[05:07] <soreau> Znerky: I just 'chmod -x $(which NetworkManager)' to kill it and setup my network manually with scripts ran from /etc/rc.local
[05:07] <ComputerChic> AnggaDj98: I asked a question I did not post an ad.
[05:07] <AnggaDj98> ..
[05:07] <Znerky> soreau i dont know wich network manager there is doing this
[05:07] <Tongpow> is there a easy way to change login themes in 10.10 , Tweak only lets me change the icon and background
[05:08] <soreau> Znerky: You could try just installing a sane resolv.conf somewhere, then in rc.local, put 'cp /etc/resolv.bak /etc/resolv.conf'
[05:08] <J4HG0V3G> AnggaDj98, sorry i was looking online
[05:08] <ceo> soreau,  00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
[05:08] <Znerky> will try that
[05:08] <J4HG0V3G> AnggaDj98, umm what do you mean?
[05:08] <soreau> ceo: Alright, what does 'sudo apt-get install mesa-utils && glxinfo|grep renderer' say?
[05:09] <raido_> Znerky: System>preferences>Network Connections...chose you connectuon select edit, change to DHCH addresses only, then below that add the servers you want
[05:09] <AnggaDj98> J4HG0V3G: what did it do while stalling
[05:09] <Abhijit> hi guys
[05:09] <apn> ceo, can you execute compiz-check?
[05:09] <AnggaDj98> J4HG0V3G: did it checks for disk errors or something like that, or its just matter of time to shut it down (like it takes longer to shutdown)
[05:09] <soreau> apn: compiz-check is useless
[05:10] <Abhijit> in this blog they told to install some software called rtmpdump http://www.unixmen.com/linux-commands/1602-watch-al-jazeera-live-with-one-command but i dont have it my lucid repo!!!
[05:10] <Abhijit> help
[05:10] <soreau> apn: The actual output of compiz is the only thing that matters
[05:10] <FloodBot2> Abhijit: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:10] <Znerky> where is the rc.local located?
[05:10] <celeryman> just upgraded to 10.10 from 10.04 and can not get wireless card to turn on, its atheros card  thanks in advance
[05:10] <J4HG0V3G> AnggaDj98, well it stalls. lol. umm it seems to close everything and shows just the wallpaper no taskbar or windows just the wallpaper like it's about to terminate X then well it does nothing and no it's not time i waited lol
[05:10] <Abhijit> !rc | Znerky
[05:10] <soreau> Znerky: /etc/rc.local
[05:10] <heptile> Hello, can I get hadoop help here?
[05:10] <Znerky> thanks
[05:10] <ceo> apn, how do i execute compiz-check
[05:10] <soreau> ceo: Don't use compiz-check, it's useless
[05:10] <J4HG0V3G> AnggaDj98, like i said it doesnt do that with Studio or KDE . no clue why with gnome
[05:11] <J4HG0V3G> oh and im runing an HP DV6
[05:11] <Abhijit> how to install rtmpdump in lucid? help?
[05:11] <soreau> ceo: Show the output of 'sudo apt-get install mesa-utils && glxinfo|grep renderer'
[05:11] <AnggaDj98> J4HG0V3G: never been there before
[05:11] <AnggaDj98> J4HG0V3G: I'll try googling for a sec
[05:12] <yawm> hey i wanted to as, does anyone know how to check how much time is taken for an application to start?
[05:12] <draven_sol> i want my swap partition on a lvm, in partitioning do i set up the drive for swap or for lvm first?
[05:12] <ceo> Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[05:12] <J4HG0V3G> AnggaDj98, well at the least it's annoying when i install an update like a driver that needs restarting it will install after a hard reboot. lol it will tell me to reboot so i reboot and it stalls after litterally 4 secs then i hold power and when i turn back on it's installed
[05:12] <ceo> soreau, Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[05:12] <yawm> for example i wanted to see the load time for fx, chrome, etc
[05:13] <soreau> yawm: That's a subjective question. When you start an application, it starts immediately. But, the window may not be visible or usable until everything is loaded
[05:13] <AnggaDj98> !lol > J4HG0V3G
[05:13] <soreau> ceo: Pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file to paste.ubuntu.com
[05:13] <AnggaDj98> J4HG0V3G: wait a sec
[05:13] <yawm> soreau: is there a way to check time for everything in the app to load?
[05:13] <AnggaDj98> J4HG0V3G: and no "lol"s please :)
[05:13] <J4HG0V3G> AnggaDj98,  : |
[05:13] <Znerky> how do i edit rc.local and save it that location?
[05:14] <Znerky> gedit wont do it
[05:14] <TBotNik1> Jordan_U: OK upgrade complete!
[05:14] <soreau> yawm: I guess the cpu would flare up while it's loading? probably not a reliable check though
[05:14] <soreau> yawm: Try asking in #3linux
[05:14] <soreau> yawm: Try asking in ##linux, rather
[05:14] <AnggaDj98> J4HG0V3G: looks like someone posted it to launchpad bugs already
[05:14] <J4HG0V3G> so i guess for now i wait. yay!
[05:14] <AnggaDj98> J4HG0V3G: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/210859
[05:14] <soreau> Znerky: gksu gedit /etc/rc.local
[05:15] <danielcg25> How do I add an IRC server that's not in the list of servers in xChat?
[05:15] <yawm> soreau: ok, thanks :)
[05:15] <AnggaDj98> J4HG0V3G: the problem is at the gdm
[05:15] <AnggaDj98> gnome display manager i suppose?
[05:15] <Znerky> that gave me errors soreau
[05:15] <soreau> danielcg25: Xchat>Network List>Add
[05:15] <soreau> Znerky: What errors?
[05:15] <ceo> soreau, http://paste.ubuntu.com/587200/
[05:15] <raido_> Znerky: did you try what I suggested yet?
[05:16] <soreau> ceo: You have an intel graphics card but nvidia glx module installed
[05:16] <celeryman> how long should i wait before reasking my question
[05:16] <soreau> ceo: You need to apt-get remove *nvidia*
[05:16] <broodwich> creating xorg.conf and putting in InputDevice<enter>/dev/input/mouse1 caused gdm not to open
[05:16] <J4HG0V3G> well thanks AnggaDj98
[05:16] <J4HG0V3G> see ya later i guess i must wait! lol
[05:16] <J4HG0V3G> darn
[05:16] <J4HG0V3G> sorry
[05:17] <OUTOFLUKS> hello ubuntu
[05:17] <J4HG0V3G> didnt mean to say the dreaded three letter
[05:17] <AnggaDj98> haha
[05:17] <pumeust> does anyone know the command to get full access to extended drives?
[05:17] <soreau> ceo: Can you pastebin the output of 'dpkg -l|grep nvidia|grep ii'?
[05:17] <Znerky> ohh
[05:17] <AnggaDj98> J4HG0V3G: anyway does it solve the case?
[05:17] <Znerky> raido: i didn't see what you wrote before trying your way
[05:17] <AnggaDj98> J4HG0V3G: if it does, then your welcome :D
[05:17] <J4HG0V3G> AnggaDj98, what?
[05:17] <OUTOFLUKS> is there anyone here with experience with accessing an encrypted root directory?
[05:17] <tyrrex> hi
[05:17] <AnggaDj98> J4HG0V3G: the stalling case?
[05:17] <broodwich> soreau: purge removes more of a packages endtrails
[05:17] <J4HG0V3G> AnggaDj98, you mean ctrl alt backspace?
[05:17] <AnggaDj98> J4HG0V3G: yep trying to kill the X
[05:18] <J4HG0V3G> hmmm
[05:18] <AnggaDj98> if it does then your welcome
[05:18] <J4HG0V3G> wait a sec let me try i'll be back AnggaDj98 ha ha
[05:18] <AnggaDj98> laughing out loud
[05:18]  * J4HG0V3G proceeds to lol but dares not to type it
[05:18] <OUTOFLUKS> I'm having issues with luksOpen - it doesn't prompt for password as detailed in guides on forums
[05:19] <OUTOFLUKS> I'm using an ubuntu 10.6 livecd with dm-crypt loaded
[05:19] <ceo> soreau, http://paste.ubuntu.com/587201/
[05:19] <broodwich> OUTOFLUKS: trucrypt does encryption
[05:19] <soreau> broodwich: sure, I wasn't giving a politically correct command, though it actually should work for the purposes of getting his drivers working
[05:19] <Znerky1> raido_: it did a reboot of the connection after i inputed the dns servers, so now if i reboot it should use those dns servers automatic right?
[05:19] <broodwich> soreau: easy big fella
[05:19] <raido_> Znerky1: it should
[05:19] <OUTOFLUKS> broodwich: will it allow me to access a luks encrypted drive?
[05:19] <soreau> ceo: sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-current nvidia-settings && sudo reboot
[05:20] <broodwich> no need to get, sore
[05:20] <soreau> broodwich: There, there's your --purge
[05:20] <Znerky1> thanks for the help :)
[05:20] <broodwich> righteous
[05:20] <lixinfish> apn: just eating lunch. I tried that but still get a chsh: PAM authentication failed error..       I useradd a new account and it logged in to /bin/sh. so I used 'chsh' to try to change it to /bin/bash. and wrongly input "bash", then error happens..
[05:20] <ceo> oke  i will try, if have some probelm what i can do for login on my ubutu
[05:20] <jiltdil> if my system is connected in a LAN network is there any way to find the ip's of all connected system via termainl using some command?
[05:20] <Znerky1> just wondering if there is others with ati cards that are experiencing bad fps in games and such under linux?
[05:20] <ceo> soreau, oke  i will try, if have some probelm what i can do for login on my ubutu
[05:21] <AnggaDj98> oke: nederlands?
[05:21] <apn> lixinfish, so it is PAM authentication...
[05:21] <broodwich> OUTOFLUKS: i've never tried either, sorry
[05:21] <OUTOFLUKS> broodwich: thanks anyway. :3
[05:21] <soreau> ceo: If X doesn't start, you can personally blame me ;)
[05:21] <arieDOANK> :)
[05:21] <arieDOANK> i kill you
[05:21] <apn> lixinfish, don't worry, that's easy
[05:22] <broodwich> he kills you
[05:22] <jiltdil> if my system is connected in a LAN network is there any way to find the ip's of all connected system via termainl using some command?
[05:22] <apn> lixinfish, try "sudo -i vi /etc/passwd"
[05:23] <apn> lixinfish, find root (should be 1st line) and at the end change it back to /bin/bash
[05:23] <gaelfx> jiltdil: I'm guessing that would depend heavily on what software the router your using has installed
[05:23] <OUTOFLUKS> is there anyone else here that could provide guidance for accessing a luks encrypted directory? I'm using these instructions (http://pastebin.com/HVtGjTTq) from ubuntuforum, but I'm not getting a passphrase prompt as described in step two
[05:23] <soreau> apn: why interactive mode?
[05:23] <gaelfx> jiltdil: if it's ddwrt or something like that, there probably is, if it's proprietary, I kinda doubt it
[05:24] <joseah> AnggaDj98, well you tried ha ha
[05:24] <lixinfish> apn: It works! Thank you so much! :)
[05:24] <joseah> AnggaDj98, thats more than i can say for some people

[05:28] <AnggaDj98> ah ok
[05:28] <OUTOFLUKS> could anyone advise if there is a better room for getting support with encryption issues?
[05:28] <OUTOFLUKS> it _is_ on an ubuntu system
[05:28] <J4HG0V3G> well thanks anyways AnggaDj98
[05:28] <AnggaDj98> J4HG0V3G: yes your welcome though i didn't do anything :s
[05:28] <ceo> soreau, thanks alot , am have done, for fix may desktop, can i get the log convertion on xchat, am need documentation you tutorial
[05:29] <gaelfx> jiltdil: ddwrt is a firmware, open source, for some routers, so it's a lot more friendly to the kind of task you're talking about
[05:29] <J4HG0V3G> i know its called courteousy AnggaDj98. lol
[05:29] <J4HG0V3G> darn
[05:29] <soreau> ceo: Now, can you show the output of 'glxinfo|grep renderer'?
[05:29] <J4HG0V3G> ha ha
[05:29] <Sik_> Typing sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda gives me this: http://pzt.me/8soi -- The Ubuntu installer doesn't recognise any partitions though =|
[05:29] <danielcg25> Ubuntu is awesome! Just installed it, it's twice as fast as Windows 7
[05:29] <jiltdil> gaelfx:ddwrt   i have to install it?
[05:30] <OUTOFLUKS> could anyone advise if there is a better room for getting support with encryption issues?
[05:30] <gaelfx> jiltdil: yeah, you can google their homepage
[05:30] <OUTOFLUKS> is there anyone else here that could provide guidance for accessing a luks encrypted directory? I'm using these instructions (http://pastebin.com/HVtGjTTq) from ubuntuforum, but I'm not getting a passphrase prompt as described in step two
[05:30] <ceo> soreau, OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) Ironlake Mobile GEM 20100330 DEVELOPMENT x86/MMX/SSE2
[05:30] <AnggaDj98> danielcg25: thats why we're here
[05:30] <soreau> ceo: Cool. Compiz should work then, if your chip isn't blacklisted
[05:30] <AnggaDj98> danielcg25: btw its up to 20x faster than Vista i used to have
[05:31] <ceo> soreau, thanks, am need documetation that tutorial, can you give me some tutorial
[05:31] <soreau> ceo: I don't know how the nvidia driver got installed but this might not be the problem every time. Intel drivers work out of the box
[05:31] <AnggaDj98> soreau: why would a chip could be blacklisted?
[05:31] <jiltdil> gaelfx:thanx a ton
[05:31] <ceo> soreau, thanks, am need documetation that tutorial, can you give me some tutorial
[05:31] <soreau> AnggaDj98: Some intel cards are too poor for the new kms driver to even make them work for 3D properly
[05:32] <ceo> soreau, am need see log chat on xchat can i do ?
[05:32] <AnggaDj98> soreau: what does that have to do with getting blacklisted?
[05:32] <ceo> soreau, you tutorial that mush i make some documentation for step
[05:32] <soreau> ceo: Look in ~/.xchat2/scrollback/FreeNode
[05:33] <soreau> ceo: It's not a tutorial, it's just that the nvidia driver got installed somehow by mistake. This can happen if you did a dist upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10
[05:33] <hvnsweeting> hi all, I've ínstall Netbean on my Ubuntu, but when i go to File > New Project > I dont' just see C and C++, how to i get the Java Project? thanks
[05:34] <soreau> AnggaDj98: Because when you try start start compiz, it may have any unpredictable results. And even if it did run, it would be very poor performance to even use
[05:34] <Znerky1> now im searching the net thin on a way to increase my framerate in heroes of newerth on linux. and some stated this. what does that mean?
[05:34] <Znerky1> running HoN with higher priority (`ps -e` to find HoN PID, then use `renice -10 <pid>`).
[05:34] <hvnsweeting> hi all, I've ínstall Netbean on my Ubuntu, but when i go to File > New Project > I just see C and C++, how to i get the Java Project? thanks
[05:34] <ceo> ~/.xchat2/scrollback/FreeNode < how i see
[05:34] <soreau> AnggaDj98: So they just blacklisted the older less capable cards
[05:34] <OUTOFLUKS> is there anyone kicking around that knows about cryptsetup and luks encryption? I can't boot into my box and I'm trying to access my root partition but it's encrypted.
[05:34] <soreau> ceo: gedit ~/.xchat2/scrollback/FreeNode/#ubuntu.txt
[05:35] <AnggaDj98> soreau: ok thanks
[05:35] <soreau> AnggaDj98: no problem
[05:35] <AnggaDj98> ceo: go to terminal or open a gedit window
[05:36] <AnggaDj98> anyone here ever set up a LAMP server?
[05:36] <ceo> em.. soreau and AnggaDj98 that just see my chat today how see the pass
[05:36] <gaelfx> jiltdil: no problem, was that something you had been looking for for a while?
[05:36] <apn> AnggaDj98, yes
[05:37] <jiltdil> gaelfx:yes dd-wrt web
[05:37] <AnggaDj98> apn: which do you think is better perl or PHP
[05:37] <gaelfx> jiltdil: enjoy :D
[05:37] <soreau> ceo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/587210/

