[20:27] <usuario_> jajajaja
[20:27] <bullgard> Losha: '~$ locate GSmartControl' does not produce any output. How can I call iGSmartControl?
[20:27] <haYnguy> guntbert: hey! hey! i didn't start it! ;P
[20:27] <usuario_> ola kien ai ai
[20:27] <guntbert> !es | usuario_
[20:27] <flansuse> bullgard: If smartctl -a will not output anything, neither will GSmartControl, since it's only a GUI for smartmontools
[20:27] <usuario_> olaaaaaaaaaaa
[20:27] <flansuse> bullgard: The problem might be because it's a USB drive.
[20:27] <flansuse> I have to run! Later all!
[20:28] <BluesKaj> mrwizeguy1983, alsa is the default kernel source driver for most soundcards and pulseaudio is another layer /soundserver that runs on top of alsa. Sometimes with simple onboards and stereo soundcards pulseaudio intereferes and causes problems
[20:28] <usuario_> kien ai aiiiiiiiiiii
[20:28] <Slart> usuario_: english only, in this channel
[20:28] <mrwizeguy1983> BluesKaj, it's definitely not what i'd call simple.....it has optical digital output on the same jack as the headphones
[20:28] <Slart> usuario_: type   /join #ubuntu-es     to get to the spanish channel
[20:28] <usuario_> a yes yes i dad in espanish
[20:29] <bullgard> Losha: '~$ locate GSmartControl' does not produce any output. How can I call GSmartControl?
[20:29] <bautista> ola
[20:30] <Losha> bullgard: what flansuse said. See http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/smartmontools/wiki/USB. Debian/ubuntu is not listed as smartctl/usb capable...

[20:30] <Miri_guapa_> hola  bautista
[20:30] <ukebane> Is anyone here familiar with wireless problems in ubuntu 9.10?
[20:30] <BluesKaj> mrwizeguy1983, then perhaps you'll benefit from pulseaudio's options
[20:31] <mrwizeguy1983> BluesKaj, do you have any idea why upgrading the driver and installing backports makes the mic not work anymore?
[20:32] <augustl> so I got a KVM vm running and in the virsh console I can see that it runs. Now what? :)
[20:32] <mirek> mirek
[20:32] <augustl> like, how do I access it? Console etc.
[20:33] <abe3k> I managed to compile jack on a virtual machine and it looked fine, time to compile it on my machine :>
[20:33] <augustl> I tried "console myvm", but it says that the vm doesn't have one
[20:37] <augustl> anyone on kvm?
[20:37] <Seq> augustl: I use kvm a bit
[20:37] <ariza> how to use ubuntu in sbc board?
[20:38] <augustl> Seq: how do you interact with the running VMs?
[20:38] <bullgard> Losha: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/smartmontools/wiki/USB does not mention Debian at all. How do you you dervie your conclusion?
[20:38] <augustl> I just want to access it's tty1/console
[20:38] <bullgard> Losha: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/smartmontools/wiki/USB does not mention Debian at all. How do  you derive your conclusion?
[20:38] <Seq> Managing or console? I mainly use libvirt to manage them
[20:39] <MaT-dg> Is empathy's support for audio/video calls removed?
[20:39] <augustl> Seq: console, I guess
[20:39] <augustl> Seq: to install software on the VM etc.
[20:39] <Seq> I access them through ssh, but I believe there is both vnc and some sort of accelerated output as well
[20:39] <DopeGhoti> augustl: do you have an SSH server set up on the VM?
[20:39] <augustl> so, using the VM, I guess.
[20:39] <bullgard> MaT-dg: No.
[20:39] <slipdop> when trying to "pand -c <BD_ADDR>" to another laptop running "pand --listen --role GN --master" i get "Connect to <BD_ADDR> failed. Success(0)".. does anyone know why
[20:39] <augustl> DopeGhoti: I have just created it, so I need to access it so that I can set up an SSH server :)
[20:39] <moreia> Heeellllpppp! I was screwing around with my displays and now I've got a handful of applications running hidden away. Gvim and Thunderbird. PS shows them running. How do I make them show up?
[20:40] <slipdop>  /j #bluez
[20:40] <augustl> DopeGhoti: I don't even know what IP address it has on the network.
[20:41] <DopeGhoti> augustl: augustl Look into the virt-manager package
[20:41] <DopeGhoti> it's great for accessing and managing VMs
[20:41] <augustl> will do
[20:41]  * DopeGhoti incidentally _really_ needs to stop using '\n' as punctuation.
[20:41] <augustl> DopeGhoti: oh, I don't have X on this box.
[20:41] <augustl> it's ubuntu server
[20:41] <bluebaron> Anyone know if the bug that causes a blank screen a boot up when installing the ATI drivers has been fixed?
[20:42] <DopeGhoti> augustl: ah.  hmm, one second, I saw a link a while ago that might be what you need
[20:42] <augustl> DopeGhoti: great :)
[20:42] <bullgard> bluebaron: Look up Launchpad for it.
[20:43] <augustl> odd. "ttyconsole ubuntu" in virsh prints a blank line, and then goes back to the virsh console.
[20:43] <augustl> silly
[20:44] <sixofour> how can i rename the trash bin?
[20:44] <paradoxuncreated> Anyone can help me with drigl, where do I find these libs
[20:44] <Seq> augustl: I use libvirt on my server, and occasionally virt-manager on my laptop
[20:44] <Seq> augustl: it can work over ssh, not just on local host
[20:45] <augustl> Seq: got some links?
[20:45] <moreia> Anyone? I can't figure out where all my open programs disappeared to.
[20:45] <augustl> I haven't found any a to z kvm usage guides, I wish that existed :)
[20:46] <Seq> No, I just installed libvirt-bin on my server, and virt-manager on my laptop. Add connection, Remote over SSH, type in the host.
[20:46] <DopeGhoti> augustl: got it.
[20:47] <DopeGhoti> augustl: use kmv -curses «vm.img»
[20:47] <DopeGhoti> augustl: er, s/kmv/kvm/
[20:47] <Seq> augustl: There is a bug in Ubuntu's virt-manager package, at least there used to be, where it would insert "root@" infront of the hostname. I had to use gconf to edit the entry manually.
[20:47] <augustl> DopeGhoti: yay
[20:47] <MisterKeal> Someone please generate the local time down to the second with UTC offset into the channel for me.
[20:47] <augustl> DopeGhoti: that seems to start up the VM, hmm.
[20:48] <augustl> wow, now it asks for root login and password. Wonder what that is..
[20:48] <DukeNukem> Hello. Is it possible to restore the keyboard shortcuts back to the original settings?
[20:49] <charnel> what is wrong with this why cannot I install it ? http://pastebin.com/dyQLRkzg
[20:49] <baconbits> sixofour, I know how to change it's name on the desktop.  I manage about 50 ubuntu PCs. on 9.10 /8.10 .. and ocassionally users report firefox just closes without any warning and one has to start it again. Is this a ram leak, or a known issue?? they have all 2GB RAM.
[20:49] <trism> @now > MisterKeal
[20:49] <MisterKeal> @now
[20:49] <augustl> what's the default root password when you  build with ubuntu-vm-builder?
[20:50] <guntbert> augustl: no idea - but why would there be a root password anyway?
[20:50] <Slart> augustl: normal ubuntu distros don't have a root password.. are you sure the ubuntu-vm-builder creates one?
[20:50] <baconbits> sixofour, I know how to change it's name on the desktop.  Has any one else come across this?

