[00:00] <woody86> is anyone here good with deciphering bootcharts?
[00:00] <NDle55> zsquareplusc: ty, i'll try it out
[00:01] <hacked```> guys, you know grep, how can i make sure that 2 strings are boh on the same line, i tried grep -E '(STRING1|STRING2)' but that fails miserably
[00:01] <pumpkin> i want to burn a DVD under 8.10. The system is a fresh install and it cannot find the DVD-R. Windows and debian find and write these mediums just fine. What next?
[00:01] <minimec> TVVCR6: I don't have a clue.
[00:01] <TVVCR6> D:
[00:01] <TVVCR6> Well what do I do?
[00:01] <wayneward> have you updated?

[00:02] <apeiron> hacked```, You can either pipe grep repeatedly, or specify multiple patterns with -e
[00:02] <wayneward> pumkin have you updated
[00:02] <storrgie1> erUSUL: anyone here you know that might be able to help with this issue? its been about a week and I only have some little success
[00:02] <matitaccia> Lol... guys I have messed up with the packages. And now firefox doesn't work anymore. LOL!
[00:02] <apeiron> hacked```, | means OR, not AND.
[00:02] <pumpkin> wayneward, yes.
[00:02] <wayneward> tried k3b?
[00:02] <NET||abuse> hi guys.. we have an older buffalotech terastation, has 4 250GB disks in there in raid array, basicaly it shares out to the network using a simple user and password, it's an smb share, i believe it uses linux and samba(not sure what version) but the others in teh house can connect, using vista with that ntlm v1 and allow lower authentication option turned on. I can seemingly connect, window comes up for the share on the host, but the share is empty, there's
[00:03] <hacked```> apeira, i know | means OR not AND, but & doesnt work for AND
[00:03] <pumpkin> wayneward, it's a freah install and all updates are installed. k3b is not part of the default install and my internet-con is 5KB/s.
[00:03] <NET||abuse> Is there a way to interogate these things a little more closely.? seeing as it is definately working for the windows laptops on the network
[00:03] <hacked```> apeiron, i am using -E
[00:03] <apeiron> hacked```, Yes. That's not how regex works.
[00:03] <apeiron> hacked```, -e is  not -E
[00:03] <ardchoille> I think my alsamixer is broke, it only shows Master. The Volume Control window, however, shows several settings in the Playback tab. How do I get more settings in alsamixer?
[00:03] <Konstanty> zsquareplusc: are there any scanning programs for ubuntu that are not based on SANE?
[00:03] <wayneward> i use to use > at a console > cdrecord --scanbus
[00:03] <wayneward> see if it can see the writer..
[00:04] <pumpkin> wayneward, yes, the writer is listed as 1,0,0.
[00:04] <wayneward> ah right... so its the app you are using i suppose
[00:04] <wayneward> or permisions
[00:04] <Zzarkc-20> Hey, I need some help installing ubuntu. I've been looking online everywhere, and I can't figure out the beginning partitioning scheme. I'm trying to make a dual boot, and none of the partitioning options will work for me.
[00:05] <minimec> TVVCR6: Open a console an type arecord -l Is the card recognizid? can you http://paste.ubuntu.com/ me the result of arecord -l?
[00:05] <wayneward> what program are you using to write the cd?
[00:05] <zsquareplusc> ardchoille: it shows the pulseaudio device then. you can select which hardware it controls and switch it to the real card
[00:05] <zsquareplusc> Konstanty: don't know i only used xsane
[00:05] <ardchoille> zsquareplusc: How do I do that?
[00:05] <Konstanty> damn
[00:05] <Melik> whats a good program to trransfer music to an ipod?
[00:05] <pumpkin> wayneward, the internal gnome-writer and brasero.
[00:05] <aprilhare> hello. having problems printing. - Tried printing a document to my HP LaserJet 1020 (printer previously identified as working). forgot to add paper :) printing queue paused as you'd expect. no option to try again, so I reset the printer and now nothing prints. tried emptying the printer queue and that didn't do it. is there a way to get things going again that isn't rebooting the computer?
[00:05] <guilhermee> someone here with problems with wireless in a hp dv5 laptop ?
[00:05] <apeiron> !iPod > Melik
[00:06] <eddVRS> hacked```: can you pipe results from one grep to another?
[00:06] <erUSUL> storrgie1: i asked someone he will be here in a while
[00:06] <TVVCR6> minimec: http://paste.ubuntu.com/73580/
[00:06] <zsquareplusc> ardchoille: right click the icon and use the properties dialog
[00:06] <jasuus> !iPod > jasuus
[00:06] <apeiron> eddVRS, Multiple -e invocations does the same thing.
[00:06] <storrgie1> erUSUL: thanks for the continued help!
[00:06] <yoyo> rhythembox works for me...i spelled it wrong though Melik
[00:06] <Spaff> hello, does anyone have any ideas on how to stop my ubuntu remapping my drives each time I try and boot it up from grub? I cannot get it to load as the HDD's always swap round with each reboot. Any help massively appreciated
[00:06] <ardchoille> zsquareplusc: in alsamixer?
[00:06] <Konstanty> My scanner is apparently not supported by sane.  are there any alternatives?
[00:06] <eddVRS> apeiron: I've not used -e, I'll read up
[00:06] <Zzarkc-20> Anybody got the time to help me install Ubuntu? I can't figure out the beginning partitioning scheme. None of the options on the Live CD will work for me, since I'm trying to make a dual boot.
[00:06] <zsquareplusc> ardchoille: i meant the speaker icon in the gui. qith the cmdline alsamixer, try -c 1
[00:07] <pumpkin> wayneward, the strang thing is: i inserted a blank DVD at work and it created a Blank-CD/DVD icon on the desktop. Now that does no longer works. The empty DVD is ignored...
[00:07] <ikonia> storrgie1: hey man, whats the problem
[00:07] <wayneward> mm
[00:07] <rayr> im trying to make it so my prompt doesnt show my my full path, just the working dir. I know it's in bashirc but I can't seem to find that line, any help?
[00:07] <erUSUL> !dualboot | Zzarkc-20 the installer was designed with dual boot in mind
[00:07] <yoyo> hey guy as far as fstab...how do i make it so I dont have to be root to edit the files in the drives I mount in media....like right now when i try to cut and paste something from one drive to another i have to sudo nautilus it
[00:07] <wayneward> look at your permsions in user settings..
[00:07] <ikonia> rayr: PS1
[00:07] <minimec> TVVCR6: Looks to me that the card is recognized corretly. Is that a clean ubuntu intrepid install?
[00:08] <wayneward> see if you have cd wrting permisions
[00:08] <rayr> k, thanks. Looks like some nasty Regex
[00:08] <ardchoille> zsquareplusc: ah, "-c 0" worked, thanks
[00:08] <Konstanty> My scanner is apparently not supported by sane.  are there any alternatives?
[00:08] <TVVCR6> minimec: Clean install.
[00:08] <TVVCR6> minimec: Just booted into not too long ago :)
[00:08] <wayneward> try sudo xsane from a prompt...
[00:08] <erUSUL> Konstanty: alternatives to sane? no afaik
[00:08] <gwennn> heeelp!I can't have my visual settings on startup!I wish I have the window manager but it is not loaded because because I have no visual effects
[00:08] <pumpkin> wayneward, i only see "use CD-ROM devices"...
[00:08] <wayneward> mmm
[00:08] <minimec> TVVCR6: So you are using pulseaudio I guess. Do you have some USB Speakers on that machine?
[00:09] <wayneward> weird how you would have access then not
[00:09] <Blonde-ambition> Need help with networking in intrepid64 bit my wifi keeps pulsing signal strengths from 1 to 100% and in between
[00:09] <TVVCR6> minimec: USB speakers?
[00:09] <wayneward> was that before updates or after
[00:09] <toastedmilk> I'm having some ridiculous problems with networking.  Anyone interested?
[00:09] <minimec> TVVCR6: Speakers that you can plug via USb and not via the audio jack.
[00:09] <Gr33n3gg> toastedmilk: Sure
[00:09] <TVVCR6> No
[00:10] <Spaff> ikonia, n8tuser was asking your advice on a problem I had with drives earlier. We have managed to get a bit further but I am still struggling to get my ubuntu to boot. I now know which drive is which and the order they should boot in but each time I reboot the drives swap round according to fdisk, meaning whatever changes I make to my menu.lst are in vain as the HDD's have switched. Any ideas at all?
[00:10] <TVVCR6> I have Logitech X540 speakers
[00:10] <TVVCR6> But one thing comes to mind
[00:10] <pumpkin> wayneward, afterwards. ... where does gnome store the data to copy on the DVD? there has to be a link-dir somewhere ...
[00:10] <TVVCR6> minimec: The 1010LT has multiple outputs
[00:10] <hacked```> edd, why not
[00:10] <ikonia> Spaff: your menu.lst should be using uuid's not /dev/sda style entries
[00:10] <wolki> hi there, i was wondering whether it is possible to run virtualbox with host networking (I want to put apache etc into the vm) and still have my network managed with networkmanager?
[00:10] <conal> i'm new to ubuntu.  does anyone have suggestions for dvd video backup/dup software?  something fast and painless.  also, ripping/conversion to standard (non-dvd) would be great.
[00:10] <TVVCR6> minimec: the speakers are plugged into line 3/4
[00:10] <ikonia> Spaff: that way the uuid makes the disk device not important
[00:10] <toastedmilk> Gr33n3gg, Okay.  My internet works randomly.  Sometimes when I run Gnome it'll work, but when it's not it still says it's connected.  I haven't tested KDE or Xscript, but I imagine they have the same problem.
[00:10] <jannott> !source
[00:10] <zsquareplusc> Spaff: isnt that solved by using the uuid instead of the /dev/sdx?
[00:10] <TVVCR6> But by default the card outputs to line 1/2
[00:10] <apeiron> wolki, Yes.
[00:10] <wayneward> it will just hold that in /tmp
[00:10] <apeiron> !VirtualBox > wolki
[00:10] <ColOfNature> anyone know the easiest way to make my terminal open maximezed?
[00:11] <TVVCR6> minimec: You think that could be the problem?
[00:11] <Spaff> ikonia, I see, so I need to reedit my whole menu.lst?
[00:11] <Blonde-ambition> Anyone?
[00:11] <Gr33n3gg> toastedmilk: Shouldn't matter what DE you run, its probably a problem with your network.
[00:11] <ikonia> Spaff: yup
[00:11] <yoyo> hey guy as far as fstab...how do i make it so I dont have to be root to edit the files in the drives I mount in media....like right now when i try to cut and paste something from one drive to another i have to sudo nautilus it
[00:11] <minimec> TVVCR6: I would try to install pavucontrol via Synaptic. Pavucontrol gives you some configuration and info about Pulseaudio.
[00:11] <ikonia> Spaff: do you know how to use uuid's in grub ?
[00:11] <apeiron> wolki, Just set that up today myself. :)
[00:11] <Zzarkc-20> Right, so in the partitioning, I don't know how much space I can change on one drive, and I want to use parts of other disks. That's my problem with the install.
[00:11] <erUSUL> storrgie1: ask ikonia
[00:11] <toastedmilk> Gr33n3gg, Other devices on the network work fine
[00:11] <TVVCR6> I'll try
[00:11] <ikonia> storrgie1: make it quick, I'm walking up stairs to bed.... ;)
[00:11] <Spaff> ikonia, I'm a frayed knot, if you know a good tutorial or can advise me on a term to google, I'd be mucho grateful
[00:11] <ikonia> Spaff: hang on
[00:12] <toastedmilk> Gr33n3gg, my linksys router is configured, and I have a realtek nic
[00:12] <minimec> TVVCR6: Could be, that you have to choose another output ;)
[00:12] <TVVCR6> :)
[00:12] <Spaff> thanks ikonia
[00:12] <Gr33n3gg> toastedmilk:  Run ifconfig (in the terminal) when your net is down, and see if you have an IP (either by DHCP or static)
[00:12] <conal> A related FAQ pointer would do fine (for DVD backup etc)
[00:12] <Spreadsheet> hello
[00:12] <wolki> apeiron: thanks! I've seen that link, and it involves adding eth0 to /etc/network/interfaces, which in the past disabled network manager for that interface... is that no longer the case?
[00:12] <ikonia> Spaff: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/73584/ there is an example
[00:12] <ColOfNature> what's the easiest way to make my terminal open maximized?
[00:12] <ikonia> Spaff: change the uuid's to reference the correct uuid of your disk
[00:12] <apeiron> wolki, I don't know, I don't use network manager.
[00:13] <zsquareplusc> trying to network booting the livecd.. it doesn't find the network driver in the initrd. is someone with experience in that field?
[00:13] <ikonia> Spaff: get the uuid's with the command "blkid"
[00:13] <tux9778> hi spreadsheet
[00:13] <ikonia> Spaff: does that make sense
[00:13] <Spreadsheet> when i go near the close button the titlebar goes white, someone told me to use emerald but i like the Human titlebar, what can i do?
[00:13] <apeiron> I have a very simple network set up here which won't change--I did this on a desktop.
[00:13] <toastedmilk> Gr33n3gg, Will do.  It's weird though.  When I start the computer it won't work, but when I restart my router and cable modem, it works.
[00:13] <Spreadsheet> im using nVidia
[00:13] <Spreadsheet> i got ubuntu-desktop on kubuntu
[00:13] <Blonde-ambition> anyone in here using intrepid 64bit?
[00:13] <Konstanty> ok, so the only way for me to scan is to use xsane, or some other sane based program, in yet those are incompatible with my scanner.  I am loving getting rid of tinyXP more and more every day
[00:13] <Gr33n3gg> toastedmilk: Whoops, I meant 'ifconfig eth0' or whatever your interface is.
[00:13] <Slart> conal: I use.. devede to create video dvd's.. you have k9copy to make backups.. and acidrip to rip dvds to avis or whatever format you like
[00:13] <rayr> can someone paste me their PS1 line (color) in .basrc?
[00:13] <toastedmilk> Gr33n3gg, yeah, i got it
[00:13] <aprilhare> Blonde-ambition, ya
[00:14] <Slart> conal: that's just the software I've used.. there are lots of alternatives
[00:14] <ikonia> rayr: just google PS1 setting - there are tutorials
[00:14] <rayr> i'm trying to get rid of all dirs other then working from my prompt
[00:14] <Spaff> ikonia, I think so. I get my UUID's with the blkid command then edit my menu.lst as per your pastebin?
[00:14] <rayr> ok
[00:14] <rayr> thanks
[00:14] <ikonia> Spaff: you got it !
[00:14] <conal> Slart: i'll try them.  thx. :)
[00:14] <wolki> apeiron: ah ok, I need NM, but I'll try it. thanks!
[00:14] <Spaff> ikonia, genius, cheers
[00:14] <storrgie> erUSUL: i dropped, dont know if u responded since my question about mounting
[00:14] <Slart> conal: you're welcome
[00:14] <toastedmilk> Gr33n3gg, when it's not working and I ping my router, it returns %0 successful packets
[00:14] <zsquareplusc> Konstanty: you could install windoze in virtualbox for example, it can access usb devices. sad, but it could work so that you could scan w/o dualbooting
[00:14] <Blonde-ambition> aprilhare im having weird issues with me realtek8185 nic my wifi strength keeps pulsing from 1 to 100% and inbetween
[00:14] <ColOfNature> how can i make my terminal open maximized?
[00:14] <Spreadsheet> anyone?
[00:14] <rayr> that's the search I needed PS1 bash setting, thanks
[00:14] <storrgie> How can I mount two disks so that they dont act as removable media?
[00:14] <Gr33n3gg> toastedmilk: Hmm, IMO I would think that its your router and/or network.
[00:15] <TVVCR6> minimec: I installed pavucontrol, now what?
[00:15] <Slart> Spreadsheet: do you expect us to scroll up to find out what the original question was? repeat the whole questions instead
[00:15] <aprilhare> Blonde-ambition, sorry not using laptop using desktop w/ethernet
[00:15] <erUSUL> storrgie: list them and mount them from /etc/fstab
[00:15] <toastedmilk> Gr33n3gg, probably.  thanks!
[00:15] <erUSUL> !fstab | storrgie
[00:15] <TVVCR6> minimec: It says that there are no output devices available o.o
[00:15] <storrgie> erUSUL: but to what mountpoint?
[00:15] <Gr33n3gg> toastedmilk: Try #networking for networking help
[00:15] <Blonde-ambition> i am as well
[00:15] <Blonde-ambition> the chipset in my nci is a realtek8185
[00:15] <Blonde-ambition> nic*
