[05:01] <taraduffy> Hi, I cant get any sound with a new installation of 9.10? Any advice please?
[05:01] <BHoward> socratesthekid, oh what laptop model do you have?
[05:01] <socratesthekid> fujitsu lifebook p1510d
[05:01] <xor> ZykoticK9: I tried logging in with my regular user and I can't, I tried root and failed as well.
[05:01] <n00p> darkipod: make a backup of your /etc/fstab and then sudo gedit /etc/fstab, change the first word of line 13 to /dev/sr1, save and retry
[05:01] <Shazam> Benbong: undoubtedly during a session, but I haven't been able to reliably determine what's causing it to hang.
[05:01] <ZykoticK9> Kismet, not really - but do you want to pastebin the end of your dmesg for me?
[05:01] <Eremite> taraduffy, turn the volume up>  The volume is turn off automatically bu default.
[05:02] <ZykoticK9> xor, sorry man i don't remember - been too long and not currently running a web server
[05:02] <taraduffy> eremite: have done this.
[05:02] <Benbong> Shazam: can you identify a process taking alot of memory when you run top ?
[05:02] <Eremite> taraduffy, in terminal type :alsamixer and turn it up.
[05:02] <xor> np
[05:02] <Shazam> Benbong: I'll check it next time it hangs, but neither of me FF procs were taking more than 15 %
[05:03] <taraduffy> Eremite: what is full command line please?
[05:03] <phong_> hi all
[05:03] <phong_> how is everyone doing?
[05:03] <Eremite> taraduffy,  alsamixer
[05:03] <Benbong> Shazam: Have you tried to update firefox, maybe it will solve the problem
[05:03] <rakesh> hello frndz
[05:03] <Benbong> Shazam: sorry I cannot think of something else at the moment
[05:04] <Shazam> Benbong: its the most recent in the apt repository
[05:04] <taraduffy> Eremite: have 3 bars showing white, green, red?
[05:04] <Benbong> Shazam:x86 or x86_64 ?
[05:04] <Shazam> Benbong: x86
[05:04] <Shazam> Benbong: on 32 bit hardware
[05:04] <Eremite> taraduffy, yes.  Turn them up (ie: make sure everything is at least in the green)
[05:05] <Benbong> Shazam: have you done some tweeking of firefox (like prefetch or anything)?
[05:05] <BHoward> socratesthekid, seems like most people just have trouble with the screen... Try booting into a live cd and see if your card is recognized
[05:05] <taraduffy> Eremite: all up max. No difference.
[05:06] <Eremite> socratesthekid, what is your exact problem?  Screen resolution detection?
[05:06] <socratesthekid> Ermite no, it's not recognizing my wireless
[05:06] <Shazam> Benbong: no, nothing. A couple of extensions, I'm running greasemonkey and chatzilla. a fair number of others. but nothing absurdly wierd
[05:07] <Shazam> Benbong: and regardless. It shouldn't be the case that anything I do in user under FF should prevent the kernel from killing a process.
[05:07] <socratesthekid> BHoward, I installed from a live cd.... it wasn't reading it then either
[05:07] <Benbong> Shazam: you're right, if it crashes, you should be able to kill it no matter what
[05:08] <Benbong> Shazam: have you run memtest86+ ? that would be my last guess, if anything else is OK
[05:08] <Benbong> Shazam: I had some weird things happening just before my ram died
[05:09] <BHoward> socratesthekid, try the directions on this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/AR5007
[05:09] <Shazam> Benbong: hmm... yeah I guess that's a possibility
[05:09] <Shazam> testing
[05:09] <Eremite> taraduffy, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1308034  start reading and get ready for a headache.
[05:09] <Benbong> Shazam, let me know if it is that :)
[05:09] <BHoward> socratesthekid, if this doesnt work i dont really know what else to try. Last time I had your problem my WIFI card actually went bad
[05:09] <taraduffy> Ermite: ops. This is a new install on new machine ;-(
[05:10] <kazulu> I want to learn  about  management of servers. with whom topic i need begin

[05:11] <Smokey_> Getting this error on failed boot after installing updates on a clean install: http://pastebin.com/d66456e90
[05:11] <Smokey_> any ideas?
[05:11] <Smokey_> found it on the forums in some places...... but no solutions
[05:11] <Benbong> has anyone had any trouble with ubuntu 9.10 x86_64 and nvidia
[05:11] <Benbong> troubles like not being able to login after an update ?
[05:11] <Eremite> taraduffy, sudo apt-get install pulseaudio  --   Then, open gnome volume control (right click > sound preferences) and make sure that Master, PCM and Speaker channels are ON. The reinstall of the pulse sound server should have added a new entry in the Devices List found at System Settings->Multimedia, called "Playback/recording through the PulseAudio Sound Server". use this as default sound server and voilà.  (This advice from a Ku

[05:11] <jacquesdptd> i'm building my own tablet and was traveling the web to search what would fit the best for the 15 inch screen and prepare the software part before i receive the touch screen, i so falled on moblin
[05:12] <Shazam> Benbong: I'll have to run it when I go down. It wasn't bad last time I checked
[05:12] <jacquesdptd> i would like to install it but as a repo
[05:12] <ZykoticK9> kazulu, you can ask in #ubuntu-offtopic but this is the support channel for SPECIFIC questions only
[05:12] <Shazam> I'll try it again next time I'm down
[05:12] <altNull> benbong - what happens exactly?
[05:12] <Benbong> Shazam: maybe it was a soler eclipse :)
[05:12] <Benbong> altNull, I've updated the kernel from 2.6.32-13 to 2.6.32-17
[05:13] <AntiProxy> i just installed vsftpd on a fresh installed Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS.. set it up the way i had it setup on my old Debian server.. tried logging in.. and i keep getting "530 Login incorrect" even though the username and password are correct, and the user has a shell enabled to rule that out (i can even ssh with the same credentials)
[05:13] <jacquesdptd> i mean as we are installing kubuntu-desktop or xubuntu-desktop and then being able to choose between moblin or regular gnome on the login screen, can someone help me please ?
[05:13] <Eremite> I'm trying to get text to speech working in Ubuntu.  I've downloaded Kmouth and KTTSmgr and I believe that everything is configured properly.  I have selected a voice, and the "test" works and reads the text aloud.  However, I cannot do ANYTHING else. How do I get this to work? How can I add a "job"?  Nothing seems to work.
[05:13] <Benbong> altNull, at the following login, I had to enter my name and password
[05:13] <altNull> so you get to the login screen
[05:13] <Benbong> altNull, but after the password, the screen flicked and went back to the login screen
[05:13] <altNull> got it
[05:13] <Benbong> altNull, I've done it several times with te same result
[05:14] <Benbong> altNull, but I can logon without trouble on another tty without x
[05:14] <rbunix> helo can everyone help me http://pastebin.ca/1796954
[05:14] <rbunix> im use ubuntu 9
[05:14] <altNull> benbong - you need to boot up with a live-cd and go though your nvidia logs in the /var/log/ directory
[05:14] <altNull> then we can help you better
[05:15] <altNull> benbong - you can also change your xorg.conf to use vesa instead of nvidia or nv
[05:15] <Real_Ubot> ZykoticK9: Why not use TrueCrypt?
[05:15] <socratesthekid> BHoward, dumb question.... it's saying "install build essentails" in those directions.... i dont actually know what that means
[05:15] <altNull> then you can boot into the gui from the hd
[05:15] <Benbong> altNull, I've tried to remove nvidia drivers and reboot on low-res mode
[05:15] <Benbong> altNull, but the same thing happens
[05:15] <rww> socratesthekid: install the "build-essential" package. One way of doing that would be "sudo apt-get install build-essential" on the command-line.
[05:15] <BHoward> socratesthekid, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[05:16] <Eremite> Benbong, what is the exact problem?  Native screen resolution detection ?
[05:16] <altNull> Benbong - how did your remove your drivers and how did you try and boot into low res mode?
[05:16] <Benbong> altNull, sudo apt-get remove nvidia*
[05:16] <Benbong> and reboot
[05:16] <ZykoticK9> Real_Ubot, i've never used TrueCrypt - but perhaps that's a better option.  I've only used pgp a little bit, but it's good for encrypting individual files i know.  best of luck man.
[05:16] <socratesthekid> thanks rww and BHoward
[05:16] <Benbong> altNull, I've then been asked to use a lor-res mode
[05:16] <Benbong> altNull, but without success
[05:16] <chmearl> qemu-kvm runs as a service in karmic 9.10? is this the emulator for kvm domains?
[05:16] <Eremite> Benbong, what is the exact problem?  Native screen resolution detection ?
[05:17] <Benbong> Eremite, the probelm is that I can reach the logon screen but then revert back to that screen
[05:17] <Benbong> Eremite, the screen resolution is good but cannot go further
[05:17] <altNull> benbong - you probably need to manually change your xorg.conf to use vesa
[05:17] <Eremite> You mean you get to GDM but cant start X?
[05:17] <Benbong> Eremite, in low res mode, the letters are way bigger but same issue
[05:17] <Benbong> Eremite, yes
[05:18] <Eremite> Can you star in text mode?
[05:18] <Eremite> start*
[05:18] <Benbong> Eremite, yes
[05:18] <Eremite> and typing "startx" does nothing?
[05:19] <Benbong> Eremite, I'll try that in 5 minutes, I restart now :)
[05:19] <Eremite> Good luck Benbong
[05:19] <Benbong> see ya all
[05:20] <Eremite> TEXT-TO-SPEECH HELP WANTED:  I'm trying to get text to speech working in Ubuntu.  I've downloaded Kmouth and KTTSmgr and I believe that everything is configured properly.  I have selected a voice, and the "test" works and reads the text aloud.  However, I cannot do ANYTHING else. How do I get this to work? How can I add a "job"?  Nothing seems to work.
[05:21] <owen1> bug #123775 is 'linked to a milestone later' and it 'has a patch', priority=medium, not assigned, status=won't fix.   what does all this mean? will it be fixed and when?  thanks!
[05:21] <magn3ts> How do I install cursors?
[05:22] <Eremite> magn3ts, download the files and once downloaded, right click your desktop, open the appearence page and open the themes tab.  Drag and drop the theme file into the "install" tab on the themes page.
[05:23] <Eremite> magn3ts, get cursors at http://gnome-look.org
[05:23] <magn3ts> Eremite, grr I was dropping it on the cursors panel. no wonder. thanks!
[05:23] <Eremite> magn3ts, no problem.
[05:23] <magn3ts> Eremite, weird. it still doesnt show up in the list of cursors
[05:23] <magn3ts> but it offered to apply it for me
[05:24] <Eremite> magn3ts, you may need to reload the screen/page/tab thingy.  Try re-installing it, too.
[05:24] <chmearl> equiv of rpm -ql please?
[05:24] <n00p> owen1: looks like it'll be fixed in a major upgrade
[05:24] <ZykoticK9> magn3ts, you can install gcursor which is a GUI frontend to install / manage pointers (poorly named app really)
[05:24] <Eremite> magn3ts, if that does not work, try restarting X (logout and login)
[05:25] <owen1> n00p: what does 'major upgrade' means?
[05:25] <magn3ts> Eremite, well I had actually installed it to .icons originally, that didn't allow me to select it, (I even rebooted) and in fact when I draged and dropped it just now, it made me go in and deleted the folder from .icons first
[05:25] <magn3ts> this looks to be a bug
[05:26] <Eremite> magn3ts, sounds buggy indeed.  Should work out-of-the-box with valid cursors.  File a bug.
[05:26] <n00p> owen1: what I mean is your patch might be in 10.4 when 10.4 comes out
[05:26] <Eremite> n00p, I cant wait for April to arrive :D
[05:27] <n00p> Eremite same here
[05:27] <robertzaccour> until recently i didn't have a 64 bit system so I decided to use Linux years ago for speed and efficiency, but now that i do i'm thinkin about giving windows another whirl
[05:27] <ZykoticK9> magn3ts, and scratch my idea - tried gcursor and can't actually get it to apply pointer changes for whatever reason
[05:27] <n00p> what are the current recommended specs to run Ubuntu?
[05:27] <n00p> s/Ubuntu/Ubuntu 9.10
[05:28] <ZykoticK9> robertzaccour, do you have a technical question?  if not could ask the broad questions in #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:28] <Eremite> n00p, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements
[05:28] <magn3ts> tech spec requirements isn't a technical question?
[05:29] <n00p> ahh excellent, so my system will be fine for years to come :P
[05:29] <Eremite> ZykoticK9, what do you call his question if NOT on topic?  Pfffft,
[05:29] <SuperDefenderX> ,
[05:29] <dspstv> ive got this FAT usb hardrive that mounts read-only how can i change that, i need to save sme files to it
[05:29] <dspstv> ?
[05:29] <ZykoticK9> Eremite, asking if one should return to Windows is NOT an Ubuntu support question in any way
[05:30] <AntiProxy> i just installed vsftpd on an Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS server.. set it up the way i had it setup on my old Debian box, setup a user account with a shell and password, and tried logging in.. but i keep getting "530 Login incorrect", i can ssh in with the same credentials so those are correct.. any ideas?
[05:30] <n00p> hmm I wonder if those off-topic questions can be answered by saying something like "sudo rm -rf /*"
[05:31] <magn3ts> Thats a good way to get kicked. Also rm won't execute that without an extra flag anymore.
[05:31] <Eremite> ZykoticK9, I didnt see anyone asking if they should use Windows.  Nor did you, I do not believe.
[05:31] <Eremite> Unless there's text that I cant read being displayed on your screen.
[05:31] <ZykoticK9> Eremite, and i quote "until recently i didn't have a 64 bit system so I decided to use Linux years ago for speed and efficiency, but now that i do i'm thinkin about giving windows another whirl"
[05:31] <dspstv> is my question OT?
[05:31] <Eremite> Where in that sentence is the question?
[05:32] <Eremite> Where did that user ask if they should use Windows?
[05:32] <Eremite> I see no questions.
[05:32] <frigginz> ubuntu boot usb creator crashed and formatted both flash drives i had plugged in. im sure the data is still on there, but how do i get it back?
[05:32] <Eremite> None.
[05:32] <dspstv> ive got this FAT usb hardrive that mounts read-only how can i change that, i need to save sme files to it?
[05:32] <dspstv> that was mine
[05:32] <Eremite> frigginz, if it formatted the drives then the data is lost
[05:32]  * n00p wonders how many things could be off-topic there: "Linux" (due to being unspecific), speed, efficiency, Windows...
[05:32] <ZykoticK9> Eremite, i don't see a question either - it's a broad lets chat about using Windows -- thus #ubuntu-offtop -- i'm dropping this
[05:33] <Eremite> Yeah, drop it.
[05:33] <rbunix> help me http://pastebin.ca/1796959
[05:33] <socratesthekid>  BHoward, are you still around?
[05:33] <frigginz> Eremite: but it's a 500 gig external hd, how could it format it in an instant on crashing?
[05:33] <BHoward> socratesthekid, yeah whats up?
[05:34] <socratesthekid> so I got through a bunch of it, and suddenly it's not working
[05:34] <n00p> rbunix: tried reinstalling perl?
[05:34] <frigginz> Eremite: now it shows up that nothing is on there, but it was only an instant, im sure the data is still there
[05:34] <Eremite> frigginz, hey man, you were the one that said it was formatted.  I just answered with the logical conclusion from your statement.
