[00:00] <mark__> oh sorry im new here
[00:00] <histo> SCD[Eire]: if you hold the shift key down you should get a grub menu.
[00:00] <sebsebseb> mark__:  a female bot computer program
[00:00] <Hopsa> SCD[Eire]: Couldnt get what into the grub menu ?
[00:00] <sebsebseb> !gender | mark__
[00:00] <mark__> male
[00:00] <SCD[Eire]> glebihan, it wasn't shown up when I did an fdisk -l and histo didn't work and Hopsa my computer lol
[00:00] <histo> SCD[Eire]: are you booting ubuntu off of usb ?
[00:00] <headkase314> mark__, ubottu responds to lines that begin with a ! so when you see ubottu look just above to see who triggered her.
[00:01] <Hopsa> SCD[Eire]: and your computer what ?
[00:01] <SCD[Eire]> histo, nope I have it installed. I was booting DSL so I could edit etc/sudoers
[00:01] <histo> SCD[Eire]: what version of ubuntu?
[00:01] <SCD[Eire]> nd Hopsa I couldn't get my pc to display grub before booting into ubuntu. It didn't even show it
[00:01] <SCD[Eire]> 10.04 histo
[00:02] <steven> hi
[00:02] <sebsebseb> steven: hi
[00:02] <Hopsa> SCD[Eire]: Set the grub timeout
[00:02] <SCD[Eire]> Hopsa, how?
[00:03] <SCD[Eire]> I can't do anything that requires sudo
[00:03] <glebihan> Hopsa, histo: let me sum it up : SCD doesn't get to get admin privilege, so we suggested earlier that he reboot in recovery mode to edit /etc/sudoers
[00:03] <steven> Not strictly releted with ubuntu, but does someone know a diagram editor for use with LaTeX. I need to draw graphs, and need subscript and superscripts so DIA is no good. (Also, i already know dot)
[00:03] <Hopsa> SCD[Eire]: /etc/grub/grubmenu.1st or something like that.
[00:03] <mark__> what is the best way for a noob to get help with a sound prob
[00:03] <sebsebseb> !details | mark__
[00:03] <glebihan> Hopsa: yes but he cannot edit this file as he won't have the privilege
[00:04] <Hopsa> SCD[Eire], glebihan: Ah, yes he cant get admin privs. Use rescue
[00:04] <sebsebseb> mark__: unfortuantly the sound factoid isn't that great for newbies, but there it is anyway
[00:04] <sebsebseb> !sound | mark__
[00:04] <SCD[Eire]> Hopsa, using a netbook with no cd drive. The biggest USB I have is 512MB. Bit awkward
[00:04] <panfist> i've customized gnome a bit on one of my PCs and I was wondering what it takes to transfer the complete configuration to my other PCs
[00:04] <patman023> glebihan: did you see my last post by chance?
[00:04] <Hopsa> SCD[Eire]: Cant you get an external cd for it ?
[00:05] <glebihan> patman023: recently ?
[00:05] <SCD[Eire]> Not right now Hopsa. Trying to just fix it tonight
[00:05] <histo> SCD[Eire]: you should be able to mount / in dsl
[00:05] <Hopsa> SCD[Eire]: Or a boot floppy that you can rescue from ?
[00:05] <histo> Hopsa: he can boot to DSL from usb
[00:05] <nullx> I was messing aroudn with my wireless card and changed it to monitor m ode.  Now I have rebooted the machine and the device is no longer showing.  iwconfig shows no wireless devices but lshw is showing network 0 unclaimed
[00:05] <SCD[Eire]> histo, it didn't recognise my hard drive
[00:05] <nullx> is there anyway i can re enable the device?
[00:06] <Hopsa> histo: Boot from DSL to run boot/rescue ?
[00:06] <mark__> i am running ubuntu 10.04 new install downloaded today no hdmi audio dont know if there is analog or not dont have any to hook up sound is onboard intel dh55hc
[00:06] <histo> SCD[Eire]: you could boot the ubuntu mini.iso  and maybe repair from there
[00:06] <patman023> no, my kernel issue - i can copypasta...
[00:06] <sebsebseb> mark__: ok and its a lap top?
[00:06] <sedstapler> mark__: if it's a noob with a desktop PC, the easiest solution for sound problems by far is to install a sound card with an Emu10k1 chipset, for example an old SoundBlaster Live PCI that can be found on ebay for like $5
[00:06] <SCD[Eire]> histo, how big is the mini.iso? Because that'd work
[00:06] <mark__> desktop
[00:06] <glebihan> patman023: yes, go on
[00:06] <Hopsa> SCD[Eire]: there are many ways to rescue a dist :)
[00:06] <sedstapler> okay, disregard my comment if it's about HDMI :)
[00:07] <histo> SCD[Eire]: mini.iso is 12mb or somehting.  Why are we jumping through all these hoops to begin with?
[00:07] <patman023> glebihan: I cannot run (even from a livecd/dvd, 32 or 64 bit) any kernel newer than even the newest iteration of 2.6.31, I end up getting a stack trace (i think) that ends in: [   0.557246] [<c0104087>] kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10
[00:07] <sebsebseb> !who | mark__
[00:07] <sebsebseb> mark__: that will help you message peole in here directly ^
[00:07] <Hopsa> SCD[Eire]: and how did you manage to install Ubuntu btw ?
[00:08] <histo> SCD[Eire]: let me bring up a mini.iso and see if I can get to anything of use
[00:08] <headkase314> mark__, you only need to type 3 or 4 letters of the name and then press TAB to complete the name
[00:08] <SCD[Eire]> Hopsa, borrowed a USB drive
[00:08] <sebsebseb> headkase314: I was going to maybe type something like that, but you done it now :)
[00:08] <SCD[Eire]> And thanks histo
[00:08] <histo> SCD[Eire]: ughh virtualbox woes.  Perhaps someone else can weigh in on if you can use the mini.iso to repair it.
[00:08] <Hopsa> SCD[Eire]: Nice to see that worked btw.
[00:08] <glebihan> patman023: I may not be of much help in that case
[00:09] <mark__> headkase314, thank you
[00:09] <sebsebseb> mark__: its lap tops that tend to get the hardware issues, when it comes to Ubuntu, not desktops
[00:09] <headkase314> mark__, you're welcome!
[00:09] <sebsebseb> mark__: also when you use someones name, their RIC client will useually high light the message
[00:09] <Hopsa> SCD[Eire]: Do you have a floppy or can you remove the usb stick ?
[00:10] <patman023> glebihan: kk, #ubuntu-kernel is dead - any other ideas as to where to look?
[00:10] <sebsebseb> mark__: maybe it is simpally a pulseaudio issue of some sort, causing your problem
[00:10] <mikeyvee> hey guys im trying to install office 2010 but it says it needs msxml
[00:10] <mark__> sebsebseb, well this is an htpc and really would like to use the hdmi audio
[00:10] <SCD[Eire]> Hopsa, I can but it's only 512MB big
[00:11] <glebihan> patman023: well, you can always have a look on launchpad to see if anybody reported the same kind of issues
[00:11] <gimmebottles> can someone tell me how to delete an autoconnect-channel in irssi?
[00:11] <ChogyDan> patman023: have you tried the mainline kernels?
[00:11] <Hopsa> SCD[Eire]: Do you have another usb stick ?
[00:11] <crohakon> My sound works perfectly in Ubuntu Lucid except when I plug in headphones. The headphones do work, I have tested. I have an Asus g50v. Anyone got any ideas? I check volume levels already as well.
[00:11] <SCD[Eire]> Yeah Hopsa but not bigger than 512 :(
[00:11] <patman023> ChogyDan: yes, and nogo past 2.6.31
[00:11] <Hopsa> SCD[Eire]: I have a 16 GB stick i could fax to you :P
[00:11] <jdawg> I'm new to Ubuntu, and confused about the terminal commands to set up NFS...Is there a GUI to do this?????
 I'm new to Ubuntu, and confused about the terminal commands to set up NFS...Is there a GUI to do this?????
[00:12] <SCD[Eire]> Hopsa, that would be handy :P
[00:12] <sedstapler> mikeyvee: ##winehq
[00:12] <iflema> SCD[Eire]: tried using supergrub disc to boot into ya system?? small iso....
[00:12] <sedstapler> mikeyvee: sorry. it's #winehq
[00:12] <Hopsa> SCD[Eire]: Thing is, you need to boot the sucker with some media.
[00:12] <mikeyvee> thank you
[00:12] <ChogyDan> patman023: then you need to report this upstream, probably first by filing a report on kernel.org
[00:12] <glebihan> crohakon: just to be sure, could you pastebin the output of "amixer" ?
[00:12] <tracy68> i have broadcom 4353 what driver should i use to get it working in 2.6.35 kernel?
[00:12] <mark__> sebsebseb, i installed 10.10 beta and sound worked fine but to many other issues
[00:13] <sebsebseb> mark__: oh
[00:13] <jdawg> any know GUI config setups for NFS client/server in ubuntu?????
[00:13] <patman023> ChogyDan: ok, i assume they have some launchpad-like system for bug reports?
[00:13] <sebsebseb> mark__: so you got 10.10 installed at the moment?
[00:13] <ChogyDan> patman023: sorta, they use bugzilla
[00:13] <crohakon> glebihan, how?
[00:13] <nakhlawi> jdawg: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo
[00:13] <tracy68> i have broadcom 4353 what driver should i use to get it working in 2.6.35 kernel?
[00:13] <SCD[Eire]> Brb Hopsa have an idea
[00:13] <mark__> no formated and went back to 10.04
[00:13] <patman023> ChogyDan: kk, that works then :-)
[00:13] <jdawg> nakhlawi: that's too confusing for me to follow...I want GUI
[00:14] <sebsebseb> mark__: what other isues with 10.10 when you had it?
[00:14] <glebihan> crohakon: run "amixer" then copy the output to http://ubuntu.pastebin.com and tell me addreess
[00:14] <Hopsa> SCD[Eire]. Good, i like to instill those.
[00:14] <sebsebseb> mark__: this looks promising though,  10.10 may work with your sound,  other distros probably do as well, and probably even kubuntu, which currently doesn't use pulseaudio by default, but will starting with 10.10.  you could install that into your ubuntu  install and find out if sound works with that or not
[00:14] <valbaca> jdawg, System-> Administration-> Shared Folders
[00:15] <nullx> I was messing aroudn with my wireless card and changed it to monitor m ode.  Now I have rebooted the machine and the device is no longer showing.  iwconfig shows no wireless devices but lshw is showing network 0 unclaimed - is there anyway i can enable the wireless device?
[00:15] <crohakon> glebihan, according to that my mic volume is not turned up? How do I adjust it?
[00:15] <gryllida> what should i install if i see a message `make[1]: lex: Command not found`?
[00:15] <sebsebseb> mark__: and if you had issues with 10.10,  you could do bugreports and ask for help in #ubuntu+1, but right yeah, your back on 10.04
[00:15] <jdawg> valbaca: I don't have that option in lucid
[00:15] <sebsebseb> !kubuntu | mark__
[00:16] <glebihan> crohakon: amixer set "Mic" 100%
[00:16] <valbaca> jdawg, right click on your Applications | Places | System menu, Edit Menus, and add the option there
[00:16] <sebsebseb> mark__: and its good to try out  other desktop envirionments as well, if your wanting to learn this kind of software more
[00:16] <mark__> sebsebseb, so your saying add kbuntu to my ubuntu setup and sound may work
[00:17] <sebsebseb> mark__: yeah exactly
[00:17] <sebsebseb> mark__: however
[00:17] <incognito> still having server boot problem
[00:17] <sebsebseb> mark__: if that works, then that means, your issue is something to do with pulseaudio
[00:17] <iflema> tracy68: STA should get ya there
[00:18] <jdawg> valbada: Connect to a remote computer or shared disk? that's i'll i found
[00:18] <sebsebseb> mark__:  quite a lot of sound issues with Ubuntu since 8.04 (April 2008)  when they introduced pulse audio into Ubuntu  (and what makes that a bit worse is that it was with the previous Long Term Support release)
[00:18] <flupke_> what could cause hibernate to work in single user mode or on the login screen, but fail once logged ?
[00:18] <mark__> sebsebseb,  thanks i am going to try that now ty ill let ya know how it goes
[00:18] <incognito> my dmesg says [    0.103600] vgaarb: loaded

[00:18] <incognito>  what do I need to blacklist and how do I do it?
[00:18] <sebsebseb> mark__: and when it installs
[00:18] <mneptok> !pastebin | incognito
[00:19] <sebsebseb> mneptok: well if your going to do this,  I hope your partition isn't really small,  it doesn't take up that much space though
[00:19] <incognito> okay
[00:19] <mneptok> sebsebseb: do what?

