[21:33] <Crash1hd> coleys: ok so if I install xp first then ubuntu and down the road upgrade xp to vista or windows 7 am I going to have booting issues?
[21:33] <laucian> QuiltPants, sorry i have no answer for you, what kind of hardware is it, is it an expensive one?
[21:33] <nikkiclau> Hermpie: who lied to you that linux is easy?
[21:33] <hmw> skapism: sorry, but i can not scroll that far up with my client
[21:33] <skapism> hmw: I don't usually suggest su to anyone, in point of fact
[21:33] <Crash1hd> coleys: np will do :)
[21:34] <Super_Man> hello!!! I have installed the jackalope and i would like to tell me which flash plugin to install (i'm newbie...)
[21:34] <Hermpie> The most linux people
[21:34] <Hermpie> pl0x get ubuntu it's easy and free pl0x
[21:34] <QuiltPants> laucian: it was relatively expensive yes. it's specifically for recording insturments
[21:34] <hmw> Super_Man: sudo apt-get flashplugin-nonfree
[21:34] <guntbert> Hermpie: please stop that
[21:34] <axyelp> i'am fresh installing jaunty, so is it okay if i copy my 'home' folder which is currently in my filesystem to a new partition and put the mount point as /home during installation?
[21:34] <QuiltPants> laucian: the price equates to about $200 at a guess
[21:34] <Hermpie> Yes I will stop
[21:35] <Kubuntu__> hmw: pastebin.com/d476b2d22
[21:35] <aboSamoor> can you help me with xsession errors file ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/164441/
[21:35] <hmw> Super_Man: sorry, it is :  sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[21:35] <Hermpie> I never said Ubuntu is worser than XP
[21:35] <Hermpie> Cya

[21:35] <Myrtti> coleys: whats up?
[21:35] <laucian> QuiltPants, maybe there are no ubuntu drivers for it..did you ask the company for a linux driver?
[21:35] <nikkiclau> axyelp: should be..
[21:35] <Super_Man> that's what i have allready installed. is there something to do to make the flash faster?
[21:35] <hmw> Kubuntu__ i see 2 drives !?
[21:35] <robd> hmw: Is there a way to install a specific version of a package instead of just a general version? (i.e. mysql-server-5.0.4 instead of mysql-server ?)
[21:36] <axyelp> please reply, i'am in midst of installation! will copying hardy's home into new installation's /home partition before installing work?
[21:36] <thebloggu>  my network manager applet is taking too long (like 2-3 min) to recognize my wireless card (not even connect to network, that takes some more minutes) on boot. it is possible it is a bug or maybe i am missing something. using openbox if it is relevant
[21:36] <KolyeTurk123> lan orospu evlatlarýý
[21:36] <KolyeTurk123> :d
[21:36] <robd> axyelp: Yep, that'll do fine
[21:36] <hmw> rodb: i think, yes, but dont know how. RTFM or ask google *G*
[21:36] <nikkiclau> robd: wget from repository, then dpkg -i <packagename>
[21:36] <skapism> hmw: besides, so far as I know, sudo is not classicly used the way it is in ubuntu. but I'll refrain from suggesting it in the future, if that should pacify you :)
[21:36] <KolyeTurk123> ananýzý  sikim sizin olurmu
[21:36] <KolyeTurk123> :D:D
[21:36] <QuiltPants> laucian: i haven't asked them, but i don't believe there is one from searching around. I will try and look again. It just baffles me that i'm getting sound to work, just not everywhere.

[21:37] <hmw> skapism: sudo -i does the same as su
[21:37] <robd> nikkiclau: Is there an easy way to search the repository for a version? I'm using packages.ubuntu.org and it sucks... (no search feature once I get to the hardy section)

[21:37] <KolyeTurk123> Thanks.
[21:37] <whiter> does anyone know if its possible to remove the little ubuntu icon from the "Applications" menu?
[21:37] <skapism> hmw: well then, fair enough :)
[21:37] <super_hoops1967> is ther any way to reset my xubuntu to how it was when i first installed it?
[21:38] <super_hoops1967> tweaks isn't loading and i need to uncheck something
[21:38] <QuiltPants> laucian: cool well thanks for the help
[21:38] <hmw> Kubuntu__ i thoughtm, you had only one hard drive?
[21:38] <Hermpie> Hobbit
[21:38] <laucian> QuiltPants, you are welcome..
[21:38] <Kubuntu__> hmw: i have an external and the internal
[21:38] <QuiltPants> laucian: i'll just thow that question out there again and see if someone else has had similar issues :)
[21:38] <gaurav__> hey guys when i try to enable  visual effects on my laptop with a nvidia card i get the following error. I was wondering if this is a bug in jaunty  http://pastebin.com/d2bdd0cb6
[21:38] <Kubuntu__> hmw: 6 drives total i just unplugged 4 of them
[21:38] <skapism> hmw: my understanding of sudo was to be able to provide *some* users with *some* privileges, that's what I meant by saying it's not classicaly used in ubuntu
[21:39] <nikkiclau> robd: What I do is, I go to the http mirror, and dive right to the package to find the link. (e.g. http://ubuntu.lhi.is/pool/main/b/bacula/)
[21:39] <alleykat> not a ubuntu specific question, but does anyone know of a S60 3rd F1 Gnapplet for Nokia so I can use gnokii / wammu?
[21:39] <laucian> QuiltPants, linuxquestions.org is a very good forum, where i mostly get good answers
[21:39] <Myrtti> alleykat: no such thing
[21:39] <aboSamoor> any idea ?
[21:39] <Crash1hd> Actuallly if I wanted to have a dual boot of xp vista windows 7 and ubuntu I am best to install ubuntu last right?
[21:39] <alleykat> Myrtti, like it does not exist?
[21:39] <laucian> Crash1hd, yes install ubuntu at last
[21:40] <hmw> Kubuntu__ hmm. I wonder, if your sys would boot if only one disk is present. I would like you to make the windows disk the only existing one, and then use fixmbr and fixboot. I want to know, if that makes it boot again, to determine, where to look for further errors
[21:40] <Kubuntu__> hmw: i tried that, winXP boot disk doesnt find it.
[21:40] <Crash1hd> laucian: that being said since windows 7 isnt out yet when I do install it I can fix the bootloader after i take it
[21:40] <nztal> is link aggregation broken in jaunty ?
[21:40] <DanC> trying to follow the directions in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothHeadset , I have no such file as /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf . help?
[21:40] <hmw> Kubuntu__ probably, because it wanst set to single mode
[21:40] <guntbert> skapism: sudo in ubuntu provides *some* (or one) user(s)  with the right to execute programs as root, where is the difference?
[21:40] <Kubuntu__> hmw:its plugged into a RAID port
[21:40] <Myrtti> alleykat: v3 isn't compatible with gnokii/wammu, there has been some advancement in making an app for v3, but haven't heard about it in ages
[21:41] <russe11> I just upgraded from 2gb to 4gb of RAM on my 64-bit ubuntu box, but Ubuntu only reports 2.9GiB. What might my problem be?
[21:41] <hmw> Kubuntu__ ah, i remember, you have an option to load additional raid drivers... do you have a driver disk for that controller_
[21:41] <alleykat> darn, so no backup of my E51 under ubuntu, back to #¤% win I guess :(
[21:41] <QuiltPants> laucian: ok i'll take a look and see what i can find. thanks again
[21:41] <skapism> guntbert: well, if you see it that way, it's explainable. I guess it's how you see the user
[21:41] <Kubuntu__> hmw: No floppy disk its on a CD and i cant load a CDRom drive it has about 20000 drivers on it to select which one it was..
[21:42] <petrolman> Hey, they have deleted serveral locations from germany. Now I cant configure the weather applet correctly, but I need correct weather information. Is it possible to add the missing locations ?
[21:42] <QuiltPants> hi all, i'm struggling to set up my soundcard to work at the moment. it seems to work for one application at a time and not at all for video files. i have an external soundcard. an alesis io|2. does anyone have any ideas that might help?
[21:42] <Myrtti> alleykat: there are ways to do backups by other means depending on what you need
[21:42] <hmw> Kubuntu__ 1) would it be impossible to forget about the current windows and reinstall it? 2) does your MoBo have an IDE controller in addition?
[21:42] <heavysidecar> Hi all, anyone else having problems with Intersil/Prism kit on 9.04?
[21:43] <caleb_> Gnome Do seems to point to an old wine version of Firefox (which I deleted), how do I change it?
[21:43] <alleykat> just a complete phone system backup - contacts, cal, messages
[21:43] <guntbert> skapism: that applies (by default) only to users in the admin group, and that is usually only one, but you can enable it for as many as you like
[21:43] <alleykat> I'm on the phones file system, connected via BT
[21:43] <Kubuntu__> hmw: it has a CDRom drive IDE but only one... and i dont have an external enclosure/IDE-sata USB plug to copy over my files from my drive
[21:44] <mikeluri> alguno save español aka?
[21:44] <Crash1hd> I have more then one hdd but alll the other drives are backup drives (Is it best to leave them disconnected when doing the install and then just add them later?)
[21:44] <hmw> Kubuntu__ this is thougher than i thought. I have no expirience with stubborn raid controllers
[21:44] <skapism> guntbert: you are aware that sudo requires you to enter password only once, so unless you close the terminal, the security risk is the same as with leaving su on?
[21:44] <Myrtti> alleykat: you can do a backup on the memorycard itself
[21:44] <Kubuntu__> hmw: I wish i could return the POS it cost me $3000
[21:44] <joha> #math
[21:44] <hmw> Kubuntu__ try: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt && ls /mnt
[21:44] <alleykat> Yep... well, nothing to do about it atm I guess Myrtti, thanks for answering
[21:44] <skapism> guntbert: as in, I mean, the user should still actively choose to close the terminal
[21:44] <mikeluri> i can't speak ingles any more and i have a lot of questions
[21:45] <mikeluri> can me help
[21:45] <hmw> Kubuntu__ you should see the root dir of your windows drive
[21:45] <Myrtti> alleykat: also tools to sync phone to ovi or gmail/gcal and getting a text dump of sms
[21:45] <DJones> !es | mikeluri
[21:45] <Kubuntu__> hmw: -sigh- im going to try to switch the IDE to CDrom and try fixmbr
[21:45] <alleykat> yeah I got sync to gcal, works fairly ok
[21:45] <hmw> Kubuntu__ hmm wait...
[21:45] <Kubuntu__> hmw: yes?
[21:46] <hmw> Kubuntu__ can you access sda1? sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt && ls /mnt
[21:46] <jimi_hendrix> can i install 8.04 from a usb some how?
[21:46] <jimi_hendrix> (a 1 GB usb preferably...)
[21:46] <Kubuntu__> hmw: liveCD isnt up i have a bluetooth keyboard and its just too many problems
[21:46] <Myrtti> alleykat: may I ask how you're syncing it :-)
[21:46] <nikkiclau> alleykat: google myfunambol .. might be good for you ;-)
[21:46] <hmw> Kubuntu__ well, then I wish you good luck
[21:46] <napa> hi! is there a command in 9.04 forcing screen resolution .. With AMD/ATI drivers installed .. I cannot change it in CCC and screen display won't open
[21:47] <alleykat> as for the rest, I hoped to use wammu, it really looks like it got all what nokia pc suite has plus more... but 's ok, I dualboot with xp, just got connection problems under win - both usb and bt
[21:47] <guntbert> skapism: not really so, sudo state lasts about 5 minutes (for the lazy ones), but you can "close" the sudo session any time (use sudo -K), see man sudo
[21:48] <nikkiclau> napa: IIRC, you can manually set some resolutions in the xorg.conf file .. i don't remember if xinerama can be controlled by cli ..
[21:48] <skapism> guntbert: ever hear of a user who did that? XD
[21:48] <alleykat> funambol isn't bad... I use calsync from s60addons.com
[21:48] <alleykat> and use sunbird with gcal to sync home
[21:48] <skapism> guntbert: I think you should go about it consequently (ie, ask for password each time) or just use su. that is my personal opinion, anyway
[21:49] <jjrUbu> \quit (Bye everyone)
[21:49] <nikkiclau> alleykat: why not run windows under VirtualBox and hand the USB devices to it?
[21:49] <perillu> This is a bit off topic... it regards torrents.  What exactly is the "ratio" used for?  Do I have an overall ratio or is it just for each file, and does the download go faster if you have a better ratio?  Do some clients refuse to upload to me unless I have a certain ratio?  Thanks for any help.
[21:49] <Kubuntu__> hmw: I hope it works. Nothing ever seems to work around here.
[21:49] <nikkiclau> alleykat: that should give you a more stable network solution ..
[21:49] <whiter> okay so i tried replacing the start_here.png icon from /usr/share/icons/Human/24x24/places and restarting gnome-panel but that did not work... does anyone know of a way to get rid of the ubuntu icon on the gnome-panel to the left of "Applications" ?
[21:49] <charles_> perillu: on public trackers, it's mostly just to be polite and share back as much as you download
[21:49] <rico> good evening. i'm trying to find a graphical interface to administrate my mssql server under ubuntu
[21:49] <charles_> perillu: on private trackers, you'll likely get banned/deleted/etc if your share ratio gets too low
[21:50] <rico> anyone got an idea?
[21:50] <hmw> Kubuntu__ using a RAID as boot drive often causes troubles :( try to avoid it (use one single OS drive and the RAID goes for data)
[21:50] <napa> nikkiclau: i tried xrandr .. It says maximum screen resolutin are 1280x1024 60 hz ... But I only get automatically 1024X768 75 hz .... (I've also got an old CRT tv plugged in with Svhs cable I guess)
[21:50] <skapism> perillu: if I'm *not* mistaken the bitorrent protocol is constructed such that people with more upload gets priority. no idea about ratio, unless it's a private tracker
[21:50] <leonrenk> rico never heard of one..
[21:50] <skapism> get*
[21:50] <nickrud> rico, try mysql-admin
[21:50] <nickrud> !info mysql-admin
[21:50] <rico> i've tried oracle sql developer. but it doesn't work
[21:50] <guntbert> skapism: sudo is ok for me but we're getting off topic :-)
[21:50] <skapism> guntbert: don't worry, I won't suggest it anymore here :)
[21:50] <nickrud> rico, erm sorry, bad read on my part
[21:50] <Tom__> downloading ubuntu now :)
[21:50] <alleykat> nikkiclau, because me and the nokia drivers under win aren't too good friends :)
[21:51] <rico> that's mysql - i'm looking for mssql :)
[21:51] <skapism> guntbert: I mean su
[21:51] <rico> no problem :)
[21:51] <hmw> !ot
[21:51] <Tom__> hopefully wirless will work :)
[21:51] <Kubuntu__> hmw: I didnt have a choice really.....I used a company here to built a custom comp they were supposed to notify me of any conflicts thats what they were paid for and they didnt..i cant return it im stuck with it i dont have any SATA drives and all the IDE are RAID
[21:51] <alleykat> I know, its just reinstalling the whole shebang, but its like the 10th time
[21:51] <Tom__> as ong as there is a wahy to get it to work then i dont mind tinkering
[21:51] <guntbert> skapism: :-)
[21:51] <Tom__> lol
[21:51] <alleykat> which was one reason for changing over from win hehe
[21:52] <Tom__> well i had many attempts to get it work b4
[21:53] <nikkiclau> napa: and no luck in system->preferences->display ?
[21:53] <Kubuntu__> hmw: And I dont even know my admin password -sigh- I think i found my next target for my shooting range visit in 15m. What do you think? hehe
[21:53] <alleykat> napa, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/347758/comments/14
[21:53] <alleykat> this helped me a LOT
[21:53] <hmw> Kubuntu__ maybe you should extract all important data with the LiveCD to your external drive and do a resetup
[21:53] <drago> anyone use avidemux here?  or otherwise understand an option --audio-normalize /mode/  the mode part is what i dont understand
[21:54] <Kubuntu__> hmw: I'm thinking the same.... -sigh-
[21:54] <alleykat> with ATI radeon HD 3600 and dual screens - had same problem that screen res app froze and ati ccc crashed/went crazy
[21:54] <hmw> Kubuntu__ are you familiar with mount?
[21:54] <yaaar> howdy
[21:54] <Tom__> hello
[21:54] <alleykat> napa, this made the ATI ccc take control and work, my sys runs smooth now
[21:54] <usr13> Kubuntu__: You should be able to get it to boot again.  Did you look at the URLs we sent?
[21:54] <Kubuntu__> hmw: Few years ago i was 100% linux with PCLinuxOS
[21:55] <napa> nikkiclau: nope .. When trying to start the display ..The TV flickers alot .. then a box with grey backround and a thick green vertical bar in the middle apperears .. And the systems starts to hang/freeze .. Like using all the cpu power
[21:55] <Kubuntu__> usr13: I did, Indeed.
[21:55] <virtx> how can i use some stable package on unstable distro?
[21:55] <skapism> virtx: it's a matter of dependencies, mostly. likely not.
[21:55] <yaaar> i'm having trouble getting the rsync service to start. i do /etc/init.d/rsync start and it gives my prompt back without saying anything...but '/etc/init.d/rsync status' then says it's not started, and 'ps waux | grep rsync' gives no output...
[21:55] <xangua> virtx: use ubuntu LTS ¿
[21:55] <virtx> lts?
[21:55] <hmw> Kubuntu__ then it goes like this -  sudo mkdir /media/winhd && mount /dev/sda1 /media/winhd  - so you should get an icon on the desktop, letting you browse and copy easily
[21:56] <yaaar> anybody no what i might be doing wrong? i put together good /etc/rsync.conf and /etc/rsync.secrets files...
[21:56] <nikkiclau> napa: are you using ATI graphics? official drivers?
[21:56] <skapism> yaaar: 'pidof rsync' says something?
[21:56] <hmw> Kubuntu__ the mount will need sudo, too, i think
[21:56] <Tom__> anyone know a good site to download ubuntu themees?>
[21:56] <usr13> Kubuntu__: Plug everything back in like you originally had it and boot to Linux and you should be able to fix it.
[21:56] <Tom__> to change the whole bar colours etc
[21:56] <yaaar> skapism: nope
[21:56] <usr13> Kubuntu__: You have this PC on the internet, right?

