[00:00] <mr_gnu> Jonii: I don't have a swap since I have 8 gigs of ram. But that's my preference.
[00:00] <mickster04> mr_gnu: well if you wanna use hybernate that won't help any
[00:00] <ActionParsnip> Jonii: you need swap for hibernate
[00:00] <Noxes42> ikonia: Could it possibly be the PCI slot itself? If I were to move the card to another slot, would that make a difference?
[00:00] <Guest93163> ok so i can ssh in but only as root
[00:00] <mr_gnu> mickster04: I never hibernate lol.
[00:00] <mickster04> Jonii: but if you don't mind just using sleep, then you don't really need it :p
[00:00] <Guest93163> is that normal?
[00:00] <mickster04> mr_gnu: me neither
[00:00] <geekbri> Jonii: the only harm it causes is not having that space available as normal storage.... :)
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> Guest93163: me neither
[00:01] <Jonii> geekbri, well, I do have more than enough space
[00:01] <mickster04> Guest93163: depends if you are doing root@server
[00:01] <immy> how can i delete an encrypted partition created with disk utility?
[00:01] <mickster04> Jonii: in which case make a swap partition
[00:01] <Guest93163> i tried dave@server and got host terminated
[00:01] <drc> mr_gnu: but jonii is from .fi and it gets cold there in the winter
[00:01] <mickster04> Guest93163: is dave an account on the server?
[00:02] <Guest93163> yes
[00:02] <Geo> can someone tell me a c++ help channel?
[00:02] <sparky44> i need to organize music on my walkman on ubuntu 10.10 whats the best to use
[00:02] <ActionParsnip> Geo: #c++ or #programming
[00:02] <sparky44> what program is best to use i mean
[00:02] <mickster04> sparky44: banshee and ryhtm box both have that ability i believe
[00:02] <ActionParsnip> sparky44: there is no best
[00:02] <mickster04> !best | sparky44
[00:02] <neyhay> YankDownUnder: It doesn't seem to want to mount.  http://paste.ubuntu.com/570835/
[00:02] <Geo> ActionPaesnip thx
[00:02] <PhoenixSTF> How do I apply a patch to the lucid kernel? do i Have to recompile?
[00:02] <mr_gnu> drc: lol
[00:03] <ActionParsnip> !patch
[00:03] <maco> PhoenixSTF: yes
[00:03] <makefile> !path
[00:03] <YankDownUnder> neyhay, What happens when you try to manually mount the /dev/sdb1 mate?
[00:04] <Jonii> And, help page says I should use ext3, but it's good to use ext4?
[00:04] <mickster04> Jonii: just use ext4
[00:04] <Jonii> Ok
[00:04] <mickster04> Jonii: that help page may be slighty behind...:p
[00:04] <mickster04> Jonii: ext4 is still relatively new
[00:04] <functor> How do I blacklist the rt2860 mod(s) in 10.10 netbook in order to use the official one?
[00:05] <functor> it seems lsmod has a bunch of them
[00:05] <mickster04> !blacklist > functor
[00:05] <PhoenixSTF> maco: great how about upgrading lucid server kernel to 2.6.32-25, how do i do that?
[00:05] <immy> how can i delete a "dm-X" device - n is an integer
[00:05] <Jonii> So, I'm making root(that is, "/" as mount point), but why is it logical and not primary? Logical seems less worthy than primary, and my windows partitions are primary
[00:06] <Jonii> Does this matter at all?
[00:06] <sparky44> mickster04 thanks and sorry for saying best meant had thoes capabilities
[00:06] <immy> can i just go into /dev and sudo rm?
[00:06] <mickster04> Jonii: don't worry bout it
[00:06] <functor> mickster04: rather, "which ones" should i blacklist
[00:06] <ActionParsnip> functor: just add a new .conf file in /etc/modprobe.d with a .conf extension wuth the words:  blacklist modulename      in the file
[00:06] <functor> i know how blackist works
[00:06] <maco> PhoenixSTF: -25 is no longer in the repos. it's old. bugfixes have pushed it up to -28
[00:06] <functor> there is rt2800lib and sta, but the official one is different
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> functor: just blacklist what you don't want
[00:07] <Jonii> So I select logical, and choose the amount of memory as installation program suggested, and use ext4
[00:07] <Guest93163> does anyone know the default password for openssh
[00:07] <maco> PhoenixSTF: you could dig it up on launchpad.net if you /really/ want
[00:07] <jrib> Guest93163: there isn't such a thing
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> Guest93163: there isn;t one
[00:07] <Guest93163> crap
[00:07] <mr_gnu> Jonii: You really only need to use logical if you are seperating your "/" partitions
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> Guest93163: you use YOUR account to connect
[00:07] <mickster04> Jonii: well you shouldn't need to select either logical or primary, it should have been chosen for you?
[00:07] <rww> Guest93163: openssh uses your user account passwords for authentication
[00:07] <Jonii> mickster04, yeah, it's autoselected as logical
[00:07] <Guest93163> then why if i try to login as root@server and i give the password i use for sudo it fails authentication
[00:07] <KB1JWQ> rww: Or ssh keypairs.
[00:08] <maco> Guest93163: becauase that's your user's password, not root's
[00:08] <maco> Guest93163: root has no password
[00:08] <Guest93163> huh...
[00:08] <maco> Guest93163: use your username
[00:08] <mickster04> Guest93163: cos is shouldbe that sudo isn't an account on the server
[00:08] <Jonii> But this seems a bit weird
[00:08] <PhoenixSTF> maco: yes well i am talking about lucid server, im how can i upgrade the kernel on it? apt-get upgrade wont go above 2.6.32-21
[00:08] <ActionParsnip> Guest93163: there is no root pass, that's why. Login as your own user
[00:08] <Jonii> But, I select logical, and it's all good, right?
[00:08] <maco> PhoenixSTF: do you not have the security or updates repositories enabled?
[00:08] <mickster04> Jonii: if that is what is defaulted yes
[00:08] <maco> PhoenixSTF: check your /etc/apt/sources.list
[00:08] <PhoenixSTF> maco: never mixed on sources....
[00:09] <neyhay> YankDownUnder: tried both ext3 and 4  http://paste.ubuntu.com/570841/
[00:09] <pareli> are there any other way to do so new windows get centered other than using compiz?
[00:09] <Guest93163> aha!
[00:09] <Guest93163> geniuses the lot of ya
[00:09] <jrib> pareli: you could use devilspie
[00:09] <jrib> !devilspie | pareli
[00:09] <mickster04> bbiab
[00:10] <PhoenixSTF> maco: i have all security updates and repositories enable, on apt-get upgrade is says some have been keeped back
[00:10] <Guest93163> thanks alot then fellas/lasses im off to play with me ssh terminal
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> Guest93163: the sooner you forget about root, the better dude
[00:10] <Guest93163> i dont know why i tried root
[00:10] <Guest93163> frustration i imagine
[00:10] <maco> PhoenixSTF: and lists the kernels specifically?
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> Guest93163: if you connect with:  ssh -X name@server   you can use X forwarded apps :)
[00:10] <pareli> ubottu: so no other way than using 3rd party software?
[00:11] <PhoenixSTF> maco: its syas linux generic pae
[00:11] <mr_gnu> Is the "auto-complete" feature to search the repos in apt-get a some what new feature/patch? I don't remember it in the past.
[00:11] <Jonii> "Make sure you've a root and swap partition and that your windows partition has a mount point so you can access it."
[00:11] <Guest93163> im using an android phone as the client so i dunno about that
[00:11] <Jonii> How do I do this? Does doing this risk breaking my windows?
[00:11] <maco> PhoenixSTF: and if you run "sudo apt-get update" that doesnt change anything?
[00:11] <PhoenixSTF> nop
[00:11] <PhoenixSTF> maco : The following packages have been kept back:
[00:11] <PhoenixSTF>   linux-generic-pae linux-headers-generic-pae linux-image-generic-pae
[00:11] <Guest93163> well im off to play anyway. thanks guys
[00:11] <jrib> pareli: well presumably you're asking how to do in metacity since you specified wanting to avoid compiz, and metacity is meant to be a very straight-forward window manager.  So yes, you need to use something like devilspie
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> pareli: http://jetpackweb.com/blog/2009/08/06/ubuntu-tip-force-new-windows-to-open-centered-on-the-desktop/
[00:13] <Jonii> Like, how do I make sure windows partition has a mount point?
[00:13] <mr_gnu> Good ol' windows, gotta love the dual boot. ^_~
[00:14] <toastyjustice> I am trying to run a couple commands in the background using "at now", but nothing seems to be happening, nor is a job created, maybe I am doing something wrong?
[00:14] <PhoenixSTF> maco : is it on backports?
[00:15] <gr8Q> anyone run playonlinux here
[00:15] <jrib> toastyjustice: we can only know if you tell us what you are doing
[00:15] <jrib> gr8Q: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[00:15] <Jonii> Windows partition, mount point?
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> toastyjustice: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ClamAV   has an example of 'at' being used at the bottom
[00:15] <toastyjustice> Like: at now; touch /tmp/test;
[00:15] <nRy> does anyone know I can search if my system has a driver named: ds9490r
[00:15] <toastyjustice> Doesn't create the file
[00:16] <nRy> I need to find out if Ubuntu ships with this driver and if so if I can safely remove it
[00:16] <jrib> toastyjustice: you run at now, you get a new line, you type "touch /tmp/test", you press enter, you press ctrl-d
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> nRy: try:  sudo modprobe ds9490r      if you get no error, it exists
[00:17] <kj6lxu> my organizations email group has huge treads that go back and forth. not every one wants so much email. is there a way to have temporary email groups people can sign up for so thay that the email tread ????
[00:17] <pareli> can i turn off the capabilities to use mouse in a particular terminal?
[00:17] <toastyjustice> Jrib: Perfect, thanks! I knew it had to be the exit keystroke I was messing up
[00:18] <jrib> pareli: no idea, but I'm curious as to why?
[00:18] <entity> Hi guys. I wanna grow my ubuntu partition.
[00:18] <jrib> toastyjustice: at reads jobs from stdin (that's why it prompts you like that).  You could also do something like: echo touch /tmp/test | at now
[00:19] <ActionParsnip> entity: do it in live CD environment
[00:19] <toastyjustice> Oh yeah, that pipe uses the prior command as input, right?
[00:19] <pareli> jrib: i have a transparent terminal in the upper left corner of my desktop, and for more desktop intergration i was thinking of turning of the usage of mouse in that terminal
[00:19] <entity> fabulous.
[00:19] <jrib> toastyjustice: command1 | command2 sends stdout from command1 to stdin of command2
[00:20] <snowrichard> hello
[00:20] <toastyjustice> Gotcha, awesome.
[00:20] <snowrichard> just got hooked up to hughes net satellite internet today
[00:20] <nRy> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/96BuLHmJ
[00:20] <entity> Ahh ActionParsnip. I remember you. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll get on that.
[00:20] <jrib> pareli: so you'd want it to sort of pass through?  What do you want it to do when you right click on it?   Act like nothing happened, or act like you right clicked on the desktop?
[00:21] <th0r> pareli: depending on what is displayed in the terminal you might be better served to use something like conky
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> nRy: if you are root, you don't need sudo
[00:21] <voglster> any experts on routing here?
[00:21] <snowrichard> voip apps like paltalk or skype seem to have a little trouble with the audio streaming though
[00:22] <ActionParsnip> voglster: in what sense
[00:22] <nRy> ok, but does this mean the driver is not present?
[00:22] <ActionParsnip> nRy: you should also run:   mv /etc/modprobe.d/virtualgl /etc/modprobe.d/virtualgl.conf   to supress that message
[00:22] <pareli> jrib: i want so nothing happens when i click on it, just so when mouseover theres no way to click on the terimnal, the only way i want to use it is by: alt&tab
[00:22] <kj6lxu> my organizations email group has huge treads that go back and forth. not every one wants so much email. is there a way to have temporary email groups people can sign up for so thay that the email tread ????
[00:22] <avis-> snow erle
[00:22] <ActionParsnip> nRy: but no the driver doesn't exist
[00:23] <ActionParsnip> voglster: I can explain spanning tree and OSPF of you like but those are offtopic here
[00:23] <voglster> network A attached to internet <IP_ADDRESS>/24, network B attached to network A through an ubuntu linux box with 2 nics in it... network B <IP_ADDRESS>... the ubuntu linux box is set to ip_forward and i have internet access on netwrok B
[00:23] <jrib> pareli: oh I see, you don't want the window to get selected then.  I don't know, but have you looked at options like tilda or yakuake instead?
[00:23] <pareli> th0r: i am using conky, the terminal is not for displaying anything
[00:24] <ActionParsnip> voglster: ok, what addressing does network B use?
[00:24] <luqui> Hi, my computer thinks its battery is low when it's not.  Can i tell it not to take any action when it detects the battery is critically low?
[00:24] <ActionParsnip> voglster: ok, just read it
[00:24] <voglster> ActionParsnip, /24 <IP_ADDRESS>/24
[00:24] <Jonii> Now, when I install, this setup will remember that it's dual boot, and doesn't destroy my windows loader?
[00:24] <ActionParsnip> !ics | voglster
[00:24] <Firefishe> I'm using ubuntu 10.04 LTS.  I currently have:  OpenOffice.org 3.2.1   –   OOO320m19 (Build:9505)  –   ooo-build <IP_ADDRESS>, Ubuntu package 1:3.2.1-6ubuntu2~10.04.1  --  I've downloaded and uncompressed this file:  OOo_3.3.0_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz  --  What will happen if I run the `update' command from within the top-level directory?
[00:25] <pareli> jrib: i'l check into that, right now im using xfce4-terminal as the desktop terminal, the terminal itself can be configured to be totaly transparent + noborders, and so on.
[00:25] <voglster> ActionParsnip, internet works fine, but noting in network B can access resources in network A
[00:25] <ActionParsnip> Jonii: grub2 will overwrite the windows loader and will manage the dual boot for you entirely
[00:25] <voglster> ActionParsnip, but everything in network A can access network B resources.. http, ssh, rdp etc...
[00:25] <ActionParsnip> voglster: can you ping the IP addresses in LAN A from LAN B
[00:25] <Jonii> ActionParsnip, sounds good enough
[00:25] <voglster> ActionParsnip, and I can both ways
[00:25] <voglster> ActionParsnip, ping*
[00:25] <ActionParsnip> voglster: and can you ping names?
[00:25] <voglster> ActionParsnip, yup.. dns works fine
[00:26] <shigutso> I have a 1GB flashdrive with badblocks. Is there any Linux command to fix that? Or at least hide the badblocks?
[00:26] <jason__> guys, do i need a chromium apparmor profile? or it's ok the way as it is?
[00:26] <ActionParsnip> voglster: ok, what resources areyou trying to access
[00:26] <voglster> ActionParsnip, http, ssh, anything really...
[00:26] <ActionParsnip> jason__: seems fine here
[00:26] <ActionParsnip> voglster: are you using the local accounts when you SSH or do you have a domain controller?
[00:27] <jason__> ActionParnship, thx :-)
[00:27] <voglster> ActionParsnip, i can access those resources on network A's router from network B (i think but id need to verify) but i cannot get to a webserver located somewhere in network A
[00:27] <voglster> ActionParsnip, Local
[00:27] <ActionParsnip> voglster: if you can ping the IP then you shouold be able to connect to the services on the system as the logical connection is present
[00:28] <voglster> ActionParsnip, my thoughts exactly ;-)
[00:28] <pareli> jrib: by tilda and yakuka you mean drop-down terminal? for that i'm using guake-terminal
[00:28] <voglster> ActionParsnip, guessing its a firewall issue with network A's default gateway
[00:28] <jrib> pareli: yeah
[00:28] <nRy> <ActionParsnip: is that message going to possibly cause any problems on the system?
