[16:55] <faily> does anyone know how to see what is causing a 'cryptsetup luksClose foo' to fail, it keeps saying the device is busy, but i have no idea, theres nothing that appears to be left mounted having anything to do with dm-crypt or /dev/mapper
[16:55] <^mNotIntelligent> mfpb221, yeh sure...gimme a min....lemme google it
[16:55] <James_T_Kirk> Halitech: that sounds clever... i will also try that
[16:55] <nikhil> VIRUS IN UBUNTU??!!  i have ubuntu 8.04 installed on desktop. when i start my computer, after sometime it starts getting slowed down. the computer becomes very noisy. the process monitor does not show any thing suspicious at least to my untrained eye. please help. i had called a technician and he cleared the dust which was settled in the cooling fan. then the computer started behaving properly for a day and then the same problem again. please help. it is
[16:55] <nikhil> disturbing my computing experience.
[16:55] <grawity> thinkertinker: Isn't Turbo C++ a MS-DOS thing? O_o
[16:55] <Dr_Willis> mehedi:  you can set tghe keyrings password to blank in applications -> acessories -> passwords
[16:55] <Halitech> James_T_Kirk, that will give you a url to post here
[16:55] <mikunos> any idea?
[16:55] <KB1JWQ> nikhil: Blow out the fan again?
[16:56] <jarvisillu> holaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame gustaria recibir info de alguien que sepa
[16:56] <jarvisillu> hackear canales

[16:56] <Dr_Willis> nikhil:  i doubt if its a virus.   what is 'noisy' meaning? fans revving up to high speed?
[16:56] <^mNotIntelligent> grawity, rightly said
[16:56] <Halitech> !repeat | nikhil
[16:56] <boknoy> mikunos, what about openoffice or scribus?
[16:56] <thinkertinker> grawity Yes.. And only thing i have here is g++. I need the code to run in Turbo c++ for my friend.
[16:56] <jarvisillu> please, someone know how to hack irc channels???
[16:56] <akik> hi
[16:56] <KB1JWQ> jarvisillu: That's off topic for this channel.
[16:56] <icarus-c> is there a page listing ubuntu 9.10's features?
[16:56] <boknoy> omg noob
[16:56] <grawity> jarvisillu: 1) No, we don't. 2) It isn't called "hacking" either.
[16:56] <nikhil> yes, fans are revving up to high speed!
[16:56] <James_T_Kirk> thanks Halitech and ^mNotIntelligent
[16:57] <James_T_Kirk> will be back
[16:57] <llutz> jarvisillu: 1st: /join #stupid-hackers-here
[16:57] <boknoy> jarvisillu, get an axe and hack away
[16:57] <jarvisillu> grawity
[16:57] <jarvisillu> so...
[16:57] <jarvisillu> how is it called?
[16:57] <Dr_Willis> thinkertinker:  in theory if you just used 'standard' (ansi?) C - it should compile on most compilers
[16:57] <^mNotIntelligent> James_T_Kirk, no probs dude
[16:57] <jarvisillu> llutz
[16:57] <Halitech> nikhil, bad connection between the cpu and the heatsink would be my guess if the fan is speeding up trying to cool things
[16:57] <jarvisillu> please
[16:57] <jarvisillu> dont fuck me
[16:57] <jarvisillu> ok?
[16:57] <FloodBot3> jarvisillu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:57] <jarvisillu> im only asking
[16:57] <bazhang> jarvisillu, please stop
[16:57] <thinkertinker> Dr_Willis Is there a standard for c++ too ?
[16:58] <MK13> thinkertinker, code compiled in g++ should compile with anyother compiler as long as you don't use system calls
[16:58] <grawity> jarvisillu: It's called "pretending to be a hacker while just annoying the hell out of everyone"
[16:58] <^mNotIntelligent> !language | jarvisillu
[16:58] <icarus-c> !feature
[16:58] <jarvisillu> ok
[16:58] <llutz> jarvisillu: g, ask daddy
[16:58] <icarus-c> aha
[16:58] <Dr_Willis> thinkertinker:  yes i think there is.
[16:58] <nikhil> hmm how to solve that problem?
[16:59] <thinkertinker> MK13 and does system calls include reading and writing into files?
[16:59] <Dr_Willis> thinkertinker:  there are standard  c  libs that do that
[16:59] <jarvisillu> well
[16:59] <Halitech> jarvisillu, thats a deep hole
[16:59] <MK13> thinkertinker, no a system call would be like "system('OS-dependent-call-here')"
[17:00] <tsimpson> thinkertinker: if you use C++ io streams, it's all standard
[17:00] <^mNotIntelligent> thinkertinker, we do have standards for these
[17:00] <jezlee> Hi, how do I upgrade from ubuntu 9.1 beta to ubuntu 9.1 Release Candidate ?
[17:00] <jarvisillu> im sure youre fuckings freaks
[17:00] <MK13> thinkertinker, i move code b/tw visual studio and g++ all the time
[17:00] <^mNotIntelligent> jezlee, 9.1 ?

[17:05] <Halitech> boknoy, I think they are trying to go in alphabetical order
[17:05] <MK13> boknoy, yep alphabetical order
[17:05] <boknoy> i know, but they skipped in warty
[17:05] <erUSUL> boknoy: between k and  T there quite a few letters yet
[17:05] <boknoy> didn't they just start with dapper?
[17:06] <boknoy> no, edgy right?

[17:07] <grawity> a931bw: Try 'sudo -i'
[17:07] <Dr_Willis> a931bw:  direct logging as root via gdm is disalbed  by the gdm configs also
[17:07] <doutx89> pourquoi , onts tombe sur un salon lire topic
[17:07] <Scunizi> a931bw: use sudo in front of the commnad needing root access.. and your password
[17:07] <Halitech> a931bw, logging in as root is not supported
[17:07] <a931bw> i was enabling thi in 7.10

