[17:00] <RockShox> its not full
[17:00] <Guest68250> Hi! im trying to install ubuntu netbook remix thru a usm flash drive but nothing happends when I boot from it
[17:00] <jensm1> somone who want to help me?
[17:00] <Da_Kr0n> i setup raid via my bios, then uninstalled it via bios again, now ubuntu has a raid header on my drive and i want to remove it
[17:00] <^workman^> !ask | jensm1
[17:00] <BlouBlou> !ask | jensm1
[17:01] <crontab101> ubuntuuser what webcam do you have because it didnt recognize mine either until i found some drivers
[17:01] <RockShox> oh dmesg reports ssh segfaulting too
[17:02] <jensm1> anyone who have expiriance with fujitsu simens netbook amilo mini ?
[17:02] <^workman^> RockShox: hmm, could be memory...
[17:02] <mr-john> do u know a software which allow me the access control to computers from an AP, i need to generate a ticket which let the client connects to my AP for an hour, im looking for in google but all is for windows and shareware... anybody knows a simple way to do this
[17:03] <jensm1> I have a usb stick who will boot from windows, but I want to install on my netbook but there doesnt it load at all
[17:03] <apparle> I currently have to add an option line to alsa-base.conf in order to get sound... it that a bug... should I report it
[17:04] <^workman^> mr-john: something like radius (if supported by your AP) can handle that. But, I'm not an expert on it...
[17:04] <maxagaz_> what is n ad hoc network ?
[17:04] <UbuntuUser> crontab101, its built in my msi wind u100
[17:04] <crontab101> ok ill search for some drivers
[17:04] <UbuntuUser> crontab101, it use to connect fine but not now, i may have to reinstall the OS
[17:04] <^workman^> maxagaz: it's like a peer to peer network-- 2 computers talking together
[17:04] <UbuntuUser> crontab101, thanks
[17:05] <^workman^> !commands
[17:05] <^workman^> hmm
[17:05] <^workman^> anyone know ubottu's  ! for a list of factoids?
[17:05] <crontab101> http://download1.msi.com.tw/files/downloads/dvr_exe/camera_linux_u100_nb.zip
[17:05] <alesan> hi what is the package that delivers the full kernel sources (not headers only)?
[17:06] <^workman^> alesan: kernel.org =) not sure what ubuntu's is. I like to compile the latest stable
[17:06] <crontab101> somebody read this for ubuntuuser http://ambospeak.blogspot.com/2008/12/getting-msi-wind-webcam-to-work-under.html'
[17:07] <alesan> I mean the kernel sources for the current kernel it is installed in ubuntu. there is a package with headers but not one with the full sources, as far as I can see in the list
[17:07] <mr-john> ^workman^> thanks im going to look for
[17:07] <crontab101> oh that might not work uuser
[17:07] <^workman^> mr-john: good luck!
[17:07] <UbuntuUser> crontab101, addresses not found. the camera use to work fine though
[17:08] <llutz> alesan: apt-get install linux-source
[17:08] <^workman^> !factoid > ^workman^
[17:08] <crontab101> u said msi wind u100 right and ubuntu 9.10?
[17:08] <UbuntuUser> crontab101, yes
[17:09] <flan_suse> How does the pkill command know which process to kill if there are multiple instances? For example, what if two users both have an instance of vlc running and you do "pkill vlc" as root?
[17:09] <crontab101> yeah i wouldnt even try that link then i will search some more
[17:09] <flan_suse> crontab101, I am using Ubuntu 9.10 on an MSI Wind u100 as well.
[17:09] <UbuntuUser> flan_suse, have you tried force quit or xkill?
[17:09] <UbuntuUser> crontab101, thanks
[17:10] <flan_suse> UbuntuUser, I just joined the chat room. What was the issue?
[17:10] <UbuntuUser> flan_suse, my webcam use to work fine for cheese and gyachi, but doesn't now
[17:10] <flan_suse> UbuntuUser, you mean it worked fine under 9.04 but not 9.10 anymore?
[17:10] <h4ck3r> Hi Guys :)
[17:11] <UbuntuUser> flan_suse, it always worked in 9.10
[17:11] <llutz> flan_suse: pkill has several options, default it would kill all instances
[17:11] <flan_suse> llutz, ah, okay. Thank you.
[17:11] <_Lucretia_> hi, does the latest version of ubuntu have working php debs? I mean, with fixed imajick libs, etc?
[17:11] <flan_suse> llutz, and if pkill is run by a normal user, it will only kill the processes which are under that user's id?
[17:11] <llutz> flan_suse: afaik yes
[17:12] <flan_suse> llutz, thank you.
[17:12] <llutz> flan_suse: would be strange to kill other users apps as use
[17:12] <llutz> r
[17:12] <flan_suse> llutz, it helps, because I need to edit some menu shortcuts to this: pkill app & app
[17:13] <flan_suse> llutz, sometimes a program will just hang when I try to start it up, and I have to kill it to start it again. But doing "pkill app & app" will kill it for me before trying to launch it again. I was curious if it would affect other user processes.
[17:13] <llutz> flan_suse: maybe have a look into man pkill, there might be helpfull options
[17:13] <mac9416> Hello, what kernel come with a fresh install of Karmic?
[17:13] <crontab101> Try to press Fn+F6?nin Terminal (Alt-F2 -- gnome-terminal)nlsusbnbefore Fn+F6, and after it.
[17:13] <llutz> flan_suse: it should affect others
[17:13] <Pici> mac9416: 2.6.31
[17:13] <flan_suse> UbuntuUser, I am going to see if my web cam works on my u100, Karmic netbook. (I don't have the Netbook Remix, so I think I need to install Cheese.)
[17:13] <flan_suse> llutz, you mean "shouldn't"?
[17:14] <UbuntuUser> flan_suse, ok thanks
[17:14] <llutz> flan_suse: ups, i meant, sry
[17:14] <mac9416> Pici, thanks. Can I have the full uname -r though?
[17:14] <crontab101> flan and ubuntu on that netbook Try to press Fn+F6?nin Terminal (Alt-F2 -- gnome-terminal)nlsusbnbefore Fn+F6, and after it.
[17:14] <UbuntuUser> i actually dislike the UNR theme, but thats just me
[17:14] <flan_suse> UbuntuUser, I take it you also noticed the bug that affects changing the display brightness with the hot keys?
[17:14] <UbuntuUser> it seems to "get in the way"
[17:14] <UbuntuUser> flan_suse, yes, and i removed the powere manager to fix it
[17:14] <crontab101> i think that was the program that tells you whether your devices  connected or not
[17:14] <flan_suse> UbuntuUser, I found that UNR is almost pointless. The regular desktop version works better for me.
[17:14] <A-Rishi> I am having problems with Ubuntu one ( ubuntu 9.10), whenever I click connect, it disconnects in 2 seconds saying my files are synced when it definately isn't. (I have added the computer)
[17:15] <flan_suse> UbuntuUser, plus, it can interfere if you try to install another desktop environment, like XFCE or KDE. UNR is too invasive.
[17:15] <flan_suse> UbuntuUser, they have a TON of people confirming the bug, so I'm guessing it'll be fixed soon.
[17:15] <crontab101> my cam looked terrible when i finally got it installed in ubuntu
[17:16] <UbuntuUser> flan_suse, caused by an update, perhaps?
[17:16] <crontab101> but to see if linux even detects your camera, Try to press Fn+F6?nin Terminal (Alt-F2 -- gnome-terminal)nlsusbnbefore Fn+F6, and after it.
[17:16] <jensm1> someone here who feel that they can guide me thru the installation with USB flash on netbook?
[17:16] <flan_suse> UbuntuUser, the bug? It was introduced with 9.10, not an update. 9.04 did not have this issue with MSI Wind u100.
[17:16] <UbuntuUser> jensm1, have you tried unetbootin?
[17:16] <UbuntuUser> flan_suse, oh i thought ya meant the webcam thing
[17:17] <^workman^> jensm1: or pendrivelinux.com
[17:17] <UbuntuUser> flan_suse, from my experience the only fix is to remove power manager
[17:17] <crontab101> oh you say your cam worked in 9.10 and now it doesnt?
[17:17] <jensm1> ubuntuuser: yes I am using it,
[17:17] <flan_suse> UbuntuUser, I don't know. I have the latest updates applied on 9.10, so I'll see if the camer works.
[17:17] <crontab101> because mine just didnt work from fresh install
[17:17] <Pici> !info linux | mac9416
[17:17] <UbuntuUser> jensm1, how about Ubuntu USB Creator
[17:17] <UbuntuUser> ?
[17:18] <UbuntuUser> i mean startup disc creator
[17:18] <mac9416> Pici, and that's what comes with a fresh install of Karmic?
[17:18] <wildc4rd> evening all
[17:18] <platypus03> ^workman^, that raid issue is very strange... it errors out while trying to remove metadata
[17:18] <platypus03> but there shouldn't be metadata, it was never part of an array ever
[17:18] <kkszysiu> hello happy Ubuntu users. I have some problems with when Im updating packets like E: libcommons-daemon-java: podproces installed post-installation script return error 2
[17:18] <eventi> has anyone packaged php5.3 for Ubuntu 8.10 yet?
[17:18] <ivze> Good time, people! Could anyone help me with terminal bell? After lots of complains about noisy pc speaker beeping, it was disabled. But I would like to have beeps in gnome-terminal (vim, bash completion...). What Shall I do?.
[17:19] <kkszysiu> Its from karmic alpha but even when I have stable now I have that errors
[17:19] <^workman^> platypus: have you tried booting from a live cd, dropping to a shell, and re-creating a new partition?
[17:19] <kkszysiu> is any method to rebuild info about packages?
[17:19] <Pici> mac9416: Actually thats a little out of date, the Karmic section here is more accurate: https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux
[17:19] <jensm1> The thing is, when I have made an "ubuntu usb" I can see that it have stuff on it in windows, but when I plug it in and boot up my netbook its only a black screen with the crusor twinlke
[17:20] <platypus03> ^workman^, yes
[17:20] <platypus03> i can create a partition just fine via fdisk
[17:20] <santosh> all geeks
[17:20] <platypus03> but the system wont see it because dmraid complains about missing a disk
[17:20] <platypus03> and then the installer sees nothing for available disks
[17:20] <^workman^> platypus: but do you have your BIOS raid enabled?
[17:20] <flan_suse> jensm1, is this the Desktop CD or the Alternate CD?
[17:20] <platypus03> ^workman^ RAID is disabled in the bios
[17:20] <^workman^> platypus: strange..
[17:20] <platypus03> yep
[17:21] <platypus03> its like a catch22
[17:21] <^workman^> platypus: I take it this is a new disk
[17:21] <mac9416> Pici, "2.6.31-14.48" Awesome. Thanks.
[17:21] <flan_suse> jensm1, sounds like the USB creator (or whatever you used) didn't make the USB bootable.
[17:21] <platypus03> actually no, this is the handiwork of fedora
[17:21] <platypus03> it had fc10 on it or somethign before it came to me
[17:21] <platypus03> and it put this metadata on the disk somehow
[17:21] <^workman^> platypus: cough, cough... lol
[17:21] <platypus03> but i cannot erase said metadata
 I use ubuntu netbook remix http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download-netbook
[17:21] <^workman^> platypus: let me check something, brb
[17:21] <jensm1> and it boots inside windows without problems
[17:21] <platypus03> im at the point where I just 0 the drive but thats pretty ridic
[17:21] <platypus03> ok thanks
[17:22] <^workman^> platypus: when you run fisk -l and you pastbin it for me
[17:23] <ranjan> in which formate gimp can save file so that it can be used after word for editing
[17:23] <platypus03> ^workman^,  sure, but its just a listing of available raid types
[17:23] <platypus03> er sorry misread that
[17:23] <platypus03> let me get the fdisk output, not the dmraid -l output ;)
[17:23] <jensm1> flan_suse are you still there?
[17:24] <^workman^> ranjan: pick a format, gimp supports all of the most popular ones, jpg, png, gif, etc etc
[17:24] <flan_suse> jensm1, run "cfdisk /dev/sdb" as root and see if the USB partition has a bootable flag enabled. (Replace sdb with the correct drive that is your USB stick.)
[17:24] <crontab101> ubuntuuser i thinki found you something
[17:25] <^workman^> platypus: fdisk -l should be listing the Disks. if it's listing disks and sees them as part of a raid, then that may be reported by a hardware problem?
[17:25] <jensm1> flan_suse: in what app? I am on a windows machine now
[17:25] <^workman^> platypus: fdisk -l doesn't read metadata
[17:25] <erUSUL> ranjan: after word ? native gimpe file format is xcf
[17:26] <flan_suse> jensm1, oh, it's a Linux command.
[17:26] <crontab101> nvm.
[17:26] <Phuzion> hello trying to find some help for a wireless card unclaimed run iwconfig with all 0's
[17:26] <Phuzion> using Karmic
[17:27] <^workman^> Phuzion: is the wireless card supported by the kernel?
[17:27] <flan_suse> jensm1, maybe look with Control Panel > Administrative Tasks > Computer Manager > Disk Managment ?
[17:27] <flan_suse> jensm1, you want to make sure the USB is bootable.
[17:27] <flan_suse> UbuntuUser, I'm downloading "cheese" now to test the web cam on my netbook.
[17:27] <mrwoody> hi *. Does anyone know why plasma shortcuts do not work (I am using compiz on kde)
[17:28] <Phuzion> workman yes.... it was working fine, then one day it just crashed... things have been funny with it since we moved...  I've only done it once
[17:31] <Alissa> :-)
[17:31] <nperry> carlosb78: What seems to be your problem?
[17:31] <UbuntuUser> flan_suse, it works fine by default, its just that for some reason it stopped working
[17:31] <^workman^> !pastbin | Phuzion
[17:31] <^workman^> arrg
[17:31] <^workman^> !pastebin | Phuzion
[17:31] <jensm1> flan_suse what filesystem? does that matter? I have ntfs now
[17:31] <carlosb78> I installed the printing function but can not scan
[17:32] <carlosb78> I ran sane-find-scanner
[17:32] <ranjan> i am ediiting an file and the work of editing is not complited and i want to complet the reming part tomorrow so i am wondering  how should i save my work ... in which formate should i shave my todays completed part so that i can complet the remaining part tomorrow
[17:32] <carlosb78> and it seemed to find it, but not under  a name...
[17:32] <_CommandeR_> carlosb78, is it connected on the network or ?
[17:32] <nperry> carlosb78: usb?
[17:32] <^workman^> ranjan: how are you editing the file? what editor are you using?
[17:33] <carlosb78> USB
[17:33] <nperry> carlosb78:  What is the model
[17:33] <carlosb78> I tried the Epson SW through wine, didn't work, the model is SX415
[17:33] <flan_suse> UbuntuUser, I can't seem to get the webcam to turn on either.
[17:33] <flan_suse> jensm1, NTFS on the USB?
[17:33] <jensm1> yes
[17:34] <flan_suse> jensm1, that's probably why it's not booting.
[17:34] <UbuntuUser> flan_suse, i used it just fine last week
[17:34] <flan_suse> jensm1, the USB creator should have made it a FAT32 file system.
[17:34] <jensm1> flan_suse so Fat32 then?
[17:34] <UbuntuUser> or the week before
[17:34] <flan_suse> UbuntuUser, so the red light won't turn on for you anymore?
[17:34] <UbuntuUser> nope
[17:34] <jensm1> well whats the link to USBcreator?
[17:34] <flan_suse> jensm1, yes, but it's best to start with a formatted FAT32 USB stick, and THEN use USB creator on it.
[17:35] <sp1r1t> hello guys
[17:35] <UbuntuUser> jensm1, it should be already installed
[17:35] <flan_suse> jensm1, it's an Ubuntu application. For Windows, use UNetbootin
[17:35] <ranjan> one more question i am facing one more problem with transmission  some times it say ther is no such file directory to store the day although the  downlods are compleated  i  am trying to seed that thing back  but sometime ... this type of problem is woring me ... please help
[17:35] <flan_suse> UbuntuUser, this is weird. I wonder why it stopped workig?
[17:35] <Phuzion> ^workman^ pasted
[17:35] <UbuntuUser> flan_suse, i really don't know. i think i should probably just reinstall the OS
[17:36] <UbuntuUser> flan_suse, for the brightness flickering, did you use the same workaround i did?
[17:36] <^workman^> Phuzion: ok, paste the link into the irc channel for me =)
[17:36] <nperry> carlosb78: Please can you pastbine ' sudo sane-find-scanner '
[17:36] <nperry> !pastebin | carlosb78
[17:36] <jensm1> flan_suse so i format to fat32 and then use UNetbootin
[17:36] <ranjan> workman:: i am using gimpe and i am able to save my work for the day
[17:36] <Phuzion> http://paste.ubuntu.com/334642/
[17:36] <llutz> ranjan: save it as xcf, load next time
[17:36] <^workman^> ranjan: use the default xcf format....
[17:36] <flan_suse> jensm1, I'd try that, yes.
[17:37] <bhabalinux> hello everyone! Is there anyway I can use slideshow in gnome desktop by which wallpapers located in a particular folder changes every given time automatically? I tried many things, didn't work.
[17:37] <ranjan> workman:: thanks
[17:37] <UbuntuUser> i'm thinkin about just switching to xfce, it seems more stable
[17:37] <carlosb78> found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8, product=0x0851) at libusb:001:005
[17:37] <flan_suse> UbuntuUser, no. I just don't change the brightness. I leave it at 0% all the time. The u100's lowest brightness setting is still bright! That's why it has such poor battery life.
[17:37] <ranjan> i am having one more issue with transmission
[17:38] <UbuntuUser> flan_suse, i have to have high brightness lol
[17:38] <^workman^> Phuzion: hmm
[17:38] <flan_suse> UbuntuUser, plus, you can add the display brightness applet to the panel, and use the slider to adjust the brightness. (The bug is only with the hot keys.)
[17:38] <zek_> I am trying to set up alsa.  for some reason i have a file called linux-sound-base_noOSS that blacklists the module i need for my driver.  I assume that is why alsaconf doesnt find my sound card.  should i just remove the line from the file?
[17:38] <Phuzion> ^workman^ http://paste.ubuntu.com/334645/
[17:38] <flan_suse> UbuntuUser, I tried XFCE, but it gives you less control. Try editing the menu in XFCE, lol.
[17:39] <UbuntuUser> flan_suse, but it still does the flickering at startup no matter what
[17:39] <ranjan> i am having one more issue with transmission ::: some time it use to give me an error msg ... there is no such file or directory naming that file ... any help please
[17:39] <flan_suse> UbuntuUser, it does? Not for me. Do you have it set to change the brightness when unplugged? (I don't.)
[17:39] <meero> how to setup second instance of SSH?
[17:39] <nperry> carlosb78: bare with me two mins
[17:39] <UbuntuUser> flan_suse, also you can't decide how much space you want between the icons on the panel
[17:39] <nperry> Just got to double check my config files!
[17:39] <^workman^> Phuzion: when you left click on your network icon in the gnome gui, is the wireless option listed?
[17:39] <UbuntuUser> flan_suse, i keep it plugged in, no battery
[17:39] <UbuntuUser> i only put the batter on if i take it somewhere
[17:40] <Phuzion> ^workman^ no... my wireless is unclaimed
[17:40] <jensm1> whis me luck
[17:40] <nperry> carlosb78: http://paste.ubuntu.com/334647/ put all of this in the file name in the pastebin
[17:40] <flan_suse> UbuntuUser, XFCE, to me, seems like a good idea to revive an old, slow PC. Other than that, I'd stick with GNOME for more control and flexibility. Plus, Thunar can't connect to a network share, like Nautilus can.
[17:40] <^workman^> Phuzion: how about running the hardware drivers app from system->Administration
[17:40] <STALIWAR> привет
[17:40] <Pici> !ru | STALIWAR
[17:41] <^workman^> Phuzion: !ru | STALIWAR
[17:41] <UbuntuUser> flan_suse, what do you mean network share?
[17:41] <flan_suse> UbuntuUser, weird. It doesn't do that for me on startup, and I have the PowerManager enabled.
[17:41] <^workman^> lol srry
[17:41] <STALIWAR> руддщ
[17:41] <STALIWAR> hello
[17:41] <Phuzion> ^workman^ I don't understan STALIWAR??
[17:41] <nperry> carlosb78: OK? tell me when your done :)
[17:41] <flan_suse> UbuntuUser, like if there is a CIFS (SMB) share on another computer, say a Music folder. With Nautilsus (GNOME), you can browse to that folder, enter username/password, and access the files over the network. There is no way to do this in Thunar (XFCE).
[17:41] <jensm1> still no luck
[17:42] <^workman^> Phuzion: srry, I miss typed