[21:56] <Tom__> as once this bad boy has donwloading i would like to change the appearance

[21:56] <guntbert> !themes | Tom__
[21:56] <yaaar> skapism: yeah ;-)
[21:57] <Tom__> nice
[21:57] <napa> nikkiclau: I'm using the drivers that was downloaded and installed automaticcaly when I activated ATI/AMD card in System/admin/hardware drivers
[21:57] <skapism> yaaar: did you grep dmesg for it, see if it says anything?
[21:57] <napa> nikkiclau: my card was detected
[21:58] <yaaar> skapism: dmesg | grep rsync gives no output
[21:58] <nztal> is link aggregation broken in jaunty ?
[21:58] <usr13> acfrazier: dd_rescue does not mount anything.  dd_rescue - copies data from one file (or block device) to another
[21:58] <nikkiclau> napa: OK, did you install ccc?
[21:58] <alleykat> napa, I think if you follow my suggestion the ccc will get working again - theres something weird with randr and ati driver
[21:58] <MeXTux> I'm trying to figure out which is the icon file that gnome-app-install uses??? Does anybody know?? I run alacarte but Add/Remove doesn't appear listed

[21:58] <skapism> yaaar: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync
[21:59] <guntbert> nztal: what is "link aggregation"?

[22:02] <_gama> anyone know anything about triple booting
[22:03] <usr13> _gama: It's no different from dual boot, just adding another OS.
[22:03] <nikkiclau> _gama: booting three times in a row?
[22:03] <_gama> does there need to be multiple swap?
[22:03] <nikkiclau> ;-)
[22:03] <skapism> juna: flashplugin-nonfree you work for you, it's the adobe one.
[22:03] <EdgEy> _gama,  no
[22:03] <usr13> _gama: What do you need to know about it?
[22:03] <nikkiclau> _gama: no
[22:03] <_gama> so one swap is good
[22:03] <nikkiclau> _gama: as long as it is always linux that you're trying to use..
[22:03] <nikkiclau> _gama: describe what you are doing
[22:04] <skapism> juna: should work*, I mean
[22:04] <usr13> _gama: Only if the first one is not enough.
[22:04] <juna> skapism: thank you ? then what is the one saying adobe-flashplugin ?
[22:04] <skapism> juna: a wrapper / virtual package, I guess?
[22:04] <usr13> _gama: But doesn't hurt to have 2 swap partitions.
[22:05] <nikkiclau> usr13: pointless if you're using the same system and using linux
[22:05] <nikkiclau> usr13: takes precious hard drive space away ;-)
[22:05] <juna> skapism: ok thank you. i just wanted to be sure because the adobe-flashplugin in synaptic is marked with the ubuntu logo
[22:05] <Wicked> how can i get vlc to use one window again? since i installed 9.04 vlc launches 2 windows....one for the controls and one with the actual video
[22:05] <_gama> i put ubuntu 9.04 then kubuntu 8.10 and i messed up 9.04 and tryed to reinstall 9 and it keeps installing the swap i made for kubuntu
[22:05] <napa> alleykat: I'll try .. thanx
[22:06] <hmw> juna: what do you mean with "flash works, but cant get the content" - if it works, it works!?
[22:06] <skapism> Wicked: that's actually a vpn option, I believe, since jaunty has a newer version of it. look through the options
[22:06] <usr13> nikkiclau: Well, yes if one is enough, one is enough.  And yes, one big one is better (in my opoinion and obviously yours too).
[22:06] <e1luca> any news for Vaio Fn keys? I know it's an old problem did anyone found a solution? tnx
[22:06] <skapism> Wicked: vlc*, I mean
[22:06] <arthurmaciel> hi there
[22:06] <juna> hmw: i am playing a game online that i can play the game but i cant see some options that the game has
[22:07] <HeyHelp> Thanx alot I just finished installin google earth
[22:07] <arthurmaciel> I upgraded to 9.04 and when gnome starts, my mouse move by itself to the right top most corner.
[22:07] <napa> alleykat: How do I shut down X ? :p
[22:07] <arthurmaciel> how can I fix it?
[22:07] <Wicked> skapism, hmm i have and have not seen any option and from what ive read the version compiled info 9.04 is crippled(u cannot get it in one window)
[22:07] <Wicked> though i could be wrong
[22:07] <nikkiclau> _gama: You can use the same area over and over again, use only one swap partition.
[22:07] <hmw> juna: doesnt sound like a "bad flash plugin" to me. Pls give me ther URL
[22:07] <skapism> Wicked: I think it's a feature, not a bug. not sure.
[22:07] <nikkiclau> _gama: do you know the size of the swap partition?
[22:07] <seg> hello. where does the mounted samba share is mounted? i.e. where can I ls -alR from
[22:07] <_gama> 4gb
[22:07] <alleykat> napa, this thread explains it (I think, I just rebooted) -> http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174
[22:08] <_gama> i got 2gb ram
[22:08] <usr13> _gama: They can both use the same swap partition, no problem, they will automatically.  If it is there, it will be found and used.
[22:08] <nikkiclau> _gama: then you have plenty of space, just use one swap partition.
[22:08] <alleykat> napa, if it works, please spread the word further ;)
[22:08] <juna> hmw its a facebook game
[22:08] <skapism> seg: where you mount it :)
[22:08] <usr13> _gama: The installer will put a line in the /etc/fstab file for it and use it.
[22:08] <hmw> juna: hmm. I assume, you can use it normally with Windows?
[22:09] <nikkiclau> alleykat: he's shy, or busy watching video on his CRT ;-)
[22:09] <seg> skapism: it is on desktop, but in desktop dir it is not
[22:09] <arthurmaciel> anyone experiencing the mouse moving by itself to the topmost right corner of the screen when X is started??
[22:09] <_gama> im also wondering how to install 9.04 ubuntu with ext4
[22:09] <juna> hmw: yes. i have tried it in windows
[22:09] <nikkiclau> arthurmaciel: I have had some bad mice if that's what you mean. ...
[22:09] <skapism> Wicked: jaunty uses 0.9.9a-2ubuntu1, intrepid 0.9.4-1ubuntu3.1. so that's quite a version leap. although they've been sleazy with the version bumping lately
[22:09] <hmw> juna: it could be connected to zoom status of the browser. Try CTRL+MouseWheel
[22:09] <usr13> _gama: There's an option for it.  But I'm not sold on ext4 yet, (that's just me tho).
[22:09] <skapism> seg: how do you mean?
[22:09] <arthurmaciel> nikkiclau: it is not the mice(s). it just started when I upgraded to ubuntu 9.04
[22:10] <nikkiclau> arthurmaciel: every time you start X?
[22:10] <_gama> it wont boot with grub 1.5
[22:10] <arthurmaciel> nikkiclau: yes!
[22:10] <seg> skapism: I mounted it with 'connect to server' and it is not like mount
[22:10] <Wicked> skapism, yea. but i still think the one in 9.04 is not quite right. i at least cannot get it all in one window...which is what i prefer
[22:10] <_gama> iv tryed to get grub2 installed and it wont boot
[22:10] <skapism> _gama: grub has already been updated to support ext4, I believe
[22:11] <nikkiclau> arthurmaciel: what type of mouse you got? mousepad and/or normal laser?
[22:11] <arthurmaciel> nikkiclau: on login screem the cursor moves it self to the corner, when if I move the mouse (any of them - touchpad, optical) it goes back to the corner
[22:11] <alleykat> nikkiclau, hehe yeah prolly :) I think one of the problems I had was that one of my DVI connectors (dvi>vga) has wrong number of pins, I'm using 2 completely alike monitors and it always messed up #2 badly
[22:11] <axyelp> installing jaunty,,.. n ubiquity crashes!!!!
[22:11] <arthurmaciel> nikkiclau: touchpad and optical (lsar)
[22:11] <baldo> ciao raga
[22:11] <baldo> ho bisogno di aiuto
[22:11] <nikkiclau> arthurmaciel: try reinstalling the synaptic driver ...
[22:11] <skapism> Wicked: trying using that mirror: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kow/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
[22:11] <juna> hmw: ok i tried it. its not that. i am using flash player 10.0 r22
[22:11] <skapism> Wicked: then update vlc
[22:12] <skapism> Wicked: sudo apt-get install vlc
[22:12] <juna> hmw: thats what firefox says
[22:12] <arthurmaciel> nikkiclau: in fact I removed the synaptic and the mouse driver.. nothing changed
[22:12] <skapism> Wicked: try*
[22:12] <nikkiclau> alleykat: ah, well, you ever read about the "hardware virus"?
[22:12] <alleykat> :P
[22:12] <Wicked> skapism, yea. i could try that though i avoid 3rd party repositories.
[22:12] <hmw> juna: how did you install flash? apt-get flashplugin-nonfree?
[22:12] <skapism> Wicked: it's on launchpad :)
[22:12] <nikkiclau> arthurmaciel: how about connecting a new mouse to a new port on your computer?
[22:12] <juna> hmw: from synaptic.
[22:12] <hmw> juna: but flashplugin-nonfree?
[22:13] <juna> hmw: yes
[22:13] <skapism> Wicked: it has vlc 1.0.0, so there you go.
[22:13] <GraphicRecursion> hey, Im using mod_probe ath_pci but the module isnt being loaded when I reboot
[22:13] <hmw> juna: i will ask google, maybe I can find something
[22:13] <GraphicRecursion> modprobe*
[22:13] <_gama> is there any major about ext4?
[22:13] <arthurmaciel> nikkiclau: I connect an wireless optical mouse to the usb and it follows the same movement
[22:13] <skapism> Wicked: will likely to enter karmic sooner or later anyway
[22:13] <Wicked> skapism, and iisnt launchpad not supported and built by community users?
[22:13] <IamChromos> Hey guys... I have one heck of a problem...
[22:13] <axyelp> ubiquity crashes while installing jaunty thru live cd!!! anyone??
[22:13] <skapism> Wicked: yes
[22:13] <alleykat> nikkiclau, I think I tried about 200 xorg.conf setups and it all ran miserably until I found that bug and killed randr12
[22:13] <IamChromos> I managed to totally crash ubuntu by uninstalling two bad drivers.
[22:13] <xangua> axyelp: ubiquity ¿¿
[22:13] <juna> hmw: the strange thing is that i upgraded to 9.04 and it was ok. when i made some updates later it gave the problems
[22:13] <nikkiclau> alleykat: hehe, must have been relieved
[22:13] <dan> is there a way to stop Ubuntu from showing your drives on the desktop automatically or defining where they show up on the desktop?
[22:13] <skapism> Wicked: but you say your software is already broken. what else are you going to do, *not* use it? :)
[22:13] <_gama> im not sure why there is no one using it when it sounds like this huge deal!?!
[22:14] <alleykat> indeed, even did a complete reinstall
[22:14] <xangua> dan: gconf-editor> apps> nautilus> desktop
[22:14] <Wicked> skapism, thats is an options. or hope and wait for ubuntu to isssue a fix
[22:14] <IamChromos> how to I re-install the OS? I can't figure out how to do so...
[22:14] <axyelp> ubiquity,... ubuntu's live cd installer!
[22:14] <IamChromos> I need to wipe it out and re-install.
[22:14] <skapism> Wicked: if you're so inclined, mplayer is a great replacement
[22:14] <arthurmaciel> nikkiclau: on ubuntu I don't see any options to config the mouse on xorg.conf
[22:14] <nikkiclau> _gama: the major thing is IMO ext partition with more than 2TB limit
[22:14] <dan> xangua: let me check it out
[22:14] <hmw> juna: i see. The plugin hasnt been updated, if i remember correctly, so it will be something different. Can you boot the Ubuntu Live CD, then "apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree", and check, if it happens with the liveCD, too?
[22:15] <nikkiclau> arthurmaciel: which ubuntu version do you run?
[22:15] <axyelp> xangua, ubiquity,... ubuntu's live cd installer!
[22:15] <skapism> Wicked: vlc has lost a lot of its quality in the latest releases. many bugs, in my experience at least, both ubuntu and other OSs
[22:15] <Wicked> skapism, yea. i know. but i prefer vlc...i guess it isnt a huge issue...just annoying and i can deal untill there is a update.
[22:15] <arthurmaciel> nikkiclau: gotcha! rmmod(ed) the psmouse driver and it is perfect now
[22:15] <skapism> Wicked: you could always install the package from the ppa and revert back if you wanted.
[22:15] <nikkiclau> arthurmaciel: grand! :D
[22:15] <juna> hmw: i can try it
[22:15] <IamChromos> anyone?
[22:15] <juna> hmw: by the way thank you
[22:15] <arthurmaciel> nikkiclau: how can I discover which package provides the psmouse driver? don't want it to be loaded at startup
[22:16] <hmw> juna: welcome to #ununtu!
[22:16] <_gama> right on! thanks for the help im going to go and delete one of the swaps
[22:16] <skapism> Wicked: ie by deleting the ppa repository, and reinstalling vlc
[22:16] <mak89> hey
[22:16] <homeskill> will mkdir automatically create the directory if it doesn't already exist?
[22:16] <mak89> problem with
[22:16] <mak89> ubuntu installation./update
[22:16] <blizzkid> yes homeskill
[22:17] <Wicked> skapism, yea. i could also get the vlc source and patch it myself.....same as the one in ppa
[22:17] <skapism> homeskill: mkdir creates a directory, yes
[22:17] <dan> xangua: I see it. How about a way to have the drives appear differently, Like along the top instead of along the left hand side?
[22:17] <arthurmaciel> nikkiclau: but critically, psmouse is needed to run the touchpad! :-/ without it only the optical usb wireless mouse works... that's a sad thing
[22:17] <skapism> Wicked: better to keep to deb so long as you can
[22:17] <nikkiclau> arthurmaciel: in console, grep psmouse /etc/modules
[22:17] <Wicked> skapism, i could build my own
[22:17] <skapism> Wicked: why would you want to do that if someone already did it for you?
[22:17] <axyelp> has anyone encountered ubiquity crashes while installing jaunty???
[22:17] <skapism> Wicked: the version in the ppa is likely patched. it's rather new
[22:18] <mak89> problem with the updates
[22:18] <ubuntu_> Hey guys i have a quick question... Ubuntu won't install citing some filesystem error, and the disk does not show up in gparted.  When I try to do a filesystem check I get the following at the end :Block 0 in primary superblock/group descriptor area bad.
[22:18] <ubuntu_> Blocks 0 through 2 must be good in order to build a filesystem.
[22:18] <ubuntu_> Aborting....
[22:18] <lundh> is it possible to install on a software raid using the livecd?
[22:18] <nikkiclau> arthurmaciel: perhaps psmouse is loaded by X, did you try to update the driver?
[22:18] <arthurmaciel> nikkiclau: I'm running ubuntu 9.04 with the most update packages
[22:18] <blizzkid> lundh: yes it's possible, but you'll have to dive into the command line
[22:19] <blizzkid> lundh: I can explain in outline if you want
[22:19] <brywilharris> Hi all
[22:19] <nikkiclau> arthurmaciel: can you modprobe psmouse for me and see if the mouse goes bonkers again?
[22:20] <lundh> blizzkid: thanks!
[22:20] <majnoon> anyone ever hear of a pulseaudio CLIENT for windows ??
 Hey guys i have a quick question... Ubuntu won't install citing some filesystem error, and the disk does not show up in gparted.  When I try to do a filesystem check I get the following at the end :Block 0 in primary superblock/group descriptor area bad.
 Blocks 0 through 2 must be good in order to build a filesystem.
 Aborting....
[22:20] <jnbptst> hi everyone
[22:20] <skapism> majnoon: pulsoaudio is crossplatform, I believe
[22:20] <dmhouse> Hey guys. I'm having problems with fullscreen flash. The frame rate is extremely low -- I estimate no more than 5ps. In windowed mode it works okay. This has only started happening recently, i.e. last week or so. Anything I could try?
[22:20] <blizzkid> lundh: basically what you'll have to do is create partitions and assign them the correct type using fdisk
[22:20] <majnoon> been looking at instructions BIG pain
[22:20] <lundh> blizzkid: I already have a software raid setup in arch, I want to keep it intact when i migrate to kubuntu
[22:20] <jnbptst> i would need some help on the wireless
[22:21] <arthurmaciel> nikkiclau: yes... just after loading the module the mouse moves to the corner
[22:21] <nikkiclau> arthurmaciel: better yet, what is your BIOS setting for USB legacy?
[22:21] <blizzkid> lundh: I see, not sure if that will work though, as it's a *software* raid
[22:21] <jnbptst> i disabled the wireless through right click on the network applet and now it's just GONE
[22:21] <majnoon> finally got pulseaudio to work semi right
[22:21] <jnbptst> no wireless in windows nor in linux
[22:21] <majnoon> in linux
[22:21] <blizzkid> lundh: I'd start from scratch
[22:21] <ironhacker> \msg nickserv register
[22:22] <jnbptst> it's like my computer doesn't even have a wireless card
[22:22] <ironhacker> oops
[22:22] <jnbptst> it doesn't appear anywhere
[22:22] <dayo> majnoon: pulseaudio is still ubuntu's biggest problem, imo.
[22:22] <lundh> blizzkid: cant, I have data on it that I need but anyway. it is possble. I have done int between other distributions before
[22:22] <arthurmaciel> nikkiclau: have no idea. Can see it at setup? Should I change it to something?
[22:22] <blizzkid> jnbptst: might sound stupid, but does your laptop has a hardware wifi switch? (lots of Dell models do)
