[20:54] <scunizi> T`: it's hard to tell where the problem lies.. in the xubuntu loader or in the video driver section or someplace else.. you can ctrl+alt+F2 to get to a TTY and login.. from there you can sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop .. then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start .. with xubuntu it might be xdm like kubuntu is kdm
[20:55] <mdg> anybody here using the text expander autokey?
[20:55] <mralexandro> how to edit xorg.conf
[20:55] <mralexandro> is it sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[20:56] <thelaugh2ngmime> dose anyone know how i can access a .bundle file?
[20:56] <scunizi> mralexandro: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[20:56] <mralexandro> scunizi, thanks:D
[20:56] <Ruby> Hey I was updating a computer with ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04, and my sister had to use it, and after she got back on I used it, noticed volume was screwy, asked if she closed out the updator, and she said it closed itself out so I rebooted the PC
[20:56] <Ruby> Turns out it switched workspaces
[20:57] <Ruby> Is there anything I can do to recover the data or repair my installation?
[20:57] <wapko> Ruby: first of all. go kick your sister in the knee :P
[20:57] <Ruby> Been done
[20:57] <HF_DarkSystems> I do dat all the time.. >.>
[20:58] <mdg> anybody here using the text expander autokey?
[20:58] <Ruby> Anyway could I repair the installation with an ubuntu 9.04 disk?
[20:58] <Ruby> I tried, but when i told it to boot from the CD drive it just booted from the HDD
[20:58] <Ruby> *dvd drive
[20:58] <Ruby> My apologies.
[20:58] <HF_DarkSystems> Go to wikipedia and look up the word ping, you didn't even make it into DOS, Shame on you!
[20:59] <HF_DarkSystems> o.o
[20:59] <slimjimflim> Ruby: your boot loader should have an option for a maintenance shell
[20:59] <Ruby> Yeah it gave some screwed up things and I had it go into the text login
[20:59] <Pirate_Hunter> Ruby, i am certain you can, however, I always do clean installs after backing up my data and you should change boot options in bios
[20:59] <space_cadet> The_Cog, deany scunizi there we go :) perfect raid0 install thx guys
[20:59] <slimjimflim> you probably don't need a cd unless you can't see the bootloader
[20:59] <Ruby> I can
[20:59] <Rugxulo> "make it into DOS" ??? wrong OS ...
[20:59] <slimjimflim> esp. if you can get online
[20:59] <Ruby> I can
[20:59] <Pirate_Hunter> Rugxulo, huh?
[21:00] <slimjimflim> ruby so what's your main issue?
[21:00] <Ruby> Anyway it gave an error and said it was in low graphical mode
[21:00] <Ruby> Nothing works aside from exit to console login
[21:00] <Ruby> And the mouse doesnt work
[21:00] <mdg> anybody here using the text expander autokey?
[21:01] <gbear142751> any last minute suggestions by any hardware fans or people that know ubuntu compatiblity off the top of their heads?  :http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=15250547
[21:01] <Pirate_Hunter> asking about mouse, my keyboard wont work once it is connected via usb I have to use a ps2 adapter how can I fix this (yet it works fine in window)?
[21:02] <slimjimflim> ruby, idk, probably something wrong w/ x
[21:02] <scunizi> Pirate_Hunter: check your bios and see if it's set for a usb keyboard
[21:02] <sebsebseb> Ruby: ok so  things went wrong on an upgrade?
[21:02] <slimjimflim> there should be an error log somewhere, but you'd have to google that
[21:02] <Ruby> Yeah, it rebooted mid installation
[21:02] <slimjimflim> what are you installing?
[21:03] <Ruby> I was installing ubuntu 9.04
[21:03] <thelaugh2ngmime> does anyone know how to use a .bundle file?
[21:03] <slimjimflim> so it never insalled completely?
[21:03] <sebsebseb> Ruby: ok things are messed up
[21:03] <Ruby> Yes
[21:03] <scunizi> upgrading right Ruby?  they should know that
[21:03] <slimjimflim> yes what?
[21:03] <humbolt> how can I create a USB pendrive jaunty installation media?
[21:03] <slimjimflim> yes it did complete?
[21:03] <Ruby> Yes, scun
[21:03] <jussi01> !usb | humbolt
[21:03] <sebsebseb> Ruby: yeah something like this happended before to me, with  whichever version it was
[21:03] <Pirate_Hunter> scunizi, that made me laugh but yeah seriously do you know how many times i mess with the bios not to notice that, still any other suggestions?
[21:03] <Ruby> And seb I realized that when it didnt work
[21:03] <slimjimflim> seb?
[21:03] <Ruby> And no it did not complete
[21:03] <sebsebseb> Ruby: it's  easier to just  get hold of your data from Live CD, and do a clean install
[21:04] <scunizi> Pirate_Hunter: try a different keyboard to see if it's that?
[21:04] <slimjimflim> ruby, so you have no files saved onto ubuntu, so just reinstall
[21:04] <Ruby> I have files saved onto ubuntu
[21:04] <slimjimflim> except this time, don't reboot until it's done
[21:04] <Ruby> I was updating 8.10 to 9.04
[21:04] <slimjimflim> oic
[21:04] <Pirate_Hunter> scunizi, it works in windows on boot through usb but not ubuntu cant be the keyboard, also my other keyboards are all ps2 :(
[21:04] <slimjimflim> then you should just go in w/ the mainenance shell, and ftp all important files to another machine
[21:05] <slimjimflim> then reinstall
[21:05] <Ruby> ah uh, How do I ftp
[21:05] <cjae> anyone know where transmission keeps the original torrent files and is it a different place if its xubuntu?
[21:05] <KB1JWQ> Ruby: man ftp
[21:05] <scunizi> Pirate_Hunter: maybe ubuntu or linux in general just doens't like that keyboard.. what is it?
[21:05] <Ruby> Not tech stupid, but I'm not highly proficient
[21:05] <Halitech> Pirate_Hunter, does anything else work with the USB ports?
[21:05] <slimjimflim> ty KB1JWQ
[21:05] <KB1JWQ> slimjimflim: No worries.
[21:05] <Kangarooo> ok I have some problem.. terminall windows.. 2 of them starting every starttime.. on each startup..
[21:06] <slimjimflim> Ruby: that's ok, just try to read documentation on stuff like ftp
[21:06] <cjae> because usually things like that are under .transmission but I dont see that
[21:06] <slimjimflim> if you're using a machine somewhere else on the wan, you should use scp, Ruby
[21:06] <Pirate_Hunter> Halitech, scunizi, yeah everything else works apparently it just fails if i boot while the keyboard is in the usb otherwise its fine, meh doubt it even knowing its made by labtech
[21:07] <sebsebseb> Ruby: you can also share  files Linux to Linux with Samba, or Linux to Windows
[21:07] <sebsebseb> Ruby: over a LAN
[21:07] <slimjimflim> right
[21:07] <Ruby> Which documentation should I use for checking on ftp, not sure if I should check 9.04 or 8.10
[21:07] <coleys> !grub
[21:07] <KB1JWQ> Ruby: It didn't change any. :)
[21:08] <KB1JWQ> ftp's likely older than you are, Ruby
[21:08] <slimjimflim> Ruby: you already have an ftp client installed
[21:08] <scunizi> Pirate_Hunter: do you have other usb items plugged in .. if so remove all usb devices including hubs and try again
[21:08] <slimjimflim> Ruby: just log into a shell and type "man ftp"
[21:08] <Pirate_Hunter> Ruby, if you dual boot pop you live cd and send the data you need to your other partition should be the same as copy and paste, which is the simplest method otherwise reinstall everything 9.04 has an option not to delete current data "at least im sure it does"
[21:08] <sebsebseb> !samba |  Ruby
[21:08] <slimjimflim> the command name for the client is just "ftp"
[21:09] <slimjimflim> anybody familiar w/ pulseaudio?
[21:09] <slimjimflim> runnin xubuntu intrepid amd64 64-bit
[21:09] <Ruby> Hm
[21:10] <Ruby> I got it to go to normal graphical mode
[21:10] <Ruby> except when it logs in it displays a blank screen
[21:10] <Ruby> And the mouse appears to be working
[21:10] <sebsebseb> Ruby: maybe a xorg fix will do it
[21:10] <sebsebseb> Ruby: in recovery mode from the bootloader
[21:10] <slimjimflim> when i start or stop pulseaudio it sometimes restores the sound...sometimes when i kill pulseaudio
[21:11] <Ruby> How do I go into recovery mode
[21:11] <Ruby> Or do you just mean the boot menu
[21:11] <Ruby> Like telling it to boot from the CD drive and such
[21:11] <sebsebseb> Ruby: yes the Grub boot loader,  there should also be an option for recovery mode
[21:11] <rohan> is there any PPA which provides updated versions of ntfs-3g for ubuntu 8.04?
[21:11] <rohan> ppa, or any other source for updated ntfs-3g
[21:11] <icewaterman> are there updated radeon drivers for jaunty?
[21:11] <Ruby> It displays text about GRUB loading the HDD and then goes to the login screen
[21:12] <sebsebseb> Ruby: you probably only see the boot loader for about 3 seconds yes?
[21:12] <Ruby> Yes
[21:12] <sebsebseb> Ruby: which isn't that much time to change to recovery mode
[21:12] <Ruby> Am I supposed to press something?
[21:12] <scunizi> Ruby: esc
[21:12] <Ruby> Alright
[21:13] <Supersaiyan_IV> the new nv 185.18.14 sure works wonders
[21:13] <Ruby> Which kernel version do I go into recovery mode with or does it matter
[21:13] <sebsebseb> Ruby: the one that is available
[21:13] <Ruby> Theres three
[21:13] <sebsebseb> Ruby: try the latest one you have, if  some issue with that, you can try the other two
[21:13] <Ruby> yeah
[21:13] <Ruby> thats what I was thinking
[21:13] <scunizi> Ruby: if you have several then the first available going from top down
[21:14] <Ruby> Alright
[21:14] <sebsebseb> Ruby: are you dual booting with Windows or?
[21:14] <Ruby> So now what do I do
[21:14] <rom1v> can someone help me with apt, I have a dependencies problem
[21:14] <Ruby> No its actually my mothers laptop, you see
[21:14] <rom1v> here is the problem : http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=329923
[21:14] <sebsebseb> Ruby: Ubuntu only on it?
[21:14] <Ruby> Yep
[21:14] <Ruby> Anyway
[21:14] <sebsebseb> Ruby: ok  well if your lucky,  it's simple and xorg just needs fixing
[21:14] <Ruby> When I was in the text display I ran dpkg
[21:15] <sebsebseb> Ruby: if not your going to need to use the Live CD, to then move your data some where else
[21:15] <rom1v> dpkg : handle error linux-image-2.6.28-13-generic (--configure)…
[21:15] <Ruby> It seems to of fixed some stuff
[21:15] <kitty_> ok, still not getting my powerpc box up and running, need help with getting daemons to run from /etc/init.d
[21:15] <Ruby> Alright so how do I fix xorg
[21:15] <Ruby> I'm at the recovery menu
[21:15] <sebsebseb> Ruby: when you go into recovery mode from the boot loader, there should be a few options, one should be xfix
[21:15] <Ruby> Alright
[21:16] <Ruby> Said that xserver-xorg is broken or not fully intialized and then went back
[21:16] <sebsebseb> Ruby: can't do xfix?
[21:16] <Ruby> Evidently
[21:16] <rohan_> is there any way to get latest ntfs-3g packages on ubuntu 8.04?
[21:16] <meglo> I downloaded Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop edition, but wasn't able to find an option to enable /home directory encryption during installation. I hear when starting the install from the ISO I should add --encrypt-home to the boot command in order for the checkmark box to appear?