[17:42] <UbuntuUser> flan_suse, oh, thats why i didn't know lol thanks. i just use my computer with mine, i don't do the whole remote thing
[17:42] <flan_suse> UbuntuUser, the "easy way", I'm sure you might have seen, is when you enable "Folder Sharing" on Windows, or "Share this folder" on Ubuntu / Linux Mint. It's basically a network share, using Samba.
[17:43] <STALIWAR> I'm want setup Ubuntu 9.10. Is this good idea?
[17:43] <UbuntuUser> i tried mint, it wouldn't go past the loading thing with live cd/usb
[17:43]  * meero Cafte secia ako? :)

[17:45] <Serial_Velocity> alway use gksudo on GUIs @ nperry
[17:46] <^workman^> Phuzion: odd, it shows on line 16 that you have an IP address assigned
[17:46] <carlosb78> no devices were found.
[17:46] <nperry> bahhhh Serial_Velocity :P
[17:46] <maxagaz_> how to create a wifi network and make my iphone connect to it ?
[17:46] <^workman^> Phuzion: try sudo rmmod sky2; sudo moprobe sky2; then run dmesg

[17:46] <jensm1> flan_suse: can it have somthing to do with I tried to install ubuntu before and fucked up the partitions so whan I try to boot up my netbook now it says invalid partition table? (this is what happends if I boot without usb)
[17:47] <llutz> maxagaz_: use ad-hoc connection, if iPhone supports that.
[17:47] <^workman^> Phuzion: line 16 of the pastebin...
[17:47] <konbon> Hello everyone :)
[17:47] <BlouBlou> !hi | konbon
[17:48] <nperry> carlosb78: Weird, that worked on my old SX400
[17:48] <flan_suse> jensm1, the USB should boot fine, regardless of what partition scheme you have on your hard drive.
[17:48] <nperry> Obv it was a different lsusb string
[17:48] <maxagaz_> llutz, that's what i did, the iphone can connect to the network, but my computer doesn't give it an ip
[17:48] <flan_suse> jensm1, because the Ubuntu installer will allow you to repartition the drive.
[17:48] <carlosb78> are you runing the newest version of ubuntu?
[17:49] <carlosb78> Nperry
[17:49] <llutz> maxagaz_: you need static ips or something like dnsmasq running
[17:49] <jensm1> flan_suse: Thats good. well nothing still happends when I try to boot with usb ubuntu, I am dl slax now to try that boot
[17:49] <llutz> maxagaz_: or dhcpd (overkill)
[17:49] <stsm> how do i install true combat elite and enemy territory wolfenstein on 9.10 64bit please?
[17:50] <Aruna> Anyone help me..  i am new to Debian i have installed Kubuntu on my Laptop can i install Debian as dual instalation ?
[17:50] <maxagaz_> llutz, dnsmasq is already running
[17:50] <nperry> carlosb78: Running karmic, on this laptop at the momet.
[17:51] <nperry> *moment
[17:51] <greezmunkey> Is there a quick explanation of the differance between ext3 and ext4 filesystem(s)?
[17:51] <llutz> maxagaz_: configured for acting as dhcp-server too?