[20:57] <eggster2002> ok cheers
[20:58] <Time`s_Witness> flash for firefox keeps not working for me, i have googled and installed flashplugin-nonfree, it worked temporarily but it doesn't anymore. How to set it up permanently please? :|
[20:58] <resno1> I am unable to make my machine beep, after I installed the package.
[20:59] <Slart> MisterKeal: not sure if this is more helpful to you.. if you need a running clock.. http://tempus.sp.se/applet/Paron_swe_2.html
[21:00] <resno1> i got it!
[21:00] <resno1> thanks
[21:01] <vasa> hi all. could smb help me with tv-tuner?
[21:01] <DopeGhoti> vasa: how would Samba filesharing help with a TV tuner exactly?
[21:01] <MisterKeal> The people in #debian are all dicks to me nobody what is going on when I enter.
[21:02] <MisterKeal> no matter*
[21:02] <guntbert> !language | MisterKeal
[21:02] <grkblood13> how do i rip audio that is playing on a web site?
[21:02] <MisterKeal> I meant dicks as in detectives.
[21:03] <guntbert> and MisterKeal please keep to the topic of this channel - no need to rant about other channels :-)
[21:03] <kaolbrec> I get strange lines on the left and top of the screen (such that they would intersect the mouse position) when clicking on the desktop.. any ideas?
[21:04] <vasa> sorry. seems i made mistake with the coiceo f a chnnel
[21:04] <no-name> hey im looking for a linx app to view/edit jpeg-2000 images.  i have tried gimp and gthumb and neither work.  can anyone offer sugestions?
[21:04] <MisterKeal> I don't like it when I request a simple thing and the channel in full blaze interrogates why I would need such information, and blatantly tells me how to generatie the data myself instead of sticking to my question and producing their own generation for me to compare to.
[21:04] <MisterKeal> :(
[21:04] <guntbert> vasa: this is the ubuntu support channel -  Do you have an ubuntu support question?
[21:05] <grkblood13> how do i rip audio that is playing on a web site?
[21:05] <kaolbrec> grkblood13, try the fasterfox firefox addon
[21:05] <MisterKeal> I am allowed to tell people in here to use Windows since all the Linux channels tell me to use Linux?
[21:05] <inveratulo> hi all -- my laptop boots really slow... like 60 seconds, where is a good place to start troubleshooting?  it is installed on an SSD
[21:06] <MisterKeal> ;)
[21:06] <mikebeecham> I've just installed mediabuntu...can anyone point me in the right direction to remove drm from a paid tv show?
[21:06] <MaT-dg> is anyone able to do audio/video call with empathy? (no matter what network)
[21:06] <guntbert> MisterKeal:  Do you have an ubuntu support question?
[21:06] <vasa> Yes, I have one question
[21:06] <MisterKeal> Yes, guntbert
[21:07] <lullabud> in ubuntu 9.10, how do you modify your grub config?  /boot/grub/menu.lst is no longer there...
[21:07] <kaolbrec> I'll try a different tack... What sort of display weirdness do people commonly experience with ATi cards?
[21:07] <grkblood13> fasterfox says its for the older versions
[21:07] <MisterKeal> Why does Intrepid Ibex not work and why do people keep telling me to use Karmic Koala?
[21:07] <vasa> I'm novice in Ubuntu. I cannot configure my tv-tuner
[21:07] <kaolbrec> grkblood13, are you using Namoroka or whatever it's called?
[21:07] <guntbert> !doesntwork | MisterKeal
[21:07] <kaolbrec> grkblood13, (the newest firefox from a ppa)
[21:07] <grkblood13> not sure
[21:07] <epaphus> clear
[21:08] <epaphus> hello all. I manage about 50 ubuntu PCs. on 9.10 /8.10 .. and ocassionally users report firefox just closes without any warning and one has to start it again. Is this a ram leak, or a known issue?? they have all 2GB RAM...
[21:08] <MisterKeal> It doesn't work as in it blatantly does not function.
[21:08] <MisterKeal> Clear enough?
[21:08] <Guest95366> MisterKeal: As in it won't boot, can't get on internet, doesn't display anything?
[21:08] <lullabud> nevermind, found my grub answer... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2
[21:08] <MisterKeal> As in I can't get any software to work on it.
[21:08] <eremite> Wow, I had no idea that pidgen did IRC.  Fun.
[21:09] <kaolbrec> epaphus, I believe I have had this happen to me. I cannot see any reason.
[21:09] <rafa-10> 0la
[21:09] <MisterKeal> The only piece of Linux software I got to work on it was WINE.
[21:09] <brubrant> Hi! Can anyone help me?
[21:10] <janisozaur> is there any utility that would reverse string? "echo abc | util" shall result in "cba" at stdout
[21:10] <brubrant> I'm using Ubuntu Netbook Remix
[21:10] <MisterKeal> And Windows software works in WINE, but Linux software can't be compiled using the repository.
[21:10] <janisozaur> !anyone | brubrant
[21:10] <MisterKeal> Only reason WINE works is it comes already compiled.
[21:10] <brubrant> =)
[21:11] <kaolbrec> MisterKeal, are we talking about gentoo here?
[21:11] <guntbert> MisterKeal: please stop your ranting
[21:11] <MisterKeal> I can't get Intrepid Ibex to compile anything using the repository.
[21:11] <guntbert> !software | MisterKeal you usually don't need to compile
[21:12] <kaolbrec> Ah. It is as I suspected. Compiz was causing me the random problems with the screen.
[21:12] <no-name> hey im looking for a Linux app to view/edit jpeg-2000 images.  i have tried gimp and gthumb and neither work.  can anyone offer suggestions?
[21:12] <brubrant> I'm using Ubuntu Netbook Remix, after trying do Share a folder it asked me to Install a "network sharing module" (or something like that). After that my drives (sda2 & sda3) are beeing mounted as "read only". How to solve this??
[21:12] <Slart> janisozaur: this page is pretty good.. not sure if there is a reverse utility though http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/textproc.html
[21:12] <mikebeecham> hi..does anyone know of any software in Linux that can remove the DRM from my paid itunes tv shows?
[21:13] <duffydack> no-name, imagemagick and convert them ?
[21:13] <Nollog> brubrant: Tried installing samba and sbfs?
[21:13] <brubrant> Noup, not yet?
[21:13] <brubrant> not yet.
[21:13] <Nollog> samba allows you to share over a network even to windows machines.
[21:13] <gh0st> hello boys and girls, i have a pretty mission critical problem here. I NEED to get my wireless work because im going to be forced to live in a vehicle soon. I've just installed the newest Ubuntu Desktop 9.10, done all updates, and it hasnt recognised my wireless , lcpci gives: RaLink RT3090 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe. any ideas?
[21:13] <MisterKeal> Everytime I try to install something it says there doesn't exist a precompiled version, and that the drivers are all proprietary
[21:14] <brubrant> Yes, I know that... but my probem is the "read only" mode of my drives...
[21:14] <Slart> janisozaur: there is a reverse script on this page though http://www.unixguide.net/unix/sedoneliner.shtml
[21:14] <brubrant> nollog: Did you get it?
[21:14] <Nollog> it?
[21:15] <warriorforgod> MisterKeal: what exactly are you trying to install?  Hardware drivers?  Specific software?
[21:15] <brubrant> My problem...
[21:15] <MisterKeal> I have a Compaq Presario R4025US with 3200+ 950MHz single core AMD Athlon64 and ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M
[21:15] <Nollog> I don't know how to make your drive read and writable again.
[21:15] <janisozaur> Slart: i thought of creating my own for awk or sed, if failed with awk, but you once again come to save the day :)
[21:15] <brubrant> Nollog, ok, thks
[21:15] <Nollog> That has never happened me when I used samba.
[21:16] <Slart> janisozaur: you're welcome
[21:16] <Mikael_Persbrand> greetings!
[21:16] <brubrant> Should I install the "Samba" avaliable at "Ubuntu Software Center"?
[21:16] <MisterKeal> I am not sure if the CPU is really 950MHz or if it is supposed to be 900MHz, because Windows XP SP3 changed the speed my my CPU from 900MHz to 950MHz one day.
[21:16] <Typos_King> gh0st:    read  you... checking about
[21:16] <Time`s_Witness> how can i install firefox flash plugin decently please? Using ubuntu 9.10 64bits :s
[21:17] <Zenker> is there a way to access the ubuntu drive in windows?
[21:17] <paulo-freitas> Hello there, I need some help with ndiswrapper wireless configuration trought a WPA2 connection... =|
[21:17] <duffydack> Zenker, not ext4
[21:17] <janisozaur> Slart: upon investigating... there is a note just by this sed one-liner, it reads "emulates 'rev'" and indeed "rev" does what i need
[21:17] <Zenker> DANG
[21:17] <Mikael_Persbrand> i have a difficult question. As a self-proclaimed nerd with linux in my heart. Why is it so difficult to find a woman to share my intrest in free software?
[21:17] <warriorforgod> MisterKeal: Why don't you upgrade to 9.10?
[21:17] <Zenker> oh well i guess ill just have 2 keep copying
[21:17] <guntbert> !ot | Mikael_Persbrand
[21:17] <Slart> janisozaur: doh =) I didn't read it that carefully
[21:17] <warriorforgod> MisterKeal: You are 2 version behind.
[21:17] <Mikael_Persbrand> ubottu: oki thanks!
[21:18] <MisterKeal> Also, I don't know why my Athlon64 is only 950MHz considering an old Pentium4 I had was 3.4GHz
[21:18] <guntbert> MisterKeal: please stop that
[21:18] <MisterKeal> sorry, I meant 2.4GHz
[21:18] <guntbert> !ops | MisterKeal
[21:18] <rocket16> Does Karmic Koala support ATI cards now?
[21:19] <jpds> MisterKeal: Hi.
[21:19] <janisozaur> i just love how there already is a tool for everything you may wish for in linux
[21:19] <Aeguh3> can someone help me Im trying to install ubuntu server on a older server that does not have a cd drive and can not boot from anything but a floppy disk. I am trying to do the TFtp local install over the network. I believe I have the bootpd setup correctly but when I boot the old server from the floppy the etherboot brings up the network card and says waiting for link up but nothing happens.
[21:19] <MisterKeal> guntbert why are you calling ops on me?
[21:19] <MisterKeal> guntbert, I am pretty sure this isn't an emergency.
[21:19] <paulo-freitas> I'm only able to connect to my WPA2 network when I'm already connected in wired mode. Otherwise I can only in non-protected wireless connections. For some reason my WPA2 password resets at every try to connect. =\
[21:19] <guntbert> MisterKeal: because you are disrrutping this channel and don't stop if asked
[21:20] <warriorforgod> MisterKeal: I believe it is because you just keep talking about random problems with your computer and aren't asking any specific questions.
[21:20] <Slart> janisozaur: in retrospect.. a quick "apropos reverse" would have gotten us the answer quicker than googling =)
[21:20] <MisterKeal> guntbert I am asking for help with Ubuntu
[21:21] <janisozaur> Slart: good point. i'd gotten so lazy since there is screen'd irssi always waiting for me...
[21:21] <MisterKeal> warriorforgod, my problem is for the system I gave the specs for, Intrepid Ibex keeps telling me that all the software in the repository is illegal to own for the system I have.
[21:21] <colorle> Google in colors    www.colorle.com
[21:21] <guntbert> MisterKeal: but getting help means to ask specific questions and answer follow up questions
[21:21] <Slart> janisozaur: mm.. same thing here
[21:21] <warriorforgod> MisterKeal: Why don't you upgrade to latest release?
[21:22] <MisterKeal> Yes, guntbert, why does Intrepid Ibex keep telling me lots of Ubuntu software that is supposed to be free is illegal for me to own due to the computer I have?
[21:22] <warriorforgod> MisterKeal: Also if you could pastebin the error you are getting when trying to install software it would be helpful.
[21:22] <Slart> MisterKeal: I've never seen ubuntu telling anyone that all the software in the repository is illegal to own.. got a screenshot of that?
[21:23] <MisterKeal> It says it needs proprietary drivers.
[21:23] <duffydack> a bit of 'lost in translation' I think.
[21:23] <mezquitale> MisterKeal, some software may have licensing issues depending on what country youre in
[21:23] <OerHeks> restricted is not illegal.
[21:23] <StopSign> well if you bought the hardware you have a right for the drivers lmao
[21:24] <obscurant1st> how can i edit the start up services? there are too many unneeded services
[21:24] <Typos_King> gh0st:       I assume if you issue -> iwconfig;  shows no wireless interfaces?
[21:24] <Slart> !session | obscurant1st
[21:24] <Guest23851> Hey can anyone tell me where .exe software would install at?
[21:24] <paulo-freitas> Hello there, I need some help with ndiswrapper wireless configuration trought a WPA2 connection... =| I can connect to my WPA2 network only when I'm already connected in wired mode. Otherwise I can connect only in non-protected connections. For some reason my network WPA2 password resets at every try to connect. =\
[21:24] <MisterKeal> I have a police model laptop, is that why Ubuntu isn't allowed to use the drivers?
[21:24] <Slart> Guest23851: .exe software? are you trying to run windows programs in linux?
[21:25] <mezquitale> StopSign, if you bought the hardware you **should** have right to the drivers, MisterKeal however believes that if the manufacturer does not provide a driver then it should be illegal for linux developers to provide them for you, I disagree on that one, although it is restricted I would still use it
[21:25] <colorle> lool
[21:25] <obscurant1st> Slart, its not like startup applications, i meant services like httpd, squid etc they are not showin in startups
[21:25] <Guest23851> Yea I'm on Xubuntu and installed a windows program
[21:25] <Vigo> Do I have to install the zsync or jigido pkg in order to use those services?
[21:25] <Slart> !boot | obscurant1st
[21:25] <StopSign> lots of pooped ppl in here
[21:25] <Slart> obscurant1st: try that one instead
[21:25] <obscurant1st> Slart, will try, thx
[21:26] <Slart> Guest23851: I assume you've installed wine, correct?
[21:26] <Guest23851> Yea I got it on here
[21:27] <paulo-freitas> !ndiswrapper
[21:27] <Slart> Guest23851: then the c:\ drive that the windows programs see is located at ~/.wine/c_drive  or something like that.. so you've got ~/.wine/c_drive/Program Files and so on
[21:27] <brontosaurusrex> interesting that 'if($entry != '.' && $entry != '..' && $entry != '.htaccess')' is no faster than 'if(substr($entry, 0, 1)!='.')'
[21:27] <guntbert> brontosaurusrex: how is that ubuntu support related?
[21:27] <brontosaurusrex> guntbert: wrong channel
[21:28] <guntbert> brontosaurusrex: :)
[21:28] <MisterKeal> :(
[21:28] <Slart> Guest23851: ~ is the same as your home folder.. so /home/Guest23851/   or whatever your user name is on your machine
[21:29] <Guest23851> Ahh okay thanks Slart   I just found this software and its pretty bad ass just got to get used to it XD
[21:30] <Slart> Guest23851: there are lots of little gotchas like that.. you'll learn them one by one.. then one day you'll start thinking windows is backwards and odd ;)
[21:30] <colorle> Google in colors    www.colorle.com
[21:30] <Slart> colorle: will you stop spamming that site?
[21:30] <guntbert> colorle: don't
[21:30] <obscurant1st> Slart, thx mate, bum really worked
[21:30] <obscurant1st> :D