[00:28] <pareli> jrib: ok, thanks but il see
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> nRy: it means that the file with the bad name isn't being processed, so whatever you added in there isn't being used
[00:29] <pareli> jrib: into the posibilities on writing your own script for the window not to be selected by mouse
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> voglster: have you setup the forwarding of the ports used by the other protocols to go to the other LAN, kinda like an internal port forward
[00:30] <voglster> ActionParsnip, nope... in fact the ubuntu box has a blank firewall...
[00:30] <voglster> ActionParsnip, just accept all
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> voglster: strange
[00:31] <voglster> ActionParsnip, exactly
[00:31] <Jeruvy> voglster: its true, but you can quickly add a deny all rule and then add from there.
[00:32] <ActionParsnip> voglster: maybe you need a rule to push packets  destined to a certain subnet mask down the relevant interface
[00:32] <voglster> ActionParsnip, then why is ping working? hehe
[00:32] <ActionParsnip> voglster: not sure, maybe icmp is handled automagically
[00:33] <Bing0> Hi. Ubuntu 10.10.  What is the best way to share files between two Ubuntu machines?  I tried SSH but the overhead on the CPU is too high. This is LAN traffic so security isn't important for this.  Thanks!
[00:33] <aeon-ltd> !samba | Bing0
[00:33] <voglster> Bing0, samba?
[00:33] <avis-> su do
[00:33] <voglster> ActionParsnip, i like that... automagically
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> Bing0: samba is quick and dirty and will accommodate windows clients should you get any
[00:34] <ActionParsnip> voglster: I'd look at the route table of the central PC to make sure it smells right.
[00:34] <ActionParsnip> Bing0: its not the best way, as a best way doesn't exist
[00:35] <ActionParsnip> Bing0: you could setup tftp and it will be quick :)
[00:35] <voglster_> ActionParsnip, will do
[00:35] <harold> I need help with swap area. i am pretty novice at this. I have x64 version of maverick. 3gigs ram. do i need swap area?? I allocated free space on HDD of about 20 gigs to swap when i installed.
[00:36] <nRy> <ActionParsnip: ah! Thanks for the tip that sounds like it might be important since our system is based on VirtualGL
[00:36] <harold> I need help with swap area. i am pretty novice at this. I have x64 version of maverick. 3gigs ram. do i need swap area?? I allocated free space on HDD of about 20 gigs to swap when i installed.
[00:36] <voglster_> ActionParsnip, only 2 routes: <IP_ADDRESS>     *               <IP_ADDRESS>   U     0      0        0 eth1      <IP_ADDRESS>   *               <IP_ADDRESS>   U     0      0        0 eth0   plus a default
[00:37] <ActionParsnip> harold: if you want hibernate then you'll need swap, or if you expect to exhuast your RAM (Large image manipulation or video edittng will do that), You will need 3Gb RAM at least
[00:37] <drc> harold: conventional wisdom say swap = ram
[00:37] <ActionParsnip> voglster_: can you pastebin that please, irc is killing the formatting
[00:38] <voglster_> harold, you dont "need" swap if you never go over 3 gigs of ram but thats a BAAAD thing.. if you EVER do... system will panic and lock
[00:38] <harold> but I allocated free space of HDD to swap. I have other partitions which are logical not primary. can i change swap area to them?? Like windows uses pagefile in other partitions???
[00:38] <aeon-ltd> harold: i suggest you keep 1gb of swap for scratch space, but if you use hibernate i'd allocate more
[00:38] <davew> hello world
[00:38] <cruzj> any yahoo for ubuntu
[00:39] <WeThePeople> is it possible to hack a WinXp admin password from ubuntu?
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> cruzj: yahoo offer a tonne of services, which do you mean
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> WeThePeople: yes
[00:39] <voglster_> ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/EnDBUrDr
[00:39] <cruzj> yahoo native app for linux
[00:39] <WeThePeople> ActionParsnip, would you show me how?
[00:39] <harold> but I allocated free space of HDD to swap. I have other partitions which are logical not primary. can i change swap area to them?? Like windows uses pagefile in other partitions???
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> WeThePeople: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntucat/resetwindowspassword/
[00:39] <Bing0> ActionParsnip, sorry for the delay.  I was aware of Samba but I probably won't need Windows machines.  Does Samba have much overhead(well versus SSH)?
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> WeThePeople: that's how "secure" your OS is
[00:40] <ActionParsnip> Bing0: no, samba is pretty fast and light on CPU
[00:40] <Bing0> ok
[00:40] <ActionParsnip> !info chntpw
[00:40] <dostoj> how can i make changes in configuration editor permanent? in detail: i want the button layout to be like this: close,minimize,maximize:menu. However, everytime I change my system theme, the buttons get reset to the "normal" order, where they appear on the right top of the title bar. I tried both set as default and set mandatory but both didnt help
[00:40] <daniel_tree> how long should it take to compile the linux kernel ???
[00:40] <voglster_> ActionParsnip, just for good measure... iptables -L
[00:40] <harold> but I allocated free space of HDD to swap. I have other partitions which are logical not primary. can i change swap area to them?? Like windows uses pagefile in other partitions???
[00:40] <Bing0> ActionParsnip, i did consider samba but figured i'd ask in here.  side-question.  When I click connect to server(from task bar) FTP is a choice.  is that as efficient as browsing for files?
[00:40] <voglster_> ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/aeHc44rV
[00:40] <Bing0> ActionParsnip, or should I just try it and see? :)
[00:41] <ChogyDan> daniel_tree: a long time, on the order of hours
[00:41] <voglster_> Bing0, other options could be nfs?
[00:41] <harold> help here too please
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> Bing0: sure, it uses 2 ports so is wasteful that way but ftp is light
[00:41] <daniel_tree> like 2 or 3 or more ?
[00:41] <Bing0> ok thanks
[00:42] <ChogyDan> daniel_tree: I guess it depends on how fast a cpu you have
[00:42] <daniel_tree> ChogyDan, I fallow this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild
[00:42] <ActionParsnip> voglster_: I believe you need a route going the other way from the route output you said
[00:42] <blackstar> anyone know how can i enable lucid, and maverick to delete my tmp folder, at boot or shutdown, please?
[00:43] <daniel_tree> ChogyDan, do u think is it necesary to do the last part "using the ubuntu kernel configuration ??
[00:43] <harold> but I allocated free space of HDD to swap. I have other partitions which are logical not primary. can i change swap area to them?? Like windows uses pagefile in other partitions???
[00:43] <Jordan_U> Sakuya: What problem are you having specifically with SP1 and grub?
[00:43] <harold> guys swap area help please...
[00:43] <ChogyDan> daniel_tree: I guess not, what are you trying to do?
[00:44] <WeThePeople> ActionParsnip, do you think using knoppix will work instead of using 10.04 live cd
[00:44] <daniel_tree> ChogyDan, I want to upgrade the kernel.. I have an annoing bug ..hope it will get fixed this way
[00:45] <davew> Explain in details how you would modify the system-level Bash configuration files to log the login / logout of every single user on your Linux box.
[00:45] <ChogyDan> daniel_tree: there is the mainline kernel ppa, you can get any kernel just without ubuntu patches
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> WeThePeople: aslong as you can get that package in, the ultimate boot cd has it too
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> blackstar: http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/linux_beginner_books/unofficial_ubuntu_starter_guide/index_168.html
[00:45] <Jordan_U> ActionParsnip: To be fair, it's just as easy if not easier to reset your Ubuntu password if you have physical access.
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> blackstar: looks ok but I havent used it
[00:45] <voglster_> ActionParsnip, what do you mean?
[00:45] <daniel_tree> ChogyDan, what ppa ??
[00:45] <ChogyDan> daniel_tree: mainline kernel
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> Jordan_U: root pass is a little harder ;)
[00:46] <daniel_tree> ChogyDan, can u give me some more details pls ?? i dont understand
[00:47] <daniel_tree> ChogyDan, where can I get this ppa from ?
[00:47] <Jordan_U> ActionParsnip: No, it's not. But this is getting offtopic.
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> Jordan_U: aye
[00:47] <ChogyDan> daniel_tree: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/    download and install the ones you want
[00:48] <bc81> dostoj: i dont know of a way to make it permanent, so maybe create a script that you can execute to easily put them back
[00:48] <blackstar> thanks Action
[00:48] <davew> Explain in details how you would modify the system-level Bash configuration files to log the login / logout of every single user on your Linux box. can anyone answer this
[00:48] <sasy360> guys i'm trying to compile a software and it needs a package but it's packaged with a little different in title so it could not find it
[00:49] <pareli> i cant't seem to open gconf-conf, isn't gconf-conf standard on gnome?
[00:49] <Sakuya> Jordan_U:  this http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/w7itproSP/thread/9083e953-f06c-4041-8977-115235359e23
[00:49] <Zoso> hey does anyone know where to point me to a chat about LDAP/SAMBA
[00:49] <allisonvoll> sasy360: what is the package?
[00:49] <daniel_tree> ChogyDan, should I cancel compiling the kernel ??and try this ppa method ?? or would it take as long ?
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> pareli: gconf-editor do you mean?
[00:49] <Roman34> Every 60 seconds (exactly) the sound goes mute if I use build in loudspeaker but never happens with headphones (works just fine) on Ubuntu 10.10, any clue?
[00:49] <shcherbak> pareli: gconf-editor ?
[00:49] <WeThePeople> ActionParsnip, LOL, this is so easy!!
[00:50] <bc81> dostoj: something like this: http://pastebin.com/mRwALAuV   (make executable, click it when you wan the button layout back)
[00:50] <blackstar> ActionParsnip .. the files does not exist on lucid or maverick
[00:50] <ChogyDan> daniel_tree: the ppa would only take a few minutes, the other a few hours.  It is allot quicker.  You should be able to try and install some of the ppa kernels while the compile is running
[00:50] <ActionParsnip> WeThePeople: yeah, its good for helping folks who forget their admin pass :)
[00:50] <sasy360> allisonvoll: actually i'm on sabayon. trying to compile midori and it needs valac but it's packaged as vala
[00:51] <dostoj> bc81, thanks, i will try that
[00:51] <daniel_tree> ChogyDan, is it ok if I install the latest one v.26.38 -rc6 natty on 10.10 ?
[00:51] <allisonvoll> sasy360: you can do # apt-cache search valac
[00:51] <ChogyDan> ya
[00:51] <pareli> ActionParsnip: gconf-editor is that the gnome registry editor?
[00:52] <ActionParsnip> blackstar: it assumes server which runs syslogd
[00:52] <pareli> ActionParsnip: that did the trick
[00:52] <allisonvoll> sasy360: if you want to compile by hand, probably you will need the -dev package with contains librarys and headers files
[00:52] <ActionParsnip> pareli: its the gnome settings editor, its similar to the windows registry but isnt nearly as sensitive
[00:52] <blackstar> ok, how about and a desktop can  that be enable also?
[00:53] <nRy> actionparsnip: http://pastebin.com/sWUJu6vg
[00:53] <daniel_tree> ChogyDan, only the image and the headers ?? or should I download all the files ???
[00:53] <ActionParsnip> blackstar: if you add the line to one of the stop commands in the system it will work, or make your own init.d script and have the shutdown stuff call it
[00:54] <ChogyDan> daniel_tree: yeah, image and headers
[00:54] <ActionParsnip> nRy: use tab to complete the filenames
[00:54] <blackstar> ok cool
[00:54] <tripelbaby> I want to delete a lot and rewrite the rest to make all the files fit in snugly. I want to partition my HD, err repartition. Does this make sense? --- oops, doing Properties on my 1T drive does not reveal how full it is. I should Know How to find out. (I did places computer r-click on the drive)
[00:54] <ChogyDan> daniel_tree: image, headers, and headers_all
[00:54] <Roman34> Can I get some help please: Every 60 seconds (exactly) the sound goes mute if I use build in loudspeaker but never happens with headphones (works just fine) on Ubuntu 10.10, any clue?
[00:54] <Jordan_U> Sakuya: Interesting, thanks for the link. You can re-install grub from a liveCD/USB or even install grub to a CD/USB so that it doesn't need to be in the mbr if you'd like to try to work around the problem. It is truly surprising though.
[00:55] <daniel_tree> ChogyDan, linux-headers-2.6.38-020638rc6_2.6.38-020638rc6.201102220910_all.deb this one  too ??

[00:56] <StoqLive> hi
[00:56] <Bing0> hi
[00:57] <StoqLive> i'm using a usb stick...my PC got a kernel panic
[00:57] <nRy> ActionParsnip: that seemed to work now
[00:57] <nRy> went back to command line
[00:57] <StoqLive> anyone can help me?what should i do in this case
[00:57] <StoqLive> ?
[00:58] <mcnellis> I'm trying to compile a program in 32bit mode on my 64 bit machine but I'm getting: /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.4.5/libstdc++.so when searching for -lstdc++
[00:58] <StoqLive> 8.244756 kernel panic not syncing
[00:58] <stanman246> is it possible to create multiple ssh keys?
[00:58] <mcnellis> I just installed libc6-dev-i386 package
[00:58] <ActionParsnip> nRy: cool
[00:59] <StoqLive> the  procblem occur after try to install a app called basket no pad
[00:59] <StoqLive> note pad
[01:00] <StoqLive> so the apps  not start very much  and i got 8.244756 kernel panic not syncing
[01:00] <sasy360> damn i'm so noob on irc :( how can i reply?
[01:00] <bc81> Roman34: laptop or desktop?  battery or A/C power?
[01:00] <ActionParsnip> mcnellis: grab the 32bit deb for libstdc++6-4.4-dev  and extract it, then copy libstdc++.so to /usr/lib32
[01:00] <allisonvoll> StoqLive: you try to select an prior kernel in grub menu?
[01:01] <StoqLive> allisonvoll yes, i tried but all kernel show the same problem
[01:01] <Roman34> bc81.... laptop HP6510
[01:01] <StoqLive> allisonvoll i tried with nrecovery mode too
[01:01] <mcnellis> thanks for the tip ActionParsnip will try now
[01:01] <Roman34> both battery or power
[01:01] <StoqLive> allisonvoll show me /script/local-bottom ...done
[01:02] <mickster04> sasy360: reply to what? usually you just type?
[01:02] <StoqLive> allisonvoll /script/init-bottom ...done
[01:02] <Paddy_NI> How do I install Joomla locally on this laptop, I have already installed "apache2 mysql-server phpmyadmin php5" via apt and I have downloaded the "Joomla_1.6.0-Stable-Full_Package.tar.gz" to my downloads folder... what must I do next?
[01:02] <Paddy_NI> The read me makes little sense
[01:02] <allisonvoll> StoqLive i suggest to enter in mono user mode, and them disable/remove the app module you had installed
[01:02] <Roman34> when i chnage and uncheck mute after exactly 60 seconds chages to mute if using default loudpeaker
[01:02] <StoqLive> /sbin/init : no such file or directory...after it 8.244756 kernel panic not syncing
[01:02] <mcnellis> should I grab the .a too ActionParsnip ?
[01:03] <mickster04> Paddy_NI: you should learn to read the read me:p this is ubuntu help, not lamp or joomla?
[01:03] <StoqLive> what key i have to type to enter in this mode?
[01:03] <ruffdog> Paddy_NI, did you try dpkg -install [packagename] ?
[01:03] <sasy360> mickster04: i'm using xchat , i see you type nick name with : it is not a reply?
[01:03] <StoqLive> or i can remove it using my usb stick or only inside system?
