[07:56] <airtonix> greezmunkey, Shapeshiftr, save this file [ http://pastebin.com/p72a1rLe ] as ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/Monitor-Open-Conncetions.sh
[07:56] <HermanDE_> SpiKe_, Don't know what the problem is....  Kind of hard to guess....
[07:56] <mediafool> hold have to check
[07:56] <Takyoji> Jordon_U: Yes, /dev/sda6
[07:56] <arunkumar413> HermanDE_: i may have to download 26 MB to install mono which takes about 2 or 3 horus
[07:57] <SpiKe_> uh ok
[07:57] <mediafool> Linux media edition x64 something like that, ubuntu debian based
[07:57] <HermanDE_> arunkumar413, Or you could have a friend burn a CD of the dependancies...  make a list and let apt be your guide.....
[07:57] <greezmunkey> airtonix: nice, thanks. I'll do that.
[07:57] <Shapeshiftr> I didn't install gnome, I'm running pure text
[07:57] <Jordan_U> Takyoji: Then follow this guide to re-install grub2 from a LiveCD: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide
[07:57] <Shapeshiftr> what does it do?
[07:57] <Takyoji> Jordan_U: Do I just have to boot a LiveCD, mount /dev/sda6, chroot to where it's mounted, and run grub-update, or?
[07:57] <airtonix> greezmunkey, similar to the command you suggested but the readout makes more sense
[07:58] <Takyoji> Jordan_U: Alright, thanks.
[07:58] <greezmunkey> airtonix: yeah, I see.
[07:58] <airtonix> Shapeshiftr, then just save it as a bash script in ~/bin
[07:58] <HermanDE_> SpiKe_, Do you have a problem?
[07:58] <arunkumar413> HermanDE_: my friend does not have linux
[07:58] <Jordan_U> Takyoji: You're welcome.
[07:58] <airtonix> Shapeshiftr, and mark it executable : chmod +x ~/bin/Monitor-Open-Conncetions.sh
[07:58] <HermanDE_> arunkumar413, His loss......
[07:59] <SpiKe_> yep.. my wifi doesnt work
[07:59] <gOLDfeesh> !dualboot
[07:59] <HermanDE_> arunkumar413, Find a different friend....:)
[07:59] <mediafool> ive been at google and looked already a couple of time couldnt find anyone touching on the subject really
[07:59] <Jordan_U> arunkumar413: You don't need mono to develop linux applications. You may want to learn python, in which case everything you need comes by default in Ubuntu.
[07:59] <SpiKe_> "i need some help with my wifi.. for some reason the switch on the laptop is set to ON, but nothing show's up in 'ifconfig' as wireless.. i only get local, and eth0.."
[07:59] <gOLDfeesh> I'm having a little bit of trouble installing Ubuntu on my laptop.. I can't create new partitions..
[07:59] <HermanDE_> mediafool, VST sounds very Windows....
[07:59] <airtonix> SpiKe_, checked jockey-gtk or jockey-txt yet ?
[07:59] <Nai-ux> how can i erase syslinux boot method off usb flashdrive it wont let me boot off it anymorea
[08:00] <HermanDE_> SpiKe_, Are you running ubuntu?
[08:00] <mediafool> yeah i think it is steinberg vst atleast not sure about vsti though but im no pro
[08:00] <SpiKe_> nope i havent checked and yes im running ubuntu on a laptop
[08:00] <airtonix> SpiKe_, then do that before you do anything else
[08:00] <Shapeshiftr> sick!
[08:00] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: I'm convinced it's the nvidia drivers
[08:00] <greezmunkey> airtonix: I'll have to play with the geometry, but pretty cool!
[08:00] <Shapeshiftr> my domain name works :3
[08:00] <HermanDE_> mediafool, Which MM distros have you tried...
[08:00] <airtonix> greezmunkey, i love the watch command
[08:00] <ff88> hi I've created a chroot using the BasicChroot tutorial. I'm having problems starting gnome because some system daemons are not started
[08:01] <SpiKe_> uh i dont know how to check em.. is it a command in terminal  airtonix ?
[08:01] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, Ok, ensure they are not loading....
[08:01] <ff88> how can I start these daemons like at startup?
[08:01] <drizzt_> 1) why was kde 3.5 removed from Ubuntu? and 2) why Ubuntu puts USA constitution on my system without my knowledge?
[08:01] <arunkumar413> Jordan_U: i'm also learning python. but want to try mono
[08:01] <Shapeshiftr> happy...
[08:01] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: Could you walk me through that?
[08:01] <airtonix> SpiKe_, yes or you can goto : System > Administration > Hardware Drivers
[08:01] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, Craft a small xorg.conf
[08:01] <bullgard> How can I determine the rotational speed of my T43's fan? /proc/acpi/fan is empty.
[08:01] <Jordan_U> Nai-ux: What happens when you try to boot?
[08:01] <mediafool> linux media center edition x64 and the apps in ubuntu and debian
[08:01] <Flannel> drizzt_: Kubuntu migrated to KDE4
[08:01] <greezmunkey> airtonix: first time I've actally seen it. I can think of lots of stuff to do with it. Apprieciate the tip
[08:01] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: create a file called xorg.conf?
[08:02] <greezmunkey> bullgard: can you hear it?
[08:02] <mediafool> been close but get dll error
[08:02] <bullgard> greezmunkey: Yes.
[08:02] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, Yes, xorg tried to make a good guess....
[08:02] <greezmunkey> bullgard: that means it's working
[08:02] <Jordan_U> drizzt_: U.S. constitution?
[08:02] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, Can you pastbin your x log first....
[08:02] <drizzt_> Flannel, so they could leave KDE3 in repos? i cannot find it
[08:02] <mediafool> vst only loads with a single dll
[08:02] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: sure.
[08:02] <mediafool> atleast the one i want
[08:02] <drizzt_> Jordan_U, in /usr/share/state
[08:02] <Shapeshiftr> what's Quota?
[08:02] <Flannel> drizzt_: No, KDE3 isn't supported on the newer versions of Ubuntu
[08:02] <HermanDE_> mediafool, dll....  eeewwwwww...  Dynamically Linked Compressed Binary Library....
[08:03] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: could you tell me where to find it again
[08:03] <mediafool> yes hihi
[08:03] <Jordan_U> drizzt_: I don't have that file on my Ubuntu install.
[08:03] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[08:03] <gOLDfeesh> Oh,.. I need to resize my bad.
[08:03] <bullgard> greezmunkey: I know that it is working. -- But I suspect that it is turning too fast. Another T42 of mine does produces almost no noise under similar circumstances.
[08:03] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, Do you have a boxee log?
[08:04] <mediafool> but i guess ill find out soon enough
[08:04] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: unsure.  I'll check
[08:04] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, I'll bet you do...  :)
[08:04] <bullgard> s/produces/produce/
[08:04] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, And it will show the error...
[08:04] <drizzt_> I had it in Ubuntu 10.04 default install
[08:04] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, Do you have compviz turned off?
[08:04] <prince_jammys> drizzt_: apparently it's part of the package 'miscfiles'
[08:05] <coz_> I havent attempted on this fresh install of lucid... however... is it now possible to install the official nvidia driver ?
[08:05] <mediafool> maybe can pick it a part in windows to fit in linux rather than trying to load directly in linux
[08:05] <SpiKe_> @airtonix .. wierd, is says there are no drivers for it installed.. wierd.. it used to work before perfectly gine
[08:05] <SpiKe_> fine *
[08:05] <Shapeshiftr> should I keep AppArmor? It sounds like it's more hurt than help...
[08:05] <mediafool> sorry if spam :)
[08:05] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: not sure.  I'm very green... if you hadn't noticed.
[08:05] <HermanDE_> mediafool, Check distrowatch.org for MM distributions.....
[08:06] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, We all are green....  Or will be within 100 years....
[08:06] <Shapeshiftr> greezmunkey, you still there?
[08:06] <mediafool> k ill go do that, thx for pointer
[08:06] <greezmunkey> Shapeshiftr: yes
[08:06] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, individually.... Not globally....
[08:06] <Shapeshiftr> should I keep AppArmor? It sounds like it's more hurt than help...
[08:06] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: let's hope so
[08:06] <Dr_Willis> Shapeshiftr:  cant say that ive ever seen an issue with it. and ive only seen  a few people in jhere ever have an issue with it.
[08:06] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, I hope some nice bugs eat me....
[08:07] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, Then poop me out...
[08:07] <bullgard> greezmunkey: cat /proc/acpi/ibm/fan outputs on T43 "3757" but on T42 "3034" (rpm).
[08:07] <mediafool> was there i found one before but ill take a closer look, thx and good bye
[08:07] <Takyoji> Jordan_U: Thank you again, worked as desired.
[08:07] <greezmunkey> Shapeshiftr: that's up to you. It doesn't bother me much on my desktop. I have a pppoe server at work though that I removed it from. It depends on what you are doing.
[08:07] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: xorg paste: http://pastebin.com/tFVeGTie
[08:07] <Jordan_U> Takyoji: You're welcome.
[08:07] <Shapeshiftr> will it interfere with MySql or a mail server such as postfix?
[08:08] <greezmunkey> bullgard: man, I'm afraid I'm no help there. I don't have a need to worry about fan speeds here.
[08:08] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, The last line says it all    "no screens found"....
[08:09] <Shapeshiftr> also, can you run multiple servers on a single domain?
[08:09] <greezmunkey> bullgard: I have run across a lot of info on the net though, but like I said...I didn't really pay too much attention, sorry.
[08:09] <bullgard> greezmunkey: Right.
[08:09] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: my thoughts as well... what now?
[08:09] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, do you have a file called /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[08:09] <Shapeshiftr> such as a mail server, a MySql server, an IRC server, a FTP server, etc. all on one name?
[08:09] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, rename it to xorg.conf.test-old
[08:09] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, Then try and start X....
[08:10] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, Let Xorg figure it out....
[08:10] <prince_jammys> Shapeshiftr: yes
[08:10] <drothli_w> Good morning, I am a bit confused as I have an empty fstab file, shouldn't there be some entries?
[08:10] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: 2 things: 1) how do I rename? can it be done within the GUI? 2) start "X" ?
[08:11] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, is the GUI running?
[08:11] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: yes
[08:13] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: got it renamed
[08:13] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: not sure how to "run X"
[08:13] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, That log that you posted doesn't have any screens....
[08:13] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, So, nothing should be running....  Hmmmmm.....
[08:13] <Dr_Willis> drothli_w:  im not even sure the system could boot properly with an emopty fstab. You sure its empty and you are just not doing some typos?
[08:14] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, You are running X if you have a GUI....
[08:14] <unop> drothli_w, yes, you should have entries in it. How did you determine that there aren't any?
[08:14] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: ok
[08:14] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, postbin the xorg.conf file
[08:14] <Pirate_Hunter> Dr_Willis, that is what I was thinking
[08:14] <vu1kan> does anybody know what 'bonobo-activation-server' does?
[08:14] <drothli_w> unop: cat /etc/fstab --> only a comment
[08:14] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, Might want to rename it back before something silly happens....
[08:15] <Dr_Willis> vu1kan:  not really.  seen bonobo mentione4d befor.. one of those services/things i never looked into
[08:15] <Jordan_U> Dr_Willis: You can boot without an fstab because the root filesystem is mounted (using the root= from /proc/cmdline ) before the fstab can be read in the first place.
[08:15] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/svyPaynG
[08:15] <vu1kan> i'm just trying to make my install as efficient as possible, and that seems to be eating some ram
[08:15] <Dr_Willis> Jordan_U:  i ment boot 'properly' as in getting a working 'normal desktop' type system. Theres so many support entries in the ubuntu fstab
[08:16] <Dr_Willis> BRB
[08:16] <vu1kan> suppose i'll make a thread in the forum for it
[08:16] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: I spent the majority of my night trying to switch the video ubuntu was using from the onboard (nvidia) to my dedicated graphics card (ATI)
[08:17] <unop> Jordan_U, but surely you'd think a missing fstab is a bit out of the ordinary?  plus the entry for a swap location would be wanting ...
[08:17] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, You do have a driver "nvidia" line...  with the nvidia glx.....
[08:17] <Jordan_U> unop: Of course.
[08:17] <unop> drothli_w, that's quite odd then. were you able to boot the computer up alright?
[08:18] <drothli_w> unop: what do you mean by alright? I am connected to that computer through ssh
[08:18] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, You seem to be using Maverick....   Ubuntu Software Center in my chroot is uninstalling my system packages
[08:18] <ff88> not in the chroot
[08:18] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: you tell me... ?
[08:19] <raegis> hello everybody. can anybody help me with 10.04? i`m trying to install 3g modem...
[08:19] <drothli_w> unop: no it is an embedded system which I want to use as fileserver
[08:19] <Jordan_U> !info misc-files | drizzt_
[08:19] <Jordan_U> !info miscfiles | drizzt_
[08:20] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, You are a clear Xorg version above what is considered stable for the current version of Debian....
[08:20] <drizzt_> ff88, it's impossible
[08:20] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, Do you have full resolution on your system?
[08:20] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: currently, yes
[08:20] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: my about screen reads: You are using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS                 - the Lucid Lynx - released in April 2010 and supported until April 2013.
[08:21] <ff88> drizzt_: oh it is. maybe I've mounted something wrong in the chroot
[08:21] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, And your Xorg is from the next version....
[08:21] <ff88> I mounted /var/run/dbus
[08:21] <halvor> hello!
[08:21] <unop> drothli_w, hmm, i'm a bit puzzled. what version of ubuntu does it run?
[08:21] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, ...  Ok... Can you navigate IRC without the GUI?
[08:22] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: wish I knew what that meant ;) should I upgrade it... ?
[08:22] <Polysics> hello
[08:22] <Polysics> anyone has pointers to running my own DNS?
[08:22] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, You probably selected unstable apps.....  Not a disaster...  Just can be difficult....
[08:22] <drothli_w> unop: 10.4
[08:22] <Polysics> goal is to have a domain on which i can create subdomains on my VPS
[08:22] <vu1kan> polysics>check out portforward.com they've got general info on that
[08:22] <HermanDE_> Polysics, How many?
[08:23] <Jordan_U> drothli_w: Were there any errors during install?
[08:23] <Polysics> HermanDE, as many as I need
[08:23] <Shapeshiftr> ok, it's working great so far.
[08:23] <Polysics> probably 10 or so
[08:23] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: i'm currently connected through a browser, though I'm not unfamiliar with IRC...  let me try to connect through the terminal first
[08:23] <Shapeshiftr> I think 3:20am is late enough to get some sleep.
[08:23] <Polysics> it is just a test server
[08:23] <Shapeshiftr> later.
[08:23] <Shapeshiftr> *later all.
[08:23] <HermanDE_> Polysics, Are we talking thousands of first level or thousands of second level?
[08:23] <oddalot> how do i open a new server in xchat?
[08:23] <drothli_w> Jordan_U: besides the one from grub none (you helped me there)
[08:23] <Polysics> HermanDE, we are talking one second level with a dozen third level :-)
[08:23] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, Probably a good thing...  Resetting X can get ugly....
[08:24] <drizzt_> why would people create ubuntu spinoffs? is it because ubuntu too bueracratic to include their changes as metapackages or something?
[08:24] <HermanDE_> Polysics, Easy...  Are you doing web serving? or full services on each second level domain?
[08:24] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: so X is just another name for the GUI?
[08:24] <HermanDE_> drizzt_, make things easy for specific situations....
[08:25] <oddalot> oh, this is already freenode server i see hehe
[08:25] <Flannel> drizzt_: It's remarkably simple to create a package and get it into universe.  People do it for many reasons I suspect.  But this isn't really ontopic for this channel.
[08:25] <Polysics> HermanDE, i will be running a smattering of non-standard services, such as Ruby servers
[08:25] <wi09146f> 7j #db-Steffan
[08:25] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, The Graphic Application that offers you a Graphic Window with mouse control is called XWindows....
[08:25] <unop> drizzt_, different people have different tastes and philosophies. Ubuntu is derived off of Debian, after all.
[08:25] <oshua86> hello guys, I have 2 24" monitors, and i am using cairo dock, i am trying to move the bar to one side of the monitor or the other, but it gets right in the middle between both monitors, how do i move it?
[08:25] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: thx
[08:25] <Polysics> HermanDE, i will basically be running an Apache VirtualHosts setup + a few other things
[08:25] <mheta> hi
[08:25] <raegis> ìîæåò èç ðîññèè åñòü êòî òóò?
[08:25] <Polysics> HermanDE, from what I see, I just need a catch-all setup
[08:25] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, Hence the name "Microsofts Dos Windows"...   Windows that runs ontop of Microsoft Dos.....
[08:26] <bricky> anybody here seen one hour photo?
[08:26] <bricky> lol, my bad
[08:26] <HermanDE_> Polysics, Catchall for all services?
[08:26] <HermanDE_> Polysics, Or just a method for a webserver to serve (anything).domainname.tld?
[08:26] <Polysics> HermanDE, i would say yes, although i am not an expert so i might be wrong
[08:26] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: makes sense.  so I'll be connecting to IRC via the terminal, correct? using xchat or something else?
[08:27] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, or iirc....  do an apt-cache irc
[08:27] <webroasters> help! i pressed enter on my file operations window and it disappeared!
[08:27] <Polysics> HermanDE, i will be doing some reverse proxying with HAProxy to allow for long polling servers
[08:27] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, find one that fits your desire....
[08:27] <Polysics> HermanDE, i gues the easiest thing is a total catch-all setup
[08:27] <webroasters> seriously, it disappeared
[08:27] <PlutoISaPlanet> hermande_: what server are we on?
[08:28] <HermanDE_> Polysics, You could use just about any webserver installed for virtual hosting...  with a DNS wildcard as the second level....
[08:28] <vu1kan> webroasters> the default selection on a file operations window is the 'cancel' button, re-initate the trasfer
[08:28] <vu1kan> *transfer
[08:28] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, freenode
[08:28] <webroasters> oh thats bad
[08:28] <Polysics> HermanDE, yes, my problem is with te DNS setup, the web server is not a problem
[08:28] <Polysics> i have just never manged DNS myself
[08:28] <iceroot> is there a way to get the sound-tray-icon back in lucid so i ca adjust the volume with the mouse-wheel? or is it removed because of a strange new design-idea?
[08:28] <HermanDE_> Polysics, Host it yourself....
[08:28] <Polysics> but my new VPS has no DNS control panel
[08:28] <HermanDE_> Polysics, If you have a static DNS....  Create a DNS server....
[08:29] <unop> Polysics, do you have a fixed IP address?
[08:29] <HermanDE_> Polysics, Host until the cows come home....
[08:29] <Polysics> unop, yes
[08:29] <^DEMOSS^> Have this channel russian pple ?
[08:29] <plutosaplanet> HermanDE_: made it
[08:29] <iceroot> !ru | ^DEMOSS^
[08:29] <HermanDE_> Positive People lost everywhere?
[08:29] <unop> Polysics, then, all you have to do is follow a "Bind Howto"
[08:29] <vu1kan> iceroot> add indicator-applet-session to your panel
[08:29] <Polysics> unop, can you point me to one, please?
[08:30] <HermanDE_> Polysics, or a maradns.....  or a PowerDNS....
[08:30] <iceroot> vu1kan: ok, i will have a look
[08:30] <HermanDE_> Polysics, too many choices...
[08:30] <raegis> ubuntu-ru is empty
[08:30] <unop> Polysics, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIND9ServerHowto
[08:30] <HermanDE_> Polysics, find one that offers wildcards.....
[08:30] <Polysics> HermanDE, i guess BIND is standard enough to use
[08:30] <vu1kan> iceroot> it might be just the indicator-applet...i'm not 100%
[08:30] <iceroot> vu1kan: thx, perfekt
[08:30] <greezmunkey> Polysics: good basic info on bind: http://www.linuxhelp.net/guides/bind/
