[00:00] <madfox> kemnitz idr off the top of my head. I think its x11 but check the help for apt-get and there should be an option to list packages and you can output that to grep
[00:00] <will> i nautilus under program?
[00:00] <jrib> will: nautilus is the name of the default file browser
[00:01] <kemnitz> madfox: k thanks. looking now....
[00:01] <Gnea> opr: weird. have you run sudo apt-get update?
[00:01] <martian67|> !danger Gnea
[00:01] <zebastianortis> hey i have a problem
[00:01] <martian67|> !danger
[00:01]  * Gnea looks at martian67|
[00:01] <zebastianortis> i thoguht i had changed the password but it turns out i didnt i typed sudo passwd root and changed the password
[00:01] <zebastianortis> but my sudo pw is the same as before
[00:01]  * Gnea looks HARD at martian67|
[00:01] <zebastianortis> it didnt work
[00:01] <almater> also will the startup disk creator wipe existing content of the specified mass storage device
[00:02] <myrmidon> hm
[00:02] <madfox> kemnitz try x11-common specifically
[00:02] <crucialhoax> Why wont AWN show open windows of icons not added to the dock?
[00:02] <opr> gnea:http://pastebin.com/r4Vbzni0
 Hm, i was looking in the permisions, but i dont see it there, i think its how the shell interprets the request, which could mean youre answear is in the bash RC file. --Just guessing though
[00:03] <will> where is my default windows 7 ntfs partition
[00:03] <rod> MOCP died in the upgrade to 10.10!!!!!
[00:03] <madfox> will its probably the only ntfs partition detected
[00:04] <will> I'm in the file brower
[00:04] <myrmidon> hm interesting
[00:04] <Gnea> opr: did you say you're using a proxy?
[00:04] <myrmidon> does anyone know how to use terminal to launch a program and close the terminal?
[00:04] <madfox> will well then get out of the file manager, open up a partition manager, and look at its mount point
[00:04] <opr> yes, auto configuration url one
[00:04] <jrib> econdudeawesome: move on to mpd!?
[00:04] <opr> gnea: ^
[00:05] <Gnea> opr: k, why can't you use direct connection?
[00:05] <opr> at university
[00:05] <zacstone> anyone got to get ubuntu 10.10 at 120hz yet?
[00:05] <kellnola> myrmidon, you can't. Why would you want to?
[00:05] <Gnea> so you can't load webpages on a uni computer?
[00:05]  * Gnea can load webpages just fine at his uni
[00:05] <opr> gnea: i can, the proxy is working in my browser
[00:05] <zacstone> with new 120hz gaming LCD monitors?
[00:05] <lakcaj> Hello.  I've tried google and the forums, but I'm having a problem.  I installed 10.10 on my desktop machine, and after installing the nvidia-current restricted driver, I get a blank screen after a reboot.  GDM does not come up at all.  Any suggestions?
[00:05] <myrmidon> so i can launch things from terminal
[00:05] <zebastianortis> Blicken, bash file?
[00:05] <myrmidon> and not have the terminal sitting there idle in the background
[00:06] <opr> gnea: everything works in windows too
[00:06] <prappl93> Anybody know if it is possible to get Evolution to run in the background so I can have it checking my e-mail constantly and be informed when I get new mail?
[00:06] <zacstone> ^1test
[00:06] <zebastianortis> by the way nobody answered my question, i thought i had changed my password by sudo passwd root but the password i use to login seems to be the same, can someone help me out
[00:06] <kellnola> myrmidon, you can. But normally, when you close the terminal, or more properly the shell, it closes it's child processes
[00:06] <Gnea> opr: what steps have you taken, so far, to get the proxy to work with apt?
[00:06] <zacstone> 120HZ 120HZ I WANT. I WANT IT NOW. ANYBODY KNOW WHY MY NVIDIA WON'T LET ME DO IT?
[00:07] <Gnea> zacstone: because you typed in all caps.
[00:07] <opr> gnea: system > preferences > network proxy > auto-configuration URL > apply system wide
[00:07] <jrib> zebastianortis: run « sudo passwd root -l », then run « passwd » (both as your user)
[00:07] <scott_ino> zebastianortis, because you don't login under root do you? it's not roots password it's your admin password
[00:07] <madfox> zebastianortis why are you loging in as root?
[00:07] <RRU_Sciguy> zacstoneL may not be supported by your monitor
[00:07] <jeff_mitchell> i have the latest Linux Format magazine, and i'm trying to install handbrake from the LXF DVD. it keeps telling me to install more dev junk, and then i try "make". but every time it says i need to sudo apt-get more dev tools. what the heck gives?
[00:07] <Smail> as port forwarding in Ubuntu? in which files are configuration?
[00:07] <will> where is partition manager
[00:07] <iflema> zebastianortis you dont set a root password in Ubuntu nor use the root account at all! sudo passwd [username] sill change the sudo password and what are you doing and this is Ubuntu support...
[00:08] <RRU_Sciguy> zacstone, it may not be supported by your monitor
[00:08] <zebastianortis> ok, now going back to my original request, how do i make a password prompt pop up when i click on a particular folder i created which only root can read/write?
[00:08] <scott_ino> Smail, have you tried UFW?
[00:08] <jrib> zebastianortis: you probably want to look into some sort of encryption options
[00:08] <jeff_mitchell> addendum on last post: is there a meta packages which installs all the dev stuff for me? build-essentials isn't enough.
[00:08] <Smail> yes!
[00:08] <madfox> will I dunno its your system.  I installed gparted and it shows up under administration
[00:08] <Gnea> opr: I see.... is there a result from this command:  echo $http_proxy
[00:08] <kellnola> zebastianortis, you would need to create a script for nautilus to do that
[00:08] <vsd20c> I'm setting up a network for a web server and a domain... I'm going to be running it off a older box but, not sure how i should run the base. If i installed ubuntu or puppy linux as a base would it be okay to virtualize the server machine on that base or should i directly install the server os on the machine.... or does it matter at all?
[00:08] <will> where is the partition manager
[00:08] <scott_ino> Smail, and no go? usually that does the trick for easy port forwarding
[00:09] <zebastianortis> kellnola, pcmanfm
[00:09] <quietone> prappl93, edit->pref->mail accounts->edit->receiving options
[00:09] <iflema> zebastianortis alt+f2 gksudo [packgemanager] [path]
[00:09] <madfox> zebastianortis we already told you. Make a wrapper with gksudo
[00:09] <rww> jeff_mitchell: what sort of thing are you looking for that isn't in build-essentials?
[00:09] <opr> gnea: no it is blank :\
[00:09] <zanus> How do you change the login splash screen
[00:09] <opr> gnea: must i restart the computer?
[00:09] <Gnea> opr: no.
[00:09] <zanus> I can't find it in Themes
[00:10] <phirestalker> is there a way to get desktop effects to be enabled when my session starts so my cairo dock looks right?
[00:10] <Gnea> opr: okay, do you know how to use vim?
[00:10] <jeff_mitchell> rww: well, right now it says "E: Couldn't find package autoreconf". and before that it was a whole lot of other things.
[00:10] <kemnitz> madfox: I told aptitude to reconfigure it, and there was a bunch of errors about an illegal character in the version string. I then tried startx|less to see the whole mess of errors it was saying and I think I may have noticed the culprit. "FATAL: Module nvidia not found" then "NVIDIA: Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module."... What package is for that?
[00:10] <kellnola> zanus, gdm2 isn't very configurable in ubuntu yet
[00:10] <zebastianortis> madfox, how!?
[00:10] <opr> gnea: not very well, can i use nano instead?
[00:10] <prappl93> quietone, thanks, but I don't know if that will work as I am planning. I mean with Evolution closed entirely... is there a way to keep it running in the background sort of thing?
[00:11] <blakkheim> opr: vim would be a very useful thing to learn
[00:11] <Gnea> opr: sure, do this:  sudo nano /etc/bash.bashrc
[00:11] <zebastianortis> gksudo pcmanfm /Home/Desktop/Elegance/$ = DEBUG: FmJob error: No such file or directory
[00:11] <madfox> kemnitz crap...not sure. I can try digging it up but idk if it would work or not. you may need to try a fresh install.
[00:11] <opr> gnea: roger
[00:11] <Smail> thank so you so much!
[00:11] <Gnea> opr: then add the following line:  export http_proxy=http://user:pass@your.proxy.server:port/
[00:11] <rww> jeff_mitchell: Install the "autoconf" package to get autoreconf. I don't know of a metapackage that covers autoconf etc., though.
[00:12] <madfox> zebastianortis muck around your menu configuration and look at how gksudo is used. Then make a new menu option that uses that for pcman.
[00:12] <opr> gnea: ok, standby
[00:12] <ddilinger> when doing nslookup on a domain of mine, i get 'no servers could be reached'  how can i find out what server its trying to get from(not the local named server, which is fine for all lookups besides this one, but whatever that server is connecting to that is timing out)
[00:12] <scott_ino> Smail, did you get it?
[00:12] <kemnitz> madfox: I'll try installing nvidia-kernel-common, which I notice isn't installed, and see if it starts behaving.
[00:12] <opr> gnea: i don't have a username and password?
[00:12] <dorin> does anyone know  how to get apt-get through ssh tunnel, like socks5 ?
[00:12] <Monika> I have just upgraded to Kubuntu 10.10. When I now click links in Thunderbird, they open in Konqueror instead of Firefox, even though I have set Firefox as the default browser in the system settings and set the http and https handlers in Thunderbird's about:config to /usr/bin/firefox. Any thoughts?
[00:12] <Gnea> opr: then http://your.proxy.server:port/
[00:12] <madfox> kemnitz sounds like a good idea. might need to reboot or even recompile the kernel though.
[00:13] <Smail> yes!
[00:13] <opr> gnea: ok, trying that
[00:13] <Gnea> opr: let me know when you've saved and quit
[00:14] <kemnitz> madfox: oooh. that will be an adventure! ... crud. how do I connect to eth0 via DHCP from the command line?
[00:14] <zebastianortis> madfox, ok how do i muck around my menu config?
[00:14] <zebastianortis> i am a newb
[00:14] <Gnea> opr: you then need to run this command:  . /etc/bash.bashrc  before sudo apt-get update
[00:14] <opr> gnea: i fixed it now, i didn't need to nano it, i just set up the proxy manually rather than with the config url
[00:15] <Gnea> opr: oh?
[00:15] <opr> gnea: yeah everything seems to be working now, heh heh heh
[00:15] <madfox> zebastianortis not sure. In gnome its under my administration
[00:15] <Gnea> opr: awesome
[00:15] <opr> gnea: thanks for your help and patience
[00:15] <Gnea> opr: cheers
[00:15] <vsd20c> Self bump: Making ubuntu network - for base machine can i virtualize off of puppy linux or should i just install the server os directly
[00:15] <zebastianortis> madfox, what should i google for if i'm on lubuntu
[00:16] <hDy> is it possible to use diffrent wallpapers on each desktop without compiz?
[00:16] <Gnea> zebastianortis: you should say that you're a noob in the first place, next time.
[00:16] <madfox> kemnitz hmm...there was a link somewhere about that. I can try looking for it. Or if you are adventurous info ifconfig
[00:16] <zebastianortis> Gnea, will do next time
[00:16] <hiexpo> nite all

