[00:00] <Kelder> to create bootable usb's with several distro's search for unetbootin
[00:01] <amitmali> After i had installed ubuntu "inside windows" , when rebooted it apears initramfs and it stopped
[00:01] <edbian> amitmali: Using wubi?
[00:02] <amitmali> yes
[00:02] <vishal> Hey guys, I am trying to configure OpenSSL on Ubuntu
[00:02] <vishal> can I get some help?
[00:02] <meisterlumpi> ask away
[00:03] <Kelder> its fairly hard to find people who support wubi because not many use it in a day-to-day situation, dual boot is preferable
[00:03] <vishal> well...have you encountered this
[00:03] <erUSUL> vishal: OpenSSL is a library it needs little if any configuration
[00:03] <vishal> Verify return code: 21 (unable to verify the first certificate)
[00:03] <Berzerker> kaddi, and refreshing the netbook-launcher made it keep changes, worked like a charm.
[00:04] <meisterlumpi> vishal: are you client or server?
[00:04] <vishal> meisterlumpi : client
[00:04] <kaddi> :=
[00:04] <kaddi> :)
[00:04] <vishal> and I started the server using, openssl s_Server
[00:05] <silent> Hi, I'm having trouble using a rtl8187b wireless card.  My connections changes constantly
[00:05] <meisterlumpi> vishal: what kind of authentication?
[00:05] <vishal> well...I created a PEM file n my own
[00:05] <vishal> on*
[00:05] <vishal> using openssl man pages
[00:05] <raden_work> anyone here a former opensuse user ?
[00:05] <DoomHack2009> code a resistance 2
[00:06] <tferrell> hey - i've got issues with ubuntu recognizing my internet adapters (wired & wireless) if anyone could extend a hand
[00:06] <vishal> meisterlumpi : any pointers?
[00:06] <meisterlumpi> vishal: do you have a key file to log into the server or user and pass?
[00:07] <vishal> I generated a key as well...
[00:07] <vishal> meisterlumpi : I generated a key as well
[00:07] <Pilou> hello everybody !!
[00:07] <vishal> and then merged the key and certificate into the pem file
[00:08] <vishal> meisterlumpi :  and I generated the key and certificate both using the openssl utility
[00:08] <h4ro> Hello?
[00:08] <meisterlumpi>  /msg vishal (private chat?)
[00:08] <vishal> freat
[00:08] <tferrell> anyone willing to help with ethernet problems?
[00:08] <vishal> meisterlumpi : great
[00:09] <h4ro> I'm using xchat, it doesn't seem very well though, or maybe it's because I messed up my graphics.
[00:09] <h4ro> What are you guys using?
[00:09] <fbianconi> h4ro: pidgin
[00:10] <tferrell> please, anyone?
[00:10] <h4ro> You sure? :\
[00:10] <ewsubach> irssi: it's terminal based
[00:10] <dsnyders> Hi all!  My desktop is missing.  No icons, no menus, just a background screen and a mouse pointer.  xfix was of no help
[00:10] <h4ro> I see.
[00:10] <h4ro> BRB.
[00:11] <silent> tferrell, what kind of problem?
[00:11] <edbian> dsnyders: Did you get any error messages when starting nautilus?
[00:11] <dsnyders> edbian, No, where would I find any error messages
[00:12] <Berzerker> kaddi, I have another problem
[00:12] <Berzerker> when I try to download something, I get a box with an error in it.
[00:12] <edbian> dsnyders: You might wanna check the output (especially near the end) of "dmesg"
[00:12] <piece> Hi! I just tried to run some javafx examples but all i can see is the java logo...whats wrong?
[00:12] <kaddi> what does it say
[00:12] <edbian> dsnyders: PM me
[00:12] <tferrell> i've got a wireless adapter (dynex) and a lan adapater (linksys) and neither of them are appearing in my virgin ubuntu install
[00:13] <ewsubach> anyone know of a good free usenet reader?
[00:13] <Berzerker> kaddi, XML Parsing Error: undefined entity
[00:13] <Berzerker> Location: chrome://mozapps/content/downloads/unknownContentType.xul
[00:13] <Berzerker> Line Number 55, Column 7:
[00:13] <Berzerker> sorry, for multi-line
[00:13] <FloodBot1> Berzerker: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:13] <silent> tferrell, have you tried running lsusb?
[00:14] <kaddi> Berzerker and you get that message when you try to download something, not at startup?
[00:14] <Berzerker> kaddi, yes when I try to download something
[00:16] <kaddi> Berzerker close the window you have opened, open a terminal and type firefox-3.5 -safe-mode this will start FF in safe-mode, test if you get the same problem still
[00:17] <crankharder> is anyone familiar with setting up a daapd server? (firefly) -- Rhythmbox and itunes don't recognize it automagically -- any ideas?
[00:17] <Berzerker> figured out the problem
[00:17] <kaddi> ok :)
[00:17] <kaddi> what was it?
[00:17] <Berzerker> kaddi, it's the merkeet addon
[00:17] <Berzerker> kaddi, wasn't fully compatable with 3.5.2, even though it would say it is
[00:18] <kaddi> Berzerker good to know.  safemode will start FF with all addons  disabled, so you can quickly know if one of the addons is at fault. :)
[00:18] <kaddi> just as an info
[00:19] <hoban> hello everyone. What is the ubuntu equivalent to the "/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d" directory found on other distros? (place scripts there and they run upon login)
[00:19] <hoban> (system-wide...not the user's ~/.xinitrc)
[00:19] <Berzerker> kaddi, yeah, btw, is there a way to add a shortcut to paste in terminal?
[00:20] <ewsubach> hoban: you mean /etc/rcX/ ? place scripts in there to run. where X is the runlevel
[00:20] <ewsubach> i mean rcX.d
[00:20] <Zappo> Hi
[00:20] <silent> Hi, what causes an invalid module format?
[00:20] <kaddi> Berzerker how do you mean? alt+f2 can be used to run comands, but not sure this is what you are looking for?
[00:20] <hoban> ewsubach, no, those are symlinks to init scripts. I'm looking to run scripts when the user logs in to the GUI only
[00:20] <prince_jammys> hoban: if you use gdm as your login manager, you may add scripts to that.
[00:21] <hoban> prince_jammys, right, is there a more generic location? so if gdm is being used, or kdm, the scripts will still run?
[00:21] <openback> I have a widescreen laptop (Dell Inspiron 710m with Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME) that was automatically  set at  1280x800 forever, and just recently, I'm stuck in 4:3 for some reason. My gdm is in the proper  resolution and  not my desktop. If I attempt to change my res, the display is squashed. Any idea how to fix this?
[00:21] <guest_> my audio disc is stuck in my drive...Help?
[00:21] <edbian> guest_: go to Places -> Computer.  Right click the drive and "eject"
[00:21] <clusty> hey
[00:21] <ewsubach> guest_: physically stuck, like jammed?
[00:22] <clusty> what is the name of the proggie that does the gnome user management ?
[00:22] <guest_> edbian thanks trying it
[00:22] <ewsubach> clusty: users-admin
[00:22] <prince_jammys> hoban: i'm sure there is a more generic solution, but i'd have to research it. man Xorg does mention xinit. check it out.
[00:23] <clusty> ewsubach, thanks
[00:23] <Berzerker> kaddi, like if I see a command I need to execute on firefox, and I need to run it in terminal, I can't ctrl+c and ctrl+v
[00:23] <prince_jammys> hoban: the login process is pretty darn complex with gui login managers and what not.
[00:23] <guest_> edbian nothing happened
[00:23] <openback> Berzerker: paste in the terminal is Shift+Insert
[00:24] <hoban> prince_jammys, yeah, that's why I'm looking for the ubuntu equivalent to the old mechanism that works on RHEL/SLES that I'm used to
[00:24] <kaddi> Berzerker you can just highlight the text you need and then use the middle mouse-button or click the left and the right button similtaneously to insert the text as well
[00:24] <prince_jammys> hoban: xinit also has its own man page. the question is in what order things happen, and whether it's even considered when people use login managers.
[00:24] <nanotube> hoban: there is a /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc  give it a look
[00:24] <edbian> guest_: Try unmounting (again right clicking) then ejecting, or pressing the physical button on the drive.  Mix and max.  Try all the variations :)
[00:24] <hoban> prince_jammys, thanks
[00:24] <hoban> nanotube, I'll go have a look. Thanks!
[00:25] <guest_> edbian trying
[00:25] <nanotube> hoban: also /etc/X11/Xsession
[00:25] <Berzerker> openback, and how about select all
[00:25] <ewsubach> guest_: does it say it's still in use? if so, you have to stop the progam that's accessing it
[00:25] <nanotube> hoban: good luck :)
[00:25] <mykola> hey guys. I have this problem in Ubuntu, CentOS, and FreeBSD and would like to know if you've run into it. If I don't run Xserver then everything acts ok. If I run Xserver, it acts great BUT if I use control+alt+F keys to switch to a tty, then It starts flashing spastically (white then black at around 10 Hz)
[00:25] <edbian> guest_: Other than that IDK why it would be stuck unless the drive is broken.
[00:25] <openback> Berzerker: oooo, that I don't know!
[00:25] <mykola> the problem persists until i go back to the GUI, and then switch back again to the terminal
[00:25] <prince_jammys> hoban: Xsession looks promising. I know that a user's .xsessionrc gets run on login through a login manager.
[00:25] <Berzerker> openback, doesn't exist as an option to set in the keyboard shortcut menu?
[00:26] <guest_> edbian cannot find app accessing disc will top tell mee?
[00:26] <mykola> it's not a really great problem, but if i don't use the tty in a session, then shut down the computer, it will flash like crazy for 4-5 seconds which is quite irritating
[00:26] <edbian> guest_: Top is a good place to look
[00:26] <mykola> anyone seen this?
[00:26] <hoban> prince_jammys, good deal, I'll have a look now. thanks
[00:26] <openback> Berzerker: specific to gnome-terminal? Not that I see
[00:26] <nanotube> Berzerker: there are two paste buffers in x. one of them is ctl-c ctl-v, the other is select (selecting text autocopies) and shift-ins (to paste)
[00:27] <jedc> mykola, i never have
[00:27] <nanotube> Berzerker: so i'm guessing for select and paste into gnome-terminal, you're looking for shift-ins
[00:27] <Berzerker> nanotube, yeah, found it as shift+ctrl+v
[00:27] <mykola> nanotube: you can also highlight + middle click
[00:27] <mrwes> Berzerker, you can drag and drop on to the terminal window too
[00:27] <mykola> nanotube: or if you emulate a 3 button mouse, press both mouse buttons
[00:28] <nanotube> Berzerker: yea, shft-ctl-v is the same as shift-ins.
[00:28] <nanotube> mykola: yea, i know, that's actually what i use most of the time :) but he was asking for kb shortcuts...
[00:28] <mykola> nanotube: aah, i missed that part. cheers :)
[00:28] <openback> gah, my X is a bastard
[00:28] <mykola> lol
[00:28] <mykola> where have we heard that before?
[00:29] <openback> hey hey, X, not ex!
[00:29] <guest_> edbian could it be panel?
[00:30] <edbian> guest_: I doubt it.
[00:30] <mykola> openback: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg or Xorg --configure?
[00:30] <nanotube> mykola: :)
[00:30] <guest_> oh
[00:30] <emil111> Hello, I'm new to ubuntu and I have a question about running from a live CD
[00:30] <nanotube> emil111: go ahead
[00:30] <pharsalus> Fire away
[00:30] <emil111> I'm running from my live CD now and inside the laptop is a 2,5'' hard drive..   can I just take it out while the pc is on, since ubuntu isn't running on it?  do I have to unmount it first?
[00:31] <mykola> emil111, that's a bad idea
[00:31] <openback> mykola: would that do anything other than generate a new xorg.conf?
[00:31] <nanotube> emil111: look to see what's mounted, using command "mount"
[00:31] <emil111> thanks ill check
[00:31] <nanotube> if the hd is not listed as mounted, then theoretically, yes, you can take it out with no ill effects.
[00:31] <guest_> edbian can i kill it with xkill ?
[00:31] <nanotube> emil111: ^
[00:31] <mykola> openback: nope. xserver either uses default options or what's in the xorg.conf file. there is no other way
[00:31] <openback> mykola: I did try the dpkg-reconfige btw
[00:32] <stinky> hello I just installed a new nvidia 9600 GSO grahics card and my intel card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: ALC888 Digital [ALC888 Digital] Stopped working.
[00:32] <fbianconi> guest_: check if it works with 'sudo eject' if it does then fix your permissions and groups
[00:32] <openback> mykola: My xorg.conf is the default, simplest one. No edits, no specifics.
[00:32] <mykola> openback: what exactly is the issue?
[00:32] <edbian> guest_: either "kill <pid>" or "killall <programName>
[00:32] <emil111> mount gave me 25 lines of output,  at least 3 of them I know refer to partitions of this HD I'm talking about
[00:32] <mykola> openback: hehe... you may be able to get rid of the entire file! :D
[00:32] <Tinned_Tuna> heya,  quick dhclient question: I'm trying to make my client machine take an IP of <IP_ADDRESS>, but it's always getting <IP_ADDRESS>, and keeps on putting DHCREQUEST of 172 ... out
[00:32] <nanotube> emil111: then you better umount anything that looks like a harddrive. :)
[00:32] <mykola> openback: but seriously... what is broken?
[00:33] <nanotube> emil111: pastebin your output
[00:33] <guest_> fbianconi edbian trying sudo eject
[00:33] <mykola> emil111: why are we trying to take the live CD out again?
[00:33] <nanotube> emil111: but question - is there a really good reason why you don't just shut down, take out the hd, then boot again? that would be... easier :)
[00:33] <emil111> what is pastebin?
[00:34] <edbian> !pastebin
[00:34] <openback> mykola: My laptop display is 1280x800. It was fine before, but after a restart, it's now a centered 1024x768 once I log in (gdm is still right). If I attempt to change the res to 1280x800 in Gnome, It's squashed and on the left side of the screen only.
[00:35] <mykola> openback: hmm... if it was working before try this.
[00:35] <mykola> openback: got a terminal open?
[00:35] <openback> mykola: yeah
[00:35] <emil111> sorry, I'm a bit slow
[00:35] <drwho> hi, does anyone know how I can go by changing the logical name of the wifi card?
[00:35] <guest_> fbianconi edbian can't set runas group vector: Operation not permitted
[00:35] <pleed_> hi
[00:35] <emil111> mykola: I'm not taking out the live CD, just the hard drive
[00:35] <drwho> I keep getting wmaster0
[00:36] <Tinned_Tuna> any one know where would be a good place to ask about dhclient issues; #dhclient was dead.
[00:36] <mykola> openback: first, sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /var/tmp/xorg.backup (or anywhere you want to keep it)
[00:36] <gverig> Anybody knows a decent book/site/text on linux internals? Not necessarily down to lines of code but on the level that looks at schedulers, kernel modules, kernel/user process space, etc.
[00:36] <drwho> and its suppoe to be wlan0
[00:36] <emil111> nanotube: the reason is it would be quicker,  and I want to know if I can do it without destroying anything.... for curiosity, for learning :)
[00:36] <openback> mykola: I'm not a total noob, so you can be abridged, lol
[00:36] <mykola> :D
[00:36] <pleed_> I m trying to backup a folder with rsync, i m using rsync -a src dest, but it destroys my owner and permissions. shouldnt preserve rsync that with the -a switch?
[00:36] <mykola> openback: ok then, delete your xorg.conf file and reboot :)
[00:37] <mykola> openback: just wanna see what the defaults do for you
[00:37] <guest_> where do i find documentation in Ububtu answered questions?
[00:37] <Berzerker> kaddi, also found a script that will change the branding of the browser to Mozilla Firefox and the logo of the application itself to the orange firefox
[00:37] <emil111> nanotube: more specifically, I'm chatting to peopel about hd's and want to check what mine is so I can google it, that's why I'd like to take it out without rebooting, if possible
[00:37] <emil111> the pastebin is here for my mount  http://paste.ubuntu.com/252821/
[00:38] <emil111> on the last few lines are /media/iomega and /media/disk  and a few others that are likely on that one
[00:38] <kiaas_> yay windows..can't find a device driver for a CD-ROM drive @.@
[00:38] <phoenixz> Could anybody PLEASE tell me that there is a normal alternative to openoffice? The package is beyond ... bad.. crashes every 5 minutes, makeup is impossible, NO compatability in word documents (yeah, they load, but from there on it stops) and I am fed up with deleting a character at the top of the page which causes the font of the text on the bottom of the page to change, and other nice "features" like that.. please please, is there an alternative? Im
[00:38] <phoenixz> desperate..
[00:38] <mykola> emil111: errm. i would not take components out of the computer like that while it's running. ever
[00:38] <clusty> how can I add myself to some group?
[00:38] <clusty> console preferably
[00:38] <mykola> emil111: although you COULD boot ubuntu back onto the laptop without a hard drive
[00:39] <openback> mykola: ahh, but mine is the default: http://pastebin.com/m301ad93d
[00:39] <mykola> openback: hmm... you're right
[00:39] <emil111> mykola: thanks for the advice. I'm not gonna do it with this one but I'll try it with an old one I have, to see
[00:39] <erUSUL> clusty: sudo adduser user group
[00:39] <slacker_nl> is there a way to find out which repo was used for a particular package?
[00:39] <clusty> erUSUL, user exists already
[00:40] <mykola> openback: xorg is a bit of a bitch, eh? :) there's another one you could do. lemme find the command
[00:40] <clusty> erUSUL, usermod -G g1,g2... ?
[00:40] <nanotube> emil111: from your output, looks like you'd just have to umount the 4 items that start with /dev/sda
[00:40] <clusty> usermod <myuser>*
[00:40] <mykola> openback: if you know about your hardware
[00:41] <emil111> nanotube: thanks for this advice, I'm gonna try it
[00:41] <mykola> openback: run "xorgconfig"
[00:41] <mykola> prolly with sudo powers
[00:41] <nanotube> emil111: be careful not to get electrocuted by any live wires. :)
[00:41] <emil111> nanotube: not on this one though, Ill do a similar experiment with another HD
[00:41] <mykola> openback: it will give you a step by step dialog which will help configure x
[00:41] <fbianconi> guest_ if you are the actual system administrator you have lost your permissions, check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[00:41] <emil111> nano: do you think it would be potentially damaging to the HDD in any way ?
[00:41] <nanotube> emil111: ok... same idea applies.
[00:41] <mykola> openback: or at least, it does on old linux systems. I've not tried it on a newer one yet
[00:42] <nanotube> emil111: if it is completely unmounted, then it should be fine.
[00:42] <emil111> nanotube: what about the other way around? If I start my laptop without a HD inside, boot Live,  run for a while and then decide to plug in a hard drive, would that be dangerous in any way for the drive ?
[00:42] <guest_> fbianconi thanks buddy cheers...later
[00:43] <mykola> emil111: rule of thumb. removing and inserting hardware into a computer while it's running (unless it is designed to be removable) doesn't really work well
[00:43] <pharsalus> Where is the .bash_profile file? It doesn't seem to be in my home folder...?
[00:43] <emil111> mykola: thanks
[00:43] <mykola> pharsalus: it's hidden. press control+h
[00:43] <nanotube> emil111: also should be ok, theoretically. but generally, mykola is right, if it can be avoided, it's better to avoid.
[00:43] <emil111> this hard ddrive was external on USB but stopped working yesterday that*s why I put it inside instead. probably the usb/IDe cable is broken in some way since I have no trouble using it inside
[00:44] <emil111> haven't been able to install an OS on it yet though,, that's part of this experiment
[00:44] <ewsubach> will installing debian packages in ubuntu work properly? or does it depend on individual packages?
[00:44] <mykola> emil111: lol. you're just asking for the safest advice. if you're not too worried about it, then experiment all you want and share with us :D
[00:44] <pharsalus> mykola, using bash and typing ls -a while in my home directory, and it's not turning up still.
[00:44] <elec> i have a secondary fakeraid (nvraid) media raid 1 array that i use in windows and would like to use in linux. if i dmraid -ay the array will it do anything to the data on it?
[00:44] <mykola> pharsalus: then you don't have one in your home drive. there is still /etc/bashrc for global settings
[00:45] <mykola> pharsalus: if you ever feel that you need one, just make one
[00:45] <emil111> mykola: judging from the replies I get in here,  I won't risk this HDD with that experiment, but I'm gonna try it on the other old one that I don't care about.  only problem the old one isn't here, so I can't do it until a few days
[00:45] <pharsalus> I'll do that, cheers mykola :)
[00:45] <emil111> I would tell you how it goes if I could get back to you later
[00:45] <elec> also whenever i install dmraid and reboot the system wont boot my 2.6.28-14 kern, i have to boot a previous kernel then uninstall dmraid
[00:45] <mykola> pharsalus: ^_^
[00:46] <fbianconi> guest_: after fixing sudo you need to fix your privileges in system/admininstration/users and groups
[00:46] <emil111> on to another question, does anyone have experience in Ethernet booting ubuntu?  I have googled an such but either get no good information or I don't understand it
[00:46] <mynyml> to make mplayer the default for video files, i really have to set it for every video file type? is there a simpler way?
[00:47] <nanotube> emil111: ok, good luck :) in general if it is unmounted it should be pretty safe - but if you value your drive and data, better to avoid, as mykola suggests.
[00:47] <mykola> dunno about that. but here's a really good website that installs debian on your (previously) windows box via network

