[00:00] <paris> ilovefairuz! great, I meant something beside myql-query-browser.
[00:00] <bidaboy> WaltzingAlong, and virtualbox can open vmware virtual machines?
[00:01] <ilovefairuz> paris: you could search synaptic
[00:01] <kinks> is there not a free vmware player in the repo?
[00:01] <WaltzingAlong> yeah, bidaboy, ask google
[00:01] <pars> Damn loosing my mind I need to recover 1 folder :(
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> kinks: no, thats why that guide exists
[00:01] <Mqueue> ilovefairuz>>  do you know how to fix this one ?
[00:01] <bastidrazor> kinks: not in the repo's but there is a vmware-player
[00:01] <bidaboy> WaltzingAlong, ok thanks
[00:01] <ilovefairuz> !google > WaltzingAlong
[00:01] <DasEi> kinks: the ose version of vbox is
[00:01] <bastidrazor> kinks: available on the vmware page.
[00:01] <ilovefairuz> Mqueue: what's wrong now? can't boot windows?
[00:01] <WaltzingAlong> fuck
[00:02] <econdudeawesome> Is anyone else having trouble with minitube? Whats the deal?
[00:02] <pars> ActionParsnip: I cant fsck it, cant clear the journalling, cant use backup blocks... any options left lol?
[00:02] <ilovefairuz> econdudeawesome: youtube could have changed its markup and minitube cant parse it, leave the guy a comment
[00:02] <Caer> octavio-rdz: (I cant paste) ifconfig says eth1 is the wifi ; dmesg says "eth0: Broadcom ... Wireless controller" and then "udev: renamed eth0 to eth1", then "eth1: non IPv6"
[00:02] <Pici> WaltzingAlong: Please mind your language here.
[00:03] <ilovefairuz> !language ? WaltzingAlong
[00:03] <kinks> pars: yes, buy a new hard drive and use telekinesis to copy your data.
[00:03] <WaltzingAlong> anyone else?
[00:03] <econdudeawesome> ilovefairuz I don't have a launchpad account--do I need one to leave a comment?
[00:03] <WaltzingAlong> !language | WaltzingAlong
[00:03] <tokigalor> clonezilla is better for copyig data
[00:03] <DasEi> WaltzingAlong: your issue ?
[00:03] <bazhang> WaltzingAlong, ask a question
[00:03] <tokigalor> copying*
[00:03] <ilovefairuz> econdudeawesome: i mean the developer's blog
[00:03] <pars> kinks: hard drive is only 2 weeks old
[00:03] <WaltzingAlong> !listofwordsoneshouldnotuseinthischannel > WaltzingAlong
[00:03] <ActionParsnip> pars: foremost can read the partition and attempt to recover data. I STRONGLY suggest you think more and get a backup. That way you dont care if the drive dies as you can restore the data
[00:03] <econdudeawesome> ah
[00:04] <DasEi> !coc > WaltzingAlong
[00:04] <octavio-rdz> Caer: ok well it does detect your eth0
[00:04] <kinks> pars: in that case, refer to warranty, then use telekinesis to copy data? I don't know. :/
[00:04] <bazhang> WaltzingAlong, please /msg ubottu
[00:04] <octavio-rdz> now try ifconfig eth0
[00:04] <pars> ActionParsnip: damnit I guess ill just format it then :@
[00:04] <WaltzingAlong> /msg ubottu !coc
[00:04] <ActionParsnip> kinks: drive only has issues due to poweroutage during fsck
[00:04] <kinks> ah
[00:05] <DasEi> WaltzingAlong: may I pm you ?
[00:05] <rilliam> can anybody here tell me how to mount and smb share

[00:06] <pars> ActionParsnip: thanks for the help anyways, ill just have to format it - bye
[00:06] <Caer> octavio-rdz: because I tried adding a connection and it asks the MAC address
[00:06] <mducharme> I need it to work properly in ubuntu 10.04
[00:07] <mducharme> that's why I was asking in here
[00:07] <ridin> ilovefairuz, thanks
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> mducharme: check the HCL, HP are super supported
[00:07] <ilovefairuz> mducharme: HP ones are generally well supported

[00:09] <mducharme> actionparsnip and ilovefairuz - the HP laserjet they have right now doesn't work properly
[00:09] <Dr_Willis> mducharme:  I got a nice Brother  with wireless for $100 on sale. :) H:-2170W
[00:09] <dementor> i cant write i cant move the mouse
[00:09] <mducharme> I had told them to get an hp laserjet because it would work
[00:10] <mducharme> but the hp that they got was some kind of "winprinter"
[00:10] <ilovefairuz> dementor: what's the make and model, how are they connected?
[00:10] <Dr_Willis> mducharme:  theres some Hp's that have issues.. my brother had a slight issue.. but its best to reseaerch befor spending a lot of $$$
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> mducharme: grab the latest HPLIP, it should help
[00:10] <mducharme> laserjet 1018 model
[00:10] <Dr_Willis> mducharme:  thats why i like the new wireless/networked printers.
[00:11] <mducharme> uses some kind of zjstream protocl
[00:11] <mducharme> I had it working fine back when they were on opensuse
[00:11] <Dr_Willis> mducharme:  for a company. they should be checkin out the cost of ink and how much they are going to be printing. that can be 100x the xost of the printer over  the life of the printer.
[00:11] <mducharme> but since I moved the to ubuntu it hasn't worked
[00:11] <dementor> the mouse a wireles genius and the keyboard ia 4tech and thei are conectet to the serv thro a kcm switchi
[00:11] <dementor> kvm
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> dementor: try without the kvm
[00:12] <mducharme> and I tried upgrading the hplip, no difference
[00:12] <weedar> I want to cross-compile for sparc64 on my 64-bit Ubuntu, any ideas how? So far I've only found cross-compilers for sparc32-targets
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> weedar: use a chroot
[00:12] <dementor> the same i tryed
[00:12] <mducharme> the 1018 is suppposed to be compatible, but it isn't, that's why I wanted to make sure whatever it is is not a winprinter
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> !chroot
[00:12] <IdleOne> Dr_Willis: that Brother printer worked OTB?
[00:13] <Caer> For an unknown reason my network applet doesn't show any Ethernet connection anymore, what should I do?
[00:13] <xStink> hi i have the strangest issue
[00:13] <Dr_Willis> IdleOne:  yes. Once i fitgured out how to get it networked right. I had to plug it into the wired network first to set up the wireless settings.
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> Caer: do you have an entry for it in /etc/network/interfaces ?
[00:13] <xStink> anyone around this time on a Sunday?
[00:14] <Caer> ActionParsnip: no, but neither for eth1 which the applet shows (but I can't see my router there)
[00:14] <IdleOne> Dr_Willis: mine seems to work only when it feels like it. there are drivers in the repos for it but for whatever reason it doesn't always get recognized
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> Caer: if you do, thats why. but you don't so its ok
[00:14] <Dr_Willis> IdleOne:  I  do think i had to manually install the proper brother package from teh repios for the drivers.  But there was some odd issue  where it would be real slow to print. A check of the forums suggest just using the Generic PCL5 driver. and now its printing quite well
[00:14] <ilovefairuz> dementor: what's the model of the switch ?
[00:14] <bidaboy> what is the best text to speech client
[00:14] <RealEyes> have you guys heard of the Starcraft II POL?
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> Caer: if you run:  sudo lshw -C network    websearch for the product line of the wired connection for guides
[00:14] <IdleOne> Dr_Willis: thanks for the hint.
[00:14] <octavio-rdz> Caer: if you do ifconfig eht0 and it does show you the ip then it must be ok ..... if not you could try ifconfig eth0 up
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> bidaboy: there is no best app for ANYTHING.
[00:15] <Dr_Willis> IdleOne:  try the generic pcl5 perhaps. It was weird bug. it would take 40 min for it to print a little bity page..  :) i seiwtched to the genric pcl5 and not had any issues since.
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> bidaboy: theres no best anything in life
[00:15] <xStink> I installed 10.4, rebooted and everything works fine
[00:15] <dementor> ilovefairuz; is a lindy switch
[00:15] <Caer> octavio-rdz: ifconfig says "cannot find eth0"
[00:15] <Guest37482> anyone know how to install python 3.1.2?
[00:15] <ilovefairuz> bidaboy: search synaptic for "tts"
[00:15] <Dr_Willis> IdleOne:  also if says its out of toner.. You can put some black tape over   one of the 'windows' (a little pencil sized clear hole) on the Toner cart. and prioberly get a few 100+ more pages out of it. :)
[00:15] <xStink> then i update and all of a sudden i don't have permission to use sound, reboot or anything like that
[00:15] <ilovefairuz> dementor: no model? just "lindy"
[00:16] <ActionParsnip> bidaboy: there is espeak and festival I can think of, neither are best, nor are they worst
[00:16] <dementor> but ai try whit out the switch and the same plb
[00:16] <octavio-rdz> Caer: you if you just do eth0 it does show eth0?
[00:16] <Dr_Willis> IdleOne:  it said i was out of toner after 100 pages on one toner cart. :(   not sure how many i will actually get.
[00:16] <octavio-rdz> Caer: oops I mean if you just do ifconfig it does show eth0
[00:16] <Caer> ActionParsnip: lshw shows only eth1 (without naming it)
[00:17] <weedar> ActionParsnip: Thanks for the suggestion :) I'd prefer being able to compile for several architectures at once though, by specifying "cross-sparc32 cross-sparc64 amd64" for example to compile for sparc32/64 on a 64-bit x86 system
[00:17] <ilovefairuz> dementor: the keyboard is not detected even without the switch?
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> Caer: you will need a ppa
[00:17] <Caer> octavio-rdz: no
[00:17] <IdleOne> Dr_Willis: right now I just want to get it working again. \o/ for saving ink hehe
[00:17] <Guest37482> anyone know how to install python 3.1.2?
[00:17] <bidaboy> i want to say that is available for diferent langage
[00:17] <dementor> ilovefairuz,  yes is not detected
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> Caer: then reboot and run:  dmesg | less     and read through, see if your ethernet port is detected at boot and if there are any issues with it
[00:17] <chris___1> http://imagebin.org/106644 im on an acer extensa 4620Z and it's running really hot. fancontrol isnt reading the configuration file sudo sensors-detect make, though it was written correctly
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> Guest37482: you will need a ppa]
[00:17] <octavio-rdz> Caer: strange if you said that dmesg | grep eth shows that is there
[00:18] <Dr_Willis> IdleOne:  yea. i finally started looking in the forums for others with that slow issue.. and stumbled upon the fix. search the forums for my posts it will be ione of those.
[00:18] <ilovefairuz> dementor: the keyboard connection is usb ?
[00:18] <DasEi> Guest37482: any certain reason for this newer version ?
[00:18] <IdleOne> Dr_Willis: will do thanks.
[00:18] <dementor> ilovefairuz, yes
[00:18] <Guest37482> not really
[00:18] <Caer> octavio-rdz: I did not says that ; it seemed like the wireless card started as eth0, then was renamed eth1
[00:19] <Dr_Willis> IdleOne:  over all - i give it a B+ - good price.. decent speed.. ok features..  :)  its just real LOUD when it first starts up.. and  its right next to my bed.. so the wife prints while im asleep and i hit the ceiling.
[00:19] <ilovefairuz> dementor: can you ssh into the machine from another one? and type lsusb
[00:19] <corpsegrindr> Has anyone succefully gotten HDMI audio to work on a nvidia G210? I have run every tutorial I can find  and have still not been able to get it working
[00:19] <Guest37482> i just like to keep things up to date and im new to python
[00:19] <DasEi> Guest37482: then stay with the repo one on a productional system or try in a vm first, as dependencies , by a small chance, can mess up
[00:19] <ilovefairuz> dementor: try attaching them without the switch and restart the computer
[00:19] <dementor> ilovefairuz, from this computer i cant
[00:20] <Ace2> I need help. I am running Ubuntu 10.04. I had the PC up and running when I left today. When I came back I went to get back on and it was froze on a black screen. I was able to see and move my mouse around but the password screen would not come up. I restarted and it wont go past "Grub loading, please wait..." Error 17
[00:20] <Caer> ActionParsnip: what is a ppa? but dmesg after a reboot said something like 'udev: eth0 renamed to eth1' (eth1 is the wireless card after the boot)
[00:20] <octavio-rdz> Caer: my bad then .... did you read about the problem about the dual booting? that I typed after you said you were going to reboot?
[00:20] <Guest37482> does kubuntu 10.04 have a version built in?
[00:20] <DasEi> !latest > Guest37482
[00:20] <bidaboy> virtualbox can open virtual machines created via vmware?
[00:20] <IdleOne> Dr_Willis: perhaps move the printer? where do I find that PCL5 driver? in repos?
[00:20] <barfster> Guest37482: cat /etc/issue
[00:21] <Caer> octavio-rdz: yes, but you said you changed something in the card properties ; I cant see any. Plus the card works fine under windows.
[00:21] <ju2wheels> bidaboy: yes, just dont install vmware tools on i think is the only requirement
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> !ppa | caer
[00:21] <DasEi> bidaboy: with some tricks, yes, but not in general, a vm is easily created on half-efficient equipment
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> Guest37482: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/python3.1
[00:21] <bidaboy> DasEi, how?
[00:22] <ilovefairuz> dementor: well we can't troubleshoot without ssh, try attaching without switch and restarting
[00:22] <ActionParsnip> Caer: sounds like the wifi is being named as et0 but the wired is usually eth0, is the wired connection enabled in bios?
[00:22] <Dr_Willis> IdleOne:  it was allready insatlled. heres the thread -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1461480
[00:22] <octavio-rdz> Caer: I don't have a windows box right now ... but as I remember it was in Control Panel -> Network -> Select the network then properties
[00:22] <Dr_Willis> IdleOne:  change the printer from brother whatever.. to -> Make and Model: Generic PCL 5e Printer Foomatic/gutenprint-ijs-simplified.5.0
[00:22] <DasEi> bidaboy: vbox is like a pc in pc, with all parts, so you just use a iso and install to vbox's harddrive, for deeper info look at their homepage or join ##vbox
[00:22] <Caer> ActionParsnip: the card worked fine yesterday ; I will check the BIOS
[00:23] <bidaboy> DasEi, ok thaks
[00:23] <dementor> ilovefairuz, tomorow i will change the way i connect to the serv  and i wil come back for help:)

[00:25] <Dr_Willis> I am here.. you are 'there' :)

