[17:45] <creat0r> theadmin: i need some basic tools like iftop and come integrated with most *nx systems
[17:45] <carael> what can i do
[17:45] <carael> ?
[17:45] <FloodBot2> carael: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:45] <rallias> greezmunkey: I've tried, it won't connect to multiple things at once
[17:45] <theadmin> onetinsoldier: *sigh* sucks not to have a terminal at hand :D
[17:45] <wizo> hey, im trying to isntall gitosis, and when i run sudo -H -u gitosis gitosis-init < /tmp/id_rsa.pub, it says git is not in the sudoers file. what can i do to overcome this?
[17:45] <greezmunkey> rallias: does what I typed approximate what you want to do?
[17:45] <onetinsoldier> theadmin: wth? you don't have a term right now? that would suck
[17:45] <rallias> greezmunkey: yes
[17:45] <theadmin> onetinsoldier: Yup, I'm on backdoors ^W windows
[17:46] <jamesw> for my netbook , unr vs ubuntu light vs ubuntu netbook edition: what should i install?
[17:46] <coz_> beware,  in the mean time while in the text console   did you try    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[17:46] <rallias> greezmunkey: i have eth0 as shared to other computers, wireless connected via an encrypted network, and I can't get windows vista to connect through Ubuntu to the internet
[17:46] <onetinsoldier> theadmin: roger... bummer :-(
[17:46] <beware> yes
[17:46] <beware> im right now booting <IP_ADDRESS> from the menu
[17:46] <greezmunkey> rallias: one thing bewfore you proceed with that, the shared connection will force a subnet of 10.42.42.X on the eth0 interface, but it will hand out addresses via dhcp on eth0, so that's ok.
[17:46] <beware> to see if that can go into X
[17:46] <theadmin> onetinsoldier: Not my fault that I can't install anything to this computer...
[17:46] <coz_> beware,   ok
[17:47] <greezmunkey> rallias: 10.42.43.x, sorry
[17:47] <theadmin> onetinsoldier: "anything" as in OS terms
[17:47] <bp0> is computer janitor just the most useless thing ever?
[17:47] <theadmin> bp0: Heh, yeah, find it so :D
[17:47] <AbuBadr> coz_, http://paste.ubuntu.com/433924/
[17:47] <rallias> greezmunkey: do you how to connect vista through that eth0 port?
[17:47] <DrGrov> Anyone know how to help with getting Java running in Ubuntu 10.04 with Firefox 3.6.x?
[17:47] <bp0> should be more like ubuntu tweak's cleanup thing
[17:47] <greezmunkey> rallias: set vista to recieve ip address via dhcp, "automatically"
[17:48] <beware> hm. i tried "upgrade", but not "dist-upgrade", i'll try that when i get there
[17:48] <coz_> AbuBadr,   ok that is a 64 bit hardware   you could just install the 64bit ubuntu version
[17:48] <theadmin> DrGrov: Add the Partner repo and then install sun-java6-plugin
[17:48] <rallias> how do i make it do that?
[17:48] <theadmin> !partner | DrGrov
[17:48] <onetinsoldier> theadmin: apt-file is great for searching for, and/or listing.... files that are not installed on your system. you can list an entire list of files installed by package name, even if the package is not installed on your system
[17:48] <Segura> I have some issues with my conky file... I'm trying to load 2 conky config, the first load an image as a "background" and also some information. The second load more info. But the "background" image covers that second config.. Anyone know how do it properly?
[17:48] <greezmunkey> rallias: also, dns will be served as well
[17:48] <coz_> AbuBadr,  then the system should see all of the memory :)
[17:48] <DrGrov> theadmin: can you pm me how to install it?
[17:48] <drizzt_> rallias, you need dnsmasq or something equivalent on ubuntu
[17:48] <DrGrov> theadmin: pm the information instead. it is faster
[17:48] <wizo> hey, im trying to isntall gitosis, and when i run sudo -H -u gitosis gitosis-init < /tmp/id_rsa.pub, it says git is not in the sudoers file. what can i do to overcome this?
[17:48] <AbuBadr> coz_, is there any easier way?
[17:49] <drizzt_> rallias, can you ping internet sites by their IPs?
[17:49] <AbuBadr> coz_, the way mezen told me!
[17:49] <beware> it's stuck on fsck without progress indication and without disk activity

[17:49] <coz_> AbuBadr,  that is the other options....its one that i would not perform on a 64 bit hardware system though    I have never tried that
[17:49] <rallias> when i try to connect to a network it tries to get me to connect to a wifi connection
[17:49] <coz_> AbuBadr,  however it may work but I am not the one to guide you on that
[17:49] <theadmin> onetinsoldier: Woah... thanks
[17:50] <AbuBadr> coz_, ok i c  thanks
[17:50] <drizzt_> rallias, so you cannot connect to ubuntu machine via wireless?
[17:50] <mezen> AbuBadr, install a 32bits PAE kernel
[17:50] <mezen> AbuBadr, that's what I have
[17:50] <onetinsoldier> theadmin: you're welcome. it's very handing for when you're compiling source code.. and you're like, where's that file come from? apt-file search will show it real quick if it's in a package in the repos
[17:51] <onetinsoldier> handy*
[17:51] <AbuBadr> mezen, from where? and how?
[17:51] <Segura> noone knows?

[17:52] <coz_> AbuBadr,  just in case     I personally would walk you through it but I dont have experience with th at

[17:52] <drizzt_> greezmunkey, of course 1 one, second never gives trouble
[17:52] <franco> ciao

[17:54] <om26er> what do I do so that my btrfs usb can be read/write on any linux machine?
[17:54] <greezmunkey> rallias: I was thinking you already had that
[17:54] <AbuBadr> mezen, thats it??
[17:54] <greezmunkey> rallias: look here: http://beginlinux.wordpress.com/2010/03/25/shared-wire-connection-in-ubuntu/
[17:54] <mezen> AbuBadr, follow the commands I gave you
[17:54] <beware> ive performed an update and dist-upgrade. no new packages
[17:54] <enovativ> if I have a samba server running on my ubuntu....how can figure out it's name
[17:55] <VladimirBG> is there a good sync app for mobiles that does not require thinkering with text config files? I need to sync contacts, calendat and todo between my phone and thunderbird with lightning
[17:55] <enovativ> i am trying to access a linux share thru windows using : net use s:\\SAMBA server\share name
[17:55] <GeekSquid> VladimirBG: what mobile? I use the google suite, and it just works
[17:56] <zrl33> hihi
[17:56] <enovativ> can anyone help  ?
[17:56] <rallias> greezmunkey: it allready is
[17:56] <Oer> Segura   answer # 6  >> http://conky.sourceforge.net/faq.html
[17:56] <VladimirBG> GeekSquid, nokia n82
[17:56] <AbuBadr> mezen, ok
[17:56] <drizzt_> enovativ, no
[17:56] <zrl33> I connect with ssh to a desktop-pc in the network. I write xhost and the console xhost:  unable to open display ""
[17:57] <VladimirBG> but I really need local sync since a lot of the time I spend offline with my laptop
[17:57] <enovativ> drizzt_: no what ?
[17:57] <zrl33> what can i do?
[17:57] <Segura> thx to aswer 0er
[17:57] <Segura> answer*
[17:57] <greezmunkey> rallias: are you running ufw, firewall?
[17:57] <drizzt_> enovativ, we cannot help you if you don't state your problem clearly
[17:57] <enovativ> drizzt_: are you saying that it is not possible
[17:57] <AbuBadr> mezen, it is downloading something
[17:58] <enovativ> i want to access a linux share in windows
[17:58] <rallias> greezmunkey: none that i know of on either of these two machines
[17:58] <mezen> AbuBadr, yes and it will install the new kernel just after download
[17:58] <BluesKaj> zrl33, windows pc ?
[17:58] <drizzt_> enovativ, so what's the problem?
[17:58] <enovativ> i need to figure out the name of the SAMBA server
[17:58] <GeekSquid> VladimirBG: use google http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=98230&topic=15015 ... really easy way to sync
[17:58] <om26er> !permissions
[17:58] <mezen> AbuBadr, follow all commands I gave you and all things will be fine. Now I have to go, i'll catch you later if you want.
[17:58] <aule> !controls
[17:58] <greezmunkey> rallias: work your way through the link I posted, I used to use that type of connection all the time.
[17:58] <enovativ> so i am trying to figure that out....if i truly have the SAMBA server running on my ubuntu laptop
[17:58] <drizzt_> enovativ, type hostname on the server or browse the network
[17:58] <zrl33> BluesKaj: with putty, yes. but i can test it from ubuntu too
[17:59] <enovativ> drizzt_: in windows
[17:59] <enovativ>  ?
[17:59] <AbuBadr> mezen, ok thanks man
[17:59] <VladimirBG> GeekSquid, at the moment, I'm using w7 and I sync my phone using ovi suite and outlook, but I'll be getting a new laptop, and was hoping to switch to ubuntu
[17:59] <enovativ> drizzt_: I tried to see the laptop in my network in windows and couldn't see it
[17:59] <drizzt_> enovativ, in windows, just type \\<your linux host name here> in Run box
[17:59] <zrl33> BluesKaj: or is this no differenz?
[17:59] <enovativ> drizzt_: ok
[18:00] <drizzt_> enovativ, if this doen't work try \\<linux host ip here>
[18:00] <VladimirBG> GeekSquid, that us for gmail accounts, right? But I need to have contacts and calendat synced with email/calendar app localy
[18:00] <rallias> how do i use dnsmasq
[18:00] <enovativ> drizzt_: thanks
[18:00] <drizzt_> rallias, you install it and it works
[18:01] <VladimirBG> VladimirBG, I don't have permanent internet connection, that is why I need to sync to laptop
[18:01] <GeekSquid> VladimirBG: ugh, get a real phone, nokia's software is so 286, go android and you will never go back
[18:01] <drizzt_> VladimirBG, I doubt highly that such soft exists
[18:02] <rallias> drizzt_ i don't know how to use it
[18:02] <enovativ> drizzt_: it worked....thanks !
[18:03] <ManDay> drizzt_, where do I set the composing key? I remember that with the alternate install i could set it up at install but how about a vanilla installation?
[18:03] <ManDay> how many configs will i have to edit? 2, maybe 3 dozen?
[18:03] <VladimirBG> GeekSquid, I like android, but I don't have one, and probaubly wont buy a new phone for at least a year, so I guess your point is no sync app for ubuntu can do what I would like?
[18:03] <ManDay> how much hair will i loose through the process?
[18:03] <monk>  hey all. i'm using an older laptop which causes some issues. I cant seem to install full distro from a disk. i had to install ubuntu from the minimal (CLI), and install everything that way. after that,everything  seems to work except for audio. any suggestions?
[18:04] <drizzt_> ManDay, if in Gnome, check keyboard settings; for console do 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup'
[18:04] <greezmunkey> rallias: ok, that link was less than useless...Are you connected to the internet on your ubox via wireless, or wired?
[18:04] <DuctTapeCoder> Guys, why do I think this looks so hot? http://i2.ytimg.com/vi/EDwb9jOVRtU/hqdefault.jpg
[18:04] <monk> drizzt_ - master of the scimitar!
[18:04] <rallias> greezmunkey i fixed it it was a hardware issue
[18:04] <Guest45186> hello all
[18:05] <rsk> DuctTapeCoder probably a hardware issue
[18:05] <marienz> DuctTapeCoder: this is #ubuntu.
[18:05] <greezmunkey> rallias: really, do tell.
[18:05] <AbuBadr_> coz_, after reboot i got 3.7 GiB RAM :)
[18:05] <Segura> 0er It doesent work :/
[18:05] <monk> hello Guest45186
[18:05] <marienz> DuctTapeCoder: I lost count of how often we've told you to keep that stuff contained to the right channels.
[18:05] <Segura> Oer, it doesn't work
[18:05] <ebraminio> hi everybody
[18:05] <beware> right now my problem can be summarized as: i need to get the linux-restricted-modules for the kernel i'm running (which i got through automatic update)
[18:05] <ebraminio> I have a problem with nvidia dirver
[18:06] <DuctTapeCoder> marienz, yes.
[18:06] <DuctTapeCoder> :(
[18:06] <beware> ebraminio: unable to get into graphics mode, can't find the nvidia driver?
[18:06] <Guest45186> im new to ubuntu very new
[18:06] <elhobab> Hi, i've some problem with a program called renpy here is the past http://www.ubuntu.pastebin.com/QSQdCaPP
[18:06] <GeekSquid> VladimirBG: it looks like opensync will do it, I am still looking for a recent version, hold on
[18:06] <coz_> AbuBadr_,  there you go :)
[18:06] <arand> !hi | Guest45186
[18:06] <DuctTapeCoder> Yes, now I remember my question...
[18:06] <enovativ> elhobab: what is renpy
[18:06] <DuctTapeCoder> Is this the right question to ask about Ubuntu Server?
[18:06] <rallias> Greezmunkey: it was the wrong kind of cable.
[18:06] <ebraminio> exit
[18:06] <coz_> beware,  ok done compiling ...let me check updates
[18:06] <AbuBadr_> coz_, yeah but not all the 4 GB :)   but its ok for me
[18:07] <beware> ok
[18:07] <drizzt_> rallias, what do you want to know about dnsmasq?
[18:07] <DuctTapeCoder> My ISP asked me if I wanted to migrate from CentOS to Ubuntu Server.
[18:07] <rallias> greezmunkey: how do i make it give it an ip address
[18:07] <zrl33> I writte over ssh from a ubuntu pc to a ubuntupc :   zrl3@zrl3-desktop:~$ DISPLAY=:0.0 gnome-screensaver-command --lock                 it returns   ** Message: Failed to connect to the D-BUS daemon: /bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally with the following error: Autolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.
[18:07] <arand> DuctTapeCoder: Here or #ubuntu-server, depending.
[18:07] <ManDay> drizzt_, cool i found it - hey that was easy - no cfgs at all!
[18:07] <enovativ> kinda classic to be sitting here on my linux laptop talking to you all...and watching some old Star Wars movies...lol
[18:07] <greezmunkey> rallias: Doh!
[18:07] <zrl33> what can i do?
[18:07] <greezmunkey> rallias: you want to share your Internet wireless through eth0, right.
[18:07] <coz_> beware,  ok on lucid I apparently already have the new kernel and the nvidia driver is working fine here
[18:07] <rallias> greezmunkey: you don't say do you
[18:08] <beware> coz_: which kernel version?
[18:08] <zrl33> anybod< a idea?
[18:08] <rallias> greezmunkey: I have installed 6284 packages trying to fix this issue
[18:09] <elhobab> enovativ, Ren'Py is a free and cross-platform visual novel engine that helps you use words, pictures, and sounds to tell stories with the computer
[18:09] <enovativ> elhobab: awesome
[18:09] <elhobab> enovativ, http://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/Home_Page
[18:09] <coz_> beware,  2.6.32-22
[18:09] <greezmunkey> rallias: in network manager, for eth0 select method shared to others (or the like) at that point eth0 will want to had out addresses in subnet 10.42.43.X - set your vist to dhcp and you should be good to go.
[18:10] <beware> i dont even have 2.6.32-22, i have 2.6.21-20
[18:10] <beware> erm
[18:10] <beware> 2.6.31-20*
[18:10] <rallias> i feel like an idiot
[18:10] <beware> my restricted modules has nothing later than 2.6.28-17
[18:10] <greezmunkey> rallias: ??
[18:11] <coz_> beware,  this is lucid?