[00:18] <suweid> Howdy, I was wondering if someone could maybe help me with a weirdo problem. My ISP uses some kind of custom settings... I don't know what it is exacly, but internet basically works after about 3 minutes of inactivity, when I plug it into my stationary computer. On my laptop however, it does not work. My best guess is that some DHCP setting needs longer timeout.  Topic for consideration; tracert goes, but the host does not ping?  whats the problem?
[00:19] <Flare183> `3Shades: sudo killallvi
[00:19] <BLZbubba> it is infinitely l4me
[00:19] <`3Shades> Flare183, how without a terminal
[00:19] <Flare183> `3Shades: oh there's a terminal
[00:19] <econdudeawesome> jrib: what is mpd?
[00:19] <madfox> kemnitz K, good luck
[00:19] <Flare183> `3Shades: if all else fails, use xterm
[00:19] <`3Shades> Flare183, where lol
[00:19] <jags> music player daemon
[00:20] <jrib> econdudeawesome: by "mocp" you meant the music player right?
[00:20] <Flare183> `3Shades: Run xterm via The Run window
[00:20] <econdudeawesome> jrib: yes. I haven't come across mpd.
[00:20] <Lateralus> Does anyone know where I can find a package of xserver-xorg-video-intel for lucid which has displayport support?
[00:20] <hiexpo> one must remember google is ones best friend
[00:20] <Gnea> between ubottu and google, yeah
[00:20] <Lateralus> Or where I can find instructions for building a package from the display-port branch of that driver's code
[00:20] <jrib> econdudeawesome: http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Music_Player_Daemon_Wiki It has tons of clients.  Many on the console.  For example, ncmpcpp
[00:20] <Smail>  I know you people in the know! Topic for consideration; tracert goes, but the host does not ping?  whats the problem?
[00:21] <zebastianortis> how do you log in as root?
[00:21] <KB1JWQ> Smail: Disabled ICMP Echo on the host.
[00:21] <KB1JWQ> zebastianortis: sudo, generally.
[00:21] <korisnik____> hi. i have amd64 procesor and 10.04 version. problem is that i dont know do i have amd64 or i86 version of ubuntu. if i have amd version i would update normally on 10.10, but if i have 10.4 i86 is it possible to update on 10.10 amd64 without full reinstall
[00:21] <Gnea> Smail: tracert is a windows program
[00:21] <hiexpo> root
[00:21] <zebastianortis> no i mean, how do you stay s root the whole time, i made a file that only root can write and its my journal
[00:21] <KB1JWQ> !root
[00:21] <zebastianortis> sometimes it takes me an hour writing an entry so
[00:21] <KB1JWQ> sudo bash?:-)
[00:21] <econdudeawesome> jrib: but why isn't mocp working? That is the preferred one for our household, and just works typically
[00:21] <Gnea> zebastianortis: it doesn't work like that.
[00:21] <Datz> any reason why gnome system monitor would be showing 7.8GB of RAM when 8 are installed
[00:21] <Flare183> korisnik____: open a terminal on the i386 version, and type in lshw
[00:21] <MrStein> sudo su
[00:22] <Smail> yes
[00:22] <korisnik____> man sudo, info sudo whatis sudo, apropos sudo
[00:22] <Flare183> korisnik____: and look for the CPU info, it'll tell you
[00:22] <jrib> econdudeawesome: oh I have no idea.  Did you check bugs.ubuntu.com?  What happens now when you try to run mocp?
[00:22] <Gnea> MrStein: bad. sudo -i is preferred
[00:22] <Flare183> Datz: Your BIOS might be reserving some
[00:22] <econdudeawesome> jrib: major fail.
[00:22] <jrib> econdudeawesome: huh?
[00:22] <econdudeawesome> jrib: it fails majorly
[00:22] <econdudeawesome> jrib: get the following

[00:23] <MrStein> switching to VT1 by ctrl-alt-F1 disconnects me from WLAN. Switching back to VT7 (X) makes it to reconnect. Is this by design?

[00:23] <`3Shades> think a restart would work
[00:23] <Monika> How can I disable this horrible Netbook shell that made itself default after upgrading to Maverick and get back normal KDE?
[00:24] <kemnitz> madfox: crud. this thing is having errors left and right... a fresh install is starting to sound like a great idea. Its still complaining about version strings. "error in Version string `3.0.147-586977_Ubuntu_karmic`: invalid character in revision number."
[00:24] <scott_ino> MrStein, just tried it, didn't disconnect me at all
[00:24] <jrib> econdudeawesome: and did you check bugs.ubuntu.com?
[00:25] <econdudeawesome> jrib: No, cause this is a legacy error from the beta. Thought I'd be disgruntled ;-)
[00:25] <karan> hi
[00:25] <rww> Monika: It's somewhere in System Settings. Workspace, perhaps? There should be a dropdown somewhere with "Netbook" and "Desktop" in it.
[00:25] <jrib> econdudeawesome: http://moc.daper.net/node/599 looks promising
[00:25] <karan> i eed help with wine

[00:26] <madfox> kemnitz that does look like a bad version, especially since google turns 0 results for it o.o
[00:26] <karan> i tried to install cod 4 but it didint work...so i tried to uninstall it...it wont not go away from the list in wine...so thn i deleted the whole cod 4 directory under my c drive...

[00:27] <seanp2k> ente: lol, troll?
[00:27] <karan> wat is  rm -rf
[00:27] <ente> karan: remove recursively
[00:27] <maco> karan: remove, recursively, forced
[00:27] <karan> meaning..?
[00:27] <scott_ino> MrStein, yes
[00:27] <ente> seanp2k: I was curious about the reactions
[00:27] <edbian> karan, It deletes everything on your hdd
[00:27] <KB1JWQ> ente: Troll elsewhere.
[00:27] <madfox> karan rm -rf delete EVERYTHING if you do it to / you wipe your system
[00:27] <Flare183> karan: it would remove everything in your root filesystem deleting everything
[00:28] <seanp2k> ente: I like umount -l / more
[00:28] <seanp2k> ente: echo > /etc/fstab is also fun
[00:28] <korisnik____> why not just use some winxp shitty program for fixing partition table. that really messes things up, and doesnt delete anything
[00:28] <MrStein> scott_ino: I tried it in LiveCD. On desktop I connect by clicking the NM applet (then enter WPA2 key...). If I go to VT1 (or VT2,...) the ifconfig shows the interface has no IP address assigned. pings fail etc...

[00:29] <scott_ino> MrStein, perhaps it's hardware specific?

[00:30] <MrStein> it was the same on both

[00:30] <seanp2k> econdudeawesome: check out 'cmus' too, sounds like the same kind of program (CLI mp3 player)
[00:30] <scott_ino> MrStein, so you're saying when you switch using Ctrl+Alt F1 it disconnects you?
[00:30] <suweid> Scunizi, house.
[00:30] <MrStein> yes
[00:30] <kemnitz> madfox: lol. It seems to be saying its related to `virtualbox-3.0` which I did have installed, but I uninstalled it now. Hay! Now I'm not getting complaints about it. <reboots again/>
[00:30] <scott_ino> MrStein, WLAN
[00:30] <scott_ino> I can test on lan if you'd like/