[00:48] <chargrims> evening all
[00:48] <mazda01> whats the best and easiest to use lightweight desktop manager? i only have 256 of ram, i have tried LXDE, Icewm, XFCE4-session, and all have items in them that take up precious system resources like the panels. lxpanel takes up a lot, xfce4-panel has a memory leak and i don't like the file manager in icewm, any thoughts?
[00:48] <mrwes> mazda01, JWM
[00:48] <nanotube> mazda01: try openbox
[00:48] <chargrims> anyone able to assist me with a HDMI output that is not sending sound? I've been googling for hours!
[00:49] <mykola> mazda01: i love me some fluxbox. but evil is even more lightweight (openbox and fluxbox take similar resources and are both based on blackbox)
[00:49] <ewsubach> will installing debian packages in ubuntu work properly? or does it depend on individual packages?
[00:49] <nanotube> mazda01: or for a /really/ lightweight setup, try fvwm
[00:49] <mrwes> mazda01, http://joewing.net/programs/jwm/
[00:49] <mykola> mazda01: there's also afterstep, which is light
[00:49] <emil111> oh, the computer also cannot connect to internet
[00:49] <openback> mykola: sorry, got caught up. Hmmm...I guess I could try that...but its worked for over a year and I've never heard of this issue.
[00:49] <emil111> it's running winxp now but no cd drdive, no usb boot and no internet
[00:49] <mazda01> nanotube: openbox is used in LXDE, can i just use plain openbox? i am trying to find e17 but i can't find it in the repos?
[00:50] <emil111> I would make a boot image or a recovery partition on it if I knew how
[00:50] <mykola> openback: dunno what to say :(
[00:50] <openback> mykola: and the thing is, my gdm is at the proper resolution, so shouldn't that mean something else is doing it?
[00:50] <newser> hello, I have been having problems with the video player. When I try to play any file, it suddenly closes, and does not play any video file. I am using the standard video player. Anyone familiar with this problem?
[00:50] <mykola> mazda01: e16 is much lighter than e17, which is chock full of "features" like panels and animations ;)
[00:50] <emil111> newser: try LCV
[00:50] <mzz> openback: did you pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log somewhere?
[00:50] <emil111> VLC
[00:50] <blknite> does anyone know how to reset the sudoers file -- I have added myself to a group and now no sudo and (default) no root passwd....:(...It is a complexed raid setup so I do not want to reinstall if I can help it
[00:51] <newser> how can I set vlc to be my default video player?
[00:51] <openback> mzz: http://pastebin.com/m301ad93d
[00:51] <mazda01> will check out jwm, looks promising. thanks
[00:51] <openback> mzz: oh, log, sorry
[00:51] <mykola> openback: hmm... if gdm is right then yes, something else would be causing the rest of gnome to be off. unfortunately, i don't know what.  have you tried reinstalling all of gnome? :)
[00:51] <emil111> newser: I don't know how to do it for all files, but if you play a specific file you can right click and "open with" something, and then choose VLC for default
[00:51] <emil111> for that file type
[00:51] <emil111> someone else probably knows better
[00:52] <ian1990> i need to get sound drivers for my hp dv6
[00:52] <GPL> i've installed sendmail, it says the email is sent, but i cant find the email :(
[00:52] <ShapeShifter499> hi
[00:52] <ShapeShifter499> can someone help with vga/video card bios flashing?
[00:52] <ShapeShifter499> I just want the video card not the whole motherboard
[00:52] <mykola> blknite: have you accidentally removed yourself from the "wheel" group? if you have, just edit /etc/group and put yourself back
[00:53] <mazda01> mrwes: after i compile jwm, should it just show up in my wdm login manager as an option?
[00:53] <openback> mzz: http://pastebin.com/m54a70395
[00:53] <Twinkletoes> Logrotate question... is /etc/logrotate.d/ anything to do with the package "logrotate" or is it just used by sysklogd when rotating log files specified in syslog?
[00:53] <ian1990> i need to get sound drivers for my hp dv6
[00:53] <mrwes> mazda01, I believe it's in the repositories
[00:53] <mrwes> mazda01, no need to compile, then just choose that from your session at login time
[00:53] <openback> mykola: no, I didn't go that far
[00:53] <mazda01> also, which file manager is the lightest, i like pcmanfm but i can't figure out how to add more commands to the right click context menu
[00:54] <ShapeShifter499> well?
[00:54] <mykola> openback: :( i'm out of ideas
[00:54] <blknite> mykola: no root?
[00:54] <mykola> openback: if you have the hd space, see if it works in any other window manage
[00:54] <openback> mykola: :( thanks, though!
[00:54] <mykola> blknite: you need to be root to edit that file
[00:54] <mykola> blknite: aah... right.
[00:55] <mykola> blknite: fire up a recovery shell
[00:55] <mykola> blknite: we can give you CLI instructions if you like
[00:55] <blknite> mykola: Please
[00:55] <maddin> Hey there, I want to image my windwos partition with partimage, used a live cd to do that, but it would not do it, question: does the partition i save the image to have to be bigger than the than the imaged one, even if the compressed image would fit easily?
[00:55] <stinky> my sound quit working after installing Nvidia 9600 GSO. Is there some way to disable sound from going to the graphics card then to the DVI hdtv?
[00:55] <Berzerker> when pidgin tries to play a sound, it just makes popping noises and not the actual soudn.
[00:55] <hafiz> hello guys
[00:55] <stinky> I just want old intel sound to work again
[00:56] <mykola> blknite: allright. are you using the affected computer right now, or are you on another one?
[00:56] <hafiz> i cant connect to my wireless network. whenever i try to refresh. it doest show any wireless spot. but it works fine in vista
[00:56]  * ShapeShifter499 "heeelllooooo.................................." *echoes*
[00:56] <blknite> mykola: I'm on a good box..the other is next to me
[00:56] <mzz> openback: ok, can you pastebin the output of "xrandr --verbose" too?
[00:56] <hafiz> now im using Wicd, but the lan works perfectly
[00:56] <willzzz> ok guys i need some recommendations
[00:57] <willzzz> any solution for remote desktop which is faster than VNC over a 2Mbps WAN Link (from Office->Home)
[00:57] <openback> mykola: ahh, I just thought to make a new user, and that works fine in Gnome...what else messes with X?
[00:57] <mykola> blknite: great :) reboot and select the recovery option from grub when it comes up (you may have to hit escape)
[00:57] <mzz> openback: if I read the log right it detects a 1280x800 panel, so something else is interfering, most likely
[00:57] <stinky> if someone gets my sound working I will donate $25 to Ubuntu in your name 8)
[00:57] <ian1990> i need to get sound drivers for my hp dv6
[00:57] <guest_> fbianconi cannot access users groups through'sytem..."
[00:57] <mvsn> hello.. im wondering is there any way to broadcast the music played from ubuntu over the network so other workstations (linux/windows) can synchronize in and play through other speakers?
[00:57] <mykola> openback: O.o your new user works well?
[00:57] <willzzz> this is a VPN from Office-><Home, I need a solution which compresses data faster than the VNC... currently using embedded gnome-VNC and itś slow as molasses over the WAN link
[00:57] <openback> mykola: yup
[00:57] <mykola> openback: delete the .xinitrc from your old users home, maybe that was a problem?
[00:57] <ShapeShifter499> can someone help????
[00:57] <willzzz> i heard about NX, any users have experience?
[00:58] <hafiz> someone could help me with my wireless?
[00:58] <dsnyders> Hi all!  My desktop is missing.  No icons, no menus, just a background screen and a mouse pointer.  xfix was of no help
[00:58] <openback> mzz: did you see that? A new user created in Gnome has the resolution fine. Something in my account is affecting it somehow :'/
[00:58] <mykola> blknite: it should drop you into a simple root shell
[00:58] <chargrims> can anyone help with a HDMI connection which is not outputting sound?
[00:58] <mzz> openback: yeah, that makes sense. Does system -> preferences -> display let you correct it?
[00:58] <maddin> Hey there, I want to image my windwos partition with partimage, used a live cd to do that, but it would not do it, question: does the partition i save the image to have to be bigger than the than the imaged one, even if the compressed image would fit easily?
[00:58] <Berzerker> anyone heard of my problem?
[00:59] <openback> mzz: no, in my account the res will change, but the display is squeezed into the left-hand side of my screen.
[00:59] <mykola> openback: backup all of your personal data from your home directory
[00:59] <openback> mykola: I don't have an .xinitrc
[01:00] <mykola> openback: then delete that user and create a new one, same name :D
[01:00] <quickstart> hello all
[01:00] <mzz> openback: see earlier question about xrandr output then
[01:00] <stinky> hi quickstart
[01:00] <quickstart> how do you install realplayer on ppc anyone know how
[01:00] <quickstart> hey stinky how are you
[01:00] <openback> mzz: http://pastebin.com/mebf6741
[01:00] <mzz> mvsn: pulseaudio's website claims it can do that, and if you install "paprefs" you might be able to configure it using that. Can't walk you through that though.
[01:01] <stinky> my sound stopped working after installing a nvidia 9600 :(
[01:01] <mzz> openback: does "xrandr -s 1280x800" do the squeezing thing too?
[01:01] <bucky> that stinks
[01:01] <mykola> blknite: you still there? :)
[01:02] <openback> mzz: I'll try it
[01:02] <Tinned_Tuna> heya
[01:02] <blknite> mykola: yes...got a phone call...
[01:02] <Tinned_Tuna> if I want my networking to start on boot and bring my wireless interface up, what should I do?
[01:03] <Zappo> is Tcl installed by default?
[01:03] <stinky> If i dont have sound, then I have no music, if I have no music I will have to talk to my fat wife.... please help me :(
[01:03] <pharsalus> rofl!
[01:03] <mykola> blknite: k then :) when you are in the root shell, nano /etc/group
[01:03] <blknite> mykola: in the shell..THANK YOU!
[01:04] <maddin> Hey there, I want to image my windwos partition with partimage, used a live cd to do that, but it would not do it, question: does the partition i save the image to have to be bigger than the than the imaged one, even if the compressed image would fit easily?
[01:04] <shane2peru> hey everyone, working on a Gateway box, with driver problems, it has an intel 82845G I'm on hardy
[01:04] <pharsalus> Night all
[01:04] <openback> mzz: yeah, the display only took up about 7/8 of the width, also with some drawing errors
[01:04] <x3017x> there is nothing quite like reviving a dead ancient laptop with ubuntu mini
[01:04] <haf1z> guys, somebody could help me with my wireless not working at all? but the lan work perfectly?
[01:04] <shane2peru> the tty's have so large of font I can even see the whole screen, making it virtually impossible to work there
[01:05] <mykola> blknite, you got it from here? :D
[01:05] <mzz> openback: hmm, can you save that change anyway (using system -> preferences -> display) and/or ctrl+alt+f1 out and back in or something?
[01:05] <shane2peru> all my googling turns up really old info, does anyone know anything about the intel 82845G graphics card, and Ubuntu?  Odd to me to have problems with intel
[01:05] <shane2peru> !intel
[01:06] <dsnyders> Hi all!  My desktop is missing after a reboot this morning.
[01:06] <shane2peru> gotta love ubottu. :)
[01:06] <nerdy_kid> hi, I think wu-ftpd is using ssl and i was wondering how to make it not use it.... thanks in advance
[01:07] <openback> mzz: ok, I did that, same thing
[01:07] <quickstart> anyone know how to configure samba to print to a winbox
[01:07] <mzz> openback: straaaange. Compare "xrandr --verbose" output while logged into the working and the nonworking account (*after* switching the nonworking one to squeezed instead of too-small resulotion)?
[01:07] <mzz> resolution, even
[01:08] <ctmjr> Tinned_Tuna: do you know how to bring your wireless up via cli?
[01:09] <bastidrazor> Zappo, on 9.04 no.
[01:09] <drwho> Can anyone help me with a master0 problem?
[01:09] <Zappo> bastidrazor: OK
[01:09] <shane2peru> !82845 | shane2peru
[01:09] <blknite> mykola: yes, thank you - you saved me hours and tears :)
[01:09] <bastidrazor> Zappo, you can find out what packages you installed with 'apt-cache policy packagename'  in a terminal
[01:09] <nerdy_kid> anyone know if wu-ftpd uses ssl be default?
[01:09] <guest_> edbian thankyou very much buddy. got the disc out.cheers n beers.later mate.
[01:09] <Tinned_Tuna> ctmjr, Thanks, but I've figured it out now :-)
[01:10] <mykola> blknite: works now? :D
[01:10] <mzz> openback: "diff -u" is your friend, in case you didn't know that yet
[01:10] <ctmjr> Tinned_Tuna: ok
[01:10] <mykola> blknite: nice ^_^
[01:10] <Tinned_Tuna> :-)
[01:10] <mykola> blknite: for the future though, you may wanna password your grub... you know... easy root access and all? :)
[01:11] <Voltaire> hello guys how goes things today
[01:11] <Voltaire> quite apparently
[01:11] <blknite> mykola: will do - thanks again
[01:11] <mzz> mykola: passwords on grub are of limited utility (they only help for the case where they have physical access, can reboot, but cannot boot off external media, which means they must not be able to reset the bios password preventing that)
[01:13] <elec> can anyone help with dmraid: i have a nvidia array and a single disk. the nvidia array is just for data while the single disk holds the os etc.. the problem is that dmraid picks up metadata on the single disk and thinks its part of a via array but ignores it (?) and says it'll use the nvidia array instead.. so then when i reboot something strange happens and it says invalid block device (which im guessing its trying to read from the nvidia arr
[01:14] <openback> mzz: hmm...I'm not sure what I'm looking for, though.
[01:14] <openback> mzz: you're saying put both accounts into the higher res and diff those outputs?
[01:14] <Kingsy101> can someone tell me why when I uninstalled wine I still have it in the menu? all that seems to happen is the logo has changed from a wine glass to a folder
[01:14] <dsnyders> HI all.  Can I launch a program in tty1 and have it show on the x display?
[01:15] <mzz> openback: yep
[01:15] <aaron424> do I have to set the nvidia x server everytime I reboot?\
[01:15] <mzz> openback: that is: iiuc one defaults to that, the other switches to something nonsensical and corrupts if you switch it back
[01:16] <nerdy_kid> does ubuntu run a sftp server by default?
[01:17] <troxor> nope
[01:17] <troxor> iirc
[01:17] <troxor> openssh-server will provide that service
[01:17] <nerdy_kid> troxor thanks in that case wu-ftpd is using ssl and i was wondering how to kill it...
[01:18] <troxor> `/etc/init.d/wu-ftpd stop` ?
[01:18] <zas> hi
[01:18] <mzz> nerdy_kid: keep in mind that "sftp" usually refers to the ssh thing, which is *not* the same as ftp-over-ssl
[01:18] <haf1z> somebody can help me with Wicd pls? my wireless is not working at all. cant get any wireless spot
[01:18] <zas> somebidy knows how to use nslookup?
[01:18] <mzz> zas: "nslookup ubuntu.com"
[01:18] <zas> i have problems ON linux (on windows works perfect) when i trie to doa transfer zone in a DNS server
[01:19] <zas> nslookup tell me that ls is not implemented when i try ls -d xxx.com
[01:19] <x3cion> I've a problem with bash script. How can I find out if a string is in a string? .. or something like that
[01:19] <nerdy_kid> mzz maybe this is ftp over ssl then... I can login using ftp but commands like ls wont work unless i use sftd
[01:19] <ctmjr> aaron424: you can run it as sudo and save it to x then it will save the configuration
[01:19] <openback> mzz: hmm, the modes seem to be different (If I'm assuming properly as to what the hex codes in parntheses are)
[01:19] <mzz> openback: pastebin the diff?
[01:21] <openback> mzz: oops: http://pastebin.com/m4993b24c And I just realized that even though I ran "xrandr -s 1280x800" before dumping the non_working log, it shows 1024x768 as current, when the display did change
[01:21] <dsnyders> Help!  My desktop is missing!
[01:21] <openback> dsnyders: does Alt+F2 do anything?
[01:22] <bucky> zas nslookup 67.Red-88-5-252.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net
[01:22] <haf1z> any1 can help me pls
[01:22] <zas> bucky,  ??
[01:22] <mzz> openback: that's very weird. I don't think the hex numbers matter, but this looks like a driver bug (probably one of those intel regressions I keep hearing about)
[01:22] <dsnyders> openback: Alt+F2 does nothing
[01:23] <Voltaire>  whats up haf1z
[01:23] <zas> bucky, nslookup works but the commands of finger, root, ls, and help not!
[01:23] <openback> dsnyders: then that's it for me, lol, sorry
[01:23] <zas> :S
[01:23] <haf1z> Voltaire: my Wicd cannot working
[01:23] <haf1z> Voltaire: i cant get listing for wireless
[01:23] <haf1z> Voltaire: but the wired connection work great
[01:24] <SealedWithAKiss> Does anybody know anything about the screen capture software xvidcap? Whenever I press record the application closes. It saves an 0 byte MPEG file to my home dir - that's it.
[01:24] <Voltaire> Haf1z: hmm, did you get drivers for the card
[01:24] <dsnyders> openback: what is alt-f2 supposed to do?
[01:24] <openback> mzz: crap. Is the Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME driver part of the kernel?
[01:24] <haf1z> Voltaire: im not so sure bout that. Coz the other day i just install it
[01:25] <aaron424> ctmjr: thanks
[01:25] <openback> dsnyders: I've had gnome crash sometimes and alt+F2 brings up the "Run command" prompt. I run nautilus in there and all comes back
[01:25] <Voltaire> Haf1z: ah ok what type of computer are you running off of
[01:25] <ctmjr> aaron424: np
[01:25] <haf1z> im running hp tx2032au
[01:26] <haf1z> Voltaire: im running hp tx2032au
[01:26] <openback> mzz: because I'm wondering if I upgraded the kernel before this happened. It's a little confusing as to where drivers come from package-wise sometimes
[01:26] <haf1z> Voltaire: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/wicd-wired-and-wireless-network-manager-for-ubuntu.html <- wbsite that guide me for the Wicd installation
[01:27] <mzz> openback: only a small part is, unless you're using kernel modesetting, which I don't think you are
[01:27] <mzz> openback: this is a regular jaunty kernel?
[01:27] <openback> mzz: yeah
[01:27] <mzz> openback: no kernel modesetting then
[01:27] <bucky> zas M$ has a brain dead implementation of dns ... if you /join #dns they have some good docs in the /topic and the people are very good at helping on this subject
[01:27] <mzz> openback: weird bug, not sure what's up there
[01:28] <SealedWithAKiss> Does anybody know anything about the screen capture software xvidcap? Whenever I press record the application closes. It saves an 0 byte MPEG file to my home dir - and that's it.
[01:28] <openback> mzz: well thanks for all the help, at least I'm closer with the new info!
[01:28] <popey> SealedWithAKiss: i think xvidcap has been broken in ubuntu for a while
[01:28] <popey> SealedWithAKiss: you might want to try gtk-recordmydesktop instead
[01:29] <Voltaire> haf1z: ahh that ones a little dated
[01:29] <wwalker> how do I start the ssh daemon on ubuntu from the command line?  I thought it would be /etc/init.d/sshd start
[01:29] <SealedWithAKiss> popey,  thanks.
[01:29] <wwalker> trying to help a friend remotely
[01:29] <popey> SealedWithAKiss: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-doc/2009-June/013251.html take a look at that also as an alternative
[01:29] <Voltaire> haf1z: which version reason of linux did you get
[01:29] <openback> wwalker: I think you need to drop the "d"
[01:29] <popey> SealedWithAKiss: it details using ffmpeg to create lossless video screencasts, it works well, I've used it
[01:30] <losher> wwalker: lose the 'd'  -> /etc/init.d/ssh start
[01:30] <haf1z> im running 9.04
[01:30] <haf1z> Voltaire: im running 9.04
[01:30] <openback> wwalker: from sshd, I mean
[01:30] <b3rz3rk3r> wwalker, an easier way would be to get teamviewer (via WINE)
[01:30] <b3rz3rk3r> wwalker, or FreeNX (my fav as it uses SSH too)
[01:30] <JRoberto> boa noite
[01:31] <samosa> Lol I have been owned ;-(
[01:31] <JRoberto> speak portuguese
[01:31] <losher> !pt | JRoberto
[01:31] <bucky> !pr
[01:31] <samosa> Dual boot xp/ubuntu
[01:31] <Voltaire> haf1z: hmm well just as a heads up I'm a little out the area I know particulary well, I've never had to use wireless with any distro
[01:32] <bucky> !br | JRoberto
[01:32] <samosa> When I try to boot in ubuntu it said windows missing Hal.dll
[01:32] <haf1z> Voltaire: thx for ur time buddy
[01:32] <Voltaire> haf1z: but you don't need it wicd to run a wireless connection
[01:33] <samosa> So I replace it and now I cant boot in either os
[01:33] <losher> !grub | samosa
[01:33] <Voltaire> haf1z: assuming you have the drivers for the card you should be able to simply configure and connect to it
[01:33] <samosa> So now I am typing on my itouch :(
[01:33] <haf1z> will update the drivers
[01:34] <Flechmen> Hello?
[01:34] <samosa> I installed win first then ubuntu
[01:34] <openback> mzz: gah! I made a typo, it is saying the proper resolution, but still different modes, if that means anything: http://pastebin.com/d63676e20
[01:34] <Voltaire> haf1z: try looking in the connection manager thats should be at the the top menubar, where it says autoetho
[01:34] <dsnyders> openback: I've tried running nautilus on tty1, but it seems to be not installed.  For Xfce should it be?
[01:35] <losher> samosa: if you're seeing "windows missing Hal.dll" messages while booting ubuntu, I'd say something went wrong with your grub install....
[01:35] <crankharder> how come when I add a DAAP share to rhythmbox it doesn't stick after I close rhythmbox and reopen it?
[01:35] <self> Flechmen: hi.
[01:35] <openback> dsnyders: no, as I said, that's for gnome. I don't know Xfce
[01:36] <losher> dsnyders: is /usr/bin/nautilus there?
[01:36] <Flechmen> Hello, self, I was begining to thing I was alone
[01:37] <openback> losher: he's using Xfce
[01:37] <dsnyders> openback: when the login prompt comes up, I've tried kde, xfce and gnome. It's always the same, a screen with a mouse pointer and nothing else.
[01:37] <self> Flechmen: Aww, common'
[01:37] <Guest50536> can someone help me with a white scree i get when i try to enable compiz?
[01:37] <Guest50536> .nick rodimus
[01:37] <samosa> I cant boot in either OS xD
[01:37] <self> self: Never assume someone isn't watching.
[01:37] <self> err
[01:37] <self> Yeah that was weird
[01:37] <self> Anyways
[01:37] <self> Flechmen: Ask the question already
[01:37] <Flechmen> That doesnt really help me then
[01:37] <openback> dsnyders: weird, sorry, I'm not That good of a troubleshooter, lol
[01:37] <bean> Does wine have a gui like bootcamp for OSX?
[01:37] <losher> openback: I don't know about Xfce specifically, but you can run nautilus with other wms. If it's there, it might be worth trying...
[01:38] <dsnyders> losher, no, there is no /usr/bin/nautilus
[01:38] <wwalker> openback: losher: b3rz3rk3r: thx, turns out it wasn't installed (aptitude ...openssh-server)
[01:38] <openback> dsnyders: but if you have gnome as an option for your session, then you should have nautilus. Is this a new installation?
[01:38] <Flechmen> How can I adjust the sensitivity on a trackpoint mouse on a Lenovo T61 laptop running Mint 7?
[01:38]  * self notes Mint 7 is the same base as 9.04, and noone there seems to know
[01:38] <self> Consider it an "upstream" question ;)
[01:39] <bastidrazor> !mintsupport | Flechmen
[01:39] <losher> dsnyders: then it isn't installed. YOu could install it & see if it runs with Xfce. Dunno if that's a supported combination though...
[01:39] <Flechmen> Self told me to come here
[01:39] <bucky> Flechmen: good then mint has all the gui configuration tools in System Preferences and Administration
[01:39] <bean> Does wine have a gui like bootcamp for OSX?
[01:39]  * self ponders if anyone has used 9.04 on a T61
[01:40] <T3CHKOMMIE> i love linux!!!!!
[01:40] <a_ham_sandwitch> @bean no it runs windows apps on ubuntu
[01:40] <skryingsword> I am running 9.04 on an hp dv9000 amd64 laptop with an nvidia graphics card and I have a screen resolution problem. anyone else?
[01:40] <dsnyders> openback: I upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 last night.  Everything seemed fine.  This morning, the system requested a reboot, and my desktop disappeared.
[01:40] <bucky> Flechmen: letsee  hmmm... System=>Preferences=>Mouse
[01:41] <Flechmen> bucky: Changes nothing
[01:41] <bucky> Flechmen: i guess it doens't work the same
[01:41] <bean> a_ham_sandwitch, Thanks!
[01:41] <openback> dsnyders: sounds like a bad upgrade if you had gnome and are missing nautilus now.
[01:42] <a_ham_sandwitch> @bean your welcome
[01:42] <dsnyders> openback: that would have been my first thought if things were not working after the upgrade last night.
[01:43] <a_ham_sandwitch> could you not just aptitude install ubuntu-desktop
[01:43] <bean> @a_ham_sanwitch , "Wine Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer" is this what I need?
[01:43] <losher> dsnyders: were you running gnome or Xfce, or something else?
[01:43] <Flechmen> Bucky: the settings are there but they don't seem to change anything on the trackpoint.
[01:43] <skryingsword> I am running 9.04 on an hp dv9000 amd64 laptop with an nvidia graphics card and I have a screen resolution problem. any idea how I can get my screen back to normal?
[01:43] <dsnyders> losher: xfce
[01:43] <a_ham_sandwitch> @bean yes thats it but i recamend adding the wine repos
[01:44] <losher> dsnyders: since it's not working now anyway, I guess you've nothing to lose by reinstalling Xfce...
[01:44] <bean> @a_ham_sanwitch , Okay, I'll google it.
[01:44] <kermit> how do i get the side of my touchpad to scroll like a mousewheel?  i sware it was working at first but isnt now, it's an Alps touchpad.
[01:44] <woody_> my symnatics touchpad dose not work very well and gsymnaptics gives me errors and my ati 200m integrated video on my laptop has very crappy performance and a lot of times when I come out of sleep mode stuff quits working , most of time the keyboard....I love ubuntu but not going to replace a good laptop for one that is more compatible. wish I could make this work better so I dont have to go back to XP
[01:45] <jondavis_> hay does anybody know how i can get a shell account for ubuntu linux
[01:46] <samosa> hey
[01:46] <GnuSeb> Hello there, I'm having trouble installing the UNR version from the flashdrive, when i go to my laptops boot manager it only lists internal cd/dvdROM drive and notebook hard drive,
[01:46] <inx-mdg> jondavis_: what's a "shell" account?
[01:46] <beasty> lol
[01:46] <samosa> I am back, using a livebootcd.
[01:46] <beasty> are you serious ?
[01:46] <jondavis_> yall should know what it is
[01:46] <losher> jondavis_: google "shell account for ubuntu linux". First hit...
[01:47] <samosa> losher: sorry, what do I do? grub?
[01:47] <samosa> !grub
[01:47] <Jaykul> Does anyone know what could cause my root (/dev/sda1) to abort mounting or remounting with the error:  mount: block device .... is write-protected, mounting read-only
[01:47] <jondavis_> well what about telnet
[01:47] <losher> samosa: yes, you want to (re)install grub...
[01:48] <a_ham_sandwitch> google reinstall grub
[01:48] <inx-mdg> jondavis_: what is it you are trying to accomplish?
[01:48] <losher> jondavis_: what about it? (telnet)
[01:48] <thelostfaith> I'm attempting to somehow work with an external drive of mine that is formatted exFAT. Is there any software/trick/etc to allow me to access my drive?
[01:48] <scuff> ewsubach fixed thanks buddy
[01:49] <losher> Jaykul: usual cause is hardware errors, sorry. Download & run the manufacturers test disk...
[01:49] <jondavis_> i work from home but i also have a laptop @ work when i need to use it
[01:49] <Jaykul> losher: ugh

