[20:13] <damkor> I wrote the same config it had
[20:13] <Zoohouse> What tool can I use to add metadata keywords to images?
[20:13] <damkor> so I'm guessing no help there
[20:14] <kasper_> Network Manager experts... anyone?
[20:14] <wmaker> Pici: they're about as active my dead granmother
[20:14] <MarcN> okay this is strange.  first couple of times restarting f-spot after an intrepid upgrade it dies.  one the 4th it starts up fine.  Strange
[20:14] <swif> Someone want to refresh me?  Which file can I edit/add a line to to execute a shell script on boot?
[20:14] <swif> I'm running 8.10
[20:14] <AJC_Z0> iMax: Try nvidia-settings
[20:14] <paul68> !patience |damkor
[20:14] <MarcN> kasper_: nm-applet to start it up if you don't already have it in the panel.
[20:14] <damkor> I understand
[20:14] <jmk2> can i still upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 (desktop) over ISO mount without the Alternative ISO (as instructed by "Upgrading Using the Alternate CD/DVD" page) ?
[20:15] <lastelement0> swif, you should be able to add it in the startup tab of system>preferences>sessions
[20:15] <iMax> AJC_Z0: I only have nvidia-xconfig installed it seems
[20:15] <swif> lastelement0: Thank you.
[20:15] <damaltor> Yoshi: enter the following: "sudo apt-get remove nvidia-* && apt-get install nvidia-glx-177" (including the asterisk!)
[20:15] <hardwired> can someone with working alsa give me his/her output of    dpkg -l | grep alsa|cut -f 3 -d ' '
[20:15] <hardwired> thanks
[20:15] <MarcN> and then f-spot dies.  Ugh.  30,000+ tagged photos I don't want to have to re-import
[20:15] <OdnsRvns> Anyone know how to get synaptic back to default settings
[20:15] <DracNoc> damkor, in order for any changes to show up in your resolution settings, you need to restart X (log out and back in), otherwise they will not show up.
[20:16] <andypls1> how can i check if a file exists, using bash?
[20:16] <soho> swif; i guess /etc/init.d/rc.local

[20:16] <Koordin> hi i had this problem after upgrading to 8.10 : now when i try to boot i have this error message in a window : "Can not open theme file /usr/lib/kde4/share/kde4/apps/kdm/themes/oxygen" ; and then in the console : "Not starting K Display Manager (kdm-kde4) ; it is not the default display manager". Then in order to launch xserver i have to write 'startx' in tty1 and it works but it is a little buggy. Could someone help me ?

[20:17] <Hideme> I've upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 and seemed to have lost the EnvyNG app from my menu. Any idea why?

[20:18] <thomc> Now that ubuntu no longer uses xorg.conf, how can I find out what video driver is being used?
[20:18] <OdnsRvns> what is the sudo for installing the package manager
[20:18] <ShackJac1> Does anyone know how to change the video driver my Ubuntu is using. I don't see an entry in xorg.conf
[20:19] <Mullethunt> Hello. I recently installed Ubuntu 8.10 and I cannot get my dual monitors set up properly. I have my dual monitors set up for Separate X, but I cannot choose the option twinview. Is there anyone that can try and help me out?
[20:19] <Hideme> They really screwed this release.
[20:19] <OdnsRvns> not crew just new
[20:19] <spydon> I cant login to ibex... I updated it from hardy and now it kind of hangs when I log in, everything works mouse and stuff but i just get an orange screen with my mouse on it...
[20:19] <soho> OdnsRvns; the package-manager is installed by defaut
[20:20] <donut> hi, i've got a problem: after ubuntu startup, i get a black screen. it came with the graficdriver update(fglrx), i'm using a ati hd4850. can someone help me or give me some hints for how to go on now? thx
[20:20] <DracNoc> the autoconfig in the Xorg is a real killer. They should provide an easy "do not reconfigure" switch and an easy way to locate the xorg.conf that's automatically set.
[20:20] <Hideme> Mullethunt: where are you setting that?
[20:20] <xhunter> donut : I can help you.
[20:20] <HMS> How do I stop network manager in 8.04.1? please, thanks!
[20:20] <Mullethunt> Hideme, in nvidia-settings.
[20:20] <Da_Wi> okay. I have a very serious problem. I use the ibex 8.10 now and I have trouble to compile stuff... so I made a "test". I downloaded the dosbox by apt-get source dosbox and try to compile it, but get the errors http://rafb.net/p/v1e00Z81.html. sry,  it's german but I don't know how to make it english. because I get the error at an distributed package I think it's a problem of the build system what can I do?
[20:20] <ShackJac1> DracNoc:Do you know how to check/reset the drive xorg is using - my screen goes blank after going into GUI mde, and I can't drop to command line...
[20:21] <OdnsRvns> soho: i know i unistalled it it was givving me trouble i need to reinstall thnx
[20:21] <makson> Hey guys
[20:22] <DracNoc> ShackJac1, are you on 8.04 or 8.10?
[20:22] <makson> What is the command to add a proxy via the command line i think its like export_http:proxyinfo:port  ??
[20:22] <ShackJac1> DracNoc: Just upgraded to 8.10 Xubuntu - and screen goes blank afdter going to GUI
[20:22] <mincevv> lot of problems with 8.10 :( now I have problem with Pidgin...
[20:22] <soho> OdnsRvns; do you mean synaptic? sudo apt-get install synaptic
[20:23] <DracNoc> ShackJac1, damn, that's a real nightmare. if you're GUI blacks out and you can't get to a command line, then you're pretty screwed. the new Xorg isn't flexible enough to allow easy editing.
[20:23] <zeroc_> test
[20:23] <soho> Da_Wi; http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218320
[20:23] <RainCT> makson: export http_proxy=<proxy>   iirc
[20:24] <ShackJac1> DracNoc: I can get to a command line if I do recovery mode - but not if I try to start the GUI then I can't drop out...
[20:24] <Mullethunt> Hideme, anything else?
[20:24] <ShackJac1> Can anyone tell me how to change the video driver or see which is in use?
[20:24] <makson> sweet thanks dude.. I just installed ubuntu server To update the system i just say apt-get update right?
[20:24] <OdnsRvns> Soho iu tried that didnt work says it called something else
[20:24] <Yoshi> damaltor: just tried deactivating and reactivating driver 173 it too gave me an out of bounds monitor
[20:24] <AJC_Z0> You should be able to kill X with a key sequence - CTRL-ALT-KPDEL, IIRC
[20:24] <DracNoc> ShackJack, ok, then try the following at the command line: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[20:25] <DracNoc> ShackJac1,  ok, then try the following at the command line: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[20:25] <OdnsRvns> soho: Package synaptic is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[20:25] <OdnsRvns> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[20:25] <OdnsRvns> is only available from another source
[20:25] <OdnsRvns> sorry for that
[20:25] <mincevv> ShackJa: I had similar problem with installation from cd - live session works, but something goes wrong with ATI drivers - I solved mine problem with installing fresh 8.04 then using internet I upgraded to 8.10 and it works
[20:25] <HMS> How do I stop network manager from terminal in 8.04.1? please, thanks!
[20:25] <ShackJac1> DracNoc: I had tried  dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but it only asked me about the keyboard and not the video - how to I get it to ask the video... It's annoying cause when I ctrl-alt delete to restart - upcomes the progress bar....
[20:26] <soho> OdnsRvns; u can use aptitude to install it
[20:26] <ShackJac1> How do I tell it -- use whatever video mode you're using to show me the progess bar ;-)
[20:26] <OdnsRvns> how so
[20:26] <OdnsRvns> im new sorry
[20:26] <RainCT> HMS: just guessing, but you can try    ps xa | grep nm   and killing the    /usr/sbin/nm-system-settings  process
[20:27] <DracNoc> ShackJac1, i'm sorry, but 8.10 is too new and this new damn xorg isn't helping with rescues. as mincevv pointed out, it's worth installing 8.04 then upgrading to 8.10, that seems to help.
[20:27] <mincevv> ShackJac1: heh... as I said live works... instalation with safe mode will not pass too
[20:27] <DracNoc> ShackJac1, what card are you running?
[20:27] <ShackJac1> DracNoc: I did upgrade from 8.10
[20:27] <Yoshi> man seems almost everyone is having driver troubles with this upgrade
[20:27] <ShackJac1> DracNoc: I don't know - it's an old iSeries IBM circa 2000 192MB
[20:27] <HMS> Thanks RainCT I will try it!
[20:27] <Zylone> I was finally able to get my nvidia card working after installing some backports

