[00:00] <xissburg> tensorpudding: but GParted still shows these two partitions as one single unallocated partition
[00:00] <Barnabas> empewoow, I think you have to choose between using wicd and using the linux config files to setup your wlan nic
[00:00] <xissburg> tensorpudding: yes, exactly the same, they seem intact
[00:00] <Barnabas> empewoow, if you choose the /etc/network/ way look at this url https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo
[00:00] <empewoow> Barnabas: yes, i think so too
[00:00] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: line 90 says "and misteriously it is installing WinXP.."
[00:00] <tensorpudding> xissburg: okay
[00:01] <empewoow> Barnabas: ok thanks
[00:01] <Barnabas> in place of wlan0 use ath0
[00:01] <Barnabas> you have to add the wpa stuff to the networks file
[00:01] <xissburg> nUboon2Age:  oh it was because I got to boot in WinXP and it was installing Xp I dont know why...it then finished installation and is now working
[00:01] <tensorpudding> xissburg: so hit enter to go to the next section
[00:02] <xissburg> tensorpudding: on which partition?
[00:02] <tensorpudding> xissburg: on the one with your windows 7 files
[00:03] <thune3> al_: something like -- find /location/to/search -name "*.jpg" -size +100k -exec cp '{}' /your/target/dir \;
[00:03] <xissburg> tensorpudding: right..then?
[00:03] <Bookman> does AVerLife Cinema work with ubuntu? Or any other type of TV out?
[00:04] <tensorpudding> xissburg: it should take you to a section that looks like http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/File:Search_menu.gif
[00:04] <tensorpudding> xissburg: is that what it looks like?
[00:04] <xissburg> tensorpudding: yes
[00:04] <tensorpudding> does it have three partitions?
[00:05] <al_> thune3: ta
[00:05] <xissburg> how to take a screenshot in ubuntu?
[00:05] <xissburg> tensorpudding: it actually shows 4 entries
[00:05] <xissburg> one line is extended LBA
[00:05] <tensorpudding> xissburg: that means you have an extended partition somewhere
[00:06] <tensorpudding> that shouldn't be a problem, i don't think
[00:06] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: screenshot, there are several ways, but if you go to accessories do you have "Take Screenshot" there?
[00:06] <tensorpudding> but take a screenshot, yes
[00:07] <xissburg> I got with alt+printscr
[00:07] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: that works too. :)
[00:07] <xissburg> where should I paste it?
[00:07] <xissburg> suggestions
[00:07] <well_laid_lawn> !paste
[00:08] <well_laid_lawn> http://tinyurl.com/imagebin
[00:08] <xissburg> tinyrul.com/imagebin
[00:08] <xissburg> ops wrong keyboard lol
[00:10] <xissburg> tensorpudding: http://imagebin.org/109698
[00:10] <tensorpudding> xissburg: okay
[00:11] <unitedpotsmokers> hello guys.... we usually install ubuntu in a hardisk. how to install ubuntu in a pendrive?
[00:11] <tensorpudding> xissburg: what order were your partitions in?
[00:11] <tensorpudding> xissburg: and do those sizes seem reasonable?
[00:11] <xissburg> XP, 7, files
[00:11] <xissburg> yes
[00:11] <tensorpudding> xissburg: XP and 7 were the same size?
[00:11] <rooks> unitedpotsmokers, System -> Administration -> Startup Disk Creator
[00:11] <teunvD> unitedpotsmokers: there is a package called usb-creator that you can use to create a bootable pendrive
[00:12] <xissburg> tensorpudding: yes...it is XP 80GB, 7 80GB, files 140GB
[00:12] <tensorpudding> xissburg: this looks correct to me, try writing it.
[00:13] <xissburg> tensorpudding: so in this screen I go to Write?
[00:13] <rooks> unitedpotsmokers, it requirres iso of ubuntu, and i successfully created an pendrive desktop with it, with storage on pendrive :)
[00:13] <tensorpudding> xissburg: yes
[00:13] <xissburg> k
[00:13] <notwok> k
[00:13] <A|pHA> tensor thx
[00:13] <tensorpudding> and cross your fingers
[00:13] <A|pHA> Last question
[00:13] <A|pHA> Need help installing Vmware
[00:14] <al_> anyone know any good fiel recovery software for ntfs partitions? photorec is good but doesnt recover with filenames/dirs etc
[00:14] <tensorpudding> VMware needs to be purchased/downloaded from the VMware website, it is non-free software.
[00:14] <teunvD> A|pHA, which product are you trying to install?
[00:14] <xissburg> tensorpudding: now GParted shows the 3 partitions, but says the other ones are empty
[00:14] <A|pHA> yea you can get open source version free I thought
[00:14] <tensorpudding> al_: testdisk might be able to help you
[00:15] <tensorpudding> xissburg: empty?
[00:15] <xissburg> tensorpudding: yes.
[00:15] <A|pHA> Workstation
[00:15] <al_> tensorpudding: thanks, but irc testdisk is for stuffed partitions, this is a case of format over data
[00:15] <xissburg> tensorpudding: the used space has --, while the XP partition has the actual number
[00:15] <tensorpudding> xissburg: that is odd.
[00:15] <teunvD> A|pHA, what's the problem?
[00:16] <A|pHA> Well I would use virtual box but its not picking up my wifi drivers
[00:16] <tensorpudding> xissburg: you still need to restore the boot sector, i think
[00:16] <quidnunc> http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/redmond/events/stoc2010/19102/player.htm
[00:16] <quidnunc> ^ does thisi work for anyone?
[00:17] <quidnunc> (with moonlight plugin)
[00:17] <A|pHA> when i go to install Vmware I have no clue where it installed the repositories
[00:17] <quidnunc> A|pHA: Not in /etc/apt/sources.list?
[00:18] <xissburg> tensorpudding: but testdisk still show all my files
[00:18] <xissburg> tensorpudding: I have to reset I think
[00:18] <A|pHA> let me check
[00:18] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: reset?  what do you mean by 'reset'?
[00:18] <teunvD> A|pHA VMware is non-free software, you must purchase this so it's not in the repository
[00:18] <schoppenhauer> hello. is it possible to install wubi on a system that is encrypted with truecrypt?
[00:19] <xissburg> reset the other machine / reboot
[00:19] <A|pHA> hmm
[00:19] <tensorpudding> it should still boot into XP
[00:19] <xissburg> it is booting in XP directly
[00:20] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: so it doesn't show windows bootloader menu you mean (ie. 'directly')?
[00:20] <A|pHA> I have the serials I will just get a download of RS
[00:20] <A|pHA> Thanks
[00:22] <xissburg> nUboon2Age: yes not boot menu to choose OS
[00:22] <tensorpudding> the MBR was overwritten by XP with XP's bootloader
[00:22] <tensorpudding> there is probably a program in the 7 partition that will restore 7 to the MBR
[00:23] <nUboon2Age> ha m$ OSs don't even play nice among themselves. ;/
[00:23] <tensorpudding> XP doesn't play nice with anything, period
[00:23] <c3l> rsync vs rsnapshot for backups?
[00:23] <tensorpudding> 7 is much more charitable
[00:23] <xissburg> tensorpudding: good news, now I see my other partitions and all its files from WinXP :)
[00:23] <N3VV3K> hey guys i there any way i can shrink my hdd to fit a windows partition
[00:23] <tensorpudding> xissburg: :)
[00:23] <xissburg> now , need to fix MBR. ?
[00:24] <tensorpudding> you might be able to run easybcd from xp
[00:24] <tensorpudding> easybcd can restore windows 7 to the bootloader i believe
[00:24] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: i was confident that nothing had actually altered your win 7 partition.  Wubi certainly doesn't.  its probably just been problems with the Windows bootloader all along.
[00:24] <cristian> hola y hello a todos and for all
[00:24] <tensorpudding> err, nevermind
[00:24] <aeon-ltd> N3VV3K: look up gparted liveCD
[00:25] <xissburg> so easybcd does the job?
[00:25] <nUboon2Age> tensorpudding: xissburg i used easybcd before.  it worked quite nicely.
[00:25] <Fshy> Hey guys. Having a small but annoying issue with Ubuntu -- namely, I have an Aspire TimelineX 4820TG, but installing the FRGLX proprietary driver causes the laptop to blackscreen at start.
[00:25] <xissburg> I'll take  alook
[00:25] <tensorpudding> i'm not sure if it runs on windows xp
[00:25] <tensorpudding> it's worth a try
[00:25] <tensorpudding> vista changed the bootloader format so that it worked nicely with other OS
[00:25] <Fshy> I can reset it by using the nomodeset startup options, but I have to disable the FRGLX drivers to make it work.
[00:25] <Blue1> !vnc
[00:25] <N3VV3K> aeon_ltd in the disk utility
[00:26] <N3VV3K> i think thatll do it
[00:26] <cristian> he instalado ubuntu 10.4 64 bits y me va lento por lo que creo
[00:26] <tensorpudding> !es | cristian
[00:26] <Eder> Ola
[00:26] <cristian> me gustaria dezinstalarlo e instalar el de 32 bits a ver si va mejor
[00:26] <Fshy> Anyone got any ideas on my issue?
[00:27] <cristian> alguien me podria ayudar
[00:27] <Eder> ablas cristian
[00:27] <N3VV3K> tensorpudding, how do you pronounce your name
[00:28] <tensorpudding> N3VV3K: exactly how you would guess
[00:28] <cristian> ok, then we make it in english
[00:28] <Eder> ok
[00:28] <N3VV3K> tens or pudding or tenso r pudding
[00:28] <tensorpudding> cristian: you can install 32-bit the same way as 64-bit
[00:28] <Fshy94> Apologies. Dc'ed.
[00:28] <ActionParsnip> Fshy: try this: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/   Use it until you get to the embedded video
[00:28] <tensorpudding> cristian: it will overwrite your old files, so do a backup if there is something you want to save
[00:28] <N3VV3K> lol
[00:28] <cristian> yes but first i want to uninstall it
[00:29] <tensorpudding> no need
[00:29] <cristian> and don know how
[00:29] <tensorpudding> installing 32-bit will take care of it
[00:29] <Eder> install the 64bits, to very much performance
[00:30] <Fshy94> ActionParsnip -- I love you.
[00:30] <cristian> so it will go in the same partition and the 64 will be erased?
[00:30] <tensorpudding> cristian: yes
[00:30] <avi_> hey, where are mounted CDs mounted to? Like if I wanted to SSH into my comp, and cd to a CD I have in the computer, where would I cd to? Thanks!
[00:30] <Fshy94> Will attempt, if it works, I'll post that so nobody else has that issue.
[00:30] <avi_> Because it's not in /cdrom or /media.
[00:30] <annnie> avi_: /dev/sr? something
[00:31] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: i found EasyBCD here: http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1
[00:31] <headkase314> For 32-bit versus 64-bit I've read that the executables (not program data) are on average 9% bigger and you get a performance boost on average 3-4% faster.  However having 4GB or more for memory should be the primary reason to choose 64-bit.  If you have more than 4GB and wish to use 32-bit you can also install a PAE (Physical Address Extension) kernel to have 32-bit and be able to utilize all your memory.
[00:31] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: like tensorpudding i can't tell if it will run from XP.
[00:32] <avi_> annnie, Not that I can see, I don't have a /sr folder, and I've checked the similarly named ones. Hmm
[00:32] <xissburg> nUboon2Age: :(
[00:32] <xissburg> then?
[00:32] <annnie> avi_: what does fstab -l say?
[00:32] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: i'm not saying it won't.  i'm just saying i don't know.
[00:33] <cristian> thanks a lot, and the last question is that i have on my computer also windows 7 64 bits and thatś why i installed ubuntu 64 but it seems it doesn work very well
[00:33] <xissburg> hehe ok
[00:33] <tensorpudding> cristian: which doesn't work well?
[00:33] <cristian> 64 once
[00:34] <cristian> it congelate very often
[00:34] <schoppenhauer> hello. is it possible to install wubi on a system that is encrypted with truecrypt?
[00:34] <xissburg> nUboon2Age: it is running till now
[00:34] <avi_> annnie, Interestingly enough, command not found. I'm using lucid, and the only thing fstab thing I have in /etc is fstab-decode. Hmmmmm
[00:34] <xissburg> it shows the partitions
[00:35] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: easybcd is running and showing partitions?
[00:35] <tensorpudding> cristian: that should not happen..
[00:36] <avi_> annnie, No wait, that's wrong. I've got fstab in there but it when I type fstab, fstab -l, or sudo fstab, the command isn't found..
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> cristian: it works pretty well, but 32bit is slighlty more supported in some situations but 64bit is great if you have more than 3Gb ram, pae is one solution though
[00:36] <xissburg> nUboon2Age: not exactly the partitions but the OSes, XP,7 and Ubuntu
[00:36] <annnie> avi_: ok try mount -l
[00:36] <tensorpudding> cristian: are you doing anything when it freezes?
[00:37] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: easybcd is showing OSes?  That sounds very promising.
[00:37] <Rogue1> heyhey?
[00:37] <xissburg> nUboon2Age: yes it does, and also show some details
[00:37] <xomp_netbook> 'Ello, I just purchased an Acer Aspire One D260 and am already tired of this Win7 Starter. Hoping someone can help me perhaps get ubuntu installed on this instead? it has no CDROM but I do have an external blank USB hdd I can use if need be.
[00:38] <annnie> avi_: the cd has to be mounted
[00:38] <avi_> annnie, Yeah that worked. I see my internal and external hard drives.
[00:38] <tensorpudding> xomp_netbook: the easiest way is to make a bootable usb pendrive using unetbootin
[00:38] <avi_> annnie, It is indeed mounted, or at least I can browse it in nautilus
[00:38] <cristian> iĺl be back in a secound please
[00:38] <annnie> avi_: the cd has to be mounted then you can talk to it
[00:38] <tensorpudding> xomp_netbook: but you may consider trying wubi or running ubuntu in virtualbox
[00:38] <A|pHA> what flash do i need for 10.4 tls ?
[00:39] <avi_> annnie, But shouldn't viewing and playing the contents in nautilus indicate that its mounted?
[00:39] <annnie> avi_: so wheres it mounted at?
[00:39] <xomp_netbook> tensorpudding, can a bootable unetbootin be used on a 1Gb pendrive? I'm afraid I have no larger pendrives.
[00:39] <headkase314> xomp_netbook, UNetbootin is what you are looking for -> http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/  You can make your blank USB harddrive bootable with an Ubuntu install with it but preferrably you would use a USB thumbdrive.
[00:39] <tensorpudding> xomp_netbook: the cdrom installer iso is 600 MB, it will fit
[00:39] <nUboon2Age> btw if you didn't know xissburg, wubi doesn't actually create an ubuntu partition -- it runs as a Windows program with most all the OS contained in one Windows file.  The only thing it changes is inserts an Ubuntu entry into Windows bootloader menu.  It does not alter the MBR afaik.
[00:39] <annnie> avi_: yes it seems to be mounted
[00:39] <xomp_netbook> ah ok, thanks guys I'll give that unetbootin a looksy
[00:40] <avi_> annnie, That's the question.. I think it should be in /media/cdrom0, but it's not.. let me try ejecting and remounting..
[00:40] <headkase314> xomp_netbook, remember it can be difficult to go back to Windows without an installation method so if things go south maybe someone can lend you a usb cd-rom to reinstall Windows with - be prepared.
[00:41] <annnie> avi_: well mount -l tells you where its mounted
[00:41] <xomp_netbook> headkase314, I have 2 other machines in the house running Win7 and an OSX machine too hehe. Linux needs to be in the family :P
[00:41] <c3l> what file would be the best place to put configurations such as xset foo etc that doesnt get saved?
