[17:01] <smc> Get_A_Fix, I've never used LVM ether, like I said this server is just a play/learning thing. Since I have this box I don't need and do need a LAN backup method.

[17:02] <JohnnyL> How do you un rar a .rar file?

[17:03] <dadush777> Ok , so I upgraded my Ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10 successfuly (via Update Manager) but now, I can't see the new SoundMenu and whenever I close RhythmBox it quits instead of showing in the upper panel, what can I do?
[17:03] <X-Sleepy-X> pat|nG:  ssh ipaddres -p portnumber -l username
[17:04] <Get_A_Fix> smc: good question, but one i don't know the answer to - i've been using ubuntu for about 3 days, and even then, it's 6.10
[17:04] <Get_A_Fix> i am in the process of upgrading
[17:04] <Get_A_Fix> slowly
[17:04] <CL1FF> how can I apply a .patch file to a linux kernel?
[17:04] <orbit> how do i turn off the password prompt on boot and timeout -10.04
[17:04] <phaedra> dadush777, you need to ask that in #ubuntu+1 for 10.10
[17:04] <dadush777> oh ok thanks
[17:04] <lmg_> Hi there
[17:04] <phaedra> dadush777, np
[17:05] <lmg_> I have a problem with a wg311v3 wifi PCI card
[17:05] <X-Sleepy-X> lmg_: you probably need the windows driver
[17:05] <lmg_> I loaded the drivers with ndiswrapper, but it is not detected
[17:05] <Get_A_Fix> CL1FF: patch -p1 -i /usr/share/kernel-package/kernel-package.patch.txt
[17:06] <Get_A_Fix> with the appropriate editing, of course.
[17:06] <pat|nG> omg....i just red a blog session about bypassing blocked sites using ubuntu.....it stated there that i should use ssh on it to bypass blocked sites is this true?
[17:06] <lmg_> X-Sleepy-X, ndiswrapper says it see the card. (device present...) but there is no such thing as wlan0
[17:06] <X-Sleepy-X> lmg_: type lspci in the terminal and then find the info about the card, google on that info and you'll find guides on how to fix it..
[17:06] <Get_A_Fix> pat|nG: i think they may have meant a 'ssh tunnel'
[17:06] <X-Sleepy-X> i checked it myself
[17:06] <X-Sleepy-X> have the card
[17:06] <lmg_> X-Sleepy-X, I already did that
[17:06] <pat|nG> Get_A_Fix , how can i do that?
[17:06] <CL1FF> Get_A_Fix, thanx ill give it a shot.
[17:07] <pat|nG> any idea?
[17:07] <X-Sleepy-X> pat|nG: you want to connect to your own pc?
[17:07] <pat|nG> cause im here in arab country and mostly my fave sites are blocked
[17:07] <Get_A_Fix> pat|nG: you may have to consult google, it's a rather awkward process
[17:07] <lmg_> X-Sleepy-X, this is not my primary work station, but I think I remember it to work some times ago
[17:07] <Stealth-> Eughhh people, I just deleted a partition and I accidentally broke GRUB
[17:07] <Get_A_Fix> there should be docs on the ubuntu wiki though, i think
[17:07] <Stealth-> None of the online guides work as I cant run grub from the terminal, its not letting me
[17:08] <pat|nG> Get_A_Fix i just did
[17:08] <pat|nG> but nothing states about those steps
[17:08] <pat|nG> i dunno
[17:08] <Stealth-> Can someone please help because I think i may have broke my computer
[17:08] <lmg_> X-Sleepy-X, I just don't understand why it is not shown by iwconfig
[17:08] <X-Sleepy-X> lmg_: i cant remeber how to fix it though, was a while ago i did so and i dont have ubuntu on that pc anymore.

[17:08] <Stealth-> And I dont know what to do now.
[17:09] <Gnea> Stealth-: good, then you should still be able to recover it
[17:09] <orbit> bring it up with "ifconfig wlan0 up
[17:09] <Gnea> !recover | Stealth-
[17:09] <Stealth-> Gnea I dont want to recover the old data
[17:09] <Stealth-> I just want to get GRUB back without getting the old partition back
[17:09] <lmg_> X-Sleepy-X, arf, too bad. You don't have any clue on where to look?
[17:09] <Stealth-> I really need help here

[17:10] <Stealth-> SDA5 with Ubuntu Netbook Remix
[17:10] <Stealth-> i still have windows 7 and Ubuntu desktop on it
[17:10] <plouffe> I'm trying to install ubuntu or xubuntu on an old laptop, but the mouse doesn't get recognized. The mouse works on windows though. What could I do to make it work on (x)ubuntu live cd?
[17:11] <Stealth-> Someone said this might happen gnea but I am really scared at the moment, I dont know what to do.
[17:11] <Gnea> Stealth-: well, heh, if ubuntu remix was the last thing you installed on there, there's a good chance that it controlled grub
[17:11] <X-Sleepy-X> lmg_: i used this search term... http://www.google.com/search?hl=sv&q=wg311v3+ubuntu+solved&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=
[17:11] <Stealth-> No gnea, I installed Desktop  on it last.
[17:11] <Stealth-> For some reason it controlled grub, someone on this IRC said there was a small chance of thos
[17:11] <Stealth-> But Gnea, have I lost my computer and is it fixable?
[17:11] <Gnea> Stealth-: so how do you know that GRUB is gone?
[17:11] <Stealth-> Gnea when i try to boot the computer it wont work
[17:11] <erUSUL> Stealth-: follow the procedure on reinstalling grub after installing windows from the grub2 wiki page
[17:11] <Gnea> Stealth-: can't answer that until you stop asking that and answer my questions.
[17:12] <erUSUL> !grub2 | Stealth-
[17:12] <lmg_> X-Sleepy-X, well, the problem is that the card is said to work by ndiswrapper, but not shown by iwconfig
[17:12] <Stealth-> Gnea, what do you need to know?
[17:12] <Gnea> Stealth-: that doesn't tell me anything. what does it SAY?
[17:12] <X-Sleepy-X> lmg_: and you've modprobed?
[17:12] <Stealth-> Ermm, It gives me a error message with grub, not sure about the exact words
[17:12] <lmg_> X-Sleepy-X, yep, ndiswrapper is in lsmod
[17:12] <iwonio> xdcc send#/ctcp ext|software|000 xdcc send #59
[17:12] <Stealth-> Its a blank screen, it has Grub written on it, and it allows me to write commands

[17:12] <ColinT> Deja vu
[17:13] <Gnea> Stealth-: oh, then grub wasn't removed
[17:13] <Gnea> Stealth-: the only thing gone is the grub.cfg, you're fine
[17:13] <Hounddog> i am looking for the ssh log... i mean the log which logs everything that was typed in ssh... if there is one

[17:13] <Lxndr> I am attempting to upgrade my ubuntu from Hardy Heron (8.04) to Lucid Lynx(?) 10.04. Unfortunately, every time I try I get the following error: "Error during commit. 'E:Couldn't configure pre-depend jre for openoffice.org-writer2latex, probably a dependency cycle.' Restoring original system data." How can I avoid this error and successfully upgrade?
[17:13] <pat|nG> anyone got any idea how to access blocked sites?
[17:13] <X-Sleepy-X> lmg_: can u post me the output of lscpi on pastebin ?
[17:13] <erUSUL> Hounddog: no; there is none.
[17:13] <lmg_> X-Sleepy-X, ok.
[17:13] <Stealth-> I can get the error message for you but it might take me a few minutes to get it then start the computer up again
[17:13] <Gnea> Stealth-: you just need to use the commandline to boot it into Desktop now so you can restore the grub.cfg
[17:13] <Hounddog> erUSUL damn
[17:14] <Stealth-> Ok gnea
[17:14] <Gnea> Stealth-: nah, if you can use the commandline form of grub when it boots, then you're just fine
[17:14] <Stealth-> How do i boot it into desktop using that command promt, and how do I fix it from desktop?
[17:14] <Stealth-> and yeah I can Gnea
[17:14] <andreiutz> Hi, I connect my laptop to the internet in 2 ways: with an usb-ethernet adapter and sometimes with a wireless modem from huawei. I configured the usb-ethernet adapter in /etc/network/interfaces and the dns's in resolv.conf but sometimes when after I use the wireless modem and want to use again the usb-ethernet adapter the resolv.conf file is empty. Why ?
[17:14] <Get_A_Fix> pat|nG: a ssh tunnel is the easiest method (for those that know a thing or two about linux+networking)
[17:14] <erUSUL> Hounddog: you can consult the user's history file ( if he did not remove / mess / temperwith it )
[17:14] <lmg_> X-Sleepy-X, http://paste.ubuntu.com/488341/
[17:14] <Gnea> Stealth-: you just have to type out the commands that grub.cfg would normally issue
[17:14] <Get_A_Fix> for those, like us, that don't, there are webproxy sites
[17:14] <Stealth-> I dont know what it would normally issue Gnea
[17:15] <Get_A_Fix> pat|nG: another thing, i believe firefox uses a proxy addon, for browsing
[17:15] <pat|nG> Get_A_Fix how can i do that? mind if u tell me the basics? i'll do the rest of it i just want to know the basics
[17:15] <Gnea> Stealth-: well, first thing to do is to figure out which partition you're booting from
[17:15] <plouffe> Lxndr, I think you have to upgrade step by step: 8.04 -> 8.10 -> 9.04
[17:15] <Stealth-> Ok gnea
[17:15] <erUSUL> Lxndr: form 8.04 you can jump to 10.04
[17:15] <Stealth-> I was booting from SDA5 gnea
[17:15] <Get_A_Fix> pat|nG: using google to search 'webproxy' - you'll find a ton of results
[17:15] <Gnea> Stealth-: so you need to bring up that grub doc and read up on the 'root' command
[17:15] <Stealth-> How do i do that gnea?
[17:15] <TeaRex> Hello all! I wonder did anybody have any luck with gcc-4.5 and the new -flto -fuse-linker-plugin options in Maverick?
[17:15] <Gnea> Stealth-: okay, so (0,4)
[17:15] <erUSUL> plouffe: from 8.04 you can jump to 10.04 ( becouse both are LTS )
[17:15] <Pyppe> Hi. ran apt-get upgrade yesterday. after boot I get an error message "cryptsetup: lvm device name (/dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxxxx) does not begin with /dev/mapper/". how to proceed? :O
[17:16] <tull> Why the Gnome Help the first time is so slow to start?
[17:16] <Gnea> !grub2 | Stealth-
[17:16] <Stealth-> Ok gnea
[17:16] <Hounddog> erUSUL i just want the log of what i myself did :)
[17:16] <erUSUL> TeaRex: #ubuntu+1 or #c
[17:16] <Stealth-> So what do i do from this thing
[17:16] <pat|nG> if i'll try to do that i'll get a blocked site window
[17:16] <pat|nG> hehe
[17:16] <Stealth-> And btw, it was not calld GRUB2, it was just called GRUB
[17:16] <Gnea> !grub | Stealth-
[17:16] <TeaRex> @erUSUL : thanks!
[17:16] <erUSUL> Hounddog: then see your history file. you will see the commands you used ( no the output )
[17:16] <Hounddog> thats enough :)
[17:17] <erUSUL> Hounddog: the file is ~/.bash_history
[17:17] <X-Sleepy-X> lmg_: if you get it working i think it will only work with wep though
[17:17] <Stealth-> Gnea, looking at it now mate, gimme 5
[17:17] <X-Sleepy-X> lmg_: im trying to find some useful info still
[17:17] <plouffe> I'm trying to install ubuntu or xubuntu on an old laptop, but the mouse doesn't get recognized. The mouse works on windows though. What could I do to make it work on (x)ubuntu live cd?
[17:17] <Gnea> Stealth-: sure, but I have to go do things
[17:17] <Hounddog> erUSUL thanks, i set up one server and have to setup the next... just wanted to copy what i did hehe
[17:17] <Stealth-> Ok gnea, thanks for the help
[17:17] <Gnea> Stealth-: give it a good read and come back, I'm sure someone else can help you from there, good luck
[17:17] <Stealth-> Ok mate, thanks
[17:18] <erUSUL> Stealth-: if ubuntu is recent enough you need the grub2 instructions
[17:18] <lmg_> X-Sleepy-X, not a problem, I am in the middle of nowhere, and I even have removed the WEP protection (only mac filtering)
[17:18] <X-Sleepy-X> lmg_: two links for you: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/ndiswrapper/index.php?title=Netgear_WG311v3 and http://linuxcompatible.org/Netgear_WG311v3_WLAN_PCI_Card_with_Debian_Linux_Testing_t33271.html
[17:18] <Stealth-> ErUSL, I think it is grub 2
[17:18] <Stealth-> grub-install (GNU GRUB 1.98-1ubuntu7)
[17:18] <Stealth-> Thats what I get in the terminal
[17:18] <erUSUL> !grub2 | Stealth-
[17:18] <lmg_> X-Sleepy-X, thank you, I'll check that.
[17:18] <Stealth-> ok mate
[17:19] <X-Sleepy-X> lmg_: i hope u'll get it to work!
[17:19] <X-Sleepy-X> lmg_: i have to run off now
[17:19] <andreiutz> Hi, I connect my laptop to the internet in 2 ways: with an usb-ethernet adapter and sometimes with a wireless modem from huawei.

What should I do ?
[17:19] <lmg_> X-Sleepy-X, ok bye
[17:19] <X-Sleepy-X> bye
[17:19] <Stealth-> erUSUL, would you mind helping me with the reinstall?
[17:20] <erUSUL> Stealth-: if you have specific problems following the instructions i can help
[17:20] <Stealth-> Ok mate, thanks
[17:21] <Stealth-> erUSUL, I am reading the guide but not getting what it means by this, lemme pastebin the output
[17:21] <sacarlson> andreiutz: I write a script that sets up my static stuf.  dhclient overwrites the /etc/resolv.conf so my script copies a template for my static over it when it's ran.
[17:22] <Stealth-> erUSUL  http://pastebin.com/cZMpStn8
[17:22] <erUSUL> Stealth-: you want the Reinstalling from LiveCD Section in the wiki page. follow the first method showed there labeled "SIMPLEST - Copy GRUB 2 Files from the LiveCD"
[17:22] <Stealth-> Ok mate
[17:22] <hd23> hello
[17:22] <TeaRex> erUSUL, sorry for disturbing you again, but #c is invite-only. Can you invite me?
[17:23] <erUSUL> TeaRex: i'm not there. maybe what you need is to register?
[17:23] <erUSUL> !register | TeaRex
[17:24] <erUSUL> TeaRex: i can join so you will have to register.
[17:24] <Stealth-> erUSUL I am getting a error here D=

[17:26] <Guest24088> good luck
[17:26] <Stealth-> i am getting 1 or 2 errors but lets see what happens
[17:26] <lmg_> What does that mean when lshw -C network gives network UNCLAIMED
[17:27] <erUSUL> TeaRex: no problem
[17:27] <jstoone> janisozaur; thanks I'll try that, I've tried to du "sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun" and it did something just don't know how to check if it actually has become my default.
[17:28] <handjob> Hi again. I made iso with atpnocd and dropped it onto netless machine. The joy ended when I realized the the other maching don't have aptnocd installed. What to do now in order to perform sysytem update?
[17:28] <janisozaur> jstoone, the way i do this is simply remove any other jvms
[17:28] <erUSUL> jstoone: i prefer « sudo update-alternatives --config java »
 I wasnt able to patch the kernel. tried it in different ways and kept getting errors from the terminal.
[17:28] <erUSUL> handjob: you have to add the cdrom as software source.
[17:29] <handjob> erUSUL: I mounted iso under /media/cdrom. I need to add that path to sources.list?
[17:29] <TeaRex> @jstone IIRC you can just say java -version to see what is your default
[17:29] <Get_A_Fix> CL1FF: you type the command from your /usr/src/linux* dir
[17:30] <erUSUL> handjob: sudo losetup apt_on_cd_image.iso && sudo apt-cdrom add /dev/loop0
[17:30] <janisozaur> erUSUL, I realise I have a different keyboard layout, but I wonder how do you input « (<<) and » (>>) characters?
[17:30] <handjob> erUSUL: I will try that. Thx.
[17:30] <jstoone> erUSUL, janisozaur: I did the "--config java" and I've now got the little "*" in front of SunJava (: which means that it's my default right?
[17:30] <erUSUL> janisozaur: altgr + z and x
[17:31] <erUSUL> jstoone: correct
[17:31] <jstoone> erUSUL: Great, thanks (:
[17:31] <janisozaur> jstoone, you can type "which java" and "java -version" to verify

[17:36] <CL1FF> Get_A_Fix, Im folowing that but still get the error. I think it may be because my file is just .patch and not .patch.txt like ur example
[17:36] <incandenza> jstoone: that's normal.  it's not really three different things, just three parts of the java install
[17:36] <Get_A_Fix> CL1FF: yes, you're supposed to edit it accordinally
[17:37] <Get_A_Fix> i gave it as an example
[17:37] <handjob> erUSUL: performing the mentioned command i get 'inappropriate ioctrl for device'.