[21:16] <sebsebseb> Ruby: did it come up with the options or not?
[21:17] <th0r> kitty_: they don't run from init.d, the scripts reside in init.d but are run by links in rc0.d, rc1.d, etc. depending on what run level you are executing
[21:17] <kitty_> Flannel, you there?
[21:17] <Ruby> No options it just said xserver was broken or couldnt be intialized
[21:17] <ponpulla> how to join irc specific channel
[21:17] <sebsebseb> Ruby: ok try the other two kernels, but your probably not going to have much luck with those either
[21:17] <sebsebseb> ponpulla: /join  #channelname
[21:17] <kitty_> ok th0r, so when i run one it returns "Warning: Fake start-stop-daemon called, doing nothing.
[21:17] <kitty_> "
[21:18] <ponpulla> alright what do i there
[21:18] <SeaPhor> ponpulla, what client you use? if xchat then in the first screen, "edit"
[21:18] <Ruby> Well in the event that I do have to reinstall what do I do, just ftp?
[21:18] <Patrickaaaa> y
[21:18] <Patrickaaaa> hey
[21:18] <Patrickaaaa> how do i delete a file
[21:18] <sebsebseb> Ruby: By the way if I was you, and had known a few things,  I would have stuck  with 8.10 on there, untill  9.10 was released,  then clean installed that
[21:18] <Patrickaaaa> i have a file on my desktop that i want to delete but when i right click i get denied
[21:19] <Ruby> You told me this already
[21:19] <ponpulla> x chat
[21:19] <Patrickaaaa> how do i do this with the terminal
[21:19] <ArchLinux_Sucks> Hi, I have a newbie question, what is the best speed to burn a iso to make livecd of ubuntu?
[21:19] <sebsebseb> Ruby: well yeah something like it, but I never got a reply
[21:19] <Ruby> Broken or not fully installed
[21:19] <Kjell> Patrickaaaa: rm is the command
[21:19] <kitty_> rm /path/to/filename.ext
[21:19] <Ruby> dsfsdgs
[21:19] <Patrickaaaa> kind sir, thank you
[21:19] <scunizi> ArchLinux_Sucks: as slow as possible
[21:19] <ArchLinux_Sucks> scunizi: thank you, that is what i thought. may i ask why?
[21:20] <Kjell> Patrickaaaa: If it is a directory remember to have the -r flag
[21:20] <th0r> kitty_: sounds like you have a dummy script. Check the contents of the script you are trying to run (open a terminal and type 'less /etc/init.d/scriptname' and see if it really contains code
[21:20] <th0r> kitty_: it might also be that the script you are trying to execute is trying to call another script that isn't there...or is a dummy file
[21:20] <SeaPhor> ponpulla, then in the first screen, before "connect", "edit" and add to channels to join
[21:20] <CleanLaundry> how hard would it be to use the wireless driver I am using right now with Ubuntu 9.04, and get it to work with nUbuntu?
[21:20] <scunizi> ArchLinux_Sucks: just seems to work best that way.
[21:20] <Ruby> Yeah they all don't work
[21:20] <ArchLinux_Sucks> ok
[21:20] <kitty_> want me to pastebin one of the scripts, cause they look pretty normal to me
[21:20] <sebsebseb> Ruby: after all this, 9.04 probably realy won't feel worth it,  once your set up with it.   anyway any luck with the other kernels?
[21:20] <Patrickaaaa> yes its a directory
[21:20] <scunizi> ArchLinux_Sucks: less chance of errors
[21:21] <nlko> hi, what do i need to install to get flash movies playing in firefox?
[21:21]  * ArchLinux_Sucks wonders why they even have speeds of 54x on burning software.
[21:21] <sebsebseb> Ruby: ok at times like this having an external hard disk, comes in useful
[21:21] <sebsebseb> Ruby: got one you can move data to?
[21:21] <znag> anyone else having playback problems with flash in fullscreen? i have tried flashplugin-installer and the package from the adobe webiste, in bitch cases the performance is terrible
[21:21] <Ruby> Nope
[21:21] <Ruby> Could a flash drive work
[21:21] <Patrickaaaa> kind sir thank you for the help
[21:21] <sebsebseb> Ruby: depends on what data you have, and how big the flash drive is
[21:22] <Ruby> 8 gb, its just some music of my mothers and her bookmarks
[21:22] <Patrickaaaa> whats up sebsebseb
[21:22] <Kjell> znag: Is you using 64 bit system?
[21:22] <Patrickaaaa> its me
[21:22] <Patrickaaaa> PAT PAT
[21:22] <sebsebseb> Patrickaaaa: oh
[21:22] <Patrickaaaa> what you mean oh
[21:22] <Ruby> Let me try reinstalling xserver
[21:22] <Patrickaaaa> you not happy to see my ...why
[21:22] <sebsebseb> Patrickaaaa: as in I sort of remember you
[21:23] <Patrickaaaa> oh
[21:23] <Patrickaaaa> im the one with backtrack 4
[21:23] <sebsebseb> Ruby: yes that's worth a try in the root shell in recovery mode
[21:23] <Ruby> It is still connected to the internet
[21:23] <deany> znag, tell me about it.
[21:23] <Ruby> Running dpkg right now
[21:23] <riki> hello) i'm trying to install ubuntu9.04 alternate in my new pc which already have 2 harddisk in raid0 and win7 installed on it... I've read many guides and tutorials about raid 0 and dual boot bla bla bla but I am really stuck+ bit bored of formatting / reinstall everything all the time.... anyone can take care of me ?
[21:23] <hvgotcodes> which software allows me to use my laptop camera?
[21:23] <lupine_85> hvgotcodes: kaffeine does a nice job of it; vlc too
[21:23] <sebsebseb> hvgotcodes: cheese configures them
[21:24] <sebsebseb> !webcam |  hvgotcodes
[21:24] <deany> znag, same here.  flash fullscreen in windows is no problem, in ubuntu its useless
[21:24] <hvgotcodes> no default software?
[21:24] <Patrickaaaa> riki,  whats so how about that?
[21:24] <hvgotcodes> sebsebseb, thanx
[21:24] <sebsebseb> hvgotcodes: I guess not as such, but  AMSN  has web cam support
[21:24] <Patrickaaaa> isn't it basically the same thing as installing another other OS ? or does it work different since you have a RAID)
[21:24] <riki> how can I explain...all my installs have failed so far :|
[21:24] <Patrickaaaa> RAID0
[21:25] <Pirate_Hunter> sebsebseb, have they installed voice support in AMSN yet?
[21:25] <Ruby> Trying apt-get upgrade --fix-missing
[21:25] <Patrickaaaa> when you installed ...did you let linux partition the disk for you
[21:25] <sebsebseb> Pirate_Hunter: not  that I know of,   but  all of those programs are getting there  for features
[21:25] <Patrickaaaa> or did you manually choose to partition it
[21:25] <sebsebseb> Pirate_Hunter: the  next  Kmess should be pretty good for example
[21:26] <riki> I tried installing win7 first and leaving space for ubuntu to partition : fail...i tried installing ubuntu alternate and make the partitions for it and leaving space for win7 : failed
[21:26] <sebsebseb> riki: why Win7?
[21:26] <Patrickaaaa> you have two HDD right?
[21:26] <thelaugh2ngmime> I am having trouble installing a software thats compressed in a .rpm .. I can open it with KPackage and i am given the option to install it. but when i try to install in i get an error message.. I just downloaded the .rpm form the vendor's site. I dont think that there is anything wrong with the file i think that i am doing something worng... can anyone help?
[21:26] <riki> yes 2 hdd 500MB each in raid0
[21:26] <riki> 500gb*
[21:26] <Patrickaaaa> How many GB of space do you have left to spare?
[21:26] <Pirate_Hunter> sebsebseb, ok well I'll wait till the svn ,moves from alpha testing to beta at least on the voice calling feature and kmess sounds like a mess (sorry couldnt resist)
[21:26] <sebsebseb> thelaugh2ngmime: ok RPM and Ubuntu hmm
[21:26] <riki> i would like to put 70gb win7 300 gb for ubuntus
[21:27] <Pirate_Hunter> !kmess > Pirate_Hunter
[21:27] <riki> 700*GB win7 300 ubuntu
[21:27] <Patrickaaaa> oh jesus that is alot
[21:27] <sebsebseb> thelaugh2ngmime: now there's alien, some  say it's  good and all, others say it's dangours as you will see now
[21:27] <sebsebseb> !alien |  thelaugh2ngmime
[21:27] <Pirate_Hunter> !info kmess > Pirate_Hunter
[21:27] <topjoe> does someone know where the passwords for wlan connections are stored in ubuntu?
[21:27] <scunizi> Pirate_Hunter: check this out about amsn http://amsn.sourceforge.net/wiki/tiki-index.php?page=Audio+and+Video+support+status
[21:27] <riki> I've tried also fakeraid howto guide without any positive result
[21:27] <Patrickaaaa> do you have a regular window xp cd
[21:27] <thelaugh2ngmime> ok. thank
[21:27] <sebsebseb> thelaugh2ngmime: RPM's on Ubuntu is a bit hmm,  just like Deb's on  Redhat  or Fedora would be a bit hmm
[21:28] <thelaugh2ngmime> let me ask you this then... how can i get vmware installed on my system
[21:28] <Kjell> exit
[21:28] <sebsebseb> thelaugh2ngmime: How about Virtualbox instead?
[21:28] <Mnemonic^> Does anyone know how to check a disk for errors? I very often have truble at boot time, and have to run fsck.ext3 on the disk, and I am wondering if my disk i broken?
[21:28] <thelaugh2ngmime> will it run Vmware machines?
[21:28] <Patrickaaaa> ok does it really matter if you have raid0? or are you just finding it difficult to install ubuntu
[21:28] <sebsebseb> thelaugh2ngmime: If you want a RPM distro in a virtual machine,  I highly recommend Fedora 11 :)
[21:28] <scunizi> thelaugh2ngmime: yes vbox will run vmware machines
[21:29] <thelaugh2ngmime> oooo... scunizi.. thanks
[21:29] <sebsebseb> thelaugh2ngmime: yep  Virtualbox can run vmdk files, without needing a stupid vmx file also :)
[21:29] <scunizi> thelaugh2ngmime: check their doc out for specific info.. also #vbox
[21:29] <Ruby> you know
[21:29] <Ruby> and I thought today was going to be one that I would spend playing prototype and chugging coca cola
[21:30] <riki> yes raid0 matters ... i think i would be able to install in a normal 2xhard disks but thats not what i want
[21:30] <riki> :D
[21:30] <syslq78> How can I disable automounting of partitions in ubuntu to /media, it's not in fstab
[21:30] <Patrickaaaa> oh  i c
[21:30] <Mnemonic^> How can I determine if my disk is broken or will break soon?
[21:30] <thelaugh2ngmime> will it run vmware machines that have been converted from .tib files ? (.tib = acrnois images)
[21:30] <Patrickaaaa> then i can't help you
[21:30] <sebsebseb> Ruby: oh,  well   it's a bit annoying, but  this is good for learning,  make sure you don't just leave it  doing an update
[21:31] <Pirate_Hunter> Ruby, with linux it is never that simple especially when updating fails and right now im extremely bored waiting for 20GB to be transfered
[21:31] <sebsebseb> Ruby: so someone else dosn't come on and yeah
[21:31] <Patrickaaaa> another question why did you decide to go with RAID0?
[21:31] <scunizi> thelaugh2ngmime: ask in #vbox
[21:31] <riki> yeah, speed
[21:31] <Patrickaaaa> did you do that to be able to read quicker?
[21:31] <thelaugh2ngmime> ok thanks
[21:31] <Patrickaaaa> oh gotcha
[21:31] <riki> just for speed
[21:31] <Patrickaaaa> I understand
[21:31] <odonata> whats recommended software raid in ubuntu?
[21:31] <sebsebseb> Ruby: also  you might have some programs installed,  that want you to do something when your upgrading everything
[21:32] <Patrickaaaa> I know that raid0 does not provide a fault tolerant but can you tell me exactly how it works i forgot
[21:32] <Patrickaaaa> i just want to refresh my memory
