[09:17] <n2diy> My test box has grown up, and is ready to leave the nest, how do I secure it, before setting it free in the wild?
[09:17] <ActionParsnip> Hans_Henrik: ok, its ubuntu with LXDE as default, its like MoonOS but is officially recognised by Canonical
[09:17] <poyntz> ok, thats about my level of service today. i'm out kids. ciao!
[09:17] <poyntz> thanks for the help
[09:17] <powertool08> superpaco: Maybe its done in the same fashion as BT's method?
[09:17] <lengend> ok downloading now, thank you
[09:17] <ActionParsnip> manitu: lsmod     will show the loaded modules (drivers), you can also run:   dmesg | less    and read the bootup to see whats different
[09:17] <lengend> ohh btw the command is "sudo apt-get install audacious" right?
[09:17] <Tartaros> n2diy: wanna secure it, or set it free? can't have both :P
[09:17] <superpaco> no
[09:17] <suigeneris> how do I query the packages on my system?
[09:17] <ardchoille> lengend: yes
[09:18] <lengend> ok ty
[09:18] <superpaco> I check the directory where its the ISO and is not there
[09:18] <silv3r_m00n> how to run quanta plus on kde 4 ?
[09:18] <n2diy> Tartaros: I want to set it free, but remove my data first.
[09:18] <ActionParsnip> superpaco: you can make an identically sized partition to yours and then use partimage to spit the file onto the new system
[09:18] <superpaco> backtrack creates a directory with an ISO that has all your modules
[09:18] <ActionParsnip> superpaco: you can also edit the live CD to have only what you want on it
[09:18] <ardchoille> suigeneris: see my command line cheatsheet, I have a section there for package management: http://ardchoille42.blogspot.com/2009/08/command-line-cheatsheet.html
[09:19] <manitu> ActionParsnip, with knoppix? because ubuntu does not boot, already tried different kernel versions which still was in grub and the recovery.. couldn't boot it
[09:19] <superpaco> ActionParsnip, hoo that sound interesting
[09:19] <ActionParsnip> manitu: yes, they are both Linux so are technically the same OS
[09:19] <superpaco> how can I do that??/
[09:19] <superpaco> where is a tutorial?
[09:19] <superpaco> do you have a link??
[09:19] <ActionParsnip> superpaco: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
[09:19] <ailleantsian> is anyone able to help with a graphics problem in Karmic release
[09:19] <lengend> well, i am off to bed, thanks for the help
[09:19] <Tartaros> n2diy: afraid I don't really understand what you're talking about :)
[09:20] <lainy> how come the volume control in linux is master and pcm? is there a way to combine the two?
[09:20] <powertool08> superpaco: Also: http://maketecheasier.com/backup-ubuntu-with-remastersys/2008/12/22
[09:20] <meimei> Hi,guys!there is a question I must solve.I can read data from /dev/input/event5 under character mode,but I can't read anything under Xwindow.What's problem?Thanks.
[09:21] <Hans_Henrik> is there a way to chown a folder to several users?
[09:21] <powertool08> Hans_Henrik: Only one user can own it, the group and other permissions allow others to read/write to it.
[09:21] <ailleantsian> i have a nvida card, and never had a problem with the other releases, when i install the nvida restricted drives, and reboot i can no longer get gnome or kde desktops but get what I like just a terminal full screen
[09:22] <n2diy> Tartaros: I have a test box, and a mission critical box. I now have a new test box, so the old one is redundant, and should be disposed of. I want to donate the test box, but don't want my data exposed to the new owner of the test box.
[09:22] <powertool08> n2diy: Google DBAN
[09:23] <suigeneris> Package flashplayer-mozilla is not available, but is referred to by another package. <--- what does that mean?
[09:23] <hassanakevazir> ailleantsian, try sudo nvidia-xconfig , then restart
[09:23] <n2diy> powertool08: ok.
[09:23] <lainy> everytime i change my volume i have to fiddle between both master and pcm in alsamixer... is there an easier way, i.e., just one combined volume control?
[09:23] <Tartaros> n2diy: burn the disk then, that's the only secure way :P
[09:23] <ashiswin> umm
[09:23] <ashiswin> hello
[09:23] <powertool08> n2diy: I've also heard if you use dd to overwrite the entire thing with all 0's or all 1's its pretty much unrecoverable.
[09:23] <ActionParsnip> Hans_Henrik: you'll need to make a group, add them (and root) to the group, then use  chown :groupname_here folder
[09:23] <ashiswin> anyone who knows how to develop an operating system pleeeeeease pm me. very very urgent
[09:23] <ailleantsian> suigeneris , ihad that problem but in the software library in gnome in the other category there is a flash player there
[09:24] <ActionParsnip> Hans_Henrik: you can add -R to make it a recursive chown, and you'll need sudo if your user is not the owner
[09:24] <powertool08> lainy: Turn one all the way up and use the other to change the volume, save the setting with 'sudo alsactl store 0'
[09:24] <ailleantsian> hasanakevazir: so if i install the nvida drivers again and when i reboot get to that or should i do that before trying to install them again
[09:24] <Tartaros> ashiswin: you're urgently developing an OS? that's kind of funny. But good luck with it, especially here :)
[09:25] <ActionParsnip> ashiswin: i suggest you look into gentoo for that
[09:25] <ashiswin> Tartaros: im looking for womeone with experience
[09:25] <ashiswin> ActionParsnip: why?
[09:25] <n2diy> Tartaros: , powertool08, ok, but, I want to preserve the system, just get my stuff off it. My thoughts are to reinstall, but only reformat the /home partition.
[09:25] <hassanakevazir> ailleantsian, if your drivers are no installed do that. by the way whats your nvidia card?
[09:25] <suigeneris> !find flashplayer-mozilla
[09:25] <ActionParsnip> ashiswin: its a good place to start developing your own OS from
[09:26] <hassanakevazir> ailleantsian, if your drivers are right now installed do that. by the way whats your nvidia card?
[09:26] <ikonia> suigeneris: check out flashplugin-nonfree
[09:26] <ActionParsnip> !flash | suigeneris
[09:26] <powertool08> n2diy: Hmm, if you had put home on its own partition this would be easy...
[09:26] <ashiswin> ActionParsnip: Gentoo??? Cant i use ubuntu?
[09:26] <n2diy> powertool08: I did.
[09:26] <ActionParsnip> suigeneris: if you want the 10.1 flash and have 32bit ubuntu you can download the file to ~/.mozilla/plugins
[09:27] <ActionParsnip> ashiswin: sure, you'll be using apt-build though. Depends what your perception of "develop" is
[09:27] <Tartaros> ashiswin: of course you can use ubuntu. You didn't say what you need to do so far
[09:27] <ActionParsnip> ashiswin: if you mean "install" then download the desktop ISO, MD5 test it, burn it and boot to it
[09:27] <ailleantsian> hassanakevazir: NVIDIA GeForce Go 6600
[09:28] <powertool08> n2diy: Ok, so just boot from a live cd, mkfs <preferred filesystem> on the home partition, mount it and create needed directories, restart. It will lose all user specific settings, but your info will be gone.
[09:28] <om26er> i change the exorg for custom resolution but has no effect. i can get 1368*768 but not 1280*1024
[09:28] <hassanakevazir> he is spamming around asking how to develop an OS, i call troll ...
[09:28] <om26er> i am using nvidia driver 185
[09:28] <ashiswin> Tartaros, ActionParsnip: i mean creating a bootloader and kernel and making the bootloader call the kernel
[09:29] <suigeneris> ActionParsnip, there's no ~/.mozilla/plugins. should I mkdir?
[09:29] <ActionParsnip> suigeneris: indeed
[09:29] <Tartaros> ashiswin: "creating" as in programming?
[09:29] <ashiswin> Tartaros: yea
[09:29] <hassanakevazir> ailleantsian, ok, then install the restricted drivers, run sudo nvidia-xconfig and restart
[09:29] <Tartaros> ashiswin: well, why?
[09:29] <n2diy> powertool08: umm, ok. That seems like work! Wouldn't reformatting /home do the trick?
[09:30] <ashiswin> Tartaros: I got plans, why dont u pm me
[09:30] <Tartaros> ashiswin: why would I? :)
[09:30] <powertool08> n2diy: If you have some extra space on the drive, make a new partition, mount it in place of the current /home, once happy, delete the other partition and add the freed up space to the new /home partition.
[09:31] <ashiswin> Tartaros: Well, u seem to know OS dev
[09:31] <ardchoille> !ot
[09:31] <powertool08> n2diy: That's what I said to do, but I don't think you can do it while running the system you are changing, hence the live cd.
[09:31] <ailleantsian> hassanakevazir: I run that command and get command not found
[09:31] <n2diy> powertool08: this is my test box, everything is backed up already. (knock on wood)
[09:31] <powertool08> n2diy: Also, the command mkfs is used to format.
[09:31] <Tartaros> ashiswin: i do? wonderful news. Anyway as I said, good luck with that here... this is support channel for ubuntu, which is an already established OS.
[09:32] <ashiswin> lol, k
[09:32] <ActionParsnip> suigeneris: mkdir ~/.mozilla/plugins; cd ~/.mozilla/plugins; wget http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/flashplayer10_1_p1_linux_111709.tar.gz; tar zxvf ./flashplayer10_1_p1_linux_111709.tar.gz; mv ./install_flash_player_10_linux/libflashplayer.so .; rm -rf ./install_flash_player_10_linux/; rm ./ flashplayer10_1_p1_linux_111709.tar.gz
[09:32] <n2diy> powertool08: I have access to the box via ssh, on the soho lan.
[09:32] <suigeneris> thank you ActionParsnip
[09:32] <Parsi> what's different between ubuntu 32-bit and 64-bit?
[09:32] <ActionParsnip> suigeneris: you should then remove any flashplugin packages you have installed like flashplugin-installer or flashplugin-nonfree
[09:33] <Parsi> does 64-bit run faster?
[09:33] <ActionParsnip> suigeneris: as well as any gnash and swfdec packages too
[09:33] <ActionParsnip> Parsi: in some situations yes, as just a desktop, no
[09:33] <alankila> Parsi: depends on application. 64-bit systems have a nasty tendency to allocate 8 bytes per pointer, which can be a real memory drain.
[09:34] <Parsi> ActionParsnip: what about converting video files ?
[09:34] <powertool08> n2diy: I don't know for sure if you can reformat home on a live system, I'd think you'd have to be at init 3 (single user mode) at least, but best to do it from a live cd.
[09:34] <ActionParsnip> Parsi: thats where it is faster, data translations are faster
[09:34] <alankila> most applications do not actually need the memory available from this wide pointer, so it is wasted memory.
[09:34] <Parsi> ActionParsnip: is there any converter for ubuntu that supports 64-bit?
[09:34] <n2diy> powertool08: roger that, thanks.
[09:34] <ActionParsnip> alankila: unused ram in linux is used as disk cache to make hdd access faster, so is in no way wasted
[09:34] <hassanakevazir> ailleantsian, then uninstall the restricted drivers, and either use "envyng-gtk" to install your nvidia drivers, then run the command, or use a ppa repository, I use https://launchpad.net/~nvidia-vdpau/+archive/ppa
[09:35] <ailleantsian> hassanakevazir: I opened the termninal again and it worked however i got this : Vailidation Error, Data incomplete in file /ect/11/xor.conf uneined device "(null)" referenced by screen
[09:35] <alankila> ActionParsnip: that in no way addressed what I said.
[09:35] <ActionParsnip> Parsi: all the ones on the repos will be 64bit if your install is 64bit
[09:35] <ailleantsian> " default Screen "
[09:35] <powertool08> n2diy: np, good luck. Time for me to go to bed.
[09:35] <hassanakevazir> xor.conf??
[09:35] <alankila> I'm saying that 64-bit java uses 2x the memory of 32-bit java, for instance. If your workload is pointer heavy, 8 bytes per pointer is a real drag.
[09:35] <Parsi> ActionParsnip: wow, thanks
[09:35] <ailleantsian> sorry my keyboard is a bit broke and it woulnt let me copy and past
[09:36] <n2diy> powertool08: 10-4 on sack time, me too, 73
[09:36] <ailleantsian> its Xorg.confi
[09:36] <alankila> (which is why they came up with -XX:UseCompressedOops for Java, to use 32-bit pointers even on 64-bit VM, so this problem is gone.)
[09:36] <ActionParsnip> Parsi: yeah its pretty sweet, you also need it to address more than 3Gb RAM (unles you install the server kernel which has PAE)
[09:36] <ailleantsian> trys to copy and past again :
[09:36] <ailleantsian> VALIDATION ERROR: Data incomplete in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
[09:36] <ailleantsian>                   Undefined Device "(null)" referenced by Screen "Default
[09:36] <ailleantsian>                   Screen".
[09:36] <alankila> otherwise I haven't been able to identify any significant performance improvements from running 64-bit or 32-bit. If you don't need > 2 GB of memory, I don't think it matters to go for 64-bit.
[09:37] <n2diy> 4g?
[09:37] <Parsi> ActionParsnip: unfortunately my mainboard does not support more than 2GB of RAM
[09:37] <alankila> there may be some benefit, but these are generally sucked away by the loss of wide pointers or lower support in applications like java, mono or firefox
[09:37] <alankila> err... by the loss implied by wide pointers...
[09:37] <theneoindian> hi , i installed db2 . but typing ./db2cc gives error : db2javit: not found
[09:37] <ActionParsnip> Parsi: if you are changing file formats like video encoding, go 64bit. my desktop board only supports 2Gb too
[09:38] <theshadowx> hi guys
[09:38] <n2diy> theneoindian:
[09:38] <theshadowx> i have a big problem
[09:38] <n2diy> theneoindian: "sudo updatebd?
[09:38] <Parsi> ActionParsnip: yes,
[09:38] <Parsi> i do
[09:38] <theneoindian> what is uupdatebd
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> Parsi: then 64bit will be a little better under those apps, the rest will rn as fast as the 32bit
[09:39] <theshadowx> i upgraded ubunto from 9.04 --> 9.10 but i can't boot with kernel  2.6.31-14 but with 2.6.30 i can
[09:39] <n2diy> theneoindian: sorry, it should be "sudo updatedb", which updates your files.
[09:39] <alankila> well firefox under 64-bit sucks at least
[09:39] <alankila> firefox has javascript jit only for 32-bit
[09:40] <Parsi> ActionParsnip: in windows, usually 32-bit is faster than 64-bit
[09:40] <Parsi> alankila: have you any idea about firefox 64-bit?
[09:40] <axeeffect> is there a issue with DSL in karmic....i cant connect to my net ...it though use to work in 9.04
[09:40] <ActionParsnip> Parsi: most apps arent 64it in windows yet
[09:40] <hullo> hello, how does vino go about automatically configuring the network to accept connections in ubuntu 9.10?
[09:40] <alankila> Parsi: yes, I run it, and it goes with JIT disabled because people don't still support 64-bit properly.
[09:40] <suigeneris> ActionParsnip, the same thing
[09:40] <hassanakevazir> ailleantsian, never had that error before, no idea :/
[09:40] <ricree> I've been having a problem with sound since I upgraded to 9.10.   Certain programs (mostly mp3 players) have a bad echoing effect, although other programs (VLC, Flash player) work fine.  Most guides I found online only deal with issues that effect the entire system.  Any suggestions on how to fix this?
[09:41] <Klavmanian> axeeffect: are you connecting directly to your dsl modem?
[09:41] <ronald_> hello there!what kind of linux that match for gateway M520? because i use ubuntu the problem is they have no audio sound.,
[09:41] <theneoindian> n2diy,  is there any other gui tool available other than control center ?
[09:41] <ActionParsnip> suigeneris: weird, have you tried clearing your cache? Have you tried a different browser
[09:41] <axeeffect> @Klav...directly means?
[09:42] <dutchbuntu> Programs like Empathy, Evolution and XChat stop functioning when I start a VPN connection. The only program that still had internet access is Firefox. I am using OpenDNS. I have just tried the solution to change the IPv4 settings of the VPN connection: I changed the Method to 'Automatic (VPN) addresses only' and put OpenDNS's nameservers. This doesn't help me. Any suggestions?
[09:42] <fcuk112> has anyone remapped the ctrl-A," keybinding in screen to something else?
