[04:00] <Dizkonnekted> yanick_, what version of ubuntu are you using and what browser?
[04:01] <pietro10> basically
[04:01] <Guest74478> go to System > Administration > Hardware Drivers
[04:01] <yanick_> Dizkonnekted, actually, Ubuntu One is in System > preferences > Ubuntu One. I'm using Lucid
[04:01] <Guest74478> ur welcome
[04:01] <pietro10> - I can't connect to the internet
[04:01] <Guest74478> pietro10, haha dude
[04:01] <pietro10> - I can't use wired because my modem will only let one MAC address
[04:01] <yanick_> Dizkonnekted, Ubuntu One opens Firefox for browsing, so I'm using that
[04:01] <pietro10> - Spoofing didn't work
[04:01] <pietro10> - ndiswrapper didn't wor
[04:01] <pietro10> k

[04:02] <christos`> anyone have an xbox360 quick question why on google chrome when i log in it gives me a message sayin I cant acess my account but on firefox i can?
[04:02] <mztriz> InvaderZim I give up lol I'm just going to have her get the router from upstairs so she can connect directly
[04:02] <christos`> ill give you an screenshot or something if needed
[04:02] <onetinsoldier> christos`: is your xchat not showing nicks on the right? it should be. mine does by default. i felt i needed to enlarge the sidebar that shows the nicks by dragging it in a little, but it's there
[04:02] <doug__> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1244226
[04:02] <AJ_Z0> doug__: I wouldn't want to discourage you from this learning experience, but the usual approach to solving a problem with some component not working is not riping it and some other stuff out and trying to make something else work instead
[04:02] <theadmin> christos`: JavaScript enabled on chrome?
[04:03] <Dizkonnekted> yanick_,  ahh ok, you should also find with Lucid Ubuntu one preferences, and from there you should have some extra options, im not using lucid so i dont know for sure sorry, but try options/preferences
[04:03] <doug__> AJ_Z0, well someone here point me to that link I just pasted and thatdirected me to those oss instructions
[04:03] <pietro10> so
[04:03] <Guest74478> pietro10, what r u trying to do
[04:03] <doug__> AJ_Z0, I did not know what else to try
[04:03] <pietro10> connect to the internet
[04:03] <Guest74478> pietro10, haha good one
[04:03] <dekae1> exit
[04:04] <pietro10> from a Dell Precision M6400
[04:04] <doug__> AJ_Z0, would you recommend I try to revert back to where I started? is there anything I acn try once I do that is simpler
[04:04] <Dizkonnekted> hello room, im using 9.10, ive had a look through the forums and tried some suggestions there and found that enabling KMS solved my ATI RADEON 9200 (pci) problem i was having, but then it stopped working for no apparent reason, anyone able to help?
[04:04] <yanick_> Dizkonnekted, there are no options/preferences, only three tabs : Account, Devices, Services. On "Devices" I can click on "Connect", but the button is then grayed, and nothing happens
[04:05] <pietro10> isn't there a linux version of the m6400
[04:05] <AJ_Z0> doug__: In the few fights I've had with sound the last three Ubuntu releases on various hardware, all have been solved without trying to replace pulseaudio
[04:05] <christos`> i figured it out
[04:05] <christos`> that im using the xchat-gnome doesnt show names but the other xchat does
[04:05] <christos`> lol
[04:05] <christos`> uninstalling this lol
[04:05] <AJ_Z0> doug__: Start with a clean install of the latest release and update before you start to mess with any settings
[04:05] <Guest74478> pietro10, dude
[04:05] <doug__> AJ_Z0, would you recommand attempt to revert back then?? are there otherthings I can try once I do
[04:05] <Guest74478> pietro10, disconnect ur computer and connect the other one
[04:06] <pietro10> I did
[04:06] <pietro10> the MAC address were different
[04:06] <pietro10> and my modem only lets one (fixed)
[04:06] <Guest74478> pietro10, haha owned
[04:06] <doug__> AJ_Z0, I had a clean install of 9.10, i can not instal 10.4 but that is a whole nother issue
[04:06] <pietro10> you're a real help
[04:06] <AJ_Z0> doug__: Unless you know exactly how to put back all the pieces you removed exactly how they should be, then I do not recmment doiong so
[04:06] <bazhang> Guest74478, that is not acceptable here
[04:06] <Guest74478> pietro10, can u configure the modem
[04:06] <Purpley> How do I view xspf files in vlc media player?
[04:06] <AJ_Z0> doug__: What's the issue with 10.04?
[04:06] <Dizkonnekted> yanick_, if you enter your details on the account tab after logging out from the web interface can you then log in from there?
[04:07] <yq> 卡洛斯觉得很伤感电联合国圣诞快乐hg
[04:07] <Purpley> Movie Player says it doesnt have permissons to view them
[04:07] <theadmin> Purpley: Check the permissions
[04:07] <bazhang> !cn | yq
[04:07] <pietro10> no
[04:07] <doug__> AJ_Z0, well there are instructions to do so at http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5539687&postcount=331
[04:07] <theadmin> Purpley: sudo chown $USER yourfile ; sudo chmod 600 yourfile
[04:07] <pietro10> I can only reset all settings
[04:08] <yanick_> Dizkonnekted, I can log in, out, in again.... it never ask me to add a device, or computer, or anything
[04:08] <christos`> ok now i have the right one and i can see the names woot :)
[04:08] <Guest74478> pietro10, have u tried that
[04:08] <pietro10> Dizkonnekted said not to
[04:08] <doug__> AJ_Z0, 10.4 live cd will not boot on this machine
[04:08] <yanick_> Dizkonnekted, I have nothing connected to my account, and no way to add anything
[04:08] <doug__> AJ_Z0, I do not know why
[04:08] <Purpley> theadmin, Does movie player support caching of 30,000ms?
[04:08] <pietro10> I could try it but I would still need the ethernet connected to this MAC
[04:09] <theadmin> Purpley: I dunno, I only use VLC, but if it complains about permissions - THEY are likely the problem
[04:09] <doug__> AJ_Z0, I think it is not compatable with my hardware
[04:09] <Moral___> Evening, I just updated to 10.04. I can't boot normally; however I can boot in single user mode fine. When I boot normally it hangs on "starting X display manager: slim."  dmesg and tail /var/log/message doesn't produce much informaion for me
[04:09] <Seven_Six_Two> pietro10, is it comcast or verizon?
[04:09] <pietro10> cablevision
[04:09] <dlp211> doug__: did you try sudo apt-get install upgrade?
[04:09] <Seven_Six_Two> hmm..what brand of modem?
[04:09] <onetinsoldier> doug__: video card problem? do you know what video card your system has?
[04:09] <yq> 进入中国频道
[04:10] <Guest74478> pietro10, u can bring your laptop to another router to connect it to the internet
[04:10] <AJ_Z0> doug__: The problem with these kind of resources (which is typical for Linux platforms) is that they are often of limited applicability and those limits are rarely clear. Ubuntu has very good release engineering so in almost all cases you best bet is to start with the the latest release and change as little as necessary to get the system working how you want it
[04:10] <bazhang> yq /join #ubuntu-cn
[04:10] <Guest74478> bazhang, sry who is this
[04:10] <doug__> onetinsoldier, it has intel video
[04:10] <doug__> onetinsoldier, it's a toughbook cf-29
[04:10] <ubuntu_> gg
[04:10] <AJ_Z0> doug__: Sure you didn't burn an ISO for the wrong arch (like I just did for another platform)? Try an install
[04:10] <Purpley> theadmin, Does vlc media player support xspf? If it doesnt ill be surprised considering it supports every single format I throw at it
[04:11] <theadmin> Purpley: Unsure what kind of format that even is
[04:11] <onetinsoldier> doug__: yeah.. 10.04 has some issues with some Intel Integrated gvideo card models. there are some workarounds, list here --> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes#Intel%208xx%20X%20freezes/crashes
[04:11] <teamcoltra_> My computer will let me record audio once... and then if I close out of sound recorder or whatever program
[04:11] <ubuntu_> alguien que hable castellano
[04:11] <teamcoltra_> and I try to open another program (or even open a new sound recorder) it does not record
[04:11] <bazhang> ubuntu_, /join #ubuntu-es
[04:11] <doug__> iso was good andwas i386 one
[04:12] <Dizkonnekted> yanick_, try logging out of everything, then only log in using the browser, it might be an issue of multiple log ins or something
[04:12] <doug__> disk was god workedinanother pc fine
[04:12] <onetinsoldier> AJ_Z0: you might want to have a look at the link as well, probably difficult for a newbie to work out --> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes#Intel%208xx%20X%20freezes/crashes
[04:12] <teamcoltra_> Sound Prefrences does not even recognise any sound input
[04:12] <doug__> I don't want to risk attmpting to get10.4 to workright now
[04:12] <dlp211> theadmin: its a playlist format in xml

[04:13] <Dizkonnekted> doug__, ive also had a horrible time trying to install 10.04
[04:13] <Guest74478> pietro10, use another modem to connect ur laptop
[04:13] <pietro10> I don't have one >_>?
[04:13] <Moral___> what's the channel for ubunu 10.04
[04:13] <theadmin> Moral___: This here
[04:13] <myshahrul> how can i resolve this things?
[04:13] <bazhang> Moral___, right here
[04:13] <myshahrul> hi
[04:13] <theadmin> Moral___: It's released so...
[04:13] <Moral___> okay
[04:13] <Moral___> In that case.

