But I want to make that prompt go away? Low graphics mode seems fine to me, so how can I make it the default?

[10:52] <cmp> oh, and you want to say that are buying an original copy of Linux lint01, ?? ????
[10:52] <cmp> lololol
[10:52] <nelson8874> it is a very small program, with the divx codecs, and all the stuff!!!! i hope it works
[10:52] <LewRockwellFAN> Lint01, sould tht apply to clips that were produced and didtriuted under a GNU type liscence, like the MISES.org clips. They are all on youtupe ut they let any-ody copy them from their own site. Surely youtupe can't claim IP rights on them.
[10:52] <mako-sama> CHESLYN: you have to run it from the command line.  maybe you want to do it through a GUI?
[10:53] <farciarz84> iceroot: thx
[10:53] <farciarz84> :)
[10:53] <cmp> and you want to say also that you are buying every thing on your Computer lint01, ???

[10:53] <llutz> !ot | cmp Lint01
[10:55] <CHESLYN> mako-sama: in terminal it says '' mkfs [-V] [-t fstype] [fs-options] device [size]'' and the data storage is in.and with GUI? what must i do
[10:55] <Wazzzaaa> I connect to my windows box with "Terminal Server Client". How can I copy paste from ubuntu in windows?
[10:55] <cmp> ubottu, can you guide me how to download the clips from youtube? or you also buying original stuff?????
[10:55] <LewRockwellFAN> Can I add a line to my grub.conf to make booting form my DVD drive an option? If I can, what do I call the drive?
[10:56] <Blinkee> Can I have VMWare & VirtualBox installed at same time so I can use both and compare them?
[10:56] <Allen-gdgd>  :)
[10:56] <linny> Blinkee: sure dont see why not
[10:56] <infid> certain files like PDF's and movies keep doing this thing where the whole window freezes and fades in color a little for a few seconds, then fades back in. so i can't use the window for like 5-10 seconds. what's that about? it keeps happening and it's sooo annoying
[10:57] <linny> infid: do you have an old pc ?
[10:57] <Blinkee> nothin 2 lose :)
[10:57] <nelson8874> oh crap :( i have an error: dependencies can not be satisfied (i'm a portuguese user, i'm translating)
[10:57] <nelson8874> why is this, noren?
[10:57] <mako-sama> CHESLYN: if you want to use a GUI, you can probably use gparted to format the usbstorage device.   I think you can select the device you want to work on, and from there you can add a partition and/or format it
[10:58] <infid> linny no it's a 2ghz machine with 2gb of ram
[10:58] <Consul_Falx> !low graphics mode
[10:58] <nelson8874> noren: oh crap :( i have an error: dependencies can not be satisfied (i'm a portuguese user, i'm translating)
[10:59] <mako-sama> CHESLYN: it's easier to do from a terminal if you know the device's name ( mkfs.msdos -F 32 /dev/sdXX )
[10:59] <Consul_Falx> !info low graphics mode
[10:59] <Consul_Falx> !:(
[10:59] <bazhang> Consul_Falx, /msg ubottu please
[10:59] <mako-sama> CHESLYN: where XX is the device's assigned letter and partition number
[10:59] <linny> infid: try running top while it does it to see what the most intensive procs are , ive only seen ubuntu do that when i run hd vids that my pc cant really handle well
[10:59] <noren> ok wait i will try get other package then
[11:00] <mako-sama> that is, assuming it gets a sdX name.   I don't use ubuntu that much so I have no idea
[11:00] <Allen-gdgd> ??

[11:00] <Consul_Falx> my system (Kubuntu karmic amd64) hangs upon splashscreen recalling an error "ubuntu is running in low graphics mode <br> error: can't open directory /(something)/fs0 - directory doesn't exist" ...
[11:01] <CHESLYN> mako-sama: how will i know the device's name.where must i check
[11:01] <bazhang> Allen-gdgd, /join #ubuntu-tw
[11:01] <linny> infid: also encrypted disks can slow things down toodisks are oftem a bottleneck
[11:01]  * Consul_Falx needs an urgent attendance because of above -.-
[11:01] <infid> the pdf is on a shared folder which might be why
[11:02] <linny> infid: shared as in on a usb or network disk ?
[11:02] <mako-sama> easy. when you plug in the device, do this in terminal "dmesg |tail" you'll see the system's response to the device and you should see the device name there
[11:02] <infid> network
[11:02] <noren> nelson8874, what version is installed on ur laptop
[11:02] <linny> infid: i see that could be the issue, try transfering to local disk and try again

[11:04] <yarri> I broke yesterday a wireless router - old and crappy Linksys that enabled me to connect both using a cable and a wireless. I know squat about routers.

[11:05] <yarri> I was wondering if you could recomend something that will work with ubuntu and won't cost too much - say up to 50$

[11:07] <bazhang> http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 Finnish here is a guide
[11:08] <llutz> yarri: look at dd-wrt/openwrt sites for supported routers and choose one.

