[11:41] <norkakn> chingus:  It's fine for a laptop, not so hot for gaming.  Is this a laptop or desktop?
[11:41] <chingus> norkakn: desktop.
[11:41] <chingus> norkakn: I wanted it for Beryl and ubuntu effects.
[11:41] <Terry> UBestB: in same computer its very easy, i think?
[11:41] <BlackFate> Chiliblue, in frond of lspci line there are some number right?
[11:42] <UBestB> same computer no changes are necessary, just Windows will detect the larger drive and fix that
[11:42] <norkakn> chingus: try it out, I have integrated graphics on my laptop, and I'm still able to run a bit of the eye candy.  If it isn't fast enough for you, you could pick up a few year old graphics card for really cheap
[11:42] <Terry> UBestB: and in vista it is complicated or easy like xp
[11:42] <Terry> UBestB: and in vista it is complicated or easy like xp?
[11:42] <UBestB> should be the same
[11:42] <chingus> norkakn: I am planning on buying a good graphics card, does this look good? Powercolor ATi Radeon HD3450 512MB AGP Display Card: AGP x8, 64-bit GDDR2, VGA+DVI+S-Video Ou
[11:42] <BlackFate> Chiliblue, mine is  01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 9500 GT (rev a1)
[11:42] <BlackFate> Chiliblue, mine is  01:00.0
[11:42] <BlackFate> chingus,
[11:43] <BlackFate> chingus, give me the number from lspci
[11:43] <BlackFate> chingus, for example 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 9500 GT (rev a1)
[11:43] <chingus> BlackFate: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
[11:43] <BlackFate> chingus, there is a number in front of this line?
[11:43] <Terry> UBestB: is there any software like ghost in ubuntu, for making drive image and use it later?
[11:44] <coz_> Terry, yeah there are hold on
[11:44] <chingus> BlackFate, 00:02.0
[11:44] <userone> all the files in /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1 are empty. how am I supposed to use these files to check the battery is being detected and working?
[11:44] <BlackFate> chingus, lspci -v -s 00:02.0
[11:44] <BlackFate> chingus, and you ll get all the info you need
[11:45] <coz_> Terry,  http://www.junauza.com/2009/01/7-best-freeopen-source-backup-software.html
[11:45] <userone> Blackfate: do you know how i can get info on my laptop battery?
[11:45] <chingus> BlackFate, for games and "ubuntu eyecandy" does this card look good? Powercolor ATi Radeon HD3450 512MB AGP Display Card: AGP x8, 64-bit GDDR2, VGA+DVI+S-Video Out
[11:45] <Terry> UBestB: i have usb startup usb drive, can i add password on that?
[11:45] <Philpax> Hi
[11:45] <UBestB> Terry, there is G4L
[11:45] <chingus> norkakn, the desktop effects don't work at all...
[11:46] <BlackFate> chingus, im not big fan of ati, you get flickering problems
[11:46] <UBestB> you mean like password protect it?
[11:46] <maxagaz> how to check which application use which port of the network ?
[11:46] <norkakn> BlackFate: all the flickering problems are generally solvable (4850 here)
[11:46] <chingus> BlackFate, I don't have much choice, my computer only handles AGP...
[11:46] <coz_> userone,  try here   http://embraceubuntu.com/2007/04/08/getting-details-about-my-laptop-battery-and-taking-care-of-it/
[11:46] <BlackFate> userone, cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info
[11:47] <chingus> norkakn, so if I install the Powercolor ATi Radeon HD3450 512MB AGP Display Card: AGP x8, 64-bit GDDR2, VGA+DVI+S-Video Out it is better than the integrated chipset I have now?
[11:47] <BlackFate> norkakn, x11 is not always a good solution
[11:47] <Philpax> Hi
[11:47] <Notch-1> hi all, i can't found a solution to this: i have a 2.6.28-15-generic kernel and after recompilig (using the same .config file) i get <IP_ADDRESS>-generic, so i can't use backports and restricted anymnore, what can i do?
[11:47] <userone> BlackFate: I tried that but does files are empty
[11:47] <userone> coz_:thanks..let me look at that link
[11:47] <coz_> userone,   also here   http://blog.cybermogi.net/2009/09/check-your-laptop-battery-status-from-the-terminal/
[11:48] <chingus> Notch-1, sudo apt-get update then upgrade I think.
[11:48] <BlackFate> userone, in general check inside /proc/acpi/battery
[11:49] <norkakn> chingus: yeah, that would work, probably almost any would work.  You should check with the product that you want to install and see what their system requirements are
[11:49] <Burning_aces> hi there, i was wondering if there is a way to move a terminal file to /usr/bin
[11:49] <norkakn> BlackFate:  You are referring to the video playback stuff?
[11:49] <chingus> norkakn, sweet thanks.
[11:49] <Philpax1> Hi
[11:49] <chingus> Well thanks all /quit
[11:49] <BlackFate> norkakn, y
[11:50] <BlackFate> Burning_aces, you can with sudo, but not recommended... you can make a bin folder to your home dir
[11:50] <BlackFate> Burning_aces, and execute globally your scripts from the specific user
[11:50] <Burning_aces> BlackFate: its the cowpatty executable
[11:50] <Burning_aces> i prefer it in the /usr/bin directory so i dont have to cd to that directory if i want to run it
[11:50] <Philpax1> I'm having a problem with GRUB2. Now that I have it installed, I can no longer boot into Windows Vista. I know it is specific to GRUB2 because I had it chainloaded with Legacy before, and I could boot into Vista using Legacy's entry.
[11:51] <BlackFate> Burning_aces, if you put it inside ~/bin you wont have to cd
[11:51] <Burning_aces> ok
[11:51] <BlackFate> Burning_aces, its like /usr/bin but for only this user
[11:51] <Burning_aces> can i copy straight to that or do i need a command of some sort?
[11:51] <silare> Are there any good music notation softwares for GNOME/GTK?
[11:52] <BlackFate> Burning_aces, you can copy it or you can link it
[11:52] <Burning_aces> what is the command
[11:52] <gallbladder> can anyone tell me how I can get encrypted super-OS?
[11:52] <Burning_aces> im guessing you cant drag and drop
[11:52] <Philpax1> Can anyone help me with my GRUB2 problem?
[11:53] <BlackFate> Burning_aces, first mkdir ~/bin
[11:53] <BlackFate> Burning_aces, then copy youfile ~/bin
[11:53] <wern> gparted is fialign to read my partitions correctly
[11:53] <norkakn> silar: there are many, many, many music related things.  It all depends on what you want.  Check out rosegarden and lilypond
[11:53] <BlackFate> Burning_aces, cp /dir/file ~/bin
[11:53] <wern> i have 2 ntfs partitions for windows, OS and Data, but its reading them as fat32
[11:53] <wern> and as incorrect sizes
[11:53] <wern> but they still mount and i can browse them
[11:54] <BlackFate> wern, how do you mount em?
[11:54] <wern> mount -ntfs /dev/sda2 /data
[11:54] <BlackFate> na
[11:54] <wern> im trying to use 20gb of unallocated space to create an ext3 partition to install ubuntu on
[11:54] <wern> but it wont let me do that either.
[11:54] <wern> its reading everything completely wrong.
[11:54] <BlackFate> wern, sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
[11:54] <wern> i have that.
[11:55] <wern> im doing this from the life cd.
[11:55] <BlackFate> wern, then  mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /data
[11:55] <wern> ..
[11:55] <wern> its mounting perfectly fine
[11:55] <wern> its gparted that cannot see them correct.
[11:55] <wern> ly
[11:55] <FloodBot2> wern: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:55] <Burning_aces> BlackFate: mitch@ubuntu:~$ cp /home/mitch/cowpatty-4.3/cowpatty ~/bin
[11:55] <Burning_aces> mitch@ubuntu:~$ cowpatty
[11:55] <Burning_aces> bash: cowpatty: command not found
[11:55] <silare> norkakn: Are they qt or gtk?
[11:55] <BlackFate> Burning_aces, damn.. there is problem.. you need to set the path.. never mid..
[11:55] <BlackFate> Burning_aces, sudo su
[11:56] <wern> basically
[11:56] <BlackFate> Burning_aces, and then   cp /home/mitch/cowpatty-4.3/cowpatty /usr/bin
[11:56] <wern> live cd and the install cant read the drive correctly.
[11:56] <Philpax1> Is there an IRC channel dedicated to GRUB?
[11:56] <wern> 20gb of unformatted space is being read as 30, my 20gb OS drive is being read as 100mb
[11:56] <BlackFate> phillies_fan, #grub
[11:56] <Burning_aces> BlackFate: thank you
[11:56] <wern> all wacky, but windows reads and can use them perfectly
[11:56] <BlackFate> Burning_aces, dont forget to clean up ~/bin
[11:57] <BlackFate> Burning_aces, rm -rf ~/bin
[11:57] <Burning_aces> BlackFate: why?
[11:57] <BlackFate> Burning_aces, you dont need it :P
[11:57] <Burning_aces> ah i see
[11:57] <Burning_aces> done
[11:57] <Burning_aces> thanks again BlackFate
[11:57] <BlackFate> Burning_aces, np
[11:58] <DJones> Philpax1: You could ask in #ubuntu+1 about grub2, I think the development version of ubuntu uses grub2 so they may be able to help, although they may just refer you to the grub channel
[11:58] <wern> i cant really think of what to do next.
[11:59] <BlackDalek> I have problem with pulse audio stuttering during playback of audio files
[11:59] <norkakn> silare: lilypond, I don't think either, but I'm not sure, rg: qt
[11:59] <silare> norkakn: It's its own thing? o.O
[12:00] <BlackDalek> I have problem with pulse audio stuttering during playback of audio files. How can I fix this?
[12:00] <norkakn> silare: denemo looks like a gtk front end for it
[12:00] <luist> hey... i had replaced metacity to emerald but after i restarted my window borders are metacity again.... how can i make the changes permanent?
[12:00] <silare> Oh, okay. For Lilypond?
[12:01] <silare> norkakn: (above) Sorry, I forgot to tag your name earlier.
[12:01] <whateversam> Is anyone here familiar with running a server inside a virtual environment?  Specifically with getting a server to listen on x port and getting that port to forward from WAN side to the virtual LAN.
[12:01] <p2rn4> anyone know how could I lock my keyboard in ubuntu (jaunty) for 5 min?
[12:01] <norkakn> silare: RAM is cheap though, why do you want to only use GTK?
[12:02] <UBestB> p2rn4: what do you mean by lock keyboard?
[12:02] <BlackFate> p2rn4, locking your screen?:P is an option?
[12:02] <p2rn4> well
[12:02] <silare> norkakn: I just prefer it. I can use either, really. And I have enoguh RAM that it isn't much a problem.
[12:02] <Burning_aces> is there a way to make a script to iwlist scan wlan0
[12:02] <glickity> hey is anyone running ubuntu on a eee pc
[12:02] <Burning_aces> iwlist wlan0 scan sorry
[12:02] <silare> norkakn: I used to be a big KDE user, though I've slowly turned to GNOME, and I've come to like GTK...
[12:02] <serendipity> can any one guide me how to connect to internet using ubuntu 8.04
[12:02] <BlackDalek> audio playback in Rhythmbox went bad after upgrade to 9.04
[12:02] <joaopinto> whateversam, that depends on the virtualization tecnhology that you are using
[12:02] <p2rn4> I┬┤m trying to create a bash script which after every 7200 seconds turns off screen and keyboard for 5 min.
[12:02] <Burning_aces> is there a way to make a script for that
[12:02] <glickity> was wondering if anyone has had an issue of the eeepc turning off unexpectantly
[12:02] <p2rn4> so people would actually rest their eyes for 5 min
[12:03] <UBestB> p2rn4 it's possible
[12:03] <norkakn> silare: if you are more of a wysiwyg person, there is MuseScore, but it is also QT
[12:03] <p2rn4> yea, but I┬┤m all out of ideas how to
[12:03] <p2rn4> I have timer already
[12:03] <p2rn4> and I know how to shut down monitor succesfully
[12:04] <p2rn4> but keyboard...
[12:04] <jrib> p2rn4: why do you want to turn off the keyboard out of curiousity?
[12:04] <whateversam> joaopinto, well, I have been using virtual box.  I have read the documentation on it, and I believe it is correctly configured.  However, I still have not been able to get even a LAN connection to the virtual machine.  I am able to connect the VM to anything on my LAN and even bring up WAN connections.  I have yet to figure out how to get a computer to connect to the VM.
[12:04] <wern> df -h shows the partitions and their correct sizes
[12:04] <UBestB> there's a perl script you could modify
[12:04] <wern> but gparted is still failboating
[12:04] <serendipity> Hello room... is this ubuntu support room? can some one help me
[12:04] <jrib> !ask | serendipity
[12:04] <UBestB> it's called lock keyboard for baby
[12:04] <silare> norkakn: Alright. I'll look into all three then. THanks.
[12:04] <n3f> hi everyone
[12:05] <UBestB> works differently, as in you need to type a certain word for it to unlock, however, you could just create a timer for it
[12:05] <p2rn4> hmm
[12:05] <p2rn4> could u send link in pm please?
[12:06] <DJones> p2rn4: For the keyboard, have you looked at keyboard preferences and the Typeing Break setting, tick the box Lock screen to enforce typing break" and then set work interval and break interval
[12:06] <whateversam> joaopinto, do you have experience with virtual servers?  If so what has been your preferred software for it?
[12:06] <BlackDalek> If I play music through totem movie player, it plays fine, but if I play using Rhythmbox I get stuttering, skipping, crackling audio.... why?
[12:06] <n3f> I got a problem with my ubuntu 8.04.. The default domain where my machine is located is at Workspace domain. Now how do I change that to another domain?
[12:07] <UBestB> p2rn4: http://www.pastebin.org/18464
[12:07] <p2rn4> hmm actually I havent tried it DJones
[12:07] <jaspion_me> join #asterisk-br
[12:07] <elky> serendipity, you don't need to ask permission to ask a question.
[12:08] <DJones> p2rn4: Its sounds like it'd do pretty much what you want for Gnome anyway, I would guess theres a similar option for kde as well
[12:08] <UBestB> that typing break sounds better than the script
[12:08] <wern> i have made some progress i guess.
[12:08] <wern> does anyone mind if i explain my predicament again
[12:09] <p2rn4> it kinda does, but surely there are cli commadnds for this, right?
[12:09] <m477> i try : "sudo mount -o loop  master.dat /media/cdrom" and i got "mount: you must specify the filesystem type"
[12:09] <m477> can anyone help
[12:09] <wern> -t something.
[12:10] <m477> ?
[12:10] <wern> -t specifies type

[12:12] <joaopinto> whateversam, I have some experience with vmware
[12:13] <whateversam> joaopinto, have you been able to get a server running in it?  I have tried most of the free ones, and I have used VMware in the past, but I have not used it for running a server.