[01:03] <Roman34> bc81: when i change and uncheck mute after exactly 60 seconds changes to mute if using default loudspeaker
[01:03] <allisonvoll> StoqLive you chose kernel with (single user mode) in grub menu
[01:03] <Paddy_NI> mickster04: yeah your right I was not thinking lol, ask in the correct channel would help :)
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> mcnellis: if its required, yes
[01:04] <mickster04> sasy360: when i press tab it auto completes your nick and adds : at the end, it is unnecessary
[01:04] <Paddy_NI> ruffdog: no I installed apache2 mysql-server phpmyadmin php5 via apt
[01:04] <Pete_> Um does any one no how to connect a laptop to ps3 using a crossover cable?
[01:04] <mickster04> sasy360: just using someones nick is enough for it to be highlighted to them, no extra symbols needed
[01:04] <daniel> the theme restored to the default theme when I startup ...to restore it back I have to log out and log in again...any ideas how can I fix that ?
[01:04] <Paddy_NI> ruffdog: and there is no joomla .deb afaik :)
[01:04] <bc81> Roman34: it happens when using a specific audio application, or no matter?
[01:05] <sasy360> mickster04: that worked, thanks :)
[01:05] <mickster04> Paddy_NI: i assume the apache install worked? (localhost in browser should show something)
[01:05] <mickster04> sasy360: yeah tab complete is awesome
[01:05] <mickster04> !tab > sasy360
[01:05] <Paddy_NI> mickster04: Yep it says it works
[01:05] <StoqLive> ok..edit the grub menu and put the "S " or the word single in the kernel line
[01:05] <Roman34> no matter.... the light of mute is on I push it and 60 secs later it comes back
[01:05] <Paddy_NI> mickster04: but no content
[01:05] <StoqLive> i'll try now
[01:05] <StoqLive> i'll right back
[01:06] <Roman34> I'm not alone with this problem on forums and no solution for moment
[01:06] <mickster04> Paddy_NI: thats fine then, at least you have apache up and running
[01:06] <allisonvoll> StoqLive: for every kernel version  in grub menu, there should be one with (single user)
[01:06] <Paddy_NI> mickster04: oh, cool :)
[01:07] <ruffdog> Paddy_NI, yeah sorry.  *kicking himself* didn't fully read message.  I don't know the software you are talking about :(
[01:07] <ubuntu_> hola
[01:07] <bc81> Roman34: show me the forum thread please, out of curiosity.  did you file a bug on launchpad?
[01:07] <Paddy_NI> no worries mate I am going to ask in #joomla to see if anyone there fancies giving me a hand
[01:07] <juabn> jajaja ubuntu aca hablamos ingles
[01:08] <mickster04> Paddy_NI: http://www.joomla.org/about-joomla/getting-started.html

[01:08] <travis_> ok I need help, nevermind that I was running win7 with no problem but I need help.. I installed ubuntu 10.10 in an "along side" fashion and now I cant boot into ubuntu, i read something that said to install lilo which got me back to my windows partition, is there a way to make the dual boot work, I dont have a windows disk.. HELP!?!?
[01:08] <mickster04> Paddy_NI: i assume you have read http://downloads.joomlacode.org/docmanfileversion/1/7/4/17471/1.5_Installation_Manual_version_0.5.pdf
[01:09] <immy> hi
[01:09] <tripelbaby> I dont understand most of the results of df -h -- I understand this line > /dev/sdc5             884G   84G  756G  11% /  < the next ones (starting with none) tell me about /dev   /dev/shm  /var/run  /var/lock  and  /lib/init/rw      ---  I dont even know how to phrase a question. I know they are parts of the system. why are these parts noted in df -h ?
[01:09] <mickster04> immy: hey
[01:09] <immy> are any of you connected by tor sasl?
[01:09] <immy> or maybe if you were ud rather not say
[01:10] <mickster04> !anyone
[01:10] <immy> oops - ok so ive seen when some ppl join or quit freenode their hostname/ip is not shown
[01:11] <sasy360> allisonvoll: sorry i'm using sabayon. no one were available on their channel so i came here. can i symlink it or something? valac to vala?
[01:11] <ice799> "Package BLAH is not available, but is referred to by another package."
[01:11] <ice799> How do I find out which packages refer to BLAH ?
[01:11] <drc> immy: /j #freenode and for a cloak
[01:11] <bastidraZor> immy: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks  also talk to those in #freenode
[01:11] <mickster04> indoctrinated: what is package blah?
[01:12] <ice799> mickster04: did you mean ice799?
[01:12] <allisonvoll> sasy360: i can't tell because i'd know about vala
[01:12] <allisonvoll> bye
[01:12] <travis_> i need help with a dual boot issue
[01:13] <mickster04> ice799: yes
[01:13] <mickster04> indoctrinated: ignore me :p
[01:13] <ice799> mickster04: just any arbitrary package
[01:13] <ice799> given an arbitrary package how do i find out which packages refer to it
[01:13] <mickster04> ice799: it usually depends on the package
[01:13] <strigoi66> travis_: what seems to be the issue?
[01:14] <bastidraZor> indoctrinated: dpkg -L packagename or dpkg -S filename
[01:14] <tripelbaby> relating to understanding (df -h output) I'd like to know how much of the drive err partition I can repartion off. I have a 1T drive and a partion of 750G and I've used 84G. How much can I take off for another partition. I think I want to keep things in NTFS. I want a partition for media, for photos, for backup of fotos.
[01:14] <bastidraZor> indoctrinated: -L will tell you what a package will install.. -S will tell you what package installed said file
[01:14] <mickster04> ice799: like bastidraZor said
[01:15] <ice799> bastidraZor: that isnt what i need
[01:15] <ice799> I need the reverse.
[01:15] <ice799> I need to know which packages refer to a specific package
[01:16] <bastidraZor> ice799: apt-cache show packagename .. will show what packages are related to
[01:16] <mickster04> thanks bastidraZor
[01:16] <arand> Would rdepends be the thing to look at there?
[01:16] <travis_> strigoi66: have a win7 mochine, just installed ubuntu 10.10 in an "along side" install to dual boot.. recieved errors trying to boot into ubuntu after install, also into windows, read that i needed to install lilo from live cd to get back into windows, which i did... just want dual boot to work in the hopes that i can shitcan windows.. but need to dual boot for now.. thats it
[01:17] <travis_> strigoi66: hope that made sense
[01:18] <bastidraZor> i assume "Provides: .... " would be
[01:18] <ice799> bastidraZor mickster04: i ended up grepping /var/lib/dpkg/available
[01:18] <ice799> and found it
[01:18] <mickster04> ice799: well done
[01:19] <StoqLive> hello
[01:19] <PaulNM> Hi, Is it possible to feed a service fingerprint from one nmap run into a newer version of nmap on another machine that doesn't have access to the scanned network?
[01:19] <StoqLive> anyone can help me with a kernel panic
[01:20] <arlander> help
[01:20] <StoqLive> i can't start ina  single user mode
[01:20] <mickster04> arlander: 42
[01:20] <arlander> exit
[01:20] <bastidraZor> ice799: that shows the same information as apt-cache show
[01:20] <arlander> how to get outta here
[01:20] <StoqLive> the error is /sbin/init :no such file or directory
[01:20] <arlander> lol
[01:20] <tripelbaby> All hard drive names start with "/dev" which simply means "device"  I did not know
[01:20] <mickster04> arlander: /quit ?
[01:20] <StoqLive>   kernel panic not syncing
[01:21] <mickster04> StoqLive: has it ever worked?
[01:21] <mickster04> StoqLive: or is this a fresh install?
[01:21] <StoqLive> 8.244756 kernel panic not sycing
[01:21] <StoqLive> <IP_ADDRESS>-generic
[01:21] <StoqLive> i tried the otherts kernel in my grub list
[01:21] <mickster04> has it ever worked, fresh install?
[01:22] <StoqLive> but got the same error...i think the error occurs after try to install a app called basket9notepad)
[01:22] <StoqLive> basket (notepad)...i don't if it is  problem..or after the update by canonical...
[01:22] <mickster04> StoqLive: what does that do?
[01:22] <StoqLive> mickster04 yes,it's
[01:23] <StoqLive> the app is a note manager
[01:23] <StoqLive> but run with kde envoroment but my enviroment was gnome
[01:24] <mickster04> uhuh, so how did you expect that to work? i mean it shouldn't cause a kernel panic but... and i assume all kernels reach kernel panic?
[01:24] <StoqLive> after the install and remove this app i saw that some libs are duplicated and triplicated at /usr/lib...i decide to remove some
[01:24] <StoqLive> mickster04 yes
[01:24] <mickster04> StoqLive: oh man, well done, sudo apt-get autoremove && apt-get autoclean would have been  better
[01:25] <mickster04> StoqLive: i think you may have quite broken your install...i mean kernel panics are beyond me, if you can boot a live cd and back up any data do...otherwise...i dunno what to suggest
[01:26] <StoqLive> mickter04  i tried it
[01:26] <mickster04> StoqLive: tried what?
[01:26] <mickster04> StoqLive: tried what?
[01:27] <StoqLive> to clean the app installation,but when i try to remove the ubuntu software center don't work
[01:27] <StoqLive> so i try to start by terminal,and there i saw the libs and the error like more libs than expected
[01:27] <mickster04> StoqLive: are you natively english speaking?
[01:28] <mickster04> explain what you mean by software centre not working
[01:28] <teddyb> whats the best thing to do when a software install freezes (at applying changes)
[01:28] <mickster04> how did it not work?
[01:28] <StoqLive> mickster04 no no,my native langua is brazilian portuguse...my english is it...bad,but i've only it for now
[01:29] <mickster04> StoqLive: no it's ok, there are channels for your native toungue?
[01:29] <mickster04> StoqLive: it may be easier for you to get help there?
[01:29] <StoqLive> stop answer
[01:29] <mickster04> StoqLive: purely for the sake of understanding
[01:29] <leaveboy> stop answer
[01:29] <mickster04> teddyb: wait?
[01:29] <mickster04> teddyb: it might still be working?
[01:29] <StoqLive> yes
[01:30] <teddyb> its been over an hour
[01:30] <teddyb> and its an install of wine
[01:30] <StoqLive> no  no for an hour? a simple app?
[01:30] <mickster04> StoqLive: so you explain what didn't work when you tried uninstalling using softwrae centre?
[01:30] <teddyb> i wanted to make sure it was frozen :)
[01:30] <nejode> teddyb, what are you installing? some apps requiere you to accept a licence
[01:30] <mickster04> teddyb: uhm , well cancell it and try again, how are you installing it? software centre, synaptics or terminal? (or sumat else)
[01:31] <StoqLive> so,the problem was after try to remove this app called "basket notepad"
[01:32] <mickster04> StoqLive: well did you install it using software centre?
[01:32] <StoqLive> the system stop to work i did a reboot and got a kernel panic
[01:32] <StoqLive> yes
[01:32] <mickster04> StoqLive: sounds like you have corrupted your system
[01:32] <teddyb> mickster04 software center (i dont see a cancel option anywhere)
[01:32] <mickster04> StoqLive: it may have been writing to the hdd and you just forced a reboot
[01:32] <teddyb> and nejode, wine1.2
[01:33] <mickster04> teddyb: uhm. well try closing the software centre see what happens :p iunno really :/ system monitor might be able to tell you if the process is zombied?
[01:33] <StoqLive> don't have a ideia to recover my system...the init process (pid 1) can't start
[01:33] <nejode> teddyb, close the window and run the command "sudo apt-get -f install"
[01:34] <mickster04> StoqLive: get a live disk, mount the hdd back up your data, reinstall imo :p but i don't really know how to rescue an install
[01:34] <mickster04> !rescue
[01:34] <sacarlson> travis_: you must have read a very old post if it told you to install lilo,  we have used grub2 for years,  how did you install lilo,  what did it change?
[01:34] <mickster04> StoqLive: see what ubottu wrote?
[01:34] <teddyb> nejode E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[01:34] <teddyb> nejode and i closed the window
[01:35] <StoqLive> mickster04 /sbin/init ? no such file or directory
[01:35] <mickster04> teddyb: wait a second for it to kill it properly
[01:35] <StoqLive> mickster04 8.244756 kernel panic not sycing
[01:35] <DandyKoffin> I can't scroll through spells on Diablo II running in WINE; how can I fix this?
[01:35] <mickster04> !rescue | StoqLive:
[01:35] <nejode> teddyb, do you have synaptic running too?
[01:35] <DandyKoffin> also, sounds and cutscenes don'ts work
[01:35] <mickster04> DandyKoffin: ask #wine
[01:35] <DandyKoffin> k
[01:36] <mickster04> DandyKoffin: what does the wine appdb say about diablo2
[01:36] <teddyb> nope
[01:36] <DandyKoffin> mickster04: what do you mean?
[01:36] <mickster04> DandyKoffin: you know what the wineappDB is right?
[01:37] <DandyKoffin> mickster04: no
[01:37] <DandyKoffin> but I'll look it up
[01:37] <GeekMan> how do i install openoffice 3.0
[01:37] <GeekMan> not 3.2
[01:37] <tripelbaby> I have a 884 gig partition. I want to carve it up and have a separate /home  756G are free now. I'd like to plan now here and not whine later after making errors, losing stuff, etc.
[01:37] <GeekMan> i cant find it in synpatic man
[01:37] <teddyb> nejode no i dont, but software center isnt quitting the install when i close it
[01:37] <ChogyDan> tripelbaby: why do you want to do that?
[01:38] <mickster04> DandyKoffin: ok, so yeah, look into the wine app DB and it'll tell you about compatibilty with lots of apps thru wine
[01:38] <tripelbaby> geekman http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-To-Install-OpenOffice-org-3-0-in-Ubuntu-8-10-96449.shtml
[01:38] <DandyKoffin> mickster04: thanks
[01:38] <mickster04> tripelbaby: back up everything first :p
[01:38] <tripelbaby> geekman I googled it
[01:38] <mickster04> tripelbaby: that link is out of date
[01:38] <tripelbaby> mickster I cant back up everything, no space to do that. Why not? Because I didnt partition it.
[01:39] <mickster04> tripelbaby: what is the fs atm
[01:39] <nejode> teddyb, give me a minute
[01:39] <sacarlson> GeekMan: it might be posible to pin openoffice to an older version, normaly you pin when you already have or had it installed and want to keep it
[01:39] <GeekMan> sacarlson ?
[01:40] <wangbj> how to use this?
[01:40] <mickster04> GeekMan: any particular reason?
[01:40] <GeekMan> i need an extention to work
[01:40] <mickster04> wangbj: press key; repeat step one;
[01:40] <GeekMan> :P
[01:40] <tripelbaby> mickster04 re geekman and softpedia link. wont the terminal instructions still work.
[01:40] <sacarlson> GeekMan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto
[01:40] <ChogyDan> tripelbaby: if all you want is a separate /home, there is a new gui feature next release I believe that allows you to reinstall maintaining /home folder.
[01:40] <GeekMan> what is pinning
[01:40] <GeekMan> lol
[01:41] <GeekMan> nvm
[01:41] <mickster04> GeekMan: see if you can't type sudo apt-get install openoff[tab] and see if there is a 3.0 option listed
[01:41] <rcmaehl> WTF!? I got a kernel panic unplugging my usb headset
[01:41] <nejode> teddyb, go to system>administration>system monitor
[01:41] <GeekMan> i have 10.04
[01:41] <teddyb> nejode yeah
[01:41] <tripelbaby> chogydan I dont want to reinstall. I want to have things on a NTFS partition. also things are safer in separate partitions.
[01:41] <WeThePeople> actionparsnip, you here
[01:41] <Roasted> how do I make rhythmbox NOT pop up automatically when I plug in my sandisk player?