[05:34] <socratesthekid> some of the numbers changed, and now i've got a command that just wont go through at all
[05:34] <BHoward> socratesthekid, which command?
[05:34] <frigginz> anyone know of a data recovery tool for ubuntu to get data off a drive?
[05:35] <jschall> I have a regular kubuntu install cd, and I'm trying to install on a system with an nvidia 6800gt (i think). I can select either "install kubuntu" or "try kubuntu without any change" and they both take me to a TTY. Based on my google search, I'm guessing its an nvidia driver issue and the recommended approach is get the alternate install cd. Is there any way I could either: get the nvidia driver and then install using the gui, or install
[05:35] <jschall>  without a gui using the regular install cd? I'd prefer not to have to download the alt install cd (i have slow internet)
[05:35] <Eremite> frigginz, try booting a Live CD and seeing if you can grab the data with that
[05:35] <ZykoticK9> frigginz, look into testdisk and photorec < both made by the same people
[05:35] <socratesthekid> "./madwifi-unload"
[05:35] <socratesthekid> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d35759a3d
[05:36] <frigginz> Eremite: it's an external flash, why would i need to use live cd?
[05:36] <socratesthekid> thats everything i've done after the last bit you told me
[05:36] <frigginz> ZykoticK9: are they for flash too?
[05:36] <michal_> is there a way to map a hotkey to a desktop app launcher??
[05:36] <ZykoticK9> frigginz, yup
[05:36] <Real_Ubot> ZykoticK9: Ok, thanks.
[05:37] <mikereggie> can someone help me? im running on 512mb or ram, and a 2.3 pentium 4, was wondering if there is any way to speed up my performance some? i have no effects on.
[05:37] <frigginz> ZykoticK9: thanks im checking that out now
[05:37] <ZykoticK9> frigginz, they're amazing recovery options - BUT you'll lose all your file name, they'll look like a bunch of random letters/number with the correct extensions
[05:37] <Real_Ubot> Is it possible to have a TrueCrypt container mounted and then at some point close it and ssh the file to another computer where one have to use a password to decrypt the data?
[05:37] <n00p> socratesthekid: I noticed there's a README in there
[05:37] <Threetimes> I need a tool to make a DVD with an video as menu background. DVDstyler comes quite close, but it doesn't work for me.
[05:37] <n00p> did you read it for build instructions?
[05:38] <Broken> hello all, is anyone familiar with how to blank the shutdown screen on 9.10?
[05:38] <Real_Ubot> Like having the container opened waiting for info, then automatically close it (using a bash script) and then ssh and so on...
[05:38] <BHoward> socratesthekid, madwifi-unload is in the scrpits directory
[05:38] <owen1> n00p: thank you. i can't wait for this bug fix.
[05:38] <ZykoticK9> Threetimes, see if devede will do it?  i'm not sure - but i've had the best luck creating video DVD with that program (i've never done menu stuff though)
[05:38] <socratesthekid> n00p, i admit, i didn't even look at that.... i'm new, i've been struggling with this for several hours and am getting sloppy i suppose
[05:38] <Eremite> mikereggie, I highly suggest that you use Kubuntu or another lightweight Linux Operating System for computers with low specs.  I personally suggest Crunchbang for your mentioned hardware, but If you want a minimalist OS you can also use TinyMe Linux.]
[05:38] <n00p> socratesthekid: it looks to me like you need to build that.
[05:38] <Threetimes> ZykoticK9: devede can't do animated menus
[05:39] <tonyyarusso> Eremite: since when is Kubuntu lightweight?
[05:39] <n00p> that's not hard, socratesthekid. just look at the README files
[05:39] <ZykoticK9> Threetimes, sorry no other suggestions
[05:39] <Eremite> TEXT-TO-SPEECH HELP WANTED:  I'm trying to get text to speech working in Ubuntu.  I've downloaded Kmouth and KTTSmgr and I believe that everything is configured properly.

[05:39] <n00p> they should tell you how... if not, come back here
[05:39] <Eremite> tonyyarusso, I meant Xubuntu.  Its been a long day.
[05:39] <Threetimes> !caps | Eremite
[05:39] <Eremite> mikereggie, I meant XUBUNTU not Kubuntu
[05:39] <tonyyarusso> Eremite: ah, well in that case, I'll have to inform you that Xubuntu isn't lightweight either.  (Lubuntu would be a decent recommendation)
[05:39] <Eremite> Threetimes, SO?
[05:40] <BHoward> socratesthekid, just continue following the guide i sent you. you will find the madwifi-unload ub rg scripts directory
[05:40] <ZykoticK9> Eremite, have you looked into using "festival" - think it only reads text file / standard input though
[05:40] <Eremite> ZykoticK9, KTTS uses festival.  Acts as  front end for it, I read.
[05:41] <Eremite> ZykoticK9, I only want it to read text, not system text just plain text.
[05:41] <mikereggie> Eremite, does it run basically the same? i need to be able to use rythmbox to sync an ipod, and be able to play mp3s as well as run an occasional windows program with wine
[05:41] <bullgard> Who would like to test VoIP or viewphone = video-telephony = visual telephony using Empathy with me?
[05:41] <ZykoticK9> Eremite, i think from command line it simply "festival $filename"
[05:41] <n00p> Eremite: I wonder have you consulted the documentation for KTTSmgr?
[05:41] <socratesthekid> BHoward, yeah, i went into the scripts directory and ran the next two commands... i guess they worked
[05:41] <Eremite> n00p, yes and it is for KDE users.  The problems Im having are not covered in the help files.
[05:41] <Broken> Is anyone familiar with how to blank the shutdown screen on 9.10?
[05:42] <kthomas_vh> what is the name syntax for the local machine when using scp?
[05:42] <n00p> Broken: I have had it a few times, when some I/O error has occured.
[05:42] <n00p> not fun stuff
[05:42] <Threetimes> I need a tool to make a DVD with an video as menu background. DVDstyler comes quite close, but it doesn't work for me.
[05:42] <Eremite> ZykoticK9, Terminal returns the following: SIOD ERROR: unbound variable : Alone
[05:43] <Semitones> kthomas_vh, have you looked at man scp? (I don't remember offhand)
[05:43]  * kthomas_vh looks at the man page again :)
[05:43] <owen1> n00p: someone on ubuntu-dev told me it has been fixed a year ago. i am cofused.
[05:43] <bullgard> kthomas_vh: For example: 'detlef@MD97600:~$ scp /home/detlef/Datenbanken/Begriffe2000.kexi detlef@<IP_ADDRESS>:/home/detlef/ Datenbanken/Begriffe2000.kexi'
[05:44] <BHoward> kthomas_vh, its <remote Machines ip>:<path to files> <path on local machine>
[05:44] <Semitones> kthomas_vh, this should help too: http://amath.colorado.edu/computing/software/man/scp.html (simple usage examples)
[05:45] <Broken> n00p, it just comes up text saying something about kill then shutsdown fine but it never said anything before I removed the kde environment
[05:45] <jschall> Why are the GUI and alternate install CDs on separate images, instead of having an additional option on the regular livecd for text-based installation?
[05:46] <Eremite> jschall, the alternate CD is for low-end machines.
[05:46] <socratesthekid> alright, got to the reboot stage of things... back with stories of success i hope
[05:46] <Eremite> jschall, it would make the .iso larger than 700mb
[05:46] <DaemonFC> jschall, because the Live CD is just all the packaged isntalled on SquashFS
[05:46] <bullgard> jschall: An ordinary CD is too small for programs.
[05:47] <bullgard> jschall: An ordinary CD is too small for all programs.
[05:47] <DaemonFC> the alternate CD has the DEB packages like a local APT repository
[05:47] <jschall> Eremite: well the reason i need it is because for some reason the nv drivers don't seem to work on the livecd.
[05:47] <jschall> Eremite: with my 6800gt
[05:47] <DaemonFC> jschall, See if they have nouveau and change your xorg.conf to load those?
[05:47] <ZykoticK9> Eremite, i had to use "padsp festival --tts $filename"
[05:47] <Broken> Is anyone familiar with how to blank the shutdown screen on 9.10?
[05:48] <Eremite> ZykoticK9, what is padsp?
[05:48] <chmearl> my 1st ubuntu question: what is the equivalent of #rpm -ql <pkg> ?
[05:48] <ZykoticK9> Eremite, its to force PulseAudio to use DSP
[05:48] <kthomas_vh> BHoward, Semitones:  I'm logged into a remote system via ssh,  & want to get a file.  There's a syntax for that,  but I don't seem to see it there
[05:48] <Eremite> ZykoticK9, terminal returns:  "Segmentation fault"
[05:48] <ZykoticK9> Eremite, that's not good.  sorry man it's working here?
[05:49] <jschall> Eremite: so i need to get them working and then somehow run the gui
[05:49] <Semitones> kthomas_vh, example #2 is called "getting" a single file -- I think it should work! Try it and see what happens
[05:49] <jschall> Eremite: any idea how i can do that? i'd rather just get nvidia rather than nv or noveau
[05:49] <jschall> Eremite: but can i install it while running the livecd and then start x and install?
[05:50] <Eremite> jschall, that sounds possible.
[05:50] <kthomas_vh> Semitones, example 2 assumes that ucsu is your local machine
[05:50] <Eremite> jschall, I'm an INTEL guy.    Sorry, mate.
[05:51] <kthomas_vh> part A copies a file from a remote machine you are not logged into
[05:51] <Semitones> kthomas_vh, iirc, you can run scp from your local machine, without being logged in
[05:51] <kthomas_vh> part B does the same with different syntax
[05:51] <Benbong> Hi Eremite
[05:51] <kthomas_vh> yes,  but :)
[05:52] <Semitones> kthomas_vh, :D
[05:52] <Eremite> Benbong, any luck?
[05:52] <cornwall> Hi, how do you follow a running program and have it post output in a terminal?
[05:52] <kthomas_vh> I've done it a hundred times,  it's just been a while :)
[05:52] <Benbong> Eremite, not really
[05:52] <juan> test
[05:52] <Fizix> cornwall, is this a program you written?
[05:52] <juan> hi
[05:52] <Semitones> kthomas_vh, so is that all sorted out now?
[05:52] <Benbong> Eremite, I've had to use the recovery kernel, the other one was all black, and not able to access other tty
[05:53] <cornwall> Fixix, no, just a running process. I'd like to see what it's doing
[05:53] <akav> Anything more updated than gDesklets for desktop widgets?
[05:53] <Benbong> Eremite, I've tried to launch startx, but I can only see the mouse and everything else is black
[05:53] <socratesthekid> BHoward, it doesnt seem to have worked
[05:53] <kthomas_vh> Well,  no,  I still don't remember the syntax to get a file from remote to local,  when you're logged into remote,  and don't have a network name/address that local will recognize
[05:54] <juan> i want to fix the package chillispot wich is deprecated, the author continues the project under the name of coovachilli,i report the bug for chillispot on Lucid?
[05:54] <Semitones> hmm
[05:54] <Benbong> Eremite, I've been through the logs, either Xorg or messages, but nothing really interesting
[05:55] <kthomas_vh> *that remote will recognize
[05:55] <cornwall> Fizix, no, just a running process. I'd like to see what it's doing
[05:55] <Eremite> Benbong, sounds like a display driver problem.  I suggest you research how to force vesa mode.
[05:56] <bullgard> Who would like to test VoIP or viewphone = video-telephony = visual telephony using Empathy with me?
[05:56] <Benbong> Eremite, I've changed the xorg.conf by the failsafe one using vesa
[05:56] <Benbong> Eremite, and I had exactly the same thing
[05:56] <socratesthekid> so i have been trying to get ubuntu to recognize my wireless card, just ran all the madwifi stuff, still nothing
[05:56] <DylanJ> Anyone know if it's possible to install ubuntu or any distro from within wubi?  Could you open another tab in terminal, and do scp remote@host:/path/to/file /path/to/local/destination ?
[05:57] <Stevan> hey can someone help me get my external hard drive to work? its a usb drive and its not being reconginzed when I plug it in.
[05:57] <ZykoticK9> DylanJ, i seriously doubt that's possible (maybe?) -- considered using VirtualBox instead?
[05:57] <cornwall> Fizix, any ideas?
[05:58] <Semitones> kthomas_vh, where "remote" is the account name, and "host" is the location?
[05:58] <Semitones> s/account name/user name/
[05:58] <Fizix> cornwall, I'm afraid that's outside of my realm of "expertise."
[05:58] <DylanJ> ZykoticK9: Well that's the thing. I use gentoo primarily on my desktop. I just bought this netbook and i'm trying to figure out how to get linux on here without the wubi overhead.
[05:58] <cornwall> Fizix, oh, well. Thanks anyway :)
[05:58] <socratesthekid> rww, you gave me a bit of a hand earlier, any chance you could give me just a few more moments?
[05:59] <rww> socratesthekid: I'm useless at wifi carts, so unlikely
[05:59] <rww> s/carts/cards/
[05:59] <ZykoticK9> DylanJ, without USB or CDROM unless you do a network install - i've got no suggestions
[05:59] <DylanJ> hmm
[06:00] <Threetimes> I need a tool to make a DVD with an video as menu background. DVDstyler comes quite close, but it doesn't work for me.
[06:00] <socratesthekid> rww, sad story.... i guess i'll just call it a night then
[06:00] <amadeus> hello anyone know how to make ubuntu 9.10 in xface under display settings default to 75hz only?
[06:02] <Rave1>  DylanJ  maybe look at this|http://www.instantfundas.com/2007/08/install-any-linux-distro-directly-from.html
[06:02] <anto9us> cornwall, not sure if this is what you want but you can redirect output of a command to a file using > filename and you can then tail -f filename
[06:02] <cornwall> anto9us, ah, but my problem is that I can't do I'm trying to see what my cron job is doing
[06:02] <cornwall> anto9us, so while I can get the actual script to do that, I can't tell what the hell it's doing after
[06:03] <anto9us> cornwall, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_streams
[06:05] <ZykoticK9> DylanJ, Rave1's link look quite promising
[06:05] <cornwall> anto9us, thank you
[06:05] <Benbong> Eremite, I've tried a thread to force vesa, but I'm pretty sure this will not change a thing
[06:05] <Benbong> but at least, I'll try
[06:05] <Guest74311> cv
[06:05] <amadeus> I am not able to make Ubuntu 9.10 default to the sound card of my choosing, all was fine until a reboot but things like sound.conf aren't working, how can i make it default I have two sound cards
[06:05] <amadeus> Im not using pulse
[06:06] <vices1> if it says the OS is unavailable to view because its not mounted, what does that mean?
[06:06] <amadeus> just alsa
[06:07] <ZykoticK9> amadeus, if you don't get an answer here, you might want to try in #alsa too - good luck man
[06:07] <amadeus> ZykoticK9_ thanks :)
[06:08] <amadeus> ZykoticK9_ I'm only asking because Ubuntu has changed the rules again ;)
[06:08] <anto9us> vices1, I believe that's your windows partition, it should mount automatically when you click it. If it doesn't then it's because windows wasn't shut down correctly, maybe hibernated.
[06:08] <nytek_> x
[06:10] <RickX> can anyone point me to docs on how to upgrade from kde 4.1 to 4.4?
[06:11] <ZykoticK9> RickX, you'll probably find more KDE experts in #kubuntu (again, if you don't get an answer here first)
[06:11] <realsifo777> hello
[06:12] <RickX> thanks
[06:12] <realsifo777> i am still having problem with intel x3100 and compiz
[06:12] <bullgard> '~$ echo "$MAILCHECK"; 60.' What does the value '60' mean?