[00:25] <ilovefairuz> Mr_Sonoma: pm?
[00:25] <Mr_Sonoma> sure
[00:25] <ActionParsnip> Caer: good move
[00:25] <ActionParsnip> Caer: is the system a laptop or branded pc?
[00:25] <DasEi> Dr_Willis: they are everywhere.. ot, k
[00:26] <hiexpo> evening all
[00:26] <Caer> ActionParsnip: HP dv6 laptop ; has a "disable wifi" button and some quirks
[00:26] <ActionParsnip> Caer: greta, let me search
[00:27] <metalgeek> ActionParsnip, Hi, Where did you go earlier?
[00:29] <octavio-rdz> Caer: I suppose you are in windows in that machine the one with the problem right?
[00:30] <Caer> octavio-rdz: I have windows installed but I connect to IRC from an other laptop (and though a headless server)
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> Caer: do you dual boot?
[00:30] <Caer> ActionParsnip: yes
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> metalgeek: not sure
[00:30] <FabParma> how to modify the menu into the applet to the desktop panel that has an envelop as icon?
[00:31] <metalgeek> ActionParsnip, could you spare a second?
[00:31] <Caer> ActionParsnip: windows 7, ubuntu Lucid ; I have three kernels installed, and tested the last two
[00:31] <ActionParsnip> Caer: ok the windows boot may be tying up the device, head into device manager and disable power saving on the device as well as uncheck the box to allow the device to wake windows up. Windows is screwing te hardware up
[00:31] <octavio-rdz> Caer: ok got to "Devices manager" (or something like that)  and select the ethernet card then properties and see if there is something like Link Down power saving
[00:31] <ActionParsnip> metalgeek: sure
[00:32] <ActionParsnip> octavio-rdz: yeah, so annoying. dual boots can be such a PITA
[00:33] <octavio-rdz> ActionParsnip: yes I had that problem like a year ago .... it just stopped working after a windows update
[00:33] <IdleOne> Dr_Willis: I am unable to see the printer on the network, telling me to check System > Admin > Firewall
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> octavio-rdz: never had the issue as I dont use windows :)
[00:34] <theholder> hey all
[00:34] <octavio-rdz> ActionParsnip: good point .... now I don't do dual booting but I used to .... now just Ubuntu
[00:34] <TheEskimo> !hi | theholder
[00:35] <metalgeek> ActionParsnip, Cheers, I don't know if you remember but I installed Ubuntu LL to a 500gb SATA drive a few days ago.  I still have two little 40gb ATA's left around. I'm planning to put one of them in this machine as a place to put windowsXP, Could this create problems as I hear that GRUB is alot more intelligent than win bootloader and so best practice would dictate that I install Win first. Ant thoughts would be warmly recieved thanks.
[00:35] <FabParma> how to modify the menu into the applet to the desktop panel that has an envelop as icon? i'd like to set Thunderbird, as default and add some link useful to me, at the moment the only shwon is Pidgin link
[00:35] <thune3> FabParma: i couldn't make sense of your question. could you try again?
[00:35] <metalgeek> Ant = Any, sorry
[00:35] <Ace2> I was getting an "Error 17" message when I was starting up my PC. I reinstalled grub 2 and now when I start it just says GRUB with a curser flashing after it. Can someone help me please?
[00:35] <FabParma> thune3: its a bit more clear now?
[00:36] <econdudeawesome> what is the name of the program used to change the sound theme? I'd like to invoke it from the command line...
[00:36] <metalgeek> thune3, Hi, Thanks for all the help the other day, really helped ;)
[00:36] <TheEskimo> metalgeek: If you are installing windows and ubuntu on different harddrives the order doesn't matter.
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> metalgeek: sure you can install windows to them, you will need to add the entry in grub as grub can boot windows hapily
[00:36] <Caer> ActionParsnip octavio-rdz : unchecked, and it worked ; thank you very much for your patience and $&#@ windows !
[00:37] <ActionParsnip> Caer: yep :(
[00:37] <ilovefairuz> econdudeawesome: gnome-volume-control
[00:37] <octavio-rdz> Caer: that is a good new.
[00:37] <metalgeek> TheEskimo, ActionParsnip , Thanks guys, so just install the hardware, bootup with win cd, install as per normal & then tell GRUB about it?
[00:37] <econdudeawesome> lovefairuz is that the gnome equivalent of alsa-mixer, or does that allow a change in theme?
[00:38] <ActionParsnip> metalgeek: sounds good to me. To be double safe you can disconnect the power from the Ubuntu drive and then you will have no threat of damaging the data
[00:38] <TheEskimo> metalgeek: Yup. You might have to change the harddrive boot order in your bios, but probably not. It should be just that simple.
[00:38] <demism> as far as configuration files, and system structure is ubuntu identical to debian? What are the differences?
[00:38] <ActionParsnip> !ot | demism
[00:39] <Ace2> Can someone please help me with a grub problem
[00:39] <matthew_> i don't have pulseaudio, how can I switch to my usb soundcard in alsamixer?
[00:39] <ilovefairuz> !help | Ace2
[00:39] <octavio-rdz> metalgeek I don't see any problem in having windows in other HD ... what do you plan to install? cause I remember that I could not install windows XP in a slave HD
[00:39] <Ace2> I was getting an "Error 17" message when I was starting up my PC. I reinstalled grub 2 and now when I start it just says GRUB with a curser flashing after it. Can someone help me please?
[00:40] <thune3> FabParma: i'm really tired, and maybe it's just me; but no. I'm reading it as: 'How do I modify the panel applet that displays an envelope icon? I'd like it to open Thunderbird instead of Pidgin.'
[00:41] <ilovefairuz> Ace2: boot from livecd, open a terminal, type fdisk - l, and pastebin it
[00:41] <Tzetsin> m
[00:41] <Ace2> ilovefairuz, OK
[00:42] <corpsegrindr> Has anyone succefully gotten HDMI audio to work on a nvidia G210? I have run every tutorial I can find  and have still not been able to get it working
[00:43] <FabParma> thune3: close to the system clock do you see an icon that seems an envelop?
[00:43] <metalgeekSSL> ActionParsnip, IdleOne, Dr_Willis, Being a noob to all this you guys have been very patient, Thank you. I can always find one of you day and night, Ubuntu spirit?
[00:43] <FabParma> thune3: clickin on it you get Evolution and Pidgin
[00:43] <ActionParsnip> corpsegrindr: i've never seen anyone get hdmi working
[00:43] <FabParma> thune3: right?
[00:43] <Ace2> ilovefairuz, http://paste.ubuntu.com/468648
[00:44] <corpsegrindr> ActionParsnip: sad
[00:44] <ActionParsnip> metalgeekSSL: just time to kill
[00:44] <IdleOne> metalgeekSSL: our pleasure
[00:44] <ActionParsnip> corpsegrindr: i just use my soundcard, its what its made for
[00:44] <FabParma> thune3: so, i would like to modify that applet
[00:44] <metalgeekSSL> See ya in a bit then ;)
[00:44] <corpsegrindr> ActionParsnip: yeah, unfortunetly thats not working either
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> corpsegrindr: do you use a creative audigy per chance?
[00:45] <corpsegrindr> ActionParsnip: As a matter of fact i do, audigy platnium ex
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> corpsegrindr: guess how I knew...
[00:45] <corpsegrindr> ActionParsnip: It also does not work
[00:45] <DasEi> xfi-rumours
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> corpsegrindr: they are a real pain to get going, not worth the heartache at all
[00:46] <ilovefairuz> Ace2: your ubuntu installation is on sda1 ?
[00:46] <Ace2> ilovefairuz, Yes
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> no idea why people buy them at all
[00:46] <corpsegrindr> ActionParsnip: I have onboard hd nvidia sound, but I think it may be broken. even with windows 7 i get mostly white noise from it
[00:46] <ilovefairuz> Ace2: in the terminal type 'grub'.. then .. root (hd0,0)
[00:47] <thune3> FabParma: i  can only point you to http://moztraybiff.mozdev.org/ or http://ubuntugenius.wordpress.com/2010/06/01/email-notification-add-mozilla-thunderbird-to-the-indicator-applet-in-ubuntus-system-tray/
[00:47] <DasEi> corpsegrindr: I haven't follow it, since being very nasty , but as I remember there was something going on with latest alsa in conjunction with pulseaudio, if you don't mind the hassle, can try it
[00:48] <Ace2> ilovefairuz, I got a syntax error near unexpected token '('
[00:48] <corpsegrindr> DasEi: Yeah i have done all the alsa updates and pulse tweaks with no effect. Others claim to have gotten it working though
[00:48] <ilovefairuz> Ace2: are you sure you typed corrected? root (hd0,0)
[00:48] <Ace2> ilovefairuz, Yes

[00:49] <wizard_> anyone no were I can get the flying windows plugin for compiz?
[00:49] <DasEi> corpsegrindr: last I know from it was a degraded functionality, so more a x-wing then a x-fi, though nice under win
[00:49] <FabParma> thune3: thank tou for help me
[00:49] <ionut> hi. i have a nokia 5200 and i want to connect to the internet using that phone . what software should i use?
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> wizard_: flying window?
[00:50] <FabParma> thune3: i have a look right now
[00:50] <DasEi> corpsegrindr: did you search alsaproject for your specific model ?
[00:50] <ActionParsnip> wizard_: like the screensaver?
[00:50] <corpsegrindr> DasEi: I did not. ill run that right now
[00:50] <wizard_> ActionParsnip, yes thats the one
[00:51] <DasEi> corpsegrindr: http://www.alsa-project.org/
[00:51] <ilovefairuz> ionut: do you have a bluetooth chip ?
[00:51] <ionut> ilovefairuz: no i don't ( you mean in my laptop? )
[00:51] <Ace2> ilovefairuz, http://paste.ubuntu.com/468650
[00:51] <ilovefairuz> ionut: yeah in laptop
[00:52] <ActionParsnip> wizard_: let me see, have you asked in #compiz too?
[00:52] <wizard_> ActionParsnip, no I just asked in here
[00:52] <ionut> ilovefairuz: no , i don't. but i think if i have the right software i can connect it using usb
[00:52] <ActionParsnip> wizard_: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/07/31/install-three-experimental-compiz-plugins/
[00:53] <DasEi> Ace2: looks like you try to run a grub 1 command from bash (and not the grub-shell) on grub2
[00:53] <ilovefairuz> ionut: well you can buy a very cheap bluetooth dongle (like $1) , and try pairing the phone with the laptop, network manager will detect if it can access the internet from it, most modern nokia phones work fine
[00:53] <wizard_> ActionParsnip, tried that I get this
[00:53] <ilovefairuz> Ace2: type grub and then press enter, you'll get to a prompt
[00:54] <Ace2> ilovefairuz, OK
[00:54] <ActionParsnip> wizard_: get what?
[00:54] <ilovefairuz> Ace2: then, root (hd0,0)
[00:55] <ionut> ilovefairuz:  so , i think i missundertund (i wrote that correct :D ?) myself. i want to connect my phone using cable usb to use the network of a vodafone card of my phone. using bluetooth is the same. but what kind of software i shoult use
[00:55] <wizard_> ActionParsnip, install git-core
[00:55] <Ace2> ilovefairuz, It says "The program grub is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install grub
[00:55] <wizard_> ActionParsnip, which I am installing now
[00:56] <ActionParsnip> wizard_: the guide shows what to install, although one of the packages need changing, the system will tell you which
[00:56] <wizard_> ActionParsnip, cheers nearly there i think
[00:57] <ilovefairuz> ionut: no software, it works out of the box, after you buy the bluetooth dongle (attaches to a usb port),  right click on bluetooth icon and select "setup new device", the rest is an easy wizard, then you'll find the connection in the network manager icon added automatically
[00:57] <ilovefairuz> Ace2: grub2
[00:58] <ilovefairuz> ionut: if you laptop has bluetooth, you don't need to buy the bluetooth dongle
[00:58] <wizard_> ActionParsnip, get this wizard@wizard-laptop:~/compizplugins/screensaver$ make
[00:58] <wizard_> make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
[00:58] <Ace2> ilovefairuz, http://paste.ubuntu.com/468652

[01:01] <bael> install samba

[01:02] <ilovefairuz> wizard_: type: ./configure && make
[01:02] <Bridger987> bael >  I installed Samba before I even started.  Still not working.
[01:02] <jcape> Question about the firefox 4 ppa: should it be displaying the tabs-on-top style?