[01:49] <losher> Jaykul: yeah, not pretty. Sorry...
[01:49] <jondavis_> well
[01:50] <Iormangund> glasses should help focus
[01:50] <inx-mdg> jondavis_: is the laptop at work windows?
[01:50] <Jaykul> Well, I can try that. If nothing else I can eliminate it ... and worst case, it should be well within RMA dates
[01:50] <jondavis_> yes it is @ work
[01:50] <jondavis_> but it is not windeos os
[01:50] <woody_> I tested ubuntu 9.10 and it seemed to have fixed the synaptics touchpad so it worked real good but had problems with other things so I am back to 9.04. is there a way to install touchpad drivers from9.10 to my 9.04 ?
[01:51] <scuff> edbian fixed... disc ejected...duno why...interested in IDK...what is it?
[01:51] <inx-mdg> jondavis_: ?
[01:51] <jondavis_> well
[01:51] <losher> inx-mdg: sometimes it's like pulling teeth....
[01:51] <jondavis_> the laptop that is @ work is also ubuntu linux
[01:52] <prince_jammys> !ssh | jondavis_
[01:52] <inx-mdg> jondavis_: so to summarize, you want to use your ubuntu computer at home to telnet into your work laptop running ____ os?
[01:52] <prince_jammys> just use ssh. telnet is history.
[01:52] <jondavis_> thay are bouth ubuntu linux
[01:53] <prince_jammys> jondavis_: read that howto for how to login in remotely with ssh.
[01:53] <inx-mdg> jondavis_: oh, I thought you said it was windows
[01:53] <jondavis_> no it is not windeos
[01:53] <samosa> losher: May I pm you?
[01:53] <inx-mdg> jondavis_: ssh is what you want
[01:53] <newser> hello, I just installed skype, and it is showing a problem with audio
[01:54] <newser> anyone knows how to fix this?
[01:54] <jondavis_> ok how do i use ssh
[01:54] <losher> samosa: no pm's please. I'm happy to try and help you on the main channel though...
[01:54] <scuff> edbian ya there
[01:54] <prince_jammys> jondavis_: read the howto in that link i sent you.
[01:54] <inx-mdg> !ssh | jondavis_
[01:54] <samosa> ok lol, i am stuck on first step. fdisk -i does not work ? :s
[01:54] <GnuSeb> can i partition for dual booting from wubi, leaving windows untouched?
[01:54] <inx-mdg> jondavis_: see links in ubottu post
[01:55] <D3RGPS31> is there a way to launch certain applications with certain window managers :o
[01:55] <losher> samosa: that's sudo fdisk -l (lower case L).  Is there any software/trick/etc to allow me to access my drive?
[01:56] <Zappo> What do i install to get Tcl
[01:56] <Zappo> ?
[01:56] <bastidrazor> !info tcl
[01:57] <jondavis_> \well