[04:13] <Purpley> theadmin, A type of playlist similar to xml
[04:13] <Moral___> Evening, I just updated to 10.04. I can't boot normally; however I can boot in single user mode fine. When I boot normally it hangs on "starting X display manager: slim."  dmesg and tail /var/log/message doesn't produce much informaion for me
[04:13] <FloodBot4> Moral___: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:13] <theadmin> Purpley: Hm, I didn't expirement much with playlists on VLC...
[04:13] <Moral___> FloodBot4, cool story bro.
[04:14] <theadmin> Moral___: It's a bot lol
[04:14] <Guest74478> pietro10, have you tried a cyber cafe
[04:14] <Moral___> yeah, I know.
[04:14] <pietro10> no
[04:14] <Moral___> Says bot in the name.
[04:14] <pietro10> I just got this installed now
[04:14] <pietro10> so I could test this Qt app I'm writing
[04:14] <myshahrul> hurm
[04:14] <NightDragon> sup guys
[04:14] <NightDragon> lol okay whats the ubuntu BS chatting channel?
[04:14] <Moral___> hi
[04:14] <NightDragon> i know that this is the help chan
[04:14] <dlp211> Purpley: VLC supports node item id and option...if you are throwing something else at it it might be hanging on that
[04:15] <Moral___> NightDragon, #ubuntu-social
[04:15] <bazhang> #ubuntu-offtopic NightDragon
[04:15] <Moral___> or something like that
[04:15] <Dizkonnekted> NightDragon, #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:15] <tristan3199> can i get help with my software center... it has an autorization falure...
[04:15] <dlp211> did you enter in the admin password when asked for it tristan?
[04:16] <Guest74478> pietro10, u could reset ur modem if u know how to reconfigure it
[04:16] <pietro10> >_>
[04:16] <Dizkonnekted> Does anyone know if idling is allowed in this channel?
[04:16] <itheos> how to add a partition to my user group? the partition asks for the password everytime i mount it. how to remove that?
[04:16] <gmonnie> i recently upgraded from 9.14 to 10.04LTS, is there anyway i can downgrade back to 9.14 without having to erase and reload the os entirely
[04:16] <teamcoltra_> alsa reload does not work
[04:16] <bazhang> Dizkonnekted, of course it is
[04:17] <teamcoltra_> (well it works, but did not solve my problem)
[04:17] <hiexpo> gmonnie, nope
[04:17] <gmonnie> well damn
[04:17] <dlp211> gmonnie: what is wrong with 10.04
[04:17] <Dizkonnekted> bazhang, awesome thanks, i thought the bots might be set to kick on idle
[04:17] <Purpley> dlp211, What happens is it plays the first item, without a selection and there streams so its not like once song ends the next starts
[04:18] <Guest74478> pietro10, too noob?
[04:18] <pietro10> VLC? isn't that default behavior
[04:18] <pietro10> Guest74478: I'll give it a try in a sec
[04:18] <itheos> hi everyone
[04:18] <Purpley> dlp211, Actually, I can switch using the arrow keys but is there a pop out that displays the playlist?
[04:18] <dlp211> Purpley: ill be honest i dont use xspf so all i can do is read what google spits at me
[04:19] <ausnomer> is it just me or are the playdeb and appnr servers down?
[04:19] <dsnyders> I fixed my problem.  I was getting a grub rescue prompt.  My machine puts the SATA drives after IDE drives in the /dev/sd? list, even though it boots off of SATA first.  So it was booting off of SATA1 (/dev/sdb) but grub was pointing to IDE /dev/sda1.
[04:19] <Guest74478> hey there anyone need help
[04:19] <jan-pieter> Hi everyone. I want to install 10.04 but I don't want everything on the same partition. I know I will have a dedicated /home partition. But are there other parts that may be worth putting in a different partition?
[04:19] <gmonnie> dlp211: well my laptop is overheating alot quicker, video playing is laggy as hell, and processor is peaking out like hell, didnt have those problems as much with 9.14
[04:20] <Purpley> dlp211, Know of anyway that if you were using a playlist that you can use a popout to view the list?
[04:20] <dlp211> gmonnie: well those are some serious problems
[04:20] <Guest74478> jan-pieter, y
[04:20] <gmonnie> dlp211: and im not doing anything different than i was with 9.14
[04:20] <pietro10> arrrrrggggh
[04:20] <pietro10> fuck
[04:20] <Dizkonnekted> jan-pieter, thats a personal choice i would say, you can check the ubuntu documentation for suggestions
[04:20] <pietro10> I just saw that it was not flashing the Connected light
[04:21] <bazhang> pietro10, that language is not called for
[04:21] <pietro10> but I can't put it in any tighter
[04:21] <CaptainTrek> !language
[04:21] <tertl3> pietro10: calm your horses
[04:21] <Guest74478> pietro10, ignore him hes probably just some noob
[04:21] <dlp211> Purpley: I would think prolly not...VLC is mostly no frills...but i can not say that with any definity
[04:21] <bazhang> Guest74478, stop with the name calling
[04:21] <mikubuntu> i seem to have fixed the 'broken packages' in synaptic, but open office presentation still will not launch, and i get this when i try to use the update manager: http://imagebin.ca/view/fwgZERo.html
[04:22] <christos`> ubottu,  linux isnt user friendly so why do we have to be family friendly :)
[04:22] <Purpley> dlp211, Alright well thanks anyway :)
[04:22] <christos`> haha
[04:22] <jan-pieter> Dizkonnekted, It says something about /var and something with usr/local. But with usr/local What ends up in there?
[04:22] <gmonnie> looks like im gonna have to just reinstall 9.14, aint that just peachy
[04:22] <christos`> The bot told me please dont think im intelligent rofl
[04:22] <onetinsoldier> jan-pieter: probably all you'll want is / on it's own partition, it needs to be at least 4 Gig, and then /usr and /home have their own partitions. make /usr fairly large
[04:22] <theadmin> christos`: "Linux is user friendly, it's just very choosy about its friends" - bashorg
[04:22] <dlp211> gmonnie:  you need to backup and reinstall...when you reinstall partition your HDD so that your home folder has its own partition
[04:22] <pietro10> I know ubottu used to have @t
[04:22] <pietro10> that was fun
[04:23] <Flannel> jan-pieter: If you ever install anything manually, it goes in /usr/local/*
[04:23] <christos`> Nice :)
[04:23] <dsnyders> theadmin, You beat me to it.
[04:23] <Guest74478> theadmin, haha
[04:23] <pietro10> anyway forget it, I'm going to  see if there's another distro I can install in a way like Wubi that does have these ddrivers supported
[04:23] <gmonnie> i wont worry about that, i have all my data and stuff backed up on an external
[04:23] <pietro10> because ti doesn't seem to want to recognize wireless
[04:23] <pietro10> er, wired
[04:23] <jan-pieter> If you install something from the package manager does it end up in /usr/local ?
[04:23] <dlp211> pietro10: try Mint
[04:24] <Dizkonnekted> theadmin, lol that was fast
[04:24] <Guest74478> anyone need help?
[04:24] <gmonnie> dlp211: unless you think i should do it anyway, i dont have that much experience with partitioning
[04:25] <mikubuntu> i need help, guest74478 !!!
[04:25] <mikubuntu> i seem to have fixed the 'broken packages' in synaptic, but open office presentation still will not launch, and i get this when i try to use the update manager: http://imagebin.ca/view/fwgZERo.html
[04:25] <onetinsoldier> jan-pieter: i'd make your / at least 8 Gig's, and /usr at least the same if not bigger.   installed package pretty much go into /usr  ...not /usr/local
[04:26] <CaptainTrek> so...
[04:26] <CaptainTrek> question
[04:26] <Seven_Six_Two> mikubuntu, I saw that once. I did the upgrade from terminal and everything was fine.
[04:26] <Flannel> mikubuntu: close update manager, and pastebin the output of `sudo apt-get dist-upgrade`
[04:26] <Dizkonnekted> jan-pieter, unless you have a very specific need,  i would suggest just keeping a large seperate home partition
[04:26] <dlp211> gmonnie: partitioning is easy...you just need to make sure you have a swap, a /, and /home, the partitioner will take care of the rest
[04:26] <mikubuntu> flannel, ok
[04:26] <mikubuntu> gimme minut
[04:26] <tristan3199> can anybody tell me how to fix my ubuntu software center
[04:26] <Guest74478> mikubuntu, click Partial Upgrade
[04:27] <CaptainTrek> i cp -rf 'd my /home folder to a separate ext3 partition, shou;d I assume everything's copied except for the "special files" that it says cannot be copied over as sudo?
[04:27] <blankthemuffin> maybe if you were to tell us what is wrong with it tristan3199
[04:27] <jan-pieter> Ok thanks. I just like to fiddle around with my pc
[04:27] <CaptainTrek> assume i used sudo
[04:27] <dlp211> gmonnie: swap should be abouit 512. id give 10 gigs to / and the rest to /home...just make sure you save all files to /home
[04:27] <Dizkonnekted> jan-pieter,  best way to learn ;)
[04:27] <Flannel> CaptainTrek: There's a better way to do that, with cpio and find: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome
[04:28] <IMTheNachoMan> anyone here familiar withs horewall?
[04:28] <Flannel> CaptainTrek: You'll know for next time, if nothing else
[04:28] <IMTheNachoMan> shorewall?
[04:28] <dlp211> tristan2199: what is wrong with it?
[04:28] <jan-pieter> Oh one more thing. Is it possible to move something to a dedicated partition after I isntalled ubuntu?
[04:28] <CaptainTrek> Flannel: again, i'm just trying to get all the files off of it, not the special files.  Can I assume that everything was copied over?
[04:29] <CaptainTrek> Flannel: its not to make a separate home partition, just to get the files
[04:29] <tristan3199> having a problem with authoriation... it says autorization failed
[04:29] <tristan3199> it asks for my password.. i give it.. then it says...
[04:29] <CaptainTrek> Flannel: you alive?
[04:30] <mikubuntu> flannel , and guest74478 , i did ' sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ' in the terminal and its updating, but i won't know if it completes for a while on this slow dsl i have .. thx
[04:30] <tertl3> he gine
[04:30] <dlp211> tristan3199: are you sure you are giving it the admin password
[04:30] <Flannel> CaptainTrek: sure.  Make sure you've got whatever dotfiles you want to copy in your new folder too, (if you've got any dotfiles, its safe to assume they're all there)
[04:30] <Dizkonnekted> ok im out for now - later guys!
[04:30] <Flannel> mikubuntu: That's fine, I'll be here a while
[04:30] <CaptainTrek> Flannel: i'm assuming that if I actually ran cp -rf, it would get everything, no?
[04:31] <Flannel> CaptainTrek: Did you cp -f /home/you? or /home/you/* or what?
[04:31] <mikubuntu> flannel , thx , it was about 460 mb and its now at 4% and counting (slowly)
[04:31] <CaptainTrek> Flannel: cp -rf /home/me
[04:31] <Guest74478> jan-pieter, not really
[04:31] <Flannel> CaptainTrek: then yes, it ought to have got everything
[04:31] <onetinsoldier> tristan3199: can you do a couple terminal commands for us? i really don't know if we'll find the problem... but let us see the output of --> cat /etc/hostname
[04:31] <tristan3199> an application is attemting to perform an action the requires priveleges... authentication is required to perform this action
[04:32] <CaptainTrek> Flannel from a mountpoint first, since I loaded everything on my 10.04 partition (i was cping from a 9.04 partition to an external hard drive)
[04:32] <CaptainTrek> Flannel: ^^^
[04:32] <tristan3199> yes please
[04:32] <christos`> !users
[04:32] <onetinsoldier> tristan3199: then, the second line from --> head -n 2 /etc/hosts
[04:32] <christos`> !user
[04:32] <Flannel> CaptainTrek: What?  Actual folder location doesn't matter
[04:32] <christos`> !op
[04:32] <CaptainTrek> Flannel: okay, wanted to make sure
[04:32] <Flannel> CaptainTrek: If I think I understood what you were asking
[04:32] <christos`> !help
[04:32] <Flannel> christos`: Yes?
[04:32] <CaptainTrek> Flannel: yes you got what I meant.  ALERT: BOT ABUSE!
[04:33] <xangua> christos`: you can play with the bot in private
[04:33] <Guest74478> christos`, quiet pls
[04:33] <christos`> Flannel, i forgot how to use commands just messing around sorry :(
[04:33] <christos`> Sorry guys :(
[04:33] <nhandler> christos`: Please experiment with the bots via PM
[04:33] <onetinsoldier> christos`: here's one for ya.. :-)
[04:33] <onetinsoldier> !botabuse | christos`
[04:33] <CaptainTrek> Flannel: any way to check if everything was copied?  some kind of filestructure comparer or something?
[04:33] <Guest74478> christos`, np nub
[04:34] <onetinsoldier> lol
[04:34] <christos`> dang ubuntu got channels for everything
[04:34] <CaptainTrek> !ot | christos`
[04:34] <Flannel> CaptainTrek: ls -lR /path/to/original > filename1.txt ; ls -lR /path/to/new > filename2.txt; diff filename1.txt filename2.txt
[04:34] <onetinsoldier> christos`: you'll get the same info from the bot if you use the /msg ubottu <term>   ...but in a pm from the bot ;-)
[04:35] <Flannel> CaptainTrek: that'd certainly work
[04:35] <tristan3199> sorry... can someone pm me... i cant get to scroll up....
[04:35] <Spunkym3nkey> what's a good cheap VPS server company that lets you choose ubuntu for OS that is not so expensive
[04:35] <jan-pieter> Guest77478: And what is just make a new partition for lets say /usr/something/ copy everything from that folder to the new partition and edit the fstab file to mount the new partition at /usr/something/ ?
[04:36] <onetinsoldier> tristan3199: let us see the output of --> cat /etc/hostname
[04:36] <onetinsoldier> tristan3199: then, the second line from --> head -n 2 /etc/hosts
[04:37] <tristan3199> one moment
[04:37] <onetinsoldier> ok
[04:37] <bondiblueos9> I'm trying to ssh into an account that has no password (it is blank), but my attempts keep getting rejected.  Is there any way to fix this (without changing the remote system)?
[04:38] <jan-pieter> Guest74478: And what is just make a new partition for lets say /usr/something/ copy everything from that folder to the new partition and edit the fstab file to mount the new partition at /usr/something/ ?
[04:38] <Moral___> wtf
[04:38] <Moral___> bondiblueos9, why would
[04:38] <Moral___> lol wut

[04:38] <tristan3199> tristan3199: then, the second line from --> head -n 2 /etc/hosts
[04:38] <tristan3199> sorry
[04:38] <bondiblueos9> Moral___: I'm trying to ssh into my father's computer under his account on which he has absolutely refused to set a password
[04:38] <tristan3199> tristan@ubuntu:~$ cat/etc/hostname
[04:38] <CaptainTrek> Flannel: i'm assuming the command might take a while to run?
[04:39] <tristan3199> bash: cat/etc/hostname: No such file or directory
[04:39] <CaptainTrek> put a space between cat and /
[04:39] <CaptainTrek> tristan3199:  ^^^
[04:39] <bastid_raZor> bondiblueos9: i think by default ssh rejects blank password logins
[04:39] <Moral___> bondiblueos9, k 1 sec
[04:39] <onetinsoldier> tristan3199: you made a typo there.. forgot a 'space'
[04:39] <CaptainTrek> onetinsoldier: i said that xD
[04:39] <Moral___> bondiblueos9, sshd_config permitblankpasswords make sure that's set
[04:39] <tristan3199> tristan@ubuntu:~$ cat /etc/hostname

[04:39] <onetinsoldier> CaptainTrek: ok, u beat me to it :)
[04:39] <CaptainTrek> Flannel: can that command you gave me take a while to run?
[04:39] <Flannel> Moral___: Stop.
[04:40] <Moral___> Flannel, fuck off I typed 3 lines, 1 on accident.
[04:40] <CaptainTrek> !language | Moral___
[04:40] <Moral___> inb4 ban
[04:40] <Flannel> CaptainTrek: Probably.  It's going to list every file (twice, old and new) and then diff them.
[04:40] <tristan3199> tristan@ubuntu:~$ cat /etc/hostname
[04:40] <tristan3199> ubuntu
[04:40] <CaptainTrek> how can I tell if there's a difference?
[04:40] <CaptainTrek> will it tell me?
[04:40] <CaptainTrek> Flannel: ^^
[04:40] <tristan3199> is this correct
[04:40] <CaptainTrek> tristan3199:  what exactly are you trying to do?
[04:41] <CaptainTrek> tristan3199:  are you on the livecd?
[04:41] <Flannel> CaptainTrek: Yeah, it'll either exit with no output (if the diffs are identical) or it'll display (in an awkward format) what the differences are.
[04:41] <CaptainTrek> its displayed EVERYTHING in the ls's
[04:41] <CaptainTrek> is that normal?
[04:41] <Flannel> CaptainTrek: If it does the latter, there are other programs we can use to make it a bit friendlier
[04:41] <CaptainTrek> Flannel: my fault for not highlighting nyou on those 2
[04:41] <tristan3199> installed 9.10 from usb then upgraded... thats where the problem with software center began
[04:41] <dsnyders> Hi all!  Is there a post-install guide to tweaking ubuntu?
[04:42] <jan-pieter> If i want to put something on a dedicated partition after I installed ubuntu. For example I want to move /var to a dedicated partition. Can I just create the partition. Copy everything of /var to that partition and edit fstab so that the new partition gets mounted at /var ?
[04:42] <CaptainTrek> Flannel: okay, can I get some help with that?
[04:42] <starghost> Running virtual box here, and trying to gdm stop so I can install my nvidia driver. X closes but I don't go to a command prompt... any way to fix this?
[04:42] <dlp211> tristan3199:  see if you can run gksudo from the command line...then run gedit when it asks what you want to run
[04:42] <wildbat> jan-pieter, you may wanna to clear the current /var
[04:43] <Moral_> starcoder|Q, ctrl-alt-f6
[04:43] <Moral_> starcoder|Q, ctrl-alt-f6
[04:43] <Moral_> that will drop you to a terminal
[04:43] <jan-pieter> So that could work?
[04:43] <wildbat> jan-pieter, yes
[04:43] <jan-pieter> thanks xD
[04:43] <tristan3199> asked for my password and then it opened
[04:44] <onetinsoldier> CaptainTrek: re: tristan3199 he's got a problem with 'Software Center'. he says he puts in his password when prompted, but gets -->an application is attempting to perform an action the requires privileges... authentication is required to perform this action
[04:44] <dlp211> tristan3199: ok so its not a problem with your admin passworkd
[04:44] <CaptainTrek> onetinsoldier:  and...?  might be because of the upgrade
[04:44] <Flannel> CaptainTrek: This is a live system?
[04:44] <CaptainTrek> Flannel: no, 10.04, data's on other partitions
[04:45] <onetinsoldier> CaptainTrek: he's running an upgrade? i missed that, but yeah. if i had nickel for sometime everyone had a issue due to upgrading :-)
[04:45] <CaptainTrek> onetinsoldier:  he said he installed 9.04, then upgraded AFAIK
[04:45] <CaptainTrek> er 9.10
[04:45] <tristan3199> its a duel boot laptop...  live system meaning
[04:45] <onetinsoldier> CaptainTrek: ahh, roger that
[04:45] <CaptainTrek> Flannel: i've got a Windows program I could use xD
[04:45] <CaptainTrek> i dont mean to be blasphemous, just saying
[04:46] <Ins0mniac> Hey guys. Could anyone tell me how to downgrade my kernel?
[04:46] <tristan3199> what exactly is a live system...
[04:46] <onetinsoldier> Ins0mniac: it's availabe in your repo right now? the one you want to use?
[04:46] <tristan3199> it is installed..
[04:46] <Ins0mniac> It's one version down, yes.
[04:46] <bastid_raZor> Ins0mniac: use synaptic and search for linux-image .. install an older version
[04:46] <Ins0mniac> bastid_raZor, I tried that ..
[04:47] <onetinsoldier> Ins0mniac: install it and reboot should be about all you'd normally need to do
[04:47] <onetinsoldier> Ins0mniac: when you reboot, it should be listed as a bootable kernel in grub
[04:47] <bastid_raZor> Ins0mniac: grub will boot the newest kernel, either uninstall the newest or press shift after POST to change which kernel to boot into
[04:47] <justin22885> can any of you stream music to an xbox 360?
[04:47] <Flannel> CaptainTrek: Ah, alright.  Well, the 'easiest' way to view it is to install a GUI diff tool, meld is one
[04:47] <Ins0mniac> now I'm confused. Apparently it reset the version I forced
[04:48] <onetinsoldier> Ins0mniac: what did you do exactly?
[04:48] <CaptainTrek> Flannel: ah, okay, meld?
[04:48] <Ins0mniac> Synaptic - searched for linux-image, and reset all the 2.6.32-22.33 to 2.6.32-21.32
[04:48] <CaptainTrek> Flannel: sudo apt-get install meld?
[04:48] <Flannel> CaptainTrek: Yeah, sudo apt-get install meld, and then use it (and it's just like winmerge or whatever you've used)
[04:48] <CaptainTrek> ah yeah its winmerge that I was goin to use xD
[04:48] <tristan3199> anymore advice?
[04:48] <starghost> All that work and this darn nvidia the nvidia site recommended isn't even the right one...
[04:49] <Flannel> CaptainTrek: In fact, you could probably use that tool to explore the filestructure too, since a lot of those tools can do that, but for non-trivial trees, I imagine it becomes unweildy
[04:49] <onetinsoldier> Ins0mniac: ok, then installed? did it remove your current running kernel? i doubt it would have let you do that... unless perhaps, you really did type in a 'force' option somewhere
[04:49] <dlp211> tristan3199: temp solution...you can use sudo apt-get from the command line
[04:49] <CaptainTrek> flannel: its reading the two text files now
[04:49] <CaptainTrek> flannel: how long could it take to read it?
[04:50] <Ins0mniac> Package > Force Version. It allows me to select between 'lucid' and 'lucid-updates.' Which, the one that came with the lucid disk was the one I'm trying to revert to (program compatability issues)
[04:50] <CaptainTrek> ah its computing differences now
[04:50] <CaptainTrek> xD
[04:50] <Flannel> CaptainTrek: There's a line in each of those files for every file you've got
[04:50] <Ins0mniac> It did install, and it was supposed to remove the kernel, but I guess it didn't. When I reboot, I do not get an option for selecting a kernel version, which confused me.
[04:50] <punkmexic> hello i need that when ubuntu is starting to do this sudo gedit /usr/sbin/update-initramfs and add this "exit 0 on one of the lines of update-initramfs is it possible??
[04:50] <CaptainTrek> Flannel: 140,000+ files xD
[04:50] <onetinsoldier> Ins0mniac: what do you get from? --> dpkg -l linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic
[04:50] <tristan3199> sudo apt-get? what do i want to get?
[04:51] <starghost> Anyone with a Nvidia geforce also having trouble finding a working driver? ;P
[04:51] <CaptainTrek> starghost: no?  look under Administration > Hardware Drivers
[04:52] <Ins0mniac> onetinsoldier, http://pastebin.com/xJzEfXdb
[04:52] <starghost> Yeah no
[04:52] <Ins0mniac> It looks like, after going through (once again) it is apparently uninstalled.
[04:52] <onetinsoldier> Ins0mniac: yes.. it's uninstalled
[04:52] <dlp211> tristan3199: well you obviously need something from the software center...instead use apt-get to retrieve the package
[04:53] <onetinsoldier> Ins0mniac: what do you get from? --> uname -r
[04:53] <tristan3199> can i use sudo apt-get to install a "fresh copy" of the software
[04:53] <Ins0mniac> $ uname -r
[04:53] <Ins0mniac> 2.6.32-22-generic
[04:53] <onetinsoldier> oh boy
[04:53] <Flannel> tristan3199: of which software?
[04:53] <tristan3199> reinstall my software center mabey?
[04:54] <starghost> Running ubuntu in virtual box so the hardware detect isn't accurate.
[04:54] <tristan3199> or is it more complicated than that?
[04:54] <onetinsoldier> ok people, what happens if you forcefully uninstall a current running kernel? anything bad?
[04:54] <Ins0mniac> lol
[04:54] <tristan3199> my authorization seems ok in everything else like downloading from the net and running sudo ect..
[04:54] <Ins0mniac> I just did a few changes. that's why it probably says that
[04:54] <Ins0mniac> I need to reboot.
[04:55] <Flannel> tristan3199: Hmm, you could, but I don't think that'd solve that issue.  Lets try something else instead: `gksu software-center` and lets see what it says
[04:55] <Ins0mniac> if anything I can go into grub and reset a few things and fix stuff, lol. onetinsoldier, thanks for the help, I think it should be fixed now, if everything worked just fine.
[04:55] <onetinsoldier> Ins0mniac: you might want to make positive the 2.6.32-21 is installed
[04:55] <Ins0mniac> ii  linux-image-2. 2.6.32-21.32   Linux kernel image for version 2.6.32 on x86
[04:55] <Ins0mniac> looks like it.
[04:55] <hiexpo> onetinsoldier, lol
[04:56] <tristan3199> tristan@ubuntu:~$ gksu software-center
[04:56] <tristan3199> /usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/apt/aptcache.py:40: GtkWarning: gtk_container_add: assertion `GTK_IS_CONTAINER (container)' failed
[04:56] <tristan3199>   gtk.main_iteration()
[04:56] <Assid> okay whose in charge of the site?
[04:56] <Ins0mniac> anyways thanks onetinsoldier
[04:56] <Flannel> Assid: "the site"?
[04:56] <Assid> yeah ubuntu.com
[04:56] <CaptainTrek> Flannel: how can I make it do a comparison on the folders?
[04:56] <onetinsoldier> Ins0mniac: ok, you might be ok to reboot. as bastid_raZor said, you might need to press shift after POST to change which kernel to boot into
[04:56] <Ins0mniac> probably a bunch of people, Assid
[04:56] <Assid> http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download -- hit create usb .. and show me how
[04:56] <Assid> the link from pendrivelinux dont work
[04:57] <Assid> it opens the site
[04:57] <onetinsoldier> Ins0mniac: ok, good luck :)
[04:57] <Assid> doesnt download the exe
[04:57] <Flannel> CaptainTrek: I don't know, I'm not terribly familiar with meld, I imagine you hit 'open' and then direct it to each folder
[04:57] <Ins0mniac> thanks :) i probably will need it, knowing my luck
[04:57] <Ins0mniac> thankfully this is a new install haha
[04:57] <onetinsoldier> hehe
[04:57] <Predaking> I have an nVidia ION gpu. I use the proprietary gpu drivers from www.nvidia.com. Is there any way to keep the updated automatically?
[04:57] <onetinsoldier> Ins0mniac: ahh, i hear that
[04:57] <CaptainTrek> mmkay
[04:57] <CaptainTrek> its being evil
[04:58] <tristan3199> anyone understand what that means??
[04:58] <onetinsoldier> hiexpo: :-)
[05:00] <blankthemuffin> install them from the package manager Predaking
[05:00] <Predaking> are they the same drivers?
[05:01] <blankthemuffin> depends which version you install
[05:01] <tristan3199> tristan@ubuntu:~$ gksu software-center
[05:01] <tristan3199> /usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/apt/aptcache.py:40: GtkWarning: gtk_container_add: assertion `GTK_IS_CONTAINER (container)' failed
[05:01] <tristan3199>   gtk.main_iteration()
[05:01] <tristan3199> what does this mean?
[05:02] <blankthemuffin> it means something is very borken
[05:02] <tristan3199> do you have glue and tape??
[05:02] <tristan3199> can you help me fix it?
[05:02] <onetinsoldier> sounds like it might be a python package
[05:04] <deostroll> can't remove menu item from Applications Menu...how to remove it?
[05:04] <tristan3199> what is python? a kernel?
[05:04] <onetinsoldier> tristan3199: what do you get from? --> ls -l /usr/bin/python

