[03:45] <ripdisk> I'm trying to switch my Gforce video card for a radeon (using regular radeon driver), but i can't get the geforce driver to stop loading so there is an error every time I boot
[03:46] <Axident> Please help! Some one please tell me the secret about installing Ubuntu. I tryed to make partitions my self from live, and then start installation from both live desktop and cd. I also tryed to let Ubuntu installation use the complete hdd. Every time with same result at mounting the swap partition. It fail. Maybe I have to mention I have two hdd installed in my pc. Dev0 for windows and dev1 for Ubuntu!
[03:46] <Ubantu_dude> Jon--: maybe just get the deb and install it with dpkg
[03:46] <gogeta> daniel__: looks like using force works line
[03:46] <Reign25> Jordan_U: You there?
[03:46] <th54181> Does anybody know whether or not there is a good fix for the 10.04 nouveau and nvidia driver clash? I'm reinstalling a new 10.04 now since the old one.. i messed up
[03:46] <trippsss> Jordan_U: I suppose you would still be able to boot from those isos in grub2 even if they're located on a partition that is hibernated, so long as that partition is set to ro?
[03:47] <onetinsoldier> daniel__: when it comes to anti-virus, i think it would be interesting to see if you could get 32-bit version installed on a 64-bit system, but i think that in the end, most likely, there's no way to get it installed on a 64-bit system
[03:47] <Jon--> Ubantu_dude: See http://pastebin.org/251538  Trust me, not working :P
[03:47] <Ubantu_dude> Jon--:  I believe you, let me dig into it for a second
[03:47] <ripdisk> I'm trying to switch my Gforce video card for a radeon (using regular radeon driver), but i can't get the geforce driver to stop loading so there is an error every time I boot
[03:47] <th54181> gogeta: are you gone :[
[03:47] <gogeta> th54181: no
[03:47] <Nilos> Need help connecting a wireless adapter on a machine not currently connected to the internet
[03:48] <th54181> gogeta: i have a question, when i install apps, is it going to go into the '/' partition or the '/home' partition
[03:48] <gogeta> th54181: they go to /
[03:48] <Jordan_U> trippsss: Yes, but I'd be carefull. You have to be sure that the live Distro doesn't use the swap partition either.
[03:48] <daniel__> gogeta thanks but it says it is not found ... i followed the instructions...well i have to go now, thank you all for your help
[03:48] <un214>  /
[03:49] <ripdisk> someone please tell me how to stop my old geforce drivers to stop loading
[03:49] <ripdisk> because i'm trying to use a radeon now
[03:49] <onetinsoldier> Jon--: what Ubantu_dude said... find the .deb file for it and download it. then use 'dpkg' command to install the .deb file you downloaded
[03:49] <Jordan_U> trippsss: Some live Distros, like grml, have a "phorensic" boot option that takes care of assuring all that.
[03:49] <daniel__> thanks everyone goodbye
[03:49] <Jordan_U> Reign25: Yes
[03:49] <onetinsoldier> daniel__: take care
[03:49] <gogeta> th54181: you can always resize / later if 10gb isnt enough but it should be
[03:49] <onetinsoldier> daniel__: good luck :-)
[03:49] <Jon--> Ubantu_dude: See http://pastebin.org/251538  Trust me, not working :P
[03:49] <trippsss> Jordan_U: gotcha
[03:50] <Jon--> Ubantu_dude: Sorry, accidently hit up arrow
[03:50] <Jon--> onetinsoldier: where would I find the deb?
[03:50] <th54181> gogeta: thanks, im just worried about messing up my OS crap, ive messed with it one too many times trying to deal with this nvidia/nouveau mess that came with 10.04
[03:50] <onetinsoldier> Jon--: i don't think this matters too much, but what version of ubuntu are you running?
[03:50] <gogeta> th54181: well now if you do anything in home is safe
[03:50] <Jon--> onetinsoldier: 10.04
[03:51] <ripdisk> I'm trying to switch my Gforce video card for a radeon (using regular radeon driver), but i can't get the geforce driver to stop loading so there is an error every time I boot
[03:51] <jnfuller> I'm having a serious problem with getting vlans set up in lucid that worked in the last lts
[03:51] <jnfuller> I'm on an hp dl360 platform using bnx2
[03:52] <onetinsoldier> Jon--: roger.. hang on a moment
[03:52] <jnfuller> It seems like the configs that used to work are hopelessly broken now
[03:52] <Reign25> Jordan_U: I tried to install the headers again, but it still says I can't
[03:52] <kahoot> ripdisk: have you tried blacklisting the driver?
[03:52] <Axident> Will someone please help me installing ubuntu?
[03:52] <jnfuller> Has something drastically changed with the way vlans are configured?
[03:52] <Ubantu_dude> Jon--: looking at your paste bin you seem to have all the repos enabled
[03:52] <edbian> Axident, I would love nothing more than to help you! :)
[03:52] <edbian> Axident, How far have you gotten?
[03:53] <Jon--> Ubantu_dude: I do, and no package for zsnes
[03:53] <Smeh> so.. before i give up on this machine and just buy an entirely new motherboard, anyone care to help me with a 9.10 install issue?
[03:53] <onetinsoldier> Jon--: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/zsnes
[03:53] <Ubantu_dude> Jon--: you are on lucid though but all of my HTPCs and server run karmic so that may be why I have no problems but you do
[03:53] <Smeh> I'm trying to create a softraid array in 9.10 using palimpsest but when i try and create the array is just reports "the daemon is inhibited". The installer partitioner doesn't seem to want to give me the option of creating a softraid so i don't know what to do..
[03:53] <jing> !remaster
[03:53] <Jon--> onetinsoldier: There is no x64 architecture. Is this my issue?
[03:53] <Jordan_U> Reign25: You need to install http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.34-lucid/linux-headers-2.6.34-020634_2.6.34-020634_all.deb first
[03:54] <th54181> Does anybody know if there is a fix to this Nouveau and Nvidia driver issue that came with Lucid/10.04? Any help would be much appreciated!
[03:54] <ripdisk> I'm trying to switch my Gforce video card for a radeon (using regular radeon driver), but i can't get the geforce driver to stop loading so there is an error every time I boot
[03:54] <Ubantu_dude> Jon--: that could be a problem
[03:54] <Axident> edbina: look at this: I tryed to make partitions my self from live, and then start installation from both live desktop and cd. I also tryed to let Ubuntu installation use the complete hdd. Every time with same result at mounting the swap partition. It fail. Maybe I have to mention I have two hdd installed in my pc. Dev0 for windows and dev1 for Ubuntu!
[03:54] <onetinsoldier> Jon--: there's the link for it, but i think maybe you have /etc/apt/sources.list problem. you should be able to just install it with apt-get/aptitude/synaptic command really
[03:54] <Docteh> whats palimpsest?
[03:54] <Reign25> Jordan_U: OH! Ok. Thank you
[03:54] <Jordan_U> Reign25: You're welcome.
[03:54] <Smeh> disk manager?
[03:54] <edbian> Axident, You misspelled my name ;)
[03:54] <Docteh> oic
[03:54] <onetinsoldier> Jon--: could be.. hang on a moment again
[03:54] <Reign25> Jordan_U: I then proceed to install the i386?
[03:54] <Jon--> onetinsoldier: See my last reply. It may be because it only supports x86
[03:54] <kahoot> ripdisk: have you tried blacklisting the driver? or am I misunderstanding your problem?
[03:54] <Jordan_U> Reign25: Yes.
[03:54] <Axident> sorry
[03:54] <Nilos> Can anyone recommend a generic driver that I can use for a wireless network adapter? (Note:The machine with linux is currently not connected to the internet0
[03:55] <Docteh> Smeh: is that in the installer? or after?
