[14:53] <thune3> veer_: you haven't answered the question of whether this is while using flash videos, or some other video player
[14:53] <bcuraboy> laptop
[14:53] <tomekmnow> AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRWWWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAA
[14:53] <indus> jmestrada, what is the hardware you have
[14:53] <indus> !pl
[14:53] <DSpair> Anyone else having issues with Flash on 64 bit Ubuntu?
[14:53] <indus> DSpair, we all do
[14:53] <bcuraboy> it beside has 4gb ddr3,500gb hd
[14:53] <Pici> !pl | tomekmnow
[14:54] <jmestrada> 64-bit Intel Pentium 2.60 Ghz, 2 GB RAM DDR2, 320 SATA HD

[14:54] <taconcheese> sum1 plz, i want my ventrilo to talk to my girlfriend but it wont install exe on ubuntu!! :(
[14:54] <gbillings> I downloaded the gnuarm linux 86_64 binaries from gnuarm.com; how do i install these binaries?
[14:54] <veer_> sorry video player
[14:54] <Kingsy101> what does this wine error mean ---> http://pastebin.com/4pChXLbh
[14:54] <UltraParadigm> Anyone know how I can hear sound through JACK?  When I start the Audio Connection Kit, all my sound stops.  What do I have to do next?
[14:54] <Pici> taconcheese: .exes are Windows executables and would require Wine to install.
[14:54] <Pici> !wine | taconcheese
[14:54] <taconcheese> Pici: but i don't like wine. Im mormon
[14:54] <Kingsy101> means*
[14:54] <acovrig> thanks, export wored
[14:54] <Andrew9> system won't load. any help please? http://www.evernote.com/pub/9ands/public
[14:54] <acovrig> worked
[14:55] <XFGolden> bcuraboy: That may make things difficult. if you don't have a specific video chipset that has i/o on the chipset (some do but many don't), the hdmi port may only be for output.
[14:55] <indus> Kingsy101, who says its an error
[14:55] <pgpkeys> My second question is, gdm resets my video by restarting the X server completely which makes my video work correctly when the laptop comes back from any type of suspend (disk/ram). kdm does NOT duplicate this behaviour, nor does it seem to honor the pm settings. How can I make kdm reset the X server like gdm does?
[14:55] <gbillings> acovrig: great
[14:55] <stupidxpgames> ok...how would chmod help me install stuff from my desktop.. namely .sh file for vendetta
[14:55] <indus> Andrew9, hi
[14:55] <indus> Andrew9, so i have been wondering
[14:55] <Andrew9> indus: hey
[14:55] <Kingsy101> indus - well it didnt install so something must be wrong
[14:55] <bcuraboy> that's what i think too
[14:55] <Andrew9> indus: hdd is fine
[14:55] <deadmaus> hi, i was trying to update ubuntu using apt-get upgrade - and got this - http://pastebin.com/QvRgPqnh - the same package shows as being retrieved multiple times. i dont think it retrieves it multiple times, but how do i change it from printing the get for the saem package multiple times?
[14:55] <indus> Andrew9, so grub is pointing to a wrong partition then
[14:55] <bcuraboy> but i thought it could in somehow,someway we can invert that..
[14:55] <indus> Andrew9, sorry but i have to go now
[14:55] <shoopdawoop> taconcheese: you could try mangler instead http://www.mangler.org/
[14:56] <stupidxpgames> bye indus xD ttyl
[14:56] <bcuraboy> with some program or command
[14:56] <indus> Andrew9, recovery mode aint working hmm ?
[14:56] <Andrew9> indus: maybe ext4 is corrupted
[14:56] <veer_> anyone know a way to stop slowmotion like behavior in ubuntu 10.04 when watching fullscreen videos???
[14:56] <wizzo> deadmaus: are you the actual deadmaus?
[14:56] <Andrew9> indus: no
[14:56] <indus> Andrew9, well, if it drops you to a shell, you can do a fsck
[14:56] <stupidxpgames> veer, decrease resolution
[14:56] <deadmaus> wizzo: nah, he's prolly making music on macs
[14:56] <Kingsy101> indus - any idea what I should do?
[14:56] <gbillings> deadmaus: i see no errror
[14:56] <wizzo> deadmaus: I use a mac, am I deadmaus?
[14:56] <stupidxpgames> veer, turn off anti-anilising..
[14:56] <indus> Kingsy101, well, #winehq is best option
[14:56] <caffeinegum> UltraParadigm, Jack stops pulseaudio... your software has to be jack enabled... try installing pulseaudio-module-jack ?\
[14:56] <Kingsy101> ok
[14:56] <wizzo> say yes!
[14:56] <jmestrada> fuck me if I buy a new PC and I have to install Win!! lol
[14:57] <veer_> anti is off
[14:57] <XFGolden> bcuraboy: That was a feature of some higher end desktop video cards a few years ago but I've never heard of it on a laptop .. You should consult with the manual or call acer tech support for the answer to that one .. ask them if your hdmi port is input/output or if it is strictly output..
[14:57] <Pici> jmestrada: Please mind your language here, this is a family friendly channel.
[14:57] <jmestrada> oops!! sorry pal, very sorry
[14:57] <deadmaus> gbillings: do you see the same package having been fetched more than once?
[14:57] <Zela> Hello I split my partition a month or so ago and when I restart a menu comes up asking which OS i want to use but, I wanted to know why are their so many option? One says Ubuntu generic ubuntu recovery mode then another ubuntu thing, and same for windows there is  loader 1 and 2
[14:57] <stupidxpgames> veer, is it playing over the net..can you play off the hd no issues?
[14:57] <Zela> why is that?
[14:57] <veer_> hd
[14:57] <indus> Kingsy101, wine tells so many things its difficult to understand really
[14:57] <bcuraboy> tell me something.is there any other program beside wine to execute the fk***** .exe file?
[14:57] <pgpkeys> jmestrada ~ hehe I just bought a new laptop in December. I 'cut' the drive and dual boot. only reason I keep Windows7 around at all is for some .NET programming and games. :)
[14:57] <pgpkeys> I understand your pain :)
[14:57] <stupidxpgames> hmm
[14:57] <Andrew9> indus: maybe i'll just reinstall the system..
[14:58] <Kingsy101> indus - np thanks anyways
[14:58] <indus> Andrew9, really?
[14:58] <UltraParadigm> caffeinegum: I am trying to use xmms with the JACK output plugin.  I have it configured to use the JACK plugin now, but it still goes silent
[14:58] <indus> Andrew9, nooooooooooooooooooooo
[14:58] <stupidxpgames> veer, how much ram you got and is the video hd? do you have a gfx card?
[14:58] <UltraParadigm> XMMS with the JACK output should work right?
[14:58] <veer_> its only after i installed ubuntu10.04 in 9.04 it was fine
[14:58] <Andrew9> indus: i am not sure what i'm going to do yet
[14:58] <deadmaus> gbillings: lines 13-17 are the same package being downloaded
[14:58] <LucidGuy> I have a Ubuntu box that supports 2 cpus.  I know each CPU? has its own bank of ram, but does that mean I can not use the other bank unless there is a second CPU installed?
[14:58] <gbillings> daedmaus: try running sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[14:58] <UltraParadigm> caffeinegum: XMMS with the JACK output should work right?
[14:58] <jmestrada> pg: I thought dual partitions, but I won't help if I only can use Win one lol
[14:58] <gbillings> daedmaus: then try installing the package again
[14:58] <XFGolden> bcuraboy: This isn't really something that a magic command will allow you to do .. the video chipset will need to support it .. you could install virtualbox and install you choice of windows on said virtualbox
[14:59] <Andrew9> indus: first i'm going to boot from livecd and sheck grub
[14:59] <indus> Andrew9, boot with live cd , then run a fsck
[14:59] <deadmaus> gbillings: all the packages install fine. it is just that when installing, apt-get shows multiple fetches of the same file
[14:59] <deadmaus> in stdout
[14:59] <bcuraboy> and try it with windows?
[14:59] <indus> Andrew9, so you can repair the dir
[14:59] <XFGolden> deadmaus: was deadmau5 taken?
[14:59] <stupidxpgames> veer, you may need to re-install yur gfx card..are your swaps being used?
[14:59] <indus> Andrew9, ok good luck,
[14:59] <Andrew9> indus: sure, if nothing helps i'll have to format
[14:59] <Zela> Hello I split my partition a month or so ago and when I restart a menu comes up asking which OS i want to use but, I wanted to know why are their so many option? One says Ubuntu generic ubuntu recovery mode then another ubuntu thing, and same for windows there is  loader 1 and 2 why is there so many of them and why is this?
[14:59] <gbillings> deadmaus: does it do that for ALL packages?
[14:59] <pgpkeys> veer_ ~ also, if you are using an ATI card (like my laptop has) then install the fglrx package from restricted
[14:59] <deadmaus> XFGolden: i didnt check
[14:59] <veer_> i got 3 gb ram 512mb ram on nvidia
[15:00] <stupidxpgames> sounds good
[15:00] <deadmaus> gbillings: most packages. sometimes, it is 5 reps, sometimes 3, sometimes 2, etc
[15:00] <stupidxpgames> is the restricted drivers enabled still??
[15:00] <deadmaus> but the output shows more than once
[15:00] <XFGolden> bcuraboy: You really need to confirm that it's even possible with your hardware before you keep trying to do it .. This may be a fruitless venture
[15:00] <jmestrada> I can't even run tests from the LiveCD because LiveCD just doesn't start any process or interface
[15:00] <deadmaus> gbillings: it doesnt download the package multiple times, but it skips to row next during the download.
[15:00] <veer_> on top of 512 on ram it borrows an extra 512 mb ram from pc to boost to 1gb ram
[15:00] <wizzo> taconcheese: I'm leaving, go nuts
[15:00] <Zela> Hello I split my partition a month or so ago and when I restart a menu comes up asking which OS i want to use but, I wanted to know why are their so many option? One says Ubuntu generic ubuntu recovery mode then another ubuntu thing, and same for windows there is  loader 1 and 2 why is there so many of them and why is this??
[15:01] <DrZeus> hi all.  I know this could be a way out of topic question, but can you recommend any channel here in freenode that talks about win2003server? i have some questions, but dont know where to ask
[15:01] <bcuraboy> hmmm ok.how about the other question?is there any other program beside wine to run .exe files?
[15:01] <deadmaus> they are all derivatives of wine. crossover, cedega.
[15:01] <gbillings> deadmaus: which repositories do you have instaalled
[15:01] <jmestrada> anybody here has Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit running on 320 GB HD?
[15:01] <stupidxpgames> veer, thats good...please verify that your drivers are still enabled...sometimes an update will reset those drivers
[15:01] <bcuraboy> i got with a 500gb HD
[15:01] <lapion> hello.. ubuntu should not try to start the failsafe server when the kms server fails.... because then the system will hang
[15:02] <deadmaus> gbillings: main, restriced, universe, multiverse, medibuntu
[15:02] <stupidxpgames> jmes, it sounds like your cd-rom may not be securely fastened..to power/ ide-sata ports
[15:02] <XFGolden> bcuraboy: yeah you could use virtualbox and install your choice of windows to the virtualbox .. It's not going to allow you to play real games but it will allow you to execute windows programs
[15:02] <stupidxpgames> or it may not be getting the power it needs?
[15:02] <Zela> Hello I split my partition a month or so ago and when I restart a menu comes up asking which OS i want to use but, I wanted to know why are their so many option? One says Ubuntu generic ubuntu recovery mode then another ubuntu thing, and same for windows there is  loader 1 and 2 why is there so many of them and why is this?
[15:03] <jmestrada> stupidxp: that sounds logic, i will check
[15:03] <veer_> i just did a aptitude search glx but there r to many witch one do i need ?
[15:03] <bcuraboy> hmmm i see.thank u a lot
[15:04] <stupidxpgames> if you have a gefore fx 5500+ go for the glx-new
[15:04] <gbillings> deadmaus: does it seem to download it more than one time... as in does it show the downloading percentage for every single repeat?
[15:04] <ufosky> i use the function dirname() from libgen.h always meet a segment fault under ubuntu 10.04,is there any bugs?
[15:04] <bcuraboy> gonna smoke... :D
[15:04] <deadmaus> gbillings: let me start a new download and check
[15:05] <jmestrada> stupidxp: don't think it should be problem with Serial/Power connections, otherwise WinXP installation wouldn't start when I tried just to test the machine
[15:05] <pgpkeys> zela ~ the reason for the 2 windows entries is os_proper sees the beginning partition on the drive (which is usually a boot partition for windows) and then the actual windows partition (which is not bootable as that's what the first windows one does)
[15:05] <veer_> i just did a aptitude install glx and it says i got it already
[15:05] <stupidxpgames> you should already have the drivers there, if you can't see them  or they are not enabled<system/admin/hardwaredrivers>
[15:05] <stupidxpgames> you will need to re-install anyway
[15:05] <stupidxpgames> and then enable them
[15:05] <stupidxpgames> and restart
[15:05] <deadmaus> gbillings: no. it starts with 1 - say 15%, then next line 15% - 60% etc
[15:05] <pgpkeys> the 2 ubuntu ones are 1) the actual 'normal' boot entry for ubuntu, and 2) the other is for booting in administratively in case there's like disc corruption, or your dpkg is broken or whatever
[15:06] <Zela> pgpkeys, Same for Ubuntu? They have recovery modes what are they for?
[15:06] <deadmaus> gbillings: the numbers are just illustrations. i mean the downloads continue, but there is a newline char every few secs, i guess
[15:06] <pgpkeys> zela ~ i just gave you examples. read boy read
[15:06] <veer_> what do i need from these:
[15:06] <veer_> aptitude search glx
[15:07] <nehyx> Zela: Well, in recovery mode, Ubuntu doesn't load X and another non-essential things
[15:07] <veer_> nvidia-glx-173-dev libglitz-glx1 libxcb-glx0-dbg libxcb-glx0-dev  nvidia-glx-185-dev libxcb-glx0 nvidia-glx-96-dev nvidia-glx-173  nvidia-glx-180 nvidia-glx-185 libglitz-glx-dev libgl1-mesa-glx-dbg  nvidia-glx-96 nvidia-glx-180-dev libglitz-glx1-dev libgl1-mesa-glx
[15:07] <stupidxpgames> whoa...
[15:07] <ufosky> #include <libgen.h>
[15:07] <ufosky> int main(){
[15:07] <ufosky> 	char * a=dirname("/home/ufo/test");
[15:07] <ufosky> 	return 0;
[15:07] <ufosky> }
[15:07] <FloodBot1> ufosky: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:07] <ufosky> this code will meet a segment fault,why?
[15:07] <stupidxpgames> 163-173 avoid dev...or beta...
[15:07] <Zela> nehyx, You can't merge that? so it says Ubuntu and one say Windows?
[15:07] <stupidxpgames> i'm usiong the 163 driver sets
[15:08] <xfact> ##teenlinux
[15:08] <stupidxpgames> 173 is the newst offical release
[15:08] <xfact> Oops!
[15:09] <stupidxpgames> don't go above 173 yet... the others are beta or quadro drivers... and not meant for these cards
[15:10] <jmestrada> sipior, I saw people messages on the Web about this installation problem, or at least with the same error message "Unexpected exit with status 0x0009", one of the them was related to ACPI issues on a laptop and stuff like that
[15:10] <veer_> i got 173 now but in hardware it says nvidia accelerated graphics driver (version currunt) recomended
[15:11] <thune3> Zela: you might check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StartUpManager for easy tweaking.
[15:11] <ascot279> How do i install binaries?
[15:11] <veer_> but i remember from 9.04 that with many issues u need a terminal code to turn something ether on or off
[15:11] <stupidxpgames> then the current version is the recommended version...
[15:12] <stupidxpgames> enable your restricted drivers
[15:12] <Guest68012> if I make an upgrade, should I make a back up of my info first?
[15:12] <dcarros> CheezWah
[15:12] <stupidxpgames> if it does not enable they are not installed right for some reason or they are not correct
[15:13] <stupidxpgames> it should check and then ask for you to restart
[15:13] <jmestrada> almost all new Intel CPUs on the market are 64-bit architecture, does anybody has installed Ubuntu 10.04 on a 64-bit system? Just wanna know
[15:13] <stupidxpgames> jmes thats not true
[15:13] <jmestrada> anybody has Ubuntu 10.04 running on 64-bit system?
[15:13] <stupidxpgames> most are still 32-bit even the multi cores
[15:13] <jmestrada> stupidxp: it's true in Venezuela lol
[15:13] <pgpkeys> jmestrada ~ me
[15:13] <veer_> like i had issues with lines running thru the pic when watching in fullscreen  and it was removed by terminal codes
[15:14] <jmestrada> pg: can you please describe me your hardware?
[15:14] <stupidxpgames> veer? are you able to enable the drivers?
[15:15] <veer_> em my hardware drivers window just froze
[15:15] <stupidxpgames> =/
[15:15] <jmestrada> pg: and how did you install Lucid? I mean, from a LiveCD or something else way
[15:15] <pgpkeys> jmestrada ~ I'm running a stock HP Compaq Presario CQ61 with AMD M300 dual core CPU
[15:15] <stupidxpgames> turned grey or actually stopped responding and asked for force quit?
[15:15] <pgpkeys> s/AMD/AMD64/
[15:16] <jmestrada> pg: what hd?
[15:16] <stupidxpgames> jmes, did you check the bios support for support for this hd...
[15:16] <veer_> dame i cant force quit it O_o
[15:16] <stupidxpgames> tho most bios past 2003 should support over 500gb
[15:17] <jmestrada> stupidxp: I think I did all kind of checks on BIOS
[15:17] <gothenburg> :D
[15:17] <pgpkeys> jmestrada ~ gimme a sec. i gotta look it up in hwinfo
[15:18] <jmestrada> stupidxp: the MB is a ASRock g41m-vs2
[15:18] <stupidxpgames> veer, sounds like an issue...a restart may fix things...but if your video card has issues or this persists instal 163 version drivers
[15:18] <stupidxpgames> ty jmes
[15:18] <gbillings> Hello #ubuntu irc members! How do I install a Linux x86_64 binary package?
[15:18] <pgpkeys> jmestrada ~ SATA TOSHIBA MK2555GSX
[15:18] <pgpkeys> jmestrada ~ shows up as sda#
[15:19] <pgpkeys> gbillings ~ man dpkg and look at --install or man apt-get and look at install. or read the README / HOWTO for whatever package you got on the site you got it from
[15:19] <jmestrada> pg: well, this is what I going to do, i will download fedora for 64-bit and give it a try
[15:20] <jmestrada> I resist to install Win lol
[15:20] <jmestrada> it's kinda useless to my work
[15:20] <gbillings> pgpkeys: it is not an RPM or DEB package; it is just a tar bzipped archive.
[15:20] <veer_> k but i am sure its some thing that interacts with another and causes the slowmotion just like the running lines but since 10.04 is so new i dont think the solution is in anyones hand yet :(
[15:20] <jmestrada> thanks everybody!
[15:21] <stupidxpgames> xD
[15:21] <pgpkeys> then read the docs in the bz2 or from the site you got it from. since the installation process is determined by the author of the software, you need to find out what he/she says is the way to install it
[15:21] <stupidxpgames> i'm thinking jmes may need to look things over and get a better powersource possibly
[15:22] <sapersi> whats the ubuntu alternative for windows based Cool Edit Pro or Audacity?
[15:22] <stupidxpgames> veer, i know upgrades sometimes reset drivers...so i'd make sure those are good to go first...you would experience less performance because of this
[15:22] <gbillings> pgpkeys: there is no documentation included in the GNU-ARM tar.bz2 unzipped folder; and there is none on the website.
[15:22] <xteejx> QUESTION: "Share files over the Network" section of "Personal File Sharing Preferences" is greyed out stating that "This feature cannot be enabled because the required packages are not installed on your system" -- what packages need to be installed, and why didn't it have an option to do so??
[15:23] <sapersi> Rezound?
[15:23] <pgpkeys> gbillings ~ i HIGHLY doubt that gnu.org is going to release software without docs.
[15:23] <stupidxpgames> how do i instal files on my desktop .run .sh and .exe??
[15:24] <xteejx> .exe??
[15:24] <sapersi> you need wine
[15:24] <sapersi> hq
[15:24] <stupidxpgames> no, its a linux version
[15:24] <xteejx> what do I need to install to enable file sharing across the network?
[15:24] <iceroot> !apt | stupidxpgames (use this instead of downloaded files)
[15:24] <abhinesh> yes linux use ubuntu
[15:24] <stupidxpgames> but it's trying to open the exe in gedit...
[15:24] <xteejx> it's not a linux version with a .exe extension
[15:24] <pgpkeys> actually beagle uses an exe extension :)
[15:25] <pgpkeys> BeagleIndex.exe
[15:25] <xteejx> gpkeys: Yeah but it's mono, easily ported :P
[15:25] <veer_> well i just re/installed  nvidia-glx-173-dev libglitz-glx1 libxcb-glx0-dbg libxcb-glx0-dev
[15:25] <stupidxpgames> xteejx yea it is..sorry dude
[15:25] <stupidxpgames> ugh
[15:26] <gbillings> pgpkeys: i think i found some docs on ubuntu
[15:26] <xteejx> stupidxpdude: Tell us what the package is and someone might be able to help of they have the same thing
[15:26] <pgpkeys> look in /usr/lib/beagle :)
[15:26] <Andrew9> why when i run fsck from livecd it outputs "fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2" ?
[15:26] <pgpkeys> xteejx ~ hehe :) true
[15:26] <psusi> Andrew9: because that's where it's from?
[15:26] <stupidxpgames> veer, all you needed was glx-173 no lib no dev no dbg....
[15:26] <veer_> oh lol
[15:27] <Andrew9> indus: why it is not doing what it supposed to do ?
[15:27] <Andrew9> psusi: why it is not doing what it supposed to do ?
[15:27] <stupidxpgames> now you gotta un-install those and re-install the drivers, make sure its nothing more then  the drivers set...
[15:27] <pgpkeys> i think i have fallen in love with rdiff-backup
[15:27] <psusi> Andrew9: what do you mean?
[15:27] <xteejx> aptitude purge them
[15:27] <[Screamo]> Any terminal command to see what mobo i ahve?
[15:27] <veer_> lol k
[15:27] <stupidxpgames> xD
[15:28] <Andrew9> psusi: i run fsck dev/sda2
[15:28] <xteejx> [Screamo] try cat /proc/ and tab complete and have a looka round
[15:28] <stupidxpgames> it's easily done lol...i've done that many times veer
[15:28] <Zela> whats the link again that I can use so when I turn my computer on it says Ubuntu 10.04 and Windows 7, and not all the other things that pop up.
[15:28] <pgpkeys> does it's job great. (other than not being able to delete a *specific* backup, or the very last one made)
[15:28] <psusi> Andrew9: and?
[15:28] <thune3> Zela: you might check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StartUpManager for easy tweaking.
[15:28] <Andrew9> psusi: and it outs me that line