[21:32] <Versus> Hallo zusammen
[21:33] <markdd> anyone here have expence with gpg?
[21:33] <Slart> obscurant1st: not that I know of.. there are lots of files in /etc that handle what gets started and what doesn't.. /etc/rc.d comes to mind but I think there are others too

[21:33] <Vigo> markdd: A little, yes
[21:34] <markdd> is there a way to change the secret key password i am trying to encrpyt an email message but it is not accepting my password
[21:34] <Vigo> I have used hash keys and Privacy stuff since MIT released it to the Public.
[21:34] <Slart> obscurant1st: ahem.. that would be /etc/rc0.d , /etc/rc1.d, /etc/rc2.d and so on.. they all contain small scripts for starting stuff
[21:35] <Vigo> markdd: Do you have a Key?
[21:35] <Slart> obscurant1st: but I think bum is just an easier way of working with all those small scripts
[21:35] <markdd> yes
[21:35] <Tobarja> is there a guide for users coming to ubuntu from other non-debian distributions?
[21:35] <lukasz1> How can I delete ubuntu-restricted.deb?

[21:35] <coz_> Tobarja,  probaby there is   is there anything specific you had in mind?
[21:35] <Vigo> markdd: Just use that key.
[21:35] <markdd> huh?
[21:36] <timyeung> is there an open office irc chat room?
[21:36] <lukasz1> I would like to delete the Ubuntu restricted formats.deb from multiuniverse
[21:36] <Slart> timyeung: I think there is one called ##openoffice or something like that
[21:36] <Vigo> markdd: this is not Ubuntu Support related, lets take this OT.
[21:36] <Tobarja> coz_: mostly package management, console/server related, no X on this box

[21:41] <timyeung> well no one seems to be responding in #openoffice.org. Can some one help me figure this litle snag out? I set my page to two columns and i want to enter text in the other column. How do I switch between colums?
[21:41] <ajcarter> x chat

[21:41] <ajcarter> first time i've logged on this thing
[21:41] <coz_> timyeung,   depending on where in the world the are
[21:41] <coz_> ajcarter,  yeah xchat is real nice
[21:42] <Typos_King> timyeung:       you don't, multiple-columns layout is meant to be used for a SINGLE-flow text, is not a table you can hop cells and rows,you FLOW into the next column
[21:42] <timyeung> xchat beats gnome chat 10 to 1
[21:42] <rance> I need some help with ubuntu installed as a client inside suns virtualbox on a windows 7 host.  the live cd that installs 9.10 gets in ip address fine, but when I update drivers for the first time, IP discovery no longer works, it doesnt seem to matter what interface vbox simulates to the guest.  Any ideas?
[21:42] <MrPunkin> Can anyone give me tips on installing the latest Git source on Ubuntu 8.04.2?
[21:42] <ubuntu_> Just installed 9.10 and will not boot.
[21:42] <MrPunkin> It runs the make fine, but the install seems to do nothign
[21:42] <xtony> hello
[21:42] <timyeung> Typos_King, that what i feared thanks for the answer
[21:43] <DasEi1> rance: what info gives ifconfig in the guest ?
[21:43] <coz_> ubuntu,  when you ran the live cid did you run the cd test on there to be
[21:43] <coz_> ubuntu,  to be sure the cd is not corrupt?
[21:43] <Typos_King> timyeung:       you feared the feature didn't cater to your liking? hehe, is how columns work on any wordprocessor
[21:43] <Typos_King> timyeung:       maybe  you need a table :), no columns
[21:43] <ubuntu_> side by side with XP Pro on on a new 160G HD. It's a laptop, Compaq nc6220
[21:43] <StopSign> sounds like he set up partitions wrong

[21:44] <coz_> timyeung,  somone responded to you in openoffice
[21:44] <lukasz1> thanks for the help
[21:44] <rance> DasEi1: ifconfig shows the name of the interface, and the mac address and IPv^ info, when it work it gets IPv4 and when it doesnt, no joy, no other difference noted
[21:44] <StopSign> did you shrink the partition in winders first
[21:45] <DasEi1> rance: eth0 I guess; sudo ifdown eth0
[21:45] <DasEi1> rance: eth0 I guess; sudo ifup eth0 dhcp
[21:45] <rance> DasEi1: ifup, ifdown doesnt work after the update
[21:45] <z1c0> Hi i've to enable webcam for web application flash but I cant click on Enable ... why?

[21:46] <bongname1> -
[21:46] <ajcarter> hmmm xUbuntu really doesnt seem too different from regular Ubuntu
[21:47] <rance> DasEi1: Ive restored the snapshot back to a working state, let me update the kernel again, and try again.
[21:47] <Virus_7>  or not??
[21:48] <Typos_King> ajcarter   that's because it isn't, it's just GDM using xfce window manager
[21:48] <ubuntu_> Don't see any type of repair option on the CD.  I suppose that is on the alternate CD.

[21:51] <inedit00> hi mates, does anybody have here a full Mac keyboard? need some help, plx
[21:52] <FullPolarFox1981> Was ist ubuntu?
[21:52] <kostkon> kaolbrec, just ~/.xchat2
[21:52] <lullabud> is there a way to load the whole livecd into ram like there was on knoppix?
[21:52] <almoxarife> z1c0: flash is installed?
[21:52] <kaolbrec> kostkon, cheers
[21:52] <z1c0> sure
[21:52] <z1c0> almoxarife, yes
[21:53] <guntbert> !de | FullPolarFox1981
[21:53] <almoxarife> z1c0: you can see webcam out on any other prog?
[21:53] <z1c0> I'm installing cheese
[21:53] <FullPolarFox1981> guntbert Arigato!!! :)
[21:53] <Typos_King> lullabud:    a live-cd by definition does just that, thus the word 'live'
[21:54] <almoxarife> z1c0: you have vlc already?
[21:54] <lullabud> Typos_King: no, that's not true.  there was a boot option in knoppix that would load the whole cd to ram, so you could remove it and keep running the livecd environment.
[21:54] <lullabud> Typos_King: the ubuntu livecd loads programs from the cd when needed.
[21:54] <z1c0> ok cheese works, almoxarife
[21:55] <z1c0> almoxarife, I've vlc
[21:55] <Typos_King> lullabud:    .. I see what you  mean... not sure.. if there's such... haven't seen it myself, why do you need that feature for?
[21:55] <lullabud> Typos_King: decommissioning like 20 systems, want to wipe the hard disks and don't want to burn 20 cd's
[21:55] <almoxarife> z1c0: have you configured flash to global permissions to possible deny access to your camera?
[21:55] <lullabud> Typos_King: and got more systems coming....
[21:56] <guntbert> Typos_King: lullabud: clonezilla has that too...
[21:56] <ajcarter> hmmm... this is strange... why isn't my right clicking working with my laptop?
[21:56] <z1c0> almoxarife, no
[21:56] <lullabud> Typos_King: good info, does it load into memory?  the main site doesn't mention it...
[21:56] <almoxarife> z1c0: you can also use vlc to watch webcam output
[21:57] <Typos_King> lullabud:    I gather you meant that for guntbert :)
[21:57] <lullabud> Typos_King: oh, found the answer, looks like the answer is yes
[21:57] <z1c0> almoxarife, I need to use webcam on chatroulette.com
[21:57] <lullabud> oh, right.. haha, sorry guntbert
[21:57] <almoxarife> z1c0: I figured that one :)
[21:57] <z1c0> :)
[21:57] <lullabud> guntbert: awesome, thanks, this is exactly what i need
[21:58] <almoxarife> z1c0: I am lost now, what browser?
[21:58] <z1c0> chrome
[21:58] <almoxarife> z1c0: me too
[21:58] <z1c0> better ;)
[21:58] <almoxarife> z1c0: can you see the cam output thru vlc?
[21:58] <guntbert> lullabud: was a lucky guess - I typed before you finished the "decommisioning...." :)
[21:59] <z1c0> Dont know how, almoxarife
[21:59] <lullabud> guntbert: well, the to memory part is what's most important to me since there are multiple ways to wipe disks.  i wonder why ubuntu doesn't have a "to ram" option... it sure makes the experience faster, and it would leave a better impression.
[21:59] <Industrial> I am using Wubi and my time keeps resetting. I keep changing it back too :\
[21:59] <avogadro> Is there a tool to download itunes podcasts(free) in ubuntu ?
[21:59] <almoxarife> z1c0: media > capture device
[21:59] <jrib> sburwood: you can be in more than one channel, no need to apoligize :)
[22:00] <Purpley> I need to make a script how do I make a .py file?
[22:00] <trism> lullabud: this bug https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/casper/+bug/25496 leads me to believe that this will work in lucid, alsohttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootToRAM might be worth looking at
[22:00] <Purpley> nvm
[22:00] <Purpley> I figured it out
[22:00] <almoxarife> z1c0: media > capture device > play
[22:00] <sburwood> I want to install a frostwire or limewire. Neither worked.  Both said that I lacked something associated with java
[22:00] <sburwood> anyone wanna help?
[22:00] <guntbert> lullabud: you won't find people here who make such decisions - mainly "users" - but you could file a bug/wish on launchpad
[22:01] <xangua> sburwood: do you have java installed¿
[22:01] <sburwood> xangua: I do have a lot of things that seem java
[22:01] <racerd> hey
[22:01] <z1c0> almoxarife, yes I can see.
[22:01] <lullabud> trism: yeah.... it's odd.  they have a howto on remixing a cd to do it here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootToRAM
[22:01] <racerd> I got an message when i played a movie file
[22:01] <racerd> stated
[22:01] <racerd> codec error: use windows media player
[22:02] <racerd> then it stops the player
[22:02] <sburwood> xangua: For frostwire, I am missing sun-java6-jre
[22:02] <almoxarife> z1c0: really lost now, have firefox still?
[22:02] <nibbler> racerd: most likely its a virus, that wants to exploid windows media player
[22:02] <Nollog> racerd: That is a malware/not a real pirated movie/tvshow.
[22:02] <racerd> figures
[22:02] <racerd> .....
[22:02] <sburwood> xangua: but I can't find it, even in Synaptic
[22:02] <z1c0> almoxarife, sure
[22:02] <jrib> sburwood: pastebin: apt-cache policy sun-java6-jre
[22:02] <Innomen> So, just to confirm, live persistent usb is still impossible right?
[22:03] <racerd> you guys use torrents?
[22:03] <almoxarife> z1c0: tried with firefox?
[22:03] <z1c0> almoxarife, sure
[22:03] <Typos_King> Innomen:   what do you mean?
[22:03] <nibbler> racerd: thats how i download my latest linux isos, yep
[22:03] <xangua> sburwood: then just install it: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre
[22:03] <racerd> you guys just google or do you regular some decent sites?
[22:03] <almoxarife> z1c0: yes you tried and it failed as well?
[22:03] <nibbler> !warez | racerd
[22:03] <z1c0> almoxarife, yep
[22:04] <Nollog> lol, indeed nibbler
[22:04] <racerd> who said anything about piracy
[22:04] <racerd> i wouldn't do something like that
[22:04] <lullabud> trism: whoa, what luck!  the fix was committed today!  and i just finished downloading the lucid livecd! :D
[22:04] <Tobarja> anyone know the terminal type to set putty for ssh'ing into ubuntu?
[22:04] <Haffe> Do torrents imply warez?
[22:04] <Nollog> www.legaltorrents.org
[22:04] <guntbert> Innomen: no, that works
[22:04] <lullabud> though... the livecd i have may not be in that build of the cd. =/
[22:04] <xangua> nibbler: are linux distros piracy¿ :S
[22:04] <Haffe> I downloaded ubuntu 9.04 over torrent.
[22:04] <nibbler> racerd: noone yet... :=)
[22:05] <ajcarter> Okay I have a question i need to ask.  I've been wanting to learn how to do this for a while.
[22:05] <racerd> hmmm
[22:05] <Nollog> Haffe: No, the fact she had issues with one of those movies that ask for wmp to exploit, and then asked about where to download them does.
[22:05] <almoxarife> z1c0: I am out of ideas, but I wonder if it has more to do with the global flash settings than the system/?
[22:05] <guntbert> Tobarja: doesn't seem to matter much
[22:05] <Tobarja> guntbert: somethings not quite right... i can't up-arrow

