[16:17] <tech404> I'm having issues with my Home and End keys in X. I'm running openbox without gnome. From what I have googled it seems to be related to evdev and skrewy keycodes but looking in my Xorg.0.log file shows that evdev seems to be finding the correct keyboard. Does anyone know what my problem might be?
[16:17] <acicula> most of those involve fixing the hardware unfortunatly
[16:17] <acicula> Newa: did you try a different cable?
[16:17] <Newa> not yet, seeking if I have one now..
[16:18] <phil_in_london> tricks, but I've been making db connections with it since ver 1.0 so I'm like an old dog with it now.
[16:18] <acicula> and/or is this a new printer+cable or a used one that has been used before and now does not work/works on another machine?
[16:18] <kermit> erUSUL, phil_in_london: Evolution tried to import the pst file from outlook, but it put all the archived mail in the Tasks folder, and the client said he had more than the number of emails it mentioned.
[16:19] <van7hu_> hi folk,about "install program" in ubuntu what does 4th form (install [OPTION]... -d DIRECTORY...) mean ?,man page says:"create all components of the given DIRECTORY(ies).",could anyone explain this for me ? thank alot
[16:19] <Newa> used before on same machine, worked (ubuntu 10.04)
[16:19] <DynamicFail> Dr_Willis: The dd has completed, but in disk utility sda still shows as being 120gig free
[16:19] <phil_in_london> tricks, try gedit for your stuff, click View on its Menu, and select the last option on the list, Highlight Mode, then Sources, the rest will be obvious.
[16:19] <Newa> found another cable, testing..
[16:19] <phil_in_london> kermit, I know nothing about evolution except that I wasn't able to properly manage multiple email accounts with it so it was one of the first packages I removed from my installation.
[16:20] <kermit> phil_in_london: so you use thunderbird?
[16:20] <Tricks> phil_in_london, yeah but that won't compile it into it's closed source lameness tho
[16:20] <yaaar> um...ok now i'm really confused. in /etc/selinux/config there's a comment that says: "# SELINUXTYPE= can take one of these two values:" and then it lists 3 values...default, mls, and src. that's pretty minor...but then the variable is actually set to "ubuntu" which isn't one of those three things and doesn't come with a description. anybody know what the "ubuntu" setting does?
[16:20] <phil_in_london> tricks, oh, I thought you were looking for an editor, sorry about that.
[16:20] <jamil_1> hello, I have goldendict installed on the 10.10. I am behind a proxy and when I try to access wikipedia definition form the golden dict I get proxy authentication error. I have set the http_proxy variable but still...
[16:20] <Pici> jamil_1 : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Maverick/10.10 support/discussion.
[16:21] <Dr_Willis> DynamicFail:  reboot... it may be confused.
[16:21] <Dr_Willis> DynamicFail:  and hope the idnetical uuid;s dont mess things up
[16:21] <phil_in_london> kermit, yeah, I tried a few, but settled back on Thunderbird, works well, handles as many accounts as you can throw at it. I've got no complaints.
[16:21] <Tricks> phil_in_london, nah that's cool mate :) I'm really annoyed that a HNC Computing is a course aimed at how to teach you to click buttons within Microsoft products :( Bit disappointed
[16:22] <phil_in_london> kermit, I even used thunderbird on windows before finally dropping the windows partition and popping the cork on the champagne :)
[16:22] <acicula> Newa: any luck?
[16:22] <Newa> no help with change. I do see mentions of both ehci_hcd and uhci_hcd though
[16:23] <phil_in_london> tricks, yeah, problem is that most teaching facilities are funded (or partially funded) by ms, or some ms certification company.
[16:23] <Newa> other on usb 1-3, other on usb 3-1
[16:23] <acicula> hmm can you pastebin a bit of those logs?
[16:23] <Newa> sure
[16:23] <MrMagoo> Hello people. Having a bit of a crisis with a 10.04 install. Loaded it up this morning, and it's not booting. (It gets stuck after "checking battery state"). Recovery console can access shell, but not failsafe graphics mode. Tried reinstalling ubuntu-desktop in shell, failed. Any ideas how to recover from this...or where to start?
[16:23] <gpetrakis> why does rhythmbox is shown at the second desktop istead of the first while opening it
[16:24] <acicula> Newa is this a new printer+cable or a used one that has been used before and now does not work/works on another machine?
[16:24] <Tricks> phil_in_london, I KNEW IT!!! I was having this conversation with somebody the other day and I said I wonder how much money MS "donate" to the government to run these courses
[16:24] <Pici> !ot | Tricks phil_in_london
[16:24] <acicula> MrMagoo: did you activate a hardware driver for a graphics card or does the system only have intel
[16:25] <Newa> http://pastebin.com/S5pzT2sx
[16:25] <jpds> phil_in_london: Hey; shouldn't you be in #ubuntu-uk ? ;-)
[16:25] <phil_in_london> jpds, not that london
[16:25] <van7hu_> sorry,post again :_> hi folk,about "install program" in ubuntu what does 4th form (install [OPTION]... -d DIRECTORY...) mean ?,man page says:"create all components of the given DIRECTORY(ies).",could anyone explain this for me ? thank alot
[16:25] <Newa> used one that has been used before. exact model HP Laserjet P2015
[16:25] <sjefen6> Recomandations for a simple ftp server (software) that does not use ubuntus user settings?
[16:25] <acicula> New can you try this http://urukrama.wordpress.com/2009/01/27/usb-drive-not-recognised-error-71/
[16:26] <gpetrakis> why does rhythmbox is shown at the second desktop instead of the first while opening it?
[16:26] <MrMagoo> acicula: Onboard intel driver. Can't remember making any changes, but I did do an apt-get update of some packages without really looking at what was updated. It's *possible* this all came about because of a power cut during the update, but I can't be sure - was away from the PC. I'd be guessing the update was done before the powercut.
[16:26] <acicula> you should be able to rmmod usbcore | modprobe usbcore options use_both_scheme=y too if you know how to work with rmmod
[16:26] <acicula> MrMagoo: hmm you can check by dropping to a root shell and just running apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
[16:27] <Newa> says: ERROR: Module usbcore does not exist in /proc/modules
[16:27] <acicula> Newa: modprobe doesnt actually need the option parameter on the commandline, so just rmmod usbcore + any dependencies and then modprobe usbcore use_both_schemes=y
[16:28] <onaogh> I have dual boot Win7/Xubuntu, my current xubuntu is 9.10, if i upgrade to 10.04 through update manager, will everything work fine ?
[16:28] <acicula> Newa: right, going back to google
[16:28] <randomOfAmber> onaogh: probably
[16:29] <onaogh> randomOfAmber, i need more confident answer
[16:29] <MrMagoo> acicula: Cheers, thanks - will try. (Wireless failing, so I have to DC from IRC to switch ethernet cable between this & the problem machine...back in 5)
[16:29] <gpetrakis> why does rhythmbox is shown at the second desktop instead of the first while opening it?
[16:29] <yaaar> gee, this selinux policy is maybe a bit *too* secure...i turned enforcement on, and now when i ssh to the server i get the motd followed by "/bin/bash: Permission denied" and then it closes the connection
[16:29] <randomOfAmber> onaogh: I don't know.  depends on a few things I'd guess.  you can always back up your data and run a fresh install if it doesn't
[16:30] <randomOfAmber> onaogh: I would assume it would
[16:30] <acicula> yaaar: yeah selinux is not very out of the box userfriendly , but its not really meant to either
[16:31] <onaogh> when will be 10.10 out ?
[16:31] <randomOfAmber> onaogh: this sunday (10/10/10)
[16:31] <onaogh> wow
[16:31] <onaogh> 101010
[16:31] <onaogh> thats binary
[16:31] <Dr_Willis> IF things work right...
[16:31] <yaaar> acicula: that's a pretty poor excuse for a default policy that breaks ssh
[16:31] <Dr_Willis> :)
[16:31] <akaruz> Hello everyone :)
[16:32] <akaruz> i need intel graphic driver for linux where i can get this?
[16:32] <ruma> humm
[16:32] <erUSUL> akaruz: it comes with the system
[16:32] <Dr_Willis> !intel
[16:32] <histo> onaogh: nah need some more bytes
[16:32] <akaruz> erUSUL,  i didn't got anything.... (((  and when i'm trying to watch video from browser... in full screen  it stucks
[16:32] <akaruz> !intel
[16:33] <acicula> Newa: im seeing suggestions of either disabling CONFIG_USB_AUTOSUSPEND, this is a kernel option
[16:33] <erUSUL> akaruz: xserver-xorg-video-intel is the package and is preinstalled
[16:33] <acicula> Newa: or disabling acpi at boot.
[16:34] <Newa> acicula: tried with the same cable on a laptop, it recognizes the printer and is trying to install a winxp driver now..
[16:34] <van7hu> _> hi folk,about "install program" in ubuntu what does 4th form (install [OPTION]... -d DIRECTORY...) mean ?,man page says:"create all components of the given DIRECTORY(ies).",could anyone explain this for me ? thank alot
[16:34] <StevenSS> Why are some of .gz files color coded as red?
[16:34] <ActionParsnip> StevenSS: what is the output of: ls -l file
[16:34] <MrMagoo> acicula: Broken packages, but update failed: "Errors were encountered while processing /var/cache/apt/archives/gnome-applets_2.30.0-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) ...Any suggestions appreciated
[16:35] <StevenSS> they all root/root
[16:35]  * van7hu sorry for post again but my Internet has problem !
[16:35] <StevenSS> I'm guessing red = owned by root?
[16:35] <ActionParsnip> MrMagoo: does it mention a duplicated file at all?
[16:35] <ActionParsnip> StevenSS: the ls -l   output wil tell you
[16:36] <acicula> MrMagoo: what does it say at the bottom ti gives you a command to run i think
[16:36] <sipior> StevenSS: have a look at "man dir_colors" for a further explanation.
[16:36] <StevenSS> Thanks
[16:36] <acicula> MrMagoo: or just delete the file so it gets redownloaded
[16:36] <DynamicFail> Dr_Willis: now could I use dd to duplicate a smaller drive to a larger partition in a drive?
[16:36] <Manchala> hi
[16:36] <MrMagoo> acicula: No command that I can see. Last line is the "E: Sub-process..." one
[16:36] <ActionParsnip> DynamicFail: could use partimage too :)
[16:36] <akaruz> erUSUL, but i have install it already.... but same problem....
[16:37] <ActionParsnip> MrMagoo: try force installing the deb then run: sudo apt-get -f install
[16:37] <erUSUL> akaruz: you may try the x-updates ppa it has newer drivers
[16:37] <erUSUL> !ppa > akaruz
[16:37] <MrMagoo> ActionParsnip: Cheers for the help. Not that I can see - there's a lot of jabber (& I can't figure out how to scroll up in shell(?), but no sign of duplication that I can see)
[16:37] <Manchala> ?
[16:37] <MrMagoo> ActionParsnip: k, will do
[16:37] <Manchala> any body thereeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
[16:38] <onaogh> yes manchala
[16:38] <Manchala> hi onaogh :D
[16:38] <van7hu> hi Manchala,what is your matter
[16:38] <Manchala> i am new on linux :D
[16:38] <akaruz> erUSUL, what should i do there ?
[16:38] <onaogh> hi Manchala
[16:38] <Manchala> backtrack :D
[16:38] <Newa> acicula: do I add the acpi and autosuspend options to /boot/grub/grub.conf somehow?
[16:38] <acicula> Newa:  can you try the following commands echo -1| sudo tee >/sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend and echo Y | sudo tee /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/old_scheme_first
[16:38] <acicula> and plug the thing back in
[16:38] <Newa> sure, sec
[16:38] <onaogh> go to backtrack channel
[16:38] <Newa> so first unplug it?
[16:38] <acicula> yup
[16:39] <erUSUL> akaruz: read the page ubottu told you
[16:39] <acicula> MrMagoo: if you remove the deb it complains about will it continue?
[16:40] <Diverdude> Is there a way to convert a folder full of png files  to jpeg  rapidly?
[16:40] <kermit> phil_in_london: heh Evolution tries to load all your email into ram to import it, that doesnt work
[16:40] <acicula> yes, its called convert (command line)
[16:41] <acicula> tis part of the imagmagic toolkit, jsut type in convert and you'll get a list of what you need
[16:41] <acicula> to install
[16:41] <Pici> !who
[16:41] <Dice-Man> !who ubottu
[16:42] <randomOfAmber> lol, get the bot in some infinite recursion?
[16:42] <randomOfAmber> !hi > ubottu
[16:42] <shayaknyc> Hi, does anyone know if it's possible to set up ubuntu to automatically connect to a wifi signal prior to logging in to an account?
[16:42] <Newa> acicula: did those, same error -71 remains
[16:43] <phil_in_london> kermit :)  I knew something was funky about that app
[16:43] <acicula> Newa: got a usb keyboard you can put on the same hub as the printer usb port?
[16:44] <Newa> I think I do, let me check..
[16:44] <erUSUL> Diverdude: use imagemagick ?
[16:45] <acicula> Newa: its a case of either the wrong speed or not enough power going to the port, so using the same poewred hub or forcing low speed by attaching low speed devices may help.
[16:45] <ColinT> k
[16:46] <erUSUL> Diverdude: cd directory ; for f in *.png; do convert "$f" "${f%.png}".jpeg; done
[16:46] <erUSUL> Diverdude: check manpage for more options if you need them
[16:46] <korisnik> to make a very long story short, i managed to delete my swap partition. i created it back with gparted but when i run "free" i get this result: Swap:            0          0          0. i guess that means ubuntu doesnt use it. how can i start reusing it again, i have only 512 of ram
[16:46] <Diverdude> erUSUL, bashscript?
[16:46] <erUSUL> Diverdude: bash command line
[16:47] <Newa> there are errors coming up every second or so now. Example: Oct  7 18:46:45 knightperl kernel: [ 2724.728027] usb 3-2: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 13
[16:47] <Newa> Oct  7 18:46:46 knightperl kernel: [ 2725.140030] usb 3-2: device not accepting address 13, error -71
[16:47] <MrMagoo> acicula ActionParsnip: sadly no joy - same sub process dpkg error. I tried running dpkg --configure -a & it came back with 'dependency problems - leaving unconfigured' ...plus a list of 13 packages in "Errors were encountered while processing"...mostly display-related (nautilus, ubuntu-desktop, empathy, gnome-panel, indicator-applet-session, desktop-file-utils)
[16:48] <Newa> I updated the bios too in case it would help, and shut down the computer for 3 minutes. BIOS is configured for hi-speed usb and legacy support
[16:48] <JackNocturne> help with http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9933049 if anyone knows what to do
[16:48] <Newa> and the motherboard is an intel D865PERL
[16:48] <acicula> Newa: is the hp printer power brick plugged in?
[16:49] <Newa> yes, and the online-indicator led is green
[16:49] <Gangrel> can someone help me make microsoft lifecam vx-1000 microphone work?
[16:49] <acicula> Newa: cat /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend
[16:49] <Newa> I've removed other usb devices from the system too. now there are just the external usb keyboard and the printer
[16:49] <acicula> Newa:  does that say -1, just checkking settings here.
[16:49] <Newa> neva@knightperl:/var/log$ cat /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend
[16:49] <onaogh> Gangrel, just plug it in, isnt it working ?
[16:49] <Newa> -1
[16:50] <Gangrel> onaogh, nope
[16:50] <Diverdude> erUSUL, i get a permission denied
[16:50] <Diverdude> erUSUL, can i do sudo cd directory ; for f in *.png; do convert "$f" "${f%.png}".jpeg; done  ?
[16:50] <acicula> Newa: can you disable legacy usb support in the bios?
[16:50] <erUSUL> Diverdude: do you have writte permissions on the directory ?
[16:50] <Diverdude> erUSUL,  no i dont. its in /var/www
[16:51] <erUSUL> Diverdude: where is this dir located?
[16:51] <Newa> yes, will take a boot but I'll return to report after it's done
[16:51] <Newa> off to try -->
[16:51] <shayaknyc> Hi, does anyone know if it's possible to set up ubuntu to automatically connect to a wifi signal prior to logging in to an account?
[16:51] <acicula> Newa: oki
[16:51] <erUSUL> Diverdude: you can not do « sudo cd » cd is not a command. nor is for
[16:51] <erUSUL> Diverdude: do « sudo -i » and use that shell
[16:52] <acicula> MrMagoo: if you scroll to the list can you identify which package it is not installing that starts the chain of errors
[16:52] <erUSUL> shayaknyc: use /etc/network/interfaces ?
[16:52] <shayaknyc> erUSUL: thanks, i'll look into configuring that!
[16:52] <Diverdude> erUSUL, mm ok, so what is the final command?
[16:52] <acicula> MrMagoo: were you just updating or upgrading to a new ubuntu release, i forgot
[16:53] <erUSUL> shayaknyc: http://wiki.debian.org/WiFi/HowToUse#wpasupplicant
[16:53] <MrMagoo> acicula: Sure - but...embarrassing question --> how do you scroll up in shell? ;-p
[16:53] <MrMagoo> acicula: just updating
[16:53] <ActionParsnip> MrMagoo: pgup
[16:53] <erUSUL> Diverdude: do « sudo -i » and then in that shell « cd directory ; for f in *.png; do convert "$f" "${f%.png}".jpeg; done »
[16:53] <acicula> MrMagoo: page up or shiftpageup
[16:54] <MrMagoo> acicula: Hmmm - strange, it's not scrolling.
[16:54] <acicula> MrMagoo: it clears if you switch terminals perhaps
[16:55] <Diverdude> erUSUL, ahaaa, so i make a sudo shell actually here i have full permissions
[16:56] <MrMagoo> acicula: Tried switching consoles (ctrl+shift+f3), came back, still no joy
[16:56] <erUSUL> Diverdude: after it finish simply run "exit"
[16:57] <craigbass1976> Up in the right corner of my screen, there's my name with a chat bubble next to it.  I guess it's the Indicator applet.  I've set it up to work with my yahoo, but how do I see a friends list and start a chat with one of them?
[16:58] <acicula> MrMagoo: no i meant switching consoles clears the buffer of that terminal so you cant scroll back up
[16:58] <magicianlord> broadcom has gpl'ed its wifi drivers
[16:58] <magicianlord> finally, no more compiling with each kernel upgrade
[16:58] <acicula> firmware too?
[16:58] <magicianlord> dont know
[16:58] <magicianlord> just as long i dont have to keep losing my wifi connection bec of an upgrade
[16:59] <erUSUL> acicula: yes; but it is a brand new driver for the new cards. old cards are still left in the cold. no firmware for b43 driver :(
[16:59] <MrMagoo> acicula: Didn't switch before trying. Num-lock + pgDown brings up numbers, so the keys are definitely being recognised.
[17:00] <MrMagoo> acicula: (And I'm certain pgUp/Down works from within gnome-terminal)
[17:00] <acicula> what about shift pageup
[17:01] <MrMagoo> acicula: Nope, tried that too
[17:01] <acicula> id test it but my lcd doesnt work in text mode anymore
[17:01] <magicianlord> it's as of kernel 2.6.37.
[17:01] <Newa> acicula: disabled legacy support from bios. after booting, plugged printer in. same complains about device descriptor read/64, error -71 and not accepting address
[17:01] <acicula> err you could try restarting the process and hitting ctrl-z at the first sight of errors perhaps
[17:02] <Gangrel> how can i set webcams microphone as the main microphone?
[17:02] <acicula> Newa: hmm well then im pretty much out of ideas to try
[17:03] <acicula> Newa: could retest disabling usb_suspend and that other option i suppose
[17:03] <Newa> ok. thank you so much for trying to help this extensively
[17:03] <Smilodonis> Gangrel: Sound preferenves and Input tab
[17:03] <acicula> Newa: kinda weird that it refuses to work, dont see other references to this error bar the stuff that we've tried so afr
[17:04] <Newa> there was one suggestion to leave the computer unpowered for half an hour (and play guitar)
[17:04] <MrMagoo> acicula: OK, sent the output to a text file & opened it. Output is setting up empathy common, then "Setting up desktop-file-utils (0.16-0ubuntu2)"...end of output. Perhaps means desktop-file-utils is the problem?
[17:04] <Newa> and I saw a mention of some usb hubs acting up after being powered on for a long time
[17:05] <Newa> there are no hubs that I know of, except ones integrated on the motherboard itself
[17:05] <ActionParsnip> Newa: could try a bios update (risky)
[17:05] <Newa> I guess that would be a step to try next. The comp is otherwise on 24/7
[17:05] <Newa> ActionParsnip: did that already. using newest bios available :)
[17:05] <ActionParsnip> good
[17:06] <Newa> P21 to be precise
[17:07] <tumbleweed_> can anyone who has used grandr tell me how I make the changes permanent between reboots?
[17:07] <ActionParsnip> tumbleweed_: there's a command to write the current X config to xorg.conf
[17:08] <StevenSS> Can someone please help me on how to create a partition with Parted?
[17:08] <ActionParsnip> tumbleweed_: or if you can get to grips with xrandr you can have a command run at login
[17:08] <itai_michaelson> StevenSS, parted or Gparted ?
[17:09] <StevenSS> I guess parted.  I want to learn to do it from CLI
[17:09] <Newa> acicula: how do I enable the config_usb_debug option? http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/10/24/209
[17:09] <ActionParsnip> StevenSS: if yuo don't like parted you can always use fdisk too :)
[17:09] <StevenSS> What is best?
[17:09] <ActionParsnip> StevenSS: neither, they both accel in different ways
[17:10] <StevenSS> I'll use parted for now.  try fdisk another time
[17:10] <ActionParsnip> StevenSS: if one was best the other wouldn't be included
[17:11] <BlaDe^> im trying to install php-fpm from dotdeb.org but it's giving errors like:  Depends: libicu38 (>= 3.8-5) but it is not installable
[17:11] <BlaDe^> why is this ?
[17:11] <StevenSS> What is the difference between Parted and Gparted?
[17:11] <itai_michaelson> gparted has a GUI
[17:12] <ActionParsnip> StevenSS: gparted uses a gnome gui
[17:12] <Chaos2358> can someone help me with audio conversion? i've tried every so called converter i can find as well as the websites that claim to do it and i can not get .mpr converted to .aiff
[17:12] <ActionParsnip> StevenSS: parted is the cli version, gparted is just a gui interface to parted
[17:13] <StevenSS> Ah
[17:13] <quidnunc> How do I apt-pin the partner repository?
[17:13] <ActionParsnip> quidnunc: afaik, you just pin a package to make it not update
[17:14] <itai_michaelson> Chaos2358, you want to convert what formats?
[17:14] <luisbuntu> hola algun español
[17:14] <Chaos2358> itai_michaelson i want to convert .mp3 audio clips to .aiff format
[17:14] <quidnunc> ActionParsnip: Yes, what is the syntax? I have "Pin: release a=partner" but it is not working
[17:15] <itai_michaelson> Chaos2358, is this any help : turanct.wordpress.com/.../convert-aiff-to-mp3-with-ffmpeg-on-ubuntu
[17:15] <ActionParsnip> quidnunc: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto
[17:15] <Chaos2358> itai_michaelson no ffmpeg doesnt actually convert to .aiff
[17:16] <Chaos2358> itai_michaelson neither does winff
[17:17] <Targeter> try the sox command to convert them
[17:17] <Chaos2358> i'm not familiar with sox can you elaborate?
[17:17] <quidnunc> ActionParsnip: Thanks but that page doesn't answer my question. I want to pin an entire "main/universe/whatever"
[17:18] <MrMagoo> Same problem, new error from sudo apt-get -f install: "gconftool-2 symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0 undefined symbol g_regex_unref" ...any ideas?
[17:18] <Chaos2358> targeter i'm not familiar with sox could you elaborate on what commands to use?
[17:19] <opitzs> hi all
[17:20] <Targeter> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=707845
[17:20] <opitzs> is there no nvidia-glx-195 package?
[17:20] <Targeter> im not that familiar either ;) sorry!
[17:20] <kwtm> HELP! Need urgent help on connecting to net via Kubuntu 10.04. Tried connecting via ethernet cable, but won't auto-connect.  Tried "sudo dhclient" which then works for 5 minutes then autodisconnects. (Am currently logged on via wife's Windows laptop)
[17:20] <itai_michaelson> Chaos2358, for sox : http://sox.sourceforge.net/sox.html
[17:20] <Targeter> i just have noticed several posts on people asking about that while searching the web
[17:21] <opitzs> my nvidia needs to load nvidia glx, but I can find only the xorg glx module
[17:23] <opitzs> is someone here who can help me with a nvidia problem?