[11:16] <ActionParsnip> Blinkee: not sure, i dont download from youtube, i just watch the vids on the site
[11:16] <CHESLYN> mako-sama: my is not working
[11:16] <Blinkee> is it safe to image(with dd) the / partition while the system is up?
[11:17] <shrikant> is any one install/configure cloud with server 9.10
[11:17] <iceroot> !anyone | shrikant
[11:18] <shrikant> can i install cluster and node on 1 system
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> why anyone would download from youtube is beyond me
[11:19] <mako-sama> Blinkee: taking a snapshot with dd won't kill you (or the hdd).  but the image it produces might not be very good
[11:19] <christ_> does there exist a way to play video on top of console text while the console has keyboard focus?
[11:19] <mako-sama> ActionParsnip: to watch things offline
[11:19] <Blinkee> ActionParsnip if i want to play along with an acoustic with youtube its best to download it and play it later on
[11:20] <meatbun> how to use short cut keys to go up one folder in nautilus? windows use control left arrow
[11:20] <christ_> (i want to full screen my videos but also be able to use my console)
[11:20] <rww> meatbun: Alt-up arrow
[11:20] <bitcrusher> I think it might already be set to 'backspace'
[11:20] <bitcrusher> might be wrong tho
[11:20] <meatbun> rwlove_, t
[11:20] <meatbun> rww, thx. it works.
[11:21] <bitcrusher> no... im wrong
[11:21] <meatbun> it wasnot working on first try and i gave up
[11:21] <Blinkee> mako-sama so booting with a live ubuntu cd and doing the dd that way is best/safest then?
[11:21] <Wipster> How can I direct the sound coming from one program to one output in pulse audio and all other sounds to another device?
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> mako-sama: i have a web connection all over the place in my house ;)
[11:22] <magnetron> hi, how do i regenerate the thumbnails for the files in a folder, with nautilus (GNOME)?
[11:22] <mako-sama> Blinkee: safest for your image.  your hdd won't be affected anyway
[11:22] <mako-sama> ActionParsnip: not all people have that, also I know people who pay $27/GB so downloading stuff from youtube is logica if you want to watch it more than once or if you want someone else to watch it
[11:22] <mako-sama> logical*
[11:22] <Blinkee> ok. im just going to dd to the same hdd(just /home) but that should be ok
[11:23] <Blinkee> live, of course
[11:23] <jozefk> magnetron: F5
[11:23] <jozefk> :)
[11:23] <magnetron> jozefk: sadly not
[11:23] <Blinkee> Wipster, you have more than 1 sound card?
[11:23] <shrikant> ubottu: cloud
[11:23] <jozefk> then it's in settings
[11:23] <nelson8874> why is the internet not working on my laptop? the modem connected to my pc works fine. The two are working on Karmic Koala.
[11:24] <Blinkee> need more info nelson8874
[11:24] <Wipster> Blinkee, I have a usb phone/mic and want my VoIP program which ever one I am using to pipe the sound out to the phones speaker and system sounds out of the computer speakers
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> mako-sama: yowser
[11:25] <mako-sama> Blinkee: you can do it with the livecd or you can do it normally.  it won't affect your hdd and if you moung the partition you want to backup as read-only, then the image you produce will be perfect without the need for livecd ;)
[11:25] <shrikant> ubottu: help
[11:26] <Blinkee> normally?  you mean as a standalone(runlevel 1) session?  ya lost me :P
[11:26] <Blinkee> Wipster, if u cant do it in the system, a vbox vm would work(u can assign usb ports to vm's)
[11:26] <mako-sama> Blinkee: by normally, I mean without the need for a livecd.    which partition do you want to backup?
[11:27] <Blinkee> mount /
[11:27] <Blinkee> > /home
[11:27] <eddie128> Hi.  I did something dumb.   Changed the permissions of the /etc/sudoers file now I can't sudo.   Causes a segmentation fault.  Does anyone known how to su root or login as root under ubuntu?
[11:27] <Blinkee> sorry... / > /home
[11:27] <FunkyWeasel> Good morning.  I was just listening to last.fm on ibex when my sound started looping over >1sec.  It looks like Pulseaudio has died (again) - from the Pulseaduio manager I no longer see a server listed, connecting back to my local pulseaudio service but it times out.  Is there a way to get pulseaudio (or any audio) working without a reboot, and is there any way I can stop my sound sponteneously failing?  I've got to say I am really unim
[11:27] <mako-sama> Blinkee: then it's simple. remount / as read-only and dd an image to /home
[11:27] <Blinkee> eddie128, use live boot cd and change it that way
[11:28] <eddie128> blinkee  Cool.  Will do it now.  bbak.
[11:28] <mako-sama> Blinkee: doing it in single user mode doesn't hurt
[11:28] <Blinkee> ok mako-sama u can make / read only even while the system(gnome) is up?  gnome/xorg wont complain?
[11:28] <vvpalin> hi question .. i have 2 nic cards, both are plugged into different routers, i run vmware-server .. and i would like my vmserver to use 1 network while my box uses the other, i have vmware server all setup and everything however it seems as tho all my traffic is being forwarded over that network via the other one .. could i change this with just a route command, or do i need iptables involved ?
[11:28] <Blinkee> in the end, id love to run a script to do this while i take a break from the machine mako-sama
[11:29] <mako-sama> Blinkee: gnome/xorg should not complain.
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> vvpalin: I'd ask in #vmware its a config in the vmware settings, not the VM session
[11:29] <Wipster> Blinkee, thanks for the help I am unsure how to do it in the system, it must be possible as pulse can identify a program which is recording or playing, not a massive jump to assign a output device for that program. I would like to avoid using a vm if possible
[11:29] <mako-sama> Blinkee: unless you have /tmp in /
[11:29] <Wazzzaaa> I connect to my windows box with "Terminal Server Client". How can I copy paste from ubuntu in  windows?
[11:29] <vvpalin> no ActionParsnip its not a vmware question its a routing question ... if you have 2 network cards how do you specify which one your box uses
[11:30] <nelson88741> Blinkee: the internet works fine on my pc. Out of the Box! But it doesn't work on the Laptop. It tryis the connection (little icon spinning) and then just says it's disconnected....
[11:30] <FunkyWeasel> Should I abandon pulseaudio and go back to ALSA, which admitedly was giving me as many problems?
[11:30] <Blinkee> ok. 1 last question(i think) as i think i got it... how do i remount / (while live)as read-only?         ------ i made ./tmp its own mount in partition.
[11:30] <nelson88741> Blinkee: don't know what more to say
[11:30] <Blinkee> Wipster, i hear ya, my answer is quick n dirty >:D
[11:30] <CHESLYN> mako-sama: okay what command must i execute with the name of the device.....please
[11:31] <Haert> hey
[11:31] <Haert> I have a folder iw ant to zip and send to a windows machine to then unzip
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> vvpalin: do you want the  traffic to the virtual machine to use one NIC and the host to use another for traffic?
[11:31] <mako-sama> Blinkee: mount -o remount,ro,ADD_OTHER_OPTIONS_YOU_WANT /dev/XXX /
[11:31] <Haert> HOW DO I ZIP A FOLDER IN UBUNTU.
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> !caps | Haert
[11:31] <mako-sama> haha :P
[11:31] <FunkyWeasel> Pulseaudio?  Anyone?
[11:31] <Blinkee> Wipster, perhaps another voip app has option to redirect audio output.  if you arent set on one app.
[11:31] <nelson88741> the internet works fine on my pc. Out of the Box! But it doesn't work on the Laptop. It tryis the connection (little icon spinning) and then just says it's disconnected. How do i solve this?
[11:32] <Haert> How do i zip a folder in ubuntu
[11:32] <ActionParsnip> Haert: better
[11:32] <Blinkee> nelson88741, wired or wireless?
[11:32] <nelson88741> wired
[11:32] <vvpalin> ActionParsnip, yes exactly
[11:32] <CosmiChaos> nelson88741, connect lan-cable?
[11:32] <Blinkee> does cable you have in laptop work in pc?
[11:32] <Blinkee> so we know a signal is there?
[11:32] <nelson88741> CosmiChaos: yes
[11:33] <nelson88741> Blinkee: yes
[11:33] <CosmiChaos> nelson88741, have you got a router with mac-address filter activated?
[11:33]  * Blinkee has to read up on mount syntax.
[11:33] <ActionParsnip> vvpalin: tat is a config in the ESX software, you assign the NIC to the guest system
[11:33] <Wazzzaaa> I connect to my windows box with "Terminal Server Client". How can I copy/paste from ubuntu in windows?
[11:34] <Wipster> Blinkee, yeh perhaps I use skype for work :( and that only has the option of the local pulse server. I shall copy my Q to the pulse channel and see what happens. Thanks
[11:34] <FunkyWeasel> Anyone know anything about Pulseaudio?
[11:34] <FunkyWeasel> At this point I'd even accept "lol it sux"
[11:34] <CosmiChaos> its a audio server
[11:34] <vvpalin> ActionParsnip, thank you .. i asked in vmware and they actually told me to just bring up the adapter and not dhcp it
[11:34] <vvpalin> thank you for your help
[11:34] <nelson88741> i do not quite understand what you are saying, but i think i get it. I will try to turn the modem off and turn it on again but connected to the laptop
[11:34] <Blinkee> vvpalin, good to know. :)
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> Haert: zip -r name_of_file.zip folder
[11:35] <CosmiChaos> nelson88741, a mac-address filters only allows listed devices to log into your subnet.
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> vvpalin: np man, the OS only sees the NIC you give it, the config of that card is configured in the VMWare software
[11:35] <FunkyWeasel> CosmiChaos: Excellent, thank you.  How well supported is it, roughly?  Should I use ALSA instead?  I have audio problems that need a reboot of my machine daily.
[11:35] <CosmiChaos> nelson88741, if you have such add the nic-mac of your laptop to that list
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> Haert: or you can right click the folder and find some goodies there ;)
[11:36] <nelson88741> i will be right back to say you sommething
[11:36] <FunkyWeasel> CosmiChaos: Excellent, thank you.  How well supported is it, roughly?  Should I use ALSA instead?  I have audio problems that need a reboot of my machine daily.
[11:36] <CHESLYN> mako-sama: ?
[11:37] <FunkyWeasel> CosmiChaos: Alternatively - do you have any idea why pulseaudio would sponteneously fail every 24-48 hrs?
[11:37] <CosmiChaos> FunkyWeasel, see its default in ubuntu, so for ubuntu it is good dupported, ont know what your question is targetting aout
[11:37] <CosmiChaos> no
[11:38] <Blinkee> anyone here have the SoundBlaster X-Fi installed?
[11:38] <mako-sama> CHESLYN: mkfs.msdos -F32 /dev/device_name
[11:38] <FunkyWeasel> CosmiChaos: Looking around the ubuntu forums it looks like alot of people have hard-to-resolve audio problems.  Is audio such a problem on linux still?
[11:38] <vvpalin> ActionParsnip, exactly, i have mine setup to bridge to eth1 so all the dhcp is handled by the vm-os
[11:38] <Balsaq> 2.8 intel p4 512ram NO graphics card...can this compuer play online videos...hulu, youtube etc...?
[11:38] <CosmiChaos> FunkyWeasel, i have no problems with pulseaudio
[11:38] <CHESLYN> mako-sama: thanks i'll try it
[11:38] <Blinkee> FunkyWeasel, im still deciding to drop my X-Fi in or stick with the on-board(realtek) device to avoid problems...
[11:38] <ActionParsnip> Balsaq: it won't boot
[11:39] <Balsaq> oh great
[11:39] <ActionParsnip> Balsaq: systems MUST have a video output or it will fail POST
[11:39] <FunkyWeasel> CosmiChaos: Do you use  onboard or pci soundcard?
[11:39] <Blinkee> Balsaq, i think HD would be choppy
[11:39] <Balsaq> thats the one i am getting to work on today for my friend
[11:39] <ActionParsnip> Balsaq: if it has onboard video it will be fine
[11:39] <CosmiChaos> FunkyWeasel, onboard hda_intel
[11:39] <Balsaq> it has onboard intel extreme with 32-64 mb onboard
[11:39] <Blinkee> ActionParsnip, i think he meant local video
[11:39] <FunkyWeasel> CosmiChaos: Likewise!
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> Balsaq: then it will boot, thats is a graphics cards
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> *card
[11:40] <mobal> hi'
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> Blinkee: local video?
[11:40] <FunkyWeasel> CosmiChaos: MCP61 High Definition Audio to be exact.
[11:40] <Blinkee> FunkyWeasel, do u have a pci audio card to test with?
[11:40] <Balsaq> it is a dell dimension 2400...it has no dedicated graphics card only the integrated one that is on the motherboard
[11:40] <Blinkee> drop it in and see if problems go away?
[11:40] <CosmiChaos> ActionParsnip, i dont think a onboard craphics device is a graphic CARD
[11:40] <Balsaq> no agp card
[11:40] <CosmiChaos> its a onboard-chip, not a card
[11:41] <Blinkee> CosmiChaos, sure it is. a chipset is a chipset
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> CosmiChaos: it is seen as one in the OS
[11:41] <Blinkee> yup
[11:41] <Balsaq> just the stock motherboard graphics called intel 3d extreme?
[11:41] <CosmiChaos> Blinkee, noooo, he said CARD, not chipset
[11:41] <Blinkee> heh
[11:41] <CosmiChaos> he said no graphics CARD... and he has none
[11:41] <Balsaq> no card...built in graphics
[11:41] <Kcwiro> Ok question... I have 2 7800 GT cards in this PC and when I try and install the nvidia stuff and reboot my terminal goes crazy and I cannot type I use rescue mode to force generic drivers back and it boots again and here I am... I am look ing at the logs and I think I may have an issue with it knowing what card of the two to use...curious if anyoen else has experienced this and any steps I can do please =)
[11:41] <FunkyWeasel> Blinkee: I've got a Yamaha pci card which was in there that I took out incase it was causing a conflict.  But whatever I try audio seems to die every 2 days tops.
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> CosmiChaos: the device is seen as a graphics card in the OS which is all that  matters, it also satisfys POST test and it will boot
[11:41] <CosmiChaos> ActionParsnip, Balsaq is not a OS but a user ;)
[11:42] <CosmiChaos> bla
[11:42] <Blinkee> the yamaha and the onboard audio both problematic FunkyWeasel ?
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> CosmiChaos: if its on a seperate card or not is moot
[11:42] <CosmiChaos> he has no CARD, got it???
[11:42] <yusuf> how can i register my nick ??
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> CosmiChaos: i know, its still moot
[11:42] <CHESLYN> mako-sama: the hole command just as you give me
[11:42] <Balsaq> i told him i wouldi am confused?
[11:42] <Blinkee> CosmiChaos, yeah i got it now :P
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> !register | yusuf
[11:42] <yusuf> !register yusuf
[11:42] <Kcwiro> !register Scooter
[11:43] <Kcwiro> =)_
[11:43] <FunkyWeasel> Blinkee: Tried both, both had similar problems.  Was initially just using ALSA, set up pulseaudio to see if it would be any better.  Am getting resigned to a daily restart.
[11:43] <Kcwiro> tha tis cool
[11:43] <Blinkee> no idea, i dont have audio issues on either rig :/
[11:43] <ActionParsnip> Balsaq: should be fine, not sure about performance with such low video ram
[11:43] <CosmiChaos> FunkyWeasel, did you tried sylog?
[11:43] <FunkyWeasel> CosmiChaos: Oh dear, that's a very good point.
[11:43] <Balsaq> here are the specs...dell dimension 2400 desktop, intel 2.8 p4, 80 HD, 512 ram, onboard graphics by intel extreme 3d 32-64 mb
[11:44] <bening> woow this is the best OS i ever had
[11:44] <Blinkee> onboard graphics :P.....
[11:44] <Balsaq> i am hoping the 2.8 size processor will help
[11:44] <Kcwiro> Ok question... I have 2 7800 GT cards in this PC and when I try and install the nvidia stuff and reboot my terminal goes crazy and I cannot type I use rescue mode to force generic drivers back and it boots again and here I am... I am looking at the logs and I think I may have an issue with it knowing what card of the two to use...curious if anyone else has experienced this and any steps I can do please =)
[11:44] <CosmiChaos> Balsaq, yeah thats enough for videos, but dont try to direct render a compiz desktop and watch videos on the net with it ;)
[11:44] <ActionParsnip> Balsaq: should be ok, wont be amazing. I suggest you run XUbuntu to giv maximum resources to your apps
[11:44] <Balsaq> which linux distro should i put in there?
[11:44] <CosmiChaos> Balsaq, any
[11:44] <Balsaq> how do i giv max resolution to graphics
[11:45] <Blinkee> lighter distro the better
[11:45] <bitcrusher> I'm looking to try getting into programming for ubuntu. The only experience of programming I have had before is a very little bit of C++ which I have now pretty much forgotten as well as some graphical programming in Pure-data. Can anyone recommend a good place to start?
[11:45] <Balsaq> cause thats what he does...watch videos
[11:45] <CosmiChaos> Balsaq, install vendors drivers and perhaps overclock
[11:45] <Blinkee> bitcrusher, python
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> Balsaq: you run a slicker desktop or distro
[11:45] <Balsaq> maybe linux mint?
[11:45] <bitcrusher> Python? is that quite self explanatory?
[11:45] <bening> i use lynx, but it is not faster than firefox. how to make it faster?
[11:45] <Blinkee> there is a ton(and i mean alot) of docs, help, forums bitcrusher
[11:46] <bitcrusher> I've heard of Python
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> Balsaq: no, something like puppy or damnsmall will be much lighter (if not as pretty) Xubuntu is fairly light too
[11:46] <Balsaq> or should i put him back in the xp home that he has completely messud up with virus?
[11:46] <bitcrusher> might have a look. cheers
[11:46] <CosmiChaos> Balsaq, you can tune any linux distribution to a light weigth system, the question which distro just DEPENDS on your personal mood
[11:46] <Blinkee> haha CosmiChaos
[11:46] <CosmiChaos> Balsaq, btw this is ubuntu chan
[11:46] <Balsaq> he has xp home but he gummed it up with virus'...real bad
[11:46] <noren> Balsaq, u can try ubuntu-minimal and over that u can use fluxbox
[11:47] <CosmiChaos> Balsaq, the microsoft virus i severywhere, we know
[11:47] <Balsaq> i figure ubuntu has the most drivers and software built in
[11:47] <bening> is there any text based web beside lynx?
[11:47] <CosmiChaos> bening, yes wget url.html
[11:47] <jrib> bening: w3m, links2, elinks
[11:48] <CosmiChaos> cat url.html :)
[11:48] <Balsaq> ok, never tried loading ubuntu without a graphics card...thanks
[11:48] <CosmiChaos> Balsaq, you have got a graphic chip thats enough
[11:48] <ActionParsnip> Balsaq: ubuntu is just another linux distro so many others will have the same driver supoprt
[11:48] <bening> woow thanks guys
[11:48] <Balsaq> ok...great
[11:49] <bitcrusher> whats the best IDE for python
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> !best | bitcrusher
[11:49] <iceroot> bitcrusher: there is no best
[11:49] <bitcrusher> well. which one should I get
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> bitcrusher: best is an opinion so is never concrete
[11:49] <bitcrusher> does it matter
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> bitcrusher: one which YOU like
[11:49] <iceroot> bitcrusher: just try some
[11:49] <bitcrusher> I dont know
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> bitcrusher: asYOU will be the one using it
[11:49] <bitcrusher> does it matter
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> bitcrusher: try a few
[11:50] <iceroot> bitcrusher: then use vim or go to #python
[11:50] <bitcrusher> fair enough
[11:50] <ActionParsnip> bitcrusher: well yes it matters, if the layout of one is less intuitive than another to you then it will slow your progress
[11:50] <noren> is there anyway to configure the bandwidth allocation to different apps in ubuntu
[11:50] <Blinkee> bitcrusher, no it doesnt matter.  itll matter once you try them out
[11:50] <CosmiChaos> ActionParsnip, the many choices of linux confuse and overchain people
[11:50] <CosmiChaos> :)
[11:50] <ActionParsnip> bitcrusher: try a few, evaluate then use the one you like
[11:51] <ActionParsnip> CosmiChaos: true but i disagree with telling people what to think
[11:51] <FunkyWeasel> CosmiChaos: Found a likely looking culprits from the kernal in syslog around the time sound started looping, ppdev0: registered pardevice; ppdev0: unregistered pardevice; hda-intel: IRQ timing workaround is activated for card #0. Suggest a bigger bdl_pos_adj;  Not sure what ppdev0 is, but the latter looks like a known bug.
[11:51] <ActionParsnip> CosmiChaos: and really disagree with the word "best"
[11:51] <CosmiChaos> ActionParsnip, people like to not think what the need, they want somebody who dictates what is best :)
[11:51] <FunkyWeasel> Actually, what the donkey is a ppdev0 when it's at home?
[11:51] <ActionParsnip> CosmiChaos: I know, its sad
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> CosmiChaos: using an OS with so much choice then have to have another user dictate what software they use
[11:52] <FunkyWeasel> I'd settle for "working" chaps ;)
[11:52] <noren> i think my query got lost in the BEST discussion
[11:52] <noren> is there anyway to configure the bandwidth allocation to different apps in ubuntu
[11:53] <CosmiChaos> yup, "oh wait i have never used public software before, i never FIND out by myself, whats available what the pros and cons are...please LEAD me!
[11:53] <CosmiChaos> :)))))
[11:53] <ActionParsnip> !info wondershaper
[11:53] <CosmiChaos> to much choice waaaaah
[11:53] <ActionParsnip> CosmiChaos: exactly! HI5
[11:54] <CosmiChaos> no advertises waaaaah
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> !info trickle
[11:54] <epinky> noren: you'll some QoS knowledge, anyway you can use l7-filter
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> noren: there are 2 option
[11:54] <CosmiChaos> damn there is no linux software at all, nobody sells them, nobody advertises them, they cannot exists :)
[11:54] <CosmiChaos> -s
[11:54] <Blinkee> whats best l7-filter or wondershaper?
[11:55]  * Blinkee is kidding....
[11:55] <noren> l7-filter
[11:55] <CosmiChaos> may i start a flamewar? whats the best irc-app? :) round one... fight!
[11:56] <iceroot> !ot | CosmiChaos
[11:56] <CosmiChaos> i know im sry
[11:56] <iceroot> CosmiChaos: ok
[11:56] <FunkyWeasel> Ah, damn, need to reboot and get some work done.  :( Cheers for the help at least.
[11:56] <CosmiChaos> iceroot, tell this to the people talking offtopic the hole day
[11:56] <FunkyWeasel> Still don't know why it's going wrong, but at least I have something to look up now :)
[11:57] <iceroot> CosmiChaos: i am and now lets stop chatting ot
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> !clone > Consul_Falx
[11:58] <FunkyWeasel> No doubt I will return in a few days in a vain attempt to sort out my sound problems before an inevitable windows-style reboot-to-sort-my-typically-esoteric-linux-problem. :D
[11:59] <Kcwiro> Ok question... I have 2 7800 GT cards in this PC and when I try and install the nvidia stuff and reboot my terminal goes crazy and I cannot type I use rescue mode to force generic drivers back and it boots again and here I am... I am looking at the logs and I think I may have an issue with it knowing what card of the two to use...curious if anyone else has experienced this and any steps I can do please =)
[11:59] <Kcwiro> 9.10 ubuntu =)
[12:02] <ActionParsnip> is it ok to just delete ~/.xsession-errors   ?
[12:03] <ActionParsnip> then maybe use touch to make a new one?
[12:03] <Ryan1> How do I render a movie in Kdenlive? Clicking the Render button only brings up options and doesn't let me actually render anything. The only button is Close.
[12:04] <ActionParsnip> Kcwiro: could try the 190 driver: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-nvidia-graphics-drivers-190-42-in-ubuntu-karmicjauntyintrepidhardy.html
[12:04] <Ryan1> Here's a screenshot of the rendering dialog it gives me: http://linuxmag.s3.amazonaws.com/i/articles/7413/kdenlive-rendering.jpg
[12:04] <bitcrusher> Right. i've installed Python 3.1 but I can find the icon to start up the interpreter. However I went to the Terminal and typed python and Its come up with loads of stuff in there. should I be using a dedicated app for programming or do i just do it in the terminal
[12:05] <Kcwiro> ActionParsnip: Will try those see if they behave better
[12:05] <ActionParsnip> bitcrusher: if you want an IDE you must install it seperately
[12:06] <iceroot> bitcrusher: use an editor/ide
[12:06] <a931bw1> Hey guys
[12:06] <a931bw1> Need help
[12:06] <iceroot> !ask | a931bw1