[05:05] <deostroll> xangua, thanx
[05:05] <onetinsoldier> tristan3199: python is a programming language, an 'interpreted' language
[05:05] <Flannel> tristan3199: That file belongs to software-center, so lets go ahead and try removing and reinstalling.
[05:05] <tristan3199> cool
[05:05] <deostroll> is there a twitter client much llike tweetdeck, but which isn't AIR based?
[05:05] <xangua> deostroll: i believe 8.10 has no longer support, why no update¿
[05:05] <Flannel> tristan3199: sudo apt-get purge software-center, and then sudo apt-get install software-center ubuntu-desktop
[05:05] <onetinsoldier> tristan3199: well, that looks ok to me. looks like mine. i don't know what's wrong, sorry
[05:06] <xangua> deostroll: gwibber comes as default in ubuntu lynx
[05:06] <deostroll> xangua, i am downloading the alternate jaunty to upgrade
[05:06] <deostroll> will take days :(
[05:06] <deostroll> lynx is the latest one right?
[05:07] <Flannel> deostroll: 10.04, yes.
[05:07] <tristan3199> doing now....
[05:07] <deostroll> does gwibber have url shortening features like tweetdeck...?
[05:08] <xangua> deostroll: yes
[05:08] <xangua> deostroll: why not then download 10.04 lucid lynx¿
[05:08] <mikubuntu> 64% .. slowest computer in town
[05:08] <deostroll> i'll upgrade to it...eventually
[05:09] <tristan3199> is this normal.... After this operation, 1,782kB of additional disk space will be used.

[05:15] <bttf> ohhhh
[05:15] <Christos`> couldn't you just go to youtube and it will ask to install missing plugins?
[05:15] <Christos`> i think that did it for me
[05:15] <bttf> now Flannel , say i get on a live CD session... and set up a space on the drive in FAT32, and another partition for windows xp
[05:15] <bttf> could both Windows and Ubuntu use that partition of FAT32?

[05:17] <sontek_> its the only 2 things she uses the computer for, and worked fine in windows

[05:17] <blankthemuffin> welcome to adobe flash on linux sontek_
[05:17] <Flannel> bttf: They would both be able to access that, yes.
[05:17] <bttf> but could win xp and ubuntu both put data into a partition
[05:18] <xangua> sontek_: flash is buggy in linux and mac
[05:18] <bttf> coooool
[05:18] <onetinsoldier> Flannel: can you help? does tristan3199's hostname look ok in both those files i had him/her display up above? so that his/her 'sudo' won't have any issues? looks ok i think
[05:18] <Flannel> bttf: Yeah.  You don't want to have your homedir on there though, since Fat doesn't do permissions and stuff
[05:18] <techzg> just a compliment to the ubuntu community, latest version of Ubuntu is awesome. Kudos to the entire team & community.
[05:18] <onetinsoldier> tristan3199: yes, that was what i wanted to see. looks ok i think
[05:18] <Flannel> onetinsoldier: tristan3199 Doesn't have a hostname issue, sudo is working just fine
[05:18] <tristan3199> i just uninstalled software center and then reinstalled to get the same error.. it only progresses to 3 percent and responds with that errror again
[05:19] <onetinsoldier> Flannel: roger. just needed to make sure that wasn't the issue
[05:19] <sontek_> blankthemuffin: xangua: Yeah, its disappointing because the 2 things she does wont work, so I have to revert her back to windows :P
[05:19] <mikubuntu> flannel, hmmm, not there, i'll have to check into it after this update (at 75%) arrrrrrrggggggghhhhhh
[05:19] <kaushal> at the status bar, there is alway the progress bar moving forth even when there is no new messages
[05:19] <Christos`> do i have to reinstall ubuntu everytime they make a new version?
[05:19] <Flannel> Christos`: No, you can upgrade from version to version
[05:19] <kaushal> I am using Thunderbird 3.0.4 on Ubuntu 10.04
[05:19] <xangua> Christos`: no
[05:19] <blankthemuffin> complain to adobe sontek_ :)
[05:19] <IMTheNachoMan> would anyone know why my server install is not broadcasting my hostname to my router?
[05:20] <tristan3199> can i make an exeption that allows software center to run without authorization or something
[05:20] <mikubuntu> christos, but it's a good idea to make copies of new distribution versions for evangelical purposes (turning your friends on to linux)
[05:21] <bttf> Flannel, just found this program, idk if you heard it, called FSDriver
[05:21] <onetinsoldier> Christos`: no, but i'd recommend it
[05:21] <tristan3199> what software is giving me that password screen?
[05:21] <bttf> that allows windows to read from Ext2 type partition
[05:21] <bttf> so i can have a giant shared data partition with /home that win xp  can use
[05:21] <bttf> just sharin the info
[05:22] <famas> it sounds like a security hole
[05:22] <Flannel> !ext3 | bttf
[05:22] <Flannel> bttf: Over the years its either been good or has many issues, depending on who you ask ;)
[05:22] <bttf> lol thanks
[05:22] <tristan3199> is ext3 better than ntfs
[05:22] <kaushal> checking in again for my query
[05:23] <Christos`> onetinsoldier, im new to ubuntu so i have the newest version i just installed it 2 days ago
[05:23] <famas> at least, ext3 doesn't need to defrag
[05:23] <onetinsoldier> Christos`: roger. i saw that from earlier
[05:23] <tristan3199> is my software center doomed?
[05:23] <EmoSpice> I'm looking to use the alternate install ISO from a USB stick to install on my netbook. I've gotten the USB to boot, but it fails to find the CDROM (because I don't have one on the netbook). I suppose that I can mount the ISO, but I have no idea where the installer expects it to mount. Could anyone point me in the right direction?
[05:23] <famas> what's a software center?
[05:24] <famas> do you mean... net install?
[05:24] <bazhang> famas, no.
[05:24] <EmoSpice> famas, no - the alternate install ISO
[05:24] <EmoSpice> the non-'live' version
[05:24] <tristan3199> whats net installl?
[05:24] <tristan3199> lol
[05:24] <onetinsoldier> famas: up top in gnome menu.. Applications --> look at very bottom 'Software Center'
[05:24] <famas> ...
[05:24] <bazhang> famas, its a place to install software from
[05:24] <onetinsoldier> famas: up top in gnome menu.. Applications --> look at very bottom 'Ubuntu* Software Center'
[05:24] <Sasquatch7> EmoSpice: you're able to load the usb on the netbook?
[05:24] <famas> yso, it's just a nas
[05:25] <famas> s/yso/so
[05:25] <EmoSpice> Sasquatch7, Yes - I can get the USB drive to boot.
[05:25] <onetinsoldier> famas: a nice fancy 'synaptic' if you will
[05:26] <famas> by the way, i can use a big external hdd for the software center
[05:26] <famas> hahaha
[05:26] <bazhang> famas, did you have a support question?
[05:26] <tristan3199> does synaptic have anything to assist me with my problem
[05:26]  * famas saw a hog
[05:27] <tristan3199> different authorization package or something.. i dont really know what i need to do..
[05:27] <bazhang> famas, this is a support channel. chat in #ubuntu-offtopic please
[05:27] <sweb> i need a editor that support show special char such as UTFBOM , EOL and etc such as notepad++
[05:27] <EmoSpice> tristan3199: What is your problem exactly?
[05:27] <bazhang> tristan3199, are you able to normally install software from the command line, or synaptic package manager?
[05:27] <EmoSpice> sweb: try geany, I think it's got that support
[05:28] <tristan3199> yeah bazhang
[05:28] <bazhang> tristan3199, is this a recent install? have you gotten everything up to date?
[05:28] <sweb> EmoSpice, i'm web developer it's a big shame that net beans and eclipse have not this simple option
[05:28] <tristan3199> emospice: my software center gives me an error about my authorization .. let me find it again?
[05:28] <onetinsoldier> he did an 'upgrade'.. from 9.04 to 9.10 to 10.04 i think
[05:29] <tristan3199> correct onetinsoldier
[05:29] <onetinsoldier> roger
[05:29] <bazhang> tristan3199, what does whoami say in the terminal
[05:29] <EmoSpice> sweb: I understand - geany is super useful for web development (imo). It's the only IDE I use regularly.
[05:29] <tristan3199> tristan is the response
[05:30] <bazhang> tristan3199, tried updating your packages list and then upgrading all possible packages?
[05:30] <tristan3199> using update manager?
[05:30] <Sasquatch7> Anyone know how to open two windows in gedit, rather than two tabs?
[05:30] <bazhang> tristan3199, how about the command line: sudo apt-get update  followed by sudo apt-get upgrade
[05:31] <danLee> is there anyone that might be able to help me install ubuntu?
[05:31] <danLee> i'm experiencing difficulties
[05:31] <EmoSpice> danLee: What issues are you having? you've told us nothing.
[05:32] <onetinsoldier> danLee: what kind? what is your video card make/model?
[05:32] <tristan3199> bazhang: did that.. with a few errors tho.. is that normal
[05:32] <danLee> one sec
[05:32] <bttf> how good is ubuntu at reading from an NTFS file system?
[05:32] <tristan3199> Err http://security.ubuntu.com lucid-security Release.gpg
[05:32] <tristan3199>   Something wicked happened resolving 'security.ubuntu.com:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname)
[05:32] <bazhang> tristan3199, please paste.ubuntu.com with the errors and link the pastebin here
[05:33] <EmoSpice> bttf: ntfs-3g is decent, but I'd avoid using ntfs heavily if possible.
[05:33] <FireCrotch> bttf: assuming that the filesystem isn't corrupted, perfectly
[05:33] <bazhang> bttf, wubi install?
[05:33] <tristan3199> sorry
[05:33] <danLee> Ubuntu is freezing while booting from the USB drive. After the selection menu.
[05:33] <bazhang> bttf, oh you mean a shared ntfs with windows and ubuntu
[05:33] <danLee> I have a Toshiba netbook Satellite T115-S110
[05:34] <bazhang> danLee, created with unetbootin?
[05:34] <tristan3199> should i paste in my whole terminal screen just to show what i see?
[05:35] <bazhang> tristan3199, dont paste in this channel; paste.ubuntu.com please
[05:35] <EmoSpice> tristan3199: at pastebin.org, yes
[05:35] <tristan3199> i know
[05:35] <bazhang> sure
[05:35] <EmoSpice> danLee: how did you create the USB drive?
[05:35] <danLee> created with Universal-USB-installer
[05:35] <EmoSpice> ah
[05:35] <bazhang> danLee, sounds like a bad usb 'burn'
[05:36] <EmoSpice> danLee: are you coming from windows?
[05:36] <danLee> yea
[05:36] <danLee> but
[05:36] <bazhang> unetbootin has a windows package as well
[05:36] <danLee> when i run it on my desktop
[05:36] <danLee> it works
[05:36] <EmoSpice> strange
[05:36] <danLee> when i run on laptop/netbook
[05:36] <danLee> it freezes on the Ubuntu loading screen
[05:37] <EmoSpice> try...the 'noacpi' grub option
[05:37] <danLee> I can access the main menu
[05:37] <EmoSpice> but that'd be...useless on a netbook
[05:37] <Sasquatch7> is it ok to install kate onto a gnome version of ubuntu?
[05:37] <chilli0> Hi , How can I automagicly unlock keyring on login? 10.04
[05:37] <onetinsoldier> Sasquatch7: sure
[05:37] <Sasquatch7> onetinsoldier: cheers.
[05:37] <tristan3199> http://paste.ubuntu.com/441604/
[05:37] <EmoSpice> Sasquatch7: Yes - but it'd eat more memory. If that's a concern, you might want to look into other editors
[05:37] <onetinsoldier> Sasquatch7: :-)
[05:38] <mikubuntu> flannel, update finished, but have this message at ending is it significant? :: Errors were encountered while processing:  /var/cache/apt/archives/musescore-common_0.9.6~beta1+dfsg-0ubuntu1_all.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) mikubuntu@mikubuntu-laptop:~$
[05:38] <danLee> hm
[05:38] <danLee> should i try unetbootin?
[05:39] <tristan3199> how can i update python?
[05:39] <EmoSpice> danLee: I would, but I can't guarantee that it'll make a difference
[05:39] <bazhang> danLee, certainly worth a try, or the bootoptions suggested above
[05:39] <tristan3199> or would that help?
[05:39] <bazhang> !bootoptions
[05:40] <EmoSpice> what is the bot here called? Is it a derivative of Phrik, the bot on the Arch IRC channel?
[05:40] <onetinsoldier> EmoSpice: the bot is called ubottu
[05:40] <EmoSpice> clever
[05:40] <onetinsoldier> !botsnack
[05:41] <bttf> bazhang, sorry i stepped out for a bit.. but yes, i was talking about a shared ntfs with ubuntu and windows.. have you had experience in the area?
[05:41] <danLee> thanks guys
[05:41] <bazhang> bttf, reading and writing to it no problem, I have a 1TB one that I share between the two OS
[05:42] <bazhang> tristan3199, could we take a look at your sources.list ?   cat /etc/apt/sources.list  ---->paste.ubuntu.com
[05:42] <EmoSpice> I find it easier to have a shared ext2/3 drive that I store all of my media on and is world readable on Linux (since on windows, the driver can't maintain permissions)
[05:42] <bttf> wow
[05:42] <bttf> bazhang, did you have to do anything special with ubuntu?
[05:43] <bazhang> bttf, nope
[05:43] <randerzander> Hey guys, I'm following the kernel compiling instructions at http://blog.avirtualhome.com/2010/05/05/how-to-compile-a-ubuntu-lucid-kernel/ ..   I'm just removing my old 9.04 install.  How can I update grub2's list?
[05:45] <onetinsoldier> randerzander: i haven't compiled a custom kernel in a long time or i'd try and help. but i'd definitely like to recommend you use the 'kernel-package' program to package it up into a .deb
[05:46] <EmoSpice> randerzander: I'll let someone else help you, I thought these were going to be rather generic instructions, but they're very ubuntu specific - and I know next to nothing about APT or the like (I'm primarily an Arch user_
[05:46] <wombatman> I can't seem to upgrade to 10.04 update manager doesn't show the option and do-release-upgrade returns no new release found
[05:46] <CaptainTrek> to all: how can I update grub2's list?
[05:46] <wombatman> any reason for that that any can discern
[05:46] <chilli0> Hi , How can I automagicly unlock keyring on login? 10.04
[05:46] <CaptainTrek> wombatman: what version you on now?
[05:46] <wombatman> 9.10
[05:47] <CaptainTrek> wombatman: interesting it should be letting you... o.o
[05:47] <onetinsoldier> wombatman: try -->  sudo update-manager -c
[05:47] <wombatman> yep did that before the do update
[05:47] <onetinsoldier> wombatman: do-release-upgrade is for upgrading from one LTS to the next.. in other words, from 8.04 to 10.04
[05:48] <wombatman> ohh
[05:48] <kaushal> At the status bar, there is alway the progress bar moving forth even when there is no new messages in Thunderbird 3.0.4, any idea ?
[05:48] <wombatman> my bad btw
[05:48] <onetinsoldier> np
[05:48] <wombatman> your suggestion seems to work
[05:48] <wombatman> i did not run as su
[05:48] <wombatman> thought i did
[05:54] <toolbear> i want to use an ubuntu live cd, but i want it to have certain settings at startup.  can i simply boot the cd, change everything to the way i like it, and then copy the settings and paste them appropriately in the iso's filesystem.squashfs?
[05:57] <onetinsoldier> interesting toolbear. i would think so just from the sound of it. i don't know though. wouldn't surprise me if there were something more, another step or something
[05:57] <CaptainTrek> how to fix from a grub rescue prompt?
[05:57] <kaushal> At the status bar, there is alway the progress bar moving forth even when there is no new messages in Thunderbird 3.0.4, any idea ?