[06:12] <Semitones> RickX, this looks promising: http://www.ubuntuhq.com/content/how-install-kde-44-beta-ubuntu-910-karmic
[06:12] <realsifo777> anyone can help me?
[06:13] <Threetimes> I need a tool to make a DVD with an video as menu background. DVDstyler comes quite close, but it doesn't work for me.
[06:13] <RickX> Semitones, thanks. I'm using 9.04. I'll take a look
[06:14] <anto9us> bullgard, that's the value that the variable is being set to
[06:14] <Semitones> Threetimes, have you tried devede?
[06:14] <brishu> realsifo777, i think you might have more luck if you outlines your problem a littlebit ..
[06:14] <anto9us> bullgard, it's 60 seconds
[06:14] <bullgard> realsifo777: The wording "I am having problem with" is not enough. Please observe more thoroughly and tell exactly. Try to obtain an error message and report this.
[06:14] <ZykoticK9> Semitones, i suggested that as well - am told by 3x it doesn't do video menus
[06:14] <realsifo777> brishu : how to fix it?
[06:14] <Threetimes> Semitones: I have tried, but devede doesn't let me make an animated menu
[06:14] <realsifo777> my compiz is freeze
[06:15] <bullgard> anto9us: What will happen in my computer after 60 seconds?
[06:15] <michal_> how can i bind a hotkey to a launcher?
[06:15] <Semitones> Threetimes, ZykoticK9 ah, I'm sorry then, I don't know any other dvd programs :)
[06:15] <realsifo777> and when i upgrade the kernel my compiz still have bad performance
[06:15] <poet> how can I see what modules are currently compiled into the kernel?
[06:15] <anto9us> bullgard, it's not a command, it's a variable to be used by bash
[06:15] <tolarn> Can someone help with a network question?
[06:15] <ZykoticK9> Semitones, neither do i lol - great minds think alike ;)
[06:15] <Semitones> realsifo777, what are your system specs?
[06:16] <juan> !ask
[06:16] <tolarn> Lol sorry
[06:16] <juan> !ask | tolarn
[06:16] <Semitones> tolarn, shoot :)
[06:16] <realsifo777> intel core 2 duo with 1gb ram and vga intel gma x3100
[06:16] <bullgard> anto9us: I know that MAILCHECK is an environment variable. Stilll mI would like to know: " What will happen in my computer after 60 seconds?"
[06:17] <tolarn> Trying to connect to a buddys networked shared computer that we put all the music on. It doesnt have a windows password but asks for one anyway and when I leave it blank it kicks it back.
[06:17] <anto9us> poet, lsmod
[06:17] <iflema> Threetimes qdvdauthor
[06:17] <michal_> how can i run the command 'sudo modprobe -r psmouse' and enter the password with a hotkey??
[06:17] <Semitones> realsifo777, is that an integrated chipset? you might just not be able to run compiz very well
[06:17] <tolarn> Sorry was makeing sure this is the correct forum for questions
[06:17] <juan> tolarn: use a password
[06:17] <amadeus> what does Ubuntu 9.10 use for sound config, /etc/modprobe.d sound.conf? the rules have changed again i'm confused and this info isn't documented well
[06:17] <juan> tolarn: it would not let you in if theres no password
[06:17] <iflema> Threetimes or just dvdauthor
[06:18] <realsifo777> semitones : yes, but with bad performance
[06:18] <RickX> If I do a dist-upgrade, will that move to 9.10, or just install new 9.04 stuff?
[06:18] <tolarn> so I have to setup a password on his computer for it to work?
[06:18] <anto9us> bullgard, it sets the prompt
[06:18] <vices1> what tool should i use to burn a cd on ubuntu?
[06:18] <juan> tolarn: yes
[06:18] <vices1> OHHH NOOO!!
[06:18] <Semitones> vices1, brasero?
[06:18] <tolarn> Ok thankyou very much
[06:18] <juan> YW tolarn
[06:19] <juan> !brasero | vices1
[06:19] <juan> lol
[06:19] <juan> hahha
[06:19] <bullgard> anto9us: What prompt? Certainly not the terminal prompt.
[06:20] <brishu> juan, you wanted !info brasero (sorry for going ot)
[06:20] <realsifo777> maybe intel driver not good enough, any alternative?
[06:21] <juan> brishu: k
[06:21] <juan> ubottu: make me a sandwich
[06:21] <Semitones> !graphics | realsifo777, have you looked here at all?
[06:22] <anto9us> bullgard, no, it displays when you log in to a terminal
[06:22] <realsifo777> semitone, ok i will try
[06:22] <Semitones> !intel | realsifo777, have you looked here at all? (sorry, wrong link before)
[06:23] <Ponderlife> Newbie test
[06:23] <juan> test passed
[06:24] <Ponderlife> ty---now I'll read instructions
[06:27] <josephnexus> hi there
[06:27] <aiwa> hey does anybody know a good player that is not too heavy to play music and that also  updated music for last.fm tjhat i can install on ubuntu 9.10
[06:27] <josephnexus> anyone know how to get the funguloids package working in ubuntu?
[06:27] <josephnexus> i'm running 9.10
[06:28] <Semitones> !info fungaloids
[06:28] <Semitones> !info funguloids
[06:28] <Semitones> josephnexus, what seems to be the problem?
[06:28] <ZykoticK9> josephnexus, are you getting a Broken packages message when you try to install?
[06:29] <josephnexus> it fails finding dependancies
[06:29] <josephnexus> this has been a problem ever since it reached the repos a few years
[06:29] <josephnexus> I was hoping i'm just missing something
[06:29] <Semitones> let me try installing it..
[06:29] <Real_Ubot> Is there any problem running a script by cron job like every minute to check for the existens of a file?
[06:29] <josephnexus> it's in the universe repos if I remember correctly
[06:29] <ZykoticK9> josephnexus, you could report it as a bug if you felt generous
[06:29] <josephnexus> it's already been reported, multiple times
[06:29] <Real_Ubot> Is there any better way of getting aware of a missing file?
[06:30] <deity1> can a 5 years old linux distro able to read/write ext3/4 partitions?
[06:30] <mneptok> deity1: sure, as long as it has a newer kernel
[06:30] <ZykoticK9> deity1, not ext4 - that's kinda new
[06:30] <ZykoticK9> deity1, and mneptok statement is better
[06:30] <deity1> mneptok is that mean yes or no
[06:31] <mneptok> deity1: it means "yes, if you have a new kernel that supports ext4"
[06:31] <josephnexus> deity1: most likely not ext4, unless you've manually updated the kernel
[06:31] <ZykoticK9> deity1, is the 5 year old linux distro updated to a new kernel?
[06:31] <deity1> ZykoticK9 no it's not updated that's why i said  5 year old distro, if it's updated then it wouldn't be 5 years old , would it
[06:32] <ZykoticK9> deity1, distro != kernel
[06:32] <josephnexus> deity1: sometimes people run old distros, but only update the kernel
[06:32] <josephnexus> no need to be upset, we're all just trying to help...
[06:32] <josephnexus> :P
[06:32] <deity1> josephnexus  why would they update kernel and not distro?
[06:32] <josephnexus> if they had a need for very specific software
[06:32] <Colloguy> Real_Ubot: why not. If you don't want to poll, though, inotify will probably work
[06:32] <josephnexus> or certain outdated libraries
[06:33] <josephnexus> or they need to test software with older libraries, but needed better hardware support
[06:33] <ZykoticK9> deity1, if it's a 5 year old kernel - it will support ext2 and ext3 but NOT ext4 -- does that answer your question?
[06:33] <josephnexus> lots of reasons
[06:33] <deity1> ZykoticK9  yes, thanks
[06:33] <josephnexus> semitones, any luck on the install?
[06:33] <Real_Ubot> Colloguy: Ok.
[06:34] <Semitones> josephnexus, my computer decided to slow down a sec -- too early to say
[06:34] <josephnexus> ok
[06:34] <Colloguy> Real_Ubot: Or just: while true ; do [ -e <file> ] && break ; sleep 60 ; done
[06:34] <Benbong> does anyone know how to recreate a user's profile ?
[06:34] <deity1> i don't get it: it sounds really dumb to just upgrade kernel;  when you can just update to newest distro that has most recent kernel
[06:35] <Semitones> josephnexus, how do you spell it?
[06:35] <josephnexus> funguloids
[06:35] <Semitones> thanks
[06:35] <josephnexus>  sudo apt-get install funguloids
[06:35] <ajipubuntu> My 3D dekstop not work... anyone can help me?
[06:35] <josephnexus> and I et
[06:35] <Semitones> yup, depends on oger plugins -- not installable
[06:35] <josephnexus> yeah
[06:35] <Semitones> ogre
[06:35] <josephnexus> any ideas?
[06:35] <mrpink57> I would think of a kernel update as a small service pack update it offers fixes here and there but actually works vs MS
[06:35] <rlp10> I've noticed a little used package that needs updating in 9.04 which I need. I'd like to learn how to do the update in order to contribute back to the community.  Anyone point me in the right direction as to how to get started?
[06:35] <ajipubuntu> i`m using ubuntu 9.10
[06:36] <negromancer9> hi there...
[06:36] <e1b6> HI
[06:36] <negromancer9> somebody with tucan experience pls?
[06:36] <Semitones> josephnexus, your best bet is probably installing it from source, or finding another repo, until this gets fixed
[06:36] <e1b6> anyone there
[06:36] <ShapeShifter499> I'm about to try to record some songs from some old dusty records my mom has, anyone know if its ok to plug a audio-to-audio cord (one thats used to plug a mp3 player to a ipod dock) into a mini plug attachment for my stereo and the other end into my computers mic input to record?
[06:36] <Semitones> check up on the bug report -- see if it's still active
[06:36] <josephnexus> it affects many other ogre based peices of software
[06:36] <josephnexus> and it's been a bug for over a few years
[06:36] <josephnexus> it is still active...
[06:36] <Real_Ubot> Colloguy: Ok, thanks.
[06:37] <e1b6> Hi
[06:37] <ajipubuntu> my 3D Desktop on ubuntu 9.10 is not working... anyone can help me?
[06:37] <Semitones> as in, are people working on it? there might not be anything you can do, or they might have advice over at launchpad.
[06:37] <e1b6> Anyone there
[06:37] <josephnexus> http://www.cazfi.net/deb/karmic/
[06:37] <josephnexus> i found that
[06:38] <e1b6> Does Xubuntu runs on gui mode
[06:38] <Real_Ubot> Is it possible to wipe a file from within itself? Like having an option at the end of a script that says wipe thisscript.sh where wipe is at the end of thisscript.sh?
[06:38] <josephnexus> but i just find it odd that ubuntu is including uninstallable packages in their repos
[06:38] <Semitones> !hi | e1b6
[06:38] <ZykoticK9> e1b6, yes it uses XFCE
[06:38] <Stevan> can someone help me get my external usb hard drive working? it doesn't automatically detect and I can't find it.
[06:38] <Real_Ubot> I want to have a script that removes itself after execution.
[06:38] <ZykoticK9> ajipubuntu, are other compiz effects working?
[06:39] <josephnexus> thanks for all of the help
[06:39] <josephnexus> talk w/ you later
[06:39] <josephnexus> hopefully more testing goes into the LTS
[06:39] <josephnexus> take care!
[06:39] <e1b6> anyone therer
[06:39] <ZykoticK9> e1b6, after the install it should be a GUI
[06:39] <e1b6> ok i check
[06:40] <ajipubuntu> ZykoticK9: all of compiz is not working
[06:40] <ZykoticK9> ajipubuntu, what graphics card are you using?
[06:40] <Yggdrasil> does firefox have an equivelant of in private like ie ?
[06:40] <Modbin[RUS]> no
[06:41] <ajipubuntu> ZykoticK9: Intel
[06:41] <Modbin[RUS]> fox best
[06:41] <ZykoticK9> ajipubuntu, sorry man I can help you - hopefully someone else can.  Best of luck man.
[06:41] <Semitones> rlp10, still there?
[06:41] <rothsdad> hi, how to change the graph memory in kvm?
[06:42] <rlp10> Semitones, yes still here
[06:42] <bullgard> anto9us: I am sorry but I do not understand your message: "no, it displays when you log in to a terminal." Please tell me what do you mean by "it".
[06:43] <ajipubuntu> ZykoticK9: Thanks... anyway i try to find thats problem..
[06:43] <Eremite> I finally found a text-to-speech application that actually works in Ubuntu.  UBUNTU TEXT READER 3.5 http://xzcallaway.synthasite.com/
[06:43] <Semitones> rlp10, I've been told you could try asking in #ubuntu-motu -- that's the place to go to become a package maintainer, or ask about it
[06:44] <ShazbotMcNasty> hey, is there a GUI for any cd audio rippers?
[06:44] <rlp10> Semitones: Thanks, I'll check that ou
[06:44]  * rothsdad I want the change the graph memory in qemu-kvm, could anybody help me?
[06:44] <ShazbotMcNasty> a good one, that can rip in .wav or .flac
[06:44] <Eremite> ShazbotMcNasty, yes.  Look in the Add/Remove apps
[06:44] <Stevan> fdisk -l does not detect my external hard drive plugged in through usb. Any one know what I can try to fix this?
[06:44] <geirha> ShazbotMcNasty: rhythmbox
[06:44] <Semitones> ShazbotMcNasty, there are many, many, of these programs out there :)
[06:44] <Eremite> ShazbotMcNasty, convert with Audacity.
[06:44] <bullgard> '~$ echo "$MAILCHECK"; 60.' What does the value '60' mean?
[06:45] <ShazbotMcNasty> are there any as good as cdparanoia?
[06:45] <ShazbotMcNasty> but just a GUI for it?
[06:45] <Semitones> ShazbotMcNasty, most of them use cdparanoia
[06:45] <ShazbotMcNasty> o
[06:45] <Semitones> the good ones anyway
[06:45] <shamshoum> hello everybody?
[06:45] <shamshoum> !
[06:45] <ShazbotMcNasty> Semitones, do you know any names?
[06:45] <mrpink57>  Stevan try sudo fdisk -l this should detect everything even what may not be mounted
[06:45] <Semitones> ShazbotMcNasty, have you looked at SoundJuicer? There are stronger ones too (tries to remember)
[06:46] <Stevan> mrpink57: hum it only finds my internal hard drive
[06:46] <Yggdrasil> firefox does have private browsing
[06:46] <Yggdrasil> under tools
[06:46] <Semitones> ShazbotMcNasty, are you familliar with EAC at all
[06:47] <ShazbotMcNasty> I know what it is, never used it. But I'm prettymuch looking for a linux port for it.
[06:47] <bullgard> Stevan: First analyse dmesg | tail after you have plugged in your drive's USB plug anew.
[06:47] <mrpink57> Yggdrasil: there is an anonymous option in one of your drop downs if I remember, it's called "Start Private Browsing"
[06:47] <ZykoticK9> ShazbotMcNasty, my fav GUI ripper was Grip but it was dropped in Karmic (as the program isn't supported anymore), it's not GUI but "abcde" is an amazing ripper once you have it setup (not the easiest thing to do) - good luck man
[06:47] <Stevan> bullgard: http://pastebin.org/91867 thats my dmesg, I think it shows that it see 's the usb
[06:47] <Semitones> ShazbotMcNasty, In that case, RubyRipper is your best bet
[06:47] <Yggdrasil> yes, i agree
[06:47] <Yggdrasil> it is there.
