[16:29] <nokia_> you can add user with admin rights. no harm
[16:29] <yofel> pop2: oh, didn't read the full backlog ^^
[16:29] <Pici> !who
[16:30] <yofel> nokia_: yes, as I said
[16:30] <Urda> skrite99: is it something I can do in OpenSSH or a config?
[16:30] <Urda> so right now I have test:x:1002:1001::/store/sftp/test/incoming:/bin/false but when you use the sftp command to conenct they are still in / as their pwd
[16:30] <yofel> nokia_: do you have your qt error in a pastebin now?
[16:30] <oal> Does anyone know how to use a Wacom with dual monitors? A circle isn't a circle, it's an eclipse
[16:30] <pop2> is deleting .ICEauthority okay
[16:30] <rocket16> Hm, I started the Chess Server, and now it might be running, because my System is slow. I closed the terminal though. :(
[16:30] <nokia_> ya want to see it.
[16:31] <honza> hello guys, I'm really stuck, I created a new user in my 9.10 ubuntu, when I try to run e.g. xlock or xterm I get an error: No protocol specified .... any suggestions? I tried exporting DISPLAY as member:localhost and other ip's to no avail ....any idea is welcome
[16:31] <yofel> nokia_: well, that's why you came here, wasn't it?
[16:31] <Urda> skrite99: got it, I had to do a home dir Relative to jail
[16:31] <justdave> Urda: look into a package called 'scponly'
[16:31] <yofel> nokia_: and floodbot cut you off when you pasted it so you don't spam the channel
[16:31] <Urda> skrite99: /incoming
[16:31] <justdave> Urda: it'll probably do what you want
[16:31] <Urda> justdave: Already have a SFTP jail set up, with no scp on for users. Just got my home dir working
[16:32] <nokia_> the compilation error is
[16:32] <nokia_> make: g++ command not found
[16:32] <justdave> Urda: the name is slightly misleading these days, it's a little more flexible than just scp :)  it's a general chroot's restricted shell these days
[16:32] <justdave> er, chroot'd
[16:32] <axisys> looks like i am on a catch 22.. puppetmaster wont install w/o puppet-common and vice versa
[16:33] <Urda> justdave: oh but I just got openssh chroot to work perfectly :s
[16:33] <axisys> http://pastebin.com/fWq2U9YW
[16:33] <rocket16> What is the command to kill a local server? I started one with "java Chess 1234" command, and then killed the terminal to end it. Is it still running?
[16:33] <yofel> nokia_: please install 'build-essential'
[16:33] <jambul> кто-нибудь понимает русский? =)
[16:33] <yofel> nokia_: the c++ compiler isn't installed by default
[16:33] <dv_> hi, I have two keyboards attached to my pc
[16:34] <nokia_> what it does..
[16:34] <wad> Setting up some virtual Ubuntu machines. They need to be lightweight, just going to run some scripts and such. They do run X, unfortunately, though. How much RAM should we allocate to these virtual machines? How much RAM does Ubuntu need to work okay?
[16:34] <dv_> is it possible to use different keymaps for them?
[16:34] <dv_> one DE, one US
[16:34] <psusi> wad: why not get rid of x?
[16:34] <yofel> nokia_: it will install the minimum requirenments to build c++ source
[16:34] <nokia_> so what should i run the command on terminal
[16:34] <pop2> wad You're running GNOME on them?
[16:34] <yofel> nokia_: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[16:34] <wad> psusi: We're looking into that right now. But in the meantime... (Yes, pop2, Gnome)
[16:35] <yofel> nokia_: it will install a few other things too (g++ included)
[16:35] <pop2> wad In the meantime probably replace GNOME with openbox or something, lol
[16:35] <psusi> wad: yea, I'd say install server edition without x if you don't need desktop.... that will lower the footprint a good bit
[16:35] <pop2> wad if you're looking to minimize ram usage :)
[16:35] <wad> psusi, pop2, yes yes. We're working on that. But for now, it's a pre-packaged image that has gnome. How much RAM, would you estimate?
[16:36] <psusi> wad: but for desktop you really want at least 512 megs
[16:36] <nick2> Hello people, i need to restore the content of my /var/lib/dpkg/infos folder... is there a way to regenerate this metadata?
[16:36] <runarfreyr> Anyone who might possibly help me out, ? Desperate for assistance, trying to set up a file server in ubuntu 9,10. I can share the EXT4 file system using samba without problems and other windows machines can identify it but when I try to share another hd (even tried converting the fs from ntfs to fat32) the windows machine cant access :--/. It can see the share but not access it
[16:36] <wad> Okay, 512. Thanks psusi!
[16:36] <psusi> nick2: yea, reinstall ;)
[16:36] <nick2> psusi thanks anyway :)
[16:37] <yofel> nick2: how did you loose it? and yes, you'll have to reinstall I fear
[16:37] <pop2> wad I just read it can run on 64mb (LOL) but 384 is a comfortable minimum
[16:37] <nick2> yofel: by accident, and to be precise. it wasn me but a coworker
[16:37] <nick2> yofel: :)
[16:37] <pop2> wad especially if you aren't doing much graphically
[16:38] <wad> pop2, okay, we'll go with 384 then. Thanks!
[16:38] <pop2> =D
[16:38] <psusi> runarfreyr: fat/ntfs fake the permissions so all the files appear owned by one person and are only accessible to them... usually that is the logged in desktop user... that's a problem for samba
[16:39] <runarfreyr> psusi: So your saying theres no way to share these files on a local network with anymous access? :(
[16:39] <runarfreyr> anonymous
[16:39] <pop2> #xubuntu is still dead. Does anyone have any idea what user settings/files might cause X to be weird/kill xfce?
[16:39] <psusi> runarfreyr: you can change the permissions when you mount the drive to allow everyone access
[16:39] <barrando> anyone knows why my battery's discharging when my acadapter's online? NOW!!
[16:40] <skinnypup> Does anyone know the name of the USB installer? Mythbuntu for some reason left it out of the menu.
[16:40] <skinnypup> http://www.pendrivelinux.com/create-a-ubuntu-9-10-live-usb-from-cd/
[16:40] <runarfreyr> psusi. Can you instruct me how to automount it on start with these permissions?
[16:41] <psusi> runarfreyr: add a line to your /etc/fstab to describe the mount, and you want to use the umask=000 mount option... should be some examples on the wiki if you search for umask
[16:41] <nokia_> thanx  yofel i's working :)
[16:41] <runarfreyr> thank you psusi. I will try that
[16:41] <geekphreak> brb
[16:42] <runarfreyr> :)
[16:42] <skinnypup> Someone here has 9.10 i know, could you please launch the usb boot disk creator and see what process it is? Mythbuntu left the usb installer out for some reason.
[16:42] <skinnypup> http://www.pendrivelinux.com/create-a-ubuntu-9-10-live-usb-from-cd/
[16:44] <pop2> skinnypup: usb-creator-gtk
[16:45] <pop2> skinnypup: and the other packages are usb-creator, usb-creator-common :)
[16:46] <skinnypup> pop2 thanks a ton man!
[16:46] <pop2> skinnypup:  :)
[16:46] <Vigo> skinnypup: Have you tried the Mythbuntu on an existing Ubuntu?
[16:47] <skinnypup> That box has 9.04 mythbuntu on it now and wanting to try out the 0.22 mythtv before commiting to change
[16:47] <skinnypup> Seemed to be the easiest way
[16:48] <geekphreak> pop2 welcome back
[16:48] <Vigo> skinnypup: I just read at the Mythbuntu site, oh heck, here it is: >http://www.mythbuntu.org/existing-ubuntu
[16:48] <pop2> yay
[16:49] <skinnypup> Cool just that i don't have a 9.10 install on that box at the moment and don't want to bork my working 9.04 myth 0.21 setup that is on it
[16:50] <skinnypup> Thank you all though :)

[17:36] <sqwertle> I removed ubuntu the other day to free up hard drive space on my desktop (I never seem to use ubuntu on it) and I seem to have messed up grub in the process. I'm no longer capable of booting any OS :(
[17:36] <codeshah> how do I reattach to a disowned process? I want to see its output etc :(
[17:36] <Dr_Willis> sqwertle:  reinstall the windows bootloader.
[17:36] <Dr_Willis> sqwertle:  you removed all the grub config and other files when you removed linux.
[17:37] <Jadoza> Isn't there a grub bootdisc for these purposes?
[17:37] <sqwertle> Dr_Willis: how might i go about that? I figured that was what had happened :(
[17:37] <sqwertle> Jadoza: I don't know =/
[17:37] <Dr_Willis> sqwertle:  totally depends on your windows version. #windows may also know more.
[17:37] <sqwertle> is there a way to do it from ubuntu livecd?
[17:37] <Jadoza> I remember when windows removed the Truecrypt-bootloader, thinking it was a virus. Thank f*ck I had saved the truecrypt resuce disk
[17:38] <Dr_Willis> I always just boot one of my windows cd's and use the tools on it.
[17:38] <Trek> !language | Jadoza (I assume you used the F word)
[17:39] <deostroll> hi "ooffice -writer" fires up open office's writer program...is there anyway I can simply type "writer" in the shell and have the same program executed?

[17:41] <seyfarth> strange question: running ubuntu server without x. there a way to increase the resolution?
[17:41] <Myrtti> napster: then it's probably shift too
[17:41] <theadmin> napster: Take Lucid questions to #ubuntu+1
[17:41] <k0nata> petar tried other terminals like konsole or urxvt?
[17:41] <Trek> !lucid | napster