[00:15] <Spreadsheet> im using nVidia and when i go near the close/maximize/minimize buttons the titlebar goes white, and i want to keep the Human titlebars and not use emerald
[00:16] <minimec> TVVCR6: So you have a configuration problem!
[00:16] <erUSUL> storrgie: /mnt/somthing (if you mount them in /media/ they will appear on gnome desktop and in Places)
[00:16] <Spreadsheet> i have Intrepid, ubuntu-desktop on Kubuntu
[00:16] <TVVCR6> minimec: OK?
[00:16] <aprilhare> no networking problems here
[00:16] <aprilhare> sorry
[00:16] <ColOfNature> how can i make my bash terminal maximized by default?
[00:16] <conal> Slart: have you used k9copy in gnome?
[00:16] <kilrae> ah 2.53 GHz of dual core goodness
[00:16] <Blonde-ambition> ok thanks anyways
[00:16] <erUSUL> storrgie: you can mount things in any empty directory you want /media/ and /mnt/ are conventions
[00:16] <Slart> Spreadsheet: you could try asking that in the compiz channel.. they might have better answers for you.. #compiz-fusion is the name
[00:16] <Spreadsheet> anyone?
[00:16] <storrgie> erUSUL: I did do that, here is my fstab: http://pastebin.com/d6c181588
[00:16] <Spreadsheet> ok
[00:17] <storrgie> erUSUL: but when i go there, i cant see any files
[00:17] <Slart> conal: not recently.. but about a year ago or so
[00:17] <SexyJames1337> hi everyone
[00:17] <aprilhare> quad core goodness here 2.4 GHz
[00:17] <Slart> conal: if you're worried that it's an KDE application you don't have to be
[00:17] <TVVCR6> minimec: Where should I look?
[00:17] <Slart> conal: it will run nicely in gnome too
[00:17] <aprilhare> fastest computer here? :)
[00:17] <kilrae> i am in the wrong channel :P i just reinstalled and forgot to change the auto-join
[00:17]  * aprilhare would be surprised if it was
[00:17] <storrgie> erUSUL: http://pastebin.com/d2305c09
[00:18] <conal> Slart: terrific.  yeah, that was my worry.  i'm really new to unix.  just switched from many years on windows.
[00:18] <Spreadsheet> also where do i change my mouse
[00:18] <ColOfNature> how do i make my bash terminal maximized by default?
[00:18] <Spreadsheet> *cursor
[00:18] <erUSUL> storrgie: cat /proc/mounts
[00:18] <Slart> conal: when you install an KDE app it will also install some KDE libraries.. enough to make the application work
[00:18] <splinter> i have a scsi cd rom and when i insert a blank disk it shows up with 7 blank disk on the desk top.  How do i remove them?
[00:18] <SexyJames1337> I'm fairly new to ubuntu, and wanted to install themes. Installed clearlooks without a hitch, but I'm trying to install an icon theme, "glass icons" and it skins some icons but not others, such as firefox, whereas I'm pretty sure it skins icons like that automatically. The same happens with any other icon pack I try. What can I do to make it skin all icons?
[00:19] <storrgie> erUSUL: so messy: http://pastebin.com/d3cb82745
[00:19] <conal> Slart: cool.  i have lots of free disk space.
[00:19] <statim> question for anyone who has ever used centos/rh ... is there something similar to chkconfig and service commands in ubuntu for managing the init.d/rc stuff?
[00:19] <Slart> !boot | statim
[00:19] <ColOfNature> how do i make my bash terminal maximized by default? anyone?
[00:19] <apeiron> SexyJames1337, If it doesn't have an icon for something, it doesn't have it. There's nothing you can do about that.
[00:19] <mike909> splinter: can you right click unmount?
[00:19] <splinter> i have a scsi cd rom and when i insert a blank disk it shows up with 7 blank disk on the desk top.  How do i remove them?
[00:20] <statim> thanks
[00:20] <yoyo> hey guy as far as fstab...how do i make it so I dont have to be root to edit the files in the drives I mount in media....like right now when i try to cut and paste something from one drive to another i have to sudo nautilus it
[00:20] <Gaming4JC> Hello, I just installed Ubuntu 8.10 (I've been using 8.04) and in the Network Connections there is now no option for Normal PPP Dial-Up modems?
[00:20] <SexyJames1337> apeiron: thanks for your reply, but I've checked through the packs and they do have the correct icons. they just dont apply them when I activate the icon theme
[00:20] <Gaming4JC> How can I connect to the internet...?
[00:20] <erUSUL> storrgie: the two volumes appear as no mounted... do "sudo mount -a"
[00:20] <minimec> TVVCR6: Start with that and try to find other links http://www.nabble.com/Ubuntu-Studio-and-Delta-1010-td12228233.html
[00:20] <apeiron> Odd.
[00:20] <SexyJames1337> this is with 8.10 i installed yesterday, just so you know
[00:21] <storrgie> erUSUL: uh oh: http://pastebin.com/d418e4f5d
[00:21] <splinter> mike909 there is no unmount option.
[00:21] <wayneward> still got skipping issues with audio on intrepid is there a lot of difference in the sound server setup compared to 8.0.4?
[00:21] <TVVCR6> minimec: Which mixer should I use? ADC or DAC?
[00:21] <Gaming4JC> Basically on 8.04 you could just go to Network Configuration and enable your PPP Dial-Up Serial Modem... but now
[00:22] <Gaming4JC> I only see DSL...
[00:22] <Gaming4JC> :s
[00:22] <pumpkin> wayneward, and the trick is ...*drums* ... not to follow the powertop recomandation: you need hal pooling the bloody CD/DVD-drive in order to write. At least it now started the backup... ETA 30min.
[00:22] <blinkn1> hello
[00:22] <ColOfNature> can i make my bash terminal maximized by default? for the 7th time...
[00:22] <storrgie> erUSUL: got it, i spelled relatime as realtime
[00:22] <wayneward> so u fixed it!!
[00:22] <minimec> TVVCR6: I have no idea... Sorry
[00:22] <TVVCR6> :(
[00:22] <erUSUL> storrgie: :)
[00:23] <storrgie> erUSUL: best problems are the ones that solve themselves, haha. So now that they are mounted, do i get any indication in my gnome menu?
[00:24] <Spaff> ikonia, editing my menu.lst to include the stuff from your pastebin, I've got "ro single" after the current UUID, do I want to keep or bin this?
[00:24] <erUSUL> storrgie: you shouldn't. it was what you wanted no? if you want them to appear on Places and the like mount them in /media/
[00:24] <pumpkin> wayneward, i will trust the burn tool AFTER i checked the disc with another PC.
[00:24] <matreya6> I'm trying to connect 2 computers running intrepid with a crossover ethernet cable to the 2nd nic of both machines. Both NIC's are crossover sensing. IP-addresses set to <IP_ADDRESS> /<IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS> respectively. After I connect the cable Internet on the pc with <IP_ADDRESS> cuts out. How can I do this properly?
[00:24] <blinkn1> if you had 3 hard drives 300GB,250GB (sata) and 500GB(sata) whcih would be best to install ubuntu with mybuntu ?
[00:24] <storrgie> erUSUL: can I make a 'shortcut' to them?
[00:24] <Gaming4JC> ahem... so how do I dialup on 8.10?
[00:24] <wayneward> going to reboot into another kernel BRB...  bloody skipping is driving me mad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[00:24] <erUSUL> storrgie: yep you can symlink to your destop if you want.
[00:24] <linxeh> matreya6: Im guessing, but perhaps you've got conflicting default routes set up on the two interfaces or something
[00:24] <matreya6> Gaming4JC, through ppp
[00:25] <Gaming4JC> matreya6: It's not like 8.04, how do I access ppp?
[00:25] <Gaming4JC> I usually use the gnome Network Configuration
[00:25] <ColOfNature> 8: can i make my bash terminal maximized by default?
[00:25] <TVVCR6> What the hell?
[00:26] <TVVCR6> I can't log in as root. Can someone help me?
[00:26] <SexyJames1337> When i install icon theme packs, it doesnt skin all icons e.g. for firefox, even though it comes with those applicable icons. It only skins some. What could be the problem?
[00:26] <Slart> ColOfNature: I'm sure you've already seen this forum thread... I mean.. since it was the first hit when I googled... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=482203... oh.. and I think it's mentioned in the man page too..
[00:26] <erUSUL> !root | TVVCR6
[00:26] <matreya6> Gaming4JC, do you have a working driver for your modem?
[00:26] <minimec> TVVCR6: sudo -i
[00:26] <TVVCR6> oops
[00:26] <TVVCR6> Thanks
[00:26] <user777> is there a way to import/transfer the customized appearance settings of one user to a livecd so those cutom appearances will be there when booting from the cd?
[00:26] <splinter> is there a good cd label maker for ubuntu 8.10?
[00:27] <matreya6> linxeh: both default routes are set to my adsl router
[00:27] <Spreadsheet> splinter: CD Labels? like lightscribe?
[00:27] <ColOfNature> Slart: no, obviously my google-fu sucks. thanks.
[00:27] <Spreadsheet> i believe they have something on Lucenta (or something)
[00:27] <Gaming4JC> matreya6: I've been using Ubuntu 8.04, yes. It's a Linux Hardware Modem by Trendnet from New Egg. All I need to know is how to Dial up via the normal (but now updated) System->Administration->Network.
[00:27] <erUSUL> storrgie: but if you want them to appear on your desktop is easier to just mount them under /media/
[00:27] <erUSUL> storrgie: instead of /mnt/
[00:27] <`vip> quick question, thinking of switching back to nix, but need to know if I can use internet sharing from my tmobile wing
[00:27] <TVVCR6> Now it's not letting me cd to the desktop
[00:28] <rdz> ikonia, you still awake?
[00:28] <splinter> Spreadsheet, no, like a normal label maker that you can make 2 offset labels one at a time ..
[00:28] <Spreadsheet> oh
[00:28] <Spreadsheet> i dont know
[00:28] <matreya6> Gaming4JC, is there any row referring to your modem in Network Manager?
[00:28] <mike909> anyone have an easy way to make evolution send me email alerts for meetings?
[00:28] <rdz> ikonia, i accidently solved the acpi-cpufreq compiling issue.. i just symlinked Module.symvers from linux-headers-$VERSION to linux-source-$VERSION
[00:28] <Slart> `vip: tmobile wing??.. you can use your computer as a router if you want that.. type !ics here in the channel for some bot goodness
[00:29] <TVVCR6> !nvidia
[00:29] <Gaming4JC> matreya6: I'm in WindowsXP right now. But I think I found something over at http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6072919&postcount=14
[00:29] <SexyJames1337> I'm trying to install icon theme packs but they only skin some icons, not all even though the packs contain the icons for those applicable programs/folders etc. Can anyone help?
[00:29] <Gaming4JC> I'm going to do a manual terminal command and see if I can't get to it...
[00:29] <`vip> slart, the reason i ask is because I dont have internet where i live. my wife and i sold out house to move in with her parents so my wife can take care of her father while her mother works ... and my mother in law doesnt see it fit to have an internet connection because she is technology disabled
[00:29] <`vip> :l
[00:29] <Gaming4JC> brb
[00:30] <wayneward> seems slicker on the 2.6.27-8-generic kernel
[00:30] <`vip> so right now my only inet connection is through my phone, which isnt that slow
[00:30] <wayneward> no skipping so far......
[00:30] <CarlFK> what is the .deb to install flash in firefox?
[00:30] <Qster> i need a script to be run on boot before login what is the best way i go about this? its just executing a program
[00:30] <wayneward> i think its the  kernel 2.6.27-7-eeepc-lean kernel
[00:30] <CarlFK> flashplugin-nonfree i thik...
[00:31] <Slart> `vip: ahh.. now I see.. yes that should work.. if you can get ubuntu to talk to the phone and get it connected that way you can share that connection to other computers on a local lan or something
[00:31] <djhash> how can I compare 2 text files
[00:31] <Freek> What file systems should I use when partitioning my hard drive for \, home, and swap?
[00:31] <`vip> Slart, ok ... because now with windows i just plug it in via USB, and click connect
[00:31] <wayneward> ill just compile the mad wifi driver and use the stock ubuntu kernel i think its fixed it!!!!!!!
[00:31] <wayneward> great
[00:32] <ColOfNature> Slart: actually, i had seen it elsewhere and it doesn't answer the question. I want to start the terminal maximized; ie  not at a particular size but at the maximum size
[00:32] <lindenle> is g++-3.4 not in ibex?
[00:32] <CarlFK> Freek: ext3 for / and home, swap for swap
[00:32] <Spreadsheet> lindenle: no
[00:32] <Spreadsheet> its not o_0
[00:32] <Spreadsheet> i had to apt-get it
[00:32] <Freek> There's a "swap" file system?
[00:32] <lindenle> Spreadsheet: from where
[00:32] <Slart> `vip: the hard part is getting the internet connection working on the phone.. I use my mobile phone for internet connection from my laptop and it works.. but it took a while and several phone calls to my mobile phone carrier before I found someone that at least understood what I was asking about
[00:32] <matreya6> How do I get Network Manager to delete lines in /etc/resolv.conf? I made the file unwritable by root, but still that line gets deleted.
[00:32] <lindenle> i cannot apt-get install it
[00:32] <Spreadsheet> Freek: no
[00:32] <Spreadsheet> lindenle: huh
[00:32] <ColOfNature> Slart: oops, sorry. tl;dr my mistake
[00:32] <`vip> ok
[00:32] <Spreadsheet> i forgot
[00:33] <Spreadsheet> i might not have
[00:33] <lindenle> Spreadsheet No candidate version found for g++-3.4
[00:33] <mike909> djhash: use sdiff file1 file2
[00:33] <`vip> many thanks, Slart
[00:33] <Spreadsheet> i was trying to do something in KDE
[00:33] <matreya6> How do I get Network Manager to stop deleting lines in /etc/resolv.conf? I made the file unwritable by root, but still that line gets deleted.
[00:33] <Spreadsheet> lindenle: sorry i dont know
[00:33] <user777> is there a way to import/transfer the customized appearance settings of one user to a livecd so those cutom appearances will be there when booting from the cd?
[00:33] <Freek> What sizes should I use for my partitions: Win2k, \, home, and swap?
[00:33] <Slart> `vip: you're welcome and good luck
[00:34] <Slart> matreya6: what are you trying to do? use a special dns-server before using one of the dhcp supplied ones?
[00:34] <Freek> I have a 40 GB hard drive
[00:34] <mike909> anyone have an easy way to make evolution send me email alerts for meetings?
[00:34] <matreya6> Freek, use 2x your RAM size for swap, the rest of the sizes
[00:34] <kfonda> !ics
[00:35] <SexyJames1337> hi, im trying to install icon theme packs but they wont skin all of the icons on my pc, only some, even though the packs contain those icons. what could be the problem?
[00:35] <Slart> Freek: I'd go with 20GB for /, 1xRAM for swap and the rest for /home
[00:35] <Spaff> right, anyone? I thought my ubuntu wouldn't load up because my HDD's kept swapping position however my grub menu.lst definitely has the correct UUID of the root partition it should be using therefore the root (hd2,4) shouldn't matter, right? Anyone have any ideas?
[00:35] <Freek> What about Win2k?
[00:35] <matreya6> Slart, I'm trying to tie 2 computers together on their 2nd ethernet devices, using a crosslink cable. As soon as I connect the cable Network Manager deletes my nameserver gateway line
[00:36] <d0nets> hey if i followed this tutorial ( http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=3&url=http%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Fsoftware%2Fhow-to%2Fset-up-vnc-on-ubuntu-in-four-steps-317125.php&ei=ug0iSduSE5y-MbvZme0J&usg=AFQjCNH5iPzCq9tIcLeaDymmi57wlkVbrA&sig2=JSJ0r4VzHfAd-k5Yate5Qw )
[00:36] <d0nets> how do i remove the password
[00:36] <d0nets> im trying to test out android-vnc-viewer
[00:36] <d0nets> but it doesnt have password support yet
[00:36] <elementz_> how do i 'echo' to /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth ? doing it via 'sudo echo "disable" > bluetooth' gives me a permission denied...
[00:37] <Slart> Freek: ah..I think I'd put /home and / on the same partition.. due to the size constraints.. so 20 for /, 1xRAM for swap and the rest for win2k
[00:37] <djhash> would ubuntu's performace get squashed if I install 32bit on 64bit system?
[00:37] <BanjoX> not from my experience, djhash