[18:11] <beware> yes
[18:11] <beware> sources-list also says lucid
[18:11] <elhobab> enovativ, yes it is
[18:11] <tuxx> hi
[18:11] <coz_> beware,   the current kernel for lucid is  2.6.32-22
[18:11] <Guest45186> are xubuntu and ubuntu basically the same?
[18:11] <beware> i believe you, but my system isn't upgrading
[18:12] <coz_> Guest45186,  well the Desktop environments are different
[18:12] <beware> it upgraded yesterday, and broke itself
[18:12] <beware> and now update and dist-upgrade does nothing
[18:12] <arand> !xubuntu | Guest45186
[18:12] <GeekSquid> VladimirBG: sudo apt-get install opensync-plugin-gnokii opensync-plugin-evolution libopensync0 ... see this post although it is outdated http://www.linuxscrew.com/2007/09/12/nokia-e-series-sync-with-evolution-via-bluetooth-in-ubuntu/
[18:12] <coz_> Guest45186,  they look different and of course the menuing system is different  but how it funtions overall should be the same
[18:12] <L0L> what would be bether: a wrapper for the firewire stack or an udev rule, that allready is in a script that i wrote to the ubuntu wiki, so non-roots can acess firewire
[18:12] <R0b0t1> Hello. I did a fresh reinstall of Ubuntu 9.10, because updating to 10.04 borked my system. On my new install, it is unable to use wired or wireless. I have a working cat5 cable plugged into it, and it does not seem to see it.
[18:12] <elhobab> so, someone can explain me just the error if it's possible  http://www.ubuntu.pastebin.com/QSQdCaPP
[18:12] <R0b0t1> My router is working. It is an ubuntu problem. So don't suggest it.
[18:13] <onetinsoldier> Guest45186: yes. xubuntu has a lighter window manager/environment, takes up less resources ...so in that respect they are different
[18:13] <drizzt_> why the hell Ubuntu wants to remove network manager when I'm removing ppp?
[18:13] <beware> i have linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic installed
[18:13] <VladimirBG> GeekSquid,
[18:13] <VladimirBG> thanks
[18:13] <erUSUL> drizzt_: becouse NM depends on ppp ?
[18:13] <drizzt_> Guest45186, Xubuntu uses the same resources as Gnome, has poorer support and less functionality
[18:13] <beware> but its not in grub
[18:13] <Tazer> Hello does anyone know of a program to mass convert pdf files to cbr or cbz?
[18:14] <Guest45186> so ubuntu would be safer?
[18:14] <greezmunkey> beware: I had the same issue upgrading to lucid. The kernel wouldn't roll to the latest for some reason. I ended up backing up a few things and installing clean. Thanks to this channel, I had a seperate /home.
[18:14] <drizzt_> erUSUL, why does it depends on it? that's stupid idea
[18:14] <rallias> finally i got it to wrok
[18:14] <beware> i don't want to do that
[18:14] <L0L> who has problems here with firewire?
[18:14] <beware> i'm on grub 1, btw
[18:14] <erUSUL> drizzt_: broadband connectioons and some dsl connections use ppp
[18:14] <arand> drizzt_: Likely it's made as a part of NM, it may be that it's just not made modular enough to allow it.
[18:14] <greezmunkey> rallias: excellent!
[18:15] <Tazer> No one? >:
[18:15] <drizzt_> arand, I don't believe that, they were separate in previous versions
[18:15] <drizzt_> just one more maintainer f*kup I think
[18:15] <beware> ok i edited menu.lst, trying to boot into 32-22 now
[18:16] <R0b0t1> Hello. I did a fresh reinstall of Ubuntu 9.10, because updating to 10.04 borked my system. On my new install, it is unable to use wired or wireless. I have a working cat5 cable plugged into it, and it does not seem to see it.
[18:16] <coz_> beware,   so this is an upgrade  not a clean install?

[18:18] <R0b0t1> Hello. I did a fresh reinstall of Ubuntu 9.10, because updating to 10.04 borked my system. On my new install, it is unable to use wired or wireless. I have a working cat5 cable plugged into it, and it does not seem to see it.
[18:18] <chandrageetha> i cannot actually understand the problem, and what to do next

[18:19] <chandrageetha> mr. drizzt, what is radeon driver?
[18:19] <beware> the automatic update yesterday botched it
[18:19] <drizzt_> chandrageetha, your video driver, for your ATI RadeOn card
[18:19] <onetinsoldier> R0b0t1: what do you get if you type in 'ifconfig'? use pastebin for multiple lines
[18:19] <beware> it got me into the wrong kernel version, it seems
[18:20] <chandrageetha> yes, mr. drizzt, so what to do?
[18:20] <greezmunkey> beware: nice, I had grub legacy installed when I upgraded as well.
[18:20] <beware> yes im on grub-legacy
[18:20] <drizzt_> chandrageetha, let the system remove it, then re-install it later via 'proprietary drivers' icon later
[18:20] <beware> i have tried to get grub2 working
[18:20] <beware> but i didn't get it working so i went back
[18:21] <elhobab> can someone explain me how to do ?? http://www.ubuntu.pastebin.com/QSQdCaPP

[18:21] <elhobab> or what to do
[18:21] <chandrageetha> how to remove video driver
[18:22] <DuctTapeCoder> Is selinux on by default in Ubuntu Server?
[18:22] <blacktooth> +<password>.
[18:22] <chandrageetha> only video driver or the full OS?
[18:22] <blacktooth> I did sudo chmod 777 +R /dev by mistake.
[18:22] <blacktooth> How to revert the permissions to defaults?
[18:22] <drizzt_> chandrageetha, it will be remoced automatically if you preceed with upgrading
[18:22] <beware> isnt /dev a devfs?
[18:22] <beware> try to reboot
[18:22] <Dr_Willis> blacktooth:  Hmmm..  i thought /dev/ got repopulated at boot time. so a reboot should *SHOULD* fix it
[18:22] <blacktooth> yeah
[18:22] <Dr_Willis> **SHOULD*
[18:22] <Dr_Willis> :)
[18:23] <auf_> hello, ubuntu getting freeze when i set visual effect to normal or advanced
[18:23] <blacktooth> ok :)
[18:23] <chandrageetha> Mr.drizzt_ it removed some other file named fglrx or something
[18:23]  * Dr_Willis inserts a disclaimer.
[18:23] <auf_> my VIGA card is "intel 82945G "
[18:23] <chandrageetha> what is name of video driver? can i give the same command once more?
[18:23] <auf_> any suggestion ?
[18:23] <drizzt_> chandrageetha, 'fglrx' is your video driver
[18:23] <greezmunkey> Dr_Willis: I was working to connect an unsupported scanner. Created a device file there, needless to say after a reboot it was gone!
[18:24] <elhobab> please help when i've problem with a program called renpy http://www.ubuntu.pastebin.com/QSQdCaPP
[18:24] <drizzt_> chandrageetha, you will need a new version if you want to upgrade your system
[18:24] <Dr_Willis> greezmunkey:  yep. :) it dont work like it did in the old days
[18:24] <chandrageetha> ok. new version in the sense?
[18:24] <auf_> anyone can help me ?!
[18:24] <onetinsoldier> auf_: hello. Lucid has a problem with that type of video card, see here --> http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004#Intel%208xx%20X%20freezes/crashes
[18:25] <chandrageetha> new version of OS or video driver?
[18:25] <greezmunkey> Dr_Willis: found that out - needless to say it didn't work. I can run the scanner via XP in virtualbox though - go figure!
[18:25] <zrl33> Have noone an idea what i can do with the error zrl3@zrl3-desktop:~$ DISPLAY=:0.0 gnome-screensaver-command --lock   >>>>>   ** Message: Failed to connect to the D-BUS daemon: /bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally with the following error: Autolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.
[18:25] <zrl33> google cant help
[18:25] <auf_> onetinsoldier, thank you i will read it
[18:25] <onetinsoldier> auf_: there suggested workaround at that link i believe
[18:25] <chandrageetha> how to get the new version and get it installed?
[18:25] <shane3> not sure how to proceed, guess i'll jump right in...this is an issue that has many threads, but can't seem to find my exact scenario.  i have an external HD on my windows xp machine, but get an error when trying to access from ubuntu 9.10
[18:25] <Dr_Willis> zrl33:   You are trying to lock the screen via the command line once you have sshed in ?
[18:25] <onetinsoldier> auf_: there is a suggested workaround at that link i believe. you're welcome :) good luck
[18:26] <chandrageetha> if i download ubuntu 10.04 and get it reinstalled, will it solve the problem?
[18:26] <beware> coz_: is my situation of general interest? maybe others with grub-legacy have the same problem because the update mechanism makes the wrong changes (or no changes) in menu.lst
[18:26] <ertu> what could cause screen blinking and theme reset -- ie GTK controls have win95 look and feel, whereas window borders are ok. meh, it's the fifth time i copy pasted this
[18:26] <chandrageetha> which is the minimum memory required for 10.04?
[18:26] <blacktooth> anybody tried upgrading 8.10 to 10.04?
[18:27] <Dr_Willis> ertu:  try a new user - see if it affects them.
[18:27] <Dr_Willis> ertu:  ive never heard of anything causing a users theme settings to reset. Unless the window manager is crashing and somthing else is starting up to replace it
[18:27] <coz_> beware,   that's possible...although I have not seen it mentioned here so far.... but  I think it is of "general" interest for sure.... my guess is , however... that most people are going for a clean install
[18:27] <ertu> Dr_Willis, i have had the same screen blinking issue after a fresh install. it'd blink few mins before screen saver or if i started media player
[18:27] <greezmunkey> beware: I'm thinking *no* changes - I backed up grub.lst before trying the upgrade even. After upgrading they were identical.
[18:27] <drizzt_> can I mount ftp server like filesystem?
[18:28] <Dr_Willis> drizzt_:  with some of the 'fuse' tools - yes you can
[18:28] <Dr_Willis> drizzt_:  fuseftp perhaps (there may be alterantives also)
[18:28] <beware> if thats true im suggesting to get a fix for this into the update mechanism
[18:28] <chandrageetha> Mr. Ubottu, if i download and reinstall the full OS, will it solve the problem?
[18:28] <rallias> How do i make my ubuntu machine look like a windows share?
[18:28] <Dr_Willis> drizzt_:  gnome also has a feature to do it (for gnome)
[18:28] <Dr_Willis> !samba | rallias
[18:28] <coz_> beware,   go for it then... but as i said ... most people will go for clean install which of course includes grub2 :)
[18:28] <chandrageetha> or is there any difference when upgrading and installing  a new version?
[18:29] <Dr_Willis> rallias:  short answer - right click on a directory and share it. it 'should' appear on the network as a shared folder
[18:30] <blendmaster1024> i lost the game :(
[18:30] <elhobab> someone can help http://www.ubuntu.pastebin.com/QSQdCaPP
[18:30] <greezmunkey> rallias: bookmark this, you may need it: Samba > windows vista/7 problem: http://linux.derkeiler.com/Newsgroups/comp.os.linux.networking/2006-10/msg00629.html
[18:30] <Amharad> Hi any 1 talk in russian
[18:31] <onetinsoldier> elhobab: maybe try the #python channel
[18:31] <elhobab> onetinsoldier, ok thanks
[18:32] <drizzt_> see #ubuntu-ru
[18:32] <Amharad> drizzt_: tnx
[18:32] <Amharad> =)
[18:35] <onetinsoldier> welcome back greezmunkey
[18:36] <greezmunkey> onetinsoldier: split?
[18:36] <onetinsoldier> none here
[18:36] <shane3>  i have an external HD on my windows xp machine, but get an error when trying to access from ubuntu 9.10 .  i currently have samba installed and have shared the harddrive over the network.  i can access other file systems just not from external devices
[18:36] <onetinsoldier> no split that i've seen
[18:36] <greezmunkey> onetinsoldier: I changed servers, saw no activity for a while...
[18:36] <onetinsoldier> yeah, just quiet
[18:36] <greezmunkey> hmm
[18:36] <Dr_Willis> shane3:  install/run the ntfs-config tool - you may need to check the checkbox's to allow full access to external drives.
[18:37] <greezmunkey> I haven't been much help here for the past few days, work has been pretty intense - can you say brainfry???
[18:38] <Dr_Willis> greezmunkey:  youre fired.. :)
[18:38] <mastaofdisasta> hey guys, my mic was working on skype and it just suddenly stopped. I'm using xbuntu and the xfce-mixer has the ext mic enabled and the volume is up... what else can I check for?
[18:38]  * Dr_Willis gives greezmunkey  some vacation time.
[18:38] <josh-N> i'm having problems configuring kmail with imap over ssl... i can't seem to upload messages to imap folders. error message is german, but it says something like "cannot write to resource". i can try to translate more of it.
[18:38] <rallias> why does windows network sharing take so long to discover?
[18:39] <greezmunkey> Dr_Willis: you know that's a great idea. The sun's out, and I have a pile of wood to stack.
[18:39] <rallias> Anyone has quit (Quit: Bye)
[18:39] <Dr_Willis> rallias:  i find that linux scans./sees the windows shares much much faster  then my real windows machines do
[18:39] <drizzt_> rallias, because Windows scans network each 15 minutes or so
[18:39]  * red2kic hire Dr_Willis to be greezmunkey's assistant
[18:39] <rallias> i'm doing it on the linux machine
[18:39] <Dr_Willis> rallias:  the 'findsmb' and 'smbtree' command are fun to play with on linux also
[18:39] <elisa87> any IRANIAN here?
[18:40] <rallias> elisa87: I am from iran.. NOT!!!
[18:41] <elisa87> rallias what did you exactly mean?
[18:41] <mastaofdisasta> hey guys, my mic was working on skype and it just suddenly stopped. I'm using xbuntu and the xfce-mixer has the ext mic enabled and the volume is up... what else can I check for?
[18:42] <shane3> Dr_Willis: shane3: are you referring to the ntfs tool avail on the software centre?
[18:43] <drizzt_> does someone use xfce + keyboard layout switcher?
[18:43] <Dr_Willis> shane3:  i dont use software center. i am refering to the tool that has the binarys with the name of 'ntfs-config'
[18:43] <Dr_Willis> !find ntfs-config
[18:43] <josh-N> question put differently : i'm using kubuntu. does it make sense to stick with kmail or should i just get thunderbird instead?
[18:43] <Dr_Willis> shane3:  the package name seems to be 'ntfs-config' also :)
[18:43] <drizzt_> josh-N, what the difference?
[18:43] <onetinsoldier> !info ntfs-config
[18:44] <drizzt_> josh-N, if you don;t want to throw up looking at KMail, you can use it just fine
[18:44] <tuxx> tell me about ubuntu 10.4/
[18:44] <tuxx> tell me about ubuntu 10.4?
[18:44] <josh-N> drizzt_: just asking for recommendations... atm i'm having problems using imap over ssl with kmail, but i have no idea whether thunderbird would make it easier ;)
[18:44] <thedude42> Anyone have any good resources for fixing VirtualBox complaining about KVM, even after you made sure the KVM modules weren't loading in init.d nor an upstart job?
[18:45] <alktors> I want to install eve online under wine could someone help me ? I stumbled into an error, and I can't get any  assistance from #winehq ...
[18:45] <drizzt_> josh-N, it works in thunderbird, at least with GMail
[18:45] <drizzt_> alktors, what it is?
[18:46] <alktors> drizzt_,  Well I got the game, execute the .exe and archive manager starts...An error occurred while loading the archive.
[18:46] <Dont-Hate> Hi
[18:46] <drizzt_> alktors, right-click it and choose Run in Wine
[18:46] <onetinsoldier> !hi | Dont-Hate
[18:47] <ubuntu-usr> hi all
[18:47] <alktors> drizzt_,  ohhh, excuse me, it works now. Thanks so much!