[01:57] <jondavis_> pm me plese
[01:57] <dsnyders> openback, losher:  I've installed nautilus, and rebooted.  My icons are back, but no toolbars.
[01:57] <bucky> samosa: L for list
[01:57] <inx-mdg> jondavis_: I don't have ssh setup - sorry.  Maybe someone else can tutor you further
[01:57] <prince_jammys> that way we'll make mistakes, instead of you reading the step-by-step howto.
[01:58] <jondavis_> then some one help me set up ssh plese
[01:58] <jondavis_> pm me
[01:58] <MOUD> Hey all
[01:58] <MOUD> !batch
[01:58] <bastidrazor> Zappo, tcl is the packagename
[01:58] <jondavis_> i will be gratfull if yall can
[01:58] <MOUD> !bat
[01:58] <mazda01> dsnyders: do you have metacity installed?
[01:58] <Zappo> bastidrazor: ok
[01:59] <losher> dsnyders: that's a bad sign. It implies you lost nautilus during the upgrade. I wonder what else went missing....?
[01:59] <MOUD> How can I create a file that will install multiple programs one after another automatically without user interference ?
[01:59] <veasmkii> is it possible to configure "mail" to read gmail or other pop/imap accounts?
[02:00] <inx-mdg> veasmkii: I hear mutt is better at gmail
[02:00] <dsnyders> mazda01: Yes, it seems that I do.
[02:00] <samosa> I cant distinquish between hd partitions, i have 3 of them, under "system" 2 are labelled as HPFS/NTFS and 1 is labelled as W95 Ext'd (LBA).
[02:00] <losher> MOUD: you can write a shell script containing lines says "apt-get install <program-name>" but some packages need user intervention. No way round that....
[02:00] <jondavis_> yo help me plese install the ssh
[02:01] <jondavis_> i dont need to miss up
[02:01] <jondavis_> i need know how
[02:01] <newser> I have a problem with audio playback on skype, anyone knows how to fix it?
[02:01] <losher> samosa: time to paste the output of fdisk -l to paste.ubuntu.com
[02:01] <inx-mdg> jondavis_: you willing to read a little bit about ssh?
[02:01] <prince_jammys> jondavis_: at the machine that will be listening for connections:  sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[02:01] <jondavis_> i have
[02:01] <MOUD> losher: I see. Do you have a shell script example so that I can create mine?
[02:01] <veasmkii> MOUD: you could try "sudo apt-get --assume-yes install xchat" inside a .sh script
[02:01] <inx-mdg> !ssh | jondavis_
[02:01] <veasmkii> thanks inx-mdg
[02:01] <prince_jammys> heh
[02:02] <jondavis_> I need some one to walk me thro
[02:02] <administrator__> hello
[02:02] <inx-mdg> veasmkii: your welcome :)
[02:02] <MOUD> veasmkii, you mean that I have to sh first?
[02:02] <a_ham_sandwitch> hello
[02:02] <Sepero> Does lint or a program like lint exist for checking C source code?
[02:02] <MOUD> hello a_ham_sandwitch
[02:03] <losher> jondavis_: we're pretty keen on DIY here....
[02:03] <inx-mdg> jondavis_: prince_jammys gave your the first instruction above
[02:03] <veasmkii> you could create a bash file, and run that with sudo, then it would have sudo privileges, i think. I don't think its the best way to do it because it's the only way i know currently :)
[02:03] <jondavis_> will some one walk me thro about installing ssh
[02:03] <a_ham_sandwitch> would anyone know how to make alsa work after resume on a thinkpad t30
[02:03] <samosa> losher: sure: http://paste.ubuntu.com/252853/
[02:03] <veasmkii> that way it would only ask the first time, or simply use && to combine alot of commands
[02:04] <prince_jammys> a_ham_sandwitch: while you figure it out, try sudo alsa force-reload
[02:04] <veasmkii> apt-get install xchat && apt-get install firefox
[02:04] <Dr_Willis> jondavis_:  install the open ssh server.. and there ya go.
[02:04] <dsnyders> jondavis_: what happened when you did the sh
[02:04] <jondavis_> I am spend ing more time ask 4 help than yall helping me out
[02:04] <jondavis_> one on one
[02:04] <avi_> HI TO ALL
[02:04] <dsnyders> jondavis_: sorry, sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[02:04] <jondavis_> pm me
[02:04] <prince_jammys> and way more than time you're spending reading the guide, which seems to be zero.
[02:04] <losher> samosa: that's a bit odd. Usually ubuntu installs on an ext3 type filesystem. I only see NTFS filesystems on that disk. Did you do a wubi install or something like that?
[02:05] <Dr_Willis> jondavis_:  like dsnyders said. Installing the ssh server takes about 1 min...
[02:05] <ctmjr> dsnyders: are you trying to get gnome running or xfce?
[02:05] <samosa> losher: wubi install?
[02:05] <guest2>  can u help find and intall ubuntu webcam drivers
[02:05] <dsnyders> ctmjr: at this point, either one
[02:05] <losher> jondavis_: we're trying to teach you to fish (and failing...). And you're spending more time asking for help than reading the howto...
[02:05] <prince_jammys> ya-ha
[02:06] <losher> samosa: let's step back a bit. What os are you running, and how did you install it?
[02:06] <guest2> im looking for 1810 Ricoh on hp pavillion dv9000
[02:07] <guest2> hello
[02:07] <ctmjr> dsnyders: ok this will install the bare minimum of gnome sudo apt-get install gnome-core if you want xfce apt-get install xfce4
[02:07] <D3RGPS31> is there a way to launch an application with a different window manager (wine with openbox)
[02:07] <Dr_Willis> so did it work jondavis_ ?
[02:07] <haf1z> guys, is it possible to run windows application on ubuntu?
[02:07] <guest2> yes
[02:08] <Dr_Willis> D3RGPS31:  that dosent make a lot of sence...
[02:08] <Dr_Willis> haf1z:  with wine - yes.
[02:08] <MOUD> anyone?
[02:08] <samosa> losher: win xp, two drives C:\ (windows) and E:\ (other stuff), used ubuntu live cd to install ubuntu on E:\ ...which is the one which wont boot.
[02:08] <D3RGPS31> Dr_Willis: how?
[02:08] <haf1z> Dr_Willis: wine is the best?
[02:08] <Dr_Willis> D3RGPS31:  the window 'manager' handles all windows on the current desktop. You dont set it up for a 'per app' basis. what are you trying to do exactly?
[02:08] <guest2> how do i get my laptop webcam working??
[02:08] <Dr_Willis> !wine | haf1z
[02:09] <samosa> losher: oh sorry, but am not running xp right now, cuz it wont let me boot, so i am running ubuntu on cd right now...
[02:09] <inx-mdg> guest2: what kind of laptop?
[02:09] <samosa> losher: 8.0.4
[02:09] <dsnyders> ctmjr: Yes,  I've started an apt-get install gnome.  It's running now.
[02:09] <guest2> hp dv9000
[02:09] <D3RGPS31> Dr_Willis: borderless applications without losing my desktop
[02:09] <losher> samosa: ok, bad news. fdisk only sees one drive. And it looks like it's the C: drive. There's no sign of the E: drive. I'm wondering if it has failed completely?
[02:10] <Sepero> Does lint or a program like lint exist in the repositories for checking C source code?
[02:10] <inx-mdg> guest2: Have you checked www.ubuntuforums.com and searched on hpdv900 webcam?
[02:10] <Iormangund> hi, how can i remove dependencies that where installed cos of an app?
[02:10] <Dr_Willis> D3RGPS31:  there are tricks/tools to  remove the 'window decoration' for specific apps. devilspie i think is one such tool. some window managers support such features via the menus/settings also.. compiz also mayu have such a feature
[02:10] <Iormangund> there a command line for it?
[02:10] <samosa> losher: it is 1 500gig hardrive, but there is C and E in , like been split , when windows was working it showed C (60gig) and E (440gig)
[02:11] <MOUD> Can anyone pastebin an example of shellscript to install 3 programs in a row?
[02:11] <inx-mdg> hi prince_j1mmys :)
[02:11] <histo> Anyone know where there is a feature list or changelog for xubuntu+1?  I've already asked in #xubuntu
[02:11] <prince_j1mmys> hello
[02:11] <samosa> E (400)*
[02:11] <samosa> some space reserved or something..
[02:11] <Dr_Willis> MOUD:  4 lines, first one  #!/bin/bash , next 3 lines.. of the format 'sudo apt-get install program1'
[02:11] <MOUD> I see. And how do I run it?
[02:11] <Dr_Willis> MOUD:  changing program1 to be whatever package you want.
[02:12] <samosa> losher: no wait, it does see both
[02:12] <ctmjr> dsnyders: ok good luck hope it works
[02:12] <Dr_Willis> MOUD:  same as any other scriopt. make it executable and ./scriptname,  or 'bash scriptname'
[02:12] <Dr_Willis> MOUD:  bash basics. :)
[02:12] <dsnyders> ctmjr: So do I
[02:12] <guest2> ubuntu forums came up empty
[02:12] <BoredKender> what would you say would be the most efficient way to clone my current install onto another drive? install is on a USB HDD and I want to clone it onto the internal drive
[02:12] <samosa> losher: if i go to "PLACES" and under "COMPUTER" there it shows 2 media's , one is 437 gig and other is 62 gig.
[02:13] <MOUD> Dr_Willis: thanks. I never had to use bash so that's why I never cared about. Thanks :)
[02:13] <inx-mdg> guest2: is your hp a netbook?
[02:13] <guest2> 17" laptop
[02:13] <Dr_Willis> MOUD:  the script is basicially identical to the commands you would type at teh terminal.
[02:13] <guest2> built in webcam
[02:13] <inx-mdg> guest2: you are running 9.04?
[02:14] <Dr_Willis> webcams for me - either work with no hassles.. or are totally Unsupported. :(
[02:14] <guest2> yes 9.04
[02:14] <MOUD> Dr_Willis: ah
[02:14] <samosa> losher:  i think its installed on /dev/sda5            7650       60800   426935376    7  HPFS/NTFS ?
[02:14] <Dr_Willis> MOUD:  rather straightforward for simple things. :) i have scripts setup for new installs to install the few dozen or so packages i always want.
[02:14] <Wicked> !songbird
[02:15] <MOUD> Dr_Willis: that's exactly what I want to do.
[02:15] <samosa> cuz it has most blocks
[02:15] <losher> samosa: ok. I see /dev/sda1 (a windows partition, about 61G) and /dev/sda5 (another windows partition, about 426G). That isn't what I hoped to see though. I had hoped to see a windows partition (sda1, looks ok) and then a linux partition (ext3) and a swap partition (linux swap)
[02:15] <Schmitty> how do I edit the colors of the terminal within the terminal.
[02:15] <inx-mdg> guest2: do you what kind of webcam it is?
[02:16] <guest2> 1810 Ricoh
[02:16] <zheng> HI, all, do you install Ubuntu-8.04 from a  USB Stick successffully?
[02:16] <inx-mdg> guest2: do you know what kind of webcam it is -
[02:16] <histo> !usb | zheng
[02:16] <samosa> losher: yes, so its either the second or third one?
[02:17] <Schmitty> How do I change the colors of a console session
[02:17] <MOUD> Dr_Willis: let's say I want to get xfce4, after it I want to get all the packages, is there a way to do that without sudo-ing every single package?
[02:17] <samosa> losher: maybe its second cuz the first is defnitly windows and it is ntfs and so is last one, so that means second one is linux cuz it is not ntfs?
[02:18] <samosa> second one*
[02:18] <ctmjr> Schmitty: gnome terminal?
[02:18] <Dr_Willis> MOUD:  it asks for root password after first sudo.. but not the rest.
[02:18] <Dr_Willis> MOUD:  or sudo scriptname,
[02:18] <samosa> ubuntu was installed on the bigger partition....so its gonna be a 400K one.
[02:18] <Schmitty> ctmjr: no just xterm
[02:19] <meLon> I could use some help getting my once-working-but-now-not-working wifi card to work.  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7783149
[02:19] <guest2> hello
[02:19] <losher> samosa: no, the 2nd partition is an extended partition (ext'd). It's not a real partition, it's just a placeholder for the 3rd. partition. That part, at least, looks normal :-)
[02:19] <guest2> hello
[02:19] <losher> samosa: ok, can you open /dev/sda5 and see the files in it?
[02:19] <MOUD> Dr_Willis: no no, I mean like  sudo apt-get install xfce-*    (where * means all the packages)
[02:20] <guest2> 1810 Ricoh
[02:20] <Dr_Willis> MOUD:   xfce has the 'xubuntu-desktop' meta package.
[02:20] <Dr_Willis> !info xubuntu-desktop
[02:20] <samosa> losher: open like this mkdir /media/root? (am a total nub lol)
[02:20] <inx-mdg> guest2: 1810 Ricoh webcam?
[02:20] <guest2> yes
[02:20] <Dr_Willis> bbl
[02:20] <MOUD> I see.
[02:20] <inx-mdg> anyone here have experience with a 1810 Ricoh webcam?
[02:21] <MOUD> Which is better, icewm or xfce4 ?
[02:21] <MOUD> Which is better, icewm or xfce4 ? (in terms of more windows like desktop and customisable)
[02:21] <samosa> losher: i tryed /dev/sda5 , and it says : "bash: /dev/sda5: Permission denied"
[02:22] <losher> \samosa: please open a terminal window and type 'sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt'

