07:27] <greezmunkey> napster: so, you want like a remote desktop similar to VNC? where the local screen shows what you are doing from a remote location. Like for showing someone something?
[07:27] <napster> greezmunkey: Exactly
[07:27] <Ubuntu-LinuX> is anybody here can give the step by step on how to do dual booting. i have installed windows xp in my master hdd i want to install ubuntu in separate disk.
[07:28] <greezmunkey> napster: you can do that via ssh as well, check out vino.
[07:28] <napster> greezmunkey: Ok, let me see
[07:29] <Damascene> Hi, I've opened a port for rtorrent and I find there is root user using it
[07:29] <greezmunkey> napster: you will need a decent network connection for it to be of much use though :(
[07:29] <Damascene> http://fpaste.org/6356/
[07:30] <Damascene> port is 62535
[07:30] <napster> greezmunkey: But actually, I just wanted to start bittorrent client on my PC in my room from my laptop, before I go to sleep :-( Why there should be much network usage
[07:30] <napster> ?
[07:30] <spinningcompass> jackie89: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-backports main restricted universe multiverse <-- was this the line you added?
[07:31] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  i believe so.
[07:31] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  i can't scroll up. :[
[07:31] <spinningcompass> jackie89: I bet I missed some of that out. :-/ Please double-check. I *think * only suggested multiverse & missed the other words out.
[07:31] <greezmunkey> napster: you can do all of that with X11 forwarding, seriously.
[07:31] <jackie89> Oh!  i can scroll up!  One moment
[07:31] <spinningcompass> jackie89: Type 'cat /etc/apt/sources.list' and see what the last line says, please.
[07:31] <napster> greezmunkey: Can you get me a link please?
[07:31] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  Okay. :]
[07:32] <greezmunkey> napster: lemme look...
[07:32] <napster> greezmunkey: I was unable to find something useful on google...
[07:32] <napster> :(
[07:32] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  "deb http://archive.ubuntu hardy-backsports main universe multiverse restricted"
[07:33] <jackie89> omg... i typed in backsports.  i'm so sorry!
[07:33] <spinningcompass> jackie89: It's OK, it's easy to fix
[07:33] <suigeneris> napster use vnc then
[07:33] <spinningcompass> jackie89: Type 'pico /etc/apt/sources.list' and modify the line to read thus:-
[07:33] <spinningcompass> jackie89:  deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-backports main restricted universe multiverse
[07:33] <napster> suigeneris: hmm
[07:33] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  Thank you for your patience. :]  My step-dad would probably be screaming right now, haha.
[07:34] <spinningcompass> jackie89: I've been married three times. It's pretty hard to annoy me. :)
[07:34] <ilovefairuz> !ot
[07:34] <peepsalot> when i ping google there is a 5 second interval between pings(though the latency it returns is normal ~30ms), while i can ping other sites at 1s intervals. any ideas why this would happen
[07:34] <tman> hi um i got this comp off a friend its a compaq presario 58W130. it has times where it will randomly restart? any thoughts.
[07:34] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  "su: pico:  command not found."
[07:35] <booi> peepsalot, reverse dns slow/notworking
[07:35] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  Oh, wow!  i haven't been married yet, but i'm only 21... So i've got time. :D
[07:35] <greezmunkey> napster: that's just it, there's a bunch of howto's there. The best thing you can do is to start going through them until you find something that works for you. You probably want to use Transmission (program) it's a command line version that you can easily control remotely.
[07:35] <spinningcompass> jackie89: OK, try 'nano /etc/apt/souces.list'
[07:35] <booi> peepsalot, ping -n google.com
[07:35] <rredd4> i don't see a hash for ubuntu-10.04-dvd-i386.iso, at this web site: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes    what is the md5?
[07:35] <napster> greezmunkey: I'm already using transmission
[07:35] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  sources or souces?
[07:36] <spinningcompass> jackie89: sources ( wait, what? lol )
[07:36] <Damascene> my problem similar to this https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nethogs/+question/113880
[07:36] <booi> rredd4, does vanilla ubuntu have a dvd iso? thought it was cd only
[07:36] <Khedron> pico?
[07:36] <spinningcompass> oh wait... I typed souces
[07:36] <Khedron> never heard that word in a while
[07:36] <peepsalot> booi, hmm, ping -n works well.  what is the difference?  is there something wrong with my connection or is that normal?
[07:36] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  LOL... i wanted to make sure. :D
[07:36] <fazzil> how to install my ubuntu?
[07:36] <greezmunkey> napster: so your lappy...is it windows or buntu?
[07:36] <booi> peepsalot, it's "normal" as in something isn't working but reverse dns isn't that important.