[03:55] <Smeh> it's on the temp "livecd" ubuntu the installer runs under i guess
[03:55] <ripdisk> kahoot, i used to have a geforce and i switched my card.. but the geforce driver keeps loading so ubuntu won't load any other drivers
[03:55] <onetinsoldier> Jon--: yep... that's a problem
[03:55] <Docteh> Nilos: theres nothing like ne2000 for wireless cards btw
[03:55] <Jordan_U> Nilos: There are no generic wireless drivers, they're all vendor/chipset specific
[03:55] <edbian> Axident, Try booting with only 1 hdd connected.  Then Try installing with only one of the hdds connected.  Does it get stuck at mounting swap?  Does it give any errors?
[03:55] <Jon--> onetinsoldier: I really really like ZSNES for emulators. Is Wine my only option now?
[03:56] <onetinsoldier> Jon--: i even have the 32-bit libs installed and it won't install in my 64-bit Lucid... no installation candidate found. which means, it's not in the 64-bit repos
[03:56] <Docteh> Smeh: are you creating partitions and marking them for soft raid?
[03:56] <Ubantu_dude> Jon--:  You could roll the dice and compile it
[03:56] <th54181> Does anybody know if there is a fix to this Nouveau and Nvidia driver issue that came with Lucid/10.04? Any help would be much appreciated!
[03:56] <Ubantu_dude> Jon--:  Then again I am almost positive zsnes relies on nasm which may be an issue
[03:57] <Smeh> I have 2 blank disks. they're not partitioned yet, no. that is supposed to happen as part of the install process surely
[03:57] <ripdisk> kahoot, are we on the same page then? what's blacklisting
[03:57] <acerimmer> th54181: according to the full circle magazine podcast, NO
[03:57] <gogeta> onetinsoldier: sudo dpkg --force-architecture  should bypass 32bit checks on installer debs
[03:57] <Jon--> Ubantu_dude: onetinsoldier: Found a .tar.bz from zsnes website. a ./configure had the line "Configure complete, now type 'make' and pray."  Nice touch. I'll give it a try
[03:57] <onetinsoldier> gogeta: sure, looks like that would install it, yes. but will it run? ;-)
[03:57] <gogeta> onetinsoldier: worth a try isnt it
[03:57] <Jon--> Gah!
[03:57] <Docteh> Smeh: I wouldn't trust an operating system installer with anything, they're always braindead ;)
[03:58] <kahoot> ripdisk: blacklisting is simply stopping a driver from starting up on boot.. I'm not sure if it would help or not
[03:58] <Jon--> onetinsoldier: Ubantu_dude: "tools/fileutil.cpp:1: error: CPU you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set"  Damnit.
[03:58] <gogeta> onetinsoldier: with ia21 installed it should
[03:58] <onetinsoldier> gogeta: perhaps it is.. but i doubt it will work. nothing ventured nothing gained though, so worth a shot i suppose
[03:58] <gogeta> ia32
[03:58] <Smeh> Well, I am trying to manually create the softraid via palimpsest, but not having any luck
[03:58] <Smeh> don't know how to do it via the CLI
[03:58] <kahoot> ripdisk: there is a script file somewhere to do it, but I can't remember the directory..
[03:58] <onetinsoldier> Jon--: :-(
[03:58] <ripdisk> oh ok
[03:58] <ripdisk> maybe someone else can help me
[03:58] <Ubantu_dude> Jon--:  You may have to try an alt. like Zsnes or Raine
[03:58] <ripdisk> it seems like it would be simple
[03:58] <laughter> onetinsoldier: i love that song
[03:58] <Ubantu_dude> err snes9x
[03:58] <ripdisk> all i'm doing is changing my video cards
[03:59] <ripdisk> i don't see why ubuntu is doing this
[03:59] <Docteh> Smeh: try manually creating partitions for software raid inside the installer and see if that helps
[03:59] <Jon--> Ubantu_dude: I will try Wine first. I love ZSNES
[03:59] <onetinsoldier> gogeta: see my previous message to Jon--
[03:59] <onetinsoldier> gogeta: i even have the 32-bit libs installed and it won't install in my 64-bit Lucid... no installation candidate found. which means, it's not in the 64-bit repos
[03:59] <Smeh> Docteh : it doesn't give me that option, at all
[03:59] <gogeta> Jon--: then you pc is not 64bit
[03:59] <Jon--> gogeta: It is
[03:59] <ripdisk> I'm trying to switch my Gforce video card for a radeon (using regular radeon driver), but i can't get the geforce driver to stop loading so there is an error every time I boot
[03:59] <Reign25> Jordan_U: Now that I have the headers, did you want me to do anything after that?
[03:59] <ripdisk> and i can't try to run any other drivers
[03:59] <ripdisk> please help, this is annoying
[03:59] <Axident> edbian: Only that it failed by trying to mount a filesystem with the type swap and tha i can continue from the partitions menu.
[03:59] <gogeta> Jon--: then you have to manuly download the deb and run sudo dpkg --force-architecture -
[03:59] <Ubantu_dude> Jon--:  Any real reason you are stuck on zsnes?
[04:00] <Smeh> in the partitioner i can make the 2 disks ext4/3/2 reiserFS etc, no mention of softraid and it whinges if i don't select a root location on either sda1 or sdb1
[04:00] <Jordan_U> Reign25: Do you have the linux-image package installed?
[04:00] <Jon--> Ubantu_dude: Used to hotkeys/interface and it plays ROMs much more stable than other ones Ihave tried
[04:00] <Reign25> Jordan_U: Yes.
[04:00] <Docteh> Smeh: is that text mode or graphical
[04:00] <Ubantu_dude> Jon--:  Ok just curious
[04:01] <Smeh> graphical
[04:01] <gogeta> Jon--: if thers no 64 bit package
[04:01] <Jordan_U> Reign25: Reboot, if devices still aren't being detected please run "ubuntu-bug" to file a bug report.
[04:01] <Reign25> ok thank you
[04:02] <Jordan_U> Reign25: You're welcome.
[04:02] <edbian> Axident, Did you try to boot without that second drive connected?  Is it formatted as swap?
[04:02] <kahoot> ripdisk: This is all I could find, maybe it's a start anyway. the blacklist directory is in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[04:03] <Reign25> Jordan_U: Something just popped up when I booted up this time. It was different. It said something about "sdb write through"
[04:03] <gogeta> onetinsoldier: you can try the same command with apt-get i guess and it should download
[04:04] <Axident> edbian: my first hdd has only windows and the second hdd must have the complete Linux system
[04:05] <gogeta> Axident: so whats the problem
[04:05] <Izinucs> does ephinay (sp?) show contacts that are online?
[04:05] <edbian> gogeta, It hangs on "mounting swap"
[04:06] <kahoot> I have a question.. Sometimes when a game/program starts it starts at a lower resolution than ubuntu supports and I get a "screen resolution out of range" from my moniter. What can I do to restrict the resolution or somehow fix the problem?
[04:06] <edbian> Axident, Is the swap partition formatted as swap?
[04:06] <gogeta> edbian: i say delete swap and make a new one maybe it got cruppted
[04:06] <edbian> gogeta, Axident Worth a shot.
[04:06] <gogeta> edbian: rember the filesystem type must be swap
[04:06] <gogeta> edbian: no mount point
[04:07] <edbian> gogeta, Tell Axident It's his problem
[04:07] <Jordan_U> kahoot: Often games will have a command line option to set the resolution.
[04:07] <Axident> Gogeta its not the problem
[04:07] <gogeta> Axident: or just reformat swap
[04:08] <gogeta> Axident: sounds cruppted to me
[04:08] <Jordan_U> kahoot: If you can't do that, you can run another X server within a window with xephyr (so if an app running in xephyr tries to set the resolution, it will only change the size of the window)
[04:08] <gogeta> Axident: reformating it the gparted will clear any data on it
[04:09] <Nilos> Can anyone recommend a generic driver that I can use for a wireless network adapter? (Note:The machine with linux is currently not connected to the internet)
[04:09] <kahoot> Jordan_U Thanks, I'll look into it. One last thing, if I do mess my resolution up, is there a way to change it back without rebooting?
