[00:00] <kontagious> i edited songs on my ipod from rhythmbox and when i use the ipod it says no songs but when i connect it rhythmbox can still see them. any ideas?
[00:00] <EastDallas> igie: try connecting via ip address instead of computer name.  '
[00:00] <Gibson> dtork: i don't know man. i'd say try getting on another machine and burning a disk and booting from that
[00:00] <igie> EastDallas: how do I do that?
[00:00] <wimpog> I have ubuntu server and installed another HDD w/Windows on it. For some reason Ubuntu does not see it... what's the problem?
[00:00] <ninjah> I've got imbeded youtbue videos on a blog. They flicker when I watch them on Ubunut. They don't in windows. Is there a fix for this?
[00:00] <dtork> Gibson: so you're suggesting a fresh install?
[00:00] <EastDallas> igie: Go to places and choose any folder
[00:01] <Gibson> dtork: if it were me I would, but I started linux like, this afternoon.
[00:01] <igie> EastDallas: then what?
[00:01] <EastDallas> igie: then type smb://ipaddress
[00:01] <Gibson> dtork: but those files can go funny on download sometimes. then hang up at a particular spot and never finish anything
[00:01] <dtork> Gibson: oh, I see. Well if you have any ideas like editing the grub menu, I'm able to access my filesystem partition from a live cd now
[00:02] <dtork> I just don't know what kind of editing that should be
[00:02] <tony_> i reinstalled ubuntu with wubi again i have a dual boot set up can i increase ubuntu's space with gparted?
[00:02] <blackest_knight1> tony_: yes
[00:02] <EastDallas> igie: did that work?
[00:02] <anigma> where would I find the previous version of ubuntu?
[00:02] <anigma> any url?
[00:03] <kazagistar> usb-creator isn't working... I booted from a different liveusb distro just fine, but my 9.10 server install does not... how do I get ubuntu working on my nettop?
[00:03] <igie> EastDallas: where do I type smb://ipaddress ?
[00:03] <blackest_knight1> tony_: you can even copy and paste partitions
[00:03] <l3ns> good morning everyone :)
[00:03] <iceroot> anigma: jaunty?
[00:03] <anigma> iceroot: indeed.
[00:03] <EastDallas> igie: you might have to click the pencil button in the toolbar to get the space to type it.
[00:03] <iceroot> !jaunty | anigma
[00:03] <l3ns> how accurate sudo lshw -class processor determines the type of processor I have?
[00:04] <EastDallas> igie: left had side, second row of toolbar
[00:04] <blackest_knight1> kazagistar: what os are you starting from
[00:04] <anigma> iceroot: thank you. I appreciate it.
[00:04] <iceroot> l3ns: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[00:04] <erUSUL> l3ns: better --> cat /proc/cpuinfo
[00:04] <tony_> can i increase ubuntu's size without crashing vista?
[00:04] <erUSUL> l3ns: or the "x86info" program
[00:04] <dtork> Gibson: yeah, you've got a point. But that wouldn't explain why I can't start up from the other boot options
[00:04] <iceroot> tony_: yes but make a backup
[00:04] <bishop> tony u can shrink the volume in windows to make room for ubuntu but i like making room using gedit.
[00:04] <igie> EastDallas: How do i find out the ip address of the computers on my wireless network?
[00:04] <erUSUL> !info x86info
[00:04] <blackest_knight1> kazagistar: i use unetbootin for usb installs of netbook
[00:05] <Gibson> dtork: i'm not sure..
[00:05] <EastDallas> igie: go to the other machine and type ifconfig in a terminal
[00:05] <tony_> i should run defrag under vista then move partition in gparted?
[00:05] <igie> EastDallas: is there a way to do it from this machine ?
[00:06] <EastDallas> igie: well, I guess you should do it on both so you'll know both ip addresses.
[00:06] <EastDallas> igie: do you know how to ssh?
[00:06] <l3ns> iceroot, erUSUL the result is here: http://pastebin.com/m6ab1a13
[00:06] <blackest_knight1> tony_:  seems like a plan
[00:06] <igie> EastDallas: nope
[00:06] <kazagistar> blackest_knight1: I have Ubuntu desktop already, but it is installed in an encrypted partition, and I want it to not be encrypted
[00:06] <EastDallas> igie: You could log in to your router and look at the DHCP list.  Know how to do that?
[00:06] <igie> EastDallas: not even sure what ssh is
[00:06] <iceroot> l3ns: yes, pentium 4 one core
[00:06] <erUSUL> l3ns: so; what do you want me to do with that info ?
[00:06] <EastDallas> igie:  how many computers on your network?
[00:07] <igie> EastDallas: ya, i can do that
[00:07] <khelvan> Hello, what is the linux equivalent to Windows' chkdsk? I have an SSD losing data and I want to check it for errors, but the partition on it is NTFS (it is a Windows 64 install). However, my Ubuntu partition is fine, so I figured I could fix Windows from Ubuntu.
[00:07] <l3ns> iceroot, erUSUL is it 64 bit?
[00:07] <kazagistar> blackest_knight1: I will look into unetbootin
[00:07] <igie> EastDallas: 5 machines, 2 running ubuntu
[00:07] <iceroot> khelvan: fsck
[00:07] <EastDallas> igie: go ahead and try looking at the router
[00:07] <erUSUL> l3ns: yes
[00:07] <tony_> sounds easy enough any other steps besides back up, defrag and then move partition?
[00:08] <iceroot> erUSUL: l3ns i dont see infos for amd64
[00:08] <khelvan> iceroot - Can you please assist me with how to run that properly? And doesn't it have problems with NTFS?
[00:08] <iceroot> khelvan: dont know if it can handle ntfs, sorry
[00:08] <erUSUL> iceroot: the "lm" cpuflag means 64 bit capable (long mode)
[00:08] <l3ns> erUSUL, iceroot , i installed 32 bit ubuntu on this machine cus I thought this was a 32 bit processor >.<
[00:09] <erUSUL> iceroot: l3ns line 18 flags in the list you have the lm flag == 64 bits
[00:09] <iceroot> erUSUL: ah, good to know, thx
[00:09] <Bulb> how do i change kde to normal ubuntu ?
[00:09] <Crazy|One> right i have a query, i have ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop and i thought everything was running perfet until i ran system monitor.  I get a box shaded in lines of color, screenshot can be seen at the link, any ideas what the problem could be?   http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/2148/screenshotfp.png
[00:09] <l3ns> erUSUL, iceroot , so I can install amd64 on this machine, yes?
[00:09] <iceroot> l3ns: yes
[00:09] <iceroot> l3ns: amd64 is also running on intel platforms
[00:10] <erUSUL> iceroot: l3ns « grep --color " lm " /proc/cpuinfo »
[00:10] <erUSUL> l3ns: yes you can
[00:10] <erUSUL> l3ns: depends on how much ram you have. if you have less then 4 GiB may not be worth the trouble
[00:10] <igie> EastDallas: I can do it with the ip address
[00:10] <tony_> thanks everyone
[00:10] <alankila> There are too many questions about "does amd64 work on intel". *sigh* someone should rename the architecture to x86-64, or at least the ISO image ought to be named that way.
[00:11] <dn4> what is a good program to use to edit video
[00:11] <dn4> for time lapse
[00:11] <bishop> good luck tony
[00:11] <igie> EastDallas, but I can't do it by clicking on Places > Network >
[00:11] <EastDallas> igie: cool, we should be able to get it working with names just fine.
[00:11] <igie> EastDallas: why is that ?
[00:11] <erUSUL> alankila: give credit where credit is due. AMD designed the isa. it has the right to  name it imho ;)
[00:11] <l3ns> erUSUL, iceroot , yeah I have only 2 gb at the moment, that's why I was planning to update it to 4gb, then i heard about 32bits are not capable of 4gb rams so I checked back if I really have a 32proc
[00:11] <WatchMan> Watching videos fullscreen seem to be very laggy to me. Hardware drivers updated. Flash is installed as well... any tips?
[00:11] <iceroot> alankila: yes but to late
[00:11] <Gibson> dn4: you should try shooting at lower fps, what kind of camera are you using?
[00:11] <EastDallas> igie:  We'll get it to work.
[00:11] <alankila> erUSUL: yes, but it's still not user friendly.
[00:11] <EastDallas> igie: gimme a sec
[00:12] <iceroot> alankila: and amd dont like that idea i think .)
[00:12] <igie> EastDallas: ok, thanks
[00:12] <h4f> any one know of linux keyloger. I mean to run on my own machine. to keep track of all keys pressed ?
[00:12] <l3ns> erUSUL, iceroot , but now thanks to you both I can freely update my ram to 4gb :)
[00:12] <Crazy|One> right i have a query, i have ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop and i thought everything was running perfet until i ran system monitor.  I get a box shaded in lines of color, screenshot can be seen at the link, any ideas what the problem could be?   http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/2148/screenshotfp.png

[00:13] <Geyeda> Hi there. Just a small question about the latest Ubuntu release. /tmp was mounted as tmpfs in some older releases, but it seems like its an ordinary folder nowadays. Is there a specific reason for that?
[00:13] <l3ns> erUSUL, why does a 64bit proc needs a minimum of 4gb ram?
[00:14] <bishop> crazy one believe that is common. do not know how to avoid it maybe someone does.
[00:14] <plustax> whats the best torrent prog for ubuntu?
[00:14] <erUSUL> l3ns: it does not need a minimum (i use it with 3 GiB).
[00:14] <Crazy|One> bishop, when you say common, u mean its a bug?
[00:15] <kinja-sheep> h4f: Google. It is very likely that any keyloggers softwares aren't part of the repo because it post a security risk to users. (FROWNING UPON ON YOU).
[00:15] <bishop> yes
[00:15] <alankila> l3ns: the argument was more about that 32-bit systems are limited to using about 3 GB of memory and need to do various tricks past that. So that is one of the best reasons to use 64-bit system.
[00:15] <l3ns> erUSUL, hm. but do you know the reason why 32bit procs cam only handle <4gb ram?
[00:15] <erUSUL> l3ns: but if you have the system already installed there is no point in reinstalling it just becouse you can. with 4 GiB or more you need 64 bits for the system to use all ram
[00:15] <EastDallas> igie: open a terminal and type sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf
[00:15] <Crazy|One> bishop, ok i will look around see if i can find out
[00:15] <plustax> whats the best torrent prog for ubuntu?
[00:15] <plustax> whats the best torrent prog for ubuntu?
[00:16] <erUSUL> l3ns: long history short 2^32 == 4 GiB
[00:16] <plustax> sorry for double post!
[00:16] <kinja-sheep> !best | plustax
[00:16] <bishop> u got it
[00:16] <kinja-sheep> plustax: Transmission!
[00:16] <plustax> lol
[00:16] <igie> EastDallas: done
[00:16] <plustax> okay, well someone make me a suggestion
[00:16] <l3ns> erUSUL, hehe nice I got the picture well :) thanks also to iceroot and alankila :)
[00:16] <majuk> plustax, They're free, pick one, try it.
[00:17] <kinja-sheep> !torrent | plustax
[00:17] <kinja-sheep> plustax: What are you looking for in your torrenting experience?
[00:17] <EastDallas> igie: hit ctrl+f and search for the phrase 'wins support'  change it to yes
[00:17] <erUSUL> l3ns: to be fair there is a way for a 32 bit processor to handle more then 4 GiB using pae
[00:17] <erUSUL> l3ns: in karmic there is a generic pae kernel
[00:17] <plustax> not sure
[00:17] <plustax> something that works well
[00:17] <plustax> and is fast I guess
[00:17] <legend2440> l3ns: or you could keep the ubuntu 32  install and use the  linux-image-2.6.31-16-generic-pae  which can handle  more then 4GB RAM
[00:17] <majuk> lol
[00:17] <erUSUL> !info linux-image-generic-pae
[00:17] <igie> East Dallas: done
[00:18] <plustax> oh okay it seems I have transmission already
[00:18] <peepsalot> can someone help me fix grub after installing windows dual boot?  i tried booting a livecd and doing: sudo grub, root (hd0,0), setup (hd0), quit   now i can boot back into ubuntu, but my ubuntu root partition is read only
[00:18] <plustax> haha
[00:18] <plustax> nvm
[00:18] <bishop> bbak
[00:18] <erUSUL> l3ns: but pae is kind of a hack (and hits performance)
[00:18] <kinja-sheep> plustax: As I said, Transmission does the job and is part of Ubuntu-Desktop so you should see it in Applications --> Internet.
[00:18] <l3ns> legend2440, erUSUL why not go reinstall with a 64bit ubuntu?...i just downloaded it now...
[00:18] <plustax> thank you sir
[00:18] <legend2440> l3ns: as far as I know the only advantage to installing ubuntu 64 would be a slight increase in performance for cpu intensive operations. for example encoding videos would be a bit faster
[00:18] <erUSUL> l3ns: do as you want.
[00:18] <l3ns> erUSUL, are there any performance issues with 64bit ubuntu?
[00:18] <alankila> l3ns: there is little practical benefit, and some loss of compatibility, as 32 bits is still the mainstream system.
[00:18] <a> peepsalot: what grub version do you have ?
[00:19] <erUSUL> l3ns: no that i know of
[00:19] <alankila> l3ns: by all means give 64 bits a go, and if all goes well you don't notice anything being any different at all.
[00:19] <peepsalot> a, not sure, whichever comes default with 9.04
[00:19] <EastDallas> igie: got it?
[00:19] <bishop> bak again
[00:19] <a> peepsalot: that's 1.xx
[00:19] <tbrock_> what file controls how X starts on boot
[00:20] <igie> EastDallas: it should work now ?
[00:20] <tbrock_> and how could i see what is happening if this fails
[00:20] <alankila> l3ns: but chances are that the first thing you need to do is rip out the flash player in 64-bit ubuntu and replace that one with the alpha version at least.