[07:36] <fazzil> uninstall i mean
[07:36] <napster> greenmang0: buntu
[07:37] <rredd4> booi  ubuntu-10.04-dvd-i386.iso  <--   it says   dvd
[07:37] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  "su: nano: command not found"
[07:37] <rredd4> booi need md5 for tht
[07:37] <greenmang0> napster: now what ?
[07:37] <rredd4> that
[07:37] <nargies555> ANYWAY to do VNC to ubuntu (even on latest ubuntu) if compiz fusion effects are turned on?
[07:37] <greezmunkey> napster: can you ssh into your desktop already?
[07:37] <napster> greezmunkey: yes
[07:37] <peepsalot> booi, does your reverse dns work on google?
[07:38] <booi> peepsalot, yes but google has many ips.
[07:38] <greezmunkey> napster: heck, you're halfway there :) Are you familiar with screen?
[07:38] <spinningcompass> jackie89: OK. ----> apt-get install nano
[07:38] <booi> peepsalot, depends if the transit provider they go through has set it up correctly
[07:38] <napster> greenmang0: Actually I press TAB after typing 'gree'... thats why.... sorry...
[07:38] <napster> greezmunkey: screen? no!
[07:38] <rredd4> booi what is vanilla?
[07:38] <peepsalot> booi, if i change my nameserver would that possibly fix it?
[07:38] <greenmang0> napster: hmmm
[07:38] <booi> peepsalot, maybe.
[07:39] <booi> rredd4, like, not edubuntu or kubuntu
[07:39] <booi> or server or alternate
[07:39] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  And now do the 'nano /etc/apt/sources.list' command?
[07:39] <peepsalot> so i guess this doesn't really affect most other internet communication though?
[07:39] <rredd4> booi  it is just regular live dvd
[07:40] <greezmunkey> napster: that's step one. Download and install screen on your desktop and play with it. It allows you to remote in and resume a running session on your desktop, thereby allowing you to connect, check or modify a program, disconnect, then connect again later, and so on...
[07:40] <peepsalot> i'm not sure what reverse dns would be used for
[07:40] <spinningcompass> jackie89: Yes, and amend the last line; make it read --->  deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-backports main restricted universe multiverse
[07:40] <napster> greezmunkey: Oh! Thats cool
[07:40] <Kethal> screen = awesome
[07:40] <napster> greezmunkey: I'll work on it, thank you...
[07:41] <willvarfar> http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/9079/updateboost.png why does my Update Manager show Boost upgrade but not let me check them?
[07:41] <greezmunkey> napster: You won't even need x11 forwarding to do that, you are practically set!
[07:42] <napster> greezmunkey: hmm
[07:42] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  Okie dokes!  Done!
[07:42] <jackie89> Now what?  :]
[07:43] <crawler> hi.  does anyone know how to remove the email icon from the indicator applet in 10.10?
[07:43] <spinningcompass> jackie89: run 'apt-get update' again, please
[07:43] <jackie89> But should i exit out, or read out?
[07:43] <spinningcompass> oh ! oops
[07:43] <rredd4> booi  this is what i downloaded:  ubuntu-10.04-dvd-i386.iso          29-Apr-2010 16:35  4.1G  Install/live DVD for PC (Intel x86) computers (standard download)
[07:43] <spinningcompass> jackie89: Yes. Ctrl-X
[07:44] <greezmunkey> crawler: did you try right clicking it?
[07:44] <meiye> hi
[07:44] <rredd4> can't find a md5 for it
[07:44] <napster> crawler:  http://superuser.com/questions/73200/remove-or-add-entry-in-indicator-applet-ubuntu-gnome Is this useful?
[07:44] <willvarfar> crawler, you mean the "Set up Mail" and "Set up broadcast account" crap?  I wonder too; right-clicking on them ... starts them!
[07:44] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  It's asking me a file name to write, and already put down "/etc/apt/sources.list"
[07:44] <peepsalot> booi, is reverse dns used for much beyond pings?
[07:44] <CrypTom> Hi all, I've installed en_US as default locale and I would like to add de_CH. But dpkg-reconfigure locales does not offer me the list to select all available locales as it used to do earlier (I use maverick now).
[07:44] <spinningcompass> jackie89: Press <Enter>, please
[07:44] <crawler> napster: thanks, i'll have a look.
[07:45] <greezmunkey> hmm, I right click...er 10.04, sorry! My bad.
[07:45] <crawler> willvarfar: yea, i find it to be pointless when i have a giant mail icon sitting in the dock
[07:45] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  Please, please don't hate me... I didn't think i made a spelling error, i checked it three times... I'm getting the same 'E' message as the last time.
[07:46] <daurnimator> my comp is almost frozen in the middle of a dist upgrade
[07:46] <willvarfar> crawler, yeah I've been trying to work out how to get rid of them too; there's even liferea there now
[07:46] <daurnimator> ==> its run out of hard drive space
[07:46] <daurnimator> how/what can I free up to get it going again?