[17:51] <jordyye> sabe español
[17:52] <jordyye> sabe alguien español
[17:52] <maxagaz_> llutz, that I don't know
[17:52] <nperry> Wheres that factroid gone :s
[17:52] <LjL> !es | jordyye
[17:52] <llutz> maxagaz_: check config
[17:52] <bradpitt> hi.. really sorry for interrupting. but can you guys enqueue torrent with transmission? thanks
[17:52] <maxagaz_> llutz, /usr/sbin/dnsmasq --no-hosts --keep-in-foreground --bind-interfaces --no-poll --except-interface=lo --listen-address=<IP_ADDRESS> --dhcp-range=<IP_ADDRESS>,<IP_ADDRESS>,60m --dhcp-option=option:router,<IP_ADDRESS> --dhcp-lease-max=50 --pid-file=/var/run/nm-dnsmasq-eth1.pid
[17:52] <carlosb78> thanks for the hand
[17:52] <Aruna> i have installed kubunto on my laptop... can i install Debian with my kubuntu ?
[17:52] <greezmunkey> nperry, is it just a matter of larger addressable area?
[17:53] <maxagaz_> llutz, that's what ps aux prints
[17:53] <Gibby> How do I check if Ubuntu is seeing me video card?
[17:53] <carlosb78> any ideas where I could find more info?
[17:53] <llutz> maxagaz_: looks ok, check logs for errors (/var/log/....)
[17:53] <greezmunkey> nperry, seriously, I can look it up, jusst thought it may be something quick :/
[17:54] <nperry> greezmunkey: faster timestamping, faster file system checking ,journaling checksums & extents (basically automatic space allocation to avoid fragmentation)
[17:55] <greezmunkey> nperry, apparantly the quick answer (based on ^that) is just use it :) right!
[17:55] <maxagaz_> llutz, what makes the link between the ad hoc dhcp wifi network i created with network manager and dnsmasq ?
[17:55] <Gibby> How do I check if Ubuntu is seeing me video card?
[17:55] <llutz> maxagaz_: you have to establish the connection manually
[17:55] <nperry> greezmunkey: Yes..
[17:55] <maxagaz_> llutz, from the iphone ?
[17:56] <nperry> I've tested it since jaunty dev cycle
[17:56] <greezmunkey> nperry, arae you pretty familiar with drive mounting?
[17:56] <Travis-42> is it possible to run a command as a user created by "adduser --system" ?
[17:56] <coolcat> hi, what program could I use to play a mp3 file from a command line easily?
[17:56] <soopos> Can you use two Xs by at two different Upstart's run levels in Ubuntu?
[17:56] <nperry> greezmunkey: as in, fstab?
[17:57] <p3rror> how can i unchroot
[17:57] <Jamed> coolcat: try moc. its a bit overkill if you just want to play a single file but its easy
[17:57] <nperry> carlosb78: I followed this tutorial for my sx400, http://blog.bluemonki.net/2009/03/28/ubuntu-epson-sx400-all-in-one-making-it-work/
[17:57] <docmax> on my multimonitor system notification bar doesnt work on 2nd monitor
[17:58] <greezmunkey> nperry, guess so, I am setting up a desktop machine as we speak with the goal of installing a scsi drive from another system. I need to "poke" around in that filesystem. It's a sysV, but that's about all I know about it right now.
[17:58] <llutz> maxagaz_: set linux to ad-hoc, then your iphone too, it should connect then
[17:59] <UbuntuUser> anyone know why a webcam would work, then all of a sudden stop working?
[17:59] <Travis-42> is it possible to run a command as a user that has the shell /bin/false set?
[17:59] <nperry> greezmunkey: Sorry not to sure of that one! Maybe somone else in here will know
[17:59] <p3rror> can you help
[18:00] <Jamed> Travis-42: bo
[18:00] <Jamed> Travis-42: no
[18:00] <nperry> Travis-42: Nope :)
[18:00] <llutz> maxagaz_: "sudo iwconfig ethX mode Ad-Hoc essid "myadhocnet" enc off"
[18:00] <llutz> maxagaz_: on iphone try to connect "myadhocnet"
[18:00] <Travis-42> heh,ok thanks Jamed and nperry
[18:01] <greezmunkey> nperry, cool. I think I know what to do, but I thought I'd live here for a while in case I needed a hand. Thanks for the ext4 info, I'll check into it further on my own.
[18:01] <nperry> greezmunkey: Good luck with it anyhow :D
[18:01] <konbon> I have wicd installed in the Ubuntu 9.10, in order to get wireless internet. I went to the Preferences to connect to my router, but it does not show any wifi connection points at all. I know the wifi is working because im using it on this windows install right now. Any help with that would be much appreciated.
[18:01] <enzotib> Travis-42: with sudo you can
[18:02] <Gibby> I just intalled a 3rd video card, I can I tell if Ubunut is seeing it?
[18:02] <Travis-42> enzotib: how? I'm trying to run it with sudo: "sudo -H -u system-user testcommand"
[18:02] <nperry> Gibby: lspci
[18:02] <greezmunkey> nperry, well I should have this desktop system installed here in a bit, if your still here I'll update you.

[18:03] <Gibby> bummer not seeing it, I think it is my bios though
[18:04] <sp1r1t> help? :(
[18:04] <Travis-42> enzotib: strange, you're right, I wonder why it doesn't for this other system user
[18:05] <konbon> k, guess not :/
[18:05] <konbon> is there an actuall ubuntu help channel besides this one?
[18:07] <maxagaz_> llutz, whi this command => sudo iwconfig eth1 mode Ad-Hoc essid "myadhocnet" enc off, I can't see the network from my iphone, not connect to it by just giving its name
[18:08] <_Lucretia_> hi, does the latest version of ubuntu have working php debs? I mean, with fixed imajick libs, etc?
[18:08] <sp1r1t> yo
[18:09] <^workman^> sp1r1t: how did you install xmms
[18:10] <jenda> Is there a way to get Flash to work in Firefox/Ubuntu? I always think I have it down, but sooner or later, there is a video that just won't play. E.g., currently, youtube works just fine. However, when I try videos from the Onion (e.g. http://www.theonion.com/content/video/ultra_realistic_modern_warfare ), it is just a black rectangle.
[18:10] <sp1r1t> ^workman^: i didn't install xmms
[18:10] <sp1r1t> i want to
[18:10] <sp1r1t> but when i do apt-get ins.. . xmms
[18:10] <sp1r1t> i get error
[18:11] <sp1r1t> xmms: Depends: libgtk1.2 (>= 1.2.10-4) but it is not installable
[18:11] <^workman^> sp1r1t: from the gui package installer in 9.10 search for xmms should come back with gxmms2. install that
[18:11] <sp1r1t> gonna try now
[18:11] <^workman^> sp1r1t: I just installed it on my 64bit system without issue
[18:11] <sp1r1t> :|
[18:11] <Alan502> Hi, is it possible to let my computer connect to the internet, and other computers connect to the internet throught it? Just like in windows; how is this done in ubuntu?
[18:11] <sp1r1t> i'm missing libgtk1.2
[18:12] <^workman^> sp1r1t: ok at a shell run: sudo apt-cache search gtk* | more and find the package you need, then run sudo apt-get install package-name
[18:12] <zotikos> this seems a bit chaotic... do I just type my question out in the open?
[18:13] <Pici> !ask | zotikos (
[18:13] <soopos> I have 2 Ubuntu's at two run levels. One is crashing and taking all my memory. How can you kill the crashing Ubuntu in the second Ubuntu?
[18:13] <^workman^> !ask | zotikos
[18:13] <llutz> maxagaz_: how did you configure your ad-hoc network before? iwconfig ... does that
[18:13] <Alan502> Hi, is it possible to let my computer connect to the internet, and other computers connect to the internet throught it? Just like in windows; how is this done in ubuntu?
[18:13] <gnubie> jenda;  you running 64bit karmic?
[18:14] <nibbler> Alan502, yep, thats very easy.
[18:14] <Alan502> ^workman^: i also have my 64 bit system since today morning ^_^
[18:14] <Alan502> nibbler: how is it done?
[18:14] <maxagaz_> llutz, i used network-manager, but i removed what n-m created before using iwconfig
[18:15] <zotikos> I have a Wacom Graphire2 tablet. xinput and xidump recognize it, but it is not listed in xorg.conf or for the xsetwacom command. How can I set it to relative mode?
[18:15] <nibbler> Alan502, its called ipmasquerading. i'll privately paste you my iptables script. its not perfect, and there might be easier solutions out there, but it works
[18:15] <jenda> gnubie: nope, 32 and restricted-extras is installed, all up
[18:15] <jenda> -to-date
[18:15] <Alan502> ok, thanks, nibbler :)
[18:16] <jensm1> hi
[18:16] <trism> jenda: unfortunately, some flash apps with just not work in the linux version of flash, likely a combination of vendors not testing their apps in the linux version and the linux version not completely implementing all the features (or just being buggy)
[18:16] <jensm1> flan_suse: usb creator did not work on win. so I found http://www.linuxliveusb.com/ and now I am booting it as I type
[18:17] <jenda> trism: oh well, so I was afraid :) thanks. (BTW, I'm pretty sure it used to work before)
[18:17] <gnubie> jenda;  I had a setup link that works for the 64, runs your link fine.  I have not tried to get 32 going.
[18:17] <nibbler> Alan502, http://nopaste.info/d627f18878.html  this basically does the trick. it clears your local firewall, forbids  forwarding and incoming connections and then establshes forwarding/masquerading
[18:18] <trism> jenda: it might have, it looks like they are using a flex version now, they may have recently updated their player
[18:18] <Alan502> nibbler: thanks :) ill try it now and see what i get
[18:18] <nibbler> Alan502, *not* perfect, maybe add "iptables -I INPUT -s localhost -j ACCEPT"
[18:18] <nibbler> i'm gone, good luck
[18:18] <jenda> trism: ok, thanks
[18:18] <zotikos> I have a Wacom Graphire2 tablet. xinput and xidump recognize it, but it is not listed in xorg.conf or for the xsetwacom command. How can I set it to relative mode?
[18:19] <trism> jenda: although, actually, I just got it to work, are you using noscript?
[18:19] <camrockz> i recommend the 64 bit version of adobe flash.. just chuck the .so file in a folder called plugins in the .mozilla folder on your user directory
[18:19] <flan_suse> jensm1, glad to hear the good news!
[18:19] <leaf-sheep> !info bridge-utils | Alan502
[18:19] <leaf-sheep> Alan502: You could install that and set up the network using gnome-network-manager.
[18:20] <greezmunkey> Alan502, are you working to get internet sharing up?
[18:20] <Alan502> leaf-sheep: sounds easier, ill try it before iptables

[18:26] <Bookman> leaf-sheep, Thanks!  I did not know that.
[18:26] <jensm1> ^workman^ and what should I put in mount point?
[18:26] <Fandekasp> Now my parents are online, and I've asked them to open my session on the server. But nothing has changed, I can't ping my server (request timeout)
[18:26] <^workman^> jensm1: well, you will need a root partition and swap space.... so ext4 for / which is the root partition
[18:26] <Fandekasp> And a "/etc/init.d/ssh status" say that my ssh is running
[18:27] <Fandekasp> Do you know where is the problem ?
[18:27] <Fandekasp> Thank you in advance for your help
[18:27] <greezmunkey> Fandekasp, you have a static IP address?
[18:27] <Pholious> how do I install dot net with 'sh winetricks' ? it says I need a license?
[18:28] <Pholious> seems curse client requires dot net
[18:28] <Fandekasp> greezmunkey : for the server, a static IP address in local, and I use dyndns for the internet ip . My connexion worked fine for months
[18:28] <Gaming4JC> Pholious: try #winehq? Also, I think you do need a Windows OEM key to use some of windows components...
[18:29] <Pholious> Gaming4JC, ahh ty, I tried #wine and got kicked, invite-only :D

[18:31] <UbuntuUser> anyone tried enlightenment? do the common apps work with it the way they do gnome/xfce/kde?
[18:31] <leaf-sheep> Alan502: Right-click on Network Notification, Edit Connection. Make/Add a new profile and name it "Bridge" or something. Look in IPv4 Setting and set it to "Shared to Another Computer" and see if that works.
[18:31] <iNdex> Hello, anyone experiencing the Mod4/windows key combination(such as Windows+D) responding only after several trials?
[18:31] <greezmunkey> Gaming4JC, whoa, that is wierd. Maybe they broke something, donno.
[18:32] <greezmunkey> Gaming4JC, I mean if Yahoo works, then I wouldn't worry about it, unless you own google stock :)
[18:32] <leaf-sheep> Gaming4JC: Looks like Firefox Addon... that's causing this.
[18:32] <Gaming4JC> greezmunkey: I thought the same thing but it's not doing it on my Windows PC...
[18:32] <carlosb78> I' still can't run the pipslite package, but I was able to download iscan and install it successfully which enabled me to run sudo xsane