[17:37] <_Brun0_> janisozaur: according to this: http://www.pastebin.ca/1932874 it is probably my mouse?
[17:37] <janisozaur> jstoone, "java -version" tells you what actual java is. since file returned by "which java" is a symlink, you can see where to it points by recursively executing "file `which java`"
[17:37] <bummer> Hi. What key should i press in order for the grub menu to appear? It just boots a kernel without asking me anything...
[17:38] <edbian> bummer, New grub = shift old grub = escape
[17:38] <stealth_> Help
[17:38] <stealth_> My ubuntu live CD has broke now from trying to install grub
[17:38] <bummer> edbian , I m just supposed to keep the key pressed or I m supposed to keep pressing it?
[17:38] <sebsebseb> stealth_: Live CD is broke?
[17:38] <lestat> hi everyone
[17:39] <erUSUL> handjob: http://www.debianhelp.org/node/10486
[17:39] <stealth_> sebsebseb, I tried reinstalling grub, it did ot work. Grub now loads from my USB device with a command promt
[17:39] <janisozaur> _Brun0_, sorry, I don't know how to interpret this. maybe there is #x or #xorg on freenode, where you could also try
[17:39] <stealth_> I only now have SLAX on a USB stick I can use on my laptop
[17:39] <edbian> bummer, You have to press it at the pivotal moment.  After the bios post before the Ubuntu logo.  The secrect way to accomplish this is to press it a lot.  Like 2 times a second ought to do it.
[17:39] <stealth_> sebsebseb: I really need help here,I cant access my laptop
[17:39] <erUSUL> _Brun0_: 10.10 issues are handled in #ubuntu+1
[17:39] <jstoone> janisozaur: I must admit I didn't fully understand the "file 'which java'" part :S
[17:39] <edbian> bummer, If the system speaker starts beeping at your in a wild and obnoxious manner that means you've pressed it too many times and the system is overloaded with key presses and is ignoring you.
[17:39] <itsjustme> where are my buttons.. they are missing again and alt-f2 brings up run box metacity but doesn't open the met window
[17:39] <erUSUL> _Brun0_: oops sorry. you said 10.04 ...
[17:40] <sebsebseb> stealth_: ok I haven't been following  your issue, realy, so whats up?
[17:40] <janisozaur> jstoone, if you wish, you can read "man file"
[17:40] <handjob> erUSUL: Sorry to bether You. I am running out of time. I think that maybe fastes way would be to generate install script of aptoncd install it and the perform the iso install. Can You tell me what software is used for making such a script?
[17:40] <sebsebseb> stealth_: Why are you doing stuff with Grub or trying to and the Live CD?
[17:40] <xangua> itsjustme: metacity --replace > enter
[17:40] <stealth_> sebsebseb, deleted a partition, it messed up grub so I get a error message when I start my computer. I tried reinstalling GRUB2 from my liveCD, but it instead just messed up my liveCD
[17:40] <stealth_> I need help ASAP
[17:41] <erUSUL> handjob: i do not know what script you are talking about. the page a linkled has simple instructions
[17:41] <CL1FF> Get_A_Fix, yea I know I changed it in the command but it outputs everything as hunks failed. If it helps Im trying to patch this file: http://code.google.com/p/vaio-f11-linux/downloads/detail?name=enable-internal-microphone.patch
[17:41] <handjob> erUSUL: OK.thx again.
[17:41] <erUSUL> handjob: no problem
[17:41] <stealth_> the error message i get with my comp[uter sebsebseb is "eror unknown filesystem" Grub rescue>
[17:41] <sebsebseb> stealth_: ok which partition did you delete?
[17:42] <stealth_> SDA5
[17:42] <sebsebseb> stealth_: and what was that partition being used for?
[17:42] <stealth_> Ubuntu Netbook Remix
[17:42] <DroidLx> i just tried upgrading from v 8.04 to v 10.04. something wonky came about and now i can only boot into a CLI interface. is there a CLI command to upgrade?
[17:42] <stealth_> It was the one controlling grub X.X
[17:42] <sebsebseb> stealth_: ok so you have a net book?
[17:42] <stealth_> 7yes sebsebseb
[17:42] <sebsebseb> stealth_: oh  your  the one, who had  desktop version installed and netbook?
[17:42] <erUSUL> DroidLx: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade
[17:42] <janisozaur> sebsebseb, stealth_, if the case is only deleted (and not formated) partition, I've had luck with gpart in the past
[17:42] <jstoone> janisozaur: Ah, ok (: well some tutorials on the internet says that i have to put a line in the jvm file.. but it doesn't seem to exist any longer?
[17:42] <rag> Enter text here...any1 tere
[17:42] <stealth_> Yeah sebsebseb
[17:43] <itsjustme> wow... docky required composition to work.. how do I get it back again and HOW do I keep it from changing
[17:43] <jstoone> janisozaur: it should be located at /etc/jvm
[17:43] <stealth_> i have a command promt for GRUB, I can type things into it
[17:43] <sebsebseb> stealth_: yeah Grub is a pain if you delete the wrong /boot
[17:43] <stealth_> But its saying "Unknown FIlesystem" sebsebseb
[17:43] <sebsebseb> stealth_: of course
[17:43] <rag> ubuntu 10.04 internet problem any 1 tere about this problem
[17:43] <sebsebseb> stealth_: since /boot is gone
[17:43] <stealth_> Yeah
[17:43] <sebsebseb> stealth_: wait
[17:43] <sebsebseb> stealth_: your getting a command prompt, when?
[17:43] <stealth_> When I try to start computer
[17:43] <bummer> Ok... so, neither ESC neither SHIFT worked... there is no file called /boot/grub/menu.lst . How do i change grub (last ubuntu version) in order to tell me to have time to choose
[17:43] <bummer> ?
[17:43] <janisozaur> jstoone, does anything require /etc/jvm?
[17:43] <stealth_> It is a grub command promt thing
[17:44] <fregoMT> anyone know of an automated way to submit info on a web form?
[17:44] <erUSUL> bummer: /etc/default/grub
[17:44] <stealth_> It says GRUB RESUCE > _
[17:44] <erUSUL> bummer: the various timeout variables
[17:44] <stealth_> i can type things into it
[17:44] <sebsebseb> stealth_: trying to re install Grub 2 properly will be a pain, expesaily if your new
[17:44] <edbian> bummer, Here is complete grub documentation https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[17:44] <janisozaur> fregoMT, addons.mozilla.org?
[17:44] <stealth_> sebsebseb, can you helpme?
[17:44] <erUSUL> bummer: you have to run sudo update-grub after editing it
[17:44] <bummer> erUSUL, thanks man
[17:44] <sebsebseb> stealth_: Whats up with the Live CD?
[17:45] <stealth_> L:et me get it and tell you what it says
[17:45] <erUSUL> !grub2 > bummer
[17:45] <sebsebseb> stealth_: also I think proper net books don't even come with a CD drive by the way
[17:45] <fregoMT> janisozaur> I'll take a look - Thanks!
[17:45] <itsjustme> xangua now docky requires composition to work.. How do i get it back and Keep it from changing
[17:45] <stealth_> my netbook does not have a CD drive
[17:45] <stealth_> I have a USB stick with ubuntu on it
[17:45] <jstoone> janisozaur: no but I was just slightly confused because I just follow the instructions from a-z.
[17:46] <xangua> itsjustme: compiz --replace
[17:46] <stealth_> Right
[17:46] <sebsebseb> stealth_: Grub 2 sucks,  the old version of Grub is easier to do stuff with,  but for either version when it comes to partitions,  I woudn't want to mess with,  and I know a work around for your issue, but not really the best thing to do I guess.
[17:46] <sebsebseb> stealth_: yes a work around,  rather than a fix the Grub you got on there.
[17:46] <janisozaur> jstoone, consider your java configured. eclipse should work. had it complained about not having /etc/jvm or anything else, come back and state your problem ;)
[17:47] <stealth_> sebsebseb, when I boot live CD, I get the following. "Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the firest word, tab loists possible command completions. ANyebre e,se tab lists possable device or file complitations
[17:47] <jstoone> janisozaur: Hey, everything works now, and thank you so much for you patience (:
[17:47] <stealth_> It SHOULD display the Ubuntu Opening Menu
[17:47] <sebsebseb> stealth_: make a new Live CD using another computer, and try that?
[17:47] <BluesKaj> hmm, just discovered that I have no tty prompts , ctrl,alt,f1 gives a blank screen , ctrl,alt,f7 brings back the desktop. tho.... what's happening here ?
[17:47] <stealth_> Sebsebseb, I can ok
[17:47] <lnewlfe> can anyone give me a rundown on setting up my wireless on a 9.10 system? Im on windows atm...
[17:47] <janisozaur> jstoone, you're welcome
[17:47] <itsjustme> xangua   Thanks for your help//  How do I KEEP these setting without having to go through it again next time I reboot
[17:47] <jstoone> janisozaur: and no Eclipse does not complain at all (:
[17:47] <sebsebseb> stealth_: also when making Live CD's
[17:47] <sebsebseb> stealth_: check that your ISO is good bofore burning contents to CD
[17:47] <sebsebseb> !md5sum | stealth_
[17:47] <sebsebseb> !hashes | stealth_
[17:48] <stealth_> Sebsebseb, I have a SLAX usb device here
[17:48] <BluesKaj> !tty
[17:48] <facelessloser> hi all
[17:48] <stealth_> I can use that prehaps seb?
[17:48] <sebsebseb> stealth_: Have you got data on the computer?
[17:48] <stealth_> yes
[17:48] <facelessloser> i need some help with tttytter
[17:48] <DroidLx> something bizarre just happened to my laptop while attempting an upgrade from 8.04 to 10.04. it now only boots to a command line interface and nothing seems to be working. how can i reinstall ubuntu through simply aptitude?
[17:48] <stealth_> Its still all on there sebsebseb
[17:48] <anthon> hello any one know the ubuntu social net on irc?
[17:48] <xangua> itsjustme: no idea what you did in first place
[17:48] <stealth_> sebsebseb, I have a SLAX usb device here
[17:48] <itsjustme> xangua I started my computer
[17:48] <sebsebseb> stealth_: probably easiest thing is to use a Live CD  or  sure SLAX USB if you like,  access data with that,  put it on a external hard disk or CD or whatever,  then re install Ubuntu, or put on another distro :)
[17:48] <stealth_> I just checked and it works
[17:48] <xangua> anthon: #ubuntu-offtopic ¿
[17:48] <janisozaur> !ask | facelessloser
[17:49] <anthon> thank you
[17:49] <edbian> DroidLx, You can try sudo aptitude -f install which will attempt to fix broken packages.  It should recognize an unfinished upgrade as well and walk you through it.
[17:49] <stealth_> Ok sebsebseb
[17:49] <itsjustme> xangua I started my computer  But ok thanks for your time
[17:49] <todd_> #java
[17:49] <BluesKaj> DroidLx, unfortunately you can't skip over other releases to get fro 8.04 to 10.04
[17:49] <facelessloser> im having trouble running ttytter is just says that it stops at lines 451 and 247
[17:49] <sebsebseb> stealth_: well  Unity is just round the corner for 10.10 netbook edition, so may as well have the netbook edition on there, I guess
[17:49] <edbian> DroidLx, Make sense?
[17:50] <stealth_> sebsebseb
[17:50] <janisozaur> BluesKaj, wasn't it a feature of LTS to upgrade directly into another lts?
[17:51] <stealth_> AM I going to be able to use my computer again normally?
[17:51] <sebsebseb> stealth_: trying to fix  Grub or Grub 2 is a pain,  so for newbies, much easier to just re install the OS
[17:51] <stealth_> i am really worried
[17:51] <stealth_> Ok
[17:51] <DroidLx> edbian: i just tried that but nothing seems to have changed. just errors.
[17:51] <edbian> DroidLx, What kind of errors are you getting?
[17:51] <stealth_> if I could fix my old ubuntu live CD i would be sorted D=
[17:52] <edbian> DroidLx, This may be obvious but in a healthy system sudo aptitude -f install will exit after doing nothing.
[17:52] <alkisg> stealth_: if you can't boot with an ubuntu live cd, how did you install in the first place?
[17:52] <stealth_> alkisg, I did but I messed the ubuntu live CD up just now installing grub
[17:52] <denny> my system has recently (last week or two) stopped recognising DVDs when I put them in.  Logs are full of "VFS: busy inodes on changed media or resized disk sr0" - is there a known solution for this?
[17:52] <plouffe> I'm trying to install ubuntu or xubuntu on an old laptop, but the mouse doesn't get recognized. The mouse works on windows though. What could I do to make it work on (x)ubuntu live cd?
[17:52] <alkisg> stealth_: ok, but if it's a live cd, you didn't write anything to it, right? you can boot from it again...
[17:53] <stealth_> No alkisg, it gives me a GRUB menu from the live USB
[17:53] <stealth_> alkisg when I boot live CD, I get the following. "Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the firest word, tab loists possible command completions. ANyebre e,se tab lists possable device or file complitations
[17:53] <stealth_> sorry for typos trying to type blind
[17:53] <alkisg> stealth_: are you using a usb stick, on which you have written grub?
[17:53] <stealth_> yes by accident I think
[17:53] <alkisg> stealth_: or a live cd, which CANNOT be messed up?
[17:54] <stealth_> USB stick
[17:54] <alkisg> stealth_: ok, you need to create a new one then
[17:54] <stealth_> Ok
[17:54] <stealth_> I am doing it now alkisg
[17:54] <DroidLx> edbian: hold on, i'm on my droid. typing out the errors
[17:54] <DarkTatka> hi, not exactly ubuntu question - I want to automate opening tabs in gnome-terminal. I want to create new gnome-terminal window if not present and then add tabs to it with particular title and run command in them. How would I do about it?
[17:54] <edbian> DroidLx, :)
[17:54] <todd__> I want to get to the #java room on this XChat... the channels list just hangs on me... HELP!?
[17:55] <erUSUL> todd__: define "hangs on me"
[17:55] <stealth_> alkisg, so if i install ubuntu again, will GRUB magically come back?
[17:55] <stealth_> please say it will d=
[17:55] <sebsebseb> stealth_: yes
[17:55] <alkisg> stealth_: yes, but you don't need to, you can just fix grub
[17:55] <sebsebseb> stealth_: it will overwrite the MBR for the Grub that is now messed up since no /boot
[17:55] <facelessloser> need help with ttytter it wont load says it stops at lines 451 and 247
[17:55] <erUSUL> !register | todd__
[17:55] <stealth_> How alkisg?
[17:55] <todd__> stealth: does nothing, and does not allow input for over 5 min
[17:56] <BluesKaj> janisozaur, agreed yes it's supposed to work, but unfortunately not in all cases ...the server editions seem to be ok
[17:56] <alkisg> stealth_: boot from a live ubuntu cd and I'll help you correctly follow that grub2 wiki page.
[17:56] <DroidLx> edbian: at the moment when i do "sudo aptitude -f install" no errors are occurring, but it also says nothing will be installed, upgraded or removed. so it seems i'm stuck? rebooting brings me back here.
[17:56] <edbian> stealth_, Part of the install process is to install grub.  I can almost guarantee that a reinstall is not necessary and I don't even know what your problem is :)
[17:56] <Mba7eth> guys.... i have a  wireless card installed, can i know brand name and model while running ?
[17:56] <Luija1006> Please people I need your help my CD/DVD reader of my laptop is not working, this started like 2 months ago when I installed the new version of kubuntu. Please help me I need the reader urgently
[17:56] <sebsebseb> edbian: actsaully a re install might be kind of neassrey, since they deleted the /boot that Grub was using
[17:56] <stealth_> Alkisg, I just thought, lLast time I installed Ubuntu, it was desktop. I installled netbook ediiton BEFORE i installed desktop, but netbook edition still controlled grub, so yeah...
[17:56] <edbian> DroidLx, Alright.  It boots into a cli I assume.  What if you run "startx"  or "sudo gdm"
[17:56] <stealth_> What if it does not work