[21:32] <sebsebseb> Ruby: anyway 8GB  USB stick,  so sure   get hold of the data put it on there, and move to another computer or something
[21:32] <riki> ok if everyone can give me an hand with installing ubuntu in raid0 with win7 please pm me i'll leave irc open in background---thanks in advance
[21:33] <Ruby> I think its repairable
[21:33] <Ruby> I'm not going to give up hope yet
[21:33] <kitty_> th0r, you there ?
[21:33] <Pirate_Hunter> riki, what ever tutorial i read a long time ago which the link ahs been lost with the other hds which i have destroyed ubuntu implementation of raid takes a total different spin on install, I think you might have to do a fresh install of it implementing ubuntu method of raid (still not too sure of it, things have changed since 5 years back)
[21:33] <sebsebseb> Ruby: I been there before
[21:33] <j0ve> kitty_: so long as this wifi holds <smile>
[21:33] <Ruby> But, I'm not going to refuse to accept the inevitable
[21:33] <kitty_> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/210601/
[21:34] <sebsebseb> Ruby: I ended up doing  some weird thing,  someone helped,  and in the end  it was just better to clean install
[21:34] <sebsebseb> Ruby: I could have just clean installed  basically, but I wanted to learn something so
[21:34] <riki> Pirate_Hunter I tried that.... not worked (but maybe i broke something during partitioning since my skills )
[21:34] <Ruby> I'm at least going to try to repair it to a state where I can use the graphical interface to navigate all the stuff onto my USB
[21:34] <sebsebseb> Ruby: sometimes it's best to just clean install,   espesailly after a failed upgrade
[21:34] <sebsebseb> Ruby: no you  go on the Live CD
[21:35] <kitty_> so they look pretty similar to me
[21:35] <sebsebseb> Ruby: access your partition,  and put data on the USB like that
[21:35] <stroyan> rom1v: I wonder if your nvidia-common problem matches https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-common/+bug/292606  comments there suggest purging nvidia-common and reinstalling it.  I saw something similar in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292606 .  But that involved dkms message and a dkms defect that I made a patch for.
[21:35] <Ruby> Ah
[21:35] <j0ve> kitty_: I don't see anywhere in that script that would generatte that error message
[21:35] <Pirate_Hunter> riki, ok still it could be the IDE that is not being detected still i aint certain since i dont mess with raid so far haven't had the need to use it
[21:35] <CleanLaundry> is it possible to take the drivers used for Ubuntu 9.04 and load them into nUbuntu?
[21:35] <Ruby> Ah crap
[21:36] <sebsebseb> Ruby: try not to swear here,  and  I  guess you didn't download a Live CD and that's why you put that?
[21:36] <j0ve> kitty_: does dmesg give you any indication of what went wrong?
[21:36] <kitty_> yeah well i have no clue what i'm doing wrong, thats the diff between the mac's init.d folder and this computer's
[21:36] <kitty_> nope
[21:36] <kitty_> lemme see if i can get the dmesg
[21:36] <Ruby> No its the fact that I have the ISOs but I cant find any DVDs
[21:37] <Ruby> Just my luck, ha-ha
[21:37] <sebsebseb> !instal |  Ruby
[21:37] <Ruby> !install
[21:37] <sebsebseb> !install |  Ruby
[21:38] <j0ve> kitty_: another possibility, open a terminal and type 'tail -f /var/log/messages' then open another terminal and try the init.d script
[21:39] <kitty_> http://pastebin.com/f581fedaa
[21:40] <kitty_> j0ve, i didn't get any output from tail
[21:42] <cube> how do you configure mutt? so its connected to a server?
[21:42] <Glowball> Hi
[21:42] <kitty_> j0ve, http://pastebin.com/m546860d5 http://pastebin.com/f581fedaa
[21:42] <Glowball> My devices disappeared from /dev/snd...
[21:42] <j0ve> kitty_: is this for a mac?
[21:42] <Glowball> Rebooting in recovery mode didn't help
[21:42] <kitty_> yes
[21:42] <Ruby> great
[21:42] <sebsebseb> Ruby: I think you can make a bootable USB stick,  whilst also  having room for your data
[21:42] <Ruby> I cant find my flash drive
[21:43] <Ruby> Cant find mine
[21:43] <Ruby> did find some DVDs
[21:43] <Dr_Willis> Is it under the couch?
[21:43] <kitty_> everything works, if you can run it manually...
[21:43] <sebsebseb> Ruby: well that's a start
[21:43] <sebsebseb> Ruby: only one CD/DVD drive in there though right?
[21:44] <Ruby> Yup
[21:44] <Ruby> its a laptop
[21:44] <sebsebseb> Ruby: your on some other computer now I assume?
[21:44] <Ruby> Yes
[21:44] <sebsebseb> Ruby: Ubuntu or Windows?
[21:44] <Ruby> Window
[21:44] <Ruby> s
[21:44] <Ruby> And ubuntu on another HDD
[21:44] <sebsebseb> Ruby: ok and they are all connected to same connection with a router right?
[21:44] <shortliner> can anyone offer assistance on getting an nvidia geforce mx 400 driver to install?
[21:44] <Ruby> yes
[21:45] <guntbert> !enter | Ruby
[21:45] <sebsebseb> Ruby: you can network stuff over then
[21:45] <slimjimflim> nooooz, my audio is still broken
[21:45] <slimjimflim> pulseaudio failed
[21:45] <SeaPhor> shortliner, why are you trying to install a drive?
[21:45] <slimjimflim> how can i revert to alsa?
[21:45] <SeaPhor> shortliner, *driver
[21:45] <shortliner> so I can use the tvout function.
[21:46] <Glowball> My sound devices disappeared from /dev/snd. How can I get them back? :$
[21:46] <Ruby> so ah
[21:46] <Ruby> how would I do that
[21:46] <j0ve> kitty_: I don't follow...one of these says you are trying to restart ssh, and the script sets up audio and a bunch of other stuff
[21:46] <jetblast> hi guys.  i cant get my mp3's to play.  not sure whats wrong.  the sound tests are good but i cannot hear my mp3's.
[21:46] <adi_> hi, anyone has idea why i can't hear the radio on audacious when activating the eq?
[21:46] <SeaPhor> shortliner, is there no driver in the restricted drivers?
[21:46] <MHz128> How can I disable or remove the default window animations for gnome? ie. the black window frame for minimizing windows
[21:46] <guntbert> !who | Ruby
[21:47] <shortliner> no, it doesnt show up.  added nv nvidia_new to the restricted modules and rebooted.
[21:47] <sebsebseb> guntbert: well I can see what she is saying anyway
[21:47] <kitty_> i did a diff from one computer to the other, to show that the files were not that entirely different
[21:47] <shortliner> I have tried running the nvidia configuration script.
[21:47] <kitty_> i did a diff of the entire init.d folder
[21:47] <kitty_> and pastebin'd the results
[21:47] <sebsebseb> Ruby: yeah if you type  the first few letters of someones name and then hit tab, you can auto complete.  also if you use someones names in IRC, their clients usually high light the message
[21:47] <jetblast> sebsebseb
[21:47] <jetblast> :D
[21:48] <sebsebseb> Ruby: need to do enough letters for a unique  name normalley though
[21:48] <omr> hello , how can i add Gnome Shell on Ubuntu 9.04
[21:48] <omr>  ?
[21:48] <shortliner> I installed kernel headers, essential build, etc.
[21:48] <SeaPhor> shortliner, did you do sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings  ?
[21:48] <n0gearII> how do i update manually using CLI?
[21:48] <sebsebseb> jetblast: what?
[21:48] <j0ve> kitty_: are you trying to restart sshd?
[21:48] <kitty_> i did yes
[21:48] <sebsebseb> !samba |  Ruby
[21:48] <jetblast> sebsebseb: nothing. just saying your name
[21:48] <adi_> hi, anyone has idea why i can't hear the radio on audacious when activating the eq?
[21:49] <Patrickaaaa> hey guys i have a question
[21:49] <guntbert> sebsebseb: yes,... *you* can *now* :-), but I didn't want to interfere with your conversation - so apologies
[21:49] <sebsebseb> Ruby: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba
[21:49] <Patrickaaaa> why can't i cut and paste?
[21:49] <j0ve> kitty_: it looks like you got sshd restarted, I think that error message is a warning, not a failure
[21:49] <Patrickaaaa> I'm doing everything right i belive
[21:49] <shortliner> seaphor, yes, I did that too.
[21:49] <Dr_Willis> Patrickaaaa:  cut and paste where/when?
[21:49] <sebsebseb> right whatever jetblast
[21:49] <jetblast> i need someones help though.  i cant get my mp3's to play.  i run sound tests and the tests are good.  i dont even hear the startup sound when ubuntu comes up
[21:49] <kitty_> ok which one do you want me to start ?
[21:49] <omr>  hello , how can i add Gnome Shell on Ubuntu 9.04 ??
[21:49] <kitty_> busd or hald ?
[21:49] <kitty_> they all give the same error
[21:49] <SeaPhor> shortliner, did you do sudo nvidia-settings ?
[21:49] <Patrickaaaa> cat network.txt | grep Host|cut -d " " -f2 > ../host/networkstat.txt
[21:49] <sebsebseb> jetblast: did you install the codecs?
[21:49] <Patrickaaaa> using this command
[21:49] <Patrickaaaa> it says no file exit
[21:49] <guntbert> omr: it should be there already
[21:50] <SeaPhor> shortliner, if so what did that show you?
[21:50] <shortliner> yes when I made the changes, it still did not output to the tv.
[21:50] <omr> how can i active it guntbert ???
[21:50] <sebsebseb> Ruby: it's pretty simple samba,   I could tell you what to do Ubuntu to Windows,  without you needing to read some guide
[21:50] <Patrickaaaa> but im trying to make it create and paste the networkstat.txt
[21:50] <jetblast> sebsebseb: i believe everything is installed. i installed FF7 and tried to run it through WINE and then my sound goes crazy.
[21:50] <j0ve> kitty_: I get it now...you get that no matter what daemon you try to restart?
[21:50] <adi_> wow what a babylon in here!!! :))
[21:50] <guntbert> omr: go to applications/Terminal
[21:50] <omr> then guntbert?
[21:50] <kitty_> yeah
[21:50] <sebsebseb> jetblast: Firefox in Wine why?
[21:50] <Dr_Willis> Patrickaaaa:  build up the command line one part at time.. double check spelling...
[21:50] <jetblast> sebsebseb: final fantasy 7
[21:51] <kitty_> actually apache2 worked, but that was from a fresh install, and i've already tried re-installing ubuntu-desktop to no avail
[21:51] <sebsebseb> jetblast: oh thought you meant Firefox heh
[21:51] <kitty_> so apache2 might just be different
[21:51] <Patrickaaaa> i did everything is right the only thing is that theres actually no networkstat.txt im basically jus trying to create on
[21:51] <sebsebseb> !sound > jetblast
[21:51] <j0ve> kitty_: this might be worth a try....http://dertompson.com/2007/11/29/debian-troubles-with-fake-start-stop-daemon/
[21:51] <guntbert> omr: then the terminal starts, doesn't it?
[21:52] <nadine> why is it that my Sempron Thoroughbred @2Ghz 1Gb of DDR400 geforce 6200 AGP so much quicker running ubuntu studio  8.10 then this atholon x2 4000+ 1Gb ddr2 667 geforce 6150se running 9.04 regular ubuntu?
[21:52] <shortliner> seaphor, after I try to run the nvidia script, it says module build failed.
[21:52] <omr> ya guntbert ?
[21:52] <Patrickaaaa> nevermind Dr willis you were right
[21:52] <Patrickaaaa> i am a newbie shit head
[21:52] <omr> guntbert: ya it's started
[21:52] <Patrickaaaa> its hosts and i type host
[21:52] <Shadowww> nadine, are you sure you are running ubuntu x64?