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> nUboon2Age: its actually an image file, the boot loader simply mounts the image and boots the data, just like an ISO can be booted in grub2
[00:41] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: so wubi is very light on the system, and really usually quite safe.  Real dual boot systems (such as what you've got now with Windows 7 and XP) are much more complicated than Wubi.
[00:41] <scott__> Is it OK to have some code in Drupal using .inc files that have regular forms instead of FAPI ?
[00:42] <nUboon2Age> ActionParsnip: oh, interesting.  thanks for that info.
[00:42] <phoenixandthor> hey guys, I'm trying to follow a tutorial here: http://conkyhardcore.com/beginners/tips-tricks/tt-2-if_existing/ But when I plug in a flash drive, it always comes up as a something other 'disk'. Is here any way to fix this? Look at the tutorial and you'll see what I mean
[00:42] <bryanwithy> I haven't used irc in a long time....how do I tell who's in here?
[00:42] <xomp_netbook> oh, last question, is there anyway I can be sure wifi will work with ubuntu on this netbook?
[00:43] <ActionParsnip> bryanwithy: what client?
[00:43] <xissburg> so nUboon2Age what do I do in easyBCD?
[00:43] <bryanwithy> xchat
[00:43] <xomp_netbook> I'd hate to be arsed an install and have no wifi after heh
[00:43] <syslq> xomp_netbook: get bootable usb and try
[00:43] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: but at this point you've acquired quite a bit of experience with dual booting.  Not pleasant experience, i understand, but nevertheless you've covered many of the areas that can be problematic.
[00:43] <ActionParsnip> xomp_netbook: check the hcl, or you can just use the livecd / usb environment and test
[00:43] <Dr_Willis> xomp_netbook:  check the forums.. or test with a live cd/flash.  Most netbooks are decently well supported.
[00:43] <xomp_netbook> gotcha, thanks
[00:43] <IdleOne> bryanwithy: expand the nick list on the right of the screen
[00:43] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: off the top of my head i don't remember.
[00:43] <ActionParsnip> bryanwithy: the right hand window is the user list
[00:44] <headkase314> xomp_netbook, with the LiveCD you'll put on the USB pendrive there is a "try" option, try that first.
[00:44] <annnie> avi_: has that helped?
[00:44] <avi_> annnie, AH! I've found it! It was listed in mount -l, but I initially overlooked it because I didn't think that it would be located at /home/myuseracc/.gvfs/cdda mount on sr0... what a terrible place to mount!
[00:44] <florentin> hello
[00:44] <xissburg> nUboon2Age: yea...despite the suffering, it is worth because I learned something...but I'm not yet finished heh
[00:44] <bryanwithy> ah, I think I was confused...I thought xchat-gnome and xchat were the same thing
[00:45] <florentin> have you an idea for download the file from an xspf file?
[00:45] <syslq> avi_: it's coz of fuse
[00:45] <annnie> avi_: ok hope that helped
[00:45] <tensorpudding> xissburg: you first would need to install a windows 7 bootloader
[00:45] <bryanwithy> I found the nicklist in xchat-gnome, though
[00:45] <IdleOne> bryanwithy: they are different but basic layout is the same
[00:45] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: baptism in fire.  not fun but it will give you confidence that things can be fixed w/o having to reinstall.
[00:45] <tensorpudding> xissburg: i think this is done under the manage bootloader menu
[00:45] <headkase314> xomp_netbook, sometimes your wireless will come up as a restricted driver - you'll get a notificiation if so so you know you can install that when you put in on the hard drive.  Make sure you have wired network access, with wired you can usually work wireless into the picture.
[00:45] <Dr_Willis> bryanwithy:  most people that use xchat -   tend to HATE xchat-gnome :)
[00:45] <avi_> annnie, Yes, thanks a bunch!
[00:46] <tensorpudding> xissburg: then you would need to create a bootloader entry for windows 7
[00:46] <avi_> syslq, Ah gotcha. Any way to override that? Why should CDs be mounted with FUSE?
[00:46] <syslq> Dr_Willis: and for a good reason :), it lacks "dock to systray" if I remember right
[00:46] <annnie> avi_: np glad to help
[00:46] <syslq> avi_: dunno, check your mountd settings
[00:47] <geoffmcc> i cant seem to get a startup script to run as a user not root. I thought i did this b4 by chown the script i was trying to start. cant find help on web any pointers?
[00:47] <arnaildo> good night
[00:48] <syslq> arnaildo: have you pasted your script? And where did you put it?
[00:48] <nUboon2Age> tensorpudding: , xissburg here are some easybcd screens that might help: http://neosmart.net/gallery/album/view/neosmart/EasyBCD/EasyBCD+2.0/
[00:48] <annnie> geoffmcc: startup script needs to be root
[00:49] <kisuke> Any one know how I would make a dialog box popup on boot?
[00:49] <geoffmcc> annie - i know i did this b4 cause it a shoutcast server and not a good idea to run as root
[00:49] <mike1_> Ubuntu 10.04 fails to boot from CD or USB.  drops to busy box with initramfs error and failure to mount everything....
[00:49] <mike1_> any help
[00:49] <syslq> mike1_: which error?
[00:50] <syslq> mike1_: you probably just need to set reference to correct drive in grub
[00:50] <xissburg> tensorpudding: I already have an entry for 7
[00:50] <mike1_> no grub yet, trying to do a fresh install
[00:50] <annnie> geoffmcc: sure but  script may need to be root user
[00:50] <syslq> mike1_: cd verifys?
[00:50] <nUboon2Age> tensorpudding: xissburg: is this the bootloader menu you were referring to? http://neosmart.net/gallery/photo/view/neosmart/EasyBCD/EasyBCD+2.0/Bootloader+Setup/
[00:50] <syslq> geoffmcc: you could put the content of a script as function in rc.local if you dont know otherwise
[00:51] <syslq> Alghough it's ugly :)
[00:51] <geoffmcc> i know with redhat varients its startproc but cant find something with ubuntu that does same thing
[00:51] <nUboon2Age> it gives an option to install win 7 bootloader.  tensorpudding xissburg
[00:51] <geoffmcc> i could have swarn i did this with a counterstrike server before
[00:51] <annnie> syslq: you might confuse him
[00:52] <syslq> annnie: probably
[00:52] <BlueIceVirus> can soemone help me get my x-fi sound card working ?
[00:52] <syslq> BlueIceVirus: sure
[00:52] <xissburg> nUboon2Age: no. I was looking into Add New Enrty. I added one for 7 in its corresponding partiion (E:)
[00:52] <mike1_> good iso, I've tried booting from usb or CD.    it's just scrolling through /init: line 7 can't open /dev/
[00:52] <BlueIceVirus> syslq, i dont even know where to start
[00:52] <geoffmcc> ok, so lemme ask u this. how does apache run as www-data , thats what i want - shoutcast to run as say shoutcast
[00:53] <syslq> No sound or fscked sound?
[00:53] <BlueIceVirus> syslq, i cant find anything with recent instr
[00:53] <phoenixandthor> hey guys, I'm trying to follow a tutorial here: http://conkyhardcore.com/beginners/tips-tricks/tt-2-if_existing/ But when I plug in a flash drive, it always comes up as a something other 'disk'. Is here any way to fix this? Look at the tutorial and you'll see what I mean
[00:53] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: but tensorpudding made the point that FIRST you need to install the win7 bootloader.
[00:53] <R0b0t1> How can I mark ruby ask installed using ruby1.9 instead of 1.8?
[00:53] <R0b0t1> as*
[00:53] <BlueIceVirus> syslq, fresh install of lucid, no sound at all
[00:53] <syslq> Go from pulse audio to alsa in sound preferences
[00:53] <syslq> then check alsamixer
[00:54] <bryanwithy> I thought my sound card wasn't working once after a fresh install...it was just muted
[00:54] <BlueIceVirus> also, im kinda newb at linux
[00:54] <thiebaude> mine also bryanwithy
[00:54] <headkase314> syslq, do you mean "gstreamer-properties" in a terminal, that is where I set my sound system to alsa
[00:55] <thiebaude> see if its muted BlueIceVirus
[00:55] <annnie> I have 318 days shore leave
[00:55] <syslq> headkase314: no, I mean what I said, sound properties, from pulse audio 2 alsa
[00:55] <headkase314> syslq, okey doke.
[00:55] <BlueIceVirus> syslq, ok how do i get tehre?
[00:56] <xissburg> nUboon2Age: in the Bootloader Setup, I have no partitions to choose
[00:56] <BlueIceVirus> thiebaude, not muted
[00:56] <thiebaude> ok
[00:56] <syslq> BlueIceVirus: just looking myself :)
[00:56] <BlueIceVirus> :)
[00:56] <phoenixandthor> anyone?
[00:56] <BlueIceVirus> i went into gstreamer properties and set alsa and tried to test but error
[00:57] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: so are you looking at a screen like http://neosmart.net/gallery/photo/view/neosmart/EasyBCD/EasyBCD+2.0/Bootloader+Setup/
[00:57] <syslq> BlueIceVirus: open terminal and type gstreamer-properties
[00:57] <BlueIceVirus> did
[00:57] <BlueIceVirus> or done
[00:57] <syslq> headkase314: you were right
[00:57] <headkase314> syslq, luck.  I learn more here than anything else ;)
[00:58] <syslq> BlueIceVirus: you choose alsa?
[00:58] <BlueIceVirus> ues
[00:58] <BlueIceVirus> yes
[00:58] <syslq> headkase314: it was in the menu in some old releases under sound, but it just works now for several releases
[00:58] <syslq> BlueIceVirus: test?
[00:58] <BlueIceVirus> syslq, error
[00:58] <syslq> What does it say?
[00:59] <cristian> iḿ back.....like james brown.....hihihihi
[00:59] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: if you are looking at a screen like ^^^ the second section/lower right hand side where it says MBR Configuration Options is the part where you can install Win 7 bootloader.  The part above that doesn't matter right now.
[00:59] <BlueIceVirus> syslq, let me copy and paste
[00:59] <syslq> BlueIceVirus: if it's a lot use pastebin
[00:59] <BlueIceVirus> syslq, what is pastebin?
[01:00] <cristian> i was just saing that ubuntu 64 freezes a lot and i have 4gb
[01:00] <arricherekk1> I am running Ubuntu in VirtualBox.  I have installed Guest Additions.  xrandr indicates that my maximum resolution is 800x600; how can I change this?
[01:00] <annnie> BlueIceVirus: check out pastebin.org
[01:00] <syslq> BlueIceVirus: http://pastebin.com/
[01:00] <xissburg> nUboon2Age: ok I did it, I clicked the red button
[01:00] <xissburg> but shouldnt there be partitions?
[01:01] <bryanwithy> I have a strange problem that I haven't been able to fix...Ubuntu does not see audio CDs when I load them into my CD or DVD drive, but data CDs work fine.  If I reboot with an audio CD loaded, then I can see it....
[01:01] <cristian> and computer is cuore 2 duo
[01:01] <annnie> xissburg: you should have taken the BLUE one!!!
[01:01] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: if you're asking about the section on the top right, that is only talking about *external* media and *those* partitions.
[01:01] <nUboon2Age> annnie: ha, ha, not the right moment.
[01:02] <BlueIceVirus> http://pastebin.com/0AnCwz7a
[01:02] <annnie> nUboon2Age: wasted I know  :P
[01:02] <BlueIceVirus> syslq, did that work?
[01:02] <xissburg> nUboon2Age: http://imagebin.org/109710
[01:03] <syslq> BlueIceVirus: it did
[01:03] <nUboon2Age> tensorpudding: okay xissburg has installed the win 7 bootloader, is there more xissburg needs to do with easybcd?
[01:03] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus, yes.  Below the Alsa setting there should be a device selection drop-down box, what is in that box for choices?
[01:03] <BlueIceVirus> syslq, thats a nifty site
[01:03] <xissburg> nUboon2Age: those "Deleted partition"s look suspicious
[01:03] <syslq> BlueIceVirus: can you choose a device in gstreamer properties
[01:03] <tensorpudding> xissburg: you need to create an entry for Windows 7
[01:03] <xissburg> tensorpudding: I already have it http://imagebin.org/109710
[01:04] <Masshuu> Ubuntu 11.10 Obstinate Ocelot
[01:04] <BlueIceVirus> syslq, choices are: Default; nvidia hdmi; and CA0110 Digital
[01:04] <tensorpudding> xissburg: that looks like it could be right
[01:05] <syslq> BlueIceVirus: what is now the choosen one
[01:05] <BlueIceVirus> syslq, default
[01:05] <tensorpudding> the only way to know for sure would be to reboot, though that could be risky
[01:05] <syslq> BlueIceVirus: does /dev/snd exists?
[01:05] <xissburg> tensorpudding: well.. that's what I have to do :P
[01:06] <BlueIceVirus> syslq yes
[01:06]  * nUboon2Age prayers of support for xissburg
[01:06] <BlueIceVirus> headkase314, did you see my reply?
[01:06] <headkase314> syslq, CA0110 Digital is an X-fi device: -> http://www.google.ca/#hl=en&source=hp&q=linux+CA0110+Digital&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&fp=e152ff60f580dc26
[01:07] <tensorpudding> xissburg: it would be really helpful to have a windows 7 support cd if you could get one for the future
[01:07] <xissburg> :)
[01:07] <syslq> headkase314: x-fi?
[01:07] <headkase314> syslq, that's what google is saying..
[01:07] <BlueIceVirus> syslq headkase314 from what I read, that it is a good sign that I can see that in the options
[01:07] <syslq> BlueIceVirus: try and choose it
[01:08] <BlueIceVirus> syslq, then test?
[01:08] <syslq> BlueIceVirus: yeah
[01:08] <syslq> BlueIceVirus: if that doesnt work check the content of /dev/snd dirs
[01:08] <syslq> BlueIceVirus: if that doesnt work check the content of /dev/snd dir
[01:08] <tensorpudding> xissburg: is it working?
[01:09] <BlueIceVirus> syslq, well no error this time, but I get the testing window with the bar going left to right to left that says click ok to finish, but I dont hear anything
[01:09] <syslq> BlueIceVirus: go to /dev/snd dir and check if all device files are in audio group (ls -la)
[01:09] <syslq> Although then logically there would be access denied error but still
[01:10] <j_dalmond> guys, is it possible to make firefox use qt theme instead of gnome?
[01:10] <BlueIceVirus> syslq im lost with that last step, I see the snd folder and then what?
[01:10] <headkase314> syslq, is it possible that BlueIceVirus has both analog and digital ports on his computer and the speakers are analog and only the digital is showing in gstreamer?
[01:10] <syslq> BlueIceVirus: cd /dev/snd
[01:10] <Guest97432> this may seem like a silly question, but....anyone here using mIRC?
[01:11] <BlueIceVirus> syslq, i did
[01:11] <xissburg> Now I have the  OS selection menu but I can't boot in no OS
[01:11] <syslq> BlueIceVirus: paste output of ls -la
[01:11] <BlueIceVirus> syslq, i did ls to list and see somethigns but I dontknow what they are

[01:11] <xissburg> tensorpudding: Im trying the XP CD which is the only one I have
[01:11] <syslq> BlueIceVirus: not ls, but ls -la and paste output
[01:12] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: can you relay what the messages are?
[01:12] <BlueIceVirus> http://pastebin.com/ti4EqLBi
[01:12] <jramsey> any comments on wicd vs. networkmanager?
[01:12] <xissburg> nUboon2Age: wait a mins
[01:12] <annnie> xissburg: thats very messed up
[01:13] <halvors> I am realy noob in this, but i have a file names start.sh in my home folder (this is an server) i wanto to start it up when system boot, how do that from command line?