[17:11] <Eow> Hello there!
[17:11] <boknoy> hi there?
[17:11] <^mNotIntelligent> !hi | Eow
[17:11] <roddy> good evening everybody
[17:11] <Eow> Is there anyone who can help me out?
[17:12] <boknoy> what's the prob?
[17:12] <grawity> Eow: Just ask your question.
[17:12] <^mNotIntelligent> !ask | Eow
[17:12] <^mNotIntelligent> roddy, good evening
[17:12] <MaT-dg> I'm burning the new 9.10 ISO to CD-RW but brasero (ubuntu 9.04) seems stuck on 'creating image checksum'. It's working but never finishes, time is going up.
[17:13] <mac> Ubuntu rocks!
[17:13] <Swamy_JSV> Hi
[17:13] <Eow> Well, I seem to have Installed Ubuntu, as I don't feel Vista's for me (and i'm not someone who has money, student) - I've used it before, but i'm wondering how you can install stuff on it, i'm not very familiar with Linux core..
[17:13] <Dr_Willis> MaT-dg:  it can take some time to do a checksum. Personally i use unetbootin to make bootable flash media. (or usb creator tool)
[17:13] <roddy> i can't use Innodb  in mysql on ubuntu....can somebody help me?
[17:13] <boknoy> use the add/remove programs
[17:13] <Halitech> Eow, add/remove or synaptic
[17:13] <Dr_Willis> MaT-dg:  now i got Grub2 on a flash drive booting my Ubuntu 9.10 ISO file. :)
[17:13] <mac> is there any way to install ubuntu or any linux distro on a pc without cd player?
[17:14] <a931bw> How to edit /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom
[17:14] <a931bw> ?
[17:14] <Eow> Well, programs that do not exist in the add remove programs, such as a game called Puzzle Pirates..
[17:14] <boknoy> mac, yes unetbootin or debootstrap
[17:14] <^mNotIntelligent> roddy, can you be more specific
[17:14] <Dr_Willis> mac:  flash drive, net boot,   perhaps other ways
[17:14] <a931bw> /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom
[17:14] <a931bw> how to edit this file?
[17:14] <MaT-dg> Dr_Willis: is it okay to cancel the image checksum?
[17:14] <boknoy> EoW, maybe synaptic?
[17:14] <^mNotIntelligent> mac, yeh its possible
[17:14] <grawity> Eow: If the program comes as a .deb package, use that. (Double-click the file, or run sudo dpkg -i file.deb)
[17:14] <Dr_Willis> MaT-dg:  proberly.  but i rarely7 use that tool.
[17:15] <Dr_Willis> a931bw:  sudo vi /path/to/file
[17:15] <Dr_Willis> a931bw:  is one way
[17:15] <grawity> Eow: Quite often, compiling from source is needed.
[17:15] <a931bw> vi?
[17:15] <boknoy> lol use gedit if it's more comfortable
[17:15]  * boknoy has got to stop with these lols...
[17:15] <Dr_Willis> a931bw:    vi is an editor.. use what you like
[17:16] <grawity> Dr_Willis: Suggesting vi on #ubuntu?  Isn't that a Java game from the internet?
[17:16] <a931bw> Dr
[17:16] <a931bw> i need cause of one game
[17:16] <boknoy> Dr_Willis, maybe he's an emacs person. :D
[17:16] <Eow> And if not? It says you opent the terminal and do sudo get apt something lalala... >.<
[17:16] <a931bw> ok
[17:16] <a931bw> trying now
[17:17]  * ^mNotIntelligent rotflol
[17:17] <Dr_Willis> had to quit to use vi? :)
[17:17] <^mNotIntelligent> boknoy, quite possible ...lol
[17:17] <micro> hey, what package should i install to have pppd ?
[17:17] <Dr_Willis> boknoy:  i get the impression a reinstall will be in his future soon
[17:17] <MostafaSheshtawy> i need GNOME shell .. where to get it from
[17:18] <grawity> Dr_Willis: I mean, vim at least supports arrow keys. vi doesn't.
[17:18] <soreau> !pdf
[17:18] <boknoy> hahaha after all, I am a vim man.
[17:18] <Dr_Willis> grawity:  vi is  vim on the default ubuntu
[17:18] <boknoy> MostafaSheshtawy, that's experimental software i believe
[17:18] <micro> MostafaSheshtawy, sudo apt-get isntall gnome-shell , be sure to disable compiz befor starting it
[17:18] <Dr_Willis> grawity:  and vim-full Handles the arrows. :) the light vim dosent.
[17:18] <grawity> Dr_Willis: But it might be vi elsewhere.
[17:18] <MostafaSheshtawy> micro: jusut that simple
[17:18] <MostafaSheshtawy> ?
[17:18] <Dr_Willis> grawity:  real men dont use arrows! :)
[17:19] <micro> im on 9.10, its beta and i added all the sources in /etc/apt/sources.list
[17:19] <micro> and i got it
[17:19] <grawity> Dr_Willis: Real men use WASD?
[17:19] <maco> Dr_Willis: good that i'm a woman then, because i use the arrow keys
[17:19] <boknoy> I liked vim-full, only it doesn't look like it exists anymore...
[17:19] <maco> micro: #ubuntu+1
[17:19] <Dr_Willis> grawity:  if we told him nano.. he wouldent know what ^x ment
[17:19] <Dr_Willis> !info vim-full
[17:19] <maco> boknoy: it does
[17:19] <maco> oh
[17:19] <Dr_Willis> boknoy:  hmm?
[17:19] <Dr_Willis> :)
[17:19] <grawity> boknoy: The day vim stops existing, is the day world collapses.
[17:19] <MaT-dg> Dr_Willis: starting to think the ISO is corrupted.. doesn't take +15mins for a checksum and unetbootin is stuck at 5% for several minutes now ;)
[17:19] <^mNotIntelligent> maco, grawity , Dr_Willis : LOl
[17:19] <MostafaSheshtawy> micro: couldn't find package gnome-shell
[17:20] <boknoy> Dr_Willis, wait, that's in Debian. cuz I tried to apt-get install vim-full and they seem to have renamed it.
[17:20] <maco> Dr_Willis, boknoy: youre right, not in karmic
[17:20] <Eow> btw, does any of you know if There's a program (like dreamweaver) to use on Ubuntu?
[17:20] <boknoy> Eow, for editing html? bluefish
[17:20] <Eow> boknoy: Yes, and php..
[17:20] <Halitech> Eow, nvu komposer
[17:21] <grawity> Eow: I'd suggest learning either vim or emacs one day.
[17:21] <mac> why don' t you use pico?
[17:21] <mac> xD
[17:21] <grawity> mac: Because it has been replaced by nano years ago?
[17:21] <boknoy> iunno if bluefish does php though
[17:21] <Eow> Halitech: Thank you =)
[17:21] <Eow> Thanks Grawity
[17:21] <MostafaSheshtawy> how to get GNOME SHELL everyone ?>
[17:21] <marenostrum> Hello Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty9) here with web browsers Firefox 3.0 (default), Firefox 3.5 (Shiretoko), Epiphany, Dillo, w3m... Question: Is there anybody who can use Ubuntu + OpenDNS + OpenDNS Shortcuts? I use OpenDNS as an DNS server but can not use its shotcuts service whatever I try to do.
[17:21] <boknoy> or worse, ed... or the worst of all, echo!
[17:21] <grawity> boknoy: Or a magnetized needle. Or butterflies.
[17:22] <boknoy> butterfiles... haha xkcd. classic
[17:22] <MostafaSheshtawy> boknoy: yes it is experimental , do you know where to get it from ?
[17:23] <boknoy> MostafaSheshtawy, let me check if there's a deb floating somewhere
[17:24] <boknoy> can't seem to find one, maybe you have to build it from source
[17:25]  * ^mNotIntelligent "Out for dinner, will be back in 30 mins "
[17:25] <boknoy> there's a guide here, http://anotherubuntu.blogspot.com/2008/11/installing-gnome-shell-in-ubuntu.html
[17:25] <LjL> !away | ^mNotIntelligent
[17:25] <arkangel_> hola
[17:25] <arkangel_> hello
[17:25] <Scunizi> marenostrum: yep.. all the time
[17:26] <James_T_Kirk> folks, i think am gonna just  go ahead and GIVE UP and repair Ubuntu with LiveCD
[17:26] <James_T_Kirk> can anyone show me how to do this?
[17:26] <boknoy> James_T_Kirk, depends... how broken is it?
[17:26] <Scunizi> marenostrum: are you using a router? and did you change the dns references in the router or only in your machine?
[17:27] <marenostrum> qScunizzi From the machine only
[17:27] <marenostrum> @Scunizzi From the machine only
[17:28] <Scunizi> marenostrum: you have to change the references in your router
[17:28] <James_T_Kirk> boknoy: apt-get -f install wont work... it keeps giving me dependency issues
[17:29] <boknoy> err... the unsolvable kinds? might have to reinstall
[17:29] <James_T_Kirk> boknoy: can you show me what to do? step by step, with the LiveCD?
[17:29] <Halitech> James_T_Kirk, do you have the kubuntu desktop and ubuntu desktops both installed?
[17:30] <marenostrum> @Scunizzi Thank, I will do this but do you know why? No documentation says that it is a must. And at the time being I can use opendns as a DNS server.
[17:30] <Scunizi> marenostrum: not sure.. it's just the way it works for me.
[17:30] <boknoy> hmm... do you still have some space? I'm thinking of installing ubuntu in a new partition, copy files from the broken one to that one, and wipe the old one
[17:30] <James_T_Kirk> Halitech: just Ubuntu... not sure about Kubuntu
[17:31] <James_T_Kirk> boknoy: i think i do have some, but i may have an issue of partitioning... not very good at it
[17:31] <James_T_Kirk> lol
[17:31] <marenostrum> @Scunizzi Thanks a lot. By the way what is your browser exactly?
[17:32] <James_T_Kirk> what does this error mean?
[17:32] <boknoy> James_T_Kirk, haha I did the same thing once, only partitioning wasn't my problem. I screwed up with /boot
[17:32] <Halitech> James_T_Kirk, what about using the live cd to copy important files to something like dropbox or adrive and then doing your reinstall?
[17:32] <James_T_Kirk> errors were encountered while processing /var/cache/archives/libgnomekbd3_2.26.0-l_i386.deb
[17:33] <James_T_Kirk> and this
[17:33] <JAMD456> How do you get Ubuntu to connect to an AOSS network?
[17:33] <James_T_Kirk> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[17:33] <mac> is there any way to install ubuntu or any linux distro on a pc without cd player?
[17:33] <boknoy> I think that means it's uninstallable
[17:34] <maco> mac: use a flash drive
[17:34] <boknoy> maco, he doesn't have a usb port
[17:34] <boknoy> or a nic
[17:34] <James_T_Kirk> boknoy: do you know how to repair an existing Ubuntu installation, WITH the LiveCD?
[17:34] <gpled> is xen like virutalbox?
[17:34] <JAMD456> How do you get Ubuntu to connect to an AOSS network?
[17:34] <gpled> and can you run xen on ubuntu?
[17:35] <gpled> AOSS?
[17:35] <grawity> gpled: 1) A little like that, yes. 2) Yes, it runs on Ubuntu.
[17:35] <James_T_Kirk> Halitech: you here, bro? help out...
[17:35] <boknoy> hmm... might be worth a shot: erase everything but /home, then fix it with the livecd by copyin
[17:35] <Gibby> Does anybody know if there is a chat for Perl?
[17:35] <gpled> grawity: is xen more stable then virualbox?
[17:35] <JAMD456> (AirStation One-Touch Secure System)
[17:35] <gpled> on ubuntu
[17:36] <grawity> gpled: Both are stable enough, but they are used for different purposes.
[17:36] <grawity> Gibby: #perl
[17:36] <sohrab> hi alll
[17:36] <boknoy> James_T_Kirk, but that's kinda like reinstalling anyway...
[17:36] <Halitech> James_T_Kirk, trying to come up with something but not much luck ...
[17:36] <James_T_Kirk> boknoy: does the LiveCD automatically repair an existing installation?
[17:36] <sohrab> i need help
[17:36] <Scunizi> gpled: virtualbox has been ultra stable for me for the last year
[17:36] <James_T_Kirk> Halitech: what do u have in mind?
[17:36] <boknoy> Like WIndows' recovery console/ recovery mode? I don't think so.
[17:36] <sohrab> whos know what i can instaal virtual box in command line
[17:36] <Scunizi> gpled: but I use the .deb for ubuntu from their site..
[17:36] <gpled> Scunizi: xp pro often has to go through 4 or so bluescreens before starting. not sure why
[17:37] <boknoy> sohrab, apt-get install virtualbox
[17:37] <bazhang> sohrab, sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose
[17:37] <ArasTa> guys..what's the best messaging soft ?
[17:37] <Halitech> James_T_Kirk, what about removing the deb file the message refers to and try again?
[17:37] <sohrab> boknoy with sudo or without ?
[17:37] <boknoy> with sudo
[17:37] <bazhang> sohrab, with sudo and its -ose
[17:37] <gpled> its to bad. only reason i run it, is so i can connect to exchange 2007
[17:37] <sohrab> how can i see the other version i mean cach command
[17:37] <Scunizi> gpled: no problems for me.. are you using the -ose version from the repos?  if so you might try the version direct from virtualbox
[17:37] <boknoy> virtualbox-ose is in virtualbox anyway... that's how I installed mine
[17:38] <James_T_Kirk> Halitech: hmmm....
[17:38] <ArasTa> guys..what's the best messaging soft ?
[17:38] <bazhang> !info virtualbox
[17:38] <James_T_Kirk> Halitech: that COULD work...
[17:38] <Scunizi> gpled: have you tried the exchange connector for evolution?  I havent but heard it's ok
[17:38] <James_T_Kirk> this is the last time, after this i am out
[17:38] <gpled> Scunizi: im using what ever synaptic gives out
[17:38] <thinkpadx61> i would like to install minimal ubuntu on a computer without cd-rom ... how can i install it using a usb pen?
[17:39] <bazhang> thinkpadx61, unetbootin
[17:39] <sohrab> tnx man
[17:39] <boknoy> bazhang, apt-get install virtualbox works fine for me... it install virtualbox-ose though
[17:39] <Scunizi> gpled: that's the -ose version.. and it doesn't have usb capability..
[17:39] <sohrab> fine for me too
[17:39] <bazhang> boknoy, what version of ubuntu
[17:39] <boknoy> jaunty
[17:39] <gpled> Scunizi: i gave up on evolution. had high hopes for DavMail. but it does not work for me
[17:39] <sohrab> it doesnt error but its has command when you want see other package i forgot that
[17:40] <bazhang> the package name is virtualbox-ose
[17:40] <sohrab> like sudo apt-cache :this not work in my machine
[17:40] <bazhang> sohrab, apt-cache search packagename
[17:40] <boknoy> apt said "Note, selecting virtualbox-ose instead of virtualbox" and installed -ose. IMO, i'd rathe not type an extra 4 characters
[17:40] <Scunizi> boknoy: 5 if you count the space
[17:40] <sohrab> with or without sudo i want to learn os
[17:40] <gpled> Scunizi: sorry if you already answered this, but the text is going by fast.  is their a ubuntu package at the virtualbox site?
[17:41] <bazhang> sohrab, with that one no sudo needed
[17:41] <Scunizi> gpled: yes.. actually they have a repo you can list in synaptic if you want..
[17:41] <boknoy> sudo is pretty much an ubuntu feature
[17:41] <llutz> boknoy: it isn't
[17:41] <sohrab> err is invalid operation virtual
[17:41] <gpled> Scunizi: thanks. i will look into it
[17:41] <bazhang> http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/ sohrab
[17:41] <boknoy> ...or bug depending on you're choice :)
[17:42] <Scunizi> gpled: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
[17:42] <donavan_> anyone know why cairo-dock is showing a black bar fo he background rather than being transparent?
[17:42] <llutz> boknoy: just the way sudo is used in *buntu is.... different
[17:42] <boknoy> llutz, okay then
[17:42] <zash> llutz: diffrent from what
[17:43] <boknoy> zash, different from distros who assume you are responsible enough
[17:43] <llutz> zash: different from all other distros (using no root account and base all admin-ops on sudo)
[17:43] <Eow> So... what do you all think? Will Windows 7 be a good hit..?
[17:43] <Sky_> hi, i created a usb ubuntu 9.10 usb disk from within the live cd, but i can't boot it, the menu works, but then nothing happens, after pushing F2 i see that its trying to open my cd device: /init: line1: can't open /dev/sr0: No medium found
[17:44] <bazhang> Eow, please discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here
[17:44] <boknoy> Eow, according to one of  their ads, Windows is fast and responsickive! :D
[17:44] <Eow> Sorry..
[17:44] <bazhang> Sky_, karmic in #ubuntu+1 please
[17:44] <Sky_> ok thx