[22:06] <Tobarja> but it doesn't work outside either
[22:06] <ajcarter> I want to install flash player plugin for firefox.   When I go to the webpage to download it for linux i see: a (YUM), .tar.gz. , .rpm, .deb download options
[22:06] <ajcarter> how do i install a .tar.gz?
[22:06] <guntbert> Tobarja: in screen you nee ctrl+a <esc> to get into "copy mode"
[22:07] <sburwood> jrib: I pasted it at http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/398018/
[22:07] <rocket16> ajcarter: Download .deb
[22:07] <xangua> ajcarter: if you use ubuntu-gnome. sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[22:07] <z1c0> almoxarife, yes how?
[22:07] <almoxarife> ajcarter: install the deb
[22:07] <sburwood> xangua: I pasted it at http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/398018/
[22:07] <Tobarja> guntbert: no... i'm just trying to get to my bash history
[22:07] <rocket16> ajcarter: Download .deb and double click on it to install
[22:07] <trism> lullabud: should be there, it was 2-19 not 3-19
[22:07] <jrib> sburwood: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list*
[22:07] <lullabud> trism: oh.  right.  man, i have no concept of time these days....

[22:08] <dkulchenko> Hi all! Since around 2 months ago, my Asus Eee netbook has been doing hard shutdowns (like *hard* shutdowns, it's dead in less than a second) when the battery hits around 19%. This is only a problem in Ubuntu, this doesn't happen in Windows XP on the same computer. Why is this so?
[22:09] <guntbert> Tobarja: strange - I mostly use just the default settings
[22:10] <Typos_King> ajcarter:   then download the tar :)
[22:10] <xangua> sburwood: have you enabled restricted repos
[22:10] <xangua> ¿
[22:10] <z1c0> almoxarife, the problem is: ex. in youtube video, right click, settings, it opens a new window but this is clickable
[22:10] <sburwood> don't know
[22:10] <guntbert> !compile | ajcarter
[22:10] <richthegeek> hi, does anyone know how the "Connect to a Server" function actually works .. I'd like to automate it
[22:10] <sburwood> xangua: How do I do that?
[22:11] <xangua> sburwood: sis> admon> software origins
[22:11] <sburwood> in which tab?
[22:11] <xangua> the first
[22:12] <almoxarife> z1c0: on youtube if I right click within the vid I get an options menu, that menu has 'options' , there you may find some clues
[22:12] <sburwood> xangua: I have checked main, universe, restricted, and multiverse
[22:14] <bitsmart> ok folks, I am trying to setup another linux dist on a diff. partition and include it in my grub conf. I ran the boot_info_script from sourceforge and the output is in this pastebin: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/2Bfxjba3   the grub conf for the new distro is set up to boot from the partition, not the MBR, the grub.conf is here: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/a0B7CXpc
[22:14] <bitsmart> how do I get this to work?
[22:15] <gkd> Is this the right place to ask for advice about netbook remix being suitable for my friends needs?
[22:15] <ajcarter> wow terminal is really cool, i want to learn how to use this better
[22:15] <guntbert> !cli | ajcarter
[22:16] <ajcarter> ubottu: Thanks
[22:16] <gkd> She has a macbook and uses it mostly for facebook, hotmail, and some image editing (she likes gimp)
[22:17] <fitz> hello
[22:17] <Tobarja> guntbert: bah... i wasn't in bash... i was in /bin/sh
[22:17] <daftykins> gkd: so you're advising to install UNR on her mac? may i ask why?
[22:17] <guntbert> Tobarja: that would explain it - thx for reporting back
[22:18] <xangua> daftykins: because he likes it¿ :S
[22:18] <fr3nzy> I have a problem with compiz, it doesn't seem to be running. When I execute the 'compiz' command I get this error message ->http://pastebin.com/z5eCTSmp. Compiz has worked without any issues for me until just recently and I'm not sure why. I remember installing adobe reader before the things wen't bad. Anyone has any ideas? I'd like to get this fixed but I'm not quite sure what to start with.
[22:18] <daftykins> xangua: that's not my line of questioning :)
[22:18] <gkd> daftykins: I know nothing about os x, and she's not happy with the constant "spinning apple" when she tried a live cd of unr it was alot "smoother" (more comfortable interface compared to os x)
[22:19] <daftykins> gkd: how old a macbook is it? bear in mind that the support for ubuntu isn't quite solid and given installation methods like rEFIt and so on, it could be updated and just instantly brick the install at some point like someone i know's has
[22:21] <bitsmart> so...no grub wizards can help me?
[22:21] <dante123> hi all, I have a friend who wants to dual boot xp and linux  (would you recommend he go with the new lynx beta or stick with 9.10).....
[22:21] <bitsmart> 9.10
[22:22] <rocket16> dante123: 9.10
[22:22] <dante123> ANy particular reasons bitsmart and rocket16?
[22:22] <juboba> has anyone tried\ Lucid Lynx?
[22:22] <juboba> that's the codename right?
[22:22] <gkd> daftykins: I've got a backup of the disk in the macbook 2.1 so don't mind a few bricks along the way.  Are there disadvanteges of UNR (considering lack of intel atom, it's a 2.16 core 2 Duo) compared to a "real" ubuntu install? if not, I think the nice, simple interface is just what she needs
 i have it on two machines and it is working well
[22:22] <DasEi> juboba: yes, but a theme for #ubuntu+1
[22:22] <juboba> horray!
[22:22] <gse> cazzo di roba è??
[22:23] <juboba> 83% downloading
[22:23] <rocket16> dante123: The beta still is unstable on many issues. But 9.10 has better support, the beta is for developers only
[22:23] <FullPolarFox1981> Hi!
[22:23] <juboba> rocket16: not only 4 developers
[22:23] <bitsmart> dante123: my reason for recommending karmic is that will give your friend a good first impression of ubuntu
[22:23] <rocket16> Hi FullPolarFox1981
[22:24] <juboba> you can try it and inform the community about the bugs
[22:24] <FullPolarFox1981> rocket16 What you doing here?
[22:24] <rocket16> juboba: I mean, it is not for ordinary users
[22:24] <juboba> agree
[22:24] <rocket16> FullPolarFox1981: Just watching the discussions
[22:24] <daftykins> gkd: it's not going to be any slower for running UNR, the kernel will still make use of the hardware i think
[22:24] <DasEi> !lucid > juboba
[22:25] <FullPolarFox1981> rocket16 Do you wanna to talk or not exactly?
[22:25] <rocket16> FullPolarFox1981: Do you know me?