[05:38] <AnggaDj98> Abhijit: do you mean using Mythbuntu?
[05:38] <ceo> soreau, nice thanks
[05:38] <Abhijit> AnggaDj98, mythbuntu is ubuntu with mythtv preconfigured
[05:38] <soreau> ceo: You're welcome
[05:38] <AnggaDj98> Abhijit: hmm yeah thats true
[05:39] <jiltdil> i listen song via earphone but when i want to record my voice using audacity my earphone doesnot responds also while on voice chat the voice of the person comes to me but my voice doesnot goes to him?
[05:40] <AnggaDj98> jiltdil: check if the microphone is muted at gnome-volume-control
[05:40] <Znerky1> how do i run a program in high priority?
[05:40] <AnggaDj98> jiltdil: its muted by default
[05:40] <ruan> !nice
[05:41] <ruan> Znerky1: see above
[05:41] <soreau> jiltdil: Check your settings in sys>prefs>sound
[05:41] <Gump_> hey, #ubuntu. is it possible to run fsck from windows on a linux partition?
[05:41] <jiltdil> AnggaDj98:ok  m checking
[05:41] <Znerky1> okay thx will try that
[05:41] <Gump_> i can't boot into linux and don't have a boot cd on me
[05:41] <Gump_> *livecd
[05:41] <OUTOFLUKS> is there anyone kicking around that knows about cryptsetup and luks encryption? I can't boot into my box and I'm trying to access my root partition but it's encrypted.
[05:41] <ruan> Znerky1: a negative value will give it a high priority
[05:41] <AnggaDj98> Znerky1: run gnome-system-monitor
[05:41] <soreau> Gump_: Why not just use a live session?
[05:41] <gaelfx> Gump_: you could make a liveusb of gparted or something like that?
[05:42] <jiltdil> soreau:AnggaDj98:i didnot find the microphone option
[05:42] <Znerky1> ruan: what value would i set for a game ? -10?
[05:42] <AnggaDj98> Znerky1: goto Processes tab, click on the process you want the priority to change
[05:42] <ruan> jiltdil: under input
[05:42] <AnggaDj98> jiltdil: go to Input tabs
[05:42] <jiltdil> ok
[05:42] <AnggaDj98> jiltdil: go to Input tab*
[05:42] <ruan> Znerky1: yeah, -10 is a good one
[05:42] <AnggaDj98> Znerky1: change it into -20
[05:42] <Gump_> soreau, i don't have a livecd and no way to make one here. like i said. i need a way to do it without one
[05:42] <jiltdil> AnggaDj98:ruan:soreau:ok thanx i got it
[05:42] <AnggaDj98> Znerky1: yeah maybe -10 is good enough
[05:42] <soreau> Gump_: Well I guess you'd better head over to #windows then
[05:43] <AnggaDj98> jiltdil: np
[05:43] <Znerky1> so i want to set it so it does that every time i launch that perticular game
[05:43] <soreau> jiltdil: cool
[05:43] <ruan> !usb | Gump_
[05:43] <Gump_> lol #windows won't know the first thing about fixing linux issues. however linux users might know how to fix linux issues from windows
[05:43] <jiltdil> AnggaDj98:how much should i to increase input volume
[05:43] <Gump_> no usb drive either damnit. i've made a live usb drive before i know how
[05:43] <AnggaDj98> jiltdil: about 100 is enough to catch a voice, but it depends on your microphone type
[05:43] <ruan> net install?
[05:44] <ruan> from..hmm
[05:44] <krux> hey when i do a ps -ef i get like 20 lines with this flush-1.0 << number changes what is that ?..
[05:45] <Znerky1> how would i set the game up so it runs in high priority each time i dobbleclick on the shortcut for it?
[05:45] <Znerky1> i can't seem to understand "nice"
[05:45] <jiltdil> AnggaDj98:ok i give it to the 100 but still my voice is not recorded in audacity
[05:45] <clu3> is there any software that allows you to select a portion of the screen and capture it?
[05:45] <jiltdil> clu3:video or snaps
[05:45] <AnggaDj98> well
[05:46] <ruan> Znerky1: there could be a command. i'll check
[05:46] <jiltdil> clu3:for video Desktop recorder
[05:46] <AnggaDj98> jiltdil: well, try using another software, like ardour maybe? coz i got that same problem with my audacity
[05:46] <jiltdil> AnggaDj98:ok
[05:47] <clu3> jiltdil, just image capture
[05:47] <maurer_> Hey, I'm trying to use connection sharing from network manager, but when I plug the cable in, the host machine keeps flipping from connected to disconnected every half second or so.

[05:47] <jericom> Is there a good applet that shows network traffic in Ubuntu?
[05:47] <ruan> jericom: yep
[05:47] <soreau> jericom: gnome-system-monitor
[05:47] <jrtayloriv> jericom, Wireshark
[05:47] <flowbee___a> how do i play a .mkv on ubuntu 10.04
[05:47] <maurer_> I know the cable's good, as about a week ago I set this up manually with routing tables and masquerading, but would rather not do that frequently
[05:47] <maurer_> Any ideas on how to fix this?
[05:48] <X_kap3> iptraf
[05:48] <jiltdil> clu3:application-s->accessories-->take screenshot
[05:48] <ruan> jericom: system monitor applet, and right click preferences, check network, uncheck cpu