[15:49] <Andrew9> psusi: but it's not.. it just won't load saying that it cannot find root
[15:50] <acovrig> enlargement, I have never really gotten that to work, are you sure you can't use sftp/ftp
[15:50] <acovrig> BluesKaj, but if you have lots of computers connecting to a server, or a server changing fingerprints alot, you don't want to have to constantly type yes
[15:50] <psusi> Andrew9: when it does that, type ls /dev/sd* and see if it finds sda2... if it does, run blkid..
[15:51] <Andrew9> psusi: ok
[15:51] <BluesKaj> acovrig, yeah, Im used to a home setup, forgotten how widespread, even workplaces ,ubuntu has become
[15:52] <acovrig> BluesKaj, yea, I just have 3 ubuntu&1mac, soon to be managing 20ubuntu&ubuntuserver lol
[15:52] <cristim> BluesKaj: I know that StrictHostKeyChecking can disable this behavior, but I think it also makes the client ignore when a key changes, which I wouldn't want to do
[15:52] <acovrig> so I'll be hitting that soon
[15:53] <ENLARGEMENT> acovrig - it's annoying because I can see the two shared folders in the client's Nautilus "Windows shares on machine1".
[15:53] <ikonia> cristim: it won't ignore it, it will not allow it if the key changes
[15:53] <cristim> ikonia: thanks, I'll give it a try

[16:16] <psusi> Andrew9: weird... now what does blkid say?  does it found the uuid of /dev/sda2?
[16:16] <psusi> Andrew9: it seems like your initramfs is kinda screwed up... run sudo update-initramfs -u
[16:17] <petsounds> hi. some days ago i reinstalled ubuntu and choose 'use password for decrypt home folder' now when i try to reinstall it again with 'specify partitions manually' i cannot choose 'automatically log in'. how to fix it? thanks
[16:18] <Inferus> you've set a password...
[16:18] <Inferus> why would it let you in without password?
[16:18] <Guest52857> Hey, so I've got dual screens but there are some random gaps when I have maximized programs, some to the left where you'd expect a panel to be, others at the top. I also want to have panels on both screens, but I can't seem to do that also. I'm using an ATI 5770 graphics card and Samsung P2350 monitors at 1920 by 1080.

[16:19] <jtaylor13> Can someone tell me how to remove this.  http://ppa.launchpad.net/user/ppa-name/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz
[16:20] <jtaylor13> it is a error everytime i try to update my linux.
[16:20] <acovrig> jtaylor13, apt-get remove lucid?
[16:20] <Vroomfondle> you want to remove that software source from your list?
[16:20] <TecR0c> when inside nano and you can't save because you forgot to do sudo how can you just save what you wrote onto your desktop????? :(
[16:20] <Vroomfondle> TecR0c: ctrl-o
[16:20] <Vroomfondle> then put in a different path & file name
[16:20] <jtaylor13> well i get this error.