[01:41] <mickster04> tripelbaby: i think you can resize the partitions
[01:42] <tripelbaby> I also want to learn how things work internally and how much of my not-too-old reive is already written on mickster04
[01:42] <nejode> teddyb, go to the precess tab
[01:42] <rcmaehl> Is that a bug or soemthing?
[01:42] <ChogyDan> tripelbaby: not sure ntfs is good for /home
[01:42] <nejode> *process
[01:42] <teddyb> nejode yep
[01:43] <nejode> teddyb, look for software-center. right click and kill process
[01:43] <immy> hi again
[01:43] <mickster04> tripelbaby: so what is the situation now, and how do you want it to be...explain in full pls
[01:43] <tripelbaby> ChogyDan, I want ntfs for data. I was trying to simplify my question, which worked.. because the original question and the second and third try (yesterday and today) got no responses.
[01:43] <GeekMan> mickster04 do i type [tab] or press it
[01:43] <Gryphon4200> I'm connecting to my Ubuntu server via Kitty (a Putty clone) and I'd like to use Midnight Commander which works fine but it's not being rendered correctly.
[01:43] <tripelbaby> mickster04, ok just a minute.
[01:43] <teddyb> there isnt one
[01:44] <nejode> teddyb, geeks will kill me for saying this: reboot
[01:44] <GeekMan> mickster if i type out tab i get:: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[01:44] <teddyb> was thinking that would be a good way to do it
[01:44] <DandyKoffin> mickster04: Diablo II runs, but I can't scroll through spells
[01:44] <immy> i want to install drivers/scripts for my samsung scx-4521f printer. do you think I should try and install it via live CD first and once I find a method to get it printing and scanning boot up to my installation and install? i don't want to mess things up or add cruft
[01:45] <teddyb> thanks for the help nejode
[01:45] <WeThePeople> how would i find out what the numbers and letters are of the mounted drive...e.g.493D9CB55373C3DD?
[01:45] <immy> i think you can browse in /dev
[01:45] <Roasted> Is there a reason why Rhythmbox doesn't detect all of my music on my mp3 player? Each time I plug it in, Rhythmbox "imports" a different number. It varies from, 0, 690, 665, 700, 890, 1100, etc. Yet the number NEVER changes....
[01:45] <nejode> teddyb,  remember to run "sudo apt-get -f install" after reboot to fix the broken install
[01:45] <Gryphon4200> WeThePeople: Are you attempting to find out the /deb/???? stuff is?
[01:45] <Jeruvy> WeThePeople: the uuid you mean?
[01:46] <immy> i think you can use df?
[01:46] <immy> df -h i think
[01:46] <WeThePeople> Jeruvy, yes i think
[01:47] <GeekMan> browse deb yeah
[01:47] <GeekMan> *dev
[01:47] <Jeruvy> WeThePeople: you can check your mount's for that (or the kernel..)
[01:47] <Roasted> Is there a reason why Rhythmbox doesn't detect all of my music on my mp3 player? Each time I plug it in, Rhythmbox "imports" a different number. It varies from, 0, 690, 665, 700, 890, 1100, etc. Yet the number NEVER changes....
[01:47] <sacarlson> WeThePeople: try blkid
[01:47] <endeavormac> i'm trying to create a startup disk with the
[01:47] <ruan>  /dev/disk/by-uuid
[01:47] <ruan> go there
[01:47] <endeavormac> startup disk creation tool. I am stuck on "Installing the bootloader"
[01:47] <Jeruvy> Roasted: have you tried gmusicbrowser?
[01:48] <Godslastering> i'm doing some rendering in blender, and it seems to not be using my GPU at all, any way to test if it is, and/or fix it?
[01:48] <DandyKoffin> the Diablo II wineappDB doesn't have much
[01:48] <WeThePeople> sacarlson, thankyou
[01:48] <DandyKoffin> didn't help
[01:48] <Roasted> Jeruvy, no, but I'd REALLY like to stick with rhythmbox since it does a nice job of playlist handling with my Sansa...
[01:48] <albert> hello
[01:48] <Roasted> Jeruvy, I just hate how right now, it picked up 461 songs when there's almost 1200 on here.
[01:48] <drc> Roasted: After watching this struggle for days :) ... maybe it's time to try #rhythmbox on irc.gnome.org ?
[01:48] <mickster04> DandyKoffin: well ask wine channel
[01:48] <Jeruvy> Roasted: OK, Can't say I've had any luck with rythmbox  personally.
[01:48] <GeekMan> Roasted where did you buy the songs
[01:49] <GeekMan> if you did
[01:49] <Roasted> GeekMan, a lot of them were ripped
[01:49] <theos> hi guys :) do we have an m4b player in ubuntu? totem and vlc cant play it i guess
[01:49] <g_0_0> Roasted, so you got your fuze working?
[01:49] <immy> karma
[01:49] <ruan> lol
[01:49] <Roasted> g_0_0, lol, are you kidding me? of course not.
[01:49] <mickster04> GeekMan: press it:D
[01:49] <speedrunnerG55> what is a goood irc client for ubuntu
[01:49] <speedrunnerG55> xD
[01:49] <g_0_0> Roasted, :)
[01:49] <Jeruvy> Roasted: Gmusicbrowser handles my gvfs library without concern.
[01:49] <mickster04> speedrunnerG55: irssi
[01:49] <Roasted> g_0_0, I keep wnating to get rhythmbox working, since it's worked the best so far. It just doesn't detect all of my music right.
[01:49] <ruan> speedrunnerG55: irssi/chatzilla/xchat
[01:49] <theos> speedrunnerG55, xchat is what i use :)
[01:49] <GeekMan> mickster04 if i press it it just completes the word openoffice thats it
[01:49] <Gryphon4200> What's the term type that mc needs to render correctly?
[01:50] <g_0_0> Roasted,  did you try the link I gave you yesterday?
[01:50] <speedrunnerG55> ok ill use xchat
[01:50] <mickster04> GeekMan: press it again then, and it'll give you a list of things that match
[01:50] <Roasted> Jeruvy, I'm trying it now, but I'm still very curious about rhythmbox.
[01:50] <trebuchet> what if compression software were to use gpu's to perform calculations?
[01:50] <tokinjoe> just installed 10.10 on a virtual machine inside windows XP, having problems changing screen resolution, assuming i need to install the proper drivers? (intel 4 series chipset family)
[01:50] <Roasted> g_0_0, uh, what was in the link, the .is_audio_player file?
[01:50] <g_0_0> Roasted, yep but you had to edit it
[01:50] <immy> i guess i'll try installing my samsung scx-4521f printer via liveCD first
[01:50] <xrdodrx> Does Ubuntu have fluid handwriting recognition like Windows 7?
[01:50] <Roasted> oh look! Rhythmbox has detected 482 songs this time, whereas 5 minutes ago it was 461. BUT... there's 1200 on here. Isn't that cute?
[01:50] <Roasted> g_0_0, yeah, tried it. didn't work.
[01:51] <GeekMan> oh i didnt give it enough time i guess lol
[01:51] <nejode> tokinjoe, if you're using virtualbox you need to install "guest additions"
[01:51] <Roasted> no WONDER they're switching to Banshee in 11.04
[01:51] <Roasted> (oh snap)
[01:51] <Jeruvy> Roasted: I personally gave up on rythmbox
[01:51] <sadistic_angel> hola
[01:51] <mickster04> xrdodrx: i don't think either have it inbuilt?
[01:51] <mickster04> !sp
[01:51] <sacarlson> immy: if you install anything in livecd when you reboot it won't be there
[01:51] <mickster04> !es
[01:51] <Roasted> too bad banshee shuts off when I open it
[01:51] <Roasted> do I really have to boot up windows to manage my music? really?
[01:52] <xrdodrx> mickster04,  yes it does
[01:52] <Jeruvy> Roasted: I would.
[01:52] <immy> thats fine... i don't want to mess up my install or add cruft
[01:52] <Roasted> Jeruvy, I refuse.
[01:52] <Roasted> I absolutely refuse.
[01:52] <xrdodrx>  windows I mean
[01:52] <sadistic_angel> i use aqua lung of vlc
[01:52] <Jeruvy> Roasted: good luck with that.
[01:52] <GeekMan> mickster04 what exactly am i trying to find in this list of 500+ possibilites lol
[01:52] <theos> Roasted, you dont have to use windows now :)
[01:52] <mickster04> xrdodrx: well i dunno, i have never heard of it?
[01:52] <hydester> how do i know what user account a service uses?  i'm getting permission denied on a service (mongodb) trying to use a file owned by root.  troubleshooting
[01:52] <GeekMan> ooo 3.0 right
[01:52] <Roasted> theos, actually yeah. I do.
[01:52] <immy> i just want to get a method that works for printing and scanning - so first thru livecd then once I get it working ill redo on my local install
[01:52] <mickster04> GeekMan: add 3 before pressing tab
[01:52] <Roasted> theos, because I like to , you know, manage my music collection on my mp3 player.
[01:52] <Roasted> theos, evidently all of the linux players fail to do so.
[01:53] <drc> Roasted: I'd try #rhythmbox on irc.gnome.org (the horse's mouth) ... after all this time, it can't hurt
[01:53] <theos> Roasted, why so? whats your problem in linux?
[01:53] <Jeruvy> Roasted: gmusicbrowser is the only player that manages my library, rythmbox is crap.
[01:53] <ruan> there still are more
[01:53] <sacarlson> immy: for that kind of thing I use virtualbox so I can try it and not break anything. in fact in ubuntu 8.04 I ran virtualbox to get my printer to work on a 64bit machine
[01:53] <mickster04> hydester: use sudo with that command
[01:53] <Teligard> hello
[01:54] <xrdodrx>  Does anyone know of a handwriting recognition system for Ubuntu that does not require you to write
[01:54] <speedrunnerG55> what about smuxi?
[01:54] <xrdodrx> in boxes**?
[01:54] <theos> Roasted, almost all players in ubuntu can manage mp3 atleast. m4b is a problem i guess
[01:54] <Teligard> I was wondering if anyone has had issues where their floppy and hard drives go through a seek check about 20 times after logging in
[01:54] <Roasted> theos, rhythmbox won't see all of my music. each time I plug in, it sees a different amount. 490, 482, 1100, 690, 800, 700, 665, it just sees random amounts and seems to skip over a lot of bands I have on there. Banshee works but shuts off at random times and its playlist support as of now sucks, exaile's playlists come up empty on my sansa when I unplug and all other players don't have the support I need.
[01:54] <trebuchet> lol
[01:54] <immy> thx for the tip sacarlson
[01:54] <Teligard> additionally, I run into a similiar issue with the login audio
[01:54] <Gryphon4200> What's the term type that mc needs to render correctly?
[01:54] <Teligard> (it plays over itself several times)
[01:55] <l1nuxman> I have a weird problem when I open rar files in archive manager. I have unrar installed and can list my .jpg files but when I try to extract some of them (some do work) they don't extract or can't really open them.
[01:55] <ponbiki> y access to the channels and then had my oline remved
[01:55] <theos> Roasted, maybe you have a bad install of ubuntu. or you messed it up someway?
[01:55] <moes> mickster04, Is there a command I can use in a terminal to list my optical drives
[01:55] <ponbiki> oops
[01:55] <g_0_0> Roasted, have you tried songbird?
[01:55] <Roasted> theos, does the same thing on my laptop.
[01:55] <sacarlson> xrdodrx: take a look at ocr apps https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OCR
[01:55] <Roasted> g_0_0, songbird died.
[01:55] <GeekMan> mickster04 it wont work "sudo apt-get install openoffice3[tab] .... or openoff3[tab]
[01:55] <mickster04> moes: probably
[01:55] <theos> Roasted, which mp3 player?
[01:55] <mickster04> GeekMan: what happens?
[01:55] <Roasted> theos, sandisk sansa fuze
[01:55] <g_0_0> Roasted, there are still unsupported releases as far as I'm aware
[01:55] <Teligard> I'm running 10.10 x64, kernel 2.6.35-26-generic
[01:55] <GeekMan> nothing i get a beep
[01:56] <Roasted> g_0_0, I'm trying to get into that rhythmbox chat. Is it not preloaded in xchat??
[01:56] <mickster04> GeekMan: press tab a couple of times till it lists stuff?
[01:56] <mickster04> GeekMan: try openo[tab]
[01:56] <Teligard> It started after allowing a system update that got stuck setting the kernel
[01:56] <bastidraZor> g_0_0: i thought songbird was dead.. have it been revived?
[01:56] <ruan> browse the sound&video section on ubuntu soft center.
[01:56] <sacarlson> Teligard: sounds like you might have a irq conflict,  lets see your sudo lshw
[01:56] <GeekMan> 3270-common  3dchess
[01:56] <g_0_0> Roasted, this looks like a pretty recent version to me -> http://developer.songbirdnest.com/builds/trunk/latest/
[01:56] <GeekMan> lol
[01:56] <Roasted> yes, songbird died.
[01:56] <Roasted> the linux songbird died.
[01:56] <ruan> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Songbird
[01:57] <jaywalker> Im trying to set up a few hard drives on ubuntu server 10.04 (64 bit). I've got them mounted and recognized and all that, but each time i reboot the server they show up as different devices (ie sda1 swapped for sdb1) and then they mount in the wrong folders... how can i fix this?
[01:57] <Roasted> I think only windows is actively supported with it so far
[01:57] <Jeruvy> Roasted: agreed.
[01:57] <g_0_0> roasted 19th feb - linux
[01:57] <Roasted> if it's back, it came back from the dead, but I'm positive they killed off the linux port.
[01:57] <GeekMan> hold on
[01:57] <xrdodrx> sacarlson, That's not really what I'm talking about, that's more if you were to scan a document or something.
[01:57] <g_0_0> Roasted not supported but worth a try :)
[01:57] <nejode> jaywalker, use UUID's
[01:57] <Roasted> g_0_0, meh
[01:57] <Teligard> sacarlson: working on getting that for you
[01:57] <mickster04> GeekMan: iunno what the package is called sorry
[01:57] <mickster04> :/
[01:58] <Teligard> sacarlson: where do you want it posted?
[01:58] <Roasted> how do I get into this irc chat for rhythmbox
[01:58] <Roasted> I only use freenode stuff
[01:58] <sacarlson> xrdodrx: what do you want to write on a pad?
[01:58] <jaywalker> ty
[01:58] <Chardot> Hi, does anybody use BURG? I can't get it to show in 1680x1050 resolution..
[01:58] <bastidraZor> jaywalker: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab   and yes using UUID's is best. sudo blkid   will give that to you
[01:58] <Gryphon4200> exit
[01:58] <sacarlson> !paste | Teligard
[01:58] <Teligard> ok
[01:58] <mickster04> Chardot: it doesn't show all resolutions, only certain ones, go to the burg site for help i think?
[01:58] <theos> Roasted, the forums show that your player is officially supported by ubuntu.
[01:59] <xrdodrx> sacarlson,  I have a USB pen tablet
[01:59] <Roasted> theos, that's what I thought oo.
[01:59] <inoh> how do you gain pemissions to a hidden file on a usb hdd when using ubuntu live?
[01:59] <Roasted> theos, it works great if I just dump the files on the device.
[01:59] <Roasted> theos, but rhythmbox doesnt detect all of the music. It picks and chooses what it wants to see.
[01:59] <Teligard> It's taking a while to generate
[01:59] <Roasted> theos, its so irritaing to be in and, oh wait, where's Pearl Jam at? That entire folder is just mysteriously gone.
[01:59] <theos> Roasted, maybe it chooses a specific format?