[05:48] <AnggaDj98> Znerky1: sudo nice -n -10 <program_name>
[05:48] <OUTOFLUKS> is there anyone kicking around that knows about cryptsetup and luks encryption? I can't boot into my box and I'm trying to access my root partition but it's encrypted.
[05:49] <soreau> maurer_: I've never had success with connection sharing with networkmanager. I usually just end up setting it up all manually after making sure networkmanager does not interfere
[05:49] <Znerky1> anggadj98: so i just add that into the shotcut?
[05:49] <Guest17690> Has anyone delt with installing drivers for Prism 2.5 wavelan wireless card? I have tried everything and can't get it to work.
[05:49] <AnggaDj98> Znerky1: make that the shortcut
[05:49] <jericom> ruan: is there another that you know of?
[05:50] <maurer_> soreau: :/ I had it work about 6 months ago, so it does work sometimes. I guess I'll just set it up manually. Do you know a way to get networkmangler to release an individual interface, i.e. to allow it to manage my wireless interface, but not my wired?
[05:50] <AnggaDj98> Znerky1: so make a shortcut with the command: gksu nice -n -10 <program_name>
[05:50] <soreau> maurer_: nope
[05:50] <Znerky1> the command in properties is /home/user/HON/hon.sh shall i just replace that?
[05:50] <ruan> gksudo
[05:51] <Abhijit> how to install rtmpdump in lucid? help?
[05:51] <jericom> Is there another applet to monitor network traffic besides "system monitor"?
[05:51] <AnggaDj98> Znerky1: maybe no
[05:51] <Chipper351> are there any good programs for identifying bad blocks on a hard drive and fixing/removing them?
[05:51] <Abhijit> jericom, do you want to monitor how much bandwidh you used? that mesn what size of software you downloaded etc?
[05:51] <AnggaDj98> Znerky1: just add those lines in your script
[05:52] <AnggaDj98> Chipper351: isn't it checked at boot?
[05:52] <Chipper351> its a USB drive
[05:52] <ceo> all ame need make my ubuntu 10.01 like this link :http://www.webupd8.org/2011/03/unity-364-brings-resizable-launcher-alt.html
[05:52] <py9371> hi what is the best froo ISO
[05:52] <py9371> program
[05:52] <Znerky1> "/home/user/HON/hon.sh" gksudo nice -n -10 ?
[05:52] <py9371> i want to read ISO for free
[05:52] <AnggaDj98> Chipper351: plug it in before the boot starts
[05:52] <ruan> py9371: it can be read without installing anything
[05:52] <py9371> My balls Are too big what should I do?!
[05:52] <ruan> py9371: open it with archive manager
[05:52] <soreau> py9371: You mean you want to mount an iso image?
[05:53] <AnggaDj98> Chipper351: but of course, theres a program that can be run manually
[05:53] <py9371> no i mean my balls are like 5 " each
[05:53] <Chipper351> what program? any idea?
[05:53] <soreau> woops
[05:53] <jericom> Abhijit: Basically the activity of the network card, at what speed is downloading, total data downloaded, etc.
[05:53] <AnggaDj98> Znerky1: no, open /home/user/HON/hon.sh, then add the gksudo nice -n -10 <program_name>
[05:53] <soreau> Jordan_U: What was he asking?
[05:54] <py9371> like my balls are too big
[05:54] <Abhijit> jericom, for total data downloded today, this week, last month, this year etc you can use vnstat.
[05:54] <benzaldehyde> o.O
[05:54] <AnggaDj98> !language | py9371
[05:54] <AnggaDj98> please kick him
[05:54] <Jordan_U> py9371: That is not apropriate for this channel. This is your last warning.
[05:54] <Jordan_U> !guidelines | py9371
[05:54] <py9371> my skateboard cut open my ball sack
[05:54] <AnggaDj98> ban
[05:54] <Abhijit> jericom, sudo apt-get install vnstat. then for firt time you need to do sudo vnstat to crete database. and second time onwardd you can directly run vnstat
[05:54] <AnggaDj98> bye
[05:55] <AnggaDj98> Chipper351: googling
[05:55] <Starminn> What is the thing called that you can turn off your computer/change your IM status in the Panel?
[05:55] <jericom> Abhijit: Ok perfect, but is there an applet that has that information?
[05:55] <AnggaDj98> indicator applet
[05:55] <AnggaDj98> Starminn: indicator applet session
[05:55] <Abhijit> jericom, ammm there can be. no idea. you look database of screenlet and awn and cairdo dock plugins
[05:56] <Starminn> AnggaDj98: No, the other one.
[05:57] <AnggaDj98> Starminn: you said the ones to turn it off and use the Me Menu?
[05:57] <Starminn> AnggaDj98: Yes. The Indicator Applet is for sound/mail.
[05:57] <evolabo> kj
[05:57] <AnggaDj98> Starminn: the indicator applet is the ones with Chat, Broadcast, Evolution Mail, Sound, and etc. menus and the indicaotr applet session is for shutdown and Me Menu
[05:58] <gaelfx> how can I change how chrome handles email addresses? I don't want it to open an external app
[05:58] <AnggaDj98> gaelfx: use desktop-webmail
[05:58] <introsp3ctive> anyone here listen to electronic music?
[05:58] <tass_> techno?
[05:58] <introsp3ctive> techno, dubstep, etc
[05:58] <Starminn> AnggaDj98: Then I'm afraid I don't have that applet anymore. Instead, the power controls are in the System menu
[05:58] <AnggaDj98> introsp3ctive: Kalimba from Windows 7 :D
[05:59] <ruan> introsp3ctive: i listen to dubstep, but that's offtopic
[05:59] <gaelfx> AnggaDj98: perhaps I phrased that poorly, I meant that I don't want it to open another application, I want it to open gmail compose in the browser
[05:59] <Starminn> introsp3ctive: That's off-topic. Please relocate this conversation in #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:59] <TBotNik1> All:  BRB system restarting after upgrade!
[05:59] <AnggaDj98> no, the desktop-webmail controls the way your default browser handles mailto: protocol
[05:59] <AnggaDj98> gaelfx: no, the desktop-webmail controls the way your default browser handles mailto: protocol
[05:59] <vishal_iitk> i have ubuntu installed on a pc, some other users also have it installed...we have our separate partitions....how can i stop others from accessing the drive in which i have installed ubuntu? I have searched for it on the internet
[06:00] <ruan> vishal_iitk: use permissions
[06:00] <AnggaDj98> vishal_iitk: encrypt your partition
[06:00] <gaelfx> AnggaDj98: is there any way to make it open compose in gmail?
[06:00] <elijah> How do I flush GRUB to only have latest 2/3 kernels?
[06:01] <ruan> elijah: delete the older kernels
[06:01] <AnggaDj98> gaelfx: so... when a mailto protocol came up and you click the link it will automatically open GMail's compose?
[06:01] <ruan> elijah: sudo apt-get delete linux-image-older-version-
[06:01] <jericom> Abhijit: Ok I found one its called netspeed
[06:01] <AnggaDj98> ruan: isn't it sudo apt-get remove?
[06:01] <Abhijit> jericom, ok
[06:01] <gaelfx> AnggaDj98: yeah
[06:01] <ruan> remove, yes
[06:01] <ruan> still waking up
[06:02] <Starminn> AnggaDj98: Any idea how to obtain it? I had to reinstall gnome-panel earlier today because KDE wiped it.
[06:02] <AnggaDj98> gaelfx: I think no, sorry
[06:02] <ruan> elijah: this can be done from synaptic too, just search
[06:02] <ameriserf> join #philosophy
[06:02] <AnggaDj98> Starminn: so, it depends on what DE you want now
[06:03] <gaelfx> AnggaDj98: that's ok, not your fault. thanks for thinking!
[06:03] <AnggaDj98> gaelfx: haha your welcome
[06:03] <Viking667> 'llo all. Still trying to troubleshoot my sound... primary sound card's a NVidia ALC1200, secondary sound card is an ES1371. I'm trying to use the primary card with Skype, but though the speakers work fine, the microphone sounds like it's been mixed with another frequency, making me sound like Igor Brovinskya (3 octaves lower than normal).
[06:03] <AnggaDj98> gaelfx: and sorry I can't answer that
[06:03] <Viking667> I'm _not_ using pulseaudio, or i'm trying damn hard not to (shot it on sight)
[06:03] <AnggaDj98> Starminn: now, do you want a KDE or a GNOME
[06:03] <ceo> all am hve install phpmyadmin with user and password (admin124) if am login with localhost/phpmyadmin and am can't used my username and password
[06:03] <Starminn> AnggaDj98: I'm faithful to Gnome. I was just trying out KDE and it's made a mess of my computer. Fonts are all screwed up,  it's got processess running half of my CPU in the background, it uninstalled gnome-panel, and now I don't have that applet.
[06:03] <soreau> Viking667: that's pretty funny
[06:03] <ceo> all ame need make my ubuntu 10.01 like this link :http://www.webupd8.org/2011/03/unity-364-brings-resizable-launcher-alt.html
[06:03] <Starminn> AnggaDj98: So, one at a time, I'm fixing Gnome.
[06:04] <ceo> all am hve install phpmyadmin with user and password (admin124) if am login with localhost/phpmyadmin and am can't used my username and password
[06:04] <juzzy_> gday
[06:04] <ceo> all am hve install phpmyadmin with user and password (admin124) if am login with localhost/phpmyadmin and am can't used my username and password
[06:04] <AnggaDj98> Starminn: you have to choose one coz this 2 desktop environments don't work together well
[06:04] <soreau> ! repeat | ceo
[06:04] <Viking667> So, what do I need to do to make me sound more ... normal? I've fiddled with things using console mixer program (alsamixer), but I suspect I'm missing something primary.
[06:04] <Starminn> AnggaDj98: Oh. Is there a particular reason for that? They really can't just work in harmony together?
[06:05] <AnggaDj98> Starminn: yes they don't
[06:05] <juzzy_> hey
[06:05] <TBotNik> All: Back upgrade successful I think?
[06:05] <AnggaDj98> juzzy_: gday my Australian friend :D
[06:05] <Starminn> AnggaDj98: Well then, I'm going to have to remain faithful to my good friend GNOME.
[06:06] <AnggaDj98> Starminn: oh and BTW KDE needs a lot of dependencies
[06:06] <Starminn> AnggaDj98: I know.
[06:06] <AnggaDj98> Starminn: and it needs a lot of memory to use them, so dont use KDE unless you want glitches in your desktop
[06:07] <joeb_> hi all .. does anyone use firewall ?
[06:07] <joeb_> also what is a good firewall ? i just installed firewall
[06:07] <Starminn> AnggaDj98: I've been gradually discovering that. I *want* to like it because it's so gosh darn pretty, but every time I try it vomits all over itself, and sometimes GNOME which I don't appreciate much
[06:07] <ayecee> joeb_: ufw
[06:07] <tass_> Chakra!
[06:07] <AnggaDj98> Starminn: but I'm still using KDE for testing my Qt4 programs, although it remains living unharmonically with GNOME
[06:07] <Danielcg25> Why doesnt Ubuntu see my brand new SDHC card and my camera does?
[06:07] <AnggaDj98> joeb_: maybe ufw?
[06:07] <Starminn> AnggaDj98: It uninstalled itself a few days ago. So anyway, what steps do I need to take? Just delete all KDE stuff, etc., but how do I get the MeMenu back?
[06:08] <joeb_> ayecee: is it command line ?
[06:08] <AnggaDj98> ayecee: bump
[06:08] <Viking667> bah. Looks like I'm going to have to reboot to sodding Vista to fix this... blech.
[06:08] <AnggaDj98> joeb_: yes it is
[06:08] <gaelfx> Viking667: have you tried the alsa backports?
[06:08] <Starminn> !firewall > joeb_
[06:08] <AnggaDj98> Starminn: install indicator-applet-complete
[06:09] <tass_> Does HDMI audio output work in ubuntu with latest nvidia drivers?
[06:09] <Viking667> haven't tried those, no.
[06:09] <gaelfx> Viking667: sorry, I was looking at old chat
[06:09] <Viking667> heh.
[06:09] <TBotNik> All: Did anyone look at my bacula job problem?
[06:09] <Viking667> 's weird effect, hearing myself three octaves lower than normal.
[06:09] <Viking667> still, sounds better than donald duck, I suppose.
[06:09] <AnggaDj98> Starminn: it includes memenu, session and application
[06:09] <gaelfx> tass_: in my experience, they work with smplayer, but they won't work in general unless you have an spdif passthrough cable
[06:09] <tass_> spdif>
[06:09] <Starminn> AnggaDj98: I need to restart X?
[06:10] <gaelfx> Viking667: Leonard Cohen>Donald Duck
[06:10] <Dzo> gdku27
[06:10] <dare> dku27
[06:10] <AnggaDj98> Starminn: maybe you dont have to
[06:10] <tass_> the cable works in W7 for aduio xD
[06:10] <gaelfx> tass_: well, then, you probably don't have that.  You have to remember to select the nvidia audio device in pulse, and you will get sound, but there's a good chance it's low quality
[06:10] <Starminn> AnggaDj98: It's not there. :( I'll try restarting X
[06:11] <Danielcg25> Does Ubuntu support SDHC?
[06:11] <Danielcg25> (Secure Digital High Capacity)
[06:11] <TBotNik> Repost to All: Having problem with bacula.  On 9.04 on this box, (upgrade to 9.10 in process now) using WebMin with bacula, got the config working now, but getting job errors and totally ?????.  Can anyone help?  Post on forum @ http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10616413#post10616413
[06:11] <gaelfx> Danielcg25:  should do
[06:11] <joeb_> ayecee: AnggaDj98 i have ports open i need closed .. do i stop the service or just run the firewall ?
[06:11] <AnggaDj98> gaelfx: Hey you still there? I got this command line program e2fsck to check the file systems for bad blocks
[06:11] <TBotNik> All: Correction now on 9.10 after upgrade.
[06:11] <Danielcg25> gaelfx: Well nothing happens when I plug my new card in :(
[06:11] <Danielcg25> But my camera works fine with it
[06:12] <gaelfx> AnggaDj98: still here
[06:12] <AnggaDj98> joeb_: looking for the command wait a sec
[06:12] <Viking667> I'm using the snd_hda_intel module, or so it seems
[06:12] <tass_> HDMI audio dosn't work?
[06:12] <AnggaDj98> gaelfx: e2fsck see the manual page
[06:12] <gaelfx> Danielcg25: well, it's possible that your card reader doesn't support it, but I've never had a problem with mine
[06:12] <XChats> good day!
[06:12] <Danielcg25> hmm.. Probably the reader :(
[06:12] <ayecee> joeb_: stop the service, of course.
[06:12] <Danielcg25> I'll have to buy a new one
[06:13] <Starminn> AnggaDj98: http://imagebin.org/145658
[06:13] <gaelfx> AnggaDj98: wait, why am I shecking e2fsck?
[06:13] <AnggaDj98> gaelfx: to scan bad blocks in your USB drive
[06:13] <TBotNik> All: Error seems to be coming from the "/nonexistant/path/to/file/archive/dir", which I'm guessing is in a config file and needs changing to an actual existing directory.  Am I right?
[06:13] <Dacho> #gdku27
[06:13] <gaelfx> Danielcg25: is there another reader you can try?
[06:13] <Starminn> AnggaDj98: Although complete is now there, I didn't want them together. I separate mine.
[06:13] <gaelfx> AnggaDj98: I think you've got me confused with someone else ;)
[06:14] <Danielcg25> gaelfx: Not on this computer :/
[06:14] <XChats> is their a twitter apps for the command line
[06:14] <AnggaDj98> Starminn: hmm, so you want it to separate and that dialog box showed up?
[06:14] <Danielcg25> (My laptop has a SD slot, not sure if it works with SDHC)
[06:14] <AnggaDj98> XChats: goto #ubuntu-bots and talk to BestBot to see the best twitter app in command line
[06:15] <gaelfx> Danielcg25: hang on, I'll try to look into SDHC stuff
[06:15] <Starminn> AnggaDj98: Dialog showed up on start of Gnome the last two times (before installing complete), and yes, I don't want complete, I just want the power+MeMenu. Not everything together.
[06:15] <Danielcg25> K thanks :)
[06:15] <AnggaDj98> Starminn: then install it one by one
[06:15] <XChats> AnggaDj98: thanks
[06:15] <joeb_> like if i wanted to see all the services running wouldn't i do a sudo service --status-all |grep '+' ?
[06:15] <Starminn> AnggaDj98: Yes, I need to know the package name is what I'm trying to get.
[06:16] <AnggaDj98> Starminn: indicator-applet-session
[06:16] <daniel__> hey gus how do i install firefox back on ?
[06:16] <daniel__> guys*
[06:16] <Starminn> !ffr | daniel__
[06:16] <AnggaDj98> Starminn: or indicator-me and indicator-session separately
[06:17] <Starminn> !ff4 | daniel__
[06:17] <icedtea> anyone know how to reinstall or reconfigure a package?
[06:17] <_syrinx_>  daniel__ sudo apt-get install firefox
[06:17] <AnggaDj98> icedtea: sudo apt-get reinstall <package>
[06:17] <daniel__> how do i delete a program via terminal
[06:18] <Starminn> daniel__ apt-get remove <package>
[06:18] <AnggaDj98> daniel__: use sudo apt-get remove <package>
[06:18] <gaelfx> Danielcg25: yeah, I'm pretty sure it's the reader, how old is the computer?
[06:18] <joeb_> ayecee: how do i konw the service that is running .. i did a nmap and tried to stop the service but no go
[06:18] <sancas> how can i close conver of empathy when i press esc???
[06:19] <AnggaDj98> oh my God I'm so tired supporting people which I'm failing in :(
[06:19] <joeb_> sudo service ipp stop ?
[06:19] <gaelfx> Danielcg25: if it's for a phone, could you plug the card into the phone and the phone into the computer and set it up for mass storage and see if that works?
[06:19] <Danielcg25> It's for my camera, it's a 8GB SD(HC) Card
[06:20] <futka> join #gdku27
[06:20] <Danielcg25> SD is 4GB and under
[06:20] <ayecee> joeb_: if the port is open, the service is running. what port is that?
[06:21] <joeb_> ippt ayecee port 631
[06:21] <rww> futka: stop that.
[06:21] <Starminn> AnggaDj98: That did it, thanks.
[06:21] <Danielcg25> gaelfx: That's a good idea, my camera has a USB let me see if it works
[06:21] <joeb_> ipp             631/tcp                         # Internet Printing Protocol
[06:21] <gaelfx> Danielcg25: can you plug the camera into the computer?
[06:21] <tass_> i have a 8gb sd card on ubuntu right now and i just installed so it's prolly your card reader
[06:21] <gaelfx> Danielcg25: okie doke
[06:21] <dsnyders> Danielcg25, SD cards for cameras are typically formatted using FAT, so there should be no problem accessing the data... if the computer can recognize the card in the first place.
[06:22] <ayecee> joeb_: netstat -anp will show you the process that has the port open
[06:22] <joeb_> ayecee: thanks its cups
[06:23] <Danielcg25> dsnyders: Yes, it's formatted FAT32
[06:23] <joeb_> ayecee: if i do a service cups stop when i reboot will it come back .. how do i stop it from autobooting
[06:23] <Danielcg25> I plugged the camera's USB cord in, its working now
[06:23] <Danielcg25> Card reader probably only supports SD cards and not SDHC cards :/
[06:24] <dsnyders> Danielcg25, do you have a plain SD card to test the reader?
[06:24] <ray24> Hi, anyone know how to get gmail notifier to work on my ubuntu?
[06:25] <Danielcg25> dsnyders: Yes, I just copied photos off a regular SD about 10 minutes ago =P
[06:25] <dsnyders> Danielcg25, Sounds like your diagnosis about SD but not SDHC is spot on then.  Sorry.
[06:27] <Danielcg25> dsnyders: I'll have to "invest" $20 in a new card reader =P
[06:27] <weez> Hi. Does anyone know which config file I need to edit to run a script at startup?
[06:27] <belak> What's the package for gtk headers?

[06:27] <XChats> weez: try the crontab -e
[06:27] <DaPenguin> delinquentme_, exit
[06:27] <belak> delinquentme_: logout or exit
[06:27] <dsnyders> delinquentme_, just type exit
[06:27] <rww> weez: /etc/rc.local
[06:28] <delinquentme_> thanks
[06:28] <weez> rww: thanks
[06:29] <dsnyders> Danielcg25, I presume this is a laptop?  There may be a bios upgrade available from the manufacturer.
[06:31] <TBotNik> All: Looks like I was right.  Found the /nonexistant/path/to/file/archive/dir in the bacula-dir.conf and also the WebMin interface and changed to /data/bacula <my created dir> and now is off working, I think.  At least it did not blow right through and error like before and is off processing something.  I'm monitoring to see if the backup is actually created.

[06:35] <jiltdil> any solution to my problem
[06:35] <XChats> jiltdil: have you try logging out? then login
[06:35] <jiltdil> Xchats:no but why the problem arises
[06:36] <XChats> zarbula try f8
[06:36] <zarbula> Kimmen: Thanks!   Sometimes upgrading the Bios can cause it to report different hardware to the OS.  This isn't usually the case with desktops unless the hardware is built into the motherboard.
[06:39] <Roger__> please dont mind stojkofaceee he's   just an idiot nextdoor
[06:39] <Danielcg25> haha

[06:46] <ActionParsnip> N8Wulf1: the first account you make will definitely be in the admin group, you can add additional users to the admin group if you want to grant them power
[06:46] <ohsix> tass_: run sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh in a terminal
[06:46] <rehan> hey guys