I am booting up from usb Ubunto net book remix, and when start to install it says "The installer needs to commit changes to partition tablöes but cannot do so becasuse partitions on the following mount points could not be unmounted:     /cdrom    Please close any applications using these mount points
[18:33] <leaf-sheep> Gaming4JC: What is that green-ring symbol thing?
[18:33] <Gaming4JC> leaf-sheep: Hmm.. any idea what addon it might be? I've used WebOfTrust, NoScript, and Ghostery for years...
[18:33] <jensm1> what should I do?
[18:33] <Gaming4JC> leaf-sheep: that's MyWOT (Web of Trust)
[18:33] <Gaming4JC> tells if a site is bad
[18:33] <Gaming4JC> much like McAffe Site advisor
[18:33] <greezmunkey> Gaming4JC, Like I said...Websites seem to work a bit differantly on FF than IE anyway.
[18:33] <leaf-sheep> Gaming4JC: Disable it and see if the problem still exists.
[18:34] <Gaming4JC> leaf-sheep: Ok I'll try that, thanks. :)
[18:34] <^workman^> jensm1: hmm, so your booting from cd? and it says it can't mount the cd?
[18:34] <jensm1> ^workman^: nope mounting from usb
[18:34] <leaf-sheep> Gaming4JC: In fact, disable all extensions for starters.  We had somebody in here complaining about lag in Internet or web-based mails until he/she disable the extensions.
[18:34] <^workman^> jensm1: but it's asking to mount /cdrom?
[18:35] <^workman^> jensm1: strange. how'd you create the live usb?
[18:35]  * Gaming4JC is also going to run BleachBit to clean out them temporary files. (just in case) ^_^
[18:35] <jensm1> ^workman^: yesterday I used unetbootng to make a fake cd to boot from on harddrive, but whgen I tryied toi install it there is said the same thing
[18:35] <jensm1> http://www.linuxliveusb.com/
[18:35] <greezmunkey> leaf-sheep, where in FF do you disable extensions?
[18:36] <bondiblueos9> I want to install ubuntu on my powerpc mac but my cd drive is broken
[18:36] <leaf-sheep> greezmunkey: The quickest way would be "firefox -safe-mode"
[18:36] <^workman^> jensm1: hmm, never used that before. I use unetbootin or the usb creator in ubuntu
[18:36] <greezmunkey> leaf-sheep, hmm, cool I'll remember that for future reference, thanks :)
[18:37] <Gaming4JC> leaf-sheep: After disabling all addons I am getting the search results back. Looks like an add-on gone wrong. I'll try and narrow it down here in a bit. Thanks btw :D
[18:37] <foey> Hello, I'm having some issues mounting a ntfs hard drive. Its listed as sdc1 and i've added it to fstab and created a folder - /media/sdc1 . however when I try and mount it, it displays - failed to access volume, /dev/sdc1 no such file or directory
[18:37] <greezmunkey> leaf-sheep, you are the man!
[18:37] <leaf-sheep> Gaming4JC: No problem. Perhaps your profile went borked. :(
[18:37] <jensm1> ŵorkman^ unetbootin didnt make the usb bootable and usb creator did not work in win
[18:38] <jenda> trism: good tip - disabling adblock plus made it work, despite the fact that it wasn't among the blocked items. Odd, but efficient.
[18:38] <^workman^> foey: have you tried mounting before adding it to fstab?
[18:38] <foey> ^workman^ yeh, it then says does not exist in fstab.
[18:38] <jensm1> ^Workman^: I try to erase all my partitions now and make new ones. how big should swap be?
[18:39] <aeon-ltd> ;
[18:39] <^workman^> jensm1: swap should be 2x your memory size
[18:40] <Gaming4JC> leaf-sheep, greezmunkey: I figured it out! AdblockPlus is the culprit. Seems one of the filters I got running on it is blocking most of google.com lol. I went ahead and disabled it and it's working fine with the remaining addons. Thanks guys. ^_^
[18:40] <mMezquitale> foey, use UUID when mounting the hard drive in fstab
[18:40] <^workman^> foey: so your running : mount -t ntfs /dev/sdc1 /mountpoint
[18:40] <^workman^> foey: and it complains about not being in fstab??
[18:40] <qe2eqe> is there a neat way to make rm mean "rm -v"
[18:40] <jensm1> swap should be logical huh`???
[18:41] <leaf-sheep> Gaming4JC: Heh. You're running lot of security stuffs based on the photo. :)
[18:41] <aeon-ltd> ge2eqe: create an alias
[18:41] <leaf-sheep> qe2eqe: Alias.
[18:41] <^workman^> jensm1: yes... leave at the defaults
[18:41] <Gaming4JC> leaf-sheep: lol yes, I get hacked so much lately (even if mostly on Windows) I decided to go partially paranoid with security add-ons. :P
[18:42] <qe2eqe> leaf-sheep superthanks
[18:42] <leaf-sheep> qe2eqe: "nano ~/.bashrc" and look for information on aliases. You'll see few examples there and add the new one to your liking.  You also can use .bash_aliases.
[18:42] <^workman^> qe2eqe: yes, make an alias in ~/.bashrc : alias rm='rm -v'
[18:42] <aeon-ltd> Gaming4JC: hacked?
[18:42] <^workman^> qe2eqe: then type source ~/.bashrc
[18:42] <^workman^> qe2eqe: then list the aliases by typing alias
[18:42] <dbugger> Hey guys! Can someone help me? I want to configure postfix with my gmail account, but I dont know how..
[18:43] <mr_engineer> hi, now niether compiz or nautilus are starting up in my system... should they be in the .config/autostart dir? They are not there
[18:43] <foey> ^workman^ : hey sorry for the late reply. yeh it complains if its no in fstab, but when i do place it in there it complains about no finding the dev.
[18:43] <Gaming4JC> aeon-ltd: To a degree yes, viruses and browser exploits mostly. Also some heavey port scanning as of late.
[18:43] <grawity> mr_engineer: AFAIK, windowmanager and filemanager are in GNOME's "required components" list, which means they will always be autostarted (and auto-restarted).
[18:44] <qe2eqe> leaf-sheep, ^workman^ thanks a bunch!
[18:44] <grawity> dbugger: For outgoing mail?
[18:44] <akiraaaaaa> hello, wich is the best post script editor avaliable for linux?
[18:44] <mr_engineer> grawity, well, they're not starting up lol, what could be causing the problem?
[18:44] <^workman^> foey: what does fdisk -l report? use pastebin.com and send me the link
[18:44] <^workman^> qe2eqe: np
[18:44] <iceroot> !best | akiraaaaaa
[18:44] <soreau> mr_engineer: Compiz should be set to auto start by setting anything other than None in Sys>Prefs>Appearance>Visual Effects
[18:44] <mMezquitale> foey, first let's find out what you have, use paste bin and paste the link to this command: "sudo fdisk -l"
[18:44] <dbugger> Yes. I'm trying to get PHP to send mails.
[18:44] <grawity> mr_engineer: What if you start one of them manually?
[18:44] <Wazzzaaa> akiraaaaaa: I think that's a matter of taste
[18:44] <akiraaaaaa> well a good one to try
[18:44] <dbugger> grawity,  Yes. I'm trying to get PHP to send mails.
[18:44] <mr_engineer> grawity, i can
[18:44] <tdn> Can I install Ubuntu Netbook Remix from an SD card on my Lenovo S10?
[18:44] <foey> ^workman^ : ok will do, give me two secs -thanks guys
[18:44] <iceroot> akiraaaaaa: viim
[18:45] <grawity> dbugger: Is that a server, or your own personal computer?
[18:45] <iceroot> akiraaaaaa: vim
[18:45] <mr_engineer> grawity, its not the ideal thing though
[18:45] <akiraaaaaa> vim improved?
[18:45] <mMezquitale> foey, sorry i meant to say use paste bin to paste the output of the command: "sudo fdisk -l"
[18:45] <^workman^> foey: np
[18:45] <^workman^> foey: I'll be here... =)
[18:45] <dbugger> grawity, Im doing it with my personal computer.
[18:45] <mistergibson> Is there a way for Network Settings and Network Manager to get along?
[18:45] <meero_> is ubuntu remix faster on older notebook , than standart ubuntu?
[18:46] <Alan502> leaf-sheep: i already configured what you told me on this computer, now, what should i configure on the other one?
[18:46] <grawity> dbugger: Then maybe esmtp will be better for you? Personal computers usually don't need to handle incoming email, so esmtp is lighter and easier to config.
[18:46] <^workman^> meero: remix is for netbooks, not notebooks =)
[18:46] <maco> meero_: not really. it has a more graphics intensive ui
[18:46] <maco> meero_: you probably want xubuntu
[18:46] <Travis-42> if a parent directory has chmod 600, it doesn't matter if a child directory is set to 666, it still can't be accessed, right?
[18:46]  * grawity opens his postfix config.
[18:46] <^workman^> Travis-42: correct
[18:46] <dbugger> grawity, would you help me configure it? :(
[18:46] <Alan502> ^workman^: have you tried kubuntu netbook remix?
[18:46] <foey> ^workman^ : http://pastebin.com/m1eaaae05 - btw - ive already added sda which works perfectly.
[18:46] <Travis-42> ok thanks ^workman^ :-)
[18:47] <grawity> Travis-42: 6 only gives read/write permissions, but not execute. Which means, the directory will _never_ be accessible.
[18:47] <leaf-sheep> Alan502: None. You should plug it in.
[18:47] <aeon-ltd> meero_:if you want an OS for an old notebook just google for lightweight kinux distros
[18:47] <grawity> Travis-42: So, you sure you didn't mean 700 and 777?
[18:47] <grawity> dbugger: esmtp or postfix?
[18:47] <Travis-42> grawity: err, yes that's what I meant :-)
[18:47] <^workman^> Alan502: no srry, I don't own a netbook..... wanna donate to my netbook fund =)
[18:47] <Alan502> leaf-sheep: let me check if there is something wrong with the physical connection then...
[18:47] <^workman^> np Travis
[18:47] <dbugger> grawity, whatever you prefer. I just want it to work.
[18:47] <grawity> Travis-42: Anyway, for a directory to be accessed, you must have +x perms for all its parents.
[18:48] <Travis-42> grawity: ok, that's what I was making sure. thank you :-)
[18:48] <leaf-sheep> Alan502: The computer have two ethernet cards?
[18:48] <Alan502> leaf-sheep: both computers have their respective ethernet cards
[18:49] <^workman^> foey: what happens when you run fdisk /dev/sdc? any other errors?
[18:49] <Alan502> leaf-sheep: not sure if this one has two tho
[18:49] <Alan502> leaf-sheep: do i need two cards?
[18:49] <meero_> is ubuntu remix faster on older notebook , than standart ubuntu?
[18:49] <leaf-sheep> Alan502: What are you exactly trying to do? You wanted a computer to connect to the Internet and the other computer to connect to the computer (and still get Internet), right?
[18:49] <foey> ^workman^ : Unable to open /dev/sdc1
[18:50] <jensm1> ^Workman^: I still get the /cdrom error!?
[18:50] <jensm1> I dont eaven have a CDrom
[18:50] <^workman^> foey: don't fdisk /dev/sdc1 just /dev/sdc
[18:50] <Alan502> leaf-sheep: yes, this computer is connected to the internet through a usb 3g modem
[18:50] <^workman^> jensm1: hmm
[18:50] <aeon-ltd> meero_: yes, but it seems pointless don't you think to have a "crippled" OS on a notebook
[18:50] <^workman^> jensm1: do you have a cdrom? or is this a netbook?
[18:50] <foey> ^workman^ : No such file or directory
[18:51] <jensm1> ^Workman^: netbook
[18:51] <Alan502> i want both computers to get internet, i have already made a network between them with a router and ethernet cables
[18:51] <leaf-sheep> Alan502: What about the other computer?
[18:51] <^workman^> foey: do : ls -al /dev | grep sd*
[18:51] <dbugger> grawity, whatever you prefer. I just want it to work.
[18:51] <Alan502> leaf-sheep: it only has one ethernet card too
[18:51] <grawity> dbugger: writing the postfix part now, will give a link soon.
[18:51] <^workman^> jensm1: do you have another computer you can run unetbootin on? does it have a cdrom?
[18:52] <dbugger> grawity, thanks :)
[18:52] <jensm1> ^Workman^:  Yes and Yes
[18:52] <aeon-ltd> :part
[18:52] <leaf-sheep> Alan502: I see. The computer is connected to modem via ethernet cable or is that USB as you said?  If that's USB, then you could connect both computers using ethernet cable.
[18:52] <jensm1> ^Workman^: I got one desktop Pc win xp and one macbook
[18:52] <foey> ^workman^ : ill paste bin it, 2 secs
[18:52] <funkycat90210> I have postgres and I see lots of disk activity, I think it's postgres doing the disk activity, not sure, how do I look at the %IO per process?
[18:52] <grawity> dbugger: Btw, how are you running the php script? As a webpage or as a shellscript?
[18:52] <^workman^> foey: ok
[18:52] <vsMS> Hi! Can someone tell me how to test transfer rates for usb storage devices?
[18:52] <vsMS> I know bonnie++
[18:52] <llutz> foey: "sudo fdisk -l" "ls -l /dev/sd*"
[18:52] <dbugger> grawity, as a webpage
[18:53] <meero_> aeon-: why crippled :-)?
[18:53] <vsMS> and hdparm
[18:53] <Da_Kr0n> how do i get to config grub to boot ubuntu i reinstalled it to get grub> when booting
[18:53] <foey> ^workman^ : http://pastebin.com/m68c14a80
[18:53] <vsMS> but hdparm is only to test read transfer rate
[18:53] <tdn> How do I install Ubuntu Netbook Remix from SD-card?
[18:53] <Da_Kr0n> isit update-grub?
[18:53] <Alan502> yes, it is usb and it is connected by ethernet cable to the other computer, leaf-sheep