[22:22] <nikkiclau> arthurmaciel: I've read on the interwibble that some bioses do a bad transition from USB (your mousepad) -> PS/2 resulting in unexplained consequences
[22:22] <jnbptst> blizzkid: yes, it's on
[22:22] <nikkiclau> arthurmaciel: yes, if it is enabled, try to disable it.
[22:22] <blizzkid> lundh: like I said "not sure" ;)
[22:22] <BCMM> how do you make vimdiff work on ubuntu?
[22:23] <dayo> BCMM: it should work just fine. what's wrong?
[22:23] <nikkiclau> arthurmaciel: this is called 'usb legacy mode'.
[22:23] <lundh> blizzkid: ok, Iäll try myself then :)
[22:23] <arthurmaciel> nikkiclau: but strange is that is only happened rarely on ubuntu 8.04 ou 8.10
[22:23] <GraphicRecursion> how do I add modules?
[22:23] <jnbptst> it's so weird, it's like the wireless card is SO disabled that it doesn't appear in any network tool that I have, even as disabled -- it's just not there
[22:23] <blizzkid> jnbptst: pastebin me the output of iwconfig and lspci -v please
[22:23] <BCMM> dayo, "this vim was not compiled with the diff feature"
[22:23] <arthurmaciel> nikkiclau: just upgraded and then after sometime it started.
[22:23] <mcphail> What is the state of play with the current 64-bit distro? Is it ready for daily use? Haven't tried since dapper...
[22:24] <dayo> BCMM: did u install vim-full, or are u using default vim? ubuntu comes with a trimmed down version, by default.
[22:24] <arthurmaciel> nikkiclau: curiously it did not start at the same time as of upgrade... hmm... really seems a BIOS problem. I'll check it. Thanks!
[22:24] <BCMM> dayo, i don't know, how do you install a full vim?
[22:24] <nikkiclau> arthurmaciel: well, if you try to disable this, it may work .. but if it doesn't, then maybe it is a problem with your mouse
[22:24] <amnesiauk> is there anyone who could help me ?
[22:24] <dayo> BCMM: sudo aptitude install vim-full
[22:24] <BCMM> dayo, thanks
[22:24] <nikkiclau> arthurmaciel: that is, the trackpad is "pressed" all the time (faulty hardware)
[22:24] <dayo> BCMM: vimdiff should work just fine after that.
[22:24] <dayo> BCMM: u're welcome :-)
[22:25] <arthurmaciel> nikkiclau: thanks!
[22:25] <amnesiauk> folks?
[22:25] <nikkiclau> arthurmaciel: you're very welcome :-)
[22:25] <hmw> !ask | amnesiauk
[22:25] <amnesiauk> dayo; may I bother you?
[22:25] <amnesiauk> ahh okay sorry...
[22:25] <dayo> amnesiauk: go ahead
[22:25] <mak89> is the 9.x version bug free
[22:26] <amnesiauk> well I just installed ubuntu on my new laptop(samsung r505\
[22:26] <amnesiauk> but it doesn't receive an ip adress
[22:26] <coleys> amnesiauk: Wireless or wired?
[22:26] <amnesiauk> wired* sorry
[22:26] <mcphail> Any real deal breakers with regards to codecs/plugins/drivers for 64bit vs 32bit these days?
[22:26] <coleys> amnesiauk: What card is it?
[22:26] <amnesiauk> dhclient eth0 resolves in an error telling me the message is too long
[22:26] <seg> hello. is there a thing like google desktop search for ubuntu?
[22:26] <Dr_Willis> mcphail:  i have no issues
[22:26] <dayo> amnesiauk: what's your network look like?
[22:27] <hmw> amnesiauk: did it get an IP before? you said new...
[22:27] <coleys> amnesiauk: Could be your router. =
[22:27] <amnesiauk> nope
[22:27] <amnesiauk> I'm not the same router now
[22:27] <amnesiauk> (running linux)
[22:27] <Dr_Willis> mcphail:  i cant think of any real ssues at all for anything 64bit. at least nothing ive found
[22:27] <nikkiclau> seg: IIRC, google desktop is for linux aswell ..
[22:27] <dayo> amnesiauk: pastebin the error
[22:27] <amnesiauk> no internet:p
[22:27] <amnesiauk> on that computer
[22:27] <Dr_Willis> google even has their chrome ported to linux now dont they?
[22:27] <amnesiauk> ahh well I'll type it over:p
[22:27] <seg> nikkiclau: oh, i did not realize that gdsearch was available for linux. it did not used to be
[22:28] <mcphail> Dr_Willis: last time i tried (dapper) there was a fair bit of chrooting required to get things working smoothly. Is this still the case?
[22:28] <Tigerboy> yes they do dr_willis
[22:28] <nikkiclau> amnesiauk: I've seen this on some broadcom wired cards .. windows "shuts them off" and "starts them again", causing linux to not be able to use the card ...
[22:28] <onthefence928> i have ubuntu 9.04 (with gnome) what do i do to give me the option to boot into KDE without having to reinstall everything? i want it run like Kubuntu, not just ubuntu w/ KDE slapped on top
[22:28] <dayo> ewwww, broadcom
[22:28] <Dr_Willis> mcphail:  ive had no issues whatso ever with 64bit under 9.04 -  i dont even notice i am using 64bit.. (well ffmpeg runs faster. :P   )
[22:28] <Dr_Willis> mcphail:  and how long ago was dapper? :)
[22:28] <coleys> onthefence928: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[22:28] <nikkiclau> seg: yeah .. i know, I followed this a bit some time ago, and if i remember correctly, they have GD for linux aswell now
[22:29] <coleys> onthefence928: then log out, and choose sessions and choose KDE.
[22:29] <dayo> onthefence928: kubuntu *is* ubuntu with KDE slapped on top
[22:29] <onthefence928> coleys thnx
[22:29] <amnesiauk> it isnt a broadcom
[22:29] <nikkiclau> dayo: yes, I know what youmean ;-)
[22:29] <Dr_Willis> google desktop, and gadgets, and chrome oh my!
[22:29] <mcphail> Dr_Willis: :). I've simply upgraded since then, but looking to do full reinstall this time
[22:29] <neoTheCat> does anybody know why mysql was linked against yassl instead of openssl?
[22:29] <nikkiclau> amnesiauk: can you pastebin a lspci for us?
[22:29] <Dr_Willis> mcphail:  i never upgrade. :) i alwya sdo clean installs.. much.. easier.
[22:29] <amnesiauk> okay
[22:29] <dayo> nikkiclau: i use gnome+xmonad, myself
[22:29] <onthefence928> dayo: i just figure there are some settings that Kubuntu may have that regular KDE doens't
[22:29] <amnesiauk> well
[22:30] <Dr_Willis> dayo:  gnonad ? that sounds dirty. :)
[22:30] <onthefence928> and i know that when i use fluxbox not everything works properly
[22:30] <amnesiauk> nikkiclau, ethernet controller: marvell Technology Group Ltd. Device 4380
[22:30] <dayo> Dr_Willis: gnonad. i'll remember that. lol
[22:30] <elena09> hello
[22:30] <nikkiclau> dayo: nice .. :)
[22:30] <Leszczoman> hihi
[22:30] <Leszczoman> hi*
[22:31] <mcphail> Dr_Willis: do 32 bit binaries from outwith the repos run transparently now?
[22:31] <nikkiclau> dayo: years ago I used WindowMaker, stable as a rock and ultra-fast ..
[22:31] <amnesiauk> any use to you guys?
[22:31] <Dr_Willis> mcphail:  i dont know  :) as far as i can tell they do.. im not sure what i got that even is 32bit. its been totally a no-brainer-no-problems
[22:31] <nikkiclau> dayo: plus, noone knew how to use it except me so I could leave the computer without harm :)
[22:31] <dayo> onthefence928: well, i guess u could either reinstall kubuntu, or just sudo apt-get kubuntu-desktop, which is the same a reinstall+gnomeStillThere
[22:31] <elena09> Where do I find a solution (if any) for a bug from the bug list?
[22:32] <nikkiclau> amnesiauk: marvell ... lemme google that for yah
[22:32] <mcphail> Dr_Willis: excellent! I'll torrent the 64bit live disk and give it a spin
[22:32] <Dr_Willis> amnesiauk:  ive had issues with 'marvell' nics under linux in the past. :()
[22:32] <amnesiauk> crap
[22:32] <onthefence928> dayo it'm doing the KDE+Gnome route so i can compare side by side
[22:32] <dayo> nikkiclau: heh, same here. our systems admin is notoriously kde-minded. won't let me install xmonad on our lab desktops
[22:32] <amnesiauk> so it might not be supported:S?
[22:32] <Dr_Willis> amnesiauk:   not sure what the deal was or if it was just specific ones, but this pc and its built in NIC was giveing me some big issues for a long time.
[22:32] <dayo> onthefence928: sounds reasonable
[22:32] <cluke009> uh
[22:32] <Dr_Willis> amnesiauk:  i ended up putting in a cheap gigiabit card.
[22:32] <nikkiclau> dayo: at least he's not running only windows like in my environment ;-)
[22:32] <amnesiauk> crap:'(
[22:32] <Kubuntu__> hmw: Can you repeat the mount command for the windows disk?
[22:32] <amnesiauk> it's a laptop
[22:33] <Dr_Willis> amnesiauk: bummer.
[22:33] <nikkiclau> amnesiauk: Dell 1500ish?
[22:33] <amnesiauk> nope
[22:33] <hanasaki> where can I download jeos for jaunty?
[22:33] <amnesiauk> screw dell
[22:33] <amnesiauk> samsung r505
[22:33] <dayo> nikkiclau: good God, no. we have one tiny lab that's only windows. but the rest of the university is ubuntuland
[22:33] <Dr_Willis> amnesiauk:  check the output of 'dmesg' as its running. i got tons of 'messages' in there about the nic  on my flakey box.
[22:33] <hmw> Kubuntu__ sudo mkdir /media/mysidk && sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/mydisk
[22:33] <nikkiclau> dayo: happy country .. :)
[22:33] <Dr_Willis> !jeos
[22:33] <onthefence928> now i just need to figure out why it won't let me turn the extra desktop affects to max anymore?
[22:33] <hmw> Kubuntu__ wathc out TYPO
[22:33] <dayo> nikkiclau: it sure is :-)
[22:34] <hmw> Kubuntu__ sudo mkdir /media/mydisk && sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/mydisk
[22:34] <Kubuntu__> hmw: caught it.
[22:34] <hanasaki> Dr_Willis:  that does not have a jaunty.. just 8.04
[22:34] <amnesiauk> should I look for eth0 at dmesg?
[22:34] <elena09> Where do I find a solution (if any) for a bug from the bug list?
[22:34] <nikkiclau> amnesiauk: sure, just use grep
[22:35] <hanasaki> how can I do a very minimal install? without any GUI packages? no gnome etc...
[22:35] <nickrud> !minimal > nickrud
[22:35] <hmw> elena09: try "google <bugname> solution". Bugs in those lists tend to be unsolved, so you could repair it on your own ;-)
[22:35] <nickrud> !minimal > hanasaki
[22:35] <oscar> hello
[22:35] <dayo> hanasaki: Alternate CD?
[22:36] <nickrud> alternate still gets you a gui
[22:36] <amnesiauk> sky2 eth0: addr = XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
[22:36] <amnesiauk> enabling interface
[22:36] <nickrud> server won't, but minimal is even smaller
[22:36] <nikkiclau> you can use the server cd iirc
[22:36] <nikkiclau> but you have to set the install as minimal
[22:36] <amnesiauk> link is up at 100mbps, full duplex, flow control both
[22:36] <dayo> nickrud: really? mine doesn't :-/
[22:36] <hanasaki> nickrud:  thanks... so when to use alternate vs miniaml?
[22:36] <elena09>  hmw: I saw some were fixed but I forgot the link of Ubuntu solved bug list
[22:36] <nickrud> dayo, jaunty alternate cd? Are you sure you're not thinking server cd?
[22:37] <oscar> i have a doubt in python
[22:37] <nikkiclau> hanasaki: alternative was good for a LTSP server install for instance
[22:37] <dayo> !minimal > dayo
[22:37] <hmw> amnesiauk: do you know, how your network is configured? i.e. do you know, what IP settings would be OK?
[22:37] <amnesiauk> yup
[22:37] <nickrud> hanasaki, minimal is for when you want even less than generic server setup :)
[22:37] <dayo> nickrud: hardy's alt. used it to install my servers last year.
[22:37] <hmw> amnesiauk: then start with manually assigning IP address: sudo ifconfig eth0 <IP_ADDRESS> and then try pinging the DHCP server
[22:37] <amnesiauk> okay
[22:38] <hmw> amnesiauk: of course you need to assign a valid IP
[22:38] <amnesiauk> uhu I know:)
[22:38] <nickrud> dayo, I've always used alternate cd's to install, habit since I had issues with really early desktops on a particular machine. They always had guis ...
[22:38] <dayo> nickrud: yes, but not by default. u would have to sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop, post-install
[22:39] <amnesiauk> hmw
[22:39] <elena09> Whenever I download a file from the Internet it's on my desktop. I downloaded many installation files. Where shoud they be downloaded and how could I do that?
[22:39] <amnesiauk> siocsifaddr: No buffer space available
[22:39] <xaora> #ubuntu-es
[22:39] <nikkiclau> amnesiauk: sounds like a bad driver/card
[22:39] <neoTheCat> does anybody know a good, simple file only sqlite other than sqlite or embedded mysql?
[22:39] <nickrud> dayo, I"m sure you're confusing the server cd and the alternate cd
[22:39] <amnesiauk> :'(
[22:39] <und3rgr0undz3r0> anyone know how to uninstall kde3?
[22:39] <hmw> elena09: i usually keep downloaded files somewhere in my install collection dir. Its up to your taste
[22:39] <amnesiauk> what can I do ;bout it?
[22:40] <nikkiclau> amnesiauk: perhaps if you try to downgrade / upgrade the kernel?
[22:40] <amnesiauk> (I'm new in linux )
[22:40] <dayo> nickrud: hmmm
[22:40] <hmw> amnesiauk: can you ping the DHCP machine?
[22:40] <nikkiclau> amnesiauk: ah ..
[22:40] <nikkiclau> hmw: no, no buffer space ..
[22:40] <elena09> Where is that install colection dir?
[22:40] <amnesiauk> nope
[22:40] <amnesiauk> it states the networks unreachable
[22:40] <neoTheCat> s/only sqlite/only database/
[22:41] <hmw> nikkiclau: you talk about amnesiauk?
[22:41] <dayo> elena09: using firefox to download?
[22:41] <nikkiclau> hmw: yes
[22:41] <amnesiauk> my nic...
[22:41] <mcphail> elena09: you can download files to wherever you feel comfortable. Are you trying to install new software?
[22:41] <erUSUL> neoTheCat: berckleydb ? tokyo cabinet?
[22:41] <elena09> hmw:Where is that install colection dir?
[22:41] <hmw> nikkiclau: looks like a damaged NIC or bad driver
[22:41] <hmw> elena09: on my windows box, D:\installs
[22:41] <elena09> yes mcphail
[22:41] <amnesiauk> how could I install another driver on linux?
[22:41] <nikkiclau> hmw: yup ..
[22:41] <mcphail> elena09: have you tried the ubuntu repositories first?
[22:41] <joshjtl> what file (it's no longer xorg.com) can I see what my mouse is set up as?
[22:41] <neoTheCat> erUSUL: berkelydb is not sql, but i never heard of tokyo cabinet,  i'll check that one out.  thanks.
[22:42] <elena09> I don't have any windows, I thought we were on Ubuntu
[22:42] <nickrud> dayo, compare http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04/ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.list,  http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04/ubuntu-9.04-alternate-i386.list and http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04/ubuntu-9.04-server-i386.list
[22:42] <nikkiclau> amnesiauk: can you tell me again the vendor and version of the nic?
[22:42] <amnesiauk> well marvell and the device id is 4380
[22:42] <hmw> elena09: i meant, you *could* keep them somewhere safe. You could create a dir in your home dir, or just make a Download folder on your desktop. There is no place, where to "collect" downloaded install programs
[22:42] <und3rgr0undz3r0> can ANYONE help me rid my system of KDE3?
[22:42] <nikkiclau> und3rgr0undz3r0: sudo apt-get purge kde
[22:42] <tommi69> hi there - is it possible to select text from the TTY without having to use the mouse? and how about paste without using the mouse
[22:43] <elena09> I need the commands for the terminal to download a file somewhere and then to run it
[22:43] <und3rgr0undz3r0> nikkiclau, will that also kill kde4?
[22:43] <nickrud> !puregnome | und3rgr0undz3r0
[22:43] <erUSUL> tommi69: in bash it is posible to copy and paste...
[22:43] <nikkiclau> und3rgr0undz3r0: pobably ..
[22:43] <hmw> elena09: but synaptic and apt keep their .deb files somewhere. I wouldnt put my manually downloaded things there, because I normally have a reason, why I manually downloaded it. Therefore, i prefer to keep my downloaded isntalls in SOME collection directory.
[22:43] <nikkiclau> s/pobably/probably
[22:43] <und3rgr0undz3r0> nikkiclau, thanks
[22:43] <joshjtl> what file (it's no longer xorg.com) can I see what my mouse is set up as? (running ubuntu)
[22:43] <tommi69> erUSUL: do you know where i can find info on that? shift+arrows doesn't highlight words
[22:43] <Kubuntu__> hmw: thanks, Copying all 80GB now..this is going to take all night -sigh-
[22:44] <SFauconnier> hi all, can someone take a look at a problem I explained on the forums? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7213788
[22:44] <dayo> elena09: /var/cache/apt/archives
[22:44] <esmeralda> hi guis
[22:44] <elena09> ok, but after that, how can I make it possible that all downloaded files go there?
[22:44] <hmw> nikkiclau amnesiauk - bad drivers are very unlikely for NIC adaptors. How can we track the problem down? what was it about buffers?
[22:44] <nikkiclau> amnesiauk: can you do 'uname -a' for me and paste the output?
[22:44] <esmeralda>  how dowload videos
[22:44] <nickrud> elena09, that's not a good place to download files
[22:44] <SFauconnier> anyone have any experience with setting up an ubuntu DHCP server?
[22:45] <amnesiauk> okay