[06:02] <k3rn> hi, i am using telnet to connect to the qemu-monitor. is there any easy way to exit such a session? ctlr-5 and then exit is a little annoying
[06:02] <almoxarife> firefox is telling me I don't have 'enough file permissions' to use a download folder, I didn't have that error with chromium, anyone know a way around??
[06:03] <almoxarife> CaptainTrek: wubi install?
[06:03] <SmithKurosaki>  go
[06:04] <TwoshedsJackson> almoxarife, Make sure you have permission to write to that directory?
[06:04] <almoxarife> TwoshedsJackson: I do outside of firefox
[06:04] <TwoshedsJackson> almoxarife, Any folder in your home directory should work fine
[06:04] <TwoshedsJackson> ok
[06:04] <almoxarife> TwoshedsJackson: they do, I want to use a folder outside the tree
[06:05] <TwoshedsJackson> almoxarife, Check the permissions of the folder and change accordingly
[06:05] <TwoshedsJackson> almoxarife, Although it does sound strange :)
[06:06] <almoxarife> TwoshedsJackson: I can read and write to that folder with other apps, only see issue in firefox
[06:06] <somethinginteres> hi all, I'm trying to get Japanese input working with SCIM - it's installed but I can't seem to be able to change input anywhere to Japanese and the shortcut keys to do so aren't helping
[06:08] <TwoshedsJackson> almoxarife, Have you tried running firefox as root and see if it changes? :)
[06:09] <irwan> hi all
[06:09] <almoxarife> TwoshedsJackson: thought about it, but I would create a profile in root that I don't need and only prove that root can do anything
[06:09] <tristan3199> i apoligize... did anybody get a chance to check out http://paste.ubuntu.com/441604/ about my software center issue with authorization
[06:10] <TwoshedsJackson> almoxarife, Try to run sudo firefox and see if it helps first
[06:10] <TwoshedsJackson> almoxarife, Although I bet there are security issues involved
[06:11] <infid> i used to be able to gpg verify files in nautilus by right-clicking on them, but since upgrading to lucid lynx, i don't see the option any more. any idea why not?
[06:13] <almoxarife> tristan3199: I saw where you could not open some web page, I tried opening the same page and was able to, not sure what that means
[06:14] <tristan3199> i have upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 now my software center give me error... posting link in moment
[06:17] <billybigrigger> anyone know if it's possible to recover from a crashed upgrade?
[06:17] <billybigrigger> i get a busybox prompt complaining about no /sbin/init or something
[06:17] <billybigrigger> actually a friends computer i was walking him through the upgrade
[06:18] <gesar> hi boys... how can i go to a
[06:18] <Dr_Willis> You could try a live cd, and update/upgrade. but it may be easier to just backup data and reinstall billybigrigger
[06:18] <billybigrigger> Dr_Willis, i was thinking the same thing
[06:19] <Dr_Willis> billybigrigger:  the upgrade itself crashed? or did it succede.. but now when the system boots it dosent boot properly?
[06:19] <billybigrigger> he doesn't have a livecd handy
[06:19] <billybigrigger> no, something about no init found during the upgrade
[06:19] <frogzoo> what are the salient differences between vmware player & server?
[06:19] <billybigrigger> complete fail on the upgrade by the sounds of it
[06:19]  * CaptainTrek reconnects through his netbook
[06:19] <billybigrigger> next upgrade will definitely be done via terminal
[06:19] <billybigrigger> i never trust that update-manager, either for updates or upgrades, and this is why :P
[06:20] <Dr_Willis> billybigrigger:  well i mean. did the upgrade 'program' actuall y crash - so it didsent do a complete upgrade.. or did the upgrade program finish and say to reboot. and  the finised upgrade now fails to boot. (2 different sort of probmels)
[06:20] <frogzoo> I never upgrade til the upgrade's a month old..
[06:20] <billybigrigger> no
[06:20] <billybigrigger> system hardlocked in the middle of the upgrade
[06:20] <julian_> Hello, my problem is this:  I'm able to access the internet via firefox when I'm logged in the gnome browser, but when I'm in LXSD, the lighter window manager, I can't.  Any suggestions?
[06:20] <billybigrigger> i was watching via top and everything just shit the bed
[06:20] <Dr_Willis> billybigrigger:  thats a very bad thing :)
[06:21] <billybigrigger> it sure is :P
[06:21] <SwedeMike> julian_: can you access the internet via any application in lxsd ?
[06:21] <Dr_Willis> billybigrigger:  i would have to say time to backup/clean install.
[06:21] <frogzoo> julian_: gnome uses network-manager to config your network...
[06:21] <billybigrigger> yeah, luckily i setup his /home and / and separate partitions, so a clean install will be a breeze
[06:21] <Trek> whats the filesystem check/repair command?
[06:21] <frogzoo>  /home on separate partition ftw
[06:21] <julian_> SwedeMike, I was able to use software update in lxsd.  Not sure if that would use network...
[06:21] <Dr_Willis> Trek:  'fsck' normallyt is used for that.
[06:21] <Dr_Willis> !fsck
[06:21] <billybigrigger> just that he's two hours away with no cd's, and doesn't know anyone in the town he just moved to so, i'll have to hotshot out a disc for him i guess :(
[06:22] <greezmunkey> :)
[06:22] <julian_> frogzoo, what does lxsd use?  I used network tool and was able to ping myself.
[06:22] <Dr_Willis> billybigrigger:  one of the best addons i found for a pc.  this little drivebay drawer. :) I keep live cd's and live flash drives for backup in the drawer. :)
[06:22] <billybigrigger> that would be handy
[06:22] <billybigrigger> he's just got a laptop :)
[06:22] <Dr_Willis> billybigrigger:  or i use a cheap 1gb flash drive  taped inside the case for emergancy repairs. :)
[06:23] <billybigrigger> good thinking
[06:23] <greezmunkey> Dr_Willis: yikes, I've been using it for mu coffee cup :/
[06:23] <frogzoo> julian_: never used it tbh
[06:23] <Dr_Willis> greezmunkey:  this is anactual drawer. can hold about 20 cd's  cost me $10 i think.
[06:23] <billybigrigger> he's not much of a nerd, :) i myself would never leave myself in that situation but... :)
[06:23] <billybigrigger> drivebay drawer is a killer idea
[06:23] <tristan3199> not sure what action fixed it... going to install authorizations (configures authorizations) now and reboot. thanks for all the help.
[06:23] <julian_> frogzoo, i'm confused too.  Not sure what happened.
[06:24] <Dr_Willis> billybigrigger:  i have also set up a /boot/ partition with grub2 to be able to boot an iso file from the ./boot/ partition as a rescue feature also.
[06:24] <greezmunkey> Dr_Willis: nice place to stash stuff ;)
[06:24] <tristan3199> hope fully it works after reboot... ill come back and let you know
[06:24] <Dr_Willis> greezmunkey:  yep. :) I need a little drawer now for the unused floppy drive bay.
[06:24] <greezmunkey> Dr_Willis: can the contents be encrypted, I wonder...
[06:25] <Dr_Willis> greezmunkey:  http://www.gearlog.com/2007/06/drive_bay_device_roundup_use_y.php
[06:25] <billybigrigger> Dr_Willis, i'ver never thought of a rescue iso on the boot partition either, thats genius :)
[06:25] <functor> whats the new way of doing gtk-config?
[06:25] <functor> for cflags and libs
[06:25] <jerichowasahoax> I have a webcam on my netbook running Ubuntu. The problem is TokBox can't keep the camera turned on for more than a couple of minutes, and I have to wait a long time between making it retry. How do I keep the camera turned on entirely?
[06:25] <julian_> FYI, previously, I had to reconfigure and restart network manager, because a bug in which it couldn't get out of sleep.
[06:25] <Dr_Willis> billybigrigger:  im not sure if you can install from that iso rescue to the same hd or not. I used it to install to a 2nd hd.. once. but ive rarely needed the rescue feature
[06:25] <jerichowasahoax> Without it turning off until I'm done?
[06:26] <billybigrigger> Dr_Willis, well atleast you could growisofs the iso to a blank disc, if your left without net connection or something
[06:26] <Dr_Willis> billybigrigger:  you could always  do micro disrto on /boot/ :)  for extra recocvery options.
[06:28] <greezmunkey> billybigrigger: yeah assuming you can boot into grub...
[06:32] <tyler_d4> I have 4 drives, I was trying to set them up using mdadm however I have given up on that.... and I need to arp all information pertaining to this, how is that possible?
[06:33] <tyler_d4> I have re-installed the system, however on install it informed me that the raid device was still there....
[06:33] <SwedeMike> tyler_d4: use mdadm --zero-superblock on the drives
[06:34] <tyler_d4> SwedeMike: as in "mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sda"
[06:35] <tyler_d4> SwedeMike: or "mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sda1" <--- partition
[06:35] <SwedeMike> tyler_d4: whatever you used to add to the array
[06:36] <tyler_d4> SwedeMike: couldn't open for write - not zeroing
[06:37] <charley> :( ubuntu's so slow on netbook (gma500)
[06:37] <SwedeMike> tyler_d4: sudo ?
[06:37] <tyler_d4> yes sudo
[06:37] <SwedeMike> tyler_d4: mdadm --stop <array> and try again
[06:38] <Kiff> whenever i type a command in gnome terminal i get no output until i press another key like ill type ' ls -lh enter' and have to press enter again or some other key to get the results to show up in the console

