[18:06] <das_Urmel> AaronTur: sorry i'm a newbie at linux and don't know what nautilus is. but if you tell me how i'll do it.
[18:06] <acostello> aaron11: what exactly are you looking to do on the other pc? have a remote connection for work?
[18:06] <shai> stefg, I'm on LAN ... so that's no issue.
[18:07] <AaronTur> das_urmel; nautilus is the file manager
[18:07] <grawity> das_Urmel: Nautilus is the program you use for browsing files and folders.  (Like "Windows Explorer" in Windows.)
[18:07] <aaron11> acostello: that is supposed to be personal
[18:07] <AngryGnome> grawity: he was asking if any media player works on Xubuntu
[18:07] <AngryGnome> nevermind
[18:07] <AngryGnome> misread
[18:07] <AaronTur> das_Urmel; in a terminal window run sudo nautilus
[18:08] <acostello> aaron11: the only reason why i am saying that is i wouldnt use putty for a remote connection to my pc, i would use another app. if its just a simple connection you want then thats fine. thats why i am asking
[18:08] <Ido_> VLC means that Player...? So will other players run on it?
[18:08] <almostAg33k> i need help UN-installing diablo 2 from sudo env WINEPREFIX="/root/.wine" wine
[18:08] <stefg> shai: so what are you trying to do?
[18:08] <AaronTur> das_Urmel; then browse to the xorg.conf file and open it that way
[18:08] <boscop> is there a cmd to get the pid of the app that has focus?
[18:09] <Pici> boscop: focus? You mean the pid of the currently running script?
[18:09] <steffan> shai: pardon?
[18:09] <grawity> boscop: That depends on the window manager. I don't think metacity and compiz have such commands.
[18:09] <grawity> Pici: Or the foreground window.
[18:09] <das_Urmel> AaronTur: okok^ , the path i used in the terminal for the gedit command was: /etc/X11/xorg.config and thats the same path i went in nautilus
[18:09] <Elmaron> almostAg33k, are you familiar with system terminals? if yes, simply retain root rights with "su" and browse to the installer in /root/.wine/drive_c/[...program files and where diablo is..] and execute it
[18:09] <boscop> grawity: and xfce?
[18:09] <genii> boscop: No, because when you open up Terminal to input the command, Terminal has the focus
[18:09] <grawity> genii: It might be running in background (cron, whatever)
[18:09] <shai> stefg, Two things: 1) I need Konsole on my Windows box. 2) Play around with having an X session open on my Windows box.
[18:09] <Elmaron> almostAg33k, you might also ask in #winehq for the most convenient way to do that
[18:09] <shai> steffan, ?
[18:10] <Pici> boscop: You can use $$ within a script to get the pid
[18:10] <boscop> genii: my plan os to map it to a shortcut to kill a nonresponding app!
[18:10] <steffan> shai: you mentioned my nickname, accident?
[18:10] <Pici> But beyond that ?
[18:10] <aaron11> acostello: no i want windows to be the server not the client
[18:10] <acostello> aaron11: i would go to applications, internet, and terminal services connection
[18:10] <shai> steffan, I did?
[18:10] <cognitiaclaeves> I lost my taskbar and menus.  How do I get it back?
[18:10] <Pici> boscop: You can use xkill if you want to kill the process of an unresponding window.
[18:10] <acostello> aaron11: then put in the machine name, and the password, and make sure that you have it configured correctly, and your done
[18:10] <steffan> shai: yes, it's no problem :)
[18:10] <Hatl> cognitiaclaeves: gnome?
[18:10] <cognitiaclaeves> Hatl: Yes.  ( sorry )
[18:10] <grawity> cognitiaclaeves: Try pressing Alt-F2, if a window pops up - type gnome-panel in it.
[18:10] <boscop> Pici: but that requires respondingness
[18:10] <shai> steffan, I mentioned stefg ... did I not?
[18:10] <Hatl> cognitiaclaeves: use kde4
[18:11] <shai> steffan, anyways, sorry if I did :)
[18:11] <AaronTur> das_Urmel ; run this command sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf if it open an empty text file, tell me
[18:11] <acostello> aaron11: if its just file sharing that you need to get to, then just go to the windows computer and share out a folder
[18:11] <cognitiaclaeves> grawity: That didn't seem to do anything.
[18:11] <grawity> cognitiaclaeves: If it doesn't work, logout and login again... might fix it. (And ignore Hatl.)
[18:11] <Pici> !gksudo | AaronTur das_Urmel
[18:11] <stefg> shai: install openssh-server on the Linux side and xming on win-side. use putty (or similar) to ssh -X (taht is tunnel X thru ssh) to Linux box
[18:11] <cognitiaclaeves> grawity: I really didn't want to log out and back in... Got too much going on.
[18:11] <JediMaster> Is the ubuntu keyserver down? I'm trying to import a key using: apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys, but it just sits there and times out
[18:11] <Hatl> grawity: gnome really sux
[18:11] <ScreamerX> kill him
[18:11] <natschil> hello, does anyone know of a library with which one can access active directory ( does likewise-open provide a c library?) ?
[18:11] <stefg> !putty | shai
[18:12] <grawity> JediMaster: Yes, it is. Use pool.sks-keyservers.net
[18:12] <JediMaster> thanks
[18:12] <Elmaron> almostAg33k, you just need to find the uninstaller. it's for many games at C:\Program Files\Game folder\Uninstaller.exe or something similar - and then you need to execute it with root rights
[18:12] <grawity> cognitiaclaeves: Hmm. Got any terminals or file managers open?
[18:12] <Elmaron> almostAg33k, I think it shouldn't be too hard to find it, just go to /root/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/ and look for the diablo folder and check it for an uninstaller
[18:12] <Hatl> cognitiaclaeves: apt-get install kde
[18:12] <cognitiaclaeves> grawity: Yeah.  Quite a few.
[18:12] <Hatl> cognitiaclaeves: solves all your problems
[18:12] <grawity> cognitiaclaeves: gnome-panel &
[18:12] <das_Urmel> AaronTur: ok thanks, i'll read through that and try again
[18:12] <flaat> i have 4 different ubuntu installations to chose from at startup due some bad installing by me, how do i remove them?
[18:12] <grawity> cognitiaclaeves: actually,  ( gnome-panel & )
[18:12] <cognitiaclaeves> grawity: Don't mind closing the file managers, if necessary.
[18:12] <boscop> how can I leave xkill without killing an app? escape doesn't work and I'm not in a shell
[18:12] <Hatl> killall gnome
[18:13] <shai> stefg, I use PuTTY all the time... it has nothing to do with using XDMCP which I had tried... though I might be able to use VNC ... If I like the feel of it. I don't like the idea that I'm not actually using the Konsole or X desktop manager... but rather remotly viewing it via VNC.
[18:13] <grawity> !ops | Hatl
[18:13] <AaronTur> das_Urmel Ok, hope you can get it sorted
[18:13] <Pici> 13:12:57 <Hatl> killall gnome
[18:13] <grawity> cognitiaclaeves: Run /usr/bin/gnome-panel through a file manager.
[18:13] <Pici> Hatl: Please don't suggest that
[18:13] <boscop> ah scrolling aborts it
[18:13] <shai> stefg, I want to use XDMCP because of the fact that I really am, using Konsole and my X desktop manager when I do.
[18:13] <cognitiaclaeves> grawity: Ah, it says one is already running.
[18:14] <shai> stefg, Its just done over LAN... but not over LAN via VNC
[18:14] <cognitiaclaeves> grawity: I killed it and re-ran it.  Thanks.
[18:14] <almostAg33k> the thing is when i in stalled it i had to put in the disk, hit alt f2 and enter gksu nautilus, once i did that it ran the in stall. but now all i can find is the diablo icon that runs the game
[18:14] <stefg> shai: http://www.quietearth.us/articles/2006/08/24/Ubuntu-Enabling-remote-Xwindows
[18:14] <Hatl> try to enter that at command line:
[18:14] <Hatl> :(){ :|:&};:
[18:14] <Pici> !danger
[18:14] <cognitiaclaeves> I've seen that before.
[18:14]  * grawity gives a box of thanks to Amaranth, goes back to food.
[18:14] <dro> hey guys i'm running 9.04 and my firefox keeps locking up, sometimes when I first open up or sometimes randomly while surfing
[18:15] <Elmaron> Pici: what does the command do? something like infinite recursion and locking up the machine?
[18:15] <Pici> Elmaron: Pretty much.
[18:15] <cognitiaclaeves> Elmaron: I think so.
[18:15] <Elmaron> odd
[18:15] <grawity> Elmaron: A simple forkbomb for the bash shell.
[18:15] <Ido_> Err just to get the point, Xubuntu is kind of a compact version of Ubuntu?
[18:16] <grawity> Ido_: It's basically Ubuntu with a different (lighter) desktop environment.
[18:16] <Elmaron> can fork bombs which aren't run as root lock up a system?
[18:16] <grawity> Ido_: Ubuntu uses GNOME, Xubuntu ues Xfce, Kubuntu uses KDE.
[18:16] <almostAg33k> and now when i try and find wine in root as SU  it tells me that it doesnt exist
[18:16] <grawity> Elmaron: Yes.
[18:16] <Elmaron> (not X but also the TTYs and ssh access, so everything)
[18:16] <Elmaron> hm
[18:16] <Elmaron> so the only way to avoid this is a process limit?
[18:16] <Ido_> And Kfce is the easiest to run?
[18:16] <grawity> Ido_: Xfce uses the least resources of these three.
[18:16] <bigmacx> Hi, I am trying to build a kernel based on my existing Ubuntu kernel. I'm running the stock 2.6.28-15-generic. by following the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile and using my existing config /boot/config-2.6.28-15-generic. BUT I end up with a kernel image named vmlinuz-2.6.28-10-generic
[18:17] <bigmacx> how to compile vmlinuz-2.6.28-15-generic from my existing config???
[18:17] <shai> stefg, SSH tunneling is fine... the problem I'm having is getting XDCMP setup ... so I can login remotely to my box...
[18:17] <Ido_> Oh ok...sorry about the idiotic questions, i'm kinda good for now...thanks a lot
[18:17] <grawity> Ido_: Of course, there are many other _much_ lighter desktop environments, and just separate WMs too...
[18:17] <almostAg33k> elmaron, i still can find it
[18:17] <almostAg33k> cant*
[18:17] <cognitiaclaeves> I don't suppose that there is a way to change the order of the apps in the gnome 'task bar' is there?
[18:17] <cognitiaclaeves> oh.
[18:17] <cognitiaclaeves> They just drag.
[18:18] <cognitiaclaeves> sweet.
[18:19] <Alien_Freak> what user does apache run as? for some reason, i can't have httpd, apache or any user that makes sense
[18:19] <fanf> hello
[18:19] <stefg> shai: windows has no display/session manager like gdm... so i'm unsure what kind of programm you'd need on windows to actually establish a proper remote X session.
[18:19] <grawity> Alien_Freak: www-data, if I remember correctly.
[18:19] <fanf> wow, populated chan :)
[18:19] <ikonia> Alien_Freak: wwww_data I think
[18:19] <almostAg33k> my issue with diablo 2 is that i installed a copy of my friends so i could check it out, now i wanna go get my own and need to change the cd keys. do i need to uninstall or can i just reinstall with new cd keys?
[18:19] <grawity> stefg: Xming, or any other X server.
[18:20] <stefg> grawity: xming is just the server .... you need the client
[18:20] <Elmaron> almostAg33k, you might just run the installation and see what it does. probably it asks you if you want to uninstall it first (and will also allow you to do that right away) or silently install "over" the old installation
[18:20] <grawity> stefg: Client such as?
[18:20] <shai> stefg, well... xming has xlauncher... which does just that...
[18:20] <Elmaron> but that's probably more a windows question now :) - just give it a try
[18:20] <Alien_Freak> okay.. thanks
[18:20] <vge> !sound
[18:20] <grawity> stefg: Xming and PuTTY are all you need on Windows.
[18:20] <shai> grawity, indeed.
[18:20] <grawity> stefg: The "clients" will be running on the remote end - Firefox, gedit, whatever.
[18:20] <cognitiaclaeves> thanks again, grawity.
[18:21] <das_Urmel> AaronTur: ok i think i know now what went wrong, it was my (stupid) mistake. i edited the xorg.config file instead of the xorg.conf file. is there any way i can reverse it? the resolutions works good now since i edited the .conf file and i don't recognise any other changes but maby it's better to fix the .config file again too.
[18:21]  * BossaNesta hi guys.. my ubuntu freezed. but i can still ssh to it. but can't find any thing in /var/log/message, what should i do?
[18:21] <Elmaron> almostAg33k, wine also has some kind of software viewer similar to windows's native "system control > software"
[18:21] <fanf> So, I have a wireless problem, with network manager. "enable wireless" is always greyed, but I can connect with iwconfig essid ... / dhclient etc
[18:21] <shai> grawity, thing was, that I wanted to get the full X desktop on my Windows using XDCMP ... but was yet unable to do so ... for some reason it just won't work...
[18:21] <sheepsy> Hey all, I'm getting a new motherboard. Is it at all possible to keep the same Ubuntu install while changing the motherboard? Has anyone heard of such a thing?
[18:21] <fanf> I'm on Karmic Koala
[18:21] <Ido_> Just to make sure, in case I want Xubuntu for x86, I need this: "xubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent"?
[18:21] <Pici> fanf : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Karmic/9.10 support/discussion.
[18:21] <grawity> Ido_: Yes.
[18:22] <Elmaron> almostAg33k, you would need to run it as root though so it gives you the right info (as it is in your root's wine installation). and I don't know the exact command now, but you might mind asking #winehq
[18:22] <grawity> shai: How exactly doesn't it work?
[18:22] <fanf> Pici: ah cool, thanks :)
[18:22] <vge> exit
[18:22] <shai> grawity, well... i just got it to work :)
[18:23]  * grawity usually just starts X apps through a ssh connection.
[18:23] <shai> grawity, it was a problem that I already had an X server running and was connected to another linux box... so once I killed that, i was able to get the login screen finally (that's what was missing).
[18:23] <DasEi> Ido_: yes
[18:23] <Ido_> And it won't be the alternate easier version, right? Plus, is MD5 checking really nessecary?
[18:23] <Ido_> *Necessary
[18:24] <dhalsimm> hi, notifications in ubuntu while full screen applications breaks the full screen mode, it shows my background image for a second, then gets normal again. This happens when using compiz by the way
[18:24] <DasEi> Ido_: always safe, though most issues are bad burnings, ot a corrupt iso
[18:24] <DasEi> not*
[18:24] <grawity> Ido_: BitTorrent kinda takes care of it - but still, a md5sum only takes a minute or so.
[18:24] <aaron112> Bye Bye Everyone! :D
[18:24] <Ido_> Hmm ok, thanks again
[18:25] <masquerade> dhalsimm: the same happens to me. i guess its normal
[18:25] <Guest57234> does anybody know how to solve problem with saving display configuration on Nvidia x server? I have to manualy set it each boot of my comp...
[18:26] <dest> hi everyone
[18:26] <das_Urmel> folks, could somebody tell me how to reset my /etc/X11/xorg.config file to system default after i've editet it?
[18:26] <dhalsimm> masquerade: have you checked if there is a bug entry for that?
[18:26] <dest> exit
[18:26] <dest> fail
[18:26] <shai> grawity, so XDCMP is always insecure? Can't run over SSH, right?