[17:56] <erUSUL> Mba7eth: lshw -C network
[17:57] <Luija1006> denny: what u mean
[17:57] <RCP> dam spamers
[17:57] <denny> Luija1006: I'm having DVD drive problems since I upgraded recently, I have log errors saying "VFS: busy inodes on changed media or resized disk sr0"
[17:57] <Mba7eth> erUSUL, thanks :)
[17:57] <X-2> what is it with these spammers here o.O
[17:57] <musheno> ok I "registered" (was todd_) now should the channels list work?
[17:57] <denny> Luija1006: look in the file /var/log/messages and see if you have messages like that
[17:57] <sebsebseb> X-2: not everyone likes Ubuntu or Freenode
[17:57] <sebsebseb> X-2: that knows about it
[17:57] <erUSUL> musheno: you want to search chatrooms ?
[17:57] <guilhermeblanco> huh? someone pinged me?
[17:57] <edbian> sebsebseb, I see.  (To be technically accurate you could probably copy the files from a live CD or some other Ubuntu install and change the config)  That would probably open up some other can of worms though.
[17:57] <X-2> sebsebseb: seems like it yeah
[17:57] <guilhermeblanco> ah... spammers
[17:57] <ShrekLappy> guilhermeblanco, its a spammer
[17:57] <stealth_> Alkisg, I just thought, lLast time I installed Ubuntu, it was desktop. I installled netbook ediiton BEFORE i installed desktop, but netbook edition still controlled grub, so yeah (Not sure if you saw the message before spam)
[17:57] <guilhermeblanco> =(
[17:58] <erUSUL> musheno: use alis service « /msg alis list *name* »
[17:58] <alkisg> stealth_: was there some question there? I didn't understand...
[17:58] <musheno> erUSUL: yes... I want to find a java based chat
[17:58] <erUSUL> musheno: /join #java
[17:58] <alkisg> stealth_: boot from a new live usb stick, and we'll help you from there.
[17:58] <grv> musheno, #java is invite only
[17:58] <stealth_> ok alkisg
[17:58] <sebsebseb> edbian: or  Ubuntu could be re installed onto a small partition, and then get rdi of everything except for /boot
[17:59] <musheno> grv: is there one that is not invite only?
[17:59] <Luija1006> denny: i dont know where are those files
[17:59] <xangua> grv: no, you need to register
[17:59] <stealth_> wait
[17:59] <sebsebseb> edbian: and even have the partition re sized, and stealth_ could boot like that
[17:59] <edbian> sebsebseb, clever! :)
[17:59] <grv> musheno, lemme see
[17:59] <sebsebseb> edbian: thats what I did in 2007
[17:59] <stealth_> I have no USB sticks spare sebsebseb. The only one I have is the one with GRUB installed on it that i broke
[17:59] <sebsebseb> edbian: when an install messed up and yeah
[17:59] <Pyppe> Hi. ran apt-get upgrade yesterday. after boot I got an error message "cryptsetup: lvm device name (/dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxxxx) does not begin with /dev/mapper/". how to proceed? :O
[17:59] <edbian> stealth_, Or you could just reinstall proper and be done with it.  Be aware though you will lose all your data if you don't copy it somewhere
[18:00] <stealth_> WHat do you been edbian?
[18:00] <janisozaur> !register | musheno
[18:00] <Luija1006> Please people I need your help my CD/DVD reader of my laptop is not working, this started like 2 months ago when I installed the new version of kubuntu. Please help me I need the reader urgently
[18:00] <sebsebseb> edbian: the difference though was that the old Grub back in 2007 messed up after deleting a NTFS partition, where as stealth_ 's issue is, because he deleted the partition that had the /boot that controlled Grub 2, since he had netbook edition and desktop installed
[18:00] <DroidLx> edbian: a pm told me to sudo install ubuntu-desktop. it's still running. i'll report back soon as it's done.
[18:00] <edbian> stealth_, Reinstall the operating system.  But if you have stuff saved you will loose it unless you back it up somewhere.   E.g. can you boot from a live cd with it?
[18:00] <denny> musheno: you haven't identified
[18:00] <Luija1006> alkisg: yes
[18:00] <stealth_> Edbian or Sebsebseb, I have no spare memory sticks to install ubuntu live CD on, the last one I had spare i installed GRUB on by accident
[18:01] <musheno> denny: OK... so?
[18:01] <denny> in fact
[18:01] <Luija1006> alkisg: I just recently booted the live CD to test it, no problems
[18:01] <edbian> DroidLx, That's good advice.  You need that if it isn't installed :)
[18:01] <sebsebseb> stealth_: got aother computer?
[18:01] <denny> musheno: you haven't registered your nick
[18:01] <denny> I just checked
[18:01] <janisozaur> musheno, oh. anyway, I can join java and it's not invite only. have you identified yourself with nickserv?
[18:01] <stealth_> on it now sebsebseb
[18:01] <alkisg> Luija1006: if you're using kubuntu, why not ask in #kubuntu?
[18:01] <edbian> stealth_, Do you have a working computer (windows or otherwise) ?
[18:01] <grv> stealth_, u can reuse the usb stick since its screwed already
[18:01] <sebsebseb> stealth_: make a bootable USB stick or  Live CD on that computer
[18:01] <Luija1006> alkisg: no one there....:/
[18:01] <stealth_> Sebsebseb, IU am saying I dont have a spare USB stick
[18:01] <musheno> janisozaur: OK... how does one register?
[18:01] <sebsebseb> stealth_: I think unetbootin has a version for Windows, for the USB stick by the way
[18:01] <stealth_> The last one I had I installed GRUB on it
[18:01] <denny> musheno is not a registered nick.  Once you register your nick, then you need to verify it, then you need to identify.
[18:01] <edbian> stealth_, use the one with grub on it.
[18:01] <alkisg> Luija1006: sorry, no idea about kubuntu...
[18:02] <sebsebseb> stealth_: yeah use the one with Grub on it, or make a Live CD
[18:02] <stealth_> edbian, is it safe to plug into my computer?
[18:02] <denny> musheno: follow the instructions from the person you just told to shut up.
[18:02] <janisozaur> musheno, register or identify (read: login)
[18:02] <edbian> stealth_, yeah
[18:02] <stealth_> ok

[18:02] <sebsebseb> edbian: uh I thought you meant install onto the one with Grub on it?
[18:02] <janisozaur> musheno, in "server" channel type "/msg nickserv identify <password>"
[18:02] <denny> janisozaur: the nick isn't registered
[18:02] <janisozaur> musheno, you can also ask nickserv for help
[18:02] <edbian> sebsebseb, "Install Ubuntu onto the one" (what one?  usb stick or computer?)
[18:02] <sebsebseb> stealth_: anyway edbian can help you with this,  I think i'll let him take over now
[18:03] <stealth_> ok sebsebseb
[18:03] <edbian> sebsebseb, I didn't mean to muscle you out!
[18:03] <stealth_> thanks for the help
[18:03] <sebsebseb> edbian: I know
[18:03] <RCP> MIRC Users: http://pastebin.com/LeQcVfg8 to block the spamers when they mass nick spam
[18:03] <edbian> sebsebseb, :)
[18:03] <sebsebseb> edbian: we'll whatever, lets try and help him
[18:03] <janisozaur> denny, if he wanted to identify without having his nick registered wouldn't nickserv return some helpful information?
[18:03] <edbian> stealth_, Is there any data on the target computer that you want to keep?
[18:03] <sebsebseb> edbian: and I meant make the  Grub USB stick, into an Ubuntu install USB stick
[18:03] <stealth_> On my netbook edbian, yes
[18:04] <facelessloser> could someone give me a hand with ttytter is wont load here is what is spits out http://paste.ubuntu.com/488363/
[18:04] <sebsebseb> edbian: or maybe, can boot up from his Grub USB stick, go into his install, and then sort out Grub from there, but you will have to help him with that in that case
[18:04] <edbian> stealth_, a lot of data?
[18:04] <stealth_> Yes edbian
[18:04] <musheno> ok it says >NickServ< VERIFY REGISTER musheno... is that it?
[18:04] <edbian> stealth_, If we reinstall the operating system all of that data will be lost.
[18:04] <stealth_> I thought I could make a new partition from  another ubuntu live cd..?
[18:04] <edbian> stealth_, You could do that.
[18:04] <stealth_> Great.
[18:05] <sebsebseb> stealth_: yes you can
[18:05] <stealth_> SO basically I have 2 copys of ubuntu desktop
[18:05] <sebsebseb> stealth_: you could do the work around I did in 2007 for a similar issue, and with the old Grub
[18:05] <stealth_> How sebsebseb
[18:05] <sebsebseb> stealth_: only thing with that is
[18:05] <edbian> stealth_, That's a good plan.  We'll install to a new partition, (make sure grub is reinstalled as well so the netbook boots) and use the new OS to get the data from the old broken one.  We'll move everything to the new partition.  Then reboot using the Ubuntu USB stick and resize all the partitions so that they're proper.
[18:05] <sebsebseb> stealth_: it might have changed now, but probably not,  is that it will upgrade the Grub in your netbook edition install probably
[18:05] <edbian> stealth_, Step 1.  Install Ubuntu onto a USB drive.
[18:05] <stealth_> Ok mate, sounds good
[18:06] <sebsebseb> stealth_: rather than the  one on the other partition on /boot
[18:06] <stealth_> Edbian, I opened the USb stick I installed GRUB on. Its already got a Ubuntu install on it but it does not work
[18:06] <sebsebseb> stealth_: and if you have a seperate /boot partition,  then you want that one to upgrade, since that is the one that would be responsible for the part of Grub on the MBR
[18:06] <Luija1006> Please people I need your help my CD/DVD reader of my laptop is not working, this started like 2 months ago when I installed the new version of kubuntu. Please help me I need the reader urgently
[18:06] <stealth_> ok
[18:06] <edbian> stealth_, wipe it.  Start over and make it a new ubuntu live usb
[18:06] <stealth_> ok ed
[18:07] <edbian> sebsebseb, Let's just install grub fresh from the live USB.  Who cares what other broken half configured grubs there are laying around?
[18:07] <musheno> Thanks! that was very unclear I needed to do that... somone may want to add some documentation to xchat so you know you should do that when trying to use xchat
[18:07] <musheno> :-)
[18:07] <josip> Hello, I can not change the gtk theme using the gnome editor. It will change the icons, but not the theme
[18:07] <musheno> thanks
[18:07] <josip> the panels do not get customized either
[18:07] <sebsebseb> stealth_: so its better to get, your data realy, and then just clean install
[18:07] <stealth_> On my USB stick seb>
[18:07] <stealth_> ?
[18:07] <sebsebseb> stealth_: onto your computer
[18:08] <brontoeee> what could be the problems if i connect more than one home-grade router in a row?
[18:08] <stealth_> Sebsebseb, I have Windows7 on here that I kinda need
[18:08] <stealth_> ANd cant reinstall
[18:08] <sebsebseb> stealth_: however can make the USB stick into Ubuntu install media, and then install from that
[18:08] <edbian> stealth_, It almost definitely won't fit on the USB stick because Ubuntu will already be on it.
[18:08] <edbian> stealth_, We won't touch windows 7
[18:08] <stealth_> Ok
[18:08] <stealth_> edbian, I gotta go for dinner in about 2 mins
[18:09] <stealth_> i will be 20 mins or so
[18:09] <edbian> stealth_, k
[18:09] <sebsebseb> stealth_: Windows 7 will boot up as well, once Grub 2 has been re installed, with your  clean install of Ubuntu netbook edition, onto your computer, that can be installed from your USB stick, if its made into Ubuntu install media
[18:09] <stealth_> Incase you are not here, what do you suggest I do?
[18:09] <sebsebseb> !unetbottin | stealth_
[18:09] <stealth_> ok seb
[18:09] <sebsebseb> edbian: unetbottin has a Windows version right?
[18:09] <bobthemilkman> I set some bad options in cairo-dock, and now it refuses to run. I tried sudo apt-get purge cairo-dock, but I still can't get it to work right.
[18:09] <edbian> sebsebseb, yes and mac
[18:10] <sebsebseb> stealth_: make  Ubuntu install media, using  unetbottin, after you have installed it into Windows
[18:10] <sebsebseb> stealth_: then do a clean install of Ubuntu using that
[18:10] <stealth_> so sebsebseb and edbian, will I be able to use my computer tonight properly with any luck?
[18:10] <sebsebseb> stealth_: after you have got your data off the computer
[18:10] <stealth_> And sebsebseb, I can use universal USB installer right?
[18:10] <edbian> stealth_, If all goes according to plan.
[18:10] <stealth_> So I install Ubuntu Desktop again, and with any luck it installs Grub for me?
[18:10] <sebsebseb> stealth_: no
[18:11] <sebsebseb> stealth_: you got a netbook, so should re install the netbook  version really
[18:11] <stealth_> I dont like it that much sebsebseb
[18:11] <sebsebseb> stealth_: you don't ned the desktop version as well
[18:11] <stealth_> I installed netbook edition, did not like it, installed desktop and was happy with it
[18:11] <sebsebseb> stealth_: well it will soon be imrpoved by default, since Unity, but got to wait for 10.10 first
[18:11] <stealth_> I tried deleting the netbook edition
[18:11] <stealth_> And here we are
[18:11] <alkisg> stealth_: how are you on irc now? from another pc?
[18:11] <edbian> stealth_, Install whatever version of Ubuntu you want.  It will install grub.
[18:11] <Error404NotFound> http://www.helloandroid.com/tutorials/how-download-fileimage-url-your-device gives me java.netConnectionException: localhost/<IP_ADDRESS>/80 - Connection Refused
[18:11] <stealth_> yeah alkisg
[18:11] <Error404NotFound> damn
[18:11] <stealth_> Ok edbian
[18:11] <Error404NotFound> wrong channel :(
[18:12] <sebsebseb> stealth_: netbook edition works a bit better on a net book
[18:12] <sebsebseb> !netbook | stealth_
[18:12] <alkisg> stealth_: you can probably boot your ubuntu from the broken grub, that should be the faster method
[18:12] <stealth_> sebsebseb, I tried them both
[18:12] <sebsebseb> !une | stealth_
[18:12] <stealth_> And alkisg I dont know how to
[18:12] <alkisg> stealth_: do you know how to get a command prompt in your broken grub?
[18:12] <stealth_> alkisg: as soon as i boot computer its on there
[18:12] <sebsebseb> stealth_: ok, but the look is completly changing for 10.10, which is why I suggest re installing the netbook, and then you can upgrade to 10.10,  after thats been released with the final
[18:12] <stealth_> I can type commands into grub yes
[18:12] <pat|nG> what's the command in terminal to install a .jar file?
[18:12] <DroidLx> edbian: looks like my pm was right. a sudo install of ubuntu desktop seems to have brought back the gui. now back to trying to move from 8.04 to 10.04
[18:13] <alkisg> stealth_: you just need to type "root (hd0,3)" <== whatever your ubuntu partition is, and "configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg"
[18:13] <Luija1006> Please people I need your help my CD/DVD reader of my laptop is not working, this started like 2 months ago when I installed the new version of kubuntu. Please help me I need the reader urgently
[18:13] <Luija1006> HELP!!
[18:13] <edbian> DroidLx, :)  What happened last time?
[18:13] <TeaRex> pat|nG you don't install .jar files
[18:13] <stealth_> alkisg: I am doing it now
[18:13] <alkisg> stealth_: Then you'll be able to see your old ubuntu menu, if grub is still there on that partition
[18:13] <stealth_> but I dont know where my ubuntu partition is
[18:13] <crohakon> We had a hippychick all this time and no one told me!?
[18:14] <pat|nG> TeaRex how can i install it?
[18:14] <alkisg> stealth_: try "root (hd" and press  tab a couple of times for autocompletion
[18:14] <stealth_> it comes up with 2
[18:14] <stealth_> 22
[18:14] <stealth_> an I get
[18:14] <stealth_> "Unknown comand : root"
[18:15] <stealth_> I gtg dinner, be back later
[18:17] <WinstonSmith> !patience | Luija1006
[18:21] <trism> pat|nG: you can run them with: java -jar jarfile;
[18:22] <regeya>  any deja dup users here?  if so, has anyone successfully backed up to a local drive, or any destination that's NOT on Amazon S3?
[18:24] <puff> I'm on ubuntu lucid and trying to setup rails 3.0, which requires either ruby 1.8.7 _before_ patch 248, or 1.9.2.  The repos have 1.8.7 p249 and 1.9.1, both of which have critical bugs that Rails 3.0 hits.
[18:24] <Luija1006> Please people I need your help my CD/DVD reader of my laptop is not working, this started like 2 months ago when I installed the new version of kubuntu. Please help me I need the reader urgently
[18:25] <infid> is it ok to use a hostname that has only two letters? eg 'hostname xy'. i never see hostnames that short so i'm wondering if there's a downside
[18:26] <plouffe> I'm trying to install ubuntu or xubuntu on an old laptop, but the mouse doesn't get recognized. The mouse works on windows though. What could I do to make it work on (x)ubuntu live cd?
[18:26] <magistar> hello, everyone... I'm trying to update from Ubuntu 10.04 to the new 10.10 Beta, but when i press Alt+F2, i get this error " could not open location 'file:///home/~username~/update-manager-d" no such file or directory.. anyone know what the problem is? thanks
[18:27] <BluesKaj> magistar, ask in #ubuntu+1
[18:28] <magistar> alright, thx
[18:28] <erUSUL> plouffe: what type of mouse? serial ?
[18:28] <AlHafoudh> hi all
[18:28] <UndiFineD> magistar, place a space between " update-manager -d "
[18:28] <plouffe> actually I used serial mouse and touchpad
[18:28] <plouffe> touchpad is preferred obviously
[18:28] <plouffe> erUSUL,
[18:29] <erUSUL> plouffe: serial mouse need to be explicity listed in xorg.conf so you may hve to create a xorg.conf
[18:29] <magistar> UndiFineD, thank you, it worked.
[18:29] <erUSUL> plouffe: not very familiar with touchpad issues
[18:29] <AlHafoudh> i just installed ubuntu server, when I try to wget some file i get 30kb/s, when i try it from other my mac i get full speed 3MB/s, when i benchmark using netcat the speed between mac and that ubuntu server i get full 100mb/s what is the problem? i tried also to disable ipv6 buy no change
[18:30] <puff> So, previosly, I was trying to install rails 3.0 beta using "sudo gem1.9 install rails --pre"

