[20:37] <hotfloppy> BluesKaj: 'apt-cache search w32codecs' show me nothing..
[20:38] <MattoD> yes i have that installed
[20:38] <MaRk-I> hotfloppy: those are from medibuntu repos
[20:38] <CppIsWeird> i just tried installing ubuntu-xen-server and it says it cant be installed because one of its dependencies cannot be found, xen-tools.
[20:38] <MattoD> but last time i was using 9.04 with desktop and there was a unlock button but not on 10.04
[20:39] <kevin64_irssi> hi
[20:39] <hotfloppy> MaRk-I: of course.. its windoze.. such a lame i am :(
[20:39] <hotfloppy> MaRk-I: thanks :)
[20:39] <BluesKaj> hotfloppy, install ubuntu-restricted-extras , and the medibuntu repos
[20:39] <hotfloppy> BluesKaj: thanks :)
[20:40] <BluesKaj> hotfloppy, enable the canonical partners and 3rd party sources in the package manager as well
[20:41] <ohir> Pici: Don't have default sshd.conf at hand. Though I bet that it has PermitRootLogin set to no. Anyway, reading man will be good though for one who asked. :)
[20:42] <ohir> Pici: if default sshd.conf has root login enabled it needs to be changed ;)
[20:43] <NarbeH> I have problem with "cutter" command.
[20:43] <tdn> I would like to practically test the strength of the passwords on my system. So I installed john and some word list packages. Then started john /path/to/shadow-file, but it did not work. I got: No password hashes loaded. What am I doing wrong?
[20:43] <ikonia> ohir: not if the root account is locked
[20:43] <MattoD> how do i unlock it? was so much easier with 9.04 server & desktop, 1 click fix
[20:44] <NarbeH> I have problem with "cutter" command.
[20:44] <durt> hey folks, anyone know how to get horizontal scrolling to work on a synapitics click pad?

[20:44] <_Thorn_> Hello. Wubi does not show "Install Inside Windows" button at all on any of my machines (Tested Win7 and XP). Googled around to no avail. The middle button and its related description simply does not appear in the application.

[20:44] <webPragmatist> how can i mount /home to a different partition
[20:44] <_Thorn_> (last time iask ); p
[20:44] <webPragmatist> or whats the common use here
[20:44] <NarbeH> hotfloppy: sorry?
[20:44] <h00k> durt: system -> preferences > mouse > touchpad tab
[20:45] <hotfloppy> ubottu: why dont u respond.. >:(
[20:45] <NarbeH> hotfloppy: aha got it
[20:45] <durt> h00k, ya, seen that, doesn't do anything though...
[20:45] <guntbert> hotfloppy: you forgot the !
[20:46] <hotfloppy> guntbert: lol.. am i stoned or what ?
[20:46] <h00k> durt: doesn't do anything like the checkbox won't check, or it has no effect?
[20:46] <psych787> Where is the alternate DVD for kubuntu? I need to install on a RAID array.
[20:46] <Guest18457> hi there.  I'm trying to install 10.04 to a usb drive so I can have a persistent install.  I keep seeing guides that say it should be formatted to FAT32.  doesn't that mean it will have the 4 gig file size limit?
[20:47] <durt> h00k, no effect, then again, I have no experience with synaptics, so I could be missing something
[20:47] <CppIsWeird> i just tried installing ubuntu-xen-server and it says it cant be installed because one of its dependencies cannot be found, xen-tools.
[20:47] <h00k> durt: in theory, that 'should' allow you to use the bottom strip of your touchpad for horizontal scrolling
[20:47] <psych787> Where is the alternate DVD for kubuntu? I need to install on a RAID array.
[20:48] <io> MattoD: It is discouraged to enable the root account, but if you are sure then set a password "sudo passwd root".
[20:48] <h00k> CppIsWeird: can you install xen-tools first? What are you using to install?
[20:48] <CppIsWeird> apt-get
[20:48] <pgpkeys> anyone using google calendar with evolution and know how to set it up? been trying to follow the instructions I found googling but to no avail
[20:48] <BluesKaj> CppIsWeird, do you have access to a tty ? if so then sudo aptitude install xen-tools
[20:48] <psych787> Hello? Can anyone help?
[20:49] <h00k> CppIsWeird: try 'sudo aptitude install ubuntu-xen-server'
[20:49] <h00k> CppIsWeird: from a terminal
[20:49] <xangua> pgpkeys: create a new calendar and select 'google' as type
[20:50] <durt> h00k, nup, it's a click pad, fairly new, the whole thing 'clicks', and where your finger is on the bottom edge determins whether it's a right or left click. So scrolling there would be difficult. Top edge scolling would be nice though.
[20:50] <io> psych787: It is at http://releases.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/lucid/. Try #kubuntu in future.
[20:50] <duffydack> Ok, how can I get execute perms on a setup.exe I`m trying to run with wine, but on a cdrom?
[20:50] <xangua> psych787: that would be.........in kubuntu's web
[20:50] <duffydack> I get some error about the security aspects..
[20:50] <psych787> Thanks.
[20:50] <dajhorn> Guest18457: FAT32 has a 4GB file size limit.   Create the USB stick and check whether the Live environment uses a loopback on the USB stick.
[20:50] <io> duffydack: Could you pastebin them?
[20:50] <CppIsWeird> blueskaj no candidate found for xen-tools
[20:51] <sandking> anyone know a way to split stereo sound file into two mono files?
[20:51] <kangu> what lightweight ubuntu version can I use on my old i386 computer ?
[20:51] <boozler> How can I get extra keys to work in ubuntu?  Iv tried going to system > preferences > keyboard > layouts and selecting different model key boards but I'v had no success. My keyboard is a logitech pro 2000 wireless usb. Im specifically trying to get extra equal sign, open and close paranthese above my numpad to work.
[20:51] <duffydack> io, all it is, is I cant chmod +x a file on a cd..obviously.. must be a way around it.  its a gui dialog btw
[20:52] <julianoliver> ikonia: the thread that relates to my problem is here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=621079
[20:52] <h00k> duffydack: perhaps...um, copy the files off the CD and then run them, ionno
[20:52] <POC|Farmer> sandking: you could use audacity
[20:52] <sean-laptop> kangu, fluxbuntu
[20:52] <ikonia> julianoliver: looking
[20:52] <sandking> POC|Farmer: thx
[20:52] <duffydack> io, http://pastebin.org/384692
[20:52] <sean-laptop> kangu, its the lightest weight you can get..
[20:52] <Loshki> sandking: I've done that in windows using Adobe audition. I bet you can do it in audacity too. Just save each channel independently to different files...
[20:52] <IdleOne> w32codecs is replaced by ubuntu-restricted-extras correct?
[20:53] <CppIsWeird> i just tried installing ubuntu-xen-server and it says it cant be installed because one of its dependencies cannot be found, xen-tools.
[20:53] <mek8630> Does this channel cover Linux Mint or do I have to find a Mint channel?
[20:53] <sean-laptop> kangu, but a i386? not too many current GUI-based distros would be suitable.. puppy linux MAYBE! or Deli Linux
[20:53] <io> mek8630: This covers the Ubuntu distribution only.
[20:53] <IdleOne> !mintsupport | mek8630
[20:53] <Loshki> duffydack: what h00k said....
[20:54] <duffydack> Loshki, h00k yeah I`ll try, and hope it doesnt look for a 'cd'
[20:54] <BluesKaj> CppIsWeird, no need to repeat your question , try xen-utils
[20:54] <kangu> sean-laptop, thanks I'm gonna give it a try :)
[20:54] <Loshki> duffydack: if all else fails, copy it, change the permissions, then reburn to a new cd...
[20:54] <boozler> How can I get extra keys to work in ubuntu? Iv tried going to system > preferences > keyboard > layouts and selecting different model key boards but I'v had no success.
[20:54] <sean-laptop> kangu, i want to know the ram specs on your 386
[20:55] <duffydack> Loshki, but its a cd.. its a read only device..  ?
[20:55] <dajhorn> IdleOne: No, w32codecs (and w64codecs) are currently separate, at least the ones that I have installed from the medibuntu repositories.
[20:55] <kangu> sean-laptop, 64m
[20:55] <Loshki> duffydack: well try h00k's idea first. But if it needs a cd, you'll have to beg or borrow access to a cd burner...
[20:56] <Raptors> Hey guys
[20:56] <Raptors> Did anyone here install mediatomb form source?
[20:56] <E_MAN> does ununtu find drivers for ethernet cards, graphics cards, sound cards, ect, automaticialy?
[20:56] <duffydack> Umm I found a solution.. the default wine launcher (cautious-launcher) doesnt work, but just telling it open with wine work
[20:56] <Raptors> I'm tying to figure out what "libjs" is
[20:56] <sean-laptop> kangu, i recommend puppy linux.. try an older one with a kernal that can support legacy hardware.. hope over to #puppylinux for more info
[20:56] <E_MAN> nevermind
[20:57] <sean-laptop> kangu, hop over i mean
[20:57] <Loshki> E_MAN: for common hardware, the answer is generally yes. But the newer the hardware, the more likely it is that is may not be supported yet. Use the live cd to check out if everything works *before* you install..
[20:58] <Proz> Hello, I jsut finished installing tux racer.
[20:58] <duffydack> Loshki, lookin at mount (/dev/sr0 on /media/cdrom0 type iso9660 (ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,user=dean)  its got noexec, so I made an fstab line to include exec but it still wont work and mounts like that
[20:58] <Proz> However, when I click it from the games menu, it wont start
[20:58] <Proz> No error message, no response what so ever. Would anyone know what might cause that
[20:58] <derjoerg> Hi, I have karmic with a atheros AR5001X+ configured with hostap as access-point. Clients can connect, but lose connection after about 30 sec and then re-connect and losing ... Any tips/tricks/hints?
[20:59] <duffydack> nevermind, I have a workaround...
[20:59] <leagris> Proz, you may get more error output by launching tuxracer within a shell window
[20:59] <Proz> I'll try, thanks
[20:59] <Loshki> duffydack: try taking out all the 'no' keywords. Did you comment out the original fstab line when you put in the new one?
[20:59] <duffydack> Loshki, damn now the fstab line works..
[20:59] <guntbert> Raptors: javascript - try aptitude search libjs
[21:00] <Proz> How can I find out the shell command to start it Leagris. I'm not that good with Linux yet. Sorry
[21:00] <sldfjgh> Is it just me or has the icon for the alarm clock applet shrunk recently?
[21:00] <duffydack> Loshki, for future reference I just added /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom0 iso9660,udf user,noauto,exec 0 0    to fstab
[21:00] <Loshki> duffydack: depends where you added it and if you commented out the old line. fstab will grab the first line that matches your device
[21:01] <duffydack> Loshki, there was no cdrom line in my fstab, i used usb to install.
