[19:23] <pH_> hey guys
[19:23] <pH_> what do you think of this? http://twitpic.com/12hady
[19:23] <kenneth_work> morning!
[19:23] <pH_> morning
[19:23] <infoG> i tried using the USB installer from this program, but it doesn't seem to work with amd64 version of ubuntu 9.10
[19:23] <infoG> http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/#more-3827
[19:23] <infoG> that program ^^
[19:23] <capiscuas> soreau, i installed lirc, but i don't know how to detect the remote
[19:23] <cakeIsaLie> acicula: Well i only have a hardy disk but does not support ext4 is it possible to add support?
[19:24] <acicula> cakeIsaLie: that question does not make sense
[19:24] <gh0stn0te> srry blakkheim i was forgettin that
[19:24] <gh0stn0te> btw hi all
[19:24] <mkquist_> cakeIsaLie: ext4 is suppused to be backward compatable.. no?
[19:25] <jp__> I just installed Usplash on a minimal Ubuntu 8.04 installation. It shows it but not for so long, then starts showing command line text until it boots the x server. Any ideas on how to make Ubuntu show usplash until the xserver starts?
[19:25] <kgs> I can't seem to find any good info on turning off USB support in Ubuntu. I'm interested in doing this to save battery. Anyone know anything about this? I figure that I should be able to unload a module or something.
[19:25] <linusoleander> daftykins: Its the same thing, using the java-6-sun version now
[19:26] <linusoleander> daftykins: The script works the first time, but not after that
[19:26] <marsje> hi people... how do I start ubuntu's remote desktop server using a shell? I think the app is called vino, but I don't see the vino executable
[19:26] <kgs> marsje: Could you be thinking of vinagre rather than vino?
[19:26] <cakeIsaLie> not sure , Let me re-ask , I only have a hardy live cd and am trying to mount a ext4 partition , Is this possible ha hardy does not support ext4?
[19:26] <daftykins> linusoleander: i wouldn't really trust what version of java is executing. i'd recommend either reinstalling the host or diagnosing how to clean _every_ java version then starting afresh
[19:27] <marsje> kgs: probably... :)
[19:27] <trism> marsje:   http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-266981.html
[19:27] <syn-ack> cakeIsaLie: Hardy does not support ext4
[19:27] <daftykins> cakeIsaLie: it's probably not going to work. as far as i know older ones are supposed to be able to mount ext4 as ext2 or something - but there might be complications
[19:27] <kgs> marsje: vinagre is a client program.
[19:27] <linusoleander> daftykins: I just did a reinstall of the server, 2 hours ago
[19:27] <acicula> kgs: unloading the usb subsystem?
[19:27] <marsje> kgs: I'm looking for the server
[19:27] <kgs> acicula: I guess.
[19:28] <daftykins> linusoleander: well i don't know what to suggest. the running java is your problem no doubt, that's as useful as i can be
[19:28] <kgs> marsje: Then, I am not so sure. I generally use ssh/sshd to connect to machines remotely.
[19:28] <marsje> trism: that looks like what I need
[19:29] <marsje> kgs: yes, I'm ssh'd into someone desktop remotely and I want to see the desktop
[19:29] <kgs> marsje: Ah, I see now.
[19:29] <faris> Hi . I d like to log in ubuntu from Console without loading X . How can I do this ?
[19:29] <kgs> I'm interested in that as well. I'm going to have a look at that link too.
[19:30] <acicula> faris: remove gdm from being loaded at boot time?
[19:30] <ZykoticK9> faris, what version of ubuntu?
[19:30] <faris> Karmic
[19:30] <faris> koala
[19:30] <cakeIsaLie> !ext4 cakeIsaLie
[19:31] <ZykoticK9> faris, see the OR at the bottom of http://paste.ubuntu.com/374167/
[19:31] <kgs> faris: You can use ctrl+alt+F1, if you want to do that. You can also specify certain parameters via grub2 so that X is not started at all (IE: no gdm). But it doesn't work very well, at least it hasn't for me. It breaks sound.
[19:31] <jp__> I just installed Usplash on a minimal Ubuntu 8.04 installation. It shows it but not for so long, then starts showing command line text until it boots the x server. Any ideas on how to make Ubuntu show usplash until the xserver starts?
[19:32] <mkquist> jp__: is it booting with quiet mode on?
[19:32] <jp__> mkquist, I think so. I'm booting the kernel using this kernel flags "quiet splash"
[19:32] <jp__> s/this/these
[19:32] <kgs> ZykoticK9: Do you know if the procedure in that link you pasted breaks sound support?
[19:33] <grndslm> jp__:  only thing i know about usplash is that (A) you've gotta use the Startup Manager program, and (B) a lotta usplash themes don't work with different versions of ubuntu
[19:33] <mkquist> jp__: yeah thats it
[19:33] <ZykoticK9> kgs, don't know for sure - don't think so
[19:33] <grndslm> A LOT
[19:33] <faris> in fact , I uninstalled gnome , but don t know if I did that correctly
[19:34] <faris> because now it gives a black screen when it would normally display the slpash
[19:34] <grndslm> anybody know why nautilus won't open for me??  and i can't see the files in my Desktop while I'm staring at my Desktop??
[19:34] <grndslm> opening nautilus in terminal gives me this...
[19:34] <grndslm> (nautilus:8796): Eel-CRITICAL **: eel_preferences_get_boolean: assertion `preferences_is_initialized ()' failed

[19:34] <grndslm> oh come on now...
[19:34] <ZykoticK9> grndslm, "Segmentation fault" = not a good sign
[19:35] <grndslm> exactly
[19:35] <cakeIsaLie> Can someone have a look at tell me if its a hardware error http://pastebin.com/m10af151a
[19:36] <jp__> I just installed Usplash on a minimal Ubuntu 8.04 installation. It shows it but not for so long, then starts showing command line text until it boots the x server. Any ideas on how to make Ubuntu show usplash until the xserver starts?
[19:37] <Jordan_U> cakeIsaLie, Looks like you are trying to mount an ext4 filesystem with an old kernel
[19:37] <ZykoticK9> jp__, that's the third time in 10 minutes you've asked - please wait a little longer before posting the same question again - if someone knew, they would probably answer you
[19:38] <jp__> ZykoticK9, if someone knew, maybe that person did not see my msg, because there' 1439 people in her, so lots of them talk here as well.
[19:39] <jp__> s/her/here.
[19:39] <mkquist> jp__: i think this is interesting, might shed light?  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=782700
[19:39] <jp__> thanks!
[19:39] <jp__> lemme see it
[19:40] <acicula> cakeIsaLie: tried mounting as ext4?
[19:41] <jp__> ouch, mkquist, I am now using a swap partition, it's USB flash drive installation, so maybe that's the problem... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usplash/+bug/205990
[19:41] <acicula> cakeIsaLie: EXT3-fs: sda5: couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features (240). is the error, the rest just means you dont have a floppy drive or floppy disk inserted
[19:41] <jp__> as acicula suggested me, because of speeds on Flash drives
[19:42] <cakeIsaLie> acicula: well i just reformated it
[19:44] <pawel_> how to open a program on specific virtual screen?
[19:44] <zleap> console or x
[19:45] <ZykoticK9> pawel_, not sure it's possible - would be VERY handy though
[19:45] <zleap> or are you using screen, I can't help but more info would be useful
[19:45] <deploy> Font question.  How can I change? Am I missing a font or something?
[19:46] <domo> acicula: ZykoticK9 my fresh install is just about done.. i'll start with lspci | grep -i vga and paste the results here ok? then we'll go from there?
[19:47] <`mOOse`> I have a config file I need a pgm to read but I don't think the permissions are correct - how do I change them so that the pgm can read it?
[19:47] <`mOOse`> thanks
[19:47] <acicula> domo: ok
[19:47] <acicula> `mOOse`: chmod allows you to change permissions or right clicking in nautilus
[19:48] <`mOOse`> ack - I hate that!
[19:48] <zleap> pgm ?
[19:49] <ZykoticK9> zleap, program i'm guessing
[19:49] <`mOOse`> anyone know how to set the permissions on a conf file plz?
[19:49] <zleap> man chmod
[19:49] <IP-v6> !ot | IP-v6
[19:49] <domo> acicula: ok, the lspci output is: vga compatible controller: Intel Corporation Arrandale Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 12)
[19:50] <domo> but i know its a 4500MHD (windows + the specs on the machine are that)
[19:50] <zleap> try lshw
[19:50] <ZykoticK9> IP-v6, you can use "msg /ubottu !ot" and the channel won't see you
[19:50] <Guest44811> is it safe to upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10?
[19:50] <Guest44811> i had major problems 6 weeks ago...
[19:50] <IP-v6> ZykoticK9, thanks : )
[19:50] <zleap> list hardware what does that tell you, (it says you need to run that as root) so i guess you use su or sudo
[19:50] <GRAMMOS> CIAO
[19:51] <zleap> rather than logging in directly
[19:51] <mleger> I see many different methods for backing up one's system, from commercial packages to simply tarring the "/" folder as root. Can anyone recommend the best method for backing up and restoring a current ubuntu install, including all configurations and installed packages? Thanks!
[19:51] <domo> it says the same thing, just driver=i915
[19:51] <zleap> ok
[19:51] <acicula> domo: err thats hardware thats out for like a week?
[19:51] <domo> what?
[19:51] <zleap> doi only suggested it as it may have given different info
[19:51] <acicula> how old is that laptop?
[19:51] <GRAMMOS> XCHAT IRC ITALY?
[19:52] <domo> i bought it like 2 days ago
[19:52] <acicula> yeah, domo can you try a livecd from lucid alpha2, see how that goes
[19:52] <animeshmeher> hi all
[19:52] <domo> eek yuck i'll just do windows for now
[19:52] <acicula> domo: the hardware in that laptop was released mid january
[19:52] <zleap> mleger, backup method depends on what you want,  each situation is different
[19:52] <davidefavia> hi all, is there a way to set audio and video options only once for all users? thanks!
[19:52] <domo> thanks anyway
[19:52] <acicula> domo: try lucid alpha, you can try it without installing
[19:52] <GRAMMOS> * lesPaul456<EMAIL_ADDRESS>has joined #ubuntu
[19:52] <cmwslw> i've edited /etc/default/grub to set a timeout and a default selection. I ran update-grub and my changes were reflected in /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[19:53] <animeshmeher> any1 looking at CDMA network problem here
[19:53] <domo> acicula: yeah but isn't that real unstable
[19:53] <ZykoticK9> mleger, if you want to do a "clone" backup check out the Clonezilla LiveCD
[19:53] <TheBase> hello
[19:53] <cmwslw> but when i reboot, none of my changes show up in the grub menu
[19:53] <acicula> domo: well it can be
[19:53] <`mOOse`> so zleap, sudo chmod 777 polipo.conf would work?
[19:53] <zleap> domo, as lucid is development you may want to create a usb disk with it on, that way you're not wasting cd's
[19:53] <cmwslw> it still has the first default selection and it has no timeout
[19:53] <acicula> domo: still it would be worth a try to see if new intel drivers can fix it
[19:53] <mleger> zleap: specifically I'd like to migrate my current ubuntu install to a fresh 64 bit install on a different partition. I'd like to move all my settings and programs over to the new partition and delete this one later if all works. If something happens to this partition, I'd like to be able to just restore my files
[19:54] <zleap> m000se i am not usre if setting it to 777 best solution that gives global read , write, execute
[19:54] <TheBase> I'm running ubuntu 9.10 but when U play videos on youtube the sound is horrible. Any idea how can I improve it?
[19:54] <mleger> ZykoticK9: thanks! I'll take a look at it. Would I be able to later "restore" my settings to a 64 bit fresh install?
[19:54] <animeshmeher> anyone can help me with CDMA 3g netwoek related problem
[19:54] <acicula> animeshmeher: can you describe the problem
[19:55] <zleap> mleger, can you dual boot with the new system
[19:55] <animeshmeher> hi
[19:55] <ZykoticK9> mleger, cloning with clonezilla only does exact backup / restores of an entire HD or partition -- are you switching from 32 to 64 bit?
[19:55] <animeshmeher> I have ec 169 modem
[19:55] <zleap> sorry moving to 64 bit
[19:55] <j1nn> hi all. after updates getting this when starting firefox: "GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times Bus error". googling gives solutions like "remove .mozilla" and "reinstall firefox" - no luck. may some one help?

