[00:00] <njbair> Where does Ubuntu stash the ACPI settings? I set my Power Management preferences to never suspend and hit "Make default" but the login screen still suspends after a while of idle.

[00:01] <lukey> Posted to (#ubuntu, #gnome, #radeonhd) Hello folks, apologies for the multiple post, but would anyone know howto force the gnome-panel to use the second monitor, I will update with answers which come from the other channels.
[00:04] <jrwcox> Can i get some help? i have a brother MFC240C, printer driver has been installed, status is processing, accepting jobs, but won't actually print. I am using ubuntu 9.01
[00:04] <lukey> hi jrwcox do you mean ubuntu 9.10 karmic koala?
[00:05] <enovativ> i am using ubuntu 9.04, and how can I tell if my bluetooth is working in ubuntu ?
[00:05] <enovativ> i have a gateway laptop
[00:05] <jrwcox> lukey: no Jaunty...sorry 9.04
[00:06] <lukey> jrwcox, ok.
[00:07] <lukey> jrwcox, Have you seen; http://www.techsupportforum.com/alternative-computing/linux-support/385021-installed-printer-driver-mfc240c-does-not-work.html
[00:07] <vr_mex> Please help installing ruby1.86 have this problem http://paste.ubuntu.com/300133/
[00:07] <lukey> jrwcox, the answer is put by the final poster.
[00:08] <Bookman> What is the current, fully updated Ubuntu 9.04 revision level?
[00:08] <Bookman> kernel level
[00:08] <lukey> jrwcox, please let me know if this does not help and I can check further.
[00:08] <bastid_raZor> Bookman: 2.6.28-16
[00:08] <NerveClasp1> Hello! I have a question: can I somehow run two separated windows of wine in ubuntu? two separated proceses of wine?
[00:08] <Bookman> thanks bastid_raZor
[00:08] <jrwcox> lucky: okay, I will try in just a sec
[00:08] <lukey> NerveClasp1, hi there - what are you trying to accomplish? Running different applications and games?
[00:09] <lukey> NerveClasp1, You could perhaps try running them as a different user?
[00:09] <enovativ> how can i test if my bluetooth is working on my laptop that has ubuntu 9.04
[00:09] <enovativ>  ?
[00:09] <ahmed> gfdt
[00:10] <NerveClasp1> lukey, frankly I want to run WoW in two windows in order to have possibility to play with two characters at the same time
[00:10] <lukey> ah I see.
[00:10] <NerveClasp1> lukey, so I don't think, that two users will be good, as I need to swith often
[00:11] <NerveClasp1> *switch
[00:11] <lukey> Hi NerveClasp1 you can run a command as a different user from the command line did you know?
[00:11] <lukey> You wouldn't have to make a seperate Ctrl-Alt-Fx session if that's what you mean?
[00:11] <NerveClasp1> ideal thing would be two windows of wine on separate workspaces
[00:12] <Itaku> is it possible to make network logins that can sync with a USB flash drive?
[00:12] <NerveClasp1> oh! I didn't think of that!)) thnx!!!
[00:13] <Itaku> anyone?
[00:13] <MarkGil> Real obvious question time, but one I can't figure out.  How do I tell (from CLI) from version of a program I have
[00:13] <MarkGil> apt-cache search xxxx does not tell me
[00:14] <usser> MarkGil, most program have -v or --version switch
[00:14] <vr_mex> Please help installing ruby1.86 have this problem with apt-get :  http://paste.ubuntu.com/300133/
[00:15] <usser> MarkGil, ie wine --version will tell you the version
[00:16] <MarkGil> and if it's PHP scripts and non executables?
[00:16] <lukey> hi MarkGil, usser is correct also you can do: lukey@Lynysys:~$ dpkg -p xchat | grep Version
[00:16] <lukey> MarkGil, usser this will show the version of the package.
[00:17] <lukey> MarkGil, usser I hope this helps but if not please let me know.
[00:18] <ctmjr> lukey: : dpkg -l xchat does the same thing less typing more info
[00:19] <Itaku> i want to setup my schools computer network to run on ubuntu, but i need to know how to make all the accounts on one server computer, make all the computers login to their account over a network
[00:19] <lukey> ctmjr, Ah yes - that's much nicer!
[00:19] <Itaku> anyone know how to do this?
[00:19] <ctmjr> lukey: : thought you might like it
[00:19] <jrwcox> luky:Score....it's printing....ty so much
[00:20] <lukey> jrwcox, no worries glad to help
[00:20] <jrwcox> Lukey: I have been trying to get help all day, and no one could figure it out....awesome
[00:21] <lukey> jrwcox, I used "google.com/linux"
[00:21] <lukey> jrwcox, and I typed "brother MFC240C jaunty" it was the first result :D
[00:22] <Raydiation> how can i setup a wlan connection with my wlan router in terminal? essid: foobar, wpa2
[00:23] <vr_mex> Please help installing ruby1.86 have this problem with apt-get :  http://paste.ubuntu.com/300133/
[00:23] <lukey> vr_mex, sorry do you still need help with the problem?
[00:23] <lukey> vr_mex, sorry
[00:23] <lukey> vr_mex, we typed at the same time I think
[00:24] <lukey> vr_mex, Can you paste what happens when you do: Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] Y
[00:24] <lukey> instead of  Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] q
[00:24] <vr_mex> yes I need help with this please  http://paste.ubuntu.com/300133/
[00:24] <jrwcox> lukey: go figure the one place I don't look:-D
[00:24] <lukey> jrwcox, aint that always the way.
[00:24] <Itaku> who here can help a 4500+ network administrator?
[00:25] <lukey> Itaku, hi there.
[00:25] <lukey> Itaku, I will research for you.
[00:25] <vr_mex> lukey, I would imagine it will install ruby1.87 since that is waht it says at the bottom of my paste...
[00:25] <isabel575> how can i remove/purge evolution?
[00:26] <Itaku> k so, im a technology directer at a school district, and i got passed to make all the computers linux, so how would i go about making a network login account for 4500+ users and make it automatically sync with a flash drive?
[00:26] <isabel575> evolution mail that is
[00:26] <Itaku> director*
[00:26] <lukey> vr_mex, I understand that you are trying to install ruby1.87 instead of ruby1.86, is this correct?
[00:26] <rjune> Itaku, where you at in MI?
[00:26] <ctmjr> isabel575: sudo apt-get --purge remove evolution
[00:26] <vr_mex> lukey, no the other way arround i want ruby1.86 installed
[00:26] <Itaku> do i really have to say?
[00:27] <lukey> vr_mex, ok thank you.
[00:27] <rjune> Itaku, I'm in northern, IN, kinda curious is all
[00:27] <rjune> up by south bend
[00:27] <Itaku> not giving out that information
[00:27] <vr_mex> Please help installing ruby1.86 have this problem with apt-get :  http://paste.ubuntu.com/300133/
[00:27] <lukey> vr_mex, which ubuntu are you running, I will find a pacakge.
[00:27] <rjune> You'll want to use LDAP for the network auth stuff
[00:27] <isabel575> is there a list of apps that you can't delete from the ubuntu default or that you shouldn't or it'll cause damages to the system?
[00:27] <Itaku> lol lukey is my quesiton too hard or something?
[00:27] <rjune> flash drives *should* be formatted vfat, no user id syncing required
[00:28] <Itaku> thing is right now, we use god awful macs, and its setup to login via a network, and sync with the network and flash drive at login/logout
[00:28] <vr_mex> lukey, please read the post http://paste.ubuntu.com/300133 it is more involved than just looking for a pkg...
[00:28] <powerjuce> is there a way to work with raw files made with dd? i made a raw file of a disc, can i make it into an iso?
[00:28] <Itaku> and students can save work to their flash drive and take it home
[00:28] <lunatic> join #ubuntu-beginner-help
[00:28] <rjune> Itaku, sync what?
[00:28] <Itaku> sync all data, desktop icons, history
[00:28] <Itaku> plain out everything
[00:28] <rjune> syncs the user's home directory to the flash?
[00:28] <Itaku> yup
[00:28] <lukey> Itaku, yes for me I think :) I am glad more knowledgable folk have since answers because it is good to learn this too.
[00:29] <lukey> answered*
[00:29] <Itaku> agh, i got till jan 1st 2010 to get all computers in the district to ubuntu
[00:29] <Itaku> so i want to start ASAP
[00:29] <rjune> if the kid does not have their thumb drive, do they still have full access?
[00:29] <rjune> Itaku, how many computers?
[00:30] <Itaku> rjune, yeah, it uses network login, so it just wont get synced to the flash drive, but to the network, and next time they use their usb drive, itll get synced to it
[00:30] <isabel575> is there a list of apps that you can't delete from the ubuntu default or that you shouldn't or it'll cause damages to the system?
[00:30] <Itaku> and around 3000 computers
[00:30] <rjune> Interesting setup.
[00:30] <rjune> LOL
[00:30] <rjune> and you have until Jan 1st?
[00:30] <Itaku> Yup...
[00:30] <rjune> running on the Mac hardware? or are you getting all new hardware?
[00:30] <bastid_raZor> Itaku: #ubuntu-server may help too.
[00:30] <Itaku> I got like 100 copys of ubuntu burnt already
[00:31] <rjune> how many people do you have?
[00:31] <Itaku> counting all students K-12 and staff, 4,500 ish
[00:31] <rjune> No, I mean in your department.
[00:31] <Itaku> oh in the tech department
[00:31] <Itaku> 38
[00:32] <Itaku> i got some voulenteers too so, it wont be too bad
[00:32] <Itaku> im pretty sure I can do it
[00:32] <rjune> Itaku, Look at network imaging, don't bother burning CDs or making bootable flash drives.
[00:32] <rjune> that's for starters.
[00:33] <Itaku> we're gonna just take all the computers down in december for the transition, theres a 2 week break there so its minimal time
[00:33]  * laclasse seconds that
[00:33] <Itaku> aww really?
[00:33] <doltek> How do I mount my blackberry?
[00:33] <rjune> Itaku, yes, really.
[00:33] <Itaku> doltek, just plug it in i do belive
[00:33] <laclasse> Itaku, yes, what hardware? MAcs?
[00:33] <Itaku> it worked for me fine
[00:33] <Itaku> yeah macs
[00:33] <Itaku> they can install ubuntu right?
[00:33] <rjune> Itaku, what do you use for central auth now?
[00:34] <rjune> Itaku, Newer ones probably, older ones, maybe not.
[00:34] <laclasse> Itaku, so students currently save their work / desktop and have a mac home too? You realize that desktop linux will be different?
[00:34] <rjune> PPC might be problematic.
[00:34] <Itaku> yup we just got newest of the newest
[00:34] <rjune> You just bought 3k macs to run ubuntu on?
[00:34] <Itaku> and all students got a 2GB flash drive, 500MB windows formatted, 1.5GB mac formatted
[00:34] <laclasse> hopefully its intell cause ppc version of ubuntu was dropped
[00:34] <doltek> The Icons show up, but I try to open them and I get an errot message
[00:35] <Itaku> it's intel
[00:35] <rjune> Itaku, You just bought 3k macs to run ubuntu on?
[00:35] <Itaku> we originally got mac's for mac
[00:35] <Itaku> but then, 2 months into the school year, we realize its crap
[00:35] <rjune> so why switch?
[00:35] <ack_syn> lol
[00:35] <ack_syn> I hate ubuntu
[00:35] <rjune> *sigh*
[00:35] <ack_syn> slackware rules o//
[00:36] <Itaku> takes about 10 minutes to sync 1MB
[00:36] <rjune> Itaku, You can setup a logout script to do rsync.
[00:36] <Itaku> so its a very long login
[00:36] <rjune> but I don't think that syncing the desktop like that is a good idea.
[00:36] <Itaku> why not?
[00:36] <rjune> sorry, syncing hte home directory.
[00:36] <Mavs> anybody with experience on netboot?
[00:37] <Itaku> well still why not?
[00:37] <rjune> 1.  Switching is fine, however reproducing the 'integration' of macs particularly if you were using some of their server software is going to require a fair bit of work. You need pxe / network deployment, clever dhcp setup, preseed and gold images, printer set up, LDAP everywhere ... possibly a few moddle servers ...
[00:37] <rjune> 3. What happens when a file gets modded on both the server and the flash drive?
[00:37] <Itaku> oh im getting ubuntu server too
[00:38] <rjune> laclasse, moodle is irrelevant, either he has it now or he doesn't. that doesn't factor into this.
[00:38] <Itaku> rjune, then it gets modded on the server and flash drive
[00:38] <laclasse> Itaku, look at ebox to automate and administrate things on the server side (its built on ubuntu)
[00:38] <Itaku> you mean different modifications
[00:38] <laclasse> rjune, er sure, it does help making a good case for linux tho.
[00:38] <rjune> Itaku, try to sync them both. which one takes precidence
[00:38] <Itaku> right now, server wins
[00:38] <Itaku> we realized thats a bad problem
[00:39] <NerveClasp> sorry, but how do I run commands from the name of another user?
[00:39] <rjune> laclasse, does ebox not suck now? last I looked it was mostly useless
[00:39] <rjune> NerveClasp, sudo; man sudo for help, I can't tell you more right now, involved with something else
[00:39] <usser> NerveClasp, su - <username> -c "command"
[00:39] <rjune> or that.
[00:39] <Itaku> i knew sending stuff to do on the computers at once wouldnt be a problem
[00:39] <laclasse> rjune, for administering ldap, it has an ok interface, but if you know something better with ease of use in mind ;-)
[00:40] <rjune> yeah, Novell
[00:40] <laclasse> sure, $$$
[00:40] <rjune> cheaper then the macs
[00:40] <laclasse> then let's go OpenView ;-)
[00:40] <usser> laclasse, rjune how about Mac server with opendirecory :)
[00:40] <rjune> then likely cut his tech requriments in half.
[00:40] <Itaku> we originally planned to use macs, but the macs suck
[00:41] <rjune> laclasse, do you have any idea the cost of Novell?
[00:41] <enovativ> how can i test if my bluetooth is working on my laptop that has ubuntu 9.04
[00:41] <Itaku> im not really concerned about the macs
[00:41] <lukey> Itaku, they are good for a fashion statement I think.
[00:41] <laclasse> rjune, erm, i work for canonical, so yes. I do.
[00:41] <Itaku> we got a $$55 bond last year, we got the money
[00:41] <rjune> laclasse, ok, then you know that for a school, Novell is dirt cheap.
[00:41] <Itaku> im not worried about in buying new computers, when these macs we got last summer work fine, except for what i need it for
[00:42] <rjune> Itaku, anyway, to solve your problem.
[00:42] <rjune> You'll need network provisioning, g4u might handle that ( laclasse chime in here if ebox handles any of this stuff)
[00:42] <krummlauf> hi
[00:42] <krummlauf> i fixed my ubuntu
[00:42] <krummlauf> now what do i do
[00:43] <rjune> Itaku, that'll let you dump out an image to all the systems.
[00:43] <Itaku> i couldnt imagine its too hard to setup network logins on linux
[00:43] <Itaku> and im pretty sure theres a way to transfer over mac users to linux
[00:43] <rjune> If they're workstations, you'll want to use OpenLDAP for auth, eBox works for that, I use Gosa myself.
[00:43] <Itaku> or i'd just get a script to
[00:43] <rjune> Itaku, data is easy, scp. configuration... not so much
[00:44] <laclasse> rjune, heh i used g4u in the past ... but now i like clonezilla too ;-)
[00:44] <c4pt> Itaku: transfer mac users over with what utility?
[00:44] <rjune> Additionally, you'll want to setup profiles to restrict access to various things. are you using KDE or GNOME?
[00:44] <laclasse> rjune, not sure bout ebox, i have custom pxe setup in the lab
[00:44] <Itaku> the way im thinking how it is, just put all the computers on the domain, and setup the server to be where the usernames are
[00:44] <rjune> laclasse, me too.
[00:44] <rjune> and it's been 3 years since I was admin for a school.
[00:45] <Itaku> ive been tech director for 5 years
[00:45] <rjune> Itaku, if you're using KDE, you need to learn about kiosktool.
[00:45] <Itaku> and right now, we're the first district in the country to use flash drives
[00:45] <rjune> If you're using GNOME, I think Sabyon is what you want.
[00:45] <Itaku> yeah im using gnome
[00:45] <NerveClasp> usser, thank you)
[00:45] <Itaku> KDE is too messy
[00:45] <Itaku> and gnome has that professional look
[00:45] <rjune> Gosa supports pushing some of that stuff out to workstations, don't know about ebox. I don't use that part myself.
[00:46] <Itaku> especially 9.10
[00:46] <rjune> You'll probably want to look into cfEngine though.
[00:46]  * laclasse likes preseed+puppet
[00:46] <rjune> that'll at least let you run specific commands on the systems. you can do the fire and forget
[00:46] <Itaku> ok and, please tell me i can set server permissions on all the computers right?
[00:46] <rjune> Itaku, cfEngine + Sabyon should do it.
[00:46] <Itaku> because we've already had problems where students found out out to play halo on the computers somehow
[00:47] <Itaku> and had to block it
[00:47] <Itaku> so cfengine and sabyon?
[00:47] <Itaku> are those apt packages?
[00:47] <rjune> Itaku, cfengine is.
[00:47] <rjune> sabyon might not be the right tool
[00:47] <usser> Itaku, jeez man, mount your client's home partitions with noexec, no need to reinvent the bicycle here
[00:48] <rjune> usser, push access control profiles for GNOME.
[00:48] <Itaku> and cfengine has to be installed on the server right?
[00:48] <rjune> and the workstations
[00:48] <Itaku> oh fun
[00:48] <rjune> there's an agent that runs on the workstations.
[00:48] <rjune> Itaku, it's doable. I've done it.
[00:48] <xxploit> exit
[00:48] <usser> rjune, what access control profiles, to control what?
[00:48] <Itaku> 3000 computers?
[00:48] <Itaku> by jan 1st?
[00:48] <rjune> I had a network of 325 computers all by my lonesome.
[00:48] <rjune> Itaku, Give me a week, I could come up with a plan to do it.
[00:49] <usser> rjune, the way i have it here, is, fluxbox with a custom ~/.fluxbox dir with read only permissions, noexec for /home, and ssh to administer/push all the updates to the boxes
[00:49] <rjune> usser, how many systems?
[00:49] <Itaku> right now im planning to take down the student network in the month of december
[00:49] <Itaku> and the last half of the month take down the entire network
[00:49] <usser> rjune, about a 100
[00:49] <rjune> LOL
[00:49] <Itaku> because teachers still need to be able to do grading
[00:49] <rjune> usser, he's got 3k
[00:50] <raeldenk> hi all
[00:50] <rjune> Itaku, I think you could get away with doing rolling blackouts as you migrate rooms / labs
[00:50] <Itaku> oh you think this is one building?
[00:50] <Itaku> its 7 different buildings
[00:50] <rjune> nope