[17:23] <quidnunc> I tried "Pin: release c=partner" but it is not working either
[17:24] <progre55> how do you disable RendR so that aticonfig does the work? (lucid 64bit, ati radeon 4500)
[17:24] <Fusky> which is better wine or playonlinux
[17:24] <quidnunc> ActionParsnip: I tried "Pin: release c=partner" but it is not working either
[17:24] <progre55> xrandr*
[17:24] <AbhiJit> Fusky, playonlinux is frontend for wine
[17:24] <Fusky> oh did not know that

[17:26] <nizar> hey guys, does anyone know of touchscreen tools for ubuntu 10.04?
[17:26] <bharat_> its very annoying and am not able to fix the issue
[17:26] <nimbiotics> Can some please point me to a guide to help me to set up my laptop to use 2 audio devices at once with ubuntu 10.04? TIA!
[17:26] <nizar> the pointer when i use my touchscreen is waaay off
[17:26] <nizar> any suggestions?
[17:26] <quidnunc> ActionParsnip: I figured it out. apt-preferences works on first match in /etc/apt/preferences and I had another rule that matched before it
[17:26] <Snyfer> SAlut
[17:26] <kwtm> Was that "!help" for me?  I guess I should ask a specific question: what CLI commands should I try to help diagnose the problem?  "ifconfig" shows the usual result of being connected to ethernet, even though the ethernet connection is useless.  "ping www.google.com" works immediately after "sudo dhclient" but fails after a few minutes.
[17:27] <asdssdd> how to install russian encoding at latex ?
[17:27] <itai_michaelson> bharat_, are you looking for help uninstalling sugar?
[17:27] <snarkster> hi guys, im trying to connect my HP Pavilion dv7 laptop with ATI Radeon to my Phillips lcd via HDMI but i get nothing.
[17:27] <Snyfer> Est-ce qu'il y a des Français? =)
[17:27] <kwtm> plouffe: Interesting idea. Will try. But what information will that give me?  I already know the hardware works since I can connect for a few minutes, then it cuts me off.
[17:27] <bharat_> i have uninstalled it but its not getting rid of the situation
[17:28] <plouffe> kwtm, well if it's a problem with your installation, then using the live cd you might be able to connect, which your primary concern, if I understood correctly
[17:29] <kwtm> plouffe: Hmm... I've been using this 10.04 for quite a while with no problems, but this problem just started yesterday (I didn't do anything unusual other than the usual sudo apt-get upgrade).  I wonder if it's a NetworkManager config corruption.
[17:29] <nizar> any suggestion about ubuntu touchscreen?
[17:29] <kwtm> plouffe: So it's not the actual installation itself, but something that has corrupted the installation.
[17:29] <snarkster> any help with hdmi out for watching movies?
[17:29] <asdssdd> sudo apt-get install texlive-lang-cyrillic
[17:29] <itai_michaelson> bharat_, what environment are you using now? gnome?
[17:30] <bharat_> yes
[17:30] <kwtm> plouffe: If I use a live CD, I won't be able to access my data, so it would be the same as using a differeent computer (like the one I'm usingnow)...
[17:30] <opitzs> kwtm: you might mount the drives
[17:30] <plouffe> kwtm, unless you use encrypted home directory , you should be able to access the data
[17:30] <sanguisdex> any one have any experience with firepass?
[17:31] <sanguisdex> I can't get an ssh tunnel esablished
[17:31] <tacomaster> 23 of this month is when maverick moves out of beta right?
[17:31] <plouffe> kwtm, it's a workaround not a fix, I don't know enough to help you with that I'm afraid
[17:31] <kwtm> opitzs: It's not the actual direct access to data, but the way it's set up.  I'd have to install a ton of programs to be able to use the computer properly (e.g. truecrypt) which are really not feasible on a live CD.  I'm pretty sure it's not the hardware, which is why I was asking what the potential benefit is of using the live CD.  For diagnostic purposes, doubtful; for long-0term use,...
[17:31] <itai_michaelson> bharat_, how did you unistall?
[17:31] <kwtm> ...impractical.
[17:32] <bharat_> ubuntu software center
[17:32] <opitzs> kwtm: do you have a proper connection with the live disk?
[17:32] <bharat_> thats the same place i installed sugar
[17:32] <kwtm> plouffe: Okay.  Experience with NetworkManager?  It seems to be the culprit but I can't tell.
[17:32] <Braber01> I'm looking for help with latex and nobody seems to be answering me :(
[17:32] <opitzs> kwtm: it might be a problem outside of your computer...
[17:33] <kwtm> opitzs: I presume that I do, since it has worked before (and this is just ethernet, not wifi). Did you mean "does it still work after I install all the updates on the liveCD"?
[17:33] <glebihan> Braber01: did you try on #latex ?
[17:33] <kwtm> opitzs: I thought of a problem outside the computer, too, but I seem to be connecting fine with my wife's Windows laptop.
[17:33] <itai_michaelson> bharat_, run this : sudo rm -rf ~/.sugar
[17:33] <opitzs> kwtm: check if the livecd has a proper connection
[17:33] <Braber01> glebihan: yes I did
[17:34] <opitzs> kwtm: to what do you connect? wlan router
[17:34] <kwtm> opitzs: The Win laptop is connected to the same router.  Also, I see an error in that when I click on KNetworkManager, it says "not managed" (as opposed to, say, "no connection")
[17:34] <Chaos2358> itai_michaelson are you familiar with sox? its giving me an error that there is no such file or directory as what i put in for input but i know there is
[17:34] <kwtm> opitzs: I connected to DD-WRT router (Linksys 54GL)
[17:34] <erlof> msg nomebot xdcc send #numero
[17:34] <bharat_> done but still not responding
[17:35] <itai_michaelson> Chaos2358, used it before but not an expert, did you read the link i sent you?
[17:35] <itai_michaelson> bharat_, you might need to log off and log in
[17:35] <bharat_> tried rebooting 4 times
[17:35] <opitzs> kwtm: wpa2 personal?
[17:35] <bharat_> still didnt work. is there a way of restoring back?
[17:36] <kwtm> opitzs: Is there anything I can do to see if there is anything the matter with the software on my Ubuntu machine?  Remember: I can connect for 5 minutes, surf web properly, do everything, and then something cuts me off automatically.
[17:36] <Chaos2358> itai_michaelson yes but alot of it was really hard to understand. i got the command neccesary to convert
[17:36] <itai_michaelson> Chaos2358, were is the file you want to convert?
[17:36] <opitzs> kwtm: one minute please
[17:36] <kwtm> opitzs: You seem to be referring to a wireless connection protocol.  I could try wifi, but as I said before, this is an ethernet connection. (Wifi has other problems that I'll deal with later.)
[17:36] <snarkster> ubottu knows nothing of hdmi.. but in the forums there is hdmi listed.. how can that be, thought ubottu updated via the forums
[17:36] <nimbiotics> Can some please point me to a guide to help me to set up my laptop to use 2 audio devices at once with ubuntu 10.04? TIA!
[17:37] <Chaos2358> itai_michaelson tried with it in downloads and desktop
[17:37] <itai_michaelson> Chaos2358, are you familliar with the terminal ?
[17:37] <opitzs> kwtm: can you ping the router, when the connection is gone?
[17:37] <bharat_> i have to hold down ctrl+shift
[17:37] <acicula> nimbiotics: there is an applet for pulseaudio that should let you do that
[17:37] <kwtm> opitzs: GOod question.  WIll try.
[17:38] <Chaos2358> itai_michaelson somewhat only being using ubuntu for about a week and a half before that only windows so not an expert
[17:38] <itai_michaelson> bharat_, my guess is that sugar was not completely uninstalled
[17:38] <acicula> its callled padevchooser
[17:38] <itai_michaelson> Chaos2358, ok, when you input a command in the terminal it assums that you are in /home
[17:38] <bharat_> i have individually removed all packages realted to sugar. have installed it again and trying
[17:38] <kwtm> opitzs: APpears to be able to reach router; will try again in 5 minutes when unable to ping google.com
[17:38] <itai_michaelson> Chaos2358, either move the file to /home
[17:39] <nimbiotics> acicula: thanks
[17:39] <Chaos2358> itai_michaelson home would be the folder with mu name on it correct?
[17:39] <itai_michaelson> bharat_,  do this : sudo apt-get remove sugar sugar-activities
[17:40] <itai_michaelson> Chaos2358, with your name probably
[17:40] <xpro> RUSSIA?)
[17:40] <xpro> NO?
[17:40] <Chaos2358> itai_michaelson ok thank you alot
[17:40] <itai_michaelson> Chaos2358, :-)
[17:41] <bharat_>  Couldn't find package sugar-activities
[17:41] <Chaos2358> itai_michaelson ok now it says no handler or file extension .mpr
[17:41] <dhsfuds> {YunxBOT}v17
[17:41] <itai_michaelson> Chaos2358, can you play mp3 on your ubuntu?
[17:41] <Chaos2358> yep
[17:41] <Chaos2358> all my stuff is in mp3
[17:42] <opitzs> could someone help me with an nvidia-problem?
[17:42] <Chaos2358> itai_michaelson yes all of my music and audio is in mp3
[17:42] <xpro_> canal Ubuntu Ru
[17:42] <xpro_> please
[17:42] <erUSUL> !ru | xpro_
[17:43] <itai_michaelson> Chaos2358, then i'm not sure, you might need some extention for sox. either read thru the manual (badly written, i know) or look for another program, can't help more ,sorry
[17:43] <scriptwarlock> opitzs, whats wrong with your nvidia?
[17:43] <Chaos2358> itai_michaelson  ok thanks
[17:43] <oremj> hey, in 10.10 where did xorg.conf go?
[17:43] <opitzs> scriptwarlock: it can't load nvidia glx
[17:43] <snarkster> they dont use xorg.conf anymore
[17:43] <scriptwarlock> opitzs, need some little infos
[17:43] <opitzs> scriptwarlock: I can't find a pakage nvidia-glx-195
[17:43] <oremj> snarkster: do you know where docs are on how to make changes now?
[17:44] <opitzs> scriptwarlock: shoot
[17:44] <snarkster> make changes to what, your xorg.conf?
[17:44] <oremj> yeah
[17:44] <itai_michaelson> bharat_, it seems like sugar was not removed properly , try installing it again and removing it, but use the command line so you can spot any errors
[17:44] <opitzs> scriptwarlock: I mean what infos do you need
[17:44] <padhu> snarkster:  then?
[17:45] <scriptwarlock> opitzs, machine, os, chipset
[17:45] <jlk> 21
[17:45] <padhu> where is the configuration now?
[17:45] <snarkster> easy to do, just shutdown your DM (ie gdm, kdm,xdm which ever your using) goto cli mode type sudo X -configure that will produce you a complete xorg.conf file
[17:45] <opitzs> scriptwarlock: ubuntu lucid, 32 bit, nvidia 9800 gt
[17:45] <spartan117> !version
[17:46] <spartan117> @info
[17:46] <spartan117> !info
[17:46] <oremj> snarkster: ah, so it just isn't there by default, but is still supported?
[17:46] <snarkster> its used for options only.. doesnt really use it anymore
[17:46] <acicula> oremj: by default X configures automatically, but you can still force the use of an xorg.conf by creating one
[17:46] <oremj> acicula: snarkster: thanks for the help
[17:47] <snarkster> your welcome
[17:47] <opitzs> scriptwarlock: it can't load nvidia glx, because it is not installed. However I can't find a pckage to install it.

[17:56] <nickhtp> bot
[17:57] <erUSUL> Mathuin: if you use interfaces you can use a pre-up line with that command
[17:57] <Quantum_Ion> Mathuin, you need a text editor like nano or gedit to edit your /etc/network/interfaces file
[17:58] <Mathuin> I've got the file open in an editor, and eth0 is mentioned in two lines -- 'auto eth0' and '#iface eth0 inet dhcp'.
[17:58] <Mathuin> Do I need 'iface eth0 pre-up ifconfig eth0 mtu 9000' ?

[18:01] <Chaos2358> itai_michaelson are you still in here?
[18:02] <acicula> snarkster: default drivers or did you activate the hardware drivers
[18:02] <quidnunc> sc30317: Are you interested in simply caching?
[18:02] <sc30317> quidnunc, yea I think so
[18:02] <sc30317> but if I could have it update as well that would be cool
[18:02] <snarkster> 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS780M/RS780MN [Radeon HD 3200 Graphics]

[18:02] <sresu> Will Ubuntu/Kubuntu perform on AMD AthlonTM  II Neo single core processors? How will it perform?
[18:03] <erUSUL> Mathuin: ok; then use a script in /etc/network/if-up.d/ ?
[18:03] <sresu> *work on
[18:03] <Quantum_Ion> sometimes it takes to damn long to compile a tar.gz package and sometimes there are always dependency issues so I guess its best to use apt-get install
[18:03] <quidnunc> sc30317: That is, when one computer on your network requests a package it is downloaded from the internet but subsequent requests from the same package are fetched from the cache
[18:03] <erUSUL> sc30317: #debian ?
[18:03] <sc30317> quidnunc, yes
[18:03] <sc30317> erUSUL, they didn't answer my question (yet)
[18:03] <gdb> s/apt-get/aptitude/g
[18:03] <quidnunc> sc30317: I have used approx in the past nad have been reasonably happy with it
[18:03] <acicula> snarkster: i see your display is visible in xrandr, but in the Display wizard you only see your lcd screen still?
[18:03] <Quantum_Ion> erUSUL, Debian and Ubuntu are pretty compatiable