[18:53] <fjgaros> irchispano
[18:53] <aeon-ltd> meero_: how old is this notebook btw, because what most people deem as old are still quite capable
[18:53] <meero_> aeon-ltd: why do u thing crippled??
[18:53] <ivze> vsMS, dd if=/dev/zero of=/media/......../dumpfile.dat
[18:54] <meero_> aeon-ltd: is about 7-9 years old
[18:54] <ivze> vsMS, then ctrl+c it, and it'll show you data transfer rate
[18:54] <leaf-sheep> Alan502: Okay. Is the Network Manager running on the new profile (with custom shared linking)?
[18:54] <^workman^> foey: your sdc drive isn't being seen at all. Is it plugged in?; what does dmesg report? any errors regarding your other 250GB drive?
[18:54] <^workman^> jensm1: does the windows pc have the ubuntu ISO on it?
[18:54] <aeon-ltd> meero_: crippled because you want to use a OS made specifically for low spec (eee pc 800mhz), 7-9 pentium 2/3?
[18:55] <jensm1> ^Workman^:  Yes
[18:55] <mistergibson> anyone feel like hand holding on networking: how to get Network Settings panel and Network Manager playing nice?
[18:55] <foey> ^workman^ : Its plugged in, its detected on the sata controller card. also its listed in fdisk -l
[18:55] <^workman^> jensm1: if so, download unetbootin, and create a live usb with it
[18:55] <^workman^> !unetbootin | jensm1
[18:55] <Alan502> leaf-sheep: yes i have alredy selected the "bridge" connection instead of auto eth0
[18:55] <^workman^> foey: yea, I know.... very strange.
[18:55] <meero_> aeon-ltd: ok, so what would u use in my case? ubuntu or ubuntu remix? notebook is 512mb ram, P4
[18:56] <bondiblueos9> ubottu, any idea how to make a USB stick for powerpc?
[18:56] <Alan502> leaf-sheep: wait, it seems that i CAN get internet in the other computer, but it is quite slow; it took two minutes to load google
[18:56] <leaf-sheep> Alan502: It does not work? It have been awhile for me but I know it was *that* easy.
[18:56] <Guest66241> is there any way to mount a copied /dev/sda file on another system?
[18:56] <jensm1> ^Workman^:  ok
[18:56] <ManDay> What package do I need to have a configurable login screen (or rather: a very simple one where you only type name and password). i thought gdm would offer an extremly simple screen in its configuration but it doesnt
[18:56] <Alan502> leaf-sheep: it seems it is, but there might be something blocking it or similar
[18:56] <^workman^> !unetbootin | bondiblueos9
[18:56] <leaf-sheep> Alan502: Gotcha. Maybe firewall/
[18:56] <ManDay> the one i used to have was just username then password
[18:56] <mMezquitale> foey, did you just recently install the SATA controller card?
[18:56] <aeon-ltd> meero_: p4 impossible by the way from memory it was introduced in 03/04, also whats the clock speed?
[18:56] <ManDay> just a small popup
[18:57] <Dr_Willis> Guest66241:  clarify what you mean. You can mount drive images  if thats what you have.
[18:57] <foey> ^workman^ : no, the main / ubuntu-server installation is on the same controller card. however ive just added the drive along side the / drive.
[18:57] <Dr_Willis> !loop | Guest66241
[18:57] <Alan502> leaf-sheep: its getting faster now, i think it just took a while for the connections to set up correctly; thanks man :) i appreciate your help
[18:57] <leaf-sheep> Alan502: No problem! I remember I was able to play Xbox360 off it... barely. :)
[18:57] <Guest66241> i copied the file /dev/sda and now want to mount it on anotjer system
[18:58] <Dr_Willis> Guest66241:  somthing similer to  'sudo mount -o loop fileimage.img -t filesystem /media/imagemountpoint
[18:58] <meero_> aeon-ltd: im not sure, is my mothers notebook, she is using xp now, full of bullshi-ware , i want to change to ubuntu, but not sure what version
[18:58] <maco> Guest66241: /dev/sda isnt a disk image. its a device node.
[18:58] <^workman^> foey: that shouldn't be an issue, thats how most of my servers are setup. only thing is, I don't have a drive with ntfs on them in my systems
[18:58] <Guest66241> is it possible to mount it?
[18:58] <maco> Guest66241: /dev/ is virtual. nothing in it is actaully a file
[18:58] <mMezquitale> anyone here uses a netbook?  I'm trying to find out a good usb wireless mouse for a netbook that will work with uNr out of the box?
[18:58] <Alan502> leaf-sheep: haha, at least is enough to surf and download some packages; brb mom calling for dinner. Cya!
[18:58] <^workman^> foey: Is the ntfs disk bootable?
[18:58] <Dr_Willis> Guest66241:  if you made a Image of a hard drive to a file... you can..   your use of /dev/sda is confuseing.
[18:58] <VirusTB> hi
[18:58] <Guest66241> so why is it some gb big?
[18:59] <jensm1> ^Workman^: Im sorry, I udid that before with unetbootin, but it DINT make it bootable.
[18:59] <Da_Kr0n> isit update-grub reports can not find device for /
[18:59] <arooni__> seems like copy/paste is not working normally on karmic.  when i copy with control + c, it doesnt pick up what i copy some times, specifically in google chrome.
[18:59] <maco> Guest66241: you could dd from /dev/sda into a (very large) file. so if /dev/sda is a 250GB hard drive you could dd it to a 250GB file on your 500GB hard drive..
[18:59] <Dr_Willis> Guest66241:  if you want to mount /dev/sda1 somewhere you can do that
[18:59] <jensm1> ^Workman^: so I wanna make sure that I do all things right
[18:59] <trijntje> mMezquitale, as far as i know there are no mouse-issues with ubuntu
[18:59] <greezmunkey> Alan502, /dev/clutch = in && /dev/transmission -shift && /dev/clutch = out
[18:59] <^workman^> jensm1: how about booting your win pc with a live ubuntu cd, and using the usb cd creator?
[18:59] <aeon-ltd> meero_: depending on your linux experience i would reccommend (from a lot of experience to least) arch linux, debian, crunchbang, xubuntu, ubuntu(but strip a lot of useless software out)
[19:00] <foey> ^workman^ : er..good question. i think it may of had vista on at one point. Its got quite a few files which I want to access via my linux-server. I could just plug it in another machine --but not letting this get the best of me! besides i want to keep the hd in the machine
[19:00] <^workman^> aeon-ltd: don't forget mint linux
[19:00] <Nixot> Grrrr
[19:00] <Nixot> after I upgraded from hardy to intrepid...
[19:00] <foey> ^workman^ : the 120gb is a ide drive which I added recently, that mounted ok once I added to fstab.
[19:00] <Nixot> the sound is out of sync in my games
[19:00] <VirusTB> Hello friends!
[19:00] <trijntje> !enter | Nixot
[19:00] <mMezquitale> trijntje, you dont know until you encounter them LoL  I was hoping someone that has a wireless mouse with their netbook would let me know what theyre using but thanks either way
[19:01] <foey> ^workman^ : ...but i fdisk'd that drive in ext3
[19:01] <^workman^> foey: wonder if the harddrive is having issues?
[19:01] <meero_> aeon-ltd: im quite familiar with ubuntu, but never used other distros. and if u are forced to decide between ubuntu, and remix, what whould u choose
[19:01] <Nixot> after I upgraded from hardy to intrepid the sound is out of sync in my games and I can't figure out how to change the sound buffer...
[19:01] <Nixot> or downgrade to hardy again...
[19:01] <foey> ^workman^ : it shouldnt be, its only come out of my main pc recently - it was only a storage drive. it's fine in other pcs
[19:01] <iceroot> Nixot: wine? then look at abbdb
[19:01] <trijntje> mMezquitale, what I'm saying is that you are the first to ask about a suported usb-mouse. So that makes me think no-one has problems with their mouse ;)
[19:01] <konbon> anyone know how to get a "Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN" to work on wicd in ubuntu 9.10 ?
[19:02] <iceroot> !broadcom | konbon
[19:02] <VirusTB> I got an issue when I  do "Sudo apt-get update"  ........?? An "GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net karmic Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY<PHONE_NUMBER>C248F7
[19:02] <VirusTB>  "  ?/
[19:02] <konbon> Thanks :)
[19:02] <aeon-ltd> meero_: ubuntu butu try and lighten it up a little, maybe change gnome+metacity to openbox, or choose lighter software and remove everything you don't or will never need
[19:02] <^workman^> foey: I'd go back to basics. I'd leave the main ubuntu disk in, and only have the ntfs disk, nothing else. Then see what happens.
[19:02] <mistergibson> should I choose one or the other of 'Gnome Network Settings' or 'Network Manager' ? it appears that they fight
[19:02] <llutz> VirusTB: get the key from ppa, add it
[19:02] <^workman^> foey: strip it down, to find the issue
[19:02] <VirusTB> llutz,  how do I do that may I ask?
[19:02] <trijntje> Nixot, are you sure it is a sound buffer problem? what about movies?
[19:02] <ManDay> What package do I need to have a configurable login screen (or rather: a very simple one where you only type name and password). i thought gdm would offer an extremly simple screen in its configuration but it doesnt
[19:02] <grawity> dbugger: Okay,  http://sprunge.us/JUUY - scripted!
[19:03] <meero_> aeon-ltd: ok, thanx ill try
[19:03] <Nixot> iceroot: what is abbdb?
[19:03] <Nixot> and what about wine?
[19:03] <foey> ^workman^ : ok, i may just resort to putting the files on another drive and fdisk'ing in ext3
[19:03] <iceroot> !appdb | Nixot
[19:03] <llutz> VirusTB: visit ppa-site, load the key
[19:03] <dbugger> grawity, wow, that is awesome!
[19:03] <iceroot> Nixot: playing games with wine or directly?
[19:03] <iceroot> !wine | Nixot
[19:03] <grawity> dbugger: And  http://sprunge.us/GbfZ for esmtp - this one is just instructions, simple enough.
[19:03] <Nixot> trijntje: youtube or other?
[19:03] <mistergibson> ! Network Settings
[19:03] <^workman^> msg foey: personally, I can't stand using ntfs with linux.... I've never had good luck with it
[19:03] <Nixot> iceroot: directly
[19:03] <foey> ^workman^ : thanks for your help, very helpful :-)
[19:03] <grawity> dbugger: Oh, if you chose postfix, you'll need to run my script with "sudo".
[19:04] <mMezquitale> trijntje, i have a problem with my current mouse, it's USB, the middle scroll wheel doesnt work LoL  with new hardware you most always have issues
[19:04] <^workman^> foey: np man, sorry I could be more help!
[19:04] <dbugger> grawity, Im gonna try the script for psotfix, be rightback
[19:04] <ulrich> xD
[19:04] <foey> ^workman^ : yeh im begning to think that too. Much easier with ext3! thanks man
[19:04] <trijntje> Nixot, both ;) I would think it could be wine related, If it is your sound vids should have the same problem
[19:04] <^workman^> foey: anytime...
[19:04] <ulrich> Hi
[19:04] <^workman^> !hi | ulrich
[19:04] <trijntje> mMezquitale, try xev | grep -i button in a terminal
[19:04] <ulrich> XD
[19:05] <alesan> hi how do I ask the system to renew the dhcp address?
[19:05] <konbon> lol
[19:05] <ulrich> How are u
[19:05] <konbon> politely
[19:05] <VirusTB> llutz,  :S lost here googling for this ppa key :S
[19:05] <ulrich> IM GAY!!
[19:05] <grawity> alesan: 'sudo dhclient <interface>' -- where <interface> is most probably eth0
[19:05] <ulrich> XD
[19:05] <alesan> something in windows you do ipconfig /renew
[19:05] <^workman^> alesan: dhclient eth0 ?
[19:05] <sdwrage> ...
[19:05] <llutz> alesan: sudo dhclient ethX
[19:05] <grawity> ulrich: "gay" as in "happy"? /offtopic
[19:05] <ManDay> can anyone tell me what xdm looks like?
[19:05] <konbon> he left
[19:06] <sdwrage> grawity, everything here is "offtopic"
[19:06] <dbugger> grawity, oh it worked!!! :O
[19:06] <grawity> dbugger: Does it send mails?
[19:06] <motorv> please help me, I'm running karmic koala, and I can't get the text console font right .
[19:06] <VirusTB> !ot |ulrich
[19:06] <dbugger> grawity, I was gonna see 2012 tonite, but im so amazed right now, it will have to be postponed! :OOO
[19:07] <Jahithber> how can i play .swf files?:)
[19:07] <dbugger> grawity, worked flawlessly
[19:07] <mistergibson> !Network Manager
[19:07] <dbugger> Jahithber,  drag them to your browser
[19:07] <grawity> dbugger: oh, btw. I forgot to tell you to put your actual password into the script...
[19:07] <^workman^> !swf | Jahithber
[19:07] <mistergibson> !NetworkSettings
[19:07] <dbugger> grawity, I did, ;)
[19:07] <^workman^> !flash | Jahithber
[19:07] <Jahithber> but in browser i cant scroll them or stop
[19:07] <motorv> console-setup seems to be the intended way to configure this, but f.i. accented letters appear always bad
[19:07] <mistergibson> !Network Settings
[19:07] <trijntje> !details | motorv
[19:07] <Jahithber> in vlc it doesnt workd:(
[19:07] <dbugger> Jahithber, swf are not meant to be scrolled...
[19:07] <alesan> how can I have dhclient "forget" its preferred ip that is requested to the dhcp server?