[16:21] <Vroomfondle> jtaylor13: remove the lines from /etc/apt/sources.list or (easier) remove them from your repositories list in Synaptic
[16:21] <Guest52857> ohh
[16:21] <jtaylor13> it doesn't show in the list
[16:21] <Andrew9> psusi: update-initramfs: http://paste.ubuntu.com/450633/
[16:22] <TecR0c> Vroomfondle: it doesn't give me the option to enter a different path
[16:22] <guntbert> jtaylor13: !pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list please
[16:22] <Vroomfondle> jtaylor13: okay, do "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list" in a terminal. Enter your password when prompted. Delete the lines with that address in them, and then press ctrl-x to save & exit
[16:22] <Vroomfondle> TecR0c: it doesn't say "file name to write:" ?
[16:23] <Pici> jtaylor13, guntbert, Vroomfondle: fyi, if it was a ppa added with add-apt-repository, it likely is in a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[16:23] <hrw> hi
[16:23] <Vroomfondle> ah, I see, pici
[16:23] <TecR0c> Vroomfondle: working thanks
[16:23] <Vroomfondle> TecR0c: :)
[16:23] <hrw> does someone here uses pulseaudio with kde under maverick? I do not have any sound output with such combo
[16:24] <guntbert> Pici: thx, I'll remember that :-)
[16:24] <Pici> hrw: Maverick support/discussion is in #ubuntu+1
[16:24] <psusi> Andrew9: your system is fubar, reinstall ;)
[16:24] <hrw> Pici: ok
[16:24] <Andrew9> psusi: huh? why do you think so?
[16:24] <ENLARGEMENT> acovrig - both are fresh installs of about 2 weeks ago of 10.04 (I tried upgrading one, but that just caused more trouble than it was worth).
[16:25] <psusi> Andrew9: because that should not happen and I have no idea what could cause it...
[16:25] <acovrig> I upgraded to 10.04, but ended up doing a re-install of 9.10, I didn't like the lack of LoginWindow settings
[16:26] <Andrew9> psusi: won't just replacing UUID to dev do it?
[16:26] <acovrig> enlargement, I upgraded to 10.04, but ended up doing a re-install of 9.10, I didn't like the lack of LoginWindow settings
[16:26] <ENLARGEMENT> acovrig - giving up - it's 1:26 AM here & I've got a 6:30 start.
[16:27] <psusi> Andrew9: maybe, but something is really fubar on your system to cause this problem in the first place...
[16:27] <zoug> anyway to get back the "click and minimize" and scroll for volume control in rhythmbox?
[16:27] <acovrig> gotta love the IRC's no-timezone thing lol
[16:27] <thune3> Bradleyd: can you pastebin  /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[16:28] <psusi> Andrew9: and it seems to be interfering with the correct generation of your initramfs, which is likely to lead to other problems
[16:28] <jtaylor13> the nano source list will not work
[16:28] <guntbert> jtaylor13: in what way?
[16:28] <acovrig> can someone look at http://pastebin.com/aZyZmzyv - it doesn't work
[16:29] <zoug> acovrig, its deleted from pastebin
[16:29] <Andrew9> psusi: i've been running this system from beta2 stage, and i was thinking about reinstalling. i'll reinstall it when i got some free time. thanks for your help
[16:29] <dli> acovrig, I suggest you to use sshfs instead of sftp
[16:30] <odt> Hi. Running Lucid. I've configured my ATI 10.5 proprietary driver for "separate single desktop" operation. Now I get 2 desktops when I log in, how can I make my window manager work only on 0.0 and not on 0.1?
[16:30] <bastid_raZor> acovrig: you should be asking in #bash
[16:30] <jtaylor13> guntbert: says no such file or directory
[16:31] <DJ_HaMsTa> Would i be able to boot from an image in virtualbox ?
[16:31] <acovrig> zoug, ok: http://pastebin.com/vBa2WN50
[16:31] <acovrig> bastid_raZor, not when the script works when not running from PostSession
[16:31] <acovrig> dli, why?
[16:31] <DJ_HaMsTa> nvm got it
[16:32] <guntbert> jtaylor13: you have to give the full path - like sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list   , but as was pointed out before your file might be in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[16:34] <acovrig> so why doesn't it work when adding /path/to/script in PostSession/Default
[16:34] <zoug> acovrig, dli, sshfs uses sftp..
[16:34] <acovrig> zoug, I'm guessing sshfs=SecureSHellFileSystem and sftp=SecureFileTransferProtocol
[16:34] <dli> acovrig, if you want auto sync, try something like unison
[16:35] <acovrig> dli, thanks `apt-get install`...
[16:36] <TecR0c> trying to setup the botchk when i run sudo ./autobotchk pamela.conf -dir /setup/eggdrop/pamela/ -nomail
[16:36] <zoug> acovrig, yeah the filesystem which uses sftp :D
[16:37] <TecR0c> i get ERROR: are you sure you are running form a bot directory
[16:37] <jtaylor13> i tried this. /etc/apt/sources.list but it will not give me the list.
[16:37] <Incarnation> #openoffice.org
[16:37] <Incarnation> oops
[16:37] <Incarnation> sorry
[16:37] <TecR0c> the path is correct though?
[16:38] <Neurotiquette> Is there a way to fool these asanine sites that arbitrarily decide that their site shouldn't run on a linux desktop? (*cough* Netflix *cough*)
[16:38] <TecR0c> any suggestions
[16:39] <Pici> Neurotiquette: The only solution that I've found for netflix is to run Windows in virtualbox. :/
[16:39] <zenlunatic> TecR0c, uh there shouldn't be a /setup unless you mkdir it
[16:39] <guntbert> jtaylor13: please pastebin the output of cat /etc/apt/sources.list  and of ls -l /etc/apt/sources.list.d
[16:39] <zenlunatic> TecR0c, are you familiar with the terms absolute and relative paths?
[16:39] <Neurotiquette> Pici: Surely there should be a way to fool the browser. Thats pretty crude
[16:39] <Wipster> Neurotiquette, modify the brouser header?
[16:39] <guntbert> !pastebin | jtaylor13
[16:40] <Neurotiquette> Wipster: Yes! SOmething like this. How would I do that?
[16:40] <Pancake_> Hello evereyone, Any dutch guy that can programm with c++??
[16:40] <zenlunatic> Pancake_, whats that to do with ubuntu?
[16:40] <guntbert> !ot | Pancake_
[16:40] <Pici> Pancake_: Try ##c++ or ##ubuntu-nl
[16:40] <Pancake_> ok thnx Pici
[16:41] <Pancake_> but I tried!!
[16:41] <acovrig> dli, is unison a cli or a gui app?
[16:41] <Pici> Neurotiquette: Its not just the browser, it needs to run silverlight to show the movie, and aparrently moonlight won't cut it :/
[16:41] <zoug> acovrig, how about cronjobs and lftp?
[16:41] <Wipster> Neurotiquette, there are plugins the allow you to do this might not work if its something else ahhhh like that ^
[16:41] <sipior> Pici: you find it fast enough running out of a vm?
[16:41] <zoug> acovrig, gui
[16:41] <acovrig> zoug, I want sync, not put/get
[16:41] <dli> acovrig, I'm not sure what you want, auto file synchonizing or auto-backup
[16:41] <zio> hi
[16:41] <Pancake_> Pici i get this error for ##C++ =  == Cannot send to channel: ##c++
[16:41] <Pici> Pancake_: you need to register and identify to talk there.
[16:41] <Pici> !register | Pancake_
[16:42] <zenlunatic> TecR0c, you there?
[16:42] <iDominateU> Is 39.75gb enough space to install Ubuntu onto (In virtualbox)?
[16:42] <Neurotiquette> Blah. Netflix isn't that big of a deal to me. Still a little bit of a disappointment!
[16:42] <Pici> sipior: Its pretty fast actually.
[16:42] <sipior> Pici: i'm surprised/impressed :-)
[16:42] <zenlunatic> iDominateU, definitely
[16:42] <acovrig> dli auto-sync, user logs out of comp1, logs into comp1 and has everything from comp1 (via server, of course)
[16:42] <iDominateU> cool.
[16:42] <Pici> Neurotiquette: I wish there was a better way too.
[16:42] <acovrig> dli, oops, comp1, comp2
[16:42] <zenlunatic> iDominateU, my netbook has 8GB
[16:42] <Neurotiquette> Whats the name/location of ubuntu desktop's startup script? I want to add Konversation to it
[16:43] <LucidGuy> I want to enable my wifi and have a linux box sniff out http requests.  In other words I want to see what my neighbors do when they jump onto my wifi.  Any linux apps recommended for this?
[16:43] <iDominateU> ah, that's good then :)
[16:43] <zio> i have a question about grub..

[16:43] <zenlunatic> LucidGuy, wireshark
[16:43] <TecR0c> zenlunatic: just trying something else
[16:43] <Wipster> Neurotiquette, could put it in system -> prefs -> startup applications
[16:44] <zenlunatic> LucidGuy, not all drivers support this though
[16:44] <zio> ubuntu 10.04 comes with grub 2?
[16:44] <acovrig> anyone have any recommendations on how I'd have a user log into comp1 then log out&log into comp2 and have it be as if they are on comp1 (settings,files,ect. sync via server of course)?
[16:44] <Pici> jtaylor13: Its not an executable, you'll need to run an application like nano or cat to look at the file. so: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[16:44] <dli> acovrig, that's what you need, unison: http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/
[16:44] <Pici> zio: Yes, but it will not be installed on an upgrade.
[16:45] <Pancake_> piccu im registerd but still cant chat: Pancake_ is now registered to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>with the password helloworld. and i get == Cannot Send To Channel: ##C++ ??
[16:45] <LucidGuy> sipior,  .. great page.
[16:45] <LucidGuy> zenlunatic, but isnt wireshare a little too technical for my needs?
[16:45] <zio> pici i dont understand what you mean
[16:46] <Neurotiquette> Wipster... that works, thank you\
[16:46] <acovrig> dli, I guess I'll give unison a try, ttfn
[16:46] <LucidGuy> I would love to have an app just monitoring pages .. and ideally displaying password entries etc .. wink wink
[16:46] <zenlunatic> LucidGuy, its not particulary easy in general.  people get degrees in that, its not exactly an overnight thing
[16:46] <Plinker_> anyone in there remember the command to set flags to auto op please
[16:46] <jtaylor13> pici: i see it but can not remove it.It will not edit.
[16:46] <Pancake_> guys im planning getting to ubuntu, but can I still play games like gunz??
[16:47] <Pici> jtaylor13: You'll need to use sudo if you want to be able to modify the file.
[16:47] <jtaylor13> Pici: i did that to open file.
[16:47] <zio> is there a bootable live program or distro that can edit/wipe out grub in case something goes wrong?
[16:48] <LucidGuy> Pancake_, gunz? .. is that a windows game?
[16:48] <Black_Prince> jtaylor13 what do you want to edit'
[16:48] <Pici> jtaylor13: Okay, and do you see any lines that match the url that the error is giving you?

[16:51] <Black_Prince> zio: Do you have any other operating systems running?
[16:51] <LjL> zio: you can replace it with a Windows MBR using a Windows recovery CD or using the "mbr" package in Ubuntu
[16:52] <zio> windows recovery cd? you mean boot from the installation cd?
[16:52] <jtaylor13> can not get past this error. god it sucks. sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[16:52] <LjL> zio: yes
[16:52] <jtaylor13> sorry wrong text.
[16:53] <iDominateU> oh, and should the .iso for ubuntu 10.04 be 699mb?  I only ask as a number of other times I tried it, the installer looked really, really weird.
[16:53] <Vroomfondle> iDominateU: sounds about right
[16:54] <zio> super grub disk would work? anybody tried it?
[16:54] <iDominateU> ok.

[17:01] <kyle_> I have found a forums post for it (9.4)
[17:01] <ikonia> ooh, wow, I've never setup blue tooth speakers, I'd assume you have to pair them first
[17:01] <kyle_> but I have 10.4
[17:01] <kyle_> yeh I have completed this before on 9.4.  Amazing and easy by guide
[17:01] <ikonia> kyle_: well, my first advice would be to pair them up
[17:01] <kyle_> but something is missing for ubuntu 10.4
[17:01] <ikonia> kyle_: the 9.04 guide should be the same for that
[17:01] <ikonia> kyle_: ah, so you've done this before, ok, cool
[17:01] <ikonia> kyle_: what's missing
[17:01] <FloodBot1> ikonia: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:01] <kyle_> need to install simething extra I think
[17:01] <jtaylor13> clemyeats; there not one with that name.that is the problem.