[04:09] <Axident> Gogeta: you suggestions have I all ready tryed. The problem is also there if I let Ubuntu make by itself!
[04:10] <kahoot> Jordan_U: Xrandr doesn't work from ctrl-alt-f1 terminal since the X session isn't started from there.
[04:10] <edbian> Nilos, Depends very much on the card.  What does lspci say about your card?
[04:10] <gogeta> Axident: if you dont have a swap partation it makes a tempary one in ram
[04:11] <edbian> gogeta, He does have one.  It isn't being mounted correctly for some reason
[04:11] <gogeta> Axident: us with netbooks and ssds avoide swaping to mutch on the drive and dont use it
[04:11] <Reign25> Jordon_U: Any idea why my floppy is still showing up even though I don't have one.
[04:11] <Jordan_U> kahoot: "export DISPLAY=:0.0" Then you'll be able to use xrandr
[04:12] <ripdisk> I'm trying to switch my Gforce video card for a radeon (using regular radeon driver), but i can't get the geforce driver to stop loading so there is an error every time I boot
[04:12] <gogeta> edbian: he can use the live cd acd acess his drive and fstab and see whats up
[04:12] <kahoot> Jordan_U: where would I use that with?
[04:12] <edbian> gogeta, Axident, Yes do that
[04:12] <Jordan_U> Reign25: No, are removable devices showing up with the new kernel?
[04:12] <Reign25> Jordon_U: No.
[04:13] <Jordan_U> kahoot: Run that in the terminal when you ctrl+alt+F1. Applications know what display to talk to by looking at the DISPLAY environment variable
[04:13] <gartral> something is causing a wierd bug in ubuntu... i dont know if it's metacity, or x, but after staring at a window for a while, the focus flashes.. given/taken/given/taken over and over, and i have to close wine apps, ove all the windows, and cycly though alt-shifter to stop the madness of flashing windows
[04:14] <gartral> cycle*
[04:14] <Jordan_U> Reign25: Could you run "ubuntu-bug" to file a bug report?
[04:15] <Axident> gogeta: I know all this. the problem is not what you are writing about. And i would like to have a default installation with swap. Is it possible to get som help for a default installation
[04:15] <kahoot> Jordan_U: Thanks!
[04:15] <gogeta> Axident: as i said you can start the live cd mount your drive and lok at your fstab and see where the error is and correct it
[04:16] <gogeta> Axident: to fix swap
[04:16] <Jordan_U> kahoot: You're welcome. BTW, DISPLAY is also how you will tell apps to run within xephyr if you choose to do that.
[04:16] <Nilos> edbian:my device is a wireless usb adapter
[04:17] <edbian> Nilos, Does it show up in lsusb?
[04:17] <Nilos> edbian, yes the device does
[04:17] <gartral> where do i go to report bugs in launchpad?
[04:17] <edbian> Nilos, But not lspci??
[04:17] <Reign25> Jordon_U: Yup. Doing it now.
[04:18] <dukefan02011> help please
[04:18] <kahoot> Jordan_U: this is a very generic question I know, but how do you figure out some of this stuff? just time and playing around with the command line?
[04:18] <Reign25> Jordon_U: Should I file the report for external or internal storage devices?
[04:18] <Axident> gogeta I dont know anythin about fstab, sorry. And i absolutly not know how to fix anything. But I know that this pc had Ubuntu installed for a few hours ago.
[04:18] <Nilos> edbian, no only stuff like my built-in ethernet and audio show up
[04:19] <ravibn> Hi! What would you advice to install on Dell Latitude e6510 ? a server edition or desktop ?
[04:19] <Nilos> rav depends on what you plan to use it for
[04:19] <gogeta> Axident: if it worked a few hrs ago and stoped should like my first guess was right
[04:19] <dukefan02011> I have a macbook running snow leopard OSX and I want to dual boot it with ubuntu linux 10.4, I am a complete newbie
[04:19] <gogeta> Axident: swap got cruppted
[04:20] <dukefan02011> please help me
[04:20] <Reign25> Jordon_U: It says I need to specify a package.
[04:20] <gogeta> Axident: i guess if you dont wanna try and fixx it you can always reinstall
[04:20] <tripps> Jordan_U, nope that didn't work (updating defoptions, upgrading grub and rebooting)
[04:20] <Jon--> I have no sound in Ubuntu. The visual display is a white unfilled speaker icon with three dashses.. Sound settings seem to be the same. Help?
[04:20] <ravibn> Nilos : There are lot of new HW improvements
[04:20] <ravibn> Nilos: on this notebook
[04:21] <dukefan02011> any suggestions?
[04:21] <Jordan_U> tripps: Does /proc/cmdline show the kernel parameter?
[04:21] <dukefan02011> please?
[04:22] <alanm_7805> I made the switch from 8.10 to 10.04, restored /usr/local/bin from backup successfully, all old scripts run great, no new scripts run, permissions and owners are correct, ?
[04:22] <tripps> Jordan_U, yup. Even went into grub menu and hit e to confirm
[04:22] <edbian> dukefan02011, Get the ubuntu CD! !ubuntu
[04:22] <ravibn> Nilos : will a desktop version would be good fit to do power mgmt ? use Vpro ? advanced HW features for intel 57qm chipset
[04:22] <Axident> It didnt stop. Please ask insted of guessing. This dosnt help if you dont know what i did! edbian did see what i did and where the problem were coming!
[04:22] <RoDiMuS-X> dukefan02011: sorry I do not have a mac so i can not help
[04:22] <Jordan_U> kahoot: Odd, do you have an xorg.conf?
[04:22] <vivek> can anyone tell me who do i fix line numbers in vim editor
[04:22] <edbian> Axident, Did you boot a live CD?
[04:22] <dukefan02011> edbian, this is my only cpu and I want to dual boot it without messing it up,
[04:23] <Nilos> rav, im prettty certain you can do power management on a desktop install
[04:23] <edbian> dukefan02011, Great: step 1 get an ubuntu cd and boot from it.
[04:23] <dukefan02011> I know almost nothing about linux
[04:23] <tripps> Jordan_U, you sure I don't need an xorg.conf?
[04:23] <charless40> hola
[04:23] <Jon--> I have no sound in Ubuntu. The visual display is a white unfilled speaker icon with three dashses.. Sound settings seem to be the same. Help?  (I JUST had it working a few seconds ago. A Wine application crashed, so I had to use CTRL + ALT + F1   sudo service gdm restart  did this cause this?)
[04:23] <kahoot> Jordan_U: I think you messaged the wrong person?
[04:23] <dukefan02011> is there any way to do it sithout the cd?
[04:23] <dukefan02011> without*
[04:23] <charless40> si
[04:24] <ravibn> Nilos : how abt the advanced features of this Intel 57QM chipset ? and utilitzing core i7 cores?
[04:24] <charless40> yo soy charless40
[04:24] <fatum> Does anyone know about getting sound input to work on the VIA 1708S card?
[04:24] <edbian> dukefan02011, We don't do tutorials from start to finish.  We more or less answer questions in a robust way.  http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
[04:24] <Axident> edbian I booted at live and maked partitions from gparted
[04:24] <RoDiMuS-X> dukefan02011: I know when I installed ubuntu on my windows machine it allowed me to adjust the partitions with out messing it up
[04:24] <IdleOne> Jon--: the speaker with 3 dashes means the sound is muted
[04:24] <Nilos> edbian, I have tried to run the install in WINE and tried LINUXANT, and still NOTHING
[04:24] <RoDiMuS-X> dukefan02011: i used a USB flash drive to install mine
[04:24] <edbian> dukefan02011, yes but it is harder.  You can use unetbootin
[04:24] <charless40> quien es eliezer
[04:24] <linknop> hola
[04:24] <Punker> I there.  I installed apached from source (make install) with the latest release on a Ubuntu distro.  I would like to remove it.  What would be the best way so nothing remains ?