[01:59] <Chardot> mickster04: I was looking for help, and it seems that many of those in my situation were successful, they (somehow) get it
[01:59] <sacarlson> xrdodrx: in any case I think it's still falls into ocr  caricter recognition,  I'm not sure we have anything like apple has
[01:59] <Roasted> theos, whats the excuse for it picking it up next time?
[02:00] <GeekMan> mickster04 i het things for openoffice.org2.0
[02:00] <Roasted> theos, it's not he SAME music each time. It';s different every single time I plug in.
[02:00] <drc> Roasted: PM?
[02:00] <theos> Roasted, lol thats a problem then
[02:00] <xrdodrx> sacarlson, I didn't even bring up apple lol
[02:00] <Roasted> theos, I know :(
[02:00] <Roasted> drc, ?
[02:00] <Roasted> how in the world do I get on irc.gnome.org
[02:00] <Jeruvy> irc://irc.gnome.org
[02:00] <theos> do /server irc.gnome.org 6667
[02:00] <IdleOne> Roasted: /server  irc.gnome.org
[02:01] <Chardot> maybe someone here had the same problem and fixed it..
[02:01] <theos> lol we forgot to tell him to type that on a new server tab :/
[02:01] <mickster04> char this is ubuntu help, not burg help
[02:01] <Teligard> sacarlson: Still, apparently, generating for SCSI
[02:01] <Roasted> well that was fun
[02:01] <mickster04> Chardot: ^^^^
[02:01] <IdleOne> theos: I didn't forget :)
[02:01] <Roasted> can I not be on irc.gnome.org and freenode at the same time?
[02:01] <IdleOne> Roasted: you using xchat?

[02:03] <theos> anyone know how to play m4b files on ubuntu?
[02:03] <mickster04> Chardot: i wrote a message to you but didn't use the right niclk, rather than re-type it i tried pointing to it
[02:03] <SirOmega> Ah mm yeah, so I am completely lost when it comes to getting drivers on ubuntu. Can someone point me in the right direction please?
[02:03] <mickster04> SirOmega: what device isn't working?
[02:04] <SirOmega> My wireless card. Apparently i've been reading in Ubuntu 10.10 there are driver issues?
[02:04] <tokinjoe> trying to install guest additions onto virtual box, every tutorial i find gives the same instructions(click on devices-->install guest additions). cannot find devices anywhere?
[02:04] <Chardot> mickster04: yeah, thanks. I use Ubuntu.
[02:04] <sacarlson> SirOmega: in most cases devices are plug and play,  what device might you need drivers for?
[02:04] <mickster04> Chardot: fine, but your problem isn't about ubuntu
[02:04] <WeThePeople> sacarlson, how would i do it using the terminal?
[02:04] <SirOmega> Well I've been trying to connect wirelessly to the internet in my house and it just can't seem to connect at all.
[02:04] <mickster04> SirOmega: tell us what the card is already
[02:04] <Chardot> mickster04: I appreciate your help.
[02:05] <sacarlson> WeThePeople:  try man mount
[02:05] <Teligard> also, how do I identify a host process?
[02:05] <SirOmega> Well lets just say I also have no idea how to look that up >.<
[02:05] <Teligard> (there seems to be xvnc gone wild)

[02:05] <mickster04> crazybrain: what does their websoite say?
[02:05] <sacarlson> SirOmega: show us what's seen with sudo iwconfig | pastebinit
[02:05] <Teligard> sacarlson: Still, apparently, generating for SCSI
[02:06] <sacarlson> Teligard: sounds like you found your conflicting device
[02:06] <Teligard> sacarlson: I think that somehow the process hung
[02:06] <mickster04> crazybrain: you know thats for windows right?
[02:06] <Vitasoy> sacarlson pastebinit command is a default command in 10.10? =p pretty neat
[02:06] <sacarlson> Teligard: is scsi a build in thing?
[02:07] <crazybrain> mickster04: yeah i know
[02:07] <Teligard> sacarlson: I don't know
[02:07] <mickster04> crazybrain: there are native ubuntu docks available
[02:07] <sacarlson> Vitasoy: I'm not sure it is or not, if not install it
[02:07] <crazybrain> mickster04: such as?
[02:07] <mjs> crazybrain, cairo-dock gets my vote
[02:07] <Teligard> sacarlson: I's assuming it's identifying SATA as SCSI
[02:07] <mickster04> crazybrain: docky
[02:08] <mickster04> crazybrain: do a google search?
[02:08] <crazybrain> mickster04: i downloaded Cairo Dock
[02:08] <crazybrain> and untar the file
[02:08] <sacarlson> Teligard: try reboot and try again,  if it fails again start to turn devices off in bios until it works
[02:08] <crazybrain> but i dont know how to install it
[02:08] <mickster04> crazybrain: how about you use the softrware centre?
[02:09] <crazybrain> mickster04: can you gimme the link?
[02:09] <Teligard> sacarlson: ok
[02:09] <mjs> crazybrain, depending on the version that you're using, its in the repos...sudo apt-get install cairo-dock
[02:09] <mickster04> crazybrain: apps>software centre ?
[02:09] <sasbazooka> hey a;;
[02:09] <sasbazooka> all
[02:09] <WeThePeople> sacarlson, the filesystem says its mounted when i right click, but it doe not show up on the desktop, is it still mounted? because i cannot access it using the terminal. so i can change the WinXP password. and i am typing in everything correct
[02:09] <mickster04> crazybrain: you haven't been using ubuntu long eh? :)
[02:09] <mjs> crazybrain, cairo-dock -O to run
[02:10] <crazybrain> kk
[02:10] <crazybrain> thnxxx guys
[02:10] <sacarlson> WeThePeople: if you just use the command mount alone it will display all the devices that are presently mounted and there location
[02:10] <cyborg_jt> hello from christchurch
[02:11] <sacarlson> WeThePeople: can you not cd /path/to/your/mount/  and see any files?
[02:11] <cyborg_jt> hello
[02:11] <mickster04> cyborg_jt: win
[02:11] <WeThePeople> sacarlson, nope
[02:11] <WeThePeople> sacarlson, no such file
[02:11] <mjs> cyborg_jt, christchurch...earthquake christchurch?
[02:11] <mickster04> mjs: check his whois
[02:11] <crazybrain> mickster04: I am using Ubuntu installed inside windows using WUBI in 7gb space
[02:11] <cyborg_jt> oi have no computer using old sever off inverter and txt based irc
[02:11] <sacarlson> WeThePeople: no you can't cd to the directory?  no you can't see where it's mounted with mount?
[02:11] <crazybrain> is it cool
[02:12] <mickster04> crazybrain: ya
[02:12] <Chardot> smarty comments don't help in a help channel..
[02:12] <cyborg_jt> what is a txt based web client?
[02:12] <sacarlson> WeThePeople: you must find out if it's mounted before you go there
[02:12] <pnunn> cyborg_jt: lynx
[02:12] <mickster04> cyborg_jt: lynx
[02:12] <sacarlson> WeThePeople: and what command did you use to mount it?
[02:12] <mickster04> heh
[02:12] <cyborg_jt> sweet ty
[02:12] <pnunn> cyborg_jt: Still getting shocks?
[02:13] <sacarlson> coffee time
[02:13] <mjs> crazybrain, VirtualBox works well, for what it's worth
[02:13] <cyborg_jt> lots big one before people still sacred
[02:13] <mjs> no doubt <<<<--ca, usa
[02:13] <pnunn> cyborg_it: crazy man...
[02:13] <WeThePeople> sacarlson, cd /media/"UUID"/Windows/System32/config/
[02:14] <WeThePeople> sacarlson, its all correct, but no such file or Dir.
[02:14] <mickster04> WeThePeople: use tab to auto complete the path
[02:14] <mickster04> !tab
[02:14] <WeThePeople> sacarlson, does not work
[02:14] <pnunn> cyborg_it: Been watching it on TV.. bloody amazing stuff. Take care there.
[02:14] <mjs> anyone here have experience with nch inventaria?
[02:15] <mickster04> !anyone
[02:15] <mjs> !anyone
[02:16] <stanman246> guess that's a no no...
[02:16] <WeThePeople> sacarlson, all it comes up with is 's' when i do tab
[02:17] <wangbj> whois wangbj
[02:18] <mickster04> WeThePeople: press tab again and it will list the options
[02:18] <stanman246> wangbj, that's you

[02:18] <mickster04> wangbj: also its /whois
[02:18] <wangbj> sorry ,i try to learn irc command ,^.^
[02:18] <mickster04> theos: no website help>/
[02:18] <theos> wangbj, put a / before irc commands
[02:18] <stanman246> WeThePeople, why not use mc to 'browse around'?
[02:18] <theos> :(
[02:18] <stanman246> !whois
[02:18] <wangbj> ;(
[02:19] <stanman246> lol
[02:19] <WeThePeople> mc
[02:19] <stanman246> sudo apt-get install mc
[02:19] <n2i> Hi all!
[02:19] <mickster04> theos: apparently vlc will open them
[02:19] <stanman246> then in the terminal run mc (midnight commander)
[02:19] <mickster04> theos: http://www.fileinfo.com/extension/m4b
[02:19] <mickster04> theos: that was my FIRST google result
[02:19] <stanman246> you can 'wander' around using your arrow keys and enter
[02:19] <theos> mickster04, vlc can open it but cant play
[02:19] <mickster04> theos: i typed "m4b file" into google
[02:20] <n2i> How to I login to irc with empathy?
[02:20] <mickster04> theos: what's the difference?
[02:20] <mickster04> n2i: does empathy support irc?
[02:20] <theos> mickster04, lol cant play m4b files on vlc
[02:20] <WeThePeople> wow mc is kick @ss
[02:20] <stanman246> ;-)
[02:20] <n2i> mickster04: yep
[02:20] <n2i> ubuntu 10.04
[02:20] <mickster04> n2i: then add account i guess
[02:21] <n2i> yes, i have a account
[02:21] <stanman246> WeThePeople, what was the problem?
[02:21] <trentg> How do I tell if I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 LTS server or regular?
[02:21] <n2i> but there is no place to choose/set server
[02:21] <mickster04> n2i: that'll probably be when you set up the irc account?
[02:22] <Hipotok> does anyone know if I can i use gconf-editor or some other tool create certain settings like show computer, home folder and trash automatically on newly created user accounts?
[02:22] <WeThePeople> stanman246, i am trying to access my WinXp F.S. on knoppix to change the admin password
[02:22] <raido> trentg: uname -a
[02:22] <trentg> uname -a shows a -server kernel, does that mean I'm running server edition?
[02:22] <n2i> hmm, wait me a moment!
[02:22] <raido> trentg: likelt
[02:22] <mickster04> Hipotok: what do you want to happen? how many users do you create?
[02:22] <ubuntu_> Having issues with my onboard ati radeon HD 4250, every time I install the proprietary driver I lose my full hd resolution??  My desktop gets black boarders
[02:22] <raido> trentg: likely
[02:22] <stanman246> ah i see
[02:22] <trentg> raido, thanks
[02:23] <mickster04> ubuntu_: you do reboot right?
[02:23] <kindari> hey guys, migrating a windows server over to ubuntu. There is a raid card installed with two hard drives setup for raid 1, the card itself reports raid is just fine (pre ubuntu.) Not sure how ubuntu handles raid though. When doing "lshw -C disk" I see both of the disks in the array, trying to decide how I should go about mounting one.
[02:23] <ubuntu_> mickster04 yes
[02:23] <raido> trentg: it is possible to install a server kernel on a desktop install but you would know it you did that
[02:23] <MeXTuX> I'm trying to use Ubuntu Live CD 10.10 on my laptop Sony VAIO VPCCW15FL but got a blank screen during boot time. This is what I get when I typed lspci -->01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT216 [GeForce GT 230M] (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
[02:23] <Hipotok> mickster84: I want to customize i guess the default files that are used to create a new user to include computer, home folder and trash icons as well as add a few extra buttons to pannel
[02:24] <Hipotok> mickster84: basically clone my user settings to every new user that will be created in the future
[02:24] <n2i> mickster04: http://www.imagesk.com/tl0Ty9On.png the add account dialog
[02:24] <ubuntu_> If I remove the driver than it goes back to normal but I lose all my graphic acceleration
[02:24] <n2i> how to add | chooser | set server?
[02:25] <mickster04> n2i: what happens when you try using that account?
[02:25] <tripelbaby> mickster04, This is my explanation http://paste.ubuntu.com/570884/
[02:26] <n2i> mickster04: I get error!
[02:26] <n2i> "Network error"
[02:26] <mickster04> n2i: what error? cannot find server n2i?
[02:27] <n2i> There is no server to connect!
[02:27] <Sir> Ok why is that I cannot seem to connect wirelessly but my XP laptop can?
[02:27] <n2i> mickster04: yep, i think so!
[02:27] <mickster04> tripelbaby: yeah ask again in the channel, i just wanted you to get an explaination together :p
[02:27] <WeThePeople> sacarlson,  i got it i didnt need the UUID only 'sda1' in it place...lol thx for the help
[02:27] <Hipotok> mickster04: does what I am asking for make any sense?
[02:27] <mickster04> n2i: account shouldn't be n2i i think that's the server name? not sure tho
[02:28] <ChogyDan> tripelbaby: how are things safer on separate partitions?
[02:28] <n2i> hmm, i will try
[02:28] <wedwo-> n2i, on the left where it says ADD, you have to add irc.freenode.net
[02:28] <gsp2009> ugh... I uninstalled compiz and emerald completely, and now I have no window controls. 10.10... anyone know a fix?
[02:28] <mickster04> Hipotok: i think so
[02:28] <valsacar> Need some help, Ubuntu 10.10 32b on Compaq Presario CQ56, the function key is working in reverse (the fn function key)
[02:28] <n2i> wedwo-: maybe?
[02:29] <n2i> http://www.imagesk.com/wkf3nGpc.png error
[02:29] <HeatMzzr> can someone tell me where i should install bootloader when trying to dualboot?
[02:29] <Teligard> hello
[02:29] <mickster04> valsacar: u have a fnctn lovck on
[02:29] <wedwo-> n2i, click on "new IRC account" and see if you can add it there
[02:29] <administrator> hi
[02:29] <valsacar> HeatMzzr if you install Ubuntu second it will ask if you want dual boot, say yes and it does everything
[02:29] <Teligard> well, it appears it was SATA that
[02:29] <mickster04> Hipotok: the first hdd, like sda, NOT sda1/2
[02:29] <troyounces> hi everyone - I just installed linux yesterday
[02:29] <troyounces> for the first time
[02:29] <valsacar> mickster04 I can't find any button that does that, so assuming it's some config option (does this from start up)
[02:30] <mickster04> HeatMzzr: : the first hdd, like sda, NOT sda1/2
[02:30] <Hipotok> mickster04: I know how to ask this question in the windows world, just not sure what everything is called in gnome so I don't know what to search for on the internet. maybe you can help me by telling me where in ubuntu 10.10 does gnome store the files it uses to create a new desktop for a freshly created user?
[02:30] <gsp2009> and also I can't have focus on any other window...
[02:30] <troyounces> i want to share some files from solaris and want to know what the difference is between cifs and nfs
[02:30] <ChogyDan> tripelbaby: personally, I don't think it matters much how you partition with a drive that big.  If you want your data safe, I would argue for another drive
[02:30] <raido> HeatMzzr: in the MBR
[02:30] <troyounces> any reason to use one over the other?
[02:30] <mickster04> Hipotok: i dunno how to do what you
[02:30] <mickster04> 're asking for
[02:30] <Guest74512> i just install ylmfos yesterday
[02:30] <kindari> Is it normal for both disks in hardware raid 1 to still show up in ubuntu? Which should I mount? (coming from windows server.)
[02:30] <Teligard> is there a way to use the SATA and soft-raid (onboard) for RAID support in 10.10
[02:30] <SuperL4g> marienz: you holding up okay? you near the CHCH area?