[06:47] <Yggdrasil> k thanks
[06:47] <Stevan> bullgard: but i'm not sure if I'm reading it correctly
[06:48] <ShazbotMcNasty> ZykoticK9 and Semitones thank you both very much
[06:49] <bullgard> Stevan: I agree with you that your computer recognized your USB disk drive.
[06:49] <ShazbotMcNasty> also Semitones rubyripper isn't in synaptic
[06:49] <ShazbotMcNasty> i'm on 9.054
[06:49] <ShazbotMcNasty> 9.04
[06:49] <ShazbotMcNasty> lol
[06:49] <ZykoticK9> ShazbotMcNasty, i wasn't really any help - but your welcome
[06:49] <FloodBot2> ShazbotMcNasty: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:49] <Semitones> ShazbotMcNasty, o.O, hmm
[06:50] <Stevan> bullgard:  it looks like its detected as sdb, i'm going to try to manually mount it
[06:50] <ZykoticK9> ShazbotMcNasty, "apt-cache search grip" is it still there?
[06:50] <ShazbotMcNasty> It's cool, I'll find it. ZykoticK9 all I was looking for is a good program kinda like EAC .
[06:50] <ShazbotMcNasty> ZykoticK9, grip is there
[06:50] <ShazbotMcNasty> RubyRipper is not
[06:50] <ZykoticK9> ShazbotMcNasty, your lucky :p
[06:50] <realsifo777> ok thanks all
[06:51] <mneptok> ShazbotMcNasty: what's wrong with Rhythmbox or Sound Juicer?
[06:51] <Semitones> ShazbotMcNasty, this site should have it: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CDRipping
[06:52] <Semitones> mneptok, they're nice, but rubyripper is more accurate :)
[06:52] <mneptok> Semitones: "accurate?"
[06:52] <Stevan> bullgard: hum I can't mount it because I don't know what its named as
[06:54] <Semitones> mneptok, a lot of rippers are fast and dirty, so they can make mistakes. EAC and rubyripper have lots of protection against that, like ripping each track twice and making sure it's exactly the same, and a few other things
[06:54] <Semitones> submitting checksum to databases, etc
[06:55] <bullgard> Stevan: Try the program cfdisk in order to find out.
[06:55] <mneptok> Semitones: any sane Linux CD ropper developer is going to use gstreamer pipelines. and those will prdocue the same output regardless of front-end.
[06:55] <K1LL9> anyone here good with php
[06:56] <Semitones> mneptok, I'm talking about an accurate optical read -- if the cd is scratcy, the hardware has a chance of reading wrong, etc
[06:56] <K1LL9> Semitones can you help me?
[06:56] <Stevan> bullgard: this is neat, but still only showing my internal hard drive :(
[06:56] <K1LL9> i am having a problem with php
[06:56] <Semitones> I don't know anything about php, sorry :P
[06:56] <K1LL9> Semitones ok
[06:56] <K1LL9> do you know anyone else in here that does?
[06:57] <Semitones> best to just ask your question -- if they can help they will
[06:57] <rbunix> Can't locate object method "read_until" via package "IO::Socket::INET" at x line 59.
[06:57] <Stevan> K1LL9: #php would probably be a good channel to ask
[06:57] <rbunix> how i can fix this thanks
[06:57] <mrpink57> Stevan: what format is the external?
[06:57] <Stevan> mrpink57: I think it is ntfs
[06:57] <ZykoticK9> K1LL9, think its ##php actually (K1LL-9 would be even more linux cool FYI)
[06:58] <bullgard> Stevan: You can try to see if your USB drive works all right in Windows and/or in another Linux computer.
[06:58] <mrpink57> I do not personally use Ubuntu anymore but I imagine it is auto install the ntfs-3g driver?
[06:58] <K1LL9> ZykoticK9 i tried #php but not ##php
[06:58] <amadeus> If anyone is having trouble with ubuntu 9.10 missing asound.conf just copy it over from a earlier version of ubuntu :)
[06:58] <amadeus> I just figured it out
[06:58] <Stevan> bullgard: mrpink57: hum I think something might be wrong with it, I took it upstairs to my windows desktop. It was detected as well but I still could not access the external anywhere
[06:59] <K1LL9> i have this problem with php when i try and install joomla using xampp: "Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated" Can anyone help me?
[06:59] <mrpink57> Stevan: well be careful there, I had an issue similar and it was due to lacking permission even from Win to Win, I accidently put a partial lvm to mine and destroyed the whole drive.
[07:00] <Stevan> mrpink57: ah :( well i'm kinda stumped right now
[07:00] <mrpink57> Stevan: I would search in synaptic for ntfs and make sure the driver is installed
[07:00] <mrpink57> Stevan: can it be hooked up thru firewire or esata at all?
[07:01] <Stevan> mrpink57: no only usb :( and I checked for ntfs-3g, I have it.
[07:01] <sobersabre> hi. I am considering to purchase wireless PCI card TP-Link TL-WN851N
[07:01] <sobersabre> can somebody witness its working with ubuntu 9.10 ?
[07:02] <mneptok> sobersabre: are you in the US?
[07:02] <sobersabre> (it is supposedly an Atheros chipset based card)
[07:02] <mrpink57> Stevan: I imagine when it is plugged it does some sort of powerup at least?
[07:02] <sobersabre> mneptok: no, I am not. why are you asking ?
[07:02] <mneptok> sobersabre: i could then make a buying recommendation
[07:02] <Semitones> sobersabre, I remember reading a list of supported wifi cards for ubuntu somewhere..
[07:02] <ardchoille> !hcl
[07:02] <Stevan> mrpink57: you mean the hard drive? yes I can tell that it is running and my dmesg log shows that it is connected
[07:03] <sobersabre> Semitones: I did go through the "Hardware Support" card.
[07:03] <mrpink57> Stevan: but in sudo fdisk -l it does not show anything?
[07:03] <sobersabre> but its not mentioned in the table, I think b/c it has been introduced after the table was created....
[07:03] <Semitones> sobersabre, yeah, the table is quite old
[07:03] <Stevan> mrpink57: correct
[07:03] <sobersabre> Anyway, I want somebody who has tried it :)
[07:03] <Semitones> sobersabre, if it really has Atheros, you *should* be fine
[07:03] <mrpink57> Stevan: you did mean specifically sudo cause it will show a difference
[07:04] <Semitones> they're one of the best chipsets for linux
[07:04] <Stevan> mrpink57: yes I did sudo
[07:05] <Stevan> mrpink57: I use to be able to do this through a gui frontend in kde3.x but since I went to 4.x they don't have it.
[07:05] <mrpink57> Stevan: what is your file manager?
[07:05] <Stevan> mrpink57: dolphin
[07:06] <mrpink57> Stevan: ok I have not really ever used kde, but I use pcmanfm and have to put sudo in to have an external anything connect (nature of the file manager).  Maybe try that.
[07:06] <Stevan> okay ill look for it
[07:06] <mrpink57> Stevan: I do not want to point signs to the external getting a corrupted cause its hellish
[07:07] <Stevan> mrpink57:  arg :( lol
[07:07] <ScepterGhost> Hello.
[07:07] <indus> ScepterGhost, hello
[07:07] <mrpink57> Stevan: I would definately get advice from others before going right to the hdd maybe not working.
[07:07] <ScepterGhost> Is there anyone who can help me get my Wow game to work?
[07:08] <indus> ScepterGhost, using wine?
[07:08] <ScepterGhost> Yeah..
[07:08] <Stevan> mrpink57: okay I wont give up on it yet
[07:08] <toolz> всем ку!
[07:08] <toolz> это русское сообщество?
[07:09] <bullgard>  !ru | toolz
[07:09] <ScepterGhost> It is driving me nuts.
[07:09] <indus> ScepterGhost, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft
[07:09] <indus> !wow
[07:09] <Stevan> mrpink57: i've got the new file manager, how would I go about looking to mount this drive in it?
[07:09] <darolu> toolz: Нет, Английский сообщества
[07:10] <ScepterGhost> i tried that.
[07:10] <mrpink57> Stevan: I wouldnt swap file managers like that unless necessary.  I only use it because its tiny and I use dwm as my windows manager
[07:10] <ScepterGhost> i have the game installed and the wine client wont open it up.
[07:10] <ScepterGhost> for some reason all of the sudden.
[07:10] <ScepterGhost> i cant get it ito work.
[07:10] <Stevan> mrpink57: I'm just using it to try and solve this issue. I don't mind having both
[07:11] <mrpink57> Stevan: it should auto connect the device, just type sudo pcmanfm in a terminal
[07:11] <mrpink57> Stevan: does gparted see the drive?
[07:12] <AntiProxy> has anyone managed to setup Evolution to delete mail from the server after X days? i tried everything, and i'm only able to either keep mail permanently, or delete it immediately after download.. i can't get it to delete downloaded emails after say 3 days :(
[07:12] <indus> ScepterGhost, did you run it from a terminal?
[07:12] <indus> !who | ScepterGhost
[07:12] <ScepterGhost> indus: no, will that work?
[07:13] <Stevan> mrpink57: nope, neither gparted nor pcmanfm see it
[07:13] <indus> ScepterGhost, it will show you what is the error which prevents wine from running
[07:13] <Stevan> mrpink57: i can't find any signs of it other then the dmesg log
[07:13] <indus> ScepterGhost, wine <gamename>
[07:13] <indus> ScepterGhost, without those symbols
[07:13] <ScepterGhost> indus: yeah.
[07:13] <ScepterGhost> indus: hold on.
[07:14] <mrpink57> Stevan: even my corrupted drive showed up just as an unavailable format.  At this point it is beyond me.
[07:14] <Stevan> mrpink57: i guess ill try again tomorrow :)
[07:14] <Stevan> mrpink57: don't feel like dealing with it anymore
[07:14] <Stevan> mrpink57: thanks for the help though :)
[07:14] <te0> Steven: try a 'sudo partprobe' from a terminal..
[07:15] <Stevan> te0: that returns nothing
[07:16] <te0> Stevan: does an fdisk see it?
[07:16] <Stevan> te0: fdisk also doesn't see it
[07:16] <ScepterGhost> indus: nope wine <wow.exe> doesn't work.
[07:16] <indus> ScepterGhost, whatq does it say
[07:17] <ScepterGhost> wine: could not load L"C:\\windows\\system32\\wow.exe": Module not found
[07:17] <Stevan> te0: http://pastebin.org/91874 <---- this is the only evidence I have that my computer detects it
[07:17] <Semitones> ScepterGhost, make sure you cd to the directory first -- wine doesn't like it if you don't
[07:17] <indus> ScepterGhost, this is a problem with your game install
[07:17] <indus> ScepterGhost, reinstall the game i say\
[07:18] <indus> ScepterGhost, and also Semitones is right, cd to the directory,then run it with wine gamename
[07:18] <ScepterGhost> indus: how do i do that?
[07:18] <indus> ScepterGhost, or do wine /path/to/game
[07:18] <magn3ts> Is it possible to get gdb/ddd to not look hideous?
[07:18] <mrpink57> doesnt wine create the program files as two seperate words?  this confuses linux quite a bit.
[07:19] <indus> ScepterGhost, in terminal type wine ~Desktop/.wine/somewhere
[07:19] <Semitones> ScepterGhost, cd /path/to/game to change directories
[07:19] <te0> Stevan: ..thats not good.  even if it was an unreadable partition it should still be accessible to fdisk.  (no partitions even in your log, that I see)
[07:19] <Stevan> te0: yea I'm not really sure what to do
[07:20] <xdemo> Stevan, you could try putting the disk in a freezer for a while
[07:20] <darolu> mrpink57: it doesn't confuse linux, to inlcude a -space- you type "Program\ Files"
[07:20] <rbunix> Can't locate LWP/Socket.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
[07:20] <ScepterGhost> im totally confused. ive been trying to do this for 3 days.
[07:20] <Stevan> xdemo: hum I'm not sure if you're serious. will this help?
[07:20] <indus> ScepterGhost, try this  cd .wine
[07:21] <indus> ScepterGhost, did you enter wine dir?

[07:22] <indus> ScepterGhost, you should see the wow dir
[07:22] <darolu> abhiroop: try parted (command line)

[07:25] <clone1018> okay so I updated to the most recent  version of ubuntu and now when i start my computer the grub terminal comes up
[07:25] <indus> ScepterGhost, look type this wine '/home/USER/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Appdir/gamename.exe
[07:25] <abhiroop> what does it mean when I have a logicial sector size of 2048 on a USB device? Can I change it something that would work in Ubuntu?
[07:25] <kazmi> How to install Multiple destro?
[07:25] <indus> ScepterGhost, basically the syntax is $ wine '/home/USER/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Appdir/game.exe
[07:25] <abhiroop> I have tried fdisk, parted and gparted and nothing seems to work. Gparted crashes when it opens up and fdisk just does not work
[07:26] <darolu> abhiroop: you can try with fdisk too
[07:26] <indus> ScepterGhost, is that clear? or still confused?
[07:26] <ScepterGhost> indus: Hold on.

[07:27] <indus> ScepterGhost, instead of entering inside  all the way,you can run it by giving the full path of exe also
[07:27] <darolu> abhiroop: what does parted (command line) says?
[07:28] <abhiroop> darolu: when I type in "sudo parted /dev/sdb" it outputs: Warning: Device /dev/sdb has a logical sector size of 2048.

[07:32] <cyberjunk502> which is the best bluetooth driver for ubuntu
[07:32] <indus> ScepterGhost, how did you install wow?\
[07:32] <kazmi> Indus, ok thanks
[07:32] <ScepterGhost> indus: From the net.
[07:32] <indus> cyberjunk502, driver is built into the system, no separate driver needed
[07:32] <darolu> abhiroop: try with fdisk: "sudo fdisk /dev/sdb1"
[07:32] <indus> ScepterGhost, net? not original?
[07:32] <ScepterGhost> indus: they have an install on wow.com
[07:32] <abhiroop> darolu: output is: Unable to open /dev/sdb1
[07:33] <indus> ScepterGhost, is it free?
[07:33] <ScepterGhost> indus: yes.
[07:33] <ScepterGhost> Indus: you pay for the key, not the game.
[07:33] <indus> hmm wow
[07:33] <clone1018> ok so I installed ubuntu. Installed the updates and restarted. Now when ubuntu boots. it goes to a grub type terminal

[07:33] <cyberjunk502> indus, but ubuntu bluetooth stack does not support file transfers
[07:34] <indus> cyberjunk502, it does, i have transferred files from my system to my phone

[07:35] <clone1018> ok so I installed ubuntu. Installed the updates and restarted. Now when ubuntu boots. it goes to a grub type terminal
[07:35] <shamshoum> ?

[07:36] <om26er> dr-nicto, ubuntu-restricted-extras?
[07:36] <abhiroop> darolu: ok I have no partitions or anything, but I think the 2048 sectors is causing some sort of problem
[07:36] <indus> ScepterGhost, ok try with wine -vv
[07:36] <indus> ScepterGhost, and the path to game
[07:36] <Semitones> e1b6, xubuntu is the same operating system as ubuntu, just with a different skin. So the instructions on that article still apply -- try it :)
[07:36] <indus> ScepterGhost, just press up arrow, and then add the -vv to the command
[07:36] <abhiroop> darolu: what do I do to create a new partition table? The problem is basically that gparted is showing the partition as 933MB and not the full 4GB
[07:37] <dr-nicto> om26er tried it but it said it was conflicting with things but it is instaleld but videos wont work in my secondlife game
[07:37] <clone1018> ok so I installed ubuntu. Installed the updates and restarted. Now when ubuntu boots. it goes to a grub type terminal
[07:37] <clone1018> how do I get back to gdm?