[00:50] <Itaku> and some schools, have like, 2 rooms with computers
[00:51] <rjune> I think you're best off doing one building at a time as much as you can.
[00:51] <raeldenk> how can i choose the file to download between all torrent files with rtorrent
[00:51] <usser> rjune, hm... ok, you could setup your own repository, set client to autoupdate, and push whatever updates you want through deb/apt-get
[00:51] <Itaku> the K-2 grades dont need 5 computer labs
[00:51] <rjune> usser, getting closer.
[00:51] <usser> rjune, can pretty much do whatever you want
[00:51] <NerveClasp> sorry again, but I need to run this "wine /media/GAMES/Games/WoW/Wow.exe -opengl" under one user from the name of the other.. I tried "su -c wine /media/GAMES/Games/WoW/Wow.exe wowdub
[00:51] <NerveClasp> unknown id: /media/GAMES/Games/WoW/Wow.exe"
[00:51] <rjune> usser, he's asking how to do it
[00:52] <rjune> Itaku, he brings a good point I assumed and didn't mention.
[00:52] <rjune> self host
[00:52] <krummlauf> ok
[00:52] <krummlauf> so i got flash to work
[00:52] <krummlauf> and i have xchat
[00:52] <krummlauf> what else should i get?
[00:52] <FloodBot3> krummlauf: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:52] <Itaku> is there an easy way to put cfengine on all the computers at once?
[00:52] <krummlauf> im in the club guys!
[00:52] <Itaku> rather then going to each computer one by one?
[00:52] <krummlauf> :D
[00:52] <rjune> Itaku, put it in your install image.
[00:52] <Itaku> oh theres a way to edit the image?
[00:53] <rjune> Uhm, ya
[00:53] <NerveClasp> can anybody help?
[00:53] <usser> Itaku, ssh -C `cat clients.txt` apt-get install cfengine
[00:53] <rjune> Itaku, another thing I've done is setup a dummy package that deps all the software I want. install it, everything I want gets sucked in.
[00:53] <Itaku> well i have to clock out in 7 minutes
[00:53] <usser> Itaku, ssh -C `cat clients.txt` "apt-get install cfengine" sorry
[00:53] <Itaku> how would i add that to the image?
[00:54] <rjune> Off the top of my head I don't know.
[00:54] <usser> Itaku, assuming you have ssh with public/private keys setup on the clients
[00:54] <carbm2> I have a local server that runs Samba to share my home directory and my data directories.  I am making my TRUE switch to Ubuntu now with 9.10 but I'm slightly confused on the best method to mount my shares on my laptops.  I've used sshfs to mount my Documents but the overhead is a bit much.  I also know I could just smbmount the shared but is there a *nix type like NFS I should be using?
[00:54] <redsnyper> Ok, I am having a hard time getting my sound to work on UBUNTU, anyone help me?
[00:54] <rjune> Itaku If you have any openings, I'm looking for new employment
[00:55] <usser> carbm2, smb should be quite enough, with all due respect nfs is a little aged
[00:55] <BlackFate> carbm2, samba is just fine
[00:55] <redsnyper> ip address
[00:55] <Itaku> we dont right now
[00:55] <usser> Itaku, hey me too :)
[00:55] <NerveClasp> my newly created user cannot mount images of existing ntfs filesystem.. how to do it?
[00:55] <redsnyper> hello
[00:55] <redsnyper> I need help installing my sound on my laptop via UBUNTU.
[00:55] <webbb82> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[00:55] <webbb82>   prism: Depends: xulrunner-1.9.1-dom-inspector but it is not installable
[00:55] <webbb82> when i try to install prism
[00:55] <raeldenk> hi guys
[00:56] <rjune> Itaku, If you were close to the Indiana border, I would have volunteered to help. like I said, I'm near SB
[00:56] <redsnyper> :-/
[00:56] <Itaku> i'll tell you what you two, give me some kind of info, email msn aim or something and i can get in touch with you when there is one.
[00:56] <Mavs> anybody with experience on netboot?
[00:56] <rjune> Itaku, PM your way
[00:56] <webbb82> how do i fix broken packages
[00:57] <BlackFate> webbb82, Synaptic> edit > fix broken packages
[00:57] <Mavs> nobody?
[00:57] <carbm2> Does anybody know if its possible to mount a SMB share without having to have my password in the script? Thats why I like the sshfs because I use keybased passwordless login.
[00:57] <rjune> Mavs, done some LTSP, what do you need?
[00:58] <Itaku> alright guys im out, thanks a bunch
[00:58] <BlackFate> !anybody Mavs
[00:58] <BlackFate> !anybody | Mavs
[00:58] <Itaku> i'll be back tomorrow probably
[00:58] <Mavs> rjune, I'm trying to use netboot to install karmic
[00:58] <rjune> Mavs, ok.
[00:58] <rjune> What's the failure?
[00:58] <Mavs> but tftp is giving me file errors
[00:59] <rjune> what errors?
[00:59] <Mavs> File <ubuntu-installer\i386\boot-screens\stdmenu.cfg> : error 131 in system call ReadFile An attempt was made to move the file pointer before the beginning of the file.
[00:59] <whodevil> is there a doc on upgrading early?
[00:59] <intlautoparts> ok why does my wireless card work with freespire with no config and xubuntu doesnt even see it
[00:59] <iholst> How do I change the icon of a launcher to one of my own images?
[00:59] <rjune> Mavs, have you googled that error?
[01:00] <rjune> I dont' recognize it straight off.
[01:00] <Mavs> yes
[01:01] <rjune> Mavs, windows server?
[01:01] <Mavs> yes
[01:01] <webbb82> http://pastebin.com/m7e94e917
[01:01] <rjune> At first glance, it looks like it's a server can't find the file type of error
[01:02] <LordQuackstar> Has anyone tried to boot ubuntu using the PLoP boot manager?
[01:02] <perlsyntax> Does ubuntu 9.10 have a cpan in it apt-get?
[01:02] <rjune> Mavs, i have to go to dinner
[01:02] <iholst> does anyone know how to change the icon of a launcher?
[01:02] <Samus_Aran> can someone tell me what in the world Ubuntu's partitioner actually *DOES* when it sits there for minutes "scanning the partition table" ?  there is no scanning needed, fdisk -l takes 1 second for 10 disks, Ubuntu's magical partitioner takes 4+ minutes
[01:02] <Mavs> ok, I'll try from ubuntu
[01:03] <rjune> I would verify that you can download the file from the server manually
[01:03] <perlsyntax> i mean for perl
[01:03] <mazda01> can someone please look in /lib/oss-compat/linux and tell me if there is a file that is symlinked to /etc/modprobe.d/oss-compat.conf? i am getting a failure to install a new kernel image. here's a pic   http://img259.imageshack.us/my.php?image=linuximage.png
[01:03] <Mavs> the file is there
[01:03] <charlie5> hi all ... any ideas on why evolution 'send/receive' button shoulf 'faded out' ? ... the system installed a new kenrell yesterday, and today my mail is well an truly broken :/
[01:03] <Samus_Aran> perlsyntax: CPAN allows Perl modules to be installed from source.  there's no way apt-get can install source like that.  it does however have dozens of popular Perl modules that can be installed directly from apt-get
[01:04] <Samus_Aran> perlsyntax: you can run cpan yourself to install modules not available through apt-get
[01:04] <charlie5> hmm, never mind why ... how can i fix it ? ... :)
[01:04] <perlsyntax> i look in apt-get andtype in cpan and nouthing came up.
[01:05] <iholst> does anyone know another good ubuntu help channel?
[01:05] <perlsyntax> do i have to install it?
[01:05] <perlsyntax> i did this
[01:05] <Samus_Aran> perlsyntax: it's part of Perl
[01:05] <perlsyntax> ok
[01:05] <LordQuackstar> Ok, does anyone know if using PLoP to load ubuntu on an external usb hard drive will give me write access?
[01:05] <perlsyntax> maybe i stay with fedora.
[01:05] <durt> iholst, there is #kubuntu and #xubuntu for those specific versions.
[01:06] <Samus_Aran> perlsyntax: what's the problem ?  CPAN is not a program, it's a Perl module, it is installed when you install the "perl" package
[01:06] <Samus_Aran> perlsyntax: same as on any other distro
[01:07] <Samus_Aran> perlsyntax: perl -MCPAN ...
[01:07] <perlsyntax> i know what it is
[01:07] <Samus_Aran> perlsyntax: so then why are you asking for a cpan program ?
[01:07] <raeldenk> hi all
[01:07] <perlsyntax> thanks
[01:07] <raeldenk> how can i choose the file to download between all torrent files with rtorrent ?
[01:07] <durt> LordQuackstar, nothing to do with PLoP, IIRC. Depends on the grub options on the usb external.
[01:08] <LordQuackstar> durt: where does IIRC fit into this?
[01:08] <Samus_Aran> raeldenk: what do you mean ?
[01:08] <durt> raeldenk, BkSp, then tab to auto complete
[01:08] <Samus_Aran> LordQuackstar: IIRC = If I Recall Correctly
[01:08] <durt> LordQuackstar, IIRC--If I Remember Correctly... :)
[01:08] <LordQuackstar> durt: and how do i configure the grub options on my external? Its just a straight boot that unetbottin made
[01:08] <LordQuackstar> ah
[01:09] <raeldenk> Samus_Aran, i want just one or two files in this torrent and would not downloads others !
[01:09] <Samus_Aran> perlsyntax: try: perl -MCPAN -e shell, then use "help"
[01:09] <xocite> If I download 9.10beta can I easily upgrade to the final version?
[01:10] <Samus_Aran> xocite: in theory
[01:11] <LordQuackstar> durt: This is why i'm asking: http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html#faq0. It says dos dosen't have write, but i was just wondering if the external linux would
[01:11] <bastid_raZor> xocite: yes, just do updates as usual and it will be up to date at final release
[01:11] <Samus_Aran> raeldenk: do you know how to get to the files screen of rtorrent ?
[01:11] <raeldenk> durt, Samus_Aran  in the torrent there is 5 files and i just want two of them, so how can i disable the download of the 3 others ?
[01:11] <raeldenk> with rtorrent
[01:12] <chomwitt_> what's the shortest routr in order to manage user accounts centrally  in a server in a lan ?
[01:12] <durt> LordQuackstar, hmmm, my usb flash drive has a grub stage....made with unetbootin
[01:12] <Samus_Aran> raeldenk: select those files with ctrl+click, then right click on one of them and set the priority to "do not download"
[01:12] <durt> raeldenk, highlight with up-down arrow and ctrl-d to stop, another ctrl-d to remove.
[01:14] <bastid_raZor> chomwitt_: #ubuntu-server may be the best place to look.
[01:14] <Samus_Aran> does anyone know what in the world Ubuntu's partitioner actually *DOES* when it sits there for minutes "scanning the partition table" ?  there is no scanning needed, "fdisk -l" takes 1 second for 10 disks to gather the same information as Ubuntu's magical partitioner which takes 4+ minutes
[01:14] <raeldenk> i'm using rtorrent there is not clicks
[01:15] <chomwitt_> bastid_raZor: thanks!
[01:15] <javier__> Hi
[01:15] <javier__> How i change mi nick?
[01:15] <Samus_Aran> raeldenk: however you set the priorities, set it to "do not download".  try spacebar
[01:15] <J2bv16> Ready
[01:15] <J2bv16> ??
[01:16] <charlie5> nm, evolution somehow switched to 'work offline' mode ... re-setting to 'work-online' and all is well
[01:16] <J2bv16> HOla
[01:16] <CrawfordComeaux> I'm planning on repartitioning my HD to dualboot win7. I have ubuntu in an ext3 partition and a separate partition for swap. How should I backup my data?
[01:16] <J2bv16> Hallo
[01:16] <bazhang> J2bv16, hi
[01:16] <CoUrPsE> raeldenk, With utorrent active window, just use down/up to select your torrent, you will see 3 *'s along the side of the file to indicate which one is selected.
[01:16] <durt> raeldenk, open another terminal and read, 'man rtorrent' for the full scoop.
[01:16] <bastid_raZor> !backup | CrawfordComeaux ..take your pick>
[01:16] <J2bv16> How are everyone here?
[01:17] <raeldenk> the space work for the files !
[01:17] <bazhang> J2bv16, did you have an ubuntu support question
[01:17] <J2bv16> No
[01:17] <J2bv16> Im here just for talk
[01:17] <bazhang> J2bv16, random chat in #ubuntu-offtopic thanks
[01:17] <J2bv16> Well
[01:18] <Samus_Aran> CoUrPsE: they said rtorrent, not utorrent
[01:18] <raeldenk> thank you for the help it works :D
[01:18] <Samus_Aran> raeldenk: welcome
[01:18] <CoUrPsE> raeldenk, Ctrl+s will start a torrent, ctrl+D will stop, Ctrl+dd will stop/remove,  A limit 50, S Limit 10 D limit 1, Z Decrease limit 50, S Decrease limit 10, C Decrease limit 1, using Shift with the throttle fucntions will change upload throttle instead of download throttle.
[01:18] <J2bv16> im running Xubuntu with the kernel 2.6.30
[01:18] <lunatic> hey anybody knows how to fix synaptic package manager in jaunty if it can't download updates? i can only use apt-get, bc synaptic has trouble connecting or downloading
[01:18] <CoUrPsE> Samus_Aran, I know, this is why i told them how to use rtorrent, and not utorrent.
[01:18] <xocite> Samus_Aran: what do you mean 'in theory'?
[01:18] <Samus_Aran> CoUrPsE: "<CoUrPsE> raeldenk, With utorrent active window..."
[01:18] <bazhang> xocite, it will be fine
[01:18] <CoUrPsE> ahh right, i put wrong name in, i was talking bout rtorrent.
[01:18] <J2bv16> in a laptopt with a 192 ram and 800mhz p3
[01:19] <J2bv16> And is very slow with the swap
[01:19] <Blehk> Samus_Aran: I think that the ubuntu version is supposed to look pretty and lag so it feels more like windows
[01:19] <Samus_Aran> xocite: that means "it should".  upgrades in Ubuntu are not always perfectly smooth, though they are supposed to be.  my recommendation is before you do any distro-upgrade to turn off the repositories such as multiverse/universe/and other personal ones
[01:20] <KnifeySpooney> Is there any way to align window titlebar text to the left using something in Gnome or a compiz plugin?
[01:20] <raeldenk> :)
[01:20] <CoUrPsE> Anyone getting packages to update from synaptic called poppler or something, which are unauthicated ?
[01:20] <Samus_Aran> Blehk: it is ridiculously awful how long it takes, and if you do almost anything in the partitioner, it again rescans for minutes
[01:20] <Nikus_Pokus> Hello everybody
[01:20] <KnifeySpooney> hi
 i did
[01:21] <Samus_Aran> Blehk: the last partitioner I used that was that bad was MS-DOS FDISK, which would slowly scan the partition table each time you did something
[01:21] <CoUrPsE> lunatic, you know if they are trusted packs?
[01:21] <Nikus_Pokus> I have a little problem: each time i start my computer I uncheck the wireless network. Anyone know how to fix it permanently
[01:21] <lunatic> CoUrPsE no idea only got them today=). what do they do?
[01:22] <Samus_Aran> Nikus_Pokus: I recommend using wicd for managing your network, it's way better than Gnome Network Manager
[01:22] <Ryan_> Hello
[01:22] <CoUrPsE> lu
[01:22] <J2bv16> Spanish help?
[01:22] <CoUrPsE> lunatic, Donno, was asking before i installed them.
[01:22] <CoUrPsE> lol.
[01:22] <KnifeySpooney> Nikus_Pokus: Which is your problem, the wireless network is getting unchecked by itself or you have to uncheck it to keep your adapter working on the next boot?
[01:22] <make_up_yor_mind> ive got the source code to something and was just wondering what I should do with it
[01:22] <Nikus_Pokus> May be but i don't really want to unistall Network Manager
[01:22] <Ryan_> Can someone  help me find out why I can't install Ubuntu?
[01:22] <durt> J2bv16, #ubuntu-es
[01:23] <bazhang> J2bv16, in #ubuntu-es ; /join #ubuntu-es
[01:23] <J2bv16> Thx
[01:23] <Samus_Aran> Nikus_Pokus: okay, then be comfortable with things being unusable and broken on a regular basis ...
[01:23] <Blehk> Anyone have a suggestion on whether to use Mysql proxy (and lua), or sqlrelay (so I can use python! :D)? I'm trying to setup a proxy solution for my databases but I can't seem to find any really "real" suggestions. Most suggestions are about the way the app makes them "feel". And even that doesn't tell me anything.
[01:23] <J2bv16> you dont want me here
[01:23] <J2bv16> lol
[01:23] <bazhang> Ryan_, using which method
[01:23] <lunatic> CoUrPsE they have smth to do with pdf reader i think=). nothing crashed yet
[01:23] <Nikus_Pokus> All work fine, but i don't need of the wireless network all the time. So I want it to be unchecked at startup
[01:24] <durt> Blehk, if no one answers here I suggest #ubuntu-server
[01:24] <Samus_Aran> Blehk: I would try a more general channel like ##Linux or possibly ##Networking
[01:24] <Blehk> Thanks guys, I'm in the wrong spot.
[01:24] <mazda01> can someone please look in /lib/oss-compat/linux and tell me if there is a file that is symlinked to /etc/modprobe.d/oss-compat.conf? i am getting a failure to install a new kernel image. here's a pic   http://img259.imageshack.us/my.php?image=linuximage.png
[01:24] <Blehk> heh
[01:24] <Ryan_> I made a boot disk, partitoned my HDD and then tried to install on reboot. When I try to install, it freezes.
[01:25] <jrwcox> Can I get help for running a DVD on ubuntu 9.04
[01:25] <bazhang> Ryan_, did you md5 the iso; burn at low speed and run the disk integrity check
[01:25] <CoUrPsE> lunatic, I googled something about security vulnability to DoS.
[01:25] <make_up_yor_mind> ive got the source code to something and was just wondering what I should do with it
[01:25] <mazda01> jrwcox, and what's your question?
[01:25] <CoUrPsE> But couldnt get any results specfic to the updates that were done.
[01:25] <durt> !dvd | jrwcox
[01:25] <crohakon> make_up_yor_mind;  install it? hehe
[01:25] <CoUrPsE> lunatic, Ta for the re-assurance.
[01:25] <crohakon> make_up_yor_mind;  compile it?
[01:25] <Ryan_> md5? I used isorecorder at 25x speed.
[01:25] <KnifeySpooney> Nikus_Pokus: create a duplicate file of /etc/network/interfaces called /etc/network/interfaces2
[01:26] <make_up_yor_mind> how do you do that
[01:26] <linuxman410> does anyone here have trouble with the game yoville on facebook running under ubuntu
[01:26] <crohakon> make_up_yor_mind; What is the source for?
[01:26] <apparle> hi
[01:26] <lunatic> CoUrPsE how do i pm someone by the way? been years since i used irc last
[01:26] <mazda01> linuxman410, i have issues with scrollbar in farm town and fish world, yes
[01:26] <CoUrPsE> /query nickname will open a empty query.
[01:26] <make_up_yor_mind> its for this
[01:26] <KnifeySpooney> Nikus_Pokus: Then type 'gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces' and comment out the line 'auto eth0'
[01:26] <CoUrPsE> /msg nickanme msg wil msg the user and it will open when they reply.