[06:38] <nlion> like the gmail notifier?
[06:38] <tyler_d4> SwedeMike: is there no way to just arp all information for this?
[06:39] <SwedeMike> tyler_d4: I have no idea what you mean by "arp information".
[06:39] <Kiff> mv /etc/mdadm.conf /etc/mdadm1.conf
[06:39] <wise_crypt> nlion: sudo apt-get install plasma-widget-googlecalendar
[06:40] <SwedeMike> Kiff: if he used 0.9 superblocks and did the fd partition thing the kernel will autostart
[06:40] <TwoshedsJackson> tyler_d4, Try to use palimpsest to manage the array
[06:40] <tyler_d4> SwedeMike: delete, kill
[06:40] <Kiff> unless you have something in rc.local or somewhere else assembling the raid array
[06:40] <Dr_Willis> Kiff:  last time i saw somthing similer to that i had some how spawned a 2nd shell/process to the background.
[06:40] <tyler_d4> I don't want to manage it, just want it gone
[06:40] <SwedeMike> tyler_d4: of course there is a way, that's what I suggested.
[06:40] <Dr_Willis> Kiff:  so every other line was going to a differnt shell. made it a little weird
[06:40] <tyler_d4> SwedeMike: ok, I will tias
[06:40] <TwoshedsJackson> tyler_d4, Try palimpsest either case, it's handy as hell
[06:40] <Kiff> Dr_Willis: its all coming back to the same shell
[06:40] <Kiff> but only after prompted
[06:41] <Dr_Willis> Kiff:  try a 2nd xterm and see if it affects all of them
[06:41] <erick_alcala> Hello
[06:41] <erick_alcala> =)
[06:41] <Kiff> Dr_Willis: yeah it affects all of them
[06:41] <Kiff> i have 5 or so open
[06:42] <erick_alcala> Is anybody else using Ubuntu 10.04 Firefox 3.6.3 having problems with slow FLASH 10
[06:42] <Dr_Willis> Kiff:  interesting.   i forget the proper option to tell xterm/bash to not use the bashrc. but thats where i would look next.
[06:42] <st0ner>  hey guys is the newest ubuntu release LTS?
[06:42] <Kiff> make that 7 .. ok ill see what i can find
[06:42] <erick_alcala> st0ner yes
[06:42] <Kiff> st0ner: yes
[06:42] <st0ner> ty
[06:42] <Dr_Willis> Kiff:  xterm -e 'bash --norc --noprofile'
[06:43] <Kiff> what erick_alcala said
[06:43] <erick_alcala> Kiff
[06:43] <erick_alcala> Do you guys know how to fix slow Flash?
[06:43] <Dr_Willis> Kiff:  that dosent seem to be a totally clean bash. but its close. :)
[06:43] <Kiff> download flashlib from adobe and put it in ur mozilla plugins folder?
[06:44] <Kiff> thanks dr wil
[06:44] <erick_alcala> Kiff trying that, but am also using google chrome, as long as it is fixed in any browser am ok with that lol
[06:44] <Dr_Willis> Kiff:  if using a custom ps prompt. that may be the issue also.
[06:44] <tyler_d4> TwoshedsJackson: hey dependencies on palimpsest
[06:46] <mkquist> erick_alcala: i found using the 'killflash' plugin helps... shows all the flash links and lets you decide which to play.   My understanding is that flash in linux is a bit of a resource hog
[06:46] <Kiff> Dr_Willis: the weird thing is it only does it when im working on local machine.. if i use the same term and ssh elsewhere its fine
[06:47] <somethinginteres> I have an issue with flash where it isn't slow but youtube for example doesn't allow interaction i.e. clicking play doesn't working
[06:47] <somethinginteres> I have an issue with flash where it isn't slow but youtube for example doesn't allow interaction i.e. clicking play doesn't work
[06:47] <Kiff> Dr_Willis: im just using straight up gnome terminal
[06:47] <somethinginteres> only space bar
[06:47] <Dr_Willis> somethinginteres:  known issue. with about a dozen different fix's one can try. :)
[06:47] <TwoshedsJackson> tyler_d4, Synaptic can't help?
[06:48] <somethinginteres> should look into that hey :)
[06:48] <Dr_Willis> somethinginteres:  one work around i recall is to right click, as you click on the button.
[06:48] <tyler_d4> TwoshedsJackson: sorry, my bad... lol, should have mentioned 10.04 server --- its ok though, X-forwarded
[06:49] <erick_alcala> ok . uhm is there flashlib for flash10?
[06:49] <wise_crypt> !bugs > wise_crypt
[06:51] <Kiff> erick_alcala: yes goto adobe download linux version untar and cp to wherever your plugins folder might be
[06:51] <infid> i used to be able to gpg verify files in nautilus by right-clicking on them, but since upgrading to lucid lynx, i don't see the option any more. any idea why not?
[06:51] <erick_alcala> but I have flash installed, problem I have is flash plays SLOW!! :S
[06:52] <Kiff> what version of flash it is?
[06:52] <Dr_Willis> erick_alcala:  blame adobe for the most part.
[06:52] <Kiff> flash is a dog
[06:52] <Dr_Willis> erick_alcala:  there are some newer beta/flash versions. but those may or may not play at all
[06:53] <erick_alcala> I dont need who to blame lol , I just need to play flash videos or swfs faster
[06:53] <erick_alcala> it lags
[06:53] <pallgone> erick_alcala: how slow? it stutters?
[06:53] <erick_alcala> it looks like a slideshow
[06:53] <erick_alcala> a video!! :O
[06:53] <TwoshedsJackson> erick_alcala, ati graphics?
[06:54] <erick_alcala> Intel
[06:54] <pallgone> erick_alcala: some issue with gfx/driver I would assume
[06:54] <erick_alcala> I have a emachines T3604 with Ubuntu 10.04  and adobe flash plugin version 10 installed
[06:54] <Dr_Willis> erick_alcala:  theres only so much suggestions we can offer.  Ive noticed sluggish videos on very high end box's and ive noticed it worked good on lower end machines.
[06:55] <TwoshedsJackson> are there restricted drivers or suck to activate?
[06:55] <Ububasher> .
[06:55] <erick_alcala> on any browser same problem
[06:55] <rkavalap> how to recover data in linux ?
[06:55] <Dr_Willis> erick_alcala:  You could alwyas use some flash-downloader program and download/convert the flash to a better format.
[06:55] <TwoshedsJackson> such*
[06:55] <hanasaki> how can I find the max resolution that my system could run on a monitor?  its on a low res monitor now... just want to be sure it can handle 2048x__ before buying one
[06:55] <erick_alcala> Dr_Wills for videos over an hour not such a good idea =S
[06:55] <TwoshedsJackson> rkavalap, recover how?
[06:55] <peacetara> erick_alcala: are you using the correct drivers for your hardware?
[06:56] <peacetara> erick_alcala: (video)
[06:56] <erick_alcala> peacetara I assume yes
[06:56] <Kiff> Dr_Willis: make a good point.. if you download the flv does it play bad in totem or vlc
[06:56] <Dr_Willis> erick_alcala:  done it befor.,. If they are not playable now.. then you do it or do without i guess.  You COULD try the latest beta of flash that might help.
[06:56] <Kiff> erick_alcala:
[06:56] <erick_alcala> yeah?
[06:56] <Dr_Willis> erick_alcala:  the latest beta of flash may also not work at all. :)
[06:57] <aussie114> Hanasaki: look up your graphics card, it will tell you the max res your system can handle
[06:57] <Ububasher> Adobe supports Linux Flash now. Does very wel on my system.
[06:57] <Kiff> erick_alcala: Dr_Willis: make a good point.. if you download the flv does it play bad in totem or vlc
[06:57] <Dr_Willis> Ububasher:  ive had it work well on some.. and not so well on others.
[06:57] <hanasaki> already scanned the web.. zipo  aussie
[06:57] <Ububasher> ah
[06:57] <erick_alcala> Kiff checking
[06:57] <tristan3199> fixed my software center.. thanks guys...
[06:57] <Dr_Willis> HuluDesktop player - is what i use normally.. but it has issues all the time. :(
[06:57] <aussie114> what GPU do you have?
[06:58] <Ububasher> The only systems I haven't had luck with (flash) were systems with weird 3 prop drivers...
[06:58] <Ububasher> ie Compaq drivers
[06:58] <rkavalap> TwoshedsJackson: Trying to recover a crashed drive with linux on it
[06:58] <Kiff> rkavalap: in what way crashed?
[06:58] <Ububasher> head crash?
[06:58] <Ububasher> sol on head crash
[06:58] <erick_alcala> Kiff flv in VLC play very good!!
[06:59] <Ububasher> rk.......crash/
[06:59] <tristan3199> now my next question... whats the major difference between kde and gnome... does one based on gaming or office or why do i have both... also kde doesnt connect to the net and dont know how to set it up to use my wireless...
[06:59] <maelaian> Trying to install ubuntu 10.04 netbook on my eeepc. Made a unetbootin usb with the iso. It drops to busy box when setting up the installer and says "(initramfs) mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed: Invalid argument/nCan not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on //filesystem.squashfs
[06:59] <erick_alcala> NO Propietary drivers are used on this system
[07:00] <Dr_Willis> tristan3199:  kde uses a differnt desktop. - You can use both. and they should both connect to the internet fine. KDE has a different wirless manager tool - that is a bit more complex.
[07:00] <Dr_Willis> tristan3199:  but it should be able to connect to any network that gnome's network manager does
[07:00] <Ububasher> erick.....is you rsystem SUPPOSED to use a 3 prop driver?
[07:00] <erick_alcala> No sir
[07:00] <Ububasher> ok
[07:00] <rkavalap> kiff: cant boot
[07:00] <Ububasher> emachine?
[07:00] <Kiff> erick_alcala: in firefox when you look at a page with flash in it is there a little lego bottom right status bar
[07:00] <erick_alcala> emachine T3604
[07:00] <Ububasher> rk.......doesn't mean crash
[07:01] <pallgone> Dr_Willis: yeah, and I found that the KDE wireless often hast problems connecting to encrypted wifi
[07:01] <tristan3199> i cant find any icons or programs like network managaers icon on my toolbar
[07:01] <Kiff> click on it and check there might be a few diff flash pugins.. try differenct ones
[07:01] <Kiff> bah i pressed enter when i didnt want to
[07:01] <Dr_Willis> pallgone:  ive never had the issue. I have noticed its a bit more complex to use. (takes more clicks.)
[07:01] <erick_alcala> Kiff looking for it.
[07:01] <Ububasher> rk......no boot does not = crash
[07:02] <Kiff> erick_alcala: i get a little lego looking block far bottom right.. if i click on it it gives me a list of possible media plugins for the page.
[07:02] <tristan3199> i am using a lap top and trying to get familiar with kde.. how do i get a connection to the net
[07:02] <Ububasher> rk....laptop or desk?
[07:02] <rkavalap> Ububasher: Well tats the software crash :) not the hardware
[07:03] <Kiff> rkavalap: cant boot after doing what?
[07:03] <Ububasher> so you have hardware crash (rk)?
[07:03] <Kiff> rkavalap: did you upgrade?
[07:03] <tristan3199> and the difference between kde and gnome are basically looks based?
[07:03] <erick_alcala> it has : plugins in use and all plugins
[07:03] <Dr_Willis> tristan3199:  you may want to ask in #kubuntu - I dont have kde running so cant walk you through it.
[07:03] <tristan3199> thanks doc
[07:03] <Dr_Willis> tristan3199:  i just recall an icon on a panel, and a few clicks. and it connected
[07:03] <Kiff> erick_alcala: you can select a plugin to use on that page.. try a few and se where you get
[07:04] <tristan3199> kde ubuntu and kubuntu are the same?
[07:04] <Ububasher> almost
[07:04] <Dr_Willis> tristan3199:  Kubuntu  = ubuntu with KDE instead of gnome
[07:04] <rkavalap> well tried to upgrade dbus from source, it kind of messed something.
[07:04] <erick_alcala> testing.. =)
[07:05] <Ububasher> tristan....try opening terminal, type 'network-manager;
[07:05] <Ububasher> wait
[07:05] <Ububasher> wrong dist
[07:05] <Ububasher> I usually iwconfig
[07:05] <Kiff> rkavalap: ok then ur fstab is looking for /dev/hd* instead of /dev/sd* ?
[07:06] <mneptok> tristan3199: you may find more KDE experience in #kubuntu
[07:06] <tristan3199> in kde i dont know how to get to terminal? do it here?
[07:06] <Kiff> rkavalap: what you tried a recover with ubuntu install disk
[07:06] <tristan3199> i will go to #kubuntu as to not disturb the channel here?
[07:06] <Ububasher> I usually just throw the drive in another machine and extract
[07:07] <Ububasher> your no trouble tris
[07:07] <rkavalap> kiff: havent tried any yet.
[07:07] <haskellnoob> Hi I am trying to set up my ubuntu laptop to share its internet connection via wifi, but am running into problems.
[07:07] <mneptok> tristan3199: #kubuntu will probably have more users of KDE, and thus more familiarity
[07:07] <brand0n> i have windows and ubuntu installed on diff partiions, i was able to choose the size of the ubuntu partition when i first installed it, is there anyway to make it bigger without wiping out windows?
[07:07] <tristan3199> sure ill be back soon.. lots of questions.... later and thanks for all the help..
[07:07] <Ububasher> rk......have you tried inserting hd into another machine?
[07:08] <Ububasher> (to recover files, needs to be operating machine)
[07:08] <Kiff> brand0n: backup and use gparted
[07:08] <haskellnoob> The latest behaviour: my secondary laptop detects the wifi server, but keeps asking for the password (i verified that the password i enter is correct)
[07:08] <brand0n> gparted is greyed out where it says adjust size Kiff
[07:09] <rkavalap> Ububasher: its a laptop hdd. and i dont have 2.5" to usb connecter to connect to another machine
[07:09] <haskellnoob> I used the nm-applet to create the new shared connection
[07:09] <erick_alcala> uhmm
[07:09] <Ububasher> ah
[07:09] <erick_alcala> forget it
[07:09] <Kiff> brand0n: are you running gparted on a live system or live cd?
[07:09] <Ububasher> ok rk
[07:09] <erick_alcala> reinstalling UBUNTU =(
[07:09] <Ububasher> sorry erik
[07:09] <erick_alcala> it used to work fine!! dont know what happened to it!!
[07:09] <Kiff> erick_alcala:  thats a littel extreme
[07:09] <_Brun0_> How can I disable ipv6 on Ubuntu 10.04? I can't use internet except in firefox (where I can disable ipv6)
[07:10] <brand0n> kiff im running it from the hdd
[07:10] <haskellnoob> the mode is Ad-Hoc, I guess that is OK?
[07:10] <erick_alcala> Kiff, lol I know man I installed windows on 3 machines, and ubuntu on 2 so alil used to it  =)
[07:10] <Kiff> _Brun0_: modprobe -r -f ipv6 or simething
[07:10] <Ububasher> haskell......Ad hoc bad; what are you trying to do?
[07:11] <brand0n> i installed ubuntu on my moms,dads,brothers,sisters computers
[07:11] <Kiff> brand0n: try it from the gparted live cd.. dunno if it'll let you do ito n a mounted live partition
[07:11] <erick_alcala> brand0n also installed it in my dads lol
[07:11] <brand0n> ah that makes sense kiff
[07:11] <brand0n> ill try that
[07:11] <brand0n> thank you
[07:11] <administrator_> 大家好
[07:11] <haskellnoob> Ububasher: I want to share my wired internet connection across two laptops; LT1 is connected to the Internet via a wired connection, and I want to share this connection with LT2
[07:11] <Ububasher> partition magic (linux) is a magnificant toll
[07:11] <Ububasher> tool
[07:11] <erick_alcala> brand0n and my best friends LOL =) ,.... well brb Iwill be instlling everything again :S
[07:11] <mneptok> brand0n: you can turn it off via /etc/modprobe.d/aliases
[07:11] <Kiff> brand0n: backup though if tehres anything important
[07:11] <brand0n> me too erick_alcala
[07:11] <brand0n> everyone used to call me
[07:11] <Ububasher> ah, then ad hoc good
[07:11] <erick_alcala> thanks all for ur help =)
[07:11] <Ekos> brand0n: Try using Acronis on windows, I think they might have a demo.
[07:11] <brand0n> for pc troubleshooting
[07:11] <mneptok> ugh
[07:12] <brand0n> then i installed ubuntu on all their pc;s
[07:12] <brand0n> now they never call for help
[07:12] <erick_alcala> brand0n excelent choice
[07:12] <mneptok> _Brun0_: you can turn it off via /etc/modprobe.d/aliases
[07:12]  * mneptok has a tab-complete fail
[07:12] <brand0n> none of them do high end gaming, so ubuntu > windows in every possible way
[07:12] <brand0n> aside from that
[07:12] <rkavalap> seems like I require live disc to get stuff working. Will check that out.
[07:12] <brand0n> i do have one bug though im curious if anyone else is experiencing it
[07:12] <Ububasher> bug...
[07:13] <brand0n> since i upgraded to 10.04 sometimes i gotta login via shell
[07:13] <Ububasher> curious
[07:13] <brand0n> and do sudo gdm
[07:13] <brand0n> to get ubuntu to boot
[07:13] <Ububasher> weird
[07:13] <Kiff> indeed
[07:13] <brand0n> its only sometimes
[07:13] <Ububasher> only sometime?
[07:13] <Kiff> welp i gotta go put the roast on
[07:13] <rkavalap> just out of curiosity, has anyone recovered deleted files in linux ?
[07:13] <_Brun0_> mneptok: are you sure? I think modprove comes in kernel now.
[07:13] <Kiff> rkavalap: once or twice but its better not to delete them
[07:13] <brand0n> ubuntu will boot fine then it goes straight to command line
[07:13] <brand0n> id say half the time
[07:13] <Ububasher> rk......files aren't deleted unless shredded, only flaggedd
[07:14] <brand0n> the other half i gotta login to the shell and do sudo gdm
[07:14] <Dr_Willis> brand0n:  'boot' is not the same as 'starting the gui' :)
[07:14] <haskellnoob> now LT2 sees the connection that is shared by LT1 and tries to connect, but it keeps asking for the password again and again without managing to actually connect
[07:14] <mneptok> _Brun0_: yes, you can use the pf config to turn off IPv6. "alias net-pf-10 off ipv6"
[07:14] <Kiff> welp i gotta go put the roast on again
[07:14] <brand0n> well whatever term you use Dr_Willis
[07:14] <rkavalap> Ububasher: I understand that. but is there way to recover those flagged files ?
[07:14] <brand0n> sometimes i gotta run sudo gdm from command line
[07:14] <Dr_Willis> brand0n:  ive had issues  where gdm faults out due to the nvidia drivers not loading fast enough. that makes it drop backt t he shell, or the low-res warning :)
[07:14] <brand0n> or ubuntu wont load the gui
[07:14] <Ububasher> yes
[07:14] <_Brun0_> Kiff: modprobe -r -f ipv6 FATAL: Module ipv6 not found
[07:14] <Ububasher> yes rk
[07:14] <brand0n> ohhhh
[07:15] <Dr_Willis> brand0n:  theres some fixs for that mentioned in the forums if you are on a nvidia system
[07:15] <Ububasher> but I have no idea how
[07:15] <brand0n> Dr_Willis, im using nvidia drivers
[07:15] <brand0n> cool
[07:15] <mneptok> brand0n: have you tried earlier kernels to see if the problem exhibits itself there?
[07:15] <Ububasher> I do know its possibe;
[07:15] <brand0n> that must be the problem
[07:15] <Ububasher> supposed to be easy
[07:15] <Ububasher> software issue
[07:15] <Dr_Willis> brand0n:  theres some timeout setting that is set to 'low' from what i read in the forum posts., I did a few of the tweaks suggested and havent had anissue with it lately
[07:16] <maelaian> Trying to install ubuntu 10.04 netbook on my eeepc. Made a unetbootin usb with the iso. It drops to busy box when setting up the installer and says "(initramfs) mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed: Invalid argument/nCan not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on //filesystem.squashfs
[07:16] <Ububasher> ..
[07:16] <mneptok> Ububasher: actually, it's quite difficult to recover files on most Linux filesystems.
[07:16] <Ububasher> oh
[07:16] <Ububasher> never tried
[07:17] <nesusvet> hello ppl, How are living in Moscow?
[07:17] <nesusvet> )
[07:17] <CaptainTrek> is there a way to use the LiveCD to reinstall grub and not get a grub> prompt on boot?
[07:17] <Ububasher> I figure there must be software which could look for the flags
[07:17] <CaptainTrek> Grub got messed on my system with removing Ubuntu 9.04
[07:18] <maelaian> ububasher, you unmount the partition, turn on the debug for the filesystem, run lsdel, and then another command to restore the file
[07:18] <haskellnoob> Is it possible to use NetworkManager to share a wired internet connection over wireless? How does one go about doing this?
[07:18] <CaptainTrek> anyone?
[07:19] <Ububasher> sweet! thanks mael!!!
[07:19] <maelaian> debugfs is the command to get debug stuff.
[07:19] <_Brun0_> mneptok: i'm confused.. where is that pf config i should use to disable ipv6?
[07:19] <linux> linux
[07:20] <linux> hi all