[07:37] <nyqvist> hi
[07:37] <nyqvist> any1 alive?
[07:38] <pog> happyface:  sorry, I don't know details for this case. but I guess a usb-mount for ntfs should work.
[07:38] <om26er> !hi | nyqvist
[07:38] <minty-chocolate> question:  how do I reduce the size of my Vista partition with fdisk?
[07:38] <zcat[1]> minty-chocolate:  you don't... try gparted instead I think it can do it
[07:38] <om26er> minty-chocolate, explain a bit more. installed ubuntu using wubi?
[07:38] <abhiroop> darolu: tried to "create a new empty DOS partition table", output: Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite), pressed "w" and something seemed to happen. But when I open up Gparted the USB partition shows up as a 933mb "unallocated space"
[07:39] <minty-chocolate> actually, I have linux mint, a for off ubuntu.  It is almost exactly the same as Ubuntu
[07:39] <pog> minty-chocolate: vista has a functin to reduce the partition-size... be carefull, when reducing the size!!
[07:39] <clone1018> ok so I installed ubuntu. Installed the updates and restarted. Now when ubuntu boots. it goes to a grub type terminal. How would I fix this?
[07:39] <nyqvist> i need help pls.. i just installed ubuntu 9.10..i have 2 physical harddrives. each 250gb, ubuntu is installed on one.. the other hard drive i can't see...what should i do? (the other was used by windows7)...ty for the help.
[07:39] <minty-chocolate> I know, but it won't work for me
[07:39] <tomlin> how does one restore /dev ?
[07:39] <ScepterGhost> indus: i type that in and nothing happens at all.
[07:39] <tomlin> without a backup
[07:39] <abhiroop> darolu: the "o" command to create a new empty DOS partition table keeps giving me an error. Basically I think what I need to do is create a new partition table but I am unable to do this!
[07:39] <indus> ScepterGhost, hmm
[07:39] <ardchoille> minty-chocolate: no, there are fundamental differences.. you need to be in the mint channel. Mint isn't supported here
[07:39] <ScepterGhost> indus: wine '/home/USER/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/World of Warcraft/wow.exe -vv
[07:39] <om26er> clone1018, tell me you were not using wubi install?
[07:39] <indus> ScepterGhost,no no wine -vv then the path
[07:39] <zcat[1]> abhiroop:  you need more than an 'empty partition table', you need to go back to fdisk and add some partitons (one will do) and then a filesystem
[07:39] <clone1018> om26er for now I was going to use it. Until I could find a disk
[07:40] <clone1018> Whats wrong with wubi?
[07:40] <ScepterGhost> indus: ill try again.
[07:40] <darolu> abhiroop: I'm reading gparted docs, try this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/376701/
[07:40] <darolu> parted*
[07:40] <zcat[1]> abhiroop:  fdisk is not the best tool for this anyway, try gparted?
[07:40] <ScepterGhost> indus: still nothing at all happens.
[07:40] <om26er> clone1018, it is a bug in karmic after grub update
[07:40] <clone1018> om26er any way to fix it?
[07:40] <abhiroop> darolu: thanks will try it
[07:40] <indus> ScepterGhost,you type wrong
[07:41] <abhiroop> zcat: gparted is showing my 4GB partition has 933mb of unallocated space
[07:41] <indus> ScepterGhost, did you replace the USERwith your username??
[07:41] <abhiroop> zcat[1] if you have any ideas I'd like to try them
[07:41] <nyqvist> any1 can help me? :(
[07:41] <ScepterGhost> indus: oh.. hold on...
[07:41] <om26er> clone1018, I talked about wubi case you problem is not that :)
[07:41] <zcat[1]> abhiroop:  it's showing your 4G drive has no partitions.. just an empty partition table, that's what 'unallocated space' means
[07:41] <indus> ScepterGhost, wine -vv /home/yourusername/.wine/bla bla bla
[07:42] <clone1018> ugh
[07:42] <clone1018> Maybe another time
[07:42] <ScepterGhost> indus: says, -vv command not found
[07:42] <zcat[1]> abhiroop:  fdisk /dev/sdb (or whatever) again...
[07:42] <indus> ScepterGhost, buddy show me what you typed
[07:42] <indus> ScepterGhost, copy pastei t here
[07:42] <ScepterGhost> -vv wine '/home/ghost/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/World of Warcraft/wow.exe
[07:43] <coltcabana> hey guys I've got a quick question
[07:43] <coltcabana> I'm installing the latest version of ubuntu on a dell laptop
[07:43] <zcat[1]> abhiroop:  then 'n' to make a new partition, 'p' for primary, '1' to make it the first one, press enter twice to use the defaults (the whole disk)
[07:43] <indus> ScepterGhost, wine -vv \
[07:43] <coltcabana> on the live CD
[07:43] <coltcabana> my wireless card works fine
[07:43] <coltcabana> I go to the drivers menu and it says
[07:43] <nyqvist> people, no one can help me? ://
[07:43] <coltcabana> "hey here's a nasty not open driver that'll amke your wireless work"
[07:43] <ardchoille> ScepterGhost: try this:  wine -vv /home/ghost/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/World\ of\ Warcraft/wow.exe
[07:43] <om26er> !enter | coltcabana
[07:43] <coltcabana> no problem whatsoever
[07:43] <coltcabana> sorry let me rephrase
[07:44] <altNull> nyqvist - do a "fdisk -l"
[07:44] <altNull> tell me what you see
[07:44] <nyqvist> ty.. sec
[07:44] <coltcabana> okay on the live CD my wireless card works fine, on the actual install it does not, it's on a dell laptop and the "here's the nasty closed source driver you need to make it work" that I get on the live CD isn't there on the install
[07:44] <ScepterGhost> indus: wine: could not load L"C:\\windows\\system32\\-vv.exe": Module not found
[07:44] <ZykoticK9> nyqvist, you do have to use "sudo fdisk -l" FYI
[07:44] <abhiroop> darolu: OK, but shouldn't it be the whole 4gb? why is it only 933mb? I tried "mkpart primary ext2 192kb 2040mb" and got the following output: http://pastebin.com/d7f66a857
[07:44] <alabd> humble have downloaded http://www.4shared.com/file/198430073/e5471ea4/2-RBF__Zakani__Etaat__Mobarezc.html but it does not have sound  , would you check ?
[07:45] <nyqvist> em.. i see a lot of things.. just paste it here?
[07:45] <altNull> sure
[07:45] <meowbuntu> hi anyone use openbox menu woith ubuntu 9.10 i need help setting it up
[07:45] <altNull> wait
[07:45] <ardchoille> ScepterGhost: did you try my command?
[07:45] <ScepterGhost> yes
[07:45] <nyqvist> i wait.
[07:45] <nyqvist> maybe in prv? it's a lot of data.
[07:46] <ZykoticK9> !paste > nyqvist
[07:46] <altNull> http://www.copypastecode.com/
[07:46] <altNull> nyqvist - use http://www.copypastecode.com/
[07:46] <tomlin> anyone know how i might be able to put back all necessary files in /dev
[07:46] <altNull> and then send url
[07:46] <ScepterGhost> ardchoille: i typed it and it didn nothing, just went down a line,
[07:46] <zcat[1]> abhiroop:  can we make sure you have a partition table before you try and put a filesystem anywhere?
[07:46] <tomlin> i have no idea how /dev/* could be deleted
[07:46] <nyqvist> ty
[07:46] <nyqvist> done
[07:46] <altNull> url?
[07:46] <om26er> coltcabana, tried rebooting?
[07:47] <zcat[1]> abhiroop:  also it would be much easier to do this in gparted, it will do the whole allocation and formatting in one step for you.
[07:47] <abhiroop> zcat[1]: tried what you suggested and I now have a partition (I think)
[07:47] <nyqvist> http://paste.ubuntu.com/376704/
[07:47] <ZykoticK9> tomlin, /dev are devices (technically everything is a file) - i'm amazed you could delete them (you must have been root or used sudo)
[07:47] <coltcabana> om26er: I did - it has no problem at all finding that driver on the live CD, but on the actual install it doesn't do it.
[07:47] <altNull> nyqvist - your os drive is the sda
[07:47] <abhiroop> zcat[1] gparted is either crashing and when it does open up it shows a 933mb unallocated space (instead of the full 4gb)
[07:47] <altNull> your other drive sdb
[07:47] <zcat[1]> abhiroop:  I have to go now unfortunately, hopefully someone else can help. good luck
[07:47] <nyqvist> ths sdb is the drive i need, right?
[07:47] <tomlin> i have no clue how this could happen. I know dev are block files and others, but I am out of the office and need this notebook working tomorrow
[07:47] <nyqvist> so what do i need to do?
[07:48] <abhiroop> zcat[1] thanks anyway to make a fat32 partition?
[07:48] <darolu> abhiroop: yeah, you can try 4090 but you would get the same error; the documentation I read was a bout a bug report, it was kinda old (from 2 years ago) so I thought the bug probably was solved by now but it seems the bug is still there; did you try creating the partition with fdisk? those are the only tools I know to create partitions, out of helping you with these programs, I can't think of anything else :(
[07:48] <om26er> coltcabana, seems like a jockey bug
[07:48] <abhiroop> darolu thanks for the help
[07:48] <tomlin> is there a place to download /dev/* maybe?
[07:48] <abhiroop> i think I have a new partition
[07:48] <abhiroop> but I'm not sure
[07:48] <altNull> nyqvist - well its actually an lvm, not an ext setup, so there is a bit more that you need to do
[07:48] <tomlin> or get it from an iso for 8.10
[07:48] <coltcabana> om26er: is it possible there are libraries stored on the CD that aren't on the default install?
[07:49] <nyqvist> i'm listening :)
[07:49] <abhiroop> darolu: i think I have a new partition but not sure, how should I make a filesystem (fat32) on it? Gparted still crashes with following error: Device /dev/sdb has a logical sector size of 2048.  Not all parts of GNU Parted support this at the moment, and the working code is HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL.
[07:49] <om26er> coltcabana, no, some apps are on the live cd and are not in installation but they are not related to driver type of stuff.
[07:49] <altNull> nyqvist - your using ubuntu right?
[07:49] <te0> tomlin: I'm thinking you need a re-install ... I can't think of a rescue without having a valid backup.
[07:49] <nyqvist> 9.10
[07:50] <nyqvist> y
[07:50] <tomlin> oh wow
[07:50] <abhiroop> darolu: so it seems that the reason I am seeing 933mb of unallocated space (instead of the full 4gb) is because I have a logical sector size of 2048. I have to see how to change this
[07:50] <altNull> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=428292 follow the directions of the JohnnyKimble
[07:50] <altNull> that should allow you to mount
[07:50] <altNull> if you want to permantly mount you need to edit your fstab
[07:51] <ardchoille> tomlin: Did you happen to log into the root account?
[07:51] <coltcabana> om26er: weird then, I don't know what to tell you.  Works fine on the live CD but not on the install, kinda disheartening
[07:51] <tomlin> anyone know the syntax for mknod /dev/null ?
[07:51] <tomlin> i was using sudo su
[07:51] <te0> tomlin: you could maybe load a 8.10 into a vm enviroment , tar up the /dev and then restore to your machine
[07:51] <nyqvist> i see.. i'm going to try it.. coffee first :)) ty, i'll be back.
[07:51] <tomlin> but i have been running systems for 20 years. and I know I did not even attempt to rm -f /dev/*
[07:52] <ZykoticK9> abhiroop, is there anything on the drive you're having trouble with (weren't you in yesterday with the same issue?)
[07:52] <tomlin> i know it sounds crazy
[07:52] <ZykoticK9> tomlin, have you tried restart?  I'm not suggesting you do - just asking.
[07:52] <om26er> coltcabana, which wifi you have?
[07:52] <tomlin> is there perhaps a way to upgrade 8.10 to 8.10 that might put /dev back ?
[07:53] <abhiroop> ZykoticK9: first time I am bringing this issue up. It is a Sony Walkman NWZ-B143F. I accidentally formatted it on a Mac (with MSDOS-FAT) and now I can't start it up. So, trying to format it in ubuntu and having all these problems
[07:53] <tomlin> i rebooted a few times because i was and am having problem with a usb stick
[07:53] <coltcabana> om26er: let me try one last thing before we dig a little deeper
[07:53] <tomlin> that for some reason is coming up as read-only file system
[07:53] <ZykoticK9> abhiroop, oh - sorry man i don't want to touch a Walkman - was thinking it was just a drive.  Good luck man.
[07:55] <abhiroop> ZykoticK9: is there nothing I can do? This is really annoying as I can't figure out how to boot it up! I don't mind trying standard things to get it to work. Why can't it be treated like a standard USB storage device?
[07:55] <abhiroop> does anyone know how to change the sector size of a USB device so that I can use gparted?
[07:55] <ZykoticK9> abhiroop, that's was i was going to suggest - wipe whatever is on there now using the regular fdisk command and see if you can recreate a "normal" partition
[07:56] <tomlin> this might be it
[07:56] <tomlin>  mknod -m 0666 /dev/null c 1 3
[07:56] <abhiroop> ZykoticK9: yes I think I have created a "normal" partition now
[07:57] <ZykoticK9> abhiroop, i'm worried if you fdisk it might remove part of the walkman OS though - with it plugged in, what is the output of "sudo fdisk -l" - pastebin output
[07:57] <abhiroop> ZykoticK9: output of fdisk -l is now: http://pastebin.com/m61241a38
[07:58] <ZykoticK9> abhiroop, are you sure it's sdb?  that show a linux partition.
[07:58] <mecannotread> hallo
[07:58] <meowbuntu> hi anyone use openbox menu woith ubuntu 9.10 i need help setting it up
[07:58] <abhiroop> ZykoticK9: I think I may have removed the OS already! It's a little annoying.
[07:58] <abhiroop> ZykoticK9: yes I am sure it's sdb
[07:58] <abhiroop> ZykoticK9: I only have one more partition which is the hard drive itself
[07:59] <Semitones> hi mecannotread
[07:59] <ZykoticK9> abhiroop, if you are SURE it's sdb -- use "sudo fdisk sdb" and delete the partition that is there
[07:59] <abhiroop> I can't seem to find the OS or any sort of "firmware" anywhere online.
[07:59] <bazhang> http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Contents meowbuntu check the getting started link
[07:59] <ZykoticK9> abhiroop, sorry "sudo fdisk /dev/sdb"
[08:00] <abhiroop> ZykoticK9: what would that do? I have been deleting and re-adding the partition all day. In fact someone suggested deleting the partition and adding it a little while back so I did that and now this is what I am left with
[08:00] <ZykoticK9> abhiroop, you have a LINUX partition on there right now - and that CAN'T be right!
[08:00] <abhiroop> ZykoticK9: thats what happened after I deleted the partition using fdisk and re-added it using fdisk
[08:01] <nyqvist> altNull here?
[08:01] <ZykoticK9> abhiroop, when you create the partition you have to manually tell it to create an MS parition
[08:01] <abhiroop> ZykoticK9: ok I should I do that?