[07:47] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  Do you want me to type out the whole error process message with the 'W:' messages?
[07:47] <spinningcompass> jackie89: Yes please.
[07:47] <rredd4> what is the md5 checksum for  ubuntu-10.04-dvd-i386.iso?  i don't see it on the hash web page
[07:47] <crawler> willvarfar: yes, it seems the only way to get rid of that mail icon is to remove the indicator applet..but then you get no volume control.  come one canonical WTF
[07:47] <spinningcompass> jackie89: As you were. Please copy & paste the last line of /etc/apt/sources.list to pastebin or similar.
[07:47] <jackie89> spinningcompass:  Will do!  Again, thanks for selflessly helping me through this.  It's awesome!  i just wish you wouldn't have to get a headache over it. @.@
[07:48] <Ryen> !md5 > rredd4
[07:48] <willvarfar> crawler, I use pidgin, I want the applet but not the stuff I don't use
[07:48] <crawler> willvarfar: exactly
[07:48] <spinningcompass> jackie89: You're not giving me a headache. :) It's all good. Please go ahead & copy/paste the last line of sources.list
[07:48] <napster> rredd4: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes Did you checked here?
[07:48] <willvarfar> and further I've already suffered the crashing whatever-it-was-that-they-wanted-to-replace-pidgin-with back in 10.04 iirc
[07:48] <nargies555> ANYWAY to do VNC to ubuntu (even on latest ubuntu) if compiz fusion effects are turned on?
[07:48] <rredd4> napster its not there, i checked
[07:48] <greezmunkey> rredd4: md5sum page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes
[07:49] <daurnimator> anyone know of some caches or something i can clean out?
[07:49] <rredd4> greezmunkey  not there
[07:50] <greezmunkey> rredd4: the only one I see there that claims to be a dvd is edubuntu...
[07:50] <rredd4> greezmunkey  look here, it is there  http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/10.04/release/
[07:50] <crawler> there's got to be an easier way, besides all the bs from that link that napster put up
[07:51] <rredd4> greezmunkey  ubuntu-10.04-dvd-i386.iso
[07:51] <crawler> seems like outdated info anyway, but i'll try it
[07:51] <rredd4> Ryen  ty, but i know how to check md5 on my mac

[07:52] <greezmunkey> rredd4: I found it at the link you posted in the MD5SUMS file!!!
[07:52] <willvarfar> crawler, I uninstalled liferea-data and liferea in package manager; now I still have liferea on that menu, but clicking on it does ... nothing
[07:52] <crawler> willvarfar: unbelieveable..did you try loggin out&in?
[07:53]  * greezmunkey can hear the facepalm from here...

[08:00] <Khedron> ehsantux: is your card supported? not all ati are
[08:01] <ehsantux> my graphic card is: ati radeon mobility x600
[08:01] <crawler> ehsantux: one question, did you reboot after installing the drivers?
[08:02] <Khedron> ehsantux: ahh that is supported then
[08:02] <ehsantux> yes of course
[08:02] <Khedron> ehsantux: sorry, I don't know then
[08:03] <hopeless8009> ok quick question is there an easy way to share a internet connection form one computer wireless with a computer that cant pic up signal off the Acess point
[08:03] <ezra-s> why is telepathy the official messenger in Ubuntu? It is crap still
[08:04] <ehsantux> here it is the log file message when I run modprobe fglrx command: ehsan-desktop kernel: [ 2595.155659] [fglrx] Maximum main memory to use for locked dma buffers: 919 MBytes.
[08:04] <crawler> you mean empathy?
[08:04] <ezra-s> yes
[08:04] <ezra-s> sorry about that
[08:04] <ezra-s> keep confusing the names
[08:05] <sebsebseb> ezra-s: That only changed to the default quite recently from Pidgin.  Pidgin big :)
[08:05] <Damascene> I'm so embarrassed with brasero. I've been asked to copy a CD and it took 2hours
[08:05] <Damascene> what should I tell my boss?
[08:05] <ezra-s> sebsebseb, I think they made it official like two ubuntu releases ago
[08:05] <crawler> ezra-s: it's a long read, but here's a breakdown of why: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EmpathyVsPidginUsability
[08:06] <sebsebseb> ezra-s: yeah since 9.10 if I remember correctly, also Ubuntu isn't the only distro where Empathy became the default,  I think most  Desktop Linux distros are doing Empathy by default now,  but Pidgin is still better for many people :)
[08:06] <ezra-s> I retried empathy again, now they got the "away, busy, etc." colors right at last, but now you can't even manage groups
[08:06] <ezra-s> crawler, thx for the link, checking
[08:06] <sebsebseb> ezra-s: sudo apt-get install pidgin
[08:06] <ezra-s> pidgin is great
[08:07] <sebsebseb> ezra-s: Empathy can do more, than just im, but  most of us  don't need those features, just im, so Pidgin :)
[08:07] <ezra-s> sebsebseb, I already have it, just came to do a bit of harmless whining about empathy :)
[08:07] <meanieface> what about finch? :)
[08:07] <ezra-s> empathy can do more? I can't see that, checking the link first...