[07:23] <phlak_user> !anyone
[07:23] <linux> ok
[07:23] <CaptainTrek> phlak_user, thanks for telling a person who actually knows the rules in this channel, and read the freakin scrollbacks?!?!?
[07:23] <maelaian> sonyeric: Is it plugged into the mb
[07:23] <phlak_user> sonyeric: try installing pavucontrol and selecting it
 is there a way to use the LiveCD to reinstall grub and not get a grub> prompt on boot?
[07:24] <sonyeric> maelaian.....yes..its onboard ...im using a desktop
[07:24] <phlak_user> CaptainTrek: yes there is
[07:24] <CaptainTrek> phlak_user, how?
[07:24] <phlak_user> CaptainTrek: grub or grub2 ?
[07:24] <CaptainTrek> phlak_user, assume i'm using 10.04, and guess
[07:25] <AnnoyedTrek> phlak_user, grub2
[07:25] <maelaian> AnnoyedTrek: We assume nothing, that is typically the line of thought that gets people IN this channel.

[07:26] <AnnoyedTrek> maelaian, i've been woking on this for about 3 hours now, so i'm quite stressed...
[07:26] <phlak_user> AnnoyedTrek: did you do everything that that link says?
[07:27] <maelaian> AnnoyedTrek: Three hours, impressive.
[07:27] <AnnoyedTrek> maelaian, with crappy help from #grub