[04:24] <linknop> hola

[04:24] <IdleOne> !es | charless40 linknop
[04:24] <edbian> Axident, Can you boot to the live CD and pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" for me?
[04:25] <charless40> het
[04:25] <charless40> hey
[04:25] <edbian> Nilos, Sorry the install for what?  I can't remember 3 people's problems at once.
[04:25] <Jon--> IdleOne: No, it shouldn't be. I have a mute button on my laptop, if I press it, it shows the MUTE (red x over speaker) in the top right (ubuntu picks it up). This is not on. Under sound preferences, mute is NOT ticked.
[04:25] <vivek>  can anyone tell me who do i fix line numbers in vim editor
[04:25] <dukefan02011> there is no way to just download something that will partition my drive for me?
[04:25] <Kardos> fix line numbers>
[04:25] <Nilos> edbian, i need a driver for a usb wireless network adapter.
[04:25] <tripps> Jordan_U, wondering if it's worth it to check out the PPA
[04:25] <Kardos> what does that mean :x
[04:25] <onetinsoldier> Punker: go into the source directory, and run --> make uninstall
[04:25] <RoDiMuS-X> dukefan0211: the CD will partition the drive for you
[04:26] <Nilos> edbian:been having compatibility issues.Its one of the newer belkin models
[04:26] <charless40> hola
[04:26] <Punker> i tried this, and there is no uninstall file in this dir.  Also gives me a target error :"make: *** No rule to make target `uninstall'. Stop."
[04:26] <Axident> edbian one moment please
[04:26] <Firefishe> onetinsoldier:  heya, long time no see
[04:26] <charless40> nadie habla espanol
[04:26] <edbian> Nilos, I don't think I can help. All I can say is that the drivers on the CD are for windows and will be useless for windows and that it doesn't look good because the system doesn't recognize it as a wifi device.
[04:26] <onetinsoldier> Firefishe: howdy~! roger... long time
[04:26] <Jordan_U> Punker: If you did a make clean you may need to run ./configure again.
[04:27] <dhila> why I can't use synaptic package manager? E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
[04:27] <dhila> E: Unable to lock the list directory
[04:27] <dukefan02011> I don't have a cd handy...
[04:27] <dhila> help me please, I'm new in Ubuntu
[04:27] <edbian> dukefan02011, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#Installation%20without%20a%20CD   other ways to install ubuntu (I'm just using google here)
[04:27] <charless40> hola
[04:27] <Firefishe> onetinsoldier:  I'm downloading 10.04 64 bit.  Anything exceptionally different from Karmic?
[04:27] <RoDiMuS-X> dukefan02011: it is possible to install without the CD
[04:27] <onetinsoldier> Punker: well, you might have another choice possibly. but i am disappointed to see they didn't include and uninstall in their source
[04:28] <edbian> dukefan02011, I don't know why you'd want to install another way though.  It's more difficult
[04:28] <elric> hey,m getting crackling sound on wine...
[04:28] <elric> any idea to fix it?
[04:28] <dhila> anybody can help me???
[04:28] <IdleOne> dhila: do you also have Software center open?
[04:28] <v4> register vin4<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[04:28] <Punker> onetin: what would that other possibility be ?
[04:28] <dukefan02011> on a mac though?
[04:28] <onetinsoldier> Firefishe: i didn't run Karmic... been gone a long time. don't know
[04:28] <IdleOne> v4: use the server tab for that
[04:28] <RoDiMuS-X> dhila: you may have more than one instance of the package manager running
[04:29] <onetinsoldier> Punker: you can install 'checkinstall' --> sudo apt-get install chaeckinstall
[04:29] <onetinsoldier> Punker: you can install 'checkinstall' --> sudo apt-get install checkinstall
[04:29] <dhila> Idle0ne: No I've closed all package manager programs...
[04:29] <Firefishe> onetinsoldier:  Ah, I see.
[04:29] <perlsyntax> How can i just update to  to 10.04 repo's?
[04:29] <edbian> dhila, Make double sure using "ps -e | grep apt"
[04:29] <IdleOne> dhila: sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/lock then try Synaptic package manager again
[04:29] <perlsyntax> from 9.10 with out update it
[04:29] <perlsyntax> ?
[04:30] <gogeta> perlsyntax: bad idea
[04:30] <Punker> onetin: ok, got it
[04:30] <gogeta> perlsyntax: good way to brake the system
[04:30] <v4> how to register a nickname
[04:30] <perlsyntax> i can't get 10.04 to work on the laptop.
[04:30] <Punker> and where should i go from there ?
[04:30] <IdleOne> !register > v4
[04:30] <gogeta> perlsyntax: why not
[04:30] <edbian> perlsyntax, What's it doing that's getting you stuck?
[04:30] <onetinsoldier> Punker: ok, now, in the source directory, as root(sudo) run --> checkinstall
[04:30] <uRock> perlsyntax, what programs do you need the new versions of?
[04:30] <dukefan02011> will the cd automatically dual boot my mac?
[04:31] <edbian> dukefan02011, No
[04:31] <perlsyntax> it load the live cd and then i get a blacksceen after it loads
[04:31] <onetinsoldier> Punker: it should make a .deb package and install it
[04:31] <edbian> dukefan02011, The CD will give you the option to install or to
[04:31] <perlsyntax> i have no prob on the 9.10
[04:31] <v4> how to register a nick
[04:31] <edbian> dukefan02011, "try ubuntu" which will run the OS from the CD without any changes to your computer at all.
[04:31] <astrobill> I have a dell deminsion 2400 and Dell says that the onboard intel graphics CANNOT be disabled.  Is there anyway to make Ubuntu ignore it's presense since I'm using a geforce 8400 adapter?
[04:31] <gogeta> perlsyntax: probly the new nevu drivers
[04:31] <uRock> perlsyntax, what programs do you need the new versions of?
[04:31] <IdleOne> v4: /join #freenode and they can help you
[04:31] <dhila> Idle0ne: No such file or directory
[04:31] <elric> Anybody know how to fix the crackling sound in wine?
[04:31] <perlsyntax> what you mean
[04:31] <edbian> astrobill, It should automatically if you install the card connect the monitor to it and reboot
[04:31] <onetinsoldier> Punker: then, you can just use 'dpkg' to uninstall it... dpkg --purge <package_name>
[04:32] <perlsyntax> perl 5.10.1 and gcc and python 2.6.5
[04:32] <astrobill> edbian: I cannot enable desktop effects
[04:32] <Punker> onetin: its doing its thing.  Where will the .deb file be ? same dir ?
[04:32] <IdleOne> dhila: ok so Synaptic is closed now correct?
[04:32] <edbian> astrobill, Usually just connecting the card changes things at the motherboard level
[04:32] <perlsyntax> uRock
[04:32] <dukefan02011> when you install it will it partition you drive so you can go on to Snow Leopard or ubuntu whenever you want?
[04:32] <onetinsoldier> Punker: you won't need the .deb file, unless you're just wanting to save it
[04:32] <uRock> can't they be installed via a PPA?
[04:32] <edbian> astrobill, With which device?  The mobo graphics or the card?
[04:32] <dhila> Idle0ne: Yes
[04:32] <onetinsoldier> Punker: but it makes it right there in the directory you're working in
[04:32] <IdleOne> dhila: ok open Synaptic again and try
[04:32] <edbian> dukefan02011, Yes  between a reboot of course
[04:33] <perlsyntax> i don't know where i can get the new gcc anf perl 5.10.1 and python 2.6.5
[04:33] <edbian> dukefan02011, But you can boot from the CD without affecting your computer at all.  It's very cool.  That's why the call it a live CD.