[17:45] <petar_> theadmin: .bashrc stuff.. what should i look for?
[17:45] <rhinorrhea> k0nata: i couldn't find it.
[17:45] <o-brown> When I put the card in, nothing happens
[17:45] <k0nata> rhinorrhea google?
[17:45] <rhinorrhea> looked.
[17:45] <Oer> deostroll, iḿ not shure howto make a symbolic link
[17:45] <Jadoza> rhinorrhea, Checked /bin?
[17:45] <theadmin> petar_: Could you pastebin it for me? Most likely the problem is somewhere there since root terms work fine
[17:45] <k0nata> o-brown is there something in /dev?
[17:45] <theadmin> Oer: ln -s source target
[17:45] <fredfall> What port is FTP on?
[17:46] <rhinorrhea>  /bin? shouldn't it be in /etc?
[17:46] <nevoeiro> hello. installed 10.04 beta 1 in my eeepc 1000he and at start everything was working fine. but now, after making the usual updates, can't connect to wireless. it's always asking for authentication and never connects... help? :(
[17:46] <o-brown> k0nata: one moment I check
[17:46] <Oer> thnx theadmin :-)
[17:46] <k0nata> fredfall port 20 i guess
[17:46] <theadmin> ubottu: lucid | nevoeiro
[17:46] <fredfall> ok, thanks
[17:46] <sipior> fredfall: "grep ftp /etc/services"
[17:46] <Jadoza> rhinorrhea, Depends on the application I guess. Plenty of applications are located in /bi
[17:46] <Jadoza> n*
[17:46] <o-brown> k0nata: do I check this when the card is in the slot ?
[17:46] <thevishy> can I install ubuntu via PXE ( pxe server is a windows machine  )  ------ uising a iso image
[17:46] <nevoeiro> yes, i know it's not stable.. it's beta. but still..
[17:46] <k0nata> o-brown yes
[17:46] <k0nata> o-brown unmounted filesystems are there
[17:47] <theadmin> nevoeiro: Point is, we don't support Lucid here, you need to join #ubuntu+1
[17:47] <nevoeiro> ok.
[17:47] <o-brown> k0nata: ok, in fact there are a lot of folders and files
[17:47] <fredfall> sipior, thanks!
[17:47] <nevoeiro> :)
[17:47] <k0nata> o-brown sorry, /dev/mapper
[17:47] <thevishy> can anyone help me with pxe INSTALLATION ?
[17:48] <theadmin> thevishy: Someone posted a link for that above, also, do not repeat your question too often
[17:48] <o-brown> k0nata: there is only one file in dev/mapper which is "control"
[17:49] <k0nata> o-brown do it in terminal with las
[17:49] <thevishy> theadmin i only posted that link because I dont have clarity on what is mentioned there
[17:49] <k0nata> o-brown *ls not las
[17:49] <o-brown> k0nata: ok one sec
[17:49] <petar_> theadmin: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/UBB9kS49
[17:49] <o-brown> k0nata: I should do it with sudo, right ?
[17:50] <k0nata> o-brown no, not sudo
[17:50] <o-brown> k0nata: ok
[17:50] <petar_> theadmin: i changed som stuff but not before it started respawning
[17:50] <Trek> is it possible to create a new thing in /dev/?
[17:50] <theadmin> petar_: Hm, strange, everything looks fine here. Sorry, no idea
[17:50] <Trek> such as /dev/oblivion?
[17:51] <theadmin> Trek: Point of that?
[17:51] <o-brown> k0nata: /dev/mapper$ ls   only returns me the same file "control"
[17:51] <petar_> theadmin: added [ ] in the ps1.. dunno if that can mess things up
[17:51] <Trek> theadmin: because I want to...?
[17:51] <theadmin> petar_: Might be
[17:51] <theadmin> Trek: Well, root can do anything :D
[17:51] <Trek> i'm looking for the commands tho
[17:51] <k0nata> o-brown there are all my partitions...
[17:51] <theadmin> Trek: "touch somefile" creates an empty file
[17:51] <petar_> theadmin: where can you set the size of the terminal?
[17:51] <yeiks> how do you convert a .tar.gz to .deb
[17:52] <k0nata> o-brown like swap, root and all
[17:52] <geekphreak> be right back
[17:52] <geekphreak> theadmin:  hi dude
[17:52] <k0nata> yeiks compile it
[17:52] <petar_> theadmin: some kind of config.. not the geometry parameter
[17:52] <yeiks> how do i do that
[17:52] <sipior> Trek: have a look at the "mknod" man page.
[17:52] <theadmin> geekphreak: Hiya. Know what, you always get my mood up :D Say hello randomly to me but don't go offtopic :D
[17:52] <andrew-> how do i mount an amazon s3 bucket to ubuntu?
[17:53] <theadmin> petar_: No idea :/
[17:53] <o-brown> k0nata: ok, so do you think ubuntu dosen't support my card reader ?
[17:53] <yeiks> k0nata how should i compile it
[17:53] <geekphreak> theadmin:  i do really :)
[17:53] <k0nata> o-brown i think it should work with every usb standard compatible card reader, did you checked it on windows?
[17:54] <theadmin> Is it safe to create a shortcut to something like "gksu gnome-terminal"?
[17:54] <k0nata> yeiks google for make and compiling on ubuntu
[17:54] <Dr_Willis> Ive had issues with built-in card readers on some laptops. but tose where not usiong the 'usb' connections
[17:54] <Trek> sipior: what type should I be looking at?  i'm not 100% sure what each type does
[17:54] <o-brown> k0nata: yes on windows it always worked properly
[17:54] <k0nata> theadmin i think there shouldnt be a problem
[17:54] <o-brown> k0nata: but my card reader is not an usb card reader, it's a built-in one
[17:55] <theadmin> k0nata: Thanks
[17:55] <k0nata> o-brown anyway your /dev/mapper seems awkward
[17:55] <sipior> Trek: if that's the case, playing around in /dev is ill-advised :-)
[17:55] <theadmin> k0nata: What's the problem? My one also has only 'control'
[17:55] <k0nata> o-brown its build in? sata or ide i think?
[17:55] <Dr_Willis> o-brown:  that can be a problem.  -  I had a laptop where only the sd slot worked.. but a release of ubuntu later it started working with the other slots as well.
[17:55] <Trek> sipior: true.  :P
[17:55] <Trek> sipior: is it possible to symlink, then, to /dev/null?
[17:55] <Dr_Willis> o-brown:  it can depend on what chipset thelaptop is using. I found it wasier to just track down a $5 usb multi-card reader to carry around
[17:56] <k0nata> theadmin maybe its because im using encrypted partitions with dm-crypt
[17:56] <Trek> sipior: so if I move something to that symlink, it sends it to /dev/null?
[17:56] <theadmin> Trek: actually, /dev should be managed only by udevd, nothing else. But as per symlinking to files in /dev it is no prob
[17:56] <sipior> Trek: try it and find out.
[17:56] <theadmin> k0nata: Ah yeah, dmcrypt/truecrypt do put stuff there
[17:56] <o-brown> Dr_Willis: yes I think that will be the best solution
[17:57] <o-brown> k0nata: ok thanks for the help
[17:58] <k0nata> o-brown youre welcome

[18:03] <progre55> hi people! I have troubles with microphone on my sony vaio nw21sf with karmic installed on it. Any hints, please?

[18:03] <theadmin> x11daniel: As in "\\\\"?
[18:03] <progre55> btw, karmic 64bit

[18:05] <theadmin> m3asmi: No idea what C app are you running, it would be different for each of them methinks.

[18:05] <Guest8148> geekphreak:  Thank you.
[18:05]  * theadmin wants mic help too. Ubuntu sees it perfectly but it totally ignores any input
[18:06] <Pici> m3asmi: Thats not really something we provide support for, and it sounds a bit suspicious as well.
[18:06] <geekphreak> theadmin: which sound card/
[18:06] <manhunter> what's the meaning of ubuntu?
[18:06] <theadmin> geekphreak: I believe "lspci | grep sound"?
[18:06] <geekphreak> Pici:  ok sorry i back out
[18:06] <fredfall> How do you add panel-applets in gnome-shell?
[18:06] <theadmin> manhunter: "Humanity"

[18:06] <manhunter> theadmin: which language word ?
[18:06] <m3asmi> so is impossibel ?
[18:07] <Pici> geekphreak: What?
[18:07] <theadmin> manhunter: Some south-african stuff, no idea
[18:07] <Pici> m3asmi: This is not a programming support channel, nor can we help you crack passwords.
[18:07] <theadmin> Pici: There was a person here who we helped with rarcrack, is that bad?
[18:07] <geekphreak> progre55:  kool
[18:08] <andai> For a shared partition (windows and ubuntu access) is NTFS a good idea (yet) ?
[18:08] <geekphreak> progre55:  can ya install qamix?
[18:08] <Guest8148> geekphreak:  Okay, I did that, but I am still getting this yellow box reprinting the subject when I mouseover it.
[18:08] <progre55> geekphreak: "00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)" and "01:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc R700 Audio Device [Radeon HD 4000 Series]", I believe the first one is responsible for the mic
[18:08] <progre55> geekphreak: and what's qamix?
[18:08] <theadmin> andai: NTFS is fine but 2 problems, 1) it considers all files executable, 2) it's kind of a slow
[18:08] <m3asmi> think :)
[18:08] <Pici> geekphreak: Hey, I'm not sure what you're talking about in #ubuntu, I didn't see anything from you to m3asmi.
[18:08] <Pici> oh, forgot the /msg
[18:08] <x11daniel> ubuntu has it's origin in the Bantu language
[18:08] <geekphreak> progre55: , its advance sound controller, trying to turn boost on mn
[18:09] <progre55> oh I see, sec
[18:09] <progre55> let me install ke
[18:09] <progre55> it*
[18:09] <geekphreak> Pici:  no worries
[18:09] <andai> theadmin What about the /home folder? that can't be on a FAT or NTFS partition can it?
[18:09] <Guest8148> geekphreak:  It is a wheat or light yellow box that blocks out your ability to type, and is really irksome.
[18:09] <theadmin> andai: It'd better not be o_O
[18:09] <x11daniel> "Humanity to others"
[18:09] <geekphreak> Guest8148:  ok 1 sec man
[18:10] <Pici> theadmin: It mostly depends on the context. This is 99% a programming question, otherwise, if it feels legally questionable, then its probably not fit for here.
[18:10] <sipior> m3asmi: have a look at the man page for "getpwent"; i think you'll see the problem. you'll need to do some reading about PAM.
[18:10] <theadmin> Pici: Thanks, i see
[18:10] <andai> theadmin: Could you replace the desktop/download/pictures folders with symlinks to their NTFS counterparts?
[18:10] <geekphreak> theadmin: which card you have?
[18:10] <progre55> geekphreak: I've installed it, but how do I use it now? )
[18:10] <Pici> theadmin: You can always pm an op or ask in -ops if you're not sure.
[18:11] <sipior> m3asmi: that's "Pluggable authentication modules", sorry.
[18:11] <m3asmi> getpwent ! ok I'm goint to find

[18:12] <progre55> geekphreak: yeah I've opened it, but now what I mean? )
[18:12] <nonameNN> andai: yes... dont worry... just create the links cut paste and replace them all... no problem

[18:27] <campee> TLF WHAT WILL WE DO?
[18:27] <geekphreak> h0dg3s: normally the package contains readme.txt , telling you howto do it
[18:27] <TLF> campee: I don't know :(
[18:27] <campee> TLF: did this start for you last night? who makes your sound card?
[18:27] <TLF> It's an HD sound card

[18:31] <jbwiv> guys, I'm experiencing pretty regular complete system freezes on Karmic. even the magic sysrq buttons will not work. I've run memtest for over 24 hours, and it found no errors. What should I look at next?