[02:30] <HeatMzzr> valsacar, tried to install already but got errors. trying to reinstall, wouldnt boot into ubuntu. now on iphone trying to fix. lol
[02:31] <valsacar> mickster04 Only thing that looks like it should (a little lock) just puts this in: l
[02:31] <raido> Teligard: cifs is more configurable and secure, nfs is easier to implement and less to troubleshoot but has no real security
[02:31] <Sir> ethernet controller is what my wireless card is correct or no?
[02:32] <mickster04> valsacar: well i dunno, i don't own that keyboard but that would be the problem, there is a lock key that you have [pressed
[02:32] <raido> troyounces: cifs is more configurable and secure, nfs is easier to implement and less to troubleshoot but has no real security
[02:32] <mickster04> valsacar: press fn + that key?
[02:32] <Hipotok> mickster64: guessing by the silence noone else knows or I am not making sense with what I am saying, thx for your time
[02:32] <valsacar> mickster04 I pressed nothing, it ws this way from the moment I installed ubuntu
[02:32] <gsp2009> f
[02:32] <mickster04> valsacar: oh humm:(
[02:32] <adub_> it appears i only install some of apt-get install gnome-desktop-environment i cancelled at 28% how can i remove the 28% files download for the gnome-desktop-environment application??
[02:32] <n2i> wedwo-: i get this http://www.imagesk.com/Sw8Rotu1.png
[02:32] <raido> troyounces: if you learn to use samba you will get more use out of having learned it over nfs
[02:33] <Guest74512> hello!everyone
[02:33] <mickster04> adub_: sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get autoclean
[02:33] <troyounces> i already know how to use samba
[02:33] <valsacar> mickster04 hence I figure there's some config option (I would think under gconf-editor) to flip it, but I can't find anything
[02:33] <adub_> did autoremove it did not do anything this time
[02:33] <troyounces> i'm using it to share files with my windows machines
[02:33] <mickster04> valsacar: bios mayb?
[02:33] <wedwo-> n2i, see if this helps: http://linuxcrunch.com/content/how-use-empathy-messenger
[02:33] <adub_> ill do autoclean
[02:33] <troyounces> just wanted to know if nfs buys me anything
[02:33] <mickster04> adub_: autoclean?
[02:33] <mickster04> adub_: ya
[02:33] <Sir> So I need help with my wireless card to get it to connect to my wireless network.
[02:34] <valsacar> mickster04 didn't do it on the win7 that came installed... but I could look there as well
[02:34] <adub_> add-apt-repository ppa  i did this but forgot what i did to add the alsa live updates
[02:34] <mickster04> Captain_Awesome: yesah
[02:34] <n2i> wedwo-: i have use before, and then I update, and now I get it

[02:34] <adub_> i need to figure out how to remove the alsa live updates in synaptic i had to revert back to old alsa drivers as it messed up
[02:34] <n2i> http://linuxcrunch.com/sites/default/files/imagepicker/4/thumbs/irc%20account.png
[02:35] <adub_> the sound was distorted i dont want to get the live alsa updates anymore
[02:35] <n2i> this is add account dialog before
[02:35] <trav> ok. guys, tried to install ubuntu 10.10 alongside win7, after restart wouldnt boot into ubuntu or windows, read i needed to install lilo to get win back which i did and it worked.. want the dual boot to work but now just boots into win directly, no menu... HELP?
[02:36] <n2i> trav: you should try grub2?
[02:36] <trav> n2i: huh?
[02:36] <lucaspearson> ok go into windows and open the cd and install from the wubi (I think) it should take care of everything for you
[02:37] <wedwo-> n2i, sorry, I'm not understanding you. Are you saying you got it working or that you have already tried that without success?
[02:37] <mickster04> trav: i think you install grub onto the wrong part of the hdd....

[02:42] <gsp2009> Hey folks. Metacity isn't starting at log in. The fix of adding a startup application doesn't seem right. Is there a startup for metacity by default?
[02:42] <mickster04> trav: i think you could try fixing grub
[02:42] <mickster04> !grub2 > trav
[02:43] <trav> mickster, I dont know much about this stuff, do you know how to fix it?
[02:43] <gaelfx> man, it seems like I'm the only one who ever experiences choppy playback in smplayer
[02:43] <trav> mickster: have 10.10 installed, just cant boot into it
[02:43] <mickster04> trav: not from over here no, if i had access to your pc i would try and fix it, but seeing as i don't really know whats broken i can't help much
[02:44] <mickster04> trav: what happens?
[02:44] <alisalaah> Is there a way to do roaming profiles if I installed Ubuntu on all of my 5 computers at home, so that applications/settings/etc transfer between all, like logging into a Domain on Windows?
[02:44] <gaelfx> trav: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[02:44] <ecinx3> when I wake my laptop from sleep it, the screen doesn't turn back on anymore
[02:44] <trav> mickster: get a grub disk erro or something
[02:44] <heavy_bullets> hey guys i know is not a normal question but
[02:45] <gaelfx> alisalaah: sounds like you want to set up thin clients with a server
[02:45] <Roasted> Well it seems as if Rhythmbox devs aren't sure why Rhythmbox doesn't predictably pick up my music on my mp3 player. Besides Banshee are there any iTunes-like programs out there for Ubuntu?
[02:45] <heavy_bullets> i need to install some free antivirus on a windows pc.. wich one u recommend me? i lost track of virus xD
[02:45] <Logan_WP> !windows | heavy_bullets

[02:46] <Logan_WP> jack_: You're welcome.
[02:46] <ecinx3> heavy_bullets, if you already have the virus
[02:46] <Roasted> bc81, ya know, I did but I forget why I stopped using it. Does it do a good job handling portable media like ipods and such?
[02:47] <ecinx3> use malwarebytes and use the software gaelfx suggested
[02:47] <heavy_bullets> ecinx3: nah.. new instalation .. need it to avoid the virus xD
[02:47] <bc81> Roasted: i think there are plugins for that..in the configuratino menu
[02:47] <heavy_bullets> but thx
[02:47] <alisalaah> gaelfx, on a think client setup, what if i use the laptop outside of the house and bring it back to the house
[02:47] <ChogyDan> sogeking99: same way as firefox
[02:47] <mickster04> heavy_bullets: has installed windows, the worst virus available, and he probably paid for it too :p
[02:47] <alisalaah> then want to code more on Eclipse from my home comp
[02:47] <jack_> Logan_WP: what if i REALLY wanted to get root access...like... really bad
[02:47] <alisalaah> will it update my home folder once it reconnects?
[02:47] <mickster04> jack_: sudo
[02:47] <Roasted> bc81, doesn't appear to be
[02:48] <heavy_bullets> mickster84: i get it for free because of my university .. and no.. i don't have it .. my girlfriend has..
[02:48] <jack_> mickster04: -_-
[02:48] <gaelfx> alisalaah: no, that's not really what they're for, so maybe thin clients aren't the best way to do things
[02:48] <iflema> jack_: sudu (gksudo) <command>   OR   sudo -i   to open a root termianl
[02:48] <heavy_bullets> xd
[02:48] <mickster04> heavy_bullets: your what now?
[02:48] <Roasted> bc81, half these plugins you cant even enable
[02:48] <jack_> iflema: -_-
[02:48] <heavy_bullets> mickster84: wha?
[02:48] <sacarlson> heavy_bullets: well if you didn't notice most people have to pay to go to school so that isn't free
[02:48] <elocina> g NickServ Identify n@n@
[02:48] <alisalaah> gaelfx, I was thinking of MS' roaming profiles type of thing where it can store config on server like your home folder and such
[02:49] <alisalaah> and your background etc is all sync'd
[02:49] <mickster04> heavy_bullets: i was making a joke about not know what a girlfriend was
[02:49] <bc81> Roasted: i see it has usb mass storage plugin
[02:49] <heavy_bullets> mickster84: jajaj i get it
[02:49] <Roasted> bc81, yeah, I see that too
[02:49] <gaelfx> alisalaah: maybe something like this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RoamingProfilesWithNetworkManager
[02:50] <heavy_bullets> sacarlson: true.. but if that was the case.. everyone on my college would have one copy and nos just my career...
[02:50] <trav> mickster: hangon, gonna get info for you
[02:50] <heavy_bullets> i really don't want to talk about microsoft xd
[02:50] <ecinx3> windows isn't a viurs
[02:50] <bc81> Roasted: you device show up in tools > device menu?
[02:50] <ecinx3> it's system software
[02:50] <mickster04> trav: i may not be able to help you, so ask the channel again, with the extra info
[02:50] <Roasted> bc81, no... I assume it should?
[02:50] <heavy_bullets> sorry for the topic xd
[02:50] <mickster04> ecinx3: a big fat virus :p
[02:50] <sogeking99> is anyone here?
[02:50] <gaelfx> alisalaah: I'll warn you though, I've never tried it and I have no idea how it works
[02:51] <mickster04> sogeking99: no
[02:51] <neil__> hey guys how do i get flash for chronium with ubuntu 10.10
[02:51] <benjgvps> Hello, I installed Ubuntu server 10.04, though within under a minute to five minutes, it hangs and I have to do a hard reset. Is there a Grub argument or something I could use to stop this?
[02:51] <ecinx3> mickster04, no it isn't
[02:51] <gaelfx> trav: did you read the link about Grub2 I sent you?
[02:51] <bc81> Roasted: i recognized by the system, i assume it should.. maybe restart program
[02:51] <Logan_WP> !server | benjgvps
[02:51] <ChogyDan> neil__: same as firefox
[02:51] <Roasted> bc81, do you personally use exaile?
[02:51] <neil__> how?
[02:51] <bc81> Roasted: beyond that, im out of suggestions :(
[02:52] <bc81> Roasted: i only use it to listen to librivox recordings
[02:52] <ChogyDan> neil__: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
[02:52] <bc81> Roasted: rythmbox is my main squeeze
[02:52] <Roasted> rhythmbox is such a fail :(
[02:52] <gaelfx> alisalaah: from looking at that article, it seems like there isn't a really simple way to do it, yet at least
[02:52] <bc81> Roasted: i thnk it's your media device that is not so good :P
[02:53] <Roasted> bc81, I talked to the rhythmbox developers about it.
[02:53] <Roasted> bc81, they simply "had no idea"
[02:53] <heavy_bullets> okey guys.. gotta be going.. thx for the help :D
[02:53] <Logan_WP> !info flashplugin-installer | neil__
[02:53] <heavy_bullets> take care
[02:53] <Roasted> bc81, when every other program finds all of my music each time, but rhythmbox doesn't, that kind of suggests its not the player, but the software. no wonder ubuntu ditched it for 11. :(
[02:53] <trav> gaelfx: yes some. seeing how im on a win7 machine, just downloaded ubuntu tonight and installed alongside windows using its settings, not my own...  I didnt do an advanced partition just the simple one, when i restarted and tried to go into ubuntu it wouldnt and got errors, would go into windows ok
[02:53] <bc81> Roasted: what is 11?
[02:54] <Roasted> bc81, ubuntu 11.04
[02:54] <neil__> thanks, do you know where .flv's are while loading them on sites? so i can save videos easy?
[02:54] <bc81> oh
[02:54] <Roasted> its not default anymore
[02:54] <bc81> Roasted: you tried using a later version, like from a ppa?
[02:54] <Roasted> no
[02:54] <Roasted> I asked about that
[02:54] <Roasted> they didn;'t seem to think any recent updates since 10.10's repo version would make a difference
[02:54] <Roasted> so, screw it. I'm off to bigger and better programs :P
[02:54] <extra11> hi
[02:55] <bc81> Roasted: good luck, im getting tired of seeing you in here everyday!  :)
[02:55] <trav> can you guys look at ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1639198    I think it describes my problem just dont know the fix
[02:55] <alisalaah> gaelfx, yea in windows domain setup you have an Active Directory on a server with usernames, then any computer you login with user/pass and it downloads your home folder (background files etc), and some programs are installed so that everyone can get them etc... on logoff or occassionally it syncs home folder so you can log on to any computer or something like that
[02:55] <Roasted> bc81, I'm getting tired of being here every day.
[02:55] <gaelfx> trav: then it certainly seems that reinstalling is the best option, I would say, since you were never able to successfully enter Ubuntu anyways. Did you use wubi to install?
[02:56] <bryant_> Hello?
[02:56] <neil__> i installed it but im getting a black screen on youtube
[02:56] <bryant_> Oh, so it's working?
[02:56] <bryant_> Can anyone see my messages?
[02:56] <trav> gaelfx: ummm downloaded, burned iso, restarted with cd in the mochine and chose install alongside windows
[02:56] <Logan_WP> bryant_: Yes.
[02:56] <mickster04> bryant_: nope:p
[02:57] <ruffdog> I tried to install Ubuntu 10.10 in VMWare as a virtual machine.  I poped in a CD, ran the install direct from the CD and when it finished installing there was no GUI.  I tried startx but no good.  I tried apt-get install ubuntu-desktop (just in case) and still no go.    I don't know where to go and I'm unsure what to do, is this the right place to ask these sorts of questions?
[02:57] <gaelfx> trav: did you try to use it before you installed it?
[02:57] <mickster04> ruffdog: error messages?
[02:57] <Logan_WP> !ask | bryant_
[02:57] <gaelfx> trav: it's ok, everyone starts somewhere
[02:57] <CooKieMonster> how to get a copy of ubuntu for free ?
[02:58] <Roasted> ubuntu.com
[02:58] <gaelfx> alisalaah: looks like someone might be working on it, but it's probably a ways off yet
[02:58] <gaelfx> alisalaah: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RoamingProfilesSync
[02:58] <bryant_> Well ubottu, I'm new to this and wasn't sure if people were able to see my texts or not.
[02:58] <gaelfx> CooKieMonster: download from ubuntu.com
[02:58] <trav> gaelfx: used jaunty before so familiar enough to use synaptic and install crap but console stuff not so much
[02:58] <neil__> anyone know why?
[02:58] <gaelfx> bryant_: ubottu is a bot
[02:59] <CooKieMonster> gaelfx my donlwoad speed is slow
[02:59] <gaelfx> CooKieMonster: there is a way on the site you can request a free cd
[02:59] <trav> gaelfx: ill try to install again i guess.. im in it on live cd if someone knows how to see mbr and what issues may eb
[02:59] <trav> be
[02:59] <bryant_> Question: I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 netbook on my non-netbook laptop. :D  Should this matter?  Anywho, upon initial boot, nothing is appearing.  No panels, no icons, right click doesn't work.  However, they ARE present, as I'm able to hover over the panels/icons and receive a blank popup as if text should be there.
[03:00] <gaelfx> trav: yeah, just reinstall, if the issue persists, we'll be here to ask you about it ;)
[03:00] <ruffdog> mickster04, no.  no error messages.  It brings me into a CLI interface (not terminal).  It looks like it boots up fine though.  I downloaded it direct from the ubuntu website.  Maybe I need to redownload?
[03:01] <trav> gaelfx: im gonna be up all night arent i.... brb
[03:01] <mickster04> !md5 | ruffdog
[03:01] <gaelfx> trav: maybe not as long as you think
[03:01] <alisalaah> Different question, anyone install Ubuntu on a Macbook Pro, does the kernel's drivers allow two finger scrolling?
[03:01] <sacarlson> trav: it looks very well writen,  I just wonder why they us lilo at that one step,  but it says it's tested,  I would chose not to install with wubi
[03:01] <shooood> #dats
[03:01] <bryant_> If anyone is interested, I managed to take a picture of it with my phone.  Can/should I post it here?
