[00:00] <rodgerr> sebsebseb: no particular reason
[00:00] <Guest81063> huh
[00:00] <rodgerr> sebsebseb: I'm old and hard to keep track of all the data flow
[00:00] <night1ne> How do you view hidden folders while in terminal?
[00:01] <Billiard> night1ne: ls -a
[00:01] <DasEi2> Guest81063: still the upgrade ?
[00:01] <Slart> night1ne: ls -a shows them, I think
[00:01] <sebsebseb> rodgerr: just  checking with some guys for any suggestions, before I put something proper hold on
[00:01] <night1ne> Ah, thanks much Billiard.
[00:01] <kpoman> hello guys
[00:02] <kpoman> I need some advice: I want to manually configure 2 connexions: one for a 3g usb chip, and the other one for an eth0 interface
[00:02] <mow> I'm having problems with usb not responding without a reboot... after using tv wonder 600
[00:03] <kpoman> the problem is that the ubuntu netwokr manager keeps changing stuff, putting dhcp, deleting the dns I manually add, etc... please, can someone tell me how to disable the 'secretary' config tools and use the main linux tools ?
[00:03] <kpoman> or at least let me know where and which files configure network behaviour on linux ?
[00:03] <tado> hey all. i am setting up a proxy (i think that is what tor is...!), but it seems to block firefox entirely. any help?
[00:04] <tado> sorry... tor gives anonimity, privoxy should be the proxy
[00:05] <sebsebseb> rodgerr: Flash generally is  a bit hmm since propritary format and can sometimes cause issues with Firefox on Ubuntu.   However  according to one of the guys you can make with Open Office Impress, add your voice, and then convert it to Flash.   I was also given this articlehttp://www.linux.com/news/software/applications/81113-openoffice-impress-features by another one
[00:05] <VCoolio> tado: did you set the proxy settings in firefox preferences?
[00:05] <tado> it does it automatically when i turn tor on, the thing is that i cannot browse anymore
[00:06] <tado> VCoolio: it does it automatically when i turn tor on, the thing is that i cannot browse anymore (sorry, missed the name :) )
[00:06] <Slart> tado: it's not a dns resolution thing? can you use firefox with straight ip numbers?
[00:06] <tado> Slart: you mean with tor on?
[00:06] <sebsebseb> rodgerr: http://www.linux.com/news/software/applications/81113-openoffice-impress-features
[00:06] <mow> is there a way to restart usb without a reboot?
[00:06] <Slart> tado: yes.. try http://<IP_ADDRESS>  it should get you a google page
[00:06] <rodgerr> sebsebseb: I am familiar with the ability to record for individual slides - it is an option - was looking for something that combined the slides and possibly kept track of the time of the audio (Students only listen for about 15 minutes before tuning out)  I will look at the link you snet
[00:07] <rodgerr> sent
[00:07] <tado> Slart: nope.. can't open it. it says the proxy is refusing the connection
[00:07] <Slart> tado: hmm.. is the proxy running?
[00:08] <tado> Slart: how do i check it?
[00:08] <Slart> tado: well.. I'm not really sure..=/
[00:08] <tado> Slart: :)
[00:09] <mow> blah
[00:09] <nks__> torproject.org click on doc then stroll down the page to tor check...
[00:09] <tado> Slart: Tor proxy test: Internal error
[00:10] <neon_> i have a tv tuner card that i was able to install on ubuntu as it has drivers for it, what application can i use to watch tv? thx
[00:10] <Slart> tado: I would have a second look at the proxy... I don't really know what to look for.. but that's where I'd start searching
[00:10] <mow> neon_ > mythtv
[00:11] <nks__> There's no problem with every other version I've used, but with 9.10 I get the exact same thing. Virtualbox with ubuntu 9.04 works perfect with no problem..
[00:11] <kavurt> mow: what's the problem? is usb port not working?
[00:11] <kpoman> can someone tell me which is the network configuration file in ubuntu ?
[00:11] <dahud> I am attempting to install splashy, but during the make, I get the following error: error processing splashy_0.3.13-3ubuntu1_amd64.deb (--install): trying to overwrite `/etc/lsb-base-logging.sh', which is also in package lsb-base
[00:11] <mow> kavurt > it quits and lsusb hangs
[00:11] <sebsebseb> rodgerr: If timed properly it woudn't matter?  Also time intervals can be added to the slides.
[00:11] <SliMM> hello
[00:11] <neon_> mow: i will try that thx
[00:12] <tado> Slart: i'm really not very familiar with these things...
[00:12] <Slart> tado: neither am I, I'm sorry to say
[00:12] <SliMM> any suggestions on where to start from replacing my arch linux bsd-style init system with upstart?
[00:12] <Slart> tado: but I'm sure there's someone in here that knows more than I do
[00:12] <tado> Slart: all right, let's see if anybody is :)
[00:13] <anathematic> on ubuntu how do I remove something from the startup items so I can add it again?
[00:13] <tado> hey all. problems with setting up tor with privoxy, and basically i can't browse the net when the proxy is on, anybody knows how to look into that?
[00:13] <anathematic> or once it's added updating the /etc/init.d/foo is enough?
[00:14] <mow> kavurt > I can only get a reboot to fix it
[00:15] <night1ne> Do I need a tv tuner to run mythtv?
[00:15] <Billiard> night1ne: no
[00:15] <Billiard> night1ne: but thats what it is used for a lot
[00:16] <night1ne> Okay. Does it work for Karmic?
[00:16] <mow> kavurt > tail -f /var/log/message shows nothing when you plug a usb in
[00:16] <nks__> anathematic ---system -> Preferences-> start up applications (uncheck or delete)
[00:17] <finsyourfriend> Problem: System sound works, Sound from CD's work, vids from Apple's website play video and audio, and Youtube vids play, but I've got no sound in either Youtube or Hulu, and videos don't play in Hulu either.
[00:17] <luis_> Need your help people: My Kubuntu Laptop is not able to detect my Mini SD Adapter: Doesnt show, but my windows pc is able, whats happening?!
[00:17] <tado> any help with setting up tor and provoxy? it won't load any page and i get this error: Tor proxy test: Internal error
[00:18] <rodgerr> Sebsebseb: It is a lot of extra work, but doable.  Each presentation would have to be broken into 15 minutes segments, the audio would have to be made in some other application, then the audio files incorporated into impress and then compiled into flash.  I could do the smae thing in Power Point but the Authorgen product did it all in one app and it would be nice to have the same functionality in
[00:18] <rodgerr> Linux.
[00:19] <david_> ssh: connect to host foo.dyndns.org port 22: Connection refused;;; how can i make this stop happneing?
[00:19] <Helsinkiii> hi

[00:20] <Helsinkiii> like..100% gone and irretrievable
[00:20] <seanbrant> this is more of a mail smtp question, but here it goes, i have an app that needs to deal with emails and process them, is it better to create a proxy or just grab messages from the mbox
[00:20] <luis_> Need your help people: My Kubuntu Laptop is not able to detect my Mini SD Adapter: Doesnt show, but my windows pc is able, whats happening?!
[00:20] <DasEi2> Helsinkiii: man wipe
[00:20] <Scunizi> david_: do you have kport 22 forwarded to a machine on your router?
[00:20] <Scunizi> luis_: you can ask in #kubuntu too
[00:21] <Helsinkiii> DasEi2:man wipe?

[00:27] <fokuslee> hi newb question, how do i change the text color of gnome panel?
[00:28] <lucas__> DasEi2: cause today i had to purge a program and re-install. I was curious if there is any command line to do that
[00:29] <DasEi2> lucas__: f.e. sudo apt-get remove --purge ufw && sudo apt-get install ufw   will do so

[00:31] <unko> hey guys, im pretty familier with ubuntu i've been using it for about 2 years now and i know lots. but i was trying to figure out how to get s-video out onn my laptop which has a ATI x1400 card. so i tried to edit my xorg.conf file but when i opened it up it was empty... any ideas?
[00:31] <Xodiac13> can someone help me plz i need to kill firefox and i have tried xkill it doesnt work
[00:31] <afd> hola
[00:32] <afd> alguien sabe configurar el mando distancia en ubuntu
[00:32] <ctop> 11-18-09@19:26:28<ctop> killall firefox
[00:32] <mow> Xodiac13 > ps aux |grep firefox  then kill pid
[00:32] <jtaji> Xodiac13: try: pkill firefox
[00:32] <Xodiac13> mow: k
[00:32] <Xodiac13> jtaji: thank you
[00:32] <Xodiac13> jtaji: it worked
[00:33] <Scunizi> unko: the latest system is controlled by xrandr.. check in wiki.ubuntu.com/community (I think) .. there's a page that talks specifically about that.
[00:33] <DasEi2> unko: most drivers have moved to the kernel, though xorg still works, too. since xorg later hardy the smaller ati's aren't supported anymore from ati propi-drivers, that could become some hassle then
[00:33] <DasEi2> Xodiac13: sudo killall firefox ?
[00:33] <unko> DasEi2, i heard the ATI drivers are built in now?
[00:34] <Xodiac13> DasEi2: thank you it worked
[00:34] <Scunizi> unko: only for some of the cards.
[00:34] <ctop> Xodiac13 killall firefix didnt work?
[00:34] <unko> Scunizi, when i try to do this command : xrandr --addmode S-video 800x600 a ERROR comes up
[00:34] <Scunizi> unko: I'm not the right one to figure this one out
[00:34] <Xodiac13> ctop: i tried the pkill firefox
[00:35] <DasEi2> unko: they are, and they became better, but still are not as good as the vendors ones, unless you find so with your model, gotto google ubuntu spdif ati 1400
[00:35] <unko> Scunizi, ok but do you know if the ati x1400 is supported? i mean compiz works fine and i get like 6000+ frames with glxgears
[00:35] <ctop> Xodiac13 oh you must not have seen my messages before that
[00:35] <Scunizi> unko: sorry I don't.. and you might be using the opensource drivers which may not address the svideo
[00:36] <hello> Hi, I"m on Ibex and I installed an old nvidia driver - very bad. How do I revert to default free driver?
[00:36] <Xodiac13> ctop: no sorry man thanks for the help though
[00:36] <unko> Scunizi, thanks for the heads up
[00:36] <mow> is there a way to restart usb without a reboot?
[00:36] <DasEi2> unko : the sdpif must be enabled on the card

[00:40] <hello> armence: When I rebooted, ubuntu showed me a really basic looking window and told me it was defaulting to this basic driver becaue the other one wasn't working. There were a number of other options offered but they were all to advanced for a newb like me.
[00:41] <gaatse> How can I put some mixer ( for sound) in skype? Nothing works in skype, when I do not use another proigram: Soundrecorder

[01:00] <Classic> GodfatherofEire, what protocol did u crack with it?
[01:00] <benc1> VCoolio: I didn't want to use it. I used Ctr+F3 to do something in the android emulator :)

[01:01] <jonaskoelker> -.-
[01:02] <mow> DasEi2 > cat /var/log/syslog |grep usb
[01:02] <DasEi2> mow: just give the url so we can have a look
[01:02] <Classic> GodfatherofEire, good luck learning
[01:03] <GodfatherofEire> Classic, I already know how to, but on my friends some of the commands are non-functional
[01:03] <Classic> GodfatherofEire, you mean on his install or on his network?
[01:04] <ChogyDan> GodfatherofEire: maybe the driver doesnt support the commands?
[01:04] <GodfatherofEire> Classic, on his install
[01:04] <Classic> GodfatherofEire, is his chip supported?
[01:05] <GodfatherofEire> ChogyDan, Classic,  its not his drivers, its that the commands arent recognized period. As in, I put it in the terminal, and it doesnt recognize the command period. And the manpages werent there either
[01:05] <|\|> why sometimes when I click with the right button in the icon of my usb drive in the desktop and select 'unmount' it says "the device is safe to remove" and sometimes it doesn't (but the icon disappears)?
[01:06] <mow> DasEi2 > http://pastebin.com/f57dd39ec
[01:06] <Taim> |\|: because you may not have written anything to cause it to be unsafe to remove.
[01:06] <Classic> GodfatherofEire, then reinstall it id say
[01:07] <cdavis> where does bind9 log to?
[01:07] <mocoloco> Anywhere to get an up-to-date iso of the livecd, to have less updates after installing on a machine with slow isp?
[01:07] <|\|> Taim: Do you agree that this behavior may let unexperienced users somewhat confused?
[01:07] <TheCheeze> Classici appreciate the help. cant believe i forgot doing that the first time... feel like such a nubcake
[01:07] <luis_> Oh my god i actualized the software but still SD reader is not working, and it was working fine around 3:00PM!!!
[01:07] <Classic> mocoloco, likely from ubuntu website
[01:07] <Taim> |\|: I might concede that.  Perhaps a bug report is in order?
[01:07] <Classic> TheCheeze, no problem, glad I could help
[01:08] <Classic> luis_, for an sd reader?
[01:08] <TheCheeze> Classic am upgrading to karmic (again) right now. will yell for you if i have any hiccups if that's ok?
[01:08] <mocoloco> Classic: new iso from the website still has outdated packages.
[01:08] <Classic> TheCheeze, ok
[01:08] <|\|> Taim: I don't know how to report bugs. I guess that this is too complicated.
[01:08] <Classic> mocoloco, for sure, but thats the most up to date id say
[01:08] <mocoloco> I'm looking for something that includes updates between release and now, or a way to roll them in myself maybe
[01:09] <TheCheeze> by the way, has anyone played with the new nvidia driver from their site? 194 i think it is...
[01:09] <Taim> |\|: We can certainly help you with that if you want.
[01:09] <bastid_raZor> !bugs | |\|
[01:09] <Classic> mocoloco, ah, playing with fire there... I tried to create "my own" ubuntu a little while back... didnt work thou
[01:09] <Server__> checking for C++ compiler default output file name... configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables
[01:10] <Server__> what is this?
[01:10] <Server__> x(
[01:10] <mocoloco> Classic: actually I've had success using the Ubuntu Customization Kit, but it never tells me how big the build will be, and if I run updates it ends up bigger than 700MB
[01:11] <ichdasich> mocoloco: dvd-r *hinthint*
[01:11] <mocoloco> even if I run apt-get clean to clear out the cached downloaded packages
[01:11] <Classic> mocoloco, why not dvd
[01:11] <Jordan_U> Server__: What are you trying to compile? Are you sure it's not in the repositories?
[01:11] <Zane2> is it passable to get geddit to be trasparent, like how i did my terminal
[01:11] <luis_> Oh my god i actualized the software but still SD reader is not working, and it was working fine around 3:00PM!!!
[01:11] <Server__> Jordan_U ./configure
[01:11] <VCoolio> Zane2: with murrine rgba, yes
[01:12] <mocoloco> ichdasich: thanks, but the target user only has a CD drive. plus if it's 740MB I'd really like to figure out how to make it fit
[01:12] <Zane2> VCoolio ? what dat?
[01:12] <Jordan_U> Server__: What are you trying to compile though?
[01:12] <Classic> mocoloco, how about usb?
[01:12] <mocoloco> hmm.  that could work.  didn't think of that route.  thanks
[01:12] <VCoolio> Zane2: hang on, I have a link; murrine is a gtk2 theme engine; the development version has rgba support, which means transparancy
[01:12] <Typh> anyone know a simple, preferably gui way of automounting hard drives? karmic
[01:13] <Classic> mocoloco, no problem, I installed from 2gb usb before