[19:56] <BenB88> Hello. Can anybody help me with running an application from inside termainl by creating a launcher on the panel. I have gotten as far as "gnome-terminal " ...
[19:56] <mleger> zleap: I am currently dual booting with vista, I was hoping to add another partition and install ubuntu 64bit on it
[19:56] <DarkKnight> what should i remove to uninstall sound (alsa, pulseaudio etc.with conf
[19:56] <zleap> ok so its all the same machine
[19:56] <azm> any idea why sometimes I get white screen on youtube instead of video  ?
[19:56] <mleger> zleap: do you have any advice on migrating to a 64 bit install if I can dual boot?
[19:56] <zleap> ok is the /home on a separate partition
[19:56] <animeshmeher> acicula: it used to work with 9.04 not working now
[19:56] <azm> it means like I cant watch anything
[19:56] <ZykoticK9> BenB88, "gnome-terminal -e $COMMAND_YOU_WANT"
[19:57] <zleap> i assume you are using 32 bit linux on a 64 bit system, then installing a 64 bit system
[19:57] <animeshmeher> acicula: tried almost all latest kernel patch and new updates
[19:57] <mleger> Zykotick9: that is exactly what I am thinking of doing, switching to 64 bit, but I have all my settings and configurations that I've spent a long time setting up and I'd hate to have to reinstall everything
[19:57] <zleap> mleger, i am guessing at ideas really hopefully someone will confirm or comment on my ideas
[19:57] <BenB88> zykotic9: You are a legend, thank you!
[19:57] <animeshmeher> Acicula: even the proposed updates i hav e tried
[19:58] <animeshmeher> acicula : suprisingly it works in opensuse
[19:58] <acicula> what part specifically is not working, what are you doing, what did you expect to happen and what happened instead?
[19:58] <animeshmeher> I suppose its because they use network manager 9.1
[19:58] <Ganang> anyone can teach the magic to have a dual monitor working with a ATI card on ubuntu
[19:58] <Ganang> ?
[19:58] <`mOOse`> whoa - it works
[19:58] <animeshmeher> arcicula: i am not able to connect
[19:58] <zleap> i am on 32 bit here,  but for user settings i have copied all files (including hidden) in my home directory over,  to a new location ,as long as the username is consistent, then may be ok, i coped stuff to a dvd then back to a new /home and it worked, e-mails etc intact
[19:58] <animeshmeher> using network manger
[19:59] <DarkKnight> what should i remove to complete uninstall every sound-engine in ubuntu 9.04?
[19:59] <TCD> Hey.
[19:59] <acicula> animeshmeher: you click the provider and then it fails to connect?
[19:59] <zleap> just permisions needed making read / write
[19:59] <Ganang> i've tried all the stuff so far, nothing seems to work
[19:59] <animeshmeher> yes
[19:59] <animeshmeher> its say prepering and than it just say disconnect
[19:59] <animeshmeher> can connect using wvdial
[19:59] <ZykoticK9> mleger, sorry man i don't think it's going to be as straight forward as you are hoping.  Although MUCH of your settings will work, they "might" also break on a 64bit OS - and certainly you don't want to be backup up any executables.  Your best bet is to just backup your Home folder and reinstall ALL programs - check out !clone as you could install the same programs, but not the same binaries
[19:59] <davidefavia> hi all, is there a way to set audio and video options only once for all users? thanks a lot!
[19:59] <acicula> animeshmeher: yeah i had that issue too
[19:59] <TCD> I was wanting to try out Ubuntu (Or Linux, but I guess ubuntu seemed like a nice choice), but I don't really want to get rid of windows. Is there any way I can run both at the same time, for free?
[20:00] <mleger> !clone
[20:00] <animeshmeher> acicula: is there a work around
[20:00] <animeshmeher> acicula : i am from india Use reliance connection
[20:01] <acicula> animeshmeher: can you pastebin the output from lspci?
[20:02] <mleger> Zykotick9: I see... how about this: by installing 9.10 on a new partition (including ext4 and I guess GRUB2?) is there a way for me to preserve my current GRUB rather than override? Also: I heard some bad feedback on GRUB2 and ext4, is that sound?
[20:02] <animeshmeher> acicula : it work in opensuse
[20:02] <kenneth_work> @TCD: Ubuntu is a distribution of Linux. Also, check out Wubi; you can install it like it was a Windows program.
[20:02] <animeshmeher> acicula: I dont know howto and probably not now
[20:02] <kenneth_work> @TCD: Also, if you are new to linux, Ubuntu is a pretty good choice; it's very user friendly.
[20:03] <animeshmeher> acicula : i had a bugged filed but that was marked as duplicate
[20:03] <acicula> animeshmeher: its a common problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1305931 , http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1330691
[20:03] <ZykoticK9> mleger, don't think there is a way to preserve your current grub [make a backup of grub.lst (possibly wrong name) !], but you can install grub-legacy after installing if you wish.  I personally have no complaints with either Grub2 or EXT4.
[20:04] <acicula> animeshmeher: did it say of what bug it was a duplicae?
[20:04] <mkquist> mleger: running 9.10 grub2 ext4 on 64bit and having no problems at all
[20:04] <animeshmeher> acicula : ya of a main bug report i can send u wait
[20:04] <mleger> Zykoltick9: Ok, I guess the only thing is to just dive in and see what happens :)
[20:05] <mleger> mkquist: Thanks for the info, like I said to Zykoltick I'll just dive in and try it. Deal with any issues as they arise
[20:05] <DarkKnight> what packages are responsible for sound? (except alsa, alsa-utils, pulseaudio)
[20:05] <ZykoticK9> mleger, if you can wait 77 days Lucid will be out
[20:06] <kenneth_work> Only 77 days?
[20:06] <j1nn> none had even seen this "GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times" and Bus error?

[20:11] <DarkKnight> Hey, what are the packages for sound in 9.04 ?
[20:11] <kenneth_work> @j!nn: It appears that you may have glib-unstable installed. You can use Synaptic Package Manager to downgrade to stable. Make sure you downgrade libglib2.0-0 and libglib2.0-data to version 2.22.2-0ubuntu1.

[20:23] <mint> Hi. I'm trying to use secure-delete(srm) to delete some files located on an ntfs formatted external hard disk. However, I keep getting an error saying the files are hardlinked. What should I do if I want to secure-delete the files anyway? (using mint 8)
[20:23] <mint> this is the error: " Wiping 'filename' Error: File 'filename' - file is hardlinked 1 time(s), skipping! "

[20:25] <mint> I've asked in the mint channels before, no response. Guess the 'ubuntu solution' should do just fine.
[20:25] <jazz> why isnt linux mint not suppoerted is it too new? or just to close to ubuntu ?
[20:25] <jken146> jazz: It's a different distro.
[20:26] <jken146> mint: I can't help you much more than suggesting you read the man page for srm
[20:26] <SpaceGhostC2C> Jazz because it's a different distro. As in, not the same dev team among other things.
[20:26] <troopperi> DarkKnight, have you cheched this http://www.ubuntugeek.com/simple-guide-to-sound-solutions-for-hardyintrepid-and-jaunty-jackalope-users.html
[20:26] <adamas> I have a new netbook, which do you recommend for it, UNR or Xubuntu?
[20:26] <mint> jken146: I've read 'man srm', without luck. Thanks tho.
[20:27] <adamas> which would be probably faster?
[20:27] <jazz> oh....
[20:27] <DarkKnight> troopperi: i will check later, alsamixer works, so i try something
[20:27] <SpaceGhostC2C> adamas, I'd prefer lubuntu.
[20:27] <troopperi> DarkKnight, great... :)
[20:27] <DarkKnight> troopperi: wooho, built-in speakers, works, i will try usb

[20:28] <louis> Is there no build of chrome/chromium for x86_64? Cant find one in repos.
[20:28] <t35t0r> I've got a dell insipiron 710m and trying to install ubuntu 9.04 i386. After I click install CD it does some stuff for a while, then it throws some python errors that flash by so quickly I can't see them and it drops me into a shell, why didn't the gui installer come up?
[20:28] <usuario_> hello carlos
[20:28] <usuario_> de donde eres
[20:29] <animeshmeher> t35t0r: can u boot into check without install
[20:29] <trism> louis: there is a 64 bit deb on the google chrome download page (which adds the google repos), I have no idea about chromium though
[20:30] <erUSUL> louis: there is a ppa i use with daily builds
[20:30] <erUSUL> !ppa | louis

[20:33] <e66> t35t0r: Thanks. Let me try
[20:33] <MrBliss> mint: first remove the linking file then you can remove de linked file
[20:33] <t35t0r> militant, obviously because there's a bug in hal/dbus or whatever is writing to those files
[20:34] <militant> t35t0r: ok, i don't know much/anything about those.  could you point me to a starting spot, what should i be looking for?
[20:34] <t35t0r> i have no idea
[20:34] <troopperi> DarkKnight, could you write to terminal?
[20:34] <t35t0r> but if you know about udev rules you might be able to figure out what's writing to those files
[20:34] <DarkKnight> troopperi: sure

[20:35] <militant> ok.  will check about that.  it *did* work on 9.04 and 9.10 initially but ahs gone wacky since, so it's possibly some buggy update

[20:41] <militant> t35t0r: thanks for pointing in the right direction.  google's not showing much for 'dbus duplicate entries' or anything else but it's a start
[20:41] <skopii> llutz: how come ubuntu no work with rooT?
[20:41] <animeshmeher> what??
[20:41] <subspider> what is the most used game CS style on ubuntu ??
[20:41] <SpaceGhostC2C> skopii, Well, you're doing something rather odd, and to change root's username you'd have to change it in /etc/shadow /etc/group /etc/passwd and possibly elsewhere.
[20:42] <llutz> skopii: some apps check for "root" not for (e)uid=0 so it won't work
[20:42] <zanberdo> llutz, thanks. btw, how do I discover the device associated with my modem/
[20:42] <zanberdo> ?