[09:42] <suigeneris> ActionParsnip, yesterday I've tried that
[09:42] <ailleantsian> hassanakevazir: thanks for your help I appricate it, I will google and see if anything comes up now
[09:42] <n2diy> theneoindian: umm, not sure? I can work on the CLI.
[09:42] <ActionParsnip> dutchbuntu: do other browsers work?
[09:43] <axeeffect> i have a dsl modem...i connect using ethernet...my dhcp works as jus connecting to auto eth0 does the job...but for dsl connection it keep connecting nothin happens...and i need to change ip for jdownloader
[09:43] <dutchbuntu> ActionParsnip, dunno, I only have FF. Just a sec, I will try.
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> dutchbuntu: does your VPN use a different subnet to your LAN connection?
[09:43] <suigeneris> ActionParsnip, but when I look into about:plugins, it says libflashplayer.so version 10.0 is activated too. could 10.0 be interfering with 10.1?
[09:43] <theneoindian> n2diy, how can i select a database from cli ?
[09:44] <ActionParsnip> dutchbuntu: if both are on 192.168.0.x   yuo wont get a connection as their is no differentiation between the vpn and the lan
[09:44] <zsolt> hi there!I'm so sad,i would like to use amsn with audio/video,but can't figure out how to install fairsight2
[09:44] <n2diy> theneoindian: umm, what is the name of the DB?
[09:44] <Klavmanian> axeeffect: i do not use dsl. but as i understand it this problem can be circumvented by using a nat device of some sort (i.e. wrt54g or other routing appliance)
[09:44] <axeeffect> @klav... :(
[09:44] <ActionParsnip> suigeneris: yes, you need to remove flashplugin-nonfree flashplugin-installer
[09:44] <theneoindian> n2diy,  when i give list active databases , it doesn't show the created database
[09:44] <zsolt> i tried everything and can't understand,why it is so complicated
[09:44] <hwilde> amsn?
[09:44] <zsolt> yes
[09:45] <ActionParsnip> suigeneris: and any other flash packages, you also need to restart your browser to load the new plugins
[09:45] <theneoindian> n2diy,  db name is test
[09:45] <n2diy> theneoindian: ok, I think your over my head?
[09:45] <Parsi> does MONO supports all .net namespaces?
[09:46] <Andorin> I have a question. I'm thinking of getting an external USB hard drive. Do those work okay in Linux? Can I access files on them easily just like an iPod or flash drive or other USB device?
[09:46] <hwilde> zsolt, did you install gstreamer0.10-plugins-farsight
[09:46] <zsolt> i tried to compile fairsight2,but without any succes:(
[09:46] <zsolt> yes
[09:46] <zsolt> everything
[09:46] <hwilde> Andorin, most of them work fine
[09:46] <hwilde> zsolt, so do you get an error or what?
[09:46] <axeeffect> is there any bug in network manger or patch...for dsl connection ....which used to work in 9.04 but dowsnt in 9.1
[09:46] <Andorin> hwilde: Thanks.
[09:46] <zsolt> amsn didn't recognize fairsight2
[09:47] <hwilde> it is called farsight, not fair
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> suigeneris: if you want you can use http://pastebin.com   and give the output of:   dpkg -l |grep flash; dpkg -l |grep gnash; dpkg -l |grep swf
[09:47] <theneoindian> n2diy,  it's de first time i'm using db2 and i'm really fed up with this .. if only i had the control center , i could've done smthng
[09:47] <strongsoul> help | when i do a apt-get upgrade i get this error http://pastebin.com/m3193b23c
[09:47] <kom9> zzzzzz
[09:47] <zsolt> and I can't find any .deb package for fairsight2
[09:47] <strongsoul> whats the problem ?
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> axeeffect: theres a network manager daily build repo
[09:47] <soro> Hi, i have serious problem, any help will be appreciated. i messed up my karmic distro. i removed gtk -which was really a bad idea :(- and almost every packages on my system has been removed. Is there a way to reset my system to karmic defaults from the console?
[09:48] <axeeffect> is dsl anything to do with my kernel...i changed my menu.lst kenel ...using latest kernel was giving some flickers in screen...the bars used in splash screen is still not goin awa from screen...but its does come if i use old ver kernel
[09:48] <zsolt> i don't want to harm my clean installed Os
[09:48] <hwilde> soro, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[09:48] <suigeneris> ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/f2b6972c7
[09:48] <n2diy> theneoindian: ok, roger that. It is a long road, but a rewarding one. All I want to do is sell my test box, but not give the new owner any of my info.
[09:48] <alankila> soro: "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop"
[09:48] <strongsoul> can somebody help me ?
[09:48] <strongsoul> http://pastebin.com/m3193b23c
[09:49] <suigeneris> it still sees only 10.0
[09:49] <noFace> hey hey, I've got a studio xps 13, I've been running ubuntu on it for a fair while, and the nvidia softare for multi monitor has worked fine for VGA out, but I've just tried HDMI and it can't detect the second display at all
[09:49] <dutchbuntu> ActionParsnip, Epiphany works
[09:49] <dutchbuntu> ActionParsnip, Epiphany works when VPN is active
[09:49] <soro> hwilde, alankila: thanks!
[09:49] <suigeneris> ActionParsnip, it still sees only 10.0
[09:49] <soro> will try
[09:49] <ActionParsnip> suigeneris: sudo apt-get --purge remove libswfdec-0.8-0 swfdec-gnome
[09:49] <sivang> anybody know if easy_install has a package?
[09:49] <zsolt> amsn is the only solution to me
[09:49] <sivang> I could not find it using apt-cache
[09:50] <dutchbuntu> ActionParsnip, about the subnet, can I pastebin the output of ifconfig (with and without VPN)? Does that give the info?
[09:50] <ActionParsnip> dutchbuntu: then its a settings problem in firefox, have you tried renaming ~/.mozilla then rerunning the browser?
[09:50] <ubuntu-liveuser> When I boot Ubuntu, I get all kinds of fundamental errors like not being able to mount the stuff in fstab etc.
[09:50] <ActionParsnip> dutchbuntu: as long as they are different its fine, and empathy works which means the logic is ok
[09:50] <ubuntu-liveuser> I can mount everything fine from the 9.10 live cd.
[09:50] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu-liveuser: did you MD5 test the ISO, did you run the CD verifier?
[09:50] <ubuntu-liveuser> Question: how can I repair the operating system on the harddrive?
[09:50] <Jetsetlemming> How do I change the settings for Grub so it pops up a list of OS's every time I turn on my computer? I have Ubuntu 9.10 and WinXP installed but Grub just auto-boots Ubuntu
[09:50] <dutchbuntu> ActionParsnip, no FF is not the problem. FF still has access. Evolution, Empathy, XChat don't.
[09:51] <ubuntu-liveuser> ActionParsnip: I am running from the CD. I did the upgrade via the network.
[09:51] <CptnAwesome> hi folks, i've just setup a new xubuntu box to test some scripts on, but i would like to setup ssh access to it, i've done "ssh <IP_ADDRESS>" on my laptop, but i get "Connection Refused"
[09:51] <ubuntu-liveuser> ActionParsnip: but I did so on the advice on someone in this channel. I believe the advice was wrong.
[09:51] <suigeneris> Jetsetlemming, increase the time
[09:51] <Jetsetlemming> suigeneris: and how do I do that?
[09:51] <ubuntu-liveuser> ActionParsnip: I basically did sudo apt-get dist-upgrade with only karmic repositories.
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu-liveuser: ok cool, you can chroot to the installed system, or simply edit the files on the partition
[09:52] <n2diy> CptnAwesome: Does the error message ID the offending file?
[09:52] <ubuntu-liveuser> ActionParsnip: yes, I know that procedure.
[09:52] <Jetsetlemming> And I didn't even see a menu at all, I was watching when it loaded. It went straight from the Bios splash screen to the Ubuntu loading logo
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu-liveuser: that isnt advised, you should use update manager
[09:52] <suigeneris> Jetsetlemming, timeout		x
[09:52] <axeeffect> Jetsetlemming change goto terminal and run sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:52] <ubuntu-liveuser> ActionParsnip: I know, but update manager doesn't work with a proxy.
[09:53] <ubuntu-liveuser> ActionParsnip: the problem basically is: what do I need to install to get the system in the same state as I would get on the LiveCD?
[09:53] <axeeffect> read the comment in the file
[09:53] <Jetsetlemming> axeeffect: that file is blank
[09:53] <CptnAwesome> "zach@zf-home:~$ ssh <IP_ADDRESS>"     "ssh: connect to host <IP_ADDRESS> port 22: Connection refused"
[09:53] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu-liveuser: then use the alternate CD, there is an update script tere which wil upgrade yo gracefully, editting the sources file is not advised and will cause issues
[09:53] <CptnAwesome> n2diy, i just need to know how to enable SSH on the machine =)
[09:53] <ubuntu-liveuser> ActionParsnip: can't I just do it via the network from this livecd?
[09:53] <axeeffect> ubotto
[09:54] <axeeffect> !ubotto
[09:54] <n2diy> CptnAwesome: What does "ssh -v" tell you?
[09:54] <sivang> ah darn
[09:54] <sivang> it's python-setuptools :)
[09:54] <axeeffect> !ubotto "menu.lst"
[09:54] <ubuntu-liveuser> ActionParsnip: something like chroot /media/<foo> sudo apt-<something>?
[09:54] <ActionParsnip> dutchbuntu: you could set a route command to tell the system to route any connections heading for the IP of your favourite irc server to use the LAN interface rather than the VPN
[09:54] <axeeffect> !ubotto menu.lst
[09:54] <ActionParsnip> dutchbuntu: not entirely graceful but wil wok
[09:54] <axeeffect> !ubotto grub
[09:54] <ActionParsnip> axeeffect: you dont need to add !ubottu
[09:55] <ActionParsnip> axeeffect: use   !grub  etc
[09:55] <roronoa> !grub | axeeffect
[09:55] <dutchbuntu> ActionParsnip, that won't help Evolution, I guess...
[09:55] <axeeffect> :)
[09:55] <CptnAwesome> n2diy, what do you want to know, the version is "OpenSSH_5.1p1 Debian-5ubuntu1, OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007"
[09:55] <Jetsetlemming> !grub2
[09:55] <axeeffect> !menu.lst
[09:56] <axeeffect> !menu.list
[09:56] <Jetsetlemming> (I'm running Karmic)
[09:56] <Antagonist> Hmm, does Ubuntu have any support for the 3 partition system?  /boot, pagefile and /?
[09:56] <roronoa> axeeffect please use /msg ubottu ! your query to experiment the bot
[09:56] <deepsight> hello, i need some help troubleshooting an error with opengl. i get Major opcode of failed request:  135 (GLX). i have an intel graphics card. when i install xorg-driver-fglrx everything works until next reboot (weird)
[09:57] <ActionParsnip> dutchbuntu: you could tell the routing to push all requests for the vpn address down the vpn and the rest down the lan, you are going to have to shape the traffic a little, seems its not auto negotiating
[09:57] <n2diy> CptnAwesome: just wanted to make sure it was installed.
[09:57] <SandGorgon> Antagonist, pagefile is simply swap partition ... so I suppose yes
[09:57] <ubuntu-liveuser> ActionParsnip: so, is there a way to do it via the network?
[09:57] <Jetsetlemming> Ah, I see grub2 has moved from menu.lst to grub.cfg
[09:57] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu-liveuser: not sure, i dont use a proxy
[09:57] <ActionParsnip> !grub2 | Jetsetlemming
[09:58] <Jetsetlemming> ActionParsnip: I already am reading that
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> Jetsetlemming: don't edit grub.cfg  it is generatedby scripts so changes will be lost next kernel install
[09:58] <axeeffect> @action...how to fix dsl connection problem
[09:58] <Jetsetlemming> ActionParsnip: So how do I make Grub2 show a menu every time I turn on the computer, then? Because it still automatically loads ubuntu. I'm trying to dual boot with xp.
[09:58] <axeeffect> its a pppoe
[09:58] <zsolt> how can I install fairsight2?it is not in the synaptic,I use Carmic
[09:59] <JordanC> Hey there folks. Does anyone know how I would be able to install MonoDevelop with Sqlite/MySQL/etc support on Karmic? I'm missing Mono.Data assembly at the moment. Can I do this using the package manager, or do I need to manually compile the app?
[09:59] <ActionParsnip> Jetsetlemming: you need to add an extra script / entry to grub2's config   then run: sudo update-grub   and it will be added. I don't use windows so have no experience of this
[09:59] <Antagonist> By default, if Ubuntu has its own hdd, how many partitions does it create? I'm still busy downloading so unable to test
[09:59] <ActionParsnip> suigeneris: you can copy the .so to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
[10:00] <axeeffect> @Anta...only one / swap aprtition
[10:00] <roronoa> zsolt try getting it from terminal
[10:01] <chelz> any word on what's up with packages.ubuntu.com?
[10:01] <zsolt> how may I get it from terminal?
[10:01] <CptnAwesome> "sudo apt-get install openssh-server" did the trick
[10:01] <yoshx> hello
[10:01] <Antagonist> I would like to run Ubuntu and Gentoo on same hdd.  Any specific steps I should take to make sure they play well together?
[10:01] <ActionParsnip> suigeneris: sudo cp ~/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
[10:01] <roronoa> zsolt try sudo apt-get fairsight2
[10:02] <axeeffect> how to renew dhcp ip address...for an auto eth0 connection
[10:02] <dutchbuntu> ActionParsnip, that was a good tip and easier to realize then you thought. Edit VPN Connection -> IPv4 Setttings -> Routes -> Check 'Use this connection only for resources on its network'. Does exactly what you described.
[10:02] <JordanC> cheiz: Yeah, seems down
[10:02] <roronoa> zsolt wait before that sudo apt-get update
[10:02] <axeeffect> i tried dhclient -r but does work
[10:02] <n2diy> ActionParsnip: what was the last version of Windows did you use, or, have you never used Windows?
[10:03] <mrec> does anyone use ubuntu karmic? can someone load the uinput kernel module (sudo modprobe uinput) and check if /dev/uinput  or /dev/input/uinput gets created?
[10:03] <zsolt> system can't recognize it:(
[10:03] <roronoa> zsolt where did u find fairsight2?
[10:03] <axeeffect> how to renew ip for a dhcp ehternet connection
[10:04] <zsolt> nowhere in the package manager
[10:04] <CptnAwesome> ok, can anyone suggest a way to remote desktop to this new xubuntu machine?
[10:04] <roronoa> zsolt i mean how did u know about fairsight2?
[10:05] <zsolt> amsn told me,that faisight2 is needed to make videocalling
[10:05] <roronoa> zsolt try this article http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1227013
[10:05] <axeeffect>  ifconfig eht0 down ....then ifconfig eth0 up does connection my eth0 connection back
[10:05] <zsolt> thank you
[10:05] <Antagonist> Okay, maybe some background.  I have a 500GB HDD dedicated to Vista(soon formatted and Win7), 1500GB NTFS data HDD, and a 80GB space HDD.  That 80GB I would like to partition between Gentoo and Ubuntu.  I envision this as partitioning it into 4 parts, /boot, swap partition, (both those shared between both linuxes), and a / for each.  What is the best installation procedure and/or order to install all this in?
[10:05] <kickar> hey guys how do i install host, nslookup, dig and so on ?
[10:05] <axeeffect> iwant to change ip
[10:06] <roronoa> zsolt and you might want to check this too https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/farsight2
[10:06] <MenZa> Antagonist: Might want to throw in a shared /home directory if you want to share configs and such between them, too.
[10:06] <ubuntu-liveuser> Is there a way in which I can use the apt-get from the live-cd to upgrade the system on the harddrive?
[10:06] <Antagonist> MenZa: Good idea, not something I considered but makes sense.  I'm adverse to sharing something like /usr tho due to linux differences
[10:07] <Garbin> How can I paste image in this channel?
[10:07] <MenZa> Oh yes, don't do that, Antagonist
[10:07] <MenZa> !paste | Garbin
[10:07] <Bacta> join us now and share the software
[10:07] <mara> scusate ubuntu ita?