[20:28] <DaveCave> hey fellas
[20:28] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[20:28] <Yoshi> Zylone: gah your supposed to remember those to help others
[20:28] <ShackJac1> So there's no way to choose a new video driver from the command line?
[20:28] <OdnsRvns> Soho: how do i install with apptitude
[20:28] <soho> OdnsRvns; start aptitude with sudo, search synaptic and install it
[20:28] <mincevv> any help with mine Pidgin problem?
[20:28] <Zylone> I will take a look when I get home
[20:28] <Zylone> at work now =)
[20:28] <OdnsRvns> ok
[20:28] <DaveCave> anyone know the best way to make a image backup of 8.04?
[20:28] <Zylone> I will try and get a blog post put together about it
[20:28] <maverick340> how do i sync my Sony Ericsson phone ?
[20:28] <mincevv> it just blocked after few sec of working - was working before 8.10 :(

[20:29] <hema> how to chat with arabic support
[20:29] <mib_vk6ij2> So I was updating to 8.10 on my laptop when the power died and the whole thing shut down. I know I should have had it plugged in or set to warn me or hibernate or something but I did not. So I restarted and the install is hosed, have a nice kernel panic. I don't want to go through the headache of trying to "fix" the system and would prefer to just reinstall (all my important stuff is backed up). However I do not have a
[20:29] <praveer_cool> hey, does anyone know if ipod touch can be synced using wine+itunes on ubuntu 8.04 ?
[20:29] <nicholaspaul> Q: I have a PIII/800MHz, 512MB RAM - which would you recommend, Xubuntu 6.10 or Ubuntu6.06?
[20:29] <mincevv> ActionParsnip: yes, reinstalled
[20:29] <praveer_cool> ipod touch 2nd gen i mean.

[20:30] <djungelkraem> anyone know why im sending what im hearing in skype?
[20:30] <deadkode> nicholaspaul: i'd run the latest xubuntu on it probably.