[20:47] <AlexSher> I understand that most likely it is something in alsa-base
[20:48] <capron> AlexSher,   lspci to get audio device and then googel that might help , Dont think somone her can help you
[20:48] <Pici> starbuck33: use -maxdepth 1 if you're going to be putting those files into a subdirectory of /path, see man find for more info
[20:48] <ZykoticK9> AlexSher, did you go to that link - it starts off "Please install linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic and reboot" but read the WHOLE thing!
[20:48] <starbuck33> Pici: thx, but can't this be done with ls and grep anyhow? just curious
[20:48] <MrBliss> starbuck33:  rename 'y/A-Z/a-z/' *
[20:49] <SpaceGhostC2C> rizitis, you don't have the small bar along the bottom of your screen?
[20:49] <rizitis> SpaceGhostC2C: nope
[20:49] <Pici> starbuck33: Yes, but not easily.
[20:49] <SpaceGhostC2C> rizitis, well mate, sorry about that. Good luck.
[20:49] <AlexSher> ZykoticK9 - I think so.. I will take a 2nd look at it
[20:49] <Pici> MrBliss: That would be for renaming them , not moving them.
[20:49] <rizitis> SpaceGhostC2C: ok thank you
[20:49] <starbuck33> ok, thx all
[20:49] <SpaceGhostC2C> rizitis, I can tell you that it starts muted.

[20:57] <`mOOse`> well he's right if a little crude about it
[20:57] <SpaceGhostC2C> besogon it seems to me that it has reference to dist-upgrades, which you can have checked if you want to upgrade to another version of ubuntu. I keep my karmic install with the check off.

[20:58] <xuser> brontosaurusrex: thanks
[20:58] <Besogon> SpaceGhostC2C: thanks
[20:58] <`mOOse`> yea brontosaurusrex  - the only problem is you have to install 3.6
[20:58] <`mOOse`> no thanks
[20:58] <yitz_> Given a kernel/initramfs/initmkcpio, can it be examined to determine what sort of drivers/modules/hooks it was compiled with?
[20:58] <SpaceGhostC2C> Besogon, no worries.
[20:59] <xuser> SpaceGhostC2C: there is ;-)
[20:59] <Mack> SpaceGhostC2C: i dont have it with me but it had something with disabled and netlinuxpolicy
[20:59] <SpaceGhostC2C> Mack, okay we'll need something a bit more specific about the error. Currently I'd assume it's either a wrong partition you're trying to mount or a wrong FS type.
[21:00] <Mack> SpaceGhostC2C: the computer i was using it on had a similar block in windows (although didn't block flash drives)
[21:00] <brontosaurusrex> `mOOse`: nope, its 3.5 irc
[21:00] <ZykoticK9> I don't know what package to file a bug under.  Gnome desktop background image on an nvidia twinview setup is showing 2 repeated images instead of 1 large image.  Could someone suggest what package I should file under?
[21:00] <AlexSher> ZykoticK9: read the thread again - nothing else but installing backports was listed there
[21:00] <Mack> SpaceGhostC2C: it was ubuntu 10.04, and a FAT32 drive
[21:00] <ZykoticK9> AlexSher, linux backports MIGHT get your alsa working!  that's why it's talking about it.
[21:00] <jeff__> hey folks, quick simple question. when i'm booted into the liveCD, can i install programs to use (e.g. antivirus)? if so, where does it install to?
[21:00] <SpaceGhostC2C> Mack, so can you paste the relevant line?
[21:01] <brontosaurusrex> `mOOse`: try http://www.alistapart.com/d/cssatten/poen.html
[21:01] <AlexSher> ZykoticK9: I know, I installed them - but it did not help
[21:01] <SpaceGhostC2C> jeff__, it installs to your ramdisk, located in your ram, it leaves when you reboot.
[21:01] <Mack> SpaceGhostC2C: well the computer was at school, and I'm at home now, so I don't have the exact message
[21:01] <AlexSher> I tried this two days ago already...
[21:01] <`mOOse`> k thanks brontosaurusrex
[21:01] <jeff__> SpaceGhostC2C: so i'm limited to the amount of ram i have as far as how large the programs i can install right?
[21:02] <gemini> HELP!!!!!!!!!
[21:02] <SpaceGhostC2C> jeff__, generally you have what you need on the livecd, what do you need to do?
[21:02] <ZykoticK9> AlexSher, sorry man i don't have the same hardware - but it's the same issue you are having is it not?  you should try adding yourself to that bug (will make Ubuntu better for everyone).
[21:02] <capron> gemini,  Haha what happen did ubuntu blow up
[21:02] <SpaceGhostC2C> gemini, please ask a question, don't just say help.
[21:02] <jeff__> SpaceGhostC2C: i'm install clamAV to scan a windows drive for viruses. is there a better way to do this?
[21:03] <WaltzingAlong> jeff__: that is the way i do it as well
[21:03] <gemini> ubuntu hasnt blown up but makes me wonder if im due o.o
[21:03] <AlexSher> ZykoticK9: yes, this is exactly the same issue
[21:03] <AlexSher> :(
[21:03] <SpaceGhostC2C> jeff__, that's a way you can do it. You can also use a ubuntu usb stick with clamav on it, and that way you don't need to reinstall it every boot.
[21:03] <SpaceGhostC2C> jeff__, especially since you have to have a internet connection each time you boot.
[21:03] <gemini> question: i downloaded the synaptics version of PSx emulator (playstation 1) and 1 game off a emuparadise and i dunno how to use it :c