[00:19] <mayank_gupta2005> hello, anyone tried simulating on sim-safe (simplescalor) ? i need some reall help!
[00:20] <gryllida> again, i'm repeating the question in case it wasn't noticed, what should i install if i see a message `make[1]: lex: Command not found`?
[00:20] <toshiba_linux> Hi there, Im trying to install ubuntu on a toshiba a30.  But a quick search on google says that it wont.  I was able to install XP, but ive tried a live CD and creating a bootable USB.  Neither work, any ideas?
[00:20] <gryllida> !anyone > mayank_gupta2005
[00:20] <mark__> sebsebseb,  500 gb i should be ok
[00:20] <gryllida> !details > mayank_gupta2005
[00:20] <sebsebseb> mark__: if your going to install it, I hope your partition isn't realy small, doesn't take  up that much space though.  Also yeah have a look at their site, so you have an idea what you would be installing, and then  to log in to it you would from the log in screen, which you can change to the better KDM even when installing it.
[00:20] <zfelol> hello, i just updated my ubuntu 10.04
[00:20] <jdawg> valbaca: I saw that post.....not GUI..
[00:20] <zfelol> and somehow wifi doesn't work anymore
[00:20] <gryllida> zfelol: hi there
[00:21] <gryllida> !wifi
[00:21] <zfelol> the system can see the card
[00:21] <zfelol> but well, i type my wpa2 pass
[00:21] <zfelol> and it doesn't get connected
[00:21] <crohakon> glebihan, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/psFrTXWj <--- Headphone out put does not work... but mic works fine.
[00:21] <zfelol> saying "wrong password"
[00:21] <jdawg> There isn't a simple GUI config program to get NFS running for Ubuntu?????????
[00:21] <zfelol> i'm sure the apssword is right
 didnt u tell me much
[00:21] <sebsebseb> mark__: to install.  open the terminal and sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[00:21] <tracy68> where from should i get the sat driver ?
[00:21] <Hopsa> gryllida, sebsebseb: mayank_gupta2005 ???
[00:21] <tracy68> from synaptic?
[00:21] <gryllida> jdawg: not as main file system, no, though ubuntu can read/write it generally fine
[00:22] <zfelol> gryllida, already tried that way
[00:22] <zfelol> the point is that the card works
[00:22] <toshiba_linux> sorry if im just here to ask this question, but I cannot believe a toshiba a30 wont allow a linux installation :/
[00:22] <zfelol> just the system got fucked up
[00:22] <zfelol> keyring was not working as well
[00:22] <zfelol> i had to remove the password manually
[00:22]  * Hopsa Put on some deathmetal and yams
[00:22] <headkase314> sebsebseb, should he do "sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm" after? I don't know if that is the right command but basically to make kdm the session manager instead of gdm in case that matters?
[00:22] <Seeker`> !language | zfelol
[00:22] <zfelol> ok sorry
[00:22] <sebsebseb> headkase314: I think KDM is better than GDM 2 :)
[00:22] <gryllida> zfelol: check out the !wiki documentation from ubottu that i linked you to
[00:22] <sebsebseb> headkase314: however sure there are ways to change back to GDM
[00:23] <glebihan> crohakon: did you try "amixer set Headphone 100%" ?
[00:23] <headkase314> sebsebseb, what I mean is that just installing kubuntu-desktop does not change the session manager to kdm - it leaves it with gdm.
[00:23] <jdawg> gryllida: i have the nfs package installed, but i'm looking for a GUI program to config it
[00:23]  * Hopsa Mmmm, Eddie Meduza
[00:23] <jdawg> gryllida: i know OpenSuSE has one
[00:23] <sebsebseb> headkase314: mark__  no it asks which one to use on install, and I would suggest going with KDM :)
[00:24] <headkase314> sebsebseb, ok, thanks.
[00:24] <zfelol> gryllida, it must be some problem of google network management
[00:24] <mayank_gupta2005> gryllida: i am running ubuntu 10.04, and i am trying to simulate with sim-safe, when ever i try to make with a file, the make gets stuck with a command prompt: % . When i type exit i get a series of error that are: http://pastebin.com/GabRZXEf and the make file that i am using: http://pastebin.com/Yc4eWnCy
[00:24] <gryllida> what should i install if i see a message `make[1]: lex: Command not found`?
[00:25] <headkase314> !info lex
[00:25] <gryllida> !info flex
[00:25] <gryllida> maybe this?
[00:25] <Hopsa> mayank_gupta2005: "make with a file" ? / Compile a file ?
[00:26] <mayank_gupta2005> Hopsa: sorry i meant i am trying to make.
[00:26] <Hopsa> mayank_gupta2005: But not a single error is shown .. ?
[00:27] <valbaca> gryllida, sudo apt-get install lex
[00:27] <valbaca> nvm that
[00:27] <mayank_gupta2005> Hopsa: no untill i type in exit, i do not get to see anything
[00:27] <mayank_gupta2005> Hopsa: only a % sign
[00:27] <LorgonJortle> Hi!
[00:27] <sebsebseb> headkase314: maybe not the best way to test sound, but I know this way works :D and I don't know that much about sound issues in Ubuntu
[00:28] <gryllida> Hi LorgonJortle
[00:28] <crohakon> glebihan, yes I did... and it just returned an error
[00:28] <glebihan> crohakon: what error ?
[00:28] <Hopsa> mayank_gupta2005: I can see its a c++ program. Show the url from which you got it plz...
[00:28] <headkase314> sebsebseb, I'm wondering if that will work - seems like the chances don't seem so good.
[00:29] <sebsebseb> headkase314: the chances are good since Kubuntu uses alsa by default instead of pulseaudio
[00:29] <sebsebseb> headkase314: however starting with 10.10 it will also use pulseaudio :(
[00:29] <LorgonJortle> I've a Westell Versalink 327 router, and I'm trying to take the internet in my dorm and create a wireless network. Then I plug a DSL cable from the ethernet jack into the DSL port of the router, the DSL light just keeps blinking and I don't get anything. Is there something I need to do?
[00:29] <Hopsa> mayank_gupta2005: gcc never ends with just a "%" sign.
[00:29] <headkase314> sebsebseb, it's beyond my knowledge for the moment so I trust you! ;)
[00:29] <Hopsa> mayank_gupta2005: Not even dmake :)
[00:29] <sebsebseb> headkase314: however he said his sound worked in the 10.10 beta so :)
[00:30] <mayank_gupta2005> Hopsa: Ill make it again and post the otput, just a moment please
[00:30] <Hopsa> mayank_gupta2005: make sure you get it all.
[00:30] <crohakon> glebihan, amixer: Invalid command!

[00:32] <headkase314> !gnome-alsamixer | crohakon
[00:32] <crohakon> alsamixer does not even show the option to turn up headphone volume... but it des list it.
[00:32] <Hopsa> alsamixer is the lowlevel usage, it should be better.
[00:32] <headkase314> !info gnome-alsamixer | crohakon
[00:32] <histo> LorgonJortle: set up the router to connect to the pppoe service
[00:33] <headkase314> crohakon, if you "sudo apt-get install gnome-alsamixer" it does the same thing but the interface is much easier than alsamixer
[00:33] <histo> LorgonJortle: but this is offtopic for #ubuntu
[00:33] <bruenig> crohakon: you can try to use OSS
[00:33] <bruenig> I find it better
[00:33] <sebsebseb> mark__: are you downloading it now?
[00:33] <crohakon> OSS?
[00:33] <toshiba_linux> thanks, when I boot from a live CD it reads the CD then goes to a blank screen, when I try a bootable usb..it trys to read it then goes to boot from my hd
[00:33] <glebihan> crohakon: it's the same as what you got with amixer, which didn't show any information about volume level for heaphones
[00:34] <Hopsa> mayank_gupta2005: Looks like the cimpile went fine but didnt install. Can you run it fron that directory: ./program ?
[00:34] <crohakon> glebihan, right... alsamixer just made the display look better lol
[00:34] <Hopsa> crohakon: Yeah, np
[00:35] <toshiba_linux> the CD drive is fine as I can install windows and the live cd is ok as ive tested it with another machine
[00:35] <mayank_gupta2005> Hopsa: as in I should run it in the simple-sim directory?
[00:35] <Hopsa> crohakon: Yeah.
[00:36] <Hopsa> crohakon: If thats ok you should be able to run: "make install"
[00:36] <glebihan> Hopsa: I think you're not talking to the right person...
[00:36] <Hopsa> mayank_gupta2005: If thats ok you should be able to run: "make install"
[00:36] <Hopsa> Yep
[00:36] <Hopsa> Noted
[00:37] <headkase314> Hopsa, "sudo make install"
[00:37] <mayank_gupta2005> Hopsa: ok let me give it a try
[00:37] <Hopsa> Impiled
[00:37] <Hopsa> Implied
[00:38] <Hopsa> headkase314: Otherwise he would have asked why it didnt work and perhaps gave him all kinds of access denied replies.
[00:38] <headkase314> Hopsa, ;)

[00:46] <mayank_gupta2005> Hopsa: sim-safe: This simulator implements a functional simulator. This
[00:46] <mayank_gupta2005> functional simulator is the simplest, most user-friendly simulator in the

[00:47] <Hopsa> mayank_gupta2005: What is the simplescalar toolset ? / Havnt seen it before
[00:47] <Hopsa> mayank_gupta2005: Keep the output to 3 lines max per paste
[00:47] <headkase314> devon type "/join #ubuntu+1" and you'll go there
[00:47] <glebihan> devon: #ubuntu+1 is the channel for maverick; to join it type: /join #ubuntu+1
[00:47] <headkase314> devon, without the quotes

[00:52] <aperson> what's the utility that can detect and extract various archive types on the command line.  I know there are a couple of them but my google=fu is failing me
[00:52] <mayank_gupta2005> Hopsa: yes, this tool is awsome! but i dont quite know how to use it!
[00:53] <Hopsa> aperson: tar, gzip, zip, unzip, rar, unrar and many variations.
[00:53] <latagore> I've messed up grub and the Live CD is not working, what do I do?
[00:53] <headkase314> Time for a cigar, I've been saving this puppy all day!
[00:53] <Hopsa> mayank_gupta2005: Try to get in contect with the devs or other users. Progress is always nice.
[00:54] <Hopsa> headkase314: Lol! Ill have a cigarette (Although it sais i could drop and die on the box) :P
[00:54] <aperson> Hopsa, there's a single util that will take an archive, determine the type, and will use the correct utility (tar, gzip, etc)
[00:55] <Hopsa> aperson: guis do that btw
[00:56] <aperson> Hopsa, I know that, if I wanted a gui I'd just use file-roller :)
[00:56] <rsvp> if a USB flash drive is formatted to ext4 and we use usb-creator for a bootable version -- then will Ubuntu run on Windoze??? .... so is it really necessary that Windoze be able to read ext4 files for this to work?
[00:56] <Hopsa> aperson: Yep, fairly neat eh ? :)
[00:57] <latagore> Is there an small OS that I can use to edit my partitions and recognizes ext4 filesystems?
[00:57] <crohakon> opensound worked however the headphones seem to have a lot of background noise
[00:57] <jrib> latagore: why not just use ubuntu?  Why small?  Ubuntu fits on a cd
[00:57] <aperson> Hopsa, I'm sorry, but you're not helping, thanks
[00:58] <latagore> jrib: Ubuntu doesn't boot from grub nor from the live CD
[00:58] <latagore> jrib: rather, I screwed up grub
[00:58] <jrib> latagore: how did you install it?
[00:58] <crohakon> I take that back.. opensound works when I run osstest from console but I hear no sound when trying to play music
[00:59] <latagore> jrib: the same way I tried to do it when it didn't work
[00:59] <jrib> latagore: huh?  Presumably, you installed ubuntu at some point since it's failing to boot from grub now
[01:00] <latagore> jrib: Let me rephrase that; I installed from the Live CD on a USB
[01:00] <jrib> latagore: ok.  Use that
[01:01] <latagore> jrib: I no longer have the USB; I tried reinstalling and booting from it with no success
[01:01] <latagore> jrib: they both stopped at one point and didn't continue
[01:01] <brad8171> did i join
[01:01] <rsvp> latagore, was your USB drive formatted as ext4 ?
[01:02] <IdleOne> brad8171: yes
[01:02] <brad8171> thank you
[01:02] <jrib> latagore: boot the cd then.  Make sure you don't have a bad burn
[01:02] <Ritlee> so for a question, I have a noname brand wireless card with the Realtek 8192SU chipset, it works fine AFTER i run 5 lines into the terminal, anyone have a good way of making it work without running those lines everytime i plug in? lines can be read at http://pastebin.com/YFYXHkCF
[01:02] <brad8171> could i get some help?
[01:02] <Kerrick> How can I print one large image on several pages?
[01:02] <latagore> rsvp: No, I think it was NTFS
[01:02] <Kerrick> Do I have to just GIMP it into multiple images?
[01:02] <valbaca> ask! | brad8171
[01:03] <len> hi how can I configure my HDMI to make sound?
[01:04] <brad8171> some times when i boot up my sound does not come on ,i have to shut the computer and reboot and then i comes on do you know whats going on
[01:05] <latagore> rsvp: Why does it matter?
[01:05] <len> !hdmi
[01:05] <steed> am i in now?
[01:06] <rww> steed: yes
[01:07] <steed> ok, i am trying to install php on gentoo (i know this is ubuntu, you guys are pretty flexible though :P)  and im getting an odd ebuild message i cant find the solution to.
[01:07] <steed> i run 'emerge dev-lang/php'
[01:08] <rsvp> latagore, just wondering that myself! because if the bios reads from the flash drive first, it must be able to handle FAT32, NTFS, or ext4 whatever well to do its bootup. -- maybe I am wrong... any correction appreciated.
[01:08] <steed> and i get: dev-lang/php-5.2.14 (Change USE: +gd)
[01:08] <HermanDE> steed, Have you tried to reinstall Gentoo first?
[01:08] <brad8171> valbaca still there?
[01:08] <silverpower> add gd to your use flags. duh.
[01:08] <jrib> steed: ask #gentoo, not here
[01:08] <HermanDE> steed, I hear that that works well...
[01:08] <HermanDE> steed, Emerge Debian should do the trick
[01:09] <steed> jrib, sorry guys, didnt know we had a #gentoo
[01:09] <valbaca> brad8171, yes. I don't have a solution
[01:09] <brad8171> thanks
[01:09] <valbaca> System > Preferences > Sound. Make sure your settings are how you would like there.
[01:10] <valbaca> Under the Hardware tab, the "Profile:" Drop down menu provides options
[01:11] <silverpower> Ugh. Are there any meta packages for -dev stuff?
[01:11] <jrib> silverpower: why?
[01:12] <brad8171> valbaca when i select the radeon x1200 it doesn't work
[01:12] <brandon420> how do i get a panel on my secondary monitor?
[01:12] <silverpower> Because trying to figure out what Ubuntu calls all 30+ dependencies of CrystalSpace (svn trunk) is starting to become frustrating.
[01:13] <jrib> silverpower: you should just use the package in the repositories.  But if you wanted to build the package in the repositories, « sudo apt-get build-dep crystalspace » would get you them.
[01:13] <jrib> and by "them" I mean the dependencies
[01:13] <txomon> hi does anyone know how to create a user without any folder?¿
[01:14] <jrib> txomon: you mean no home directory?
[01:14] <txomon> yep
[01:14] <txomon> I need a user admin without home
[01:15] <rockhopper> hi.. is it possible to have the ubuntu netbook 10.10 window manager in ubuntu 10.4?
[01:15] <jrib> txomon: I'm not sure if it's valid to not have any home, but you could just not create the home directory... It would pretty much be the same.  If you want to explore, you can muck around with /etc/passwd and possibly make something blow up I guess
[01:15] <brad8171> valbaca there is 2 selections i could choose from in the hardware tab, 1 is internal audio analog stereo duplex, 2 is the radeon x1200  when i select 2 it turns off my sound,isnt that the card in the computer?
[01:15] <white_magic> hey, if i want to dual boot win7 & ubuntu on the same 320gb hdd (win7 is already installed), how much space should I allocate for ubuntu? i think i'll keep most of the bigger files on the windows partition
[01:15] <rockhopper> coz i couldn't boot after upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10
[01:15] <rockhopper> white_magic, 2-4 gb's good!!
[01:16] <rockhopper> 5 gb to be on safe side
[01:16] <misterB> Anybody here know an easy way to access a password in a locked keyring from the command line?
[01:16] <rockhopper> and 2-3 gb swap space
[01:16] <noisewaterphd> adduser -d and just leave the directory blank might work
[01:16] <txomon> white_magic: 40 Gbs for home 20 for / and 2 for swap
[01:16] <dome> quick question, flash player 10 working right in ubuntu?
[01:16] <brad8171> valbaca the same thing is in the output tab
[01:16] <white_magic> quite a difference b etween rockhopper & txomon..
[01:16] <jrib> dome: as right as flash can work I suppose...
[01:16] <txomon> dome:  yep
[01:16] <valbaca> brad8171, audio is one of those things like an nVidia graphics card, it usually just works or is highly system-dependent. what kind of computer is it?
[01:16] <noisewaterphd> i have flash player 10 working fine in 64bit ubuntu
[01:16] <dome> lol. understood
[01:17] <silverpower> jrib, I wanted to play with the code in trunk. But thanks for the pointer.
[01:17] <brad8171> gateway
[01:17] <jrib> white_magic: how much ram do you have?
[01:17] <wickedSA> txomon: the shell will complain when the user logs in, and likely dump it in /, but otherwise I dont think its a big deal
[01:17] <rockhopper> white_magic, you can access windows partitons from ubuntu!!
[01:17] <white_magic> 4gb
[01:17] <rockhopper> so it'd not be a problem
[01:17] <white_magic> rockhpper: that's 'my plan
[01:17] <brad8171> valbaca, its a Gateway
[01:17] <jrib> silverpower: the dependencies for trunk will likely be the same as the dependencies for the ubuntu package
[01:17] <txomon> wickedSA: it is just for ssh managing
[01:17] <rockhopper> white_magic, then 5 gb's more than sufficient
[01:17] <brad8171> laptop