[12:14] <andrey__> hello everybody, i need a help with my builtin webcam in Lenovo 3000 n100, i cant install it , i have ubuntu 9.04
[12:14] <joaopinto> whateversam, I did, without any issues
[12:14] <p2rn4> laptop or usb, doesn matter, information one way or another is always useful
[12:15] <wern> virtualbox is nice
[12:15] <wern> fyi
[12:15] <friendishan> !help
[12:15] <whateversam> joaopinto, did you have any problems with opening ports to the server that your host machine may be using?
[12:15] <friendishan> how to apply this command rm ~/.mozilla/firefox/*/places.sql* ?
[12:16] <joaopinto> whateversam, no,
[12:16] <andrey__> webcam in Lenovo 3000 n100, i cant install it , i have ubuntu 9.04
[12:16] <joaopinto> whateversam, you just need to understanding on how the different network configuration schemes work, NAT, Bridged, etc
[12:16] <whateversam> wern, VB is nice, I'm using it right now, but it is not allowing me to do what I need.  I've read the documentation on networking with VB, but it still does not work.  If I knew why I could prolly fix it, but I haven't seen the reason.
[12:16] <friendishan> help me please
[12:16] <friendishan> how to apply this command rm ~/.mozilla/firefox/*/places.sql* ?
[12:16] <wern> yeah its port forwarding is a little sketchy
[12:17] <joaopinto> friendishan, just open a terminal and execute it, but be careful, you need to understand it's purpose
[12:17] <andrey__> friendishan what do u mean how to apply it ? you have to open terminal window and rewrite it there
[12:17] <joaopinto> whateversam, if you can't figure how to setup networking with VB, changing to VMWare will not help
[12:18] <wern> it might, its completely different.
[12:18] <andrey__> applications -> accessouries -> terminal
[12:18] <wern> and last i checked, a fair bit easier
[12:18] <optimus_p> where i ll get the object file for library maths or source code, on machine?
[12:18] <friendishan> joaopinto: anrey__ : i did but nothing happened is the command (rm ~/.mozilla/firefox/*/places.sql*) correct or is there something to be added ?
[12:18] <andrey__> how to isntall webcam in Lenovo 3000 n100, i cant install it , i have ubuntu 9.04
[12:19] <joaopinto> friendishan, nothing is expected to be printed, you are just removing files
[12:19] <andrey__> friendishan, rm - it's a delete command
[12:19] <whateversam> joaopinto, I have a good idea of how computer systems work.  I can get the VM to connect to the internet, but I don't seem to be able to get the right port open to the VM.  With VB you get only the command prompt to work with when making port changes.  It's possible that I mis-configured, but I am not getting any replys on ports that should be open by default.  (port 80 for example)
[12:19] <andrey__> i think nothing should be reported
[12:19] <friendishan> ok thanks^^
[12:20] <andrey__> webcam in Lenovo 3000 n100, i cant install it , i have ubuntu 9.04

[12:22] <luiX_> hi, i'm having problems with xen, anyone can help?
[12:22] <ActionParsnip> luiX_: can you expand
[12:22] <luist> i installed an icon package but firefox icon wasnt change in avant-window-navigator, unlike all others... why is that??
[12:23] <luiX_> ActionParsnip, I had xen running, but since i rebooted it isn't working. The problem is that the network birdge doesn't exist anymore and I don't know how to solve it
[12:23] <ActionParsnip> luist: maybe awn needs restarting
[12:24] <whateversam> joaopinto, if I've bridged by connection then the virtual machine will be connected directly to my NIC.  This allows it to filter it's traffic off of my host machine to the virtual one.  This should also mean that both OSs are using the same IP as far as my LAN is concerned.  If all of this is true, and I do not have any firewalls enabled on my LAN or the host OS, and the host is not using the port in question, then the conne
[12:24] <ActionParsnip> luiX_: i dont use it myself but hopefully someone can now help
[12:24] <Burning_aces> BlackFate: do you know how to make a terminal script that can be placed on desktop that does iwlist wlan0 scan
[12:24] <luist> ActionParsnip: restarting the computer should have worked then... and all the icons changed in AWN but not few ones
[12:24] <joaopinto> whateversam, that is correct and should work
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> luist: try manually editting the icon
[12:25] <whateversam> joaopinto, oh how annoying that it's not, huh?  lol.  I think I'll bug the virtualbox IRCers about this one.  Thanks for your help.

[12:32] <ActionParsnip> alin_badila: usually, that is right
[12:32] <ideasman_42> ActionParsnip, cant it be removed from the database manually?

[12:45] <sander> when i execute sander@sander-laptop$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall python2.6
[12:46] <azlon> can i modify /etc/network/interfaces to allow me to access the internet from a connection other than eth0?
[12:46] <dos|equis> but in my desktop the resolution is 1152 x 768
[12:46] <sander> it fails at: /var/lib/dpkg/info/python2.6.postinst: 11: python2.6: not found
[12:46] <rsv> i installed that software and whenever i click my drive ; it says do you want to format it
[12:46] <GobiTheGoblin> Have you guys used that "Ubuntu on"? Any experiences: Good/bad?
[12:46] <GobiTheGoblin> Have you guys used that "Ubuntu one"? Any experiences: Good/bad?
[12:46] <rsv> so i came here

[12:47] <GobiTheGoblin> dos|equis: What graphic card?
[12:48] <dos|equis> GobiTheGoblin : NVIDIA
[12:48] <dos|equis> GobiTheGoblin : I guess I already have a driver
[12:48] <dos|equis> GobiTheGoblin : But I'm not sure with that

[12:49]  * nathan7 wonders who the hell mitnick is
[12:49] <indus> hi
[12:49] <GobiTheGoblin> dos|equis: I had similar problems, with it. Try the original resolution changer. If I remember correctly, the problem went away with that. It is not a perfect solution, but it did the trick
[12:49] <Sagaci> !hi | indus
[12:49] <indus> thanks
[12:49] <eni23> hello everyone. i'v got a question. someone i know created a little cool programm called vsxu. it also works great with linux, but it's not in the repo. now i've created a debian-package. what i have to do for get it in to it?
[12:49] <indus> Sagaci: hello
[12:49] <GobiTheGoblin> dos|equis: But use caution... I can't reproduce that I don't now have 9.04 in handy
[12:50] <indus> eni23: you need to contact the MOTU team
[12:50] <indus> !motu
[12:50] <eni23> ’╗┐indus: thanks!
[12:50] <GobiTheGoblin> dos|equis: So if you run to problems, I cant help
[12:50] <indus> eni23: they have an irc room i believe, btw what is this cool software
[12:50] <sander> what can i try to reinstall python2.6 when $sudo apt-get install --reinstall python2.6 fails
[12:50] <mitnick> nathan7: keep spirit on linux ubuntu, god bless you.
[12:51] <ActionParsnip> sander: what is the output
[12:51] <ActionParsnip> !info python2.6
[12:51] <DJones> eni23: I think the motu channel is #ubuntu-motu thats probably a good place to ask the question
[12:51] <Sagaci> !info non-free-codecs
[12:52] <ActionParsnip> !codecs
[12:52] <sander> ActionParsnip: the output is: /var/lib/dpkg/info/python2.6.postinst: 11: python2.6: not found
[12:52] <Sagaci> !info ubuntu-restricted-extras
[12:52] <dos|equis> GobiTheGoblin : My only problem is that my login screen runs in 1152 x 864. After the login screen, the screen resolution changes to 1152 x 768.
[12:52] <podman99> hey all ... im able to use fsck.mdraid ... says its not installed ... which packages includes this? cant find it in google
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> sander: what is the output of: file /var/lib/dpkg/info/python2.6.postinst
[12:53] <azlon> bah! i cant get my ppp connection to work when eth0 is enabled!
[12:53] <nathan7> podman99: mdraid isn't a filesystem I think.
[12:53] <GobiTheGoblin> dos|equis: Do you have nvidias x server settings in system -> preferences?
[12:54] <nathan7> podman99: ANd there's no package containing an fsck for it
[12:54] <dos|equis> GobiTheGoblin : W8, I'm gonna check it.
[12:54] <nathan7> podman99: Fsck==FileSystem ChecK
[12:54] <podman99> how can i fsck a type fd (fdisk)
[12:54] <podman99> or a disk check?
[12:54] <sander> ActionParsnip: sander@sander-laptop:~$ file /var/lib/dpkg/info/python2.6.postinst

[12:54] <Socrates_> hey all
[12:54] <Socrates_>  wsup
[12:54] <Sagaci> !hi | Socrates_
[12:55] <dos|equis> GobiTheGoblin : Nope. I can't see any.
[12:55] <Socrates_> can anyone help me
[12:55] <sander> ActionParsnip: it seems to me that apt-get has a dependency on python itself....
[12:55] <nathan7> sander: Apt-get is perl.
[12:55] <glickity> is there a easy way to do a bios update in ubuntu?
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> sander: you may find you need to edit that file to make the postinst run
[12:55] <nathan7> glickity: Usually you get the DOS update util, and make a FreeDOS disk.
[12:56] <GobiTheGoblin> dos|equis: Have you installed nVidias proprietary drivers from restricted drivers?
[12:56] <glickity> nathan7, im on a eeepc
[12:56] <sander> nathan7: ok
[12:56] <nathan7> glickity: You can get a utility from Dell to do the DOS disk thing automatically
[12:56] <nathan7> glickity: Hmm
[12:56] <Socrates_> just installed sidux on my machine ...and only gettting a grub menu
[12:56] <sander> ActionParsnip: i'll try to find where the error occurs
[12:56] <nathan7> Socrates_: #ubunu, not #sidux in here.
[12:56] <Socrates_> i have ubantu installed on it as well
[12:56] <ActionParsnip> sander: you may find there is an if...fi statement you can edit out
[12:56] <nathan7> Socrates_: #ubuntu, not #ubantu.
[12:56] <dos|equis> GobiTheGoblin : How can I check that?
[12:56] <nathan7> glickity: You can put it on a USB stick
[12:56] <Socrates_> yes that one
[12:57] <nathan7> glickity: I can't test it, I lost my EEE charger
[12:57] <sander> ActionParnip: the postinstall says: python2.6 /usr/lib/python2.6/py_compile.py $files
[12:57] <nathan7> sander: That's normal.
[12:57] <ActionParsnip> sander: hmmm, interesting
[12:57] <Socrates_> j need to switch to ubuntu but it wont go there.
[12:57] <sander> ActionParsnip: but the python2.6 is not yet installed
[12:57] <Socrates_> just gettng a grub menu
[12:57] <nathan7> Socrates_: Sidux broke it.
[12:57] <Socrates_> noooooooooooooooooooooooo
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> sander: I've had packages bork on postinst files and had to edit the file so it does not checking
[12:58] <nathan7> Socrates_: So go to #sidux or something, and ask *THEM* how to unbreak what they broke
[12:58] <sander> nathan7: however i try to reinstall python2.6
[12:58] <cheater> hey guys, how can i run gnome-terminal so that the console pwd is a path i specify?
[12:58] <madmayr> whats the name of this tune?
[12:58] <GobiTheGoblin> dos|equis: Ok, this is taking a wrong turn..  you have to ask these other nice people to help, because as I said, I don't have 9.04 in use right now... I might give you bad advice.
[12:58] <nathan7> what tune
[12:58] <cheater> i've made a keyboard shortcut for gnome-terminal but it starts out at /, and i want it to start out at ~
[12:58] <nathan7> Hmm, strange.
[12:58] <userone> coz_: no worries..
[12:59] <madmayr> from whom is this remix?
[12:59] <nathan7> cheater: echo '[ "$(pwd)" = "/" ]&&cd ~'>>~/.bashrc
[12:59] <dos|equis> GobiTheGoblin : I'm still using 8.04
[12:59] <nathan7> madmayr: This is #ubuntu.
[12:59] <Deiu> Hello!
[12:59] <sander> nathan7: somehow the /usr/bin/python2.6 is never installed
[12:59] <ActionParsnip> sander: you could download the deb and force-all install it
[12:59] <nathan7> sander: Strange.
[12:59] <nathan7> sander: Very strange.
[12:59] <Deiu> Why isn't 2.6.30 suggested as update?
[12:59] <Deiu> It's been out for ages.
[12:59] <nathan7> sander: As ActionParsnip says, get the deb.
[12:59] <sander> ActionParsnip: ok i will try that!
[13:00] <nathan7> Linux lion 2.6.31-6-generic #25-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 14 16:25:04 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