[12:10] <EsatYuce> hi
[12:10] <a931bw1> You're joking?
[12:10] <a931bw1> it was last cd
[12:10] <a931bw1> :\
[12:10] <bitcrusher> and run a CD integrity test at start-up
[12:10] <a931bw1> i havent any OS >.>
[12:10] <bitcrusher> lol. the old last CD issue... gutted
[12:10] <Kcwiro> Rebooting wish me luck guys =)
[12:10] <Ryan1> You could try installing without booting into the live desktop
[12:10] <bitcrusher> go to the shop and buy some more cd's
[12:10] <a931bw1> i did it
[12:11] <a931bw1> but it just opened livecd
[12:11] <bitcrusher> safe
[12:11] <Consul_Falx> kay
[12:11] <Consul_Falx> seems like I have to reinstall
[12:11] <bitcrusher> doesnt take too long
[12:11] <Ryan1> So can anyone explain to me how to render a movie in Kdenlive?
[12:11] <Grepsd|BNC> Hi
[12:12] <a931bw1> i pressed INSTALL UBUNTU>SOMETHING LOADED>OPENED LIVECD>Install Ubuntu9.0>INSTALL JUST CLOSES
[12:12] <Kcwiro> Action .... you ar ethe man... it worked =)
[12:12] <Grepsd|BNC> I'm using release 9.10 but i'm losing connection many times
[12:13] <Grepsd|BNC> does anyone heard about something like that ?
[12:13] <Kcwiro> spoke to soon =(
[12:13] <jessicasco> may I ask a question about C
[12:13] <jessicasco> ?
[12:13] <mercentile> the language?
[12:13] <bitcrusher> dont ask... just ask
[12:13] <Kcwiro> cannot get the 3d visual effects owrkign.. I will tinker some more and checkout the logs
[12:13] <jessicasco> #include <time.h>
[12:13] <jessicasco> #include <stdio.h>
[12:13] <jessicasco> #include <stdlib.h>
[12:13] <jessicasco> int main()
[12:13] <jessicasco> {
[12:13] <jessicasco> 	while(1){
[12:13] <FloodBot5> jessicasco: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:14] <meatbun> how to config gnome terminal to use control-tab to switch tabs? instead of default control-up-page?
[12:14] <jessicasco> why the output is always 0?
[12:14] <Wipster> Blinkee, I have found the solution to the audio routing, first I set system to my normal sound card, then I installed pavucontrol and initalised the skypetest call, in playback I changed the output sink for the skype application to my skype phone and dito for recording
[12:14] <jrib> jessicasco: ##c for questions about C
[12:14] <bitcrusher> right I've installed Python interpreter v2.6 now how do I open it?
[12:15] <jrib> bitcrusher: « python »
[12:15] <bitcrusher> cant find it in my apps menu
[12:15] <bitcrusher> cheers
[12:15] <jrib> bitcrusher: Applications -> Terminal
[12:15] <superkuh> I don't have a wireless card. How do I remove or turn off wpasupplicant in 9.04 without removing all the GUI network configuration toos?
[12:15] <superkuh> tools.
[12:15] <bitcrusher> and then type "python" right
[12:15] <mercentile> jessicasco, the prog didn't list entire.
[12:15] <jrib> bitcrusher: yes
[12:15] <Ryan1> bitcrusher: Python isn't an interface, it reads an existing text file and runs the code
[12:15] <mercentile> probably a printf error, most likely.
[12:16] <Ryan1> bitcrusher: You can use any text editor to write the script
[12:16] <jessicasco> mercentile: then how to output?
[12:16] <epinky> !pastebin > jessicasco
[12:16] <bitcrusher> ok cool. so my terminal will do the job then
[12:16] <meatbun> it does not take control tav
[12:16] <meatbun> it does not take control tab
[12:16] <bitcrusher> can I use Open Office then?
[12:16] <Grepsd|BNC> -.-
[12:17] <mercentile> printf %d is for decimal output, ... printf ("Text %d", var_int_for_%d, arguments);
[12:17] <jrib> bitcrusher: read the tutorial at http://docs.python.org
[12:17] <Grepsd|BNC> Does anyone had heard about a network issue on karmic release ?
[12:17] <mercentile> if the variable is anything but an integer, 0 stabilizers the ERRORs
[12:17] <jrib> Grepsd|BNC: check http://bugs.ubuntu.com
[12:17] <Grepsd|BNC> thanks
[12:18]  * Consul_Falx is always so sorry when having to reinstall...
[12:19] <Kcwiro> ActionParsnip: No luck it seems the drivers are installed but the nvidia tool is saying i don't appear to be using it ... ideas?
[12:20] <titan_> What program can I use to monitor the HTTP traffic of another computer on my home network? I have the IP of the computer, I just need to know what program will do this.
[12:20] <Ryan1> titan_: Wireshark
[12:20] <titan_> Ryan1, thanks
[12:20] <jadakren> titan_: jnettop
[12:20] <ActionParsnip> Kcwiro: i can send you my xorg.conf if you want. I have to use it to make my display run
[12:20] <titan_> jadakren, thanks
[12:20] <mercentile> jessicasco, if your type-casting is off, that could also be a problem.  Causes memory leaks...
[12:20] <ActionParsnip> Kcwiro:
[12:20] <ActionParsnip> http://pastebin.com/f55378274
[12:20] <jessicasco> mercentile:  thank you..
[12:21] <Kcwiro> Sure
[12:21] <jadakren> titan_: wireshark and jnettop will sow you two different aspects of the traffic. jnettop for real time and wireshark for long term loggin and analysis
[12:21] <jther171> hello
[12:21] <MyGame> hello
[12:21] <titan_> jadakren, ah ok. Thanks. I think I will use jnettop for what I need to do.
[12:22] <Wipster> ok pulseaudio rocks, I love it
[12:22] <jther171> nice to meet yous
[12:22] <jadakren> titan_: you also have etherape for real time analysis
[12:22] <Kcwiro> ActionParsnip: What video card do you got?
[12:22] <jessicasco> mercentile:   printf("%ld\n", clock()/CLOCKS_PER_SEC);    but the return type "clock_t" is long...I checked...
[12:22] <titan_> jadakren, ok I will keep that one in mind. Thanks
[12:22] <Kcwiro> I am assumign my projector I using as monitor will figure this out... but I will backup my existing just to be safe incase for whatever reason I brick
[12:22] <jther171> who know how to enumerate users in server?help me
[12:23] <jadakren> titan_: but did you want to keep track of bandwidth usage or just see the traffic types ?
[12:23] <Dr_Willis> jther171:  clarify what you mean to the channel.
[12:23] <jadakren> !info bandwidthd | titan_
[12:23] <ActionParsnip> Kcwiro: nvidia 6150
[12:24] <Kcwiro> ActionParsnip: and you use SLI?
[12:24] <ActionParsnip> Kcwiro: for somme unknown reason my monitor doesn't tell my system refresh rates so I need to manually fill it in
[12:24] <mercentile> if you get zero, then it may be a sync error somewhere.
[12:24] <ActionParsnip> Kcwiro: no but the config will help some
[12:24] <mercentile> time_0 prevents corruption of data_Time_Stamps.
[12:24] <mercentile> could be viral activity.
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> Kcwiro: if not you can always rename the folder to use the open driver
[12:25] <Kcwiro> ActionParsnip: well if i get my visual effects working with this I will be happy
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> Kcwiro: its free to try
[12:25] <mercentile> especially financial, where algorithms calculate interest, as this could be extremely important'e
[12:25] <mercentile> important.
[12:26] <Oyoz> how can i get and intall the latest google earth for ubuntu 9.10?????
[12:27] <Dr_Willis> Oyoz:  google has doenloads you could use.  I think it might be on the repositories that google hosts also
[12:27] <jadakren> Oyoz: you mean of course one newer than in the repositories?
[12:27] <Oyoz> yes
[12:28] <jadakren> Oyoz: have you tried visiting the download page for google earth?
[12:28] <Oyoz> where is the same repository???
[12:28] <Oyoz> no.not yet
[12:28] <Dr_Willis> deb http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ stable main non-free #Google Repository
[12:28] <kjelle> give me a god damn good reason for upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10
[12:28] <Dr_Willis> is whaat i got added. Not sure what all is in there.
[12:28] <kjelle> wtf is the difference? everything is just the same all the back to 8.x, possily 7.x
[12:28] <leaf-sheep> kjelle: The koalas.
[12:29] <Dr_Willis> kjelle:   Then dont upgrade.. we dont care.
[12:29] <riotcat> if you need somebody to give you a reason, don't upgrade
[12:29] <jadakren> kjelle: +1
[12:29] <Kcwiro> ActionParsnip: rebooting to to try config
[12:29] <kjelle> Dr_Willis: im not asking you, im asking the general ubuntu community..
[12:29] <bazhang> kjelle, please watch the language
[12:29] <riotcat> and plenty has changed from the versions released in 2008 to those released in 2009
[12:29] <Dr_Willis> kjelle:  i imagine they dont care either.
[12:29] <kjelle> Dr_Willis: then we are all doomed :9
[12:29] <jrib> kjelle: no one is telling you to upgrade and you shouldn't if you don't have your own reason to
[12:30] <jadakren> kjelle: maybe you would find more acepting replies in #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:30] <jrib> kjelle: the only time you should upgrade is when the version you are on is about to become unsupported
[12:30] <Dr_Willis> 9.10 cured my dog of the mange.
[12:32] <meatbun> what's a good terminal that use tab? for commandline?
[12:32] <Dr_Willis> meatbun:  you mean tabs for multi windows? theres several terminal-emulators that use tabs.
[12:33] <jrib> meatbun: gnome-terminal has tabs.  Just using screen is a nice alternative
[12:33] <Dr_Willis> meatbun:  i also like the features of 'terminator'
[12:33] <meatbun> Dr_Willis, ya. i try to fix the binding key for gnome. it doesn't work.
[12:33] <Dr_Willis> meatbun:  clarify the actual problem. perhaps theres a fix.
[12:33] <meatbun> jrib, no. i am use to firefox tab style
[12:33] <jrib> meatbun: gnome-terminal does that...
[12:34] <meatbun> Dr_Willis, i found the fix. the fix no work. let me post link
[12:34] <jessicasco> mercentile:   I think there is something wrong using "sleep" and "clock" together
[12:34] <MrNaz> new clean install of karmic... spell checking is not working in openoffice, but is working in xchat, pidgin and other programs... what do i need to do ?
[12:34] <meatbun> http://www.jennyandlih.com/unresolved-ctrl-tab-gnome-terminal
[12:34] <meatbun> here's the fix. the fix no work.
[12:34] <meatbun> it now says 'disable'
[12:34] <Dr_Willis> meatbun:  whats ctrl-tab supposed to do?
[12:34] <jadakren> meatbun: its ctrl+shift+t
[12:35] <Dr_Willis> in terminator ctrl-tab goes from one terminal window to the next.
[12:36] <meatbun> Dr_Willis, ok. i ll install terminator. now. i want tab to cycle....
[12:36] <meatbun> jadakren, that's for new tab
[12:36] <Dr_Willis> meatbun:  tab by itself is used by bash for completion.
[12:36] <ActionParsnip> MrNaz: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=204550&page=3
[12:36] <jadakren> meatbun: did you try the first suggestion on that page? use xfterm4?
[12:37] <meatbun> Dr_Willis, ya. i want to use control tab to switch to next tab
[12:37] <meatbun> jadakren, i am about to use xfterm
[12:37] <jadakren> meatbun: seems to be a very quick work around
[12:37] <MrNaz> ActionParsnip myspell-en-au is installed already, i've checked the basics
[12:37] <meatbun> jadakren, i am installing terminator now...
[12:38] <jadakren> meatbun: the other thing you could do to make keybindings easier to impliment is to use openbox instead of metacity. but this depends on how attached to metacity you currently are
[12:38] <meatbun> Dr_Willis, so i installed terimator, how to lanuch it?
[12:38] <Dr_Willis> meatbun:  logical answer.  the 'terminator icon thats now in the menus'
[12:38] <ActionParsnip> MrNaz: Go to Tools --> Options --> Language settings -->Writing Aids. Place a check against check spelling as you type. Hit OK and restart open office writer.