[01:17] <silverpower> jrib, yeah, I figured as much. If they have changed, I can always build them.

[01:19] <brad8171> valbaca this problem is intermitten maybe once a week
[01:19] <brad8171> valbaca only when i boot up
[01:20] <txomon> wickedSA: I am sorry but if i login with that user
[01:20] <bpietro> dome: quick response: yes, me Ubuntu 10.04, Firefox, FP 10. Just verified, works fine
[01:20] <txomon> home folder will be created
[01:20] <valbaca> I wonder if it might have to do with shutting down with the sound on 'mute' and then when it starts up it's still off and ubuntu doesn't see it. just throwing out ideas
[01:21] <rockhopper> does any one know how to get the UNR 10.10 window manager for UNR 10.04?
[01:21] <brad8171> valbaca i know when its happening because i hear no ubuntu music when i boot up
[01:21] <ZykoticK9> rockhopper, the interface is called Unity, check for a PPA that has it
[01:21] <txomon> in the spanish channel the say I could do
[01:21] <latagore> For some reason I can't boot into any Linux distro with graphics
[01:22] <rockhopper> ZykoticK9, whats a ppa?
[01:22] <ZykoticK9> !ppa | rockhopper
[01:22] <rockhopper> ZykoticK9, where can we find them?
[01:22] <txomon> wickedSA: sudo adduser -s /bin/false
[01:23] <jack_guru> hello! I have a locked BIOS so I am trying to install ubuntu on a laptop through wubi, by using the feature that will boot from the cd instead of loading window$. The problem is that boot.ini does not alter when I install wubi and I found out that what is missing is the line c:\wubildr.mbr="Ubuntu". Though there is no such file in c:\. Any ideas? thanks

 <sebsebseb> wants you to know: You should avoid noisy away messages and -nicks in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users. Use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently.  See also «/msg ubottu Guidelines»

[01:27] <vol7ron> xChat
[01:27] <sebsebseb> vol7ron: the ops might kick you for away messages
[01:27] <sebsebseb> vol7ron: or even ban you from the channel, if you do it a lot
[01:27] <vol7ron> well the ops should turn off the channel away message

[01:38] <ZykoticK9> !paste > rockhopper

[01:39] <crohakon> I think tomorrow (the 7th of September) should become officially known as "Hug an Ubuntu user day"
[01:39] <pgib> this is odd, since I never configured anything, and ubuntu isn't actually instlled on the disk. It seems like the LiveCD itself needs me to login to it :-/
[01:39] <jsec> pgib, I've had that problem before, and for some unexplicable reason the only way I could fix it was burning a new LiveCD *shrugs*