[18:31] <wactuary> trying to put a fresh install on a new AMD X4 based mobo and get an error on both 9.10 and 8.04b1 disks:  "ACPI: I/O resource piix4_smbus [0xb00-0xb07] conflicts with ACPI region SOR1 [0xb00-0xb0f]" and then a second error:  "shpchp 0000:00:01.0:  Cannot reserve MMIO region".  On 9.10 the same errors, but in opposite order.  I've tried shutting off ACPI in BIOS without help.  Tried using the boot options to disable ACPI as well.
[18:31] <CyberCrasher> ?
[18:31] <QueenZ> jbwiv: oh i see
[18:31] <CyberCrasher> ci sono italiani?
[18:31] <sipior> jbwiv: nothing dumped to logs?
[18:31] <wactuary> anythoughts on what might be going wrong?
[18:32] <jbwiv> sipior: nothing noticeable. which log? messages? syslog? dmesg?
[18:32] <geekphreak> goodnight people
[18:32] <jbwiv> I upgraded NVIDIA drivers, but still get the freeze
[18:32] <QueenZ> jbwiv: try passing a few parametrs to kernel on boot like nolapic apic=off and failsafe see if it helps
[18:32] <futei> anyone uses ubuntu server and YAMJ and has it working? im having abit of java problem
[18:32] <jbwiv> averaging around 3-4 reboots a day now
[18:32] <QueenZ> jbwiv: there's a glitch in kernel
[18:33] <TLF> campee: no idea
[18:33] <TLF> anyone here with problems in sound card????
[18:33] <jbwiv> QueenZ,  a known glitch
[18:33] <sipior> jbwiv: well, i was thinking syslog in and kern.log in particular. are you doing similar things when the crashes occur?
[18:34] <QueenZ> jbwiv: you can upgrade to a newer or older kernel version, it helped me (both newer and older worked)
[18:34] <jbwiv> sipior: no, completely random
[18:34] <andai> jbwiv: How do I pass parameters to the kernel?
[18:34] <QueenZ> andai: on grub press e
[18:34] <andai> jbwiv: What you just said solves that problem with the gfx (that can also be solved by removing ram right?)
[18:34] <jbwiv> QueenZ: i'm on the latest
[18:34] <andai> QueenZ: And add the params to the end of the line?
[18:34] <QueenZ> jbwiv: 33?
[18:34] <jbwiv> andai: i'm not sure I said anythign to you
[18:35] <QueenZ> andai: yes
[18:35] <ratdog> what directory would i find synaptic in so i can add to menu
[18:35] <jbwiv> QueenZ: no, Linux pdesk 2.6.31-20-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 12 04:38:19 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[18:35] <oal> Any password managers you guys could recommend?
[18:35] <andai> jbwiv: You didn't but i had a problem and the solution said to pass params to the kernel (to do with gfx and the amount of ram and some glitch in the kernel) and i didn't know how to do that :P
[18:35] <jbwiv> QueenZ, latest from Karmic apt though
[18:35] <sipior> oal: keepassx is first-rate.
[18:36] <oal> sipior: Secure?
[18:36] <QueenZ> jbwiv: i see, i would recommend installing an older version then, the one of 9.04 works
[18:36] <sipior> oal: i'm not sure how it would be first-rate otherwise...
[18:36] <oal> sipior: Haha, ok, I'll try it :)
[18:36] <QueenZ> jbwiv: how did you install 9.10? did you do a distro upgrade or a clean install?
[18:36] <|sqwertle|> how can I go about installing grub to be used for the mbr with a livecd?
[18:37] <esfahankids> hi how i can remember my password in irc?
[18:37] <jbwiv> QueenZ: clean install
[18:37] <shadowling> Hello, I am trying to change my domain name and host name in Ubuntu 9.10. The Network Manager looks different that I am used to. There doesn't seem to be an easy way to change them.
[18:37] <QueenZ> jbwiv: so you don't have an older kernel to choose from...
[18:37] <andai> esfahankids: in Pidgin?'
[18:37] <jbwiv> QueenZ, actually re-installed a few days ago, because I was trying to solve this issue by upgrading to Lucid beta, but had issues
[18:38] <jbwiv> QueenZ: no, but of course I could probably install an older version
[18:38] <thevishy> can we use the iso image to pxe install ?
[18:38] <jbwiv> however, it was happening on the older kernels too
[18:38] <jbwiv> QueenZ, memtest86 doesn't find any issue with the ram
[18:38] <jbwiv> so I'm left wondering what to hit next
[18:38] <QueenZ> jbwiv: if you don't know how to install an older version of kernel you can install 9.04 and do a distro upgrade, then choose an older kernel from the grub menu
[18:39] <|sqwertle|> I removed ubuntu from my machine yesterday and lost grub, and have no way to boot windows again. How can I recover grub without installing ubuntu so that I may boot with windows?
[18:39] <jbwiv> I wonder if Canonical's support would help tracing down issues like this...I'm willing to pay to have it resolved
[18:39] <esfahankids> andai: no - by what commad?
[18:39] <jbwiv> QueenZ, it happened in the older kernels, so that probably won't help
[18:39] <campee> TLF: yesterday i tried enabling a sound card in my vmware workstation windows xp vm. i wonder if that had something to do with it. do you use vmware workstation?
[18:39] <andai> esfahankids: dunno I use pidgin :P
[18:40] <ratdog> hello, how can i start synaptic from run with admiistrative privilages.?
[18:40] <QueenZ> |sqwertle|: what version of windows do you have?
[18:40] <|sqwertle|> QueenZ: 9.10
[18:40] <TLF> campee: yes, but no when this problem came
[18:40] <QueenZ> |sqwertle|: windows?
[18:40] <|sqwertle|> QueenZ: XP
[18:40] <esfahankids> andai: i use pidgin too but i forget password of my irc account
[18:40] <QueenZ> |sqwertle|: do you have the installation cd?
[18:40] <thevishy0> hi
[18:40] <jbwiv> anyone every worked with Canonical's support staff?
[18:40] <campee> TLF: interesting. that's something we have in common then..
[18:40] <jbwiv> paid support staff?
[18:40] <thevishy0> can we use iso to install via PXE
[18:40] <|sqwertle|> QueenZ: All of the installation cd's ive tried are bosding and wont let me access the recovery console for fixmbr fixboot
[18:41] <campee> i renamed the vmware init script in /etc/init.d so it didn't load at startup and i still have the issue though

[18:46] <campee> TLF: i get a graphical mixer window. all levels are at 100%
[18:46] <TLF> campee: ok, press "q" to quit

[18:46] <TLF> campee: and now restart your mp3 player
[18:47] <campee> does not work
[18:47] <QueenZ> |sqwertle|: did you sudo mount?
[18:47] <|sqwertle|> Yes
[18:48] <QueenZ> |sqwertle|: what error did you get?
[18:48] <|sqwertle|> wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1,
[18:48] <campee> i can test my audio and not get an error message in preferences/sound now though. but no sound comes out
[18:48] <|sqwertle|>        missing codepage or helper program, or other error

[18:50] <shadowling> Anyone know how to check what my current Domain Name is?
[18:50] <campee> "hostname"
[18:50] <QueenZ> |sqwertle|: what did you mount command look like?
[18:50] <|sqwertle|> QueenZ: (sudo su) mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt/root
[18:50] <shadowling> hostname just shows me the name of my host.
[18:50] <KenBW2> is quitting an svn commit half way through likely to cause problems?
[18:50] <campee> what do you mean by your domain name?
[18:51] <campee> if you have configured your host with a fully qualified domain name then you will see the host + domain
[18:51] <thevishy> has anyone install ubuntu from iso via PXE from a windows based server ?
[18:51] <QueenZ> |sqwertle|: mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/root (make sure you mkdir /mnt/root first)
[18:51] <campee> if you mean your DNS suffix list, you can cat /etc/resolv.conf
[18:51] <h0dg3s> thevishy: I don't think you can do it from ISO, I think it needs to be mounted to NFS
[18:51] <shadowling> I miss my old Network Manager. hehe.
[18:51] <|sqwertle|> QueenZ: you must specify the filesystem type
[18:52] <QueenZ> not necceserily
[18:52] <shadowling> Under that it was just in general or something and I could change the Domain.
[18:52] <|sqwertle|> QueenZ: thats the error it gave me =/
[18:52] <petar_> pls help my terminal is broken
[18:52] <shadowling> With Ubuntu 9.10 I can't do that anymore 'cause that app isn't installed or something.
[18:52] <geowany> What do you think about 10.04?
[18:53] <Coded1> is there a pre-packaged control center app for ATI drivers?  I can get it from their website but I don't want it to screw with the ubuntu packaged ones installed already
[18:53] <campee> i think setting your domain name is just a matter of configuring your DNS suffix search list. you can add that to /etc/resolv.conf
[18:53] <Pici> geowany: I think that the 10.04 discussion/support channel is #ubuntu+1
[18:53] <Pici> !hostname | shadowling
[18:53] <campee> TLF: padevchoose just hangs when i try to run it as myself or using sudo, heh
[18:53] <TLF> oh :(

[18:54] <geowany> Pici: thanks!
[18:54] <jbwiv> is there a tool out there (aside from memtest86) that helps find hardware issues? What could the possibilties be? CPU? Gfx card?

[18:56] <shadowling> I just want it to show me what my domain name is to make sure that I did it right. hehe.
[18:56] <Pici> jbwiv: You didn't specify. I was just talking about a tool that could find hardware issues.
[18:56] <Zamolxe> erUSUL: installed ubuntu server, i've chosen a user, a password. after install,reboot, when i enter my username at the console with the password it just fails
[18:56] <shadowling> I type in hostname it shows me.

[18:57] <erUSUL> !lostpassword | Zamolxe

[18:57] <Zamolxe> erUSUL:  how can i reset it? i'm at the boot screen
[18:58] <QueenZ> |sqwertle|: try adding it to fstab
[18:58] <erUSUL> Zamolxe: read the link ubottu gave you
[18:58] <|sqwertle|> QueenZ: fstab?
[18:58] <QueenZ> |sqwertle|: /dev/sda1              /mnt/root              ext2fs      rw,late         0       2
[18:58] <QueenZ> |sqwertle|: /etc/fstab
[18:58] <erUSUL> Zamolxe: the lostpassword one
[18:58] <Zamolxe> erUSUL: i've read it.i don't seem to have a grub prompt
[18:58] <Zamolxe> erUSUL: i'll restart
[18:59] <QueenZ> |sqwertle|: file system table
[18:59] <erUSUL> Zamolxe: press "shift" during boot to make it appear
[18:59] <Zamolxe> erUSUL:  i see
[18:59] <|sqwertle|> QueenZ: do i add the entire /dev/sda /mnt... line?
[18:59] <QueenZ> |sqwertle|: yes
[19:00] <shadowling> Hmm....., looks like dnsdomainname was the command I was looking for. I think I have it setup now.
[19:00] <shadowling> Thanks. :-)
[19:00] <dmarkey> where can i get the lucid kernel package(off a webserver) sorry i have no idea how the archive directory structure works
[19:01] <Pici> dmarkey: See http://packages.ubuntu.com
[19:01] <|sqwertle|> QueenZ: still getting unknown filesystem type for "mount -t ext2fs /dev/sda1 /mnt/root"
[19:01] <Zamolxe> erUSUL: did it. thanks!
[19:01] <erUSUL> Zamolxe: no problem
[19:02] <dmarkey> Pici: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/kernel/ doesnt contain the kernel package
[19:02] <erUSUL> |sqwertle|: again drop the "fs" part it is just ext2
[19:02] <john>  heyy
[19:02] <|sqwertle|> erUSUL: that just gives me the original bad fs error
[19:02] <QueenZ> |sqwertle|: /dev/sda1 /mnt/root ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
[19:02] <Edward123> could it be that this is just a known issue which hasn't been fixed? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vlc/+bug/428884
[19:03] <|sqwertle|> QueenZ: is that to be added to fstab?
[19:03] <Pici> dmarkey: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/linux-image does
[19:03] <QueenZ> |sqwertle|: replace it the one you just added with that
[19:03] <h0dg3s> how do I call a shell script from another shell script?  kind of like CALL in DOS
[19:03] <QueenZ> |sqwertle|: that was from bsd..