[19:07] <grawity> dbugger: Good :]
[19:08] <VirusTB> llutz,  how do i even find the key?
[19:08] <dbugger> grawity, thanks man. Im keeping this script for eternity
[19:08] <grawity> alesan: dhclient --help
[19:08] <llutz> VirusTB: usually its shown on the ppa-site
[19:08] <ManDay> can anyone tell me what xdm looks like?
[19:08] <^workman^> Jahithber: by default doesn't play swf files. you either need a plugin or you need a proper swf flash player... do a google search for "linux swf players"
[19:08] <llutz> ManDay: like a login-manager, simply working
[19:09] <alesan> grawity, so do you discourage a google search? what is best?
[19:09] <^workman^> ManDay: it looks boring =)
[19:09] <Jahithber> my flash is working in browser :) but i want to make it work in vlc player :)
[19:09] <VirusTB> llutz,  ok but i dont know what PPA i am searching or :S
[19:09] <VirusTB> for8
[19:09] <ManDay> good, i like boring
[19:09] <ManDay> does it offer some sort of configuration?
[19:09] <^workman^> !vlc | Jahithber
[19:09] <grawity> alesan: Whichever you prefer...
[19:09] <ManDay> what is that login manager that native ubuntu has?
[19:09] <mMezquitale> trijntje, i see activity logged when clicking down on the scroll wheel and when scrolling up and down but it doesnt work on any of my appz like xchat, firefox, nautilus, etc
[19:09] <alesan> grawity, have you even tried dhclient --help?
[19:09] <^workman^> !codecs | Jahithber
[19:09] <syn-ack> ManDay, Um, GDM?
[19:09] <VirusTB> I got an issue when I  do "Sudo apt-get update"  ........?? An "GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net karmic Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY<PHONE_NUMBER>C248F7 grawity
[19:09] <Jahithber> thanks ubottu
[19:09] <grawity> alesan: I have, worked for me.
[19:10] <ManDay> syn-ack, I got gdm installed but it doesnt offer any kind of configuration
[19:10] <syn-ack> ManDay, Such as?
[19:10] <grawity> VirusTB: sudo apt-key adv --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-key<PHONE_NUMBER>C248F7
[19:10] <trijntje> mMezquitale, so your mouse works ;) you just need to map the right button to the right action in ubuntu
[19:10] <syn-ack> ManDay, As in, what are you wanting to do with it?
[19:10] <ManDay> such as what the login screen looks like. the last login manager I HAD installed offered that kinda stuff - like background color, etc
[19:10] <mistergibson> ok, can anyone tell me what the *standard* package that controls network devices and configuration is???
[19:10] <ManDay> I want to simplfiy it
[19:11] <ManDay> the last one i had just had a simple "enter name" and "enter pass" promt
[19:11] <syn-ack> ManDay, I don't see how it could get any more simple.
[19:11] <trism> ManDay: you can actually configure it a bit, but it isn't worth it at this point, because gdm updates reset it to default
[19:11] <ManDay> syn-ack, as it is now it offers a clickable list of users
[19:11] <ManDay> i dont want that
[19:11] <grawity> ManDay: If you want something really simple, use good old text-based login.
[19:11] <ManDay> nah
[19:11] <ManDay> thats too simple
[19:11] <ManDay> :P
[19:11] <ManDay> just tell me the name of a more fancy one
[19:12] <ManDay> (that would probably be the one i am looking for)
[19:12] <mMezquitale> trijntje, the scrolling up and down actually works, sort of, it behaves the way moving behaved for old mice that had hair or were dirty in those mice with a track ball, I'm going to open it up and see if that's the problem, doubt it since ive never seen that problem with optical mice
[19:12] <syn-ack> ManDay, Gnome is in the process of writing an actual config for it so if you want to config it, you're gonna have to go in to gconf et al and config it by hand
[19:12] <ManDay> the one which has little thumbnails to each user
[19:12] <MrKeuner> hello, what is a good key combination to use for meta key in Gnome Desktop Environment if there is no ms button on my keyboard?
[19:12] <trijntje> mMezquitale, but i'm not sure how to do that, on my pc scroll up is button 4, scrol down is button 5, scrol push is button 6
[19:12] <VirusTB> llutz,  ok i got it thanks
[19:12] <grawity> MrKeuner: "Meta" is the Alt key - it's on every keyboard that I have seen.
[19:12] <^workman^> ManDay: try something like this - http://opsamericas.com/?p=531
[19:12] <grawity> MrKeuner: The left Alt key, to be precise.
[19:12] <VirusTB> thanks grawity
[19:12] <syn-ack> grawity, he was thinking that the windows key is the meta key
[19:13] <MrKeuner> grawity, sorry... Super key
[19:13] <macka> hi
[19:13] <zenwryly> How can I find the sector size for a dm-crypt device?  "cryptsetup status" only lists the sector cout.
[19:13] <trijntje> mMezquitale, ah, so thats something completely different ;)
[19:13] <grawity> hm. didn't notice the "ms button" bit.
[19:13] <grawity> MrKeuner: What do you need it for?
[19:14] <MrKeuner> for many things like gnome-do or 3d effects, etc
[19:14] <ManDay> ^workman^, syn-ack the one I used to have with ubuntu offered a lot of stuff an configuration - its the one that ships with a vanilla COMPLETE ubuntu. i installed from a minimal, tho - so what is the login manager called that the average ubuntu user gets displayed?
[19:14] <grawity> MrKeuner: In most places, keyboard shortcuts are changeable... I'm really sure Compiz allows that. And if not, it's possible to remap keys with xmodmap
[19:14] <syn-ack> ManDay, no, its the one that shipped with Juanty
[19:15] <syn-ack> ManDay, and like I said, it GDM
[19:15] <syn-ack> it's
[19:15] <MrKeuner> grawity, rather then changing in every app separately, I would use xmodmap but what may be a good combination to use
[19:15] <ManDay> oh, so it changed THAT much from jaunty to karmic?
[19:15] <ManDay> why did they take away all the fancy config=
[19:15] <ManDay> ?
[19:15] <syn-ack> ManDay, yes.
[19:15] <^workman^> ManDay: GDM? I know what your talking about, I just don't know what the app name is called.
[19:15] <ManDay> can i in any way make it only ask for a user name and pass and not display a list of users etc?
[19:15] <syn-ack> ManDay, Because they are using a newever version of GDM that they've skipped for the past three releases due to that iss
[19:16] <syn-ack> issue, too
[19:16] <ManDay> syn-ack, i dont understand how a newer version of gdm can be that much different from the thing i used to use and you say was gdm
[19:16] <ManDay> its like black and white
[19:16] <llutz> ManDay: its a complete rewrite
[19:16] <syn-ack> ManDay, Ubuntu is hoping this gives Gnome a kick in the pants to do their job
[19:16] <MrKeuner> ms key on keyboards is a showcase for ms dominance, I really wished Ubuntu people saw that and acted accordingly, by not forcing people to buy keyboards with that key
[19:17] <ManDay> hm ok, ill swallow it
[19:17] <grawity> MrKeuner: Remap CapsLock? That one isn't very useful.
[19:17] <ManDay> so no way for only a text field?
[19:17] <ManDay> i will have to choose user from a list?
[19:17] <syn-ack> ManDay, at this point... not really
[19:17] <syn-ack> ManDay, yes
[19:18] <ManDay> :-/ ok thanks guys
[19:18] <^workman^> ManDay: use a default shell logon.... =)
[19:18] <MrKeuner> grawity, i used that earlier, but I need something more practical several times not being able to use caps lock key caused problms
[19:18] <grawity> MrKeuner: (I have remapped it to Compose, very useful for typing things such as ° § ø)
[19:18] <mistergibson> can someone spend a few minutes chatting about Network Manager and its fights with Menu>System>Administration>Network ?
[19:18] <^workman^> ManDay: customize the issue file and viola
[19:18] <ManDay> ^workman^, given the fact that my old l/m seems gone the option seems tempting
[19:18] <ManDay> ok
[19:18] <ManDay> ill read the page
[19:18] <^workman^> ManDay: ok... good luck
[19:19] <sd32> !offtopic
[19:19] <syn-ack> ok... which was ot?
[19:19] <^workman^> me most likely
[19:19] <MrKeuner> grawity, can I remap super key for some other key (combination) for the whole system?
[19:19] <syn-ack> I wish they would specify the person sometime
[19:19] <syn-ack> anyway
[19:19] <^workman^> =)
[19:20] <^workman^> doh... a =) is offtopic too I suppose
[19:20] <j3g> whatś a good way to manage admin passwords on a large enterprise? (how enterprises deal with having many admins + many servers)
[19:20] <mneptok> j3g: LDAP
[19:20] <^workman^> j3g: NIS or Ldap
[19:20] <ab2283> hi, quick question: is there any known issue with vsftpd and pam_smbpass.o authentication in karmic? my vsftpd segfaults or denies authentication, seemingly at random :/
[19:20] <syn-ack> j3g, LDAP or the Redhat directory server
[19:21] <j3g> mneptok: what happens if the ldap server crashes or something like that ?
[19:21] <syn-ack> which is included in Ubuntu, btw
[19:21] <VirusTB> how do i tell what version I grub I have installed?
[19:21] <syn-ack> j3g, what happens when an AD server crashes? ;)
[19:21] <VirusTB> of8
[19:21] <j3g> syn-ack: you have many ads for the job, can you have many ldaps for the job?
[19:21] <^workman^> j3g: yes
[19:21] <syn-ack> j3g, yes
[19:21] <syn-ack> VirusTB, Clean install of Karmic?
[19:21] <greezmunkey> j3g, and there you are :)
[19:21] <tester_> Hallo, ich habe ein "kleines" Problem mit Karmic. Und zwar ist das System ziemlich träge. Gibt es Anhaltspunkte, bei denen ich mal nachsehen könnte?
[19:21] <mneptok> j3g: replication is a Good Thing(tm)
[19:22] <VirusTB> syn-ack,  dont really know, my cousin did it
[19:22] <mneptok> !de > tester_
[19:22] <^workman^> VirusTB: run grub --version
[19:22] <syn-ack> VirusTB, from a console type lsb_release -a and tell me what you get
[19:23] <syn-ack> Then do what workman said
[19:23] <mistergibson> is there anyone capable of answering any questions about networking?
[19:23] <VirusTB> syn-ack,  i had 9.04, and now i got 9.10
[19:23] <^workman^> !ask mistergibson
[19:23] <^workman^> !ask |mistergibson
[19:23] <mistergibson> I did three times
[19:23] <^workman^> srry, didn't see that
[19:23] <syn-ack> VirusTB, Most likely GRUB legacy unless he upgraded it
[19:23] <mistergibson> I have Network Manager installed
[19:24] <mistergibson> but it fights with Network settings panel under admin menu
[19:24] <mistergibson> the two set the same files and fight
[19:24] <mistergibson> which one do I remove from my system?
[19:24] <^workman^> mistergibson: I'd say leave the default "NetworkManager" and remove the other one
[19:24] <mistergibson> k, thanks
[19:24] <VirusTB> ^workman^ syn-ack,  well when  go "grub --version" in command primt, i get "The program 'grub' is currently not installed"
[19:24] <mneptok> mistergibson: you don;t remove either.
[19:25] <mistergibson> hrm
[19:25] <mneptok> mistergibson: you use NetworkManager and leave the other alone
[19:25] <syn-ack> VirusTB, Then grub 2 is installed
[19:25] <mistergibson> I see
[19:25] <mistergibson> then why is it there and they aren't integrated? hrm
[19:25] <mistergibson> ok
[19:25] <^workman^> VirusTB: what happens when you type grub "hit the tab key"
[19:25] <VirusTB> ^workman^,  hit the tab key?
[19:25] <mistergibson> I see thanks for your time
[19:26] <syn-ack> ^workman^, He's got GRUB 2 installed
[19:26] <syn-ack> I just did the same thing to verify
[19:26] <VirusTB> ^workman^,  display all 2226 possibilities?
[19:26] <^workman^> syn-ack: so grub2 doesn't have a binary? or is it named grub2
[19:26] <VirusTB> syn-ack,  sweet, well how to i verify what Grub i have installed
[19:26] <j3g> syn-ack: is redhat directory server included in ubuntu?
[19:26] <syn-ack> It does, its called grub2, iirc
[19:26] <^workman^> VirusTB: hmm, ok nvm.
[19:26] <syn-ack> j3g, yes
[19:26] <kuello> hi all
[19:26] <^workman^> syn-ack: oh ok cool.
[19:27] <^workman^> !hi | kuello
[19:27] <VirusTB> syn-ack, ^workman^  i  have edited grub (1/ legacy before)  how do I ge to Grub-2?
[19:27] <j3g> syn-ack: do you know the package name? apt-cache search redhat didn't return anything directory-related
[19:27] <marek> pl
[19:27] <syn-ack> VirusTB, heh, completely different read the manpage, please
[19:28] <^workman^> VirusTB: /etc/default/grub or /etc/grub.d/ make sure in either case to run "update-grub" once your finished
[19:28] <^workman^> !grub2 | VirusTB
[19:28] <syn-ack> j3g, give me a second
[19:30] <syn-ack> Hrm where the hell did it go... the cluster suite is in there
[19:30] <VirusTB> syn-ack,  i cant get the man page's  "Man grub2"  "man grub" /??
[19:30] <j3g> yeah... i've found rhcs
[19:31] <^workman^> j3g: try fedora
[19:31] <syn-ack> j3g, http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Howto:DebianUbuntu