[21:52] <Dr_Willis> Patrickaaaa:  :) heh heh...
[21:52] <nadine> this box should be faster, but seems to constantly page out
[21:52] <shortliner> seaphor, I deinstalled everything, and am starting fresh.
[21:52] <sebsebseb> !langauge | Patrickaaaa
[21:52] <Patrickaaaa> im sorry for wasting ur time forgive me kind sir
[21:52] <guntbert> omr: ok then?
[21:52] <nadine> Shadoww yes
[21:52] <Ruby> Okay well
[21:53] <shortliner> seaphor, though its not a fresh install
[21:53] <sebsebseb> Ruby: yes?
[21:53] <Ruby> Evidently I don't have any blank DVDs or a flash drive so I'll have to wait
[21:53] <omr> guntbert: i am asking about the shell
[21:53] <kitty_> ok thats just wrong
[21:53] <Ruby> I'll be back
[21:53]  * guntbert is confused, omr
[21:53] <sebsebseb> Ruby: you don't have the old Ubuntu Live CD?
[21:53]  * kitty_ waits for about 3 hours again
[21:53] <Ruby> Nope
[21:53] <Ruby> Its buried somewhere
[21:54] <Ruby> In moving boxes
[21:54] <jgriffin> Hi. How would default ubuntu run on a 1GHz machine with 256 MB RAM?
[21:54] <sebsebseb> Ruby: oh right, well  good luck
[21:54]  * kitty_ hugs j0ve
[21:54] <guntbert> omr: when you start gnome-terminal you get a shell, right?
[21:54] <SeaPhor> shortliner, i would run the built-in drivers and nvidia-settings, and nvidia-xconfigure
[21:54] <Shadowww> jgriffin, it would run fine
[21:54] <kitty_> now maybe i can get my x to work now that hald might actually work
[21:54] <nadine> Shadowww yes, but why would running x64 on  it make it so much slower? I do intend to up it to 4Gb though
[21:54] <shortliner> ill give that a shot.
[21:55] <SeaPhor> shortliner, *nvidia-xconfig
[21:55] <sebsebseb> jgriffin: just about
[21:55] <Shadowww> nadine, it won't make it run slower, only faster
[21:55] <buntunub> how can i get the "User Settings" gui under System > Administration to populate with group and user setting entries
[21:55] <Shadowww> check if you don't have some bloatware running.
[21:55] <buntunub> right now it is empty
[21:55] <sebsebseb> jgriffin: 9.04 on older hardware hmm
[21:55] <k4rt33k> guntbert: yeah you do.
[21:55] <peeps[work]> does anyone know an audio player app that will alow me to play back a stereo audio file in mono?  I have a podcast where the sound keeps moving around from left to right and it drives me nuts
[21:56] <sebsebseb> jgriffin: 8.10 on older hardware hmm.  8.04.2 on older hardware  that should work for sure
[21:56] <sebsebseb> jgriffin: with 256MB RAM
[21:56] <j0ve> peeps[work]: you should be able to fix it using sox
[21:56] <guntbert> k4rt33k: I do what?
[21:56] <k4rt33k> How do I search for a file in my Music folder and play it in mplayer without making a playlist out of it
[21:57] <k4rt33k> guntbert: you get a shell
[21:57] <sebsebseb> jgriffin: however a distro such as Puppy Linux would probably also work much better, since it's designed for old hardware
[21:57] <k4rt33k> I am looking for a command
[21:57] <j0ve> k4rt33k: try 'play'
[21:57] <Dr_Willis> k4rt33k:  use find perhaps...
[21:57] <k4rt33k> I tried piping the search results but it doesn't seem to work
[21:57] <ufd> do you need this for x11
[21:57] <Dr_Willis> mplayer $(find /options/path/name)  (or somthing)
[21:57] <ufd> ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/x11_release
[21:58] <melchmon360> Does anyone know where I could find something that allows me to tab any windows I have open? There is a program for this on mac called "sticky windows"
[21:58] <jgriffin> sebsebseb: I've alread got FreeBSD running on it, it's just I'm short on time and was looking into a more "as soon as you boot you can watch flash movies" kind of distro. I might just stick with freebsd though, if the installation of GNOME quits being stupid.
[21:58] <guntbert> k4rt33k: yes, I know, I was talking to omr, there was a bit of confusion about that fact :)
[21:58] <sage_> x11 lol haven't heard that since my fbsdd days
[21:58] <k4rt33k> Dr_Willis: I tried find and got the output onto the terminal (the path to the file) I piped it to | mplayer
[21:58] <Dr_Willis> k4rt33k:  you can use the -exec feature of find perhaps.
[21:58] <w3St> dffd
[21:58] <Dr_Willis> k4rt33k:  or use the $() syntax.
[21:58] <sebsebseb> jgriffin: as soon as can install you can watch Flash movies distro heh,  maybe your after Mint or some such, it's Ubuntu based,  but  can't get support for it here
[21:59] <k4rt33k> Dr_Willis: Oh will look into it thanks for the tip
[21:59] <jgriffin> sebsebseb: That was just a generalizatoin. What I meant was a "plug and play" kind of distro like Ubuntu.
[21:59] <elli222> Nvidia board detected. Ignoring ACPI timer override << What exactly does this mean?
[21:59] <sebsebseb> jgriffin: Mint would be one
[22:00] <jgriffin> sebsebseb: relative to freebsd, I've found ubuntu to be one also.
[22:00] <sebsebseb> jgriffin: however it's not exaclty hard to  install Ubuntu and then
[22:00] <sebsebseb> jgriffin: open a terminal and sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[22:00] <buntunub> how can i get the "User Settings" gui under System > Administration to populate with group and user setting entries
[22:00] <Seveas> elli222, that Ubuntu has to do a trick to work around some brokenness in your chipset
[22:00] <jgriffin> I forgot the people on this channel are morons.
[22:01] <sebsebseb> heh heh at  jgriffin  I could have told him about quite a few good distros, from  newbie to  geek
[22:01] <ewsubach> hi
[22:02] <Seveas> hi ewsubach
[22:02] <sebsebseb> and linked to http://www.distrowatch.com
[22:02] <wolter> yo zeb
[22:02] <sebsebseb> wolter: hi
[22:02] <buntunub> appreciate it if one of you archlinux guru's can help me get the "User Settings" gui under System > Administration to populate with group and user setting entries
[22:03] <Seveas> buntunub, err, archlinux gurus are usually found in #archlinux :)
[22:03] <buntunub> right now its completely unpopulated with user/group entries
[22:03] <j0ve> buntunub: click on Unlock
[22:03] <buntunub> whups sorry bout that gang wrong channel1
[22:03] <kitty_> ok j0ve, everything is working now but my video for X
[22:03] <kitty_> you wanna slap me around through that ?
[22:04] <xTCx> back
[22:04] <j0ve> kitty_: I doubt I can be much help with that...I have lucked out and always had it working from the install
[22:04] <j0ve> kitty_: post your problem and lets see....maybe someone else will chime in
[22:04] <kitty_> i just don't get any display :D
[22:05] <j0ve> kitty_: tail messages again, and then try this....sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh
[22:06] <n0gearII> hmmm ebox is nothing like webmin?!? cant create users etc or am i doing something wrong?
[22:06] <guntbert> j0ve: did you tell kitty to use 2 terminals for those tasks?
[22:07] <jetblast> can someone help me with this error?  http://paste.ubuntu.com/210647/
[22:07] <j0ve> guntbert: yes, earlier when I explained how to tail messages
[22:07] <jetblast> i get this everytime i do an update or anything
[22:07] <guntbert> j0ve: I thought so :), just to make sure
[22:07] <Seveas> jetblast, you have a f*ed up file somewhere
[22:08] <AcidBurn> I have a question
[22:08] <jetblast> Seveas: how should i go about fixing it?
[22:08] <Seveas> jetblast, apt-get update may fix it
[22:08] <jetblast> i tried that
[22:08] <AcidBurn> What chat client is that being used in Live Free Die Hard? I've googled but can't seem to find it.
[22:08] <kitty_> nothing is coming through on the messages
[22:08] <kitty_> and it reconfigured but didn't really do anything
[22:08] <jetblast> Seveas: anytime i run and update or upgrade, i get that error.  anytime i update any file or aptget a file, i get this
[22:09] <Seveas> jetblast, sudo dpkg --clear-avail
[22:09] <guntbert> !ot | AcidBurn
[22:09] <j0ve> kitty_: ok. That should have forced a reconfigure of xorg.conf. Now try startx and see if you get any errors
[22:10] <defectiv> i did a local install of ruby 1.9.1 using "sude make install". should there be some straightforward and clean way to remove all that?
[22:10] <kitty_> yep i get the "failed to start the X server( your ....." message still
[22:10] <AcidBurn> why thanks how ever that is a ubuntu question
[22:10] <Seveas> defectiv, no.
[22:10] <j0ve> kitty_: can you pastebin the whole message
[22:11] <guntbert> AcidBurn: general ubuntu questions in #ubuntu-offtopic please
[22:11] <kitty_> well thats interesting, would my tail prompt be interfering with the system log daemon
[22:12] <kitty_> cause it just decided to restart twice
[22:12] <j0ve> kitty_: might be restarting with startx now that I think abou tit
[22:13] <kitty_> ok so suggestions
[22:13] <j0ve> kitty_: <thinking>
[22:13] <kitty_> when i'm running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[22:14] <kitty_> what should i use for the pci address, the one i get from lspci ?
[22:14] <Xpistos> Hey can anyone help me with a samba issue?
[22:14] <kitty_> 00:12.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage IIC 215IIC [Mach64 GT IIC] (rev 3a)
[22:15] <j0ve> kitty_: I would assume so yes
[22:15] <bros> I am running Ubuntu 9.04 32-bit in a virtual machine VirtualBox on 32-bit. I go to upgrade, and both apt-get upgrade and the update manager freeze on downloading linux-image. The entire system freezes
[22:15] <Xpistos> Getting "Unable to mount location. Failed to retrieve share list from server" Message when I try to connect, but I can connect from Windows without a problem
[22:15] <kitty_> so i just put in PCI:00:12:0 ?
[22:16] <j0ve> kitty_: I would think just the 00:12:0 but I am only guessing. Like I said...I am weak on X
[22:16] <newbuntu> canot someone tell me how to do a screen recording with audio? I want to set up a tutorial video
[22:16] <newbuntu> (sorry) can someone tell me how to do a screen recording with audio? I want to create a tutorial video with audio
[22:17] <floryn90> hi
[22:17] <j0ve> newbuntu: gtk-recordmydesktop
[22:18] <newbuntu> j0ve: thanks
[22:18] <kitty_> j0ve you want the xorg.log?
[22:19] <k4rt33k> any idea what is the option in find to get the file path without spaces or should I pipe to some other command?
[22:19] <j0ve> kitty_: you can pastebin it and I will take a look, but not sure I will be much help
[22:19] <kitty_> j0ve, http://pastebin.com/f2df6b969
[22:20] <Dr_Willis> k4rt33k:  you may need to some how put in some quotes. - i make it a point to never use spaces in path/filenames any more. :) so thats about all i know.
[22:20] <AcidBurn> People in #ubuntu-offtopic said my quesiton was a ubuntu question
[22:20] <AcidBurn> though when asked here i'm told to go there
[22:20] <AcidBurn> so bye
[22:20] <adante> how can i refresh the system so that blkids will report new devices?
[22:20] <Dr_Willis> k4rt33k:  or the first google hit on 'find command escape spaces' --> http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.aspx?catid=82&threadid=2258854
[22:21] <defectiv> Seveas: ahhhhh sudo find / -name "*ruby1.9*" -exec rm -rf {} \;
[22:21] <Seveas> defectiv, dangerous and crude, but probably effective enough :)