[19:04] <Pici> ubuntu: #ubuntu-bugs or #ubuntu+1 would be better for that
[19:04] <tHW> Pici: English, Swedish, Spanish or German
[19:05] <|sqwertle|> QueenZ: oh dear.... umm... how might i see if sda1 is correct?
[19:05] <tHW> What do you recommend
[19:05] <Pici> tHW: What programming language?
[19:05] <grommit> I went to log into my EMC motherboard today and the display is all hosed.  I can get it into 800x600 (should be 1024x768) but it is all yellow on top of being too small.  I tried another monitor so it must be some config parameter in Ubuntu, but I have played with everything I could find and can't get it to work.   C is the programming language
[19:05] <QueenZ> |sqwertle|: so it's ntfs
[19:05] <toniperoni> hello, how do i get tv output in ubuntu...?? help
[19:06] <QueenZ> |sqwertle|: problem solved :)
[19:06] <Pici> tHW: Try ##C, but you may need to register to nickserv to join.
[19:06] <|sqwertle|> should i do "mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/root?
[19:06] <tHW> pici: I'll try ##programming
[19:06] <QueenZ> |sqwertle|: yes but first change fstab again

[19:10] <QueenZ> |sqwertle|: does your windows partition work?
[19:11] <Pici> grommit: Its been a while, but try: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -p high
[19:11] <|sqwertle|> QueenZ: last time i used it yes, the only trouble with it that i have had happened when i formatted ubuntu and expanded the windows volume to the space ubuntu had been using. after the reboot it had lost grub
[19:12] <jbwiv> anyone used Canonical's support service before?
[19:12] <|sqwertle|> QueenZ: is it possible that grub would be automatically configured if i just installed ubuntu?
[19:12] <QueenZ> |sqwertle|: the thing is that the next time you would boot windows it would do a partition scan/test, and you would need to do a clean shutdown
[19:13] <grommit> Pici: I got a warning about overwirting config (fine), then:  "FATAL: Module battery not found."   ?????
[19:13] <Pici> grommit: er, thats weird.
[19:13] <QueenZ> |sqwertle|: it would
[19:13] <QueenZ> |sqwertle|: but you didn't want to install ubuntu
[19:13] <QueenZ> |sqwertle|: that would be the easy way
[19:13] <pingvinqq> anybody knows how i make a .sh file.. when i just can doubble click on it, and then it open?

[19:14] <|sqwertle|> QueenZ: thanks for the help
[19:14] <grommit> It is on an Intel Atom MB

[19:16] <Tsumugi> stupid question -- how do i make it so that sshd or other daemons will start automatically?  there are /etc/init.d/ scripts, and links to them in /etc/rc#.d/, but no luck
[19:17] <lampliter> any ideas why?
[19:19] <Pici> grommit: It looks like that bug was fixed, see https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/netbook-remix/+bug/299686 , but it may just be in more recent versions of Ubuntu/oxrg

[19:21] <peterPPP> After I update resolv.conf with new nameserver, do I need to restart anything to make the changes work?
[19:21] <Runeg> peterPPP, sudo newaliases
[19:21] <progre55> peterPPP: networking
[19:21] <grommit> Pici:  I don't see links to the fix in that link.  Do you know how I would fix it?
[19:21] <Neo--> guys, do I correctly recall than at first boot after installation, ubuntu does not present a user with notification of what is new in this release or shows him/suggest where to configure wifi, mail, etc. ?
[19:21] <Runeg> peterPPP, nix the newaliases, that's a mail thing.
[19:22] <raboof> does ubuntu also offer cd/dvd (image) sets which include universe and multiverse, so you won't need an internet connection and still have access to all the packages you'd want?
[19:22] <peterPPP> So do I need to restart networking?
[19:22] <Runeg> Yep
[19:23] <Pici> grommit: I don't.  That was just from googling your error message, I admit I didn't look much further than that.
[19:23] <progre55> peterPPP: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

[19:24] <Runeg> Pici, Any idea why 7.x isn't listed on that releases page?
[19:25] <Pici> Runeg: Because 7.04 and 7.10 are both EOL.
[19:25] <Masteredu> EOL?
[19:25] <Runeg> jessyroo, #windows might help
[19:25] <Pici> !EOL | Masteredu
[19:25] <Runeg> Hm.
[19:26] <Runeg> I ask 'cause there are some KDE screensavers on 7.x series that I love, hah.

[19:27] <h0dg3s> trying to run a bash script but it keeps saying permission denied
[19:27] <jrib> h0dg3s: what bash script?
[19:27] <Masteredu> h0dg3s: you have to do chmod +x NAME on it
[19:28] <progre55> tobiash: try compiz fusion icon
[19:28] <Masteredu> h0dg3s: Then you give the rights to execute it
[19:28] <progre55> tobiash: apt-get install fusion-icon
[19:28] <raboof> Pici: thanks
[19:28] <tobiash> progre55 I've got it, but it logs in with metacity always
[19:28] <h0dg3s> Masteredu: Thanks
[19:28] <Am4no_> tobaish.why dont u use compiz instead. it can do taskbar previews
[19:28] <tobiash> kwin is marked as enabled, but metacity is running anyway
[19:28] <Masteredu> h0dg3s: youre welcome
[19:29] <ratdog> what directory can i fined installed apps?
[19:29] <tobiash> compiz is not stable, and has problems with games
[19:29] <Masteredu> tobiash: try killall metacity && kwin --replace in a terminal, and then make for this an entry in the autostart list.
[19:29] <tobiash> kwin is more mature than compiz
[19:29] <progre55> tobiash: hmm.. did you try running fusion-icon and changing the windows manager from it?
[19:29] <ratdog> so disable compix wjile playing?
[19:29] <ratdog> z
[19:29] <tobiash> progre55 read what I've wrote

[19:33] <h0dg3s> *chromiumos
[19:34] <erUSUL> brontos: ook... then there is a problem :) . bad disk or amother filesystem error; sometimes a fsck frees up the space
[19:34] <progre55> so, I manually compiled the alsa driver and now my volume control does not have any effect on the volume. even if I mute it. btw, karmic 64bit. any suggestions, please?
[19:34] <erUSUL> brontos: dunno if you can afford a fsck on the machine
[19:34] <Masteredu> h0dg3s: when it says that a directory is  not found, the path is wrong
[19:34] <^paradox^> jrib: i dont think he was using archive manager
[19:34] <Masteredu> h0dg3s: in the script
[19:34] <kazaa_lite> Masteredu: this is what I mentioned.... it gives 2.6.31-20-generic x86_64... does that mean it is non-PAE kernel?
[19:34] <h0dg3s> I think I put too much crap in one line.  It looked right in notepad++ but in gedit it's multiple lines
[19:34] <^paradox^> i think he was windows or mac
[19:35] <tobi__> Masteredu it works but I need to restart kwin from fusion icon anyway because, there is no window decoration :/
[19:35] <erUSUL> kazaa_lite: it is 64 bits ; there is no need for pae
[19:35] <tobi__> Masteredu at the start
[19:35] <Masteredu> kazaa_lite: is PAE standard included?
[19:35] <kazaa_lite> erUSUL: so PAE is issue of 32-bit and non 64-bit?
[19:36] <Masteredu> tobi: then you can maybe make before this an entry for fusion icon in the autostart list ?
[19:36] <M4rotku> hey guys, is it possible to mount an external hard drive (or any drive) via command line without using sudo?  I don't want to use sudo b/c I don't want to mess up the permissions
[19:36] <erUSUL> kazaa_lite: yes
[19:36] <kazaa_lite> erUSUL: cool:D
[19:36] <jrib> ^paradox^: you should verify with a third-party
[19:36] <^paradox^> jrib: i forgot others have successfully opened unprotected zips of mine if it matters
[19:36] <jerry416> this terminal stuff is cool, it says i can set hardware modes.
[19:36] <erUSUL> M4rotku: you can use "devkit-disks --mount /dev/sdxx"
[19:36] <h0dg3s> Masteredu: Does that mean I should have something other than #!/bin/bash at the top?
[19:37] <Masteredu> M4rotku: mounting is allways posible as root
[19:37] <jrib> ^paradox^: I would give the same file to someone else and see if it works for them.  Also, have this user check the md5sum
[19:37] <tobi__> Masteredu it works fine except for title bar not being shown xD I need to restart kwin from fusion icon every time :/
[19:37] <^paradox^> jrib: i would if any my friends were on
[19:38] <thevishy> hi friends , i have setup a machine as PXE server ... ( windows ) ....but i dont want a net install - i have a iso file
[19:38] <thevishy> please someone enlighten how I can achieve this
[19:38] <Masteredu> h0dg3s: #! /bin/bash is right, but i use a space for this , i mean between ! and the /
[19:39] <Masteredu> h0dg3s: jeah it is right
[19:39] <h0dg3s> still doesn't find it :(
[19:39] <Masteredu> h0dg3s: it must an other thing be
[19:39] <Moral_> I need to bind a proxy so nslookup can use it, how would I go about doing so?
[19:39] <Masteredu> h0dg3s: use pastebin
[19:39] <M4rotku> thanks erUSUL
[19:39] <erUSUL> M4rotku: no problem
[19:39] <Masteredu> h0dg3s: to post your script
[19:40] <^paradox^> jrib: the archive was created on my external hard drive and uploaded to a file host from there. would that make any difference?
[19:40] <jrib> h0dg3s: and what exactly you are typing when you try to run it
[19:40] <jrib> ^paradox^: nope
[19:41] <jrib> ^paradox^: does the md5sum he gave you match yours?
[19:41] <Masteredu> h0dg3s: the standard syntax is ./NAME , but only when you are in the right directory
[19:41] <h0dg3s> Mastredu: http://pastebin.com/puqDyGYK

[20:21] <dotblank> How much data can A fifo file hold?
[20:21] <switch10_> Pirate_Hunter: it does that as well.
[20:22] <erUSUL> dotblank: a fifo file holds no data ... it passes it around just like a pipe in shell
[20:22] <switch10_> Pirate_Hunter: or just put the output of wget to a log file..
[20:22] <erUSUL> dotblank: if you ask the buffer size of a fifo file in linux... i dunno
[20:23] <dotblank> erUSUL, Ok if I cat file > fifo and then use mplayer where it slowly reads the fifo file into a buffer
[20:23] <exand> ciao
[20:23] <dotblank> cat wont finish until the entire file is catted right?
[20:23] <[Screamo]> Can anyone help me set up an Eggdrop bot?
[20:23] <erUSUL> dotblank: i think that cat will block when the buffer is full untill the reader makes room (by reading from the buffer)
[20:24] <jrib> [Screamo]: install eggdrop from the repositories.  Then read its documentation or try #eggdrop for configuration help
[20:24] <dotblank> thanks.. This behaviour is absolutely perfect for me needs
[20:24] <[Screamo]> yea im getting the tcl error
[20:24] <[Screamo]> i cant find the files it needs, but i know its installed :|
[20:24] <kcantin> Ok, sounds like no one is farmilliar with my issue.