[22:25] <guntbert> !ot | FullPolarFox1981 rocket16
[22:25] <bitsmart> how can I modify ubuntu's grub setup to include /dev/sda3's grub stuff?"
[22:26] <rocket16> Sorry gunbert
[22:26] <FullPolarFox1981> guntbert Hello! Are you from German?
[22:26] <gkd> daftykins: Fantastic!  Thanks for clarifying.  I love the layout of netbook remix.  It's perfect for my friends needs. Knowing that it doesn't degrade performance given lack of atom is very good news.
[22:26] <StopSign> anyone tryed pcbsd yet
[22:26] <DasEi> FullPolarFox1981: I'am shall I PM you ?
 he already has a good impression as he has a dell mini running netbook edition.....
[22:27] <gkd> daftykins: Thank you for your time.
[22:27] <FullPolarFox1981> DasEi yep, who are you?
[22:27] <hal1> what compiz plugins are installed by default with ubuntu?  How do I configure compiz to use a different plugin or other feature not enabled by default?
[22:27] <bastid_raZor> !ccsm | hal1
[22:27] <rocket16> FullPolarFox1981: This is a support channel, so if you want personal talks, open a dialogue window
[22:28] <daftykins> gkd: no problem. oh i just got told sound might be broken, may be different for different versions
 well if your friend is brave, and pretty techno-savvy then go for the beta, but if he's new to linux stick with karmic koala
[22:29] <no-name> does anyone know how to batch convert jp2 files to jpg files?
[22:29] <no-name> i have imagemacick but suck at commeanline so
[22:29] <no-name> imagemagick
[22:29] <synapse> hey
[22:29] <gkd> daftykins: Sound is fine on boot CD.  Not only that, It found my wireless HP printer without any extra software... Ubuntu rules!
[22:30] <ramy> hey
[22:30] <daftykins> ^_^
[22:30] <guntbert> !hi | synapse
[22:30] <soreau> hal: If you want to install additional plugins, we can help you with that in #compiz
[22:30] <synapse> How can I combine this line all into one?  $var = 'grep admin /etc/passwd | awk '{print $4}''; grep $var /etc/group
[22:30] <synapse> basically want to use the awk results against the next grep
[22:30] <synapse> tried a pipe, didnt work
[22:31] <llutz> no-name: for jp2 in *,jp2; do convert "$jp2" $(basename $jp2 .jp2).jpg;done        untested
[22:31] <martin_> hello all
[22:31] <guntbert> synapse: I guess #bash will provide better help
[22:31] <gkd> Can I have a samba share (re)mount on every reboot of a client?
[22:31] <DasEi> martin_: hello
[22:31] <synapse> I guess I need to know how to pipe the results to the next grep
[22:32] <synapse> errr
[22:32] <martin_> i have a problem with my mic and i have a Emachines m250
[22:32] <martin_> can anybody help me
[22:32] <martin_> my mic doesn't work
[22:33] <soreau> synapse: Maybe you can ask in #bash
[22:33] <Typos_King> synapse:  bash allows ; in the same line for separation
[22:34] <synapse> I dont want to use that
[22:34] <synapse> i.e., combine into one command
[22:34] <synapse> I think I fugured it out sorta
[22:34] <Typos_King> synapse:  use a second pipe :P
[22:34] <hal> thank thank you bastid_raZor .  When I enable desktop cube, I can't switch workspaces
[22:35] <DasEi> martin_: the soundcard itself is correctly detected ? did you unmute the mic-channel ?
[22:35] <llutz> synapse: grep $(grep admin /etc/passwd | awk '{print $4}) /etc/group
[22:36] <synapse> grep root /etc/passwd | awk -F: '{ print $4 }' < grep /etc/group
[22:36] <bastid_raZor> hal: it probably conflicts with the shortcut .. possibly change the shortcut for switching workspaces. #compiz is far better at assisting with compiz issues than I.
[22:36] <Typos_King> ohhh
[22:36] <llutz> synapse: grep $(awk '/admin/ {print $4}' /etc/passwd) /etc/group
[22:36] <martin_> DasEi i can hear music or watching movies but if i go on skype is my mic dead
[22:36] <gkd> Are there dedicated rooms for both ubuntu on mac and ubuntu netbook remix? Or is it ok to ask here on those topics (if needed)
[22:37] <daftykins> !ask | gkd
[22:37] <daftykins> gkd: someone will tell you where to go if they know, i think :)
[22:37] <DasEi> martin_ : system > prefrences > sound, is mic unmuted ?
[22:38] <gkd> daftykins: Good to know!
[22:38] <tonino70> ciao

[22:39] <Mimi> Hey, I have a really silly question. What would happen if I have 2 BitTorrent clients downloading the same torrent to the same location? Would it download stuff quicker? :P
[22:40] <martin_> DasEi it was already unmuted
[22:40] <hal> thanks for the help basti2
[22:40] <hal> thanks for the help bastid_raZor
[22:40] <hal> please ignore my last message basti2
[22:40] <darolu> Mimi, one of them would create a copy of the files, i.e. ubuntu.iso & ubuntu.iso[1]
[22:41] <daftykins> Mimi: no, it'll probably go slower due to trying to make too many TCP/UDP connections over the same net conn. also they won't both be able to write to the same file
[22:41] <Guest36744> Mimi they feed from each other
[22:41] <Mimi> darolu, O_o Pleh!!!!!
[22:41] <edeca> Mimi: You'll saturate your connection, that's all
[22:41] <bastid_raZor> hal: good luck
[22:41] <Mimi> Guest36744, Ohhh yeah, that makes sense *ponders*
[22:41] <darolu> Mimi, so actually your download would be slow, 2 times slower as you would be downloading the same file two times with your bandwidth split in two
[22:41] <martin_> DasEi Computer say's nooooooooooooooooo
[22:41] <DasEi> martin_: if you started skype, you get a icon in the upper bar, left-click it, check options (skype)
[22:41] <daftykins> Mimi: if you had two connections however and a torrent with multiple files, you could file prioritise on both and then merge the result
[22:41] <martin_> i'd did that also but no change
[22:42] <Guest36744> mimi try starting one and waiting before you start the other, see how fast your network is
[22:42] <Mimi> Too bad, my ubuntu ISO is going very slow :P
[22:42] <daftykins> Mimi: what speed vs. the speed of your connection? it could be a fixable issue if you are behind a router
[22:42] <DasEi> !who | martin_
[22:43] <FullPolarFox1981> martin_ Hello!
[22:43] <Mimi> daftykins, Unfortunately it isn't my own router; I pay my neighbor 5 bucks a month to use their internet
[22:43] <FullPolarFox1981> martin_ You are my hero!!!
[22:43] <daftykins> Mimi: ah.
[22:43] <DasEi> martin_: but your hardware gets recognized there ? do least get a output in skype ?
[22:43] <Mimi> daftykins, but even when i had my own router, it was pretty slow, even after opening ports,
[22:43] <darolu> Mimi, what iso are you downloading? perhaps there is a direct download (either http or ftp); in any case check your downloading port is open (if you have your router's firewall enabled)
[22:43] <martin_> DasEi computer said noooooo either with skype i can't fix it
[22:43] <Guest36744> mimi, and start learning about zsync
[22:44] <FullPolarFox1981> Hi
[22:44] <darolu> !hi | FullPolarFox1981
[22:44] <disismt> hi all I am trying to upgrade to 10.04 beta 1 but when I do update-manager -d and click 'upgrade', the relase notes says 'This is still a ALPHA release.'
[22:44] <FullPolarFox1981> darolu thanks)))
[22:45] <edeca> disismt: #ubuntu+1