[04:33] <onetinsoldier> Firefishe: so you're running Karmic right now?
[04:33] <RoDiMuS-X> has anyone else noticed the wireless flashes off and on?
[04:33] <perlsyntax> urock  you there?
[04:33] <dukefan02011> I don't want to run a cd whenever I want to access linux though...
[04:33] <edbian> astrobill, Take a loog at this!  http://forlong.blogage.de/entries/pages/Compiz-Check
[04:33] <v4> idleone.. i am in freenode
[04:33] <astrobill> edbian: I'm using the nvidia driver for the geforce 8400 card.  I cannot enable desktop effects.  When I type Compiz in terminal, it idetifies the intel graphics chip as a blacklisted graphics adapter
[04:34] <uRock> perlsyntax, I am not sure either, but the only way to get them if Lucid doesn work is by compiling from source
[04:34] <dhila> Idle0ne: Ok it works now, thank you very much 4 helping me...
[04:34] <gogeta> dukefan02011: then you install it
[04:34] <dhila> Idle0ne: :-)
[04:34] <onetinsoldier> Firefishe: you using gnome or kde? let me guess.. kde! :-)
[04:34] <perlsyntax> i give up
[04:34] <RoDiMuS-X> dukefan0211: it gives you the option to setup a dual boot when adjusting partitions for windows not sure about mac
[04:34] <gogeta> dukefan02011: you can dule boot a amc
[04:34] <edbian> astrobill, Is the monitor connected to the card and not the mobo?
[04:34] <gogeta> mac
[04:34] <astrobill> edbian: yes
[04:34] <edbian> dukefan02011, Get the CD and try it out! :)
[04:34] <IdleOne> v4 you are ON Freenode yes. Now type /join #freenode
[04:34] <v4> Idleone: i am in freenode
[04:34] <edbian> astrobill, Did you look at the link I sent?
[04:35] <astrobill> edbian: I'm looking now
[04:35] <edbian> v4, freenode server !=  freenode channel
[04:35] <gogeta> dukefan02011: the live cd works as a tril of ubuntu and a installer
[04:35] <dukefan02011> you just download ubuntu 10.4 and burn it to a cd and then run it when booting the cpu up?
[04:35] <edbian> astrobill, It is very helpful in getting compiz to work
[04:35] <edbian> dukefan02011, You're going to love linux :)
[04:35] <gogeta> dukefan02011: yep
[04:35] <Punker> onetin:  it said some folder couldnt be removed because they are not empty, then it lists 5 folders.  if i deleted them manually, it should all be gone ?
[04:35] <crankharder> how can forcibly resinatll a package (including configuration files, etc, etc -- *everything*)
[04:35] <RoDiMuS-X> dukefan02011: you got it
[04:35] <onetinsoldier> Punker: yes, correct
[04:35] <edbian> dukefan02011, Yeah pretty much.  Sometimes you have to hold a button down on an older mac but I don't think that's true anymore.
[04:35] <the3dman> Anyone know how to remove a new menu folder that I have created in the menu editor (karmic)?
[04:36] <onetinsoldier> Punker: just check what's in those dirs first just in case
[04:36] <edbian> dukefan02011, You need an ISO burner though cause it's an ISO file that you download
[04:36] <Punker> thanks a lot :)  You were extremely helpful
[04:36] <edbian> dukefan02011, Make sense?
[04:36] <edbian> dukefan02011, The site has pretty good instructions
[04:36] <dukefan02011> I have linux on my crappy windows xp desktop and I do love it
[04:36] <onetinsoldier> Punker: cool. you're welcome :-)
[04:36] <illuminaris> I'm trying to figure out why my button-pressed sound file won't load properly all of the time. I am customizing my desktop sound theme and I added a new button-pressed sound. All the other sounds I've added have basically worked without a problem. But for some reason button-pressed only works about 1/50th of the time, the rest of the time it's playing the default bump sound.
[04:36] <onetinsoldier> Punker: enjoy
[04:36] <dukefan02011> and yes it makes complete sense, thanks you guys
[04:36] <gogeta> crankharder: slect compleatly remove from syanptic or use -purge with apt-get
[04:36] <Nilos> edbian:it shows the USb "slots" in lspci, but it only identifies the device in lsusb
[04:36] <edbian> dukefan02011, :)
[04:36] <dhila> thank you everybody...
[04:36] <gogeta> crankharder: that removes configs
[04:37] <PhishPharmer> onetinsoldier's armor just got thicker, lol
[04:37] <edbian> Nilos, Does it show up in "sudo ifconfig -a"
[04:37] <onetinsoldier> PhishPharmer: lol.. maybe
[04:37] <RedXIII|Laptop> I have this mp4 video file that I recovered off a dying drive using ddrescue. Its heavily fragmented and I'm sure has SOME video data in it
[04:37] <RedXIII|Laptop> however VLC / Titan won't recognize it
[04:37] <RedXIII|Laptop> Is there software that I can use to recover small fragments of the file?
[04:38] <onetinsoldier> Virtualdub maybe.. don't know
[04:38] <gogeta> RedXIII|Laptop: genreluy with linux no
[04:38] <edbian> RedXIII|Laptop, handbrake will probably do it.  Don't ask me how to use it.  I have no idea
[04:38] <the3dman> Maybe some of the video editing programs.
[04:39] <v4> Idleone: can you send link once more
[04:39] <RedXIII|Laptop> something is not possible with linux? ohboy..
[04:39] <Nilos> edbian:one says "ethernet" and the other says "local loopback"
[04:39] <gogeta> edbian: linux when something gets deleted it get zeroed
[04:39] <RedXIII|Laptop> I'll search up handbrake
[04:39] <IdleOne> !register | v4
[04:39] <gogeta> edbian: unlike windows
[04:39] <edbian> Nilos, Then it isn't there.  I would be googling at this point.  I have no idea how to help you :(
[04:40] <Nilos> edbian, I found some older drivers, think they will work
[04:40] <edbian> Nilos, Only if they're linux drivers
[04:40] <Nilos> they are
[04:40] <edbian> Nilos, give it a shot! :
[04:40] <onetinsoldier> RedXIII|Laptop: if you go here and add this repo, handbrake is in the repo and you can install it with apt-get/aptitude/synaptic
[04:40] <crankharder> gogeta: ty
[04:40] <onetinsoldier> RedXIII|Laptop: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas

[04:48] <dm_> edbian Well, you see, i've tried that, and it doesnt work.
[04:48] <the3dman> Anyone know how to remove a created folder in the menu editor, I can remove apps it seems but not the folders they are in. (Karmic)
[04:48] <Omen_20> Is there anywhere to get panflute plugins. Im looking for an mplayer plugin.
[04:48] <edbian> dm_, Really?  Are you sure?

[04:49] <onetinsoldier> RedXIII|Laptop: hello again. i gave you link to wrong place earlier
[04:49] <shazzam6999> if you're using alsa you can run alsamixer in the cli and turn the beep off, then as root run alsactl store
[04:50] <RedXIII|Laptop> o.o well I already installed handbrake
[04:50] <RedXIII|Laptop> tried piping the mp4 file in, it scanned and said no titles on it
[04:50] <RedXIII|Laptop> I imagine that means its a lost cause
[04:50] <Firefishe> onetinsoldier:  Ah, the joy of 'net drop
[04:50] <onetinsoldier> RedXIII|Laptop: roger, good deal :-)
[04:50] <Firefishe> onetinsoldier:  And yes, I *am* using kde ;) hee
[04:50] <RedXIII|Laptop> sucky ;(. thanks though
[04:50] <onetinsoldier> Firefishe: ahh, i was wondering why you weren't responding
[04:50] <Firefishe> onetinsoldier:  local restaurant connection...likes to hiccup now and again

[04:51] <edbian> dm_, I have no clue!  ha ha.  Best of luck to you
[04:51] <edbian> dm_, Be sure to tell me if you figure it out
[04:52] <shazzam6999> dm_: are you using alsa?