[12:39] <Dr_Willis> !info terminator
[12:39] <meatbun> Dr_Willis, i just ran it. it looks like xterm
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> meatbun:  time to learn about its features. I suggest checking its homepage/docs/guides.
[12:39] <meatbun> :(
[12:39] <researcher> I am  behind a firewall of our college. I have provided user name and password for network authentication but still I cant update.It reports authentication failure.Please help me update my system
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> what do you expect a terminal-emulator  program to look like?
[12:40] <meatbun> expect it to be a plugin for gnome terminal
[12:40] <Dr_Willis> ctually its a wrapper for gnome-terminal
[12:40] <meatbun> i read about it some time ago. but i choose to use screen instead
[12:40] <meatbun> to split screen
[12:40] <researcher> im away for a while .Please excuse me
[12:41] <MrNaz> ActionParsnip tick is already there, and there is no "Install Dictionaries" in my wizards sub menu... that being said, i've already confirmed that its there
[12:41] <meatbun> jadakren, what is openbox?
[12:41] <aaron11> Hi I want to know how to change my GDM theme? I cannot do this in Karmic Koala. This is a bummer!!! Please tell me how. :)
[12:41] <jadakren> meatbun screen is not really the same thing as gnome-terminal or terminator...
[12:41] <Dr_Willis> !info byobu
[12:41] <ActionParsnip> MrNaz: all i can do is websearch as I don't use the software, maybe someone else can contribute
[12:42] <bigmack83_> in k9copy if i burn a dvd/iso using 'copy' with 2 pass how does the quality compare to using x264 or xvid
[12:42] <Dr_Willis> aaron11:  theres minor changes you can do to it. but its not as themable as the old gdm.
[12:42] <meatbun> jadakren, i wanted to do split screen a few months ago. and i came across terminator. but then i decide to use screen instead
[12:42] <Dr_Willis> aaron11:  you can easially change the wallpaper.  and the xsplash images.  or you could install the old gdm. (not suggested)
[12:42] <meatbun> but now i want to use multi tab
[12:42] <Dr_Willis> Terminator can do tabs. and split screens
[12:43] <MrNaz> ActionParsnip that's ok... ive scoured all the google results already... i think i'm actually up against a bug as the US dictionary seems to work but the Australian one does not, both were installed when the OS was installed, as en-AU is my locale
[12:43] <CHESLYN> mako-sama: must i use the hole command  you give me a while ago.becoz im struggling since since
[12:43] <aaron11> Dr_Willis: So you mean I cant change it to a theme that I got from gnome-look?
[12:44] <Dr_Willis> aaron11:  the old gdm themes do NOT work with the new GDM in 9.10
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> MrNaz: log a bug
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> aaron11: how long do you actually see the logon screen for?
[12:44] <Kcwiro> ActionParsnip: No luck I got a flashing screen again I am checkign my logs now
[12:44] <Dr_Willis> I tweaked my gdm wallpaper and xsplash animations :) looks nicer now.
[12:45] <Dr_Willis>   /usr/share/images/xsplash    is where the gdm wallpaper and xsplas gfx are at. theres sevarl alternative xsplash gfx out now. and the tool 'epidermis' can also change  things  for gdm and xsplash
[12:46] <rags> Is there a way I can reserve some free space on a partition? Such that no process or user can use that space?
[12:46] <meatbun> god.....!!@#@!# i am switching to xfc
[12:46] <Dr_Willis> rags:  make a parttion and dont  mount it? :)
[12:46] <Dr_Willis> meatbun:  do what you want. Have fun.
[12:47] <aaron11> ActionParsnip: I can logon by clicking on my name and then typing the password. I want to change my theme to somthing else than the old look
[12:47] <ActionParsnip> aaron11: but how long is it on the screen for?
[12:47] <Dr_Willis> epidermis theme manager tool -> http://epidermis.tuxfamily.org/
[12:47] <aaron11> ActionParsnip: Lol! Its for ever if you want it to
[12:48] <Dr_Willis> aaron11:  either use the old gdm, or  dont worry about it.. or set gdm to auto login
[12:48] <jozefk> anyone using Midori browser here? What is the good way for blocking ads in Midori?
[12:48] <rags> Dr_Willis: The reason I want this is I have a disk with heavy disk usage and it get's full all the time...but due to this some jobs on the system fail, which depend on free space being available...
[12:48] <researcher>  I am  behind a firewall of our college. I have provided user name and password for network authentication but still I cant update.It reports authentication failure.Please help me update my system
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> aaron11: just grit yourteeth while you log in. its a login screen. is it really worth it
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> researcher: i believe you need to add the proxy authentication to apt as well
[12:48] <meatbun> epididymis ? Dr_Willis
[12:49] <Dr_Willis> rags:  sounds like you need more disks :)
[12:49] <Dr_Willis> epidermis theme manager tool -> http://epidermis.tuxfamily.org/
[12:49] <meatbun> haha
[12:49] <aaron11> ActionParsnip: ??? Ok. o_O
[12:49] <Dr_Willis> as in the medical name for 'skin'
[12:49] <ActionParsnip> researcher: or use export to set the http_proxy and ftp_proxy variables
[12:49] <researcher> how to add proxy authentication to apt?
[12:49] <ActionParsnip> aaron11: its fairly pointless to skin something which isnt on the screen much
[12:49] <rags> Dr_Willis: haha...yeah...tht is solution too..but the users never have enough space...:)
[12:50] <researcher> or How to use export to set the http_proxy and ftp_proxy variables?
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> researcher: http://blogs.sun.com/avinashjoshi/entry/using_apt_get_behind_a
[12:50] <Dr_Willis> rags:  this is why /home/ is often on its own partiion.  you could even move different users's homes to different partitions i guess.
[12:50] <meatbun> Dr_Willis, apt search did not have it in repository... :(
[12:50] <Dr_Willis> rags:   so the critical space could be used.
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> researcher: considering your name, its quite funny I had to find that don't you think?
[12:50] <Dr_Willis> meatbun:  Its not in the repos.. thats why i posted the URL.
[12:50] <donita> hi
[12:50] <donita> Hello everyone
[12:51] <meatbun> freaking gesshzzz crisisssi
[12:51] <rags> Dr_Willis: Can a restriction be put on a particular folder?...such that it's size cannot exceed a specified limit?
[12:51] <Dr_Willis> !ohmy | meatbun
[12:52] <Dr_Willis> rags:  never noticed or tried to do that. Never needed to.
[12:52] <Dr_Willis> rags:  id have to google for 'user drive space limits'   ;)
[12:53] <rags> Dr_Willis: Quota system is one...but I have multiple users using a common share...can't use quota's...hm..Thx anyway..I'll search and find out...
[12:53] <none444> Hello
[12:53] <Dr_Willis> rags:  i found 1+TB external hard drives on sale :) for good prices.. recently
[12:53] <Dr_Willis> Im out of USB ports now...
[12:54] <Infin1ty> Anyone know how can i set the desktop icons to auto adjust themself when changing resolutions? everytime i change a resolution via a virtualmachine they all gets messed up and sometimes even out of range
[12:54] <rags> haha...I'll definitely consider an upgrade...I have 1T and a .5T sas drives and they are not enough...:(
[12:55] <airtonix> jozefk, if no extension for midori exists i suggest using privoxy
[12:55] <christ_> 1tb is so cheap now, you can't even justify buying one without the purposes of running a torrent client for pirating music/videos.
[12:55] <airtonix> !info privoxy | jozefk
[12:55] <Dr_Willis> rags:  here on my desk i count 6TB in external USB hds :) got 2 on blackfriday
[12:55] <airtonix> jozefk, its also a web filtering proxy
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> Its hard to go 1tb.. when 1.5tb is just a little more. :) but i went 1TB.
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> Gotta love sales.
[12:57] <rags> Definitely...I suppose I should go for an upgrade then...the thing is these ppl don't need this much space..they just dump garbage there...
[12:57] <christ_> thats nothing, i have a rack of petabyte drives
[12:57] <Dr_Willis> rags:  the more space you have - the more they collect garbage
[12:57] <Dr_Willis> rags:  if i had a 100 car garrage.. the wife would still fill it up.
[12:58] <jozefk> thanks airtonix will try privoxy
[12:58] <airtonix> if i had an offtopic channel it still wouldn't get used
[12:58] <Kcwiro> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/m7d247e1e
[12:58] <jozefk> must to find some manual how to sett it up and use it :)
[12:59] <Dr_Willis> Privoxy is handy :)
[12:59] <Kcwiro> there is a log there I am curious what you think it means...
[12:59] <Kcwiro> ActionParsnip: there is a log there I am curious what you think it means...
[13:00] <ActionParsnip> Kcwiro: maybe you need to define which PCI reference it uses
[13:01] <epinky> rags: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=889765 , read Kidder's post, really ingenious I think
[13:01] <Kcwiro> I was thinking that might be the case... but the screen one made me think it not liking the manual entries for that
[13:01] <ActionParsnip> Kcwiro: sudo lshw -C display       should tell you
[13:02] <jozefk> installed privoxy but don't see it anywhere
[13:02] <jozefk> /etc/privoxy/config
[13:02] <jozefk> must be that is the one i need to start with :)
[13:03] <ceW_cr> medan
[13:03] <LjL> ceW_cr: again with this "medan"?
[13:03] <CHESLYN> ActionParsnip: i was wondering if you could of help me with a USB storage how to format it
[13:04] <rags> epinky: Very interesting...Much like wht I need actually....Thx...I'll try to do it...
[13:04] <textix> anyone know how to load evdev in ubuntu?
[13:04] <ActionParsnip> CHESLYN: gksudo gparted
[13:04] <textix> im just getting module not found
[13:04] <airtonix> jozefk, it has no GUI, its a proxy. so you will be editing conf files and using /etc/init.d/privoxy [stop|start|restart] to control it
[13:04] <CHESLYN> ActionParsnip: beside's that and GUI
[13:04] <amokpaule> Hello, does someone know if i need special drivers for a creative xifi?
[13:05] <Dr_Willis> jozefk:  privoxy homepage/docs are a must read. :)
[13:05] <airtonix> jozefk, helpful info : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Privoxy