[08:08] <Damascene> pidgin is a waste of time and full of bugs and it deserved what it get
[08:08] <devunt> !irc
[08:09] <ezra-s> the link is very outdated
[08:09] <sebsebseb> Damascene: I disagree and its way better than Kopete for example
[08:09] <sebsebseb> devunt: Kopete is weird when I try that
[08:09] <ezra-s> Damascene, but empathy is still too young and lacks features, how come I can't even manage contact groups
[08:09] <devunt> sebsebseb: ?
[08:09] <sebsebseb> devunt: What?
[08:10] <crawler> Damascene: about your question, i think if you disable the image chacksum plugin in brasero, it might go faster
[08:10] <ezra-s> and for bugs, I use pidgin with sametime, msn and gmail with no problems at all
[08:10] <devunt> aa, sorry.
[08:10] <Damascene> I think it grew in few months more than pidgin do in a years
[08:10] <Damascene> * in years
[08:10] <ezra-s> Damascene, well, if it still lacks the basic features a messenger should have..
[08:11] <sebsebseb> devunt: oh I see so I messaged you by mistake instead of Damascene
[08:11] <Damascene> I think pidgin should not come back in 3 years at least
[08:11] <devunt> :P
[08:11] <sebsebseb> !ot | ezra-s  sebsebseb  Damascene
[08:12] <ezra-s> last time I checked the colors for away, busy etc did not even make sense in empathy
[08:12] <ezra-s> alright
[08:13] <ezra-s> my bad
[08:13] <sebsebseb> !ot | ezra-s
[08:13] <ezra-s> ;P
[08:13] <Icky> using a thinkpad with ati graphics. when i install the restricted drivers via the 'additional drivers' option, upon reboot i just get a blank screen. same thing happens in fedora. any ideas?
[08:13] <crawler> at least the topic is somewhat relevant...
[08:13] <Byro> hey quick question... is there an easy way to add pidgin to the chat drop-down so it will show up alongside empathy? Seems like I could do this in 10.04 by installing additional packages.
[08:13] <sebsebseb> crawler: no its a debate, which one is better
[08:13] <Byro> I'm on 10.10 32-bit
[08:13] <sebsebseb> crawler: why is this one maybe better than this one, for this person
[08:14] <crawler> i said "somewhat"
[08:14] <sebsebseb> crawler: Empathy sucks, because.... Pidgin is better, becuase....   Thats the kind of convo it is
[08:14] <crawler> ehem
[08:15] <ezra-s> has empathy its own irc channel?
[08:15] <johnathan> good morning ladies and gents
[08:15] <Byro> oh sorry.. answered my own question by setting up Pidgin... nevermind... (newbie)
[08:15] <sebsebseb> ezra-s: maybe on the Gnome  IRC network
[08:15] <ezra-s> sebsebseb, I based my whining is usage, you dummy ;P
[08:15] <ezra-s> it's not, just because it's better
[08:16] <ezra-s> which is the gnome irc network? do you know?
[08:16] <johnathan> Is there a program that one can use to get files back after deleting a ubuntu server edition installation?
[08:16] <sebsebseb> ezra-s: right, and when I whine in here about features I don't like in Ubuntu based on useage of the distro for years,  I am probably still being off topic really :D
[08:16] <ezra-s> hehehe, I said "my bad" I won't whine here about it any more ;)
[08:16] <sebsebseb> ezra-s: irc.gnome.org or something I think
[08:16] <ezra-s> thank you man, and sorry to bug ;)
[08:17] <sebsebseb> ezra-s: no its okish,  I am just not that intrested in the Empathy vs Pidgin stuff
[08:17] <ezra-s> I would like to use it empathy really but, at work I need something fully featured
[08:18] <sebsebseb> ezra-s: Pidgin is good, Epathy can be good,  and they don't both do the same stuff,  Empathy can do more
[08:18] <ezra-s> that's why I am puzzled it is the official thing
[08:18] <sebsebseb> ezra-s: Pidgin is just a instant messaging and IRC program, Empathy can do more than that,  theres even a remote connect feature with Empathy
[08:19] <crawler> napster: thanks bud, that link you posted a half-hour ago did the trick!
[08:19] <ezra-s> sebsebseb, ohh, like vino/vinagre?
[08:19] <crawler> took me that long to figure it out :S
[08:19] <bethebunny> Hey, so what's up with the new GDM? Was the ability to theme logins just removed?