[21:04] <capron> gemini,  Cool I will try this PSz emulator too
[21:05] <SpaceGhostC2C> capron, while the emulator may be legal, talk of piracy and other such illegal acts is not allowed here.
[21:05] <tetsuo_> Hey!, I need some help
[21:05] <gemini> im no pirate... i do have ps1 games in hand (baught) and psx also is sposed to emulate the ps1 from CD
[21:05] <gemini> and THAT dont work T_T
[21:05] <tetsuo_> Ubuntu won't let me set a higher resolution than 1024 x 780
[21:06] <zilkomaa> How do i remove unused shortcut from places menu panel?
[21:06] <WaltzingAlong> SpaceGhostC2C: i understand that part, just the text was missing the ? :D
[21:06] <vagvaf> hello, i have ubuntu 9.19 installed and while dropbox and ubuntu one used to work perfectly at some point they stopped connecting (and aren't able to connect). does any1 have any idea?
[21:06] <magnetron> tetsuo_: which graphics card are you using?
[21:06] <vagvaf> 9.10 :P
[21:06] <SpaceGhostC2C> WaltzingAlong, ah ha.
[21:06] <ChogyDan> SpaceGhostC2C: I think it's ok if he is asking how to use an ubuntu program, and is not asking how or where to pirate material
[21:06] <jp__> hi guys, I'm having this issue, http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=47084  any ideas in how to resolve it? I'd appreciate it so much, thanks!
[21:06] <tetsuo_> A pretty old one. It's a gforce 7200. I have a hd4670 but my power is not enough
[21:06] <keex> hello
[21:07] <SpaceGhostC2C> ChogyDan, not if he said he wants us to teach him how to use his pirated rom. We can't do that.
[21:07] <tetsuo_> is there a way to force it?
[21:07] <`mOOse`> the emulator's in synaptic...um....what's the issue here?
[21:07] <magnetron> tetsuo_: ok. try this: go to System menu > Administration > Hardware Drivers. make sure the recommended driver is selected
[21:07] <SpaceGhostC2C> `mOOse`, the part where he is using a pirated rom. Go get a legal one and come back.
[21:07] <ZykoticK9> testi, System / Admin / Hardware Drivers - do you see nvidia listed?  is it activated?
[21:07] <tetsuo_> k let me check magnetron
[21:08] <zilkomaa> It has shortcut named "storage" but i dont need it anymore just whines about already mounted that and thats true i just wanna remove it coz there r now 2 storage shortcuts and only one is working
[21:08] <linusoleander> daftykins: My java app works prefect in Debian, strange…
[21:08] <keex> is there a way to disable the behavior of aptitude to re-enable disabled services (disabled with update-rc.d remove) ?
[21:09] <tetsuo_> No, they are not the recommended ones, I activated the recommended ones and they are downloading
[21:09] <`mOOse`> SpaceGhostC2C, I didn't see the "I downloaded blah blah" part - sorry
[21:09] <guntbert> jp__: please tell us your issue here in the channel - you will get a much greater audience
[21:09] <jp__> ok guntbert
[21:09] <araceli> hola
[21:10] <SpaceGhostC2C> `mOOse`, no worries, just letting him know we can't talk about illegal acts and the such here.
[21:10] <`mOOse`> nod
[21:10] <llutz> keex: that's defined in *.postinst of the package.deb, aptitude cannot change it
[21:10] <araceli> hello
[21:10] <jazz> why does x chat blink when anyone in the chat room types anything? can i just change it for only when some one mentions  my  nick?
[21:10] <jp__> usplash  stops displaying at Setting preliminary keymap on Ubuntu 8.04, any ideas in how to make it last until the xserver starts?
[21:10] <Noble> How do I disable the "the disk is about to fail" message on startup? The disk is ok..
[21:10] <Noble> Cant find any entry in the desktop session thing
[21:11] <Laumonier> how can i see which graphic driver im currently using???glxinfo?????
[21:11] <capron>  Noble , Might help too disabel smart in BIOS
[21:11] <`mOOse`> jazz, ask in #xchat
[21:11] <guntbert> jazz: right click on the channel tab - extra alerts ...
[21:11] <keex> llutz, that's not so nice, but thanks for the head-up
[21:11] <magnetron> Noble: usually, the SMART messages you are talking about, are warning a few weeks before the disk fails
[21:12] <Noble> magnetron: Has been like that for about a year now..
[21:12] <magnetron> Noble: or hours. are you 100% sure that the disk won't fail soon?
[21:12] <Asad> anyone here experience random audio issues? Youtube audio stops working all of a sudden and then doesn't work unless I restart ubuntu
[21:12] <magnetron> Noble: and you don't have any damaged sectors?
[21:12] <Asad> sudo alsa reload doesn't help ..
[21:12] <skullcandy> hey guys, come across a little problem, does anyone know the terminal command to read txt files inside the terminal? i do not remember
[21:12] <Asad> although amarok (esound?) continues wokring
[21:12] <jazz> thanks both of youse for room link and sugestion.
[21:12] <guntbert> skullcandy: less
[21:12] <llutz> skullcandy: less, more, cat
[21:12] <BluesKaj> skullcandy, sudo nano
[21:13] <kenneth|work> nano, vi, emacs
[21:13] <magnetron> Asad: try killing pulseaudio, that will restart alot of the sound subsystem
[21:13] <guntbert> BluesKaj: thats not needed
[21:13] <Noble> magnetron: I have lots of damaged sectors on a ntfs filesystem on this drive. However its not an option to reinstall that partition because its my sisters school computer, and her admin is a tard.
[21:13] <kenneth|work> @skullcandy: less is more!
[21:13] <cmar> NICK test_nick
[21:13] <guntbert> cmar: use #test please
[21:13] <BluesKaj> yeah, guntbert , just a knee jerk reaction :)
[21:13] <Noble> magnetron: so it would basically help to just disable whatever deamon is giving me this warning, if its not system critical to have it running.
[21:14] <capron> Asad I experienced that the sound ca mute for no resone.
[21:14] <Asad> no capron .. it's not muted.. it's showing full in the mixer
[21:14] <pusher420> im tryin to move a file that is 33 gigs but I keep getting an error saying that the file is to large to move??
[21:14] <Asad> and it says it's using alsa
[21:14] <guntbert> BluesKaj: but it is a *bad habit* to use sudo for everything - and we don't want others to assume it :)
[21:15] <llutz> pusher420: move to vfat?
[21:15] <Noble> Anyone know what deamon is giving me the errors of hdd failure?
[21:15] <BluesKaj> guntbert,ok already
[21:15] <llutz> Noble: smartd
[21:15] <Asad> lol magnetron .. after killing pulseaudio and starting the service again, now firefox doesn't even appear in that gnome audio applet's "Applications" tab (the mixer?)
[21:15] <pusher420> llutz: yes
[21:16] <Noble> llutz: Where does ubuntu keep its startup deamons listed? Arch uses rc.conf.
[21:16] <llutz> pusher420: vfat has 4GB filesize-limit
[21:16] <llutz> Noble: /etc/init.d /etc/event.d
[21:17] <magnetron> Noble: you will probably get more damaged sectors soon, i recommend you backup any important documents (such as school work).
[21:17] <magnetron> Noble: to disable the messages, you could perhaps uninstall smartmontools or smart-notifier (if they are installed)
[21:17] <capron> Nobel you also what too run a full long smart check too see if it says okey
[21:17] <pusher420> llutz: is there a format that doesnt have a filesize-limit?
[21:18] <ChogyDan> Noble: I've heard that if you get even a few damaged sectors, the drive is toast
[21:18] <llutz> pusher420: ntfs/ext
[21:18] <magnetron> Asad: i don't recommend that you start pulseaudio manually
[21:18] <llutz> pusher420: still limits, but much higher
[21:18] <magnetron> Asad: basically, that won't work
[21:19] <jeff__> SpaceGhostC2C, WaltzingAlong: thanks, i got it working. it's my friend's comp, so i dont' have a live stick ready, but it's scanning now :)
[21:19] <pusher420> llutz: damn damn, ive spent the last four days downloading some wpa rainbow tables, guess ill have to start over
[21:19] <Noble> Its my sisters laptop, and they use terminal server for docs and stuff. Basicly I don't wanna nuke the windows install even though ubuntu has a terminal server client. As I said, the admin is a tard and would probably die of high blod pressure if he was unable to clicky click in windows.
[21:19] <trism> Noble: in the disk utility, if you select More Information... for the disk, there is a check box to disable the warnings
[21:20] <Noble> trism: gonna check ty
[21:20] <capron> pusher420, Did you not use torrent ?
[21:20] <dbooth> Printer Manager problem: The Printer Manager window does not come up when I try to start it.  An icon shows for a few seconds in the task bar, then disappears.  I'm on 9.10, starting it from the decktop menu: System->Administration->Printing.  I see the same problem reported here, with no answers: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=456991  Any ideas?
[21:20] <Trinity33> hi everyone
[21:20] <pusher420> capron: yes i used torrent
[21:21] <Noble> trism: Ty that helped. If the disk dies she'll get a new on the warranty. And the docs are on the school server :)
[21:21] <capron> pusher420, Why do you have too start over then ?
[21:21] <cielparis> the love is that we shere is the must beautyfull thing in the world
[21:21] <guntbert> !ot | cielparis
[21:21] <pusher420> capron, im tryin to copy all my data to an external hard drive so I can format
[21:22] <capron> pusher420, Is it this 4G fat problem ?
[21:23] <araceli> hello
[21:23] <pusher420> capron, yes, the file size is roughly 33 gigs
[21:23] <araceli> mi name is araceli
[21:23] <llutz> pusher420: split the file
[21:23] <zilkomaa> '/home/zilkomaa/storage/series/Sons.of.Anarchy.S02E12.The.Culling.HDTV.XviD-FQM.avi' '/home/zilkomaa/storage/series/Sons.of.Anarchy.S02E12.The.Culling.HDTV.XviD-FQM.avi'
[21:23] <zilkomaa> sry
[21:24] <zilkomaa> This ubuntu is greatest distro ever..have to hype it
[21:24] <capron> pusher420, I sure there are some way you can do, So you dont have to download 4 days again
[21:24] <noise__> i want to creabe websites ,in linux,but i dsont know what kind of programms should i use?!
[21:25] <pusher420> llutz, good idea i guess ill try that
[21:25] <crazygir> hiya! so I just ran a set of updates and rebooted.. somewhere along the line, grub's configuration was goofed up such that it isn't able to find *any* of the kernels in /boot
[21:25] <crazygir> where do I begin trying to fix this?
[21:25] <xevil> noise: KompoZer will do that
[21:26] <joebodo> !grub
[21:26] <crazygir> I'm wondering if the uuid is off.. but the ubuntu livecd doesn't have the vol_id program
[21:26] <arand> crazygir: boot up a liveCD (this is not wubi?)
[21:26] <crazygir> arand: I'm in the ubuntu live cd
[21:26] <magnetron> crazygir: you can use the blkid program instead
[21:27] <magnetron> crazygir: type "sudo blkid" in a terminal
[21:27] <zilkomaa> crazygir: do u send a pic of ur weener if i help u?
[21:27] <xfact> I were trying to install 'elementary desktop' and now I the <username> menu at the top main panel disappeared and I cannot shut down/ restart my PC, How to take it back?
[21:27] <SpaceGhostC2C> !ops | zilkomaa
[21:27] <arand> crazygir: Do you use wubi?
[21:27] <crazygir> arand: not sure what wubi is
[21:27] <crazygir> zilkomaa: yes, because there is an "l" in my nick
[21:28] <zilkomaa> crazygir: u r kidding me
[21:28] <zilkomaa> crazygir: thats so sweet,,
[21:28] <crazygir> y r u ask?
[21:28] <SpaceGhostC2C> zilkomaa, you're being innapropriate here. Drop it.
[21:28] <xfact> I were trying to install 'elementary desktop' and now I the <username> menu at the top main panel disappeared and I cannot shut down/ restart my PC, How to take it back? at least tell me how restart and shut down my computer now, it is important :(
[21:29] <brontosaurusrex> noise_: what kind of page? static dinamic?
[21:29] <jp__> hi guys. I'm trying to fix the width and height of a firefox window using the command line, but it won't work using for example "firefox -width 720 -height 480"
[21:29] <noise_> hehe i dont know
[21:29] <jp__> ouch, seems to be a bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/mozilla-firefox/+bug/5104
[21:29] <jp__> it says: was fixed with the initial release of Firefox 3.5
[21:29] <arand> crazygir: wubi installs ubuntu "inside" windows, that's noth the case here right?
[21:29] <jp__> but I'm running 3.5.3 and it is still not working
[21:29] <joebodo> xfact, add the indicator applet session
[21:30] <crazygir> arand: windows isn't at all involved
[21:30] <crazygir> I abhor the idea
[21:30] <crazygir> :P
[21:30] <crazygir> I think the volids were goofed
[21:30] <brontosaurusrex> noise_: you can use any text editor to learn some html, its not hard, example: <a href="http://ubuntu.com">hello world!</a>
[21:30] <Sintax`> i'm wondering if someone can assist me with a fairly simple problem, i'm trying to run Realflow on my ubuntu machine (9.10), and i'm getting libstdc++.so.5 cannot open shared object file, but .6 exists in /usr/lib, what might i need to do to fix this
[21:30] <xfact> joebodo, Thank god! Thanks a lot :D
[21:30] <joebodo> xfact, np
[21:30] <brontosaurusrex> noise_: save that as hello.htm and your good to go from there one
[21:30] <brontosaurusrex> *on
[21:30] <magnetron> crazygir: could you see the UUIDs using blkid?
[21:30] <zilkomaa> Ok sorry for my retarded actions
[21:31] <arand> crazygir: ok, good :) Then it should be a simple matter of reinstalling grub, When you boot does the grub menu show up?
[21:31] <crazygir> magnetron: yep
[21:31] <crazygir> does this look correct?
[21:32] <crazygir> /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-18-generic root=UUID=fe604d76-bbd0-4a2e-984d-5c4692a29421 ro quiet splash
[21:32] <crazygir> arand: reinstall grub?
[21:32] <crazygir> yes, the menu does show up?
[21:33] <SpaceGhostC2C> zilkomaa, yeah, they were quite silly IMO. Did you actually need help, or do you just need a way to get your rocks off?
[21:33] <arand> crazygir: But it doesn't start when you chose a menu alternative?
[21:33] <rug> xfact: try hitting ctrl + alt + backspace to restart the X-server
[21:33] <crazygir> grub isn't able to find the file
[21:33] <brontosaurusrex> Sintax`: what are ppl from nextlimit saying about your problem?
[21:33] <SpaceGhostC2C> Rug, that doesn't work on jaunty and newer.
[21:33] <crazygir> arand: are you suggesting I just reinstall grub?
[21:34] <crazygir> that'll figure out which kernels are available and their mapping?
[21:34] <arand> crazygir: So grub gives that error message "unable to open file" or something like that?
[21:34] <rizitis> I asked somthing about open box and the sound before 20` and somebondy say that he had the same problem, If he is online just run sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart and then open alsamixergui
[21:34] <Rug> SpaceGhostC2C: Really?  Oops sorry
[21:34] <Sintax`> They have a FAQ page ive seen linked in numerous forum posts fixing the only other common problem which is to comment out a kernel line in the binary, the stdc++ error is not detailed on how to solve
[21:34] <rizitis> alsamixergui
[21:34] <crazygir> arand: yes
[21:34] <xfact> rug, nothing happened....
[21:34] <arand> crazygir: It should.
[21:34] <crazygir> should?
[21:34] <crazygir> :P
[21:34] <capron> crazygir, You dont have to reinstall ,  But do a reconfig using grub-update
[21:34] <Rug> xfact: Sorry I guess I am an old fart who doesn't keep track of the new toys
[21:34] <Rug> =)
[21:34] <SpaceGhostC2C> xfact, open a terminal and type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[21:34] <arand> crazygir: Also are you using grub2 (fresh install of karmic) or grub-legacy (basically any other case)
[21:34] <SpaceGhostC2C> Rug, no worries, I just wanted you to know.
[21:35] <rizitis> alsamixergui and clik at the speaker to made them green
[21:35] <Sintax`> also, they link to n rpmfind.net page with compat-libstdc++ rpm, for fedora/asplinux, not sure if thatll work on ubuntu or which on
[21:35] <ubuntu> hi
[21:35] <arand> capron: We're in a liveCD.
[21:35] <xfact> SpaceGhostC2C,  thanks
[21:35] <crazygir> arand: there is no grub-update on the livecd
[21:35] <ubuntu> blablabla
[21:35] <xfact> !hi | ubuntu
[21:36] <zilkomaa> SpaceGhostC2C: yes i have i guestion, how can i get screen size to fit perfectly in tv im using component in tv out and play is vlc player?
[21:36] <SpaceGhostC2C> !ask | ubuntu
[21:36] <crazygir> arand: I'm going to reboot to test fixing the UUID, I'm in IRC via screen on another server, so I won't go anywhere but will be back in a few
[21:36] <capron> arand,  she can mount it and then chroot ,,,, ,   Then run grub-update
[21:36] <kenneth|work> @Rug: I am pretty that can be turned on by removing DontZap from the X config.
[21:36] <zilkomaa> SpaceGhostC2C: screen moves when i move my mouse in tv screen
[21:37] <crazygir> there's no "l" in my nick!!
[21:37] <crazygir> capron: and you can speak directly to me..
[21:37] <crazygir> :P
[21:37] <SpaceGhostC2C> zilkomaa, I don't have any experience using TV's
[21:37] <Joss_> problem with compiz !
[21:38] <zilkomaa> SpaceGhostC2C: u dont use tv out for wathching movies?
[21:38] <arand> capron: crazygir: Yea, but I figured a grub-install would be just as simple (and I think it's better documented=
[21:38] <Pablillo> qen es del vigen de la cabeza?
[21:38] <zilkomaa> SpaceGhostC2C: i don think so
[21:38] <Roasted> if I have 7 and OSX installed on a macbook pro, and I install ubuntu, will grub auto pick up OSX? I know itll pick up 7 but what about oSX?
[21:39] <trism> kenneth|work: that option was removed from xorg in the version that is in karmic, see https://wiki.edubuntu.org/X/Config/DontZap for alternate methods
[21:39] <ikonia> Roasted: grub will have problems with efi
[21:39] <ikonia> Roasted: you need to install grub to the partition then use bootcamp to boot that partition
[21:39] <kenneth|work> @trism: Thanks for the heads up.
[21:39] <Roasted> ikonia, so ultimately bootcamp is the boot loader to use for a tri boot, and not grub?
[21:39] <ikonia> Roasted: unless you want to dump efi
[21:40] <Guest97321> i have dual screens under mint, and when i have installed nvidia drivers, but when i come to enable my display i have an error come up saying the xorg.conf does not validate
[21:40] <kenneth|work> Roasted: Technically speaking, EFI is the boot manager; Bootcamp is simply an app to assist in the installation of Windows.
[21:40] <capron> crazygir, It is not that simpel too use a live CD and reconfig grub ,  But there are good tutorials for this
[21:41] <dbooth> Pablillo, english please: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines?action=show&redirect=IrcGuidelines
[21:41] <lacita> A little offtopic, but does anyone know anything about harddrive recovery? Thanks.
[21:41] <kenneth|work> lacita: Does the HD still spin up?
[21:42] <capron> lacita, can you see your HD in BIOS ?
[21:42] <SpaceGhostC2C> zilkomaa, actually I never watch tv. I play PS2 every once and a while. I don't use my computer with my tv. I don't use it.
[21:42] <lacita> kenneth|work: Yes, I accidentally rewrote the paetition table...
[21:42] <capron> lacita, If not you can kind off forget to do a recovery
[21:42] <zilkomaa> SpaceGhostC2C: Okay. Guess i'll have to believe you.
[21:42] <lacita> capron: Yes, the drive is physically fine. I accidentally rewrote the partition table...
[21:43] <paulmadej> can someone tell me how to set my hostname? its currently ubuntu.ubuntu-domain
[21:43] <Wandergeselle> #crazygir Why not just install ubuntu ??
[21:43] <capron> lacita,  Then you shud make a image file of your disk en save it on a bigger disk
[21:44] <brontosaurusrex> paulmadej: 'hostname --h'
[21:44] <mre1f> paulmadej, change the content of /etc/hostname .. and to change without a reboot "hostname <name>"
[21:44] <arand> Wandergeselle: I think you've misunderstood the issue...
[21:44] <capron> lacita, dd , dd_flac is good image tools
[21:44] <Wandergeselle> Ok..
[21:45] <lacita> capron: I'm trying that right now.
[21:45] <kenneth|work> lacita: I suggest checking out http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/docs/howto/other-formats/html_single/Partition-Rescue.html
[21:46] <kenneth|work> it appears you may be able to respecify the partitions with gpart
[21:46] <lacita> kenneth|work: Thanks.
[21:46] <kenneth|work> lacita: Good Luck. I hope you get your data back.
[21:48] <capron> lacita, to make a image is the safe , But only there is a good tool for fixing partions tabel belive it is gpart
[21:49] <arand> lacita: otherwise testdisk is a dedicated partiton table rescue application
[21:50] <Guest97321> can anyone help with this error please "Failed to parse existing X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'!"?
[21:50] <ikonia> Guest97321: is there a config file there
[21:50] <Guest97321> ikonia: yes
[21:50] <ikonia> Guest97321: ok, it can see it, so there must be an error in it
[21:51] <Guest97321> ikonia: shall i pastebin you the config file?