[02:22] <samosa> losher: nothing happens?
[02:23] <inx-mdg> guest2: what application were you trying to use with your webcam?
[02:23] <guest2> ok thanks ill try it
[02:23] <Ratman_2009> Hello, can anyone point me to a free video tutorial on linux/unix?  I know the basics but would really like to sharpen my skills.

[02:27] <randy_> Can anyone help me setup 2 nic cards in ubuntu server 9.04. One for the internet with static ips and the other one for the intranet with dynamic ips (<IP_ADDRESS>/50).
[02:27] <inx-mdg> Ratman_2009: live CD of cli distro with tutorials
[02:27] <losher> samosa: that's good. that means the files are probably all there. But your installation is incorrect. I think you need to reinstall ubuntu from scratch. Before you do, are there any ubuntu files you need to preserve? If so, we can copy them somewhere safe...
[02:27] <darkangel> is there a vlc help room???
[02:27] <Zappo> Does anyone here use eggdrop?
[02:27] <xidarian> is the epiphany-webkit package screwed up for everyone or jsut me, on jaunty

[02:27] <inx-mdg> Ratman_2009: your welcome!  :)
[02:27] <ctmjr> Schmitty: sorry phone you still here?
[02:27] <innomen> Hey guys, how painless is it to set up a lan folder share between ubuntu and xppro?
[02:28] <innomen> and recommended apps?
[02:28] <innomen> any*
[02:28] <mintsoup> samba :D
[02:28] <Schmitty> ctmjr: yes i'm still here
[02:28] <innomen> with the default network thing i get a "failed to get list form server" error
[02:29] <rahu> screentlet tutorials
[02:29] <xidarian> from my experience samba is really well integrated into ubuntu and jsut works, so i can't really help you configure it
[02:29] <emil111> I'm running ubuntu live from teh CD and every time the cd drive stops spinning my computer becmoes so slow, because as soon as I want to do anything it has to start spinning the cd firt
[02:30] <emil111> is there any way to work around this, I'm not able to install it on my HD yet
[02:30] <samosa> losher: not really, i dont have any files i need to back up.
[02:30] <inx-mdg> emil111: what's your computer specs?
[02:30] <Schmitty> ctmjr: I know' xterm-fg white -bg blue' but that only changeds that instance. I want to change the default
[02:30] <xidarian> emil111, you could install onto a large thumb drive, but CDs are really slow, the live disk isnt' mean for regular use, just trying ubuntu out
[02:31] <randy_> join /network
[02:31] <randy_> join #network
[02:31] <emil111> xidarian: thanks, I should have got a live usb stick but I'm stuck with this live cd now until I fix my hd
[02:31] <darkangel> can anyone give me some vlc media player help??
[02:31] <emil111> I have the netbook remix on a usb but huge gfx trouble with that one
[02:31] <emil111> darkangel: what help do you need
[02:31] <xidarian> emil111, I think you can make one if you have a big usb stick you dont' mind wiping
[02:31] <inx-mdg> emil111: you can close Gnome-Do and Tomboy notes and and the updater and that might help
[02:31] <emil111> inx-mdg it's a dell  with intel 1.6ghz  processor, 2gb ram etc
[02:31] <MOUD> I have to get some sleep now. Thank you very much people for the help.
[02:31] <xidarian> darkangel maybe, be more specific
[02:32] <emil111> inx-mdg  thanks, how do I close gnome-do and tomboy notes? I cannot see that they are open
[02:32] <darkangel> trying to stream/save a dvd to my hard drive and i can copy the video but im not getting any sound
[02:32] <xidarian> emil111, maybe you can make the live CD load completely into ram, not sure if ubuntu live cd has that though
[02:32] <inx-mdg> emil111: right click on the icon and choose "quit"
[02:32] <ctmjr> Schmitty: i use setterm -foreground green background -black -store as an example
[02:32] <inx-mdg> emil111: in the case of Tomboy notes, choose remove from panel
[02:33] <samosa> losher: why is it installed incorrectly?
[02:33] <randy_> Can anyone help me setup 2 nic cards in ubuntu server 9.04. One for the internet with static ips and the other one for the intranet with dynamic ips (<IP_ADDRESS>/50).
[02:33] <samosa> losher: i just followed the wizard :s
[02:33] <emil111> inx-mdg: can't see that either is running
[02:33] <dsnyders> ctmjr, losher, I've got it working again, after apt-get installing gnome.  Now it's back to fighting xorg and nvidia about my resolution.
[02:33] <losher> samosa: then I recommend you free up  /dev/sda5 and when you reinstall, tell it to use the free space on the drive, and make sure the filesystem type is EXT3 and allow it to add a swap partition. The automatic partitioner should take care of this (but I wonder how come it went wrong on your first attempt?). Just be sure *not* to allow it to overwrite /dev/sda1, because that's where your...
[02:33] <losher> ...windows system is.
[02:33] <xidarian> does anyone here have epiphany-webkit installed on jaunty?
[02:33] <losher> dsnyders: good progress!
[02:33] <inx-mdg> emil111: gnome-do is a little purple square icon on the right side of the panel
[02:33] <inx-mdg> emil111: tomboy notes has a little yellow sticky note looking icon on the left side of the panel
[02:34] <losher> samosa: dunno what went wrong with your first attempt. It wasn't a server or an 'alternate CD' install, was it?
[02:34] <inx-mdg> emil111: update is the padlock icon
[02:34] <ctmjr> Schmitty: oops it should be -background black -store
[02:34] <emil111> inx-mdg: I don't think I have either on , can't see anything liek you describe
[02:34] <emil111> not running netbook remix if that's what you think of
[02:34] <inx-mdg> emil111: are you running a gnome desktop?
[02:34] <emil111> sorry if I confused you there
[02:34] <emil111> inx-mdg: ubuntu live from cd
[02:34] <Dr_Willis> gnome-do has settings to show or not show the systtray icon. :)
[02:34] <emil111> inx-mdg how can I tell if it's a gnome desktop ?
[02:34] <inx-mdg> emil111: you using netbook launcher?
[02:35] <xidarian> emil111, if you downloaded the standard ubuntu live CD its a gnome deskto
[02:35] <emil111> inx-mdg ubuntu live desktop iso   the one downloade
[02:35] <emil111> yes
[02:35] <Schmitty> i ran the command without error but it didn't seem to change the color of new terminal sessions ctmjr
[02:35] <samosa> losher: I limited the ubuntu partition to 17 gig, cuz althout its a big 400 gig, I have a ton of games/movies for windows on it that take about 300 gig.
[02:35] <inx-mdg> emil111: then its gnome
[02:35] <emil111> is anyone familiar with archives and why it takes so logn to put a large (500Mb) file into an archive, even with no compression ?
[02:35] <xidarian> anyone using epiphany with webkit backend on jaunty?
[02:36] <ctmjr> dsnyders: everytime i upgrade i always have to reinstall the nvidia drivers
[02:36] <ctmjr> Schmitty: run it without store and see if it changes
[02:36] <randy_> join /list
[02:36] <Schmitty> ctmjr: nope, and didn't change new instance either
[02:37] <Schmitty> ctmjr: i also traied the -default tag as well to no avail
[02:37] <samosa> losher: do i have to still reinstall? i explain, why it did not take entire drive.
[02:38] <emil111> nvermind about the archives, I was confused
[02:38] <losher> samosa: oops. That should have shrunk the 400G partition & added a couple of new partitions for ubuntu. Clearly that didn't happen. You know, if you mess about with partitions like this, you risk losing all your movies & games.   It's still doing updates.
[02:40] <Sepero> Does lint or a program like lint exist in the repositories for checking C source code?
[02:40] <jcmarini> salutations
[02:40] <pleed__> emil111: already tried to use an usb stick?
[02:41] <ctmjr> Schmitty: that's weird can you try just setterm -foreground green see what happens
[02:41] <samosa> losher: lol, i know, i will keep that in mind for future, but i really need a quick fix now T_T
[02:41] <losher> Sepero: lint exists. I believe it's called splint in Ubuntu. Dunno if it's any good...
[02:41] <dsnyders> Sepero: yes there is a lint program.  You probably need to install a developer version
[02:41] <Schmitty> ctmjr: nothing
[02:42] <Sepero> losher: ah yes, splint. thank you
[02:42] <Schmitty> ctmjr: if i do a 'xterm -fg green then I get a green background but only for that one window
[02:43] <thiebaude> im editing using nano, how do i save what im editing?
[02:43] <Schmitty> ctmjr: I'm sifting through the xterm man pages but I'm not coming accross a way to set it the default
[02:43] <samosa> losher:  what should i do now? pls help.
[02:43] <Dr_Willis> Schmitty:  'xterm' and many apps make use of the .Xdefaults file to set default settings for them
[02:43] <losher> samosa: since you have valuable data on that disk, and we don't know why it went wrong, I hesitate to advise you further. It sounds like you installed wubi (this installs ubuntu as a windows application).
[02:44] <jcmarini> ! firestarter
[02:44] <Dr_Willis> Schmitty:  ok tutorial on it --> https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECN/Support/KB/Docs/UsingTheXdefaultsFil