[08:19] <sebsebseb> ezra-s: sure a bit like that, but maybe it uses its own thing instead of VNC
[08:19] <sebsebseb> ezra-s: loasd of remote connect programs these days, even addon/s for Skype
[08:19] <crawler> bethebunny: i was wondering the same thing, but forgot to ask :)
[08:19] <ezra-s> well, if they made up something better than VNC I will surely give it a try
[08:20] <sebsebseb> ezra-s: you might be interested in freenx

[08:20] <sebsebseb> !freenx > ezra-s
[08:20] <sebsebseb> crawler: no this isn't off topic, since he seems to be wondering how to do something with Ubuntu
[08:20] <napster> crawler: np
[08:21] <daurnimator> my comp is almost frozen in the middle of a dist upgrade ==> its run out of hard drive space. how/what can I free up to get it going again?
[08:21] <ezra-s> thanks, checking link
[08:22] <bethebunny> I seem to remember that gnome 2.8 'upgraded' GDM to fix a half-decade old security vulnerability, and that this 'upgrade' broke theming, but I find it hard to believe that it was shoved into the repos without thoughts of breaking backwards compatabilities.
[08:22] <sebsebseb> bethebunny: yep you can't theme the newer versiosn of GDM like the old
[08:23] <TeChHousE_> Hello everyone
[08:23] <sebsebseb> bethebunny: can change background and thats about it
[08:23] <sebsebseb> bethebunny: with the newer versions, however there are good alternative llog in screens as well,  KDM,   LXDM,  Slim, and maybe even XDM
[08:24] <sebsebseb> bethebunny: also unfortunatly unlike  well at least one distro I know about, can't easilly have the old version of GDM in Ubuntu
[08:24] <bethebunny> sebsebseb: I will probably need to look into those, although I assume my existing login themes will not work out of the box :P
[08:24] <sebsebseb> bethebunny: yep
[08:24] <sebsebseb> bethebunny: which version are you currently on?
[08:24] <meiye> hi
[08:24] <meiye> abc
[08:25] <sebsebseb> meiye: defg
[08:25] <bethebunny> sebsebseb: 10.04; waiting till I have a free weekend to upgrade :P
[08:25] <sebsebseb> bethebunny: if your on 10.04, then you got GDM 2?
[08:25] <TeChHousE_> wondering if someone will help me install Propellerhead Reason 5 (Music Production Software) on my HP Compaq 6730B Laptop which has the new Ubuntu 10.10-netbook-i386 installed on it
[08:26] <sebsebseb> bethebunny: its since 9.10, that Ubuntu has been using the newer GDM that can't be themed like the old one
[08:26] <bethebunny> sebsebseb: gdm version is 2.30.2 atm
[08:26] <chu_> Hey guys, a little nagging issue. This ubuntu software update tool stays around in my task bar, even after I have downloaded and installed the updates. Is this a known issue, or am I the only unlucky person?
[08:26] <AlphaPlayer2> Hi guys!
[08:26] <ejv> TeChHousE_: does Reason 5 have a linux build?
[08:26] <sebsebseb> bethebunny: just like its since 9.10, that ith as been using for well many of us, is the sucky version of Grub, yep Grub 2,  old one :)
[08:26] <TeChHousE_> no
[08:27] <bethebunny> sebsebseb: Yeah, I haven't really bothered checking on my laptop recently, so I just noticed it, but I had manually upgraded on my gentoo box earlier and it broke all my stuff x.x
[08:27] <sebsebseb> bethebunny: well then your not already using the old themes
[08:27] <ejv> TeChHousE_: hmmm... have you read reports of others getting it to work under Ubuntu?
[08:27] <TeChHousE_> i had it installed on the version of ubuntu before this version and it worked fine
[08:27] <TeChHousE_> yes
[08:27] <TeChHousE_> 1 person has
[08:27] <TeChHousE_> the problem i have
[08:28] <ejv> TeChHousE_: oh ok, well i've never had to install it, sorry heheh, i'll google for some dpkg packages see if i come across anything
[08:28] <bethebunny> sebsebseb: No, but it's a problem for the lab that I admin and have a custom gdm theme for, that we're just starting to upgrade
[08:28] <kenneth> hi
[08:28] <TeChHousE_> is that it installs but then asks for the disk
[08:28] <kenneth> how to disable auto connect?
[08:28] <kenneth> in the gnome xchat thingie
[08:28] <sebsebseb> bethebunny: well make a background that is similar to the theme,  or maybe even switch to a distro  where you can use the old GDM without a load of issues
[08:28] <TeChHousE_> i insert the disk into the drive and it doesnt move any further
[08:29] <sebsebseb> bethebunny: in fact if you figure ito ut, you can have the old GDM in Ubuntu, but it isn't as simple as just installing selecting it and using
[08:29] <willvarfar> crawler: don't remove liferea or evolution!  just got locked out of ubuntu, now in windows again
[08:29] <bethebunny> sebsebseb: Yeah, trying to convince the main admin to switch to gentoo, but he's scared :/
[08:29] <obsidieth> whats this about 10.10 pegging processors with older acpi instructions
[08:29] <sebsebseb> bethebunny: what kind of lab?