[21:01] <Loshki> duffydack: does Setup run now?
[21:01] <duffydack> Loshki, yup
[21:01] <duffydack> Loshki,  and after adding a cd to winesetup
[21:01] <Proz> How do I find out the correct name to start programs in a shell? (which is a terminal, I presume)
[21:02] <Loshki> duffydack: best of luck with the rest, then....
[21:02] <duffydack> Loshki, half of the problem was the wine launcher being used, as just plain 'wine'  worked.
[21:02] <guntbert> Proz: do you have it in the menu?
[21:02] <Proz> I have two terminal windows open
[21:02] <julianoliver> Proz: if you have an idea of the name of the program, type a few characters and hit TAB. if it 'completes' then you have it, if not, then try another guess. eventually you just learn all the ones you wish to use.
[21:02] <pdk`> quick Q, is it possible to add the power button to the desktop in lucid + gnome
[21:03] <julianoliver> Proz: does this answer your question?
[21:03] <dajhorn> pdk`: The default desktop in Lucid puts the power button in the top-right corner of the screen.  Do you need something different?
[21:04] <Proz> Well, no as I can't find "extreme tux racer" - Tux - racer and extreme don't give me anything
[21:04] <julianoliver> ikonia: this ro problem is so odd i'm going for a new partition configuration and full reinstall
[21:04] <pdk`> dajhorn i was wondering if it' d be possible to make it a desktop icon
[21:04] <ikonia> julianoliver: I'll be interested in knowing what happens
[21:04] <Proz> Hmm found it. etracer.
[21:04] <root> hello everyone
[21:04] <munis> hi
[21:05] <Loshki> Proz: sometimes programmers give things whimsical names that have little to do with their true purpose...
[21:05] <Proz> It gives me a segmentation error.
[21:05] <munis> how are you today
[21:05] <julianoliver> Proz: you can also 'apropos <your-best-guess>'
[21:05] <julianoliver> Proz: apropos is a really handy little utility in this regard.
[21:05] <munis> yahoo messenger
[21:05] <Guest21039> sometimes the name will be used only once, so they think, what they hay, why not give it a random name?
[21:05] <Proz> Found it though, julianoliver and it gave me a segmentaton error.
[21:05] <munis> web chat
[21:06] <Proz> Hmm wow, yes, apropos is good.
[21:06] <julianoliver> Proz: right. must be something wrong with the binary. that's a programmer's fault in most cases.
[21:06] <Loshki> munis: do you have a question?
[21:06] <zus> hi  does anyone know if i can use my bluetooth head set for my phone as a mic for the pc? i have the bluetooth adapter  will this work for voice recording for screencasts or even skype and voip in empathy?
[21:06] <Guest21039> anyways, i need some help navigating irc
[21:06] <guntbert> Guest21039: don't do irc as root, don't do *any* regular work as root
[21:06] <Proz> Oke, thanks JulianoLiver, I was looking for something to see if my graphic card drivers were installed properly. Could you recommend me something else to test it with?
[21:06] <derjoerg> hi everybody
[21:06] <Guest21039> im trying to find a section that can help me with gcc c++ assembly linkage and AT&T instruction sets... google has been rather useless for the information im seeking
[21:07] <dajhorn> pdk`: Put a link to /sbin/poweroff onto the desktop.
[21:07] <derjoerg> is this the right place to ask some questions regarding wireless-accesspoint problems?
[21:07] <pdk`> hm does that go straight to shutdown or does it pop up the menu
[21:07] <julianoliver> Proz: if OpenGL acceleration is what you want to test, then 'glxinfo | grep direct'
[21:07] <Loshki> Guest21039: that's pretty specialized. What are you trying to do? Compile something?
[21:07] <julianoliver> Proz: if the line returned contains "yes" you're in business.
[21:07] <Agu10_> hi
[21:08] <guntbert> Guest21039: try to ask in ##c++
[21:08] <Proz> It contains a "need packet 'mesa-utils'"
[21:08] <Proz> which I'll get first.
[21:08] <dajhorn> pdk`:  This command works for me as a regular user:   ln -s /sbin/poweroff "$HOME/Desktop/"
[21:08] <Agu10> hi
[21:08] <guntbert> derjoerg: if you are having the problems in ubuntu - yes
[21:08] <Guest21039> im simply tryingn to understand the assembly side of programming... for optimization of mathematical calculations i will impliment with my applications
[21:08] <derjoerg> yep :)
[21:09] <Agu10> when I try to connect to a wifi network, it stays in the "connecting" state forever
[21:09] <Agu10> and I don't get internect access therefore
[21:09] <Guest21039> ill go check ##C++
[21:09] <Loshki> Guest21039: this isn't a good group for that kind of topic. I agree with guntbert, try ##c++
[21:09] <capletonX> Hi all.  Does anyone know if it is possible to load two grubs?  I'd like to keep grub2 on my ubuntu install, and then from it be able to go to grub vanilla with my arch install.  Is this possible?  if so, how?
[21:09] <derjoerg> I have an accesspoint running within karmic, but the connections from the clients are flapping
[21:09] <Loshki> Guest21039: see also ##asm
[21:10] <julianoliver> ikonia: no, it still fails.
[21:10] <derjoerg> with a "hardware" accesspoint (e.g. dlink) the clients can connect
[21:10] <dajhorn> capletonX: You could install the second instance of Grub to a partition, and then chainload +1 it from the first instance.
[21:10] <derjoerg> so I think it is a problem within ubuntu
[21:10] <ikonia> julianoliver: I just can't think of anything that would cause that, beyond the disk being marked as dirty
[21:11] <Loshki> capletonX: I've never done it myself, but I believe you can 'chainload' from one grub to another. It's how grub boots windows. Start googling :-)
[21:11] <julianoliver> ikonia: there is no /forcefsck and even when i manually put it there, it never gets to fsck.
[21:11] <julianoliver> ikonia: i simply have to manually fsck at the root prompt and all is well.
[21:11] <ikonia> julianoliver: that's interesting
[21:12] <ikonia> julianoliver: I wonder why /forcefsck is not causing it to check
[21:12] <capletonX> dajhorn, and Loshki; thank you!  Looking over to google now :)
[21:12] <dajhorn> capletonX:  Welcome.
[21:12] <duffydack> touch /forcefsck works for me
[21:12] <ikonia> julianoliver: ok - here is a long shot, and I do mean long shot
[21:12] <julianoliver> ikonia: this is something of a clue, perhaps.
[21:12] <ikonia> julianoliver: is your grub uuid the same as the one in your fstab ?
[21:12] <ikonia> julianoliver: I'm wondering if grub mounts it ro then when it parses fstab it's different so can't remount it rw
[21:13] <julianoliver> ikonia: i will check. remember earlier i thought that something fishy could be up with the uuid...
[21:13] <julianoliver> ikonia: i mean this makes /some/ sense.
[21:13] <ikonia> (as it's a diferent partition)
[21:13] <ikonia> julianoliver: I don't think it's uuid - more so different data
[21:13] <ikonia> julianoliver: I's a LONG shot though
[21:13]  * julianoliver checks all this
[21:13] <lojack> Hello.  Can anyone help me with a Gnome menu issue, please.
[21:13] <lojack> Trying to add a menu entry to a new sub-menu.
[21:13] <Loshki> ikonia: an inspired guess, though. Nice one...
[21:13] <Agu10> can anyone help me?
[21:13] <lojack> According to freedesktop.org specs sub-menus (under) Applications are defined in the file /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu
[21:14] <lojack>  I can't seem to figure out how to make my apps appear (system-wide) in a sub-menu defined within /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu
[21:14] <Loshki> !ask | Agu10
[21:14] <Agu10> when I try to connect to a wifi network, it stays in the "connecting" state forever. Therefor, I cannot access the internet...
[21:14] <Agu10> I already asked :S
[21:15] <Loshki> Agu10: sometimes it takes a while till Someone Who Knows comes along. You can repeat your question every 15 minutes until that happens...
[21:16] <julianoliver> ikonia: the UUID for root= ends with "cc620", as does that in the /boot/grub/menu.lst
[21:16] <Agu10> Loshki, ok... it's just there are too many people here :S
[21:17] <Loshki> Agu10: more people increases your chances of finding Someone Who Knows, so you can't win...
[21:17] <ikonia> julianoliver: ok, so that's another theory gone
[21:17] <Agu10> Loshki, no, I mean that there's too many people writing
[21:17] <kangu> sean-laptop, ?
[21:17] <Loshki> julianoliver: I missed the history of your issue. Do you want to recap it? Sometimes that helps...
[21:17] <julianoliver> ikonia: i will see if the manual fsck produces a normal remaining boot on this new install.
[21:17] <laclasse> Agu10, look into your logs to see what is happening ...
[21:18] <ikonia> julianoliver: I'll keep thinking
[21:18] <julianoliver> Loshki: the initial question: i am trying to diagnose why my install of a lightly customised Ubuntu always boots read only. i've remounted it as rw and it works fine and ensured that /etc/fstab has entries identical to my other Ubuntu and debian installs where applicable. any ideas?
[21:19] <julianoliver> Loshki: furthermore, if i manually fsck on a rescue-mode boot, it continues to boot fine. at no point is there a /forcefsck to be seen however and if i place it there as a hack workaround, it is ignored.
[21:20] <duffydack> julianoliver, I`m late to the discussion but doesnt sudo touch /forcefsck and a reboot work?
[21:20] <julianoliver> duffydack: no.
[21:20] <ikonia> duffydack: it "should"
[21:20] <julianoliver> duffydack: part of the general oddness.
[21:20] <duffydack> yeah, weird
[21:21] <Loshki> julianoliver: I assume you've already covered the fact that if an fsck fails on the root partition during boot, the system leaves it mounted ro. Did any of your customisations touch the boot scripts? Which OS, btw?
[21:21] <duffydack> any funky fstab entries?
[21:21] <julianoliver> Loshki: Ubuntu 9.04
[21:21] <julianoliver> duffydack: no, all stock after install
[21:21] <duffydack> julianoliver, what filesystem
[21:21] <julianoliver> Loshki: i didn't touch anything in init, as far as i recall.
[21:21] <julianoliver> duffydack: ext3
[21:22] <duffydack> julianoliver, silly question maybe, install 10.04?
[21:22] <julianoliver> duffydack: i don't want to. this is a custom install designed to host some software i'm running for a museum.
[21:23] <cryptide> printer was working but now it isn't listed on my admin >> printing window.  lsusb confirms that it is attached.  what next?
[21:24] <duffydack> julianoliver, and your fstab line includes the 0 1 etc at the end of each line?