[17:45] <Eow> thanks xD
[17:46] <shastry> hi, is it not possible to install grub2 to root partition instead of mbr?
[17:46] <sohrab> but now it doesnt work with apt-cache virtualboxe-ose
[17:46] <sohrab> what can i do
[17:46] <llutz> sohrab: read "man apt-cache"
[17:46] <boknoy> sohrab, I think you mean apt-cache show virtualbox-ose
[17:47] <llutz> it's "apt-cache search virtualbox"
[17:47] <boknoy> search is good too
[17:47] <llutz> sohrab: if you want to "learn os" you should start with reading
[17:48] <icehawk78> I'm customizing a machine to run my ubuntu server on as a media center. Would an Intel integrated card (X4500) be good enough, or should I upgrade to a dedicated card? If I should do that, does ATI or NVidia have better Linux support?
[17:48] <ziya> slm
[17:49] <Scunizi> icehawk78: right now.. nvidia..
[17:49] <boknoy> icehawk78, no idea with ATI, but nvidia seems to have good support as for the intel thing, I guess it depends. my netbook's gma doesn't have a lot of problem with most videos
[17:49] <celephais> Hi, i have a gigabit NIC with problems, how can i get the kernel moulde name so i can look if the driver is the problem?
[17:49] <sohrab> but now i dont have any time to read 170 page
[17:49] <boknoy> celephais, lshw -c networking look for "modules:"
[17:50] <sohrab> i now some thing
[17:50] <Scunizi> celephais: or sudo lshw <etc. etc.>
[17:50] <JAMD456> #Does anyone know how to get Ubuntu to connect to a AirStation One-Touch Secure System wireless network?
[17:50] <houn_> Sup #Ubuntu
[17:50] <boknoy> i meant network, not networking
[17:50] <sohrab> but this in the that group i dont knoe
[17:50] <sohrab> know
[17:50] <icehawk78> boknoy: Well, it's not a netbook, it's a desktop. So the processor/ram will be higher than that.
[17:51] <boknoy> I guess so, but I can't say anything about hd videos on intel hardware
[17:51] <shastry> so.. no one knows about grub2 on root partition (logical partition) ?
[17:51] <boknoy> shastry, ok let me try
[17:51] <speedhunt3r> Karmic ... samba shares, can't see windows PCs anymore on the network, and the windows PCs can't see my shares anymore, anyone encounter the same problem?
[17:52] <daevski> boknoy -- get a live disc of 9.04 or 9.10 and try it out without an install
[17:52] <boknoy> you want grub2 only on a partition, not on the mbr?
[17:52] <daevski> icehawk78 -- get a live disc of 9.04 or 9.10 and try it out without an install
[17:52] <shastry> boknoy: correct
[17:52] <daevski> boknoy -sry that was for icehawk lol
[17:52] <Nixot> !find libstdc++.so.5
[17:52] <Nixot> aahh
[17:52] <Nixot> Aha!
[17:52] <houn_> Question:  I'm a noob at audio in linux.  I just set up mpd on my desktop (Jaunty) and it works fine, but ever since, I've lost audio for Flash in Firefox.  Any ideas?  Not sure where to even start troubleshooting this...
[17:53] <boknoy> shastry, hmm.. what exactly for? do you want grub-legacy to chainload to grub2?
[17:53] <shastry> houn_: tell mpd to use alsa default driver
[17:53] <Nixot> Excellent! Thanks, Ubottu!
[17:53] <shastry> boknoy: yep
[17:54] <houn_> shastry: I believe I already did, let me check.
[17:54] <daevski> houn_: is it possible that your sound card isn't sharing your sound card (I.E. are you playing audio at the time you are testing flash on ff?)
[17:54] <boknoy> iunno why you would do that and I don't know how to do it either.... I don't have much experience with grub2 after accidentally deleteing /boot
[17:54] <Nixot> Err, question
[17:54] <Nixot> Ubuntu 8.04 fresh install... when I try to play Cube the sound is all crackly and the display flashes...
[17:54] <Nixot> Any ideas?
[17:54] <houn_> shastry: I did uncomment the Alsa section of the config for mpd, so it should be using alsa
[17:54] <shastry> boknoy: because i'm testing 9.10 and i dont want it to toich my existing gMBR
[17:55] <daevski> shastry: I'm using ALSA and my audio refuses to share, but this computer shares audio in windows. Any ideas?
[17:55] <houn_> daevski: If I stop mpd playback, I still get nothing from Flash.
[17:55] <boknoy> hmm... why not add 9.10 to your menu.lst?
[17:55] <shastry> houn_: sudo lsof /dev/snd/*
[17:55] <daevski> houn_: Just a thought... that's my problem right now :-p
[17:55] <Nixot> help??
[17:55] <boknoy> but if you install a new kernel in 9.10, it won't reflect in /boot
[17:55] <icehawk78> daevski: Can't, I'm configuring it before I buy it, online.
[17:55] <bubuntu> anybody knows how can I activate USB in sources.list?
[17:55] <Nixot> Anyone??
[17:56] <shastry> boknoy: well, thats what i'm doing right now, just wanted to check out grub2 too :)
[17:56] <houn_> shastry: Pulseaudio
[17:56] <celephais> i have two pc connected with a gigabit ethernet (cross cable), the transfer rate is 3MB/s, How can i find the problem?
[17:56] <daevski> icehawk78: ah, okay.
[17:56] <shastry> houn_: theres your ptoblem ;)
[17:56] <houn_> Ok then.  I've never even heard of pulse.
[17:56] <llutz> celephais: check nix-settings, ethtool
[17:56] <houn_> You take a few years off to run windows...
[17:56] <mickael> bonjour tlm
[17:56] <daevski> nixot: no idea, sorry.
[17:56] <shastry> houn_: ubuntu uses pulseaudio (sound server
[17:56] <boknoy> oh. so any diff between legacy and 2? I haven't really tested 2 yet
[17:56] <usser> celephais, what protocol are you using to transfer?
[17:56] <daevski> nixot: google it? ubuntu forums?
[17:56] <shastry> daevski: what do you mean sharing sound?
[17:57] <houn_> shastry: So, pulseaudio IS the problem, or I should set mpd to use Pulse?
[17:57] <celephais> usser, same results with ftp/scp/rsync/http
[17:57] <Jokeur> hum... it is not e french chanel ?
[17:57] <dooglus> I found a bug which is already in the launchpad tracker, but marked as 'fix committed' from 2 years ago.  should I raise a duplicate?  or change the status of the old bug?  or what?
[17:57] <Pici> !fr | Jokeur
[17:57] <llutz> celephais: check nic-settings, ethtool
[17:57] <maco> dooglus: #ubuntu-bugs
[17:57] <shastry> houn_: pulseaudio is anabomination, but its tied deep into ubuntu... you'll have to work around it
[17:57] <shastry> houn_: what is mpd's config?
[17:57] <dooglus> maco: ta
[17:57] <Jokeur> bye bye every body see u
[17:57] <daevski> shastry: I mean XMMS is going and nothing else plays audio (IE system sounds, youtube, etc.) -- and if youtube (firefox) has audio going, XMMS gives me an error to check that I have the right output selected and such
[17:58] <Pici> houn_: Just setup mpd to use pulse, see http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/PulseAudio for more information
[17:58] <boknoy> daevski, to put it simplty, xmms is hogging your sound card
[17:58] <maco> daevski: not using pulseaudio?
[17:58] <maco> daevski: youre gonna want to enable dmix for your audio device if you want alsalib to do mixing. otherwise whatever audio-using app opens first gets an exclusive lock
[17:59] <Nixot> can i have some help please???
[17:59] <celephais> llutz, what is nic-setting?
[17:59] <bazhang> Nixot, with what
[17:59] <daevski> boknoy: but I don't get xchat alert sound either if I'm watching a youtube video, etc
[17:59] <Nixot> well
[17:59] <llutz> celephais: settings of your network-interface-cards
[17:59] <Nixot> I just installed ubuntu 8.04
[17:59] <Nixot> and when I play my games, the sound is all crackly and the display flashes
[17:59] <daevski> maco: thanks the first solution I've heard. thank you, I will look into that.
[17:59] <boknoy> daevski, , well your apps are hogging the sound card. I believe this was a bug since hardy.
[18:00] <celephais> llutz, i mean, it is not in hardy (8.04.3 server) or jaunt (Desktop)
[18:00] <celephais> llutz, where can i find it?
[18:00] <Nixot> how should I go about fixing this?
[18:00] <boknoy> Nixot, low specs?
[18:00] <Nixot> Err
[18:00] <daevski> maco: Can you elaborate on how to enable dmix, or should I google it? :-p
[18:00] <Nixot> moderately low....
[18:00] <Nixot> 1.3 GHz AMD athlon 3000
[18:00] <boknoy> and ram?
[18:01] <Nixot> and a ATI radion HD 3850
[18:01] <maco> daevski: google it. i only know how to set pulseaudio to use dmix, not how to enable dmix globally
[18:01] <Nixot> and I think 1GB of RAM
[18:01] <daevski> maco: k, thanks :)
[18:01] <llutz> celephais: sudo apt-get install ethtool
[18:01] <boknoy> are you using Ati's drivers?
[18:01] <Nixot> Yes...
[18:01] <Nixot> of course, the ones that immediately appeared as "restricted drivers"
[18:02] <boknoy> hmm... odd everything acts this way?
[18:02] <detrate> anyone here familiar with the wubi release cycle?
[18:02] <Nixot> They worked perfectly, and they let me have wobbly windows :D
[18:02] <boknoy> just games then?
[18:02] <houn_> So, the mpd that ships with Jaunty does not have pulse support built in, I take it?
[18:02] <daevski> Anyone know off-hand how I can check ALSA version?
[18:02] <Nixot> Err, as of now :(
[18:02] <dreamy> can i ask a question about XP? i didnt got lucky at #windows
[18:03] <houn_> Wait, let me correct my typo, lol
[18:03] <houn_> Disregard.  PEBKAC
[18:03] <boknoy> daevski, dpkg -l alsa
[18:03] <houn_> mpd still works.
[18:03] <dreamy> i want to do something clever .. when installing xp
[18:03] <llutz> ! ot|dreamy:
[18:03] <Nixot> xD
[18:03] <Nixot> go ahead dreamy
[18:04] <dreamy> k ty
[18:04] <houn_> Still nothing in Flash.
[18:04] <boknoy> daevski, nvm, i forgot the package name for alsa
[18:04] <dreamy> Nixot: id like to installit from the hard disk or a virtual drive, i could use a netowork too if i could
[18:04] <Pici> dreamy, Nixot: Windows is not on-topic here. Please ask in ##windows
[18:04] <dreamy> k..
[18:04] <daevski> boknoy: well that's what I was looking for, thanks.
[18:05] <boknoy> daevski, np
[18:05] <Nixot> boknoy: so, what do you think may be the problem?
[18:05] <boknoy> honestly, I don't know... you're drivers seem to work well, the cpu looks lke it could handle it, you're not lacking ram either.
[18:06] <houn_> Bah.
[18:06] <houn_> Ok, evidently NOTHING has audio except for mpd
[18:06] <houn_> Even with mpd stopped
[18:06] <boknoy> houn_, to get audio back, kill mpd
[18:06] <houn_> boknoy: I stopped the daemon.
[18:07] <boknoy> what about the mpd client?
[18:07] <houn_> boknoy: Or is an actual kill needed?
[18:07] <boknoy> not stop as in stop audio playing, but stop as in the process ceases to exist.
[18:07] <houn_> boknoy: /etc/init.d/mpd stop
[18:07] <houn_> Yeah, I know what you meant. ;)
[18:07] <Nixot> OK boknoy....
[18:07] <Nixot> I'll have a look around... thanks anywa
[18:08] <Nixot> y
[18:08] <Nixot> bye
[18:08] <boknoy> houn_, haha maybe it still hasn't released the sound card

[18:09] <yotam> hi all. I have some file (songs files) that are in Hebrew. Ubuntu won't recognize the Hebrew writing and will write Gibrish instead. I'm pretty sure it's an encoding issue, how can I fix this?
[18:09] <houn_> boknoy: any way to force a release?
[18:09] <Gamefreak264> Could someone help me with my broken package that is preventing me from using most all aptitude commands?
[18:10] <houn_> Also, this is kinda lame.
[18:10] <Gamefreak264> apt-get -f install isn't helping, by the way
[18:10] <boknoy> houn_, sorry, I don't know why it still hasn't even done it after killing mpd
[18:11] <celephais> llutz, from ethtool it's look all right, the only difference is that on the first ( Hardy) Port is Twisted Pair, on the second(Jaunty) is MII, what is the difference?
[18:11] <mlm> ANYONE no a good software to capture and convert video/audio from video4linux???
[18:12] <daevski> maco: I already have all kinds of packages installed that claim to do what I'm trying to accomplish. I'm running 9.04, should this still be occuring? Seems unlikely that dmix would fix it.
[18:12] <hlfshell> I'm having trouble getting my logitech Quickcam communicate to work with ubuntu... anyone have any ideas?
[18:12] <boknoy> getting late... it's nice chatting with ya folks.
[18:13] <houn_> Awesome.  If I restart pulseaudio, it works again, until I turn mpd back on.
[18:13] <maco> daevski: i think if you jsut go up to step 5 http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin with the asoundrc, it should work