[00:31] <MrStein> scott_ino:  I described it here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1594318
[00:31] <suweid> Scunizi, other people in the house have the same problem. After connecting jack to computer it take a few minutes to connect. This time it doesn't work though. :/
[00:31] <korisnik____> can i do update from 32 to 64?
[00:31] <MrStein> scott_ino: did you set you connection as a system connection?
[00:31] <korisnik____> without loosing data
[00:31] <Scunizi> suweid: well.. that jack in the wall goes someplace else in the house which interfaces to the cable line or phone line for internet access.. and has an internet "modem" attached.
[00:31] <ente> why is rm -rf / still considered dangerous even though it does nothing unless you add --no-preserve-root?
[00:32] <Scunizi> suweid: that modem is for cable internet or DSL.. do you know which?
[00:32] <seanp2k> glaucous: look in your ~/.themes folder in
[00:32] <madfox> kemnitz nice
[00:32] <seanp2k> glaucous: try this: http://library.gnome.org/admin/system-admin-guide/stable/themes-0.html.en
[00:32] <scott_ino> MrStein, just normal WLAN.... selected my SSID, entered in my WPA key (which is now saved in keyring) and away it goes
[00:32] <Flare183> korisnik____: No that I know of, what I had to do when I made that mistake with my laptop was back everything up and reinstall Ubuntu using the 64bit version
[00:32] <rww> ente: because 1) some currently-supported versions of Ubuntu don't have that patch, 2) generally people who say it are looking to cause damage.
[00:32] <madfox> ente cause you never know what strange things people do to their systems...
[00:32] <znull> hey any ideea why I can't mount my HDD ? mount: unknown filesystem type LVM2_member I'm getting
[00:32] <suweid> Scunizi, I'm from sweden, we don't have DSL. Everyone has ethernet everywhere! No modems...
[00:33] <ente> rww: which ones?
[00:33] <bastidrazor> ente: you
[00:33] <suweid> Scunizi, the connection is basically silent for a while, and then it starts to talk back.
[00:33] <seanp2k> ente: i work for a hosting company and we have had people do stuff like recursively chown /var and other dumb things
[00:33] <MrStein> scott_ino: well, if you ever feel bored, please try it in the Live environment and comment on that forum thread. ;)
[00:33] <MrStein> thanks for now
[00:33] <glaucous> seanp2k, thanks, will take a look
[00:33] <kemnitz> madfox: crud. still can't startx because it still claims the nvidia module is missing. You mentioned recompiling my kernel?
[00:33] <rww> ente: 8.04
[00:33] <ente> seanp2k: hey, that's nice
[00:33] <seanp2k> glaucous: NP, i modified my theme, it's not too hard
[00:34] <ente> rww: wow, that's still supported?
[00:34] <scott_ino> MrStein, just tried it again, no issues.... even ran a few commands in VT1
[00:34] <Scunizi> suweid: wow.. so it must come in via fiber or something.. well. I really don't know I'm sorry to say.. you might ask your ISP about that .. if others are having the same problems then it might be their issue and not yours
[00:34] <Monika> maco: thanks, found it \o/
[00:34] <korisnik____> ok, im googleing long time now, Flare183 , gonna see there, but tbh, there was too much work into this install to do full reinstall
[00:34] <rww> ente: LTS, so supported for three years on desktop, five on server.
[00:34] <madfox> kemnitz yeah. I havnt messed with that much but it seems that when you add a new kernel module you have to recompile it with that module. there are guides on the net.
[00:34] <Scunizi> suweid: their's meaning the ISP
[00:34] <glaucous> seanp2k, great. trying to figure  out a good mix between ambiance and clearlooks
[00:34] <maco> Monika: yay!
[00:34] <MrStein> scott_ino: well the obivous thing is to run ping on VT1 to see if it works
[00:34] <Pinna> I am using freenet6's ipv6 tunnel because I want to party with the cool kids and all that. The 400ms+ latency is a bit unsuitable for some applications such as IRC... so I still want to use ipv4 by default, using ipv6 only when necessary. How do I configure this? (i might also randomly die because of this)
[00:34] <Flare183> korisnik____: Just takes a lot of patience
[00:34] <Monika> and actually Arbeitsbereich could reasonably be translated to workspace ... not sure how I missed that#
[00:34] <seanp2k> glaucous: this might be of interest too:http://developer.gnome.org/doc/tutorials/metacity/metacity-themes.html
[00:35] <madfox> kemnitz if that doesnt work or starts going over your head too much Id just say F it lol
[00:35] <RedXIII> git
[00:35] <suweid> Scunizi, well, thanks anyway. I'm sure they are just doing something "clever". You don't happen to know if there is a DHCP ip aquisition timeout setting and how one would go about changing that value?
[00:35] <rww> ente: heck, 6.06 is also still supported on servers. LTS lasts a long time..
[00:35] <mm3> hi, is there a window with network services?
[00:35] <rohanc> unable to connect to internet in Ubuntu 10.10 wired DSL connection, any ideas guys?
[00:35] <glaucous> seanp2k, perfect
[00:36]  * madfox is away: Time for lunch!
[00:36] <seanp2k> rohanc: is it PPPoE or .... ?
[00:36] <Ryen> !away | madfox
[00:36] <ente> does ubuntu have any advantages on a server over, let's say, debian?
[00:36] <Scunizi> suweid: I don't ... however you might try using network manager and "disconnect" the network.. pause.. then reconnect and the computer will request an IP again.
[00:36] <edbian> ente, It's newer packages so there are more features.
[00:36] <suweid> Scunizi, that's how i used to "fix it" before!
[00:36] <RRU_Sciguy> rohanc, should connect entirely.....
[00:36] <karan> someone help ^.-
[00:36] <suweid> ifup / ifdown
[00:36] <edbian> ente, Other than that there is very little difference between Ubuntu server and Debian server.
[00:36] <rohanc> seanp2k: in windows yes it is PPPoE
[00:36] <scott_ino> MrStein, yes it works... sorry.. wish i could give you my working setup as i don't ever switch
[00:36] <karan> k atleast which is the best fps on ubuntu online?
[00:37] <seanp2k> rohanc: check here first: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE
[00:37] <kemnitz> madfox: heh. yeah. I was trying my hardest to keep my current install just so that I wouldn't have to reinstall all of the PPAs and stuff I've got, but I'm starting to think that that may be easier that all this.
[00:37] <suweid> Scunizi, but now it doesn't work. Oh well. I'll google "internet not working" and die of old age. :)
[00:37] <rohanc> RRU_Sciguy: i'm sorry, i couldn't get it
[00:37] <rww> ente: Ubuntu adds a bunch of cloud computing support and the option for commercial support from Canonical. Other than that, not really imho.
[00:37] <Scunizi> suweid: LOL!  what happens if your machine is off.. plugged into the network and is turned back on.. if it works immediately then it's a strange issue..
[00:37] <seanp2k> rohanc: might be better to post all the details in a forum post because it's a complicated problem
[00:37] <Pinna> oh well.
[00:37] <ente> sounds reasonable
[00:37] <rohanc> seanp2k: i've already connected and updated my system.. but them later after rebooting.. it doesn't connects
[00:38] <ente> support from canonical was the main reason why ubuntu was so widely accepted, iirc
[00:38] <rohanc> seanp2k: what details do I have to post?
[00:38] <edbian> ente, Yeah that's probably true.
[00:38] <suweid> Scunizi, no it would still take 3 minutes. Of course I had a router at some point and then everything would work right away, because it would hold the connection. It had an accident involving a plant and a lot of swearing so it's out of commision now.
[00:38] <mm3> should I repeat the question?
[00:39] <Pinna> So... how do I configure my netbook to default to ipv4?
[00:39] <edbian> Pinna, It already does
[00:39] <edbian> mm3, please do
[00:39] <Scunizi> suweid: does it happen when more than one machine is plugged into the network in the house at the same time? does it happen if only one machine is plugged in ?
[00:39] <geckopunk> Good evening everyone!
[00:39] <mm3> hi, is there a window with network services?
[00:39] <waaade> does anyone have time to help me with some wireless problems in 10.10?
[00:40] <KB1JWQ> !ask | waaade
[00:40] <edbian> waaade, yep
[00:40] <Pinna> edbian: does it? it does not explain why all my irc clients use ipv6 when i tell them to connect to irc.freenode.net
[00:40] <noob581849864> where do i DL a stable version of Handbrake?
[00:40] <mm3> for example under SUSE there is a graphical app to enable services at startup
[00:40] <Flare183> noob581849864: You can't at the moment unless you build it
[00:40] <suweid> Scunizi, it happens always, and there's only one jack so i'll go with "one machine".
[00:41] <afallenhope> !ati
[00:41] <edbian> Pinna, oh, IDK it might be choosing ipv6 over ipv4.  I"m not sure.
[00:41] <waaade> edbian, my wireless works perfectly when i first boot up.  (i'm running 10.10 on an MSI u100 netbook).  When i put it to sleep and wake it up again, i can see networks but can't connect.  it just keeps asking for the router's password
[00:41] <edbian> waaade, Let's do it.  PM me if you want
[00:41] <geckopunk> So I've been getting this error when I startup. My Screenlets says: "Internet connection is required to run this Screenlet"
[00:41] <geckopunk> So I thought it was my ClearRss screenlet
[00:41] <Pinna> i had to explicitly kill gogoc (my tsp client for freenet6) to be able to use ipv4 now.
[00:41] <Scunizi> suweid: then you only have 3 choices.. reconnect the way you have been.. google ubuntu dhcp auto refresh timing or something.. or get a new router ..
[00:42] <Pinna> this is my guess, edbian
[00:42] <ente> whatever, good night to all of you
[00:42] <geckopunk> I edited the code in /usr/shar/screenlets/ClearRssScreenlet.py to make __timeout = 15 to accomoated for my wireless to connect
[00:42] <geckopunk> but I still get the error...
[00:43] <Pinna> well, i would appreciate it if anyone could help. the original question is "I am using freenet6's ipv6 tunnel because I want to party with the cool kids and all that. The 400ms+ latency is a bit unsuitable for some applications such as IRC... so I still want to use ipv4 by default, using ipv6 only when necessary. How do I configure this?"
[00:43] <geckopunk> is there a code to only connect my ClearRSS screenlets to run when active connection is present?
[00:43] <noob581849864> Flare183: compiling from source gives me a deluge of errors. see here: http://pastebin.com/5DXCtAwF
[00:43] <suweid> Scunizi, I'm going to google until I get gray hair, then I'll consider getting a router. :D
[00:43] <edbian> waaade, Problems like that are common.  It is difficult to write open source software for things like suspend to disk and suspend to ram because they are poorly implemented and not well standardized.  The only suggestion I can make is try modprobe -r <moduleName> the module for the wifi card right before you suspend.  Then modprobe <moduleName> right after you come back from suspend to get it working again.
[00:43] <suweid> Scunizi, thanks.
[00:43] <e01> hello
[00:43] <KindOne> Anyone know how to make Ubuntu NOT ask for my password every time i want to do something ???
[00:44] <e01> i had problem when watching movies on totem
[00:44] <e01> i see that pulseaudio uses 90% of cpu
[00:44] <Flare183> KindOne: you can't because its a security flaw if its not that way
[00:44] <jrib> KindOne: it will only ask for a password for administrative tasks.  What exactly are you doing so often that requires a password?
[00:44] <waaade> edbian, i'll give that a shot.  i appreciate your help!
[00:44] <scott_ino> KindOne, anything administrative you can't... however you can auto login and auto installs security updates
[00:44] <edbian> KindOne, It only asks for the password when you want to do something an administrator should do.  It's pretty much the core of Linux security that you're not root all the time.
[00:44] <e01> is it known problem or is just on my system
[00:44] <noob581849864> KindOne, you could run as root all the time (bad idea) or you could change the time delay, which is usually 15 mins. i have the same problem, but i put up with it!
[00:44] <edbian> waaade, Yep.