[18:04] <sc30317> quidnunc, this seems to give me a bunch of options:  I want to setup my own debian x86 repository locally.  There seems to be bunch of different documentation on how to do this.  Has anyone done this recently, and have any advice?
[18:04] <sc30317> quidnunc, this seems to give me options: http://wiki.debian.org/HowToSetupADebianRepository
[18:04] <Mathuin> erUSUL: so there's no standard way to do this. :-)
[18:04] <quidnunc> sc30317: My suggestion for your use case was to use approx.
[18:04] <erUSUL> Mathuin: no; NM has its own scripts too
[18:05] <sc30317> quidnunc, you know where this any documentation on that?
[18:05] <snarkster> no in xrandr cli i see both monitors in the wizard in gnome i see just the laptop, in krandr i see both but the laptop is ontop of the hdmi
[18:05] <Mathuin> erUSUL: okay, so NM keeps its scripts in the /etc/network/if-up.d/ directory?
[18:05] <sc30317> quidnunc, I see this page http://packages.debian.org/unstable/admin/approx
[18:05] <quidnunc> sc30317: maybe http://www.debianadmin.com/upgrade-multiple-debian-systems-with-approx.html
[18:05] <sc30317> but I am not sure what I need to do about it
[18:05] <erUSUL> Mathuin: for NM check this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo#Configuration%20on%20Startup%20for%20NetworkManager
[18:06] <quidnunc> sc30317: Do you have any experience administering a debian system?
[18:06] <acicula> snarkster: what if you enable the device via xrandr
[18:06] <sc30317> quidnunc, a little bit; obviously not enough :\
[18:06] <zagabar> How come that some channels on freenode are invite only? Like #java? :S How can I get invited?
[18:06] <snarkster> i dont know how to enable a device via xrandr
[18:06] <quidnunc> sc30317: Look at the link a posted before and this one http://wiki.flexion.org/ApproxServer.html
[18:06] <acicula> zagabar: register with frenode and you can probably join
[18:07] <quidnunc> sc30317: Hopefully they are enough
[18:07] <zanberdo> I'm running ubunut 10.04 with an MGA G200 video card. I can only get 800x600 resolution. I've created an xorg.conf file and have even modified it to include Modes 1024x768 for each display but still I only get 800x600. How can I push my display to 1024x768?
[18:07] <nebula_> How to install it could you tell me ". / setup.py clean install [- prefix =...] "
[18:07] <Mathuin> erUSUL: looking...
[18:08] <acicula> snarkster: err i think this should be it xrandr --output HDMI-0 --mode <same resolution as your lvds screen> --enable -rightoff LVDS
[18:08] <tacomaster> ok i just installed broadcom-sta driver and all of a sudden i get a listing of my card in network manager but when i do a sudo iwlist scan it says that it doesnt support scanning?
[18:09] <acicula> snarkster: that should be right-of
[18:09] <erUSUL> Mathuin: i will just do « echo 'sudo ifconfig $IFACE mtu 9000' | sudo tee > /etc/network/if-up.d/mtu  » then « sudo chmod +x /etc/network/if-up.d/mtu »
[18:10] <Mathuin> erUSUL: that looks reasonable enough.  Out of curiosity, what happens to a wifi interface that sees that command?  It'll just fail, right?
[18:10] <snarkster> not work
[18:10] <erUSUL> Mathuin: i guess
[18:10] <acicula> snarkster: does the screen flicker at all?
[18:10] <erUSUL> Mathuin: you can check the iface name and only run the command on eth* interfaces
[18:11] <Mathuin> erUSUL: this will be running as root, do I need sudo?
[18:11] <erUSUL> Mathuin: if [[ "$IFACE" == eth* ]]; then ifconfig ....; fi
[18:11] <snarkster> nope
[18:11] <padhu> Guys, I tried to install SQlite Manager Firefox plug-in, But it told that SQlite Manager could not be installed becauseit is not compactable to Firefox 3.6.2
[18:12] <erUSUL> Mathuin: if you use bash ...
[18:12] <padhu> I have an xpi file. How can i install it seperately?
[18:12] <Pentium3> Hello.
[18:12] <snarkster> it just keeps giving me the help screen
[18:14] <thiebaude> i have a question, in the morning when i start the computer the hard drive makes a loud noise for a min or so then stops ,wonder anyone have a solution to this problem, thanks
[18:14] <acicula> snarkster: i cant really find much else to try, but i've never had issues with hdmi much myself. Does the flgrx give the same result?
[18:14] <thiebaude> spinning noise i beleive
[18:14] <tacomaster> can someone help me with my wireless would be awsome :P i installed broadcom-sta driver today and like normal my wireless card shows in my network manager as a wireless card but it doesnt show any wifi networks so i went to terminal and typed sudo iwlist scan and that wireless card said that "Failed to read scan data: Invalid argument"
[18:14] <snarkster> interesting
[18:15] <snarkster> if i put xrandr --output HDMI-0 --right-of lvds the laptop screen flickers, but nothing on the tv
[18:16] <pksadiq> thiebaude: If it is like tech ..tech.. in regular intervals, I beleive it is hardly damaged, which cannot be repaired :(
[18:17] <thiebaude> no, just one long noise,lol
[18:17] <thiebaude> pksadiq,
[18:17] <thiebaude> then it stops
[18:17] <Mathuin> erUSUL: I think I have to tinker with the script, but in general it looks great.
[18:17] <Mathuin> Thank you so much!
[18:17] <erUSUL> Mathuin: no problem
[18:17] <Mathuin> erUSUL: knowing the right place is more than half the battle. :-)
[18:17] <sresu> Will Ubuntu/Kubuntu work on AMD AthlonTM II Neo single core processors? How will it perform?
[18:18] <ThinWhiteDuke> some of my ubuntu apps can't listen  on ports
[18:18] <thiebaude> i have amd dual core opteron sresu
[18:18] <rusivi> padhu: As per  SQlite Manager plug-in website, must have at least 3.6.4 -> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5817/
[18:18] <Thomas_Nie> Hi folks, can someone help me please? I am here in a datacentre at a server and need some WWW-Research (have no GUI here, so cannot browse)
[18:18] <wmarone> anyone booted the Ubuntu live cd on EFI in VirtualBox?
[18:18] <ThinWhiteDuke> vuze can but ktorrent cant
[18:18] <seniili> does ubuntu 10.10 apply some it its own patches to transmission that alter its behaviour in the notification area so that left click brings up menu instead of show/hide?
[18:18] <akashm> hi alll
[18:18] <sresu> thiebaude: Its about Dell Inspiron M101z
[18:18] <acicula> just ask Thomas_Nie
[18:18] <shazzr> Thomas_Nie: install links, the browser.
[18:18] <thiebaude> ahh ok
[18:18] <pksadiq> thiebaude: and too its not a problem related to ubuntu
[18:19] <akashm> i have one question
[18:19] <snarkster> last time i tried fglrx nothing worked.
[18:19] <thiebaude> my bad i jjst seen where you said single core,lol
[18:19] <thiebaude> just
[18:19] <acicula> snarkster: yeah that doesnt really tell me much :/, trying the hardware driver is all i got
[18:19] <Thomas_Nie> shazzr: Thanks, that was my intention :-)
[18:19] <rusivi> Thomas_Nie: May want to virtualize a GUI and encrypt-stream it to an approved box.
[18:19] <snarkster> its installing
[18:19] <acicula> snarkster: err then dont try that. You could test with a ubuntu 10.10 RC live cd and see if you have more luck?
[18:19] <shazzr> Thomas_Nie: so problem, or rather challenge, solved?
[18:19] <snarkster> thanks for your help tho
[18:19] <thiebaude> pksadiq, np when i had windows 7
[18:19] <Quantum_Ion> ubuntu runs on just about every computer platform now
[18:20] <snarkster> ill download the rc iso
[18:20] <sresu> thiebaude: It will work?
[18:20] <Thomas_Nie> rusivi: later on it will be possible, i am setting up this box right now and have only console
[18:20] <thiebaude> oh yes no problem at all
[18:20] <Quantum_Ion> you can always buy an external usb hardrive and load ubuntu on it and it willl run on any machine
[18:20] <snarkster> time for a smoke break..
[18:20] <thiebaude> sresu,
[18:20] <Thor^^> Hi, how can I resolve that libcurl4-cares-dev does not want to install because it relies on libcurl3-cares?
[18:20] <sresu> thiebaude: I heard amd have some issues
[18:20] <shadowscene> Thor^^, install libcurl3-cares ?
[18:20] <akashm>  when i try try to run $ gksudo ./myscript, it doesnt do anything
[18:20] <acicula> Thor^^: you can force the issue, but its better to just isntall the dependencies
[18:20] <rusivi> Thomas_Nie: bring your laptop in w/ 3G/4G/WiFi, and set up a temp stand next to your console.
[18:21] <thiebaude> wonder if i should stick to LTS realeases
[18:21] <akashm> any suggestions?
[18:21] <thiebaude> im using ubuntu 10.10
[18:21] <Thor^^> shadowscene: this is the error then: libcurl3-cares: Depends: libssl0.9.8 (>= 0.9.8m-1) but 0.9.8k-7ubuntu8.1 is to be installed
[18:21] <thiebaude> sresu, yes, my computer cant shut down it only restarts
[18:21] <padhu> rusivi: i am using lucid. How can i install it. any older plug-ins available in ubuntu repo?
[18:21] <thiebaude> when i try to shut it down,lol
[18:22] <shadowscene> Thor^^, have you tried installing openssl as well
[18:22] <tacomaster> does anyone have an idea on my wireless problem i stated?
[18:23] <VISITOR13020> hello
[18:23] <Thor^^> shadowscene: apt say that it's currently latest version
[18:23] <VISITOR13020> What's the difference between ubuntu studio and ubuntu desktop
[18:23] <acicula> the dependency lists a newer version, k<m, it wants m but k is available
[18:23] <shadowscene> Thor^^, try updating your repository
[18:23] <shadowscene> sudo apt-get update
[18:23] <shadowscene> I think
[18:23] <acicula> Thor^^: are you using any non default archives or ppa's?
[18:23] <elb0w> Such a shame theres no native query browser for ubuntu
[18:23] <elb0w> would of been nice
[18:24] <erUSUL> elb0w: define "native query browse"
[18:24] <howlymowly> hi poeple..  short question:  can I download the new ubuntu font somewhere?
[18:24] <Thor^^> shadowscene: did it, still claim 0.9.8 is latest(which seems to be from the ssl page as well)
[18:24] <thiebaude> elb0w, what is native query browser?
[18:24] <shadowscene> VISITOR13020, the Ubuntu Desktop is more meant for regular joe computer users who want something that works for them
[18:24] <elb0w> Navicat and heidisql requires wine
[18:24] <elb0w> and the mysql-query-browser is crap
[18:24] <shadowscene> Ubuntu Studio (iirc) is for uh
[18:24] <acicula> Thor^^: how are you installing libcurl4-cares-dev?
[18:24] <Thor^^> acicula: using manheim mirror
[18:24] <shadowscene> god
[18:24] <shadowscene> i cant remember
[18:24] <VISITOR13020> so you dont know the answer to my question is what you're saying
[18:24] <aeon-ltd> howlymowly: yes, first google link http://design.canonical.com/2010/07/the-ubuntu-font/
[18:25] <VISITOR13020> i know what ubuntu desktop is because i use it, but studio looks more intriguing
[18:25] <Thor^^> acicula: sudo apt-get install libcurl4-cares-dev libcurl3-cares libssl0.9.8 is the command right now
[18:25] <Pici> !studio | VISITOR13020 shadowscene
[18:25] <rusivi> padhu: I am using Lucid 32x and highest Firefox update is 3.6.10, update FFvand let us know if that works out for you.
[18:25] <VISITOR13020> THANKS UBOTTU
[18:25] <shadowscene> Pici: Thanks. I knew it had something to do with a/v
[18:25] <VISITOR13020> GOD MY PUSSY SMELLS
[18:25] <acicula> Thor^^: well if liburl3-cares wants a newer packakge then .9.8k it seems broken
[18:25] <shadowscene> ...rofl what
[18:25] <shadowscene> how mature
[18:26] <Thor^^> acicula: and how can I resolve that? or who can?
[18:26] <acicula> Thor^^: its is kind of odd too that a newer lib depends on an older vrsion of the same lib
[18:26] <acicula> Thor^^: im just double checkking on google
[18:27] <scriptwarlock> what was that all about?
[18:27] <acicula> Thor^^: can you post the list of repositories you are using
[18:27] <Mathuin> I suspect someone stepped away from their computer without locking their screen. :-)
[18:27] <Thor^^> sec I'll pastebin it
[18:27] <acicula> Thor^^: because it appears you are using someones PPA
[18:27] <ganeshran> hi can someone tell me a good program for logging internet usage data transfer
[18:27] <nukunu> Hello, how do I install .jar files
[18:28] <Dr_Willis> nukunu:  you run them...  java -jar foo.jar
[18:28] <ganeshran> I tried bandwidthd but it gave me an error. couldnt open a .conf file
[18:28] <Dr_Willis> or was it java --jar foo.jar
[18:28] <acicula> ganeshran: iptraf?
[18:28] <acicula> its nice and small and pretty detailed
[18:28] <ganeshran> acicula: thanks. Does this log all internet traffic?
[18:28] <shadowscene> Wireshark
[18:28] <shadowscene> @acicula
[18:28] <acicula> ganeshran: thats an ambiguous statement
[18:28] <nukunu> ganeshran: i have installed jamvm but i seem to get an error when i run jamvm -jar foo.jar
[18:28] <ganeshran> acicula: I have two connections - one wlan0 and one i run through wvidal
[18:29] <acicula> or question even
[18:29] <tiox> Can anyone tell me where I can get ia32_libs_gtk?
[18:29] <acicula> shadowscene: Wireshark is in a different league altogether
[18:29] <acicula> definitly not practical for monitoring usage
[18:29] <Thor^^> acicula: http://pastebin.ca/1957010
[18:30] <rindolf> Hi all. Some spammers have joined #firefox on irc.mozilla.org and said that "This channel has move to #ubuntu on irc.freenode.net". Are you aware of that?
[18:30] <acicula> ganeshran: try it, its free, if you dont like it search using apt-cache and grep for more programs that monitor bandwith
[18:30] <ganeshran> acicula: by usage i meant only the amount of data transferred
[18:30] <Dr_Willis> No idea what jamvm is..
[18:30] <Thor^^> acicula: I think I know who I can slap around for that as well the secondlife repo is prob the issue >.<
[18:30] <ganeshran> acicula: ok i will install it and check
[18:30] <acicula> Thor^^: o_O
[18:30] <Dr_Willis> rindolf:  not a lot that this channel can do about it in any case..
[18:30] <hasek79> i have linux on half my hd and windows on the other... is there a way to boot windows in safe mode b/c i dont have that option in the boot loader
[18:31] <acicula> rindolf: try getting ahold of an op in #freenode to dispense punishment
[18:31] <leo> hoal
[18:31] <Dr_Willis> hasek79:  i thought one hit F8 or somthing as windows booted to force it into safe mode.. ask in #windows
[18:31] <ganeshran> hasek79: After you select the Vista/XP loader on linux boot menu, try pressing F8 or the equivalent ke
[18:31] <leo> hola de colombia
[18:31] <leo> alguien q me pueda ayusar
[18:31] <rindolf> acicula: I don't know who these spammers were.
[18:31] <ganeshran> hasek79: safe mode is not a boot menu option normally
[18:31] <acicula> !co
[18:31] <aeon-ltd> !columbia | leo
[18:31] <scriptwarlock> hasek79, if your fast enough to press the f8 after a quick enter key then you can boot in safe mode
[18:31] <Thor^^> acicula: it's a chroot cause I want to separate build enviroment from my day to day enviroment, I checked against the standard setup that my main uses and it doesn't have libcurl4-cares at all
[18:32] <ganeshran> hasek79: with windows, you can actually be quite slow and still make it :P
[18:32] <acicula> Thor^^: yeah thats what i found too
[18:32] <leo> hola de colombia
[18:32] <wedwo> !es | leo
[18:32] <acicula> Thor^^: either slap the package manager around with a alrge trout, or repackage the offending packages yourself
[18:32] <Dr_Willis> F8 = so Logical! :)
[18:32] <Dr_Willis> Night all/
[18:32] <veteran> does anynone know if there is a programm for graphic design and python?
[18:32] <acicula> Thor^^: repackaging an existing package is relatively easy
[18:32] <ganeshran> does iptraf require sudo access? It is asking me to.
[18:33] <acicula> gtk layout manager?
[18:33] <Thor^^> acicula: is there any way to force it or do I have to compile myself?
[18:33] <acicula> ganeshran: yeah any monitor will
[18:33] <dynamicFail> s
[18:33] <aeon-ltd> veteran: in the same app?
[18:33] <ganeshran> acicula: Ok is it safe to run applications like that. I usually avoid sudo
[18:33] <acicula> Thor^^: well you can use dpkg to inject the package and ignore the whining of apt-get
[18:33] <queso> When sudo-ing as a user that doesn't have a ~, does /etc/skel/.bashrc get loaded?
[18:33] <acicula> Thor^^: but it wont stop until you make it happy
[18:33] <veteran> aeon-ltd, can i design the programm interface and thes write python code?
[18:33] <dynamicFail> Dr_Willis: How would I restore a imaged drive with DD from an external... you couldn't dd over your active drive I imagine.. do you need to use a live cd or something?
[18:34] <acicula> ganeshran: there are inherent risks to running any program as root, however you cant monitor the interfaces as a normal user
[18:34] <aeon-ltd> veteran: not sure, you mean like a wysiwyg python IDE?
[18:34] <ganeshran> acicula: ok I will run it as root
[18:34] <ganeshran> acicula: thanks for the help
[18:34] <veteran> aeon-ltd, what is wysiwg ??
[18:34] <ganeshran> do monitoring applications make the internet slow.
[18:34] <aeon-ltd> veteran: what you see is what you get
[18:35] <D4CH> quick question: I'm installing 10.04 netbook version on my netbook, when 10.10 comes out, will that just be an update through update manager or do I have to wipe and reinstall? I'm new to ubuntu
[18:35] <hasek79> it had that choice to hit f8 before i put linux  on here now i dont get a chance to see it
[18:35] <ganeshran> D4CH: Just an update
[18:35] <D4CH> aweomse
[18:35] <D4CH> Awesome*
[18:35] <D4CH> Thanks
[18:35] <acicula> ganeshran: it can, but in this case you probably wont know the difference
[18:35] <ganeshran> hasek79: Linux's boot menu is one level before windows loads. So whatever you used to do you can still do
[18:35] <acicula> hasek79: just start hammering f8
[18:35] <aeon-ltd> D4CH: be sure to keep up with releases though, as falling 2 releases behind can cause upgrade problems
[18:35] <acicula> or f5?
[18:36] <hasek79> lol
[18:36] <veteran> aeon-ltd, not sure...forget what i say.lets see.if i want to write a programm in python what can i do to make the interface?
[18:36] <hasek79> ok ill try that thank you
[18:36] <D4CH> aeon-ltd: Just updating when it requires me to?
[18:36] <aeon-ltd> veteran: oh ok, then sorry i do not know of any app that can do that
[18:36] <ganeshran> On what timezone is 10.10 releasing?
[18:36] <jamil_1>  Hi, I am behind a proxy with basic authentication and I have my credential in format: Domain\id:passwd. It works for most of the application but for goldendict, wireshark shows that it send only id:passwd and skips the domain. Any clue/help ?
[18:36] <aeon-ltd> D4CH: pretty much, although 10.04 is LTS so not updating will be fine aswell