[20:27] <thevishy9> during pxe install it asks for archive ... i need to give local archive on my own apache
[20:27] <progre55> how come my firefox has sound, but mplayer does not..
[20:28] <alonea> progre55: missing codecs maybe? is all the ffmpeg stuff installed?
[20:28] <erUSUL> progre55: try « mplayer -o pulse file »
[20:29] <thevishy9> where is the release file in ubuntu archive
[20:30] <Masteredu> the release is written on the website or?
[20:30] <progre55> erUSUL: Option -o has been renamed to -vo (video-out), use -vo
[20:31] <Masteredu> erUSUL: and -ao is for audio-out :)
[20:31] <erUSUL> progre55: -ao (audio output)
[20:31] <progre55> alonea: it was not installed
[20:31] <erUSUL> progre55: sorry typo
[20:31] <Masteredu> :) first :D
[20:31] <grendal_prime> ok got moblin off the system from what i can tell..but damn i still just have this white screen...the gnome services are running but i can see whats going on..what would be missing from gnome that would cause that?
[20:32] <progre55> erUSUL: Selected audio codec: [mp3] afm: mp3lib (mp3lib MPEG layer-2, layer-3)
[20:32] <progre55> it seems to play the file, but no sound
[20:32] <progre55> even after installing ffmpeg
[20:32] <erUSUL> progre55: check the volume settings ? maybe mplayer is silenced?
[20:32] <Masteredu> grendal_prime: you mean you dont even see one menu?
[20:33] <alonea> progre55: try that. I generally don't want a lot of videos on my nix machine, but codecs tend to be an issue. What kind of file is it? and check if itsd silenced of course
[20:33] <erUSUL> progre55: pulse has per app volume and all that fancy stuff
[20:33] <grendal_prime> exactly
[20:33] <Masteredu> grendal_prime: then it is maybe a X-Server or X.org problem
[20:33] <Masteredu> grendal_prime: X.org i think
[20:33] <grendal_prime> nothing just white. and a mouse cursor..now the pacage upgrade app runs fine. If i put in a usb stick the nautilus window opens up.
[20:34] <jairo> hello
[20:34] <progre55> erUSUL: how do I check the "per app" sound?
[20:34] <grendal_prime> its like the window manager is just not there..or the taskbar, or the walpaper...
[20:34] <Masteredu> grendal_prime: lol , mysterious . do you tried to reconfigure gnome, or the gnome-panel ?
[20:34] <gluonman> How do I use 'cat' to replace all instances of a word in a textfile with another word?
[20:34] <erUSUL> progre55: right click on the volume icon in the panel Sound preferences
[20:34] <grendal_prime> i uninstalled moblin
[20:34] <jrib> gluonman: you don't use cat, use something like sed...
[20:34] <Masteredu> grendal_prime: Nautilus manages the background
[20:34] <erUSUL> gluonman: cat can not do that. use sed
[20:34] <grendal_prime> and installed the ubuntu desktop.
[20:35] <jairo> you are speak spanish?

[20:37] <grendal_prime> yep
[20:37] <wastrel> guntbert: already did!
[20:37] <Masteredu> grendal_prime: then gdm is allready started
[20:37] <grendal_prime> well like i say if something automated...like pluging in a usb stick...ya i know
[20:37] <Masteredu> grendal_prime: you can test it with top | grep gdm
[20:37] <BlaDe^> hi, PHP is unable to include files right now. Should I run apache as a different user or chmod differently? What is the recommended solution?
[20:37] <BlaDe^> I'm quite new to linux
[20:37] <Masteredu> grendal_prime: on the commandline
[20:37] <Godslastering> if i go to the network connections manager, click eth0, edit, then on ipv4 settings, click share with other computers...on the OTher computer, if i type dhclient, it SHOULD give me an ip, and connect me to the network correct?
[20:38] <grendal_prime> ya i can get to term and run i run htop to see whats going on.
[20:38] <[Screamo]> Godslastering it should
[20:39] <Godslastering> [Screamo]: it doesn't seem to be working..on the first computer i am getting internet via an internal wireless card, and i want to share to computer 2 thru ethernet...
[20:39] <[Screamo]> uhm
[20:39] <[Screamo]> when i do that, the second pc trys to use the fisr for DNS
[20:39] <[Screamo]> *first
[20:39] <[Screamo]> check the DNS settings
[20:39] <Godslastering> [Screamo]: well how should i set it up then?
[20:39] <grendal_prime> aaahhhhh i think its a compiz issue
[20:40] <grendal_prime> i dont think this thing supporst a compiz desktop
[20:40] <[Screamo]> Godslastering what OS is the second pc?
[20:40] <Godslastering> [Screamo]: newest debian release... can't remember exact version ;p
[20:41] <[Screamo]> Godslastering, go edit the connection settings on the 2nd pc, and add, <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS> as the dns servers
[20:41] <grendal_prime> nope that wasnt it
[20:42] <Godslastering> [Screamo]: mind helping me in pm? I'm not sure how to do what you just said ;p
[20:42] <soreau> grendal_prime: Can you pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log? white screen typically points to a driver problem
[20:42] <[Screamo]> lol

[20:44] <jcrawford> hey guys is there any obvious reason why Ubuntu's FireFox build would not open XML files like Firefox normally does?
[20:44] <jcrawford> When I open an XML file it all appears on one single line as it does when I view source
[20:44] <kusznir> Hi: I've got a 9.10 system that is used by multiple users.  Suddenly, a lot of users are not able to do basic things like open evince, or in one case, even log out doesn't work.  The only reasonable pointer so far is messages like: [ 2046.652980] type=1503 audit(1270669058.570:40): operation="open" pid=3348 parent=3322 profile="/usr/bin/evince" requested_mask="r::" denied_mask="r::" fsuid=11108 ouid=11108 name="/net/files/home/bthomas/.Xauthority"
[20:44] <xTheGoat121x> If I format with ext3 instead of ext4, will I notice a severe ding in my performance?
[20:44] <kusznir> The files in question do exist and are owned by the user...
[20:45] <Masteredu> xTheGoat121x: if you use SSD yes, with sata , not realy
[20:45] <xTheGoat121x> Masteredu, how about with a USB flash drive?
[20:46] <xTheGoat121x> Masteredu, b/c everytime I try to format it, ext4 reports a bad superblock when I try to mount it
[20:46] <Masteredu> xTheGoat121x: A little bit maybe. but i dont think that it makes a big deal. and why you not use FAT 32
[20:46] <Masteredu> xTheGoat121x: and what is with ext3?
[20:46] <aeon-ltd> xTheGoat121x: are you using ext4 on usb stick/ssd/flash mem.?
[20:46] <Masteredu> aeon-ltd: on usb-stick
[20:46]  * etsorbme8 is now known as etsorbme8
[20:47] <Darky> ubuntu ... on a stick
[20:47] <xTheGoat121x> aeon-ltd, I was hoping to but it's not cooperating
[20:47] <Masteredu> aeon-ltd: usb = flash
[20:47] <Pirate_Hunter> can anyone tell me who are they cheddar.halon.org.uk, which group this address belongs to and what they do?
[20:47] <aeon-ltd> xTheGoat121x: i wouldn't reccommend it due to journaling flash mem = limited writes
[20:47] <Masteredu> xTheGoat121x: you can use ext3. its not bad
[20:47] <aeon-ltd> xTheGoat121x: ext2 for long term ext4 for speed
[20:47] <Masteredu> xTheGoat121x: ext2 dont has journaling
[20:48] <Masteredu> "doesnt"
[20:48] <xTheGoat121x> aeon-ltd, I'm aware of that -- it's just b/c it's the drive I'm installing Ubuntu onto
[20:48] <Masteredu> xTheGoat121x: and like i asked before: why not FAT32?
[20:48] <xTheGoat121x> Masteredu, you can install Ubuntu onto a FAT32 partition?
[20:49] <Masteredu> xTheGoat121x: i think i saw it somewhere
[20:49] <KaOSoFt> Hmm... if I click the Places or Systems or Applications menu, and let the menu displayed, "Print Screen" command won't activate. In fact, even if I have something like a context menu (after right-click) active, it still won't work. Do you know if this can be suggested to be "fixed"?
[20:50] <grendal_prime> pretty sure its something to do with gnome setup
[20:50] <grendal_prime> desktop is just wonky..
[20:50] <Masteredu> xTheGoat121x: you can use it with fat32 , but it is not recommended
[20:50] <ubuntu> wicd 1.7.0 cannot read SSID properly but Ubuntu 9.10 Network Manager has no problem.  Any idea?
[20:50] <grendal_prime> applications that run ..look great.
[20:50] <soreau> grendal_prime: Can you pastebin your X log though?
[20:50] <grendal_prime> where?
[20:51] <soreau> grendal_prime: Or even the output of 'glxinfo|grep renderer'
[20:51] <stercor> What's the key combination to get a terminal session?  Like Alt-Fn or Ctrl-Fn or Alt-Ctrl-Fn?
[20:51] <Godslastering> ctrl-alt-f1
[20:51] <subone> I am trying to create a web control for operating my computer, however sometimes sendingh dbus-send messages crashes gnome-mplayer. How can I debug this/ figure out why gnome-mplayer closes suddenly?
[20:51] <Godslastering> stercor: ctrl-alt-f7 to get back your WM
[20:52] <Guest7726> Hello, I have a question.  I am on 9.10.  My computer keeps freezing and I have to do a hard shut down. Can anyone point me to the specific log file to figure out why this is happening?  I think it might have something to do with Adobe Flash.
[20:52] <soreau> subone: You can use a tool like gdb and attach it to the problem process to get a back trace
[20:52] <xTheGoat121x> Masteredu, yeah, i just found that
[20:52] <aeon-ltd> subone: what are you using now to control your computer? rdc/vnc?
[20:52] <xTheGoat121x> Masteredu, the more I read the more I think part of this is the flash drive I'm using
[20:52] <grendal_prime> interesting..i dont have an xorg.conf
[20:53] <Masteredu> xTheGoat121x: You know, WUBI, the ubuntu under windows project, uses to an NTFS partition, that is not fat32 but their both come from the same company
[20:53] <grendal_prime> im going to try a clean install...of 910
[20:53] <grendal_prime> i cot it on a usb stick
[20:53] <progre55> hi people! I've removed pulseaudio, and now gnome-volume-control is not running, with the following error "** (gnome-volume-control:5100): WARNING **: Connection failed, reconnecting..."
[20:53] <progre55> any suggestions please
[20:53] <joe__> hey guys.  Anyone up to troubleshooting?
[20:53] <Masteredu> xTheGoat121x: I think you should use your Usb stick with Fat32 . it works good with windows too
[20:53] <soreau> joe__: Nope. Just ask your question
[20:54] <ubuntu> wicd 1.7.0 cannot read dd-wrt SSID properly.  But Ubuntu 9.10 Network Manager has no problem.  Any idea?
[20:54] <joe__> OK.  Just an ole man of advanced age, trying linux instead of windows.  Hate MS
[20:54] <Masteredu> ubuntu: network Manager has a biger community?
[20:54] <joe__> Installed new printer, HP 6500 Wireless 709e
[20:55] <guntbert> !enter | joe__
[20:55] <Masteredu> ubuntu: and why you not use network manager
[20:55] <natrixnatrix> Is there a way I can make skype use grayscale video, when using webcam? not the ordinary with colors.
[20:55] <aeon-ltd> ubuntu: what does it show instead of the SSID
[20:55] <joe__> It works with the package that I downloaded from HP, but how do I make this wireless, which it is supposed to be
[20:55] <ubuntu> Masteredu: it is because I want to use Kubuntu and run wicd.
[20:56] <Edward123> hey chaps.... i've just upgraded to 9.10 and now my screensaver comes on during VLC fullscreen movie viewing? i've done a fair amount of googling but can't find any one consensus on howto solve the problem. the most likley looking solution has been to upgrade to vlc from a non-ubuntu repo?
[20:56] <Edward123> does it really have to come down to that or does anyone have a suggestion?
[20:56] <Masteredu> ubuntu: KDE has a network manager to
[20:56] <grendal_prime> this seems to be working just fine
[20:56] <grendal_prime> im gonna give it a try
[20:56] <natrixnatrix> Is there a way I can make skype use grayscale video, when using webcam? not the ordinary with colors.
[20:56] <Edward123> nobody else had issues with the screensaver coming on when watching movies in vlc, or indeed any other media player?
[20:57] <Masteredu> Edward123: Does it not give an option for that in the vlc you using at the moment
[20:57] <Edward123> Masteredu: there is an option, 'disable screensaver while playing' - no joy though, screensaver still comes on
[20:57] <natrixnatrix> Edward123: i use the inhibit applet
[20:57] <Masteredu> natrixnatrix: what pc specs you have
[20:57] <ubuntu> aeon-ltd: it shows 2 boxes with some 4 numeric characters inside.  something like a missing character to be displayed.
[20:57] <Masteredu> Edward123: why you not try the unofficial repo
[20:57] <Edward123> natrixnatrix: i tried apt-cache search inhibit, but no useful results?
[20:58] <natrixnatrix> Masteredu: I'm using v4l2, so when I launch skype i use that env .. command
[20:58] <aeon-ltd> ubuntu: so the SSID hasn't changed neither has any router settings since your network manager/wicd switchover?
[20:58] <natrixnatrix> Edward123: but you know the applet, that can be added to the panel?
[20:58] <Masteredu> natrixnatrix: webcamstudio4gnulinux is realy cool. that must support this option. the prob is , it is written in java and requieres a good pc
[20:58] <Edward123> Masteredu: i'd like to keep everything coming from the offical and offical non-free repos if possible, don't want to have sto start messing around with whatever the ubuntu equiv. of yum priorities is just to get the screensaver off while i'm watching movies - which seemed to be working fine on 9.04 before i upgraded?
[20:58] <joe__> I guess this was bad idea. No idea what line goes with what.  I'll try the linux forum.  Thanks
[20:59] <natrixnatrix> Masteredu: thanks
[20:59] <waldek> dfd
[20:59] <ubuntu> aeon-ltd: the dd-wrt SSID can read by iPod and Ubuntu 9.10 properly.  I think it is the problem of wicd.
[20:59] <paco__> Hola
[20:59] <Masteredu> joe__: you can use the ubuntu wiki
[20:59] <paco__> buenas noches
[20:59] <Edward123> ah natrixnatrix i see it's already installed, all these applets heh - new to me, i usually just use linux on console. that does look cool but it would be sexier if it was all happening automatic
[20:59] <ubuntu> Masteredu: how to find the kubuntu network manager?
[21:00] <aeon-ltd> ubuntu: yeah if no changes have been made to the router or character sets your using then its most definitely a bug
[21:00] <natrixnatrix> Edward123: yes. I agree. But I know no better solution so far.
[21:00] <Masteredu> ubuntu: you mean that one from kde? is it not included in the kubuntu-desktop package?
[21:00] <aeon-ltd> ubuntu: wait are you using the gtk interface or ncurses?
[21:00] <Masteredu> aeon-ltd: he uses gtk i think
[21:01] <ubuntu> aeon-ltd: I am using backtrack's KDE.
[21:01] <guntbert> !es | paco__
[21:01] <Masteredu> aeon-ltd: and backtrack uses wicd?
[21:01] <adalal> hey, all what does the following line mean:
[21:01] <adalal> dpkg-divert: mismatch on package
[21:01] <adalal>   when removing `diversion of /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libdri.so to /usr/lib/fglrx/libdri.so.xlibmesa by fglrx'  found `diversion of /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libdri.so to /usr/lib/fglrx/libdri.so.xlibmesa by xorg-driver-fglrx'
[21:01] <FloodBot2> adalal: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:01] <Masteredu> !de
[21:02] <man0riaX> Does anyone of you know an Empathy-screenlet, like the Pidgin-screenlet?
[21:03] <ubuntu> Masteredu: Yes, BackTrack use wicd 1.5.x and it has the problem too.  I upgraded to 1.7.0 and the problem is still there.
[21:03] <adalal> anyone aware of how to deal with dpkg-divert mismatch?
[21:04] <sausy> I have a big problem... I'm new in xubuntu, and my desk doesnt show any menu bar!!
[21:04] <maginot> adalal, what you mean with deal? Did you tried downloading the package again?
[21:04] <adalal> about 6 times
[21:04] <maginot> sausy, try #xubuntu
[21:04] <Llywelyn> Hello :)
[21:04] <Godslastering> when i click share connections on ipv4 on eth0 in my network manager, what is it really doing? how would i do the EXACT same thing via command line?
[21:04] <sausy> Ok
[21:04] <Llywelyn> When I try to connect with Wireless, I only get one little "ball" green and nothing happens :(
[21:05] <maginot> adalal, how do you did ?
[21:05] <subone> aeon-ltd, a web interface, lamp stack, php calls bash scripts
[21:05] <Llywelyn> i'm on 9.04
[21:05] <progre55> does gnome-volume-control-applet work without pulseaudio?
[21:05] <adalal> maginot: basically, im trying to install fglrx, but the error shows a dpkg-divert error, and the files that i listed above don't even exist
[21:06] <trevor> get knetworkmanager i just installed it and it made my wifi work. hope it helps!
[21:06] <aeon-ltd> subone: just to simplify things why not use a vnc client?
[21:06] <subone> aeon-ltd, from my phone?
[21:06] <maple1> how do I remove ubuntu and reinstall an OS that actually works, such as windows xp?
[21:06] <aeon-ltd> subone: damn,.......... iphone?
[21:06] <Godslastering> maple1: in the os you want to install, just say "uise entire drive"
[21:06] <subone> aeon-ltd, cliq android
[21:06] <Godslastering> maple1: "use entire drive" rather
[21:07] <subone> aeon-ltd, id rather have these things in a customized interface
[21:07] <aeon-ltd> subone: double damn
[21:07] <adalal> maple1: you insert the windows disc, and select the install option, and wait for 4 hours :)
[21:07] <maginot> adalal, but did you tried install fglrx with "apt-get install  xorg-driver-fglrx" ?
[21:07] <KaOSoFt> Hmm... if I click the Places or Systems or Applications menu, and let the menu displayed, "Print Screen" command won't take the picture. In fact, even if I have something like a context menu (after right-click) active, it still won't work. If no menu is active, "Print Screen" will work flawless.
[21:07] <trevor> i would just install them side by side
[21:07] <adalal> maginot: yes, i have, gives the same error
[21:07] <subone> aeon-ltd, i was gonna make an android app for it, but decided it would be easier to do it this way
[21:08] <trevor> i had a laptop that didnt work with ubuntu and it turned out to be a faulty harddrive boot section
[21:08] <subone> aeon-ltd, i just cant figure out why sometimes when i send dbus-send messages to gnome-mplayer it terminates randomly (or at least it seems random)
[21:08] <maginot> adalal, I can't imagine what is going wrong there, here I have no problem installing with apt-get ... sorry
[21:08] <Godslastering> How do i fix depends with apt-get?
[21:08] <trevor> is it protected by a password
[21:08] <adalal> maginot: do you know how to correct a dpkg-divert error, that seems to be the online problem
[21:09] <Enelar> Hi all. I have a little question. I configure apache2. Default root dir is /etc/www. I create virtual host develop-project.ru, with document root /etc/www/develop-project.ru, restart apache daemon, and if I connect to develop-project.ru, I see a /etc/www dit