[18:31] <babai> i'm trying to run 10.10 beta in virtualbox and when installing guestadditions it says unknown version of X
[18:31] <babai> what to do?
[18:32] <Kruptein> Hey I have a dual boot windows 7 -- ubuntu Lucid,  no I want to run windows7 from within ubuntu like virtualbox or something,  how should I do this?
[18:32] <sree__> who is this marienzz
[18:32] <TeaRex> babai: wait until 10.10 is officially released
[18:32] <ZykoticK9> babai, i don't think there are guest additions for the new version os X yet
[18:32] <sree__> :(
[18:32] <babai> 101
[18:32] <TeaRex> babai: it's normal for VBox not to support beta Ubuntus
[18:32] <babai> 10.10 uses x server 1.9?
[18:32] <IdleOne> sree__: just a spam bot. taken care of.
[18:33] <IdleOne> !10.10 | babai
[18:33] <TeaRex> Kruptein: Install VBox, then reinstall Windows inside of it
[18:34] <BrianE> Hey
[18:34] <BrianE> In Vista, my laptop achieves around 3.5 hours' battery life
[18:34] <ServerTech> Hmm Ubuntu 10.04 hangs in such a way that i can drag windows, but cannot type or close the window.... Happens normally when im working on the terminal.... Is this normal for it?
[18:34] <BrianE> In Ubuntu, I'm lucky if I can scrape 40 minutes out of it... Anyone got any solutions / explainations?
[18:35] <MashPotato> BrianE: I assume you use desktop effects excessively?
[18:35] <UndiFineD> BrianE, I get 8 hours on my eeepc using xubuntu
[18:35] <MashPotato> try to turn them off
[18:35] <Kruptein> TeaRex: I don't want to reinstall it though, I need the already installed programs in windows and don't want to reinstall them all
[18:36] <MashPotato> Kruptein: depending on the programs, you might want to try wine instead
[18:36] <BrianE> MashPotato: None, they're disabled
[18:36] <pat|nG> what's the command to change directory?
[18:37] <BrianE> pat|nG: "cd"
[18:37] <BrianE> cd some_directory
[18:37] <MashPotato> Kruptein: It's possible to run a already installed windows in virtualbox, but that's a) very tricky, and b) the bad performance doesn't allow any serious tasks
[18:37] <AlHafoudh> anyone?
[18:37] <ServerTech> Would having desktop effects affect the performance?
[18:37] <MashPotato> BrianE: then I have a hard time believing you
[18:38] <Kruptein> MashPotato okay :( to bad, wine isn't an option in this case though... thanks anyway
[18:38] <MashPotato> Kruptein: why not?
[18:38] <UndiFineD> BrianE, running any services ? active deamons you can live without
[18:38] <AlHafoudh> i just installed ubuntu server, when I try to wget some file i get 30kb/s, when i try it from other my mac i get full speed 3MB/s, when i benchmark using netcat the speed between mac and that ubuntu server i get full 100mb/s what is the problem? i tried also to disable ipv6 buy no change
[18:39] <BrianE> UndiFineD: Only nginx and a MySQL server, neither of which (due to their inactivity) would have much (if any) effect on the battery life
[18:40] <BrianE> It hasn't been a sudden change, the battery life was like that from a clean install
[18:40] <spunk> Hello, is there a shell command that displays the OS version? I've googled without luck...
[18:40] <UndiFineD> spunk : uname -a