[18:36] <ganeshran> I meant at what timezone's 12:00 AM will 10.10 release
[18:37] <dynamicFail> has anyone here used fsarchiver before?
[18:37] <D4CH> LTS?
[18:37] <aeon-ltd> D4CH: long term support
[18:37] <D4CH> Gotcha. Thanks
[18:37] <ganeshran> 9.04 says good bye this 23'rd.
[18:37] <ganeshran> RIP
[18:37] <imanc> http://swarmation.com/
[18:38] <toad> Hi, could anybody help me http://dpaste.com/254594/
[18:38] <acicula> imanc: please dont advertise link
[18:38] <magicianlord> Does Unity work on Openbox?
[18:38] <Quantum_Ion> ganeshran, I would always recommend a back hard drive and use rsync to back up all your important ubuntu files
[18:38] <acicula> toad: try adding a target directory to move to?
[18:38] <ganeshran> Quantum_Ion: I back up all my data regulary :)
[18:39] <toad> acicula: what
[18:39] <Quantum_Ion> ganeshran, lol yeah but most new users of computer operating systems don't
[18:39] <acicula> toad: that code just moves (i).mp3 to i.mp3
[18:40] <toad> acicula: of course, rename the file
[18:40] <aeon-ltd> Quantum_Ion: heh if only it was free or incredibly cheap to backup whole systems :)
[18:40] <Quantum_Ion> When those USB hardrives can hold about 500GB of data or more backing up will be an easy tash for most users
[18:40] <ganeshran> external drives already do
[18:40] <glebihan> toad: replace old="a ($i).mp3" by old="a\\ ($i).mp3"
[18:40] <tacomaster> does a wireless card have to have a wlan* prefix to work properly?
[18:40] <Quantum_Ion> aeon-ltd, That is were cloud computing will come in you will backup your hardrive to a cloud computing service
[18:41] <Quantum_Ion> I rather backup my data to a USB external hard drive or a USB stick
[18:41] <ganeshran> If we can make data transfer fast enough, our data should be on the cloud
[18:41] <aeon-ltd> Quantum_Ion: yeah, although the internet speed where i'm from is incredibly slow to grow, (compared to japan, korea etc)
[18:41] <ganeshran> with redundancy
[18:42] <Quantum_Ion> ganeshran, true the internet is not as fast as it should be
[18:42] <dynamicFail> anyone here familar with fsarchiver? I was wondering if it is possible backup an entire drive instead of individual parititons?
[18:42] <Thor^^> acicula: is there any way to force it or do I have to compile myself?
[18:42] <ganeshran> aeon-ltd: tell me about it . I am on a 2mbps connection :(
[18:42] <aeon-ltd> dynamicFail: read the man pages for it, it may have more details
[18:42] <ganeshran> and sad part is, its the fastest around here for affordable cost
[18:42] <acicula> Thor^^: you can install the deb via dpkg and tell it to ignore dependencies
[18:42] <tron__> i am going to do a fresh install of ubuntu 10.10 once the final version is released. Is there a way to backup the list of PPAs because I want to add them back.?
[18:43] <Thor^^> ah k
[18:43] <acicula> Thor^^: this will pretty much break your package manager though
[18:43] <shazzr> Is there a command I can run to check the "health" of my HD? My computer keeps hanging without any reason...
[18:43] <aeon-ltd> tron__: just cooy your sources.list
[18:43] <aeon-ltd> *copy
[18:43] <Quantum_Ion> ganeshran, In this crazy economy they charge a lot for telcom services nowadays blah !
[18:43] <jonnor> In Ubuntu packages, which status should I use when the bug has been fixed upstream? (that is, in the applications development version)
[18:43] <acicula> Thor^^: you can inject a dependency without actually installing the package, that will fix apt-get nagging
[18:43] <tron__> aeon-ltd, thats it? it won't break anything?
[18:43] <acicula> but i've never tried that myself, google for injecting dependencies in apt-get
[18:43] <ganeshran> too much if you ask me. Internet should be everywhere like its in S.Korea
[18:44] <jonnor> shazzr: smartmontools
[18:44] <aeon-ltd> tron__: hopefully not :), assuming canonical sdon't introduce new PPAs for stock ubuntu, besides you can just add the lines you;ve put in to the new sources.list
[18:44] <Quantum_Ion> ganeshran, If you live in America they want you to pay top dollar for every service really
[18:44] <frank82vt>  I can install Ubuntu 8.10 (kernel <IP_ADDRESS>) in LVM2 partitions, but i cant do the same whit ubuntu 8.10 (kernel 2.6.34). How can i solve this?
[18:44] <aeon-ltd> !8.10 | frank82vt
[18:45] <tron__> aeon-ltd, uhm ok...is there any app that can do it for third party ppas only?
[18:45] <ganeshran> Quantum_Ion: Yup.. but bandwidth in the developed world is still cheaper than the developing world :(
[18:45] <Quantum_Ion> ganeshran, okay where are you from India ?
[18:45] <aeon-ltd> tron__: not sure, the lines are at the bottom of the file anyway, its not much work
[18:45] <ganeshran> Quantum_Ion: yup
[18:45] <tron__> aeon-ltd, ok thanks :)
[18:46] <aeon-ltd> tron__: ok, glad i could help (although it wasn't the shortest method) :)
[18:46] <Quantum_Ion> ganeshran, I would think India and China had the highest speed internet networks nowadays since most of the global economy is operating out of Asia
[18:46] <acicula> ganeshran: wireless broadband technologies will soon fill that void. much quicker and cheaper then putting in cables
[18:46] <veteran> does anyone know if i can write python on Qtdesigner?
[18:46] <aeon-ltd> acicula: and much more prone to interference
[18:47] <ganeshran> Quantum_Ion: Nah. Corporate offices have wonderful connections. Fibre. very reliable. But home internet penetration is still less and so is bandwidth
[18:47] <ganeshran> acicula: Hope so.
[18:47] <sburwood> I've a question that could be in either ubuntu or in ubuntu+1.  If I upgrade to Maverick (which is still in rc), will I be able to (and will that change anything) to reupgrade starting on October 10th when Maverick is released officially
[18:47] <Quantum_Ion> ganeshran, okay I understand
[18:47] <acicula> aeon-ltd: true, but thats less of an issue in low density areas then it is in a metropole
[18:47] <acicula> sburwood: yes
[18:47] <aeon-ltd> acicula: yeah, seeing how san francisco failed at city wide wifi
[18:48] <invisible> hey everyone im a dumb
[18:48] <aeon-ltd> !ot | invisible
[18:48] <sburwood> invisible, you aren't dumb
[18:48] <veteran> does anyone know if i can write python on Qtdesigner?
[18:48] <ganeshran> around here Wireless still has slower speeds compared to wirted
[18:48] <nuestra> !guidelines
[18:48] <dynamicFail> anyone here familar with fsarchiver? I was wondering if it is possible backup an entire drive instead of individual parititons?
[18:48] <ganeshran> even though the theoretical speeds are higher.
[18:48] <dynamicFail> !fsarchiver
[18:48] <invisible> :( yes i am
[18:48] <flintwestwood> hi there, is there any way to stop ubuntu from broadcastin gits machine name? when i log into my router i can see the name of my computer. that oncerns me when i connect to public wifi
[18:49] <acicula> aeon-ltd: well city wide wifi wont work, because the 2.4Ghz band is too crowded and not big enough even with small cells to cope
[18:49] <aeon-ltd> veteran: please try google sometime, http://www.cs.usfca.edu/~afedosov/qttut/ (that was the first link)
[18:49] <sburwood> invisible: You aren't dumb unless you have the ability to learn and refuse to do so. (if you remain ignorant)
[18:49] <erUSUL> flintwestwood: the router has it becouse your machine is a dhclient of it
[18:49] <Quantum_Ion> flintwestwood, edit /etc/hostname file
[18:49] <flintwestwood> well, when my xbox is pugged in, it doesnt show up as xbox
[18:50] <sburwood> acicula: Thanks
[18:50] <flintwestwood> its just -------
[18:50] <sburwood> bye everyone
[18:50] <aeon-ltd> acicula: have you heard of 'super wifi'?
[18:50] <erUSUL> flintwestwood: your xbox has no hostname set ...
[18:50] <flomaster> hello I am looking to copy 3 files from a directory via one command line example  /media/foo  /media/bar /media/foobar   to  /newlocation/foo /newlocation/bar /newlocation/foobar  I know how do copy one at a time, but  how do I do all 3 one one command line ?
[18:50] <acicula> aeon-ltd: err what standard would that be
[18:50] <flintwestwood> will that affect terminal in any way?
[18:50] <ganeshran> will large area wifi work in the US, given teh geographical size and that vast areas are underpopulated
[18:51] <acicula> wifi doesnt do so well as a long range transmission system, despite people managing large distances
[18:51] <aeon-ltd> acicula: unnannouced so far iirc, but its the same except it operates between 50-700mhz
[18:51] <erUSUL> flomaster: cp /media/{foo,bar,foobar} /newlocation/
[18:51] <ganeshran> I used to work for Dell before (yes, tech support), and a lot of customers in MST region still used dial up
[18:51] <aeon-ltd> acicula: this lower frequency should improve on that
[18:51] <flomaster> erUSUL: thank you very much  :)
[18:52] <flintwestwood> ok, once i change the machine name, do i have to reboot for the changes to take effect?
[18:52] <churl> Anyone know an app to make an mp3 tagged as a podcast?  I hear tell it's a bit of work.
[18:52] <acicula> aeon-ltd: yeah its basicalyl the old tv spectrum?
[18:52] <aeon-ltd> acicula: yeah it is limited to the white spaces between old tv spectrums
[18:52] <ganeshran> flintwestwood: can some see your machine name on public wifi?
[18:52] <flintwestwood> yes
[18:52] <flintwestwood> and thats not disco disco
[18:53] <dhiry2k> getting error in installing xfce4 or lxde as no such package
[18:53] <dhiry2k> i am trying to install for arm using chroot
[18:53] <aeon-ltd> dhiry2k: search it in synaptics
[18:53] <aeon-ltd> dhiry2k: oh, please ignore my messahe
[18:53] <aeon-ltd> *message
[18:53] <dhiry2k> aeon i am in chroot jail
[18:53] <acicula> aeon-ltd: looks nice enough, especially if they can standardize the frequencies globally
[18:54] <aeon-ltd> dhiry2k: do a 'sudo apt-get update' first to get new package lists
[18:54] <faure> hi all. if I want to run a command like "sudo chown -R user:user dir" every hour, do I just write that command in a text file and save it in my cron.hourly folder ?
[18:54] <dhiry2k> aeon-ltd, that also i did but not getting package name
[18:54] <ukev> hi, which library can I use to change compiz settings from commandline?
[18:54] <acicula> faure: well it has to be executable or you have to schedule a cronjob that executes the commands in the text file every hour
[18:54] <dhiry2k> may be need to add some more repo entry
[18:55] <Sebastiaan> I have a problem with my hp dv7. I can only boot it with vesa and nomodeset flag.  No hotkeys work. 10.10 manages to recover to a shell, but still fail at a normal boot.   I'm trying to install a .deb with dpkg.  Is there a way that I can get more verbose error output?
[18:56] <erUSUL> KillGuta: you present as fact what is oly your opinion.
[18:56] <Quantum_Ion> KillGuta, hey if you dont like KDE use GNOME
[18:56] <acicula> Steve973: verbose flag?
[18:56] <KillGuta> xD
[18:56] <MrMagoo> Hi again. Still really struggling with this problem in dpkg: gconftool-2: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_regex_unref. Can't boot into gnome, cant fix broken apt-get packages, can't fix dpkg. Any ideas really appreciated...
[18:57] <acicula> MrMagoo: any chance of just doing a fresh reinstall?
[18:57] <Sebastiaan> oh, btw, the live cd boots just fine
[18:58] <MrMagoo> acicula: Happy to reinstall so long as I can keep files on that FS. Is that doable?
[18:58] <wildc4rd> evening all
[18:58] <acicula> MrMagoo: connect another disk, drag over any files to that disk, reinstall and copy them back?
[18:58] <Quantum_Ion> Sebastiaan, Does your hp have an NVidia vide chipset in it ?
[18:58] <ccw_> hi folks.  has anyone had trouble compiling the standard c++ libraries in ubuntu?  using gcc 4.4 to compile a program that includes <limits>, I get a compiler error about ~300 lines into that file, which I haven't modified from the installed condition
[18:58] <Steve973> acicula, what is the verbose flag for dpkg?
[18:59] <Sebastiaan> Quantum_Ion: no, it's an ATI/i5 hybrid
[18:59] <kanzie> Any good guide for setting up redmine on my ubuntu 10?
[18:59] <aeon-ltd> dhiry2k: sorry to leave you hanging but googling around i can't find any sources.lists or ppas for maverick arm devices
[18:59] <acicula> Steve973: err lookit up using  man dpkg pageup/down and q to exit
[18:59] <flintwestwood> brb rebooting comp
[18:59] <Steve973> acicula, there is no verbose flag.
[18:59] <Quantum_Ion> Sebastiaan, HP Computers are weird when it comes to running alternative operating systems
[18:59] <ThinWhiteDuke> is there anyway to forward ports to my PS3 using ICS in Ubuntu lucid lynx
[19:00] <acicula> Steve973: sool, maybe the apt-get or dpkg log can tell you anything?
[19:00] <erUSUL> ThinWhiteDuke: enable the apropiate iptables/ufw rules ...
[19:00] <acicula> Sebastiaan: can you disable one of the gpus in the bios?
[19:00] <Sebastiaan> Quantum_Ion: yeah, I noticed :) Ubuntu was the firs distro to run without the 'acpi=off' flag
[19:00] <MrMagoo> acicula: *nods* A few DBs I'd like to keep. It may come to that, but if at all possible I'd loove to save this machine. All my other machines I'd reformat in a minute, this one I'd loove to keep.
[19:00] <ThinWhiteDuke> is there a program to do  it
[19:00] <acicula> MrMagoo: some dbs go in /var
[19:00] <Sebastiaan> Quantum_Ion: no, the bios fails bigtime
[19:01] <HiddenHeroDH> someone know where to find the "perf_event.h"?
[19:01] <Steve973> acicula, it only says that it half-installed the package.  I am trying to find out *why*
[19:01] <acicula> MrMagoo: best way with sql is just to dump the entire database to a file and just read it in
[19:01] <erUSUL> HiddenHeroDH: probably in the kernel headers
[19:01] <Steve973> acicula, dpkg.log, that is.
[19:01] <Sebastiaan> Quantum_Ion: just a few useless settings in the bios
[19:01] <HiddenHeroDH> erUSUL: where? sorry i don't know
[19:02] <HiddenHeroDH> erUSUL: where can i find the kernel headers?
[19:02] <erUSUL> HiddenHeroDH: « sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) »
[19:03] <MrMagoo> acicula: *nods* Cheers. I'll tinker for another hour or two, but it looks like it might come down to that.
[19:03] <acicula> MrMagoo: the error means that some function or variable or we is not or no longer present in a library. Basically the two packages are mismatched
[19:04] <Quantum_Ion> Sebastiaan, I wonder never recommend HP computers to anyone just poor quality, HP computers really just cares about Windows
[19:04] <Sebastiaan> Yeah, I know that now too :)
[19:04] <acicula> Steve973: i cant find something usefull on debugging the scripts that come with the deb, maybe the packaging wiki has something usefull on it
[19:05] <acicula> Sebastiaan: can you disable the discret gpu in the bios?
[19:05] <Sebastiaan> Quantum_Ion: If you want, you can read more about my problem here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1584732
[19:05] <Quantum_Ion> Sebastiaan, I used to own an HP laptop that was so buggy there was lawsuit put out on HP for knowningly selling buggy NIVIDIA chipsets with HP Computers
[19:05] <Quantum_Ion> Sebastiaan, okay thanks
[19:05] <Sebastiaan> acicula: no, I cannot change any usefull bios settings
[19:05] <Rasuogen> Who would recommend "Open box" over "Black Box" or " Flux Box" I keep leaning toward "open box" as my new lite GUI.
[19:06] <acicula> can you still return it?
[19:06] <Quantum_Ion> Sebastiaan, Your problem is definately the Crappy HP computer not Ubuntu
[19:06] <Sebastiaan> acicula sorry? return what?
[19:06] <Rasuogen> one of my friends just got that Nvidia letter yesterday about the bad GPUs/
[19:06] <Sebastiaan> no, I know it isn't ubuntu :)
[19:07] <carmen> Good Morning all
[19:07] <acicula> the laptop, hybrid gpu setups are still pretty terrible
[19:07] <Quantum_Ion> Rasuogen, That is what I am talking about
[19:07] <acicula> under linux that is
[19:07] <c0rona> Is there yet official 10.10 release party channel?
[19:07] <Sebastiaan> but i was hoping to still be able to fix itr
[19:07] <arosen1> Hello, I'm having trouble getting hostapd working I'm using the driver=nl80211, here is what it is telling me when I try to start it. http://pastebin.com/6pFz8kDV
[19:07] <erUSUL> c0rona: #ubuntu-release-party ?
[19:07] <Rasuogen> anyone about Open Box? yay or nay
[19:07] <c0rona> #join ubuntu-release-party
[19:07] <Sebastiaan> As it worked before the initial updating
[19:07] <erUSUL> !best
[19:08] <Quantum_Ion> Rasuogen, NVidia and HP Computers are 2 of the most shady computer parts manufacturers
[19:08] <MrMagoo> acicula: *nods* Yeah. I'm guessing if I can get libglib-2.0.0 reinstalled it should fall back into place, but I can't reinstall through the repositories. Any ideas for getting that installed without apt-get?
[19:08] <Quantum_Ion> At least Dell supports Ubuntu and stands by their products
[19:08] <Quantum_Ion> NVidia and HP only address the issue when there is lawsuit pending
[19:09] <Sebastiaan> hmm, so, if I dump this (new) laptop, you'd recommend me a dell?
[19:09] <Schmitty> Dell's support sucks but I'm not really satisfied with anyones support.
[19:09] <acicula> Sebastiaan: well http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Nzk0Mw some work is being don
[19:09] <acicula> MrMagoo: manual download from the mirror and install with dpkg
[19:09] <Quantum_Ion> Sebastiaan, Dell and Gateway usually I have had no problems running Ubuntu
[19:09] <kermit> argh Evolution has an option to import an addressbook in CSV, but nowhere can i find what fields it wants!
[19:09] <Quantum_Ion> Sebastiaan, just stay away far away from HP products period
[19:09] <Sebastiaan> acicula: yeah, but it's not the gpu failing atm...
[19:10] <Sebastiaan> Quantum_Ion: oh believe me, I will
[19:10] <kwtm> erUSUL: Are you still there? Was away, came back, saw bits of your text re: networking.  Are you having the same problems as I: can't connect via ethernet?
[19:10] <MrMagoo> acicula: *nods* I'll try, but dpkg needs to access the broken file in order to install the broken file. Catch-22. ;-)
[19:11] <erUSUL> kwtm: no; i am not having any problems. i usually here helping others ;P
[19:11] <acicula> MrMagoo: its never easy
[19:11] <acicula> Sebastiaan: err what is?
[19:11] <kwtm> erUSUL: Was it Mathuin you were helping? Darn, guess s/he's gone... could you help walk me through some network problems?
[19:12] <erUSUL> kwtm: make the question in one line. i would read it and help if i can. others will rad it too