[10:07] <MenZa> Bacta: Please stop that.
[10:07] <mara> grazie
[10:07] <Garbin> ubottu, thank you!
[10:07] <Antagonist> Will the alternate install CD allow me to install ubuntu this way?
[10:08] <MenZa> Antagonist: It will do, yes.
[10:08] <axeeffect> @anta ...alternalte is capable of upgarding
[10:08] <Antagonist> Okay, I'll keep looking for documentation... I was fearing that it might suffer from 'user-friendliness'
[10:08] <axeeffect> use a partiton manager
[10:08] <dutchbuntu> ActionParsnip, that was a good tip and easier to realize then you thought. Edit VPN Connection -> IPv4 Setttings -> Routes -> Check 'Use this connection only for resources on its network'. Does exactly what you described.
[10:09] <axeeffect> gparted live cd
[10:09] <axeeffect> resize partiton
[10:09] <Antagonist> axeeffect: Upgrading?  HDD is clean atm
[10:10] <zsolt> make  clean  No rule to make target `clean'.  Stop.
[10:10] <zsolt> this is the error message
[10:10] <axeeffect> ok..i thought u had 9.04
[10:10] <axeeffect> wat is ur ram size
[10:10] <axeeffect> i think u dont need a swap
[10:10] <n2diy> zsolt: "sudo make clean" ?
[10:11] <Antagonist> axeeffect: 4GB
[10:11] <ActionParsnip> dutchbuntu: sweet
[10:11] <axeeffect> try 64 bit buntu then
[10:11] <Antagonist> This is a bioinformatics dev machine, I will need swap space.
[10:11] <zsolt> No rule to make target `clean'
[10:11] <llutz> n2diy: if Makefile hasn't defined "clean" even sudo wouldn't make any difference
[10:12] <axeeffect> u wont be able to use whole of 4gb in 32bit ubuntu
[10:12] <Antagonist> I downloaded the 64-bit one, it didn't see my HDD due to it at some point in its life having belonged to a RAID.  Busy downloading the 64-bit alternate
[10:12] <Antagonist> And yes, planning on 64-bit.  Running 64-bit windows as well.  I have a quad core dammit, gonna use it as it was meant to
[10:12] <llutz> Antagonist: you can use those 4GB when using server-kernel (pae)
[10:12] <nickapalooza> i'm planning to get 2x1tb in raid 5
[10:13] <axeeffect> cpu 64bit?
[10:13] <nickapalooza> yep
[10:13] <Antagonist> llutz: I don't understand?
[10:13] <inivex> nickapalooza, you need 3 disks to do raid 5....?
[10:13] <nickapalooza> are you sure?
[10:13] <inivex> mhm
[10:13] <llutz> Antagonist: if you use 32Bit with server-kernel, you can use all those 4GB. its a PAE kernel
[10:14] <llutz> Antagonist: just install 32bit, change kernel after that
[10:14] <Antagonist> Oh right, well, screw 32-bit tbh
[10:14] <axeeffect> anta..wats the proci
[10:14] <axeeffect> amd?
[10:15] <mesaGL> i'm thinking of giving my users 10.04 lts. will it be ready in time ? and will it work ?
[10:15] <Antagonist> Only problem I've had with 64-bit ever have been old printer drivers.  But then again to be fair, I have problems with those under 32-bit
[10:15] <Antagonist> axeeffect: Intel Core2 Quad Q6600
[10:15] <inivex> Antagonist: i'm jealous.....
[10:15] <axeeffect> ya even my cybershot driver doesn work in 64bit :p
[10:16] <Antagonist> inivex: Its 2 year old tech.
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> mesaGL: its not out yet, and i wouldn't touch it
[10:17] <Antagonist> btw, are there problem nvidia linux drivers for GTX260?  Even if its crappy binary ones
[10:17] <Antagonist> *proper
[10:17] <JediMaster> Antagonist, I'm using GTX260 in ubuntu without any problems using the nvidia binary drivers
[10:18] <Antagonist> JediMaster: Thanks
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> Antagonist: you can add the nvidia dev repo and use the 190 driver
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> Antagonist: https://launchpad.net/~nvidia-vdpau/+archive/ppa
[10:19] <mesaGL> ActionParsnip: i know it's not out yet. what i'm asking is : will it be usable when it does come out ?
[10:19] <inivex> hey, that's cool, i didn't know nvidia had a repo
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> mesaGL: when its released, absolutely
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> Antagonist: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-nvidia-190-25-beta-drivers-in-ubuntu-jauntyintrepidhardy.html   here is a guide to help you install after adding the repo
[10:20] <mesaGL> absolutely. i see. and does karmic "absolutely" work too ?
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> mesaGL: its released so yes, user individual experiences may be different but essentially, yes
[10:21] <llutz> mesaGL: define "absolutely"
[10:21] <Garbin> Could anyone help me? My java-based app has some problem, problem details on http://imagebin.org/72299
[10:22] <whammo> does anybody know how to add audio-rt to pam?
[10:22] <JediMaster> I've got several virtual Ubuntu servers running on Xen hypervisor in a datacenter in the UK, yesterday the entire DC was DDOS in a huge attack and it took everything down for 2.5 hours. I'm trying to figure out how to fail over to a different data center. The only thing I can think of so far is to clone the site/database on to another machine in a different DC, and use it as secondary DNS, then check the site is up with scripts and cha
[10:22] <JediMaster> nge the DNS to point to the second DC should it go down (with low TTL). Any better ideas?
[10:24] <JediMaster> don't want to have a single point of failure, so something like a reverse proxy is out of the question as it is the single point.
[10:24] <ActionParsnip> JediMaster: you'd need a gateway to failover between the 2 systems
[10:24] <om26er> i cannot set custom resolution in ubuntu9.10 using nvidia and the driver version 185
[10:24] <JediMaster> ActionParsnip, single point of failure?
[10:24] <kostkon> Garbin, hmm. what jvm do u use?
[10:24] <ActionParsnip> JediMaster: could have 2, there will have to be a single point at some point, the IP of the whole thing
[10:25] <Garbin> kostkon, java-6-sum
[10:25] <kostkon> Garbin, aha ok
[10:25] <JediMaster> ActionParsnip, at least with my DNS based idea the only problem is a small downtime with the DNS propagation with the low TTL
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> JediMaster: i guess
[10:26] <laur> A little help please?  I want to install windows on partition where i have installed Ubuntu but the windows tell me the partition is not for windows... and partiton is NTFS what should i do ?
[10:26] <ActionParsnip> om26er: if you run nvidia-settings   are their resolutions listed?
[10:26] <JediMaster> how do big companies get past this issue, Google  for instance must be attacked all the time but they transparently fail over to different networks without issue (I'm sure mega$$$ helps)
[10:27] <kostkon> Garbin, font prob maybe? do you have the "sun-java-6-fonts" installed?
[10:27] <kostkon> !info sun-java-6-fonts
[10:27] <om26er> ActionParsnip, 1280*1024 is not availble there but 1378*768 is available. my lcd is 5:4
[10:27] <Garbin> I check it now
[10:27] <laur> is necessary to format the entire HDD ?
[10:27] <kostkon> oh right. not in karmic. hmm
[10:27] <ActionParsnip> om26er: ok then close the app and run: gksudo nvidia-settings
[10:27] <kostkon> !info sun-java6-fonts
[10:28] <kostkon> yeah
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> om26er: set the resolution to something and click, write settings to X config file
[10:28] <om26er> ActionParsnip, ok
[10:28] <JediMaster> laur, you could delete the NTFS partition then try getting windows to setup a new partition there
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> om26er: you can then run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf    and edit te res to what you wish
[10:28] <laur> yah i try this but the win installer tell me is not a valid windows partition...
[10:28] <laur> and i formated with windows in install mode
[10:29] <fabietto^> Hi everybody! is there any possibility for make the scroll of a page (for example in firefox) with the double click on the touch pad?
[10:30] <Garbin> kostkon, I've installed it just now, but the problem still here.
[10:30] <kostkon> Garbin, :(
[10:31] <Garbin> wait, I do a double check for the jvm version.
[10:31] <om26er> ActionParsnip, ok i set it to 1280*1024 in the xorg.conf and then rebooted but still no change
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> om26er: did you change the xorg.conf file before rebooting?
[10:31] <laur> i think i will delete all partiton.... :|
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> om26er: hmm weird
[10:31] <om26er> ActionParsnip, yes i did
[10:32] <ActionParsnip> om26er: can you pastebin your xorg.conf file
[10:32] <zsolt> my problem solved with an svn repo