[01:05] <Guest26548> hey there is there anying way to get my microsoft lifecam to work on ubuntu
[01:06] <Ace2> ilovefairuz, OK, installation finished. No error reported
[01:06] <ilovefairuz> Ace2: ok try rebooting
[01:06] <wizard_> ilovefairuz, http://paste.ubuntu.com/468658/
[01:07] <Ace2> ilovefairuz, OK
[01:07] <ilovefairuz> wizard_: well you need cmake, not make
[01:07] <ilovefairuz> sudo apt-get install cmake
[01:08] <Wiesshund> econdudeawesome,  system - prefs - sound
[01:08] <wizard_> ilovefairuz, I have cmake installed
[01:08] <murielgodoi> Is fglrx needed to get 3d hardware support using Radeon 9600se + lucid?
[01:08] <ilovefairuz> wizard_: type: cmake
[01:08] <wizard_> ilovefairuz, done now install ?
[01:08] <econdudeawesome> Wiesshund it's not there
[01:09] <Wiesshund> econdudeawesome,  which isnt there? the sound tab?
[01:09] <ilovefairuz> wizard_: did you read README.txt ? probably has instructions
[01:09] <econdudeawesome> Wiesshund the sound option in the preferences menu
[01:09] <Ace2> ilovefairuz, I restarted and it comes to up to what looks like a prompt that says GRUB with a flashing curser but you can't type anything
[01:09] <wizard_> ilovefairuz, will have a look now cheers
[01:09] <Wiesshund> econdudeawesome, what distro you running?
[01:10] <econdudeawesome> Wiesshund I tried through the command line--gnome-volume-whatev. and it didn't work
[01:10] <econdudeawesome> Lubuntu 10.04 installed over Ubuntu 10,04
[01:11] <Niglop> are there any video editing software in linux that work the same as sony vegas?
[01:11] <matthew_> I've configured my power settings to never put the display to sleep, but it still goes to sleep...
[01:11] <ilovefairuz> Ace2: are you sure sda1 is where you installed ubuntu ?
[01:11] <eyes_only> recent updates broke my touchpad, ui hangs dmesg throwing resync fail errors
[01:11] <zaspan> Question: i`m trying to compile "k10temp" module to work with "sensors" but when I run "make install" it says it`s missing some file(FATAL: Could not open '/lib/modules/2.6.32-23-generic/build/System.map': No such file or directory). I reckon that I am missing some kernel development files and I don`t know which ones. Can someone please tell me which packet to apt-get?
[01:11] <Wiesshund> econdudeawesome,  i am not sure in lite ubuntu where youd find the sound app :( i looked at it once and didnt like it as a desktop
[01:11] <ilovefairuz> !bug | matthew_
[01:12] <Ace2> Yes
[01:12] <Wiesshund> econdudeawesome,  did you try asking in #lubuntu ?
[01:12] <sindegra> zaspan: I think ./configure should report what you're missing.
[01:12] <Ace2> ilovefairuz, Yes
[01:12] <matthew_> ilovefairuz, i know what to do with a bug, thank you. I was just wondering if this was user error in some way.
[01:12] <econdudeawesome> Wiesshund yes--#lubuntu is dead, the only one who answers is phillw who is away. Google of course reveals nothing :-)
[01:12] <ilovefairuz> sindegra: no ./configure for kernel modules
[01:13] <Wiesshund> econdudeawesome, sorry :( but for that sub distro i am not sure. they took alot of things out they considered unnecessary
[01:13] <zaspan> sindegra, yes there is no configure file. just Makefile and k10temp.c
[01:13] <sindegra> econdudawesome: I run lubuntu, what's the problem?
[01:14] <Wiesshund> sindegra,  He cant find the sound control app to turn off desktop theme sounds etc
[01:14] <econdudeawesome> sindegra I cannot change the sound theme--using the gnome controls from my underlying original Ubuntu install (10.04) changes nothing, and I get the annoying "pop" sound any time I open a chromium tab. I just want to disable the sound theme (not just turn down my volume)
[01:15] <arniokas> is there any tool, except from lm-sensors, that doesn't work with my netbook, for temperature-monitoring?
[01:16] <ilovefairuz> zaspan: did you run make before make install? is module built?
[01:17] <zaspan> ilovefairuz, yes i did
[01:17] <ilovefairuz> zaspan: does insmod on the module work?
[01:17] <redvil> need suggestions for a good DVD ripper to install in ubuntu..one that is easy to configure and use? anyone?
[01:17] <BigC_> say I was to buy a notebook that has a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3400 gpu in it. Do I download the driver from the AMD website, or do I get it via synaptic? Also is there a open source driver for this GPU?
[01:17] <nb72> I'm looking to run an old machine headless as a server (mostly file server in the house).
[01:18] <ilovefairuz> !hardware | BigC_
[01:18] <nb72> Is there a guide for setting up a machine to control it over ssh?
[01:18] <ilovefairuz> nb72: install ubuntu server edition, and ssh gets installed automatically
[01:19] <Mr_Sonoma> nb72, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Configuring
[01:19] <nb72> ok.  I'm installing ubuntu server 10.04.
[01:19] <FabParma> thune3: has worked, not exactly as i wanted but its fine for me i make a screen for you
[01:19] <nb72> Thanks guys
[01:20] <econdudeawesome> sindegra--any idea?
[01:20] <sindegra> econdudeawesome: pretty much stumped admittedly. I didn't even know lxde had sound themes.
[01:21] <Wiesshund> redvil, eh i just use nero for that
[01:21] <Wiesshund> sindegra, it doesnt, its a left over from his 10.4 full install
[01:21] <BidaBoy> when i try to use fbi (image and pdf viewer in cosole) i get this message : 'open /dev/fb0 no such file or directory' can any one help me?
[01:21] <redvil> wiesshund: do they have nero for ubuntu?
[01:21] <Wiesshund> redvil, not really but wine...
[01:21] <zaspan> ilovefairuz, if I am using insmod right then it works. I used it like this: insmode k10temp.ko
[01:21] <econdudeawesome> sindegra I think its a holdover from the initial Ubuntu install (i installed the lubuntu-desktop package afterwards). Problem is gnome-volume-control says I have no sounds installed
[01:22] <redvil> wiesshund: thnx
[01:22] <sindegra> econdudeawesome: aha.
[01:22] <ilovefairuz> zaspan: then mv  the module  to /lib/`uname -r`/modules  and add it to /etc/modules
[01:22] <econdudeawesome> sindegra where would you start looking?
[01:23] <Oer> redvil, nero is a paid app, maybe this is any help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DVD%3A%3ARip
[01:23] <Chaorain> I'm having  some problems. I have a Dell Xps M1730 and I can't get the wifi to work. "rfkill List" says that the device is hardware disabled. Is there anything I can do about this?
[01:23] <Wiesshund> econdudeawesome, i found some web posts where people did the same thing but none of the posts had a resolution, that didnt entail putting the full version back
[01:23] <redvil> oer: will look that one up too..thnx
[01:23] <sindegra> econdudeawesome: I'd try and figure out how gnome implements sounds themes, try to find the appropriate file and delete the entries
[01:23] <econdudeawesome> Wiesshund yeah, I saw some of those posts
[01:23] <BidaBoy> when i try to use fbi (image and pdf viewer in cosole) i get this message : 'open /dev/fb0 no such file or directory' can any one help me?
[01:24] <Wiesshund> econdudeawesome, silly idea but can you uninstal the themes?
[01:24] <ilovefairuz> Chaorain: lshw -C network
[01:24] <ilovefairuz> Chaorain: pastebin output
[01:24] <econdudeawesome> Wiesshund I'd like to, not sure how
[01:24] <econdudeawesome> cause I think that would compeltely take care of the problem, and I never use them anyway
[01:24] <Wiesshund> econdudeawesome,  see if you can find them in the package manager?
[01:25] <BidaBoy> i repeat, when i try to use fbi (image and pdf viewer in cosole) i get this message : 'open /dev/fb0 no such file or directory' can any one help me?
[01:25] <redvil> oer: does lucid support it? it only says the latest release is for 8.04..
[01:25] <ilovefairuz> !patience | BidaBoy
[01:25] <BidaBoy> ok, i waiting
[01:26] <ActionParsnip> BidaBoy: you need to use framebuffer for console
[01:26] <BidaBoy> ActionParsnip, how
[01:26] <Chaorain> ilovefairuz: ok It will be a bit because I have to reboot to that os
[01:27] <ActionParsnip> BidaBoy: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/     use the guide until the youtube video
[01:28] <BidaBoy> ActionParsnip, ok thanks
[01:28] <ActionParsnip> BidaBoy: its also how to get a decent res for plymouth under proprietary drivers
[01:29] <BidaBoy> ActionParsnip: ok

[01:31] <ActionParsnip> jerald: the ppa does have a lucid folder, even has maverick too
[01:31] <ilovefairuz> FNi: rdesktop
[01:32] <econdudeawesome> Wiendhuss, sigendra--all sounds are stored in /usr/share/sounds--I can take it from there :-D
[01:32] <jerald> I'm new to this system.. sorry I don't get you guys.. here is  the link http://paste.ubuntu.com/468663/
[01:32] <Wiesshund> econdudeawesome, cool
[01:33] <sindegra> econdudeawesome: are sound themes maybe being implemented by pulseaudio>
[01:33] <jerald> ActionParsnip, how can I fix this
[01:33] <sindegra> econdudawesome: alright then.
[01:33] <econdudeawesome> sindegra possibly
[01:33] <melkor> Has anybody here had luck using fglrx drivers + 2.6.34 kernel?
[01:33] <ActionParsnip> jerald: I just added the PPA and it updated ok. how did you add the ppa?
[01:34] <sindegra> econdudeawesome: you would have that because you converted from ubuntu to lubuntu
[01:34] <econdudeawesome> sindegra yes
[01:34] <jerald> I think when I update to create a dock.. not so familiar with it.. what's ppa?
[01:34] <eyes_only> psmouse.c resync failed, latest update, anyone have a quick hack for synaptics touchpad?
[01:35] <jerald> ActionParsnip, I don't know what is ppa
[01:35] <ActionParsnip> jerald: its the thing you added to install the theme from
[01:35] <zaspan> ilovefairuz, thx that worked but if I am guessing correctly i will have to do this procedure every time a new kernel arrives
[01:36] <jerald> ActionParsnip, I just drag the folder to the theme box then automatically install the theme..
[01:36] <ActionParsnip> jerald: you added an extra software source to then install the theme from didnt you?
[01:36] <ilovefairuz> zaspan: yeah recompile
[01:36] <ActionParsnip> jerald: click System -> Administration -> Software Sources
[01:36] <FNi> ilovefairuz: that worked perfectly. thanks!
[01:37] <ActionParsnip> jerald: then remove the repo you added
[01:37] <ilovefairuz> FNi: you're welcome
[01:37] <ActionParsnip> jerald: it's the elementary art one which you want to remove
[01:37] <metalgeek> ActionParsnip, Hi,
[01:37] <jerald> ActionParsnip, everything is in lucid
[01:37] <Ace2> ilovefairuz, Ok, I went through the process again to reinstall grub. Now I'm getting on restart: Minimal BASH- like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible device or file completions.
[01:37] <ActionParsnip> jerald: what do you mean?
[01:37] <ilovefairuz> zaspan: google dkms
[01:38] <ActionParsnip> metalgeek: howdy
[01:38] <lumberjack[> hey, abit offtopic here, but are there any mirc packages with extra tools included? recommend some plz ;)
[01:38] <`Assassin> How do I do a really minimal ubuntu install?
[01:38] <Ace2> ilovefairuz, Then it has grub> with a flashing prompt after it
[01:38] <jerald> ActionParsnip, the elementary theme is supported with ubuntu lucid main
[01:38] <metalgeek> ActionParsnip, Install was smooth as silk, now for the bit I have no idea about, GRUB?
[01:39] <ilovefairuz> Ace2: normally, if ubuntu is on sda1, it would have booted right into it
[01:39] <rww> lumberjack[: try ##mirc
[01:39] <ActionParsnip> jerald: yes, I know. I'm getting you to remove it so we can readd it
[01:39] <ActionParsnip> metalgeek: will you please quit just latching onto me just because I'm here
[01:39] <jerald> ActionParsnip, so which one I should remove?
[01:39] <Ace2> I unhooked the other drives. There is only one drive left so I know it's right
[01:39] <ActionParsnip> metalgeek: ask the channel like everybody else, if I have a solution I will reply
[01:39] <ActionParsnip> jerald: the elementary theme one

[01:40] <Niglop> are there any video editing software in linux that work the same as sony vegas?
[01:40] <Ace2> ilovefairuz, My home folder is encrypted. Is there a way for me to access it to save my files? I'll just reinstall the whole system
[01:41] <sindegra> econdudeawesome: you might have already solved your problem but sound-theme-freedesktop seems to do sound themes
[01:41] <ridin> ok, when downloading large files my wireless adapter downloads it for a bit and then 'gives up'
[01:41] <metalgeek> ActionParsnip, **latching** You said always happy to help, if your here ask you, so i have, don't worry, won't bother again. Didn't realise it was upsetting you
[01:41] <ActionParsnip> Niglop: http://techcityinc.com/2009/02/04/top-10-free-video-editors-for-ubuntu-linux/    no idea about sony vegas, if its a firewire interface it should be fine
[01:41] <sindegra> econdudeawesome: uninstalling that might solve it in a more elegant matter
[01:42] <jerald> ActionParsnip, now i know how to see thanks.. so what now I will just unchecked the box.. or remove?
[01:42] <ActionParsnip> metalgeek: its just a bit imposing
[01:42] <ActionParsnip> jerald: get it removed, i'll give you the command I ran to add it in again
[01:43] <metalgeek> I have installed windows to a different drive in my ubuntu box, i have no idea how to configure GRUB as am complete noob so any help would be appreciated, Cheers everyone

[01:48] <ilovefairuz> ridin: is it a usb one? lsusb

[01:48] <Dr_Willis> metalgeek:  in theory. You rerun 'sudo update-grub' and it 'should' see and add a proper grub menu item for windows - reguardless of what hard drive windows is instgalled on.
[01:48] <ionut> which is the best way to install system sounds for my ubuntu 10.04?
[01:48] <CkhiKuzad> I have the window-picker applet for my gnome panel, which allows the windows to have little tab close things on them, and on a screenshot, i saw that it could get rid of the top bar of a window when it was maximized, how do i set this to be able to work?
[01:49] <metalgeek> Dr_Willis, Thanks
[01:49] <ridin> ilovefairuz: http://pastebin.com/n3aWmMZz
[01:49] <Dr_Willis> CkhiKuzad:  theres some panel applets that let you do that. I forget the names however.
[01:49] <Dr_Willis> CkhiKuzad:  they are not in the normal reposiutories.
[01:49] <melkor> using the system/hardwar to install fglrx fails to install

[01:53] <scrote> hi
[01:53] <Dr_Willis> ionut:  ive never seen any alternative sound themes.. its like that part of the OS/gui/confuigs.. sort of got ignored.. you got the default and 'none'  last i looked.
[01:53] <Chaorain> ilovefairuz: the wifi light does flash, The bluetooth is also controlled by this swith and it stays on, if that makes a difference
[01:53] <scrote> is $-L the variable for libraries?
[01:54] <ionut> Dr_Willis: but you can install others?
[01:54] <jerald> ActionParsnip, http://www.pastie.org/1058829
[01:54] <ionut> Dr_Willis: isn't that?
[01:54] <coz_> ionte, in all honesy I personally shut of all sounds :0
[01:54] <ilovefairuz> Chaorain: so the indicator is on but no difference?
[01:54] <Guest24256> how can i remove limewire from edubuntu
[01:54] <Dr_Willis> ionut:  ive never seen a way. never really noticed..  i use 'no sounds'
[01:54] <aeroba> all my files in the root directory are showing up as text files
[01:54] <Dr_Willis> Guest24256:  if it was installed via the package manager.. use the packaghe manager to remove it
[01:54] <Chaorain> ilovefairuz: Bluetooth: yes Wifi: no
[01:55] <coz_> ionut,     http://ubuntu-art.org/content/show.php/%22Borealis%22+sound+theme?content=12584
[01:55] <ionut> Dr_Willis: i have installed some sound themes. but i want a good one (like a person that says "hello boss" :)) or sth like that )
[01:55] <ilovefairuz> Chaorain: one light for both of them?
[01:55] <jrib> aeroba: how are you making that determination?  Where exactly?
[01:55] <coz_> ionte,   I am sure there are sound themes out there.... why I dont know :)
[01:55] <Darklord6229> what is the command for the terminal to find out what my wireless card is and the info about it
[01:55] <Dr_Willis> ionut:  ive never seen any. or tried any..  not seen a tool to change the sound themes wither..
[01:55] <jerald> coz_,  help me with this http://www.pastie.org/1058829
[01:55] <ilovefairuz> ridin: lsmod
[01:56] <ionut> coz_: for ubuntu is ogg?
[01:56] <Guest24256> cant find it
[01:56] <ilovefairuz> Darklord6229: lshw - C network
[01:56] <aeroba> jrib: well, when I open up rox-filer, all  my files show up as text icons, and when I click to open them, they open as empty text files
[01:56] <ActionParsnip> jerald: great, ok run: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list   and change:  deb repo.offensive-security.com/dist/bt4 binary/    to:   deb http://repo.offensive-security.com/dist/bt4 binary/
[01:56] <coz_> ionut,   I believe they are .ogg files
[01:56] <Chaorain> ilovefairuz: no, two seperate lights but one switch for both
[01:56] <jrib> aeroba: and if you use nautilus?
[01:56] <ActionParsnip> jerald: save the new file then run: sudo apt-get update       why you'd want to use that PPA is anyones guess
[01:56] <coz_> jerald,   that is your sources list ...yes?  what help do you need with it?
[01:56] <ionut> coz_: the fastest way to install it is to copy it in the sounds directory?
[01:57] <ridin> ilovefairuz: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=Ta8VK3tU
[01:57] <bock> Why do all my jpeg files coming from the built in card reader show up distorted? I can view them fine with imageviewer but when uploading to facebook still distorted.
[01:57] <aeroba> jrib: I use both natilus and rox
[01:57] <coz_> ionut,  that is where i used to place my own sounds i would create .. I assume it is in the same place   just be sure you rename the files if t hey are not renamed already to match which sounds go with which events
[01:58] <jrib> aeroba: if you use nautilus is the strange behavior also present?  Can you give an example of a specific file?
[01:58] <ionut> coz_: ya. got that. thanks man
[01:58] <coz_> jerald,   you still there??
[01:58] <jerald> yeah done
[01:58] <ActionParsnip> jerald: is it any better now?
[01:58] <coz_> ionut,  if the sound theme creators are "good"  then the sounds should already be named properly for the respecitve events
[01:59] <jerald> Coz_, yeah I'm here
[01:59] <coz_> jerald,  ok I see this is your sources list   yes??  waht is the issue?
[01:59] <jerald> ActionParsnip, I'll try to update
[01:59] <bock> why are jpeg files distorted do they need to be imported
[01:59] <aeroba> jrib: Yes, jrib, the strange behavior is still present. For example, I right click on a tar.gz file that I just downloaded, check its properties, and see that under properties the tar.gz file is text
[01:59] <ActionParsnip> jerald: cool, once you get that square, I'll give the command to install the theme
[01:59] <ionut> coz_: ya, maybe they think if everything is done like from default , nowone will open and watch all the files...
[02:00] <coz_> bock,  depends on the resolution of jpeg images  some can be very pixelated if the resolution is low
[02:00] <jrib> aeroba: what does the « file » program in a terminal say about it?
[02:00] <ilovefairuz> Chaorain: tail -f /var/log/messages while you flip the switch
[02:00] <bock> they came off my 10.3 nikon
[02:00] <aeroba> jrib: what do you mean by <<file>> program?
[02:00] <Chaorain> ilovefairuz: ok, I have to reboot again
[02:00] <jrib> aeroba: open a terminal, type "file PATH_TO_YOUR_TAR.GZ"
[02:00] <coz_> bock,  mm  and I assume they have a high res  ...the camera is above 5 megapixels ?
[02:00] <bock> coz: yeah for sure
[02:01] <jerald> ActionParsnip, I got another issue.. I can't go to update.. it says could not  initialize the package information
[02:01] <jerald> ActionParsnip, the one we changed..
[02:01] <bock> coz: 10.3m
[02:01] <coz_> bock,  this may not work but could you take a screenshot of the distorted image and upload to picpaste.com
[02:01] <ActionParsnip> jerald: can you pastebin the output of: sudo apt-get update     thanks
[02:02] <jerald> E: Type 'http://repo.offensive-security.com/dist/bt4' is not known on line 55 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:02] <jerald> jerald@jerald-Mobile:~$
[02:03] <bastidrazor> jerald: you should join #backtrack-linux
[02:03] <aeroba> jrib: funny, it says "cannot open '/root/downloads/zim-0.48.tar.gz (no such file or directory)
[02:03] <coz_> jerald,  then place a  #  in front of that   #deb repo.offensive-security.com/dist/bt4 binary/
[02:03] <coz_>    and try to update again
[02:03] <jerald> basicer, yeah I love backtrack.. I still have to fix my ubuntu
[02:03] <ilovefairuz> ridin: looks like a driver bug
[02:03] <ilovefairuz> !bug | ridin
[02:03] <jrib> aeroba: then there's no such file.  Why do you have stuff like that in /root anyway?
[02:03] <Gackt> can anyone link me to an update "install from usb" guide? please
[02:04] <coz_> bock,  did you upload that screenshot?
[02:04] <john> hello, Ubuntu server 10.04, mpd up and running, but no audio output.
[02:04] <jrib> aeroba: Anyway, zim is in the repositories, why aren't you using APT?
[02:04] <bastidrazor> jerald: then remove the line that you just pasted from your /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:04] <bock> coz: sorry working on it one sec
[02:05] <coz_> bock,  oh ok :)
[02:05] <ActionParsnip> jerald: sounds like that repo is a bit whack
[02:05] <aeroba> jrib: but its there. I had to save it somewhere, I usually untar my tarballs and then configure and such. I tried right-clicking in rox and clicked terminal here, wrote the file name, -it recognizes it
[02:05] <coz_> bock,  pick a photo you dont mind sharing publicly
[02:05] <bastidrazor> jerald: mixing repositories is the perfect way to break things.
[02:05] <jrib> aeroba: did you see the last thing I said?
[02:06] <ActionParsnip> jerald: I just tried to browse to the repo in my browser and it failed
[02:06] <Craig`> how do I change my resolution? i went system->pref->display, my monitor is unknown (i'm on laptop) and the only available resolutions are 800x600 and 640x480, i want 1024 :(
[02:06] <ridin> ilovefairuz, what should i put?\
[02:06] <ActionParsnip> Craig`: what video card?