[08:30] <HermanDE_> Polysics, And it is a pretty steep learning curve if you want to do anything out of the box....
[08:31] <icqn> hey, I can not get a webcam working on lenovo ideapad s10-3t, I have tried it with cheese only however, any ideas?
[08:31] <iceroot> vu1kan: i only have the german name for it but its something like indicator-applet. thank you very much, i was just searching for something called sound in the applet-section
[08:31] <vu1kan> iceroot>np, that's half o' 'nix...helpin each other out
[08:31] <drothli_w> will I break my system by adding some entries to my empty fstab file?
[08:31] <HermanDE_> Polysics, A simple thing is to setup with a DNS register that offers a wildcard DNS....
[08:31] <ennui> how do I make permissions recursive? My linux machine can only read/write the top directory that I;m sharing from OSX
[08:31] <iceroot> vu1kan: you are right
[08:31] <Polysics> HermanDE, can you suggest any, please?
[08:32] <DexterLB> ennui: chmod -R
[08:32] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: ready for my next assignment
[08:32] <DexterLB> does anyone know a vnc viewer for linux that supports scaling? (except tightvnc-java)
[08:32] <HermanDE_> Polysics, use google....  I think Godaddy now offers wildcards....  Hostgater....  Who is your DNS register?
[08:32] <Polysics> atm i register most domains with Dotster
[08:32] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, Try to rename the xorg.conf again to something new.......
[08:33] <iceroot> vu1kan: maybe you know if the mail-icon coming with that applet also can handle thunderbird? or just evolution
[08:33] <ennui> dexterLB: I just put that into the terminal on osx? I'm sharing over a network with smb
[08:33] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, Go back to the GUI.... And hit the CTRL/ALT/Backspace.....
[08:33] <icqn> hey, I can not get a webcam working on lenovo ideapad s10-3t, I have tried it with cheese only however, any ideas?
[08:33] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, Or just logout and restart Xorg....
[08:33] <iceroot> HermanDE_: its diabled in ubuntu
[08:33] <vu1kan> iceroot>i think it only does evo...but you should be able to edit some config file somewhere to make it use TB...i don't use either, so i can't help there
[08:33] <HermanDE_> iceroot, I forgot....  Silly Ubuntu....
[08:33] <iceroot> PlutoISaPlanet: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart   to restart x-server
[08:34] <iceroot> HermanDE_: ah its a good idea to disable such a danger key combo
[08:34] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, iceroot is right on....
[08:34] <DexterLB> ennui: what exactly do you want to do? Have you shared a folder that's on the ubuntu machine with smb or vice versa?
[08:34] <HermanDE_> iceroot, Not so much on a CLI runner...  Actually is a nice retreat from the eye candy....
[08:34] <^DEMOSS^> loltu:
[08:35] <^DEMOSS^> lol
[08:35] <^DEMOSS^> iceroot:
[08:35] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: this will probably disconnect me, i'll brb
[08:35] <iceroot> HermanDE_: the cli can have nice eye candys too
[08:35] <^DEMOSS^> not ru channel )
[08:35] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, It shouldn't if you are in a console....
[08:35] <oddalot> hey, does anyone know how to register with nickserv? I haven't been on irc in a while
[08:35] <bazhang> ^DEMOSS^, /join #ubuntu-ru
[08:35] <HermanDE_> iceroot, Thanks to aalib...  :)
[08:35] <iceroot> !register | oddalot
[08:35] <icqn> hey, I can not get a webcam working on lenovo ideapad s10-3t, I have tried it with cheese only however, any ideas?
[08:35] <iceroot> HermanDE_: no, thanks to zsh
[08:36] <ennui> DexterLB: I am currently sharing both ways with smb. but the ubuntu machine seems to only have read/write permission at the top of the directory that OSX is sharing and none of the subfolders
[08:36] <HermanDE_> iceroot, Why can't people see the beauty of zsh?
[08:36] <iceroot> HermanDE_: its like compiz for the shell :)
[08:36] <oddalot> thx
[08:36] <DexterLB> ennui: ah.
[08:36] <DexterLB> ennui: well that should be an osx problem :(
[08:36] <iceroot> HermanDE_: i dont know, its the most usefull tool around in the linux-world (with vim and apt-get)
[08:37] <HermanDE_> iceroot, I still run BB to prove that the console is just fine...
[08:37] <icqn> where do i find kernel 2.6.34 packages for ubuntu 10.04?
[08:37] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: restarted X per iceroot's instruction
[08:37] <oshua86> can anyone help me with a cairo dock question?
[08:37] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, What does your Xorg.log.0 look like?
[08:37] <vu1kan> now this is a minor annoyance, but in gnome, whenever i hide my panel, it shrinks into the middle of whichever side i click on...but the show button is put back where the panel sits...is there any way to modify that behavior?
[08:38] <icqn> where do i find kernel 2.6.34 packages for ubuntu 10.04?
[08:38] <icqn> hey, I can not get a webcam working on lenovo ideapad s10-3t, I have tried it with cheese only however, any ideas?
[08:38] <greezmunkey> DexterLB: UltraVNC supports scaling: http://www.uvnc.com/index.html
[08:38] <HermanDE_> icqn, Is it supported?
[08:38] <HermanDE_> icqn, What is the model of the camera?
[08:38] <bazhang> icqn, tried camorama ?
[08:38] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: it looks the same to me: no screens found
[08:38] <DexterLB> greezmunkey: i know
[08:39] <DexterLB> but it's windoze only
[08:39] <iceroot> vu1kan: just for your info  http://www.webupd8.org/2010/02/add-thunderbird-to-ubuntu-indicator.html
[08:39] <vu1kan> !patience | icqn
[08:39] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, Did you rename the xorg.conf file to something else?
[08:39] <DexterLB> i have that on my flash drive for when I'm away and i meet a windoze machine
[08:39] <vu1kan> iceroot> nice
[08:39] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: I did
[08:40] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, has the file been recreated?
[08:40] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: /etc/where?
[08:40] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:40] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: I don't see a new xorg.conf
[08:41] <HermanDE_> pastebin the current log
[08:41] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: maybe I haven't exited X properly? ctrl+alt+backspace didn't do anything... what was it supposed to do?
[08:41] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: pastebin coming up
[08:41] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, the backspace is off in the default install....
[08:42] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, you have to go to a console and type in "/etc/init.d/gdm restart
[08:42] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: I did that, it did restart the GUI
[08:42] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: log: http://pastebin.com/vrR9vjVH
[08:43] <^DEMOSS^> LOOOL - i cant write anything in RU channel
[08:43] <^DEMOSS^> SHIT
[08:43] <rww> ^DEMOSS^: umm?
[08:43] <drizzt_> ^DEMOSS^, you need to register on freenode
[08:43] <^DEMOSS^> o_O
[08:44] <^DEMOSS^> i be registered 1 years ago
[08:44] <rww> ^DEMOSS^: you're not identified with nickserv right now.
[08:44] <drizzt_> ^DEMOSS^, so identify yourself
[08:44] <^DEMOSS^> thnx
[08:44] <^DEMOSS^> i try it
[08:47] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: get the log link?
[08:48] <sobersabre> hi.
[08:48] <sobersabre> I have 2 versions of ruby installed.
[08:48] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, Just so I understand.....  You have one card that is NVIDIA that is built in and another card that is ATI....
[08:48] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: correct
[08:48] <gOLDfeesh> I've resized my Windows 7 partition with the LiveCD version of GParted to allocate 60gb i reboot and i get the black screen mentioning about check disk going to start and its stuck at 1 second
[08:49] <sobersabre> I want to change what is /usr/bin/ruby linked to. what's the "debian way" of doing so ? or shall I use rvm in stead ?
[08:49] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, You may have to remove all of the NVIDIA drivers....  And go with the Xorg nv driver....
[08:49] <gOLDfeesh> I remembered to uncheck the round cylinders
[08:49] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: ok
[08:49] <^DEMOSS^> omg
[08:49] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, the nvidia GLX is probably gumming up the works....
[08:50] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, Does your bios have a setting for the built in video card....
[08:50] <^DEMOSS^> 3 minuts and nothing - no e-mail  for verify acc
[08:50] <bazhang> ^DEMOSS^, please take this to #freenode
[08:50] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: sort of
[08:50] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: options are Auto or Onboard Card... from what I've read its best to leave it on Auto
[08:51] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, That's as good as it can get....  After remove all of the NVIDIA specific stuff....  Installing the ATI stuff...
[08:52] <drizzt_> wait you cannot have 2 videocards in Ubuntu?
[08:52] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: whatever works, long as Boxee does too ;)
[08:52] <guzu> hello all
[08:52] <PlutoISaPlanet> drizzt_: my problem is one is the onboard video that I'm not using
[08:52] <guzu> how can i enable compiz on intel 845?
[08:52] <HermanDE_> ^DEMOSS^, The internet should be faster than 360 seconds...  I'd protest against the world internet owners....
[08:53] <gOLDfeesh> Anyone know the solution?
[08:53] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, shut down xorg.... /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[08:53] <^DEMOSS^> i have the last problem  - but i think i fix it more than one day, if i can't get help
[08:53] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, use aptitude and remove all of the NVIDIA specific stuff....
[08:54] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, restart xorg using /etc/init.d/gdm start
[08:54] <vu1kan> guzu > search ubuntuforums.org, there a compiz checker script there that should help ya out
[08:54] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: could you tell me how to use aptitude within the terminal
[08:54] <usf_> salam,how can i uninstall a command line interface??
[08:54] <guzu> vu1kan, thank you very much
[08:54] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: let me shut down and reconnect ot IRC first
[08:54] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, It works like synaptic....
[08:55] <vu1kan> usf_> i don't think you can do that...CLI is the backbone of the OS
[08:55] <Dr_Willis> usf_:  that statement dosent make a lot of sence. what are youy trying to do exactly and why?
[08:56] <usf_> vlukan>there are 6,i need just one
[08:56] <HermanDE_> usf_, Find microkernel based operating system that has a GUI as a kernel module....
[08:56] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: i'm told: "Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
[08:56] <PlutoISaPlanet> utility, e.g. service gdm stop
[08:56] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: when I try to stop X
[08:56] <Dr_Willis> PlutoISaPlanet:  yes.. learn to use the 'service' command. dont use /etc/init.d/XXXXX any more.
[08:56] <^DEMOSS^> HermanDE_:  my internet is good and fast ( 11 mb\sec )
[08:56] <PlutoISaPlanet> Dr_Willis: will do
[08:56] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, Sure....  That is new....  I'm still old school....
[08:56] <john__> I'm having resolution issues using the latest version of UbuntuStudio and my graphics card is a GeForce 210 and everytime I log in, the setting is on auto and puts it at a size way too big (something like 1920X1080) How do I change this to use 1024x768 everytime?
[08:56] <^DEMOSS^> but i cant sea the shiting messege
[08:56] <Dr_Willis> PlutoISaPlanet:  gdm in 10.04 is handled by upstart so you basically have to use the service  command.
[08:57] <bazhang> ^DEMOSS^, watch the language
[08:57] <vu1kan> usf_> six installs of the same package?
[08:57] <HermanDE_> ^DEMOSS^, I'd disconnect now...  It's too slow....
[08:57] <usf_> HermanDE_>how can i do it??
[08:57] <PlutoISaPlanet> Dr_Willis: could you tell me how?
[08:58] <usf_> vlukan>i didn't understand??
[08:58] <Dr_Willis> PlutoISaPlanet:  how to do what? Just a min.. Pizza is done...
[08:58] <bazhang> usf_, you mean the tty?
[08:58] <bazhang> usf_, from ctrl alt f1-f6?
[08:58] <usf_> bazhang>yes
[08:59] <^DEMOSS^> bazhang:  My english is not good - i know it. Last time how i speak in english - it was be june 2009
[08:59] <usf_> yes yes
[08:59] <HermanDE_> usf_, Switch to Coyotos or Nova...  Linux is a monolithic Kernel that heavily uses text input....
[08:59] <bazhang> ^DEMOSS^, you can speak in #ubuntu-ru ; you have not tried to speak there
[09:00] <bazhang> ^DEMOSS^, when I say watch the language, I mean don't say bad words (curse words in here)
[09:00] <^DEMOSS^> bazhang: i CAN'T Speak in ubuntu RU
[09:00] <bazhang> ^DEMOSS^, /join #ubuntu-irc
[09:00] <^DEMOSS^> bazhang: oh , at this interprity
[09:00] <HermanDE_> usf_, edit /etc/inittab
[09:01] <usf_> HermanDE>can u explain more??
[09:01] <guzu> i've installed compiz-settings-manager, how can i find out the binary names?
[09:01] <HermanDE_> usf_, That is the place that has the ctl-alt terminals...
[09:01] <usf_> okey
[09:01] <icqn> what does this option snd-hda-intel model="olpc-xo-1_5" in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf stays for?
[09:02] <HermanDE_> usf_, I understood that you wanted to remove the text from linux....  Linux text based...  And *may* always be that way....
[09:02] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: stopped gdm.  can I perform commands in the terminal with IRC open?
[09:02] <HermanDE_> usf_, Windows and MAC OS X also have kernels that are text based.....
[09:02]  * waldy thinks they should have called 10.4 "Flaccid Falloce" - there are numerous buggies in it.....
[09:02] <vu1kan> hermanDE_ usf was seeing 6 CLI's, and wanting to reduce that down to 1
[09:02] <HermanDE_> usf_, There are a few experimental OSs that have a GUI in the kernel....
[09:03] <usf_> Herman
[09:03] <guzu> vu1kan, in other distros this is done in /etc/inittab
[09:03] <Dr_Willis> PlutoISaPlanet:  the console has several open on alt-ctrl f1 thriough f6 you can have terminals on each console. or use screen
[09:03] <HermanDE_> vu1kan, Got it....
[09:03] <usf_> a want just to keep only one
[09:03] <Dr_Willis> PlutoISaPlanet:  you can irc from the console via irssi, or weechat commands
[09:03] <PlutoISaPlanet> Dr_Willis: perfect, thanks
[09:03] <usf_> HermanDE>i want to keep only one
[09:03] <guzu> vu1kan,  i've installed compiz-settings-manager, how can i find out the binary names?
[09:03] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, use aptitude and the arrow keys.....  There are some nice instructions built in....  You can navigate using the arrow keys....
[09:03] <Dr_Willis> Hmm.. does ubuntu even use /etc/inittab any more? i dident think it did
[09:04] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: thanks
[09:04] <Dr_Willis> guzu:  check the menu item.. its 'ccsm' i recall.
[09:04] <HermanDE_> Dr_Willis, Gawd....  I gotta relearn....
[09:04] <Dr_Willis> guzu:  or check the package manager tool synaptic to see what the package installed.
[09:04] <vu1kan> guzu >i just came across the thread when i thought i could use compiz effects, i've found out that my graphics card can't do that...that exausts my knowedge on the subject
[09:05] <guzu> vu1kan, thank you very much
[09:05] <guzu> Dr_Willis, thank yiou
[09:05] <HermanDE_> Dr_Willis, I need a babysitter in here....  Geeze..  Nice change...  Didn't notice it....
[09:05] <HermanDE_> usf_, check /etc/init/tty*
[09:06] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: how do i get to the search in aptitude?
[09:06] <HermanDE_> usf_, Ensure that you have at least one always available...just in case....
[09:06] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, "/"
[09:06] <Dr_Willis> !inittab
[09:06] <vu1kan> ubbottu help
[09:06] <usf_> inittab doesn't exist
[09:07] <rww> !inittab
[09:07] <guzu> yeah, i've noticed
[09:07] <Dr_Willis> inittab hasent been used in ubuntu in some time i recall.
[09:07]  * Dr_Willis has missed the original question reguarding inittab.
[09:07] <HermanDE_> usf_, Yep...  That was my mistake....  Dr_Willis saved my bacon...  Check http://upstart.ubuntu.com
[09:07] <rww> hrm, not the most useful factoid in the world
[09:08] <HermanDE_> rww, Only if one is still living by SYSV....
[09:08] <Dr_Willis> the docs for upstart last i checked were focused for developers not total beginers who dont even know what a 'init system' is :)
[09:08] <usf_> int /etc/init/ i have 6 tty[1-6].conf " what to do with??
[09:09] <Dr_Willis> usf_:   what do you want to do ?
[09:09] <rww> HermanDE_: one would expect "Ubuntu doesn't use inittab any more, here's how to do the same thing in Upstart". Though considering the crappy state of upstart's documentation last I looked, I'm not surprised.
[09:09] <KnightStalker> .help
[09:09] <KnightStalker> !help
[09:09] <KnightStalker> hmm
[09:09] <Dr_Willis> usf_:  if you want todisable a upstart service from /etc/init - you just rename the whatever.conf to be 'whatever.DONTRUN' or similer named
[09:09] <usf_> Dr_Willis>uninstall a 5 command line interface and let only one
[09:10] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: how do i become root within aptitude?
[09:10] <HermanDE_> rww, I like things that don't change.....
[09:10] <Dr_Willis> usf_:  why are you even bothering? the answer is to rename the tty##.conf files as i mentioned earlier.
[09:10] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, Should have been root to start with....
[09:10] <Dr_Willis> usf_:  and that would be 'disabling the logins on teh consoles'  not 'uistalling command line interface'
[09:10] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, "sudo aptitude"....
[09:10] <gOLDfeesh> I resized my windows 7 partition to free up 60gb when i rebooted i got the check disk screen and its suck at "press any key within 1 second"
[09:11] <usf_> Dr_Willis>okey,gonna do it,thanks
[09:11] <HermanDE_> gOLDfeesh, Do you have the original CD?
[09:11] <HermanDE_> gOLDfeesh, Do a repair...
[09:11] <Dr_Willis> usf_:  is there some reason you dont want the extra consoles?
[09:11] <kazagistar> how do I install my laptop so the entire hard drive is password encrypted?
[09:12] <usf_> Dr_Willis>there a possibility to unistall it? because i need only one and uninstalling them will enhace..
[09:12] <gOLDfeesh> Will I lose anything?
[09:13] <usf_> unistalling them will enhance my OS
[09:13] <HermanDE_> gOLDfeesh, Depends on if it is a RESTORE CD or a full version....
[09:13] <HermanDE_> usf_, How would it enhance your OS?
[09:13] <Dr_Willis> usf_:   You are using the word 'UNinstall' inproperly. and disabling the extra consoles will not enhance anything in any way that i can think of.
[09:14] <Dr_Willis> usf_:  so im wondering why you are evening doing this whole song-and-dance
[09:14] <usf_> HermanDE_>to become more fast
[09:14] <gOLDfeesh> Oh... I rebooted... check disk is working now.. wtf
[09:14] <HermanDE_> usf_, That will not add any speed....
[09:14] <bazhang> usf_, that won't affect the speed
[09:14] <Dr_Willis> usf_:  You  would gain more speed by turning off a few gnome features
[09:14] <Dr_Willis> usf_:  and i doubt if that would really be noticeable
[09:14] <Dr_Willis> Unless you are on a VERY low end machine
[09:14] <guzu> usf_, how much ram?
[09:14] <HermanDE_> usf_, or adding ram....
[09:14] <bazhang> usf_, or using lubuntu-desktop or something similar
[09:15] <HermanDE_> usf_, or acknowledging the speed of your CPU...
[09:15] <gOLDfeesh> It's recovery partition
[09:15] <usf_> 3GB ram,duo core processor @2G 2G
[09:16] <HermanDE_> usf_, What are you running on it to make it seem slow?
[09:16] <usf_> i m using the ultimate edition
[09:16] <PlutoISaPlanet> HermanDE_: think I'm all set.  Start GDM now?
[09:16] <Jfdshgsdd> http://www.lostworlds.lv/go.php?1139757287
[09:16] <bazhang> usf_, well that will do nothing. try turning off compiz for example
[09:16] <Jfdshgsdd> http://www.lostworlds.lv/go.php?1139757287
[09:16] <FloodBot1> Jfdshgsdd: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:16] <HermanDE_> PlutoISaPlanet, Sure....  Give it a shot....
[09:16] <HermanDE_> usf_, Ultimate edition of Ubuntu?
[09:17] <Dr_Willis> usf_:  and its slow?  I think you are trying the wrong things if that much of a system is slow.
[09:17] <usf_> yes
[09:17] <Dr_Willis> usf_:  you did insstall the proper video card drivers?
[09:17] <guzu> usf_, on these specs, the text xonsoles are not significant. they would've been interesting on 16 MB of ram :)
[09:17] <HermanDE_> usf_, How big is your video card?
[09:17] <bazhang> usf_, ultimate is not supported here
[09:17] <bazhang> !ultimate | usf_
[09:18] <idqn> what does this option snd-hda-intel model="olpc-xo-1_5" in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf stays for?
[09:18] <usf_> all right
[09:18] <HermanDE_> usf_, What type of video card do you have?
[09:18] <usf_> intel
[09:19] <HermanDE_> idqn, What is your question?
[09:19] <HermanDE_> usf_, Which model?
[09:19] <PlutosaPlanet> HermanDE_: this xorg log looks pretty good ;)
[09:19] <usf_> i don;t know
[09:19] <bazhang> HermanDE_, usf_ feel free to use the ultimate support channels; its not supported here
[09:19] <^DEMOSS^> SHIT