[18:47] <Dont-Hate> Thank you
[18:47] <alktors> drizzt_,  I hope it works as I have an account and would really want to play under ubuntu 10.04.
[18:47] <alktors> drizzt_,  Have you used wine yourself?
[18:47] <ubuntu-usr> i'm looking for ubuntu distro wchich i could install over internet. is it something like this?
[18:47] <drizzt_> alktors, I did
[18:48] <Dr_Willis> alktors:  ive noticed it odd that archive manager is the default program assoicated with .exe's also.. but i guess its better then accidently running some malware when you double click :)
[18:48] <alktors> Dr_Willis, Yes, shure is. :)
[18:48] <alktors> drizzt_,  Have you played runes of magic under wine?
[18:48] <mastaofdisasta> nevermind guys I got it playing with alsamixer and arecord
[18:48] <mastaofdisasta> thanks anyway
[18:48] <Dont-Hate> Any good graphical IRC client for ubuntu ?
[18:48] <alktors> drizzt_,  Checked app db and it is listed there as runing fine, but it crashes in my wine. :(
[18:48] <celeborn999> dont-hate: i like pidgin
[18:48] <drizzt_> Dont-Hate, xchat is the best
[18:49] <onetinsoldier> Dont-Hate: the gnome default one is pretty nice... xchat
[18:49] <Dont-Hate> in windows I had one which send flowers and words in colourfull
[18:49] <thedude42> Dont-Hate: empathy, xchat, irssi is console based but nice if you only have access to a shell
[18:49] <Dont-Hate> in ubuntu I could not found like tha
[18:49] <Haldor> Xchat doesn't really have all the same features as mIRC
[18:49] <Dr_Willis> I perfer WeeChat for COnsole/text based only chatting
[18:49] <celeborn999> empathy is buggy for irc
[18:50] <Haldor> Empathy doesn't work well
[18:50] <Dont-Hate> where are you from peoples mostly ?
[18:50] <onetinsoldier> i like irssi for console. used to use bitchx
[18:50] <Dont-Hate> me from Pakistan
[18:50] <Haldor> Haven't tried irssi yet
[18:50] <Wipster> hey all, got a graphical bug it seems when I start up my intel driver doesn't start fast enough or initialise properly leaving me with sometimes no login screen, the wrong resolution or a black screen. And it seems that it thinks my screen extends off to the right as well and when I go to monitor properties it seems to re init the screen and the edges are fine again
[18:50] <Dr_Willis> onetinsoldier:  try out weechat someday  it has some neat features.. takes a bit of learning however
[18:50] <red2kic> Dr_Willis: May I see your WeeChat SS? :)
[18:50]  * Dr_Willis goes Weeeeeee! :)
[18:50] <thedude42> Haldor: i haven't had any issues with empathy thus far
[18:50] <onetinsoldier> Dr_Willis: roger. thanks. i'll have to check it out :)
[18:51] <shane3> Dr_Willis: shane3: i installed ntfs-config and enabled write to external drives, but no luck.  i also restarted samba
[18:51] <Haldor> You can't connect on some servers.
[18:51] <Haldor> Cuz they require ident server
[18:51] <Dr_Willis> onetinsoldier:  it has a smart-ignore- of part/joins so you only see people leave that have recently talked.. so in theory you see people you are talkign to leave.. but not someone that has idled for 20 min.
[18:51] <celeborn999> anyone here good with UFW? having a problem where UFW is mysteriously blocking incoming smtp traffic though i have a rule allowing it
[18:51] <kerdal> having issues with using Rythmbox gather music off cds.
[18:51] <Haldor> and that I don't have.
[18:51] <Dr_Willis> shane3:  you are trying to share a external ntfs via samba? (thats teh core of the problem?)
[18:51] <onetinsoldier> Dr_Willis: sounds nice
[18:51] <alktors> Dr_Willis,  Do you know how to get an irc cloack like unaffiliated/user???Do you have to pay for one?
[18:52] <Haldor> causing to have to type in some phrase to connect which empathy doesn't allow
[18:52] <alktors> Dr_Willis,  And were exactly do you have to?
[18:52] <Dr_Willis> alktors:  they are free on freenode
[18:52] <alktors> Dr_Willis,  How can I get one to protect my ip?
[18:52] <Dr_Willis> alktors:  i forget where, but there some channel you ask for them
[18:52] <Dr_Willis> !cloak
[18:52] <celeborn999> dr_willis: though apparently there is a 2 week wait for new users
[18:52] <Dr_Willis> alktors:  i dont find it worth worrying about
[18:52] <alktors> Dr_Willis,  Thank you:)
[18:53] <onetinsoldier> firewall works for me :)
[18:53] <shane3> Dr_Willis: shane3:  i'm sharing the external drive from a windows xp pc.  i'm trying to view using samba on an ubuntu laptop
[18:54] <thedude42> Haldor: well, I am under the impression that most people don't run identd, but that's a valid point, it's not a complete irc solution
[18:54] <Dr_Willis> shane3:  ahh.. so you have to set up windows to share the external drive.. Not sure about that. #windows may know of any limits on doing that.
[18:54] <Dr_Willis> shane3:  do other windows machines see the shared external drive?
[18:55] <shane3> Dr_Willis: shane3:  well, i can see it on that pc - don't have any other windows boxes to try
[18:55] <Haldor> A fully functional client like mIRC I haven't seen yet on linux so far. Maybe that could be a neat project for when I get some free time on my hands. :)
[18:55] <shane3> i see the file through samba - i just get an error when trying ot mount
[18:55] <thedude42> shane: by default windows XPsp2 and later make shares only accessable by user 'Anonymous' unless you change your default sharing settings
[18:55] <Dr_Willis> shane3:  so other shares are seen? but not the external one?
[18:55] <Haldor> Lots of free time...
[18:55] <Morten_> Haldor, try konversation - it is quite like mirc
[18:55] <shane3> Dr_Willis: shane3:yes
[18:55] <thedude42> shane3: is what I meant there
[18:55] <Haldor> Hm I'll check it out, thx Morten_
[18:56] <Dr_Willis> shane3:  i alwys set up a windows user and linux uzser with identical names and passwords.. and sambapasswords (just to eliminate any issues in that area)
[18:56] <Morten_> you're welcome :)
[18:56] <thedude42> shane3: by default windows XPsp2 and later make shares only accessable by user 'Anonymous' unless you change your default sharing settings
[18:56] <onetinsoldier> Haldor: what qualifies a fully functional irc client?
[18:56] <Dr_Willis> Haldor:  if you want a Fancy Irc client that one called Quassle (i think) has some amazing eyecandy/features :)
[18:56] <onetinsoldier> Haldor: have you tried Kvirc?
[18:56] <Dr_Willis> quassel quassle?  somthing liek that
[18:56] <thedude42> shane3: by default your samba client will ask you for a user name if you go through the nautalis interface
[18:56] <shane3>  thedude42: how do you change teh default sharing settings?
[18:57] <Haldor> Ok i'm writing these down. See if one is to my liking.
[18:57] <b3lorix> I am currently having issues with firefox, some webpages all the images load, and some pages dont, i use adblock, but even when i disable it images still wont load sometimes. this also happens with flash sometimes
[18:57] <kerdal> so every cd that you purchase you may not be able to rip it to your library or use Rythmbox on it
[18:58] <thedude42> shane3: easiest way is in an explorer window, Tools => folder options and there's a tab in there with a bunch of check boxes, at the bottom is one where you can disable 'simple sharing' which is what prevents using anything but Anonymouse to connect
[18:58] <drizzt_> kerdal, what?
[18:58] <thedude42> shane3: harder way is through Group Policy Editor
[18:58] <airtonix> !who | kerdal
[18:59] <williambecker> irc.twit.tv
[18:59] <Dr_Willis> kerdal:  any 'protected' music cd's ive seen over the past  has been major failures at protecting the music. and very good at annoying legimate buyers.
[18:59] <shane3> thedude42: shane3 definately choose the easier route
[18:59] <onetinsoldier> Haldor: roger. i wouldn't be surprised if Kvirc has everything Mirc does
[18:59] <Haldor> Thx all
[18:59] <Name141> is 'update-apt-xapi' the daily update checker?
[19:00] <Visualante1> hello Ubuntu, i'm trying to reinstall GRUB via live DVD
[19:00] <Name141> It's taking up all the CPU at the current time.
[19:00] <kerdal> question about audio cds, that I have purchased, I am have issues with using Rythmbox, it states that it does see the mime to use drizzt
[19:00] <Visualante1> but the file system doesn't show up
[19:00] <b3lorix> I am currently having issues with firefox, some webpages all the images load, and some pages dont, i use adblock, but even when i disable it images still wont load sometimes. this also happens with flash. Does anyone know what could be causing this?
[19:01] <thedude42> Visualante1: how did you get to the point that you needed to re-install Grub?
[19:01] <Visualante1> thedude42: i installed Windows 7
[19:01] <red2kic> b3lorix: Try different web browser? Chrome or Opera.
[19:01] <thedude42> Visualante1: what do you see on your hard drive in the live environment?
[19:02] <Visualante1> two Windows partitions, and a files partition
[19:02] <kerdal> Dr_Willis okay.
[19:03] <thedude42> Visualante1: so you're trying to install grub before you install Linux, or you just want to use grub as your boot manager?
[19:03] <DCGstudios> good morning
[19:03] <onetinsoldier> DCGstudios: howdy
[19:03] <Visualante1> thedude42: i want to get back to my old Linux partition
[19:03] <shane3> (01:58:14 PM) thedude42: shane3: after checking on my windows machine i don't see an option to disable simple sharing.
[19:03] <josh-N> i have two certificate files ("*.cer") from my provider for imap and smtp server... how do i tell kmail to accept those certificates?
[19:03] <DCGstudios> Visualante1, your running 2 linux partitions?
[19:04] <thedude42> Visualante1: ok, and that's the problem, you don't see the linux partition at all in the live environment?
[19:04] <josh-N> (the certificates are for ssl connection)
[19:04] <onetinsoldier> DCGstudios: he overwrote his grub by installing win7
[19:04] <KingSeta> Hey there! Would anybody help me by sending me 0.1$ to paypal that i can buy this: http://www.wolfire.com/humble???? I only have 2 hours left... it would be sooooooo nice!
[19:04] <Visualante1> thedude42:  exactly, DCGstudios no, i had XP and Ubuntu, when i installed Windows 7 it destroyed GRUB removing my access to Ubuntu
[19:05] <DCGstudios> ah okay, easy fix. Visualante1, which version of grub are you currently running?
[19:05] <thedude42> shane3: do you see the tab in folder options that has all the check boxes, with things like "show hidden files" and "hide extenstions of known file types"?
[19:05] <Visualante1> i don't know, i believe it's pre-Karmic but i'm not sure
[19:06] <DCGstudios> okay, if you wanna pastebin a 'fdisk -l' might make it a little easier. but your going to need to mount your linux partition, and navagate to the /boot/grub directory.
[19:06] <shane3> thedude42: shane3:  yes i see that folder
[19:06] <shane3> thedude42: shane3: view tab
[19:07] <DCGstudios> Visualante1, actually if your on a  live CD go ahead and run 'cd /boot/grub | ls -a | grep menu.lst'  and post the output.

[19:07] <d3javu> hi all
[19:07] <brayden> Hi d3javu
[19:07] <drizzt_> !ops kingseta: spam
[19:07] <d3javu> how can i speed up my ubuntu 10.4
[19:08] <DCGstudios> Visualante1, awsome, throw me the output of the above command and we can get started
[19:08] <brayden> d3javu, that depends, speed up and still look good?
[19:08] <Visualante1> boot/grub doesn't exist
[19:08] <Dr_Willis> d3javu:  put it high on a shelf so the bits can run downhill faster,
[19:09] <BluesKaj> Visualante1, sudo update-grub
[19:09] <Wipster> hey all, got a graphical bug it seems when I start up my intel driver doesn't start fast enough or initialise properly leaving me with sometimes no login screen, the wrong resolution or a black screen. And it seems that it thinks my screen extends off to the right as well and when I go to monitor properties it seems to re init the screen and the edges are fine again. Any idea how I can make sure it inits properly before mo
[19:09] <Wipster> ving on
[19:09] <red2kic> d3javu: Put it in the car so you can drive it faster.
[19:09] <shane3> thedude42:  just got this off microsoft page Note You cannot disable simple file sharing in Windows XP Home Edition.
[19:09] <DCGstudios> Visualante1, do you have your linux partition mounted yet? if not, then run 'mkdir /mounthere | mount -t ext3 /dev/sda3 /mounthere'
[19:10] <shane3> any other options?
[19:10] <d3javu> hey no i wont to stop services .
[19:10] <DCGstudios> BluesKaj, we dont even know if hes running grub2 yet. dont give him incorrect commands.
[19:10] <Visualante1> no it wasn't mounted because it wasn't in the GUI as a mount option. i can follow the YouTube tutorial if that's what i needed
[19:10] <d3javu> somethink like bluethoot
[19:10] <red2kic> d3javu: "sudo service bluetooth stop"
[19:11]  * red2kic hopes d3javu does not use bluetooth keyboard/mouse at the moment
[19:11] <DCGstudios> okay visualante1, go ahead and run that command and it will mount your drive (i belive its ext3 and sda3 from your fdisk) to /mounthere
[19:11] <BluesKaj> DCGstudios, nothing incorrect , if it's not there, but ti is a way to find out
[19:12] <thedude42> shane3: ah yes, home edition... I'm so used to people using pro... then you need to connect as Anonymous without a password from samba
[19:12] <DCGstudios> BluesKaj, will that work from a live cd as well to tell if hes using grub2?
[19:12] <d3javu> i know this , but i wont  stop anadher services by default start whit system
[19:12] <christina> i am using ubuntu live cd 9.10 to boot pc but it is asking for username and password for login ??? what to enter ??
[19:12] <thedude42> shane3: are you using the command line samba client or the nautalis interface (which would be using the 'connect to server' dialog int he desktop gui)
[19:13] <BluesKaj> DCGstudios, uhm no grub on he live cd , it boots itself
[19:13] <d3javu> what irc client do you use xchat or xchat-gnoeme or samthink else
[19:13] <undecim> How do I tell what package a command is from?
[19:13] <DCGstudios> BluesKaj yea didnt think so, im trying to direct him to check for a menu.lst to decide which version of grub were working with.
[19:13] <erUSUL> undecim: i use this « dpkg -S $(which command) »
[19:13] <Visualante1> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda3,
[19:13] <josh-N> i have two certificate files from my provider for imap and smtp server over ssl... how do i tell kmail to accept those certificates?
[19:14] <onetinsoldier> undecim: dpkg -S /path/to/file/<command>
[19:14] <Visualante1> d3javu: typically irssi
[19:14] <shane3> ) thedude42: shane3 not using command line - must be gui interface.  just dl'd nautalus
[19:14] <undecim> erUSUL: Ty, worked like a charm
[19:14] <d3javu> :) but it very hard program
[19:14] <BluesKaj> DCGstudios, right , if he's using legacy grub , he'll have grub/menu.lst
[19:14] <FFForever> Ello
[19:15] <DCGstudios> Visualante1, do you happen to know which type of extended filesystem your linux partition is using? lol
[19:15] <FFForever> what is wrong with this? #!/bin/bash <new line> gnome-screenshot -a when I make this a keyboard shortcut it just takes the whole screen as the selection =\
[19:15] <onetinsoldier> undecim: nvm... erUSUL got you helped with one even better :)
[19:15] <Visualante1> no
[19:15] <reimen> hej
[19:15] <airtonix> FFForever, use --area instead
[19:15] <d3javu> steg hay ka ??? :) is ther Armenian boy
[19:15] <DCGstudios> Visualante1, if you open the GUI menu at System > Administration > Disk utility  (sda3 is your linux drive) it will tell you
[19:15] <thedude42> DCGstudios: i'm kinda more curious about why he can't see his linux partition from the live cd
[19:16] <FFForever> airtonix, I did, it didn't make a difference
[19:16] <BluesKaj> Visualante1, alt+f2 type /etc/grub/menu.lst ...does it show ?