[01:13] <tensorpudding> the windows bootloader is such a pain to deal with
[01:13] <blackstar256> @halvors i has to do with cron
[01:13] <BlueIceVirus> syslq, let me hook up my toss-link and see if theres audio
[01:13] <ActionParsnip> halvors: mark it as executable, then in System -> Prefs -> startup items
[01:13] <ActionParsnip> halvors: the .sh file extension isnt needed
[01:14] <Wavesonics> I must say, Windows 7 is pretty darn nice
[01:14] <syslq> BlueIceVirus: I have no idea what's toss-link
[01:14] <annnie> halvors: put a soft link to it into rd.d5
[01:14] <ActionParsnip> !ot | Wavesonics
[01:14] <Wavesonics> :P
[01:14] <syslq> BlueIceVirus: what does lspci|grep -i "Audio" says?
[01:14] <syslq> Or if you know your audio card model from head
[01:14] <j_dalmond> guys, is it possible to make firefox use qt theme instead of gtk inside ubuntu?
[01:15] <X-Sleepy-X> hi! if i dd my current installation to an external hard drive would that create a single file on that hard drive or would it erase the current data stored on that hard drive? i have a 16gb ssd which i want to image to a file and store it on my backup hard drive...
[01:15] <annnie> j_dalmond: no
[01:15] <ActionParsnip> j_dalmond: just grab a qt looking theme
[01:15] <BlueIceVirus> syslq, its the connector for optical audio,
[01:15] <syslq> BlueIceVirus: aha
[01:15] <annnie> j_dalmond: unless its a theme
[01:16] <BlueIceVirus> syslq, bad usage
[01:16] <brad8171> hello everyone
[01:16] <BlueIceVirus> syslq of grep
[01:16] <syslq> BlueIceVirus: ?
[01:16] <Fshy> OK, so that wasn't a go.
[01:16] <ActionParsnip> j_dalmond: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7574/
[01:16] <syslq> BlueIceVirus: it's not a file, it's output of a binary
[01:16] <xissburg> tensorpudding, nUboon2Age , when I try booting in Ubuntu it says that the file \ubuntu\winboot\wubildr.mbr may be absent or corrupted
[01:16] <Fshy> ActionParsnip -- that's a fix for if the logo doesn't work if I'm reading that right.
[01:17] <Fshy> My issue is the screen is black *after* the logo.
[01:17] <Fshy> Ironically enough, the logo is the one thing that's working fine.
[01:17] <BlueIceVirus> syslq http://pastebin.com/SA81Lf8V
[01:17] <j_dalmond> annnie: yeah i understand. thx. actually the motivation was white text in white fields on some websites
[01:17] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus, syslq, is the sound card an SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio CA0110-IBG?  If so then bad news, this applies -> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/463829
[01:17] <xissburg> When I try WinXP it says \ntldr may be corrupted...
[01:17] <j_dalmond> annnie: it's annoying
[01:17] <syslq> BlueIceVirus: what does lspci|grep -i "Audio"
[01:18] <ActionParsnip> Fshy: grab a new logo if it offends
[01:18] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: i wouldn't worry too much about the wubi/ubuntu install because that can easily be deleted and reinstalled.  but what about Win 7 and XP?
[01:18] <j_dalmond> ActionParsnip: thx a lot :-)
[01:18] <xissburg> When I try Win7 it says that a needed component doesnt exist or something
[01:18] <Fshy> ActionParsnip -- the logo isn't my problem, again.
[01:18] <Fshy> My screen is black, permanently.
[01:18] <jramsey> no wireless gurus?
[01:18] <X-Sleepy-X> anyone?
[01:18] <Fshy> If I use ATI.
[01:18] <xissburg> nUboon2Age: WinXP says \ntldr may be corrupted
[01:18] <Fshy> The FGLRX or whatever drivers.
[01:18] <Fshy> I can't get my ATI card to work.
[01:18] <BlueIceVirus> http://pastebin.com/y3ScE7Zj
[01:18] <Fshy> If I use the standard Intel thingie it works fine.
[01:18] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: can you see which component win 7 says is missing?
[01:18] <tensorpudding> xissburg: there is a tool called ms-sys on ubuntu that can do windows 7 mbr's
[01:19] <Fshy> Which would be fine, except its a waste of an excellent piece of hardware.
[01:19] <ActionParsnip> Fshy: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html  maybe
[01:19] <xissburg> nUboon2Age: it doenst tell
[01:19] <xissburg> tensorpudding: I'll boot into live ubuntu
[01:19] <Fshy> ActionParsnip -- nomodeset lets me log back in, its true.
[01:19] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: you have a live ubuntu disk?  good!
[01:20] <ActionParsnip> Fshy: thats all I know, you can also use the framebuffer driver til the desktop turns up
[01:20] <BlueIceVirus> headkase314 the command syslq just ask me to put returned CA0110-IBG
[01:20] <Fshy> But without the drivers.
[01:20] <headkase314> syslq, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/463829 the last comments say this issue is still valid in Lucid
[01:20] <xissburg> nUboon2Age: pendrive :)
[01:20] <Fshy> I have to go into low-graphics mode or whatever.
[01:20] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: still good.
[01:20] <xissburg> If I can get to fix mbr and ntldr from there...hm..
[01:21] <BlueIceVirus> headkase314 so that means No audio for me at this time? :(
[01:21] <ActionParsnip> Fshy: all I know is to use the framebuffer driver until the desktop turns up then the nvidia or intel driver kicks in
[01:21] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus, I'm just googling, see what syslq says
[01:21] <Fshy> How?
[01:21] <BlueIceVirus> headkase314j Im awaiting his response
[01:22] <BlueIceVirus> headkase314 Im awaiting his response
[01:22] <KyleXY> sircrazy, hi
[01:22] <sircrazy> ;)
[01:22] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus, theres a lot to read on that page - hold on
[01:23] <xissburg> so... tensorpudding , nUboon2Age ,I think we're all tired of this thing...do you think I can recover it from live Ubuntu?
[01:23] <ActionParsnip> Fshy: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/   follow until the embedded video, its an extra package or two, some boot options and a few file edits
[01:23] <tensorpudding> xissburg: you need to apt-get install ms-sys
[01:24] <annnie> xissburg: what aru you trying to do?
[01:24] <syslq> BlueIceVirus: this happened after you upgraded to 10.04?
[01:24] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: i'm not familiar with the utility tensorpudding is talking about, but i will say that bootloader problems look really scarey but are not as serious as they look and can usually be fixed.
[01:24] <xissburg> tensorpudding: cant find package
[01:24] <BlueIceVirus> syslq, no fresh install
[01:24] <c3l> rsync vs rsnapshot for backups?
[01:24] <tensorpudding> xissburg: do you have an internet connection?
[01:24] <xissburg> yes]
[01:24] <tensorpudding> oh dammit
[01:24] <BlueIceVirus> syslq i never had sound on 9.04 either
[01:25] <tensorpudding> it was removed from ubuntu's repos
[01:25] <tensorpudding> due to licensing issues
[01:25] <xissburg> annnie: my PC was screwed up by Wubi
[01:25] <syslq> BlueIceVirus: give me the output of dpkg -l|grep -i "alsa" and of lsmod

[01:28] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus, googling between what you a syslq say ;)

[01:29] <avi_> hey guys, my samba shares (hosted on my computer) aren't mounting not even on localhost.  Nautilus seems to  make the connection fine, but it just thows up a blank folder and the busy-pointer. Am I needing to do some other config'ing?
[01:29] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: tensorpudding i just downloaded ms-sys 2.2.0.  Were you able to xissburg?
[01:29] <annnie> xissburg: ubuntu would not trash the wind0e$
[01:29] <BlueIceVirus> syslq, im lost as to how to use this mixer
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> st__: http://mikemcquaid.com/2007/12/konqueror-with-latest-adobe-flash-howto/
[01:30] <tensorpudding> xissburg: there is a package called mbr
[01:30] <syslq>  BlueIceVirus you see some channels and colors?
[01:30] <xissburg> Im doing it nUboon2Age
[01:30] <xissburg> uh?
[01:30] <BlueIceVirus> syslq, i kinda have it all volumes are up, though my s/pdif says mm over it

[01:31] <BlueIceVirus> http://pastebin.com/Z568qRMr     the lsmod
[01:31] <nUboon2Age> tensorpudding: did you change your mind about using ms-sys?  I found it and xissburg is downloading it now.
[01:31] <tensorpudding> nUboon2Age: it'll have to be compiled, will it not?
[01:31] <xissburg> tensorpudding told abput mbr package
[01:31] <nUboon2Age> good question.  let me check.
[01:31] <st__> you linked me something from 2008?
[01:32] <xissburg> this is becoming super annoying lol :(
[01:32] <tensorpudding> xissburg: this package is in the repos and it has a program install-mbr which could possibly work
[01:32] <ActionParsnip> st__: the method is the same, just like applying it to firefox, why not look at the content instead of the year
[01:32] <annnie> xissburg: acidents happen
[01:32] <xissburg> apt-get install mbr?
[01:32] <tensorpudding> yeah
[01:32] <nUboon2Age> tensorpudding: yes.
[01:33] <xissburg> hm I got it
[01:33] <Chozo> exit
[01:33] <jramsey_> exit
[01:33] <tensorpudding> xissburg: okay, what does linux call your hard disk?
[01:33] <tensorpudding> xissburg: is it sda, sdb, etc.
[01:34] <blackstar256> ya usually
[01:34] <blackstar256> i think mine is sda
[01:34] <blackstar256> sda1
[01:34] <headkase314> tensorpudding, I would guess in this situation Linux calls his hard disk: "pwned."
[01:34] <xissburg> tensorpudding: sda

[01:35] <tensorpudding> xissburg: i'm going to guess that the windows 7 partition is sda5
[01:35] <tensorpudding> xissburg: since it is under an extended partition
[01:35] <IdleOne> !patience | upp
[01:35] <xissburg> tensorpudding: I agree
[01:35] <xissburg> tensorpudding: I've seen it, it was sda5
[01:36] <jramsey_> upp here =>https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide
[01:36] <syslq> BlueIceVirus: it seems ok, run http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh and paste feedback
[01:36] <BlueIceVirus> syslq, i know that there is a newer version of alsa 1.0.23 i still have .21
[01:36] <tensorpudding> xissburg: okay, so try sudo install-mbr -i n -p 5 -t 0 /dev/sda
[01:36] <xissburg> ook :)
[01:36] <tensorpudding> i hope that it works
[01:37] <tensorpudding> install-mbr might not understand extended partitions for some reason, which could cause problems
[01:37] <syslq> BlueIceVirus: you can try that too
[01:37] <BlueIceVirus> how? ;(
[01:37] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus, please consider bookmarking this for reference -> http://monespaceperso.org/blog-en/2010/05/02/upgrade-alsa-1-0-23-on-ubuntu-lucid-lynx-10-04/  Wait what happens between you and syslq first of course, maybe he can get it working without such drastic measures.
[01:37] <tensorpudding> xissburg: does it return anything?
[01:37] <xissburg> tensorpudding: Invalid default partition 5
[01:38] <tensorpudding> damn!
[01:38] <tensorpudding> how is it that mbr's boot from logical partitions anyway
[01:38] <BlueIceVirus> headkase314 is that the instr for upgrading alsa?
[01:38] <syslq> BlueIceVirus: download source and compile it
[01:38] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: tensorpudding: is that error stopping it entirely or could it still boot up?
[01:39] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus, yes and I've verified that those instructions are for the most current version of ALSA
[01:39] <xissburg> tensorpudding: I verified it here, 7's partition is /dev/sda5
[01:39] <xissburg> dammit dude...
[01:39] <xissburg> this thing is so hard to get working ;(
[01:39] <tensorpudding> xissburg: there are probably some major trickeries going on to boot from extended partitions
[01:39] <BlueIceVirus> headkase314 syslq ok let me update and get back
[01:39] <nUboon2Age> oh okay that means that win 7 is different enough mbr doesn't know how to handle it.
[01:40] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus, would probably take around 20 minutes of following the instructions to do so just post here if you run into any issues?  syslq, this good with you?
[01:40] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: i wonder if it is working on XP though?  tensorpudding?
[01:40] <bazhang> tensorpudding, this is a wubi install that xissburg has
[01:40] <tensorpudding> right now we don't give a hoot about the wubi
[01:40] <Dwarf2000> tenderpudding XD
[01:40] <tensorpudding> we just want to get windows 7 booting
[01:41] <xissburg> nUboon2Age: it was not the last time I tried. Nothing is working lol
[01:41] <tensorpudding> you could get windows xp booting again
[01:41] <tensorpudding> xissburg: try sudo install-mbr -i n -p D -t 0 /dev/sda
[01:42] <tensorpudding> that will get windows xp booting again
[01:42] <nUboon2Age> tensorpudding: xissburg if mbr worked to get xp booting then that would def. be a step forward, yes?  easybcd should really work i think.
[01:42] <xissburg> tensorpudding: now it didnt output anything
[01:42] <tensorpudding> that means it worked
[01:43] <xissburg> nUboon2Age: I was booting in XP before, directly, without OS choice menu, but after using easybcd the OS menu popped up but none of them worked
[01:44] <tensorpudding> xissburg: i think we messed up when we made the boot options
[01:44] <jramsey> test
[01:44] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: yes, but i'm thinking we just had a config error in easybcd and that it should still work if we set it up correctly.
[01:45] <xissburg> so I'll try booting into XP now
[01:46] <Bytesunfish> If someone has a moment, I have a motherboard (Asus M2N-E) that has an onboard gigabit ethernet that is being incorrectly recognized as device virbr0. I have a pci card 10/100 that is my only link to this computer. I'm running server edition x64. System is updated daily.
[01:46] <xissburg> tensorpudding: , nUboon2Age Xp doesnt work
[01:46] <jramsey> test
[01:46] <BlueIceVirus> headkase314, ran into an issue
[01:46] <xissburg> heh
[01:46] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: what did you get?
[01:46] <xissburg> nUboon2Age: the same error as before, for all 3 OSes
[01:47] <jramsey> xissburg, is the error on pastebin?
[01:47] <BlueIceVirus> headkase314 on the part where it wants me to put sudo cp ~/alsa* it tells me a file something.bz2 is not a dir
[01:47] <xissburg> I think that...I could copy the important files into another partition and format other and reinstall Windows there..
[01:47] <xissburg> at least my files are still there
[01:48] <xissburg> jramsey: no
[01:48] <nUboon2Age> tensorpudding: xissburg wouldn't the goal be to get back into EasyBCD to set up correctly?
[01:48] <xissburg> nUboon2Age: I can't  boot in XP anymore
[01:48] <alvaro> I'm trying to get HDMI audio to work.  But all I get when I do "mplayer /foo/bar/file.mp3" is static.  Any ideas?
[01:48] <st__> xissburg, boot from floppy
[01:48] <xissburg> I got to use easybcd before in XP there...after that I couldnt boot again
[01:49] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus, was away now back give me a second to review what said
[01:49] <nUboon2Age> one thing xissburg: if you do choose to reinstall win 7 and xp, tensorpudding, doesn't xissburg have to install xp first, then win 7?  i still hope it wouldn't come to that.
[01:51] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus, that cp command should copy the three .yar.bz2 files you downloaded into your /usr/src/alsa folder which you should be in.  The files are supposed to be in your /home/username folder and not in a subfolder from there
[01:51] <headkase314> s/.yar/.tar
[01:51] <jramsey> xissburg, have you checked this => http://neosmart.net/forums/showthread.php?t=6800
[01:51] <vol7ron> all: for some reason I can't view flash in my web browsers (chrome/ff), but Adobe says my browser has it installed
[01:51] <st__> xissburg, do you have a floppy drive?