[07:27] <linux> phlak_user, is it possible to use .gif image to desktop
[07:28] <sonyeric> :(
[07:28] <rocket16> Hello all
[07:28] <linux> ;)
[07:28] <phlak_user> linux: not sure; do you mean animated gif?
[07:28] <linux> phlak_user, ya
[07:28] <phlak_user> sonyeric: did you install pavucontrol and check?
[07:28] <sonyeric> u can but the animation wont work
[07:29] <maelaian> well to hell with 10.04. After breaking one computer I thought it must be a fluke, then it broke on a second computer, both install time problems. Going to put easypeasy on my netbook since well it seems to be tested.
[07:29] <sonyeric> ok....phlak_user...ill try
[07:29] <rocket16> linux: I once tried, it loaded, but there will be no animation.
[07:29] <phlak_user> linux: there is another way to get animated wallpaper on desktop
[07:29] <linux> ya i tried too but no success
[07:29] <turkuamk> Hello.
[07:29] <linux> how
[07:29] <rocket16> Hello turkuamk
[07:29] <turkuamk> ^^
[07:30] <Dr_Willis> phlak_user:   you mean wallpaper that changed every so often? or an actual video type animaton?
[07:30] <phlak_user> linux: did you try with xwinwrap
[07:30] <HappierTrek> well, the instructions I got from ubuntu was more useful than the #grub people
[07:30] <HappierTrek> thanks
[07:30] <phlak_user> Dr_Willis: actual motion
[07:30] <linux> phlak_user, dont give me this xwinwrap i alrday tryed it
[07:30] <turkuamk> I installed the new version of Ubuntu, but I cannot find how to remove the icons in the Applications menu… There was somewere the option but I cannot find it.
[07:30] <phlak_user> linux: it worked well for me
[07:30] <uLinux> hello all
[07:30] <Dr_Willis> phlak_user:  vlc has some plugins to Put an actual video on the background I recall. but  thats a little extreme
[07:31] <turkuamk> Where did it go?
[07:31] <Dr_Willis> turkuamk:  try the 'alacarte' tool?
[07:31] <linux> phlak_user, ya it work for me too but i wanna gif to work
[07:31] <ManDay> I've got a couple of questions:
[07:31] <ManDay> 1.) What configuration/setting governs teh log rotation of logs such as /var/log/dmesg and how can I make it NOT retain the old logs but instead delete them?
[07:31] <phlak_user> linux: sorry i dont know
[07:31] <ManDay> 2.) What are kern.log dmesg.log and all the other stuff anyway? I only know messages.log for kernel logging?! Besides, I'm not really interested in such extreme verbosity, especially not from the kernel. Is that the unchangeable default in ubuntu to log so awfully many files?
[07:31] <FloodBot4> ManDay: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:31] <ManDay> 3.) On Startup, going into hibernation or returning from the latter I get a message that "[..... device rt7...usb... failed to set state ..." (I can't recall the exact message and don't know which log to find it in. Does anyone know what that means and how to fix it?
[07:31] <phlak_user> ManDay: logrotate
[07:31] <sweb> in ubuntu software center whene i install the software download is until progress and never ending
[07:31] <linux> ok
[07:32] <ManDay> phlak_user, so what?
[07:32] <ManDay> Did you get all 4 questions?
[07:32] <sweb> for example install `geany` still in 64 percent and with `Downloading`
[07:32] <phlak_user> ManDay: im responding to the one which you asked how to control log rotation
[07:32] <ManDay> phlak_user, i know about logrotate but dmesg appears nowhere within its configurations
[07:32] <turkuamk> Dr_Willis: Ok, I opened it. Now? :P
[07:33] <turkuamk> Sorry, I am quite new at this…
[07:33] <Dr_Willis> turkuamk:  use the tool to reorder/clean out your menus.
[07:33] <turkuamk> But how to remove the icons near the menu?
[07:33] <Dr_Willis> turkuamk:   Not sure what you mean.
[07:34] <turkuamk> I don’t want to remove the entries, just the icons of the entries.
[07:34] <turkuamk> Click Application: you see little icons on the left.
[07:34] <turkuamk> *s
[07:34] <Dr_Willis> There used to be a setting ages ago to hide all icons in all the menus. but ive not seen that in years.
[07:34] <ManDay> phlak_user, anything else?
[07:34] <x1m> people, please help me with setting, ftp-server :) (I am from Russia) :)
[07:34] <turkuamk> I find something in the gconf-editor, but it removes just the icons in the Settings part of the menu.
[07:35] <rocket16> linux: Well, here is the procedure for setting up animated wallpaper http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2007/09/14/animated-wallpaper-with-compiz-fusion-on-ubuntu/
[07:35] <phlak_user> ManDay: try playing around with /etc/rsyslog.conf
[07:35] <phlak_user> x1m: go ahead
[07:36] <ManDay> phlak_user, I found out that dmesg is in /init/dmesg and does not use logrotate but savelog instead
[07:36] <turkuamk> /app/desktop/gnome/interface
[07:36] <phlak_user> ManDay: oh good
[07:36] <ManDay> phlak_user, more or less :-/
[07:36] <ManDay> Its annoyingly inconsistent
 what?
[07:37] <phlak_user> x1m: pl state your problem
[07:37] <phlak_user> !ask | x1m
[07:37] <ManDay> !details | xlm
[07:39] <phlak_user> ManDay: you can set the verbosity in /etc/init/dmesg.conf in the dmesg line with -n option
[07:39] <ManDay> phlak_user, before I do so I would like to find out what is the point of kern.log vs. dmesg.log vs. messages
[07:39] <ManDay> I don't see in how far they are different/why 3 logs are needed for kernel log
[07:41] <epkugelmass> I have a somewhat silly question. top shows my memory usage to be ~38% of 4GB right now. The most memory intensive application, according to top, is Xorg at 2.9%, and everything else is consuming <.5%. How could I possibly be consuming 38% of my memory right now? I have almost nothing running on my computer right now.
[07:41] <Dr_Willis> epkugelmass:  disk cache.
[07:41] <phlak_user> ManDay: sorry, havent had the time to think on this.. maybe someone else can take that
[07:41] <Kiff> caching
[07:41] <linux> phlak_user, i found out
[07:41] <ManDay> phlak_user, thanks
[07:41] <phlak_user> epkugelmass: isnt X running?
[07:42] <phlak_user> linux: pl share with us
[07:42] <Kiff> epkugelmass: do 'free' and see how much is caches
[07:42] <linux> phlak_user, its pretty simple wanna have a try
[07:42] <Kiff> cached
[07:42] <linux> ok
[07:42] <sweb> not found :
[07:42] <sweb> http://ppa.launchpad.net/user/ppa/ppa-name/dists/lucid/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz
[07:42] <sweb> ????
[07:42] <sweb> in software center
[07:42] <epkugelmass> Dr_Willis, so that's the cached thing on the Swap line of top?
[07:42] <FloodBot4> sweb: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:42] <linux> phlak_user, see this work for u http://zzer.wordpress.com/2009/03/28/ubuntu-debian-linux-minihowto-howto-set-put-an-animated-background-wallpaper-with-a-video-mpg-avi-gif-flash-etc-using-xwinwrap-mplayer-and-gnash/
[07:43] <Dr_Willis> epkugelmass:  http://www.linuxatemyram.com/
[07:43] <phlak_user> linux: yes that uses xwinwrap and you said you didnt want that
[07:44] <paddy_melon> why am I getting a 403 when the directory I'm serving from is chmod-ed to 755? (Apache)
[07:44] <linux> phlak_user, i wanna .gif to be played on my background
[07:44] <sweb> i have a problem to add http://ppa.launchpad.net/ in my software center
[07:44] <paddy_melon> yet other parts of the server run fine
[07:44] <sweb> how can fix it ?
[07:45] <Flannel> paddy_melon: Are the files readable by www-data?
[07:45] <paddy_melon> Flannel, the user?
[07:45] <linux> phlak_user, u did not mention that
[07:45] <paddy_melon> or what?
[07:45] <epkugelmass> Dr_Willis, so according to the website you gave me, I'm still using 1.5GB/4 for something I can't determine
[07:45] <Flannel> paddy_melon: Right
[07:45] <intok> 10.4 64 bit live crashing within minutes of loading, system is an nforce 680i LT from XFX and a stock 8800GTS 320Mb G80 GPU, no overlclocking done. I am a linux n00b.
[07:45] <paddy_melon> umm... how do I change that, Flannel? I've only got FTP
[07:45] <phlak_user> linux  --> this is what i said linux: did you try with xwinwrap
[07:45] <epkugelmass> on the second line of 'free', I see used being 1.5 GB
[07:45] <Flannel> paddy_melon: What are the permissions on the files themselves?
[07:46] <paddy_melon> oh right! chmod is not recursive, One second Flannel
[07:46] <ManDay> How can I disable as many logs as possible and only keep messages?
[07:46] <sweb> how can i fix my ppa configuration for software center
[07:47] <linux> phlak_user, have u tried to play gif i un bg not serene saver ,sorry i thought it is only for screen saver not for gif i tried for screen saver not in gof
[07:47] <Erick_Alcala> Hello
[07:47] <phlak_user> ManDay: if its disk space you're trying to save, you could move /var/log to /tmp (this is done on systems that run off CF cards) so that on every reboot its deleted
[07:47] <Erick_Alcala> I am back
[07:48] <phlak_user> linux: never mind; just so long as it works for you :)
[07:48] <Erick_Alcala> so anyone knows how to fix the
[07:48] <Erick_Alcala> flash problem_
[07:48] <epkugelmass> Kiff, I ran free--Under 'used', on the second line, discounting buffers/cache, I'm still burning 1.5GB of mem on seemingly nothing!
[07:49] <ManDay> phlak_user, that would be an option. How would I move it to /tmp ?
[07:49] <ManDay> just link it?
[07:49] <ManDay> i mean mount
[07:49] <ManDay> erm
[07:49] <ManDay> no link
[07:49] <FloodBot4> ManDay: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:49] <linux> phlak_user, u tried out to play .gif in ur bg its not working
[07:49] <phlak_user> ManDay: move it to /tmp and link to /var/log
[07:50] <phlak_user> linux: never tried gif
[07:50] <tristan3199> how do i talk to ubuntu developers
[07:50] <linux> ok
[07:50] <tristan3199> or report bugs in 10.04
[07:50] <phlak_user> !bug
[07:50] <rocket16> Does the use of Adium themes on Pidgin increase memory consumption? It takes more than 100 MB memory even when I disable them.
[07:50] <ManDay> phlak_user, ok, but before I do that I'd like to wait maybe someone has a more conventional option
[07:51] <phlak_user> ManDay: ok; you could always reduce verbosity in /etc/dmesg.conf
[07:51] <ManDay> Anyone knows how disable most of the logs? Do they all go through syslogd or any other way to disable them centrally?
[07:51] <Flyingwatermelon> what are the must have programs for someone new to *nix?
[07:52] <ManDay> phlak_user, dmesg is the least thing im worried about. i think the only thing i really want is dmesg ;)
[07:52] <phlak_user> Flyingwatermelon: a new installation of Ubuntu 10.04 has almost everything you want
[07:52] <epkugelmass> Kiff, Dr_Willis
[07:52] <Erick_Alcala> I cant beleive I cant watch a video in normal speeds with flash :(
[07:52] <Flyingwatermelon> phlak_user, how can you tell what version I have now?
[07:52] <tristan3199> what do i do here.. noob and i just fixed an issue with software center and now i rebooted and the power button on the top right of the screen is .... how do i take a screen shot and show some one
[07:53] <phlak_user> Flyingwatermelon: I cant; you could by typing lsb_release -a in a terminal window
[07:53] <Flyingwatermelon> phlak_user, what do I type to upgrade?
[07:53] <tristan3199> it shows a cut off chat bubble and part of my name... cant discribe correctly
[07:53] <phlak_user> tristan3199: pressing the PrtSc button takes a screenshot; paste it in imagebin
[07:54] <wildbat> Erick_Alcala, try reinstalling flash
[07:54] <phlak_user> tristan3199: thats probably the pidgin/gwibber notification
[07:54] <Moviemaker1> if a modem is detected by sudo lshw -class modem does that mean the modem driver is installed and working?
[07:54] <Erick_Alcala> wildbat I reinstalled Ubuntu!! :S
[07:54] <phlak_user> Flyingwatermelon: sudo apt-get upgrade
[07:54] <tristan3199> it is related to that phlak
[07:54] <haskellnoob> well, got the internet sharing over wifi done with dhcp3 and firestarter
[07:54] <phlak_user> Moviemaker1: not really;
[07:55] <haskellnoob> now how do i go about securing this setup?
[07:55] <tristan3199> imagebin.ubuntu.com?
[07:55] <phlak_user> !paste
[07:55] <wildbat> Erick_Alcala, in that case you need to install flash still ~ ubuntu come with a "free" open source version not he adobe one
[07:55] <antonio_> ciao
[07:55] <wildbat> !flash | Erick_Alcala
[07:55] <CaptainTrek> which package is the Adobe flash package?
[07:55] <Erick_Alcala> I installed ubuntu 10.01
[07:55] <Erick_Alcala> 10.04
[07:55] <phlak_user> haskellnoob: ufw has everything you need; just configure it
[07:56] <phlak_user> !ufw | haskellnoob
[07:56] <Dr_Willis> flashplugin-installer - Adobe Flash Player plugin installer
[07:56] <intok> why does 10.04 hate all my machines?
[07:56] <Dr_Willis> CaptainTrek:  see above..
[07:56] <Flyingwatermelon> phlak_user,  how do I upgrade to 10.04?
[07:56] <phlak_user> Flyingwatermelon: what version are you on now?
[07:56] <Dr_Willis> !upgrade  | Flyingwatermelon
[07:56] <Flyingwatermelon> 9.10
[07:57] <tristan3199> http://imagebin.org/99005
[07:57] <Flyingwatermelon> phlak_user,  9.10
[07:57] <tristan3199> notice the top right and bottom left are strange.. i cant shut down?
[07:57] <Erick_Alcala> man I allready followed basic instructions
[07:57] <Erick_Alcala> even that webpage
[07:57] <haskellnoob> phlak_user: thanks, i have already used firestarter to allow connections only from a certain ip address range. the problem is, this is also the ip address range from which the dhcp server dishes out ips, so whoever sees this connection on their scanner and tries to connect will get to use my internet by default
[07:57] <ubuntunewbie> hi anyone here know any application which can change folder timestamp ?
[07:57] <Erick_Alcala> and also googled
[07:57] <tristan3199> the show desktop and power off notification areas are messed up
[07:57] <Erick_Alcala> other way I would not be here :(
[07:58] <tristan3199> show desktop works at least..
[07:58] <infid> does ubuntu 10.04 use gpg by default?
[07:58] <tristan3199> but power button is missing?
[07:58] <ubuntunewbie> hi anyone here know any application which can change folder timestamp ?
[07:58] <intok> it hard locks on the box with the 8800GTS, again on the aspire one d250 netbook in unr, the graphics stack also refuses to work for the old box with the i845GL ingergrated graphics
[07:58] <phlak_user> haskellnoob: you could create an access control list if you want to limit only certain people from your LAN segment (or Wi-Fi) to use it
[07:58] <haskellnoob> phlak_user: how do i go about doing this?
[07:58] <intok> but at least I can get the old box to shutdown properly
[07:59] <tristan3199> is it safe to hold the power button or am i going to lose info?
[07:59] <phlak_user> tristan3199: looks like two instances of the notification; you could right click on one and say remove from panel
[07:59] <antonio_> ciao come faccio a d accedere alla lista server
[07:59] <Dr_Willis> intok:  Hmm. my 8800gtsxxx works very well here.
[07:59] <tristan3199> took both away
[07:59] <tristan3199> now what
[08:00] <tristan3199> the  clock occupies the top right now
[08:00] <Dr_Willis> tristan3199:  if you can get to a terminal you can use the shutdown command.
[08:00] <tshirt> hi everyboddy. I have a problem running phP. I got blank screens. firefox doesnt showme errors and its activated on php.ini, <IP_ADDRESS> show me it works, apachectl -t = syxtax ok.  i've been testing with simple things as phpinfo() or helloworld.  Any idea? I'm all ears
[08:00] <intok>  Dr_Willis which version? rebadges or original G80?
[08:00] <Dr_Willis> tristan3199:  the top right button is just  a panel applet.
[08:00] <tristan3199> will it reload?
[08:00] <Dr_Willis> intok:  No idea. Ive had it for ages.
[08:00] <haskellnoob> where does the ACL fit in? the firewall? the dhcp server?
[08:00] <tristan3199> guess ill find out... brb
[08:00] <Dr_Willis> tristan3199:  you could try 'killall gnome-panel' and thepanels should reload
[08:00] <Flyingwatermelon> phlak_user, I had an error, http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=uEAZAupv
[08:00] <Dr_Willis> !resetpanel | tristan3199
[08:01] <aussie114> tristan3199: yes it is safe to turn your PC off at the wall or by hold down your power button, it in no way effects your computer
[08:01] <ubuntunewbie> hi anyone here know any application which can change folder timestamp ?
[08:01] <robin___> I'm burning a disk for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
[08:01] <intok>  Dr_Willis how many Mb of VRam, the G80 models had 320-640Mb, the rebadged models had 512Mb
[08:01] <robin___> Should I use it "Like a USB Flash Drive" or "WIth a CD/DVD Player"?
[08:01] <tristan3199> wow... a little too many options
[08:01] <tristan3199> ill try as many as i can
[08:01] <Dr_Willis> intok:  its the lower ram model. one of the first  ones that came out i recall. It cant do the vpdau stuff i recall
[08:02] <Dr_Willis> tristan3199:   2 is too many? :)
[08:02] <Dr_Willis> tristan3199:  im not even sure what your original problem is/was
[08:02] <tristan3199> well plus ubot
[08:03] <ManDay> Anyone knows how disable most of the logs? Do they all go through syslogd or any other way to disable them centrally?
[08:03] <Dr_Willis> tristan3199:  when i hit the power button on my pc's it pops up a shutdown dialog here.  I rrely need that power button in the panel
[08:04] <Erick_Alcala> so uhmm
[08:04] <tristan3199> thanks
[08:04] <ubuntunewbie> hi anyone here know any application which can change folder timestamp ?
[08:04] <phlak_user> Flyingwatermelon: did you type sudo before your command?
[08:04] <intok> Dr_Willis then it's a G80, mine is a 320Mb from EVGA, refrence design, fhqwhgads then... possibly the chipset? It's an nforce 680i LT from XFX
[08:04] <EvaLuaTe> hello world