[19:16] <red2kic> FFForever: Use aliases or scrot.
[19:16] <airtonix> FFForever, i also have --include-borders on my shrotcut
[19:16] <DCGstudios> thedude42, i see an extended filesystem and a swap partition on his fdisk. http://pastebin.com/xKqJJXdn       i belive its just not mounted.
[19:16] <drizzt_> josh-N, your provider is so cheapskate that issue self-signed certificates?
[19:17] <airtonix> FFForever, are you editing this command in gconf-editor ?
[19:17] <josh-N> i can read my imap (ssl) folders, but not write to them in kmail - as in unable to put a copy of sent mail in my sent folder... error message "cannot write to resource"
[19:17] <markl_> is there an easy way to tell if my usb device is using usb1 or usb2 ?
[19:17] <carael> carael@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get python-q4
[19:17] <carael> [sudo] password for carael:
[19:17] <carael> E: Invalid operation python-q4
[19:17] <Visualante1> disk utility isn't there
[19:17] <FFForever> airtonix, I just saved it as a base script
[19:17] <carael> i need python for dynamips how can i fix that
[19:17] <josh-N> drizzt_: i don't think they're self signed... maybe the problem isn't with the certificates, but i'm not sure
[19:17] <FFForever> bash*, then I added a shortcut for it
[19:17] <thedude42> shane3: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba#Samba%20Client%20-%20Manual%20Configuration
[19:17] <BluesKaj> oops , Visualante1 sorry /boot/grub/menu.lst
[19:17] <DCGstudios> Does anyone know the command to check a partition filesystem type? i cant seem to remember it
[19:18] <xangua> carael: maybe python-qt4 instead of python-q4¿
[19:18] <airtonix> FFForever, btw are you using compiz too ?
[19:18] <josh-N> drizzt_: i can read the imap folders just fine, so maybe the certificates are ok... but i can't move/copy messages
[19:18] <FFForever> airtonix, no compiz
[19:18] <airtonix> FFForever, it works now ?
[19:18] <drizzt_> josh-N, is there some error?
[19:19] <FFForever> nope :(
[19:19] <carael> thx
[19:19] <onetinsoldier> DCGstudios: i usually use cfdisk
[19:19] <Visualante1> i'm fairly certain sda3 is my linux partition because it has sda5 linux-swap linked to it
[19:20] <DCGstudios> awsome thats it onetinsoldier
[19:20] <josh-N> drizzt_: yes, there is. it's german however... the headline i would translate to "cannot write to resource"
[19:20] <onetinsoldier> DCGstudios: cheers
[19:20] <DCGstudios> Visualante1, lets see if we can do it without the filesystem type.  ' mount /dev/sda3 /mounthere
[19:20] <DCGstudios> Visualante1, youll need to run it as sudo , of couse.
[19:21] <Visualante1> mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[19:21] <DCGstudios> Visualante1, grrrr
[19:21] <thedude42> DCGstudios: take a closer look at that output in pastebin
[19:21] <Visualante1> partition manager says extended
[19:22] <FFForever> airtonix, someone recommended adding sleep before the command and that works perfect
[19:22] <DCGstudios> thedude42, what am i missing?
[19:22] <drizzt_> josh-N, try to run from terminal 'LANG=C kmail' and lookup the english error text on Kmail bugtracker
[19:22] <DCGstudios> visualante1, yea i see its extended... a question of weather its ext2 3 4
[19:22] <josh-N> drizzt_: http://pastebin.com/hrFyeV6J
[19:22] <thedude42> DCGstudios: that /dev/sda3 partition is the extended partition that contains /dev/dev/sda4 and /dev/sda5
[19:23] <airtonix> FFForever, /shrug i just edit the option with gconf-editor and just put gnome-screenshot --area --include-border as command 9
[19:23] <josh-N> drizzt_: ok, i'll try to run with LANG=C, thanks
[19:23] <airtonix> FFForever, im using 9.10 and it works for me
[19:23] <DCGstudios> thedude42, yea well sda5 is his swap.. and im assuming sda4 is either a windows partition or a storage partition right?
[19:23] <onetinsoldier> DCGstudios: have him run cfdisk on the drive yet?
[19:23] <FFForever> airtonix, is it possible to get the filename so I can automatically upload to imgur?
[19:24] <Visualante1> it could be unallocated
[19:24] <Visualante1> no sda4 is NTFS
[19:24] <Visualante1> it's windows
[19:24] <AhmedBH> Hi everyone
[19:24] <DCGstudios> onetinsoldier, acctually i cant even get it to run on my computer, im checking out the man page as we speak lol (fatal error drive not found)
[19:24] <airtonix> FFForever, not sure...
[19:24] <carael> sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev zliblg-dev libsdl-dev libpcap-dev
[19:24] <carael> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
[19:24] <carael> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[19:24] <thedude42> DCGstudios: Visualante1: I hate to say it, but it looks like your linux partition somehow got mangled and now appears to be filesystem id 7 for some reason, my assumption is the vista installer
[19:24] <carael> what can i do
[19:24] <AhmedBH> anyone knows what 5061 port is for ?
[19:24] <onetinsoldier> DCGstudios: oh... i see
[19:24] <Visualante1> oh tits
[19:25] <syme> in 10.04, I can't find my sound preferences... System>Preferences>Sound is missing... what can I do to restore it?
[19:25] <DCGstudios> onetinsoldier, am i using it with incorrect syntax or something? 'cfdisk /dev/sda1'
[19:25] <airtonix> FFForever, you can use imagemagik instead : import
[19:25] <Visualante1> well it's no big deal i wanted to update to the new version of Ubuntu. can you help me remove whatever used to be there and i'll just install from scratch
[19:25] <erUSUL> carael: close synaptic or update manager or whicever other apt frontend you have open
[19:25] <arleslie> Where is the desktop folder for the user ROOT
[19:25] <onetinsoldier> AhmedBH: grep 5061 /etc/services --> sip-tls		5061/tcp, sip-tls		5061/udp
[19:25] <drizzt_> arleslie, /root/Desktop
[19:26] <DCGstudios> Well visualate1, you can just format the entire /dev/sda3 partition and begin a fresh install on there which will restore your grub as well.
[19:26] <erUSUL> AhmedBH: chaeck what has it open « lsof -i :5061 »
[19:26] <AhmedBH> onetinsoldier: Thanks man
[19:26] <onetinsoldier> DCGstudios: cfdisk /dev/sda
[19:26] <thedude42> DCGstudios: Visualante1: I mean, the data may still be there, but I would expect to see the fulesystem id type of at least one type of linux file system
[19:26] <AhmedBH> It helped a lot
[19:26] <onetinsoldier> AhmedBH: you're welcome
[19:26] <AhmedBH> :)
[19:26] <airtonix> FFForever, you use : import filename.png
[19:26] <carael> E: Couldn't find package zliblg-dev
[19:26] <carael> know it says me that
[19:26] <timyeung> i forgot my password for nickserv how do i retrieve it?
[19:26] <Visualante1> thedude42: well that's no problem i store my data elsewhere because i will never know how to maintain linux properly
[19:27] <DCGstudios> onetinsoilder, apparently it doesnt play well with gparted GUID partition tables?
[19:27] <AhmedBH> Simple Net Mgmt Protocol ? what is this usually uses ? system ? i dont think its by any program that uses 161 port
[19:27] <onetinsoldier> DCGstudios: it should. i did it on my hard drive that was partitioned and formatted by Lucid installer
[19:27] <airtonix> FFForever, mind if i see how you're uploading to imgur ?
[19:27] <CosmiChaos> Ive upgradd from karmic to lucid on my dads computer with nvidia graphic. Now it hangs on boot with broken screen-output, when i try recovery console it just hangs.. showing the ugly plymouth progress bar and no TTY1 available.... what is the problem ? please help
[19:27] <onetinsoldier> DCGstudios: works fine here
[19:28] <thedude42> Visualante1: you wouldb't have had this issue if it was only XP, but adding vista to the mix complicates things
[19:28] <Visualante1> DCGstudios: how would i format SDA3 without compromising any of the Windows drives?
[19:28] <DCGstudios> onetinsolider, yea so did mine lol and its complaining at me
[19:28] <Visualante1> well i am leaving XP now anyway, haven't used it in a year
[19:28] <syme> in 10.04, I can't find my sound preferences... System>Preferences>Sound is missing... what can I do to restore it?
[19:28] <onetinsoldier> DCGstudios: roger. cfdisk is the most strict utility when it comes to partitions tables. if anything's wrong, it'll complain
[19:28] <josh-N> drizzt_: http://pastebin.com/2yudQrKa
[19:28] <DCGstudios> Visualante1, well as your already in a live CD just go ahead and go to System > Administration > G parted, and select your entire /dev/sda3 partition, and format it.
[19:29] <thedude42> Visualante1: congradulations! I've made the same transition myself a little over a year ago
[19:29] <bsmith0931> if anyone happens to be running the linksys wrt54g version 6 they just had a firmware update
[19:29] <FFForever> airtonix, I have no written that part yet, I am trying to figure out how to get the filename first. One step at a time
[19:29] <DCGstudios> onetinsolider, interesting, i remember using it a long time ago and working as it should.. i guess ill read around about it.
[19:30] <onetinsoldier> DCGstudios: roger. good luck
[19:30] <Visualante1> DCGstudios: GParted doesn't seem to have an option for it
[19:30] <Visualante1> all grey
[19:30] <DCGstudios> Visualante1, An option to format?
[19:31] <CosmiChaos> Ive upgradd from karmic to lucid on my dads computer with nvidia graphic. Now it hangs on boot with broken screen-output, when i try recovery console it just hangs.. showing the ugly plymouth progress bar and no TTY1 available.... what is the problem ? please help
[19:31] <Visualante1> yes
[19:31] <CosmiChaos> i hve no more kernel to login to a recovery console
[19:31] <CosmiChaos> god the dist-upgrade crashed the hole mashine wtf
[19:32] <d3javu> ppl where in ubuntu a can find demons in which folder
[19:32] <C-S-B> in /root/666/
[19:32] <spikeb> heh
[19:32] <syme> in 10.04, I can't find my sound preferences... System>Preferences>Sound is missing... what can I do to restore it?
[19:32] <DCGstudios> Visualante1, So you see /dev/sda3.. right click that partition and press format to > ext3 (you can do ext4 if you want, slightly faster)
[19:32] <Robert_Zenz> Does someone know how I can change the Keep-Alive behavior of Nautilus for FTP-Connections?
[19:32] <Wipster> hey all, got a graphical bug it seems when I start up my intel driver doesn't start fast enough or initialise properly leaving me with sometimes no login screen, the wrong resolution or a black screen. And it seems that it thinks my screen extends off to the right as well and when I go to monitor properties it seems to re init the screen and the edges are fine again. Any idea how I can make sure it inits properly?
[19:33] <Visualante1> format to is greyed out though
[19:33] <__stefan___> anyone knows whether network manager bug has been fixed in 9.10 or not?
[19:33] <DCGstudios> CosmiChaos, try to run sudo update-grub, it will detect the available vmlinuz files and intrid files and add them to your boot menu.
[19:33] <thedude42> CosmiChaos: did you manyally install a display driver before the dist-upgrade?
[19:33] <__stefan___> I am little outta date ... so if you have new info, do share. :)
[19:33] <CosmiChaos> DCGstudios, HOW TO DO THAT WITHOUT A CONSOLE????
[19:33] <FFForever> Anyone have an idea why when I upgraded from 9.10 -> 10.04 it lost network:// functionality
[19:33] <DCGstudios> CosmiChaos, are you speaking in tounge? =P    you need terminal.
[19:33] <CosmiChaos> thedude42, no i did update-manager removed the old 2.6.27 and rebooted
[19:34] <thedude42> CosmiChaos: hit escape when the grub prot asks you, then boot to recovery mode
[19:34] <CosmiChaos> thedude42, dont you listen THAT HANGS!!!!!
[19:34] <timyeung> I was installing the update and there was a power outage :-( I am going to attempt to burn an ubuntu 10.04 installation disk. I don't want to lose any information as i don't have a back up. Is this the right course of action?
[19:34] <C-S-B> syme, gnome-volume-control
[19:34] <CosmiChaos> i have NO MORE KERNEL left with working recovery mode
[19:34] <gigasoft> ubuntu 32 bit vs ubuntu 64 bit, question is now? [so what you recommend]
[19:34] <C-S-B> syme, just recreate the shortcut
[19:34] <DCGstudios> Visualante1, if you right click it can you unmount it?
[19:34] <C-S-B> gigasoft, 64
[19:34] <thedude42> CosmiChaos: where does it hang, before it gives you a choice of what to do or after?
[19:34] <Visualante1> it isn't mounted
[19:34] <CosmiChaos> on mountall sda1
[19:35] <yunus> #ubuntu-tr
[19:35] <thedude42> CosmiChaos: what filesystem is root?
[19:35] <CosmiChaos> thedude42, BEFORE at mountall sda1 something
[19:35] <CosmiChaos> ext4?
[19:35] <syme> C-S-B: how do I do that?
[19:35] <gigasoft> C-S-B, why?
[19:35] <C-S-B> syme, right click the ubuntu icon in top right
[19:35] <thedude42> CosmiChaos: try booting to live cd and doing an fsck on your drive
[19:36] <CosmiChaos> hmmm
[19:36] <DCGstudios> Visualante1, very strange.. can you go to console and run 'cd /mounthere | ls -a' and see if you get output
[19:36] <katsuru> hello, i got a question regarding terminal commands, when i want to open a .png for example and the name of the file contains one or 2 empty spaces b4 the name of the file like this "  12file.png", how do i open it trough terminal command?  I know that the usual command will be "gnome-open File.png" but with spaces at the begging it wont work.
[19:36] <thedude42> CosmiChaos: or see if it mounts and look at your logs
[19:36] <C-S-B> gigasoft, 64bit allows addressing of more than 3gb of ram and 64bit code will run quicker
[19:36] <gigasoft> C-S-B, why do you recommend 64 bit?
[19:36] <timyeung> gigasoft, if you have a 64 bit machine then install the 64 bit version. it is faster
[19:36] <C-S-B> :) ^
[19:36] <thedude42> CosmiChaos: either way that will tell you more than ytou know now
[19:36] <mkquist> gigasoft: I'm using 64 bit with no problems on my desktop
[19:36] <CosmiChaos> thedude42, im so fckn annoying of canonical not making it possible to safe upgrade with regular hardware
[19:36] <_OskaR_> hey
[19:36] <CosmiChaos> brb
[19:36] <gigasoft> ok, but 64 bit use lot of ram memory, :(
[19:36] <jpt9> Hey.  Quick question.  I'm running Ubuntu 9.10, and I can't seem to find xorg.conf.  Does it actually create one out of the box?
[19:37] <mkquist> gigasoft: uses your processor more efficiently
[19:37] <DCGstudios> CosmiChaos, dont expect perfume and flowers with dist upgrades, fresh installs are reccommended.
[19:37] <overmind> 64bit = 2 cores, right?
[19:37] <timyeung> I was installing the update and there was a power outage :-( I am going to attempt to burn an ubuntu 10.04 installation disk. I don't want to lose any information as i don't have a back up. Is this the right course of action?