[08:29] <TeChHousE_> thanks ejv...  for looking on google for me
[08:30] <sebsebseb> bethebunny: however your on 10.04, so your not meant to have the old GDM
[08:30] <willvarfar> so, if you uninstall evolution and/or liferea - I did both, so I don't know if its one or the other - then when you restart gnome you have no desktop menu at all, and no internet or anything; just your background picture; couldn't work out how to undo the damage, my ubuntu is broken
[08:30] <chu_> Is there anyway to turn the ubuntu software update tool off?
[08:30] <sebsebseb> bethebunny: also if your already on 10.04, and with the old screen, why not stay on that version?  Its long term support
[08:30] <bethebunny> sebsebseb: A handful of random ubuntu boxes and a couple servers for the local ACM
[08:30] <bethebunny> sebsebseb: They're not at 10.04, actually >.>
[08:31] <sebsebseb> bethebunny: 10.10 offers little advantage over 10.04, except for Unity, which is for the netbook edition, but can run on a desktp as well, that was fun for me to try on desktop,  with Lubuntu and such :)
[08:31] <sebsebseb> bethebunny: which version of Ubuntu?
[08:31] <crawler> hmm. liferea didn't come installed by default in 10.10...sorry to hear that.  but this link solved the issue for me: http://superuser.com/questions/73200/remove-or-add-entry-in-indicator-applet-ubuntu-gnome
[08:31] <sebsebseb> bethebunny: 9.04?
[08:31] <crawler> willvarfar: see above
[08:31] <TeChHousE_> Can someone help me with installation problem
[08:32] <willwork4foo> hi all.... I am seeing a really odd issue on Ubuntu 10.10 (Desktop) - dhcp-assigned addressing is not working for my wired connection, but it is fine on my wifi
[08:32] <bethebunny> sebsebseb: Yup. XDM theming doesn't look too bad; I might have to try porting them, or just making a new one
[08:32] <willwork4foo> I can't see what the issue is, gnome's network manager has nothing configured
[08:32] <sebsebseb> bethebunny: ah ha so your thinking about this now since the great (except for a feature that really got at me by default)  9.04 release is about to go end of life?
[08:32] <crawler> willvarfar: only empathy and evolution were in the indicator applet.  but copying those files from /usr/share/blah-blah-blah worked fine.  just had to log out and back in
[08:33] <TeChHousE_> Can someone help me with installation problem
[08:33] <Ghostly> i'm trying to edit the windows 7 bootmgr in ubuntu but it doesn't recognise the file, any thing i need to install to be able to edit it?
[08:33] <sebsebseb> bethebunny: 8.04 the previous LTS is supported untill April next year on the desktop, and that has yep the old GDM
[08:33] <TeChHousE_> wondering if someone will help me install Propellerhead Reason 5 (Music Production Software) on my HP Compaq 6730B Laptop which has the new Ubuntu 10.10-netbook-i386 installed on it
[08:33] <sebsebseb> bethebunny: plus now  its on like 8.04.4 so should be quite stable
[08:34] <bethebunny> sebsebseb: Yeah, but the login theme is a lot less important than a number of other features; we *try* to keep on the cutting edge to inspire our members ;)
[08:34] <sebsebseb> bethebunny: such as?
[08:35] <richardcavell> Hey gang.  Up until now I have always virtualised ubuntu within my Mac.  However, I've decided to splash out and buy a second computer dedicated to ubuntu.  I'm thinking a really cheap desktop, custom built < $500 including monitor.  Intel Core 2 Duo or i3, 4 Gigs RAM, cheapest nvidia graphics card available.  Anything I should look out for in terms of hardware incompatibility?
[08:35] <sebsebseb> bethebunny: most other distros are more cutting edge than Ubuntu, I guess
[08:35] <Khedron> richardcavell: wifi and gfx
[08:35] <chu_> richardcavell: there's a post on UF about hardware compatability. I don't know if anyone has it memorized, but could be a good place to check
[08:35] <FridgeOfLOL> Hi, I'm considering upgrading to 10.10 from 10.4 but i'm worried it won't run as good/as stable as 10.4 is running on my old laptop
[08:36] <bethebunny> sebsebseb: Yeah, unfortunately that's becoming the case
[08:36] <Khedron> richardcavell: although most are generally supported these days
[08:36] <richardcavell> I'm thinking if I stick with Intel / Nvidia and common parts, I can't go wrong
[08:36] <bethebunny> sebsebseb: A few years ago Ubuntu was remarkable for its disregard for backwards compatability and bleeding edge repos, but more and more we're needing to try to hack in debian repositories to get the packages we need
[08:36] <sebsebseb> FridgeOfLOL: how old is the lap top?