[01:51] <BlueIceVirus> headkase314 i just found them and was about to move them
[01:53] <xissburg> st__:  im running live ubuntu from pendrive]
[01:53] <BlueIceVirus> headkase314 I cant move them into that folder permission den
[01:53] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus, it is not neccessary to make them in the /usr/src/alsa folder you can follow the instructions in your home folder to compile them there.  How familiar are you with the console?
[01:53] <sikilpaake> moin

[01:53] <BlueIceVirus> headkase314 im newb at linux but im getting it perty fast
[01:53] <Nero_> where i can get deb. files for vlc 1.1.2?
[01:54] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus,  ok, type "cd ~" without quotes
[01:54] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: tensorpudding: jramsey:  from that forum posting that jramsey gave i found "If your Windows Vista or Windows 7 bootloader has been damaged or corrupt in some way, you'll have to get it reset before you can use EasyBCD to configure a dual-boot."
[01:54] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: tensorpudding: jramsey: http://neosmart.net/wiki/display/EBCD/Recovering+the+Vista+Bootloader+from+the+DVD
[01:54] <tensorpudding> xissburg: you can try getting ms-sys to work
[01:54] <Dwarf2000> Nero_ www.google.com
[01:54] <berwaldd> Nero: You should be able to get vlc from the Synaptic Package Manager built into Ubuntu
[01:54] <jramsey> yeah it looks like an evening is ruined with this
[01:54] <vol7ron> If it helps, I have 64b Ubuntu 10.04 ... why is it hard to get Flash running?
[01:54] <BlueIceVirus> headkase314 what does the ~ do, cd does the same thing it seems
[01:54] <Nero_> i can not find usefull information...
[01:54] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus, type "ls alsa*" without quotes, you should see the three alsa files you downloaded.  ~ is a shortcut for your home folder.
[01:55] <xissburg> tensorpudding: yes, we forgot that one
[01:55] <tensorpudding> xissburg: the goal should be to find some way to get back to xp, so that you can use easybcd to get windows 7 back
[01:55] <xissburg> nUboon2Age: I cant burn Cds
[01:55] <berwaldd> Nero_: If you go to your menu and into Synaptic you can search for vlc in there
[01:55] <BlueIceVirus> headkase314 ok im unpacking them where they are
[01:55] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: oh, okay.  couldn't remember.
[01:56] <xissburg> nUboon2Age: I almost tried that approach, but I couldnt burn the iso to my pendrive
[01:56] <Dwarf2000> Nero_ http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/graphics/vlc
[01:56] <xissburg> tensorpudding: going to live ubuntu to try ms-sys
[01:56] <Nero_> yes, i know how to install software ..
[01:56] <Nero_> i need the 1.1.2 ver.
[01:57] <Nero_> not 1.0.6
[01:57] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus, ok, you will have the 3 folders in your home directory.  For each of the 3 folders execute the commands "./configure", "make", and then "sudo make install"
[01:57] <tensorpudding> xissburg: you'll need to install the build-essential package to compile ms-sys
[01:57] <tensorpudding> xissburg: then run ms-sys -7 /dev/sda
[01:57] <BlueIceVirus> headkase314 already on the works ;)
[01:57] <sikilpaake> is there any way to view and mount my partitions through <<ssh -X -C -c blowfish<EMAIL_ADDRESS>"gksu nautilus">> ?
[01:58] <jramsey> xissburg, => https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[01:58] <bastid_raZor> Nero_: http://nightlies.videolan.org/
[01:58] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus, you will be following the cd commands in the tutorial but you are in your home folder instead of /usr/src/alsa.  The difference between the instructions and what you are now doing is that "./configure" and "make" do not need the sudo command while the "make install" does need a sudo prefix.
[01:58] <BlueIceVirus> headcase314 is there a quick way to respond to a person in here rather than type the name every time?
[01:58] <sikilpaake> BlueIceVirus: try to see if your client supports autocomplete for names
[01:58] <hiexpo> tan BlueIceVirus
[01:58] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus, type part of their name then press TAB to complete it works in my IRC client (x-chat)
[01:59] <hiexpo> ^?tab
[01:59] <IdleOne> BlueIceVirus: use tab completion type head and hit TAB
[01:59] <sikilpaake> type sik and then hit TAB
[01:59] <BlueIceVirus> im in the webchat version for this irc
[01:59] <xissburg> jramsey: no, burn the Windows 7 Recovery disc to pendrive
[01:59] <BlueIceVirus> ok got it
[01:59] <jramsey> oic
[01:59] <BlueIceVirus> headkase314: thats a lot faster ;)
[01:59] <sikilpaake> BlueIceVirus: SikEnCide sikilpaake
[01:59] <sikilpaake> BlueIceVirus: sure is
[01:59] <BlueIceVirus> headkase314:  just like tab in the terminal
[01:59] <nUboon2Age> What about ths tensorpudding: have you heard of fixmbr: "restore the Windows bootloader using "fixmbr" from a recovery CD, and use Parted Magic to delete the Linux partition and expand the Windows partition. " xissburg: tensorpudding; jramsey:
[02:00] <jramsey> it's tough jumping into a thread mid-stream
[02:00] <BlueIceVirus> hiexpo: hey buddy, i was looking for you the other day
[02:00] <sikilpaake> is there any way to view and mount my partitions through <<ssh -X -C -c blowfish<EMAIL_ADDRESS>"gksu nautilus">> ?
[02:00] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus, ok, yup.  Now make sure you have no errors from ./configure and make before you type "sudo make install"  If you have any errors post them here
[02:00] <BlueIceVirus> hiexpo: i finally got lucid installed, but on a diff drive instead of the raid
[02:00] <tensorpudding> nUboon2Age: there is no linux partition, and fixmbr only works for xp mbr's, and only runs from a valid windows xp recovery disk, which xissburg doesn't have
[02:00] <tensorpudding> if xissburg had one, this would have been solved eons ago
[02:01] <BlueIceVirus> headkase314: so if it sayd successfully compiled its good?
[02:01] <dude> hello, I am running Lucid and was installing some software from the repos and after I reboted I can not access any websites or the update servers
[02:01] <tensorpudding> this problem has had very little to do with ubuntu, except that the ubuntu live cd is the only recovery environment available
[02:01] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus, if ./configure and make do not give an error message then the compile is good and you can do make install
[02:01] <hiexpo> BlueIceVirus,  kool
[02:02] <BlueIceVirus> hiexpo: but now tring to get my x-fi working ;)
[02:02] <BlueIceVirus> headkase314: ok
[02:02] <dude> the eth0 shows connected but I cant get anywhere
[02:02] <einino> 你好阿

[02:03] <jramsey> !jp
[02:03] <McLinux> how can it be read... these japanese characters
[02:03] <tensorpudding> get japanese fonts
[02:03] <jramsey> miracle
[02:03] <McLinux> i have them
[02:03] <xissburg> tensorpudding: I have a windows XP installation disc
[02:04] <McLinux> its just .. not readable unless i enlarge the font sizes
[02:04] <vol7ron> it's 64b, which is why Flash isn't working in Lucid
[02:04] <tensorpudding> xissburg: you do?
[02:04] <xissburg> I tried getting into recovery mode but I cant remember the admin password :(
[02:04] <McLinux> flash isn't working on 64b ubuntu?
[02:04] <tensorpudding> oh
[02:04] <tensorpudding> more tragedies
[02:05] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: tensorpudding: is that a generic password?
[02:05] <McLinux> xissburg: ubuntu?  could be your own user account pw?
[02:06] <vol7ron> McLinux: not in chrome, for me
[02:06] <tensorpudding> i have flash working in chrome 64
[02:06] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: tensorpudding: or generic by manufacturer?
[02:06] <BlueIceVirus> headkase314: I have to restart now, brb
[02:06] <McLinux> Weird, because I have 64b plus cHrome-- working fine.
[02:06] <tensorpudding> i can't remember how i got it working though
[02:06] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus, ok
[02:06] <tensorpudding> nUboon2Age: I don't know
[02:06] <vol7ron> McLinux: I had to go the backend way of installing it in firefox too ~ http://nxadm.wordpress.com/2009/04/26/install-64-bit-adobe-flash-player-on-ubuntu-904/
[02:06] <xissburg> nUboon2Age: I tried a  few ppossible passwords...I cant believe I couldnt break it...and it sucks because you have only 3 chances..then it resets the machine
[02:06] <EvilPhoenix> i need this dependency for a program (amazon MP3 downloader): libboost-filesystem1.34.1  How can I get it?
[02:06] <McLinux> really?
[02:07] <McLinux> ij ust did sudo apt-get install flash-plugin
[02:07] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: is that a cd/dvd?
[02:07] <dude> can anyone help me with a network problem?
[02:07] <tensorpudding> xissburg: did you compile ms-sys?
[02:07] <xissburg> what is the root password in live Ubuntu?
[02:07] <vol7ron> McLinux it could just be that i'm retarded, which is probably the case
[02:07] <xissburg> nUboon2Age: its a WinXP CD
[02:07] <xissburg> tensorpudding: yes
[02:07] <McLinux> vol7ron: if you are then i am too..
[02:07] <xissburg> I cant get to su make install it
[02:07] <McLinux> dude: what exactly is the network problem?
[02:07] <wedwo> dude what's your question?
[02:07] <vol7ron> McLinux: I couldn't find any flash-plugin, which repo?
[02:07] <xissburg> su asks for pw
[02:08] <xissburg> su
[02:08] <tensorpudding> xissburg: try doing sudo -i
[02:08] <dude> My eth0 shows me conected but I cannot actually connect to anything
[02:08] <sacarlson> xissburg: sudo su
[02:08] <tensorpudding> then doing make install
[02:08] <McLinux> vol7ron: think i used: flashplugin-installer
[02:08] <Fshy> I gotta say, this is kinda getting on my nerves....
[02:08] <tensorpudding> the live cd's don't have a user password
[02:08] <McLinux> dude, you are online now? or is this via a different machine?
[02:08] <wedwo> dude .. ifconfig
[02:08] <vol7ron> McLinux: hopefully this will work :), I'd rather use it than a dated checksum
[02:09] <BlueIceVirus_> headkase314: ok, im back
[02:09] <dude> mclinux, yes and no
[02:09] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus, ok do "cat /proc/asound/version"
[02:09] <xissburg> make install wont work wow
[02:09] <dude> wedwo, all setting with ip# are correct
[02:09] <McLinux> dude, clarify
[02:09] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus, and say what the version number is
[02:09] <xissburg> Fshy: lol
[02:09] <BlueIceVirus_> headkase314: well now I actually have .23 alsa ;) nice
[02:09] <Fshy> OK, let me try explaining this again to see if anyone can help a bit more. I know its an extremely vague error.
[02:09] <sacarlson> xissburg: oh and you like windows xp so you can run it inside virtualbox inside ubuntu
[02:10] <Fshy> I'll try and fetch some logs if possible.
[02:10] <dude> Mclinux, eth0 shows me connected, I can ping from term, but cant laod webpages or pull anything from repos
[02:10] <vol7ron> McLinux: that worked... thank you very much.  Adobe said I had an up-to-date version of Flash, but Chrome said it wasn't installed.  Perhaps because it was a beta version of chrome, it wasn't installed properly
[02:10] <xissburg> sacarlson: runs bad
[02:10] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus, ok now "sudo alsaconf" click ok and reboot again.
[02:10] <tensorpudding> vol7ron: chrome doesn't have flash for 64-bit
[02:10] <McLinux> vol7ron: no problem.. i think it had to do with chrome looking in a different location for plugins
[02:10] <tensorpudding> vol7ron: but adobe just says "oh, you have chrome, therefore you have flash"
[02:10] <sacarlson> xissburg: ya bad for you games I'm sure  it would be slow for that
[02:11] <BlueIceVirus_> headkase314: ok restarting again
[02:11] <tensorpudding> vol7ron: because adobe is lame and pulled support for 64-bit linux for a while so they could fix it, and at some point in the indefinite future they'll bring it back
[02:11] <vol7ron> tensorpudding: McLinux's flashplugin-installer enabled it in chrome, so it's working
[02:12] <McLinux> flash doesn't perform great on anything other than Windows.. but it still works
[02:12] <vol7ron> tensorpudding: whether it's a dated version, or not, at least I have something now
[02:12] <tensorpudding> xissburg: did you get ms-sys to build?
[02:12] <xissburg> tensorpudding: suggestion for parameters for ms-sys? :P
[02:12] <xissburg> yea]
[02:12] <Mqueue> hello im trying to run partimage to make backup on windows drive and my system keeps halting what could be wrong ?
[02:12] <vol7ron> I'm just trying to use speedtest.net
[02:12] <tensorpudding> xissburg: try ms-sys -7 /dev/sda
[02:12] <MACscr> how can i select all avi and mvk files from a folder and its subfolders and move them to a new directory?
[02:12] <McLinux> dude, what sort of IP does eth0 have?
[02:12] <xissburg> tensorpudding: Windows 7 master boot record successfully writeen . . .
[02:13] <Fshy> OK, my issue is this. I have an Acer Aspire TimelineX 4820TG laptop, which contains both an Intel graphics card and an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 graphics chip. The default install used the Intel chip for graphics, but in Hardware Drivers in 10.04, it gave me the option to chose the FGLRX proprietary drives for the ATI card. If I Activate them, it requires me to reboot, at which point I do...
[02:13] <Fshy> ...so. During startup, I come back in, see the logo, and it black screens after that.
[02:13] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: tensorpudding: sounds promising.
[02:13] <vol7ron> My Linux is in VMware, so I'm not too worried about performance just yet.  When I get my new SSD, I'll have a new partition for a full-fledged, sweet linux box
[02:13] <xissburg> nUboon2Age: heh
[02:13] <sikilpaake> how can i mount all mountable drives through the command line?
[02:13] <tensorpudding> xissburg: okay, that might be a start..but i'm not sure exactly what it will do, if it know how to find the partitions
[02:13] <Fshy> If I use the nomodeset option, I can get back in, however, it says Graphics Error and puts me in this ridiculously lame "low graphics mode", where the ATI chip is most definitely not active.
[02:13] <BlueIceVirus> headkase314: ok now im back again
[02:14] <McLinux> Fshy; laptop?  are you using a monitor with it? Hdmi output at all?
[02:14] <tensorpudding> xissburg: the only way to know is to reboot yet again
[02:14] <xissburg> Ill do it
[02:14] <dude> Mclinux, eth0 shows inet <IP_ADDRESS> Bcast<IP_ADDRESS>
[02:14] <Fshy> No monitor, its just a laptop.
[02:14] <McLinux> ok, can you at least the router ?
[02:14] <Fshy> I get some output, but only for the ubuntu logo part.
[02:14] <Fshy> After that, black screens.
[02:14] <McLinux> sorry, ping* the router
[02:14] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus, ok now to see if it made a difference.  In a console "gstreamer-properties" ALSA should be the sound system and NOW what are your choices for devices.  syslq you there?  Need you again!
[02:14] <McLinux> I ran into that, are you trying to do a new install or is this a complete install?
[02:15] <vol7ron> dude, what are you trying to do?
[02:15] <avi_> hey guys, I'm trying to set up a samba server in Lucid to, among other things, share a CD in the computer's cd rom drive. The problem is, that in Lucid CDs get mounted to ~/.gvfs, which for some reason you cannot view in samba shares. I mounted my entire ~ in samba, and looked for .gvfs, but it was NOT THERE. Basically everything was however, including other hidden files.. How can i fix this? Thanks!