[21:09] <FloodBot2> Enelar: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:09] <adalal> Enelar: go to the apache chat room
[21:09] <maginot> adalal, did you tried : "dpkg-divert --remove <package>" ?
 hello
[21:09] <Enelar> * #apache :Cannot send to channel
[21:10] <trevor> i installed knetworkmanager and my wifi worked instantly so i dont know what is wrong adalal
[21:10] <guntbert> Enelar: its #httpd channel
[21:10] <KaOSoFt> Enelar- Go to #httpd then. :D
[21:10] <adalal> maginot: no actually
[21:10] <magn3ts> I need someone to help me troubleshoot ridiculously terrible wireless performance
[21:10] <magn3ts> I'm tired of having a laptop that can't use the internet
[21:10] <trevor> try uninstalling then reinstalling it
[21:10] <Enelar> ok thnk
[21:10] <subone> guess i should ask in mplayer or something
[21:10] <adalal> trevor, what is this for?
[21:11] <maginot> adalal, if the problem is to remove the divert... try that =)
[21:11] <trevor> for the wifi problem
[21:12] <haavaros> Hi! What does "recursive" as in 'chown -r" mean? That the changes are applied to all subfolders?

[21:12] <maginot> haavaros, and files...
[21:12] <abulwleed> hi maginot
[21:12] <Godslastering> when i click share connections on ipv4 on eth0 in my network manager, what is it really doing? how would i do the EXACT same thing via command line?
[21:13] <maginot> hi

[21:14] <Godslastering> maginot: thats it?
[21:14] <maginot> Godslastering, this starts ip forward, what is used for connection sharing ..
[21:15] <maginot> Godslastering, you still will have to enable dhcp and things like that to make all work of course
[21:15] <Godslastering> maginot: how can i set that up? i want to emulate the EXACT results of enabling that option in network manager
[21:15] <jmcantrell> where does empathy store account information? i checked gconf, but it doesn't appear to be there.
[21:16] <Didhir> server /AlphaIRC
[21:16] <bahaa> maginot: I marked the thread I showed you last time (in ubuntu forums) as solved (and this is the url : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1442883&highlight=tty1+to+tty6
[21:16] <maginot> Godslastering, I told what a connection share basicly is, but I think you are talking about "Shared with other computers"  optiong in the Method option, aren't you ?
[21:17] <Godslastering> magical: yes, that option
[21:17] <Godslastering> maginot: ^
[21:17] <Godslastering> maginot: i want to do that exact thing via command-line
[21:17] <maginot> bahaa, okay, that is god, thanks by the quoting :)
[21:17] <maginot> *good
[21:18] <Godslastering> maginot: i need to do the exact thing via command-line since i dont have a window manager :p
[21:18] <maginot> Godslastering, I think that is a complete different thing...
[21:18] <Godslastering> maginot: ah, do you know how to do it?
[21:18] <maginot> Godslastering, what happen when you choose that option ?
[21:18] <alonea> has anyone been able to get Kindle for PC to work? Wine says its supposed to work, but I am unable to get it to run. It will install and uninstall, I have it in Win 98 mode. It starts, and then the window dissapears.
[21:18] <bahaa> maginot: thanks again(I'm enjoying the full screen command line soo much) (you are welcome :D )
[21:18] <Godslastering> maginot: i CANT choose the option, because i dont have a window manager lol
[21:19] <Hollenthon> I have enabled paint fire on the desktop but how do i use it? what key combination?
[21:19] <jmcantrell> where does empathy store account information? i checked gconf, but it doesn't appear to be there.
[21:19] <Commune> alonea: what does kindle for pc do?  i can transfer books to my kindle fine without wine
[21:19] <maginot> Godslastering, ok, but if you need that option so I suppose you know what you expect to happen, right?