[01:26] <crohakon> make_up_yor_mind; for ubuntu?
[01:27] <make_up_yor_mind> https://www.ultravpn.fr/download.htm
[01:27] <apparle> lunatic: Type '/privmsg <username> <msg>'
[01:27] <bazhang> Ryan_, did you md5 the iso and do the disk integrity check?
[01:27] <Mondra> boa noite a todos
[01:27] <Ryan_> What is md5?
[01:27] <KnifeySpooney> Nikus_Pokus: Or if you do not see the line 'auto eth0', comment the line 'auto lo'
 Thanks, Im going to try
[01:27] <linuxman410> i can run everything but yoville and rollercoaster game
[01:27] <erUSUL> !br | Mondra boa noite
[01:27] <bazhang> make_up_yor_mind, dont paste that here
[01:27] <mazda01> Nikus_Pokus, NEVER comment out auto l
[01:27] <Ore-Sama> #ubuntu-br
[01:27] <mazda01> Nikus_Pokus, NEVER comment out auto lo
[01:27] <make_up_yor_mind> bazhang: why?
[01:27] <CoUrPsE> /query nickname will open a empty query, /msg nickanme msg wil msg the user and it will open when they reply.
[01:28] <CoUrPsE> erm.
[01:28] <Mondra> here is only in english?
[01:28] <CoUrPsE> ffs
[01:28] <Samus_Aran> KnifeySpooney: I'm pretty sure Ubuntu hasn't yet fixed the discrepancy where Gnome Network Manager does not use /etc/networking/interfaces at all
[01:28] <CoUrPsE> lunatic, ^^
[01:28] <CoUrPsE> Gave up tying tyo make it readable.
[01:28] <CoUrPsE> lol.
[01:28] <FloodBot3> CoUrPsE: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:28] <durt> Mondra, si
[01:28] <Samus_Aran> *network
[01:28] <CoUrPsE> :(
[01:28] <crohakon> make_up_yor_mind; So, OpenVPN?
[01:28] <mazda01> KnifeySpooney, never comment out the auto lo line, that's the loopback interface!
[01:28] <KnifeySpooney> Oh. Ok. Just worked off a thread and figured that was it
[01:28] <make_up_yor_mind> yes crohakon
[01:28] <make_up_yor_mind> i mean no
[01:28] <make_up_yor_mind> its their client
[01:29] <KnifeySpooney> Nikus_Pokus: actually do NOT comment out the 'auto lo' line!
[01:29] <isabel575> is it un-recommendable to uninstall firefox?
[01:29] <Mondra> ok, my first time here, and my english is bad :-)
[01:29] <Ryan_> Bazhang, what is md5?
[01:29] <make_up_yor_mind> crohakon: its called ultravpn
[01:29] <mazda01> can someone please look in /lib/oss-compat/linux and tell me if there is a file that is symlinked to /etc/modprobe.d/oss-compat.conf? i am getting a failure to install a new kernel image. here's a pic   http://img259.imageshack.us/my.php?image=linuximage.png
[01:29] <Samus_Aran> CoUrPsE: try to write complete sentences, rather than two word lines.  in a busy channel it is very hard to follow when people break their sentences up
[01:29] <Nikus_Pokus> if i comment auto lo in /etc/network/interfaces my network doesn't work anymore
[01:29] <make_up_yor_mind> bazhang: why not paste that here?
[01:29] <bazhang> !md5| Ryan_
[01:29] <mazda01> Nikus_Pokus, correct, that's the loopback interface, never comment that out!
[01:29] <bazhang> make_up_yor_mind, dont advertise here
[01:29] <KnifeySpooney> Nikus_Pokus: actually do NOT comment out the 'auto lo' line! Some of the other people here told me that wasn't right
[01:30] <crohakon> make_up_yor_mind; Do you want the client or server?
[01:30] <Nikus_Pokus> I just want my wireless network be uncheck at startup
[01:30] <durt> Nikus_Pokus, a lot of things won't work if you do that...
[01:30] <Ryan_> Thanks, Bazhang.
[01:30] <make_up_yor_mind> should i have posted a pastebin to the link, bazhang ?
[01:30] <durt> Nikus_Pokus, have you removed the entry from network-manager?
[01:30] <mazda01> Nikus_Pokus, remove the word auto from your wifi interface. wlan0 or ath0 or something like that
[01:30] <make_up_yor_mind> crohakon: I don't think we are on the same page
[01:30] <Samus_Aran> Nikus_Pokus: as I said, Gnome Network Manager is often broken.  also, the file /etc/network/interfaces is only used when you do not use one of the GUI network managers, e.g. on a server
[01:31] <bazhang> Ryan_, sounds like a corrupt iso or a bad burn
[01:31] <bazhang> make_up_yor_mind, what does this have to do with ubuntu support
[01:31] <isabel575> should i get rid of firefox? i want to, but i don't know if there are shared dependencies/libs and i don't want to mess up something, otherwise, how do i uninstall it?
[01:31] <matthew1> I know how to access my ext. hard drive as root but I hate doing it every time I want to drag and drop files. Is there a solution
[01:31] <taipan_> ljk
[01:31] <mazda01> isabel575, sudo apt-get remove firefox
[01:31] <make_up_yor_mind> bazhang: because i don't know what to do with source code IN UBUNTU
[01:31] <Nikus_Pokus> mazda01, how can I do that
[01:31] <Samus_Aran> matthew1: put your user into the group needed for hot-swappable disks
[01:31] <Ryan_> Do you have any suggestions for an optimal outcome for the whole thing?
[01:31] <crohakon> make_up_yor_mind; perhaps not. You want to use openvpn, as that is what you need to use on linux, correct? You have the source and you are not sure how to compile it?
[01:32] <apparle> mazda01: open it by 'gksudo nautilis'
[01:32] <Samus_Aran> mazda01: Gnome Network Manager doesn't use /etc/network/interfaces ...
[01:32] <bazhang> !compile > make_up_yor_mind
[01:32] <mazda01> Nikus_Pokus, gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces  then inside the file, look for your wifi interface, it'll be something other than eth0, make it so the line doesn't have auto in the beginning o fit
[01:32] <crohakon> !compile > crohakon
[01:33] <mazda01> Samus_Aran, i don't use network manager, it's crap. i only use the interfaces file
[01:33] <bazhang> Ryan_, certainly, once you get a good iso/burn should be okay; may take a bit (best to burn at less than 25x btw)
[01:33] <make_up_yor_mind> crohakon: did you look at the link i gave you?
[01:33] <Samus_Aran> mazda01: right, but the person you're trying to help *does* use it
[01:33] <Nikus_Pokus> Samus_Aran, I understood, but Network Manager store somewhere information about the activation of the wireless network at startup
[01:33] <Ryan_> Is isorecoder a good enough program to use?
[01:33] <bazhang> Ryan_, sure
[01:33] <Samus_Aran> Nikus_Pokus: not in /etc/network/interfaces, it's a registered bug that it doesn't use it.  last I checked, this bug has not been fixed
[01:34] <crohakon> make_up_yor_mind; yes, and it is only for win or mac. It says if you want to install via source on other operating systems you need to use openvpn
[01:34] <Moonraker12> Samus_Aran: KDE is broken all the time. The only problem ive found with the gnome network manager is that it can land in limbo and require the user to click on it to reestablish the connection (Even if its the only connection)
[01:34] <Ryan_> And downloading ubuntu form the site is ok?
[01:34] <apparle> Ryan_: what's the problem with brasero
[01:34] <Nikus_Pokus> in /etc/network/interfaces, there are only : auto lo \n iface lo inet loopback
[01:34] <Samus_Aran> Moonraker12: what does Gnome Network Manager have to do with KDE ?  nothing ...
[01:34] <bazhang> Ryan_, sure it is
[01:34] <mazda01> Nikus_Pokus, sorry, then I can't help you.
[01:35] <Moonraker12> Samus_Aran: Sure it does.
[01:35] <Samus_Aran> Moonraker12: I did not mention KDE vs. Gnome.  I said wicd is substantially better featured then GNM
[01:35] <durt> Samus_Aran, n-m has gnome and kde interfaces.
[01:35] <isabel575> mazda01, that didn't do it, i just opened firefox and it works
[01:35] <make_up_yor_mind> For the other operating systems supported, there are no precompiled binaries. You will have to get the source code for UltraVPN and its required libraries and build them yourself.    *You can also directly get the source code .
[01:35] <Samus_Aran> Network Manager is a broken POS.
[01:35] <matthew1> Samus_Aran...oh, lol, obviously. Thanks
[01:35] <Ryan_> Brasero is for Unix systems correct? I can only use a Windows system at the moment.
[01:35] <Moonraker12> Samus_Aran: You are anti one or the other, instead of anting the best from both.
[01:35] <Nikus_Pokus> mazda01, ok thanks
[01:35] <bazhang> Ryan_, isorecorder will do it fine
[01:36] <Ryan_> K, thanks.
[01:36] <Sia-> any alternative for  KDiff3 under ubuntu-gnome?
[01:36] <crohakon> make_up_yor_mind; Yes, the source you need to download is found at the openvpn website. Did you download the source from there?
[01:36] <True_TBird> Anyone know of an alternative to HDD Regen I can run from an Ubuntu LiveCD?
[01:36] <mazda01> isabel575, are you using firefox-3.5? go into synaptic and do a search for firefox. make sure firefox isn't running first with pgrep firefox at the command line. if it's running, kill it with sudo kill the firefox process number that showed up from pgrep. good luck
[01:36] <Samus_Aran> Moonraker12: huh ?  I don't care about Gnome vs. KDE in any way, shape or form.  someone had a problem with Gnome Network Manager and I suggested they try Wicd, which is less broken.  period.
[01:36] <Moonraker12> Samus_Aran: Such my giant Aran :)
[01:37] <saliak> I have an ubuntu box setup as my router.  all of a sudden, today, dhcpd seems to be giving out the wrong dns server addresses.. any idea how to fix that or why that would be happening?
[01:37] <Ryan_> Would any download process provide better results? i.e http vs. torrent
[01:37] <jrwcox> okay, still no luck trying to watch dvd
[01:38] <saliak> my server/router has the right dns servers, but my LAN clients have the wrong ones for some reason
[01:38] <mazda01> Ryan_, torrent will be faster!
[01:38] <carbm2> Ryan_,  torrent!!
[01:38] <Samus_Aran> Ryan_: better results for what ?
[01:39] <afeijo> I setup a virtual ubuntu to be my web server, everytime I run it, I have to login, and run sudo dhclient to get ip from my router :( what can I do to automatize it?
[01:39] <Ryan_> Yea, I meant about likelyness of corrupt data.
[01:39] <jrwcox> error: could not open this location, you may not have access to it.
[01:39] <Nikus_Pokus> Samus_Aran, thanks for your advice, I will try wicd
[01:39] <apparle> Ryan_: Then I think http is better.........
[01:39] <erUSUL> afeijo: set up /etc/network/interfaces
[01:39] <Samus_Aran> afeijo: edit the file /etc/network/interfaces, then it will be done automatically
[01:40] <Samus_Aran> afeijo: add a line with this: iface eth0 inet dhcp
[01:40] <Samus_Aran> afeijo: and make sure there is also this line: auto lo eth0
[01:40] <erUSUL> afeijo: two lines would be enough 1) auto eth0 2) iface eth0 inet dhcp
[01:40] <True_TBird> Any ideas on HDD Regen?
[01:40] <erUSUL> afeijo: given that eth0 is the interface you want to be configured
[01:40] <compintuit> Ohhh I hate it when mbr is killed..
[01:41] <Samus_Aran> Ryan_: HTTP offers no data validation, BitTorrent does.  however, there is often md5sums available for downloaded files, in which case it's just as safe as HTTP
[01:41] <compintuit> And your latest live cd won't boot
[01:41] <erUSUL> True_TBird: what does HDD Regen do ?
[01:41] <True_TBird> Alright then, how about this, how can I run chkdsk /R from Ubuntu LiveCD?
[01:41] <Z41d> hi
[01:42] <erUSUL> True_TBird: chkdsk /R ---> fsck -options /dev/sdxx
[01:42] <Ryan_> I have to say, linux users are way friendlier than those I find in Windows forums.
[01:42] <erUSUL> True_TBird: man e2fsck (to see the options aviable for ext3)
[01:42] <True_TBird> erUSUL: Its a bootable CD that doesn't even mount the filesystem and checks for corruptions on the HDD and repairs them
[01:42] <Z41d> will the karmic koala have vlc as the default player ?
[01:43] <bazhang> Z41d, ask in #ubuntu+1 for karmic support
[01:43] <True_TBird> erUSUL: but does fsck work with NTFS partitions?
[01:43] <nitemovz> Hello all
[01:43] <Z41d> it's not support just a question :P
[01:43] <ZykoticK9> Z41d, no vlc is not default player in Karmic
[01:43] <jrwcox> okay, so I can watch a movie I burned, but can't watch one i bought....
[01:43] <erUSUL> True_TBird: no is for linux filesystems. for ntfs is better to use windows native apps
[01:43] <compintuit> It should be
[01:44] <Z41d> ZykoticK9> oki thanks
[01:44] <nitemovz> I am looking for help on how to add another drive to my linux box
[01:44] <Ryan_> The ubuntu site only offers http. Where can I get a torrent?
[01:44] <nitemovz> I want it to mount to a specific folder, but that folder will have stuff in it.
[01:44] <bazhang> !torrents
[01:44] <nitemovz> How do I do this, without affecting the contents of the folder?
[01:44] <bazhang> Ryan_, ^^
[01:44] <True_TBird> erUSUL: I would love to do that, I know how to do it from Windows, but the drive won't boot to the Windows partition
[01:44] <Samus_Aran> jrwcox: you need to install the DeCSS library and a video player capable of using that library.  it isn't including with stock Ubuntu as it is not legal in many areas of the world
[01:44] <cxo> I did an upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 dev and now the spellcheck doesnt work in openoffice and in thunderbird?
[01:45] <bazhang> cxo, support for karmic in #ubuntu+1
[01:45] <mazda01> nitemovz, the folder you want it to mount to can
[01:45] <mazda01> 't have stuff in it, it won't be there anyway
[01:45] <erUSUL> True_TBird: the only tool i know is ntfsfix from ntfsprogs but its capabilities are not great
[01:45] <Samus_Aran> jrwcox: you can follow this guide to get DVD working: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs
[01:45] <erUSUL> !info ntfs-progs | True_TBird
[01:45] <erUSUL> !info ntfsprogs | True_TBird
[01:45] <nitemovz> This is a new webserver that I am setting up.
[01:45] <Ryan_> I hate being new to something. -
[01:45] <Ryan_> -__-
[01:46] <nitemovz> I am branching away from Mac X-Serve and want to start with the command-line server administration on linux
[01:46] <IRCIRC> #ubuntu-cat
[01:46] <stoosh> i made a upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 i386 on an old P4 Laptop with ati. I get a fully system freeze in the gnome desktop
[01:46] <make_up_yor_mind> crohakon i sent you a pm
[01:46] <stoosh> after about 2 mins
[01:46] <bazhang> !karmic | stoosh
[01:46] <True_TBird> erUSUL: The issue is that I am not sure Ubuntu will be able to use the wireless card on this computer, its an old computer and uses a Cardbus wireless card
[01:47] <stoosh> thany
[01:47] <stoosh> x
[01:47] <True_TBird> Does the LiveCD come with ntfsprogs?
[01:47] <erUSUL> True_TBird: do not think so.
[01:47] <apparle> !info ntfsprogs
[01:48] <Samus_Aran> Ryan_: you're new to far more things than you're not new to.  :)  just relax and learn.
[01:48] <adeelie42> I have a desktop with Ubuntu 9.04 / windows xp dual boot connected to a windows laptop. The desktop is wired to the laptop, and the laptop wired network is bridged to the wireless. Windows / Windows works fine, but Ubuntu won't get a network connection: Won't browse web or ping, but it can get an ip address via dhclient. Any help?
[01:48] <erUSUL> True_TBird: but you can run from the installed ubuntu ? the ntfs parition is umounted
[01:48] <True_TBird> Ubuntu is not installed, I am running it from the LiveCD
[01:48] <erUSUL> True_TBird: you can install things in the livecd
[01:49] <True_TBird> But will it need to access the net?
[01:49] <erUSUL> True_TBird: sudo aptitude install ntfsprogs
[01:49] <bazhang> True_TBird, to install? of course
[01:49] <erUSUL> True_TBird: you are ircing from another computer...
[01:49] <erUSUL> True_TBird: save the deb in pendrive ?
[01:50] <True_TBird> mm, alright
[01:50] <erUSUL> True_TBird: ntfsprogs should have no hard dependencies
[01:50] <nitemovz> so there is no way that I can provide more disk space for my server without setting up a brand new one?
[01:51] <geneticx> ~info
[01:51] <mazda01> nitemovz, mount the hdd somewhere in a random name, move the stuff from the folder you want to mount the hdd to, then once all is moved to the random name, change the mount point for the new hdd. get it?
[01:52] <True_TBird> and and I can check for the presence of the Windows partition using fsck correct?
[01:52] <mazda01> nitemovz, mount the new hdd to the old folder you wanted to mount it to is what I am saying
[01:52] <nitemovz> mazda01, I understand that
[01:52] <erUSUL> nitemovz: mazda01 nailed it
[01:52] <mazda01> nitemovz, good luck!
[01:52] <LordQuackstar> Are their any arguments for wubi in grub4dos? Wubi tries to load the menu.lst that powers grub4dos on hd0, not the menu.lst that powers ubuntu on hd2. How can i force it to look on hd2?
[01:53] <nitemovz> mazda01: thanks
[01:53] <mazda01> nitemovz, glad I could help
[01:53] <zorael> Does the lpia port run slower than a normal x86 installation? Or just draws less power?
[01:54] <hsarci> is there a way to get the firefox theme to look like the one that comes by default in windows?
[01:54] <nitemovz> a question for the community. I have a Dell Latitude LS Ultraslim laptop running a PIII processor... I have Ubuntu Jaunty installed on it, but the best resolution that I can get on it is 800x600... is there anything that I can do to make it use a better resolution so that I can actually see the buttons at the bottom of a window?
[01:54] <IRCIRC> quit
[01:54] <apparle> LordQuackstar: Wubi is I think a sort of Grub4dos and you can't put two grub4dos together
[01:54] <mazda01> nitemovz, what is the video card? lspci should show you
[01:54] <True_TBird> nietmovz: Are you sure the screen is capable of a higher resolution?
[01:54] <histo> zorael: Its designed for the atom cpu
[01:55] <Samus_Aran> adeelie42: how does your Windows laptop provide an Internet connection to the other Windows PC ?
[01:55] <zorael> histo: I have one of those. Would I benefit from the lpia port, then? (what's the difference?)
[01:55] <histo> zorael: http://lwn.net/Articles/247003/
[01:55] <apparle> hsarci: search in firefox themes
[01:55] <histo> zorael: thats an old article but should explain
[01:55] <LordQuackstar> apparle: then how can i put the boot options in the same menu.lst
[01:55] <zorael> histo: Thanks
[01:56] <apparle> by editing it ............as simple as that....... :)
[01:56] <histo> zorael: nvm that link is horrible let me find you something better