[01:40] <valbaca> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD
[01:41] <ZykoticK9> rockhopper, sorry i don't know what's wrong then.  best of luck man.
[01:41] <rockhopper> Thanks for your help!
[01:42] <pgib2> oops
[01:42] <mikeyvee> how can i create a launcher that runs a .sh file
[01:42] <headkase314> ZykoticK9, rockhopper, Here is the ppa page: https://launchpad.net/~canonical-dx-team/+archive/une So it looks like the ppa line is correct, did you get a key error rockhopper?
[01:42] <Enry_> Sounds good.
[01:42] <rockhopper> headkase314, ce I never configured anything, and ubuntu isn't actually instlled on the disk. It seems like the LiveCD itself needs me to login to it
[01:43] <rockhopper> sorry
[01:43] <mike9055> mikeyvee: Command: /home/pathtosh/your.sh
[01:43] <rockhopper> headkase314,  http://paste.ubuntu.com/489507/
[01:43] <rockhopper> thats what i got when i tried to add
[01:43] <mikeyvee> sh /home/blah/blah/gmote.sh
[01:44] <headkase314> rockhopper, hmm, maybe launchpad is having issues?
[01:44] <rockhopper> Hm may be!!
[01:44] <mike9055> mikeyvee: you are creating a launcher right?
[01:44] <valbaca> mikeyvee, /home/blah/blah.sh %s
[01:44] <rockhopper> I'll try adding it after some time!!
[01:44] <crohakon> Does Ubuntu offer a liveCD that already has flash installed? I want to use my old (still decent) laptop that is missing a hard drive to play hulu and pandora on my TV... but the liveCD I download does not include flash and I cannot get it to install...
[01:45] <valbaca> crohakon, you can use remastersys to create your own live cd, or Peppermint OS may meet your needs
[01:45] <mikeyvee> it dosent seem to work guys im trying to create a launcher to starup a gmote server using a shell script
[01:46] <netsurf3> hey all what does ubuntu do different that prevents users getting emails about system errors failed crontabs and the like?
[01:47] <mikeyvee> yeah i click the launcher and it dose nothing
[01:47] <rww> netsurf3: It doesn't install a MTA by default
[01:47] <sinman> how can i see how many partitions on my hdd with terminal and how they are assign like / , /home, etc etc
[01:47] <netsurf3> rww can you expand the abbeviation please?
[01:47] <rockhopper> headkase314, Though its showed the error,
[01:48] <filo1234> sinman: sudo fdisk -l
[01:48] <rww> netsurf3: Mail Transfer Agent. Debian installs exim4 by default, Ubuntu supports that or postfix.
[01:48] <rww> !mta
[01:48] <sinman> filo1234: thanxs
[01:48] <rockhopper> headkase314,  when i pressed sudo apt-get update, the une ppa comes in there
[01:48] <filo1234> sinman: not at all
[01:48] <headkase314> rockhopper, can you do a "sudo apt-get install unity"?
[01:48] <netsurf3> rww another thing on the same subject. can these interact with external smtp servers at all?
[01:49] <headkase314> rockhopper, and really, good luck with unity - it's not final yet from what I gather.
[01:49] <netsurf3> i am curious if it were possible to have the mta email to my gmail account for example
[01:49] <rockhopper> it shows an error that Broken Packages
[01:49] <rww> netsurf3: theoretically, yes. In practice, users on residential connections are usually prevented from doing so by their ISP.
[01:49] <rww> netsurf3: ah. I think that's possible with a smarthost setup. I don't know how to do it, though.
[01:50] <rockhopper> headkase314, how to remove a perository ppa?
[01:50] <rockhopper> *repository
[01:50] <headkase314> rockhopper, ok, go to System > Administration > Software Sources and under the "Other Software" tab find that source and remove it.
[01:51] <netsurf3> rww so MTA, is there any additional setup i need to do to get error events emailed to me?
[01:51] <netsurf3> I dont know anything about MTA so a source I can read up on would be nice too
[01:51] <filo1234> sinman: on fstab you can see what partition is assigned for / /home and so on... type cat /etc/fstab
[01:51] <headkase314> rockhopper, you can do this because you haven't installed anything from the ppa yet.  If you had installed stuff from a ppa removing the source like that directly would still leave it's packages installed on your system.
[01:52] <rockhopper> Ok!!
[01:52] <headkase314> rockhopper, after removing it do add-apt-repository with it again.  If that fails again, go back to software sources and remove it again.  Repeat until it adds correctly.
[01:52] <rockhopper> Ok!
[01:53] <rockhopper> headkase314, seems i'm getting a public key problem!
[01:53] <p1und3r> hey all, is there anyway to "unsudo" in the middle of a script
[01:54] <rww> netsurf3: If I remember correctly, I just installed postfix and set it for local mail delivery when it asked during setup, and it worked fine.
[01:54] <headkase314> rockhopper, ok, remove under software sources again and try it later.  It is seeming that launchpad is just having issues at the moment.  So, bookmark the page -> https://launchpad.net/~canonical-dx-team/+archive/une and try later?
[01:54] <rww> !postfix | netsurf3
[01:54] <rockhopper> headkase314, OK! thanks
[01:54] <sinman> filo1234: np got it
[01:54] <headkase314> rockhopper, any time an add-apt-repository fails you always need to manually remove the line in software sources, that's just for your information ;)
[01:55] <rockhopper> ok
[01:56] <lotus_> hey, my sound volume bar is screwy.  Only the lower 15% of the volume meter has an effect.  This makes it difficult to make fine adjustments to the volume?
[01:57] <vbundi> I need to reinstall my boot partition... had a raid screwup, my / is fine... how can I do this safely without messing with anything else
[01:58] <vbundi> I'm booted into a live CD and am chrooted into /
[01:58] <ohmy> hi
[01:58] <ChogyDan> vbundi: random guess, reinstall grub and the kernels?
[01:58] <ohmy> i'm in a very bad situation, i'd like to have help please
[01:59] <ohmy> i have dual boot laptop with seven and lucid
[01:59] <sebsebseb> !details | ohmy
[01:59] <vbundi> ChogyDan yeah I guess I will try that
[01:59] <ohmy> i've tried ext2fs from seven to access my ext4 partition and it was really a bad idea, now i can"t access no seven nor lucid
[01:59] <headkase314> rockhopper, to be exact the reason you need to manually remove the line in software sources is because when add-apt-repository fails its usually while retrieving the key.  Without the key that source line will give you all sorts of authentication errors.  So, removing the line and then readding tries to get the key again.  If you just readded without removing the source then you would get the key properly but you
[01:59] <headkase314>  would have a duplicate source line.  So, removing the line if the add fails is just the best thing to do.
[02:00] <rockhopper> Oh!!
[02:00] <ohmy> sebsebseb: sorry i'm too tired and afraid that i've maybe lost all my work
[02:00] <ganjanaut> is there a way to increase how much totem buffers while streaming?  it's not buffering enough and the audio keeps stopping
[02:00] <Thmqt> how do I run System Monitor from the terminal?
[02:00] <sebsebseb> ohmy: have you tried to see if you can get into the data on the Live CD?
[02:01] <sebsebseb> ohmy: and yes using that driver to access a Ext4 partiton is a bad idea
[02:01] <sebsebseb> ohmy: with Ext3 it works though
[02:01] <ohmy> sebsebseb: i've tried a repaire with seven CD without a success, now i'm on the same laptop with lucide live cd
[02:01] <filo1234> Thmqt: gnome-system-monitor
[02:01] <vbundi> how do I install grub on a raid array?
[02:02] <sebsebseb> ohmy: top panel > places
[02:02] <ganjanaut> anybody?
[02:02] <sebsebseb> ohmy: is there your partitions listed? f or WIndows or Ubuntu, or both?
[02:02] <sebsebseb> ohmy: if so try to get in to them from the Live CD
[02:02] <ohmy> sebsebseb: i can see windows partitions
[02:02] <sebsebseb> ohmy: can you access though?
[02:03] <sebsebseb> ohmy: and what about Ubuntu?
[02:03] <ohmy> sebsebseb: and the '/' of my ubuntu
[02:03] <sebsebseb> ohmy: ok and can you get into them?
[02:03] <ohmy> sebsebseb: yes i can access
[02:03] <ohmy> sebsebseb: yes i can access them
[02:03] <coreyt> I have just upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10, now when i boot, ubuntu does not load into the gnome desktop, it just gives me a command line interface
[02:03] <sebsebseb> ohmy: yep and there is your data?
[02:03] <headkase314> !maverick | coreyt
[02:04] <sebsebseb> ohmy: data is still there
[02:04] <typemore> is there a version of ubuntu that runs on gcc 4.1 and boost 1.38 ?
[02:04] <ohmy> sebsebseb: copied it into usb pen, this is the urgent part, i have lot of my familly pictures etc they're too big to be saved into usb key
[02:04] <sebsebseb> ohmy: oh I see
[02:04]  * Hopsa Redies Deathblossom
[02:05] <sebsebseb> ohmy: got an external hard disk to back up to or something?
[02:05] <ohmy> sebsebseb: http://paste.ubuntu-fr-secours.org/src-96151 all the partitions are here but i dont know how to get grub back
[02:05] <sebsebseb> ohmy: yeah what is the problem exactly, when it comes to booting?
[02:05] <ohmy> sebsebseb: tried sudo grub-install hd0 but got http://paste.ubuntu-fr-secours.org/src-96152
[02:05] <th0r> ohmy: I wouldn't do anything about restoring grub before getting all those pictures backed up
[02:06] <ganjanaut> guess not
[02:06] <sebsebseb> ohmy:re  installing Grub is not an easy thing to do, so its much easier to just re install Ubuntu, and when you do that, it will let you boot Windows 7 again as well,  assuming that partition is ok still
[02:06] <ohmy> sebsebseb: when i've uninstalled ext2fs he asked me something like do you want to remove all fixed drives i've answered yes, after i've rebooted but no grub, only a message saying no module found
[02:06] <sebsebseb> ohmy: what probably happended is that the driver you treid to use, currupted your Ubuntu partition a bit
[02:06] <sebsebseb> ohmy: your Windows 7 partiton on the other hand, is probably fine still
[02:07] <sebsebseb> hi th0r :)
[02:07] <sebsebseb> ohmy: also by the way, even if a partition was deleted, which  hasn't happended for you, but if this was to happen.  data is still on hard disk, and there are programs that can access it useualy
[02:08] <zfelol> ubuntu is failing me so badly
[02:08] <zfelol> :\
[02:08] <sebsebseb> ohmy: so no your ok, your data is still there
[02:08] <Black_Phantom> Hello all
[02:08] <th0r> hi sebsebseb
[02:08] <Black_Phantom> How to change the default application to run a certain file ?
[02:08] <vbundi> my grub and boot partition has been lost... I'm running a raid, can anyone help me get this repaired
[02:08] <sebsebseb> vbundi: if it was a normal set up I could, not sure about raids
[02:09] <ohmy> sebsebseb: isn't it possible to isntall grub-pc from live-cd then ?
[02:09] <vbundi> sebsebseb: help me with a normal setup and I think I can adapt it
[02:09] <sebsebseb> ohmy: when the compuer boots up
[02:09] <th0r> Black_Phantom: right click on the file and choose Properties
[02:09] <vbundi> sebsebseb: imagine my /boot is /dev/sda1
[02:10] <datakid>  Hi, using the eeepc. how can I restore my tray? I've tried installing eeepc-tray but it doesn't do what I want? basically I want to be able to add new icons/monitors to my tray. and remove the mail icon
[02:10] <sebsebseb> vbundi: if you have lost your boot,  you need to re install the OS really, probably
[02:10] <Black_Phantom> th0r, thanks man
[02:10] <filo1234> ohmy: from live cd you can reisntall GRUB
[02:10] <sebsebseb> filo1234: right, but
[02:10] <Grappleseed> why won't this nick stay identified
[02:10] <sebsebseb> filo1234: if /boot is currupted or gone
[02:10] <sebsebseb> filo1234: that won't help
[02:10] <ohmy> sebsebseb: i have only 1matlab license for tomorrow and i cant re-install ubuntu
[02:11] <sebsebseb> ohmy: what do you mean 1matlab?
[02:11] <ohmy> filo1234: save me from re installing ubuntu please
[02:11] <ohmy> sebsebseb: Mathworks matlab
[02:11] <Grappleseed> every time I open my IRC client I get logged into #ubuntu-unregistered or whatever it is
[02:11] <sebsebseb> ohmy: if your boot is currupted or gone, trying to re install Grub won't help
[02:11] <filo1234> sebsebseb: an option is to install GRUB in another partitiona maybe
[02:11] <BluesKaj> lotus , open alsamixer in the terminal and crank all the ctrls up
[02:11] <filo1234> sebsebseb: has a /boot partiton separated?
[02:11] <sebsebseb> filo1234: still need a /boot in Ubuntu for that to work, as far as I know
[02:12] <LaithBSoul-kun> in here there is a tut to reinstall grub http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275
[02:12] <BluesKaj> oops , forgot to scroll down , after being away for a while
[02:12] <sebsebseb> vbundi: ohmy has a simialr issue it seems
[02:12] <Emotard> sebsebseb last resort is use boot and nook to format the drive clean reinstall linux
[02:12] <sebsebseb> ohmy: when the computer is turned on,  the bootloader shows, Grub right? ,but you try to boot up  Ubuntu or Windows 7, and get an error message
[02:12] <lotus> BluesKaj: did that.  When I go to change the volume, it changes the "front" volume until it's full, then raises the master volume.  After the "Front" meter is full, the changes to the master have no effect.
[02:12] <sebsebseb> ?
[02:13] <Emotard> grub will be reinstalled clean and mbr wont be corrupt
[02:13] <sebsebseb> Emotard: your on about dban? dban doesn't need to be used for this
[02:13] <filo1234> /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?) maybe this is important
[02:13] <lotus> BluesKaj: and in fact when I lower the "front" volume, it lowers the master volume until it's empty and then it starts to lower front, causing a decrease in decibles.
[02:14] <ohmy> sebsebseb: No, when i restart i can't see grub message at all (at least i cant see grub-pc menu) instead i got a back screen with can't find module
[02:14] <sebsebseb> ohmy: ok that means, that maybe your MBR has got currupted
[02:14] <Eug> hi there, just wondering if its possible to restart ubuntu without restarting computer
[02:14] <sebsebseb> ohmy: however the Windows 7  CD, should let you sort out the MBR, so that at least Windows 7 can still boot
[02:14] <sebsebseb> ohmy: well DVD
[02:14] <brandon420> can anyone in here help me set up conky?
[02:15] <sebsebseb> vbundi: in your case, you got rid of /boot.  Grub still shows, but you try to open up a partition, and get error message?
[02:15] <Emotard> but using the windows 7 cd to reinstall the mbr will stop you from installing ubuntu again
[02:15] <sebsebseb> Emotard: right, but
[02:15] <sebsebseb> Emotard: ohmy 's Ubuntu install is probably currupted anyway, because he/she used the  driver  in Windows for trying to access the Ext4
[02:15] <Emotard> Fer point
[02:16] <sebsebseb> Emotard: also apparently ohmy coudn't even use the DVD to make Windows boot
[02:16] <vbundi> sebsebseb: on boot the system says error: file not found. / grub rescue> _
[02:16] <sebsebseb> vbundi: why did you delete /boot?
[02:16] <brandon420> can anyone help me set up conky?
[02:17] <brandon420> i cant seem to get it working.
[02:17] <Eug> anyone?
[02:17] <sebsebseb> Emotard: oh ohmy left
[02:17] <Eug> possible to reboot ubuntu without restarting computer
[02:17] <Eug> is this it? sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[02:17] <brandon420> yes.
[02:17] <th0r> brandon420: did you copy /etc/conky/conky.conf to ~/.conkyrc?
[02:17] <brandon420> in tty 1
[02:17] <Eug> brandon420:  thank you
[02:17] <Emotard> Yer he/she did :( probs to much for him/her
[02:17] <filo1234> Eug: only session yes
[02:17] <filo1234> Eug: sudo service gdm restart
[02:17] <brandon420> th0r i made a new one.
[02:18] <Eug> filo1234: ok because when i logged in shh it, said rebot/restart is required
[02:18] <sebsebseb> Emotard: yeah I guess, but  if they are going to get this  fixed, they need to stick around really
[02:18] <brandon420> th0r http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6365702
[02:18] <brandon420> is that right?
 im sure he will get back on to google
[02:18] <Eug> filo1234:  thank you
[02:18] <sebsebseb> Emotard: what they done isn't that easy to fix, but I have ideas on how to do it :)
[02:18] <BluesKaj> lotus, the master volume and front volume are the same in a stereo 2 speaker setup , you have to configure the mastet volume separately for all channels in pulseauduio in multichannel systems afaik
[02:18] <filo1234> Eug: but after some ugrades....if it is you need to reboot all system
[02:19] <Eug> ok
[02:19] <sebsebseb> ohe: ok welcome back :)
[02:19] <th0r> brandon420: does it do anything?
[02:19] <sebsebseb> ohmy: welcome back :)
[02:19] <ohmy> GOD it works
[02:19] <vbundi> sebsebseb: raid error
[02:19] <Eug> filo1234: is it still ok to install other programs?
[02:19] <sebsebseb> ohmy: What does?
[02:19] <Eug> without rebooting/
[02:19] <ohmy> sebner, it works !
[02:19] <vbundi> sebsebseb: ie. mistake
[02:19] <sebsebseb> !raid | vbundi
[02:20] <sebsebseb> ohmy: you can boot up Ubuntu and Windows 7?
[02:20] <lotus> BluesKaj: That's probably my problem.  I have a multi-channel soundcard but I'm only using the 2 standard ports for in and out.
[02:20] <brandon420> th0r, 	context
[02:20] <brandon420> 	being NULL.   1. don't use that driver in Windows, as you now know as well.  2.   have your data backed up for example an external hard drive,  hard disks can just fail and so on
[02:21] <ohmy> headkase314, indeed
[02:21] <Barridus> is there a way to control automount of usb devices on a per-device level?  i have one device i would not like automounted, but the rest are convenient to keep that
[02:21] <reggi_au> hey folks
[02:21] <sebsebseb> ohmy: also  Ubuntu can access Windows parititons anyway
[02:21] <sebsebseb> ohmy: so not much point for that driver
[02:22] <BluesKaj> lotus also if you have a volume ctrl on the speakers then i would use that as the final volume ctrl , leave everything in alsamixer cranked up
[02:22] <ohmy> sebsebseb, of course, i've never been afraid as the last two hours
[02:23] <zmy> hello
[02:23] <lotus> BluesKaj: And normally I do.  However, my headphones ignore that volume control.
[02:23] <lotus> :(
[02:23] <Emotard> lol its good to have a backup drive
[02:23] <rsvp> when we  create a bootable USB Ubuntu drive, does the format actually matter:  FAT32 or ext4 ??
[02:24] <reggi_au> would someone pls point me in the right direction? i'm want to know how to setup a network boot so I can network install windows xp home, pro, vista, run clonezilla, UBCD4WIN. This is mainly setup so I can support / troubleshoot / repair laptops and desktops.
[02:24] <Emotard> rsvp: i asume FAT32 being windows and ext4 being linux if you format and install onto FAT32 then the usb drive would still be compatible with windows and linux
[02:25] <Emotard> were as ext4 will only be compatible with linux
[02:25] <headkase314> rsvp, also I don't think you can boot off a ext4 usb stick - I think it needs to be fat32
[02:25] <headkase314> rsvp, I'm fairly certain of that
[02:26] <latagore> Is there any reliable way to repair grub when something screws up
[02:26] <Barridus> having flash memory formatted ext4 is counterproductive anyways, no need for journaling etc
[02:26] <Emotard> lol latagore: there was just a hole convo about that
[02:26] <latagore> Emotard: I will now scroll up and read
[02:26] <BluesKaj> !grub | latagore
[02:27] <Emotard> latagore it was this part sudo grub-install --root-directory=/998554f7-1d46-4c2e-bc1b-18d8af586736 /dev/sda
[02:27] <latagore> BluesKaj: None of the solutions on that howto page work for me
[02:27] <ethana3> greetings, all-- i'm trying to update the bios of a dell dimension 4400 with ubuntu 10.04.1, but this requires putting a bios executable onto a floppy disk
[02:27] <Doyle> Ahhh, Grub2 is featured in Linux Journal this month... haven't gotten up the article yet
[02:28] <rsvp> Emotard and headkase314, thanks for your input: the interface for usb-creator-gtk was not specific about the format issue -- curious though, why a hard drive can boot from ext4 but NOT the flash drive -- what's technically behind this difference.
[02:28] <ethana3> .......ubuntu isn't handling the floppy disk well at all.  i accidentally the block device
[02:28] <latagore> Emotard: That command makes absolutely no sense to me; I'm not sure if I have a drive with the same ID
[02:29] <BluesKaj> latagore, then tell us what the state of your grub is , so we can try to help
[02:29] <reggi_au> would someone pls point me in the right direction? i'm want to know how to setup a network boot so I can network install windows xp home, pro, vista, run clonezilla, UBCD4WIN. This is mainly setup so I can support / troubleshoot / repair laptops and desktops.
[02:29] <ethana3> i've formatted the thing using fdutils, but I can't for the life of me mount it like normal
[02:29] <Emotard> rsvp: that one i do not know its a very good qustion to search for really
[02:29] <Emotard> rsvp: that one i will be reading about tomor lol
[02:30] <Dr_Willis> reggi_au:  for network booting/installing windows - see #windows  but that may not even be possible. as for linux based os's its proberly possible.
[02:30] <latagore> BluesKaj: I ran my laptop recovery from the Grub menu out of curiousity of what it was; but I exited when I figured what out what it was (I didn't okay it) and then when I rebooted it, then Grub didn't recognize the partition Ubuntu was on
[02:30] <Dr_Willis> !install | reggi_au
[02:30] <Barridus> is there a way to control usb automount?  everything's moved around since the last time i ran ubuntu
[02:30] <rsvp> Emotard, very curious indeed, thanks again!
[02:30] <headkase314> ethana3, you are in dangerous territory trying to update your computers BIOS without Windows.  Be very certain of what you are doing.
[02:30] <ethana3> headkase314: this particular method does not require windows
[02:30] <Dr_Willis> Barridus:  give the usb drives a proper Label and they should mount to /media/LabelName
[02:31] <Blue1> latagore: http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=314
[02:31] <ethana3> ....but I do require being able to like, put a file onto the floppy drive.
[02:31] <Steve132> So, does anyone else have a weird problem with gedit where the embedded terminal colorscheme doesn't match the system default color scheme
[02:31] <Steve132> ?
[02:31] <filo1234> ethana3: but require an executable file on a floppy :D
[02:31] <Barridus> Dr_Willis, i meant controlling whether or not it does automount, it works fine i just want to avoid it in certain cases
[02:31] <headkase314> ethana3, almost all BIOS flashing tools are Windows based.  Is it DOS?  And will it not fail and break your computer if you use FreeDOS?  You need to know exactly before hand.
[02:31] <ethana3> it said it was a bios executable
[02:31] <reggi_au> thanks Dr_Willis
[02:31] <Emotard> latagore what state is your grub in ?
[02:32] <latagore> Emotard: How do you want me to answer that
[02:32] <ethana3> hmm
[02:32] <filo1234> ethana3: you need a flasher file for your bios on a floppy
[02:32] <headkase314> ethana3, a failed BIOS update can require you to send your computer back to Dell through the mail for the factory to fix.  If the BIOS update fails there is an actual chip on the mainboard that needs to be pulled and replaced.
[02:32] <Blue1> latagore: I have successfully used that procedure several times, and others have as well.   that seems to work
[02:32] <Emotard> latagore: Main reason you want to reinstall grub
[02:33] <ethana3> filo1234: http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&releaseid=R45077&SystemID=DIM_PNT_P4_4400&servicetag=&os=BIOSA&osl=en&deviceid=308&devlib=0&typecnt=0&vercnt=6&catid=-1&impid=-1&formatcnt=0&libid=1&typeid=-1&dateid=-1&formatid=-1&source=-1&fileid=53022
[02:33] <filo1234> headkase314: well said
[02:33] <Emotard> latagore: has some thing scred up ? you didant specify what
[02:33] <Emotard> screwed
[02:33] <BluesKaj> latagore, I have to ask the obvious , did you sudo update-grub ?
[02:33] <latagore> Emotard: Grub is expecting a partition
[02:33] <latagore> Emotard: The partition is there but it can't see it
[02:33] <Dr_Willis> ethana3:  some times you go into the bios and theres a menu item that you select and then it finds/searches for the bios updates.
[02:34] <filo1234> and i think that it is an OT question here..
[02:34] <latagore> BluesKaj: Can't update grub if I'm not running Linux
[02:34] <Blue1> latagore: good luck with that
[02:34] <blunt33232> Ok, I've probably asked this many times. Is there a very similar DVD burning software for Ubuntu similar to "ConvertXToDVD" ?
[02:34] <Emotard> latagore: you can run linux using the live CD
[02:34] <BluesKaj> latagore, well, I didn't know that
[02:34] <ethana3> right now i'm just trying to get ubuntu to mount a floppy drive.
[02:34] <ethana3> that's the question at hand
[02:34] <blunt33232> I will copy/paste this in my notebook so I don't forget
[02:35] <headkase314> ethana3, now if you're on Windows the BIOS updating programs are almost always Windows based and usually you're pretty safe unless the power fails during the update - then you're also mailing your computer.
[02:35] <Barridus> is there a way to control usb automount?  everything's moved around since the last time i ran ubuntu
[02:35] <latagore> Blue1: I'm hoping it will run update-grub when it installs again; but I'll have to try when I actually have the live CD :/
[02:35] <BluesKaj> ok, I'll back off looks like we're getting a lotta cooks in the this kitchen , looking at grub
[02:35] <latagore> Emotard: I don't got a copy on hand at the moment
[02:35] <ethana3> headkase314: i'm not asking for help updating a bios, i just need ubuntu to mount a floppy
[02:35] <Dr_Willis> blunt33232:  To convert 'video' to DVD compatable formats and generate a dvd.iso file i burn to dvd for DVD players. i tend to use 'DeVeDe' Never seen/used ConvertXToDVD
[02:35] <Blue1> latagore: if you follow the recipe I gave you http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=314  it should work.
[02:36] <Masshuu> T.T "                  This aptitude does not have Super Cow Powers."
[02:36] <latagore> Blue1: Yeah, I'm keeping the webpage for future reference
[02:36] <Masshuu> I don't want it then
[02:36] <blunt33232> I have DEVEDE and never had success
[02:36] <headkase314> ethana3, ok, just be careful dude, a failed update when you get to that step would be a disaster.
[02:36] <blunt33232> I mean
[02:36] <blunt33232> Alright this is what happened with Devede
[02:36] <ethana3> every bios and firmware update i've ever done was a standalone thing
[02:36] <Dr_Willis> blunt33232:  i use Devede all the time with no real problems.
[02:36] <ethana3> i've updated my X-25M, my toshiba bios, ..
[02:36] <Emotard> latagore once you got the live cd im sure u will sort it
[02:36] <blunt33232> I burn it both, PAL and NTSC and it doesn't work for EVERY DVD player
[02:36] <blunt33232> but for most it does
[02:37] <latagore> Emotard: do I just change to a different tty or whatever when I get the "Run from this CD, Install onto hard disk..."?
[02:37] <Dr_Willis> blunt33232:  Ive had DVD players (cheap junky ones) that refuse to play SOME comercialy made (from the stores) dvd's  - some are just picky (or junky)
[02:37] <headkase314> ethana3, does this guide help for mounting the floppy -> http://www.fdlinux.com/mountfloppyhowto.html#Examples
[02:37] <BluesKaj> blunt33232, look into am app called tovid
[02:37] <BluesKaj> an app
[02:38] <BluesKaj> !tovid
[02:38] <blunt33232> exactly Dr_Willis this one was $20
[02:38] <Dr_Willis> blunt33232:  Now you know why it was only $20
[02:38] <Emotard> latagore Yes / or follow the steps on blue1 link
[02:38] <Blue1> Dr_Willis: I got a lot of "quality challenged" B movies on dvd like 12 movies for $5 at wally's world - they all seem to work, thus far.
[02:39] <Dr_Willis> blunt33232:  thats not really a fault of DeVeDE
[02:39] <blunt33232> yea
[02:39] <latagore> Emotard: It asks to change to a terminal but I can't boot up Ubuntu from the CD to run gnome-terminal
[02:39] <Dr_Willis> Blue1:  these $25 dvd players grandma gave out at Xmas wouldent play a lot of DVD's like the StarWars DVD's and so forth.. very annoying.
[02:39] <blunt33232> well
[02:39] <blunt33232> thank you for all your help everyone
[02:39] <blunt33232> um
[02:40] <Dr_Willis> blunt33232:  it could be they dont like DVD+r or DVD-r or similer quirks also
[02:40] <bart_> hi all, i bought an Ubuntu/Dell last week, and have managed to get the video working correctly (the default proprietary drivers blow) and have gotten compiz to work somewhat.  for some reason i have only one desktop and it wont let me change it in compiz.  anyone else have that problem?
[02:40] <Emotard> latagore: so you cant boot from CD at all
[02:40] <soreau> bart_: The default driver is not proprietary
[02:40] <lingm> what is a recommended feed reader in gnome?
[02:40] <latagore> Emotard: I bet if I knew the command/boot option I could run Ubuntu as command line rather than GUI
[02:41] <blunt33232> I'll try oh
[02:41] <Blue1> lingm: rss reader?  I use akregator which is for kde but works in gnome
[02:41] <blunt33232> I didn't know that Dr_Willis
[02:41]  * ethana3 restarts
[02:41] <soreau> bart_: Compiz uses viewports, not desktops. You want to have desktops always set to 1 then change the horizontal size instead
[02:41] <bart_> soreau, the default one on the ubuntu install disk
[02:41] <blunt33232> Thanks Dr_Willis
[02:41] <soreau> bart_: Yes, it is not a proprietary driver
[02:41] <lingm> Blue1, yes, but i don't want to get all the extra libraries. i'd rather a gnome/gtk based app
[02:42] <Emotard> latagore: its a strange one
[02:42] <sarthor> HI, is there any free linux based database software that can handle the supermarket pos/accounting having server and client, and can support printer, barcode readers etc.
[02:42] <Blue1> lingm: understandable
[02:42] <latagore> Emotard: I can't get another Linux distro to work with GUI but I can make the command line work on that distro so that's just my assumption
[02:42] <blunt33232> Question Dr_Willis
[02:42] <blunt33232> for common DVD players, what format should I use?
[02:42] <doc|home> hello, I'm trying to migrate from a gentoo .evolution directory to evolution under ubuntu. I don't have a backup archive. just the .evolution dir. Anyone got any info on how to convert the directory to match?
[02:42] <israfel> So you change the Compiz setting for how many desktops and it doesn't update?
[02:43] <bart_> soreau, been there, done that, but it only lets me choose the first one in the desktop switcher
[02:43] <blunt33232> PAL or NTSC
[02:43] <BluesKaj> sarthor, there's an old program that some supermarkets still use , unix based ..it's called ELVIS
[02:43] <soreau> bart_: What desktop switcher?
[02:43] <Dr_Willis> blunt33232: \it depends on what your TV does.. Its NTSC here in america.
[02:43] <Emotard> Latagore: is all you want todo is reinstall grub if so then the live disc and the links given should work
[02:43] <Blue1> lingm: firefox seems to be able to handle rss feeds.  I have used liferea -- it's okay.
[02:43] <blunt33232> ah alright thank you Dr_Willis
[02:43] <bart_> gnome desktop switcher?
[02:44] <Emotard> latalgore: boot from disc using ubuntu live CD, and follow the step by step for reinstalling grub/grub update
[02:44] <bart_> What they work the workspace switcher
[02:44] <soreau> bart_: compiz uses viewports which are part of the EMWH spec. If any app only supports desktops and not viewports, it has missing functionality and should be fixed
[02:44] <israfel> latagore, There's many linux pocket guides that give almost all of the commands. It's not too hard to do.
[02:45] <Blue1> soreau: we won't get into flamewars put compiz has documentation issues
[02:45] <lingm> Blue1, didn't know firefox read rss too - built in or through a plugin?
[02:45] <[sleepy]> im trying to uninstall all this itunes crap on ubuntu and the uninstall keeps on freezing up
[02:45] <Blue1> lingm: builtin
[02:45] <soreau> Blue1: There is the wiki which I feel is sufficient
[02:46] <[sleepy]> any suggestuion
[02:46] <seanp2k> I am having issues with cpufreqd just arbitrarily deciding to set my CPU to 2.4ghz / 800mhz
[02:46] <[sleepy]> suggestion
[02:46] <bart_> soreau, thank you, i will mess with it and see if i can get it to work using compiz workspace switcher maybe.
[02:46] <Emotard> http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download_main.html
[02:46] <Emotard> that is a good pocket guide for ubuntu
[02:46] <soreau> bart_: The default bindings are ctrl+alt+left/right
[02:46] <BluesKaj> seanp2k, install cpufrequtils
[02:46] <seanp2k> I am on 10.04 32-bit and have a Dell D830 laptop with an Intel Centrino / Core2 t7700
[02:47] <Blue1> soreau: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/150690
[02:47] <soreau> bart_: some folks use the easystroke program to switch vps quickly, and works well with compiz from what I hear
[02:47] <seanp2k> BluesKaj: it is installed.  The gnome widget reports the speed corrrectly but does not allow me to set the speed manually
[02:47] <israfel> Plus, you can always use the command line IRC client to come here and chat with uis.
[02:48] <ddilinger> anyone familiar with the flash video player stuttering(in firefox and chrome, in multiple sites like vimeo and youtube) not directly related to buffering?  By that i mean the buffer clearly indicates more of the video is downloaded(perhaps 80% downloaded and i'm viewing at 20%), it is in some way related though because once the file is completely downloaded all stuttering stops
[02:48] <israfel> latagore, I believe the most popular one is irssi
[02:48] <soreau> bart_: then there is the Viewport Switcher plugin you can use to scroll-on-desktop to switch vps
[02:49] <ddilinger> or more precisecly, familiar with how to fix the flash player stuttering in that instance
[02:49] <BluesKaj> seanp2k, sudo /usr/bin/cpufreq-set -g performance or ondemand or whatever setting you want
[02:49] <BluesKaj> seanp2k, it only works for a session tho
[02:49] <israfel> sarthor, Do you not want to use MySQL?
[02:49] <lingm> ddilinger, no, but you can try and debug it by playing the half-loaded cached flash file for a start
[02:49] <Emotard> ddilinger: you tryed to update your video drivers
[02:49] <heffay> kubuntu 10.04 is not identifying my wacom digitizer in my hp tc4200 tablet pc. can someone assist me with troubleshooting? everything ive found online so far says it should just work.
[02:50] <bart_> ctrl+alt+left-right doesn't seem to work, hmm
[02:50] <latagore> israfel: I don't understand
[02:50] <ddilinger> Emotard: yea, i updated the nvidia driver last week, using their binary driver.
[02:50] <ddilinger> lingm: playing the half-loaded file is where the stuttering comes in, or how do you mean?
[02:50] <latagore> israfel: What are you directing me to exactly
[02:50] <Emotard> ddilinger: and b4 you did this was the streaming working ok
[02:50] <ddilinger> Emotard: it was having problems before that as well, its been having this issue for awhile now, just finally getting annoyed and trying to fix it
[02:51] <BluesKaj> seanp2k, I went into admin power manager and dumped the power profiles i didn't want
[02:51] <lingm> ddilinger, play the cached file. for firefox it'll be somewhere in ~/.mozilla/firefox/etc.
[02:52] <Dr_Willis> ddilinger:  i always use some extension to download the flash video, then play it also. similer to what lingm  suggests
[02:52] <latagore> israfel: Never mind, I reread what you said above
[02:53] <bart_> soreau, thank you for your help, i selected desktop cube and it started working :P  i guess im loosing it =]
[02:54] <soreau> bart_: Great
[02:54] <sarthor> israfel, no problem with using mysql, even i am not expert, but i can try
[02:55] <israfel> Pretty slow in here.
[02:55] <Emotard> ddilinger: if none of the above work then it could be a ram issue
[02:55] <sarthor> israfel, it is adhan time, is there too??
[02:55] <zfe> goooood morning tropico
[02:56] <Lances> sarther,Do you have used NOSQL?
[02:56] <sarthor> Lances, No i didn't
[02:57] <blunt3232> I'm looking to copy a DVD. I only have 2 folders of files, It's not a single file like a movie torrent, it's "Audio_TS" and "Video_TS" ...how do I make an exact copy with Ubuntu.
[02:57] <mikeyvee> hey guys i tried sudo rmdir blah and it says it cant becuause its not empty
[02:57] <lingm> mikau_, rm -r
[02:57] <rww> mikeyvee: try sudo rm -r instead
[02:57] <lingm> misfire ;)
[02:58] <Doyle> Lances: Nosql isn't something you can use, it's gerneralization for dbs that don't utilize key relationship structures like sql
[02:58] <mikeyvee> thanks
[02:58] <mikeyvee> how can i change the name of a dir in the terminal
[02:58] <rww> mv oldname newname
[02:58] <Doyle> mikeyvee: use mv
[02:59] <th0r> mikeyvee: you don't rename in linux...you mv the old name to the new name
[02:59] <BluesKaj> blunt3232, k9copy is one that might work
[02:59] <mzuverink> anyone able to help me on two lines of ddclient for dyndns?
[02:59] <Lances> Doyle,but i hear about nosql is very popularity.such as mongodb
[02:59] <BluesKaj> tvtime with family
[03:00] <latagore> israfel: I don't even understand why you referred me to a pocket guide
[03:00] <Lances> It's better than normal relationship database
[03:01] <Doyle> Lances: it's a catchphraise used by the industry to promote alternate db methods than just sql... nosql is a bad term that really represents many other types of db structures.
[03:01] <mikeyvee> thank th0r
[03:01] <blunt3232> How do I open K9Copy Blue1
[03:01] <blunt3232> nvm
[03:01] <Doyle> Lances: rel dbs are useful, and so are document db like mongo for example, if the application is document centric
[03:01] <israfel> latagore, You said you wanted to use the command line instead.
[03:02] <latagore> israfel: I said I wanted to boot to a command line of Ubuntu
[03:02] <Doyle> Lances: it's up to the programmer to decide which db or combination of db strategies to employ for the application.
[03:02] <sontek> When I create a VPN connection, I have to allow it to send all traffic over the tunnel, if I select "Use this connection only for resources on its network" then I can't access any of the servers on the VPN network
[03:02] <israfel> latagore, Need help doing that
[03:02] <white_magic> i'm trying to install ubuntu 10.10 and it's been at 'resizing partition' stage for at least 10 minutes. It doesn't seem rigth. any ideas?
[03:02] <israfel> latagore, There's a few options to do it.
[03:02] <latagore> israfel: Yes, from the live cd; because GRUB ain't working
[03:03] <rww> white_magic: Ubuntu Maverick discussion and support is in #ubuntu+1, not here. Thanks!
[03:03] <white_magic> ok
[03:03] <ChogyDan> white_magic: it could take awhile, depending on the structure of your files
[03:04] <white_magic> its a mostly clean install of win7.. but i also have a clean install of ubuntu 9.04, both of which would be installed alongside ubuntu 10.10
[03:04] <Blue1> blunt3232: I have never successfully used k9copy
[03:04] <Blue1> blunt3232: there's no documenation for it, and for me anyway, it was not intuitive (YMMV applies)
[03:04] <sontek> The only difference between the routes is the destination / gateway with <IP_ADDRESS> is going to ppp0 instead of wlan0
[03:05] <sontek> but the higher orutes should pick up first shouldn't they?
[03:05] <redblacktree> hello, everyone
[03:05] <Blue1> redblacktree: howdy tex
[03:05] <Doyle> sontek: in cisco equipment the routing table priority is reversed, bottom = top prioritiy
[03:05] <cooldman69> this is a extremely random question but what is the term that describes having one color and then all the shades of - to another color?
[03:06] <redblacktree> I am attempting a new ubuntu installation on a new setup (friend's old machine, my new hard drives) -- After the installation completes, it asks to reboot, I click the "reboot" button, and off it goes.
[03:06] <Lances> Doyle, oh I understand. It may only be adapted in certain scenarios
[03:06] <redblacktree> But it doesn't make it very far into the boot process
[03:06] <Blue1> redblacktree: did you do a power off reboot?
[03:06] <redblacktree> I've booted again from the USB stick used to install it, but I don't know where to start troubleshooting the boot problem with the installation.  By the way, I've installed twice now, and rebooted several times.
[03:07] <latagore> israfel: No more Linux for today; I'll figure it out from Google or something
[03:07] <Doyle> Lances: exactly, no one can say mysql is better than mongo or couch is better then cassandra, it's all relative.
[03:07] <redblacktree> Blue1: yep. rebooted using Ctrl-Alt-Del, as well as hard power off
[03:07] <redblacktree> Blue1: I've given it as much as 15 minutes
[03:07] <redblacktree> Blue1: all I get is a blinking cursor
[03:08] <Blue1> redblacktree: does it just loop, or what does it do?  have you tried to ctrl+alt+f1 to see if you can get console?
[03:08] <redblacktree> Blue1: it does not loop.  It will hang on a blinking cursor indefinitely.  The machine is still responding, in that num lock still works and ctrl-alt-del will cause a reboot
[03:09] <redblacktree> Blue1: I have tried ctrl-alt-f1, no console
[03:09] <redblacktree> I'm going to try that one again, after waiting a solid 2 minutes
[03:09] <redblacktree> ctrl-alt-f1 that is
[03:10] <Blue1> redblacktree: couple of questions -- what is the boot device?  hard drive, usb device?  did you install grub to the proper drive (NOT partition?)
[03:10] <switz_> Hey guys I have a problem where whenever I open an application now it maximizes so that I can't see the close maximize minimize buttons anymore.
[03:10] <redblacktree> Blue1: Boot device is two drives, mirrored raid using nvraid on an abn32-sli
[03:11] <redblacktree> Blue1: I accepted all of the defaults for installation
[03:11] <redblacktree> Blue1: I didn't make any choices about where to install grub
[03:11] <redblacktree> that is, abn32-sli motherboard
[03:12] <Doyle> switz_: set the task bar to autohide from it's properties
[03:12] <Blue1> redblacktree: oy vey I am a simple ide or sata guy I have never played with raid -- sorry beyond my knowledge level.  someone with more experience might be able to help.  this may or may not help:  http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=314  YMMV applies.
[03:12] <redblacktree> I rebooted and waited more than 2 minutes, tried ctrl-alt-f1, no console
[03:12] <redblacktree> Blue1: ok.  I think maybe the thing to do now is try the install again, and configure it manually
[03:13] <sinman> whats up with the #ubuntu-unregg channel. I done register but keep going into that channel
[03:13] <redblacktree> Blue1: rather than accepting the defaults
[03:13] <switz_> doyle i tried that it just opens bigger.
[03:13] <redblacktree> Blue1: thanks for your help
[03:13] <Blue1> redblacktree: try that worth a try and it only takes a few minutes
[03:13] <redblacktree> Blue1: yeah, it's nice when it's a new setup.  You can always blow everything away and try again
[03:14] <mzuverink> after replacing my ddclient.conf with the personalized one, do I have do anything else,or will it carry out its duties without my intervention?
[03:14] <Blue1> redblacktree: yes, I'd give that a shot, nothing to lose but it might fix it.
[03:14] <sinman> k now the reason i'm here I have partition that is pointing to /home/my_username/Downloads but when I go into my home folder that folder is locked, how can i unlock that folder so I can sue them
[03:15] <iflema> sinman did you identify yourself e.g. /msg nickserv identify [password]
[03:15] <Blue1> sinman: sounds like a permissions problem
[03:15] <sinman> ifkema yes I did laast night and did what the email said
[03:15] <Doyle> switz_: use Alt+Space to see the window menu, then if you cant see it, press M to select Move
[03:15] <sinman> Blue1: how do I fix that
[03:15] <Blue1> sinman: chmod
[03:15] <headkase314> Blue1, chown?
[03:16] <Blue1> sinman: chown changes the owner, chmod changes the permissions
[03:16] <sinman> blue1: k
[03:16] <Doyle> sinman: be careful of chown... don't chown / for example... it breaks stuff
[03:17] <sinman> the current owner is root and not the username
[03:17] <Blue1> sinman: try this:  ls -l | grep Download and paste the output here.
[03:18] <sinman> k
[03:18] <wasnik> hi