[01:13] <trisquel> Hello
[01:13] <Server__> bouncer
[01:13] <DasEi2> mow: lot's of lines saying usb not ready there, try to restart hal : sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart
[01:13] <trisquel> 9.04 hangs at "starting up..." on a Dell Inspiron 2600
[01:13] <trisquel> any ideas?
[01:13] <Zane2> linux is a few weeks new to me, what is gtk2
[01:13] <luis_> Oh my god i actualized the software but still SD reader is not working, and it was working fine around 3:00PM!!!
[01:14] <koshari> Zane2 gtk2 is a dev platform
[01:14] <mocoloco> Classic: cool.  I'm sure I can just use this same tool and then put it on a USB drive instead of in an iso, right?
[01:14] <Zane2> thx
[01:14] <Classic> mocoloco, you can actually create a startup usb from administration
[01:14] <Jordan_U> Server__: sbnc 1.2 is in the repositories, any reason why you need 1.1 ?
[01:14] <jrib> Zane2: it's a popular gui toolkit (buttons and scrollbars, etc.)
[01:14] <Server__> Jordan_U It is the same with 1.2
[01:14] <Zane2> cool
[01:15] <Classic> mocoloco, not sure what u ment
[01:15] <VCoolio> Zane2: http://janhouse.deviantart.com/art/Gnome-quot-Aero-look-quot-tutorial-142265951
[01:15] <Jordan_U> Server__: Do you know how to install applications with synaptic / apt-get ?
[01:15] <koshari> Typh for sata you will be pretty much screwed
[01:15] <VCoolio> Zane2: gedit works really nice with it
[01:15] <mocoloco> Classic, nevermind, I think I'm good. thanks for the suggestions
[01:15] <DasEi2> mow : driver shall be em28xx,  but hardware id of that device also seems messy
[01:15] <Classic> mocoloco, np
[01:15] <Zane2> thx
[01:16] <Typh> koshari: hrm. I don't understand how such a common usecase is such a headache.
[01:16] <aceraxon> Could anyone help me with the Grub 15 error?
[01:16] <Classic> anyone uses compiz in carmic with 4 workspaces?
[01:16] <Jordan_U> !grub2 | aceraxon
[01:16] <Server__> Jordan_U of course
[01:16] <aceraxon> !grub2
[01:16] <mow> DasEi2 > do you want me to modprobe -r em28xx or rmmod?
[01:16] <koshari> Typh maybe devicekit may give better esata support?
[01:16] <VCoolio> Zane2: it will look like this: http://tinyurl.com/yhnj7gp
[01:16] <qq99> ok, I tried following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows with 9.10 livecd, giving me a grub that went to command line
[01:16] <Jordan_U> Server__: Is there a reason you don't want to use synaptic to install sbnc?
[01:16] <mow> DasEi2 > restarting hal didn't work
[01:16] <Doorman352> is there a simple way to determine what packages Ive installed? I want to reload a system and just want to make sure I get evverything again.
[01:16] <qq99> then, I tried using 9.04, still have a grub that only has command line
[01:16] <qq99> can anyone help?
[01:17] <Jordan_U> !clone | Doorman352
[01:17] <DasEi2> mow: give it a try, though the initializing (if the driver is right ) in syslog shows flaws
[01:17] <koshari> Doorman352 i would remove lib**** packages and let the new apps automagically fill the dependencys
[01:18] <Jordan_U> koshari: That's basically what the command in the Ubottu factoid does
[01:18] <Server__> Jordan_U how I do it?
[01:18] <sebsebseb> Zane2: What the answer to your question or not still, from a little while ago?
[01:19] <TheCheeze> can anyone tell me how i can add applications to my desktop (not launchers) in GNOME similar to this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1267703&highlight=transparent
[01:19] <Jordan_U> !synaptic | Server__

[01:19] <_newbie_> do i need ubuntu server to run a media server or could my kubuntu surpass?
[01:20] <koshari> Doorman352 i made a custom metapackage that installs all my progs

[01:21] <Doorman352> koshari: Overkill, I WANT to do a fresh reload, but I "played" with several packages and now can't remeber what they all were, so I wanted a list..... I don't want to clone/backup this system.
[01:21] <finsyourfriend> Just in case anyone else has the no-sound issue in Firefox, this helped me fix it: http://www.paulbetts.org/projects/libflashsupport_1.0~2219-2_i386.deb
[01:21] <Jordan_U> _newbie_: Yes, kubuntu can be a media server. The different version of Ubuntu are just different sets if default packages ( applications ). You can have server and desktop applications installed at the same time.
[01:22] <mow> DasEi2 > was being used by mythtv
[01:22] <finsyourfriend> Download and install the package...viola!
[01:22] <sebsebseb> finsyourfriend: Uhmm only get Debs from trusted sources!
[01:22] <LordHawke13> How do I change my soundfont?
[01:22] <DasEi2> mow : also you get lot's of initialsation-erros on ic2 , (northbridge?) , too, so that can also be another failure, I found for drivers : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=941188
[01:22] <koshari> Doorman352 you could just check the history in synaptic
[01:23] <drink_sti> quick question... never used any linux at all and everyone keeps saying its the shit. i am running windows... if i install it can i have both operating systems on at once and just choose which one i want at load up?
[01:23] <DasEi2> mow : what happens if you remove mythtv and use just the tv-card, no other usb-devices and then tvtime ?
[01:23] <sebsebseb> finsyourfriend: Debs can be made into bad ones.
[01:23] <VCoolio> drink_sti: yes; that's dual boot
[01:23] <jonaskoelker> drink_sti: yep
[01:23] <drink_sti> is it easy to set up?
[01:23] <Typh> !wubi | drink_sti
[01:23] <jonaskoelker> drink_sti: I used to do that, and it worked as promised
[01:23] <DasEi2> mow: at this syslog I'd also chck memory and bios-settings, lot's of bad lines in there
[01:24] <Doorman352> koshari: That's more of what I was looking for..... downloaded and tried everything I could, now I want to start fresh and do it right.. :)
[01:24] <drink_sti> thatnk u.
[01:24] <jonaskoelker> drink_sti: you can't do it with your eyes closed and one hand behind your back, but you'll get it set up...
[01:24] <finsyourfriend> Update manager in Ubuntu was showing an update for libflashsupport as well.
[01:24] <VCoolio> drink_sti: quite; download ubuntu (preferable via torrent), burn to cd, answer 7 question, make some coffee and you're done
[01:24] <elfranne> can i write data to a samba share without actually mounting it ?
[01:24] <Typh> wubi is a godsend for hesitant windows users
[01:24] <sebsebseb> finsyourfriend: what it is installed
[01:24] <Typh> like me
[01:24] <mow> DasEi2 > let me look that over some more... I used that link to install the device
[01:25] <sebsebseb> finsyourfriend: yes it will
[01:25] <sebsebseb> finsyourfriend: once it is installed, yes it will
[01:25] <finsyourfriend> I'm sorry?
[01:25] <DasEi2> elfranne: nope
[01:25] <elfranne> thx DasEi2
[01:25] <jonaskoelker> can I ask y'all a question?
[01:25] <sebsebseb> finsyourfriend: however that does not mean it's from a trusted source
[01:25] <mobi> Hi
[01:25] <DasEi2> !ask | jonaskoelker
[01:25] <jonaskoelker> what does it take to run the fglrx drivers with an ATI mobility firegl v3200 gfx card?
[01:25] <jonaskoelker> DasEi2: I take the last sentence to be an optimistic "white" lie? ;-)
[01:26] <WesleyWex> Hi, I just upgraded 9.04 to 9.10 and I don't have users on my logon screen (I used the basic logon screen)
[01:26] <mow> DasEi2 > didn't happen till I installed the fw and driver... which I thought was already in the new kernel. am i wrong about that
[01:26] <finsyourfriend> Good to know, since I followed the Comprehensive Sound Guide to Ubuntu and screwed my machine up for a good half week.
[01:26] <sebsebseb> finsyourfriend: always install from the repo,  unless you  have a good reason not to, and then use launchpad  ppa's or compile stuff from source that game from trusted sources such as sourceforge
[01:26] <WesleyWex> Anyone know what could I do to fix this?
[01:26] <finsyourfriend> Will do.
[01:26] <finsyourfriend> :)
[01:27] <jonaskoelker> WesleyWex: reinstall 9.04 or switch to debian
[01:27] <drink_sti> will wubi download ubuntu for me or do i have to get a copy?
[01:27] <jonaskoelker> WesleyWex: (I'm not in my ubuntu-loving mood right now, so take my advice with a grain of salt)
[01:27] <finsyourfriend> That brings to mind a question:
[01:27] <jonaskoelker> (... or maybe a truckload)
[01:27] <finsyourfriend> How would one know if a Deb was bad?
[01:27] <sebsebseb> drink_sti: I suggset not installing with WUbi
[01:27] <Typh> drink_sti: your choice
[01:27] <sebsebseb> drink_sti: use real partitions isntead, since better in the long run
[01:27] <mobi> is there a simple way to install vnc server from ssh terminal ?
[01:27] <DasEi2> mow: I don't know this card, maybe yes, try removing it as it causes this behaviour and use a slim app in first to ensure the driver is set right before put a monster like mythtv on it
[01:27] <Typh> drink_sti: ignore sebsebseb if you're scared
[01:28] <jonaskoelker> finsyourfriend: you'd install it, see that it f*cks up your system, rebuild your sys from scratch and make a note not to install it again
[01:28] <sebsebseb> Typh: uhmm?
[01:28] <sebsebseb> !language |  jonaskoelker
[01:28] <jonaskoelker> sebsebseb: what, the "f*cks"?
[01:28] <drink_sti> is wubi a bad idea? or can i jsut burn a disk and set up a dual boot?
[01:28] <WesleyWex> so, nobody could help
[01:28] <DasEi2> jonaskoelker : I won't help you much further, but see :
[01:28] <DasEi2> !fglrx
[01:28] <sebsebseb> jonaskoelker: yep
[01:29] <jonaskoelker> sebsebseb: I'll try and keep it in mind then :)
[01:29] <finsyourfriend> My machine is virtual, and all seems well, so I'm happy...my machine was fairly FUBAR before I installed the Deb...
[01:29] <sebsebseb> finsyourfriend: Virtual machine of Ubuntu?
[01:29] <Typh> I ran a real partition at home and wubi at work for ages. There's no issue with wubi.
[01:29] <finsyourfriend> Yes, installed inside of Windows.
[01:29] <sebsebseb> finsyourfriend: ok well  malicious Debs can be made
[01:30] <kain_> hi everyone, does anyone know of a program for remote connections to either control my computer from another computer or to connect to someone elses computer. I'm looking for something exactly like the program "TeamViewer"
[01:30] <DasEi2> Typh: got a differnet mind on wubi
[01:30] <sebsebseb> finsyourfriend: ,but they aren't that likely to be made at this time, plus  the user would have to install them  selves, or  get their computer cracked in to or something and then have someone else do it
[01:30] <mow> DasEi2 > ok, thanks for the help:)
[01:31] <unko> does anyone know how to like reinstall the sound drivers? im not sure what happend but now i have no sound output/input & my system says it's using "dummy output"
[01:31] <sebsebseb> finsyourfriend: also inside Windows hmm,  I hope that's only for trying Ubuntu, and then I hope you will put on the hard disk for real :)
[01:31] <thief> let's say I corruped my partition playing with an disk editor, is there any tool like windows' scandisk that could fix it for me?
[01:31] <sebsebseb> thief: which partition?  file system?
[01:31] <DasEi2> testdik
[01:32] <thief> the partition that holds my /
[01:32] <sebsebseb> DasEi2: no testdisk is for recoving data
[01:32] <thief> ext3grep says every time I run it:
[01:32] <thief> WARNING: The indirect block number of inode 142948 (or a journal copy thereof) doesn't look like a block number (it is too large, block number 12 in it's block list is too large<PHONE_NUMBER>)). Treating this as if one of the indirect blocks were overwritten, although this is a more serious corruption.
[01:32] <unko> DasEi2, you have any idea on how to reinstall sound drivers?
[01:32] <sebsebseb> DasEi2: recovering
[01:32] <DasEi2> sebsebseb: and for restoring parti-tables
[01:32] <thief> actually a lot of these messages, but with different numbers
[01:33] <thief> ok, I'll get this testdisk
[01:33] <jordy240> hi
[01:33] <jordy240> i heard that for suspend mode to work in ubuntu, you need to have twice the swap space than ram. how can i shrink ubuntu(ext4)? i tried doing it from gparted live cd but gparted said that it cant shrink ubuntu because it cant read its superblock or something.
[01:33] <holly> hi, complete newb here.... do I take a number or something?
[01:33] <sebsebseb> holly: hi

[01:34] <sebsebseb> holly: number for what?
[01:34] <DasEi2> thief: also mind sebeb.. 's advice and run e2fsck before, if ext-fs, funny nick you have