[22:27] <kitty_> looks pretty much the same there j0ve
[22:27] <dakarn> kitty_, are you using a laptop or a desktop?
[22:27] <kitty_> dakarn, i've tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[22:27] <cosmicharley> okay- I just can't install Ubuntu- it gets stuck on a black page waiting for an input. the last bit reads 'ububtu@ubuntu:~$'
[22:27] <kitty_> dakarn, its a powerpc imac
[22:28] <Out_Cold> cosmicharley, what version are you using?
[22:28] <Out_Cold> cosmicharley, that last line is called the CLI prompt
[22:28] <kitty_> it was working before but just with no video, sound and everything came through, but then i re-ran the dpkg-reconfigure and now i just get the xserver failed to start message
[22:28] <cosmicharley> out_cold the latest one from the
[22:28] <dakarn> try xfix repair
[22:28] <cosmicharley> 9.04
[22:28] <Out_Cold> cosmicharley, is it a live cd? or an alternate install or a server edition?
[22:29] <cosmicharley> its a live CD I downloaded
[22:29] <Out_Cold> cosmicharley, and you went through the installation process?
[22:29] <cosmicharley> out_cold- it won't get through the process- stops on that screen
[22:30] <Out_Cold> are you running it from within windows? or are you booting from the cd?
[22:30] <drdozer2> I'm running karmic koala with kde, and can't see how to use bluetooth to browse the files on my phone over bluetooth - any ideas?
[22:31] <cosmicharley> out_cold- I'm booting from CD. The laptop has previously run hardy heron no problems, botting from external. I got fed up with windows, went for a full reboot, and it just gets 'stuck'
[22:31] <kitty_> dakarn, where do i get this xfix repair?
[22:31] <dakarn> kitty_: boot up in recovery mode
[22:31] <cosmicharley> Full installation- getting rid of windows on the laptop
[22:32] <kitty_> umm
[22:32] <purepain> drdozer2 can you find your phone?
[22:32] <kitty_> now thats gonna be a hard one
[22:32] <Out_Cold> cosmicharley, i recommend verifying your checksum with the checksum on the download site..
[22:32] <kitty_> how do you do that on a powerpc?
[22:32] <spursncowboys> Hey everyone. Happy 4th of July weekend to all the Americans.
[22:32] <Out_Cold> cosmicharley, which stage of the startup does it go to the prompt?
[22:32] <cosmicharley> out_cold- I checked it with 'traders little helper' once it was downloaded
[22:33] <drdozer2> kitty_: the bluetooth icon is on my taskbar, but it is only responding to right-clicks - is there some other app I should launch to browse discovered bluetooth devices?
[22:33] <spursncowboys> Is there a way to see if anyone is on my wifi? I am using Ubuntu 9.04. Also how can I set up a WEP?
[22:33] <Out_Cold> spursncowboys, don't use WEp... use anything but WEp
[22:33] <cosmicharley> out_cold- I'll restart it... I'm at the option page now- 'try ubuntu.... Install.... check disc for defects... ' etc etc
[22:34] <Out_Cold> also spursncowboys you can most likely see devices connected to your router from the router setup pages..
[22:34] <Out_Cold> ok so try ubuntu..
[22:34] <Out_Cold> cosmicharley, i am assuming you are using 2 boxes?? one the laptop and another that you are chatting on?
[22:34] <spursncowboys> out_cold: where is the router setup page?
[22:35] <cosmicharley> Out_Cold- ok- try ubuntu... screen black... logo and red running line....
[22:35] <cosmicharley> out_cold- yes- I'm on my windows family computer too
[22:35] <purepain> spursncowboys <IP_ADDRESS> or <IP_ADDRESS>
[22:35] <Out_Cold> spursncowboys, try opening your browser and going to <IP_ADDRESS> or <IP_ADDRESS> it might tell you on the bottom of your router..
[22:36] <Out_Cold> cosmicharley, have you partitioned this computer for 8.04 before?
[22:37] <Mat-Cauthon> looking for an offline dictionary for japanese words and kanji (jap-en), any ideas?
[22:37] <cosmicharley> out_cold- no. should I?
[22:37] <spursncowboys> out_cold: It is asking for a username and password.
[22:37] <drdozer2> kitty_: I can send files to my phone via the bluetooth icon, but can't fetch them
[22:37] <j0ve> spursncowboys: you can usually see a list of logged users in the wifi hub management console
[22:38] <Out_Cold> spursncowboys, it should tell you on the bottom of your router... but try user: admin pass: admin
[22:38] <spursncowboys> jove: where do I find the wifi hub mngmnt console?
[22:38] <cosmicharley> Out_cold- "10 APIC resources could not be allocated.... "
[22:38] <spursncowboys> out_cold: oh ok. brb
[22:39] <stormchas2000> I have jackalope and I am trying to install a shell script  "workspace installer"
[22:39] <j0ve> spursncowboys: it is part of the web interface to your wifi hub, usually at an address like http://<IP_ADDRESS>