[10:39] <l43a2> use VLC
[10:39] <l43a2> it should play fine in that
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> Skunk8709: then websearch the make/model of the device you are using
[10:40] <laur> @ same with SMpalyer | VLC | MPlayer

[10:41] <ricree> kostkon: so far, I've noticed the problem with rhythmbox, banshee, and pidgin.  Totem, VLC, and flash video sound all seem to work fine
[10:41] <kostkon> ricree, :/
[10:41] <kostkon> ricree, ok. hmm
[10:41] <ricree> kostkon:   Also, mp3s work fine on VLC, so I don't think it's a codec issue
[10:41] <kostkon> ricree, it's not, yeah
[10:41] <wers> how do i make evolution download read messages? I have a couple of messages in my corporate email. the thing is, i cant access them on evolution because they're marked as read on outlook
[10:42] <kostkon> ricree, hmm
[10:42] <Fenrir_> I have problems with my pppoe connection in ubuntu 9.10
[10:42] <kostkon> ricree, it's an upgrade, so
[10:42] <ricree> kostkon:  My best guess was a library issue somewhere since it's limited to certain programs, but I'm not sure how to track it down past that
[10:42] <kostkon> ricree, first thing you could try is to delete the .pulse folder in your home, if there is one, then logout and login again
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> ricree: killall pulseaudio; rm -rf ~/.pulse*    then reboot
[10:44] <laur> oke how install bin files ?
[10:44] <ActionParsnip> laur: chmod +x file; ./file
[10:44] <SquarePi> somthing is wrong with Ubuntu Karmic. I can play movies, including full HD movies, on windows smoothly but not on Ubuntu. :-(
[10:44] <simulation> hello guys
[10:45] <simulation> how can i use $_GET variables in theme :S
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> SquarePi: have you ran: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[10:45] <simulation> i cant access the $_GET
[10:45] <ricree> I deleted the .pulse folder and logged out and in.  No difference
[10:45] <kostkon> ricree, hmm ok
[10:45] <simulation> sorry wrong chan :)
[10:45] <SquarePi> ActionParsnip, no, I am playing my videos using vlc but those are just codecs
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> SquarePi: yes, you will need codecs to play certain files
[10:46] <kostkon> ricree, ah, it could be a gstreamer related prob
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> SquarePi: if you don't have codecs, you cant play the file
[10:46] <SquarePi> ActionParsnip, if I don't have the codecs, they won't play at all. since I can play them I have the codecs
[10:46] <ricree> kostkon:  any suggestions on how to start checking whether it is?
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> SquarePi: have you installed and configured video drivers?
[10:47] <RiotingPacifist> which lame -V setting is about 96kbs? or where can i look up this sort of data, it's not in the man
[10:47] <SquarePi> ActionParsnip, yes, nvidia driver
[10:47] <kostkon> ricree, first of all, try going to pidgin's sound prefs and check which driver is selected.
[10:47] <ActionParsnip> SquarePi: is it the same in other media players, like mplayer?
[10:47] <SquarePi> haven't tried mplayer yet
[10:48] <ricree> kostkon: automatic
[10:48] <kostkon> ricree, what other options do you have?
[10:48] <ActionParsnip> SquarePi: you could also try adding the medibuntu repo and installing w32codecs (or w64codecs if you re using 64bit ubuntu)
[10:48] <Andorin> I'm trying to manually mount my flash drive because Ubuntu doesn't want to auto-mount it anymore... when I type "sudo mount /dev/sdf /mount/point" it tells me I have to specify a file system type. What's the syntax?
[10:48] <ActionParsnip> SquarePi: may be an issue with vlc, if it works in other players then its a vlc issue
[10:48] <ricree> kostkon: ESD, ALSA, Command
[10:49] <kostkon> ricree, ok. change it to alsa
[10:50] <kostkon> packages.ubuntu.com is down :S
[10:50] <ricree> kostkon:  Hmm... it seems to be working now
[10:50] <kostkon> ricree, pidgin's sound?
[10:50] <ricree> kostkon: pidgin, that is
[10:50] <Andorin> Guys, I know that the system is recognizing it as a flash drive because both dmesg and lsusb list the name of the flash drive. I just can't browse or modify the files. I assume this is a mount problem?
[10:51] <kostkon> ricree, ok
[10:51] <kostkon> ricree, now for the rest
[10:51] <ricree> kostkon:  one sec, I'm going to close it and reopen
[10:51] <kostkon> ricree, ok
[10:51] <ricree> kostkon: since that was the only sound I know for sure was bugged before
[10:51] <ActionParsnip> Andorin: can you see the partition in the output of: sudo fdisk -l
[10:51] <Andorin> ActionParsnip: Yes.
[10:52] <opossum_oisif> hi, how do I install aptana on ubuntu?
[10:52] <ActionParsnip> Andorin: and if you run: mount      can you see the partition mounted?
[10:52] <disappearedng> any tools to visualize xml data in the command line?
[10:52] <ricree> Ok, yeah, pidgin sound is working now
[10:52] <ActionParsnip> !info aptana
[10:52] <stimpie> Iam looking for panel or script to easily confure domains on apache2+exim, could somebody recommend something simple?
[10:53] <X3> hello boys girls and undecided
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> opossum_oisif: you could find a PPA for it
[10:53] <X3> actionParsnip hi just the man
[10:53] <opossum_oisif> ActionParsnip, what is a PPA?
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> !ppa  | opossum_oisif
[10:53] <Andorin> ActionParsnip: No, I don't see it in the list.
[10:53] <X3> google ppa searc
[10:53] <opossum_oisif> ActionParsnip, hum thx a lot!
[10:53] <X3> 8search
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> Andorin: then you will need to mount it manually
[10:54] <Andorin> Hoo boy.
[10:54] <ricree> kostkon:  pidgin sound works when set to ALSA
[10:54] <ActionParsnip> !mount |  Andorin
[10:54] <kostkon> ricree, :)
[10:55] <ricree> kostkon:  and now to see about getting that for the media players
[10:55] <kostkon> ricree, yeah
[10:55] <kostkon> ricree, now, could you press alt+f2
[10:55] <X3> ActionParsnip: I have a grub2 upgrade from legacy it boot works fine except is I issue update-grub I get a silly error : not foundt/grub: 7:
[10:55] <kostkon> ricree, and give: gstreamer-properties
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> X3: not sure, ask the channel
[10:56] <ActionParsnip> !grub2 | x3
[10:56] <kostkon> ricree, ah, just wanted to ask, you are running pulse, right?
[10:56] <X3> erm I have done that thx
[10:56] <X3> theres no mention of that error anywhere
[10:56] <kostkon> ricree, i am askign in case that you have removed for some reason
[10:56] <kostkon> removed it*
[10:56] <aaron11> Hello Is there a way to get PySQlite? I realy need it so that I can setup supybot
[10:57] <kostkon> ricree, did the gst properties window open?
[10:57] <Andorin> ActionParsnip: Alright. I'm looking at the instructions, and trying them. When I run "sudo mount /device/location /mount/point" I get an error: it wants me to specify a filetype.
[10:57] <X3> Anyone pls I have a grub2 upgrade from legacy it boot ok, works fine except is I issue update-grub I get a silly error : not foundt/grub: 7:
[10:57] <ricree> kostkon: yeah, but it didn't work for me in 9.04, so my guess is that this is some holdover from getting sound to work then
[10:57] <ricree> kostkon: yeah
[10:57] <X3> theres no such error documented
[10:57] <kostkon> ricree, w8. you removed it?
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> Andorin: you need to make a new folder to mount to: sudo mkdir /media/usb     for example
[10:58] <ricree> kostkon:   I didn't remove it, but I set everything to use OSS
[10:58] <aaron11> Does http://pysqlite.org/ exist?
[10:58] <Andorin> ActionParsnip: Done.
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> Andorin: you then mount using: sudo mount /dev/partition_name /media/usb -o uid=1000    and you'll be ok. change partition_name to whatever the partition is named (e.g.  /dev/sdb1)
[10:58] <Andorin> Oh, gee, another channel troll.
[10:58] <kostkon> ricree, ah. intereting then. it could be that the option to use oss for gst apps on 9.04 remained also on 9.10
[10:58] <PhantomLink> !ops Jenelle is sending spam and viruses
[10:59] <ronald__> hello there!what kind of linux that match for gateway M520? because i use ubuntu the problem is they have no audio sound.,
[10:59] <PhantomLink> oh heh nice
[10:59] <opossum_oisif> ActionParsnip, how and where do I browse ppa?
[10:59] <chelz> hat was a pretty fast kline
[10:59] <kostkon> ricree, thus, alt+f2, give: gstreamer-properties and then in the audio tab
[10:59] <PhantomLink> ya
[10:59] <user01> can s.o. kick her?
[10:59] <Andorin> ActionParsnip: I still get the "you must specify the filesystem type" message.
[10:59] <X3> Anyone pls I have a grub2 works ok I get this on command update-grub : not foundt/grub: 7:
[10:59] <aaron11> Hello Is there a way to get PySQlite? I realy need it so that I can setup supybot
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> ronald__: then run: sudo lshw -C sound   and websearch for guides to setup your sound
[10:59] <ricree> kostkon: the plugin was set to oss in the selector.  I've switched it over to pulseaudio now
[10:59] <kostkon> ricree, in the default output, change the plugin to alsa or pulse. whichever is available
[10:59] <kostkon> ricree, nice
[10:59] <kostkon> ricree, now you should be fine
[10:59] <chelz> what's the hotkey to open a terminal in karmic?
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> ronald__: there is no specific linux for the vast array of branded systems, it not feasible
[10:59] <ricree> kostkon:  sound still seems choppy.  Will this need a reboot or new login to work?
[10:59] <kostkon> ricree, test your apps now
[11:00] <kostkon> ricree, eh, you could logout and login
[11:00] <PhantomLink> jenelle was trying to send me porn
[11:00] <aaron11> chelz: There is none
[11:00] <kostkon> ricree, also, what is selected for defauilt input?
[11:00] <X3> chelz: google or add it to panel
[11:00] <ricree> kostkon:  don't recall, but I also set it to pulseaudio
[11:00] <aaron11> PhantomLink: He send somthing about mother spanking a kid
[11:00] <PhantomLink> probably just virus filled video files, but heh we use linux
[11:00] <chelz> dang, alt+t was great in 8.10
[11:00] <DJones> PhantomLink: Its a spammer thats been dealt with by freenode staff
[11:00] <eviltoaster_3e> PhantomLink, me 2 :S
[11:01] <m1dlg> why has this irc become the target for this spam/hack attack lately? none of the other ones i'm on is
[11:01] <kostkon> ricree, logout and login. if again you have choppy sound, run the gst properties again and set
[11:01] <kostkon> :S
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> m1dlg: freenode is the largest irc network available
[11:01] <aaron11> Hello Is there a way to get PySQlite?  Are you sure that the alternate installer will overwrite all the base libs and programs?
[11:03] <PhantomLink> you should use a windoze VM
[11:03] <PhantomLink> in fullscreen mode
[11:03] <PhantomLink> then they won't know XD
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> PhantomLink: so if i ran linux i wouldnt be able to work would I.
[11:03] <aaron11> PhantomLink: Ose offtopic #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> PhantomLink: then why bother running 2 OSes when I can use just one and get the same thing
[11:04] <PhantomLink> ActionParsnip:  not sure, just spouted a random idea there :D
[11:04] <aaron11> Hello Is there a way to get PySQlite? I realy need it so that I can setup supybot
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> its massively flawed
[11:04] <ohnoes> User mahaju spams me:
[11:04] <simplexio> ohnoes: do you want reisntall all packages ?
[11:04] <siliconmeadow> how do I enable autocomplete in my terminal window, e.g. type '*z' and it files in at somefile.tgz (provided somefile.tgz is the only file in the directory ending in z)?
[11:05] <skfet> use tab?
[11:05] <PhantomLink> question:  is this channel where the ubermassive BOUNCEATTACK.TXT dcc flood came from?  (just curious)  ( i had to kill xchat to get it to go away )
[11:05] <X3> aaron11 type aptitude and when it loads do / andsearch
[11:05] <ohnoes> simplexio: I want a system that gives me a root shell with networking + a working package database,
[11:05] <X3> wrong window :/
[11:05] <aaron11> X3: Will sudo apt-get install pysqlite work?
[11:05] <Andorin> Argh...
[11:05] <siliconmeadow> skfet: sorry - yes I meant to say - i can't get the tab to work to do that
[11:05] <Will123456> hey guys. quick question: for a 1.6 ghz single core AMD XP with a gig of DDR RAM, is it worth going to xubuntu just for a quick boost of speed? it's fine running ubuntu but can struggle with some websites, esp. if there's quite a few tabs up. (i've read that xubuntu is quicker than ubuntu but actually not THAT much quicker, not as much as they make out anyway)
[11:05] <ohnoes> simplexio: I type slowly, because of another keyboard layout.
[11:06] <X3> aaron11 if the rpos exit yes
[11:06] <aaron11> ok
[11:06] <X3> aaron11 if the repos exist yes
[11:06] <carverm> My Jaunty installation broke after a recent package update. Greeter application is crashing now. Is this best channel to try for help?
[11:06] <SquarePi> Will123456, stick with Ubuntu
[11:06] <GNU\colossus> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8346752#post8346752 - help please (definitely takes some experience with HAL and Xorg)
[11:06] <ricree> kostkon:  no change after a reboot
[11:06] <kostkon> Will123456, i'm sure the slowness it flash related
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> Will123456: xubuntu will be more responsive but i've ran a full kde system on a similar rig
[11:07] <Andorin> ActionParsnip: Flash drive still will not mount.......
[11:07] <X3> anyone know about this grub2 error : not foundt/grub: 7:
[11:07] <kostkon> ricree, you didn't have to reboot. but anyway, run again the gst properties app and change the default output from pulse to alsa
[11:07] <simplexio> ohnoes: check msg
[11:07]  * PhantomLink hugs ActionParsnip - hopefully work will be over soon so you can get back into the wonderful world of linux
[11:07] <X3> theres no documentation on that
[11:07] <ricree> kostkon:  tried that as well already
[11:07] <kostkon> ricree, same?
[11:08] <PhantomLink> ;)
[11:08] <ricree> kostkon:  yeah
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> Andorin: thats the sort of command you need, if its moaing about type then rerun the fdisk command, if its ntfs formatted then add: -t ntfs-3g     if its FAT based then use: -t vfat
[11:08] <PhantomLink> anywho...i'll be in ot
[11:08] <kostkon> ricree, could you check that you have the gstreamer-pulseaudio-something package?
[11:08] <mahaju> im new to linux
[11:08] <kostkon> !info gstreamer-pulseaudio
[11:08] <mahaju> i need to learn how to use it
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> PhantomLink: both are fine for me, i can do what i do in either OS. I only web browse and chat so I use linux as its free
[11:08] <kostkon> :?
[11:08] <mahaju> could any one please help me out?
[11:09] <ricree> !info gstreamer0.10-pusleaudio
[11:09] <Will123456> kostkon: yeah, it is. adblock plus for FF improves things greatly.
[11:09] <ricree> odd, showing up in synaptic
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> Andorin: so the command would be: sudo mount /dev/partition_name -t vfat /media/usb -o uid=1000
[11:09] <ricree> kostkon:  but yeah, it's installed
[11:09] <kostkon> Will123456, indeed
[11:09] <carverm> Mahaju - you might start here: https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/getting-started.html
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> Andorin: for example, you'll need to change the partition_name and type if its not vfat
[11:10] <Will123456> ActionParsnip: thanks, i guess i may as well stick with ubuntu then (it's for my mum and she's more familiar with gnome) :)
[11:10] <Andorin> ActionParsnip: Right, right... trying it now.
[11:10] <kostkon> ricree, eh, which device is selected in gst properties in default output
[11:10] <ricree> kostkon:  the odd thing is, when I hit the test in gstreamer properties and OSS is selected, it sounds just like my problem.  But both ALSA and PulseAudio work fine
[11:10] <carverm> Mahaju - sorry, try this link instead https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/newtoubuntu/C/index.html
[11:10] <ricree> kostkon:   So it's like it's ignoring the gstreamer-properties and going with OSS anyways
[11:10] <kostkon> ricree, but your apps still sound choppy
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> Will123456: cool, if she likes it then stick with it, user interface familiarity an all
[11:11] <kostkon> ricree, then, hmm
[11:11] <Andorin> ActionParsnip: ARGHH! It's still rejecting the command.
[11:11] <kostkon> ricree, yeah, it could be
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> Andorin: you get the idea, just tweak and tweak until its good, there are lots of guides online
[11:11] <X3> well thx for no help at all dont have a clew why this channel exists the questions asked mostly here are n00bish when someone asks a real question noone knows sod all
[11:11] <kostkon> ricree, try this, just to make sure. w8
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> Andorin: if you use http://pastebin.com   to give the output of: sudo fdisk -l   I can give te command
[11:11] <Andorin> ActionParsnip: k
[11:12] <carverm> The greeter application is crashing in my Jaunty installation after I allowed Update Manager to update packages recently. I've done lots of web searching to no avail. Can anyone assist? : )
[11:12] <Will123456> X3: what was your question?
[11:12] <Will123456> oh
[11:12] <Will123456> he's gone
[11:12] <Andorin> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/d67c3c9fc
[11:12] <kostkon> ricree, eh, do you have anything in .config/totem?
[11:13] <ricree> kostkon:  no
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> Andorin: ok the partition is /dev/sdf1
[11:13] <ricree> kostkon: wait, nm.  was in the wrong folder
[11:13] <ricree> kostkon: there's a state.ini
[11:14] <kostkon> ricree, ok. check in .gnome2
[11:14] <kostkon> ricree, do you have a totem_config file?
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> Andorin: sudo mount /dev/sdf1 /media/usb -t vfat -o uid=1000
[11:14] <kostkon> ricree, or a totem file
[11:14] <ricree> kostkon:  totem's one of the programs that works.  Would it likely make a difference?
[11:14] <kostkon> ricree, ah, totem works
[11:14] <mahaju> Could anybody please helpme?
[11:14] <kostkon> ricree, tell me again the ones that don't work
[11:15] <chelz> mahaju: whatcha need?
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> Andorin: this has a vfat guide too: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/mounting-windows-partition-onto-ubuntu-linux/
[11:15] <ricree> kostkon: rhythmbox and banshee are the only two I can confirm at the moment. Also, banshee wasn't installed until the issues cropped up with rhythmbox, so I don't see it being a config issue with that program
[11:16] <kostkon> ricree, ok
[11:16] <ricree> kostkon:  My guess is that I've screwed up the config for gstreamer somehow, but I'm not sure how
[11:16] <kostkon> ricree, both are gstreamer apps, yeah
[11:16] <Andorin> ActionParsnip: Now take a look at this http://pastebin.com/d7eb3f949
[11:16] <kostkon> ricree, but totem is a gst app too
[11:16] <kostkon> ricree, hmm
[11:17] <carverm> The greeter application is crashing in my Jaunty installation after I allowed Update Manager to update packages recently. I've done lots of web searching to troubleshoot, but gnome desktop is hosed. Can anyone assist? : )
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> Andorin: ok has this stick been in a windows sstem before putting it in your linux system?
[11:17] <kostkon> ricree, eh, what device is selected in gst properties, in the default output section
[11:17] <ricree> kostkon:  like I said before,  it's almost like those apps are ignoring the settings from gstreamer-properties.  I'm not sure what would cause that
[11:17] <ricree> kostkon: one sec
[11:18] <kostkon> ricree, there should be a drop down below the plugin one
[11:18] <ricree> kostkon: default at the moment
[11:18] <Andorin> ActionParsnip: Yes, but not for a while now. Um, if it helps, I was experimenting with TrueCrypt in order to get the hang of it using this flash drive... so that might have something to do with why I can't mount it?
[11:18] <kostkon> ricree, aha. what other options are availablwe to selet?
[11:18] <ricree> kostkon: STAC92xx Analog and STAC92xx Digital are the other options
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> Andorin: did you just rip the device out of the system or did you use the saftely remove hardware function in windows?
[11:18] <ricree> kostkon:  and NVIDIA HDMI
[11:18] <kostkon> ricree, hmm. then, select the analog one
[11:18] <Andorin> Oh my God. >_<
[11:19] <ronald__> how to unlock this /var/lib/dpkg/lock??
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> Andorin: ?
[11:19] <cookie_> hi everybody
[11:19] <kostkon> ricree, and test your apps again
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> ronald__: close synaptic
[11:19] <ricree> kostkon:  not at first.  Going to try relogging
[11:19] <ronald__> how i close the synaptic?
[11:19] <cankoy> carverm: can you log in from console?
[11:19] <carverm> Cankoy - yes I can
[11:19] <Andorin> ActionParsnip: I'm really sorry for wasting your time. This WAS a TrueCrypt thing- if I have the drive formatted the way I do then I have to mount it myself with TrueCrypt. I just got it to work. At least now I know more about mount..... again, sorry for the time waste.
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> ronald__: its a window on the desktop, like gedit or openoffice
[11:20] <cookie_> how to change vdi type form fixed-size image to dynamically expanding image ?
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> Andorin: you got the gold, thats all that matters:)
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> Andorin: you also learned the mount command some which is good, many users can't
[11:20] <cankoy> carverm: tried any apt-get commands?
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> ronald__: only 1 app can access the packages at once
[11:21] <carverm> cankoy: I've tried apt-get update and apt-get upgrade. One sec and I'll type error I got when running update
[11:21] <ricree> kostkon: no change
[11:21] <Andorin> ActionParsnip: Yeah, it doesn't seem too difficult in principle... this drive just magically wouldn't mount. Which, for TrueCrypt's purposes, is actually rather nice. Thanks for your help.
[11:21] <ActionParsnip> ronald__: if synaptic isnt running and you are not installing any packages then you can run this:
[11:21] <ActionParsnip> !aptfix | ronald__
[11:21] <kostkon> ricree, :/
[11:21] <Gab_> hi
[11:21] <cankoy> carverm: first do an 'apt-get clean' before them
[11:21] <carverm> cankoy: ok, sec
[11:21] <Acegi> Hi, quick question. What command do I use to detect what wireless module is in use?
[11:21] <kostkon> ricree, you could try reinstalling gst
[11:21] <conb123> How do i get my bottom window bar back after i removed it to make way for awn?
[11:22] <cookie_> conb123,  you have to add it manually
[11:22] <conb123> cookie_: Oh man that's annoying
[11:22] <carverm> cankoy: did apt-get clean, then apt-get update. no problems there. when running apt-get upgrade it wants to upgrade some, I select "y" and I get an error when trying to upgrade totem-common
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> conb123: right click desktop -> add panel
[11:22] <Gab_> programs are erased to clear the wine?
[11:23] <kostkon> ricree, but it's strange yeah. do you have a 4th gst app you could test? :D
[11:23] <ricree> kostkon: I'll give that a try
[11:23] <conb123> Actionparsnip: Yeah got it just thought i could maybe do something like dpkg-reconfigure
[11:23] <ricree> kostkon: can you think of any off the top of your head?
[11:23] <Irakirashia> How do I set the common home folder permissions for my account?
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> conb123: nar, much simpler
[11:23] <kostkon> ricree, :(
[11:23] <cankoy> carverm: can you pastebin please? (as many lines as possible)
[11:23] <carverm> cankoy: "Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/totem-common_2.26.1-0ubuntu5.1_all.deb
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> Irakirashia: cd /home; ls -la ./$USER
[11:23] <cookie_> anyone know how to change VDI disk type in VirtualBox?
[11:24] <ricree> kostkon: anyways, reinstalling gstreamer right now, maybe that will help
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> cookie_: have you asked in #vbox ?
[11:24] <carverm> cankoy: "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpks returned an error code (1)"
[11:24] <kostkon> ricree, yeah
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> carverm: if you use http://pastebin   you can give the whole output
[11:24] <cookie_> o thanks, i don't know, that this channel exist
[11:24] <Irakirashia> ActionParsnip I want to set, not to see :P
[11:24] <MenZa> ActionParsnip: Your link sorta broke.
[11:24] <Irakirashia> ActionParsnip I just forgot the correct number to do the chmod -R
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> Irakirashia: do you want to change the owner?
[11:25] <emergion> ss
[11:25] <Irakirashia> ActionParsnip Uhm, maybe changing the owner will do, thanks, I'll do it
[11:25] <carverm> ActionParsnip: I'm in this chat session on another comp. Not sure how to use pastebin from the command line of the broken ubuntu box?
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> Irakirashia: theres no usiversal as some files may need to be executable, others may not
[11:25] <Irakirashia> ActionParsnip I just mod +x any executable ween needed
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> Irakirashia: cd /home; sudo chown $USER:$USER ./$USER
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> oops
[11:26] <conb123> ActionParsnip: Right so what exactly do i need on the bar again, window list, show desktop button, that's it isn't it?
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> Irakirashia:  cd /home; sudo chown -R$USER:$USER ./$USER
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> add a space between -R and chown
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> and $USER
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> Irakirashia:  cd /home; sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ./$USER     is what you need
[11:27] <Irakirashia> Thanks ActionParsnip ;)
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> Irakirashia: if you use a recursive chmod you may remove the executable permissions where it is needed, the owner will have the right access for writability
[11:28] <Irakirashia> I know ActionParsnip, don't worry, I just woke up and forgot that chown existed :P
[11:28] <administrator_> 7list
[11:28] <cookie_> aghr on #vbox nobody is active, so i ask again: How to change VDI type form fixed-size image to dynamically expanding image?