[06:47] <ActionParsnip> !dvd | tass
[06:47] <rehan> i've disabled the regular nouveau drivers for nvidia that came with 10.10 and am instead using nvidia's drivers.  I'm a complete ubuntu noob and am wondering if that is a big problem?
[06:48] <N8Wulf1> oh, I see, someone tried to use my Nick...
[06:48] <MeanEYE> Is there a way to turn on/off letters in keybaord indicator?
[06:48] <tass_> thx
[06:48] <tass_> how do you change the audio out on mplayer or can you just change it in sound properties>
[06:49] <N8Wulf1> anybody see my posts?
[06:49] <Roger__> hey how about that vncviewer download tip
[06:49] <pp7_> hi rehan
[06:49] <Jordan_U> N8Wulf1: No.
[06:49] <rehan> pp7_, hello
[06:49] <pp7_> rehan: i had this problem too :P
[06:49] <IdleOne> Roger__: in Software Center, seach for it and install
[06:49] <Jordan_U> N8Wulf1: The someone trying to use your nick was you. You were disconnected and your client reconnected before your old connection timed out.
[06:49] <rehan> pp7_, oh nice,  know of a fix??
[06:49] <ActionParsnip> rehan: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/
[06:50] <N8Wulf1> oh... lol
[06:50] <N8Wulf1> ok,I don't have any Admin or user questions
[06:50] <tass_> how do you stop xserver?
[06:50] <N8Wulf1> I'm asking pls about a Legacy edition Ubuntu
[06:51] <Roger__> ohh problems whole buntu is in my home language i cant  find it
[06:51] <pp7_> rehan: see http://www.webupd8.org/2010/03/how-to-get-plymouth-working-with-nvidia.html#comment-41037671
[06:51] <ActionParsnip> N8Wulf1: if it's EOL then it's offtopic dude
[06:51] <N8Wulf1> but it seems nobody needs to use Legacy anymore
[06:51] <Jordan_U> N8Wulf1: This channel doesn't support releases of Ubuntu that are no longer supported.
[06:52] <ActionParsnip> N8Wulf1: if you have low end hardware, try Lubuntu
[06:52] <N8Wulf1> ah, thank you
[06:52] <pp7_> rehan: you may need to do this: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer.conf, comment out "blacklist vesafb" and add "blacklist vga16fb"
[06:52] <pp7_> rehan: in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules, add fbcon and vesafb
[06:52] <ActionParsnip> N8Wulf1: or xpud or puppy :-)
[06:53] <pp7_> rehanL add "vga=795" to line "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=..."
[06:53] <N8Wulf1> thanx,will do so
[06:53] <pp7_> then: sudo initramfs-update -u    and    sudo update-grub
[06:54] <blackguard-> hello
[06:55] <blackguard-> anyone can help explain what dev and nodev means with simple english on the fstab file?
[06:55] <blackguard-> i am reading on net for 3 days now and i really cant understand what this 2 options are
[06:55] <rww> yay.
[06:55] <rehan> pp7_, i don't have blacklist vga16fb, only blacklist vesafb
[06:56] <pp7_> rehan: did u read what i said properly?
[06:57] <rehan> pp7_, sorry
[06:57] <pp7_> rehan: :P
[06:57] <tass_> anyone know how to get HDMI audio out to work or should I just go back to windows? xD
[06:58] <pp7_> tass: dont go back to windows :P
[06:58] <tass_> =/
[06:58] <tass_> I can't get it to work xD
[06:58] <Kimmen> tass_: it differs depending on your video card
[06:58] <tass_> geforce 9600MS
[06:58] <tass_> 9600GS*
[06:58] <Kimmen> tass_: run aply -l
[06:58] <Kimmen> aplay -l *
[06:59] <daniel__> hola como estan
[06:59] <rehan> pp7_, if i have 'quiet splash' already in GRUB_CMDLINE
[06:59] <rehan> do i keep it?
[06:59] <blackguard-> anyone can explain in simple english what dev/nodev options in the fstab file does?
[06:59] <pp7_> rehan: hmm lemme check mine...
[06:59] <Kimmen> tass_: "aplay -l" tells you which cards are available for playback
[06:59] <tass_> how do I switch the playback then?
[06:59] <DaPenguin> rehan, that's just personal preference :)
[07:00] <rehan> DaPenguin, what is?
[07:00] <Kimmen> tass_: are you running lucid or maverick? 10.04 or 10.10?
[07:00] <tass_> 10.10
[07:00] <AnggaDj98> !es | daniel__
[07:00] <DaPenguin> rehan, the quiet and splsh lines
[07:00] <pp7_> rehan: yea mine still has "quiet splash"
[07:00] <Kimmen> tass_: run "alsamixer" press F6 and choose the nvidia card
[07:00] <rehan> DaPenguin, oh ok, what do those do?
[07:00] <Kimmen> tass_: then make sure that the ouput isn't muted
[07:00] <rehan> pp7_, so is it "quiet splash vga=795"
[07:01] <pp7_> rehan: yep
[07:01] <DaPenguin> quiet hides most of the bootup messages and splash shows the splash screen
[07:01] <rehan> pp7_, or is there a comma or anything else in between?
[07:01] <tass_> dosn't show up in alsa?
[07:01] <pp7_> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash vga=795"
[07:01] <SiDeC> x
[07:01] <pp7_> that's mine
[07:01] <rehan> pp7_, thanks :)
[07:01] <SiDeC> .lapiz
[07:02] <pp7_> rehan: does it work?
[07:02] <Kimmen> tass_: when you run alsamixer in cli and then press F6, which cards can you choose from?
[07:02] <_marx_> afgh
[07:02] <rehan> pp7_, sudo initramfs-update -u gives me command not found
[07:03] <tass_> Hmm
[07:03] <tass_> on aplay -l it has 3 lists
[07:03] <tass_> when I press F6 it has 2
[07:04] <Kimmen> tass_: which 2?
[07:05] <blackguard-> Someone can explain what dev and nodev options does on the fstab file?
[07:06] <pp7_> rehan: hmm
[07:06] <rehan> pp7_, perhaps i did something wrong?
[07:06] <pp7_> rehan: no
[07:08] <pp7_> rehan: install initranfs through synaptic
[07:08] <pp7_> rehan: *initramfs-tools
[07:08] <rehan> pp7_, ok i got update manager going, i'll do it as soon as it finishes
[07:09] <pp7_> k
[07:10] <pratheep_> now i will upgrad my ubuntu... and waite for long..
[07:10] <sancas> im installed the lyrics screenlet
[07:10] <sancas> but this close for moments
[07:11] <sancas> and what can i dot for it start when i login to my user??
[07:12] <rehan> ok pp7_ , should i mark it for reinstallation? apparently its already installed
[07:12] <pp7_> hmm
[07:12] <pp7_> rehan: it should work if its installed
[07:12] <pp7_> rehan: yea reinstall it
[07:12] <rehan> ok
[07:14] <rehan> pp7_, ok so i type "sudo initramfs-update -u"
[07:14] <rehan> pp7_, and it gives command not found
[07:14] <pp7_> hmm
[07:15] <DaPenguin> it's actuall sudo update-initramfs
[07:15] <pp7_> rehan: ok just do sudo update-grub
[07:15] <CheBuzz> There is a Cannon MX310 that I am trying to print to.  I used to have a file /etc/cups/ppd/Canon-MX310-series.ppd that got deleted when the printer was removed.  Googling doesn't help much.  Anybody know where I can find that file again?
[07:15] <rehan> pp7_, ok do i need to reboot?
[07:16] <Pete_> Hello i have to folders with pad locks on them i can not delete these folders any suggestions?
[07:16] <rehan> pp7_, i did the sudo update-initramfs -u also, it worked
[07:16] <tass_> what's the best movie watching software for ubuntu? =]
[07:17] <rehan> pp7_, but now if i do ctrl-alt-F1 i get a black screen at first, then it turns into a big white shape and starts getting smaller slowly
[07:17] <Pete_> xbmc
[07:17] <DaPenguin> tass_, vlc, hands down imho
[07:17] <weez> tass_: i like vlc
[07:17] <blackguard-> tass: vls is one of the best software, got alot of codecs
[07:17] <weez> Pete_: You probably dont have permission to delete them. Do you know the root password on the machine?
[07:17] <Pete_> yes
[07:17] <jakob_o> #sqlalchemy
[07:18] <pp7_> rehan: not sure if initramfs-update is needed anyway
[07:18] <pp7_> rehan: i'm assuming u did all the other stuff in that guide
[07:18] <tass_> lol that's what i thought just wanted to make sure ubuntu didn't have some secret badass movie player =]
[07:18] <Pete_> when i log in to root sudo su and try to rm the file it say's i can not delete a directory
[07:18] <weez> Pete_: open up a terminal and type 'sudo nautilus'
[07:18] <pp7_> rehan: wow
[07:18] <Pete_> ok
[07:18] <weez> try rm -r
[07:18] <weez> i mean rm -rf
[07:18] <rehan> pp7_, oops, i just did all the changes you told me to. I didn't actually do anything from the link you sent.
[07:19] <pp7_> rehan: did u reboot?
[07:19] <Alfastar> hi
[07:19] <rehan> not yet
[07:19] <pp7_> tass_: xbmc undoubtably :)
[07:19] <weez> Pete_: when you rm the directory in the terminal try using the -r and -f flags (recursive and force)
[07:19] <pp7_> rehan: yep u need to do all of that then reboot
[07:19] <Pete_> ahh  ok
[07:20] <rehan> pp7_, ok just to be clear, the stuff you told me to do, is that in addition to stuff in the link you sent or is it the same thing?
[07:20] <weez> Pete_: be VERY careful when using those flags.
[07:20] <linuxuz3r> whats a good pdf reader that supports annotation highlighting and commenting?

[07:27] <icedtea> is there a core dump of some kind when the linux kernel barfs on boot up? it just reboots with no message or anything
[07:27] <pp7_> rehan: looks like there's a script that does it: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/script-to-fix-ubuntu-plymouth-for.html
[07:28] <long_> ??

[07:37] <Peddy> is there a good way to set up 2 wallpapers for dual monitors yet?
[07:37] <rehan> pp7_, yep, checked it too
[07:37] <Peddy> rehan, I just joined - can you please explain your problem to me? I might have just solved something similar myself
[07:38] <pratheep_> hi who know program use like diskDefragement in window..
[07:39] <rehan> Peddy, if i hit ctrl-alt-f1 my display doesn't show anything. I installed nvidia proprietary drivers and blacklisted nouveau. If I remove nouveau from blacklist then the tty screen works for me but I can't load into ubuntu, just get a black screen on that.
[07:40] <Peddy> rehan, that's cool - could you please post your /etc/default/grub file on pastebin for me?
[07:40] <pp7_> and u did sudo initramfs-update -u then sudo update-grub then rebooted?
[07:40] <Peddy> rehan, does ctrl-alt-f2 etc do the same?
[07:41] <rehan> Peddy, http://pastebin.com/P3LTNkJk
[07:41] <rehan> pp7_, yep, i did sudo update-initramfs -u and also did sudo update-grub, and rebooted

[07:42] <ndxtg> Does anyone here know much about "xset dpms on|off|standby|suspend" ? I need to turn the screen of the server off, but also need to let the processes run in the background, which option is the correct one?
[07:42] <ndxtg> (man page does not help)
[07:42] <pp7_> rehan: why is GRUB_GFXMODE="640x480" commented out??!?
[07:42] <rehan> pp7_, no idea, should i uncomment it?
[07:43] <Peddy> rehan, replace it with this, run update-grub, and please report to me: http://pastebin.com/i3Cmh6uu

[07:48] <jiltdil>  when i open desktop,documents.downloads etc under places suddenly vlc opens i restarted my system but also it dosnot works,please help me?
[07:48] <DaPenguin> Lew, you should see multiple kernel options on grub bootup, anyhting with a (recovery) tag
[07:49] <DaPenguin> Lew, if that boots (which it probably will) the issue is either with GDM (the graphical login manager) or with X in general
[07:50] <ranjan> jiltdil, i have the solution for you. :) thats happening becuase of the default file association problem
[07:50] <jiltdil> ranjan:how to solve this as it happend automatically
[07:51] <ranjan> jiltdil, there is a file in the home folder which lists the default file association. i dont remember the exact file, i am searching for it. just 2 minutes
[07:51] <striding> Hey guys, I accidently deleted my /var/mail/username file, how do I restore it?
[07:51] <jiltdil> ranjana:ok thanx
[07:51] <Lew_> when I do recovery mode it just goes to a lighter black
[07:52] <DaPenguin> Lew, try ctrl alt f1 and see if that brings up a command line
[07:52] <rehan> Peddy, still doesn't work after rebooting, but the grub2 menu is in higher resolution now
[07:53] <Lew_> penguin, in what screen?
[07:53] <DaPenguin> Lew_, the one that's black
[07:54] <cl3tUs> Hi everyone!  I need help making a VM using VBox with a WIM file.

[07:57] <ranjan> amit_, what happened?
[07:58] <DaPenguin> Lew_, hmm
[07:58] <ranjan> jiltdil,hi
[07:58] <ranjan> jiltdil, hi
[07:59] <jiltdil> ranjan:hi
[07:59] <Lew_> @penguin I went thru boot manager, and it said stuff about no init found, try passing init= bootarg
[07:59] <Lew_> dunno if that helps
[07:59] <ranjan> jiltdil, here is your solution. chech whether this file exist in your machine. ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
[08:00] <jiltdil> ok
[08:00] <ranjan> is it there.
[08:00] <Peddy> rehan, i'm here - sorry, had dinner
[08:00] <DaPenguin> Lew_, so it can't find the kernel image
[08:01] <rehan> Peddy, oh no worries. Thank you for sticking with me so far
[08:01] <jiltdil> ranjan:ye it is
[08:01] <Peddy> rehan, did you modify the initram thing and initramfs-update?
[08:01] <ranjan> open it and see
[08:01] <ranjan> jiltdil, open it and see
[08:01] <jiltdil> ok
[08:01] <rehan> Peddy, yep, did all the directions you gave me. Rebooted. Saw high-res grub menu, but tty is still not showing anything
[08:02] <Lew_> Penguin, I dont know... What should I do?
[08:02] <jiltdil> ranjam:it opens but it is blank
[08:02] <ranjan> jiltdil, inode/directory=vlc like something.
[08:02] <Peddy> rehan, that menu was pretty sexy though, right? ^^ okay. At least that's progress. What graphics card do you have?
[08:02] <Lew_> it has 4 boot options, the 2 unbuntu versions and recoverys versions, all of them lead to black screen
[08:02] <jiltdil> ranjan:yes it is seen
[08:02] <rehan> Peddy, haha yea it looked very nice. I have an nvidia 330GT mobile
[08:02] <DaPenguin> !grub | Lew_  >> try this
[08:02] <pp7_> rehan: here's the instructions i recorded for myself: http://pastebin.com/SUYmn57S
[08:03] <DaPenguin> !grub | Lew_
[08:03] <cl3tUs> any pointers?
[08:03] <ranjan> jiltdil, remove that line
[08:03] <cl3tUs> Hi everyone!  I need help making a VM using VBox with a WIM file.
[08:03] <jiltdil> ranjan:inode/directory=vlc.Desktop
[08:03] <ranjan> jiltdil, remove that line
[08:03] <Lew_> how could I loose GRUB when it woked thismorning
[08:03] <ranjan> jiltdil, thats all
[08:03] <rehan> Peddy, pp7_ thank you for that
[08:04] <Peddy> rehan, let's keep trying - i just got it working on my nvidia card.
[08:04] <jiltdil> ranjan:ok i removed but why it is happening
[08:04] <Lew_> at the top it says
[08:04] <DaPenguin> Lew_, probably an issue witha kernel update would be my guess
[08:04] <VanessaE> can someone here help me with a dual-screen XRandR issue?
[08:04] <Peddy> rehan, do you have fbset installed? "sudo apt-get install fbset"
[08:04] <jiltdil> ranjan: and how it atomaticaaly added
[08:04] <Lew_> GNU GRUB version 1.98
[08:04] <rehan> Peddy, sure, I'm on board as long as you are :)
[08:04] <rehan> Peddy, ok, just installed fbset
[08:05] <DaPenguin> Lew_, so you have grub2. follow the recovery instructions for that. should (hopefully) correct the problem
[08:05] <ranjan> jiltdil, sorry, not sure about the root cause.
[08:05] <ranjan> :(
[08:05] <Peddy> rehan, ok, good. Next, we will reinstall everything related to grub2. This actually fixed my problem for the first time. Can you open synaptic? (gksu synaptic)
[08:05] <jiltdil> ranjan:ok thanxalot
[08:05] <ranjan> jiltdil, thank the community
[08:06] <nick_name> hello all!
[08:06] <Peddy> rehan, please note that you should definitely not restart your laptop without grub installed, this will lead to a lot of hassle
[08:06] <rehan> ok Peddy i'm in synaptic
[08:06] <jiltdil> ranjan: especially you :)
[08:07] <jiltdil> ok any one tell me why it is automatically happend?
[08:07] <Lew_> penguin, I dont have disks :(
[08:07] <VanessaE> I would like to keep my two monitors "linked" when I change to a lower resolution, such that together they act as a single screen that can pan around a large virtual screen, instead of each screen having its own independent panning region.
[08:08] <Peddy> rehan, okay - search "grub". tick "grub-pc" and "grub-common" and select "mark for complete removal", then hit apply. DO NOT REBOOT
[08:08] <ranjan> jiltdil, PM?
[08:08] <BajK> if I copy a folder, the hidden folders (starting with a dot) inside it are copied as well?
[08:08] <VanessaE> XRandR can supposedly do this, but I can't make heads nor tails of the stuff I find on the web when I search.
[08:08] <jiltdil> ranjan;PM means
[08:08] <rehan> Peddy, ok, what about regular grub ?
[08:09] <Dacho> #gdku
[08:09] <Peddy> rehan, that should be uninstalled too (just for cleanliness' sake). You can also do that to "grub2", which isn't actually anything
[08:09] <rehan> Peddy, done.
[08:10] <DaPenguin> Lew_, ugh, well, if you can't get the machine to even boot you're going to need one...
[08:10] <Peddy> rehan, okay, open up a terminal. type "cd /etc" then "sudo mv grub.d ~/grub.d.backup"
[08:11] <rehan> Peddy, done
[08:12] <Peddy> rehan, good. Now, can you see if "cat /etc/default/grub" produces any output at all? does that file still exist?
[08:12] <Lew_> Penguin, /dev on /root/dev failed : No such file or directory
[08:12] <pratheep> i want to use cx-freeze teach me please....,
[08:12] <rehan> Peddy, nope, no such file or directory
[08:12] <ranjan> jiltdil, Private Message:)
[08:12] <Lew_> mounting sys on /root/sys failed
[08:12] <Lew_> etc etc