[00:20] <a> peepsalot: that'll be a bit more complicated
[00:20] <a> actually the best would be a reinstall of ubuntu
[00:20] <EastDallas> igie: save it, and you'll need to restart samba
[00:20] <l3ns> alankila, erUSUL legend2440 , I have a new hd, can I just install the 64bit ubuntu there, keeping my 32 bit intact on the old hd?
[00:21] <EastDallas> igie: in a terminal type /etc/init.d/samba restart
[00:21] <a> peepsalot: because rewriting grub config etc. from scretch is really hard
[00:21] <erUSUL> l3ns: yes. then you can just transfer the home folder and the conf files to the 64 bit install
[00:21] <sprung> after FIVE distribution upgrades, simply reinstalling Ubuntu solved a load of problems for me.
[00:21] <EastDallas> igie:  we may have to do something else, but lets see if it works now
[00:21] <LlamaZorz> I assume the ubuntu livecd uses tmpfs, but the wikipedia page for tmpfs says that it can use a backing store swap space,  How can it use swap space if the drives are not mounted?
[00:21] <sprung> I was one of those people who tried out Automatix back in the days of Feisty and broke stuff
[00:22] <alankila> LlamaZorz: it uses it if it's available.
[00:22] <l3ns> erUSUL, what are conf files and where can I see them?
[00:22] <igie> EastDallas:  * Starting Samba daemons                                                [fail]
[00:22] <erUSUL> sprung: shame on you then ;)
[00:22] <WatchMan> Watching videos fullscreen seem to be very laggy to me. Hardware drivers updated. Flash is installed as well... any tips?
[00:22] <erUSUL> !automatix
[00:22] <LlamaZorz> alankila: So the drive needs to be mounted
[00:22] <iceroot> WatchMan: jaunty with intel?
[00:22] <goopish> Feisty... yarrrrggg
[00:22] <sprung> erUSUL, shame on THEM for not warning anybody.
[00:22] <EastDallas> igie: try /etc/init.d/samba start
[00:22] <a> peepsalot: are you still there ?
[00:23] <igie> EastDallas: Its taking a long time to open "Igie" ... now it says unable to mount location.
[00:23] <erUSUL> sprung: we (the ircers) warn everybody systematically ;)
[00:23] <igie> but at least I can see it now.
[00:23] <lsdluna> can someone help? I use "lame audio.wav audio.mp3" and I get "Warning: Unsupported audio format"?
[00:23] <WatchMan> iceroot: intel yes. 9.01 karmic
[00:23] <alankila> LlamaZorz: yes, the swap needs to be enabled before tmpfs will use it. Even then it will only do the normal paging sort of activity with it, it doesn't by default write to swap. It's just a way to extend tmpfs size if physical memory is constrained.
[00:23] <EastDallas> igie: were you able to get samba started?
[00:23] <iceroot> WatchMan: hm, the problem i was thinking about has been solved with karmic
[00:23] <peepsalot> a, yes
[00:23] <igie> EastDallas: it failed again
[00:23] <igie> * Starting Samba daemons                                                [fail]
[00:23] <erUSUL> lsdluna: you are sure is a wav file ? try --> lame -r audio.wav audio.mp3
[00:24] <WatchMan> iceroot, where can I look to find out what version I am using?
[00:24] <iceroot> WatchMan: lsb_release -a
[00:24] <LlamaZorz> alankila: So if no swap partition is mounted then, it will never automount a partition labled swap
[00:24] <alankila> LlamaZorz: indeed not.
[00:24] <peepsalot> a, i guess i'll just do a fresh install of 9.10
[00:24] <lsdluna> erUSUL: its worked thanks a lot
[00:25] <a> Peepsalot, that would be the best
[00:25] <erUSUL> lsdluna: no problem (the file is not a wav but raw cda)
[00:25] <igie> * Stopping Samba daemons                                                       start-stop-daemon: warning: failed to kill 2856: Operation not permitted

[00:25] <FloodBot4> igie: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:25] <lsdluna> one more thing, can anyone guide me to how I can type in Chinese with the ChangJie method?
[00:25] <EastDallas> igie: give me a second
[00:25] <igie> sorry about the flooding
[00:26] <anto9us> igie, you need sudo
[00:27] <igie> anto9us: thanks... it worked
[00:27] <EastDallas> thanks  anto9us...duh
[00:27] <igie> EastDallas: I got it restarted
[00:27] <igie> haha.. ya, my bad
[00:27] <EastDallas> now try connecting to the remote machine
[00:29] <EastDallas> igie: are you able to connect by name now?
[00:30] <Hydrosis> Sorry to ask about Conky here, but no one is answering in the #conky channel.  I need to know if it's possible to add clickable links to conky.  I have a few RSS feeds imported, and I would like to be able to click on them and have my browser open the link.  Cany ANY text be linked to a url in conky?
[00:31] <igie> EastDallas: I can't even see the workgroup now :(
[00:31] <igie> EastDallas: nor can I connect by IP, I was able to 2 seconds ago... :(
[00:31] <Typh> Can anyone lend me a hand with troubleshooting wireless?  Karmic NBR, EEE 1008ha
[00:31] <igie> EastDallas: Maybe I need to restart?
[00:32] <EastDallas> igie: give it a second and try connecting by ip again.  samba sometimes takes a little time to restart
[00:33] <bishop> leaving
[00:33] <lsdluna> erUSUL: the new mp3 file is just white noise (all fuzzy) ?
[00:34] <EastDallas> igie:  Theres another line we might need to check for in your smb.conf
[00:34] <erUSUL> lsdluna: dunno maybe -r was not the correct switch ...
[00:34] <dragon> how can I make a program start at system startup under my uid?
[00:34] <EastDallas> igie: any luck connecting by ip or name now?
[00:34] <igie> EastDallas: Ok I can see the network place, but to open "Igie" its taking a long time
[00:35] <erUSUL> lsdluna: what does « file file.wav » says ?
[00:35] <timboy_> is there a command line to switch to different dns server? I'm trying to help someone change theirs and they can't figure out how to do it in gui...
[00:35] <EastDallas> igie: is it opening?
[00:35] <igie> EastDallas: it says: "Opening "Igie" You can stop this operation by clicking cancel.
[00:35] <lsdluna> erUSUL: Microsoft ASF
[00:35] <igie> East Dallas: it hasn't as yet.
[00:35] <LlamaZorz> Where can I find out what the different highlights in gnome-terminal mean?
[00:36] <EastDallas> igie:  open your smb. conf (sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf) again and look for this line.  name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast.  Change it to name resolve order = wins lmhosts host bcast.  Put wins in front.
[00:37] <igie> EastDallas: unable to mount location, failed to retrieve share list from server.
[00:38] <EastDallas> igie: ok...make the change to your smb.conf...  You'll need to make the same changes to the other machine.
[00:38] <aikul> hola
[00:38] <erUSUL> timboy_: it wont survive a reboot but works for a quick test --> echo -e "nameserver dns1_ip\nnameserver dns2_ip" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf
[00:39] <erUSUL> timboy_: note the \n
[00:39] <igie> EastDallas: I did it here, I'm going to do it there now.
[00:39] <jblack> Does the Karmic livecd install understand how to do lvm2?
[00:40] <EastDallas> igie: make sure you change wins support to yes
[00:40] <erUSUL> timboy_: for example google dns --> echo -e "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>\nnameserver<IP_ADDRESS>" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf
[00:40] <erUSUL> timboy_: for example google dns --> echo -e "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>\nnameserver <IP_ADDRESS>" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf
[00:40] <erUSUL> sorry for the typo
[00:40] <timboy_> erUSUL, will that remove the nameserver that is in there first?
[00:40] <erUSUL> timboy_: will overwritte them yes
[00:41] <Mefached> Where are the configuration files put after an apt-get? I'm tired of the standard configuration of things like shells and other utilities, and I'd like to write my .zshrc and the like from total scratch.
[00:41] <igie> EastDallas: I changed it on both..
[00:41] <igie> EastDallas: still taking forever to open.
[00:41] <erUSUL> Mefached: zshrc is in your home and you can do whatever you want with it
[00:42] <EastDallas> igie: you'll need to restart samba on both machines: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
[00:42] <erUSUL> timboy_: if you want to append use "tee --append"
[00:42] <Nomadluap> how do I change the values listed in "xinput list"?
[00:43] <Mefached> erUSUL: Yes, but a lot of things come with obvious configuration already done, like mrxvt. I want my applications to install completely cleanly of any Ubuntu configuration.
[00:43] <legend2440> lsdluna: try renaming the file from  song.wav to song.asf then try          lame song.asf song.mp3    you may also have to install    ubuntu-restricted-extras  so you have the right codecs for  asf files.  not sure  but you may have to
[00:43] <pilif12p> Whats the apt-get to get mySQL?
[00:43] <wgrant> lla/win 11
[00:43] <erUSUL> pilif12p: sudo aptitude intall mysql-server ??
[00:44] <erUSUL> !software | pilif12p
[00:44] <nomasteryoda> pilif12p, if you type "apt-cache search mysql" you'll get all programs with anything to do with mysql
[00:44] <lsdluna> legend2440: just tried rename, will check if i have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed, get back to you in just a sec
[00:45] <ninggeng2> help please: i installed ubuntu without a network connection, now i have a connection, how do i configure it?
[00:45] <pilif12p>   mysql-server-5.0: Depends: mysql-client-5.0 (>= 5.1.30really5.0.83-0ubuntu3) but it is not going to be installed
[00:45] <pilif12p> E: Broken packages
[00:45] <Typh> I feel dumb for asking this, but I can never figure it out: what's the diff between i386 and amd64 and how do I know which to get?
[00:46] <pilif12p> Typh: amd64 is 64 bit
[00:46] <Mefached> Typh: If you're 32-bit, the first. amd64 is 64-bit.
[00:46] <ardchoil1e> Typh: i386 is 32 bit, amd64 is 64 bit
[00:46] <timboy_> erUSUL, wthx
[00:46] <a> Typh: i386 is for intel cpu, amd64 for amd
[00:46] <hanghai> chan qua
[00:46] <lsdluna> legend2440: Version 36 is already installed. And I get a "Warning: Unsupported audio format"
[00:46] <Typh> and that's the only difference? what odd names.
[00:46] <timboy_> Typh, do you know what processor you have?
[00:46] <timboy_> Typh, how much memory do you have?
[00:47] <igie> EastDallas: Unable to mount location... grrr...
[00:47] <Typh> I know the difference between 32 and 64, I just never understood those identifiers on their own.
[00:47] <timboy_> Typh, 32bit will work on all processors 64 will only work on 64 capable processor
[00:47] <timboy_> 32 will only recognize 3GB of ram and 64 will go over 3GB ram
[00:48] <timboy_> Typh, ^^^
[00:48] <timboy_> erUSUL, thx
[00:48] <ubuntu_> hi, earlier today I installed xubuntu on an usb stick after a shutdown a few minutes ago, the stick wont boot anymore and I get: Not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0) what happened here?
[00:48] <ardchoil1e> timboy_: I thought 32 will rec up to 4gb ram
[00:48] <EastDallas> igie: hmmmm
[00:48] <timboy_> ardchoil1e, no
[00:48] <EastDallas> igie: can you connect via ip?
[00:48] <DaZ> it's approx ~3,5 gb
[00:48] <ardchoil1e> timboy_: Thanks for that info
[00:48] <khelvan> Hi, is there any linux equivalent to chkdsk that can handle NTFS without causing data loss?
[00:48] <ninggeng2> sorry i have to ask this again, how do i get ubuntu to recognize a new network connection
[00:48] <DaZ> and using pae you can get much more.
[00:49] <legend2440> lsdluna: not sure then. i've never tried working with asf  files myself
[00:49] <timboy_> ardchoil1e, it is possible to compile kernel to allow for 3+ but not as easy as 64 install
[00:49] <ardchoil1e> timboy_: Ah, good to know
[00:50] <wgrant> DaZ: But PAE doesn't normally help if you have 4GiB of RAM -- you should still lose the same amount of RAM between 3GiB and 4GiB.

[00:50] <lsdluna> legend2440: yeah I followed the pdf you mentioned earlier for ripping mms audio... only just realised its .asf not .wav... i wonder if I've done something wrong on the ripping procedure
[00:51] <igie> EastDallas: nope, unable to mount
[00:52] <legend2440> lsdluna: maybe i used to download mms streams as wave files and then convert to mp3 so i could use them on my mp3 player. but its been a while since i've don any of that
[00:52] <`mOOse`> ubuntu - turn your machine completely off and then cold reboot - see if it works then
[00:53] <EastDallas> igie:  open your smb.conf again, and change it from wins support = yes to wins support = true
[00:53] <lsdluna> legend2440: it is safe to assume that with lame installed, and the ubuntu-restricted-extras package installed I have the necessary tools and codecs right? Which means I'm just doing something wrong or missing at my end?
[00:54] <legend2440> lsdluna: well according to this you should have the codecs you need in ubuntu-restricted-extras   http://www.ehow.com/how_5234211_convert-asf-mp-linux.html
[00:54] <SilverFox> I'm interested in building a mail server.  I'm moderately familiar with qmail, but it sounds like exim is the MTA of choice for ubuntu?  I need to be able to support SMTP Auth and SSL, and plan to set up webmail as well.  I only use ubuntu server, so should I stick with qmail, or take a try with Exim?  (This needs to be a toaster as well, multiple domains)
[00:54] <igie> EastDallas: Could not display "smb://<IP_ADDRESS>" Error: DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs: Mountpoint Already registered
[00:54] <lstarnes> SilverFox: I thought it was postfix, not exim
[00:55] <legend2440> lsdluna: the wave file sounds good?