[21:20] <LucidGuy> Simple licensing question.  My windows boxes are licensed via the vendor (Dell XP sticker), yet I connect them to a linux Samba server.  Do I need to purchase some kind of site wide calls for these systems to communicate with the samba shares?  Or does that only apply if it was a real windows server?
[21:20] <Hollenthon> coz_,  super?
[21:20] <coz_> Hollenthon,  super is the orginal name for the  "windows" key
[21:20] <Godslastering> maginot: yes, i know what it does, because i use it on another computer which DOES have a window manager, i just now need it on a computer without a window manager

[21:21] <maginot> Godslastering, so, that is what I'm asking you, what it does, if you tell me maybe I can tell you what to do in command line
[21:21] <oldtopman> hello, how do you get gnome-pilot to work
[21:21] <Hollenthon> coz_,  and the cube?
[21:21] <Hollenthon> coz_,  I enabled this things because i was curious how they work:)
[21:21] <Godslastering> maginot: it allows computer 2 to get an internet connection through computer 1's connection
[21:21] <coz_> Hollenthon,  well you first have to go into  ccsm general options   Desktop size tab
[21:21] <coz_> Hollenthon,   horizontal virtual size = 4  the other two settings = 1
[21:22] <Commune> alonea: if you're already running in win 98, i'm not sure.  i just googled it a bit and that was all that turned up.
[21:22] <maginot> Godslastering, so the answer is the echo command  I told you in  the first moment =)
[21:22] <wildc4rd> evenin' all
[21:22] <coz_> Hollenthon,  then be sure the Desktop cube    Rotate cube and viewport switcher plugins are enabled
[21:22] <Godslastering> maginot: aye aye, thanks :^)
[21:22] <wizard_> I have 2 computers that connact conenct physically.  I would like to access files from computer A from computer B, and also the opposite of that.  Im sort of a noob when it comes to this stuff, any links to GOOD tutorials for noobs?
[21:22] <wizard_> that CANNOT connect physically
[21:23] <coz_> Hollenthon,  also click on the rotate cube plugn and push up the "zoom" slider to about half way
[21:23] <maginot> Godslastering, but like I said, maybe in command line you have to do other things too
[21:23] <coz_> Hollenthon,  then either  middle click and move mouse around on desktop to initate the cube or  if a lap
[21:23] <Godslastering> maginot: ok, ill try it out
[21:23] <Hollenthon> coz_,  Could you please tell me where do i check the desktop cube rotate cube and viewport switcher plugins are enabled or not?
[21:23] <coz_> Hollenthon,  or if a laptop   ctrl+alt+left or right arrows
[21:23] <coz_> Hollenthon,  do you have ccsm installed?
[21:23] <coz_> Hollenthon,   sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[21:24] <Hollenthon> coz_,  I m in compizconfig setings:D
[21:24] <Enelar> can you check config file? http://apache.pastebin.ca/1858159
[21:24] <Hollenthon> coz_,  Yes, it's installed:)
[21:24] <coz_> Hollenthon,  ok  general options...Desktop size tab
[21:24] <Hollenthon> coz_,  I have done that step:)
[21:24] <Hollenthon> coz_,  after that I'm lost
[21:24] <coz_> Hollenthon,  ok now Desktop category
[21:24] <coz_> Hollenthon,  enable Desktop cube   Rotate cube  and Viewport swticher plugins
[21:25] <oldtopman> hello, how do you get gnome-pilot to work
[21:25] <Hollenthon> coz_,  done:)
[21:25] <wizard_> I have 2 computers that cannot conenct physically.  I would like to access files from computer A from computer B, and also the opposite of that.  Im sort of a noob when it comes to this stuff, any links to GOOD tutorials for noobs on SSH?
[21:25] <Hollenthon> coz_,  and now?:)
[21:25] <coz_> Hollenthon,  ok now click on the Rotate cube plugin to get into its settings and push up the "zoom" slider to about half way
[21:25] <coz_> Hollenthon,  is this a desktop or laptop?
[21:26] <Hollenthon> coz_,  a laptop:)
[21:26] <Hollenthon> coz_,  15,6"
[21:26] <coz_> Hollenthon,  ok  ctrl+alt+ left click and hold or   ctrl+alt+left or right arrows
[21:26] <Vigo> jmcantrel: Did you locate it?
[21:26] <Hollenthon> coz_,  Sorry maybe it's a stupid ideea, I'm a beginner ubuntu user, but tought it's interesting and always wanted to try it.
[21:26] <coz_> Hollenthon,  no problem
[21:27] <Hollenthon> coz_, wow
[21:27] <coz_> Hollenthon,  I take it ..it's working?
[21:27] <Hollenthon> coz_, wow, thank you from the bottom of my heart, this is so awesome!!!
[21:27] <Vigo> jmcantrell: Did you locate it?
[21:27] <Hollenthon> coz_, Thank you so much!
[21:27] <coz_> Hollenthon,  there you go   and have fun :)
[21:27] <Hollenthon> coz_, And another thing regarding paint with fire:P
[21:28] <coz_> Hollenthon,  if you need more help with compiz  you can contact me in #compiz most of the time or one of the other support people
[21:28] <Hollenthon> coz_,  i was only able to move the cursore but the paint fire would not last...
[21:28] <coz_> Hollenthon,  mmm
[21:28] <Hollenthon> coz_,  i see the fire paint moving with my cursore but it doesn't last...
[21:28] <coz_> Hollenthon,  hold on
[21:28] <magn3ts> Can someone please help me troubleshoot bad wifi performance using the STA/Broadcom driver?
[21:28] <Hollenthon> coz_,  Shure, excuse me.
[21:29] <coz_> Hollenthon,  hold down shift+super while using the left click to draw
[21:29] <coz_> Hollenthon,  then let go it should remain there until you hit  shift+super+c
[21:29] <Hollenthon> coz_,  it's working now:)
[21:29] <coz_> Hollenthon,  there you go :)
[21:30] <Hollenthon> coz_,  Thank you so much! :)
[21:30] <coz_> Hollenthon,  no problem
[21:34] <jetienne> q. how to install the libc dev manpage ?
[21:36] <hugli> When creating custom keyboard shortcut, can I pass current context (e.g. files selected in Nautilus) as parameters of the Command?
[21:37] <maginot> hugli, how are you creating those commands?
[21:38] <drd_> hi
[21:39] <hugli> System > Preferences > Keb'd Short's. The Command is Python script. I'd like to pass it parameters just as in Nautilus right-click menu (%d, %M etc.)
[21:40] <maginot> hugli, I don't think could work using file names and thing other then keyboard keys... but you can try...
[21:41] <el_junco> hi everybody
[21:42] <hugli> That's a shame. I wanted it for some sort of  "open selection  in ..." without right clicking
[21:42] <el_junco> how do I compress a folder in Ubuntu?
[21:42] <maximus_> well, i just started dumping windows and getting used with linux
[21:42] <maginot> hugli, maybe there is some program who implement that, I don't know, any command I need I type with Alt+F2 or now on my tilda ;)
[21:42] <maximus_> so any fellaws here help me how to start a process in linux
[21:43] <man0riaX> el_junco, right click on the folder and choose "compress"
[21:43] <maginot> ubottu, ask | maximus_
[21:44] <el_junco> man0riaX, how do I compress it to make it compatible with Windows? I have to open it on my PC at work and it has Windows XP
[21:44] <maximus_> damn bots
[21:44] <maximus_> how in the world i could start a new process ppl
[21:45] <maginot> maximus_, new process? with what... bash script, C, what? you could use exec for example
[21:45] <el_junco> how do I compress it to make it compatible with Windows? I have to open it on my PC at work and it has Windows XP
[21:45] <maximus_> no i just terminated this gnome-power
[21:46] <maximus_> need to start it again but how
[21:46] <maginot> maximus_, your question is bad formulated, I can't understand what you want to do.
[21:47] <maximus_> sorry abt that, c i terminated a process named "gnome-power-manager" via task manager
[21:47] <maximus_> now i need to start tat process
[21:48] <maginot> maximus_, just type in the terminal or with Alt+F2 "gnome-power-manager" if that is the program
[21:48] <man0riaX> el_junco, choose the file ending ".zip", and you'll be able to open the file on Windows, aswell
[21:48] <el_junco> man0riaX, ok I see. great, thanks
[21:49] <decoder> hi, as I stated in the last comment at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-backports-modules-2.6.31/+bug/404575 this bug affects also current lucid beta.. but i seem to be unable to link it to the appropriate package
[21:49] <decoder> if someone could do that, that'd be great :)
[21:49] <jrib> decoder: #ubuntu-bugs
[21:49] <decoder> I hope this bug gets fixed soon.. it has been fixed in mainstream kernel already longer ago
[21:49] <decoder> ah ok thx
[21:49] <maginot> !lucid
[21:50] <maximus_> ye works when using alt+f2
[21:50] <maginot> sure
[21:50] <maginot> :)
[21:50] <maximus_> thanks maginot :)
[21:50] <maginot> maximus_, you're welcome =)
[21:54] <subone> Where are the files located that define my "open with..." options?
[21:55] <subone> ah nvm found it ~/.local/share/applications/
[21:55] <gps23> how i can get the effect of 'aptitude update' in an offline machine?
[21:55] <maginot> subone, /usr/share/applications
[21:56] <maginot> gps23, how would that work ?
[21:56] <drd_> does anyone know why there are 2 packages for glfw?
[21:56] <maginot> drd_, what packages?
[21:57] <drd_> http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=glfw
[21:57] <maginot> drd_, -dev is the development headers
[21:57] <amos> drd_: one is a development pkg
[21:58] <gps23> maginot: i mean i can copy the latest packages from /var/cache/apt/archives/ from one system to another, but the other system won't pick that packages as they are of latest versions, so i want to do aptitude update offline, may be by copying some files
[21:58] <maginot> drd_, you probably need the one that is not development
[21:58] <drd_> well, i have the headers
[21:58] <drd_> thanks, i'll try
[21:59] <maginot> gps23, but for that to really work without any future problem the packages inside archive must be the ones installed on your system, otherwise they weren't there
[22:00] <maginot> gps23, but if you are aware of the problems, you could use /var/lib/dpkg/status from one machine on the other, maybe you want to make a backup of the file before overriding anything
[22:00] <gps23> maginot: thats right so i _need_ to do update before my other system would start using those .deb files
[22:01] <Vigo> gps23: And make a backup of the stable system.
[22:01] <maginot> gps23, the packages that are inside archive are expected to be installed already
[22:01] <MrGoose1> hello I need help getting my webcam to work,
[22:02] <maginot> gps23, isn't enough to be inside the cache, it had to be installed too
[22:02] <MrGoose1> it shows up as Z-Star Microelectronics Corp. ZC0303 WebCam in lsusb
[22:02] <PyroPhelia> noobie question, how do I search for a file in a dir, and it's subdirs for a filename containing the word disclaimer.
[22:02] <Hollenthon> I installed a theme but that theme has also a dock, how do i get that running?
[22:02] <ownlife> Quick yes or no type question: I want to install XP second to Ubuntu for the gaems and what not, should I do a separate partition or use a virtualpc equivalent?
[22:02] <gps23> Vigo: the scenario is i have all the packages already installed, now i want to go a friend's home who dont have internet access and donate my .deb files to him but i also need to do aptitude update on his system which i don't knw how to
[22:02] <maginot> gps23, if you just need any package, just copy the .deb package from on machine to the other and run "dpkg -i <package>"
[22:03] <MrGoose1> running it in skype I get some garbage