[18:17] <mattgyver> shipleythump: i didnt have any timeout issues but cant you install the guest package from the repos manually?
[18:17] <n8tuser> fanno -> why not backup first then shutdown?
[18:17] <mattgyver> mlm: maybe try pacpl it can convert most audio/video types.
[18:17] <shipleythump> mattgyver, no matter how I try to download it, it times out
[18:18] <mattgyver> shipleythump: so ubuntu is having the timeout issue?
[18:18] <fanno> n8tuser: eather would work but he would like it to happen when he press shutdown button if it can be (not reboot funtion)
[18:18] <shipleythump> mattgyver, yes, seems that way, but i'm not having trouble with anything else.. just that one file
[18:18] <Scunizi> shipleythump: you don't "download" it.. in the guest machine look in hte upper left corner at the menu item "Devices"..
[18:18] <mattgyver> shipleythump: I would venture to find the .deb elsewhere and install with dpkg
[18:18] <Scunizi> shipleythump: then at the bottom of that menu is install guest additions.  tag that..
[18:19] <houn_> HA!
[18:19] <houn_> Fixed.
[18:19] <n810debian> which version of ubuntu should i download to install on my N810 armel architecture computer?
[18:19] <n8tuser> fanno -> in nix world, its not a good idea to just press a button to shutdown,  lots of system settings needs to be synced before shutting down, buffers to be flushed
[18:19] <houn_> daevski: You were having pulse/mpd audio issues too, right?
[18:19] <shipleythump> Scunizi, i tried that first, and 3rd and about 20 different times after that
[18:19] <Scunizi> shipleythump: it mounts a "virtual cdrom" in your window instance.. you'll find it in "My Computer"
[18:19] <n810debian> !armel | n810debian
[18:19] <shipleythump> Scunizi, i know what it does.. but it won't download
[18:19] <daevski> houn_ yeah.... but I think I just fixed it...
[18:19] <mattgyver> Scunizi: are you sure you dont need it installed first to do so?
[18:20] <asfjio> n8tuser: i use sudo su and sudo su - the same result - $ not $
[18:20] <mlm> mattgyver:  I have a dazzle DVD recorder hooked to ubuntu capturing the video and audio from a vcr through VLC.  I used video4linux to get everything working.  Now I just am looking for a software that can capture and convert the video/audio to other formats like  .mov .avi etc...  Any ideas
[18:20] <asfjio> n8tuser: *not #
[18:20] <fanno> n8tuser: sorry i should have been more spesific, i ment "shutdown" from the meny's inside nix and "reboot"
[18:20] <Gamefreak264> Could someone help me with my broken package that is preventing me from using most all aptitude commands? Apt-get -f install isn't helping, by the way.
[18:20] <Scunizi> shipleythump: mattgyver you don't download anything.. you mount the virtual cdrom of guest extension and then right mouse click and choose autorun or some such
[18:20] <mattgyver> mlm, look into pacpl, its extemely powerful and easy to use
[18:20] <houn_> daevski: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mpd/+bug/192735
[18:20] <houn_> Post 15
[18:20] <Pyrophelia> can anybody recomend any apps that will completely sync all the drives into a RAID array?
[18:20] <n8tuser> asfjio -> using su - root  does not give you that?
[18:20] <shipleythump> Scunizi, but you have to have the .iso before you can mount it
[18:20] <daevski> maco, houn_, boknoy: it was just XMMS  hogging the sound by using OSS by default :( Sorry for all the rukus!
[18:20] <houn_> Now multiple apps can use the sound card.
[18:20] <fanno> n8tuser: thats why i was thinking maybe a script could be added to the "runlevel" folders and execure a script when that happens
[18:21] <Pyrophelia> Software raid array that is
[18:21] <Scunizi> shipleythump: no.. it's part of the normal vbox install.
[18:21] <houn_> daevski: Heh.  I used to love xmms back in the day.
[18:21] <shipleythump> Scunizi, well vbox isn't seeing it
[18:21] <daevski> houn_: what do you use now?
[18:21] <n8tuser> fanno -> sure one can add a script, i would do it in where the nic interface is shutdown..
[18:21] <mattgyver> Scunizi: I think it only comes if you have downloaded the guest additions package which is what is timing out for him
[18:21] <shipleythump> Scunizi, so it asks if it should download it. so I tell it yes, and it times out always at 22%
[18:21] <n810debian> which version of ubuntu should i download to install on my N810 armel architecture computer?
[18:21] <asfjio> n8tuser: no.
[18:21] <mlm> mattgyver:  that only does audio right?
[18:21] <fanno> n8tuser: also if i added a script with a "loop" to wait untill the backup is finished ?
[18:22] <daevski> houn_: I just got sondbird for my iPod and it plays audio pretty well. (still an alpha release of it, so it screwed up my iPod playlists though lol)
[18:22] <dementor> hy how can i arping all my 255 ips
[18:22] <mattgyver> mlm, yes it does only do audio
[18:22] <Scunizi> shipleythump: so when you go to Devices>Install Guest Additions.. then go to "My Computer" in Windows.. and look for the cdrom labeled Vbox Guest additions.. you don't see anything?
[18:22] <houn_> daevski: Right now I'm running mpd at home, stream to icecast, which I connect to with mpd locally.
[18:22] <houn_> :D
[18:22] <Scunizi> shipleythump: have you actually install xp yet into the virtual machine?
[18:22] <n8tuser> fanno yes, look at the script for making firefox load via tmpfs, the script they have backsup before doing things..
[18:22] <shipleythump> Scunizi, when i go to device>install guest additions, it tells me it can't find it, then it tries to download it. and times out
[18:22] <mattgyver> mlm, brainfart you need video and audio
[18:22] <daevski> houn_: sounds kewl, I'll look into it :-p
[18:22] <bazhang> n810debian, that is a tablet?
[18:23] <n810debian> bazhang: yes
[18:23] <Scunizi> shipleythump: have you actually installed xp in the virtual machine?
[18:23] <n8tuser> asfjio -> i dont recall if root uses .bashrc, perhaps its another, look in /etc/profile
[18:23] <mlm> mattgyver:  I'm trying to convert these VHS tapes im watching on VLS to avi, mov or something...  any ideas??
[18:23] <shipleythump> Scunizi, yes, i have installed xp
[18:23] <shipleythump> Scunizi, and it's working fine.. except that it's winblows
[18:23] <yasezan> Òóò Ðóññêèå åñòü?:)
[18:23] <matrixblue> anyone know which webcams work best with ubuntu?
[18:23] <n810debian> have to go, be back later
[18:23] <houn_> daevski: I use ncmpc (ncurses mpd client) to adjust my playlist remotely, so I basically just stream all my music to either work, or to my G1 phone when I'm out and about.
[18:23] <Scunizi> shipleythump: did you install the vbox version from the repos?
[18:23] <bazhang> n810debian, the search terms ubuntu n810 gives links to some from maemo.org
[18:24] <shipleythump> yes
[18:24] <Scunizi> shipleythump: hang on..
[18:24] <bazhang> !ru | yasezan
[18:24] <shipleythump> Scunizi, yes. it's not the latest edition of vbox, but it's from the repo
[18:24] <shipleythump> Scunizi, it's version 2.1.4
[18:25] <noren> hello all
[18:25] <usser> fanno, i think you can add your backup script to /etc/rc6.d
[18:25] <usser> fanno, so it will execute every time the computer is rebooted/shutdown
[18:25] <daevski> houn_: Very kewl. I also have a G1
[18:25] <noren> can anyone here help me set up my mpd so that i cud listen to music on another laptop, i have got PANU setup (bluetooth-connection)
[18:25] <fanno> usser: is there way to detect if the it is shutdown OR reboot ?
[18:26] <Scunizi> shipleythump: k.. in Ubuntu go to System>Admin>Synaptic package manager and search for Virtualbox.. you'll see the guest additions in there.. install those and then do what I mentioned previously.. Vbox's current release is vs 3.x.x and is available for Ubuntu from their site.. it also supports usb and there's no seperate download for the guest additions
[18:26] <amsecret> salam
[18:26] <amsecret> :D
[18:26] <shipleythump> Scunizi, sweet thank you
[18:26] <usser> fanno, /etc/rc0.d is runlevel for halt
[18:27] <noren> !mpd
[18:27] <usser> fanno, http://www.debianadmin.com/debian-and-ubuntu-linux-run-levels.html
[18:27] <shipleythump> Scunizi, why is 2.1.4 the latest that shows up in my synaptic
[18:28] <Scunizi> shipleythump: Ubuntu doesn't upgrade each program to the latest as it comes out.. it might cause breakage and they simply don't have time to do that for the several releases they support at one time..
[18:28] <mazda01> having problems installing a new kernel image, it says it can't find /etc/modprobe.d/oss-compat.conf, when I look at that file, i see a broken link to /lib/oss-compat/linux. does anyone else have that file located in /lib/oss-compat/linux?
[18:28] <Fablinix> are there any safe bets on what bluetooth dongle to buy? on google, I found a lot of threads with users having problems with bluetooth in ubuntu (and other distros)
[18:28] <asfjio> n8tuser: there is some kind of case (in /etc/profile) if [ "`id -u`" -eq 0 ]; then PS1='# ' else PS1='$ ' fi . i can't understand why this is not working. anyway i give up. thanks for the answers indeed.
[18:28] <shipleythump> Scunizi, yeah, but we're talking about 2.1.4 all the way to 3.3 that's a pretty big leap for something like this
[18:29] <leaf-sheep> !info virtualbox-ose karmic | shipleythump
[18:29] <noren> Fablinix: i am using my bluethooth dongle without problem
[18:29] <Fablinix> noren: what's the brand of it?
[18:29] <leaf-sheep> shipleythump: We're talking about thousand of the packages -- Not all of them get updated regularly.
[18:29] <Scunizi> shipleythump: then uninstall the -ose (opensourced version) and use the propriatory version off their site.. it's propriatory because of some of the code they use.. but it work great
[18:30] <usser> Fablinix, same here, pretty much any adapter should work, i just bought one for $2 from dealextreme.com
[18:30] <llutz> Fablinix: i bought 4-5 of those cheap noname dongles, all working fine
[18:30] <noren> Fablinix: it some local brand called TransTech
[18:30] <shipleythump> leaf-sheep, got it.. I'm not use to ubuntu. I'm a gentoo user myself. just want to try out ubuntu cause someone told me it was better
[18:31] <Fablinix> usser: ah ok then, I guess the support is much better today than it was a year ago (still I felt I had to check with you guys, just to be sure)! I'll just buy some random dongle then, thanks
[18:31] <shipleythump> Scunizi, ummm vbox from the ubuntu website just timed out....
[18:31] <shipleythump> :(
[18:32] <Scunizi> shipleythump: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
[18:32] <noren> anyone here use mpd to listen to music
[18:33] <forceflow> anybody here familiar with Android SDK on ubuntu? Is there any way to give it a performance boost?
[18:33] <docmax_> i'm searching for a sleek window border style for ubuntu, any ideas?
[18:33] <Scunizi> shipleythump: install dkms before installing vbox
[18:33] <Slart> noren: I tried it once.. but we didn't really hit it off.. then Quod Libet came along...
[18:33] <docmax_> currently i have w2k and redmont
[18:33] <Slart> docmax_: I've got a mac inspired one I use.. let me find a link for you
[18:34] <noren> Slart: quod libet ?? what is that
[18:34] <mazda01> having problems installing a new kernel image, it says it can't find /etc/modprobe.d/oss-compat.conf, when I look at that file, i see a broken link to /lib/oss-compat/linux. does anyone else have that file located in /lib/oss-compat/linux?
[18:34] <shipleythump> Scunizi, what's dkms?
[18:34] <docmax_> hmm... no mac styles please... something real simple and minimalistic
[18:34] <Berzerker-> docmax_, dust
[18:35] <Berzerker-> docmax_, one of the defaults in karmic
[18:35] <Scunizi> shipleythump: it will help recomplie the kernel module changes needed for vbox if you get a kernel upgrade.. doesn't always work so on a kernel upgrade vbox will complain and tell you how to fix itself.
[18:35] <Pici> docmax_: Best to look for yourself on http://gnome-look.org   we don't know what styles you like.
[18:35] <leaf-sheep> docmax_: High Contrast Large Print Inverse!
[18:35] <shipleythump> Scunizi, okay, thanks
[18:36] <shipleythump> Scunizi, ahh wonderful it's already installed... dkms that is
[18:36] <Scunizi> good
[18:36] <Slart> docmax_: have a look at this.. it's called "perfect gnome".. kind of light and out-of-the-way http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=39520
[18:37] <^mNotIntelligent> bye all
[18:37] <fanno> thanks for the input all!
[18:37] <shipleythump> Scunizi, sweet, i got 3.0.8 downloaded, and it's trying to install now. we'll see how it goes. I hope this works
[18:38] <Scunizi> shipleythump: no worries
[18:38] <usser> shipleythump, hehe coming from gentoo huh, :) speed of installation may surprise you
[18:38] <nxnn14> hi i am having trouble with my wired internet connect and was wondering if someone could help me
[18:38] <shipleythump> usser, that's cause it doesn't install from source, which I actually like about gentoo, and I can't search and install things from commandline the same way
[18:39] <the_dark_warrio> I've installed "Chinese Simplified" language in Administration > Languages, but it doesn't seems to install the chinese input method
[18:39] <the_dark_warrio> How do I start it?
[18:39] <mazda01> can someone please look in /lib/oss-compat/linux and tell me if there is a file that is symlinked to /etc/modprobe.d/oss-compat.conf? i am getting a failure to install a new kernel image. here's a pic   http://img259.imageshack.us/my.php?image=linuximage.png][IMG]http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/7425/linuximage.png

[18:48] <Scunizi> shipleythump: getting guest additions installed in a linux guest is a little more difficult
[18:49] <yotam> mac__ simply give me a pointer, I'll do it myself. I tried googling something like "convert filename linux" with no help

[18:50] <mac__> ok so i' ll give you a good cli app
[18:50] <Scunizi> shipleythump: I'm just glad to help.. enjoy

[18:56] <jrwcox> Anyone know why my printer says recieving data, but won't print?
[18:57] <studentz> I'm in hardy after last update of the kernel my wifi it's slow(1mbps) I Need some helppppp
[18:58] <jrwcox> Can anyone help me with a printer problem?
[18:59] <Slart> jrwcox: you really want help? you could start by including some kind of information about your system.. the first obvious two items would be... what kind of os and what kind of printer
[19:00] <jrwcox> Ty...I'm running wubi and I have a brother MFC-240C printer. It says that it is receiving data, but then nothing prints.
[19:00] <kins> Guest99057: specify if u would  like to  proceedd with ubuntu or windows
[19:00] <jrwcox> Ubuntu
[19:00] <mac__> yotam:i couldn' t find out anything
[19:01] <mac__> i'll retry later
[19:01] <mac__> now i'm gonna have a shower
[19:01] <jrwcox> If I can get my printer to work, I want to switch to Ubuntu all together
[19:01] <studentz> jrwcox giveme a second
[19:02] <jrwcox>  studentz: TY
[19:02] <pfifo> I made my mom hrow away her lexmark, and purchase a HP
[19:02] <llutz> jrwcox: doesn't brother has it's own linux-drivers (cups-wrapper)?
[19:02] <yotam> mac__ that's OK. thank you. I think  easytag will help but I'm not sure
[19:02] <maco> pfifo: hp++
[19:02] <trism> yotam: if you're looking to edit id3, there are several decent gui editors (I use kid3-qt and picard [good for automatic tagging])
[19:02] <ceafu> Hi everyone. Wondering if anyone has been able to get sound coming out of a mac mini (2009) using 9.04 or 9.10. I have tried several things to no avail.
[19:03] <jrwcox> llutz: yes, I installed all of them, printer is recongnized in the system, but just won't print.....
[19:03] <llutz> pfifo: just buy anything using postscript/pdf and you're on the safe side
[19:03] <username1> hi all
[19:03] <mac__> yotam:i found a php class and i compiled it as a binary, but it' s not working well :-(
[19:03] <EagleSn> hi
[19:03] <marek_> Does anyone know how to underclock mobil athlon xp 2400+ if minimal freq is detected wrong? broken pst table maybe. min is detected as 1200; should be 790MHz.
[19:03] <mac__> C U Later Guys!
[19:03] <EagleSn> where can I download Windows version of usb-creator?
[19:04] <pfifo> HP seems to have the best support for linux printing (from what ive heard) I plugged it n Via USB and it just worked. works on my netbook too
[19:04] <Slart> EagleSn: are you sure there is one?
[19:04] <studentz> jrwcox look at this link http://www.openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Brother-MFC-240C
[19:05] <Scunizi> jrwcox: you installed the brother driver from terminal .. right?
[19:05] <EagleSn> yes, Slart i have readed that there is in the Ubuntu CD, a .exe
[19:05] <jrwcox> i typed in what the directions said in the terminal, didn't work that way, so I used install from file
[19:05] <username1> what it is error "rc-default main peocess (2899) terminated with status 127"
[19:06] <Slart> EagleSn: well.. I couldn't find anything useful on their site.. why not download an ubuntu live cd and get it from that one
[19:07] <Scunizi> jrwcox: I didn't know they now have an "install from file" option.. I have a MFC7440N networked at home and it work fine for printing.. but that's just about it.. scanning works only when using xsane as root.. not recommended.
[19:07] <kins> just go to printer configuration and try disbling the printer and enabling it again
[19:07] <EagleSn> Slart: i will have to download all CD
[19:07] <nxnn14> no one has any ideas on this Unsupported PM Caps regs version(7) thing and why my network card would only work after a reboot?
[19:07] <EagleSn> and see if is true that i readed
[19:07] <lukasz> kjl
[19:08] <jrwcox> wel, I clicked on the install lpr and cu (forget what it is called, and it automaticaaly installed
[19:08] <jrwcox> done that
[19:08] <Slart> EagleSn: hmm.. hang on.. let me check if I've got the iso somewhere..
[19:08] <Scunizi> jrwcox: perhaps you're referring to the ubuntu auto installer.. not the brother installer.
[19:09] <jrwcox> okay, maybe
[19:09] <jrwcox> sorry, completly new at ubuntu
[19:09] <jrwcox> so what do I do then?
[19:09] <Scunizi> jrwcox: the brother drivers are not easy to install.. you have to bounce around on their site for all the ubuntu instructions..
[19:10] <EagleSn> Slart: i have got the Kubuntu CD and it isn't there, but it may be in the Ubuntu CD
[19:10] <jrwcox> okay
[19:10] <Scunizi> jrwcox: do just the printing portion first.. then the rest
[19:10] <FirstSgt> What do i do if my numberpad wont type and will just move my cursor?
[19:10] <iceroot> EagleSn: what is not on the kubuntu-cd?
[19:10] <jrwcox> do I need to uninstall the printer again?
[19:10] <Slart> FirstSgt: check the numlock key
[19:10] <Scunizi> jrwcox: no not really
[19:10] <FirstSgt> Slart: its on
[19:10] <x-Na> I just upgraded my server from Jaunty to Karmic RC. Seems that everything else went fine, but my mysql doesn't want to start. /etc/init.d/mysql start just says "fail" and nothing is written to logs.
[19:11] <EagleSn> iceroot: Windows version of usb-creator
[19:11] <jrwcox> so, I should just be able to type in the terminal?
[19:11] <FirstSgt> i've even tried scroll lock :)
[19:11] <iceroot> EagleSn: hm that may be a gnome-tool, yes
[19:11] <nxnn14> can someone even explain this type of thing where my network card would only work after a reboot and it has the error  Unsupported PM Caps regs version(7)?
[19:11] <FirstSgt> but the number pad just moves the cursor in gnome
[19:11] <llutz> x-Na: karmic #ubuntu+1
[19:11] <Scunizi> FirstSgt: there is a bug about that.. check in System>Preferences>Assistive Services.. and see if the numpad is tagged as the pointing device
[19:11] <iceroot> EagleSn: you can also use apt-get to install software which is not on the cd
[19:12] <x-Na> llutz, k
[19:12] <EagleSn> iceroot: Windows version of it
[19:12] <Slart> FirstSgt: hmm.. then I don't really know.. I could have bet serious money on the numlock key being the solution.. not sure what else could have that effect
[19:12] <iceroot> EagleSn: hm, ok never heard of it
[19:12] <Scunizi> Slart FirstSgt see bug #3711282
[19:12] <ceafu> Any Mac Mini (2009 Nvidia) users?
[19:13] <FirstSgt> Scunizi: Wow, thanks
[19:13] <FirstSgt> Scunizi: I wonder how that got turned on :P
[19:13] <iceroot> !anyone | ceafu
[19:13] <FirstSgt> Slart: thanks for trying :)
[19:13] <Slart> EagleSn: nope.. no ubuntu isos laying around.. I was going to try the new karmic rc though and that download will be finished in 30 minutes or so.. then I could check
[19:13] <Scunizi> FirstSgt: happened on my machine as well.. drove me nuts.. there is a key combination to switch it but I forgot what it is.
[19:13] <EagleSn> well Slart, thanks
[19:13] <FirstSgt> lol..
[19:13] <FirstSgt> what a crazy thing to auto-hotkey
[19:13] <nxnn14> can someone even explain this type of thing where my network card would only work after a reboot and it has the error  Unsupported PM Caps regs version(7)?
[19:13] <ubuntistas> is the select best server from sources the best solution for me?
[19:14] <Slart> FirstSgt: you're welcome.. can I at least get a prize from the lowest shelf? ;)
[19:14] <Scunizi> FirstSgt: seems to happen to some logitec and microsoft keyboards
[19:14] <FirstSgt> im thinking "im a developer, this is messed up if im having issues with the easiest and best linux out there"
[19:14] <vishal> Hi all, I require some help on VPN connectivity
[19:14] <iceroot> !ask | vishal
[19:14]  * FirstSgt gives Slart a 4th shelf prize... and its a pandabear
[19:14] <spuitenpoepen> good evening
[19:14] <Scunizi> FirstSgt: this is not a universal issue.. it doesn't happen to everyone.. just some hardware combinations..
[19:15] <FirstSgt> Scunizi: using wireless microsoft comfort keyboard. :)
[19:15] <spuitenpoepen> i struggle with a bad sinus infection....any suggested remedies would be appreciated...thanks!
[19:15] <ceafu> ok. I need to get sound working on mac mini. I have tried several snd-hda-intel model=xxx options and tried updating alsa drivers. I have checked alsamixer and nothing is muted. Who knows how to do this and can save my day?
[19:15] <nxnn14> i guess this is a unique issue. I have filed a bug report so maybe something will come of it