[18:40] <MashPotato> BrianE: are you running any memory-expensive programs?
[18:40] <BrianE> spunk: cat /etc/issue
[18:40] <spunk> UndiFineD, great, thanks!
[18:40] <spunk> BrianE, Thanks!
[18:41] <UndiFineD> BrianE, mind paste a top output ?
[18:41] <BrianE> MashPotato: Memory-expensive programs? Why would that have an effect? My memory usage is sitting at around ~750MB
[18:41] <rww> !version | spunk
[18:41] <BrianE> Hold on, I hvae to fetch my charger before, ironically, my battery dies
[18:42] <Kruptein> MashPotato: my previous try off virtualdj on wine were not really "succesfull"
[18:42] <UndiFineD> lol @ BrianE
[18:42] <spunk> rww, thanks!
[18:42] <Kruptein> the main problem is windows though (obviously) because it's much more dificult to read files from the linux partitions, while ubuntu offers it from the start ...
[18:43] <Kruptein> (* for windows partitions in the latter ofcourse :p)
[18:43] <TeaRex> Kruptein: True, that's why I keep a large "storage" partition in NTFS to access from both sides
[18:43] <pat|nG> i typed java -jar mircroemulator.jar and i got an error message "unable to access jarfile microemulator.jar
[18:43] <WinstonSmith> Kruptein, i dont think you can run a program like virtualdj successfully under wine
[18:43] <Kruptein> WinstonSmith: yeah that's what I say :p
[18:43] <MashPotato> pat|nG: you have to be in the same directory as the file
[18:43] <TeaRex> pat|nG are you in the same directory as microemulator.jar
[18:44] <Kruptein> Tearex smart ;)
[18:44] <pat|nG> yup
[18:44] <pat|nG> i am
[18:44] <MashPotato> pat|nG: "ls microemulator.jar"
[18:44] <pat|nG> pating@pating:~/Downloads$
[18:44] <WinstonSmith> Kruptein, TeaRex you might want to look at this : http://www.soluvas.com/read-browse-explore-open-ext2-ext3-ext4-partition-filesystem-from-windows-7/
[18:44] <pat|nG> am i right?
[18:44] <MashPotato> pat|nG: "ls microemulator.jar"
[18:45] <pat|nG> i saw it
[18:45] <pat|nG> it's a .zip
[18:45] <pat|nG> lol
[18:45] <TeaRex> WinstonSmith: That's cool but not always as useful as direct filesystem access
[18:45] <pat|nG> sorry
[18:45] <MashPotato> jar files ARE zipfiles
[18:45] <pat|nG> how can i unzip it in terminal?
[18:45] <io> !unzip | pat|nG
[18:45] <MashPotato> you're not supposed to unzip it
[18:45] <TeaRex> unzip -l <name> to see what's in there
[18:46] <Kruptein> WinstonSmith: I will try those :p  I've surfed for about an hour to find tools and all of them failed, maybe those work :)
[18:46] <Kruptein> bye
[18:46] <WinstonSmith> TeaRex, how more direct than mounting a volume do you want?
[18:46] <MashPotato> io, TeaRex: don't give him ideas
[18:46]  * WinstonSmith is puzzled
[18:46] <TeaRex> then unzip <name> to extract. But if the name ends in .jar DO NOT unzip it
[18:46] <MashPotato> pat|nG: please just forget what io and TeaRex said
[18:47] <MashPotato> pat|nG: first, make sure you are in the same directory as the file
[18:47] <wildc4rd> evenin' all!
[18:47] <TeaRex> WinstonSmith: Maybe I didn't reed it right
[18:47] <pat|nG> i just did
[18:47] <BrianE> Sorry, didn't get to the charger in time
[18:47] <MashPotato> pat|nG: great, now type "java -jar <jarfile>"
[18:47] <MashPotato> without the quotes and the "<" or ">"
[18:48] <pat|nG> no command 'java' found
[18:49] <pat|nG> enk! denied!
[18:49] <pat|nG> :(
[18:49] <Get_A_Fix> sudo?
[18:49] <MashPotato> do you have the java runtime installed?
[18:49] <jsemar> so I have a linux server running under Vmware workstation, i just reallocated more disk space for its harddrive, the prompt told me i must reparttition the hd to claim the new space...can i do this and not lose my data?
[18:49] <pat|nG> im done installing java from synaptics
[18:49] <pat|nG> :(
[18:49] <TeaRex> pat|nG: hash -r then try again
[18:50] <pat|nG> same mates
[18:50] <TeaRex> pat|nG: Also, which java packages exactly did you install
[18:50] <TeaRex> ?
[18:50] <ThomasB2k> What is the Linux equivalent of chkdsk?
[18:50] <TeaRex> thomasB2k: fsck
[18:50] <pat|nG> sun-java6-jre
[18:50] <ThomasB2k> thanks
[18:50] <BrianE> Who wanted the top output?
[18:50] <marekw2143> hi, can ubuntu console work without glib-2.0?
[18:51] <deepu> which is the best video and audio players for ubuntu?
[18:51] <TeaRex> pat|nG: "sudo updatedb" then when it's finished "locate java" and tell us the output
[18:52] <TeaRex> deepu: depends on what you want it to play
[18:52] <WinstonSmith> deepu, VLC for vid and audacious for audio IMHO
[18:52] <TeaRex> deepu: and on what hardware you have
[18:53] <Get_A_Fix> and what desktop, if any
[18:53] <deepu> i have gforce nvidia card
[18:53] <pieter> little problem here: I replaced a atmega8 by a atmega48 and changed the registers and fuses... but now my one second delay is more like half a second
[18:53] <TeaRex> deepu: and on whether you want a GUI or rather very wide format support in a command line player, etc. etc.
[18:53] <deepu> GENOME
[18:53] <WinstonSmith> vlc runs everywhere (nearly)
[18:53] <VCoolio> deepu: the one that suits you most; for video, choose between mplayer, gstreamer or xine frontend, or vlc; for audio it depends how much and what features you want
[18:53] <deepu> GUI,wide formats
[18:53] <pieter> sorry wrong tab
[18:53] <TeaRex> deepu: I mean which file formats
[18:53] <pat|nG> TeaRex: im done
[18:54] <deepu> mkv,avi,mp4
[18:54] <WinstonSmith> thats why vlc = no worries about file formats
[18:54] <BrianE> MashPotato: http://www.burn-blue.com/image/view/H1FunWBc/TopOutput.png
[18:54] <pat|nG> but i dont see anything works
[18:54] <pat|nG> like i typed sudo updatedb
[18:54] <pat|nG> then it brings me back to the same director pating@pating:~/downloads$
[18:55] <pat|nG> nothing change
[18:55] <pat|nG> i dunno
[18:55] <pat|nG> did i do the right thing there?
[18:55] <MashPotato> BrianE: indeed no memory-expensive apps there.. do you have the laptop edition of ubuntu?
[18:55] <TeaRex> patnG that's normal
[18:55] <TeaRex> now try "locate java"
[18:55] <BrianE> MashPotato: It's 10.04 standard
[18:55] <TeaRex> updatedb just rebuilds the locat database
[18:55] <TeaRex> =locate
[18:55] <pat|nG> oh i got lots of directory here
[18:55] <WinstonSmith> pat|nG, updatedb updates your locate database it does not give any output
[18:55] <pat|nG> starts /var/lib/dpkg/....
[18:56] <pat|nG> which one is the right one then?
[18:56] <TeaRex> give us any lines that have /bin/ or /usr/bin at the start
[18:56] <TeaRex> are there any?
[18:57] <pat|nG> i got usr/lib
[18:57] <pat|nG> nothing starts with /bin or /usr/bin
[18:57] <TeaRex> nothing at all with /bin/ in it even at a later point?
[18:58] <pat|nG> nope
[18:58] <pat|nG> nothing
[18:58] <TeaRex> I mean do you have any lines with "some stuff.../bin/...more stuff" where stuff is anything?
[18:58] <pat|nG> just /usr/lib
[18:58] <pat|nG> nope
[18:58] <TeaRex> OK then you don't have a java executable in an accessible place
[18:58] <pat|nG> i can't see /bin/ from the command locate java
[18:59] <TeaRex> you will need some other package then
[18:59] <pat|nG> but i just installed the java from synaptics
[18:59] <pat|nG> :(
[18:59] <TeaRex> install all the sun-java packages you can find in synaptics
[18:59] <pat|nG> omg...this is confusing
[18:59] <TeaRex> there will be more than one
[18:59] <UndiFineD> BrianE, did you try powertop ?
[18:59] <pat|nG> i just did mate
[18:59] <BrianE> pat|nG: It's not confusing, you're making it so ;O
[18:59] <pat|nG> i install all
[19:00] <TeaRex> pat|nG: wait a moment OK?
[19:00] <pat|nG> BrianE: mate sorry but i'm not as good as u bare with it ;)
[19:00] <geirha> pat|nG: Does ''type -P java'' output anything?
[19:00] <BrianE> pat|nG: It's not an ego-trip, I'm just trying to save you from storming off thinking Ubuntu is convoluted and hard-to-use
[19:01] <BrianE> pat|nG: Open a terminal and run "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre"... after a while, you'll have to agree to some license terms. Accept them, and then when it's finished installing, you'll have Java working
[19:01] <zedkappa> hello, how can i assist 10.10 in finding init? it gives me the error 'No init found'. i used the latest beta and made a live usb using unetbootin, and am running an Acer Aspire One.
[19:01] <sebsebseb> !10.10 | zedkappa
[19:01] <pat|nG> BrianE mate...we're different individuals.....u maybe gifted were i am not...so as what i have said.....bare with it....
[19:01] <zedkappa> thank you sebsebseb
[19:02] <BrianE> zedkappa: I haven't used either unetbootin or the 10.10 beta, but it's likely not been installed onto the USB stick properly, maybe try again?
[19:02] <UndiFineD> BrianE, did you try powertop ?
[19:02] <pat|nG> for me it's confusing....that's why i'm askin here some help.... :( dont be so mean
[19:02] <zedkappa> perhaps
[19:02] <sebsebseb> zedkappa: np
[19:02] <BrianE> UndiFineD: Sorry, lemme try now
[19:02] <UndiFineD> :)
[19:02] <BrianE> pat|nG: I'm not being mean, I'm trying to help o_O
 pat|nG: It's not an ego-trip, I'm just trying to save you from storming off thinking Ubuntu is convoluted and hard-to-use
 pat|nG: Open a terminal and run "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre"... after a while, you'll have to agree to some license terms. Accept them, and then when it's finished installing, you'll have Java working
[19:02] <BrianE> I fail to see how that's mean
[19:03] <BrianE> UndiFineD: man for 'powertop' says it's for Intel-based laptops.. This has an AMD CPU / board, should it still work?
[19:04] <pat|nG> i got a message here mate.....saying "sun-java6-jre is already the newest version"
[19:04] <slow-motion> hi
[19:04] <UndiFineD> BrianE, it is meant to show you processes that wake
[19:04] <erUSUL> BrianE: yes
[19:04] <UndiFineD> BrianE, interupts, file writes and such
[19:04] <TeaRex> pat|nG try "update-alternatives --config java"
[19:05] <TeaRex> maybe that will fix the link
[19:05] <geirha> pat|nG, TeaRex: No,  ''sudo update-java-alternatives --set java-6-sun''
[19:05] <TeaRex> ok I think you have to say "sudo update-alternatives --config java"
[19:06] <pat|nG> @tearex: mate...i got a message saying " there is only one alternative in link group java: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6...... nothing to configure
[19:06] <mikeliss> Anybody know how to restore compiz settings from a backup of /home?
[19:07] <geirha> pat|nG: And ''type -P java'' still doesn't output anything?
[19:07] <BrianE> UndiFineD: http://www.burn-blue.com/image/view/Qf97Rnxg/powertop.png
[19:07] <Jamesgamer_linux> mikeliss: Not sure if I'm anywhere near correct, but couldn't you just copy the compiz folder from the backup to the current?
[19:07] <erUSUL> mikeliss: ~/.config/compiz/ ?
[19:08] <TeaRex> pat|nG another attempt.... "/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/bin/java -version"
[19:08] <soadkombucha> Is there a drive for Toshiba ACPI that's up to date that works on the L500D-ST2543? I've been doing research and the only ACPI drivers I can find for Toshiba are outdated and do not work on the current BIOS that Toshiba laptops use
[19:08] <TeaRex> To see if its installed at all
[19:08] <mikeliss> Jamesgamer_linux, erUSUL: There's only one file in there, and it's not a config file...
[19:08] <BrianE> pat|nG: Try TeaRex' last command - that's where it should have installed to
[19:09] <pat|nG> i'll just have to type it?
[19:09] <TeaRex> yes
[19:09] <BrianE> Yes
[19:09] <TeaRex> the point is to find out if it's there at all
[19:09] <BrianE> You could copy and paste it, though, without the quotes
[19:09] <erUSUL> mikeliss: maybe in #compiz
[19:09] <Jamesgamer_linux> Hey everyone! Quick question: I recently deleted and recreated the swap partition for my Ubuntu installation. How do I make ubuntu realize the new location? Is it as easy as changing the UUID in /etc/fstab ?
[19:09] <erUSUL> Jamesgamer_linux: yes
[19:09] <TeaRex> normally when everything is configured right just "java -version" should work, but that's not the case with your system it seems
[19:09] <erUSUL> !uuid | Jamesgamer_linux
[19:10] <Jamesgamer_linux> erUSUL: Cool, thanks!
[19:10] <pat|nG> reply: java version 1.6.0_20
[19:10] <Jamesgamer_linux> erUSUL: I got it from "disk utility", is that ok?
[19:10] <Jamesgamer_linux> the new UUID i mean
[19:10] <UndiFineD> sorry BrianE had to put my daughter to bed
[19:10]  * TeaRex slaps pat|nG over the head with a large trout
[19:10] <TeaRex> Congratulations
[19:10] <BrianE> pat|nG: Try closing your terminal and opening a new one, then "java -version"... does that give the same output?
[19:10] <BrianE> UndiFineD: No worries :)
[19:11] <BrianE> Jamesgamer_linux: Yes, it's the same UUID
[19:11] <TeaRex> You are under my control... you will Do what BrianE says.....
[19:11] <erUSUL> Jamesgamer_linux: sure. but a double check wont hurt anybody :P
[19:11] <pat|nG> same output mates
[19:11] <UndiFineD> BrianE, top power consumption is thus audio
[19:11] <BrianE> Then that's you sorted, right?
[19:11] <geirha> So it was just a wrong hash, as I suspected.
[19:11] <BrianE> UndiFineD: I'm not going without audio, heh
[19:11] <Jamesgamer_linux> BrianE, erUSUL : THANKS! problem solved, I think.
[19:12] <BrianE> Jamesgamer_linux: All I/we did was say "yes" o_O
[19:12] <BrianE> But no worries :P
[19:12] <pat|nG> BrianE?
[19:12] <pat|nG> what's next mate?
[19:12] <BrianE> pat|nG: What are you trying to achieve overall?
[19:12] <UndiFineD> BrianE, may you can use some of the tips it is givving
[19:12] <BrianE> Java's installed and working for you, it seems
[19:13] <mikeliss> Meh, all silence in #compiz. Still don't know how to restore compiz from a backup...
[19:13] <pat|nG> i'm just tryin to install mini web browser from opera
[19:13] <pat|nG> but first i need to install microemulator to be installed and i got .jar and .jad files
[19:13] <pat|nG> i dunno how to open up those files
[19:13] <pat|nG> it says i need a java to run those two
[19:13] <BrianE> mikeliss: Try copying ~/.gconf/apps/compiz to your new home directory, then logging out & in again... That should do it ;)
[19:13] <TeaRex> pat|nG now in your new terminal go to the folder with the jar file
[19:14] <TeaRex> then type "java -jar <name of jar file>"
[19:14] <BrianE> ^
[19:14] <UndiFineD> BrianE, 600 signals per 5 secs is a bit much
[19:14] <UndiFineD> BrianE, maybe when you tweak hz it reduces that
[19:14] <BrianE> UndiFineD: I was moving the mouse at the time of the screenshot, that would likely have increased the interrupts?
[19:15] <pat|nG> im in root directory and i got a reply :: unable to access jarfile microemulator.jar
[19:15] <TeaRex> not in root directory dood!! in the directory that has the jar file you downloaded!!
[19:15] <mikeliss> BrianE: Cool, that looks promising.
[19:16] <UndiFineD> BrianE, this is my eeepc : http://paste.ubuntu.com/488398/
[19:17] <pat|nG> TeaRex: i'm in the folder were the files are....and tried the command u gaved me but i still get the same output unable to access jarfile....
[19:17] <BrianE> pat|nG: What's the output of "ls microemulator.jar"?
[19:17] <bnixy7> I am signed up for ubuntu one, and have a username, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to add computers on the web and cannot connect.  How do i connect computer for ubuntu one
[19:18] <BrianE> UndiFineD: I have no benchmark to go on, I don't know what it should / shouldn't be, sorry :P
[19:18] <pat|nG> http://paste.ubuntu.com/488399/
[19:18] <erUSUL> !ubuntuone | bnixy7
[19:18] <peturi> If i choose to install Ubuntu 10.10 beta and keep it up to date, will it eventually become the real thing?
[19:18] <BrianE> pat|nG: There is no "microemulator.jar" file there...
[19:18] <erUSUL> peturi: yes; but move to #ubuntu+1 if you have more questions
[19:19] <BrianE> Only a "microemulator-2.0.4.zip" file, which I presume you've just downloaded
[19:19] <TeaRex> pat|nG: "unzip -l microemulator-2.0.4.zip"
[19:19] <TeaRex> -l is a letter L not a figure one
[19:19] <BrianE> TeaRex: That could spatter files all over his download directory, though
[19:20] <BrianE> Might be better if he extracts it to subdirectory, then changes to it
[19:21] <pat|nG> TeaRex: done
[19:21] <pat|nG> what's next?
[19:21] <TeaRex> pat|nG: you nickname sucks when you have to type it. By the way.
[19:21] <BrianE> TeaRex: Tab complete it?
[19:21] <TeaRex> pat|nG: give us the output please
[19:21] <FoolsRun> hello, I just installed the Maverick beta on an Acer netbook and am getting constant crashes from Unity and Mutter. Has anyone else seen this?
[19:22] <BrianE> TeaRex: I downloaded the file, it has just a directory called "microemulator-2.0.4" in its root
[19:22] <BrianE> So, yeah
[19:22] <jrib> !maverick | FoolsRun
[19:22] <BrianE> pat|nG: Run "unzip microemulator-2.0.4.zip", then "cd microemulator-2.0.4"
[19:24] <wildc4rd> evening all, just a quickie, added a second external monitor to my netbook, and now all the menus have 'vanished' (running netbook remix, 9.10)
[19:25] <Adian> my parent's shuttle system recently started turning off randomly for no particular reason.  It was running the older LTS (hoary?).
[19:25] <Adian> I finally narrowed it down to the nvidia proprietary driver.  Using vesa or fbdev doesn't cause the problem but severely limits me in resolution.  I tried upgrading to the most recent LTS and the nvidia driver has the exact same effect.
[19:25] <erUSUL> Adian: maybe the card overheats ?
[19:25] <Adian> I've done a bit of searching, but I haven't found any bug reports of machines actually shutting off
[19:26] <karts> I am having trouble ssh to my work computer with ubuntu 10.04. I just installed cisco vpn 4.8.02. If I connect through ethernet, the connections drops within 2 minutes and if I connect through wifi, the response time is very slow..
[19:26] <Adian> well, I kind of doubt it.  this nvidia card is onboard
[19:26] <pat|nG> paste.ubuntu.com/488402/
[19:26] <Adian> I've tried turning off a number of acceleration options in X config, but there's no change
[19:26] <TeaRex> Ok, now do "unzip microemulator-2.0.4" without the -l
[19:26] <TeaRex> as BrianE wrote
[19:27] <Adian> so I guess I would be fine if I could get better resolution with vesa, nv, or fbdev, but I haven't had luck yet
[19:27] <BrianE> Hmm, seems I won't get a fix for my battery life this time; meh
[19:27] <pat|nG> done
[19:27] <pat|nG> then? type wat BrianE did? the cd thing?
[19:27] <BrianE> pat|nG: Along with the "cd microemulator-2.0.4"?
[19:27] <pat|nG> oh
[19:27] <BrianE> If so, try running "java -jar microemulator.jar" now
[19:28] <pat|nG> i'm here in the directory of microemulator
[19:28] <pat|nG> what's next?
[19:28] <BrianE> Try running "java -jar microemulator.jar" now
[19:28] <Adian> my video chipset is: nVidia Corporation C68 [GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a] (rev a2)
[19:28] <erUSUL> !nouveau
[19:29] <BrianE> Adian: It does seem a little unlikely that such a big bug would persist through so many releases of the driver...
[19:29] <pat|nG> oh i got it
[19:29] <BrianE> Which would indicate it's a hardware problem, rather than the driver specifically
[19:29] <pat|nG> it's here already
[19:29] <pat|nG> i'm done
[19:29] <BrianE> pat|nG: ;)
[19:29] <pat|nG> wow
[19:29]  * TeaRex asks pat|ng for $100
[19:30] <pat|nG> that was fun and a lil bit of annoying
[19:30] <TeaRex> just kidding
[19:30] <pat|nG> hahaha
[19:30]  * pat|nG :((
[19:30] <pat|nG> mates that's awesome
[19:30] <pat|nG> wew
[19:30] <TeaRex> now you know why software support is a job nobody likes
[19:30] <pat|nG> i need to read more for the next part of the exploration
[19:30] <TeaRex> Ok, I
[19:30] <TeaRex> will get out of here now, was nice helping you
[19:31] <BrianE> Bye :)
[19:31] <TeaRex> c u all
[19:31] <Stealth__> sebsebseb: you there
[19:31] <sebsebseb> Stealth__: yeah
[19:31] <Stealth__> I cant open private chats on here for w/e reason
[19:31] <Stealth__> Can you open the box mate?
[19:31] <BrianE> ... ThePleb?
[19:32] <Adian> BrianE: you could be right
[19:32] <sebsebseb> Stealth__: could do this in the channel really, but yeah ok
[19:32] <Stealth__> Ok mate
[19:32] <Adian> anyone have any ideas for getting decent resolution with a different driver?
[19:32] <Adian> i don't need acceleration, but it's wasteful to buy a new card
[19:32] <Stealth__> tell me when its open sebsebseb
[19:34] <BrianE> Adian: You -could- try waiting to see if the computer will stall without the driver, that would give you an idea of whether it's the card or not
[19:35] <Adian> BrianE: yeah, that's the computer I'm on right now.
[19:35] <evan0> how do you restart mysql?
[19:35] <BrianE> evan0: sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart
[19:36] <evan0> it says the folder cannot be found
[19:36] <BrianE> What, /etc/init.d?
[19:36] <Adian> briane: like I said, it would be perfectly fine if I could get this up to at least 1024x768 without the nvidia driver, then I can see if it's stable.  as is, it's horrible on my aging parents' eyes
[19:36] <BrianE> Or is the 'mysql' script saying that?
[19:36] <evan0> yeat
[19:36] <evan0> *yeah
[19:36] <evan0> the first
[19:36] <pat|nG> i got it working and installed but i can't see the mini browser of opera :(
[19:36] <evan0> folder
[19:36] <BrianE> Adian: I'd have thought 800x600 would be better than 1024x768 for aging eyes =\
[19:36] <BrianE> evan0: If /etc/init.d doesn't exist, you likely aren't running Ubuntu
[19:37] <BrianE> Or, you're chrooted in some way
[19:37] <evan0> umm i am...
[19:37] <evan0> lol
[19:37] <evan0> lemme check again
[19:37] <Dj_Deutschi> Hello all
[19:37] <BrianE> Try "ls /etc/init.d", evan0
[19:37] <pat|nG> paste.ubuntu.com/488406/
[19:37] <Adian> BrianE: heh, no, you're thinking of font sizes, which I have increased
[19:37] <Dj_Deutschi> does somewone knows if there is an API or service for searching .deb packages descriptions
[19:37] <evan0> it shows up
[19:38] <BrianE> pat|nG: Could you include the "http://" of those links? Makes it easier to click
[19:38] <BrianE> evan0: "mysql" does?
[19:38] <Dj_Deutschi> I use it for a irc bot, and till now the bot was using apt-cache since it was on Ubuntu machine, but now I moved it to opensuse server ... and there is no apt-cache
[19:38] <mbroeker> Highlight: Crankygeek :)
[19:39] <Adian> as much as Debian/Ubuntu people love to say "oh well you're using nvidia, sorry can't support it" there sure isn't good support for using generic drivers even without acceleration...
[19:39] <Adian> (speaking from past experience)
[19:39] <BrianE> Dj_Deutschi: There likely aren't any APIs out there for doing it, no
[19:39] <BrianE> You could write a script or something to check the repos yourself
[19:39] <Adian> And I'm happily buying ATI cards now, but seriously, this is still a big gap
[19:39] <evan0> thats weird
[19:39] <`marianne`> my nvidia drivers stopped working after i got a crossfire motherboard (single nvidia card, til i can afford something better)
[19:40] <evan0> i cant use phpmyadmin now
[19:40] <BrianE> evan0: Could you paste the exact output of "sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart"?
[19:41] <pat|nG> http://paste.ubuntu.com/488406/
[19:41] <BrianE> pat|nG: Could you not have pasted the actual link in here?
[19:41] <BrianE> o_O
[19:41] <ravigehlot>  I edited my menu.lst file for grub. then ran grub-update. however, nothing seems to change...is there anything else that needs to be done to have the changes applied?
[19:41] <ravigehlot> !grub
[19:41] <evan0> http://paste.ubuntu.com/488409/
[19:42] <pat|nG> i'm using two pc's im in desktop and i was working on my laptop for the ubuntu
[19:42] <pat|nG> wait
[19:42] <pat|nG> i'll do it for u
[19:43] <BrianE> evan0: Try running "ps aux | grep mysqld", see if it's actually running
[19:43] <BrianE> And what does phpMyAdmin say about not being able to connect?
[19:43] <pat|nG> http://helpforlinux.blogspot.com/2008/12/use-opera-mini-in-ubuntu.html
[19:43] <BrianE> pat|nG: It's alright, I got it :P
[19:43] <CkhiKuzad> :D
[19:43] <evan0> what am i expecting
[19:43] <nooga> hi, i'm having serious problems with repairing borked ext3 partition
[19:43]  * CkhiKuzad 's 10.04 CD came today
[19:43] <nooga> i'm stuck
[19:44] <BrianE> evan0: Something along the lines of "mysql     1812  0.0  0.6<PHONE_NUMBER>8 ?        Ssl  18:44   0:01 /usr/sbin/mysqld"
[19:44] <BrianE> The numbers / etc in the middle won't be the same, though
[19:44] <evan0> nope
[19:44] <evan0> im getting some thing like
[19:45] <BrianE> evan0: Try "sudo service mysql restart"
[19:45] <evan0> evan 6346 0.0 0.0 3324 792 pts/2 S+ 14.43 0.00 grep
[19:45] <evan0> --color = auto mysqld
[19:45] <BrianE> Yeah
[19:45] <BrianE> Try "sudo service mysql restart"
[19:45] <evan0> k im waiting for it to respond
[19:46] <BrianE> Should get something like "mysql start/running, process 3685"
[19:46] <BrianE> The 3685 won't be the same, thoguh
[19:46] <duffydack> pgrep -l 'mysqld'
[19:47] <evan0> it hasn't responded
[19:47] <BrianE> duffydack: I have a habit of using "ps aux | grep", heh
[19:47] <evan0> it just says there
[19:47] <evan0> *stays
[19:47] <duffydack> I used to :)
[19:47] <evan0> i could always restart the computer
[19:48] <BrianE> evan0: Usually not needed, but it would be faster in this case than trying to debug it
[19:48] <BrianE> =\
[19:48] <BrianE> Probably a pid file stuck somewhere
[19:48] <evan0> ill restart
[19:48] <evan0> then try your command again
[19:48] <BrianE> Try "pgrep -l mysqld" when you get back
[19:48] <BrianE> :)
[19:49] <ewook> hey, how do I pipe/put strace output into a file?