[21:24] <Loshki> julianoliver: does 9.04 still have /etc/init.d/checkroot.sh ?
[21:24] <piglet12> hello
[21:24] <julianoliver> Loshki: i'll check after this next boot. good call..
[21:24] <julianoliver> duffydack: yes
[21:25]  * duffydack looks at checkroot, never heard of it.
[21:25] <harfooz> hi folks, I have a fresh installation of 10.4 and no longer have a terminal beep, i.e. when autocomplete fails to find a unique match or when I get an email in Tbird.
[21:25] <duffydack> Meh.. doesnt exist in lucid
[21:25] <thune3> cryptide: check if cupsd is running
[21:26] <piglet12> ive got a problem getting the wireless to work on my compaq mini 110c with ubuntu 10.04 LTS
[21:26] <Slart> harfooz: I think they added the pc speaker kernel module to the blacklist in 10.04 (or possible earlier)
[21:26] <julianoliver> Loshki: yes it does
[21:26] <Slart> harfooz: I assume you want the beep back?
[21:26] <harfooz> Slart: yes
[21:26] <Loshki> julianoliver: is there anything interesting in FSCK_LOGFILE (/var/log/fsck/checkroot in my 8.04)
[21:27] <cryptide> thune3: cupsd: Child exited on signal 15!
[21:27] <tdn> I would like to practically test the strength of the passwords on my system. So I installed john and some word list packages. Then started john /path/to/shadow-file, but it did not work. I got: No password hashes loaded. What am I doing wrong? I have unshadowed the file.
[21:27] <julianoliver> Loshki: logs can't be written due to the ro status of the fs
[21:27] <MichealH> harfooz: I would assume you would have to pop some code in to the blacklist files
[21:27] <Slart> harfooz: run this  "EDITOR=gedit sudoedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf"  it will get you a text editor with the blacklist loaded.. look near the end
[21:27] <Agu10> when I try to connect to a wifi network, it stays in the "connecting" state forever. Therefor, I cannot access the internet...
[21:27] <Slart> harfooz: there should be a line   "blacklist pcspkr" with a comment above it explaining that it's noisy and whatnot
[21:27] <root__> Hi. When I start my computer up, I see the plymouth screen, and then the default purple background with my mouse cursor, and I can move my mouse cursor for a split second, then completely unresponsive.
[21:28] <root__> Any advice?
[21:28] <harfooz> MichealH and Slart: thanks for the lead -- I'll look into it right away. Many thanks y'all!
[21:28] <piglet12> ive got a problem getting the wireless to work on my compaq mini 110c with ubuntu 10.04 LTS
[21:28] <MichealH> harfooz: No proble I like to help[
[21:28] <Slart> harfooz: just add a # at the start of that line, save the file, reboot and it should work again
[21:28] <sean-laptop> kangu,  go to channel #puppylinux.  they may be able to recommend a puppy variant to tryu on your i386
[21:28] <MichealH> piglet12: Is your wirless card supported?
[21:28] <piglet12> should be
[21:28] <root__> Anyone?
[21:28] <MichealH> piglet12: Drivers?
[21:29] <piglet12> according to the wiki it should work out of the box
[21:29] <guntbert> root__: advice on a different matter: don't do irc as root, don't do *any* regular work as root
[21:29] <MichealH> Hmmmm....
[21:29] <root__> guntbert: I am not. I am in recovery console.
[21:29] <piglet12> i read something about changing the drivers from broadcom to sti or something like that
[21:29] <piglet12> how do i do that
[21:29] <MichealH> Does it see the card?
[21:30] <guntbert> root__: ah, that explains it - sorry to bother you
[21:30] <Loshki> julianoliver: ah, right. How about setting VERBOSE to 1 and adding some extra echo lines to see what the fsck status is, or if it's even getting that far in the script? By now, you must be considering just doing a reinstall!
[21:30] <julianoliver> Loshki: i'm on my third now..
[21:30] <piglet12> MichealH where should it be shown?
[21:30] <root__> Anyone? I can't start my computer up.
[21:30] <MichealH> Maybe try ifconfig
[21:30] <slgma> is there anyone who knows a way to play justin.tv or any other flash player streams without a web browser
[21:30] <julianoliver> ikonia: Loshki: with Ubuntu, is there any difference installing at boot or from the desktop (using 'ubiquity' or whatever), from the filesystem perspective?
[21:31] <slgma> youtube has minitube but i cant seem to find anything for justin.tv
[21:31] <Loshki> julianoliver: the problem recurs after a reinstall? Even before you add the customisations?
[21:31] <MichealH> piglet12: See my last message. Sorry forgot to tag :(
[21:31] <julianoliver> Loshki: i'm installing from a Live CD i've made.
[21:31] <ikonia> julianoliver: not that I can think of
[21:31] <julianoliver> ok
[21:31] <piglet12> MichealH where do i c ifconfig? im kinda new with this:P
[21:31] <root__> Could someone please help me start my computer up?
[21:32] <MichealH> Terminal: Applications > Accesories > Terminal and then pastebin the results :)
[21:32] <thune3> cryptide: pm ok?
[21:32] <MichealH> I will be away
[21:32] <piglet12> MichealH i typed it in a terminal and it only shows eth0
[21:32] <Loshki> julianoliver: I agree with ikonia. No differences I can think of...
[21:32] <piglet12> MichealH and local loopbackthingie
[21:32] <MichealH> piglet12: Hmmmm. are you connected to etehrnet
[21:32] <piglet12> MichealH yes
[21:32] <MichealH> Ok hmmmm...
[21:33] <piglet12> MichealH how do i change the drivers?
[21:33] <MichealH> Have you got the wifi light on (I do that sometimes)
[21:33] <piglet12> MichealH yes its blue
[21:33] <root__> Xorg freezes a split second after it starts. Please help.
[21:33] <MichealH> Hmmm......
[21:33] <Loshki> julianoliver: any idea what happens if you install a completely standard 9.04 then add your customisations by hand? If that works, would you consider a two cd installation process?
[21:34] <MichealH> Im going to have to think this through...
[21:34] <piglet12> MichealH take ur time : )
[21:34] <MichealH> piglet12: I am in a etting so I will try to :)
[21:34] <MichealH> *meeting
[21:34] <julianoliver> Loshki: yes, i simply don't have time. i have just 12 hours left and much more to do before i travel.
[21:34] <jm_> anyone able to help with ndiswrapper invalid device errors
[21:35] <Loshki> julianoliver: I understand. That's why a 2 step install might be the better form of valor...
[21:35] <julianoliver> Loshki: but you're right. if i had time i'd install and customise by hand all over again, quite an aesthetic overall, among software compilation-fu!
[21:36] <Raptors> Man I still cant find libjs
[21:36] <Raptors> This is pissing me off
[21:36] <Raptors> I installed like every libjs package in the repo and it still says missing
[21:37] <Loshki> julianoliver: sorry not to be more help. Truth is, the ubuntu boot-time stuff is kind of a mess...
[21:37] <julianoliver> Loshki: right. i'm a long time Debian user but feel somewhat lost in this case!
[21:37] <guntbert> I have somehow disabled my <del> key within gnome (in virtual console it is fine), xev shows the pressed key but in an unexpected way no KeypressEvent/KeyreleaseEvent http://paste.ubuntu.com/459975/  -- any ideas where to look?
[21:38] <samuels_> hello
[21:38] <samuels_> i would like to know what ports are listening on my pc please, as i think someone is running an ircd without my permission
[21:38] <Belgarath> hi anybody knows what to do in lucid to allow remote connections to mysql ?
[21:39] <Loshki> julianoliver: best I can think of right now is to add some echo statements to checkroot.sh and see if that makes a penny drop...
[21:39] <julianoliver> samuels_: sudo netstat -tupa
[21:39] <kangu> sean-laptop, thanks it's very appreciated!
[21:39] <flodine> anyone here still running 9.10?
[21:39] <Belgarath> flodine: I do
[21:39] <julianoliver> Loshki: indeed. it's just that dmesg's scrollback is cut due to no 'w'.
[21:39] <iceroot> !anyone | flodine
[21:39] <gregl> guntbert, Take a look at system  preferences keyboard shortcuts and see if you somehow deleted the short cut..
[21:40] <Loshki> julianoliver: hmm, if you can get it to boot verbosely, you should be able to see the output in real time during boot...
[21:40] <julianoliver> Loshki: this machine is absurdly fast.. no chance sadly!
[21:40] <guntbert> gregl: <del> is no shortcut - or is it?
[21:40] <piglet12> MichealH i think i solved it by myself
[21:41] <Loshki> julianoliver: so what's your next move?
[21:41] <mar> hi there, would someone lend me a nasty piece of software to get rid of a flatmate's comp?
[21:41] <gregl> guntbert, I think all keyboard assignments are short cuts..Like vol up down etc..
[21:41] <private_meta> You know your connection speed is slow if you do "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" and update takes so long sudo asks for your password for upgrade again
[21:41] <root__> Does anyone know how to solve problems?
[21:42] <julianoliver> Loshki: i'm thinking about using traditional addressing in place of UUID and then when that most probably acheives nothing, just going for a manual install and customisation from scratch, ie staying up all night.
[21:42] <Raptors> WHERE Is LIBJS:?
[21:42] <slidinghorn> !illegal | mar
[21:42] <Raptors> This is really pissing me off.
[21:42] <guntbert> gregl: I don't see it there (<ins>, <backspace> ... neither)
[21:42] <atperez> Greetings
[21:42] <thioune> hi, is there someone who can tell m how switch a document.org in a document.doc, sorry im a newcomer
[21:42] <Loshki> julianoliver: bummer...
[21:43] <guntbert> !caps | Raptors
[21:43] <gregl> guntbert, Yeah, I was just looking also..Sorry,it was a shot in the dark..
[21:43] <julianoliver> Loshki: yes, indeedy.
[21:43] <guntbert> gregl: thx for trying :-)
[21:43] <root__> My computer won't start up. Help?
[21:43] <gregl> guntbert, np
[21:43] <Loshki> mar: just talk to your roommate and try for a diplomatic solution...
[21:43] <samuels_> this program crond is listening when i did sudo netstat -tupa, i would like to know what ports is this program listening on
[21:43] <samuels_> how do i do that please
[21:43] <slidinghorn> root__, please ask your question (*in detail*, on one line, and wait for an answer.  for multiple lines, please us http://paste.ubuntu.com.  If you don't get an answer right away, you can check out http://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org
[21:43] <julianoliver> Raptors: sudo dpkg -L libjs
[21:44] <root__> slidinghorn: When I do that people don't answer.
[21:44] <guntbert> Raptors: try aptitude search libjs -- tells you a bunch of packages
[21:44] <flodine> is there a way i can load ati drivers for my laptop on 10.04
[21:44] <root__> And I need an answer.