[22:45] <edeca> !lucid | disismt
[22:45] <darolu> disismt, Lucid questions at #ubuntu+1
[22:46] <mikelifeguard> How can I change how long the passphrase for my gnupg key is cached?
[22:46] <MrPunkin> After installing a new application that alters the path I have called hash -r , . ~/.bash_profile and . ~/.bashrc and it still won't recognize the command until I log back in. Any ideas?
[22:47] <arvind_k> !ping
[22:47] <juboba> !ping
[22:47] <edeca> Heh, good work ubottu
[22:48] <DasEi> martin_: so with skype you don't even get a testsound ?
[22:49] <FullPolarFox1981> Who wanna a cup of milk and pancake?
[22:49] <martin_> DasEi i habe schon alles ausprobiert bei skype geht einfach nicht
[22:49] <ruge> Hi folks, has anyone ever encountered the issue where Handbrake takes FOREVER to scan a DVD?
[22:49] <darolu> MrPunkin, I personally prefer creating symbolic links at any $PATH's directory, it may work for you too
[22:49] <FullPolarFox1981> martin_ Schade))
[22:49] <DasEi> !english | martin_
[22:49] <martin_> ubotto i'm sorry
[22:50]  * xangua didin't know there was #xubuntu o-)
[22:50] <MrPunkin> darolu: I still need to be able to rescan the files available in the path directories though, don't I? Regardless of where the actual binary is housed.
[22:50] <FullPolarFox1981> xangua Use google
[22:50] <hipitihop> when I try to adduser I get "cannot lock /etc/passwd' how can I resolve this ?
[22:50] <darolu> MrPunkin, not with symbolic links, they just work automatic as bash scans $PATH directories every time you call a command
[22:50] <DasEi> martin_ : I#m quite sure, if your 'common sound works, you haven't found the correct  setting in skype then, which distro are you using ?
[22:50] <DopeGhoti> hipitihop: are you using sudo?
[22:51] <hipitihop> DopeGhoti, naturally but thank you for asking :-)
[22:51] <bazhang> FullPolarFox1981, please dont suggest that here
[22:51] <DopeGhoti> hipitihop: lsof | grep /etc/passwd ← see what else has that file open
[22:51] <MrPunkin> darolu: but my path includes /usr/local/bin where my binary file is installed. Why would it matter if it were the file itself or a symlink?
[22:51] <martin_> DasEi i'm using 9.10 but i have a Emachines netbook M250
[22:52] <FullPolarFox1981> bazhang ok)))
[22:52] <bazhang> FullPolarFox1981, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here
[22:52] <FullPolarFox1981> bazhang suddently, they banned me estsrday
[22:53] <FullPolarFox1981> bazhang so, now i am here :-D
[22:53] <DasEi> FullPolarFox1981: will happen again, if you take generic chatter in here, as I told you already
[22:53] <darolu> MrPunkin, I see; if your binary is a $PATH directory you shouldn't need to log back in; it's kinda weird
[22:53] <darolu> is in*
[22:53] <bazhang> FullPolarFox1981, that is no reason to be offtopic, if you continue you will be removed from this channel
[22:53] <FullPolarFox1981> DasEi Ich habe kein angst.
[22:54] <MrPunkin> darolu: yeah... for some reason though the command isn't found without logging back in.
[22:54] <FullPolarFox1981> bazhang And so what? God will not allow me to the edem?
[22:54] <DasEi> martin_: that doesn't matter, if your soundchip is detected correctly, skype can use it
[22:55] <bj0rn2> installed 10.04 beta 1 on my netbook (compaq mini 311) and it won't boot. I'd like to try to find the cause. anyone care to point me on how to get more diagostics output when booting?
[22:55] <hipitihop> DopeGhoti, claims a python process in the ssh session. that session is running this xchat-gnome
[22:55] <erUSUL> !lucid | bj0rn2
[22:55] <bazhang> bjorge, #ubuntu+1 for lucid please
[22:55] <FullPolarFox1981> Uops... Aliens just kidneppt me, but I am surwayve
[22:56] <bazhang> bjorge, sorry about that
[22:56] <DopeGhoti> hipitihop: I can't think of why xchat would need access to /etc/passwd
[22:56] <FullPolarFox1981> bazhang Nevermind)))
[22:56] <bj0rn2> bazhang: np :)
[22:56] <newuser> Hallo. Can any tell me how to configure ubuntu for login with a smart card? Thanks
[22:56] <DopeGhoti> hipitihop: that said, that's why it can't be accessed.
[22:57] <markdd34> where are on my computer is my secret key for gpg stored
[22:57] <hipitihop> DopeGhoti, ok let me quit this session, log out of the ssh session and then see what lsof shows, brb
[22:57] <MikeChelen> newuser: maybe check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonAccessCard
[22:57] <markdd34> hello>>
[22:57] <markdd34> ???
[22:57] <llutz> markdd34: ~/.gnupg
[22:57] <perlsyntax> Does anyone use gvim??
[22:58] <FullPolarFox1981> perlsyntax Noup, I use it not
[22:58] <darolu> perlsyntax, I did for a while
[22:58] <Purpley> How can I make my system not respond or drop ping requests?
[22:58] <FullPolarFox1981> Purpley Burn it with fire
[22:58] <llutz> Purpley: stupid idea to do, but use iptables if you really want
[22:58] <Purpley> llutz why?
[22:58] <darolu> bazhang, ty
[22:59] <llutz> Purpley: there are other means to detect your host. so dropiing icmp8 wouldn't make sense, just makes network service difficult
[22:59] <Yhapster> so i followed this guide: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent to create a bootable USB flash drive, which works fine on my laptop
[22:59] <perlsyntax> daroluWel my prob is i try to install PyLint for vim and i put it in my ~/.vim/compiler/ but when i type :PyLint i get a error cal no text error command.
[22:59] <Purpley> I want to make my computer look near invisible or atleast safer
[22:59] <David-T> Purpley: a better question is why drop it?
[22:59] <perlsyntax> odd
[22:59] <Purpley> Security
[23:00] <Yhapster> however, on my new Atom-based desktop, it doesn't work, it simply says Boot error
[23:00] <David-T> dropping icmp echo requests does not provide security
[23:00] <llutz> Purpley: stupid, as i said.
[23:00] <Purpley> David-T, Makes it harder for hackers to detect im on the internet
[23:00] <Yhapster> i have the latest Bios updates,, and the machine definitely supports USB booting and sees the drive and tries to boot from it
[23:00] <llutz> Purpley: no, it doesn't
[23:00] <perlsyntax> ?
[23:01] <Yhapster> so can someone help me figure out why one machine would work, but the other says Boot error
[23:01] <hipitihop> DopeGhoti, my bad, got confused which session, nothing to do with the xchat session... anyway when I run with sudo I get "lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon file system /home/ssh-admin/.gvfs
[23:01] <hipitihop>       Output information may be incomplete.
[23:01] <hipitihop> python     3208  myuserid   9u      REG                8,1     2177   12805184 /etc/passwd"
[23:01] <David-T> Purpley: if you really knew enough to make that statement definitively, you'd know how to block them...
[23:01] <mjkjr|wirc> hello, i've just installed ubuntu, I normally use windows. how can I get a .jar file to run?
[23:01] <Purpley> Sigh, back to the internets then
[23:01] <Bonstar> whats the command to read the manual with gedit editor?
[23:01] <David-T> Purpley: it's pointless, but use iptables if you really want, as llutz said
[23:01] <bj0rn2> mjkjr|wirc: install java JRE och JDK
[23:02] <DopeGhoti> hipitihop: pstree -p | grep -C3 3208  ← see what owns that process
[23:02] <mjkjr|wirc> bjorn2: thank you
[23:02] <darolu> perlsyntax, you need to create ~/.gvimrc directory and install PyLint there
[23:02] <hipitihop> DopeGhoti, does that need sudo ?
[23:02] <DasEi> Purpley: or a gui like firestarter, doing the nasty job more comfortable
[23:02] <DopeGhoti> hipitihop: generally not
[23:02] <Yhapster> any ideas?
[23:03] <DopeGhoti> hipitihop: if you don't have pstree, install the psmisc package
[23:03] <Purpley> DasEi, Alright, any ideas of a good place to start for learning iptables?
[23:03] <DasEi> Yhapster: what's the exact message you get ?
[23:03] <Yhapster> DasEi: "Boot error"
[23:03] <Yhapster> helpful huh?
[23:03] <Yhapster> and it works fine on my laptop
[23:04] <CharbeL> hi how can i download yahoo ?
[23:04] <DasEi> Yhapster: it's an external usb, you can boot it from lappi, but not from another machine so far; is it grub throwing the error or is it before on the hardware (bios) side ?
[23:05] <darolu> Purpley, man iptables
[23:05] <Purpley> Alright
[23:05] <juboba> CharbeL, you want to download Yahoo?
[23:05] <juboba> all of it?
[23:05] <juboba> xD
[23:05] <Yhapster> DasEi: it's likely the BIOS, because the entire screen is blank, with just "Boot error" in the top left. and yes, you've got the situation understood, works on laptop, not on another machine
[23:05] <Purpley> And is there some addon someone might know of for firefox that removes the referere
[23:05] <hipitihop> DopeGhoti, nope have pstree.. out shows nautilus, polkit-gnome-au, python, seahorse-agent, ssh-agent, tracker-applet
[23:06] <CharbeL> yes juboba
[23:06] <DasEi> Yhapster: if you plug the usb in and then go into bios of that box, is it realized there and can it be set to boot from it ?
[23:06] <Yhapster> DasEi: yes it ccan
[23:07] <Yhapster> DasEi: and does.
[23:07] <DasEi> Yhapster: and also it's not a 64bit os on 32bit box ?
[23:07] <darolu> CharbeL, you're gonna need a very large hard drive =P seriously, the only app from yahoo I know is its messenger, if that's what you want you don't need it, you can use empathy or any other IM client available trhough software centre
[23:08] <Purpley> And is there some addon someone might know of for firefox that removes the referrer
[23:08] <Yhapster> DasEi: It's a 32-bit OS on a 32/64-bit box (Intel Atom D510)
[23:08]  * David-T wonders what webpage listing bad security ideas Purpley found
[23:08] <DasEi> Yhapster: so not the issue, did you try to boot it with suber grub disk ?
[23:09] <blendmaster1024> would someone please tell me if they can ping this ip? <IP_ADDRESS>
[23:09] <jhaig> blendmaster1024: No
[23:09] <blendmaster1024> you can't?
[23:09] <blendmaster1024> that makes me feel better
[23:09] <Cress> Me neither
[23:10]  * Purpley wonders if people can answer a question directly
[23:10] <lkvv> I have herd about people making a separate partition for their homee partition why would you do that
[23:10] <darolu> blendmaster1024, I can't either
[23:10] <blendmaster1024> because i was freaking out that i couldn't ping it
[23:10] <DasEi> blendmaster1024: It's not just you! http://<IP_ADDRESS> looks down from here.
[23:10] <Cress> lol
[23:10] <darolu> !patience | Purpley
[23:10] <Yhapster> DasEi: no, but that box has Windows 7 installed on it, which I did using a bootable USB flash drive
[23:10] <blendmaster1024> http is not running on that IP
[23:10] <David-T> Purpley: you could trying google first. for example "firefox referrer plugin" gives you your answer as the first hit.
[23:10] <jmartini> I'm having some issue with Rhythmbox. Sound works with VLC and simply hovering the mouse over an mp3 in the file browser bug rhythmbox is silent
[23:10] <jmartini> Anyone seen this before?
[23:11] <Cress> hm
[23:11] <Cress> jmartini: You say you get sound from everything BUT rhythmbox?
[23:11] <Yhapster> DasEi: I think what it's not liking is the fact that the key has two partitions
[23:11] <Yhapster> the first partition that it's trying to boot from is FAT32 and has GRUB loaded there
[23:11] <DasEi> Yhapster: is it karmic on the usb, fresh install ?
[23:12] <Yhapster> DasEi: I did a dd of the 9.10 i386 livecd iso to the 2nd, 750MB partition
[23:12] <Yhapster> that partition was formatted using ext4
[23:13] <DasEi> Yhapster: and then configured grub to boot the cd, hmm
[23:13] <Yhapster> DasEi: well that link doesn't quite do that
[23:13] <Cress> Anyone good with internal modems?