[01:58] <nitemovz> i am not sure what kind of video card it has.
[01:59] <True_TBird> erUSUL: Thanks for all the help
[01:59] <ctmjr> nitemovz: try lspci | grep -i vga
[01:59] <nitemovz> it returns nothing
[02:00] <erUSUL> True_TBird: no problem
[02:00] <histo> nitemovz: lspci | grep VGA
[02:01] <doc-saintly> Hi all, is there a generic sound troubleshooting guide? I get sound in some apps but not others
[02:01] <histo> nitemovz: is it possible that the max resolution on the LCD is 800x600 also?
[02:01] <histo> !sound > doc-saintly
[02:01] <raeldenk> does karmic boot in 10second ?
[02:01] <nitemovz> I get better resolutions on Windows when that was installed on it
[02:01] <histo> raeldenk: no
[02:01] <histo> raeldenk: #ubuntu+1 is for karmic discussion/supoprt
[02:02] <histo> nitemovz: okay so most likely an issue with video driver.
[02:02] <histo> nitemovz: If you open a terminal and type in lspci | grep VGA    it will show you the video card chipset
[02:02] <raeldenk> thx

[02:04] <KnifeySpooney> Why can't Ubuntu just shut down back to GRUB instead of restarting the computer? Just curious
[02:04] <doc-saintly> histo: no dice
[02:04] <d_b> A question about editing flac tags. I'd like to add several genres and doing this by separating by comma isn't very good since the genre becomes "Rock, Pop" not "Rock" and "Pop". I think you could add several genre tags with Foobar2000. Does anyone know if this is possible with EasyTag or some other tag editor?
[02:04] <bazhang> fido, dont advertise here
[02:05] <KnifeySpooney> fido: what song is playing right now?
[02:05] <nitemovz> okay, so I still cannot see anything about the videocard
[02:05] <fido> love generation
[02:05] <KnifeySpooney> ah
[02:06] <fido> why??
[02:06] <histo> doc-saintly: no dice on what?
[02:06] <KnifeySpooney> cool use of video
[02:06] <KnifeySpooney> nothing, i've just always wondered
[02:06] <fido> jejeeje
[02:06] <bazhang> !ot | fido