[22:45] <bigjocker> is there a way to disable the new notification system?
[22:45] <erUSUL> tommi69: it uses emacs combos... crtl + space marks the begining of the selection then you move to the other end and do Alt + w to copy... crtl + y pastes
[22:45] <amnesiauk> hmw: it said there wasnt any buffer space available
[22:45] <Kubuntu__> ^^ lol
[22:45] <bigjocker> i really hate it
[22:45] <erUSUL> tommi69: you can configure it to use vi combos
[22:45] <nikkiclau> amnesiauk: it worked in windows, right?
[22:45] <hmw> amnesiauk: what exactly was that "it"?
[22:45] <elena09> what place is not good?
[22:45] <tommi69> erUSUL: that would rule, i'll look into that thanks a lot
[22:45] <nickrud> elena09, you'd be better off making a dir ~/Downloads and putting stuff there
[22:45] <Pure_Chaos> Hi, I just dualboot installed ubuntu with Vista, can someone tell me how to set Vista as the default boot option?
[22:45] <amnesiauk> sorry?
[22:45] <mcphail> elena09: /var/cache/apt/archives/
[22:45] <bigjocker> sorry
[22:46] <erUSUL> tommi69: look into configure readline library
[22:46] <amnesiauk> hmw how'd you mean?
[22:46] <bigjocker> is there a way to disable the new notification system? i REALLY hate it!
[22:46] <bigjocker> ;)
[22:46] <erUSUL> !notification
[22:46] <nickrud> elena09, /var/cache/apt/archives is a system file place, not a normal user dir
[22:46] <eduardo_> hola
[22:46] <hmw> amnesiauk: what do you have to do, to get that error message? is it in dmesg, syslog, or when doing ifconfig, ...
[22:46] <dayo> nickrud: on the Alt link u posted, ubuntu-desktop is listed: /pool/main/u/ubuntu-meta/ubuntu-desktop_1.140_i386.deb
[22:46] <SFauconnier> anyone have any experience with setting up an ubuntu DHCP server?
[22:46] <mcphail> elena09: you should store anything you download in a directory under your home directory. ~/Downloads is a good idea
[22:46] <nikkiclau> amnesiauk hmw : I suggest checking for a hardware ghost .... amnesiauk, can you swap out the LAN cable for some cable you know works (in a different port in the router)
[22:46] <dayo> SFauconnier: done it a few times. how can i help?
[22:46] <nickrud> dayo, yep, and it's loaded during install
[22:47] <amnesiauk> eeehm
[22:47] <hmw> elena09: apt and synaptics store their .deb files in /var/..., but I also recommend to use ~/Downloads for manually downloaded stuff
[22:47] <Tom__> Pure Chaos when it comes upw with the boot menu u should be able to press an option and change it
[22:47] <dayo> nickrud: odd. mine install just the CLI.
[22:47] <amnesiauk> the cable's fine
[22:47] <amnesiauk> since I've aleady done that
[22:47] <Tom__> by pressing a F key possible....
[22:47] <MOUD> Hello
[22:47] <Tom__> trying to go by memory
[22:47] <glastra> how does one enable the cube in desktop switching on ubuntu 9.04
[22:47] <nikkiclau> amnesiauk: done what? (sry)
[22:47] <erUSUL> !ccsm | glastra
[22:47] <amnesiauk> swapped the cable
[22:47] <glastra> thx
[22:48] <Benwa> hi, i don't know how to limit the bandwidth with scp. on a server with no graphic interface.
[22:48] <amnesiauk> + my routers led is turned on for that port
[22:48] <MOUD> I had ubuntu installed on my machine and I installed windows XP and the boot loader is gone, how can I have the old ubuntu boot loader back?
[22:48] <SFauconnier> dayo: I've sent you a private message, hope that's ok
[22:48] <nickrud> !grub | MOUD
[22:48] <amnesiauk> hmw: sudo ifconfig eth0 = <IP_ADDRESS>, I guess thats giving it a static adress?
[22:48] <MOUD> thanks
[22:48] <hmw> glastra: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[22:49] <hmw> amnesiauk: right.
[22:49] <nikkiclau> amnesiauk: In my past i've seen cables that sometimes are not totally reliable, even though they show all the lights in the world (even testing the cable worked, until putting stress on it).
[22:49] <dayo> SFauconnier: maybe u should post publicly, so others might benefit from the info, too. and u might want to go to #ubuntu-server. i'm logged in there, too.
[22:49] <SFauconnier> thanks
[22:49] <amnesiauk> I've used the cable on this computer
[22:49] <amnesiauk> and it worked
[22:49] <nikkiclau> amnesiauk: ok ..
[22:49] <amnesiauk> though it didnt on the other laptop
[22:49] <amnesiauk> :(
[22:50] <nikkiclau> amnesiauk: the other laptop is the laptop you're trying to set networking on?
[22:50] <hmw> amnesiauk: there is no equality sign in that command! ifconfig eth0 <ipaddress>
[22:50] <virtuelv> anyone here try to connect Jaunty to a TV with 1366x768 panel resolution?
[22:50] <amnesiauk> nikkiclau
[22:50] <amnesiauk> the networks already set up fine
[22:50] <squidly> virtuelv: actually my tv is must higher resolution
[22:50] <squidly> and it works fine
[22:51] <virtuelv> squidly: yeah, I'd expect some TVs to work fine
[22:51] <squidly> virtuelv: what is up with your system?
[22:51] <amnesiauk> hwm how'd you mean...
[22:51] <younder> Why does my ubuntu distro not play DVD's?
[22:51] <virtuelv> problem is, after Jaunty, my laptop no longer recognizes the screen as 1366x768, as it did in the past
[22:51] <amnesiauk> I did enter sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.0,1
[22:51] <virtuelv> and adding the modes to xorg.conf didn't help
[22:51] <heguru> !dvd | younder
[22:51] <hmw> amnesiauk: you used a "=" in your question. the command is sudo ifconfig <interface> <ip-address>
[22:51] <amnesiauk> I guess it should be between >< right?
[22:52] <amnesiauk> shouldn't*
[22:52] <squidly> virtuelv: that is odd. Though this is not my laptop, its my myhthfrontend that is connected to my tv
[22:52] <jnbptst> blizzkid: it worked!!!
[22:52] <amnesiauk> sudo ifconfig eth0 <IP_ADDRESS> < that's correct right?
[22:52] <virtuelv> squidly: note that this is happening on three separate laptops
[22:52] <hmw> amnesiauk: dont forget to type "hmw", if youre talking to me, or i might miss something
[22:52] <virtuelv> two intel, and one ati
[22:52] <hmw> amnesiauk: yes
[22:52] <GraphicRecursion> When I add a module with modprobe, is it permenent?
[22:52] <blizzkid> jnbptst: NICE :)
[22:52] <jnbptst> blizzkid: there must have been an evil genius in my computer... that shit is so weird
[22:52] <GraphicRecursion> or if I reboot do I have to redo modprobe?
[22:52] <blizzkid> oops, sorry for the caps jnbptst
[22:53] <jnbptst> blizzkid: thanks a lot for taking some time to help me
[22:53] <squidly> virtuelv: ahh..idk what to say about that one.
[22:53] <amnesiauk> hmw yup it still tells me there isn't any buffer space available:S
[22:53] <ianm_> how does an integrated NVidia GeForce 2800 do dual-monitor with the NVidia config tool?  can you run two fullscreen apps on the two outputs?  eg. in this box http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856101073
[22:53] <heguru> GraphicRecursion: add the name of the module to /etc/modules to load it on boot
[22:53] <squidly> I've not had an issue with that
[22:53] <blizzkid> jnbptst: did it just work after the battery thing or was it something else?
[22:53] <hmw> amnesiauk: when you type that command, the error is shown??
[22:53] <GraphicRecursion> thanks heguru!
[22:53] <jnbptst> blizzkid: i had started "restart" before but i guess the real shutdown was the way to go
[22:53] <jnbptst> blizzkid: no the full shutdown and battery removal just worked
[22:53] <amnesiauk> hwm: SIOCSIFADDR: No buffer space availavle
[22:54] <blizzkid> jnbptst: ok, glad it worked :)
[22:54] <amnesiauk> available*
[22:54] <jnbptst> blizzkid: wireless remains buggy in jaunty when i'm on busy public networks, but that's another issue
[22:54] <jnbptst> blizzkid: thanks a lot again
[22:54] <invictus> !
[22:54] <hmw> amnesiauk: you still didnt answer, the error is triggered by that ifconfig command?
[22:54] <blizzkid> you're very welcome jnbptst
[22:54] <amnesiauk> yup
[22:54] <jnbptst> blizzkid: i gotta go back to that 20 page paper i'm writing now ahah, bye!
[22:54] <hmw> ok
[22:54] <amnesiauk> hmw: sorry:P
[22:54] <DataKiller> Hello ubuntu users :]
[22:54] <amgarchIn9> what are all those functions in "declare -p" starting with underscore good for?
[22:55] <hmw> amnesiauk: btw. most IRC clients have nickname completion. try typing hm<TAB>
[22:55] <amnesiauk> yeah I knolw but when I do that I get a list of every user starting with hm:P
[22:55] <amnesiauk> might be someting new in xchat
[22:55] <amnesiauk> since I'm also used to pressing tab
[22:56] <nikkiclau> amnesiauk: only one hm*
[22:56] <amnesiauk> yeah I know
[22:56] <nikkiclau> amnesiauk: ATM
[22:56] <jon_high9000> If i use : sudo iptables -A INPUT -p  tcp  --destination port 30065 -j ACCEPT will that be enough to open it?
[22:56] <hmw> amnesiauk: try looking at the boot messages, and filter them for "eth": dmesg | grep eth
[22:56] <hmw> amnesiauk: do you see something that helps?
[22:56] <purechaos> Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to change the default boot in a dualboot system (vista+ubuntu side by side) from Ubuntu to Vista. Can someone help?
[22:56] <amnesiauk> how do I see the bootmessages?
[22:56] <MiscDebris> Where can I go for come screwy kontact help?
[22:57] <hmw> amnesiauk: try looking at the boot messages, and filter them for "eth": dmesg | grep eth
[22:57] <amnesiauk> okay wait a sec
[22:57] <mibbim> hi. is there any way to get 3d acceleration (opengl) work on mobility radeon 9700 using the open source drivers on jaunty? i know fglrx doesn't work anymore...
[22:57] <whiter> anyone know why my system wont play DVD's? i tried mplayer and VLC but both don't ever start playing the disc
[22:57] <nikkiclau> amnesiauk: either by dmesg or /var/log/syslog (or even /var/log/messages)
[22:57] <amnesiauk> nikkiclau, okay
[22:57] <nikkiclau> whiter: google medibuntu
[22:57] <erUSUL> mibbim: the radeon driver should support that card pretty well
[22:57] <heguru> !codec | whiter
[22:57] <MiscDebris> whiter: you need to add in the medibuntu repository and add in libdvdcss2
[22:57] <zer0o> hi guys can someone help me with updating NEXUIZ to version 2.5? i downloaded the .deb package but when running it it says its missing the Nexuiz-data dependancy thus i downloaded it to and put them both in /home, while i run one or the other is always saying is missin the other one's dependency... where am i wrong? thanks
[22:57] <amnesiauk> sorry if I'm making stupid sentences
[22:57] <hmw> nikkiclau: i am out of knowledge. Sounds like some serious hardware/driver failure, what do you think?
[22:57] <whiter> MiscDebris: i did that already
[22:58] <mibbim> erUSUL: thanks for the tip. is the driver enabled by default?
[22:58] <amnesiauk> I'm really new at this:p
[22:58] <nikkiclau> hmw: perhaps a system reboot is needed, a newer kernel (with updated driver) ...
[22:58] <erUSUL> mibbim: i suppose if not you will have to specify it on the xorg.conf file
[22:58] <MiscDebris> /w whiter did you add in any mpeg decoders?
[22:58] <nikkiclau> hmw: i've seen this before .. just been so many years since this happened to me
[22:58] <MiscDebris> well crap, it's been a ling time since i've IRCed.
[22:58] <mibbim> erUSUL: alright. i will look into that :)
[22:59] <hmw> amnesiauk: what ubuntu version do you use?
[22:59] <whiter> MiscDebris: i dont think so
[22:59] <amnesiauk> 8.10
[22:59] <nikkiclau> amnesiauk: update please
[22:59] <amnesiauk> hmw: mmm some interesting crap
[22:59] <nikkiclau> s/update/upgrade
[22:59] <hmw> nikkiclau: how without inet conn??
[22:59] <heguru> zer0o: you can try using the terminal: dpkg -i nexuiz-data.deb nexuiz.deb on the same line
[22:59] <qcjn> hi, i've put the launchpad deb in my source list. So now if i erase "sudo apt-get autoremove mpd" and re-install, or just do an update/upgrade, should do the thing, and install me version 15 ??
[22:59] <amnesiauk> hmw, Driver "sr" needs updating - please use bus_type methods
[22:59] <nikkiclau> hmw: ubuntu 9.04 CD
[22:59] <qcjn> cause it still shoew me 0.14.2
[22:59] <erUSUL> zer0o: Nexuiz-data should not have dependencies...
[22:59] <amnesiauk> hmw,  and driver "sd" needs updating
[23:00] <amnesiauk> sky2 eth0: enabling interfaces
[23:00] <nikkiclau> amnesiauk: Get the ubuntu 9.04 CD and upgrade your computer ... I think it might be worth it (unless you need to use cisco VPN with vpnc ..)
[23:00] <koshari> wtv not all packages are on the cd, , for example the nvidia restricted drivers need to be downloaded from a repository
[23:00] <MiscDebris> /whisper whiter that would be a good place to start.  you can try loading amarok as it requests some codecs.  you can also install the restricted package for your ubuntu-type
[23:00] <MiscDebris> smirk
[23:00] <zer0o> erUSUL: i launched nexuiz the .deb auto-installing package, it says nexuiz-data dependency's missing, could u help?
[23:00] <hmw> amnesiauk: due to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=970086 this is a harmless warning (sd update)
[23:00] <amnesiauk> hda-intel: Invalid position buffer using LPIB read method instead
[23:00] <erUSUL> zer0o: install nexuiz-data first then the other
[23:01] <amnesiauk> isn't that just the sd card reader?
[23:01] <mercutio22> so the CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE shortcut was removed in Jaunty? How do I get it back?
[23:01] <kevi2> hi all
[23:01] <hmw> amnesiauk: did that message show up, when grepping for eth?