[00:37] <Slart> matreya6: so.. you want computer 2 to use computer 1 for dns resolution?
[00:37] <matreya6> djhash, no, but you would be unable to use the 64-bit specific opcodes
[00:38] <zsquareplusc> d0nets: you try to share the desktop or a separate vnc server?
[00:38] <djhash> matreya6: and I guess if I have to ask what are those.. then it shouldn't matter right :-)
[00:39] <BanjoX> lol
[00:39] <mike909> anyone have an easy way to make evolution send me email alerts for alarms?
[00:39] <basti> what is the easiest/fastest way to move / to another partition? rsync seems to have problems with /proc or can these errors be ignored? do i have to use dd?
[00:39] <zsquareplusc> d0nets: instead of that howto.. you can also share your desktop from the system->prefs->.. there you can also set it to no password (but ask user instead)
[00:39] <Slart> basti: you shouldn't be copying /proc
[00:39] <matreya6> Slart, no I want the 2nd interface only on IP-level, no dns required there. Still Network Manager seems to freak out when I connect the 2nd interface, thereby disabling DNS resolution for my first interface in the prcess :-(
[00:39] <Slart> basti: it's generated at boot, iirc..
[00:39] <basti> Slart, i just did sudo rsync -va / /media/neuesroot/
[00:39] <djhash> basti: use dd
[00:40] <basti> ok
[00:40] <zsquareplusc> matreya6: it runs a zeroconfig network if you use  a cross cable. you'll get a 169... IP, right?
[00:40] <djhash> basti: ofcourse make sure the destination is atleast as large as the source
[00:40] <Slart> matreya6: nggh.. it's to late at night (or early in the morning) for those kinds of problems =)
[00:40] <basti> sure...
[00:41] <Gaming4JC> ok I just tried connecting using pppconfig, but that didn't work. Can I DIAL-UP using PPP with my working SERIAL MODEM... in the NETWORK MANAGER. Please let me know. :)
[00:41] <Gaming4JC> It's changed since 8.04...
[00:41] <matreya6> zsquareplusc, No I get the IP-adresses I have assigned manually via ifconfig, namely <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS>, with <IP_ADDRESS> as netmask for both NIC's in both computers
[00:42] <Slart> basti: if I were you I'd start thinking of a way to stop it from copying the /proc tree.. I don't know how to do it though.. perhaps there is a switch to make rsync ignore certain paths or something
[00:42] <basti> dd takes a long time, doesnt it? im thinking about reinstalling
[00:42] <Falstius> *sigh* just upgraded to Intrepid and gdm isn't coming up.  What is Rgbpath and why is it in my xorg.conf file (I didn't put it there)?
[00:42] <calwig> Jordan_U: im here
[00:42] <calwig> Jordan_U: read your comment, im on 8.04
[00:42] <matreya6> zsquareplusc, basically I want this 2nd (Gigabit) connection to transfer my files from my old box to my spanking new one, since my external HDD drive kicked the can.
[00:42] <jabagawee> hey guys, the screen resolution administration applet ain't giving me the full 1920x1080 resolution i know my tv can do, instead giving me the danged 1280x1024 res it's used to. any way to fix it without delving into xorg.conf?
[00:43] <Gaming4JC> matreya6: Any idea on how to Dial-Up through the Network Manager? My Modem has always been supported before, even on ye'ol Red Hat!
[00:43] <Gaming4JC> :)
[00:43] <matreya6> zsquareplusc, I don't have a Gigabit switch and I'd like some when transfering all thos files
[00:43] <storrgie> erUSLA gone?
[00:43] <rdz> hi all. is it true that -rt kernels don't support smp?
[00:43] <storrgie> :(
[00:44] <Gaming4JC> ...
[00:44] <zsquareplusc> mantequilla: if its the only connection, just leaving everything on automatic should get you a zerconf network. but you mention 2 network interfaces in the pc
[00:44] <storrgie> anyone really familiar with network manager?
[00:44] <matreya6> Gaming4JC, as you might have seen, I'm not to keen on Network Manager, I always configure interfaces via configuration files if possible.
[00:45] <matreya6> Gaming4JC, in short: 'No I don't know how to do that"
[00:45] <yoyo> hey guy as far as fstab...how do i make it so I dont have to be root to edit the files in the drives I mount in media....like right now when i try to cut and paste something from one drive to another i have to sudo nautilus it
[00:45] <Gaming4JC> ok...
[00:46] <matthew> hi
[00:46] <zsquareplusc> i dont seem to have the network manager in the settings...
[00:46] <tom__> hi
[00:46] <matthew> how you all
[00:46] <tom__> does anyone have a nds r4
[00:47] <Gaming4JC> I'll keep messing around with Gnome-ppp. I'm pretty saddened by the lack of Dial-Up support in Interpred. Hardy was better.
[00:47] <matthew> yes
[00:47] <lazukars> Where would you find drivers for the Intel® P45 + ICH10R Chipset?
[00:47] <tom__> where do u download roms
[00:47] <tom__> ?
[00:47] <droids-> how do i change my default nickname for irssi?
[00:47] <lazukars> droids- /nick whatever
[00:48] <Falstius> yoyo: if the drive is formatted ext3, you need to use chmod.
[00:48] <matreya6> zsquareplusc, That's promising, I run the Firestarter firewall, could that have to do something with what I'm experiencing right now?
[00:48] <tom__> how can i remove ubuntu?
[00:48] <Gaming4JC> brb again >_<
[00:48] <matthew> under google
[00:48] <TVVCR6> ARgh
[00:48] <TVVCR6> I'm a bit rusty, I swear I've done it before
[00:48] <matthew> format
[00:48] <Falstius> (or any other fs that supports linux permissions)
[00:48] <Jordan_U> calwig: Can you try the backported libdvdnav from the ppa mentioned in the bug report?
[00:48] <TVVCR6> How do I restart xserver?
[00:48] <matreya6> tom_, What part of ubuntu do you want to remove, the bootloader?
[00:48] <TVVCR6> Well, the graphics thingy
[00:48] <TVVCR6> Wasn't it init 1?
[00:48] <yoyo> Falstius: theres nothing i can set in the fstab to give root privledges?  Also how do i use chmod?
[00:48] <lazukars> Motherboard drivers for Linux (Ubuntu).  Where do you find them?
[00:48] <TVVCR6> !xserver
[00:49] <TVVCR6> !sorg
[00:49] <TVVCR6> !xorg
[00:49] <Falstius> TVVCR6: ctrl-alt-backspace
[00:49] <zsquareplusc> matreya6: i don't think that writes resolv.conf, or does it?
[00:49] <TVVCR6> Sorry, meant xorg
[00:49] <matreya6> TVVCR6, try Ctrl + [Backspace]
[00:49] <TVVCR6> Thanks
[00:49] <matthew> xsorg is part of linux
[00:49] <TVVCR6> yep
[00:49] <droids-> lazukars: i mean, it won't let me connect because i have an 'erroneous nickname', and since i'm not connected, it won't let me /nick to change it.
[00:50] <Falstius> yoyo: in fstab you can set who can mount and umount a partition, but to actually allow writing and reading you generally need to change the permissions (unless this is a NTFS drive).
[00:50] <matreya6> zsquareplusc, I'm just pulling at straws I guess :-/
[00:50] <tom__> how can i remonve ubuntu?
[00:50] <matthew> has anyone got an old computer i can do up
[00:50] <Falstius> yoyo: for chmod, it would be something like chmod a+rwX /media/disk   but you should check the man page.
[00:50] <tom__> how can i install windows and take away ubuntu\
[00:50] <rhsanborn> Does the new network manager with gnome support ndiswrapper?
[00:50] <matthew> yep
[00:50] <Jordan_U> tom__: Just install windows over Ubuntu
[00:50] <tom__> help
[00:50] <tom__> how?
[00:50] <Falstius> tom__: do you know how to install windows?
[00:50] <the99zChris> hey i switched to xfce to lower system demand and my volume buttons no longer work (laptop), play stop for. rev. still work though - and opening gome volume control doesn't change anything
[00:50] <ohubuntu> this is weird. or maybe not, hoping for an explanation...  i can't type in 'transparent' anywhere in firefox without it closing, i can't save a file called 'transparent' without the associated ap closing... is it normal?
[00:50] <tom__> no
[00:51] <thiebaude> tom_:install windows
[00:51] <tom__> how
[00:51] <Falstius> tom__: then you're in the wrong place.
[00:51] <matthew> yes you can install windows on a top of it
[00:51] <tom__> wait
[00:51] <tom__> i klnow how
[00:51] <Jordan_U> tom__: Ask in ##windows for help installing windows
[00:51] <tom__> but
[00:51] <tom__> it wont work
[00:51] <matthew> i love windows 98
[00:51] <matthew> and xp home
[00:51] <zsquareplusc> matthew: because of teh viri? ;-)
[00:52] <matreya6> tom_: thw Windows installer gives you ample opportunity to remove the linux partititions so you can reclaim the space. This has to be done in the screen where setup asks you which disk to use as system disk.
[00:52] <tom__> ok
[00:52] <droids-> lazukars: never mind.  just realized that it was on the man page.
[00:52] <droids-> :B
[00:52] <tom__> yea baby
[00:52] <gilster> do you guys know the XKCD 'man' cartoon?
[00:53] <matthew> can ubuntu have 2 screens ?
[00:53] <matreya6> zsquareplusc, matthew, I run both Linux (day to day basis) and sometimes WinXP Prof. (for some games that won't work under Wine yet)
[00:53] <xiangfu> matthew: yes
[00:53] <cak054_> yes two or more as many as you want check on youtube
[00:53] <tom__> suck my dick sir
[00:53] <lazukars> Motherboard Drivers for Linux(Ubuntu).  Where do you find them?
[00:53] <zsquareplusc> matthew: yes. as 2 separate x servers or with xinerama
[00:53] <matthew> i know thats sucks ah
[00:53] <matreya6> !language | tom_
[00:54] <ohubuntu> transparent
[00:54] <xiangfu> matthew: if you have a NVDIA card , you can make two screen both 3d desktop
[00:54] <matthew> i have a dual boot system
[00:54] <matthew> and i have Windows Xp Pro made in 2002
[00:54] <Falstius> xiangfu: matthew: you don't need an nvidia card to get dual monitors.
[00:55] <xiangfu> Falstius: i mean dual 3d desktop.
[00:55] <rhsanborn> In 8.10 is network manager supposed to start in the 'system tray' (sorry, only know the windows term)
[00:55] <Falstius> xiangu: you don't need an nvidia card for dual 3d desktop.
[00:56] <matthew> i thought you need a duel video card
[00:56] <matreya6> gilster, no I have never heard of that cartoon, is it any good, if yes: where can I find it/
[00:56] <Falstius> matthew: or two video cards.
[00:56] <rhsanborn> matreya6, very good. www.xkcd.com
[00:56] <dori> has anyone had issues with the cursor image going crazy (comes up as a square of random junk)? it's happened to me in KDE and in XFCE, running 8.10
[00:56] <xiangfu> Falstius: my video card is ATI, i can't set up 2 3d-desktop.
[00:56] <gilster> matreya6: do you know xkcd?
[00:57] <gilster> there is great RTFM cartoon on it....i recomment it to all you people how love and hate the 'man'
[00:57] <gilster> who^
[00:57] <xiangfu> Falstius: two video cards. yes. :-)
[00:57] <matthew> i have a AMD atlion Dual Core 2.9 Ghz System cool ah and about 512 of ram
[00:57] <Falstius> xiangfu: some ati cards have a virtual desktop limit of 2048x2048.  So you might have to put one monitor logically above the other.
[00:58] <xiangfu> Falstius: i will google that. thanks.
[00:58] <matreya6> rhsanborn, Thanks for the link, it's a nice thoughtful cartoon
[00:58] <matthew> i am going to make a new computer up next year useing ubuntu
[00:59] <Krzysztof> I need huge help.
[00:59] <binarymutant> xkcd is the best comic on the net btw!!
[00:59] <matthew> dual screen as well
[00:59] <bazaab> Question - Can you directly upgrade the 32bit version of Ubuntu to the 64bit version?
[00:59] <matthew> yes
[00:59] <Falstius> xiangfu: there is actually a pretty good writeup in the thinkwiki wiki.
[00:59] <matreya6> Krysztof: Just ask your question
[00:59] <Krzysztof> I need to reinstall Ubuntu on my laptop (which as a G-book). So I put the Ubuntu ISO on a CD-R disk.
[00:59] <matthew> as long you have a 64bit computer
[00:59] <storrgie> I need some help from someone who understands networkmanager
[01:00] <Krzysztof> And when I put it on my laptop...It goes to the screen. Language.
[01:00] <bazaab> matthew: I do. I installed the 32b version because of Adobe Flash
[01:00] <Jordan_U> !ask | storrgie
[01:00] <Krzysztof> I choose English and then it loads, and loads, and loads.
[01:00] <calwig> Jordan_U: sure i can, how do i do that. go thru synaptic
[01:00] <rhsanborn> bazaab, beta at best, but I think adobe release the 64 bit linux version today
[01:00] <Krzysztof> And then it comes to this weird background and then the mouse pointer goes crazy and it freezes.
[01:00] <matthew> how much ram do you have ?
[01:01] <Krzysztof> Me?
[01:01] <matthew> yep
[01:01] <matreya6> Krzysztof, ah sounds like you have an nVidia card, right?
[01:01] <storrgie> Jordan_U: you dont understand, i have been at this networking issue for 9 nights, its due to network manager, I just need someone who understands how it works
[01:01] <Krzysztof> Not a clue, I'd have to look up the specifications on the internet.
[01:01] <Falstius> rhsanborn: alpha, and that is by adobe standards.
[01:01] <Krzysztof> I do, Materya.
[01:01] <Krzysztof> Wai
[01:01] <nintendork32> firefox isnt working any help?
[01:01] <Krzysztof> Wait*
[01:01] <Krzysztof> let me check @ Mater
[01:01] <matreya6> Krzysztof, Try running it in Safe Graphics mode
[01:01] <rhsanborn> Falstius, corrected
[01:01] <BanjoX> I need to install 8.10 on my laptop, I can barely boot from cd (drive on last leg)..I am in ubuntu with live cd now, as soon as the installer starts reading files from cd it errors (i/o, cd drive failure)..so, can I run ubiquity with an option to install from iso?
[01:01] <SilentDis> hello.  Odd one here.  I have a DVD with both UDF and ISO sets (the new Wrath of the Litch King Expansion for World of Warcraft).  Ubuntu auto mounted it as UDF (for mac).  what filesystem am I looking to mount this on?
[01:02] <Krzysztof> I believe I do @ Mater.
[01:02] <nintendork32> it opens and has a tab on the toolbar saying "Strating firefox" but then it closes
[01:02] <Jordan_U> storrgie: No harm in asking your question, pastebin it if you don't want to keep typing an explanation over and over
[01:02] <calwig> Jordan_U: will have to read this issue a bi more proabably later, i must get going now, but it seems like it could work somehow :) will you be here perhaps another time, tomorrow? i could use the help from a good peasant :)
[01:02] <Krzysztof> I have the EvereX Notebook.
[01:02] <matthew> my sond card is packing a sad help me please anyone ?
[01:02] <blinkn1> SilentDis:how is northrend
[01:02] <matthew> i mean sound card
[01:02] <Spaff> right, anyone? I thought my ubuntu wouldn't load up because my HDD's kept swapping position however my grub menu.lst definitely has the correct UUID of the root partition it should be using therefore the root (hd2,4) shouldn't matter, right? Anyone have any ideas?
[01:02] <SilentDis> blinkn1: no idea, can't get the DVD mounted right to perform the install lol
[01:02] <matreya6> Krzysztof, Do you see alternating dirty green lines?
[01:02] <Jordan_U> calwig: I will probably be here tomorrow
[01:03] <self> http://tinyurl.com/249rjg
[01:03] <Krzysztof> Matreya6: When I insert the disk, choose, a language and let it run? Or just press the on button/
[01:03] <matreya6> Krzysztof, try F4 first to change it to safe mode first.
[01:03] <SilentDis> blinkn1: it's mounting the Mac side of the DVD, i need it to mount the 'windows' side, or, more specifically, whatever the name for 'iso' on a DVD is :)
[01:04] <matthew> do you people live in new zealand
[01:04] <calwig> Jordan_U: will do, thanks then, should i read something before i install it from the backported reps?
[01:04] <Krzysztof> Matreya: When I just press the on button?
[01:04] <self> http://tinyurl.com/249rjg Check this, it might help.
[01:04] <mneptok> SilentDis: how do you plan to run the Mac installer if you *do* mount it?
[01:04] <matreya6> Krzysztof, no, are you running the Live CD?
[01:04] <SilentDis> mneptok: that's the problem.  I need to mount the windows side.  ubuntu is automounting the mac side
[01:05] <Jordan_U> calwig: No, just don't update any other packages while you have that repository enabled, and if it breaks something then remove the repo and re-install the standard package
[01:05] <mneptok> SilentDis: side? or session?