[22:45] <adi__> cosmicharley, now try again what u did before
[22:45] <cosmicharley> Out_cold- O....... Kay
[22:45] <CooosmiChaos> hope it wont happenagain
[22:45] <jjnw> newbuntu, both are good  kubuntu used the kde desktop, ubuntu uses gnome
[22:46] <cosmicharley> out_cold- which bit? the restart the installation bit?
[22:46] <cosmicharley> sorry- that was to adi
[22:46] <Out_Cold> cosmic.. there is something the live cd isn't liking with your system... so it may be best to do the full installation in CLI and upgrade to the GUI

[22:49] <Xpistos> j0ve: I was using smb to connect to my ubuntu server, but after upgrading my laptop to jaunty, I get an error that says "Unable to mount location. Failed to retrieve share list from server" So I figured maybe I need to switch to another fs

[22:50] <cjae> jjnw, right thanks whats the -h option for I just used df

[22:52] <Patrick_> i tried sudo cut nessus > ../Nessus                   but nothing happened
[22:52] <Xpistos> j0ve: is there another option I may want to consider? I could use SSHFS, but I want the connection to be automatic when I boot up
[22:52] <chaorain> Can I get some help makeing blender?
[22:52] <stormchas2000> i have jaunty how do you install a shell script called workdspace installer
[22:52] <Xpistos> j0ve: Any good docs on NFS ?

[22:52] <Out_Cold> cosmicharley, i think i may  have found something though...
[22:52] <adi__> baghyay, errors?
[22:52] <cosmicharley> Anybody else offer any help with a CLI installation?
[22:53] <Out_Cold> cosmicharley, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/32bitonAMD64
[22:53] <cosmicharley> Out_cold... okay?
[22:53] <Out_Cold> cosmicharley, if you type in that command before you  'try' it may boot properly
[22:53] <j0ve> Xpistos: I think smb is the way to go. I used fusesmb in the past but am having some problems getting it to work in jaunty
[22:53] <cosmicharley> out_cold- thatnks- more reading. I've been looking for myself all evenign and its driving me crazy
[22:53] <baghyay> noting
[22:53] <cosmicharley> :-)
[22:53] <baghyay> null output
[22:53] <Out_Cold> cosmicharley, it's not much reading
[22:53] <adi__> baghyay, now write in terminal lsmod
[22:54] <darlek> !ubottu | darlek
[22:54] <adi__> and look for module snd_hda_intel if it's there
[22:54] <baghyay> that gives a long liste
[22:54] <Xpistos> j0ve: Thanks. At least I know I am not crazy. In the mean time I will keep using SSHFS

[22:54] <FloodBot2> baghyay: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:54] <Out_Cold> cosmicharley, if you can't get that to work, you can try the alternate cd orr the server cd.... both can get you running Gnome with a few extra steps
[22:54] <cosmicharley> out_cold- yeah- its cool|:-)

[23:13] <vigo> karamella: Did you find it?
[23:13] <adi__> sburwood, do u have it already installed?
[23:13] <cosmicharley> <out_cold- Back- i eascaped the memtest- restarted - now its listing loads of stuff for me
[23:13] <liviu> I have a question about me being banned from the ubuntuforums
[23:14] <sburwood> I think that gparted is a part of the system
[23:14] <liviu> I got 15 points inraction
[23:14] <erUSUL> liviu: this is not the place to ask i'm afraid. do not know if ubuntuforums has its own irc channel
[23:14] <sburwood> with cfdisk, I got back a "FATAL ERROR : Cannot open disk drive"
[23:14] <erUSUL> !irc | liviu
[23:14] <sburwood> that's not good, is it?
[23:15] <adi__> sburwood, ok, now try cfdisk -z /dev/sda
[23:15] <cube> VCoolio: yeah well the thing is that its a PERL plugin
[23:15] <sburwood> same answer
[23:15] <liviu> ok, thank you
[23:15] <adi__> sburwood, if u'll the same error try to change the /dev/sda in /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc
[23:15] <VCoolio> cube: where did you get it? what is it?
[23:16] <cosmicharley> out_cold - its listed a load of stuff.... "autorun DONE." foillowed by VFS: cannot open root device....
[23:16] <sburwood> brb
[23:16] <liviu> ubottu: I found the channel you mean, thanks
[23:16] <sburwood> sda, sdb, sdc, same problem
[23:17] <sburwood> what does that mean?
[23:17] <cosmicharley> out_cold unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (104,1)
[23:17] <adi__> sburwood, did u tryed to boot from xp?
[23:17] <Out_Cold> sorry cosmicharley i don't know where to go from there... if you had 8.04 on there... try 8.10 and upgrade maybe?
[23:17] <sburwood> I don't have XP on a USB key and, as you know, no CD drive on the EEE
[23:18] <purpleposeidon> Is there a way to force a fsck run from the kernel command line?
[23:18] <sburwood> no, the EEE had XP on it when I bought it in Dec 2008
[23:18] <adi__> u can write xp on key...don't know how but i'm sure u cand do it
[23:18] <cosmicharley> out_cold- yes maybe that's my best bet- annoying as I just decided to go for it today and dump winders from it. I'll have a go during the week I guess. Thanks for your advice
[23:18] <sburwood> I had someone get that off
[23:18] <sburwood> for what purpose, put XP on the computer?
[23:18] <el-larso> does anybody have experience with modprobe?
[23:19] <sburwood> wish I could help, el
[23:19] <darlek_> for anyone as well as adi__ , new pastie: http://pastebin.com/m62b81eab  for usb keyboard connection, which is the driver to load to modules?  hidraw0?
[23:20] <darlek_> seems to be the location, not the driver
[23:20] <thehumanerror> could someone help me work out why my Sennheiser USB headset doesn't work in 9.04 and get it fixed please?
[23:20] <thehumanerror> as in, fixed for other people
[23:21] <thehumanerror> it appears to work in Fedora 11 and Ubuntu 8.04 LTS
[23:21] <adi__> darlek, there it's dmesg, right?
[23:21] <adi__> sburwood, probably u have the ssd damaged
[23:22] <darlek_> adi__, yes in the pastebinit above.  You can see the last connection and that's the one that works.  hidraw1 not hidraw0.  But those are location names
[23:22] <adi__> darlek, write in terminal lsmod and look for keyboard
[23:22] <darlek_> adi__, ok
[23:22] <sburwood> is it important that in dmesg, sda and sdb have write cache disabled?
[23:22] <sburwood> read cache enabled
[23:23] <adi__> sburwood, no, doesn't mean nothing
[23:23] <wahnfrieden> hi
[23:23] <adi__> it's for speed
[23:23] <dAnon> I've got Ubuntu 9.04, the performance in Quake Wars is terrible, both in low and high the game runs very blocky and slow, graphics 7800GT, 180 nvidia prop drivers
[23:23] <sburwood> and what does it mean that it doesn't support DPO or FUA?
[23:23] <darlek_> adi__, no keyboard... but did find usbhid 42336 1 hid_dell
[23:23] <wahnfrieden> I've connected to the internet via ethernet. How can I see what DNS servers I'm using (which were assigned via dhcp)?
[23:23] <adi__> sburwood, have no ideea
[23:23] <darlek_> adi__, thus I load usbhid to modules, is that it?
[23:23] <wahnfrieden> ifconfig doesn't help, nor do the GUI network tools in gnome afaik
[23:23] <sburwood> that makes two of us
[23:23] <adi__> darlek, yes, that one it's yours
[23:24] <darlek_> adi__, sweet
[23:24] <adi__> darlek, :))
[23:24] <dAnon> I've got Ubuntu 9.04, the performance in Quake Wars is terrible, both in low and high the game runs very blocky and slow, graphics 7800GT, 180 nvidia prop drivers, got any ideas if I could do something about that?
[23:24] <sburwood> I'm going to sleep.  In my part of the woods, it's 24 minutes after midnight
[23:24] <sburwood> bye and thx for what help you have been
[23:24] <sburwood> rhx adi
[23:25] <adi__> darlek, yes, it's in /etc
[23:25] <elli222> Why is acpi always telling me my CPU is at 40 degrees C? the it87 sensors say "45"
[23:25] <adi__> darlek, write in terminal  cat /etc/modules
[23:25] <elli222> darlek is gone...
[23:25] <adi__> and read there...
[23:25] <thehumanerror> elli222: Because the cheap sensors in PCs are low quality
[23:26] <jagjr> oh.. my sound doesnt work when i watch online flash shiz
[23:26] <fireun> oy, my printer stopped working after I upgraded to Jaunty - tried reinstalling cups, installing the brother cups wrapper -- nadda, printer comes one, blinks the light a couple times, then goes back to idle - nothing printed!
[23:26] <elli222> >> * darlek_ has quit ("Leaving")
[23:26] <adi__> yes :)))
[23:26] <adi__> thks elli222