[21:52] <Guest97321> ikonia:  i have 2 screens and when i come to save after i enabled my 2nd screen it wont let me write to the xorg file
[21:52] <brontosaurusrex> is there a way to do system partition backup with system running?
[21:52] <ikonia> Guest97321: ahh, you need to be root to write to that config file
[21:53] <ikonia> brontosaurusrex: not wise with open files
[21:53] <Guest97321> i use sudo nvidia setttings
[21:53] <jordy240> hi. I installed a printer drivers from a deb package and not I don't install/update anything!! I get this error: http://pastebin.com/m3dd0f89a
[21:53] <brontosaurusrex> ikonia: so boot with something like clonzilla and ... ?
[21:53] <ikonia> Guest97321: I'd double check that, doesn't look like you did
[21:53] <ikonia> brontosaurusrex: just a live cd and dd will normally do it
[21:54] <brontosaurusrex> whats dd ikonia ?
[21:54] <ikonia> brontosaurusrex: a block copy command
[21:54] <lacita> arand: I'm just starting up testdisk... Hopefully, this will work.

[21:55] <Guest97321>        configuration file '/root/.nvidia-settings-rc' (no Display connection)."
[21:55] <ikonia> brontosaurusrex: if you have a network access
[21:55] <ikonia> Guest97321: why are you "root"
[21:55] <capron> brontosaurusrex,  if the hardisk is readonly it shud work , using dd
[21:55] <ikonia> Guest97321: you should be using sudo
[21:55] <Guest97321> and when i try to save toe xorg.conf file i get this "OR: Unable to assign attribute XVideoSyncToDisplay specified on line 53 of
[21:55] <Guest97321>        configuration file '/root/.nvidia-settings-rc' (no Display connection)."
[21:55] <Guest97321> ive tried both
[21:55] <ikonia> Guest97321: you shoulnd't be running as root
[21:56] <Guest97321> im not now, that isnt the problem
[21:56] <ikonia> Guest97321: I didn't say it was the problem
[21:56] <Guest97321> the problem is the xorg file
[21:56] <ikonia> Guest97321: I would rmeove /root/.nvidia-settings-rc and start again

[22:01] <arand> lacita: so where in testdisk are you unsure?
[22:01] <ikonia> diddy: looks like your usb bus support is poor
[22:01] <lacita> arand: menu options. See above.

[22:03] <lacita> "
[22:03] <sohrab> hi alll
[22:03] <brontosaurusrex> D_K_2: the behaviour you want should be the default

[22:07] <tetsuo_> Hello, I can't set a higher resolution. When I tried to check if I have the right drivers, it gets stuck. It seems there's a bug in driver 185 for nvidia 7025. Can anybody help?
[22:07] <sohrab> noone know about that i said
[22:07] <ikonia> sohrab: you had 3 problems but gave no details on any
[22:07] <lacita> arand: This is going to take a bit. <4% currently.
[22:08] <sohrab> 1 about wine i cat run ultrasurf on it
[22:08] <arand> lacita: yea, depending on the size of disk I presume.
[22:08] <ikonia> !appdb
[22:08] <sohrab> 2 about wireshark all of my device its known as usb device (not eth)
[22:08] <ikonia> sohrab: check tha tlinks to see if it's supported
[22:08] <MightyTweek> tetsuo_: I've had issues with an old nvidia card where X couldn't pick up the EDID from the video card for some reason. Workaround is to manually specify the monitor frequency ranges in the xorg.conf
[22:09] <ikonia> sohrab: is your wirless card supported also ?
[22:09] <jp--> anyone know how can I test the acceleration of my nvidia card?
[22:09] <sohrab> 3 pppoe on network manager not working on broadband
[22:09] <polycha> erm, I'd like to ask for sth
[22:09] <ikonia> sohrab: are you trying to use the network card that you say is not working in point 2 ?
[22:10] <sohrab> i must sudo pppoeconf on terminal and then restart machine tik working
[22:10] <polycha> any possibility of:P?
[22:10] <sohrab> untik*
[22:10] <sohrab> until*
[22:10] <polycha> I've just installed ubuntu 9.10, and it's my first time with Linux
[22:10] <polycha> do I need to apply any drivers or shit?
[22:10] <ikonia> sohrab: are you using the wirless usb card
[22:10] <ikonia> polycha: please control your language
[22:10] <sohrab> ?
[22:10] <kenneth|work> polycha: Are things working for you?
[22:10] <polycha> mt bad
[22:10] <polycha> my*
[22:11] <polycha> watch your language you mean btw:P?
[22:11] <ikonia> sohrab: you said in wireshark your usb wirless card is showing up as a usb drive, rather then a wirless card
[22:11] <polycha> everything I need to know is if I need to install any kind of drivers, as I got my linux on lenovo s10 - a small netbook
[22:11] <ikonia> polycha: if everything is supported and working, then no
[22:12] <umakant> Info:      Processes 142 Uptime 9:41 Memory 574.5/2004.2MB Client X-Chat 2.8.6 inxi 1.2.6
[22:12] <polycha> any possiblity of getting the sys optimized then:P?
[22:12] <polycha> working slow for me
[22:13] <kenneth|work> polycha: What do you mean it's working slow? Are applications not responding to input? Is start-up / shutdown taking a long time?
[22:13] <sohrab> by alll
[22:13] <polycha> they do, they respond
[22:13] <kenneth|work> polycha: That's good.
[22:14] <polycha> but I used to work on XP before, and it looks like they were doing way more better than on linux
[22:14] <polycha> apps I mean:)
[22:14] <tosspro> say i have this long running process that i execute in the following fashion (php server.php)
[22:14] <tosspro> how do i turn that into /etc/init.d/phpserver start
[22:14] <tosspro> and make sure there's only one instance at anytime
[22:15] <tosspro> like a singleton
[22:15] <tosspro> but for that process
[22:15] <tosspro> do i need to start storing the pid or something?
[22:15] <tosspro> am i on the right tracK?
[22:15] <tosspro> sorry if the questino is noobish
[22:15] <Plag> can anyone tell me why the 'enter' key freezes my system after dist-upgrading to lucid
[22:16] <cyphase> say i have 2 copies of some directory (we'll call them DirA and DirB), and i change the directory hierarchy inside one of the directories (DirA).. can i use rsync (or some other tool) to synchronize DirB to DirA without having to copy files that are already there, just in a different subfolder?
[22:16] <xfact> What is the default theme of Ubuntu Karmic Koala?
[22:17] <BluesKaj> Plag, I believe there's bug been reported on that issue at launchpad
[22:17] <trijntje> !enter | tosspro
[22:17] <Plag> BluesKaj: any known workaround?
[22:17] <BluesKaj> dunno, Plag , it's quite recent
[22:18] <xfact> Can anyone kindly tell me, what is default theme Ubuntu Karmic Koala?  I can subscribe, at least..
[22:18] <arand> xfact: no, sorry, human it is
[22:19] <xfact> arand, Human. ok
[22:19] <mido> which package should i use to run my webcam?
[22:19] <brontosaurusrex> tosspro: irc thats how would one do a cron for a bot check irc, check if there is a pid and then run the bot if there isnt any
[22:19] <brontosaurusrex> tosspro: like a cron that checks every 15 minutes
[22:19] <arand> mido: cheese is one option
[22:20] <Blue1> dunno where to ask this question - does anyone know how to get the facebook plugin for pidgin to work?  it says it's unable to retrive  the buddy list...thanks...
[22:20] <SpaceGhostC2C> That's a lot of joins.
[22:20] <zizo> ciao
[22:21] <tosspro> brontosaurusrex: but i'd also like an init.d script so i could restart the server on cap deploy
[22:21] <SpaceGhostC2C> Blue1, http://code.google.com/p/pidgin-facebookchat/