[02:15] <Fshy> McLinux: Sorry, who are you referring to? Lets use the name tag thingies.
[02:15] <dude> Mclinux, yes
[02:15] <xissburg> tensorpudding: same errors as before in the OS selection screen :(
[02:15] <McLinux> Fshy; sorry, yes.. is this a new install attempt (aka booting to LiveCD)?
[02:15] <dude> vol7ron, I have lost access to internet through browser and repos
[02:16] <vol7ron> dude, but you're using IRC?
[02:16] <Mqueue> hello im trying to run partimage to make backup of windows drive and my system keeps freezing what can be the issue ?
[02:16] <Fshy> McLinux: No, I installed it fine, and normally it defaults to using the Intel chip, so I had a perfectly good install -- just not using the ATI chip. When I attempt to use the FGLRX drivers to activate the ATI chip, all hell breaks loose though.
[02:16] <dude> vol7ron, different computer
[02:16] <xissburg> ok I think its enough eh guys
[02:17] <McLinux> Fshy; Hrm, do you disable the INtel chipset (In BIOS for example?)
[02:17] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: let's see if tensorpudding has any more ideas.
[02:17] <tensorpudding> xissburg: okay, try rebooting into the pendrive and writing an xp mbr
[02:17] <sacarlson> avi_:  i guess I would need to see your /etc/samaba/smb.conf file  I think I gave you a sample of mine the other day
[02:17] <sikilpaake> how can i mount all mountable drives through the command line?
[02:17] <wurlington> mount -a
[02:17] <vol7ron> dude: are you running any sort of firewall/av?
[02:17] <spaceghost_> man cpan takes ages to install stuff, been installing dependencies for like 35 minutes
[02:17] <Fshy> McLinux: No? I wasn't even sure I should try that.
[02:17] <tensorpudding> xissburg: the mbr that ms-sys writes must be set to just boot from the first bootable partition
[02:17] <xissburg> tensorpudding: heh let me do it
[02:17] <sikilpaake> wurlington: that mounts all of the ones on fstab
[02:17] <McLinux> dude, I would check that the browser isn't trying to use a proxy or if there was some firewall configured.. not sure how to "check" for that...
[02:18] <sikilpaake> wurlington: i need to mount all the ones that *can* be mounted
[02:18] <xissburg> it would be good to at least have xp back
[02:18] <dude> vol7ron, firestarter is shutdown right now and clamav not running
[02:18] <sacarlson> avi_:  is your CD mount point mounting as the same ubuntu user as fouruser?
[02:18] <BlueIceVirus_> headkase314: ok back again,
[02:18] <McLinux> Fshy; did you have the ATI card working in a previous install, or OS?
[02:18] <wurlington> sikilpaake, i duno then :-\
[02:18] <BlueIceVirus_> headkase314: going to check sound
[02:18] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus_, ok what devices are there now?
[02:18] <Fshy> McLinux: Works fine in the Win7 dual boot.
[02:18] <McLinux> dude, check your router--?
[02:18] <dude> Mclinux, that wouldnt affect updating the repos too would it?
[02:18] <vol7ron> dude: make sure ps is listing it's not running
[02:18] <plouffe> Are there any open source java browsers in ubuntu repositories?
[02:18] <avi_> sacarlson, I can't remember if you did. But the problem is not getting to my home folder, that works great. The problem is .gvfs not showing up when browsing a samba share.
[02:18] <McLinux> dude, repos is downloaded via http.. port 80
[02:18] <vol7ron> dude: shutdown, then restart your computer
[02:18] <dude> vol7ron, ?
[02:19] <BlueIceVirus_> headkase314: same ones as before plus now I get CA0110 Analog too
[02:19] <headkase314> k, choose analog and test
[02:19] <Fshy> plouffe: I'm not sure whether he ever finished or even started it, but I know a dude called eondev awhile ago was making one.
[02:19] <headkase314> ^ BlueIceVirus_
[02:19] <Fshy> Or thinking about making one.
[02:19] <vol7ron> dude: shutdown your firewalls and restart your computer, also check for proxies as McLinux stated
[02:19] <grumbo> anyone here use merge? (the tool for merging conflicting files)
[02:19] <McLinux> Fshy; that's a bit.. Fshy ;)  Have you had it working under a previous Linux install?
[02:19] <sacarlson> avi_:  just one file missing?  or can't see the cd that's mounted?
[02:19] <plouffe> Fshy thanks for the headsups
[02:20] <Fshy> McLinux -- nope. Just went with ubuntu 10.04. I know its not just me though.
[02:20] <vol7ron> grumbo: merge or comparing differences or git/merge?
[02:20] <tensorpudding> xissburg: the command for putting the xp mbr on would be ms-sys -m /dev/sda
[02:20] <dude> Vol7ron , Mclinux, have rebooted a number of times, both computers running through same router and switch, have power cycled everything, changed cables
[02:20] <BlueIceVirus_> headkase314: well I picked analog and clicked test, no sound, and pushed ok and now its froze
[02:20] <dude> I will check for proxies
[02:20] <grumbo> vol7ron: i'm using it for git's mergetool command
[02:20] <McLinux> dude, this is a home network right? not corporate, or whatever?
[02:20] <dude> correct
[02:20] <Fshy> McLinux: There's one other dude with the issue in the ubuntu forums, but he gave up since he didn't know how to use nomodeset, and just reinstalled the entire OS.
[02:20] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus_, are your speakers analog or spdif?
[02:21] <avi_> sacarlson, CDs get mounted at /~/.gvfs And the entire .gvfs directory is missing when accessing via samba.
[02:21] <blackstar256> haha
[02:21] <BlueIceVirus_> headkase314: i have both pluged in
[02:21] <vol7ron> dude: how many connection are allowed through the router?  I know that's unlikely cause, but if you have a lot of computers and only allow 5 connections, you may have maxed out.
[02:21] <McLinux> Fshy; I have an ATI card, I had trouble getting it to boot.. eventually sat down, plugged my PC into my monitor using a VGA cable.. installed the driver, configured it to display on the correct display and rebooted.. works now.
[02:21] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus_, what do you mean "froze" complete computer (and you are on a different one) or just that window?
[02:21] <BlueIceVirus_> headkase314: just that one
[02:21] <BlueIceVirus_> headkase314: have to close the terminal to get it to close
[02:22] <Fshy> McLinux: *frowns*...a little impractical given where I am at present...but if that were the case, shouldn't nomodeset be able to access the ATI config settings?
[02:22] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus_, ok type "xkill" in a console and click on the frozen window
[02:22] <sacarlson> avi_:  can you create a sym link to the file maybe then it will see it?  make sure the sym link isn't .something   the "." makes hiden files
[02:22] <vol7ron> grumbo: i'm not too familiar, since I haven't had the need yet, but what's the problem?
[02:22] <Fshy> Which...needless to say, errors out when tried.
[02:22] <dude> Mclinux, vol7ron, I was browsing internet and saw I needed to reboot the system because of an update, did so, and when it came back up I couldn't access anything
[02:22] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus_, type "gstreamer-properties" again and try the digital and click test
[02:22] <avi_> sacarlson, Yeah, that was my next move. I'll try and let you know.
[02:22] <McLinux> Fshy; don't know... i tried nomodeset myself, didn't work, I freaked out since this was on a brand new PC :)
[02:22] <halvors> I want to run an executable file when Ubuntu start, how do that? At a server.
[02:23] <Fshy> Hm....
[02:23] <vol7ron> dude: were you looking at porn?
[02:23] <McLinux> Turns out, Ubuntu/ATI doesn't seem to like DVI or HDMI cables when installing the drivers
[02:23] <robertpayne> Anyone have an apt-get repo with php 5.3.3 by chance? Looking to try and get it w/o compiling from source for php-fpm
[02:23] <Fshy> I've tried pushing the switch-monitor button on a whim...it didn't really do anything, but then again, no monitor was plugged in.
[02:23] <dude> lol, no
[02:23] <bastid_raZor> !boot | halvors
[02:23] <McLinux> do you have a spare monitor in the house? I'd try the vga cable just on a whim..
[02:23] <dude> vol7ron, gnokii
[02:23] <grumbo> vol7ron: well, it's apparently supposed to have handy buttons for determining which file's changes to use in the merged result... but it doesn't, at least on my system. I get the three columns and the diff highlighting, but no buttons to pick which changes to use, as seen in the screen shot here: (the buttons being the arrows) http://meld.sourceforge.net/meld_preview.png
[02:24] <BlueIceVirus_> headkase314: same thing happend
[02:24] <Fshy> McLinux -- technically yes, but I'm not *at* the house :P
[02:24] <Fshy> Nor anywhere near the house.
[02:24] <Fshy> Nor will be anywhere near a monitor till Wednesday :P
[02:24] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: any luck?
[02:25] <bryan_> my CD drive likes playing keep away....it ejects, I reach for the CD, and it says "Sike!" and pulls back
[02:25] <McLinux> Fshy; yuck!  All I can say is your symptoms matches mine.  Though it may not be the same exact problem for you... It boots, displays Ubuntu logo (even displays the scrolling text if I remove "quiet nosplash" from GRUB boot)
[02:25] <Fshy> Its annoying me, since I'm usually pretty good at smacking stuff around til it works. I fixed the headphone jack with ALSA, fixed the stupid wifi issue...
[02:25] <McLinux> Fshy; once it appears to want o boot GDM, it blinks out... and appears to freeze
[02:25] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus_, ok, we're back to step one except now you have the latest version of ALSA.  I'm sorry but this is the limits of my knowledge.  So, hopefully someone else will be able to help us continue.  If you end up coming back at a later time - if it's not solved in this session - make sure to mention you have updated ALSA.  There may be no solution to that hardware, I'm hoping there is and we just don't
[02:25] <headkase314> see it.
[02:25] <Fshy> Interesting. Scrolling text?
[02:26] <McLinux> The boot messages
[02:26] <vol7ron> grumbo: wish I could help, do you get the arrows or the boxes to the left?
[02:26] <BlueIceVirus_> headkase314: bummer
[02:26] <Fshy> I don't get that, at least unless I misunderstand you.
[02:26] <McLinux> All that stuff that appears under dmesg
[02:26] <BlueIceVirus_> hiexpo: do you know anyting about setting up an x-fi?
[02:26] <xissburg> nUboon2Age: dcalled ms-sys, successfully written, rebooting now
[02:26] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: was xp already installed or did you install it during the fix attempts?
[02:26] <Fshy> Oh wait. You're right.
[02:26] <Fshy> Mine does do that.
[02:26] <BlueIceVirus_> headkase314: im almost willing to buy a diff card just for it to fkin work
[02:26] <hiexpo> BlueIceVirus_,  wifi?
[02:26] <Fshy> OK, so we do have near identical scenarios.
[02:26] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus_, Sorry, I just don't know what to do.  You're lsmod mentioned an Intel HDA module, do you have onboard sound you can use in the meantime?
[02:26] <BlueIceVirus_> hiexpo: no no, soundblaster x-fi
[02:27] <xissburg> nUboon2Age: already installed
[02:27] <BlueIceVirus_> headkase314: nope
[02:27] <grumbo> vol7ron: yeah, the boxes are just for seeing where the diffs are, they aren't buttons in any capacity... don't get the arrows... I'll see if I their mailing list has anything the seems relevant
[02:27] <Fshy> Just out of curiosity, McLinux, do you get the weird pink stuff around the Ubuntu logo in the beginning?
[02:27] <hiexpo> BlueIceVirus_,  oh sorry no i am a wifi guy
[02:27] <McLinux> Hey, I didn't use Linux on my brand spanking new PC for almost 2 months for that reason, till it dawned on me to plug in the VGA cable...
[02:27] <Fshy> That eventually resolves itself?
[02:27] <McLinux> yeah it was kind of like an artifact
[02:27] <Fshy> Only occurs on this guy.
[02:27] <BlueIceVirus_> hiexpo:  no its a sound card
[02:27] <Fshy> Yeah, yeah.
[02:28] <hiexpo> yup BlueIceVirus_
[02:28] <dude> vol7ron , not running through a proxie
[02:28] <Fshy> Alright, I guess I'll leave Ubuntu alone til Wednesday and give it a shot. Thanks a lot McLinux.
[02:28] <xissburg> nUboon2Age, tensorpudding samething :(
[02:28] <BlueIceVirus_> hiexpo: lol i got it now
[02:28] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus_, I'm at my limit, don't lose hope just make sure you provide the information that ALSA is the latest version on your system whenever you try here or on ubuntuforums.org
[02:28] <McLinux> Sorry :( Hopefully it works lke magic on Weds
[02:28] <josue> #ubuntu-br
[02:28] <Fshy> There a time you're usually around or some email jic something goes wrong and I feel like contacting you, McLinux?
[02:28] <xissburg> headkase314: I'm at my limit
[02:28] <xissburg> !!!
[02:28] <McLinux> I'll try to be around
[02:29] <vol7ron> dude: does 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' do anything for you?
[02:29] <tensorpudding> xissburg: it still has the windows 7-style bootmanager options, or does it give a different error?
[02:29] <headkase314> xissburg, yeah I've been taking a look as your posts have gone by, man.. :(
[02:29] <hiexpo> hey does weakernet have a channel?
[02:29] <Fshy> Kk. Thanks a bundle. I really should hang out here a bit more.
[02:29] <xissburg> tensorpudding: Win7 style OS chooser yes
[02:30] <tensorpudding> xissburg: that is strange, it suggests that the changes that ms-sys is supposed to be doing isn't happening
[02:30] <xissburg> headkase314: I'm screwed lol but at least my files are yet intact, I think I won't lose them in any way but...I think I have no other choice other than reinstall now]
[02:30] <dude> vol7ron, hmm got 'ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0
[02:30] <Licuadora> I instaled alsamixer, bur when i try to open it with the terminal, it said "file does not exist"
[02:30] <dude> ifconfig
[02:31] <dude> opps wrong puter
[02:31] <headkase314> xissburg, yup thats a bonafide disaster - the best way to learn things! ;)
[02:31] <xissburg> headkase314: lol :(
[02:31] <nUboon2Age> its kinda like your win 7 and xp are stuck out on an island.  they aren't going anywhere, but getting to them has been difficult.
[02:32] <tensorpudding> nUboon2Age: windows 7 is ithaca, and we're odysseus
[02:32] <nUboon2Age> tensorpudding: :)
[02:32] <xissburg> what
[02:32] <tensorpudding> xissburg: maybe it's possible to run bcdedit.exe, the thing that windows uses to edit the bootloader, through wine
[02:32] <xissburg> lol
[02:32] <tensorpudding> you can still mount the windows 7 partition using wine
[02:32] <Licuadora> http://pastebin.com/GrZ7dhwz
[02:32] <xissburg> wow
[02:32] <Licuadora> Can somebody tell me why cant i connect to internet?
[02:32] <tensorpudding> err, you can mount the windows 7 partition using ntfs-3g
[02:33] <vol7ron> dude: ?
[02:33] <xissburg> it takes time to install wine?
[02:33] <Licuadora> I have wireless right now, but when i connect the cable, i can acces internet
[02:33] <ilovefairuz> Licuadora: what happens when you try to connect to a wireless network?
[02:33] <Strav> Hi. It seems I need some help getting grub2 recon my windows 7 install. I just reinstalled grub2 with my root linux partition as grub root install dir, then chrooted into my install to "update-grub2" and yet, no windows installation found. Then I suspected I might have overwritten the mbr while playing with grub's install options so I went in my windows install disk, fixed the mbr, tried to install/update grub again, still no windows
[02:33] <Strav> found. Next step, I tried entering a manual entry in /etc/grub.d/ as 11_windows, with hd(0,3) (where 3 = /dev/sda3 where is the windows mbr) and still, no luck. Any one can help on that...?