[22:03] <trism> !aptoncd | gps23
[22:03] <maginot> gps23, ^
[22:03] <Vigo> gps23: Ok, make a backup then use APTonCD, oh ok, thank you trism.
[22:04] <maginot> gps23, well, if you just need some package, copying the .deb package and issuing "dpkg -i <package>" work too
[22:04] <gps23> wow, i think thats what i wanted to know, thanks maginot and trism
[22:04] <maginot> np
[22:04] <Vigo> I am just a nut for making backups, and that is a good thing.
[22:04]  * maginot is surprised with APTonCD
[22:05] <maginot> !offline
[22:05] <jetienne> q. how to install the libc dev manpage ?
[22:05] <frxstrem> is there a good way to convert m4a files to mp3? (I don't care about quality loss or anything like that)
[22:05] <maginot> jetienne, apt-get install man-dev
[22:05] <frxstrem> or possibly wav, if mp3 doesn't work
[22:05] <skuzzel> Grub is loading ubuntu without giving me the option to load windows, can anyone help me?
[22:06] <jetienne> maginot: man dev doesnt exist. E: Couldn't find package man-dev
[22:06] <Vigo> frxstream: Have you tried or looked at ffmpeg?
[22:06] <maginot> jetienne, manpages-dev
[22:06] <dvheumen> hi. okay, I got a very strange issue with disappearing partition "devices" (/dev/sda{1,2} etc.) during the installation (alternative install) in both Karmic and Lucid Beta 1. Where is the best place to ask this, this channel, or ...?
[22:06] <Steve^> What can I use to do a whole screen zoom in kubuntu?
[22:07] <jetienne> frxstrem: ffmpeg does it, but you need libavcodec-extra-52 to encode in mp3
[22:07] <maginot> ubottu, lucid | dvheumen
[22:07] <jetienne> maginot: thanks
[22:07] <amos> jetienne: apt-get install manpages-dev
[22:07] <frxstrem> jewtienne: I don't know how to use ffmpeg for it
[22:07] <frxstrem> jetienne*
[22:08] <jetienne> amos: a bit too late, but thanks anyway
[22:08] <skuzzel> Grub is loading ubuntu without giving me the option to load windows, can anyone help me?
[22:08] <jetienne> frxstrem: sudo apt-get install ffmpeg libavcodec-extra-52
[22:08] <jetienne> frxstrem: then "ffmpeg -i mysuper.m4a mysuper.mp3"
[22:08] <frxstrem> jetienne: okay, thanks
[22:08] <ihaveitnow> Can someone explain the difference between -zxvf and -xf when extracting tar.gz files? Anda  good day to all
[22:09] <jetienne> ihaveitnow: -z is to decompress gzip, and -v is for verbose, to get more info
[22:09] <Vigo> frxstream: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=786095 <<that might help
[22:09] <frxstrem> Vigo: you misspelled my name :/
[22:09] <Vigo> My apologies
[22:09] <jetienne> !tab
[22:09] <jetienne> still work! :)
[22:10] <ihaveitnow> @jetienne So why have them both in the same extraction code?
[22:10] <jetienne> good bot
[22:10] <jetienne> ihaveitnow: ? i dont understand "same extraction code"
[22:10] <Vigo> frxstrem, Is that better? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=786095 <<that link explains ffmpeg install and stuff.
[22:10] <xgl_void> hi
[22:11] <frxstrem> Vigo: yeah, I saw your link
[22:11] <amos> ihaveitnow: -xf is for .tar while -zxf is for .tar.gz (.tgz) .. -v is just verbose
[22:11] <Vigo> Neato
[22:11] <progre55> how to replace alsa with pulseaudio so that the volume control works?
[22:11] <Steve^> is desktop zoom not possible without compiz?
[22:11] <bjarkef> ihaveitnow: x is extract, v is verbose, z is unzip, f is do this to the file mentioned next. zxvf is all of them, xf is just extract this file.
[22:11] <ihaveitnow> @jetienne : Maybe im not understanding the meaning of verbose
[22:11] <maginot> progre55, pulseaudio is already enabled and default on ubuntu...
[22:11] <jetienne> ihaveitnow: verbose  = a lot more details for the human to see
[22:11] <amos> ihaveitnow: verbose - show progress while extracting
[22:12] <maginot> !pulseaudio
[22:12] <progre55> maginot: well, I removed it =)
[22:12] <jetienne> and ou can remove pulseaudio if you want sound :)
[22:12] <maginot> progre55, install again with apt-get ...
[22:12] <bjarkef> ihaveitnow: tar is usually able to guess that you need to do unzip first, so you can usually drop the z parameter. Which  is why tar xf works on .tar.bz2, .tar.gz and just .tar files.
[22:12] <ihaveitnow> @bjarkef : @amos: @jetienne:oh oh oh oh, I get it. Thanks for the speedy and co-operative responses guys. I appreciate it. Good day to all
[22:13] <bjarkef> jetienne, amos: pro and con, you are supplementing each other nicely. ;)
[22:14] <progre55> maginot: I tried to re-compile alsa, and my volume control lost control over volume =) and I removed pulseaudio. When I install it again, it doesnt work, because maybe alsa is taking over or smth
[22:14] <ownlife> What is the site that lets us share large sections of text with each other?
[22:14] <progre55> maginot: for instance mplayer plays files, but no sound, but when I specify -ao alsa, it works okay
[22:14] <maginot> sorry, can't help with custom setups... you should know what you were doing when you manually replaced something
[22:14] <frxstrem> can ffmpeg only be used for audio, or can it be used to exctract audio from video too? (although I doubt it, I just have to ask)
[22:14] <bjarkef> ownlife, pastebin.com
[22:14] <ownlife> bjarkef, thanks!
[22:15] <bjarkef> np
[22:15] <progre55> maginot: no prob. thanks for attention though )
[22:15] <maginot> np
[22:15] <progre55> anyone? how to replace alsa with pulseaudio so that the volume control works? or, how to revert back the changes made to alsa? )
[22:16] <ownlife> I
[22:16] <skuzzel> Grub is loading ubuntu without giving me the option to load windows, can anyone help me?
[22:16] <ownlife> I'm not positive on what I'm looking at regarding whether or not I have a 64b/32b proc: guru willing to take a look? http://pastebin.com/sZMevzHY
[22:16] <ihaveitnow> Hey guys, back again. I just typed the code : tar -zxvf php-5.3.2.tar.gz : in the terminal. saw a bunch of things happen...No errors. But I got an error when I typed : ./configure : im assuming the tar i just extraced is in another location. Where do I find so I can configure?
[22:16] <zek152> I read that there are some issues with 64 bit systems running flash.. are there ways of keeping it from slowing the system up so much?
[22:16] <drd_> hmm, any advice for this?
[22:16] <drd_> /usr/lib/libglfw.a(x11_fullscreen.o): In function `_glfwPlatformGetVideoModes':
[22:17] <drd_> (.text+0x195): undefined reference to `XRRGetScreenInfo'
[22:17] <alonea> has anyone been able to get Kindle for PC to work? Wine says its supposed to work, but I am unable to get it to run. It will install and uninstall, I have it in Win 98 mode. It starts, and then the window dissapears.
[22:17] <bjarkef> ihaveitnow, usually .tar.bz2 or .tar.gz archives contains a folder. Did you change directory into the folder just extracted?
[22:17] <wizard_> I have 2 computers that cannot conenct physically.  I would like to access files from computer A from computer B, and also the opposite of that.  Im sort of a noob when it comes to this stuff, any links to GOOD tutorials for noobs on SSH?
[22:18] <ihaveitnow> @bjarkef: No...I dont think so. I cd'd into the proper directory. and ran the tar -zxvf code on the php download. Then code came up. And now it wont configure
[22:18] <ihaveitnow> @bjarkef: No such file or directory
[22:19] <bjarkef> ihaveitnow, do a "ls", find the name of the directory, which probably is php-5.3.2, and do a "cd php-5.3.2".
[22:20] <ihaveitnow> @bjarkef: yeah, I see the directory listed. So I just cd there, and run the configure again right? Will keep you updated if thats no problem
[22:20] <blindx> Hi, I have 9.10 and I went on gnome-look.org to find themes, but I don't know what category to search under.. gtk, metacity, compiz?
[22:20] <skuzzel> Grub is loading ubuntu without giving me the option to load windows, can anyone help me?
[22:21] <wizard_> skuzzel: you need to update grub probably
[22:21] <mkquist> wizard_: you dont need ssh just to share files
[22:21] <skuzzel> wizard: I just installed it off the live CD 9.10 today
[22:22] <blindx> skuzzel, have you updated all packages?
[22:22] <ihaveitnow> @bjarkef: Gave me an error...Saying libxml2 not found. But when I :apt-get install libxml2: it says its at the most recent version...
[22:22] <bjarkef> ihaveitnow, exactly. Sorry, would be no problem, but I have to run. Somebody else here can take over if necessary, but you should be able to follow any php compilation guide from there.
[22:22] <bjarkef> ihaveitnow, you probably need libxml2-dev
[22:23] <ihaveitnow> @bjarkef:will do, thanks again
[22:23] <wizard_> mkquist: please elaborate.  Hwo do I connect two computers without SSH?
[22:23] <mkquist> wizard_: are they on a network?
[22:24] <Guitch> Hi, anyone use ARISTA TRANSCODER?
[22:24] <wizard_> mkquist: no.  They both get wired internet from the same router, but they are not networked to share files.  I want to connect via the internet to the other machine. SSH is what I need help with.
[22:24] <skuzzel> blindx: what do you mean?
[22:24] <bjarkef> ihaveitnow, You always need the -dev package variant, they contain the extra "stuff" that is necessary for manually compilation against. And you probably will need quite a few for compilation of php, but you will get the names one by one when you try to redo the ./configure
[22:24] <Guitch> I have choosen what i want but nothing happen
[22:24] <Guitch> no play or execute
[22:24] <horst-peter> Hi, i've got a Ubuntu 9.10 Problem. My Display Brightness isn't ajustable. It worked on Hardy Heiron, but no longer in Karmic Koala
[22:24] <amos> ihaveitnow: do you really need to build from source or pkg from repo will be enough?
[22:24] <Guitch> how to use
[22:25] <ihaveitnow> @bjarkef: it worked with the -dev attached. Thanks again
[22:25] <blindx> skuzzel, system>administration>update manager and download all the new versions for everything since 9.10 was made.
[22:25] <mkquist> wizard_: ok, my mistake, thought you wanted to share between them
[22:25] <bjarkef> Have a nice day
[22:25] <skuzzel> blindx: my up to date with ubuntu I'm fairly certain
[22:25] <wizard_> mkquist: I do want to share between them.
[22:25] <james__> THERE'S A WIZARD?
[22:25] <horst-peter> Any ideas?
[22:25] <skuzzel> blindx: I have had for a few weeks now
[22:25] <ihaveitnow> @amos: im doing it so I can understand the coding behind linux and be a better programmer. And id like to become apart of the community through interactions. So I dont mind it. Thanks for the recommendation though
[22:26] <blindx> oh, i only asked cause i thought you said you just installed the live cd
[22:26] <amos> ihaveitnow: np
[22:26] <skuzzel> blindx: I installed Grub with the install CD
[22:26] <blindx> ohhhh
[22:26] <mkquist> wizard_: have you tried - in terminal "shares-admin"?
[22:26] <amos> blindx: have u added ur win partition to grub while installing ?
[22:27] <wizard_> mkquist: no, what is it?
[22:27] <amos> sorry skuzzel :D
[22:27] <mkquist> wizard_: controls shares on computer
[22:28] <wizard_> mqueiros: do both computers need the packages needed for shares-admin installed?
[22:28] <skuzzel> amos: I'm fairly certain I didn't
[22:28] <skuzzel> amos: I think that's the problem,
[22:28] <drd_> ok... i've never worked with minux really, so here's a silly question
[22:28] <mkquist> wizard_: its installed by default i believe, for ubuntu anyway