[19:50] <BrianE> ewook: You're using strace and don't konw how to pipe output to a file? :O
[19:50] <BrianE> Odd, but try "strace [options] > filename"
[19:50] <Legendario> does anyone know where the  mplayerplug-in packege is?
[19:50] <jrib> Legendario: in apt, with every other package :)
[19:51] <BrianE> If you're calling it programatically, or can't use a proper shell for some reason, try looking up the manuals for strace and see if it has a flag for outputting to a file
[19:51] <duffydack> ThomasB2k, heh, would of been quicker to copy the files elsewhere and repartition/format
[19:51] <trism> ewook: strace command 2> strace.output
[19:51] <Gibbs87> I need to access a router through a graphical broswer (as the router uses javascript) so I can setup things like remote VNC connections on a server. Ive got full ssh access. Any ideas?
[19:51] <duffydack> ThomasB2k, I wouldnt touch it, unless you have a backup to recover from in case.
[19:51] <ThomasB2k> Duffydack, that's my swap.
[19:51] <jrib> Legendario: actually, you are right.  I can't find it either.  One sec
[19:52] <Legendario> jrib, it's not in lucid anymore
[19:52] <gidna> Hi
[19:52] <Legendario> jrib, it was till karmic
[19:52] <gidna> I cannot play yahoo chess game on ubuntu
[19:52] <gidna> I've installed all the java programs
[19:52] <liamsmithuk> ewook: I believe the option "-o filename" outputs it to a file
[19:53] <BrianE> liamsmithuk!!!
[19:53] <BrianE> Hai :P
[19:53] <liamsmithuk> hai
[19:53] <jrib> liamsmithuk: apparently it's replaced by gecko-mediaplayer ?
[19:54] <jrib> Legendario: apparently it's replaced by gecko-mediaplayer ?
[19:55] <Legendario> jrib, but gecko-mediaplayer is another media player different than mplayer, isn't it?
[19:55] <BrianE> gidna: Try running "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin", then restarting your browsaer
[19:55] <BrianE> Restart your browser, too
[19:55] <jrib> Legendario: not sure, but it is by the same author at least
[19:55] <jrib> Legendario: the description says it uses mplayer
[19:56] <gidna> BrianE on the ubuntu software center there is only info not install why is that?
[19:56] <BrianE> gidna: Is there "Remove"?
[19:56] <gidna> no
[19:56] <gidna> just info.. usually there is info and install
[19:56] <gidna> *More infoo
[19:56] <Legendario> jrib, well. This must be good enough....
[19:57] <BrianE> gidna: I'm not too sure... Are you using Firefox?
[19:57] <gidna> yes
[19:57] <Legendario> jrib, I'll give it a try. Let's see. Thanks.
[19:57] <BrianE> If so, when you load the page with the Java applet it should ask you if you want to install the plugin
[19:58] <gidna> sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin
[19:58] <gidna> E: Couldn't find package sun-java6-plugin
[19:59] <BrianE> Hmmph, odd
[19:59] <stealth--> sebsebseb: it broke the usb device
[19:59] <stealth--> on the main computer again
[19:59] <liamsmithuk> BrianE: that package doesn't exist for me either ;)
[19:59] <stealth--> sebsebseb: you there?
[19:59] <gidna> I cannot play chess... I need it
[20:00] <BrianE> liamsmithuk: Exists for me on 10.04 :O

[20:00] <CoolAzura> Could any please tell me how to undo a removal from the Gnome Panel?
[20:00] <BrianE> gidna: Search for "icedtea" and install "Icedtea Java Plug-In", that should work just as well
[20:00] <BrianE> CoolAzura: There is no undo - What did you remove?
[20:01] <CoolAzura> BrianE: I don't know :-/
[20:01] <gidna> I've already installed it
[20:01] <CoolAzura> BrianE: That's why I was hoping for an undo
[20:01] <BrianE> How do you know you removed something, then? :p
[20:01] <BrianE> gidna: Have you restarted your browser?
[20:01] <CoolAzura> BrianE: Because I right clicked and hit the Remove
[20:01] <gidna> yes I did
[20:02] <CoolAzura> BrianE: Rhythmbox status icon, but not sure if that was all
[20:02] <BrianE> Then I have no idea, sorry
[20:02] <gidna> I can run others java applications but not this
[20:02] <BrianE> CoolAzura: The Rhythmbox status icon is a tray icon, not a panel applet
[20:02] <BrianE> So you can't "Remove" it, per-se
[20:02] <CoolAzura> BrianE: hmm, somehow i typed and it didn't take all of it, "it was holding the icon"
[20:02] <trism> CoolAzura: rhythmbox icon is now part of indicator applet, so add that back to your panel
[20:03] <CoolAzura> trism: ahh, thanks :)
[20:03] <BrianE> It is?
[20:03]  * BrianE doh's
[20:04] <sebsebseb> stealth--: ok your re making a bootable USB stick :)
[20:04] <CoolAzura> trism: BrianE: alright it's fixed now, Thanks for the help.
[20:05] <BrianE> I gave you the wrong advice, heh
[20:05] <CoolAzura> BrianE: still tried to help
[20:05] <CoolAzura> BrianE: Have to appreciate that :)
[20:08] <cardamon> Oh man, that was weird.  I go to bed, netbooks's in hibernate.  I wake up, boot up, and I've got no wireless.  As in, the interface is MISSING.  I reboot again and check the BIOS and the wireless lan device itself is actually disabled.  I fixed it from there, but that's really freaking weird.
[20:10] <Stealth-> sebsebseb:
[20:10] <Stealth-> i am back
[20:10] <psion> cardamon: you have an interface gnome
[20:11] <regeya> whoo.  elementary is freakin' sweet.