[08:13] <Roger_> what about vncviewer (i might be boring but my teacher says that we need it) i need how to install try console. exm sudo apt-get vncviewer but it asks me for version
[08:13] <atpa8a> hello
[08:13] <Peddy> rehan, great. Now, in synaptic, install "grub-pc" and "grub-common" (although the latter should be selected automatically when you pick the former)
[08:13] <ohsix> nerdshell: character device
[08:14] <nerdshell> ohsix: which means ?
[08:14] <atpa8a> why would i get no console (display goes to sleep) *after* kernel is loaded?
[08:14] <ohsix> there are block and character device nodes, block devices can be mmap'd, character devices just have ioctls and read/write
[08:14] <Lew_> hey ohsix can u help me?
[08:14] <linuxuz3r> whats a good pdf reader that supports annotation highlighting and commenting?
[08:15] <rehan> Peddy, it wants to know where to install grub, on /dev/sda or /dev/sda5 or both
[08:15] <Peddy> rehan, /dev/sda is fine
[08:15] <Lew_> arghhh
[08:15] <rehan> Peddy, done.
[08:16] <Peddy> rehan, now, open /etc/default/grub again in gedit (sudo gedit /etc/default/grub)
[08:16] <Roger_> what about vncviewer (i might be boring but my teacher says that we need it) i need how to install try console. exm sudo apt-get vncviewer but it asks me for version
[08:16] <jasonabc> do ubuntu is slow than xubuntu?

[08:17] <Roger_> yes
[08:17] <Roger_> just a sec
[08:17] <iceroot> !paste | Roger_
[08:18] <Peddy> rehan, okay, in terminal, do "sudo apt-get install hwinfo && sudo sudo hwinfo --framebuffer"
[08:18] <Peddy> rehan, only one sudo in the second part*
[08:18] <Lew_> My screen goes black when I selected ubuntu to boot. In Boot manager it says mounting /dev on /root/dev failed :no such file or directory
[08:18] <Lew_> and /sys /root/sys failed
[08:18] <Lew_> 'etc etc
[08:19] <Dacho> Guys can anyone give me link to the vnc viewer compatible for the edubuntu

[08:19] <rehan> Peddy, done
[08:19] <Peddy> rehan, output of hwinfo?
[08:20] <Lew_> omg...
[08:20] <Lew_> It was working thismorning!
[08:20] <VanessaE> (it ain't often that I see someone get K-lined that quickly.  things sure have changed)
[08:20] <rehan> Peddy, http://pastebin.com/5S3kZ0Pc
[08:21] <Lew_> o well
[08:21] <Peddy> rehan, is gedit still open with the "grub" file? okay, this hwinfo contains very good news
[08:21] <VanessaE> anyone see my xrandr question?
[08:21] <rehan> Peddy, yes its open
[08:22] <Lew_> -,-
[08:22] <Faffel> Hey, I'm having some issues with ipv6... a long time ago I tried to set up an ipv6 tunnel, failed, and thought I deleted everything referencing IPv6 - however, I can't connect to anything IPv6 related and some stuff defaults to trying to connect to ipv6. For instance, using XChat to join Freenode doesn't work because it tries to join using an IPv6 IP that doesn't work
[08:22] <Faffel> I don't have an /etc/networking/interface file to edit, so there's obviously no connection info in there
[08:22] <Faffel> No IPv6 info in my ethernet settings either
[08:23] <Faffel> I also can't get onto HE.net because it tries to connect through IPv6 ;/
[08:23] <Lew_> lol this is hopeless
[08:23] <Peddy> rehan, just a second
[08:23] <rehan> Peddy, sure, thank you
[08:24] <Lew_> pedddy can you have a go at my problem next
[08:25] <sling-shot> Is there any commandline option to get a list of partitions with their lables
[08:25] <Peddy> rehan, replace the contents with this: http://pastebin.com/RFsWYWGG     and then run sudo update-grub, then reboot
[08:26] <fairuz> sling-shot: df -h
[08:26] <fairuz> i think it will give you the info you need
[08:26] <rehan> Peddy, ok, about to reboot
[08:26] <Peddy> rehan, ok, good luck ;)
[08:27] <Lew_> peddy
[08:27] <Lew_> tell me what you think of this okay?
[08:27] <pylix> is there a command for encrypting files?
[08:28] <Peddy> Lew_, I'm not sure about how to fix your problem. Try asking your problem again (but not too often!) and someone with knowledge might help you.
[08:28] <fairuz> pylix: gpg command
[08:28] <Lew_> When I boot ubuntu, screen goies black.. recovery mode does the same thing.
[08:28] <fairuz> pylix:  i think it's something like gpg -c filename
[08:28] <Lew_> boot manager says file system is missing required init
[08:29] <Lew_> try botting init= bootarg
[08:29] <Lew_> booting
[08:29] <Lew_> try passing init=bootarg*
[08:29] <pylix> thx
[08:29] <sling-shot> fairuz: Thanks. It lists the mount points.

[08:32] <osxfr33k> Asus Laptop G51jx I7 Nvidia graphics Ubuntu 10.10 is not working!!!!!!    I get a checkerboard screen and the boot up is slow as malasys.  8GB ram.  So what is the issue with release?
[08:32] <fairuz> but they just give you the dev names
[08:32] <rehan> Peddy, i rebooted and it ended up on tty1 asking for my login, if i hit ctrl-alt-F7 all it showed was "checking battery" and showing parts of the boot up process, but nothing more. Now i'm in recovery mode
[08:33] <osxfr33k> Lighthouse Pup runs flawlessly
[08:33] <Peddy> rehan, do you have a GUI?
[08:34] <rehan> Peddy, yeah, i loaded in low graphics settings
[08:34] <rehan> Peddy, everything is huge but its working
[08:34] <osxfr33k> I am thinking the checkerboard desktop is due to a Graphics issue which 10.10 obviously cannot resolve.  So my question is when will there be a new release for Ubuntu Desktop with hopefully the fixes to these issues
[08:34] <Peddy> rehan, that's alright - edit /etc/default/grub and replace the two lines "1280x1024" with "1920x1080" both times
[08:35] <Peddy> rehan, then run update-grub. If this doesn't work, we'll try a different approach
[08:35] <ashmew2> osxfr33k: are u getting funny bars ?
[08:35] <osxfr33k> yes
[08:35] <ashmew2> was happening to me as well , on a dell laptop with intel graphic built in
[08:35] <osxfr33k> I think the nvidia card is a 480
[08:35] <ashmew2> hmm

[08:38] <benzaldehyde> that's c6h5cho
[08:38] <ashmew2> hmmm u know ur chem :D
[08:38] <rehan> Peddy, ok, did that. should i reboot and see if i can get out of recovery mode?
[08:38] <benzaldehyde> as do you
[08:38] <Peddy> rehan, yep - sudo reboot is enough. Sorry if you know all this already
[08:38] <KillGuta> Is there any way to customize the live CD on Windows?
[08:38] <rams_pandu> how to set up a 64 bit chroot environment in ubuntu10,04
[08:39] <rehan> Peddy, haha no, i don't know anything.  Will reboot, brb.
[08:40] <benzaldehyde> oh, my problem is that i can't use the mouse. i know where the device resides but all attempts at pointing to it in xorg.conf have thus not been abated
[08:40] <osxfr33k> Does anyone have a solution for the asus G51jx Notebook and Ubuntu Desktop Lice CD 10.10 Twilight Zone Bars?

[08:42] <fauxpa> Hey
[08:42] <rehan> Peddy, still just takes me to tty1, asks for login. So i rebooted again and am back in recovery mode.
[08:43] <ashmew2> benzldehyde , ur mouse being detected ?
[08:43] <rehan> Peddy, i'm not sure if there's some command i'm supposed to enter at tty1 after logging in that will load the GUI
[08:43] <rehan> Peddy, so i just reboot, and login via recovery mode, then load it in basic low graphics mode
[08:44] <Peddy> rehan, bizarre. Sorry about all this fussery. Could you verify that /etc/grub.d/ exists by typing "cd /etc/grub.d" then "ls"?
[08:44] <benzaldehyde> it's a wireless usb keyboard with a touchpad integrated. lsusb shoes it as something like device 001 Logitech, Inc.
[08:44] <rehan> peddy, 00_header        10_linux      30_os-prober  41_custom
[08:44] <rehan> 05_debian_theme  20_linux_xen  40_custom     README
[08:44] <KillGuta> How do I integrate a wireless driver into an Ubuntu Live CD?
[08:44] <benzaldehyde> but i know for a fact that event2 and mouse1 interact with the touchpad because i can 'cat' the device and it reacts
[08:44] <ashmew2> by mouse u meant the touchpad of ur wireless logitech keyboard ?
[08:45] <Peddy> rehan, that seems to be fine. Could you pastebin /etc/default/grub please?
[08:45] <rehan> Peddy, yes, one sec. thank you.
[08:45] <benzaldehyde> well yes, that is what i am calling it
[08:45] <LorgonJortle> Hey everyone.

[08:46] <LorgonJortle> My OpenGL app crashes (seg fault at the first OpenGL call) when being debugged with GDB or profiled with Valgrind. It runs perfectly when I execute it normally. Ideas?
[08:46] <rehan> Peddy, i'm not sure if you know but pp7 had me do some file changes also in terms of blacklisting some stuff, that may be messing up what you're doing?
[08:47] <Starminn> I can't seem to resume my GUI workspace. After using virtual terminals, F7 gets stuck on "Checking battery state..." (I'm on a desktop)
[08:47] <LorgonJortle> I've read that it may be my driver... but I've no idea.
[08:47] <pistolenedje> hi
[08:47] <Peddy> rehan, as long as you didn't blacklist the standard nvidia driver, it should be good. OK, can you comment out those 2 lines, Grub_gfxmode, by putting # in front of both of them? Then update-grub and reboot another time
[08:47] <jiltdil> ranjan:?
[08:48] <Peddy> rehan, I just want to get a normal boot working so we can proceed with the next step - using binary drivers from nvidia
[08:48] <rehan> Peddy, i added fbcon and vesafb to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
[08:48] <pistolenedje> irc chat through a commandline.. THIS brings back good old memories!
[08:48] <Peddy> rehan, that won't do any harm, afaik. Did you blacklist anything?
[08:49] <rehan> Peddy, ok. I should tell you i downloaded the driver for my card from nvidia earlier and installed it via tty1. but i may not have done it properly, but after that i was able to get into my GUI at the proper resolution
[08:49] <novitololo> how can I know from which date a process has been running? when doing ps -aux, I just see the hour
[08:50] <Peddy> rehan, excellent - so the "official" driver is already installed?
[08:50] <Rug> What app do most of you use to rip/encode dvd's?  Handbrake?
[08:50] <rehan> Peddy, i blacklisted nouvea by typing "blacklist nouveau and 'options nouveau modeset=0'
[08:50] <rehan> Peddy, yep
[08:50] <ashmew2> novitololo :  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6134/how-do-you-find-the-age-of-a-long-running-linux-process
[08:50] <Peddy> rehan, that's fine. OK, did you remember to uninstall the ubuntu-provided nvidia drivers first (if you installed them in the first place?)
[08:50] <novitololo> appreciate
[08:51] <Peddy> rehan, prior to my helping you, was the normal GUI etc working okay? just ttys that weren't
[08:51] <Peddy> ?
[08:51] <rehan> Peddy, yep, exactly
[08:51] <Maniac`> veronika kisa :D
[08:51] <benzaldehyde> ashmew2: it is this http://www.gearxs.com/gearxs/images/920-000129-REF.jpg
[08:52] <rehan> Peddy, i had uninstalled the nvidia drivers by doing sudo apt-get remove nvidia*
[08:52] <fauxpa> quit
[08:52] <Peddy> rehan, great. Okay, remove those two lines from grub file (remember how to do that?) and update-grub, then reboot
[08:52] <barf> Is there a channel about network and routing?
[08:52] <ashmew2> benzaldehyde: sexy , but wheres the numpad :P
[08:52] <LorgonJortle> My OpenGL app crashes (seg fault at the first OpenGL call) when being debugged with GDB or profiled with Valgrind. It runs perfectly when I execute it normally. Ideas?
[08:53] <rehan> ok peddy, did that, about to reboot. If it ends up at tty1 again, is there any command that i can type to load the GUI or should i just go into recovery again like i've been doing? thank you.
[08:53] <thevishy> my java applet doesnt load 7/10 times  - what could be the reason
[08:53] <Peddy> rehan, you could try "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start" or "startx"
[08:53] <rehan> Peddy, ok cool. brb!
[08:53] <thevishy> i just keep on refreshing
[08:54] <Starminn> I can't seem to resume my GUI workspace. After using virtual terminals, F7 gets stuck on "Checking battery state..." (I'm on a desktop)

[08:56] <novitololo> if I've a simlink to a .sh that I start using ./script.sh start, how do I start it from the symlink ??
[08:56] <rehan> Peddy, tried doing startx when i got to tty1 again. said nvidia kernel can't load
[08:57] <Peddy> rehan, bizarre. That's actually really weird, since we haven't changed anything besides the bootloader. Can you install the nvidia-supplied driver again?
[08:57] <Peddy> rehan, it will just overwrite
[08:58] <benzaldehyde> ashmew2: this is great. my exact problem, reading.
[08:58] <rehan> Peddy, ok, is there a way to quit X? I remember before when i was doing it i kept having a hard time installing it because it kept telling me X is still running
[08:58] <jatt> hi, I just compiled a new kernel I want to add the grub entry for it, I think there is a command to do this automatically?
[08:59] <jatt> the command looks up what is in /boot and then adds the pertinent entries
[08:59] <Peddy> rehan, logout then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop". Or, you could actually do it in recovery mode (drop to root shell) and then do "init 3" and then install it from there.
[08:59] <ohsix> update-initramfs -c -k <version you installed> then update-grub
[08:59] <jatt> do you know the name of this command?
[08:59] <rehan> Peddy, ok, brb :)
[08:59] <jatt> ohsix: thanks this is working