[19:13] <Sebastiaan> acicula: hmm, dunno exactly, but since recov.mode also fails, and even after uninstalling AND modprobe -r'ing all video drivers the problem still persists, I guess it must be something else
[19:13] <cx42net> hello!

[19:15] <kwtm> Using Kubuntu 10.04 with no network problems till yesterday, then suddenly won't autoconnect to network via wifi or ethernet. KNetworkManager says "connections unmanaged", can't access right-click menu. Tried "sudo dhclient" which will connect ok for a few minutes ("ping www.google.com" is ok), then it silently loses connection ("ping www.google.com" is 100% packet loss) although still able...
[19:15] <kwtm> ...to ping router (DD-WRT Linksys 54GL). Doubt router problem since other computers connecting ok, including this WinXP laptop I'm using.
[19:15] <FloodBot3> kwtm: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:16] <mkquist__> cx42net: how do you mean? like the icon locations?
[19:16] <kwtm> FloodBot3, not intentional. ChatZilla automatically put the "Enter".  You should be better programmed.
[19:16] <svm_invictvs> Does Ubuntu have tools to make an image of a ubuntu system taht I can then use to install to multiple boxes?
[19:16] <acicula> Sebastiaan: i wouldnt know where to begin tbh, if it worked before id just reinstall and not switch drivers
[19:16] <acicula> !automate
[19:17] <Sebastiaan> acicula: yeah, I will, 10.10.10 :)
[19:17] <cx42net> mkquist__: I'm not sure to understand what you mean by location, but for example, for the Download folder, I have a down arrow on the folder, i'd like to create an other folder with the same arrow
[19:17] <kwtm> erUSUL: Is that the right amount of detail for my question, or should I have made the line shorter (ChatZilla auto-split the line) so FloodBot wouldn't complain?

[19:17] <akaruz> Hello everyone
[19:17] <acicula> kwtm: if you can ping your router then your wifi is working fine
[19:17] <akaruz> is ubuntu 10.10 usefull ?
[19:17] <Newa> acicula: the usb started working again
[19:17] <cuddlefish_XO> akaruz: not really. Wait 3 days
[19:17] <jpds> akaruz: Potentially.
[19:18] <acicula> Newa: what changed?
[19:18] <bivo> After updates last week I can't load into my wubi install of UNR. After the windows bootloader I get this error for a split second where grub should be loading: To (HD0,0) : NTFS5 NOWUBIDIR
[19:18] <bivo> To (HD0,1) : NTFS5
[19:18] <kwtm> acicula: I am not using Wifi to ping the router.  I am using ethernet. THe question is: why is KNetworkManager "unmanaged"?
[19:18] <jpds> cuddlefish_XO: useful, not usable.
[19:18] <Newa> kept machine unpowered for 1 hour
[19:18] <akaruz> cuddlefish_XO, thanks ;)

[19:18] <Sebastiaan> hmm, well, I'll be off now, I'll call HP tomorrow, and see if they fail as much as their products and website...
[19:19] <acicula> Newa: interesting behaviour
[19:19] <erUSUL> kwtm: kNM connection unmanaged means that you configured it via /etc/network/interfaces? is that correct? is the wired or wifi connection ?
[19:19] <Tink> Hi all
[19:19] <acicula> Newa: was the battery empty before?
[19:19] <acicula> Newa: or is it not a laptop?
[19:19] <Newa> the bios settings remained unchanged, if that's what you mean
[19:19] <Newa> it's a desktop machine
[19:19] <acicula> heh
[19:20] <Tink> Can anyone help? I'm interested in trying the unity interface of my laptop, but i've got ubuntu desktop installed. is there any easy way?
[19:20] <acicula> so now it works but we dont know why
[19:20] <flo_> hi
[19:21] <flo_> why does ureadahead need a patched kernel, and why is it better than other readaheads?
[19:21] <glebihan> Tink: just install unity from synaptic or using "sudo apt-get install unity"
[19:21] <Tink> glebihan: cheers. should i then reboot, or will it start up automatically?
[19:21] <Newa> yep. messed up usb chip that cannot be easily reset perhaps. I'm thinking of applying the idleness fix also if it would stay working.
[19:22] <glebihan> Tink: no need to reboot, just log out and log back in selecting unity as desktop session