[21:44] <mar> Loshki: yeah, right, thanks for the diplomatic advice ^^u
[21:44] <Raptors> I think I found it.
[21:44] <Raptors> Stupid ubuntu and horrible naming
[21:44] <Raptors> its libmozjs-dev
[21:44] <slidinghorn> root__, well it's a channel of volunteers, and sometimes answers aren't available right away.  Try to be patient :)  in the meantime, you need to give more detail than "my computer won't start"
[21:45] <julianoliver> Raptors: for what it's worth, it's no differe
[21:45] <root__> slidinghorn: I've been giving this information over and over.
[21:45] <aeon-ltd> root__: uhh more detail?
[21:45] <root__> Sure thing!
[21:45] <julianoliver> Raptors: for what it's worth, it's no different on other OS's.
[21:45] <MichealH> piglet12: So... Your wireless...
[21:45] <root__> When Xorg starts, I can move my mouse for a split second; then nothing responds.
[21:45] <atperez> I've just downloaded kubuntu 10.04 to try the live-cd, but when pressing F4 to list boot modes, I can only see "Normal", "Use driver update disc" and "OEM install (for manufacturers)". I don't see the option to start in safe graphic mode. Is this option somewhere else?
[21:45] <piglet12> MichealH its np now im so awesome that it just worked from rebooting it 3 times in a row
[21:45] <slidinghorn> root__, have you checked for relevant entries in dmesg?
[21:46] <MichealH> piglet12: \o/
[21:46] <root__> slidinghorn: I can't because my computer won't do anything afterwards and dmesg is cleared on reboot.
[21:46] <aeon-ltd> root__: so X dies after spawn immediatly
[21:46] <root__> Does not die.
[21:46] <root__> Freezes.
[21:46] <samuels_> could some one please tell me how do i find out what ports is this proces *crond* listening on
[21:46] <slidinghorn> root__, what about in recovery mode?
[21:46] <root__> slidinghorn: That's what I'm in right now.
[21:47] <root__> slidinghorn: But I do netroot.
[21:47] <aeon-ltd> root__: have you tried purging all configs and starting again?
[21:47] <root__> aeon-ltd: What, now?
[21:47] <root__> aeon-ltd, slidinghorn: Give pause; I'll conjure my laptop.
[21:47] <aeon-ltd> root__: basically a full uninstall, clean install of xorg and all its depenedancies
[21:48] <CppIsWeird> i just tried installing ubuntu-xen-server and it says it cant be installed because one of its dependencies cannot be found, xen-tools.
[21:49] <HydroUK> Slart, FYI i found out what it was, it was my RTL8187B, not a good card at all
[21:49] <MindVirus> aeon-ltd, slidinghorn: Hello.
[21:49] <Slart> HydroUK: ah.. good catch
[21:49] <HydroUK> i found in windows it doesnt go full rate either
[21:49] <aeon-ltd> CppIsWeird: did you remove xen-tools earlier?
[21:49] <venik> how do I edit teh PLACES menu in Gnome?
[21:49] <aeon-ltd> MindVirus: uhh, hi?
[21:49]  * HydroUK gone back to cat5!
[21:49] <venik> I want to delete an item from it, but it refuses to do it
[21:49] <MindVirus> aeon-ltd: This is me on my laptop, obviously.
[21:49] <slidinghorn> MindVirus, , what version of ubuntu is the machine running?  is this a recent install?
[21:49] <HydroUK> thought i would report back so ya know ;P
[21:49] <aeon-ltd> MindVirus: oh hi root__
[21:50] <MindVirus> slidinghorn: 10.04. Definitely not recent; it's been upgraded since like 7.04.
[21:50] <MindVirus> slidinghorn: Furthermore, it has worked on 10.04 for a while.
[21:50] <MindVirus> Any suggestions?
[21:50] <slidinghorn> MindVirus, do you remember the last thing you did before the behavior started?
[21:50] <vodll> hi...does anyone here know to program in POSIX C? Have a school project and i'm really stuck on a hitch....just want to create a c.file that creates a father and son process, and the father signals the son every 5 sec and the son answers back...would really appreciate a code snippet..:D
[21:50] <MindVirus> No.
[21:50] <aeon-ltd> MindVirus: what the hardware spec like?
[21:51] <MindVirus> aeon-ltd: Memory? CPU?
[21:51] <MindVirus> 2GB TCCD chips, Opteron 165 1.8GHz.
[21:51] <Loshki> samuels_: you could try: sudo lsof -i4tcp -p <pid of crond>
[21:51] <samuels_> Loshki: i shall try thank you
[21:52] <aeon-ltd> MindVirus: so relatively modern machine
[21:52] <MindVirus> Yes.
[21:53] <aeon-ltd> MindVirus: when x freezes can you can back to a vt or does the keyboard and mouse freeze up aswell?
[21:53] <aeon-ltd> *can you go
[21:53] <MindVirus> aeon-ltd: Mouse freezes up; will try VT.
[21:53] <zeal__> hi, what sections in control file for launchpad ppa?
[21:53] <munis> hi everybody
[21:54] <guntbert> zeal__: I didn't understand your question
[21:54] <MindVirus> aeon-ltd: Most likely won't work.
[21:55] <aeon-ltd> MindVirus: why not? ctrl-alt-f1 does nothing?
[21:55] <zeal__> i want upload my project in launchpad ppa
[21:55] <MindVirus> aeon-ltd: Nope.
[21:55] <MindVirus> Nothing.
[21:55] <MindVirus> I hear my speakers make a noise before shit crashes.
[21:55] <zeal__> in debian/control "Section: main"
[21:55] <slidinghorn> aha!
[21:55] <Loshki> vodll: try ##c
[21:56] <h00k> !language | MindVirus
[21:57] <guntbert> zeal__: did you see https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA ?
[21:57] <slidinghorn> MindVirus, do you use pulse for your audio?
[21:57] <MindVirus> slidinghorn: Sadly.
[21:57] <zeal__> yes
[21:57]  * samuels_ thanks for help guys.
[21:57] <aeon-ltd> MindVirus: does this machine have any data you want, cos this feels like a need for a 10.04 reinstall
[21:58] <MindVirus> aeon-ltd: Forget it.
[21:58] <zeal__> but i can't find anything about sections
[21:58] <aeon-ltd> MindVirus: miracle, problem solved?
[21:58] <MindVirus> aeon-ltd: Some certain fixable thing is wrong.
[21:58] <MindVirus> aeon-ltd: No.
[21:58] <Zuruzuru> So I'm trying to install ubuntu on an older laptop, and after I start the install (or the live cd too) it'll display the ubuntu screen then a black screen that seems to indicate it's loading something.
[21:58] <Zuruzuru> is that normal?
[21:58] <guntbert> zeal__: cannot help - sorry
[21:58] <MindVirus> Just not reinstalling.
[21:58] <slidinghorn> MindVirus, I'm looking for a way to have you remove the pulseaudio daemon from startup -- please hold ;)
[21:59] <MindVirus> slidinghorn: I can just uninstall it.
[21:59] <aeon-ltd> Zuruzuru: how old?
[21:59] <MindVirus> slidinghorn: That's the only way AFAIK.
[21:59] <Zuruzuru> aeon-ltd, 5 years maybe?
[22:00] <aeon-ltd> Zuruzuru: spec?
[22:00] <MindVirus> Oh, from startup.
[22:00] <Dulak> hahah
[22:00] <Zuruzuru> aeon-ltd, http://archive.laptopmag.com/Review/HP-Pavilion-ze4900.htm?Page=0
[22:00] <Zuruzuru> I'm installiing the 32 bit, and I've tried both a cd and a usb installer
[22:01] <slidinghorn> MindVirus, try this (removes pulse & replaces it with ESD) -- may or may not solve the issue, but it's a starting point...you may not want to install ESD right away just to see if pulse was the issue in the 1st place: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-all-pulseaudio-related-issues.html
[22:01] <alteregoa> darmok and jalad at tanagra
[22:01] <MindVirus> slidinghorn: Really don't want to use ESD.
[22:01] <MindVirus> Rather use ALSA.
[22:01] <Dulak> I have a logitech usb headset with a volume control on it.  When I use it, I see the volume slider popup and move up or down, but it has no effect on the volume coming through the headset.
[22:01] <slidinghorn> MindVirus, also a possibility
[22:02] <mirko> yes weekend
[22:04] <MindVirus> slidinghorn: Basically just uninstalled pulseaudio.
[22:04] <bazhang> !ot > alteregoa
[22:04] <slidinghorn> MindVirus, crossing my fingers for you, lol
[22:04] <MindVirus> Keep 'em twisted.
[22:05] <MindVirus> Yeah, that solved the problem.
[22:05] <MindVirus> Pulseaudio sucks.
[22:05] <MindVirus> I bet it's got something to do with configuration.
[22:05] <MindVirus> Pulse has been acting up anyways.
[22:05] <slidinghorn> MindVirus, Great!  well take a look at some different audio applications and find one that works for you...I think ubottu has a factoid for that...hold on
[22:05] <MindVirus> What a piece of crap.
[22:05] <slidinghorn> !audio > MindVirus
[22:06] <MindVirus> slidinghorn: I can figure that on my own.
[22:06] <heathen> Got a brand new 10.04 system. One question: How do I set a root password?
[22:06] <MindVirus> But thanks for helping restore my system!
[22:06] <guntbert> !root | heathen
[22:06] <zeal__> guntbert:  Section: misc
[22:06] <MindVirus> heathen: Not a good idea.
[22:06] <zeal__> guntbert: work with it
[22:07] <slidinghorn> MindVirus, glad I could help :)
[22:07] <heathen> But I can't do anything. It keeps asking to "Authenticate" How do I do that?
[22:07] <madrid> Hi, I can not change the password in jaunty.. i need the console parameters...
[22:07] <guntbert> zeal__: I don't need any software right now :-)
[22:07] <guntbert> !sudo | heathen
[22:08] <julianoliver> ikonia: Loshki: i think i confused myself earlier - i can only resume a boot if i choose fsck from from the ncurses menu of the recovery UI. if i fsck -y -f /dev/sda1 i cannot resume a normal boot, the fs is still ro. is this perhaps a clue?
[22:08] <lyrae> something beyond strange is happening.... i keep deleting a folder, 'blue' from the .trash-1000 folder, and it deletes, and comes back as blue.2
[22:08] <heathen> kthx
[22:08] <lyrae> then if i try again, blue 2.2
[22:08] <lyrae> and etc
[22:08] <ikonia> julianoliver: what happens if you do fsck -n /dev/sda1 then try to boot
[22:08] <guntbert> heathen: did you read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo ?