[09:20] <^DEMOSS^> sosorry 8(
[09:20] <HermanDE_> bazhang, He is having a basic problem of too much OS too little CPU/VIDEO/RAM....  how basic is that?
[09:20] <PlutosaPlanet> HermanDE_: still no go on Boxee
[09:21] <HermanDE_> It is not a distro problem.....  It is a basic knowledge problem...  How is basic linux knowledge not supported?
[09:21] <HermanDE_> Should we force people who are not confident about linux to go to a different channel?
[09:21] <bazhang> HermanDE_, then feel free to join ##linux ; not every thing is supported in here, particularly Mint Ultimate etc
[09:22] <HermanDE_> bazhang, yea... good luck with that....
[09:22] <Dr_Willis> took us 15 min to figure out his actual 'problem' vs. what he was 'actually asking'  - :)
[09:22] <Dr_Willis> and his hardware should be able to run most any disrto out there.
[09:23] <usf_> HermanDE_,bazhang relax

[09:25] <trupheenix> any idea how to fix?
[09:26] <HermanDE_> PlutosaPlanet, Looks clean.....
[09:26] <PlutosaPlanet> HermanDE_: FATAL: CApplication::Create: Unable to init rendering system
[09:26] <kaushal> hi
[09:26] <PlutosaPlanet> HermanDE_: looks fatal ;)
[09:26] <usf_> Dr_willis,i use ubuntu 9.10,i have install the ultimate edition just to try it
[09:26] <kaushal> is this /usr/bin/ionice -c3 /usr/sbin/logrotate correct ?
[09:26] <pinter> buenas madrugadas me uno a  su grupo :)
[09:26] <PlutosaPlanet> HermanDE_: that was an older log
[09:26] <Dr_Willis> usf_:  ive tested it out.. and tossed it out. :) same with most of the other ubuntu-spinoffs
[09:27] <pinter> soi nuevitooo pero solo  sali bastante adelante  kon linux :)
[09:27] <vu1kan> !sp | pinter
[09:27] <kaushal> I am calling logrotate in the shell script
[09:27] <PlutosaPlanet> HermanDE_: with the fatal error.  You're right: this new log looks clean
[09:27] <vu1kan> !es | pinter
[09:27] <unop> vu1kan, you mean !es ?
[09:27] <vu1kan> unop...yea got it figured out
[09:27] <pinter> #ubuntu-es
[09:27] <vu1kan> pinter> /join #ubuntu-es
[09:28] <pinter> okei
[09:28] <pinter> ok  paciencia xD
[09:28] <Pirate_Hunter> does anyone know what is the command to call handbrake with gui from cli?
[09:28] <pinter> #ubuntu-es
[09:28] <pinter> ¬¬
[09:28] <pinter> xD
[09:28] <unop> Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" ...
[09:28] <pinter> ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
[09:28] <pinter> ok ok
[09:28] <HermanDE_> PlutosaPlanet,   I've been googling around....  Looks like 10.4 has compatability issues with ATI+Boxee....
[09:28] <teknon> puppy linux has surprised this long time ubuntu fan
[09:29] <pinter> "/join #ubuntu-es"
[09:29] <vu1kan> thx unop...it's been years since spanish class...
[09:29] <PlutosaPlanet> HermanDE_: just my luck
[09:29] <HermanDE_> PlutosaPlanet, Phreaky....
[09:29] <unop> pinter, sin comillas
[09:29] <HermanDE_> PlutosaPlanet, I'd suggest hitting google with that error....  Some folks have dropped back to 9.10
[09:29] <unop> vu1kan, atleast you took spanish .. I always wanted to. :)
[09:29] <Dr_Willis> teknon:  its handy in ways.. and very annoying in many others. :)
[09:30] <HermanDE_> PlutosaPlanet, Or run it on the nvidia.....  :)
[09:30] <PlutosaPlanet> HermanDE_: will do. thx for all your help tonight
[09:30] <HermanDE_> PlutosaPlanet, Well, we cleaned up your nvidia stuff...  Big plus there....
[09:30] <Dr_Willis> Pirate_Hunter:  i always end up drag/droping a menu item to the desktop and checking its properties . to leran the command line to call it.. I recall handbrake being  some weird nameed binary
[09:30] <PlutosaPlanet> HermanDE_: yes, tyvm
[09:31] <wraanger> hi2all
[09:31] <vu1kan> does anybody know the CLI for 'show desktop' off the top of their head?\
[09:32] <HermanDE_> vu1kan, I thought that was a GNOME function...  not a cli....
[09:32] <Pirate_Hunter> Dr_Willis, true done that before weird enough the cli version of it can be called using HandBrakeCLI while the gui version of it is ghb, I am thinking, huh...?
[09:32] <vu1kan> hermanDE_ i wanna eliminate the panel app that does that, i'm still figuring out all the quirks o' 'nix
[09:32] <vu1kan> i'll just google for it
[09:33] <Dr_Willis> Pirate_Hunter:  yea. i had to figure it out the other day.. i forget what it was called..
[09:33] <Dr_Willis> vu1kan:  you want to remove the panel button that does the 'show desktop' ?
[09:33] <teknon> I think puppy linux is what chrome os is going to be. I think I'll stay out of the cloud.
[09:33] <TrIxMoo> Hi. I am having issues with SSL. Chromium keeps going to 'https://' - the server security certificate is not yet vaild!
[09:33] <guntbert> !ot | teknon
[09:33] <HermanDE_> vu1kan, I think it has to be on a panel....  Choose the desired panel...  And add it to the new panel....  Remove the other panel....
[09:34] <TrIxMoo> how do i solve the problem? Pls advice
[09:34] <pinter> en esta sala por lo menos hablan... mmmmmm
[09:34] <vu1kan> Dr_Willis yep...it uses about 20~25 mb o' ram, i just wanna make a launcher to do the same thing
[09:34] <pinter> hello  my names is Pinter...
[09:34] <Dr_Willis> teknon: see #puppylinux - i think your alalis is incorrect.
[09:34] <guntbert> TrIxMoo: check your system time
[09:34] <pinter> I elite in linux :)
[09:34] <vu1kan> it's only a minor annoyance
[09:34] <LouisJB> hi, after some advice, running 10.04 on OSX under parallels, after network disconnection / sleep of the host the shared networking stops working, is there a way I can diagnose or restart the guest networking to get it working again?
[09:34] <Dr_Willis> vu1kan:  err.. How are you even seeing that the 'show desktop' button is using 20-25mb of ram? all it does is use the minimize button on ever app basically
[09:34] <bazhang> pinter chat in #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here
[09:35] <pinter> ammmm
[09:36] <HermanDE_> pinter, are you the *ONE*?
[09:36] <vu1kan> Dr_Willis it shows in my system monitor...but now that i think about it, it only shows when/right after i use it...*facepalm...
[09:36] <TrIxMoo> guntbert: thx, that helped. But i not sure why the time/date keeps changing after shut down.
[09:36] <pinter> yes
[09:36] <guntbert> TrIxMoo: is it a virtual machine?
[09:37] <TrIxM> guntbert: nop