[02:07] <mtheorE_> anyone have ubuntu netbook on an aspire one d250?  if so does the external cdrom work out of the box?
[02:07] <histo> nitemovz: what does it say when you run that in a terminal it should list your video card
[02:07] <apparle> nitemovz: It will only be one or two line result just type it
[02:07] <histo> mtheorE_: a forum search might be the best option
[02:07] <histo> nitemovz: nvidia or ati?  or something else?
[02:07] <nitemovz> it is nvidia
[02:07] <histo> nitemovz: System > Administration > Hardware Drivers
[02:08] <histo> nitemovz: install the restricted drivers
[02:08] <mtheorE_> histo: i have been checking google but all i am getting is "does not inlude an optical drive" but thanks
[02:08] <nitemovz> sorry, typed that into the wrong computer... the video/audio card of the latitude is a 2.5MB NeoMagic256
[02:09] <mano-pc> e ai,beleza!
[02:09] <histo> mtheorE_: Have you tried it?
[02:10] <histo> mtheorE_: You can boot the install cd as a live cd and test your hardware out prior to installing.
[02:10] <apparle> mtheorE_: rather that searching for the netbook, rather search for the external drive you will be getting..
[02:11] <n8tuser> mtheorE -> there is also another way, using unetbootin to install  no need for external cddrive
[02:11] <apparle> mtheorE_: and you can do it through a USB flash drive also
[02:11] <bazhang> mtheorE_, you wish to install Ubuntu on it?
[02:11] <mtheorE_> n8tuser and histo thanks for the help

[02:26] <bastid_raZor> Lenin_Cat: i think you need to edit the file to tell it what has changed. i could be wrong but .. try it without editing to find out. if it doesn't work you know what you need to do.
[02:27] <xyz> afeijo; ya its free
[02:27] <apparle> burntresistor: and what do you get when you run alsamixer in terminal
[02:27] <afeijo> xyz, just remove both sda2 and sda4, increase sda1, and then create the new swap with 2 or 3 gb
[02:27] <bikedog> nobody wanstn to chat?
[02:27] <afeijo> xyz but I like to have a second part to /home
[02:27] <afeijo> with 40gb
[02:27] <Mark_> is there a way to see if my wireless card is enabled
[02:27] <ctmjr> Mark_: see if there is a switch for wifi on your laptop removing the battery might have turned it off
[02:28] <afeijo> Mark_ if it detect wifi networks...

[02:28] <bikedog> mark_: right click network icon, tick box should have "wireless enabled" ticked
[02:28] <xyz> afeijo; and in gparted i dont see any delete option
[02:28] <afeijo> xyz I have sda1 to /, and sda2 to /home, and sda5 to swap
[02:28] <Castawayz> if it can mount, and if it can read the harddrive space, is it safe to assume it then can be read and written to ?
[02:28] <apparle> burntresistor: check if it is muted........... you device is being detected to .....
[02:29] <Mark_> its checked
[02:29] <afeijo> xyz no delete? that is weird, what right click shows to sda5 ?
[02:29] <afeijo> oops, sda4

[02:29] <Mark_> is there a way to see if ubuntu can see the card?
[02:30] <tommost__> spider: I'm not really sure where to start.  Check whether the restricted drivers are in use?
[02:30] <afeijo> xyz if you accessed those partitions thru your file manager, as it is mounted, you might not be able to delete
[02:30] <xmonader> folks, statistics on ordered cds via shipit ?

[02:37] <xyz> afeijo; 1GB
[02:37] <afeijo> damn

[03:18] <racerx> anyone know how to stop a service in karmic since karmic removed sysvconfig?
[03:18] <zombu> uff you can get back into it by deleting the xorg file then reboot ubuntu will then use the standard driver and you can reinstall the nvidia driver
[03:19] <canthus13> Ah. I was wondering. I couldn't find a backup of xorg.conf
[03:19] <bazhang> !karmic | racerx
[03:19] <UglyBear> Would a 6gb partition shrink be enough for Ubuntu?
[03:19] <skiwithpete> I'm having problems installing add-ons for firefox

[03:19] <canthus13> UglyBear: Barely.
[03:19] <skiwithpete> anyone else having this problem?
[03:19] <canthus13> zombu: Nope. no bak.
[03:19] <bazhang> UglyBear, for the entire thing including home?
[03:19] <canthus13> I'll be back in a few. :)