[19:37] <overmind> (or more)
[19:37] <mabus> katsuru: you can escape spaces with \, so you could "gnome-open \ \ File.jpg" but what I would more likely do is gnome-open *File.jpg
[19:37] <Visualante1> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda3,
[19:37] <thedude42> CosmiChaos: yeah, i've been fighting with things too, but I know i'm culpable because I've done all kinds of dumb crap to my install over 3 dist upgrades, without taking the time to read the release notes.... I'm paying for that myself
[19:37] <Visualante1> it never mounted in the first place
[19:37] <C-S-B> gigasoft, trust me, 64bit is the future, install it and be happy
[19:37] <C-S-B> gigasoft, do it now. :)
[19:37] <onetinsoldier> try dist-upgrade with micrsoft os's.. see how well they work out :D
[19:37] <gigasoft> ok, thanks all.
[19:37] <C-S-B> syme, how are you getting on?
[19:37] <mabus> if you want your flash support to be good.. sometime in the future..?
[19:37] <_OskaR_> i dl. the ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso and slapped it in my HTPC running on an Asus Mb with 780 chipset. . upon Boot from CD i get picture and select install.. but then i LOSE PICTURE AND IT NEVER COMES BACK !
[19:38] <xxiao> why is my kernel msg only in dmesg, want to duplicate it on ttyS0 after booted up, used to work that way
[19:38] <xxiao> printk to 8 does not help
[19:38] <overmind> C-S-B: I have intel celeron 2.80 ghz (1 core). I can't use 64 bit, right?
[19:38] <syme> C-S-B: getting on what?
[19:38] <CosmiChaos> DCGstudios, i have the exact same hardware than my father i ran through eery ALPHA1 since jaunty without a fresh install and never had any problems, but then my dads pc with sensitive data OF COURSE IT BREAKS
[19:38] <CosmiChaos> at regular dist-upgrade
[19:38] <katsuru> mabus thanks worked, i tried the "\" without spaces between, now it worked, thanks mate
[19:38] <onetinsoldier> CosmiChaos: you had the data backed up?
[19:38] <C-S-B> overmind, i dont know the processor spec, but alot of the recent ish intels are compat
[19:38] <greezmunkey_Zzz> CosmiChaos: did you back up prior?
[19:38] <thedude42> CosmiChaos: i doubt that the data is gone
[19:38] <KingSeta> I know its crazy, put please help me. I need this Games http://www.wolfire.com/humble anybody can help me with buing it or sending me 0.1$??? I would kiss your ass, if that is waht you like for it!
[19:39] <CosmiChaos> onetinsoldier, no because i had a same hardware system already upgraded to lucid ....
[19:39] <C-S-B> syme, with the sound menu option
[19:39] <DCGstudios> CosmiChaos, you should create a seperate home partition for your configuations and files so that way you can just fresh install to upgrade, youll rarley have problems.
[19:39] <KingSeta> There are only 1.5 hours left... i cant get so fast money to paypal...
[19:39] <shane3> thedude42: i'm not haveing any luck with this - i can't get past the password prompt - right or wront i need gui to survive
[19:39] <onetinsoldier> CosmiChaos: roger. as thedude42 said, data is probably still there
[19:39] <syme> C-S-B: well, I added gnome-volume-control in the main menu under preference, but it said it couldn't find it
[19:40] <syme> C-S-B: it said no such file or directory
[19:40] <C-S-B> overmind, see if a live 64bit distro will boot
[19:40] <C-S-B> syme, have you uninstalled something?
[19:40] <KingSeta> Please Help an Linux friend...
[19:40] <CosmiChaos> lol now the PSU-Fan broke OMG
[19:40] <zleap> KingSeta, we can try
[19:41] <spikeb> CosmiChaos, one thing after another
[19:41] <overmind> C-S-B: I'll try. And thank you, I didn't know that about 64bits
[19:41] <thedude42> shane3: assume that the ip address of the windows machine is IPADDRESS... then use this command: smbclient -L //IPADDRESS -U Anonymous
[19:41] <onetinsoldier> CosmiChaos: no!
[19:41] <CosmiChaos> and my dad said: dont tell me somethign needs to be replaced
[19:41] <drizzt_> !op kingseta spam
[19:41] <CosmiChaos> xD
[19:41] <overmind> drizzt_: !ops
[19:41] <_OskaR_> i dl. the ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso and slapped it in ....IS there a way to force load fglrx ?
[19:41] <syme> C-S-B: nope, it never appeared from the start
[19:41] <overmind> drizzt_: And use | before command
[19:41] <thedude42> shane3: if that doesn't work then you need to check the firewall settings on your windows machine
[19:41] <Visualante1> anyone know how i can format a partition when it isn't mounted?
[19:41] <overmind> yay, after command
[19:41] <C-S-B> syme, odd.
[19:42] <BeteNoire> hi, do you know a program to easily adjust gamma/collor temperature?
[19:42] <thedude42> Visualante1: you unmount the partition, then format it?
[19:42] <jihedamine> Hi, I'd like to create a python gnome-applet where a method is executed every 60 seconds
[19:42] <DASPRiD> BeteNoire, gimp
[19:42] <jihedamine> I created a basic applet, but how to call a method every x seconds (using python) please?
[19:42] <Visualante1> thedude42: well i dunno how to unmount it then because GParted won't let me
[19:42] <BeteNoire> DASPRiD: i mean a lcd laptop display
[19:42] <Visualante1> unless something else is wrong with it
[19:42] <drizzt_> BeteNoire, your video driver should provide one, ubuntu have no color management
[19:43] <C-S-B> Visualante1, you might be in the wrong chan for that kind of question
[19:43] <thedude42> Visualante1: try using the parted command line tool
[19:43] <DASPRiD> BeteNoire, oh :), i think the nvidia tools do that (if you have an nvidia card)
[19:43] <BeteNoire> drizzt_: it's intel's
[19:43]  * rldwallace is looking for a solution to a mouse responding with double clicks when single clicked
[19:43] <KingSeta> Nobody can give 0.1$ to paypal?
[19:44] <shane3>  thedude42: i got a list that time of the folders i have shared - however this is what it says after the list
[19:44] <shane3> Called name not present)
[19:44] <Gigafide> Hi everybody
[19:44] <onetinsoldier> !hi | Gigafide
[19:45] <Gigafide> thanks so hows everyone doing today
[19:45] <onetinsoldier> ok, how are you?
[19:45] <nemesis_> !controls
[19:45] <j64> how do I add network manager back to the notification area in gnome?
[19:46] <C-S-B> j64, it is the notification applet
[19:46] <mkquist> Visualante1: i thought i had to be unmounted to partition anyway?
[19:46] <onetinsoldier> j64: nm-applet command.... i think
[19:46] <DCGstudios> wow i didnt know you could move those controls back to the right, thanks!
[19:46] <thedude42> shane3: so take that error message, put it in quotes, paste that in to google along with the terms ubuntu, smbclient and windows home.... and you'll be doing the the next things I would be doing
[19:46] <rldwallace> Ok...I guess no one has come across this issue
[19:47] <nemesis_> DCGstudios: yw. I did it on a different computer the other day and couldnt remember how, so came back here just for that
[19:47] <moza> !flash
[19:47] <nemesis_> lol
[19:47] <Visualante1> what is the gparted command for formating sda3?
[19:47] <onetinsoldier> rldwallace: what's the issue? you should repeat it like every 5-10 minutes
[19:48] <thedude42> Visualante1: have you attempted to open a terminal and run 'parted /dev/sda3' ?
[19:48] <rldwallace> @onetin: When I click my mouse it responds with a double click
[19:48] <C-S-B> Anyone know how to make the eject hotkey work with creating a new shortcut to the 'eject' command
[19:48] <onetinsoldier> Visualante1: what type are you wanting to format it in? ext3?
[19:48] <rldwallace> Intermittently
[19:49] <Visualante1> i don't even know what that is. i just know what linux and windows are.
[19:49] <rldwallace> no...I havent' had too much coffee
[19:49] <DCGstudios> nemesis_, is there acctually a way to do it? that link was just a bug report =\
[19:49] <onetinsoldier> rldwallace: i don't know... someone else might though
[19:49] <Visualante1> gparted says it's unallocated so i guess i have to allocate before i format
[19:49] <onetinsoldier> Visualante1: yes
[19:49] <rldwallace> Thanks anyhow onetin :)
[19:49] <BluesKaj> Visualante1, just check the options with that partition highlighted
[19:49] <DCGstudios> Visualante1, your /dev/sda3 is unallocated right?
[19:49] <Visualante1> yes
[19:49] <onetinsoldier> rldwallace: good luck :-)
[19:50] <brianl> I am using Ubuntu for the first time, and i am curious how i go about setting up my wireless internet?
[19:50] <thedude42> ?
[19:50] <thedude42> oops
[19:50] <DCGstudios> Visualante1, yea man your good to go, get that 10.04 install CD in there and format it as ext3 or ext4 and get installing.
[19:50] <ATH-45ARIS> GEIAAA!!!!!!
[19:50] <C-S-B> brianl, top left
[19:50] <drizzt_> brianl, if it doesn't work for you, it may never will
[19:50] <DCGstudios> Visualante1,  once you get it formatted it will no longer be Unallocated
[19:50] <brianl> top left?
[19:50] <C-S-B> brianl, click the wireless icon
[19:50] <notmorewindows> hi with vista i had from load = 40% ram  , now with lubuntu  10.04 lts   i have since 8 to 16 %  , this is only a date
[19:51] <brianl> It just had wired, nothing for the wireless
[19:51] <ATH-45ARIS> POIOS  EINAII EDW  ????????????????
[19:51] <ubuntu__> hi
[19:51] <drizzt_> !el
[19:51] <jungli> y0
[19:51] <DCGstudios> brianl, go to System > Administration > Hardware Drivers, and enable your wireles drivers.
[19:51] <io_> ./ server irc.abjects.net
[19:51] <jungli> hello how can i beamster of linux
[19:51] <Gigafide> So any one mad about gimp or are you guys glad ?
[19:52] <ahau> Hello
[19:52] <drizzt_> notmorewindows, and your problem is?
[19:52] <darkweasel> short question: how can it happen that even though nautilus shows that there's more than 300 mb left on my digital music player, if i copy 130 mb there, it says "no space left on device"?!
[19:52] <Tazer> What about gimp?
[19:52] <brianl> It hays no proprietary drivers are in use on this system
[19:52] <DCGstudios> brianl, once you get your drivers up and running your wireless connection will become available in the same place your ethernet is.
[19:52] <Gigafide> about it being removed
[19:52] <brianl> should i plug the computer into the internet to do it?
[19:52] <jungli> helleo how can change chm file to pdf
[19:52] <jungli> helleo how can change chm file to pdf
[19:52] <drizzt_> darkweasel, does it copy files in root folder? it has limited capacity
[19:52] <Tazer> Oh, from Ubuntu itself?
[19:53] <Tazer> I don't see that it matters, you can just download it :U
[19:53] <darkweasel> drizzt_: well, directly to /media/307C-883F where my music player is mounted - this folder has limited capacity?
[19:53] <DCGstudios> brianl, can you please open terminal at Applications > Accessories > Terminal. then type 'sudo lspci | grep Network'  best to copy paste from here if you are new.
[19:53] <darkweasel> i'll try to copy it to a subfolder, thanks
[19:53] <Wipster> hey all, got a graphical bug it seems when I start up my intel driver doesn't start fast enough or initialise properly leaving me with sometimes no login screen, the wrong resolution or a black screen. And it seems that it thinks my screen extends off to the right as well and when I go to monitor properties it seems to re init the screen and the edges are fine again. Any idea how I can make sure it inits properly?
[19:54] <DCGstudios> brianl, yes youll need at least a wired connect to detect the drivers in order to install them
[19:54] <Gigafide> iv been reading alot of reviews of 10.04 and there saying ubuntus copying mac what do you guys think ?
[19:54] <brianl> DCGstudios: Okay im trying now let me see if that works
[19:54] <drizzt_> darkweasel, if your media player appears as FAT volume, you cannot copy many files in it's root directory, especially if they have long names
[19:54] <greezmunkey> drizzt_: WHat's that about limited capacity on root?
[19:54] <onetinsoldier> Wipster: i think lucid has some problems with itel graphics cards. are you using lucid?
[19:55] <onetinsoldier> intel*
[19:55] <Tazer> Ubuntu is nothing like OS X/Macs
[19:55] <drizzt_> greezmunkey, only 512 directory entries on FAT 16 volume
[19:55] <DCGstudios> tazer, closer then windows.
[19:55] <Tazer> I should know given I have a macbook and run all three operating systems
[19:55] <darkweasel> drizzt_: ahh thank you, i'll try to copy the files to single subfolders. :)
[19:55] <greezmunkey> drizzt_: right on FAT! :)
[19:55] <thedude42> DCGstudios: you have a point there
[19:55] <notmorewindows> drizzt is i cant  to have more applets in the lubuntu bar  lxde like the brightness applet  for xfce or gnome , but lubuntu is the best ubuntu .
[19:55] <Tazer> That's like saying is a dog is more like a monkey than a parrot is
[19:55] <ajs86> I upgraded from 9.10 to ubuntu 10.04  Everything went smooth but for some reason I still have the 9.10 gdm theme.  I reinstalled the gdm and plymouth packages but that did not help. Any suggestions?
[19:55] <DCGstudios> Tazer, i also, run almost every distro on my macbook and works great (slight debugging with touchpad and function keys)
[19:56] <salil> Hi.. I have installed telnetd and restarted /etc/init.d/inetutils-inetd   But remote connections are being refused when "telnet <host>" is used
[19:56] <drizzt_> Tazer, Ubuntu dreams of becoming free MacOSX
[19:56] <serilbye> hello everyone, how can i set active MIDI in my sound card? I got this message from /dev/sndstat "Midi devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG
[19:56] <serilbye>  "
[19:56] <Wipster> onetinsoldier, I am indeed I didn't see this problem with previous versions so I guess its the speedup boot
[19:56] <Tazer> That was the aim?
[19:56] <Tazer> Because I never heard of that
[19:56] <Marfi> salil: You'll have to edit the permissions file
[19:56] <brianl> DCGstudios: im going to get off and get on here with the linux computer, ill brb. Thanks
[19:56] <drizzt_> Tazer, I believe, Shuttleworth looks envy for it
[19:56] <salil> Marfi: I removed the "# <off> #" from the /etc/inetd.conf
[19:57] <salil> Marfi: For the entry
[19:57] <Krumar> Hi, I just installed ubuntu 10.04 on an older computer, I'm having trouble setting the screen resolution, i want to get 1440x900 but the best it can do right now is 1024x768, i have a "S3 Inc. VT8375 [ProSavage8 KM266/KL266]" can anyone get me pointed in the right direction?
[19:57] <Tazer> I mean, in the easy to use sort of way, I can see that, yes, but OS X is enormously proprietary, no?
[19:57] <Marfi> salil: There is another one that you have to edit. I have to un-comment it whenever I setup an ssh host
[19:57] <dafreak> Sorry to ask again but I'm still having issues connecting to WPA  networks with Ubuntu 10.04 on a Sony Vaio laptop. This is using the ipw2200 drivers. It will connect to a non WPA router just fine, it has issues with WPA.
[19:57] <Marfi> salil: Don't remember the name of it
[19:57] <onetinsoldier> Wipster: i don't know if this will help, but you can take a look here. i think maybe it's recommended that people with the problem listed there use the vesa driver or something --> http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004#Intel%208xx%20X%20freezes/crashes
[19:58] <Tazer> Oh, you mean as in themes?