[19:38] <NeoNexus> VirusTB : You will probably have to install it

[19:39] <VirusTB> NeoNexus,  from the CD?

[19:39] <maxagaz_> NeoNexus, I've never set a firewall on my laptop

[19:43] <h00k> along with adding the user to the group
[19:43] <^workman^> ouch!
[19:43] <^workman^> h00k: not cool

[19:52] <NeoNexus> VirusTB : If Ubuntu can see it you use the pass through option
[19:53] <alabd> syn-ack: should we say kernel 2.6.8 build 11 ?
[19:53] <syn-ack> alabd, example
[19:53] <alabd> or segment 11?

[19:54] <VirusTB> NeoNexus,  well when i sicked the CD in the drive, it popped up and opened! so ubntu see's the CD but not Virtual BOX
[19:55] <NeoNexus> jensm1 : most likely Karmic
[19:55] <Halitech> kirill, if you have sound then its installed, try installing alsamixergui and see if you can turn it up using that
[19:55] <xckpd7> #ubuntu, how would I install virtualbox 3.1.0 from the command line?

[19:55] <jensm1> ^workman^: neonexus okej. I dont know what that is. do you know how to help  me
[19:55] <NeoNexus> jensm1 : hold down shift key and drop into grub, change the device by hand
[19:55] <^workman^> jensm1: try buring the ISO to a cd, boot from the CD and use the usb cd creator app to create your live usb.
[19:55] <tHW> guntbert: ok
[19:55] <Halitech> xckpd7, do you have a file downloaded or are you using the repos?

[19:56] <jMyles> I cannot seem to get an application to start during startup (by adding to it to startup applications).  When I do, the computer freezes in the middle of the startup sound.

[19:59] <kirill> n2diy, how i can istall pulseaudio on xubuntu?
[19:59] <Dr_Willis> xckpd7:  theres unofficial and ppa repos for newer versions i belive.

[19:59] <NeoNexus> jensm1 : there should be a list of commands, your looking for setting the root device
[19:59] <Halitech> xckpd7, if its version 3.0 then thats what you will get unless you want to download from Sun's site

[19:59] <FloodBot1> luis_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:59] <Um_cara_qualquer> Halitech, losha thx folks
[19:59] <philipp_> Does anyone have an idea how i can handle this Bug?

[19:59] <Um_cara_qualquer> cya
[19:59] <jMyles> Can somebody help me think of a good set of keywords to use to search for solutions to the following problem?  I cannot seem to get an application to start during startup (by adding to it to startup applications).  When I do, the computer freezes in the middle of the startup sound.  This happens with both efax-gtk and gnome-terminal, which I used to test.  It does not happen with gnome-do.
[19:59] <Um_cara_qualquer> yeah
[19:59] <VirusTB> luis_ easy!
[19:59] <Halitech> Um_cara_qualquer, welcome
[19:59] <xckpd7> Halitech: that's fine unless 3.1.0 is some  huge improvement over 3.0
[19:59] <VirusTB> luis_ take it easy*
[19:59] <n2diy> kirill: I'm running xubuntu 8.04, and sound works for me, let me check what I'm running?
[20:00] <^workman^> sint: not sure... raedon is a product of ATI....
[20:00] <luis_> thinked u said solution was easy...
[20:00] <sd32> !repeat
[20:00] <Halitech> xckpd7, not sure, the command I gave with the * should work then
[20:00] <alabd> ^workman^: is not mentioned here http://stason.org/TULARC/os/linux-faq/015-How-Does-Linux-Kernel-Versioning-Work.html
[20:00] <Dr_Willis> jMyles:  make a script that launches all of them. .and have it sleep for like 40 sec. that way the desktop is loaded and sounds all played befor they try to get launched.
[20:00] <VirusTB> Dr_Willis, do you use Virtual Box?
[20:00] <alabd> syn-ack: what should we say exactly for that 11 ? build ? segment ?
[20:00] <tHW> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-distributions-5/booting-issues.-grub-error-code-15.-772086/
[20:00] <Dr_Willis> VirusTB:  yes I do from time to time.
[20:01] <syn-ack> alabd, prepatch
[20:01] <n2diy> kirill: I'm running xfce4-mixer here.
[20:01] <sd32> !patience
[20:01] <VirusTB> Dr_Willis,  WITH Win XP?? I cant get my Vir. Box to see my Win XP istallation disk :S
[20:01] <syn-ack> alabd, did you read that link that ^workman^ supplied you with?"
[20:01] <VirusTB> installation*
[20:01] <jMyles> Dr_Willis: I will try this.  Thanks for this suggestion - you have helped me many times.
[20:01] <kirill> n2diy, ok i try to install it
[20:02] <NeoNexus> VirusTB : In the CD options, dont you have a pass through option?
[20:02] <sd32> huh they changes the patience message
[20:02] <^workman^> alabd: the 11 could be a version that is maintained by ubuntu....
[20:02] <Dr_Willis> jMyles:  i had to a similer 'trick' for conky and a few other apps that got confused if they got launched befor nautilus had taken over the desktop/root windiws
[20:02] <VirusTB> NeoNexus,  a what? how do i check that?
[20:02] <xckpd7> Halitech: yeah your right but that is version 2.1.4
[20:02] <kirill> n2diy, i also use it
[20:02] <Halitech> xckpd7, here is the download for the PEUL version http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
[20:02] <kirill> n2diy, how i can turn it up more then 100%
[20:03] <NeoNexus> VirusTB : in the cd/dvd rom options, mount the drive as pass through
[20:03] <jMyles> Dr_Willis: Interesting.  I wonder what we can do to avert this problem for other users.  Has a bug been filed?
[20:03] <xckpd7> Halitech: which version should I download?
[20:03] <incog> first time installing ubuntu here, it's really not bad after you get rid of the shitbrown theme and background
[20:03] <xckpd7> i386 or AMD64?
[20:03] <Halitech> xckpd7, what version of Ubuntu are you running?
[20:03] <^workman^> brb
[20:03] <xckpd7> Halitech: Ubuntu Jaunty
[20:03] <ngirard> /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdb2 don't show up in nautilus. Why ?
[20:04] <Halitech> xckpd7, 32bit or 64?
[20:04] <luis_> Hello guys i need help with proxies: i am a noob to this, i used a proxie and now firefox says the proxie is unable to connect to internet, i have used 5 diferent proxies and nothing, whats happening?????
[20:04] <xckpd7> Halitech: how do I tell?
[20:04] <n2diy> double click on the speaker, and make sure the master and pcm sliders are maxed.
[20:04] <Iksf> hey, off topic but on Vista what is the recovery key combo?
[20:04] <VirusTB> NeoNexus,  sorry i have no Ideo what your talking about, from my VirtalBox i cant see the CD at all!, but from Places>CDROM i see the dvd and its conttent
[20:04] <Halitech> xckpd7, uname -a
[20:04] <sd32> luis_: try proxy.org
[20:04] <vashitn>  i have a laptop with finger print reader does exist a program for ubuntu and does it support this thing???
[20:04] <xckpd7> x86_64 GNU
[20:04] <ikonia> luis_: telnet to the server name and proxy port - see if you can get to it
[20:04] <Halitech> VirusTB, shut down virtual machine and then check the settings in virtual box
[20:04] <xckpd7> Halitech: x86_64 GNU/Linux
[20:05] <Halitech> xckpd7, then you want the 64bit
[20:05] <Dr_Willis> jMyles:  hard to tell what to file a bug against. If it works  fine with the delay. could be some sort of race condition
[20:05] <NeoNexus> VirusTB : Have you setup a virtual machine yet, ie Machine type, Hard disk etc?
[20:05] <jMyles> luis_: Tell us more about your configuration.  What is the proxy address?
[20:05] <mneptok> xckpd7: install Virtualbox from the repos
[20:05] <mneptok> xckpd7: then you're sure you get the right version
[20:06] <xckpd7> mneptok: I couldn't find 3.1.0 or 3.0 in the repo
[20:06] <incog> how do i make irssi tab-complete nicks?
[20:06] <Halitech> mneptok, and no usb support
[20:06] <xckpd7> mneptok: not only that, but 3.0 won't install
[20:06] <ikonia> luis_: telnet to the proxy server you want to use on the port you think is open, eg: telnet proxyserver.network.com 8080
[20:06] <jMyles> Dr_Willis: Indeed, the delay solution worked.  Thank you very much.  You are a great asset to the community.
[20:06] <Meniscus> I am running ubuntu 9.10 I have an issue with audio. I use a logitech USB headphone/microphone combination.  whenever i reboot the "input" option system>preferences>sound gets changed back to my internal microphone.  how do I make it default to the USB headset?
[20:06] <bleng> hi all
[20:06] <ikonia> luis_: that will tell you if you can reach the proxy server you want at a basic network level, which is a good place to start
[20:06] <Iksf> hey
[20:06] <mneptok> xckpd7: Version: 3.0.8-dfsg-1ubuntu1
[20:07] <VirusTB> NeoNexus,  i have named the VM, allocated memory for it,  yes
[20:07] <VirusTB> NeoNexus,  i closed the Virtual Box, and restarted it,  and then... ?
[20:07] <jfb_h2o> any suggestions why 'ls' would be very slow in all directories, not just ones with many files...
[20:07] <xckpd7> mneptok: couldn't find that when trying to do search aptitutde
[20:08] <xckpd7> or sudo apt-get
[20:08] <NeoNexus> VirusTB: close the machine down, the click settings, then CD/DVD
[20:08] <Iksf> Does anybody know the key combination for Windows recovery in Vista, sure its F11 and something else, anyone know?
[20:08] <bleng> im having some trouble, i had dual boot with windows and ubuntu, same disk 2 partition, after i split the windows partition so i could have 2 partitions there my grub menu is gone and it boot automaticaly to windows
[20:08] <NeoNexus> VirusTB: should be a page with mount CD ROM
[20:08] <mneptok> xckpd7: apt-cache show virtualbox-ose
[20:08] <IdleOne> Iksf: ##windows
[20:08] <Haegin> Iksf: normally it's mash F8 on startup iirc
[20:08] <Halitech> !grub
[20:08] <bleng> !grub2
[20:08] <xckpd7> Halitech: the package I just installed from the site you gave, it says that it conflicts with virtualbox-ose
[20:09] <Iksf> cheers, il get my friend to try it when he's back on, Comp has probs crashed again
[20:09] <NeoNexus> lksf : is it not F8?
[20:09] <Halitech> xckpd7, then you had virtualbox-ose already installed
[20:09] <VirusTB> VirtualBox 3.1 .. I still dont see o DVD/CD option :S
[20:09] <vashitn>  i have a laptop with fingerprint reader does exist a program for ubuntu and does ubuntu support this kind of thing???
[20:09] <xckpd7> Halitech: I have virtualbox-ose installed but I want the newer version (3.1.0)
[20:09] <guntbert> vashitn: look for thinkfinger
[20:09] <xckpd7> do I uninstall this older one first and then try to install this one
[20:09] <^workman^> VirusTB: does your BIOS see your CDROM
[20:10] <Halitech> xckpd7, then you have to unistall the current version and use the one you downloaded
[20:10] <VirusTB> ^workman^,  yes I can see the files on the CD, but VirtualBox just doesnt see th cd (or doesnt show me a CD option)
[20:10] <guntbert> xckpd7: you'll have to add the vb repo
[20:11] <guntbert> xckpd7: you'll have to add the vb ppa
[20:11] <xckpd7> guntbert: huh?
[20:11] <NeoNexus> VirusTB: have you checked your usergroups to make sure your username is in the VirtualBox usergroup?
[20:11] <mneptok> xckpd7: what release of Ubuntu are you using?
[20:11] <guntbert> xckpd7: sorry I mistyped, there is a ppa for virtual box
[20:11] <xckpd7> mneptok: Ubuntu Jaunty

[20:13] <duffydack> xckpd7,  remove the ose version if you want, and a quick install of newest is wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/sun_vbox.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add - && echo deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian `lsb_release --short --codename` non-free | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/virtualbox.list && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install virtualbox-3.0

[20:14] <duffydack> xckpd7, adds the key, adds the repo, updates and installs.
[20:14] <xckpd7> duffydack: can I keep the older version or no
[20:14] <mbeierl> is there a bug reported for karmic bash completion not working for java -cp ../path style?  I've searched and cannot find one.
[20:15] <^workman^> VirusTB: did you try that link I sent
[20:15] <VirusTB> ^workman^,  reading it now
[20:15] <duffydack> xckpd7, as far as the ose version goes, I dont know..  I prefer the usb supported version...
[20:15] <^workman^> k
[20:15] <Pelo> anyone else using PPA repositories having problems ?
[20:15] <zanberdo> I need to configure a process to run before networking starts during the boot process.  I've written a script and added it to the start-up procedure with update-rc.d but even setting the start level to 1 it's not called until after networking starts.  How might I run my process during boot *before* networking?
[20:15] <guntbert> xckpd7: I suppose no - they exclude each other
[20:15] <xckpd7> duffydack: wait so I have to do stuff before I enter in that long line? sorry kinda confused here, not  your fault though
[20:15] <NeoNexus> ngirard: do a "ls /media" at a terminal, see what u got in there
[20:15] <incog> fags
[20:16] <duffydack> xckpd7, you dont have to lose your virtual machines.... just the software
[20:16] <xckpd7> ok I'm just going to try that long line you told me to type.....
[20:16] <duffydack> xckpd7, I`d uninstall the ose version myself....but upto you.
[20:17] <xckpd7> duffydack: ok, you sure it won't delete my image?
[20:17] <duffydack> xckpd7, nothing from your home folder will be deleted
[20:17] <xckpd7> I have no problem deleting it, I'm just trying to find out where my image is so I can back it up
[20:17] <NeoNexus> xckpd7 : Your machines and virtual Hard disk are kept in your /home/username/.VirtualBox
[20:18] <vashitn> !fingerprint
[20:18] <Pelo> !backup
[20:19] <ngirard> NeoNexus: ?? sorry but there's no point here in listing directories. Anyway, i've found a workaround. I couldn't get 'em via e-Sata but using usb 2 it worked. Thanks anyway for your assistance. Cheers !