[23:01] <MiscDebris> /whiter google ubuntu medibuntu and follow those instructions.
[23:01] <whiter> MiscDebris: i dont know what you mean, i followed the instructions for mediaubuntu and installed libdvdcss2
[23:01] <erUSUL> !dontzap | mercutio22
[23:01] <nikkiclau> amnesiauk: no, that's the driver for scsi disks (read SATA)
[23:01] <mibbim> btw how come ctrl-alt-backspace (kill x) doesn't work in jaunty anymore? is there something special i need to do to kill x now?
[23:01] <amnesiauk> it also sates: sky2 eth0: link is up at 100mbps full duplex flow control both
[23:01] <hmw> mercutio22: google for jaunty dontzapp
[23:01] <koshari> mercutio22: you need to add a few lines to your xorg.conf file
[23:01] <amnesiauk> oh okay
[23:01] <erUSUL> !dontzap | mibbim
[23:01] <amnesiauk> hmw,  yes it did
[23:02] <amnesiauk> hmw, I grepped for eth0
[23:02] <zer0o> erUSUL: as i already said ive downloaded nexuiz-data also and tried to install it but it says the other package "nexuiz" is missing....
[23:02] <MiscDebris> brb whiter
[23:02] <mercutio22> Thanks dodes
[23:02] <nikkiclau> amnesiauk: Do you know how to upgrade ubuntu with a CD?
[23:02] <amnesiauk> ehm
[23:02] <koshari> mercutio22 heres the lines, Section "ServerFlags"
[23:02] <koshari>     Option        "DontZap"    "off"
[23:02] <koshari> EndSection
[23:02] <mibbim> erUSUL: excellent. thanks. time to kill some x :)
[23:02] <amnesiauk> nope:p
[23:03] <amnesiauk> I'll crap a usb stick:p
[23:03] <nikkiclau> amnesiauk: well, usb stick works also ..
[23:03] <amnesiauk> so I should try 9.04?
[23:03] <kevi2> does anyone here know how to disable ipv6 for faster internet? if not ill share how?
[23:03] <mercutio22> koshari> should I say DontZap on?
[23:03] <nikkiclau> amnesiauk: yes ..
[23:03] <amnesiauk> okay
[23:03] <Adyeths> 9.04 is unstable imho.
[23:03] <nikkiclau> amnesiauk: you don't have to use cisco VPN do you?
[23:03] <amnesiauk> nope
[23:03] <nikkiclau> Adyeths: only if you use vpnc
[23:03] <nikkiclau> amnesiauk: ok
[23:03] <hmw> Adyeths: how do you come to that impression?
[23:03] <amnesiauk> and if that doesn't fix it? does that mean my nic isn't supported:(?
[23:04] <Adyeths> I've been fighting with it ever since installing it.
[23:04] <u235meltdown> I'm having a bit of an issue with gnome-panel on 9.04 unr, if anyone knows about something similar
[23:04] <G-Robert> need help i installed ubuntu but at the login screen there is no keyboard input: I went into the console and typed: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-inut-all and it tells me package not found.
[23:04] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[23:04] <nikkiclau> amnesiauk: no, might be something that's wrong with the driver settings ..
[23:04] <hoymkot> hey
[23:04] <Adyeths> I locks up on me randomly.
[23:04] <amnesiauk> mkay
[23:04] <amnesiauk> well okay I'll install it now
[23:04] <amnesiauk> wait a sec
[23:04] <ActionParsnip> G-Robert: did you md5 check the iso you used to burn the install cd with? Which iso did you download?
[23:04] <MiscDebris> whiter: run amarok.  it will suggest additional packages to install.
[23:05] <whiter> MiscDebris, alrighty
[23:05] <hmw> Adyeths: must be a certain driver or hardware bug. Jaunty is stable for many people, i know. Too bad.
[23:05] <MiscDebris> anyone here use Kontact?
[23:05] <nikkiclau> Adyeths: if you want stability, debian's known for being rock stable for years on end
[23:05] <whiter> oh wait, totem now works, as well as mplayer
[23:05] <whiter> but VLC wont
[23:05] <whiter> hmm
[23:05] <ActionParsnip> !anyone | MiscDebris
[23:05] <Adyeths> I wish I could find out what the problem is and fix it.
[23:05] <hoymkot> I upgrade from 8.10 to 9.4, the computer freezes while it is trying to start a gui session, what should i od
[23:05] <RoosterJuice> noob question: how do i get a list of switches in console
[23:05] <nikkiclau> Adyeths: how'd you upgrade? from what version?
[23:05] <Adyeths> been having this issue since 8.10 ... should have just stuck with 8.04 which was rock solid.
[23:05] <ActionParsnip> hoymkot: if you create a new user, does it lock up with that user too?
[23:06] <nikkiclau> RoosterJuice: please explain further
[23:06] <Adyeths> I installed 9.04 cleanly. reformatted the partition.
[23:06] <hoymkot> from 8.10 , using the auto update
[23:06] <nikkiclau> Adyeths: did you use the same home directory?
[23:06] <hmw> Adyeths: you could unplug as much hardware as possible (including second and third RAM modules) and look, if you still get lockups. Then replugging piece by piece until troubles come back.
[23:06] <Adyeths> I kept my home directory intact since I didn't want to lose anything.
[23:06] <RoosterJuice> nikkiclau, i would like to know how to see arguements for a command... IE user -??
[23:07] <nikkiclau> Adyeths: try creating a new user and see if it locks up on you then
[23:07] <hoymkot> nikiclau, i use the automatic update
[23:07] <RoosterJuice> i guess they are called options
[23:07] <MiscDebris> Kontact's calendar is screwing up dates from an import of a calendar directory from 3.5.9.  How it screws up depends on which view I use.
[23:07] <helper> helo brothers need issue with this i want if i press alt +ccontol+f1 and then press alt+control +f7 require password to display GUI mode how ?
[23:07] <neskat> RoosterJuice: command --useage ?
[23:07] <nikkiclau> RoosterJuice: generally programs have --help switches
[23:07] <MiscDebris> Mainly, it either moves an appointment or just flat out doesn't display it.
[23:07] <nikkiclau> RoosterJuice: or even -h or -?
[23:07] <hoymkot> nikiclau, i can get into the recovery mode.
[23:07] <Adyeths> thanks for the suggestion. I will try that.
[23:07] <hoymkot> and use the console to do something
[23:07] <MiscDebris> whiter: so it's working now then?
[23:08] <RoosterJuice> nikkiclau, ok a better question is how do i change the password for the root user
[23:08] <hmw> !noroot > RoosterJuice
[23:08] <nikkiclau> Adyeths: you're welcome
[23:08] <hoymkot> so, can i downgrade to 8.10
[23:08] <nikkiclau> RoosterJuice: sudo passwd
[23:08] <neskat> RoosterJuice: you're not supposed to have a root password, you're supposed to use sudo when you need root privilages
[23:08] <ActionParsnip> !downgrade | hoymkot
[23:08] <dylan_> hey how do I install kde 3.5.x ? all I have is kde 4, but I can't get any of the old programs like adept_manager ect..
[23:09] <ActionParsnip> hoymkot: to downgrade you will need a clean install
[23:09] <helper>  helo brothers need issue with this i want if i press alt +ccontol+f1 and then press alt+control +f7 require password to display GUI mode how ?
[23:09] <RoosterJuice> nikkiclau, ok how do i change a password for a user
[23:09] <nikkiclau> hoymkot: this sounds like a video driver issue .. what type of graphics card do you use?
[23:09] <hoymkot> ubottu, so what should i do
[23:09] <hmw> RoosterJuice: either install pam_usb (your flash disk replaces password typing) or use sudo to become root (read man page).
[23:09] <neskat> RoosterJuice: type passwd
[23:09] <nikkiclau> RoosterJuice: as the user type passwd
[23:09] <nikkiclau> RoosterJuice: as root, type passwd username
[23:09] <MiscDebris> Ok, where can I go to find answers about kontact?
[23:09] <progre55> hey guys! what is the best way to install Counter-Strike under ubuntu? when you dont have windows as dual boot, so that you cannot use wine
[23:10] <neskat> progre55: why can't you use wine?
[23:10] <hmw> RoosterJuice: there is no need to give root a password, look up sudo instead.
[23:10] <desmond> does anyone know the mactel support channel?
[23:10] <ActionParsnip> progre55: wine doesnt need a windows system to be installed to use it
[23:10] <nikkiclau> progre55: check out playonlinux
[23:10] <hoymkot> nikkiclau, it should be an integate intel video card
[23:10] <stefg> Is there any working backup solution for jaunty on ext4? partimage won't cut it (no ext4 support), and the usual suspects like the sysrescd or partedmagic won't assemble my mdadm raid1... any pointers?
[23:10] <progre55> neskat, I mean, cant use it to play directly from windows )
[23:10] <hoymkot> nikiclau, like the one that go with the motherboard
[23:10] <neskat> progre55: install wine
[23:10] <ActionParsnip> progre55: you will need to use wine with the steam installer to install cs
[23:11] <desmond> does anyone know the mactel support channel?
[23:11] <ActionParsnip> progre55: do you think wine needs to be installed on a system that has windows on it as well?
[23:11] <progre55> neskat, actually, I do have wine, what I meant was.. well, forget :) so, I should install CS with wine?
[23:11] <dylan_> is there a way to install kde 3.5.x ?? the Ubuntu I have only has kde 4.0
[23:11] <ActionParsnip> !appdb | progre55
[23:11] <perillu> Is there any way to use SCIM or something similar to for math symbols?  For example, so I can change to the proper input method and simply type r^{2} and will replace it with r², or something like %lambda for λ for example.  ??
[23:11] <AntORG> progre55, http://www.playonlinux.com/en/
[23:11] <Omoikane__> I'm looking at doing a fresh install but I don't want to lose all of my SSH bookmarks and their corresponding logins/passwords. What files do I have to copy over?
[23:11] <nikkiclau> hoymkot: hmm .. do you get any error messages on the screen?
[23:11] <progre55> ActionParsnip, no of course :) what I ment was different :)
[23:11] <KernelX> On the powerpc kernel is able to run i386 binaries?
[23:11] <progre55> AntORG, thanks man
[23:12] <nikkiclau> Omoikane__: /home
[23:12] <G-Robert> i donwloaded 8.04 off the website?
[23:12] <ActionParsnip> Omoikane__: how do you ssh? You cana copy ~/.ssh to copy your keys over
[23:12] <mauri29> hello: any body knows how to create new "text files" with dolphin and made them work with Windows EndOfFile format ?
[23:12] <AntORG> progre55, it's using wine, but it makes the installation a whole lot easier with a special interface to install popular apps
[23:12] <hoymkot> nikiclau, nope,   it just freeze, there is only  a weird picture
[23:12] <progre55> ActionParsnip, it's just, I used to have CS installed on windows, and used wine to directly play it..
[23:12] <hmw> mOmoikane__ for ssh ~/.ssh/ should be enough
[23:13] <progre55> AntORG, cool, I'll check it out now
[23:13] <batte> hi all, anyone had troubles of spontsious rebooting?
[23:13] <ActionParsnip> progre55: ive never done it that way, i'd imagine you'd have to cleanly install it into your wine virtual dir
[23:13] <neskat> batte: only because of overheating
[23:13] <helper>  helo brothers need issue with this i want if i press alt +ccontol+f1 and then press alt+control +f7 require password to display GUI mode how ?
[23:13] <desmond_> i cant get my track pad to read the synaptic file
[23:13] <ActionParsnip> batte: use the memtest in the grub menu
[23:13] <stefg> batte: sounds like hardware trouble... check that your cpu fan still works
[23:13] <Omoikane__> nikkiclau don't want to copy the entire home folder over. Which files in /home?
[23:13] <jrib> desmond_: track pads can't read, you should be more specific as to what you are doing
[23:14] <nikkiclau> hoymkot: do you have many monitors connected?
[23:14] <mercutio22> my audio volume media keys change the volume in steps that are too large, is that fixable?
[23:14] <batte> ill monitor temp, you can be right
[23:14] <neskat> batte: boot into the bios and watch your CPU temperature
[23:14] <KernelX> people, On the powerpc kernel is able to run i386 binaries?
[23:14] <hmw> progre55: i think, CS is portable. if so, cd /path/to/windows/CS and call the .exe with wine <exename>
[23:14] <amnesiauk> hmw, when I try to install ubuntu 9.04, I get sofreset failed (device not ready)
[23:14] <hanzou1977> hi
[23:14] <amnesiauk> hmw, and then I can type after (initramfs) _
[23:14] <batte> neskat ok
[23:14] <nikkiclau> Omoikane__: it usually always depends on the programs ... if you use pure ssh, then ~/.ssh/ works for you ..
[23:14] <ActionParsnip> progre55: what hmw said, if it doesnt run you will need to install it, the guys in #wine may be able to advise
[23:14] <quickdraw1> how can you list what is running? aka, tasks etc. i can't seem to remember for the life of me.
[23:14] <h00k> I've had an e2fsck running for over 24 hours on a 500gb external sata/usb drive, is this bad?
[23:14] <amnesiauk> nikkiclau, check what I told hmw:p
[23:14] <ActionParsnip> quickdraw1: top
[23:14] <neskat> KernelX: pretty sure it isn't
[23:14] <desmond_> jrib: i can change the optsions in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-x11-synaptics.fdi
[23:14] <stefg> KernelX: no... no universal binaries on Linux :-\
[23:15] <neskat> KernelX: I'd ask for a seconf opinion though
[23:15] <Omoikane__> nikkiclau that will save my logins and passwords?
[23:15] <hoymkot> nikkiclau, I have only one monitor, it is a dell dimension e310.
[23:15] <desmond_> jrib: but it doesnt change. and when i run /usr/src/bcm5974-1.1.1/scripts/bcm5974-diagnostics it spits out
[23:15] <ActionParsnip> quickdraw1: also, ps -ef
[23:15] <nikkiclau> Omoikane__: what do you use when you ssh into somehting? putty?
[23:15] <jrib> desmond_: you need to at least restart hal and logout and back in
[23:15] <desmond_> * Kernel version: 2.6.27-14-generic
[23:15] <desmond_> * Synaptics version: 0.15.2-0ubuntu7-mactel1