[11:30] <m_tadeu> hi everyone.....how can I get the supported resolutions for my nvidia card/driver?
[11:30] <llutz> cookie_: it seems you cannot, maybe look at this http://forum.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=23566
 (at forum.virtualbox.org)
[11:31] <cookie_> llutz, thanks, I'll see this
[11:31] <rashed2020> What is this [[Rx-BOT]] thing?
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> not seen it before
[11:31] <aaron11> :P looks like a bot
[11:31] <llutz> may one of the ops kick that f... bot please?
[11:31] <aaron11> !ops
[11:31] <[[Rx-BOT]]> aaron11: Error: "ops" is not a valid command.
[11:32] <rashed2020> Really? That's an emergency?
[11:32] <aaron11> [[Rx-BOT]]: Is a problem
[11:32] <[[Rx-BOT]]> aaron11: Error: "Is" is not a valid command.
[11:32] <kostkon> rashed2020, it's not?
[11:32] <rashed2020> I wouldn't even call this urgent.
[11:32] <cankoy> cookie_: there's no direct way, but you can clone it using VBoxManage clonehd ...
[11:32] <aaron11> kick please
[11:33] <cookie_> cankoy, again?? oh god, i convert it from .raw
[11:33] <djdarkman> hello, can someone tell me how can I disable this harddrive naging servirce completely?
[11:34] <carverm> cankoy: Since my ubuntu box is at the command line and this chat is from another comp, what is the best way to get you the info you need to assist?
[11:34] <cankoy> cookie_: there's no in-place fixed<->dynamic conversion. You need to clone it using the command I specified, see vbox manual for details.
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> djdarkman: not aware of such a service
[11:35] <djdarkman> it's something called gdu-notification
[11:35] <djdarkman> it always tells that the harddrive is failing
[11:36] <cookie_> cankoy, yes i use it, but i'm bit strange about this
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> djdarkman: have you fsck'd the drive. Maybe a test with the manufacturers testing tool will clear it up
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> djdarkman: seems to be a daemon process, you could disable it
[11:36] <conb123> Ohhhh what is that command in ubuntu for sending messages to other users on the network?
[11:36] <cankoy> carverm: the first error you posted implies you did not run 'apt-get clean'
[11:37] <carverm> cankoy: I did. Happy to run it again
[11:37] <cankoy> carverm: then update, followed by upgrade
[11:38] <carverm> cankoy: apt-get clean has been run (just now). apt-get update runs fine also
[11:38] <carverm> cankoy: apt-get upgrade indicates totem-common will be upgraded. When I accept with "y" is when it tries to upgrade and generates the error
[11:38] <ActionParsnip> conb123: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=288042    is like net send
[11:38] <suigeneris> ActionParsnip, the same thing happens
[11:39] <ActionParsnip> suigeneris: does aboutplugins say its 10.1 ?
[11:39] <redliner> i've installed UNR but button of wireless card isn't working in a right way
[11:39] <cankoy> carverm: then manually remove that file under /var/cache/apt/... and try upgrade  again
[11:39] <Acegi> I have a list of modprobe modules but I'm not sure which one is my wireless network
[11:39] <Acegi> How do I find out?
[11:39] <redliner> wireless card - atheros
[11:40] <suigeneris> ActionParsnip, yes but dpkg -l | grep flash doesn't
[11:40] <carverm> cankoy: trying it now
[11:40] <carverm> cankoy: it downloads the totem-common file, but unfortunately generates the same errors again:
[11:40] <Acegi> It's not atheros
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> suigeneris: good, and is the swf stuff out too?
[11:40] <carverm> cankoy: gdbm fatal: read error