[13:00] <azlon1> i cant get my ppp connection to work when eth0 is enabled!
[13:00] <nathan7> I'm on 9.10
[13:00] <sander> thanks ActionParsnip and nathan7!
[13:00] <FloodBot2> nathan7: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:00]  * nathan7 stabs FloodBot2
[13:00] <nathan7> ...why can't those floodbots die in a big datacenter fire
[13:00] <Pici> nathan7: Perhaps you should stop flooding and they wouldnt annoy you.
[13:00] <ActionParsnip> nathan7: stops floods on the channel
[13:00] <Pici> !latest | Deiu
[13:01] <Deiu> 2.6.31 is latest ;)
[13:01] <GobiTheGoblin> dos|equis: I think the problem lies now with some wrongly given value in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[13:01] <nathan7> ActionParsnip: Even though I live in Holland, I'm not that dumb to not get that.
[13:01] <Deiu> Not to mention that it has been released as "stable"
[13:01] <ActionParsnip> nathan7: ask a silly question
[13:01] <dos|equis> GobiTheGoblin : What shall I do with this?
[13:01] <nathan7> ActionParsnip: Impossible ;)
[13:01] <ActionParsnip> :D
[13:01] <nathan7> Although the person asking it *can* be stupid
[13:01] <GobiTheGoblin> dos|equis: But in your situation, I would suggest to upgrade to 9.04 it is much easier to use
[13:02] <dos|equis> GobiTheGoblin : Ok... Thanks.
[13:02] <nathan7> Why does apelW's IP seem scarily familiar
[13:02] <GobiTheGoblin> dos|equis: Do you know how to upgrade?
[13:02] <nathan7> oh right
[13:02] <nathan7> My granddad's IP is 62. too
[13:02] <dos|equis> Yes.
[13:02] <dos|equis> GobiTheGoblin : Yes
[13:03] <dos|equis> GobiTheGoblin : But I don't to have time to upgrade my system yet.
[13:03] <GobiTheGoblin> dos|equis: k. Btw: it is muuuuuch faster too
[13:03] <dos|equis> GobiTheGoblin : 9.04?
[13:03] <azlon1> how do i make ppp0 access the internet instead of eth0?
[13:03] <GobiTheGoblin> dos|equis: Yea. Boot time is like 1/3 of the old one
[13:03] <nathan7> 9.04 is speedy.
[13:03] <dos|equis> GobiTheGoblin : I need to upgrade from 8.10 before I can get to 9.04
[13:03] <nathan7> 9.10 even more so.
[13:03]  * nathan7 is loving 9.10
[13:04] <GobiTheGoblin> dos|equis: Not sure, I don't think so
[13:04] <dos|equis> GobiTheGoblin : Can I skip the upgrade process?
[13:04] <nathan7> dos|equis: You can upgrade from any version.
[13:04] <indus> dos|equis: nope,
[13:04] <GobiTheGoblin> nathan7, It's good when its working =) dev versions have their clinches....
[13:04] <indus> dos|equis: no skipping hopping, you need to go through each version
[13:05] <Deiu> Is there a ubuntu repository dedicated to kernel only?
[13:05] <GobiTheGoblin> dos|equis: well if it suggest first to upgrade to 8.10 then I guess it would be best to do it that way...
[13:05] <indus> dos|equis: or use a cd and updgrade, in fact if u have an alternate cd, you can upgrade from cd
[13:05] <dos|equis> GobiTheGoblin : Yeah, I know.
[13:05] <nathan7> GobiTheGoblin: True.
[13:05] <nathan7> GobiTheGoblin: But I have the latest stuff.
[13:05]  * nathan7 likes that
[13:05] <GobiTheGoblin> dos|equis: Clean install is a option too, but remember that it format your HD too, so any documents etc needs to be sabed
[13:05] <nathan7> GobiTheGoblin: I'm always ahead of the crowd
[13:05] <zxd> are you fscking kidding me ?? shiretoko web browser ??? and then they wonder why geeks get alienated
[13:06]  * nathan7 loves FF 3.7
[13:06] <nathan7> zxd: That's firefox 3.5.
[13:06] <zxd> YE!
[13:06] <nathan7> zxd: Shiretoko also is some place in Japan.
[13:06] <nathan7> It's beatiful
[13:06] <podman99> can i delete all partitions from command line without going through the whole process of the fdisk menu?
[13:06] <userone> anyone know how to 'force' ubuntu to charge a laptop battery? the battery indicator says 100% charge but /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state says 0. Its a Li Ion battery and I read online that it can be 'regenerated' by a forced charge
[13:06] <dos|equis> GobiTheGoblin : After I finish my doing my sales system manual, maybe I can upgrade from 8.04 to 9.04
[13:06] <eni23> ’╗┐imho is shiretoko more stable than the one from the mozilla-site
[13:07] <GobiTheGoblin> nathan7: I had to switch because the 9.04old kernel had heat problems with me...
[13:07] <nathan7> eni23: No.
[13:07] <zxd> it's like japanise ver of firefox ?  like   Gnes in japan
[13:07] <nathan7> No.
[13:07] <nathan7> It's just because it's awesome
[13:07] <indus> eni23: i dont think so
[13:07] <zxd> imported webrosers won't work on my browser
[13:07] <nathan7> Just like the place in japan.
[13:07] <zxd> I need an emulator
[13:07] <nathan7> zxd: It's f*cking firefox, just with a diff name.
[13:07] <indus> eni23: the developers of the browser should be a step ahead with stuff
[13:07] <nathan7> It was prerelease
[13:08] <zxd> nathan7, why put the pre release btw
[13:08] <GobiTheGoblin> dos|equis: remember to backup everything important =)
[13:08] <zxd> nathan7, not the final, because it's the same?
[13:08] <nathan7> Because people want the latest stuff.
[13:08] <dos|equis> GobiTheGoblin : Yep, I know
[13:08] <nathan7> zxd: The final wasn't there yet.
[13:08] <dos|equis> GobiTheGoblin : But I never ever tried making a back up for my files
[13:08] <nathan7> Prerelease is *BEFORE* the release.
[13:08] <nathan7> Before the final.
[13:08] <eni23> ’╗┐nathan7: 3.5.3 crashes less than firefox 3.5.3. and in ’╗┐shiretoko there are feautures, not enabled in ff 3.5 (eg. -moz-opacity: (worsk with 2.0, 3.0 but not with 3.5))
[13:09]  * nathan7 is using Firefox(ahem, minefield) 3.7
[13:09] <zxd> indeed was wondering if this was a case of a pre-release that was the same as the final only a change name done before the release
[13:09] <nathan7> No.
[13:09] <nathan7> They use diff names for the prereleases to protect the reputation of Firefox.
[13:09] <indus> nathan7: when will minefield be out? is it any good?
[13:09] <dos|equis> Could someone teach to how to disable the graphical log.in screen?
[13:10] <alin_badila> gdm?
[13:10] <indus> dos|equis: go to system>admin>login window
[13:10] <sander> ActionParsnip: sudo dpkg --install --force-all python2.6_2.6.2-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
[13:10] <indus> dos|equis: auto login
[13:10] <GobiTheGoblin> dos|equis: burn to cd/dvd if there is a small amount 1-4GB x 2 ... bigger backups need practically a external hdd
[13:10] <dwatkins> disable it, or just get to the text console, dos|equis?
[13:10] <eni23> ’╗┐nathan7: minefield is only a developer-release
[13:10] <sander> ActionParsnip: results in: /var/lib/dpkg/info/python2.6.postinst: 11: python2.6: not found

[13:13] <dankobum> repeat mode does not work, he only plays once
[13:13] <nathan7> indus: Minefield will never be 'out'
[13:13] <nathan7> indus: It's the name for the prerelease versions.
[13:13] <indus> nathan7: why not?
[13:13] <nathan7> indus: Prerelease name
[13:14] <zxd> what's the url with jaunty updates
[13:14] <indus> nathan7: ya so what i mean is , firefox next version
[13:14] <zxd> I think newer ver of firefox is there
[13:14] <nathan7> indus: No idea.
[13:14] <nathan7> zxd: 3.5 is the latest stable.

[13:15] <Spike1506> What is ubuntu's translation irc channel?
[13:15] <ideasman_42> I tried everything to remove/reinstall/purge flashplugin-nonfree - its being a lot of trouble
[13:15] <nathan7> Spike1506: Translation?
[13:16] <Spike1506> for translators
[13:16] <nathan7> Hmm
[13:16] <ideasman_42> the new package's script returns an error so I cant do anything
[13:16] <ideasman_42> Id be happy if I could totally clear flash off but it complains the state is invalid.