[20:11] <psion> what is this elementary that you speak of
[20:12] <BrianE> psion: A new Ubuntu derivative that looks sexy
[20:12] <BrianE> http://www.elementary-project.com/
[20:12] <liamsmithuk> psion: on you can find the theme and icon theme on launchpad under elementaryart
[20:13] <guntbert> gidna: I have no solution for you but the next time when you talk to someone put their nick in front of your sentence, that makes conversations much easier to follow and will alert your partner that you said something
[20:14] <gidna> when I copy and paste the nick it puts brackets <guntbert>
[20:14] <wildc4rd> ok I'm stuck, in netbook reminx 9.10, every time I configure the display configuration all the menus disappear, any ideas why, or how to retrieve them?
[20:15] <guntbert> gidna: type the first few characters (gun) then press the <tab> key to autocomplete
[20:16] <gidna> thanks
[20:17] <guntbert> gidna: as for sun-java: did you enable the partner reository?
[20:18] <gidna> I'm trying to remove Icedta and install java sun
[20:18] <nytek_> im having loading my broadcom wireless card at startup, I keep having to compile and install the driver everytime my computer boots
[20:18] <nytek_> i edited my rc.conf to load the module but it doesnt load it
[20:18] <nytek_> any ideas?
[20:19] <gidna> guntbert, no I didn't How should I do to install sun java?
[20:19] <guntbert> !java | gidna
[20:20] <gidna> How Do I search in !partner repository
[20:20] <gidna> ?
[20:21] <guntbert> gidna: to enable the partner repo: go to system/administration/software sources; "Other Software"
[20:22] <Datz> does a security update indicate a kernel update which will require a restart?
[20:22] <jrib> Datz: not necessarily
[20:23] <tripps> sorry if this is a double post - don't think I was connected: any updates on this bug yet? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/380126 - really would like at least a workaround to use my multitouch touchpad
[20:23] <Datz> jrib: ok, thanks
[20:24] <edbian> Datz, You can always see what the updates are though.  AFAIK all kernel updates require a restart
[20:24] <evan0> BrianE: hey lol i went to mcdonalds and came back and i still cant start up mysql
[20:24] <snowmansmartie> hi guys, im new to Ubuntu, like 2 days installed :D, and I have lost the message menu icon from the top right panel.  Can someone help me to get it back?  cheers
[20:24] <Datz> edbian: true, thanks
[20:25] <jrib> evan0: because visiting mcodonalds fixes mysql problems?  I don't get it :P
[20:25] <edbian> snowmansmartie, Add the "notification area" to that panel.
[20:26] <gidna> guntbert, it works now.. thanks
[20:26] <Datz> heh. security update was just for wget :P
[20:26] <snowmansmartie> edbian, thanks, another dumb question, where do I find the notification area?
[20:26] <evan0> jrib: problems come from being hungry you know
[20:26] <edbian> snowmansmartie, Right click the panel.  Add to panel -> notification area is in that list.
[20:27] <evan0> so any help on restarting mysql? i was able to logon to phpmyadmin before and now it just says i cant login
[20:28] <guntbert> gidna: you're welcome :-)
[20:28] <Datz> what about /etc/init.d/mysql restart
[20:28] <DrManhattan> anyone here tried cinelerra?
[20:29] <jrib> DrManhattan: no (ask your real question)
[20:29] <evan0> i got a response but i dont  think its the right one
[20:29] <evan0> lemme get pastebin
[20:29] <gidna> another issue... at the boot time there's something that fails to load.. but I can't see what is beacause is too fast
[20:30] <evan0> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/fCXrvmZy
[20:30] <DrManhattan> jrib, that WAS my real question. Just wanted to see if anyone's used it on ubuntu and what their experience with it was.
[20:30] <evan0> thats my response
[20:30] <snowmansmartie> edbian, thank you for that, just havnt got the envelope icon in there?
[20:30] <evan0> i tried to run the command it tells me but it just stays there
[20:30] <jrib> DrManhattan: this channel is for support.  If that's really your question, try #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:30] <edbian> gidna, ctrl + alt + F1   then shift + pageup or pagedown to scroll and ctrl + alt + F7 to get back.
[20:30] <edbian> snowmansmartie, Do you have evolution installed?
[20:30] <snowmansmartie> yeah I do
[20:31] <DrManhattan> jrib, jeez, who peed in your cheerios?
[20:31] <evan0> ugh
[20:31] <Chr|s> DrManhattan: its offtopic what you are asking is all
[20:31] <Chr|s> !offtopic | DrManhattan
[20:31] <evan0> i cant even start mysql it just sits there with a blinking cursor
[20:32] <edbian> snowmansmartie, That panel applet really isn't supposed to be started and stopped.  It's a bug that not all the icons are there that are supposed to be.  I suspect that rebooting will bring them all up though.
[20:32] <snowmansmartie> I have tried a reboot (cold), and nothing.
[20:32] <YankDownUnder> DrManhattan, Mate - Cinelerra is a tough interface to get used to, however, both it and LIVES work - just a matter of getting used to 'em - there's also a channel called #openvideo for them - and if you're really interested, there is also Openshot Video Editor for quickie editing that's quite nice, and their channel is #openshot. S'all good.
[20:33] <DrManhattan> thanks!
[20:33] <edbian> snowmansmartie, Mmm, that's odd.  I'm not sure!
[20:33] <snowmansmartie> ok, thanks for youre help so far
[20:34] <evan0> um...
[20:34] <evan0> i cant even uninstall mysql
[20:34] <evan0> any help? theres like some lock on i
[20:35] <starnostar> anyone know if hd 4250 in compatible with ubuntu, couldnt find anything on google
[20:35] <starnostar> its the mobile/notebook card
[20:35] <Oer> evan0,  stop mysql first. as a service
[20:35] <erUSUL> starnostar: should be
[20:35] <erUSUL> starnostar: either radeon driver or fglrx
[20:35] <madmike> starnostar, is that the GFX card?
[20:35] <J381> can someone help me?
[20:35] <madmike> ah lol
[20:35] <starnostar> http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0337391
[20:36] <starnostar> this computer
[20:36] <Lint01> how to make dolphin to mount the disks?
[20:36] <J381> i have a netgear router and ubuntu 10.04 dual booted with w7
[20:36] <starnostar> this card
[20:36] <starnostar> ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250
[20:36] <J381> i can connect to the internet fine in w7
[20:36] <madmike> starnostar, I'm pretty sure it will work
[20:36] <evan0> Oer: k thanks
[20:36] <evan0> thats worked
[20:36] <Oer> :-)
[20:36] <madmike> Ubuntu has been great for me with nearly EVERYTHING I've installed it on!
[20:36] <J381> but cannot in ubuntu get it to auto connect
[20:36] <J381> why?
[20:36] <starnostar> ok, will it do hardware detection, or am i gonna have to install a driver manually?
[20:37] <madmike> hmmm
[20:37] <evan0> now lets hope it can start again after i reinstall it
[20:37] <evan0> *i
[20:37] <YankDownUnder> J381, Setup the router to automatically do your connection, issue resolved.
[20:37] <madmike> can't really answer that one
[20:37] <madmike> im not to sure!
[20:37] <J381> how YankDownUnder ?
[20:37] <Oer> evan0, something like /etc/init.d/mysqld start
[20:37] <madmike> only one way to find out ;)
[20:37] <evan0> um...
[20:37] <starnostar> im assuming because there are NO google results for the card under ubuntu, that means that nobody had problems with it
[20:38] <evan0> i cant install mysql
[20:38] <evan0> again
[20:38] <evan0> it looks like a lock
[20:38] <madmike> makes sense! haha! :p
[20:38] <Lint01> what does this mean-> org.freedesktop.hal.device.volume.permision denied: refusing to mount /dev/sda2 for uid=1000?
[20:38] <evan0> wtf
[20:38] <YankDownUnder> j381, If you look through your router's manual, you'll see where you can set it up to login to your ISP internally, then you just connect to the router with whatever type of system you wish - the connection is already made.
[20:38] <amabo> does anyone here happen to know where google chrome extensions are stored on the file system?
[20:38] <evan0> i did the stop thing again and it completed
[20:38] <Oer> evan0,  logout & login, then the service should be deleted, then re-install ?
[20:38] <J381> huh YankDownUnder, i dont understand
[20:39] <evan0> k
[20:39] <YankDownUnder> J381, Have you read through the manual for your router yet?
[20:40] <J381> yes... but i dont remember anything like you describe
[20:40] <michaelxq> i have tried to install my camera through the instractions of this webpage but nothing is done...http://bigbrovar.wordpress.com/2008/08/17/ubuntu-on-sony-vaio-fz21e/  do you know any other way?
[20:41] <YankDownUnder> J381, In most instances, the router can be setup with your username and password for your ISP, therefore performing your actual connection. Afterwhich, all you have to do is to connect your machine (regardless of OS) to the router and you're connected.
[20:41] <J381> YDU- I am on a laptop
[20:42] <YankDownUnder> J381, That doesn't matter what you're on.
[20:42] <tripps> here's an unusual question - i connect my android phone to my laptop to do dev work which charges the phone from the laptop's battery (which in this case is also unplugged). I don't want it to charge my phone, but I do want all the other USB connectivity. Is there a way to specifically disable the power charging function of a usb port in ubuntu?
[20:42] <evan0> Oer: that didnt work
[20:42] <evan0> it still seems to look like its locked
[20:42] <evan0> im going to completely reinstall lamp
[20:42] <michaelxq> i have tried to install my camera through the instractions of this webpage but nothing is done. http://bigbrovar.wordpress.com/2008/08/17/ubuntu-on-sony-vaio-fz21e/  do you know any other way?
[20:42] <Oer> evan0 pastebin the error ?
[20:43] <evan0> no error
[20:43] <evan0> it just stalls and doesnt go to the next step
[20:43] <mneptok> !repeat | michaelxq
[20:43] <J381> YDU- I am on my netgear router control panel page what do i set up now?
[20:44] <michaelxq> mneptok, sorry
[20:44] <mneptok> michaelxq: no problem. just be patient.
[20:44] <guntbert> evan0: usually deinstalling/reinstalling helps nothing...
[20:44] <YankDownUnder> J381, Mate, that's something you're going to have to either read up on, or check out on the Netgear site. I can only tell you that you have to set the router up for automatic login to your ISP. That's actually more than outside "Ubuntu" help.
[20:44] <evan0> then...
[20:44] <evan0> what should i do
[20:44] <mrc3> hello! how can i dd maverick's img.gz file onto my sd card?
[20:44] <mneptok> evan0: what is the exact error message you get when trying to install MySQL?
[20:45] <evan0> there isnt an error
[20:45] <evan0> it just stops continuing after setting up mysql-server.5.1
[20:45] <evan0> i mean
[20:45] <evan0> the terminal says setting up mysql-server
[20:45] <guntbert> evan0: 1) don't use <enter> so much, 2) use the nick of a person you are talking to, 3) tell me what your problem is
[20:46] <michaelxq> mneptok, should i repeat my self now? :)
[20:46] <evan0> guntbert: bad habit. anyway, can install mysql, cant start it, was working before but now its not
[20:46] <evan0> *cant
[20:46] <mneptok> michaelxq: wait at least 10 minutes before repeating, please
[20:46] <michaelxq> mneptok, ok...
[20:46] <guntbert> evan0: is mysql installed?
[20:46] <mneptok> evan0: if it was working before, why are you trying to install it again?
[20:47] <evan0> guntbert: i thought uninstalled it
[20:47] <ipatrol> I was installing Lucid on a VBox when I noticed that the mouse pointer was integrated even during install, is this some new thing?
[20:47] <RF_> hi
[20:47] <evan0> guntbert: sudo apt-get remove mysql-server
[20:47] <mneptok> evan0: did you stop the running mysql process before purging/removing?
[20:47] <evan0> yes
[20:47] <Geister> I found a bug in Ubuntu but don't feel like creating a launchpad account to report it. What else can I do? I really think Ubuntu should have anonymous bug reports available.
[20:47] <mneptok> evan0: how did you do that? what command?
[20:47] <ipatrol> Geister: what is it?
[20:47] <evan0> um, sudo service mysql stop
[20:48] <RF_> anyone here have any experience with Marvell Armada 510
[20:48] <Linden940> hey I have 2 hard drives and one has 10.04 and the other has the 10.10 beta...how can i make it so that i can pick witch one I want to start? I have been messing with this for a wile and starting 2 lose alot of hair lol
[20:48] <ipatrol> Geister: we don't allow anonymous bug reports because your repeated input is essential in solving any bug
[20:48] <delinquentme> im having issues w flash on chrome for ubuntu
[20:48] <smw> RF_, ask a question. If anyone knows they will probably respond
[20:48] <delinquentme> anyone have any suggestions??
[20:49] <ipatrol> delinquentme: use gnash instead?
[20:49] <guntbert> Geister: noone will file a bug on your behalf - please do it yourself
[20:49] <ipatrol> !flash
[20:49] <Linden940> anyone got a clue?
[20:49] <gaborn> hello :) I am looking for some tool(gui would be nice :)) that search through given directory and returns files that have duplicity there(at any subdirectory..) Thx for advice
[20:49] <ipatrol> !bugs
[20:49] <smw> ipatrol, don't recommend gnash. That is just cruel :-P
[20:49] <kaddi> heh
[20:49] <jrib> gaborn: fdupes (not gui)
[20:49] <ipatrol> smw: why?
[20:49] <ipatrol> !gnash
[20:49] <Geister> ipatrol: I agree with that, being a developer myself it does help to have repeated input, but sometimes it's nice to just report a bug quickly and not have to go through a long process.
[20:49] <alkisg> Linden940: didn't grub2 pick up both of them automatically? You're seeing only one now?
[20:49] <smw> ipatrol, it does not work. I have tried it.
[20:50] <delinquentme> im not trying to switch browsers ... gnash is a flash substitute?
[20:50] <evan0> so no ideas?
[20:50] <ipatrol> Geister: send something to the mailing list then
[20:50] <gaborn> jrib: thx .. and what about gui  ?:)
[20:50] <ipatrol> delinquentme: yes, but it's still beta
[20:50] <Linden940> alkisg, grub2 will only boot into the one drive....it wont see the other...but if i unplug the 10.04 then it will boot into the 10.10
[20:50] <Realcoolguy9> delinquentme, I have a netbook that while it has a reasonable atom processor the display adapter is very very weak, and just doesn't like flash regardless of OS, os performance is poor across OS.  However you seem to indicate that you had it working better under another setup.
[20:50] <Geister> ipatrol: Good idea, thanks.
[20:50] <smw> delinquentme, gnash is a free (as in speech) substitute. IT does not really work...
[20:50] <jsemar> hey guys, I've just updated ubuntu to 10.04 on a vmware image, i think i used the exisiting grub conf file, anyway, now I am getting drive at uuid=22421xxx does not exist or is not ready when trying to bood, fdisk -l and df -h both show /dev/sda1 is available and mounted on
[20:50] <jsemar>  /
[20:50] <jsemar>  bood=boot
[20:51] <alkisg> Linden940: and if you run "update-grub", it doesn't see the OS in the other drive?
[20:51] <RF_> ok, im running ubuntu on a Marvell Armada development board and everything is running OK, however the board has a GC600 graphics chip and I do not understand how to get it to get hardware accelleration to run. Do I need to install something ?
[20:51] <guntbert> !who | evan0
[20:51] <ipatrol> since when did Ubuntu support VM pointer integration right out of the proverbial box?
[20:51] <Linden940> did not update the grub..did not think of that...whats the code line for that?
[20:51] <Linden940> <<4got
[20:51] <smw> delinquentme, what exactly is wrong with flash on your computer?
[20:51] <delinquentme> nah ive got a 2 gig dual core .. i can play starcraft np

[20:52] <Geister> guntbert: I know it is bad to reference this, but Windows has an automatic crash reporting tool that is completely anonymous. I know Ubuntu has one, but it requires a launchpad account. For this, I know of many crash reports that never made it to the devs.
[20:52] <evan0> guntbert mneptok: any of you two have an idea?
[20:52] <delinquentme> on chrome it says missing plugin
[20:52] <ipatrol> Geister: evil, evil toung
[20:52] <smw> delinquentme, is it there on firefox?
[20:52]  * Linden940 hits head and puts the beer down
[20:52] <mneptok> evan0: sudo invoke-rc.d mysql stop && sudo apt-get purge mysql-server mysql && sudo apt-get install mysql-server
[20:52] <delinquentme> firefox is simply black
[20:52] <delinquentme> no vid .. no scrub bar
[20:52] <smw> delinquentme, try installing flashplugin-nonfree
[20:52] <mneptok> evan0: sudo invoke-rc.d mysql stop && sudo apt-get purge mysql-server && sudo apt-get install mysql-server
[20:52] <ipatrol> Geister: M$ does that by invading your privacy, copying your logs and system files
[20:52] <mneptok> evan0: (sorry, got ahead of myswlf)
[20:53] <evan0> mneptok: the did the first script and ran into the same problem again
[20:53] <delinquentme> smw .. use sudoapt-get or package manager?
[20:53] <smw> delinquentme, in a terminal, you can type sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[20:53] <guntbert> Geister: discussing the policy of the bug squad is not really on topic here :-)
[20:53] <mneptok> evan0: huh?
[20:53] <smw> delinquentme, either one works
[20:53] <delinquentme> kk
[20:53] <evan0> it just hangs mid way through the command
[20:53] <smw> are the floodbots at war? lol
[20:53] <YankDownUnder> delinquentme, If Flash is simply black, and Chrome is not playing Flash - have you checked to see if something may have installed or changed your RGBA settings? I know that some themes that are installed WILL do so - along with some of the "extra bits" to Nautilus Elementary....just wondering mate.
[20:53] <Geister> guntbert: Sorry about this. I actually wanted to know if there was a way to report bugs anonymously in a quick manner. Guess not.
[20:53] <vwyodapink> I am on 10.04 and my laptop fan does not seem to run how do I go about fixing it
[20:54] <mneptok> evan0: there is *no* way you ran that command in the time it took to answer
[20:54] <guntbert> Geister: as ipatrol already suggested: send a mail...
[20:54] <ipatrol> Geister: Free software works differently, each user is a person, not just a number
[20:54] <delinquentme> OH CHROMES theme??
[20:54] <evan0> :( your doubt in me is saddening
[20:54] <Oer> vwyodapink, brand laptop ?
[20:54] <delinquentme> or ubuntu gnome themes??
[20:54] <ipatrol> Join the community and be constructive!
[20:54] <vwyodapink> dell xps m140
[20:54] <mneptok> evan0: it will take at least 20 seconds to purge mysql-server
[20:54] <delinquentme> my ubntu theme is stock
[20:54] <Geister> ipatrol: I definitely agree with you. Filing my bug report at the moment.
[20:54] <evan0> im not purging it
[20:54] <YankDownUnder> delinquentme, Gnome themes or Nautilus Elementary stuff.
[20:54] <ipatrol> you joined?
[20:54] <evan0> omg nvm
[20:55] <gaborn> And one more question :) Is there any chance to get working full 3D support with my ATI FIRE GL V5200 - notebook IBM T60p - it has been removed from off. driver release and other free drivers won't work perfectly - no acc in vmware,lower performance,etc...
[20:55] <mneptok> evan0: well, you would be if you ran the command i gave you
[20:55] <delinquentme> and im getting "Invalid operatioin flashplugin0free"
[20:55] <evan0> wow... it took like a minute just to stop it
[20:55] <delinquentme> and im getting "Invalid operatioin flashplugin-nonfree"**
[20:55] <ipatrol> that doesn't look right
[20:55] <vwyodapink> 0er, dell xps m140