[00:55] <wgrant> SilverFox: The Dovecot/Postfix combination is favoured by the Ubuntu Server Guide, which contains full instructions on creating such a mail system.
[00:55] <lsdluna> legend2440: yes I've been on that site too. The wav file sounds perfect.
[00:56] <SilverFox> wgrant: ok.  I'll take a look at that.
[00:56] <steven_Laptop> Hello all were has grub been moved to? (9.10 64bit?
[00:56] <lstarnes> steven_Laptop: grub2 is available for all versions of 9.1-
[00:56] <lstarnes> *9.10
[00:56] <EastDallas> igie, did you change the yes to true on both machines and restart samba?
[00:56] <steven_Laptop> :)
[00:57] <EastDallas> igie: restart samba on both machines?
[00:57] <steven_Laptop> lstarnes, how about xorg?
[00:57] <wgrant> SilverFox: On Ubuntu 9.04 and later, installing the 'dovecot-postfix' will get you a working mail system, which you could easily configure to your needs.
[00:57] <ninggeng> how do i configure network connection after ubuntu is installed?
[00:57] <lstarnes> steven_Laptop: of course!
[00:57] <lstarnes> steven_Laptop: why wouldn't xorg be ported to 64-bit?
[00:57] <timboy_> is there a linux command that is similar to ipconfig -a? ipconfig -a gives you dns etc
[00:58] <steven_Laptop> lstarnes, how do I get it or were can I find Xorg
[00:58] <daftykins> ifconfig -a
[00:58] <steven_Laptop> sorry
[00:58] <daftykins> timboy_: DNS is application layer, hence exists in /etc/resolv.conf
[00:58] <canard> hello, sorry if this question is answered elsewhere but I had difficulty finding it. Is there a good chance I'll be able to get Ubuntu Netbook Remix working on a ``Free Software only'' install? (Acer 150L)
[00:58] <lstarnes> steven_Laptop: it is installed by default in the desktop versions of ubuntu
[00:58] <daftykins> "cat /etc/resolv.conf" is a good way of checking both static and dynamic DNS server IPs
[00:58] <lstarnes> steven_Laptop: if it isn't installed for you, install the xserver-xorg package usign apt-get
[00:58] <legend2440> lsdluna: well you could try installing Audacity  and open the wave file with that and then choose Save As and choose mp3 format
[00:59] <daftykins> ninggeng: have you booted the installation and need to set a static IP?
[00:59] <lsdluna> legend2440: might work, i actually need Audacity to chop the mp3 up into manage-able parts too
[00:59] <legend2440> lsdluna: yes Audacity will do that too
[01:00] <steven_Laptop> Xorg.conf = /etc/X11/xorg correct? not there
[01:01] <daftykins> /etc/X11/ - there's no longer one these days really.
[01:01] <wgrant> steven_Laptop: /etc/X11/xorg.conf has been unnecessary for a year or two now.
[01:01] <lstarnes> steven_Laptop: there can be a /etc/X11/xorg.conf though, but usually Xorg automatically configures itself using HAL and DBus
[01:01] <igie> EastDallas: I made the changes, I can only connect via IP, not via name.. no success by name
[01:02] <EastDallas> igie: are you able to browse folders when you connect via ip?
[01:02] <steven_Laptop> I need a howto on getting xorg please
[01:02] <daftykins> what OS steven_Laptop ?
[01:03] <daftykins> or which ubuntu ver specifically?
[01:03] <wgrant> steven_Laptop: You have X.org if you have a desktop installation of Ubuntu.
[01:03] <dath> how can i stop the screen from turning black when watching a movie
[01:03] <steven_Laptop> 9.10 64bit
[01:03] <wgrant> steven_Laptop: What are you trying to do?
[01:03] <daftykins> there's a meta package called "ubuntu-desktop" you can "sudo apt-get install" if you want the whole desktop.
[01:03] <newser> hello, I have a eeepc with multitouchpad and I just upgraded my system to 9.10, but now the touchpad does not have the same functionality as before. Anyone knows how can I restore the multitouch functionality?
[01:03] <lstarnes> steven_Laptop: which edition did you install?
[01:03] <daftykins> dath: disable or change the timeout for the screensaver
[01:03] <lstarnes> steven_Laptop: the server edition, the desktop edition, or the alternate cd?  Or was it something else?
[01:04] <steven_Laptop> I need to back it up... nvidia has crashed every time I try to install it..
[01:04] <igie> EastDallas: yup, i can browse
[01:04] <ninggeng> daftykins: the installation is booted, and i don't mind being on a dynamic ip, apt-get update is showing cannot resolve xx errors
[01:04] <kain_> hi, how can i change permissions on my whole ntfs drive?
[01:04] <steven_Laptop> lstarnes, desktop
[01:04] <ninggeng> daftykins: so i'm assuming connection error
[01:04] <EastDallas> igie: ok, lets do this.  in a terminal type sudo gedit /etc/hosts
[01:04] <daftykins> ninggeng: ah, is it connected to a router sharing an internet connection?
[01:04] <lstarnes> steven_Laptop: then xorg should be installed on it
[01:04] <Hilikus> hey guys
[01:04] <wgrant> steven_Laptop: You mean you need to back up your X.org configuration?
[01:04] <gnomemage7> list
[01:04] <lstarnes> steven_Laptop: how much ram do you have and what card are you using?
[01:05] <ninggeng> daftyins: yes a switch to a switch then to a router
[01:05] <igie> EastDallas: I did it, what am I looking for ?
[01:05] <daftykins> ninggeng: ok, if you do "ifconfig" do you have correct IP information entered? have you also checked the DNS server IPs in your /etc/resolv.conf ?
[01:05] <Hilikus> i installed X in my ubuntu server and installed the binary nvidia driver to use SVIDEO but my xorg.conf is almost empty, it only has 2 blocks of settings. how can i regenerate it?
[01:05] <anto9us> igie, try <host>.local
[01:05] <canard>  hello, sorry if this question is answered elsewhere but I had
[01:05] <daftykins> ninggeng: also does it fail if you try to ping google.com ?
[01:05] <canard> 	 difficulty finding it. Is there a good chance I'll be able to get
[01:05] <canard> 	 Ubuntu Netbook Remix working on a ``Free Software only'' install?
[01:05] <canard> 	 (Acer 150L)
[01:05] <steven_Laptop> lstarnes, 4g of ram and a 9300M GS card
[01:05] <FloodBot2> canard: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:06] <EastDallas> igie add a line that says <IP_ADDRESS>        Igie
[01:06] <ninggeng> daftykins: ping: unknown host google.com
[01:06] <igie> auto9us: I don't know how to try that. What do i type and where?
[01:06] <daftykins> ninggeng: yeah ok sounds like you don't have any DNS servers entered, is there anything in the file /etc/resolv.conf ?
[01:06] <EastDallas> igie: on the other machine, add the appropriate line for the machine you are on now (i.e. ipaddress    Name)
[01:06] <steven_Laptop> lstarnes, I was going to conf. my own install with nvidia
[01:06] <manimecker> hey
[01:06] <manimecker> hello
[01:06] <anto9us> igie, just add .local to the hostname
[01:06] <manimecker> how to register
[01:07] <manimecker> how to register
[01:07] <LP> hi, anyone knows how to disable IPv6 DNS queries in a fresh Ubuntu 9.10 desktop i386 ?
[01:07] <ardchoil1e> !register | manimecker
[01:07] <ninggeng> daftykins: empty
[01:07] <manimecker> thanks
[01:07] <manimecker> !register
[01:07] <manimecker> !register | HABBO89
[01:07] <igie> ok, thanks.. Let me try
[01:07] <manimecker> !register | manimecker
[01:08] <daftykins> ninggeng: ok what is your router's IP range? (e.g. 192.168.x.x ?)
[01:08] <ninggeng> daftykins: yes, <IP_ADDRESS>-254
[01:08] <EastDallas> igie: btw...these ARE case sensitive, so I would suggest you use all lower case
[01:08] <daftykins> ninggeng: on a terminal type: echo nameserver <IP_ADDRESS> > /etc/resolv.conf (where 0.1 you change to be your router's IP)
[01:09] <daftykins> then try pinging google again
[01:09] <daftykins> this tells it to ask your router for DNS queries
[01:09] <igie> EastDallas: ok
[01:09] <manimecker_> !channel
[01:09] <EastDallas> igie: see if you can open by name
[01:10] <kain_> i've mounted my ntfs partition with umask 007, why is it the the permission "write" isn't there?
[01:10] <ninggeng> daftykins: did echo ns for 0.1 and 0.3 (router ip) but ping still nothing
[01:10] <igie> EastDallas: Success :o)
[01:11] <igie> EastDallas: now the proof of success will be if it works after i restart both machines...
[01:11] <ninggeng> daftykins: actually
[01:11] <igie> EastDallas: brb with results :o) thanks :o)
[01:11] <EastDallas> igie: you'll probably want to give both of these computers static IPs
[01:11] <berrybarry> anyone have experince with ffserver?
[01:11] <EastDallas> igie..don't leave yet
[01:11] <canard> Hello, sorry. Does anyone have any idea about the success rate of free siftware only installs using ubuntu netbook remix
[01:11] <ninggeng> daftykins: writing it with echo gave me a -bash ** permission denied
[01:11] <ninggeng> daftykins: trying su
[01:11] <daftykins> ninggeng: ok it might be different, use a text editor and edit /etc/resolv.conf and try using the OpenDNS IPs, so you'd have the following content in /etc/resolv.conf ... http://pastebin.com/d2374783f
[01:11] <igie> EastDallas: ok
[01:12] <daftykins> ah yeah sorry you probably do need permissions ninggeng
[01:12] <igie> EastDallas: how can I give them static addresses?
[01:12] <berrybarry> igie need help?
[01:12] <emanux> hello, just install ekiga, how can use it as replacement to hardware IP phone. im currently connected to our office now
[01:12] <berrybarry> igie no-ip man
[01:12] <EastDallas> Igie: judging by the fact that one machines IP is <IP_ADDRESS>, you can probably just choose anything from <IP_ADDRESS>-99
[01:12] <emanux> what configuration to make it work?
[01:12] <emanux> thanks.
[01:12] <Pedrolito> hi, all of a sudden, after a reboot, karmic fails to load the X server as usual. I get in some log the error "(EE) Failed to load module "i810" (module does not exist, 0)"
[01:13] <EastDallas> igie: you'll need to change that hosts file to match the new ips
[01:13] <daftykins> Pedrolito: at terminal try typing "sudo modprobe i810"
[01:13] <berrybarry> igie no-ip.com sign up and download ubuntu from manager
[01:13] <newser> hello, how can I enable the multitouchpad feature? I have an eeepc 904ha
[01:13] <EastDallas> igie: system>Preferences>network connections
[01:14] <EastDallas> igie: click on the appropriate connection and choose 'Edit'
[01:14] <ninggeng> daftykins: ok the line "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>" is in /etc/resolv.conf but can't ping google still
[01:14] <daftykins> hmm
[01:14] <daftykins> ninggeng: ok can you type out the output of "route -n" ?
[01:15] <colemickens> I have Mac OS X and Windows on my laptop. I removed GRUB, I thought, but it is still showing up when I try to use my Boot Camp parition in Parallels
[01:15] <manimecker_> hello
[01:15] <EastDallas> Igie: if it's a wired connection go to the IPv4 tab choose 'Manual' from the drop down.
[01:15] <colemickens> How/what can I do to ensure that GRUB is gone completely?
[01:15] <daftykins> colemickens: which windows?
[01:15] <newser> hello, anyone knows how can I enable the multitouchpad feature on ubuntu 9.10? I have an eeepc 904ha
[01:15] <colemickens> I already ran Window's fixboot, fixmbr. daftykins, Windows 7.
[01:15] <ninggeng> daftykins: destination: <IP_ADDRESS> gateway <IP_ADDRESS> genmask <IP_ADDRESS> flags: U metric 0 Ref 0 Use 0 Iface virbr0
[01:16] <lsdluna> legend2440: solved the issue ^.^
[01:16] <legend2440> lsdluna: Audacity worked?
[01:16] <daftykins> colemickens: are you sure they're the appropriate ones for win7?
[01:17] <lsdluna> legend2440: had to convert asf to wav via mplayer, then use lame to convert wav to mp3. Audacity didn't work. But i'm sure it will now
[01:17] <daftykins> ninggeng: ah so your network is actually 192.168.122.x ? or at least ubuntu thinks so
[01:17] <daftykins> ninggeng: are you 100% sure it's 192.168.0.x ?
[01:17] <legend2440> lsdluna: ok very good  persistence paid off
[01:17] <ninggeng> daftykins: hmm
[01:17] <lsdluna> legend2440: yes thanks for the initial help ^.^
[01:18] <colemickens> daftykins the tools? I actually ran bootrec /fixboot and bootrec /fixmbr, which are appropriate (and only available in) the Windows 7 Recovery Console
[01:18] <legend2440> lsdluna: your welcome
[01:18] <ninggeng> daftykins: yes, it shouldnt be 122 tho
[01:18] <daftykins> ah right, that's the equivalent of what i would've done then colemickens - i'm surprised it's still there
[01:18] <EastDallas> Igie: (you could make one 50 and the other 51) the address is going to be <IP_ADDRESS>, netmask is <IP_ADDRESS> and gateway is your router's IP address.  For DNS you should be able to get the addresses from your router.  Just enter them both separated by a comma.  Sometimes you can just enter your router's IP for the DNS.  Depends on the router
[01:18] <daftykins> ninggeng: what's the IP on the comp you're on now then?
[01:18] <colemickens> daftykins, Windows 7 boots fine (and without GRUB) when I restart my computer. When I try to load parallels and have it boot from the bootcamp partition, it acts like its going to boot GRUB, which I don't understand.