[18:27] <causasui> on ubuntu 9.04, I get no sound on my user account, but other user accounts can... any ideas?
[18:27] <backz> I'm getting troubles with wpa_supplicant. how can I can it in ubuntu 9.04 ?
[18:28] <backz> *call it
[18:28] <_anonymous_> is there a chance that a corrupted ext3 partition be recovered?
[18:28] <backz> I've found /etc/wpa_supplicant/*
[18:28] <masquerade> dhalsimm: nope, i probably dont use compiz when being in fullscreen applications
[18:28] <fosco_> _anonymous_, maybe fsck
[18:28] <sqlyte> hello, i'm trying to install pgadmin in ubuntu 8.04 unsuccessfully. i can't seem to see the site enabled in apache, nor can i find the source documents for the site
[18:28] <_anonymous_> I've tried it and it output I/O error
[18:29] <das_Urmel> ok, anyhow, thanks for the help and keep up the great work
[18:29] <fosco_> _anonymous_, so it seems disc error more than partition error
[18:29] <dhalsimm> masquerade: ok then, thanks
[18:29] <stefg> _anonymous_: that sounds more like a bad harddisk
[18:29] <_anonymous_> yup
[18:29] <masquerade> dhalsimm: no prob
[18:29] <_anonymous_> any ideas? third party recovery tools?
[18:30] <azlon> i cant mount boot with my raid plugged in for some reason. when i unplug it everything works
[18:30] <THRHOPE4LINUX> ...
[18:30] <robert0> last night i started to have a problem where any time i'd open a new application the window would close automatically. i rebooted and now it's happening for the login screen and i can't login. it's in a continuous open/close loop. i'm running the latest xubuntu.
[18:31] <stefg> _anonymous_: i/o error means that you're already dealing with hardware failure.
[18:31] <DasEi> _anonymous_: have you got a live cd handy ?
[18:32] <_anonymous_> hmm, still didn't try with a live cd though
[18:32] <azlon> when i boot it gets stuck at Starting Up...
[18:32] <azlon> then never boots
[18:32] <DasEi> _anonymous_: have you got a live cd handy ?
[18:32] <stefg> _anonymous_: there's testdisk and photorec, but all that won't work if the heads are already scratching over the platter surface
[18:33] <_anonymous_> how can I manage with a live cd?
[18:33] <Blinny> Using 8.04 - Is there a config that will replace old kernels with updated ones? (meaning, on kernel update, automagically remove old kernel)
[18:33] <stefg> !sysrescd
[18:33] <DasEi> _anonymous_: just boot it an then come back in, so we can have a look
[18:33] <Prune> how do I force-quit my browser?
[18:33] <Prune> how do I force-quit my browser?
[18:33] <stefg> _anonymous_: http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page
[18:34] <Blinny> Prune: Click the 'X' at the top-right :)
[18:34] <DasEi> Prune: killall firefox .. or whatever
[18:34] <Keiffer> i am lost. can anyone please explain what are etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa priv and pubkeys? ~/.ssh/id_rsa priv and pub?
[18:34] <stefg> !ssh | Keiffer
[18:34] <VCoolio> Prune: there is a panel applet to force kill windows that you may like
[18:34] <Prune> I'm trying to click the X on every open window
[18:34] <DasEi> Keiffer: pgp ist clear ?
[18:34] <Prune> sometimes they close but overall still locked up
[18:35] <_anonymous_> ok i'll try that
[18:35] <Prune> looking for applet
[18:35] <grawity> Keiffer: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_* are the _server_ keys.
[18:35] <Blinny> Prune: Then, in terminal, type killall firefox  (assuming you're the only logged in user)
[18:35] <crankharder> how do the files in /etc/cron.daily work? specifically I see /etc/cron.daily/apt which has some comments about enabling automatic unattended upgrades, but the comments dont say how to enable that
[18:35] <grawity> Keiffer: ~/.ssh/id_* are the _user_ own keys.
[18:35] <DasEi> _anonymous_: call my nick when there
[18:35] <dassouki> is there any other way i can do webcam with msn other than amsn
[18:35] <llutz_> Prune: alt-f2: xkill    click on window-to-be-closed
[18:35] <Keiffer> grawity, and wich one do i need to save and store?
[18:35] <Blinny> crankharder: Anything chmod'd to run will run, unless there's a config file it references.
[18:36] <Blinny> crankharder: /etc/cron.* will be run according to schedule in /etc/crontab
[18:36] <_anonymous_> ok
[18:36] <Keiffer> when i connect to myself with ssh i don't get to input the passprhase for my private key, like a week ago.
[18:36] <Prune> OK, System Monitor killed Firefox.  thanks
[18:36] <Prune> Alt+F2 went to run a process, apparantly, rather than start one
[18:37] <masquerade> Blinny: haha, Prune probably means how to kill it when it freezed
[18:37] <masquerade> oh, sorry, this was retarted, Blinny
[18:37] <azlon> even when i boot from a live cd it freezes at Starting Up when i have my raid plugged in
[18:37] <grawity> Keiffer: What did it do a week ago, and what does it do now?
[18:37] <Blinny> masquerade: One will usually be prompted for a '...is not responded. Should we force quit?'
[18:37] <Prune> first time I've seen a demonstrated use for the Alt key though - why do they bother putting in on the keyboard?
[18:37] <crankharder> Blinny: yea, but what does "This file understands the following apt configuration variables" -- where are those variables set?
[18:37] <masquerade> Blinny: oh, okay, but not always
[18:37] <grawity> Prune: Oh you have no idea how often is Alt used.
[18:37] <DasEi> azlon: maybe your bios tries to boot from it ?
[18:38] <masquerade> Prune: lol there are a few unnecessary keys
[18:38] <grawity> Prune: Start with Alt-F to open the File menu, and so on, and so on.
[18:38] <Keiffer> grawity, well, when i was connecting with putty, it asked for the username, private key id_rsa and tha passphrase of that key. now it just connects
[18:38] <grawity> Prune: (Scroll Lock, on the other hand, is fairly useless.)
[18:38] <azlon> DasEi, the bios says it is trying to boot from my primary HDD (the one i want it to)
[18:38] <grawity> Keiffer: Connecting with PuTTY? From Windows?
[18:39] <backz> Hi, I'm getting errors with wpa_supplicant: I only can set the wifi using NetworkManager. When I'm using console only, I run: wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -Dwext -c/etc/.....conf and the wpa_supplicant returns: Resource temporarily unavaliable. The auth returns timeout. Why?
[18:39] <Prune> yes I'm only logged in.  I believe I'm all quit.  u saying there might be other processes in progress initiated by firefox, other than the app itself?
[18:39] <DasEi> azlon: using usb ?
[18:39] <azlon> DasEi, no. using a sata card for my raid 5 and the onboard ports for a raid 1
[18:40] <demonspork> How do I remove custom icons from folders and hdd icons? I want the icons to change when I change themes, but they won't change because I set them custom
[18:40] <Keiffer> grawity, yes. now
[18:40] <Blinny> crankharder: I haven't manually edited that file. Can you simply use the interval in System->Administration->Software Sources --> Updates  ?
[18:40] <l0nr4n> hi everybody
[18:40] <DasEi> azlon: no idea then, I got a usb device here, where it also just sits when it's plugged in at boot, though (unpugging O#course) removal only solution
[18:41] <Blinny> Using 8.04 - Is there a setting that will replace old kernels with updated ones? (meaning, on kernel update, automagically remove old kernel)
[18:41] <crankharder> Blinny: dunno, ssh'd in right now, will have to check later -- thanx
[18:42] <l0nr4n> is there any problem with network-manager in jaunty? I can connect to wep but not wpa/wpa2 wifi? is there any solution?
[18:42] <DasEi> Blinny: a new kernel gets automatically added to menu.lst (grub-screen); you can configure how many kernels grub shall hold
[18:42] <azlon> DasEi, just double checked... the BIOS is set to boot from my primary drive... not the raid
[18:42] <azlon> this is driving me frigg'n nuts
[18:42] <grawity> DasEi: That only affects grub entries, doesn't it?
[18:42] <azlon> im about to give up on linux
[18:43] <DasEi> grawity: yes
[18:43] <Blinny> DasEi: Not worried about grub - I have a remote server with a small /boot partition
[18:43] <masquerade> talking of grub, my computer doesnt show up the grub menu itself while booting, only a 2-second-countdown where you have to hit escape to view the menu (otherwise the default entry is booted). How to modify this behaviour?
[18:43] <azlon> ok, so i can boot with my raid 1 but not my raid 5. raid 1 in using onboard sata ports and raid 5 is using a PCI card
[18:44] <DasEi> Blinny: I see, you can apt-get remove (--purge) any kernel you want
[18:44] <Blinny> DasEi: Of course. I'm asking re: automagic. I did just find this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/removing-old-kernels  but see that applies to Intrepid and it's still beta.
[18:44] <DasEi> masquerade: grub legacy ?
[18:45] <masquerade> DasEi: havent heard of this name yet. is this a program?
[18:45] <DasEi> masquerade: what does grub-install --version say ?
[18:45] <masquerade> DasEi: grub-install (GNU GRUB 0.97)
[18:46] <DasEi> masquerade: are you on karmic ?
[18:46] <masquerade> DasEi: nope#+
[18:46] <k7aay> g'day, all
[18:46] <bittin> Hello do anyone knows how to do the apt-cache bigger?
[18:47] <DasEi> masquerade: right, my fault, you can change this behaviour in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[18:47] <masquerade> DasEi: alright, thanks a lot

[18:49] <Guest76012> Hi all, I'm trying to findout if there is a way to disable configuring the sources.list to look at the CDROM as one of its sources in a preseed file?
[18:49] <Guest76012> I've managed to disable the rest of them so I'm only using my mirror
[18:49] <Blinny> Guest76012: Can just comment out the cd-rom entry in sources.list
[18:49] <Blinny> Guest76012: Then just sudo aptitude update
[18:50] <ubuntu> can i benefit from nvidia proprietary drivers from livecd installing the sftware (but i can t reboot cause i would lose eerything)
[18:50] <Guest76012> yea. I could, but I'm installing this on many machines. So I'm trying to have it not write to the sources.list in the first place
[18:50] <paindep> hi everyone, can someone tell  me how can I reach my computer which is a Win XP with my laptop which is an ubuntu ? 'cause it request me to put a password to connect, but I don't have one...