[19:28] <joshritger> I am trying to figure out a way to have an app open in a specific workspace. I have found writeups on how to use compiz config manager to set it, and also devilspie. I have tried both of these and cannot get it to work. For some reason I think both of my workspaces are labeled as workspace 1. Any help is appreciated, oh and this is using ubuntu hardy
[19:28] <zak_> i have bought a SAGEM wifi usb key anyone can help me please to configure it ?
[19:28] <trey2> my kernel freezes on boot unless i press a button
[19:28] <dskjr> i don't think it's a dns problem you're having, but i still wouldnt that out
[19:28] <dskjr> rule*
[19:29] <Slart> joshritger: I think workspaces in compiz are different from workspaces in metacity (regular non-accelerated gnome)
[19:29] <studentz> jrwcox soory here is the right link http://www.brother.com/cgi-bin/agreement/agreement.cgi?dlfile=http://www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/mfc240ccupswrapper-1.0.1-1.i386.deb&lang=English_gpl

[19:30] <ectropy> I had an unclean shutdown and am now getting "error: invalid environment block" on bootup, _before_ I can "e" into grub. I'm currently booted into my liveusb and I need help mounting my HD so I can edit /etc/default/grub.
[19:30] <joshritger> Slart: I use compiz for desktop effects, but not the windows manager, I am still using metacity
[19:30] <jrwcox> studentz: i saved it, but when I clicked on it, it installs, but then dosen't print, it's what I used earlier
[19:31] <dude1> I used super grub in a similar situation
[19:31] <Slart> joshritger: hmm... tried this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=844385
[19:31] <trey2> its only happening in <IP_ADDRESS>-gen

[19:33] <shavinder> I have created main user *shavin* when installing a server. Now i wish to move my /home to another partition. once i have mounted the separate partition on /home using fstab entry, how do i re create the user directory /home/shavin over there on the new partition? Should I just use mkdir to recreate /home/shavin? or is there anything else required?
[19:33] <maco> micro: docky?
[19:34] <Slart> joshritger: hmm.. I tried looking at wmctrl.. it just reports me having one desktop (I've got compiz setup to use 6 desktops).. seems like compiz has its own desktop thing going on.. let me see if I can make something work with the compiz config method
[19:34] <Pirate_Hunter> maco: I feel so ashamed for asking now :s
[19:34] <studentz> jrwcox try system administration printing new
[19:34] <maco> shavinder: why not "mv" it?
[19:34] <maco> Pirate_Hunter: so you can keep your data
[19:34] <joshritger> Slart: thanks
[19:34] <maco> shavinder: so you can keep your data
[19:34] <shavinder> maco: do you mean move the current /home to new partition first and then mount it?
[19:34] <maco> Pirate_Hunter: confusion!
[19:34] <micro> maco, yes thank you
[19:34] <shavinder> maco: well since its a new install there is no data yet
[19:35] <maco> shavinder: mount the new one at like /mnt/home, mv everything, then remount it to....oh ok then sure, you can just mkdir it
[19:35] <maco> shavinder: make sure you set the right owner on the directories
[19:35] <jrwcox> studentz: can't find drivers
[19:35] <Pirate_Hunter> maco: no not confused it is just that I forgot I can play music through it :p weird I know
[19:35] <joshritger> Slart: do you know if the first workspace is 0 or 1
[19:35] <shavinder> maco: if i move it using mv will the permissions remain intact?
[19:36] <jrwcox> studentz:there is no foomatic or ppd file
[19:36] <maco> Pirate_Hunter: no i got confused because you talked while i was answering shavinder so then i directed my answer for shavinder to you
[19:36] <Slart> joshritger: according to wmctrl I've only got one named "0"
[19:36] <maco> shavinder: think so, yeah
[19:36] <maco> shavinder: you can always check with ls -l. itd only be the top level directory that might change
[19:36] <studentz> give me another second
[19:36] <Pirate_Hunter> maco: ahhhh nvm still managed to kill two birds with one stone
[19:36] <joshritger> Slart: I figured it out, in compiz the count starts at 0, not 1, so I was trying to place the window on a workspace I didnt have when trying to place it on 2
[19:36] <trey2> theres 1528 people on here no one going anwser me
[19:37] <Slart> joshritger: ok.. the compiz config plugin "Place windows" worked for me.. I used the "Windows with fixed viewport" option
[19:37] <Slart> joshritger: ahh.. that would explain it
[19:37] <maco> trey2: try another kernel? file a bug?
[19:37] <Jordan_U_> !patience | trey2
[19:37] <maco> trey2: not much we can help with
[19:37] <trey2> how do i back thkernel
[19:38] <nascentmind> shavinder, maco , shouldn't he change his home dir in /etc/passwd?
[19:38] <trey2> the
[19:38] <joshritger> Slart: yeah, I was confused since like you said it kept coming up as one desktop with devilspie and through compiz it didn't come up as workspace 2 either
[19:38] <llutz> nascentmind: No
[19:38] <maco> nascentmind: no he's mounting the new partition at /home just like before
[19:38] <studentz> jrwcox what  kind of connector do you have usb ?  rj415? LPT?
[19:38] <brand0con> I'm simulating disk failure on a raid 1 hardware array and struggling to bring the system back up on a single disk (no worries, no important data).  boot stops while looking for /dev/mapper/lsi... which is obviously the mapped array.  how can this value be changed to point it to a different dev?
[19:38] <joshritger> Slart: I didn't know that compiz treated the workspaces different either
[19:38] <trey2> theres a bug all ready filed
[19:39] <shavinder> maco: would this be correct ? FIRST mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/home SECOND  sudo mv /home /mnt/home THIRDLY IN FSTAB  /dev/sda3 /home ext3 nodev,nosuid 02
[19:39] <Slart> trey2: noone likes interrogating people for information.. I know I hesitate when someone asks vague questions.. such as "my computer won't print" or "my cd doesn't work"..
[19:39] <trey2> for like 3 mounths now
[19:39] <nascentmind> maco, ah ok
[19:39] <llutz> shavinder: you don't want to mv /home, just the dirs below
[19:39] <jbear> 9.10 doesn't decrypt files.. anyone know anything about this
[19:39] <maco> shavinder: PERFECT
[19:40] <Jordan_U_> jbear: #ubuntu+1 for karmic

[19:40] <shavinder> maco : okay thanks. i am obliged
[19:41] <Slart> joshritger: I hope they will someone merge the two concepts together at some time in the future.. there are other issues as well.. you can't name desktops in compiz for example.. but you can in the regular desktop
[19:41] <maco> trey2: file a bug. did this just start happening with -14 or did it happen before? put the answer to that question in the bug
[19:41] <joshritger> Slart: thanks for the help

[19:47] <ceafu> not many mac minis in here.
[19:48] <Slart> D3RGPS31: not really sure how this works these days.. but on earlier versions of ubuntu you could just insert the cd and you'd get a popup asking if you wanted to use it to update from
[19:48] <llutz> jrwcox: use "sudo dpkg ...:"
[19:48] <Slart> jrwcox: put a sudo in front of that

[19:51] <perlsyntax> ihope it does have a update for that.
[19:51] <genii> daevski: Might be swap partition
[19:51] <pronoy> perlsyntax i think you should ask that in #ubuntu+1
[19:51] <Slart> daevski: things are mounted automatically even if they aren't mentioned in the fstab..
[19:52] <llutz> daevski: "sudo fdisk -l" tells you what it is (if there is one)
[19:52] <Slart> daevski: well.. not all partitions.. only the ones where it's sensible to mount it.. swap is one of those that aren't sensible to mount
[19:52] <daevski> llutz: fdisk -l shows me like 3 partitions of like 7 that I have across drives... I'm not sure why :-\
[19:53] <vishal> dskjr : only by IP