[02:06] <coz_> Craig`,  lspci | grep -i vga
[02:07] <midas__> hello. how do i enable rhythmbox to encode mp3? what do i have to install?
[02:07] <ilovefairuz> !install | Gackt
[02:07] <Craig`> :00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 10)
[02:07] <ductTapeDJ> This one should be easy: I just installed ubuntu 10.4 on a computer already running Windows 7 and I want to know the easiest way to share files between the two OS's.
[02:07] <Craig`> 01:00.0*
[02:07] <bastidrazor> midas__: probably ubuntu-restricted-extras
[02:07] <ActionParsnip> ductTapeDJ: linux can write and read to NTFS
[02:07] <ductTapeDJ> what's that?
[02:07] <coz_> midas__,    ffmpeg would be the first thing to install
[02:07] <ilovefairuz> ridin: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug/?no-redirect
[02:08] <aeroba> jrib: now I did. Yes, I did download the .deb file, but it didn't run...so I thought I'd compile to see what the problem was
[02:08] <ActionParsnip> ductTapeDJ: what's what?
[02:08] <ductTapeDJ> what's ntfs?
[02:08] <jrib> aeroba: I didn't say to download a deb file
[02:08] <trojan_spike> great question would be how to access ubuntu files from windows 7.. i still havnt got that yrt :(
[02:08] <Dr_Willis> ductTapeDJ:  the windows 'drive' shold show up in the  places/computer/media area.
[02:08] <Dr_Willis> !ntfs | ductTapeDJ
[02:08] <jrib> aeroba: do you know about APT?
[02:08] <trojan_spike> yet
[02:08] <ductTapeDJ> ooh! I didn't think to check there
[02:08] <ActionParsnip> ductTapeDJ: its the crap file system windows uses
[02:08] <Dr_Willis> ductTapeDJ:  ntfs is the filesystem that windows uses.
[02:08] <ductTapeDJ> okay I'll restart and try again.
[02:08] <coz_> Craig`,  ooo sis
[02:08] <bastidrazor> ubottu: tell trojan_spike about samba
[02:08] <aeroba> jrib: you said to go get it from the repository, correct?
[02:08] <jerald> ActionParsnip, it's working.. finally
[02:08] <lumberjack[> windows whats that?
[02:08] <jrib> aeroba: I said to use APT
[02:08] <ductTapeDJ> yeah I installed ubuntu as a backup in case windows craps out
[02:08] <coz_> Craig`,  mmm  you need th sis drive for that card
[02:08] <ActionParsnip> jerald: cool, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2009/12/elementary-theme-gets-ppa.html
[02:08] <bock> coz: that might have worked the thumbnails where distorted when uploading but the preview was correct and the pic uploaded correct thanks man
[02:09] <ductTapeDJ> I understand ubuntu is better overall but my games run on windows :(
[02:09] <ActionParsnip> jerald: if you mess up your sources file you will get issues
[02:09] <ductTapeDJ> anyway, thanks for the help!
[02:09] <Craig`> coz_, where can one obtain that?
[02:09] <Craig`> i googled, heh
[02:09] <coz_> Craig`,  hold on I think I have one archived if not let me google it hold on
[02:09] <jerald> bastidrazor, your next.. how can I run backtrack on ubuntu?
[02:09] <bock> coz: one more quick one how do i make the open gl version of the cairo dock open on startup
[02:09] <ActionParsnip> jerald: backtrack isnt supported here
[02:10] <jerald> ActionParsnip, thanks fro the tip..
[02:10] <bastidrazor> jerald: in a virtual machine?
[02:10] <jrib> aeroba: do you understand what to do?
[02:10] <coz_> bock,   you can go  into system/preferences/ startup applicatons    and put in  cairo-dock -o   as the command
[02:10] <jerald> ActionParsnip, sorry..
[02:10] <aeroba> jrib: you mean apt-get? yes
[02:10] <jrib> aeroba: if you prefer to use apt-get, sure.  Use that
[02:10] <jerald> bastidrazor, do you have email?
[02:10] <bastidrazor> jerald: not that i am going to give you. sorry.
[02:10] <bock> coz: you awesome thanks bro are those your thems
[02:10] <aeroba> but I really want to see my files....all I see are text
[02:11] <UberN00b> hey guys, does anyone know how can i uninstall office 2007 along with wine ?
[02:11] <jerald> bastidrazor, heheheh evil.. pure evil..
[02:11] <jrib> aeroba: Okay, but to install zim, use APT.  In any case, it seems the file doesn't exist.  Pastebin « ls /root/downloads »
[02:11] <Dr_Willis> UberN00b:  Uninstall? You can just use its uninstaller icon (that should be in the wine menus) or delete the whole .wine dir if you wanted to go extreme
[02:12] <bastidrazor> jerald: do you know what backtrack is?
[02:12] <jerald> ActionParsnip, don't worry If I mess up.. you guys can help.. every time you help me.. I am learning. every little issue every little answer is knowlege..
[02:12] <ActionParsnip> UberN00b: run: uninstaller   you can remove office there, then you can run: sudo apt-get --purge remove wine    then to remove it ALL, run: rm -r ~/.wine
[02:13] <UberN00b> Dr_Willis would that uninstall the office as well ?
[02:13] <aeroba> jrib: so there's nothing I can do? because it's not just the tar file I can't see. It's also everything in /root/desktop
[02:13] <jrib> aeroba: you can do what I asked I guess...
[02:13] <ActionParsnip> jerald: indeed, every day is a school day
[02:13] <jerald> bastidrazor, I know what it can do.. but don't know how to operate.. that is why I use ubuntu first to familiarize linux..
[02:13] <onur> Hi. I am trying to use Ubuntu in a chroot environment in Debian. Debian using /tmp/.X11-unix socket for Xorg but Ubuntu using a different one. How can I set Ubuntu to use /tmp/.X11-unix file to use X socket?
[02:13] <coz_> Craig`,  let me check my storage drives hold on
[02:13] <Craig`> thanks
[02:13] <jerald> ActionParsnip, I love messing my machine.. :D every thing you just said today.. I jot down notes.. lols.. now I know.. :D
[02:14] <bastidrazor> jerald: it is an OS similiar to Ubuntu.. meaning you have to install it just like you did ubuntu. you can not run backtrack on Ubuntu.
[02:14] <ilovefairuz> onur: ln -s?
[02:14] <Dr_Willis> UberN00b:  would what? in most cases stuff you run/install via wine.. installs to the .wine directory. thats how wine works by default.
[02:14] <aeroba> jrib: you mean type file in terminal?
[02:14] <UberN00b> ActionParship how ? I tried with Alt+F2 the output was no such file or directory
[02:14] <onur> ilovefairuz: but which location?
[02:14] <jrib> aeroba: No, you already told me you ran file.  Pastebin « ls /root/downloads ».
[02:14] <UberN00b> Dr_Willis, oh thanks then i'll just  uninstall wine
[02:14] <ActionParsnip> UberN00b: run it in terminal
[02:15] <Dr_Willis> UberN00b:  thats not what i said..
[02:15] <ActionParsnip> UberN00b: uninstalling wine will leave the app still installed in ~/.wine which you will need to delete
[02:15] <Dr_Willis> UberN00b:  if you uninstall the 'wine' program friom the pacakge manager. it will NOT clean out your .wine dir
[02:15] <bock> why wont my fan controllers work either like thinkfan
[02:15] <midas__>  what codecs do I need to install to be able to encode mp3 on rhytmbox
[02:15] <Chaorain> ilovefairuz: back, http://pastebin.com/gYXnVS7g
[02:15] <jerald> bastidrazor, I know.. it's backtract 4 which is the latest.. but there was this blog I read about.. it was ubutu 8.04 I think.. that they installed backtract3.. I don't know.. I forgot..
[02:16] <Bogus8> Ok, running Server 10.4 and I had this problem before but I had done dist-upgrade and it was thought that was the problem... So I reinstalled.  Now I'm getting the same error... when I shut down and reboot I get "unexpected inconsistency; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
[02:16] <Bogus8> What gives?
[02:16] <coz_> Craig`,  I have not used these in some time so I cannot guarantee they work   http://ncc-1701a.homelinux.net/~linux-sis/index.php?page=Downloads
[02:16] <ActionParsnip> midas__: install ubuntu-restricted-extras and you should be ok
[02:16] <ilovefairuz> onur:  /tmp/.X11-unix/X0
[02:16] <Bogus8> I was running just fine and shut down clean
[02:16] <coz_> Craig`,  but let me keep searching as well
[02:16] <aeroba> jrib: then what?
[02:16] <jrib> aeroba: give me the url
[02:16] <coz_> Craig`,    http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/lucid/xserver-xorg-video-sis
[02:16] <ActionParsnip> Bogus8: boot to liveCD and fsck the partition
[02:16] <midas__> ActionParsnip, thx, installing...
[02:16] <ActionParsnip> !backtrack | jerald
[02:17] <coz_> Craig`,  that second link would be more reliable
[02:17] <UberN00b> Dr_Willis oh i just found the "uninstall wine software"  button :D  that might do the work, thanks :)
[02:17] <aeroba> jrib: it's not doing anything, it just prints >
[02:17] <UberN00b> ActionParsnip oh i just found the "uninstall wine software"  button :D  that might do the work, thanks :)
[02:17] <coz_> Craig`,    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Sis
[02:17] <jrib> aeroba: what did you type?
[02:17] <Craig`> thanks
[02:17] <bock> what a good fan controller?
[02:17] <Bogus8> ActionParsnip: I have done that last time I had the problem and it seemed to fix it but then upon reboot it came up again... I am now at my buddy's installing the system and just d/l a live cd to try to repair it again... will attempt that but I don't have much fait in it
[02:17] <ActionParsnip> bock: in what sense
[02:17] <onur> ilovefairuz: It's debian's socket file. Ubuntu looking somewhere else for this file. I am searching this location. (sorry for bad english)
[02:17] <aeroba> pastebin <<ls root/downloads>>
[02:17] <bastidrazor> jerald: as ActionParsnip indicates backtrack is not supported here. we will not be able to help you with it.that includes installing. #backtrack-linux would be the proper channel.
[02:18] <jrib> aeroba: the «» are for your benefit.  You don't type them
[02:18] <ActionParsnip> Bogus8: be sure to md5 test the iso ;)
[02:18] <jrib> aeroba: press ctrl-c and try again
[02:18] <coz_> Craig`,   try to get the .deb package for the sys driver....one warning  you wont be able to run something like compiz with that though
[02:18] <jerald> ubottu, I don't have time for other os.. I need to know UBUNTU as of now.. nothing more..
[02:18] <onur> ilovefairuz: Can you or someone paste netstat -x output if you are using ubuntu lucid?
[02:18] <Craig`> I don't think I use compiz
[02:18] <jrib> aeroba: and that's also not what I told you to type
[02:18] <bock> ActionParsnip: like I want to oveclock the cpu fans cause its 112 where im at
[02:19] <aeroba> jrib: it's not?
[02:19] <Craig`> coz_, sorry to be a noob but which .deb should I get? (i thought there would be a simple command for this :P)
[02:19] <Dr_Willis> bock:  is that 112F or C ? :)
[02:19] <ActionParsnip> bock: then i'd ask in ##hardware
[02:19] <jrib> aeroba: no scroll up.
[02:19] <jerald> bastidrazor,  thanks..  @ all.. guys.. thanks for the help.. I need to get up and have my breakfast already..
[02:19] <Bogus8> ActionParsnip: ugh... it's at my house.... could that really be the problem?  Why wouldn't I have seen this issue before?
[02:19] <aeroba> OH
[02:19] <coz_> Craig`,  well not sure    you have to find out if your system is 32 bit or 64 bit before deciding which package to use  and that ubuntu link should be read fully first
[02:19] <jerald> @ all: I'll be back for another issue.. hehehhe
[02:19] <ActionParsnip> Bogus8: if the system says then i'd do it
[02:20] <bock> 112F outside cpu is just getting really hot wondering if there was an easy program to control the fans
[02:20] <Craig`> coz_ 64bit
[02:20] <ActionParsnip> jerald: not for backtrack here
[02:20] <ActionParsnip> bock: the kernel will handle it
[02:20] <coz_> Craig`,  ok open synaptic package manager
[02:20] <Dr_Willis> bock:  I always go the lazy route . and take off the side of the case and get a big desk fan.
[02:20] <coz_> Craig`,  then hit the search button and type in  xserver xorg video sis
[02:20] <Bogus8> ActionParsnip: if the system says what?  I'll fsck it for sure... but you think the syftem ? telling me to check the install CD for defects?
[02:20] <coz_> Craig`,  it may or may not be there let me check here
[02:21] <ActionParsnip> Bogus8: if the system is saying the partition needs fscking then i'd do it
[02:21] <Craig`> http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/xserver-xorg-video-sis ?
[02:21] <Craig`> then i'm guessing i'm wanting the amd64 one?
[02:21] <onur> ilovefairuz: Looks like my problem is completely different. Sorry for waste your time.
[02:21] <bock> Dr_Willis: Yeah that works for sure
[02:21] <coz_> Craig`,  it looks like it is already in the repositories
[02:21] <lemonade_> morning
[02:22] <coz_> Craig`,  open up synaptic package manager   hit the Search button and type in  xserver xorg vieo sis
[02:22] <ActionParsnip> Bogus8: if you boot the CD and press space when the stickman shows you can check the cd for defects, also check the iso for issues using md5sum before burning so you know the iso is consistant and complete
[02:22] <bock> ActionParsnip: Really thats cool I install thinkfan and thought it would allow me too
[02:22] <hiexpo> coz_,  even if system is 64 you will be happier with 32 :)
[02:22] <Bogus8> ActionParsnip: right... I will... I jus know I had this EXACT error on this system before and it wouldn't help.
[02:22] <coz_> Craig`,  and yes you want the amd64  one
[02:22] <coz_> hiexpo,  oh its not for me  guy  :)
[02:23] <jrib> aeroba: any progress?
[02:23] <hiexpo> coz_,  oh ok sorry
[02:23] <Bogus8> ActionParsnip: right... but install ent very smooth... I've been using the  fotemy buddy's needs... just when I rebooted it flipped out.
[02:23] <coz_> Craig`,  as long as you installed the 64 bit ubuntu version then use that 64 bit package and when it installs you MUST reboot the system
[02:23] <aeroba> jrib: nope.
[02:23] <pfifo> has anyone figured out a way to stream shows over ustream.tv using ubuntu yet?
[02:23] <Bogus8> 's needs... just when I rebooted it flipped out.
[02:23] <jrib> aeroba: so you weren't able to run the command I told you to run and pastebin it?  What are you having trouble with?
[02:23] <Craig`> coz_, the package is already installed
[02:24] <Craig`> apparantly
[02:24] <coz_> Craig`,  mmmm
[02:24] <aeroba> jrib: running the pastebin command itself
[02:24] <Bogus8> wow... I got some serious lag to my system and it's causing some typo's... sorry
[02:24] <ShapeShifter499> hi
[02:24] <jrib> !pastebin | aeroba
[02:24] <coz_> Craig`,  let me check on the ubuntu how to
[02:24] <ShapeShifter499> I've lost all sound on my ubuntu 10.04 64 bit system how do I fix this
[02:25] <DareDevil01> Hi i need to know how to set a module to load every time a reboot
[02:25] <pfifo> ShapeShifter499, hi, run alsamixer form the command line and check that everything is unmuted
[02:26] <ShapeShifter499> pfifo: it says "cannot open mixer: No such file or directory"
[02:26] <adamkex> DareDevil01: add your module to this file /etc/modules
[02:26] <coz_> Craig`,  here is another hit  on google    http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-sis-771671-mirage-3-video-drivers-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid.html  I have no idea if this is valid or not
[02:26] <pfifo> ShapeShifter499, was sound woring after you installed?
[02:26] <DareDevil01> adamkex thank you
[02:26] <jrib> aeroba: are you actually doing this or should I go do something else?
[02:26] <ShapeShifter499> pfifo: did it somehow get deleted?
[02:27] <adamkex> DareDevil01: you're welcome
[02:27] <ShapeShifter499> pfifo: sound on my system was working up till today
[02:27] <UberN00b> ActionParsnip ermm, how do i run the uninstaller in terminal again ? XD
[02:27] <PDG1> so I believe it was actionParsnip that helped me last time... but either way. I was having some video issues and it was suggested i look for more information on the video card i had. I found some information but i cant understand it.
[02:27] <Craig`> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[02:27] <Craig`> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[02:27] <jrib> PDG1: no one can help you after reading that.
[02:27] <hentai7> how can I get my resolution higher? its only at 640*480 and the monitor can do more, installed nvidia driver for gfx card, before with no driver it was 800*600 now its worse, any manual way
[02:28] <coz_> Craig`,  is that a terminal read out?
[02:28] <Craig`> yeah
[02:28] <PDG1> jrib, you're right...
[02:28] <coz_> Craig_Dem,  close synaptic package manager
[02:28] <Craig`> two minutes though, i didn't download a file
[02:28] <Craig`> righto, thanks
[02:28] <pfifo> ShapeShifter499, if I was in your position I would just reinstall, in my experience trouble shooting sound problems is a big hassle.
[02:28] <aeroba> jrib: thanks for trying to help. feel free to move onto something else. it looks like my bash doesn't have pastebin. sorry for wasting your time.
[02:28] <jrib> PDG1: you're goal should be to write something that someone can read and then help you (use pastebin if you need to include logs or errors and the like)
[02:28] <ShapeShifter499> pfifo: reinstall? the WHOLE system?
[02:28] <ductTapeDJ> hey again
[02:28] <ductTapeDJ> so... yes and no.
[02:29] <machete> hey, I want to mount swap partition
[02:29] <jrib> aeroba: it's not a command, you just open a web browser, copy and paste what is in your terminal, hit submit, give the url
[02:29] <PDG1> jrib, it was a mistake :P I understand what i did wrong
[02:29] <machete> what's the filesystem type contraction?
[02:29] <pfifo> ShapeShifter499, its probbally quicker than trying to track down the issue and then attempting to fix it.
[02:29] <ductTapeDJ> Thanks for the advice, I can move files from windows into ubuntu now... but ubuntu doesn't see my internet connection. How do I set up wireless?
[02:29] <ductTapeDJ> I know the SSID and WEP password, but there's all this weird "VPN" stuff that windows cleverly hides from me
[02:29] <ductTapeDJ> and now I'm lost.
[02:30] <machete> what's the command to mount a swap filesystem?
[02:30] <Muelli> machete: mount.
[02:30] <ilovefairuz> Chaorain: try ..  sudo echo 0 > /sys/class/net/wlan0/device/rf_kill ... sudo ifconfig wlan0 up ... iwlist wlan0 scan... this should show you available networks.. if not, it could be a hardware issue https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/230844
[02:30] <machete> mount /dev/sdxx /mnt -t ....?
[02:30] <Muelli> machete: bullshit
[02:30] <Muelli> machete: swapon, sorry.
[02:30] <bastidrazor> ilovefairuz: that will not work > will eat your sudo
[02:30] <adamkex> pwned
[02:31] <ilovefairuz> bastidrazor: you're correct
[02:31] <ductTapeDJ> Chaorain, should I try that too?
[02:31] <aeroba> jrib: so I go to the pastebin.ca website, and paste ls /root/downloads?
[02:31] <ironfoot495> Hello I havew a problem getting ubuntu 9.10 to send error messages to my email address. I do HAVE THUNDERBIRD WORKING BUT WHEN i TRY TO USE A PHP ERROR PROGRAM IT WONT SEND IT TO MY EMAIL? Can someone help me troubleshoot this?
[02:31] <Chaorain> ilovefairuz: Alright, I'll give it a try
[02:31] <ilovefairuz> Chaorain: sudo su -, and type the commands without sudo
[02:31] <machete> Muelli, unknown filesystem type swapon
[02:31] <Bogus8> Ok... I just ran the fsck.ext4 check on the drives and it fixed them... then I reboot and it comes RIGHT back to the SAME errors!
[02:31] <hiexpo> with wep key should connect
[02:31] <ductTapeDJ> wait, how do I list available networks?
[02:31] <Muelli> machete: sorry. the command is swapon. not mount.
[02:31] <Bogus8> HELP PLEASE :(  I'm about to cry here... second time I've built this system
[02:32] <Chaorain> aeroba: I think you messanged the wrong guy
[02:32] <machete> oh I see
[02:32] <bastidrazor> ilovefairuz: bad idea... try echo 0 | sudo tee -a /sys/class/net/wlan0/device/rf_kill ..instead
[02:32] <ductTapeDJ> never mind I'll try back later.
[02:32] <ilovefairuz> bastidrazor: why a bad idea?
[02:32] <machete> thanks
[02:32] <bastidrazor> ilovefairuz: sudo su is a bad idea.. if you want a root bash session use sudo -i
[02:33] <PDG1> anyway.... I don't understand if i should follow these instructions or not because i'm not using jaunty http://paste.ubuntu.com/468676/
[02:33] <ilovefairuz> bastidrazor: hm you still didn't say the "why" but i'll google it
[02:33] <coz_> PDG1,  you could attemtp to replace the work jaunty  with lucid   its risky at best though
[02:34] <coz_> PDG1,  you definitly do NOT want to use the jaunty repository howev
[02:34] <oaf> http://pastebin.com/nDM1EsAJ
[02:34] <coz_> however
[02:35] <coz_> PDG1,  rather replace  jaunty with lucid in the repository link
[02:35] <PDG1> coz_, i was also thinking that...
[02:35] <coz_> PDG1,  just dont use the jautny repo
[02:35] <coz_> PDG1,   what is this for again?
[02:35] <nb72> Hi all.  I have ubuntu server setup.  I can ssh in using <IP_ADDRESS>.  how can I ssh in using the hostname?
[02:35] <oaf> coz_ http://pastebin.com/nDM1EsAJ
[02:35] <Bogus8> What the F is going on with this system?  I was able to tell i to continue to boot... now when I logged in it says "unable to add entry for user gilligan" then it dumps out a BUNCH of errors.  It has also mounted the / in RO and didn't mount a second drive (possibly due to that error)
[02:36] <coz_> oaf,   you probably didnt use   sudo for the commands
[02:36] <oaf> coz_ i try it
[02:36] <ilovefairuz> !language | Bogus8
[02:36] <PDG1> coz_, I'm not even sure if maybe I'm using the most up to date driver for karmic anyway
[02:36] <coz_> PDG1,  you are on karmic?
[02:36] <Bogus8> ilovefairuz: really?  I can't say "F"?
[02:36] <coz_> PDG1,  sorry to make you repeat but what is t his for again?
[02:37] <ilovefairuz> Bogus8: the whole phrase is not needed
[02:37] <oaf> coz_ invalid command after i use sudo
[02:38] <robertpayne> Is there any way to test cron job configuration files?
[02:38] <coz_> oaf,   ok start from the beginning...what are you doing?
[02:38] <Bogus8> ilovefairuz: well, Might be if you were on my end? :)
[02:38] <oaf> coz_ i want to put a file into that ftp server
[02:38] <PDG1> coz_, not really repeating, so it's okay :P... my display cuts out during video playback sometimes. I was directed to find something about the video card i have, 82865G (rev 02), and i found that wiki artivle
[02:38] <coz_> oaf,  oh  !!!  ok then you are talking with the wrong person for that  sorry
[02:39] <oaf> ....
[02:39] <coz_> PDG1,  and the read out of    lspci | grep -i vga