[20:30] <kasper_> anyone else with wireless problems and network manager???
[20:30] <mincevv> ActionParsnip: will try
[20:30] <maverick340> or can i import a location on any of the players ?
[20:30] <nicholaspaul> deadkode: that would work better than Gnome?
[20:30] <mib_vk6ij2> DaveCave: What type of backup? Full system? Just files? Encrypted? Offsite? External drive?
[20:30] <nicholaspaul> deadkode: obviously, i need something pretty lite.
[20:30] <Rafik> nicholaspaul, i installed xubuntu 8.04 with a less than that.. i'd go for the latest version
[20:31] <nicholaspaul> Rafik: cool... i'll give it a shot - thanks!
[20:31] <deadkode> nicholaspaul: yeah. i run xubuntu on my eeepc and it does pretty well, and it's probably about the same speed
[20:31] <ShackJac1> HI all - I just upgraded to *Xubuntu*  Intrepid on an (old Thinkpad iSeries - 192MB)... the upgrade seemed to go smoothly, but when I restart it won't go into the GUI. After the progress bar goes out the screen goes blank (though the backlight is still on) and I can't drop to command line, etc.... Any suggestions?]
[20:31] <Rafik> nicholaspaul, you welcome
[20:31] <nicholaspaul> deadkode: okee. Thanks !
[20:31] <Exteris> How can i specify which program uses which networking device?
[20:31] <deadkode> ShackJac1: you can't ctrl-alt-f1 to a console?
[20:31] <ShackJac1> How do I change the graphic driver X is using from the command line - recinfugre xserver-xorg does not give me the option
[20:32] <arun_> any idea how to get my default resolution to 1400x900 on hp s7712n desktop which has an intel 945GM card
[20:32] <arun_> all I get is 1024x768
[20:32] <ShackJac1> deadkode: No, but i can get to a console if I start in recovery... I just want to know how to change the driver to use whatever the driver being used to show me the progress bar as that seems to work...
[20:32] <DracNoc> ShackJac1, looks like the IBM iSeries uses a Neomagic graphics chipset. That's some weird gear you've got there. There is an xorg plugin for neomagic cards. Make sure you have the xserver-xorg-video-neomagic pack installed.
[20:32] <arun_> I use intrepic btw
[20:33] <ActionParsnip> ShackJac1: try editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf and setting the video driver to "vesa"
[20:33] <joebf> Hi all. Am I the only one that feels that Intrepid on a laptop is not quite as stable as I would like?
[20:33] <ShackJac1> ActionParsnip: There's no section for that anymore in the xorg
[20:33] <mib_vk6ij2> ShackJac1: Have you tried Ctrl-Alt F2
[20:33] <hardwired> joebf: I don't know how stable you would like it to be...
[20:33] <ShackJac1> mib_vk6ij2: Yep ;-)
[20:33] <deadkode> joebf: it's been great for me, what laptop are you using?
[20:33] <mek_> joebf: works at least better then 8.04
[20:33] <ActionParsnip> ShackJac1: try running the fix xorg in the recovery mode (press esc at boot)
[20:33] <mib_vk6ij2> just making sure you did the basics :)
[20:33] <mek_> (on my laptop)
[20:33] <joebf> hardwired: stable as in not buggy ;)
[20:34] <joebf> deadkode: ibm x40
[20:34] <solara> i'm trying to format a partition using ext4dev, so I installed e2fsprog-1.41.3, but mke2fs not recognizing ext4dev as a valid format (nor ext4). doe sanyone else have any experience with this?
[20:34] <arun_> any idea how to get my default resolution to 1400x900 on hp s7712n desktop which has an intel 945GM card, i run intrepid. All I get is 1024x768
[20:34] <DracNoc> My Intrepid upgrade went great except that my extra multimedia keys no longer work. *shrugs*
[20:34] <ActionParsnip> arun_: you need the 945 resolution package
[20:34] <thomc> Does the xserver-xorg-video-intel package contain the xf86-video-intel driver?
[20:34] <ShackJac1> ActionParsnip: did it - it didn't ;_ Tried using the old xorg.conf too with no luck... Frustratin cause I can see the progress bar... I want to the computer to use *that* driver...
[20:34] <joebf> powermanagement is worse than 8.04, gnome-power-manager hangs every shutdonw
[20:34] <mek_> DracNoc: I also have some key issues
[20:34] <LF|Irssi> what's the trick to get audio working in 8.10? i never had any issues with 8.04 i think before i used alsa now it using pulseaudio server or something.
[20:34] <cyr1> well I've been beating my head on my machine for two days now after my intrepid upgrade
[20:34] <MnemonicPunk> ShackJac1: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config#Adding%20undetected%20resolutions <- Use this to manually add resolutions to xorg.
[20:35] <Iradieh> deb-src http://www.prodeia.de/mms source/
[20:35] <arun_> ActionParsnip: let me see if I can find it..thank you so much for giving me that clue
[20:35] <DracNoc> mek_, we're not alone in this... no solutions as of yet.
[20:35] <MnemonicPunk> Whoops
[20:35] <qowao> hey what is a nice font besides SANS
[20:35] <ActionParsnip> ShackJac1: there may be an xorg.conf.failsafe file, try renaming that to the normal xorg.conf
[20:35] <Iradieh> Excuse me, does anyone know the repository for ubuntu 8.10 for XBMC beta 2?