[01:18] <newser> !multitouchpad
[01:19] <colemickens> daftykins, I'm shocked to be honest. I think I'm going to remake the VM, but I can't imagine that its just pulling that out of no where
[01:19] <kemuffkamelen> In ubuntu, what is the standard procedure to get a mouse to work in CLI?
[01:19] <ninggeng> daftykins: one i'm on is <IP_ADDRESS> sitting on the same switch
[01:19] <daftykins> ah ok
[01:19] <aman> Hi
[01:20] <EastDallas> Igie:  The IP address should be <IP_ADDRESS>, not a TWO.
[01:20] <daftykins> ninggeng: try "sudo route del net <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <IP_ADDRESS>"
[01:20] <aman> Sorry I'm in rush and in deep need for help
[01:20] <daftykins> ninggeng: did that complete ok? should delete that first entry route -n gives
[01:20] <EastDallas> Igie: I hope that's not too confusing
[01:20] <LP> anyone knows how to disable IPv6 DNS queries in a fresh Ubuntu 9.10 desktop i386 ? (something like "no-ipv6" in /etc/resolv.conf ?!!)
[01:20] <a> aman: what's the prob ?
[01:20] <seizui> Guh... this is a bit aggrivating.
[01:21] <ninggeng> daftykins: net: unknows host
[01:21] <ninggeng> daftykins: unknown*
[01:21] <aman> I just want to enable the mic
[01:21] <daftykins> er try typing it as -net
[01:21] <seizui> I read through the problem. Unfortunately, still haven't figured out how to fix grub2 from freezing on me.
[01:21] <aman> I want to listen to my voice while using the mic
[01:21] <a> aman: what is you sys ?
[01:21] <seizui> Err.. through the grub2 webpage.
[01:21] <aman> ubuntu 9.10
[01:21] <ninggeng> daftykins: complete no feedback
[01:21] <narselon> I need help with applying gtk themes. When I try to enable them only the color scheme seems to apply except in root applications, which are fully themed. I know why the opposite would happen but I have no clue why only root applications work.
[01:22] <nickzxcv> so, I have been able to boot the ubuntu installer in xen 3.4.1, but it doesn't include the xen-netfront module so there is no network interface
[01:22] <aman> the mic works fine and I can use the sound recorder fine
[01:22] <nickzxcv> using http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/karmic/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/
[01:22] <daftykins> ninggeng: cool, now do "sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.x netmask <IP_ADDRESS>" where "x" is an IP you're not already using on the network
[01:22] <Pedrolito> sorry, to whomever who answered me, the low resolution xsever that is currently running on my computer crashed
[01:22] <aman> a: I just need to get the mic to work "live"
[01:22] <Freemind9> I'm installing Return to Castle Wolfenstein for Linux following the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games/Native/ReturnToCastleWolfenstein and am at the point of executing the file ./wolf-linux-1.41b.x86.run, but get the following message: '/bin/sh: Can't open ./wolf-linux-1.41b.x86.run' and I'm wondering if I've done something wrong, have a corrupted file, or what...
[01:22] <daftykins> ninggeng: then do "sudo route add default gw 192.168.0.x" where x is the IP of your gateway to the Internet, so the router IP
[01:22] <seizui> I can only get -around- the log in problem, but trying to get into Ubuntu is still longer than it should be.
[01:22] <Pedrolito> I did sudo modprobe i810, and it seems to work
[01:22] <nickzxcv> is there an ubuntu installer that works with xen or should I just use debootstrap?
[01:23] <daftykins> Pedrolito: cool :)
[01:23] <Pedrolito> daftykins, but, I thought the driver for my chipset was supposed to be the intel one
[01:23] <daftykins> i810 means intel 810 chipset
[01:24] <Pedrolito> oh ok
[01:24] <Pedrolito> what should I do now to reboot using the normal driver?
[01:24] <daftykins> it should be permanently set now
[01:24] <dtork> anyone know how I can get my sources.list file back after seeing this: Unable to read /etc/apt/sources.list?
[01:25] <Pedrolito> so if I reboot it should work fine?
[01:25] <daftykins> Pedrolito: you can start X with "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart"
[01:25] <Pedrolito> ok let me try this
[01:25] <daftykins> or reboot yeah :)
[01:25] <ninggeng> daftykins: SIOCADDRT: No such process
[01:25] <seizui> Guh, so is there a way to fix the GRUB2 freeze-up? I mean, all what I've seen is stuff being installed from Windows, but there isn't anything that really gives me any indication of 'a -fresh- copy of Ubuntu 9.10'.
[01:26] <daftykins> ninggeng: ah your interface might not be called "eth0", try "ifconfig -a" for a full name
[01:26] <ninggeng> daftykins: eth0 , lo & virbr0
[01:27] <daftykins> was it the eth0 one that failed? try "sudo ifconfig eth0 up" first and then the above again if so
[01:28] <evon> hello. i would like to access a network drive from ubuntu but I can't
[01:28] <seizui> Guh.
[01:28] <evon> the drive i am trying to access is an ubuntu machine
[01:28] <legend2440> dtork: in terminal try gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[01:28] <evon> i set the permissions and shared the drive through nautilus but my other computer can't see it
[01:28] <evon> can anyone help?
[01:29] <ninggeng> daftykins: oh that made eth0 UP, but still SIOCADDRT no such process
[01:29] <daftykins> ninggeng: what exactly are you typing when it fails?
[01:29] <tbrock_> hey guys, i was wondering if you might be able to help me with a xbmc-live question, it's based on ubuntu
[01:29] <asdf25> join #haskell
[01:29] <daftykins> tbrock_: yeah i just tested the latest RC recently, it's looking good
[01:29] <asdf25> oops
[01:29] <a> !xbmc
[01:29] <tbrock_> daftykins: yeah same
[01:29] <centHOGG> !info xbmc
[01:30] <ninggeng> daftykins: sudo route add default gw <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:30] <tbrock_> although now when it boots it drops to console
[01:30] <seizui> Ugh....
[01:30] <tbrock_> i boot off the usb stick, works grea
[01:30] <tbrock_> great*
[01:30] <evon> hello. i would like to access a network drive from ubuntu but I can't
[01:30] <a> tbrock_: what is you prob ?
[01:30] <daftykins> ah, might be -add ninggeng , sorry i can't boot a Linux machine to 100% proof my commands :D
[01:30] <Pedrolito> daftykins, that did not work. The screen flickered a few times, and then I went back to the same situation
[01:30] <tbrock_> however, i installed it, ran apt-get update/upgrade and installed nvidia drivers, now xbmc only starts when i type startx
[01:30] <evon> the drive i am trying to access is an ubuntu machine
[01:30] <tbrock_> it use to start automatically
[01:30] <evon> i set the permissions and shared the drive through nautilus but my other computer can't see it
[01:30] <evon> can anyone help?
[01:30] <tbrock_> now it just has a black screen or console
[01:31] <daftykins> Pedrolito: ok maybe there's a more suitable driver for your graphics, whatever it is
[01:31] <tbrock_> any ideas?
[01:31] <ninggeng> daftykins: ahaha sorry i'm not experienced enough to know the difference
[01:31] <daftykins> tbrock_: yeah, i installed on one PC then ran it on another
[01:31] <dsnyders> Hi all!  Is there a linux tool for reading Windows Vista event logs?
[01:31] <daftykins> tbrock_: because my intended test machine refused to boot my CD-R ;/ did you do the same?
[01:31] <sandman> Doesn't Ubuntu have a 64-bit download?
[01:31] <lsdluna> is there a quick way i can alter the ID3tags of an mp3 via terminal i.e the title, artist, album?
[01:31] <Pedrolito> daftykins, what I don't understand is that my system has been working fine for a couple months, and then , all of a sudden, I rebooted today and I got this
[01:31] <tbrock_> no booting works
[01:31] <tbrock_> everything is fine
[01:32] <gimpy5301> Anyone know why a machine would prompt for a password for SSH when it should use a key, but only when it tries to SSH to itself?  SSH to other machines works fine and authorized_keys is correct.  It just prompts for a password when SSHing to itself.
[01:32] <tbrock_> except for the fact that xbmc won't start on boot
[01:32] <tbrock_> i can't figure out why
[01:32] <a> tbrock_: you xorg server is broken
[01:32] <tbrock_> i would think so
[01:32] <df00zzzz> Hey, I'm running ubuntu server.  Is it possible to get the system->administration->Language Support app
[01:32] <daftykins> a: no that's inapplicable to XBMC on it
[01:32] <tbrock_> but it works when i login and type start x
[01:32] <df00zzzz> What package do I have to install for that
[01:32] <daftykins> tbrock_: give me one second
[01:32] <tbrock_> ok
[01:32] <ninggeng> daftykins: sudo route -add default gw xxxxx gives "invalid option -- 'a' , 'd', 'd'
[01:32] <tbrock_> is it possible that the x server that gets started on boot is different than the one that starts when i type startx
[01:32] <dsnyders> Pedrolito, It's possible for an automatic update to foul up things.
[01:33] <tbrock_> ?
[01:33] <a> tbrock_: recover a xorg conf backup ?
[01:33] <daftykins> ah ok ninggeng sorry i must be remembering wrong
[01:33] <legend2440> lsdluna: not sure about cli   but easytag is good  its in synaptic
[01:33] <exodus_ms> LjL thank you for your help
[01:33] <gimpy5301> ninggeng: get rid of the dash before the add
[01:33] <lsdluna> legend2440: thanks will get that right away
[01:33] <daftykins> a: please, none of your suggestions are appropriate for XBMC live
[01:33] <tbrock_> a: dod that
[01:33] <Pedrolito> daftykins,  the only possibly sensitive package that was updated since the previous working reboot is upstart
[01:33] <Pedrolito> daftykins, is there a way to downgrade it?
[01:33] <daftykins> Pedrolito: sorry i've no idea then, your issue is beyond me
[01:33] <gregb> Having usb device (specialized) permissions issue on 9.10 x86 32bit. Can interact with via sudo, but not as regular user.
[01:34] <tbrock_> how can i see what is trying to start x on bootup
[01:34] <tbrock_> ?
[01:34] <a> daftykins: alright alright I'll shut up
[01:34] <ninggeng> gimpy: did that had "SIOCADDRT: No such process"
[01:34] <Pedrolito> daftykins, ok, thanks for trying
[01:34] <tbrock_> you know what I'm saying
[01:34] <sandman> Is Ubuntu's package repository locked each release?
[01:34] <tbrock_> how is that different than me typing startx
[01:34] <tbrock_> cause that works great
[01:34] <tbrock_> does it use another type of xorg?
[01:34] <tbrock_> or xorg.conf?
[01:34] <daftykins> tbrock_: http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?s=f8122f4fd59a98a8e68d6a71d98662fb&t=62341
[01:34] <jtaji> tbrock_: no by default, gdm starts x
[01:35] <daftykins> there is no GDM on XBMC live because there is no login process (:
[01:35] <igie> EastDallas: sorry i had to do something real quick
[01:35] <df00zzzz> can someone do me a huge favor, go to edit menus, and look at what application "Language Support" is under system->administration
[01:35] <df00zzzz> It would give me something to google at least
[01:35] <igie> EastDallas: So what do i need to put in the DNS Server field?
[01:35] <df00zzzz> dont know what package i need to install to get that app
[01:36] <EastDallas> igie:  no problem...gave me chance 2 fix some dinner :)
[01:36] <jc> hi
[01:36] <jc> i've got a problem
[01:36] <igie> EastDallas: perfect
[01:36] <EastDallas> igie: get all my instrux?
[01:36] <legend2440> df00zzzz: /usr/bin/gnome-language-selector
[01:36] <dsnyders> df00zzzz, mine shows /usr/bin/gnome-language-selector
[01:36] <df00zzzz> Thanks guys!
[01:36] <igie> EastDallas: yup
[01:36] <jc> who has knowledge of JACK and MIDI?
[01:37] <daftykins> ninggeng: what is in your /etc/network/interfaces file for eth0? any references?
[01:37] <gdiz> hey everyone, is it possible to give a program root permission.  I want the program to be able to shutdown the computer without asking me, is that possible?
[01:37] <df00zzzz> Thanks, I found the package
[01:37] <EastDallas> igie: I screwed up that ip at first.  make sure you use a 1 instead of a two.  <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:37] <a> Gdiz, run it with sudo
[01:37] <daftykins> gdiz: you need to add it to the sudoers file, i've no idea where or how, but i'm pretty sure that's what you want to do :)
[01:37] <tbrock_> daftykins: that look shelpful
[01:38] <igie> EastDallas: I did, how about the DNS server field, what goes there? the ip?
[01:38] <jc> who knows about jack and can help me with midi connection?
[01:38] <ninggeng> daftykins: auto lo , iface lo inet loopback
[01:38] <digitalaxis> Hey all
[01:38] <EastDallas> igie: you should be able to get the ip addresses of your dns servers from your router's status page.
[01:39] <Freemind9> Ok, found it.
[01:39] <gdiz> daftykins, got it...i'll go looking
[01:39] <berrybarry> EastDallas do you need a static ip help/dns/domain?
[01:39] <binMonkey> hi, guys.  does anyone else here use the chess database 'jose'?
[01:40] <EastDallas> berrybarry: I'm walking him through setting static IP
[01:40] <daftykins> ninggeng: ah, add the extra lines "auto eth0" then "iface eth0 inet dhcp" below it
[01:40] <daftykins> then reboot
[01:40] <ninggeng> ok
[01:41] <berrybarry> EastDallas have him go set up account at no-ip.com and then install no-ip2 under sPM
[01:41] <EastDallas> igie: enter this command to get your dns ips: cat /etc/resolv.conf
[01:41] <berrybarry> EastDallas thats all simple
[01:42] <EastDallas> berrybarry: he just needs static ips so host names will resolve correctly on the local network.