[01:05] <marcelo> hello
[01:05] <matthew> hi
[01:05] <Krzysztof> Matreya: I WAS running a disk that I burned and mounted an ISO on. But if I don't have that in the disktray when I turn on my computer it goes to a MemTest 0.86 or something that effect.
[01:05] <marcelo> does anyone know the difference between the envy NVidia driver and the default restricted that Ubuntu installs?
[01:05] <Krzysztof> 1.70
[01:06] <Jordan_U> marcelo: Envy will always install the latest driver available
[01:06] <SilentDis> mneptok: blizzard puts out a 'universal' disk that will mount under windows and mac, but with different file systems and files for each, to allow both mac and windows users to use the same disk.  ubuntu has taken it upon itself to mount the mac version, and i can't remember how to mount a dvd like this on the windows side instead.
[01:06] <marcelo> Jordan_U, hmm, thanks
[01:06] <calwig> Jordan_U: ok ill have a look, although i dont have a movie to try anymore so i will have to see perhaps buy one
[01:06] <calwig> Jordan_U: im renting them now,
[01:06] <Raffle> hi, when i try burning the ubuntu iso on my cd it doesnt burn
[01:06] <mneptok> SilentDis: side? or session?
[01:06] <apeiron> SilentDis, This may be too easy, but have you tried iso9660?
[01:06] <matthew> you can go to applications and add or remove programes and download it