[09:03] <BabyGirl> he cant be mad at me i treat it nice
[09:03] <V01> lol not really
[09:03] <Rug> Poisonfibre: nmap
[09:03] <iceroot> Poisonfibre: nmap, netstat
[09:04] <SarcasMo> Starminn: thx i think I found it
[09:04] <Starminn> SarcasMo: Awesome. :)
[09:04] <BabyGirl> is there any option in bleachbit that could probably cause nautilus to wild up on me :(
[09:04] <rehan> Peddy, ok, i'm back, loaded up fine w/o recovery now after reinstalling the drivers. But tty1 still gives me black screen.
[09:05] <Dazzled1> does anyone know of a unqiue property I could try to read in my program, to verify it's running on the right machine?
[09:05] <Peddy> rehan, ok. Erm, I have no idea where to go from here :/ does tty give blank screen even at low resolutions? My problem was that it gave a blank screen at high resolutions only
[09:05] <Dazzled1> eg a HDD serial number or something
[09:05] <iceroot> Dazzled1: hdparm is giving you that serial
[09:05] <rams_pandu> how to set up a 64 bit chroot environment in ubuntu10,04
[09:05] <iceroot> Dazzled1: or use the hash of a ssh-key
[09:06] <iceroot> rams_pandu: the same as a 32bit environment
[09:06] <pehden> is there a cron editor like the way webmins module is
[09:06] <iceroot> pehden: crontab
[09:06] <Dazzled1> iceroot: the ssh key I could retrieve programmatically (from within a C++ application), but the hdparm requires sudo as well I guess?
[09:06] <rehan> Peddy, yep, i just changed my resolution to 800x600 and tried, still a black screen
[09:06] <Peddy> pehden, I know of a local version (not webserver-based)?
[09:07] <Peddy> rehan, are you running 32 or 64 bit linux?
[09:07] <rams_pandu> iceroot, can I follow the instructions given at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot#References%20and%20further%20information?
[09:07] <pehden> i need a local
[09:07] <rams_pandu> iceroot, I am running a 32 bit ubuntu10.04
[09:07] <Peddy> pehden, try gnome-schedule
[09:07] <bluesmaker> hi i'm a noob trying to get a usb tv card running. went to linuxtv wiki and followed the instructions for my card and i got a problem i don't know how to resolve
[09:07] <SarcasMo> Starminn: I download Kate now
[09:07] <benzaldehyde> ashmew2: E: Couldn't find package Xserver-Xorg-Input-Synaptics
[09:07] <rehan> Peddy, 64
[09:08] <pehden> peddy i like the way addin and viewing a job was in webmin but i dont want to install that local just for cron
[09:08] <arif> help me
[09:08] <pehden> peddy ok
[09:08] <Peddy> pehden, gnome-schedule is a small GUI program that lets you edit cron jobs
[09:08] <pehden> peddy ill check it out
[09:09] <twager> Anyone tell me ..If I install wubi to my wifes win7 lappy and something goes wrong how do I reinstall win7 boot to the mbr ?
[09:09] <SarcasMo> ?
[09:09] <Peddy> rehan, hm... bizarre that the framebuffer works in recovery mode (i assume you get all the text) but not normal mode
[09:09] <pehden> i cant wait for 11.04
[09:09] <Peddy> rehan, do you want to try editing /etc/default/grub, now that we have the driver working? change it to 1280x1024, since your card doesn't support your monitor's native resolution (as we found out in hwinfo)
[09:10] <Starminn> SarcasMo: Why?
[09:10] <SarcasMo> how can you remove games in Ubuntu 10.10
[09:10] <Starminn> !natty > pehden
[09:10] <rehan> Peddy, ok, the GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x1024 ?
[09:10] <Peddy> rehan, that's right, and the payload one - do you still have that there?
[09:10] <shomon> SarcasMo, I think go to applications -> software centre
[09:10] <Starminn> SarcasMo: Applications->Ubuntu Software Center, pick the game, hit "Remove"
[09:10] <rehan> Peddy, yep, will do that too
[09:10] <novitololo> I've a symlink that points to a bash script.  How can I start/stop that script using the symlink?
[09:11] <pehden> lol wtf
[09:11] <linuxuz3r> whats a good pdf reader that supports annotation highlighting and commenting?
[09:11] <linuxuz3r> fml
[09:11] <rehan> Peddy, ok, i did update-grub
[09:11] <shomon> I'm writing a script that is really resource intensive. How do I kill it after a set number of seconds?
[09:11] <shomon> it's sh, or could be bash...
[09:11] <Peddy> rehan, it's super unlikely that this will cause your driver to stop working again. I don't know what happened last time
[09:11] <Peddy> rehan, reboot away!
[09:11] <rehan> Peddy, thanks!
[09:11] <ferengee> novitololo, just as jou would a normal script
[09:12] <shomon> http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/068 I'm using this page to figure it out, but I wasn't sure what ubuntu has by way of "timeout" equivalent?
[09:12] <bluesmaker> my card is listed in the em28xx as card=63, but i dont know how to actually get it to be card 63, in dmesg comes as card=0
[09:13] <pehden> peddy where did it install to?
[09:13] <pehden> pedddy nvm
[09:13] <Peddy> pehden, applications>system tools>scheduled tasks
[09:13] <Peddy> XD
[09:13] <Lew> My laptop wont boot, it just goes to black screen when I choose to boot ubuntu on GNU GRUB 1.98
[09:13] <bluesmaker> it says "You may try to use card=<n> insmod option to workaround that." but i don't know how to do that
[09:14] <novitololo> ferengee: I've tried doing ./symlink_to_sh and is not working, even though doing ./script, works.
[09:14] <rehan> Peddy, loaded fine, but still no tty :-/
[09:14] <V01> linuxuz3r, i guess pdfstudio  should sort off your issues
[09:14] <madmn> is there a safe way to install ubuntu on a windows 7 machine as a shared thing
[09:14] <madmn> so i can use both
[09:14] <fairuz> madmn: you can use virtual box
[09:15] <Peddy> rehan, try changing this: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="video=LVDS-1:d"
[09:15] <Peddy> rehan, it's up the top
[09:15] <madmn> do you know where i can get virtual box from
[09:15] <V01> linuxuz3r, try pdfedit  too if  you want
[09:15] <Lew> My laptop wont boot, it just goes to black screen when I choose to boot ubuntu on GNU GRUB 1.98 -  Mount: Mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: No such file or directory Mount: mounting /sys on /root/sys failed Mount: mounting /proc on /root/proc failed Target file system doesnt have requested /sbin/init. No init found. try passing init= bootarg.
[09:15] <fairuz> madmm: search in google for that
[09:15] <Lew> Last part is from boot manager
[09:15] <fairuz> you just need to install the virtual box. Get ubuntu iso then install it from there in the virtual box
[09:16] <ferengee> novitololo, check with ls -la if your symlink is valid for your current path
[09:16] <ferengee> novitololo, you could be using a relative link
[09:16] <novitololo> it's a symlink from init.d
[09:16] <rehan> Peddy, ok, update-grub and reboot?
[09:16] <bluesmaker> hello, i need some help on setting up a tv card, allmost got it but got stuck
[09:17] <mreow> harro :3
[09:17] <ferengee> novitololo,  init.d or /etc/init.d
[09:17] <novitololo> sorry, /etc/init.d
[09:17] <mreow> i just installed ubuntu! it's magical :D
[09:17] <BabyGirl> hey guys,,when i start my pc nautilus take about 200 MB and cpu 98%
[09:17] <BabyGirl> is on now
[09:17] <fairuz> mreow: good :D
[09:17] <mreow> windows takes 5 mins to restart
[09:17] <mreow> ubuntu did it in 10 seconds
[09:17] <mreow> D:
[09:18] <Peddy> rehan, yep! you're learning. (;
[09:18] <novitololo> ferengee: I'm thinking about using insserv symlinkID, to make sure it's enabled.
[09:18] <mreow> i can't believe they're on the same computer D:
[09:18] <hkopiy> fuck
[09:18] <mreow> well, on to business :]
[09:18] <Lew> no oen can help?
[09:18] <mreow> can anyone point me to a direction which i can start learning command lines and basic server skills for unix systems?
[09:18] <bluesmaker> ubuntu starts in 10sec. it is amazing i feel like i'm starting a calculator, switch boom desktop
[09:19] <fairuz> mreow: you can find a lot of it in google. but for practical commands, look at this http://www.pixelbeat.org/cmdline.html
[09:19] <mreow> yeah, i know blues! :D
[09:19] <mreow> thank you, fairuz! :D
[09:19] <bluesmaker> it rocks
[09:19] <lixinfish> hello, I try to create a raid1 on 2 disk. and I want to raid entire 2 disk ,can I use command as "sudo mdadm --create /dev/md0 --bitmap=internal --level=mirror --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda /dev/sdb" without /dev/sd[ab]1 ?
[09:19] <et_> is there anyway I can disable the window resize action when the title bar is dragged down??
[09:20] <Lew> fairuz
[09:20] <Lew> can u help me?
[09:20] <BabyGirl> is there a way to restore nautilus settings to defaults ??
[09:20] <fairuz> Lew: with?
[09:20] <soreau> et_: You mean a maximized window?
[09:20] <Lew> when I boot unbuntu from boot list, screen goes black'
[09:20] <et_> s..
[09:20] <rehan> Peddy, no change :-(
[09:20] <BabyGirl> is wilding on me at star up
[09:20] <Lew> recovery mode does the same
[09:20] <ferengee> novitololo, i use insserv insserv only for rearanging the init links using the overrides. I have no experience with  symlinkID
[09:20] <et_> soreau: yes
[09:20] <soreau> et_: If you use compiz, then yes
[09:20] <Lew> this is what u see in boot manager  Mount: Mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: No such file or directory Mount: mounting /sys on /root/sys failed Mount: mounting /proc on /root/proc failed Target file system doesnt have requested /sbin/init. No init found. try passing init= bootarg.
[09:20] <bluesmaker> any1 knows something about tv cards?
[09:21] <soreau> et_: Disable snapoff maximized windows in ccsm>move window
[09:21] <linuxuz3r> bluesmaker, i do
[09:21] <et_> soreau: No but I am trying to create  a kiosk with ff running
[09:21] <et_> soreau: so i installed server version and installed gdm and ff on it
[09:21] <fairuz> Lew: Do you have init in your /sbin folder?
[09:21] <YankDownUnder> BabyGirl, You can always delete the ~/.nautilus directory (or rename it) and try again.
[09:21] <Peddy> rehan, have you ever tried the ubuntu-provided nvidia drivers? how did they work for you?
[09:21] <et_> soreau: I'm guessing I don't have compiz installed.
[09:21] <soreau> et_: I guess you are running metaicty then
[09:21] <soreau> et_: There might be a gconf option, lets see..
[09:22] <bluesmaker> linuxuz3r:  wet to linuxtv followed instructions and got to a point i don't understand
[09:22] <rehan> Peddy, they kept cutting off the right side of my screen somewhat to the point where I couldn't see the power down icon or its menu in the status bar
[09:22] <linuxuz3r> bluesmaker, not on linux
[09:22] <et_> soreau: Gconf is what I'm looking for. /apps/metacity/...
[09:22] <BabyGirl> YankDownUnder:)  ok i try,,,is that at home and  Ctrl-H
[09:22] <linuxuz3r> sorry
[09:22] <et_> soreau: I see nothing there yet..
[09:22] <bluesmaker> linuxuz3r:  :) ok
[09:22] <YankDownUnder> To force compiz => (ALT+F2) => compiz --replace
[09:22] <linuxuz3r> ;)
[09:23] <YankDownUnder> BabyGirl, It's best to do so from a terminal
[09:23] <Lew> Fair, it worked this morning'
[09:23] <Peddy> rehan, your laptop brand/model?
[09:23] <Lew> and all of the sudden I cant boot
[09:23] <BabyGirl> YankDownUnder:) well gor you buddy
[09:23] <bluesmaker> linuxuz3r: then i'm a bit like u:P
[09:23] <rehan> Peddy, Sony Vaio , model VPCF115FM
[09:23] <et_> soreau: oops. It does not unmaximise when I drag it. The window simply moves
[09:23] <Danielcg25> Sony Vaio = Fail.
[09:24] <Peddy> rehan, do you have an external monitor you can connect handy?
[09:24] <et_> soreau: it'd be great if there was an option of locking the position and keeping the window maximised..
[09:24] <Danielcg25> I've had many Sony products and they all are piles of fail,
[09:24] <rehan> Peddy, just my TV, via HDMI
[09:24] <ferengee> novitololo, but never the less, if your script is +x and your symlink is an absolute path to the script. the script should be executable. even if the link exists on a noexec mounted directory
[09:24] <bluesmaker> any one knows how to use insmod comand?
[09:24] <soreau> et_: You can do all of that with compiz move plugin
[09:24] <Peddy> rehan, might as well give that a try. Apparently there is a problem with some Vaios' LCD not functioning
[09:25] <Lew> any ideas fair'
[09:25] <YankDownUnder> bluesmaker, You don't have to anymore - just use modprobe instead.
[09:25] <et_> soreau: metacity?
[09:25] <Peddy> rehan, could you try one thing before that?
[09:25] <soreau> et_: compiz
[09:25] <fairuz> Lew: I think you screwed up your filesystem. Try to repair it with fsck
[09:25] <Peddy> rehan, what is the CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line right now?
[09:25] <fairuz> or something similar :D
[09:25] <BabyGirl> YankDownUnder:) tha las move i made was use bleachbit and when reboot it star taking CPU like crazy look = http://imagebin.org/145677
[09:25] <Lew> fsck?
[09:26] <bluesmaker> YankDownUnder: ok, but i don't know how to
[09:26] <soreau> ! fsck | Lew
[09:26] <rehan> Peddy, video=LVDS-1:d
[09:26] <et_> soreau: Any idea how expensive will installing compiz be in terms of space occupied on hard disk?
[09:26] <YankDownUnder> BabyGirl, Um...really no reason to use Bleachbit...ya might want to get rid of it (always just trouble with that ya know - and this ain't MS Windows)
[09:27] <YankDownUnder> bluesmaker, In a terminal, type "sudo modprobe name-of-module-you-want-to-insert"
[09:27] <soreau> et_: Its more a concern of getting 3D working. What is the output of glxinfo|grep renderer? (after installing mesa-utils)
[09:27] <fairuz> Lew: Or you can just use a Live CD to boot
[09:27] <Peddy> rehan, change that to nomodeselect
[09:27] <bluesmaker> YankDownUnder: i need to modify the em28xx driver to read my card as 63 instead o 0,
[09:27] <fairuz> Lew: then mount your disk. Then copy init file from live cd to your /sbin/
[09:27] <Lew> do I do that command from boot manager cmd
[09:27] <trick> hey
[09:27] <fairuz> Do you have Live CD?
[09:27] <rehan> Peddy, ok, will reboot
[09:27] <soreau> Peddy: Dont you mean nomodeset ?
[09:28] <Lew> Na, no CD
[09:28] <trick> how do i transfer files into my virtual box windows installation ?
[09:28] <rehan> ooh should i change it peddy?
[09:28] <YankDownUnder> bluesmaker, If that's the case, then you should look into your /etc/modprobe.d/ directory, check the .conf files for the driver and how it's loading. Heaps of info on that in the forums.
[09:28] <Peddy> rehan, o.o yes, soreau is correct. Remember to update-grub
[09:28] <Peddy>  thanks soreau :3