[19:58] <thedude42> Tazer: Apple close-sourced Darwin, but prior to 2004 or 05 it was open source
[19:58] <drizzt_> Tazer, I don't know why 'proprietary' is bad and don't want to
[19:58] <serilbye> hello everyone, how can i set active MIDI in my sound card? I got this message from /dev/sndstat "Midi devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG
[19:58] <Wipster> onetinsoldier, ok thanks I will have a look
[19:58] <salil> Marfi: I had done apt-get install telnetd
[19:58] <io_> ./server irceumenide.org
[19:58] <DCGstudios> Tazer, the ease of use in linux is far from OSX's 'click the shiny icon here'.. but also the general security and versatility far surpasses osx if your an end user.
[19:58] <onetinsoldier> Wipster: roger. good luck
[19:58] <drizzt_> serilbye, it means the driver was compiled without MIDI support
[19:58] <jungli> hello
[19:58] <hoglahoo> hello
[19:58] <Tazer> Definitely :U
[19:59] <jungli> how can i change chm filr to pdf
[19:59] <jungli> how can i change chm file to pdf
[19:59] <hoglahoo> I don't know
[19:59] <Gigafide> yeah its the whole button change i think ubuntus turning out to be a mix of windows and mac witch is a  good thing  but its alot better that's its its own os  but still not kid friendly to most noob users  that's why most people are picking the others
[19:59] <Krumar> Hi, I just installed ubuntu 10.04 on an older computer, I'm having trouble setting the screen resolution, i want to get 1440x900 but the best it can do right now is 1024x768, i have a "S3 Inc. VT8375 [ProSavage8 KM266/KL266]" can anyone get me pointed in the right direction?
[19:59] <drizzt_> witches are _not_ good thing
[19:59] <BluesKaj> 1patience | jungli
[19:59] <greezmunkey> salil: have a look at this: http://ubuntuguide.net/install-and-enable-telnet-server-in-ubuntu-linux
[19:59] <RyR88> so I updated to the latest ubuntu, and it's very cool, but I can't actually change the status on my accounts to active?
[19:59] <Tazer> But I'm pretty bad at computers still and I can use Ubuntu fine
[19:59] <C-S-B> greezmunkey, any reason you want telnet?
[19:59] <DCGstudios> Gigafide, i learned linux 6 years ago when i was 12. "kid friendly" is a broad term.
, how can i handle it? how to recompile this?
[20:00] <Tazer> It's finally become my main OS like a month ago soo
[20:00] <C-S-B> *you'd
[20:00] <BluesKaj> !patience | jungli
[20:00] <greezmunkey> C-S-B: not me, salil
[20:00] <C-S-B> salil, why do you want telnet?
[20:00] <greezmunkey> C-S-B: I use ssh only
[20:00] <drizzt_> serilbye, i don't know I afraid
[20:00] <notmorewindows> there is some brightness applet to lubuntu lxde ?
[20:00] <thedude42> Krumar: try a different video card, or don't use it for a desktop system
[20:00] <RyR88> Also, how does one switch the side the minimize, and close window buttons are on?
[20:00] <C-S-B> salil, i recomment against it, fairly strongly
[20:00] <brianl> DCGStudios: It still says no proprietary drivers are in use on this system while connected to the internet
[20:00] <bastid_raZor>  RyR88 have you added your accounts to empathy?
[20:00] <greezmunkey> C-S-B: salil agreed
[20:00] <salil> C-S-B: Fuck around.. I know ssh is more secure.. Bored now..
[20:00] <drizzt_> notmorewindows, lubuntu has no applets, it's for manual configuring
[20:01] <greezmunkey> yikes!
[20:01] <drizzt_> !controls > RyR88
[20:01] <C-S-B> salil, everything you want to do with telnet, you can do with ssh and more
[20:01] <Krumar> thedude42, don't have spare video cards for this computer and i just want to get a little extra life out of it
[20:01] <DCGstudios> brianl, okay.. can you go to System > Administration > Update manager, and press 'Check' as well and install anything you need to.
[20:01] <DCGstudios> brianl, then go ahead and check if any pop up.
[20:01] <brianl> DCGstudios: Okay will do, install all the updates?
[20:01] <Tazer> My basic view of the matter is Ubuntu nothing like either Windows OR OS X, it's just it's own thing. It's not particularly better or worse than either, also, because you need different forms of management and techology implementation to advance properly
[20:01] <salil> C-S-B: Can a windows machine connect using "telnet" ?
[20:02] <R0b0t1> Tazer: but, as you said, it is comparable, and it is free.
[20:02] <RyR88> drizzt_, awesome thanks
[20:02] <DCGstudios> brianl, yea all the software upgrades, if your a version pre-10.04 dont do a distribution upgrade, though.
[20:02] <Tazer> Personally I think it matches up perfectly well to either OS, and yes, the free part is a big advantage
 ok then. Thanks for your words. I'll find in google
[20:02] <brianl> I am using 10.04 LTS
[20:03] <Tazer> I was personally drawn to ubuntu as a main OS from the start because of the philosophy behind it
[20:03] <DCGstudios> Tazer, I feel like someone has me by the nuts when i use windows or OSX.
[20:03] <hoglahoo> if someone is willing to help me install alsa, please give me a shout.  I am not finding anything that works on the internets
[20:03] <brianl> DCGstudios: installing updates
[20:03] <Tazer> I haven't reached that stage :P I mostly used Windows up until now and I don't know linux very well(I just learned how to compile from source more or less okay)
[20:04] <thedude42> Krumar: have you looked at your restricted drivers options?
[20:04] <Tazer> Before my macbook i'd never touched any other OS, so I'm really brand new to this stuff
[20:04] <DCGstudios> Tazer, well thankfully for you, youll almost never have to install programs from source nowadays becuase repos have everything INCLUDING dependencys automaticlly.
[20:04] <Gigafide> what i mean by that is most adults and kids want the basic and easy look and feel so they pay 250 for windows 7 or for a mac  what i mean by noob users that more advanced users use ubuntu cause its not a kid toy like windows i mean a kid toy by new users new  to comps and not so good users on comps
[20:04] <notmorewindows> drizzt the  lubuntu bar hasnt a lanucher applet
[20:05] <Tazer> Yeah, I noticed that
[20:05] <Krumar> thedude42, i've been to System -> Admistratoin -> Hardware Drivers   but there is nothing listed in there
[20:05] <drizzt_> Gigafide, Windows is not a 'toy', it's enterprise-level OS
[20:05] <dafreak> The main reason that I run Windows 7 is because I'm also a gamer. Yes I know you can use WINE but the last time I tried that with EVE the crashes without warning weren't pleasant
[20:05] <Tazer> I've had to compile a few things recently like mupen64 and projectM, but while frustrating I enjoyed doing it. compiling can be fun when you manage not to screw up
[20:05] <codyzapp> is there anyway to install a ndiswrapper to a computer with no internet?
[20:05] <DCGstudios> Tazer, the only time i ever compile programs from source generally is if theyre for auditing.. 'apt-get' and synaptic cover 99% of the software youll ever need. and .5% will be covered in .deb files
[20:05] <drizzt_> notmorewindows, I believe it does
[20:06] <thedude42> Krumar: then you may want to google around for s3 and ubuntu.... i haven't used one of those cards in years
[20:06] <dafreak> codzyapp, get the files you need, put them on a usb key & then install?
[20:06] <Tazer> Yeah, the main reason I used Windows up until recently with my Macbook was because of my games
[20:06] <Tazer> But lately I'm not gaming as much and with Steam coming to linux now...
[20:06] <Krumar> thedude42, thank you for the help
[20:06] <ActionParsnip> Yo yo yo
[20:06] <Gigafide> windows is a toy to most linux users and mac im  sorry for saying that
[20:06] <hoglahoo> if someone is willing to help me install alsa, I'd appreciate it.  ubuntu is acting like it can't see my sound card - I'm starting to think I may have intermittent hardware issues
[20:06] <drizzt_> why backup tools for Ubuntu is such sh*t?
[20:06] <thedude42> Krumar: if you're looking for a quick fix, try seeing what 8.04 desktop gets you
[20:07] <Tazer> Well, I'm quickly losing my ties to Windows, which is great :3
[20:07] <ActionParsnip> Drizzt_: rsync is awesome :)
[20:07] <codyzapp> dafreak, ah well i dont know what or where to get the files :|
[20:07] <DCGstudios> Tazer, i still keep a 70g partition on my main box running windows 7 for games and nothing else, works very well and if i need to do ANYTHING else i just go on linux for the security and versatility.
[20:07] <SwedeMike> hoglahoo: just ask the question instead.
[20:07] <Krumar> thedude42, i may try that, this pc is just for fun, just would like to see it running the nice new stuff
[20:07] <ActionParsnip> Drizzt_: to backup the OS I use partimage
[20:07] <Tazer> I have a 130~gig windows partition
[20:07] <Tazer> but my problem is I'm too lazy to reboot just to play games ;w;
[20:07] <dafreak> codzyapp, i can point you to the files for ndiswrapper but you're also going to need the windows driver files
[20:08] <DCGstudios> Tazer, if your new and trying to make that transition i recommend downloading VirtualBox from synaptic and throwing a virtual windows machine on your linux partition.
[20:08] <MilitantPotato> I upgraded to Intrepid, I have KDE and Gnome installed, when I login to KDE, there's some sort of splash screen that never goes away.  If I log into a gnome session the same splash screen appears but goes away after the desktop has loaded.  How do I stop this splash screen from grabbin the desktop?
[20:08] <moza> Hi, i have a problem. I am trying to enable flash after having upgraded from hardy to lucid, but my firefox is now really really slow. not usable.
[20:08] <Gigafide> yeah once wine goes perfect or good  and we get some  game support no real reason to stay on windows we have i pod and all
[20:08]  * ActionParsnip hasn't had windows for years
[20:08] <codyzapp> Tazer, i have the files for that, thats no problem.
[20:08] <Tazer> I'm a spontaneous kind of gamer and I like doing lots of things at once so I tend to turn my games on and off at whim
[20:08] <MartyMcFly> if have a freshly installed and updated ubuntu 10.04 netbook remix on an eee900. I can't connect to an WPA2 secured access point. What do i have to do?
[20:08] <notmorewindows> drizzt i use for the brightness  nividia x server settings  , but i need an applet brightness for the lubuntu bar lxde
[20:08] <myrl> wpa ta mpiftekia
[20:08] <drizzt_> Gigafide, wine will never be fine, it's lag back forever
[20:08] <FiReSTaRT> moza: you might be forced to back up your files/settings and do a clean lucid install
[20:08] <ActionParsnip> Gigafide: why rely on wine. Some game devs make native installers, like ID software
[20:09]  * FiReSTaRT only uses Windows for a couple of packages that don't exist on other operating systems (no alternatives, either) and for keeping the crackberry up to date
[20:09] <Tazer> Yeah
[20:09] <ActionParsnip> Gigafide: penumbra is compiled for both win and lin
[20:09] <moza> FiReSTaRT, no way to get rid of something specific?
[20:09] <Tazer> I tried setting up a virtualbox system today and just gave up because my install CD decided not to work
[20:09] <ActionParsnip> Gigafide: look at the bigger picture :D
[20:09] <DCGstudios> Tazer, more often then not i just do my work on my macbook with linux. i never use all my resources even on a dual core / 2gb ram, even when running virtual machines. i keep my pc sleeping with windows up.
[20:09] <codyzapp> dafreak, i have those files.
[20:10] <Gigafide> i know its good i mean wine when it gets near good its good now i mean when its goes up to being perfect
[20:10] <drizzt_> how to make system sleep after a certain time?
[20:10] <DCGstudios> Tazer, the awsome thing is you dont need an install CD! just an ISO file!
[20:10] <FiReSTaRT> moza: there's always a way but who knows what got screwed up with firefox.. your best bet to get it working properly is just to do a clean install... takes less time than troubleshooting ff
[20:10] <SwedeMike> drizzt_: screensaver/power settings
[20:10] <myrl> martymcfly are you the marty mcfly from bzflag?
[20:10] <Tazer> And an activation code
[20:10] <Tazer> Which is my main problem right now!
[20:10] <basix> hey i'm on lucid lynx server and i want to install an older version of php5 - 5.2.9. Is it available in the repo or do I have to go hunting for it?
[20:10] <JenniferB> hi folks.. Id like the gnome default application switcher.. how can I enable it with compiz ?
[20:10] <drizzt_> which power settings?
[20:10] <JenniferB> I see in the compizConfig settings manager that there is an application switcher.. but its annoying how it works.. because it switches the background window as well... there is just to much going on.. i want the standard alt tab behaviour...
[20:10] <ActionParsnip> Drizzt_: look in power options under system -> admin (a please goes a long way too, and is free)
[20:10] <MartyMcFly> myrl: no
[20:10] <codyzapp> dafreak, point me to them please when you can :)
[20:10] <myrl> martymcfly lol nvm
[20:11] <SwedeMike> drizzt_: system->prefs->power
[20:11] <thedude42> basix: you need to go hunting
[20:11] <drizzt_> I don't have system->admin, i'm on LXDE
[20:11] <moza> FiReSTaRT, will i loose much if i keep my /home? it is in a separate partition. Would it be enough?
[20:11] <KingSeta> Aaaa only 50 minutes left... Please help! I do what you want... http://www.wolfire.com/humble
[20:11] <ActionParsnip> Drizt_: menu -> settings -> power (lxde is sweet)
[20:11] <lrcaballero> Hi! everyone, does anyone uses Songbird player? If yes have you had any problems after upgrading to 10.04 LTS with songbird and your m4a files?
[20:12] <ActionParsnip> Drizt_: its the config items in the main menu
[20:12] <Gigafide> does any one eles think that apples gonna released some dumb update that's gonna kill our ipod i phone support ?
[20:12] <basix> thedude42, damn. isn't there an archive where i could get all the versions of the same package?
[20:12] <FiReSTaRT> moza: the way i understand it is that you should be ok if you have /home on a separate partition.. unfortunately i don't have experience with installing the os that way because my current run of lucid is the first time i ever created a separate partition for it.. hopefully it should be ok
[20:12] <dafreak> codzyapp you're going to need ndisgtk (http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/net/ndisgtk) and ndiswrapper-common (http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/all/ndiswrapper-common/download)
[20:12] <SwedeMike> basix: no. downgrading versions like that means you'll lose out on security updates etc. fix the code instead.
[20:12] <ActionParsnip> Gigafide: I hope they just stop releasing anything
[20:12] <FiReSTaRT> guys, could somebody please confirm my previous statement to moza ?
[20:13] <dafreak> this is presuming that you're running 10.04
[20:13] <notmorewindows> drizzt , yes the lxde has limitations than others desktop
[20:13] <drizzt_> so is there some DE-independent way?
[20:13] <KingSeta> Please, i just need 0.1$ or anybody who buys it for me... what do you want for it?
[20:13] <FiReSTaRT> that a fresh install shouldn't do anything to a separate /home partition
[20:13] <codyzapp> thankyou dafreak and you should really consider typing cody and hitting the tab key. it auto completes a name in irc :)
[20:13] <drizzt_> I need you to shut the fuck up
[20:13] <basix> SwedeMike, this is a VM we're talking about and I"m trying to reproduce a environment that is present in production ( and i have zero control over its configuration )
[20:13] <thedude42> basix: yeah, you can dig through older dists' repositories, but you have to be careful not to accidentally break your system when you try to install a package that may have wierd dependancy issues with your current distro
[20:13] <drizzt_> sorry
[20:14] <ActionParsnip> Drizt_: if someone can fire the app and tell. You the process you can launch it yourself
[20:14] <FiReSTaRT> ok i'm off to get cleaned up and do some grocery shopping :)
[20:14] <FiReSTaRT> well groceries might wait a bit :P
[20:14] <drizzt_> ok i'll play with package manager then
[20:14] <dafreak> Anybody want to lend me a hand with my WPA issue on 10.04 LTS?