[17:02] <clemyeats> jtaylor13: just remove that ppa altogether
[17:02] <jtaylor13> clemyeats: it was copied and pasted.it is the error i get
[17:02] <ikonia> kyle_: what's actually mising
[17:02] <clemyeats> jtaylor13: yes, it looks like a copy/paste from a generic tutorial :)
[17:02] <thesheff17_> vmbuilder: error: no such option: --tmpfs

[17:03] <ikonia> kyle_: what's actually missing on your system though
[17:03] <kyle_> Step 11
[17:03] <inneedofhelp> hello, can anyone help me with my xubuntu / grub booting problems? The people in the xubuntu channel said I might try over here.
[17:03] <kyle_> PulseAduio I think
[17:04] <Black_Prince> inneedofhelp what is the problem with grub?
[17:04] <button> Just updated my netbook running 10.04 and it won't boot anymore.. runs until the ubuntu splash is shown (animation) and after that ; nothing (no diskactivity whatsoever)
[17:04] <button> any suggestions? (tried noapic noacpi in grub, fsck and reconfiguring the linux-image)
[17:04] <ikonia> kyle_: pulseaudio is part of ubuntu 10.04 so what's teh error
[17:04] <varunthacker> i installed a .sh file...how to remove it?
[17:04] <inneedofhelp> when I boot, I get 'error: unknown filesystem.'
[17:04] <stupidxpgames> grr ok so i used storage device manager to try and mount a ntfs...i typed things wrong..and it's now looking for the volume at /media/g:\ and mount can not find it labeled as such? what do i do..???
[17:04] <ikonia> varunthacker: re-run it, see what it does then remove the files it installs
[17:04] <button> apt-get upgrade should not break my netbook.. shoud it?
[17:04] <inneedofhelp> then a 'grub rescue' command prompt.
[17:04] <thesheff17> ikonia I want to run it in RAM
[17:04] <thesheff17> and that is the option it tells me to use
[17:05] <ikonia> thesheff17: I know that - however try it without first,
[17:05] <kyle_> ikonia: Step 11.  - i know it says it will fail but it didn't work like it did on 9.4 (long time ago)
[17:05] <Jon--> I am having difficulty editing grub.cfg for BackTrack [update-grub is not booting properly]. Anyone able to help?  [Yes, I realize I should be asking in #backtrack-linux, but if anyone has a minute, no one ever assists you in there]
[17:05] <hyuukai> someone good with sound?
[17:05] <ikonia> kyle_: you need to explain what happens, and what you are expecting to happen
[17:05] <ikonia> Jon--: your discussing this in #backtrack-linux, please don't crosspost
[17:05] <stupidxpgames> grr ok so i used storage device manager to try and mount a ntfs...i typed things wrong..and it's now looking for the volume at /media/g:\ and mount can not find it labeled as such? what do i do..???
[17:05] <Black_Prince> stupidxpgames umount device using sudo umount then remount it
[17:05] <thesheff17> k...it is running how long does the bootstrap process take
[17:05] <varunthacker> ikonia, the thing is i know where it's executable is .So how do i know what all else are linked to it?
[17:06] <thesheff17> it is running on a pretty good machine but it feels like it takes forever
[17:06] <Pici> Jon--: As we've said before we don't support backtrack here, even if that channel isn't busy.  Sorry.
[17:06] <kyle_> ikonia: OK, i'll run through it and get the errors
[17:06] <ikonia> varunthacker: use -x when you run the shell
[17:06] <stupidxpgames> ikonia if no one is helping hiim he is free to post anywhere?
[17:06] <ikonia> stupidxpgames: no he's not
[17:06] <Pici> stupidxpgames: no.
[17:06] <stupidxpgames> ???
[17:06] <ikonia> varunthacker: that will show you whats going on as it runs
[17:06] <stupidxpgames> that wrong..
[17:06] <ikonia> stupidxpgames: no, it's the channels topic,
[17:06] <LjL> stupidxpgames, excuse me, does this channel say "backtrack"?
[17:06] <Thlize> hi
[17:07] <hyuukai> whats the list command so i can find my sound card?
[17:07] <stupidxpgames> its ubuntu related..??
[17:07] <LjL> hyuukai: try "sudo lshw -C sound"
[17:07] <ikonia> stupidxpgames: no it's not
[17:07] <stupidxpgames> ok
[17:07] <stupidxpgames> -.-
[17:07] <Thlize> need some help plz
[17:07] <Pici> Jon--: You could also try asking in ##linux
[17:07] <denny> stupidxpgames: this channel is really busy, it makes sense to try to split out specific stuff into specific channels where possible
[17:07] <coz_> Thlize,  what is the issue?
[17:07] <stupidxpgames> i agree
[17:07] <ikonia> Jon--: I've given you the links to explain how grub2 is put togther, they would be a good starting point then ask specific questions
[17:07] <hyuukai> LjL ok now how do i figure how its not working? :P
[17:07] <denny> stupidxpgames: then a question asked one hour can be seen by someone the next hour without six thousand lines of chat in-between  :)
[17:08] <stupidxpgames> heheh
[17:08] <LjL> hyuukai: eh, try "lspci" if it's internal
[17:08] <hyuukai> it is
[17:08] <hyuukai> ive found it
[17:08] <Thlize> did an usb drive for mac as they said on the ubuntu website, cant get it to boot, it doesn't recognise the usb drive
[17:08] <stupidxpgames> well if those channels were as bz as this one..there would be 6k lines of text that no one could read heheh
[17:08] <hyuukai> LjL MCP51 high definition audio
[17:08] <varunthacker> ikonia, it says varun@varun:/usr/local/netbeans-6.8/bin$ ./netbeans -x
[17:08] <Pici> stupidxpgames: Backtrack isn't an official variant of Ubuntu, they make their own changes and use their own repository.  Its not just that we don't want to support it, we can't.  The backtrack folks are the most knowledable about what changes they make.
[17:08] <varunthacker> Unknown option -x
[17:08] <ikonia> ok - lets drop it now please
[17:08] <Pici> ikonia: yes, sorry :)
[17:08] <button> right..
[17:09] <Jon--> ikonia: Can you at least tell me the proper pathing for kernel and initrd? I can't find it anywhere on Google. No GRUB guide would help me with that :P
[17:09] <ikonia> varunthacker: if it's not beans it's probably just goint to install into /usr/local/netbeans, so removing that "should" do it, failing that, read the screen
[17:09] <hyuukai> LjL ive got no sound :/
[17:09] <ikonia> Jon--: I don't know your system, as I explained earlier, the document I gave you explained the layout that you can then match to your system
[17:10] <stupidxpgames> how do i find out what the device name is, if its not findable by mount or umount??
[17:10] <Thlize> any ideas anyone ?
[17:10] <Jon--> ikonia: I meant a default installation of BT4, where is kernel and initrd images?
[17:10] <Jon--> ikonia: I haven't moved anything, bt4-final.
[17:10] <ikonia> Jon--: a.) ask backtrack b.) the default is where YOU tell it to be, partition wise
[17:10] <webroasters> what's the off topic irc for ubuntu
[17:10] <Thlize> plz help
[17:10] <ikonia> webroasters: ubuntu-offtopic
[17:11] <ikonia> #ubuntu-offtopic sorry
[17:11] <webroasters> ah, i put a - in it where it didn't belong
[17:11] <webroasters> @ikonia: thanks
[17:11] <dli> Thlize, can you see the usb device in dmesg? type "dmesg" in a terminal
[17:12] <Jon--> ikonia: Not by partition, by file system. ie /boot/somenamehere? I just want to make sure my grub config has the right files and the issue is elsewhere.
[17:12] <varunthacker> ikonia, fine.ill just delete the folder.Wanted to do that because netbeans 6.9 is out! the other thing i installed oracle server...i have no clue what all did it install.How do i delete it.My startup time has become really slow because of it
[17:12] <linguini> I'm looking for a brain-dead simple guide to installing ubuntu for somebody who has very little computer experience.  Think, the kind of person who has never burned a disk image, never installed an OS, etc.
[17:12] <ikonia> Jon--: it's all in /boot
[17:12] <hyuukai> Someone help me with my sound problem @/
[17:12] <hyuukai> :/
[17:12] <ikonia> varunthacker: the oracle installer is custom it asks you questions at install time about where to put things, so only you wouldl really know that
[17:12] <stupidxpgames> so do i just type "umount ntfs 79.8 gb media????
[17:12] <ikonia> stupidxpgames: wherre is it mounted
[17:13] <stupidxpgames> i have no idea...
[17:13] <ikonia> stupidxpgames: type "mount" to see
[17:13] <stupidxpgames> its not mounted
[17:13] <ikonia> stupidxpgames: then you don't need to unmount it
[17:13] <hyuukai> sound preference in hardware if i have an internal card should something appear in there?
[17:13] <Jon--> ikonia: So initrd is: /boot/initrd.img-<IP_ADDRESS> and kernel is /boot/vmlinuz-<IP_ADDRESS>?
[17:14] <Thlize> dli, it ask me for a password
[17:14] <mauro> I have an oldish laptop I want to convert to Linux. Unfortunately it hangs at boot. probably while trying to launch the xserver. Can someone help me troubleshot this?
[17:14] <ikonia> Jon--: sorry - this isn't supported here
[17:14] <bullgard> '~$ sudo smartctl -d ata -A /dev/sda' diplays 21 raw data values.  It's a simple question.
[17:15] <ikonia> stupidxpgames: input the device, and pastebind the output of "sudo fdisk -l"
[17:15] <hyuukai> sound preference in hardware if i have an internal card should something appear in there?
[17:15] <hyuukai> Someone...
[17:15] <stupidxpgames> so what i physically remove it, reboot and shut down re-install?
[17:15] <bullgard> ikonia: I will do. Thank you.
[17:15] <ikonia> bullgard: don't know if they have the tools in there - but it will be a good place to start
[17:15] <inneedofhelp> okay chaps, I know you have about a bazillion people clamouring for help here, but is anyone willing to help me with my non-booting xubuntu?
[17:16] <axisys> any other recording tool besides record my desktop? it takes long time to convert a 10 min session to ogv
[17:16] <Parabola`> axisys, look on "alternativeto.com"
[17:16] <ikonia> inneedofhelp: sounds like grub is not setup correctly to point at the right file system, did the install ever work ?
[17:16] <inneedofhelp> nope
[17:16] <axisys> Parabola`: ok
[17:16] <inneedofhelp> new install
[17:17] <Parabola`> axisys its a great website
[17:17] <helo> is there a bigmem kernel in lucid?
[17:17] <iszak> How do I stretch a single wallpaper across two screens? I tried Nitrogen but it didn't seem to work.
[17:17] <inneedofhelp> when I google the problem, I get lots of forum threads telling me to boot using hte live cd to fix it.
[17:17] <Parabola`> axisys: people submit alternative software products so you can find somthign new
[17:17] <helo> (for 32-bit)
[17:17] <inneedofhelp> problem is, it's a very old computer, and I can't do that (I'm using hte alternate install CD)
[17:17] <thesheff17>     hypervisor.optparser.error("%s parsing --part option: %s" % (errno, strerror))