[20:20] <^workman^> !ot | luis_
[20:20] <Dr_Willis> luis_:  where are these proxy addresses comming from?
[20:21] <luis_> nomaster yoda give me a list of his usa proxies
[20:21] <cant> Dr_willis  What is the restricted extras url address to add in synaptic?
[20:21] <luis_> nomasteryoda*
[20:21] <xckpd7> duffydack: that looks like it worked, though where do I launch it?
[20:21] <Dr_Willis> cant:  its in the normal repos.
[20:21] <Dr_Willis> !info ubuntu-restricted-extras
[20:21] <Dr_Willis> cant:  it installs about 300mb of stuff
[20:21] <duffydack> xckpd7, applications/system tools
[20:21] <xckpd7> duffydack: not there
[20:21] <cant> I cant seem to get there
[20:21] <luis_> Dr_Willis: nomasteryoda give me a list of his usa proxies
[20:22] <scuffed> can someone help me with a small problem with ubuntu 9.10 and apache please?
[20:22] <duffydack> xckpd7, odd.  well to launch from terminal or make your own launcher its Virtualbox
[20:22] <Dr_Willis> luis_:  could be they have people blocked.
[20:22] <duffydack> xckpd7, sorry... VirtualBox
[20:22] <Dr_Willis> luis_:  good luck.
[20:22] <guntbert> xckpd7: if application/system tools is not there you might need to "edit the menu"
[20:22] <NeoNexus> scuffed: ask the question and we'll try and answer
[20:22] <cant> Dr_willis I have the first 4 of five checked but the video still doesnt work
[20:23] <duffydack> xckpd7, having the other version might be a cause..  might be somewhere else, like accessories.. make your own if not
[20:23] <scuffed> i have apache php 5 and mysql installed, i had it working with 9.04 and now that i did the online upgrade with ubuntu its telling me that the permission is denied when i try to access the site through http browser
[20:23] <xckpd7> guntbert: no application/system tools is there, it's just VirtualBox is not there
[20:23] <luis_> uhhh? what u mean, there is a video service i can only acces being usa resident
[20:23] <luis_> hope using a proxy i can look like one
[20:23] <luis_> Dr_Willis: uhhh? what u mean, there is a video service i can only acces being usa resident
[20:23] <luis_> hope using a proxy i can look like one
[20:23] <scuffed> i checked the default file for enabled sites
[20:24] <scuffed> set it to the media disk that i was using still
[20:24] <Iksf> cheers guys, F8 worked, now to see if its actually recoverable
[20:24] <xckpd7> duffydack: running it from terminal works (outside of some error about vboxdrv kernel module not being loaded) but it looks like it works (though I haven't started the image yet)
[20:24] <Dr_Willis> luis_:  correct.. In the usa i can access hulu. but i cant access the BBC stuff..
[20:24] <duffydack> xckpd7, you need the module loaded..
[20:24] <Guest46758> does anyone know how to play windows gamesand programs on ubuntu linux
[20:24] <xckpd7> duffydack: I don't follow you
[20:25] <Dr_Willis> !wine | Guest46758
[20:25] <Dr_Willis> games are technically programs :)
[20:25] <Iksf> or not
[20:25] <NuuBuntu> I'm trying to set up a WUSB54GC USB Wireless Adaptor on Ubuntu and I'm having a really hard time. I've already used ndiswrapper to install the drivers ( at least I think... ) but have no idea where to go from here or how to set up and connect to the network.
[20:25] <duffydack> xckpd7, did you remove the other version before hand?
[20:25] <Iksf> F8 no good
[20:25] <xckpd7> duffydack: yep
[20:25] <Iksf> any other ideas?
[20:25] <scuffed> anyone?
[20:25] <BlouBlou> !anyone | scuffed
[20:25] <duffydack> xckpd7, try sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
[20:25] <Guest46758> i tried WINE ir does not work is there any other programs out there
[20:25] <Dr_Willis> Iksf:  ask in #windows for windows questions.
[20:26] <guntbert> Iksf: this channel is for ubuntu support only - please ask windows questions elsewhere
[20:26] <xckpd7> duffydack: command not found
[20:26] <NeoNexus> lksf : sorry I give up on Windows a while ago, it used to be F8 during boot to drop into recovery menu, have you tried booting from the install CD?
[20:26] <Dr_Willis> Guest46758:  theres dozens of sites that help play specific games in wine.
[20:26] <Dr_Willis> !appdb | guntbert
[20:26] <VirusTB> ^workman^,  reading it now... and it seems like gibberish to me :S .. i Failed
[20:26] <Dr_Willis> oops sorry guntbert .. :)
[20:26] <Guest46758> i am using ubuntu
[20:26] <Dr_Willis> oops sorry Guest46758
[20:26] <guntbert> Dr_Willis: :)
[20:26] <^workman^> VirusTB: =(
[20:26] <arooni__> how do i make a program the default handler for a file extension?  i.e. making deluge handle *.torrent instead of transmission?
[20:26] <sheena_> t
[20:26] <scuffed> well my question is. how do i get apache to allow the folder im using the docroot as to be allowed to be viewed when i visit the ip address
[20:26] <Dr_Willis> Guest46758:  thats good.. since this is Ubuntu support. :) but  theres also wine specific support rooms./sites
[20:27] <VirusTB> ^workman^,  would u like to see my .xml file/
[20:27] <Guest46758> please tell me opther ways to play the windows games besides WINE
[20:27] <VirusTB> Guest46758, WINE
[20:27] <scuffed> it works with /var/www but not my /media/disk/disk/www
[20:27] <scuffed> and i dont understand why
[20:27] <Dr_Willis> Guest46758:  crossover, cedega (wine variants)  or good LUCK getting them working in virtualbox/vmware
[20:27] <scuffed> it worked before the upgrade
[20:27] <Guest50830> how can I disable ctrl-s lock in xterm?
[20:27] <Dr_Willis> Guest46758:  or go look at the wine app database and see how well the game works in wine
[20:27] <Guest46758> WINE DOES NOT WORK ON MY COMPUTER
[20:28] <Kyran> Quest46758, it depends on the game. You could try virtualizing the machine if you have a tough enough computer, but WINE is going to be better for that
[20:28] <^workman^> VirusTB: hard to say. I would just backup the .xml and start playing with the settings from the link I sent u
[20:28] <Dr_Willis> Guest46758:  thats an incorrect statement.. wine may not work for SPECIFIC apps.. but it can work for many
[20:28] <Guest46758> sorry bout the caps
[20:28] <^workman^> !caps
[20:28] <Kyran> Quest46758, And please, shouting is unecessary
[20:28] <Guest46758> i am frustrated

[20:28] <Kyran> What program are you attempting to run?
[20:28] <cant> Still unable to do video
[20:28] <VirusTB> ^workman^,  :( I guess im just not meant to use Windows on ubuntu :P

[20:36] <budmaester> where can I get support for webcam use with Skype/Ubuntu?
[20:36] <Kyran> Guest, Mucking about with partitions, virtual drives, and installing the beast that is windows seem to be rather extreme measures for Myst, especially considering the tendency Windows has to bugger up GRUB and the fact the windows itself doesn't help Myst much
[20:36] <Kyran> Cervega
[20:36] <Kyran> Should help you
[20:37] <Guest46758> or is wine the only one
[20:37] <h4f1> Guest46758: virtual machines

[20:37] <scuffed> any help with my problem? or a better place to go about it with?
[20:37] <NeoNexus> budmaester: sorry, it sounds more of a Skype problem, try a Skype related channel or ask Google?

[20:42] <guntbert> duffydack: vbox 3.1 is aleady out

[20:43] <duffydack> I forgot newer releases needed explicitly installing
[20:43] <Kyran> Guest46758, do you have much experience with emulation?
[20:43] <xckpd7> duffydack: so you want me to uninstall this one?
[20:44] <lyrae> is there a way to detect a hover even on a nautilus menu item?
[20:44] <duffydack> xckpd7, no, im out of touch lol
[20:44] <NeoNexus> Anyone know where I can get information on readahead, ie the error code meanings?
[20:44] <xckpd7> duffydack: I just did sudo-apt get install virtualbox 3.0
[20:44] <duffydack> xckpd7, is it compiling the modules and installing?
[20:44] <xckpd7> yeah done

[20:44] <duffydack> xckpd7, whatever dude....upto you...
[20:44] <xckpd7> duffydack: that's the thing, it's not in the ubuntu repo
[20:45] <xckpd7> duffydack: no literally any way to get this up and running is a-ok with me
[20:45] <MrKeuner> hello, 1-what is a good key combination to use instead of super key in Gnome Desktop Environment (there is no ms button on my keyboard) 2-Is there a way to do this change for the whole system at once
[20:45] <gerzel> ok Odd setup question here.  I got a creative xfi card(working fine) in my box and the on-board sound.  The on board sound is low-quality, but so are my speakers so I have them plugged into the onboard while my high quality phones are plugged into the card.  In sound there is an option to choose the sound output device and I can choose one or the other or simultanious.  I was wondering if I could make a script or button to add to the pan
[20:45] <gerzel> el to switch between card only and simultanious output.
[20:45] <xckpd7> duffydack: I really don't know what I'm doing here
[20:45] <gerzel> IE how do I figure out how to do this outside of the gui?
[20:45] <duffydack> so lsmod | grep vbox
[20:45] <duffydack> should be 3
[20:46] <xckpd7> duffydack: correct
[20:46] <duffydack> xckpd7, now we're good.
[20:46] <duffydack> run it.. accept license blah blah
[20:46] <xckpd7> duffydack: yep, I just need help moving back my virtualmachines, and creating a shortcut if you can help with that
[20:47] <duffydack> xckpd7, file manager and show hidden..
[20:47] <duffydack> xckpd7, safest way.. just move the vdi files, and the folders for your machines
[20:47] <duffydack> xckpd7, leave the other stuff.
[20:48] <public_> could anyone tell me the name of the file that starts up X? I keep getting sent back to the login screen. Have just done 9.10 upgrade, sure I remember a config file I could remove that would be rewritten on startup...?
[20:48] <Kyran> Does anyone remember the parametres to make fdisk return data on all partitions?
[20:48] <bcurtiswx> hey all, what process rotates the logs in /var/log my server at work hasn't been rotating them (we think a hacker got in and messed with it), now the logs are taking up filespace..
[20:48] <duffydack> xckpd7, wont really needed to have moved them in the 1st place, but I`m playing cautious..
[20:48] <bcurtiswx> is there a way to run that process right now?
[20:48] <^workman^> sudo Kyran: fdisk -l
[20:49] <^workman^> Kyran: sudo fdisk -l
[20:49] <public_> ps. have tried to login gnome and kde - just get sent back to login each time :(
[20:50] <^workman^> bcurtiswx: /etc/logrotate.conf
[20:50] <duffydack> xckpd7, sudo killall gnome-panel might make it show up....  if not then make your own.. right click menu, edit
[20:50] <enrico_> !list
[20:50] <bcurtiswx> ^workman^: is that run as a daemon though?
[20:50] <duffydack> xckpd7, just make a new item in where-ever, and make it run VirtualBox
[20:51] <^workman^> bcurtiswx: it's run from cron in /etc/cron.daily
[20:51] <Shoe>  I have 4 ram slots on my computer. 2 of them are filled, one 256MB and 1 512MB.  The other 2 slots are white. Whenever I try to put RAM in the 2 white slots, my computer won't turn on. Or, more accurately, it turns on, but the screen just stays in standby, and nothing I do can make it display. I'm running Ubuntu 9.04. Anyone have any suggestions?

[20:54] <Kyran> Right, so assuming the DevID is accurate, "UUID=748CD6258CD5E1A2 /home/ian/storage defaults ntfs 0 0" that sequence of code in the stab would automount this drive?