[23:15] <hoymkot> nikkiclau, i have duel os only my computer, i the windows works fine.
[23:16] <quickdraw1> thanks ActionParsnip
[23:16] <rafael> hi all
[23:16] <quickdraw1> now to get xchat working properly and redo firefox. :|
[23:16] <G-Robert> ActionParsip:  I donwloaded md5 check and checked the iso and it gives me numbers.... what should i do with them?
[23:16] <calvin_> Hello all, I was wondering if there is any way to get totem to play dvds. I can usually get it to work with mplayer and/or vlc but totem searches for something it needs it says it cant find it and it wont play dvd's in totem. is there a way to get this working?
[23:16] <Omoikane__> nikkiclau pure SSH no third parties like putty
[23:16] <hoymkot> nikkiclau, btw i can't do ssh in the the console mode ..
[23:16] <nikkiclau> amnesiauk: this is weird
[23:16] <G-Robert> im pretty sure the iso isn't the problem because I downloaded it off the website
[23:16] <h00k> I've had an e2fsck running for over 24 hours on a 500gb external sata/usb drive, is this bad?
[23:16] <neskat> calvin_: do you have a dvd decoder installed?
[23:16] <progre55> ActionParsnip, thanks man :) let me download the CS setup first )
[23:16] <amnesiauk> usb stick fucked?
[23:16] <rafael> so..i upgraded to 9.04...and there is no way i can make firefox play flash sites...doesn't even tell me that i need the player
[23:16] <hoymkot> nikkiclau, i mean i can do ssh in the console mode
[23:16] <h00k> !language | amnesiauk
[23:17] <nikkiclau> hoymkot: if you cna get your computer into runlevel 3 then ssh should be open if you have openssh-server
[23:17] <ActionParsnip> G-Robert: you calculate the md5sum of the iso you downloaded and make sure they match. Why did you  not check it before you burned and DEFINATELY BEFORE YOU INSTALLED
[23:17] <calvin_> neshaug: I installed libdvdscss or whatever from medibuntu rpos
[23:17] <G-Robert> sorry noob i have no idea what that means
[23:17] <rafael> can anyone help w firefox and flash?
[23:17] <desmond> how do i restart hal?
[23:17] <redline5653> can somone offer me some advice to improve my laptops performance plase?
[23:17] <nikkiclau> Omoikane__: copy the ~./ssh/ (and maybe ~/.ssh2/ if it exists)..
[23:18] <ActionParsnip> G-Robert: you have downloaded a huge file over the internet
[23:18] <h00k> desmond: sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart
[23:18] <G-Robert> how to make sure what matches with what?
[23:18] <hoymkot> nikkiclau, is there any way for me to fix it?
[23:18] <heguru> !flash | rafael
[23:18] <G-Robert> right
[23:18] <ciel> hi every one
[23:18] <stefg> redline5653: buy more ram, and a faster hd :-)
[23:18] <nikkiclau> amnesiauk: try burning a cd ..
[23:18] <ActionParsnip> G-Robert: as the data moves it can get mangled but still pass tcp checks as an OKK packet and added to the file
[23:18] <KernelX> Is possibel run firefox32 in powerpc or Adobe flash player plugin in firefox porwerpc ?
[23:18] <G-Robert> and how to i check the checksum matches?
[23:18] <hmw> ActionParsnip: what I never understood: I usually download/dont check/burn/install successfully, never had problems with isos. Guess I was lucky. But my question is: how can a http-download get corrupted, when we have failure correction in TCP?
[23:18] <amnesiauk> nikkiclau, haven't got an empty disc:/
[23:18] <Shortguy109> is it possible to get skype for ubuntu 9.04?
[23:18] <nikkiclau> hoymkot: yes, there's always a way ;-)
[23:18] <ActionParsnip> G-Robert: if your file gets garbaged then it WILL cause a whole load of problems
[23:18] <G-Robert> ok
[23:18] <G-Robert> so how do i do it?
[23:18] <rafael> ok thanks!
[23:18] <ActionParsnip> G-Robert: md5sum <iso file name>
[23:19] <rafael> im on it...will feed back
[23:19] <redline5653> stefg thats going to be hard laptop is old
[23:19] <G-Robert> yeah it gives me numbers?
[23:19] <Kyokamui> transfers from my ubuntu box are running slower than 800K/s via samba and ssh, however, both machines in the transfer are on the same lan conncted at 100 Full
[23:19] <Kyokamui> what should I be looking for as the culprit?
[23:19] <stefg> redline5653: so what are the specs?
[23:19] <heguru> G-Robert: match them with http://releases.ubuntu.com/jaunty/MD5SUMS
[23:19] <rafael> oh but there is no support for ubuntu 9.04
[23:19] <G-Robert> 589F13DA46E34789CB13B7DC574CCC6C is what it gives me.  what should i compare it to?
[23:19] <ActionParsnip> G-Robert: md5 sums give a signature of how the file SHOULD look, if the code in the sum, does not match your calculated sum, the file is bad and should be deleted and re-downloaded
[23:19] <rafael> on that link
[23:19] <nikkiclau> amnesiauk: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading  ... you don't have to boot into install if you don't want to ..
[23:19] <hoymkot> nikkiclau, how??
[23:19] <Shortguy109> is it possible to get skype for ubuntu 9.04?
[23:19] <ActionParsnip> G-Robert: open the md5sum file for the iso you downloaded and compare
[23:19] <helper>  helo brothers need issue with this i want if i press alt +ccontol+f1 and then press alt+control +f7 require password to display GUI mode how ?