[20:35] <qowao> i dont like SANS
[20:35] <mib_vk6ij2> so anyone know a way to install 8.10 to an existing linux partition without a cd drive?
[20:35] <cyr1> cannot get my dual monitors to work at all
[20:35] <mib_vk6ij2> should have said over rather than to
[20:35] <joebf> gnus stopped working, but that probably aint laptop related :)
[20:35] <ActionParsnip> !dualhead | cyr1
[20:35] <ShackJac1> MnemonicPunk: Will take a look - but does that apply under 7.4?  ActionParsnip: will see about that file..
[20:35] <ActionParsnip> !xinerama | cyr1
[20:35] <ShackJac1> It's only a lousy 800x600 screen ;)
[20:35] <cyr1> ActionParsnip : yea ive been through all that multiple times
[20:35] <Tundrayeti312> LF|Irssi: Try googling ubuntu and pulseaudio, there are lots of posts and how-to' s for setup
[20:36] <Yoshi> damaltor: you still there?
[20:36] <cyr1> it simply will not run on the Millineum II cards
[20:36] <ActionParsnip> cyr1: if you are using nvidia you can set it ith nvidia-settings i believe
[20:36] <DracNoc> wow, i just took a long look at my xorg.conf. it's untouched by the 8.10 upgrade.... that's weird.
[20:36] <BoomShaka> is anyone here running on a dell inspiron 1720? specifcally, running 8.10 ?
[20:36] <MnemonicPunk> ShackJac1: Woa. o.o It *should*. Just make a backup of your xorg.conf so you can undo the changes if it breaks anything. =)
[20:36] <LF|Irssi> Tundrayeti312: yep that was my next plan, but i was hoping someone in here knew a quick fix hehe
[20:36] <OdnsRvns> how do i install with apptitude
[20:36] <qowao> hey what is a nice font besides SANS
[20:36] <qowao> i dont like SANS
[20:36] <cyr1> ActionParsnip : nah, I have two older Matrox MII cards which worked fine under hardy
[20:36] <arun_> ActionParsnip: is it still part of the repository. I cant seem to find it
[20:37] <mek_> DracNoc: most anoying thing here is that there seems to be some kind of change in the mapping, in the x-session itself the cursor keys work fine, but a freeNX client running on 8.10 makes only garbage out of the cursor keys
[20:37] <makson> im getting this error when trying to run any apt-get commands "failed to fetch http://blahblah cannnot initiate the connection to 8888:80
[20:37] <ActionParsnip> cyr1: then use hardy is all i can suggest
[20:37] <cyr1> and this stupid dell box doesn't have an AGP slot
[20:37] <crash__> can somebody tell me why i can install ibex on desktop but not on this laptop yet hardy works
[20:37] <ShackJac1> MnemonicPunk: I forgot - do I need to reboot after making xorg.conf changes?
[20:37] <makson> I think the proxy is misconfigured?
[20:37] <Tundrayeti312> LF|Irssi: A quick fix?  You would have to provide more info than "My audio isn't working..." im afraid : /
[20:37] <mek_> quite anoying if you press cursor up in a terminal - which starts ksnapshot,... .. ...
[20:37] <xukun> hi everybody. There is no sound coming from my logitech usb headset. I have everything set to pulse audio at "System - Preference - Sound" I,m doing something wrong or is pulseaudio not doing the job?
[20:37] <MnemonicPunk> ShackJac1: Nope. But if X is running already in some way, you will have to restart X manually by hitting Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
[20:37] <cyr1> I am almost thinking it has something to do with the onboard intel video though
[20:38] <ShackJac1> BTW - I just did a shutdown and it said it was stopping the Gnome Display manager even though I entered in reconvery mode...
[20:38] <ActionParsnip> cyr1: disable any unnecessary hardware
[20:38] <arun_> anybody else know how to install 945resolution in intrepid. googling doesnt seem to be of any help
[20:38] <DracNoc> mek_, i know what you mean. for some reason, my keys work ONLY if Amarok is working. It follows it's own key map. my brain hurts trying to work it out
[20:38] <xukun> ! pulseaudio
[20:38] <ShackJac1> MnemonicPunk: I'm trying the "failsafe" file first, since it's an easier option.. If it shows 800x600 I'll be happy
[20:39] <aboSamoor> how can I play asx files ?
[20:39] <xukun> !pulseaudio
[20:39] <cyr1> if I set the onboard intel vid to be primary, I can use Xorg on that display, but the mII card refuses to work, if I put the onboard as a 'secondary' in bios, I can get the MII card to work but then the intel card refuses to work, in either case, I cannot get the second MII card to work (even using a workable xorg.conf and changing the bus ID)
[20:39] <ActionParsnip> aboSamoor: i think vlc does em
[20:39] <cyr1> i hate dell
[20:39] <user01> my pulse audio keeps screwing up on playback
[20:39] <user01> sounds horrible or wont play
[20:40] <ActionParsnip> arun_: did you try tab completing?
[20:40] <DracNoc> my pulse audio has never worked. I kept to ALSA
[20:40] <dou213> hey everyone, can u guys give me a hand with my network configuration? i need someone who has an ubuntu server running in a network with windows clients too..  private me pls
[20:40] <neurobuntu> did 8.10 fix the flash bug that kept crashing firefox?