[03:20] <Doyle> switz_: ok, change your screen resolution to something else then back, it should adjust the window sizes of all your open apps
[03:21] <wasnik> hi Bluel are you talking to me
[03:21] <redblacktree> ok, question: I chose "advanced options" on the last setp of installation, and I have some bootloader options.  Under "Device for boot loader installation:" it lists /dev/sda -- which device is this?
[03:21] <Blue1> wasnik: no helping sinman
[03:21] <Doyle> wasnik: why did you delete it?
[03:21] <Blue1> redblacktree: that's wher eyou want to install the bootloader, on the device NOT a partition
[03:22] <redblacktree> I can also select what appears to be a more specific device: "/dev/mapper/nvidia_jajadejc Linux device-mapper (mirror) (1.0 TB)
[03:22] <simpleblue1> likely the hard drive red : drive c
[03:22] <redblacktree> Blue1: ok, so I should leave this alone then
[03:22] <wasnik> i was havin no sound on my computer, so  i read on ubuntu forum i am supposed to add these modules
[03:22] <wasnik> so i added some extra modules
[03:22] <Blue1> redblacktree: if it says /dev/sda yes
[03:22] <redblacktree> or perhaps, again, it's a question for someone with raid exp.
[03:22] <wasnik> and wicd stopped working
[03:22] <Blue1> redblacktree: yeah that might be an issue -- not certain
[03:23] <uchobby> I am also looking for help with sound wasnik
[03:23] <sinman> Blue1: I done it drwxr-xr-x 3 bjlvrch root    4096 2010-09-06 21:12 Downloads
[03:23] <my_haz> how do i find the chipset of my wifi card, `lsusb` just show "Ralink"
[03:23] <Blue1> sinman: can you now access that?
[03:23] <redblacktree> Blue1: Thanks again for your help.  I'm going to leave it installing and check on it in the morning.
[03:23] <redblacktree> Take care, all.
[03:23] <Blue1> redblacktree:  best of luck
[03:25] <sinman> yes I have about 3 other partitions for different type of storage do I do those the same way except put their name in the place of Downloads?
[03:25] <uchobby> where should I start looking for sound issues on my 10.04?
[03:25] <wasnik> Doyle u there
[03:25] <Blue1> sinman: well the question really is, what did you do to change the owner from yourself to root?
[03:25] <Doyle> yea... say my name when you talk to me or I won't see it... I'm in other channels also
[03:26] <Doyle> wasnik: ok, gotcha, just a minute
[03:26] <sinman> Blue1: nothing, it done it afgter I had installed ubuntu using custom partitions
[03:27] <Doyle> wasnik: have you uninstalled and reinstalled wicd? start with the easy stuff I guess
[03:27] <wasnik> nope didnt do that
[03:27] <Doyle> wasnik: go for it, let me know what happens
[03:27] <wasnik> doyle: ok sure
[03:27] <Blue1> sinman: well that's the general procedure for changing the owner to whatever - be careful doing that with system files or you may find that linux no longer works correctly. but if you stick to user files, you should be gtg
[03:28] <sinman> Blue1: i will because i need acces for these particuliarpartition since I set them up for storage
[03:29] <Blue1> sinman: just be careful out there.
[03:29] <Blue1> okay going to take a break
[03:29] <sinman> Blue1: I will, because if I have any tyupe of questions I'll ask here first so I don't screw nothing up while I'm learning
[03:30] <sinman> cd /Videos
[03:30] <Blue1> sinman: dont be araid to ask, even if it seems trivial -- that's how you learn.
[03:30] <sinman> oops forgot to switch over to the terminal. lol
[03:31] <sinman> Blue1: I will, because I want to get around in linux as good as I did with windows but better, so I have a long road ahead of me on learning Linux
[03:32] <Blue1> sinman: time and patience.  I am 5 years out from windows now.
[03:33] <Blue1> sinman: Today I start my 6th year with Linux.  Someday I hope to be a weenie.
[03:34]  * Mr_Sir started out with 7.10
[03:34] <sinman> blue1: nice, I just wish I stuck with linux back around 2000 - 2004 when I just messed around with it for the heck of it
[03:34] <Mr_Sir> tried some other distros, setted back with ubuntu
[03:34] <Blue1> sinman: you may find this site helpful http://www.pkill-9.com
[03:34] <Blue1> Mr_Sir: I started with SuSE 9