[01:07] <SilentDis> apeiron: 1 moment, yes i have, let me grab the error again
[01:07] <wos> !tv
[01:07] <mneptok> SilentDis: "side" implies you flip the disc over and use anothe side. "session" is another filesystem burned onto the same side of the physical media.
[01:07] <wos> !mythtv
[01:07] <soho> is Jaunty Jackalope ready for testing?
[01:07] <SilentDis> mneptok: I mistyped when i said side, my apologies.
[01:07] <apeiron> bob123, Toss it to Perl or Python or such.
[01:07] <Raffle> hi, when i try burning the ubuntu iso on my cd it doesnt burn
[01:07] <jrib> !jaunty | soho
[01:08] <bob123> ah no simple way to do it with a command line ?
[01:08] <soho> damn
[01:08] <matreya6> Krzysztof, ok when the LiveCD loads, you get a screen that allows you to run the LiveCD session, or to install Ubuntu. When you press F4 there, you can select a safe graphics mode. After that you can just run the LiveCD.
[01:08] <Jordan_U> storrgie: What is your question about network-manager? I am by no means an expert but I do know a bit about it
[01:08] <soho> i thought a alpha for it was out?
[01:08] <matthew> did you know you can get a 3Tearbyte hard drive now pbtech.co.nz
[01:08] <apeiron> bob123, Not sure in the generic sense.

[01:10] <Blaze1454> Raffle: What program are you using to burn ubunto to the disk?
[01:10] <EJ> is this the correct command to add a user to the www group : sudo useradd -G www <user>
[01:10] <apeiron> I prefer select(), myself.
[01:10] <jrib> soho: this is a support channel.  If you are looking to discuss other people's linux usage, use #ubuntu-offtopic instead of #ubuntu

[01:11] <Russak> Hello. I'm currently on Intrepid Ibex and was wondering if anyone knew about an issue with Intel integrated graphics cards and resuming from Hibernation or Suspend. I can't resume from either, I get to a black screen(doesn't appear to be backlit) and can't do a thing except hold down the power button. Ctrl+Alt+Backspace does nothing.
[01:11] <jrib> EJ: well maybe, but I don't use useradd.  Just do: adduser USER www
[01:11] <Krzysztof> Matreya: When I insert the disk it goes to a screen for Ubuntu, where it say "Try Ubuntu without chanes", "Install", "Check CD for Defects", "Test memory.", or "Boot from first hard disk." Which do I select?
[01:11] <soho> ok
[01:11] <EJ> jrib: ok thanks
[01:11] <droids-> my sound cuts out whenever i try to use the multiplayer mode.
[01:11] <Jordan_U> Raffle: What happens when you try to burn it exactly, is there an error message?
[01:11] <droids-> the sound dies for my whole system, that is.
[01:12] <droids-> and i have to reboot for it to work.
[01:12] <Raffle> nope
[01:12] <mneptok> Raffle: did you md5sum the .iso file you downloaded?
[01:12] <Raffle> it says it is burned
[01:12] <Krzysztof> Matreya: I've tried "Check CD for Defects" No defects.
[01:12] <glick> anyone try the latest ubuntu in microsoft virtual PC?
[01:12] <Raffle> i didnt understand the md5sum for windows
[01:12] <glick> i cant get it to boot

[01:13] <Falstius> Russak: I have a similar problem with my laptop running fedora.  Setting the 'virtual' line in my xorg.conf file (there for dual monitors) to a legal value helped but it still doesn't always resume correctly.
[01:13] <matreya6> Krzysztof, first of all, press F4. a popup menu should open, allowing you to select the safe graphics mode, aftter you have selcted that, just go to the row that starts with Try...
[01:13] <matreya6> Krzysztof, sorry about my spelling errors, it's a bit late in the Netherlands now.
[01:13] <ekontsevoy> Has anyone heard of a fonts fix for Intrepid? After upgrading to 8.10 I can't get smooth fonts back: seems like BCI has been disabled again in FreeType?
[01:13] <Guest89697> nvdio 3D grapics has buggey driver it has been suggested that if you use nvidia for #D dont upgrade to 810

[01:14] <jrib> tsedreyt: best to just ask the channel your question.  If someone knows the answer, they will try to answer you
[01:14] <SilentDis> OK, i got it.  the full command to get to the files is sudo mount -t udf -o ro,unhide,uid=1000 /dev/cd_drive /media/whatever :)
[01:14] <candive> Hi everyone, what is the command in terminal to update firefox?
[01:14] <Krzysztof> :o Matreya: Ik ben met het leren van Nederlands Rosetta Stone. :D
[01:14] <soho> thanks jrib
[01:14] <Russak> Falstius: what would be a legal value?
[01:14] <jrib> candive: sudo apt-get install firefox
[01:14] <apeiron> SilentDis, That's for the Windows side?
[01:15] <candive> jrib, Thank you
[01:15] <Russak> and also, I'm not running dual monitors. And it also worked fine in 8.04 as well.
[01:15] <Falstius> Russak: for an intel chipset, smaller than 2048 in each direction (2048x2048 total)
[01:15] <Raffle> can anyone tell me how to md5sum i dont get it
[01:15] <shadowwulf> what is the command line to get the newest nvidia drivers
[01:15] <tsedreyt> I am trying to run usb persistent, whenever I boot up I don't get any picture, I am pretty sure it has to do with Xorg (because I couldn't run puppy linux in xorg, I had to use xevesa), what can I do to fix it?
[01:15] <SilentDis> apeiron: yeah, apparently they throw it into hidden.  windows ignores it and just reads it anyway, whereas mac (and linux) respect the flag lol
[01:15] <candive> Chow
[01:15] <Falstius> Russak: I was just offering it as a possibility.  I only run ubuntu on my desktops.
[01:15] <christophe> raffle: just type md5sum <name file> and you cat the md5sum
[01:15] <apeiron> SilentDis, heh
[01:16] <Russak> ahh....okay. thanks.

[01:21] <shadowwulf> jrib i come to a logon window that is white ... no text ... then when i login .. the desktop becomes black and a cursor appears ... and thats it
[01:21] <jrib> shadowwulf: did it ever work?
[01:21] <shadowwulf> 8.04 it did
[01:21] <Thetetsu> what time is it?
[01:21] <Jordan_U> storrgie: Network manager 0.7 should support multiple devices being active at once, Is the gigabit connection static or is one host providing DHCP ?
[01:21] <SilentDis> apeiron: he plays wow, and does the basic e-mail, websurfing work.  little bit of photoshop.  photoshop is glorious under wine.
[01:21] <shadowwulf> jrib, 8.04 it did
[01:21] <jrib> shadowwulf: pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:21] <apeiron> SilentDis, Or he could just use GIMP... <_<
[01:21] <mn> How can I figure out what type of RAM I have?

[01:22] <mneptok> apeiron: they will not tell you the kind of memory

[01:28] <jabagawee> hey, anyone wanna help me with xorg.conf? i want it to show my desktop in full 1080p glory
[01:28] <storrgie> Jordan_U: dont know how, I posted that post in ubuntu forums and I emailed the network manager mailing list

[01:29] <cak054_> hello world
[01:29] <vahnx> hi
[01:29] <toastedmilk> I just downloaded libflashplayer.so alpha of flash 10 for 64bit.  what folder should I throw this in so it will work?
[01:29] <vahnx> i think in the mozilla directory for libflashplayer.so
[01:29] <vahnx> that is if your using a mozilla browser
[01:30] <jrib> toastedmilk: ~/.mozilla/plugins/   you probably want to remove your old one that you might have with nspluginwrapper
[01:30] <azfira> yetty
[01:30] <toastedmilk> jrib, I have.
[01:30] <toastedmilk> jrib, ty tho!
[01:30] <toastedmilk> vanhx, thank you too!
[01:30] <storrgie> Jordan_U: what should I even call this bug?
[01:30] <Jordan_U> storrgie: Like someone suggested in the forum one work around might to be to set up the main box's ethernet connection as "shared"
[01:30] <storrgie> Jordan_U: they each need to have internet
[01:31] <vahnx> prison break in 30 mins =D
[01:31] <storrgie> Jordan_U: they run independently quite a bit of the time
[01:31] <alex_> Hello. I'm currently on Intrepid Ibex and was wondering if anyone knew about an issue with Intel integrated graphics cards and resuming from Hibernation or Suspend. I can't resume from either, I get to a black screen(no backlight) and can't do a thing except hold down the power button. Ctrl+Alt+Backspace does nothing.