[08:37] <FridgeOfLOL> about 5 years old but i recently upgraded the ram and hard drive
[08:37] <TeChHousE_> wondering if someone will help me install Propellerhead Reason 5 (Music Production Software) on my HP Compaq 6730B Laptop which has the new Ubuntu 10.10-netbook-i386 installed on it
[08:37] <overrider> id like to install a package f.e wordpress, but would like to change the path it gets installed to (a certain virtual hosts path). good idea? how to? Many thanks...
[08:37] <johnathan> Is there a program that one can use to get files back after deleting a ubuntu server edition installation?
[08:37] <Khedron> richardcavell: won't be many problems you can't sort on older/cheaper hardware
[08:37] <willvarfar> richardcavell: you describe my machine I'm running ubuntu on; only problem area I've had is cheap wifi sticks
[08:37] <Khedron> richardcavell: stick to say intel wifi cards etc, and you won't have any
[08:37] <richardcavell> I'm not going to run wifi on it.  It will be wired.
[08:38] <richardcavell> (to a router that uses wifi, admittedly, but the computer won't)
[08:38] <Khedron> richardcavell: doubt you'll have any problems then
[08:38] <bethebunny> sebsebseb: Anyway, thanks for the help. I really hope that eventually the theming comes back to GDM, because there's a huge wealth of existing and really cool themes online.
[08:38] <Khedron> richardcavell: some bleeding edge graphics cards can be tetchy, but in that kind of box I doubt you would be buying a graphics card the same price ;)
[08:38] <richardcavell> ok thanks.  Like I said I'm not going to give ubuntu an i7 and 10 Gigs of RAM and a Crysis 3-compatible gfx card.  I just want to do coding and GIMP
[08:39] <FridgeOfLOL> 1 GB + 512mb RAM, 300 GB HD, Ubuntu 10.4 is running very well
[08:39] <DJones> TeChHousE_: Just looking at that software, I can only see Windows & MacOS versions listed on their website, if its just those versions and not a native linux version, you may be able to get it working using wine.  If thats what you're looking to get installed, you would be better asking in the #winehq channel, they would be better able to help with installing the windows version
[08:39] <Khedron> richardcavell: can't see you having a problem then
[08:39] <FridgeOfLOL> But i'm worried 10.10 will be slow, buggy and stuff since it's so new
[08:39] <richardcavell> cool.  Well tomorrow I'm going to have a dedicated ubuntu machine.
[08:39] <chu_> Is there anyway to turn the ubuntu software update tool off?
[08:39] <TeChHousE_> i used winehq on the previous version of ubuntu
[08:39] <TeChHousE_> and it worked fine
[08:40] <chu_> FridgeOfLOL: Is there anything that is included with 10.10 you need? Basically, why do you want to upgrade if 10.04 works (and is LTS)?
[08:40] <TeChHousE_> the problem is that it is asking for the disk
[08:40] <TeChHousE_> i put the disk in and it doesnt do anything
[08:41] <TeChHousE_> it doesnt recognise the disk?
[08:41] <FridgeOfLOL> 10.4 has everything i need,
[08:41] <DJones> TeChHousE_: I think you're more likely to get a response in winehq then, I've not heard of the software before, hopefully they'll be able to better help you
[08:41] <FridgeOfLOL> i'll think i'll just stay with 10.4
[08:42] <chu_> FridgeOfLOL: I'd stay with 10.04 (I am). But I have had bad experiences with upgrading in the past, it could work, but you know the old saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" :)
[08:42] <chu_> Plus, I really don't know what 10.10 has done differently.
[08:42] <TeChHousE_> oh maybe i dont have the same version of winehq
[08:42] <TeChHousE_> let me check
[08:42] <TeChHousE_> ive been battling with this for 5 days now
[08:44] <sebsebseb> strange my distro frooze
[08:45] <sebsebseb> and bethebunny seems to have left, thats ashame
[08:45] <sebsebseb> ,but also FridgeOfLOL
[08:45] <sebsebseb> oh well
[08:46] <scherbe> heya. is there any 'secured graficmode' for ubuntu 10.10 ?
[08:47] <DASPRiD> the shell is very secure :)
[08:48] <scherbe> DASPRiD: I've the problem, that my screen in completely dark. I can't see anything..
[08:49] <DASPRiD> scherbe, is it just dark or completly black?
[08:49] <Rehnquist> hi guys!