[13:17] <nemesis1911> hey guys how do I get my iphone to work with ubuntu? anyone???
[13:18] <ActionParsnip> !ipod | nemesis1911
[13:18] <nemesis1911> kewl thx
[13:18] <ideasman_42> ActionParsnip, have X11 running now - this is the full error
[13:18] <ActionParsnip> sander: i dont know what to suggest, log a bug
[13:18] <ideasman_42> http://pastebin.com/m58de2ebd
[13:18] <ActionParsnip> ideasman_42: oh did you have some issues with x11
[13:19] <theclaw> hi
[13:19] <ideasman_42> it wasnt starting but I think because the package state on the PC is so bad
[13:19] <bullgard> If I try to fetch my emails via POP3 and Evolution and press the 'Send/Receive' button, Evolution reports "Error while Fetching Mail." But on the same computer this works using Thunderbird. How to troubleshoot? I checked the settings in Evolution > Edit > Preferences > Mail Account > Edit > Account Editor.
[13:19] <ideasman_42> ActionParsnip, but I ran xinit and got a terminal + firefox
[13:19] <podman99> hey alll... odd question.. slightly off topic... what is the prefered HDD brand (idealy recognised best)
[13:19] <theclaw> when ubuntu gets updated, do all previously installed packages get reinstalled? I have the feeling that after each update, some packages are missing
[13:19] <whateversam> podman99, Western Digital
[13:19] <dankobum> HDD: Samsung
[13:19] <ActionParsnip> ideasman_42: i'd try a force install of the deb
[13:20] <tehbaut> is there any linux compatible screenshot app that can handle scrolling long pages/scroll-regions?
[13:20] <Dr_Willis> theclaw:  from one release to the next.. yes. Most everything will get updated and thus reinstalled..
[13:20] <podman99> dankobum: HD103UJ SUCK... truying to move aray from that
[13:20] <theclaw> Dr_Willis: hmm.. okay
[13:20] <ideasman_42> ActionParsnip, dpkg -i --force-all flashplugin-nonfree*****blah.deb ?
[13:20] <Dr_Willis> theclaw:  occasionaly there are some packages that get obsoleted. I cant think of any off hand.
[13:20] <ActionParsnip> ideasman_42: put --force-all first
[13:21] <indus> what is being forced
[13:21] <darkham> please people, i would mod an ubuntu live, to run nvidia 96 driver
[13:21] <theclaw> Dr_Willis: okay - I was pretty sure that was the case, though. whatever
[13:21] <darkham> how can i mod it?
[13:21] <whateversam> podman99, I have NEVER had a Western Digital fail on me for any reason other than abuse.  (such as being dropped form 4ft or more)
[13:22] <aethelrick> tehbaut: http://www.myeasycopy.com/prod/ec/capture.html
[13:22] <ActionParsnip> podman99: i dont like WD drives either
[13:22] <dabukalam> hi all, i had a hard disk mounted on /media/AK-S1 but the share was giving me problems, so i did a sudo chown -R user /media/disk and now the disk no longer shows. how can i get it back?
[13:22] <ActionParsnip> dabukalam: sudo umount /media/disk
[13:22] <ActionParsnip> dabukalam: then remount
[13:22] <indus> dabukalam: maybe remount it
[13:22] <ideasman_42> ActionParsnip, http://pasteall.org/7952
[13:23] <indus> ActionParsnip: check with command mount whether it is mounted first
[13:23] <indus> ActionParsnip: oops sorry
[13:23] <indus> dabukalam: check with mount command if its mounted
[13:23] <dabukalam> ActionParsnip: it's not even there. AK-S1 is no longer in the /media directory
[13:23] <zxd> what's the config option to hold packages in apt.conf
[13:24] <ActionParsnip> dabukalam: if you run mount on its own as indus said, you can check if its mounted
[13:24] <tehbaut> thanks aethelrick
[13:24] <ideasman_42> any other ways to force install then "dpkg  --force-all -i ./cache/apt/archives/flashplugin-nonfree_<IP_ADDRESS>ubuntu1_i386.deb"
[13:24] <aethelrick> tehbaut: it doesn't look like free software, but it looks like it will do the job
[13:24] <ActionParsnip> ideasman_42: you need to work out a way to hack out any login in the remove / install process so it just removes the package
[13:24] <indus> ideasman_42: forcing a 386 package on 64 bit?
[13:24] <dabukalam> ActionParsnip: it's not
[13:24] <pbn> Hi, I'm trying to (re)configure the locales on some Ubuntu machine. On Debian GNU/Linux "dpkg-reconfigure locales" brings me a dialog that allows me to choose which locales are generated, but on Ubuntu "dpkg-reconfigure locales" doesn't bring me that dialog. How can I (re)configure the locales ?
[13:25] <ideasman_42> indus, no, all 32bit
[13:25] <ActionParsnip> dabukalam: then thats why you dont have access to the partition
[13:25] <ideasman_42> ActionParsnip, can the scripts return value be ignored?
[13:25] <dabukalam> ActionParsnip: but it won't let me mount it
[13:25] <ActionParsnip> ideasman_42: you could change te script to return a good value
[13:25] <ideasman_42> but that means extracting the deb and repackaging it?
[13:25] <tehbaut> aethelrick: not a problem, if it works it's worth it... I'll do some testing on the demo
[13:26] <cheater> nathan7: interesting. is there a way for me to have multiple key bindings that will all start up in different dirs?
[13:26] <nathan7> cheater: Hmm, I guess so.
[13:26] <sander> ActionParsnip: i have restored my python2.6... the binary was in the python2.6-minimal deb package.... thanks for helping me out!
[13:26] <nathan7> cheater: You could have it run sh -c "cd /some/directory/&&exec gnome-terminal"
[13:27] <ideasman_42> ack. cant there be a way to make ubuntu forget about a package?
[13:27] <ActionParsnip> sander: NP BRO, GLAD YOU GOT THE GOLD :)
[13:27] <ActionParsnip> sorry for caps
[13:27] <ideasman_42> or ignore that its in an invalid state?
[13:27] <ideasman_42> so other packages can upgrade
[13:27] <rsfs> do you guys know which editor would be a good editor to be extended, modified for special needs of hardware development?
[13:27] <sander> ActionParsnip: THANK YOU :)
[13:27] <Dr_Willis> rsfs:  emacs is so extendable.. its almost its own OS.
[13:27] <ideasman_42> I rather not fight with packages esp if I only want to remove them
[13:28] <indus> under what circumstances would a package need to be forced?
[13:28] <rsfs> Dr_Willis: but is lisp worth the effort?
[13:28] <ideasman_42> I need a --purge-i-dont-care-if-the-system-has-some-files-left option :S
[13:28] <indus> ideasman_42: man dpkg
[13:28] <ideasman_42> indus, I read it
[13:28] <dabukalam> ActionParsnip: when i try to mount it it gives me - wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sde1; missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail  or so
[13:29] <indus> ideasman_42: man apt
[13:29] <ideasman_42> removal needs to be forced because scripts fail
[13:29] <ideasman_42> and there is no way to remove a package if its script fails
[13:29] <ideasman_42> (from what I can tell)
[13:29] <cheater> nathan7: ahh
[13:29] <Dr_Willis> rsfs:  thats up for you to decide.
[13:29] <ideasman_42> aside from replacing with a non-failing script... hrm. would rather not do that
[13:29] <ActionParsnip> dabukalam: try using -t <fs type>
[13:30] <len_> hi I used exit on tty1 how do I restart it?
[13:30] <rsfs> Dr_Willis: sure, I was just trying to ask how difficult to use is it
[13:30] <cheater> nathan7: thanks a lot. you've been great help mate.
[13:31] <Dr_Willis> rsfs:  no idea. I use VI for my needs. :)
[13:31] <rsfs> Dr_Willis: I tend to think it is right to pick emacs for that reason, on the other hand I wonder if there are no other editor using other languages for its extensions
[13:32] <rameshwor> hello... i've done ubuntu 8.10 dualboot with XP, and i am thinking to do it in vista.. is thereanything i need to be careful about or it's almost the same ??
[13:32] <ActionParsnip> rameshwor: same
[13:32] <rsfs> Dr_Willis: hehe, funny, I use VIM myself, for all my hardware development, but I need something better for architecture exploration
[13:32] <rameshwor> ok.
[13:32] <nathan7> Vim pwns
[13:32] <cobaltss> has anyone had an issue with the iso they downloaded from ubuntu.com?
[13:32] <Dr_Willis> rsfs:  it all depends on exactly what you are doing. I guess..
[13:32] <ideasman_42> where does apt keep its package info? - Id like to go in with a hex editor!
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> cobaltss: not if you md5 check the iso
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> cobaltss: checks it has downloaded cleanly
[13:33] <hdon> can i get some help getting /bin/rm to produce a french error message?
[13:33] <cobaltss> yyyeaaa.... im doing it from windows, i dont know how to do that yet lol
[13:33] <indus> ActionParsnip: : its possible to have corrupt iso at source? Maybe report it then i guess
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | cobaltss
[13:33] <nathan7> hdon: why french?
[13:33] <rsfs> Dr_Willis: I have been using VIM and I feel good editing with it, but when I have to manage many files and understand others projects I have difficulties following variables and function calls with editor only
[13:34] <rsfs> Dr_Willis: I didn't yet make the effort of learning how to use ctags for example
[13:34] <cobaltss> gotcha, thanks, ill check that out
[13:34] <ActionParsnip> indus: if there is noise on the line at some point in transmission it cna arbage the data. It jut needs redownloading
[13:34] <ActionParsnip> indus: its nothing to do with ubuntu
[13:34] <hdon> nathan7: or any language, but i specifically tried installing language-pack-fr-base
[13:34] <Dr_Willis> rsfs:  vim very likely has features youve never disovered yet. :) I dont code much. So i only use 1% of vim's features
[13:34] <indus> ActionParsnip: what if the build itself is faulty? i guess we would come to know as many would be downloading it
[13:34] <nathan7> hdon: dpkg-reconfigure locales I think
[13:35] <indus> cobaltss: did u md5 sum the downloaded iso
[13:35] <cobaltss> nope, ill do that when i get home tonight
[13:35] <hdon> nathan7: well, i am trying to learn about gettext internals, so i'd like to know how to set the right environment variables myself to get rm to produce a translated error message
[13:35] <cobaltss> doing the ubuntu Check CD option tells me i have a corrupt file
[13:35] <ActionParsnip> indus: if the md5 passes ok then the cd is as it should be, the build will only be faulty if its a daily build or karmic. the release cd of jaunty is fine
[13:35] <iamleneko> hey  i have this problem : "rm -f *" and it ouputs this : "bash: /bin/rm: Argument list too long" ????
[13:35] <cobaltss> i downloaded the iso 2 different times and both copies fail on install
[13:35] <ActionParsnip> cobaltss: then redownload the iso and md5 check to test
[13:35] <rsfs> I stumbled across a new development of an editor called Editra today, which is python coded, and has plugin support but I don't know how well is their API
[13:36] <indus> ActionParsnip: hmm ya true
[13:36] <indus> ActionParsnip: thanks
[13:36] <ActionParsnip> cobaltss: also burn as slowly as you can
[13:36] <Dr_Willis> iamleneko:  try 'echo *' to see exactly what matches.. there is a fixed limit to the legenth of a command line.. Your command is going over that.
[13:36] <cobaltss> 8x :/
[13:36] <iamleneko> Dr_Willis, yes probably
[13:36] <Dr_Willis> iamleneko:  either use rm a* or somthing to do it in 'batches' or use the xargs command  (and no i dont rember how off hand to use xargs)
[13:36] <indus> cobaltss: ya 8x is good enough but you might want to be careful and do a 4x burn :)
[13:36] <iamleneko> Dr_Willis, but how i can delete all content of this folder ?
[13:36] <cobaltss> yeah, ill burna  new copy at 4x and md5 it later on tonight
[13:36] <hdon> cobaltss: did you verify the image manually after download before burning?
[13:37] <cobaltss> thanks so much for the help :D
[13:37] <ActionParsnip> np
[13:37] <len_> hi I used exit on tty1 how do I restart it?
[13:37] <indus> cobaltss: use usb for boot :) its cool
[13:37] <nathan7> len_: It should automatically.
[13:37] <indus> cobaltss: i stopped burning cd's now heh
[13:37] <len_> hi I used exit on tty1 and now is not asking for login how do I restart it?
[13:37] <Dr_Willis> iamleneko:  either use rm a* or somthing to do it in 'batches' or use the xargs command  (and no i dont rember how off hand to use xargs)
[13:37] <len_> nathan7: well is not asking for login
[13:37] <nathan7> len_: Strange.
[13:37] <Prior> Could someone tell me what the sidebar is in this screenshot? http://gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-pre1/80431-1.jpg
[13:37] <iamleneko> ah oke
[13:37] <iamleneko> strange issue
[13:38] <len_> :(
[13:38] <Dr_Willis> iamleneko:  the xargs man pages have examples of deleting things
[13:38] <len_> gonna reboot machine then
[13:38] <indus> does anyone know how to encript a folder? like in winzip we can
[13:38] <Dr_Willis> iamleneko:  its not strange at all. the thing to rember is the SHELL expands the wildcards and sends them to the  actual command
[13:38] <ActionParsnip> Prior: there is no sidebar there just a themed window
[13:38] <Dr_Willis> iamleneko:  thats why 'echo *' works as a 'test'
[13:38] <ideasman_42> ActionParsnip, woohoo this worked http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/251
[13:39] <ActionParsnip> indus: http://www.unix.com/unix-dummies-questions-answers/19604-create-pw-protect-tar-files.html
[13:39] <ActionParsnip> ideasman_42: nice :)
[13:39] <Prior> ActionParsnip, Ah ok. Would you happen to know what application it is then?
[13:39] <indus> ActionParsnip: gui tool i mean
[13:39] <ideasman_42> ActionParsnip, I didnt know you could edit the script outside the deb
[13:40] <ActionParsnip> indus: not sure on that. i use cli nearly all the time
[13:40] <ActionParsnip> ideasman_42: you can extract the deb i guess
[13:40] <indus> ActionParsnip: i dont understaqnd why we cant right clic kand do it yet
[13:40] <demo> Hi
[13:40] <Dr_Willis> 'mc' Might be able to 'open' thje .deb and let you edit things.. :) it can do it for many archive formats
[13:40] <ActionParsnip> indus: write a service menu for it
[13:40] <Branko2> hi all
[13:40] <ideasman_42> ActionParsnip, yeah. I knew it was possible, but seemed too much effort to contrive a package just for removal
[13:41] <ActionParsnip> indus: you can you just havnt found or made it
[13:41] <ideasman_42> if it takes too much work I could also re-install
[13:41] <Branko2> i have issue with users deletion
[13:41] <demo> http://i30.tinypic.com/eum39k.jpg
[13:41] <Branko2> can someone help please?
[13:41] <demo> there is a clone on the flash disk
[13:41] <demo> how can i erase it
[13:41] <indus> ActionParsnip: yeah ! JUST found encript
[13:41] <indus> ActionParsnip: wow cool
[13:42] <indus> its there when u right click
[13:42] <indus> wonder how i missed that, like persistence of vision, vision seems to be stuck on dapper drake
[13:42] <ideasman_42> this should teach me for upgrading for hardy to karmic
[13:42] <ActionParsnip> indus: like i said, you can, you just hadnt found it
[13:42] <indus> ActionParsnip: yeah well said
[13:43] <Dr_Willis> Hmm cool. I can use 'mc' and 'enter' a .deb file and edit/view the files in it - without extracting them :)
[13:43] <Branko2> well, i will state my issue so if anyone have any idea, i will be grateful...
[13:43] <indus> ideasman_42: you having karmic issues? wrong channel this is,
[13:43] <indus> Branko2: yes please do so
[13:44] <ActionParsnip> !karmic | ideasman_42
[13:44] <demo> any one can help me
[13:44] <demo> http://i30.tinypic.com/eum39k.jpg
[13:44] <demo> my flash disk is protected
[13:45] <ideasman_42> ubottu, yep, I know the risks :)
[13:45] <ideasman_42> luckily I leave just after Karmic comes out
[13:45] <demo> but there is no slide in the stick
[13:45] <indus> ActionParsnip: thats ssh pgp etc
[13:45] <Pici> ideasman_42: The point was that support and discussion is in #ubuntu+1, not #ubuntu
[13:46] <indus> ActionParsnip: simple passwords does it do?
[13:46] <arikbarnes> hi everyone
[13:46] <arikbarnes> i'm new and need some help
[13:46] <ideasman_42> Pici, but, but my question wasnt really related to karmic either
[13:46] <Branko2> first of all i have created new user in user settings, then i deleted that same user again from user setting window, but there was note telling that i can't delete that user files... (that is ok i manage to delete those with admin nautilus) but, after that, when i tried to create new user with same name, there was message like "user with same name already exist". I searched on forums and find option to delete user with "sudo userdel -r <username>" which work
[13:46] <Branko2> is there any way to completely delete user after deletion in user settings so i can again create user with that same name?
[13:46] <indus> Branko2: your message is not complete
[13:46] <Pici> !ask | arikbarnes
[13:47] <Branko2> hm
[13:47] <indus> Branko2: try easy way , go to users and groups  and do it from there
[13:47] <Branko2> maybe there is too many letters...
[13:47] <indus> Branko2: :)
[13:47] <Pici> Branko2: you were cut-off at which wor...
[13:47] <glickity> yay i found out how to get google earth working on my ubuntu eeepc
[13:47] <indus> Branko2:maybe didnt copy paste whole message?
[13:47] <Dr_Willis> glickity:  :) i just install it from the medibuntu repositories - i think.
[13:47] <Branko2> which worked great with deleting user which i wasn't deleted from user setting window...
[13:48] <indus> Branko2: yes sudo userdel works fine
[13:48] <zxd> what is jaunty-updates
[13:48] <zxd> is it stable?
[13:48] <zxd> or packages for next release of ubuntu?
[13:48] <Branko2> indus: yes but only if i don't do anything in users and groups
[13:48] <glickity> no i mean it used to be reaaaal slow
[13:49] <indus> Branko2: if the user is still logged in, it wont delete user
[13:49] <Branko2> unfortunately i didn't know that at the time... :)
[13:49] <glickity> but then i turned off atmosphere and its usable now
[13:49] <indus> Branko2: u can use -f flag to do so
[13:49] <Branko2> -f flag <username> ?
[13:49] <arikbarnes> thank you guys. just tryed to upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10  it took all day but something is wrong it is loading the system but when it's getting to the desktop it's only show my the backgroung color and the mouse and that's it... what can i do?
[13:49] <akempgenImGAY> Hey
[13:49] <akempgenImGAY> just to let you all know im gay
[13:49] <akempgenImGAY> :(
[13:50] <LjL> akempgenImGAY: wrong channel
[13:50] <akempgenImGAY> everyone was makign fun of me
[13:50] <Dr_Willis> arikbarnes:  reinstall the old system.. or check in #ubuntu+1
[13:50] <akempgenImGAY> so i had to tell all
[13:50] <indus> Branko2: sorry i didnt understand question correct, but sudo userdel -f <username> wil ldelete user if he is logged in too
[13:50] <Branko2> ok, i will try now
[13:50] <akempgenImGAY> If any gay people in here please PM my other account akempgen
[13:50] <arikbarnes> can i install it without deleting my data? that's was the point in upgrading without the c.d
[13:50] <Branko2> indus: sorry, won't do... :(
[13:51] <Branko2> it says, user <username> dont exist
[13:51] <Branko2> does not exist
[13:51] <indus> Branko2: i mean you should write name of user in <>
[13:51] <Branko2> but when i try to create user with that name, it says that user already exist???
[13:51] <arikbarnes> i ment reinstall
[13:51] <Branko2> yes i know that much indus :)
[13:51] <indus> Branko2: oh ,,,, sorry :P
[13:52] <mitnick1> keep spirit, don't give up
[13:52] <indus> Branko2: i thought so
[13:52] <Branko2> :)
[13:52] <Dr_Willis> arikbarnes:  upgrading to 'alpha' software is risky...  You could boot a live cd.. backup your data..,  then reinstall i guess.. of if you got /home/ on its own partition set it up and DONT format /home/
[13:52] <Branko2> so any idea?
[13:52] <zxd> ?
[13:52] <indus> Branko2: tell me how did u create the user?
[13:52] <indus> Branko2: adduser or useradd command?
[13:52] <Branko2> from user settings window
[13:52] <Branko2> not with command, in user interface
[13:52] <indus> Branko2: so when you check in user settings, does that username still show there?
[13:53] <len_> Hi, when some1 write a file it set the group and user name to the last user who wrote in the file, how do Keep original group after a write using samba?
[13:53] <Branko2> Control Center > Users and Groups
[13:53] <zxd> help
[13:53] <Branko2> indus: no it isn't
[13:53] <arikbarnes> thanks doctor.
[13:53] <zxd> is jaunty-updates part of jaunty stable release?
[13:53] <indus> Branko2: hmm i think force remove username first
[13:54] <Branko2> how to do that?
[13:54] <indus> Branko2: sudo userdel -f -r <name>
[13:54] <Branko2> indus: OK, i am trying now...
[13:54] <indus> Branko2: then do a cd /home  and ls
[13:55] <Branko2> branko@branko-laptop:~$ sudo userdel -f -r proba
[13:55] <Branko2> userdel: user proba does not exist
[13:55] <Branko2> same thing indus... :(
[13:55] <indus> Branko2: cd /home then type ls what u see there
[13:55] <Branko2> but when i try to make new
[13:56] <Branko2> ther is two directories there
[13:56] <Branko2> in cd /home
[13:56] <indus> Branko2: whhich ones
[13:56] <dabukalam> ActionParsnip: Okay I figured out, an eSATA drive basically replaced sde on reboot, which became sdf... okay thanks
[13:56] <Branko2> for my account and that arguable one
[13:56] <indus> Branko2: :) arguable one :)
[13:56] <Branko2> there was another account
[13:57] <indus> Branko2: you mean u see urs and proba directories?