[01:32] <jordanv> is there a readyboost type of thing for ubuntu?
[01:32] <KillerOrca> anyone have experience moving an existing install to a larger harddrive?
[01:32] <mikg> hi all
[01:32] <vahnx> if you place your swap on flash drive possibly
[01:32] <Jordan_U> jordanv: Put a swap file on a thumb drive
[01:32] <vahnx> not a good idea apparently due to the constant writing
[01:32] <mikg> anyone have any experience w/ CONVIRT
[01:32] <Jordan_U> jordanv: I don't recommend it though because it will wear it out
[01:33] <vahnx> flash based drives tend to die about 10,000 writes per sector
[01:33] <jordanv> well, its a memory stick
[01:33] <mikg> anyone have any experience w/ CONVIRT?
[01:33] <jordanv> not a thumb drive
[01:33] <Jordan_U> jordanv: "ready boost" is mostly a gimick
[01:33] <vahnx> memory stick = thumb drive no?
[01:33] <Jordan_U> jordanv: It's NAND flash either way
[01:33] <strtok> hello - has anyone had an issue with vnc (via vncserver) to ubuntu, where the 'd' key causes the focused window to minimize/maximize?
[01:34] <lianimator> how do I configure my printer in intrepid?
[01:34] <vahnx> thats why ssd's arent the best. they tend to die out fairly quick
[01:34] <Jordan_U> storrgie: You might ask in #ubuntu-bugs for advice on how to word the bug report
[01:34] <jordanv> oh and Jordan_U nice name ;)

[01:38] <vahnx> ok i have system beep disabled and it still does it. i have friends that can attest to this on their machines too
[01:38] <vahnx> anyone know of a fix?
[01:38] <donpachi> vahnx: cut the speaker wire
[01:38] <vahnx> good idea
[01:38] <Dr_willis> vahnx,  try 'xset b 0 0 0 '
[01:38] <donpachi> that's what i did
[01:38] <gilster> has anyone been able to integrate UDF format for DVD-RAM into one of the GUI apps like k3b or braseror etc?
[01:39] <shadowwulf_> jrib, http://paste.ubuntu.com/73607/
[01:39]  * gguuest said its a minihowto install powerpc-ubuntu-ps3 there?
[01:39] <musikgoat> vahnx: what is the problem?
[01:39] <vahnx> xset b 0 0 0 solved it
[01:39] <vahnx> will it perma solve it?
[01:40] <vahnx> musikgoat: i disabled system beep but it kept beeping when i'd do stuff like backspace in empty terminal
[01:40] <gilster> anyone here got experience with DVD-RAM discs? I want to integrate them into K3B. I know how to format them on the CLI but want another option?
[01:41] <merther> Is anyone familiar with xorg-edit?
[01:41] <Dr_willis> cant say that ive ever owned a dvd-ram disk. :)
[01:42]  * gguuest said its a minihowto install powerpc-ubuntu-ps3 there?
[01:42] <lbo_ken> hi i need help to coffigure my  user on vsftpd so he only have access to one folder not all the  pc
[01:42]  * gguuest said its a minihowto install powerpc-ubuntu-ps3 there?
[01:42]  * gguuest said its a minihowto install powerpc-ubuntu-ps3 there?

[01:42] <gilster> it blows
[01:42] <ezzieyguywuf> how do you untar into a seperate directory?
[01:43] <shadowwulf_> jrib,  did you get them ?
[01:43] <jrib> shadowwulf_: see what happens if you comment usefbdev
[01:43] <shadowwulf_> jrib,  in which ?
[01:43] <Myrtti> !give
[01:43] <Dr_willis> ezzieyguywuf,  one way would be to cd into the direvtory the tar xf /path/to/tararcjve
[01:43] <ohubuntu_> is it possible to build a certificate server with a linux OS?
[01:44] <jrib> shadowwulf_: xorg.conf
[01:44] <toastedmilk> I'm having a problem with Nautilis.  I can't drag-and-drop special access files because it says 'Permission Denied', but doesn't give me a password box.

[01:44] <merther> What does screen depth refer to?
[01:44] <alex_> Hello. I'm currently on Intrepid Ibex and was wondering if anyone knew about an issue with Intel integrated graphics cards and resuming from Hibernation or Suspend. I can't resume from either, I get to a black screen(no backlight) and can't do a thing except hold down the power button.  Fingers crossed that's a work in progress.  Thanks though!
[01:45] <amikrop> rdw200169_, Dr_willis: OK, thanks :-)
[01:45] <Eressolar> ezzieyguywuf: Yeah, it tells tar to "change" to that directory. Works for creating tarballs too.
[01:45] <ezzieyguywuf> eressolar: thanks
[01:45] <Eressolar> np
[01:45] <I-am-weasel> toastedmilk, hope so
[01:45] <lianimator> I have the same problem as http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6102469 but I can't follow the solution
[01:46] <rdw200169_> rick_astley: well, if i remember correctly, vim only accepts monospace fonts
[01:46] <gilster> Dr_willis: i have 5 of them. 5 maxell DVD-RAMS very slow but extremely useful for drag and drop to dvd
[01:46] <toastedmilk> I-am-weasel, how do I make a nautilis window a root one?
[01:46] <toastedmilk> I-am-weasel, that's what I can't seem to figure out.
[01:46] <merther> And I'm assuming that I've I've got only one screen I would then enter 1 for screen number in xorg-edit?
[01:46] <pw-toxic> hi, i really need to deactivate the "alt + mouse2" hotkey for openeing the window menu
[01:46] <merther> *if
[01:46] <pw-toxic> how can i do this?
[01:47] <lianimator> pw-toxic: either in compiz or gconf
[01:47] <rhsanborn> hmm...alright, I've reinstalled network-manager-gnome and network-manager but still nm-applet won't start
[01:47] <I-am-weasel> You can try right click the folder you want to open as root, see if it says "open as root". If NOT,  hit ALT+F2 on your keyboard, and enter:     gksudo nautilus --no-desktop                   you'll have to do this twice to open 2 windows
[01:47] <lianimator> pw-toxic: do you use compiz?
[01:47] <ezzieyguywuf> Eressolar: so the command would look as follows for a .bz2? tar xvjf -C [tar file] [new location[
[01:47] <pw-toxic> lianimator: compiz is big ;)
[01:47] <Dr_willis> gilster,  as far as i know Linux does not have any support for using a dvd disk as a big  "floppy drive" Like you often see done in Windows...
[01:47] <oly562> yawns
[01:47] <pw-toxic> lianimator: yes i got the compiz manager.. but there are very many options
[01:47] <shadowwulf> jrib,  same result ... blank screen
[01:47] <lianimator> pw-toxic: open ccsm
[01:47] <Dr_willis> gilster,  at least if it does.. its not commonly used.. :)
[01:47] <jrib> shadowwulf: what did you do to test?
[01:47] <gilster> Dr_willis: I have been able to do this
[01:48] <shadowwulf> booted and logged on
[01:48] <Dr_willis> gilster,  nifty.  You are the first person ive seen whos done it then.
[01:48] <shadowwulf> jrib, booted and logged on
[01:48] <gilster> Dr_willis: I can format the disc from cli inUDF format
[01:48] <gilster> then it does drag and drop quite efficientyl
[01:48] <jrib> shadowwulf: it only happens after you login?  GDM works fine?
[01:48] <lianimator> pw-toxic: use the advanced search
[01:48] <pw-toxic> lianimator: i have found the options
[01:48] <shadowwulf> GDM being the logon screen ?
[01:48] <pw-toxic> lianimator: big thx
[01:48] <zoot_> hello all
[01:48] <jrib> shadowwulf: yes
[01:49] <zoot_> anyone running ubuntu on the eee?
[01:49] <shadowwulf> jrib, no the logon screen is skewed ...
[01:49] <jrib> shadowwulf: skewed?
[01:49] <Eressolar> ezzieyguywuf: tar -xjvf file.tar.bz2 -C /path/to/extract/to
[01:49] <toastedmilk> I-am-weasel, 'gksudo nautilis --no-desktop' As is?
[01:49] <ezzieyguywuf> Eressolar: thanks
[01:49] <shadowwulf> jrib, greyish white and white for the logon name and password
[01:49] <pw-toxic> lianimator: damn now if i only click the left mous button, the context menu does open ;)
[01:49] <jrib> shadowwulf: what version of ubuntu is this?
[01:49] <shadowwulf> jrib, 8.10
[01:49] <zsquareplusc> zoot_: kinda
[01:49] <pw-toxic> lianimator: well i think i use a very strange hotkey for this sub menu so i wont open it ;)  little workaround but it will work
[01:49] <lbo_ken> hi i need help to configure my  user on vsftpd so he only have access to one folder not all the  pc i know vsftpd use the pc user  acount to have an access to ftp but i dont find any where wehre i can grand or denied any things on a  folder or anythings  can some one help me?
[01:49] <jrib> shadowwulf: you could try installing the nvidia drivers
[01:50] <lianimator> pw-toxic: use None.
[01:50] <shadowwulf> jrib, how do i do that ?
[01:50] <I-am-weasel> toastedmilk,  Just like that :)
[01:50] <arktvrvs> any idea what is wrong with my update manager it is complaining about base-files there are 19 important updates and non of them will install
[01:50] <pw-toxic> lianimator: i had none, but it didnt work
[01:50] <lianimator> pw-toxic: it reverted?
[01:50] <jrib> shadowwulf: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-177
[01:51] <I-am-weasel> toastedmilk,  apologies, for some reason you MUST do it from Terminal O_O Or it doesn't show up
[01:51] <pw-toxic> lianimator: i cant open any open in the compiz manager ;(
[01:51] <pw-toxic> left mouse click doesnt help.. wait
[01:51] <onats> help... need some tips, fast... i will be installing ubuntu on 10 identical machines... what's the fastest way i can do it?
[01:51] <zoot_> zsquare: any experience getting bluetooth and the webcam working on a eee 901?
[01:51] <onats> should i just install everything one by one?
[01:51] <shadowwulf> jrib, says i have the newest version
[01:51] <KillerOrca> anyone have experience moving an existing install to a larger harddrive?
[01:51] <almigi> 'ello
[01:51] <jordanv> arktvrvs: sudo apt-get update try again
[01:52] <I-am-weasel> toastedmilk,  and gksudo is being picky... so just run        gksudo nautilus      (it doesnt like --no-desktop for some reason
[01:52] <jrib> shadowwulf: enable it in your xorg.conf then
[01:52] <shadowwulf> jrib,  could be that it is using NV instead of nvidia ?
[01:52] <almigi> d
[01:52] <jrib> shadowwulf: not "could", it is
[01:52] <shadowwulf> jrib,  ok how
[01:52] <toastedmilk> I-am-weasel, haha yeah it wasn't working
[01:52] <arktvrvs> jordanv, no luck, same thing.
[01:53] <zsquareplusc> zoot_: do you have a question?
[01:53] <pw-toxic> lianimator: oh damn it looks like my alt key is locked now...  i cant left click anymore becuase he thinks im doing a alt + left mous
[01:53] <pw-toxic> lianimator: i'll try somethign.. brb
[01:53] <toastedmilk> I-am-weasel, mv libflashplayer.so /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins
[01:53] <toastedmilk> mv: cannot move `libflashplayer.so' to `/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so': Permission denied
[01:53] <toastedmilk>  :'(
[01:53] <rick_astley> i wonder why does gvim ignore my font rendering settings (subpixel antialiasing, hinting, etc) and is there a way to fix this?
[01:53] <shadowwulf> jrib,  what do i type to replace the NV with nvidia
[01:53] <jrib> shadowwulf: pastebin your current one and I'll edit it for you
[01:54] <toastedmilk> I-am-weasel, oh, sudo
[01:54] <shadowwulf> jrib, xorg.conf ?
[01:54] <zoot_> Yes, I'm helping a guy with an eee 901 get his bluetooth and webcam working
[01:54] <jrib> toastedmilk: why are you doing that?  Use the directory I told you.  No need for sudo
[01:54] <I-am-weasel> toastedmilk,  grrr i see you got sound issues with firefox :P
[01:54] <toastedmilk> jrib, what?
[01:54] <jrib> shadowwulf: yes
[01:54] <zoot_> any way to check if hardware is configured correctly?
[01:54] <lianimator> How can I configure my printer?
[01:54] <IndyGunFreak> zoot_: i think the webcams have been a problem on those.. have you tried eee-ubuntu?
[01:54] <jrib> toastedmilk: use ~/.mozilla/plugins/ for your libflashplayer.so.  No need for sudo there
[01:54] <zoot_> running ubuntu-eee, yes
[01:55] <remote> hi
[01:55]  * Spaff cries at his UNWORKING ubuntu and departs in a wave of self-pity
[01:55] <zoot_> I installed it for him at a LUG meeting
[01:55] <IndyGunFreak> zoot_: well, is the webcam on in the bios?
[01:55] <remote> i want to make a dvd out of an avi file, is there an easy way to do that?
[01:55] <zoot_> he's taking it to Africa in less than a week
[01:55] <digdug> I'm using k9copy to encode a video, but it doesn't seem to be writing it
[01:55] <zoot_> working for UNICEF
[01:55] <Dr_willis> remote,  DeVeDe can do that
[01:55] <rick_astley> i have to poop a little
[01:55] <LF|Irssi> ewww
[01:55] <remote> thanks
[01:56] <freetown> zoot_, is there a repo for ubuntu-eee?
[01:56] <digdug> is DeVeDe any better than k9copy? will it do mpeg4 for an ipod?
[01:56] <zoot_> Indy: I think it is, but that was my first suggestion for him.  Do you know what it would be called in the eee BIOS or what tab it would be under?
[01:56] <zoot_> he's a little skittish about tinkering with his BIOS
[01:56] <damijit> I want to get rid of my windows partition, and make everything ubuntu. I have just one fear: Will ubuntu music players be able to 1. Play DRM-locked music (such as music bought from iTunes store) and 2. Sync with my iPod?
[01:56] <toastedmilk> jrib, thanks for the tip!
[01:56] <krishna> how do i register my nickname
[01:57] <serpico> кто нибудь по русски разговаривает?
[01:57] <crimsun> damijit: 1) not by default, no.  2) yes, given the music is DRM-stripped prior.
[01:57] <KillerOrca> damijit why don't you just remove the DRM?
[01:57] <zoot_> @free- that's a good question
[01:57] <I-am-weasel> !ru | serpico   .... I think it's russian anyway :P
[01:57] <damijit> how would I go about removing DRM? And will I still be able to use apple's interface for my iPod (on my iPod, not my computer)?
[01:58] <Great_Gatsby> ever since i updated to hardy firefox is taking incredibly long to load
[01:58] <shadowwulf_> jrib, http://paste.ubuntu.com/73612/
[01:58] <pw-toxic> lianimator: i think i have t reset compiz....
[01:58] <KillerOrca> damijit since you're not changing anything on the iPod it will stay the same
[01:58] <pw-toxic> lianimator: i cant do anyhting anymore because wheni use left click on a window, he wants to drag the window isntead of clicking onto it
[01:59] <pw-toxic> lianimator: how can i reset this?
[01:59] <pw-toxic> lianimator: ah if i click altGr i can click somewhere in the window
[01:59] <luigi> !it
[02:00] <lianimator> pw-toxic: how did you configure the key?
[02:00] <jrib> shadowwulf_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/73615/
[02:00] <lianimator> pw-toxic: you should revert. use the keyboard to config it
[02:00] <EJ> ok silly question here, i just installed vnc server on 8.10 Desktop ... where is the start up file located and or how do i start it ?
[02:00] <jlc> EJ: vncserver :10
[02:01] <KillerOrca> damijit Requiem is what I hear is popular to remove the DRM without burning CDs
[02:01] <chaqui1> how can I start a game in a particular resolution?
[02:01] <lianimator> pw-toxic: use the keyboard keys, up down, tab, etc. to reset the keys to default
[02:01] <jlc> vnc4server or tightvncserver
[02:01] <jlc> depends on what is there I guess
[02:01] <TopBunny88> Ubuntu rocks
[02:01] <pw-toxic> lianimator: i just used "deactivated" for "window menu"  in : compiz Manager -> general options -> general -> window menu
[02:01] <pw-toxic> lianimator: thats the only thing i have changed... it it still doesnt work
[02:01] <passive> Any one have successful BearShare v7 installation ?
[02:02] <pw-toxic> lianimator: it really looks like my ALT key is bugge, because aund alt + mouse1 i have the drag
[02:02] <pw-toxic> lianimator: if i press altGr + mouse1 now, it works like i would press mouse1 only normally
[02:02] <lianimator> pw-toxic: you can try disabling compiz first. metacity --replace
[02:03] <pw-toxic> lianimator: i think i have found a bug within compiz
[02:03] <pw-toxic> lianimator: if i change the option of "window menu" to "<Super>Button1" instead of "deactivated" everything works well
[02:03] <lianimator> pw-toxic: then reset the shortcuts.
[02:03] <zoot_> has anyone here used "eee-control"?  http://greg.geekmind.org/eee-control/
[02:04] <zoot_> looks like this might help getting all the hardware going
[02:04] <lianimator> pw-toxic: okay. you found a work-around