[09:28] <rehan> Peddy, ok updated grub, rebooting
[09:28] <soreau> Peddy: No problem :)
[09:28] <fairuz> boot a working ubuntu from Live CD. Then Mount your disk (that have current filesystem). Then copy init from Live CD to /sbin/init of corrupted system
[09:28] <et_> soreau: I am trying to keep it as minimal as I can :)
[09:28] <fairuz> Lew: Download it then :D
[09:29] <soreau> et_: You can make compiz as heavy or as light as you want. Compiz itself doesnt pull in much
[09:29] <trick> how do i transfer files into my virtual box windows installation ?
[09:29] <et_> soreau: Ok.  :D
[09:30] <soreau> et_: Cool then you are all set
[09:30] <trick> soreau: ok sorry LOL LOL
[09:30] <YankDownUnder> bluesmaker, Peace mon.
[09:30] <et_> soreau: What does the output mean?
[09:30] <rehan_> Peddy, no luck :-/
[09:30] <soreau> et_: Just apt-get install compiz compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-fusion-plugins-extra
[09:30] <fairuz> Lew: maybe 600MB?
[09:30] <Lew> fairuz, link to LiveCD?
[09:30] <soreau> et_: It means you have working 3D with intel drivers
[09:31] <Lew> lol
[09:31] <Lew> will that command fix it too?
[09:31] <fairuz> http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download
[09:31] <trick> fairuz: how do i create a shared folder
[09:31] <Peddy> rehan_, damn it :/ it seems to be a common problem with vaios, as well as nvidia mobile chipsets >.>
[09:31] <et_> soreau: Oh. Ok cool. I'll give it a shot..
[09:31] <et_> soreau: Thank you so much ! :0
[09:31] <fairuz> Lew: I think your problem is just a missing init from /sbin
[09:31] <fairuz> Try what I suggest and see what happens
[09:31] <rehan_> Peddy, yea, people have been able to get it fixed but i'm not sure how. How big of a problem is it if this does not work for me? Is the tty screen used much in ubuntu?
[09:31] <Lew> only way to fix is the CD?
[09:32] <osxfr33k> Ah for my Extreme Tech Support Question:  IS the Dell 1505N Wireless Mini PCI-e card supported in LHP 5.03G?  I was unable to find a driver from the list
[09:32] <bluesmaker> YankDownUnder: i think i know what the problem is!! the file doesn't have the .comf extention how can i rename it?
[09:32] <osxfr33k> yikes
[09:32] <fairuz> trick: take a look at your virtual box options, and see if there is such option
[09:32] <SarcasMo> how can i delete stuff on Ubuntu 10.10
[09:32] <SarcasMo> ?
[09:32] <Peddy> rehan_, it won't be absolutely necessary if you still have access to recovery console - it's more of a power-user thing. Althought it would be nice to have
[09:32] <fairuz> Lew: maybe it's not the only way, but it's the way that I would go
[09:32] <YankDownUnder> bluesmaker, Can you tell me what you're looking at?
[09:32] <iceroot> SarcasMo: delete what?
[09:32] <jiltdil> how to port scan with nmap vai terminal?
[09:32] <SarcasMo> games for instance
[09:32] <iceroot> jiltdil: nmap hostname
[09:32] <rehan_> Peddy, if i get rid of my disable-nouveau.conf file, then tty works...is there any way to keep nouveau for tty and nvidia for the gui?
[09:33] <jiltdil> iceroot:any switches
[09:33] <YankDownUnder> jiltdil, man nmap
[09:33] <iceroot> jiltdil: nmap -p portnumber hostanme for a specific port
[09:33] <Peddy> rehan_, are you saying that noveau loads when you remove it from the blacklist?
[09:33] <jiltdil> iceroor: i want to port can of a certian up
[09:33] <jiltdil> sorry ip
[09:34] <jiltdil> iceroot: i want to port scan of a  ip
[09:34] <rehan_> Peddy, let me check, i will get rid of my disable noveau file
[09:34] <rehan_> will reboot and brb.
[09:34] <bluesmaker> YankDownUnder: im in  etc/modprobe.d looking at a file named em28xx   it doesn't have the .conf extension and that's the warning i get when i try to use modprobe "WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/em28xx, it will be ignored in a future release."
 I'm not asking you to reinstall Ubuntu
[09:36] <fairuz> Lew: Don't reinstall Ubuntu
[09:36] <fairuz> Lew: just boot from the CD
[09:36] <fairuz> __boot_____
[09:37] <SarcasMo> where can i find programms i installed through Ubuntu software center?
[09:37] <fairuz> then you will have a working ubuntu from the CD
[09:37] <SarcasMo> I just installed kate and i want to use it
[09:37] <SarcasMo> but i cant find it
[09:37] <fairuz> then just mount your old ubuntu and put init from CD to your old ubuntu /sbin
[09:37] <YankDownUnder> SarcasMo, It'll be in your menus....however, sometimes you'll have to refresh the menus by logging out and logging in again.
[09:37] <fairuz> then throw the CD away and boot your system
[09:37] <Dannyd> hi where can i find help to use my HTC wildfire?..it runs android eclair
[09:38] <meuuijga> is there anyone here with anyyy video card overclocking experience?
[09:38] <SarcasMo> YankDownUnder: ty ill try
[09:38] <Peddy> Dannyd, try #android
[09:38] <Dannyd> how do i register?
[09:38] <Dannyd>  Peddy:
[09:38] <rehan> Peddy, after I change /etc/modprobe.d/disable-nouveau.conf , do i need to run anything like sudo update-grub for those changes to take effect?
[09:39] <Lunatyko> Oh, it was a long time away from irc
[09:39] <Lunatyko> Good to see people in it again
[09:39] <AdvoWork> hi. got a bit of a query regarding a theme problem.latest version of ubuntu, and using the default theme, initially the clock didnt count/change at all. Changed this to ambiance theme(time then updates) but today turned on the PC, time was missing completely and the username is discared a little. I change to the clearlooks/default theme and right away back to the ambiance one and all is ok again. Any ideas please?
[09:39] <Peddy> rehan, I'm not sure :/ I doubt it, but you could try update-initramfs -u
[09:40] <Peddy> rehan, could you pastebin the contents of /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer please?
[09:40] <shomon> how do I get somethign to stop after x amount of seconds?
[09:40] <rehan> Peddy, sure
[09:40] <meuuijga> more specifically, does anyone use nvclock or CoolBits for overclocking nvidia cards?
[09:41] <rehan> Peddy, http://pastebin.com/ktDavjsu
[09:41] <Peddy> meuuijga, I have had success with coolbits in the past
[09:41] <meuuijga> hey peddy, thanks. whenever i try to change the settings and click apply, the sliders go back to the default settings. ever happened to you?
[09:41] <fisix> hey, is conky supposed to cover your icons?
[09:41] <rehan> Peddy, thank you for sticking with me for so long.
[09:42] <Peddy> rehan, we may be onto something - comment out (put # in front of) "blacklist vesafb" please?
[09:42] <SarcasMo> it worked
[09:42] <SarcasMo> whoohoo
[09:42] <KillGuta> I'm stuck at the installation, I can't type anything at the login info part
[09:42] <Dazzled1> hmm, I don't think my program has sufficient permissions to read out the HDD serial
[09:42] <rehan> Peddy, it already has a # in front of it
[09:42] <Peddy> rehan, not a problem - the success will be worth it.
[09:42] <KillGuta> Actually, I can't click pretty much anything besides selecing some text
[09:42] <Peddy> rehan, that's fine. Does anything else have # in front of it/
[09:42] <Peddy> ?
[09:43] <rehan> Peddy, no but i added blacklist vga16fb myself
[09:43] <Peddy> rehan, okay. Could you open /etc/initramfs-tools/modules? is there anything uncommented?
[09:43] <Dazzled1> are there other options I could pursue? like, giving a program root access, or would this be a capital sin?
[09:44] <rehan> Peddy, fbcon and vesafb are in there on separate lines, uncommented
[09:47] <SarcasMo> by coincidence, does anyone know wich plugin to install for Kate if i want a python interpreter
[09:47] <Peddy> rehan, bizarre. I'm researching some more :/ out of interest, could you add "splash" after "quiet" in your grub file, then update-grub and reboot? separate splash and quiet with a single space.
[09:48] <rehan> Peddy, ok
[09:48] <Peddy> rehan, additionally, comment out both GFX lines with a #
[09:48] <Lew> thanks fairuz and peddy for your time
[09:48] <rehan> Peddy, ok
[09:48] <Dazzled1> can anyone tell me how "bad" it would be to call sudo from within c++ and providing its password by echo?
[09:48] <rehan> Peddy, should i keep nomodeset ?
[09:48] <Peddy> Lew, hope you get your problem sorted out sometime.
[09:49] <Peddy> rehan, you can get rid of it now
[09:49] <rehan> ok
[09:49] <rehan> Peddy, ok rebooting, brb
[09:51] <NET||abuse> hi guys. i'm trying to mirror a page on a site, it's http://www.todayfm.com/Shows.aspx  -> how to turn this into html and have the design work?
[09:51] <NET||abuse> wget -r -l 1  isn't getting it right for me
[09:52] <YankDownUnder> NET||abuse, Um...right channel to ask that?
[09:52] <NET||abuse> not sure,
[09:52] <NET||abuse> it's a linux tool in general. :)
[09:52] <YankDownUnder> Mmmm...yeah...true this...
[09:52] <YankDownUnder> NET||abuse, I'll then safely assume that you've read the man pages on wget?
[09:53] <NET||abuse> yes, as much as i can fit in my brain at one time.
[09:53] <NET||abuse> it's quite extensive
[09:53] <YankDownUnder> It should be simply: wget http://www.todayfm.com/Shows.aspx
[09:54] <rcconf> hi
[09:54] <meuuijga> Peddy, was that a no then?
[09:54] <YankDownUnder> NET||abuse, I just downloaded it...simply...
[09:54] <meuuijga> sorry i know you're busy
[09:54] <rcconf> does CPU frequency scaling work in ubuntu?
[09:54] <NET||abuse> YankDownUnder, what command?
[09:54] <Peddy> meuuijga, excuse me?
[09:55] <david> I need help with Prism 2.5 wireless driver!
[09:55] <YankDownUnder> NET||abuse, Quite simply this: wget http://www.todayfm.com/Shows.aspx => that downloads the file...
[09:55] <Peddy> meuuijga, sorry, I missed your chat. Try running nvidia-settings as root. alt-f2 then "gksu nvidia-settings"
[09:55] <NET||abuse> YankDownUnder, then try visit that local file on your webbrowser
[09:56] <NET||abuse> YankDownUnder, i want to mirror the page and it's assets.
[09:56] <rehan> Peddy, no luck :(
[09:56] <YankDownUnder> NET||abuse, THAT, my friend, is something that you'll have to work out - using either a script or otherwise...like a script running as a cron job...
[09:56] <meuuijga> Peddy, all i said was when i try to hit "apply" using coolbits, the slider bars won't stay and go back to the default settings. wondered if you had any experience with that.
[09:56] <katmandoudou> Hi, has anyone here already installed JBoss AS 6 as service on Ubuntu ?
[09:57] <ejv> hi all, ordered new 2TB drives, that use the 4K format, how do I partition them correctly for optimal performance?
[09:57] <Peddy> meuuijga, sorry, I missed your chat. Try running nvidia-settings as root. alt-f2 then "gksu nvidia-settings" then setting it - does it save?
[09:57] <Lew> peddy, if I put ubuntu ISO on USB, I can boot it from that right?
[09:57] <rcconf> !scaling
[09:57] <katmandoudou> I get exceptions when I run sudo service jboss stop
[09:57] <Peddy> Lew, you can't just stick the iso there - you have to use unetbootin or another tool to "extract" it to the USB
[09:57] <katmandoudou> http://pastebin.com/y0at57Mv
[09:57] <meuuijga> give me just a minute, it's on my other box. i'll try it :)
[09:57] <Peddy> rehan, darn! how important is tty access to you? I know it's nice to have working, but it's becoming very hacky to get working
[09:58] <ohsix> ejv: the tools that can do partitioning have all pretty much been updated for proper alignment, use gparted and you should be ok
[09:58] <Lew> peddy, is that simple enough?
[09:58] <Peddy> rehan, did the Ubuntu logo appear?
[09:58] <Guest67789> Please help me with my Prism 2.5 wirels!ess driver. I need wireles
[09:58] <Peddy> Lew, it's a very simple task. What OS does the computer you're on right now have? ubuntu?
[09:58] <ejv> ohsix: gparted is gui based, does parted work?
[09:58] <ohsix> ejv: i presume so, they use the same backend
[09:58] <Lew> Yeah ubuntu
[09:58] <Lew> oh right now
[09:58] <rehan> Peddy, yes it did
[09:59] <Lew> windows XP
[09:59] <rehan> Peddy, i don't know anything about ubuntu so its not even really important to me. I was just hoping if i could find a fix i wouldn't be stuck later on if it was needed for something
[10:00] <et_> I need all windows on Ubuntu to start in maximized mode. Can this be done using gconf?
[10:00] <SarcasMo> how can i delete programs with the terminal?
[10:00] <rcconf> SarcasMo: sudo apt-get remove <program>
[10:00] <Peddy> rehan, to tell the truth, it's rarely used - recovery mode provides everything you need. I use TTYs mainly for restarting or killing programs when they become unresponsive. With the coming 11.04 update, your problem may well be fixed in a new version of X.
[10:00] <Jordan_U> Lew: Follow the directions at http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download .
[10:01] <rcconf> SarcasMo: you can also purge other packages and configs with apt-get purge <program>
[10:01] <ohsix> et_: it can be done with maximus, or devilspie
[10:01] <SarcasMo> rcconf: can i do that from root?
[10:01] <rcconf> SarcasMo: if you are root you dont need "sudo"
[10:01] <rehan> Peddy, i see. Hmm well you know, maybe I will do a fresh install since i haven't installed anything yet, download the nvidia drivers again and give it another shot.
[10:01] <et_> ohsix: But my objective is to create a very minimal system with only FF running in maximized mode. A kiosk in essence.
[10:01] <rcconf> SarcasMo: it's dangerous to run as sudo
[10:02] <SarcasMo> rcconf: oops
[10:02] <Lew> oh thanks jordan, should have seen that
[10:02] <rcconf> oops
[10:02] <Peddy> Lew, System>administration>startup disk creator
[10:02] <ohsix> et_: then don't run a window manager and pass -geometry to firefox
[10:02] <rcconf> SarcasMo: not sudo root
[10:02] <rcconf> :P
[10:02] <Jordan_U> Lew: You're welcome.
[10:02] <Peddy> !highlight
[10:02] <rehan> Peddy, thank you for all of your help. I do have one last question if you don't mind.
[10:02] <SarcasMo> rcconf: it cannot find Kate (the program i want to delete)
[10:02] <et_> ohsix: Any pointers to a tutorial on that geometry param?
[10:02] <Lew> Wait, which way? Peddys or yours?
[10:02] <Peddy> rehan, fresh install would be a great idea. I'm doing so myself. I would recommend the ubuntu-supported drivers, once they're available
[10:02] <Lost1> anyone know why ubuntu is erasing my media files? .... it downloads to the directory fine, then a few days later I go to see the files, and they are gone....
[10:02] <SarcasMo> rehan: E: Unable to locate package Kate