[02:47] <my_first> hello
[02:47] <my_first> I am a ubuntu starter
[02:48] <PDG1> coz_,  from what I've read already... it seems like it's something to do with 3D and 2D video not being displayed properly... which just gave me an idea
[02:48] <Mr_Sonoma> my_first, how can we help you?
[02:48] <Chaorain> ilovefairuz: I had a few typos but here it is, http://pastebin.com/aeFKHHbs

[02:51] <PDG1> coz_, and you're gone
[02:51] <Guest50770> could anyone here help me with an issue trying to play media files off a windows share
[02:54] <wiley> anyone know where I can get touchpad help for lucid on my macbook 5,1?
[02:55] <ShapeShifter499> is there a command I can run so a application would run the latest xulrunner no matter where its installed?   i.e.  "/usr/lib/xulrunner-<IP_ADDRESS>/xulrunner -app "/usr/lib/xulrunner-<IP_ADDRESS>/chatzilla/application.ini" ?
[02:57] <cornwallis> here is what i am trying to do: say i have a folder called /clientA and it has files in it on the local computer (server 1). I also have another server (server 2) on the same LAN that needs to share files across the network to that same folder "/clientA". will NFS be able to combine the files on that folder? can someone lead me in the correct direction?
[02:57] <ZykoticK9> wiley, don't know if you seen it already, but might help.  good luck https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro5-1_5-2/Lucid
[02:58] <wiley> thanks Zykotick.... been there and all around Google but can't seem to get it to behave like it does in OSX.... too sensitive
[02:58] <ZykoticK9> !tab > wiley
[02:59] <ZykoticK9> wiley, having to type ZykoticK9 is a pain.  Zy (TAB) is SO much easier.
[02:59] <Random832> cornwallis: so, what, some of the files in the folder are on the local computer and others are on the server?
[02:59] <Random832> could you mount it in a different directory and do a symlink
[03:00] <wiley> yep, thanks ZykoticK9 ... cool feature.  I haven't been on IRC in years
[03:00] <cornwallis> yes, correct. the files on server2 need to be available on server1 through that same folder. the software will not allow it to work in different folders
[03:00] <Random832> of course, tab completion has its own danger
[03:00] <Random832> zykes-: isn't that right?
[03:01] <ZykoticK9> Random832, +1
[03:01]  * Random832 is always getting mixed up with Randall on #xkcd
[03:02] <FNi> I'm trying to add a cifs share, but the remote share has a space in the name. How do I represent the space for mounting?
[03:02] <retour> c
[03:03] <ZykoticK9> FNi, you need to use a \ before the space to "escape" it
[03:03] <FNi> c?
[03:03] <thune3> cornwallis: i'm still no 100% clear on what you are trying to do. But the direction I would point you in is "aufs".
[03:03] <ZykoticK9> FNi, for\ example\ this\ is\ with\ spaces
[03:03] <FNi> ZykoticK9: gotcha. so "Server (E)" becomes "Server\ (E)"?
[03:04] <ZykoticK9> FNi, you got it ;)
[03:04] <ZykoticK9> FNi, no!
[03:04] <FNi> do i need to esscape the brackets too/
[03:04] <ZykoticK9> FNi, you need to escape the ( too
[03:04] <FNi> *escape
[03:04] <FNi> :D great minds
[03:04] <happyface> what controls the +tab shell auto completion?
[03:04] <ZykoticK9> FNi, "Server\ \(E\)" i think
[03:04] <FNi> thanks, will try it
[03:05] <cornwallis> i will read into that thune3. thanks
[03:05] <FNi> it's a horrible name for a share, but I don't have access to change it...
[03:06] <sweetpi> FNi: or depending on how your doing it, you can wrap it in quotes
[03:06] <ZykoticK9> sweetpi, +1 on the suggestion FNi
[03:07] <FNi> " or '?
[03:07] <ZykoticK9> FNi, "
[03:07] <FNi> ta
[03:07] <sweetpi> either actually
[03:07] <ZykoticK9> sweetpi, there is a difference between " and ' (don't ask me what it is though)
[03:08] <sweetpi> for shell, but some programs will only allow " in their config
[03:09] <Dr_Willis> we using spaces in share names in fstab? or did i miss somthing? :)
[03:10] <ZykoticK9> Dr_Willis, share name of samba, not sure where/how it's being used ;)
[03:10] <sweetpi> he didnt specify where exactly. im just blabbing :)
[03:10] <Dr_Willis> ZykoticK9:  well in fstab you dont quote the spaces. you have to use some other weird sequwence.
[03:11] <ZykoticK9> FNi, see above
[03:11] <Dr_Willis> a single quote is  i always think of as a 'more intense' quote :) vs
[03:11] <FNi> oh crap, yes it is for fstab
[03:11] <Dr_Willis> the " which lets programs still interperate/change things in teh quotes.
[03:12] <ZykoticK9> not to be confused with executing a subprogram ` ;)  muddying the waters further
[03:12] <Dr_Willis> FNi:  i was thinking it was like a sequence like 'name/040whatever' or somthing odd like that with a ###
[03:12] <Dr_Willis> ZykoticK9:  i always try to use $(subprogram) these days :)
[03:12] <sweetpi> FNi: then \040 is for spaces
[03:12]  * sweetpi is too slow
[03:13] <Dr_Willis> sweetpi:  there we go.. :) i never can rember that.
[03:13] <Dr_Willis> I had teh # right at least.
[03:13] <FNi> now i'm confused. is it \ or /?
[03:13] <Dr_Willis> Now WHY its \040  i never have figured out.
[03:13] <sweetpi> FNi: its \040
[03:13] <FNi> ta
[03:14] <FNi> and what about brackets, do they still need to be escaped too?
[03:14] <ZykoticK9> FNi, the \040 is NOT as escape character situation, it's an ANSI call or something
[03:14] <randy_> Dr_Willis: thats because 040 is octal for the space in ASCII
[03:14] <ZykoticK9> s\ANSI\ASCII
[03:14] <bp0> is there a ppa for nvidia drivers?
[03:15] <bp0> not the nvidia vdpau one
[03:15] <randy_> Dr_Willis: so, if you want to find a particular character that is not on you keyboard, you can just reference the ASCII table.
[03:15] <sweetpi> randy_: wouldnt that be 62 in octal?
[03:15] <ZykoticK9> bp0, that repo probably has the newest nvidia drivers packaged for ubuntu.  there may be others, good luck.
[03:16] <bp0> it doesn't have drivers, just the vdpau mplayer
[03:16] <sweetpi> nm getting my numbers mixed up
[03:16] <bp0> is there a ppa with the 25x.xxx series of nvidia drivers?
[03:17] <subone> Can anyone tell me what this line does in bash? `done < <( somecommand )`
[03:17] <codeshah> hey guys, my cron jobs keep beingloged to /var/mail/<user>
[03:17] <codeshah> how can I change this? I added a >> test.log but that didn't work :(
[03:17] <EruditeOgre> Anyone out there have experience with configuring a 10.04 install for power saving on a laptop? Running PowerTOP right now and it's telling me an audio device is active 100% of the time but I can't seem to figure out what is going on or how to fix it.
[03:18] <randy_> sweetpi: lets not overanalyze the *why* behind ASCII.  i just know that if i check on ascii-table.com that 040 is for space in octal
[03:19] <luis_> ayuda, alguien me pude ayudar a poner modo monitro Ubunu
[03:19] <luis_> ?
[03:19] <FNi> Is there a way to 'reboot' fstab so I can see if this worked?
[03:19] <sweetpi> randy_: yeah, i messed up. was thinking space was 32 in hex
[03:19] <enav1> hi people i wnat to see the hardware black list of ubuntu... give me a link pleas
[03:19] <its-me-again> FNi: never fstab an os when you are using it.
[03:20] <FNi> its-me-again: okay
[03:20] <enav1> luis_: unete a #Ubuntu-es
[03:20] <randy_> FNi: check /etc/mtab : that is the file for currently mounted drives
[03:20] <ZykoticK9> FNi, i think "sudo mount -a" will try to mount everything in fstab
[03:21] <its-me-again> FNi: the best way to fstab an os is to boot from live cd run gparted right-click on partition you want to run and check it.
[03:21] <ZykoticK9> its-me-again, are you thinking of fdisk?
[03:21] <sweetpi> or fsck
[03:21] <its-me-again> oops i am
[03:22] <randy_> its-me-again: yeah, i'm confused too
[03:22] <its-me-again> FNi:  forget that i am having a bad day today i will stop helping