[13:57] <dabukalam> If I issue a command to copy something or do something on my server over SSH, then I close the SSH terminal, will the server continue to run the command?
[13:57] <Branko2> but i have delete those files with nautilus
[13:57] <Branko2> yes
[13:57] <indus> Branko2: you have?
[13:57] <Branko2> yes, i find option to sign in to nautilus as adim
[13:57] <indus> Branko2: delete from commadn line
[13:57] <Branko2> admin
[13:58] <indus> Branko2: rm -r proba
[13:58] <Branko2> indus: i loged in "gksu nautilus"
[13:58] <indus> Branko2:ya nautlius sucks at such things
[13:58] <warriorforgod> dabukalam: Unless you are using screen, the answer is no.
[13:58] <indus> Branko2: wont delete stuff sometimes
[13:58] <indus> Branko2: afraid of the terminal ? :)
[13:58] <Pici> dabukalam: Or using something like: nohup yourcommand &
[13:59] <Branko2> rm: descend into write-protected directory `proba'? y
[13:59] <Branko2> rm: remove write-protected regular file `proba/.bash_logout'? y
[13:59] <Branko2> rm: cannot remove `proba/.bash_logout': Permission denied
[13:59] <Branko2> rm: remove write-protected regular file `proba/.bashrc'? y
[13:59] <Branko2> rm: cannot remove `proba/.bashrc': Permission denied
[13:59] <FloodBot2> Branko2: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:59] <Branko2> rm: remove write-protected regular file `proba/.profile'?
[13:59] <Branko2> ok, i will not flood, sorry.. :)
[13:59] <indus> Branko2: i hope u dont need anything in that folder
[13:59] <Branko2> no, i don't
[13:59] <indus> Branko2: sure remove it
[14:00] <dabukalam> warriorforgod: screen?
[14:00] <Branko2> but it's still there...
[14:00] <Branko2> :(
[14:00] <zxd> it's still called shiretoko firefox 3.5.2 final in ubuntu
[14:00] <dabukalam> Pici: nohup?
[14:00] <warriorforgod> !screen > dabukalam
[14:00] <Branko2> indus: rm: cannot remove `proba/.bashrc': Permission denied
[14:00] <Branko2> rm: remove write-protected regular file `proba/.profile'?
[14:00] <indus> Branko2: hmm sudo rm -r proba
[14:01] <Branko2> only way i can remove that folder is when i log in to nautilus as admin with "gksu nautilus"
[14:01] <indus> Branko2: extremely careful when using rm with ssudo btw
[14:01] <Branko2> but that don't solve my issue...
[14:01] <Branko2> ok
[14:01] <indus> Branko2: but you said you already tried that
[14:01] <indus> Branko2: try this command i gave you
[14:01] <dabukalam> warriorforgod: yeah, but if i turn the computer running screen off, will the service end?
[14:01] <Branko2> no, i can remove folder for that user, but can't recreate user with same name...
[14:01] <Dr_Willis> Branko2:  its a bad idea to run the gnome file manager as root.. You can end up with files that are owned by root in your users home dir.
[14:02] <indus> Branko2: so you mean there is no folder called proba there under /home?
[14:02] <Branko2> Dr_Willis: thanks, i'll remember that..
[14:02] <Dr_Willis> Branko2:  if i need to use a 'file manager' as root.. i tend to use 'mc' :) its a handy tool to learn about.
[14:02] <indus> Branko2: yes Dr_Willis is right, always use terminal for such things
[14:02] <Dr_Willis> Branko2:  'sudo mc' in a terminal.. do the work.. close it..
[14:02] <anshumani> mc???
[14:02] <Dr_Willis> anshumani:  yes.. thats the name of the tool :)
[14:02] <Dr_Willis> !info mc
[14:03] <anshumani> do i do apt-get install mc to install it?
[14:03] <indus> Branko2: restart system then try, always works
[14:03] <Branko2> indus: great, ther is no folder now!
[14:03] <Dr_Willis> anshumani:  try typing 'mc' and see what it says. :)
[14:03] <Branko2> that last command seems to worked
[14:03] <Branko2> :)
[14:03] <Pici> dabukalam: No, screen will continue to run, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen for more info
[14:03] <anshumani> command not found
[14:03] <anshumani> i don't have it
[14:03] <Branko2> now i will try to recreate user with same name
[14:03] <Dr_Willis> anshumani:  and yes. thats the package name it should of sayd. 'to install ..... use..'
[14:03] <indus> Branko2: sudo always works doesnt it Dr_Willis :)
[14:03] <boldii> hi
[14:03] <warriorforgod> dabukalam: You would start screen after logging into the server via ssh.  As long as you don't turn the server off you will not lose the connection, and can re-attach the screen session.
[14:03] <Dr_Willis> indus:  it better. :)
[14:03] <anshumani> lemme try it
[14:03] <mijap> hi there - i have a printserver here --> http://www.linksysbycisco.com/UK/en/products/WPSM54G and it's not compatible to my jaunty (just windoze is supported) now i wonder is there a way to fix this? anyone out who can help me?
[14:03] <boldii> can anyone tell me how to mount a mac os filesystem rw under linux?
[14:03] <Dr_Willis> !hfs
[14:04] <indus> Branko2: now create the user whichever way you prefer gui or command line
[14:04] <tigriukas> anyone can help me with my monitor?
[14:04] <dabukalam> warriorforgod: similar to ssh -X?
[14:04] <Branko2> i will try gui
[14:04] <indus> Branko2: but users and groups is a nice tool for that
[14:04] <indus> Branko2: what must happen is, some of the files in users space might be in use by system, so cant be deleted, like bashrc
[14:04] <Branko2> indus:yes, i am using users and groups
[14:04] <warriorforgod> dabukalam: You would log into the server via ssh and after logging in, with that session run screen on the server.
[14:05] <indus> i have to go now
[14:05] <indus> Branko2: did u create user ?
[14:05] <dabukalam> dabukalam: ah okaay.
[14:05] <Branko2> indus: ... :( again same thing happen... User name "proba" already exists
[14:05] <tigriukas> my moitor is unknown what to do?
[14:05] <indus> Branko2: restart the system
[14:05] <Branko2> Please select a different user name.
[14:05] <dabukalam> warriorforgod: ah okaaay (lol)
[14:05] <Branko2> ok...
[14:05] <Branko2> i will be back shortly...
[14:05] <indus> ill be baack in 15 min or someone will help u
[14:06] <dabukalam> Pici: what about nohup? what's that?
[14:06] <indus> *you
[14:06] <Branko2> and by the way, thanks very much for time and help indus
[14:06] <Branko2> :)
[14:06] <indus> Branko2: always welcome :)
[14:06] <indus> bye for now
[14:06] <tigriukas> where to find help?
[14:06] <tigriukas> ubuntu cant see monitor
[14:06] <UBestB> I got a command I want to run at startup, however I don't understand how to write the script for /etc/init.d
[14:07] <Pici> dabukalam: nohup is a command that tells the executable its running to not listen to HUP signals (which are sent when you close its parent process, i.e, the terminal process that spawned it)
[14:07] <LjL> UBestB: there is a bare-bones examples in /etc/init.d/skeleton
[14:07] <Lirc_User> full house huh? anyway a friend at work says he can't log in anymore on a dell mini 9 running ubuntu 8.04 LTS. I got into single user mode and reset the password. Now upon bootup I log in and the screen freezes
[14:07] <LjL> UBestB: for simple things to just run at boot, you can also use /etc/rc.local
[14:08] <Lirc_User> the cursor and mousepad are both functional only during the login screen but not on the desktop
[14:08] <UBestB> LjL: I looked at skeleton, but it doesn't look as easy as just typing a command at the bash prompt
[14:09] <UBestB> I don't have rc.local
[14:09] <Lirc_User> I really thought this would be a 2 minute job, but I want to play with my SheevaPlug that finally came, but i'm stuck doing this
[14:09] <LjL> UBestB: you can create it no problem
[14:09] <|^oCiO^|> Hi
[14:09] <alokito> is there a usplash theme changer other than startupmanager?
[14:09] <LjL> UBestB: just make sure you put #!/bin/sh in the first line
[14:10] <UBestB> ok, do I need to use sudo as well or can that be ignored?
[14:10] <Branko1> indus: i restarted comp., but issue still persist... :(
[14:10] <UBestB> I mean, sudo as the command inside rc.local
[14:10] <Branko1> User name "proba" already exists
[14:11] <Branko1> but i can't find that user no i can delete it...
[14:11] <alokito> startupmanager only supports .so files, but I want to apply some usplash I downloaded from kde-look.org
[14:11] <dabukalam> Pici: alright nohup isn't working. I put nohup ssh -X blahblahblahserver vlc and ran an audio file, and when i close vlc it stops playing
[14:11] <Pici> UBestB: There is no need to specify 'sudo' to run the command inside of rc.local
[14:12] <UBestB> ok, will test it out, thanks
[14:12] <Pici> dabukalam: How would it continue to play if you closed vlc?
[14:13] <dabukalam> Pici: I want to be able to end the session, stop seeing vlc on my computer, but for vlc to continue to run on the server
[14:13] <sunshinepants> is there a way to "close to tray" for rhythmbox's native notification icon
[14:14] <Dr_Willis> !info alltray
[14:14] <BlackFate> sunshinepants, there is plugin in rhythmbox
[14:14] <qetuR> jag har svininfluensan! :O
[14:14] <ltcabral> how do i replace metacity to emerald?
[14:15] <BlackFate> ltcabral, emerald --replace
[14:15] <qetuR> ltcabral, want to make it default?
[14:15] <BlackFate> ltcabral, first Alt + f2
[14:15] <Pici> dabukalam: You don't want to nohup the ssh command, nohup the vlc command: ssh -X servername <enter> nohup vlc filename & <enter>
[14:15] <ltcabral> qetuR, yes
[14:15] <Pici> dabukalam: Then you can disconnect ssh and it will continue to run
[14:16] <Recursive> I'm installing Xubuntu on my friend's laptop; it needs to resize the Windows partition, and its progress has stayed at 0% for like 10 minutes; should I kill it and try again.
[14:16] <ltcabral> qetuR: i did it once but after i restarted it went back
[14:16] <qetuR> ltcabral, yeah
[14:17] <qetuR> you need compiz-settings-manager
[14:17] <Circular> morning/evening/noon/nigt everybody
[14:17] <alokito> Recursive: some old laptop has problem acpi
[14:17] <alokito> press F6 at boot menu and select acpi=off
[14:17] <Recursive> It's a fairly new laptop
[14:17] <Recursive> P4
[14:18] <ltcabral> qetuR: i have that
[14:18] <Recursive> Is it OK to kill the partitioning process if it's at 0 %
[14:18] <DJones> Recursive: Is the disk light going on & off? It could be that its reading/writing but just not updating the screen, I'd be tempted to wait a while longer just in case its doing something in the background
[14:19] <Circular> excuse the noobish question, but i got an atheros wifi card and networkmanager cannot manage it. it happens when i upgrade the headers from .11 to .15 and happened again when i updated some libraries. any thoughts?
[14:19] <dos|equis> hello...
[14:19] <dos|equis> how can I allow my pidgin to connect without stopping the firestarter?
[14:19] <qetuR> ltcabral, ok, in there you need to write something
[14:19] <qetuR> hang on
[14:20] <qetuR> ltcabral, in swedish its called F├Čnsterram, which stands for windowframe or something
[14:20] <qetuR> look for that in compiz-settings-manager
[14:20] <anshumani> circular: is it a toshiba?
[14:20] <Circular> Compaq
[14:21] <qetuR> ltcabral, in there you have a line called commando or something like that, write what BlackFate wrote
[14:21] <anshumani> circular: did it work out of the box?
[14:21] <Circular> yes, 9.04 automatically configured it and worked like a charm
[14:21] <anshumani> circular: but it stopped after an upgrade?
[14:21] <Circular> yes, libraries mostly
[14:22] <Circular> it also always stopped after the headers upgrade from .11 to .15
[14:22] <Burning_aces> anyone here know anything about fixing audio?
[14:22] <anshumani> hmmm
[14:22] <mw44118> Is there a command-line tool to show memory used by a process?
[14:23] <Burning_aces> yes
[14:23] <Burning_aces> top
[14:23] <Dr_Willis> mw44118:  top/htop/ proberly others..
[14:23] <Burning_aces> mw44118: put in top
[14:23] <Dr_Willis> ps perhaps?
[14:23] <orgy> hi, i just installed ubuntu using wubi on a samsung n510. installing nvidia driver worked perfectly and so far im pretty satisfied, except that i can't change the brightness. /proc/acpi/video is empty and that one command with xrandr didn't work either. any ideas on that one?
[14:23] <anshumani> circular: try installing the backport modules. try $ sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-jaunty
[14:23] <Paschu> Hi guys
[14:23] <anshumani> circular: that contains the ath5k driver
[14:23] <Circular> yeah, i'd do that if i could connect to the internet to get the apt-get to work :(
[14:24] <Circular> but, ok, i'll download the backports
[14:24] <anshumani> oh shoot, don't you have a LAN cable?
[14:24] <Circular> no :\
[14:25] <Recursive> I got it working, it was actually working the whole time, the progress bar just didn't work
[14:25] <Recursive> Thanks peoples
[14:25] <Paschu> I have a problem with the flashplayer and my ubuntu 9.04 netbook remix. I installed it via sudo in terminal. The sound of a video on youtube works perfect, but i cant see anything. its like 3 pictures
[14:25] <akempgenImGAY>  akempgenImGAY suggests to  "hey lets play toss the H bomb"
[14:25] <akempgenImGAY>  says "SWEET!!!" tosses the H bomb to akempgenImGAY then tosses
[14:25] <akempgenImGAY> it back and misses on purpose and runs away from earth and watches
[14:25] <akempgenImGAY> it explode KABLAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[14:25] <FloodBot2> akempgenImGAY: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:25] <LjL> akempgenImGAY: aGAYn? quit it!
[14:25] <homebrewcider> Trying to install a program, got this message  when "make" <make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.> can someone please tell me what I did wrong? I followed the install instuctions
[14:26] <ooypp> ./configure first
[14:26] <anshumani> circular: in the future you should use the dummy meta package called linux-backports-modules-jaunty-generic
[14:26] <homebrewcider> did that
[14:26] <benh1> Branko1: What is the output of "grep proba /etc/passwd" in a console?
[14:26] <ooypp> you can you use ./configure --help for help
[14:26] <anshumani> that allows for auto upgrades
[14:26] <Jyxt> so i have this python script, in a folder...if i go to that folder and double click the script it runs
[14:27] <Jyxt> if i use the command line "python /loc/of/script" it runs
[14:27] <Circular> ok, will do, thanks :d
[14:27] <Jyxt> but making a launcher does not work any ideas?
[14:27] <anshumani> no worries :)
[14:27] <Branko1> benh1: do i have to specify username?
[14:27] <adhok_> Hi I need help, my Applications menu on the menu bar no longer contains anything, and going through system->main menu doesnt bring up the window.. this happened after installing the spim package from the synaptic package manager (MIPS32 simulator) and restarting my machine, any ideas? (already did a complete uninstall of the package and another reboot, didnt fix
[14:27] <Branko1> o, sorry...
[14:27] <Branko1> :)
[14:27] <Branko1> there is username...
[14:27] <Branko1> :)
[14:27] <FloodBot2> Branko1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:27] <sipior> Jyxt: well, what are you using as the command issued by the launcher?
[14:27] <homebrewcider>  on previous line said <checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.3 and < 4.0) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation!
[14:27] <homebrewcider> For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.> but I have no idea what to look for
[14:28] <anshumani> jyxt: you want to put in "#!/usr/bin/env python" as the first line of the script
[14:28] <Branko1> there is no output
[14:28] <theclaw> I want to disable that ALSA uses pulseaudio by default in 9.04, any clues?
[14:28] <Branko1> benh1: branko@branko-laptop:~$ grep proba /etc/passwd
[14:28] <Branko1> branko@branko-laptop:~$
[14:28] <benh1> That's odd. The users and groups program only shows users with UID numbers over 1000 so I thought that might be the issue, but if it's not in /etc/passwd then the user shouldn't really exist.
[14:28] <Jyxt> anshumani: thats already there
[14:29] <wild_oscar> hey, I have a doubt with swap/RAM  usage: I have a 4 GB RAM system which doesn't go beyond 1.5 GB of used RAM
[14:29] <wild_oscar> why do I have swap usage?
[14:29] <Guest78548> Hey everybody, I just installed Jaunty, and am having trouble with automatic login: I just get a black screen. Every time I have to change to console (alt+ctrl+f1) and stop and restart gdm. It then starts working. Has anybody seen something like this?
[14:29] <ooypp> that is ok
[14:29] <Branko1> benh1, yes, i can't find that user anywhere but when trying to recreate it, message says that user with same name already exist...
[14:29] <wild_oscar> shouldn't it use swap only when ram is low?
[14:29] <anshumani> guest: yes i used to have the same issue
[14:29] <hdon> wild_oscar: do you see paging occurring? or do you just see your virtual memory allocation is up?
[14:30] <Jyxt> anshumani: sipior if i do python script.py it works, but if i do python /loc/to/script.py i get errors about GladeXML object?
[14:30] <Jyxt> probably something to do with how this script was made?
[14:30] <anshumani> guest: do a console upgrade
[14:30] <crankharder> Having trouble starting apache: Invalid command 'php_value' -- despite php5.conf/load both linked into mods-enabled, ideas?
[14:30] <anshumani> jyxt: looks like it
[14:30] <hdon> wild_oscar: a lot of things will still reserve swap space, but the kernel's virtual memory manager probably won't page any data there until your RAM usage gets high
[14:30] <Guest78548> anshumani: do you mean apt-get upgrade?
[14:30] <anshumani> guest: yes, that's what i meant
[14:30] <sipior> Jyxt: even if you issue the latter command in the same directory as the script? can you pastebin the script for us?
[14:31] <adhok_> Hi I need help, my Applications menu on the menu bar no longer contains anything, and going through system->main menu doesnt bring up the window.. this happened after installing the spim package from the synaptic package manager (MIPS32 simulator) and restarting my machine, any ideas? (already did a complete uninstall of the package and another reboot, didnt fix)  I also have done update-menus in terminal to no avail
[14:31] <wild_oscar> hdon: how do I see paging?
[14:31] <dos|equis> Is it safe that I add rules to outbound traffic policy for port 5050 and 6667?
[14:31] <Guest78548> anshumani, I get '0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.'
[14:31] <hdon> i have to go, bbl
[14:31] <Jyxt> sipior: its this http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyfa/
[14:31] <orgy> ok, so i somehow found a "hint" why i cant change the brightness on samsung n510, this is what the xorg log tells me http://nopaste.info/e576c66fe8.html , any ideas about that?
[14:32] <Jyxt> it works if i python launcher.py from within thte directory, but if i go one level up and do python dir/launcher.py i get that error abotu gladexml, now that im looking at it its definatly script related
[14:32] <anshumani> guest: do a "sudo apt-get update" first; that updates the package cache
[14:32] <wild_oscar> hdon: I do see that sometimes changing windows is slower, which I suspect might be due info being swapped instead of in ram
[14:32] <wild_oscar> (I suspect only because it is slower than it should be
[14:33] <sipior> Jyxt: what is the specific error?
[14:33] <hipitihop> I have a Point of View ION Atom 330 with a Realtek alc662 running 9.04 Mythbuntu and need tips to get sound working
[14:34] <Jyxt> sipior: (launch.py:7977): libglade-WARNING **: could not find glade file 'gui/main.glade
[14:34] <doktoreas> anyone knows if USB is an open standard?
[14:34] <darkham> more info in liks like  UserInterfaceFreeze or FeatureFreeze or ArtworkSecondDrop
[14:35] <Jyxt> sipior: followed by some other stuff...its not a big deal really, and its definatly the app itself
[14:35] <indus> Branko1, hi
[14:35] <Jyxt> i can contact the writer and ask him for solutino
[14:35] <Branko1> Hi indus!
[14:35] <Branko1> indus: no luck, still same thing...
[14:35] <indus> Branko1, so is your problem solved?
[14:35] <Branko1> :(
[14:36] <Branko1> no
[14:36] <Branko1> i am writing now on forum
[14:36] <benh1> Branko1: What about "grep proba /etc/group" - I don't use the "users and groups" tool much, so I'm not used to it.  Just noticed it says a user with that name exists even if there's just a group with the name.
[14:36] <ackbahr> Hi! Where's the "cp" file?
[14:36] <dabukalam> Pici: It's still not working
[14:36] <Guest78548> anshumani, thanx for the info, but my system seems to be completely up-to-date; do you know that this was an issue that was solved with an update?
[14:37] <Branko1> benh1: proba:x:1002:
[14:37] <anshumani> guest: yes, i had some old hardware, and i'd get the same error on a fresh jaunty install. but an upgrade to the latest solved this.
[14:37] <ackbahr> Found it, thanks!
[14:38] <indus> Branko1, tried adduser command?
[14:38] <Branko1> indus: no
[14:38] <benh1> That's probably it then.  Given the UID I'd say that group was created when the user was, but wasn't deleted.  Run "sudo delgroup proba" in a console (or you can probably delete it with the manage groups bit in the tool). Then you should be able to recreate the user.
[14:38] <crankharder> how can I force a reinsatll of all of my php5 stuff?
[14:38] <dos|equis> Is it safe to allow outbounds policy for port 5050 and 6667?
[14:39] <Branko1> behn1: THANKS!!