[19:54] <rphillips> where should I look for documentation on how grub gets setup in Ubuntu 9.10? I need to change the devies to /dev/mdX devices for a raid setup
[19:54] <Slart> rphillips: #ubuntu+1 for karmic help
[19:54] <rphillips> thanks
[19:54] <t_> anyone
[19:55] <KittyKis> gaah, really annoying problem going on here with xchat cutting off some text. help? (screenshot: http://bit.ly/18E8CB )
[19:56] <guntbert> KittyKis: there is #xchat too...
[19:56] <KittyKis> oh, right
[19:56] <BlouBlou> t_: what's that?
[19:56] <Slart> KittyKis: hmm.. it's the same if you change the font?
[19:56] <t_> i cant kill force quit or end an application
[19:56] <KittyKis> Slart: yeah, it's the same over quite a few fonts, only one that doesn't do it that i've tried is tengwar telcontar
[19:56] <t_> and it isn't allowing me to reopen the application
[19:57] <BlouBlou> t_: type this in console: killall PROGRAMM
[19:57] <Scunizi> KittyKis: it might just be the theme you're using.
[19:57] <BlouBlou> where programm is for example pidgin, or irssi
[19:57] <t_> do i type the program name
[19:57] <BlouBlou> yes
[19:57] <t_> or just program
[19:57] <t_> oh ok
[19:57] <Slart> KittyKis: hmm.. I would check if the theme might be messing things up.. it might be a bug in xchat too
[19:57] <BlouBlou> t_: use top for see process
[19:58] <studentz> jrwcox  terminal type "sudo aa-complain cupsd"
[19:58] <BlouBlou> t_: in terminal use "top", then when you saw process kill it with "killall programm"
[19:58] <Scunizi> KittyKis: is it xchat or xchat-gnome?
[19:58] <studentz> jrwcox next terminal sudo mkdir /usr/share/cups/model
[19:58] <studentz> jrwcox next reinstall the driver
[19:59] <BlouBlou> t_: does it works?
[19:59] <t_> bl, i dont see a pid for bitpim
[19:59] <dskjr> ok vishal
[19:59] <Scunizi> t_: use TAB to auto complete nicks
[19:59] <dskjr> sorry, was working on something
[20:00] <Scunizi> KittyKis: ??.. you there?
[20:00] <t_> ya, i cant see its pid
[20:00] <kandinski> how do I reset the password of the gnome keychain?
[20:01] <BlouBlou> t_: System > administration > System monitor (my ubuntu is in spanish, maybe it's different), then go to process, and kill programm
[20:01] <KittyKis> yeah, sorry about that
[20:01] <thune3> Many release candidates were released as final without changes. Is this expected with 9.10?
[20:01] <Scunizi> KittyKis: did you install xchat or xchat-gnome?
[20:01] <t_> I did this and it says the program is "zombie" status
[20:01] <t_> and it wont kill it
[20:01] <BlouBlou> t_: and please, use "BlouBlou:" when you speak to me, becasue it's difficult to see you with 1xxx people :)
[20:01] <maco> thune3: thatd be the point of a RC, yeah...
[20:01] <maco> thune3: unless someone finds a release critical bug in the next 6 days
[20:02] <cedric__> >join #bioinfobdx
[20:02] <Slart> t_: not a lot you can do about zombies except perhaps kill the parent or reboot.. they shouldn't really be a problem on the other side
[20:02] <Scunizi> t_: BlouBlou use TAB for auto complete of nicks...
[20:02] <thune3> marco: so only showstoppers get fixed now
[20:02] <BlouBlou> Scunizi: I always use it
[20:02] <maco> thune3: yep. thats what release candidate means
[20:02] <t_> ok thanks guys
[20:02] <ex0duz> after a reboot ubuntu boots up to where the login screen is and then it's a corrupted pattern all over the screen and the system becomes unresponsive
[20:02] <ex0duz> any ideas?
[20:02] <Scunizi> BlouBlou: I can tell.. just reitterating for t_ since I mentioned it to him already to no effect
[20:03] <BlouBlou> Scunizi: ah okay :)
[20:03] <KittyKis> Scunizi: xchat
[20:03] <Scunizi> ex0duz: can you CTRL+ALT+F2 and get to a tty?
[20:03] <MoTec> Mmm.. IRSSI :)
[20:04] <Scunizi> KittyKis: k.. if you still have problems.. look at using irssi and/or irssi w/ screen..
[20:04] <KittyKis> all right
[20:04] <MoTec> irssi w/screen is awesome
[20:04] <Scunizi> ooohh.. yeaaa
[20:04] <KittyKis> i've been meaning to switch to irssi for a while, just kinda been putting it off
[20:05] <Scunizi> KittyKis: no reason to.. you can have both installed.. irssi just "works" well.. a little different but you get use to it
[20:05] <KittyKis> yeah
[20:05] <thune3> maco: is there anywhere to see queued showstoppers for 9.10rc?
[20:05] <KittyKis> i used it on windows a loooong time ago
[20:05] <MoTec> i stay logged on to irc and can disconnect the session.. pick it back up at work, or in my iphone even, hehe.
[20:05] <Slart> !bug
[20:05] <Scunizi> KittyKis: irssi? ..
[20:05] <KittyKis> yeah
[20:06] <maco> bugs mile-stoned to Karmic that are critical importance
[20:06] <maco> bah
[20:06] <crohakon> How do I do the neat 3d cube thing with the desktop?
[20:06] <maco> thune3:  other than the insidde of the release manager's brain? you can look on launchpad for bugs mile-stoned to Karmic that are critical importance
[20:06] <Slart> !ccsm | crohakon
[20:06] <daevski> I need fdisk help: I just went in terminal: fdisk /dev/sda1 -- then I used 'd' for parts(1-4) which doesn't makes sense to me, cause it's one partition, not a while disk. I used 'p' to check it, and then 'w' to write it. It said after reboot it would be done. I rebooted and my partition is still mounted in fstab and all files are there, but fdisk now says 'unable to open /dev/sda1'
[20:07] <Slart> crohakon: you need 4 desktops horizontally and the cube switcher activated
[20:07] <straterra> M4K4V3l1: No need to insult Slackware people for refusing to help you compile something on Ubuntu.
[20:07] <J_P> hi all
[20:07] <Scunizi> KittyKis: nice.. didn't know they had one for windows.. I'll check it out.
[20:07] <MoTec> daevski: use fdisk /dev/sda
[20:08] <daevski> motec: okay thanks.
[20:08] <daevski> motec: unable to open /dev/sda
[20:08] <J_P> anyone has sucess with a USB to video composite, via v4l, the lsusb show this: "Bus 001 Device 006: ID 05e1:0408 Syntek Semiconductor Co., Ltd"
[20:09] <daevski> motec: sda1 is my old windows install. I want the HD space for other stuff :-\
[20:10] <ShackJack> Flash plugin question. The Adobe Flash performance is pretty poor (playing flash games, etc... on Facebook). Does anyone know if either of the open-source offerings have better performace (like, a *lot* better), or does Flash 10.1 have hope of better performance (what with being optimized for mobile platforms, etc...)
[20:10] <MoTec> daevski: you use fdisk on a disk, not a partition.
[20:10] <MoTec> not sure what you managed to do, honestly..
[20:11] <t_> I set my phone in "file transfer mode" but I still cant find my memory card
[20:11] <t_> shouldnt it be under media?
[20:11] <daevski> motec: Well I've made a mistake then. fdisk won't open sda.
[20:11] <BlouBlou> t_: via bluetooth or usb?
[20:11] <t_> bloublou usb
[20:11] <btthalion> ShackJack: I think the biggest thing that affects flash perf right now is video drivers. I hear the newest intel drivers in Karmic result in watchable full screen flash videos... But, AFAIK, from a compatibility standpoint and a performance standpoint, official flash 10 is the best you'll get...
[20:11] <Scunizi> daevski: are you trying to wipe sda?
[20:12] <daevski> Scunizi: no just sda1. it's my own windwos partition that I now need for other things
[20:12] <daevski> Scunizi: sda is currently holding ubuntu and some audio for me. It's in 3 partitions I believe, one is old windows install.
[20:12] <ShackJack> btthalion: O.K. There's this one FB game, Cafe World, and it pegs the processor of a few year old PENTIUM M 740... and chugs quite a bit.. Hopefully 10.1 will improve things...
[20:13] <Scunizi> daevski: have you tried gparted? after install it comes up as Partition Manager in System>Admin.. that will format sda1 for you after unmounting it.
[20:13] <thune3> maco: thx
[20:13] <Whitor> How can I search a volume for a file containing characters "foo" ? Case insensitive ?
[20:13] <daevski> Scunizi: Thats the info I needed. Thank you :)
[20:13] <Scunizi> daevski: :) glad to help
[20:13] <Slart> Whitor: grep -r -i foo *  might work
[20:14] <Whitor> ls -r | grep ... ?
[20:14] <Slart> Whitor: be prepared to wait a while unless it's a very small volume
[20:14] <Gaming4JC> Hey all, I'm thinking of upgrading to Ubuntu 9.10 (when it comes out in 6days). Is there any way that I can upgrade from CD/DVD? Since I do not have access to highspeed internet... ? :)
[20:14] <Slart> Whitor: that would just search the filenames
[20:14] <Whitor> yeah ... looking for a file...
[20:14] <Scunizi> Gaming4JC: you use to be able to do that from the alternate install cd.. not sure about the live cd.
[20:14] <Whitor> I meant filename, sorry
[20:14] <Slart> Whitor: if that's what you want I would recommend "find" instead
[20:14] <Jordan_U_> !upgrade | Gaming4JC
[20:15] <J_P> anyone?
[20:15] <Slart> Whitor: something like find /media/sda2/ -iname 'foo'
[20:15] <t_> how do i send a file in ubuntu to my phone via bluetooth
[20:15] <Scunizi> Whitor: you might also "sudo updatedb" then "locate <file>
[20:15] <Whitor> will find work on a newly attached volume ? or does it need to be cataloged first ?
[20:15] <maco> Whitor: itll work
[20:15] <t_> nevermind
[20:15] <Scunizi> t_: do you know the mount point for the phone?
[20:15] <Slart> Whitor: find doesn't use an index.. it searches the whole thing every time
[20:15] <Whitor> thanks all
[20:15] <Gaming4JC> Scunizi, Jordan_U_: Thanks, reading now... I hope they provide an alternate install disk still. :P
[20:15] <maco> Whitor: find doesnt use a db. slocate, mlocate, locate, etc do
[20:15] <Scunizi> Gaming4JC: sure
[20:15] <Whitor> There should be a find built into nautilus ... imo
[20:16] <Scunizi> Whitor: there is..
[20:16] <t_> scunizi, I was able to push the file by right clicking the file
[20:16] <Whitor> oh
[20:16] <maco> Whitor: there's a file search program called tracker
[20:16] <Whitor> well look at that ! nice
[20:16] <Scunizi> Whitor: go to "Places"> search for files..
[20:17] <root> hey peeps
[20:17] <root> what it is?
[20:17] <Scunizi> t_: that's a nautilus function.. if it's not there now you might be able to install it.. search synaptic for nautilus and you might see nautilus-sendto as an install option
[20:17] <Whitor> then it is what
[20:17] <maco> Guest95917: not a social channel. if you want to chat, #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:17] <Guest95917> sorry guys...
[20:17] <Guest95917> my bad...
[20:18] <crohakon> its only social after mid-night when everyone has had there share of rum.
[20:18] <ck773> arrr
[20:18] <Scunizi> beer, scotch, vodka
[20:18] <crohakon> mead
[20:18] <crohakon> hard cider
[20:18] <Gaming4JC> Ok I read it over, it seems that I will be needing that alternate installation CD. Do you know if and where I might find that come the launch date for 9.10? :)
[20:19] <Scunizi> Gaming4JC: ubuntu.com
[20:19] <Gaming4JC> Scunizi: That's the LiveCD on their site, unless I'm not looking hard enough. lol
[20:20]  * Gaming4JC is browsing ubuntu.com...
[20:20] <trism> Gaming4JC: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#alternate
[20:20] <arand> Gaming4JC: alternate is already available for the RC, will be in the smae location come karmic http://releases.ubuntu.com/karmic/
[20:20] <shane2peru> Where can I buy a mini laptop with Ubuntu already installed?
[20:20] <arand> s/smae/same/
[20:20] <ph_softnet> hi all
[20:20] <Gaming4JC> trism, arand: Thanks! :D
[20:20] <ph_softnet> Im a cvs newbie, and got three questions concerning cvs modules
[20:21] <ph_softnet> 1) how do i delete a module from the cvs repository?
[20:21] <PreZ> Maybe a little off-topic, but is there any way to 'refresh' a laptop battery?  One of my laptop batteries can now only hold 66% of the original amount of charge it could hold, dramatically reducing the time I can spend off-power.
[20:22] <Flannel> PreZ: Not really
[20:23] <shane2peru> Does anyone know where to buy computers that already have linux - preferably Ubuntu pre-installed??
[20:23] <Scunizi> PreZ: if it's nickel-metal-hydride drain it then charge .. repeat for several cycles.. lythium for get about it.
[20:23] <Gaming4JC> Ok, I'm nearly set for the transition to 9.10. But one last question... is there any way I can download the entire repository without having to manually download packages from packages.ubuntu.com? I really need the basics like gstreamer, my graphics card driver, etc. and it takes around 4hrs on my dial-up line. :(
[20:23] <Gaming4JC> I figure I can go to a highspeed place or pay some one to make a repo disk. :P
[20:23] <Scunizi> !aptoncd | Gaming4JC
[20:23] <silverglade00> shane2peru: dell mini 10
[20:23] <ckw> Can I just whine for a second here? Are there any plans to have an updater that doesn't require constant monitoring?
[20:23] <PreZ> Hrm, I think it's a Lithium Hydroxide, but I need to check, I know my (much older) laptop uses a NiMH
[20:23] <ckw> I understand you need to ask which config version I want
[20:23] <shane2peru> silverglade00: directly from dell?
[20:24] <Scunizi> PreZ: if it's lithium.. buy a new one..
[20:24] <Flannel> ckw: What part of your updater requires monitoring?
[20:24] <ckw> but couldn't that be done quickly, allowing the rest of hte update to happen while I'm eating lunch, etc
[20:24] <Jordan_U_> Gaming4JC: The Ubuntu DVD contains all of main and restricted
[20:24] <ckw> Flannel, Such as constantly asking if I want my version or hte package version of apache config
[20:24] <silverglade00> shane2peru: http://www.dell.com/content/topics/segtopic.aspx/linux_3x?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs
[20:25] <ckw> It pops up a window and pauses the update until I answer
[20:25] <Flannel> ckw: Ah, that.  That is the very end of the updating, everything's already downloaded at that point, so it should be quick.
[20:25] <Gaming4JC> Sunizi: That'll work, assuming I use Ubuntu to get the files. But most libraries use Windows XP still, leaving me unable to download them from there. Jordan_U_: Ok, I'll be keeping my eye out for the DVD. :)
[20:25] <ckw> Everything has been downloaded
[20:25] <ckw> this is during install
[20:25] <ckw> I had a few dialogs that happened pretty soon in the install phase
[20:25] <shane2peru> silverglade00: got it!  Thanks!
[20:25] <PreZ> Scunizi, well, luckily when I bought the laptop, I got 2 battery packs (mainly for long plane trips when one would not last the whole trip) ... recently I've not had to go on any long trips, so the second battery is still at 90% of original charge ;P
[20:25] <ckw> if I had gone for a few hours to find them, I would still have a bunch of packages left