[03:28] <usacomputertec> Hey anyone here know anything about DOS BOX? Can't get sound for Tetris Classic
[03:32] <klose> exit
[03:32] <EruditeOgre> usacomputertec: using pulseaudio?
[03:33] <usacomputertec> Erudite0gre no I ditched pulseaudio for ALSA
[03:33] <sweetpi> slim: you should be able to do it with a udev rule. there might be an easier way, but ive never tried to do this before
[03:34] <slim> sweetpi, how do i set the udev rule and what is that?
[03:34] <ZykoticK9> usacomputertec, semantics i know but Pulseaudio uses ALSA.  Pulse is a replacement for ESD.
[03:34] <EruditeOgre> usacomputertec: have libsdl1.2debian-alsa installed?
[03:35] <usacomputertec> Erudite0gre just a sec
[03:35] <usacomputertec> Erudite0gre it's not installed install it?
[03:35] <rolandpish> Hi, I'm in a box with xubuntu and installed nautilus because of ease of use of some apps. How can I avoid nautilus respawn when I kill it?
[03:36] <sweetpi> slim: like i said, ive never tried to give all users access to all usb devices. just thought it would be worth mentioning one possible way
[03:36] <usacomputertec> Erudite0gre are you still with me?
[03:38] <enriq> rhythmbox is not showing cover art, plugin is enabled, spins continuously, any idea?
[03:38] <ZykoticK9> slim, you might want to see this post if your USB disks are FAT/NTFS http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1448092 good luck man.
[03:39] <E_MAN> could someone please help me with a permission problem?
[03:40] <E_MAN> i cant install anything
[03:40] <ZykoticK9> !anyone | E_MAN
[03:40] <Dr_Willis> rolandpish:  check the nautilus command line options.  theres one you need to use i belive
[03:40] <Dr_Willis> E_MAN:  clairfy what you are doing and how.
[03:40] <rolandpish> Dr_Willis, thanks! I'll check it right now.
[03:40] <ZykoticK9> E_MAN, "install anything"?  using what?  what are you installing?
[03:41] <E_MAN> when i try to install any program i get an error
[03:41] <Livin4Jesus> Hi.
[03:41] <ZykoticK9> E_MAN, "pulling teeth here", what is the error?
[03:41] <E_MAN> it says that i do not have the permissions to , or the file is corrupt
[03:41] <E_MAN> sorry i type sorta slow
[03:41] <alex_> hi, I'd like a dock/panel in which open applications are represented by a single icon, but applications are NOT grouped
[03:41] <alex_> does such a thing exist?
[03:41] <slim> ZykoticK9, thx but it says to add this to fstab: `/dev/sdd1 /media/usbstick vfat user,umask=000,utf8,flush,noauto 0 0`, but can i make ntfs use umask=000 as default for all drives, not just the ones the explicitly specify?
[03:42] <Livin4Jesus> I need some help with Wubi. When I install it and reboot to really get it install, but when I get there, it just reboots. Help?
[03:42] <ZykoticK9> slim, i'm sorry i don't use FAT/NTFS for hardly anything sorry.  i really don't know.
[03:42] <Dr_Willis> E_MAN:  tell us Exactly what you are installing and how.
[03:42] <E_MAN> teamviewer
[03:43] <slim> ZykoticK9, hmm yea not sure why im still using ntfs either. Its a legacy from the times where i still was using windows :(
[03:43] <medy> hi all. I upgraded to 10.4 and when i it restarted i am getting this error and a frozen sxcreen: a box pops up and says the nVidia driver isnt su[porrted etc etc and ubuntu will start in low graphics mode. but then it stays frozen. whats my first move here? do i need to make a LiveCD of 10.4?
[03:43] <gluxon> alex_: Avant Window Navigator?
[03:43] <slim> too much data to convert now.
[03:43] <E_MAN> and i am installing it by using GDebi package installer
[03:44] <Livin4Jesus> Hihi. I need some help with Wubi. When I install it and reboot to really get it install, but when I get there, it just reboots. Help?
[03:44] <EruditeOgre> usacomputertec: try installing it and see if it works.
[03:44] <alex_> thanks I'll try it out
[03:45] <Dr_Willis> E_MAN:  so you are doing 'sudo gdebi whatever.deb'  ?
[03:45] <E_MAN> no
[03:46] <E_MAN> let me try
[03:46] <E_MAN> hold on
[03:46] <ZykoticK9> E_MAN, in Dr_Willis you should substitute sudo with gksu
[03:46] <Random832> what exactly does gksu do that's different from sudo, other than using a gui for the prompt?
[03:46] <ZykoticK9> !gksudo | Random832
[03:47] <ZykoticK9> Random832, using sudo with graphical programs can break your account!
[03:47] <Random832> the manpage for gksu just says it's a front-end
[03:48] <NeonLightning> with my msi wind u100 every time i unplug the power it thinks its below the critical level and goes into standby and i can't see any setting to change that to do nothing
[03:48] <medy> i upgraded to 10.4 and im getting a frozen screen upon startup. do i need the new LiveCD or can i try to fix the problem with the 9.04 liveCD
[03:48] <Livin4Jesus> Hello? I need some help with Wubi Installer.
[03:48] <Wiesshund> medy how old is your pc?
[03:48] <Dr_Willis> ZykoticK9:  gdebi  is terminal.. gdebi-gtk is the X gui. :)
[03:49] <Livin4Jesus> I need some help with Wubi. When I install it and reboot to really get it install, but when I get there, it just reboots. Help me, please.
[03:49] <medy> weiSSHUND not old at all
[03:49] <Wiesshund> Livin4Jesus,  no need to repeate just be patient
[03:49] <medy> amd phenom
[03:49] <ZykoticK9> Dr_Willis, my bad, i though dpkg was used on terminal.  Sorry E_MAN ignore my gksu advice!
[03:49] <Wiesshund> medy how old is the video card then?
[03:49] <kifo> Hello, I was wondering if there is a way to run a program as root without leaving the terminal window open the entire time its running
[03:49] <Random832> dpkg doesn't handle dependencies
[03:49] <E_MAN> sorry i am getting this error what does it mean sudo: must be setuid root
[03:49] <Random832> uh.....
[03:49] <Wiesshund> medy im just wondering bout the unsuppoerted msg
[03:49] <Dr_Willis> ZykoticK9:  gedbi on terminal on a deb will auto-grab the dependencies.. :)  thats the main benifit. actually it may also ask for root permisions/pass if you dont use sudo/whatever.
[03:49] <Random832> ls -l /usr/bin/sudo
[03:50] <medy> weisshund nvidia 9800
[03:50] <Random832> -rwsr-xr-x 2 root root<PHONE_NUMBER>-04-13 13:43 /usr/bin/sudo
[03:50] <Random832> E_MAN: what is it for you?
[03:50] <medy> previousluy i was using proprietary drivers for the nvidia card i believe
[03:50] <Dr_Willis> E_MAN:  sounds like you may have some how caused a major issue on the system if  sudo is not 'setuid root'
[03:50] <ZykoticK9> Dr_Willis, good to know - thanks.  New tools are always welcomed ;)
[03:50] <Random832> have you at any point screwed something up with a chmod command?
[03:50] <E_MAN> ok
[03:51] <usacomputertec> Erudite0gre ok we installed it and now we need to see if it works.
[03:51] <E_MAN> no
[03:51] <Random832> what does ls -l /usr/bin/sudo say for you?
[03:51] <E_MAN> rwxrwxrwx 2 root root<PHONE_NUMBER>-06-18 16:40 /usr/bin/sudo
[03:51] <Random832> also - anyone: is there a tool that does a comprehensive check of permissions against the package database?
[03:51] <Random832> E_MAN: ok, that's bad.
[03:51] <FNi> And another problem with fstab. The mount works perfectly but ubuntu executes fstab way before the laptop connects to the wireless network, causing the share to be inaccessible. Possible to 'delay' the mount?
[03:51] <grumete> hi I was installing wormux trough the shell and when getting "setting up wormux..." now freezes, it's just there for several minutes and nothing happens
[03:51] <Random832> first of all, chmod go-w /usr/bin/*
[03:52] <Random832> second, chmod u+s /usr/bin/sudo
[03:52] <E_MAN> i tried to fix another problem with chmod
[03:52] <Random832> ok, you screwed it up
[03:52] <E_MAN> maybe is screwed someting up
[03:52] <Random832> what was the chmod command that you did before?
[03:52] <Random832> ..y.eah
[03:52] <E_MAN> hold on
[03:52] <Random832> what was the _exact_ chmod command that you did before for the other thing, and what directory did you run it from
[03:52] <E_MAN> gluxon: what was the command?
[03:52] <Wiesshund> medy yea that would be normal (proprietary drivers) you might wanna make the 10.4 liveCD. i am not sure with that up to date hardware why its saying not supported
[03:53] <kifo> Hello, I was wondering if there is a way to run a program as root without leaving the terminal window open the entire time its running
[03:53] <E_MAN> gluxon: ???
[03:53] <kifo> E_MAN: you mean grumete?
[03:54] <E_MAN> Random832: i think it is chmod 777 ./ -R -v
[03:54] <Random832> E_MAN: eek. _where_ did you run that?
[03:54] <Random832> what was your current working directory at that time? and who told you that command?
[03:54] <E_MAN> and kifo no gluxon is my  friend
[03:54] <kifo> ah okay sorry
[03:54]  * Random832 isn't so sure he's your friend if he gave you that command
[03:55] <E_MAN> i think it was home/(my user name)/
[03:55] <Random832> that shouldn't have hit /usr/bin
[03:55] <grumete> kifo I'm trying to install wormux trough the shell.
[03:55] <ZykoticK9> E_MAN, if 777 has been applied to everything in /usr/bin that's a bad thing.
[03:55] <Random832> so... again, general question
[03:55] <E_MAN> k
[03:55] <kifo> grumete: something against synaptic?
[03:55] <Random832> is there any command that will verify every file against the package database?
[03:55] <monkey_dust> 5 am here
[03:55] <Random832> and fix permissions
[03:55] <E_MAN> is there a way to fix it?
[03:55] <grumete> yes, it doesn't have the latest version.
[03:56] <kifo> oh so youre using some package from the site
[03:56] <kifo> ?
[03:56] <Random832> E_MAN: that's what i'm trying to find out... i gave you two things that should help, but without knowing the full scope of the problem, who knows what got screwed up
[03:56] <grumete> ok, the point is that it just stopped
[03:56] <E_MAN> it is possible that i ran it in the wrong directory
[03:56] <sweetpi> Random832: he probably missed the . in ./ and changed perms recursively on /
[03:56] <medy> is there a command to get into command line during the time ubuntu is strating up?
[03:56] <Random832> E_MAN: do me a favor and do ls -ld / /usr /usr/bin, and paste the output to pastebin
[03:56] <kifo> medy: you mean boot into command line instead of x
[03:57] <E_MAN> drwxrwxrwx 22 root root  4096 2010-07-22 23:34 /
[03:57] <E_MAN> drwxrwxrwx 12 root root  4096 2010-07-23 00:43 /usr
[03:57] <E_MAN> drwxrwxrwx  2 root root 36864 2010-07-23 00:53 /usr/bin
[03:57] <medy> yea that would make sense
[03:57] <ZykoticK9> medy, hold shift and select recovery mode from grub menu is the closest...
[03:57] <kifo> i used to have to do some roundabout thing
[03:57] <EvilPhoenix> !pastebin | E_MAN
[03:57] <kifo> let me link you medy
[03:57] <E_MAN> sorry
[03:57] <kifo> medy: i know theres a better way to do it but i did some weird workaround that always worked for me, ill find it
[03:57] <Dr_Willis> Biggest danger to a Ubuntu/Linux box these days.. seems to be the users :)
[03:58] <Random832> anyway, that tells us that what we were afraid of is true
[03:58] <ZykoticK9> E_MAN, if you've set everything in / to 777 i'd say reinstalling is probably easiest way to correct the issue.  Hopefully someone disagrees ;)  Good luck man, you might need it.
[03:58] <Random832> so is there any permission fixing tool?
[03:59] <Dr_Willis> Random832:  Other then total reinstalling of every package... (ick)
[03:59] <Dr_Willis> Random832:  and even then. that may miss some stuff :)
[03:59] <medy> shouldnt the recovery option in GRUB be only a command line?
[03:59] <medy> bec that too freezes up
[03:59] <NeonLightning> Dr_Willis: thats been the biggest danger for linux systems forever
[03:59] <Guest15420> hey i just got ubuntu and when i play something it plays out my speakers and my headphones how do i fix that?
[03:59] <E_MAN> what exactly does 777 do?
[04:00] <Random832> E_MAN: it sets it to rwxrwxrwx instead of what it's supposed to be
[04:00] <kifo> medy: if youre talking about what im thinking i couldnt find any *easy* way to do it
[04:00] <ZykoticK9> E_MAN, everything read / write and worst executable
[04:00] <E_MAN> ok
[04:00] <medy> ok im just gonna gho home and make a livecd and start my search there
[04:00] <medy> thanks anyhow
[04:00] <E_MAN> is there a way to fix the permissions without reinstalling?
[04:00] <Random832> mostly just annoyances if you're on a single user system, but for example it'll break anything that needs to be setuid
[04:00] <Random832> or stuff that doesn't allow their files to be accessible to all
[04:01] <Random832> apparently not
[04:01] <kifo> Hello, I was wondering if there is a way to run a program as root without leaving the terminal window open the entire time its running
[04:01] <Random832> just back up your whole /home/whatever to somewhere else and reinstall
[04:01] <E_MAN> ok
[04:01] <E_MAN> thanks
[04:01] <Guest15420> hey i just got ubuntu and when i play something it plays out my speakers and my headphones how do i fix that?
[04:01] <Random832> kifo: gksu
[04:01] <ZykoticK9> kifo, start the program from "gksudo"
[04:01] <E_MAN> ill reinstall later, but it is working for now
[04:01] <E_MAN> bye
[04:01] <kifo> is that a gnome thing? Ill try it
[04:02] <kifo> it isnt going to start up the whole gnome panel and everything right
[04:02] <Random832> kdesu or kdesudo if you're on kde
[04:02] <Random832> no, it's just gtk
[04:02] <kifo> im in awesome
[04:02] <Guest15420> anyone?
[04:02] <Random832> awesome?
[04:02] <kifo> yea
[04:02] <kifo> awesome window manager
[04:02] <Wiesshund> medy in 10.4 i dont think the command prompt option exists from the boot screen natively , you have to get into the os and change the run levels
[04:03] <ZykoticK9> Wiesshund, incorrect.  medy
[04:03] <ZykoticK9> !runlevels > Wiesshund
[04:03] <Datz> hi, I was just wondering why on the download page I see: 64bit Not recommended for daily desktop usage
[04:03] <Dr_Willis> Wiesshund: You could edit one of the grub boot menu lines and use the 'text' option if you wanted.
[04:04] <Guest15420> hey i just got ubuntu and when i play something it plays out my speakers and my headphones how do i fix that? i have asla but i can't separate the channels
[04:04] <Dr_Willis> Datz:  use waht you want. that advice for people that dont even kniow what 64bit is mainly.
[04:04] <kifo> Random832: ZykoticK9 that looks like it worked! thank you
[04:04] <ZykoticK9> Datz, official "bug" on the matter ;) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website-content/+bug/585940
[04:04] <Dr_Willis> Datz:  see http://ubuntu-user.com/Online/Blogs/Marcel-Gagne-Orbiting-Planet-buntu/Stop-Apologizing-For-Linux
[04:04] <Datz> Dr_Willis: ah, thanks for the info guys
[04:04] <Dr_Willis> Datz:  short answer. Use 64bit if you can. :)
[04:05] <kifo> Gksu doesnt run it as the correct user
[04:05] <warriorf1rgod> I am having an issue with ubuntu 10.04 where my volume indicator applet shows my volume as muted, but nothing in sound preferences does.  I also cannot open alsa mixer and have no sound.  Any suggestions?
[04:05] <kifo> its transmission, it doesnt run with all of my torrents and everything loaded, like its a different user
[04:06] <Wiesshund> ZykoticK9, GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text" still work?
[04:06] <ZykoticK9> kifo, "gksu -u $username program"
[04:06] <Guest15420> can anyone answer my question? :(
[04:06] <kifo> ZykoticK9: that equates to running it as root?
[04:06] <ZykoticK9> Wiesshund, don't think so.  but not "sure"
[04:06] <FabParma> does exist a startup delayer for autostart apps?
[04:06] <ZykoticK9> kifo, by default it's root, but if you use the -u switch you can specify the user
[04:07] <Wiesshund> heh on thing i kind of missed on newer distros, cmd line is nice if you need to fix gui related stuff
[04:07] <Dr_Willis> Guest15420:  you have checked the ubuntu forums? there may not be a quick fix. or it may depend on youyr exact sound card.
[04:07] <Guest15420> ok ill check
[04:07] <kifo> ZykoticK9: no, that gives me permission denied
[04:07] <ZykoticK9> kifo, what command are you using?
[04:08] <Datz> ZykoticK9, Dr_Willis: good articles, answered my question mostly I think :)
[04:08] <kifo> gksu -u brendan transmission -m
[04:08] <ZykoticK9> kifo, are you user brendan?
[04:08] <kifo> yes
[04:08] <ZykoticK9> kifo, then don't use gksu at all
[04:08] <kifo> ZykoticK9: gives the same error
[04:08] <NeonLightning> with my msi wind u100 every time i unplug the power it thinks its below the critical level and goes into standby and i can't see any setting to change that to do nothing. what can i do about that?
[04:09] <ZykoticK9> kifo, can you pastebin the entire error?
[04:09] <kifo> its only one line
[04:09] <ZykoticK9> kifo, is there a verbose switch?
[04:09] <kifo> could not open "/home/brendan/.config/transmission/lock" permission denied
[04:09] <kifo> ZykoticK9: ill try
[04:10] <andrea_> hola
[04:10] <ZykoticK9> kifo, i bet the permission on that lock file are set to root!
[04:10] <kifo> ZykoticK9: they are the same error, can i try this without gksu or should i use gksu
[04:10] <kifo> ZykoticK9: the reason i run it as root is because if i dont it doesnt load any of my torrents or settings or anything