[20:41] <mek_> DracNoc: sad, just gave it a try if the behavior here changes if amarock is open, but no, but was worth giving a try ;-)
[20:41] <user01> ActionParsnip, do I need to uninstall pulse and then do alsa?
[20:41] <arun_> oh
[20:41] <xukun> anybody please
[20:42] <ActionParsnip> user01: i think its sound prefs
[20:42] <DracNoc> mek_, it seems to be a very random thing depending on exact hardware specs. It'll be something for the devs to solve, not here on the community channels :S
[20:42] <ActionParsnip> xukun: sup?
[20:42] <arun_> ActionParsnip: what does this mean "Package 915resolution is not available, but is referred to by another package."
[20:42] <xukun> ActionParsnip, . There is no sound coming from my logitech usb headset. I have everything set to pulse audio at "System - Preference - Sound" I,m doing something wrong or is pulseaudio not doing the job?

[20:59] <hsn> what do i type in terminal?
[20:59] <hardwired> does anyone here have more than one soundcard, and changed the default one? can I see a    cat /proc/asound/modules     and a      tail /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base    ? thanks
[20:59] <nickgarvey> Jokou: dual core perhaps?
[20:59] <neurobuntu> Jokou, do you have a dual core cpu? Cause if you do then you have two cpus
[20:59] <Jokou> Nope, it's about 6 years old
[20:59] <Jokou> ;D
[20:59] <hardwired> ahh, nevermind, I figured it out

[20:59] <robacarp> how do I set the default device for alsa
[20:59] <robacarp> ?
[20:59] <nickgarvey> JoKor: cat /proc/cpuinfo shows two?
[20:59] <neurobuntu> Jokou, what cpu do you have?
[20:59] <hsn> is there a way to make vlc player the default player for all media?
[20:59] <Jokou> sec
[21:00] <neurobuntu> Jokou, it could be hyperthreading
[21:00] <Franny> probally a p4 with HT?
[21:00] <phpstar> yes hsn
[21:00] <dovel> hsn: right-click on each kind of media file and select properties, go to the open with tab and select vlc
[21:00] <hsn> ._.
[21:00] <Jokou> pent 4
[21:00] <phpstar> go to properties and slect vlc
[21:00] <hsn> thats a long process :|
[21:00] <dulak> yeah disable HT in the bios
[21:00] <dulak> HT does not help performance at all
[21:00] <phpstar> no
[21:00] <Jokou> Ah that's probably it oactually o.
[21:00] <neurobuntu> Jokou, then its probably intel hyperthreading
[21:00] <phpstar> just click on one avi file
[21:00] <phpstar> and all avi will be open in vlc
[21:01] <hsn> is there a shortcut key to open the terminal?
[21:01] <tritium> hsn: no
[21:01] <dovel> hsn: phpstar is right - not each file, but each different type of file, one avi, one mp3 etc
[21:01] <Andreica> can anybody recommend me a good download manager?

[21:17] <erUSUL> hsn: some google-fu returns this https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/ch12s06.html from official docs
[21:17] <Pelo> and trying to install the dust theme freezes x
[21:17] <sloopy> qowao, which icons are too big?
[21:18] <hema> how to chmod all files in var/www/vb
[21:18] <dp_> why were the nvidia drivers were "desynched" with xorg?
[21:18] <Pelo> BoomShaka, nvidia card ? try asking in #nvidia
[21:18] <DracNoc> BoomShaka, does your second monitor have an Auto button on the front of it?
[21:18] <Forestbear> vol: i've asked it like 200 times now.
[21:18] <Yamakiri> can someone tell me the best way to tarball my files?  They're all on desktop, but I need to compress them so they'll fit on a USB drive because my OS is failing