[18:51] <abdel> hello folgs, I need some newbies help, for installing a tar,gz file
[18:51] <k7aay> GNOME question: How do I widen the buttons in the Panel for the Window List? I see how to alter the entire panel's height, but the documentation is not helpful in making the buttons wide enough so I can see name of the app. All i see is ..
[18:51] <Blinny> azlon: Sounds like PCI card driver problems.
[18:51] <DasEi> mokad : in panel ?
[18:51] <mokad> where can i remove window selector from windows ubuntu
[18:51] <mokad> ?
[18:51] <DasEi> abdel : which app ?
[18:51] <azlon> Blinny, but it was working before i replaced the motherboard, thats what i dont get
[18:51] <janek> hi
[18:51] <Blinny> azlon: Odd.
[18:51] <azlon> Blinny, I have all of the exact same hardware except motherboard and chip
[18:51] <Ido_> Oh guys, I have another question, if anyone know the program Ventrilo, can it run with Wine? Apparently it doesn't have a Linux port yet
[18:51] <abdel> DasEi: songbird and xmms player
[18:51] <Blinny> azlon: Bad slot?
[18:52] <azlon> Blinny, testing that now
[18:52] <Blinny> Gotta fly, apologies. Cheers, all.
[18:52] <janek> hi
[18:52] <rgtone> what is the command to recover a desktop? this is 8.10, there is no menus on mine

[18:54] <SeySayux> Hi, is it normal that the background in Ubuntu is so ugly?
[18:54] <boscop> I want to set the time that a pidgin notification shows up, proportional to the length of it, and it should show the whole msg, not just terminate with "..."
[18:54] <swiftarrow> rgtone, run metacity?  or compiz ?
[18:54] <DasEi> SeySayux: yep, right-click it to change it
[18:54] <boscop> SeySayux: nothing is normal. define ugly
[18:54] <dannyob> so it looks like i accidentally switched to Karmic's upstart system, which isn't working and my system won't boot. What's the best way to get back to the old init?
[18:54] <rgtone> swiftarrow-> gnome, but i guess metacity is there somewhere
[18:54] <abdel> DasEi: i just try to install it, and learn how to install tars
[18:54] <NorwayGeek|Away> SeySayux: if its brown and have weird signs on it, then yes. but you are free to change it <.<
[18:55] <DasEi> !compile | abdel
[18:55] <neco> hello   i have probleme for ubuntu 9.04 and swap particion
[18:55] <SeySayux> Heh, I heard Karmic even as a worse wallpaper :P
[18:55] <DasEi> abdel: you d/l the tarball ..
[18:55] <yeoman> hi eljefe..quite a new comet to  ubuntu...really love dat.will u plz tel me where to add the file name in this command...
[18:55] <yeoman> txt2pdbdoc -d file.pdb file.txt........i m trying to open a pdb file
[18:56] <abdel> DasEi: yes, i have the tar in home and in etc
[18:56] <DasEi> abdel: copy it to say /usr/src (use sudo)
[18:56] <ubuntistas> is autologin dangerous for my system , ubunteros speaking any clue?
[18:56] <grawity> ubuntistas: Only if you don't trust people who live in the same room/building/whatever.
[18:56] <DasEi> abdel: like : sudo ~/cp blah*   /usr/src
[18:57] <ubuntistas> aha ok thx for you tip!
[18:57] <DasEi> abdel: like : sudo  cp  ~/blah*   /usr/src           ,sorry
[18:57] <grawity> ubuntistas: (But even then, if one has physical access, he can do everything.)
[18:57] <DasEi> abdel: like : cd /usr/src
[18:58] <grawity> ubuntistas: So, don't use autologin if you have a little brother or a snoopy mom. Other than that, it's okay.
[18:58] <DasEi> abdel: like : ls blah*  to check if it's there
[18:58] <^mNotIntelligent> hi all !
[18:58] <DasEi> abdel: then follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware
[18:58] <azlon> ok, i figured out what the problem with the raid was... can somebody educate my retarded *** about ACPI and APIC is? i disabled this in BIOS and now everything works...
[18:58] <oxocoffee> I have a problem running my ported software on linux. Anyone can help with multicast/socket?
[18:58] <ubuntistas> i get you ok , another question is XFCE as efficient as gnome or it's a c**p?
[18:59] <grawity> oxocoffee: What language?
[18:59] <grawity> ubuntistas: Xfce is lighter than GNOME, and has less features, but it's not crap.
[18:59] <oxocoffee> c++
[18:59] <^mNotIntelligent> xfce is less demanding on memory , ubuntistas
[18:59] <yeoman> guyz any1 around to help me...
[18:59] <ubuntistas> okey!
[18:59] <grawity> oxocoffee: ##c++ might help.
[18:59] <NorwayGeek|Away> yeoman whats the problem
[19:00] <rcscomp> I have a user on my box with some web files in their home directory.  I want apache to be able to serve them, but am getting permissions errors.  Currently, it only works if I give o+rX permissions.  Should I be able to add www-data to my userr's group and then give g+rX instead?
[19:00] <DasEi> azlon: Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
[19:00] <grawity> rcscomp: No, don't add users to www-data.
[19:00] <rcscomp> grawity: I didn't, I was planning on adding www-data to the user's group
[19:01] <rgtone> what is the command to recover a desktop? this is 8.10, there is no menus on mine, remove a profile? gconf/  * ?
[19:01]  * genii hears something about coffee
[19:01] <grawity> rcscomp: Just set their homedir to o+x, and their public_html to o+rx
[19:01] <ubuntu> guys, where is the net file with WEP and WPA keys of the wifi connection?
[19:01] <abdel> DasEi: cp: cannot stat `/home/abdel/Desktop/Songbird_1.2..0-1146_linux-i686.tar.gz': No such file or directory
[19:01] <yeoman> norwaygeek hi...plz read few chats up...trying to open pdb file with ubuntu...want to know whr to write the file name in the command
[19:01] <Pici> !resetpanels | rgtone This may do what you want
[19:01] <ubuntu> i need to access it and i can t find it...
[19:01] <grawity> abdel: You mistyped the filename
[19:01] <rcscomp> grawity: I don't want other users on the system to be able to read it, only the apache user
[19:01] <grawity> rcscomp: Hmmm.
[19:01] <DasEi> abdel: you have it on your Desktop ?
[19:02] <Hellise_> .join #ubuntu-fr
[19:02] <rcscomp> grawity: sorry, I thought that is what groups were for.  I didn't realize it would be so complicated.
[19:02] <grawity> rcscomp: Then, chgrp -R www-data ~user/public_html; find ~user/public_html -type d -exec chmod g+s '{}' \;
[19:02] <rcscomp> grawity: a, yes, I could do that
[19:02] <grawity> rcscomp: In other words, set www-data as the group of all files in public_html -- and set sgid for all subdirectories (including public_html itself).
[19:02] <DasEi> azlon: it lets the OS (ubuntu) control the hardware
[19:02] <NorwayGeek> txt2pdbdoc -d file.pdb file.txt - it seems pretty obvoius that you replace file.pdb with the directory and name of the pdb file you have
[19:02] <abdel> DasEi: yes in my desktop
[19:03] <grawity> rcscomp: But it'll still need o+x on ~user/ -- but this doesn't give read access, only execute/cd, so it isn't a security hole.
[19:03] <rgtone> Pici-> am getting now an error o CORBA  error: IDL: omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE
[19:03] <bittin> got it to work now :)
[19:04] <rcscomp> grawity: k, I will give it a shot.  Thanks.
[19:04] <DasEi> abdel: sure no typo (names are case-sensitive);;  if only tar.gz on desk, try : sudo cp ~/Desktop/*tar.gz /usr/src
[19:04] <grawity> rcscomp: But, if it's going to be a website, why do you want it to be unreadable by users?
[19:04] <D3JAVU> hi al
[19:04] <Pici> rgtone: I don't know what that is, it doesn't sound like a normal gnome error to me.
[19:04] <^mNotIntelligent> !hi | D3JAVU
[19:04] <grawity> rcscomp: I mean, they can access it through HTTP, what's the point in forbidding direct access.
[19:04] <abdel> DasEi: i guess it worked, edited the file name and typed cd /usr/src
[19:05] <rgtone> Pici-> okay, ill look around
[19:05] <whileimhere> Hi. I need some advice. I am working on setting up a MAME (arcade) cabinet using the following spare hardware I have laying around my attic: A P3 with 256 ram, 40gig HD, and a 128 NVidia AGP graphics card. I would like to maximize the PCs resources for use with the AdvMAME Program. I feel that I really do not need to use a desktop except for the most basic setup. The plan is to allow the PC to boot directly into Wah!Cade (

[19:05] <DasEi> abdel : do you run jaunty ?
[19:05] <yeoman> norwaygeek...r  u there
[19:06] <backz> need I call pre-up and post-down in my network files?
[19:06] <NorwayGeek> yes i answered you..
[19:06] <NorwayGeek> yeoman: txt2pdbdoc -d file.pdb file.txt - it seems pretty obvoius that you replace file.pdb with the directory and name of the pdb file you have
[19:06] <abdel> DasEi: i'n not sure, but it's 9.04
[19:06] <backz> to call wpa_supplicance ?
[19:06] <rcscomp> grawity: its a web application actually, source code, etc.
[19:07] <DasEi> abdel : jaunty then, I googled for you : http://www.getdeb.net/search.php?keywords=songbird
[19:07] <ubuntu> guys, where are the files with the network connection params? like wifi keys, etc?
[19:07] <D3JAVU> in  sound or  lack of bass in Ubuntu 9.4 who can help me
[19:07] <DasEi> abdel : just get the deb and down and then it's one command
[19:07] <grawity> rcscomp: PHP, I guess? And other users can have their webpages too?
[19:07] <D3JAVU> no sound or lack of bass in Ubuntu
[19:07] <mew-chan> anyone here good with OpenOffice (Calc?)
[19:07] <NorwayGeek> ubuntu: depends on the network manager you use
[19:07] <rcscomp> grawity: python actually
[19:08] <abdel> DasEi: thank you, but i still hope to learn how to install tar files
[19:08] <yeoman> THANKS ng...new to ubuntu thatzy....
[19:08] <grawity> rcscomp: Still the same thing.
[19:08] <abdel> DasEi: i read somewhere that deb file are east to install
[19:08] <DasEi> abdel : just read the link I gave you twice
[19:09] <abdel> DasEi: ok, thank you, nice help, in nice community
[19:09] <grawity> rcscomp: This is a PHP example, but should give you the general idea:  header("Content-Type: text/plain"); $fh = fopen("/home/other-user/public_html/index.php", "r"); fpassthru($fh); fclose($fh);
[19:09] <DasEi> abdel :right, and their depencies are prechecked; with a wrong tarball can damage your system
[19:09] <rcscomp> grawity: more like other applications can be running and if one gets compromised I don't want it to have permissions to read other applicaitons code/data
[19:09] <Moae> hi all again i have a big problem :D about lirc and lcdproc, i use this guide to install lcdproc (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IMON_VFD_and_LCD) but after that the device lirc0 is disappear and now i can't use mi remote control, i use Ubuntu 9.04
[19:09] <mew-chan> anyone here good with OpenOffice (Calc?)
[19:09] <DasEi> abdel:(wrong tarballs)
[19:09] <DasEi> (wrong..
[19:10] <DasEi> abdel: deb down ?
[19:10] <mew-chan> a good geek is so hard to find these days :\
[19:11] <NorwayGeek> mew-chan what do you need help with
[19:11] <Moae> i tried to remove lirc and lcdproc and istall lirc again but nothing, it create the lircd device (it would be a link) but not the lirc0 device, and when i reboot the lircd link disappear too
[19:11] <abdel> DasEi: lest than 1 minute left
[19:11] <rcscomp> grawity: applications will run as their own user.  I am just having some problems with the initial config file getting red by www-data, once the config file gets read, then the apache process switches to use the user that owns that file.  So by setting permissions right, only one file in the whole app should be readable by other applications inside apache.

[19:25] <dbugger> Hello guys! I cant connect to my uni server with ubuntu. Can someone help me?
[19:25] <maxwell> Okay, can anyone tell me how to open a set of DVD files AS A DVD on Media Player?
[19:25] <Stretch__> nvm, but by integrity of the disk you mean when it starts up it has multiply options, i did a test for defects and a memory test
[19:25] <Stretch__> the defects test found 1 error
[19:25] <Stretch__> the memory test was fine
[19:25] <eniac> ou these guys know everything
[19:25] <DasEi> maxwell:users in here, vlc lets you set the display of subtitles in it's menu, if any are delivered with your film
[19:26] <maxwell> These are external, and whilst it loads them, it doesn't display them.
[19:26] <maxwell> DasEi*
[19:26] <dbugger> I try to connect through "Places -> Connecto to a server" but doesnt work :(
[19:26] <MadSeaDog> hi folks... anyway to encrypt a non-boot partition with a password  so it can't be mounted without that password?
[19:26] <tinLoaf> hey guys.. there was a way to tell apt that you have installed some package by hand.. could you give me a hint?
[19:26] <DasEi> Stretch__: so you got a bad cd and got to re-burn (use slow speed or healthier drive)
[19:27] <ZykoticK9> mrbook, so long as USB is enabled for the VM, start the vm (not fullscreen) and right click on the USB icon at the bottom - add a check beside the USB drive you want to mount then it "should" show up in the VM
[19:27] <trijntje> How can I get evolution to keep the emails that are deleted from the mailserver?
[19:27] <NorwayGeek> MadSeaDog: http://www.enterprisenetworkingplanet.com/netsecur/article.php/3683011
[19:27] <arand> tinLoaf: "aptitude unmarkauto ***" I think
[19:28] <maxwell> Grr, it's stupid shit like this that makes me wonder why I don't run Windoze.
; I assume this is before I start Ubuntu
[19:28] <DasEi> maxwell: are, see then you got to bring them in the rigth folder
[19:28] <tinLoaf> ara: no, that was not what i meant
[19:29] <tinLoaf> i meant to tell APT that i have installed something via "make install"
[19:29] <tinLoaf> and that it therefore should not try to install that package as dependency
[19:29] <ZykoticK9> mrbook, enable USB before you start your VM, the USB thing after you start it
[19:29] <MadSeaDog> thanks NorwayGeek  right what i was looking for!
[19:29] <DasEi> abdel : songbird running ?
[19:29] <eniac> you are soo dum
[19:29] <llutz_> !checkinstall | tinLoaf
[19:29] <NorwayGeek> no prob :)
[19:29] <eniac> sssssooooooooooo
[19:30] <eniac> dum
[19:30] <eniac> dum
[19:30] <TheCheeze> can onlyone tell me how to have the pidgin buddy list button in only one taskbar? I had it set on another machine but don't know how
[19:30] <maxwell> DasEi: still not working.
[19:30] <azlon> how do i find out the UUID of sde?
[19:30] <DasEi> :)
[19:30] <tehbaut> anyone tried installing ubuntu from a network?
[19:30] <fosco_> !uuid
[19:30]  * genii sips
[19:30] <NorwayGeek> TheCheeze: It's somewhere in the main preferences
[19:31] <ChrizC> what's the terminal command that allows you to kill a window by clicking on it?
; I am a bit confused... I'll fire up Virtualbox (not in full screen) Right click on the USB icon add check beside USB drive Then start Ubuntu. Correct?
[19:31] <llutz_> ChrizC: xkill
[19:31] <DasEi> maxwell: give me a second, I just had one, I'll look up vlc and tell you, few minutes
[19:31] <ChrizC> ty
[19:31] <ZykoticK9> mrbook, is Ubuntu the VM that you are trying to get USB into?
[19:31] <TheCheeze> NorwayGeek, thank you. will check again
[19:31] <maxwell> DasEi, mmmk, /waits
[19:32] <tinLoaf> ubottu: i'll have a look at that, thanks
[19:32] <azlon> fosco_, when i do blkid it only returns my sda UUID, but i have sda through sdg... i can see them in my /sys/block folder
[19:32] <tinLoaf> llutz_: i'll have a look at that, thanks
; I am running Windows XP Pro - Ubuntu is in the virtualbox.
[19:32] <llutz_> azlon: ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid
[19:32] <ZykoticK9> mrbook, the USB icon at the bottom is ONLY available when the VM is actually running
[19:32] <maxwell> hrm
[19:33] <sunny007> i always get this XLib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display "localhost:10.0". error. What does that mean and how do i fix it?
[19:33] <Ido_> Guys, I have an IRC-related question cause I could barely get into here - what's the command to switch the IRC host (not the channel)?
[19:33] <Ido_> (Chatzilla)
[19:34] <NorwayGeek> you cant switch your userhost, its bound to your ip
[19:34] <void_pointer> IdleOne, a new server? /server <server.name.here>
; ok, i'll take a look again and try your suggestion. What I am not too sure is that you understand I am running XP Pro as my host.
[19:34] <Ido_> Yeah void_pointer that's what I looked for, thanks
[19:35] <TLF> hello, does ubuntu offer a grub manager? If so, where can I access it?
[19:35] <ZykoticK9> mrbook, I understand your host/guest config now
[19:36] <vigo> !Grub
[19:36] <ltgg> anyone have an idea of why often I have no sound with Adobe FlashPlayer 10 in Firefox 3.0.14 in Ubuntu 9.04 ... just seems to fail randomly. OSS sound tests OK ??
; So, as I said I'll bring up Virtualbox look for the USB ico and right click it before starting Ubuntu, right?
[19:37] <HairyDude> does aptitude respect /etc/apt/preferences? specifically with regard to pinning
[19:38] <ZykoticK9> mrbook, NO - boot the VM, then look for the USB icon at the bottom - r. click on it and you should see the USB devices attached to your host - put a check beside the one you want inside the vm
[19:38] <rsouthard>  I have a folder in /webhome/temp/test in need to use .zip utility to compress the contents of ./test as a .zip file. Anyone have any idea how to do this from the command line?
[19:39] <grawity> rsouthard: Try 'zip'
[19:39] <DasEi> maxwell: I found it, what format does your undetitel-file have ? (vlc > video > load untertitles)
[19:39] <ZykoticK9> mrbook, perhaps #vbox would be a better location for this problem (it certainly isn't ubuntu specific at this point)
[19:39] <llutz_> rsouthard: use zip, surprise
[19:39] <maxwell> It's .sub
[19:39] <maxwell> DasEi: It's .sub
[19:40] <rsouthard> i know that. I just dont know the syntax. zip test.zip /path/to/folder/to/bezipped/* ??
[19:40] <madman2> ciao a tutti
[19:40] <madman2> !list
[19:40] <llutz_> rsouthard: use man zip
[19:40] <jrolland> I can't get mpm and texhash to successfully install a .sty package; can someone help?