[08:12] <rocket16> linux: Well, the default wallpapers are located in /usr/share/backgrounds/
[08:12] <edmond> how to use wifi in ubuntu 10.04???
[08:12] <edmond> anyone?
[08:12] <aussie114> edmond: I was having wifi problems with 10.04 but a recent update fixed it, have you got the latest update?
[08:13] <edmond> well...the only connection that I have is through wifi...I DO NOT HAVE ETHERNET
[08:13] <linux> rocket16, i am trying to use .gif for my bg using http://zzer.wordpress.com/2009/03/28/ubuntu-debian-linux-minihowto-howto-set-put-an-animated-background-wallpaper-with-a-video-mpg-avi-gif-flash-etc-using-xwinwrap-mplayer-and-gnash/
[08:13] <tristan3199> what can i do?
[08:13] <rocket16> linux: Also, go to .cache/wallpaper folder to get the current wallpapers, :D
[08:13] <linux> rocket16, plz help
[08:13] <edmond> only wifi internet from open wifi points....any hand for help
[08:13] <rocket16> linux: Sure, let me see it once
[08:14] <ubuntunewbie> phlak_user : how do I change the second too ?
[08:14] <linux> ok
[08:14] <tristan3199> mount: mounting /dev failed: no such device.... what is it mounting?
[08:14] <aussie114> edmond: oh I see, then you will have to find an alternative internet source temporary.
[08:14] <brand0n> anyone know of a simpler program than dvd::rip for extracting episodes from a video dvd and making them into avi files
[08:14] <tristan3199> why didnt 9.10 have an issue?
[08:14] <ManDay> Aren't the directories in /var/log necessary because some logging programs will not create them if they not exist and will instead fail to log?
[08:14] <edmond> thanks man...but for now, that is not possible....
[08:15] <phlak_user> tristan3199: if it is a non-critical device you could comment it out in /etc/fstab; i had this error when i had my 500 GB external HDD connected when installation was going on and it complained everytime it booted
[08:15] <ubuntunewbie> phlak_user : "touch -mt<PHONE_NUMBER>00 /test"  only modified until 10:00 , is there a way to modified until 10:00:20 second ?
[08:15] <brand0n> anyone know of a simpler program than dvd::rip for extracting episodes from a video dvd and making them into avi files
[08:15] <rocket16> linux: Did you try this guide? http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2007/09/14/animated-wallpaper-with-compiz-fusion-on-ubuntu/
[08:15] <rocket16> linux: This one worked for me
[08:15] <Dr_Willis> brand0n:  try handbrake
[08:16] <EvaLuaTe> ^ anyone? please?
[08:16] <phlak_user> ubuntunewbie: -t STAMP               use [[CC]YY]MMDDhhmm[.ss] instead of current time
[08:16] <brand0n> whatchu talkin bout willis
[08:16] <brand0n> thanks Dr_Willis
[08:16] <tristan3199> how do i know which device? it says mount: mounting /dev failed: no such device for like 20 seconds then it has an error i dont have time to read because it just flickers... then starts booting... pretty annoying 20 seconds tho
[08:16] <oxygen> .
[08:16] <linux> rocket16, i need to work .gif
[08:17] <tristan3199> is there a way to record my boot?
[08:17] <brand0n> yea, point a camera at it and stand still
[08:17] <phlak_user> tristan3199: like DrWillis said, if it says just /dev/ and not any partition, there is a deeper issue like
[08:17] <tristan3199> lol brandon
[08:17] <aussie114> brand0n: Handbrake, dvd::rip and AcidRip are good
[08:17] <linux> rocket16, thanks i tried that it worked for me but i wanna use .gif
[08:18] <ubuntunewbie> phlak_user : thanks it works ! sorry didn't really read through the unix page
[08:18] <ubuntunewbie> phlak_user : so unix really doesn't have creation time like window ?
[08:18] <tristan3199> whats the diff between unix and linux... unix is for servers?
[08:19] <Flyingwatermelon> phlak_user, it says it will take 4 hours to upgrade, am I safe to close my computer screen? it might go into hybernate mode? should I change this
[08:19] <rocket16> tristan39: No, UNIX is the commercial OS, from which the UNIX family started. Linux is a free Clone of UNIX.
[08:20] <Dr_Willis> tristan3199:  technicaly they are 2 difffent OS's - :)  Linux is UNIX Like. :)
[08:20] <rocket16> linux: Well, you can set it up using E17 WM, which has .gif wallpapers
[08:20] <Dr_Willis> Linux is not Unix.
[08:20] <phlak_user> Flyingwatermelon: sure you can leave it (i left it overnight)
[08:20] <tristan3199> is unix an upgrade?
[08:20] <Dr_Willis> tristan3199:  its a completey differnt OS
[08:20] <Flyingwatermelon> phlak_user, I want to close the screen though
[08:20] <Flyingwatermelon> labtop
[08:21] <phlak_user> Flyingwatermelon: dont close the lid
[08:21] <Flyingwatermelon> how can I change the settings so it won't sleep? phlak_user
[08:21] <tristan3199> should i try it or is unix and laptop not a good idea
[08:21] <murderslastcrow> Unix was made by Bell Labs originally, right? Isn't it more of a specification these days than an actual OS?
[08:21] <linux> ok where i get E17 WM
[08:21] <Dr_Willis> tristan3199:  since you dont even know what it is.. I suggest you learn some linux first
[08:21] <Flyingwatermelon> phlak_user,  Will the screen go dark?
[08:21] <linux> rocket16,
[08:21] <phlak_user> Flyingwatermelon: after a while yes
[08:21] <Flyingwatermelon> i can't sleep with the light on lol
[08:22] <aussie114> set a black wallpaper?
[08:22] <tristan3199> im a quick learner... not scared to erase my hard drive to learn more
[08:22] <murderslastcrow> e17 has repositories on their website if you look for it. I'd just google e17 repository lucid, if you're using Lucid Lynx.
[08:22] <rocket16> linux: Here is the installation-guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=20216
[08:22] <Dr_Willis> !manual | tristan3199
[08:22] <linux> ok thnx
[08:22] <TwoshedsJackson> Flyingwatermelon, Why don't you check your settings and disable all screensavers, sleep mode or hibernation?
[08:22] <phlak_user> Flyingwatermelon: some laptops have an option Fn+F7  to turn off display
[08:22] <tristan3199> lol ubottu
[08:22] <tristan3199> sorry
[08:22] <tristan3199> im passed that
[08:23] <Dr_Willis> tristan3199:  you just replied back to the channel robot. :)
[08:24] <tristan3199> why did it pick me to way that to
[08:24] <murderslastcrow> I have the url you need to put in Software Sources for e17 in Lucid, if anyone wants it outright.
[08:24] <TwoshedsJackson> tristan3199, You don't want to run unix. It's not an average joe's OS. If you think it's difficult getting certain things to work in ubuntu, probably the most widely used linux distribution, imagine what it would be like in unix
[08:24] <Dr_Willis> tristan3199:  if you want to learn.. then start learning I guess.. No idea what you want tolearn exactly
[08:25] <khussein78> i just lost the sound on my ubuntu 10.04, how can i restart it without restart the laptop
[08:25] <tristan3199> just want to find the right os for me
[08:25] <murderslastcrow> Linux is not Unix, but I'm not aware of anything Unix can do that Linux can't.
[08:25] <tristan3199> W7 is slow as shit
[08:25] <tristan3199> linux is fun
[08:25] <Dr_Willis> tristan3199:  dozens of linux and other os's on Disrtowatch web site you can try out.
[08:25] <tristan3199> learning the kde thing now... cant get it online yet
[08:25] <Dr_Willis> tristan3199:  it all depends on your needs.
[08:26] <khussein78> i restarted alsa service but no sound
[08:26] <tristan3199> i want my laptop to play left4dead2 and quake ect...
[08:26] <murderslastcrow> khussein78 seems to have a legitimate issue outside of general DE stuff we're talking about right now.
[08:26] <tristan3199> movies and torrents....
[08:27] <Dr_Willis> tristan3199:  ubuntu basically  has all that covered.
[08:27] <phlak_user> khussein78: pulseaudio should be the one controlling sound
[08:27] <bawww> hey all
[08:27] <brijithmac> bawww:hi
[08:27] <tristan3199> ill keep ubuntu for sure... was thinking of running unix in VM to see if i like it..
[08:28] <murderslastcrow> It's true. Thank goodness we have Wine. It's kinda' crazy to think they've been working on it for 15 years out of the goodness of their hearts.
[08:28] <tristan3199> later in life i spose
[08:28] <phlak_user> !ot
[08:28] <tristan3199> anyone play l4d2 here?
[08:28] <Dr_Willis> tristan3199:  if you want games/wine - you proberly dont want unix.
[08:28] <murderslastcrow> You can always toy around with FreeBSD or PCBSD, tristian3199.
[08:28] <Dr_Willis> tristan3199:  with the same desktop - the os's will basically look the same.
[08:28] <bawww> i'm trying to get grub2 recognize my Windows XP partition on Lucid, but update-grub isn't working. Is there anyway I can manually add the entry?
[08:29] <thomas_> any recommendations of editors for web development?
[08:29] <phlak_user> bawww: update-grub2
[08:29] <murderslastcrow> Kompozer is what I use, primarily. It's popular, but certainly not the only option for web-editing/development.
[08:29] <phlak_user> thomas_: eclipse is used by many people
[08:30] <bawww> phlak_user:  thanks
[08:30] <murderslastcrow> You could even use OpenOffice to create basic webpages, but I wouldn't recommend it for anything advanced.
[08:30] <bawww> you know what the problem seems to be with Windows 7 eating up XP's boot loader
[08:31] <thomas_> many thanks people
[08:31] <thomas_> :-)
[08:31] <bawww> phlak_user: is there anyway i can separate XP from Window 7?
[08:31] <bawww> like by adding a manual entry... ?
[08:32] <tristan3199> ok.. so a question about my grub... my W7 was installed first and my Windows grub loads first with the option for windows7 or ubuntu.... Grub 2 asks what version of ubuntu... can i make the first grub load ubuntu as default instead of secondary
[08:32] <Dr_Willis> bawww:  you can tweak the files in /etc/grub.d/   and add your own endtirs.
[08:33] <bawww> Dr_Willis: is that the 40_custom file?
[08:33] <Dr_Willis> tristan3199:  theres a program in the repos called 'startupmanager' that lets you pick what grub entry is the default
[08:33] <tristan3199> where do i find repos
[08:33] <Dr_Willis> bawww:  thats one way. but  I would think grub2 is suspposed to see both os's and add an entry for both
[08:33] <infid> seahorse says it integrates with nautilus but i dont seem to see it anywhere in nautilus. any idea?
[08:33] <Dr_Willis> !repos | tristan3199
[08:33]  * Dr_Willis wonders if that ubuntu manual covers repositories.. or is that in the advanced manual.
[08:34] <tristan3199> in terminal
[08:35] <blood> i'm having an issue with sed in ubuntu 10.04 with sed 4.2.1. The following command errors out when it shouldn't : echo '[restart]' | sed -n '/\[restart\]/p'
[08:35] <murderslastcrow> I'm having a bit of an issue with a new wireless dongle- it's supposedly supported by p54usb, which requires a firmware installation (not available in hardware drivers), and since I use 64-bit, I can't use ndiswrapper for it. However, it's supposedly working for some, I just can't get the firmware extraction to work. Says I have no permission even with sudo.
[08:35] <bawww> Dr_Willis: thanks for the tip :)
[08:35] <sharu> hey fellas m a noob in ubuntu...
[08:35] <sharu> i need a help...
[08:35] <sharu> sm1 up for it...
[08:36] <TwoshedsJackson> !ask |
[08:36] <Dr_Willis> !manual | sharu
[08:36] <murderslastcrow> What's the issue, sharu?
[08:36] <Flannel> Dr_Willis: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/add-applications/C/adding-repos.html
[08:36] <prep> sharu:what is y problem?
[08:36] <sharu> i need to install wireless driver for ubuntu 10.04.
[08:37] <sharu> does sm1 knw...???
[08:37] <prep> sharu: systeme=>administration==>hardware driver
[08:37] <digifor> Is it possible to convert a dm-crypt LUKS root partion to btrfs?
[08:37] <murderslastcrow> Okay, first you'll want to plug your computer into an ethernet port so that you can download the driver.
[08:37] <zcat[1]> plug in temporary wired network...
[08:37] <zcat[1]> then systeme=>administration==>hardware driver
[08:37] <murderslastcrow> Then update, to be safe, and go to System/Administration/Hardware Drivers.
[08:37] <zcat[1]> yeah, what murderslastcrow said ;)
[08:37] <sharu> nthng is cmng there dude...
[08:38] <prep> sharu: or juste in the shell try lspci and download the driver
[08:38] <murderslastcrow> Sometimes you have to run Update Manager before it will list your drivers in Hardware Drivers.
[08:38] <sharu> i did dat...
[08:38] <CaptainTrek> is there a way to set the system to automount NTFS partitions?
[08:38] <Dr_Willis> I find it much easier to use a wired connection first  for wireless.
[08:38] <phlak_user> CaptainTrek: add them to /etc/fstab
[08:38] <Dr_Willis> CaptainTrek:  yes. One way install/run the ntfs-config tool..  other way.. edit fstab as needed
[08:38] <zcat[1]> also first thing try the network thingy (make sure the wireless is turned on, most lappies have a switch to dissable it) and it may already be working .. 100% of the laptops I've installed recently needed no extra drivers to get wireless going
[08:39] <murderslastcrow> sharu, are you on a laptop with an integrated wireless card, or are you using a USB-enabled wireless adapter?
[08:39] <sharu> i already installed d updates...
[08:39] <phlak_user> sharu: what make/model is your laptop
[08:39] <sharu> it 's a wireless broadband
[08:39] <sharu> acer aspire 4736z
[08:40] <phlak_user> sharu: not wifi?
[08:40] <sharu> plz help sm1...
[08:40] <sharu> no...
[08:40] <phlak_user> sharu: can you provide some more details on the "Wireless Broadband"?
[08:40] <murderslastcrow> I believe that computer has an Atheros card.
[08:40] <murderslastcrow> Sharu*
[08:40] <sharu> yup..it has an atheros card...
[08:41] <linux> phlak_user, hi succeeded making ,gif play but it is plaving only once and stop
[08:41] <murderslastcrow> This means it should automatically be loaded, not needing to be installed with Hardware Drivers- that's usually for Broadcom cards.
[08:41] <phlak_user> sharu: are you trying to get your Wi-Fi working or some other form of Wireless Broadband?
[08:41] <archangelpetro> has anyone tried to install GNUSTEP and set up a decent working environment for objc on ubuntu? I was trying to install it and there's a bug regarding Gorm.app
[08:41] <phlak_user> linux: you may need to enable looping somewhere
[08:41] <sharu> no, i jus need to activate wireless connection in ubuntu
[08:41] <murderslastcrow> So you might need to just right click the network manager in the upper right of your screen and enable wireless, or check your laptop for a wifi switch or light and make sure it's on.
[08:43] <linux> phlak_user, what loop set in this mplayer -nosound -loop 0 -fixed-vo -wid 0 YOUR.gif
[08:43] <AnxiousNut> whats the difference between  "apt-get upgrade" and "aptitude safe-upgrade"?
[08:43] <linux> phlak_user, i wanna unlimited
[08:43] <archangelpetro> nobody has tried to code objective-C?
[08:44] <sharu> hey phlak, i don knw wat u asking...
[08:44] <sharu> m a real noob...
[08:44] <phlak_user> sharu: are you trying to connect  to a wifi router at your house or is it a 3G usb dongle
[08:44] <sharu> house
[08:44] <phlak_user> sharu: ah ok
[08:45] <sharu> so temme wat to do..?
[08:45] <phlak_user> sharu: can you see any networks when you click on Network Manager?
[08:45] <sharu> where do i get network manager
[08:46] <overmind> sharu: sudo apt-get install network-manager (But it is installed by default)
[08:46] <linux> how to set loop to infinity
[08:46] <phlak_user> sharu: top right corner of screen
[08:46] <phlak_user> linux: mplayer -loop 0 means infinity
[08:47] <Colloguy> hello, can I give my sudo-ed commands an environment variable setting automatically?
[08:47] <linux> but i plays only one time
[08:47] <phlak_user> linux: can you try it separately with mplayer first?
[08:47] <Colloguy> kind of like sudo env myvar=myval command, but without having to use env
[08:47] <linux> phlak_user, xwinwrap -ni -o 0.6 -fs -s -st -sp -b -nf -- mplayer -wid WID -quiet mplayer -nosound -loop 0 -fixed-vo -wid 0 /home/vikas/Pictures/Photos/matrix.gif
[08:48] <phlak_user> linux: try without the xwinwrap and only mplayer
[08:48] <linux> ko
[08:49] <phlak_user> linux: if its the matrix animation, there is a glmatrix screensaver that you can use instead of the gif
[08:49] <phlak_user> linux: xwinwrap -ni -argb -fs -s -st -sp -nf -b -- /usr/lib/xscreensaver/glmatrix -window-id WID
[08:49] <linux> ya i know but i have blue matrix
[08:49] <Dr_Willis> lot of work for just a wallpaper... :)
[08:50] <linux> it has good animation
[08:50] <Dr_Willis> Colloguy:  some of the options to sudo make it use the root users configs/settings instead of the users settings. but im not sure if that would help in your case
[08:51] <linux> phlak_user, it is not playing at all
[08:51] <phlak_user> linux: with only mplayer or glmatrix?
[08:51] <CaptainTrek> should NTFS partitions automount already?
[08:51] <Colloguy> Dr_Willis: I'll check that out, thanks.
[08:51] <phlak_user> CaptainTrek: if they were present during installation yes
[08:51] <CaptainTrek> phlak_user: even with ntfsutils and the FUZE packages for NTFS?
[08:52] <CaptainTrek> phlak_user: where can I change the system policies regarding automount?
[08:52] <linux> phlak_user, mplayer -nosound -loop 0 -fixed-vo -wid 0 /home/vikas/Pictures/Photos/matrix.gif
[08:52] <scottand> i just got my favorite game to run in wine
[08:52] <phlak_user> linux: there you go; till this works, dont even try with xwinwrap
[08:53] <CaptainTrek> how can i tell my system to automount external media?
[08:53] <tyler_d4> how would I go about auto-starting a raid array created using palimpsest?
[08:53] <murderslastcrow> Is anyone here experienced in solving some relatively obscure wireless adapter issues? There's a driver I need to use outside of ndiswrapper, since it won't work on my x64 desktop. I have a forum post for easy reading if anyone has a clue, and it would be greatly appreciated if you have any valuable input. Thank you. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9382215#post9382215
[08:53] <linux> i did, not working at all
[08:53] <linux> phlak_user,
[08:54] <Colloguy> Dr_Willis: Maybe I'll just replace sudo with a function that uses env :P
[08:54] <phlak_user> linux: remove the -wid option since that is not part of mplayer
[08:54] <linux> phlak_user, ok and can u come pvt
[08:54] <phlak_user> linux: nope
[08:55] <Dr_Willis> CaptainTrek:  a proper entry in fstab can do that.
[08:55] <linux> phlak_user, wanna show output
[08:55] <Dr_Willis> CaptainTrek:  ntfs-config tool has options to allow it for ntfs/vfat also
[08:55] <phlak_user> linux: pastebin it
[08:55] <CaptainTrek> Dr_Willis:  its not mounting or seeing ANY media except for the filesystem
[08:55] <CaptainTrek> it used to do it
[08:55] <Dr_Willis> CaptainTrek:  look at 'sudo fdisk -l' output. if that dosent show the media. then theres bigger issues
[08:56]  * phlak_user is outta here bye
[08:56] <CaptainTrek> Dr_Willis:  gparted sees the media
[08:56] <tristan3199> how do i add an applet i closed back to the top bar
[08:57] <Dr_Willis> tristan3199:  right click , add to panel -> add it back
[08:57] <tristan3199> i closed the one that had my log out option... with my name in it...
[08:57] <CaptainTrek> Dr_Willis:  and fdisk sees the media
[08:57] <Dr_Willis> !resetpanels
[08:57] <Dr_Willis> CaptainTrek:  then you should be able to either make a fstab entry for it. or use ntfs-config
[08:58] <CaptainTrek> ntfs-config doesnt see them either
[08:58] <CaptainTrek> Dr_Willis:  ^
[08:58] <Dr_Willis> CaptainTrek:  and they are NTFS filesystems?
[08:58] <CaptainTrek> on the other drive I had, yes
[08:58] <murderslastcrow> *sigh* At least I'm not using a Mac. Then I'd have to hash out a fortune for a compatible wireless dongle.
[08:58] <Dr_Willis> example fstab entry for my NTFS windows drive.->

[08:59] <CaptainTrek> how do I get the UUID for a device?
[08:59] <Dr_Willis> murderslastcrow:  or just buy an iDongle
[08:59] <Dr_Willis> !uuid
[08:59] <CaptainTrek> and where's fstab?
[08:59] <Dr_Willis> !fstab