[20:25] <ckw> and more dialogs
[20:26] <ckw> If there were some sort of preproccessing where all those dialogs were asked before the rest of the packages are installed
[20:26] <ckw> I could then leave the system alone while it updates and not have to break up as much of my normal life
[20:27] <Gaming4JC> Can anyone suggest to Canonical that they should have a bunch of Repository disks for sale? I'm sure people like myself would love getting the whole repo for offline use and be willing to pay the $$. xP
[20:28] <steve2> hey guys got a prob
[20:28] <Jordan_U_> Gaming4JC: You can do it yourself at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/
[20:29] <nerdy_kid> i have a program that keep notifiying me of stuff i dont care about, how can i shut it up?
[20:29] <steve2> I am trying to burn an imige to disk with brasaro disk burner and every time i end up getting an error I know these files are ok is there another burning program I can use with Ubuntu 9.04
[20:29] <PreZ> damn, the battery is a Li-ion :(
[20:29] <Scunizi> k3b
[20:29] <Gaming4JC> Jordan_U_: hmm.. yah That'll work.  :)
[20:29] <Scunizi> steve2: k3b
[20:30] <steve2> I can get it through the terminal
[20:30] <ckw> Flannel, I know it's a small thing and this probably isn't the place
[20:30] <Jordan_U_> Gaming4JC: zyxware.com used to sell repo CD/DVDs also
[20:30] <Scunizi> steve2: sudo apt-get install k3b
[20:30] <ckw> but where would I go to suggest such a thing?
[20:30] <steve2> awsome thanks ill try it
[20:30] <ckw> (having all dialogs at the beginning of the upgrade process)
[20:30] <Flannel> ckw: File a bug at launchpad
[20:31] <mayki> would that be considered a bug?
[20:31] <Flannel> ckw: It won't be able to do them at the beginning, it would have to be at the end.
[20:31] <nerdy_kid> i have a program that keep notifiying me of stuff i dont care about, how can i shut it up?
[20:31] <Flannel> mayki: It could be, or a wishlist, either way launchpad would be appropriate
[20:31] <ckw> Why not at the beginning?
[20:32] <xago> People, I have evolution installed on my system, but when I try to open an attached file, I received following message "Could not open the link. No application is registered as handling file" Some may tell what's wrong?
[20:32] <mayki> ah
[20:32] <ckw> if the package installers were split up into sections that may need human interaction and non human interaction
[20:32] <Flannel> ckw: Because at the beginning of the upgrade it has no idea what files will be updated/which files you've modified (to ask you which to keep)
[20:32] <ckw> Yes
[20:33] <Gaming4JC> Jordan_U_: Sounds interesting on that store... Also would you know if the DVD of Ubuntu would allow me to upgrade my existing installation, or will I have to get the alternate install for that?
[20:33] <ckw> What I am saying is if the package installers would be split up into two sections, one that checked for files that may need human interaction, the other that used the precious data to actually install
[20:33] <Gaming4JC> Jordan_U_: Just so I know if I have to go download both, or just one big one. lol :)
[20:33] <ckw> Then the data collections part could be run before the package is actually installed
[20:34] <Jordan_U_> Gaming4JC: The DVD will allow you to upgrade
[20:34] <ckw> Flannel, it wouldn't even be too hard to make backward compatible
[20:34] <Gaming4JC> Jordan_U_: Amazing, thanks for the help! I'll be sure to get the DVD when it comes out in 6 days. :D
[20:34] <ckw> To break existing packages
[20:34] <Blehk> Is there any suggestions on what to use for live hd-repartitioning? (I can't have these comps go down) Would that leave out gparted? Or can I resize on the fly?
[20:35] <Flannel> ckw: File a bug, you don't need to convince me.
[20:35] <Scunizi> Blehk: if you had LVM installed then yes.. otherwise I'm not aware of anything but gparted
[20:35] <daevski> Anyone using vsftpd here? -- I had it installed and working previously, but decided to start from scratch (reinstall) and now /etc/init.d/vsftpd doesn't respond, but the file does exist in that location. I'm not really sure what to do about this :-?
[20:35] <Blehk> Scunizi: it's all ext3, but can gparted do it on the fly?
[20:36] <genii> I don't think any live-repartitioning/resizing software could safely exist
[20:36] <Scunizi> Blehk: not without unmounting the drive.. LVM works with ext3 but has to be installed at the time of the partition/drive creation
[20:36] <Scunizi> I think
[20:36] <mayki> i have a question, why is it that when firefox doesn't close completely, i can't open a new one? i get the message "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." but if i have a firefox window open, i can open as many other windows as i want? do they all run on the same process?
[20:37] <PreZ> mayki, yah, they do
[20:37] <Scunizi> mayki: something got stuck.. add system monitor to one of your bars and use that to kill ff
[20:37] <mayki> ok
[20:37] <mayki> i just killall
[20:38] <PreZ> mayki, sudo killall init should deal with it ;P
[20:38] <mayki> is there a way to downgrade a package through terminal?
[20:38] <mayki> thanks PreZ
[20:38] <daevski> Anyone using vsftpd here? -- I had it installed and working previously, but decided to start from scratch (reinstall) and now /etc/init.d/vsftpd doesn't respond, but the file does exist in that location. I'm not really sure what to do about this :-?
[20:39] <grawity> daevski: What if you run vsftpd directly? It may show some error messages.
[20:40] <daevski> grawity: (yes), normally it would list the commands, but now it doesn't respond to anything.
[20:40] <babak> hi
[20:40] <babak> my ctrl+alt key don't work how can solve this problem?
[20:40] <grawity> daevski: I meant /usr/bin/vsftpd
[20:40] <daevski> grawity: maybe, one sec.
[20:43] <Cpt_Zyph> hay guys does ubuntu run on older pre intel based macbook's ?
[20:43] <daevski> grawity: hmm good advice... it seems as though it can't load the SSL certificate which it should create itself on install. -- Thanks for the tip.
[20:44] <babak> my ctrl+alt key don't work how can solve this problem?
[20:44] <Cpt_Zyph> also i am more experianced ( as far as a learner goes ) with fedora, what are teh key defferances between these 2 distos and
[20:44] <Scunizi> Cpt_Zyph: that would be the ppc version.. there is a channel for that #ubuntu-ppc
[20:44] <babak> ctrl+alt+backspace not work why?
[20:44] <grawity> daevski: It's _you_ who should create a SSL cert for your server.
[20:44] <grawity> !dontzap | babak
[20:44] <trism> mayki: might check out man 5 apt_preferences
[20:44] <Scunizi> babak: try ctrl+alt+SysRq+k
[20:45] <mayki> i'll do that
[20:45] <grawity> Scunizi: Ctrl is not needed.
[20:45] <Scunizi> grawity: just alt+sysRq+k ??
[20:45] <mayki> ah, thanks trism
[20:45] <grawity> Scunizi: It has always been Alt+SysRq+K.
[20:45] <daevski> grawity: oh, [slaps forhead] right...lol -- okay all is well again... I think.
[20:45] <Scunizi> grawity: ok.. never used it.. still running hardy
[20:45] <sdwrage> What is the command to find where a program resides?
[20:45] <Cpt_Zyph> Scunizi wonderful thanks.. i guess my last Q is . for multi media stuff and fedora i have such a hard time getting things working, so i thought of trying ubuntu.. other then RH vs Debian what are the differances between the 2 servers / desktops.. and why should someone consider ubuntu over fedora for i.e.?
[20:46] <sdwrage> like if I wanted to see where guake is installed...
[20:46] <grawity> daevski: Well yeah, Debian and Ubuntu do create one for you, but it's really better to do it yourself - no matter if it's an issued one or self-signed.
[20:46] <mikeru> hey, I have a Philips MCM590 micro system that has USB audio support
[20:46] <mikeru> however
[20:46] <grawity> sdwrage: 'which guake'
[20:46] <natschil_> !space |mikeru
[20:46] <Scunizi> Cpt_Zyph: fedora can be even more cutting edge.. & harder..
[20:46] <natschil_> !spacing
[20:46] <natschil_> !line
[20:46] <daevski> grawity: true. thanks. later.
[20:47] <natschil_> !enter | mikeru
[20:47] <babak> i want use ctrl+alt+f1 but my ctrl+alt key not work what do i have to do?
[20:47] <sdwrage> grawity, thx!
[20:47] <flower> how do I prevent a package from being installed using /etc/apt/preferences? I read something about p < 0
[20:47] <edulacomadreja> hi! where should i find the cover (artwork) for every Ubuntu release?
[20:47] <Cpt_Zyph> Scunizi how about ubuntu and the world of multi media it seems every .. well main stream style media app i try to get is already built for ubuntu but i have to tweek at it for weeks to get it working on my fedora server.. is this just me or is that the trend for the 2 destro's .. and thanks btw for your help
[20:47] <Scunizi> babak: try it with f2 twice in a row.. you'll get to a tty
[20:48] <Cpt_Zyph> Scunizi for i.e. "Simplify Media" is my recent challange
[20:48] <mikeru> when I connect it to my computer (with ubuntu9.10), it appears in the sound preferences and when I select it, it just doesn't work. the usb connect thing stops blinking and stays off, even though it's detected in sound preferences
[20:48] <babak> Scunizi: my ctrl+alt not work
[20:48] <edulacomadreja> hi! where should i find the cover (artwork) for every Ubuntu release?
[20:48] <genii> natschil_: Ironically you used up 6 lines with invalid factoid requests to finally hit on the 7th and 8th line to make a remark about someone who used a not overly excessive two lines
[20:48] <Scunizi> Cpt_Zyph: fedora can be finiky .. you really need to know the system and cli for some things.. Ubuntu is also very popular with a huge amount of support
[20:49] <Scunizi> babak: bad keyboard.. wrong keyboard setup ?? I don't have the answer
[20:49] <edulacomadreja> where should i find the cover (artwork) for every Ubuntu release?
[20:49] <mayki> anyone here good with joypads?
[20:49] <docmax__> i need a networkmonitoring tool which displays networktraffik-rate and shows me the process causing it
[20:49] <Scunizi> edulacomadreja: google?
[20:49] <docmax__> iftop and netstat dont do this
[20:49] <Scunizi> docmax__: wireshark
[20:49] <Cpt_Zyph> Scunizi thank you sir for your input.. i know this convo while opinionated can go on for ever.. i just wonder if someone like my self wants to realyl get into server linux projects etc.. which release would be a more long term learning project.. RH based or Debian based.. and again thanks for your input
[20:50] <natschil_> genii: yes, that's ironic sorry :) I used another 2 in a pm with ubottu though to find the right one...though I'm not asking a question, so no-on needs to see everything in one place after all...
[20:50] <edulacomadreja> Scunizi: yes, but there is no official site or something?
[20:50] <mayki> i have 2 and both worked perfectly (just plug and play) with feisty, hardy and the latest long term release
[20:50] <qdii> hello. is there a way to list all symbolic links pointing toward a certain file ?
[20:50] <Scunizi> Cpt_Zyph: your choice..
[20:50] <docmax__> Scunizi, thanks i will check it
[20:50] <Scunizi> Cpt_Zyph: different animals
[20:50] <zaoul1> xorg.conf is empty how the hell does xorg work?
[20:50] <Cpt_Zyph> thanks again fro your time guys and to the guy with a keyboard issue.. if possable try a different keyboard .. chances are the problem is related to teh device.. but i'm new in this comunity so.. GL
[20:50] <Cpt_Zyph> scunizi rgr that..
[20:51] <Scunizi> zaoul1: xrandr.. randr are what controls now
[20:51] <zaoul1> Scunizi: where would I put NvAGP "1" ... It seems I need it for ACPI suspend to ram
[20:52] <edulacomadreja> Scunizi: I found lots of covers, very nice all of them but I want the artwork that is finally used on the oficial release
[20:52] <shawn_> How can I view what users are registered from the command line? (Ubuntu server edition)?
[20:52] <Scunizi> edulacomadreja: maybe on launchpad, ubuntuforums.org .. I'm not sure.
[20:52] <shawn_> Registered on my computer that is
[20:52] <iceroot> shawn_: registered? you mean logged in?
[20:52] <shawn_> iceroot Just any registered users on my computer
[20:52] <iceroot> shawn_: cat /etc/passwd
[20:53] <grawity> shawn_: 'getent passwd' will print the user accounts.
[20:53] <edulacomadreja> oh well...
[20:53] <grawity> shawn_: Most of the time, 'cat /etc/passwd' does the same.
[20:53] <Scunizi> zaoul1: not sure.. I've never delt with that..
[20:53] <iceroot> grawity: if you only have local users, yes
[20:53] <zaoul1> Scunizi: is there any config for randr?
[20:53] <shawn_> grawity, Theres no way to view a more basic list? Thats kinda annoying to read through
[20:53] <grawity> iceroot: That's why I said "Most of the time". (I used to administer a couple of servers with LDAP.)
[20:54] <Scunizi> zaoul1: yes.. bunches.. man randr .. also google has a wealth of info on it.
[20:54] <grawity> shawn_: Pipe it to | cut -d: -f1
[20:54] <zaoul1> im sure it does :-/
[20:54] <babak> i want swich to text mode what do i have to do?
[20:54] <alazyworkaholic> How can I have my computers use a static ip when they turn on & connect to the router?
[20:55] <Scunizi> zaoul1: I use nvidia's propriatary driver.. it may automatically set it up but I'm not sure.
[20:55] <shawn_> grawity Why are things like hplip and daemen users on my computer?
[20:55] <BrixSat> Hello
[20:55] <grawity> shawn_: 'daemon', 'irc',
[20:55] <grawity> shawn_: errrrr
[20:55] <mayki> oh snap, i need help
[20:55] <grawity> shawn_: 'daemon', 'irc', 'mail' and such users are (or usually, used to be) used by various daemon programs.
[20:55] <babak> i want swich to text mode what do i have to do?
[20:55] <BrixSat> My ubuntu wont start so many error's, i went to a live cd and i cant copy some files because they are under root! How can i copy root files?
[20:56] <trism> babak: just for now or permanently? ctrl+alt+f1-7 to switch back and forth, otherwise disable gdm to do it permanently
[20:56] <iceroot> shawn_: maybe you are searching for users with /bin/bash instead of /bin/false  the rest are not the users you expect
[20:56] <grawity> shawn_: For example, if the system had a mail daemon (server) running, it would be running with the privileges of user 'mail' for security.
[20:56] <mayki> i was using the terminal, and the mouse went outside of it, giving the window i had in back focus, i typed "exit [enter]" and now everything is gone :O!
[20:56] <shawn_> grawity I have like like 30 things that arent people they are just applications showing up in that users thing X_X