[01:34] <holly> for service :P
[01:34] <donnybrasco> I can't start kdm since enabling restricted Nvidia drivers - can anyone help
[01:34] <jonaskoelker> holly: no, you just ask a question
[01:34] <thief> DasEi2, right, I'll do it.
[01:34] <fokuslee_> hi is there a linux equivalent of haoeTV or kankan? like a program to watch tv shows online?
[01:34] <donnybrasco> tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:34] <donnybrasco> didn't work
[01:34] <sebsebseb> jordy240:  yeah I helped you last time with something didn't I?
[01:34] <jonaskoelker> holly: and then close your eyes and pray that someone (1) knows the answer; (2) reads it; and (3) tells you the answer
[01:35] <sebsebseb> !support |  holly
[01:35] <DasEi2> donnybrasco: then try to dis-install the nvidia driver
[01:35] <donnybrasco> how?
[01:35] <ascheel> is there a way to upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 from the command line?
[01:35] <jordy240> sebsebseb, yeah but the problem still exists
[01:35] <sebsebseb> jordy240: remind me what the problem was
[01:35] <thief> I don't suppose I can umount the partition where the system is installed, can I? -- WARNING!!!  Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause
[01:35] <thief> SEVERE filesystem damage.
[01:36] <jordy240> sebsebseb, i heard that for suspend mode to work in ubuntu, you need to have twice the swap space than ram. how can i shrink ubuntu(ext4)? i tried doing it from gparted live cd but gparted said that it cant shrink ubuntu because it cant read its superblock or something.
[01:36] <sebsebseb> ascheel: sure  editing  sources.lst  the old way and then doing it or whatever.  However  if you upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 be warned,  you may bump into issues, many people did.
[01:36] <DasEi2> donnybrasco: dpkg -L | grep nvid,  find the paketname, remove it
[01:36] <sebsebseb> !upgrade |  ascheel
[01:36] <unko> could someone please help me out for a little bit? my sound isn't working it says y system has no sound hardware it's using dummy outout at the moment... my audio device is: 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller
[01:36] <holly> altight, thanks. I've got this printer that SHOULD work perfectly with linux (according to the internet), but it thinks it's working (goes "job completed" after a minute), but the hardware doesn't actually do anything. Tried installing it on both serial ports, but nada. What do I try next?
[01:36] <DasEi2> ascheel: call update-manager, also :
[01:37] <DasEi2> !upgrade
[01:37] <sebsebseb> holly: So what do you want help with if anything?
[01:37] <finsyourfriend> I want a dedicated Linux box: I'm sick of Windows; I work on Windows machines all day as a PC technician.
[01:37] <ascheel> sebsebseb, that details instructions for upgrading using gnome.  I'm upgrading from the CLI on a headless machine
[01:37] <holly> making the printer go would be wonderful, thanks
[01:37] <sebsebseb> holly: oh printers hmm
[01:37] <donnybrasco> dasei2: thanks, do you know how to find the packetname?
[01:37] <holly> I don't even understand what it's not
[01:37] <holly> *why, not what
[01:37] <ascheel> ah ha!  found it.  sudo do-release-upgrdae
[01:38] <sebsebseb> holly: ok  you put 9.10 on yes?
[01:38] <DasEi2> donnybrasco: dpkg -L | grep nvid                                       ,  find the paketname, remove it
[01:38] <ascheel> bah...  sudo do-release-upgrade
[01:38] <holly> no, I've got jaunty
[01:38] <zopiac> when playing swf files with Gnash (offline) the video lags behind the sound. is there a fix?
[01:38] <sebsebseb> holly: oh ok good in a way, because   someone  upgraded since  some  release quite a while ago,  all the way up untill 9.10,  and then the printer woudn't work, but in previous releases it did
[01:38] <DasEi2> donnybrasco: dpkg -l | grep nvid                                       ,  find the paketname, remove it*
[01:39] <gigasoft_> s
[01:39] <holly> so, tick one possibility off the infinite list :P
[01:39] <jordy240> i heard that for suspend mode to work in ubuntu, you need to have twice the swap space than ram. how can i shrink ubuntu(ext4)? i tried doing it from gparted live cd but gparted said that it cant shrink ubuntu because it cant read its superblock or something.
[01:39] <jrib> jordy240: you don't need twice, you just need equal
[01:39] <koshari> finsyourfriend whats stopping you?
[01:39] <jonaskoelker> Hi all.  When I run jockey, I get this: http://pastebin.com/f192d9c94 -- I have python-xkit installed (which contains /usr/share/pyshared/XKit/xutils.py) what gives?
[01:39] <donnybrasco> dasei2: I don't understand
[01:39] <jonaskoelker> how do I make jockey-gtk work?
[01:40] <DasEi2> typo above (l<>L)
[01:40] <jrib> jonaskoelker: have you done anything with python...
[01:40] <sebsebseb> holly: oh Ubuntu is pretty great if  all the hardware you want to use works, if not you  have to configure it which can be a bit annoying for new users,  however  I haven't used it myself, but  the help pages for setting up a printer that the bot is about to give you, are probably quite good.
[01:40] <jonaskoelker> jrib: yes, but what? ;-)

[01:40] <ascheel> I have a file server currently on 9.04 *desktop*.  Is it possible to upgrade to 9.10 *server* through the normal update process?
[01:40] <jrib> jonaskoelker: well then you probably know why you have that error :)
[01:40] <jonaskoelker> jrib: I have written some, installed some new versions, ...
[01:40] <sebsebseb> holly: If you get stuck with any of the technical  details when trying to set it up, just say
[01:41] <jrib> jonaskoelker: "installed some new versions"
[01:41] <jordy240> jrib, and why can't ubuntu make it equial on install? instead of requiring me to have to do it?
[01:41] <DasEi2> ascheel: first upgrade to desktop, then install server-kernel
[01:41] <ascheel> DasEi2: thank you.  :)
[01:41] <kain_> does anyone know of an equivalent for TeamViewer
[01:41] <jonaskoelker> jrib: well, no, because ubuntu does some magic hack so I can't mess anything up by installing new versions, but I can't find the documentation that tells me what to do when the "make it work" breaks
[01:41] <jrib> jordy240: it usually makes it at least equal to ram in my experience.  File a bug if it didn't
[01:41] <jrib> jonaskoelker: what are you talking about exactly?  "magic hack"?
[01:42] <finsyourfriend> Cash...I want to start from stratch, as in a whole new system. My wife and I recently had a baby...
[01:42] <jonaskoelker> jrib: debian_defaults, I think
[01:42] <gigasoft> a
[01:42] <gigasoft> a
[01:42] <jonaskoelker> jrib: but I'm just speculating
[01:42] <jrib> jonaskoelker: how did you "install new versions"?
[01:42] <holly> alright, thanks
[01:42] <jonaskoelker> jrib: apt-get install python2.6
[01:42] <sebsebseb> holly: np and good luck!
[01:42] <jonaskoelker> jrib: or other versions
[01:43] <jrib> jonaskoelker: did you do anything not involving apt or use repositories that are not official ubuntu ones?
[01:43] <jonaskoelker> jrib: no
[01:43] <jordy240> jrib, question: how can I move a partition from the left side of my ntfs parition to the right side?
[01:43] <jrib> jordy240: erm, doubt you can do that
[01:44] <jrib> jonaskoelker: python -c 'import sys; print sys.path'
[01:44] <jordy240> jrib, ?? and hoiw come ext4 can't be shunk in gparted because it can't read it's 'superblock' or whatever? is there a fix for this?
[01:44] <Typh> why do my mounted hard drives automatically take on ridiculous mount names?  Like "39f1ada0-6630-4eff-8fb8-06f061d6dcc4"? What is this number and what's the easiest way to override it?
[01:45] <jrib> !label | Typh
[01:45] <jonaskoelker> jrib: see pm
[01:45] <jrib> jonaskoelker: please use paste.ubuntu.com
[01:45] <koshari> Typh that woul dbe meounted by uuid, you can use deviceid or dev
[01:45] <jonaskoelker> jrib: pastebinit ok?
[01:45] <jrib> jonaskoelker: sure
[01:45] <jrib> Typh: if you set a device label, it should use the label
[01:45] <jonaskoelker> http://pastebin.com/f6f6a59d6
[01:46] <jrib> jonaskoelker: this is karmic?
[01:46] <Typh> and if I restart, will it retain the device label?
[01:46] <jonaskoelker> jrib: jaunty, but a few intrepid and karmic packages
[01:46] <jrib> jonaskoelker: /why/?
[01:46] <jrib> Typh: yes
[01:46] <jonaskoelker> jrib: because I want to play nexuiz, so I want to install fglrx, so I want to install a really old x server, so I want to [etc.]
[01:47] <jrib> jonaskoelker: mixing repositories isn't supported, it's likely to cause issues
[01:47] <jonaskoelker> jrib: and I also want the latest and greatest, but whole-system upgrades always fun me over with ubuntu
[01:47] <jonaskoelker> jrib: so is sticking to only one :->
[01:47] <jrib> jonaskoelker: but that's supported, so you can report bugs and get them fixed for the future
[01:47] <jonaskoelker> jrib: no, I can report bugs...
[01:48] <jonaskoelker> jrib: oh well, some do get fixed
[01:48] <jonaskoelker> jrib: also, I can't report "you're not fixing the bugs fast enough" as a bug
[01:48] <jonaskoelker> jrib: but I can run older software that doesn't have the bug
[01:48] <arghh2d2> somebody should change the ubuntu topic to read "dont go karmic unless you need certain hardware support"
[01:48] <finsyourfriend> Oh, here's a big reason about a dedicated box: I use Buddi software to do my budgeting on the VM, and am unsure how to transfer the budget file (location) to a new install. It took me a day to fix all the errors when installing Buddi.
[01:49] <Typh> Hmm, I can't seem to label one of my partitions. It's NTFS, if that matters
[01:49] <jonaskoelker> jrib: also, shouldn't problems with mixing only happen if the dependencies are listed wrong, and isn't that a bug you can file in any case?
[01:49] <jrib> jonaskoelker: but it makes it impossible, or at least a lot harder, to debug issues
[01:49] <Typh> actually the doc page mentions another program for naming ntfs partitions :)
[01:50] <zetheroo1> what does "Segmentation fault" mean?
[01:50] <jonaskoelker> zetheroo1: means the program has a bug
[01:50] <jonaskoelker> zetheroo1: it tried to access some memory it wasn't allowed to access
[01:50] <zetheroo1> jonaskoelker: is it fixable?
[01:50] <unko2> could someone please help me out for a little bit? my sound isn't working it says y system has no sound hardware it's using dummy outout at the moment... my audio device is: 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller
[01:51] <jonaskoelker> zetheroo1: yes; file a bug report and someone will (eventually)
[01:51] <jrib> jonaskoelker: anyway, the location of that library isn't in the default sys.path, so it must get added to sys.path at some point.  You'll have to read the source and see where that happens and why it fails
[01:51] <jonaskoelker> zetheroo1: the next question you want answered is probably "is there a workaround I can use now?", right?
[01:51] <sysRPL> hello
[01:51] <nvme> anyone know what ISO releases are compatible with grub2 ?
[01:51] <jonaskoelker> jrib: ...
[01:51] <sysRPL> could someone help me please? i am using vmware player with a small debian linux distro. i have xfce installed, but when i startx my mouse isn't working. i've tried google, but can't find a way to get my mouse working
[01:51] <jrib> jonaskoelker: ?
[01:52] <sysRPL> any help would be appreciated
[01:52] <sysRPL> ty
[01:52] <zetheroo1> jonaskoelker: no actually I was hoping someone here could help me fix the issue
[01:52] <mac9416> How can I turn off visualizations in MPlayer?
[01:52] <jonaskoelker> jrib: I apt-get install <some version of python>, then jockey breaks and I have to go rummage through the source.  Is that a bug?
[01:52] <zetheroo1> jonaskoelker: its a pretty common app too
[01:52] <seidos> how can one see what file permissions are assigned to a directory?
[01:52] <jonaskoelker> zetheroo1: which one is it?
[01:52] <zetheroo1> jonaskoelker: sound-juicer
[01:52] <jrib> jonaskoelker: you're using a mixed system.  Does the error occur if you bring your system up to date?
[01:52] <fcuk112> seidos: ls -lart
[01:53] <jonaskoelker> jrib: I'm not going to run that experiment
[01:53] <seidos> fcuk112: thank you
[01:53] <jrib> jonaskoelker: then yes, you have to rummage
[01:53] <seidos> does one need to use sudo anytime they use chmod?
[01:53] <jonaskoelker> zetheroo1: have you tried up- or downgrading sound-juicer to a different version?
[01:53] <zetheroo1> jonaskoelker: I did a complete removal and reinstall ...
[01:53] <Jamed> seidos: only if you chmod files, that dont belong to you
[01:53] <jonaskoelker> zetheroo1: that's what I'd do, but I guess that's frowned upon by ubuntu...
[01:54] <Jamed> seidos: more exact files on which you dont have write permission
[01:54] <jonaskoelker> jrib: how do I install the XKit package ("package" in python's parlance) to /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/XKit/[etc.]?
[01:54] <jonaskoelker> jrib: ... the proper ubuntu-sanctioned way?
[01:55] <zetheroo1> jonaskoelker: I am going to do a purge in the Terminal ...
[01:55] <solifugus> How can I make Ubuntu's spell checker use U.S. English instead of British?
[01:55] <jrib> jonaskoelker: sigh... the proper way is to not run a mixed system.  Can you pastebin /var/lib/dpkg/info/python-xkit*?
[01:55] <solifugus> Ubuntu's British English spell checking is severely annoying..
[01:55] <sysRPL> could someone help me please? i am using vmware player with a small debian linux distro. i have xfce installed, but when i startx my mouse isn't working. i've tried google, but can't find a way to get my mouse working
[01:55] <zetheroo1> jonaskoelker: purged and reinstalled ... still get Segmentation Fault
[01:56] <jonaskoelker> zetheroo1: tried installing a different version?
[01:56] <jordy240> hi
[01:56] <solifugus> Are you all British or something?
[01:56] <jordy240> I know have more swap space than ram. yet when I resume after suspend mode, my monitor remains black! please please someone help! thanks
[01:56] <datz> Hi, I am using 9.10. On the log on screen I noticed a choice of booting to xwindows, as well as gnome. Is there a way to install KDE, so that it will also be an option, without removing gnome?
[01:56] <sebsebseb> datz: yes
[01:56] <RussellAlan> I'm having trouble activating my eth0 connection
[01:56] <solifugus> Nobody knows how to make ubuntu's spell checker use U.S. English?
[01:56] <zetheroo1> jonaskoelker: where do i get a different version from?
[01:56] <RussellAlan> i did it the other day and it was so simple
[01:57] <RussellAlan> im using kde
[01:57] <sebsebseb> datz: sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
[01:57] <keith_> I am having issues getting my ubuntu computer onto the internet. the computer sees the USB to ethernet adapter, I run ifconfig eth0 up and dhclient eth0 as root, and they run successfully. I can not ping google.com or connect to the internet at all. This connection has been tested on other devices and works.
[01:57] <datz> sebsebseb: cool, any tutorials
[01:57] <sebsebseb> datz: no need just run that command
[01:57] <jonaskoelker> jrib: see pastebin links in pm
[01:57] <datz> sebsebseb: ok, thanks. I will try it
[01:57] <VCoolio> solifugus: change language settings I guess
[01:57] <sysRPL> could someone help me please? i am using vmware player with a small debian linux distro. i have xfce installed, but when i startx my mouse isn't working. i've tried google, but can't find a way to get my mouse working
[01:57] <jonaskoelker> zetheroo1: which release are you running? jaunty? karmic?
[01:57] <jrib> jonaskoelker: the reason I ask you not to pm is so others can also help you
[01:57] <sebsebseb> datz: apt-get and aptitude are similar, but  aptitude is meant to be better at dealing with dependencies so for big stuff it make sense
[01:57] <jonaskoelker> jrib: fair enough
[01:57] <zetheroo1> jonaskoelker: Karmic
[01:57] <sebsebseb> datz: most of the time I would do apt-get