[11:43] <toffan> hi all
[11:43] <Ome> 'lo
[11:43] <toffan> I need some help for WINE
[11:43] <ActionParsnip> carverm: sure: copy the text to a file then run: pastebinit file
[11:44] <ricree> kostkon:  reinstalling gstreamer did no good.  Also tried removing and reinstalling the programs and that also did nothing
[11:44] <toffan> I have one dotnet application and need to run in ubuntu 9.10
[11:44] <kostkon> ricree, :/
[11:44] <ActionParsnip> carverm: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+question/88628    use that but translate it to totem
[11:44] <carverm> ActionParsnip: working on getting pastebinit installed on the ubuntu box
[11:44] <ActionParsnip> suigeneris: you still have the old version some place
[11:44] <ActionParsnip> carverm: get totem nailed first
[11:45] <kostkon> ricree, eh, do you have all the gst codecs packages installed?
[11:45] <toffan> is there anyone who can help me on dotnet or WINE?
[11:45] <carverm> ActionParsnip: Thank you for the link. I'll read through that to see if I can get this totem problem whacked.
[11:45] <ricree> kostkon: I think I only have whatever comes with ubuntu-restricted-extras, but I'm not sure
[11:45] <mehdus> hey how are you
[11:45] <dvrcoder> hi all, question: where do i change the screen settings for the console? i want my 80x25 back
[11:46] <mehdus> sorry i dont now
[11:46] <kostkon> ricree, you could check which gst packages are installed
[11:46] <toffan> anyone can help me on WINE topic?
[11:46] <kostkon> ricree, in synaptic
[11:47] <kostkon> ricree, could you also try something else
[11:47] <Spixx> toffan: Try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine
[11:47] <infidel2> how can i tell which version of qt i have?
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> carverm: it basically makes your system forget it has totem installed ;)
[11:47] <kostkon> ricree, open rhythm, put something playing and then start lowering the volume gradually
[11:47] <toffan> i have installed but still cant able to run the app
[11:47] <carverm> ActionParsnip: That would be a good thing
[11:47] <Spixx> toffan: what errors do you get?
[11:47] <kostkon> ricree, i mean the volume slider in rhythm
[11:47] <rsk> toffan ask the qeustion
[11:48] <toffan> Spixx i can not run, no error
[11:48] <kostkon> ricree, it;s on the right, in the taskbar
[11:48] <rsk> er
[11:48] <Spixx> toffan: what type of "app" is it?
[11:48] <rsk> toffan how does it not run? what app is it? what wine version? run wine --version
[11:48] <ActionParsnip> carverm: this is one of the weaknesses in package based systems, if you get them stuck you can't install /  remove anything til you fix it
[11:49] <ricree> kostkon:  crashes the program
[11:49] <Spixx> Anyone who knows a bit of syslog-ng? I have an installation that wont logg any remote hosts anymore?
[11:49] <kostkon> ricree, !!
[11:49] <toffan> http://www.sharekhan.com/tradetiger/setupnew.html
[11:49] <toffan> this is the url
[11:49] <toffan> Spixx: you can see this her
[11:49] <toffan> here*
[11:49] <carverm> ActionParsnip: And all this started because I let Update Manager upgrade the packages it was suggesting...
[11:49] <kostkon> ricree, ok. then run rhythm from the terminal and try again to use the slider
[11:49] <rsk> toffan not sure it .net 2 works yet but try to install it with winetricks or use mono
[11:49] <ricree> kostkon:  that's where I've been running it from
[11:49] <kostkon> ricree, any errors?
[11:50] <ricree> kostkon:  CRITICAL **: atk_object_set_name: assertion `name != NULL' failed
[11:50] <toffan> rsk: I can not get.. could you please tell me in detais..?
[11:50] <rsk> toffan no
[11:50] <kostkon> ricree, only this one line?
[11:50] <ricree>  kostkon:  but that's prior to attempting to play anything
[11:50] <ricree>  kostkon: nothing else
[11:50] <kostkon> ricree, no, any errors when trying to lower the volume
[11:50] <kostkon> ricree, nothing?
[11:50] <ActionParsnip> carverm: it comes with no promises and no sla, so if it goes weird you gotta fix it yourself
[11:50] <ricree>  kostkon:  none
[11:50] <rsk> toffan if you dont know theese things i recomend install XP in virtualbox and just run it from there
[11:50] <toffan> Spixx: can you please help me on this?
[11:50] <kostkon> ricree, hmm
[11:51] <ricree>  kostkon:  actually, it doesn't crash, it looks like it just hangs for a few seconds
[11:51] <carverm> ActionParsnip: Yep, it's great when it works. Painful when it breaks.
[11:51] <Spixx> on syslog-ng topic Conf == http://pastebin.com/m43b81b3a
[11:51] <toffan> rsk I have vista and win7 runs with ubuntu
[11:51] <ricree>  kostkon:  when the volume is changed
[11:51] <kostkon> ricree, and if you lower the volume you are still getting choppy sound?
[11:51] <Spixx> toffan: Dotnet is quite a hard bit to run though Wine
[11:51] <infidel2> i apt-get installed something that's an older version and they have a newer .deb. do i have to sudo apt-get remove the old package before dpkg -i'ing the new one?
[11:51] <ricree>  kostkon:  yeah
[11:51] <kostkon> ricree, :/
[11:52] <toffan> Spixx: is tehre anything else through which i can run Dotnet apps..?
[11:52] <Spixx> toffan: http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks
[11:52] <cankoy> infidel2: no
[11:52] <Werztron> Bye.
[11:52] <toffan> thanks Spixx
[11:52] <toffan> I will try from that
[11:52] <Spixx> check winetricks out that will make it simpler to install and use dotnet also see to it that you install dotnet from www.microsoft.com/downloads
[11:53] <infidel2> cankoy will it install over the old version or just keep them both installed
[11:53] <toffan> thanks rsk also
[11:53] <cankoy> infidel2: it will remove the old version
[11:53] <Spixx> Back to syslog-ng? Anyone that know why this http://pastebin.com/m43b81b3a don't work :S it logged before I added the rules.
[11:53] <suigeneris> ActionParsnip, same thing
[11:53] <kostkon> ricree, just to be sure, do you see rhythm in your sound prefs, in the applications tab
[11:53] <smuggboy> hello @all, i have a problem to open black&white images (1bit color depth) via " xloadimage " - i can only see black where the image should be. same problem in debian but attention -> no problem with debian live an some other Linux Distros... i need some help to track and solve the problem
[11:53] <Spixx> I'm trying to separete every hosts to a different file.
[11:54] <kostkon> ricree, open rhythm, put something playing and check
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> suigeneris: try: cd /; sudo find -iname "*.so" | grep flash
[11:54] <ricree> kostkon:  no, it doesn't show up
[11:54] <carverm> ActionParsnip: Getting errors when trying to follow the steps in the post. I've got pastebinit installed on the ubuntu box now. Output of  "sudo apt-get upgrade" is available now at http://pastebin.com/f25a40aa0
[11:54] <kostkon> ricree, :O even when plauing?
[11:54] <infidel2> cankoy how do you make dpkg install the package's dependencies?
[11:55] <ricree> kostkon:  nope, not even when playing
[11:55] <kostkon> ricree, right. interesting
[11:55] <kostkon> ricree, very interesting
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> carverm: sudo apt-get --purge remove totem    does that remove it
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> infidel2: sudo apt-get -f install
[11:56] <cankoy> infidel2: without apt-get, you need to fetch them 1by1, put in a folder with the main .deb and run 'dpkg -i *.deb'
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> infidel2: after you sudo dpkg -i debfile
[11:56] <kostkon> ricree, what about totem?
[11:56] <carverm> ActionParsnip: Errors encountered there also. Output is at http://pastebin.com/f6348a38
[11:57] <infidel2> ActionParsnip even if the dpkg -i debfile didnt install anything and just said that certain dependencies were needed first?
[11:57] <ricree> kostkon: one sec.  Had a promising comment on #gstreamer.  following that up right now
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> carverm: i'd go for the hack to carve totem ot, then remove it
[11:57] <kostkon> ricree, :)
[11:58] <yoyo_> hi
[11:58] <ActionParsnip> infidel2: the de file will be put into the apt cache folder, when you run sudo apt-get -f install it will install the deps, then the deb file you wanted
[11:58] <carverm> ActionParsnip: The method listed in the post you previously linked?
[11:58] <ActionParsnip> carverm: yeah
[11:59] <infidel2> ActionParsnip that just tells me it couldnt find package install
[11:59] <carverm> ActionParsnip: I got errors when trying that, but I'll step through it again and post a pastebin dump for the step where it breaks
[11:59] <infidel2> ActionParsnip what do i put after install , the deb file name or just the package name?
[12:00] <ActionParsnip> infidel2: step 1: install deb file with: sudo dpkg -i file.deb
[12:00] <ricree> kostkon:  and now it works
[12:00] <kostkon> ricree, wow
[12:00] <ActionParsnip> infidel2: step 2: run: sudo apt-get -f install
[12:00] <kostkon> ricree, the solution?!
[12:00] <infidel2> ActionParsnip i did that and step two just says 'cant find package install'
[12:00] <ricree> kostkon: apparently there was a pref burried in gconf
[12:00] <kostkon> ricree, lol. it was still set to use oss?
[12:01] <ActionParsnip> infidel2: then the deps you need are not on your repos, you need to add some or download the debs to satisfy the system
[12:01] <ricree> kostkon: musicaudiosing needed to be changed from osssink to pulsesink
[12:01] <kostkon> ricree, hehehe
[12:01] <carverm> ActionParsnip: dpkg errors out when trying to remove totem-common. Output is here: http://pastebin.com/f7491119e
[12:01] <kostkon> ricree, then what gst properties is for :S
[12:01] <ricree> kostkon: according to someone on #gstreamer it's known that gstreamer-properties is out of date
[12:01] <ricree> kostkon:  :(
[12:01] <kostkon> ricree, ah, right. then someone needs to update it :/
[12:01] <carverm> ActionParsnip: Bleh, that wasn't helpful. It didn't capture the error messages
[12:02] <ricree> kostkon:  and apparently it doesn't change some new keyes that were added
[12:02] <kostkon> ricree, it doesnt update all the gconf keys apparently eh?
[12:02] <kostkon> ricree, yeah :)
[12:02] <ricree> kostkon:  well thanks a ton for all of your help
[12:02] <kostkon> ricree, :)
[12:02] <robert8> bonjour
[12:02] <ricree> kostkon:  I probably wouldn't have even tracked it down to a gstreamer config issue if not for your help
[12:02] <kostkon> ricree, hehe. maybe
[12:03] <ActionParsnip> carverm: you could try force installing the deb, its a high level app so won't affect stuff
[12:03] <carverm> ActionParsnip: Ok. Lemme lookup the syntax and give it a shot
[12:03] <cankoy> carverm: you first pastebin suggests the postrm script is causing trouble (in the example link it was prerm)
[12:04] <ActionParsnip> carverm: sudo dpkg --force-all -i debfile

[12:07] <ActionParsnip> Mow: yeah with a video file?
[12:07] <carverm> cankoy: Your tip may have helped totem finally get removed. I removed totem-common.postrm and it seems like it may have successfully removed the package now
[12:07] <EvRide> anyone using empathy?
[12:07] <mow> ya says something about kids:(
[12:08] <tavasti> is it possible to disable dcc totally from xchat?

[12:09] <EvRide> well anyways, i can't stand empathy, anyone else have the same opinion?
[12:09] <suigeneris> ActionParsnip, I don't
[12:09] <mow> ActionParsnip > Jenelle should be perminataly band from here

[12:12] <ActionParsnip> suigeneris: rm ~/libflasplayer.so; wget http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/flashplayer10_1_p1_linux_111709.tar.gz; tar zxvf ./flashplayer10_1_p1_linux_111709.tar.gz; mv ~/install_flash_player_10_linux/libflashplayer.so ~/.mozilla/plugins; rm -rf ./install_flash_player_10_linux; rm ~/flashplayer10_1_p1_linux_111709.tar.gz

[12:12] <cankoy> carverm: any luck with 'apt-get upgrade' now?
[12:12] <ActionParsnip> suigeneris: you got it, don't run the command
[12:12] <pinguin07> hai
[12:12] <ActionParsnip> suigeneris: do the vids play better
[12:12] <LjL> kkkduifjalsdd: to do what? "sleep" is a very simple timer: it'll terminate after n seconds
[12:13] <EvRide> actionparsnip, you an actionscript developer?
[12:13] <suigeneris> nou, still not the full length
[12:13] <carverm> Still not happy. Output is here http://pastebin.com/f3e4b81d0
[12:13] <ActionParsnip> EvRide: no i just use command line a lot
[12:13] <carverm> cankoy: output is here http://pastebin.com/f3e4b81d0
[12:13] <suigeneris> ActionParsnip*
[12:13] <ActionParsnip> suigeneris: try a video with the newer flash
[12:14] <suigeneris> ActionParsnip,     Dosya adı: libflashplayer.so / Shockwave Flash 10.1 d51 <--- from about:plugins
[12:14] <EvRide> well i was actually going to ask you before you posted that... cause of your name
[12:14] <kkkduifjalsdd> LjL, I mean it should show me the elapsed time, e.g. when making a presentation
[12:15] <nou> suigeneris: full length of what ?
[12:15] <EvRide> looking for a stop watch kkkduifjalsdd?
[12:15] <suigeneris> nou, that was directed to ActionParsnip, sorry