[10:02] <hawk808> anyone know if ubuntu can connect a guitar via usb
[10:02]  * Dr_Willis has to wonder what kind of guitar has a usb port
[10:02] <vu1kan> the fretlight does
[10:03] <Dr_Willis> if its usb it can connect.. now having drivers/programs to actually do somthing.. thats the harder part..
[10:03] <Dr_Willis> works as a mic/audio in perhaps?
[10:03] <hawk808> 1/4 inch jack to usb are available ive heard though ive not looked for one yet
[10:03] <vu1kan> you might wanna check out lmms, it's in the repos
[10:04] <ddrj> what's a lightweight document processor like abiword ?
[10:04] <Dr_Willis> !info lmms
[10:04] <Dr_Willis> ddrj:   somthing wrong with abiword? thats as about  the best you going to get size/feature wise.
[10:04] <guzu> hawk808, do you know this page? http://www.linux-sound.org/
[10:05] <ddrj> Dr_Willis, nothing wrong with it, i thought it was old tho? 2006 was the last update i saw for it on wikipedia
[10:05] <Dr_Willis> Im not sure how abiword compares to the kde office apps. or what other 'small word processors' are still being developed
[10:05] <Dr_Willis> ddrj:  Hmm, its still being devloped last i checked. i would think the abiword homepage is a better place to get the dates then wikipedia
[10:05] <hawk808> guzu i will take a look
[10:05] <ddrj> ahh thanks Dr_Willis  checking
[10:05] <Dr_Willis> abiword 2.8.5 was just released on the portable apps web site :)
[10:06] <jsmock> part
[10:06] <jsmock> quit
[10:06] <Dr_Willis> Oct 27, 2009
[10:06] <Dr_Willis> AbiWord 2.8 has been released!

[10:07] <ddrj> woah niceee
[10:07] <Dr_Willis> !info abiword
[10:07] <Dr_Willis> Ones in the repo is just a little out of date it seems.

[10:08] <wizard_2010> Hi all,I'm new to ubuntu and was looking for some help could someone assist
[10:08] <Dr_Willis> !manual | wizard_2010
[10:08] <evilsherpa> hey all, anyone had any experience with gpodder - i have dloaded a bunch of podcasts with amarok, but cant put them on my ipod, so i got gpodder, but i dont want to have to re dload them
[10:09] <Dr_Willis> wizard_2010:  if you have a more specific question - then just ask the question.
[10:09] <evilsherpa> Dr_Willis, Im new to stuff - i need assistance
[10:09] <wizard_2010> I have an application on my Iphone its call touch dj I want to be able to record to my laptop
[10:09] <Dr_Willis> evilsherpa:  ive never used gpodder and dont own or ever plan on owning anything by apple. :)  I use miro for my podcasting needs
[10:10] <evilsherpa> Dr_Willis, yeh i was kidding about the assistance part
[10:10] <evilsherpa> miro, may check it out
[10:10] <vu1kan> !ipod | evilsherpa
[10:10] <wizard_2010> this is the app
[10:11] <wizard_2010> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AyEV_qngr4
[10:11] <evilsherpa> vulkan, yeh im all good for ipodness, i justy want to find a way to change the dload list inside gpodder
[10:12] <wizard_2010> is it possible to do I downloaded Audacitu
[10:12] <Sjord> I want to boot the ubuntu installer from hard disk. The docs say I need to have a vmlinuz and an initrd.gz, where do I get those?
[10:12] <vu1kan> !info audacity
[10:12] <Sjord> The documentation says: Copy the following files from the Ubuntu archives to a convenient location on your hard drive
[10:13] <Dr_Willis> Sjord:  from the iso file is one way. Grub2 is capable of booting an ISO file directly from hard drive if you set it up right
[10:13] <Sjord> Interesting.
[10:13] <Sjord> Dr_Willis: Thanks.
[10:13] <Dr_Willis> Sjord:  i set up a ubuntu.iso in my /boot/ partition as a 'rescue if all else fails'  entry  in grub.
[10:13] <wizard_2010> so can someone help with recording my dj mix from iphone to laptop :)
[10:14] <Dr_Willis> Sjord:  unetbootin can also do a 'live cd' type install to a hard drive partition. you could then boot from and install to a different hd/partitions (i think)
[10:14] <rising> hi
[10:14] <vu1kan> !hi | rising
[10:14] <Dr_Willis> wizard_2010:  save it to a file, then  upload the file somewhere.. I imagine very few people have used djmix in here.
[10:14] <trupheenix> can i just add kde to my lucid lynx installation? it won't create any trouble right?
[10:14] <vu1kan> !info kde
[10:14] <erUSUL> trupheenix: righ
[10:15] <rising> is there any way to use webcam with msn here in uuntu?
[10:15] <trupheenix> erUSUL, huh?
[10:15] <Dr_Willis> trupheenix:  your menus may have a few extra entries. but youi can install kubuntu-desktop and use kde or gnome from the GDM liogin screen.. yes.
[10:15] <wizard_2010> thanks Dr
[10:15] <Dr_Willis> trupheenix:  i do it all the time.
[10:15] <erUSUL> trupheenix: right; it should not create any problem.
[10:15] <bazhang> trupheenix, sure kubuntu-desktop package
[10:15] <trupheenix> thanks guys! Dr_Willis erUSUL bazhang
[10:15] <Dr_Willis> trupheenix:  the biggest issue i see with all these extra 'Whatever-desktop' packages installed is often redundant/identically named menu items.
[10:16] <bazhang> trupheenix, you can add a ton more as well xubuntu-desktop lubuntu-desktop etc
[10:16] <Dr_Willis> trupheenix:  Ive seen no good way to totally isolate kde from gnome from xfce, from lxde, and so on..
[10:16] <rising> which is decent application to use webcam and msn?
[10:16] <Dr_Willis> trupheenix:  install ALL of those and you do start getting  some very loaded menu items
[10:16] <erUSUL> rising: amsn ?
[10:16] <Dr_Willis> I must have 5+ differnt terminal icons :)
[10:17] <rising> ok
[10:17] <rising> i will try it thanks :)
[10:17] <rising> and which one is for yahoo webcam wrusul?
[10:17] <trupheenix> bazhang, i was using debian lxde sid/squeeze till now
[10:18] <erUSUL> rising: for yahoo i do not know of any
[10:18] <rising> hmm ok thanks a lot erusul
[10:18] <Sjord> Dr_Willis: Can you supply me with the relevant option from the grub menu, to boot an ISO?
[10:19] <locum> erUSUL, hi
[10:19] <Dr_Willis> Sjord:  check -> http://delicious.com/dr_willis/ under my grub2 'tags' theres a dozen sites with the info
[10:19] <Sjord> Thanks
[10:20] <erUSUL> locum: hi
[10:21] <Guest85294> I'm having difficulty partitioning. Can I just setup a new /dev/sdb and put Linux on that and leave windows on /dev/sda?
[10:22] <Flannel> Guest85294: Yes
[10:22] <Dr_Willis> Guest85294:  you have 2 hard drives?
[10:22] <Guest85294> no only one lol.
[10:22] <erUSUL> Guest85294: yes; you can have linux in its own hard disk
[10:22] <Guest85294> My windows installation has a lot of partitions.. and thus when i try to install Linux it says " unusable
[10:22] <Dr_Willis> Guest85294:  then you dont understand what sda and sdb mean then  :)   sda an sdb would be 2 differnt ahrd drives.. sda1  sda2 sda3 would be different partitions On a single hard drive
[10:23] <vu1kan> Guest85294 i would suggest the 'guided partitioning' option when installing ubuntu from cd
[10:23] <Dr_Willis> Guest85294:  you may need to remove some partitions
[10:23] <Dr_Willis> Guest85294:  linux can install to a logical partition.
[10:24] <gOLDfeesh> I'll post a picture hold up
[10:25] <hawk808> so how would you boot from the slave change bios each time ?
[10:26] <gOLDfeesh> Seeee http://imagebin.ca/view/csmyoAjT.html
[10:26] <Dr_Willis> hawk808:  clarify that statement a bit..
[10:26] <icqn> can you help me with configuring my webcam on lenovo ideapad s10-3t?
[10:26] <erUSUL> hawk808: grub will be installed in the mbr of the boot disk; i see no problem
[10:26] <erUSUL> !webcam
[10:27] <Dr_Willis> gOLDfeesh:  you can have 4 primary partitions MAX.. one of those can be a Extended partition that Holds Logical Partitions. You seem to have ALL primaries.  thats the issue
[10:27] <locum> erUSUL, webcam problem anyone?
[10:27] <hawk808> would you have to change boot priority  in bios each time to  boot from different hard drives
[10:27] <Dr_Willis> gOLDfeesh:  you need to reorder/resize your partitions and make one of them into an extended/logical for linux to install to
[10:28] <gOLDfeesh> Dr_Willis, I'm trying to do that with the unallocated space
[10:28] <Dr_Willis> hawk808:  my pc's have a bios entry to select what hd to boot by default. or a F key at boot time to let me pick what device to boot.
[10:28] <erUSUL> hawk808: no; grub will be installed in the boot disk and from that disk it can boot any OS in any hard disk
[10:28] <vu1kan> hawk808 i booted 8.04 from a slave drive for two years with no issue. you just have to make sure that the os you want is selected in grub
[10:28] <Dr_Willis> gOLDfeesh:  you have 4 primary. YOU are  at a dead end.  You need to move that space into a primary and then resize. or convert a primary to a extgended if you want to isntall another os
[10:29] <PoisonDart> i lost the game
[10:29] <gOLDfeesh> Dr_Willis, I don't know how to do that lol.
[10:29] <Dr_Willis> gOLDfeesh: that 64424 - can not become a new partition. because iof the  4 primary limit
[10:29] <gOLDfeesh> PoisonDart,  I lost the game ;-P
[10:29] <trupheenix> why does the installer take so long? earlier versions of ubuntu used to take 15 minutes to install
[10:29] <trupheenix> it's downloading so much stuff i don't want
[10:29] <bazhang> !ot > PoisonDart
[10:30] <hawk808> each drive will want to boot so i guess bios interuption each time you want to change?
[10:30] <PoisonDart> sorry, i didnt mean to do that in here
[10:30] <Dr_Willis> gOLDfeesh:  delete that little partition at the end..   and the installer should be able to partition the unalocatged space and install there
[10:30] <ubuntuLucid> Hello!
[10:30] <Dr_Willis> gOLDfeesh:  why do you even have a 108mb partition?
[10:30] <vu1kan> !hi | ubuntuLucid
[10:31] <PoisonDart> would a tiny scratch cause an IO error when installing ubuntu 10.04?
[10:31] <PoisonDart> scratch on the CD*
[10:31] <gOLDfeesh> Dr_Willis, where? I see 1.00Mib and a 60.00
[10:31] <zcat[1]> PoisonDart:  it might. try a disk test?
[10:31] <Dr_Willis> gOLDfeesh:  the first 2 partitions are proberly windows7 and windows7's funny boot partition.
[10:31] <PoisonDart> k
[10:31] <PoisonDart> i might just burn another copy and try again: easier
[10:32] <Dr_Willis> gOLDfeesh:  the screen shot shows sda4 as being a 108mb  (33 in use) fat32 partiton,.
[10:32] <gOLDfeesh> Yeah the other two are the recovery and the HP_Tools.. no clue what that is but apparentky I need it
[10:32] <zcat[1]> I've had lots of isntalls fail because I put a thumbprint on the disk getting ot out of the envelope :(
[10:32] <Dr_Willis> PoisonDart:  i always insatll from flash drives these days
[10:32] <Benny000> Hi
[10:32] <vu1kan> gOLDfeesh is your hardware still under warrenty?
[10:33] <ubuntuLucid> How to remove a reported bug from amarok?
[10:33] <gOLDfeesh> vu1kan, umm yes
[10:33] <Guest32119> is it for computer??
[10:33] <vu1kan> gOLDfeesh then i'd leave hp_tools...if you call them you'll need it
[10:33] <bazhang> Guest32119, who are you talking to?
[10:33] <Guest32119> or  linux?
[10:34] <bazhang> Guest32119, is what for computer?
[10:34] <gOLDfeesh> vu1kan,  so I'm screwed UNTIL I get the recovery CDs?
[10:34] <ubuntuLucid> How to remove a reported bug from amarok?
[10:34] <Dr_Willis> that 108mb partition is the 'hp_tools' partition?
[10:34] <PoisonDart> Dr_Willis i don't know how to do that
[10:34] <vu1kan> gOLDfeesh not at all, that partiton just contains tools hp uses for various diagnostic things
[10:34] <gOLDfeesh> ubuntuLucid,  #amarok
[10:34] <ubuntuLucid> Dr_Willis: How to remove a reported bug from amarok?
[10:34] <Dr_Willis> PoisonDart:  use unetbootin, or the usb-disk-creator tool and a 2gb+ flash drive...
[10:35] <ubuntuLucid> Dr_Willis: How to remove a reported bug?
[10:35] <PoisonDart> mhm
[10:35] <gOLDfeesh> I guess I could use Wubi until I get my recovery CD's
[10:35] <Dr_Willis> ubuntuLucid:  no idea what you are really asking.. YOU reported a bug you want to delete from the bug tracker site? or what? be more clear.
[10:35] <PoisonDart> i'll do that if this CD fails
[10:35] <Ginbun2__> I don't get it. my monthly mobile cost is over 60 euros :-(
[10:35] <ubuntuLucid> Dr_Willis: Yes, want to delete ug from bug tracker site...
[10:35] <Dr_Willis> gOLDfeesh:  or just play with it in virtualbox. or froma  flash drive
[10:35] <Dr_Willis> ubuntuLucid:  check teh bugtracker site i guess..
[10:36] <Dr_Willis> I rarely report bugs. :) i comment on others peoples bugs/verify them
[10:36] <gOLDfeesh> Dr_Willis, can I reallocate that 60GB back to Windows?
[10:36] <Dr_Willis> ubuntuLucid:  basuically close the bug.
[10:36] <ubuntuLucid> Dr_Willis: Confused!! Bugs bugging me
[10:36] <gOLDfeesh> or will it corrupt windows?
[10:36] <Dr_Willis> gOLDfeesh:  proberly can.
[10:36] <ubuntuLucid> Dr_Willis: Thats what..how?
[10:36] <gOLDfeesh> it's like two weeks old
[10:36] <cato37> hello. i am using kubuntu 10.04 but there isn't much chat going on. the kde network manager is "disabled" and there has to be a simple way to enable it again.
[10:36] <Dr_Willis> ubuntuLucid:  check bugtracker site..   I dont do much with it.
[10:37] <Dr_Willis> gOLDfeesh:  windows can resize/merge partitions  - i do it all the time.
[10:37] <vu1kan> cato37 disabled? or missing?
[10:37] <gOLDfeesh> Okay.. I'll reboot into Windows..
[10:37] <sunrise> Hello, i would like to install nessus, but i have many errors http://paste.ubuntu.com/451981/
[10:37] <Dr_Willis> gOLDfeesh:  i still have no idea what the sda4 partition is.. or what sda1 is :) You could burn your own backup disks also.
[10:38] <gOLDfeesh> Dr_Willis,  it's a recovery partition. and HP_TOOLS are provided by them
[10:38] <gOLDfeesh> I dunno it's for diagnostics
[10:38] <Dr_Willis> gOLDfeesh:  thats the kind of stuff i always remove. :)
[10:38] <gOLDfeesh> I haven't worked for them in ages
[10:38] <abhijain> i m trying to remove application on ubuntu software center error: this application cannot be removed repair it