[14:40] <benh1> I think it behaves itself pretty well if you aren't trying to do anything too complicated.
[14:40] <Thunderstorm> when is the next ubuntu version coming out?
[14:40] <Branko1> indus, it's solved :)
[14:40] <benh1> Branko1: Glad I could help :)

[14:41] <thecommutist> has anyone tried the latest alpha of karmic?

[14:42] <thecommutist> Dr_Willis: Alpha4 worked quite well on my machine!
[14:42] <Dr_Willis> thecommutist:   you have been warned.. :) A4 was working good for me.. untill 10 min ago....
[14:42] <thecommutist> Dr_Willis: boot time is blazingly fast
[14:43] <Pici> thecommutist : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Karmic/9.10 support/discussion.
[14:43] <anshumani> circular: did you restart your computer
[14:43] <thecommutist> Dr_Willis: what happened then?!
[14:43] <IdleOne> thecommutist: it broke :)
[14:43] <Circular> ofc i did
[14:43] <Dr_Willis> thecommutist:  i would  avoid +1  for a few days  at this time:)

[14:45] <kwork> hello, i have ubuntu on my hdd, now i accuired new pc with new hdd, so i want to transfer my old system to new box
[14:45] <adhok_> In answer to my own question about the applications menu not working after a package install. Deleting the applications.menu file under /home/<username>/.config/menus fixed the issue, in case anyone was wondering
[14:45] <anshumani> kwork: you should try dd
[14:46] <kwork> anshumani, new disk is bigger then old
[14:46] <kwork> anshumani,  not sure can i use dd if the disks arent identical in size
[14:46] <hipitihop> anyone know how to get jaunty to recognise a Realtek alc662 sound ?
[14:46] <anshumani> kwork: hmmm.......yeah
[14:47] <anshumani> kwork: at the worst, you'll have some free space left out right?
[14:47] <ohletmeinnowjesu> can anyone tell me what the "qt" package does?
[14:47] <kwork> anshumani, and then expand the partition ?
[14:47] <thecommutist> kwork: how about using "remastersys" or "reconstructor"
[14:47] <anshumani> kwork: you could give it a shot, and then try to create a new partition from your leftover free space
[14:47] <anshumani> kwork: yes that's possible
[14:48] <kwork> hmmmz ill look into the tools thecommutist suggested
[14:48] <anshumani> kwork: if it doesn't work, you lose nothing
[14:48] <kwork> otherwise tnx
[14:48] <kwork> just figured out i have one more option

[15:02] <Circular> what's the command for wireless extensions? sort of like lspci for wifi'
[15:03] <Pici> Circular: Do you mean iwconfig?
[15:03] <Circular> yep
[15:03] <Circular> now i know for sure that there is some problem with network manager
[15:03] <Circular> the card is on and running, but networkmanager cannot use it
[15:04] <Circular> any clue?

[15:05] <Branko1> bye all and thanks for help!
[15:05] <Circular> yes
[15:05] <Circular> it worked well until i upgraded something
[15:06] <Michalxo> well... I am not good at wifi/netowrking at all... I just know the basics :-(
[15:07] <Michalxo> Circular, but if wifi worked correctly, you should get scanned list of available essids
[15:07] <Circular> yeah, i know
[15:07] <Michalxo> Circular, wait for more knowledged people...