[01:42] <nexcez> net
[01:43] <berrybarry> EastDallas whats services is he looking to install?
[01:43] <EastDallas> berrybarry: he's not installing any services, he just wants to access his samba shares using host names instead of ips.
[01:43] <EastDallas> berrybarry:  wins wasn't cooperating
[01:44] <x_> hi all
[01:44] <gregb> Hi everybody. I need to understand USB device permissions for 9.10. Any links?
[01:44] <x_> how can i add vpn connection
[01:44] <daftykins> x_: you need to install a VPN provider app, do "apt-cache search vpn" for plugins to network manager
[01:44] <ninggeng> daftykins: YES!! ping google success
[01:44] <EastDallas> berrybarry: so he just added the info to his hosts files, and I thought static ips was probably the safest way to make sure he didn't have to do it again.
[01:45] <daftykins> x_: "network-manager-openvpn" is an example package
[01:45] <berrybarry> EastDallas I would help him make a ftp.... so easy :)
[01:45] <daftykins> ninggeng: cool :) sorry i went such a long way about it, pretty tired here XD
[01:45] <ninggeng> daftykins: so it was just the two lines from etc/network/interface that was missing?
[01:45] <igie> EastDallas: ok so that didn't work
[01:45] <daftykins> to have DHCP running yeah ninggeng
[01:45] <ninggeng> daftykins: your help is greatly appreciated
[01:45] <daftykins> by the way is it a desktop ubuntu install?
[01:46] <ninggeng> no server
[01:46] <EastDallas> igie: what do you mean it didn't work?
[01:46] <igie> EastDallas: i got disconnected from the net all together
[01:46] <ninggeng> now i'm wishing i had GUI
[01:46] <daftykins> ninggeng: ah ok cool, because specifying an interface in the interfaces file with a desktop prevents network manager working, just something worth bearing in mind
[01:46] <berrybarry> EastDallas is this samba your trying to do?
[01:46] <daftykins> ninggeng: "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" ;)
[01:47] <ninggeng> daftykins: hmm
[01:47] <seizui> Hrm.
[01:47] <daftykins> there's an echo in here ;)
[01:47] <igie> EastDallas: the ip and gateway and net mask... do i get those from the status tab in my router ?
[01:47] <EastDallas> well, everything should work fine with the dynamic IPs, but at some point they might change, and you'll have to go back and edit your hosts file again with the new IP addresses
[01:47] <ubuntu__1> I'm trying to get 1366x768 but don't know how.  Can anyone help me/
[01:47] <ubuntu__1> ?
[01:47] <seizui> Hah.
[01:47] <helluvaCSmajor> how do i create a user with the same priveliges as the user created during installation?
[01:47] <ubuntu__1> I have no /etc/X11/xorg.conf file yet.
[01:47] <seizui> I'm just fiddling with GRUB2, which is pissing me off with the loading.
[01:47] <EastDallas> igie: The IP is whatever you want it to be as long as it starts 192.168.1.
[01:47] <ubuntu__1> Anyone?
[01:47] <seizui> Reading through these files, I am still not coming up with any way to -fix- the problem.
[01:48] <EastDallas> igie: the last number needs to be between 2 and 99
[01:48] <EastDallas> igie the mask is <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:48] <seizui> And I am getting the feeling that I may have to downgrade it to 9.08.
[01:48] <EastDallas> igie: the gateway is your router's ip address (probably <IP_ADDRESS>)
[01:48] <igie> EastDallas: my Static DNS1: in the router is <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:48] <igie> does that matter?
[01:49] <ninggeng> daftykins: is ubuntu-desktop really a package?
[01:49] <EastDallas> igie: what ip address to you type in to access your router?
[01:49] <igie> <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:49] <soopos> I have Apache running. What does it mean that I do not have the file  /var/run/httpd.pid?
[01:49] <daftykins> ninggeng: yeah it's a meta package that installs everything needed for the desktop. if i were you i'd run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" first though
[01:49] <EastDallas> igie: ok, that's your gateway
[01:49] <igie> this machine i'm on now is .1.100
[01:49] <ninggeng> daftykins: just did sudo apt-get update and its running
[01:50] <EastDallas> igie: are all of the other machines over 100?
[01:50] <ninggeng> daftykins: cool
[01:50] <daftykins> ninggeng: cool :) right i must get to bed, almost 2am :) enjoy!
[01:50] <berrybarry> soopos #apache
[01:50] <daftykins> bye for now all o/
[01:50] <igie> EastDallas: let me check
[01:50] <EastDallas> igie: you can get the dns server ips by opening a terminal and typing: cat /etc/resolv.conf
[01:50] <ninggeng> bye
[01:50] <EastDallas> igie: forget what I said about finding the dns on your router's status page just use: cat /etc/resolv.conf
[01:51] <helluvaCSmajor> how do i make a user account with the proper priveliges?
[01:51] <igie> EastDallas: yes they are all above 100
[01:51] <EastDallas> igie, then you should be able to choose any number above 1 and below 100 for your static ips.  I use 10-20 for mine.
[01:52] <emanux> i just installed ekiga and how can configure to make local calls?
[01:52] <emanux>  and as replacement for IP Phone (hardware)
[01:52] <emanux>  thanks
[01:53] <igie> EastDallas: what should I put in DNS Servers: and Search Domains:  ??
[01:53] <gregb> helluvaCSmajor: desktop? If so, System->Administration->Users and Groups, then Add User, select  Profile: Administrator
[01:54] <TJLN> hi Does matter if im going to install ubuntu on primary or logical partition i mean should be ubuntu installed only on primary disk ?
[01:54] <helluvaCSmajor> i did that, but when i go to users and groups under the new user, they get an error that they do not have access
[01:55] <AyCarumba> Is there such thing as "themes" for terminal?
[01:55] <gregb> helluvaCSmajor: $ grep admin /etc/group and see whether the new user is listed.
[01:56] <skylar_> hey, I've tried installing skype from http://www.skype.com/download/skype/linux/choose/ but In the package installer i get a status message saying wrong architecture.
[01:56] <helluvaCSmajor> yes, that user is listed
[01:56] <skylar_> The download does say for hardy , not  karmic which I am using but does that make such a difference
[01:56] <Zenith88> how can I change console resolution? neither vga option seems to work.
[01:56] <gregb> helluvaCSmajor: OK, so what doesn't work?
[01:56] <helluvaCSmajor> users and groups gives an error
[01:57] <helluvaCSmajor> i am trying to reproduce the error, one sec
[01:58] <helluvaCSmajor> it says, you are not allowed to access the system configuration
[01:58] <AyCarumba> Is there such thing as themes for terminal to change the look of it?
[01:58] <gregb> helluvaCSmajor: This is logged in as the first user, or the newly setup one?
[01:58] <aarcane> so can I install the installer on a USB drive, and have it be usable as both a fully featured, updatable, with nvidia drivers, etc. install, but also retain the installer and it's full functionality ?
[01:59] <digitalaxis> Guys is there a better IM system than pidgin? it doesnt even add new buddies when i ask it too lol
[01:59] <helluvaCSmajor> the new user, the original user can access it just fine
[01:59] <helluvaCSmajor> the original must then unlock, but this error is before the window even shows up
[01:59] <timber> hi, can anyone tell me which ports should i open for use the webcam with aMSN?
[01:59] <Trota> digitalaxis: try emesene
[02:00] <gregb> helluvaCSmajor: no idea, but perhaps look at /etc/group carefully. Perhaps you need to add the new user to some of the groups.
[02:00] <helluvaCSmajor> the new user is in both groups listed
[02:01] <Kamokow> Computer janitor wants to remove "linux-headers-2.6.31-14" and "linux-headers-2.6.31-14-generic," why?
[02:01] <aarcane> helluvaCSmajor, have you tried chmod g=rw yet ?
[02:01] <timber> please, can anyone tell me which ports should i open for use the webcam with aMSN?
[02:01] <helluvaCSmajor> no
[02:01] <Zenith88> how can I change console resolution? neither vga option seems to work. vga=ask and any vga=0x... is 'deprecated'.
[02:01] <helluvaCSmajor> on any file?
[02:01] <aarcane> helluvaCSmajor, on whichever file you're having issues with.
[02:01] <bung> can someone link me to a better blu-ray guide then https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/BluRayAndHDDVD
[02:01] <helluvaCSmajor> not sure which file, it is the users and groups menu option in the system menu
[02:01] <bung> it doesnt explain bluray well at all
[02:01] <aarcane> helluvaCSmajor, if that works, then set your umask or umode accordingly.
[02:01] <gregb> helluvaCSmajor: Yes, but there are lots of groups in /etc/group. I'm listed in 16 groups.
[02:02] <gregb> helluvaCSmajor: perhaps the new user has to be a member of some obscure group.
[02:03] <helluvaCSmajor> mine just lists two
[02:04] <HaskellLove> lets say i install the SML compiler and i dont know where ubuntu put it... how to find where it is installed?

[02:05] <trism> HaskellLove: you can see all the files installed by any package with dpkg -L package_name

[02:06] <fractalis> I have a question which I'm not sure #ubuntu may be able to answer. Trying to setup DD-WRT and my local machine to allow outside ssh and http connections. Obviously, it works when connecting from localhost, but doesn't respond when I connect via my WAN IP. I've set up port forwarding in DD-WRT, don't believe I have a firewall in Linux running, and nothing in the log files stands out. Anyone have any advice on debugging the issue?
[02:06] <Trota> if its there , $sudo apitude install <name>
[02:06] <HaskellLove> trism dpkg -L stands for?
[02:06] <Trota> tritium, didnt know!
[02:06] <Trota> ll
[02:07] <tritium> fractalis: did you install openssh-server (or ssh) on the linux box you're trying to ssh to?
[02:07] <fractalis> tritium: Yes, I installed openssh-server via apt-get.
[02:07] <trism> HaskellLove: man dpkg
[02:07] <i_is_broke> HaskellLove, stands for debian packaging list.
[02:08] <HaskellLove> dpkg sml i do that and i get just options but...
[02:09] <AyCarumba> Is there such thing as themes for terminal to change the look of it?
[02:09] <Blue1> i am having a problem with the netbook remix dropping my wireless connection after a few minutes (5 or so) suggestions?
[02:09] <bigdavjoker> Need help booting from windows partition after copying it from bad hard drive Ubuntu boots fine but can't get windows to load after grub finds it
[02:09] <khelvan> Hi, is there any linux equivalent to chkdsk that can handle NTFS without causing data loss?
[02:09] <Blue1> khelvan: fsck?
[02:09] <Chewie[]> bigdavjoker: get a windows install disk, go into the repair console, use fixboot.
[02:10] <stanley_robertso> hi all
[02:10] <lockd> AyCarumba, some terminals have themes support
[02:10] <Chewie[]> bigdavjoker: er, my bad ... use bootcfg. use the /scan then /rebuild switches. if that doesn't work, do a fixboot /mbr, then reinstall grub.
[02:10] <lockd> AyCarumba, mainly they just change colors and background
[02:11] <bigdavjoker> Chewie[],  thanks
[02:11] <timber> which msn client have a nice integration with webcam?
[02:11] <Chewie[]> timber: amsn is closest, iirc
[02:11] <gregb> Where to find USB permissions docs?
[02:11] <Chewie[]> gregb: what exactly do you mean?
[02:11] <AyCarumba> lockd: web site?
[02:12] <gregb> Chewie[]: I have a USB device that I can access via sudo, but not as regular user.
[02:12] <centaur5> I know there is another open source project besides unattended that will manage network installs of windows from Linux. Could anybody tell me the name of it?
[02:12] <timber> Chewie[]: do you know which ports i have to open for the webcam works in a connection firewalled by a router?
[02:12] <Guest88667> 33194967
[02:13] <lockd> AyCarumba, oh, you're looking to find predefined color sets?
[02:13] <AyCarumba> lockd: Anything.
[02:13] <Chewie[]> question: i have two monitors (one large good one, one bad old one) and i have them twinview'd together with the nvidia driver. i have compiz running and when i use desktop wall or desktop cube, it switches both displays together. is there a way to disable desktops on the secondary monitor only? (i do not want it to be on a separate X server.)
[02:13] <lockd> AyCarumba, gnome-terminal, the default Ubuntu terminal, has theme support already
[02:14] <Chewie[]> timber: no. are you sending or receiving?
[02:14] <lockd> or used to
[02:14] <AyCarumba> lockd: How do I get it?
[02:14] <timber> Chewie[]: i'm trying to do both
[02:14] <Chewie[]> timber: and neither work with amsn? alternatively: what have you tried?
[02:15] <HaskellLove> isn't this same as foldr in Haskell, this is SML: reduce f b [i1, i2, i3] = f(i1, f(i2, f(i3, b)))
[02:15] <lockd> AyCarumba, get what? the terminal app? it's installed in Ubuntu (GNOME version) by default
[02:15] <timber> Chewie[]: i've tried make a video call, just send, just receive, no one worked
[02:15] <Zenith88> did anybody try setting console resolution to anything other than standard 640x480? how can I change console resolution? neither vga option seems to work.
[02:15] <donavan_> someone please help
[02:15] <EtherNet> hello everyone
[02:15] <EtherNet> has anyone tried Ubuntu on a Mac computer?
[02:15] <donavan_> can I get assistance]
[02:15] <Chewie[]> timber: with what client?
[02:16] <timber> Chewie[]: with amsn
[02:16] <Chewie[]> donavan_: what's up / what's your question?
[02:16] <dsnyders> Hi all!  Is there a linux tool for reading Windows Vista event logs?
[02:16] <Daifan> Zenith88: do you have a graphics card?
[02:16] <AyCarumba> lockd: No. How do I get other preset themes? where?