[03:38] <jshriver> Hello
[03:38] <jshriver> Is there a way to resume downloads with wget?
[03:38] <jrib> jshriver: -c
[03:39] <Cuervo> How do you install CUDA in ubuntu 10.04? I can't figure out what to download from the Nvidia website... I am running 10.04 64 bit edition
[03:39] <jshriver> ty, downloading a 1.2 Tb dataset, and really didn't want to have to write a script to curl the remainder individual files
[03:40] <jrib> jshriver: use sneakernet
[03:40] <jshriver> ?
[03:40] <jshriver> apt-cach'ing now
[03:40] <jrib> jshriver: nah, put on your sneakers and walk the data over :)
[03:40] <jshriver> can that be used in conjunction with files already grabbed?
[03:40] <jshriver> oh lol
[03:40] <jshriver> it's somewhere in Finland or Sweden not sure ;)
[03:41] <jrib> !away > Key_Gruin
[03:41] <incognito> so I try to run md5sum on my 10.04 cd to get the md5sum and the terminal tells me that Ubuntu-Server 1.04 LTS i386      is a directory. How dumb is that? now I can't run an md5sum on my isos?
[03:41] <jrib> incognito: are you sure it's not a directory...?
[03:41] <jshriver> maybe it was automounted via loopback?
[03:41] <incognito> It is a directory, but it is also a cd
[03:41] <bsytko> does anyone know how to adjust how far the mouse wheel scrolls in 10.04?
[03:41] <jrib> !verify > incognito
[03:42] <jrib> incognito: ubottu will tell you how to md5sum a cd
[03:42] <jshriver> md5sum -c filename.md5
[03:42] <Guest24211> hi everyone
[03:42] <Mr_Sir> Hi Guest
[03:43] <incognito> jsriver & jrib thanks
[03:43] <Guest24211> my nickname wants to be Compiz Addict or ZeroClass but that's not happening
[03:43] <Guest24211> for some reason
[03:43] <Guest24211> is there a command for that?
[03:43] <Mr_Sir> and you've tried /nick  Compiz Addict
[03:44] <Guest24211> nope, I used the configuration in my IRC client, will try that now though
[03:44] <CompizAddict> it works
[03:44] <Mr_Sir> hurra
[03:44] <Mr_Sir> :)
[03:44] <CompizAddict> I can't have a space but oh well
[03:45] <Mr_Sir> most people use a _
[03:45] <CompizAddict> so, how do I register my name so I don't have to go through the security question?
[03:45] <jrib> !register | CompizAddict
[03:46] <CompizAddict> !register | CompizAddict
[03:46] <seanp2k> BluesKaj: There is no control panel for this; additionally, editing the /etc/cpufreqd.conf manually doesn't see to do anything
[03:47] <seanp2k> I have the max set to 80% and the min to 20% but still it runs at 100%
[03:47] <Mr_Sir> seanp2k: your cpu supports scaling I suppose
[03:48] <Mr_Sir> ?
[03:48] <seanp2k> Mr_Sir: it is a Dell Latitude D830 with a Centrino Core2duo T7700
[03:48] <CompizAddict> well, that's enough testing IRC for one day (have to go to bed now). Bye everyone.
[03:48] <seanp2k> Mr_Sir: Speedstep is enabled in BIOS; if it is disabeld it runs at 600mhz
[03:48] <Mr_Sir> seanp2k: I'd think it would then.
[03:49] <seanp2k> Mr_Sir: yes, it works fine in Windows 7
[03:49] <Mr_Sir> seanp2k: ok well then it is supported..
[03:49] <seanp2k> Mr_Sir: lsmod shows the CPUID module also
[03:50] <simpleblue1> my mousepad is not able to scroll when i use the right edge of the pad. how can i fix that? Already tried System->Preference->Mouse-> Edge Scrolling
[03:51] <intmed> how to control system volume from commandline
[03:51] <hipstersandwich> simpleblue: can you give more details?
[03:51] <incognito> I'm not checking md5sum in windows, I'm checking it in 10.04. How do I ask ubottu questions? Thanks
[03:52] <incognito> !ubottu | incognito
[03:52] <hipstersandwich> simpleblue: Did you try restarting after applying changes?
[03:52] <leuhiah> anyone knows plf
[03:53] <simpleblue> yes, i used to be able to scroll using my mouse pad (right edge). then i had changed a setting in the mouse menu and taken off 'edge scrolling' and it never came back. i'm using 10.10 beta1. netbook.
[03:53] <simpleblue> i'm new to this :)
[03:53] <hipstersandwich> simpleblue: It is a beta, so bugs are to be expected.  Did you file it in Launchpad?
[03:54] <simpleblue> no, but i can
[03:54] <hipstersandwich> Go ahead.
[03:54] <simpleblue> sure, will do
[03:55] <extor> Is there a way to enable full write caching in the kernel so all writes are cached into RAM and then occasionally flushed to disk?
[03:56] <incognito> How do I ask ubottu how to md5sum in Lucid Lynx?
[03:57] <headkase314> !md5 | incognito
[03:57] <hipstersandwich> Ubottu is on point.
[03:58] <hipstersandwich> Maybe not.
[03:58] <incognito> I already looked at those websites and they don't have the answer
[03:58] <mini-HOWTO> name
[03:58] <incognito> when I run the command the terminal tells me that the cd is a directory
[03:59] <Mr_Sir> ubutto is very responsive too.. my supybot isn't as fast..
[03:59] <Mr_Sir> although it's on a pretty loaded system
[03:59] <hipstersandwich> incognito: Can I get screen caps?
[03:59] <perlsyntax> Has anyone try out ubuntu 10.10 beta yet?
[04:00] <Noz3001> perlsyntax, on it now