[02:44] <Schmitty> Dr_Willis: I don't see this file in my home directory

[02:47] <losher> samosa: Well, you can do fixmbr to make windows boot again. Or you can try reinstalling grub. But since you're not real familiar with Ubuntu, I think you need to do the windows fixmbr trick...
[02:47] <Schmitty> ctmjr: I can set the colors t my liking for one instance. My problem is I cannot set it as the default

[03:13] <haf1z> scott1: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/install-flash-10-ubuntu-linux-64bit.html <- take a look here. this may help you then
[03:13] <inx-mdg> kiaas_: hmm......
[03:13] <Berzerker> haf1z, I already posted a link for him
[03:14] <haf1z> Berzerker: sory for that
[03:14] <CopyWriter> Success!
[03:14] <Berzerker> CopyWriter, yay.
[03:14] <CopyWriter> my next challange is to get this working, i was googling and did an lspci it returned Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7133/SAA7135 Video Broadcast Decoder
[03:14] <Zappo> does anyone know what to edit eggbots config file with?
[03:15] <Zappo> edit/verify
[03:15] <inx-mdg> Zappo: what's eggbots?
[03:15] <Berzerker> Zappo, what kind of file is it?
[03:15] <boingful> The only place on the Internet where grammar, spelling and punctuation actually matters: http://www.anontalk.com/
[03:15] <Berzerker> lolwhat
[03:15] <Zappo> .conf
[03:16] <Berzerker> just edit it in pico
[03:16] <Berzerker> or vm
[03:16] <inx-mdg> Zappo: or nano
[03:16] <a_ham_sandwitch> or gedit
[03:16] <Berzerker> inx-mdg, pico is nano. ;)
[03:16] <Slimcea_boy> How can I get rid of the confirmation dialog for restart/shutdown etc?
[03:17] <inx-mdg> Berzerker: I didn't realize that LOL
[03:17] <Zappo> can i do it with the default text editor?
[03:17] <s__> anyone kno how or is it possible to install the .net 3.5 framework on ubuntu?
[03:17] <DoomHack2009> blacktrack vs nubunutu version super hacking super
[03:17] <Berzerker> Zappo, you could. if it's not in the home folder, you'll have to gksudo it, easier to edit in a terminal text editor
[03:18] <Berzerker> Zappo, sudo pico <file)
[03:18] <inx-mdg> Berzerker: whats the difference between gksu and gksudo?
[03:18] <CopyWriter> anybody knows how to set this up 01:06.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7133/SAA7135 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev d1) i don't have the slightest idea where to start using 8:04lts
[03:19] <a_ham_sandwitch> @copy righter what is it in
[03:19] <Berzerker> inx-mdg, gksu doesn't require password for anything else dealing with that program. gksudo might make you enter a password again
[03:19] <inx-mdg> CopyWriter: what exactly is that thing?
[03:19] <inx-mdg> Berzerker: oh
[03:19] <CopyWriter> it's a tv in card
[03:19] <ctmjr> CopyWriter: tv tuner?
[03:19] <CopyWriter> yes
[03:19] <CopyWriter> tv tuner
[03:19] <inx-mdg> CopyWriter: oh!
[03:19] <boggles> Hey I'm running the netbook remix, I'm having trouble...any gurus want to PM and help me out?
[03:20] <Slimcea_boy> !ask | boggles
[03:20] <boggles> Ah.
[03:20] <Slimcea_boy> !pm | boggles
[03:20] <inx-mdg> boggles: just throw your question in the ring
[03:20] <Zappo> Berzerker: how do i save the file?
[03:20] <DrDuck> :D
[03:21] <Berzerker> inx-mdg, gksudo is just a preliminary sudo to run the program initially run the program in admin mode. editing a text file might require another sudo
[03:21] <Berzerker> Zappo, in pico?
[03:21] <DrDuck> Ubuntu runs on Linux, am I correct?
[03:21] <Zappo> Berzerker: yes
[03:21] <boggles> Sure, how do I install deb files. I used to be able to just open the file on my other ubuntu but now I can't install it. I have the songbird .deb and want to install it.
[03:21] <Berzerker> boggles, what model are you on?
[03:21] <inx-mdg> Berzerker: that would be confusing
[03:21] <boggles> EEEpc 1000hd
[03:21] <merma> DrDuck, yes
[03:21] <Berzerker> DrDuck, lol? Ubuntu is linux
[03:21] <ctmjr> CopyWriter: here's your start http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
[03:21] <Berzerker> Zappo, Ctrl+x, then hit y to overwrite then enter
[03:22] <Zappo> Berzerker: ok
[03:22] <CopyWriter> thanks ctmjr
[03:22] <inx-mdg> CopyWriter: good luck! :)
[03:22] <shane2peru> is it possible to not load a Desktop manager and still run a graphical app?
[03:22] <savanny1976u_> Hi, I'm using "Ubuntu 9.04", I just install "Nvidia GeForce GTS250". I tried "Envy" to install the driver, Came to find out that "Envy" support up to Nvidia 180. I went to "Nvidia" website to download the driver but I couldn't get it to work. Can anyone please help me figure this out?? Thank you..
[03:22] <s__> anyone kno how or is it possible to install the .net 3.5 framework on ubuntu???
[03:22] <DrDuck> Berzerker: Would it be easier for me to carry out my programming needs with Ubuntu, ie: I'm learning C and k&R assumes you're using the linux OS.
[03:22] <Berzerker> DrDuck, not really. I learned C just fine in windows.
[03:22]  * Berzerker hides
[03:23] <a_ham_sandwitch> @berzerker lol
[03:23] <inx-mdg> !.net 3.5
[03:23] <danbhfive> s__: linux has mono
[03:23] <Berzerker> lol
[03:23] <boggles>  how do I install deb files. I used to be able to just open the file on my other ubuntu but now I can't install it. I have the songbird .deb and want to install it.
[03:23] <Berzerker> if you're going to learn .net, it's better to do it in windows.
[03:23] <Berzerker> boggles, sudo apt-get install gdebi
[03:23] <boggles> thanks
[03:24] <ctmjr> savanny1976u: get rid of envy first then try the nvidia drivers
[03:24] <DrDuck> Berzerker: Really? I thought K&R assumed you had linux, as with other guides/books. I have yet to find one which assumes you're running Windows. Would it be smart to keep ubuntu and windows on one comp :D
[03:24] <danbhfive> s__: and I've heard that linux has good support for the C# language, but less support for all the APIs
[03:24] <boggles> What apps/tweaks do you guys reccomend for ubuntu netbook remix?
[03:24] <Berzerker> DrDuck, if you have a big enough hard drive, it wouldn't hurt
[03:25] <DrDuck> Berzerker: dual core sounds good ehh?
[03:25] <CaptainCrook> i dont windows is better in learning... the only thing i've ever learned from windows... is click there there and there then do this then click there then reboot...
[03:25] <Berzerker> oh look.
[03:25] <Berzerker> someone is bashing windows lol
[03:25] <mizerydearia> Kubuntu: GIMP shortcut doesn't appear in 'Graphics' or any section in the KDE Applications menu.  How can I add it manually?
[03:25] <inx-mdg> s__: http://channel9.msdn.com/forums/Coffeehouse/259086-First-install-of-net-35-on-Ubuntu-Linux/RSS/
[03:25] <savanny1976u_> Tried that, didn't work, I even tried a "Nvidia" live Cd using "wine", that didn't work either..I'm not sure what I did wrong??
[03:25] <DrDuck> I'm enjoying my ubuntu experience thus far, it's similar to apple lol.
[03:26] <boggles> What apps/tweaks do you guys reccomend for ubuntu netbook remix?
[03:26] <samosa> Drduck lol
[03:26] <afed> prly xubunut
[03:26] <afed> xubuntu
[03:26] <a_ham_sandwitch> @mizerydearia try right clicking the applications and edit menus
[03:26] <afed> or
[03:26] <afed> xfce i mena
[03:26] <ctmjr> savanny1976u: what did not work getting rid of envy?
[03:26] <jedc> DrDuck, ubuntu is great for learning programming though, its awesome when your like, oh, i need this compiler, ok "sudo apt-get install <compilername>" and you are good to go
[03:26] <FloodBot1> afed: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:26] <Berzerker> DrDuck, GNOME is similar to aqua, since Aqua is based on GNOME, KDE is more like Aero (Windows)
[03:26] <afed> FloodBot1: suck a fUCK

[03:31] <jedc> afed, this is a community support channel
[03:31] <MeditatingFrog> sheit: install with aptitude, if that doesn't work, synaptic package manager, search for "flash"
[03:31] <jedc> Berzerker, lol hehe
[03:31] <majuk> devkhadka: What does that make Gentooers?
[03:31] <luckyone> devkhadka: nah - they are just pricks

[03:32] <devkhadka> luckyone: fedora i think is the best destro and master in development of linux now a days
[03:32] <Berzerker> boggles, uhm. no.
[03:32] <Berzerker> boggles, skype.com
[03:32] <Xenogia> anyone here used kernelcheck?

[03:32] <danbhfive> :)
[03:33] <sheit> a_ham_sandwitch, what are those?
[03:33] <inx-mdg> Hermid: unless its USB, then type lsusb
[03:33] <Berzerker> boggles, I think some repositories have it. but by default, ubuntu doesn't have it. easier just to install from the deb.
[03:33] <luckyone> devkhadka: you are wrong
[03:33] <savanny1976u_> What meant is, I tried to download the driver before I install Envy, Now I removed envy again ( Using Synaptic )..I Download the Driver from "Nvidia.com" but I don't know how to use "Tar" to extract and download, I'm new with Linux..Thank you "ctmjr" for replying can you help me with 2nd step ??
[03:33] <luckyone> devkhadka: yum sucks too

[03:34] <Xenogia> anyone had any of these issues before
[03:34] <devkhadka> luckyone: i agree the ununtu community have grown these days but it is fedora to make ununtu and debian based other grow
[03:34] <apoleo12> When I have a friend over, using my machine and I have hiom on his own account.. and did fast-switching.... but evidently it frozed. and had to reboot... why is that? Anyone had that problem?
[03:34] <Berzerker> apoleo12, never. no idea. sorry.
[03:34] <apoleo12> Or I would say if anyone would try using fast switching and giving problems let me know!
[03:35] <majuk> jedc: lol, I used to live on BreakMyGentoo.net before it got shutdown
[03:35] <ToStItOs> anyone know where jtaji is
[03:35] <Xenogia> how do i go about upgrading to the <IP_ADDRESS> kernel in ubuntu 9.04 for x-fi support?
[03:35] <apoleo12> Berzerker: I figured you dont know but... so many ppl here.. and i'd guess half are sleeping heh
[03:35] <Hermid> my laptop has an intel chipset
[03:35] <sheit> thanks guys..flash working now
[03:35] <majuk> sheit: Highfive
[03:35] <Technoviking> Xenogia: You will have to compile your own kernel
[03:35] <jedc> sheit, great, glad we could help
[03:35] <Berzerker> apoleo12, yup. :P
[03:35] <inx-mdg> Hermid: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=65680

[03:36] <Xenogia> hey technoviking how do i go about that?
[03:36] <inx-mdg> Hermid: check the first link
[03:36] <apoleo12> Berzerker: by any chance you use fast switching?
[03:36] <Berzerker> apoleo12, no, I do not.
[03:36] <sheit> say bye bye vista
[03:36] <apoleo12> no reason to eh?
[03:36] <redvamp128> I know I have to edit the fstab but which one and if it is on the sda and the second partition
[03:36] <Technoviking> Xenogia: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile

[03:36] <Xenogia> cheers

[03:36] <Hermid> i have it working with ndiswrapper
[03:36] <sheit> will adobe photoshop, illustrator or indesign run on ubuntu at all? using wine or any other program?
[03:37] <majuk> sheit: Photoshop works pretty well in Wine
[03:37] <Xenogia> sheit: use virtualbox with xp maybe
[03:37] <Hermid> it only connects to open wireless networks
[03:37] <redvamp128> sheit check the winehq application database
[03:37] <musikgoat> redvamp128: /dev/sda2 none swap sw 0 0
[03:37] <majuk> sheit: Can't speak towards other Adobe products.
[03:37] <apoleo12> hehe i understand. tho its kinda benifit me... despite of this problem... it frozed so bad after 2-3 switches.
[03:37] <inx-mdg> Hermid: that's the link for the linux driver
[03:37] <redvamp128> musikgoat:  so I would ope which fstab
[03:37] <inx-mdg> Hermid: without ndiswrapper
[03:37] <Hermid> kk
[03:37] <Hermid> thanks
[03:38] <inx-mdg> Hermid: your welcome :)
[03:38] <musikgoat> redvamp128: you should only have one,  /etc/fstab
[03:38] <sheit> thanks guys will check out info you all provided..  creative suite products last of my switch from windows
[03:38] <ignatius> is there anyone running ubuntu 9.04 willing to attach the file /boot/grub/menu.lst to an email and send it to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>please?
[03:38] <redvamp128> I just edited it once a long time ago just could not remember the where
[03:38] <Xenogia> Technoviking: I tried using kernelcheck but had some issues with it
[03:38] <musikgoat> redvamp128: ahh
[03:38] <ignatius> i may have edited that file without making backups beforehand :P
[03:38] <jedc> sheit, give gimp a shot too, people say not quite as good as photoshop, but maybe give it a shot
[03:39] <boggles> is ubuntu tweak worth the time?
[03:39] <Xenogia> i prefer gimp actually
[03:39] <Xenogia> boggles: ubuntu tweak definetly makes a lot of changes a much easier process
[03:39] <WorkoutPC> lq
[03:39] <elioenai> Before i reinstalled ubuntu, in irssi every room i was in's chat would show up, and it would say what channel it came from if it wasnt the one i was currently in.  Now it doesnt do that anymore, how can i change it back to the way it used to be?
[03:39] <jats1> ignatius: If you post your menu.lst and any errors/relevant info I think I can fix yours.
[03:39] <Technoviking> Xenogia: the x-fi are only in 2.6.31
[03:39] <peb20000> i was wondering if anyone wants a free copy of my mirc script just msg me and i will send it
[03:40] <redvamp128> isn't there a command I can check the fstab
[03:40] <Xenogia> Technoviking: thats the kernel i want, the wiki page is just a little confusing for me
[03:40] <apoleo12> peb20000: must be an exploit or something bad with it
[03:40] <apoleo12> especially when its for windows lol
[03:40] <Berzerker> afk
[03:40] <musikgoat> redvamp128: you want to see whats in it?  cat /etc/fstab
[03:40] <jedc> redvamp128, "less /etc/fstab"?
[03:41] <ignatius> Jats i'm on my phone saying this due to  destroyed grub menu lol, so that is slightly problematic
[03:41] <savanny1976u_> Thank you Berzerker, I have done that, then what's the next step?
[03:41] <sheit> jedc, I dont mind using gimp but work with other designers as i print for them and get alot of work in adobe products
[03:41] <Berzerker> savanny1976u, then run the .sh
[03:41] <Berzerker> savanny1976u, I think it extracts an .sh...
[03:41] <jedc> sheit, ah i see
[03:41] <Berzerker> savanny1976u, sudo ./filename.sh
[03:41] <brian_> does anyone know how i could add firefox bookmarks to the gnome panel
[03:41] <sheit> jedc, wish gimp/inkscape/scribus would support opening these files.
[03:41] <redvamp128> I haven't had to do that since I tried intrepid and now I am on jaunty but went back to hardy, but jaunty seems to be better -- but I thought there was a command that could check to make sure there were no errors
[03:41] <sagaci> what are the benefits or disadvantages of using apt-get compared to aptitude
[03:41] <sheit> jedc, thanks man.
[03:42] <musikgoat> redvamp128: no there isnot
[03:42] <Xenogia> sheit: if you desperatly need to use those apps, just vm windows xp and install those products.  Virtualbox 3.0.4 also has hardware acceleration.  Check it out
[03:42] <Slurpee> apt-get will get the specific version you list
[03:42] <jedc> sheit, it is usually do to the format being proprietary, i.e. not gimps fault
[03:42] <inx-mdg> elninja: set "windows auto remember" to on
[03:42] <Slurpee> aptitiude install will find the latest repo version and download
[03:42] <Berzerker> savanny1976u, follow the instructions and tell it to overwrite your xorg.conf. I'll be back in a bit.
[03:42] <redvamp128> sheit:  I would about wine and applications -- check the winehq application database
[03:42] <musikgoat> redvamp128: you can pastebin it and ask someone to review
[03:42] <apoleo12>  /wii
[03:42] <redvamp128> k
[03:42] <falcao> oi
[03:42] <sheit> jedc, def agree..
[03:42] <sheit> redvamp128, checkin out wine now.
[03:42] <apoleo12> erp
[03:42] <sheit> redvamp128, photoshop looks like a go not sure of the other two yet.
[03:43] <jats1> ignatius: ah, I can't help you then. Although I could probably hack together a working file for you if I knew 1)What drive Ubuntu's /boot is on 2) what version of the kernel you have.
[03:43] <mizerydearia> hmm, After restarting KDE environment, it seems to crash on startup.  I installed many applications since last restart (24hrs, newly installed system).  Is there a way I can diagnose what is wrong and fix it?  How can I prevent X frm starting?
[03:43] <jedc> sheit, yes, if it doesnt work that well in wine you can alway use a virtual machine to run windows
[03:43] <savanny1976u_> Which directory should use, i'm doing everything as a root.
[03:43] <DrDuck> How do I find out whether I'm running 64bit or 32bit linux?
[03:43] <redvamp128> sheit:  suggestion if you are going to run wine-- bookmark that site also ask in room #winehq plus personally I use winetricks and play on linux
[03:43] <musikgoat> redvamp128: are you sure that your swap partition is the second partition?  you should confirm with "fdisk -l /dev/sda"
[03:43] <losher> sagaci: this comes up regularly, and never converges i.e. the diffs are not worth discussing. Use whichever you prefer...
[03:43] <sheit> jedc, have separate computer with xp/vista dual boot so im safe just trying to use as much as I can via ubuntu....
[03:43] <mrwes> DrDuck, from a terminal type lsb_release -a
[03:43] <redvamp128> should be that is the hardy partition and until today
[03:44] <redvamp128> this drive was not on here
[03:44] <sheit> thanks all...
[03:44] <mizerydearia> mm, nm, I got to a terminal
[03:44] <DrDuck> mrwes: how do I reach the terminal?
[03:44] <jedc> sheit, cool cool
[03:44] <Xenogia> accessories>terminal
[03:44] <musikgoat> redvamp128: so try mounting it
[03:44] <mrwes> DrDuck, Applicaitons | Accessories | Terminal
[03:44] <redvamp128> wait it says sda5
[03:44] <ignatius> heh jats1, no worries. cheers for offering but i'll have a look at it again tomorrow
[03:44] <musikgoat> redvamp128: ahh, its a logical partition

[03:44] <musikgoat> edit /etc/fstab
[03:44] <redvamp128> sorry for the multiple
[03:45] <redvamp128> so I need to make it sda5
[03:45] <musikgoat> yes
[03:45] <apoleo12> you're on solaris??
[03:45] <DrDuck> mrwes: doesn't say whether im 64x or 32x
[03:45] <musikgoat> no that is the fdisk cold
[03:45] <musikgoat> *code
[03:45] <jedc> redvamp128, why are you mounting the swap partition? the system will use it automatically
[03:45] <redvamp128> one thing I need to do is before saving put two returns at the end of the file right
[03:46] <redvamp128> jedc it mounted the one on my Sdb but not the larger swap on Sda
[03:46] <musikgoat> redvamp128: no
[03:46] <musikgoat> redvamp128: pastebin your fstab
[03:46] <redvamp128> hold on
[03:46] <jedc> redvamp128, ah, just make sure the cursor is on the line after the last line of text is what i always do.
[03:47] <mrwes> jedc, fdisk -l always shows the swap partition
[03:47] <redvamp128> hold on am installing pastebinit
[03:47] <musikgoat> i love that util!
[03:47] <tsrk_> how can I see what ports I'm listening on?
[03:48] <redvamp128> http://pastebin.com/f4c07c5b8
[03:48] <jedc> mrwes, ?
[03:48] <redvamp128> musikgoat:  and others does that look right
[03:48] <brian_> im having a hard time  navigating in the terminal via  cd/
[03:49] <brian_> any tips or anything to help
[03:49] <redvamp128> brian_:  tab always helps with the first letters
[03:49] <musikgoat> redvamp128: it looks like you have a swap already, you're aware of that, right?
[03:49] <brian_> im trying to get into a folder called gnomolicious-0.6  in my home folder
[03:49] <redvamp128> yes but I want the one on sda also
[03:49] <musikgoat> redvamp128: ok
[03:49] <musikgoat> redvamp128: then its fine
[03:49] <inx-mdg> brian_: tab completion
[03:49] <musikgoat> !tab | brian_
[03:49] <apoleo12> mrwes: theres no -l switch for using fdisk
[03:49] <redvamp128> okay wish me luck am going to try a reboot
[03:50] <musikgoat> redvamp128: wait
[03:50] <redvamp128> K
[03:50] <musikgoat> you can "sudo swapon /dev/sda5"
[03:50] <jedc> brian_, also, you can use pushd and popd to quickly switch back to where you were (its like a stack), also .. is up a directory and . is the current directory
[03:50] <musikgoat> redvamp128: then you can "cat /proc/swapspace" to see if it mounted