[13:06] <textix> im just getting module not found
[13:06] <textix> anyone know how to load evdev in ubuntu?
[13:06] <airtonix> jozefk, and to clarify : you don;t need tor to use privoxy for just filtering out adverts
[13:06] <jozefk> if it is in init.d folder, does it means it will start by itself each time I boot my OS?
[13:07] <airtonix> jozefk, yes
[13:07] <quiescens> not neccesarily
[13:07] <Tixb_> lll
[13:07] <adac> My bash history is completely gone after every restart of the pc. Can anyone tell me what i need to set in the .bashrc file, so that the history will be saved?
[13:07] <jozefk> i will try first one other thing and if that won't work I'll go for privoxy
[13:07] <t-Omicr0n> jozefk, you can install sysv-rc-conf to configure what scripts in init.d you want to start at boot
[13:08] <jozefk> but in the mean time, how to stop it running each time I boot my OS?
[13:08] <airtonix> jozefk, but it will only affect http traffic that passes through its port. so you'll need to specify in firefox that <IP_ADDRESS>:9050 is the address of the proxy you want firefox to send its data through
[13:08] <jozefk> i use midori not firefox
[13:08] <jozefk> firefox has a perfect adblock plus
[13:08] <airtonix> jozefk, s/firefox/midori
[13:09] <jozefk> :)
[13:09] <airtonix> jozefk, same thing, they all have proxy configuration screens
[13:09] <textix> anyone familiar with the evdev module+

[13:14] <epinky> textix: what's edev's use in your case?
[13:14] <theadmin> fdisk? cat? Don't know any of those... Which should be used?
[13:14] <Consul_Falx> okay
[13:14] <airtonix> theadmin, use the mtab method
[13:14] <theadmin> airtonix: Okay, ty.
[13:14] <Consul_Falx> is it wise to keep the home folder upon reinstall?

[13:15] <theadmin> maxstirner: No, I need to find what is a USB cd-drive device.
[13:15] <Halitech> Consul_Falx, as long as you use the same username on reinstall you won't have any issue
[13:16] <theadmin> Uh. How do you link to devices? Do you use symlinks or hardlinks? I want to link to a thing in /dev, that is.
[13:16] <Consul_Falx> Halitech: i have weird issues with plasma, system performed a few uninstalls of my sound driver, and recently KDM collapsed...
[13:16] <Dr_Willis> theadmin:  i imagine symlinks will work.
[13:17] <Consul_Falx> seems like it's not at my force to undo all that, and I'm now deciding wether to configure all things over and over again, or to take the risk of using the old files...
[13:17] <Halitech> Consul_Falx, the /home folder only holds your personal data, you could try deleting the config files for kdm and see what happens
[13:17] <CHESLYN> anyone my packages is not working to get gparted so i want someone to help me with GUI.I execute ''dmesg'' to get my device name i did'nt  find it

[13:33] <KaiForce> ok, so I load karmic, and the first thing it does is tell me my hard drive is failing.  So I ignore that, and my hard drive fails.  So I pull an image that I built on a Compaq Evo, and slapped it into the IBM that had the drive fail, and everything just worked - video, audio, everything.  This isn't how it is supposed to be.  My morning should be ruined, and everything is fine.  Just sick.

[13:55] <dassouki> epinky: what should i do
[13:55] <nicorio> Hi. Maybe this isn't the right place. I don't know. Say I edit a file on line 300. I save and close the file. What I'd like (I think I saw that before) is that the next time I'll open the same file, the cursor would already be on line 300 (last edited). Is this a plugin or a different version of vi ?
[13:55] <ascianabhro> Halitech, will there be any section for driver name
[13:56] <darrend> dassouki: if you quit and restart the app, is it still missing?
[13:56] <dassouki> darrend: ya and even restarting the os
[13:56] <dassouki> darrend: it's all the java apps
[13:56] <darrend> plus pidgin?
[13:56] <awaad> Where is the file grub.conf in Ubuntu9.1 ?
[13:56] <dassouki> awaad: was that directed towards me ?
[13:56] <dassouki> darrend: yes
[13:57] <Halitech> ascianabhro, it would be the section device
[13:57] <epinky> dassouki: with java one never knows, maybe install latest java, jdk, jre or whatever
[13:57] <awaad> dassouki: I am asking any one to tell me how to find the file grub.conf ?
[13:57] <john-saint> my mp3 player wont get recognised when i plug it into the usb plug. anyone got any ideas?
[13:57] <ascianabhro> Halitech, you mean under Device beside identifier
[13:57] <ActionParsnip> awaad: /boot/grub
[13:57] <ascianabhro> I change it to "vesa"
[13:57] <darrend> awaad: /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[13:57] <scottandmonique> awaad if u need to change grub settings install startup manager
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> awaad: editting it is pointless tough
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> john-saint: does it show up as a partition in: sudo fdisk -l
[13:58] <Halitech> ascianabhro, yes, the first section
[13:58] <ascianabhro> thanks bro
[13:58] <luist> hey is it possible to use just one command to append a line to sources.list and update the repositories list?
[13:58] <ascianabhro> will try and keep you pple updated
[13:59] <john-saint> action - il try.
[13:59] <darrend> dassouki: which window-manager are you using?
[13:59] <ActionParsnip> luist: sudo echo "deb http://whatever stable non-free " | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list      for example
[13:59] <dassouki> awaad: do a search in system fies
[13:59] <dassouki> darrend: gnome
[14:00] <luist> ActionParsnip: thanks
[14:00] <ActionParsnip> john-saint: use tab to complete nicks ;)
[14:00] <awaad> How can I change the splash image in ubuntu9.1 ?
[14:00] <darrend> dassouki: wjicj *window-manager*?  there are several you could run in gnome.  Do you use Compiz / emerald for example?
[14:00] <ActionParsnip> luist: you will need to import the key too, karmic has a new way of adding repos in software sources but that method still works
[14:00] <darrend> *which
[14:01] <john-saint> actionpasnip - i think its cured
[14:01] <dassouki> darrend: no compiz here... don't like flashy crap
[14:01] <dassouki> darrend: it was a random thing
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> john-saint: cool
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> john-saint: still use tab to complete nicks in irc
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> john-saint: makes the text you send highlight
[14:02] <darrend> dassouki: what was random?  You said the behaviour persisted after restarts of the app or the OS
[14:02] <john-saint> how do i do that? quite new to all this
[14:03] <awaad> Any one can tell  me how to put an image as a background of grub in ubuntu9.1 ?
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> john-saint: type actionp then press tab, saves you typing the rest
[14:03] <Kartagis> I want to remove everything KDE from my system and I gave this command sudo apt-get purge -y kde* kalarm and I had to break it. then I gave the command sudo dpkg --configure -a and when I gave the same command again, it said Couldn't find package kde*. how can I fix that?
[14:03] <john-saint> is this how i do it?
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> john-saint: same as in terminal
[14:03] <dassouki> darrend: i meant it as last week everything was working fine, and this week kaboom, no menus
[14:03] <dassouki> awaad: have you googled it ?
[14:04] <ActionParsnip> john-saint: like to type yours i type john- and press tab,your nick is then completed for me
[14:04] <MikeChelen> after disabling compiz, alt+tab stopped working, how do can the shortcut be fixed?
[14:04] <awaad> dassouki : I don't know how to search about it
[14:04] <Halitech> Kartagis, try the info here http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome
[14:04] <ActionParsnip> MikeChelen: check keyoard shortcuts in preferences
[14:04] <awaad> dassouki : I mean that I don't know the right words to put them in the search engines
[14:04] <john-saint> ActionParsnip, i think i got it
[14:05] <luist> ActionParsnip: dont i need to aptitude update?
[14:05] <napterk> Hallo! Ich versteh bei dem "cp" Befehl nicht, wenn ich einen Ordner kopieren will muss ich dann -r Variabel benutzen. Geht es mit -a auch?
[14:05] <napterk> sorry
[14:05] <iceroot> !de | napterk
[14:06] <iceroot> napterk: man cp
[14:06] <audigy6x> Compiz for 9.10..is finecty
[14:06] <iceroot> napterk: -r for recursic (directory-support) and -a should be not to edit the owner and group
[14:07] <MikeChelen> ActionParsnip: what is it called there? cannot find which action that is
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> MikeChelen: next windows     maybe
[14:07] <egonw> hi all... back with my machine not booking karmic... live cd is fine, installed, but upon boot (GRUB1.97 shows up), it fails to mount the root disks (ext3) ... does someone have further suggestions what I can do?
[14:07] <luist> ActionParsnip: if i just add the line to sources.list is it enough? dont have to update?
[14:08] <Halitech> luist, sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude upgrade
[14:08] <epinky> awaad: http://www.ubuntu-inside.me/2009/06/howto-change-grub2-grub-pc-splash-image.html
[14:08] <luist> Halitech: just update i think :P
[14:09] <ActionParsnip> MikeChelen: its not in there, hmm
[14:09] <ActionParsnip> luist: you will need the gpg key too
[14:09] <ormen> is there any channel for just terminal use?
[14:09] <luist> ActionParsnip: whats that?
[14:09] <severity1_> hey i have a problem with xOrg....
[14:10] <Halitech> !ask
[14:10] <audigy6x> I wish there was a channel for termianl use
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> luist: it authenticates the repo, if you just run sudo apt-get update   you will get a waring as there is no key for the repo, you can use it but will get a nag saying its unauthenticated
[14:10] <Pici> audigy6x: You mean for bash scripting?
[14:11] <MikeChelen> ActionParsnip: it should be something like "move between applications" but can't find it so far
[14:11] <iceroot> audigy6x: #bash