[22:24] <larard> Hi, Can anyone point me to a tool to downsample a video so it is suitable for emailing. It is only 12 seconds long but 48MB in size (made with a camera)
[22:24] <arand> lacita: hrm, so much for "quick" search...
[22:24] <lacita> arand: right.
[22:25] <lacita> arand: Looking through my backup, I have a screenshot of the drive before it was wiped.
[22:26] <bobbyyu> Hey guys, where is the cache directory of Ubuntu 9.10; I want to install Samba offline
[22:26] <SpaceGhostC2C> bobbyyu, you mean the aptitude cache?
[22:26] <bobbyyu> Yeah
[22:26] <warrio01> hooola
[22:26] <warrio01> una chica ahora
[22:26] <arand> lacita: If you know the exact block geometry, you'd be able to restore from that I guess, otherwise it might be a good guide when testdisk finds things, to figure out which ones are the correct suggestions
[22:27] <Pe3k> hello, I can ping any ip address in internet, but can't ping any hostname, who can help? in /etc/resolv.conf I have nameserver <IPaddress> where it is verified working dns server
[22:27] <bobbyyu> Spaceghost: I mean the Aptitude Cache.
[22:28] <lacita> arand: There were 4 partitions on the drive originally, 1) unallocated 3.91GB(boot?), 2) Linux-swap, 3) unallocated 6.14GB, and most interestingly 4) 9.17.82GB Unknown (TrueCrypt sector). I don't know the exact block geometry :(
[22:28] <ikonia> Pe3k: do "nslookup", then "server $ipaddress_of_working_dns_server" then type in a hostname to lookup
[22:28] <__lupo__> does anybody knows how to mount a googledocs drive in ubuntu ?
[22:29] <bobbyyu> What is the path name?
[22:29] <lacita> arand: Considering the original 4 partitions, testdisk has found 5: 1 Linux-Swap, and 4 MS Data... I see that 2 of the MS Data's are boot....
[22:29] <ZykoticK9> __lupo__, have you seen http://code.google.com/p/gdocsfs/ (i'm about to try it)
[22:30] <guest_> any one have a hp pavilllion dv600
[22:30] <ikonia> guest_: ask your real question
[22:30] <__lupo__> ZykoticK9:  this i havent... lets see it this one works.. :
[22:30] <__lupo__> ZykoticK9: thanks
[22:32] <arand> lacita: it will often find duplicates/overlaps in partitions, you'll have to choose the ones that correspond to the original state from it's suggestions... I'm not sure how truecrypt does things, hopefully it doesn't do anything special with the partiton table (I guess it shouldn't), in that case testdisk might not be able to recover it...
[22:33] <Pe3k> ikonia: thanks, I found out with nslookup that I did not have good address of dns server :) now it is already ok
[22:33] <ZykoticK9> __lupo__, i'm not sure what "/path/to/gdocsfs/home" would refer to?
[22:33] <ikonia> Pe3k: well done
[22:35] <bikcmp> Hello all, Having some issues with ubuntu.  How do I make a user and home folder via ssh.