[03:50] <inx-mdg> brian_: at the command line type "ho" and then press tab
[03:50] <ToStItOs> jtaji: Thanks for your help so much appreciated my modem is working:)
[03:50] <flynch> envince/gnome document viewer needs a bookmarking feature... anyone know of one? or is there another pdf reader that I should try?
[03:51] <brian_> host
[03:51] <inx-mdg> brian_: sorry , you said home folder - type g and a tab
[03:51] <redvamp128> no dice on the swapspace
[03:51] <musikgoat> redvamp128: sorry swaps
[03:51] <redvamp128> Filename				Type		Size	Used	Priority
[03:51] <redvamp128> /dev/sdb5                               partition	730916	80752	-1
[03:51] <apoleo12> what is that??
[03:51] <inx-mdg> brian_: if you have other folders in your directory starting with "g" keep pressing tab until the right filie name shows up.
[03:52] <apoleo12> where does that white blocks come from?
[03:52] <brian_> how would i nav to  cd /home/gnomolicious-0.6
[03:52] <worldwarcheese1> tuxwulf: Hey man, guess what I'm on right now?
[03:52] <redvamp128> musikgoat:  so I should change that one to 2 then
[03:52] <ToStItOs> Jtaji you are a great  help
[03:52] <tonydejoseph> Hey cheese lets get rollin here
[03:52] <inx-mdg> brian_: are you in your home directory?  type "pwd" without quotes and it should show /home/brian/
[03:53] <jedc> flynch, dont know about features, but could try epdfview, gv, okular, or qpdf, i havent used any of them though
[03:53] <megamanx1978> Hi can anyone help me with a xfce problem?
[03:53] <jats1> brian: try using 'locate' to find the precise location of a folder. Tab completion might work in your case(hit tab twice). Also 'ls' shows you what's in the current directory.
[03:53] <brian_> ya
[03:53] <musikgoat> redvamp128: the the higher priority should be on the swap on the same disk
[03:53] <jedc> !ask megamanx1978
[03:53] <jedc> !ask | megamanx1978
[03:53] <flynch> @jedc thanks for the suggestions, will check em out
[03:53] <musikgoat> redvamp128: but you only have one in that paste
[03:53] <inx-mdg> brian_: type the letters "gn" and press the tab key
[03:53] <mrwes> apoleo12, hrmm... fdisk -l (lower case L) certainly
[03:53] <boggles> i dont understand the appeal of amarok
[03:53] <boggles> songbird is so much easier to understand.
[03:54] <inx-mdg> brian_: sorry cd gn then press tab
[03:54] <ToStItOs> Jtaji: thanks again
[03:54] <jedc> megamanx1978, what is your problem?
[03:54] <megamanx1978> I lost my taskbar in xfce and I dont know how to get it back
[03:54] <redvamp128> musikgoat:  I wanted it to also use the one on the second patition of the first hard drive
[03:54] <jedc> megamanx1978, at the bottom?
[03:54] <megamanx1978> yes
[03:54] <redvamp128> musikgoat:  so that would be /dev/sda2 then right
[03:54] <musikgoat> redvamp128: try sudo swapon /dev/sda2, if thats where its at
[03:55] <brian_> i dunno nothign happens
[03:55] <musikgoat> redvamp128: but you said in fdisk that it was sda5
[03:55] <worldwarcheese1> tonydejoseph: Aright. Has anyone here had the problem where they couldn't reach Alt+F2?
[03:55] <brian_> is the home folder the same one as the one with  my name
[03:55] <redvamp128> invalid argument
[03:55] <inx-mdg> brian_: you said you are in a console/terminal or are you in the gui?
[03:55] <redvamp128> I think the swap is already on sdb5
[03:55] <worldwarcheese1> Or any of the alts to get to a command line only itnerface?
[03:55] <musikgoat> redvamp128: yes
[03:55] <brian_> terminal
[03:55] <inx-mdg> brian_: /home/Brian/
[03:56] <apoleo12> mrwes: strange that fdisk command fdisk -l returned nothing
[03:56] <musikgoat> redvamp128: if you have another swap on /dev/sdb5, you can enable that as well
[03:56] <inx-mdg> brian_: type "pwd" and tell us what is says
[03:56] <losher> redvamp128: swapon -s will verify which swaps are enabled...
[03:56] <mrwes> apoleo12, sudo fdisk -l :)
[03:56] <mrwes> heh
[03:56] <musikgoat> apoleo12: sudo before the command
[03:56] <musikgoat> thanks losher
[03:56] <brian_> home/brian
[03:56] <ctmjr> savanny1976u: sorry had to leave did you get your problem fixed?
[03:56] <apoleo12> gee would ve knew that
[03:56] <redvamp128> okay I think I got it now
[03:56] <brian_> i got it thanks
[03:56] <apoleo12> how'd I know wheitehr program needs SU??
[03:56] <jedc> megamanx1978, hmm, there should be a panel thing under settings manager i think
[03:56] <inx-mdg> brian_: now make sure where your file is by typing "locate gnome....."
[03:57] <brian_> sorry for being new
[03:57] <inx-mdg> brian_: whatever the whole name is
[03:57] <redvamp128> I changed it to sda5 (and then did the swaps) and it says good for both
[03:57] <inx-mdg> brian_: and see if it is in /home/Brian/
[03:57] <brian_> im learning a little day by day someday i will know all
[03:57] <redvamp128> musikgoat:  so I guess now I reboot to see if it automounts
[03:57] <musikgoat> redvamp128: yup
[03:57] <jedc> megamanx1978, if you cant find it you could try alt + f2 then launch xfce4-panel
[03:57] <inx-mdg> brian_: we've all been there brian_
[03:58] <jats1> brian_:doubt it :)
[03:58] <ToStItOs> Jtaji: u there
[03:58] <megamanx1978> Do you mean the right click settings menu?
[03:58] <innomen> any idea what my movies would be quiet and everything else is painfully loud? I'm using vlc and its set to 200%
[03:58] <Schmitty> xmms doesn't play mp3s....
[03:58] <ToStItOs> megaman alt and the F2 button
[03:59] <losher> brian_: they invent stuff faster than you can learn about it. Get used to it....
[03:59] <megamanx1978> Ok logging into xfce brb
[03:59] <stoner> films are less compressed than music, if your watching them off a dvd they will appear quiet
[03:59] <mneptok> Schmitty: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[04:00] <boggles> what are the extras>?
[04:00] <innomen> stoner is there a way to compensate?
[04:00] <innomen> its not off a dvd but it is a large high quality file
[04:00] <Berzerker> savanny1976u, get it fixed?
[04:00] <stoner> well you can turn up the pcm to +12 db
[04:00] <jedc> innomen, try typing alsamixer in a terminal and make sure pcm and front are up most of the way
[04:00] <innomen> stoner, how would i got about doing that in general?
[04:00] <innomen> oky
[04:00] <stoner> but remember to turn it down when you play music
[04:00] <stoner> do you know the command line
[04:01] <innomen> jedc, so that will basically just turn everything up?
[04:01] <inx-mdg> brian_: hows it coming?
[04:01] <redvamp128> musikgoat:  thanks it worked-- now it shows 2 swaps
[04:02] <losher> innomen: so it's just the one file, or is it all video files?
[04:02] <megamanx1978> ok I am back
[04:02] <jedc> innomen, yea, the volume controls the master, pcm will scale it up or down basically
[04:02] <musikgoat> redvamp128: cool
[04:02] <innomen> stoner, yes, jedc, i see no "front" but pcm is now 20% higher
[04:02] <innomen> losher i've noticed a trend but i cant say for sure, all
[04:02] <redvamp128> musikgoat:  i had done it one time but could not remember the exact command-- since I only have 256mb of memory -- it likes to use the swap
[04:02] <jedc> innomen, cool, that should help, but you might get crackling if it is at 100%
[04:02] <Schmitty> what whould happen if i put a a shell script with init6 inside of the rc.1 folder?
[04:02] <Ububegin> is there any version of matlab , which can run in ubuntu... Mostly for image purposes
[04:02] <stoner> innomen do you have master
[04:02] <innomen> jedc, noted, is there any app which could give volume controls to spesific apps maybe?
[04:03] <innomen> stoner, yes i shows a master
[04:03] <losher> innomen: do you encode them yourself, or download them?
[04:03] <innomen> it*
[04:03] <RegressLess> Ubuntu 9.04, how can I find out where my tv tuner is on my system?
[04:03] <ToStItOs> Jtaji: hey
[04:03] <stoner> turn it up
[04:03] <innomen> losher, download, stoner, i turn it up when i watch them if i turn it up now and someone emaisl me the speakers will blow up
[04:03] <stoner> if there is an equalizer on vlc you could turn up the pre amp
[04:03] <megamanx1978> I tried alt+F2 it brings up the run command what do I type now?
[04:03] <innomen> stoner, hmmm thats a good idea
[04:03] <innomen> one moment
[04:03] <jedc> innomen, im not sure, but most media playing programs have their own volume control
[04:03] <losher> RegressLess: type dmesg in a terminal window and look for it to  mention "tuner"
[04:04] <sheit> what command would be comparable to ipconfig?
[04:04] <jedc> megamanx1978, "xfce4-panel
[04:04] <musikgoat> sheit: ifconfig
[04:04] <jedc> "
[04:04] <ToStItOs> megaman I believe it was xfce-panel let me double check
[04:04] <musikgoat> sheit: for interface
[04:04] <sheit> musikgoat, thanks
[04:04] <innomen> jedc, yea vlc has one but it's maxed, however i have not tried the equlaizer thing
[04:04] <innomen> brb thanks guys
[04:04] <sheit> musikgoat, will help find wireless mac
[04:05] <musikgoat> sheit: yes, your hwaddr is your MAC
[04:05] <megamanx1978> It worked ty very much
[04:05] <sheit> musikgoat, wlan0 would be wireless adapter?
[04:05] <musikgoat> sheit: most likely
[04:05] <brian_> now im trying to install this program but i navigated to it in the terminal then did  setup.py install but it says command not found
[04:05] <sheit> musikgoat, thanks
[04:05] <musikgoat> np
[04:05] <ToStItOs> xfce4-panel
[04:06] <mardoct> If wlan0 isn't wireless, something is very wrong
[04:06] <sheit> lol. thanks mardoct.
[04:06] <megamanx1978> I was about at the point of reinstalling my os lol
[04:06] <jumpkick> how can I "arrange icons by modified date" on the desktop?
[04:06] <jedc> megamanx1978, cool, if it keeps not appearing on boot you should add it to startup applications
[04:06] <jedc> megamanx1978, on login i mean
[04:06] <tonydejoseph> Hey, So im having this NVidia Driver issue for a while. I cannot compile the kernel it says - any help? Shoot me a message, thnx
[04:07] <musikgoat> tonydejoseph: do you have build-essential installed?
[04:07] <innomen> ok the graphic equalizer thing did the trick
[04:07] <mardoct> To compile nvidia, you need to shut down the X server and run it as root
[04:07] <tonydejoseph> I do sir
[04:07] <innomen> full preamp makes it even with everything else
[04:07] <tonydejoseph> and I have shut down the x server
[04:07] <innomen> thanks guys
[04:07] <jedc> innomen, great :D
[04:07] <RegressLess> losher: it says it a lot:P
[04:07] <innomen> i'll be back, again and again
[04:07] <innomen> :)
[04:07] <tonydejoseph> and installed it correctly, It even compiles the kernel forme and tells me everything was successful
[04:07] <tonydejoseph> upon restart ittells me over and over again that I cannot compile the kernel
[04:08] <losher> RegressLess: try dmesg | egrep -i tuner
[04:08] <zetheroo1> where can one find the cause of a kernel panic?
[04:08] <mardoct> the kernel, or kernel module?
[04:08] <tonydejoseph> im sorry kernel module
[04:08] <mardoct> Can you get into a terminal?
[04:08] <spO> how do i test to see if i remember my gpg password correctly?
[04:08] <losher> RegressLess: um, what exactly do you mean by "where it is" on your system?
[04:09] <kanuha> is facebook campatable with linux?
[04:09] <mlissner> I have a partition on a drive that is showing up in fdisk as HPFS/NTFS and in gparted as ext3. Does anybody know what's going on?
[04:09] <musikgoat> sounds like dkms is getting in the way tonydejoseph, but i haven't learned the arts of dkms manipulation
[04:09] <zetheroo1> In Jaunty my CAPS light is no longer working!!!
[04:09] <mardoct> Facebook works with firefox, which works with linux.
[04:09] <zetheroo1> and my wireless sucks!
[04:09] <jedc> kanuha, facebook is a webpage, so it works exactly the same
[04:10] <tonydejoseph> hmm dkms? I haven't seen any of that, and mardoct, any ideas?
[04:10] <RegressLess> losher: I'm trying to setup mythtv. By default the capture source is looking at my webcam ( /dev/video0 ) instead of my tuner.
[04:10] <kanuha> jedc, yeah I know, facebook itself works, but mafia wars looks bad with linux browsers
[04:10] <jedc> kanuha, firefox is cross-platform
[04:10] <ToStItOs> Hexbomber what kind of network set up do you have
[04:10] <Hexbomber> There has gotta be some ubuntu network guru's here. Anyone wanna take a few minutes and try to help me setup my wired network on 9.04 :|
[04:10] <MANA> excuses me , how to change the password of evolution
[04:10] <losher> mlissner: never heard of that before...
[04:10] <mardoct> I'd try running the driver install again. I've never had any problems with it. Are you sure it's the right version for your GPU?
[04:11] <jedc> kanuha, facebook looks great for me
[04:11] <jedc> Hexbomber, it doesnt just work if you plug it in?
[04:11] <tonydejoseph> Mardoct: I went to the nvidia site and downloaded the linux 32 bit version for the mx440 like two weeks ago
[04:11] <mlissner> losher: Hmmm...it seems to be something about the disk label...I just found a thread on linuxquestions: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/after-formatiing-to-ext3-still-shows-as-ntfs-373728/
[04:11] <Berzerker> kanuha, linux browsers like firefox?
[04:11] <tonydejoseph> ive reinstalled it a number of times
[04:11] <losher> RegressLess: the tuner is usually at /dev/video0. If that's in use, I'd try /dev/video1 next....
[04:11] <kanuha> jedc, do you use the application "mafia wars" in facebook
[04:11] <losher> mlissner: interesting...
[04:11] <mardoct> There's more than one driver version, though.
[04:12] <Hexbomber> kanuha, I'm level 166 in mafia wars :|
[04:12] <jedc> kanuha, no, sorry, i dont use many facebook apps
[04:12] <sheit> how do i figure out my laptops graphics card to find driver that may run compiz?
[04:12] <musikgoat> Hexbomber: i'm a black mage in mafia wars
[04:12] <musikgoat> :p
[04:12] <tonydejoseph> right, I mean im not sure how nvidia sets up linux drivers for each separate series or if there are general series (like for the mx and fx series in mycase)
[04:12] <stlsaint> im having a hard time finding video conversion software for ubuntu...and suggestions?
[04:12] <Berzerker> sheit, what kind of laptop do you have?
[04:13] <boggles> anyone got any suggestions for my exceptionally slow graphics on my new netbook? it's beyond the fact that it's a crappy video card...
[04:13] <jedc> sheit, if you go to System->Administration->Hardware drivers it should have any proprietary drivers you can install
[04:13] <mardoct> Sheit: Ubuntu usually already detects it and you can get the driver from the restricted drivers window.
[04:13] <tonydejoseph> but im sure there are many versions of the nvidia driver, i just have an old card
[04:13] <kanuha> Hexbomber, how does mafia wars look with firefox, it doesn't render right for me
[04:13] <samosa> Hexbomber: Only? I am on level over 9000!
[04:13] <sheit> Berzerker, its a old hp...
[04:13] <Berzerker> how old?
[04:13] <samosa> 2001
[04:13] <sheit> Berzerker, pavillon ez4500
[04:13] <losher> samosa: see mlissner's msg above. I wonder if that's what happened on your drive...
[04:13] <jedc> boggles you could turn off visual effects under System->Preferences->appearance if they are enabled
[04:14] <sheit> 4 years old id say..
[04:14] <stlsaint> im having a hard time finding video conversion software for ubuntu...and suggestions?
[04:14] <musikgoat> stlsaint: ffmpeg
[04:14] <th482> can anyone tell me what are the openssh dependencies? i need to install it in a pc without internet and maybe without DVD with repos
[04:14] <jedc> stlsaint, what format are you trying to convert?
[04:14] <losher> stlsaint: convert from what to what?
[04:14] <sheit> just checkin as last time i installed drivers through there i could not get in ubutu and had to reinstall
[04:14] <th482> (im without ubuntu right now)
[04:14] <zetheroo1> sorry to say but Ubuntu is proving to be a further let-down with each new release ... :(
[04:15] <jedc> th482, apt-cache show openssh will tell you
[04:15] <kanuha> Hexbomber, how does mafia wars look with firefox, it doesn't render right for me
[04:15] <zetheroo1> Kernel Panics since Intrepid ... and no help in sight ...
[04:15] <mrwes> zetheroo1, that's your experience with it
[04:15] <RegressLess> losher: before when you told me to type those commands in a terminal it kept saying "Unable to initialise tuner". Does it mean that ubuntu isn't seeing my tuner?
[04:15] <mlissner> losher: yep. that thread fixed it. Friggin' weird.
[04:15] <mizerydearia> How can I list all packages that are installed?
[04:15] <megamanx1978> This may be a dumb question but I forgot where the startup applications menu is jedc
[04:15] <mlissner> losher: One thing fixed...
[04:15] <jedc> zetheroo1, maybe you are expecting it to be too much like windows?
[04:15] <musikgoat> zetheroo1: sound's like a hardware problem
[04:15] <th482> jedc, would you mind telling me? i'm with a Fedora and no friend online with ubuntu
[04:16] <mardoct> kanuha: If it isn't rendering correctly, it's the web browsers issue.
[04:16] <zetheroo1> musikgoat: no its an Ubuntu problem
[04:16] <nburns> Hi all - I'm running compiz with the atlantis plugin and things are looking great.  I'm looking for a way to remove my wallpaper so I can see the atlantis plugin at all times, not just when I am rotating my desktop.  I can change transparency settings on the cube, but then I lose my icons - is there a way to keep the icons and have a transparent wallpaper?
[04:16] <jedc> megamanx1978, im not sure in xfce, in gnome it is in System->preferences, so something similiar
[04:16] <mrwes> mizerydearia, sudo dpkg --get-selections > installed.software
[04:16] <jedc> megamanx1978, it might be called sessions or something
[04:16] <zetheroo1> been using Ubuntu for 3+ years ... and never had these issues ...
[04:16] <jedc> th482, yea, hold on
[04:16] <th482> jedc, thanks a lot!!
[04:16] <kanuha> mardoct, yeah, I just came here to see if anyone else was having the same problem
[04:16] <boggles> anyone got any suggestions for my exceptionally slow graphics on my new netbook? it's beyond the fact that it's a crappy video card...
[04:17] <zetheroo1> I am using a Thinkpad R61 and had Hardy running fine ...