[10:39] <Dr_Willis> gOLDfeesh:  whats on sda3 anyway? its not got a lot in use.

[10:39] <Dr_Willis> gOLDfeesh:  you could move data from sda3 and let linux use that

[10:41] <lana> oh sit
[10:41] <gOLDfeesh> Like,  as soon as I get my recovery CD's the recovery partition is going bye bye

[10:41] <Dr_Willis> hawk808:  getting a listng of ALL the channels on many irc servers will flood the client with more data then it can handle. Use some filters to trim down the data sent.

[10:42] <lana> onek
[10:42] <hawk808> rww in the input at the bottom right?

[10:42] <Optikn3rv> morning
[10:42] <rww> hawk808: no, in the same place you're typing now. alis is a freenode services bot.

[10:45] <vu1kan> abhijain use synaptic package manager
[10:45] <wizard_2010> how can i change this via terminal ?
[10:45] <rww> !sudo | wizard_2010
[10:45] <rww> !noroot
[10:45] <Dr_Willis> wizard_2010:  initial user has sudo/root rights and is the admin.. clafiry what you mean
[10:45] <bazhang> wizard_2010, you should really read the manual
[10:45] <icqn> Dr_Willis, my experience is that all of them worked, but on gentoo
[10:45] <Optikn3rv> silly question but how do  i turn off the mouse click when i tap the pad on my lappy, its driving me nuts
[10:46] <bazhang> http://ubuntu-manual.org/ wizard_2010
[10:46] <zombie_> how do you tell if someone is a mod on here?
[10:46] <rek> have you seen my paste?
[10:46] <wizard_2010> Your system has an audio group, but you are not a member of it.
[10:46] <wizard_2010> Please add yourself to the audio group by executing (as root):
[10:46] <wizard_2010>   usermod -a -G audio (null)
[10:46] <rww> zombie_: /msg chanserv access #ubuntu list
[10:46] <Dr_Willis> icqn:  that is interesting.. if you find a disrto it works on. You could check what Modules are getting loaded and try loading them on ubuntu also.
[10:46] <erUSUL> Optikn3rv: System>Preferences>mouse ? does it have a tab for configuring the touchpad ?
[10:46] <Dr_Willis> icqn:  its also possible if the worked just recently on other disrtos. it may be some new driver in the newer kernels
[10:46] <rek> whats the command to unmute the volume at the boot?
[10:46] <rww> wizard_2010: issue "sudo usermod -a -G audio yourusernamehere"
[10:46] <Optikn3rv> erusul thnx will look or learn not to slap the pad lol

[10:47] <stupidupdateingo> a *,bin file can be installed on its own right correct?
[10:47] <icqn> Dr_Willis, at the moment i fail to find out that manufacturer it belongs to...
[10:47] <hawk808> #ubuntu -offtopic
[10:48] <rek> whats the command to unmute the volume at the boot?
[10:48] <stupidupdateingo> .../join mr hawk
[10:48] <Dr_Willis> stupidupdateingo:  techincally a 'bin' file could be anything.. but the exension is often used for a 'self installing executable'
[10:48] <vu1kan> !patience | rek
[10:48] <stupidupdateingo> ubuntu is trying use gedit to open it -.-
[10:48] <Optikn3rv> just check mouse options dont have a option to setup laptop pad
[10:48] <Dr_Willis> icqn:  if you got a gentoo live cd.  you could see if it works.. and see what modules are loaded. Other then that.. if lsusb and lspci are not showing it.. not sure what else to try
[10:49] <stupidupdateingo> i may have messed up file assoc. trying to edit my xp registry...
[10:49] <erUSUL> stupidupdateingo: you will have to mark it as executable ...
[10:49] <stupidupdateingo> hmm
[10:49] <Dr_Willis> stupidupdateingo:  dont 'double click' use the terminal to run it
[10:49] <icqn> Dr_Willis, i do not a´have a cd-rom on this netbook
[10:49] <Dr_Willis> icqn:  bummer. thats why i have a 'box-o-flash-drives' :)  on my desk
[10:50] <rek> i 'm using a p3 800mhz now this is not funny at all
[10:50] <Dr_Willis> rek:  that low end a machine. You may want to use lubuntu, or xubuntu.
[10:50] <icqn> Dr_Willis, many pages mentions that is work out ob the box, but not with ubuntu it seems
[10:51] <Dr_Willis> icqn:  it may be a simple matter of  a moduile not gettting auto loaded as needed
[10:51] <rek> i'm using fluxbox
[10:51] <Dr_Willis> icqn:  you could try the 'hardinfo' tool. it shows a lot of good info on hardware on a machine.

[10:51] <kleopson> Hello, my ubuntu 10.04 freezes at random times. I have uninstalled the proprietary drivers from Hardware Manager, installed the ati drivers from official website but still freezes randomly! Any suggestions?
[10:51] <swop> stupidupdateingo: ./my_exec
[10:51] <Dr_Willis> stupidupdateingo:  chmod +x whatever.bin   then ./whatever.bin
[10:52] <swop> ^^
[10:52] <Dr_Willis> stupidupdateingo:  what IS this .bin you are trying to run?
[10:52] <vu1kan> kleopson add more ram?
[10:52]  * erUSUL bets java
[10:52] <rek> my idesk doesn't run
[10:52] <stupidupdateingo> tremoluos backport update..
[10:52] <kleopson> vu1kan, don't you think 4 gb is enough for ubuntu?
[10:52] <pedestrianentran>  how can I make my ubuntu box shutdown automatically when rhythmbox has finished playing a music cd? My current crude solution is to look at the cd play time (x) and use shutdown -h +x
[10:53] <Dr_Willis> stupidupdateingo:  that  phrase 'backport update' makes no sence..     where did this file come from exactly?
[10:53] <kleopson> vu1kan,  my sistem is brand new, a laptop dell inspiron 1545 2,1 ghz 4 gb ram ati hd4330
[10:53] <swop> kleopson: my / partition use 4,5G
[10:53] <vu1kan> kleopson that sounds like a heck of a problem...
[10:53] <stupidupdateingo> the tremoulus ftp servvers... in game when trying to register a user name, the game tells me to update the backport
[10:53] <Dr_Willis> stupidupdateingo:  its possible its just some little file you copy to some proper location of an existing install of the game.. but that would be weird.
[10:54] <stupidupdateingo> thats what the winxp whow to's suggest
[10:54] <vu1kan> kleopson was it a fresh instal, or an upgrade?
[10:54] <kleopson> vu1kan,  well it is because, as I said at random times it freezes and I can't do nothing, just shut it down from power button and restart it.
[10:54] <stupidupdateingo> but i can't copy/paste into it's directory
[10:54] <kleopson> vu1kan,  fresh install
[10:54] <kleopson> vu1kan,  checked dvd for errors, no errors were found.
[10:54] <stupidupdateingo> the "paste command isnt selectable
[10:54] <suresh> Hello chat room, how to count monthly bandwidth usage on ubuntu?
[10:54] <Dr_Willis> stupidupdateingo:  perahsp you should uninstall the version you have if you installed from the repos.. and install  the latest version from the tremulus homepage to your users home dir.
[10:54] <stupidupdateingo> hmm
[10:55] <Dr_Willis> stupidupdateingo: to put things in a system dir.. You need root rights..
[10:55] <vu1kan> kleopson do you have a large number of processes running?
[10:55] <stupidupdateingo> yea i didnt think the repos would be out of date?
[10:55] <Dr_Willis> stupidupdateingo:  so what directory does the docs say it needs to go to?
[10:55] <Dr_Willis> stupidupdateingo:  ubuntu is always out of date. :) it gets updated every 6 mo...
[10:55] <kleopson> vu1kan,  firefox, sometimes vlc...empathy...that's all
[10:55] <suresh> is there any special package or log where we can look for bandwidth usage?
[10:55] <Dr_Willis> so for about 1 day.. every 6 mo it may be the latest version.. but things just change too fast.
[10:55] <stupidupdateingo> i have /usr/games open now.. i'm not familiar with how ubuntu organises such things
[10:55] <kleopson> vu1kan,  the system isn't loaded...i don't do a lot of things on it, just browse the web, listening radios with vlc and using empathy.
[10:55] <stupidupdateingo> xD
[10:55] <suresh> any help regarding this will be appreciated
[10:55] <stupidupdateingo> dr_ thats a good thing tho
[10:56] <Dr_Willis> stupidupdateingo:  i would say just get the one from their homepage. Install it in your users home dir - Not system wide.
[10:56] <stupidupdateingo> kk
[10:56] <vu1kan> kleopson check your system monitor periodically, my guess would be something's taxing your resources

[10:57] <|ns|nR8> kleopson, does it lock up with n odisplay driver installed
[10:57] <kleopson> |ns|nR8,  sorry I'm new, don't know what that is
[10:58] <kleopson> vu1kan,  I don't think it;s a memory issue, my guess it has to do something with drivers
[10:58] <kleopson> vu1kan,  9.10 worked so fine...until I did a fresh install
[10:58] <vu1kan> Pirate_Hunter lshw does it for me
[10:59] <suresh> i thought that i will get any help here..
[10:59] <Dr_Willis> Pirate_Hunter:  you could t5ry the 'hardinfo' program also
[10:59] <Dr_Willis> and here i was answering suresh...
[10:59] <Dr_Willis> oh well..
[11:00] <vu1kan> kleopson i was having the same issue with 8.04, it fixed itself after i re-installed...wish i knew more about the logging in 'nix there's gotta be some log somewhere that can help ya
[11:00] <Pirate_Hunter> Dr_Willis, will check
[11:00] <Dr_Willis>  logs --> /var/log/XXXX     normally
[11:00] <erUSUL> Pirate_Hunter: dmesg | grep -iE '(atapi|dvd)'
[11:00] <kleopson> vu1kan,  ehh it's ok...don't worry, thanks for your assistance.

[11:05] <nomnex> I need to access my printer, when I connect to a usb the location is /dev/usblp0. Now the printer is connected to a wirless print server. What is the location?
[11:05] <Dr_Willis> sillyubuntunoobn:  chmod +x whatever
[11:05] <bazhang> sillyubuntunoobn, you dont fill the channel with unnecessary noise
[11:05] <Dr_Willis> sillyubuntunoobn:  chmode +x whatever
[11:06] <Dr_Willis> !permissions | sillyubuntunoobn
[11:06] <nomnex> I only have the device URI from the preference: socket://<IP_ADDRESS>:9100
[11:06] <Dr_Willis> nomnex:  that sort of URI works for my wireless printer  - it depends on the servers/servicves the printer is set up to handle
[11:06] <guzu> nomnex, and why is that not enough?
[11:07] <Dr_Willis> Mohero:  check the cups web admin  page   http://localhost:631  and let it scan the network
[11:07] <nomnex> I have to modify the printer permission to use an app called mtink (ink level)
[11:07] <nomnex> Dr_Willis, so how can I find the printer on my system?
[11:08] <Dr_Willis> nomnex:  its possible taht app might not work on a networked printer. just a local one..  My network printer has  toner level info in its cups settings/info page/tabs
[11:09] <nomnex> Dr_Willis, I have a Canon, not very compatible on Linux. Local/remote, both do not work form me (toner level) that why I was trying mtink
[11:10] <nomnex> Dr_Willis, I guess, you are right about local printer, but I want to try anyway, where do I find my remote printer on the sytem?
[11:11] <dahok> odd sound issues...  booted up today and sound was coming from both my speakers and headphones (standard jack).  now if i plug in my headphones, sound is very muffled
[11:11] <dahok> tried different headphones, nothing changes in my hardware
[11:11] <ectospasm> I'm using Lucid, and I've got an issue where my desktop machine will block I/O and the hard drive light goes solid.  Switching applications, or providing input to existing applications, pauses when this happens.  I don't remember this happening with Karmic, and it seems related to the SATA HD controller (or its driver). iotop doesn't give any clues (but it's missing crucial data due to a certain
[11:11] <ectospasm> compile directive not being built in).  Any ideas what may be causing this?
[11:12] <dahok> saw 2-3 recent topics on the forum.  but none of them had any replies
[11:15] <Dr_Willis> nomnex:  the cups web interface shows/scans all printers on my system
[11:15] <Dr_Willis> nomnex:  ive no idea what 'device' you would alter to change permissiosn on a printer.
[11:16] <guzu> nomnex, btw, what printer and what driver?
[11:16] <Dr_Willis> nomnex:  and i plan on never buying a canon printer for my Linux machines (or for any other machines) ever again. :)
[11:16] <nomnex> Dr_Willis, okay thank, so am I. I just know that when the printer is connected to the usb it is in /dev/usb/lp0
[11:17] <Dr_Willis> nomnex:  and now that its networked.. its as if it was a seperate computer ojn the network.. so i dont think you can just change  some /dev/ entries for it
[11:17] <nomnex> guzu, Canon i6500, and the driver I use for the printer is one of the Canon default print driver, i9500.
[11:17] <sillyubuntunoobn> does /w do anything?
[11:18] <nomnex> Dr_Willis, it makes sens, dev/ will not show the printer
[11:18] <guzu> nomnex, i'll check the files installed by the driver
[11:18] <sillyubuntunoobn>  sudo chmod -x tremulous-gpp1-installer.run /home chmod: cannot access `tremulous-gpp1-installer.run': No such file or directory??
[11:19] <nomnex> guzu, wait a sec. I double check the print driver model
[11:19] <rww> sillyubuntunoobn: +x, not -
[11:19] <sillyubuntunoobn> xD
[11:19] <sillyubuntunoobn> ty
[11:19] <Dr_Willis> sillyubuntunoobn:  its +x
[11:19] <nomnex> guzu, Canon PIXMA Pro9500 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.4
[11:20] <Dr_Willis> sillyubuntunoobn:  and you downloaded both the installer .run files ?
[11:20] <sillyubuntunoobn> same error, can't find file.. thought i was at the desktop ?
[11:20] <sillyubuntunoobn> no there was only one?
[11:20] <sillyubuntunoobn> i uninstalled the old ones
[11:20] <Dr_Willis> look again...
[11:21] <Dr_Willis>  the gpp1 is a Update to the other installer 1.1 package
[11:21] <dahok> :(   ok.... i'll ask later today.
[11:21] <sillyubuntunoobn> but i have both the primary installer and the backport.. but this file is 6mb-only an installer
[11:21] <nomnex> guzu, Canon i80 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.4, (same printer - different resolution)
[11:21] <Dr_Willis> willis@cow:~/Downloads$ ls tremulous-*