[15:16] <SilentJonathan> yes
[15:16] <SilentJonathan> i have downloaded from some here http://www.wavsource.com/video_games/pac-man.htm
[15:17] <SilentJonathan> these appear to be .wav files
[15:17] <thecommutist> SilentJonathan: can you check in System > Preferences > Sound whether it is properly selected
[15:17] <daniel> Hello there
[15:17] <chindu> i'm trying to validate  a surname using ^[a-zA-Z''-'\s]{1,40}$ but it doesn't work with hypenated surnames
[15:17] <daniel> I got a serious problem... all my /lib/terminfo is gone
[15:18] <Falatooni> Hi
[15:18] <daniel> I don't have any idea how I could restore them ;/
[15:18] <jiffe> anyone know why ifup on eth1 would work fine, but ifdown doesn't do anything, I can still ping the IP on that interface?
[15:18] <Falatooni> I want to run "ls" command in a specified time. Which command I sue? sorry for bad English?
[15:18] <SilentJonathan> yea when i go into the sound tab and use a custom sound and try to use the icon to play it doesnt work, default does
[15:19] <thecommutist> SilentJonathan: they are wav files alright, shouldn't be a problem
[15:19] <daniel> Falatooni: what do you mean? specified time?
[15:19] <ping0> anyone know how to make a ramdisk in ubuntu ?
[15:19] <Michalxo> Falatooni, imo something with cron for you, but never worked with it..
[15:19] <aeonoris> In the terminal, is there an effective way of finding out how many users are on the system, short of "who" and then counting them manually?
[15:19] <thecommutist> Falatooni: you can use the "at" command
[15:19] <azlon> how can i make my ppp0 connection my internet connection and not eth0?
[15:19] <Pici> chindu: Probably a better question for #regex or the language you're using
[15:20] <daniel> thecommutist, Michalxo, he will not see the output, though
[15:20] <n8tuser> jiffe -> confirm with /sbin/ip a  to see if interface is still up and has ip address?
[15:20] <Pici> azlon: who | wc -l ?
[15:20] <thecommutist> daniel: hmm
[15:20] <Falatooni> daniel: for example I want to run "ls" command in 18:52
[15:20] <SilentJonathan> thats very weird, maybe has to be specific bit-rate or something?
[15:20] <dos|equis> I have just turned on the visual effects "normal". Is this effects stable?
[15:20] <chindu> ok - thanks pici
[15:20] <daniel> Falatooni: Where should ls print it's output to?
[15:20] <Falatooni> daniel: I want to use "at" command
[15:20] <dos|equis> BTW, I'm using 8.04
[15:20] <n8tuser> azlon -> do you mean really a ppp connection or just rename eth0 to ppp0?
[15:21] <azlon> Pici, that returned 1
[15:21] <BassKozz> When creating SSH key's to use for access to a remote server, if I use a password when I generate the key will I need to use that password EVERYTIME I log on to the remote server or once per day?
[15:21] <thecommutist> SilentJonathan: are you selecting the right event, for example, "Log In"
[15:21] <jiffe> it still shows 'inet <IP_ADDRESS>/24 brd <IP_ADDRESS> scope global eth1'
[15:21] <Falatooni> daniel: I used "at 18:82 ls" but it seems this syntax is wrong
[15:21] <Pici> azlon: wc -l counts the number of lines,
[15:21] <bobbob1016> Anyone know of an legal flac music downloading service?  Subscription based hopefully
[15:22] <azlon> n8tuser, i have a eth0 which is wired to a router, then to other machines in the house. i also have a ppp0 which is my 3G connection (where my internet comes from). when i have eth0 enabled (or plugged in) i cannot use the internet.... everything times out
[15:22] <Pici> bobbob1016: Not really on-topic for this channel, try #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:22] <azlon> Pici, oh that is because i had to disable my eth0 so i could use the internet and ask the question in here
[15:22] <jiffe> it does show state down
[15:22] <jiffe> but the IP still pings
[15:22] <n8tuser> azlon think about it for a minute, if you were a packet and have two ways to get out, ppp0 and eht0, which would you take?
[15:22] <jiffe> is that expected behavior?
[15:23] <Pici> azlon: Sorry, I mistabbed my response, it wasn't for you :)
[15:23] <Pici> aeonoris: who | wc -l ?
[15:23] <thecommutist> daniel: what if he issues the command at virtual console
[15:23] <azlon> n8tuser, i understand that, but i need it to take the other route (ppp0)
[15:23] <bobbob1016> Pici: Thanks, I knew it was off-topic-ish, was going to say ubuntu-compatible, but figured it was redundant
[15:23] <dos|equis> Could someone tell me if the "normal" visual effects is stable.
[15:23] <rschttan> j/ #ububtu-offtopic
[15:23] <n8tuser> azlon -> then you have to do something in your iptables or routing..
[15:23] <azlon> n8tuser, how can i make ppp0 the primary? i will need to share ppp0 with the other machines on the network, but i will tackle that hurtle after this
[15:23] <aeonoris> Pici, thanks
[15:24] <SilentJonathan> thecommutist, yes, i think its the bit rates
[15:24] <jiffe> this is the output of ip addr: http://jiffe.com/ip
[15:24] <n8tuser> azlon -> can you draw us your network layout?  is your box acting as a router?
[15:24] <azlon> n8tuser, hrmm... can you point me to a site that explains it? i have been searching all day
[15:24] <honey^moon> k
[15:24] <azlon> n8tuser, ok, give me a sec
[15:26] <jiffe> the only way I can seem to get eth1 to stop responding to ping requests to <IP_ADDRESS> is to reboot it
[15:26] <n8tuser> jiffe think about it for a minute, if you were a packet and have two ways to get out, ppp0 and eht0, which would you take?  also pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces file
[15:27] <azlon> n8tuser, my server (Ubuntu 9.04) has my RAID-5, RAID-1 and printer. i have a lan connection (eth0) and a 3G connection (ppp0). i have a cable going from the server to a wifi router (laptops connect via wifi). from the router i have 2 machines wired (both windows). i want the other machines to be able to access the media on the RAID drives and the internet from the server.
[15:27] <jiffe> I'm not talking about which way to go out, <IP_ADDRESS> shouldn't exist if eth1 is down, correct?
[15:28] <n8tuser> azlon i cant easily follow that, drawing drawing please.. pix speaks loudly
[15:28] <azlon> hrmm
[15:28] <azlon> ok, give me a sec