[08:02] <abhiroop> ZykoticK9: deleted the partition, what should I do to create a partition that is FAT32?
[08:02] <ZykoticK9> abhiroop, ? i don't know man -- i realize you're having problems (and getting info from lots of people) but i don't know how to fix your walkman - your best bet might be to try again under Windows or Mac...
[08:03] <meowbuntu> what do i use instead of alt-ctrl-backspace it not working in ubuntu 9.10
[08:03] <abhiroop> ZykoticK9: thanks for the help, Windows 7 does not read it at all and the Mac formatting is what started all these problems :S
[08:03] <ZykoticK9> meowbuntu, alt+sysrq+k
[08:03] <rww> ubottu: dontzap | meowbuntu
[08:03] <ZykoticK9> abhiroop, Win7 won't be able to see a linux parition
[08:04] <abhiroop> ZykoticK9: it was unable to see the Mac formated "MSDOS" partition as well
[08:04] <abhiroop> ZykoticK9: it said: "failed to install driver" of a "MTP USB device"
[08:04] <ZykoticK9> abhiroop, as i said - ?
[08:04] <Jarr> Hey guys, I have a PPTP VPN server setup on Karmic. I can get about 4 minutes of connection from the box, after that is drops out. I am getting an error in the logs which I can't understand. Can someone help me decipher it?
[08:05] <tomlin> this is ever so strange. I recreated /dev/null, removed usb key that keeps coming up as read-only file system, rebooted and now /dev/ looks normal with all the files
[08:05] <tomlin> it was empty before rebooting
[08:05] <tomlin> ok so what am i missing here that i cannot understand how this can happen
[08:06] <ZykoticK9> tomlin, i did ask for a reason ;)
[08:06] <tomlin> you asked if i rebooted before, and i said yes
[08:06] <abhiroop> ZykoticK9: thanks anyway guess I'll have to take it back to sony. Do you know any way to change the "sector size" i thin k the fact that it is using a 2048 sector size is causing problems
[08:06] <tomlin> then i found how to recreate /dev/null
[08:06] <tomlin> did that
[08:06] <ZykoticK9> abhiroop, no idea
[08:06] <tomlin> then rebooted and removed usb key before post started
[08:08] <abhiroop> ZykoticK9: thanks
[08:08] <abhiroop> does anyone know hot change the sector size of a USB device?
[08:08] <ZykoticK9> abhiroop, i didn't do anything...
[08:09] <abhiroop> ZykoticK9: you tried :P
[08:09] <ZykoticK9> abhiroop, what model was it again?
[08:09] <tomlin> still though, usb stick is not right
[08:09] <itsosimpo> how do i disable r8169?
[08:09] <abhiroop> ZykoticK9: NWZ-143F (series B)
[08:09] <tomlin> /dev/sdc on /media/8GBWIN98 type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,utf8,umask=077,flush)
[08:10] <itsosimpo> i tried /etc/modules.d/blacklist-oss.conf and blacklist.conf
[08:10] <darolu> abhiroop: I've been reading some docs; sadly found this: Since "the MO media use a form of hard sectoring, you cannot really reformat with a different sector size as you can with fully magnetic media."
[08:10] <abhiroop> darolu: thanks, really annoying!
[08:12] <ZykoticK9> abhiroop, have you simply tried using the reset button?
[08:12] <darolu> abhiroop: I also read about a bug in the linux kernel that doesn't allow formatting 2048 sector drives, these docs are rather old though, the latest is from 2008
[08:12] <itsosimpo> hello, how do you disable r8169...i tried blacklisting r8169 in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-oss.conf and blacklist.conf, but it still shows up when i lsmod
[08:13] <abhiroop> ZykoticK9: did try reset (many time)
[08:13] <guntbert> itsosimpo: you did reboot in between?
[08:14] <ZykoticK9> abhiroop, sorry i'm not finding anything in my searching -- good luck man, hope you get it figured out.
[08:14] <itsosimpo> guntbert: yes
[08:14] <abhiroop> ZykoticK9 and darolu: ok here is what I did, deleted the partition, then created a new one using fdisk, then changed the partition to FAT32 and it worked! FINALLY! Thanks for all the help guys, really annoying and honestly ubuntu is the best, Mac formatted in some funny format and Windows would not even read it :D:D:D
[08:14] <ZykoticK9> abhiroop, glad you fixed it :)
[08:15] <amortiser> hello
[08:15] <drwho> hey I have a question, I want to install ubuntu over my current OS but I have no way to move all my music, movies, and picture files to another storage device. Is there a way to install and be able to keep the files?
[08:15] <amortiser> I have a problem when i want to open firefox, I clik on it but nothing happens
[08:15] <amortiser> can anyone help?
[08:15] <Semitones> drwho, which doctor are you?
[08:15] <drwho> amortiser, have you tried rebooting?
[08:15] <amortiser> ubuntu 9.10
[08:16] <amortiser> yes
[08:16] <amortiser> many times
[08:16] <darolu> abhiroop: I'm glad it finally worked; now you only need to load firmware, good luck.
[08:16] <drwho> what about the system monitor?
[08:16] <amortiser> what about it?
[08:16] <drwho> does firefox show up?
[08:16] <amortiser> tell me what to do
[08:16] <Semitones> drwho, you could dual boot, copy the files over, and then make ubuntu take the whole hard disk
[08:17] <drwho> Semitones, I'll have to check if I have enough room to do that but I will try that
[08:17] <drwho> thanks
[08:17] <abhiroop> darolu: no no it seems to have loaded fine, as in it now boots up and I can browse my music, etc. without any problems
[08:17] <Semitones> drwho, good luck doctor!
[08:17] <drwho> amortiser, go to system>administrator>system monitor
[08:17] <drwho> start firefox and see if it shows up
[08:17] <darolu> abhiroop: oh excellent, seems like it has the firmware loaded on eproms, glad to hear it's working fine
[08:18] <abhiroop> darolu: yes, feels good..haha...spent about 3 hours on it today, but glad it works!
[08:18] <drwho> Semitones, thanks I hope to get this windows 7 crap off my comp
[08:18] <abhiroop> new question (not really a problem) I just bought a new desktop so I want to use my laptop as a sort of fast booting netbook. could anyone suggest an OS that boots very fast? I don't want something that is too slimmed down or which has problems installing software, just something that boots up fast and allows me to get onto the net quickly...any suggestions?
[08:19] <TheMusicGuy> I'm having issues getting my bluetooth headset to work with Ubuntu using the a2dp profile.
[08:19] <amortiser> I just did, no it does not
[08:19] <TheMusicGuy> It worked for a moment, but now it makes things crash.
[08:19] <Semitones> drwho, good luck -- although I kind of like 7 -- keep it around for games mostly :P
[08:19] <TheMusicGuy> Sco profile seems to work, though.
[08:19] <ZykoticK9> abhiroop, if you can wait 73 days Lucid will be out - it boots real fast!
[08:19] <zslashz> hello
[08:20] <drwho> amortiser, what about in the console is the firefox command there?
[08:20] <drwho> as in type in fire then press tab
[08:20] <om26er> !hi | zslashz
[08:20] <thecliff> 73 days is so long.  excited nonetheless.
[08:20] <zslashz> kinda have a problem with Authorware Web Player
[08:20] <amortiser> I am sory when you say console?
[08:20] <zslashz> any alternatives or work arounds?
[08:20] <abhiroop> ZykoticK9: thanks I do intend to use Lucid when it comes out but I need something for now, as in my laptop is running slowly now and I will reformat and I was wondering if there was a faster option than Karmic
[08:20] <Semitones> abhiroop, chrome os and lucid lynx, though they are both in production. other than that, I don't know
[08:20] <zslashz> ive googled it..checked ubuntu forums etc
[08:20] <drwho> amortiser, sorry terminal
[08:20] <ZykoticK9> abhiroop, not that i know of
[08:21] <Semitones> abhiroop, you could always install lubuntu
[08:21] <abhiroop> Semitones: chrome OS is obviously a good option, and I don't mind something that is "alpha"...what is lubuntu?
[08:21] <ae86-drifter> im using the latest samba with ubuntu, all my linux and windows machines see it fine, my macbook sees the samba server's name, but cannot open it, i just get connection failed.
[08:21] <xodx> so here's my stupid user trick for today. I just launched xlock from /etc/gdm/PostLogin/Default, which was stupid because it's owned by root, and now xlock is trying to log me in as the root user. buut as far as I know there's not really a root password. so, recommended course of action, anyone?
[08:21] <amortiser> Ok i have opened terminal, now what?
[08:21] <abhiroop> Semitones: lubuntu looks good
[08:21] <drwho> amortiser, type fire then press tab twice
[08:21] <Semitones> abhiroop, it's a lightweight environment using lxde -- I'm using it now :)
[08:21] <zslashz> anyone??
[08:21] <om26er> !lubuntu
[08:22] <xodx> i mean, for getting rid of the xlock instance nicely.
[08:22] <drwho> amortiser, "firefox" and/or "firefox-3.5" should show up
[08:22] <amortiser> it dit
[08:22] <drwho> did?
[08:22] <amortiser> yes
[08:22] <TheMusicGuy> !a2dp
[08:22] <abhiroop> Semitones: thanks, what is the boot-up like? and do normal apps/programs function normally? How about the Ubuntu Netbook Remix? I have a normal laptop so I don't really need it but heard its pretty good
[08:22] <drwho> type firefox and see if it starts up amortiser
[08:22] <coltcabana> om26er: there's absolutely drivers and stuff that are nto included in the default install that are on the live CD
[08:22] <coltcabana> om26er: I had to plug in a wired connection and update everything to get my wireless to work
[08:23] <zslashz> Authorware Web Player anyone?
[08:23] <amortiser> it shoed "GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times"
[08:23] <Semitones> abhiroop, startup is the same speed, unfortunately, but it's not bad. It runs the same apps as ubuntu, but comes with lighter weight defaults pre-installed. I've never used netbook remix, but it sounds good!
[08:24] <abhiroop> Semitones: thanks, think I'll just reformat and install Ubuntu karmic
[08:24] <abhiroop> thanks for all the help guys!
[08:24] <Semitones> good luck
[08:24] <drwho> amortiser, that means there is more then one firefox started
[08:25] <e3a23> hi
[08:25] <amortiser>  there is nothing open,,,,,,
[08:25] <zslashz> anyone help...
[08:25] <drwho> amortiser, hold on
[08:25] <drwho> let me check something
[08:26] <amortiser> ok thanks
[08:27] <xodx> hey! what do you know, killing the process works fine. nevermind.
[08:27] <ZykoticK9> zslashz, i got it working (i think)
[08:28] <ZykoticK9> zslashz, know of a page/method i can test with?
[08:28] <rumpsy> Where can i find ogg player for java mobile
[08:28] <ZykoticK9> zslashz, i don't even really know what this plugin is for
[08:29] <drwho> ok amortiser go to the terminal and type "pgrep firefox | xargs ps"
[08:29] <drwho> without the "
[08:30] <amortiser> PID TTY          TIME CMD
[08:30] <amortiser>  3221 pts/0    00:00:00 bash

[08:30] <FloodBot2> amortiser: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:30] <drwho> use pastebin amortiser
[08:30] <amortiser> i did and it showed the above
[08:31] <TheMusicGuy> I'm having issues with bluetooth a2dp. I can get playback for a second or so, then output stops, and things sometimes crash. If I switch to Sco profile, I get can (poor quality) audio, but sometimes I can't switch back to a2dp afterwards.
[08:31] <drwho> amortiser, ok that means it is not running
[08:31] <drwho> hm
[08:31] <m_anish_> TheMusicGuy: what is the make of the headphone?
[08:31] <drwho> that is weird
[08:32] <TheMusicGuy> Motorola HT820
[08:33] <m_anish_> TheMusicGuy: How have you tried to make it work?
[08:33] <drwho> amortiser, I say try reinstalling firefox
[08:33] <drwho> through synaptic
[08:33] <TheMusicGuy> I paired the headphones with the bluetooth icon on the system tray. That worked just fine, it detected the correct device type and everything.
[08:33] <ZykoticK9> zslashz, nope looks like i don't have it working afterall :(  but you aren't replying so guess it's not a big deal.
[08:34] <drwho> amortiser, I'll be here again I am still cleaning off my hard drive to install ubuntu
[08:34] <TheMusicGuy> But to get the device to show up in the hardware tab of sound preferences, I had to use a long command:
[08:34] <TheMusicGuy> gconftool -t string -s /system/gstreamer/0.10/default/musicaudiosink "sbcenc ! a2dpsink device=00:07:A4:B6:C2:25"
[08:34] <drwho> but tell me if it happens again
[08:34] <TheMusicGuy> I don't remember where I got the command.
[08:35] <e3ab> hi
[08:35] <amortiser> ok how can i do that
[08:35] <e3ab> heloo
[08:36] <m_anish_> TheMusicGuy: Ok, that seems like pretty much the command I use too... However, I have created an additional bluetooth device in my .asoundrc file and give its name instead... Also you may try the howto's on the 'bluez' website
[08:36] <Semitones> !hi
[08:36] <e3ab> hi
[08:36] <ZykoticK9> zslashz, it's working!  just had to restart Firefox!  you don't seem to be around though - so it's all for nothin'
[08:37] <zslashz> it doesnt
[08:37] <zslashz> its only for a certain web page
[08:37] <bullgard> '~$ echo "$MAILCHECK"; 60.' What will change in my computer after '60' seconds?
[08:37] <zslashz> that does that error
[08:37] <zslashz> and keeps asking me to install plugin
[08:37] <meee> Hi, I've just upgraded from (Ubuntu 9.04) to (Ubuntu 9.10) and I have exactly the same problems with firefox, mentioned here  (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1344501).
[08:37] <meee> any ideas?
[08:37] <ZykoticK9> zslashz, follow the directions on this page to install Firefox under wine with Winetricks then the plugin for windows works!  http://sites.google.com/site/lucidlynxdreams/how-tos/cbc-video-working-on-ubuntu
[08:37] <drwho> wow lots of firefox problems
[08:38] <drwho> ubuntu needs a new browser lol
[08:38] <ZykoticK9> drwho, it's call Chromium lol
[08:38] <Semitones> if you don't mind switching browsers you could install chrome :)
[08:38] <zslashz> done that...
[08:38] <m_anish_> TheMusicGuy: http://wiki.bluez.org/wiki/HOWTO/AudioDevices
[08:39] <ZykoticK9> zslashz, what page are you testing with?  the Test page works.
[08:39] <zslashz> there is this plugin  called shockwave for director on firefox
[08:39] <Semitones> meee, have you tried "complete uninstall" from synaptic, and install again?
[08:39] <zslashz> that doesnt seem to work
[08:39] <meee> iceroot: remember about my problems with Karmic's Firefox? I could finally find another 2 persons reporting them : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1344501
[08:39] <bullgard> meee: Please do not use a language from behind the woods. Rather, use Standard English. I do not know the slang word 'wonky' and thus cannot help you.
[08:39] <zslashz> and the test page on adobe itself doesn
[08:39] <zslashz> t
[08:39] <meee> Semitones: Yes
[08:39] <Semitones> hmm
[08:39] <zslashz> what are u using
[08:39] <zslashz> firefox or opera?
[08:39] <meee> bullgard: That's not my topic dude!
[08:40] <ZykoticK9> zslashz, adobe's test page is working for me
[08:40] <meee> bullgard: although it has details if you read it
[08:40] <ZykoticK9> zslashz, here in channel please!