[03:01] <obert> hello i was trying to get the apps local path,like kate
[03:02] <mickster04> alisalaah: 2 finger scrolling worked on my asus 900 like years ago
[03:02] <newtoarch> I can not get my Firewall/iptables script to run. When I put in sudo ./script.sh it says command not found.
[03:02] <shooood><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[03:02] <alisalaah> Or are there Bootcamp drivers for Ubuntu, made by community?
[03:02] <Rodolfo> bryant_ upload it to imageshack and then send us the image link here
[03:02] <th0r> newtoarch: did you change the script to be executable?
[03:02] <mickster04> newtoarch: sudo sh ./script.sh
[03:02] <bryant_> I've done so already, let me just copy the link
[03:02] <newtoarch> thor: Thanks lol forgot once again.
[03:02] <mickster04> !mac
[03:03] <mickster04> alisalaah: see above
[03:04] <bryant_> http://tinypic.com/r/snz9ty/7            ----  NOw my initial thought is surely this is display driver issue, huh?
[03:04] <newtoarch> Thanks guys go it.
[03:06] <bryant_> Now I've tried two things.  1.) I saw something through a google search and tried the command "killall gnome-panel" but it said gnome-panel doesn't exist.  So I found something else, but can't remember the command, something like "sudo yada yada install ubuntu-netbook" which was supposedly suuposed to install any missing files or w/e.
[03:06] <ruffdog> mickster04, my MD5Hash is f9fc22d9028ee887701719b32ada8d43 and the one from the website is 59d15a16ce90c8ee97fa7c211b7673a8.  So I guess I need to redownload?
[03:08] <neil__> do flash videos not go to tmp anymore
[03:08] <obert> oh yeah  wich appname
[03:08] <obert> hopefull
[03:08] <bryant_> So what do you guys think?  Anyone have any ideas?
[03:08] <mickster04> ruffdog: yes
[03:08] <openbees> neil: same prob her
[03:09] <ChogyDan> neil__: someone was asking about that the other day.  Apparently the videos are unlinked right after creation
[03:09] <bryant_> Anyone know how to install the latest display driver for my computer with ubuntu?
[03:10] <mickster04> system>pref > hardware drivers ?
[03:10] <mickster04> bryant_: see above
[03:10] <bryant_> I'm on the netbook edition, where would I Find that mickster?
[03:10] <bryant_> I literally just booted into this and am having display issues, so things aren't appearing right.
[03:10] <mickster04> bryant_: oh, go to the applications thing, then type in hardware and it should filter out one with a green icon
[03:11] <bryant_> OK, brb.
[03:11] <openbees> brayant : just go to mickster way u will found
[03:11] <mickster04> bryant_: how did you run sudo apt-get install?

[03:12] <Roasted> how do I set it so rhythmbox does NOT pop up automatically when I plug in my mp3 player
[03:12] <mickster04> alisalaah: it is default
[03:12] <alisalaah> one article i found says to edit a conf file for a touchpad but how do i know if it works for my comp
[03:12] <mickster04> Roasted: uninstall it? :p
[03:12] <bryant_> Oh, I opened terminal.  Then I just copy-paste a command I found online.
[03:13] <Roasted> mickster04, I really dont want to nuke it just yet
[03:13] <bryant_> How do I specify who I'm writing to?
[03:13] <mickster04> alisalaah: as far as i am aware it is include by default
[03:13] <alisalaah> i dont have 2 finger scrolling like macbooks for vertical/horizontal now and im on ubuntu

[03:15] <bryant_> Really?  Oh!  Cool! mickster84
[03:15] <bryant_> oops

[03:15] <fsync> ubuntu has switched to shipping chrome-ium instead of firefox, is that right?
[03:16] <mickster04> !chromium
[03:16] <mickster04> fsync: i dunno, i doubt it?
[03:16] <bryant_> mickster04 ok ok!  Anyway, how do I install the hardware driver?  I was unable to find the hardware in the search
[03:16] <gaelfx> fsync: I've never heard anything about that
[03:16] <fsync> i don't really know, i just heard some vague something
[03:16] <mickster04> bryant_: uhm iunno then
[03:16] <gaelfx> fsync: but Chromium is available in the software center pretty readily
[03:16] <fsync> so i'm trying to nail down what it actually is
[03:17] <mickster04> fsync: chromium is chrome, but it doesn't have flash built in :p n(not in my experince anyway)
[03:17] <gaelfx> fsync: I'm fairly certain that that would never happen
[03:17] <gaelfx> or at least not in the near future
[03:17] <fsync> so what is the default web browser in 10.10 (which i don't have yet)?
[03:17] <mickster04> fsync: ff
[03:17] <fsync> kk
[03:17] <gaelfx> if you want to see about what changes are coming up next, go to ubuntu.com/testing
[03:18] <fsync> alrighty, thanks
[03:18] <travmon> squid/adzapper hot topic beaten to death yet ?
[03:19] <gaelfx> I've no idea what either of those are
[03:19] <mickster04> yeah that didn't make much sens
[03:19] <mickster04> sense*
[03:19] <travmon> they auto broke apt
[03:20] <travmon> did not know they were installed in ubuntu
[03:22] <gaelfx> travmon: those are not packages that come installed in ubuntu by default, you would have had to install them yourself, or by adding a PPA or something like that
[03:22] <travmon> gaelfx:  really  :O
[03:23] <travmon> not good
[03:23] <gaelfx> travmon: indeed, I checked in Synaptic, they are available, but not by default
[03:23] <gaelfx> travmon: my guess is that adzapper is the problem, have you tried purging it?
[03:24] <travmon> gaelfx  they busted my girlfriends apt and i never installed them either
[03:25] <travmon> gaelfx: no not yet
[03:25] <gaelfx> travmon: did your gf install them? Like I said, it's possible that you added a ppa and didn't notice that they were part of it. Are there any PPAs on her system?
[03:25] <gaelfx> travmon: go into Synaptic Package Manager and search for adzapper
[03:25] <travmon> gaelfx: she new and did add some ppa's
[03:26] <gaelfx> travmon: well, there ya go. you probably want to find the offending one and remove it, probably just do a double check on the others too
[03:27] <bhagatsr> how can i setup a vpn betweebn two computers?
[03:28] <mickster04> !vpn
[03:28] <travmon> gaelfx: i am going remote again in her box an see,    takes awhile since she is 2000 miles away on business atm
[03:28] <gaelfx> travmon: are you remote desktop or ssh?
[03:28] <valsacar> so my new laptop is a bit odd, the fn keys are mapped in reverse (so I have to hit fn+alt+F2 to get the run command window)  Anyone know of an ubuntu setting to reverse this?
[03:28] <AKuj1n> and what OS
[03:29] <mickster04> AKuj1n: Ubuntu
[03:29] <gaelfx> valsacar: if you find one, let me know, that sounds interesting
[03:29] <travmon> gaelfx: vnc  not sure how to ssh outside my own lan yet
[03:29] <valsacar> gaelfx it's quite irritating actually
[03:30] <mickster04> travmon: same thing ssh username@host
[03:30] <travmon> (blush)
[03:30] <bhagatsr> what will be gateway in vpn connections
[03:30] <gaelfx> valsacar: I can imagine, yeah, I'm looking into it

[03:32] <bhagatsr> i have one comp behind router and another behind a modem both use dynamic addresses can i setup vpn on those?
[03:32] <mickster04> !vpn | bhagatsr
[03:33] <travmon> :)
[03:33] <mickster04> valsacar you may want to bring up the on screen keyboard see if you can't switch the fn lock with that?
[03:33] <gaelfx> bhagatsr: I'm pretty sure VPN is built-in in 10.10, so it shouldn't be a problem
[03:33] <gaelfx> mickster04: he's gone ftm
[03:33] <mickster04> gaelfx: oh damn :/
[03:34] <bhagatsr>
[03:34] <bhagatsr> gaelfx: so what should be the gateway address since other computer is behind router
[03:34] <magpiie> good morning folks, any chance anyone could help me with soundcard drivers for an asus laptop running ubuntu 10.10 maverick?
[03:35] <gaelfx> bhagatsr: well, if memory serves, VPN operates on a certain port, so you need to set up the router to forward all traffic on that port to the computer that's running the VPN
[03:35] <gaelfx> bhagatsr: hang on, I'll find out which port
[03:35] <soreau> ubo! audio | magpiie
[03:35] <soreau> ! audio | magpiie
[03:36] <magpiie> at least, i think its a driver issue, basically the sound works fine, but when i plug earphones in, i get sound both through the laptop speakers as well as the earphones, i have fiddled with sound preferences and nothing seems to resolve it
[03:37] <mickster04> magpiie: open up the volume preferences and see if you can't mute the speakers manually?
[03:37] <soreau> magpiie: Try running 'aslamixer' in your terminal. Navigate with arrow keys and toggle mute with m
[03:37] <alisalaah> Is there any side effects if i change the only user's username and home folder?
[03:38] <mickster04> alisalaah: use system>admin>user and groups to change a users name
[03:38] <magpiie> i can mute the speakers manually in preferences but that way also mutes the earphones
[03:38] <soreau> alisalaah: Presumably they would be the same..
[03:38] <mickster04> alisalaah: that will make sure it works properky
[03:38] <alisalaah> but that wont change the home folder's name will it?
[03:38] <joljam> I desperately need help with Adobe Connect. I cannot share my Ubuntu desktop with another person using Adobe connect.. I can see his desktop but I cannot share my desktop
[03:38] <mickster04> alisalaah: if you use the correct program yes?
[03:38] <alisalaah> i named it Home want to name it my name
[03:38] <soreau> magpiie: What sound card is it as per lspci?
[03:38] <alisalaah> oh okay, i havent used ubuntu in awhile and i remember it being an old bug i think? or maybe not
[03:39] <mickster04> alisalaah: you renamed the home folder?
[03:39] <WeThePeople> my computer keeps selecting and deselecting the open window at a high rate of speed. anybody have any ideas
[03:39] <alisalaah> i changed a username and home folder stayed the old name
[03:39] <alisalaah> ill try changing it in about 20 minutes here..
[03:39] <mickster04> alisalaah: how did you change the name?
[03:40] <mickster04> WeThePeople: maybe it is just flashing because it thinks it has a notification for you, have you tried selecting it and something else?
[03:40] <mickster04> WeThePeople: think the orange flashingin windows
[03:40] <magpiie> i am not sure tbh, i am new to ubuntu, how do i get the system info screen up?

[03:42] <kevin_> hai.
[03:42] <bhagatsr> gaelfx:actually vpn s/w is installed in 10.10 by default ; i just want to know how to configure it for dynamic addresses. Do i need any special hardware for vpn?
[03:42] <gaelfx> bhagatsr: it's a little trashy and hard to follow, but I think this will get you started at least: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VPNServer/
[03:43] <Roasted> If I downsize my Ubuntu partition which currently dual boots Ubuntu and Win 7 and install Linux Mint, will Linux Mint thereby take over boot responsibilities? Would I still be triple booting or would Mint only see Win 7?
[03:43] <gaelfx> bhagatsr: well, what I do with my network is I've got DHCP enabled, but I have address reservation set up by MAC address
[03:43] <Xase> join #ubuntuserver
[03:43] <Xase> hmm
[03:43] <gaelfx> bhagatsr: that way, my main box is always on the same IP in the LAN
[03:44] <ruffdog> xase: add a "/" before "join"
[03:44] <magpiie> ok, the system monitor is only showing me processes and minimal system info like cpu and memory
[03:44] <Xase> Yes I know ;)
[03:44] <Xase> I meant to type that.
[03:44] <Xase> There's also a dash in there too
[03:44] <gaelfx> bhagatsr: then you can set up port forwarding, if necessary, though I think if you have upnp enabled, it shouldn't be an issue
[03:44] <ruffdog> xase: I thought that was the case.
[03:45] <Xase> Thanks though ruffdog
[03:45] <gaelfx> bhagatsr: I know pptp is in by default, but I think you actually need to install some other software to get a real vpn running
[03:47] <gaelfx> bhagatsr: I don't really know that you need to set up a gateway or anything like that though
[03:47] <WeThePeople> sacarlson: do you know why my windows are being selected and deselected at a high rate of speed?
[03:47] <WeThePeople> sacarlson: all on there own
[03:48] <sacarlson> WeThePeople: maybe someone has a vnc connection to you?
[03:48] <gaelfx> bhagatsr: I think the pptp only allows you to connect to a VPN, not create one
[03:48] <WeThePeople> sacarlson: vnc?
[03:48] <sacarlson> WeThePeople: do you have an ssh port open?
[03:49] <bhagatsr>
[03:49] <bhagatsr> gaelfx:ok, thanks
[03:49] <WeThePeople> sacarlson: it does it with every window i open
[03:49] <WeThePeople> sacarlson: no...idk
[03:49] <Xase> Sos...
[03:49] <Xase> Lol*
[03:49] <Xase> No one's alive in ubuntu-server
[03:49] <sacarlson> WeThePeople: maybe a keyboard problem
[03:50] <mickster04> Xase: wait around
[03:50] <gaelfx> bhagatsr: a little dated, but should still work: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-pptp-vpn-server-with-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html
[03:50] <crlcan81> I'm trying to update 10.10, did sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and when I have it install that and the dependencies related to them, it gives me a 404 not found error. Do I need to change my server for software sources AGAIN?
[03:50] <sacarlson> WeThePeople: what changes did you make last when it started?
[03:50] <bhagatsr>
[03:50] <bhagatsr> gaelfx: i'll try to create one server at the pc with router and join it using my pc; then what addresses i'll need to know
[03:51] <mickster04> crlcan81: prolly not, why not use the UI to upgrade
[03:51] <WeThePeople> sacarlson: i installed Lubuntu
[03:51] <crlcan81> I'm trying to teach myself terminal a little.
[03:51] <crlcan81> On the off chance I completely screw up, or have to run things from a command line, I want to know at least enough to try and repair it.
[03:51] <crlcan81> Though I'll always have my run from cd
[03:52] <sacarlson> WeThePeople: try reboot and see if it continues
[03:52] <mickster04> crlcan81: ok, well ime dist upgrades aren't the easiest from terminal
[03:52] <crlcan81> I'm going to try it graphically again
[03:52] <hypatia> mickster04: dist-upgrade doesn't upgrade the version
[03:52] <BHXSpecter> was following a tutorial telling how to install gnome-shell on ubuntu so I could use a tron legacy theme I liked and it got to the reboot part....took me to the terminal login so I told it to remove gnome-shell and now dont know how to fix it....I get a lost graphics device error and taken to terminal login everytime lol
[03:52] <WeThePeople> sacarlson: done that...yes it still continues...should i uninstall lubuntu and reinstall
[03:53] <mickster04> hypatia: well there we go then
[03:53] <crlcan81> gives me the same error, just different description.
[03:53] <gaelfx> bhagatsr: cheers, lemme know if it actually works. I need to set one up back in the States so I can actually access this thing people keep calling the "internet"
[03:53] <crlcan81> failed to download packages.
[03:53] <hypatia> crlcan81: you get the same error when you changed servers?
[03:54] <crlcan81> no I haven't changed servers yet, I mean I got the same error graphically that I got via sudo
[03:54] <crlcan81> just described differently
[03:54] <BHXSpecter> if I type 'X' and hit enter I just get a flash on screen and then a black screen with nothing
[03:54] <hypatia> crlcan81: oh, yeah, that makes sense, it's hitting the same servers :)
[03:54] <sacarlson> WeThePeople: I've never heard anyone with this problem before,  can you try <ctl><alt>+f2  and do ps -A
[03:54] <gaelfx> who wants to take bets on whether they'll mainline the apt-p2p service?
[03:54] <crlcan81> Time to see how bad I screwed up
[03:54] <crlcan81> Doesn't help I'm medicated.