[20:56] <grawity> shawn_: I think Ubuntu has a graphical user manager somewhere...
[20:56] <Jape> when does ubuntu 9.10 come out?
[20:56] <shawn_> grawity Im using server edition on the one I need to check
[20:56] <iceroot> Jape: 29.10.2009
[20:56] <BrixSat> Jape www.ubuntu.com
[20:56] <grawity> shawn_: Well then, passwd is the only way.
[20:56] <babak> trism: ctrl+alt+f1 not work on my keyboard
[20:56] <rodneymillerpca_> Greetings all! I've updated to Ubuntu 9.10 and now receive this error in ant while compiling http://pastebin.com/d4e4cb116 anyone know how to set this correct?
[20:57] <Pici> rodneymillerpca_ : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Karmic/9.10 support/discussion.
[20:57] <eraldo> I have an Aiptek 8000U plugged in and it seems that the driver package "xserver-xorg-input-aiptek" is installed... I also did some restarts ...but somehow I can't get to have it actually working > when I move the pen there is no response whatsoever
[20:57] <Scunizi> shawn_: that's normal
[20:57] <Jape> thanks
[20:57] <Jape> cant wait
[20:57] <shawn_> Scunizi, Oh alright
[20:57] <mayki> shit, now even the files on my desktop are "an unknown type"
[20:57] <kim__> hi guys, has anyone installed the new update? how to get rid of that awn lookalike thing??
[20:57] <zaoul1> Scunizi: xorg.log shows the config is running through HAL
[20:57] <khaled_> my wireless speed is not stable at all. it keeps going up and down all the time, at the end i reach an average less than half my original speed!
[20:57] <iceroot> kim__: new update?
[20:57] <rodneymillerpca_> Pici Ok thank you
[20:57] <grawity> shawn_: Every process must run as some user. Historically, most of them have used 'daemon' (though others had more specific ones, as 'mail', 'uucp' and 'irc').
[20:57] <mayki> and i can't get to my desktop with nautilus :(
[20:57] <kim__> yeah, well the latest
[20:58] <naesojo> Hello everybody, has anyone here who wants to speak in Portuguese?
[20:58] <shawn_> grawity, Oh alrighty thanks :)
[20:58] <grawity> shawn_: Now, to increase security, many daemons have their _own_ accounts.
[20:58] <zero> ld.net
[20:58] <Pici> !pt | naesojo
[20:58] <iceroot> kim__: jaunty or karmic? if karmic goto #ubuntu+1
[20:58] <Scunizi> mayki: ctrl+alt+f2 .. log in ... then "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[20:58] <kim__> karmic
[20:58] <grawity> shawn_: So if you have Postfix mail daemon installed, you'd have 'postfix' in users.
[20:58] <docmax__> Scunizi, i dont want to sniff packets
[20:58] <shawn_> grawity, Oh okay makes sense
[20:58] <kim__> cant right klick it
[20:58] <docmax__> just see the processes which do traffic
[20:58] <iceroot> kim__: as i said, goto #ubuntu+1
[20:59] <kim__> k
[20:59] <angelv> hi guys... some help with md, i have one raid but after reebooting need assemble manualy with mdadm --assemble --scan --config=/etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf and later mount mount /dev/md0 /home/raid5 i have some infirmation on http://www.pastebin.ca/1640628
[20:59] <grawity> shawn_: Things like 'irc', 'uucp' and 'news' are mostly for historical+compatibility reasons though. In any case, no one can login with them, so they're secure.
[20:59] <mikeru> so, does someone know about that?
[20:59] <Scunizi> docmax__: in cli.. top .. in gui .. add the system monitor to one of your bars
[21:00] <shawn_> grawity I dont think my server would have a lot of those anyways then since it only has certain server things running
[21:00] <naesojo>
[21:00] <naesojo> No personal problems, I also speak in other languages.
[21:00] <docmax__> Scunizi, where is the option in gui?
[21:01] <mayki> thanks Scunizi, it's fixed now,
[21:01] <Scunizi> docmax__: point at the top bar on the screen and right mouse click.. choose "add to panel" and look for system monitor
[21:01] <babak> ctrl+alt not work i want swich to text mode what do i have to do?
[21:01] <Scunizi> mayki: :)
[21:02] <Scunizi> babak: try another keyboard
[21:02] <iceroot> babak: ctrl+alt+f1
[21:02] <docmax__> top bar on the screen? the title?
[21:02] <awayguy> halo, well. i want to make a matrix in R. i have 3 rows with the same length (length=10). t,x,y. now i want that each of them is a colum in this in this 3X10 Matrix., how to do this?
[21:02] <flan_suse> I understand that Ubuntu uses HAL to mount and present hot-pluggable devices, such as USB drives. You can even right-click the drive icon and select "Unmount". However, how can this be done via a bash script? Unmount requires root privileges, it seems.
[21:02] <Scunizi> iceroot: he's been asking about that for a while.. his keys don't work
[21:02] <Xtreme_Great> ops: Thanks for unbanning me...
[21:03] <iceroot> Scunizi: i dont scroll the hole channel to see what someone has post too
[21:03] <Scunizi> docmax__: the bar that has "applications>Places etc".. just pick a blank area
[21:03] <guntbert> awayguy: not sure - I *think* you might want to ask in #openoffice.org
[21:03] <iceroot> awayguy: with what?
[21:03] <awayguy> R --> its the r-project
[21:03] <Scunizi> iceroot: just thought I'd let you know so you wouldn't waste a bunch of time
[21:03] <iceroot> Scunizi: ok :)
[21:03] <lolol> what does ^X mean in a terminal?
[21:03] <Scunizi> ctrl+x
[21:04] <iceroot> lolol: ctrl+x
[21:04] <lolol> or like ^O or whatever
[21:04] <akappa> lolol, control x
[21:04] <lolol> oh
[21:04] <akappa> ^ = control
[21:04] <lolol> so ^ means ctrl
[21:04] <lolol> i get it
[21:04] <docmax__> Scunizi, u mean the gnome panel???????????????????
[21:04] <lolol> thanks
[21:04] <Scunizi> or raised eyebrows
[21:04] <Scunizi> docmax__: ok..
[21:04] <eraldo> I have an Aiptek 8000U plugged in and it seems that the driver package "xserver-xorg-input-aiptek" is installed... I also did some restarts ...but somehow I can't get to have it actually working > when I move the pen there is no response whatsoever... any ideas?
[21:04] <docmax__> Scunizi, i'm in wireshark gui!
[21:05] <Scunizi> docmax__: you didn't mention that!  .. I did say top of the screen... not window .. but I know how that could be confusing.
[21:05] <docmax__> Scunizi, are we talking about wireshark or the gnome taskmanager?
[21:05] <awayguy> r-project.org <-- its a matrix based calculator, some of ppl which using ubuntu are using R to, so i thought i might as here
[21:05] <awayguy> *ask
[21:06] <Scunizi> docmax__: gnome task bar or panel.. the very top panel that is visible on the screen..
[21:06] <docmax__> Scunizi, you want me to add an applet?
[21:07] <Scunizi> docmax__: if you want to see processes and what's happening.. as an example try top in terminal .. same basic info
[21:08] <docmax__> Scunizi, i need information which process is doing how much NETWORK-traffic
[21:08] <docmax__> for ex. vlc 500 kb/s
[21:08] <[t0rc]> I have a folder of files I want to make into an ISO, how do I do that?
[21:08] <docmax__> smbd 700 kb/s etc.
[21:09] <oli_> WHATS UP NERD NIGGERZ HEIL HITLER HEIL HEIL HEIL UBUNTU FUCKING SUCKS LOL GET A LIFE HEIL HITLER
[21:09] <docmax__> oli LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
[21:09] <ZykoticK9> [t0rc], for command line look into the command mkisofs
[21:09] <[t0rc]> ZykoticK9, nice, thanks
[21:10] <Scunizi> docmax__: k.. I give up.. I don't know a tool for that specific task.. sorry for leading you in the wrong direction.. http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/top-linux-monitoring-tools.html  check that out
[21:10] <RhysTM> does anybody know of a downloadmanager compareable to IDM for linux with support for megaupload and a web interface?
[21:10] <awayguy> someone knows a channel for R-users?
[21:11] <angelv> please, any with experience with mdadm raid?
[21:11] <Flannel> awayguy: /join #R
[21:11] <awayguy> thy
[21:11] <awayguy> thx
[21:11] <eaxexee> Hi there, I have 3 monitors(15",19" and 19") set up in this order: 15", 19", 19", and I want ALL of them to be used at the same time. I have 2 nvidia cards installed to handle it but right now I can only use the two 19" and have the last one as a separate x screen, which is NOt what I want. How would I go about this? :)
[21:11] <zaoul1> angelv: yea whats up
[21:12] <Lenny1729> Hi there
[21:12] <angelv> hi zaoul1, i have this information http://www.pastebin.ca/1640628
[21:12] <docmax__> Scunizi, nice site, thanks
[21:12] <Sirisian|Work> what's the s stand for in: "srwxrwxrwx" for a permission. It shows up as purple.
[21:12] <zleap1> iirc sticky
[21:12] <zhando> Really bad bootup problems with nvidia card with new kernel works ok with jaunty kernel tips?
[21:12] <iceroot> Scunizi: 777
[21:12] <zaoul1> angelv: what is the problem?
[21:12] <grawity> Sirisian|Work: Probably 'socket'.
[21:12] <angelv> the raid work ok, but after reeboting need assambly manualy and mount
[21:12] <iceroot> Sirisian|Work: 777
[21:12] <Lenny1729> How can I install a proprietary w-lan driver from USB?
[21:12] <iceroot> Scunizi: sorry wrong nick
[21:13] <zaoul1> angelv: what does cat /proc/mdstat give you?
[21:13] <Scunizi> docmax__: looks like maybe nstat or iptraf would help you.. good luck
[21:13] <Sirisian|Work> grawity, that makes sense actually. the file is cups.sock :\
[21:13] <eaxexee> Lenny1729: is it a wireless broadband or regular wireless card?
[21:13] <Scunizi> iceroot: you trying to chown me? :)
[21:13] <iceroot> Sirisian|Work: ah sorry you asked for the s. s= symbolic link
[21:13] <Scunizi> chmod
[21:13] <iceroot> Scunizi: worked? :)
[21:13] <zleap1> set group id according to this http://www.unix.com/unix-advanced-expert-users/17577-unix-file-permissions.html
[21:13] <grawity> iceroot: Symlinks are 'l'
[21:13] <isabel575> i can't sudo aptitude remove xubuntu and kubuntu desktop help
[21:13] <spider> my compiz effects stopped working today, and im not sure why, what can i do to try and fix the problem?
[21:13] <grawity> Sirisian|Work: Often, Unix applications use "Unix domain sockets" for interprocess communications.
[21:13] <Lenny1729> eaxexee: regular w-lan card, in my case a broadcom card
[21:13] <RhysTM> does anybody know of a downloadmanager compareable to IDM for linux with support for megaupload and a web interface?
[21:13] <iceroot> grawity: oh, i am sorry
[21:14] <angelv> http://www.pastebin.ca/1640651
[21:14] <Scunizi> iceroot: my perissions don't allow me to be available to everyone.. my wife won't let me :)
[21:14] <grawity> zleap1: No, the setgid 's' would be in the 'group permisions' part.
[21:14] <Sirisian|Work> grawity, makes sense. How can I find out what's using that socket?
[21:14] <DSpair> Hello all...
[21:14] <grawity> zleap1: This 's' is in the 'file type' column.
[21:14] <grawity> Sirisian|Work: lsof
[21:14] <eaxexee> Lenny1729: and it's not supported? Have you tried going to System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers ?
[21:14] <grawity> Sirisian|Work: Or, guessing from the name, it was created by CUPS
[21:14] <zaoul1> angelv: hmm, looks fine, what it wont mount?
[21:15] <Lenny1729> eaxexee: Normally I would connect to ethernet and run the propriertary driver application to download it, than it works fine. But I no longer have ethernet connection, so the typical hen egg problem
[21:15] <DSpair> I'm hoping someone here is a Kernel virtual machine expert. I have configured USB pass-thru on a 4-port USB hub. The virtual machine is WinDoze, but it isn't getting the vendor/device ID from the pass-thru hub. Any suggestions?
[21:15] <angelv> http://pastebin.ca/1640657
[21:15] <angelv> my fstab
[21:15] <Sirisian|Work> grawity, yeah it's the web interface. I'm trying to see if they have the code in there for it someplace. I couldn't find out if there was source for it.
[21:15] <eaxexee> Lenny1729: Ohh snap! I know the feeling :/ Have you tried ndiswrapper?
[21:16] <isabel575> when i try to sudo aptitude remove xubuntu-desktop it only keeps back packages and then tells me no packages were removed, yet i know xfce is installed as i can see it as a login option am i mistyping the command?ç
[21:16] <Scunizi> DSpair: what's running the vm? virtualbox, vmware, xen?
[21:16] <Lenny1729> eaxexee: No not yet, how would it work?
[21:16] <JoeSomebody> hi, i have an extra system for testing, i have win 7 on it, will ubuntu work out for a dual booit with it?
[21:17] <Lenny1729> eaxexee: is there no way to download the right broadcom driver before my reinstallation and then install the driver from USB on my new Ubuntu 9.10 system?
[21:17] <JoeSomebody> should i wait for the new release ?
[21:17] <zaoul1> angelv: is there any more to dmesg?
[21:17] <Scunizi> JoeSomebody: sure
[21:17] <eitreach> GNOME will not start composited. What can I do to fix this?
[21:17] <zaoul1> angelv: the array is fine and does not need to be reuit
[21:17] <zaoul1> angelv: rebuilt
[21:17] <eaxexee> Lenny1729: Wait, you don't have internet in 9.10?
[21:17] <shawn_> JoeSomebody, An older release would be more stable than the one just coming out
[21:17] <Scunizi> JoeSomebody: or run ubutnu in a vm in win7 if your just testing
[21:17] <Sirisian|Work> grawity, "cupsd      8975     root    4u     unix 0xf09eba00           11978929 /var/run/cups/cups.sock" so that means cups is using it. hmm
[21:17] <zaoul1> angelv: mdstat says that UUUU .. meaning they are all 'up'
[21:17] <Harrison_Bergero> hello all.  I dont know what i just did so i dont know how to describe what happened.  All my windows in Ubuntu are different
[21:18] <prince_jammys> isabel575: xubuntu-desktop is a metapackage (a package with a list of dependencies, so that all the dependencies get installed). when you remove it, none of the other packages get removed.
[21:18] <grawity> Sirisian|Work: Actually, it means cups is listening on it (waiting for connections)
[21:18] <Harrison_Bergero> I cant close them or minimize
[21:18] <trism> isabel575: you could try sudo apt-get remote xubuntu-desktop then sudo apt-get autoremove, that should work
[21:18] <isabel575> prince_jammys, how do i get rid of xfce then?
[21:18] <Harrison_Bergero> the tops of the windows "disappeared"
[21:18] <zaoul1> Harrison_Bergero: you do not have any 'decorations' ?
[21:18] <grawity> Harrison_Bergero: The titlebars?
[21:18] <shawn_> Harrison_Bergero, I had to read that story for English.
[21:18] <flower> can you use APT::Default-release in /etc/apt/apt.conf on Ubuntu?
[21:18] <Harrison_Bergero> titlebars...yeah
[21:18] <bastidrazor> !puregnome | isabel575
[21:18] <Sirisian|Work> grawity, yeah that's what I meant. I wonder if cupsd is open source >_>
[21:18] <JoeSomebody> Scunizi will 9.04 be ok? will win7 see the ext3?