[23:13] <Seven_Six_Two> I have a hp photosmart s20 photoscanner, and I've found an ubuntu manpage that lists it as supported by the uscanner driver, but I can't find the driver itself. source or deb, anywhere. Does anyone know where I can find it?
[23:13] <DasEi> Yhapster: I don't understand ..
[23:14] <Yhapster> DasEi: that link tells you to copy vmlinuz and initrd.lz from the ISO to the /boot/ directory
[23:14] <Yhapster> grub loads those, with parameters to continue the boot from the ISO/2nd partition
[23:14] <Yhapster> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[23:14] <ruge> Hi folks, has anyone ever encountered the issue where Handbrake takes FOREVER to scan a DVD?
[23:15] <Cress> Seven_Six_Two: Sorry, I'm not sure, Try looking around the forums for your distro? someones possibly linked it
[23:15] <daftykins> ruge: i would imagine that's an inappropriate subject i'm afraid
[23:15] <jmartini> Cress: yes
[23:15] <Cress> ruge: Try anything else? Does it have the same problem?
[23:16] <ruge> Well, its just strange because I have a DVD of mine I wish to put on my PC. So i put in the disc, hit source, select the disc and it takes a long time to scan it!
[23:16] <ruge> its been like 30 minutes and its about 70% done
[23:16] <daftykins> is it a sony pictures/Disney film?
[23:16] <Cress> jmartini: Then I don't know what could be causing it, I had a similar problem, Try updating?
[23:16] <ruge> its a DVD from our local ABC station
[23:16] <ruge> *australia*
[23:16] <bazhang> ruge, could be disk damage, or some new encrytpion scheme, best to let it time out
[23:17] <jmartini> I'm updated. I even removed and reinstalled the package
[23:17] <ruge> bazhang: ill confirm this with another disc, one second.
[23:17] <bazhang> ruge, this from the PPA?
[23:17] <Cress> ruge does anything else work faster than handbrake?
[23:17] <DasEi> Yhapster: I get that approach, but it's not very nice as you can't update the system then, or alter it, also you can't use standard rescues as you could with common install in situations like this
[23:17] <jmartini> Oh well, I'll figure it out eventually and just use another player in the interim
[23:17] <Cress> jmartini:  I'm sorry, I can't be much help now since I'm currently booted in XP
[23:18] <ruge> Cress: ive never used anything else, i just installed ubuntu and handbrake
[23:18] <|Robert|> hy all
[23:18] <Cress> Ruge: Try something else, pop in a movie or something and play it with another program
[23:18] <Seven_Six_Two> Cress, I use ubuntu 9.10, and all I can find is the manpage on the ubuntu doc site. I searched the ubuntu forums and did a google and google/linux search.
[23:18] <ruge> Unless its intentionally meant to take ages  just to scan the titles.. its strange that my drives dont show any activity though.
[23:18] <jmartini> Cress: no worries, just thought I'd through it out. It's not a huge priority as sound works with everything else
[23:18] <Yhapster> DasEi: Sure you can. THere's a persistent storage file in the fat32 partition, and if a new release comes out, i just dd it back into that 2nd partition
[23:18] <Cress> Seven_Six_Two: Just give me a minute, I'll help you look
[23:19] <|Robert|> i try to add a new taskbar and now its freeze all, i can't access is... how can i remove it ?
[23:19] <Seven_Six_Two> Cress, thanks. I appreciate it. Maybe you'll see something I missed.
[23:19] <lars_> hey evrybdy i need help enabling my webcam...i have the flashpackage all installed and when i go to facebook for example its says to "click allow to use webcam" now i was wondering if i enable it from my terminal or what....im kinda lost here
[23:19] <Cress> Seven_Six_Two: No problem bro
[23:19] <ronnie_vd_c> does somebody know if/how its possible to share a desktop with x2go?
[23:20] <DasEi> Yhapster: you will always just have the iso, which you can't update (not speaking of a dist-upgrade here)
[23:20] <bazhang> ruge, I have handbrake from the PPA, was yours installed from somewhere else?
[23:20] <Cress> Ruge: It could be your cd drive, Try running a movie or something see if it loads quickly
[23:20] <ronnie_vd_c> http://www.x2go.org/index.php?id=72
[23:20] <DasEi> Yhapster: I'd rather use pendrivelinux to get a full install on the usb, so that can also be accessed via live cd or other in cases like this
[23:21] <Yhapster> DasEi: well, i was able to install programs and have them persist
[23:21] <Yhapster> DasEi: i went this route to be able to use the free space like a regular flash drive to copy files
[23:21] <ruge> Ahh! My DVDs arent playing with VLC player!
[23:21] <koltroll> Hey people. When I tried out the live  cd I could connect to my WPA2 network. But after install it doesn't work. It just says "wrong password". Any ideas on what I can do?
[23:22] <Cress> maybe put in the right password?
[23:22] <DasEi> Yhapster: you can alsways use gparted to have filespace for that purpose
[23:22] <Cress> Seven_Six_Two: I'm taking a look now
[23:23] <Yhapster> DasEi: thats not much different than my current approach
[23:23] <koltroll> Cress, of course I'm putting in the right password.
[23:23] <Seven_Six_Two> cool, I'm still here
[23:23] <Akkernight> Is there a service like Peer Guardian for Ubuntu and is it even needed?
[23:23] <Yhapster> DasEi: and doesnt explan why it works on some machines and not others
[23:23] <Cress> koltroll: I was kidding
[23:24] <|Robert|> i try to add a new taskbar and now its freeze all, i can't access is... how can i remove it ?
[23:24] <Cress> koltroll: All I can say is remove the WPA protection?
[23:24] <bastid_raZor> !panels | |Robert|
[23:24] <Cress> Then try it
[23:25] <mr_mustard> I installed a new HD in my machine... is there a way to make ubuntu mount all partitions at startup without messing around with /etc/fstab?
[23:25] <koltroll> Cress, yea well... maybe that's the way to go
[23:25] <Cress> Seven_Six_Two: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ScanningHowTo This isn't a driver, Or really anything but it might hold you over, or be of some use while I look
[23:25] <DasEi> Yhapster: it is much difference, to have a common install or any special approach in a situation like this, apart from that, I saw this from time to time, that a stick boots on certain machines, on otheres not, but it least came to grub there, and reinstalling grub on that particular machine then did the trick
[23:25] <Cress> koltroll: I'm not saying remove it for good, Turn it off and see if you get same error
[23:25] <Cress> koltroll: then let me know
[23:26] <|Robert|> ubottu huh thanks a lot... u save my life
[23:26] <Yhapster> DasEi: i've reinstalled grub many times, it's not the issue here. this has got me really stumped.
[23:26] <koltroll> Cress, oh I know it works if I turn it off
[23:26] <koltroll> Cress, it's just the wpa2-thing it has problems with
[23:26] <Cress> koltroll: Try maybe setting up a wep key
[23:27] <Cress> or some other means of protection, If some E-terrorists are out to get you, but if not I wouldn't worry about it I ran my network a few months back w/o any kind of passwords for years on end
[23:28] <DasEi> Yhapster: have you got another usb around ? justa stick with least 1 GB ? could try to install on that 'sticky box then
[23:28] <Yhapster> ok i'm gonna try a different way
[23:28] <koltroll> Cress, well it's not that I can't access internet, it's just that I think I should be able to connect to wpa2-protected networks
[23:28] <Purpley> A video I downloaded has sort of a blue filter on it, is there a movie player that has filters on it to counteract this sort of thing?
[23:28] <Yhapster> DasEi: i had this issue already with a diff key. it's something wrong with the instructions
[23:29] <Cress> Ouch, Seven_Six_two
[23:29] <DasEi> Yhapster: you could then just unplug all other drives and install via cd directly to the usb
[23:29] <Cress> Photosmart S20 (C5101A)  USB  0x03f0/0x0102  Unsupported
[23:29] <CharbeL> why i can connect to yahoo by empathy ?
[23:29] <CharbeL> can't*
[23:29] <Purpley> nvm smplayer has em
[23:31] <Seven_Six_Two> Cress, no luck? I already knew it wasn't supported by sane, that's why I'm looking for the uscanner driver
[23:31] <dsnyders> !visor
[23:31] <Cress> No luck so far
[23:31] <ian|> hi!
[23:31] <dsnyders> !palm
[23:31] <Cress> Only thing I found mentioning it was it's unsupported
[23:32] <pdonor> szépjóestétmindenkinek
[23:32] <nvictor> hello all
[23:32] <nvictor> what would be the equivalent of /dev/null on windows?
[23:32] <ian|> How the linux-backport-modules are built? Is there a way to build an own ubuntu kernel (2.6.31-20) from source with the latest backported modules?
[23:32] <bazhang> !hu | pdonor
[23:33] <saurion> hello! I've removed "quiet splash" from /etc/default/grub   and rebooted my computer. Now it shows some lines and then the screen goes dark (normally, I need to enter a password to decrypt the HDD).
[23:33] <dsnyders> nvictor, I don't think windows has an equivalent.
[23:33] <saurion> How can I boot my computer now?
[23:33] <nvictor> hmm
[23:33] <pdonor> oh tanx
[23:33] <Cress> saurion, got anything important on it?
[23:33] <Random832> saurion, what do the lines say?
[23:33] <dsnyders> nvictor, what are you trying to do?
[23:33] <nvictor> well
[23:34] <saurion> Cress, yes
[23:34] <Cress> Random: I think saurion means lines as in actual lines, not lines of text :p
[23:34] <nvictor> dsnyders: translate some lines containing file names '/dev/null'
[23:34] <Random832> i don't think editing /etc/default/grub actually does anything unless you run update-grub
[23:34] <saurion> Cress, no lines of text :) just what you see without "quiet splash"
[23:34] <Cress> saurion try booting in recovery, I'm not sure what to tell you since I haven't ever had a problem where I couldn't save my stuff, I was gonna recommend a format which would be the easiest thing to do
[23:34] <mikelifeguard> How can I change how long the passphrase for my GPG/GnuPG key is cached? My SSH keys have it cached for the whole session, I'd like the same for this
[23:34] <Cress> Oh
[23:35] <Random832> saurion, can you boot in single user mode (aka "recovery mode")?
[23:35] <Cress> You mean you can still use your computer?
[23:35] <dsnyders> nvictor, you're translating a shell script or something?
[23:35] <nvictor> dsnyders: python script
[23:35] <StopSign> anyways to get quickbooks 2010 with wine at this point?
[23:36] <saurion> Random832, then the same happens. OH I forgot to mention that I also edited the GFXmode option (800x600), and removed quiet splash (and then rebooted after update-grub)
[23:36] <Cress> saurion, What exactly happens?
[23:36]  * SnowmanX11 is back (gone 02:04:38)
[23:36] <Cress> Could you get in to back up all ur important stuff?
[23:37] <dsnyders> nvictor, windows has a device called NUL:
[23:37] <Cress> I'm sorry my knowledge is limited, I can only suggest reinstalling
[23:37] <Cress> Wish I could be more help
[23:37] <Purpley> A video I downloaded has sort of a blue filter on it, is there a movie player that has filters on it to counteract this sort of thing? like red green and blue?
[23:37] <Cress> Anyone good with internal modems?
[23:38] <Cress> Purpley
[23:38] <nvictor> dsnyders: i saw that, seems like it can't be read from or something
[23:38] <saurion> Cress, alright. pressing SHIFT gets me to GNU GRUB menu, where I can select from different kernels and a memory test. "press enter to boot the selected OS, 'e' to edit the commands before booting ...". Can't I put in "quiet splash" there, by using "e" to edit the commands ?
[23:38] <ugliefrog> how do i get emearld to be the window decorator
[23:38] <Purpley> Yes?
[23:38] <ugliefrog> isnt there a icon or some thing