[22:37] <bikcmp> the command useradd --home=/home/seven/ --shell=/bin/bash

[22:39] <joebodo> !fu | SpaceGhostC2C
[22:39] <bikcmp> blondincx: hello
[22:39] <ikonia> joebodo: stop that now
[22:40] <blondincx> I've got a stupid question, maybe somebody has a smart answer
[22:40] <SpaceGhostC2C> blondincx, what is the question?
[22:40] <blondincx> I'm running Crunchbang, based on Ubuntu 7.10
[22:40] <ikonia> blondincx: that's not supported here
[22:41] <blondincx> so that's why I can't run apt-get, and synaptic can't reload de depositories?
[22:41] <ikonia> blondincx: that's not supported here
[22:42] <SpaceGhostC2C> blondincx, basically it's not something we support here. We can't really give you reliable advice as it isn't just not our flavour, we're not allowed. It's offtopic here.
[22:42] <blondincx> ok, got it. Do you only support 8 release and further?
[22:42] <Celtic> what is crunchbang?
[22:43] <Celtic> cool name..
[22:43] <Celtic> :)
[22:43] <Roasted> does anybody know the name of that program in ubuntu that allows you to edit /etc/fstab in a GUI instead of the gedit text mode?
[22:43] <ardchoille> blondincx: We support Ubuntu
[22:43] <ikonia> blondincx: crunchbag is not support, it has it's own resources
[22:43] <ikonia> Roasted: no, it's just a text file
[22:43] <ZykoticK9> Roasted, i didn't know there was one...
[22:43] <Celtic> Roasted: 'vi'
[22:43] <blondincx> ok! I thought the pb was the version!
[22:44] <Roasted> ZykoticK9, yeah, there is... I forget the name... it has the letter P in it if I remember.
[22:44] <Roasted> Celtic, no, vi is a text editor. This was an actual program with a GUI.
[22:44] <bostrt> is there a reason why f-spot doesn't run when i am using the New Wave gtk theme
[22:44] <bostrt> ..well i know theres a reason, what is it?
[22:44] <blondincx> Celtic : Crunchbang is a distro based on Ubuntu, with a light gnome desktop
[22:45] <bostrt> blondincx, i thought i was openbox
[22:45] <blondincx> Runs well, but Ubuntu's much easier to use
[22:45] <SpaceGhostC2C> blondincx, it's a distro of ubuntu. Some special flavour not supported here.
[22:45] <blondincx> sorry, my mistake: it IS open box
[22:45] <Celtic> Roasted: not sure.. the vi comment was sarchasm. I think webmin www.webmin.com will help with changing/managing filesystems.. but you really should do it manualy so you know what is going on.
[22:45] <SpaceGhostC2C> Then my comment is wrong too.
[22:45] <lacita> arand: ~18/19% right now... It's taken about 40 minutes to aquire ~10%... This is going to trake hours. In other news, there are 2 more partitions(?) found... an unknown (Truecrypt?), and a Mac HFS...
[22:45] <joebodo> bostrt, try starting it from command line to see if it shows any error messsages
[22:45] <ikonia> Celtic: webmin is not supported at all, please don't recommnd it
[22:45] <SpaceGhostC2C> Celtic, evidently we're not supposed to use webmin in ubuntu anymore, I don't know hwy.
[22:45] <ikonia> Roasted: webmin won't work
[22:46] <Roasted> Celtic, oh, Im doing it manually as we speak. :) I just wanted my memory to be refreshed to that program so I could test it out on my spare Ubuntu rig here and really test how it works.
[22:46] <ZykoticK9> Celtic, you shouldn't suggest WebMin - it isn't supported on debian/ubuntu anymore
[22:46] <Celtic> lol
[22:46] <SpaceGhostC2C> ikonia, it works, just no support.
[22:46] <ikonia> SpaceGhostC2C: security risk and doesn't work with all the config files
[22:46] <ikonia> SpaceGhostC2C: it doesn't work properly
[22:46] <Roasted> Celtic, I always do this way manually... mounting my drives via UUID in fstab.
[22:46] <bostrt> joebodo, gives me a gdkpixbuf-warning
[22:46] <SpaceGhostC2C> ikonia, ooh, didn't know about the security flaws. Other than that, it imght be me not using all the features.
[22:46] <Celtic> that's unfortunate. that webmin isn't supported. It's a great all around system management tool. If I'm not using the command line, it's the way to go.
[22:46] <jolaren> I recently got an invite to use the Lanscape application for Ubuntu Server, is it worth having is my question
[22:47] <Celtic> what is the equiv. of webmin? that IS supported?
[22:47] <ikonia> jolaren: if you have an estate, yes
[22:47] <Celtic> let me guess... nothing?
[22:47] <ikonia> Celtic: ebox is closest
[22:47] <Celtic> *sigh*
[22:47] <jolaren> ikonia; estate?
[22:48] <ikonia> jolaren: server estate
[22:48] <jolaren> ikonia; ofcourse.. but I'm just wondering if its that good
[22:48] <Celtic> later all.
[22:48] <ikonia> if you have an estate, it's good, if you have a few machines it's poor due to the setup overhead
[22:50] <XRU1> anyone around to help with some wireless network issues
[22:50] <SpaceGhostC2C> There is that silly splunk programs.
[22:53] <ZykoticK9> conky system monitor appears under wallpaper draw by Compiz/Wallpaper tool - when switching to 3d cube, I can see conky - but the rest of the time it's hidden.  Ideas?
[22:53] <blondincx> thank you, good bye all
[22:53] <jason_> hey
[22:53] <jrib> hi jason_
[22:53] <jason_> i'm kinda newbish to ubuntu and having an error
[22:54] <jason_> i can't seem to open a few programs
[22:54] <jason_> i tried from root and this error came up
[22:54] <jason_> Could not initialize GStreamer: Error re-scanning registry , child terminated by signal
[22:54] <SpaceGhostC2C> !ask | jason_
[22:54] <jrib> jason_: on irc, it's best to just get right to the point, providing all the details (and on one line)
[22:54] <jason_> oh sorry
[22:54] <SpaceGhostC2C> No worries friend.
[22:55] <joebodo> SpaceGhostC2C, "No worries, friend."
[22:55] <SpaceGhostC2C> joebodo, did you need anything, or just quoting?
[22:55] <vinse> in general is it better to install stuff via apt-get? like i can install google chrome just by downloading it from my browser, is there a reason not to do that?
[22:56] <jrib> vinse: yes, it's better to use apt-get.  You get automatic updates
[22:56] <SpaceGhostC2C> vinse you have to add the repository for chrome to use apt-get, which is better, IMO
[22:56] <XRU1> newb to xubuntu here and having issues with my wireless network.. i can connect to an unsecure connection with no problems but when i try to connect to my router and i enter the password it wont connect.. (yes its the right password cause my other laptop with MScrap on it connects using the same password)
[22:56] <vinse> SpaceGhostC2C: "add the repository" ?
[22:56] <SpaceGhostC2C> actionParsnip! Hey!
[22:56] <actionParsnip> yo yo yo
[22:56] <jason_> is there anyone who can help me with my error? :)
[22:56] <tp43> is there a way to run top with colour?
[22:57] <SpaceGhostC2C> vinse, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8476058
[22:57] <jrib> tp43: use htop
[22:57] <SpaceGhostC2C> tp43, use htop
[22:57] <SpaceGhostC2C>  jrib you win
[22:57] <tp43> thanks
[22:57] <jrib> SpaceGhostC2C: yes, you are too slow!
[22:57] <actionParsnip> jason_: sup?
[22:57] <SpaceGhostC2C> jason_, try restating your question on one line this time.
[22:57] <joebodo> vinse, Ubunut Tweak is a very easy program for adding 3rd party sources / apps
[22:58] <jason_> so, i tried to open amsn, rythymbox, and a few other programs, but i can't seem to be able to, i went to root, and when i did sudo amsn, it came out with this: Could not initialize GStreamer: Error re-scanning registry , child terminated by signal
[22:58] <zleap> cool
[22:58] <tp43> man ... gnome is awesome, I got cairo-dock, and screenlets.  But one funny thing is, you can't remove the last gnone panel
[22:58] <jrib> tp43: don't run gnome-panel if you don't want it
[22:58] <zleap> i don't think its a good idea to run amsn as root
[22:58] <actionParsnip> jason_: sudo is NOT for gui apps
[22:58] <zleap> or anything as root unless its designed for root
[22:59] <tp43> jrib, well, I removed the one panel, but the last one won't remove.  When I right click, the option to remove panel is faded.
[22:59] <jrib> tp43: look at what I said :)
[22:59] <jason_> i don't run it from root normally
[22:59] <geirha> XRU1: Which release? and WEP or WPA?
[23:00] <tp43> Another thing, on the gnome panel, the power option has sleep and hibernate, but on cairo-dock it doesn't.  Is there a way to use those gnome panel launchers and stuff in cairo-dock.  I tried I couldn't
[23:00] <jason_> i tried to open it via gui, but at the bottom it says starting amsn, and the other programs i'm having errors with and then the box dissapears, and it doesn't open
[23:00] <actionParsnip> jason_: what issue do you get when you run it normally?
[23:00] <tp43> jrib, I have it set to autohide
[23:00] <jrib> tp43: yes, but I am asking why run gnome-panel at all if you don't want it
[23:00] <joebodo> tp43, if you dont want to use any of the gnome features, you may want to try a different WM
[23:01] <XRU1> geirha, XUbuntu 9.10 and honestly i couldnt tell you.. wep or wpa i just kept tryin to enter the password over and over and it somehow connected then i updated and was forced to reboot and now i can't connect to my network.
[23:01] <tp43> jrib, well, thing is I can't remove it.
[23:01] <joebodo> !wm
[23:01] <actionParsnip> jason_: run it in a terminal without sudo, what are you utold? have you tried renaming ~/.amsn
[23:01] <tp43> joebodo, well, I want to use gnome, I just want to remove the panel, I still want to use the rest of the features,  Thing is I am using cairo-dock
[23:02] <XRU1> geirha, i also dont have any other options when it asks me to enter my password, just gives me a single option
[23:02] <SpaceGhostC2C> tp43, I understand what you are doing. I did the same thing.
[23:02] <SpaceGhostC2C> tp43, what do you need help with?
[23:02] <lolCake> Im on hardy when ever i enable restricted nvida driver on reboot gnome is un responsive ( Won't react to anything )
[23:02] <jason_> i get the same message when i try to run it through terminal, without root: ERROR: Could not load classifier cascade /usr/share/opencv/haarcascades/haarcascade_frontalface_alt2.xml
[23:02] <jason_> Could not initialize GStreamer: Error re-scanning registry , child terminated by signal
[23:02] <tp43> SpaceGhostC2C, I can't remove the last panel, the option to 'remove panel' when you right click isn't available, it is faded out
[23:03] <tiemonster> Is there a PPA for PHP5.3?
[23:03] <actionParsnip> lolCake: maybe you need a skeletal xorg.conf
[23:03] <tp43> SpaceGhostC2C, I have everything on it removed, and have it shrunk to an inch at the side of the screen, so it is no big deal, I was just wondering
[23:03] <kantor> hi, is there a usb driver parameter or something to force the usb driver to work in low speed as USB 1.0 or 1.1 standard specifies ?
[23:04] <SpaceGhostC2C> tp43, do you want to use it, or not at all?
[23:04] <actionParsnip> tiemonster: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas
[23:04] <geirha> XRU1: In older releases you had to specify whether the wep password was in ascii or hex. I guess that's not the issue, then.
[23:04] <SpaceGhostC2C> It feels more like home when actionParsnip is here :)
[23:04] <lolCake> actionParsnip: any tips on how to do this?
[23:04] <tp43> SpaceGhostC2C, not at all
[23:04] <actionParsnip> lolCake: sounds like your monitor isnt reporting refresh rates etc so the driver isnt loading
[23:04] <geirha> XRU1: Do you know if there are non-ascii chars in the password?
[23:05] <SpaceGhostC2C> tp43 sudo apt-get remove gnome-panel
[23:05] <SpaceGhostC2C> Tell me what it will remove.
[23:05] <XRU1> geirha, only non alphabetical character used in the password is the apostrophe
[23:05] <tp43> SpaceGhostC2C, except, I was wondering, is there a way to make a launcher for some of those panel tray items, like the power button, cause it has sleep and hibernate
[23:05] <SpaceGhostC2C> actionParsnip, what tells gnome-panel to start automatically?
[23:05] <tiemonster> actionParsnip: I see a Lucid test package. I assume I can't install that on Karmic?
[23:06] <actionParsnip> jason_: http://www.insidesocal.com/click/2009/11/ubuntu-karmic-fail-pidgin-and.html
[23:06] <tp43> SpaceGhostC2C, lol, ok, I am gonna do that, but first, did you do that too, I mean, is there some features of the panel that are needed?
[23:06] <SpaceGhostC2C> tp43, you can make a lancher by finding the relevant command line commands. I can help witht hat.
[23:06] <tp43> SpaceGhostC2C, sleep and hibernate
[23:06] <actionParsnip> tiemonster: lucid packages are for lucid, the same ppa may have a karmic repo too
[23:06] <wterrey> I can't change directories in Terminal. Any help on that?
[23:06] <SpaceGhostC2C> tp43, I kept a few things on one panel and told it to hide on the top of the screen and only take up the room it needs. I kept the system stuff up there and the main menu.
[23:06] <actionParsnip> SpaceGhostC2C: not sure, magic?
[23:06] <SpaceGhostC2C> wterrey, cd ~
[23:06] <geirha> XRU1: And only characters from the english alphabet? The apostrophe is ascii, so it's likely not a character encoding issue either then.
[23:07] <SpaceGhostC2C> actionParsnip, automagic.
[23:07] <tp43> SpaceGhostC2C, apt-get remove of gnome-panel, looks like it will un-install some important stuff with it, like the ubunto-desktop
[23:08] <tp43> SpaceGhostC2C, do you think I should go ahead with it.  Plus, will my screenlets still work
[23:08] <jason_> so is it a bug with that plugin?
[23:08] <XRU1> geirha, it took me like an hour to get it finally to connect to it before then updated rebooted and now been well over an hour and it wont connect. Google was not my friend this time didnt help me at all lol
[23:08] <tp43> I am gonna restart, brb
[23:08] <actionParsnip> tp43: the ubuntu-desktop package is only a metapackage so will only uninstall itself, not the packages it installs
[23:08] <tcleval> I wanna let a user to access netword-admin without giving him 'root' powers.. what is the group I have to set the user so he can use network-admin?
[23:08] <SpaceGhostC2C> tp43, try doing this
[23:08] <tp43> actionParsnip, thanks, I removed it
[23:08] <HarryS> http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+unsecure <[23:08] <actionParsnip> jason_: sounds like it, did you try renaming the amsn config folder?
[23:08] <SpaceGhostC2C> tp43, okay, why restart though?
[23:09] <tp43> I am gonna restart gnome, and see if everything is fine.  After I try what you suggesting (SpaceGhostC2C)
[23:09] <jason_> not yet, i'm gonna try this website and see if it works
[23:09] <tp43> brb
[23:09] <vinse> ah! helpful hint: ubuntu-tweak != teak
[23:09] <SpaceGhostC2C> tp43, try this in a terminal sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[23:09] <SpaceGhostC2C> tp43, no restart needed.
[23:09] <actionParsnip> jason_: if you rename the config you will get stock settings
[23:10] <wterrey> If I want to open my Downloads folder on my desktop what is the proper command
[23:10] <jason_> it's not just amsn, it's rythymbox as well, and a few other programs. transmission works, firefox works
[23:10] <NitzchONot> Hello all, anybody knows the command "autoreconfig" ?
[23:10] <ZykoticK9> wterrey, linux is cAsE senstive are you using "cd ~/Downloads" with a capital D?
[23:10] <jrib> wterrey: why command?  Just go to Places -> Home  and then your downloads folder.  Or: what do you actually want to do?
[23:11] <wterrey> No
[23:11] <SpaceGhostC2C> jrib, he obviously said in the command line though.
[23:11] <SpaceGhostC2C> wterrey, can you cd to /
[23:11] <jason_> bingo
[23:11] <jason_> fixed! thanks a bunch!
[23:11] <SpaceGhostC2C> wterrey, man cd might teach you a bit
[23:11] <SpaceGhostC2C> !cookie | actionParsnip
[23:12] <wterrey> I,m trying to install an antivirus that's in my Downloads folder
[23:12] <jrib> wterrey: erm, why do you want an antivirus?
[23:12] <actionParsnip> thanks SpaceGhostC2C :)
[23:13] <SpaceGhostC2C> actionParsnip, I have cookies right now, so I wanted to share.
[23:13] <SpaceGhostC2C> !botsnack
[23:13] <Ziggyzxxyl> what ever happened to the device manager style applet which shows you all the hardware in your computer? I think it used to be in system monitor.... where is it now?
[23:13] <wterrey> I know this system is supposed to be safe but I have been a Windows user for 15 years now,need I say more?
[23:13] <SpaceGhostC2C> wterrey, what AV program are you trying to use?
[23:13] <kmitchner> im having a bash scripting problem.. sed keeps stealing my ; in this command:      find ./test/*/statistics -name logs -exec echo "{}.`date +%Y%m%d.%H%M`" | sed s/\//./g | sed s/^..//g \;
[23:13] <SpaceGhostC2C> wterrey, would you like an explaination of why you won't need a Antivirus suite?
[23:13] <wterrey> AVAST
[23:14] <actionParsnip> kmitchner: i'd ask in #bash its more specific
[23:14] <XRunner> geirha, any idea's?
[23:14] <jrib> wterrey: well first off, the antivirus that you run on linux are usually for finding windows viruses (for mail servers for example) and second, you aren't running windows, stop worrying about silly things
[23:14] <wterrey> Yes SpaceGhost I would
[23:14] <actionParsnip> !av | wterrey
[23:14] <mneptok> wterrey: there's no need for an anti-virus on Linux unless you feel the need to scan stuff for other people
[23:14] <tp43> Nope, lol, gnome-panel is needed.  You can't start gnome without it
[23:15] <lolCake> wterrey: Type this with out quotes " cd /home/$USER/Down* " , and either google "cd" , or linux file hirarchy
[23:15] <wterrey> This is good news
[23:15] <tp43> my cairo-dock hides and doesn't reappear often time
[23:15] <tcleval> is it possible a user connect/disconnect to the internet using netword-admin without been on admin group?
[23:15] <actionParsnip> wterrey: windows makes all users admins which is really bad, ubuntu doesnt and this helps security greatly
[23:16] <knoppies> tp43, you can turn that off, (assuming its the autohide feature thats causing it).
[23:16] <Johnny1> Can I get wine to recognize my ipod touch?
[23:16] <tp43> I guess it a good thing, cause it doesn't pop up when you don't need to.  You just make a killall-all cairo-dock; cairo-dock -c button on the screenlets
[23:16] <AviDog> hey all, anyone know why I "don't have permission" (in gksudo, or in normal user) to copy files on another partition on my hard drive?
[23:16] <tp43> knoppies, thing is I prefer to have it autohide then waste screen space when not in use
[23:16] <geirha> XRunner: I don't know how to further troubleshoot that issue. :/ Logging on to the router and changing the password and see if that helps could be worth a shot.
[23:16] <actionParsnip> AviDog: is it mounted read only
[23:17] <SpaceGhostC2C> AviDog, is the partition mounted with root permissions or is only read only?
[23:17] <AviDog> Not sure.
[23:17] <AviDog> How can I find out?
[23:17] <knoppies> tp43, with autohide off you can still manually hide it, but your method sounds like it works for you.
[23:17] <Johnny1> How do I enable USB support in wine?
[23:17] <ZykoticK9> Johnny1, i "believe" (don't have one myself) that the current method of getting newer iPods to work under Linux is to cheat - and use VirtualBox (w USB support)
[23:17] <tp43> SpaceGhostC2C, you must have gnome-panel installed to run gnome
[23:17] <actionParsnip> AviDog: run: mount     it will say
[23:17] <geirha> XRunner: Otherwise, I'd try to find out whether its wep or wpa (from the router's web interface), and what model your wireless adapter is, and provide that information when you repeat the question.
[23:18] <actionParsnip> Johnny1: i'd ask in #winehq
[23:18] <Johnny1> ZykoticK9, How do I "cheat"
[23:18] <SpaceGhostC2C> tp43, install it real quick and run /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[23:18] <lolCake> Johnny1: wine does not yet have usb support its been developed though
[23:18] <tp43> knoppies, yeah, I was thinking about setting it like that, like have it hide and unhide by click the right bottom corner
[23:18] <tp43> SpaceGhostC2C, I did already, that how I am back here
[23:18] <ZykoticK9> Johnny1, use VirtualBox with Windows installed inside it -- it's not really on linux at all...
[23:18] <wterrey> Here is what I entered "cd/home/$USER/Down*" and here is what I received "bash: cd/home/wterrey/Down*: No such file or directory"
[23:18] <actionParsnip> ZykoticK9: new versions of itunes + new wine get silver rating
[23:18] <tp43> SpaceGhostC2C, You're an amateur
[23:18] <Shirakawasuna> hey, my wife's running ubuntu on her eeepc netbook and we can't get it to associate with our wireless network (it was working fine a week ago).  Can someone help me troubleshoot?
[23:18] <knoppies> tp43, how do you plan on doing that? I would like to give it a try (my method is to right click on it)
[23:19] <BHoward> @shira what is the ouput of your iwconfig
[23:19] <XRunner> geirha, i dont have access to the router only step-dad does, but its a Intel(R) wifilink 5100 AGN
[23:19] <ZykoticK9> actionParsnip, thanks - i hope he caught that message before leaving...  oops
[23:19] <SpaceGhostC2C> tp43, then I won't help you. Have fun with your problem. And I also don't use gnome. Haven't for two years. I'd watch your attitude.
[23:19] <lolCake> wterrey: Run "ls" to list all files in that directory ( to find the file )
[23:19] <knoppies> Shirakawasuna, is your SSID being broadcast?
[23:19] <actionParsnip> Shirakawasuna: run: sudo lshw -C network      websearch for the product line
[23:19] <gdb> wterrey: You need a space between 'cd' and '/'.  It's not like DOS.
[23:19] <XRunner> geirha, my other laptop with winblows on it connects with no problems when i enter the password just this laptop with XUbuntu 9.10
[23:19] <wterrey> oh
[23:20] <gdb> wterrey: I'm not sure what issue you're working on, but that's why you got that specific error. :-)
[23:20] <actionParsnip> Shirakawasuna: if you run: sudo iwlist scan     do you see SSIDs
[23:21] <SpaceGhostC2C> Anyone need some help?