[23:20] <ienorand> Shortguy109: 64bit?
[23:20] <stefg> redline5653: faster hd shouldn't be a problem.... but you really need more ram. first of all forget gnome, try xubuntu instead
[23:20] <ActionParsnip> G-Robert: are you using the: ubuntu-8.04.2-desktop-i386.iso ?
[23:20] <rafael> !flash
[23:20] <nikkiclau> amnesiauk: you don't need it. just go into gui mode and plug in your usb stick ..
[23:21] <Shortguy109> hmw: whenever i opened it with package installer it said "Error: Wrong architecture i386"
[23:21] <Shortguy109> hmw: yes i am :O

[23:21] <Paddy_EIRE> !skype | Shortguy109
[23:21] <hmw> Shortguy109: you are? good for you. YOu probably have a 64bit machine?
[23:21] <redline5653> how would i use/get xbuntu?
[23:21] <nikkiclau> amnesiauk: you can get the alternative CDROM ISO on the stick, then mount it as it says on the website.
[23:21] <G-Robert> that's 8.10 .
[23:21] <Shortguy109> hmw: not a clue, my brother knows that stuff xD
[23:21] <G-Robert> 8.04?
[23:21] <h00k> I've had an e2fsck running for over 24 hours on a 500gb external sata/usb drive, is this bad?

[23:21] <KernelX> neskat, Is possibel run firefox32 in powerpc or Adobe flash player plugin in firefox porwerpc ?
[23:21] <ienorand> Shortguy109: Thats you on 64bit then, the link just given has a link to the 64bit deb package

[23:21] <amnesiauk> nikkiclau,  sorry
[23:21] <calvin_> Hello all, I was wondering if there is any way to get totem to play dvds. I can usually get it to work with mplayer and/or vlc but totem searches for something it needs it says it cant find it and it wont play dvd's in totem. is there a way to get this working?
[23:22] <nikkiclau> hoymkot: are you in console?
[23:22] <Paddy_EIRE> !dvd | calvin_
[23:22] <nikkiclau> amnesiauk: uhmm .. download the ISO file for alternative
[23:22] <hoymkot> yes
[23:22] <Shortguy109> thanksss
[23:22] <heguru> G-Robert: sorry... http://releases.ubuntu.com/hardy/MD5SUMS
[23:22] <sponzor> anyone haves problem with firefox? its working slowly and if you have more tabs opened it crashes some time :P
[23:22] <hoymkot> nikkiclau, yes
[23:22] <nikkiclau> amnesiauk: then get put it on the usb drive
[23:22] <amnesiauk> nikkiclau, ok sorry
[23:22] <calvin_> Paddy_EIRE, Oh, thanks
[23:22] <hmw> Shortguy109: if it complains about wrong "architecture" it means, the processor is not binary-compatible to the program you tried to run. If you have a 64bit processor, you might not be able to install skype, unless they provide a 64bit version of that installer
[23:22] <nikkiclau> amnesiauk: no worries
[23:22] <Paddy_EIRE> calvin_: sure any troubles give me a shout
[23:22] <mib_szoon7> anyone know if I can change the audio volume from xterm?
[23:22] <ActionParsnip> G-Robert: shows more md5sums, the fact that you have an ok image doesnt get you autt the woods, you still need to check the burned disk on the first boot screen of the cd to make sure the burned cd is ok (burned cds can ALOS go wonk)
[23:23] <nikkiclau> hoymkot: can you do a apt-get -f install for me?
[23:23] <ciel> I would like to now what you all think about a cpu please
[23:23] <dtchen> mib_szoon7: alsamixer
[23:23] <nikkiclau> hoymkot: anything suspicious there?
[23:23] <Paddy_EIRE> mib_szoon7: execute 'alsamixer'
[23:23] <G-Robert> ok thanks
[23:23] <G-Robert> but the checksums do indeed match
[23:23] <mib_szoon7> any specific commands to put around it?
[23:23] <mib_szoon7> sudo
[23:23] <Paddy_EIRE> nope
[23:23] <mib_szoon7> apt get install
[23:23] <G-Robert> i never knew about this checksum stuff im going to wiki it
[23:23] <mib_szoon7> ok
[23:24] <rafael> heguru?
[23:24] <mib_szoon7> so just type alsamixer
[23:24] <G-Robert> but anyway.  any other idea what might be wrong
[23:24] <G-Robert> ?
[23:24] <Paddy_EIRE> mib_szoon7: yes
[23:24] <Travis-42> I just installed "git-svn" via "apt-get install git-svn" and it says it's installed.  But it says "git-svn: command not found" even though it is installed in /usr/lib/git-core/git-svn -- how do I make it so I can just type git-svn ?
[23:24] <heguru> rafael: ask your question please
[23:24] <dylan_> how do I install kde 3.5 on ubuntu 8.10
[23:24] <calvin_> Paddy_EIRE, Yea I always forget to install this restricted-extras package but when totem goes to search, it should install it via gui imho. Ubuntu always has the crappiest defaults
[23:24] <amnesiauk> nikkiclau, what about [   ] ubuntu-9.04-netbook-remix-i386.img         21-Apr-2009 03:31  947M  UNR USB image for PC (Intel x86) computers (USB image)
[23:24] <mib_szoon7> oh nice it worked. thanks
[23:24] <ActionParsnip> G-Robert: its good to know. You need to check the burned disk, if that is ok, try some boot options
[23:24] <Paddy_EIRE> calvin_: the restricted extras package does not cover dvd playback
[23:24] <rafael> oh...i was saying that the link provided only works for ubuntu 8.10 and under
[23:24] <ActionParsnip> !bootoption | G-Robert

[23:25] <rafael> but i have 9.04
[23:25] <calvin_> Paddy_EIRE, Then what does it cover?
[23:25] <stefg> Travis-42: symlink that to /usr/bin ... it's not in your path
[23:25] <Paddy_EIRE> calvin_: many other packages just not dvd
[23:25] <TX-Dan> afternoon everyone...
[23:25] <Travis-42> lstarnes: heh ah.  All the tutorials I've seen use "git-svn" to load it, thanks.
[23:25] <dylan_> HOW DO I FIND OUT THE VERSION OF UBUNTU THAT  I HAVE, AND HOW DO I INSTALL KDE 3.5.X ON IT ?
[23:25] <nikkiclau> amnesiauk: sorry, not that one .. needs to be alternative ...
[23:25] <amnesiauk> okay:) 9%
[23:25] <Paddy_EIRE> !caps | dylan_
[23:25] <G-Robert> ok that sounds great ill do that.  i admit i didn't look at those

[23:26] <h00k> I've had an e2fsck running for over 24 hours on a 500gb external sata/usb drive, is this bad?
[23:26] <rafael> so i guess trhe question is how do i make flash work on ubnuntu 9.04
[23:26] <hoymkot> nikkiclau, i try to send you private message, did you receive that?
[23:26] <rafael> ?
[23:26] <lstarnes> dylan_: there may be a kde3-desktop package
[23:26] <hmw> h00k: that sounds bad. Did it say something like "i repair this and that" a million times?
[23:26] <h00k> !flash | rafael
[23:26] <nikkiclau> hoymkot: yes, those messages are fine .. you can remove those packages
[23:26] <amnesiauk> nikkiclau, jup I get it:)
[23:26] <nikkiclau> amnesiauk: great :)
[23:26] <h00k> hmw: I'm running it from gparted
[23:27] <hmw> h00k: hmm. I would wipe the drive and do a fresh format, then a surface scan.
[23:27] <amnesiauk> 15 min estimated
[23:27] <TX-Dan> So, I am already running uShare to use my linux machine as a media server for my Xbox360... anyone else doing anything nifty around the house using linux as a server?
[23:27] <hmw> h00k 24hrs is too long
[23:27] <rafael> hook...that link only goes up to 8.1..but since you guys insist im going to check again
[23:27] <lundh> I'm trying to install using unetbootin but I get Boot failure" any idea why?
[23:27] <nikkiclau> amnesiauk: btw, in the late 1990's (when I started using linux), it took me over a month to get my first linux installation working with internet ..
[23:27] <Crash1hd> Can anyone tell me if I should have my sata drives set to sata raid function?
[23:27] <amnesiauk> lol
[23:28] <h00k> hmw: It has all of my backups on it - ones that I need to restore, I'm getting a "stale NFS file handle (116)" error when I try to copy data
[23:28] <ActionParsnip> TX-Dan: amarok + ktorrent + samba + backup server
[23:28] <nikkiclau> amnesiauk: so no worries if yours doesn't come up straight away ;-)
[23:28] <amnesiauk> nikkiclau, It worked fine on my old laptop though the screens f-ed:(
[23:28] <amnesiauk> I finally got the linux vibe:p
[23:28] <h00k> rafael: please use my nick 'h00k' as it highlights my nickname, you can also complete it using 'tab' if you type 'h0'
[23:28] <nikkiclau> amnesiauk: well, it's fun if you like studying new things
[23:28] <ActionParsnip> TX-Dan: all accessible via web interface or file browsing
[23:28] <dylan_> lstarnes, thanks for your reply
[23:28] <rafael> h00k ok
[23:28] <h00k> rafael: also, it should work on 9.04 just the same
[23:29] <amnesiauk> nikkiclau, I know and since I know windows like 100000% it's nice to have something new
[23:29] <hmw> h00k: thats beyon my knowledge... you could try EasyRecovery, the demo is fully funcional for some days and *might* be able to read from your linux partition, too.
[23:29] <stefg> Crash1hd: usually this only delays booting. if you want to raid your disks you can do that with the linux native mdadm tool
[23:29] <rafael> h0k basically says to apt-get install adobe-flashplugin...i had done that ..no luck
[23:29] <calvin_> Paddy_EIRE, Well whatever I installed it's working now. Thanks for the help
[23:29] <hmw> h00k: google that error message
[23:29] <h00k> hmw: alright, I'll give that a shot.  thanks.  Also, I did google it, it said to fsck on it.
[23:29] <tonsofpcs> i got home from work, my notebook [having been running all day] is not responding on the VT for X, ctrl+alt+f1 took about 10 minutes to switch over and is being very slow to respond.  I see a message of [timestamp]  eth1 (WE) : Wireless Event too big (342).  any ideas whats going on here or what thiss message explicitly means?
[23:30] <TX-Dan> ActionParsnip, isn't amarok the mp3 software?
[23:30] <rafael> h00k basically says to apt-get install adobe plugin..which i had done already..no luck
[23:30] <Crash1hd> stefg: if I am only using them as ide drives then turn that off?
[23:30] <h00k> rafael: did you restart firefox?
[23:30] <rafael> i did..
[23:30] <rafael> in fact uninstalled
[23:30] <ActionParsnip> TX-Dan: yes but it has an xul remote control that can control what the system plays out of its own soundcard via xul enabled browser or android phone :)
[23:30] <nymphonix> how can i do a complete uninstall of firefox, so that i can start from scratch with it?
[23:31] <rafael> h00k i did..in fact uninstalled
[23:31] <h00k> rafael: which browser are you using?
[23:31] <WDC> Hello. I am getting "Bus Error" when I try and start amarok. Any ideas as to how to fix it?