[17:17] <axisys> Parabola`: this domain is on call
[17:17] <thesheff17> mean anything?
[17:17] <Parabola`> on call?
[17:17] <TimeWaster> hi
[17:17] <axisys> on sell
[17:17] <axisys> on sale
[17:17] <Parabola`> axisys:  i might have the domain wrong, google "alternativeTo"
[17:18] <inneedofhelp> someone in the xubuntu channel said you could reinstall grub from the alternate install CD, but I don't know how to go about doing that!
[17:18] <Parabola`> its a real site i was there 2 days ago
[17:18] <inneedofhelp> or even if that *is* the problem.... :(
[17:18] <axisys> Parabola`: found it.. .net
[17:18] <hyuukai> sound preference in hardware if i have an internal card should something appear in there?
[17:18] <Parabola`> inneedofhelp:  its one of the boot options
[17:18] <stupidxpgames> jon- dude no..
[17:18] <helo> ahh... pae == bigmem?
[17:18] <DJ_HaMsTa> virtualbox is nice
[17:18] <ikonia> inneedofhelp: to be honest, I'm not sure if the alternative CD has a rescure mode
[17:18] <Black_Prince> hyuukai: you have sound problem?
[17:19] <Parabola`> i actually have a question too
[17:19] <stupidxpgames> ikon check yur pm
[17:19] <ikonia> inneedofhelp: do you get the grub menu or does it fail before that
[17:19] <hyuukai> Black_Prince yes i do :/
[17:19] <inneedofhelp> no grub menu
[17:19] <inneedofhelp> fails straight to the grub rescue prompt
[17:19] <ikonia> stupidxpgames: ok - so your ntfs disk is /dev/sdb
[17:19] <hyuukai> Black_Prince i have no sound my internal card is coming up when i list pci in terminal
[17:19] <Parabola`> my macbook from 2007 the touchpad is TERRIBLE in 10.04.  it worked fine on previous versions
[17:19] <hyuukai> Black_Prince should it appear somewhere in sound preferences?
[17:19] <ikonia> stupidxpgames: now please pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb"
[17:19] <Parabola`> like, my finger tip wont even activate it, i have the sensitivity maxed out, still nothing
[17:19] <Black_Prince> hyuuka: sudo cat /proc/asound/cards
[17:19] <Parabola`> if anyone has ANY ideas i'd be very greatful
[17:20] <ikonia> inneedofhelp: ok - so it looks like grub will need a re-install as it's looking at the wrong partition (from what you're talling me)
[17:20] <hyuukai> Black_Prince cat: /proc/asound/cards: No such file or directory
[17:20] <Parabola`> ikonia:  couldnt he boot up a liveCD and modify the grub config by hand
[17:20] <inneedofhelp> parabola - computer has 128 mb ram (!)
[17:20] <ikonia> Parabola`: it's not reading the grub config - it's failing before that, so it's looking at the wrong partition for the grub config
[17:20] <ikonia> inneedofhelp: then it doesn't meet the ubuntu minimum requirements of 256
[17:20] <Black_Prince> hyuukai: lspci | grep sound
[17:21] <inneedofhelp> it's xubuntu
[17:21] <Black_Prince> sorry, it's lspci | grep audio
[17:21] <inneedofhelp> the xubuntu channel said to ask here as 'it wasn't specifically xubuntu related'
[17:21] <hyuukai> Black_Prince just made a new line in terminal
[17:21] <PJ2> what is ubuntu's default partitioning software
[17:21] <PJ2> ?
[17:21] <ikonia> inneedofhelp: a big problem is your lacking ram for a desktop install
[17:21] <ikonia> Parabola`: gparted
[17:21] <Black_Prince> hyuukai sorry, it is sudo lspci | grep audio
[17:22] <hyuukai> Black_PRince if i lstpci i get Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2)
[17:22] <inneedofhelp> i know it's not ideal ikonia, but xubuntu says it should work with 128, I think.
[17:22] <PJ2> I've heard a new software has replaced gparted
[17:22] <ikonia> inneedofhelp: really ?
[17:22] <switchgirl_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/450656/ really cant mount this drive (the 250gb one)
[17:22] <PJ2> is that true?
[17:22] <PJ2> ?
[17:22] <hyuukai> Black_Prince again with the command u gave me nothing happens i am directly copying and pasting what u write
[17:22] <inneedofhelp> yup, they want 198 but they have an alternate install CD for computers with less than that
[17:22] <inneedofhelp> which is what i'm using
[17:22] <sebsebseb> Hi
[17:22] <Black_Prince> Ok, you gave me what I needed
[17:23] <inneedofhelp> but the alternate one doesn't have a liveCD option
[17:23] <inneedofhelp> there is a 'rescue mode' option on it
[17:23] <Pici> inneedofhelp: Xubuntu's installer still requires 256mb of ram. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements#Lightweight GUI alternative (Xubuntu) and perhaps https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems as a solution
[17:23] <akaustav> How can I change the resolution on my notebook to 1024 * 768 rather than 1024 * 600?
[17:23] <ikonia> inneedofhelp: Once installed, Xubuntu can run with starting from 192
[17:23] <bcuraboy> hello everyone
[17:23] <Guest98089> hello, I am trying to run a  pc program on Ubuntu using wine but am having some problems anyone have any experience with this?
[17:23] <bcuraboy> i have a question
[17:23] <ikonia> inneedofhelp: it says it needs 192 (it does suggest trying 128) but I think you're pushing it
[17:23] <hyuukai> Black_Prince in sound preferences should my card be under hardware?
[17:24] <PJ2> I've heard a new software has replaced gparted, as ubuntu's default partiotion manager, is that right?
[17:24] <stupidxpgames> ikon check yur pm
[17:24] <sebsebseb> inneedofhelp: I just joined here how much RAM you got? 128MB?
[17:24] <inneedofhelp> yes seb - don't ask....
[17:24] <bcuraboy> does anyone knows of any program that is similar to windows media player or zune,but for ubuntu 64bits?
[17:24] <Dr_Willis> PJ2:  theres a 'disk utilty' in the menus now. its been in ubuntu a while
[17:24] <inneedofhelp> it's a very old box i'm messing around with
[17:24] <stupidxpgames> dude thx
[17:25] <inneedofhelp> but look, are the problems really related to that, or is this grub thing something else?

[17:25] <stupidxpgames> oops =c
[17:25] <rob0917> what is the command to register my nick?
[17:25] <sebsebseb> inneedofhelp: I know a trick for 128MB RAM, that probaby still works with later versions of Ubuntu.  If you try to boot up the desktop CD, it probably won't boot up properly or at all on 128MB RAM,  if you have a 512MB SWAP partition on there already though,  it probaby will.
[17:25] <Pici> !register | rob0917
[17:25] <kyle_> ikonia: you where?
[17:25] <ikonia> kyle_: where what ?
[17:25] <PJ2> Dr_Willis, thanks
[17:26] <akaustav> How can I change the resolution on my notebook running Ubuntu 10.04 to 1024 x 768 rather than 1024 x 600?
[17:26] <angelete2> hi
[17:26] <inneedofhelp> seb - it's xubuntu using an alternate install CD.
[17:26] <angelete2> how do i set ipv6 off
[17:26] <angelete2> ?
[17:26] <erUSUL> !ipv6
[17:26] <kyle_> ikonia: If I try to run PulseAudio it say command not found
[17:26] <sebsebseb> inneedofhelp: apparantly Lubuntu is more lite waight by the way
[17:26] <stupidxpgames> randr?
[17:26] <sebsebseb> !lubuntu | inneedofhelp
[17:26] <bcuraboy> no one?
[17:26] <matrixa1> angelete2, sudo echo "blacklist ipv6" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[17:26] <ikonia> kyle_: that's not a command
[17:26] <kyle_> ikonia: so i did apt-get and that says can't find package
[17:27] <kyle_> I thought it would load PulseAduio
[17:27] <bcuraboy> i just a need a program similar to windows media player or itunes...
[17:27] <ikonia> kyle_: it's already on your system - as I told you
[17:27] <kyle_> How can i check if pulseaudio is installed
[17:27] <ikonia> bcuraboy: wine
[17:27] <ikonia> kyle_: it is
[17:27] <kyle_> oh, i must have missed that message.
[17:27] <sebsebseb> ikonia: as far as I know Itunes doesn't work in Wine
[17:27] <bcuraboy> but i'm using 64bits
[17:27] <matrixa1> angelete2, run that command in the terminal, reboot, and you're done
[17:27] <inneedofhelp> seb -thanks
[17:27] <akaustav> How can I change the resolution on my notebook running Ubuntu 10.04 to 1024 x 768 rather than 1024 x 600?
[17:27] <kyle_> I'll just continue and see.
[17:27] <inneedofhelp> was hoping to use xfce.
[17:27] <ikonia> sebsebseb: probably not, windows media player though, who knows
[17:27] <bcuraboy> zune don't work
[17:28] <sebsebseb> ikonia: yeah WMP will work in Wine
[17:28] <Dr_Willis> akaustav:  is it a netbook? or a actual notebook laptop? whats the native res of the lcd monitor? you did install any extra drivers?
[17:28] <bcuraboy> with 64bits arquitecture?
[17:28] <wise_crypt> !xorg > akaustav
[17:28] <sebsebseb> bcuraboy: you can wine Windows Media Player
[17:28] <bcuraboy> hmmm that sound's interesting..
[17:28] <akaustav> Dr_Willis: It is a netbook.
[17:28] <Dr_Willis> sebsebseb:  thats.. scary
[17:29] <sebsebseb> bcuraboy: however there are a lot of good alternative players natively for Desktop Linux,  and you could even Wine foobar 2000 which is quite popular in Windows
[17:29] <sebsebseb> Dr_Willis: why?
[17:29] <mwen> hi everybody !
[17:29] <angelete2> matrixa1: using blacklist is said for older versions of ubuntu, i'm using 10.4 server
[17:29] <bcuraboy> and it has all that crap of the album art?
[17:29] <wise_crypt> akaustav: follow the link if in grandr it doenst exist
[17:29] <Dr_Willis> akaustav: all the netbooks ive seen (owned) can only do ZZZx600 because thats the res of the lcd. Ive never maanaged to get the intel video/xorg to make it higher and allow me to do the old 'panning' feature of X.  and i tried for most of a week..
[17:29] <wise_crypt> *doesnt
[17:29] <sebsebseb> bcuraboy: yes most players will do album art for Linux
[17:29] <odt> i want to run "DISPLAY=:0.0 compiz --only-current-screen" where do I put that so my normal gdm login works
[17:30] <mwen> if my brother connect to my ubuntu computer at distance how can i disconnect him?
[17:30] <matrixa1> angelete2, it works nonetheless
[17:30] <bcuraboy> i have a lot of them installed in the moment...
[17:30] <sebsebseb> matrixa1: you mean  remote connecting?
[17:30] <bcuraboy> from banshee to jajuk,muine...
[17:30] <matrixa1> sebsebseb, no, ipv6 blacklist
[17:30] <wise_crypt> akaustav: but it will be pain as Dr_Willis told you !
[17:31] <akaustav> wise_crypt: Ok.
[17:31] <sebsebseb> matrixa1: whoops wrong one
[17:31] <Dr_Willis> wise_crypt:  i never did get it to work. :)
[17:31] <sebsebseb> mwen: see above
[17:31] <wise_crypt> Dr_Willis: :)
[17:31] <sebsebseb> !banshee | bcuraboy
[17:32] <sebsebseb> bcuraboy: and I think there are some other players as well, that haven't been mentioned
[17:33] <mwen> sebsebseb: i just connect. be exact please.
[17:33] <bcuraboy> yeap there are a lot of them,but i just wonder of one with the same or similar graphical design of wmp or itunes,but for ubuntu 64bit...
[17:33] <sebsebseb> bcuraboy: graphics, you mean the animations when music plays or?
[17:33] <Dr_Willis> bcuraboy:  you are more concerned with the 'gui' then the features?
[17:33] <apparle> guys what is a .fmt file. I am trying to compile a source and getting errors related to it
[17:34] <mwen> any body can help me?
[17:34] <sebsebseb> mwen: you weren't clear
[17:34] <sebsebseb> mwen: something about your brother, connecting to your computer?
[17:34] <Rigorm0rtis> bcuraboy: There might be a theme for VLC out there that makes it look like WMP
[17:34] <bcuraboy> not the features,because i'm new to ubuntu,but has far as it goes,i'm pleased with the os.i just miss some of the old design of the media players
[17:34] <Dr_Willis> Rigorm0rtis:  there is. :) i saw one last week
[17:35] <bcuraboy> wich one?
[17:35] <Dr_Willis> bcuraboy:  Just try out the other players. and dont worry about the gui. :)  thats the best idea
[17:35] <bcuraboy> if u know the name of the theme,just say it and i'll look for it
[17:35] <inneedofhelp> okay people, I have gone through the CD's rescue mode, and tried reinstalling grub, which ain't working. I also have  'execute a shell in the installer environment', and 'execute a shell in /dev/sda1' options - would I be able to do anything using either of them?
[17:35] <Dr_Willis> bcuraboy:  vlc homepage has an archive of all the themes I recall.
[17:36] <sebsebseb> bcuraboy: who cares about music player looks loads anyway?  I mean so what as long as the music plays?
[17:36] <mwen> no. i just want to know how i can disconnect him?
[17:36] <koblitz> Hello, where can i get support for the NTFS-3g?
[17:36] <sebsebseb> mwen: right
[17:36] <sebsebseb> mwen: well first how is he connecting?
[17:36] <Dr_Willis> mwen:   theres always rebooting. :)
[17:36] <Rigorm0rtis> bcuraboy: I see a few WMP themes on the front page of the VLC skin area.  http://www.videolan.org/vlc/skins.php