[02:33] <headkase314> tensorpudding, using bcdedit.exe in wine sounds... well... Are you sure about that?
[02:33] <dude> vol7ron, it said "Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0"
[02:33] <Licuadora> ilovefairuz: I can connect via WIFI, but not with a wire
[02:34] <Licuadora> ilovefairuz: It simply does not recongnize the cable
[02:34] <headkase314> tensorpudding, I don't think WINE has implemented low-level hard disk access is what I mean...
[02:34] <vol7ron> dude: open up /etc/network/interfaces
[02:34] <ilovefairuz> Licuadora: put the cable in and type: sudo mii-tool
[02:34] <nUboon2Age> headkase314: xissburg we could look at the winehq and see if it is rated.
[02:34] <nUboon2Age> tensorpudding: ^^^
[02:35] <ilovefairuz> Strav: have you tried booting it by hand from a grub shell?
[02:35] <Guest80295> ~~~
[02:35] <dude> vol7ron, done
[02:35] <vol7ron> anything listed?
[02:35] <Strav> ilovefairuz: nope, I'm not really acquainted with the grub shell commands.
[02:35] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus_, how about you try unpluggin one of your speaker connections - either the analog or the digital and then gstreamer-properties the one you leave plugged in?  Perhaps having both plugged makes a difference?
[02:35] <Licuadora> ilovefairuz: SIOCGMIIREG on eth0 failed: Input/output error
[02:35] <Licuadora> SIOCGMIIREG on eth0 failed: Input/output error
[02:35] <Licuadora>   No MII transceiver present!.
[02:35] <xissburg>  nUboon2Age What???
[02:36] <BlueIceVirus_> headkase314: i tired that
[02:36] <dude> vol7ron, all it has in there is "auto lo, iface lo inet loopback"
[02:36] <BlueIceVirus_> headkase314: :(
[02:36] <Strav> ilovefairuz: I'll give it a try... thanks.
[02:36] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus_, darn, that was like my last hope
[02:36] <BlueIceVirus_> headkase314: lol
[02:36] <tensorpudding> it'd be nice if windows had a live cd
[02:36] <Mqueue> tnsorpudding>>lol
[02:36] <avi_> sacarlson, Hey, sorry for the hold up. Says "Unable to mount location", and beneath that "Failed to mount Windows share"
[02:36] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus_, but don't give up hope there are people way more knowledgable than me here - you just have to be on at the right time to catch them!
[02:36] <vol7ron> dude: well that's good, add in an auto eth0
[02:36] <Strav> exit
[02:36] <xissburg> tensorpudding, nUboon2Age what did we do to bring xp to life that time???
[02:37] <JimBastard> noob question : how can i update git on ubuntu using apt-get? it seems to be stuck at git version <IP_ADDRESS>
[02:37] <BlueIceVirus_> headkase314: yep
[02:37] <avi_> sacarlson, In nautilus that is. So i guess it just REALLY doesn't want me to read .gvfs.. why should it be mounting there? What's the point of /cdrom or /media/cdrom0?!
[02:37] <BlueIceVirus_> any one else have any knowladge of audio problems?
[02:37] <xissburg> testdisk corrected the partitions
[02:37] <ilovefairuz> Licuadora: does the light blink as if the cable is connected or not?
[02:37] <tensorpudding> xissburg: i think that somehow you resurrected the xp boot manager when you reinstalled xp
[02:37] <sacarlson> avi_:  who is the owner of the directory?
[02:37] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: headkase314: tensorpudding at least winehq doesn't have an entry in the appdb, but i'll keep looking around.
[02:38] <e__> 怎么一句也看不懂～～～
[02:38] <halvors> bastid_raZor: Is there some simple commands i can run? I have the executable file.
[02:38] <dude> vol7ron, I did that and saved, then ran the networking restart and I got the same error message
[02:38] <ilovefairuz> JimBastard: sudo apt-get update && apt-cache policy git-core    (to check available versions)
[02:39] <sacarlson> avi_: sorry my cd rom is offline so I can't simulate to see what you see
[02:39] <Licuadora> ilovefairuz: nope, no blinking
[02:39] <bastid_raZor> halvors: you wanted to run a command on boot. correct?
[02:39] <ilovefairuz> Licuadora: no led light at all?
[02:39] <Licuadora> ilovefairuz: http://pastebin.com/GrZ7dhwz
[02:39] <JimBastard> ilovefairuz: still root@hook:/usr/src# git --version git version <IP_ADDRESS>
[02:39] <tensorpudding> xissburg: i'm running out of idea
[02:39] <vol7ron> dude: pastebin your ifconfig
[02:39] <xissburg> oh man it sucks...I have a lot of school stuff to do and I couldn't do anything because of this...everything depends on my main PC...
[02:40] <tensorpudding> xissburg: how did you install windows 7 on the machine in the first place?
[02:40] <Licuadora> ilovefairuz: well, there is one led on, buinking
[02:40] <xissburg> I only have one thing to say...
[02:40] <grumbo> vol7ron: I grabbed the current development version from meld's git repo, built it and viola! buttons!
[02:40] <xissburg> OWNED
[02:40] <ilovefairuz> JimBastard: the command i gave you is to check the version in the repositories
[02:40] <BlueIceVirus_> is there anyone that can help me get my sound working?
[02:40] <dude> vol7ron different computer
[02:40] <fengshaun> where is the grub config file?
[02:40] <JimBastard> ilovefairuz: sorry yeah, thats the same version
[02:40] <tensorpudding> xissburg: the only idea i have left is to find a way to burn an iso of the windows 7 recovery disk
[02:40] <ilovefairuz> !info git-core | JimBastard
[02:41] <xissburg> tensorpudding: I had the three partitions, XP was installed first...few months ago I installed 7 in the other 80GB partition.
[02:41] <vol7ron> grumbo: so the pictures were dev lies :)
[02:41] <strav_> ilovefairuz, it worked from the grub shell... so I guess next thing to do is to checkout how to write a custom grub entry...
[02:41] <shuman> fengshaun: /etc/default/grub ?
[02:41] <xissburg> tensorpudding: YES
[02:41] <fengshaun> shuman, thanks
[02:41] <bastid_raZor> !grub2 | fengshaun : grub2 has many changes. read this page to learn more:
[02:41] <xissburg> perhaps I can do it...I need to find a CD where I can burn
[02:41] <vol7ron> dude: well do you use dhcp?
[02:41] <tensorpudding> xissburg: actually, wait, you could try reinstalling xp, that would restore xp to the mbr
[02:41] <JimBastard> git-core:   Installed: 1:<IP_ADDRESS>-1ubuntu2   Candidate: 1:<IP_ADDRESS>-1ubuntu2   Version table:  *** 1:<IP_ADDRESS>-1ubuntu2 0         500 http://archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/main Packages         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

[02:41] <dude> vol7ron, yes
[02:41] <jfelt> I have a question about the canonical-census package - I was wondering if anyone had any data on how many installs were out there, and what sort of hardware Ubuntu is being run on?
[02:41] <fengshaun> bastid_raZor, thanks
[02:41] <xissburg> tensorpudding: repair?
[02:41] <vol7ron> dude: have you looked into your router settings?

[02:42] <cystic> trying out the new ubuntu... me menu is sweet
[02:42] <avi_> sacarlson, I own it. Interestingly, trying to change any of the other's access to it automatically switches back to none. I think we found our problem!
[02:42] <bastid_raZor> fengshaun: good luck.
[02:42] <tensorpudding> xissburg: you said that repair failed because you didn't have the password for Administrator
[02:42] <BlueIceVirus_> headkase314: do you know hot to edit grub?
[02:42] <fengshaun> bastid_raZor, no, I'm looking for menu.lst
[02:42] <strav_> ilovefairuz, still it's kinda strange update-grub2 cannot find my windows mbr... I have a pretty straightforward partition scheme.
[02:42] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: tensorpudding: this page has recovery DVD for win 7 link http://neosmart.net/wiki/display/EBCD/Recovering+the+Vista+Bootloader+from+the+DVD
[02:42] <rww> jfelt: the package was just put in the partner repository for OEM use. It hasn't seen significant (or any?) deployment yet, so there aren't any statistics
[02:42] <vol7ron> dude: you should type up what your ifconfig is saying and put it on pastebin
[02:42] <fengshaun> bastid_raZor, I want to add an entry
[02:42] <cystic> i wish there was a way to make status online available from me menu without opening epathany
[02:42] <xissburg> tensorpudding: the command line repair. The "installation repair"  worked
[02:42] <JimBastard> ilovefairuz: sorry, how can i check my current version? im on a random cloud instance doing some stuff righ tnow
[02:42] <tensorpudding> xissburg: installing again would overwrite any data you had on the XP partition, but it wouldn't destroy any data on the 7 partition, or the files
[02:42] <tensorpudding> xissburg: oh, okay
[02:42] <mankash> sometimes login screen keep coming back even if I type the correct password
[02:42] <tensorpudding> xissburg: do that
[02:42] <ilovefairuz> !info git-core jaunty | JimBastard, this is the latest version on jaunty
[02:42] <Guest2143> I recall using a program that creates a family tree type tree layout, but I can't remember the name (not GRAMPS). The term "thought bubble" comes to mind, Anybody know what it is?
[02:43] <xissburg> nUboon2Age: yea I wasted some time trying to run that from  pen drive
[02:43] <bastid_raZor> fengshaun: if you'll notice on that page, menu.lst is now unused and there is a different method for adding custom entries. all the information is addressed on the page linkd.
[02:43] <JimBastard> ?
[02:43] <ilovefairuz> JimBastard: you're running jaunty aren't you? not lucid
[02:43] <JimBastard> yes
[02:43] <fengshaun> bastid_raZor, my fault, thanks
[02:43] <JimBastard> i think so, how can i chec

[02:44] <avi_> sacarlson, Interesting. If I try to give myself file access, which by default "--", then try to give file access to "others", it automatically kills my file access.. Why should this happen?

[02:45] <vol7ron> dude: also, what does "uname -r" show
[02:45] <ilovefairuz> JimBastard: you'll have to upgrade to lucid if you want a more recent version
[02:45] <ilovefairuz> !who > JimBastard
[02:46] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus_, was away am now back.  Make sure you bookmark -> http://monespaceperso.org/blog-en/2010/05/02/upgrade-alsa-1-0-23-on-ubuntu-lucid-lynx-10-04/ and when you find a sound person give them that link and tell them you successfully did that - that is something the person should know
[02:46] <JimBastard> ilovefairuz: i can't update the whole box i think, there is no way to just install the new git?
[02:46] <dude> vol7ron, <IP_ADDRESS>-generic-pae
[02:46] <vol7ron> dude: by turning on auto eth0, what I meant (and hope you typed out) was "auto eth0" \n "iface eth0 inet dhcp"
[02:46] <Licuadora> Speaking of drivers, how do i upgrade my Motherboard drivers?
[02:46] <headkase314> !grub2 | BlueIceVirus_

[02:46] <BlueIceVirus_> headkase314: i did bookmark it
[02:46] <Bookman> Are there any online poker sites that are friendly to ubuntu?
[02:46] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus_, ok good!
[02:47] <ilovefairuz> !ot | Bookman
[02:47] <dude> vol7ron , no I opend gedit and typed it it the file "auto eth0
[02:47] <Bookman> ilovefairuz, how is my question offtopic?
[02:47] <ilovefairuz> Bookman: because it is.
[02:48] <vol7ron> dude: include that after the auto lo stuff, but put both lines in there
[02:48] <pmp6nl> Bookman just use a modern browser like firefox and you should be fine
[02:48] <Bookman> ilovefairuz, not sure I understand your logic
[02:48] <headkase314> Bookman, this is a technical support channel for Ubuntu.  A poker side is not tech support..
[02:48] <ilovefairuz> Licuadora: have you tried another cable ?
[02:48] <dude> ok
[02:48] <headkase314> s/side/site
[02:48] <Bookman> I am asking a simple question here....which online programs work with ubuntu?  Poker Stars?  No
[02:48] <McLinux> dude; can you do "wget www.google.com", then open the resulting page in Chrome or your preferred Browser?
[02:49] <BaKKaR> hello can I ask something regarding xampp on ubuntu here?
[02:49] <peepingtom> Could someone please tell me where I should ask questions about Ubuntu's implementation of ecryptFS? I'm wondering if it has support for Intel AES instructions.
[02:49] <Bookman> II think that is technical
[02:49] <ilovefairuz> Bookman: here is it: don't ask about poker-related topics here.
[02:49] <halvors> bastid_raZor: I want to simple to run an executable when system boot.
[02:49] <Dmstrdj> guess you cant get help unless they like the game
[02:49] <halvors> Also automaticly.
[02:49] <rww> ubottu: xampp | BaKKaR
[02:49] <shuman> BaKKaR: just ask, maybe someone can help you
[02:49] <shuman> maybe not
[02:49] <Bookman> ilovefairuz, why not?  Technical question....I don't understand
[02:49] <Licuadora> ilovefairuz: Yeah, I have sai this before, many times. It worked in a Livecd of Ubuntu 8.04, But Sabayon, or Ubuntu 10.04 like i am using right now wont reckongnize it
[02:50] <Licuadora> Strange, indeed
[02:50] <Licuadora> I even re installed the kernel, and nothing
[02:50] <pmp6nl> Anyone know a way to reinstall Ubuntu and save configurations etc.?
[02:50] <ilovefairuz> Licuadora: if not the cable, it's a driver issue
[02:51] <peepingtom> pmp6nl: There isnt a super easy way but it's not hard
[02:51] <Licuadora> How do i fix the driver?
[02:51] <ilovefairuz> Licuadora: because it cannot detect the link (the cable)
[02:51] <vol7ron> dude: you have to restart the network after
[02:51] <peepingtom> pmp6nl: You can boot to a liveCD, mount your ubuntu partiton, put everything in a folder
[02:51] <dude> mclinux, connection refused
[02:51] <Wispring> hello everyone...is anyone here familiar with running VirtualBox under Ubuntu?
[02:51] <vol7ron> dude: s/network/network interface/
[02:51] <pmp6nl> peepingtom: ok. could I save the files in / and just restore them, or is that likely to cause more problems
[02:51] <peepingtom> pmp6nl: Then when you re-install, don't format. Then you can move the configuration files back
[02:51] <McLinux> dude, that looks like a) proxy or b) firewall
[02:52] <sacarlson> xissburg: can't you just mount the win7 partition collect all your personal files and move them to your usb flash to save then and reinstall windows with something like this http://www.liliputing.com/2008/04/install-windows-xp-on-mini-note-usb.html
[02:52] <ilovefairuz> Licuadora: you don't.. i'm trying to find if anyone else has encountered this issue, and please file a bug report (join #ubuntu-bugs for help on that)
[02:52] <dude> vol7ron, it took it!!!, what is the terminal command to stop firestarter service?
[02:52] <Licuadora> ilovefairuz: i want to upgrade all my drivers, how do i do that?
[02:52] <BaKKaR> my question is, I am trying to install a php/mysql application and i have placed it in the script directory in the correct place. However when I try to begin the installation it says "This install has no rights to create or update file data.php. so I am not sure but I do belive this might be a file permission issue. Can someone shed some light for me on this one please.
[02:52] <Bookman> Ok, anyone else without a hate for poker.  Can you suggest a site that works with Ubuntu?
[02:52] <Licuadora> ok, thank you
[02:52] <vol7ron> dude: did it work?