[03:27] <racerx> anyone ever got huludesktop running? I get the channel selections but when I want to watch it gives me back "retry" or "cancel" because it is taking too long.
[03:27] <syam_> Later I have installed 'gpart' application in my ubuntu. And formatted the 4th partition to ext4 format as:
[03:27] <Edwardxp> its a new feature collborate
[03:27] <zombu> shrink the windows partition
[03:27] <bazhang> Edwardxp, is this related to ubuntu support ?
[03:28] <Edwardxp> its' ubuntu program
[03:28] <Edwardxp> abiword
[03:28] <zombu> did you break grub?
[03:28] <skiwithpete> zombu, ran traceroute...
[03:28] <skiwithpete> slow.. still only at 10
[03:28] <skiwithpete> 11
[03:28] <relajo> quick question
[03:28] <relajo> sorry Hello everybody can you help me with something
[03:29] <zombu> skiwithpete did the traceroute tell you where it has a hickup?
[03:29] <zombu> k
[03:29] <skiwithpete> it got to 11, then just started spitting out * * *
[03:29] <relajo> i have a 9.04 installation but i want to resize the partition but i cant
[03:30] <relajo> how can i go into single user and unmount the root partition and resized it
[03:30] <zombu> skiwithpete as long as it don t tell you destination unreachable it s ok
[03:30] <skiwithpete> then what is my problem?
[03:30] <zombu> the **** is just routers not returning icmp packets
[03:30] <skiwithpete> i stoped it, should I have let it keep going?
[03:30] <zombu> hmm firewalled apparmor can cause stuff like that too
[03:31] <zombu> i had wierd stuff happening with apparmor
[03:31] <syam_> Okay.
[03:31] <wbmj> relajo: it is easier if you boot into a LiveCD
[03:31] <UglyBear> There is an unallocated partition is that what linux will use?
[03:31] <zombu> how big is it
[03:32] <UglyBear> 5.86 right now.
[03:32] <UglyBear> gb
[03:32] <relajo> wbmj i know but i have a 8.04 cd and it doesnt read my ext4 partition
[03:32] <zombu> if you do an auto install ubuntu will use half of the free space for linux
[03:32] <relajo> UglyBear no thats why i want to resize it
[03:32] <relajo> zombu its not the case
[03:33] <zombu> o.0
[03:33] <zombu> hmm
[03:33] <relajo> i have a full partition of ext4 and i need 50gb so i can install windows on it keeping linux
[03:34] <zeno> relajo why windows?
[03:34] <relajo> but i cannot do it because the "single mode" boot mode wont letme unmount the root partition
[03:34] <Taenon> hahaha
[03:34] <skiwithpete> zombu, it still won't install anything
[03:34] <zombu> lemme have that link again
[03:34] <relajo> Zeno im as excited about windows as you are but its not my pc
[03:34] <canthus13> zombu: Woo. it worked.  Used envy this time.
[03:34] <zombu> ima check it from here
[03:35] <zombu> canthus you the guy with the nvidia driver right
[03:35] <zombu> ?
[03:35] <skiwithpete> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4490
[03:35] <canthus13> zombu: Yup.
[03:35] <zombu> good did you reinstall nvidia drivers
[03:35] <zeno> relajo so you can't install windows over linux?
[03:35] <enzotib> relajo: you should use a livecd, or a liveusb
[03:35] <canthus13> zombu: Yup. Used envyng this time.
[03:35] <UglyBear> What should I do? I have a 71mb EISA Config partition, a 2.5gb primary partition, a 10gb recovery, a 130.62gb OS, and a 5.86gb unallocated partition. Which one wil linux use?
[03:36] <zombu> arighty then
[03:36] <relajo> that really sux i didnt want to download it
[03:36] <relajo> i have a very bad conection
[03:36] <enzotib> relajo: i think it is the only option you have
[03:36] <Taenon> relajo: I remember bumming live-cd's off my friends in High School :D
[03:37] <zombu> i checked the firefox addon and it installs for me
[03:37] <relajo> Taenon i have a very old one that but is VERY outdated and doesnt support ext4
[03:37] <skiwithpete> ok, suggestions?
[03:38] <UglyBear>  What should I do? I have a 71mb EISA Config partition, a 2.5gb primary partition, a 10gb recovery, a 130.62gb OS, and a 5.86gb unallocated partition. Which one will linux use?
[03:38] <bazhang> relajo, what about 100mb gparted live cd
[03:38] <pckt> hello
[03:38] <relajo> UglyBear the one you select it will use
[03:39] <UglyBear> Will the installer let me choose?
[03:39] <enzotib> relajo: you can also look for other livecd distros with ext4 partition editor support, and with smaller footprint
[03:39] <anarki2004> time to go shred some scales...
[03:40] <UglyBear> Will the installer let me choose which partition to use?
[03:40] <Taenon> UglyBear you have to tell it to let you choose on the appropriate screen
[03:40] <skiwithpete> has anyone else fresh installed the RC/
[03:40] <skiwithpete> ?
[03:40] <UglyBear> D:
[03:40] <Taenon> Uglybear it is one of a handful of options
[03:41] <UglyBear> Will it be before/during/after the install process?
[03:41] <Taenon> http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3630/3363131932_cac22ca5a7.jpg
[03:41] <Taenon> that should be a screen shot of the window
[03:42] <relajo> enzotib thanks
[03:42] <skiwithpete> thansk for the efforts
[03:42] <Kanerix> I have a machine that only has USB 1.1 onboard. It has only a 24MB IDE partition available to it. I put a USB 2.0 card into it with a large flash drive on the USB 2.0 card. Is there any bootloader I can install on the small IDE partition to pass boot execution to the flash drive without installing a full kernel on the IDE partition?
[03:42] <skiwithpete> p
[03:42] <UglyBear> So is that after the installation?
[03:43] <arrrghhh> does anyone use pulse to stream audio across their network?
[03:43] <enzotib> relajo: http://partedmagic.com/ it is "only" about 80MB, and support ext4
[03:43] <Taenon> uglybear, that is part of the install
[03:43] <mmcji> having problems with laptop with Intel GMA 4500 video and ubuntu 9.10 RC1.
[03:43] <bazhang> mmcji, karmic in #ubuntu+1
[03:43] <UglyBear> Ok, I think I have all the info I need to install.
[03:43] <emja> I installed Jaunty a week ago and found it to be very sluggish compared to Hardy (which I've got on the same machine - dual boot). I've had the same problem with Intrepid. I'm only running xfce without compiz. Can anyone advise me on what could be slowing my system down?
[03:44] <mmcji> ok, thanks
[03:44] <ademos> Ubuntu 9.10-RC: One SATA hard disk is being detected, the other is not. When I run "blkid" I only see my system hard disk, and one of the storage hard disks. But one of the disks refuses to show up. ----- Would unplugging and replugging in the disk help? ---- Any other ideas?
[03:44] <MonkeySilent> i have unknown symbols when i try to insert a module how do i include these modules?
[03:44] <MonkeySilent> these symbols*
[03:44] <Taenon> emja: weren't there intel chipset regressions in 9.04?
[03:44] <bazhang> ademos, karmic in #ubuntu+1
[03:45] <emja> Taenon: no idea, but I am running an intel video chipset
[03:45] <ademos> +1 really?
[03:45] <ademos> bazhang, thanks
[03:45] <emja> Taenon: can you cite a source for that?
[03:45] <spider> ubuntu "hardware drivers" is supposed to show your graphics card, right?
[03:45] <bazhang> !intel | emja
[03:45] <emja> ubottu: awesome. thx
[03:46] <emja> fuck. bot.
[03:46]  * emja is a dill
[03:46] <bazhang> language please emja
[03:46]  * emja nods
[03:46] <arrrghhh> spider, not really... it just detects if you need any "non-free" drivers, as in proprietary, can't be included with ubuntu.
[03:47] <spider> arrrghhh: oh.. okay. Just because my Compiz stopped working today, and ive got no clue why!
[03:47]  * Kanerix sighs
[03:47] <arrrghhh> spider, yea, i don't use compiz... sorry.
[03:47] <Kanerix> Is there a channel I can go to to ask about complex bootloader configurations?
[03:50] <soreau> spider: If you come to #compiz, we may be able to help you there
[03:50] <spider> soreau:  oh! good idea!
[03:50] <zey> hi everybody
[03:50] <zombu> grr i hate when flashdrives crap out while installing linux from em
[03:51] <zey> i'd like to ask something
[03:51] <zombu> go ahead
[03:51] <zey> i have ubuntu 9.04 on my laptop
[03:51] <zombu> ok
[03:51] <Kanerix> zey, it's sorta silly to ask if you can ask a question...
[03:51] <zey> but now i cannot open shared file on other computer
[03:51] <zombu> what you mean
[03:51] <ademos> bazhang, no one is responding on #ubuntu+1....
[03:52] <zey> error message always comes out
[03:52] <zombu> hmm
[03:52] <zey> something like "unable to mount"
[03:52] <zombu> you trying to see a windows share??
[03:52] <zey> no
[03:52] <zey> ubuntu too
[03:52] <zombu> is smb running on it?/
[03:53] <zey> like command "smbclient -L hostname"?
[03:53] <zombu> go to places then click computer then type smb://ipofcomputer
[03:53] <zombu> see if you see it there
[03:53] <sdegutistest> coretext rocks.
[03:54] <sdegutistest> simple as that.
[03:54] <UglyBear> Does anyone know of a media player I can use from a porable HDD?
[03:54] <zombu> vlc
[03:54] <zey> still cannot do it
[03:55] <zombu> do you have a firewall active??
[03:55] <webbb82> what do you guys think about google desktop in ubuntu does it slow down your computer or wouold a differant app be better off
[03:56] <zombu> heh to be honest i don t like any google apps they do slowdown the machine
[03:56] <zey> on my laptop or other computer?
[03:56] <zombu> both
[03:56] <Einheri> hi people, im new in this ubuntu stuff, and i got a few questions
[03:56] <webbb82> laptop  im on a netbook
[03:56] <zey> just a delault ubuntu fresh install
[03:56] <cmdshftn> google indexing is a resource hog
[03:56] <mazda01> can someone please look in /lib/oss-compat/linux and tell me if there is a file that is symlinked to /etc/modprobe.d/oss-compat.conf? i am getting a failure to install a new kernel image. here's a pic   http://img259.imageshack.us/my.php?image=linuximage.png
[03:56] <zombu> try to disable apparmor
[03:57] <zombu> looks liek a faulty download
[03:58] <leaf-sheep> Einheri: Ask away.
[03:58] <zey> what is apparmor?
[03:58] <waterloo> ;-D
[03:58] <wate> :-D
[03:58] <mazda01> cmdshftn, any indexing is a resource hog!
[03:58] <zombu> apparmor is a program that messes with anything my personal opinion is it s a bad program it causes all kinds of wierd stuff
[03:59] <zombu> apt-get remove apparmor
[03:59] <leaf-sheep> !apparmor | zey
[04:00] <zey> is ubuntu fresh install have apparmor intalled to?
[04:00] <zombu> yeah
[04:00] <zombu> i usually remove it because it causes trouble
[04:00] <UglyBear> Is a  10gb recover partition really needed? Especially if I have all my stuff backed up on an external HDD?
[04:01] <david__> im trying to use firewire connection, with no luck
[04:01] <zombu> heh firewire is tricky
[04:01] <mazda01> UglyBear, no, who told you to make a 10gb recover partition?
[04:01] <Kanerix> So, um... Does anybody know a channel where I could get some advanced bootloader configuration assistance?
[04:01] <UglyBear> It came with the pooter.
[04:01] <david__> i want to edit some video
[04:01] <leaf-sheep> UglyBear: What are you talking about? I think you're talking about the partition that came with the computer/laptop you bought.
[04:01] <zombu> it has the windows recovery on it
[04:02] <GuidMorrow> when I installed Windows 7, my Grub Bootloader got eaten, can I still reinstall Ubuntu?
[04:02] <david__> i am using kino, but it wont register it
[04:02] <leaf-sheep> !grub | GuidMorrow
[04:02] <termana> got eaten :P
[04:02] <zombu> fix the bootloader
[04:02] <zombu> there is a good tut on the ubuntu docs
[04:02] <rasstar>  can ubuntu be installed to a usb flash drive
[04:02] <zombu> sure
[04:02] <david__> cheers
[04:03]  * Kanerix headdesks
[04:03] <zombu> the question is why
[04:03] <zey> as far as i know
[04:03] <zey> apparmor is related with security
[04:03] <GuidMorrow> and I was wondering whether "Ubuntu Studio" can be used, because I don't have a driver for this capture cards in "Seven"
[04:03] <zey> is that ok to turn it off?
[04:03] <UglyBear> Leafsheep, I am. I wa sjust wondering if its nesecarry. I have never used it.
[04:03] <zey> to remove it i mean
[04:04] <mzawieska> hey guys I need help with samba
[04:04] <webbb82> is there a way to get yahoo widgets in ubuntu
[04:04] <mzawieska> i created share folder in empty1

[04:06] <mzawieska> i can see it
[04:06] <mzawieska> but i can not see the other one in different partition
[04:07] <Gummi> the only thing you need to do is download nfs server from synaptic, add one line to /etc/portmaps and add a line to the client in /etc/fstab
[04:07] <bmwerks> i dont have a gui for compiz because i have a onboard vidcard how can i turn off the redirect on fullscreen from the terminal?