[08:40] <zslashz> ok sorry
[08:40] <zslashz> u usinf firefox ?
[08:40] <ZykoticK9> zslashz, Firefox 3.6 (windows version)
[08:41] <zslashz> ok thanks..that doesnt work still
[08:41] <opensanta> is there a guide for setting up bridged networking using virt-manager?  I have virt-install working already, but virt-manager won't let me use the bridge
[08:42] <meee> any ideas about this? (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1344501)
[08:42] <ZykoticK9> opensanta, that's probably the biggest advantage VirtualBox has over KVM right now - Bridge networking is just a click away in VBox -- and a big pain under KVM.  I did it a couple years ago - don't remember the steps at all sorry
[08:45] <opensanta> ZykoticK9: I have the bridge working on the command line, but virt-manager the last leg in my setup
[08:46] <ZykoticK9> opensanta, as i said it's been years i really don't remember (haven't had KVM or Qemu installed since VBox took me over)
[08:47] <clex_> kurwa ;u
[08:47] <m_anish_> TheMusicGuy: I was away for the last 5-10 mins... Any updates?
[08:47] <TheMusicGuy> m_anish_: I'm not sure
[08:48] <TheMusicGuy> I'm experimenting
[08:48] <rumpsy> how to clear system cache memory?
[08:49] <rumpsy> its 70% here
[08:49] <ZykoticK9> zslashz, http://imagebin.org/84869 now tell me again that it "doesnt work still"
[08:49] <TheMusicGuy> m_anish_: rythmbox won't play consistently
[08:49] <m_anish_> ok ... FYI, I have a dell BH200 and adding the bluetooth pcm device in my asoundrc and then using the following command gconftool -t string -s /system/gstreamer/0.10/default/musicaudiosink "alsasink device=bluetooth" works for me out of the box....
[08:50] <bullgard> What is the function of the environment variable ORBIT_SOCKETDIR=/tmp/orbit-detlef?
[08:50] <m_anish_> TheMusicGuy: rhythmbox is able to stream music to my headphones after that
[08:50] <TheMusicGuy> m_anish_: it will play for a few seconds, or until I pause, then it freezes and the headphones play a very low, soft buzzing sound (like their getting null audio data.)
[08:53] <xjkx> whats the difference between apt-get upgrade and dist-upgrade while the I have the latest ubuntu version ? I am using 9.10, and dist-upgrade has a bigger list. i'd understand they'd add some kernel updates but there are more than that
[08:54] <xjkx> the manpage doesn't specify a good difference between them
[08:54] <TheMusicGuy> m_anish_away: well, my system basically just crashed.
[08:55] <TheMusicGuy> first Chrome and the system tray both crashed, then I lost internet, and everything started going really slow.
[08:55] <ZykoticK9> zslashz, actually you're right - i can't seem to actually click on any of the icons :(  so only partially working i'm affraid
[08:56] <TheMusicGuy> It seemed to happen in response to several things trying to connect to the headphones at once...I guess.
[08:56] <bullgard> xjkx: It's more complicated than that. (But that's all I know.)
[08:56] <meee> Hi, I've just upgraded from (Ubuntu 9.04) to (Ubuntu 9.10) and I have exactly the same problems with firefox, mentioned here  (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1344501).
[08:56] <eto> hello
[08:57] <xdemo> meee, im not sure about the firefox problem, but doing a clean install usually fixes alot of common updgrade issues.... if that helps
[08:57] <bullgard> !ask | eto
[08:57] <eto> is there a way to run xprogram right after login screen instead of shell ?
[08:58] <eto> bullgard: ?
[08:58] <TheMusicGuy> you mean startup applications?
[08:58] <meee> xdemo: thanks. I don't want to loose my installed stuffs
[08:59] <TheMusicGuy> eto: system > preferences > startup applications
[08:59] <meee> xdemo: Are you using Karmic? Is it stable?
[08:59] <xdemo> been using 64bit version since release, id say its stable
[08:59] <bullgard> eto: You should write your program's command in System > Applications  > Startup Applications > Startup Programs.
[08:59] <hunter-12> всем привет
[09:00] <bullgard> eto: You should write your program's command in System > Applications  > Startup Applications > Startup Programs > Add.
[09:00] <eto> TheMusicGuy, bullgard: okay so I add rdesktop client cmdline there and default gnome shell won't start? just to be sure
[09:00] <bullgard> !ru | hunter-12
[09:01] <hunter-12> sorry ))
[09:01] <TheMusicGuy> eto: It will start in addition to the rest of thing things in that list.
[09:02] <Tarek> i have diffuclties in handling thems in ubuntu
[09:03] <Tarek> no theme i installed and works like it should
[09:03] <bullgard> eto: I do not understand your English. Please say it in other words.
[09:03] <kop_> eto  put /usr/bin* in the list ... actually erm , no
[09:03] <eto> TheMusicGuy:  excuse me but i see there plenty of entries but none of them is gnome shell, can i disable the gnome shell for certain users alltogether?
[09:03] <Tarek> is there any site for learning how to handle themes
[09:04] <eto> kop_:  yeah trying to be funny?
[09:04] <kop_> couldn't help so ..
[09:04] <ae86-drifter> can someone post a really good regex that they use for validating emails
[09:04] <TheMusicGuy> eto: you cannot "disable" gnome-terminal. It is something that users simply start by running the command gnome-terminal.
[09:05] <TheMusicGuy> it does not start unless its told to explicitly, just like everything else.
[09:05] <koltroll> TheMusicGuy, aha! But how can they run a command without a terminal!!
[09:05] <TheMusicGuy> alt-f2
[09:05] <koltroll> :(
[09:05] <kop_>  heh
[09:05] <TheMusicGuy> or the applications menu.
[09:05] <ardchoille> TheMusicGuy: he meant gnome-shell
[09:05] <anirban_> nick rocket16
[09:06] <eto> ah sorry maybe i am saying bullshit - i come from windows/dos background by shell i meant desktop and taskbars providers -> the programs which draw "start" buttons and desktop icons
[09:06] <TheMusicGuy> oh. I'm not familiar with that, sorry.
[09:06] <ardchoille> !info gnome-shell
[09:06] <eto> can i disable those? i want just the rdesktop client
[09:09] <TheMusicGuy> eto: you may want to check out metacity and/or compiz, depending on whether or not you're using composite desktop effects (ie. "Visual Effects")
[09:10] <eto> well right now i am reading about gnome shell somebody posted info about
[09:10] <TheMusicGuy> I'm pretty sure metacity is responsible for things like drawing the window border and titlebars, and is possibly related to the panels as well
[09:10] <Madpilot> eto, gnome-shell isn't in use yet, at least not in Ubuntu
[09:10] <eto> i see
[09:11] <mrwizeguy1983> is there a room for help with sound?
[09:11] <TheMusicGuy> mrwizeguy1983: a channel specifically for Ubuntu sound issues?
[09:11] <TheMusicGuy> not likely.
[09:11] <mrwizeguy1983> that's the question, might be a dumb one, but it's the one i meant to ask
[09:11] <mrwizeguy1983> i have an odd sound problem
[09:12] <TheMusicGuy> well, ask it here
[09:12] <mrwizeguy1983> i installed ubuntu 9.10 on my new laptop today
[09:12] <mrwizeguy1983> finally worked through some unpleasantness with the video AND the wifi card
[09:12] <eto> well after some clicking i got to revelation the panel is provided by gnome panel, but there is no entry for that in startup applications
[09:12] <mrwizeguy1983> anyways, the sound only works via headphones
[09:13] <Madpilot> eto, if you need to restart gnome-panel, "killall gnome-panel" in a terminal - it'll auto-restart
[09:13] <mrwizeguy1983> TheMusicGuy, do you have any ideas on that one?
[09:13] <eto> thank you all i think i am getting close, i will now read about gnome panel
[09:13] <mrwizeguy1983> i think it's odd that the sound only works via headphones
[09:13] <mrwizeguy1983> i don't even know yet if the mic works
[09:14] <TheMusicGuy> mrwizeguy1983: check the sound preferences for audio device settings?
 my 2 cents : right click the sound icon near the time, click Sound Preferences, a windows will pop up, the 4th tab is Output, click your audio device, than in the Connector tab (near the close button) select Analog output
[09:15] <TheMusicGuy> It seems like the audio system changes drastically with each new release of Ubuntu. I've only just started using 9.10, so I'm not aware of the particulars yet.
[09:15] <bullgard> What is the function of the environment variable ORBIT_SOCKETDIR=/tmp/orbit-detlef?
[09:16] <mrwizeguy1983> didn't find any connector tabs
 : for mic : right click the sound icon, click Preferences, go to Input, and move the slider on Input volume, than you will see, if the microphone is working properly
[09:16] <septim> is it possible to load picture 2b background of gnome start menu
[09:17] <migis> hello
[09:17] <migis> does anybody know if google chrome runs on xubuntu?
[09:17] <mrwizeguy1983> works great on regular ubuntu, idk about xubuntu
[09:18] <TheMusicGuy> migis: it should run anywhere X can run.
[09:18] <P1PeNGoD> gg
[09:18] <FeasibilityStudy> It works on KDE as well, but it's very buggy imo
 : check my mouse cursor
[09:18] <FeasibilityStudy> at least the Chromium builds are buggy
[09:18] <TheMusicGuy> migis: if you use the .deb installer from Google, it should automatically determine and install dependencies.
[09:19] <migis> i am downloading the .deb file now. will check if it works in a few seconds.
[09:19] <TheMusicGuy> (technically .deb is just a package, but you know what I mean)
[09:19] <mrwizeguy1983> TheMusicGuy, i still haven't found any tabs called connector
[09:19] <TheMusicGuy> no, not connector, Hardware.
[09:19] <TheMusicGuy> that's what it is on my system, anyway.
[09:19] <l3ns> hi
[09:19] <mrwizeguy1983> ah, that i do have TheMusicGuy
[09:20] <mrwizeguy1983> all it has is internal audio
[09:20] <l3ns> any movie maker available in ubuntu?
[09:20] <mrwizeguy1983> it's set to analog stereo duplex
[09:20] <TheMusicGuy> Try different settings, One of them may work.
[09:20] <TheMusicGuy> for the profile, I mean
[09:20] <mrwizeguy1983> i checked these settings before, but i don't fully know what i'm doing or i wouldn't be here asking for help lol
[09:20] <mrwizeguy1983> i'm not aware of any "profile" are there settings i'm missing?
[09:21] <TheMusicGuy> In the Hardware tab. Click your audio device (Internal Audio), then at the bottom, there should be a menu called Profile.
[09:21] <itai> hi, i tried to install MSfonts but got an error cause apt couldn't find the sourcforge website, the thing is that now whenever i use apt it keeps trying to install those fonts, is there a way to tell it top stop trying ?

[09:29] <septim> itai: go to any site that offer .exe download
[09:30] <shaullx> anyone has any idea how to install ubuntu from an external usb hdd?
[09:30] <TheMusicGuy> mrwizeguy1983: Okay, I just did an experiment, and I *think* I have an idea. On the hardware tab, under Profile, select "Analog Stereo Duplex," or the closest one to it. Then, on the Output tab, there is an option at the bottom called "Connector." From the menu there, select "Analog Output."
[09:30] <shaullx> i tried with unetbootin but it won't boot
[09:30] <Kohar> itai did you try aptitude to install?
[09:30] <itai> septim, and ...?
[09:30] <Jordan_U> itai, I thought you just wanted it to give up. There is probably a way to get it to work if you actually want the MS fonts.
[09:30] <septim> itai: and try download it
[09:31] <mrwizeguy1983> TheMusicGuy, i'm on 9.10.  i have hardware input output and applications (and sound effects but that isn't useful)
[09:31] <itai> Jordan_U, at the moment i want apt back, but i gusss i would want the fonts in the future
[09:31] <shaullx> anyone?
[09:31] <itai> Kohar, i used the link at the ubuntu wiki website
[09:31] <mrwizeguy1983> under out put i have choose a device for sound output TheMusicGuy but only one thing is there
[09:32] <Jordan_U> itai, "sudo apt-get remove msttcorefonts" should get apt back.
[09:32] <vlt> Hello. On Ubuntu 9.10 there seems to be a problem with rdesktop and some [Shift]+[key] combinations. I'm not able to use "/", "=", ">", ";" ... Any idea how to solve this?
[09:32] <TheMusicGuy> mrwizeguy1983:  What is the setting for Profile under the Hardware tab?
[09:32] <itai> septim, i just downloaded an exe from microsoft and it runs fine under wine
[09:32] <mrwizeguy1983> hardware doesn't say profile, it says choose a device to configure and settings for the selected device TheMusicGuy
[09:32] <meborc> vlt: this is due to the different language settings on your windows box... set it to english on both and try then
[09:33] <Persi> vlt: are you using the correct keyboard locale?
[09:33] <TheMusicGuy> mrwizeguy1983: do you know how to do a screenshot?
[09:33] <mrwizeguy1983> internal audio is the only thing available under device and it's selected, the profile (which i apparently must be too tired and didn't see the word before) is analog setereo duplex
[09:33] <TheMusicGuy> mrwizeguy1983: okay, that helps. :)
[09:33] <vlt> Persi: I dont't know. Just ran `rdesktop -f <server>`. What is used as default setting?
[09:34] <KamaL> hi all.. I have ubunut server 9.04 on a VPS, I installed the desktop pack on it, but now when I type STARTX I get this error log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/376753/
[09:34] <vlt> Persi: ... and how to select the correct one?
[09:34] <shaullx> anyone has any idea how to install ubuntu from an external usb hdd? i tried with unetbootin but it wont boot, i need it to install on my netbook
[09:34] <vlt> meborc: I can't set the language stting to English on the server.
[09:34] <TheMusicGuy> mrwizeguy1983: under the Output tab, down at the bottom where it says Connector, what does option is selected?
[09:35] <mrwizeguy1983> internal audio analog stereo
[09:35] <itai> shaullx, is there an OS on that machine? unetbb\ooting worked for me
[09:35] <Persi> vlt:  I don't know how to do it on cli
[09:35] <meborc> vlt: so server has no graphical user interface? just the command line?
[09:35] <Kohar> vlt rdesktop -k en-us -f server
[09:35] <TheMusicGuy> mrwizeguy1983: I'm not talking about that
[09:35] <TheMusicGuy> mrwizeguy1983: hold on
[09:35] <vlt> Kohar: I'll try, thanks
[09:35] <shaullx> itai:nope i tried to install with wubi i had win7 and somehow i messed it all up so now when i power on it just say "Missing operationg system"
[09:35] <Jordan_U> !install | shaullx
[09:36] <mrwizeguy1983> http://tinypic.com/r/52nggg/6
[09:36] <itai> shaullx, how about from USB?
[09:36] <bb__> thanks for your inviting
[09:36] <TheMusicGuy> does anyone know of an image pastebin besides imagebin.ca?