[00:44] <RRU_Sciguy> e01: shouldn't happen.......
[00:45] <noob581849864> KindOne, change the 15 min sudo period to 30 min... maybe?
[00:45] <e01> RRU_Sciguy, any idea?
[00:45] <Pinna> KindOne: do you mean sudo, or your keyring?
[00:45] <recmajkemi> my  apelet network manager moved to right side all of the sudden and i cant move it back on default place
[00:45] <RRU_Sciguy> e01: not really, may be the sound decoders you are using......
[00:46] <cxo> What was the previous default font called?
 "does ubuntu have any advantages on a server over, let's say, debian?" - In contrast to Debian, Ubuntu will say "please" and "thank you".
[00:46] <test34> all I need to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 is: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade right?
[00:46] <jrib> test34: nope
[00:46] <jrib> !upgrade | test34
[00:46] <test34> thanks jrib
[00:46] <edbian> test34, Go into software sources and make sure it's set to normal releases and not LTS only.  Other than that, yes
[00:47] <test34> ok edbian, thanks
[00:47] <Ianr> I rebooted my machine today and now I can't resolve domain names.  I can ping ip's and connect to my wireless network.  Any ideas on where to look? I never had to set my name servers or anything like that before
[00:48] <noob581849864> compiling handbrake from source is useless. can't i just add another repo and DL the package?
[00:48] <edbian> Ianr, The name servers are set in /etc/resolv.conf
[00:48] <KindOne> Yeah, it asked for my password whenever i do stuff like Synaptic Package Manager.... I just want to turn that password asking thing off, and I know the risks
[00:48] <Cheeto> Is there a way to download 10.10 directly onto my Ubuntu 10.04 machine?
[00:48] <realubot> How do I set a password for the user ubuntu using a Ubuntu Live on USB? I know that sudo passwd ubuntu will set a password but it won't be stored at my persistent Ubuntu Live USB. How do I set a password for the user ubuntu that will prevent the use of sudo without having a password?
[00:49] <Ianr> edbian: file doesn't exist
[00:49] <edbian> Cheeto, Yes.  Go into software sources, change it from LTS to normal. Then start the update manager.  It does take a long time but it's in place
[00:49] <edbian> Ianr, you don't have an /etc/resolv.conf   ?
[00:49] <Scunizi> test34: dist-upgrade *does not* take you to the next release.. it upgrades packages you already have within the release you're running
[00:49] <Cheeto> edbian, how do I change it?
[00:49] <kemnitz> madfox: WOOOOOOO! :D Just tried booting with my old kernel, and it worked like a charm. At least now I can mess with this stuff through Synaptic :P
[00:50] <edbian> Cheeto, ?  It's a drop down menu
[00:50] <Ianr> edbian, whats wierd is that I have a resolve.conf.tmp
[00:50] <Ianr> edbian, resolve.conf is empty
[00:50] <edbian> Ianr, Very odd.  Change it.  Drop the .tmp
[00:50] <edbian> Ianr, not resolve.conf, resolv.conf
[00:50] <edbian> Ianr, no 3
[00:50] <edbian> Ianr, no e*
[00:50] <korisnik____> Cheeto: you go to software repository, and there look for long time support, swithc to normal
[00:51] <Cheeto> edbian, found it. Sorry. Couldn't find it for a sec. :S
[00:51] <Cheeto> korisnik____, found it. ;)
[00:51] <virtu> hi, I am back again... anyone knows if the audio interface behringer model UCA202 works nice on Ubuntu?
[00:51] <korisnik____> i did it my self just seconds before you asked
[00:51] <edbian> KindOne, use windows if you wanna be root all the time
[00:51] <KindOne> ....
[00:51] <edbian> Cheeto, :)
[00:51] <Ianr> edbian, what I try to move/copy it says "Input/output error"
[00:51] <edbian> KindOne, You said you were annoyed with the root password?
[00:52] <korisnik____> strange, im looking into update page, didnt gave that option...
[00:52] <edbian> Ianr, Then you're doing it wrong?  sudo cp /etc/resolve.conf.tmp /etc/resolv.conf
[00:52] <gilaniali> I am running ubuntu on a VPS. Can I make an account that is space limited, i.e the user cant store more than X gb of data on it?
[00:52] <Ianr> edbian, i'm already root
[00:52] <edbian> Ianr, then do that same command without sudo.  What error does it give?
[00:52] <KindOne> edbian: if i open " Ubuntu Software Center " it wants the password, I want to disable the password asking thing entirely...
[00:53] <Ianr> edbian, same error "Input/output error"
[00:53] <edbian> KindOne, The only way I know of to never enter a password is to be root all the time.    It is the same methodology of windows xp.
[00:53] <sakekasi> how do I turn on multitouch in ubuntu desktop 10.10?
[00:53] <smmy> can anyone tell me what this means when trying to add a key and how to fix it please? "gpg: no writable keyring found: eof"
[00:53] <scott_ino> KindOne, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-disable-password-prompts-in-ubuntu.html maybe??
[00:53] <Ianr> edbian, maybe my USB is corrupt, this is live mode (persist)
[00:54] <korisnik____> my mistake, it does say on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaverickUpgrades to switch to normal.
[00:54] <edbian> Ianr, It sounds that way to me.
[00:54] <seyfarth> Uhh don't laugh, but are there solutions to the default Gbrainy puzzles anywhere?
[00:54] <scott_ino> sakekasi, you can't yet,I think most of the multi-touch support is for devs though you can get  two finger scrolling easily
[00:54] <blakkheim> lol
[00:54] <realubot> Does anyone have a clue how to store a password for user ubuntu using a persistent Ubuntu Live USB? The password will be lost each time I shutdown the computer so that the ubuntu user still will work without wntering the password. I want even the user ubuntu to enter a password executing sudo command.
[00:54] <smmy> !lol | blakkheim
[00:55] <blakkheim> smmy: don't think saying it once is "on a regular basis"
[00:55] <Jordan_U> realubot: How big is the USB drive? You may just want to do a regular install.
[00:55] <test34> Scunizi, ok thanks, I followed instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaverickUpgrades and upgrade is on the way
[00:55] <bhsher_> Hello all.  Can anyone help a "newbie" with a printer problem?
[00:55] <Ianr> edbian, i can't even ls -l resolv.conf to read the permissions.  Is it possible network manager left it open or has it open?
[00:55] <Ryen> !anyone | bhsher_
[00:55] <scott_ino> bhsher_, just ask
[00:56] <edbian> Ianr, That file doesn't get locked.  Additionally you can ls -l a locked file.  Something is wrong the the FS on the flash drive.
[00:56] <smmy> can anyone tell me what this means when trying to add a key and how to fix it please? "gpg: no writable keyring found: eof"
[00:56] <afallenhope> I'm having issues with my video driver running Lucid on amd64 ATI Technologies Inc M880G [Mobility Radeon HD 4200]
[00:56] <test34> Ryen, a question can also start with "Does anyone.." and be the real question
[00:56] <afallenhope> right now I'm using the open source driver, but for whatever the reason I can't use tty terminal or press "logout"
[00:56] <bhsher_> I have a Canon mx 860 that I need help getting to work with Ubuntu.  So far, it will not print.
[00:57] <LjL> test34: well that one wasn't
[00:57] <Ryen> test34: Look at the question, he is asking to ask a question. using either ask, or anyone triggers are permitted.
[00:58] <scott_ino> bhsher_, http://forums.linux-foundation.org/read.php?25,9006,9786
[00:58] <scott_ino> might be of help
[00:58] <test34> Ryen & LjL, this bot "fact" is wrong that's all.. I'm not saying that his question was not his real question
[00:58] <meesebyte> my MSI wind u160's wireless card is havin problems... It won't connect to networks and after trying it suddenly is just "disabled" and when I manually switch the wifi on/off ubuntu freezes up and I have to reboot
[00:58] <KindOne> scott_ino: thanks that worked !
[00:58] <smmy> can anyone tell me what this means when trying to add a key and how to fix it please? "gpg: no writable keyring found: eof"
[00:58] <bhsher_> Thanks Scott.  I'll give it a shot.
[00:59] <scott_ino> KindOne, np ;)
[00:59] <LjL> test34: you can propose a new one by doing /msg ubottu !no anyone is <reply> blah
[00:59] <Pinna> 'ello Dice-Man
[01:00] <Dice-Man> what ?
[01:00] <Dice-Man> hi Pinna
[01:00] <hDy> anyone know of a good webcam recording software for linux?
[01:00] <Dice-Man> cheese !
[01:01] <benh> hrm
[01:01] <realubot> Jordan_U: It's 4GB.
[01:01] <hDy> cheese didn't work so well for me, same with wxcam :/
[01:01] <benh> did the GUI upgrade tool suddently become dumber than an arse or did somebody at Canonical had a brain fart ? :-)
[01:01] <scott_ino> hDy, you can also try guvcview
[01:01] <test34> hDy, do you need motion detection ? e.g.: starts recording when it detects motion
[01:01] <korisnik____> im doing the normal update now, but i have a feeling that i would download less if had gone with alternative? is my feeling right? coz im dowlnoading 900mb
[01:01] <virtu> hi, I am back again... anyone knows if the audio interface behringer model UCA202 works nice on Ubuntu?
[01:01] <benh> seriously ... doing an upgrae used to keep your sources and just rewrite them to change the distro name
[01:01] <hDy> test34, nah just youtube video stuff
[01:01] <realubot> Jordan_U: And I will be able to use it on more than one computer so maybe I need to use the Live version then?
[01:02] <benh> but the maverick one just removes everything and points you to the canonical servers unconditionally
[01:02] <benh> so gone the local mirrors, proxies etc...
[01:02] <benh> grmbl
[01:02] <Jordan_U> realubot: You can use a normal install on more than one computer as well.
[01:02] <test34> hdy, if cheese doesnt work there might be a problem with your webcam driver
[01:02] <meesebyte> my MSI wind u160's wireless card is havin problems... It won't connect to networks and after trying it suddenly is just "disabled" and when I manually switch the wifi on/off ubuntu freezes up and I have to reboot
[01:02] <hDy> test34, the video output is fine.. just the audio/video sync is horrible
[01:02] <hDy> eeer wait cheese doesn't do audio lol
[01:03] <hDy> wxcam had bad audio/video sync
[01:03] <realubot> Jordan_U: Ok, I thought a normal installation somehow identified the computer architecture and installed (compiled) Ubuntu in a specific way or something.
[01:04] <realubot> Jordan_U: But will it fit on a 4GB flash drive? I know it will work using a 8GB drive, but 4GB?
[01:04] <realubot> Jordan_U: I don't need any storage at all, just a comple of MB.
[01:04] <realubot> *couple
[01:04] <Jordan_U> realubot: Yes, the minimum requirement is 2.6 GIG
[01:05] <realubot> Jordan_U: ok, that sounds very nice and you are sure it will work as a Ubuntu Live booting from USB?
[01:05] <sakekasi> wait so is there no way to enable multitouch? I have a multitouch touchpad
[01:05] <test34> hDy, not really sure what the problem is, but it could possibly be your computer/CPU is too slow
[01:05] <realubot> Jordan_U: Even if I use it on a computer different that that I used to create the install?
[01:06] <Jordan_U> realubot: Yes.
[01:06] <realubot> Jordan_U: Ok, thank you very much. Then I will do a comlete installation instead of using the Live session. Thanks once again.
[01:06] <Jordan_U> realubot: If you install any proprietary drivers then that will no longer be true though.
[01:06] <Jordan_U> realubot: You're welcome.
[01:07] <realubot> Jordan_U: Yes, I understand that, but I'll just install the default Ubuntu system, no other software.
[01:07] <dugger5688> realubot: Keep in mind that not all computers can boot from USB.
[01:07] <Monika> I have just upgraded to Kubuntu 10.10 with Thunderbird 3.1. When I now click links, they open in Konqueror instead of Firefox, even though I have set Firefox as the default browser in the system settings and set the http and https handlers in Thunderbird's about:config to /usr/bin/firefox. Any thoughts?
[01:08] <realubot> dugger5688: Yes, I know. But the computers I'am going to use the flash drive are able to boot from USB. Thanks for warning me anyway.
[01:08] <sakekasi> I just got the following error from firefox while trying to download a fileThe file could not be saved because you do not have the proper permissions.  Choose another save directory.