[04:10] <ZykoticK9> kifo, ls -l /home/brendan/.config/transmission/lock
[04:10] <kifo> I tried to fix it once on the advice of someone here but it messed everything up and i had to manually add them all again
[04:11] <kifo> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2010-07-14 15:16 /home/brendan/.config/transmission/lock
[04:11] <ZykoticK9> kifo, owened by root exactly
[04:12] <kifo> i tried fixing this in some way suggested by someone in here and it really messed it up
[04:12] <kifo> so now i have to run it as root
[04:12] <here4thegear> Using ubuntu in vmware but I need to be anonymous online. proxy maybe? what can I do ensure that I'm less 'traceable'
[04:12] <kifo> or it doesnt load my setting
[04:13] <ZykoticK9> kifo, if you need to run it as root it very bad!  you should fix it, but i'd worry about having to restart your torrents so don't really want to recommend solutions :|
[04:13] <FabParma> how to delay the startup apps like beagle daemon, google desktop etc?
[04:13] <kifo> ZykoticK9: yea im sort of ashamed to say i run it as root but its a problem i need to fix
[04:13] <kifo> i have some odd 700 torrents running all the time
[04:13] <kifo> so if i mess something up i have to re add them all one by one and say where the data is and check it
[04:14] <kifo> took me about a month, but its not a good situation to be in, running a program as root like that, i think
[04:14] <ZykoticK9> kifo, especially a network file sharing program
[04:14] <kifo> im not proud, but ive been unable to fix it thusfar
[04:15] <kifo> transmission chat people told me to renistall so, i dont want to do that, that would involve manually adding them all again
[04:15] <thune3> NeonLightning: there is a gconf setting trick in post 1 of this that might help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9230036
[04:15] <ZykoticK9> kifo, this is BAD advice - but it bet it caused the problem in the first place.  trying just running "sudo transmission_BLAH_BLAH" and i bet it works.
[04:15] <kifo> it does, but then i have to leave the terminal open
[04:15] <kifo> and its very ugly
[04:15] <ZykoticK9> kifo, LOL
[04:15] <kifo> i just want to run it as sudo transmission blah blah in the background
[04:16] <kifo> so i dont have to be ashamed every time i see it
[04:16] <subone> What is the equivilant kill signal for clicking the X in a windows title? so that if it goers to tray it will
[04:16] <ZykoticK9> kifo, you're proving to the channel why "YOU SHOULD NEVER USE SUDO for graphical apps" ;)
[04:16] <kifo> ZykoticK9: i didnt want to, but on the advice of someone here, it became broken and i havent been able to fix it
[04:17] <kifo> it used to run and just not read files from external drives was the problem, it had to be root for that, then i did something and now it wont even start without sudo blah blah, i just want to run it as sudo blah blah in the background and have it be done with
[04:18] <kifo> wouldnt running something through gksu as root be equivalent to running it as sudo blah blah from a terminal logged in as a user?
[04:18] <ZykoticK9> kifo, have you tried running it from inside screen?
[04:19] <kifo> what is inside screen?
[04:19] <ZykoticK9> kifo, type "screen" in a terminal and see if it's installed, if not install it
[04:19] <kifo> what is it....my computer is very slow, i cant run anything too graphical
[04:20] <ZykoticK9> kifo, lol it's not graphical at all.
[04:20] <kifo> edit: its installed
[04:21] <kifo> trying "screen sudo transmission -m"
[04:21] <ZykoticK9> kifo, ok.  once you type screen.  then start your transmission client as normal, then press ctrl+a+d which should "detach" you back to the first terminal.  then close the terminal window ;)
[04:21] <Dr_Willis> kifo:  or from terminal --> 'commandtorun &' then 'exit'
[04:21] <Dr_Willis> kifo:  and dont use the 'close button' ever. :) use exit command..
[04:22] <kifo> Dr_Willis: that requires me to leave the terminal open
[04:22] <ZykoticK9> Dr_Willis, if you close the terminal won't that close the program!?
[04:22] <kifo> i dont have a close button, i dont even have a mouse :p
[04:22] <Dr_Willis> kifo:  & and exit wont
[04:22] <kifo> Dr_Willis: yes, it will, because as long as transmission is running, it wont complete and go to exit
[04:22] <Dr_Willis> ZykoticK9:  it hasent in the last 8+ years.. there MAY besome that still close.. but ive never seen it.
[04:22] <Dr_Willis> kifo:  i run gui apps with & and exit all the time.
[04:22] <senthil> If you use "nohup sudo transmission &" you can close the terminal window
[04:22] <NeonLightning> thune3: lets hope that works(i just tried briefly and it now seems to lock up my system)
[04:23] <ZykoticK9> Dr_Willis, xcalc & - then close terminal and xcalc closes :(
[04:23] <Dr_Willis> kifo:  i just did 'transmission &'  then 'exit' here.. transmission still ruinning
[04:23] <Dr_Willis> ZykoticK9:  i did mention the 'exit' command and 'never using the close button' :)
[04:23] <kifo> Dr_Willis: doesnt work for me
[04:24] <Dr_Willis> ZykoticK9:  xcalc &, and exit. does not close xcalc here
[04:24] <kifo> its okay i dont have buttons
[04:24] <kifo> dont worry
[04:24] <kifo> senthil: that worked perfectly, thank you
[04:24] <ZykoticK9> Dr_Willis, ok gotcha exit is key.  Thanks number 2 for the night ;)
[04:24]  * Dr_Willis wonders WHY someone is 'sudo transmission' in the fiorst place
[04:24] <kifo> Dr_Willis: bad command from someone in this chat
[04:24] <Dr_Willis> ZykoticK9:  ages ago i set up window manager where xterm dident even have a close button.
[04:24] <ZykoticK9> Dr_Willis, a lesson on why never to run gui apps with sudo
[04:25] <kifo> anyways buttons are useless if you dont have a mouse Dr_Willis
[04:25] <ZykoticK9> Dr_Willis, that was re: Transmission
[04:25] <Dr_Willis> ZykoticK9:  ive never really had any issues with gui aps and sudo.. other then a 'cant open display' due to X securioty type settings
[04:25] <kifo> Dr_Willis: it always leaves the terminal open for me
[04:25] <Dr_Willis> but once i get a system set up. I dont really need to sudo much .
[04:26] <Dr_Willis> kifo:  clarify what you mean/are doing perhaps?
[04:26] <subone> What is the equivilant kill signal for clicking the X in a windows title? so that if it goers to tray it will
[04:26] <henry__> español
[04:27] <ZykoticK9> subone, do you mean minimize?  there is no kill signal for that.
[04:27] <henry__> español
[04:27] <thune3> NeonLightning: the only other suggestion in that thread to to make sure bios is current.
[04:27] <ZykoticK9> !es | henry__
[04:28] <subone> ZykoticK9, no i mean when i click the X button to close the app it goes to the system tray. what signal is equivilant of hitting the X button?
[04:28] <kifo> DURgod_: what?
[04:28] <kifo> Dr_Willis: * what do you mean clarify lol
[04:28] <ZykoticK9> subone, those apps (like Rhythmbox) are special, they aren't typical linux behaviour.
[04:29] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[04:29] <subone> ZykoticK9, so you're saying i cant send a specific kill signal to it? i thought thats how the wm handled it...
[04:29] <Dr_Willis> kifo:  i have no idea what you ment by 'always leaves teh terminal open'   what does? be verbose and concise on IRC :)
[04:30] <ActionParsnip> ZykoticK9: can I PM please dude?
[04:30] <ZykoticK9> subone, you can use "kill PID#" or "killall program_name" to kill a program, equivalent of x in corner.
[04:30] <ZykoticK9> ActionParsnip, of course.
[04:31] <subone> ZykoticK9, so then if it is equivilant how does the app know the difference between clicking the X and sending that signal, because its not going to the tray
[04:32] <ZykoticK9> subone, as i said, that tray stuff if "non-standard" behaviour
[04:33] <subone> ZykoticK9, the app already has it built in so why cant i do it?
[04:33] <Izinucs_> subone: the kill signals and x don't interact with the program itself.. mostly.. they do with the system.. it tells the system to "kill" that program
[04:34] <ActionParsnip> subone: you can use alltray to tray apps
[04:34] <subone> Izinucs_, so how would you recommend sending such an app to the tray as it would if the X was clicked because clicking the X and killing using killall are not the same result
[04:34] <magicianlord> what's the command to intsall the current nvidia drivers from console?
[04:34] <subone> ActionParsnip, i am not trying to tray anything that doesnt already tray itself
[04:34] <subone> i just want to do it from the cli
[04:35] <magicianlord> tru subone
[04:35] <ZykoticK9> magicianlord, sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[04:35] <Dr_Willis> some programs have command line optiosn to do things like that. as a 'remote controll' type feature
[04:35] <subone> huh?
[04:35] <magicianlord> ZykoticK9: that's whati thought. thanks
[04:35] <senthil> you can use "wmctrl -c  <window Title>" to close a window from commandline
[04:35] <senthil> you have to install wmctrl thou
[04:36] <subone> senthil, lemme try that
[04:36] <Izinucs_> subone: ah I missed part of your earlier posts.. you want a program to end up by the clock like pidgon works or empathy .. right?  I don't know the answer to that unfortunately
[04:36] <ActionParsnip> or you can use: kill with some special options to make it close gracefully
[04:36] <wrek> hey all. think i have a majr problem on my hands. booting into recovery mode i get these mesagges: init: ureadahead-other main process (3377) terminated with status 4. mountall: fsck /home [2818] terminated with status 8. mountall: unrecoverable fsck error: /home
[04:36] <subone> senthil, that works thanks!
[04:37] <ActionParsnip> Izinucs_: alltray does it
[04:40] <ZykoticK9> kill by default is "asking politely" to close actually.  -9 is the "now" option.
[04:40] <Dr_Willis> 'close with extreme prejudice' :)
[04:41] <thune3> wrek: is this after formating a new home partition? or did some action preceed this error or was it working and then out of the blue...?"
[04:41] <Izinucs_> ZykoticK9: what's the -15 option? *NOW!* as opposed to now
[04:41] <ActionParsnip> Izinucs_: -9 is the biggest hammer
[04:41] <jvm> hi. i migrated an old ubuntu user to ubuntu 9.10, and want to encrypt his home directory. could i simply do "sudo adduser –encrypt-home foo", login with his old user, login with his new user, then move all data from the old home directory to the new home directory, delete the old user, and rename the new one?
[04:41] <wrek> thune3 this happened after upgrading to 10.04
[04:41] <ZykoticK9> Izinucs_, i like Dr_Willis's "extreme prejudice" description ;)
[04:42] <Izinucs_> ActionParsnip: ZykoticK9 mee too
[04:42] <ubuser> anyone know a beat maker that would possibly work on ubuntu 5.1
[04:42] <thune3> wrek: sounds like need to correct your fstab entry for your home dir.
[04:42] <ActionParsnip> ubuser: lmms
[04:43] <magicianlord> what's the default nvidia driver installed
[04:43] <Flannel> jvm: You want to encrypt the whole home folder? or just the Private folder in it?
[04:43] <jvm> Flannel, there is currently no Private folder. i want to encrypt the whole home directory.
[04:44] <ubuser> actionp- my ubuntu 5.1 computer isnt connected to the internet either, do i need any special files, and im kinda new to linux.. can i just download the linux version
[04:44] <ubuser> it says ub 8
[04:45] <wrek> thune3 im currently making a LiveCD. i guess I'll look at my fstab once i get one. can i just install a new version of ubuntu and keep my files? bec there are other things going on and it looks like a lot of work. i have the OS on a seperate partition
[04:45] <Flannel> jvm: Yeah, but you can add an encrypted private folder.  Alright.  http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2009/06/migrating-to-encrypted-home-directory.html  Is a howto for migrating
[04:45] <ubuser> does anyone know a beat maker that will work on an ancient version of ubuntu... 5.1
[04:46] <Dr_Willis> whats a 'beat maker' ? a metrodome ?
[04:46] <ubuser> fl studio
[04:46] <ubuser> my ub 5.1 pc isnt on the internet either..
[04:46] <Dr_Willis> and fl studio is ?
[04:46] <CHICOGAYCOLOMBIA> HI
[04:46] <ubuser> music maker
[04:46] <CHICOGAYCOLOMBIA> I AM GAY :)
[04:47] <FloodBot1> CHICOGAYCOLOMBIA: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:47] <CHICOGAYCOLOMBIA> MY AGE IS 17
[04:47] <Flannel> CHICOGAYCOLOMBIA Please stop.
[04:47] <jvm> thanks Flannel, i think i'll try it with the second user then, it sounds more straight-forward ;)
[04:47] <CHICOGAYCOLOMBIA> hi
[04:47] <CHICOGAYCOLOMBIA> i am gay and my age is 17 :)
[04:47] <ubuser> anyone know a music maker like flstudio that will work on ubuntu 5.1
[04:47] <CHICOGAYCOLOMBIA> i love britney spears :):)
[04:47] <Flannel> ubuser: 5.10 isn't a supported version of Ubuntu (and hasn't been for a while).  I suggest you upgrade to a more recent one
[04:48] <Flannel> CHICOGAYCOLOMBIA: This is an Ubuntu support channel, please stay ontopic.  Thanks
[04:48] <CHICOGAYCOLOMBIA> hi
[04:48] <thune3> wrek: this should be pretty straighforward from the livecd. depends on the "other things". With care (since your home dir is on a seperate partition), installing fresh and keeping home is doable.
[04:48] <CHICOGAYCOLOMBIA> i am gay and my age is 17 :):):)
[04:49] <ubuser> my 5.1 has sound and snd rec works...
[04:49] <ActionParsnip> ubuser: i'm guessing you mean frooty loops. lmms is very similar
[04:49] <ubuser> i dont think it works on ub 5.1
[04:50] <magicianlord> hmm
[04:50] <ActionParsnip> ubuser: your release isnt supported anymore
[04:50] <Dr_Willis> ubuser:  You should really consider reinstalling a newer version of ubuntu.
[04:50] <Dr_Willis> a 5 year old  version of ubuntu is  pushing it
[04:51] <ubuser> other one i have is 9.1   its only a 768 processor 128 ram
[04:51] <FNi> Anyone know why Ubuntu thinks my laptop lid is permanently closed?
[04:51] <ubuser> but i always have trouble getting the mic to work in 9.1
[04:51] <wrek> thune3 the other things seem to be the nviadia drivers. i guess first ill try to edit fstab although that always makes me nervous
[04:54] <RealEyes> whats up guys?
[04:54] <magicianlord> yo
[04:55] <magicianlord> what's the command to determine space used in console
[04:55] <ubuser> whats another word for music maker
[04:55] <Theo> hey guys. im running windows atm thru oracle vm virtualbox. i attached an usb drive but its no recognized by the machine. can anyone tell how to make vm virtualbox recognize my usb drive? cheers
[04:55] <Flannel> magicianlord: du (Disk Used)
[04:55] <ubuser> quotes...
[04:55] <magicianlord> Flannel: thanks
[04:56] <magicianlord> Flannel: is that in megabytes?
[04:56] <Dr_Willis> Theo:  you have checked teh vbirtualbox docs/manual?  You Are using the Virtualbox from the Vbox homepage? not the ose version in the repos?
[04:56] <ubuser> im checking google for a music maker, whats another common word for it
[04:57] <Theo> Hey Dr Willis. Yeah im looking at the manual atm and yeah i downloaded it from the homepage
[04:57] <NeonLightning> ubuser: depends on what way your making music i use makers called trackers
[04:57] <Flannel> magicianlord: KB
[04:58] <Flannel> magicianlord: And, possibly base 10 instead of base 2 (du -h will make it human readable, --si will force it to 1000 instead of 1024 for human readable)
[04:59] <doctorZeus> virtualbox docs were/are terrible imo.. it took me a few hours but google eventually led me to the path of success for usb devices on vbox
[05:00] <Dr_Willis> last i tried. i just clicked a few things. :) but that sas a few mo back.
[05:00] <shockmount> i always have problem with vbox
[05:00] <shockmount> worst i dont have a cdrom drive
[05:00] <Theo> neither haha
[05:01] <ubuser> if i am downloading a beat maker, can i use the linux version for ubuntu 5.10? or the src files??
[05:01] <Theo> ok thanks for the tipps guys
[05:01] <magicianlord> Flannel: thanks. the h parameter formats it by megabyte
[05:02] <stanley_robertso> hi all
[05:03] <EvilPhoenix> anyone here familiar with postfix?  someone in #ubuntu-server is seeking help with it and getting no responses
[05:03] <Flannel> magicianlord: It'll format it in whatever prefix is most sane
[05:03] <deathnight114> If i install ubuntu with the windows installer on the same partition as windows, will it format windows?
[05:04] <Flannel> deathnight114: You mean wubi?
[05:04] <deathnight114> Yeah
[05:04] <Flannel> deathnight114: No, wubi does no formatting or partitioning, it creates an Ubuntu install as a file on your windows system (two files, actually, I believe)
[05:04] <sebsebseb> deathnight114: no since it doesn't set up a real partition
[05:04] <deathnight114> okay
[05:04] <deathnight114> thanks
[05:04] <Flannel> deathnight114: It's just looking for a drive to store the files
[05:04] <deathnight114> I just needed to make sure before i installed it
[05:06] <deathnight114> thanks
[05:06] <cheater99> hi
[05:06] <cheater99> i need to install a program in a specific directory, how can i do that? can i use the .deb or do i need to compile my own version?
[05:06] <cheater99> actually i need two separate instances of it