[01:58] <sysRPL> sebsebseb: could you maybe help me?
[01:58] <jrib> jonaskoelker: I also need to know the names of these files :)
[01:58] <queso> I don't recall changing anything, but suddenly Gnome Do (which I use in Docky theme to manage my windows) has been acting strange and nearly unusable. Ordinarily clicking on an icon for a minimized window would open it up, but now the icon bounces and does nothing. Any idea why?
[01:58] <jonaskoelker> /var/lib/dpkg/info/python-xkit.list /var/lib/dpkg/info/python-xkit.md5sums /var/lib/dpkg/info/python-xkit.postinst /var/lib/dpkg/info/python-xkit.preinst /var/lib/dpkg/info/python-xkit.prerm

[01:59] <sebsebseb> sysRPL: not exactly, but well  VMware player hmm,  I  recommend Virtualbox since it's better than VMware player,  it is also useually what is recommended by people in here
[01:59] <queso> (Incidentally, this began happening on two difference machines, both using Gnome Do in the same way, both using Jaunty.)
[01:59] <sebsebseb> sysRPL: when it comes to virtualization
[01:59] <jrib> jonaskoelker: try reinstalling the package or just rerun the .postinst
[01:59] <sebsebseb> sysRPL: it can also   use VMDK files  without needing a vmx file
[02:00] <jonaskoelker> zetheroo1: as root, edit /etc/apt/sources.list.  Copy everything, then paste a copy of that at the bottom of the file.  replace all instances of "karmic" with "jaunty" in what you just pasted.  Then apt-get update
[02:00] <jonaskoelker> zetheroo1: then ... [hold on]
[02:00] <sebsebseb> sysRPL: If you want USB support get it from the website, if you don't  then you can get the open source version from the Ubuntu repo
[02:00] <jonaskoelker> jrib: will try
[02:00] <zetheroo1> jonaskoelker: uhm ... I dunno about that
[02:00] <Typh> One more question: why do I get asked to authenticate when I try to mount a HD? How can I turn this off
[02:00] <zetheroo1> :)
[02:00] <sebsebseb> sysRPL: there's #vmware for VMware product help and #vbox for Virtualbox  by the way
[02:00] <unko> can someone please help me with my sound issue?
[02:01] <zetheroo1> jonaskoelker: I don't know if i want to revert my sources list to jaunty
[02:01] <jordy240> please? :(
[02:01] <jonaskoelker> jrib: INFO: using unknown version '/usr/bin/python3.0' (debian_defaults not up-to-date?)
[02:01] <jordy240> i would really like suspend mode to work
[02:01] <jonaskoelker> jrib: happens during install --reinstall.  I think that's interesting :)
[02:01] <jrib> jonaskoelker: I can guess why :)
[02:01] <coastal> when you first install ubuntu does it assign the root pwd....because i don't have it
[02:02] <jonaskoelker> jrib: so, how do I check whether "debian_defaults not up-to-date?", and what do I do about it?
[02:02] <sebsebseb> Typh: it seems to be a feature of 9.10
[02:02] <nullrend> coastal: you're supposed to use sudo
[02:02] <jonaskoelker> zetheroo1: fair enough...
[02:02] <jrib> jonaskoelker: don't run a mixed system and bring your system up to date...
[02:02] <sebsebseb> Typh: not sure about turning off,  I think there may be something about that feature in  the release notes

[02:03] <mac9416> Is it possible to only install security updates, and save the hundreds of megabytes getting the latest gedit when the last one worked fine?
[02:03] <sebsebseb> mac9416: the default repos are only security updates!
[02:03] <Evanuz> hi i want to change the motd  but  every time i make a ssh connection it gets reset to the default  what can i do??
[02:03] <Typh> Readin'. I'd be interesting to see some logic behind it, as I fail to see why having to authenticate to access internal drives makes any sense.
[02:03] <mac9416> sebsebseb, let's just say I've modified them a bit. ;-) So, just disable all non-security repos?
[02:04] <coastal> nullrenf, sudo: root: command not found
[02:04] <sebsebseb> mac9416: Yeah I guess so  disable all, but the default, but how have you edited them?
[02:04] <Jamed> coastal: root is not a command, what do you intend to do?
[02:04] <coastal> hehe
[02:04] <zetheroo1> jonaskoelker: ok I got RipOff working :) ... thanks for trying though
[02:04] <mac9416> sebsebseb, just enabled a lot of third-party repos and so on.
[02:04] <coastal> i don't have my password
[02:05] <jonaskoelker> zetheroo1: yw
[02:05] <coastal> root
[02:05] <Jamed> coastal: you cant login as root, because the account is disabled by default
[02:05] <sebsebseb> mac9416: third party repos such as?  be careful  with that, they can contain  malicious software or well slightly malicious software, bad debs yeah
[02:05] <Typh> You don't have your own password?
[02:06] <Jamed> coastal: if you want a root login you have to do a  sudo passwd root  and enter a password
[02:06] <mac9416> sebsebseb, don't worry, things like VirtualBox and Medibuntu. And a few PPAs. Nothing unusual.
[02:06] <grodius> hello friends, im trying to install mesa3d for karmic and i need some help...
[02:06] <sebsebseb> mac9416: ok
[02:06] <seidos> i'm concerned about security
[02:07] <joshua6> while ubuntu is booting it shows the splash screen then goes to a blinking underscorce and it never boots.
[02:07] <jonaskoelker> zetheroo1: and congrats on getting something working, btw! :)
[02:07] <grodius> has anyone here gotten mesa3d running on ubuntu?
[02:08] <Typh> joshua6: I'm just going from memory on the same problem, but does it work when you choose safe vga mode?
[02:08] <emanux> how to disable empathy chat logs?
[02:08] <zetheroo1> jonaskoelker: thanks .. sound-juicer has always worked flawlessly in the past .. but it had previously corrupted dpkg and seemed to have never fully recovered ...
[02:09] <Hb_Kai> would it be more reliable installing ubunto netbook remix on a laptop rather than the usual OS they mail you a disc for?
[02:09] <joshua6> Typh: how would I go about choosing that? not even the recovery mode boots
[02:09] <Typh> I thought it was an option on boot. Like I said, going from memory so I might just confuse you more.
[02:10] <Dougdoug4> Ok so I burned the Ubuntu iso
[02:10] <seidos> i couldn't scp a file to a folder on a remote system, so i tried chmod 777 to give full access to the folder, but that wasn't necessary, since the folder was in the home directory on the remote system, so i deleted the folder and recreated it and it worked.  is this normal behavior?
[02:10] <Dougdoug4> I put it on a dvd
[02:10] <Dougdoug4> i put it in my blu-ray player
[02:10] <Dougdoug4> and it didnt play
[02:10] <FloodBot3> Dougdoug4: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[02:22] <xcat> i want to block all, and i do mean all, but port tcp on port 8118, can i do that?
[02:22] <jonaskoelker> Ashfire908: obviously you haven't seen the new ten-sided DVDs ;-)
[02:22] <Taim> enovativ: system -> adminstration -> Software Sources
[02:23] <jonaskoelker> Ashfire908: they call it a dv d10
[02:23] <jonaskoelker> ;)
[02:23] <xjustyb11> xcat:  Check out iptables
[02:23] <rance94> ahh can i go to add/remove or symnatic package manger and download the virtualbox jrib
[02:23] <enovativ> Taim: i went to system , adminstration, software sources
[02:23] <Ashfire908> xcat, I can give you the rules you need to make.
[02:23] <enovativ> and i don't see it
[02:23] <jrib> rance94: yes
[02:23] <xjustyb11> xcat, You'll want to set the default policy to DENY.
[02:23] <xcat> Ashfire908 ohh thanks

[02:24] <Jetsetlemming1> I just got a new hard drive in an external enclosure. It came unpartitioned and formatted, so I'm trying to set it up now using the Disk Utility. But when I try to create the file system (as NTFS), I get this error message: "Error creating file system: helper exited with exit code 1: cannot spawn 'mkntfs -f -L "640 Storage" /dev/sdd': Failed to execute child process "mkntfs" (No such file or directory)"
[02:24] <Taim> enovativ: You should have "Community-maintained Open Source software (universe)" checked?
[02:24] <Ashfire908> xcat, yeah, part of what xjustyb11 said. Do you want this for incomming, outgoing, or both?
[02:24] <jonaskoelker> Jetsetlemming1: it seems like you're missing some ntfs tools
[02:24] <rance94> jrib there are like 12 different virtual boxes which one should i get???
[02:24] <jonaskoelker> Jetsetlemming1: lemme' see if I can find out... [hold on]
[02:24] <enovativ> Taim: thank you sir, it was right in front of my face.....thank you for making me pay attention to details
[02:24] <Ashfire908> xcat, (i'm assuming this comupter is not forwarding packets.)
[02:24] <xcat> Ashfire908 both
[02:25] <jrib> rance94: virtualbox-ose
[02:25] <rance94> k
[02:25] <Taim> enovativ: Bah.  It's all good.  Glad to help.
[02:25] <jonaskoelker> Jetsetlemming1: you probably want to install the ntfsprogs package
[02:25] <Jetsetlemming1> How do I install it? Just sudo apt-get ntfsprogs ?
[02:25] <enovativ> Taim: how long have you used ubuntu linux ?
[02:26] <Taim> enovativ:.......a long time....
[02:26] <rance94> jrib thx for the help cause i program in a few languages like c++ and i really have been wanting to use dev or vc++ u are great
[02:26] <Taim> enovativ: Don't make me do math :)
[02:26] <xcat> Ashfire908: my intention is to run a proxy as one user and block the main user from accessing anything but localhost proxy port.
[02:26] <enovativ> Taim: lol
[02:26] <enovativ> Taim: don't worry....lol
[02:26] <unko> hey guys, can someone help me out? i need to reinstall my alsa drivers i think. i have no sound.. i have: 82801G audio
[02:27] <gdiz> hello, I was wondering if any of you have used the deskbar app.  I sudo installed...but I'm not quite sure what to do now.
[02:27] <g1er> is there a way to keep the term window on top? 9.04
[02:27] <Ashfire908> xcat, wait, to be clear, you want only tcp 8118 allowed either in or out?
[02:27] <jonaskoelker> g1er: yeah, open the window menu for the term window, select "always on top"
[02:27] <jonaskoelker> g1er: (... if I understand your question)
[02:27] <xcat> Ashfire908: right
[02:27] <plustax> what is the deskbar app?
[02:28] <Ashfire908> xcat, is this proxy actually a proxy? If so it will need to access web servers on tcp port 80.
[02:28] <xcat> Ashfire908: actually you can even specify that for only localhost too.
[02:28] <g1er> :/ i don't have a window menu.. just file, edit, view, term, help
[02:28] <Enissay_> Hi guys, i cannot see my laptop in my local network from my PC both under Ubuntu 9.10... any idea please?
[02:28] <enovativ> Taim: be right back...going to continue to try to install this parental control software
[02:28] <jonaskoelker> g1er: hit alt-space
[02:28] <xcat> Ashfire908: actually hmm it isn't port 8118: it is port 8080 i think. and yea- it is a http web proxy.
[02:29] <jonaskoelker> g1er: or click the top-left icon in the window border
[02:29] <Ashfire908> xcat, is it ok if i pm you?
[02:29] <g1er> duh lol. thanks alot :)
[02:29] <xcat> Ashfire908 yea sure

[02:32] <Guest16886> Hey guys sorry to bother got a problem: WoW keeps freezing the comp whilst i'm playing for like 2-3-4 seconds then resumes play and it's kind of getting frustratung
[02:32] <Guest16886> Frustrating*.
[02:32] <mrXX> this is the second time my minimize, close, and restore button have disappeared
[02:33] <mrXX> what is the command to get it back?
[02:33] <jonaskoelker> mrXX: try metacity --replace &
[02:33] <Jetsetlemming1> I'm looking up the info on ntsfprogs and can't figure out how to install it. The downloads listed on the linux-ntfs.org website are all to files named "kernal-module-ntsf-*somenumbers*-EL" with some variations. I dunno what I'm supposed to do with these.
[02:33] <jonaskoelker> mrXX: do you still have the normal window title border?
[02:33] <mrXX> metthanks jonaskoelker
[02:33] <mrXX> ya now it has come back
[02:33] <mrXX> why did it disappera?
[02:34] <jonaskoelker> mrXX: yw :)
[02:34] <jonaskoelker> mrXX: not sure
[02:34] <jonaskoelker> mrXX: maybe your window manager crashed
[02:34] <jonaskoelker> mrXX: were you running compiz?  metacity?
[02:34] <mrXX> i run compiz