[22:08] <ikonia> julianoliver: that will provide us with a good clue
[22:08] <heathen> not yet, goin in...
[22:08] <julianoliver> ikonia: ok, i'll try this next.
[22:08] <aeon-ltd> Zuruzuru: sorry it took so long to reply, no it shouldn't happen on a machine like this, what are you usingg to install?
[22:09] <madrid> I can not change the password in jaunty..
[22:09] <Zuruzuru> aeon-ltd, I've tried both ubuntu and xubuntu, I can't get past this black screen though. I'm hoping it's not a hardware problem, but it's starting to look like it
[22:10] <julianoliver> ikonia: it just says /dev/sda1: clean, (etc)
[22:10] <julianoliver> ikonia: now attempting a resumed boot.
[22:10] <julianoliver> ikonia: still ro
[22:10] <ikonia> julianoliver: thats good news
[22:10] <ikonia> julianoliver: the problem is %100 the disk is being marked as dirty
[22:10] <julianoliver> ikonia: ahah..
[22:10]  * heathen can't scroll back on this thing :(
[22:10] <aeon-ltd> Zuruzuru: are these freshly burnt cds on new cds?
[22:11] <ikonia> julianoliver: something is corrupting the disk's file system integrity
[22:11] <Loshki> julianoliver: Well, the script has to check the status of fsck since it can only allow write access if the fsck says the filesystem is ok, so that's why I presume only the ncurses option works. What I don't understand is why the filesystem doesn't seem to stay clean if you've booted successfully once...
[22:11] <ikonia> julianoliver: any clues based on what your system does ?#
[22:11] <Zuruzuru> aeon-ltd, brand new ones. ANd I've tried using a usb key too
[22:11] <julianoliver> ikonia: interesting. what are my options?
[22:11] <slidinghorn> heathen, do you need the links again?
[22:11] <aeon-ltd> Zuruzuru: then its definitely hardware related
[22:11] <julianoliver> ikonia: i can't see any. i have no scrollback as dmesg is truncated.
[22:11] <Zuruzuru> aeon-ltd, That's what I thought, thanks for the help.
[22:12] <aeon-ltd> Zuruzuru: what part if the install happens before the black screen
[22:12] <julianoliver> Loshki: yes, i don't know why it doesn't stay clean either..
[22:12] <aeon-ltd> *if-->of
[22:12] <slidinghorn> julianoliver, try dmesg | less
[22:12] <spotter> dz
[22:12] <ikonia> julianoliver: I'm wondering if here is an application doing it, if the box is not shutting down properly (power off before clean up on the disk)
[22:12] <Zuruzuru> aeon-ltd, I get the ubuntu screen after I click "Install on harddrive" and then it goes black after that.
[22:12] <ikonia> julianoliver: have a look at the parameters set with tune2fs
[22:12] <julianoliver> ikonia: ok, interesting..
[22:13] <julianoliver> slidinghorn: of course, dmesg stdout is in RAM.. cheers
[22:13] <mcl0vin> hi guys , i am having an issue. am running 9.10 on an HP mini 10" when i login to my work terminal server(Windows) the screen is cut in half were i don't see the " start" button please help me
[22:13] <chalcedny> if i walk away from my newly installed ubuntu 10.04 computer, it needs a password to let me back in .. how can i make that interval longer or not have it do that?
[22:13] <Zuruzuru> aeon-ltd, to be more specific it's the ubuntu splash screen
[22:13] <aeon-ltd> Zuruzuru: whats currently on the hdd?
[22:13] <madrid> i need the parameters to change the password in jaunty
[22:13] <Loshki> julianoliver: bad disk hardware? Corrupted boot script? Hard to see what else might do it....
[22:13] <Zuruzuru> aeon-ltd, windows xp
[22:13] <aeon-ltd> Zuruzuru: so you never erach the live enviro?
[22:14] <Zuruzuru> aeon-ltd, nope.
[22:14] <aeon-ltd> Zuruzuru: does xp boot fine?
[22:14] <mcl0vin> hi guys , i am having an issue. am running 9.10 on an HP mini 10" when i login to my work terminal server(Windows) the screen is cut in half were i don't see the " start" button please help me
[22:14] <Zuruzuru> aeon-ltd, yeah, boots fine.
[22:14] <aeon-ltd> Zuruzuru: any problems in xp?
[22:15] <Zuruzuru> aeon-ltd, none.
[22:15] <Agu10> when I try to connect to a WIFI network, it stays in the "connecting" state, and I can't access the internet. However, creating ad-hoc wifi networks works just fine.
[22:15] <Agu10> any ideas?
[22:15] <thune3> chalcedny: check power-management and screensaver preferences in system->prefs
[22:16] <aeon-ltd> Zuruzuru: damn, not sure if its worthwhile but ubuntu loads part of itself onto the ram when going live, a memory test might be able to tell you more but since there are no problems in xp it sounds unlikely
[22:16] <Zuruzuru> aeon-ltd, takes, I'll run a memory test then
[22:16] <chalcedny> thune3 thanks :)
[22:17] <aeon-ltd> Zuruzuru: hope it helps, gtg i'll be bach
[22:17] <julianoliver> ikonia: i will try a full fsck using the recovery UI then a proper shutdown, poweroff and reboot.
[22:18] <julianoliver> s/reboot/boot/
[22:18] <tim_> I was using smuxi perfectly until I changed the preferences and now I can't open the program. It keeps crashing. I tried reinstalling with no luck. Any suggestions?
[22:19] <Loshki> julianoliver: worth a try. Also, if the live cd has smartctl, take a quick look at the disk health...
[22:19] <ikonia> nice idea
[22:19] <loldog> anyone know how to get rt3070 chipset to do injection (usb wlan stick)?
[22:19] <julianoliver> Loshki: yes, good idea.
[22:19] <ikonia> if the disk is failing it could be messing up the file system
[22:19] <julianoliver> Loshki: it was burnt at a whopping 9x
[22:19] <Loshki> julianoliver: the hard disk health :-)
[22:20] <julianoliver> ikonia: ahh right. i thought you meant fs corruption carried over from a poor live CD somehow.
[22:20] <julianoliver> ikonia: oops, intended for Loshki
[22:21] <tim_> I was using smuxi perfectly until I changed the preferences and now I can't open the program. It keeps crashing. I tried reinstalling with no luck. Any suggestions?
[22:21] <julianoliver> Loshki: right. it's a brand new 250Gb SeaGate. i will check it regardless.
[22:22] <Loshki> julianoliver: a bad live CD burn *is* a possibility, but it usually doesn't have such subtle effects. Most often, a bad burn results in a non-bootable CD. A bad brand new hard drive is also not unheard of, and we are scraping the barrel a bit now...
[22:22] <julianoliver> Loshki: hehe indeed.
[22:22] <ikonia> Loshki: I've seen file systems get corrupted on hard disk spin up due to dodgy voltage
[22:23] <julianoliver> interesting..
[22:23] <ikonia> the possabilities are pretty open
[22:23] <Loshki> julianoliver: ikonia: sometimes, I'm amazed that *anything* works....
[22:25] <tim_> I was using smuxi perfectly until I changed the preferences and now I can't open the program. It keeps crashing. I tried reinstalling with no luck. Any suggestions?
[22:25] <slidinghorn> tim_, when you uninstalled, did you purge the config files?   sudo apt-get remove --purge appname
[22:26] <itexus> Hi, im trying to install ubuntu server mounted on a USB memstick. But it keeps insisting that its something wrong with the "CD" and cant copy files :/
[22:26] <itexus> I dont even have a optical drive installed in that computer.
[22:27] <tim_> slidinghorn, yes. Then, I reinstall and it doesn't launch.
[22:27] <itexus> I have installed ubuntu server on the memorystick using the USB installer from pendrive linux
[22:27] <guest12158> Hi
[22:27] <itexus> Anyone knows whats the deal with it? :/
[22:27] <slidinghorn> tim_, have you launched it from command line (I personally don't know what smuxi is, so if that's the only way to launch, forgive me)?  what error messages are you given (use http://paste.ubuntu.com for multiple lines)
[22:28] <slidinghorn> itexus, have you verified the md5?
[22:28] <itexus> slidinghorn, no :/

[22:30] <guest12158> Hi im trying to install 10.04
[22:30] <guntbert> ali____: and use that command only in a private session with nickserv
[22:30] <guest12158> it runs normally but when it reboots, i get some errors D:
[22:30] <v1ad> yes

[22:31] <Lxndr> Every time I double-click a txt file, it tells me it is executable, and gives me options to either display it or execute it. How do I configure ubuntu to let me directly open txt files from a double-click?
[22:32] <tim_> Lxndr, in the file browser, go to View>Preferences and change the "Executable Text Files" option under "Behavior"
[22:32] <guest12158> can anyone help me?D:
[22:33] <guntbert> !pm | ali____
[22:34] <Lxndr> tim: thanks, but I found it it edit>preferences. there's no 'preferences' under view.
[22:34] <xibalba_> anyone have a copy of the nProbe source?
[22:34] <xibalba_> im trying to compile it and test it for freebsd
[22:34] <tim_> Lxndr, Whoops. Sorry about that. I'm glad you found it!
[22:34] <tim_> slidinghorn, Any luck?
[22:34] <CppIsWeird> i just tried installing ubuntu-xen-server and it says it cant be installed because one of its dependencies cannot be found, xen-tools.
[22:34] <guntbert> ali____: just type /join #freenode
[22:35] <itexus> ubottu. the checksums are identical
[22:35] <borwar> I used the mini.iso to install Ubuntu, and during the setup it asked me what additional software I wanted to install. So now I dont have desktop. Do I need to redo the isntall, or can I do something form CLI?
[22:35] <slidinghorn> tim_, haven't found anything yet....still looking
[22:35] <borwar> I mean, I skipped additional software
[22:35] <ali____> ok
[22:35] <itexus> ubottu. the checksums are identical (for the ISO file). I have also scanned the USB memstick for invalid clusters and stuff but it says its ok. i have also tried reformat and reinstalled it on the memstick with the same results.
[22:35] <CppIsWeird> if i install xen-tools from source will the ubuntu-xen-server package see this and install?
[22:35] <itexus> gah
[22:36] <guest12158> Im having some trouble trying to install, anyone can help me?
[22:36] <ali____> thanks gunbert
[22:36] <slidinghorn> !ask | guest12158
[22:36] <guntbert> ali____: have fun :-)
[22:36] <ali____> how could I reply you in public ?
[22:36] <tim_> slidinghorn, Thanks. Maybe there is a problem with the build. I'm thinking since it's giving "Smuxi.Frontend.Gnome" that's a problem with the actual code, not the config.