[19:23] <acicula> Newa: could try atx reset when it occurs again, press and hold the power button with the system off and disconnected from the powerline. or check the grounding?
[19:24] <Newa> acicula: will do if it happens again
[19:24] <Newa> grounding should be ok, the line is connected to the only grounded socket in the house (kitchen)
[19:24] <invisible> i feel like a noob to ask but i can get the terminal open i did this http://hoedoejedat.be/ubuntu/terminalvenster-openen-in-ubuntu but the terminal open for 2 sec and ............. then it disappear
[19:24] <acicula> or try another cable, heh. i've had usb cables before that worked intermittently
[19:25] <Newa> considering the usb keyboard didn't work either, I'd say the cable is not at fault
[19:25] <acicula> well it could be shorting the hub
[19:25] <acicula> though that doesnt seem very likely
[19:26] <Jinxed--> I just did a dd from my main ubuntu drive to my external drive (the ubuntu drive had sda1, sda2, and sda5) but when I looked at the external drive it just says unknown
[19:26] <acicula> or route it through a powered hub first. I've had some flaky usb performance myself with an older mothreboard where the keyboard would just work intermittently and vary with the port i was using
[19:27] <seebs> I have what may be a really stupid newbie question, but I'm stumped.
[19:27] <acicula> !cloning
[19:27] <seebs> For various Sound Technical Reasons, I must have a package installed which came as a binary package with a single bogus dependency listing.
[19:27] <seebs> The dependency it thinks it has is a lie.  It works fine without the "missing" package.
[19:27] <acicula> why did you use DD, and where does it say unknown?
[19:28] <seebs> But now I cannot interact with apt-get/aptitude without them demanding that I "resolve" the dependency problem.
[19:28] <seebs> The only "solution" they can suggest is to remove this package.  But I don't want it removed.  I want it politely ignored as though it were not there at all.
[19:28] <seebs> Is there any way to force apt-get/aptitude/etc. to simply *ignore* a specific package, or dependency, or something?
[19:28] <jonnor> seebs: modify the package to not include this dep
[19:29] <seebs> How do I modify a .deb file to not include a dependency?  Note that there is no source form available.  (Long story.)
[19:29] <jonnor> Ideally the people who made the package should do that
[19:29] <nascentmind> How do I report a bug for the ctrl+alt+f1 console? what package should I give for apport?
[19:29] <glebihan> seebs: you can also download the package and install it with "sudo dpkg --force-depends -i package.deb"
[19:29] <seebs> glebihan:  I did that.
[19:29] <seebs> ... Wait.  No, I didn't.
[19:29] <seebs> I did --ignore-depends.
[19:30] <acicula> i guess kms takes care of swithcing from graphics to terminal? so kernel or xorg?
[19:30] <jonnor> seebs: a deb is an archive of archives, you should be able to unpack, modify and pack it again
[19:30] <baggar11> seebs: I think you can also do a --no-install-recommends
[19:30] <seebs> ... Hmm.  --force-depends doesn't change it, it still does the same thing.
[19:30] <__filip_> How can i resize my ntfs partion in ubuntu?
[19:31] <acicula> !resize
[19:31] <seebs> The problem is that once I have installed the package (which I can do successfully with --force-depends), the entire apt* family of things is unable to perform any operation without "resolving the conflict".
[19:31] <Drunken> i can tether my htc hd2 on my netbook (ubuntu 9.10 32bit), but when i try to tether on my desktop (10.04 64bit) i cannot connect to the web
[19:31] <acicula> oh well, gparted should let you do that
[19:31] <nascentmind> acicula, xorg?
[19:31] <ActionParsnip> jonnor: dpkg x filename ,to extract debs. If there is a package with duplicated files so refuses to install use: --force-all ,option and log a bug
[19:32] <jonnor> nascentmind: if you have a KMS enable driver, you should file with the kernel. If not, you should file with the xorg driver you are using
[19:32] <__filip_> acicula, what i thought but cant find that opin in the gui
[19:32] <baggar11> Drunken: I tether my laptop with 10.04 to my droid all the time. can you ping the gateway?
[19:32] <Lateralus> Does anyone know where I can find a deb package for lucid of xserver-xorg-video-intel which has displayport support?
[19:32] <ActionParsnip> __filip_: sudo apt-get install gparted ,make sure its installed ;)
[19:32] <blacktooth> __filip__ install it.
[19:32] <Drunken> baggar: i cannot ping at all. i checked the kern.log and it its throwing an error that doesn't happen on the netbook]
[19:33] <noob> can some one help me i gonne read it all carefull how unbutu works
[19:33] <Drunken> rndis_host 2-6:1.0: RNDIS_MSG_QUERY (0x00010202) failed, -47
[19:33] <baggar11> Drunken: are you getting an ip?
[19:33] <noob> but for now i only need to juce the terminal
[19:33] <acicula> __filip_: what are you running as an os now?
[19:33] <__filip_> ActionParsnip, it is installed
[19:33] <Drunken> baggar, yes
[19:33] <__filip_> acicula, 10.10
[19:33] <baggar11> well that's odd
[19:33] <Drunken> indeed.
[19:33] <ActionParsnip> __filip_: then press ALT+F2 and type: gksudo gparted ,it
[19:34] <blacktooth> try running it from terminal. sudo gparted
[19:34] <glebihan> seebs: your best options are probably to rebuild the package correcting the dependency issue or to install from source
[19:34] <ActionParsnip> __filip_: maverick isn't supported here yet. #ubuntu+1 for maverick dude
[19:34] <baggar11> Drunken: that rndis_msg_query is the error you get when trying to ping the gateway?
[19:34] <baggar11> aka, your phone?
[19:34] <Drunken> baggar, i can use ICS to access the cellphone through the netbook. which is extremely slow. i think its something to do with the error above
[19:34] <Drunken> baggar, no
[19:34] <ActionParsnip> blacktooth: gksudo for gui apps dude
[19:34] <seebs> There is no source available, it's a sorta special custom one-off binary package.
[19:35] <Drunken> the rndis error msg was from kern.log when i enable the connection
[19:35] <baggar11> ah
[19:35] <blacktooth> ActionParsnip hmmmm
[19:35] <__filip_> ActionParsnip, sorry 10.04
[19:35] <Drunken> and it doesn't do that with the netbook
[19:35] <seebs> I guess I could just extract the files manually.
[19:35] <milothebutcher> exit
[19:35] <baggar11> Drunken: are you doing wifi tether or sub?
[19:35] <baggar11> hehe, usb?
[19:35] <Drunken> usb
[19:35] <Drunken> :)
[19:35] <ActionParsnip> __filip_: the app should run from the ALT+F2 dialogue
[19:36] <seebs> That's actually the simplest way -- it's really just a couple of files, I can just unpack them and not have them be known to the package system.
[19:36] <__filip_> ActionParsnip, nope it is not
[19:36] <seebs> Still seems weird that there's no way at all to override the dependency check and say "I know you think you need that, but really you don't."
[19:36] <ThinWhiteDuke> can i make a port open all the  time in ubuntu
[19:36] <nascentmind> jonnor, I am getting the same problem in ati as well as via chipset
[19:36] <ThinWhiteDuke> firestarter won't make the port listen
[19:36] <ActionParsnip> __filip_: try launching it from terminal, the output will help
[19:36] <ThinWhiteDuke> so i need to force  it open
[19:36] <ActionParsnip> ThinWhiteDuke: by default they are
[19:37] <Oscar_> Hi all
[19:37] <flame_axoneme> hi all
[19:37] <git__> how can I get firestarter log icmp?
[19:37] <nascentmind> I am getting error on both ati as well as via chipset. is kms enabled for via?
[19:37] <ActionParsnip> ThinWhiteDuke: if you are behind a router, you will need to configure that, not ubuntu
[19:37] <cesurasean> can someone please help me fix this issue with quota? - http://pastebin.com/2rfXwvMz
[19:37] <flame_axoneme> i'm newbie here and i have connection problem.. +_+
[19:37] <Oscar_> does anyone have used a phidget board to boot ubuntu into a Blaze?
[19:37] <git__> i want to see what ip address is attempting or have successfully made a connection to my machine
[19:37] <ThinWhiteDuke> the router is  configured fine
[19:37] <ActionParsnip> !details | flame_axoneme
[19:37] <ThinWhiteDuke> my laptop is the dmz host
[19:38] <ThinWhiteDuke>  but ports are  still blocked
[19:38] <flame_axoneme> how to set huawei e220 modem on linux?
[19:38] <ActionParsnip> git__: netstat -a ,will show currentconnections
[19:38] <D4CH> Could someone link me to an explanation on what the keyring is and why I should or should not use it?
[19:38] <baggar11> Drunken: have you tried, or can you do wifi tether? I actually, only do wifi tethering...
[19:38] <eross> is it possible to disable mouse buttons #4 and 5, if so how
[19:38] <Guest87945> using ubuntu how can I format a drive to ntfs that a windows install cd will recognize
[19:38] <baggar11> Drunken: or wait, is this on your desktop, with no wifi card?
[19:39] <Drunken> baggar, yes. i love wifi tethering. shame my desktop doesn't have a wifi card
[19:39] <Drunken> lol
[19:39] <Drunken> you beat me to it.
[19:39] <ActionParsnip> D4CH: it remembembers passwords you use to access remote things like ftp servers and samba shares
[19:39] <rusivi> baggar11: have done usb tethering w/ Android+Ubuntu via Azilink -> http://code.google.com/p/azilink/
[19:40] <ActionParsnip> baggar11: android comes with a tethering app for most things
[19:41] <flame_axoneme> i'm using ubuntu 10.04 lucid. When i connect from network manager, 5 seconds later it disconnected automatically. I have already tried umtsmon too. It worked at first, but later it says "can't create PPP connection". Anyone can help?
[19:41] <ActionParsnip> Guest87945: if you are installing windows, if you make the space unpartitioned then the inster can be told to format it by itself
[19:41] <ActionParsnip> flame_axoneme: when the connection drops, run: dmesg | tail ,the output will give clues
[19:41] <Guest87945> ActionParsnip if I remove the partition under linux then boot into the windows install cd and partition the drive it only partitions it as raw not ntfs.
[19:42] <cx42net> any idea please ?
[19:42] <flame_axoneme> that happenned when i used huawei e220, now i'm using sierra at/t 881u. works well
[19:42] <santiago> hello
[19:42] <ActionParsnip> Guest87945: yes and the windows installer can be told to use the free space and make a new ntfs partition in it
[19:42] <baggar11> rusivi: I was helping drunken out with his tethering problems. I have a droid, and wifi tether all the time. no probs here. :)
[19:42] <glaucous> I'm having problems that as soon as NVIDIA drivers are enabled, nautilus is really slow - each folder takes 5 seconds or more to show, and often hang the whole  screen. Wine works perfectly though.
[19:43] <robotti^> hello
[19:43] <robotti^> I have problem
[19:43] <santiago> I want to have any software to be availble to check me dvr march 3108
[19:43] <ActionParsnip> Guest87945: new drives you buy from newegg or whatever are exactly the same, there will be no partition on it and you OS installer has to make it
[19:43] <Guest87945> ActionParsnip it doesnt, after it creates the new raw partition, the only option it gives me is to install windows onto that partition, but windows wont recognize that partition.
[19:43] <Drunken> battery died...
[19:43] <robotti^> I installed new graphics adapter, but I do not have acceleration, and no opengl. And also no support for dual head
[19:43] <robotti^> Nvidia GPU
[19:44] <ActionParsnip> glaucous: what is the output of: lsb_release -c ?
[19:44] <robotti^> what should I do?
[19:44] <noob> if got a bugg
[19:45] <glaucous> ActionParsnip, lucid.
[19:45] <noob> i know it i feel it
[19:45] <robotti^> should i re-install ubuntu?
[19:45] <santiago> any informacion to work dvr?
[19:45] <Anand> hi
[19:45] <flame_axoneme> actually it's not yet connected. i have searched in all forums that this case also happen many. People give solution, but confusing.. +_+
[19:45] <ActionParsnip> Guest87945: you tell the OS to format it. Do you seriously think windows users need a seperate boot disk to partition their drives before installing? Windows isn't that bad
[19:45] <noob> i wanne lurn to juce terminal venster but it wont stay open
[19:46] <noob> and google hates me
[19:46] <ActionParsnip> robotti^: did you install the proprietary driver?
[19:46] <Guest87945> ActionParsnip my whole reason for being in here is because it isnt doing what its supposed to do, its only partitioning the drive as a raw format.