[04:12] <Magnesium> !nfs | mzawieska
[04:12] <humbolt> something is wrong with my laptop after resuming from suspention. I have tons of IO! What could be the source of the problem? Swappiness being set to some weird value by suspend??
[04:12] <zombu> did i mention that i hate apparmor yet
[04:12] <zombu> io errors usually indicate a hdd error
[04:13] <mzawieska> i have to install in both machines ubottu
[04:14] <zombu> u whatto?
[04:14] <Cryptic_1onkey> humbolt: Naturally i suspect that your hard drive is on its last legs.
[04:15] <zombu> yup hdd bad is my guess too
[04:16] <humbolt> Cryptic_1onkey: hdd almost full, true. but I don't see this problem on hibernation and I don't see it when I have plenty space on root neither.
[04:16] <zombu> wow the prerelease ud teh new ubuntu is very shiney
[04:17] <zombu> humbolt io errors usually occour when the hdd is on its last leg and is trying to fix read and write errors
[04:17] <zulian> thanks zombu
[04:17] <zombu> swap it out
[04:17] <zulian> i can map shared file now
[04:17] <zombu> np
[04:17] <zulian> but i have another problem
[04:18] <zombu> wow i m impressed with the new installer
[04:18] <zulian> i can not turn on my wireless on my laptop
[04:18] <Bluey> Linus Torvalds, while in Japan for a developers conference, gives an ironic thumbs up to windows 7. Before he had a chance to purchase a copy, he was unfortunately called away to battle Mothra. Film at 11.
[04:18] <Bluey> http://lh5.ggpht.com/_COt6T7Tmrok/SuAp5A54riI/AAAAAAAAAow/rWQ8NvS3wYk/s720/dsc_1576.jpg
[04:18] <humbolt> zombu: I am not talking about io errors here. there is just lots of IO that I don't know, where it comes from.
[04:18] <zulian> anyone can help?
[04:18] <zombu> oh
[04:18] <humbolt> zombu: every app I start using again, produces tons of it.
[04:19] <zombu> heh ubuntu didn t flush the old stuff after suspend
[04:19] <Flannel> Bluey: Please take that elsewhere, this is a support channel.
[04:19] <humbolt> zombu: like it would have to rebuffer/recache all its files again
[04:19] <webbb82> is there anyway to change the color of the wifi bar from blackish grey to some other color
[04:19] <KB1JWQ> zulian: How about a more thorough problem description?
[04:19] <zombu> i got the same crap with my netbook is it goes to suspend and comes back it s slow as hell and hdd is constantly on
[04:19] <al_> is it normal that when I shut screen on my laptop, it doesnt completely reload Ubuntu, but it does seem to take a while to start
[04:19] <UglyBear> Can I combine two un allocated partitions?
[04:19] <al_> al_: I might have it in hibertnate vs standby or something?
[04:20] <zombu> well linux always had a problem with hibernation and stuff not working
[04:21] <al_> zombu: ah
[04:21] <al_> did it
[04:21] <UglyBear> So, can I combine two unallocated partitions?
[04:21] <zombu> i turned all power management off
[04:21] <zombu> when i close the lid it just turns the screen off
[04:22] <zulian> anybody can help about wireless?
[04:22] <zombu> what chipset
[04:22] <zombu> and whats wrong
[04:22] <KB1JWQ> UglyBear: As I said, formulate a decent problem description other than "it's broken."
[04:22] <KB1JWQ> Er, that was to zulian
[04:22] <zulian> atheros
[04:23] <zombu> should work out of the box
[04:23] <zombu> whats the problem
[04:23] <zulian>  cannot tur it on
[04:23] <zulian> i can iwconfig it
[04:23] <zombu> does it have a physical switch??
[04:23] <zulian> yes
[04:24] <webbb82> ok when i change the icon theme the wifi bar in the top corner still stays dark grey
[04:24] <zombu> you might have the infamous broadcom effect
[04:24] <zombu> you might be forced to use a windows driver for it
[04:24] <zulian> broadcom?
[04:24] <zulian> why?
[04:24] <zulian> my wireless is atheros, not broadcom
[04:24] <zombu> yeah broadcom chipsets had a problem with the physical switch
[04:24] <UglyBear> Is 10x a safe write speed to make a boot disk?
[04:25] <zombu> yeah i m just saying it might be the same effect
[04:25] <zulian> so
[04:25] <zulian> what sould i do
[04:25] <zombu> try a windows driver
[04:25] <zulian> using ndiswrapper?
[04:25] <zombu> with ndiswrapper
[04:25] <zombu> yeah and see if it works
[04:25] <zulian> still can't help
[04:25] <webbb82> zulian: of you can hard wire your internet you can download bwcutter in synaptic that fixed my wifi
[04:25] <zulian> i have try it
[04:25] <zombu> hmm did the card work in windows?
[04:26] <Rubik_> any acer revo users here
[04:26] <webbb82> wlcutter sorry
[04:26] <webbb82> after a reboot
[04:26] <zombu> that could work also
[04:26] <Pilif12p> Does ubuntu server have a GUI?
[04:26] <zombu> no
[04:26] <zombu> shell only
[04:27] <Pilif12p> ok
[04:27] <Pilif12p> thanks
[04:27] <zombu> what you try to do with it
[04:27] <Pilif12p> Nothing, someone on Moznet is convinced that it has a gui
[04:28] <zombu> you can install one if you want to
[04:28] <Pilif12p> Oh
[04:28] <Pilif12p> How?
[04:28] <zombu> but that defeats the purpose
[04:28] <zombu> apt-get install gnome
[04:28] <Pilif12p> Yeah.
[04:28] <zombu> or apt-get install kde
[04:28] <Pilif12p> Yeah
[04:29] <Pilif12p> But why not install desktop and install apache and all those things, i'd think
[04:29] <emberetherorb> afternoon all
[04:29] <zulian> @zombu:yes, it works on windows
[04:29] <zombu> well you can do the same stuff with ubuntu desktop
[04:29] <zulian> @webbb82:what is wlcutter?
[04:29] <zombu> hmm what atheros chipset is it
[04:30] <UglyBear> Ok, I am going to try installing ubuntu. Wish me luck.
[04:30] <zulian> AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter
[04:30] <webbb82> wlcutter will let you use your broadcom wifi in karmic
[04:31] <rezd> good luck