[02:16] <Alexandra> \join debian
[02:16] <donavan_> my firefox browser wont launch
[02:16] <Zenith88> Daifan: an extra one?
[02:17] <Chewie[]> timber: hmm =/  who is your isp? and do you have a complex home network or anything?
[02:17] <Daifan> Zenith88: no, is there one that is installed in your linux machine.
[02:17] <Chewie[]> donavan_: does it give an error message?
[02:17] <seizui> Okay, that didn't work.
[02:17] <alpha> Hi, I have installed 9.04 and updates on netbook How do I make usb to reload including updates
[02:17] <lockd> AyCarumba, just start with one that's close to what you want, and tweak it
[02:17] <donavan_> no errror msg and I have high speed internet
[02:17] <AyCarumba> lockd: n/m. I found it in preferences. I just thought there was downloadable theme that change effects and color of the terminal
[02:17] <seizui> Man, GRUB2 is a nightmare.
[02:18] <Zenith88> Daifan: of course, it's GF 6800. when I used Fedora and 2.6.32, I used 0x346 mode. but now under 9.10 the vga option always results in 'deprecated' error
[02:18] <seizui> Thought the one method would fix the problem... that's... a negative.
[02:18] <timber> Chewie[]: i don't know exactly, because i'm at my grandmother house, but the network is simple, there's only one router and my computer is the only one connected with it
[02:18] <Daifan> Zenith88: Have you installed the drivers?
[02:18] <gregb> Chewie:  I have a USB device that I can access via sudo, but not as regular user.
[02:18] <Chewie[]> donavan_: open a terminal (alt+f2 then type: gnome-terminal) and enter the command: pkill firefox
[02:18] <Alexandra> Hey folks, can someone tell me how to find out the disksize of a partition via uuid?
[02:18] <Alexandra> df -h /dev/disk/by-uuid/whatever
[02:19] <Alexandra> doesn't help
[02:19] <Zenith88> Daifan: hard to tell, I just did an almost complete install of Ubuntu, choosing mostly default packages.
[02:19] <mesula1> Ubuntu freezes up and becomes very sluggish for several seconds whenever my Wi-Fi connection drops.
[02:19] <Chewie[]> timber: hmm. i'm not too sure then. i have usually had it "just work" for the 1-2 times i have used webcams with amsn.
[02:19] <winmutt> i have a software raid 1 thats not coming up. showing md_d0 : inactive sdc[1](S) what does this mean
[02:19] <Zenith88> Daifan: the X have NV driver installed
[02:19] <mgolisch> Alexandra: is that filesystem mounted? i think df only works for mounted filesystems
[02:20] <timber> Chewie[]: ok, thanks for the help
[02:20] <Alexandra> Hi mgolisch: yes it is mounted
[02:20] <Daifan> Zenith88: You're using ubuntu desktop? There should be something in the System menu that will install drivers for you.
[02:21] <Chewie[]> gregb: how do you access it?
[02:21] <Zenith88> Daifan: Using Ubuntu Studio. Which driver should I install?
[02:21] <rendy> Hi. I want to Boot ubuntu straight into command line without GUI. Is it possible?
[02:22] <Daifan> Zenith88: Follow this tutorial right here. http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/nvidia
[02:22] <Daifan> rendy: uninstall X
[02:22] <Chewie[]> rendy: would installing debian without X do the job?
[02:22] <xett> Rendy - yes, you have to stop X from starting. You can disable it while it is still installed
[02:23] <gregb> Chewie[]: I can lsusb and see device listed, but lsusb -s -v gives error: cannot read device status, Operation not permitted (1). If I repeat with sudo lsusb -s -v, it works.
[02:23] <mgolisch> Alexandra: what does it say? works well for me
[02:23] <Zenith88> Daifan: Nvidia 185 driver is installed and in use
[02:24] <mgolisch> Alexandra: you may need to execute df as root
[02:25] <mgolisch> Alexandra: like using sudo
[02:25] <eric_2> hello?
[02:25] <Daifan> Zenith88: Did you run nvidia x server settings?
[02:25] <Zenith88> Daifan: how's X server relevant?
[02:26] <Chewie[]> gregb: does it drop a file in /dev? can you add yourself to that file's group?
[02:26] <Daifan> Zenith88: What are you trying to expand? The console windows?
[02:26] <Chewie[]> gregb: if that is of no help, i'm afraid i can not be of help.
[02:26] <Zenith88> Daifan: I want to change text console resolution
[02:27] <eric_2> I am running an XFCE environment w/ Xubuntu on a 800mhz processor w/ 512 mb ram and i was wondering if there was any way to accelerate my computer.
[02:27] <Daifan> Zenith88: Ahh, I didn't understand your question then. Sorry mate.
[02:27] <Chewie[]> eric_2: more RAM.
[02:27] <gregb> Chewie[]: Well thanks anyway. I'm confused about /dev/usb vs /proc/bus/usb (running 9.10 desktop x86 32 bit)
[02:27] <Zenith88> Daifan: not a problem
[02:28] <Chewie[]> question: i have two monitors (one large good one, one bad old one) and i have them twinview'd together with the nvidia driver. i have compiz running and when i use desktop wall or desktop cube, it switches both displays together. is there a way to disable desktops on the secondary monitor only? (i do not want it to be on a separate X server.)
[02:28] <eric_2> Chewie[] 512 is the max this motherboard on this laptop can handle
[02:28] <i_is_broke> eric_2, try using a lighter wm like lxde or so.
[02:29] <eric_2> i_is_broke what is lxde?
[02:29] <soreau> Chewie[]: It's not possible without a separate X session
[02:29] <Chewie[]> eric_2: where are you noticing the largest slowdown? you may want to try finding a better hard drive (particularly if this is a 14th-hand well-used unit)
[02:29] <Daifan> Zenith88: You can edit /boot/grub/menu.lst file to your specification if you want to change console size.
[02:30] <Chewie[]> soreau: alrighty, thanks.
[02:30] <Chewie[]> Daifan: is that "the way" with GRUB2?
[02:30] <Zenith88> Daifan: I know, that's what I tried. But the kernel throws an error for every vga option I tried, including the modes listed by vbeinfo
[02:30] <eric_2> the hard drive is about 10gb and was made in 2002. The largest slowdown is with boot up and graphics
[02:31] <eric_2> Chewie[] the hard drive is about 10gb and was made in 2002. The largest slowdown is with boot up and graphics
[02:31] <Daifan> Zenith88: Did you update grub after changing the settings?
[02:31] <eric_2> Chewie[] graphics card is on board a laptop and i cant change it.
[02:31] <Zenith88> Daifan: :) Of course, that's how I got the errors
[02:32] <Scott__> eric2
[02:32] <Scott__> if u feal u are bottle necking on data transfer try installing linux on a thumb drive flas
[02:32] <eric_2> scott2 ya
[02:32]  * ZachK_ is here and ready to assist those in need
[02:32] <Chewie[]> eric_2: hmm. you can probably disable some services but i do not know which are safe to disable.
[02:32] <Scott__> yeah flash drive is much faster the hard drive twice if not 3 times the speed
[02:32] <Scott__> but storage size is costly
[02:33] <ZachK_> Scott__: agreed
[02:33] <Scott__> 128gb is like 250 dollars australian
[02:33] <eric_2> usb 1.0 is the problem though
[02:33] <Chewie[]> Scott__: not worth sinking that into an old unit.
[02:33] <Scott__> were we can get 1tb sata for like 80 dollars
[02:33] <ZachK_> Scott__: you need the space but if you can actually manage to get it on a flash drive it's pretty fast
[02:33] <Scott__> that was my first answer in private chat to eric2 buy a new system
[02:33] <Chewie[]> eric_2: http://www.menuetos.net/
[02:34] <eric_2> scott2 I do agree w/ that but this computer only has usb 1.0 and i think that is slower than on board hdd connection
[02:34] <Scott__> just because smaller version of programs look like they boot faster doenst mean they are faster
[02:34] <brrant> oh ubuntu guru's, I'm new to ubuntu but not linux, can someone tell me how to disable (not remove) x upon startup? I have a laptop with only 256mb ram and console is all I need 99% of the time
[02:35] <Chewie[]> eric_2: depending on your application menuetos or another tiny OS may work. and you are almost certainly correct that USB 1.0 will be slower.
[02:35] <Scott__> it just means your system can handle it easyer
[02:35] <evon> can anyone help me setup my ati radeon xpress 200m video card in jaunty please

[02:38] <dsnyders> Hi all!  I want to run vista on a virtual machine in linux.  What's the best way?
[02:38] <evon> Frijolie: tried the open source drivers, and deleting the xorg.conf file then rebooting
[02:38] <zomGreg_> virtualbox
[02:38] <Izinucs> dsnyders: use virtualbox
[02:38] <evon> Frijolie: the latter option worked somewhat but the performance was crap
[02:38] <Frijolie> evon, huh?
[02:39] <Zelest> I'll ask here as well then, How can I delete/remove a guest that's been created using virt-install? .. I've tried virsh -c qemu:///system destroy <guest> .. but all it does is shutting it down more aggressively, it doesn't remove the actual guest system.
[02:39] <evon> Frijolie: i did this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1308964
[02:39] <rubin110> Hi, there there a way to do a net install of Ubuntu with a USB thumb drive?
[02:39] <dsnyders> Izinucs, zomGreg_ , virtualbox... thanks for the pointers
[02:39] <evon> Frijolie: and this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver
[02:39] <crypt-0> Frijolie, what version of Ubuntu are you running? Frijolie for 9.10 : sudo restart udev for under 9.10 sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart
[02:40] <Izinucs> dsnyders: there's a version in the repos but it doesn't support usb.. and it's older.. use the one off their site.
[02:40] <Chewie[]> night gents.
[02:40] <crypt-0> Frijolie, IIRC sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart will work on all stable versions of Ubuntu
[02:40] <ZachK_> rubin110: yes
[02:40] <Zelest> Ah, nvm, solved it.. use "undefine" instead of "destroy" ;)
[02:40] <crypt-0> Frijolie, IIRC sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart will work on all stable versions of Ubuntu
[02:41] <dsnyders> Izinucs, thanks.
[02:41] <brrant> _myelin_ thank you :)
[02:41] <ZachK_> rubin110: you want to install Ubuntu onto a system via a usb drive?

[02:41] <Blue1> ls
[02:41] <ZachK_> rubin110: are you currently using a windows system?
[02:41] <rubin110> ZachK_: I want to boot up a machine with a USB thumb drive, have it format the drive, then grab what packages it needs from the repo.
[02:42] <rubin110> ZachK_: The drive is empty.
[02:42] <ZachK_> rubin110: so you want to put the necessary Ubuntu files onto the drive so you can then boot from it?
[02:42] <evon> Frijolie: any thoughts?
[02:43] <rubin110> Yes, but I don't feel like downloading the whole install iso.
[02:43] <LGN> I'm new, and I will try to help peeps any way i can
[02:43] <ZachK_> rubin110: downloading the ISO is the safest way to ensure the proper setup
[02:43] <ZachK_> rubin110: trust me
[02:43] <LGN> use bit torrent to DL the iso
[02:44] <rubin110> ZachK_: That's great, is there a way to do a net install with ubuntu?
[02:44] <rubin110> If not then I'm just going to this under Debian.
[02:44] <LGN> via ubuntu or via windows?
[02:44] <ZachK_> rubin110: net install? elaborate please

[03:05] <dfeuer> I would prefer /not/ to preserve edits, because the reasons for some/most/all of those edits have gone away with distribution changes,

[03:11] <Scott__> even if u ran an email server u dont run avg
[03:11] <n8tuser> dfeuer-> its problematic, people complain of things not working correctly after a dist upgrade, but a fresh install is much easier
[03:11] <shashike> i am not , but i came from windows u know
[03:11] <lstarnes> shashike: there are no major viruses that affect linux
[03:11] <jtaji> dfeuer: I don't find upgrades problematic at all, sure there are always regressions
[03:11] <turkeyshoot> if i have a partition with ubuntu on it, and i just want to boot into it once more, can i use a ubuntu live cd to do that?
[03:12] <jtaji> and if you hang in here you will see fails from every upgrade, but mostly it works
[03:12] <shashike> well i know windows viruses dont work on ubuntu
[03:12] <lstarnes> shashike: there are rootkits, but those are rarer than viruses are on windows and much easier to detect and stop.  There are tools such as chkrootkit and rkhunter for detecting rootkits
[03:12] <iceroot> shashike: there are no viruses so dont need a scanner. just need a scanner if using mail-server for windows-client
[03:12] <jtaji> shashike: then you are wasting your time with a windows virus scanner in linux
[03:12] <dfeuer> You will see fails from every upgrade?  You mean the standard dependency failures?
[03:12] <Voss> shash, that would be pretty amazing if one did ;-)
[03:12] <ZenGuy3111> is there a gui like program to edit the hosts file ...i edited mine on windows using hostsman(i came with several hosts files and updates)
[03:13] <Scott__> exactly linux scans windows for virus
[03:13] <shashike> but i have windows 7 and mac OSX on my mac
[03:13] <jtaji> dfeuer: no I mean when you look at the thousands of people that come through here, there will be a few with problems
[03:13] <iceroot> shashike: for linux you dont need a scanner
[03:13] <DaZ> there aren't any anyway
[03:13] <DaZ> <:
[03:13] <shashike> is 64bit ubuntu better than 32bit??
[03:14] <lstarnes> shashike: it's about equal
[03:14] <DaZ> shashike: yes and no
[03:14] <iceroot> shashike: if you are using 4gb ram and more, yes
[03:14] <whileimhere> hi. I recently removed a bunch of apps that as it turns out I never ever use. Do I need to do a manual purge of the hidden folders or is there some way that synaptic or aptitude can do this as well?