[15:32] <jiffe> n8tuser: http://jiffe.com/route

[15:40] <jiffe> n8tuser: whats wrong with that?
[15:40] <n8tuser> jiffe think about it for a minute, if you were a packet and have two ways to get out, eth1 and eht0, which would you take?
[15:40] <brotkasten> hi, is there a way to tell sshd something like a client idle timeout?
[15:41] <jiffe> n8tuser: yeah that makes sense
[15:41] <jetienne> q. is it safe to update 9.04 now ?
[15:41] <n8tuser> jiffe remove the cable from eth1 and ping it again from another machine not from same box.. and see what happens
[15:41] <jiffe> n8tuser: so I want to configure eth0:77 or something similar I am guessing then
[15:41] <mysticdarkhack> 9.04 is safe
[15:42] <Madkiss> hi
[15:42] <ubox> anyone know much about mac keycodes?
[15:42] <ubox> i need the one for alt/option
[15:42] <woodyjlw> need help finding a program, sorry if this is wrong room to ask in.  want a program for my ubuntu that can rip dvd movies into iso so I can store and play them from PC. google isnt helping, probably ause I am not asking the right question.
[15:42] <n8tuser> jiffe -> you have to manipulate the iptables/route tables when having two interfaces on same subnet
[15:42] <ubox> is it just Alt_L
[15:43] <benh1> brotkasten: Set the "ClientAliveInterval" variable in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[15:43] <brotkasten> benh1: this only works if the tcp connection is down ... not idle
[15:45] <ubox> if i am using RIGHT_CLICK="-right 29 272" # Control key + mouse click, to set right click with ctrl what should i change to use alt/option?
[15:45] <crankharder> hmm, so elinks can't read my routers admin pages now -- because it doesn't support JS?  are there other text browser sthat might do the trick?
[15:45] <chrisw1> woodjlw: dvdrip - it's in the ubuntu repos
[15:45] <ldlework_> Hey guys - I'm attempting to reconfigure my new Ubuntu install from yesterdays power-strip "failure" :) I'm trying to get synergy to work again. I'm using Ubuntu as the server and windows as the client. I can start it and it works but I'm attempting to get synergy to work at the login screen. I have performed all "Server" related steps on this : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynergyHowto page but Synergy is not auto startin
[15:45] <woodyjlw> chriswl thanks :)
[15:46] <chrisw1> woodyjlw: no problem :)
[15:46] <homy> Hi! I am trying to pop up a kdialog from a script run automatically by udev (when a usb drive is plugged in). Now, that doesn't work. I know the udev script is run, because I can touch files fine (although their owner is root then). Can anybody help me?
[15:47] <azlon> n8tuser, ok, finally finished the diagram: http://diagrammr.com/edit?key=dil5dSTFrGI
[15:47] <jiffe> n8tuser: alright, using subinterfaces works
[15:47] <n8tuser> jiffe am glad it works for you
[15:48] <jiffe> n8tuser: I think the reason we had tried a real physical interfaces was because the IP is shared between 2 machines, and when we manually ifdown on one and ifup on the other, arp seems to take a long time to update
[15:48] <Dr_Willis_> homy:  Theres some X security things that keep  other users (or root even i think) from just poping up progams/windows/dialogs on other peoples X desktops.
[15:48] <Dr_Willis_> homy:  and thats about all i know on that topic.:) good luck
[15:48] <n8tuser> azlon -> your server is also acting as a router?
[15:48] <homy> Dr_Willis_: oh. I thought root was all-powerful.
[15:49] <Dr_Willis_> homy:  try it with a simple terminal and xterm or some other from the console.
[15:49] <crweb2> you can popup apps on other peoples desktops. You just have to know what the display id is
[15:49] <Dr_Willis_> homy:  login to X as user.. login as root on console.. try to run somthing :) You at least have to export the DISPLAy or tell the progrma the proper DISPLAy. then th eX security stuff comes into play
[15:50] <crweb2> DISPLAY=":0" firefox
[15:50] <Dr_Willis_> some apps take a DISPLAY argument also :)
[15:50] <homy> If I do kdialog --msgbox ok on the console, it says "kdialog: cannot connect to X server"
[15:51] <Dr_Willis_> xhost i recall is a command to tweak the X security settings also
[15:51] <woodyjlw> chriswl would there be any reason for some of my dvds not to play in ubuntu? do they encode rental movies to only work in some dvd players or do I need to look for a better dvd player program? im on an hp laptop with a dvd burner that dose work and has played dvd's under windows before
[15:51] <ubox> no one knows the keycode for alt/option key on mac keyboard?
[15:51] <Dr_Willis_> woodyjlw:  rentals should be the same.   Ive had comercial dvds that crash windows.. but play on linux :)
[15:52] <jimcooncat> a while back, I was moving firefox and thunderbird amond displays, and I HAD to specify --display within the command. Just setting the DISPLAY environment variable wasn't enough.
[15:52] <Dr_Willis_> jimcooncat:  moving? from one X server to another? or what exactly
[15:53] <woodyjlw> lol it is strange that windows plays the movie but ubuntu dose not
[15:53] <Dr_Willis_> woodyjlw:  do ANY dvd's work?
[15:53] <jimcooncat> Dr_Willis_ wrong choice of words. *Starting* it on a different display
[15:53] <woodyjlw> some do some dont
[15:53] <Dr_Willis_> jimcooncat:  :) ok..  there is a tool to move them  But its flakey
[15:53] <Dr_Willis_> woodyjlw:  with what player?
[15:54] <woodyjlw> movie player,  that comes with ubuntu 8.10
[15:54] <Dr_Willis_> woodyjlw:  Eww.. ditch that one :) use mplayer or vlc.
[15:54] <Dr_Willis_> woodyjlw:  i hate the default player on ubuntu.
[15:55] <spazlon> n8tuser, sorry, i got disconnected... last thing i saw was you asking if my server was also acting as a router
[15:55] <Dr_Willis_> woodyjlw:  and you did install the decss stuff?
[15:55] <Dr_Willis_> !dvd
[15:55] <woodyjlw> oh cool I will try that thanks for the info :)
[15:55] <Zzeiss> What's the drawing program that has the library of shapes that include things like flowchart symbols?
[15:55] <Dr_Willis_> woodyjlw:  i even use vlc or mplayer on windows.
[15:55] <n8tuser> spazlon -> your server is also acting as a router?
[15:55] <Dr_Willis_> !info dia
[15:55] <woodyjlw> not the decss stuff , you may have to explain
[15:55] <saml> how can I stop apache from being started at start up?
[15:55] <saml> i only want to manually start
[15:55] <Zzeiss> Dr_Willis: Thanks!  installing now....
[15:55] <azlon> n8tuser, no, it connects to the router and shares media to the other PCs on the network
[15:56] <Dr_Willis_> woodyjlw:  theres  restrcited files you need to install to get comercial dvds to play normally.
[15:56] <sunshinepants> saml: chkconfig apache off
[15:56] <saml> sunshinepants, thanks
[15:56] <Dr_Willis_> restricted files. :)
[15:56] <woodyjlw> are they in repository?
[15:56] <saml> there's no such command
[15:56] <n8tuser> azlon -> but you also want the clients to reach the internet via your server?
[15:56] <azlon> n8tuser, when i have both eth0 and ppp0 enabled i cannot access the internet (even though it says connected). when i disable eth0 i can access the itnernet
[15:57] <azlon> n8tuser, eventually, but i have to be able to use the internet while eth0 is enabled first. i have read quite a few sites explaining how to enable ICS, but i havent made it that far yet
[15:57] <nibbler_> azlon: most likely a routing issue
[15:57] <azlon> nibbler_, i have this same problem on all my ubuntu machines, but works like a charm on windows
[15:57] <n8tuser> azlon -> then you need to correct the route table when you have both eth0 and ppp0 enabled
[15:58] <azlon> nibbler_, where should i look for resolution?
[15:58] <woodyjlw> where do I find the restricted files? or what are they named?
[15:58] <azlon> n8tuser, where can i find information on this?
[15:58] <Dr_Willis_> woodyjlw:  check tha turl the bot posted whenb i said !dvd
[15:58] <Dr_Willis_> !dvd
[15:58] <azlon> n8tuser, i have been searching the ubuntu forums all day
[15:58] <woodyjlw> oh ok
[15:59] <Dr_Willis_> woodyjlw:  its in somne packages froim the medibuntu repository
[15:59] <n8tuser> azlon -> remember my question about having dual nics? which route should it take to get to the destination?
[15:59] <Dr_Willis_> !medibuntu
[15:59] <azlon> n8tuser, yeah... how do i change that?
[15:59] <n8tuser> azlon -> your clue here is gateway
[15:59] <nibbler_> azlon: i need info about: ifconfig and route -n on server and router, ip nets used in all the segments, firewalling info of router and server
[16:00] <azlon> nibbler_, can i message you?
[16:00] <nibbler_> azlon: mhm ok
[16:00] <n8tuser> azlon -> share it with everyone so everyone can share the learnings?
[16:00] <nibbler_> azlon: would be preferred here, yep
[16:00] <azlon> well i just didnt want blast stuff in the chat
[16:00] <homy> Dr_Willis: hey: with "xhost +" and using "kdialog --display :0" it works!
[16:00] <azlon> ok
[16:01] <azlon> let be get a pastebin going
[16:01] <n8tuser> azlon -> use the pastebin to post large
[16:02] <azlon> n8tuser, nibbler_, brb.... i have to enable eth0 for the ifconfig paste, but when i enable i will lose connection... so brb
[16:02] <Moon_Doggy> is their any way to make synaptic package  manger faster
[16:02] <homy> Howcome udev executes my script about 7 times when I plug in my usb drive?
[16:02] <homy> BUS=="usb", SYSFS{serial}=="AA04012800007435", SYMLINK+="backupusb", RUN+="/home/christoph/Desktop/backupscript.sh"
[16:04] <n8tuser> homy how did you determined it was running your script 7 times?
[16:05] <nh2> someone with a freshly installed Jaunty around? I need to know the original contents of /etc/hosts
[16:06] <lifesengine> how can i tell if i have an oss or alsa sound device?
[16:06] <n8tuser> nh2 -> you can also try booting the livecd and look at same file?
[16:06] <mw44118> n8tuser:
[16:06] <woodyjlw> awesome now my dvd's are all playing under ubuntu :)  many thanks :)
[16:06] <mw44118> nh2: $ cat /etc/hosts
[16:06] <mw44118> <IP_ADDRESS>       localhost
[16:06] <azlon> nibbler_, i have just a generic linksys router... what info do you need from it since i cant run any commands on it
[16:06] <Dr_Willis_> lifesengine:  oss is pretty much dead these days.. alsa can emulate oss  - i recall if needed...
[16:06] <nh2> n8tuser: already thought about that, but not sure if it is equal compared to the one after a real installation
[16:06] <lifesengine> Dr_willis_ im having trouble knowing what to set my outputs to in audacity
[16:07] <lifesengine> the audacity channel is empty and never helpful
[16:07] <n8tuser> nh2 -> should be pretty close
[16:07] <nh2> mw44118: thanks, is it only one line long or is there also a second one beginning weith <IP_ADDRESS>?
[16:07] <Dr_Willis_> lifesengine:  alsa or pulse - i guess.. what options does it allow?
[16:07] <nibbler_> azlon: maybe we can ignore the router for now....
[16:07] <homy> n8tuser: I have it pop up a kdialog everytime it is run.
[16:08] <n8tuser> nh2 also make sure your /etc/hostname  corresponds
[16:08] <nibbler_> azlon: as your problem is on the server, i i got you right? you enable eth0 and server cant access inet anymore?
[16:08] <azlon> nibbler_, correct
[16:08] <homy> And then I count the number of kdialogs popping up.
[16:08] <seidos> lifesengine: I know Audacity uses JACK, which I Think is neither Alsa, Pulse, or OSS
[16:08] <nerdy_kid> hey guys, how to i control an X server runing gdm from tty1-6?  what display whould it be; :0 doesnt work thanks
[16:08] <ubox> does anyone know the codes used by mouseemu for keys?
[16:08] <n8tuser> homy then you need to correct your script, to check if its already running, then dont start it again
[16:09] <ubox> more specificaly the equivalent of Alt_L
[16:09] <lifesengine> Dr_Willis_: yeah, i have tons of AlSA options
[16:09] <homy> n8tuser: isn't that just a bad workaround?
[16:09] <azlon> nibbler_, i have them on different subdomains if that is what you are wondering about. machines are on 192.168.0.x and router is on 192.168.1.x
[16:09] <lifesengine> seidos is there another recording option for music that is coming out of my speakers?
[16:09] <n8tuser> homy nope, its not a workaround, unless you expect your script to be really run several times..
[16:09] <azlon> nibbler_, brb again... have to check on eth0 again
[16:09] <seidos> lifesengine: in prefs -> sounds it might work to test what driver works for sound playback.  ie select Alsa, click test sound, select oss, click test sound
[16:10] <nh2> n8tuser: yes it does, but on some of my systems, my hostname is only in the second line, on others, on the first and on the second and I've no idea why
[16:10] <seidos> lifesengine: no, not that I know of.  Audacity is supposed to be great, if you get to work.
[16:10] <nerdy_kid> how do i control an X server on tty7 from tty1-6?  what display whould it be; :0 doesnt work
[16:10] <nerdy_kid> how do i control an X server on tty7 from tty1-6?  what display whould it be; :0 doesnt work
[16:10] <homy> n8tuser: uhm, I mean: I plug in my usb drive. then, udev is supposed to run my script once. But it runs it seven times. That doesn't have to do anything with the script, so changing it is a bad workaround. Maybe the udev rule I'm using is wrong?
[16:10] <n8tuser> nh2  well make sure /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname are correspondingly correct
[16:11] <Kamujin> strace
[16:11] <castis> okay dudes. question. i have a server that hosts a few different domains, got virtual hosting working no problem. now im having difficulty wrapping my head around hostnames and such. trying to set u email and i need to know the fqdn. i have multiple domains pointing at this box. what the hell is my fqdn?
[16:11] <lifesengine> seidos: i dont see any test options
[16:11] <ShaneN> What is the proper method of adding a program to bootup?
[16:11] <Kamujin> (mistyped)
[16:11] <seidos> lifesengine: I think JACK is a different sound api(?) for low latency audio applications
[16:11] <seidos> !jack
[16:11] <Dr_Willis_> ShaneN:  depends on the program and what its doing.
[16:11] <seidos> !audacity
[16:11] <n8tuser> homy  yah it just supposed to run it once,
[16:11] <ShaneN> Dr_Willis_: It is a Mono background process
[16:11] <lifesengine> seidos: isn't JACK new?
[16:12] <nanotube> ShaneN: if it's a guy program that needs gnome to be running, then stick it into your session startup. if it's a daemon, then use /etc/init.d
[16:12] <lifesengine> seidos: this computer im using is from 04
[16:12] <Dr_Willis_> ShaneN:  for a user? or a system service?
[16:12] <seidos> lifesengine: I don't know how new it is
[16:12] <ShaneN> Dr_Willis_: System service
[16:12] <nanotube> ShaneN: then /etc/init.d it is
[16:12] <seidos> lifesengine: in prefs -> sound on the right side there are four test buttons
[16:12] <Dr_Willis_> ShaneN:  lazy/fast/dirty way - start it from rc.local or make a proper init script for it
[16:12] <ShaneN> nanotube: Figured as much, but wanted to verify
[16:12] <ShaneN> Thanks guy
[16:13] <ShaneN> guys*
[16:13] <lifesengine> seidos: preferences is under edit
[16:13] <seidos> lifesengine: there is probably a how to somewhere, for Audacity/JACK.  what sound card do you have?
[16:13] <lifesengine> seidos: and theres no sound tab
[16:13] <nanotube> ShaneN: np :) as dr_willis_ says, sticking it into rc.local is the "quicker" way.
[16:13] <azlon> nibbler_, back
[16:14] <nibbler_> azlon: did you nopate it?
[16:14] <lifesengine> seidos:  Card: Dell Sound Blaster Live!                                               Ōöé
[16:14] <lifesengine> Ōöé Chip: SigmaTel STAC9708,11
[16:14] <seidos> lifesengine: I'm talking about in Ubuntu's gnome panel, system -> prefs -> sound to answer your original question of whether you have alsa/oss/or pulse audio
[16:14] <seidos> let me see if I can find a how to somewhere for audacity/jack
[16:14] <azlon> nibbler_, http://pastebin.com/m329fc76f
[16:14] <nerdy_kid> how do i load nvidia settings to x from command line?
[16:14] <Dr_Willis_> nerdy_kid:  gksudo nvidia-settings   you mean?
[16:15] <nibbler_> azlon: your default gateway points to eth0
[16:15] <azlon> nibbler_, im totally new to this... where did you see that?
[16:15] <nibbler_> azlon: and this is the problem. you should only have a route for connected network (<IP_ADDRESS>/16 stuff) via this interface. if you have a gateway set in /etc/network/interfaces for eth0, remove it, comment it out
[16:16] <nerdy_kid> Dr_Willis i want to run it from cmd line so i can implant it in my kdm script, but nvidia-settings -l -c :0 wont work, say no display connection x(
[16:16] <lifesengine> seidos: thanks a lot for the help
[16:16] <nibbler_> azlon: line 38 shows that connections to <IP_ADDRESS> with mask <IP_ADDRESS> (so all connections) go via <IP_ADDRESS>
[16:16] <Dr_Willis_> nerdy_kid:  its an X gui app to config the xorg.conf.. I dont know what your command is supposed to do.. but one normally dosent run stuff that way.
[16:16] <lifesengine> seidos: something interesting, all the tests work except sound capture
[16:16] <seidos> lifesengine: you're trying to record sound from your speakers, let me try it in audacity to see if it works for me
[16:16] <Dr_Willis_> nerdy_kid:  kdm has a feature to run a command  at launch/exit I belive
[16:16] <lifesengine> seidos: sound capture, nothing will play in any of the tests
[16:17] <seidos> lifesengine: using alsa?
[16:17] <nibbler_> azlon: all connections which are not cought by a more specific route that is. if you disconnect eth0 you should see another route, with the p2p partner of your ppp0 devic or smth.
[16:17] <azlon> nibbler_, ok, now i only have auto lo and iface lo inet loopback in my interfaces file
[16:17] <lifesengine> seidos: all of them, i tried alsa, pulse, etc...i get zero sound on the test for sound capture
[16:17] <nibbler_> azlon: dont remove eth0 from the interfaces file, just remove its gateway!
[16:17] <homy> Does anybody know why the script for the following udev rule is run multiple times when I plug in the corresponding usb drive? BUS=="usb", SYSFS{serial}=="AA04012800007435", SYMLINK+="backupusb", RUN+="/home/christoph/Desktop/backupscript.sh"
[16:17] <azlon> nibbler so how can i change the router to default through ppp0?
[16:17] <nerdy_kid> Dr_Willis_ yeah, tried that, it crashes X; i cant run the gui without loging in, and i need it to run before
[16:17] <hamid635> salut
[16:18] <climax64> hallo
[16:18] <climax64> ich habe eine frage zur partitionierung
[16:18] <Dr_Willis_> nerdy_kid:  why do you even need to do this?
[16:18] <homy> !de | climax64
[16:18] <seidos> lifesengine: interesting.  it sounds like your card is supported by all the apis(?).  I'm not sure if api is the right word...
[16:19] <climax64> sorry I'll go to the german channel
[16:19] <seidos> lifesengine: so it's probably supported by JACK too
[16:19] <azlon> nibbler_, this is what i had before: http://pastebin.com/m415d865c and i removed lines 7 and 8... is this correct?
[16:20] <nerdy_kid> Dr_Willis_ in order to apply my settings, i have to run nvidia-settings, then restart kwin because the opengl sync option was set after kwin was started, thus i need it to start before i login lol
[16:20] <nibbler_> azlon: this does not affect eth0, so why did you remove it? this is the complete interfaces file? where is eth0 definitions?
[16:20] <nibbler_> azlon: how did you bring up eth0?
[16:21] <azlon> nibbler_, that is what shows when i edit my interfaces file. i brought up my eth0 by typing ifconfig eth0 up
[16:22] <azlon> nibbler_, i put lines 7 & 8 in there when i was reading some forums... but it didn't make a difference (obviously)
[16:22] <nibbler_> azlon: ok i see, there is a dhcp server on your router, and that configures your eth0 and replaces the default route. setup your eth0 in interfaces file then
[16:22] <Dr_Willis_> nerdy_kid:  err.. I run nvidia-settings as root.. and save the changes to the xorg.conf file - that way they are used by default when X starts...
[16:22] <nibbler_> azlon: servers should have a static setup, and not a dhcp adress. i need to leave now
[16:22] <azlon> nibbler_, uhmm... kind of
[16:22]  * Dr_Willis_ thinks nerdy-kid is not running the tool as root...
[16:23] <azlon> nibbler_, right now i have the 3G modem plugged into my mediacenter-pc running windows and sharing the internet via ICS
[16:23] <n8tuser> homy -> can you paste your script that launches a gui you said?  lets see if its in a loop 7 times?
[16:23] <azlon> nibbler_, that pc has DHCP... but i am not using the routter's DHCP
[16:23] <nibbler_> azlon: you should use your linux pc as router and maybe dhcp server, and let the router you have now just be a switch
[16:24] <azlon> nibbler_, that is my goal, but i need to get this other part working first
[16:24] <nerdy_kid> Dr_Willis_hmmm will try thanks, as i just crashed X xP
[16:24] <nibbler_> azlon: well, i can tell you your eth0 problems are due to the dhcp of your eth0.... so setup eth0 statically and it will work. good luck and cyas ;-)
[16:24] <homy> #!/bin/bash
[16:24] <homy> # Usb Backup script.
[16:24] <homy> kdialog --display :0 --msgbox ok
[16:24] <homy> Thats it.
[16:24] <homy> n8tuser: ^^
[16:25] <n8tuser> homy not sure how udev triggers that 7 times, always 7 times not 3 or 20 sometimes?