[02:34] <rance94> i need some help with virtual box it says i have to boot from a cd or floppy wtf do i have to get a cd and boot it from that????
[02:34] <jonaskoelker> RussellAlan: then I don't know---but there's a lot of context I didn't follow either
[02:35] <TuxOtaku> anyone here use open-iscsi?
[02:35] <Jamed> RussellAlan: theres a typo
[02:35] <Jamed> RussellAlan: you wrote amaba
[02:35] <jonaskoelker> rance94: you can probably give virtualbox a .iso-file and tell it to pretend it's a cd inserted in the (virtual) drive
[02:35] <Jamed> *samaba
[02:35] <jonaskoelker> Jamed: well spotted :)
[02:36] <chetnick> is there any application that i could adjust and configure my webcam (logitech quickcam) in ubuntu?
[02:36] <rance94> jonaskoelker how would i do that?? im srry if im sounding obnoxius lol
[02:36] <joshua6> jonaskoelker: well its doing so fsck checks, but so far so good. what does that command do?
[02:36] <jonaskoelker> rance94: you're not :)
[02:36] <rance94> thx
[02:36] <jonaskoelker> rance94: I can't recall off the top of my head, but hang on two secs
[02:36] <rance94> jonaskoelker k
[02:36] <Nayballz> Hey guys sorry to bother got a problem: WoW keeps freezing the comp whilst I'm playing for like 2-4 seconds then it resumes play it's kind of geting in the way, if anyone could link me forums that would point me into the right direction or know of what needs to be done to resolve this issue - Any help is much appreciated.
[02:37] <jonaskoelker> joshua6: it does "instead of running the whole boot sequence, just boot into a bare shell"
[02:37] <RussellAlan> Jamed: even with correct spelling, there is no smb.conf just a smb.conf.orig
[02:37] <TuxOtaku> hey, so I've got two ubuntu machines, both running open-iscsi. and I can get the initiator to connect to the target, but there's no new device node created under /dev
[02:37] <jonaskoelker> joshua6: so your system won't boot up into a user-friendly state, but at least it'll boot, so we have learned something
[02:37] <Jamed> RussellAlan: maybe you already moved it?
[02:37] <RussellAlan> yeah i suppose.
[02:37] <RussellAlan> whats search cmd?
[02:38] <jonaskoelker> rance94: so, you run virtualbox, select your virtual machine image, click on the CD/DVD-rom thing, select "ISO image file"
[02:38] <Jamed> RussellAlan: you want to search files by name?
[02:38] <joshua6> jonaskoelker: well I hate to disappoint but it just went blank. no boot
[02:38] <rance94> k
[02:38] <mizerydearia> I installed tightvnc server on a remote computer.  I am logged in via ssh.  I forgot the tightvnc password.  How can I remotely reset the password for vnc connections?  Is it possible?
[02:38] <RussellAlan> well, do i need the smb.conf? i need to do sudo touch .../smb.conf next and sudo pico ..../smb.conf
[02:38] <jonaskoelker> joshua6: that's interesting
[02:39] <jonaskoelker> joshua6: try booting a different kernel version
[02:39] <joshua6> jonaskoelker: I'm glad one of us finds it interesting. and I have no others to choose from
[02:39] <greezmunkey> RussellAlan, you can search, but you can always look at /home/(your username)/.bash_history to see what command you issued!
[02:39] <d5dx> did it say no grub found?
[02:39] <Jeruvy> mizerydearia: if you can log in locally, then you can change it.
[02:39] <joshua6> just the current one and a rescue mode
[02:39] <jonaskoelker> joshua6: ;)
[02:39] <RussellAlan> gedit /home/koh/.bash
[02:39] <jonaskoelker> joshua6: then... uhh... install a dif... uh... hmm...
[02:39] <RussellAlan> woops not bash =D
[02:39] <mizerydearia> Jeruvy, I do not have local access. =/
[02:39] <jonaskoelker> joshua6: do you have a live cd?
[02:40] <justfil> hi there, the question I'm about to ask is not Ubuntu related but I guess some of you may know its answer. Is there a way to normalize a CRT monitor's settings so the edges of the screen wont be distorted in any way. Just like a LCD monitor, which picture fits perfectly into the monitor frame?
[02:40] <joshua6> jonaskoelker: well non of my ubuntu live cds dating back to 8.10 fully boot. the only thing I have is a puppy linux live cd
[02:40] <rance94> jonaskoelker what do i have to put on the iso ??
[02:40] <jonaskoelker> rance94: the cd you wanted to boot from
[02:41] <xjustyb11> justfil, look for a pin cushion option
[02:41] <frankschill> hey quick question.....how do i had more windows onto my droid...i only have three now..i heard u can download and application for up to 5?
[02:41] <RussellAlan> this is lame
[02:41] <jonaskoelker> is there a way to do a command-line dist-ugrade?
[02:41] <RussellAlan> whats command to remove app?
[02:41] <frankschill> anyone know how to open up more droid windows?
[02:42] <jonaskoelker> RussellAlan: apt-get remove <app>
[02:42] <RussellAlan> thought so.
[02:42] <RussellAlan> k, im going to start this process over.
[02:42] <joshua6> jonaskoelker: and I can get into a shell using my 9.10 alternet cd rescue boot option
[02:42] <jonaskoelker> joshua6: that'll do
[02:42] <i_is_broke> trying to set up a server with both the 9.04 and the 9.10 server and when formating the drive the computer locks up..keyboard lights flashing.
[02:43] <jonaskoelker> joshua6: then from there, chroot onto your real installation and install some version of linux-image-<something>
[02:43] <mizerydearia> How do I restart tightvnc/vnc server/daemon from shell? I don't see any /etc/init.d/* entries.
[02:43] <rance94> jonaskoelker lol im srry but i cant get it to work im about to look on youtube because i cant figure it out
[02:43] <chetnick> best torrent client for ubuntu?
[02:43] <jonaskoelker> rance94: well, exactly what are you trying to do?
[02:43] <fcuk112> chetnick: deluge
[02:43] <Jamed> !best | chetnick
[02:43] <justfil> xjustb11, what exactly is this 'pin cushion option' and how can I find it?
[02:43] <jonaskoelker> chetnick: according to whose taste?
[02:43] <chetnick> jonaskoelker: majority?
[02:43] <jonaskoelker> emacs
[02:43] <jonaskoelker> ;-)
[02:43] <joshua6> jonaskoelker: and my /proc folder is empty. is that a problem?
[02:44] <jonaskoelker> joshua6: that doesn't sound right...
[02:44] <rance94> jonaskoelker im trying to run windows 7 lol in virtualbox ose
[02:44] <RussellAlan> http://paste.ubuntu.com/322095/ jonaskoelker
[02:44] <jonaskoelker> rance94: and you have a windows 7 cd?
[02:44] <joshua6> jonaskoelker: yeah. but good news it just booted up into my normal ubuntu for some weird reason. what is suppose to be in the /proc
[02:44] <rance94> no like physically cd
[02:44] <rance94> like a real cd rom
[02:45] <jonaskoelker> joshua6: a lot of virtual files which reflect bits and pieces of the kernel state
[02:45] <archet45> would anyone have a tip for a noob that can't get mp3's to play via amarok on karmic koala?
[02:45] <fritzophrenic> I downloaded a full desktop CD, hoping to install Ubuntu on one machine, and I'd also like to upgrade from Jaunty to Karmic on another. I was hoping to be able to do the upgrade without doing another 6-hour eat-all-my-bandwidth download, but the upgrade instructions mention the "alternate" CD. Is my cause hopeless?
[02:45] <wolf23> help please
[02:45] <rance94> jonaskoelker like a real cd rom??
[02:45] <chetnick> fcuk112: thanks, i was looking for something like that.
[02:46] <Jamed> archet45: is your sound working?
[02:46] <jonaskoelker> rance94: if you're asking me, the answer is either I don't know or I don't understand what you're asking me about
[02:46] <archet45> Jamed,  nvm, i uninstalled "ubuntu restricted extras" and installed "kbuntu restricted extras" and it now works
[02:46] <joshua6> jonaskoelker: well is there a way to fi that now that I booted normally? and hopefully prevent this problem
[02:46] <jonaskoelker> rance94: you have a piece of plastic with windows 7 on it?
[02:47] <rance94> jonaskoelker no i do not
[02:47] <jonaskoelker> joshua6: probably---something like 'mount -t proc /proc' or something, I'm not sure
[02:47] <wolf23> can anyone help please, is there a way to make my keyboard buttons typing with sound?
[02:47] <jonaskoelker> rance94: fair enough; what do you have then?
[02:47] <rj1> im looking for something that will work like the Vista Volume control. (allow me to set the volume for individual applications)
[02:47] <fritzophrenic> can I use a normal "Live CD" to upgrade from Jaunty to Karmic somehow? I cannot find instructions beyond "put in the alternate CD and click the upgrade button" which doesn't work (no such option)
[02:48] <jonaskoelker> fritzophrenic: you can upgrade over the net
[02:48] <syazdani> hi room: I am debugging my suspend/resume issue (bug 417599), and I think the problem is with the video quirks in acpi. I'm trying to edit my hal files so the quirks are disabled, but I don't speak hal, can someone help me?
[02:48] <joshua6> jonaskoelker: there is stuff in there now, without doing the command. so is the image thingy I'm on stable? I think its 14-31
[02:48] <jonaskoelker> fritzophrenic: will that work for you?
[02:48] <rance94> jonaskoelker i dont have anything i only have virtual box ose i didnt know u had to have the cd srry
[02:48] <fritzophrenic> I suppose it will have to, if that's the only option. But the download takes 6 hours and I don't want to do that again seeing as how I already have a perfectly good install CD :-(
[02:48] <jonaskoelker> rance94: well, we (ubuntu) can't really distribute microsoft's software...
[02:48] <jonaskoelker> rance94: so go purchase a cd on the pirate bay
[02:49] <jonaskoelker> oops, I mean...
[02:49] <gabriel> join
[02:49] <Googolbyte> How do I mount a USB drive that shows up in computer but doesnt autoopen?
[02:49] <rance94> jonaskoelker lol
[02:49] <rj1> double click on it Googolbyte
[02:49] <rance94> jonaskoelker ill brb
[02:49] <wolf23> Helpers, any idea how to activate sounds on keyboard buttons when typing? thanx
[02:49] <gabriel> enjoy
[02:50] <Googolbyte> rj1, I have about 3000 times but does nothing :(
[02:50] <rj1> does it ive you an error googolbyte?
[02:50] <rj1> are you sure its not already mounted?
[02:50] <jonaskoelker> fritzophrenic: ah, you have the karmic cd?
[02:50] <Googolbyte> rj1, No, nothing?
[02:50] <fritzophrenic> yes
[02:50] <jonaskoelker> fritzophrenic: then there is some way to say "look for packages on the CD rather than the net", but I can't recall them off the top o' my head
[02:50] <rj1> jonaskoelker see if theres a distributor near you
[02:51] <rj1> ooh
[02:51] <rj1> wait
[02:51] <jonaskoelker> rj1: huh?
[02:51] <rj1> I know
[02:51] <rj1> fritzophrenic:
[02:51] <rj1> fritzophrenic: put in the cd
[02:51] <rj1> and add it as a package source
[02:51] <rj1> when you put in the cd
[02:51] <rj1> it should allow you to add it
[02:52] <cwraig> hi all how do i get the scroll wheel to rotate my desktop again in 9.10