[23:27] <jagjr> i want to watch porn tho
[23:27] <jagjr> how can i fix
[23:27] <wahnfrieden> so how can I see what DNS servers I was automatically configured to use? Is there some way in ifconfig maybe?
[23:27] <adi__> jagjr, try to install internet explorer under wine
[23:27] <wahnfrieden> I'm using Jaunty and gnome
[23:27] <fireun> I want to print, which one seems more important in the long run?
[23:27] <vigo> wahnfrieden: ifconfig , but is a lot more, http://www.linux-noob.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2070 that sorta explains it.
[23:28] <mobi-sheep> !sound
[23:28] <thehumanerror> could someone help me work out why my Sennheiser USB headset doesn't work in 9.04 and get it fixed please?
[23:28] <adi__> wahnfrieden, make a file named resolv.conf in /etc
[23:28] <samosa> How many errors are normal for the memtest86?
[23:28] <fireun> no one knows how to fix broken printing after a Jaunty upgrade?
[23:28] <bucky> wahnfrieden: cat /etc/resolv.conf
[23:28] <Jeruvy> samosa: none.
[23:28] <fireun> samosa: probably none
[23:28] <adi__> wahnfrieden, and put there the nameserver xx.xx.xx.xx
[23:29] <samosa> shit...no wonder my pc has been rebooting / crashing.... 88 errors!!! x_X
[23:29] <bucky> wahnfrieden: prolly only says your dsl modems addy
[23:29] <Jeruvy> !language > samosa
[23:29] <adi__> thehumanerror, what says on dmesg when u plug in the usb cable?

[23:30] <bitf> Hi, I'm trying to get rid of all firefox flash plugin I uninstalled everything that mentioned flash, but one plugin still works and is still on the list. How do I get rid of it?

[23:30] <fireun> screw this
[23:30] <samosa> I have 2x1 gig memory sticks, how do i know which one is failing?
[23:30] <scunizi> bitf: mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla.backup then restart FF and see if it's still there
[23:31] <adi__> samosa, open the unit and just extract one of two. WHEN the pc  IT'S OFF
[23:31] <Jeruvy> samosa: pull one, retest.  then repeat with the other stick.  If they are 'paired' then you're simply better to just replace both
[23:32] <samosa> ok
[23:32] <samosa> is there a way to check for harddrive errors? (I am worries harddrive may be corrupted too.)

[23:37] <jagjr> mobi
[23:37] <jagjr> Go to System-Preferences-Sound.
[23:37] <jagjr> Change all the settings from ALSA to OSS. (Run the Test sound first- if it works go through the others and change them all)
[23:37] <mobi-sheep> jagjr: No GUI.
[23:37] <scunizi> bitf: ok open nautilus (Places>Home) then ctrl+h to expose hidden directories.. look for .mozilla .. highlight, right mouse click and rename .mozilla.backup
[23:38] <jagjr> Change all the settings to ALSA

[23:39] <lawrence> Hi all. I am running Ubuntu 9.04 desktop edition with an nvidia geforce fx 5200. Since 2 nights ago the display seting has changed to 640*480 from 1024*768 and nothing I do seems to change it. Additionally, the only software I installed apart from the last updates two or three days ago is ksplice uptrack - though I can't see what that might have to do with it. Is anyone else having this prob or solved it? Thanks
[23:39] <VCoolio> ololhi: open update manager and hit "settings" down left
[23:39] <jagjr> Pulga : i can send you my ubuntu live cd?
[23:40] <Pulga> I am tring to command line
[23:40] <Pulga> its a server
[23:40] <scunizi> Pulga: 8.04 is LTS and pretty stable.. unless you have an overriding need to upgrade wait until the next LTS release and do the upgrade in one step

[23:41] <scunizi> bitf: ok.. Places is just to the right of Applications.. upper bar left on the standard install.
[23:41] <saif> i cant get network between ubuntu host and win xp guest
[23:41] <dAnon> bitf: no Quake Wars has native installer within the 1.5 patch
[23:41] <samosa> "Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player. "
[23:41] <samosa> ?
[23:41] <smerz> saif: works fine for me. i got XP guest system connecting to my host system accessing a samba share
[23:41] <wrinkliez> hey guys, how do i replace firefox 3.1 with firefox 3.5?  i installed 3.5, and did a apt-get remove firefox, yet i still have 3.1 and dont know where 3.5 went
[23:42] <dAnon> bitf I am running the linux version
[23:42] <Pulga> can I upgrade ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 using command line?, after that I want to do it again to 9.04....
[23:42] <saif> ping is not working smerz
[23:42] <jerry_> Sound died after upgrade to jaunty. What's the deal?
[23:42] <bitf> dAnon: I can't help you then
[23:42] <scunizi> !upgrade | Pulga
[23:42] <bitf> dAnon: sorry
[23:42] <smerz> saif: do you have a firewall running?
[23:42] <dayo> saif: your guest should be on NAT
[23:42] <dAnon> can I downgrade from 9.04 to 8.10 ? :P
[23:42] <saif> smerz : i stopped both on ubuntu and xp
[23:42] <scunizi> dAnon: only through a reinstall
[23:42] <dAnon> doh :P
[23:43] <marko-_-> what is the package that contains drivers for mp3's and stuff ?
[23:43] <dayo> dAnon: i just might. my OOo isn't working in jaunty :-(
[23:43] <marko-_-> ubuntu-nonfree
[23:43] <marko-_-> or something like that
[23:43] <lawrence> Hi all. I am running Ubuntu 9.04 desktop edition with an nvidia geforce fx 5200. Since 2 nights ago the display seting has changed to 640*480 from 1024*768 and nothing I do seems to change it. Additionally, the only software I installed apart from the last updates two or three days ago is ksplice uptrack - though I can't see what that might have to do with it. Is anyone else having this prob or solved it? Thanks
[23:43] <saif> dayo : i used bridged
[23:43] <samosa> question can you install flash on liveubuntucd?
[23:43] <coleys> marko-_-: ubuntu-restricted-extras
[23:43] <dayo> dAnon: or i could upgrade to OOo3.1
[23:43] <dayo> saif: try NAT
[23:43] <scunizi> samosa: if you have enough ram maybe .. you'll have to try :)
[23:43] <dAnon> I guess 8.10 gonna run Quake Wars perfectly in opposition to 9.04
[23:43] <saif> dayo : i tried all
[23:43] <samosa> :p
[23:43] <smerz> saif: check the settings in virtualbox of the client system. NAT is i think what you want (the windows guest system then has access to inet). the default gateway is your host os (i'm sure you're aware of that)
[23:43] <The_Cog> marko-_-: try ubuntu-restricted-extras
[23:43] <saif> dayo : i `ll try it again and tell u exactly what i get
[23:43] <marko-_-> coleys, thanks
[23:44] <blackest_knight> samosa: every time you boot maybe
[23:44] <coleys> marko-_-: No prob =)
[23:44] <dAnon> is there any possible way of checking whatever the os is 32 or 64bit?
[23:44] <samosa> how can you check ram usage in linux?
[23:44] <asterisk888> !upgrade
[23:44] <dayo> saif: ok. also check if u have a firewall or iptables
[23:44] <jagjr> !downgrade
[23:44] <coleys> dAnon: uname -a
[23:44] <saif> dayo: i have fire starte
[23:44] <smerz> saif: also make sure the network adapter is enabled for guesOS
[23:44] <dayo> saif: might be u need to check your firestarter settings, then
[23:44] <blackest_knight> samosa: on the otherhand you could make a version of live cd with flash installed
[23:45] <coleys> dAnon: You'll either notice x86, or I believe x86_64
[23:45] <bitf> scunizi: thought I was looking in the right place, but home contains only .directory
[23:45] <saif> smerz and dayo : thanx and i `ll tell u what happens
[23:45] <dayo> samosa: top
[23:45] <dAnon> thx
[23:45] <mituss> hello
[23:45] <blackest_knight> samosa: top
[23:45] <bucky> wahnfrieden: type nslookup host
[23:45] <dayo> !welcome | mituss
[23:45] <scunizi> bitf: you must be looking in the wrong spot.. there should be lots of stuff there.. poke around a bit.
[23:45] <mituss>  how can i upgrade from terminal from ubuntu 8.04L... to ubuntu 9.04
[23:45] <lawrence> hi mituss
[23:46] <jagjr> i dont get video whilst watching certaing websites
[23:46] <blackest_knight> mituss: via 8:10 :)
[23:46] <smerz> mituss: i ain't got no clue sorry :). i used the CD for a fresh install *g*
[23:46] <mituss> i have alredy this
[23:47] <mituss> :((
[23:47] <bitf> scunizi: home folder, where the accounts are listed?
[23:47] <dayo> mituss: man aptitude
[23:47] <VCoolio> mituss: apt-get dist-upgrade
[23:47] <scunizi> bitf: that's what the ~ line means. and in the gui when you go to Places>Home that's where you end up
[23:47] <losher> !upgrade | mituss
[23:47] <Luig1> Hi. I intend to install the Google Chrome Linux alpha .deb . Does anyone here have anything to say about that? Like warnings or testimonials?
[23:48] <lawrence> Hi all. I am running Ubuntu 9.04 desktop edition with an nvidia geforce fx 5200. Since 2 nights ago the display seting has changed to 640*480 from 1024*768 and nothing I do seems to change it - there is no other option either in the nvidia tool or the system display settings tool above 640*480. Additionally, the only software I installed apart from the last updates two or three days ago is ksplice uptrack - though I can't see what that
[23:48] <jagjr> i dont get video whilst watching certaing websites
[23:48] <losher> mituss: I have to add, unless there's something specific you need in 9.04, it's barely worth upgrading, IMO.
[23:48] <p1mrx> hi, when I set up a Samba share on 9.04, where is that config actually stored?
[23:49] <dayo> jagjr: sudo aptitude install adobe-flashplugin
[23:49] <Gun_Smoke> p1mrx: 'locate samba.conf'
[23:49] <smerz> p1mrx: /etc/samba
[23:49] <jagjr> TY
[23:49] <dayo> jagjr: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras libdvdcss2
[23:49] <scunizi> !repeat | lawrence give it a while before repeating.. like 30 minutes to an hour.. there's obviously no one here with that knowledge willing to help at this time.
[23:49] <bitf> scunizi: found it in my user file
[23:49] <dayo> jagjr: those two commands
[23:49] <The_Cog> Luig1: Works quite well but the fonts are ugly.
[23:49] <scunizi> bitf: of course :)
[23:49] <jagjr> k ty
[23:49] <Adola> Can someone help me with SSHFS?
[23:50] <lawrence> ok, thanks for responding
[23:50] <Adola> It keeps saying Mount point not empty
[23:50] <smerz> p1mrx: i was lying. thats only general samba config. dunno where the share specific configs are stored
[23:50] <saif> dayo : are u there ?
[23:50] <^Alita> hi to all
[23:50] <dayo> saif: yep
[23:50] <saif> dayo : i tried
[23:50] <blackest_knight> Adola:  then it isnt , just create a new directory and use that
[23:50] <saif> dayo : now i c the connection but no ping
[23:50] <p1mrx> I've been looking at /etc/samba/smb.conf, but, yeah, my existing shares aren't listed there.
[23:50] <^Alita> someone can tell me if update-apt-xapi is useful?
[23:51] <saif> dayo : i can reciecved and sent packets
[23:51] <smerz> saif: can you ping guest system from host OS?
[23:51] <^Alita> it's annoying me...
[23:51] <samosa> is it true what they say? that you cant run crysis on ubuntu?
[23:51] <saif> smerz : yes ....it can ping all 192.168.5.XXXX
[23:51] <saif> smerz : dont no why really
[23:51] <dayo> saif: maybe u need to check your guest's browser settings
[23:52] <bitf> scunizi: got it, thanks
[23:52] <dayo> saif: let me boot up my XP guest
[23:52] <VCoolio> lawrence: try reconnecting cables both on desktop side and monitor side; for some it helps for others doesn't but worth a try