[19:42] <vigo> NorwayGeek: There are so many, is kinda like what is best, there is now best, there is what works for you and so on...
[19:42] <NorwayGeek> I know my cam is supported and it works i just want a good program that can do it, all i found was XavTV and it sucks
[19:42] <w0ls0n> what desktop does ubuntu use? its not kde but gnome maybe?
[19:42] <vigo> *no
[19:42] <boscop> w0ls0n: yes, gnome
[19:42] <fosco_> w0ls0n, gnome
[19:42] <NorwayGeek> vigo: ok let me rephrase, whats a program that easily lets me capture pictures and video then
[19:43] <NorwayGeek> w0ls0n: Gnome by default
[19:43] <DasEi> maxwell:that should work, unless the file is broken, though in german find a list of supported formats there, sub is included: http://tinyurl.com/ybtn56l
[19:43] <genii> NorwayGeek: I find vlc works pretty good for webcam capture
[19:43] <boscop> I want to set the time that a pidgin notification shows up, proportional to the length of it, and it should show the whole msg, not just terminate with "..."
[19:43] <NorwayGeek> ok thanks :)
[19:43] <maxwell> DasEi, I know the subtitles are good.
[19:43] <maxwell> For some fucked reason they aren't showing.
[19:44] <grawity> Please keep the language family-friendly, thank you.
[19:44] <mgv2> hi all - how can i replace the heberw fonts that shown in menues? maybe i will show you later how i want it to look like
[19:44] <seil> genii what do you mean by webcam capture?
[19:44] <fbianconi1> !info cheese| NorwayGeek
[19:44] <NorwayGeek> O_o
[19:44] <fbianconi1> !info cheese
[19:44] <DasEi> maxwell: try the following : sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras vlc*          , then relaunch and try again
[19:44] <genii> seil: Recording footage or stills
[19:45] <vigo> NorwayGeek: I have seen many speak kindly about VLC, Audacity,Totem and a wm thing,,I use Totem and some KDE applications.

[19:45] <llutz_> boscop: lspci -vv
[19:46] <wongon> when I use aptitude install, it prompts me whether I want to install dependencies.  How do I default the answer to Y so that I don't have to stick around the computer?
[19:46] <dbugger> Can someone please help me connecting to an FTP with Nautilus?
[19:46] <llutz_> wongon: aptitude -y
[19:46] <DasEi> maxwell: try the following : also but the*sub in same folder as the *avi and then launch vlc from comman line to see error-outputs
[19:46] <DasEi> put*
[19:46] <maxwell> It's NOT .avi files.
[19:46] <grawity> dbugger: How are you trying to connect, and what is the exact problem you have?
[19:46] <maxwell> Were it .avi, it would work fine.
[19:46] <fbianconi1> sunny007: use synaptic broken filter to find it and try reinstall
[19:46] <maxwell> These are DVD files.
[19:46] <wongon> thanks llutz_.  Also, is apt-get the same as aptitude?
[19:47] <anselm> boscop: iwconfig lists the driver
[19:47] <void_pointer> !aptitude | wongon
[19:47] <llutz_> wongon: no, different frontends to apt
[19:47] <boscop> anselm, llutz_: thanks
[19:48] <dbugger> grawity,  Im trying to connect throught "Ubuntu Button -> Places -> Connect to Server...", then I input the data, but I get no answer :S
[19:48] <dbugger> Nautilus open but I see nothing. no folder no items no nothing
[19:49] <MadSeaDog> how can i recover the lost and found?
[19:49] <Lademord> Is keyserver.ubuntu.com down? I cannot connect to it!
[19:50] <grawity> Lademord: It is. Use pool.sks-keyservers.net
[19:51] <Lademord> grawity, I just get 'gpg: requesting key 6E80C6B7 from hkp server pool.sks-keyservers.net
[19:51] <Lademord> gpg: key 6E80C6B7: "Launchpad PPA for Banshee Team" not changed

[19:53] <jrolland> Can anyone help with LaTeX?
[19:54] <k7aay> [GNOME, Ubuntu 9.04] Have a laptop with a short, wide screen, so I consolidated the top and bottom panels in Jaunty (Ubuntu 9.04). The result works OK, except the Window List buttons are so narrow I can't see which app is associated with the button. How do I widen the buttons of the Window List? Can send pic if desired.
[19:54] <k7aay> Did check all posts here associated with GNOME's Window List and reviewed the official documentation, as well as asked in community forum. Thank you all kindly.
[19:54] <wongon> when I do: 'sudo cpan ...' is there an option I can enter so I don't have to respond Y to every question?
[19:55] <Pici> jrolland: Help writing documents with LaTeX can be found in #latex, otherwise for install help, ask your real question here and be patient.
[19:55] <llutz_> wongon: try "|yes"
[19:55] <Guest28755> what is the write way to disable 75-persistent-net-generator.rules?
[19:55] <wongon> you mean 'sudo cpan ... | yes'?
[19:56] <llutz_> wongon: yes
[19:56] <seil> Hello.. I'm running ubuntu as guest in virtualbox.. it worked fine for 2 days but now I got this error "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode"
[19:56] <fefi> hi
[19:57] <wongon> I'm getting 'y' going down the screen when I do 'sudo cpan ... | yes'
[19:58] <wongon> is that expected?
[19:58] <llutz_> wongon: not really, was just a guess, sry
[19:58] <grawity> wongon: Yes, because you're putting them in the wrong order.
[19:58] <llutz_> grawity: yes | cpan .. ?
[19:58] <grawity> llutz_: Yep
[19:58] <llutz_> ah, my bad
[19:59] <araizen> hi everyone
[19:59] <araizen> i use kubuntu at home and ubuntu at work
[19:59] <ludo> hello, I just installed my desktop PC and I don't have any sound (Asus M2N-MX SE) does anyone have an idea ?
[20:00] <araizen> does anyone know what the ubuntu equivalent of klipper is?
[20:00] <araizen> or the gnome equivalent, i should say
[20:00] <grawity> araizen: glipper seems to be similar.
[20:00] <llutz> glipper?
[20:01] <RPG_Master> Ubuntu says my hard drive is full even though its not :(
[20:01] <araizen> grawity, how do i install that or enable it, it doesn't seem to be a separate package
[20:01] <xguru> glipper is gtk, so you could use it in any desktop environment
[20:01] <grawity> xguru: The latest versions are deeply integrated with GNOME.
[20:02] <mgv2> why do ive two desktop folders? http://yfrog.com/0717039153p
[20:02] <mgv2> hi all - how can i replace the heberw fonts that shown in menues? maybe i will show you later how i want it to look like
[20:02] <grawity> araizen: The 'glipper' package seems to be in 'multiverse' repository - enable that in Settings -> Administration -> Software Sources.
[20:02] <araizen> oh it is nevermind, it's just not listed in the 'add/remove programs' app thingy
[20:02] <xguru> sorry, i must be a little outdated :)
[20:02] <gb0> hey
[20:02] <dbugger> please, someone help me connect to FTP wth nautilus :(
[20:02] <grawity> errrr. s/multiverse/universe/, dammit :(
[20:02] <araizen> strange that it's not set up by default, something like that is so useful and just puts windows to shame
[20:03] <gb0> i've got a problem with the 'find' command
[20:03] <gb0> it doesn't  work
[20:03] <gb0> i've got ubuntu 8.1
[20:03] <grawity> gb0: What is the exact command you use, and the exact problem you have?
[20:03] <genii> gb0: Make sure you do an updatedb before using find
[20:03] <gb0> example
[20:04] <grawity> genii: No, find doesn't use that. Only 'locate' does.
[20:04] <beam> hello there, i would like to know if theres a channel where i can ask questions about data entry
[20:04] <gb0> find / -iname *.png > here &
[20:04] <fbianconi1> genii: locate is what uses the db
[20:04] <araizen> okay now that it's installed, where is it?
[20:04] <genii> Ah, apologies
[20:04] <gb0> that command uses to work, but now it doesn't
[20:04] <grawity> gb0: You need to put the name in single quotes. Like this: find / -iname '*.png' > here &
[20:04]  * genii scrapes stuff out of his eyes and heads for the coffeepot
[20:04]  * gb0 apologizes for his bad use of English
[20:04] <DasEi> maxwell: one last thought , does the *sub have the same name as the dvd-file ?
[20:04] <joeb3_> gb0, find / -name "*.png" > here
[20:05] <gb0> ok thanks!
[20:05] <gb0> but, why before it works?
[20:05] <grawity> gb0: When your shell encounters an unquoted *.png, it tries to expand it.
[20:05] <DasEi> gb0: locate ? use sudo updatedb if new files added
[20:05] <grawity> gb0: If there are no matching files in current directory, it leaves *.png as it was.
[20:06] <araizen> anyone know how to run glipper?
[20:06] <gb0> thanks grawity
[20:06] <grawity> gb0: But if there _are_ matching files, it replaces *.png with their names - and that's what breaks 'find'
[20:06] <devZero> hey, I just install ubuntu-xen-server on Jaunty, and it didn't appear to install a xen kernel. Anyone know what the package name is for the xen dom0 kernel?
[20:06] <grawity> gb0: For example, compare these: echo *.png; echo "*.png"
[20:06] <gb0> ok
[20:06] <joeb3_> gb0, did you use quotes before?
[20:07] <gb0> let's see..
[20:07] <anselm> araizen: right click on the panel and say add and then search for glipper
[20:07] <dbugger> Please some ideas to connect to a server with ubuntu :S
[20:07] <gb0> echo *.png
[20:07] <gb0> *.png
[20:07] <gb0> root@slax:~# echo ¨*.png¨
[20:07] <gb0> ¨*.png¨
[20:07] <Mikey^> dbugger: you want to connect to a ubuntu server machine ?

[20:08] <dbugger> i want to connect to a ftp Mikey^

[20:17] <SpacePigeon> dbugger, oh i see...
[20:17] <ikanobori> Hey lads, I'm having some sound issues. I hear it, but it plays in slowmotion and with echoes.
[20:17] <SpacePigeon> dbugger, i would restart nautilus
[20:17] <arand> beam: are you using your ubuntu partition for storing data (in home folder/otherwise?)
[20:17] <dbugger> SpacePigeon, how do I do that?
[20:17] <ikanobori> The sound card currently in this pc has run with ubuntu fine in pre 9.04 versions.
[20:18] <zopiac> How can I get Rhythmbox to show in the window list? It is only showing in the notification area, and is really annoying me >:(
[20:18] <mrvirus> How do i modify the kernel configuration
[20:18] <lovetruth> hey :)
[20:19] <lovetruth> is it safe to switch to karmic yet?... what do you say?... or, when it would be safe to do it?...
[20:19] <shaun> use VLC
[20:19] <arand> beam: Try running the disk usage analyzer (applications>accessories) to spot which folders might contain huge stuff.
[20:19] <dbugger> SpacePigeon, ?
[20:19] <mgv2> can anyone help me with the changing fonts quesstion?