[22:36] <itexus> slidinghorn, the checksums are identical (for the ISO file). I have also scanned the USB memstick for invalid clusters and stuff but it says its ok. i have also tried reformat and reinstalled it on the memstick with the same results.
[22:37] <guntbert> ali____: everything you type here is seen by everyone in this channel
[22:37] <slidinghorn> borwar, depending on what DE you want to run (Gnome/KDE/XFCE) just run sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop (or kubuntu-desktop or xubunt-desktop)
[22:37] <borwar> slidinghorn: And after that, just reboot?
[22:37] <slidinghorn> borwar, yep :)
[22:37] <xibalba_> anyone using nProbe ?
[22:38] <itexus> slidinghorn, please help :)
[22:38] <guest12158> Im installing 10.04 from a CD, first of all i get a small error saying the installation program encountered an error and will initiate a desktop session, in which i am currently, then I install it from here, everything goes normal but when it goes to reboot and ejects the CD, i get a screen full of I/O Errors, anyone know what is going on?
[22:38] <slidinghorn> itexus, hmm...not sure what's causing the issue :-\  I'm going to send you one more factoid about USB installs and if that's not helpful, I don't know where else to point you...
[22:38] <ali____> ok i knew that but my mean is my message appears like you in different color and your name be at the beginning of it
[22:38] <slidinghorn> !usb | itexus
[22:39] <tim_> slidinghorn, Thanks for your help man. I'm thinking that it's a problem with the actual build. Nothing we can do. Thanks again!
[22:39] <BiggFREE> Hi
[22:39] <julianoliver> Loshki: ikonia the disk passed the smartctl test, so i'm assuming it's just in init or the tendrilous boot scripts themselves. i will take a stock 9.04 and start again i think. thanks for your help!
[22:39] <CppIsWeird> if i install xen-tools from source will the ubuntu-xen-server package see this and install?
[22:39] <slidinghorn> tim_ if you'd like i can try to take a look at the config file...you can pastebin it, just make sure that you take your passwords out of it before posting
[22:40] <itexus> slidinghorn, ok thanks. i think i already read those pages. But to me the problem with the installation it seems like ubuntu server is designed to only be installed with CD, atleast in my version (10.4). Also it fails to detect any disks.
[22:40] <xibalba_> man this channel fills up with too much info
[22:40] <slidinghorn> itexus, is your bios set to boot from USB?
[22:40] <tim_> slidinghorn, I can't even find the config file. It's not in my home or in /usr/share. I can't even find anything in gconf-editor
[22:40] <xibalba_> tim do a find / for it
[22:40] <itexus> slidinghorn, ofcourse i am in the setup ^^ there is no OS on the machine
[22:40] <slidinghorn> tim_, what about in ~/.config/smuxi/smuxi-engine.ini
[22:41] <Perun_> hi
[22:41] <xibalba_> oh wow
[22:41] <xibalba_> we got an ipv6 guy
[22:41] <Perun_> deos someone know a repository with teamspeak3 pkgs?
[22:41] <itexus> slidinghorn, the setup loads fine, its after i have configured my language and such it fails to copy files.
[22:41] <Loshki> julianoliver: best of luck...
[22:41] <xibalba_> Perun_ : where you from ?
[22:41] <Perun_> germany
[22:41] <tim_> slidinghorn, Aha. Let me get that for you.
[22:41] <bazhang> !ot | xibalba_
[22:41] <slidinghorn> tim_, remember to remove your password(s)
[22:42] <xibalba_> thanks
[22:42] <MindVirus> Hi. If pulseaudio is installed, when GDM starts up, my computer freezes and I can't go to a VT. If pulseaudio is uninstalled, everything works properly except sound.
[22:44] <itexus> slidinghorn, one more question. The iso file says amd64, but my cpu is intel64. Can it work anyway?
[22:44] <tim_> slidinghorn, http://paste.ubuntu.com/459995/ thanks so much.
[22:44] <slidinghorn> itexus, the 64-bit should work with just about any 64-bit arch
[22:44] <blain> not true
[22:44] <itexus> Ok, as i thought. thanks.
[22:44] <blain> i doubt it will work with IA64
[22:44] <slidinghorn> tim_, no guarantees, as I have no experience with that program, but I'll try :)
[22:44] <Daekdroom> blain, I thought it would.
[22:45] <Daekdroom> blain, except for ia32libs.
[22:45] <tim_> slidinghorn, thanks. If we can't make progress, can I just delete that .ini file?
[22:45] <blain> IA64 is not x86_64
[22:45] <Daekdroom> blain, so x86_64 hardware can't run IA64 at all?
[22:46] <blain> no
[22:46] <guest12158> Hi, Im installing 10.04 from a CD, first of all i get a small error saying the installation program encountered an error and will initiate a desktop session, in which i am currently, then I install it from here, everything goes normal but when it goes to reboot and ejects the CD, i get a screen full of I/O Errors, anyone know where to start?
[22:46] <blain> it's a completely different CPU
[22:46] <`boz> hi all I have downloaded and installed apiece of software through ubuntu softftware centre and i can't see it on the application list anyone know how to find it to run?
[22:46] <blain> guest12158 is your cd ok?
[22:46] <narcislinu> A
[22:46] <Slart> `boz: which app did you download?
[22:46] <guest12158> yes
[22:46] <`boz> slart qcad
[22:47] <Slart> `boz: try opening a terminal and typing qc <TAB>  see if it autocompletes it for you?
[22:47] <guest12158> blain: yes
[22:47] <`boz> cheers
[22:47] <dataHeist> Is it possible to mount a USB drive as non-root user under 9.10?
[22:48] <blain> guest12158 how did you customize your mount point layout?
[22:48] <`boz> no go slart
[22:48] <Slart> `boz: I think QCad should end up in one of the menus.. at least it did the last time I installed it.. perhaps it will show up after a reboot.. sometimes whatever the thing responsible for updating the menu doesn't quite work right away
[22:48] <Slart> `boz: hmm.. it installed alright? no errors?
[22:48] <`boz> looks ok
[22:48] <guest12158> blain: uh not sure, im just getting started on Ubuntu.
[22:48] <`boz> i installed twice
[22:48] <`boz> and rebooted
[22:49] <`boz> reports as being installed
[22:49] <vlt> guest12158: There's a "check cd for errors" in the very first menu when you boot it
[22:49] <slidinghorn> tim_, sorry, couldn't find anything that was out of place :-\
[22:49] <Slart> `boz: let me try installing it on my system.. see if it works here
[22:49] <guest12158> vit: yes i tried that, said CD is ok
[22:49] <`boz> thanks... using ubuntu 10.04 btw
[22:49] <tim_> slidinghorn, AHA! I deleted it and restarted the program and it's fixed.
[22:49] <tim_> slidinghorn, Thanks for your help!
[22:50] <Slart> `boz: hmm.. no menu item for me neither.. but typing "qcad" in the terminal worked
[22:50] <destroit> ubuntu español
[22:50] <slidinghorn> !es
[22:50] <bazhang> !es
[22:50] <`boz> i'll try that
[22:50] <bazhang> destroit, /join #ubuntu-es
[22:51] <slidinghorn> tim_, glad you got it working...sorry I couldn't be of more assistance though :)
[22:51] <`boz> worked here too
[22:51] <`boz> thanks slart
[22:51] <Traveler2> hey guys i need help connecting to the wireless internet with ubuntu
[22:51] <Slart> `boz: you're welcome
[22:51] <`boz> back to it.. by all
[22:52] <tim_> slidinghorn, But you helped a lot! I wouldn't have found that config file without you!
[22:52] <mark__> hi to all new to this o/s
[22:54] <bladescape> I am running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS x64 Edition, which I just installed last night on my Gateway M-7351U laptop. The machine is running on an Intel Core 2 Duo T4200 processor with 4 GB of RAM and an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500 (Mobile Intel GM45 Express Chipset Family) graphics card. I am using Orca magnification software. But my graphics are horrible. I read online that there may be some settings in xorg.conf that can be changed to resolve this but I
[22:54] <h00k> mark__: Some things that might help you would be the manual, and you can /join #ubuntu-beginners
[22:54] <h00k> !manual | mark__
[22:54] <mark__> help on windows dvdflick wat do news on this?
[22:55] <wrinkliez> does anyone know of a good way to make a ruby script an executable?
[22:56] <slidinghorn> wrinkliez, don't know if it would work for a ruby script but works for other things:  chmod +x scriptfile
[22:57] <mark__> thanks
[22:57] <Slart> bladescape: you got cut off after "resolve this but I"
[22:57] <Puffcio> hi, doesnt anyone can help me with my ubuntu question?! :D
[22:58] <slidinghorn> !ask | Puffcio
[22:58] <blain> what was the question?
[22:58] <wrinkliez> no thats making the .rb executable.  like for example, there are programs that are .py's (programmed in python), but you would need to install the entire python programming language to install it.  thats why they create an executable.  i want to do THAT with ruby.
[22:58] <bladescape> I just discovered that my /etc/X11/xorg.conf is blank. Is it supposed to be like that or if not how can I get it fixed?
[22:58] <Puffcio> ive installed ubuntu via wubi on windows 7 on partition "D"
[22:58] <Puffcio> i can see my windows partition
[22:58] <slidinghorn> bladescape, by default in 10.04 it is blank..you can edit it however you need to though
[22:59] <Puffcio> but not the partition "D"
[22:59] <sebsebseb> Puffcio: yeah Ubuntu won't boot?
[22:59] <Puffcio> where i has most of the stuff
[22:59] <delaman> Can I install Ubuntu 10.04 onto an SSD without problems?
[22:59] <mark__> i have got to hard drive on
[22:59] <vlt> bladescape: In recent Ubuntu versions this is on purpose
[22:59] <Puffcio> no no its running grat, i love it :D
[22:59] <vlt> bladescape: What exactly "looks horrible"?
[22:59] <bazhang> delaman, sure
[22:59] <trism> wrinkliez: perhaps http://www.erikveen.dds.nl/rubyscript2exe/ if you mean like py2exe which just embeds the interpreter in an executable and runs the script
[22:59] <slidinghorn> Puffcio, for future reference, try to keep questions/responses to one line (don't use the Enter key as punctuation)
[22:59] <sebsebseb> Puffcio: its  in the file system of wubi and then /hosts I think  to access Windows partition read only
[23:00] <L33tCh> hey... anyone here good with grub?
[23:00] <PaulM> is there a canonical PPA to grab python 2.7 from?
[23:00] <sebsebseb> Puffcio: also in the long run much better to use a partitoned install, plus  by doing so you can easilly access the data using the Live CD, can't do that with Wubi
[23:00] <bazhang> L33tCh, grub or grub2
[23:00] <dataHeist> L33tCh: I make a mean breakfast burrito :D
[23:00] <vlt> !anyone | L33tCh
[23:00] <delaman> bazhang: last time i tried my ssd went dead.  could have been that it was dead in the first place though im not 100% sure.