[01:10] <realubot> sakekasi: Yes, maybe it is.
[01:10] <ninjabox> no, I'm saying those are the two modules you need to see which one works for your card
[01:10] <ninjabox> Guest72475: lspci | grep Network will show you what card you have
[01:10] <Guest72475> ninjabox, thanks
[01:10] <realubot> sakekasi: Check who owns the directory by: ls -l /media/directory...

[01:14] <blakkheim> sakekasi: man chown;man chmod
[01:15] <realubot> sakekasi: Try change the owner by: sudo chown sakekasi:sakekasi /path/to/your/download/directory
[01:15] <Soraya> any suggestions ?
[01:15] <KindOne> scott_ino: did not work...
[01:15] <Scunizi> sakekasi: do you mount it manually? or does it mount automatically on boot? if it's on boot then check the permissions in the mount line in /etc/fstab
[01:15] <realubot> sakekasi: The you will change the owner AND the group sakekasi.
[01:15] <sakekasi> Scunizi it mounts automattically
[01:16] <Scunizi> sakekasi: then check /etc/fstab
[01:16] <sakekasi> Scunizi how do I change the owner in fstab?
[01:16] <billybigrigger> adwdad: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1569941
[01:16] <realubot> Soraya: Maybe you have shut down the wireless using a switch at your laptop?
[01:16] <billybigrigger> adwdad: the answer, (and exact problem) is in that post
[01:16] <Scunizi> sakekasi: you can also change the owner by .. sudo chown <your user name>:<your user name> /media/<mount point>
[01:17] <adwdad> billybigrigger:  i found that aswell but i don't know how to do the things it says
[01:17] <sakekasi> Scunizi here's the line in fstab: /dev/sda7   /media/Files   ntfs   defaults   0   0 what should I change?
[01:17] <realubot> Soraya: Some people have shut down wifi by misstake and have to turn it on manually.
[01:17] <Soraya> i need to enable it
[01:17] <Scunizi> sakekasi: ah.. a ntfs partition.. that I don't know.. typically adding rw in the right spot of the line.. I'll have ubottu send a link on mount
[01:17] <mtk31> can anyone help me with my screen resolution?
[01:18] <Scunizi> !mount | sakekasi
[01:18] <Soraya> how can i do this ?

[01:18] <ROPEN> hi
[01:18] <Soraya> realubot: how i enable my wireless
[01:19] <realubot> sakekasi: Maybe this option in fstab will do any good: "user - Permit any user to mount the filesystem. This automatically implies noexec, nosuid,nodev unless overridden."
[01:19] <dan__> Is anyone else getting updates failing on fresh install of 10.10? I have failed on line "run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/header_postinst.d/nvidia-common 2.6.35-22-generic /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-22-generic". I am running a Toshiba Satellite Pro M200 with intel onboard graphics
[01:19] <damien_c> when i plug it in it still plays on my speakers...not very useful :P
[01:19] <adwdad> billybigrigger:  how do i "give the hard drive the MS-DOS partition table and formatting it to NTFS" Will this delete my data?
[01:19] <realubot> sakekasi: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab
[01:19] <ROPEN> hi
[01:19] <ROPEN> eny one her
[01:19] <billybigrigger> adwdad: yes you will most definitely loose your data...but if you can't mount it, there shouldn't be any data on it? correct?
[01:20] <FreshPrince> ROPEN, a lot as u can see

[01:22] <korisnik____> adwdad: backup data on it, and reformat with suggested settings on that page
[01:22] <mtk31> ubottu I know about it, but I dont know how to change on my netbook using ubuntu 10.10
[01:23] <adwdad> billybigrigger: i don't have anywhere to put it, is there anyway to do it without losing my data?
[01:23] <realubot> Soraya: Well, I think you may have problems with the wifi driver, BUT first you may try to switch the wifi on/off or off/on manually by using the switch that is located somewhere at your laptop chassis.
[01:23] <geckopunk> Okay, I'm still having issues with my Screenlets...

[01:25] <nkey> mtk use the ubuntu netbook edition
[01:25] <realubot> Soraya: Here are the solution I think: "Easy fix. Connect to your network with an Ethernet cable. Let Ubuntu download and process the pending updates. Reboot. Then go to System - Administration - Hardware Drivers and let it search. It will Show "Broadcom B43 wireless driver". Activate it. "
[01:25] <mtk31> the highest is 1024*600 I want 1024*768

[01:26] <nkey> hmm
[01:26] <Ryen> mtk31: You cannot create a larger resolution. Your "monitor" or screen will only allow you what it says.

[01:27] <mtk31> ryen I know it but in windows I can do it with atray soft
[01:27] <Soraya> yes

[01:45] <MarkTimTach> Hello I really need help
[01:45] <MichaelBehan> Good evening :)
[01:45] <octavio-rdz> Yusuke: have you tried with wine?
[01:45] <Scunizi> Yusuke: there's lots of CAD programs available .. some quite complete .. AutoCAD may never run in linux
[01:45] <MarkTimTach> can I talk to an admin
[01:46] <MichaelBehan> I am installing Ubuntu inside windows from a USB key, and it seems that even though I downloaded the i386 ISO - it is installing a 64bit OS. Is this normal?
[01:46] <Scunizi> !ask | MarkTimTach
[01:46] <MichaelBehan> My arc his intel i5 64, but I want to install the 32bit OS.
[01:46] <quant> MichaelBehan, no
[01:46] <MichaelBehan> arch
[01:46] <MichaelBehan> Hmm
[01:46] <Scunizi> MichaelBehan: you can do that with no problem
[01:47] <MichaelBehan> Mainly because the RSA and Cisco software I need to use does not work in wine on a 64bit platform
[01:47] <alberto> Can anybody help me with PulseAudio Jack module?
[01:47] <MarkTimTach> I was installing Ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop and my screen went blank and then shut off and now I can not boot it up it is just a blank screen i can't even recover it
[01:47] <Scunizi> MichaelBehan: if your machine is 64 bit you have the option of 64 or 32 bit OS.. if your machine was only 32 bit then you *would not* be able to run a 64 bit
[01:47] <MichaelBehan> Scunizi, I don't recall that option. Is it offered when installing inside windows?
[01:47] <MichaelBehan> I'm about to try kubuntu
[01:47] <Scunizi> MarkTimTach: try Ctrl+Alt+F2 and see if that dumps you to a command prompt
[01:48] <jags> MarkTimTach, same thing happened to me, I just wiped the disk and reinstalled lucid
[01:48] <MarkTimTach> no it don't
[01:48] <alberto> Can anybody help me with PulseAudio Jack module?
[01:48] <Scunizi> MichaelBehan: ah .. are you using Wubi? to install inside of windows? .. personally I wouldn't.. install Virtualbox in windows and then Ubuntu in that
[01:48] <MichaelBehan> Yes
[01:48] <MarkTimTach> I tryed that
[01:48] <MichaelBehan> Looking up virtualbox
[01:49] <Scunizi> MichaelBehan: virtualbox.org
[01:49] <MichaelBehan> thanks :)
[01:49] <MichaelBehan> I would think the performance would be less with that?
[01:49] <MarkTimTach> when I press any button on the keboard it just makes a really loud beep
[01:49] <MichaelBehan> MarkTimTach, Sounds like your system is locked up
[01:49] <MichaelBehan> Can you start with the failsafe mode?