[12:17] <przemo> hi
[12:17] <ActionParsnip> suigeneris: how are videos?
[12:17] <przemo> ok thanx
[12:17] <LjL> kkkduifjalsdd: i can't find anything like that for the terminal... could probably be hacked together as a script, though
[12:17] <EvRide> there is also a stopwatch program you can install through synaptic
[12:17] <kkkduifjalsdd> EvRide, thx a lot
[12:17] <EvRide> yup
[12:17] <cankoy> carverm: try 'apt-get install gnome-common'
[12:18] <carverm> cankoy: output is here http://pastebin.com/f1aaac1d9
[12:18] <cankoy> carverm: basically there're 52 packages in troubled state, you need to fix them 1 by 1 if necessary
[12:20] <suigeneris> ActionParsnip, it looks okay now. I have to try other videos too
[12:20] <suigeneris> thanks
[12:20] <cankoy> carverm: can you remove any of those *-dev packages?
[12:20] <carverm> cankoy: let me check
[12:22] <carverm> cankoy: If I try to remove using 'sudo apt-get remove libxine-dev' for example, this is the result http://pastebin.com/fdca0827
[12:23] <Dougal> I want to run graphical programs on my desktop with superuser privelages, there's a small program that lets me do that, just trying to remember the name. gsudo, is what i thought it was called. Does anyone know the program i'm talking about?
[12:24] <Fake51> anyone wellversed with screen? have a problem with input, keys not getting through properly
[12:24] <cankoy> carverm: the number has become 50, what does 'apt-cache policy libxine-dev' report?
[12:24] <EagleScreen> Dougal: it is gksu
[12:24] <Adrian1> Hello. Can somebody please help me install ebox ?
[12:24] <carverm> cankoy: http://pastebin.com/f63d90ba8
[12:25] <EagleScreen> Fake51: wrong keyboard layout?
[12:25] <carverm> cankoy: I was able to remove some of the unused packages a bit earlier, which is why the # of packages wanting attention has dropped
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> Adrian1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox
[12:25] <Fake51> EagleScreen: doubt it, everything else works just fine
[12:25] <Fake51> EagleScreen: my problem is that shift-tab doesn't come through
[12:26] <cankoy> carverm: 'apt-get remove libexpat1-dev'
[12:26] <EagleScreen> Fake51: do they work in a tty terminal?
[12:26] <Adrian1> ActionParsnip: I done that. It doesen't work.
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> Adrian1: thats all i know
[12:27] <Dougal> ah, i wanted *gksudo* thanks
[12:27] <carverm> cankoy: That removed some packages then ended with an error. Down to 39. http://pastebin.com/f4bf011a1
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> Adrian1: i use ssh, does everything
[12:27] <Fake51> EagleScreen: well, when I run in a terminal without using screen, shift-tab gets through just fine
[12:27] <Fake51> EagleScreen: same comp, using screen, no dice
[12:28] <cankoy> carverm: if you followed the output messages, it should be apparent for you how to fix things now?
[12:29] <Fake51> EagleScreen: hmmm, could be a TERM thing ... got it working on another comp, different TERM setting. Thanks for the input :)
[12:29] <carverm> cankoy: Not quite. If it won't let me remove libexpat1-dev, what is next step?
[12:30] <cankoy> carverm: postrm is causing problem for it, so...
[12:30] <cankoy> carverm: correcting, prerm
[12:30] <carverm> cankoy: so remove libexpat1.prerm from /var/lib/dpkg/info ?
[12:31] <cankoy> carverm: yes
[12:31] <mrXX> gdmorning ppl
[12:31] <cankoy> carverm: libexpat1-dev.prerm
[12:31] <nathan_muir> hi
[12:32] <mrXX> is anybody been using Poomo here?
[12:32] <mrXX> i need some help with pommo and there is no channel for pommo

[12:34] <alumno> and like 4kernels
[12:34] <alumno> cuz i got whathever graphic card error
[12:34] <Dr_Willis> alumno:  use gparted to depete the proper partions.

[12:34] <alumno> and had to reinstall all over again, i have to erase it
[12:34] <mrXX> alumno then go to windows, find the drive where u installed ubunntu, there should be an icon for Uninstall ubunut
[12:34] <Dr_Willis> benc:  it stops the service on run levels 0 2 3 4 5 6  I think.. No sure what the ! means..
[12:34] <alumno> so what do i do?
[12:35] <alumno> when i put gparted, it said that it didnt recognize
[12:35] <mrXX> alumno log into windows, go to the folder where ubuntu is setup, and uninstall it
[12:35] <Dr_Willis> alumno: be more verbose in your error messages. and you may be using gparted incorrectly
[12:35] <benc> Dr_Willis: I'm runnign a web server. when it is reasonable to stop it? Is there a job example for a web server I can use as a reference?
[12:35] <Dr_Willis> alumno:  You did a normal install or a wubi install?
[12:35] <alumno> Dr_Willis, i dunno
[12:36] <alumno> it wasnt me who installed it

[12:37] <mrXX> alumno log into the windows partition , search if there is a Ubuntu folder somewhere, and let us know
[12:37] <alumno> mrXX, where?
[12:37] <mrXX> alumno is the computer with you?
[12:37] <alumno> w8 ill go use search engine lol
[12:37] <alumno> yeh
[12:37] <alumno> im on my partners computer with ubuntu xD
[12:37] <mrXX> alumno then get into the hard drive
[12:38] <kahen> hi, i'm on a fresh install of karmic and flash randomly stops playing sound from time to time. like one minute i play a youtube video and it's fine, i go and do something else and then when i try and play another video *poof* sound's gone. this _never_ used to happen on gutsy->jaunty (all 4 releases)
[12:38] <kahen> and yes, i was using pulseaudio on jaunty as well
[12:38] <mrXX> alumno see if you can search the file WUBI somewhere
[12:38] <mrXX> alumno or even a folder called ubuntu!
[12:38] <alumno> ubuntu is not found :S
[12:39] <mrXX> search wubi
[12:39] <conb123> Er i just removed that envelope icon on the top bar that lets you switch between im's, email applications etc assuming i could add it again but now i cannot find it in add to panel where is it?
[12:39] <JordanC> Ubuntu was lost, but now is found, alumno
[12:39] <alumno> nothing man
[12:39] <krishna>  i have upgraded  using update manager to 9.10 from 04/// now, i want to install windows7.... is it ok to restore grub from 9.04 live cd ? or should i have to download the 9.10 live cd.... because i read in a site before karmic release that karmic has grub 2 while jaunty  grub 1.5... so it possible to do from a jaunty cd ???
[12:39] <alumno> JordanC, it's not lost lol, it just that i have 2ubuntu partitions xD
[12:39] <mrXX> alumno if so seems like ubuntu has not been installed from windows
[12:39] <nathan_muir> hey folks - i would like to change the cpu governer without typing in the password everytime - as i found out, polkit doesn't come with karmic - can someone tell me how to set it up via console/config-file?
[12:40] <RobLikesBrunch> Is it correct thinking that a proxy that allows users outside the intranet to access IP-based subscription services should be a reverse proxy?
[12:40] <kostkon> kahen, sound stops only in flash?
[12:40] <alumno> mrXX, dunno
[12:40] <Will123456> krishna:  if you installed 9.04, then you'll have grub 1.5 as your bootloader
[12:40] <mrXX> alumno then do u have ubuntu live cd?
[12:40] <kahen> krishna: probably not. karmic uses grub2 iirc
[12:40] <mrXX> alumno or any bootable cd?
[12:40] <JordanC> conb123: Right click on the panel at the top, and click "Add To Panel", then select  "Indicator Applet" :)
[12:40] <alumno> mrXX, i dont have one
[12:40] <Will123456> krishna: using a 9.04 live CD is probably safer
[12:40] <mrXX> alumno how many disk partition you have?
[12:40] <ltspadmin>  i m getting an error while create the users..
[12:40] <ltspadmin>  getting an error message in ubuntu 8.04 ltsp server(users-admin:2285): Liboobs-CRITICAL **: create_dbus_struct_from_user: assertion `(login && password && homedir && shell)' failed
[12:40] <alumno> mrXX, dunno
[12:40] <conb123> JordanC: Ah that's what it's called, thanks alot
[12:40] <alumno> how do i check?
[12:40] <krishna> Will123456, you didnot read properly.. i said "I UPGRADED jaunty to karmic using manager update... so is it ok to use karmic live or januty liove ?
[12:41] <Will123456> krishnha: if you upgraded ubuntu, then it would not have upgraded the grub install
[12:41] <kazorin> Anyone here familiar with the various Wine front-ends? I'm just wondering what to get.
[12:41] <alumno> but on booting i have ubuntu+it's recovery and memtest stuff, ubuntu+etc, windows xp
[12:41] <JordanC> conb123: No problem :) It happens.
[12:41] <mrXX> alumno are you in windows or ubuntu right now?
[12:41] <redliner> hi
[12:41] <Will123456> krishna: even if you're running 9.10 now, you'll be using a grub 1.5, not 2
[12:41] <krishna> Will123456, ok..
[12:41] <kahen> kostkon: dunno actually. don't have the problem _right now_. i shall make a note of checking that next time (any audio file from any random podcast played with the totem plugin will do, right?)
[12:41] <redliner> help me to install it on acer aspire one
[12:41] <redliner> zg5
[12:41] <Will123456> krishna: that's assuming you haven't manually reinstalled grub since upgrading to 9.10
[12:41] <RobLikesBrunch>  Is it correct thinking that a proxy that allows users outside the intranet to access IP-based subscription services should be a reverse proxy?
[12:41] <kostkon> kahen, yeah
[12:41] <krishna> Will123456, i havent
[12:42] <mrXX> redliner download wubi and it will do the trick
[12:42] <krishna> Will123456, how to check if i had reinstalled grub ?
[12:42] <epinky> redliner: install what?
[12:42] <redliner> mrXX: exactly i've installed it and configured but LED of wireless isn't working
[12:42] <Will123456> krishna: find some way to check the grub version - i don't know off the top of my head.
[12:43] <redliner> sorry for my english
[12:43] <mrXX> redliner many hardware is not supported still, use a hard cable to surf the net search for driver if you can get one
[12:43] <kazorin> Is anyone here familiar with Wine and it's various front-ends?
[12:43] <krishna> menu.lst has not say that its 1.5
[12:43] <redliner> mrXX: so sad
[12:44] <mrXX> redliner ya dude, i have acer aspire and my mic is still not working
[12:44] <Will123456> krishna: incidentally i don't know much about restoring grub. i can't say that whatever you're planning to do with it will work-  i can only say that if you installed using 9.04 then upgraded using the update manager (instead of say, doing a fresh install from CD), then your grub version will be the same as when you installed grub the first time.
[12:44] <akyapt> i have ubuntu 9.04:can any 1 tell me how can i install 9.10 by removing 9.04??????
[12:44] <alumno> so help me?
[12:44] <mrXX> akyapt run $update-manager-d
[12:44] <krishna> Will123456, ok , i got your. Thanks to you
[12:44] <mrXX> alumno r u in windows or ubuntu?
[12:44] <switchgirl> there is a national disaster i need help setting up a rss feed link to my channel #cumbria-flood anyone help?
[12:44] <Dr_Willis> akyapt:  the 9.10 installer can reformat the 9.04 filesystems if you telll it to. That will delete ALL the data on the 9.04 filesystems
[12:44] <krishna> akyapt, update manager to fresh install
[12:44] <Will123456> krishna: good luck :)
[12:44] <krishna> akyapt, * upgrade
[12:44] <jcrawford> hey guys is there a reason why apps do not remember what screen they were on previously?  I know in OS X and Windows the apps go to the screen they were last on when opened again
[12:45] <krishna> akyapt, get a live cd for a fresh install
[12:45] <LjL> switchgirl: you could use supybot, i believe it has an rss plugin. ask me further in #ubuntu-bots
[12:45] <Will123456> switchgirl: cumbria is flooding? i have family there
[12:45] <switchgirl> Will123456, yeah hell heah they have army billeted to help out
[12:45] <krishna> akyapt, if you say "remove" is complete removal of this 9.04 > fresh install
[12:45] <switchgirl> its that bad
[12:45] <Dr_Willis> jcrawford:  thats a feature of the window manager to rember or not.  some apps also dont always 'open' properly so they ignore the wm hints
[12:46] <kavurt> mrXX: redliner: I have acer expire one and everything is working
[12:46] <jcrawford> Dr_Willis, is there a setting I have to set in my WM for that or is it on by default?
[12:46] <akyapt> krishna:while booting form cd??
[12:46] <Dr_Willis> jcrawford:  shoudl rember by default for gnome i think. Most of my apps do rember here
[12:46] <jcrawford> xchat, thunderbird, firefox, etc seem to open on the primary display rather than the last position
[12:46] <redliner> kavurt: hmm
[12:46] <jcrawford> i am running gnome
[12:46] <jphillips86> How do I switch the command key and control key on a macbook running ubuntu
[12:46] <Dr_Willis> jcrawford:  firefox rembers here. On my Nvidia/twinview system
[12:46] <krishna> akyapt, yes, boot live cd..  "remove" your ubuntu partition.. reinstall ubuntu   = "remove:" this complelete..
[12:47] <jcrawford> jphillips86, i can help with that
[12:47] <nathan_muir> bye
[12:47] <jcrawford> go to System -> Preferences -> Keyboard
[12:47] <krishna> akyapt, why not try upgrade using updatemanager ?
[12:47] <jcrawford> make sure you choose Apple and Macintosh for the keyboard type
[12:47] <Dr_Willis> jcrawford:  forget that..firefox dont rember. :) it just opens on the 2nd monitor because thats where my IRC client is at.
[12:47] <akyapt> krishna:it takes a along time na
[12:47] <alumno> can anyone help me???
[12:47] <alumno> how do i erase the extra ubuntu partition?
[12:47] <alumno> either in ubuntu or xp?
[12:48] <jcrawford> jphillips86, for what i just said i am talking about the Layout tab :)
[12:48] <jcrawford> once that is done let me know and i will tell you the next step
[12:48] <Dr_Willis> alumno:  use  a live cd, and gparted, or fdisk - is one way Or the xp disk management tools
[12:48] <epinky> alumno: use gparted CD
[12:48] <krishna> akyapt, if your ubuntu is UP TO DATE (has all updates).. then download, alternate.iso and mount it.. its simple because you can pause and resume the download ..
[12:49] <alumno> gparted doesnt work :S
[12:49] <Dr_Willis> alumno:  you may be using it wrong. it works for most people.
[12:49] <alumno> but for gparted i dont need a live cd, do i?
[12:49] <kavurt> alumno: what do you mean "erase"? do you want to format it?
[12:49] <Dr_Willis> alumno:  i often use gparted from a live cd. that way all filesystems are unmounted
[12:49] <akyapt> krishna:i got the cd on request ...and i tried to boot but didint know how to delete the 9.04 partition ...so cancelled it
[12:50] <akyapt> krishna:ya i have all the updates ,but i have the cd...
[12:51] <epinky> alumno: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php , it works most of the time
[12:51] <george> hello
[12:51] <krishna> akyapt, don't.. try downloading alternate iso . because you can pause and resume the download if you slow internet (unlike in update manager)
[12:51] <alumno> kavurt, i have two ubuntu partitions
[12:51] <jcrawford> yay helped my first ubuntu user haha
[12:51] <alumno> cuz one had a problem and broke
[12:51] <alumno> but they didnt delete that partition
[12:51] <krishna> akyapt, the upgrade is very simple..  just mount the alternate and it will start the upgradation process..
[12:51] <alumno> now i cant enter the other ubuntu partition cuz it says i dont have enough memory
[12:52] <Dr_Willis> clarify what you mean by 'enter' ? You mean BOOT? or Mount?
[12:52] <meatbun> does ssh require a login name? is there a way u can use ssh via a name-less login? just password
[12:52] <Dr_Willis> and what is saying what exactly?
[12:53] <Dr_Willis> meatbun:  you can set up ssh with keys  so you dont need to enter a password.. but ive never seen it set where you dont need a login name
[12:54] <meatbun> Dr_Willis, trying to see if i can ssh into router without username, since telnet does not require one
[12:55] <alumno> how do i see how much space ive got on my pc?
[12:55] <alumno> on ubuntu
[12:55] <zaggynl> df -h
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> meatbun:  err.. telnet is proberly defaulting to using your username and you just dont notice it..  of course its been years since i last used telnet
[12:56] <JordanC> Whut u talkin 'bout, Dr_Willis
[12:56] <ActionParsnip> JordanC: awesome!!!
[12:57] <alumno> ok i found this
[12:57] <jcrawford> lol JordanC
[12:57] <alumno> is called ubuntu(on /dev/sda5)
[12:57] <JordanC> :-)
[12:57] <alumno> so how do i erase it
[12:57] <JordanC> I just said it first
[12:57] <JordanC> :D
[12:57] <meatbun> Dr_Willis, telnet has a blank login name.
[12:57] <alumno_> heheh here i am on my pc ÑP
[12:58] <alumno_> :P
[12:58] <Dr_Willis> meatbun:  if you say so. last i used telnet was in college.. and i only use ssh these days
[12:58] <Dr_Willis> meatbun:  somthing seems weird about that statement
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> alumno: you can format the partition, you will lose any data on there which may include your boot info, if it is you will need to reinstate the bootup stuff
[12:58] <alumno> ok i have a problem
[12:58] <alumno> ActionParsnip, i did df -h
[12:58] <whammo> does anybody here have jack working in realtime?