[02:54] <enovativ> and i got the following :   http://pastebin.com/m5f49247d
[02:54] <jonaskoelker> rance94: better stick to free software then, eh? ;-)
[02:54] <enovativ> can someone please help
[02:54] <rj1> im looking for something that will work like the Vista Volume control. (allow me to set the volume for individual applications)
[02:54] <rance94> yeah soo could i use vbox to run a diff form of linux?????
[02:54] <jonaskoelker> rance94: yep
[02:54] <rance94> jonaskoelker will i need a iso to do it or what
[02:55] <mizerydearia> How do I configure vnc password for gdm/tightvnc?
[02:55] <fcuk112> rance94: you can download different versions of linux from www.linuxtracker.org
[02:55] <jonaskoelker> rance94: some kind of installation media; iso is probably easiest
[02:55] <jonaskoelker> rance94: or you can use floppies :->
[02:55] <cwraig> rj1, in 9.10 it does it by deault, if you right click on the sound volume thing and hit preferences and the the applications tab
[02:55] <drink_sti> when i use wubi-installer i get this error - OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'C:\\ubuntu\\install\\ubuntu-9.10-desktop-amd64.iso'
[02:55] <rj1> not on 9.10 ;)
[02:55] <rj1> Im on 8.10
[02:55] <drink_sti> what does it mean?
[02:55] <rance94> linuxtracker.org so i have to download and burn it to an iso
[02:55] <rj1> Ill just upgrade instead thanks
[02:56] <rj1> drinksti dont use wubi
[02:56] <fcuk112> rance94: no you download the iso files.
[02:56] <rj1> or run wubi as administrator
[02:56] <rance94> ahh
[02:56] <rance94> ok
[02:58] <rance94> fcuk112 do u know assembly language
[02:58] <cwraig> rj1, if you install the pulse audio manager you may get it, i cannot remember if 8.10 had pulse audio ornet
[02:59] <rj1> ...9.10 doesnt use pulse audio
[02:59] <rj1> it uses alsa-mixer
[02:59] <rance94> can i program with assembly in notepad anybody????
[02:59] <seidos> i can't enter directory lost+found, is this normal behavior?
[02:59] <Jamed> seidos: yes
[02:59] <archet45> is there some sort of package that will enable the extra shortcut keys on my keyboard work with ubuntu and other linux apps?
[02:59] <enovativ> i am trying to install webcontentcontrol
[02:59] <enovativ> and i got the following :   http://pastebin.com/m5f49247d
[02:59] <seidos> what's the folder lost+found for?
[02:59] <enovativ> can someone please help
[02:59] <justfil> I forgot the password of some app I've entered a while. How can I reset it?
[02:59] <rj1> archet45 they do work just press the relevant keys
[03:00] <UdontKnow> rance94: if you're asking that, you need an assembly book to get started
[03:00] <justfil> without resetting the keyring globally, just for this app
[03:00] <Jamed> seidos: i thinks its for ext3's journaling
[03:00] <seidos> Jamed: thank you
[03:00] <Jamed> seidos: np :)
[03:00] <rance94> yeah lol i want to start asm but not sure where or how
[03:01] <rj1> enovativ check your dependencies
[03:01] <rj1> rance94...dont do asm
[03:01] <rj1> just dont
[03:01] <git__> hi
[03:01] <enovativ> rj1: where do i check my dependencies
[03:01] <cwraig> rj1, this may help you http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/04/10/adjust-volume-of-individual-applications-with-pulseaudio/
[03:01] <losha> seidos: actually, it's for files which get orphaned due to corruptions in the filesystem. When fsck fixes the filesystem, files which don't seem to belong anywhere get put in lost+found as a last resort...
[03:02] <rj1> ya but....pulse audio is supposed to be much worse than alsa enovativ check the readme
[03:02] <rance94> rj1 k well im using python mostly now and im stuck i want to make something like a bot but i am lost
[03:02] <enovativ> rj1: thanks
[03:02] <cwraig> rj1, im on 9.10 and the pulse audio packages were installed by default
[03:02] <Doorman352> rance94: You need a compiler to write in assembly
[03:02] <rance94> doorman352 where could i get one
[03:02] <rj1> rance94...no do NOT go to assembly. Go to C see if you like that
[03:02] <xjustyb11> seidos, lost+found is where Linux places information that was lost due to some file system error.  Think of it as CHK files from Window's CHKDSK utility.
[03:02] <archet45> rj1, i can't get the media keys to work with any media application
[03:02] <SodaPhish> Doorman352, actually, no, you need a compiler to make your assembler run
[03:02] <fritzophrenic> ugh, I tried unchecking every option regarding the internet in the upgrade manager, and disconnecting from the internet, with the CD ROM listed as a source and checked, and the CD in the drive, but it STILL tries accessing the internet for the upgrade
[03:03] <archet45> rj1, specifically amarok and vlc
[03:03] <rj1> rance94 assembly is WAYYY more hardcore
[03:03] <Jamed> losha: oh... thanks for the info
[03:03] <SodaPhish> rance94, there are several in Linux -- look at as
[03:03] <SodaPhish> it should be available if you do `apt-get install as`
[03:03] <Doorman352> SodaPhish: Correct.
[03:03] <rance94> ahhh there arent any compilers for linux o and i know c++
[03:03] <Hamsterdam> I'm new to linux and having a really basic problem - trying to run 9.10 and it only runs for about one minute and then freezes completely. thought it might be a hardware problem (it happens when I run ubuntu from a live disc) but windows runs fine
[03:03] <rj1> yes there are
[03:03] <rj1> gcc
[03:03] <rj1> or g++
[03:03] <Doorman352> rance94: what processor you going to write for?
[03:03] <SodaPhish> err, not in as, gcc
[03:03] <xcat> does naybody know of a public secure dns server i can connect to? does opendns offer secure dns?
[03:03] <rj1> hamsterdam what exactly happens
[03:03] <fritzophrenic> the CD drive spins a lot like it's trying to do something but then it stops spinning and a download progress bar shows up with a transfer rate and download time
[03:03] <cyberhacker> un asesor para java en cuestion de multimedia
[03:04] <rance94> processor?? lol i have a dell laptop running ubuntu
[03:04] <rj1> archet45: try editing the hotkeys in their configuration files
[03:04] <Hamsterdam> the screen just freezes
[03:04] <rj1> rance94....just stick to C++
[03:04] <SodaPhish> rance94, so, your compile target is i686 probably
[03:04] <SodaPhish> ;-)
[03:04] <rj1> Assembler is processor specific
[03:04] <rj1> Hamsterdam check the disk for errors from the livecd menu
[03:04] <SodaPhish> rj1, yes, but generally if you're coding on a dell laptop, you can learn i386 asm and go from there
[03:04] <rance94> hey how do i get to the compiler from my desktop
[03:04] <SodaPhish> your processor specific bits are extensions
[03:04] <Doorman352> rance94: assembly is based on a specific processors registers and commands, go for i higher level language like C
[03:05] <SodaPhish> rance94, you open a shell, and you can run gcc from there.
[03:05] <jonaskoelker> rance94: open a terminal, run gcc
[03:05] <git__> can ubuntu read exFAT (FAT64)?
[03:05] <rance94> ahhh
[03:05] <Hamsterdam> rj1, thanks, but where do I look? like I said, I'm really new :(
[03:05] <sumeetbali> If anyone has any experience hackintosh please pm me..Thanks
[03:05] <SodaPhish> git__, probably
[03:05] <git__> what filesystem does external USB 1TB use?
[03:05] <SodaPhish> sumeetbali, I do...
[03:05] <SodaPhish> git__, probably fat32/vfat
[03:06] <jonaskoelker> git__: probably fat
[03:06] <jonaskoelker> git__: maybe ntfs
[03:06] <IdleOne> !illegal > sumeetbali
[03:06] <wolf23> can anyone help please, is there a way to make my keyboard buttons typing with sound?
[03:06] <rance94> well how do i run it srry im new to ubuntu im not trying to sound stupid
[03:06] <sumeetbali> SodaPhish, you do omg thanks can i pm you
[03:06] <losha> rance94: I agree with Doorman352. Almost nobody writes in assembler any more, it's too low level. Are you sure your time wouldn't be better spent doing something else?
[03:06] <jonaskoelker> git__: there are programs which can find out for you
[03:06] <rj1> hamsterdam when you put the cd in it will give you a menu
[03:06] <SodaPhish> sumeetbali, sure.
[03:06] <rj1> thats where you select install
[03:06] <Hamsterdam> right
[03:06] <rj1> instead of install there should be an option
[03:06] <SodaPhish> losha, totally not true.  there are a TON of ppl who write in assembler.
[03:06] <rj1> to check cd
[03:06] <rance94> losha yeah lol im using python and c++ now
[03:07] <jonaskoelker> rance94: run which?  The C compiler?
[03:07] <jonaskoelker> rance94: or c++?
[03:07] <rance94> anyone i have both but dont know how to get to them
[03:07] <eigenman> is there an easy way to change the hal settings without rebooting the machine? I want to disable the power_management.quirks, but I can't figure out how.
[03:07] <rj1> Hamsterdam its the menu BEFORE the desktop loads
[03:07] <Hamsterdam> ok, checking the disk now
[03:07] <git__> i can't store a 20GB virtual image in a vfat partition
[03:07] <git__> bummer
[03:08] <Doorman352> rance94: Here's your compiler...... http://www.thefreecountry.com/compilers/assemblers.shtml
[03:08] <rj1> rance94 look for make tutorials
[03:08] <rj1> for C++
[03:08] <rance94> jonaskoelker i have both i doesnt matter how do i get to it??
[03:08] <rj1> make and gcc tutorials
[03:08] <rance94> i have the compilers
[03:08] <rance94> i just dont know how to get to them
[03:08] <jonaskoelker> rance94: gcc foo.c
[03:08] <rj1> ........assembly doesnt HAVE compilers
[03:08] <wolf23> rj1: any idea dude, if there is a way to when i am typing on keyboard but with sound?
[03:08] <jonaskoelker> rance94: or g++ foo.cpp
[03:08] <rj1> Assembly has assemblers
[03:08] <rj1> wolf23: nope
[03:09] <rance94> g++ is what i have im trying to get to a c++ or my c compiler not assembley
[03:09] <jonaskoelker> rance94: g++ is a c++ compiler
[03:09] <rance94> wait i have g++ and gcc
[03:09] <enovativ> rj1: thanks for making me read the README.....i missed everything
[03:09] <losha> SodaPhish: if you say so. I don't see many job listings on craigslist for assembly language programmers...
[03:09] <rance94> jonaskoelker how do i get to g++ compiler
[03:09] <wrgb> rance94: this is the ubuntu support channel, try one of the channels about programming
[03:09] <Hamsterdam> I thought it might be a hardware issue but windows runs fine on the same machine
[03:09] <jonaskoelker> rance94: Applications->Accessories->Terminal
[03:10] <rj1> rance94: sudo apt-get g++
[03:10] <mrXX> is anyone using cairo and dnd2share?
[03:10] <rance94> rj1 i already have it
[03:10] <jonaskoelker> rance94: then type g++ my-file.cpp
[03:10] <Ironicus> whats the main difference between mandriva and ubuntu?
[03:10] <microlith> losha: generally you won't, people who do that tend to not need to look on craigslist
[03:10] <jonaskoelker> where my-file.cpp is the c++-file you want compiled
[03:10] <Doorman352> rj1: We compiled source code written in assembly language hundreds of years ago....
[03:10] <rj1> then rance94: http://www.cs.bu.edu/fac/gkollios/cs113/Usingg++.html
[03:10] <Ironicus> mandriva seems more beautiful, but is it as good as ubuntu?
[03:10] <rj1> Doorman352: no you didnt you used an assembler to translate assembly
[03:10] <losha> microlith: seems like a good argument for my point about them being rare these days....
[03:11] <jonaskoelker> Ironicus: I think you might get a biased answer in here ;-)
[03:11] <rance94> jonaskoelker lol no such file or directory so i guess i make one and enter that
[03:11] <Ironicus> hehe
[03:11] <jonaskoelker> rance94: well, depends on what you want to do
[03:11] <rj1> Doorman352: into binary
[03:11] <rance94> i want to write code like in the dev compiler
[03:11] <microlith> losha: mostly because the only people who need to do it are people porting to new architectures or doing work in super small microcontrollers
[03:11] <SodaPhish> losha, that's because there aren't many jobs that are EXCLUSIVELY assembler related
[03:11] <jonaskoelker> rance94: if you just want to code up some random c++, yeah, just go ahead
[03:11] <Ironicus> but I often hear about tools in ubuntu. I am a programmer, what are those tools for me
[03:11] <rance94> in notepad
[03:12] <rj1> Ironicus emacs/gedit/vim and g++/gcc
[03:12] <jonaskoelker> rance94: or vi or emacs :D
[03:12] <losha> Hamsterdam: try a different release e.g. 8.04. Or maybe a different distro....
[03:12] <xcat> does anybody know what i would install to get ubuntu base install to detect the right  resolution on a system after i've installed an x server?
[03:12] <jonaskoelker> Ironicus: emacs/vi, gcc, gdb, gprof, valgrind, ...
[03:12] <Doorman352> rj1: I'll bow to your obvious expertise, what do I know anyway.
[03:12] <rj1> Doorman352: more than I do but terminology does change ;)
[03:12] <rance94> omfg lol i hate this i want a compiler like dev but for linux do they have a compiler like that or not?
[03:12] <Ironicus> but how those toos can motivate me to use linux instead of windows for developpemet?
[03:12] <jonaskoelker> I hear someone implemented a C compiler in elisp :->
[03:12] <Ironicus> those tool*
[03:13] <rj1> rance94: FINE just use eclipse!
[03:13] <rance94> rj1 lol srry k
[03:13] <jonaskoelker> Ironicus: because they're better :)
[03:13] <Hamsterdam> Thanks all! I'll burn some discs and see where that leaves me
[03:13] <jonaskoelker> Ironicus: and as a programmer, you know important it is to have the best possible tools :)
[03:13] <rance94> rj1 didnt mean to say it like that it came out kinda mean lolz srry jonaskoelker
[03:13] <rj1> rance94 all of us answered your question multiple times, I am sorry that I lost my patience though
[03:14] <Ironicus> gedit doesn't seems better to anything lol
[03:14] <jonaskoelker> rance94: oh, now I see.  I'm fine :)
[03:14] <avgeneral> I have a problem: I lost sound after resuming from stand bye. I still see volume control. But still no sound
[03:14] <losha> Ironicus: small companies like those tools because they're free and as good (if not better) than commercial offerings....
[03:14] <rance94> rj1 yeah im sorry to ive been trying to do this before i can to the irc chat for a while and yeah well sorry
[03:14] <Ironicus> and I tried to use codeblock yesterday, but «I wasn't able to build and run my code because I didn't have the oermission
[03:15] <enovativ> i have this at the command line : Setting up gambas2-gb-form (2.8.2-1build1)
[03:15] <enovativ> it has been sitting at this command for five minutes
[03:15] <enovativ> and nothing else has happened.....
[03:16] <enovativ> i did run ./configure as root
[03:16] <enovativ> would that make any difference ?
[03:16] <rj1> ....
[03:16] <rj1> yes
[03:16] <rj1> yes it would
[03:16] <l43a2> loool
[03:16] <rj1> you shouldnt have run it in root
[03:16] <Jamed> enovativ: no, but you should not compile programms as root
[03:17] <rj1> this is NOT vista
[03:17] <l43a2> thats so funny
[03:17] <l43a2> LOL
[03:17] <i_is_broke> unless your planning on running it always in root.
[03:17] <enovativ> rj1: lol