[10:02] <rcconf> SarcasMo: apt-cache search kate
[10:03] <soreau> et_: Yea, if you have no wm, and manage to get the window positioned correctly (and you do not need any other windows at all) then you might be able to get away with that
[10:03] <Peddy> rehan, shoot! haha, any question will be easy compared to getting ttys to work (;
[10:03] <soreau> et_: Did you try compiz?
[10:03] <candyban> rcconf, (not that I recommend running anything as root to a novice, but ....) what is wrong with sudo -i (or sudo root)
[10:03] <et_> ohsix: Can that be done to any window? For e.g. Citrix ICA Client?
[10:03] <rcconf> SarcasMo: it's kate not "Kate"
[10:03] <SarcasMo> rgr
[10:03] <ohsix> et_: if it's an X program, yes ;]
[10:03] <et_> ohsix: Thanks
[10:03] <rehan> Peddy, how can I change where my home directories link to? I like the icons and pictures on the home folders (docs,pics,videos,music,etc) but just want them to open up a different directory when i click on them
[10:03] <rcconf> candyban: nothing if he knows what hes doing
[10:03] <Peddy> Lew, those directions point to my method
[10:04] <et_> soreau: not yet. No..
[10:04] <SarcasMo> rcconf:  it says : E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[10:04] <rcconf> SarcasMo: close synaptic manager or software center
[10:04]  * benzaldehyde passionately embraces ashmew2. you magnificent nerd pile :) it worked! hurray!
[10:04] <candyban> rcconf, running as root or putting sudo in front of your command are identically dangerous ...
[10:04] <rcconf> candyban: yes
[10:04] <rcconf> candyban: you are right
[10:04] <Peddy> rehan, could you give me an example? Like, you want "pictures" to link to a folder titled "Images" instead?
[10:04] <rehan> Peddy, could i have those directories link to my "My Docs" or "My Pics" folders on my win7 ntfs partition if i use ntfs-3G
[10:04] <Lew> alright many thanks
[10:05] <candyban> btw. What is ubuntu the default password for root? (like the password it asks when it finds inconsistencies in the root partition)
[10:05] <et_> soreau: I tried doing that in another system. Gconf -> /apps/compiz/plugins/move/allscreens/options/snapoff_maximized --> helps !! :)
[10:05] <rehan> Peddy, i was thinking i'd have my ntfs partition auto-mount on startup, and then have those directories link to their windows counterpart folders
[10:05] <SarcasMo> rcconf: how do you close synaptic manager? or software center. there both not in my desktop
[10:05] <meuuijga> Peddy, hm that's interesting. it's saying my password for root is wrong, but really one was never set up
[10:05] <ohsix> candyban: the default is random
[10:05] <YankDownUnder> candyban, Ain't one. You have to make one, if you REALLY need to...
[10:05] <pumeust> if i use photorec to recover data from 'whole disk',  that means i already got all the data and dont need to bother with searching partitions, right?
[10:05] <ohsix> !root | candyban
[10:06] <soreau> et_: Thats just a more complicated way to do it, as opposed to the more friendly ccsm way
[10:06] <Peddy> meuuijga, you enter your normal user password
[10:06] <Peddy> rehan, just a sec (:
[10:06] <rehan> Peddy, thanks
[10:06] <meuuijga> Peddy, tried that =\
[10:06] <et_> soreau: I realized.
[10:06] <rcconf> SarcasMo: some program related with package managing is running..
[10:06] <Peddy> meuuijga, bizarre. Try "sudo nvidia-settings" from a terminal
[10:06] <candyban> ohsix, how does sudo help when the system cannot boot and asks for the root password (or Ctrl-D to continue ... which it can't since the root partition has issues)
[10:06] <Peddy> rehan, I know how to do it, but keeping the icons is different. So i'm experimenting
[10:07] <et_> soreau: But without compiz, the window just *moves* rather than snap off and unmaximize.. !!
[10:07] <rehan> Peddy, sweet. yeah i know its silly but i like those icons :-P
[10:07] <ohsix> candyban: it doesn't, hurr
[10:07] <Peddy> rehan, I know, I'm the same (: do "gedit ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs "
[10:07] <Peddy> rehan, there you can type in the paths of your ntfs hdd. Do you know how to find the paths of the respective folders//
[10:08] <meuuijga> Peddy,  ok, did that, GUI popped up. i'm able to change the fan settings but not the clock speed
[10:08] <ohsix> i must have missed something, single user mode doesn't ask for a password; you can also use init=/bin/bash on the kernel commandline
[10:08] <candyban> ohsix, so so why did you let the bot believe me that sudo isthe answer
[10:08] <soreau> et_: compiz can do everything you are wanting
[10:08] <ohsix> candyban: dogma
[10:08] <ejv> ohsix:  1      2048s<PHONE_NUMBER>s<PHONE_NUMBER>s               primary
[10:08] <Peddy> meuuijga, bizarre. This is coolbits, correct? how did you enable coolbit?
[10:08] <basil_kurian_> I have one strange problem when nginx is used as a reverse proxy for apache. Nginx sometimes give "bad gateway error"
[10:08] <candyban> Is there another way to get into single user mode (like when I said it fsck cannot correct the problem automatically)
[10:08] <pumeust> if i recover data from 'whole disk', am i finished or could there still be data in hidden partitions?
[10:08] <ejv> ohsix: looks like the first sector is on 2048s, which i believe is proper alignment
[10:09] <ohsix> ejv: i thought it was 1024 or 1m or whatever,  but yea; that works
[10:09] <SarcasMo> rcconf: i cant find the prgrams that are running
[10:09] <meuuijga> Peddy, Yep sure is. I edited xorg.conf and added Options "CoolBits" "5" in tthe device section
[10:09] <et_> soreau: Yes!
[10:09] <candyban> Or is the preferred method to boot from a live cd and fix it that way?
[10:09] <ejv> ohsix: well i gave it a start position of 1MB, is that too much?
[10:09] <SarcasMo> rcconf: i just checked system monitor but i dont see anything related (or i overlook it)
[10:09] <ohsix> ejv: shrug, you could put it at 0 and it'd still align it
[10:10] <ejv> ohsix: basically: `mkpart primary xfs 1 -1`
[10:10] <ejv> hmm
[10:10] <ejv> k i'll try
[10:10] <ejv> ohsix: nope doesn't like starting on zero: "Warning: The resulting partition is not properly aligned for best performance."
[10:10] <Peddy> meuuijga, is overclocking greyed-out? I'd try nvclock
[10:10] <rcconf> SarcasMo: maybe another user
[10:11] <ohsix> ejv: maybe because the way you're doing it assumes the operator knows what they're doing :D
[10:11] <ohsix> at least it tells you
[10:11] <ejv> hmm perhaps :D
[10:11] <SarcasMo> rcconf: is that possible when another user never logged on?
[10:11] <ohsix> iirc gparted will just do it
[10:11] <StepNjump> hi guys, all my files show an x and a lock icon on them so I cannot open them. Of course if I gksudo nautilus, they will open fine but how can I tell those files that I am now their new owner?
[10:11] <meuuijga> Peddy> that's what i tried at first(nvclock) enable overclocking is uncchecked but i am able to cccheck it, then adjuust the sliders. but then like i said it goes bback to defautlt settings. sorry for typos this laptop keyboard sucks
[10:12] <Peddy> meuuijga, try running nvclock with "sudo" in front of it!
[10:12] <Peddy> rehan, we tried our best (;
[10:12] <iqpi> meuuijga: be careful with nvclock, you can damage your vga
[10:13] <rehan> Peddy, so awesome. Thank you! So once i get ntfs-3g setup and can do automounting, i could just put in the directory via /media/[ntfs drive name]/folder?
[10:13] <SarcasMo> rcconf: its not another user
[10:13] <Peddy> rehan, that'll do the trick. You'll have to log in and out. Note that spaces in your folder name "eg My Document" may have to be preceded by an escape character - eg "My\ Documents"
[10:13] <meuuijga> iqpi> lol yep. justt had to reboot. funny thing is i'm trying to UNDERclock my card
[10:14] <rehan> Peddy, awesome.
[10:14] <basil_kurian_> I have one strange problem when nginx is used as a reverse proxy for apache. Nginx sometimes give "bad gateway error"
[10:14] <iqpi> i used nvclock and i do not remember i had to do anything to aply changes.
[10:14] <Peddy> rehan, I'm glad you're trying out ubuntu - hopefully your experiences will only improve from here. You already have the perfectionist mentality, as linux users do (;
[10:14] <fabrice_> bye-bye
[10:15] <rehan> Peddy, about logging in, what would that require? right now i am able to browse there via the GUI and it doesn't ask for a password
[10:15] <rehan> Peddy, haha thanks
[10:15] <Peddy> rehan, I mean, logging in and out after changing the paths in the text file
[10:15] <rehan> Peddy, oh ok, cool. perfect
[10:16] <rehan> Peddy, well i am off to do a clean install. I shall see you around in here Peddy. Thank you so much again.
[10:16] <fabrice_> Quit
[10:17] <meuuijga> Peddy> one odd thing to me, whenever i restart my session, the terminals i'd closed are back aggain . could that be pointing at another problem which is causing the nvclock/coolbits issue?
[10:17] <meuuijga> iqpi> same question
[10:17] <Peddy> meuuijga, when I used coolbits/nvclock, i had to re-do it every time i log in. it's not saved
[10:18] <meuuijga> Peddy> oh yeah from what i read i was expecting that much. but not  being able to change it in the first place is my prob
[10:18] <meuuijga> or the pain in the rear rather
[10:19] <Peddy> meuuijga, can you describe again what happens with coolbits?
[10:20] <soreau> Peddy: They are only the coolest bits around, duh ;)
[10:20] <Peddy> soreau, -1 and -0! so cool they're negative.
[10:20] <soreau> heh
[10:21] <meuuijga> Peddy> alright. i log in   to my desktop(KDE) , go in to nvidia system settings. i've enabled the fan control and the gpu/memory clock adjustments. whether i run as normal or su i am able to change the fan speed, but  whenever i click apply for the gpu/memory settings , it resets to default values
[10:21] <meuuijga> Peddy>
[10:22] <Notes> I have a lost ubuntu 10.04 32bit partition with some files on my hardrive, can I rescue it with an ubuntu 64bit 10.04 cd?
[10:23] <Peddy> meuuijga, are you aiming to change fan speeds, or clock speed? or both?
[10:23] <meuuijga> Peddy> both, my goal is to get my  card underclocked to run cooler
[10:23] <meuuijga> Peddy>
[10:23] <meuuijga> Peddy> thanks to nvidia's  faulty drivers, my card exploded, so i need to get it running cooler or else it becomes unstable and crashes the system
[10:23] <Peddy> meuuijga, are you on a laptop?
[10:24] <Peddy> oh
[10:24] <meuuijga> Peddy> i'm able to get the system stable in windows via Rivatuner, but no such luch in linux
[10:24] <meuuijga> i'm on a laptop atm talking to you. but the system in trouble is my desktop
[10:24] <jwtiyar> in places when i clikc to for example on Documents it open it with movie player how to fix it?
[10:25] <Peddy> meuuijga,  graphics card in the machine you're underclocking?
[10:25] <meuuijga> Peddy> yep
[10:25] <Peddy> like
[10:25] <Peddy> what model is it? XD
[10:25] <meuuijga> Peddy> oh hah geforce 9600 GT
[10:26] <Peddy> meuuijga, I have the 9800GT so I'm actually going to get coolbits working on my system, then report to you.
[10:26] <meuuijga> Awesome
[10:26] <Peddy> meuuijga, what was the line you added to xorg.conf?
[10:27] <meuuijga> Peddy>
[10:27] <meuuijga> Peddy> dammit lol. anway  it is Option   "CoolBits" "5"
[10:28] <bullgard4>  /proc/sys/kernel/domainname  is empty. What programs use to fill this file/ enter a value here?
[10:28] <Peddy> under "device"
[10:28] <Peddy> ?
[10:28] <meuuijga> yes
[10:28] <Peddy> brb
[10:28] <zykes-> anyone know of a guide to build a custom kernel ? I want multicore support in raid456
[10:30] <[twisti]> hi
[10:30] <[twisti]> i downloaded ubuntu from http://virtualboxes.org/images/ubuntu/
[10:30] <[twisti]> but its in some weird language
[10:30] <[twisti]> could someone help me change the language to english ?
[10:30] <[twisti]> i dont know what any of the things to click on say and i never used ubuntu before
[10:30] <Peddy> meuuijga, it seems to be working for me. What was wrong with your settings again? did they revert?
[10:31] <soreau> ! download | [twisti]
[10:31] <[twisti]> soreau: thanks, but im not looking for an installation cd
[10:31] <meuuijga> Peddy> yes that's the problem. every time i try to click Apply. they go right back to what they were before
[10:32] <meuuijga> Peddy> I've seen others have the same issue from forums i've found, but noone seems to have found a solution
[10:32] <Peddy> meuuijga, so as soon as you hit apply, it goes back to the default?
[10:32] <KillGuta> I have a key that's stuck and want to disable it. I tried xmodmap, but it doesn't work.
[10:32] <Peddy> meuuijga, have you tried "auto detect"?
[10:32] <Peddy> meuuijga, out of interest, does overclocking it work at all?
[10:33] <Peddy> as opposed to underclocking
[10:33] <meuuijga> Peddy> tried overclocking as well. any sort of adjustment simply doesn't stick
[10:33] <soreau> [twisti]: You probably should be :)
[10:33] <meuuijga> i'll try autodetect quickly
[10:33] <fairuz> zykes-: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev
[10:33] <Peddy> meuuijga, did you manage to get it running as root?
[10:34] <fairuz> zykes-: maybe you want to try #ubuntu-kernel or ##kernel
[10:34] <[twisti]> well, im not. all i want is some help changing the language to english, which im pretty sure shouldnt be all that hard
[10:34] <Peddy> meuuijga, have you tried using coolbits "1" , instead of 5?
[10:34] <meuuijga> Peddy> using su nvidia-seettings?
[10:35] <_ikke_> I'm trying to create a python script which writes to the /usr/bin/ directory. I have chown'd it to root, and applied the setuid bit (4755). But when I execute the script, I still get access denied. But when I use sudo, it just runs. Is there anything i'm doing wrong?
[10:35] <Peddy> meuuijga,  yes
[10:35] <dubey> hello
[10:36] <meuuijga> Peddy> just switched back to one. then ran sudo nvidia-settings. same issue =\
[10:36] <Peddy> meuuijga, did you ever manage to get it running with "sudo nvidia-settings"?
[10:37] <meuuijga> that's how i have it running atm
[10:37] <fairuz> _ikke_: because you write to a "root" folder?
[10:37] <Peddy> meuuijga, I wish I could help you further, but I lack the knowledge. Try asking here again, and try #nvidia
[10:38] <Peddy> night! best of luck
[10:38] <_ikke_> fairuz: Even with the script being owned by root and setuid?
[10:38] <meuuijga> Peddy> Thanks a lot for whatyou  did
[10:38] <_ikke_> fairuz: Or doesn't setuid work that way?