[13:00] <meatbun> Dr_Willis, ok.... i should be using telnet away. i am just trying to compare the features in the router and see what it can cand can't do. or what it will or will not allow
[13:00] <Pirate_Hunter> can someone tell me why my current install of ubuntu server on VB is giving me an ip of 10.0.*.* instead of 192.1.*.*, and every time I set it to static I get SIOCDELRT: No such process and can't access the internet, can anyone help?
[13:00] <Dr_Willis> !emerald
[13:00] <ActionParsnip> alumno_: uname -a     will show you the current kernel. DO NOT remove this. dpkg -l | grep linux-image   will show you the installed kernels. if you remove the older kernels you will save ~120Mb per kernel
[13:00] <epinky> Sapote: viste
[13:00] <solexious> I have just added a user, how can I give them a mail box?
[13:00] <meatbun> Dr_Willis, shouldn't be
[13:00] <JordanC> meatbun: You're trying to telnet into your router? My old router used to have telnet available, but the password was changed every time I admin'd into it
[13:01] <meatbun> JordanC, how?
[13:01] <JordanC> If it's a cisco, you have to use their software
[13:01] <ActionParsnip> alumno: you can also remove openoffice.org (500Mb installed) and install abiword (10Mb installed) and gnumeric (12Mb installed) to save 478Mb space
[13:01] <paschu> I changed my theme with emerald. But when i restart my computer, it has the default theme. what to do=?
[13:01] <Sapote> hi epinky
[13:01] <meatbun> JordanC, i know of no such feature for cisco ios
[13:02] <whammo> is it possible with the surviving pieces left in the repos, get an alsa system running in ubuntu again?
[13:02] <meatbun> JordanC, if what u say is true, could be 3rd party, radius/tacacs
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> paschu: try renaming ~/.emerald   reboot and reset the theme
[13:02] <soul-d> how come without reason   ubuntu made my eth0 disapear on  an acer one mini thingy
[13:02] <Dr_Willis> paschu:  emerald is obsolete. it may be its just not starting emerald by default like it should. Try the 'fusion-icon' tool to see if it can set emerald to be the default decorator
[13:02] <soul-d> afther a  reboot
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> paschu: if its ok after a reboot then , you can delete the old folder
[13:02] <JordanC> meatbun: What type of router is it?
[13:02] <meatbun> 1841
[13:03] <whammo> I'm not looking for anybody to hold my hand, just some confirmation
[13:03] <JordanC> Cisco?
[13:03] <paschu> can only 1 person say the correct solution? :D
[13:03] <meatbun> ya
[13:03] <kostkon> whammo, what do oyu mean?
[13:03] <JordanC> Use SDM
[13:03] <Dr_Willis> paschu:  did ya read the emerald factoid about  "It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix."
[13:03] <meatbun> JordanC, i am using SDM
[13:04] <whammo> kostkon: pulse is unacceptable, but removing it breaks everything. is it possible to rebuild sound system with alsa?
[13:04] <meatbun> JordanC, just messing with ssh/telnet features
[13:04] <paschu> Dr_Willis: negative
[13:04] <Dr_Willis> !emerald | paschu
[13:04] <ActionParsnip> paschu: its linux, theres more than one way to skin a cat
[13:04] <faraway> hi everyone, has someone a good site that describes configure samba on ubuntu so that a windows machine is able to connect. (what already works: the ubuntu machine is listed on windows, but i cant access is, linux and macos are able to access the shares on the ubuntu machine without any problems)
[13:04] <vzhen> hi,  how to use local search stardict  ?     once i disconnected i can't search any word and just releasied it search through internet.   Did you check the tech manual for the defaults?
[13:04] <paschu> then give me some sites with ubuntu skins
[13:04] <Dr_Willis> paschu:  so the best thing to do - would be to forget about emerald. :)
[13:05] <JordanC> That's where that info was for me
[13:05] <Pirate_Hunter> can someone tell me why my current install of ubuntu server on VB is giving me an ip of 10.0.*.* instead of 192.1.*.*, and every time I set it to static I get SIOCDELRT: No such process and can't access the internet, can anyone help?
[13:05] <vzhen> how to use local search stardict  ?     once i disconnected i can't search any word and just releasied it search through internet.  THX
[13:05] <Dr_Willis> paschu:  GNOME is themeable. theres tools to  assist in installing new gnome/metacity/gtk themes. gnome-look.org
[13:05] <meatbun> JordanC, that's ok. no biggy
[13:05] <Sapote> faraway: maybe you add to samba useradd admin with same pass in windows machine
[13:05] <Dr_Willis> Pirate_Hunter:  virtualbox networkiong defaults to being on a 'subnet/nat' type setup. Not the same ip range as the real network. see the virtualbox docs
[13:06] <kostkon> whammo, ok, you don;t like pulse.... eh, search the forums, there are many pulse removal how-tos that should work even on 9.10
[13:06] <solexious> I have just added a user, how can I give them a mail box? I'm using postfix
[13:06] <Sapote> Pirate_Hunter: try with sudo or root
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> !themes | pashcu
[13:07] <Sapote> Pirate_Hunter: anyway configure /etc/network/interfaces with static
[13:07] <Dr_Willis> eyecandy causes ocular cavities. :)

[13:20] <puckman> Good afternoon.
[13:20] <puckman> Is anyone having problems running dpkg-reconfigure on ubunto 9.10 ?
[13:21] <mrXX> puckman whats up
[13:21] <kostkon> riivo, i have a much much better app for you
[13:21] <kostkon> !info tucan | riivo
[13:21] <puckman> mrXX: just installed 9.10 on a little ACER netbook
[13:21] <puckman> and it's not seeing the 1280x800 resolution
[13:22] <shay27> om26er: yes , and worked before until i set my dsl connection using the pppoeconf command
[13:22] <puckman> last time I had that with version 9.04 I ran dpkg-reconfigure to add the resolution but it does not seem to run
[13:22] <kostkon> riivo, you can even get the latest ver from getdeb.net
[13:22] <puckman> it will ask for my password and then just returns a prompt
[13:22] <puckman> any ideas?
[13:22] <mrXX> puckman oops, serious problem i think, i had that problem before and i couldnt do anything, i had to reinstall it
[13:23] <mrXX> puckman others might be able to help you
[13:23] <mrXX> puckman do you get a grub command shell?
[13:23] <puckman> mrXX: I can log on fine but stuck with a 1024x768 res
[13:24] <kostkon> riivo, http://tucaneando.com/ for more info
[13:25] <Dougal> Having trouble extracting Audio CDs with Soundjuicer: The MP3 option is listed but not selectable, and I don't want to use any of the other options.
[13:25] <Dougal> Anyone know much about soundjuicer? or a better room to ask the question in?
[13:25] <kostkon> Dougal, fresh installation?
[13:25] <disappearedng> Hey for passwordless ssh is there another way to identify a host without the IP
[13:26] <riivo> kostkon, will it run without x?
[13:26] <shay27> what is the command to erase flash disk ?
[13:26] <Dougal> kostkon: is that a suggestion? or a question? If it's a question I've had ubuntu installed for well over a year now, but i've never used it to rip tracks to mp3 before
[13:26] <Sapote> sassyn: dd
[13:26] <kostkon> riivo, ah! don't know :S maybe not
[13:26] <Sapote> sassyn: dd if=/dev/sdxx  of=zero
[13:27] <kostkon> Dougal, ok
[13:27] <Zane2> is there a restore fuction in ubuntu?
[13:27] <ActionParsnip> puckman: have you read any guides on the model? You may need to find an xorg.conf to make it use the res you want
[13:27] <bazhang> Zane2, from sbackup or backintime-gnome ?
[13:27] <Bondes_Gift> hi
[13:27] <ActionParsnip> Zane2: how do you mean?
[13:28] <Zane2> i'm about to try and install somthnig for the 1st time, but if i have problmems i want to know if i can go back.
[13:28] <Zane2> like how vista, you can go back to before the install of apps
[13:28] <riivo> kostkon, i need something to use in a server without x over ssh
[13:29] <Dougal> kostkon: the 'selection' dropdown only has four options, but when i go to edit the list, another two magically appear. With a bit of fiddling and editing i've discovered that it just won't display an option if the 'Gstreamer piplene' is set to the MP3 setting. Or to the AAC setting. Perhaps i need to get these codecs from somewhere?
[13:29] <ActionParsnip> Zane2: you can uninstall the app, if it upgrades an app from a PPA repo, you can simply remove the PPA then reinstall the app to get the old, there is no restore point stuff like windows
[13:29] <kostkon> riivo, it has a cli interface and as i can see http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/tucan it doesn't have any x related deps, so i don't, it may work
[13:29] <ActionParsnip> Zane2: you could make an image of the partition in a liveCD then put it back if the system screws up
[13:29] <bazhang> !info backintime-common | Zane2
[13:29] <Sapote> Zane2: in linux you can remove apps without problems

[13:31] <irwan> hi
[13:31] <riivo> kostkon, is it possible to install .deb's just for my user without having root permissions?
[13:31] <Zane2> i used ghost to back up my hard drive, but when i tryed to restore it, it didnt work, i got an erroe in grub, error 15. i got both 9.10 ubun and win7 installed
[13:32] <kostkon> riivo, don't think so
[13:32] <Dr_Willis> riivo:  no its not.
[13:32] <paschu> the "pcsx" playstation emulator doesnt run. It stops to load after i inserted the iso image
[13:32] <wapko> how do i set the time it takes for my monitor to turn off on my server..
[13:33] <Dougal> kostkon: where can i find out more information about that package? will a google search tell me all i need to know?
[13:33] <muep_> riivo: I guess you could have a private chrootable ubuntu tree under your home dir

[13:33] <hylman> hi ... can anyone help me with microphone on asus 1005ha?
[13:33] <muep_> riivo: but it's not very straightforward
[13:33] <renata> hello, if I want to install ubuntu over another distro, how is that possible, what should I do not to loose data?
[13:34] <kostkon> Dougal, or http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/ubuntu-restricted-extras or in synaptic
[13:34] <jrib> renata: well you should back up your data no matter what.  But is your /home on a separate partition?
[13:34] <riivo> muep_, but there has to be a way to compile it from source and intstall in to my home dir. i'm looking into it now
[13:34] <motu> hefe
[13:34] <hylman> anyone have the same problem with microphone on asus 1005ha?
[13:35] <motu> ich trinke hefe trallala
[13:35] <motu> hefe hell
[13:35] <renata> jrib, yes, i use opensuse with gnome, /home is separate. But I fear that setting files in /home will make new install programs mad
[13:35] <bazhang> !de | motu
[13:35] <motu> und schnell
[13:35] <motu> sorry ;)
[13:36] <jrib> renata: shouldn't matter.  If something does go wrong, just delete the corresponding settings folder and reconfigure that app
[13:36] <Dr_Willis> renata:  then mount  the old home to /media/wastheoldhome and copy over what data you need as needed..
[13:37] <Blues-Man> hi all
[13:37] <Dr_Willis> renata:  shareing /home btween different disrtos can  take some fixing of the owner/permissions of the files also
[13:37] <Blues-Man> after installed pidgin with extras for xmpp voice I cannot hear anything from firefox or vlc
[13:37] <renata> jrib, Dr_Willis ok thanks, I need to do back up first anyway, thanks
[13:38] <Blues-Man> only KDE sounds (amarok, etc)
[13:38] <Blues-Man> I read about pulseaudio, but I haven't understood how to fix

[13:39] <kostkon> Dougal, :)
[13:39] <vivek> to recover the data

[13:43] <catmando> any ideas?

[13:44] <python_root1> Dooglus lyrics may be the problem

[13:45] <om26er_> bazhang, thanx. now installing
[13:45] <dooglus> python_root1: lyrics with ID3 tags?
[13:45] <om26er_> dooglus, you might have some wma files cuz i get it too when i scan my media library with rhythmbox
[13:46] <dooglus> ActionParsnip: in addition to what?  that thread is a little inconclusive
[13:46] <jcrawford> dooglus, sounds like you have it on shuffle or it is playing song after song and hitting a file type that it does not support.  It should be smarter and just ignore filetypes it cannot play IMO but that sounds like the issue
[13:46] <dooglus> jcrawford: I didn't play anything at all.  I ran rhythmbox.  it scans my music on startup even if I don't ask it to play anything
[13:47] <kostkon> jcrawford, unfortunatelly, rhtyhm doesn't ignore unknown filetypes
[13:47] <jcrawford> dooglus, ah that makes sense if it is scanning upon launch
[13:47] <jcrawford> yea someone should submit a patch for that :)
[13:47] <vivek> sir can you help