[21:18] <splitz> What is the best irc client to use in ubuntu?
[21:18] <BoomShaka> Pelo, Yes, ive asked there already
[21:18] <blippe> dp_: they didn't release any drivers
[21:18] <Pelo> hema,  sudo chmod -rf /var/www/vb
[21:18] <Odd-rationale> !best | splitz
[21:18] <blippe> splitz: i like irssi
[21:18] <valros> in idle how do i pass an argument to a script and run it
[21:19] <homy1> hi. after adding a ppa, I always get this warning when upgrade manager checks for updates:
[21:19] <homy1> http://paste.ubuntu.com/66955/
[21:19] <BoomShaka> DracNoc, nope, but ive tried repositioning it via the monitor controls and no luck
[21:19] <vol> Forestbear: Sorry, all I saw was "someone help me". Let me read.
[21:19] <Odd-rationale> splitz: that being said, i like to use weechat. xchat is also very nice.
[21:19] <dp_> blippe: right, but why upgrade xorg, when the nvidia drivers don't work with it?
[21:19] <hardwired> how can I configure my X server? I freshly installed it
[21:19] <hema> chmod: invalid mode: `-rf'
[21:19] <qowao> hey sloopy everything in the nautilus is too big, in the menu panels, the folder buttons the icons hate it
[21:19] <blippe> hema: you've tried reading man chmod ?
[21:19] <vol> Forestbear: Hmm, not sure. Wait for someone else, or post on the ubuntu forums.
[21:19] <DracNoc> BoomShaka, just checking, sometimes it's just the obvious that works...
[21:19] <Pelo> hardwired, what do you need to configure in it ?
[21:19] <qowao> sloopy: it all looks bloated, windows looked much neater
[21:20] <valros> how do i run and pass on an argument to a .py script,         python /home/username/Desktop/test.py [argument]         ?
[21:20] <homy1> now, how do I make that warning dissapear forever?
[21:20] <Pelo> homy1, change servers and try agian
[21:20] <blippe> dp_: because they won't release drivers until somebody uses the new xorg, it would have been a waiting game, and there are other drivers (free none the less)
[21:20] <Whitor> Hi. does the current [tab] key search the entire path.. for command completion.. if it doesn't find an answer in the current directory ?
[21:20] <hardwired> Pelo: xorg.conf is empty, I just have a console and a standard X (vesa I think)
[21:20] <smeuuh> hm, I've got this weird bug in intrepid, suddenly x-session-manager takes all the cpu time, and I can't run new programs. Worked fine in rc
[21:20] <HappyHater> my sound and video menu is a mess, I'm trying to add a submenu to it in the menu editor, but it won't let me drag items into the new submenu, what am I supposed to do?
[21:20] <Pelo> valros, try asking in #python
[21:20] <BoomShaka> DracNoc, thanks :)
[21:20] <davint> Hi, I'm having troubles connecting my laptop (8.10) to my wireless network (WEP encryption)
[21:20] <dp_> blippe: that don't support 3d, from what I've read
[21:20] <homy1> Pelo: so, I can never use the server I am currently using again?
[21:20] <Pelo> hardwired, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver.xorg
[21:20] <robacarp> is ubuntuforums.org experencing "database error" for anyone else...? Something in the source about too many connections to the DB....
[21:20] <blippe> dp_: tried it?
[21:20] <Whitor> I think it just did for me ... and thats very cool
[21:21] <Pelo> homy1, it might just be having a bad day
[21:21] <homy1> ok Pelo, thanks.
[21:21] <Pelo> homy1, trying another server will give you a clue on wheather the problem is on your end or not
[21:21] <blippe> dp_: either, wait until nvidia release the new drivers until you update, or try the free ones until nvidia relesaes new ones
[21:22] <HappyHater> is there no way to create a submenu in the applications menu?
[21:22] <Pelo> hardwired, might be  xserver-xorg , it's been a while
[21:22] <blippe> hardwired: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg (no dot)
[21:22] <itrebal> anyone used Gnome-Do's Twitter plugin?
[21:22] <sloopy> qowao, did you try Edit->Prefs->Icon View Defaults/default zoom level ?
[21:22] <DracNoc> robacarp, they keep giving me that error too. I'm sure they're working on it. They changed their stuff and are probably experiencing a few teething troubles.
[21:22] <hardwired> Pelo: ah, that was it
[21:22] <blippe> itrebal: yeah, a bit
[21:22] <hardwired> blippe: eh?
[21:22] <hardwired> blippe: ah, got it
[21:22] <itrebal> blippe: I'm having a heck of a time setting it up; did you have any issues?
[21:22] <guntbert> Whitor: yes, it searches the complete path, not necessarily beginning  with the current directory
[21:22] <Pelo> hardwired, he was giving you the same correction as I did
[21:22] <davint> Hi, I'm having troubles connecting my laptop (8.10) to my wireless network (WEP encryption)
[21:22] <qowao> sloopy: yeah those are the file icons, i mean the panel icons and stuff
[21:22] <blippe> itrebal: actually no...
[21:22] <hardwired> Pelo: yep, thanks
[21:23] <BikerGeek> HappyHater:  Right click on the "Applications" menu, select "Edit menus", you can add/remove to your hearts content.
[21:23] <homy1> Pelo: you were right :) With a different Server, this problem does not occur. Thanks!
[21:23] <itrebal> blippe: I mean, I went to Configure and put in my user/pass and it still isn't "finding" my credentials
[21:23] <qowao> sloopy: like go parent folder, go back, the folder buttons etc
[21:23] <break_free> is there a way I can edit my compiz preferences?
[21:23] <itrebal> blippe: its even saying "Account validation succeeded!" but it still tells me I havn't set it up
[21:23] <robacarp> DracNoc: I got through after a few refreshes...looks like the board provider needs to migrate to persistent db conncetions
[21:23] <blippe> itrebal: actually, now it doesn't work, strang
[21:24] <rabbot> are any of the mirrors down or something?
[21:24] <donomo> how do i get to the compiz settings control panel? i just set 'Visual Effects' to Extra
[21:24] <itrebal> blippe: hrm
[21:24] <DracNoc> robacarp, they just froze me out again... go figure.
[21:24] <sloopy> tyeah those i dunno, i usually use just text and not the icons for menus...
[21:24] <valros> break_free, if you have compiz-fusion installed its under system, preferences, CompizConfig settings manager, or just ccsm in the terminal
[21:24] <rabbot> minimal install keeps failiing on getting the packages
[21:24] <erUSUL> !ccsm | donomo
[21:25] <donomo> erUSUL: thx!

[21:25] <itrebal> blippe: are you getting "Missing Credentials"?
[21:25] <break_free> valros, I'm just using the normal settings in appearance. Should I install compiz-fuzion?
[21:25] <blippe> itrebal: yes
[21:25] <HappyHater> trying to create a submenu in my sound and video menu, but nothing will drag into the submenu, any help?
[21:25] <valros> yes
[21:25] <davint> Hi, I'm having troubles connecting my laptop (8.10) to my wireless network (WEP encryption)
[21:25] <break_free> valros, apt-get install compiz-fusion?

[21:26] <valros> then ccsm
[21:26] <HappyHater> trying to create a submenu in my sound and video menu, but nothing will drag into the submenu, any help?
[21:26] <davint> wang: Not sure, Ubuntu 8.10 sees my WLAN card out of the box, it's a packard bell
[21:26] <crdlb> break_free: no, just install compizconfig-settings-manager
[21:27] <mDuff> Re bug #129285 -- I've had a patch in the tracker since February, and it still hasn't been applied (or objected to); it still applies (and is needed) on Ibex. Is there anything I can do to help nudge this along?

[21:29] <deftone> can't find the setting to make compiz start up on boot
[21:29] <teodoro> hello!

[21:30] <erUSUL> !dvd | VirusKongen
[21:31] <deftone> that doesnt' give me the option to have it start on boot up
[21:31] <blippe> deftone: it actually should start up at boot, but you could try to go into system - preferences - sessions and add a new item "compiz --replace"
[21:31] <davint> I'm having trouble connecting my Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG nic to my wireless network (ubuntu 8.10)
[21:31] <blippe> VirusKongen: medibuntu.com

[21:31] <djhash> erUSUL: I actually prefer Konversation.. but am giving this a try.. and that is not an answer.. an answer would be how to do it. or it cant be done... thank you for playing though, try again
[21:31] <guntbert> davint: that same card works here out of the box :), do you use nm-applet?
[21:32] <DracNoc> deftone, you need to look for the Autostart manager is your Admin menus.
[21:32] <erUSUL> djhash: it can not be done without installing some extra irc plugins afaics
[21:32] <davint> guntbert: I can see my network and other networks using the builtin network manager but I'm having troubles connecting
[21:32] <hardwired> my nvidia module failed to load. any ideas what to check?