[23:00] <Puffcio> sebsebseb thank you
[23:00] <wrinkliez> trism:  thats what im looking for, yes, but rubyscript2exe is outdated and only works for windows nowadays
[23:00] <L33tCh> my brother had a wubi install of 10.04 that's causing probs so i guess grub2
[23:00] <sebsebseb> !dualboot | Puffcio
[23:01] <sebsebseb> Puffcio: and setting up a seperate /home before installing is useful :)
[23:01] <banished_> Hi, I've added ppa:brandonsnider/cdrtools to my package sources and did a dist-upgrade, yet I szill have wodim - what am I missing?
[23:01] <bladescape> The bottom task bar thing is not displaying in the Orca magnifier, on-screen windows are not displaying properly (broken, etc.). I don't know how else to describe it as I am visually impaired which is why I am using the magnifier. All I know is that it looks horribly wrong. I read online that there are some settings I can change in xorg.conf but as I said the file is blank.
[23:01] <MysteryX> Can I install a 64-bit Ubuntu inside a VMWare which runs on a 32-bit Ubuntu host?
[23:01] <PaulM> MysteryX: you should be able to
[23:01] <Puffcio> ive got no probs running on wubi its just ive tried to find those stuff, but now ive got it
[23:01] <itexus> slidinghorn, tried unetbootin, works! problem solved. thanks
[23:01] <slidinghorn> itexus, glad to hear it :)  no problem
[23:01] <PaulM> MysteryX: It won't necessarily be particularly efficient though
[23:01] <sebsebseb> Puffcio: right, but a proper partitioned install will run a bit better,  you may not notice it though
[23:02] <L33tCh> he apparently click sleep or something other than shutdown and after some message about swap not being large enough, grub loads to a grub prompt and not the grub menu... any ideas?
[23:02] <MysteryX> PaulM: Thanx
[23:02] <Puffcio> but i wantet first to try it for couple of days, during back up my data
[23:02] <sebsebseb> Puffcio: ok
[23:02] <sebsebseb> Puffcio: still got your ISO by the way?
[23:02] <Puffcio> then i will just completly get rid of windows 7
[23:02] <sebsebseb> Puffcio: ok that sounds good, but do you have WIndows apps that you want to run inside Ubuntu?
[23:03] <Puffcio> ive got the disk from ubuntu website and iso file on hard drive
[23:03] <blain> windows might come in handy even in a VM just in case
[23:03] <lordquackstar> How can I get to the grub menu in the Lucid Live CD? For me it immediatly boots without showing the menu
[23:03] <sebsebseb> blain: indeed
[23:03] <Puffcio> no, im just internet browser
[23:03] <Puffcio> nothing particular as long as i can listen to mymusic
[23:03] <sebsebseb> Puffcio: is that it, no 3D Windows games or whatever, just want to use a web browser and play music?
[23:03] <slidinghorn> lordquackstar, hold shift during boot -- that should bring up the grub2 menu
[23:04] <Puffcio> yes,
[23:04] <lordquackstar> slidinghorn: Ok, thanks
[23:04] <sebsebseb> Puffcio: ok right yeah you don't need Windows then
[23:04] <bladescape> Oh - I also read online that all the graphics issues may be due to my graphics card/drivers but I haven't found a solution for that.
[23:05] <sebsebseb> Puffcio: Really I shoudn't need to type this, because the Ubuntu website should be making it clear to people, but no, that before using an ISO it is a good idea to check it :)   So before you burn contents of the ISO  to a CD and install Ubuntu from it properly, after removing Wubi.
[23:05] <sebsebseb> Puffcio: its a good tip.  and good practice
[23:06] <sebsebseb> !md5sum
[23:06] <blain> use a usb drive
[23:06] <sebsebseb> !hashes
[23:06] <blain> and save media
[23:06] <sebsebseb> blain: even if using the ISO with a USB drive, should check it first
[23:06] <blain> apps already do that
[23:06] <blain> and will download it for him
[23:06] <L33tCh> ok, problem in a nutshell... wubi 10.04 install runnign fine. then hibernate or something chosen instead of shutdown and now after choosing ubuntu form teh windows boot menu, we jsut get a grub prompt.. anyone know how I can fix that?
[23:06] <Puffcio> ive got proper ubuntu cd, ordered from their website, so i dont need to burn iso
[23:07] <sebsebseb> blain: if ISO is from HTTP/FTP nothing will check it for him,  if he downloaded from a torrent, he could check in the torrent program that everything was downloaded
[23:07] <sebsebseb> Puffcio: or right yeah, use that
[23:07] <vlt> bladescape: Seems quite old, but have you read this? http://live.gnome.org/Orca/Magnification
[23:07] <L33tCh> and can anyone tell me what the lates kernel version is? this is so i can try the commands manually in grub (well, latest yesterday if it's different to today)
[23:07] <user01> how do i make server download and install aptitude updates daily at 4am?
[23:08] <user01> user01, with cron?
[23:08] <blain> using cron
[23:08] <sebsebseb> L33tCh: Ubuntu won't be using the very latest kernel version, since you don't need it.  anyway uname -r  to find out what kernel you are running
[23:08] <blain> L33tCh kernel.org
[23:08] <vlt> bladescape: Though a GM45 card should be supported out of the box ... hmmm
[23:08] <Jordan_U> L33tCh: Just use "ls /boot/" to see what kernels you have.
[23:08] <slidinghorn> !cron > user01
[23:08] <L33tCh> problem is we can;t get past grub, so any bash commands... not an option :(
[23:08] <L33tCh> ah, didn't think of that... work in grub?
[23:09] <Jordan_U> L33tCh: Yes, "ls /boot/" works in grub.
[23:09] <L33tCh> thanks... will get him to try that...
[23:09] <vlt> L33tCh: grub supports tab auto-completion (for the exact file names)
[23:09] <ridin> how can i rename my computer
[23:09] <Jordan_U> !hostname | ridin
[23:09] <blain> ridin hostname
[23:10] <L33tCh> vlt: thought so but when we type vmlin and hit tab, jsut moves to a new line (same text) anyway, trying to list the dir now...
[23:10] <vlt> user01: Have a look at pkg cron-apt
[23:10] <bladescape> If this helps, there were no errors during Ubuntu install, and before Ubuntu I was running Windows Vista Home Premium x64 with excellent graphics. I love the Ubuntu OS except for the graphics issue. I've searched high and low around the Web for a solution to the problem but couldn't find one that worked for me so I thought I'd ask here.
[23:10] <user01> vlt, ok
[23:11] <ridin> ok i did sudo gedit /etc/hosts and there was my hostname, do i just change the hostname
[23:11] <vlt> bladescape: I never used orca. Can you check the behaviour on another machine? Just to verify that it is an X server issue?
[23:12] <user01> slidinghorn, so if i do a crontab of aptitude dist-upgrade it will answer the prompts?
[23:12] <mountainman5> Hey guys, newbie here, how do you check the md5sum of a cd that you have burned an .iso image of the ubuntu OS to?
[23:13] <blain> ridin no, use hostname command
[23:13] <slidinghorn> user01, well first, let me ask, how often are you planning on doing a dist upgrade?  that should be a very rare occasion...
[23:13] <bladescape> When I used Ubuntu on my desktop machine running NVIDIA GeForce 6200 graphics on an Intel Celeron 2.40GHz processor and 1 GB RAM Orca worked wonderfully and there were no graphics issues at all. Mind you this was at the end of last year and I was using Ubuntu 9.10 not 10.04 as it hadn't been released yet.
[23:13] <ridin> blain, according to the bot if i want it perm i have to change /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname
[23:14] <sebsebseb> !md5sum | mountainman5
[23:14] <sebsebseb> !hashes
[23:14] <blain> yeah, rght /etc/hostname but not /etc/hosts
[23:14] <delaman> mountainman5: you can only do a md5sum with an iso
[23:14] <L33tCh> ok, boot folder is empty :(  anyone know how i can get files from a wubi partition
[23:14] <ridin> blain, it said if it's not matched then sudo won't work
[23:15] <vlt> mountainman5: Two options: check the whole disk `md5sum /dev/cdrom` but there might be errors if the device has not the same size as the iso had (I experienced this with some cd writers) or use the built-in md5sum check from the boot menu
[23:15] <blain> sudo vi /etc/hostname
[23:15] <user01> slidinghorn, why do you say that?
[23:15] <L33tCh> well, wubi partition file i guess...
[23:15] <user01> slidinghorn, aptitude dist-upgrade gets updates to the currently installed packages, including any new packages which are now required
[23:15] <vlt> mountainman5: ... which checks every single file  -- except itself ;-)
[23:15] <ridin> what does vi do?
[23:16] <blain> text editor
[23:17] <slidinghorn> user01, dist upgrade upgrades the entire distro -- doesn't only update packages.  I'd recommend cron-apt to set up regular apt-get update && apt-get upgrade...see here for the difference b/t upgrade & dist-upgrade http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/whats-the-difference-between-apt-get-upgrade-and-apt-get-dist-upgrade-165998/
[23:18] <vlt> !who | bladescape
[23:18] <slidinghorn> user01, here's the package info for cron-apt: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/cron-apt
[23:18] <vlt> bladescape: So, looks like a gm45 problem indee
[23:18] <vlt> s
[23:18] <L33tCh> is it possible to get to files saved in a wubi installation if you are not able to boot into said installation any more?
[23:19] <vlt> indeed, even
[23:19] <user01> slidinghorn, it updates the most recent packages?  http://www.shallowsky.com/blog/linux/debian-upgrades.html
[23:19] <vlt> L33tCh: Boot a live cd and mount the file system you want access to
[23:20] <L33tCh> vlt: the files were saved in the wubi file system which i assume is a file on an NTFS partition in windows... any idea how to mount that?
[23:20] <bladescape> vlt: What about the blank xorg.conf file? There are some solutions I can try to fix the issue that require me to edit xorg.conf but if it is blank can I still use those solutions?
[23:20] <vlt> L33tCh: mount has an "-o loop" option
[23:21] <vlt> bladescape: I haven't  touch an xorg.conf in years ...
[23:21] <vlt> *touched
[23:21] <L33tCh> similar to used when mounting an iso then?
[23:21]  * vlt needs to sleep
[23:22] <erUSUL> L33tCh: yes
[23:22] <bladescape> vlt: If xorg.conf is blank is there another way to configure the X server or is there a sample xorg.conf file that I can use as a starting point for implementing the solutions I've found?