[03:17] <losha> enovativ: open a new terminal and run ps ax to see what your system is doing....
[03:17] <avgeneral> I have a question, how do I regain audio after resuming from standby
[03:17] <l43a2> run rm -rf /
[03:17] <Ironicus> I don't understand why you pay for some mandriva
[03:18] <rj1> avgeneral: a better question is why do you LOSE audio after resuming from standby
[03:18] <fcuk112> !ops | l43a2
[03:18] <rj1> try restarting your audio manager(terminology?)
[03:18] <sebsebseb> fcuk112: I was going to do that
[03:18] <losha> l43a2: Please don't do that. Some newbie may not realise you're joking....
[03:18] <datz> sebsebseb: could there be a problem if I have a manual IP address in gnome
[03:18] <datz> and then switch to KED
[03:18] <sebsebseb> datz: I don't know you could try #kubuntu
[03:18] <l43a2> well then they dont belong here if they dont no what basic cmds r :P
[03:18] <enovativ> rj1: could i rerun the ./configure ?
[03:18] <rance94> hey um doorman352 how do i get to the assembler i got nasm and i need some help
[03:19] <datz> sebsebseb: ok
[03:19] <shadoukun> Okay, I need help getting the 9300M GS in my Sony Z to work, can someone help?
[03:19] <rj1> enovativ:  at this point I recommend scrapping your build and reinstalling ubuntu.
[03:19] <rj1> enovativ:  but ya kill the terminal and try reruning configure
[03:19] <ctmjr> l43a2: your right no one needs that kind of help you should leave
[03:19] <enovativ> rj1: reinstalling ubuntu..... ? !    that drastic ?
[03:19] <rj1> enovativ:  you DID use duso
[03:20] <Doorman352> rance94: When I wrote code it was on windows machines many years ago, as for LINUX, you'd have to find the docs for whatever app you grabbed and see what they tell ya to do.
[03:20] <rj1> enovativ:  sudo
[03:20] <rance94> doorman352 how do i get to my assembler i cant find it do i use terminal or what i got nasm
[03:20] <shadoukun> Okay, I need help getting the 9300M GS in my Sony Z to work, can someone help?
[03:20] <rance94> doorman352 o ok
[03:20] <losha> l43a2: this is a *support* channel. We oftenhelp newbies here...
[03:20] <enovativ> rj1: yes i used sudo
[03:20] <mrXX> anybody using dnd2share?
[03:20] <rj1> rance94....type in man nasm
[03:20] <l43a2> yea more newbs in here then in ##windows lol
[03:21] <rj1> enovativ: kill the terminal and rerun configure
[03:21] <enovativ> rj1: great, i will try that now.
[03:21] <rance94> rji thx man ur great help
[03:21] <sebsebseb> !troll |  l43a2
[03:21] <shadoukun> :\
[03:21] <jrtroberts> can anyone answer questions about repositories for me?
[03:21] <rj1> !troll | l43a2
[03:21] <spO> why does Karmic run 1080p movies slower than jaunty?
[03:21] <rj1> jrtroberts: go for it
[03:22] <Doorman352> rance94: According to the Ubuntu Forums, try reading the manual by typing this in terminal: man nasm
[03:22] <rj1> spO: maybe you need a different type of codec Doorman352: ninjad
[03:22] <jrtroberts> ok,,  I need to setup a private repository for my college's LUG  , the LTC LUG NUTS :)
[03:22] <jrtroberts> but I do not really know now to do this..
[03:22] <spO> rj1, i am using coreavc, what is doorman?
[03:23] <rj1> spO: doorman is another user
[03:23] <manoj> hi
[03:23] <rance94> doorman352 ok i read it
[03:23] <rj1> spO: follow the media install guide on the ubuntu forums spO
[03:23] <jrtroberts> I have seen the apt-mirror and apt-cacher options
[03:23] <rance94> doorman352 so do i write asm in notepad cause im lost
[03:24] <Doorman352> rance94: This is the only helpful comment for nasm, I could find in the forums: "I don't use nasm, but from what I have read you use a text editor to write the code then pass it on to nasm."
[03:24] <jrtroberts> but my college may not have the bandwidth for the apt-cacher (the IT department has limited ftp downloading to almost nothing)
[03:24] <avgeneral> yes sry about that rj1
[03:24] <rj1> spO: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683

[03:25] <inertial> rance94: are you looking to learn programming? someone told you to start with assembler??
[03:25] <rj1> avgeneral: crud crud...I THINK your using pulse audio?
[03:26] <sebsebseb> datz: busy you mean?
[03:26] <avgeneral> rj1, if by karmic koala defaults then yes
[03:26] <losha> rance94: note also that you can write a C program and ask gcc to show you the assembly language it creates. Great learning tool...
[03:26] <spO> rj1, thanks
[03:26] <datz> sebsebseb: where, here, or there?
[03:26] <rj1> avgeneral: type in pulseaudio see if that works
[03:26] <sebsebseb> datz: here
[03:26] <rj1> spO no problem
[03:26] <datz> sebsebseb: yep
[03:26] <NightEyes1> I broke my sound. I wanted to get my mic to work on RecordMyDesktop so I insalled Jack Control from the repo and and did some messing around with it. Before I found out the sound went away I removed Jack control. It later came to me after messing with other settings that it may have been jack. I disconnected it from the server, but it crashed on me. It kept crashing on me installed and remved it a couple of times still no dice
[03:26] <rance94> inertial well see i did use win xp and i know c++ and python but i want to learn asm and now i have linux and i dont know what to use to program in asm
[03:26] <alex87> do many of you make money using linux?
[03:26] <sebsebseb> datz: sure, but sometimes not that much going on
[03:26] <avgeneral> rj1: Daemon already running. \n pa_pid_file_create() failed
[03:27] <Doorman352> rj1: not to harp, but check the link I posted..... "Step 2. Compile .asm (source code) to .o (object)"
[03:27] <datz> sebsebseb: true, the same old I assume
[03:27] <sebsebseb> datz: the same old?
[03:27] <pressman57> Has anyone else reported a seriously messed-up X in ubuntu . SIS onboard video, Logitech cordless mouse.
[03:27] <rj1> Doorman352: doorman there is a difference between assembled and compiled languages :D
[03:27] <jrtroberts> losha: that may work, I had seen that, but then does the server need any configuring to make it work.  or just the clients?
[03:27] <inertial> rance94: what do you want to learn asm for? you only have to hand write it if you're writing system code and even then only small amounts
[03:27] <Fezzler> WOW.  Upgraded last night.  Amazing.
[03:27] <datz> sebsebseb: the same old sujects...just a guess..could be something new all the time ;)

[03:28] <rj1> avgeneral: that is weird. I recommend you post on the forums and wait for someone more skilled than I
[03:28] <sebsebseb> Blue1: install it
[03:28] <sebsebseb> Blue1: and then tools > plugins and enable it
[03:28] <avgeneral> lol ok. thx anyways
[03:28] <LordHawke13> Anyone know how to fix MIME entries?
[03:29] <LordHawke13> I've a real unique problem. . .
[03:29] <sebsebseb> pressman57: yep SIS don't support Linux :(  as far as I know and if I remember correctly
[03:29] <pressman57> sebsebseb, well they work just fine in Gentoo. I'm talkin' an unusable system. It's an embarrassment.
[03:29] <rance94> inertial well i heard it was really low level so it sounds interesting
[03:29] <Blue1> sebsebseb: i have it installed and all that (there is nothing in tools/plugins) I get the error messages (unable to retrive buddlist)
[03:30] <LordHawke13> My Guitar Pro tabs are recognized as "Guitar Pro Tableture" but the MIME entry is "audio/" I don't know how to fix that. . . Please help.
[03:30] <rj1> rance94 have you taken a course in programming? (any courses at all, being absolutely serious here)
[03:30] <inertial> rance94: i'd suggest getting a development board for a microcontroller and learning the assembler for it
[03:30] <sebsebseb> pressman57: well  quite a few things that don't just work in Ubuntu,  will in another distro
[03:30] <rance94> rj1 no lol im 15 and ive read books and youtube
[03:30] <losha> jrtroberts: well the way the web page does it, you make a CD and then just insert it on any machine you want to install stuff on....
[03:30] <NightEyes1> to who ever needed info on MIME entries what exactly did you need did you check .htaccess
[03:30] <Doorman352> rj1: Don't know if I could argue that nowadays, but back in my day, we compiled code....... Z80, 8080, 8086 era; been a looong time
[03:30] <inertial> rance94: programming a microcontroller in assembler would be more satisfying because you can do more...
[03:30] <NightEyes1> excuse me if I spelled that wrong
[03:31] <LordHawke13> NightEyes1, What's htaccess?
[03:31] <losha> Doorman352: heh, you're really old....
[03:31] <pressman57> sebsebseb, they worked in three past versions of Ubuntu. Why won't they now?
[03:31] <jrtroberts> losha  right, but I need a server since repositories can be several GB a cd may not work.
[03:31] <LordHawke13> NightEyes1, or .htaccess?
[03:31] <rance94> inertial well after i finish this program im writing in python ill try that
[03:31] <sebsebseb> pressman57: ,because sometimes hardware that just worked in previous versions of Ubuntu, don't in  a later one
[03:31]  * Doorman352 is older than dirt, I remember workin on systems with < 1K RAM

[03:32] <LordHawke13> !.htaccess
[03:32] <NightEyes1> it's a file I used it to add a speacal 404 page to my site. you can access it in the main directory of your site if your using it for wesites