[19:47] <santiago> luis tu escribe en espanol
[19:47] <Wicla> Hello. How do I remove problematic nvidia (properitary) drivers from ubuntu? Screen turns blank once gdm should be shown. It's not possible to switch to any other VT
[19:47] <HaxXxoR> hello
[19:47] <santiago> hello
[19:47] <ActionParsnip> Guest87945: i'd ask in ##windows . You can use ntfsprogs and it will give an ntfs option in gparted butpart of the windows install process is to partition and format
[19:48] <HaxXxoR> anyone here efficient with backtrack?
[19:48] <ShakeyJake> wicla: the drivers are usually called 'nvidia-current'
[19:48] <Wicla> Removed all nvidia* packages. This allowed me to boot into the system and I removed the properiary drivers from the hardware/drivers. Once rebooted it ended up not working again
[19:48] <Guest87945> ActionParsnip ok ill try over there, the ntfs partition that gparted makes windows installer wont recognize either.
[19:48] <santiago> anyone to know how to work wiht dvr
[19:48] <ThinWhiteDuke> how do i make a port listen in ubuntu
[19:49] <ThinWhiteDuke> it's open but won't listen
[19:49] <__filip_> ActionParsnip, i have gparted and ntfsprogs installed. Right click on the ntfs partion-resize then i cant do anything. The terminal doesnt give anything. Where to go or do?
[19:49] <ActionParsnip> Wicla: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html
[19:50] <ActionParsnip> __filip_: make sure the partitions on the disk are all unmounted before starting
[19:50] <Oscar_> does anyone have used a phidget to boot ubuntu into a Blaze?
[19:50] <HaxXxoR> anyone efficient with backtrack
[19:50] <Wicla> ShakeyJake: yeah removed it. It allowed me to boot in "low graphics" mode. They I went to System->Administration->Hardware Drivers and remove the properiary drivers. But it still got blank at gdm once rebooted
[19:50] <Wicla> ActionParsnip: It worked with the open-source drivers
[19:50] <HaxXxoR> looking for some packages that kind of work like that in ubuntu
[19:50] <ActionParsnip> HaxXxoR: backtrack is offtopic here
[19:50] <LucasNeto> boa tarde galera....
[19:50] <kwtm> erUSUL: Rebooted router --boy that was more complicated than I thought.  kNM connection unamanged means I don't know what to do now. Refers to both wired and wireless connection (e.g. usually when I plug in ethernet, then it automatically switches to that from wireless, but now it doesn't connect to anything)
[19:50] <Wicla> Just needs to get rid of the properiary ones :)
[19:51] <__filip_> ActionParsnip, I cant have any partions mounted on the disk?
[19:51] <ActionParsnip> Wicla: i'd still try it
[19:51] <Guest87945> HaxXxor which packages?
[19:51] <ActionParsnip> __filip_: no
[19:51] <HaxXxoR> i realize that i was just looking for some stuff like backtrack in ubuntu
[19:51] <ActionParsnip> HaxXxoR: what specifically?
[19:51] <HaxXxoR> mainly packet snifing and getting on wireless networks
[19:51] <bivo> After updates last week I can't load into my wubi install of UNR. After the windows bootloader I get this error for a split second where grub should be loading: To (HD0,0) : NTFS5 NOWUBIDIR
[19:51] <bivo> To (HD0,1) : NTFS5
[19:52] <__filip_> ActionParsnip, Ok, the ntfs partion is unmounted.
[19:52] <ActionParsnip> HaxXxoR: look into wireshark and aircrack-ng
[19:52] <ActionParsnip> __filip_: ok,it may work now
[19:52] <HaxXxoR> get-pkg? them
[19:52] <ActionParsnip> HaxXxoR: not all wireless adapters can be used in aircrack
[19:53] <HaxXxoR> would wireshark be more universal
[19:53] <ActionParsnip> HaxXxoR: they are in the repos. Not hear of "get-pkg"
[19:53] <wessel> hello, I copy text from a java application, but when I paste it all new lines are missing.
[19:53] <ActionParsnip> *heard
[19:53] <wessel> This problem does not occur on windows
[19:53] <robotti^> ActionParsnip: how I can install it?
[19:53] <wessel> any way to overcome this problem?
[19:53] <ActionParsnip> robotti^: install what?
[19:53] <santiago> dvr
[19:53] <robotti^> ActionParsnip: should I download it from nvidia driver page?
[19:54] <magicianlord> why doesn't chromium conform to gtk-themes?
[19:54] <magicianlord> this is preposterous
[19:54] <kwtm> wessel: Depends where you're pasting to.  Are you pasting into an editor, like Kate, etc.?
[19:54] <robotti^> ActionParsnip: that my new Nvidia GPU problem?
[19:54] <ActionParsnip> robotti^: the on in the repos is the same
[19:54] <__filip_> ActionParsnip, It is not. problem is i cant click anything in the box that shows after right click-resize.
[19:54] <dominicdinada> HaxXxoR: You kind of missed the bus by 10 years to just start "Cracking" lawl fail haxor
[19:54] <xangua> magicianlord: conform¿
[19:54] <ActionParsnip> magicianlord: it canbe made to
[19:54] <xangua> magicianlord: you can st chromium/chrome to use gtk theme
[19:54] <xangua> set*
[19:54] <magicianlord> ActionParsnip: how
[19:54] <ActionParsnip> robotti^: try the 256 version driver from the ppa
[19:54] <wessel> kwtm, I tried vim, and gedit
[19:55] <HaxXxoR> lol wow actually more of a security precaution but thanks for the burn?
[19:55] <magicianlord> with those ugly big buttons on teh right
[19:55] <xangua> magicianlord: in the preferences
[19:55] <wessel> I don't understand how to paste in pico or nano
[19:55] <robotti^> ActionParsnip: should I try ubuntu software center?
[19:55] <magicianlord> xangua: doesn't work
[19:55] <ActionParsnip> magicianlord: so you bitch somethingdoes something so strongly, but it actually does. That's funny
[19:55] <xangua> magicianlord: it does
[19:55] <magicianlord> what? that sentence is nonsensical.
[19:55] <robotti^> ActionParsnip: what I should write here?
[19:55] <robotti^> ActionParsnip: there?
[19:56] <ActionParsnip> magicianlord: its in the options. You can use the compacted theme (more vertical space) or have the decorator on the top. Its in the options
[19:56] <kwtm> wessel: gedit should be ok (but I don't use it, thus not sure). When you paste into gedit, it all comes out in one line?
[19:56] <ActionParsnip> robotti^: its a 3rd party repo. Websearch and you shall find
[19:56] <wessel> kwtm, yes
[19:56] <magicianlord> ActionParsnip: is it called the "compacted" theme?
[19:56] <santiago> any information to install dvr
[19:56] <robotti^> ActionParsnip: ppa ubuntu 10.04?
[19:56] <kwtm> Where are you copying from?  Web browser? (Firefox?)
[19:57] <ActionParsnip> magicianlord: I don't. Know the exact words. I'm not at my pc
[19:57] <ActionParsnip> robotti^: for nvidia 256 driver
[19:57] <robotti^> ActionParsnip: where I can find that information
[19:57] <Cojage> 2 more days
[19:57] <dominicdinada> HaxXxoR: I am not going to get into how fail it is. It is very evident that you are not a security professional
[19:57] <Cojage> wait
[19:57] <Cojage> 3 more days
[19:57] <skiinny> slt tout le monde =)
[19:58] <vee> Hi there! I am wondering how can i check which application(pid) uses my bandwidth at any given time?
[19:58] <HaxXxoR> and how is that?
[19:58] <HaxXxoR> since you seem to know everything?
[19:58] <ActionParsnip> magicianlord: I believe it says use gtk theme or somesuch. I'd imagined you'd seen it with the lack of feature being "preposterous" you must've looked first, right?
[19:58] <Anand> suddenly my audio is not working in ubuntu 9.04...                  mine is a Dell Inspiron with alsa mixer
[19:58] <magicianlord> well, it's gone for good now.
[19:58] <dominicdinada> anyhow God I hate adobe I wish that there is a flash alternative for ubuntu
[19:58] <blacktooth> Why empathy doesnt work when nm-applet crashes, though i am connected to internet?
[19:58] <Anand> it was working b4
[19:58] <magicianlord> ActionParsnip: i know what it says. changing it to gtk-theme does nothing except change the border colour.
[19:58] <skiinny> ya pas de francais ? :s
[19:58] <Jinxed--> Anyone know what is going to happen ? I had a 120 gig harddrive that i imaged to an external drive partition that was 125 gigs using dd, and now I'm in the process of imaging with dd the 125 gig partition a different 120 gig drive... will this work?
[19:59] <xangua> magicianlord: set it to use the native window decorator as well
[19:59] <intrader> I am having difficulties with brasero - from  'Applications ->Sound&Video ->Brasero Disk Burner` with blank disk on inserted and showing on desktop -Brasero does not start
[19:59] <ActionParsnip> Anand: run: killall pulseaudio; rm -r $HOME/.pulse* ,then press ALT+F2 then run: pulseaudio
[19:59] <kwtm> skiinny: Non, seulement de canadiens.  But this channel prefers English.
[19:59] <shadowdave> Sparky
[19:59] <skiinny> a mince :s ya t'il un serveur pour les francais ? =)
[19:59] <ActionParsnip> magicianlord: that's it following the gtk theme. You can get themes for the inside bit on the web
[19:59] <kwtm> !fr | skiinny
[19:59] <dominicdinada> HaxXxoR: by the questions asked. But this is off topic  :D
[20:00] <magicianlord> ActionParsnip: it didn't follow the theme though.
[20:00] <HaxXxoR> well im glad that this is the kind of support that this channel has to offer
[20:00] <skiinny> merci bocoup =)
[20:00] <magicianlord> so never mind. i removed it now.
[20:00] <ActionParsnip> Anand: that's why we need to take steps to fix it ;)
[20:00] <magicianlord> back to firefox
[20:00] <ActionParsnip> magicianlord: your call
[20:00] <Anand> ActionParsnip, wat tht does....???
[20:00] <xangua> !fr | skiinny
[20:00] <ActionParsnip> Anand: it resets your pulse settings to default
[20:01] <vee> how do i check which running app uses my bandwidth in a terminal??
[20:01] <flintwestwood> rebooted and the machine name changed. thanks guys
[20:01] <santiago> please anyone know how to work with March DVr o any software for
[20:01] <kwtm> HaxXxoR: Did ou get your question answered?
[20:01] <blacktooth> Why empathy doesnt work when nm-applet crashes, though i am connected to internet by other means?
[20:01] <Anand> ActionParsnip, thank u....
[20:01] <dominicdinada> kwtm: yes he did
[20:01] <ActionParsnip> Anand: if it doesn't work then you don't lose anything. Also make sure sound isn't muted and such
[20:02] <HaxXxoR> not really all i did was get bashed for asking a question
[20:02] <flintwestwood> what was the question?
[20:02] <D4CH> I love ubuntu more and more, EVERYTHING works on my brand new Samsung N220 netbook :D
[20:02] <Anand> ActionParsnip, sure
[20:02] <flintwestwood> yeah, rocks my socks on mah netbook
[20:02] <D4CH> flintwestwood: are you using the netbook remix?
[20:02] <kwtm> HaxXxoR: Could you repeat the question please.  I think you were looking for a package?  Or you were looking for recommendations?
[20:03] <kwtm> Shoot, I have to go now.  Ok, will stay for a few minutes to see if I can help.
[20:03] <magicianlord> D4CH: how is the new remix? i will be trying it later today
[20:03] <flintwestwood> nope, i couldnt deal with having to learn another interface. stuck with desktop
[20:03] <ActionParsnip> I gots puppy on my netbook, it flyyyyyys
[20:03] <D4CH> magicianlord: I just installed it and its updating now :)
[20:03] <magicianlord> lol puppy
[20:03] <stercor> How do I install a .deb into Lucid Lynx?
[20:03] <dominicdinada> Anyhow so the ffmpeg in the repos doesn't come with theora and the libs for converting flash/video to ogg ?
[20:03] <HaxXxoR> looking for some packages like backtrack on ubuntu
[20:03] <magicianlord> D4CH: ok money
[20:03] <D4CH> hehe
[20:03] <acicula> stercor: dpkg -i, but its better to install via apt-get
[20:03] <flintwestwood> im running 10.04 LTS btw.. my laptop isnt "bleeding edge" and all that
[20:03] <flintwestwood> ohh
[20:03] <Jinxed-> If I just have the normal desktop version of Ubuntu is it safe to do a live backup using fsarchiver with the option -A since the drive is read/write
[20:03] <acicula> stercor: or rather to let apt-get fetch the right package for you
[20:03] <Papyros> can anyone please help me with a problem with mysql and phpmyadmin ?
[20:04] <D4CH> I unpackaged my netbook today, it had Windows 7 starter and it was LOADED with bloatware
[20:04] <flintwestwood> so im guessing that this haxxor fellow is trying to crack wpa/wep keys?
[20:04] <D4CH> so slow
[20:04] <dominicdinada> !ask | Papyros
[20:04] <stercor> acicula: k.  If it's there.  It's a pidgin-facebook interface.
[20:04] <santiago> can anyone please help me with DVR March 3108
[20:04] <acicula> HaxXxoR: backtrack adds and/or modifies some packages to linux. some are also packaged by the ubuntu community, but definitly not all, and transplanting the tools is only partly possible