[14:13] <ActionParsnip> luist: if yuo run apt-get update you will get a code
[14:13] <iceroot> audigy6x: for bash == #bash  for using linux without a gui #debian :), for using linux with a gui #ubuntu :-)
[14:13] <ormen> im trying to lern how to use the terminal, and it's works well and i find i fun to. But can't see any real use for it if one have a GUI..
[14:13] <Pici> iceroot: er.. no.  Debian in #debian, Ubuntu in #ubuntu
[14:14] <egonw> ormen: consoles are very personal... /me is much faster in doing his work on the console than with GUI...
[14:14] <luist> ActionParsnip: i ran it but what do you call a code :P
[14:14] <egonw> ormen: you pick what works best for you
[14:14] <ActionParsnip> luist: you will get nokey gpg etc

[14:15] <DaNCeR> am i just not looking it the right place or has one not been generated for some reason?
[14:15] <MikeChelen> ActionParsnip: that action "move between all windows, using popup window" doesn't seem to include all open applications
[14:15] <iceroot> Pici: #debian for terminal-questions, #ubuntu for gui-questions (i am using) :)
[14:16] <PrancingAlien> Hi, Ive had some annoying problems in ubuntu 9.10 and had found no solution so i decided i would try uninstalling that and installing 8.04 seeing if it would make a difference. i guess i installed 8.04 incorrectly or something because it wouldnt boot when i selected it, so i booted up windows and uninstalled it. however the dual boot screen still comes up and ubuntu is an option. can i fix this?
[14:16] <luist> ActionParsnip: didnt show anything about no key
[14:16] <luist> ActionParsnip: or gpg
[14:16] <iceroot> Pici: and for ubuntu-specific questions of course
[14:16] <ActionParsnip> luist: cool, install away
[14:16] <audigy6x> what kinda of netbook
[14:16] <ormen> egonw: yeah, but one got to try diffrent things to know whats best
[14:16] <dassouki> any ideas why my java based apps' menus have disappeared ?
[14:16] <yos> Thank you ActionParsnip, that fix worked like a charm
[14:16] <egonw> ormen: indeed... and better try yourself instead of letting CompanyX do that for you :) freedom++

[14:17] <MikeChelen> egonw: yuppers, heyas egon! some great linux groups on friendfeed, the ubuntu one looks very active
[14:17] <ActionParsnip> !ati | bwallen
[14:17] <Halitech> bwallen, System - admin - hardware drivers is the best route to use
[14:18] <bwallen> Halitech: I checked in there but nothing was listed
[14:18] <audigy6x> system/admistration/hardware driver
[14:18] <egonw> MikeChelen: going to listen in... maybe I should post by disks-not-mounted-on-boot problem there :)
[14:18] <luist> ActionParsnip: is there a command to just update an specific package, and if its not installed, dont do anything
[14:18] <Halitech> bwallen, are you sure its supported in 9.10?
[14:18] <ActionParsnip> luist: sudo apt-get --reinstall install package
[14:19] <luist> ActionParsnip: if the package is not installed, it wont install it right?
[14:19] <Halitech> bwallen, what model do you have?
[14:19] <bwallen> Halitech: No, I"m not sure. It's a radeon xpress 1250