[04:52] <dm_> Pulse
[04:52] <shazzam6999> dm_: ah, never used pulse sorry
[04:52] <Nilos> edbian:whats the ubuntu equivalebnt of device manager?
[04:52] <dm_> shazzam6999: if i was using also id just turn it off with alsamixer
[04:52] <edbian> Nilos, The command line and the knowledge that can only come with experience
[04:52] <Nilos> k
[04:52] <edbian> Nilos, :)
[04:52] <dm_> but alas... things keep breaking more and more every release
[04:53] <palmeiras> hi people

[04:53] <dm_> edbian: I might. I was on fedora for a while, but... yeah, that community is worse than any other
[04:53] <palmeiras> brasil
[04:53] <IdleOne> !br | palmeiras
[04:53] <edbian> dm_, Really?  What do you mean?   They defined it
[04:54] <edbian> dm_, Ouch
[04:54] <edbian> dm_, I wish I knew enough to be elitist!
[04:54] <shazzam6999> dm_: hah that was the first distro I tried and I felt the same way
[04:54] <gartral> something is causing a wierd bug in ubuntu... i dont know if it's metacity, or x, but after staring at a window for a while, the focus flashes.. given/taken/given/taken over and over, and i have to close wine apps, over all the windows, and cycle though alt-shifter to stop the madness of flashing windows
[04:54] <IdleOne> edbian: you know enough not to be :)
[04:54] <dm_> edbian: I wanted a simple copy paste from a config, and they wanted me to read a 35 page man page about it
[04:54] <edbian> IdleOne, Thanks :)
[04:55] <edbian> dm_, Ha ha
[04:55] <Firefishe> onetinsoldier:  So what've you been up to?
[04:56] <bluefoxx> Ok, here's my deal. On my desktop, which yes, runs windows(and no I'm not interested in switching), I have become very strapped for diskspace. That being the case, I had 20 gigs of unpartitioned space on my D drive, which held some very important project files along with the entirety of %program files%. I decided I would do what I've done a dozen times prior without issue, and resize it from a liveCD
[04:56] <dm_> this "LTS" release has borked my vid drivers ( had to do a huge hack just to get 3d working) my fan is now always on. My edge scrolling is still broken (since alpha and 4 month old bug). They seem to be caring much more about how it looks than it functions
[04:56] <bluefoxx> So I began this process, and in the middle of the actual move, ubuntu decided to crash on me. Hard.
[04:56] <Firefishe> dm_:  I'm sticking with Karmic until further notice.  My system is nice and stable ;) hee
[04:56] <bluefoxx> Won't respond to CAB, won't respond to raising elephants. It's dead in the water, which has turned to black ice.
[04:57] <dm_> Firefishe dont get me started on karmic.
[04:57] <dm_> that was a joke of a release
[04:57] <onetinsoldier> Firefishe: working.. taking care of my rental houses. but this is offtopic. we should really talk in ubuntu-offtopic or via pm
[04:57] <IdleOne> bluefoxx: alt-sysrq-k
[04:57] <Firefishe> onetinsoldier:  ah, you're right of course.  Soryr.
[04:57] <bluefoxx> What tools are avaible to me to boot off of USB and recover the partition?
[04:57] <Firefishe> sorry
[04:57] <bluefoxx> IdleOne, Done that
[04:57] <bluefoxx> Nothing.
[04:57] <krishnandu> Hey friends, Is there any good cd/dvd burner?? Brasero doesn't seems to be good. It doesn't allows me to burn mp3 disc n etc. Googling around gave me result k3b. But it's for KDE. Can I install it in GNOME?? Or anything better you'd like to suggest??
[04:57] <bluefoxx> When I say it's dead in the water I mean it's dead in the water and locked in ice
[04:57] <likemindead> Anyone flashed their BIOS in Ubuntu before? :-\
[04:58] <IdleOne> bluefoxx: same as on the live cd. see !usb
[04:58] <shazzam6999> krishnandu: yeah you can install k3b on gnome and its my favorite... although I don't burn mp3s
[04:58] <linknop> join #backtrack-italia
[04:58] <edbian> bluefoxx, Did it finish the partition?
[04:58] <bluefoxx> edbian, Not even close
 Ok. Thanx. But Brasero is not that good
[04:58] <k3rn> hi
[04:58] <bluefoxx> Was maybe 5Gb in out of 270
[04:58] <edbian> bluefoxx, Well I don't see what option you have then to hard reboot
[04:58] <dm_> likemindead: unless your manufact/OEM has ez flash bios, or something similiar, they have to have a linux specific bios flash utility, otherwise you could bork your computer
[04:58] <IdleOne> krishnandu: you can also try gnomebaker
[04:58] <bluefoxx> YEs
[04:58] <bluefoxx> I plan to
[04:59] <bluefoxx> But after that
[04:59] <edbian> bluefoxx, The live cd again
[04:59] <shazzam6999> krishnandu: Well I always use k3b and I've never had any issues
 Ok. Lemme check it out :)
[04:59] <edbian> bluefoxx, Maybe a different physical disk in light of the recent crash
[04:59] <bluefoxx> I certainly can't boot windows without my %program files%, nor my pagefile
 Ya seems that k3b is best. Atleast google says that :P
[04:59] <cwillu_at_work> any tricks to getting a grub prompt when you've got one of the many machines which grub won't prompt when you hold shift down?
[04:59] <bluefoxx> edbian, Don't have any other disks.
[04:59] <bluefoxx> Everything is full. Filled.
[05:00] <dm_> I like brasero over k3b personally
[05:00] <shazzam6999> krishnandu: its easy enough to try it out anyways and see if it does what you need it to
[05:00] <dm_> But im partial to GTK
[05:00] <bluefoxx> I'm supposed to be getting a few 1500Gb drives in the coming month
[05:00] <krishnandu> Thanks guys. I'd like to try out k3b.
[05:00] <shazzam6999> brasero wasn't doing everything he needed it to
[05:00] <likemindead> Bummer.
[05:00] <shazzam6999> krishnandu: gl =)
 Ya seems that it fulfills my requirements, atleast from the screenshots
[05:00] <dm_> shazzam6999: what did he need? I must of missed/lagged
[05:00] <k3rn> how can I change the value of a variable in a shell script? I have a variable bla="path/to/bla" - I want to change it to "path\/to\/bla" to be able to use it in sed...
[05:01] <bluefoxx> Are there not any distros I can make bootble from a USB stick(no burner in laptop) that are made for data recovery crap?
[05:01] <krishnandu> So guys I need another suggestion....Anything like Nero Vision??
[05:01] <edbian> k3rn, $blah="somethingNew"
[05:01] <bluefoxx> Noone?
[05:01] <edbian> bluefoxx, grml  ???  I can't remember exactly
[05:01] <edbian> bluefoxx, Google it!
[05:02] <k3rn> edbian: i want to replaace any "/" with a "\/" ...
[05:02] <gartral> bluefoxx: trinity rescue kit
[05:02] <dm_> Anyone here with twinview working? got a Q
[05:02] <bluefoxx> edbian, gartral, Can those rescue a half-moved partition?
[05:03] <edbian> bluefoxx, Good questions
[05:03] <bluefoxx> That's what I need to do
[05:03] <bluefoxx> I had some tools before hand, but those were installed /on/ the machine in question
[05:03]  * bluefoxx blarfs
[05:04] <krishnandu> Hey guys can u suggest me any alternative for Nero Vision in Ubuntu??
[05:04] <gartral> bluefoxx: if you work hard enough maybe... i dont know how to. try synaptic disk doctor?
[05:04] <krishnandu> I want to make Video DVD using the normal video files(avi, wmv etc)
[05:04] <krishnandu> mpeg etc.
[05:04] <bluefoxx> gartral, No google hits, sauce?