[02:08] <lianimator> TVVCR6: type Alt+F2 then system-monitor
[02:08] <mroc> TVVCR6: it's the system monitor - you can add it to the panel or you can get it from System => Administration => System Monitor

[02:08] <philippelhu> new to ubuntu and trying to set my iiyama crt monitor. I cannot find the driver and the generic driver does not allow me to go higher than 800*600 pixels, which is too low. Any idea? (My card is Geforce2) thanks
[02:08] <TVVCR6> mroc: Thank you :)
[02:08] <shadowwulf> jrib,  but i can see the desktop in false colors
[02:09] <mroc> TVVCR6: welcome.
[02:09] <krishna> lianimator: thats what im confused
[02:09] <LF|Irssi> htop is better than system-monitor , it doesnt take up 40% CPU :P
[02:09] <TVVCR6> mroc: How exactly do I add it to the panel
[02:09] <jrib> shadowwulf: I don't know then.  Does it work okay in other OSs like windows?
 : does the command only work after restarting the PC?
[02:09] <lianimator> pw-toxic: kill compiz!
[02:09] <shadowwulf> jrib,  it does
[02:09] <woody86> does anyone know how to setup ekiga for my voip account?
[02:09] <TVVCR6> aeshan: Huh?
 sudo route add gefault gw 192.168.x.x
[02:09] <jrib> shadowwulf: it's not a resolution problem right?
[02:10] <binarymutant> in xchat, whats this red line going across mean?
[02:10] <TVVCR6> ...?
[02:10] <mroc> TVVCR6: right click on a blank part of the panel and there's an "Add to Panel" option.  in the window that pops up, one of the options in the list is the System Monitor.  choose to add that, and then you can move it around by right clicking on the new icon in the panel and choosing "Move"
[02:10] <shadowwulf> jrib, no it is not
[02:10] <jrib> shadowwulf: try asking the channel again.  I don't have any ideas
[02:10] <shadowwulf> jrib, the monitors can handle the resolution
[02:10] <TVVCR6> mroc: thanks
[02:10] <mroc> TVVCR6: no problem.
[02:10] <shadowwulf> jrib,  thanks for the help
[02:10] <TVVCR6> I'm a bit rusty. I haven't used any linux version in over 2 years :s
[02:10] <Dr_willis> binarydigit,  its like a history tag..  if you go to other windows.. it shows where you were at when you left..
[02:11] <binarymutant> Dr_willis, thats cool, but why only certain channels?
[02:11] <Dr_willis> binarymutant,  i see it in all channels...
[02:11] <shadowwulf> can somebody help me with 8.10 and nvidia drivers .. i see my desktop in false colors .. but no text ...
[02:11] <chaqui1> what's htop?
[02:12] <binarymutant> chaqui1, a better replacement for top
[02:12] <Great_Gatsby> i can hear my typing in my speakers
[02:12] <binarymutant> Great_Gatsby, you can probably turn that off in the bios
[02:12] <Great_Gatsby> it just started once i upgraded to hardy
[02:13] <binarymutant> Dr_willis, i'm not seeing it in this chan and in #debian on oftc.net, it's weirding me out :/
[02:13] <break_free> Great_Gatsby, you can hear your typing? Sounds like your mic is on or something
[02:13] <Great_Gatsby> i dont have a mic
[02:13] <Great_Gatsby> im on a laptop
[02:14] <Dr_willis> My Laptops hjave built in mics
[02:14] <binarymutant> Great_Gatsby, my laptop will make a sound for typing, you can turn it off in the bios
[02:14] <break_free> Great_Gatsby, are you sure? A lot of lappy's have built in mics
[02:14] <break_free> oh, weird
[02:14] <Great_Gatsby> every time i hit enter or space i here a blip
[02:14] <Great_Gatsby> this is an old laptop
[02:14] <Great_Gatsby> theres no mic
[02:14] <binarymutant> mine is too
[02:14] <Dr_willis> Great_Gatsby,  try the insert key.. You may be in insert/overwrite mode
[02:14] <break_free> yeah, you might be able to turn off system beeps in your bios
[02:15] <mroc> i'm looking to get a piece of software called "Accentuate" (a fork of the project that used to be called keyjnote).  it seems to only be available through git.  can anyone explain how to get/build this, or point me to something that does explain it?
[02:15] <binarymutant> mroc, sudo apt-get install build-essiential git-core
[02:15] <pw-toxic> lianimator: lol now this is getting really evil ;) if i press the hotkey <super> mouse1  my X11 freezes, so that i cant do any action anymore..  .. zooming with the mosue still works but not keyboard shortcut or mouse action
[02:15] <pw-toxic> lianimator: can you tell me how i can reset x-server manually by console?
[02:16] <pw-toxic> lianimator: (i just have rebootet and everything works again)
[02:16] <lianimator> pw-toxic: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[02:16] <mroc> binarymutant: ok...done.
[02:17] <pw-toxic> lianimator: what stands gdm for?
[02:17] <pw-toxic> ah gnome desktop manger
[02:17] <pw-toxic> ok i will remember this
[02:17] <binarymutant> mroc, git clone <whatever the url is>
[02:17] <binarymutant> mroc, do you have a website I can see to follow along? It'll be easier to help
[02:17] <lianimator> pw-toxic: everything works now? the way you want it?
[02:18] <mroc> binarymutant: http://repo.or.cz/w/accentuate.git
[02:18] <passive> BearShare alternative ?
[02:18] <lianimator> pw-toxic: did Ctrl+Alt+Backspace not restart X?
[02:18] <LF|Irssi> Frostwire
[02:18] <pw-toxic> lianimator: i have done a work around: i have the hotkey "<TopRightEdge><Shift><Control><Alt><Super>Button3 for the hotkey    i think i will NEVER accidantly press this shortcut ;)
[02:18] <binarymutant> mroc, git clone http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page
[02:18] <lianimator> pw-toxic: lol!
[02:18] <pw-toxic> lianimator: i dont know this shortcut but i will try  wait
[02:18] <binarymutant> LOl nm
[02:18] <pw-toxic> lianimator: it works :D
[02:18] <chaqui1> I want 128 cores
[02:18] <binarymutant> mroc *, git clone http://repo.or.cz/w/accentuate.git
[02:19] <pw-toxic> lianimator: strg alt backspace works too
[02:19] <pw-toxic> cool
[02:19] <lianimator> pw-toxic: it worked.. lol
[02:19] <pw-toxic> lianimator: now i have only one issue left: alt + mouse1 doesnt drag my window anymore...  do you know where this option can be found? :D
[02:19] <moonlite> I'm moving files  from my trash-can to my desktop. I have only one partition mounted on "/" (no special home-partition or anything). Why isn't it instantaneous? It is moving the files at 4.6 MB/s now and that just feels weird Anyone?
[02:20] <lianimator> pw-toxic: if you can still type, Alt+F2 then run "metacity --replace" will use metacity instead of compiz
[02:20] <binarymutant> meh my fetch failed mroc
[02:20] <mroc> binarymutant: as did mine
[02:20] <lianimator> pw-toxic: in compiz also
[02:20] <pw-toxic> lianimator: yeah but i have spent hours in compiz manager :D its very big
[02:20] <lianimator> pw-toxic: if you want to use gconf-editor, it's still okay
[02:20] <pw-toxic> lianimator: well compiz is the thing why i have installed ubuntu :D
[02:20] <moonlite> also, i couldn't move all of the files since the trashed folder contains 10 GB of files and my disk only has 2.6 gigs left
[02:20] <lianimator> pw-toxic: use the advanced search. very useful!
[02:21] <moonlite> or at least that's what i was told. Really weird.
[02:21] <mroc> binarymutant: any suggestions on what to do from here, or is there nothing to be done at this point?
[02:22] <binarymutant> mroc, gimmie a sec i
[02:22] <pw-toxic> lianimator: i dont know what i should look for ;)
[02:22] <lianimator> pw-toxic: there is a plugin called move window
[02:22] <moonlite> (now i moved 1,5 GB of the files from trash to the desktop folder and the size of the disk didn't change. And i don't ave a .Trash-folder either in my home-dir. I really dont understand this :D)
[02:23] <pw-toxic> lol!!!!!!!!
[02:23] <binarymutant> mroc, git clone http://repo.or.cz/r/accentuate.git
[02:23] <pw-toxic> lianimator: my initate window move now got the hotkey <Shift><Controls><Alt><Super>Button1
[02:23] <lianimator> moonlite: trash is still stored on your disk.
[02:23] <pw-toxic> lianimator: there really seems to be a strange bug ;)
[02:23] <moonlite> lianimator: yes of course it is
[02:24] <pw-toxic> lianimator: window menu and initate windoe move are coupled ;)
[02:24] <lianimator> pw-toxic: that's a looooong "short" cut
[02:24] <moonlite> but the trash should be stored on the same partition right? making the move instantaneous?
[02:24] <binarymutant> mroc, it's just a single python script
[02:24] <lianimator> pw-toxic: should call it longcut
[02:24] <pw-toxic> lianimator: yes its a long shortcut, but i havend entered it
[02:24] <pw-toxic> lets see what happens if i redefine this hotkey ;)
[02:24] <pw-toxic> i'll remember strg alt backspace ;)
[02:25] <pw-toxic> lianimator: now alt + mouse2 opens the window menu ;)))))))))))))
[02:25] <pw-toxic> lianimator: i have just found a bug ;) do you know where i can commit compiz bugs?
[02:25] <mroc> binarymutant: ok, so...is there no compilation?  do i just make it executable and run it?
[02:25] <Dex-Freudii> I was told to Bootup normally and hit e to drop into the terminal, then add profile to the end of my kernel's startup line. How do I add that?
[02:26] <moonlite> lianimator: and the thing about me not being able to move stuff from thrash whos sum size is bigger than what my partition is also feels strange (since when i move files with size less than that my free disk space don't change)
[02:26] <lianimator> pw-toxic: are you aware of the button numbers?
[02:26] <binarymutant> mroc, it's already executable so just ./accentuate    but it needs python-opengl python-pygame and python-imaging to work, so you'll have to apt-get those dependencies too
[02:26] <tsunami> best bittorrent client for ubuntu??
[02:26] <moonlite> gvfs bug perhaps?
[02:26] <binarymutant> tsunami, rtorrent
[02:26] <lianimator> pw-toxic: button2 is the middle CLICK
[02:27] <pw-toxic> lianimator: ok then its button3
[02:27] <pw-toxic> lianimator: but thats not the problem
[02:27] <moonlite> tsunami: transmissions seems really good
[02:27] <tsunami> binarymutant: does it have a web interface?
[02:27] <binarymutant> tsunami, uh...idk
[02:27] <tsunami> moonlite: i don't really like transmission coming from utorrent
[02:27] <lianimator> pw-toxic: try restarting compiz
[02:27] <lianimator> pw-toxic: Alt+F2 then compiz
[02:27] <pw-toxic> lianimator: the problem is that if i change the shortcut of "initaite window move" of the "move window" plug-in   the hotkey for the window menu does get changed
[02:27] <Dominik2> how can I convert a flash file to pure audio?
[02:27] <IndyGunFreak> tsunami: then just use utorrent, it works quite well w/ wine
[02:27] <pw-toxic> lianimator: i can only change both hotkeys at the same time ...
[02:27] <zzl> does anyone know the irc channel for University of Californias??
[02:28] <zzl> does anyone know the irc channel for University of Californias??
[02:28] <moonlite> tsunami: oh. I never thought of uTorrent as anything but a UI disaster. :)
[02:28] <jpatota> join #security
[02:28] <lianimator> pw-toxic: that IS pretty weird
[02:28] <tsunami> IndyGunFreak: how do you get it running on ubuntu?
[02:28] <binarymutant> tsunami, rtorrent does have a web interface
[02:28] <pw-toxic> lianimator: yes ;)
[02:28] <IndyGunFreak> tsunami: http://www.winehq.org
[02:28] <mroc> binarymutant: thanks so much for your help.  i'll grab the dependencies and see if it works.
[02:28] <nkei0> Hello!  Does anyone know how to solve the wifi killswitch problem?  I've tried changing the module.d option to turn the led on but it didn't work.  I'm trying to figure out how to work the acer hotkey thingie but i'm a newb and don't understand it all
[02:28] <lianimator> pw-toxic: what I'd do is stop compiz, config it, then run it.
[02:28] <zzl> does anyone know the irc channel for University of Californias??
[02:28] <tsunami> moonlite: yeah, it will be helpful to know that i have recently made the move to ubuntu
[02:28] <zzl> does anyone know the irc channel for University of Californias??
[02:28] <zzl> does anyone know the irc channel for University of Californias??
[02:28] <FloodBot1> zzl: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:29] <binarymutant> mroc, just so I know, what does it do?
[02:29] <pw-toxic> lianimator: well my compiz and emerald just broke :D    how can i restart compiz and emerald?
[02:29] <nsteinme> can someone please tell me how to add a VGA 1280x1024 setting to my display with xrandr? I have hardy and for some reason only 800x600 and 640x480 appear in my screen res gui
[02:29] <Dr_willis> zzl,  i would say google may be a good starting point.. it may not neve exist on this server
[02:29] <lianimator> pw-toxic: run "metacity"
[02:29] <brodymcd> Can someone please help? I´m running Ubuntu Studio 8.10... and it allowed me to turn on the Broadcom driver for my wireless. Wireless light is ON, but wlan0 doesn´t show up in network manager... any thoughts, please?
[02:29] <lianimator> pw-toxic: actually "metacity --replace"
[02:30] <lianimator> moonlite: how can trash be bigger than "/"?
[02:30] <break_free> broadcom, how I hate tehe
[02:30] <break_free> thee
[02:30] <nkei0> brodymcd: open up terminal and put in iwconfig and let me know what the wireless comes up with
[02:30] <moonlite> lianimator: well it really isn't.
[02:30] <moonlite> as in
[02:30] <chaqui1> I can't make oolite work
[02:30] <moonlite> all the files must be on the same partition (since when i move from trash to wherever my free disk space doesn't change)
[02:31] <mroc> binarymutant: it's an open-gl based presentation software for doing presentations (.pdf and some other formats too i believe).  it's predecessor was very cool, and is available in the repos, but it hasn't been worked on for a while.
[02:31] <pw-toxic> lianimator: well, strg + alt + backspace did its work
[02:31] <chaqui1> I had it working before, but when I switched resolutions it went blank and I haven't been able to get it to start again
[02:32] <brodymcd> oddly enough, Ubuntu 8.10 live cd had wireless right out of the box cranking, but UStudio throwing me this curve... shouldn´t they be the same?
[02:32] <moonlite> so the error message i get seems totally bogus. while nautilus at the same time tells me i can't move files bigger than free disk space out of it becaus it, for some reason, thinks my trash is on another partition. That probably is the proble
[02:32] <moonlite> very strange though
[02:32] <binarymutant> mroc, sounds cool with the opengl, I wonder if it looks like a slide show with compiz effects
[02:32] <nsteinme> can someone please tell me how to add a VGA 1280x1024 setting to my display with xrandr? I have hardy and for some reason only 800x600 and 640x480 appear in my screen res gui
[02:33] <mrpockets> What does the  >rm -rf /   command do?
[02:34] <motosir__> try it
[02:34] <mrpockets> no
[02:34] <mrpockets> i mean
[02:34] <mrpockets> its remove
[02:34] <motosir__> sudo in front of it though
[02:34] <mrpockets> idk what the -rf options are
[02:34] <mrpockets> and the entire root directory
[02:34] <mrpockets> ?
[02:34] <FloodBot1> mrpockets: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:34] <binarymutant> recursive and force
[02:34] <mrpockets> ah
[02:34] <mrpockets> so delete the entire file system?
[02:34] <binarymutant> so recursivly remove everything ya
[02:34] <mroc> binarymutant: it's recently forked from the old project keyjnote (available in the repositories).  so it should be very similar.  transitions are very nice, very smooth.  definitely much more impressive than running a presentation through openoffice or the presentation mode of a pdf reader.
[02:34] <razboinik> anyway of getting radeonhd with dri support?
[02:35] <pw-toxic> lianimator: well i think i have to leave the drag window hotkey out ;(  ill use keyboard hotkey isntead (strg + space) to initiate drag window
[02:35] <binarymutant> mroc, thanks for the info, I think i'm going to try it out :)
[02:35] <mon^rch> question: what is the name of the server? irc.freenode.net?
[02:35] <binarymutant> mon^rch, ya
[02:35] <mon^rch> ty
[02:36] <mroc> binarymutant: thanks for the help with my question.  worth downloading the script.  i just tried it out, seems to be almost identical, but at least it's actively worked on now.
[02:37] <binarymutant> mroc, I might try and package it if it's not in the repos already
[02:37] <lianimator> pw-toxic: try running gconf-editor
[02:37] <lianimator> pw-toxic: go to apps/metacity/desktop
[02:37] <binarymutant> mroc, LIRC support = very cool
[02:37] <pw-toxic> lianimator: well im happy with the current solution ;)
[02:38] <brodymcd> anyone else please help with Broadcom wireless issue? wlan0 not showing up in network manager despite wireless light ON and Broadcom driver installed
[02:38] <alex_> i have a new ubuntu install, 8.10 x64, and every music program I've used has stopped playing a stream after a short time
[02:38] <alex_> I'm guessing it gets to the end of the buffer then stops
[02:38] <Geforce88> what package does 8.04 use to show shockwave swf games and such ?
[02:39] <Geforce88> !shockwave
[02:39] <Dr_willis> alex_,  got an example player you are using and a stream url? i will try here
[02:39] <pw-toxic> lianimator: i'm playing world of warcraft now ;)
[02:39] <alex_> this is the stream:
[02:39] <alex_> http://deepmix.ru/deepmix128.pls
[02:39] <pw-toxic> does anybody know if ubuntu works fine with windows ans mac os X on a macbook ?
[02:40] <goldmetal> i just installed bootchart, how can i open it?
[02:40] <c0re_> hello. i just installed kde.. but i cant run it :(...
[02:40] <mroc> binarymutant: yes...very.  i won't have a chance to try that out anytime soon, but that's one of the newer developments i think.  i'd love to see a maintained package if you get a chance.  i think it'd benefit a lot of others.  not sure that you can mention it being forked from the older project (the name keyjnote got some legal trouble from apple)
[02:40] <binarymutant> mroc, it needs to be able to recursively go through folders with images though...thats kinda lame
[02:40] <alex_> I've used BMPx, banshee, gnome mplayer and rhythmbox
[02:41] <luis_lopez> Has somebody experimented crashes with the new 64-bit flash plugin running on Intrepid when accessing sites like CNN or Discovery Channel?
[02:41] <break_free> exaile is a really good mp3 player/manager
[02:41] <c0re_> i changed season. still gnome is loaded... .anyone can help me?
[02:41] <break_free> exaile is basically a gnome clone of Amarok
[02:41] <musikgoat> break_free: how is it?
[02:41] <mroc> binarymutant: that is lame, but it works really well for giving presentations in .pdf format (which is what my final version of presentations end up being anyway).  sorry if this is getting off-topic for the channel.
[02:41] <break_free> musikgoat, i really enjoy it
[02:41] <error404notfound> how can I completely remove gnome? I tried apt-get autoremove ubuntu-desktop gnome gnome-core, but there are still atleast 90 appliation gnome-* which are installed...
[02:42] <break_free> musikgoat, haven't had any problems, has good last.fm and shoutcast integration
[02:42] <Dr_willis> alex_,  how long do they normally play till they crash>
[02:42] <musikgoat> !purekde | error404notfound
[02:42] <bazhang> error404notfound, you want only kde?
[02:42] <binarymutant> mroc, oh ya forgot about the topic, well thanks for introducing me to this app I like it
[02:43] <error404notfound> bazhang: I want only commandline... converting a desktop install to serv er
[02:43] <alex_> dr_willis: they don't crash, the music just stops. I haven't actually timed it but I'd say a couple of minutes
[02:43] <Dr_willis> error404notfound,  you could just not start the kdm/gdm service...
[02:43] <TVVCR6> I can't boot into windows
[02:43] <c0re_> error404notfound, then you should get ubuntu server
[02:43] <TVVCR6> I think it's because I never set mount points
[02:43] <error404notfound> Dr_willis: yes, that's what I did 2 hours ago, but they are still consuming space....
[02:44] <Dr_willis> alex_,  going on 2 min here... jamming to the techno-tunes... :)
[02:44] <TVVCR6> nvm it automatically did
[02:44] <mroc> binarymutant: no problem.  i appreciate the help.  i'll keep an eye out for a package in the future in case you feel super motivated. :)