[14:23] <ormen> does it exist diffrent non GUI based programs that can do grafical things like watch pics or film files?
[14:23] <c0p3rn1c> libtomcat5-java_5.0.30-9_all.deb *
[14:23] <jevidl> nunojpg, you can always just build an ssh tunnel first, forward the port, and then connect to remote desktop. If you only need it once in the while it might be an ok solution
[14:24] <luist> ActionParsnip: hey.. this command installed the package when it was not installed... i want to update when the package is instaleld, and DO NOTHING if the package is not installed :T
[14:24] <Kcwiro> vmalloc=<> where do I put his entry.. my virtual memory is set oo low
[14:24] <Kcwiro> *too
[14:25] <lyrae> Hi. I insert the liveCD to install ubuntu, but i get this: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v425/play/photo.jpg  why?
[14:25] <techtronic> how do i define a variable in a shell script, i need my variable to be = to date +"%d-%m-%Y"`
[14:25] <lyrae> did ubuntu cut the drivers for my poor lil video card :(
[14:25] <nunojpg> jevidl: but isn't VNC connections disabled by default?
[14:25] <nunojpg> also from localhost?
[14:25] <jevidl> nunojpg, let me check :)
[14:25] <Halitech> lyrae, what video card do you have?
[14:25] <lyrae> Halitech: nvidia 6600gt
[14:25] <Kcwiro> 'vmap allocation for size 16781312 failed: use vmalloc=<size> to increase size.'   this is the erro I'm tryign to resolve with the correct memory alloc
[14:26] <jevidl> nunojpg, I think it is, but you just need to go to Preferences > Remote Desktop to enable it
[14:26] <ActionParsnip> luist: try: apt-cache policy package
[14:26] <MikeChelen> egonw: have received lots of good help here, it takes some patience though when the question is difficult
[14:26] <jevidl> nunojpg, that won't setup RD over SSH automatically, but it will enable the RD server
[14:26] <egonw> mine is difficult to debug, I think... no clue where to start...
[14:26] <Halitech> lyrae, it should work
[14:27] <nunojpg> jevidl: there is a mountain between me and the computer
[14:27] <nunojpg> I only have ssh access for now...
[14:27] <juan__> Halitech: ATI has pretty good support in 9.10, the radeon drivers will do almost everything, even 3d effects
[14:27] <egonw> I don't get why the disks do not get mounted...
[14:27] <nunojpg> but if it is hard just forget it, I will do it next week on the machine
[14:27] <Halitech> juan__, even with the X series of video cards?
[14:27] <jevidl> nunojpg, I think I understand your question now... you want to enable remote desktop from an SSH session, not tunnel remote desktop over SSH
[14:28] <nunojpg> jevidl: owh, yeah, sorry
[14:28] <luist> ActionParsnip: does that command update?
[14:28] <MDXRL> o_o
[14:29] <djk1> anyone stream sirius on 9.10? I used mediaplayerconnectivity plugin and it was working before upgrade
[14:29] <juan__> Halitech: [Radeon Xpress 200M] here, not sure what the card name is but it is an express (embeded) card
[14:29] <PrancingAlien> i dont know if you guys can help me with my problem or not but Im at the end of my rope and really just need someone to point me in the right direction at least i have no idea what else to do.
[14:30] <jevidl> nunojpg, hehe, sorry. Not sure for that. NX works pretty well, but that's a replacement for Remote Desktop. You could also try X forwarding over SSH, but depending on your connection speeds that might be anywhere from frustrating to unusable
[14:30] <seidos> PrancingAlien: what is your question?
[14:30] <Halitech> juan__, ok, I went to an HD card so I can use the latest ATI drivers
[14:30] <ActionParsnip> luist: no, just shows where the package will come from and its statu
[14:30] <mgv2> how do i remove sun completly?
[14:30] <PrancingAlien> Ive had some annoying problems in ubuntu 9.10 and had found no solution so i decided i would try uninstalling that and installing 8.04 seeing if it would make a difference. i guess i installed 8.04 incorrectly or something because it wouldnt boot when i selected it, so i booted up windows and uninstalled it. however the dual boot screen still comes up and ubuntu is an option. can i fix this?
[14:30] <mgv2> how do i change flash to another sef player? flash sucks
[14:31] <luist> ActionParsnip: that wont solve my problem :T i need to update only if the package is already installed
[14:31] <MikeChelen> nunojpg: set up vnc on the server and use SSH as a tunnel
[14:31] <Halitech> PrancingAlien, you would need to edit the windows bootloader
[14:31] <seidos> PrancingAlien: I'm sure it's fixable, but I'm not sure exactly how.  Have you tried editing menu.lst?
[14:31] <MikeChelen> egonw: is there an error if you try to mount them manually?
[14:31] <PrancingAlien> halitch & seridos.. I dont know how to do this.. I'm not very computer savvy :/
[14:32] <egonw> MikeChelen: no, mounting with the live CD even worked fine (and allowed me to make back ups)
[14:32] <juan__> Halitech: For gaming or fancy effects you probably do need ATI drivers, but for everyday stuff you don't need it, it varies by card though
[14:32] <nunojpg> MikeChelen: I don't need a tunnel. I need to enable vnc from a terminal, I don't have gui
[14:32] <seidos> i'm out of battery
[14:32] <nunojpg> I will do it from the gui next week, just forget it
[14:32] <d3termin3d> when trying to install apps in 9.10, it does not give me the option to click install.  Am I doing something wrong after highlighting software that i want to install?
[14:32] <Halitech> juan__, I'm not a gamer and I despise compiz
[14:32] <egonw> MikeChelen: I can think of a few problems... UUID not correct, ext3 module not in kernel ... ? but only message that mounting did not work and then that it boots into a shell
[14:33] <luist> does anyone know? a command to update an specific package IF AND ONLY IF this package is already installed? (if its not installed already, i dont want it to be installed)
[14:33] <egonw> luist: apt-get safe-upgrade ?
[14:33] <egonw> luist: umm... aptitude safe-upgrade ?
[14:34] <nunojpg> now thinking about ssh tunnels...I have around 20 remote stations, that are using a nated internet connection(3G). I've been planning to estabilish a VPN from there to the office so that I can configure them. But maybe a ssh as a port tunnel is also a solution?
[14:34] <luist> egonw: thanks ill give it a try
[14:34] <Kcwiro> had anyone used read-edid?
[14:34] <Halitech> PrancingAlien, try using the info here http://vlaurie.com/computers2/Articles/bootini.htm
[14:34] <jevidl> nunojpg, really depends on what you want to do
[14:34] <egonw> luist: make sure to do first: aptitude update
[14:34] <MikeChelen> nunojpg: what version ubuntu server or desktop is it running?
[14:34] <luist> egonw: ya thanks
[14:34] <jevidl> nunojpg, you could try this... do "ssh user@server -X"
[14:34] <nunojpg> ubuntu server 9.10
[14:34] <jevidl> and then run vino-preferences
[14:35] <jevidl> nunojpg, that might let you open the Remote Desktop Preferences over SSH so you can start up the server
[14:35] <lyrae> Hi. I insert the liveCD to install ubuntu, but i get this: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v425/play/photo.jpg  why?
[14:35] <jevidl> nunojpg, if you used the server iso, is X even installed?
[14:35] <PrancingAlien> Halitech: Thanks I'll have a look.. I hope it helps :/ Ive been having no luck lol..
[14:35] <nunojpg> yes, I instaled gnome
[14:36] <luist> egonw: cant safe-upgrade on jaunty?
[14:36] <Uubnoob> hey guys i need some help wid my ubuntu 9.10 install
[14:36] <Halitech> PrancingAlien, hopefully it will, I've never tried it as I don't dualboot
[14:36] <egonw> luist: ah... try instead: upgrade or dist-upgrade
[14:36] <nunojpg> "/usr/bin/X11/xauth:  creating new authority file /home/gipsy/.Xauthority"
[14:36] <jevidl> nunojpg, ok. You might be able to use SSH and X forwarding to load the vino-preferences dialog then and get it going
[14:36] <nunojpg> can I open now X?
[14:36] <juan__> egonw: i think apt-get upgrade = aptitude safe-upgrade, but aptitude is better anyway because it fixes stuff
[14:36] <MikeChelen> egonw: did the manual mount command require any special options? it should be mounted as root / directory right?
[14:37] <egonw> MikeChelen: I'll try... hang on.... (meanwhile doing extensive cdk-jchempaint rebasing :)
[14:37] <luist> egonw: oh it wants to upgrade many packages... not just the one i need -.-
[14:37] <Uubnoob> my panel has stopped working in ubuntu 9.10. it just the outline appears but none of the buttons.n wen i shut down it tells me panel is still openin.. wat do i do??????
[14:37] <jevidl> nunojpg, if you're sshd in, just try running "vino-pref"
[14:37] <d3termin3d> how come i cannot install software in 9.10?  I can highlight and view the software, but do not have the option higjhlighted to install.
[14:37] <egonw> luist: then try: aptitude install <package-you-want-to-upgrade>
[14:38] <MikeChelen> nunojpg: you may want to install ubuntu-desktop
[14:38] <jevidl> nunojpg, sorry, that's vino-preferences
[14:38] <juan__> luist: run just aptitude, the gui will let you upgrade just the app you want
[14:38] <luist> egonw: but that will install the package when its not already installed...
[14:38] <egonw> luist: true
[14:38] <luist> juan__: i need a command to do it automatically :T
[14:39] <egonw> luist: so, you have a list of packages, and if one of that is installed, upgrade it... ic...
[14:39] <Uubnoob> my panel has stopped working in ubuntu 9.10. it just the outline appears but none of the buttons.n wen i shut down it tells me panel is still openin.. wat do i do??????
[14:39] <egonw> luist: you can see if a package is installed with: dpkg -l <package> and see is the line starts with 'ii'
[14:39] <MikeChelen> d3termin3d: does your user have admin access? try "sudo apt-get update"
[14:39] <dassouki> is there a youtube command line app ?
[14:39] <nunojpg> jevidl! cool, it opens a window over ssh
[14:40] <nunojpg> I didn't know that!
[14:40] <egonw> luist: but I guess you some shell script glue with a for loop
[14:40] <MikeChelen> nunojpg: yup, that is called x-forwarding
[14:40] <michele> italia
[14:40] <d3termin3d> Mike, I will try.  Thanks.
[14:40] <luist> egonw: -.-
[14:40] <egonw> MikeChelen: I think I understand the problem!....
[14:41] <egonw> MikeChelen: karmic does not have reiserfs support, correct?
[14:41] <cipix> hi all. I have ubuntu server 9.10 on a machine and I bumped into the "you need to load the kernel first" error when booting the machine(it's a fresh install) and I tried to use update-grub and grub-install to reconfigure and reinstall grub but it didn't work and I can't boot the machine. can you give me some advice what to do please?
[14:41] <michele> per la chat italiana?
[14:41] <MyGame> xd
[14:41] <MyGame> hey michele
[14:42] <MyGame> #ubuntu-it
[14:42] <michele> thank you
[14:42] <MyGame> : - )
[14:42] <taxman> Hi all. Does anybody know a tool to create a multi-page tiff file from individual tiff images?
[14:42] <jevidl> nunojpg, yeah... depending on what you're trying to do with it, it can be *very* slow, and it's probably not a substitute for remote desktop or something similar. It can however,  help you out in a jam.
[14:42] <taxman> googling hasn't gotten me anything useful so far
[14:42] <ActionParsnip> taxman: didnt know tiffs could ave pages
[14:42] <ZaNeIuM> is there like a sudo explorer
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> ZaNeIuM: explorer/
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> ?
[14:43] <CatZz> How to delete Password from user in ubuntu 9.10
[14:43] <taxman> ActionParsnip: yeah that's the default behavior in some programs on Windows
[14:43] <PrancingAlien> Halitech: Thank you so much. So far things seem like they've been resolved. I love you, lol.
[14:43] <egonw> luist: is the list of packages in a file?
[14:43] <MikeChelen> egonw: it seems reiserfs was supported at one point, it may have since been removed, at least by default
[14:43] <nunojpg> jevidl: started to work ok. But couldn't finish the configuration: (vino-preferences:27415): Gtk-WARNING **: Ran out of links
[14:43] <CatZz> How to delete Password from user in ubuntu 9.10
[14:44] <CatZz> How to delete Password from user in ubuntu 9.10
[14:44] <CatZz> How to delete Password from user in ubuntu 9.10
[14:44] <CatZz> How to delete Password from user in ubuntu 9.10
[14:44] <Oilut> Is there a channel for ubuntu in portuguese?
[14:44] <jevidl> did the window close out ok?
[14:44] <Pici> !pt | Oilut
[14:44] <CatZz> How to delete Password from user in ubuntu 9.10?
[14:44] <ActionParsnip> CatZz: you can't you can set a new password, not delete
[14:44] <Pici> CatZz: Stop repeating
[14:44] <egonw> luist: you could play with: dpkg -l * | grep -i "^ii" | xargs aptitude install
[14:44] <ZaNeIuM> ActionParsnip: hey i got my samba working fast thank to you
[14:44] <CatZz> No
[14:44] <jevidl> nunojpg, rather, did that show up after you clicked ok?
[14:44] <CatZz> i need user WITHOUT password
[14:44] <CatZz> for my parrents
[14:45] <ZaNeIuM> like a sudu file explore gui
[14:45] <egonw> luist: the first bits gives you a list of installed ("^ii") packages, which are then 'install'-ed
[14:45] <egonw> luist: that might come close to your needs
[14:45] <d3termin3d> What's a good book to learn linux ubuntu commands, etc?
[14:45] <jevidl> nunojpg, I'd re-open that and see if  your config was changed to what you want
[14:45] <d3termin3d> I've been out of the Linux loop for about 10 yrs
[14:45] <egonw> MikeChelen: so, next question is how to 'upgrade' a reiserfs to something like ext3 or ext4 or so
[14:45] <rags> ZaNeIuM: you can use "gksudo"
[14:46] <ActionParsnip> ZaNeIuM: what was the ticket?
[14:46] <luist> egonw: ya im looking for a way to parse that and just run apt-get install package when not isntalled
[14:46] <epaphus> Hello, ive been trying to reset my root password (it was set before by the user) in ubuntu grub without any luck.. could anybody help me??
[14:46] <MikeChelen> CatZz: enable auto login for that user in system -> admin -> login screen
[14:46] <epaphus> if i go to recover mode , and then drop to root with that it just asks the password for maintenance
[14:46] <MikeChelen> !recovery
[14:46] <ActionParsnip> CatZz: no can do, just set the account to autologin and use ssh so YOU can administer their PC and install updates
[14:47] <ActionParsnip> ZaNeIuM: gksudo nautilus    use VERY sparingly
[14:47] <epaphus> MikeChelen, am i giving the option with that to reset the root pass?
[14:47] <MikeChelen> egonw: modifying a filesystem is a pain, probably faster to move the data off, reformat, then restore the files
[14:48] <CoBaI3> hey) can someone send me 'acetoneiso'?
[14:48] <epaphus> MikeChelen, ?
[14:49] <d3termin3d> is itunes ever going to be compatible with ubuntu?
[14:49] <nunojpg> jevidl: I managed to configure it, I also might have connectivity problems now
[14:49] <MikeChelen> epaphus: booting into recovery mode is supposed to let you login as root
[14:49] <Halitech> d3termin3d, doubtful
[14:49] <nunojpg> jevidl: thanks
[14:49] <jevidl> nunojpg, connectivity problems?
[14:49] <sisif> I know this may sound like a stupid question, but how can I disable shortcut key WIN+C from starting Exaile. I`ve looked under Keyboard Shortcuts menu and I found nothing there.
[14:50] <nunojpg> jevidl: internet, not working very well now
[14:50] <audigy6x> Itunes will never be ..apple will not let it happen
[14:50] <ZaNeIuM> ActionParsnip: why?
[14:50] <MikeChelen> sisif: sounds like "launch media player" shortcut?
[14:50] <jevidl> nunojpg, ok. Good luck.  But that one is disabled ...
[14:51] <nunojpg> if I want to install ubuntu-desktop on a ubuntu server, what is essentialy the diferente from the desktop to the server edition?
[14:51] <ActionParsnip> ZaNeIuM: its a file browser as root, you can do anything and delete and damage any and all files
[14:51] <nunojpg> the kernel scheduller?
[14:51] <ActionParsnip> CoBaI3: http://www.getdeb.net/updates/acetoneiso
[14:51] <ActionParsnip> ZaNeIuM: the less you use it, the better
[14:52] <MikeChelen> sisif: do you have compiz enabled?
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> ZaNeIuM: what made your samba fast btw??
[14:52] <MikeChelen> nunojpg: mostly software packages like the desktop environment
[14:52] <jevidl> I have been trying to find a way to use our local mirror during my initial install. Is there a way to point the installer at a specific mirror, or do you need to use preseeding and make  your own image to install from?
[14:52] <CoBaI3> ActionParsnip: ty)
[14:52] <tobiasz> karmic has retarded sound software, anyone please help me actually record something in audacity for example
[14:53] <sisif> MikeChelen:  No, I don`t. And the thing is .. even if I set launch media player to another shortcut, hitting Win+c will still fire up Exaile. And Exaile is not even my default media player
[14:53] <audigy6x> you are better off sticking with Desktop VER.....the server VER is for severs , it has a desktop , but unless you are running server really no need
[14:53] <MikeChelen> tobiasz: what is wrong with audacity?
[14:53] <jozefk> a good font manager for ubuntu? any suggestion?
[14:54] <maxstirner1> theadmin: otherwise, i often use df -h, which shows all drives and space occupied/left allowing for identificaction of hdds
[14:54] <ActionParsnip> !font | jozefk
[14:54] <maxstirner1> My desktop software (skype, xine etc) loves losing its settings, so I have to redo them every so often. What could be the reason? Thanks
[14:54] <taxman> nunojpg: yeah if you installed server and add the desktop packages that's all you'd change. Just some extra packages. I'm not sure that ubuntu uses different scheduler settings, etc for the server edition, but I would hope so
[14:54] <sublimeUK> Hi everyone, could someone please help me with 2 grub problems?
[14:54] <ActionParsnip> maxstirner1: check you are the owner or all your data in home
[14:54] <MikeChelen> sisif: hmm that's weird
[14:54] <tobiasz> MikeChelen how do I record "what you hear", and how do I for example make people on skype or something like that hear what I play on system other than mic
[14:54] <jozefk> font installation?
[14:54] <taxman> sublimeUK: it's best to tell the specific problem
[14:54] <jozefk> i'm asking about manager my friend
[14:54] <sisif> MikeChelen: Yup, I know .. '
[14:55] <maxstirner1> ActionParsnip: thanks..
[14:55] <tobiasz> MikeChelen I've got SB Live! everything seems retarded and useless in comparision to jaunty
[14:55] <jozefk> installation is piece of cake :)
[14:55] <audigy6x> Whats wrong with your Grub
[14:55] <sublimeUK> taxman cheers, i can't see grub bootloader, its out of range for my monitor.
[14:56] <researcher1> Can I work the same results using System -> Preferences -> Network Proxy & fill in the required details instead of whats suggested at  http://blogs.sun.com/avinashjoshi/entry/using_apt_get_behind_a ?
[14:56] <ZaNeIuM> ActionParsnip edited the file samba.conf found in /etc/samba
[14:56] <ZaNeIuM> 	removed the # from the line '#   socket options' and replace the value with 'socket options = SO_KEEPALIVE'
[14:56] <audigy6x> do you have a Grub editior
[14:56] <MikeChelen> tobiasz: can audacity record from multiple sources?
[14:56] <taxman> sublimeUK: personally I have no idea, but were you aware of the grub howto? It's very detailed if you don't get an answer here
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> ZaNeIuM: cool :)
[14:57] <tobiasz> MikeChelen it should, but now I am unable to record currently played sound in system
[14:57] <Pholious> hey guys, I am trying to install a new window border through GNOME art. But when I select one and click install it forwards me to Appearance Preferences but the theme isn't there
[14:57] <Pholious> when I download it and manually install, it gives an extraction error...
[14:57] <sublimeUK> no, i've just been editing the /etc/default/grub
[14:58] <luist> can anyone help me with a shell command, i want to do something like:  if [some comand returns a line] then echo "foo"  or   if [some command answer matches regex ^ii] then echo "foo"
[14:58] <taxman> Evince can read multi page tiffs now, but I need to be able to make them. Does anybody know what tool that can do that? Gimp can't.
[14:58] <Mike_lifeguard> Hi, I'm still having trouble with my CUPS client; the network printer doesn't show up. I can connect from the client to the server in System>Administration>Printing>Server>Connect, and the printer works fine if I do 'lp file' on the server, but I cannot get the printer to appear on the client. Can someone help me troubleshoot this?
[14:58] <MikeChelen> luist: use a bash script with an if statement?
[15:00] <Jibaba> How are you friends?
[15:00] <Balkrah> I forgot the name of a really nice package that lets everyone on a LAN share their package caches
[15:00] <Balkrah> anyone know?
[15:00] <jozefk> great how about you?
[15:00] <researcher1> I have set  System -> Preferences -> Network Proxy & fill in the required details but I cant update from root.What is suggested at  http://blogs.sun.com/avinashjoshi/entry/using_apt_get_behind_a is any different?
[15:01] <jongbergs> Balkrah: apt-cacher
[15:01] <taxman> Evince can read multi page tiffs now, but I need to be able to make them. Does anyone know what tool can do that? Gimp can't.
[15:01] <uaneme> hello all
[15:01] <ia> hello. could anyone tell me, please, which command in terminal prints battery time? how can i get this information without installing any additional hal/acpi tools, 'right out of the box' in karmic?
[15:01] <Balkrah> but that requires a dedicated server
[15:01] <bhuvi> Balkrah, i think its aptcacher
[15:01] <Balkrah> i found one a while ago that lets everyone contribute
[15:01] <tobiasz> karmic doesn't support sb live! well, why so? Jaunty was ok, could record current playback as well as microphone with no problems
[15:02] <jongbergs> Balkrah: what software is that anyway?
[15:02] <nunojpg> taxman: it uses, preempt is disabled. I read that on the documentation
[15:02] <nunojpg> just not sure what it means
[15:02] <Balkrah> jongbergs: i forgot, thats the problem
[15:02] <nunojpg> it never stops a process?
[15:02] <Balkrah> it was really useful
[15:03] <taxman> nunojpg: google or wikipedia should help with that. I don't know off the top of my head
[15:04] <uaneme> isthere a guru in the room who can tell me how dbus freedesktop and hotssh are linked together?
[15:04] <sisif> Mike_lifeguard: apparently is was something related to metacity global shortcuts.
[15:06] <uaneme> for some reason i cannot connect to sftp on a headless ubuntu 9.04 server
[15:06] <uaneme> it gives me a dbus error
[15:06] <uaneme> anyone?
[15:06] <sublimeUK> will the grub gui editors work with grub 2?
[15:07] <iceroot> uaneme: what about posting a usefull error-description with the error-message and the command you used?
[15:07] <iceroot> uaneme: to the channel, not to me .)