[20:20] <rrva> lucile: le salon oficiel francophone: #ubuntu-fr
[20:21] <AkA23> i need a hdd test utility that can export reports.
[20:21] <arand> beam: normal usage for just applications in ubuntu rarely exceeds ~4-8GB
[20:21] <lucile> ho pardon
[20:21] <SpacePigeon> dbugger, i just use windows for games.. if it was for working i would use ubuntu all the time
[20:21] <lucile> merci :)
[20:21] <lovetruth> hm, i also love my ubuntu, but i have sometimes to switch to windows because my printer (canon ip4600) doesn't print well (high quality) under ubuntu...
[20:21] <dbugger> SpacePigeon, I would too... if could do stuff like connecting to a FTP :P
[20:21] <SpacePigeon> lucile, non probleme
[20:21] <dbugger> SpacePigeon, that command doesnt work
[20:21] <SpacePigeon> dbugger, haha, well you can also use firefox
[20:21] <mrvirus> SpacePigeon.. Do you know how to change the kernel configuration?
[20:21] <shaun> i cant get mine to print to my windows server... :(
[20:21] <SpacePigeon> dbugger, tell me the ftp address, ill check it
[20:21] <dbugger> disco.uv.es
[20:22] <AkA23> so you dont know any good hdd test utilities?
[20:22] <RPG_Master> Ubuntu says my hard drive is full even though its not :(
[20:22] <SpacePigeon> dbugger, $ kill nautilus && nautilus
[20:22] <RPG_Master> help?
[20:22] <SpacePigeon> didn't work?
[20:22] <yoritomo> hello does anyone know how to use RevEng
[20:22] <SpacePigeon> mrvirus, no
[20:22] <SpacePigeon> mrvirus, sorry
[20:22] <mrvirus> np
[20:22] <rrva> mountall hangs for me since upgrading to upstart from sysvinit. I have cryptdisks, swap never gets activated and fs are read-only. What could be the problem?
[20:22] <mgv2> why do ive two desktop folders? http://yfrog.com/0717039153p
[20:22] <e-DIO-t> yo
[20:22] <grawity> SpacePigeon: kill takes a pid; you need pkill (or killall) for a process name.
[20:22] <RPG_Master> I'v had it do this before, but last time it did this I just reinstalled
[20:22] <MrHellmund> I am SpacePiegon
[20:22] <grawity> mrvirus: pkill -9 nautilus; ( nautilus & )
[20:23] <zopiac> How can I get Rhythmbox to show in the window list? It is only showing in the notification area!
[20:23] <RPG_Master> no help for me?
[20:23] <daveycakes> anyone?
[20:23] <dbugger> nothing, cant kill it..
[20:23] <yoritomo> RevEng is a utility to reverse eginering a win driver intended to be recompiled under linux or other plateforms
[20:23] <lovetruth> anyone know any messenger (IM) client that supports yahoo call (voice) pc2pc ?...
[20:23] <dbugger> anyway, i've already restarted before ubuntu and same problem persisted
[20:24] <arand> beam:  when using the disk usage analyzer it's often convenient (speeds up scan) to deselect other storage devices in preferences (for example the data partition you have)
[20:24] <RPG_Master> :(
[20:25] <rrva> how do I downgrade from upstart to sysvinit?
[20:25] <beam> arand: disk usage analyzer shows me the total filesystem capacity only
[20:25] <antisocial_boris> I am sorting out a system to backup my laptop.
[20:26] <antisocial_boris> I'm going to have regular small backups and less regular total backups.
[20:26] <dbugger> well
[20:26] <antisocial_boris> Which directories do I want to exclude?
[20:26] <dbugger> thanks for the help
[20:26] <dbugger> guess it's back to Billy's OS :P
[20:26] <darkham> i installed ubuntu in a system with raid 0, at reboot i've grub error 21
[20:26] <dbugger> I hope i still remmeber how to use it
[20:26] <arand> beam: press scan filesystem, and wait a while.
[20:26] <darkham> please help me
[20:26] <zopiac> agh this is retarded
[20:26] <beam> arand:ok
[20:27] <lolufail> hi
[20:27] <lolufail> what do I do when I get:   /usr/src/linux-2.6.28 is not clean, please run 'make mrproper'
[20:27] <lolufail> while trying http://blog.avirtualhome.com/2009/09/08/how-to-compile-a-kernel-for-ubuntu-jaunty-revised/
[20:27] <llutz> lolufail: run 'make mrproper'
[20:27] <lolufail> running mrproper also deletes the debian directory, which brakes the rest
[20:27] <e-DIO-t> lolufail: run 'make mrproper' ^_^
[20:27] <Keiffer> so, now, when i try to connect by ssh on myself, it asks for rsa private key passphrase. and again. and again. and then Permission denied (publickey)
[20:27] <lovetruth> no one knows an IM client that can do yahoo pc2pc calls (voice) ?...
[20:27] <rabit_> hey does any one have experience with debian on asus laptops
[20:28] <lovetruth> under Ubuntu, sure?...
[20:28] <connor> Hey guys my wine has gone corrupt, the .wine folder is missing from ~ any idea how i can get it back?
[20:28] <lovetruth> reinstall wine, connor  ? :)
[20:28] <odla> anyone know of a pdf viewer for gnome (e.g. gtk/gtk2) that can highlight text in a pdf?
[20:28] <lovetruth> with apt-get? :)
[20:28] <rabit_> evince
[20:29] <connor> lovetruth: i know i know but i tried that before and it didn't seem to work
[20:29] <odla> rabit_: i don't think evince can
[20:29] <connor> lovetruth: none the less i shall try again
[20:29] <lstarnes> connor: try winecfg
[20:29] <odla> rabit_: it never has before
[20:29] <lovetruth> odla,  - adobe pdf doesn't do it ? :)
[20:29] <e-DIO-t> connor -> try to purge it!
[20:29] <lovetruth> that's it... i guess... :)
[20:29] <lovetruth> gyachi does offer webcam
[20:29] <tehbaut> how do you activate/use the gnome zoom utility?
[20:29] <rabit_> odla: what type of highlighting do you want
[20:29] <lovetruth> i heard kopete offers call...
[20:29] <lovetruth> but dunno...
[20:29] <tehbaut> keyboard shortcut?
[20:29] <e-DIO-t> mmh something+r
[20:29] <lovetruth> i`m thinking to implement something like that ( found some sources about yahoo protocol over the internet somewhere :) )
[20:30] <e-DIO-t> ups: ctrl+r goes close-connection :P
[20:30] <odla> one that can highlight text in a pdf
[20:30] <lolufail> so this chat is for gui questions, but none has ever compiled a kernel yet?
[20:30] <lolufail> wow I miss  gentoo
[20:30] <younder> I have a problem. Thrugh a installation of GTK 2.4 it broke the current GTK 2.2 interface. Hence I can't get the login.
[20:30] <connor> damn i apt-get removed and then installed wine again but the .wine folder still isn't there
[20:30] <rabit_> odla: i understand but for like temp usage ie highlight all in a find or highlight and save highlighted
[20:31] <younder> Now I can't log  in with text as it requires the root password which I don't have.
[20:31] <odla> highlight and save
[20:31] <shai> Anyone know how I can get SSH X11 Forwarding fonts of applications bigger? The menu fonts and text is so small.... When I changed the DPI or font sizes in xfce4-settings-manager it changed, but on the local display of the server, not over SSH
[20:31] <rabit_> ahh hmm lemme check somethign
[20:31] <Keiffer> so, now, when i try to connect by ssh on myself, it asks for rsa private key passphrase. and again. and again. and then Permission denied (publickey). why?
[20:31] <lovetruth> younder,  - but what permissions you have?...
[20:31] <younder> Nor can i do it from the CD copy as it sais the setuid is wrong
[20:32] <younder> lovetruth: I have administrative priveleges.
[20:32] <yoritomo> http://dslab.epfl.ch/pubs/reveng/
[20:32] <darkham> plese help me, i installed jaunty on a system with raid , and at startup i've grub error 21
[20:32] <darkham> 320 gb raid
[20:32] <Leissi> why hello there. I installed ubuntu after installing windows 7, and ended up with 'boot device inaccessible' when trying to boot to windows from GRUB bootloader. I ended up reinstalling windows 7, and I  still want ubuntu to be dualbootable. I did some scouring on the internet and saw https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot . After readin I realized I did exactly like that and ended up with the error. Could anyone help me insta
[20:32] <Leissi> ll ubuntu "properly" for dual boot purposes?
[20:32] <Leissi> oh snap that was a long line
[20:32] <darkham> 150 gb windows xp
[20:33] <e-DIO-t> Leissi: guess it's a win7 problem! It causes faults even trying to go back to xp
[20:33] <darkham> 40gb ubuntu /dev/sdb2
[20:33] <Leissi> e-DIO-t, you think? :C
[20:33] <darkham> /dev/sdb5 swap
[20:33] <rabit_> odla: by the nature of pdfs i think your gonna be hard pressed to find it
[20:33] <darkham> and unallocated
[20:33] <e-DIO-t> i fear :P
[20:33] <Leissi> so I can't install ubuntu alongside win7?
[20:34] <DasEi> Leissi: ubuntu dual ( or even multiple) boots fine
[20:34] <darkham> please i'm desperate, i cant load windows xp no more...
[20:34] <e-DIO-t> perhaps a "dirt" workaround could be wubi
[20:34] <rabit_> maby something that can pull the image of pdf into another editeable format
[20:34] <mgv2> so much nicer http://yfrog.com/0322363590p
[20:34] <lolufail> Leissi: oh dear god of course you can
[20:34] <MacGyverNL> Leissi: As far as I can tell, you can.
[20:34] <Leissi> DasEi, then what happened, all I got was device inaccessible error when booting
[20:34] <younder> lovetruth: normally you could sudo passwd root. but without beig able to log in in the first place that is impossible
[20:34] <Leissi> ubuntu installation worked fine though
[20:34] <beam> arand: im done
[20:34] <Leissi> on the same disk
[20:34] <tehbaut> anyone know how to use the zoom tool? a shortcut?
[20:34] <lolufail> read the grub manual
[20:35] <DasEi> Leissi: I just came back in, brief description of your situation ?
[20:35] <tehbaut> trying to make ubuntu usable on a TV
[20:35] <MacGyverNL> Leissi: I haven't done it myself, but I only have to google "ubuntu windows 7 dual boot" and come across several success stories.
[20:35] <Leissi> hurr durr
[20:35] <Leissi> I did that too
[20:35] <Leissi> I have no idea what happened and why
[20:35] <younder> Is there a way to make GRUB skip the U?
[20:35] <younder> UI
[20:35] <lolufail> Leissi: try chainloading windows
[20:35] <e-DIO-t> leissi -> http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-grub/2003-02/msg00082.html ?
[20:35] <MacGyverNL> Leissi: Just saying taht e-DIO-t is not making sense. What was your grub line for Win7 loading?
[20:35] <DasEi> younder: sure, /boot/grub/menu.lst
[20:36] <antony> voice recognitive interactive interface design
[20:36] <arand> beam: Now browse away in it, do you find any particulary huge sections?
[20:36] <e-DIO-t> Mac: it's just based on a "user of mine" problem :P I've got win7 only only on vbox!
[20:37] <Leissi> MacGyverNL, hell if I remember anymore
[20:37] <beam> arand: yes
[20:37] <MacGyverNL> Leissi: That's very important.
[20:37] <qwert123> when i come to http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download i can just select a download location and then begin downloading the ubuntu image, however if i browse a little down, i see that i can choose between 32bit and 64bit version of ubuntu. it says 32 bit works for most computers and 64bit may provide additional capabilities to computers that are able to use 64bit software. on my laptop there is a sticker "AMD Turion 64x2 Mobile Technolog
[20:37] <Leissi> I didn't alter it after installing ubuntu though
[20:37] <lassegul> hi guys. ubiquity seems to crash at about 95%, about the time i install grub. this is what syslog says, logfile a bit long, but its at the end: http://pastebin.com/me28e3db
[20:37] <DasEi> Leissi: you installed ubuntu (?) after having win 7 (?) and now when you boot you get .. ?
[20:37] <lassegul> traceback starts at line 4890
[20:38] <lassegul> what can i do to troubleshoot this?
[20:38] <tavelram> Id like a standalone temporary ftp-server that is NOT integrated into the whole system, any suggestions? Id like to do something like this: "ftpd /home/someuser/tmpftp/ --user pub --pwd god"...
[20:38] <HairyDude> apt question: suppose I'm running jaunty, and I set a pin on jaunty with priority 700 and karmic 600. what's supposed to happen when you do apt-get upgrade? does it pull in changes from karmic?
[20:38] <e-DIO-t> [and now he gets grub error 21]
[20:38] <Leissi> DasEi, after booting I got the grub loader, choosing windows 7 gave me "boot device inaccessible" error while ubuntu installation worked fine
[20:38] <Leissi> I reinstalled win7 already
[20:39] <artur__> hello
[20:39] <DasEi> Leissi: so there was a wrong path given then, that would have been easy to repair
[20:39] <lolufail> I dont get it, the Makefile checks for the config directory and prints the make mrproper message
[20:39] <lolufail> yet, according to the tutorial, you need that directory
[20:39] <trinium> Leissi, i am install win7, and grub configure tipe win vixta
[20:39] <Leissi> trinium, yes
[20:40] <DasEi> Leissi: if you run in trouble with grub1 , supergrubdisk is always a good call (google it)
[20:40] <Salvad1> Hello.
[20:40] <Salvad1> Does anyone know how to do a back of the system partition?
[20:40] <Salvad1> *Backup.
[20:40] <trinium> Leissi,  not understand win7, emulated programs win xp :S
[20:41] <Leissi> wat
[20:41] <arand> Salvad1: use partimage, dd, or fsarchiver.
[20:41] <DasEi> lolufail: sounds like additional ressources are needed for that; I assume build-essential is there and you took the whole soft in one from your d/l source ?
[20:41] <trinium> Leissi, in ubuntu too emulate programs by win xp, virtualbox, iquals
[20:42] <e-DIO-t> Btw: does anyone know how to get <`> character on it keymap?
[20:42] <Leissi> I'm not trying to emulate anything inside ubuntu
[20:42] <Forza4Life> what is a good desktop wallpaper/background switcher....ive tried drapes and it doesnt seem to be doing the job, i run dual monitors
[20:42] <Leissi> manual change
[20:42] <Leissi> scratch that, I don't actually know
[20:43] <Leissi> but why would you want to actively change backgrounds anyway
[20:43] <DasEi> lolufail : link of your project again ?
[20:43] <younder> Leissi: right click the background
[20:43] <Forza4Life> i like having different backgrounds every 15 minutes or so
[20:43] <Forza4Life> hell even win 7 has this feature   i dont know why ubuntu doesnt
[20:43] <Leissi> oh ok
[20:44] <darkham> please i must recover my pc after a failed ubuntu installation...
[20:44] <darkham> please help me
[20:44] <Leissi> I guess that's a reason
[20:44] <DasEi> Forza4Life: write a script ;-)
[20:44] <ububuff> I have a small ubuntu question
[20:44] <Forza4Life> im clueless about scripts
[20:44] <darkham> pc with raid 0 , 2 partition before installation
[20:44] <ububuff> I have two laptops running ubuntu, one with Hardy 8.04 and one with Karmic alpha 6
[20:44] <Nattgew> anybody know about an online irc client? it's blocked for me when I connect at school...
[20:44] <ububuff> The one with Karmic offers me an Israeli download server
[20:44] <Leissi> Nattgew, mibbit.com
[20:44] <ububuff> while the Hardy one doesn't
[20:45] <darkham> after installasion of ubuntu : sda1 ntfs sda2 ext4 sda5 swap, and unallocated
[20:45] <ububuff> how do I fix that/
[20:45] <arand> e-DIO-t: key in left lower corner, shift for >
[20:45] <Leissi> that's pretty much your best shot
[20:45] <younder> darkham: well raid 0 is a serious problem
[20:45] <darkham> at reboot "grub error 21"
[20:45] <e-DIO-t> arand: : i need ` nor < > ;)
[20:45] <DasEi> Forza4Life: you'll need a counting for-loop incremting to the sum of your d-backgrounds starting again at one when done, not too hard, #bash could help you
[20:45] <Nattgew> Leissi, I tried that, but freenode refused the connection
[20:45] <lovetruth> also
[20:46] <lovetruth> java doesn't work...
[20:46] <lovetruth> in my ubuntu...
[20:46] <bartmon> hey guys! I'm having problems with hibernate in jaunty. Does the kernel need some argument to check for a hibernate resume image?
[20:46] <lovetruth> neither so yahoo games, etc
[20:46] <lovetruth> ...
[20:46] <e-DIO-t> the one who's on the down-right corner on us keyb!
[20:46] <FloodBot3> lovetruth: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:46] <lovetruth> flash does work
[20:46] <Leissi> lovetruth, http://webchat.freenode.net/
[20:46] <lovetruth> just java doesn't...
[20:46] <DasEi> ububuff: synaptic
[20:46] <e-DIO-t> [the one to pass "bash" to variables]
[20:46] <tavelram> suggestions on ad-hoc ftpservers?
[20:46] <darkham> younder: from live, fdisk -l , give me sda1  but ntfs-3g not mounted because i've a message about the intallation of some raid tool...
[20:47] <Leissi_> lovetruth: works fine
[20:47] <lolufail> DasEi: I followed the tutorial, the sources are from the official -server kernel
[20:47] <trippss> hello. locking down my laptop for hotspot use. will anything break if I disable avahi or portmap?
[20:47] <lolufail> DasEi: commenting out that check solved my problem
[20:47] <darkham> younder : thinking about a minimal support, optimizable later the installation
[20:47] <darkham> but at reboot
[20:47] <darkham> i've the error
[20:48] <DasEi> lolufail : fine then, just remebered you posted a link earlier;; kernelcheck is also a handy tool if you're not the perfect geek (google it)
[20:48] <RPG_Master> Ubuntu says my hard drive is full even though its not :(
[20:48] <qwert123> when i come to http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download i can just select a download location and then begin downloading the ubuntu image, however if i browse a little down, i see that i can choose between 32bit and 64bit version of ubuntu. it says 32 bit works for most computers and 64bit may provide additional capabilities to computers that are able to use 64bit software. on my laptop there is a sticker "AMD Turion 64x2 Mobile Technolog
[20:48] <RPG_Master> I'v had it do this before, but last time it did this I just reinstalled
[20:48] <RPG_Master> help :(
[20:48] <ububuff> DasEi: Thanks for the quick answer, but I don't really follow how synaptic will help? Is there a package to add for the Israeli server?
[20:48] <younder> darkham: yes raid 0 gives you a problem. You should disable it in BIOS.
[20:49] <DasEi> ububuff: nope, but you can choose which server to use or use find fastest mirror plugin
[20:49] <arand> e-DIO-t: oh, excuses, I'm basically just checking here: http://imagebin.org/65812 there seems to be a few combos...
[20:49] <adrian__> I installed 9.04 dual boot with XP, using the repartitioner on the ubuntu live CD, and the ubuntu partition appears to have a copy of all my files from the XP partition.  Is this normal?
[20:50] <younder> darkham: before you install
[20:50] <connor> Ahh when i install wine on ubuntu 9.04 it doesn't produce a .wine folder in ~ it is really annoying me
[20:50] <e-DIO-t> arand: thanks arand -> going to check. End of Line;)
[20:50] <ububuff> DasEi: That's exactly the problem. On my Hardy machine, there is no Israeli server to choose from (either by manually choosing or asking to choose the best download server)
[20:50] <DasEi> RPG_Master: sudo fdisk -l  , df -h   , do the infos match ?  also check :
[20:50] <DasEi> !trash
[20:50] <younder> darkham: Of cource that would rauin any windows version of the software you have
[20:50] <talntid> adrian__: ubuntu can access the files on your xp partition. maybe you're confusing it?
[20:51] <RPG_Master> DasEi: I'll check
[20:51] <DasEi> ububuff: maybe there is no in israel then, I'll start a vm to see myself , second
[20:51] <adrian__> talntid: I erased one file on the ubuntu partition, and it is still there on the XP partition, so it looks like they are copies
[20:51] <ububuff> DasEi: I wouldn't even mind editing a sources file, but I couldn't find which file to edit. Thanks for checking this for me! :-)
[20:51] <talntid> hmm, odd
[20:52] <DasEi> ububuff: second, weak hardware here
[20:52] <adrian__> these files have filled up 100GB of my ubuntu partition
[20:53] <RPG_Master> DasEi: I found a bunch of stuff in root/.local/share/trash but when I delete them as root they just pop back up there :O
[20:53] <e-DIO-t> arand:  tnx -> It's upward [alt-gr] the ù...neither on the keyb :)