[17:37] <sebsebseb> Rigorm0rtis: isn't VLC more of a video player than an audio player though?
[17:37] <sebsebseb> mwen: ok and why is he using ssh?
[17:37] <nak> does anyone know what font is used here http://dwm.suckless.org/screenshots/dwm-20101101.png
[17:38] <Rigorm0rtis> sebsebseb: It does both very well.
[17:38] <Aksh> nak: is tht mono space ?
[17:38] <sebsebseb> Rigorm0rtis: ok
[17:38] <Aksh> or perhaps OCR A Extended
[17:38] <thlize> can someone help me ?
[17:38] <Aksh> which application is that , emacs ?
[17:38] <apparle> guys what is the name of package which contains yacc
[17:38] <nak> Aksh: not monospace
[17:38] <Dr_Willis> !find yacc
[17:38] <pc2> oi
[17:38] <bcuraboy> oi
[17:39] <sebsebseb> mwen: maybe he is sshing your computer, because of a good reason,  however uninstall the openssh server and I guess that will do it
[17:39] <pc2> tc de onde
[17:39] <bcuraboy> portugal
[17:39] <sebsebseb> thlize: yes
[17:39] <sebsebseb> !ask | thlize
[17:39] <mwen> he is connected right now. is there a command without rebooting to disconnect him.
[17:39] <sebsebseb> !pt
[17:40] <koblitz> mwen: Can't you edit the iptables? Disable port 22?
[17:40] <sebsebseb> mwen: yeah I guess there is a command, not sure what though
[17:41] <thlize> i've put the ubuntu files on an usb drive, did what they said on the website, cant get it to boot on the usb drive i'm on mac. thx
[17:41] <Rigorm0rtis> koblitz: mwen might have an easier time doing it with ufw.
[17:41] <Jordan_U> mwen: sudo pkill sshd
[17:41] <renbeb> #join
[17:41] <sebsebseb> Jordan_U: need sudo to kill that?
[17:42] <soreau> Alright, Im back at it
[17:42] <koblitz> Rigorm0rtis: Oh.. yeah. I'm used to edit iptables.
[17:42] <Jordan_U> sebsebseb: Depends on what user he's logged in as.
[17:42] <sebsebseb> thlize: oh a Mac
[17:42] <mwen> ok thanx everybody
[17:42] <sebsebseb> thlize: I think installing Ubuntu on a Mac, is a bit differnet here and there,  since no BIOS for example
[17:42] <thlize> sebsebseb: yes !
[17:42] <sebsebseb> thlize: try making a CD?
[17:43] <thlize> sebsebseb: dont have any blank cds lol
[17:43] <mwen> Jordan_U: its work !
[17:43] <sebsebseb> thlize: Buy some? :D   anyway I guess there is a way to get your USB working, but I have never installed Ubuntu from a USB stick myself
[17:43] <sebsebseb> !usb
[17:44] <jiangxinhuui> 有人吗？
[17:44] <soreau> I plugged peripherals and logged syslog to a different machine but there seems to be nothing out of the ordinary. But the problem is, I added a wifi card to my 10.04 box and now after about 1.5 hours, the machine goes to sleep and stops responding to pings (over hardwire ethernet) and when I check it, I can do numlock on/off but then if I try mgcsysrq REISUB, it does not work and then freezes to numlock wont work either
[17:44] <jiangxinhuui> 没人说中国话阿 。。
[17:44] <soreau> While the machine is awake, everything is fine
[17:44] <sebsebseb> !english
[17:44] <thlize> sebsebseb yes i know, was just hoping it would work like that
[17:44] <jiangxinhuui> 我 就说中文你怎么的 吧
[17:44] <sebsebseb> thlize: yes you can do from USB,  or shoudl be able to I guess even on a Mac, if its done right
[17:44] <soreau> but after leaving it for some time, about 1.5 hours, it goes to sleep and never recovers
[17:45] <mwen> can i connect to my computer in graphic mode? like see the desktop, play a video and see it.
[17:45] <soreau> soooo... what do you might think might be wrong?
[17:45] <jiangxinhuui> 没意思。。。
[17:45] <sebsebseb> mwen: play a video as the desktop background?
[17:45] <thlize> sebsebseb: followed exactly what they said, bbut on the drive it seems that everything is windows
[17:46] <mwen> anyway.
[17:46] <soreau> sebsebseb: he means like vncviewer etc
[17:46] <sebsebseb> thlize: seems everything is WIndows?
[17:46] <sapersi> whats the command for lame?  sudo get-apt install lame?
[17:46] <sebsebseb> !vnc > mwen
[17:46] <sebsebseb> sapersi: ok
[17:46] <sebsebseb> soreau: ok
[17:46] <sapersi> sebsebseb: that was correct
[17:47] <sapersi> sebsebseb: ?
[17:47] <sebsebseb> sapersi: I messaged you by mistake
[17:47] <thlize> sebsebseb: the files, it's .exe
[17:47] <sebsebseb> thlize: ah right yeah
[17:47] <sebsebseb> thlize: how did you try to make the bootable USB?
[17:47] <thlize> sebsebseb: so i dunnow how my mac would boot on them
[17:47] <sebsebseb> thlize: if you mean wubi.exe by the way, well thats in the ISO
[17:48] <sebsebseb> !usb | thlize
[17:48] <thlize> i ok i'll check that
[17:49] <sapersi> i got it its apt-get

[17:54] <nowarninglabel> Greetings, I just managed to crash my 9.10 system, and I'd like to look at what may have caused that, is there a thread which will walk me through the steps I should take to find the cause?
[17:55] <kv102t> someone point me to a WAV file on un=buntu 10.4
[17:55] <pvl1> nowarninglabel, maybe, buts its all basic procedure, look at your log files for a starting point
[17:55] <nowarninglabel> pvl1: Ok, but which log files, I'd rather not wade through the wrong ones?
[17:55] <karan> i need help
[17:56] <pvl1> kv102t, what do you mean a wav file on ubuntu, like literally a wav file within the system
[17:56] <BluesKaj> kv102t, speaker-test -c2 -Ddefault -t wav
[17:56] <kv102t> pvl1: Something I can play to aplay
[17:56] <pvl1> nowarninglabel, that first and foremost to check would most likely be messages. hold on a sec lemme see if i can find the command thatll ease it for you

[17:58] <Karan> how do i remove untrusted softwares
[17:58] <sebsebseb> hi Karan such as?
[17:59] <Karan> i cant update through update manager
[17:59] <Karan> it wnts me to remove untrusted software
[17:59] <sebsebseb> Karan: update what?
[17:59] <pvl1> nowarninglabel, ok you might need to run this a few times because different applications write to the log in different ways, so
[17:59] <Karan> update package through update manager
[18:00] <Karan> i m using ubuntu 10.04
[18:00] <sebsebseb> Karan: just security updates?
[18:00] <Karan> on GNome platform
[18:00] <pvl1> nowarninglabel, you can start with this: sudo grep 'rror' /var/log/*
[18:00] <Karan> yeah
[18:00] <sebsebseb> Karan: ok
[18:00] <Karan> also security update
[18:00] <nowarninglabel> pvl1: excellent ill try that right now
[18:00] <sebsebseb> Karan: what does it want to remove?
[18:00] <WJW> sebsebseb: Update Manager runs automatically and wants to update all packages that need it.
[18:00] <sebsebseb> WJW: indeed
[18:00] <sebsebseb> WJW: well they still have to tell it to update, but yeah
[18:00] <Karan> it wants me to remove untrusted software
[18:00] <pvl1> nowarninglabel, i left out the E because we dont know if itd be a E or e.  but that does all the logs, for the record
[18:00] <sebsebseb> should say when updates are available
[18:00] <sebsebseb> Karan: untrusted software such as?
[18:01] <pvl1> nowarninglabel, however now you can really see everything
[18:01] <nowarninglabel> pvl1: hehe yes I was wondering, figured you had a reason
[18:01] <sebsebseb> Karan: have you stayed with the offical Ubuntu repos or added 3rd party ones?
[18:01] <nowarninglabel> pvl1: yep, i got a good list to go through, thank you much ill see what I can find in this
[18:01] <Karan> added 3rd party
[18:01] <sebsebseb> Karan: for what?
[18:02] <pvl1> nowarninglabel, no porblem. you can directly save the output if you add "> log.txt" to the end  without the quotes
[18:02] <Karan> for rythembox codecs
[18:02] <sebsebseb> Karan: uhmm
[18:02] <nowarninglabel> pvl1: great thanks, have a good day
[18:02] <nowarninglabel> pvl1++
[18:02] <sebsebseb> Karan: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras takes care of most of that kind of stuff, with the offical repos
[18:02] <sebsebseb> which repos did you add?
[18:03] <corpsegrindr> Is there any wireless N cards working under ubuntu 10.04 64?
[18:03] <Karan> so do i run this in terminal
[18:03] <sebsebseb> Karan: yeah, but not just yet I guess
[18:03] <sebsebseb> Karan: since there seems to be some kind of problem
[18:03] <Karan> so when do i do it
[18:03] <sebsebseb> Karan: right your trying to do updates, but it wants to uninstall untrusted software?
[18:03] <sebsebseb> which software?
[18:03] <sebsebseb> and which repos did you add?
[18:04] <sebsebseb> Karan: did you add medibuntu for example
[18:04] <sebsebseb> !repos
[18:04] <Karan> i want to add kubuntu
[18:04] <Karan> how do i do it
[18:04] <sebsebseb> Karan: kubuntu is in the offical repos
[18:04] <sebsebseb> Karan: however if you can't just install updates at the moment properly, then maybe there will be issues instaling other programs as well
[18:04] <Karan> lemme try
[18:05] <sebsebseb> Karan: did you add your own repos,  either command line or
[18:05] <sebsebseb> Karan: system > adminstration > software sources or the thing in Synaptic which is the same program
[18:05] <Mateo_> jstill no idea for my fatal: bad string length 0 < 1: setgid_group = problem ? i'm just trying to run the dpkg-reconfigure postfix command
[18:05] <sebsebseb> Karan: which opens up the same program
[18:05] <Karan> i copied text frm some site and run it in terminal
[18:05] <sebsebseb> Karan: which site?
[18:06] <Karan> i dont remember
[18:06] <fearful> Does anyone know why my 'su' authentication fails with my sudo password on Lucid?
[18:06] <sebsebseb> Karan: you should stay with the offical repos,  and if your going to install software from outside the repos, make sure its from trusted sources
[18:06] <roachmmflhyr> Karan: that may be your problem
[18:06] <sebsebseb> Karan: otherwise there is a chance you will get malicious software installed
[18:06] <LjL> fearful: eh, because 'su' would take you to root, but the root account is locked, i believe
[18:07] <Karan> i tried installing kubuntu frm ubuntu software center
[18:07] <Karan> nd its installing
[18:07] <fearful> LjL, thanks but then what would be an alternative to su, on previous version I had no problems.
[18:07] <sebsebseb> Karan: ok, but you said there was some other problem as well
[18:07] <LjL> fearful: actually it doesn't work even on previous versions, if you don't specifically enabled it (which is not adviced)
[18:07] <LjL> fearful: why is sudo not an alternative?
[18:07] <Karan> yeah but i tried now and its running
[18:07] <sebsebseb> Karan: thats what I am wondering about, why it wanted to uninstall programs that it said were untrusted
[18:07] <Karan> no clue
[18:08] <Raycaster> hey folks, i'm trying to get ubuntu to run persistant on a USB stick, 8 GB. any word on an easy method of doing it? the live install doesn't cut it
[18:08] <sebsebseb> Karan: ok did you actasully add any of your own repos?  so  for example in software sources
[18:08] <fearful> LjL, just because I was performing various commands but I guess it doesn't really matter I was  just wondering
[18:08] <sebsebseb> Karan: in fact we can find out what repos, you have, thats quite easy to do
[18:08] <Karan> i copied frm some site
[18:08] <LjL> fearful: "sudo -i" if you want to enter a root shell and not have to type "sudo" before every command
[18:08] <Karan> it was not my own repo
[18:08] <sebsebseb> Karan: yes from site, means you added a 3rd party repo
[18:08] <fearful> LjL, thank you.
[18:08] <Karan> yes
[18:09] <Karan> tell me how do i know which repo
[18:09] <sebsebseb> Karan: that is why it was saying untrusted I guess, since its 3rd party
[18:09] <Karan> yes
[18:09] <sebsebseb> Karan: however if you add the wrong repo, you can possibily get malicious software installed, so got to be careful with stuff like that
[18:09] <Karan> yes
[18:09] <roachmmflhyr> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[18:09] <Karan> will not install frm 3rd party next tym
[18:10] <sebsebseb> Karan: system > administration > software sources
[18:10] <sebsebseb> Karan: sometimes you have to, or install the program in another way, but most of the time you can stay with what is in the offical repos
[18:10] <sebsebseb> Karan: I mean depending on what programs you want
[18:10] <Karan> http://ppa.launchpad.net/canonical-dx-team/une/ubuntu
[18:10] <sebsebseb> Karan: ok that one will be ok
[18:11] <sebsebseb> Karan: what did you install?
[18:11] <Karan> http://ppa.launchpad.net/pidgin-developers/ppa/ubuntu
[18:11] <roachmmflhyr> Raycaster: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[18:11] <sebsebseb> Karan: that one is ok as well
[18:11] <Raycaster> thanks roach
[18:11] <roachmmflhyr> Np
[18:11] <fearful> Does anyone have any idea why when I switch a media player my media buttons stop working, they won't even sound when I touch them. I'm using Rhythmnbox and then I use VLC and they'll stop working.
[18:11] <Raycaster> any word on what the best method there is?
[18:11] <Karan> http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/
[18:12] <sebsebseb> Karan: not sure what that is, but something google, so should be ok
[18:12] <Karan> yeah dis is all i hve
[18:12] <sebsebseb> Karan: what did you get from Google?
[18:13] <acidspoon> hi @ll
[18:13] <Karan> google chrome
[18:13] <sebsebseb> Karan: ok I thought it was that
[18:13] <sebsebseb> Karan: well Firefox :) and theres chromium in the repo
[18:13] <Lord_Rahl> anyone know of a way to test latency between two points? I am going to deploy asterisk I need to make sure the network can handle it
[18:13] <Karan> but chrome is better den chromium i guess
[18:13] <sebsebseb> Karan: Chrome is based on Chromium  and they are rather similar,  however Chromium is open source, where as Chrome is closed source
[18:13] <Karan> wot browser do u suggest
[18:13] <acidspoon> evolution stürzt immer ab, der start dauert ewig und nachdem ich auf abrufen klicke, kommt nach einigen sekunden: beenden erzwingen. was kann ich tun?
[18:13] <sebsebseb> Karan: most people woudn't notice a difference
[18:13] <Karan> ok
[18:14] <sebsebseb> Karan: your on the net book edition yes?
[18:14] <llutz> !de | acidspoon
[18:14] <J_Dubyew> What is Wine's IRC channel, it is #wineHQ?