[02:52] <ilovefairuz> Licuadora: they get shipped with the kernel, so if we didn't find a workaround, you'll have to wait for a kernel update that fixes it
[02:52] <bastid_raZor> halvors: add the command to /etc/rc.local   ;use the full path to the command.
[02:52] <headkase314> Bookman, try "/join #ubuntu-offtopic" and ask there
[02:53] <ilovefairuz> Licuadora: also, pastebin: /var/log/messages
[02:53] <peepingtom> pmp6nl: It's not an issue if you're selective about what configuration files you move back, just move back what you feel is necessary. Stuff in your home folder is always safe, you can't ruin a whole system with that stuff
[02:53] <Wispring> can anyone help me with getting sound to work in winxp under vmware under ubuntu?
[02:53] <dude> vol7ron ?dude: s/network/network interface/?
[02:53] <ilovefairuz> Bookman: one last time: poker is illegal in most parts of the world: do not ask about it here
[02:53] <sacarlson> BaKKaR: I think you could use sudo install.sh  to have superuser access at install
[02:53] <dude> vol7ron, I still cant connect but it recognizes the eth0 now
[02:53] <vol7ron> dude: nevermind that...ahh good
[02:54] <pmp6nl> peepingtom: is there a way to determine what configuration files I should keep?  or how I find them?  Basically I am just having a problem with kernels and I think a complete reintall might help.  thanks
[02:54] <ilovefairuz> Wispring: ask in ##windows
[02:54] <vol7ron> just do Firewall -> Stop Firewall
[02:54] <Bookman> ilovefairuz, no it is not.  Please keep personal opinions out of your help suggestions.
[02:54] <Wispring> no...it's an ubuntu thing
[02:54] <Wispring>  i run ubuntu
[02:54] <ilovefairuz> !ops | Bookman
[02:54] <bastid_raZor> Bookman: possibly ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:54] <xissburg> nUboon2Age: use the pendrive as CD
[02:54] <halvors> bastid_raZor: also at the bottom, /home/ss/executablefile ?
[02:54] <halvors> Only path?
[02:54] <xissburg> sacarlson: that would be a good last resort
[02:55] <cystic> why do all games on ubuntu suck so horribly?
[02:55] <BaKKaR> sacarlson, what I am trying to install is a web application. Something is similar to joomla or wordpress where you go to http://path-to-directory/scropt/install.php. and it gives  me this error when i am trying to install it.
[02:55] <headkase314> cystic, which games?
[02:55] <TheAnswer> :O LIESSSSSS
[02:55] <dude> cystic, try nexuiz
[02:55] <Wispring> use wine cystic
[02:55] <peepingtom> pmp6nl: Well that really depends what you've made changes to. If it's just userland stuff like firefox profiles and the like, lots of gnome applications store their settings in your home folder at ~/.config and some apps store them at ~/.nameofprogram
[02:55] <cystic> pacman, air combat, 3d chess
[02:55] <bastid_raZor> halvors: yes, have 'exit 0' as the last line. add everything above it.  also make usre that /home/ss/executablefile has the executable permissions
[02:55] <sacarlson> BaKKaR: don't you have admin priv?
[02:55] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: so are you going to try tensorpudding's suggestion?
[02:55] <TheAnswer> what about Urban terror
[02:55] <vol7ron> dude: but I think "firestarter stop" might be the term command
[02:56] <dude> ok
[02:56] <Wispring> cystic use wine and run windows games
[02:56] <halvors> Yes it have
[02:56] <pmp6nl> peepingtom:  ok, thanks for the info.  Also, do you have an idea why a kernel would suddenly stop working properly or how I could go about recompiling an ubuntu kernel
[02:56] <halvors> But how do this using terminal
[02:56] <halvors> Also how save edited file in vi
[02:56] <ilovefairuz> Licuadora: to easily paste it: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && sudo pastebinit /var/log/messages
[02:56] <BaKKaR> sacarlson, yes i do have admin priv but the thing is, how to setup a permission for that directory for the installer to work. can you help me with that pls as a starter
[02:56] <Licuadora> ilovefairuz: how do i do that var/log thing?
[02:56] <xissburg> nUboon2Age: repairing XP install
[02:56] <sacarlson> BaKKaR: I think you need to setup the config dir to 777 to start setup security after it installs
[02:56] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: i was just giving that page again because when you go to burn a windows recovery disk you'd need those links or ones like them.
[02:57] <peepingtom> pmp6nl: unless a program asks for you to type in your password before you makes changes to settings, those settings are stored in your home folder in those "hidden" dot folders. To see them in nautilus (gnome file browser), press ctrl+h
[02:57] <Bookman> ilovefairuz, did you get burned by online poker once?  I don't understand the excitement you seem to have over a simple question.  It it technical.  As with any other program.  Which one works with Ubuntu?
[02:57] <peepingtom> pmp6nl: As for recompiling, you almost certainly don't need to do that. What broke, exactly? does it just not boot after grub?
[02:57] <BaKKaR> sacarlson, so is it like #>chmod +777 directory-name, just like this?
[02:57] <bastid_raZor> halvors: you need to edit the file with sudo and to save and quit type :wq   in vim
[02:57] <headkase314> !ops | Bookman
[02:57] <sacarlson> BaKKaR: that sounds good
[02:57] <Wispring> i would google the ubuntu online poker thing
[02:58] <sacarlson> BaKKaR: man chmod
[02:58] <dude> vol7ron, YES it was the firewall too!!! thanks you so much for your help
[02:58] <tensorpudding> xissburg: assuming that it works, and you can boot into XP, follow http://neosmart.net/wiki/display/EBCD/Recovering+the+Vista+Bootloader+with+EasyBCD
[02:58] <tensorpudding> xissburg: Type 1 & 2 should do it
[02:58] <vol7ron> dude: everything good?
[02:58] <Bookman> Must be a sore point here.  I saw no harm in asking the question!
[02:58] <dude> vol7ron, why would my interfaces file lose eth0 all of a sudden?
[02:58] <tensorpudding> xissburg: choose the drive letter that refers to the windows 7 partition
[02:58] <headkase314> !troll | Bookman
[02:59] <Wispring> anyone here with running VirtualBox in Ubuntu?
[02:59] <vol7ron> dude: it doesn't need eth0 to operate (mine doesn't have it)
[02:59] <dude> vol7ron, I can connect now yes
[02:59] <BlueIceVirus_> anyone able to help me solve my audio issues
[02:59] <Bookman> headkase314, how is that?
[02:59] <headkase314> Bookman, asking same question over and over and receiving answer that here is not the place for your question.
[02:59] <pmp6nl> peepingtom: well it boots, but wireless, power management, and other features no longer work.  It was suddenly.  The kernel worked perfectly now not so much.  We cant find a kernel that works properly forthe comptuer
[02:59] <BaKKaR> sacarlson, i have tried that but it is invalid mod, i think i the command can be setup or syntax is different
[02:59] <tensorpudding> Bookman: there are online poker programs that work in Wine, check the Wine AppDB
[02:59] <halvors> bastid_raZor: How edit it?
[02:59] <sacarlson> BaKKaR: chmod 777 yourfile
[02:59] <dude> vlo7ron, it nust have been the firestarter, I didnt see it running in htop or anywhere else, oh well, I am still learning
[02:59] <vol7ron> dude: around the time Lucid came out a lot of people had internet problems
[03:00] <sacarlson> BaKKaR: take out th + you had there
[03:00] <halvors> Also i am inside vim but cant edit.
[03:00] <halvors> I opened with sudo.
[03:00] <Bookman> tensorpudding, that is a good option, thanks.
[03:00] <peepingtom> pmp6nl: Is is like brand new hardware or weird old stuff? Did you install one of those cutting-edge kernels from the mainline ppa? You'd know if you did this, it wouldnt happen automatically
[03:00] <Wispring> Bookman WINE is ez to install...try it
[03:00] <SalmonSam> has anyone been able to use sip2sip with empathy?
[03:00] <dude> vol7ron, yes I almost went back to 9.10 but am hangin inthere
[03:00] <vol7ron> dude: I'm not a Linux guru, just because the interfaces file doesn't have it, doesn't mean there wasn't a cached version somewhere
[03:00] <sacarlson> BaKKaR: oh or dir  chmod 777 /theplace/yourdir
[03:00] <kingtut> is anyone getting an error massage proc/bus/usb
[03:00] <bastid_raZor> halvors: sudo vi /etc/rc.local   the press i to enter insert mode then make the changes. press Esc to exit insert mode. then :wq to exit and save
[03:00] <dude> vol7ron, more of a guru than I, thanks again
[03:01] <BaKKaR> sacarlson, ok i have tried that but still same error
[03:01] <vol7ron> dude: sometimes re-defining things fixes problems, just like flushing the dns
[03:01] <Bookman> Holy cow, I didn't need to get beat up here....wow. Some angry people.
[03:01] <vol7ron> dude: no problem, McLinux helped me with my problem, so I had to help someone else
[03:01] <dude> cystic, try nexuiz, it is a great fps
[03:01] <Wispring> Bookman can you see this?
[03:01] <peepingtom> pmp6nl: Can you post the output of "uname -a"? That'd tell me what version of the kernel you're running, we could find out if someone an oddball one was installed. Things shouldnt randomly break in a stable ubuntu release, you're not running 10.10 maverick are you?
[03:01] <dude> vol7ron, ic pass it on huh? ok
[03:01] <Bookman> Wispring, yes
[03:02] <pmp6nl> Its a friends computer, an I3 processor based computer which seems to have issues with ubuntu.  We updated to 2.6.32-24-generic kernel and everything worked perfectly.  One day everything stopped working.  I am not sure if she did something or not, but we are trying to find a kernmel that will actually work with the hardware.  No its 10.04
[03:02] <sacarlson> BaKKaR: just open the whole /var/www then
[03:02] <halvors> and for save?
[03:02] <halvors> bastid_raZor: ?
[03:02] <vol7ron> dude: btw I don't think "firestarter stop" works, I think it just starts firestarter again
[03:02] <sacarlson> BaKKaR: not sure what dir you put it in
[03:02] <vol7ron> dude: I think it's "firestarter --stop"
[03:02] <bastid_raZor> halvors: :wq will save and quit
[03:02] <Wispring> Bookman chk your conference thing
[03:02] <dude> vol7ron, correct, I went into prefs and shut it down that way, and killed the auto start
[03:02] <sacarlson> BaKKaR:  maybe it's just a symlink  make sure if it is that you chmod at what it points to
[03:03] <vol7ron> dude: it also looks like there's a "lock" option
[03:03] <BaKKaR> sacarlson, i have it saved in the /opt/lampp/htdocs directory, i am running the xampp server
[03:03] <dude> vol7ron, i will try that one
[03:03] <nUboon2Age> Bookman: of course there are poker games in the repos.  as far as on-line poker goes i don't know if there is any native linux poker client, but here's two approaches: http://www.thepokerbank.com/rooms/ubuntu/
[03:03] <vol7ron> dude: I mean, the firewall could have been locked in the background, which blocked all your traffic
[03:04] <Bookman> nUboon2Age, thanks!
[03:04] <pmp6nl> peepingtom: Its a friends computer, an I3 processor based computer which seems to have issues with ubuntu.  We updated to 2.6.32-24-generic kernel and everything worked perfectly.  One day everything stopped working.  I am not sure if she did something or not, but we are trying to find a kernmel that will actually work with the hardware.  No its 10.04
[03:04] <sacarlson> BaKKaR: so no symlinks?
[03:04] <nUboon2Age> Bookman: i was just googling around for "ubuntu, on-line poker"
[03:04] <dude> vol7ron, true... ok firestarter --stop indeed shuts it down
[03:04] <BaKKaR> sacarlson, no symlinks.
[03:04] <ilovefairuz> nUboon2Age: do not discusses poker here
[03:05] <BaKKaR> sacarlson, lemme take a second look as well
[03:05] <vol7ron> dude: based on your ifconfig, it looks like your eth0 connection setting was good... I think going to your router page would have given you more information if you were truely connected and just your firewall was blocking your traffic
[03:05] <halvors> bastid_raZor: I got it, thank you ;)
[03:05] <Bookman> nUboon2Age, thanks, I was not understanding the animosity to my question here!
[03:05] <nUboon2Age> ilovefairuz: i'm not, just providing a few ubuntu references for the game.
[03:05] <dajskld> f
[03:05] <bastid_raZor> halvors: you're welcome
[03:05] <vol7ron> dude: you should check what ifconfig says now, just to compare if setting auto eth0 did anything
[03:05] <bazhang> Bookman, jpoker is in the repos
[03:05] <dude> voltron, router setup was aok. it was all on the local machine
[03:05] <peepingtom> pmp6nl: I have no idea, the only stuff you can do to screw up an Ubuntu kernel is to either install one of those "backports" packages which are newer kernel-modules (hardware drivers) that are ported to an older version of ubuntu (and they usually work fine). The other thing is to try and compile your own kernel modules, replacing some files with the ones that came with Ubuntu packages. So if you want to find out if it's an actual kernel pr
[03:06] <Dmstrdj> Bookman: that is plentiful here
[03:06] <headkase314> Bookman, I suggest you listen to bazhang as he is an operator here
[03:06] <vol7ron> dude: router may have been fine, but you can check the devices that are connected to the router on the router itself
[03:06] <BlueIceVirus_> any one able to help me with my sound card problems?
[03:06] <vol7ron> dude: if you found your MAC address there, then you know the problem wasn't with your network interface
[03:06] <dude> vol7ron, ifconfig doesnt have cast <IP_ADDRESS> now hmm, why would that be
[03:06] <nUboon2Age> Bookman: i think there was a bit of misunderstanding.  This is a bit a a stress environment where folks are trying to answer technical questions about ubuntu, and sometimes the stress and the definition of 'what is technical ubuntu question' can lead to misunderstandings.
[03:06] <Bookman> bazhang, yes but is there anything comparable to poker stars or the like?
[03:06] <dude> voltron ic re:router
[03:07] <peepingtom> pmp6nl: Like when Ubuntu installs a new version of the kernel, it keeps the old ones. And all the kernel modules for different kernels live in their own folders, so if you were to for example try to compile your own modules and screw something up, it would generally only affect the kernel that's currently running.
[03:07] <BlueIceVirus_> headkase314: So if I had a diff X-FI card then i wouldnt have these problems?
[03:07] <pmp6nl> peepingtom:  is there some reason that uninstalling and reinstalling that kernel does not fix the issue?  Is there a way I can just download the kernel sources separately and compile them my self
[03:07] <Bookman> nUboon2Age, If that is the case, forgiven.
[03:07] <bazhang> Bookman, perhaps via wine if that is a windows game; check the appdb and join #winehq
[03:07] <BlueIceVirus_> headkase314: like a standard soundblaster card vs the msi ver that came with my mobo?
[03:07] <bazhang> !appdb | Bookman
[03:07] <vol7ron> dude: not sure, but you can make it broadcast that :)
[03:07] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus_, I think if you had a different card your chances of having working audio would be greater - yes what comes with the mobo is a good candidate to try.
[03:08] <Bookman> bazhang, see, perfect help with no animosity.  Love it!
[03:08] <dude> vol7ron, hmm interesting if I am thinking the same thing
[03:08] <BaKKaR> sacarlson, no symplinks there. Just the installation directory
[03:08] <bazhang> Bookman, apt-cache search poker turns up some others as well
[03:08] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus_, I think that because of the page I dug up (lost the link now) which talks about the x-fi specifically having issues under Ubuntu.