[11:22] <sillyubuntunoobn> and what was posteed is a terminal command?
[11:23] <Dr_Willis> http://tremulous.net/files/
[11:23] <Dr_Willis> Download both..  install both..
[11:23] <Dr_Willis>  tremulous-1.1.0-installer.x86.run   and  tremulous-gpp1-installer.x86.run
[11:24] <Dr_Willis> gpp1 = the 'beta' patch
[11:24] <arunkumar413> hi,what is the channel for mono
[11:24] <sillyubuntunoobn> ah
[11:24] <sillyubuntunoobn> i didnt know it was only a patch
[11:24] <Dr_Willis> 'Windows and Linux users will need a working copy of 1.1 for the installers to patch.'
[11:24] <vu1kan> arunkumar413 the right channel
[11:27] <sillyubuntunoobn> now i just need to run them, in terminal..but it doesnt see them
[11:28] <somebody_> hi im looking to buy a notebook with the new ubuntu netbook version on it. could anyone recommend a good linux-compatible notebook i should be looking for?
[11:29] <sillyubuntunoobn> notebook as  in a laptop?
[11:29] <Dr_Willis> sillyubuntunoobn:  and where did you install the game to? or are you meaning the .run  you downloaded?
[11:30] <somebody_> sillyubuntunoobn yep
[11:30] <sillyubuntunoobn> the files i d/led.. when i run the command properly it says they don't exist..i thought i was at the desktop directory
[11:30] <AzikaCorp> hi all ! I am looking for a soft to desimlock my phone
[11:30] <Dr_Willis> sillyubuntunoobn:  are they on the Desktop? can you see them?
[11:30] <Dr_Willis> when in doubt.. look :)
[11:30] <sillyubuntunoobn> i thought almost all pc's were linux compatable
[11:30] <sillyubuntunoobn> yes dr
[11:31] <Dr_Willis> sillyubuntunoobn:  its often specific hardware that has linux issues.
[11:31] <somebody_> i'm looking at the new Dell Mini's.. what do you guys think?
[11:31] <wizard_2010> Hello back again, can someone help me with getting play dj to play out of my laptop speakers?
[11:31] <Dr_Willis> sillyubuntunoobn:  if the files are on the 'Desktop' then from a terminal do a 'cd ~/Desktop' to change the termial to that directory
[11:31] <sillyubuntunoobn> right, often fixed or addressed quickly
[11:31] <Dr_Willis> wizard_2010:  wasent play dj an iphone app?
[11:31] <sillyubuntunoobn> permission denied, sudo cd isnt recognised
[11:31] <Dr_Willis> sillyubuntunoobn:  i never said to do 'sudo'
[11:32] <wizard_2010> no, touch dj was a iphone app
[11:32] <sillyubuntunoobn> yea, same vice versa
[11:32] <ff88> hi I'm using XNest and having problems with the keyboard. When I press "up arrow" it takes it as "STAMP"
[11:32] <wizard_2010> I downloaded this
[11:32] <Dr_Willis> cd ~/Desktop
[11:32] <Dr_Willis> ls
[11:32] <Dr_Willis> should show the files on the Desktop
[11:32] <wizard_2010> just cant get it to play sound
[11:34] <Dr_Willis> wizard_2010:  and play dj is a linux app from the repos? or where exactly?
[11:34] <wizard_2010> yes from the software centre
[11:35] <sillyubuntunoobn> pp8@pp8-desktop:~$ cd ~/desktop ls bash: cd: /home/pp8/desktop: No such file or directory
[11:35] <wizard_2010> this is what it looks like http://djplay.sourceforge.net/images/ss_large.jpg
[11:35] <Dr_Willis> sillyubuntunoobn:  Linux IS case senecetive..
[11:35] <Dr_Willis> sillyubuntunoobn:  Desktop is not the same as desktop
[11:35] <sillyubuntunoobn> grrrr
[11:35] <sillyubuntunoobn> =/ again i forget that
[11:35] <wizard_2010> I just cant get it to play sound dont no how to change card or what ive to do
[11:35] <Dr_Willis> sillyubuntunoobn:  perhaps time to spend an hr learnign bash fundamentals? :)
[11:35] <cbo> hi all. problem with evince: F11 is binded to "open file" instead of "fullscreen". can i change it?.  u10.04 nbr
[11:36] <Dr_Willis> sillyubuntunoobn:  learn to use the TAB key to complete filenames/dir names :) saves time
[11:36] <Dr_Willis> sillyubuntunoobn:  and you put 2 commands on one line...
[11:36] <Dr_Willis> cd ~/Desktop
[11:36] <Dr_Willis> ls
[11:37] <mouse> Whenever I install the linux header updates should I update grub too?
[11:37] <Dr_Willis> mouse:  grub2 has always auto-updated for me here.. never had to manually do it
[11:38] <mouse> Dr_Willis, Linux headers updates have killed my linux partition many times.  Am I the only one who goes through that or what?
[11:38] <Dr_Willis> mouse:  ive never had linux header uipdates affect anything at all.
[11:39]  * Vroomfondle concurs
[11:39] <Dr_Willis> No idea how installing a pacakge could 'kill a partition'
[11:39] <Dr_Willis> Unless the HD is going bad.. or you were being a little over-the-top :)
[11:40] <mouse> Dr_Willis, Sometimes when installing the updates it will ask me to reboot and when I do grub gives me an error and says there's no bootable os on the linux partition.
[11:41] <sillyubuntunoobn> i'm now restricted from accessing the file browser?
[11:41] <sillyubuntunoobn> nvm
[11:41] <Vroomfondle> that sounds like there's something up with grub, rather than with the headers
[11:41] <sillyubuntunoobn> it was already open
[11:41] <Vroomfondle> or with the linux image I guess... but that'd be weird
[11:41] <guzu> like mixing sda sdb and sdc
[11:41] <mouse> Vroomfondle, It only happens when I update the headers.  I install every other update on the list so it must be them.
[11:42] <Vroomfondle> mouse: grub doesn't use the headers.
[11:42] <Vroomfondle> at all
[11:42] <mouse> It happened with my girlfriend too so I know it's not just me.
[11:42] <guzu> mouse, paste your grub.cfg
[11:42] <Vroomfondle> it's possible that your grub config is being messed up somehow by a post-install script or something
[11:43] <guzu> or the relevant part, anyway
[11:43] <Dr_Willis> sillyubuntunoobn:  i just installed the game to my /home/username/tremulos directory.  makes it easier to work with
[11:43] <mouse> guzu, I don't have it on this machine.  It always seems easier to just reinstall the OS since I don't know how to fix that.
[11:44] <pmystique> #
[11:44] <sillyubuntunoobn> ugh
[11:44] <sillyubuntunoobn> i ran the command and it seemed successful...but there are no files in /home
[11:44] <Dr_Willis> sillyubuntunoobn:  it would bne in /home/YOURUSERNAME/
[11:44] <sillyubuntunoobn> it would be so much easier if i could just click on them and install like it was meant to be run
[11:45] <slow-motion> hi
[11:45] <Dr_Willis> sillyubuntunoobn:  the patch does have a update..
[11:45] <Dr_Willis> sillyubuntunoobn:  it took me all of 2 min to install both the things...
[11:45] <sillyubuntunoobn> but all you had to do was click on them
[11:45] <Dr_Willis> the 2nd one has a gui config.. you can proberly just double clcik on it.. the first one is a terminal app
[11:45] <Dr_Willis> so the first one has to run in a terminal.. I think
[11:45] <Dr_Willis> i did not just click on them
[11:46] <Dr_Willis> i did a 'chmod +x whatever.run' then ran the first one..  then same to the 2nd one.
[11:46] <Sertse> can totem play CDs
[11:46] <sillyubuntunoobn> only reason i'm trying to run it in terminal is  my file assocation is messed up, or package installers isnt installed correctly..
[11:46] <vandy> cilacap
[11:46] <mouse> Can I boot from a live cd and update the grub on a hard drive so it would boot into the partition again if that happens again?
[11:46] <moza> Hi, i am installing ubuntu 10.4 with raid1 and lvm on it. I am at the question whether i want to boot my system if my RAID becomes degraded. I would like to have a warning and be able to use the recovery shell, but i don't mind having the possibility to boot additionally to that (could be useful)
[11:46] <guzu> mouse, what ubuntu version?
[11:47] <moza> What would you advise for this "boot degraded raid" option?
[11:47] <Dr_Willis> sillyubuntunoobn:  the first one is a command line installer. it has to run in a terminal
[11:47] <mouse> 10.04 from 9.10
[11:47] <wildbat> question~ can anyone know how to fix the lid button? it is not working correctly, when pressed the screen off for 0.5sec and back on, as well as when released. any clue?
[11:47] <Dr_Willis> sillyubuntunoobn: so where did you insstall the first one to exactly? what path did you give it?
[11:48] <sillyubuntunoobn> .../home
[11:48] <sillyubuntunoobn> i think that was bad...
[11:48] <guzu> mouse, sudo ls /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[11:48] <sillyubuntunoobn> now i'm having trouble accesing hd's and terminal
[11:49] <sillyubuntunoobn> ailed to change to directory '/home/pp8' (Permission denied) when opening terminal
[11:49] <Dr_Willis> sillyubuntunoobn:  you did not want /home/ you wanted /home/YourUSername/tremolus or whatever... Your USER has no rights to access /home/ just /home/YourUsername
[11:49] <guzu> sillyubuntunoobn, you've previously run chmod -x /hmoe, remember?
[11:49] <guzu> sillyubuntunoobn, you've previously run chmod -x /home, remember?
[11:50] <sillyubuntunoobn> ugh
[11:50] <Dr_Willis> -x ing /home is not good...
[11:50] <malcom> AdminX, Hey
[11:50] <sillyubuntunoobn> noo
[11:50] <guzu> sillyubuntunoobn, in this case .-x meant no access :)
[11:50] <Dr_Willis> It pays to pay attention to what you are doing i guess.. :)
[11:50] <Dr_Willis> this is why i was suggesting installing the game as a 'user' that way the user couldent mess up the system.
[11:50] <guzu> sillyubuntunoobn, just chmod +x /home
[11:50] <sillyubuntunoobn> that was run with +x /home  /home was never run -x...
[11:50] <sillyubuntunoobn> but just in case
[11:51] <sillyubuntunoobn> oh yea.. can't aces terminal
[11:51] <sillyubuntunoobn> alt-f2 works
[11:51] <Failican> anyone knows how to get a microphone working with ubuntu 10.4?
[11:51] <guzu> sillyubuntunoobn>  sudo chmod -x tremulous-gpp1-installer.run /home chmod: cannot access `tremulous-gpp1-installer.run': No such file or directory??
[11:51] <guzu> some time ago
[11:52] <sillyubuntunoobn> =c
[11:52] <sillyubuntunoobn> sob
[11:52] <sillyubuntunoobn> -.- sry
[11:52] <guzu> don't have to, just run it with +x :)
[11:53] <AdminX> malcom, test
[11:54] <sillyubuntunoobn> i ran it in terminal using alt-f2?  and no dice..
[11:54] <lee_> 哟西
[11:54] <sillyubuntunoobn> crap now i need to re-install it
[11:54] <sillyubuntunoobn> ??
[11:54] <Dr_Willis> sillyubuntunoobn:  alt-f2 and run 'xterm'  to get a termional perhaps
[11:55] <Dr_Willis> sillyubuntunoobn:  you ahve done so many typos and other things.. its hard for us to tell what the current state of your system is.
[11:55] <sillyubuntunoobn> ^^
[11:55] <Dr_Willis> sillyubuntunoobn:  and you definatly did NOT need to use a 'sudo' to chmod the .run file
[11:55] <AdminX> malcom this is a test
[11:55] <sillyubuntunoobn> well it was denieing access without that
[11:55] <Dr_Willis> sillyubuntunoobn:  my fast and dirty script that shows what commands i did to install the game.
[11:56] <Dr_Willis> http://paste.ubuntu.com/452006/
[11:56] <sillyubuntunoobn> i must have messed uup the install
[11:56] <Dr_Willis> sillyubuntunoobn:  if your /home/ is not executable.. then  You MUST fix that. 'sudo chmod +x /home'
[11:57] <blekos> hello, my two biggest problems with ubuntu is: I cannot adjust the brightness of my laptop and 2) I cannot get into powersave mode or any mode
[11:57] <Dr_Willis> someone want to test my little script? :)  (well its not even a script) just a history output
[11:58] <sillyubuntunoobn> i think i used toshiba drivers on a nother laptop to fix that??
[11:58] <Dr_Willis> Toshiba makes linux drivers?
[11:59] <Dr_Willis> a check of the forums for the exact brand/make/model laptop - may yeild some fix's
[11:59] <rek> asm/io.h Dr_Willis where can i find it
[11:59] <sillyubuntunoobn> i d/led them as drivers for a monitor, from synaptic.. for an lcd display i knew toshiba made
[11:59] <sillyubuntunoobn> dr's adive would be wise
[11:59] <sillyubuntunoobn> adivse
[11:59] <sillyubuntunoobn> grr
[12:00] <sillyubuntunoobn> i think i need sleep, or more caffine
[12:00] <hdtdi> hi. can you help me with my mic. i dont know what is happening. one moment i am using skype and i can talk and everything, and in the next moment.. my mic stop working.. in the volume control there is nothing muted the volume is not low.. but when i talk in input level scale is not moving. whei restart my computer its fixed for some time and then again.. stops working
[12:00] <rek> hei
[12:00] <Dr_Willis> sillyubuntunoobn:  and some reading of linux command line basics. :)
[12:00] <Dr_Willis> sillyubuntunoobn:  book mark my little script i made. and try it again later perhaps
[12:01] <sillyubuntunoobn> bookmarkeed
[12:01] <prince_jammys> rek: search at packages.ubuntu.com
[12:01] <Optikn3rv> doing my nut in here, installed gpoint but still cant turn off pad tapping on this lappy, there is no tab for pad
[12:02] <sillyubuntunoobn> i can't get the commands to run to restore rights to /home.. i'm surprised i'm still here
[12:02] <sillyubuntunoobn> i guess my only option is a re-install
[12:02] <prince_jammys> sillyubuntunoobn: can you show output for '' ls -ld /home ''
[12:02] <jimcooncat> how would I go about moving /var/cache/apt-cacher to another partition? I'm running out of room on /, but I got plenty on my separate /home.
[12:03] <Dr_Willis> sillyubuntunoobn:  You are thinking in windows terms...
[12:03] <sillyubuntunoobn> no? i don't have access to anything on the computer..terminal wont run permission denied
[12:03] <Dr_Willis> sillyubuntunoobn:  your best option is to 'fix' the system
[12:03] <Dr_Willis> sillyubuntunoobn:  you try alt-f2 and 'xterm' ? do you have any terminals open?
[12:04] <sillyubuntunoobn> yes, gnome-terminal was tried..same thing
[12:04]  * Dr_Willis wonders how you can not have at least 1 terminal open.. we have been giving uyou terminal commands for the last 2 hrs...
[12:04] <Dr_Willis> not gnome-terminal.. 'xterm'
[12:04] <sillyubuntunoobn> right
[12:04] <prince_jammys> can't open the terminal because it cd's to his home.
[12:04] <Dr_Willis> prince_jammys:  it should give an error and put him in /
[12:04] <prince_jammys> ah
[12:04] <sillyubuntunoobn> i closed the xtras and then was denied for the last one and it closed
[12:04] <Dr_Willis> sillyubuntunoobn:  or 'alt-f2 and gksudo gnome-terminal'
[12:05] <Dr_Willis> that will open a root terminal...
[12:05] <prince_jammys> yeah, try that.
[12:05] <Dr_Willis> Your 2 mistakes you made with chmoding earlier. broke things...
[12:05] <AdminX> malcom what video card do you have
[12:06] <sillyubuntunoobn> yea..
[12:07] <sillyubuntunoobn> i noticed in grub there are previous versions even after an update..would it be possible to boot that and just update to "fix" this
[12:08] <Dr_Willis> sillyubuntunoobn:  those are KENREL versions.. not 'os versions'
[12:08] <sillyubuntunoobn> or will that further mess things up?
[12:08] <Dr_Willis> open that root terminal like i said earlier...
[12:08] <sillyubuntunoobn> ah cripes
[12:08] <tuckham> I just installed ubuntu and need help getting my logitech wireless keyboard to work
[12:08] <Dr_Willis> tuckham:  bluetooth? or what kind of wireless?
[12:08] <tuckham> 2.4ghz
[12:09] <sillyubuntunoobn> dr_ if the terminal was open we'd would be solving this...
[12:09] <tuckham> the wireless mouse works with no problems
[12:09] <jimcooncat> ok, I found the directive to change the cache directory in apt-cacher.conf. Now I need to make a directory usable by user "www-data" apparently. mkdir ~/.apt-cacher then chown?
[12:09] <sillyubuntunoobn> the commands given did not open a terminal
[12:09] <sillyubuntunoobn> xterm is not an app on my computer
[12:09] <Dr_Willis> sillyubuntunoobn:  so you are saying that 'alt-f2' and 'gksudo gnome-terminal' did not work?
[12:09] <sillyubuntunoobn> yes
[12:09] <tuckham> Dr Willis: the hot keys on the keyboard work, but not the letter keys or numbers
[12:09] <Dr_Willis> yes it dident work? or yes it did work?
[12:10] <Dr_Willis> it pays to be verbose and concise on irc.
[12:10] <prince_jammys> what about accessing a terminal through the menu?
[12:10] <sillyubuntunoobn> yes, those command did not work, nothing happend
[12:10] <prince_jammys> or just ctrl-alt-f2 and leave the GUI altogether
[12:10] <sillyubuntunoobn> i'm sorry i'm so stupid...
[12:10] <prince_jammys> (with a plan)
[12:10] <Dr_Willis> sillyubuntunoobn:  it did pop up and ask for a root password?
[12:11] <gidna> Hi
[12:11] <Dr_Willis> actually the sudo password.
[12:11] <sillyubuntunoobn> no dr_
[12:11] <gidna> I've just bought a USB wifi adaptor. How can I configure it?
[12:11] <Dr_Willis> sillyubuntunoobn:  gksudo may not like the  home being -x
[12:11] <sillyubuntunoobn> apparantly you -x /home and it locks down everything but what is currently open...
[12:12] <Dr_Willis> sillyubuntunoobn:  lets see.. i just tried it :)
[12:12] <sillyubuntunoobn> even commands in term
[12:12] <sillyubuntunoobn> nooo
[12:12] <sillyubuntunoobn> noo
[12:12] <sillyubuntunoobn> dude
[12:12] <FloodBot1> sillyubuntunoobn: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:12] <Dr_Willis> sillyubuntunoobn:  i can still run xterm even with /home being -x
[12:12] <sillyubuntunoobn> =c
[12:12] <prince_jammys> sillyubuntunoobn: try ctrl-alt-f2 to get out of the gnome session, and see if you can log in to a tty and type the command you need.
[12:12] <Dr_Willis> gksudo dosent work however
[12:13] <sillyubuntunoobn> then something other then  my chmodding made things fail?
[12:13] <prince_jammys> sillyubuntunoobn: (ctrl-alt-f7 to return)
[12:13] <Dr_Willis> sillyubuntunoobn:  so ive no idea why 'alt-f1 gnome-terminal' is not working for you
[12:14] <sillyubuntunoobn> prince! that worked
[12:14] <prince_jammys> good
[12:15] <sillyubuntunoobn> xUx
[12:15] <prince_jammys> sillyubuntunoobn: you were able to change whatever permissions you had to change?
[12:15] <sillyubuntunoobn> yes sir/mam
[12:15] <wizard_2010> help with requires installation of untrusted packages when using software software centre please help
[12:15] <prince_jammys> sillyubuntunoobn: can you get an xterm now/
[12:15] <prince_jammys> ?
[12:15] <sillyubuntunoobn> yes thats what makes me think it is corrected now
[12:16] <Dr_Willis>  sudo chmod +x /home
[12:16] <Dr_Willis>  sudo chmod +x /home/YOURUSERNAME   (just in case)
[12:16] <Dr_Willis> so running 'gnome-terminal' now works?
[12:16] <noir_lord> what is the "correct" way to disable the nvidia binary driver and go back to the nouvea driver?
[12:17] <wizard_2010> help with requires installation of untrusted packages when using software software centre please help
[12:17] <Dr_Willis> noir_lord:  remove it? or use the disable option in the hardware-drivers program. I never wanted to go back...
[12:17] <prince_jammys> sillyubuntunoobn: i did this the first day i installed linux.
[12:17] <Dr_Willis> wizard_2010:  what packages are you refering to?
[12:17] <noir_lord> Dr_Willis, I don't really use 3D stuff on most of my linux boxes and on this one the nouvea driver feels considerably more snappy than the binary driver
[12:18] <brontosaurusrex> how would one go around 'fix broken packages first' ?
[12:18] <Optikn3rv> hmm cant find xorg.conf and i need to set shmconfig  true to get touchpad options running
[12:18] <wizard_2010> flashplugin-installer nspluginwrapper