[23:38] <ian|> I've written a bug report (Bug #542270) for my problem, but I wonder if I can fix it myself by recompiling the kernel and the backported modules.
[23:38] <Purpley> Cress, What?
[23:38] <Cress> Go to tastyspleen.tv/q2k and download that, then patch it for linux, and go to q2servers.com to find an ip, Go there, Type record. Let it go for a few seconds then disconnect
[23:39] <dsnyders> Purpley, I would imagine mplayer could do this.  However, if the video is probably missing one of the color channels, you likely won't be able to get it back.
[23:39] <Cress> You can record it as avi, which
[23:39] <StopSign> anyways to get quickbooks 2010 with wine at this point?
[23:39] <Cress> If it comes back blue it's not ur computer, but if it comes back fine somethings not right
[23:39] <root_> hi
[23:39] <arand> Purpley: that I think is a missetting in gstreamer...
[23:39] <bazhang> StopSign, check the appdb and ask about in #winehq
[23:39] <Purpley> I tried smplayer and movie player
[23:39] <bazhang> !appdb | StopSign
[23:39] <Cress> With the same video?
[23:39] <zib_> hi
[23:39] <Purpley> Yes
[23:39] <dsnyders> nvictor, /dev/null provides an End Of File signal as soon as an attempt to read from it is made.  NUL: probably does the same thing in windows.
[23:40] <Cress> Saurion
[23:40] <Cress> I'm sorry, I don't think you can
[23:40] <saurion> Cress, yes?
[23:40] <saurion> ah ok hmmmmmmmm
[23:40] <saurion> this should not happen.
[23:40] <Cress> It's okay, Just
[23:40] <Cress> Remember for next time
[23:40] <Cress> If you don't know what's gonna happen, don't F with it
[23:41] <Cress> hmm
[23:41] <Purpley> Hmmm it says Unsupported Pixel Format -1
[23:41] <saurion> Cress, I knew what removing "quiet splash" did in a previous version of ubuntu...
[23:41] <Purpley> When i play it with mplayer
[23:41] <Purpley> any ideas?
[23:41] <Cress> no system restore discs?
[23:41] <Cress> well
[23:41] <saurion> Cress, ... it doesn't seem to do the same thing on Lucid Beta 1
[23:41] <Cress> You said you messed with something else Saurion?
[23:41] <arand> Purpley: Try going into totem>preferences>display and wiggle the balance around, and se if that does anything...
[23:42] <Purpley> arand its just the video
[23:42] <Purpley> Not my monitor
[23:42] <arand> Purpley: colour balance
[23:42] <Purpley> wait wheres totem
[23:42] <Cress> It's the ONE video you're having problems with purpley?
[23:42] <saurion> Cress, all I did was removing "quiet splash" from /etc/default/grub, and I also enabled gfxmode to 800x600, in the very same file. then i ran update-grub  and rebooted the machine.
[23:42] <Purpley> Cress, Yes
[23:42] <Cress> purpley, No others?
[23:42] <arand> Purpley: movie player in the main menu
[23:43] <Cress> Purpley, everything else works fine?
[23:43] <Purpley> Yup
[23:43] <Cress> Then it's the video
[23:43] <Purpley> its a mpg if that helps
[23:43] <Cress> There's a problem with the video
[23:43] <Cress> Is all I can say
[23:43] <CharbeL> why i can't connect to yahoo ?
[23:43] <CharbeL> it says ---> Unable to connect: Error resolving scsa.msg.yahoo.com:
[23:43] <CharbeL> No address associated with hostname
[23:43] <Cress> saurion.. um..
[23:44] <CharbeL> it says ---> Unable to connect: Error resolving >scsa.msg.yahoo.com:
[23:44] <Purpley> thanks its good now
[23:44] <dsnyders> Purpley, so totem was able to play it properly?
[23:44] <Cress> I'm sorry, Like I said my knowledge is limited, I'm just trying to help the best I can, I'm no guru
[23:44] <arand> Purpley: Colour balance was the thing?
[23:45] <mikelifeguard> trying to run seahorse-agent tells me there is another GPG agent running - how can I tell what it is so I can kill it and use seahorse?
[23:45] <saurion> Cress, how do I save, what I edited in the GRUB menu (pressed the 'e' button to enable editing) ? just ctrl+x?
[23:45] <dangerman> i have a problem with my ubuntu9.10, the screen blanks out and caps lock lit and blinks
[23:45] <zib_> yo
[23:45] <Purpley> my hue was all the way to the left all the people looked like smurfs lol
[23:45] <Cress> Saurion: My guess is just enter it and leave, I haven't had to mess with it yet
[23:45] <BugsCrash> hi ,  Somebody help me about gma 500 on ubuntu 10.0.4 (acer 751/h)
[23:46] <BugsCrash> hi ,  Somebody help me about gma 500 on ubuntu 10.0.4 (acer 751/h) please
[23:46] <Cress> BugsCrash: Tell us what the problem is?
[23:46] <zib_> does any body test ubuntu 10.04
[23:46] <zib_> ?
[23:46] <DasEi> BugsCrash: join #ubuntu+1
[23:46] <mikebeecham> hi..does anyone know of any software in Linux that can remove the DRM from my paid itunes tv shows?
[23:46] <saurion> zib_, yes.
[23:46] <bazhang> BugsCrash, #ubuntu+1 for lucid
[23:46] <BugsCrash> Tanks for all
[23:46] <DasEi> zib_: see above
[23:46] <arand> Purpley: Yea sometimes the setting go a bit whacky.. Bug in gstreamer/totem... I guess.
[23:47] <zib_> saurion_how is it ?
[23:47] <bazhang> zib_, support and discussion in #ubuntu+1
[23:47] <StopSign> is there any chan's for wine ?
[23:47] <bazhang> winehq StopSign
[23:47] <StopSign> ty
[23:47] <bazhang> err #winehq
[23:47] <Cress> Anyone good with internal modems?
[23:47] <dsnyders> Cress, what's the issue?
[23:47] <alindgr111> My Virtual Box is extremely slow. Anybody know if VMWare is faster?
[23:48] <Purpley> alindgr111, Try increasing its memory
[23:48] <bazhang> alindgr111, how much memory alloted
[23:48] <zib_> bazhang_, i don't look at support , jsut info
[23:48] <Typos_King> saurion:   ctrl-x   boots from a line, but doesn't save it, if you want it saved I'd usually do it at /boot/grub/grub.cfg   though it many here will say use /etc/defaults/grub    since whenever, I don't see it on my end, it can get changed by some process running update-grub and use that template to override grub.cfg
[23:48] <saurion> zib_, hm, the first thing you have to do is to change the order of the window controls. from left to write
[23:48] <alindgr111> 1024 mb
[23:48] <saurion> zib_, I still prefer the 9.10 over 10.4...
[23:48] <bazhang> zib_, this is the wrong channel for chat. #ubuntu-offtopic for chat, #ubuntu+1 for lucid discussion and support
[23:49] <Cress> dsnyders: Well, I had set up my modem the other night, But it gave me a constant error when I tried to connect, No carrier. It was spamming it, So I went into my wvdial.config, and changed some things, Now it doesn't detect the modem at all anymore, It's a winmodem but I had already built the drivers and had it working
[23:49] <ugliefrog> can someone tell me how i can make emerald the default windows decorator
[23:49] <erUSUL> !emerald | ugliefrog
[23:49] <bazhang> ugliefrog, emerald is no longer developed nor supported
[23:49] <saurion> Typos_King, but is it possible to add quiet splash there and boot normally?
[23:49] <zib_> saurion_ ok thank you ...  Stuff I googled diidnt work
[23:50] <alindgr111> I can increase the mem and try that
[23:50] <measme> i advise you to get vegan if you can you will have many benefits in karma and health like look much younger live longer be less agressive risk 80% less cancers and ills have just good cholesterol and no cellulitis and over all be no odor in toilet as fish meat makes defecation smell bad for instetinal putrefaction and not kill animals :)
[23:50] <soreau> ugliefrog: You can set the default decorator in ccsm>Window Decoration>Command field. If emerald is installed, it can be started with 'emerald --replace'. Obviously it will only work while compiz is running
[23:50] <Typos_King> saurion   I do it on grub.cfg and then back it up, if it gets overwritten, I can either put it back or recall my changes :)
[23:50] <Purpley> When I enable Extra effects My top bar and bottom bar disappear and a sort of shadow appears whats the deal?
[23:51] <dsnyders> Cress, I don't know anything about windmodems except "Avoid them like the plague".  However, what may have happened is that your modem has moved and /dev/modem is no longer pointing at it.
[23:51] <Cress> That's what I thought too
[23:51] <ugliefrog> soreau, i had an icon that i clicked and changed but i had to reinstall now i dont have it
[23:51] <Cress> It being a winmodem isn't the issue, I already built the driver and had it working
[23:51] <Cress> ATDT*70,8852738
[23:51] <Cress> NO CARRIER
[23:51] <Cress> ERROR
[23:51] <Cress> --> No Carrier! Trying again.
[23:51] <Cress> --> Sending: ATDT*70,8852738
[23:51] <FloodBot3> Cress: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:51] <dsnyders> Cress, You got something there.
[23:52] <Cress> Yea
[23:52] <Cress> I don't know what's causing that
[23:52] <dsnyders> Cress, have you tried dialing the number yourself?  Perhaps it is telling you no carrier because it is not reaching a modem on the other end.
[23:52] <Purpley> When I enable Extra effects My top bar and bottom bar disappear and a sort of shadow appears whats the deal?
[23:53] <Cress> I'm on it at the moment
[23:53] <Cress> dsnyders I'm using the same number on XP
[23:53] <dsnyders> Cress, where are you that you don't need a ten digit number to call somewhere?
[23:53] <Cress> Canada hehe
[23:53] <mrwizeguy1983> i have a mic problem after fixing sound on my vpcf115fm vaio, there's a thread here -- http://code.google.com/p/vaio-f11-linux/issues/detail?id=9#c1 but it doesn't have a fix for the mic, and mentions it
[23:54] <saurion> damn it! the screen is just dark. all lamps are on, as normal... wtf
[23:54] <Cress> I do need a 10 digit number to call long distance, But it's in my area
[23:56] <dsnyders> Cress, I thought all North America had switched to 10 digit dialing.  Windows puts area codes on for you.
[23:56] <Purpley> When I enable Extra effects My top bar and bottom bar disappear and a sort of shadow appears whats the deal?
[23:57] <Cress> *70,8852738 is the number
[23:57] <Cress> I have to put the * and , in it for it to work
[23:57] <HexGhost> hi, im trying to use nginx on ubuntu and im unable to get it to start using the default configuration, wondering if anyone's used this
[23:57] <Aaal3> Hello, I have a Ubuntu 9.10 computer connected to my network via a usb wireless card (wlan1), i would like to hook another ubuntu 9.10 desktop via ethernet to desktop 1, and recieve internet through it, since i do not have a wireless adapter for desktop 2.
[23:57] <HexGhost> i get "[emerg]: open() "/usr/local/nginx/off" failed (2: No such file or directory)" and i have no idea why its looking for that, no config file or the startup script references that
[23:58] <saurion> fuckin ridiculous. I added "splash quiet" and hit ctrl+x. Then it continued booting in graphics mode and I was able to enter the pass to unlock the rest of the FS.
[23:58] <dsnyders> Cress, the *70 disables call waiting, the comma waits for the dial tone to return, then the rest of the number is dialed.
[23:58] <Cress> So I should add my area code for linux?
[23:59] <saurion> first impression of lucid: a lot like windows 98.
[23:59] <mrwizeguy1983> i have a mic problem after fixing sound on my vpcf115fm vaio, there's a thread here -- http://code.google.com/p/vaio-f11-linux/issues/detail?id=9#c1 but it doesn't have a fix for the mic, and mentions it
[23:59] <dsnyders> Cress, If you don't need it manually, then you don't need it in linux.  Have you tried calling the number manually?
[23:59] <Purpley> When I enable Extra effects My top bar and bottom bar disappear and a sort of shadow appears whats the deal?
[23:59] <bastid_raZor> !lucid | saurion   .. also it is a BETA.. failure is expected
[23:59] <mrwizeguy1983> saurion, how is lucid lynx like win 98?
[23:59] <Cress> no, But It's in my area, 885