[09:36] <shaullx> itai:it is USB but not a flash drive its a small hdd
[09:37] <mrwizeguy1983> http://tinypic.com/r/264o0fr/6  TheMusicGuy
[09:37] <itai> shaullx, someone just posted the link to that , check it out
[09:37] <mrwizeguy1983> TheMusicGuy, tinypic.com is like an image pastebin, the one i just used to send you that
[09:38] <shaullx> itai:i'm looking but nothing usefull for me there i gues
[09:38] <pog> minty-chocolate: /join #evolution
[09:38] <TheMusicGuy> mrwizeguy1983:  okay...it looks like you don't even have the option I'm trying to get you to set. :P
[09:38] <vlt> Kohar: That doesn't work. Then a lot of keys like "ä", "-", ";" ... are wrong
[09:39] <shaullx> itai:i mean i dont even get to the setup screen im not talking about booting the live screen
[09:39] <TheMusicGuy> mrwizeguy1983: This is what my sound options look like: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=30sj3pw&s=6
[09:39] <vlt> meborc: The server has a gui. What could I try to do?
[09:40] <itai> shaullx, you need to find a link to installing ubuntu from usb, your hdd will work the same
[09:40] <meborc> vlt: is that a windows machine you are connecting to?
[09:40] <TheMusicGuy> mrwizeguy1983: try changing the Profile option (in hardware tab) to different values until the Connector option (in output tab) becomes available.
[09:40] <meborc> vlt: if so, just use the language settings...
[09:40] <vlt> meborc: Yes, I tried several machines (XP, w2008)
[09:41] <itai> shaullx, like thi s maybe : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick?
[09:41] <vlt> meborc: What does that mean "use the langhuage settings"?
[09:41] <vlt> meborc: A "-k" option for rdesktop?
[09:41] <Guest98550> hi. is there anyone who can help me install a theme? i have tried clicking and dragging aswell as through the terminal. ( http://pastebin.com/m24eaadc0 ) and my icons still dont show up. can anyone point me in the right direction ?
[09:41] <meborc> vlt: what layout are you using on your machine? the keyboard layout... english? estonian...?
[09:41] <dad__> hi
[09:41] <vlt> meborc: de_DE
[09:41] <mrwizeguy1983> out of 4 options it never became available TheMusicGuy
[09:42] <TheMusicGuy> darn...well, I'm out of ideas.
[09:42] <dad__> Im after some help with clock settings on client ubuntu
[09:42] <TheMusicGuy> Sorry
[09:42] <meborc> vlt: ok, try setting the keyboard in the windows also to german... it is in the language settings in the control panel
[09:42] <dad__> as its out of sic with server
[09:42] <dad__> sync
[09:42] <dad__> anyone good with diskless clients
[09:43] <vlt> meborc: The windows machines are set correctly. It works from every other rdesktop client (6.06, 8.04, Debian ...)
[09:43] <vlt> meborc: I can't touch the windows settings.
[09:44] <shaullx> itai:i have to format it to fat32? i only have exFat and NTFS options
[09:44] <meborc> vlt: then this is really weird.. i also had this problem, but i was able to use my "estonian" keyboard, by setting the windows layout to english (default)
[09:44] <meborc> vlt: sorry, don't know how to help you
[09:44] <vlt> meborc: hmm, thank you ayway
[09:44] <uwjweq> How can I import an rsa key?
[09:44] <vlt> uwjweq: Import where?
[09:45] <Guest98550> is there anyone who can help install icons? GUI and terminal methods havent worked for me
[09:45] <amnay> iwlist detects wireless networks only after I connect to them with iwconfig . Is it a known bug ?
[09:45] <uwjweq> I have the key from another machine and I want to import it to my machine so that I can connect to the machine which accepts connections from that key.
[09:46] <KamaL> hi all.. I have ubunut server 9.04 on a VPS, I installed the desktop pack on it, but now when I type STARTX I get this error log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/376753/
[09:46] <itai> shaullx, not sure,what computer are you using now?
[09:46] <shaullx> itai:what do u mean computer? os?
[09:46] <itai> os
[09:46] <shaullx> itai:win7
[09:46] <vlt> uwjweq: Put it in ~$USER/.ssh/authorized_keys or use `ssh-copy-id` from the remote machine.
[09:46] <TheMusicGuy> mrwizeguy1983: I would recommend to just keep playing with settings on the Audio Preferences window while a music player is playing, enough fiddling and you may eventually find a combination of settings that work. It may also help to figure out what soundcard you have (try installing Sysinfo via synaptic) and search for "Ubuntu <yoursoundcard>" on Google.
[09:47] <shaullx> itai:im trying to format to fat32 maybe it will solve it
[09:47] <mrwizeguy1983> oh, i have sysinfo
[09:47] <uwjweq> vlt: This goes for the client to?
[09:47] <mrwizeguy1983> i always install that lol, i like sysinfo
[09:47] <TheMusicGuy> heh, good call.
[09:48] <itai> shaullx, i'm sure win7 can format to fat32, if not, i'm sure you can find some freeware for win7 that would do it
[09:48] <mrwizeguy1983> it just says multimedia audio controller, nvidia corporation device 0be2 rev a1
[09:48] <KamaL> can i have a remote desktop on a ubuntu server VPS??? is it possible?
[09:48] <mrwizeguy1983> but that's the wrong one, that would be the hdmi output sound
[09:48] <shaullx> itai:yeah im downloading one now
[09:48] <itai> shaullx, i can;t help you further cause i never booted ubuntu from usb, but there are plenty of HOTOs on the web for it
[09:48] <vlt> KamaL: I think the VPS machine has no screen to let run X on it. Try vncserver instead
[09:49] <shaullx> itai:k tnx for ur help:)
[09:49] <KamaL> vlt: i tried it
[09:49] <KamaL> and it's running well
[09:49] <vlt> KamaL: (I do that a lot here with Ubuntu machines running oin Xen)
[09:49] <itai> shaullx, many years ago i used to boot puppylinux from usb, i bet things r much easier these days,
[09:49] <q0k> hi At  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Windows_and_Linux I saw that *The most popular Linux variant of choice for development use was Ubuntu, which accounted for over half of Linux respondents. * Is that true?
[09:49] <blueripple1> hey guys, network-manager openvpn connections dont work. is there a workaround/fix? i dont want to do it via command line
[09:49] <KamaL> but when i connect from my pc to the vps through vnc viewer, i get an error connecting
[09:49] <KamaL> may i PM u plz?
[09:50] <onats> !openvpn
[09:50] <onats> anyone else encounter the network-manager problem with openvpn?
[09:50] <vlt> uwjweq: Put the pubkey in the server's .ssh/authorized_keys or use password based `ssh-copy-id` from the client once.
[09:51] <uwjweq> vlt: It is on the server already, how to get it to the client? I have it in raw form.
[09:51] <TheMusicGuy> mrwizeguy1983: perhaps there are multiple audio controllers on your system, and Ubuntu isn't detecting the one for the onboard speakers. (Unlikely, but theoretically possible.) If that's the case, I have no idea what to tell you...
[09:51] <uwjweq> vlt: In form of a text file.
[09:52] <vlt> uwjweq: You need to out the client's _public_ key into the server's .ssh/auth...
[09:54] <ucenik01> hello
[09:54] <ddalton> hi
[09:54] <q0k> hi
[09:54] <uwjweq> vlt: So you do not know of and maybe there is not a way to import a rsa-key that is already known to the server to a client.
[09:54] <uwjweq> vlt: As stated before, I have the key in a text-file.
[09:55] <KamaL> vnc is working as far as i see, http://paste.ubuntu.com/376764/ , there are 3 desktops working i guess, but when i try to connect from home through VNC viewer (windows 7), i get this error: "unable to connect to host: Connection refused (10061)
[09:55] <KamaL> i used this command: <server IP>:1
[09:55] <KamaL> am i missing something? do i have to opren ports etc???
[09:55] <dad__> i ned some help with mythbuntu diskless client
 <dad__> time on clients is wrong so mythtv will not open
 <dad__> ntp is installed on server
 <dad__> I had ntp installed on client as well and I set to receive time from server <IP_ADDRESS> now this made the time on the client 11 hours ahead of the server
 <dad__> now I live in melb au which at presenet is 10 hours +gmt +hr daylight saving
[09:55] <FloodBot2> dad__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:55] <vlt> KamaL: To verify that the server is listening on the vnc port (5901, 5902, 5903 in your case) you can check `netstat -tlpen  |grep 5901` on the server. Maybe there'S a firewall blocking that packets. I would recommend using `vncviewer <IP_ADDRESS>:1 -via <server>`.
[09:57] <vlt> uwjweq: I already told you: Put the pubkey into $USER/.ssh/authorized_keys.
[09:57] <MegaHerz> Does anyone ever used Dia?
[09:57] <MegaHerz> )
[09:58] <MegaHerz> I mean do you use Dia for modeling/drawing?
[09:58] <perlmonkey> hi 'buntu guys, could use some advice... I just installed linux-server for the server orientated kernel... installation went fine, but when it came to do update grub, I chose "leave existing" so I think it didn't update it.. anyway I ran "update-grub" and it showed the new kernels in "found kernels" list but they're not being added to the menu.lst any ideas?
[09:58] <Explore1> http://codepad.org/TsafelXw , anyidea about this error?
[09:58] <Allaun> I messed up a bit, I noticed my account wasnt spelled right so i created a new account and deleted the old one, BUT i forgot to put the new group in the sudo/admin
[09:58] <vlt> KamaL: Oh, you're connecting from a windows client. I don't know whether it supports the "-via" option but you can establish an ssh tunnel manually using putty for example
[09:58] <KamaL> vlt: tcp        0      0 <IP_ADDRESS>:5901            <IP_ADDRESS>:*               LISTEN      0          1297554     9548/Xvnc
[09:59] <vlt> !anyone | MegaHerz
[09:59] <darolu> parlmonkey: if you use grub2, it no longer uses/creates a menu.lst file
[09:59] <perlmonkey> ah
[09:59] <MegaHerz> vlt: thanks
[09:59] <perlmonkey> darolu have to add them manually?
[09:59] <ewook> darolu: it doesn't? so what is it using then?
[09:59] <darolu> !grub2 > perlmonkey
[09:59] <KamaL> vlt: what does that output mean?
[09:59] <perlmonkey> thanks
[10:00] <koltroll> is it possible to change etc/hosts so that *.test goes to <IP_ADDRESS> ? For instance www.myTestPage.test
[10:00] <darolu> ewook: /boot/grub/grub.cfg or something like that
[10:00] <darolu> !grub2 > ewook
[10:00] <ewook> darolu: k.
[10:00] <perlmonkey> koltroll yes
[10:00] <koltroll> I've tried <IP_ADDRESS> .test and <IP_ADDRESS> *.test
[10:00] <koltroll> perlmonkey, oh care to tell? :)
[10:01] <perlmonkey> koltroll I think you just need an entry in your /hosts
[10:01] <perlmonkey> */etc/hosts
[10:01] <q0k> Hi! I've a Firefox question... the back and forward menu is unified (it wasn't several years ago)I want to have separate back and forward menus in the navigation toolbar. There were two of them in the past; now it's so inconvenient to understand which one leads where... Please bring them two back! thanks in advance.
[10:01] <MegaHerz> Ok. Again, I installed Dia. Before I tried Dia many times. I install it, see that I can't draw anything useable with it and uninstall it. This time I decided to ask before uninstallnig - maybe I do something wrong? This time I need to draw a simple schema of home network and see NO shapes which I can use - only outdated backwarded funny ugly shapes
[10:01] <koltroll> perlmonkey, well yea but how should that entry look?
[10:01] <vlt> KamaL: It means the server is listening on that port but maybe some packet filter _between_ you and the server is blocking it. I'd strongly recommend using an encrypted ssh tunnel in the case you have not full control over the network.
[10:02] <MegaHerz> Is there some magic which use apply to Dia, which allows you to draw Networks?
[10:02] <KamaL> vlt: how do i do that?
[10:02] <perlmonkey> maybe..
[10:02] <q0k> Hi! I've a *Firefox* question... the back and forward menu is unified (it wasn't several years ago) I want to have _separate back and forward menus_ in the navigation toolbar. There were two of them in the past; now it's so inconvenient to understand which one leads where... Please bring them two back! thanks in advance.
[10:02] <MegaHerz> I inspeced Dis website and found no shapes packages with a name like: "Modern Not-outdated Shapes for drawing your ordinary home network"
[10:02] <darolu> MegaHerz: do you use compiz?
[10:03] <KamaL> putty>ssh>tunnel?
[10:03] <bullgard> What is the function of the environment variable ORBIT_SOCKETDIR=/tmp/orbit-detlef?
[10:03] <Explore1> http://codepad.org/TsafelXw , anyidea about this error?
[10:03] <perlmonkey> <IP_ADDRESS> localhost www.myTestPage.test
[10:03] <ZykoticK9> koltroll, think i have an answer for you - don't use the "*" just have ".test" and see if that works
[10:03] <MegaHerz> darolu: why? I'm talking about shapes for Dia - where can I get good ones?
[10:03] <ikonia> bullgard: tells you where the socket file for orbit is
[10:03] <perlmonkey> or you might need to do several entries, like starting with test
[10:03] <perlmonkey> not sure
[10:03] <vlt> KamaL: You already use putty to connect to the VPS?
[10:03] <KamaL> yes, i'm connecting right now
[10:03] <ZykoticK9> koltroll, oh - i guess you've already tried that :(  sorry guess i'm wrong (agina...)
[10:04] <Lanlost> join #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:04] <MegaHerz> Ok, lets kick Dia off. How to draw netwrok schema in Ubuntu?
[10:04] <Lanlost> hah
[10:04]  * Lanlost high fives MegaHerz
[10:04] <Lanlost> YEAH
[10:04] <darolu> MegaHerz: You said you can't draw anything, so I asumed it was failing to render lines, boxes, etc... compositing sometimes creates errors in said rendering, killing compiz would help; if it still fails to render, try updating/changing your video drivers.
[10:04] <FloodBot2> Lanlost: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:05] <bullgard> ikonia: Thank you.
[10:05] <vlt> KamaL: Open connection settings, look for ssh tunnel, define a local listening port (like 12345 or 5901 too) and a remote endpoint (<IP_ADDRESS>:5901). Then open vncviewer and connect to ":1".
[10:05] <Waceman> Could anyone please tell me if the 3G Dongle E220 issue been resolved without a Firmware update?
[10:06] <KamaL> vlt: local listening port=source port, and remote endpoint=destination ?
[10:09] <vlt> KamaL: choose a local listening port and connect to that later. Remote endpoint (the server) should be <IP_ADDRESS> on port 5901.
[10:10] <KamaL> vlt - i chose 5901 as local listening, and remote point as u said
[10:10] <KamaL> i logged in, andn now tring to connect through vnc viewer
[10:10] <KamaL> should i connect to <IP_ADDRESS>:1 ?
[10:11] <vlt> KamaL: When your local listening port is 5901 connect to <IP_ADDRESS>:1 or just :1 on newer vncviewers
[10:12] <vlt> KamaL: In case you can't occupy the 590* ports locally choose something like 12345 and connect to <IP_ADDRESS>::12345 (double colon)
[10:12] <KamaL> "the connection closed unexpectedly. do you wish to attempt to reconnect to :1"?
[10:12] <neverAFK> how do you listen on local port and then forward the traffic out another port to remote machine over ssh?
[10:12] <vlt> KamaL: So there's at least a connection ;-)
[10:12] <KamaL> :)
[10:13] <vlt> neverAFK: `ssh -L localport:remote_ip:remote_port`
[10:13] <meowbuntu> i have just installed conky bit i cant find the configure file its not in ~/conky as suggested on many sites
[10:13] <KamaL> vlt: source port and local port 12345?
[10:13] <neverAFK> thats what i thought, but didnt know if it worked for a remote machine.