[05:08] <Steam> Hi, i have problem with java and i get this message : ( PKIX path validation failed: java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: Certificate has been revoked )
[05:09] <EvilPhoenix> Steam:  it means the security certificate is invalid
[05:09] <EvilPhoenix> Steam:  whoever issued it revoked it
[05:09] <Craig`> hey again
[05:10] <Craig`> I was considering getting, http://www.amazon.com/Practical-Guide-Commands-Editors-Programming/dp/0131367366/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1280030968&sr=8-1 do you think that'd be a good idea? I'm wanting to familiarise myself with the commands etc
[05:10] <Steam> EvilPhoenix, but i can`t use java applet any more , there is a solution of this problem ?
[05:10] <matelot> I want to cron a python script every 3 minutes, is this right ? ""*/3 * * * * python ~/emailme.py" ?" ?
[05:11] <EvilPhoenix> Steam:  unfortunately, none that I can think of
[05:11] <ammini> Does freenode have a channel for Mint Linux?
[05:11] <sebsebseb> !mintsupport | ammini
[05:11] <ammini> sebsebseb: Thanks a lot
[05:11] <ubuser> my pc is ubuntu 5.1 (i know its old, but it works..) i dont have internet on this pc however i need to get a specific depency on this computer is there any way to download "sudo apt-get install libqt3-mt libsamplerate0 libsdl-sound1.2" to put them on a cd??
[05:12] <sebsebseb> ammini: Your welcome
[05:12] <Craig`> so yeah, does anyone recommend me that book?
[05:12] <sebsebseb> Craig`: for learning programming or Linux commands?  I didn't go on link
[05:12] <Craig`> basically learning about linux and it's commands
[05:13] <ubuser> and install them cmds*
[05:13] <sebsebseb> ubuser: the 5.1 repos are probably long gone
[05:13] <sebsebseb> ubuser: 5.10 even
[05:13] <Dr_Willis> Craig`:  theres plenty of free books/guides and sites to learn  lots of that stuff..
[05:13] <Craig`> Dr_Willis, I was wondering if anyone had the book - i'd just get a pdf, but i can't currently find one -
[05:13] <sebsebseb> !terminal \ Craig`
[05:14] <Dr_Willis> Craig`:  i always check the bargin bins at the book stores for command line specific/bash books.  Most 'general' books are too general.
[05:14] <sebsebseb> !terminal | Craig`
[05:14] <sebsebseb> Craig`: Basic commands and such in Ubuntu Manual, and theres also Ubuntu Pocket Guide which you can download or I think buy in book form even
[05:14] <sebsebseb> Craig`: I mean download or buy in book form,  same for the manual actsualley
[05:14] <ubuser> its in my repos... how can i download it to the desktop
[05:14] <aloon> sorry to bug , whats the channel name for maverick ? Thanks in advance
[05:14] <sebsebseb> !manual | Craig`
[05:15] <sebsebseb> !10.10 | aloon
[05:15] <Dr_Willis> Craig`:  saw this link today --->   http://mybroadband.co.za/news/general/14002-Eight-free-open-source-books.html
[05:15] <sebsebseb> ubuser: I know 5.10 was a pretty great release, I don't remember it much now though, but even on an offline computer, why are you still using it?
[05:15] <ubuser> free cds in the mail
[05:15] <ubuser> and it doesnt have internet
[05:16] <sebsebseb> ubuser: (in fact its like I have completly forgotton 5.10 since it was years ago)
[05:16] <Craig`> thanks guys
[05:16] <ubuser> and the sound works and my mic
[05:16] <ubuser> and snd rec
[05:16] <ubuser> so all i need is a music maker
[05:16] <ubuser> and im good
[05:16] <ubuser> i just need the depencys in the repos list
[05:16] <ubuser> on a cd
[05:16] <ubuser> and only got like 20 mins..
[05:16] <wrekt> if i install drivers while on a desktop session on the Live CD will they be there when i boot from the HDD?
[05:17] <ubuser> linux nub
[05:17] <ubuser> <---
[05:17] <ubuser> python is mcpimpin
[05:17] <sebsebseb> ubuser: Linux noob after using Ubuntu since 5.10 ?
[05:17] <ubuser> honestly i was wonderin if it was..
[05:17] <ubuser> what are "source" files exactly
[05:18] <ubuser> dos cmds?
[05:18] <jvm> hi. so ive a user with encrypted home directory, ubuntu 9.10. forgotten password. no important data in the encrypted home directory. i chrooted on a live cd and changed the password, but when rebooting, login didn't work. i dont wanna reinstall. adding a new user with the live cd also lead to "Authentication failed" when actually booting the system. how do you do this?
[05:19] <thune3> wrekt: not unless you are "chroot"ed into your hdd filesystem. If possible you could download ".deb"s and save them for installing when you boot hdd.
[05:19] <ubuser> is there a way to download svn repos to desktop
[05:19] <aloon> anyone ever have the problem in Lucid where you fn F-key to a virtual terminal and the screen is blank ? I can't seem to fix that even by doing everything in the write-ups to fix plymouth resolution etc
[05:20] <sebsebseb> ubuser: I think there might be something you can use, I mean a repo for old releases, but I am not sure.
[05:21] <sebsebseb> ubuser: Ok the computer is offline, but even so why exactly are you doing 5.10?  Why not just put a later version on that is still supported, for example 8.04.
[05:21] <ubuser> doesnt have teh internet and its an old pc
[05:21] <forbidy> #netcorp new free shell service running !!
[05:21] <forbidy> #netcorp new free shell service running !!
[05:21] <forbidy> #netcorp new free shell service running !!
[05:21] <ubuser> got the cds in the mail
[05:21] <FloodBot1> forbidy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:21] <sebsebseb> ubuser: 8.04 works on old PC's as well
[05:21] <ubuser> and 9.1 doesnt have sound with the no internet