[20:55] <michaelxq> does anyone knows how to install the camera drivers for my sony vaio vgn-fz21e
[20:55] <smw> delinquentme, in a terminal, you can type sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[20:55] <MuNKyN1Nj4> Dont move them back
[20:55] <YankDownUnder> delinquentme, I'll assume, with all faith, that you're actually reading what I'm typing and checking before answering, yes?
[20:55] <smw> !who | delinquentme
[20:55] <delinquentme> smw .. thats what i did :D
[20:56] <ipatrol> michaelxq: start by googling, it will usually know more than we do
[20:56] <smw> delinquentme, did you copy and paste?
[20:56] <smw> delinquentme, did you include "install"
[20:56] <delinquentme> OHhhhh
[20:56] <delinquentme> formatting
[20:56] <smw> delinquentme, ?
[20:56] <guntbert> evan0: if you don't use the nick of a person they will not notice that you answered, ....
[20:56] <vwyodapink> Oer, dell xps m140
[20:56] <evan0> guntbert: i understand
[20:56] <michaelxq> ipatrol, to be honest i've tried but didn't make it..some errors came up during the installation
[20:57] <ipatrol> michaelxq: with what driver?
[20:57] <michaelxq> r5u870
[20:57] <michaelxq> ipatrol,r5u870
[20:57] <ipatrol> michaelxq: URL?
[20:57] <guntbert> evan0: so repeat you last answer (the wow...) with the appropriate nick in front
[20:57] <guntbert> *your
[20:57] <evan0> mneptok: i did what you said and i cant login to mysql
[20:57] <michaelxq> ipatrol, w8
[20:57] <ipatrol> some days I wish this channel were more subdivided
[20:57] <delinquentme> i was thinking like encoded formatting .. but the terminal is sanitized right .. nah heres the line:  unf@unf:~$ sudo apt-get flashplugin-nonfree
[20:58] <michaelxq> ipatrol, http://bigbrovar.wordpress.com/2008/08/17/ubuntu-on-sony-vaio-fz21e/
[20:58] <Oer> vwyodapink, install gkrellm and i8kutils to get fan working
[20:58] <mneptok> evan0: how are you trying to lig in?
[20:58] <delinquentme> smw, .. and i get E: Invalid operation flashplugin-nonfree
[20:58] <Geister> I found a bug related to either the locked screen prompt, the user system, or the graphical utility users-admin. I just don't know where to report it, shall I report it for all three and let the devs triage it?
[20:58] <evan0> mneptok: phpmyadmin
[20:58] <vwyodapink> Oer, thanks I will try right now.
[20:58] <smw> delinquentme, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[20:58] <mneptok> evan0: try a command-line login first
[20:58] <ipatrol> michaelxq: those drivers are five years outdated
[20:59] <smw> delinquentme, between apt-get and the package name is the operation to preform
[20:59] <evan0> mneptok: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'
[20:59] <MuNKyN1Nj4> delinquentme:  it should be apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[20:59] <mneptok> evan0: using what command?
[20:59] <ipatrol> nowait, HH was released in 2008, 2 years old
[20:59] <michaelxq> ipatrol, where can i find new way?
[20:59] <MuNKyN1Nj4> or apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree
[20:59] <smw> MuNKyN1Nj4, I have told him that 3 times now.
[20:59] <bsanders> Hey all, what's the package name(s) for the Sun jre/firefox plugin?
[20:59] <evan0> sudo mysql
[20:59] <evan0> mneptok:  sudo mysql
[21:00] <smw> !java | bsanders
[21:00] <ipatrol> michaelxq: You need to google with the version you use
[21:00] <Oer> vwyodapink, see synaptic > i8kutils utilities for Dell Inspiron and Latitude laptops, It includes programs to turn the fan on and off, to read fanstatus, CPU temperature, BIOS version and to handle the volume buttonsand Fn-keys.
[21:00] <mneptok> evan0: sudo mysql -u root
[21:00] <delinquentme> MuNKyN1Nj4, smw, thanks .. checked out... no just reboot chrome?
[21:00] <michaelxq> ipatrol, you mean ubuntu 10.04?
[21:00] <evan0> mneptok: same responce
[21:00] <vwyodapink> Oer, thanks but when I install i8kutils it gave me : Setting up i8kutils (1.33) ...
[21:00] <vwyodapink>  * Not starting. Disabled via /etc/default/i8kmon.
[21:00] <vwyodapink>  * Not starting. Disabled via /etc/default/i8kbuttons.
[21:00] <evan0> *response
[21:00] <RF_> so is anyone working on ubuntu and Marvell Armamda 510?
[21:00] <smw> delinquentme, yes, reboot chrome
[21:00] <MuNKyN1Nj4> delinquientme: yes
[21:00] <mneptok> evan0: sudo invoke-rc.d mysql-server restart
[21:00] <guntbert> Geister: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage
[21:01] <ipatrol> michaelxq: Karmic Koala? Lucid Lynx? Maverick Meerakat?
[21:01] <mneptok> evan0: make sure it's running
[21:01] <Geister> guntbert: Thanks!
[21:01] <Oer> vwyodapink, maybe reboot is needed, this is core
[21:01] <michaelxq> ipatrol, ok...i'll search and let you know
[21:01] <guntbert> Geister: you're welcome :-)
[21:01] <evan0> mneptok: can you paste that again? i accidently cleared my irc chat box
[21:01] <ipatrol> michaelxq: 10.04 is Lucid Lynx, google that
[21:01] <delinquentme> smw, still says missing plugin....
[21:01] <mneptok> evan0: sudo invoke-rc.d mysql-server restart
[21:02] <bsanders> smw: I'm on meerkat amd64, and sun-java6 turns up nothing.  Is it unsupported on that setup?
[21:02] <vwyodapink> Oer, ok got ya thanks a million I searched for awhile with no luck. I appreciate your time and help
[21:02] <Oer> vwyodapink, have fun :-)
[21:02] <smw> delinquentme, go to about:plugins in chrome and tell me what is there
[21:02] <evan0> mneptok: invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/mysql-server not found.
[21:02] <smw> bsanders, you need the partner repo.
[21:02] <mneptok> evan0: sudo invoke-rc.d mysql restart
[21:02] <ipatrol> evan0: you need to remove that line manually
[21:03] <smw> !partner > bsanders
[21:03] <guntbert> !maverick > bsanders
[21:04] <delinquentme> whats the difference between gdebi and the application manager??
[21:04] <delinquentme> "ubuntu software manager"
[21:04] <smw> delinquentme, gdebi installs debs.
[21:04] <erUSUL> delinquentme: gdebi is a gui to install individual deb files you have previously download
[21:04] <smw> delinquentme, the ubuntu software manager downloads and installs from repos
[21:04] <erUSUL> delinquentme: managind dependencies
[21:05] <delinquentme> Ahh ok so the software manager is OFFICIAL ubuntu software .. and the gdebi will install anything thats a debi file
[21:05] <evan0> mneptok: how long should this take?
[21:05] <delinquentme> smw, im reinstalling it real fast
[21:05] <lxndr> i just upgraded to lucid lynx and now the gui is failing to load, also, the computer fails to recognize the internet, so future aptitude attempts all fail. how can i get at least the cli to recognize the ethernet cable attached?
[21:05] <edbian> delinquentme, debi file is a .deb (a debian package)  other than that yes you're right.
[21:05] <strange> !controls
[21:06] <smw> delinquentme, the software manager can install from unofficial locations too. But you need to tell it where to look (by adding repos)
[21:06] <delinquentme> yeah i recall doing that w skype
[21:07] <smw> delinquentme, isn't skype in the partner repo?
[21:07] <jsemar> so Ive just ubgraded to 10.04 on a VM, and when i boot I get an error like 'drive on UUID=<a uuid not even close to my /dev/sda1/> does not exist or is not ready>, it looks like it is trying to mount a drive that no longer exists, however, the boot menu is trying to boot the correct uuid
[21:07] <guntbert> lxndr: you said you are on a wired network?
[21:08] <michaelxq> ipatrol, Something wicked happened resolving 'ppa.launchpad.net:http'
[21:08] <ipatrol> jsemar: try creating a new vm and have the old VDI as a second drive for recovery?
[21:08] <lxndr> my lucid upgrade failed, it is now only booting to the command line and cannot connect to the internet. how can i recover?
[21:08] <ipatrol> michaelxq: that's not even a valid URI
[21:08] <guntbert> michaelxq: that means DNS resolution is not working correctly
[21:08] <RF_> anyone working with Lucid <IP_ADDRESS>-dove-5.3.2
[21:08] <delinquentme> smw, reinstalled chrome .. and flashplugin-nonfree is still installed... do they default to being configured to work w each other??
[21:08] <michaelxq> ipatrol, what should i do?
[21:09] <jsemar> ipatrol: no, just trying to update to 10.04.. I dont know what a VDI is
[21:09] <smw> delinquentme, yes
[21:09] <smw> delinquentme, why did you reinstall chrome?
[21:09] <ipatrol> jsemar: the hard disc file on the host
[21:09] <evan0> mneptok: its been quite awhile and the command hasnt completed
[21:09] <guntbert> ipatrol: don't bother with "not a valid url" its just a weird way to report a failed DNS lookup
[21:09] <smw> delinquentme, in the url bar type about:plugins and tell me what is on that page
[21:09] <delinquentme> i was hoping the popups would come up w the options to dl plugins
[21:10] <ipatrol> guntbert: well then file a bug
[21:10] <smw> delinquentme, it should be installed
[21:10] <lxndr> how can i configure lucid to let me connect to the internet when it will not boot to the gui? i need access to the packages. please help.
[21:10] <smw> delinquentme, if it is still not working on firefox. Something else is wrong
[21:10] <ossfm> lxndr: try "ifconfig eth0 up". of course you need to have an ethernet cable plugged in.
[21:11] <delinquentme> chrome PDF viewer .. itunes app detector .. VEL multimedia plugin .. windows media player plugin... divx web player .. quicktime plugin.. shockwave flash.. default plugin-in ..
[21:11] <guntbert> ipatrol: I don't care :-), I wanted to prevent you from getting distracted in michaelxq's problem :-)
[21:11] <YankDownUnder> delinquentme, Search in your package manager for anything related to RGBA and see if it's installed. If it is, remove it. Logout, and try Chrome and FF again.
[21:11] <guntbert> lxndr: you said you are on a wired network?
[21:11] <lxndr> ossfm there is a cable plugged in. ifconfig gives me a permission denied.
[21:11] <smw> delinquentme, shockwave flash, is it enabled?
[21:11] <lxndr> guntbert i am on a wired network
[21:11] <delinquentme> nope
[21:11] <ossfm> lxndr: put sudo in front of ifconfig
[21:12] <michaelxq> gunbert, ???????????????
[21:12] <smw> delinquentme, maybe you should press the enable button?
[21:12] <smw> delinquentme, also, what does it say is the path?
[21:12] <smw> delinquentme, or actually, I want the description
[21:12] <delinquentme> it is enabled lolol
[21:13] <smw> delinquentme, ok, what is the description
[21:13] <RF_> I'll come back when Taiwan wakes up i guess...
[21:13] <lxndr> ossfm that did not give errors. sadly, it is still unable to resolve any addresses. any other advice? im stranded in an unfamiliar city with a broken computer.
[21:13] <b3ntH00ti3> Hows it going....  Question:        if I set up a proxy that sits behind my isp router how would I run a service on that "proxy address"   I have all traffic routed back to my internal machine, but I dont want to use my public addresss is there away I can use a proxy address and have all the connections going there forwarded over to my internal box?
[21:14] <delinquentme> shockwave flash ... shockwave  flash 9.0 r999 disable
[21:14] <guntbert> michaelxq: you get that line ( something wicked....) when apt is unable to find the IP address of ppa.launchpad.net  (the http part is just nonsense)
[21:14] <delinquentme> smw,  thats what it says on the area for shockwave flash
[21:14] <smw> delinquentme, disable?
[21:14] <doxy2> hi
[21:15] <delinquentme> yeah .. its the option TO disable
[21:15] <delinquentme> it toggles it
[21:15] <smw> delinquentme, wait, what is the path (under description)
[21:15] <RF_> doxy2, hi
[21:15] <guntbert> b3ntH00ti3: how is that an ubuntu support question?
[21:15] <doxy2> seems like an obvious question but can't find an answer for it anywhere: which package provides wmv support for chromium?
[21:15] <paddy_> mp3 is to lame as mp4 is to *****?
[21:15] <delinquentme> /usr/lib/swfdec-mozilla/libswfdecmozilla.so
[21:16] <guntbert> !ot | paddy_
[21:16] <smw> delinquentme, there is your problem!
[21:16] <b3ntH00ti3> guntbert: Yeah I guess your right...
[21:16] <delinquentme> why is it mozilla >_<
[21:16] <b3ntH00ti3> : -  (  sorry....
[21:16] <smw> delinquentme, you need to uninstall swfdec
[21:16] <paddy_> guntbert i dont see how that is offtopic
[21:16] <RF_> doxy2, you need ffmpeg or gstreamer
[21:16] <b3ntH00ti3> Thanks again..
[21:16] <smw> delinquentme, I believe that is sudo apt-get remove swfdec
[21:16] <delinquentme> sudo uninstall swfdec ??
[21:16] <guntbert> paddy_:  how is that an ubuntu support question?
[21:17] <ossfm> lxndr: try "sudo dhclient". maybe that will get you an IP address.
[21:17] <doxy2> RF_: i think i got both installed - there a generic browser module. mozilla plugins shouldn't work
[21:17] <doxy2> ?
[21:17] <delinquentme> meh. couldnt find package swfdec???
[21:17] <paddy_> guntbert i am trying to read/write mp4 files on a ubutnu box.
[21:17] <lxndr> my lucid upgrade borked my computer. the gui fails, leaving it to boot into the command line interdace. attempts to fix this are failing because it does not recognize the active ethernet cable oalready attached. how do i fix this?
[21:17] <bastidrazor> paddy_: use mplayer or vlc
[21:18] <lxndr> ossfm that worked, thanks. any suggestions as to how to fix the install?
[21:18] <smw> delinquentme, you do not need 3 questions marks. Also please use my name in every message. Anyways, sudo apt-cache search swfdec
[21:18] <delinquentme> smw .. can i remove this in the app manager?
[21:18] <RF_> doxy2, what do you have installed Totem?
[21:18] <smw> delinquentme, why not?
[21:18] <guntbert> paddy_: ah, you could have asked "how can I read/write mp4 files?"   (sorry, I don't know the answer)
[21:18] <smw> delinquentme, just search for swfdec
[21:18] <ossfm> lxndr: try "sudo apt-get update" and then "sudo apt-get upgrade". Maybe that will install the packages you  need.
[21:19] <paddy_> bastidrasor I am doing it with gtkpod and i dont know what encoder it is trying to use but i know it cant find it.
[21:19] <delinquentme> smw, heres the readout http://pastie.org/1138442
[21:19] <ilumi> the 10.10 beta comes with some kind of flash preinstalled, which doesnt work with youtube, anyone know what it is and how to remove it?
[21:20] <smw> delinquentme, sudo apt-get remove swfdec-mozilla
[21:20] <paddy_> bastidrazor it uses lame for mp3
[21:20] <lxndr> ossfm errors are happening. moving off my droid and back to the puter w/ irssi
[21:20] <smw> delinquentme, then restart chrome
[21:20] <guntbert> !meerkat | ilumi
[21:20] <RF_> doxy2, if you downlaod a wmv onto you hardrive and play it back with Totem then you willknow youhave the correct codecs installed
[21:21] <delinquentme> smw.. check. shes All go ... youtube vids and all ... now will firefox still play video?
[21:21] <aeon-ltd> delinquentme: well only one way to know
[21:21] <delinquentme> hah yeah
[21:22] <delinquentme> its all good
[21:22] <doxy2> RF_: but that doesn't automatically mean that chromium should be able to play it :) ?
[21:22] <smw> delinquentme, now it should start working in firefox too. But as aeon-ltd said, you should know better than me
[21:22] <delinquentme> thanks smw
[21:22] <doxy2> RF_: anyway, i'm trying to stream it, maybe i should hav mentioned that
[21:22] <Edub05> hello, is it possible to install ubuntu server over a slackware install remotely while remoted in to said slackware install via ssh?
[21:23] <paddy_> edub05 i seccond that
[21:23] <doxy2> RF_: ah, nvm, it's the page that's not working
[21:23] <doxy2> thanks for the help
[21:23] <smw> Edub05, in theory. But it is not every worth the effort
[21:23] <RF_> ok
[21:23] <smw> Edub05, you need to be an expert to begin with. And it is just far too difficult to make sense
[21:24] <smw> Edub05, it is a fun project though...
[21:24] <Edub05> kinda what I figured.. might help me down the road to becoming an expert tho eh?
[21:24] <aeon-ltd> Edub05: why not just install the server tools you need on the slackware install?
[21:24] <Lxndr> ossfm, are you still here? I'm on my irssi.
[21:25] <smw> Edub05, If this is for fun... I would do it on an ec2 machine so I could reset the state to a normal install.
[21:25] <ossfm> lxndr: still here.