[15:13] <sublimeUK> can someone please help me add my windows partitions to the grub menu?  :D
[15:13] <hedkandi> Khannz: do you have anything sensible to say?
[15:13] <iceroot> khannz: in your mysql-config
[15:13] <uaneme> is the file in use by another program?

[15:16] <jhatlelid> How do I figure out what ubuntu version I am running?
[15:16] <MikeChelen> jcrawford: thunderbird works okay, there are probably some others more specialized for download though
[15:16] <MikeChelen> !version
[15:16] <sublimeUK> pholious,  http://www.howtoforge.com/mac4lin_make_linux_look_like_a_mac
[15:16] <Pholious> jcrawford, I use openFTD and LottaNZB to download

[15:17] <jcrawford> or just click System -> About Ubuntu
[15:17] <Pholious> sublimeUK, ty
[15:17] <jcrawford> thanks
[15:17] <khannz> iceroot, sorry, but [mysql] section contains nothing in my _default_ config
[15:17] <aaron11> Do you know how to get the extra screensavers for Xscreensaver
[15:18] <jhatlelid> iceroot: where do I identify what version of ubuntu I am running
[15:18] <iceroot> jhatlelid: lsb_release -a
[15:18] <iceroot> khannz: khannz what you want to do? and maybe think if #mysql is a better place
[15:18] <uaneme> where do i go with sftp questions?
[15:18] <khannz> iceroot, also maaybe it's important, this server answers on 23 & 80 ports, but 3306 (mysql default) is closed
[15:18] <ccooke> aaron11: have you actually installed Xscreensaver, or do you mean you want additional screensavers for the default screensaver in Ubuntu? (which is a fork called gnome-screensaver: Not much different, but some names and locations differ)
[15:19] <jcrawford> surprised there are not more all in one solutions for usenet
[15:19] <jcrawford> like there are for windows/mac
[15:19] <uaneme> open ssh?
[15:19] <hedkandi> it's a known but
[15:19] <hedkandi> it's a known bug, importance "low"
[15:19] <khannz> iceroot, i want to open my mysql server to other machine, but 3306 port isn't opened by default
[15:19] <hedkandi> I rather think it is medium
[15:20] <aaron11> ccooke: I want aditional screensavers
[15:20] <iceroot> khannz: search for "listen" or "network" in your my.cnf
[15:20] <khannz> iceroot, thank yo, i'll try
[15:20] <iceroot> khannz: also see #mysql  to ask there how to enable tcp/ip with mysql, its disabled by default, just using the local socket
[15:20] <BluesKaj> hi folks
[15:21] <khannz> iceroot, ok, moving there now )
[15:21] <aaron11> ccooke: for Xscreensaver. Actualy. I wish to change back instead
[15:21] <khannz> iceroot, ty very much

[15:21] <Bondes_Gift> juhee ich souch an feind aus poppenricht
[15:22] <ccooke> aaron11: looks like the backends are unified now. You can get more by installing the 'xscreensaver-data-extra' and 'xscreensaver-gl-extra' packages
[15:22] <aaron11> ccooke: Is there a way to change back into gnome screensaver?
[15:23] <ccooke> aaron11: what do you mean?
[15:23] <ccooke> aaron11: it would appear that gnome-screensaver is currently configured to use the xscreensaver screensavers

[15:33] <a931bw> Just for it
[15:33] <a931bw> its fresh ubuntu
[15:34] <lfaraone> How can I log an entire bash session, both input and output?
[15:34] <coz_> a931bw,  ok then there is something up with the translations for that application most likely
[15:34] <coz_> a931bw,  this is russian?
[15:34] <a931bw> How to change language to english?
[15:34] <a931bw> Yes
[15:34] <coz_> a931bw,  you may have to email codeweavers about t his...since all fonts on your system are fine it is most likely on the application side
[15:35] <a931bw> Can i change language to english?
[15:35] <lfaraone> a931bw: you'll have to ask them about that.

[15:35] <jevidl> I have been trying to find a way to use our local mirror during my initial install. Is there a way to point the installer at a specific mirror, or do you need to use preseeding and make  your own image to install from?
[15:35] <coz_> a931bw,  mm  not sure ...I would guess yes  but the applications may search for the system language and go from there
[15:35] <lfaraone> jevidl: are you using the minimal/alternate cd?

[15:36] <raven244> mam pytanko
[15:36] <coz_> a931bw  you may be able to change the system language, however I have never had to do that so I am not sure of the procedure
[15:36] <jevidl> lfaraone, I have the minimal install cd and tried that, however I did not see a way to edit the mirror once I got to that step
[15:36] <lfaraone> jevidl: if so, press "pageup" when you get to the country mirror select menu until you get to the top entry: "enter mirror information manually"
[15:36] <raven244> dlaczego mooje ubuntu niewidzi pda
[15:36] <jevidl> lfaraone, ok. let me try that... it's quite possible I just was having a moment....

[15:40] <AndyGraybeal> hey guys, my friend owns an inspiron 1720, he had ubuntu 9.04 and just upgraded to 9.10 yesterday;  the installation ended saying things may have been partially upgraded.  he kept using it the rest of the day, and his wireless worked just fine.  today though when he tries to use his wireless; it doesn't work at all - it shows up in 'lshw' but not in network manager; any help is appreciated.
[15:40] <lfaraone> coz_: In gnome, you don't need to hold a hotkey to take a screenshot, you just press printscr.
[15:41] <gch_> compiz
[15:41] <lfaraone> AndyGraybeal: did he notice which packages weren't fully installed?
[15:41] <lfaraone> gch_: is there a question in there?
[15:41] <gch_> no..just mumbling
[15:41] <gch_> sorry
[15:41] <jevidl> lfaraone, hitting page up doesn't seem to have an effect. I am using virtualbox with a mac, I wonder if this is part of the problem. I have hooked up an external keyboard though, so I know I have pg up available.
[15:42] <lfaraone> jevidl: you can just press the keyboard "up" navkey, I just suggested pageup cause it goes up pages at a time.
[15:43] <dailystruggle> is there any support for creative labs ct4740 card
[15:43] <jevidl> lfaraone, hmm... up key doesn't seem to do anything either. even using the built in keyboard. I can use right and left to go between options, so I know my VM has focus. I'm a little baffled at the moment.
[15:43] <mohan_> hi guys i have samsung S3310 mobile phone.. how to make internet connection work from that in ubuntu jaunty
[15:43] <lfaraone> jevidl: you're at the country selection menu, right?
[15:43] <mohan_> is it possible?
[15:44] <pietrubens> hello
[15:44] <jevidl> lfaraone, "Please select an Ubuntu archive mirror. You should use a mirror in your country or region if you do not know which..." etc.

[15:44] <jevidl> lfaraone, that's the dialog you're referring to, correct?