[12:18] <noir_lord> the lag in FF alone is irritating beyond belief
[12:18] <Dr_Willis> noir_lord:   it basically dident work at all for me on my nvidia systems.
[12:18] <wizard_2010> plus anyother package
[12:18] <Dr_Willis> noir_lord:  no issues with the  binary drivers at all here on my 4 nvidia machines.
[12:19] <Dr_Willis> wizard_2010:   just try it from the command line? sudp apt-get install flashplugin-installer
[12:19] <Dr_Willis> !info flashplugin-installer
[12:19] <sillyubuntunoobn> now i oh yea now to run dr_'s "script" hehe
[12:19] <noir_lord> on this machine (7600GT so oldish) it worked flawlessly, considerably better for 2D stuff than the binary driver
[12:19] <Dr_Willis> noir_lord:  i got a 5500, and a 8800, and somthing in my laptop.. :)
[12:20] <Dr_Willis> I use twinview so much  so im sticking with the binary driver for now.
[12:21] <noir_lord> shrugs, I looked into the issue a little, seems to be a common issue with FF and the nvidia binary drivers, annoying, the 3D accell is spot on but it falls down on basic (relatively) 2D acceleration
[12:21] <wizard_2010> yes it does work at the command line but still gives the error i just hit yes and it installs
[12:22] <wizard_2010> but I should be able to do it from the centre don't want to use the terminal all the time
[12:22] <wizard_2010> cheer
[12:22] <wizard_2010> cheers
[12:22] <anodesni> Why is ubuntu using so much more memory since previous versions? Are there new daemons in use?
[12:22] <hax0r> hello
[12:23] <hax0r> I have an issue with X
[12:23] <hax0r> I have a black screen at boot and i have a black too when I boot in recovery mode ..
[12:23] <hax0r> I try to launch ubuntu with a live cd and to modify xorg.conf but it doesn't work
[12:23] <hax0r> what can i do ?
[12:24] <alexx121> ki ha mai sditalinato una in posti particolari?
[12:25]  * Dr_Willis wonders how wizard_2010 could have 'lost' the gpg keys to  the multiverse repo...
[12:25] <Dr_Willis> I also wonder why the  Software Center dosent  have some way to retrive the keys or ask about them
[12:26] <sillyubuntunoobn> word it worx dr_ i had to mkdir ~\downloads but then didnt use it
[12:26] <Dr_Willis> sillyubuntunoobn:  ~/Downloads allready exists by default  I recall...
[12:26] <Dr_Willis> case senesitive.. rember?
[12:27] <gidna> How can I configure a usb adaptor?
[12:27] <sillyubuntunoobn> xD
[12:27] <sillyubuntunoobn> i will try
[12:27] <sillyubuntunoobn> the more i forget the more reminders i have xD
[12:28] <sillyubuntunoobn> and yes downloads exists but not in the newly created tremoulus directory..it's not really needed
[12:28] <sillyubuntunoobn> since i already had the files d/led
[12:29] <Dr_Willis> sillyubuntunoobn:  i put mine in /home/willis/Downloads - thats where Firefox saves things by default for me .
[12:30] <Dr_Willis> I thought that was the default for 10.04 or is it still default to use the silly 'Desktop' directory :)
[12:30] <gimmickless_> Desktop is still default
[12:30] <sillyubuntunoobn> cool... i probably won't need it...but i want something to overclock my pc..is there any software available for linux/ubuntu
[12:31] <Dr_Willis> sillyubuntunoobn:  its best to not even bother with overclocking
[12:31] <sillyubuntunoobn> i used setfsb and then rebooted to ubuntu, but thats not available to me and does not run in wine yet?
[12:32] <sillyubuntunoobn> yea i know, but i didnt install big fans and heatsinks for nothing
[12:32] <Dr_Willis> You proberly did... :)
[12:32] <sillyubuntunoobn> plus overclocking and boinc can be strenuous for the cpu/gpu
[12:32]  * gimmickless_ seconds Dr_Willis
[12:32] <sillyubuntunoobn> lol
[12:33] <Dr_Willis> I dont find much need for overclocking these days.. and overclocking a system you want to be 'stable' is sort of counter productive.
[12:33] <sillyubuntunoobn> its ffaster just cause it runs cooler tho
[12:33] <Dr_Willis> Stick it in the freezer? :)
[12:33] <sillyubuntunoobn> ahahaha
[12:33] <gimmickless_> diminishing returns. that's all I'm saying.
[12:33] <Dr_Willis> Ive seen MAJOR issues in some linux  disrtos/tests/jobs./tasks with overclocking.
[12:33] <sillyubuntunoobn> yea theres a point to o/cing where is does become unstable.. but i've been o/cing this pc for years.. and know it's stable settings well
[12:33] <rek> don't find asm/io.h
[12:33] <Dr_Willis> similer issues with windows.. but windows crashes so much. you dont notice the added crashing
[12:34] <suprengr> sorry about all the recent join/leave/join flood earlier today folks... been setting up xchat-gnome on both home and netbook. Cheers
[12:34] <gimmickless_> no worries supes
[12:34] <sillyubuntunoobn> yes, fortuneatly it lets me know what parts of the system cause the crashes
[12:35] <sillyubuntunoobn> ty super xD
[12:35] <Optikn3rv> right guys need help i cant find or edit xorg.com and need to set shmconfig true for my touchpad options to work
[12:35] <Dr_Willis> Optikn3rv:  i think that setting may no longer be valid in the xorg.conf
[12:35] <Dr_Willis> !shmconfig
[12:35] <sillyubuntunoobn> ok i'ma stop stress everyone out and go chill in tremolus xD
[12:35] <Dr_Willis> Optikn3rv:  with the changes to X/ubuntu/ i think it got moved somewhere else.
[12:35] <Dr_Willis> sillyubuntunoobn:  so you finally got it workiong?
[12:36] <sillyubuntunoobn> yes dr_ ty very much lets see if everything works and lets me register a name
[12:37] <Optikn3rv> cry i just installed gpoint but when i try to run touchpad get told to edit it for gsynaptics to work
[12:37] <ManDay> Is there any mathematics package which complements SAGE (which is a great program, by the way - especially because it uses python, imo) in the field of plotting (because that's where SAGE appears rather weak)
[12:37] <moody> started installing ubuntu on my PC and something went wrong hardware wise...computer won't turn on!  the light on the power source turns on, then right back off, then nothing.  after this, i have to unplug it and plug it back in to get the same result... but still won't start up.  did my power source blow, or did my motherboard fry?
[12:37] <ManDay> moody, that sounds bad
[12:37] <sillyubuntunoobn> o/cing opens up a can of wupaz on multi-tasking too xD unless it crashes of course
[12:37] <moody> ManDay, yeah... its definitely not good!  lol
[12:37] <ManDay> If its really THAT bad and nothing wont turn on moody I suggest you first reset the bios
[12:38] <panda_17> Has someone installed ms office 2010 ?
[12:38] <moody> ManDay, by pulling the CMOS bat?
[12:38] <Optikn3rv> moody try unplugging the psu from the pc and then earth the pc to a radiator pipe or so then re plug psu in
[12:38] <ManDay> Or jumping accordingly - depends on your mobo
[12:38] <ManDay> moody,
[12:38] <sebsebseb> panda_17: Office 2007 works well under Wine apparantly
[12:38] <sebsebseb> well not Outlook I guess like 2003
[12:38] <sillyubuntunoobn> unplug the ps turn it on..plug it in
[12:38] <Dr_Willis> sillyubuntunoobn:  register a name? i just set my name.. dident ahve to register anytying
[12:38] <ManDay> Try Optikn3rv suggestion first moody  -
[12:39] <sebsebseb> panda_17: Open Office, KOffice, Abiword, and Gnumeric a spreadsheet app,  all great alternatives.  Also you can run that Office 2010 Web apps in Ubuntu.
[12:39] <sillyubuntunoobn> hitting the switch while it's on will discharge the ciruit
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> Optikn3rv:  a lot of the old docs/programs are pointing people to the wrong places to enable shmconfig i recall..
[12:39] <moody> ManDay, Optikn3rv, thanks for the suggestions... will try tonight.  If these suggestions don't work, would you say its the power source or the mobo?
[12:39] <sillyubuntunoobn> while it's upplugged
[12:39] <ManDay> moody, thats impossible to determine from the info you gave
[12:39] <Optikn3rv> if the earthing dont work do a bios reset
[12:39] <ManDay> I'd say the mobo tho
[12:39] <ManDay> because its more fragile
[12:39] <sebsebseb> !appdb | panda_17
[12:40] <moody> ManDay, Optikn3rv, roger that.  thanks guys.
[12:40] <ManDay> good luck
[12:40] <Dr_Willis> Optikn3rv:  checking the forums  this thread seems good about touchpads ---> http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1401645&highlight=shmconfig+enable
[12:40] <Optikn3rv> Dr_Willis i though gpoint was the new replacement for gsynaptics?
[12:40] <Optikn3rv> will have a read thnx
[12:40] <Dr_Willis> Optikn3rv:  no idea. i rarely use my touchpad on my  machines
[12:41] <panda_17>  sebsebseb: yes they are good softwares but they can not open some docx files :(
[12:41] <sebsebseb> panda_17: Dox is a horrible file format,  Microsoft only made it, since they coudn't  have an open standard as the default file format, ODF  Open Document Format
[12:42] <sebsebseb> panda_17: anyway that Micrsooft Office web apps,  can open the files you have problems with I guess
[12:42] <sebsebseb> panda_17: theres a free online cut down version of Office 2010
[12:43] <tdn> Is pulseaudio installed by default? I heard it was... But I see that the package 'pulseaudio' is not installed in Kubuntu 10.04. Why is that?
[12:43] <sebsebseb> tdn: luckily Kubuntu does not use Pulseaudio by default, unlike Ubuntu since 8.04, and so yeah quite a few sound problems since 8.04.
[12:45] <tdn> sebsebseb, ok. So can I use pulseaudio in Kubuntu 10.04 if I want to? I would like to do this: http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/FAQ#HowcanIusePulseAudiotostreammusicfrommymainPCtomyLANwithmultiplePCswithspeakers
[12:45] <panda_17>  sebsebseb: docx has osme porblems but it can save the files smaller than odt files. try it save as a file as odt and docx. and see please.
[12:46] <sebsebseb> tdn: Yes pulseaudio can also be used in Kubuntu, but I don't know how, try #kubuntu
[12:46] <Incarnation> Linux is AWESOME.
[12:46] <Da_Wrecka> Hi. I've got an Acer Aspire One running UNE 10.04; I'm trying to find out what programs are responsible for automounting the media in the two SD readers, and then find out how to revise the mount options, so I can add the noatime and nodiratime options. My research seems to be pointing to udisks but I can't find ANYTHING on how to configure it, at all.
[12:46] <moody> Incarnation, yessir
[12:46] <Da_Wrecka> The manpages are totally unhelpful in this regard. Does anyone have any insight?
[12:47] <sebsebseb> panda_17: maybe so, but its a closed propritary file format,  and so you can't quarrantee that in say 10 years from now, that you will be able to open it up still without problems,  thats one reason why loads of goverment organisations for various counteries, are starting to use Open Document Format,  and making it the standard in their offices even
[12:47] <Incarnation> I have a virtualbox winXP set up and I'm trying to print a word document after installing the correct drivers
[12:47] <Incarnation> but I don't believe virtualbox is allowing the hardware to interface with the virtualization correctly
[12:47] <gidna> How can I install the usb adaptor?
[12:47] <sebsebseb> panda_17: also theres a Microsoft Office Document viewer thats free
[12:48] <gidna> It is a Edimax EW-7711UAn
[12:48] <sebsebseb> panda_17: I guess theres one that can do Docx as well
[12:48] <sebsebseb> panda_17: I did one in Wine or whatever before, and it worked well
[12:48] <sebsebseb> Incarnation: you don't need Virtualbox Windows XP, for word documents
[12:49] <mvk> i just bought a Intel x25-m 80gb SSD drive , inserted my ubuntu install disk... and installed it
[12:49] <sebsebseb> Incarnation: also  maybe it depends on which version of Virtualbox you have,  open source or closed source, if you can print or not from it
[12:49] <sebsebseb> Incarnation: well the open source version doesn't have USB support for example
[12:49] <mvk> did i make a mistake? > i choosen, format & install on whole drive
[12:50] <panda_17> sebsebseb: ok. thansk i will try it.
[12:50] <Incarnation> Okay? I don't fully understand what you mean by ... not needing VirtualBox Windows XP
[12:50] <Incarnation> I'm running VirtualBox for Ubuntu
[12:50] <sebsebseb> Incarnation: yes, but for a word document?
[12:51] <Incarnation> I have created a virtualization of Windows XP via VirtualBox
[12:51] <sebsebseb> Incarnation: there are loads of ways that you can open up Word Documents inside Linux distros
[12:51] <Incarnation> Yes but to get them to print with my particular printer?
[12:51] <Incarnation> That is why I opted for the.. WOW that's annoying.
[12:51] <sebsebseb> Incarnation: uhmm
[12:52] <sebsebseb> Incarnation: if the printer doesn't work on the host OS, maybe it won't with a virtual machine either
[12:52] <Incarnation> sebsebseb: that is why I opted for attempting to print via WinXP Guest
[12:52] <Incarnation> Maybe
[12:52] <sebsebseb> Incarnation: well depends, sometimes you can use a vm to get round hardware issues
[12:52] <sebsebseb> !cups | Incarnation
[12:53] <sebsebseb> Incarnation: also your printer is USB yeah?
[12:53] <sebsebseb> Incarnation: Did you install the virtualbox-ose from the repo, or did you get the other version from their site/server ?
[12:53] <sebsebseb> Incarnation: The one in the Ubuntu repo does not have USB support
[12:54] <Incarnation> No it is connected via a Serial port
[12:54] <Incarnation> I installed virtualbox from the repository
[12:54] <sebsebseb> Incarnation: Which printer do you have?
[12:54] <sebsebseb> Incarnation: Old or new? How old?
[12:55] <sebsebseb> Incarnation: Anyway you can probably get it configured and working in Ubuntu.
[12:55] <Incarnation> It is an Epson Stylus Color 880
[12:55] <Incarnation> Rather old!
[12:55] <Incarnation> But probably more functional than a pricey clunker I could buy today...
[12:55]  * Dr_Willis looks at his 15 yr old HP 6L
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> and his newer $100 brother laser printer. :)
[12:56] <sebsebseb> Incarnation: Linux distros tend to have great hardware support, but they won't support  all PC hardware,  so yeah cups,  and maybe the manufacture even has a Linux driver for it or something, but thats pretty unlikely I guess.
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> theres a lot of extra packages for printer drivers for cups in the repos.
[12:56] <sebsebseb> Dr_Willis: oh
[12:57] <sebsebseb> Dr_Willis: and yeah I thought that you could probably help Incarnation so go a head
[12:57] <Dr_Willis> i had to install somthing for my new printer.. but i THINK the gnome-cups config tool did that automatically for me.
[12:57] <Dr_Willis> so it was 'printer detected.. install stuff? Ok.. enter sudo password.... done.'
[12:57] <Incarnation> okay
[12:57] <Incarnation> I will have to sort this out later, I'm pressed for time
[12:57] <Dr_Willis> I found the cups web interface a little smarter to use also
[12:58] <Incarnation> I'll configure CUPS later
[12:58] <wiehan> Hi. Using 10.04 Netbook edition. Touch screen netbook with tablet (swivel) display. If I rotate my screen orientation (e.g. upside down) though, the touch screen calibration is "inversed"/completely wrong. Can this be fixed? This is quite an important feature which did work in 9.10.
[12:59] <black_knight> hello there i neeeeeeeeeed a real help with my ubuntu :D anyone can help
[12:59] <sebsebseb> !ask | black_knight
[12:59] <Incarnation> BBL
[13:00] <sebsebseb> wiehan: Newer is not always better!
[13:00] <Dilip> hi
[13:00] <wiehan> sebsebseb: Well, yes, but 10.04 is really nice
[13:00] <wiehan> sebsebseb: and fast
[13:00] <sebsebseb> wiehan: 10.10 it seems will be quite a lot better, when it comes to the netbook version
[13:01] <colorlessprism> sebsebseb, i agree
[13:01] <sebsebseb> and it will probably suck really when it comes to the desktop version :D
[13:01] <colorlessprism> lol
[13:01] <wiehan> Mxit protocol on empathy in 10.04 does not connect, any one managed to get this working?
[13:01] <black_knight> :D ok now i did everything with my wireless ndiswrapper thing and it seems that it diiiiid wooork :D finally but the problem is the nxt time i did open my ubuntu when iam trying 2 get onnect to the wireless the whole thig freeze nothing works no caps lock no live in it so i have 2 reboot it ?? any ideas ??
[13:02] <sebsebseb> colorlessprism: well from what I know  about the future,   I am thinking I might keep the other computer on 10.04 and not bother with 10.10,  but its to early to know for sure yet.
[13:03] <Optikn3rv> right found a conf file 10-synaptic.conf but i cant seem to add a line with gedit?
[13:03] <Optikn3rv> any idea
[13:03] <vinicius_> i just download updates on lucid and now the only thing that happens after login is to appear a terminal window (i just started xchat from command line there)
[13:03] <wiehan> Optikn3rv:  think you need to gksudo gedit to edit those files
[13:03] <colorlessprism> sebsebseb, it is really early but i do enjoy the netbook version on my netbook. the wifes desktop will probably stay on lynx
[13:04] <vinicius_> if i run another thing i cant alternate between tabs
[13:04] <vinicius_> any help?
[13:04] <black_knight> hello
[13:04] <colorlessprism> sebsebseb, she needs an incredibly stable enviroment so when i do change her over, i have to to extensive testing
[13:04] <colorlessprism> vinicius_, what other thing?
[13:05] <vinicius_> colorlessprism, firefox, nautilus
[13:05] <vinicius_> colorlessprism, i'm pretty sure xorg server was updated
[13:06] <colorlessprism> vinicius_, can you change ttys CTRL+ALT+F2
[13:06] <sebsebseb> colorlessprism: we are off topic, lets continue a bit in pm :)
[13:06] <vinicius_> colorlessprism, and then?
[13:06] <Dilip> hey tell me how to use an irc to the best
[13:06] <LjL> Dilip: have you tried /quit? it's good.
[13:07] <colorlessprism> vinicius_, try and start another program perhaps switching ttys will work
[13:07] <Dilip> yah this is my first time
[13:08] <vinicius_> colorlessprism, i can work fine in ttys, but nautilus doesn't start, menus, windows, desktop, etc. that's the problem
[13:08] <wiehan> mxit on empathy not working, anyone can help?
[13:09] <vinicius_> colorlessprism, after login, i get a terminal at the left side, nothing else
[13:10] <colorlessprism> one application at a time i guess then
[13:10] <wiehan> vinicius_: typse startx
[13:11] <vinicius_> wiehan, x is started, but window management system dont, i think that's the problem
[13:13] <wiehan> vinicius_: mmh.. Try to reconfigure X? It sounds serious, more like a gnome issue? Don't know..
[13:13] <vinicius_> wiehan, i tried dpkg-reconfigure, but nothing changed
[13:14] <dli> vinicius_, sometimes it's a broken video driver, check for errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log, and dmesg
[13:14] <Dilip> ads
[13:14] <Bragex9> I can no longer connect to my ubuntu pc from my windows xp pc. It used to work just fine, but now it is totally messed up. I think it happened after upgrading to lucid lynx. I have tried to reinstall samba, but it did not work. Maybe it is the smb.conf that is wrong, but I am not sure how to edit it. Any quick guide that can help fix this?