[03:14] <Scott__> u run windows 64 bit is 4 64bit cpus and larger ram capacity
[03:14] <shashike> i have 4gigs of ram
[03:14] <Scott__> then u need to run 64bit
[03:14] <dfeuer> whileimhere, what is a hidden folder?
[03:14] <iceroot> shashike: then use 64bit version
[03:14] <shashike> what about compatibility>>
[03:14] <DaZ> dfeuer: ~/.something
[03:14] <iceroot> shashike: called amd64, even if using intel
[03:14] <dfeuer> Oh, those aren't hidden...
[03:15] <whileimhere> dfeuer any folder that has a . in front of it I guess.
[03:15] <DaZ> yes they are [;
[03:15] <Scott__> shashike u sound like a real noob
[03:15] <dfeuer> And yes, whileimhere, I think you probably do have to scrap them manually if you want to.
[03:15] <iceroot> !noob | Scott__
[03:15] <shashike> i am actually!!!
[03:15] <kazagistar> shashike: if you only install and run software from the repositories, you are cryptographically assured that you are only executing code that Canonical has looked over and verified, and worms just don't work
[03:15] <DaZ> jfgi? >:
[03:15] <brianherman> Does any one have any experience setting up a wireless router using ubuntu
[03:15] <DaZ> ah
[03:15] <jtaji> whileimhere: you could, it won't hurt to leave them either
[03:15] <shashike> i am new to ubuntu, well not exactly, i have been using it for the last 2 months
[03:15] <lstarnes> brianherman: it depends on the router
[03:16] <iceroot> shashike: normally there are no different with 64bit and 32bit, expecting flash
[03:16] <dfeuer> I could be wrong, whileimhere, but for an admin to delete users' config files would be rather irresponsible, and such behavior is /presumably/ not specially supported by synaptic.
[03:16] <brianherman> lstarns:nver mind should of asked google first
[03:16] <jtaji> dfeuer: that's definitely correct
[03:16] <Scott__> im new to ubuntu also and ive mbeen using it for over 12 years
[03:17] <iceroot> Scott__: ubuntu is ~4 years old
[03:17] <dsnyders> Izinucs, There is a windows host for virtualbox as well as a linux box.  Can I run the same virtual machine file in either?
[03:17] <Typh> hmmm, how can I launch ubuntu software centre from terminal?
[03:17] <kazagistar> shashike: the only time there are compatibility challenges with 64bit are flash and a very few rare programs... that said, performance gains are not that great for 64bit, overall
[03:17] <DaZ> iceroot: i think he meant linux :f
[03:17] <Scott__> brianherman has some brains use google instead
[03:17] <shashike> is 32bit more stable than 64bit??
[03:17] <Typh> Actually, scratch that. How can I INSTALL ubuntu software center
[03:17] <iceroot> DaZ: maybe :)
[03:17] <iceroot> shashike: both are stable
[03:17] <DaZ> or at least it's the only way it makes any sense
[03:17] <jtaji> Typh: software-center &
[03:17] <iceroot> shashike: no differences
[03:17] <shashike> pls pardon me if i am asking stupid questions, coz i am new to ubuntu
[03:18] <iceroot> shashike: no worry about that
[03:18] <jtaji> Typh: run it from the terminal, and it will tell you how to install it if it's not already
[03:18] <iceroot> shashike: for that there is this support-channel
[03:18] <Roasted> what's a good video editor for *buntu?
[03:18] <Typh> jtaji: Yeah answered my own question on that one and confirmed jolicloud doesn't seem to have it
[03:18] <Scott__> shashike unless u are running like the latest specs system why even ask as if u have 4 gb ram anywys
[03:18] <kazagistar> Roasted: define good
[03:18] <Typh> jtaji: I'm just getting command not found
[03:18] <Roasted> kazagistar - something that doestn suck.
[03:19] <zomGreg_> lol
[03:19] <iceroot> Typh: if you are on cli, you dont want to use ubuntu software center, you want to use apt-get
[03:19] <jtaji> Typh: I guess you don't have command-not-found installed, the package is also named software-center
[03:19] <Roasted> Im on kdenlive now, but it wont fade out my pictures despite me having the setting set for fade out. Okay. Fail. Now I need a new program that does the job.
[03:19] <Typh> jtaji: Yeah, no package either.
[03:19] <llua> anyone know of a google gadget that cycles thru MY pictures and not some random site
[03:20] <Typh> iceroot: that's what I'm using, but what's the reason for not being able to use USC?
[03:20] <Younder> Roasted, can't you just fix the program?
[03:20] <Guest87910> why guest?
[03:20] <iceroot> Typh: guis are slow, useless and not cool
[03:20] <Scott__> shashike do a sudo cat /proc/meminfo in terminal and let us now the outcome
[03:20] <Roasted> younder - it'd help if I knew how to make it fade out my pictures?? But I dont. So - no. I can't.
[03:20] <iceroot> Typh: apt-get is so much faster then clicking with the mouse
[03:20] <Roasted> video editor application, anybody? Any good ones?
[03:20] <dfeuer> Should I exit major apps before doing a dist upgrade?
[03:21] <DaZ> Roasted: it's linux
[03:21] <EastDallas> typh 'sudo apt-get install software-center'
[03:21] <dsnyders> Typh, It's also easier to explain on a chat.
[03:21] <kazagistar> iceroot: dunno, they are useful for quickly making choices in unfamiliar situations, and can look and function rather cool
[03:21] <Roasted> daz - yes. thank you for that. But Im already on linux. Im looking for a video editing program.
[03:21] <iceroot> kazagistar: maybe but not always
[03:21] <DaZ> Roasted: it's like looking for penguins in africa
[03:21] <Younder> Roasted, well you have a alpha channed and Cairo can set the opaquety. Start with a solic fill and full transparency and pradually set it to full opaquity.
[03:21] <DaZ> i wish you luck tho [;
[03:22] <Younder> gradually
[03:22] <Roasted> daz - I always hear great things about the video and audio editors in linux. So far, the audio side is true. Now Im playing with the video side.
[03:22] <kazagistar> iceroot: for example, apt-get is a lot slower if you have never used it before, or just want to browse some category of software for things you might like
[03:22] <dsnyders> Roasted, have you tried cinelerra?
[03:22] <shashike> does ubuntu slow down over time??
[03:22] <Roasted> dsnyders - I have not. Is it in the repos?
[03:22] <LizardK|ng> apt-get is never slower
[03:22] <DaZ> shashike: no
[03:22] <Roasted> shashike - not in my experience.
[03:22] <dsnyders> Roasted, not sure.  I think it is.
[03:22] <Roasted> shashike - *buntu user (Kubuntu and Ubuntu both) of 5 years here.
[03:23] <DaZ> shashike: windows gets slower because of the registry and we don't have it.
[03:23] <uvacav> join #zsnes
[03:23] <uvacav> sah, sry
[03:23] <LizardK|ng> no, but we have gconf
[03:23] <iceroot> kazagistar: no
[03:23] <DaZ> LizardK|ng: i don't.
[03:23] <iceroot> kazagistar: apt-get is not slower then gui
[03:23] <shashike> its like this, once i left my macbook on the whole night and the next day it was lagging like hell, but after a reboot it was fine, is that normal?
[03:23] <kcj1993> Quick question: Can I use remote desktop while the other machine I want to connect to is in use?
[03:23] <dfeuer> shashike, it depends on how well you load down your RAM.  I tend to let Firefox balloon to 60-160 open tabs, including Flash video, so if I let that go long enough, things can get bad enough after a couple months that I need a reboot.
[03:23] <lstarnes> kazagistar: in fact, it might be faster
[03:24] <LizardK|ng> DaZ, ok, gnome has gconf
[03:24] <iceroot> kazagistar: both must use something like update but the gui is doing that at the background you dont see it
[03:24] <zomGreg_> 60-160 open tabs?
[03:24] <DaZ> shashike: it's not
[03:24] <dfeuer> zomGreg_, yes.
[03:24] <holmser> anyone here used an x10 controller on ubuntu before?
[03:24] <dfeuer> I am very cluttered.
[03:24] <LizardK|ng> dfeuer, restarting firefox doesn;t work?
[03:24] <zomGreg_> jeebus that's a lot of tabs
[03:24] <shashike> omfg
[03:24] <kcj1993> hello?
[03:24] <dfeuer> LizardK|ng, usually it does, but I think the last time it must've fragmented my swap too badly, or /something/.  Dunno.
[03:25] <gimpy5301> How can you stand that many open tabs?  I need multiple browsers
[03:25] <Younder> a full disk will lead to performance degradation
[03:25] <lstarnes> kcj1993: we see your question.  Please ba patient while somebody tries to dsicover an answer
[03:25] <dsnyders> kcj1993, It depends on the connection.  if you're piping X through ssh, yes.  If you're using VNC to duplicate the desktop remotely, no.
[03:25] <lstarnes> *discover
[03:25] <Younder> why not just get a bigger disk?
[03:25] <kcj1993> thx
[03:26] <Ali_nz> My Ubuntu system would not boot because of no free disk space, so I booted a live CD and deleted one file of no great importance. Now I get a black screen and flashing cursor after the ubuntu logo - help please!
[03:26] <dfeuer> My Firefox is currently using a mere 439 MiB of RAM.
[03:26] <zomGreg_> Ali: what was the file "of no importance"?
[03:26] <dfeuer> But it can easily exceed a gigabyte.
[03:26] <Scott__> shashike it is amazing what pron will do if u leave it on over night
[03:26] <Ali_nz> zomGreg_: a backup of a old hard disk
[03:26] <Scott__> porn
[03:26] <AyCarumba> I need help with wine, I'm trying to run mirc.exe but I get a error that is oblivious to the purpose of the .exe file. http://pastebin.com/m48c191d1
[03:26] <Ali_nz> zomGreg_: a *.bin file
[03:27] <Ali_nz> zomGreg_: it was like 200Gb and taking up some considerable room
[03:27] <DaZ> 200gb bin file? :o
[03:27] <Ali_nz> or .raw? it was a ddrescue file
[03:27] <Scott__> try wine installations under windows 98 setting
[03:28] <Ali_nz> but haveing just typed that it finally sprung into life....maybe it was re indexing the FS or soemthing?
[03:28] <kcj1993> dsnyders: I get this error message when trying to connect to the other machine "Avahi resolver failure: Timeout reached" what does that mean?
[03:28] <dfeuer> Ali_nz, it's quite possible that you hosed something by letting the disk fill.
[03:29] <gimpy5301> Would anyone know why one of my machines can't use key based auth when SSHing to itself, but key based auth to other machines works fine?
[03:29] <dsnyders> kcj1993, No idea.  Can you ping the other machine?
[03:29] <kazagistar> AyCarumba: try "Open with..." and then select Wine manually
[03:29] <Scott__> AyCarumba use windows 98 settings in wine config
[03:29] <Scott__> are u using wine tricks
[03:29] <Scott__> wine doors
[03:29] <dfeuer> The first time I had root on a Unix box I managed to lose the /password/ file by filling the disk and editing /etc/passwd improperly.
[03:29] <jtaji> gimpy5301: is your public key in that same machine's authorized_keys file?
[03:30] <jtaji> gimpy5301: because that's typically not done
[03:30] <kcj1993> dsnyders: yes i can
[03:30] <gimpy5301> jtaji: Yes, authorized_keys is correct on the machine for the user
[03:30] <dsnyders> kcj1993, It could mean that the server process is not running on the remote machine.
[03:31] <gimpy5301> tjaji: and permissions are correct on .ssh and that file
[03:31] <Scott__> where is the serious chat room with serious people that can seriously help
[03:31] <kazagistar> Scott__: mailing lists?
[03:32] <lstarnes> Scott__: this is it
[03:32] <Scott__> are u being serious
[03:32] <Scott__> i get more help in linuxcranks then here
[03:32] <lstarnes> Scott__: yes
[03:32] <kcj1993> dsnyders: I tried to connect once but it failed and now i just get that error if i try to.
[03:32] <dsnyders> Scott__, He's joking.  All the serious folk are in #fedora.
[03:32] <DaZ> Scott__: usenet.
[03:32] <Scott__> do u find u get or give help
[03:33] <Scott__> and when u give help do they saqy your wrong or thats not relevant
[03:33] <DaZ> irc is still to young [;
[03:33] <ctmjr> Scott__: we are sorry that we do not meet your 12 years of ubuntu experience
[03:33] <lstarnes> Scott__: that's not usually the case
[03:33] <dsnyders> Scott__, What problem are you having.
[03:34] <Vbitz> why is the install slideshow always finishing before 50%
[03:34] <Some_Person> I've got sound issues. VLC recording my audio input is very choppy. Several games (supertux, supertuxkart, etc) have sound that goes into buzzing
[03:34] <mezquitale> Some_Person, sounds like you have pulse audio issues
[03:34] <dsnyders> kcj1993, I'm unable to help.  I've only done remote stuff once, using VNC. and I followed a howto to do it.  That was over a year ago.
[03:35] <kcj1993> ok thanks
[03:35] <Some_Person> mezquitale: So what can I do about it? PulseAudio is too tightly integrated in Karmic to get rid of it (I'd have no panel control)
[03:35] <mezquitale> Some_Person, is your machine fast? what cpu do you have?
[03:36] <Some_Person> mezquitale: Core 2 Duo, 2.0 GHz
[03:36] <evon> can anyone help me access the files on my other ubuntu computer through my network?
[03:36] <KB1JWQ> evon: Sure, over what protocol?
[03:36] <DaZ> Some_Person: alsamixer is sufficient [;
[03:36] <thomasdeaton> ..
[03:36] <mezquitale> evon, install openssh server in the machine that has the files
[03:36] <jarray52> Anyone here have experience setting up ejabberd?
[03:36] <lovestik> wooo
[03:37] <Ali_nz> when the output of du --max-depth\=1 -h says I have "273G     ." what dir is "." ?