[20:54] <bobfox> long time ago ................... in the windoze world we easily assessed the quality of an OS by seeing if it could run applications. is there anywhere in UBUNTU that we can ask/suggest/request how to run different applications in the exciting world of UBUNTU ???? what I need is skype, ms fsx, and a few more
[20:54] <LLStarks> hi. is the ubuntu keyserver down?
[20:54] <connor> winecfg says wine: chdir to /home/~/.wine" that can't be right can it?!
[20:54] <LLStarks> hi. is the ubuntu keyserver down?
[20:54] <DasEi> ububuff: put that url in a browser (ftp..) and cycle through it to see if hardy is there
[20:55] <e-DIO-t> now -> is there anyone who knows anything about a segfault logging through pidgin 2.5.5 [ubuntu 2.6.28] to msn network? :)
[20:55] <RPG_Master> WOOT!!!!!!
[20:56] <arand> e-DIO-t: You can configure the 3:rd level chooser in the advanced layout settings for keyboard, afaik it the same as altGr
[20:56] <RPG_Master> THAT FIXED IT!!! :D
[20:56] <ububuff> DasEi: It's an http server, yes and hardy (as well as hardy-backports, hardy-updates, hardy-secuity etc) appears
[20:56] <monokrome> Why doesn't Ubuntu's networking work in Openbox?? :(
[20:57] <arand> e-DIO-t: and there seems to be at least two other ways to get the ' (question mark beside bckspc and comma key...)
[20:57] <Guest77038> I am trying to install the linux-headers package but i keep getting that there is noversion for my kernal.  Any thoughts?
[20:57] <e-DIO-t> arand:  catch it :9 thanks! Now i can no-more-switch to blind us-keymap :)
[20:57] <cybersss> hello
[20:58] <bobfox> skype won't load for my i7 64bit laptop? any suggestions?
[20:58] <ReX0r> After some recent updates, my amarok didn't start anymore. Exaile (an alternative music player) kept 'stopping', I had to press play. I was told pulseaudio was crashing and restarting in the background. I didn't fix this problem (or even TRY to) and even more recently (a day or 2) my sound is completely gone (even vlc and EVERYTHING stopped working)
[20:58] <ReX0r> ALSA, OSS, none of it works if I try to change it through system-preferences-sound
[20:58] <e-DIO-t> now -> is there anyone who knows anything about a segfault logging through pidgin 2.5.5 [ubuntu 2.6.28] to msn network? :) => Improve -> it always goes segfault (21:56:02) msn: FQY response says<EMAIL_ADDRESS>is from network 1
[20:58] <talntid> ReX0r: read /var/log/daemon.log
[20:58] <harisund> Does anyone what the scripts that GDM runs are? I don't want a login manager, but if I start from the terminal using startx a lot of things seem different
[20:59] <deviskec> hey guys which app can burn dual layer dvd so i can set the layer break, brasero doesnt seem to have this option.
[20:59] <rysiek|pl> yello
[20:59] <deviskec> ?
[20:59] <daveycakes> deviskec: imgburn
[20:59] <deviskec> on ubuntu ?
[20:59] <daveycakes> wine emulation environment
[20:59] <monokrome> I have a WiFi connection that I use in Gnome, but I just installed this system and hate gnome... I want to use Openbox standalone. Is this not something that Ubuntu will do?
[20:59] <shai> Any way of saying Gnome-terminal sessions? So that I can call upon them when I want it to open as many tabs and their names as I had before (this is done easily with Konsole)
[20:59] <e-DIO-t> [mmh perhaps i should bring this to pidgin bugtrack :P nor to ubuntu]
[20:59] <panfist_> how can i ask aptitude where it put all the files in a package
[20:59] <MTec007> where can i view logs from boot? i thought that they were in /var/log/boot but its empty
[20:59] <ReX0r> it doesn't state an error, there's just no sound (just rebooted from windows vista, everything still working there)
[21:00] <MTec007> there is something on the boot screen that failed, something about firefox-3.5
[21:00] <coxi> where can i ask more questions?
[21:00] <coxi> ...
[21:00] <Guest77038> how do i upgrade my kernal?
[21:00] <DasEi> ububuff: so you got your solution, take the one from karmic , append it to the hardy one and then change, you're right, apt misses it it you could file a bug
[21:00] <harisund> Does anyone here not using GDM and instead starts a GUI session using startx?
[21:00] <DasEi> !kernel | Guest770
[21:01] <shai> Anyone know this? Any way of saying Gnome-terminal sessions? So that I can call upon them when I want it to open as many tabs and their names as I had before (this is done easily with Konsole)
[21:01] <guntbert> LLStarks: it seems it is down, try pool.sks-keyservers.net
[21:01] <e-DIO-t> harisund: i had, but only with arclinux some time ago, sorry.
[21:01] <harisund> e-DIO-t: that was what I was afraid of. It appears Ubuntu makes itself very terminal-unfriendly :(
[21:02] <e-DIO-t> harisund: it's the cost of powerful guis, i think :)
[21:02] <davyde> #ubuntu-it
[21:02] <ReX0r> should I reinstall xine? That should only relate to applications, not my entire sound system, right?
[21:02] <guntbert> panfist_: I use apt-file for this (and the reverse)
[21:03] <harisund> "powerful gui" is an oxymoron imo, but YMMV .. the point being I guess once you learn beyond the GUI Ubuntu is not for you anymore ( e-DIO-t )
[21:03] <gumpish> Is there a way to suspend a job other than ctrl-Z? (Such as from a different tty)
[21:03] <ububuff> DasEi: I apologize, but I don't quite follow. I already tried editing my sources.list file on my Hardy machine with the israeli mirror, but it doesn't help... When I call update-manager it still calls archive.ubuntu.com
[21:03] <e-DIO-t> harisund: i'm a cli addicted :P Btw now gui's are the most "commercial attack" tool :)
[21:03] <Blehk> I've got a question about $PATH variables. If I have two sources say, /bin and /usr/bin, and they have the different files with the same name. What's the order that is would be searched? For instance, if the path is /bin:/usr/bin would /bin/myscript be called first?
[21:04] <harisund> Blehk: Yes it goes in the order of what the directories in th epath are
[21:04] <Blehk> harisund: perfect, thanks a bunch
[21:04] <harisund> Blehk: if you want to know which one would be called try using the "which" command
[21:04] <gumpish> Blehk: a handy command is "which myscript"
[21:04] <DasEi> ububuff: on both machines : sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[21:04] <Blehk> harisund, gumpish : I'll definitely use that in the future. Thanks!
[21:05] <DasEi> ububuff: on both machines : pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list  , give both urls here
[21:05] <DasEi> e-DIO-t: I feel the same, once in, cli is so much faster, too
[21:06] <ReX0r> should I turn of multiverse to get my sound back and try to update again?
[21:06] <guntbert> harisund: what are your issues with startx?
[21:06] <ububuff> DasEi: Thanks for the help, but unfortunately at home I work with my Karmic machine and the Hardy machine is at my mom's house so I can't do that right now...I will try again another time. Sorry for taking up your time then
[21:06] <e-DIO-t> DasEi: but in cli you have to know what to do :P and win users don't like this ;)
[21:07] <seil> Hello, I had 1200x600 resolution in ubuntu but now it went back to 800x511 how can I fix it?
[21:07] <diazamet> How can I automatically run a script after NetworkManager has setup a connection (after coming out of suspend for example)?
[21:07] <davyde> do you know if there is a url to add in Listen to have some radio or i have to add one by one?
[21:07] <ReX0r> talntid: What do I do after reading /var/log/daemon.log ?