[01:51] <billybigrigger> peeps[work]: dd

[01:51] <MarkTimTach> What?
[01:51] <MichaelBehan> er sorry
[01:51] <Quintin> peeps[work]: backup in what sense ?
[01:51] <MichaelBehan> I meant Scunizi
[01:51] <MichaelBehan> peeps[work], dd if=/dev/sda of=/myEntireDrive.image
[01:51] <MichaelBehan> ^^ example only
[01:51] <Scunizi> MichaelBehan: it allows you to create virtual machines inside of different OS's
[01:52] <peeps[work]> Quincy, backup so that i could restore my hard drive completely, since I plan on trying something crazy with it
[01:52] <MichaelBehan> Scunizi, Pretty neat.. looks better than vmware
[01:52] <MarkTimTach> I cant even install windows now every thing is black what do I do
[01:52] <MichaelBehan> but still that seems like a big performance hit. I'm trying to get away from windows. I just can't partition this machine because it's a work pc
[01:52] <Scunizi> MichaelBehan: yea.. I used Vmware for several years.. vbox is cleaner, lighter and easier.
[01:53] <ilovefairuz> !info duplicity | peeps[work]
[01:53] <MichaelBehan> So I'm kind of forced to use wubi and install inside windows
[01:53] <scott_ino> +1 for virtualbox ;) just my two cents
[01:53] <Scunizi> MichaelBehan: no. use vbox..
[01:53] <Quintin> peeps[work]: yea, dd would work.  use a boot disk and dd one drive to another ... like... dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb .  or use ghost.  or the linux ghost clone
[01:53] <MichaelBehan> Scunizi, ?
[01:53] <MichaelBehan> Scunizi, Again it seems like running a vm inside windows would be a big performance hit
[01:53] <peeps[work]> hmm, i don't have a spare drive on this laptop, i guess i could dd to a file on a network share
[01:54] <MichaelBehan> And it would be defeating the purpose of trying to get away from windows UI
[01:54] <blakkheim> MichaelBehan: wubi is also a performance hit
[01:54] <rhcp1253> Ah, need help
[01:54] <Quintin> peeps[work]: sure, though that's gonna be slower.  I'd connect a drive with a usb adapter
[01:54] <MichaelBehan> This is a solidstate drive. I'm not as concerned with drive performance hits
[01:54] <Scunizi> MichaelBehan: wubi is kinda like a dual boot but will interfere with windows normal boot loader.. if you can't dual boot with a work machine then don't use wubi..  there really isn't much of a performance hit these days..
[01:54] <rui> hello everybody
[01:54] <eross> helloooooo
[01:54] <blakkheim> MichaelBehan: why can't you do a real install?
[01:54] <peeps[work]> Quintin, i gotta work with what I've got, no usb adapter
[01:55] <MichaelBehan> blakkheim, It's a work laptop and that would make people angry
[01:55] <MichaelBehan> If they found out
[01:55] <billybigrigger> peeps[work]: depending on your network, dd over the network shouldn't be too bad
[01:55] <MichaelBehan> I work for Disney, so...
[01:55] <blakkheim> MichaelBehan: then maybe you shouldn't be installing linux at all on their computers
[01:55] <peeps[work]> i doubt my hard drive throughput can saturate gigabit LAN anyways
[01:55] <eross> heh mickey mouse
[01:55] <Scunizi> MichaelBehan: you can ctrl+f for full screen in vbox .. it'll totally cover the windows ui
[01:55] <billybigrigger> peeps[work]: it can
[01:55] <billybigrigger> peeps[work]: what kind of hard drive? rpms?
[01:56] <MichaelBehan> blakkheim, I'm in a department with a little more freedom
[01:56] <MichaelBehan> I don't think it will be an issue as long as I don't partition the drive.
[01:56] <MichaelBehan> but this is digressing a lot.
[01:57] <rui> please who can helpe me i have ubuntu gnome 10.10 maverick meerkater and every time i try to send my video image to someone its crash and close the skype. Is there anyone to help me
[01:57] <blakkheim> MichaelBehan: do a real install but encrypt the partition, then when you have to return it you can get rid of it and regrow the ntfs partition
[01:57] <Scunizi> MichaelBehan: wubi will change the boot loader to Grub
[01:57] <MichaelBehan> Scunizi, That's fine
[01:57] <Scunizi> MichaelBehan: live usb boot ? :D
[01:57] <MichaelBehan> yep that's an option.
[01:58] <billybigrigger> peeps[work]: either way, dd will use ssh to transfer data, which is the bottleneck i'd be worried about, but still, unless you have a TB or higher drive, it's nothing a bag of popcorn can't handle...
[01:58] <billybigrigger> if it's your only option, it's your only option :P
[01:58] <MichaelBehan> thank you for your help :)
[01:58] <jags> MichaelBehan, just get a cheap sata drive off newegg and swap out the work hd until you need to give it back
[01:58] <MichaelBehan> lol
[01:58] <Scunizi> MichaelBehan: linux boot at home .. ssh in from work and run the desktop
[01:58] <MichaelBehan> This is a sold state machine. Not sure what the connections are like
[01:58] <blakkheim> it's the same SATA connection..
[01:58] <MichaelBehan> Oh cool
[01:59] <MarkTimTach> can someone please help I can not do anything with my pc I was trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 and my screen went black and then it shut off and I could not do anything I cant even go back to windows or install ubuntu 10.04 or anything what do I do
[01:59] <peeps[work]> it's only 64GB drive
[01:59] <blakkheim> MarkTimTach: boot from a live cd and start over
[01:59] <MarkTimTach> I cant I have already tried that nothing works
[02:00] <MichaelBehan> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148443&cm_re=sata_laptop-_-22-148-443-_-Product
[02:00] <rui> please who can helpe me i have ubuntu gnome 10.10 maverick meerkater and every time i try to send my video image to someone its crash and close the skype. Is there anyone to help me
[02:00] <MichaelBehan> that seems so cheap it's scarey
[02:00] <blakkheim> MarkTimTach: maybe a bit more detail than "it doesnt work"
[02:00] <Ken8521> rui: 32 or 64bit?
[02:00] <Scunizi> MarkTimTach: sounds like you might have had a cooincendental hardware failure
[02:00] <peeps[work]> in an ubuntu install, is there an option to keep existing home data if it's not on a different partition?
[02:00] <rui> Ken8521:32
[02:00] <bluedoor_> Why am I unable to log into my DSL router's network? <IP_ADDRESS> should be the address for my router. I have done this before from my exact computer, but now I am having trouble. Any ideas?
[02:01] <MichaelBehan> thanks all! :)
[02:01] <Ken8521> peeps[work]: not to my knowledge.. easiest thing to do, is back your /home up to an external drive.. most /home configs are only around 2-3gigs tops(w/o any personal files) so you might have a thumb drive big enough to back it up
[02:01] <alberto> Can anybody help me with PulseAudio Jack module?
[02:01] <Scunizi> bluedoor_: perhaps using https://<ip> instead of http://<ip>?
[02:01] <nerdy_kid> alberto I had it running
[02:02] <bluedoor_> Scunizi, i'll try, brb
[02:02] <Ken8521> alberto: what exact problem are you having?
[02:02] <scott_ino> peeps[work], that's why people used to put /home on a separate partition and re-mount it whne they upgrade, but since you can do a rolling upgrade now most don't do it
[02:02] <MarkTimTach> ok I was installing Ubuntu 10.10 and my computer screen went black on me and then shut off so I turned it back on I put Ubuntu 10.04 in the cd drive and nothing happened then I tried to go back to windows thinking maybe that would help but nothing happed there eather so know if you press a button on the keyboard it makes a load beeping sound and then my computer shuts off again
[02:04] <peeps[work]> scott_ino, yeah i used to do it, but for some reason i chose not to this time.  i figured i never really needed it... until now
[02:04] <bluedoor_> Scunizi, that didn't make a difference
[02:04] <scott_ino> peeps[work], why can't you simply upgrade, what are you changing?
[02:04] <Scunizi> bluedoor_: you using chromium or FF
[02:04] <MarkTimTach> is there a tech support number I can call I live in the U.S.A
[02:04] <nerdy_kid> alberto if i remember correctly you install the pulseaudio-module-jack and then all you have to do is run a script once you start jack
[02:04] <Ken8521> MarkTimTach: thats strange... so it won't boot any at all?
[02:04] <rui> Ken8521: Can you helpeme
[02:04] <bluedoor_> Scunizi, i've tried w/ both
[02:05] <Ken8521> MarkTimTach: this sounds hardware related, not software related, if it won't do anything
[02:05] <peeps[work]> scott_ino, changing from 32bit to 64bit
[02:05] <MarkTimTach> no it wont boot anything
[02:05] <scott_ino> peeps[work], ahhh that'll do it
[02:05] <Ken8521> rui: sorry, no i cannot... maybe try seeking support from skype.
[02:05] <keith2> could someone tell me the command to upgrade to 10.10 from terminal
[02:05] <Ken8521> MarkTimTach: make/model of the machine?
[02:05] <Scunizi> bluedoor_: that's an unusual address.. typically they are <IP_ADDRESS> or <IP_ADDRESS> for the router.. try the first suggestion
[02:05] <MarkTimTach> I was running ubuntu 10.04 and then i wanted to upgrade it
[02:05] <nerdy_kid> alberto the script: http://pastebin.com/vRFppMwP
[02:05] <rui> Ken8521:ok thank you
[02:05] <Ken8521> rui: because this is really more of an application issue, than an ubuntu issue..
[02:06] <MarkTimTach> it is a Compaq cq60
[02:06] <rui> Ken8521:ok thank you
[02:06] <bluedoor_> Scunizi, neither worked
[02:06] <Scunizi> bluedoor_: what is the address of the machine you're trying from?
[02:06] <FreshPrince> keith2, "sudo apt-get dist-updgrade"
[02:06] <FreshPrince> sry
[02:06] <FreshPrince> keith2, "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
[02:06] <bluedoor_> Scunizi, local address?
[02:06] <keith2> thanks
[02:06] <Ken8521> MarkTimTach: any chance it's hot, and it's not booting due to heat? let it sit and cool for a while, etc?
[02:06] <Scunizi> bluedoor_: yes
[02:06] <Some_Person> I'm installing ubuntu using the alternate text-based installer, and I need to know if I should select yes or no to this prompt: "[?] Configuring checkbox: Default enabled state. Default Enabled"
[02:06] <bluedoor_> Scunizi, inet addr:<IP_ADDRESS>
[02:07] <MarkTimTach> nope it is cool and I had just turned it on
[02:07] <Scunizi> bluedoor_: is that DHCP or static.. did you set it?
[02:07] <RealOpty> when i try to upgrade to 10.10 i get this error "E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages."
[02:07] <bluedoor_> Scunizi, I'm not sure, i don't remember, how can i tell?
[02:07] <aphid> so.. i installed 10.10 via updated on my netbook.  now it boots up, pops up the authentication dialogue.  after I log in I get a pretty abstract desktop and a mouse cursor but no UI or menus
[02:07] <Ken8521> MarkTimTach: that really sounds like a hardware issue to me...
[02:08] <Scunizi> bluedoor_: if you don't know then it's most likely DHCP.. you'd know if you set a static address... do you have a windows machine to test the router with?
[02:08] <bluedoor_> Scunizi, no i don't, just mac and android
[02:08] <Ken8521> can't you log in to the router?  most of the time it's in the router settings whether you're using DHCP or static
[02:08] <bluedoor_> Scunizi, I could try my roommate's comp, i guess
[02:09] <MarkTimTach> is there anything that conanical can do?
[02:09] <Scunizi> bluedoor_: does it work on the android?
[02:09] <Ken8521> MarkTimTach: what would canonical have to do w/ a hardware problem?
[02:09] <Ken8521> MarkTimTach: honestly, i think it was just crappy luck it happened during an upgrade...
[02:09] <MarkTimTach> well after all I was running Ubuntu when it happened
[02:09] <Ken8521> MarkTimTach: to my knowledge, canonical only has paid support.. but the days of Linux ruining hardware are long since past us...
[02:10] <recmajkemi> can you guys tell me where could i find any system monitor that is diplayed on desktop
[02:10] <Ken8521> MarkTimTach: if you're running windows, and it shuts down, and will nto boot at all, and you hit the keys, and it just beeps, and you call Microsoft, what are they going to tell you?
[02:10] <Scunizi> MarkTimTach: that's like saying "I was in the white house when the astroid hit me.. the President is responsible"
[02:10] <bluedoor_> Scunizi, those don't work from android
[02:11] <Ken8521> MarkTimTach: i sympathize w/ your problem.. but you really need to contact Compaq from the sounds of it.. but from the looks of that laptop, i'm guessing it's out of warranty
[02:11] <MarkTimTach> I was not running windows I was running Ubuntu and I never had this problem with windows but then all of a sudden it happens in Ubuntu
[02:11] <Scunizi> bluedoor_: try your roommates win machine.. It might be that the firmware in the modem expects IE or direct X for some ungodly reason.
[02:11] <Ken8521> MarkTimTach: i was making an analogy.. you apparently missed it.
[02:11] <bluedoor_> Scunizi, I've logged into the router from this machine, I haven't made changes to this machine either
[02:11] <Ken8521> MarkTimTach: regardless, id on't see why you think this is ubuntus fault... if you're driving a car, and you crash, is it the dealers fault?
[02:11] <Scunizi> MarkTimTach: have you checked your cabling? monitor etc..
[02:12] <bluedoor_> Scunizi, i'll try WIN
[02:12] <Scunizi> bluedoor_: sounds like the address is changed
[02:12] <MarkTimTach> yes I have
[02:12] <Ken8521> Scunizi: it's a laptop, so i assume he's using the laptop screen
[02:12] <MarkTimTach> I am running Ubuntu on my desktop and nothing has ever happened
[02:12] <Scunizi> Ken8521: which guy are you responding about.. I've been talking to a couple of people.
[02:13] <Ken8521> MarkTimTach: your desktop has likely never had a hardware failure...
[02:13] <Ken8521> Scunizi: MarkTimTach
[02:13] <taomaster> hello i 'm having issue with  the linksys usb network adapter wusb600n. did not have this issue with ubuntu 9.04
[02:13] <MarkTimTach> nope
[02:13] <Ken8521> MarkTimTach: everything you're describing, strongly suggests hardware failure.
[02:13] <Scunizi> Ken8521: ah.. ok.. didn't catch that before.
[02:14] <recmajkemi> how can i make windows title bar to be as one with tray when maximized
[02:14] <recmajkemi> in desktop edition
[02:14] <MarkTimTach> never mind I got it \
[02:14] <Scunizi> MarkTimTach: Ken8521 maybe.. just maybe.. the Fn key and external monitor key
[02:14] <Ken8521> Scunizi: probably.. cuz he jus said he "got it".. which means it was something simple...
[02:14] <kpj_> Has anyone loaded driver for ubuntu using powerline connection?
[02:15] <Ken8521> kpj_: don't those typically hook up to a normal ethernet port?
[02:15] <Scunizi> Ken8521: or he "got" what we were telling him about hardware failure.
[02:15] <alberto> nerdy_kid Sorry
[02:15] <Ken8521> that coudl be to.. ;)
[02:15] <alberto> nerdy_kid I wasn't here
[02:15] <alberto> nerdy_kid Than you very much for everything.
[02:15] <MarkTimTach> it is the monitor that went bad I just plugged a cord into my laptop and connected the other end to my tv and now I can see stuff
[02:15] <Ken8521> MarkTimTach: ok.
[02:15] <nerdy_kid> alberto no prob.  Hope it helps, if you need more info I do have a link somewhere that i used, but i have to dig it up.
[02:15] <Scunizi> MarkTimTach: AH HA.. that's a tough one.. sorry that happened.
[02:15] <MarkTimTach> thanks for your time
[02:15] <kpj_> Ken8582 - It is a port which transmits over the power lines in the house - so a driver is needed
[02:16] <alberto> nerdy_kid Have you got it running on Ubuntu 10.10?
[02:16] <MarkTimTach> where can you go to replace a monitor for the laptops
[02:16] <Ken8521> kpj_: isit a PCI card, or a USB card, or what?
[02:16] <Scunizi> MarkTimTach: just remember that if you can't / don't want to fix the screen, you can always us the machine as a headless server :)
[02:16] <MarkTimTach> lol
[02:17] <Ken8521> kpj_: brb..
[02:17] <MarkTimTach> can I run windows software in ubuntu 10.10
[02:17] <kpj_> I have a standard ethernet card but it requires a separate driver to communicate throught the powerline device
[02:17] <Scunizi> MarkTimTach: mostly screen replacements is more expensive than most machines.
[02:17] <wakeupsticky> the ubuntu .iso file is written up to the first 15 mb and then nti media maker freezes....:\
[02:17] <nerdy_kid> alberto no, that was in 10.04.  should be the same though
[02:17] <alberto> nerdy_kid I got some errors.
[02:18] <nerdy_kid> alberto ok well let me pull the link for you
[02:18] <Scunizi> MarkTimTach: some win software.. like what?
[02:18] <bluedoor_> Scunizi, nothing works from the WIN machine. I have a 2wire router, and the manual suggests the IP to be either http://gateway.2wire.net/ or http://<IP_ADDRESS>/  , is there a way of finding out what the address is?
[02:19] <jexmex> any program to play acc files from audable?
[02:19] <alberto> nerdy_kid Thank you very much, once more.
[02:19] <jexmex> err aax files
[02:19] <wakeupsticky> anyone know if there is a problem with the ubuntu .iso file or with nti mediamaker?
[02:19] <Guest6086> Can someone help me?....  whenever I restart my network manager ALWAYS forgets the networks key so I have to re-enter it every login
[02:19] <Scunizi> bluedoor_: you can use nmap to go through all the IP's on your lan and report what is connected .. from that list you should be able to tell. you'll have to google for nmap instructions though.. I'm not well versed in it.  Some here might be able to direct you though.
[02:20] <nerdy_kid> alberto no problem :)  here is the link, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=843012.  the post is huge so im gonna pastebin the important part
[02:20] <bluedoor_> Scunizi, thank you