[03:37] <Some_Person> DaZ: I like using multimedia keys
[03:37] <evon> KB1JWQ: i don't even know what you're talking about?
[03:37] <lstarnes> Ali_nz: the current directory
[03:37] <gimpy5301> ali_nz: The current dir
[03:37] <jtaji> evon: I'd just install openssh-server on both machines so I can go both ways
[03:37] <kazagistar> Vbitz: because if it finished after the install was done, there would be wasted slides
[03:37] <Ali_nz> lstarnes: ta
[03:37] <plattypus1> KB1JWQ: 73 de AE6YD :)
[03:37] <mezquitale> Some_Person, your machine is fast enough, try the forums if no one is able to help you here, I personally uninstalled pulse audio in my laptop and sound now works fine
[03:37] <DaZ> Ali_nz: local
[03:38] <Some_Person> mezquitale: Do you have a volume control in your panel and do your volume keyboard keys work?
[03:38] <aviarorman78> i installed ubuntu 9.10 and cant get my dvd rom to work HELP.
[03:38] <DaZ> Some_Person: i don't think it's hard to have them working without pulseaudio
[03:38] <rj1> Hi guys, I place a DVD in the disk drive and it spins up but I dont see the image mounted
[03:38] <Scott__> my multi media keys work
[03:38] <rj1> any thoughts?
[03:38] <jtaji> evon: once you install that, you can either use scp or sftp on the command line, or go to Places > Connect to Server.. and pick SSH to use the file manager
[03:38] <mezquitale> Some_Person, i had to do a litte tweaking to get it working, the volume keys on my laptop dont work, I installed gnome-alsamiser
[03:39] <Vbitz> no i meen that it needs to be based on current progress
[03:39] <soopos> What is SELinux -mode in Ubuntu?
[03:39] <kazagistar> aviarorman78: what exactly does not work?
[03:39] <DaZ> soopos: it's NSA mode <:
[03:40] <aviarorman78> i tried to play a movie its a no go
[03:40] <soopos> DaZ: strace -ff shows me that my programs point to a SELinux filesystem in my ubuntu, which however does not exist
[03:40] <evon> jtaji: i installed it and i went to places > conntect to server and chose ssh but there's a whole bunch of other boxes that i don't know what to put in
[03:40] <bastid_raZor> aviarorman78: normally installing ubuntu-restricted-extras will do the trick.
[03:40] <kazagistar> aviarorman78: does it show the disk? can you see it as a folder?
[03:41] <bgoldsmith>  newbie question regarding grub2 on karmic server RAID 1 array: if /dev/sdb fails, the system boots with the array in degraded mode. Even if grub-install is used to install grub to /dev/sdb, in case of /dev/sda failure, grub cannot bring up the array as it cant seem to find the root, so ... I found what I need to do on http://riseuplabs.org/grimoire/storage/software-raid/ ... however that is for legacy grub.
[03:41] <bigdavjoker> need help making windows partition copied from old hard drive bootable  don't have a Vista install disc handy
[03:41] <jtaji> evon: all you need is Server: which is the IP address or name of the other computer, and User Name: which is the user name on the other computer
[03:41] <aviarorman78> ok give me a moment .
[03:41] <soopos> DaZ: This makes some of my terminal applicatios work wrongly such as SageMath
[03:41] <bgoldsmith>  could someone please point me to the correct steps to follow for installing grub2 to /dev/sdb so that even if /dev/sda fails, the system still boots up
[03:42] <mezquitale> bigdavjoker, that's not ubuntu issue
[03:42] <DaZ> soopos: i don't use selinux unfortunately [;
[03:42] <bgoldsmith> (google doesn't help much, neither does #grub or #RAID on this server right now)
[03:42] <joe__> hello everyone
[03:42] <RenatoSilva> How to convert windows lines to linux? (\r\n -> \n)?
[03:43] <soopos> DaZ: I neiher. I do not know why my Ubuntu 9.10 is on that mode
[03:43] <jtaji> aviarorman78: you probably want libdvdcss2 from the medibuntu repository, which isn't included in ubuntu-restricted-extras
[03:43] <bgoldsmith> RenatoSilva: use dos2unix
[03:43] <gimpy5301> renato: dos2unix
[03:43] <jtaji> !medibuntu | aviarorman78
[03:43] <evon> jtaji: thanks i got it now. do i really have to do this just to access the files? I can't just double click on an icon or something?
[03:43] <RenatoSilva> bgoldsmith: have to install?
[03:43] <bgoldsmith> yes
[03:44] <jtaji> evon: well when you go to Connect to Server, click Add bookmark, then an icon will always be in Places
[03:44] <bgoldsmith> just type dos2unix and you'll get the command for installing
[03:44] <aviarorman78> yes it shows the disk. kazagistar
[03:44] <bigdavjoker> mezquitale, I'm running dual boot with ubuntu as my primary OS  was hoping there might be a linux tool to help fix the problem was able to copy partitions using gparted but now only the ubuntu partition will boot windows will not
[03:44] <jtaji> evon: and you won't have to type the info again
[03:44] <plattypus1> Okay... so I've looked over fora, bug lists, and the google, and none of them have helped. I've got a fresh install of Karmic which hangs on boot (same on LiveCD- install via alt. CD worked fine), always at the "Starting AppArmor profiles" step.
[03:44] <RenatoSilva> bgoldsmith: will install just for that then remove :P thanks
[03:45] <bgoldsmith> anyone here with RAID 1 + grub 2 experience on karmic server ?
[03:45] <aviarorman78> ubuntu restricted extras didnt help.
[03:45] <evon> jtaji: ok done. thanks a lot. much appreciated
[03:45] <bgoldsmith> RenatoSilva: np
[03:45] <kazagistar> aviarorman78: try getting Medibuntu working then
[03:45] <jtaji> bgoldsmith: you might also try in #ubuntu-server
[03:45] <bgoldsmith> okay thanks jtaji :)
[03:46] <mezquitale> bigdavjoker, that is a funky way of doing things, it can be done but it will require to reinstall grub
[03:47] <bastid_raZor> aviarorman78: do as jtaji suggested. follow the link for medibuntu.
[03:47] <hamachi> I just installed 8.04 LTS, good version to stick with?
[03:48] <Leftmost> I created an Ubuntu Netbook Remix USB stick with the USB Startup Creator. I'm trying to install it on an EeePC, but it won't boot. "Removable Dev." is selected as the first boot device in the BIOS. Any ideas?
[03:48] <KB1JWQ> Leftmost: What happens when you try it?
[03:48] <Some_Person> I want to find whoever chose to tightly integrate PulseAudio in karmic and kick them in the @$$
[03:48] <KB1JWQ> YOu may not have rendered it bootable.
[03:48] <bastid_raZor> hamachi: for stability yes.
[03:48] <hamachi> bastid: excellent
[03:49] <Leftmost> KB1JWQ, it just boots into Xandros. Doing a cfdisk on the stick shows the boot flag is enabled.
[03:49] <bigdavjoker> mezquitale,   yes I've got grub reinstalled and it sees the windows partition but when I try and boot into it all I get is a blinking cursor
[03:49] <kazagistar> hamachi: if you want something to stick with, you could wait until 10.4LTS comes out, then upgrade to that... that will be supported until 2015
[03:49] <plattypus1> So... anyone know anything about the Karmic boot process hanging because of AppArmor?
[03:49] <Leftmost> Oh, and it doesn't show up in the boot devices menu when I hit Esc at the Eee BIOS.
[03:50] <Leftmost> Err, during POST.
[03:50] <hamachi> kazagistar: yes that's what I was planning on doing
[03:50] <mezquitale> bigdavjoker, so you mean you copied the windows installation to your hard drive and never tested windows alone to see if it could boot?
[03:50] <aviarorman78> ok i will follow the metibuntu link.
[03:50] <bastid_raZor> kazagistar: once Lucid comes out he'll be able to upgrade directly to it from 8.04.. LTS to LTS and skip all the versions in between.
[03:51] <hamachi> bastid: thats perfect.. I got a question, I havent set up my wireless yet on this... where can I get a list of the networks it sees?
[03:52] <Leftmost> hamachi, GUI or commandline?
[03:52] <bigdavjoker> mezquitale,  laptop with HD going bad installed new HD used Gparted to copy partions from old HD in an external enclousre to new HD in laptop   used liveCD to install grub
[03:52] <hamachi> leftmost: GUI
[03:52] <cactusfrog> hi i running ubuntu off  windows HD with wubi  am having some trouble.  i want to copy some files from one windows hd ( the one i am running ubuntu off)  to another windows hd but it keeps giving me this error "Error creating directory: Operation not supported". I guess it has to do with the difrent file systems but is there way i can get around it?
[03:53] <Leftmost> hamachi, NetworkManager should be one of the icons in the upper-right. Perhaps click a couple of them, see if they bring up a list of networks.
[03:53] <kazagistar> cactusfrog: perhaps it is mounted read-only?
[03:53] <cactusfrog> ok then how do i make it so its not read only?
[03:54] <hamachi> leftmost: there's a network icon, but it doesnt give me a list of networks, and my wireless device is active
[03:54] <cactusfrog> how could i find out if its mounted read only?
[03:54] <Leftmost> Does it just say there are no networks in range or something of the sort?
[03:54] <hamachi> leftmost: nothing
[03:54] <Xyie> updated xulrunner-1.9 today and now firefox refuses to open, saying "Error launching browser window:no XBL binding for browser" is anyone else experincing this problem? (and how can i revert to the last one?)
[03:55] <cactusfrog> kazagistar: how can i tell if its not read only and if it is how can i change it so that its not?
[03:55] <Leftmost> hamachi, are you certain the drivers for the card are installed?
[03:55] <mezquitale> bigdavjoker, if the old hard drive was failing I recommend to just reinstall a fresh copy of windows, I dont know if copying with gparted would work, copying the partition with ghost or partition magic would do it but you would need to know what youre doing, in either case, copying partitions from a hard drive going bad can lead to corrupt data, i would not do it
[03:55] <sahilsk> wiki wiki,
[03:55] <hamachi> leftmost: well the OS knows I have a wireless card, so I'm assuming yes.. Is there a way to check?
[03:55] <aviarorman78> is there an other way to get this done. im a linux noob that metibuntu tutorial is no help to me.
[03:56] <Leftmost> hamachi, where does it say it knows you have a card ? (That may be all the answer necessary.)
[03:57] <cactusfrog> how do i talk to a cetrain person like do i press tab or what (i am using pidgen)
[03:57] <jtaji> aviarorman78: all you got to do is run that long command, right under "Adding the Repository", in a terminal
[03:57] <lstarnes> cactusfrog: type their nick manually
[03:57] <mezquitale> cactusfrog, use "!tab"
[03:57] <hamachi> leftmost: when I click on the network icon and go to manual configuation, it shows all my devices: lan, wireless and 56k, and under wireless it says "roaming mode enabled"
[03:57] <lstarnes> cactusfrog: or type the first couple letters then press the tab key
[03:57] <Leftmost> Ahh. Hmm.
[03:57] <digitalaxis> lstarnes, im not sure that works on pidgin
[03:57] <lstarnes> digitalaxis: it should
[03:58] <jtaji> aviarorman78: best way to do that is to select it in your web browser, then middle-click in the terminal to paste it
[03:58] <cactusfrog> ok thats what i thought doesn't work with pidgen i'll install xchat
[03:58] <cactusfrog> hi i running ubuntu off  windows HD with wubi  am having some trouble.  i want to copy some files from one windows hd ( the one i am running ubuntu off)  to another windows hd but it keeps giving me this error "Error creating directory: Operation not supported". I guess it has to do with the difrent file systems but is there way i can get around it?
[03:58] <digitalaxis> cactusfrog, Xchat is sexxy
[03:59] <hamachi> leftmost: I mean its not a big deal, cause I use my laptop on my desk, but I'd like to get this working if its not too much trouble
[03:59] <Leftmost> hamachi, do you know what kind of card it is?
[03:59] <hamachi> leftmost: ahh not quite sure on the number: Maybe Dell Wireless 1350
[04:00] <hamachi> leftmost: I have an Inspiron 9100
[04:00] <iOmlette> I got one of those too.
[04:00] <iOmlette> It is a Dell Wireless 1350.
[04:00] <hamachi> ya thought so
[04:00] <Leftmost> iOmlette, any issues getting wireless running?
[04:01] <iOmlette> Leftmost: Yeah, a few. :P
[04:01] <hamachi> =[
[04:01] <pilif12p> :D Firefox is #1 browser, for you whom care
[04:01] <iOmlette> But finally, I used the bcm-fwcutter packages, which solved it.

[04:12] <rukubites> What is the name of the command line utility were you write eg. "foo filename.txt txt" and it will return just the name-part "filename"
[04:12] <nalsa> the last driver I loaded was RT2870USB(RT2870/RT2770) version 2.3.0

[04:13] <nalsa> ndiswrapper *shuddder*
[04:13] <jtaji> hasibullah: you use Terminal Server Client in ubuntu, and you need to enable remote desktop sharing in windows, which you won't have if you have a Home version of windows
[04:13] <n8tuser> you want it working?
[04:13] <iOmlette> nalsa: If you have a Broadcom card, I might be able to help.
[04:13] <nalsa> was trying to avoid that..
[04:14] <rukubites> mezquitale: I found it, it is called 'basename'
[04:14] <nalsa> its RA link
[04:14] <strange> ra link works without ndiswrapper
[04:14] <jtaji> hasibullah: in which case you would need to install tightvnc server in windows, and use Remote Desktop Client in ubuntu
[04:14] <strange> at least my pci card does
[04:14] <nalsa> yeah i heard ra link was good
[04:14] <jtaji> hasibullah: err, Remote Desktop Viewer