[21:33] <DracNoc> blippe, i have to admit, I'm a bit rusty with Gnome.
[21:33] <hardwired> erUSUL: (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module!
[21:33] <erUSUL> djhash: those plugins are only an apt away
[21:33] <blippe> DracNoc: i am a wee bit rusty at irc :D
[21:33] <davint> guntbert: No matter what option I choose when connecting, it brings me back to the authentication screen
[21:33] <erUSUL> hardwired: nothing else?
[21:33] <VirusKongen> thnx guys
[21:33] <guntbert> davint: I use the "pass-phrase" option, its easier to remember if your AP supports too

[21:36] <guntbert> aaron: did you check the image before burning it?
[21:36] <aaron> nope
[21:36] <aaron> it that why

[21:36] <aaron> guntbert, bad image?  I burnt it at a low speed too
[21:36] <erUSUL> aboSamoor: the "default 3" is making you boot into recovery mode
[21:37] <zchef2k> grub 0.97 ok to use in intrepi?
[21:37] <guntbert> aaron: you should always check the image, the are too many ways it could get corrupted
[21:37] <StuckMojo> hardwired: have you tried using this command: nvidia-settings
[21:37] <erUSUL> aboSamoor: you probably meant "default 2" the count starts at 0 so the third entry is actually 2 -> 0 1 2
[21:37] <Pelo> hardwired, have you considered using nvidia-settings to make your xorg.conf for you ?
[21:37] <hardwired> StuckMojo: no, I'll try that.
[21:37] <aaron> guntbert, it was burnt just a moment ago  should I burn at a lower speed
[21:37] <pyntix> quick question: i have an old NVidia MX 420, should i use the nvidia-glx or the nvidia-glx-legacy driver?

However, the family has another newer computer now-  I want to give this pc to another needy student but the original username/password was for the first kid using his name.  Can I change this easily and permanently?

[21:46] <MnemonicPunk> Dante123: Use the 'usermod' command for that. =)

[21:47] <Vi5in> and I believe it's failing there.
[21:47] <hardwired> Pelo: no, this is ubuntu server, no gnome. it'll be a mediacenter in the end. everything else is pretty much running (nfs, samba, sound)

[21:51] <teodoro> you can get with sudo aptitude

[21:51] <Pelo> Vi5in,  nvm , not -dev pâckage for gcc

[21:51] <Logi> teodoro: the simplest is to go back to the backup you made before you upgraded :-P
[21:51] <thiebaude> cyr1:you can't
[21:51] <crimsun> cyr1: there is no "simple" way; there's always apt pinning, but it's not guaranteed to work

[21:51] <Vi5in> let me pastebin it
[21:51] <Vi5in> just a sec

[21:59] <crimsun> Some_Person: ALSA provides the basic sound subsystem.  In Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10, PulseAudio sits on top of ALSA.
[21:59] <rlaager> thiebaude: That would be great. I see a number of flaws in this design (which should be correctable) and it was the first thing I noticed when signing in Pidgin for the first time on Intrepid.