[04:00] <leuhiah> how to open .plf
[04:00] <hipstersandwich> perlsyntax: My friend has, he says it is speedy.  I hear another had a problem with the trackpad.
[04:00] <perlsyntax> cool i hear i was like mint.
[04:00] <ratdog> hi, my error, http://paste.ubuntu.com/489556/
[04:00] <rww> Mr_Sir: You realize it's only supported on the desktop for three years and that five-year support is for servers, right?
[04:00] <Tm0> Hi everyone i stupidly closed my port 21, can anyone help me open it?
[04:00]  * hipstersandwich will try it when it is a stable release due to fear.
[04:00] <Mr_Sir> leuhia: sudo use the document viewer
[04:00] <perlsyntax> maybe i download it.
[04:01] <Mr_Sir> rww, yep.. that's partly why I installed the server version.
[04:01] <perlsyntax> is beta stable?
[04:01] <rww> perlsyntax: no, that's why it's beta.
[04:01] <ratdog> lol
[04:01] <rww> Mr_Sir: It's based on which packages you have, not which edition you installed :\
[04:01] <incognito> hipstersandwich I found a command I hadn't tried yet. I think it's calculating right now....( md5sum /dev/cdrom)
[04:01] <perlsyntax> ok maybe i tet it out to see if my video card will work on it.
[04:02] <rww> they publish a list that says what's supported until when. it's all very confusing :(
[04:02] <ratdog> someone check my paste? http://paste.ubuntu.com/489556/
[04:02] <hipstersandwich> incognito: Keep me posted
[04:02] <Tm0> Hi everyone i stupidly closed my port 21, can anyone help me open it?
[04:02] <Mr_Sir> rww, I installed ubuntu-server as it is supported for five years.
[04:02] <hipstersandwich> Tm0: How did you close it?
[04:02] <Mr_Sir> I don't know what else to say :p
[04:03] <incognito> what is it called when you paste a screen cap and post the url to the room/
[04:03] <rww> Mr_Sir: the command-line Ubuntu system and server-related packages, regardless of whether you got them from a Server or Desktop CD, are supported for five years. Anything else, including graphical stuff, is not.
[04:03] <hipstersandwich> incognito: Pasting a screen cap.
[04:03] <rww> but if you've only using server-related packages, I guess this isn't a problem. It sounded like you were using it as a desktop computer, though.
[04:04] <Tm0> @hipstersandwich i let a friend who said it would be safer on my computer to do it to my server. I didn't know it'd stop FTP.
[04:04] <incognito> yeah, but where are the instruction on how to do it/
[04:05] <ratdog> http://paste.ubuntu.com/489556/
[04:05] <hipstersandwich> Tm0: What are you using?  Ubuntu, I'd assume, but what version?
[04:05] <guest0001> could someone please paste me the link to  the page that tells me how to setup gmail with alpine, i'm using 10.4
[04:05] <hipstersandwich> guest0001: I think you mean 10.04?
[04:05] <guest0001> yes
[04:05] <guest0001> sorry
[04:06] <hipstersandwich> guest0001: No worries.
[04:06] <hipstersandwich> guest0001: Did you google it?
[04:06] <karma_police> i keep getting "could not grab your mouse" error when attempting to load package manager
[04:06] <incognito> If I try to paste a terminal screen ubottu wil complain, but there is a website that I can do it on. I need to know so I can paste a screen of my mdesg | vga so I can ask a question about blacklisting
[04:06] <ratdog> :/
[04:06] <hipstersandwich> incognito: Just PM me.

[04:07] <hipstersandwich> guest0001: What sort of errors?
[04:08] <walterj89_> hey is there an /etc/init.d or /etc/rc.d by default in Ubuntu 10.04  ?    What is the prefered method of initiating scripts at boot?

[04:21] <mobasher> can you guys help me set permissions for my home drive i think i missed up
[04:21] <mobasher> messed*
[04:22] <Random832> mobasher: what did you do?
[04:22] <mobasher> can you guys help me set permissions for my home folder
[04:22] <omid771> does anybody know where i can find the /boot/grub/menu.lst  in ubuntu 10.04
[04:22] <pfifo> omid771, /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[04:22] <mobasher> Random832>> i was trying to mimic an account like mine to give all stuff to that and see if that works..and i messed up but i got the permissions but ti's showing (drwxr-xr-x 2 moe  moe  file.txt)
[04:23] <Random832> well that means it's a directory, but why is it .txt ?
[04:23] <mobasher> Random832>. example given bud
[04:24] <mobasher> Random832>. let me pastbin it wait
[04:24] <Random832> i guess i don't see what your problem is
[04:24] <omid771> pfifo: thank you
[04:24] <mobasher> Random832 >> http://pastebin.com/7eKxFcTL
[04:25] <Random832> mobasher: i don't understand, what are you trying to accomplish, and what's the problem?
[04:26] <mobasher> Random832 >> i'm confuesed myself..lol..i was trying to copy home path contents to the other user folder when i did i had a permissions problem i changed the permissions and it got changed on my home folder
[04:26] <Random832> i still don't understand
[04:26] <Random832> and you haven't said what commands you did
[04:26] <mobasher> chown moe:moe /home/moe
[04:27] <pfifo> mobasher, you home directory looks fine, can you reproduce the permission error?
[04:27] <Random832> and what's actually _wrong_ with the permissions
[04:27] <mobasher> chmod 644 /home/moe
[04:27] <Random832> uh, it should be 755 for a directory not 644
[04:27] <mobasher> Random832 >>aha..okay there is the prblem...
[04:27] <mobasher> here is the home drive permissions
[04:27] <mobasher> http://pastebin.com/L6bigReA
[04:28] <Random832> that's... 0700 - when did you do 0700?
[04:28] <Random832> not that there's anything wrong with 0700 in particular, but i don't see anything indicating you did 644
[04:28] <mobasher> almost messed up my desktop i must have did 700 or something too
[04:28] <mobasher> lol
[04:29] <mobasher> so i should change my home drive permissions to 755 (chmod 755 /home/moe)
[04:29] <incognito>  I burned and installed 10.04 installation CD. The installation seems to run fine, ejects my CD and tells me to boot into my newly installed system. The first boot runs normally and I get a command-line interface in the right resolution (1024 x 768). My server is. But on the second and any following (re)boot, the system fails to load. After my HP splash screen it shortly shows a blinking cursor on a black screen. Then the screen goes completely black
[04:29] <incognito> , my monitor starts searching for input and goes to standby. I use the power button to shut down.
[04:31] <mobasher> Random832 >> should i change the permissiosn to 755?
[04:31] <dpac_> incognito: Try nomodeset fix. Which graphic chipset do you have?

[04:31] <Random832> mobasher: i can't tell what you did where - that listing doesn't indicate that you _actually_ set anything to 644
[04:31] <ratdog> http://paste.ubuntu.com/489556/
[04:31] <Lanks> i want to do a find /home/name/* -print file.txt but when I print the filenames into the text file i only want the filenames and not the full path. Is this possible? If yes how? thanks
[04:31] <Random832> i still don't understand what you're trying to do or what the problem is
[04:32] <dpac_> incognito: http://goo.gl/at07
[04:32] <mobasher> Random832>> how do i set it to show like drwxr-xr-x
[04:32] <white_magic> well, i successfully screwed up GRUB2 (after deleting an unused ubuntu partition, running grub-update, and rebooting). it states 'error: unknown filesystem'. any simple way to fix it?
[04:32] <Random832> that's 0755
[04:32] <mobasher> okay great
[04:32] <Random832> but have you actually had any errors, or do you just want it to look like that? there's nothing fundamentally _wrong_ with 0700 [drwx------]
[04:32] <ratdog> debian, "live long an debian"
[04:33] <mobasher> Random832 >> yes many...my whole desktop was frozen..then booted into the recovery and fixed it
[04:33] <dpac_> Lanks: I guess if you cd into that directory before finding, it should work. cd /home/name/
[04:33] <pfifo> white_magic, reinstall grub
[04:33] <dpac_> Lanks: find ./ -print file.txt
[04:33] <mobasher> Random832>> good that i had a backup .hehehe..restored it and off i go but was not sure if i tar'ed it right
[04:33] <incognito> dpac_ I'll have to find out the chipset. what command will list my graphics chipset
[04:33] <Lanks> dpac_: im running it in a shell script
[04:33] <sudokode> Lanks: why are you using find to do a search?
[04:34] <sudokode> wait wow
[04:34] <sudokode> why are you using find to print a dir listing
[04:34] <Lanks> sudokode: so I can rsync some specific files
[04:34] <white_magic> well, i cant boot into my 10.10 install or 9.04 (since i mostly deleted it). so i guess live boot is my only option. how will i install it? or maybe i should just directly edit grub.cfg at this point?
[04:34] <dpac_> Lanks: You can do the same in shell script too.
[04:34] <sudokode> why not just use a redirect
[04:34] <Lanks> what is a redirect?
[04:34] <sudokode> ls /home/name > stuff.txt
[04:35] <mobasher> Random832>> only issue was when i logged in after that it said .dmrc is not set to 644 and my home path was set to read write for everyone
[04:35] <banman> fgfg
[04:35] <dpac_> incognito: lspci should do the work.
[04:35] <Lanks> sudokode: it has to be files newer than 2 days for example
[04:35] <sudokode> hm
[04:35] <pfifo> white_magic, boot a recent livecd and use grub-install
[04:36] <ratdog> openSuSE
[04:37] <mobasher> Random832 >> here i have a problem now..
[04:37] <white_magic> yea, i'll run grub-install. it's grub2, not the legacy one, right?
[04:37] <pfifo> white_magic, yes
[04:37] <mobasher> Random832 >> i logged in as a another user to see if all works good and it gives me an error
[04:37] <incognito> dpac_ looking at the website you showed me, it looks like I can go into the /etc/default/grub and add nomodeset to that one line. Am I correct? I'll try that after I do a lspci
[04:38] <ratdog> fedora
[04:38] <i_is_broke> how do you shut off knotify?
[04:39] <dpac_> incognito: Yes, try that.
[04:39] <sudokode> Lanks: find /home/name -mtime 2 > files.txt
[04:39] <iluminator101> i tried to start k3b i get this error could not start klaucher the name.org.kde.launcher was not provided by any .service files