[03:33] <rance94> inertial k thx
[03:33] <LordHawke13> NightEyes1, Not webpages. MIME types. The computer's way of recognizing file contents. The kind denoted by the file extension. . .
[03:33] <jrtroberts> Fretegi_2:  you might research run levels
[03:33] <justfil> i forgot the name of the app that executes scheduled commands... what was it?
[03:33] <losha> jrtroberts: well, I'm pretty sure you could adapt the process to run from disk instead of cdrom. You'll have to do a bit of digging on google for it though, as I've never done it myself...
[03:33] <LordHawke13> Can anybody help me with this problem?
[03:33] <Bam_Bam> justfil, cron
[03:33] <justfil> Bam_Bam, yes, thank you
[03:34] <Bam_Bam> does cron run bash scripts with root permissions?
[03:34] <Fretegi_2> well on other distros you can edit the /etc/inittab file and adjust the run levels... not sure on ubuntu
[03:34] <Jamed> Bam_Bam: only if you add the commands to roots crontab
[03:34] <Bam_Bam> Ok, thanks
[03:34] <NightEyes1> one time I was messing with the file and instead of PHP pages appearing they would download on a users computer I then found that it modified the MIME files
[03:34] <taofd> How do I set compiz to focus apps that require attention even if they are located on other workspaces?
[03:35] <lucascastro> can someone use ipp2p on ubuntu server ?
[03:35] <NightEyes1> I removed it the lines of code that where responsible
[03:35] <pressman57> sebsebseb, because of kernel size? Do I have to install a "retro-kernel" and all that entails, or do I re-build the source? What a pain in the ass.
[03:35] <NightEyes1> that's why I mentioned it
[03:35] <arvind_k> hi, i have a 100gb partition and have set it up as ext3...how do i make it writeable by me?
[03:35] <LordHawke13> NightEyes1, Yeah. . . but this has nothing to do with webpages. . .
[03:36] <Jamed> Fretegi_2: you can do that in ubuntu as well
[03:36] <taofd> How do I set compiz to focus apps that require attention even if they are located on other workspaces?
[03:36] <Fretegi_2> jamed, how so?
[03:36] <NightEyes1> ok just thought I might throw that out there you weren't very specific
[03:36] <Blue1> sebsebseb: there is no plugin setting for pidgin/facebook --
[03:36] <xim_> I want a dual-monitor single video card that will play well with ubuntu (compiz willing),  is there any particular brand which would be likely to not cause me much stress to get working?
[03:36] <Fretegi_2> i get a blank doc if i try to edit /etc/inittab
[03:36] <Jamed> Fretegi_2: sudo nano /etc/inittab (ar whatever editor you prefer)
[03:37] <Jamed> Fretegi_2: oh, strange
[03:37] <sebsebseb> Blue1: you need to install the plugin for Facebook IM
[03:37] <sebsebseb> Blue1: and then enable it in Pidgin
[03:37] <Fretegi_2> lemme try again
[03:37] <Bam_Bam> Jamed, it appears that the root account is used to run the /etc/cron.hourly scripts on the 9.10 server I have
[03:37] <Fretegi_2> been using gedit
[03:37] <Blue1> sebsebseb: installed but no way to enable - it just shows up in the list of accounts...
[03:37] <carneades> hello, has anyone else had trouble getting sftp to work after installing openssh-server? ssh works great but sftp'ing to the machine fails
[03:37] <saladfinger> hello, does anyone know the package to install for ubuntu to use .wmv files?
[03:37] <sebsebseb> Blue1: yes it's an account
[03:37] <sebsebseb> Blue1: you need to set the account up for it
[03:38] <Jamed> Bam_Bam: since its in /etc i guess it is roots crontab
[03:38] <carneades> saladfinger:ubuntu-restricted-extras
[03:38] <bondy> vlc media player will play .wmv
[03:38] <Blue1> sebsebseb: yes I've set the up but it still says unable to retrieve buddy list...
[03:38] <Bam_Bam> Jamed, I just didn't know so I asked. 17 *    * * *   root    cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly
[03:38] <jrtroberts> does anyone know how to edit the apt-mirror  /etc/apt/mirror.list file to add other repositories such as medibuntu? how do I get all the information I need to create an entry?
[03:38] <lucascastro> do someone use ipp2p  on ubuntu ?
[03:39] <Bam_Bam> lucascastro, are ssh tunnels a possibility for you?
[03:39] <Fretegi_2> roberts, etc/init.d/ sound better?
[03:39] <sebsebseb> Blue1: make sure username and password are correct, also which Ubuntu are you on?
[03:39] <LordHawke13> Someone, please. I need help. . . I have a MIME type entry "audio/x-gtp" for GuitarPro files, "*.gtp *.gp2 *.gp3 *.gp4 *.gp5" But when I right click for properties, It says the type is "audio/" This error is overriding my settings. How can I fix this!?
[03:40] <cam_> hello, i have created an USB disk creator on my thumbdrive. I selected the option "stored in the extetnded space". when booting, i create my own account, then System Administration Login Screen, i select this new account as default automatic login. When i shutdown, reboot, it'll autologin with the default "ubuntu" user .. any idea why ?
[03:40] <Blue1> sebsebseb: they are correct - this is what I have installed -- ii  pidgin-faceboo 1.60-1.1       Facebook Chat plugin for Pidgin
[03:40] <Blue1>   I am on ubuntu 9.10 (64 bit)
[03:40] <wdouglas> Speaking of crontab I'm having trouble getting things to run from 6.5-14.. * 6.5-14 * * 1-5 cmd not working
[03:40] <sebsebseb> Blue1: ok well as far as I know you can also use that plugin in Empathy
[03:40] <cam_> (i'm on on 9.10 i386)
[03:40] <rj1> Theres a FACEBOOK plugin for pidgin *GLEE*
[03:40] <sebsebseb> rj1: Facebook IM yeah
[03:40] <jrtroberts> Fretegi_2: what about the init.d file?
[03:40] <Bam_Bam> How do I change the ubuntu OS timezone?
[03:41] <Blue1> rj1: yes that's what I am trying to get to work - the pidgin/facebook plugin
[03:41] <bondy> is it booting a live cd cam?
[03:41] <qp_pq> is there a console where I get anti-aliased fonts ?
[03:41] <rj1> bam_bam there should be a menu item under administration
[03:41] <Fretegi_2> well just trying to find the ubuntu runlevels lol
[03:41] <qp_pq> like the one in dreamlinux
[03:41] <cam_> bondy: i booting a usb thumbdrive
[03:41] <qp_pq> which I don't remember the name of
[03:41] <jrtroberts> that is a GRUB booting option
[03:41] <lucascastro> Bam_Bam: i'm talking about ipp2p blocks by firewall's
[03:41] <arvind_k> hi, i have a 100gb partition and have set it up as ext3...how do i make it writeable by me?
[03:41] <NightEyes1> If anyone knows how to get sound working again please tell me. I do accept PMs if neccary
[03:41] <bondy> is the image a live cd though cam?
[03:42] <mrXX> is there any software in ubuntu that does this - play the audio from my youtube playlist- ???
[03:42] <qp_pq> is there a console where I get anti-aliased fonts ?
[03:42] <Bam_Bam> rj1, I need a command line alternative
[03:42] <Jamed> Fretegi_2: i just realized that there is no inittab anymore. i guess its because ubuntu uses upstart now
[03:42] <filthynoob> wat
[03:42] <Fretegi_2> ahh, gotcha, so how do i boot directly to a command terminal only then
[03:42] <cam_> bondy: i used USB disk creator to create the thumb drive with persistent mode on
[03:42] <losha> jrtroberts: look at 'man apt-mirror' for sample config lines....
[03:43] <digitalfiz> is there a way to mount a ssh connection?
[03:43] <rj1> bam_bam gimme a second
[03:43] <Fretegi_2> dont want gnome loading, just right to a command prompt but not in any kind of recovery or safe mode
[03:43] <Jamed> Fretegi_2: i have no idea sorry. i only know the inittab way
[03:43] <xae8koo> My dhcp sercer isn't working
[03:43] <Bam_Bam> freaky[t], there is always the recovery mode
[03:43] <Ashfire908> digitalfiz, sshfs works for me.
[03:43] <digitalfiz> Ashfire908, ty :)
[03:43] <Jordan_U> digitalfiz: sshfs
[03:43] <Bam_Bam> Fretegi_2, , there is always the recovery mode
[03:43] <xim_> I want a dual-monitor single video card that will play well with ubuntu (compiz willing),  is there any particular brand which would be likely to not cause me much stress to get working?  i know nvidia drivers are proprietary.  Is that bad?
[03:43] <Bam_Bam> Fretegi_2, idk if there is a better option
[03:43] <freaky[t]> Bam_Bam, ?
[03:44] <Bam_Bam> sorry wrong nick
[03:44] <rj1> bam_bam http://www.wikihow.com/Change-the-Timezone-in-Linux try this at your own risk
[03:44] <qp_pq> is there a console where I get anti-aliased fonts ?
[03:44] <Bam_Bam> rj1, I accept the risk
[03:44] <Bam_Bam> thank you
[03:44]  * Shazzamy
[03:44] <jrtroberts> Fretegi_2: have you tried CTRL+ALT+F1 at boot?
[03:45] <Jordan_U> cam_: Did you enable persistence?
[03:45] <LordHawke13> TTY1
[03:45] <Fretegi_2> hmmmm... well its for running on a server, no need to waste resources on the gui, never need to work on it, can always load later if needed anyhow, thats the goal at least
[03:45] <Fretegi_2> hadnt tried that roberts, i shall tho thanks
[03:45] <plustax> I am trying to make a video of my desktop, but I want to use music coming from my songbird. I have jackd installed but it doesnt seem to be working. I am using gtk recordmydesktop
[03:45] <plustax> can anyone help me?
[03:45] <jrtroberts> did you install server or desktop?
[03:45] <taofd> does karmic sync its clock to internet time? or is there a way to enable this without too much hassle?
[03:46] <jrtroberts> since the last time I installed server it did not have a gui installed by default.
[03:46] <Jamed> Fretegi_2: if you use jrtroberts way it will still start the GUI
[03:46] <cam_> Jordan_U: yes
[03:46] <xim_> taofd, it does it automatically
[03:46] <LordHawke13> I'm lost. Can someone help me?
[03:46] <Ashfire908> Fretegi_2, IF you want a no-gui server, install ubuntu server edition.
[03:46] <taofd> xim_, oh it does? cool :)
[03:46] <Fretegi_2> well currently its desktop, just trying to figure it out, should be the same yes?
[03:46] <xim_> taofd, yeah you dont set the clock, just the timezone
[03:46] <Jordan_U> cam_: How large is the flash drive?
[03:46] <xim_> taofd, in fact, i wouldnt know how to sit it to an arbitarry time if i wanted to
[03:46] <Fretegi_2> yea there is no need for the gui to run until i need it, and if i build it right that wont be often :)
[03:47] <jrtroberts> I believe that server does not distribute with the desktop environment
[03:47] <taofd> xim_, i mean, is it kept up to date though.. is it kept in sync?
[03:47] <plustax> I am trying to make a video of my desktop, but I want to use music coming from my songbird. I have jackd installed but it doesnt seem to be working. I am using gtk recordmydesktop
[03:47] <plustax> can anyone help me?
[03:47] <jrtroberts> you have to install it with the apt-get
[03:47] <digitalfiz> Ashfire908, ever use it with id_rsa files? i dont seem to see a way to in the help
[03:47] <taofd> xim_, like windows and mac will occassionall ping an internet server to check time
[03:47] <jrtroberts> at least that is how it was with 8.04
[03:47] <cam_> my flash drive is 16GB; i installed ubuntu on a 2GB partition.
[03:47] <Fretegi_2> i am running 8.04 actually
[03:47] <jrtroberts> so try installing the server and that will cut out a lot of problems.
[03:47] <cam_> Jordan_U: my flash drive is 16GB; i installed ubuntu on a 2GB partition.
[03:47] <taofd> Fretegi_2, upgrade to karmic, you're missing out :)
[03:47] <Jamed> Fretegi_2: i found something: edit DEFAULT_RUNLEVEL in /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf
[03:48] <jrtroberts> right but you are using the desktop distro, no the server distro
[03:48] <rynye> xim_: proprietary just means that the drivers are closed sourced. dual screen with nvidia cards is pretty ez on windows anyway. not too sure if it will work with linux. haven't tried that yet.
[03:48] <eL_pSycHo> hi, im using karmic. and i have installed gnome and KDE. i would like to know if i can make cairo dock autostart in gnome but not in KDE. currently it autostarts on both. anyone know how?
[03:48] <xim_> taofd, lol yeah, theres plenty of people using ubuntu, you can assume things like that work.  although i dont know anything about the actual sync algorithms
[03:48] <Bam_Bam> Oh, I've got another question... How come sudo updatedb in my server returns command not found, even with the FindUtils package?
[03:48] <Jamed> Fretegi_2: oh, hten ignore my last message
[03:48] <Ashfire908> digitalfiz, one sec
[03:48] <Jamed> Fretegi_2: *then
[03:48] <rj1> eL_psycho where did you set the startup
[03:48] <taofd> xim_, thanks dude :)
[03:48] <inertial> excuse my ignorance, but is it as easy to upgrade from an 'alternate' release than just the standard one?
[03:48] <eL_pSycHo> rj1, in gnome.
[03:48] <taofd> Anyone know how to set compiz (or gnome) to focus apps that require attention even if they are located on other workspaces?
[03:48] <Jordan_U> cam_: For a 16 gig flash drive I would suggest a normal install, just use the standard installer and make sure you set grub to be installed to the flash drive rather than your internal drive
[03:48] <plustax> I am trying to make a video of my desktop, but I want to use music coming from my songbird. I have jackd installed but it doesnt seem to be working. I am using gtk recordmydesktop
[03:48] <rj1> ok there should be something called xcript. Just set it on that.
[03:48] <plustax> I am trying to make a video of my desktop, but I want to use music coming from my songbird. I have jackd installed but it doesnt seem to be working. I am using gtk recordmydesktop
[03:48] <Fretegi_2> thanks jamed, i would upgrade however i cannot, no graphix support that i am aware of
[03:48] <FloodBot3> plustax: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:48] <xim_> rynye, i know it will work with windows, but i also know computers that refuse to run ubuntu because of certain video cards (atleast >vga)
[03:49] <rj1> el_psycho ignore what I said
[03:49] <rj1> gimme a second
[03:49] <eL_pSycHo> rj1, ok
[03:49] <NightEyes1> xim: from my understanding even if they where closed source doesn't mean someone can't make opensource drivers that just so happen to work
[03:49] <Fretegi_2> man i feel like an idiot, cant remember anything, whats the command to check version again? i only found my kernel
[03:49] <jongjong> jongberg1: hello
[03:49] <Jordan_U> cam_: There are disadvantages to a standard "persistent" install, for instance you can't upgrade the kernel
[03:49] <Ashfire908> digitalfiz, how are you useing ssh at the moment?
[03:50] <digitalfiz> Ashfire908, yes i can ssh using a id_rsa just cant find the options in sshfs to do so
[03:50] <init6> I encrypted a partition where my home directory is.  under 9.10 at boot i don't always type my password before the gui login screen appears and i can't login.  has anyone documented fixes for this problem?
[03:50] <rj1> el_psycho try using the xsession script
[03:50] <jrtroberts> Fretegi_2: try run level 3 or 4
[03:50] <rj1> and then just starting that as a session
[03:50] <Bam_Bam> Oh, I've got another question... How come sudo updatedb in my server returns command not found, even with the FindUtils package?
[03:50] <rj1> then remove the gnome startup
[03:50] <jrtroberts> 3 - Multiple users, command line (i.e., all-text mode) interface; the standard runlevel for most Linux-based server hardware.
[03:50] <jrtroberts> 4 - User-definable
[03:50] <digitalfiz> Ashfire908,  for ssh its -i id_rsa_file but sshfs doesnt seem to have that option
[03:50] <Ashfire908> digitalfiz, i don't think you need to tell it to use a key...
[03:51] <digitalfiz> thats the only way to login to my server lol
[03:51] <rj1> oh and eL_pSycHo try that at your own risk
[03:51] <spirits-sight> anyone know the apt-get install ... for instaling lamp server all at once I know there is a package that does so?
[03:51] <Billiard1> digitalfiz: i would think it would use the key in your ~/.ssh directory
[03:51] <Ashfire908> digitalfiz, when i use a key it's transparent...
[03:51] <eL_pSycHo> rj1, so, start xsession, and then do what there?
[03:51] <digitalfiz> its not a key its an identification method
[03:51] <jongjong> spirits-sight: sudo apt-get install lamp-server
[03:52] <Ashfire908> digitalfiz, whatever you want to call it...
[03:52] <digitalfiz> i dont use a password i use id_rsa
[03:52] <xae8koo> Support for collaborative applications (“tubes”). What is that?
[03:52] <rj1> el_psycho im going to have to boot into linux real quick, you might want to consider asking someone else I might be confused XD
[03:52] <Ashfire908> digitalfiz, is the id_rsa file in your ~/.ssh directory?
[03:52] <Fretegi_2> k think i found it, ill report back
[03:52] <digitalfiz> Ashfire908, if it helps im on an amazon ec2 install of ubuntu
[03:53] <Jordan_U> spirits-sight: sudo tasksel
[03:53] <eL_pSycHo> rj1, hehe thanks. im gonna take a look at xsession.
[03:53] <default> nick xcat
[03:53] <rj1> eL_pSycHo: no wait xsession should work
[03:53] <rj1> here
[03:53] <spirits-sight> jongjong: OK do you know if its the same for the server edition ?  if so why would it say can't find package lamp-server
[03:53] <rynye> xim: I only know of one video card which im running that will handle duel screens just fine. pretty, sure anyway. im running a geforce go 7400 if that helps any. it's a laptop card..so it runs on the slow side.
[03:53] <Ashfire908> digitalfiz, is the id_rsa file in your ~/.ssh directory?
[03:53] <digitalfiz> Ashfire908, yes
[03:54] <Billiard1> spirits-sight: i dont think there is a package lamp-server
[03:54] <rj1> http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/docbook/en/html/app-setup.html it wont look exactly the same so I am advising you to ask around the forums
[03:54] <Ashfire908> digitalfiz, and sshfs doesn't autouse the key/whatever?
[03:54] <Billiard1> digitalfiz: does ssh use the key automatically ?
[03:54] <Jordan_U> spirits-sight: There is no lamp package but there is a lamp "tak" in tasksel
[03:55] <spirits-sight> Jordan_U: that the one how do you do this please
[03:55] <Jordan_U> spirits-sight: sudo tasksel
[03:56] <cam_> Jordan_U: so what should i do ?
[03:56] <Jordan_U> cam_: For a 16 gig flash drive I would suggest a normal install, just use the standard installer and make sure you set grub to be installed to the flash drive rather than your internal drive
[03:56] <digitalfiz> Billiard1, Ashfire908, i had to rename it to id_rsa for it to work
[03:56] <Billiard1> digitalfiz: yeah that makes sense
[03:56] <Ashfire908> digitalfiz, that's normal.
[03:56] <digitalfiz> Ashfire908, but now i get: read: Connection reset by peer
[03:57] <arvind_k> hi, i have a 100gb partition and have set it up as ext3...how do i make it writeable by me?
[03:57] <LordHawke13> Why would a filetype read as "audio/" when it has a MIME type entry in the database? "audio/x-gtp"
[03:57] <Ashfire908> digitalfiz, I'm totally clueless towards that.
[03:57] <Jordan_U> cam_: To set where grub is installed click advanced when you get to this screen: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/images/9.10/9.jpg
[03:57] <digitalfiz> Ashfire908,  well i wanted to specify the id_rsa because i have different id_rsa's depending on the host
[03:58] <LordHawke13> !mime
[03:58] <Ashfire908> digitalfiz, ah.
[03:58] <LordHawke13> f***
[03:58] <sumeetbali> has anyone used maconlinux?
[03:58] <Ashfire908> LordHawke13, you mean fsck?
[03:58] <Billiard1> digitalfiz: you may be able to have multiple keys in one id_rsa file
[03:59] <digitalfiz> Billiard1, ah didnt think about that ill check it out thanks
[03:59] <greezmunkey> Whoa, I didn't know Evolution could deal with GMail, and MS Exchange Web Access accounts! Zowie.