[20:14] <basix> thedude42, hm okay. thanks.
[20:14] <SwedeMike> basix: the reasons I stated is why there are not older versions in the repository. You could try finding an older version of ubuntu that has what you need, that is probably the easiest way.
[20:14] <ActionParsnip> !wpa | dafreak
[20:15] <basix> SwedeMike, okay. thanks!
[20:15] <fatman1683> Hi, I'm having some trouble installing Ubuntu over PXE
[20:15] <bullgard> What is to enter into the text field of the »Indicator Applet Session« 0.3.6?
[20:15] <anothernoob> goodevening #ubuntu
[20:15] <dafreak> Action, already tried what was suggested in the docs
[20:15] <fatman1683> I can get it to load to the installer screen, start installing, and copy two files, after which it goes to a black screen
[20:15] <onetinsoldier> !hi | anothernoob
[20:15] <fatman1683> anyone have an idea?
[20:15] <JenniferB> hi folks.. Id like the gnome default application switcher.. how can I enable it with compiz ?
[20:15] <JenniferB> I see in the compizConfig settings manager that there is an application switcher.. but its annoying how it works.. because it switches the background window as well... there is just to much going on.. i want the standard alt tab behaviour...
[20:16] <spikeb> you can turn off the app switcher and i think it goes back to the old alt-tab thing
[20:17] <notmorewindows> now with lubuntu my ram is on 17% with vista i had 40 per 100 or more
[20:17] <ActionParsnip> Spikeb: it might also do what the "move window" one does and enable on its own when you drag stuff
[20:17] <ActionParsnip> Notmorewindows: lxde is slick and light
[20:17] <anothernoob> i'm getting an error message pertaining to a block that does not seem to exist on that harddrive. it makes it impossible to boot backtrack, but gives the same error when i try to boot ubuntu from an usb-stick. gparted gives me a warning for sda4, whick apparently is an EFI-partition. what to do?
[20:17] <drizzt_> notmorewindows, because you didn't turn off superfetch
[20:17] <C-S-B> ActionParsnip, agreed
[20:17] <ActionParsnip> Notmorewindows: flwm is lighter still but isn't as usable
[20:18] <fatman1683> Anyone know why the installer would go to a black screen after loading the two initial files?
[20:18] <jkoltner> Anyone know if there's a simple terminal emulator (like minicom) in the Unbuntu repositories that will display incoming/outgoing characters in hexadecimal?
[20:18] <brianl> DCGstudios: I have to restart to complete installation, i will be right back
[20:18] <ActionParsnip> Jkoltner: xev maybe (if I understand right)
[20:19] <C-S-B> ActionParsnip, what is the lxde 'x' supposed to be?
[20:19] <DCGstudios> brianl, okay sounds good
[20:19] <ActionParsnip> C-s-b; (l)ight (x) (d)esktop (e)nvironemt afaik
[20:19] <jkoltner> Thanks ActionParsnip, I'll check it out
[20:19] <C-S-B> ActionParsnip, no, the actual icon
[20:20] <ActionParsnip> C-s-b: no idea. I think it looks like a mountain or a dead seagul. No idea
[20:20] <C-S-B> lol
[20:21] <ActionParsnip> C-s-b: is it not on the faq on the site?
[20:21] <notmorewindows> actionparsnip, lxde make less noise because with vista my  ventilators worked much , too much
[20:21] <MartyMcFly> anyone can help me with my WPA2 issue?
[20:21] <C-S-B> ActionParsnip, i am on the site, cant see a fag though
[20:21] <dafreak> Lemme guess Marty, you updated to 10.04 and now you can't connect to any WPA enabled network, right?
[20:21] <SwedeMike> jkoltner: don't you just need to know incoming in hex? if you specify what you actually need to do, it will be easier to help you.
[20:22] <MartyMcFly> dafreak: fresh installation
[20:22] <moza> I think i'll give up on flash and sound :( i don't want to reinstall everything.
[20:22] <MartyMcFly> dafreak: but i can't connect to any of our WPA2-APs
[20:22] <dafreak> MartyMcFly: Heh same issue really. Which wireless card do you have?
[20:22] <ActionParsnip> Moza: you on 64bit?
[20:22] <fatman1683> Can anyone help me with installing Ubuntu over PXE?
[20:22] <moza> no, 32 ActionParsnip
[20:22] <MartyMcFly> dafreak: builtin in the eee900, let me do a lshw...
[20:23] <drizzt_> ActionParsnip, it's the X letter which is touching it's 'toe' with its 'arms'
[20:23] <MartyMcFly> dafreak: AR5001
[20:23] <jkoltner> SwedeMike: The idea is to watch the exact output of a device (an oscilloscope, in particular) to look at, e.g., whether it uses just CR or LF or CR/LF, etc.  It's looking like CuteCom is a winner for this -- I'm downloading it now.  (Despite it needing 20+MB for all those QT libraries! :-) -- I have a default 10.04 Ubuntu install running Gnome, but oh well.)
[20:23] <dafreak> which driver is it using?
[20:23] <drizzt_> because it's so 'flexible'
[20:23] <ActionParsnip> Drizzt_: I see, funky
[20:23] <dafreak> MartyMcFly: Which driver is it using?
[20:23] <SwedeMike> fatman1683: https://wiki.koeln.ccc.de/index.php/Ubuntu_PXE_Install
[20:24] <MartyMcFly> dafreak: ath5k
[20:24] <jozefk> if I want to install Ubuntu 10.04 from USB but don;;t have an option in BIOS to boot from USB, what's the solution?
[20:24] <ActionParsnip> Moza: if you run: dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf
[20:24] <Random832> i'm doing updates (i was on beta2) - is it just me, or did the wireless network icon get narrower between beta2 and the current version?
[20:24] <mlistus> jozefk: there is a helper cdrom that can bootstrap to USB
[20:24] <fatman1683> SwedeMike: I've been following a similar guide, the PXE part works but the installation part doesn't, hangs on a black screen after the initial load
[20:24] <SwedeMike> jkoltner: oki, good. otherwise you could probably just dump the text in the terminal program and use hex to watch the output (hopefully it wasnt converted)
[20:24] <mlistus> jozefk: but i dont remember where i saw it
[20:24] <jkoltner> jozefk: Do you have a CD ROM drive on that machine?
[20:25] <jozefk> mlistus, where is that CD or tutorial/manual?
[20:25] <ActionParsnip> Moza: remove all those packages so you have no flash at all. Then grab the 32bit tar.gz for 10.1 and copy the .so file to your plugins folder
[20:25] <jkoltner> SwedeMike: Yeah, capturing & then using, e.g., hexdump is what I've been doing, I'm just wanting something a little more "interactive"
[20:25] <mlistus> jozefk: if i recall, it was in knoppix in 2006
[20:25] <jozefk> jkoltner, yes there is a CDrom drive. I could start booting from CD but I want to install it from USB
[20:25] <Gozar> How do I enable two 8400GS for 3 monitors in 10.04 with Nouveau?
[20:25] <bullgard> What is to enter into the text field of the »Indicator Applet Session« 0.3.6?
[20:25] <SwedeMike> jkoltner: check, I'll remember cutecom then, I've just been using gtkterm so far, but I never needed to dump the traffic
[20:25] <AbuBadr> hi there
[20:26] <SwedeMike> jkoltner: don't really like minicom myself, never did.
[20:26] <moza> ActionParsnip, i'll paste this somewhere
[20:26] <moza> !paste
[20:26] <AbuBadr> is there a way to control fan speed?
[20:26] <moza> !pastebin
[20:26] <DCGstudios> AbuBadr, get a fan controller is the best way
[20:26] <dafreak> MartyMcFly: Yeah seeing a lot of posts on the ubuntu forums on those cards as well, none have been marked solved yet....
[20:26] <onetinsoldier> AbuBadr: don't know. i only know there is a packaged named 'fancontrol'
[20:26] <ActionParsnip> Moza: its how I install flash personally. I don't use the repo way as I have my own setup script to make things nice :)
[20:26] <DCGstudios> AbuBadr, but i think there are some programs that can do it
[20:26] <jkoltner> SwedeMike: minicom just seemed to be what I first stumbled upon a year or so ago -- I do get a bit of nostalgia from it's old Procomm Plus-type interface.  gtkterm does the same thing? -- I've never used it; I'll try it.
[20:26] <brianl> DCGstudios: Now that i have updated and rebooted the task bar at the top right has some black spaces in it where the internet connection icon is supposed to be...
[20:26] <onetinsoldier> !fancontrol | AbuBadr
[20:27] <ActionParsnip> Moza: no need, just remove the packages
[20:27] <DCGstudios> brianl, can you see the drivers now?
[20:27] <moza> ok ActionParsnip , i'll try that.
[20:27] <onetinsoldier> we lose ubottu?
[20:27] <onetinsoldier> !info fancontrol
[20:27] <DCGstudios> apparently we did
[20:27] <jkoltner> SwedeMike: Ah, gtkterm of course would have a proper GUI... that's certainly a nice benefit. :-)
[20:27] <onetinsoldier> roger
[20:27] <ActionParsnip> !botsnack
[20:27] <SwedeMike> jkoltner: gtkterm is the one I found that was easy enough to rnu serial under linux with, that supported usb serial port easily.
[20:27] <pete1> hey guys, I've switched to Lucid; how can I tell pulseaudio to mute front speakers but not headphones?
[20:27] <AbuBadr> DCGstudios, where to get that fan controller?
[20:27] <anothernoob> at boot i'm getting an error message pertaining to a block that does not seem to exist on that harddrive. it makes it impossible to boot backtrack, only leading to initramfs, but gives the same error when i try to boot ubuntu from an usb-stick. ubuntu eventually starts however. gparted gives me a warning for sda4, whick apparently is an EFI-partition. what to do?
[20:28] <brianl> DCG: It still says no proprietary drivers are in use on this system
[20:28] <ActionParsnip> Onetinsoldier: won't even do it for a botsnack
[20:28] <onetinsoldier> ActionParsnip: i saw that
[20:28] <Brian2898> can you install ubuntu to USB from ubuntu live cd?
[20:28] <mate> hy
[20:28] <DCGstudios> AbuBadr, I picked up my fan controller at Frys.. Im sure you can get them at a fairly large computer store or online (newegg.com is my recommendation).
[20:28] <SwedeMike> jkoltner: it even does drop-down menus when selecting serial ports, finding ttyUSB0 etc automatically
[20:28] <ActionParsnip> Brian2898: totally
[20:28] <DCGstudios> AbuBadr, they run anywhere from 20-50$
[20:28] <Brian2898> What filesystem do you choose when you install to usb
[20:28] <Matr|X> hi evry body i wish for all good health
[20:28] <Brian2898> i dont want journaled
[20:29] <ActionParsnip> Brian2898: ext2 will prolong its life
[20:29] <Brian2898> is ext2 journaled
[20:29] <rsk> no
[20:29] <onetinsoldier> ActionParsnip: pretty slow response. but he finally showed up
[20:29] <Jordan_U> Brian2898: no
[20:29] <ActionParsnip> Brian2898: no, ext3 is ext2 + journal
[20:29] <Matr|X> i have abig problme now on my ubuntu server http://paste.ubuntu.com/433990/
[20:30] <ActionParsnip> Brian2898: the journal will get written to quite a bit
[20:30] <Matr|X> can any body help me with that errors
[20:30] <brianl> DCGstudios: Did you see that?
[20:31] <DCGstudios> brianl, sorry i didnt until just now..
[20:31] <DCGstudios> brianl, can you open a terminal and run 'lspci | grep Network' and post the output here
[20:31] <Matr|X> http://paste.ubuntu.com/433990/
[20:31] <Matr|X> plz
[20:32] <jkoltner> SwedeMike: So when I run gtkterm, it works fine, although it makes the taskbar go a bit crazy, adding/removing its program icon at a very rapid rate.  Weird!
[20:32] <Matr|X> some one have exprince help me with that error massge
[20:32] <SwedeMike> jkoltner: weird, but I haven't tried it under 10.04, only 8.10 - 9.10
[20:32] <brianl> DCG: no output
[20:32] <jkoltner> SwedeMike: Ah, it stopped after I opened and closed its configuration dialog... good enough
[20:32] <SwedeMike> Matr|X: you need to provide more information, nobody can help you with only that.
[20:33] <felon> hmm
[20:33] <leagris> how do I get volume id of a partition ?
[20:33] <SwedeMike> leagris: blkid

[20:33] <leagris> thanks SwedeMike as the fstab mention vol_id but can't find this command
[20:33] <ActionParsnip> Leagris: sudo blkid
[20:33] <DCGstudios> brianl, can you open a terminal and run 'lspci | grep 802.11 | grep 802.3' then
[20:34] <MartyMcFly> dafreak: thanks
[20:34] <ActionParsnip> Dcgstudios: could use: sudo lshw -C network ,too
[20:34] <brianl> DCG: No output
[20:34] <DCGstudios> ActionParsnip, yea good idea probably more effecient
[20:34] <Matr|X> some one have exprince help me with that error massge

[20:37] <Matr|X> ActionParsnip whst is that erros mean brother
[20:37] <moza> ActionParsnip, i tried to remove all the packages following what you told me, but firefox is still slow after that and before reinstalling flash.
[20:37] <ActionParsnip> Matr|x: are there any instructions around on how to run it?
[20:37] <DCGstudios> brainl, ill take a look.
[20:38] <brianl> Okay thank you
[20:38] <Matr|X> yes
[20:38] <theoros> i can't find anything in /var/log/syslog about it
[20:38] <Matr|X> i had worked with it so meny time befor and it was working very good
[20:38] <ActionParsnip> Moza: firefox with flash is slow
[20:38] <arand> leagris: Presuming it was created with mount --bind, a simple umount should take care of it.
[20:38] <DCGstudios> brainl, what kind of wireless card are you using? or is it a dongle or something?
[20:38] <ActionParsnip> Matr|x is there a ppa with it on?
[20:38] <Matr|X> wht a ppa
[20:38] <Matr|X> ?
[20:38] <Matr|X> i dont know ?
[20:39] <ActionParsnip> Matr|x: do you have the minimum python version to run it?

[20:40] <DCGstudios> ActionParsnip, if no wireless card showed up in lshw then is it even going to be able to work?
[20:40] <ActionParsnip> Moza: try chromium or arora. They are much faster
[20:40] <Matr|X> can i pm u brother
[20:40] <Matr|X> ActionParsnip
[20:40] <bullgard> What is to enter into the text field of the »Indicator Applet Session« 0.3.6?
[20:40] <moza> ActionParsnip, i know, but here i'm trying to run firefox _without_ flash. And there is a difference between the "slow" i had before, and this "so slow that it is unusable" that i have now :)
[20:40] <brianl> DCG: Its a BCM43xx, thats what i had to use for another dist
[20:40] <jkoltner> swedemike: Which version of GTKTerm are you using?  I'm finding the one in Ubuntu's repositories -- 0.99.5 -- seems to have some weird display problems with hex data... but it looks like there are much newer versions on-line.