[22:01] <cyr1> WIGGMPk : obviously ;-)
[22:01] <Some_Person> Is there a way, in hardy, to turn off horizontal scrolling by sliding over my touchpad? Or at least move it so that it scrolls by sliding across the bottom like in Windows instead of on the right side?
[22:01] <WIGGMPk> cyr1: I guess people would still want to be cautious.. makes sence
[22:01] <cyr1> WIGGMPk : but sometimes it's unintentional, say a high volume mail server
[22:01] <Pelo> Vi5in,  build-essential is a meta package, ( it installs other pacages) if you look at it in synaptic, right click properties, you'll get a list of the packages it installs as dependencies you'll want to purge those first,  purge = uninstall completely ,
[22:02] <ljuwaidah> Some_Person: system > preferences > mouse > touchpad
[22:02] <obf213> tried kubuntu 8.10 and almost died, so glad to be back on ubuntu. big fan of the auto changing virtual screen size
[22:02] <cyr1> WIGGMPk : you'd want a seperate /var partition (and preferably a seperate drive array) for something like that
[22:02] <Some_Person> ljuwaidah: thanks
[22:02] <WIGGMPk> cyr1: i see
[22:02] <deepfreez> I have nvidia 8500 how i can install the drivers
[22:02] <ljuwaidah> Some_Person: any time
[22:02] <deepfreez> ?
[22:02] <Pelo> Some_Person, you can probably do that in X by specyfiying a behaviour for your mouse , not quite sure what it wouel have to be
[22:03] <cyr1> WIGGMPk : for a workstation, i agree, /home is a good choice to make its own partition, and I'd probably give a good 60+% of the drive to it
[22:03] <paolob> Hi guys! Anyone could tell me if exists a linux program that receives a set of photos and makes a dvd with transitions? thank you
[22:03] <ljuwaidah> deepfreez: system > administration > hardware drivers
[22:03] <Some_Person> Only problem is that it seems like its impossible to disable horizontal scrolling
[22:03] <Vi5in> Pelo: right, thanks a lot I appreciate it! this is a brand new system. I don't think I installed build-essential before. so it looks like it's installing everything now. thanks a bunch again
[22:03] <ggreer> is there a way I can get alt+tab to show all windows instead of just windows on the current desktop?
[22:03] <deepfreez> tnx
[22:03] <nilse> I can not figure out how to get my mx1000 mouse working with this new hal stuff. most searches i get on google and the support forum are people that enabled the old configuration in their xorg.conf instead of solving it with hal.
[22:03] <blippe> cyr1: got a small drive?
[22:03] <ggreer> it used to work that way in xubuntu :/
[22:03] <thiebaude> rlaager:you have 8.10?
[22:03] <Some_Person> When you uncheck it, the horizontal scrolling is on the righthand side. When you check it, horizontal scrolling is on the bottom
[22:03] <WIGGMPk> cyr1: thank you for your advice, I appreciate it
[22:03] <cyr1> blippe : naw, we were just discussing the plus/minuses of multiple partitions on a workstation
[22:03] <spydon> how do I run the x-init script when I am logged in?
[22:04] <obf213> hey, the preference for system beep used to be in sound? now where is it, i want to turn it off?
[22:04] <BoomShaka> surely there is someone here who could help me figure out how to get my dual monitors to display correctly?
[22:04] <nilse> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MX1000Mouse this link is not updated for intrepid. can the beardy person who knows how intrepid and hal works please update it
[22:04] <Pelo> Vi5in, I assumed you had biuild esseintal isntalled, those are the required packages to compile stuff manualy,  that should be all you needed then
[22:04] <johnbollwitt> Hi everyone.  I know it might be a long shot, but does anyone have any insight on getting Railo installed and working on Ubuntu?
[22:04] <yowshi> damaltor: THANK YOU that worked perfectly
[22:04] <blippe> ggreer: if you are using compiz, try adding the configurator for compiz, or start using ctrl-alt-tabb :/
[22:04] <blippe> cyr1: i know
[22:04] <BoomShaka> my secondary monitor is displaced by about 200 pixels, its driving me insane!
[22:04] <Pelo> BoomShaka, what video card and what is the issue ?
[22:04] <obf213> nvm looks like its a bug
[22:04] <yowshi> damaltor: if you would be so kind explain what the heck i just fixed and how
[22:04] <blippe> BoomShaka: which card you got, what monitors?
[22:04] <BoomShaka> Pelo, nvidia. binary drivers, using twin view, secondary monitor is 200 px "off screen"
[22:05] <rickforth> Has anyone here able to help me getting my Sigmatel STAC9271D working under Ibex - when i'm using an optical audio cable?  It used to work under 8.04
[22:05] <billybigrigger> why is my /var/log dir 2.3 GB is this normal?
[22:05] <Vi5in> Pelo: thanks, I wasn't aware of that. I'm from a BSD background and there you usually have the toolchain already setup.
[22:05] <Some_Person> BoomShaka: Most monitors let you "move" the picture. Check its controls on the front.
[22:05] <Pelo> BoomShaka, tried using  nvidia-settings to do the setup ?
[22:05] <BoomShaka> blippe, nvidia, laptop (dell 1720 monitor) and dell 19" widescreen
[22:05] <billybigrigger> for a laptop, 2.3 GB of logs seems kind of excessive
[22:05] <BoomShaka> Some_Person, its not that, ive tried moving it using the monitor controls, no dice
[22:05] <BoomShaka> Pelo, ye, im using it
[22:05] <obf213> did ubuntu add some auto mouse movement stuff? my mouse seems to be moivng on its own at times. like if i double right click real fast on desktop it jets to a corner
[22:06] <Pelo> BoomShaka, have the ppl in #nvidia been any help ?
[22:06] <xiamx> did anyone realize that ubuntu_ca repo is becoming slower? i used to have 700KB/s download speed, now, it's only 23KB/s
[22:06] <JoshH> after upgrading to ibex, i have a weird click focus issue/bug.  i have 3 monitors, 2 graphics cards, and 2 x screens.  one screen is twinview, the other is separate.  the issue is that when clicking a window on the other screen, it won't take the focus, until i click another window on the different screen, then click back on the window i wanted to click at first.  any tips?
[22:06] <cyr1> billybigrigger : check and see how many rotations of syslog, etc, are in /var/log
[22:06] <BoomShaka> Pelo, not really, ive been chatting to them
[22:06] <Some_Person> xiamx: Change repos. I am in USA and use AU repos because of speed.
[22:06] <ggreer> xiamx: yeah, it's because there are no US west coast cities in the locale chooser in the 8.10 installer
[22:06] <thiebaude> xiamx:8.10 uses too much memory for me
[22:06] <okasa> (already asked in #netbeans with no response) is anyone else having a problem with netbeans in ubuntu 8.10 where the spacing between lines is approx double spaced?
[22:06] <thiebaude> sorry
[22:06] <ggreer> so all the west coast americans use vancouver
[22:06] <Pelo> xiamx, use the software sources tool to search for the fastest server for you
[22:06] <ggreer> and that means they use the canadian servers
[22:06] <WildCaterpillar> can someone explain the difference between libs in /usr/lib and /usr/lib/sse2
[22:07] <Some_Person> !intrepid
[22:07] <thiebaude> !ibex

[22:07] <ljuwaidah> how come the save session option doesn't work for me?
[22:08] <magnetron> winterelf→ we don't provide xmms
[22:08] <magnetron> winterelf→ thus, we cannot provide support for it
[22:08] <Pelo> later folks
[22:08] <biggi_mat> winterelf, probably the readme of it does...but anyway-> it's probably ./configure; make; make install
[22:08] <Mirrakor> I'd like to listen/watch this stream: http://dd-radio.com:8000/listen.pls
[22:08] <biggi_mat> Or something like that, depends on configure file existance mostly

[22:14] <Stramash00> Hi, someone switched my computer off while it was installing 8.10. It was almost certainly stopped at the first question (Replace this file with this one?). I get "Kernel Panic - not syncing" when I boot now. There are three kernels listed. When booting to either of them I get the splash screen at proper res then the display flickers a couple of times but I get no login. I can log on a console.