[03:08] <vol7ron> dude: if it's not broke, don't fix it... but it is good to understand
[03:08] <BlueIceVirus_> headkase314: the card I have now is the one that came with my mobo.
[03:09] <Dmstrdj> any chance the new 10.10 would be able to usetilize an ati radeon video card
[03:09] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus_, so there is no onboard sound for your mobo or the x-fi is onboard?
[03:09] <Wispring> anyone here familiar with getting sound to work in winxp under VirtualBox under Ubuntu?this is quite a technical question IMHO.
[03:09] <xissburg> I'm back, had to reset this machine
[03:09] <BlueIceVirus_> headkase314: i did read that the guy in the page you found was talking about the msi version, which is what I have
[03:09] <Bookman> bazhang, thanks again.  Let me check those out.  No bad words needed!
[03:09] <Dmstrdj> haha, use*
[03:09] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: how's it going?
[03:09] <bazhang> Dmstrdj, #ubuntu+1 for maverick support/discussion
[03:09] <pmp6nl> wispring: what have you tried?  Should work by default
[03:10] <Dmstrdj> bazhang: k thanks i look around there
[03:10] <BlueIceVirus_> headkase314: no on board audio,
[03:10] <bazhang> Wispring, you may also wish to ask in #vbox
[03:11] <Wispring> bazhang..thanks that's the kind of answere i needed
[03:11] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus_, if it comes down to it would you be willing to spend like $15 and get a generic card for audio?  I know it's not an x-fi but x-fi is really about gaming and there isn't much commercial high-end gaming on Ubuntu?
[03:11] <peepingtom> pmp6nl: You probably won't see any benefit from compiling one yourself versus installing the binary packages that are available though. The reason people do that is to add patches or use newer kernels than are supplied with Ubuntu. Have you tried booting to an earlier version of the kernel to see if it's actually a kernel problem? 'cause it's probably not an issue with the kernel, but some stuff in userland. Did everything break at once?
[03:11] <BlueIceVirus_> headkase314: http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=prodmbspec&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=171&cat3_no=537&prod_no=1438
[03:11] <xissburg> nUboon2Age: the WinXp recovery is going on, I think it will be successful and bring XP back
[03:11] <BlueIceVirus_> headkase314: Ya, im tinking about getting one of those cheap usb sound cards
[03:12] <nUboon2Age> good xissburg. very good.
[03:12] <pmp6nl> peepingtom:  since she got the computer it has had problems running ubuntu (this was a commone thread on ubuntuforums).  Some kernels would allow for this, others that, and finally the one I am speaking of worked with everything.
[03:12] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus_, yeah theres no audio on that spec sheet so you have an x-fi add-in card.  Stay clear of USB audio!  Get a realtek add-in card - basic audio that works fine under Ubuntu
[03:12] <peepingtom> pmp6nl: Also as for why uninstal/reinstalling kernel packages didn't work, were you trying to reinstall the kernel package that you were currently using, or did you boot into an earlier one to reinstall the latest kernel, or could you maybe have by mistake only uninstalled/reinstalled an older version of the kernel that wasn't in use?
[03:13] <peepingtom> pmp6nl: But it's a regular ubuntu install and it just randomly broke one day, right?
[03:13] <BlueIceVirus_> headkase314: Oh, ok no usb audio. Check ;)
[03:13] <peepingtom> pmp6nl: What im saying is that it's an issue caused by an update to the ubuntu kernel, you can easily boot to the older version by holding shift at boot and picking it at grub
[03:14] <peepingtom> pmp6nl: if booting to an older version doesn't fix it, you don't have a kernel issue :)
[03:14] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus_, yup, usb audio is as big a can of worms as your current x-fi!  Google whatever you decide to purchase + "ubuntu" and choose something that either has no negative links or has positive links
[03:14] <peepingtom> pmp6nl: and then you could easily reinstall without format and put your files back as we discussed earleir
[03:15] <BlueIceVirus_> headkase314: well like you said, all i need is simple audio for linux
[03:15] <pmp6nl> peepingtom: All kernels have had issues.  Just different issues with each kernel (ie: wireless, power management, screen flicker). The most recent kernel fixed all of these issues for a few days then it randomly stopped working properly
[03:15] <Licuadora> Does anyone knows what does this means?
[03:15] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus_, you can also check the Linux hardware compatibility list -> http://www.linux-drivers.org/
[03:15] <Licuadora> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/9004uBXJ
[03:15] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus_, yup basic audio is absolutely fine.
[03:15] <peepingtom> pmp6nl: Do you need proprietary drivers? You can install a mainline kernel in Ubuntu
[03:16] <peepingtom> pmp6nl: but it doesn't ahve the headers so you can't use ubuntu-supplied proprietary drivers
[03:16] <Mqueue> how to burn UIF formats ?
[03:16] <peepingtom> pmp6nl: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
[03:17] <Bookman> ilovefairuz, see, was that so hard to answer?  I was not doing anything wrong with my question
[03:17] <Jordan_U> peepingtom: There is a header package there as well.
[03:17] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: as tensorpudding recommended, these instructions would apply after you're able to boot into XP http://neosmart.net/wiki/display/EBCD/Recovering+the+Vista+Bootloader+with+EasyBCD
[03:17] <BlueIceVirus_> headkase314: my current card is on this list :/?
[03:17] <BlueIceVirus_> headkase314: !!!!
[03:17] <peepingtom> Jordan_U: I meant for the restricted stuff like nvidia proprietary drivers, am I wrong?
[03:17] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: except instead of 'vista' just replace with 'win 7'
[03:17] <peepingtom> Jordan_U: specifically the ubuntu-supplied proprietary binary driver modules
[03:17] <pmp6nl> peepingtom: I cant recall, its on a friends computer.  But if it does I have tried it both ways.  Just not sure why this particular model is having all these issues and why the one kernel just stopped working
[03:18] <xissburg> nUboon2Age: I got some (old) CDRWs. I'll try to burn it on them
[03:18] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus_, here is ALSA compatible hardware -> http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Main Technically your card is on the list but it obviously shouldn't be.  I have realtek cards and fine those work like champs!
[03:18] <headkase314> s/fine/find
[03:18] <_GLaDOS_> Ah, I like these types of support channels
[03:18] <_GLaDOS_> Users helping other users
[03:18] <Bookman> headkase314, I was not doing anything wrong with my question.  I had it answered correctly before being reported for abuse.  I have no idea why you did that.
[03:19] <manu__> hello ubuntu people
[03:19] <headkase314> Bookman, whatever - its over.
[03:19] <Jordan_U> peepingtom: Ubuntu uses DKMS, which builds the drivers (or rather, the glue portion of them) when you install a new kernel. If the proprietary drivers are compatible with the version of the kernel you are installing at all, then they should work as long as you install the header package.
[03:19] <BlueIceVirus_> headkase314: well the other thing is  I only have a pcie x1 slot
[03:19] <maco> headkase314: realtek is one of a dozen companies making codecs for azelia (hda) audio chips.  each company has many many codecs & revisions of those though, so unless you're looking at a list of subsystem vendor id's paired with codec revisions...
[03:19] <BlueIceVirus_> headkase314: i dont have reagular pci slots avail
[03:19] <Bookman> headkase314, no it is not.  I still do not know why you did what you did.  I asked a simple question.
[03:20] <nUboon2Age> Bookman: just a misunderstanding i think.  let's move forward. :)
[03:20] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus_, a sound card is pretty low on requirements I think you could find one to go in a pcie x1 slot?
[03:20] <peepingtom> Jordan_U: So this is from a time before DKMS was implemented in Ubuntu? https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2009-February/000542.html
[03:20] <maco> BlueIceVirus_: keep in mind they make usb sound cards for like $10
[03:21] <BlueIceVirus_> maco: we already decided usb is a no go :)
[03:21] <headkase314> maco, how troublesome are USB sound cards in Linux - I have a bad feeling about them?
[03:21] <BlueIceVirus_> headkase314: im looking at newegg for pcie cards and they are only creatives and auzuretech
[03:21] <maco> headkase314: the guy that did ubuntu audio for years and years has two that work fine...  usb headsets are also usb sound cards (built into them) and i have one of those and its fine
[03:22] <pmp6nl> peepingtom:  would I just go to http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ and try a new kernel and see what happens?  Use the package installer to install them then select that version in grub?
[03:22] <tensorpudding> xissburg: did those instructions help?
[03:22] <maco> headkase314: he actually recommended to one of our friends today "just go pick up a $10 usb sound card at best buy" with no mention of specific models to watch for
[03:22] <headkase314> maco what is the exact brand you could recommend to BlueIceVirus_ ?
[03:22] <Bookman> nUboon2Age, I just want to make sure that everyone understands that i asked a legit question.  No matter how harsh the help was at the beginning.
[03:22] <peepingtom> pmp6nl: Yup, no harm done if it doesn't work
[03:22] <maco> headkase314: i have the impression they are very well supported
[03:22] <maco> headkase314: they have a /lot/ less variation than onboard cards do
[03:22] <xissburg> tensorpudding: I got WinXp to boot again. It is still finishing the repair
[03:22] <headkase314> maco, ok maybe my woogie feeling is misplaced for USB audio then?
[03:23] <xissburg> tensorpudding: I got some old CDRWs Ill try to burn that Win7 recovery in it
[03:23] <pmp6nl> peepingtom: so its that easy, just use the gdebi package installer for both the image and headers?
[03:23] <peepingtom> pmp6nl: It says theyre made for 10.10 maverick but I dont see why it wouldnt work with Lucid
[03:23] <peepingtom> pmp6nl: Yup, I went through a similar thing with my laptop in Feb and it worked for me
[03:23] <HB2> hi somebody know why sometimes the flash objects turns "gray  color" ????
[03:23] <maco> headkase314: probably :)  most stores will let you return if it doesnt work in linux anyway. ive checked with microcenter and best buy on that, and they both said they'll take back for *any* reason in the first month
[03:24] <pmp6nl> peepingtom:  Thank you very much for your help, I will have her try various kernels and see what works.  I really appreciate your help!
[03:24] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus_, got maco's comment about returning?  Inquire about that pre-purchase and you only lose your time worst-case?
[03:24] <peepingtom> pmp6nl: Just to clarify, did you ever have to install any drivers using the Ubuntu "hardware drivers" "Restricted driver" thing?
[03:24] <peepingtom> pmp6nl: no problem btw, good luck!
[03:24] <BlueIceVirus_> headkase314: sounds like an idea
[03:25] <pmp6nl> peepingtom:  I do not think so, but I cant remember (its on a friends computer).  will it matter with new kernels?
[03:25] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus_, keep asking questions!  Everyone here is better to recommend than just me! ;)
[03:25] <nUboon2Age> Bookman: yes i understand.  it is unfortunate, but true that problem does come up semi-frequently.  i don't quite know how to solve it.  bazhang is one of the operators and seems to understand your questions in the context they were intended so maybe having a chat with bazhang might be helpful.  its kind of a cultural issue with this channel.  people are a little tense at times and sometimes push the panic button a little
[03:25] <maco> BlueIceVirus_: in the meantime, whatever's wrong with your audio driver, please report a bug :)  ubuntu-bug -s audio
[03:25] <nUboon2Age> quickly.
[03:25] <peepingtom> pmp6nl: Well that's what I was wondering, that Jordan_U guy said its not an issue but Ive read documentation that says there are no restricted modules in mainline builds
[03:25] <maco> Bookman: bazhang has already said in #ubuntu-ops that its just a misunderstanding and folks shouldnt worry about you
[03:26] <Bookman> nUboon2Age, Nice to know.  It would be nice to have the others admit.  No worries.
[03:26] <HB2> hi somebody know why sometimes the flash objects turns "gray  color" ???? I'm using Flash player 10 and nspluginwrapper 1.3 on amd64 arch =/ I HATE FUCKING FLASH !!!!!
[03:26] <ilovefairuz> maco: posting poker websites links here is VERY questionable at the very lest
[03:26] <maco> HB2: watch your language
[03:26] <headkase314> Bookman, ok - know I have that experience if it happens again.  grumble grumble, sorry.
[03:26] <pmp6nl> peepingtom:  ok.  I suppose it wouldnt hurt to install the kernel and see what happens... I can always switch back
[03:26] <peepingtom> pmp6nl: But lots of hardware has open source drivers now. Also just for future reference, you don't have to recompile a whole kernel to compile a module
[03:26] <maco> ilovefairuz: well if they were related to the question... but i wasnt here at the time
[03:26] <BlueIceVirus_> maco: done ;)
[03:27] <maco> BlueIceVirus_: thank you!
[03:27] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: those instructions wouldn't require getting the recovery dvd, but of course at some point you'll want/need it.
[03:27] <bazhang> Bookman, and others, lets move on please
[03:27] <peepingtom> pmp6nl: Like many drivers arent built into the kernel itself because they're so crappy that the Linux develpers won't let the code merge with theirs
[03:27] <Bookman> bazhang, done.  Just a learning experience I hope! Understanding!
[03:27] <peepingtom> pmp6nl: That's why Ubuntu has the restricted modules, and also for proprietary drivers
[03:27] <xissburg> nUboon2Age: the recovery DVD is to try to recover Win7
[03:28] <xissburg> now that the partitions are ok
[03:28] <BlueIceVirus_> headkase314: well i have another issue, freakin adobe flash isnt working
[03:28] <bazhang> Bookman, PM please
[03:28] <pmp6nl> peepingtom:  on the new kernel wont I have an option to select restricted drivers?
[03:28] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus_, flash not working as in at all or only when you try to click on it?
[03:28] <peepingtom> pmp6nl: er maybe not "restricted modules" for open source stuff that isnt in the kernel, but thats why Ubuntu has to add some drivers in separately
[03:28] <nUboon2Age> so to clarify xissburg there are two paths we are talking about here.  1) the http://neosmart.net/wiki/display/EBCD/Recovering+the+Vista+Bootloader+with+EasyBCD
[03:28] <peepingtom> pmp6nl: No idea, Jordan_U said so but https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2009-February/000542.html says no, hopefully you can :)
[03:29] <BlueIceVirus_> headkase314: well im using chrome. and sites are asking me to install the latest, but its supposedly already in chrome
[03:29] <pmp6nl> peepingtom:  oh ok.  Thanks I will give it a whirl and see.  I really appreciate your help!!!
[03:29] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: that one doesn't require the recovery DVD and may/should fix the bootloader menu.
[03:29] <peepingtom> np. Also: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds?action=show&redirect=KernelMainlineBuilds
[03:29] <bullgard> How can I determine if the program Rhythmbox depends on Avahi or Avahi depends on Rhythmbox?
[03:29] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus_, it is in chrome - I know that for a fact, sorry maybe the sites are not coded properly?  Does youtube work fine without errors?
[03:30] <manu__> if any of it syas an error
[03:30] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: 2) is only if you cannot boot into any version of Microsoft Windows.
[03:30] <BlueIceVirus_> headkase314: let me try
[03:30] <peepingtom> bullgard: Avahi doesnt depend on rhythmbox
[03:30] <mrman208> !rhythmbox | bullgard
[03:30] <ZykoticK9> BlueIceVirus_, i don't think the Chrome with flash built-in, is on linux yet (i could be wrong).  Try installing flash non-free or whatever it's called these days ;)  I get mine from ubuntu-restricted-extras.
[03:30] <nUboon2Age> xissburg: they recommend doing #1 first.
[03:31] <headkase314> BlueIceVirus_, I know for a fact because I saw a Chrome update the other day and consciously checked my flash version in Chrome, installed the update, checked flash again: and my flash version was higher.  So, it's a fact.
[03:31] <McLinux> Not booting into any version fo MS windows isn't neccessarily a Bad Thing(tm)