[23:31] <rafael> h00k firefox 3
[23:31] <andthenIwaslike> any fluxbox users? I'd like to disable/hide the slit and toolbar, how do I do that?
[23:31] <h00k> rafael: in fact uninstalled what?
[23:31] <hoymkot> nikkiclau, should i restart my computer or reinstall those package after removal?
[23:31] <nikkiclau> hoymkot: uhmm .. can you do a sudo grep ERR /var/log/Xorg.0.log for me?
[23:32] <ActionParsnip> andthenIwaslike: i use it but never done that, ask in #fluxbox is my recommendation
[23:32] <timc> my ex gf is using slackware. does ubuntu make me a sissy?
[23:32] <TX-Dan> ActionParsnip, I've got the "Remote" app that controls my itunes library on my mac through my iPod... so i'm set in that arena... i'll go see if it has any other handy features ;)
[23:32] <nikkiclau> hoymkot: just pastebin the results if they are more than one line
[23:32] <rafael> h00k..i restarted firefox...then when it didnt work..uninstalled it..then reinstalled it..no good
[23:32] <h00k> hmw: this is my dmesg, notice the problems at the bottom: http://pastebin.com/d10511920
[23:32] <andthenIwaslike> ActionParsnip: no one is answering
[23:32] <WDC> Hello. I am getting "Bus Error" when I try and start amarok. Any ideas as to how to fix it? I also get it with VLC
[23:32] <stefg> Crash1hd: yup.... usually enabling chipset raid functions tries to load additional firmware at boot-time.... since the CPU is doing the work anyway you can as well use mdadm. This fake raid crap is aimed towards stupid OS's (e.g. windows)
[23:32] <salvo> ciaooo sono nuovo
[23:32] <h00k> rafael: type about:plugins in your address bar and see what's listed under Flash
[23:32] <andthenIwaslike> google search yielded nothing also

[23:33] <ActionParsnip> TX-Dan: ktorrent also has a web interface but the itunes remote controlled by iphone is synonymous except it doesnt need itunes or an iphone, you can use open source :)
[23:33] <andthenIwaslike> I know how to build fluxbox from source without toolbar and slit
[23:33] <Crash1hd> stefg: ok cool always wondered that
[23:33] <andthenIwaslike> but it's too much bother for something so little

[23:33] <Filthpig> Hi all. I'm having trouble with some serious performance regressions in 9.04 with my trusty old ATI Radeon 9200 Mobility gfx card. In 8.10 it worked smoothly with compiz enabled, but in 9.04 everything is very slow and painful. Also KDE4 with compositing turned off is slow and buggy. Any ideas what causes this, and tips to fix it?

[23:35] <hmw> ernesto: "needhelp"?
[23:35] <andthenIwaslike> the thing is, toolbar and slit are built-in not separate
[23:35] <ernesto> yes
[23:35] <ActionParsnip> dylan_ you can set it in xorg.conf
[23:35] <h00k> rafael: does it show 'libflashplayer.so' ?
[23:35] <stefg> Crash1hd: it's late here and i'm on the edge on falling into bed... and i won't consider mdadm offtopic
[23:35] <rafael> no it doesnt
[23:35] <TX-Dan> ActionParsnip, hahah, sounds like it... I'm in media production... so Apple and I are pretty tight. Hah...
[23:35] <nikkiclau> hoymkot: any luck?
[23:35] <rafael> h00k wait
[23:35] <rafael> h00k yes it does
[23:36] <ActionParsnip> TX-Dan: i just think their stuff is hype, esp ipod

[23:37] <ActionParsnip> TX-Dan: i use samba to share folders for central strage of everything and easy nightly firewire backuo
[23:37] <TX-Dan> ActionParsnip, You have to give them credit. They do make a decent product (evem if you don't like them), their strong point is that they are disturbingly good at marketing.
[23:37] <ciel> ok I'll do that way, sorry
[23:37] <hmw> _Tristan sudo mv <from> <to>
[23:37] <ActionParsnip> TX-Dan: yeah its well marketted but so is windows ;)
[23:37] <_Tristan> thanks

[23:38] <Crash1hd> stefg: ok I wasnt actually going to ask you about mdadm but if Serial ATA function should be set to raid or base in cmos?
[23:38] <ciel> thank you :)
[23:38] <h00k> hmw: I'ma give ddrescue a shot and see what I can do with that
[23:38] <ActionParsnip> h00k: use dd_rescue to create an image, then mount it and use foremost to extract from the image
[23:39] <hmw> h00k: keep me posted on the results. Good luck!
[23:39] <stefg> Crash1hd: base seems right.... setting it to raid will prolly give you a 20 second boot delay
[23:39] <``mEnEkS> Sup guys
[23:39] <_Tristan> how do I make it so mounted stuff doesnt show up on my desktop?
[23:39] <Crash1hd> stefg: so it doesnt make a difference in use just in boot up times?
[23:39] <odinsbane> I have an external monitor that has a high resolution, I can only go up to 1300x where as the monitor is 1600x any suggestions?

[23:39] <Crash1hd> stefg: if im not using raid
[23:39] <h00k> ActionParsnip, hmw:  Will do, thanks for the advice.  Linux doesn't need this, since it can well handle 2 or more disks as a md device on the OS level
[23:43] <rkit> how do I set up a wired home network connecting linux and windows while sharing internet from the linux pc i'm using jaunty
[23:43] <Paddy_EIRE> !ics | rkit
[23:43] <rafael> h00k ..:-(...same result..i get a blank screen where the flash should be...
[23:43] <hmw> rkit: installing Firestarter makes that very easy
[23:44] <histo> !samba | rkit
[23:44] <rafael> h00k not even a message saying i need a plugin
[23:44] <hmw> rkit: ah... better check out the links above first
[23:44] <histo> rkit: use samba for all your file sharing / printer needs from linux to windows.
[23:44] <rafael> h00k should i reboot? i know this isnt windows..but..just in case
[23:44] <h00k> rafael: nah, no need.
[23:44] <ActionParsnip> the only time youu need to reboot is to boot a new kernel
[23:45] <rkit> thanks will check out the links
[23:45] <boshhead> Hi. I seem to have lost my update manager icon in the top right of the screen. How can I get it back?
[23:45] <mib_104um42x> I have an ubuntu CD that is working good, if I decide to install it, can i still get to my windows operating system?
[23:45] <rafael> h00k..ok...hm...what now?
[23:45] <ActionParsnip> boshhead: sudo apt-get --reinstall install update-manager
[23:45] <nikkiclau> ActionParsnip: yes, but you're often faster to reboot the machine during some problems than fixing the problem...
[23:45] <histo> mib_104um42x: if you install using wubi inside of windows or if you dual boot you can still get to windows
[23:45] <histo> !dualboot | mib_104um42x
[23:45] <histo> !wubi > mib_104um42x
[23:46] <ActionParsnip> nikkiclau: true, but more uptime is good :)
[23:46] <h00k> rafael: check out synaptic for swfdec and remove that if its there
[23:46] <nikkiclau> ActionParsnip: that's what servers are for .. i've got some servers with a couple of years uptime ..
[23:46] <ActionParsnip> nikkiclau: snap
[23:46] <rafael> h00k ok
[23:46] <nikkiclau> ActionParsnip: haven't gotten around to updating them ;-)
[23:46] <histo> boshhead: it only appears when it sees that updates are needed I thought.
[23:46] <stefg> nikkiclau: still running a 2.4.7 kernel ? :-)
[23:47] <histo> boshhead: but you can run sudo apt-get update in a terminal and it will check for updates
[23:47] <mib_104um42x> so if i use Wubi, i can just start up in windows and then boot into ubuntu?
[23:47] <boshhead> histo: maybe? I've never noticed it missing before :) But maybe I'm a slacker when it comes to updating...
[23:47] <rafael> h00k...nope...not installed
[23:47] <ActionParsnip> nikkiclau: i'm not updating mine, its gentoo and it works, it doesnt know about the internet any more and its fine :) backing up nicely
[23:47] <nikkiclau> stefg: hah .. not everywhere
[23:47] <histo> !wubi | mib_104um42x
[23:48] <Severian> mib_104um42x, Yes
[23:48] <h00k> rafael: check out "Add Remove" for flash and remove anything that isn't Adobe Flash
[23:48] <nikkiclau> ActionParsnip: the rule of thumb is, if it's not broken, don't fix it
[23:48] <rafael> h00k ok
[23:48] <nikkiclau> ActionParsnip: another rule is of course, if it can go wrong, it will go wrong
[23:48] <nikkiclau> ActionParsnip: i've seen much more of the second rule coming into play whenever the first rule is broken
[23:49] <nikkiclau> s/much more of//
[23:49] <ActionParsnip> nikkiclau: true, i dont get all these people upgrading perfectly fine systems to jaunty then getting issues, its really baffling
[23:49] <histo> mib_104um42x: you have the option when yous tart the machine to load ubuntu or windows
[23:50] <rafael> h00k  nothing there
[23:50] <histo> mib_104um42x: with wubi you don't have to mess with partitioning etc... Then you can remove it later if you don't want it anymore.
[23:50] <nikkiclau> ActionParsnip: if it's a desktop which needs some new features, i get it. If it's a server which doesn't need it, then i don't get it..
[23:50] <h00k> rafael: check about:plugins and make sure the only plugin is the "File name: libflashplayer.so"
[23:51] <ActionParsnip> nikkiclau: i upgrade so i can help in here
[23:51] <ActionParsnip> nikkiclau: if my desktop breaks i dont care
[23:52] <nikkiclau> ActionParsnip: as long as that desktop is not in full production when it breaks then it doesn't really matter ...
[23:52] <ActionParsnip> exactly
[23:53] <h00k> hmw: wait, this is going to make a 500gb iso img, isn't it.
[23:53] <Gourlis> Successful Upgrade to 9.04!
[23:53] <Gourlis> :D
[23:53] <hmw> h00k: uhm. yes.
[23:54] <rhamph> Can someone help me unbrick this box after a 8.10->9.04 upgrade?    I don't have the space on my laptop for that.
[23:54] <rafael> h00k ok...just to make sure...there are einly two entries under the title shockwaveflash  on the heading only  npwrapper.libflashplayer.so appears then under it ..the description says shockwave flash andfuturesplash
[23:54] <stefg> h00k: iso9660 doesn't even support files >4G .... you'll end up with half a terra of junk
[23:54] <romulo> hi there, im still using intrepid and im planning to upgrade to jaunty. Does it replace my boot?
[23:55] <M0E-lnx> somebody help!... my ff wont play flash video
[23:55] <stefg> romulo: backup first (murphy's law, 2nd revised edition)
[23:55] <rafael> M0E-lnx, oh boy...follow my thread withh h00k
[23:55] <romulo> stefg, already did, just wondering
[23:55] <amnesiauk> nikkiclau,
[23:55] <amnesiauk> I'm having problems running it:/
[23:56] <nikkiclau> amnesiauk: oh? what happends?
[23:56] <h00k> rafael: are you 32 or 64 bit
[23:56] <amnesiauk> it tells me the upgrade application archive could not be found
[23:56] <rafael> 32bit...im running on an eeepc 1000h
[23:56] <amnesiauk> (with other word I need to get the dialog to show up)
[23:56] <thomatwork> Got some questions about running a daemon prior to user log in - don't know how to do this in Linux
[23:56] <rafael> h00k 32 bit..im runningg on a eeepc 1000h
[23:56] <nikkiclau> amnesiauk: can you paste the error message?
[23:56] <thomatwork> can anyone point me to help docs on this?
[23:57] <amnesiauk> sure
[23:57] <nikkiclau> amnesiauk: (pastebin if it's big)
[23:57] <stefg> romulo: i'd rather do a fresh install on a spare partition... upgrades tend to break on ubuntu. and in case you find an issue in 2 weeks, you can always boot back to the old system
[23:57] <amnesiauk> nikkiclau, Could not find the upgrade application archive, exiting
[23:57] <amnesiauk> that's it
[23:57] <M0E-lnx> rafael, I dont have a libflashplayer lib
[23:57] <romulo> stefg, guess im going to do that u_u
[23:58] <hoymkot> is it possible for me to re-date or reinstall the 9/04
[23:58] <romulo> hate to reinstall 10gb of development packages
[23:58] <k1rbsah>  i type sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree  it says i already have the latest version.. i open a page that uses flash.. and it says i dont have adobe flash player 9 or higher... it is any page .. help?
[23:58] <thomatwork> stefg - I've done three upgrades and nothing broke - but I didn't customize anything either
[23:58] <h00k> M0E-lnx: try this, first:
[23:58] <rafael> M0E-lnx, wait...the pro here is h00k...lets see how i get out of my mess
[23:58] <h00k> !flash | M0E-lnx
[23:58] <amnesiauk> nikkiclau, nvm a stupid mistake, but a screen flashes on and off
[23:58] <amnesiauk> nikkiclau, so nothing is being loaded yet:S
[23:58] <stefg> thomatwork: no rule without exception :-)
[23:58] <nikkiclau> amnesiauk: uhmm .. and you mounted the iso of course ..
[23:58] <amnesiauk> yup
[23:58] <heguru> thomatwork: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBootupHowto
[23:59] <hoymkot> its seem that i put nikkiclau on the ignore list, can i undo it?
[23:59] <amnesiauk> gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade"
[23:59] <amnesiauk> and I enter my pw, and then nothing happends
[23:59] <h00k> rafael: standby
[23:59] <ActionParsnip> amnesiauk: is the iso mounted to /cdrom ?
[23:59] <thomatwork> heguru - thx - if I noob up my desktop - I'll be back ;)
[23:59] <rafael> h00k...ok
[23:59] <rafael> h00k thanks