[05:04] <bluefoxx> Err, link?
[05:05] <wildbat> k3rn, just change it in editor??
[05:05] <k3rn> wildbat: its a variable in a shell script
[05:06] <gartral> bluefoxx: im 100% sure i screwed the name up, it's synaptic disk somthing.. i havent used it in years, and the liscence aint cheap (not saying its not possible to get it "otherwise" but it;s an $80 disk with a $1000 corporate key)
[05:06] <g00dwill1> Has anyone had success with rotating one of two displays CCW while in twinview using an invidia card ?
[05:06] <wildbat> k3rn, and most editor like gedit have search and replace.
[05:06] <gartral> bluefoxx: but i know it will at least get your data back
[05:07] <k3rn> wildbat: i want to have i dynamical
[05:07] <onetinsoldier> krishnandu: you might want to look at ffmpeg/winff maybe
[05:07] <gartral> g00dwill1: whats an "invidia" card?
[05:07] <bluefoxx> I've crawled the corners of the net for less likely things(Come to think of it, I've likely lost my Solaris/2.6 source code now too)
 Thanks. Lemme check it out
[05:07] <g00dwill1> gartral: 6600 GT
[05:07] <gartral> g00dwill1: OHHH! "NVIDIA"
[05:08] <vivek> i wanna install latest firefox  could anyone tell me how do i do that ?
[05:08] <wildbat> k3rn, you mean that ? sed 's/\//\\\//g'
[05:08] <merculiv> there  reason why my mobile broadband connections notshowing up after a system update?
[05:08] <gartral> vivek: apt-get install landmine
[05:08] <gartral> vivek: apt-get install minefield (sorry)
[05:08] <stewart> hi! since upgrading to lucid, the app i'm building just segfaults... before getting to main() seemingly just having linked against libc. anyone able to help?
 No. I want DVD Making software.  I've already found it from google
[05:12] <krishnandu> :)
[05:12] <vivek> apt-get install minefield also not working
[05:12] <g00dwill1> gartral: it was a typo not chinese.
[05:12] <k3rn> wildbat: yea okay - not really nice but this may work =)
[05:13] <onetinsoldier> krishnandu: cool :-)
[05:13] <paris> Anybody knows MySQL?
[05:13] <krishnandu> paris: yup
[05:13] <gartral> g00dwill1: anyway.. whats the problem?
 Yup
 Whats the problem??
[05:14] <paris> krishnandu, How can I connect database with MySQL?
[05:14] <g00dwill1> gartral: Ha, just trying to get rotation of one display using twinview. I don't believe this is possible. It appears I may need to run seperate x sessions.
[05:14] <krishnandu> paris, Connect database??
[05:14] <krishnandu> paris, MySQL is itself a database
[05:14] <gartral> g00dwill1: try xrandr?
[05:14] <krishnandu> paris, What do you want to connect??
[05:15] <krishnandu> paris, do you mean conencting mysql from PHP??
[05:16] <Izinucs> g00dwill1: gartral xrandr might do it but you have to remember that there is a virtual desktop size that is equal to the greatest horizontal and verticle resolution..
[05:16] <g00dwill1> gartral: Tried, but I believe seperate x screens have to setup for this to work and Xinerama enabled.
[05:16] <Izinucs> g00dwill1: gartral of the two monitors combined
[05:17] <gartral> g00dwill1: no.. xrandr will interfere with xinerama.. you need ONE or the OTHER, both will break your displays..
[05:17] <paris> krishnandu, I have download some file (all tables) and I would like to connect to MySQL, those file are in Downloads folder.
[05:18] <k3rn> how can i initialise and increment an integer variable (in a bash script)?
[05:18] <krishnandu> paris: ohh got it. Get into phpmyadmin and import the files. Tats all.
[05:18] <theadmin> k3rn: increment as in add something to it?
[05:18] <dm_> Anyone here ever try linux mint?
[05:18] <brontosaurusrex> k3rn: /j #bash, read the topic and visiti some of the urls noted
[05:18] <theadmin> ubottu: mintsupport | dm_
[05:18] <brontosaurusrex> dm_: i'am running it on this machine
[05:19] <dm_> brontosaurusrex: isnt it based on ubuntu?
[05:19] <theadmin> dm_: It is.
[05:19] <gartral> g00dwill1: see man xrandr for an explination of how multiple displays are broken up. and remember that even though your effect is going to be linking the "top" of one display to the left of the second, format the command as if both are matching planes
[05:19] <k3rn> theadmin: ea add 1 would be fine
[05:19] <brontosaurusrex> dm_: yes
[05:19] <dm_> brontosaurusrex: how do you like it?
[05:19] <theadmin> k3rn: x=0 ; let x=x+1
[05:19] <abrookins> Hey, I'm using Lucid Lynx.  When I restart, I get a system beep.  I tried blacklisting pcspkr.  The module isn't loaded, and I still get the beep.  Any suggestions?
[05:19] <brontosaurusrex> dm_: still like it, kinda
[05:20] <gartral> abrookins: nahalem cpu?
[05:20] <g00dwill1> I was following this http://snipr.com/whypf. Added randr and rotate ccw to my Monitor1 section
[05:20] <dm_> abrookins i have the same issue, its unresolved, many bugs filed on it. Another bug that will last months, just rip out the mobo speaker in the mean time :P
[05:20] <dm_> brontosaurusrex: issues?
[05:20] <brontosaurusrex> dm_: some borken repos lately, but i'am running 64 bit version
[05:21] <brontosaurusrex> dm_: no issues basically
[05:21] <abrookins> dm_: It's a laptop, so not as easy to remove that wire, I think.
[05:21] <kofian> hola
[05:21] <astrobill> I have run the compiz-check script on ubuntu 9.04 and it says the intel graphics is blacklisted.  I am not using it, as I'm connected to the geforce 8400 card.  I cannot disable the intel graphics on the motherboard.  At the end of the compiz-check script it ask if I would like to skip the blacklist check, and I said 'yes', but it says 'permission denied' .  Any ideas on how to get around this?
[05:21] <paris> krishnandu, How to do this?
[05:21] <dm_> abrookins: I was being sarcastic :)
[05:21] <abrookins> gartral: Hm, I don't know.
[05:21] <abrookins> dm_: Believe me, I would have ripped it out a while ago if I could. ;)
[05:21] <theadmin> astrobill: Run it with sudo?
[05:21] <gartral> abrookins: well.. tell me what cpu you have
[05:21] <krishnandu> paris: there is an export option
[05:22] <krishnandu> paris: look there
[05:22] <brontosaurusrex> dm_:  i prefer it due to lil things, like 'open this folder in terminal' and such, which are misteriously missing in ubuntu
[05:22] <krishnandu> paris: on your database
[05:22] <paris> krishnandu, How to do this? I am a newbie?
[05:22] <krishnandu> paris: ok get into mysql
[05:22] <dm_> abrookins: Ive tried alot of things, the only thing that has worked is switching to alsa, which is absolutely ludicrous. I just wish they would stop screwing with things so much.
[05:22] <astrobill> theadmin: I tried running the script as root but it says "Do not run this script as root."
[05:22] <brontosaurusrex> dm_: but if i would install now, i would go for lucid
[05:22] <theadmin> astrobill: huh.
[05:22] <theadmin> astrobill: okay wtf.
[05:22] <shazzam6999> dm_: whats wrong with alsa?
[05:22] <abrookins> gartral: Intel Core 2 Duo T6400 2ghz
[05:23] <dm_> brontosaurusrex: You can install that feature in ubuntu with an apt-get you know
[05:23] <kofian> ho la por ke no puedo cambiar de red en mi ubuntu 10.4 como lo hacia en 9,4 y anteriores?