[08:50] <thevishy> hi all
[08:50] <Rehnquist> i'm not THAT new to ubuntu, but something is really boggling me: i'm running 10.10 and i've installed Krusader. only problem: no matter what i do, i can't turn off the sounds in it, as they are the sounds from KDE. any ideas? driving me crazy... :\
[08:50] <scherbe> DASPRiD: I think just dark. when I try the live cd I can hear the startsound after a while. (asus eeepc 1005P)
[08:50] <thevishy> i installed a system via PXE boot . now the system is rebooted but it doesnt show any other network than loop local host
[08:51] <DASPRiD> well, hearing a sound is not seeing a picture :)
[08:52] <johnathan> Is there a program that one can use to get files back after deleting a ubuntu server edition installation?
[08:52] <thevishy> how do i enable ?
[08:52] <scherbe> DASPRiD: alright, so it's just very dark..not completly black ;)
[08:55] <scherbe> DASPRiD: you've an idea how to solve?
[08:57] <Damascene> scherbe, tty is working?
[08:57] <Damascene> Ctrl+Alt+F1
[08:59] <scherbe> Damascene:sorry, during bootmenue or when the live system is running?
[08:59] <Damascene> the place that you see the dark screen
[08:59] <scherbe> Damascene:both doesn't work..
[09:00] <Damascene> did you check the install media?
[09:00] <scherbe> jip
[09:01] <scherbe> md5 checksum is alright
[09:03] <brijithmac> guys, can any one suggest a good MP4 converter in Ubuntu.. ? Please ....
[09:03] <Damascene> scherbe, I'm sorry but I don't know what is the problem
[09:04] <scherbe> Damascene: thanks for your help and time:) I try to get an alternate cd and have another try with it
[09:05] <Damascene> scherbe
[09:05] <Damascene> sorry, by mistake
[09:06] <Tribaal> Hi all
[09:06] <mikebeecham> hi guys, I wonder if anyone can help.  I lost the sound on my profile last night after messing with the sound preferences, and now I cannot get my sound back.  Other accounts are fine though
[09:07] <Tribaal> I'm looking to configure the "new slapd", with dynamic configuration (via LDAP itself), does anybody have pointers regarding this? I can't find any satisfying docs out there...
[09:08] <vehsarc> is there text mode tool in ubuntu to manage startup/bootup services ?
[09:08] <_NinjA> Tribaal: what are you using for authentication ?
[09:09] <brijithmac> Hi all, Which is the best MP4 converter available in Ubuntu... ?
[09:09] <jungli> i wanrs to add my LAN  ip adress in my ubuntu 10.04
[09:09] <jungli> i wants to add my LAN  ip adress in my ubuntu 10.04
[09:10] <bratkartoffel> jungli, add or change it?
[09:10] <_NinjA> jungli just click on the top corner connection
[09:10] <Tribaal> _NinjA, SimpleAuthentication - I can bind with my LDAP well (on the user-define side of the schema), I just cnanot figure out how to actually configure the system (say, force SSL connections or configure ACL)
[09:11] <boghog> hello
[09:11] <boghog> I just upgraded to ubuntu 10.10, and every time I use a multimedia key on my keyboard (like volume up or down) my mouse button1 stops working (other buttons still work)
[09:11] <boghog> anyone know what's up with that?
[09:11] <boghog> i'm 100% sure it's not a hardware problem
[09:11] <boghog> welll, 99.9%
[09:11] <boghog> it happens on other machines as well and with completely different mice
[09:12] <boghog> all was fine with 10.04
[09:12] <_NinjA> Tribaal: I think for a pre configured ACL you will need a good authenticator script as far as force SSL between Domains I would say Another Uniux bSD server of some sort
[09:12] <Rehnquist> i'm running 10.10 and i've installed Krusader. only problem: no matter what i do, i can't turn off the sounds in it, as they are the sounds from KDE. any ideas?
[09:13] <_NinjA> Tribaal: great question
[09:13] <Tribaal> _NinjA, you misread my question I believe. I'm looking for a guide on how to configure Slapd using the new dynamic configuration system (that is, the slapd daemon is now configured via LDAP, I need to know how)
[09:14] <Tribaal> _NinjA, I could configure the "old" slapd.conf based slapd just fine :)
[09:15] <_NinjA> Tribaal: I did mis read , yea never used slapd but sounds like i need to read up on it
[09:15] <Tribaal> _NinjA, ah. Thanks for trying to help.
[09:15] <Desaints> where do i go for a issue with network transfer speeds, has nothing to do with ubuntu, its windows-laptop to router to windows desktop?
[09:15] <Desaints> what irc channel
[09:15] <Tribaal> So, does anybody have any experience configuring OpenLDAP in here?
[09:16] <Damascene> Desaints, ##windows? ##networking?
[09:16] <Desaints> ahh thanks
[09:17] <fep> like when i close the terminal, i close the program, i dont want that to happen
[09:17] <dibs> how can I get XDMCP working to a local machine on meerkat??