[04:39] <Lanks> dpac_: thanks
[04:39] <sudokode> I should really use find more
[04:39] <sudokode> :(
[04:40] <Lanks> sudokode: thanks for that
[04:40] <iluminator101> i tried to start k3b i get this error could not start klauncher: the name.org.kde.launcher was not provided by any .service files
[04:40] <sudokode> mhm
[04:40] <sudokode> there are of course ways to narrow that down even more
[04:40] <ratdog> sudokode goto #kUbuntu
[04:40] <sudokode> like a -name pattern
[04:40] <sudokode> ratdog: why
[04:41] <ratdog> cause this is #ubuntu ?
[04:41] <ratdog> heh
[04:41] <sudokode> what difference does that make
[04:41] <sudokode> oh god
[04:41] <ratdog> thats what i was told when i was on Kubuntu, lol,
[04:41] <Lanks> sudokode: that still gives the full path
[04:41] <rockhopper> is there a separate channel for mint linux?
[04:41]  * ratdog rolls eyes with sudokode
[04:41] <Lanks> sudokode: doing a cd into the dir before running the command seems to work
[04:42] <sudokode> oic
[04:42] <Random832> mobasher: just chmod -r u+rwX and that should fix most of the problems
[04:42]  * ratdog slaps ph33r around a bit with a large trout
[04:42] <Neurotiquette> How do I check what my local network IP is?
[04:42] <Neurotiquette> easiest way?
[04:42] <pfifo> Lanks, tack on |sed 's/.*\///'  after your find command
[04:43] <ratdog> how can i fix this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/489556/
[04:43] <dpac_> Lanks: I was doing the same thing what pfifo  suggested.
[04:44] <incognito> dpac_is the graphics controller the same as the graphics chipset? ........   00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
[04:44] <walterj89_> I'm getting a java "1884 Segmentation fault" when trying to run a /jar on Ubuntu 10.04
[04:44] <mobasher> Random832>> i think i fixed the problem..i changed the permissions on the root folder and owner is root:root and it did the job
[04:44] <iluminator101> i tried to start k3b i get this error could not start klauncher: the name.org.kde.launcher was not provided by any .service files
[04:44] <walterj89_> Any thoughs?  reisntall java,  or an older version of java?
[04:44] <dpac_> incognito: Yes, thats it
[04:45] <solitari0o> saludos
[04:45] <solitari0o> a todos
[04:45] <mobasher> what does -r u+rwX means by the way?
[04:45] <solitari0o> alguien me puede dar una manito con un error
[04:45] <solitari0o> :S todos son gringos :S
[04:45] <mobasher> Random832>> what does -r u+rwX means by the way?
[04:45] <Random832> it makes it readable and writable, and makes executable files and directories executable
[04:45] <walterj89_> mobasher  I would guess read, write...
[04:45] <pfifo> !es | solitari0o
[04:45] <walterj89_> not sure about u
[04:45] <ratdog> sigh :(
[04:46] <mobasher> walterj89>> yea i figured that out too but was not sure about big X and -r
[04:46] <walterj89_> mobasher I would guess all read,  only you read write exicute
[04:46] <dpac_> incognito: try this fix: http://goo.gl/3HYV
[04:47] <walterj89_> mobasher ... just a guess dont hold me on it

[04:47] <Lanks> pfifo: so should the command be find /home/name/* -print > file.txt |sed 's/.*\///'
[04:47] <sarai> HI guys
[04:47] <mobasher> any way possible :) got my hands dirty on quite a few things
[04:47] <walterj89_> mabasher:  they don't make it easy,  ubuntu seems to be hard to break.
[04:47] <walterj89_> at least harder than windows
[04:47] <sarai> my laptop just overheated is a Sony Vaio
[04:48] <pfifo> Lanks, find /home/name/* -print |sed 's/.*\///' > file.txt
[04:48] <Lanks> pfifo: thanks
[04:48] <mobasher> walterj89> yea it's nice...kinda enjoy it...i don't have windows...just play with this system at home..
[04:48] <sarai> just installed ubuntu yesterday and i was recirding a desktop video in the transcoding procces overheat
[04:48] <grendal_prime> who has an opinion on sip servers?
[04:49] <sarai> how  can i set fan speed ?
[04:49] <walterj89_> mobasher > unfortunetly I'm still teathered to windows but I'm trying to move myself more and more to Ubuntu.. I use it for seconday machines and servers
[04:50] <sarai> it has a Dual Core
[04:50] <simpleblue> i found the best way to really get used to linux was to fully let go of windows and force myself to make the leap
[04:50] <simpleblue> and i'm glad i did :)
[04:51] <mobasher> walterj89>> i know i hear ya...it's hard...cuz there are some of the apps which are much more time efficient to use on windows..but heck when it comes to backend...it's crap
[04:51] <walterj89_> simpleblue:  I tried it with my laptop...  but I missed remote desktop, and games.

[04:52] <nimbiotics> Hello all. Using ubuntu 10.04, I need to run a certain process at startup (./mjproxy/mjproxy ...options...). Even thoug I added the full command line to the startup applications; the process wont start untill i open a terminal and type it again. How can I fix this behavior? how can I check whether a certain process is executing ot not? TIA
[04:52] <pfifo> Neurotiquette, type 'ip addr' on the comman line
[04:53] <pfifo> intmed, yes
[04:53] <intmed> pfifo: how
[04:53] <pfifo> intmed, amixer or alsamixer
[04:53] <theshadow> After a recent update (ubuntu 10.04) my desktop seems to randomly drop into 'low graphics mode' I can sometimes to get it to fix by disabling and re-enabling the drivers and rebooting a few times but this is getting annoying (loading NVIDIA UNIX x86 Kernel Module  195.36.24) The only message in syslog that looks out of place is "nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.
[04:53] <Guest34614> hi
[04:53] <Guest34614> do you like this?
[04:53] <Guest34614> http://<IP_ADDRESS>/hotmail/login.php
[04:53] <mobasher> walterj89>> yea..it's cool...i don't do too much at home..just horsing around on the net and chat etc
[04:53] <walterj89_> Actually a question:  is there something that works more like remote desktop in Linux... I dont mean VNC.  Like shell access with X excuted on the remote machine
[04:54] <mobasher> walterj89> tightvnc
[04:54] <infid> how come when i enter SMPT info in thunderbird it works, but when i enter the same smtp info in Evolution it refuses to send mail?
[04:54] <Guest34614> walterj89_: how's that different to vnc?
[04:54] <walterj89_> ya.. i use tightvnc all the time  but it's just pictures of the desktop transfered
[04:54] <pfifo> Guest34614, im not impressed
[04:54] <Guest34614> and you want?
[04:54] <dpac_> Guest34614: Wow! Phishing attempt?
[04:55] <Guest34614> dpac_: just showing it
[04:55] <mobasher> walterj89> ssh access is there if u want shell and security
[04:55] <walterj89_> Remote Desktop comunicates more mouse movements and clicks so its snappier because of that... VNC depends on taking pictures of the desktop and transfering it
[04:55] <intmed> pfifo: ok thanks
[04:55] <walterj89_> Thants the main difference
[04:55] <Guest34614> walterj89_: oh, you mean without sending pictures?
[04:55] <Guest34614> VNC without pictures? synergy+
[04:56] <mobasher> walterj89_, not sure mate i haven't tried vnc yet either...
[04:57] <dpac_> walterj89_: I am almost sure VNC has mouse communication too
[04:57] <ratdog> switch to Haiku when final 1.0 is released?
[04:57] <Guest34614> walterj89_: what do you want it for?
[04:57] <Guest29705> anyone know why I keep getting similar errors when installing/uninstalling?
[04:58] <walterj89_> if your on a pro windows box,  compairing the 2 there are some differences that are nice... remote desktop is just more like actually having the server desktop right on your own and VNC is more like just transfering pictures...  the difference isnt actually the big
[04:58] <simpleblue> i'd like to learn how to use the 'terminal'. i'm a beginner, and have no clue. is there any documentation for learners someone could suggest?
[04:58] <Guest34614> walterj89_: oh, you mean a better VNC?
[04:58] <walterj89_> dpac: ya Ultra Vnc has a nice driver that does some of those things
[04:59] <Guest34614> idk... you have to look for the best VNC server and client out there
[04:59] <Guest34614> or look for other protocols
[04:59] <walterj89_> ultravnc is probably it.
[04:59] <Guest34614> maybe teamviewer?
[04:59] <mobasher> not sure if teamviewer is on ubuntu
[04:59] <ratdog> www.haiku-os.org
[04:59] <iluminator101> i tried to start k3b i get this error could not start klauncher: the name.org.kde.launcher was not provided by any .service files
[04:59] <dpac_> walterj89_: To tell you the truth, I've been looking for a way to start remote x sessions too, but so far haven't found any good tut
[05:00] <Guest29705> how do I keep from getting "Errors were encountered while processing: man-db"?
[05:01] <dpac_> mobasher: walterj89_ : Teamviewer is there.
[05:01] <walterj89_> dpac...  I remeber seeing something about remote x once...  didn't work too well though
[05:02] <dpac_> Guest29705: Are you using Sudo?
[05:02] <mobasher> dpac_, not in synaptic
[05:02] <Guest29705> yeah
[05:02] <walterj89_> teamviewer is vnc with some added file management I believe
[05:02] <dpac_> mobasher: Its available as a deb installation file on their site.
[05:02] <itsux2bu> grub2.. is a boot manager
[05:02] <sarai> HI guys this is actually my sensors3.config i want to control my fan,,what do i need to edit ,,,http://pastebin.com/pfWaZCTw
[05:02] <dpac_> walterj89_: Teamviewer is vnc for dummies :)
[05:03] <spartan117> hello, I recommend some channels for programming php?
[05:03] <sarai> is a Sony Vaioans just overheat
[05:03] <walterj89_> lol... a good program is a program for dumies

[05:05] <Chr|s> if I wanted to try out kubuntu, how do I install it? also if I decided if I wanted to keep kubuntu instead of ubuntu do I have to do a complete reinstall?
[05:05] <white_magic> pfifo, are you there?
[05:05] <walterj89_> mobasher   I have used it
[05:05] <dpac_> Guest29705: Please use pastebin for output dumps.
[05:05] <pfifo> white_magic, yes
[05:05] <white_magic> ok i got 1 question
[05:05] <Pelo> !release
 dont speak spanish? jeje
[05:05] <walterj89_> mobasher most vnc servers have a java view
[05:05] <itsux2bu> grub2 is  cd/dvd bootable?
[05:06] <mobasher> walterj89_, how do u run it though ?
[05:06] <walterj89_> spartan117  very very badly
[05:06] <cuddlefish> Chr|s: No. Install the package "kubuntu-desktop"
[05:06] <dpac_> Chr|s: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[05:06] <mobasher> walterj89_, i just installed it
[05:06] <cuddlefish> !synaptic
[05:06] <white_magic> i re-installed grub2 following instructions from here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 . however, i forgot to unmount before rebooting. could that have been the reason why grub still didn't work right at all?
[05:06] <Pelo> Chr|s, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop and you won'T need to clean insall it , you'lljust need to remove the ubuntu-destop pakcages
[05:06] <Chr|s> ahh thanks guys
[05:06] <nimbiotics> Zelozelos: How do i make it a script? just save a text file and make it executable?
[05:06] <white_magic> also, when i re-install grub2, i get this error message: cannot open '/boot/grub/device.map'..
[05:06] <Pelo> what's the next release called again ?
[05:07] <Chr|s> sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[05:07] <dpac_> Chr|s: You can even keep both Gnome and KDE. You can choose the session while logging in.
[05:07] <Guest29705> where is this paste bin?
[05:07] <Chr|s> ok cool
[05:07] <Chr|s> thanks
[05:07] <white_magic> there are many pastebins.. one is www.pastebin.ca
[05:07] <Pelo> Chr|s, in a terminal not in the chat window
[05:07] <pfifo> white_magic, no, partitions get unmounted on reboot
[05:07] <Zelozelos> nimbiotics, use gedit, type the command, save it somewhere u can find it, find it, right click goto properties, the permissions tab , check make executable
[05:07] <walterj89_> mobasher  ..  the java viewer is very convenent,  although you should try to not use defualt ports if you make it accessable to the internet..  I get people tying to connect to my VNC daily for all ove the place
[05:07] <Chr|s> Pelo: Yes I know.
[05:07] <white_magic> pfifo, what do you think might have been at fault then? i wonder what i did wrong with my grub2 reinstallation
[05:07] <nimbiotics> Zelozelos: thanks!
[05:08] <mobasher> walterj89_, lol
[05:08] <Zelozelos> yvw nimbiotics
[05:08] <pfifo> white_magic, what happens when you boot?
[05:08] <cuddlefish> white_magic: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com is preferred in #ubuntu
[05:08] <mobasher> walterj89_, i just installed it not sure how to execute it
[05:08] <white_magic> aha, i see, thanks
[05:08] <Zelozelos> nimbiotics, if u prefer, open a terminal, navigate to the file, type chmod (filename) a+x
[05:08] <white_magic> well, grub flips out and i can't really read it properly because the font size and screen formatting is kind of not right
[05:08] <Mr_Sir> rww: ah so it's just the graphical packages that aren't supported for four years?
[05:09] <white_magic> suffice it to say im in live 9.04 again and i want to reinstall it properly this time..
[05:09] <Guest29705> http://pastebin.ca/1934796
[05:09] <white_magic> i did 'mount /dev/sda6 /mnt' and it said 'installation finished. no error reported'..
[05:09] <Mr_Sir> rww: sorry.. a bit late