[04:33] <zulian> @zombu:but i have try it and still doesn't works
[04:34] <zulian> @webbb82:but my wireless is atheros and i use jaunty
[04:34] <zombu> madwifi?
[04:34] <webbb82> oh oops
[04:34] <webbb82> sorry
[04:34] <Kanerix> madwifi's the atheros chipset drivers
[04:35] <zombu> yeah it says to install the svn package
[04:36] <zulian> yes madwifi
[04:36] <zombu> did you use the svn package as said in the forum?
[04:36] <zombu> svn co https://svn.madwifi.org/madwifi/branches/madwifi-hal-<IP_ADDRESS>
[04:37] <zulian> yes
[04:37] <zombu> did you blacklist the old driver?
[04:37] <zulian> well
[04:37] <zulian> let me see
[04:38] <zombu> it might still use the old one
[04:39] <yermandu> hi guys
[04:39] <Max-P> Hi, is anyone good with pulseaudio?
[04:39] <zulian> what driver should i blacklisted and not?
[04:40] <yermandu> Max-P problems with mic?
[04:41] <yermandu> i need make a grub load another grub
[04:41] <sarthor> Hi, Want to configure pppoe server for my Local area network users, That they can dial with login passwords, and can use my service (Internet),
[04:41] <somebody> Hi,
[04:41] <somebody> All.
[04:42] <yermandu> in installation i choice not install grub in mbr, beacuse i allready have grub
[04:42] <agey> hi
[04:42] <somebody> 1. How do I find parallel devices like printers from the command-line?
[04:42] <yermandu> then a need that the my Main grub load another with ubuntu
[04:42] <agey> I want to ask something
[04:43] <somebody> 2. How do I print to them from the Command-line using cat?
[04:43] <somebody> Using cat?
[04:43] <yermandu> cat /file
[04:44] <Magnesium> !ask | agey
[04:44]  * Strife1989 suggests dog. :P
[04:45] <agey> anyone can help me? I have a problem in playing video I download from youtube
[04:45] <zombu> use vlc
[04:46] <pckt> ^5
[04:46] <Max-P> yermandu: nope, some hard config. I would like to make pulseaudio outputs to my 2 sound cards like if it was a single 4.0 soundcard
[04:46] <agey> I have used vlc but sound  n video didn't work
[04:46] <zombu> hmm vlc plays anything
[04:46] <agey> but I can play it from browser firefox
[04:46] <yermandu> Max-P try jack
[04:46] <losha> somebody: It's been a long time since I had a parallel device. There should be a /dev entry for it e.g. /dev/parport0. Once you find the device, you should be able to cat files to it like so: cat file > /dev/parport0
[04:47] <zombu> what file extension is it?
[04:47] <agey> flv
[04:47] <zombu> thats a flash file vlc should play that
[04:47] <agey> some flv can play
[04:47] <losha> yermandu: do you have a file /boot/grub/menu.lst you can edit? You need to add an entry to that file for your new Ubuntu installation
[04:47] <yermandu> yes losha
[04:48] <ag> I have two sound-cards. One is integrated with my desktop motherboard-Intel 946gzis and the other is bttv based 'Kworld tv tuner card sound output'. Now the problem is whenever I played tv with the tuner card I can watch videos of various TV channels but without any sound. Otherwise motherboard sound-card gives perfect sound and I have tested the bttv card sound output and found correct individually. But when its sound output jack is looped with motherboard sound
[04:48] <yermandu> but this is my problem losha
[04:48] <yermandu> i have two grubs
[04:49] <agey> I used flv and timer works
[04:49] <yermandu> one is bootable
[04:49] <gamerx> how can i shrink my linux partition to install windows on a seperate partition
[04:49] <root> hi
[04:49] <losha> yermandu: edit the menu.lst for the bootable grub to add an entry pointing to the new kernel.
[04:49] <ctmjr> ag: what tv app are you using?
[04:49] <gamerx> root, hi
[04:49] <agey> I have smplayer, xine, vlc but none can play it
[04:50] <gamerx> agey, you tlking about dvd's?
[04:50] <yermandu> like kernel (hd0,5)/vmlinuz-blabla BOOT_IMAGE=?
[04:50] <gamerx> how can i re-partition my linux
[04:50] <agey> no, about playing flv video that I download from youtube
[04:51] <bazhang> agey, do you have all the appropriate codecs installed
[04:51] <gamerx> agey, sorry i know nothing, im needing help partitioning tho :s
[04:51] <losha> gamerx: you can boot from a live cd and use 'gparted' to repartition. Make sure you have backups of anything important before you try this...
[04:51] <losha> !gparted
[04:51] <gtech> I'm trying to run  a program called stripe snoop and the executable named ss is in my file path but when I enter ./ss it tells me the file doesn't exist
[04:51] <agey> all extention can play but some flv format can't
[04:51] <gamerx> losha, can i do it in normal linux?
[04:51] <gamerx> or somehow in the windows 7 install?
[04:51] <maco> gtech: billy hoffman's code?
[04:52] <gamerx> i dont have any live cd's
[04:52] <Max-P> yermandu: I don't really know about jack and Mixxx doesn't seem to be able to use jack anyway =/
[04:52] <Guest76246> what is a good program on backtrack 4 that cracks wep keys?
[04:52] <maco> gamerx: you cant resize a partition that youre using at the time
[04:52] <maco> gamerx: have to booted from either a cd or a flash drive
[04:52] <gilos123> I need help with grub and restoring it.  I started a new drive on my laptop with a partition for ubuntu and then installed win7 next.. now I want grub2 back so I can dual boot.  I'm currently booted off of a live CD.
[04:52] <bazhang> gamerx, you can dl the 100mb gparted livecd and do it that way
[04:52] <maco> gamerx: well, or pxe
[04:52] <ctmjr> gtech: did you try sudo ./ss
[04:52] <gamerx> maco, yes ok ill try this
[04:52] <ag> ctmjr, I am using 'Kworld' pvr tv tuner card which is a bttv application.
[04:52] <gamerx> maco bazhang losha, how do i use gparted, is it a gui?
[04:53] <maco> gamerx: yep
[04:53] <bazhang> gamerx, yes
[04:53] <losha> gamerx: it depends. You cant resize an partition while you are running from it, so if it's the root partition you need to resize, you have to boot a live cd. i dunno anything about windows 7, sorry.
[04:53] <gamerx> \maco, sweet
[04:53] <gtech> any ideas?
[04:53] <bazhang> agey, did you install the codecs?
[04:53] <gamerx> iits ok ill dl a livecd :D
[04:53] <losha> gamerx: yes, it's a gui, relatively easy to use. But please heed my warning about backups...
[04:53] <gamerx> io might have one here somewhere...
[04:53] <agey> what codecs must I install?
[04:53] <gtech> ctmjr: yeah I did
[04:54] <yermandu> losha http://pastebin.mandriva.com/14775 how this files is my BOOT_IMAGE?
[04:54] <agey> I think I have installed win32codec, essensial codecs
[04:54] <bazhang> agey, the ubuntu-restricted-extras package contains most of them, there also w32codecs from medibuntu.org
[04:54] <UglyBear> OK gaise. i tried installing Ubuntu, but it messed up at the partition stage, and now about 8gb is missing from one of the unallocated partitions.
[04:55] <agey> I used ubuntu 8.04, does it have problem?
[04:55] <alokito> does ubuntu support the latest ati cards?
[04:55] <losha> yermandu: can you also paste your /boot/grub/menu.lst file? Hopefully we can copy an entry from that file.
[04:55] <alokito> I mean will compositing work smoothly?
[04:56] <gzy> ati card support poorly
[04:56] <alokito> I bought a geforce 9500 gt recently, but its not working in my mainboard
[04:56] <alokito> so have no choice but to switch to ati :(
[04:56] <gtech> maco: I think so
[04:56] <maco> gtech: nice nice :)
[04:56] <ctmjr> gtech: what is the extension of the file ie .sh .pl.
[04:57] <rezd> s'ok found one, aumix, using android phone to connect to Ubuntu to play video using cvlc.
[04:57] <gtech> ctmjr: there is none
[04:57] <gtech> maco: heh yeah, now if only it'd run
[04:57] <alokito> !ati
[04:57] <maco> gtech: check the first line in the file?
[04:57] <maco> gtech: see what the #! has?
[04:58] <paul928> just did a reinstall of karma....I'm very disappointed
[04:58] <maco> !karmic | paul928
[04:58] <paul928> Karmic?
[04:58] <ctmjr> gtech: then leave off the ./ and just run ss see what happens
[04:58] <yermandu> losha http://pastebin.mandriva.com/14777 is the last entry
[04:58] <gtech> ctmjr: I have another program called ss that does something with networking and that executes
[04:58] <kankan_> how to show home folder and trash in desktop?
[04:59] <pipegeek> Is empathy likely to get message formatting eventually, or was it a deliberate omission?
[04:59] <gtech> maco: how do i do that?
[04:59] <maco> gtech: wait whats "file ss" say?
[04:59] <maco> gtech: and is "gtech" georgia tech? as in where billy went to school?
[05:00] <kankan_> how to show home folder and trash in desktop?
[05:01] <mayki> shortcuts? symbolic links?
[05:01] <pipegeek> kankan_: take a look in gconf config
[05:01] <kankan_> yes..
[05:01] <pipegeek> let me find it
[05:01] <shavinder> how do i check which is the file system of a partition from CLI?
[05:01] <losha> yermandu: sorry, I don't know what to use for BOOT_IMAGE. It doesn't look like Ubuntu grub. Whose grub is it?
[05:02] <pipegeek> kankan_: run "Configuration Editor", then change /apps/nautilus/desktop/trash_icon_visible
[05:02] <pipegeek> et. al.
[05:02] <gzy> fdisk
[05:02] <yermandu> :P
[05:02] <pipegeek> it's in the System Tools submenu of the Applications menu
[05:02] <gtech> maco: http://paste.ubuntu.com/300239/ no it's a long story, that's interesting though
[05:03] <shavinder> i am running fdisk but it does not mention the ext2 or ext3 how do i get that?
[05:03] <maco> gtech: oh! its a binary, not a script
[05:03] <kankan_> pipegeek:where is conf editor?
[05:03] <rezd> file -s /dev/sda1
[05:03] <DigitalKiwi> shavinder: df fells filesystem type
[05:03] <pipegeek> kankan_: see above.  the gconf editor is called "Configuration Editor" in the applications menu
[05:04] <gtech> maco: are scripts interpreted and binaries compiled?
[05:04] <maco> gtech: yep yep
[05:04] <gtech> maco: and what am I supposed to do with it differently?
[05:04] <maco> gtech: when you "./ss" what does it do? (sorry i missed the first bit of this jsut saw a mention of billy's code and wnt "ooh!")
[05:05] <gtech> maco: Well that and what am I supposed to do?
[05:05] <pipegeek> shavinder, if you just type "mount" with no arguments, it'll tell you the type of every mounted filesystem
[05:05] <osirisx11> Does anyone have any suggestion for boot-time encryption? (karmic)
[05:05] <maco> gtech: whats its output?
[05:05] <osirisx11> I'm a huge fan of truecrypt but i don't think it offers boot time enc for linux
[05:05] <bazhang> #ubuntu+1 for karmic osirisx11
[05:05] <osirisx11> thank you
[05:06] <osirisx11> Does anyone have any suggestion for boot-time encryption? (jaunty)
[05:06] <ctmjr> ag: you still here
[05:06] <gtech> maco: well when I just run ss it runs a program that's already installed on my system
[05:06] <pipegeek> osirisx11, your other option is cryptsetup, though I haven't set it up for whole-disk encryption before
[05:06] <pipegeek> there're howtos online
[05:06] <maco> gtech: you have to use the ./ .... what happens when you do that?
[05:06] <shavinder> pipegeek thanks DigitaKiwi thanks
[05:06] <ag> ctmjr, yes, I am.
[05:06] <gtech> maco: it says the file doesn't exist
[05:06] <gtech> maco: even though I'm in the right directory
[05:06] <maco> gtech: hang on...are you using proper capitalization?
[05:06] <pipegeek> np :)
[05:06] <gtech> maco: I can hit ls and see ss right there
[05:07] <gzy> .........
[05:07] <maco> gtech: cuz file says "SS" and you keep saying "ss"
[05:07] <gtech> maco: yeah, I can play with other capitalization just for kicks though
[05:07] <ctmjr> ag: ok what progam do you use to watch tv tvtime, kaffeine or ?
[05:07] <Cryptic_Donkey> Intel gigabit nics kick Broadcom ass!!
[05:07] <pipegeek> nuh-uH!
[05:08] <ag> ctmjr, I use tvtime.
[05:09] <Cryptic_Donkey> pipegeek: 2wire only makes modems  and intell is the well known foir its server side equipment
[05:09] <|Leech|> I have a small question with Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty. I am currently using a small, 10 gig IDE hard drive. Am I able to reimage my harddrive onto a 320 gig Sata harddrive and just resize the partitions?
[05:10] <pipegeek> haha, don't actually have an opinion, just seemed like the right thing to say ;)  apologies
[05:10] <ctmjr> ag: open tvtime then open a terminal window and type aplay /dev/dsp1 the sound should come through but out of sink
[05:10] <losha> !clone
[05:11] <Dhuski> Is it true that Ubuntu 3 has been made for playstation 3?
[05:12] <yermandu> losha can you post your grub.cfg to me try modify my?
[05:12] <Dhuski> Say something!!!
[05:12] <Dhuski> Answer me
[05:12] <Dhuski> Answer me
[05:12] <Dhuski> Answer me
[05:12] <FloodBot3> Dhuski: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:12] <Dhuski> Answer me
[05:12] <|Leech|> Thanks. I'm don't have that much installed and it might be easier for me just to reinstall with synaptic
[05:13] <Pilif12p> Dhuski: Its The middle of the night for most of the world, you'll have to wait.
[05:13] <waterloo> :-)
[05:13] <Dhuski> Okay.
[05:13] <waterloo> :-)
[05:13] <waterloo> :-(
[05:13] <FloodBot3> waterloo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:13] <waterloo> :-D
[05:13] <Pilif12p> haha...
[05:13] <vap> Question: with a terminal window, how would I access a file on another computer on the network? For example, vap-desk on blmrzl/CSIS.
[05:13] <adelie42> how do I do an install of a version of ubuntu from a live CD other than the one on the liveCD?
[05:13] <ag> ctmjr, I did accrodingly but it says 'no such file or directory'
[05:13] <Pilif12p> floodbot does his job :)
[05:13] <hani> iiis
[05:13] <Dhuski> How can I alter the programming for Floodbot?
[05:13] <hani> fh
[05:13] <Pilif12p> Dhuski: Better not.
[05:14] <Dhuski> vap, telnet is a good way to go...
[05:14] <|Leech|> adelie42: Are you meaning trying to install, say, 8.10 from an 8.04 cd?
[05:14] <Dhuski> Pilif12p, I reckon floodbot has been coded too strictly...
[05:14] <adelie42> |Leech|: yes
[05:14] <Pilif12p> He just does his job.
[05:14] <vap> OK, I'll  try that
[05:14] <Pilif12p> Probably not as  bad as a bot on another network
[05:14] <Dhuski> Pilif12p, I suppose.
[05:14] <Cryptic_Donkey> vap: Atre you talking about a linux to windows transaction or visevursa
[05:14] <Pilif12p> If you repeat yoursefl he kicks you
[05:15] <Dhuski> !ubottu
[05:15] <|Leech|> I think that you'll either have to burn a new cd or just install and upgrade
[05:15] <Pilif12p> and if you keep doing it he bans you
[05:15] <Pilif12p> if you come back with same nick on different IP, he glines you...
[05:15] <ctmjr> ag: ok run this and see what output you get ls /dev/dps*
[05:15] <adelie42> |Leech|: or a way I can jus install ubuntu-minimal?
[05:16] <Dhuski> Pilif12p, what if its a different nick and IP?
[05:16] <ctmjr> ag: should be ls dev/dsp*
[05:16] <Dhuski> !FloodBot3
[05:16] <Pilif12p> then, whoever is the oncall op gets the oncall sysadmin
[05:16] <Pilif12p> the oncall sysadmin klines it
[05:16] <|Leech|> adelie42:I haven't used the minimal install and can't give any help on that. Sorry.
[05:17] <adelie42> |Leech|: what about the original question?
[05:17] <Dhuski> What's the difference between Debian and ubuntu?
[05:17] <losha> |Leech|: I would create new partition(s) on the new disk, then copy the old filesystem *contents* to the new partition, then reinstall grub to boot from the new disk....
[05:18] <ctmjr> !debian | Dhuski
[05:18] <ag> ctmjr, yes it is dev/dsp.
[05:18] <Pilif12p> Dhuski: Just the way it looks, etc.
[05:19] <|Leech|> adelie24:I'm not sure if that wil work. I am not the most experienced user and could be considered a newbie to most of the people on here. I know that you can boot a livecd, set it to manually partition during install and install it on a second partition, the upgrade.
[05:19] <gtech> maco: heh intertubes clogged for a sec, last thing I saw you say was  gtech: cuz file says "SS" and you keep saying "ss"
[05:20] <pipegeek> adelie42: I believe if you want to do any sort of nonstandard install, you're going to need the alternate install cd
[05:20] <pipegeek> adelie42, unless you want to, like, partition the drive by hand, mount, chroot in, debootstrap and install by hand
[05:21] <pipegeek> but I could be wrong
[05:21] <ctmjr> ag: you should have /dev/dsp then /dev/dsp1 or some other number
[05:21] <yazi282> hello
[05:22] <SpiceMan> hola
[05:22] <pipegeek> howdy
[05:22] <yazi282> 中文
[05:22] <ag> ctmjr, but I am having only /dev/dsp.
[05:23] <adelie42> pipegeek: cool! looks like debootstrap is exactly what I want. Whank you
[05:23] <pipegeek> oh! great!
[05:23] <Dhuski> How much longer till ubuntu 9.10?
[05:23] <pipegeek> and yes, deboostrap is the shizzle
[05:23] <pipegeek> *debootstrap
[05:23] <losha> !cn | yazi282
[05:23] <pipegeek> Dhuski just under a week
[05:23] <yazi282> thank you
[05:23] <pipegeek> I believe
[05:24] <Dhuski> How is Ubuntu better than Windows?
[05:24] <jon5000> anyone know how to get citrix xenapp receiver v11 working on 9.10?
[05:24] <pipegeek> Dhuski, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KarmicReleaseSchedule
[05:24] <maco> gtech: well if you run "./SS" does THAT work?
[05:24] <scunizi> Dhuski: #ubuntu-offtopic for that type of question
[05:24] <pipegeek> oh, and that's a kind of a difficult and subjective question to answer
[05:24] <Pilif12p> Dhuski: You seem like someone i saw here before...
[05:24] <maco> gtech: with the capitals
[05:25] <gtech> maco: nope
[05:25] <pipegeek> depends on what you want to do, and how you define "good" ;)
[05:25] <gtech> maco: although SS gives me command not found, ss gives me no such file or directory
[05:25] <adelie42> pipegeek: looks like could just 'debootstrap karmic /mnt/disk' basically?
[05:26] <maco> gtech: are you running "SS" or "./SS"?
[05:26] <emergion> I try to run this  command: cat /usr/share/syslinux/mbr.bin > /dev/sdd and I get permissioned denied does anyone know why?
[05:26] <pipegeek> yeah.  And there's a way to specify additional packages to include or exclude, though I'd have to look at the man page
[05:26] <gtech> maco: both
[05:26] <Dhuski> Pilif12p, What do you mean?
[05:26] <emergion> running from sudo btw
[05:26] <maco> gtech: and they both say "command not found"?
[05:26] <zulian> karmis release on oct 29th
[05:26] <Pilif12p> nvm
[05:27] <gtech> maco: yea
[05:27] <Dhuski> Pilif12p, you have my curiosity flairing now, please do tell me.
[05:27] <losha> emergion: that's not usually how you put an mbr onto a disk. Usually you use the dd command...
[05:27] <pipegeek> adelie42: so yeah.  debootstrap karmic /mnt/disk; optionally chroot /mnt/disk; mount /proc, /sys/ and /dev/pts, do any additional configuration you want, reboot, rinse, reuse
[05:27] <emergion> losha: Ok
[05:28] <emergion> losha: you have an example handy?.
[05:28] <losha> emergion: just a moment, let me look...
[05:28] <adelie42> pipegeek: sweet! Now that sounds like the Linux I know :)
[05:28] <pipegeek> hehe
[05:28] <Dhuski> Pilif12p, you have my curiosity flairing now, please do tell me.
[05:29] <gtech> maco: scratch that sudo ./SS says command not found ./SS says No such file or directory
[05:29] <ixian_> is the ubuntu 9.10 RC the same as the final version coming out in a few days?
[05:29] <losha> emergion: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-copy-mbr/ for example.
[05:29] <emergion> thanks
[05:30] <pipegeek> adelie42, oh and grub-install
[05:30] <losha> emergion: should you be doing a grub install instead? You never said what you're trying to do...
[05:30] <pipegeek> crucially important ;)
[05:30] <pipegeek> though I suppose that should have gone without saying
[05:30] <gtech> maco: the directory is /home/gtech/stripe if that makes a difference
[05:30] <emergion> I am trying to get gentoo running of a usb stick but I am running ubuntu
[05:31] <emergion> gentoo minimal
[05:31] <maco> gtech: sorry, you got me confused
[05:31] <ctmjr> ag: does it show up in aplay -l
[05:31] <adelie42> pipegeek: hehe, oh yeah. thanks  :0
[05:31] <Dhuski> exi
[05:31] <losha> emergion: you're on your own then, sorry :-)
[05:31] <emergion> http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Gentoo_minimal_CD_on_USB_stick following this
[05:31] <gtech> maco: eh?
[05:31] <emergion> lol
[05:31] <maco> gtech: your errors arent making sense to me

[05:32] <ag> ctmjr, to run the tv tuner card I have to open a console and then I type 'rmmod bttv' and then 'modprobe bttv card=78 tuner=68 radio=1' and then I can watch the videos of channels with 'tvtime' but without any sound. I have tried other distros too but of no avail. This is the last major blocked I am facing with linux. Otherwise almost everything is going ok with ubuntu. So, I have to get a solve of this.

[05:36] <pipegeek> oh
[05:36] <pipegeek> apologies
[05:36] <maco> tonyyarusso: thanks much
[05:37] <scunizi> stderr_: there should be an option there.