[23:54] <jagjr> telephinz : Sysetm --> Administration ---> Hardware Drivers
[23:54] <p1mrx> looks like Samba stuff is under /var/lib/samba/usershares/...
[23:54] <samosa> !game
[23:54] <samosa> !help
[23:54] <saif> smerz: the gateway is the host ip right ??
[23:54] <smerz> saif: nope
[23:55] <smerz> saif: it's a different ip
[23:55] <^Alita> someone can tell me if update-apt-xapi is useful?
[23:55] <telephinz> jagjr: what should i be looking for there
[23:55] <samosa> !what is your IQ?
[23:55] <dayo> saif: smerz: i can ping and browse. host is behind a squid proxy, and i guest firefox is set to use that proxy, or else it won't be able to browse.
[23:55] <saif> smerz : what should it be ?
[23:55] <smerz> saif: run "cmd" then run "ipconfig" in console
[23:55] <samosa> hes so smart.
[23:55] <smerz> saif: the default gateway is the host ip from the guest os
[23:55] <samosa> !linux
[23:55] <saif> dayo : done
[23:55] <Luig1> Ok, thanks The_Cog. I doubted Google would spend so long on it just to release (or, almost release) something that makes a habit of crashing.

[23:56] <dAnon> what is with the flash player in ubuntu, is that only 9.04 problem that it runs so slow?
[23:56] <Kellerman> yep
[23:56] <jagjr> telephinz : look for your card driver then click activate
[23:56] <dayo> saif: smerz: on NAT gateway would not be host IP. it would be an IP in the guest's subnet
[23:56] <samosa> !samosa
[23:56] <saif> smerz : that is what i ment
[23:56] <smerz> dayo: i use NAT and i can use inet from guest os
[23:56] <samosa> :(
[23:56] <Kellerman> ))))
[23:56] <dAnon> If I downgrade to 8.10 flashplayer will be all ok?
[23:56] <dayo> smerz: me too
[23:56] <saif> dayo : can u plz explain ?
[23:56] <samosa> dAnon: no your life will be over.
[23:57] <blackest_knight> dAnon:  using intel graphics card ?
[23:57] <dayo> saif: are u using a proxy to connect your host to the internet?
[23:57] <smerz> saif: whats the default gateway? did you try it?
[23:57] <dAnon> I do not need such replies
[23:57] <dAnon> using GF 7800GT
[23:57] <saif> dayo : no proxy just firestarter
[23:57] <samosa> <--- hd4850
[23:57] <dAnon> 180 pro driver
[23:57] <saif> smerz : ipconfig shows the host ip as the default gateway
[23:58] <dayo> saif: i've never used fstarter. i use firehol on the server
[23:58] <saif> dayo : i stopped it
[23:58] <samosa> !benchmark
[23:58] <dayo> saif: it shouldnt show host as default gw, if u're NATing
[23:58] <saif> dayo : i did put the host ip
[23:58] <smerz> saif: try the default gateway IP. thats your host OS ip address from that guest OS. you surely can ping it. I use firestarter. no additional configuration required. at least i didn't need to config anything
[23:59] <saif> dayo : should it be something different
[23:59] <smerz> my guest os is on ip <IP_ADDRESS> and from my guest OS i can reach my host OS via <IP_ADDRESS>
[23:59] <saif> smerz : i tried it
[23:59] <psypointer> hi
[23:59] <saif> smerz : it did not work
[23:59] <psypointer> how can i select soundtrack 2 from a ts file with ffmpeg?
[23:59] <dayo> saif: guest IP is <IP_ADDRESS>   and default gw is <IP_ADDRESS>   they should be in the same subnet


[20:41] <tigerite> Hi, is there some issue with Launchpad publishing packages today? Many of mine are spending a long time "awaiting publication" after building..
[20:42] <cjwatson> tigerite: Yes, there's a handful of very large and popular PPAs taking up all that system's outgoing bandwidth, which means it has very little bandwidth available for downloading packages to publish from Launchpad's core systems ...
[20:43] <cjwatson> tigerite: It's an anomalous event but it seems to be mostly legitimate traffic, so for the moment, we're just going to need to wait for it to calm down naturally
[20:43] <cjwatson> tigerite: The PPA publisher is running, just very slowly
[20:43] <tigerite> No worries, just was wondering as it's been fine until today, but that makes complete sense
[20:44] <cjwatson> We're looking at ways to make it a bit more resilient in case something like this happens again
[20:44] <cjwatson> But, well, Friday evening
[20:44] <tigerite> Yeah, it'll probably calm down over the weekend
[20:45] <cjwatson> Things like this normally last less than a day
[20:45] <cjwatson> (cron cycles etc.)
[20:46] <tigerite> By the way is this a good place to ask for a quota increase if I should need it? I did leave a question on Launchpad but didn't hear back, and then chained PPAs instead, but I may after all need a small increase depending on how much space boost and virtualbox end up taking
[20:56] <cjwatson> tigerite: Leaving a question is normally the best way and we normally do handle those reasonably quickly; we must just have missed handling that one in time
[20:58] <tigerite> No problem, the space is fine at the minute, it's funny though how quickly 2Gb goes! I already had to trash two PPAs as the binaries got "stuck" :)
[20:59] <cjwatson> We're happy to issue quotas for what looks like reasonable use.
[20:59] <cjwatson> Er, increase quotas.
[21:01] <tigerite> That's cool. I really don't want to trash this one, I've uploaded 50 packages (not all built at the mo) and more to come, making dependencies play nice is a challenge, certainly!
[21:11] <tigerite> Anyway thanks for all the help and will keep checking to see if my packages get published this evening ;)
[21:12] <tigerite> The longest one's been 4 hours in the queue, heh!
[21:13] <cjwatson> Yeah, our last run took about five hours
[21:13] <cjwatson> We're looking at options
[21:14] <tigerite> At least it happened on a Friday..
[21:16] <tigerite> And, packages are uploading fine now, which is a big improvement on earlier in the day :)
[22:04] <cjwatson> PPA publishing issues should hopefully improve very shortly


[01:03] <docvell> Just a general question: I have my Ubuntu 12.10 system autoboot into my account, then when I get to the GUI it asks for the Keyring.  I type it in..I have no problem doing this, but what happens if I type it in wrong too many times?  Will it lock me out of my account?
[01:06] <wilee-nilee> docvell, Are you sure the key call is not for the wireless, key ring is rather strange.
[01:06] <docvell> My wireless network is a different password and that auto logs on to my ISP
[01:07] <docvell> I'm just curious if I type the password wrong or someone tries getting into my laptop and they type it wrong many times
[01:09] <wilee-nilee> docvell, Not sure to be honest, you might try the #ubuntu channel if no others answer. ;)
[01:11] <docvell> ok
[01:11] <docvell> I am not going to worry about it anyway, nothing secret is on it, just was curious
[01:13] <wilee-nilee> docvell, Cool. ;)
[13:53] <othmane> Hello, I'm thomas, helping othmane configuring his new laptop with ubuntu. We have a problem with a wireless connection. To access the network, a code is required. the code provided by the network owner has 9 characters, but ubuntu accepts only codes with the length 5 or 10. With only 9 characters the button for continuing is grayed out. Can anyone give some hints please?
[20:12] <chrismj7> I'm trying to install java (.tar.gz) using tar -zxvf, but then when I cd the unzipped directory and try make, i get the output no targets specified and no makefile found. stop.
[20:12] <chrismj7> Any ideas?
[20:13] <chrismj7> It's obviously right in front of me, i just can't seem to figure it out no matter what I try.