[20:40] <leagris> arand, it does not appear in mount
[20:41] <SwedeMike> jkoltner: I was using the one that came with 9.10 etc, but I never tried to hexdump with it
[20:41] <ActionParsnip> Moza: or maybe the mozilla ppa to get a later build of the same browser
[20:41] <DCGstudios> brianl, im using a bcm4328.. So im familiar with it but i dont see it on your lshw.. can you try to run 'lspci | grep Broadcom'
[20:41] <shamrock> hello
[20:41] <leagris> arand, did umount /nfsroot/sys and now it is ok
[20:41] <jkoltner> SwedeMike: ok, thanks... hmm, apparently I'm wrong about the version, 0.99.5 is the latest on the guy's web site.
[20:42] <brianl> 10:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM5787M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 02)
[20:42] <arand> leagris: Good :)
[20:42] <awef> Hi!
[20:43] <arand> anothernoob: Have you tried running an fsck?
[20:43] <glick> excuse me does anyone know why my sound keeps on fading to silence when i am listening to something through my headphones?
[20:43] <DCGstudios> brianl, yea its not detecting your wireless card.. generally its as easy as installing the drivers to get bcm43xx's to work.. run 'sudo apt-get update' and check for the drivers again.
[20:43] <Marfi> How do I change the runlevel in 10.04? I want to use runlevel 3, but it seems that there is no /etc/inittab....
[20:43] <glick> then if i listen to another song or something
[20:43] <leagris> arand, I try to bootstrap Lucid for fat diskless clients
[20:43] <glick> it starts normal and then slowly fades to silence again
[20:43] <Matr|X> ok sorry
[20:43] <bastid_raZor> !runlevel | Marfi
[20:43] <anothernoob> arand, yes, on the backtrack ext3. the block that's reffered to in the error is not in that partition however. as a matter of fact, it doesn't seem to be in any partition
[20:44] <Matr|X> wht is that mean TypeError: Non-hexadecimal digit found
[20:44] <anothernoob> arrand, and that fsck did fix the backtrack ext3 partiton
[20:44] <glick> now my sound is totaly gone
[20:44] <glick> it keeps fading to silence
[20:44] <Ganymede> j #google-chrome
[20:44] <brianl> DC: okay i ran that..
[20:44] <glick> why does it do that?
[20:44] <awef> I have a little question, i searched a lot on google but didn't find and answer.  I installed a lot of packages and messed a lot with ubuntu and i wan't to reinstall a fresh version, can i do it with apt-get or dpkg?
[20:44] <Marfi> !Upstart
[20:44] <Ganymede> sorry about that
[20:44] <glick> now i have sound agian but its fading out again
[20:44] <glick> what the hell
[20:45] <DCGstudios> brianl, theres still no drivers in System > Administration > Hardware drivers?
[20:45] <SwedeMike> awef: no, you have to install it from scratch
[20:45] <Marfi> Some things should be left alone.../me sighes at Canonical
[20:45] <brianl> DCG: nope...
[20:45] <Flannel> awef: What sort of messing did you do?  Do you just want to get back to "default" packages installed? or did you make config changes? (user ones? or did you edit things in /etc?)
[20:45] <awef> SwedeMike> and if i only want to delete the packages that don't come with ubuntu by default, is it possible?
[20:45] <brianl> maybe i should reboot again, the top status bar has some big black spots in it like something is wrong with it
[20:46] <awef> yeah exactly
[20:46] <DCGstudios> brianl, okay then lets see if we can just get them from the repository, run 'sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source'    then restart and try
[20:46] <awef> i juste want to get the default packages
[20:46] <SwedeMike> awef: not that I know of.
[20:46] <arand> anothernoob: I'm not really sure then, I guess you could get some more info from palimpsest or smartctl as far as bad blocks etc. goes...
[20:46] <brianl> Is there a gui IRC program that comes with ubuntu? this epic is kinda frustrating :D
[20:46] <DCGstudios> brianl, it can glitch out once in a while, if you right click where the notifications are and press 'remove from panel' then right click the panel and press 'add to panel' then select 'notification area' it should be fixed.
[20:47] <awef> by the way sorry for my english.. i speak french XD
[20:47] <Flannel> brianl: xchat and/or xchat-gnome
[20:47] <DCGstudios> brianl, 'sudo apt-get install xchat'
[20:47] <moza> awef : you can try on #ubuntu-fr
[20:47] <awef> Flannel> I juste wan't to get the default packages that comes with ubuntu, do you know a way?
[20:47] <SwedeMike> brianl: if you want to run cli, then use "irssi" instead of epic
[20:47] <brianl> DCG: Okay it is installing the bcmwl
[20:47] <awef> moza> thanks :)
[20:47] <TonyV> Hey all, I'm having a problem trying to install Ubuntu when I get to the Prepare disk space step. I have two mirrored 1.5 GB data drives and a 128 GB SSD OS drive. It looks like the installer isn't seeing my SSD drive. It shows up in GParted and Disk Utility, though. Anyone have any ideas?
[20:47] <Flannel> awef: Yeah, there's no way that I know of to do it automatically (push this button, sort of thing) but it's certainly doable with a small bit of work.
[20:48] <brianl> DCG: Okay i ran that command, should i reboot now?
[20:48] <anothernoob> arand, the log gives me a block number. could any of those commands give me more info, or thell me why it seems that it isn't a part of any partition? is it normal for ubuntu to dislike EFI-partitions, or could the fault be there? that's the partition closest to the faulty block, and gparted flags it as strange
[20:48] <DCGstudios> brianl, yes, if the installation is finished restart your computer.
[20:48] <awef> Flannel> Ok thanks
[20:49] <brianl> DCG: Okay, ill brb
[20:49] <DCGstudios> brianl, sounds good ill be here.
[20:49] <Evolution> Is there a decent how-to on installing/configuring gdm themes?
[20:49] <TonyV> I pick "Specify partitions manually" and click Forward. On the next screen, I have /dev/mapper/nvidia_dgdiadie, with one 1.5 TB partition showing up (my data partition), but that's all.
[20:49] <Evolution> I can't really seem to find a decent set of instructions via google, and gdmsetup doesn't offer a theme option
[20:49] <Cork[home]> is there a way to prevent wine from adding its programs to the applications menu?
[20:50] <m_tadeu> my laptop just reboots by itself....what can be wrong?
[20:50] <Flannel> awef: What I would do (there's likely other ways to go about this) would be to hop on a liveCD, save the output of dpkg -l, then come back to your install, dpkg -l, diff them, and purge the packages that aren't installed by default (they'll show up in the diff)
[20:50] <bastid_raZor> Cork[home]: edit menu .. and uncheck them. right click on applications > edit menus
[20:50] <thedude42> Evolution: you mean to change the login look-and-feel?
[20:51] <nss> hello
[20:51] <arand> anothernoob: I don't know enough to answer any of that I'm afraid :(  palimsest and smartctl will get the S.M.A.R.T. data for the disk, but I don't know if it'll be of much help in this case...
[20:51] <Evolution> thedude42: yep.
[20:51] <anothernoob> arand, thanks anyway=)
[20:51] <Cork[home]> bastid_raZor: i mean more like preventing them ending up there att all, i use one of my wine profiles to extract windows installers, that a then copy out of wine to use in linux, then clear the profile
[20:51] <HenrikV> is there a python package for resolving prefix/etc-dir/.. given an executable. IE what is the etc path for nginx
[20:51] <awef> Flannel: yeah great idea thank you :)
[20:52] <Cork[home]> bastid_raZor: its getting old removing all the automaticly created application links
[20:52] <Evolution> thedude42: all I'm seeing are "ZOMG HARD" and reports like this -> http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/23982/
[20:52] <thedude42> anothernoob: sorry I am just looking at your questions.... what tool is indicating you have a bad block, fsck?
[20:53] <Flannel> Evolution: From what I've heard (this was true for Karmic, not sure about Lucid), the new GDM (it was a rewrite) doesn't have support for themes yet
[20:53] <Monotoko> hiya....does anyone know how i can run one line under sudo at startup?
[20:53] <anothernoob> thedude42, that is from the dmesg log
[20:53] <thedude42> anothernoob: what category, kernel, smartctl...?
[20:53] <Jordan_U> Monotoko: What are you trying to accomplish?
[20:54] <Monotoko> Jordan_U my mobile broadband does not work unless i run: "sudo usb_modeswitch" every bootup....i want to make the computer do it automatically
[20:54] <Evolution> Flannel: well crap.
[20:54] <anothernoob> thedude42, i'm sorry, but i don't quite know. how do i find out?
[20:54] <Evolution> that's not at all what I wanted to hear.
[20:55] <TonyV> Hey all, I'm having a problem trying to install Ubuntu when I get to the Prepare disk space step. I have two mirrored 1.5 GB data drives and a 128 GB SSD OS drive. It looks like the installer isn't seeing my SSD drive. It shows up in GParted and Disk Utility, though. Any ideas?
[20:55] <thedude42> anothernoob: the bracketed text in dmesg output, like [kernel] or [kvm]
[20:55] <Jordan_U> Monotoko: Add it to /etc/rc.local , but if you haven't already please file a bug report about the problem you are having.
[20:55] <brianl> DCGstudios, okay i am back
[20:55] <SwedeMike> TonyV: raid bios settings?
[20:56] <thedude42> anothernoob: sorry, i misspoke, the time is in brackets in dmesg output....
[20:56] <DCGstudios> brianl, any luck?
[20:56] <Monotoko> Jordan_U, okay, i know what the problem is too...its detecting my USB stick as a removable disk drive because it has an install partition
[20:56] <thedude42> anothernoob: the first thing after the time in dmesg, before the first :
[20:56] <TonyV> The mirrored drives are set up as RAID 1.  The SSD is set up as a stripe, but only has one disk.
[20:56] <Evolution> okay, how about this question then. is there a method using apt to search for a given file? I know on fedora/rhel boxen you can do this with 'yum provides /your/file/here'
[20:56] <DCGstudios> brianl, youll need to go to System > Administration > Hardware Drivers to active it.
[20:56] <Evolution> is there a similar method for apt?
[20:56] <Monotoko> Jordan_U will it run the script as root if i put it in /etc/rc.local ?
[20:56] <anothernoob> thedude42, i'll try finding it
[20:56] <Jordan_U> Evolution: apt-file search
[20:56] <brianl> DCGstudios, I did that and it still says no drivers..weird
[20:56] <Jordan_U> Monotoko: Yes
[20:57] <Evolution> Jordan_U: sexy. thanks.
[20:57] <Monotoko> grand, thank you
[20:57] <Jordan_U> Evolution: You're welcome.
[20:57] <SwedeMike> TonyV: try removing the raid1 drives and set it to ahci in bios, then you'll know if this is causing the problem.
[20:57] <TonyV> I'll give that a try, SwedeMike.
[20:58] <anothernoob> thedude42, is ata1.00 what we're looking for?
[20:58] <arand> Evolution: http://www.ubuntumini.com/2009/09/hack-karmics-gdm-login-screen.html Has a few pointers.
[20:58] <Flannel> Evolution: Hmm, that might not be accurate, actually.  `gksudo -u gdm gnome-appearance-properties` should get you something.  See The rest of this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1453456#5
[20:59] <DCGstudios> brianl, really? very very stange. try this 'sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter'
[20:59] <anothernoob> thedude42, that's the first thing after the brackets, but before the :
[20:59] <nss> hi, I have intel audio HD in my hp G62 laptop and i'm not able to hear any sound from speakers i can hear only sound from a headset through the audio output
[20:59] <DCGstudios> brianl, it should take you through a configuration setup to setup your drivers
[21:00] <brianl> DCGstudios, okay it is running
[21:00] <thedude42> anothernoob: yeah, ok, so that's definitely a bad block from the driver.... is this on the disk that has the / file system?
[21:00] <brianl> DCGstudios, Thanks alot i really appreciate the help
[21:00] <DrGrov> Gotta ask...
[21:01] <DCGstudios> brianl, not a problem, generally it never takes this long for bcm43xx drivers in my expierence though lol. usually a snap.
[21:01] <anothernoob> thedude42, well, sda has both my windows file system and my backtrack / file system. windows works with no problem, i can access the backtrack / via ubuntu live usb
[21:01] <DrGrov> I have a keyboard with multimedia keys and all keys work except that I hate that the "sleep" key makes my computer freeze up like it is hibernated. The problem is that I can't get the computer responding anymore after accidentally pressing the "sleep" button.
[21:02] <Monotoko> Jordan_U it does not appear to be running it....
[21:02] <Evolution> Flannel and arand: thanks for the pointers!
[21:02] <Monotoko> i still have to run it manually
[21:02]  * Evolution reads
[21:02] <nss> hi, I have intel audio HD in my hp G62 laptop and i'm not able to hear any sound from speakers i can hear only sound from a headset through the audio output. any idea please?
[21:03] <thedude42> anothernoob: and you said you identified the location of the bad block, or is that what you're trying to figure out so you can fix this issue?
[21:03] <DrGrov> I appreciate some kind of help if I can turn off the key somehow.
[21:03] <Monotoko> Jordan_U ahhh i put sudo...it didnt like it, getting rid of sudo worked
[21:03] <Etu> Hi, I want to disable autorun of gdm, I tried: sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove
[21:03] <drizzt_> DrGrov, even pressing power button on chassis?
[21:03] <Etu> And gdm is still starts up
[21:04] <_fynn> hi.. i activated ip forwarding via sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.all.forwarding=1.. however, the change isn't permanent. after rebooting there's again 0 in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward.. why is that? sysctl should have changed it permanently, shouldn't it?
[21:04] <thedude42> anothernoob: because local installs of backtrack can be tricky unless you're familiar with the kernel boot process
[21:05] <Testfunc23> hello, I've been renamning my files today with the 'rename' command. but 5 minutes ago something really weird happend, i made a new query and submitted it, but suddenly it says 'unknow option .' same for s r and t. what happend, I'm not giving those options (i tried for instance rename -n 's/.//' *, which gave me the same output), where do those .srt come from?
[21:05] <anothernoob> thedude42, well, the bad blocks location i took from the dmesg log. that block is not in any of my partitions. gparted however, does flag that something strange is going on with the EFI-partition. it doesn't recognize it as efi at all actually
[21:05] <Gintulis> flash is crach on chromium (build 6.0.xxxx)?
[21:05] <anothernoob> thedude42, alse, the efi seems to be closest to the faulty block blockwise
[21:06] <Elwedge> Hi people, totally newbiw here and non techy...needs help
[21:06] <arand> !help | Elwedge
[21:06] <nss> hi, I have intel audio HD in my hp G62 laptop and i'm not able to hear any sound from speakers i can hear sound only from a headset through the audio output. any idea please?
[21:06] <thedude42> anothernoob: what does parted see exactly?
[21:06] <DrGrov> drizzt_, yes it doesn't seem to respond when i press the power button on the chassis. i got a god damn kernel panic after i powered off and restarted. but after a new fresh restart and shutdown later there was no kernel panic visible.
[21:07] <Elwedge> I am unable to open some chat programs in ubuntu and firefox
[21:07] <anothernoob> thedude42: gparted shows me a warning triangle next to sda4, which is recognized as an efi-partiton by both windows and fdisk
[21:08] <Testfunc23> @nss check the output device system - preferences - sound - output
[21:08] <Elwedge> when i get the adobe allow or deny box nothing works when i click on it
[21:08] <Testfunc23> do you have the flash player installed properly, which browser do you use
[21:08] <onetinsoldier> Testfunc23: not sure what's up there. how long, or man times... have you tried this part of your command? 's/.//'
[21:08] <onetinsoldier> many*
[21:08] <Evolution> _fynn: iirc you have to set the changes in /etc/sysctl.conf to make them survive a reboot
[21:09] <Elwedge> firefox and chromium, they both behave the same
[21:09] <Testfunc23> onetinsoldier, the weird thing is it only gives the erros in that particular map