[18:14] <Karan> ..?
[18:14] <Pici> J_Dubyew: yes.
[18:14] <sebsebseb> Karan: thats up to you, however  don't really need Chrome, since Chromium will do the trick nicely
[18:14] <J_Dubyew> Thanks
[18:14] <Karan> ok
[18:15] <sebsebseb> Karan: Are you on the netbook remix?
[18:15] <Joss_> Hi

[18:16] <BluesKaj> chromium has been giving me probs lately , not loading properly and the it's difficult to loas gadgets on igoogles home page , but otherwise it's ok...i switched to google chrome and the probs went away
[18:16] <Karan> for home wot do u recommend
[18:17] <Karan> kubunut or ubuntu or medibuntu
[18:17] <sebsebseb> Karan: Konqeuror is :)  also you can run KDE apps inside Gnome/Ubuntu and most Ubuntu/Gnome apps run inside KDE/Kubuntu
[18:17] <sebsebseb> Karan: medibuntu isn't a desktop environment, thats well stuff like DVD support for example
[18:17] <sebsebseb> !medibuntu | Karan
[18:17] <zoug> hey anyone using gnome-panel's auto-hide feature? it doesnt show-up after its been hidden, anyone else experiencing the same thing?
[18:17] <sebsebseb> Karan: thers Ubuntu Studio though,  that comes with a lot of multimedia apps though, but can have those in standard Ubuntu/Kubuntu anyway
[18:18] <sebsebseb> !studio | Karan
[18:18] <Joss_> I follow this tutoriel : www.porciello.com/inventel/tv_vlc.htm
[18:18] <Karan> ok
[18:18] <Joss_> and there isn't Flown
[18:18] <kryptyk> zoug: make sure that the panel does not have an unusually high unhide delay set in gconf-editor
[18:18] <CyberDawg> new to Ubuntu... kind of strange :)
[18:18] <Vooloo> is there a tortoiseSVN like SVN gui for ubuntu? for nautilus where you can right click directories, icons when they are updated etc.

[18:19] <Raycaster> it's nice
[18:19] <zoug> kryptyk, yeah i checked it, its safe.
[18:19] <Karan> thnx a lot sebsebseb
[18:19] <Karan> will get back to u for ne further help
[18:19] <kv102t> anyone who what this means ?? pactl load-module module-alsa-sink device=btheadset
[18:19] <kv102t> Failure: Module initalisation failed
[18:19] <kukinensen>  Hello people sorry my english, I try to connect to win2003 std server shared folder from my ubunto using cifs adding a line in fstab but dont work. any help?
[18:20] <kryptyk> zoug: have you tried using gconf-editor to turn off auto-hide and then re-enable it?
[18:20] <sebsebseb> Karan: personally,  I prefer Gnome since used it since 2004,  a bit before the first version of Ubuntu.   KDE is ok, but  I don't like it that much as a desktop environment,  looks like Windows, but better, but then geek to customize.  KDE apps such as Konversation the IRC client I use, and  K3B a good  CD burning app are rather good though.
[18:20] <kryptyk> zoug: sometimes quirky things like that take care of the issue
[18:20] <Joss_> i use ubuntu 10.04 lucid with vlc 1.0.6
[18:21] <zoug> kryptyk, yeah, it works that way, but no one would like to fix it everytime with gconf editor
[18:21] <Karan> ok..
[18:21] <zoug> kryptyk, am i the only one having the issue?
[18:21] <Karan> i can use KDE and Gnome on same system..?
[18:21] <sebsebseb> Karan: yes
[18:21] <Karan> dats good
[18:21] <sebsebseb> Karan: and then just switch between them on the log in screen
[18:22] <sebsebseb> Karan: also when it asks you to configure a log in screen, go with KDM :)
[18:22] <sebsebseb> better than GDM 2
[18:22] <Karan> so if i dont like i can remove it
[18:22] <sebsebseb> Karan: yep
[18:22] <sebsebseb> !puregnome | Karan
[18:22] <kryptyk> zoug: not suffesting using gconf-editor everytime you need to access the panel. Just that changing the settings and then putting them back may fix the problem
[18:22] <sebsebseb> !purekde
[18:22] <sebsebseb> !puregnome
[18:23] <kryptyk> zoug: does the same problem occur when you change the panel orientation?
[18:23] <sebsebseb> Pici: What happended to the puregnome factoid?
[18:23] <Pici> sebsebseb: The factoid was disabled as the instructions were causing potential issues.
[18:23] <sebsebseb> Pici: Oh such as?

[18:23] <Pici> sebsebseb: Removing packages that you needed to boot up completely.
[18:24] <sebsebseb> Pici: ah yes there was someone here before, who removed KDE, and then had some Plymouth issue, or something
[18:24] <sebsebseb> Pici: So if Karan wants to later remove Kubuntu what would you suggest she/he do instead?
[18:25] <kv102t> someone want to help me with PulseAudio issue on 10.4
[18:25] <kv102t> someone want to help me with PulseAudio issue on 10.4, Please..............................
[18:25] <Pici> sebsebseb: I guess remove kubuntu-desktop and do an apt-get autoremove?