[02:23] <chien> hola!
[02:23] <wakeupsticky> is there a ubuntu installation channel?
[02:23] <wakeupsticky> what is wubi.exe?
[02:23] <minimec> Guest6086: delete that connection once in the properties of the network-manager, and then connect again. It should save the password.
[02:24] <Guest6086> minimec: I have tried
[02:24] <minimec> Guest6086: That is strange...
[02:24] <Scunizi> wakeupsticky: if you boot the cd while windows is open then wubi allow for ubuntu install to happen in windows.. Personally I don't recommend it.. boot cold to a properly burned cd and dual boot or use virtualbox.org to create a vm of ubuntu
[02:25] <wakeupsticky> nti mediaplayer is ruining my cds
[02:25] <nerdy_kid> alberto I think that the error is saying "connection refused"?  in that case is jackd running?  i was using qjackctl to control jack btw.
[02:25] <Iszak> I recently completely remove google chrome in attempts to correct a problem which prevented it from loading profiles however as a side effect it no longer shows up in the repo only chromium.
[02:25] <Guest6086> minimec: is it possible there is a problem with my keyring? Anyway to reinstall it?
[02:25] <wakeupsticky> by writing 10% of ubuntu to them and then spitting out an error message
[02:25] <wakeupsticky> WTF
[02:25] <Iszak> Is there any way to get it back into the repo?
[02:25] <HaxXxoR> can anyone help me with a wireless problem

[02:26] <chien> hola tios se acabo la fiesta..?
[02:26] <alberto> nerdy_kid mmm, no, jackd isn't running actually
[02:26] <alberto> nerdy_kid Is qjackctl better?
[02:26] <Ken8521> kpj_: i don't really understand how a PCI card, requires a separate driver to communicate over a power line.
[02:26] <nerdy_kid> alberto qjackctl is a REALLY handy control app for jackd
[02:26] <Ken8521> kpj_: does this ethernet card, have cat5/6 cable connected to it?
[02:27] <minimec> Guest6086: Do you have a password for the keyring? You could set the keyring to run without password, or delete the entry for your network there too.
[02:27] <islandfellow> trying to install ubuntu 10.10 on a laptop with trial version of windows 7 and it hangs every time at the ubuntu logo, any ideas why?
[02:27] <xananax_> Hello; I have issues with my wireless and I am completely new to ubuntu. How would I go about understanding where the problem is?
[02:27] <xananax_> I used ndiswrapper and it tells me everything went fine, but I still cant connect
[02:27] <Ken8521> xananax_: well first what type of wireless device are you using, and what chipset?
[02:27] <alberto> nerdy_kid Oh, I see, that's the one I'm using.
[02:27] <Dr_Willis> islandfellow:  whats your video chipset? Tried teh Nomodeset option? You could alwo try the alternative installer cd.
[02:28] <alberto> nerdy_kid The graphical user interface
[02:28] <DavyCave> ubuntu 10.04 support multi-monitor SLI?
[02:28] <Guest6086> minimec: It doesnt ask me for the password at startup anymore for some reason so it could be that
[02:28] <taomaster> i'm having issues with linksys wireless adapter wusb600n
[02:28] <xananax_> ken8521: I am using an old compaq presario c500; I tried to google it but apparently it's not even on hp's website anymore, so I dunnow what the chipset is
[02:28] <kpj_> ken8521 - It is most likely me, I installed the powerline where my windows system required to load a driver for the ethernet to be able to communicate with the powerline adapter
[02:29] <kpj_> I had assumed that I should do something similar for Ubuntu machine
[02:29] <xananax_> But following the advice in a thread, I loaded up bcmlw5 with ndiswrapper, that I built from source
[02:29] <Ken8521> xananax_: is it an internal wireless device on the machine, or a USB, etc?
[02:29] <xananax_> ken8521: internal
[02:29] <Ken8521> xananax_: ok, so it's a broadcom.. do you know which one?
[02:29] <DavyCave> anyone know the Nvidia / Ubuntu channel?
[02:29] <nerdy_kid> alberto yeah
[02:29] <chien> ddr3...ou 4
[02:29] <Ken8521> xananax_: open a terminal and type "lspci"(no quotes, lower case L) and hit enter, and look through the output, and find yoru wireless device
[02:29] <Dr_Willis> DavyCave:  not sure there is one. You could check the forums.
[02:29] <tonyyarusso> DavyCave: there isn't an nvidia-specific one
[02:29] <HaxXxoR> can anyone help me with a wireless problem
[02:30] <xananax_> ken8521: Yeah according to the thread it is broadcom, but I dunnow how to get more info...How would I go about knowing which one?
[02:30] <DavyCave> im trying to find information on if 10.04 supports multi-monitor SLI mode?
[02:30] <Dr_Willis> DavyCave:  i dont use sli. but multi monitors work good here with my nvidia systems
[02:30] <Ken8521> xananax_: see the info i just sent you
[02:30] <Ken8521> DavyCave: same here..
[02:30] <minimec> Guest6086: I am not a guru when it comes to the keyring. I run it in 'unsave mode' whitout password. So I don't have the keyring questions. It could be that you allowed the keyring to always allow access to the network.
[02:30] <DavyCave> Dr_Willis: yea i use multi monitor now, but i saw nvidia finally enabled multi with SLI so i want it lol
[02:30] <amikrop> Hello. Since I installed the nVidia proprietary driver, my splash image disappeared. How can I fix that?
[02:31] <Guest6086> minimec: know anyone that might be able to assist me better?
[02:31] <nerdy_kid> amikrop by spash image you mean the nice "ubuntu" splash that pops up while the computer is booting?
[02:31] <Dr_Willis> DavyCave:  check the nvidia-settings tool i guess.. SLI with Multi Monitors. seems a bit of a contradiction.. but  I always found sli a thing.. that i never could justify. :)
[02:31] <amikrop> nerdy_kid: yes
[02:31] <islandfellow> @dr_willis not sure of the  chipset, where would I find the alternative installer cd?
[02:32] <Ken8521> !alternate > islandfellow
[02:32] <Dr_Willis> islandfellow:  its at the download sites. YOu could try the Nomode set option also. at the grub menys, you hit the space key, then F6, for other options, enable  the nomode set. then boot.
[02:32] <xananax_> ken8521: sorry sorry I was too busy typing the line passed me by...So as far as i can tell, it tells me it is Broadcom BCM4311
[02:32] <HaxXxoR> Can anyone help me with a wireless issue on netbook edition
[02:32] <DavyCave> Dr_Willis: well i run 2 World of Warcraft's at the same time so if i cant get SLI turned on then my frames will increase cause ill be running 2 windows in 1 desktop vs. 2 games on 2 cards on 2 desktops
[02:32] <Dr_Willis> islandfellow:  for my Nvidia systems I have to use that - or else the systems hang.
[02:32] <amikrop> nerdy_kid: so, any ideas?
[02:32] <nerdy_kid> amikrop yeah I think i might have a link for you one sec, gotta dig it up
[02:33] <amikrop> nerdy_kid: sure
[02:33] <xananax_> ken8521: so I try to locate the drivers for that serie, download those and try again?
[02:33] <minimec> Guest6086: You can try to configure the keyring ->system->preferences->Passwords...
[02:33] <Ken8521> xananax_: PM?
[02:34] <aphid> after I authenticate on 10.10 I get an abstract desktop background with no menu or UI.  i can cntrl-alt-f1 ok, and bring up the shutdown/restart options by hitting my power button.. but that's it
[02:34] <pi3ch> any one ported GNOME Do for windows?
[02:34] <xananax_> ken8521: I mean since the output of lspci tells me BMC4311, I try to download the windoz drivers for that adapter and try with ndis again?
[02:34] <Dr_Willis> pi3ch:  there are similer programs for windows.
[02:34] <islandfellow> thank you @ubottu @ Dr_Willis will try right away
[02:35] <Dr_Willis> pi3ch:  i dont use any of them.
[02:35] <Ken8521> xananax_: no, there's a native way to do it.. first, uninstall ndiswrapper
[02:35] <wakeupsticky> is there an ubuntu installation channel?
[02:35] <pi3ch> I tried Launchy and SlikRun
[02:35] <pi3ch> but GNOME Do is way better
[02:35] <Dr_Willis> pi3ch:  been using Kupfer on ubuntu lately.
[02:36] <pi3ch> btw I m not windows user I just got windows in office so I would like to have Gnome do on it.
[02:36] <pi3ch> Kupfer?
[02:37] <Dr_Willis> !info kupfer
[02:37] <xananax_> ken8521: I removed ndis-utils and ndis-common and ndisgtk using synaptic...But I don know if I should do anything more since I built ndiswrapper from source and it was the first time I tried something like that
[02:37] <wakeupsticky> is there an ubuntu installation channel?
[02:37] <Dr_Willis> wakeupsticky:  not that ive ever seen.
[02:37] <pi3ch> yeah any better than GNOME Do?
[02:37] <Dr_Willis> pi3ch:  try it and decide for yourself. Gnome-do hasent been gettting alot of updates  from what i hear..
[02:38] <Ken8521> xananax_: ok.. is the machine connected to the internet right now
[02:38] <nerdy_kid> amikrop having trouble finding this link sorry, my bookmarks all seem to have vanished...
[02:38] <wakeupsticky> does anyone on here know anything about getting ubuntu on a windows machine?
[02:38] <twinkie_addict> how do i set apt to upgrade to 10.10 from 10.4 in the cli
[02:38] <amikrop> nerdy_kid: hmm, ok...
[02:38] <Dr_Willis> wakeupsticky:  burn the cd.. boot cd.. follow directions...
[02:38] <DavyCave> should i load my Asus M2n-SLI Deluxe chipset drivers from the Asus website or just use what ubuntu likes?
[02:38] <xananax_> ken8521: yeah I am typing from it, ethernet connection
[02:38] <nerdy_kid> amikrop still looking though
[02:39] <Dr_Willis> wakeupsticky:  unless you want to be more clear on the problem
[02:39] <wakeupsticky> burn cd: error error error error
[02:39] <wakeupsticky> impossible
[02:39] <Ken8521> xananax_: in a terminal sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter
[02:39] <Ken8521> after that, restart
[02:39] <Dr_Willis> wakeupsticky:   check the is0/msd5 or make a bootable flash drive.
[02:39] <Chaos2358> hi is there a multi account chat/im client similar to empathy but with voice and cam chat
[02:39] <amikrop> nerdy_kid: alright :)
[02:39] <Dr_Willis> md5 | wakeupsticky
[02:39] <wakeupsticky> "check the iso/msd5" means?
[02:39] <Dr_Willis> !md5 | wakeupsticky
[02:39] <Gnea> Hey everyone, my WUBI isn't doing so good anymore... it was working just fine until it hardlocked 3 times in a row today, then proceeded to drop to the grub> interface at boottime. Booting to winXP told me that \ubuntu\disks\ was corrupted, so I ran chkdsk /r, did the reboot thing, watched it fix a bunch of errors on the c:\ drive, and upon reboot, the \ubuntu\disks\ directory is now *gone*. I have no idea what to do at this point, I fe
[02:40] <wakeupsticky> any way to undo burning a cd? nti mediamaker screwed up all my cd-rws
[02:40] <wakeupsticky> by burning part of ubuntu and then giving me an error message
[02:41] <Jordan_U> Gnea: Your message was cut off at "no idea what to do at this point, I fe".
[02:41] <Gnea> Jordan_U: ah, thanks
[02:41] <Gnea> I have no idea what to do at this point, I fear I have lost an entire OS and many important documents for school...
[02:41] <Dr_Willis> wakeupsticky:  if they are 'rewriteables' you can erase them. You may want to check out some other cd buirning software for windows.
[02:42] <Dr_Willis> !burn
[02:42] <wakeupsticky> how do i know if they're rewriteables? is the rw in cd-rw "rewriteable"?
[02:42] <wakeupsticky> ubottu, that's not helpful
[02:42] <scott_ino> wakeupsticky, yes
[02:42] <Dr_Willis> wakeupsticky:  ubotu is a bot....
[02:42] <wakeupsticky> lol
[02:42] <DavyCave> LOL
[02:43] <scott_ino> good times in here
[02:43] <DavyCave> bot seams pretty smart to me
[02:43] <Dr_Willis> wakeupsticky:  Look at the disk and label.. if they are not 'rewriteable' then they cant be 'undone'
[02:43] <DavyCave> at least it knows its a bot
[02:43] <Dr_Willis> wakeupsticky:  theres always  the make a bootable flash drive option - if you dont have any more blank disks.
[02:43] <twinkie_addict> how do i set apt to upgrade to 10.10 from 10.4 in the cli ?
[02:43] <wakeupsticky> fuck, they are cd-4s
[02:44] <Jordan_U> Gnea: Is there any directory like "check#" in the root of your windows partition?
[02:44] <wakeupsticky> cd-rs
[02:44] <scott_ino> twinkie_addict, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[02:44] <IdleOne> !language | wakeupsticky
[02:44] <Dr_Willis> For burning ISO files in windows - i tend to use Infra Recorder,  Theres many other free iso burning tools ouyt for windows.
[02:44] <twinkie_addict> says no new upgrads
[02:44] <Jordan_U> !upgrade | twinkie_addict
[02:44] <stealth191> SERVER irc.dal.net
[02:44] <DavyCave> well that was annoying
[02:44] <Dr_Willis> wakeupsticky:  you must burn the iso as an Image also.. if you burn it to cd.. then look at the cd.. and see a single .iso file.. you burnt it wrong.
[02:44] <Guest19673> twinkie_addict: i just had that same issue, one sec
[02:44] <Gnea> Jordan_U: no
[02:44] <scott_ino> twinkie_addict, because your software sources are set to only look for LTS releases, you'll need to change this
[02:45] <twinkie_addict> ok
[02:45] <nerdy_kid> amikrop here are some links.  you need to be able to RECOVER YOUR SYSTEM should it not boot after these hacks.  I.E. know how to use a terminal well.
[02:45] <twinkie_addict> thanks
[02:45] <nerdy_kid> amikrop the links http://www.sucka.net/2010/03/nvidia-drivers-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx/           http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1469475
[02:46] <Guest19673> twinkie_addict: yeah, in settings, change under release upgrade to normal releases in update manager
[02:46] <wakeupsticky> ok, looks like i have one good cd left
[02:46] <twinkie_addict> figured it was somthing simple i even tryed do-release-upgrade
[02:46] <nerdy_kid> amikrop http://www.ubuntugeek.com/quick-tipplymouth-themes-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1446132
[02:46] <Dr_Willis> wakeupsticky:  check your md5sum of the iso file first.
[02:46] <Chaos2358> hi is there a multi account chat/im client similar to empathy but with voice and cam chat
[02:46] <nerdy_kid> amikrop I hope those help you, I have to go now
[02:46] <Dr_Willis> wakeupsticky:  when you burn - set the program to burn at the lowest speed it can handle also.
[02:46] <Ken8521> HaxXxoR: what is your wireless device on the netbook?
[02:46] <Ken8521> it's probably a ralink
[02:46] <twinkie_addict> i dont have gui so i'll have to edit the file
[02:47] <Guest19673> twinkie_addict: ahh, nm then
[02:47] <wakeupsticky> recommended burning software? nti mediamaker is what i've been using but so far it hasn't been working
[02:47] <Dr_Willis> wakeupsticky:  imgburn is also good for windows -->  i think it can even check the md5's   http://www.imgburn.com/
[02:47] <h00k> wakeupsticky: Brasero workswell for me
[02:47] <HaxXxoR> hang on 1 sec ken
[02:47] <Dr_Willis> wakeupsticky:  theres plenty of burning tools fo rwidnows :) http://www.thefreecountry.com/utilities/dvdcdburning.shtml
[02:47] <Dr_Willis> !burn
[02:48] <Dr_Willis> wakeupsticky:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto
[02:48] <cwraig> wakeupsticky: 1+ imgburn
[02:48] <Dr_Willis> wakeupsticky:  that reccomends some others.
[02:48] <twinkie_addict> so i edit apt.sourses ?
[02:48] <Jordan_U> Gnea: You could try using "photorec" to recover the wubi .disk file.
[02:48] <HaxXxoR> ok Ken dumb question whats the command in terminal to get system info
[02:48] <cwraig> imgburn is dvd decrypter without the dvd decrytping
[02:48] <Ken8521> HaxXxoR: lspci (lowercase L)
[02:49] <HaxXxoR> its just a intel pro wireless 2200bg
[02:49] <Guest19673> twinkie_addict: honestly not sure, i'll check mine, since i changed it in gui, i'll see if their is anyting usable
[02:49] <Ken8521> HaxXxoR: and that doesn't work out of the box?
[02:49] <Gnea> Jordan_U: was hoping to avoid that .... thanks
[02:49] <HaxXxoR> no i tried installing 10.10 and had to revert it back because of video issues
[02:50] <HaxXxoR> and now i cant connect to my wireless
[02:50] <HaxXxoR> i know the ssid is right and so is the passphrase
[02:50] <HaxXxoR> but it keeps showing up as a red exclamation point
[02:50] <Jordan_U> Gnea: Do you still see the "\ubuntu" directory?
[02:50] <twinkie_addict> thanks i looked at the help site but nut to about editng config file
[02:50] <wakeupsticky> doesn't it seem like useful, non-crippled free software for windows is almost guaranteed to have spyware on it?
[02:51] <KB1JWQ> !ot | wakeupsticky
[02:51] <HaxXxoR> wow just got it
[02:51] <wakeupsticky> sorry
[02:51] <HaxXxoR> for some reason my network list wouldnt update
[02:51] <Chaos2358> hi is there a multi account chat/im client similar to empathy but with voice and cam chat
[02:51] <twinkie_addict> sorry typing is bad pills are kicking they make me a little off for a bit after taking them
[02:51] <Ken8521> HaxXxoR: ok.
[02:52] <minimec> HaxXxoR: You will kill me... ;) Did you suspend or hibernate once? Zhat may deactivate the wireless. You may have to activate it with the hardware button or in the network-manager.
[02:52] <twinkie_addict> i hate presription meds
[02:53] <Guest19673> twinkie_addict: i'm not finding anything in my conf files for changing that