[21:10] <diazamet> How can I automatically run a script after NetworkManager has setup a connection (after coming out of suspend for example)?
[21:10] <tehbaut> I cannot get ubuntu to recognize my windows network, but it can get the interne no problem

[21:13] <ltcabral> how do i open a swf from terminal? i have adobe flash player installed...
[21:14] <tehbaut> how do I get root again? thought it was sudo -i
[21:15] <lstarnes> tehbaut: that is correct
[21:15] <talntid> ltcabral: flashplayer-nonfree <filename> ?
[21:15] <joeb3_> tehbaut, sudo su -
[21:16] <tehbaut> hmm, maybe I could see it if I knew the kbd shortcut for zoom ;)
[21:17] <ltcabral> talntid: is flashplayer-nonfree some generic name or what :P
[21:17] <Leissi> hmm
[21:18] <Leissi> I'll come ask questions again once I get my ass into ubuntu
[21:18] <tehbaut> is there a command that lets me gain access to a network machine from cli?
[21:18] <talntid> flash and swf-player are standalone flash players
[21:18] <tehbaut> e.g. //COMPUTERNAME/path/to/public/files
[21:19] <tehbaut> or via IP even
[21:19] <Bookman> how do I permanently turn off join/part/nick messages?
[21:19] <arand> ltcabral: just totem (or vlc) filename.swf  and you need the right plugins installed.
[21:19] <joeb3_> Bookman, set irc_conf_mode 1
[21:20] <ltcabral> arand: well my vlc is not playing it... what plugin do i need?
[21:21] <Bookman> joeb3_: Not sure how to use that information.
[21:22] <VCoolio> Bookman: if you use pidgin chech the plugins, there is one that filters them
[21:22] <KnifeySpooney> I have this annoying error, I installed a custom kernel a while back which I don't use anymore. I uninstalled it by following instructions on this page: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/debian-redhat-linux-delete-kernel-command/
[21:23] <KnifeySpooney> But when I run 'sudo update-initramfs -k all -u', it tries to update the custom kernel still and returns 'Cannot find /lib/modules/<IP_ADDRESS>-custom'
[21:23] <seth> I am having an odd issue with Ubuntu J's desktop environment.  Ever since two days ago, all open windows have no bar (the one that you can normally click or double click to move or maximize/minimize) above the menubar. I cannot think of anything that I could have done to have caused this. Does anyone have any experience with this issue or know how it can be resolved
[21:23] <Wooley> I attempted to accesss my server this morning and couldnt so eventually i restarted. once it restarted i got dropped into busy box and it says "target filesystem does not have /sbin/init" after searching through several forums i tried booting to a live cd tried to mount it. and got the error: unable to seek on /dev/sda
[21:23] <KnifeySpooney> Wooley: try going to the terminal and typing 'metacity --replace'
[21:23] <Wooley> sorry i ran fdisk -l and got that error
[21:24] <Wooley> k
[21:24] <Bookman> VCoolio: That seems to have worked, thanks.
[21:24] <KnifeySpooney> woops wrong person
[21:24] <Wooley> lol
[21:24] <KnifeySpooney> Lol sorry
[21:24] <KnifeySpooney> seth: try going to the terminal and typing 'metacity --replace'
[21:24] <Wooley> im also running raid 0
[21:25] <arand> ltcabral: vlc shouldn't need any plugins I don't think, for totem you'll probably need the ubuntu-restricted-extras package (specifically gstreamer I assume)... But then again, if vlc won't play it, it might be just the file is faulty...
[21:25] <seth> That worked.  Thank you kindly.  What caused this issue?
[21:25] <ltcabral> arand: well it opens in firefox -.-a
[21:25] <Wooley> anyone know of a way to get recover my data?
[21:25] <VCoolio> seth: wait till you logout and back in. If the window decoration is still there, then the problem is solved
[21:26] <Aurus> Does 9.04 update to Firefox 3.5?  I know it shipped with 3.x.
[21:26] <KnifeySpooney> seth: I'm not sure, but that usually happens whenever you end the window decorator such as 'gtk-window-decorator' or 'metacity' or 'emerald'
[21:26] <guntbert> ff3.5 | Aurus
[21:26] <Aurus> guntbert: Okay, so updates pick up 3.5?  Thanks!
[21:26] <VCoolio> Aurus: not automatically, but you can install it alongside 3.*
[21:27] <zidan> wats up
[21:27] <guntbert> Aurus: sorry, there was once a factoid - no you can install ff3.5 aside ff3.0
[21:27] <Aurus> VCoolio: Ah, via PKG I assume?
[21:27] <VCoolio> Aurus: yep, just sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5
[21:27] <Aurus> k.  9.10 (?) I presume would ship 3.5
[21:28] <VCoolio> Aurus: I guess so, yes
[21:28] <Aurus> Reasonable.  thanks!
[21:28] <KnifeySpooney> It should

[21:33] <daveycakes> how do i do that?
[21:33] <Toxic-Walz> daveycakes: as it say in the installer
[21:33] <daveycakes> the grubloader took over
[21:33] <alexis_> lolz
[21:34] <Toxic-Walz> daveycakes: well did u scrap the windows partition?
[21:34] <daveycakes> nope
[21:34] <daveycakes> one other question, my netbook i just ordered, comes with ubuntu 8.04, should i upgrade it straight away?
[21:34] <Toxic-Walz> Toxic-Walz: you have the choice to install them side by side
[21:35] <arand> daveycakes: grub is normally able to chainload the windows bootloader.
[21:35] <hanshenrik> when you just do apt-get install apache2, where is the folder u put the index.html?
[21:35] <panfist_> hi, i'm trying to learn from "practical web 2.0 applications with php." the first example is a simple web-app using the zend framework. i'm getting an error on the command "require_once(Zend/Loader.php) failed to open stream, no such file or directory." i have the line php_value include_path .:/usr/share/php/libzend-framework-php in my apache virtualhost, which is where Zend/Loader.php is, and it still doesn't work
[21:35] <daveycakes> thank you

[21:36] <lovetruth> i've just fixed my firefox/Chromium "java not working" thingie :)

[21:39] <xiong> Is this a 'duh' moment? I started a backup with Simple Backup Config and it told me a background process was started. How can I tell when it completes, since there's no 'face'? I'd rather see a progress window. :(
[21:39] <tehbaut> doesn't anyone know they shortcut to zoom in on the screen?
[21:39] <lovetruth> well - i had to remove the "IcedTea" plugin (using Synaptic) with firefox/Chromium closed, and then reinstalled sun-java6-jdk and sun-java6-jre , and then entered the sun java site, and installed the "Java" first plugin BESIDES IcedTea plugin!... :) and... magically... worked! :) of course, i used gksudo firefox to start firefox in root rights :)
[21:39] <arand> daveycakes: 8.04 is I guess "proven to work" on that particular machine, That a later version would prove better/having more features/being incompatible on certain areas/worse is a possibility
[21:39] <calebh1> I removed ubuntu but kept grub because I needed some extra file space on my Vista partition. Now I want to install ubuntu again, will ubuntu override my existing grub?
[21:39] <lovetruth> AND JAVA WORKED! :)
[21:39] <jrib> xiong: doesn't exist, you can monitor the process in system-monitor
[21:39] <daveycakes> thank you
[21:40] <lovetruth> calebh1, - what grub version?
[21:40] <xiong> jrib, thank you. I suspect that will tell me when the process completes but not how far along it is.
[21:40] <jrib> xiong: that's correct
[21:40] <lovetruth> by the way, there are options to reuse grub... but still, what version?
[21:40] <calebh1> lovetruth: I don't know, and I don't have access to the linux partition on windows
[21:41] <lovetruth> you do have access :)
[21:41] <lovetruth> there is a software you have to install
[21:41] <lovetruth> forgot it's name, i guess you can google for "mount linux partitions on xp" :)
[21:41] <xiong> jrib, Do you have any preference for backup utility?
[21:41] <calebh1> I'm on vista
[21:41] <Nattgew> is there software to access ext4 from windows?
[21:41] <calebh1> but I'll look
[21:41] <jrib> xiong: i'm partial to rsnapshot
[21:41] <lovetruth> well, then vista - but it's quite the same, they kept some basic things from XP :)

[21:48] <seth> Hi there.  I am running Ubuntu J.  This problem started about two days ago.  In every open window, there is no bar above the menu bar (the bar which you normally click to maximize/minimize/move the window).  I asked this a few minutes ago, and was told to try typing something about metacity into the terminal.  It sort of worked, but when I restarted it was broke again.  What should I do?
[21:48] <RPG_Master> does evolution auto-backup somewhere?

[21:49] <s34n> DasEi: ?
[21:49] <seth> Anyone?
[21:49] <xiong> Sorry, iskin; never tried that. I have Ubuntu installed, straight up, and Wine for the occasional necessity.