[18:25] <Vooloo> is it possible to create multiple dirs in a row, like: mkdir dir1/dir2/dir3 ?
[18:25] <sebsebseb> Pici: I thought kubuntu-desktop is just a meta package though,  says to install stuff, and thats all it does, I thought
[18:26] <sebsebseb> Karan: I guess save the terminal output at what it installed for Kubuntu
[18:26] <sebsebseb> Karan: and then if you want you can remove those later
[18:27] <Karan> ok
[18:27] <sebsebseb> Karan: then again thats what purekde  does I guess hrm,  see what Pici said above
[18:27] <zoug> kryptyk, yes, placing panel anywhere, it shows the same problem
[18:27] <sebsebseb> Karan: if you done your partition space properly, you can have both installed no problem,  Ubuntu/Gnome and Kubuntu/KDE
[18:28] <sebsebseb> Karan: This isn't Windows this is designed to have many apps installed, without problems.
[18:28] <zoug> kryptyk, are you having any similar problems?
[18:28] <Karan> ok
[18:29] <gullfox> wuw ist hier auch ein german ubuntu raum ?
[18:29] <Pici> !de | gullfox
[18:29] <kryptyk> zoug: no, I have not run into this problem
[18:29] <sebsebseb> Karan: whilst your at it by the way, trying out desktop environments,  you might want to do lubuntu and xubuntu as well.  sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop  sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop
[18:29] <kryptyk> zoug: What is the autohide size set to in gconf-editor?
[18:30] <Karan> wots lubuntu
[18:30] <antonio_> ciao
[18:30] <Karan> is it a desktop enviornment or somethng else
[18:30] <sebsebseb> Karan: a lite waight desktop envirionment, apparnatly more so than Xubuntu which is also lite waight
[18:30] <sebsebseb> !lubuntu | Karan
[18:31] <zoug> kryptyk, 1
[18:31] <Karan> buti hve high configuration desktop pc
[18:32] <sebsebseb> Karan: yeah well
[18:32] <Karan> so no need for me to install lubuntu
[18:32] <sebsebseb> Karan: choice
[18:32] <Karan> ok
[18:32] <sebsebseb> Karan: and even on a more powerful computer,  Lubuntu is pretty good :)
[18:32] <Karan> wot do u use..
[18:32] <kryptyk> zoug: try setting it to 4 and see if it unhides. I realize it won't be completely hidden, but just give it a shot
[18:32] <sebsebseb> Karan: Gnome mainly, every now and again KDE,  and I might sometimes log in to LXDE or XFCE
[18:34] <Karan> and wot abt fedora
[18:35] <DarkSector> Karan: what about it ?
[18:35] <sebsebseb> Karan: Fedora is another Linux distribution,  talking about other distros,  is off topic,  but we can pm a bit about that if you want, or do it in #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:36] <DarkSector> Karan: dude, questions like these are for google :D
[18:36] <zoug> kryptyk, nope, it wont work, i think its nothing to do with the unhide problem
[18:36] <DarkSector> Karan: but I'll take a leaf out of your book, you want linux try LFS
[18:36] <andresj> So I want to upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04, but the when I try to boot the LiveCD, it becomes black after a few seconds and stays there. This hasn't happened in previous versions of Ubuntu, in the same hardware. What can I do to make it work?
[18:37] <sebsebseb> DarkSector: I think Karan is a she,  and yeah Google or http://www.distrowatch.com or talk to someone on IRC such as myself, who can explain about distros :)
[18:37] <kryptyk> zoug: perhaps - I suggested 4 because I just spoke with colleague that had a similar problem on Karmic. Panel would not unhide unless the auot_hide_size was at least 4
[18:37] <kryptyk> zoug: not sure what else to suggest though
[18:38] <kryptyk> zoug: do you have any drawers on the panel? are you using Compiz?
[18:38] <DarkSector> sebsebseb: hahaha, no ! karan is an indian name, a male name :D
[18:38] <jaynon> Does anybody know why a portable drive would appear, mount, then after it starts copying a few files to the desktop it disappears/unmounts on its own and gives an error? I'm using Parallels on OS X.
[18:38] <sebsebseb> DarkSector: also recommeding LFS to people who are obviously new users, don't be silly
[18:38] <zoug> kryptyk, yeah, compiz, no drawers, i think i might switch to metacity and that would work
[18:38] <sebsebseb> DarkSector: Karen is a female name around here
[18:38] <DarkSector> sebsebseb: hey its the best way to learn. !
[18:39] <DarkSector> sebsebseb: yeah, thats Karan :D
[18:39] <infid> if you try to connect to ssh and all it does is time out, does that mean the host blocks port 22 period, or could it just be their configuration is set up to only not block you if you're in the authorized_keys or something?
[18:39] <sebsebseb> DarkSector: oh ok
[18:39] <kryptyk> zoug: that was my next suggestion. Doing som quick reading shows Compiz as a major cause for panels not unhiding. I have not seen any immediate solutions though.
[18:39] <Rigorm0rtis> infid: it means you are not reaching the host. If you are denied because of a bad key/password the error will mention that.
[18:40] <zoug> kryptyk, okay lemme try
[18:40] <kukinensen>  Hello people sorry my english, I try to connect to win2003 std server shared folder from my ubunto using cifs adding a line in fstab but dont work. any help?
[18:40] <vorian> During a grub udate, I lost my boot to windows.
[18:41] <vorian> It shows on the list, but it just goes to a black screen when I select it
[18:41] <frag4now> hi all. Someone here can help me installing codeblocks from its web site package?
[18:41] <Rigorm0rtis> kukinensen: could you paste your fstab line?
[18:41] <ubuntu-usr> hi all
[18:41] <DarkSector> vorian: you need to do a sudo update-grub
[18:41] <vorian> DarkSector: did that
[18:41] <fearful> vorian, also you can recover windows boot if you have the Windows CD
[18:41] <T1750> what does this kernel option do i can't find file= as a normal kernal option file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed
[18:41] <vorian> hence, grub update
[18:42] <DarkSector> vorian: thats strange, and you say it shows in menu.lst
[18:42] <vorian> fearful: yeah, not on me though
[18:42] <infid> Rigorm0rtis: when i do ssh -vvv it says 'reading config data /etc/ssh/ssh_config. applying options for *. ssh_connect: needpriv 0. Connectiing to [ip] port 22. .... Connection timed out.
[18:42] <vorian> DarkSector: yeah, and it shos on the grub menu when I boot up
[18:42] <ubuntu-usr> i've got wireless eaphones and i'm getting proglems with internet connection (it's disconnecting) in time when i use them
[18:42] <vorian> shows*
[18:42] <moody> How do I keep Ubuntu from automatically logging out after going idle?
[18:42] <kukinensen> hi rigorortis here is teh line //winserver/shredfolder /home/linux/server smbfs iocharset=utf8,credentials=/etc/.smbcredentials,gid=1000 0 0
[18:43] <DarkSector> vorion: strange
[18:43] <linuxR> hello, I have this little problem: I would like to be able to completely turn off the screen as soon as the system shutdown sequence starts, or at least permanently show some picture (instead of the usual line-by-line output..How could I achieve this? thanks
[18:43] <vorian> i was just hoping I wasn't going to have to go home and dig it out
[18:43] <kukinensen> i have created de group server whith the guid 1000
[18:43] <Rigorm0rtis> infid: Yep, sounds like a connection issue to me. Check that port 22 is open.
[18:43] <armor-64> hi!i i don't know if it is a good place to ask!before i buy the new 23'' monitor with the resolution 1920x1080 i want to know if i can play HD videos with the 8600GT 256MB at ubuntu!i don't want to have problems with the videos and i don't want to change the VGA
[18:44] <sebsebseb> !distros > Karan
[18:44] <kukinensen> the conection is success but i have too many timeouts and the tail on syslog tells me CIFS VFS no response to cmd 46
[18:44] <sebsebseb> that was odd ^
[18:45] <zoug> kryptyk, this is surprising, i tried many times before switiching to metacity, if i get my mouse pointer to any of the corners it works all the time. its weird.
[18:45] <Rigorm0rtis> kukinensen: Have you tried using the server's IP address? Also, your fstab line should say "cifs" not smbfs.
[18:45] <thune3> T1750: what are you trying to do?
[18:45] <Pici> sebsebseb: hrm.  I'll take a look at why that happened.
[18:45] <DarkSector> !distro > DarkSector
[18:45] <DarkSector> !distros > DarkSector
[18:45] <zoug> kryptyk, may be 100/150 pixels from the edge, it works.
[18:45] <sebsebseb> Pici: ok
[18:46] <Pici> DarkSector: Please don't test it in the channel.
[18:46] <DarkSector> sebsebseb: happens with distro
[18:46] <DarkSector> Pici: I did a private message, something wrong with the bot
[18:46] <jono_> hi all - I will be doing my normal community Q+A videochat (not for tech issues, but questions about Ubuntu and Canonical) in 15mins at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/at-home-with-jono-bacon
[18:46] <jono_> join us!
[18:46] <FloodBot1> jono_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[18:47] <kukinensen> rogormortis: I will change those parameters and try, wait me please
[18:47] <moody> Help!  How do I keep Ubuntu from automatically logging out after going idle?
[18:47] <jono_> vorian, I would say it is pretty relavent :)
[18:47] <DarkSector> jono_: lol, its not
[18:47] <vorian> yes, agreed :)  laughing at the bot mostly
[18:47] <jono_> DarkSector, how no so?
[18:47] <jono_> this is a support channel
[18:48] <jono_> I do a videocast as Ubuntu Community Manager
[18:48] <jono_> seems valid to me
[18:48] <jono_> vorian, ahhh :)
[18:48] <nucc1> is it possible to get sound equalizers for pulseaudio on ubuntu?
[18:48] <DarkSector> jono_: exactly, anthing other that belongs to #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:48] <jono_> DarkSector, riight
[18:48] <novastar> hey guys does anyone know a quick way to convert a pdf document to a full size png?
[18:48] <kukinensen> rigormortis: same result
[18:49] <Yahweh> Hey guys, I just did something EPIC, you know that hole on the bottom of the deep part of the toilet that shoots out water to flush the toilet? I managed to get a turd in there! It seemingly violates physics: http://trollbot.org/in-the-hole.jpg
[18:49] <sebsebseb> DarkSector: sure I guess, but jono_ is a bit of an exception to that :D
[18:49] <leini> hey
[18:49] <DarkSector> sebsebseb: why so ?
[18:49] <DarkSector> sebsebseb: comm manager ?
[18:49] <kukinensen> rigormortis:connect ok but she still waiting for show me the files in the file navigator
[18:49] <sebsebseb> DarkSector: yeah hes  famous in Ubuntu land
[18:50] <DarkSector> sebsebseb: oic, so rules don't apply there now then ?
[18:50] <leini> sno
[18:50] <leini> is this you?
[18:50] <sebsebseb> DarkSector: I didn't mean like that, anyway this is off topic, talk to Pici or  someone about it if you realy must though
[18:50] <DarkSector> sebsebseb: i couldn't care less, just here to do my bit
[18:50] <sebsebseb> DarkSector: #ubuntu-ops maybe even
[18:51] <jaynon> Does anybody know why a portable drive would appear, mount, then a minute after i start it copying a few files to the desktop it disappears/unmounts on its own and gives an error? I'm using Parallels on OS X.
[18:51] <leini> sno
[18:52] <thune3> jaynon: look at dmesg or /var/log/syslog, to see if you can get more info in the error
[18:53] <Rigorm0rtis> kukinensen: have you tried mounting the share from the command line?
[18:54] <clao> hi, got  a question, i hope someone could help me. I have  a computer that used to be able to play ageofempires 2 and warcraft III without problems on winxp. With xubuntu 10.x, i can't play any 3d linux games, though courriously with wine emulating win 98 i can get aoe started but units dont show
[18:54] <disappearedng> Anyone here see anything wrong with this? http://paste.pocoo.org/show/226228/ my mp3 player doesn't mount
[18:54] <kukinensen> rigormortis: yes, same result
[18:54] <Rigorm0rtis> kukinensen: any error messages?
[18:55] <kukinensen> rigormortis: the connection works fine no errors
[18:55] <kukinensen> rigormortis: the problem is the tieout from the server
[18:55] <Timmmm> Hey, nautilus crashes when I click on the background of a window (i.e. space between icons). How do I start it in gdb so that it doesn't fork and immediately return? I think KDE has a --dont-fork option or something like that. Is there something similar for gnome/gtk?
[18:55] <Ark1> testing. can anyone read this
[18:55] <helo> after installing a new kernel (pae), the nvidia kernel module is unavailable
[18:55] <kukinensen> rigormortis: timeout sorry
[18:56] <helo> do i need to reinstall the nvidia packages? i thought it would be automatically handled...
[18:56] <shoopdawoop> yes Ark1
[18:56] <jaynon> thune3: personally i can't make any sense of the output from dmesg, but i can depaste the last dozen lines or so and maybe you'll know what it means?
[18:57] <kukinensen> rigormortis: when i make a click in the launcher over the desktop, the file navigator open but 1 minute before show me the files
[18:57] <thune3> jaynon: use a pastebin
[18:58] <kukinensen> rigormortis: and when i try to copy a file from this mounted folder never finish
[18:58] <dfrey> Is there a way to make ubuntu boot without the graphical startup stuff?  I'm trying to figure out why my computer locks up while booting 2.6.32-22-generic
[18:59] <sebsebseb> dfrey: yes
[18:59] <sebsebseb> dfrey: you can do text only
[18:59] <andresj> Has anyone else had trouble with the new LiveCD?
[18:59] <sebsebseb> dfrey: locks up? got propritary Nivida driver installed or something?
[18:59] <sebsebseb> !details | andresj
[18:59] <andresj> sebsebseb: So I want to upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04, but the when I try to boot the LiveCD, it becomes black after a few seconds and stays there. This hasn't happened in previous versions of Ubuntu, in the same hardware. What can I do to make it work?
[19:00] <Rigorm0rtis> kukinensen: I'm not sure why there would be such a delay, sorry. :(
[19:00] <sebsebseb> andresj: Which version you currently got installed, and what hardware?  I mean like graphics card for example
[19:00] <clao> hi, got  a question, i hope someone could help me. I have  a computer that used to be able to play ageofempires 2 and warcraft III without problems on winxp. With xubuntu 10.x, i can't play any 3d linux games, though courriously with wine emulating win 98 i can get aoe started but units dont show
[19:00] <dfrey> sebsebseb: yes (nvidia driver).  How do I boot text only?  Is the nvidia driver problem well known?
[19:00] <kukinensen> rigormortis: Ok no problem thanks for your help and patience ;)
[19:01] <sebsebseb> dfrey: does your boot up screen, look well odd, when the proprritary driver is installed?
[19:01] <andresj> sebsebseb: currently I have Karmic, and the LiveCD is Lucid. My graphics card is an Nvidia GeForce, while my CPU is amd atholon 64, dual core.
[19:01] <sebsebseb> andresj: 9.10 is still good untill end of April next year, when it goes end of life, 10.04 offers little advantage
[19:01] <sebsebseb> andresj: also you do the propriatry Nivdia driver in 9.10 yeah?
[19:02] <andresj> sebsebseb: yes, I do.
[19:02] <dfrey> sebsebseb: I get to the grub menu and everything looks normal.  If I select 2.6.32, it locks up during boot, wherease 2.6.31 does not
[19:02] <sebsebseb> andresj: ok well if you did do 10.04, you might get a problem with the boot up 10.04 has since the driver, like what happended to me on other computer
[19:02] <sebsebseb> dfrey: ok seems a bit odd
[19:02] <jaynon> thune3: http://pastebin.com/3QFhsjm0 this time it quit before i even started copying any files, just spontaneously
[19:02] <sebsebseb> andresj: 10.04 offers little proper advantage over 9.10
[19:03] <BGL-[s]> http://www.ustream.tv/channel/at-home-with-jono-bacon
[19:03] <sebsebseb> dfrey: well you should use the latest kernel that you got as an update
[19:03] <helo> sebsebseb: a few little proper disadvantages, though :/
[19:03] <dexter> i am having trouble installing mysql i get this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/450712/ how can i fix this?
[19:03] <andresj> sebsebseb: except, for example, updated firefox. plus I like to be on the cutting edge :P What exactly is the problem you say about the driver?
[19:03] <sebsebseb> helo: depends on hardware, and what the user wants
[19:03] <kai_kracker> hi... can anyone help me?
[19:04] <dfrey> sebsebseb: I would if it booted correctly
[19:04] <thune3> disappearedng: can you set your mp3 player to MSC mode in some kind of USB settings menu?
[19:04] <sebsebseb> andresj: you will get a proper update for 9.10 soon as well,  when it comes to FIrefox, unless it happended already
[19:04] <sebsebseb> andresj: so thats not really a good enough reason to upgrade to it anymore
[19:04] <kukinensen>  Hello people sorry my english, I try to connect to win2003 std server shared folder from my ubunto using cifs adding a line in fstab. The connection works fine, but I have a 1 minute delay to see my files on the file navigator. any help?
[19:04] <helo> sebsebseb: i meant there are some small disadvantages (stability) to running 10.04 :/
[19:04] <sebsebseb> andresj: also the version 9.10 has by default, isn't that old anyway
[19:04] <andresj> sebsebseb: "i like to be on the cutting edge" :P although stability might be a good reason to stay away.
[19:05] <sebsebseb> andresj: if you want cutting edge, Ubuntu is actsaully the wrong distro
[19:05] <andresj> sebsebseb: you referring to fedora?
[19:05] <sebsebseb> andresj: yes Fedora for example
[19:05] <gcola> Everything else is running fine, but after a recent reboot my KVMs are suddenly SLOOOOWWWW.  Anyone seen anything like this?
[19:05] <dexter> what is causing this error? * kixu has quit (Quit: Leaving)
[19:06] <dexter> sorry :S what is causing this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/450712/
[19:06] <andresj> sebsebseb: considering that, actually. I do enjoy the way ubuntu just works, too. But it might be a good idea to try it out.
[19:07] <sebsebseb> andresj: loads of other distros worth trying out, but  I guess talking about them in here, is off topic really
[19:07] <thune3> jaynon: i'm looking into it. this is a WD external hard driver?
[19:07] <andresj> sebsebseb: yes. going back to the topic, what is the issue with the driver? I still would like to make it work.
[19:07] <kukinensen>  Hello people sorry my english, I try to connect to win2003 std server shared folder from my ubunto using cifs adding a line in fstab. The connection works fine, but I have a 1 minute delay to see my files on the file navigator. any help?
[19:07] <sebsebseb> andresj: that depends,  I think its for nearly all Nivida cards though
[19:07] <jaynon> thune3: yes sir, i thought it was FAT formatted but i suspect it maybe Ext2 or 3 based on os x's disk utility info
[19:08] <helo> should reinstalling the nvidia-current package install the required nvidia kernel module after i've upgraded to a pae kernel?
[19:08] <pppp> hi i vave questiona bout vi editor when i open this editor and press "i" i really inter insert mode bt it is not indicated
[19:08] <sebsebseb> andresj: oh  lost the person I was going to try and help, and why I started mentioning that
[19:08] <pppp> is it mnormal? on tutorials it seems in command line the INSERt
[19:08] <sebsebseb> andresj: well you may find with 10.04 and propritary Nivida driver,  that the boot up goes well rather odd
[19:08] <thune3> jaynon: you have external power source  connected?
[19:09] <jaynon> thune3: it runs off the usb's power
[19:09] <sapersi> my facebook is croce.newark im adding to my chat accounts it says Disconnected -authentication failed
[19:09] <andresj> sebsebseb: but not with the new, free, Nvidia driver?
[19:09] <thune3> jaynon: well, does it alsow allow you to plug it in with an extra adapter?
[19:09] <sebsebseb> andresj: indeed, but that one can't do OpenGL games or Compiz