[03:09] <Guest19673> brian_: no idea, thats all it says is missing modules.deb?

[03:13] <Umeaboy> I was wondering.......... I'm not quite happy with the log-file that VirtualBox creates when you start an installation...... Is there any way to take all text from text-mode and put it in a text-file?
[03:13] <pjz> brian_: the prebuilt micro-system image is initrg.img-* and is found in /boot
[03:14] <brian_> pjz: my system seems to be running ok, is this something I need to worry about?
[03:15] <pjz> brian_: if it seems okay, then it's probably fine.

[03:16] <recmajkemi> can anyone try run kradioripper for me in 10.10? mine wont even start

[03:16] <tazmania> ok

[03:17] <james296> I meant in linux, not Windows...
[03:17] <brian_> lynx_2: i was going to try that if this becomes a prob. Can I reinstall with out wiping the system>
[03:17] <pjz> james296: check the System/Preferences/Appearance stuff
[03:18] <james296> that shows nothing about it
[03:18] <pjz> james296: I'm presuming you're using default ubuntu? so gnome?
[03:18] <Lynx_2> brian_: not to my knowledge, but if its running ok, i would just leave it, i was assuming u were doing a fresh install to begin with.
[03:18] <james296> yes
[03:18] <twinkie_addict> i have a habbit of installing one text based irc client and browser just in case x craps on me IF im running x
[03:18] <Lynx_2> some of these other guys might know if u can reupdate a bad update though
[03:19] <BeeBuu> how can i disable all usb devices but storage ?anyone help please.
[03:19] <tazmania> pjz: found the hostapd in /etc/default.  Do I need to add in anything in /etc/network/interfaces for wireless hostapd AP?
[03:19] <pjz> tazmania: no idea :)
[03:20] <tazmania> OK
[03:20] <aphid> after updating to 10.10 using the updater, I now get a blank desktop graphic after authenticating.  no ui, no menu, nothing...
[03:20] <Lynx_2> BeeBuu: as noone has answered you question, i'll be unhelpful ;-) i don't think u can without doing a lot of scripting as the kernal is built to recognize the usb device on connection
[03:21] <BeeBuu> lynx_2:Oh....
[03:21] <pjz> BeeBuu: you maybe can; you'll need to look into how udevd works
[03:21] <Lynx_2> BeeBuu: thats just the nature of usb devices bro... what are u trying to do exactly?
[03:21] <mrandrzejak1> ive been having problems with my system and panels after ctrl+alt+f5. ive got everything working again (i think) but is there any tests i can run on my system to see if all is OK?
[03:22] <twinkie_addict> woot 8 min left on dowload then thigs will start to install :)
[03:22] <Lynx_2> twinkie_addict: yeah its a b*tch, wait till the install
[03:22] <BeeBuu> Lynx_2:actualy,i want my PC just can use disk via USB
[03:22] <twinkie_addict> and ill stall have a cli base to buil up frome to my liking
[03:23] <Lynx_2> BeeBuu: why do you want to disable everyting else, u'll lose keybourd and mouse unless ps2, i was thinking u were doing HTPC (home theatre pc) or something
[03:23] <tortoise7> does ubuntu 10.04 support backlit keyboards?
[03:23] <DavyCave> any OS should totoise
[03:23] <Lynx_2> i'm gonna say yeah
[03:24] <BeeBuu> Lynx_2: something like that.
[03:24] <RealOpty> when i try to upgrade to 10.10 i get this error "E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages." any suggestions?
[03:24] <DavyCave> Tortoise7: all back lit keyboards are just powered by the USB so its not even a OS deal
[03:24] <BeeBuu> Lynx_2: any suggestion?
[03:24] <Lynx_2> BeeBuu: unless its a security issue i wouldn't worry about it then
[03:24] <twinkie_addict> Lynx_2 judging from the 10.4 cli only install should only take about 20 min max and i only hve 370 megs of ram
[03:24] <Lynx_2> just unplug and leave it
[03:25] <BeeBuu> Lynx_2: i don't want the others can conctorl that machine via USB
[03:25] <Lynx_2> twinkie_addict: nice!!!! 1:45 on dual core 2 gig
[03:25] <tortoise7> DavyCave: if that is the case.... how then to enable and disable it?  the former key control (Fn + z) no longer has an effect.
[03:26] <Lynx_2> BeeBuu: lol, i'd go the low end approach then... unplug external usb from mobo, calk to the hard wired mobo connections ;-)\
[03:26] <twinkie_addict> but im not get the entire ubuntu destop crap only conanline stuff then i can install xorg xinit xfce4 and other aps that i want like seamonkey
[03:26] <DavyCave> Tortoise7: did you try it on another computer?
[03:26] <BeeBuu> that's a way,but i need save something to a USB disk
[03:26] <nobarking> what is the lightest desktop environment available for Ubuntu?
[03:27] <Lynx_2> twinkie_addict: nice bro, i might try all cli one day ;-)
[03:27] <Andorin> Hi, my laptop, which runs 10.10, has stopped booting. I updated it this morning. After the BIOS screen I just see a blank black screen with a blinking white cursor. Any thoughts?
[03:27] <twinkie_addict> the nice thing is by doing this way you boot to command line then just run startx :)
[03:28] <Lynx_2> BeeBuu: hmm, could try serial to usb adapter, i think on most bios their is a way to disable usb altogether, atleast their is on mine, then u could still use your usb stick
[03:28] <twinkie_addict> i dont have to run all of x to chat in irc
[03:28] <BeeBuu> Lynx_2: no any easy ways?
[03:29] <twinkie_addict> i got used to cli from slack ware i just dont feel right doing any other way
[03:29] <Lynx_2> BeeBuu: not to my knowledge, but i don't claim to be an expert either, i'm sure their is actually if u're good at coding, its all open source after all, but i don't think their is an easy way... a start is all storage is labeled hdx (hd0 hd1) etc, i would start their
[03:30] <BeeBuu> Thanks, Lynx_2
[03:30] <Lynx_2> Weems: np, good luck
[03:30] <tortoise7> DavyCave: this in on a new toshiba satellite notebook..... came with win7 and a bunch of toshiba s/w..... all components worked as expected.... formatted and made a fresh install of ubuntu... have gotten nearly everything to work Except the backlit function for the keyboard.... thougths?
[03:31] <twinkie_addict> woot done dowloading now upgradeing
[03:32] <Ken8521> tortoise7: i had that problem on my Acer... a long time ago.. any chance it's a Intel graphics device?
[03:32] <tortoise7> Ken8521: nope... all AMD stuff on this unit
[03:33] <mrandrzejak1> ive been having problems with my system and panels after ctrl+alt+f5. ive got everything working again (i think) but is there any tests i can run on my system to see if all is OK?
[03:33] <mamece2> anyone here use Vbox? i try to emulate BT4 and use a wireles usb adapter
[03:33] <Ken8521> tortoise7: hmm, do you know what the graphcis device is?
[03:33] <thuong> w cm how can i read system computer in ubuntu os same as command DXDIAG in MS windows ?
[03:33] <blakkheim> thuong: lshw
[03:33] <blakkheim> mamece2: this isn't a BT channel
[03:33] <hDy> mamece2, could just boot in to it on a live cd..
[03:33] <cipher_> any idea why my server doesn' think it needs to upgrade?
[03:34] <cipher_> it keeps saying there isn't a new release
[03:34] <Lynx_2> are u graphical or cli cipher?
[03:34] <cipher_> cli
[03:34] <mamece2> blakkheim but the issue is related to ubuntu, its the host OS
[03:34] <Lynx_2> talk to twinkie_addict cipher
[03:34] <Lynx_2> he just went through it
[03:34] <twinkie_addict> i can help with i just did it
[03:35] <cipher_> thanks
[03:36] <cipher_> what do i need to do
[03:36] <Lynx_2> its involved.... he's prolly looking
[03:36] <twinkie_addict> cipher check in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrade scroll down to default set it to normal
[03:36] <twinkie_addict> then run do-release-upgrade
[03:36] <tazmania> pjz: doesn't need anything in /etc/network/interfaces.  dnsmasq will take care of the rest like dhcp server etc.  hostapd is up automatically now.  thanks.
[03:36] <cipher_> yea i already looked and it's normal
[03:37] <twinkie_addict> weird it worked perfectly for me
[03:37] <twinkie_addict> i dont know then did you update first ?
[03:38] <cipher_> it's still 10.04
[03:38] <Nolan_Hester> i recently upgraded to 10.10 from 10.04 and the new sound menu applet will not appear in my notification area
[03:38] <cipher_> how do you print the version?
[03:38] <twinkie_addict> my 10.4 system was curent wen i started upgrade
[03:38] <cipher_> i know it's 10.04 because it didn't upgrade the kernel tho
[03:38] <cipher_> i'm still 2.6.32
[03:39] <twinkie_addict> try useing aptitude for some reson apt-get dosent upgrade kernel in 10.4
[03:39] <Lynx_2> have u done all other relevant upgrades to 10.04 before trying to upgrade to 10.10
[03:39] <twinkie_addict> at least not for me
[03:39] <trism> Nolan_Hester: the sound applet is now in the indicator applet (it was in 10.04 too), if that is already in your panel, make sure indicator-sound is installed
[03:39] <mrandrzejak1> is there any programs to restore my system, but not remove any of my apps?
[03:40] <xplo-> Hey, is it possible to install a portable version of ubuntu on a 128G Usb stick ?
[03:40] <xplo-> or on a 320G portable HDD
[03:40] <ubuntu_> hello can someone please tell me how I can install ubuntu in a netbook with only2gigas of hd?
[03:40] <blakkheim> !mini > ubuntu_
[03:40] <Xuzz> !seen LordElph
[03:40] <Xuzz> aww
[03:40] <cipher_> it says i don't need to upgrade anything
[03:40] <cipher_> killin me
 !mini > ubuntu_
[03:40] <xplo> talking to me ?
[03:41] <tortoise7> Ken8521: ati  mobility radeon hd5145 with a Gb of discrete ram.... not sure how this applies to the keyboard backlit problem.
[03:41] <blakkheim> obviously not
[03:41] <xplo> ah ok
[03:41] <Nisstyre65> what's discrete RAM? : |
[03:42] <Lynx_2> cipher_ i would think that its not set to normal releases in relase upgrades. try a reboot, double verify, make sure its not a temp file etc... prolly something stupid
[03:42] <twinkie_addict> i wish i knew i ham haveing great sucess useing the same info i gave you
[03:42] <gbs> hi, there is a unity channel in freenode?
[03:42] <xplo> is there a portable version of ubuntu available?
[03:42] <twinkie_addict> my upgrade is almost done
[03:43] <twinkie_addict> 5 10 min max
[03:43] <Lynx_2> xplo: i've never heard of one
[03:43] <xplo> or any other distro ?
[03:43] <Lynx_2> xplo: yes their are, what are u looking for?
[03:44] <xplo> just something to play around with
[03:44] <cipher_> this is killin me
[03:44] <xplo> i got a new 320G external and a 128G flash key
[03:44] <Lynx_2> xplo: u can play around with ubuntu as a live cd
[03:44] <zebastianortis> let me put it this way, i recently upgroud to 10.10 from 10.04 and now when i plug in the logitech speakers 1 8th jack into the headphone thingy there's no sound, the laptop keeps playing it from its own internal mic, how do i fix this
[03:44] <gr8m8> xplo: you can put the standard ubuntu on a usb stick
[03:44] <xplo> i want it to be portable on my external
[03:44] <Lynx_2> xplo: u can install it in windows even, but its not really portable as i think u're speaking as every computer has different hardware
[03:45] <twinkie_addict> xplo a great distro to play with is slakware
[03:45] <Lynx_2> yup
[03:45] <xplo> gr8m8 seriousely ?
[03:45] <gr8m8> !unetbootin | xplo
[03:45] <Roasted> I created a folder in /var/www that I own and have 7 permissions to. Why is it within that folder if I delete something, it warns me itll be deleted RIGHT away, whereas if I delete something from my home dir, it goes to the trash bin? Just curious on why theres a difference.
[03:45] <Lynx_2> xplo-it doesn't work like that, if u try to boot a linux distro on another computer graphically it will most likely crash
[03:45] <gr8m8> xplo: the second link
[03:45] <xplo> ty gr8m8
[03:45] <zebastianortis> ok problem solved, next
[03:46] <gr8m8> Lynx_2: nope - you can swap hdds between comps no prob
[03:46] <msl> Roasted, is the directory setguid?
[03:46] <Lynx_2> yeah u can, but not a bootable HD, with a totally dif os for another computer
[03:46] <Lynx_2> maybe i misunderstood the question
[03:47] <Roasted> msl, I have no idea what you just asked me...
[03:47] <gr8m8> Lynx_2: if it has its' own bootloader sure you can
[03:47] <virtue> Hello. Does anyone know anything about sound?
[03:47] <xplo> the thing is i want to install a linux environment on my huge external, so i could use it AT THE SAME TIME i use my vista lappy
[03:47] <xplo> possible right ?
[03:47] <Lynx_2> ok, so if i install ubuntu on my HD for my comp, my gfx card, etc etc, and bring my HD to your computer, u're saying their is a way the OS will successfully load?
[03:48] <xplo> but, ubuntu on the portable, and vista in his pc
[03:48] <un214> it should boot
[03:48] <un214> it might boot to command prompt
[03:48] <zebastianortis> on additional drivers, i am on lubuntu 10.10, upgraded from 10.04 and it works smooth, i noticed though, on the additional drivers it mentions broadcom b43 wireless driver and broadcom sta wireless driver and ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver, now, i am connected through the wireless right now and it works fine, screen resolution also seems to work fine so should i leave it and take the not broken don't fix it approach or not?
[03:48] <xplo> but, both at the same time ?
[03:48] <msl> Roasted, or maybe sticky bit
[03:48] <Lynx_2> exactly, i won't load
[03:48] <msl> I mix them up sometimes
[03:48] <gr8m8> xplo: you need a vm to run two os's at the same time
[03:48] <xplo> one says yes, and the other says no
[03:48] <msl> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sticky_bit
[03:48] <xplo> ..
[03:49] <gr8m8> !vbox | xplo
[03:49] <zebastianortis> none of these are activated
[03:49] <Roasted> msl, is this just because /var/www is within the root directory and separated partitioned wise from my home dir?
[03:50] <pjz> augh, it's got to do with the !@#$%^& wifi drivers
[03:50] <jjman6_> I have partition that claims its full (i did a du -h ) but there should be nearly 15Gb free. Trash is empty. i can't figure out why its full reporting its full but its not. It is also being shared via NFS & i was deleting/copying files remotely i think it has to do with this...
[03:51] <RedSingularity> Here is a question.  Why the hell doesnt skype for linux update its news section?
[03:51] <KB1JWQ> jjman6_: Stale file handles, if you deleted something that's a process is hoding open.
[03:51] <grub2sucks> I think I'm having trouble  with grub2.  Can anyone help?
[03:52] <jjman6_> KB1JWQ: how can i clear that out!
[03:52] <bonez2046> grub2sucks: what's it doing or not doing?
[03:52] <virtue> Think anyone can explain to me why my mp3s I play are all sped up in any player?
[03:52] <spidy> os[Linux 2.6.32-25-generic-pae i686] distro[Ubuntu "lucid" 10.04] cpu[8 x Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU         860  @ 2.80GHz (GenuineIntel) @ 1.20GHz] mem[Physical: 7.8GB, 95.6% free] disk[Total: 1.4TB, 92.9% free] video[10de:05ea] sound[HDA-Intel - HDA Intel]
[03:52] <spidy> yo
[03:52] <spidy> :)
[03:52] <KB1JWQ> jjman6_: Figure out what's being held open via LSOF? :-)
[03:52] <FloodBot1> spidy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:52] <Flynsarmy> Anyone here running pidgin? Notice the taskbar doesn't blink on default maverick theme?
[03:53] <twinkie_addict> need to reboot bb
[03:53] <bonez2046> Flynsarmy: I used to use pidgin.. now I run bitlbee on localhost.. and it works great...
[03:53] <Flynsarmy> bonez2046: that was completely unhelpful :) haha
[03:53] <Andorin> Flynsarmy: I don't recall the panel icon for Pidgin ever blinking
[03:53] <msl> Roasted, Being in a different part of the directory tree shouldn't be an issue.  Likely the perms on the directory are causing this (I think).
[03:54] <Flynsarmy> Andorin: it blinks bright orange on unread messages the way the windows one does
[03:54] <bonez2046> Flynsarmy: I never claimed that I was being HELPFUL.. just sharing my thought on the issue
[03:54] <msl> stat /var/www | grep Access
[03:55] <virtue> Think anyone can explain to me why the mp3s I play are all sped up in any player?
[03:55] <KB1JWQ> Crap encoding, virtue?
[03:55] <Flynsarmy> If your FTP/SFTP transfer times out and just sits on 'preparing' and never goes away, whats the best way to remove it? Why doesn't it ever time out and go away on its own?
[03:55] <Andorin> Flynsarmy: What mine does is change the green circle to a yellow smiley-face... which is what it was doing in Lucid as well, and at least Karmic if I recall
[03:55] <virtue> KB1JWQ: Youtube too. Any Mp3/music file.
[03:56] <Flynsarmy> Andorin: oh, not up there, i mean in the window list at the bottom
[03:56] <virtue> and any*
[03:56] <Andorin> Flynsarmy: Oh, I see what you mean
[03:56] <grub2sucks> I just downloaded 10.10, and rather than upgrade again, I formatted via the live cd and did a new install.  Now instead of showing the grub menu, the word "GRUB" appears and my computer hangs.  What did I do wrong?
[03:56] <Andorin> Flynsarmy: Yep, you're right, the text just bolds, no blinking.
[03:57] <Flynsarmy> Andorin: hmm. I'm wondering if its a bug with pidgin or if none down there can blink in any app anymore - bug with maverick maybe?
[03:57] <mgmuscari> does anyone have ideas why a tap interface wouldn't be responding to arp requests?
[03:57] <wakeupsticky> so i got the .iso burned to a cd and booted from it. ubuntu took like 10 minutes (literally) to load and when it loaded, it started the file manager over and over creating an infinite loop (the taskbar was full of "Starting file manager" windows which kept popping up
[03:57] <twinkie_addict> well i rebooted ok :)