[13:21] <moody> ManDay, you still around?
[13:21] <ManDay> moody, yes
[13:21] <ManDay> Tried it?
[13:22] <moody> ManDay, no, i'm at work... i'm gonna try it tonight.  but i was just looking back over what you guys recommended, and i'm not quite sure what you mean by "earthing" the pc... was hoping you could elaborate a bit. and i don't think i have a radiator pipe in my home...
[13:22] <phlak_user> hi
[13:23] <ManDay> connect the casing with the group of your power socket or whatever group you have
[13:23] <ManDay> moody
[13:23] <ManDay> what country are you based in?
[13:23] <moody> ManDay, US
[13:23] <ManDay> hm, dunno what your sockets look like but you too should have a ground.
[13:24] <ManDay> you can take anything that is a big conducting piece of metal
[13:24] <ManDay> but the ground of your power socket will always work - if you have nothing else
[13:24] <ManDay> after all, you can also leave your box untouched for a week and it will discharge on its own through the air which surrounds it
[13:25] <ManDay> usually, the case should be grounded over the PSU
[13:25] <phlak_user> ManDay: otr through your body when you touch it?
[13:25] <moody> ManDay, oh, in that case, it may already be earthed... i haven't touched it in about two weeks.  ever since i had the problem, i've been using strictly my laptop
[13:25] <philipworrall> can someone help, when i boot up with the 10.04 cd in i get a purple screen with a man in a circle and an equals sign. ive not got to the grub menu yet.
[13:26] <ManDay> phlak_user, yes but you could also charge it even more if you are statically charged :P
[13:26] <ManDay> therefore metal is always the best choice
[13:26] <ManDay> moody, well then its unessesary
[13:26] <moody> ManDay, so I should just try resetting the BIOS?
[13:27] <ManDay> moody, thats the first thing I would do yes - do you have an alternative PSU at home?
[13:27] <zubin71> hi im trying to burn the ubuntu iso using brasero; how could i make it bootable?
[13:27] <moody> ManDay, nope, i was gonna buy one if all else failed... i'm on a pretty limited budget right now :)
[13:27] <zubin71> is it done by itself?
[13:28] <zubin71> or do i have to opt for making it bootable?
[13:28] <yoyoned> !iso|zubin71
[13:28] <vinicius_> dli, i checked, there's no xorg.conf anymore o_O
[13:28] <yoyoned> !burn
[13:28] <ManDay> moody, well if resetting the bios wont help it (which i assume it doesnt) i suggest you get a new PSU (or just borrow one to try it out)
[13:29] <moody> ManDay, ok, thanks again for the help :)  will try your suggestions tonight
[13:29] <zubin71> yoyoned, oh no. what i meant is id like to use the burned dvd bootable. do i have to just write it to the cd?
[13:29] <yoyoned> zubin71: yes. the image is already bootable
[13:30] <ManDay> moody, yw
[13:30] <WierdAAR> Hello..  I tried the GUI settings but no luck