[02:44] <error404notfound> c0re_: no, coz it doesn't detect my usb dsl router, while desktop install does
[02:44] <Dr_willis> error404notfound,   fire up the package manger and start removing stuff I guess...
[02:44] <binarymutant> :D
[02:45] <tsunami> what is the unzip command?
[02:45] <c0re_> Dr_willis, hey can you help me to install kde on ubuntu intrepid.
[02:45] <alex_> luis_lopez: I'm using the 64bit plugin. CNN videos working fine for me. I've noticed in youtube sometimes I need to refresh the page when the video doesn't load properly (the audio plays but the video is a grey rectangle).
[02:45] <error404notfound> Dr_willis: excuse me.... I am not into any UI, and using aptitude's ui would be headache, autoremove should have removed them, shouldn't it?
[02:45] <jamesish> tsunami: unzip
[02:45] <tsunami> owned... :/
[02:45] <Dr_willis> error404notfound,  most likely not.. depoedns on how they got installed.
[02:45] <error404notfound> Dr_willis: did a fresh intrepid installl
[02:45] <tsunami> command to unpack a tar file?
[02:46] <jamesish> tsubani: tar -xf filename
[02:46] <Dr_willis> error404notfound,  and what exactly did you do to try to remove them?
[02:46] <jamesish> tsunami: for it all in one step, tar -xzf filename
[02:46] <alex_> dr_willis: cool, I'm glad you like the stream. i've been listening to this station for a long time on my windows machine so I know it's pretty reliable. There must be something in ubuntu that's causing it. Have you ever played with gstreamer?
[02:46] <lianimator> on my Printer (Canon LBP2900 - detected automatically): Print Test Page gives the error: CUPS server error. There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'client-error-document-format-not-supported'.
[02:46] <binarymutant> jamesish, thats not true
[02:46] <jamesish> the z option is unzipping. Also ungzipping. For unbzipping, you use tar -xjf.
[02:46] <Dr_willis> alex_,  going on 5 min.. Using gmplayer.
[02:46] <jamesish> binarymutant: yes it is.
[02:46] <error404notfound> Dr_willis: as said before apt-get autoremove ubuntu-desktop which is also the way recommend on the link bazhang gave
[02:47] <binarymutant> jamesish, well now it is :/ but a .tar is just -xf
[02:47] <jamesish> binarymutant: that's what I said. Thanks for verifying.
[02:47] <jamesish> (07:46:11 PM) jamesish: tsubani: tar -xf filename
[02:47] <Dr_willis> error404notfound,  from what i recall thats just a meta-package.. if it had been installed with appitude, then aptitude  remove  ubuntu-desktop  might of gotten rid of it.. but ive never really tried.. Just heard of others trying to clean the stuff out, and failing
[02:48] <Dr_willis> error404notfound,  thats an issue  with using meta-packages I guess.
[02:48] <binarymutant> lol srry jamesish I thought it was someone else that posted the -xf first
[02:48] <QuiescentWonder> when i play quicktime videos in firefox sometimes i get the error: "The playback of this movie requires a Run-length encoding decoder plugin which is not installed." can someone help me fix this?
[02:48] <jamesish> binarymutant: np. It's good that you're keeping an eye out :)
[02:48] <alex_> dr_willis: I have no swap file, do you think that could cause it? (but I have 4gb of ram and I'm only using ~500meg)
[02:48] <error404notfound> Dr_willis: yes, it's a meta package, but the way to uninstall it is recommended on ubuntu community docs...
[02:49] <luigi> why i get "mount: the special device /dev/disk/by-uuid/fb9d5a70-a92d-428a-a44f-e80de77b1bb1 non exist"?
[02:49] <jamesish> luigi: the special device presumably doesn't exist.
[02:49] <Jeaton> ok, i installed ubuntu the other day and i still have windows on here
[02:49] <soho> gentoo ftw
[02:49] <Dr_willis> alex_,  Guess it could be.. but i doubt it.. you could create a swap file as a test
[02:49] <luigi> jamesish, i've already create this one!
[02:49] <Dr_willis> !info gentoo
[02:49] <Dr_willis> I like gentoo.. its a good file manager. ;P
[02:50] <alex_> dr_willis: any other ideas?
[02:50] <lazukars> Is there an AutoHotKey equivalent for Ubuntu?
[02:50] <riddlebox> why would my wireless connection drop on me, but it doesnt drop for anyone else?
[02:50] <minhoca_> #ubuntu-br
[02:50] <Dr_willis> alex_,  not really.. going on 9 min here..  the stream is getting a tad repettive...
[02:51] <luigi> jamesish, and i read the UUID with vol_id
[02:51] <riddlebox> why would my wireless connection drop on me, but it doesnt drop for anyone else?
[02:51] <Dr_willis> alex_,  sounds about like an arcade game soundtrack.. :)  without the explosions..
[02:51] <binarymutant> riddlebox, whats the driver?
[02:51] <QuiescentWonder> riddlebox: do you get dropped from other places as well, or just at home?
[02:51] <alex_> dr_willis: ok, so we can confirm the drop-outs aren't caused by the stream :)
[02:51] <riddlebox> QuiescentWonder, everywhere
[02:52] <jamesish> luigi: there's some questions here. First, how did you make the special device?
[02:52] <jamesish> luigi: second, how did you set permissions on it?
[02:52] <riddlebox> binarymutant, it is a eeepc with the madwifi drivers
[02:52] <jamesish> luigi: third, *why* did you make it? These things typically pop into existence when needed
[02:52] <jamesish> luigi: and for good measure, what're you trying to do? ;)
[02:52] <TVVCR6> What's that bash command called that shows information about your drives?
[02:53] <TVVCR6> Like sda, sdb, sdc, etc.
[02:53] <binarymutant> riddlebox, what's the kernel version?
[02:54] <PlaHPoy> anyone know why a dual quad core server would only show (cat /proc/cpuinfo) 2 cpus with 1 core each?
[02:54] <colton> u
[02:55] <luigi> jamesish,  ok... i'm going to set my new HD with fstab.. i cut it in two part with gparted. so i have /dev/sdb1 and sdb2. after i've read the vol_id in ordet to put the uuid in fstab. at the moment sdb1 work, but sbd2 no.
[02:55] <binarymutant> riddlebox, an upgrade might help but idk
[02:56] <woody86> Anyone know how to speed up boot-times with OpenBIOS or initng?
[02:56] <luigi> jamesish, this is the sdb2 in fstab: UUID=fb9d5a70-a92d-428a-a44f-e80de77b1bb1 /media/sdb2  ext3  defaults  0  0
[02:56] <Jeaton> ok, i installed ubuntu and allowed it to create my dual boot
[02:56] <Jeaton> anyway, windows xp is under the options, but it wont boot to it
[02:57] <Jeaton> i know it still exist, as im able to mount it in ubuntu
[02:58] <Flannel> Jeaton: What happens when you try and boot to it?
[02:58] <mroc> binarymutant: it occurred to me that you may find this useful if you plan to use either keyjnote or the fork, accentuate.  This link is a pdf that explains some of the features and keyboard shortcuts.  i didn't see any documentation on the accentuate page. http://demo.openprocess.jp/Sample%20PDF/demo.pdf    enjoy.
[02:58] <camokat> hello
[02:58] <Jeaton> it goes to a black screen and i see something blinking in the top left corner
[02:58] <colton> Hi, I want to access another harddrive on my computer ubuntu, how could I do this?
[02:58] <Jeaton> like two underscores
[02:59] <binarymutant> mroc, ty :)
[02:59] <Flannel> !enter | Jeaton
[02:59] <camokat> I installed Ubuntu on Lenovo S10. Everything works except wireless - Ubuntu doesn't even see the card. Any suggestions
[02:59] <Dominik2> where can i get a documentation of the play command?
[02:59] <camokat> ?
[02:59] <crimsun> Dominik2: man play
[02:59] <Dominik2> crimsun: man play? I don't understand what man means
[02:59] <Flannel> Jeaton: Alright, please pastebin your /boot/grub/menu.lst, and theoutput of `sudo fdisk -l`
[03:00] <shinjin> I want to write some script that will run once when I log in. How do I open a terminal and run it that one time?
[03:00] <mroc> colton: it should be as easy as going to Places => Computer   and then double clicking on the hard drive you'd like to mount (so that you can browse the files).
[03:00] <Flannel> Dominik2: type "man play" and you'll get the man (manual) page on the play command
[03:00] <QuiescentWonder> when i play quicktime videos in firefox sometimes i get the error: "The playback of this movie requires a Run-length encoding decoder plugin which is not installed." can someone help me fix this?
[03:00] <crimsun> Dominik2: if you prefer, see http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/intrepid/en/man1/play.html
[03:00] <PlaHPoy> im having an issue that i have 2 quad core intels in my server but cpuinfo only shows 1core per cpu
[03:00] <jamesish> luigi: why aren't you letting gnome take care of mounting it for you?>
[03:01] <jamesish> luigi: Ah, sorry. Reading further back. I see.
[03:01] <jamesish> luigi: Okay.
[03:01] <colton> Where could I find 'Places' in kubuntu?
[03:01] <luigi> jamesish, ok
[03:01] <luigi> jamesish, i'm going to try to re format this device..
[03:02] <mroc> colton: in the default installation, there are three menu options on the top left of the screen called applications, places, and system.
[03:02] <jamesish> luigi: why are you mounting by UUID? I'm lost there.
[03:02] <jamesish> luigi: I always mount by partition.
[03:02] <martin101> hello
[03:02] <camokat> anybody? S10 + Ubuntu?
[03:02] <luigi> i wont that at each logon ubuntu auto mount my device!
[03:02] <mib> hi
[03:02] <Dr_willis> I like to mount by Label. :)
[03:03] <luigi> jamesish,  i want that at each logon ubuntu auto mount my device!
[03:03] <jessid> Hello. I have a question. Why does ubunutu 8.10 does not turns off the cooler of my laptop once it has started, even If there is not any job that requieres a lot of CPU process???
[03:03] <millertime_018> hey how get startup to automatically mount a partition on startup?
[03:03] <Dr_willis> lugi then you must  somehow make a proper fstab entry for the device
[03:03] <mib> i try to connect my xhdd via usb
[03:03] <riddlebox> ok this is getting annoying
[03:03] <jessid> !cooler
[03:03] <riddlebox> this wireless problem never happened on 8.10
[03:03] <Dr_willis> millertime_018,  then you must  somehow make a proper fstab entry for the device
[03:03] <jessid> !cpu
[03:03] <jamesish> millertime_018: read the stuff that's coming for luigi. It's all about putting an entry in /etc/fstab
[03:03] <mib> i can see the New VOlume(S) but when i try access that drive, it shows me Unable to mount the selected volume
[03:03] <millertime_018> dr_willis: i was thinking about just adding it to preferences>sessions
[03:04] <millertime_018> dr_willis: won't that work? just add the correct command?
[03:04] <mib> mount:unknown filesystem type ntfs-3g error: could not execute pmount
[03:04] <mib> pls help!!
[03:04] <Dr_willis> millertime_018,  do whatever you want.. the proper way is to make a fstab entry.
[03:04] <Jeaton> Flannel: http://rafb.net/p/BoTwA686.html the fdisk -l output is on the top
[03:04] <millertime_018> ok...
[03:04] <Dr_willis> !fstab
[03:05] <millertime_018> dr_willis: then you are still telling louigi how to do it?
[03:05] <jtking> Tryng to setup gfxboot but when I do grub> find /boot/grub/stage1 I get error 15 file not found (but it is there) can someone help?
[03:05] <mib> anyone could help me with my assessing problem?
[03:05] <LugorX> how do I gnome window urgency hint???
[03:06] <jamesish> LugorX: You just the window.
[03:06] <Dr_willis> millertime_018,  not told him how to do much yet.  .. just what needs to be done..  fstab file is documented in several dozen  places/wikipages/guides/tips/tutorials... also it will depend on the filesystem used
[03:07] <millertime_018> dr_willis: mine is ntfs
[03:07] <Flannel> Jeaton: That all looks good.  Is it just a black screen with a cursor? or is there text before the cursor?
[03:08] <Dr_willis> millertime_018,  thats documented all over also.. but one easy way - is to install/run the 'ntfs-config' utility...
[03:08] <Dr_willis> !ntfs-3g
[03:08] <mib> so i need to install that?
[03:08] <Jeaton> i believe it's just a cursor, but i can check again
[03:09] <millertime_018> dr_willis: I already have that on there...
[03:09] <constantin_> can anyone help me with a newbie problem? I installed ubuntu side by side OS X and was using rEFIt to choose between the two installations. i accidentally deleted rEFIT and now I cant get back to my OS X partition
[03:09] <mib> because im just connecting my externahl hard disk via usb to my desktop
[03:09] <mib> on ubuntu but its doesnt work
[03:09] <millertime_018> dr_willis. When i opened it, it said "the following partitions were detected and can be configured:
[03:09] <jamesish> mib: did you even *try* to look this up?
[03:09] <millertime_018> and then it had my partition
[03:09] <tony_> why does 8.04 have inode value of 128 and 8.10 inode value of 256?
[03:09] <mib> yeah
[03:09] <mib> im on the page
[03:09] <tony_> !inode
[03:10] <jamesish> mib: what page?
[03:10] <millertime_018> dr_willis: but does that mean that if i check the box that it will mount it on startup?
[03:10] <Jeaton> ill check it out now, brb
[03:10] <mib> jameish: For NTFS partitons
[03:10] <techman224> Does anyone know how to change the download mirror in ubuntu server 8.10?
[03:10] <jtking> Tryng to setup gfxboot but when I do grub> find /boot/grub/stage1 I get error 15 file not found (but it is there) can someone help?
[03:11] <jamesish> mib: there's somewhere along the lines of several billion pages on the net; you got a link?>
[03:11] <Dr_willis> millertime_018,  yes.
[03:11] <nickrud> techman224, system->admin->software sources , the download tab. Choose other
[03:11] <mib> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions/ThirdPartyNTFS3G
[03:11] <mib> ?
[03:11] <Dr_willis> millertime_018,  try it and see..
[03:11] <millertime_018> Dr_willis: thanx! lol
[03:11] <Flannel> mib: What version of Ubuntu are you on?
[03:11] <millertime_018> dr_willis: and all this time!
[03:11] <techman224> nickrud, on a command line
[03:11] <Flannel> techman224: edit your sources.list
[03:11] <nickrud> techman224, edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:11] <Dr_willis> millertime_018,  i always  set mountpoints for mine.. in the installer. :)
[03:11] <techman224> where's that
[03:11] <jamesish> mib: and which of the instructions did you follow?
[03:12] <techman224> I see
[03:12] <mib> Flannel: im using 6.06
[03:12] <mib> i believe i have ntfs-3g which is why the error pops up
[03:12] <Flannel> mib: then yeah, you'll need a third party repo of ntfs-3g
[03:12] <millertime_018> dr_willis: installer?
[03:12] <millertime_018> dr_willis: what do you mean?
[03:12] <mib> but what did the mount:unknown filesystem type ntfs-3g means?
[03:13] <tony_> why does 8.04 have inode value of 128 and 8.10 inode value of 256?
[03:13] <mib> does it mean my x hdd is ntfs-3g type?
[03:13] <tony_> mib, hello sinner
[03:13] <nickrud> techman224, you intending to change your ubuntu repo, or add another repo?
[03:13] <Dr_willis> millertime_018,  when i install ubuntu.. you can set the mountpoint for your ntfs filesystems..
[03:13] <Flannel> mib: It means it doesn't know what it is.  You've specified a partition to be treated as ntfs-3g
[03:13] <Flannel> tony_: Please don't do that.
[03:13] <techman224> nickrud, change it
[03:13] <tony_> Flannel, ok
[03:13] <mib> so i need to install the ntfs-3g and its fine ?
[03:14] <Flannel> mib: Yes
[03:14] <nickrud> techman224, ok, if you were adding I was going to suggest adding a file to /etc/apt/sources.list.d , but just change the file I already gave you
[03:14] <Jeaton> Flannel: okay, it says "Starting Up..." then it sits on that cursor
[03:14] <millertime_018> dr_willis: ahhh i didn't know that
[03:16] <woody86> how can I make g-thumb my default picture viewer?
[03:17] <nsteinme> can someone please tell me how to add a VGA 1280x1024 setting to my display with xrandr? I have hardy and for some reason only 800x600 and 640x480 appear in my screen res gui
[03:18] <mib> thanks Flanel
[03:18] <mib> i have one more question.
[03:18] <mib> i get it access ..do you know what or how can i retrieve the full path to the x hdd?
[03:18] <Flannel> Jeaton: Alright, we'll try one thing, and if that doesn't work, its an issue with windows (and you'll need to run fixmbr from a windows recovery CD, then reinstall GRUB)
[03:18] <Peddy> Once installed, where are Linux kernels stored?
[03:18] <mib> i intend to write some files onto it ..is it under /media?
[03:19] <tsunami> would anyone mind walking me through an rtorrent install?
[03:19] <constantin_> can anyone help me with a newbie problem? I installed ubuntu side by side OS X and was using rEFIt to choose between the two installations. i accidentally deleted rEFIT and now I cant get back to my OS X partition
[03:19] <jamesish> tsunami: sudo apt-get install rtorrent
[03:19] <jamesish> tsunami: you're welcome for the walk through ;)
[03:19] <tsunami> jamesish: thanks ;)
[03:20] <Flannel> Peddy: /boot/
[03:20] <Peddy> tsunami: in a terminal ;)
[03:20] <Jeaton> alright, i'm ready any time
[03:20] <Peddy> thanks Flannel
[03:20] <nsteinme> can someone please tell me how to add a VGA 1280x1024 setting to my display with xrandr? I have hardy and for some reason only 800x600 and 640x480 appear in my screen res gui
[03:20] <mib> what is the exact path for these external volumne?
[03:20] <PlaHPoy> anyone have any idea why a server install on a dual quad core only show 1 core per cpu
[03:20] <tsunami> is there a gui in the repo?
[03:20] <R-C-M> hey, has anyone here tried ubuntu netbook remix out on the Samsung RC-10 yet? I now it's new and all, but what's the status with regards to hardware functionality for it?
[03:21] <mib> okie.got it.
[03:21] <mib> under media
[03:21] <Flannel> Jeaton: Open up your menu.lst (/boot/grub/menu.lst, you'll need to use sudo), and change the line near the bottom (under the windows thing) from "root" to "rootnoverify", I believe it's "root (hd0,0)"  You'll change that to "rootnoverify (hd0,0)"
[03:21] <Peddy> is there a command that says where the running kernel is stored?
[03:22] <tat-> PlaHPoy: sure its dual core? if so, maybe the dual core functionallity is disabled in bios?
[03:22] <PlaHPoy> its 2 quad core cpus
[03:22] <nsteinme> can someone please tell me how to add a VGA 1280x1024 setting to my display with xrandr? I have hardy and for some reason only 800x600 and 640x480 appear in my screen res gui
[03:22] <jamesish> Peddy: ls /boot , I guess.
[03:22] <EJ> has anyone had any luck in setting up an up-to-date repository for FreeNX ?
[03:22] <PlaHPoy> tat: its a dual quad core xeon server
[03:22] <PlaHPoy> cat /proc/cpuinfo only shows the cpus with 1 core
[03:23] <Peddy> jamesish: what if it isn't installed in /boot (if that's even possible), because I have a 7.10 (lol) kernel installed somewhere, and my computer randomly boots into it sometimes.
[03:23] <PlaHPoy> i posted boot log and info here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=985664
[03:23] <Prose> in Hardy Heron, auto login and toggling between languages with keyboard shortcut could not coexist. Has this changed in Ibex ?
[03:24] <Dreamglider> i have a dell inspiron 6000 that im trying to install ubuntu on, but after the install is done and i reboot, it seems that no bootloader is pressent, i tried fedora and it dorked fine. how would i solve this ?
[03:24] <jamesish> Peddy: I'm not gonna put too fine a point on this. If you think your system is randomly booting different kernels, you're in a world of pain. You can do stuff like fix /boot/grub/menu.lst, but something that fundamental pretty much screams to me that either someone's screwing with you or you hosed your own system.
[03:24] <compu73rg33k> How can i go about uninstalling or disabling the nswrapper for 32 bit flash and use the newly released adobe 64 bit version?
[03:24] <PassionFRUI7E> Hello.  I installed firefox32 on my amd64 some time ago to play flash but I lost the shortcut.  Anybody know where the directory is?
[03:24] <jamesish> Peddy; THe fact is, systems don't boot random kernels. They boot the one they're asked to.
[03:25] <nsteinme> can someone please tell me how to add a VGA 1280x1024 setting to my display with xrandr? I have hardy and for some reason only 800x600 and 640x480 appear in my screen res gui