[23:23] <slidinghorn> user01, it really depends on what you're trying to do...if you're just doing a routine update of the system, apt-get update is recommended -- it does dependency checking and skips upgrading if there's a conflict (which I believe cron-apt can output any errors, warnings etc so you can check if this happened)
[23:23] <L33tCh> thanks... anyway, brother's gone to sleep, so i guess can't do any more now...
[23:23] <vlt> bladescape: I think you can override the automatically detected values simply by editing xorg.conf, yes
[23:24] <erUSUL> bladescape: try this. « sudo Xorg -configure :1 » if it works it will create a xorg.conf in /root/
[23:25] <bladescape> vlt: one of the solutions I've found was to enable UXA support by adding a certain line to xorg.conf. This solution was for Ubuntu 9.04 though so I don't know if UXA has been enabled by default in 10.04. Apparently UXA provides greater performance for Intel graphics cards such as mine. Do you kmnow if UXA is enabled by default in 10.04?
[23:29] <Lazyvee> hello everyone! I have a problem: I cannot watch flash videos (like Youtube videos) in Firefox. It seems it sucks up all my resources so even thought the sound is OK the images barely move! what can I do to solve this?
[23:29] <vlt> Lazyvee: With HTML5
[23:29]  * vlt ducks
[23:30] <Lazyvee> vlt: oh, so HTML5 is the culprit huh
[23:30] <Lazyvee> haha
[23:30] <thune3> Lazyvee: this is fullscreen, or regular sized?
[23:30] <Lazyvee> well, let's e-mail Youtube
[23:31] <Lazyvee> regular sized
[23:31] <jcompute000> Does anyone know how compatible this computer is with Ubuntu if the most graphics I will probably be using are things like Compiz: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Compaq+-+Presario+Desktop+with+AMD+Athlon%26%23153%3B+II+Dual-Core+Processor/9693859.p?id=1218152062935&skuId=9693859
[23:31] <Lazyvee> I installed Ubuntu today, i'm still trying things out
[23:31] <fipu> useradd -g 0 -u 0 myuser
[23:31] <fipu> useradd: UID 0 is not unique
[23:31] <fipu> what can I do to fix that?
[23:31] <fipu> I want a secondary root user
[23:31] <soreau> jcompute000: What gpu does it have?
[23:31] <fipu> and this user must have full permissions
[23:32] <jcompute000> NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE
[23:33] <Lazyvee> thune3: regular sized videos
[23:33] <jcompute000> soreau: NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE
[23:33] <thune3> Lazyvee: did you install adobe flash player?
[23:33] <bricky> hey I gave up on my wifi problem, is there anyway to make your internet dl quicker
[23:34] <Lazyvee> thune3: yes I installed adobe flash player
[23:34] <fipu> Can anyone help me with my user problem please?
[23:34] <robertzaccour> how do i get chromium browser buttons on the left like everything else is?
[23:34] <Dulak> fipu: put the user in the admin group and they can use 'sudo -i' to get a root shell anytime they need it
[23:34] <soreau> jcompute000: I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. That card can run compiz just fine, as long as the driver is willing to cooperate
[23:34] <feurig> anyone know how to talk to usb devices without escallating privilages the udev rules in lucid seem to be pretty foobard
[23:36]  * feurig thinks that whoever keeps saying thats normal has been listing to too much glen beck.
[23:36] <thune3> Lazyvee: i can only think that you might have very low power cpu, or you have a graphics driver issue. (flash is normally resource hungry in linux)
[23:36] <feurig> anyways. I here this channel can be more useful than google sometimes.
[23:37] <ivano> #ubuntu-it
[23:37] <jcompute000> soreau: That is the issue that I am concerned about. I know conceptually it should run fine, but I also know that some grapics cards give certian driver problems that will cause them not to be able to do things like 3D rendering. I just got done with another computer (an older on, so I kind of expected it) that had that issue. I was just wondering if anyone knows for sure whether that will work. Also, what about a computer with
[23:38] <Lazyvee> thune3: maybe it's a graphics driver issue, but I don't know how to check (I'm new to Ubuntu)
[23:38] <ridin> ok, i changed my hostname perma, but now my mounted devices "WALKMAN" and "New Volume" are changed into "WALKMAN_" and "New Volume_", what gives
[23:38]  * feurig can has typing and grammar...
[23:39] <bladescape1> erUSUL: "xorg: command not found"
[23:39] <soreau> jcompute000: Every graphics driver has it's own set of problems, there's no denying that. However, while nvidia is proprietary, doesn't cooperate with OSS devs and deosn't even support xrandr1.2 yet, also with the lack of general community support you get (from actual driver devs), I see radeon as a much better bet
[23:39] <erUSUL> bladescape1: Xorg ( capital X )
[23:39] <thune3> Lazyvee: can you show me the 'product' and the 'driver' show when you run "lshw -C video"
[23:39] <soreau> jcompute000: The radeon driver is OSS, is already better than it's proprietary counterpart in most areas, supports xrandr fully and you have limitless support from real radeon driver devs in #radeon
[23:40] <jcompute000> soreau: Ok, thanks for you help. I mostly wish there was a way I could test it at the store, but I'm sure Best Buy and company would not appreciate me using an Ubuntu live CD on their floor models, lol.
[23:40] <jenda> When I send an email with attachments in Thunderbird and I press cancel before it completes sending (it took quite a while), is there a chance the recipient receives part of the message?
[23:41] <nibblebot> what does it mean when I can find a package via apt-cache search but when i go to apt-get install it, it says 'E: Package X has no installation candidate'
[23:42] <euthymos> hi I found jetty installed on my system, listening on port 8080 and I never installed it
[23:42] <soreau> jcompute000: Dude, ask the sales guy.. I bet he might let you if there's no store policy against that kind of thing (doesnt hurt to ask ;)
[23:42] <Lazyvee> thune3: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/Md99iZBd
[23:43] <valentinex> Hello, for some people i saw that they have a cute small buttom panel, which shows minimized application icons only, how to do so?
[23:43] <jcompute000> soreau: Yea, thanks. I may do that. But also, I am not sure how much I can test from the live CD. Obviously, if it works right off the bat, then I am golden. But if I have to install a driver, then I don't know if the live CD will be an easy way to test that.
[23:43] <bastidrazor> valentinex: you mean like cairo-dock ?
[23:44] <valentinex> bastidrazor: yes i think something like that, will that make my pc slow? my ubuntu is already slow with my system
[23:44] <valentinex> bastidrazor: how to get that cairo dock?
[23:45] <soreau> jcompute000: If it has a internet connection, just install the nvidia driver with jockey (sys>admin>hardware drivers) then when it asks you to reboot, restart gdm instead from tty
[23:45] <blackstar256> is this the chatroom to talk about games on ubuntu?
[23:45] <feurig> anyone have any insight  on the udev changes in 10.4? all of my userland usb devices are requiring privilage escallation..
[23:45] <fipu> problem clear ;)
[23:46] <bastidrazor> valentinex: it will add load to your box yes,   sudo apt-get install cairo-dock   .. you can start it with 'cairo-dock -c'  the -c option will not require it to use opengl
[23:46] <jcompute000> soreau: Although I don't have much practice, because I don't install Ubuntu on tons of different machines (I'm not rich), I think I could manage that much, though thanks for clarifying, it may have taken me longer to figure out. However, I would feel aquward standing there doing all that on a floor model, even if they say its ok.
[23:46] <valentinex> bastidrazor: oh will add load, then i wont install :(
[23:46] <soreau> jcompute000: Rock out with your cock out xD
[23:46]  * soreau hides
[23:47] <bastidrazor> valentinex: any program you run will add load.
[23:47] <jcompute000> soreau: Also, do you know if an Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X4500 would have any better or worse chance of working?
[23:47] <Ankhwatcher> hey, I'm having problems with the deluge webui on my server
[23:47] <bladescape1> erUSUL: thanks - I didn't see the capital X. An xorg.conf file was generated successfully and now I'm editing it to employ some of the solutions I found online.
[23:47] <Ankhwatcher> I can't get it to come up
[23:47] <bastidrazor> valentinex: you can test it out. if you don't like it then just uninstall it.
[23:47] <Niglop> Everytime i log onto linux nothing responds and i have to restart x display everytime for it to work? it wasnt doing this before
[23:47] <valentinex> bastidrazor: ok thank you i try
[23:47] <soreau> jcompute000: Probably worse since the state of the intel drivers is not very good and integrated chips are just inferior
[23:48] <jcompute000> soreau: Thats what I figured, although thats odd, since I am currently looking at three different computers, and the most expensive of the three (they are all under $600) is the only one that has the Intel instead of the nVidia
[23:49] <soreau> jcompute000: Ideally, I'd recommend an r5-7xx card which means X1300-X1950 and and of the HDxxxx series
[23:49] <bastidrazor> valentinex: there is also avant-window-navigator .. it may require less resources to run than cairo-dock but that is an assumption. i have not tested to verify

[15:25] <OerHeks> jups https://packages.ubuntu.com/disco/linux-image-generic
[15:34] <hggdh> a word of caution: upstream released, already a patchset for 5.0.0 (now 5.0.1). Given this patchset was released very quickly, I would expect there are a few serious issues on 5.0.0
[15:35] <hggdh> of course, I have not yet looked at the fixlist, so...
[15:37] <hggdh> just for completeness, /proc/version_signature states Ubuntu's kernel is based on upstream 5.0.0

[18:35] <letterrip> hi all trying to get libsnmp30 up to date - https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/bx2Vq9JNGD/
[18:35] <letterrip> then with dpkg i check the depended file - https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/5yYGQFVWqs/
[18:36] <letterrip> so it seems like i meet the requirements?
[18:36] <letterrip> any ideas?
[18:38] <lordcirth> letterrip, have you done an 'apt update && apt upgrade' recently?
[18:41] <lordcirth> Partial upgrades can cause that sort of thing sometimes
[18:43] <letterrip> yes but will do again to be sure
[18:43] <letterrip> The following packages have been kept back:
[18:43] <letterrip>   libsnmp30 lm-sensors

[18:44] <lordcirth> try apt full-upgrade
[18:44] <lordcirth> And 'apt -f install'
[18:45] <letterrip> neither worked, it perhaps doesn't like the oibaf mesa repository versions for some reason, even though they meet the requirements stated
[18:47] <lordcirth> So, you are running a third party repo?
[18:49] <letterrip> lordcirth - http://ppa.launchpad.net/oibaf/graphics-drivers/ubuntu
[18:49] <letterrip> but as I said the versions match the requirements
[18:49] <lordcirth> letterrip, third-party repositories aren't supported
[18:49] <letterrip> will purge it and see if it works
[18:51] <letterrip> lordcirth, i don't think the package that is of issue is provided by that, only the mesa drivers but will purge to be sure