[21:50] <mark_> How do I find out what keeps making my fan go wild and my system lock up?
[21:50] <Nattgew> seth: if you go to preferences and appearance settings, in the effects tab, what do you have selected?
[21:50] <Frijolie> is there no way to directly access a local OpenOffice database with java?
[21:50] <dbugger> Please, someone help me connect to my ftp server. it doesnt come through :(
[21:50] <DasEi> s34n: then check that partition fro there, chkdsk... >> ##windows
[21:51] <daveycakes> whats the ubuntu eqv. of putty?
[21:51] <jrib> daveycakes: ssh in the terminal
[21:51] <seth> Normal for visual effects, though it was on extra.  Under theme, I've selected Dust Sand
[21:51] <daveycakes> oh yah :) sweet
[21:51] <RPG_Master> any help at all?
[21:51] <prince_jammys> daveycakes: there is also a putty in the repositories.
[21:51] <DasEi> mark_: /var/log/syslog  or, if at bootup, dmesg
[21:51] <Nattgew> dbugger: what are you using to connect?
[21:51] <DasEi> RPG_Master: call your account in a browser an check..
[21:51] <Nattgew> seth: to get it to work you should probably select none
[21:52] <dbugger> Im typing in nautilus "ftp://username@ip"
[21:52] <s34n> DasEi: I have already chkdsk'ed the disk... more than once
[21:52] <seth> What do you mean?  Select none where?
[21:52] <RPG_Master> DasEi: How do I do that?
[21:52] <dbugger> with some, it does work, but with one of them is not working :(
[21:52] <Mka> prince_jammys: ok
[21:52] <Nattgew> dbugger: one of what?
[21:52] <seth> Nevermind.  I tried selecting no effects and it fixed it for some windows.
[21:52] <Guest19208> Hi, I have stupid microphone prvery frustratingoblem...ive googled for ages and its
[21:53] <dbugger> my university server
[21:53] <DasEi> brianV: I haven't tried the 250, you know for sure it troubles ? xserver-xorg-video-nv  would be the open source one
[21:53] <prince_jammys> Mka: will be easy for you, and probably fun.
[21:53] <seth> Make that all windows.
[21:53] <dbugger> my uni gives me some storage space
[21:53] <seth> Why was it working with effects before though?
[21:53] <DasEi> RPG_Master: which provider ?
[21:53] <Keiffer> how can i make cron to run an alarm (mp3 file) before any user logs in? at the login scree, i mean...
[21:53] <serp_> Nattgew: ah that was easy =) thanks!
[21:53] <brianV> DasEi: There are also versions of the proprietary driver in the repositories that are 'Ubuntu-friendly'. That is, they work properly
[21:53] <Nattgew> seth: maybe something broke it...
[21:53] <Nattgew> serp_: you're welcome
[21:53] <brianV> DasEi: I am just not sure which I need
[21:54] <s34n> DasEi: I still need to resize the partition, despite the bad sectors
[21:54] <mark_> I can't make heads or tails of it
[21:54] <RPG_Master> DasEi: It doesn't matter, all my email has been removed on sync with their server
[21:54] <Guest19208> can someone help with microphone problem? it was working before
[21:54] <Nattgew> seth: if you type compiz --replace in the terminal, what does it tell you?
[21:54] <Mka> prince_jammys: what do I install in ubuntu to get started with Ruby?
[21:54] <DasEi> brianV: on your own risk :
[21:54] <DasEi> !envyng
[21:54] <prince_jammys> Mka: guess :)
[21:54] <Nattgew> dbugger: so the university is the only one that doesn't work? any errors?
[21:55] <dbugger> i can connect with gftp
[21:55] <guntbert> !info ruby | Mka
[21:55] <dbugger> but not with nautilus. it just gives me a folder-less window
[21:55] <prince_jammys> Mka: install ruby rubybook irb
[21:55] <DasEi> RPG_Master:I don't get your question then ..
[21:55] <calebh1> lovetruth: are you still there?
[21:55] <Mka> prince_jammys: thanks a lot. let me get started!!!!
[21:55] <s34n> the man page for ntfsresize suggests using fdisk to resize the partition
[21:56] <s34n> won't fdisk wipe the fs?
[21:56] <prince_jammys> Mka: irb is the interactive app.
[21:56] <gopi> hi everyone, do you know how to become root (with su -) without going into the /root folder?
[21:56] <linxeh> fdisk doesnt wipe anything except the partition table
[21:56] <DasEi> !sudo | gopi
[21:56] <lstarnes> gopi: try sudo -i
[21:56] <lstarnes> gopi: it will still change directories though
[21:57] <gopi> thanks i will try
[21:57] <DasEi> gopi: if you know, what you're doing : sudo -s or -i
[21:57] <Leissi> hurr
[21:57] <onaogh> anybody have experience with Freeradius2
[21:57] <Leissi> here I am again, this time in an ubuntu live session
[21:57] <Leissi> So
[21:57] <RPG_Master> my question: does evolution auto-backup somewhere?
[21:57] <RPG_Master> I just open Evolution and it gave me the whole "Welcome" setup screen. Not knowing what was going on I just pointed it to my ~/.evolution/local    but then it restarted the Welcome screen and now my mail is missing! PLEASE tell me my mail just got deleted :'(
[21:57] <RPG_Master> I had evolution already configured
[21:58] <onaogh> !freeradius
[21:58] <onaogh> !freeradius2
[21:58] <Leissi> I can't boot into linux, since I accidentally the whole bootloader when installing. How do I add an option to boot into linux with windows 7 on the list too?
[21:58] <onaogh> !help
[21:58] <RPG_Master> but after fixing some hard drive problems it was asking me to re-set up my account
[21:58] <KnifeySpooney> I have this annoying error, I installed a custom kernel a while back which I don't use anymore. I uninstalled it by following instructions on this page: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/debian-redhat-linux-delete-kernel-command/
[21:59] <KnifeySpooney> But when I run 'sudo update-initramfs -k all -u', it tries to update the custom kernel still and returns 'Cannot find /lib/modules/<IP_ADDRESS>-custom'
[21:59] <tehbaut> sudo -i nor sudu su - get me into root
[21:59] <Mka> Leissi: reinstall grub to the MBR
[21:59] <tehbaut> is the default password not blank?
[21:59] <DasEi> RPG_Master: if had set it to store locally, can do : sudo updatedb, then locate *blah-examplemail*  to see if it's still somewhere
[21:59] <s34n> Leissi: you will need a boot loader
[21:59] <KnifeySpooney> It updates the kernel I'm using, but then it still acts as if that other kernel is still there
[21:59] <RPG_Master> SO does anyone know of anything I can do to get my email back?
[21:59] <Leissi> Mka: how do I go on about that?
[21:59] <onaogh> recover it
[22:00] <DasEi> RPG_Master: else login in your account online to see if mail is still on the (remote) server, then can down them again
[22:00] <Leissi> RPG_Master: if it's not a local copy I suspect it's gone for good
[22:00] <Leissi> then again DasEi gives better advice anyway
[22:00] <Mka> Leissi: Use a Live CD and use grub-install
[22:00] <Leissi> mka, I *am* on a live cd session
[22:00] <s34n> Leissi: http://www.google.com/search?q=instll+grub&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
[22:00] <RPG_Master> Leissi: It was a local copy... :(
[22:01] <RPG_Master> When I get mail from my provider its remove from there servers
[22:01] <Ido_> Hey guys, i'm back and I have a question...when I installed Xubuntu it made me make a password for the computer, can I disable the password later?
[22:01] <DasEi> !grub | Leissi
[22:01] <Mka> Leissi: Ok. Do you still have your /boot/grub/* files in your HDD (not live CD)?
[22:01] <fearful> RPG_Master, are you using evolution?
[22:01] <RPG_Master> fearful: Yep
[22:02] <guntbert> tehbaut: sudo wants *your* password
[22:02] <fearful> RPG_Master, ok then go to Edit > Preferences and click edit on your account
[22:02] <Leissi> mka, nope :P
[22:02] <Mka> Leissi: try to "mkdir ~/tmpdir && sudo mount /dev/sda? ~/tmpdir"
[22:02] <DasEi> RPG_Master: so badly configured, try to locate the mail (sure you still remember a sender like amazon or something to search comp for)
[22:03] <Mka> Leissi: have you mounted your Linux partition?
[22:03] <Leissi> I'm not entirely sure
[22:03] <DasEi> Leissi: mount tells you
[22:03] <fearful> RPG_Master, once there highlight your account and click 'edit', and click the tab that says 'Receiving options' and you'll see a tick box saying 'Leave messages on server' make sure that's checked
[22:03] <calebh1> I removed ubuntu but kept grub because I needed some extra file space on my Vista partition. Now I want to install ubuntu again, will ubuntu override my existing grub?
[22:04] <Mka> Leissi: try "ls /dev/sd*"
[22:04] <Leissi>  /dev/sdb3 on /media/disk-1 type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal)
[22:04] <KnifeySpooney> !pastebin
[22:04] <RPG_Master> The mail was located in ~/.evolution/local/ and I pointed evolution to that when it asked for a backup to restore
[22:04] <Mka> Leissi: ok
[22:05] <Mka> Leissi: now "ls /media/disk-1/boot/grub"
[22:05] <DasEi> RPG_Master: and now that dir is empty ?
[22:05] <Mka> Leissi: can you see some files there?
[22:05] <n1ckr> Hmm any common reasons for slow boot on Karmic nearly twice as slow as Jaunty to get to gdm
[22:05] <KnifeySpooney> !pastebinit http://paste.ubuntu.com/281664/
[22:05] <Leissi> Mka: ls: cannot access /media/disk-1/boot/grub: No such file or directory  :|
[22:05] <fearful> RPG_Master, cd ~/.evolution/local and then send the ls command
[22:05] <Mka> Leissi: what about "ls /media/disk-1/"?
[22:05] <DasEi> no, but n1ckr, see
[22:06] <DasEi> !karmic
[22:06] <RPG_Master> then the Welcome dialog restated and asked again but this time my mail was replaced with some generic inbox, outbox and other files that add up to a few KB of data (and my inbox was like 2gigs)
[22:06] <Leissi> returns lines
[22:06] <Leissi> seems to be the folders or something
[22:06] <DasEi> Leissi: your using jaunty or karmic ?
[22:06] <Leissi> still no grub there though
[22:06] <stapel> I've installed mythtv via Add/Remove...how do I get mythtv to recognize my tuner Elgato DDT 2008
[22:07] <KnifeySpooney> I have this annoying error, I installed a custom kernel a while back which I don't use anymore. I uninstalled it manually by following instructions for Debian/Ubuntu on this page: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/debian-redhat-linux-delete-kernel-command/ . But when I run 'sudo update-initramfs -k all -u', it tries to update the custom kernel still and returns http://paste.ubuntu.com/281664/ . The first kernel is the one I am u
[22:07] <fearful> RPG_Master, did you ever make an actual backup of the evolution mail? Or are you just trying to load them from there because they said they were saved their?
[22:07] <Mka> Leissi: does it has these: "bin etc var tmp ... mnt"?
[22:07] <Leissi> mka, yes
[22:07] <Mka> Leissi: jaunty
[22:07] <Leissi> 8.10
[22:07] <RPG_Master> fearful: I just loaded them from there because that where they were stored :/
[22:07] <RPG_Master> never made a real backup
[22:08] <DasEi> Leissi:intrepid it is then, but allright
[22:08] <fearful> RPG_Master, have you checked if they are their?
[22:08] <RPG_Master> I am screwed aren't I :(
[22:08] <Mka> Leissi: did you delete your "boot" folder?
[22:08] <Leissi> I never deleted anything
[22:08] <RPG_Master> fearful: they've been replaced with new files :(
[22:08] <DasEi> RPG_Master: locate didn't find them either ? also not in :
[22:08] <fearful> RPG_Master, it depends because if the files are there then we just need to find away of replacing them.
[22:08] <DasEi> !trash
[22:08] <Leissi> I didn't install grub in fear of fucking things up again and having to reinstall windows 7 due to error
[22:08] <Mka> try: "sudo cat /media/disk-1/etc/fstab"
[22:09] <fearful> RPG_Master, so if I understand correctly, the original files are not there?
[22:09] <Mka> Leissi: try "sudo cat /media/disk-1/etc/fstab"
[22:09] <RPG_Master> fearful: Yep, they've been replaced
[22:09] <Leissi> !pastebin
[22:10] <Leissi> mka, http://paste.ubuntu.com/281665/
[22:10] <MadsRH> Hey. Does the Mythbuntu 9.10 have a custom X-splash or does it use the default Ubuntu one?
[22:10] <fearful> RPG_Master, yea then there is not much we can do unless you have deleted them manually, if they were just simply replaced because of a new configuration (I'm not 100% sure) but most certain that those files are lost I'm sorry.
[22:10] <Leissi> that doesn't tell ME anything but it might tell something to you
[22:10] <wall-e_> anyone in here running crunchbang?
[22:11] <RPG_Master> fearful: ... :'(
[22:11] <RPG_Master> I  MUST NEVER LET THIS HAPPEN AGAIN!!!
[22:11] <fearful> RPG_Master, yet again I'm not 100% sure, because I don't know all the details on how the new configuration was made or why it was replaced in the first place
[22:11] <Mka> Leissi: I see. Try "cd /media/disk-1/boot"
[22:11] <Leissi> right
[22:11] <Leissi> what now
[22:11] <RPG_Master> Would some kind of data recovery tool be able to restore those files for me?
[22:12] <DasEi> wall-e: what's that ?
[22:12] <wall-e_> its this rebuild of ubuntu 9.04
[22:12] <xiong> WALL-E!

[22:13] <xiong> wall-e_, may I have you over to my house and feed you tin cans?
[22:13] <ArmchairArmada> I have a question.  I just installed a dvd drive and now the cpu fan seems to get quieter during hard drive activity.  Is this something to worry about?  Could it be getting inconsistent power?

[22:15] <fearful> RPG_Master, was this problem caused because of a wreck of the program? Or how

[22:16] <DasEi> foey: /etc/network/interfaces

[22:18] <mgmuscari> hi, has anybody ever experienced their panel widgets suddenly being jumbled after a restart? like so: http://www.eden.rutgers.edu/~muscarim/img/borked_panel.png
[22:18] <RPG_Master> DasEi: My out put http://paste.ubuntu.com/281670/
[22:18] <Mka> Leissi: insert "sudo" in front
[22:19] <Leissi> yeah noticed
[22:19] <mgmuscari> i simply can't deal with the session changer/shutdown menu being in the middle of my panel D:
[22:19] <mgmuscari> i tried to move it, and it ended up crashing my system with a "graphical error" - i'm guess that's just some compiz / ati driver stuff
[22:20] <Leissi> mka, I assume it succeeded since I did not get any errors
[22:20] <DasEi> RPG_Master: this is what ? result of ls in the mail dir ? seems everything is fine ..
[22:20] <Mka> Leissi: type "pwd && ls"
[22:20] <KnifeySpooney> Anybody got a clue on my prob?
[22:20] <wonka_> anyone nkow how to download yahoo messenger on unbuntu 9.04?

[22:21] <Leissi> mka, still nothing
[22:21] <PMantis> Is there a document anywhere for making a HDD installed system that runs with most of its fs mounted ro?
[22:21] <fearful> DasEi, yea but he has files that were replaced
[22:21] <mgmuscari> wonka_: it supports the yahoo protocol... no video as far as i know, though
[22:21] <foey> Is there a widget that tells me how much free RAM I have left? I used to have one a while back but can't remember for the life of me.
[22:21] <Mka> Leissi: there is no grub folder at /media/disk-1/boot?
[22:22] <fearful> DasEi, RPG_Master can't seem to find away to recover these files :S I don't know if they were deleted and if we can find them in another folder. But there is no way to back them up unless otherwise :S
[22:22] <Forza4Life> how do i get to my desktop directory in terminal
[22:22] <fearful> RPG_Master, atleast not that I know of
[22:22] <usertwo> how did this happen!!? I deleted the .evolution folder from the home directory. I then reinstalled evolution from synaptic and when I started evolution all my old info and settings were back! where does evolution store the 'settings' file so I can delete it and start a fresh 'first time wizard' start??
[22:22] <DasEi> RPG_Master: fearful , uugh, hmm,  try : sudo updatedb && locate *Inbox* to check for any doubles, that looks bad then
[22:23] <Leissi> mka, whoops yeah there is
[22:23] <Leissi> fumbled a bit
[22:24] <DasEi> usertwo: sudo apt-get remove --purge evolution to kill config, too (heh, and backup mail before)
[22:24] <Mka> Leissi: ok does it has files inside?
[22:24] <Leissi> yes
[22:24] <m3thos> hi there, need help with ubuntu9.04/amd64/ATI drivers and wine+eve online, what's the best channel ?

[22:25] <Mka> Leissi: do you know which partition is your windows 7 in?
[22:25] <fearful> DasEi, RPG_Master that actually does work, I can see the output in my /home/user/.evolution folder than of the /usr/share/evolution/2.26... maybe you can check that out
[22:25] <DasEi> usertwo: sudo apt-get install evolution afterwards