[03:54] <sacarlson> WeThePeople: then to return <ctl><alt> + f7
[03:55] <mickster04> gaelfx: the what now?
[03:55] <rockman125> Is there anyway to repair corrupted files in /bin folder?
[03:55] <mickster04> rockman125: reinstall?
[03:55] <mickster04> !rescue | rockman125
[03:55] <tucemiux> !ot | gaelfx
[03:55] <sacarlson> WeThePeople: I think it's a keyboard thing
[03:55] <WeThePeople> sacarlson: i am using WinXP right now its to annoying to use ubuntu.....what does that do
[03:56] <gaelfx> mickster04: search synaptic for apt-p2p
[03:56] <rockman125> mickster will that affect my files or installed applications?
[03:56] <sacarlson> WeThePeople: it switches to console out of graphic mode
[03:56] <sacarlson> WeThePeople: the ps -A will display all the running processes
[03:56] <crlcan81> Don't know how I keep screwing things up so ever slightly
[03:56] <mickster04> rockman125: if they're broken then i don't see how it matters?
[03:56] <WeThePeople> sacarlson: i will try that and get back with you....will you be in in 15 min?
[03:57] <rockman125> only /bin folder is broken not anything else
[03:57] <hypatia> crlcan81: can you paste the errors you're getting to http://paste.ubuntu.com ?
[03:57] <sacarlson> WeThePeople: my guess is you will see random text from some keyboard driver
[03:57] <mickster04> WeThePeople: have you tried unpluggin your keyboard to see if it still haooens :p
[03:57] <rockman125> 15-20 files are corrupted there
[03:57] <mickster04> rockman125: well you back up first then run the rescue
[03:57] <gaelfx> crlcan81: it's cause you're testing the limits of what you can do, it's not such a bad thing
[03:57] <sacarlson> WeThePeople: I should be around
[03:57] <mickster04> rockman125: pretty straight forward
[03:57] <rockman125> ok mickster ty i will try
[03:57] <gaelfx> crlcan81: my theory about linux is if you don't screw up the system at least twice a week, you're doing something wrong
[03:58] <bhagatsr> bye folks
[03:58] <mickster04> gaelfx: i like
[03:58] <gaelfx> mickster04: I know, right?
[03:58] <mickster04> gaelfx: yep:)
[03:58] <MrCleanWithHair> Jag behöver en webbplats som pandora.com för svensk musik?
[03:58] <gaelfx> Swedish?
[03:59] <crlcan81> YAY GAELFX
[03:59] <MrCleanWithHair> ya
[03:59] <MrCleanWithHair> gaelfx, yes
[03:59] <gaelfx> !sv | MrCleanWithHair
[04:00] <gaelfx> MrCleanWithHair: was that right?
[04:00] <Trav> mickster04, gaelfx, just reinstalled. can tell you the error is kernel panic not syncing vfs unable to mount root fs on unknown block 0,0. any suggestions?
[04:00] <grom358> I've ODBC working from command line with isql. But its not working in apache.. has anyone here got ODBC working in php under apache?
[04:00] <gaelfx> crlcan81: hey, how's it going? not so well I take it?
[04:00] <MrCleanWithHair> yes. ubuntu-se is crickets
[04:00] <crlcan81> and with the changes I make to my system constantly I rarely am on for more then a day or two before I'm restarting for some reason, usually a change that makes it prettier or easier for me to alter aspects of.
[04:01] <arand> MrCleanWithHair: And the request is offtopic here, I'm afraid.
[04:01] <crlcan81> no actually gaelfx, it's fine :P waiting on updates, once that's done I'm going to do a quick menu check to remove via sudo some entries.
[04:01] <gaelfx> Trav: it sounds like the partition manager made a mistake, you might need to do it by hand
[04:01] <MrCleanWithHair> arand, this channels so noisy anyway it doesnt really matter does it.
[04:01] <gaelfx> crlcan81: hey, that doesn't sound too bad!
[04:01] <crlcan81> got some multiple programs that do the same thing, going to take out the ones I added that don't work or don't really alter anything at all, becuase it's for the earlier version of Ubuntu.
[04:01] <mickster04> bbl
[04:01] <arand> MrCleanWithHair: It matter exactly bcause of that.
[04:02] <jordan_> hypatia, hey
[04:02] <crlcan81> since I want to alter splash screens and splash screen doesn't do that for me.
[04:02] <crlcan81> gotta restart for kernal update though.
[04:03] <crlcan81> once it's done :(
[04:03] <hypatia> hey jordan_ how is your ubuntu going
[04:03] <hypatia> good luck crlcan81
[04:03] <gaelfx> crlcan81: yeah, it's pretty tough to get around that one, but it actually is possible to update kernel without rebooting
[04:03] <crlcan81> well that's just it, it's saying reboot necessary but it's still configuring via update manager.
[04:03] <crlcan81> like still installing
[04:04] <crlcan81> almost done but.. still. it said restart earlier then necessary.
[04:04] <c-unit> can somebody help me?
[04:05] <grom358> so I'm getting Data source name not found, and no default driver specified
[04:05] <grom358> works fine from command line.. not from php under apache
[04:05] <albert> c-unit, what is your problems
[04:06] <crlcan81> woot
[04:06] <grom358> I've got the environment variables set according to phpinfo()
[04:06] <sxndave> crlcan81 : Ive notice somthing similar before, I believe it changes the toolbar icon for restrat required directly after installing the package that requires the restart. the rest will just finish as normal. You can then restart when you are ready
[04:06] <hypatia> yeah definitely don't restart til it's done installing
[04:06] <c-unit> a proble with conky i dont know if can make that q here
[04:06] <crlcan81> I realize that, just those are quick to act or aren't used to linux would get scared.
[04:06] <gaelfx> is apt-p2p pretty effective for increasing download speed?
[04:07] <albert> c-unit, what
[04:07] <hypatia> crlcan81: yeah, that wording is kinda awkward
[04:07] <coi> hi guys. does the graphical installer for 10.10 not provide a way to do full-disk encryption? or do i still need to use the alternate cd approach?
[04:07] <sxndave> fair point, never thought of it that way tbh
[04:07] <hypatia> c-unit: just ask your question :)
[04:07] <hypatia> coi still need the alternate
[04:07] <coi> thanks hypatia
[04:08] <hypatia> coi: the graphical installer only does homedir encryption
[04:08] <coi> hypatia, thanks :D thats what i thought/had
[04:08] <hypatia> i look forward to the day when FDE is in the main installer :)
[04:08] <gaelfx> hypatia: ah, I was gonna say I thought it did encrypt. Good to know
[04:09] <gaelfx> what's FDE?
[04:09] <c-unit> i tried to compile conky with alsa mixer support and everything seems to work but when i type conky -v theres np support enabled
[04:09] <gaelfx> d'oh, ignore
[04:09] <gaelfx> my acronym recognition software is off today
[04:09] <hypatia> gaelfx: full disk encryption :)
[04:10] <gaelfx> anyone know the cure for choppy smplayer playback?
[04:10] <c-unit> also i run conky and i get the error that theres no dev/mixer
[04:11] <WeThePeople> sacarlson, it doesnt seem to be doing it...when i ran the code everything was norm.
[04:11] <coi> hypatia, does alt. encrypt everything? I dont want to reinstall to find out that it isnt fully enc'd
[04:11] <sacarlson> WeThePeople: so it stoped when you returned?
[04:11] <crlcan81> yay all the unnecessary packages are removed, what exactly is knetattach?
[04:11] <albert> c-unit, i am sorry
[04:11] <gaelfx> you know what would be pretty handy? if there was an easy way to share info about your system with someone trying to help, like they could search through what packages you have installed, system version and stuff like that
[04:12] <WeThePeople> sacarlson, no it never started when i logged into Lubuntu
[04:12] <crlcan81> only one I have no clue if I need or not, the rest I removed I knew I'd not need as I had alternatives alaready installedes
[04:12] <sacarlson> WeThePeople: <ctl><alt> +f7 should have returned you to graphics
[04:12] <Jinxed-> I'm trying to use openshot in ubuntu and it says I need blender 2.5 or later but when I installed it from the ubuntu software center it was version 2.49
[04:12] <Jinxed-> how do I get 2.5
[04:12] <Jinxed->  or later
[04:12] <hypatia> coi: the alt installer lets you do encrypted lvm, which encrypts everything except your kernel
[04:12] <sacarlson> WeThePeople: oh so just the reboot fixed it
[04:12] <gaelfx> Jinxed-: you should check out the PPA for blender
[04:12] <Jinxed-> gaelfx: how would i do that
[04:13] <gaelfx> Jinxed-: just google ubuntu blender ppa
[04:13] <coi> hypatia, thanks
[04:13] <WeThePeople> sacarlson, the reboot fixed it this time, i am sure it will return
[04:13] <hypatia> coi: you're welcome :)
[04:13] <sacarlson> WeThePeople: ok but can't fix it if it aint broke
[04:13] <coi> sucks how the iso is only torrent
[04:13] <hypatia> coi: pick the "encrypted lvm" option
[04:13] <FreezingCold> I just bought a GoDaddy domain, how can I get it to go to my home server?
[04:13] <hypatia> coi: there is an alternate iso for direct download
[04:13] <hypatia> coi: you need to find the "releases" page tho
[04:14] <joljam> I am desperately in need of help. My colleague using a windows machine wants to see my ubuntu desktop. I googled and found that tighvnc was the software to use. However, after installing it and typing in my ip address which starts with 192.168..... my friend gets the message that the connection cannot be established
[04:14] <coi> hypatia, ill check it out
[04:14] <magpiie> ok, i deleted the dock bar at the bottom of my screen and now i don't know how to get it back, any help? sorry, I have only recently come over to ubuntu from microsh*te
[04:14] <coi> hypatia, actually... im getting great dl speed with this :D
[04:14] <gaelfx> joljam: well, if your friend is outside of your LAN, then it won't work that way
[04:14] <intok> Well crap, need the Tux n' Tosh icons from the Art Manager to tie my theme together but it seems to be dead
[04:15] <gaelfx> joljam: use: http://www.whatismyip.com/
[04:15] <hypatia> coi: awesome ;)
[04:16] <gaelfx> joljam: alternatively, your router's page should tell you your global ip
[04:16] <joljam> gaelfx: thanks let me check
[04:16] <duncan_> joljam, are you guys on the same network, or are you trying this over the net?
[04:17] <gaelfx> joljam: oh, another thing that might help is making sure that upnp is enabled on your router
[04:18] <joljam> gaelfx: I am bit ignorant on this: how can I go to my routers webpage
[04:19] <miketomdool> hey is there a way to transfer your existing ubuntu installation to a flash drive?
[04:19] <mikebot> Is it possible that a USB install won't work if my screen resolution is a difficult setting?
[04:19] <hypatia> miketomdool: you could make a bootable flash drive then move your /home over
[04:19] <gaelfx> joljam: go to <IP_ADDRESS> in your browser
[04:19] <hypatia> miketomdool: that's probably the closest you can get to directly transferring it
[04:20] <miketomdool> ok thanks
[04:20] <joljam> gaelfx: thanks
[04:20] <alisalaah> hypatia, if i just copied my /home to another ubuntu and did nothing else would my user/pass work for login on it and everything?
[04:20] <gaelfx> joljam: no prob
[04:20] <sxndave> miketomdool: there is a tool for generating a distro from your current install, with or without custom applications and settings
[04:20] <mikebot> Or rather, if I know that a bootable USB drive works (tried it on another computer), and it doesn't work on my computer, is there a way to diagnose the problem?
[04:20] <sxndave> miketomdool: once its doen you get an iso you can install to the bootaable media
[04:21] <lahwran> in the places menu in a default ubuntu install, if I add more than 8 bookmarks, it turns it into a submenu. is there a way to tell it to not do that? I have plenty of room on my screen.
[04:21] <gaelfx> joljam: how's comcast's service for you?
[04:21] <miketomdool> some BIOS dont support boot from usb
[04:21] <joljam> gaelfx: its ok
[04:21] <miketomdool> i use a boot manager on a cd to get boot from usb to work
[04:21] <gaelfx> miketomdool: that'd be pretty old BIOS
[04:22] <crlcan81> ok, now then..
[04:22] <miketomdool> or a really sucky bios >.> (pheonex bios)
[04:22] <gaelfx> miketomdool: ah, yeah, that too :P
[04:22] <gaelfx> crlcan81: everything hunky dory?
[04:23] <sxndave> miketomdool: the package for making your own distro for live cds and flash drives is called Remaster
[04:23] <crlcan81> since the ubuntu 'splash screen' is using plymouth, or whatever it's called, is it necessary to have the 'splash screen' installed to alter it, or as it seems like since these are different programs trying to do the same thing, it's a waste of space?
[04:23] <miketomdool> sxndave: thanks i will look for it
[04:23] <crlcan81> I'm talking about the menu entry splash screen
[04:24] <sxndave> miketomdool: not sure if its in repos although i seem to remember it being, some info here http://maketecheasier.com/reconstructor-creating-your-own-ubuntu-distribution/2008/07/05
[04:24] <gaelfx> !plymouth | crlcan81
[04:24] <joljam> gaelfx: I typed in <IP_ADDRESS> in my browser but I got the message Problem loading page
[04:24] <miketomdool> mikebot: i use http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html to boot usb for bios that dont support it
[04:24] <gaelfx> joljam: did whatismyip not work for you?
[04:25] <miketomdool> sxndave: thanks
[04:25] <mikebot> miketomdool: Thanks, I'll try that... I also just found this: http://technomess.blogspot.com/2010/11/ubuntu-1010-and-lenovo-ideapad-s10-3.html
[04:26] <joljam> gaelfx: i failed to realise that the IP address was given in the top itself for whatismyip
[04:26] <gaelfx> joljam: haha, that's ok. so you found it?
[04:27] <gaelfx> what can I do about choppy playback with vdpau in smplayer?
[04:28] <joljam> gaelfx; is it necessary that I should be connected directly from the modem to the computer without any wireless routers in between
[04:28] <alisalaah> My macbook says no Bluetooth adapters present..
[04:28] <gaelfx> joljam: no, as long as you have upnp enabled on your router, it should be fine
[04:29] <gaelfx> joljam: what does your machine say your ip is?
[04:29] <gaelfx> (ugh, I gotta stop using stupid words for 'computer')
[04:30] <ruijian> hi
[04:30] <intok> gaelfx it's not a machine till it's vodka cooled
[04:31] <gaelfx> intok: I like how you think
[04:31] <magpiie> can someone tell me how i get the dock on my monitor back? i deleted it to try a new addon and everytime i minimize a screen, it minimizes to the deleted dock
[04:32] <Hexbomber_> I have a total noob question on ubuntu. I am using full disk encryption and tried updating and fubar'd things. I want to copy over my home directory and back everything up to a new partition, but i can't mount the drive. Right now I am in a LiveCD and I have tried mounting it but I get the error "Unable to mount 250 GB LVM2 Physical Volume -- Not a mountable file system", can anyone suggest anything here.
[04:32] <coz_> magpiie,   dock  as in cairo dock  or awn  or are you talking about the panel at the bottom or top
[04:32] <gaelfx> magpiie: if you still have the panel on top, you should be able to right-click and add a new panel
[04:32] <coz_> magpiie,   you want to right click >>"add to panel"   window list
[04:32] <magpiie> lol thanks, sorted, proper noob here :P
[04:32] <coz_> magn3ts, cool
[04:32] <gaelfx> coz_ magpiie not add to panel, new panel ;)
[04:33] <crlcan81> I've already got a plymouth chosen, that's why I asked if it was useless to keep the OLD splash screen program menu entry and package installed?