[23:23] <SpaceGhostC2C> archboxman, no, no sorry. Just letting you know man.
[23:23] <knoppies> archboxman, thats ok. Its not like you did anything wrong.
[23:24] <archboxman> i hate windows :)
[23:24] <aukerman> yeah, since switching to ubuntu i've had less errors
[23:24] <knoppies> archboxman, I dislike it, I try not waste energy on hating things.
[23:24]  * actionParsnip uses both
[23:24] <runelind> I set my screensaver to lock the screen upon activation, but it never prompts me for my password
[23:24] <SpaceGhostC2C> !hate
[23:24] <geirha> XRunner: This could be related: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plasma-widget-network-manager/+bug/339313
[23:24] <runelind> is there a keyboard sequence I need to use?
[23:25] <SpaceGhostC2C> I try to learn all that I can. Not box myself in, but I do choose linux when I have a choice to make.
[23:25] <lolCake> archboxman: We use what works best for use you don't have to hate ubuntu to use it , We are not a cult just yet
[23:25]  * knoppies noticed the word yet. oh boy.
[23:25] <snadge> is the update script with the new openoffice 3.2 supposed to do anything on karmic? .. it just says skipping deselected packages and does nothing :(
[23:25] <Ziggyzxxyl> what ever happened to the device manager style applet which shows you all the hardware in your computer? I think it used to be in system monitor.... where is it now?
[23:26] <archboxman> knoppies: I dont worry haven't loaded XP in 4 years hey :)
[23:26] <actionParsnip> Ziggyzxxyl: i use: sudo lshw | less   ;)
[23:26] <knoppies> archboxman, I still got it to game on.
[23:26] <IdleOne> Ziggyzxxyl: you can install hardinfo for a GUI app
[23:27] <knoppies> tp43, before the net split I wanted to ask you how you were planning on hiding/showing your cairo-dock. Im interested to give it a try.
[23:27] <geirha> XRunner: I've only read a little bit of it yet, but one person says it worked by typing in the password as hex-values instead of ascii
[23:27] <archboxman> knoppies: good idea ,but I thought that is why Microsoft made xbox 360... even though it doesn't have some of PC tiles I play :(
[23:27] <Shirakawasuna> well, here's iwconfig: http://pastebin.ca/1794051
[23:27] <Shirakawasuna> anything obviously wrong?
[23:27] <knoppies> archboxman, the xbox is worse than windows XP (imo) lets not get too offtopic though.
[23:28] <AviDog> hey, how can I not mount a partition read only?
[23:28] <snadge> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8808996#post8808996  <-- how to install openoffice 3.2 ... sweeet :)
[23:28] <knoppies> AviDog, I would have a look in the man page of the mount command.
[23:28] <geirha> XRunner: printf "thepassword" | hd    to find the hexadecimal numbers of each character, then type that in (without spaces)
[23:28] <tp43> knoppies,  I am using a screenlet button to reload it when it disappears but  I was looking for that way to make it hide and unhide by clicking the corner, but I can't seem to find it, brb
[23:28] <archboxman> lol ok
[23:28] <Ziggyzxxyl> why was the gui for hardware removed?
[23:28] <AviDog> knoppies: any way to do it in nautilus GUI?

[23:30] <actionParsnip> !info lshw-gtk
[23:30] <tp43> knoppies, oh yeah, if you go to accessiblity, and pop up section, you click the box that says, pop up only if mouse hits a screen corner
[23:31] <iceroot> Ziggyzxxyl: you mean the hardware-driver-installation-gui for non-free driver?
[23:31] <actionParsnip> Ziggyzxxyl:  lshw-gtk is one such gui
[23:32] <tp43> knoppies, I have it set in compiz, so if I click the left screen edge, it zooms out all windows, clicking the right screen edge is like alt+tab, and clicking the bottom corners is screenlets activator
[23:32] <knoppies> tp43, there seems to be a "popup on shotcut" option.
[23:32] <tp43> knoppies, yeah, but I wantet it with the mouse
[23:32] <tp43> man...linux is so sweet
[23:33] <knoppies> tp43, ah, I see.
[23:33]  * knoppies agrees, but without sarcasm.
[23:33] <tp43> knoppies, I am not sarcastic, my life has been devoted to linux, I need someone to strap me to bed to get away from it
[23:34] <tp43> I think I am done though, compiz, cairo, gnome, what more could you ask for
[23:34] <tp43> Thats the state of the art in computer eye candy
[23:34] <kenneth|lunch> tp43: a gesture controlled display?
[23:34] <actionParsnip> tp43: gnomedo is something else, depends how much ram you have to burn
[23:34] <tp43> kenneth, yeah, true, that hardware side
[23:34] <XRunnerBSP> geirha, that didnt work either :( but my only option is "WPA & WPA2 Personal"
[23:35] <tp43> actionParsnip, I have it, its boring, you have to type.  It excellent, just not eye candy
[23:35] <actionParsnip> tp43: how much ram are you using right now?
[23:35] <knoppies> tp43, Im with you on that one. I have gnome-do installed, but often forget to use it.
[23:35] <kenneth|lunch> tp43: What's your hardware like?
[23:35] <tp43> actionParsnip, a third
[23:35] <ZimCS> What is the best way to have auto backups from windows to linux?  BackupPC?
[23:35] <actionParsnip> tp43: yowser
[23:35] <ZimCS> just for home server use
[23:35] <geirha> XRunnerBSP: Ah, ok, it's wpa then.
[23:35] <tp43> kenneth, that reminds me.  I have dual core, but my sys monitors on show one cpu
[23:35] <actionParsnip> ZimCS: there is no best
[23:36] <kenneth|lunch> solve it!
[23:36] <ZimCS> actionParsnip; recommended for the situation
[23:36] <tp43> I pretty sure it is dual core 1.8 and 1.5gig ram
[23:36] <knoppies> tp43, I got a single core and it shows as a duel core (its multithreaded).
[23:36] <actionParsnip> ZimCS: you can share the folder containing the data to backup and access it via samba, i think if you install openssh server on the system you can use rsync
[23:36] <tp43> knoppies, yeah, I heard back in the day, that multithreaded may come back, but it never did
[23:37] <actionParsnip> tp43: so you are using half a gig of ram just for the desktop? is firefox running?
[23:37] <evon> i know this might sound ridiculous but I cannot find my menu.lst file. It's not in the boot\grub\ directory
[23:37] <kenneth|lunch> tp43: Yes it did.
[23:37] <knoppies> tp43, how do you use so little ram, I got 1gig and it idles at 40-50% use, and if I open up FF it uses a good 70%.
[23:37] <tp43> actionParsnip, yep, firefox is always on.  But sometimes, it does spiral out and max my cpu, even though it is idle
[23:37] <knoppies> actionParsnip, Im doing the same, without firefox running. its more when I open up FF.
[23:37] <kenneth|lunch> tp43: Core i7 and i5 are multicore + hyperthreading, so your system thinks you have twice as many cores as you actually do.
[23:37] <actionParsnip> tp43: thats because it sucks at ram
[23:38] <tp43> Right now I am 35 / 25 % cpu/ram, and I have this and firefox
[23:38] <actionParsnip> tp43: i'm running lxde with no compiz and chromium and using 210Mb ish
[23:38] <tp43> actionParsnip, but it was ram it was cpu maxing
[23:39] <Ziggyzxxyl> I am trying to configure efax-gtk - how do I work out which ttys my modem is connected to?
[23:39] <lacita> arand: ~40%
[23:39] <knoppies> kenneth|lunch, I heard that the highend i7 has true simultaneous hyperthreading?
[23:39] <tp43> actionParsnip, I very cheap, I have to maximize usage.    Its firefox that is heavy
[23:39] <evon> i know this might sound ridiculous but I cannot find my menu.lst file. It's not in the boot\grub\ directory can anyone help?
[23:40] <tp43> brb
[23:40] <actionParsnip> tp43: get a better browser, kazenchase or swiftfox are cutdown versions and use less resources
[23:40] <knoppies> tp43, do you find that cairo-dock uses more than its fair share of CPU as well? (I don't think it offloads rendering to my graphics card).
[23:40] <actionParsnip> evon: are you using karmic?
[23:42] <buddhajuke> I installed Karmic on my mothers machine (I'm on it now) and she says she gets a crash to a white screen from time to time and has to restart the computer.  I'm trying to get this to crash for me but it's not working, any tips as to a common activity that might make an x server crash?