[20:05] <Tom22> Hello, I wonder if someone could help me? My network has stopped working
[20:05] <stercor> acicula: It was available through apt-get.  Thanks!
[20:06] <Anand> flintwestwood, can u jus tell me which repos u used to install  aircrack-ng and kismet................
[20:06] <acicula> HaxXxoR: id use a vm or dualboot system tbh and use a backtrack distro, that way you can also run some test vms to practice on etc
[20:06] <rneese> afternoon
[20:06] <magicianlord> I need to find some good sticker to put over the logo on my laptop. Does walmart sell good stickers for that?
[20:06] <Oscar_> has anyone used the TITAN tool with the Blaze board???
[20:06] <gilaniali> i am currently logged into as root and wish to add a new account i made to the sudoers file. How do I do that?
[20:06] <flintwestwood> oh.. .. they are available in the default repos
[20:06] <HaxXxoR> yeah im using virtual box for it right now was just trying to get past that and see if they had something like that for ubuntu
[20:06] <Tom22> Hello, I wonder if someone could help me? My network has stopped working
[20:07] <vee> can any1 please help me, is there a way to monitor which running app uses my bandwidth? please
[20:07] <HaxXxoR> @tom22 need more information then your network just stopped working
[20:07] <blacktooth> Tom22 What happened exactly?
[20:07] <flintwestwood> tom22, what do you mean its stopped working? wired / wireless..?
[20:07] <Anand> flintwestwood, no... am using ubuntu 9.10 nd its not there////
[20:08] <Tom22> HaxXxoR, blacktooth, flintwestwood Well, my ubuntu box isn't online anymore. And the light on the ethernet port isn't lighting up. does the specifically mean the hardware has stopped working? or could it be a software issue?
[20:09] <acicula> Tom22: remove and reconnect your cable, if that fails switch out the hub, if that fails try another nic
[20:09] <Chaos2358> is anyone in here familiar with sox?
[20:09] <blacktooth> Tom22 lshw -C network
[20:09] <Drunken> baggar11, I fixed it.
[20:09] <Drunken> damn opensynce stuff was still installed and conflicting somehow
[20:09] <Tom22> acicula, blacktooth. let me just try.
[20:10] <c3l> !anyone | Chaos2358
[20:10] <glaucous> I'm having problems that as soon as NVIDIA drivers are enabled, nautilus is really slow - each folder takes 5 seconds or more to show, and often hang the whole  screen. Wine works perfectly though.
[20:10] <acicula> Tom22: the lack of a light ussually means a mechanical problem or hardware failure, both on your switch and ethernet jack there is a light that should glow indicating a connection, and possibly a second indicating traffic
[20:10] <Chaos2358> c3l dude if you got info for me then respond if not let it go
[20:10] <Arouca> Boa Tarde a Toooooodos

[20:11] <xangua> !pt | Arouca
[20:11] <Arouca> aparece erro do dkpg
[20:11] <Tom22> acicula, that's what I thought. I've tried this cable in another computer, plugged into the same socket on the switch, and it worked fine
[20:11] <Arouca> oh man
[20:11] <Arouca> sorry
[20:11] <Arouca> now i see
[20:11] <gilaniali> how do I add a user account i made to the sudoers list?

[20:13] <c3l> Chaos2358: I dont know what sox is, if its a program not strictly related to ubuntu, it should not be asked in here.

[20:14] <gilaniali> acicula: i dont really know how to do that? whats ursermod? Should i first create a group called admin, add the user to it and then usermod admin?
[20:14] <acicula> Loneclock: just run the update-manager to install any updates including kernel updates
[20:14] <git__> Ubuntu 10.10 rules the world

[20:15] <acicula> gilaniali: there is a sudoers group called admin, just add that to the existing group a suer already has
[20:15] <blacktooth> Tom22: Does 'sudo lshw -c network' show your nic?

[20:15] <Chaos2358> is anyone in here familiar with sox? I downloaded and it doesn't recognize mp3 files as input form. the research i have done says that do to copyright laws they cannot release sox with mp3 recognition that it must be compiled from source code in order to recognize mp3 as input format
[20:15] <git__> i have sporadic disconnect with my usb mouse
[20:16] <heslam> hey guys. i'm trying to use my sony walkman with Rhythmbox and Banshee, but it only seems to be recognised by either program when I run them as sudo, which is less than ideal. does anyone have any experience with this problem? any ideas?

[20:16] <p3nsi0n3r_> any ideas?
[20:16] <c3l> Chaos2358: sux - a wrapper for the standard \'su\' command. That is not something ubuntu-related. This is a support channel for ubuntu, please don't go off-topic. I suggest you refer to #sux if there is one. Or what ever support method the project recommends. For off-topic discussions, please refer to #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:16] <peeps[work]> does someone know where the setting is to change resizing from alt-middle-click to alt-right-click?
[20:16] <brontoeee> Chaos2358, you could use something else to pipe mp3 decoded to sox
[20:16] <kibibyte> elo
[20:17] <Chaos2358> is anybrontoeee I downloaded and it doesn't recognize mp3 files as input form. the research i have done says that do to copyright laws they cannot release sox with mp3 recognition that it must be compiled from source code in order to recognize mp3 as input format

[20:17] <kibibyte> why nobody fixed bug with icons disappering fom left top menu? this bug exists since 1 or more years. Only solution to it is rm -rf .gconf*  and then set desktop from scratch!
[20:18] <kibibyte> sorry right topmenu*
[20:18] <Chaos2358> brontoeee i'm realy new to the command line scene so i know nothing about what you mean what i am trying to do is convert small audio clips from mp3 format to aiff
[20:18] <gilaniali> acicula: i used visudo and edited the file manually
[20:18] <acicula> gilaniali: that works too, heh
[20:18] <Dev^Null> Hey all I have a disk image of ubuntu 9.10 that I replicate to about 500 different machines. I am having an issue with the 70-persistent-net.rules becuaes it wants to name the nic based of the mac address while this changes with each machine. I would like to set it up to look if ATTR{operstate}=="up" then  call that car eth1 I have 2 nic's in each box and only one is ever used. how would I do this.
[20:18] <Anand> what is a better solution to get rid of "BROKEN PACKAGES" ... it comes always to me while using apt-get..... everytime i give apt-get -f install
[20:18] <kibibyte> why nobody fixed bug with icons disappering fom right top menu? this bug exists since 1 or more years. Only solution to it is rm -rf .gconf*  and then set desktop from scratch!
[20:18] <Chaos2358> c3l all the more reason you shouldnt be playing hall monitor hang up your hat for the day
[20:19] <prov> I need serious help. I updated to the latest kernel and now I must use the on screen-keyboard and my responses will be very slow. I cannot use my keyboard. I am on an Imac and the keyboard is wireless. I was also using cryptsetup and now I cannot revert at boot to the old kernel because it says cryptsetup is not available, yet, the new kernel and it alone can use it.
[20:19] <nimrod10`> a
[20:19] <guntbert> kibibyte: 1) don't repeat frequently 2) mind your attitude 3) we are not the developers
[20:19] <acicula> prov: to what kernel did you update?
[20:19] <vee> seriously i am wondering how to monitor my bandwidth in ubuntu 10.10, but i dont get 1 answer. does any1 know or am i on the wrong place ? i see youre helping people setting up aircrack-ng suite very "official ubuntu support"
[20:20] <kibibyte> guntbert, then who are you
[20:20] <kibibyte> ?
[20:20] <c3l> Chaos2358: still, how sox functions isnt an ubuntu related issue, therefore this is not the place to ask for help with that particular software.
[20:20] <prov> acicula: how may i check?
[20:20] <Chaos2358> vee the only way i know of is through cairo dock
[20:20] <robotti^> thank you for help! now I have working system
[20:20] <xangua> vee: #ubuntu+1 for maverick
[20:20] <Anand> what is a better solution to get rid of "BROKEN PACKAGES" ... it comes always to me while using apt-get..... everytime i give apt-get -f install
[20:20] <Chaos2358> and guys how the hell do i block c3l
[20:20] <Chaos2358> i'm sick of seeing super troopers comments
[20:21] <vee> Chaos2358:  can cairo dock do that
[20:21] <dazappa> I'm looking into setting up a dual boot. Win7 came preinstalled, 1 system partition (60gb) and another data (350gb)...
[20:21] <guntbert> kibibyte: I'm just another user/helper - please keep to the topic
[20:21] <Chaos2358> i have a question about ubuntu software the sox dedicated chanel is empty
[20:21] <xangua> Chaos2358: don't think that attitude is gonna work
[20:21] <dazappa> is 5gb enough for a system partition for ubuntu, and is there a way to configure it to use 50gb (creating a new partition in ext3 off my free space in the data partition) and having all apps installed there?
[20:21] <Chaos2358> vee yes there is an applet for it
[20:21] <kibibyte> guntbert, where is ubuntu dev hannekl
[20:21] <kibibyte> channel
[20:21] <xangua> Anand: what't ecactly the message¿ tried sudo apt-get install -f¿
[20:21] <vee> Nice Thank you very much
[20:21] <Dev^Null> Chaos2358, To ignore it is / ignore c3l priv
[20:21] <vee> Chaos2358: Thank u very much
[20:22] <acicula> dazappa: its easier to just create a root filesystem sufficiently large, like 20Gb
[20:22] <cesurasean> Error: mail_executable: Can't use /usr/lib/dovecot/imap: No such file or directory   - how do i fix this?
[20:22] <Dev^Null> no space between / and ignore though
[20:22] <Anand> dazappa, goto diskmanagment and shrink volume
[20:22] <Chaos2358> xangua man it just gets on my nerves i researhed and researched, i went to the dedicated chanel which is empty and then come here and have to deal with hall monitors
[20:22] <prov> acicula: 2.6.32-25-generic
[20:22] <dazappa> acicula: that's the problem, the system volume only has 10gb left, thanks to Windows, and I'd like to have at least 50gb of breathing room
[20:22] <guntbert> kibibyte: #ubuntu-devel - but be advised that you should be polite there too
[20:22] <dazappa> volume -> partition
[20:23] <acicula> prov: what crypto setup are you using?
[20:23] <cesurasean> nevermind. it seems i needed dovecot-imapd
[20:23] <prov> acicula: how can I check that
[20:23] <Chaos2358> vee no prob
[20:23] <acicula> dazappa: well i wont say 10GB is not enough but its pretty tight
[20:23] <Dev^Null> Hey all I have a disk image of ubuntu 9.10 that I replicate to about 500 different machines. I am having an issue with the 70-persistent-net.rules becuaes it wants to name the nic based of the mac address while this changes with each machine.

[20:23] <blacktooth> Is there any better alternative to nm-applet..It gives me SEGFAULT when i connect to my ad-hoc connection..
[20:23] <monofonik> hey, i've got the latest flash and chromium builds... and whenever i full screen flash videos, the video locks up, but sound continues. how can i fix it? i've tried reinstalling flash
[20:23] <acicula> prov: you said you were using some form of crypto right?
[20:23] <prov> acicula: yes
[20:24] <acicula> dazappa: anyway "apps" reside mostly under /usr, there is little to be gained on a desktop by separating that
[20:24] <guntbert> Dev^Null: if you don't get answers here try #ubuntu-server
[20:24] <xangua> monofonik: normally flash sucks in linux, using 64bit plugin¿ even more
[20:24] <acicula> and for things like burning dvd's you'll want a sufficiently large free disk buffer
[20:24] <acicula> prov: so what did you do to enable encryption
[20:24] <Kaffien> when will 10.10 be released?  also can i upgrade from 10.10 RC to  full easily?
[20:24] <c3l> Chaos2358: it's not our problem that the support channel that is unrelated to ubuntu is empty. I see they have a mailing list, I suggest you try here http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=10706
[20:24] <b_> monofonik, i have the same
[20:24] <xangua> Kaffien: 10-10-10
[20:24] <acicula> Kaffien: dunno and yes
[20:24] <blacktooth> Is there any better alternative to nm-applet..It gives me SEGFAULT when i connect to my ad-hoc connection..
[20:24] <Pici> Kaffien : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Maverick/10.10 support/discussion.
[20:25] <prov> acicula: I used ubuntu alternative install.
[20:25] <acicula> blacktooth: there are some alternatives to networmanager/nm-applet
[20:25] <Jinxed-> were is the setting where you can define which mac addresses are assoicated with specific eth