[05:23] <gartral> abrookins: you could tell me what mobo you have, i could see if theres a jumper you could pull too squelch the annoying thing
[05:23] <theadmin> ubottu: es | kofian
[05:23] <brontosaurusrex> dm_: if one is noobie like me, thats a 'feature'
[05:23] <paris> krishnandu, just please wait.
[05:23] <dm_> shazzam6999: Alsa, is a bit archaic in my experience, has problem with "layering" ( not sure what else to call it)
[05:24] <krishnandu> paris: ok np
[05:24] <dm_> brontosaurusrex: I suppose. It's a silly design choice by canonical
[05:24] <shazzam6999> dm_: ah, I don't use Ubuntu but I havnt experienced any trouble with alsa... and I actually like it the most
[05:24] <kofian> #ubuntu-es
[05:24] <dm_> brontosaurusrex:  but so is purple splash screens......
[05:24] <theadmin> kofian: /join #ubuntu-es
[05:24] <jla> hi guys i have a little problem maybe someone can helpme
[05:24] <theadmin> dm_: What's the problem with those? Not very bright at least
[05:24] <theadmin> jla: Problem with what.
[05:25] <jla> with ubuntu one
[05:25] <dm_> btw who's idea was it for all the purple/orange everywhere, seriously.
[05:25] <astrobill> theadmin: do you know what file I could edit to unblacklist that intel graphics?
[05:25] <shazzam6999> looks better than brown
[05:25] <narffeyg> i say light white and neon black
[05:25] <dm_> It went from poop brown, to Barney purple
[05:25] <g00dwill1> gartral: Looks like you're right; the writeup I found on ubuntuforums was completely inaccurate. Thanks.
[05:25] <jla> i cant create and account
[05:25] <theadmin> astrobill: I think you use modprobe, but dunno how
[05:25] <brontosaurusrex> dm_: i like the new look, its kinda original imho
[05:25] <jla> i tryed like 10 times already
[05:25] <theadmin> dm_: Just install a new theme ffs.
[05:26] <dm_> brontosaurusrex: So is wearing a salad bowl on my head, but I dont do it
[05:26] <gartral> dm_: it looked like the bottum of a NY Public toilet up untill now... TRUST me, purple is an improvment
[05:26] <dm_> theadmin because there is a built in config for the splash screen right? not everyone can do it.  Who cares about it if it's there less then a freakin second?
[05:26] <jla> some help please?
[05:27] <paris> krishnandu, I have just install a new version of Linux and I have forgotten how to install MySQL.
[05:27] <theadmin> narffeyg: Something that you shouldn't do? sudo rm -rf /*
[05:27] <Docteh> theadmin: its still ugly :(
[05:27] <brontosaurusrex> dm_: i think they try to be 'cool' as apple
[05:27] <dm_> theadmin: some of us care, just because you dont doesnt mean you can dismiss someone's opinion
[05:27] <narffeyg> in the terminal?
[05:27] <theadmin> narffeyg: Yeah, that is "delete everything" :D
[05:27] <shazzam6999> brontosaurusrex: in terms of marketing thats probably a decent direction to go in
[05:27] <narffeyg> goood to know
[05:27] <krishnandu> paris: ok even i forgot the packages. ask here
[05:27] <gartral> theadmin: some instances of splash screens dont go away after boot.. i remember 6.06 in my nvidia 8400.. the splash wouldnt go away, and i had to literally work around it..
[05:28] <krishnandu> paris: other members will be able to tell you better
[05:28] <brontosaurusrex> shazzam6999: possibly, but i'am not sure if it is the right time to target housewifes at this point really, to early
[05:28] <mfFANteam> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4u5OFRqbFNM
[05:28] <mfFANteam> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4u5OFRqbFNM
[05:28] <FloodBot1> mfFANteam: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:28] <gartral> theadmin: it's also three extra processes that can be striped from the boot sequence
[05:29] <narffeyg> other wise i use the terminal to fix the youtube problem that i was having but i want to learn more about it
[05:29] <jla> hey guys i have a little problem with ubuntu one can someone helpme?
[05:29] <theadmin> gartral: 3? Which ones apart from plymouthd?
[05:29] <gartral> i like how floodbots kick people, THEN ask them not to flood...
[05:29] <dm_> At this point id be happy with a blank screen and a blinking cursor if we only "had to look at it for a second"
[05:29] <theadmin> gartral: It does not kick, it mutes em
[05:29] <krishnandu> paris: http://ubuntuexperiment.wordpress.com/2008/11/10/installing-apache-php-mysql/
[05:29] <gartral> theadmin: 6.06 didnt have plymouth, i dont remember the names, that four years and 8+ releases ago
[05:29] <Docteh> dm_: is nosplash not working? I haven't been following along
[05:30] <theadmin> gartral: uh... Well, it had xsplash.
[05:30] <narffeyg> so fmi...is this thing world wide or just nation wide?
[05:30] <theadmin> gartral: Not much of a difference
[05:30] <dm_> Docteh it does, but thats not what we were really talking about
[05:30] <phoenix78> can i perform system administration tasks from limited privileges user profile using super user password?
[05:30] <gartral> theadmin: new ubuntu still has xsplash..
[05:30] <theadmin> phoenix78: No such thing as "super user" or "root" password
[05:31] <brontosaurusrex> narffeyg: what was/is the issue and what browser?
[05:31] <alket> I managed to make Compiz Cube but how to make that cylinder  ?
[05:31] <arbo> hey guys, fresh ubuntu lucid install, but I was tweaking settings and accidently clicked off the top panel (gnome).  How owuld I go about getting it back?
[05:31] <dm_> alket look for deformation
[05:31] <dm_> alket... or something like that
[05:31] <theadmin> ubottu: resetpanels | arbo
[05:31] <soreau> alket: install compiz-fusion-plugins-extra
[05:31] <narffeyg> xchat...just want to know how far my reach is
[05:31] <phoenix78> theadmin: I am trying to run synaptic package manager from limited privileges user profile and synaptic is not launching
[05:31] <arbo> thx
[05:31] <Izinucs> narffeyg: world wide
[05:31] <brontosaurusrex> narffeyg: all the known galaxies
[05:31] <phoenix78> theadmin: I entered the root password when prompted for
[05:31] <narffeyg> smashing
[05:32] <theadmin> phoenix78: There is no root password, really...
[05:32] <theadmin> phoenix78: It asks for YOUR password (your account has to be in "admin" group for it to work)
[05:32] <Nilos> I have the linux driver for the wireless network adapter, but need help installing it.the readme instrcutions are confusing
[05:33] <gartral> phoenix78: you need to be part of the admin group, and have your name in the sudoers file on your comp
[05:33] <dm_> brontosaurusrex: how light does mint run?
[05:33] <shazzam6999> dm_ as not light as anthing ubuntu related
[05:33] <phoenix78> theadmin: If my account is not in admin group, am i supposed to receive error or is it that the application doesn't launch at all (like in my case, synaptic is not launching)
[05:33] <dm_> shazzam6999: as not light ? :P
[05:34] <brontosaurusrex> dm_: this machine is basically a leftover from my previous workstation, so it would be unfair to say anything, i'd say similar as ubuntu
[05:34] <gartral> dm_: i have mint running on a 900mhz p3 with some 390 mb ram and a 16 mb 2d graphics card... and at desktop, theres little difference too my i7 860, 4 gigs ram, gtx 275 that im on now
[05:34] <shazzam6999> dm_: after midnight its easier to make up words than think of good ones =P
[05:34] <Docteh> phoenix78: should usually get an error of some sort, are you using gnome or kde? open a terminal and do gksu synaptic
[05:34] <narffeyg> so if i wanted to teach myself where would i start....anybody
[05:34] <dm_> gartral:  a bit overkill for a *nix box, wouldnt you say?
[05:34] <gartral> narffeyg: man intro
[05:34] <brontosaurusrex> dm_: running gnome version
[05:35] <gartral> dm_: im deving games
[05:35] <Izinucs> !manual | narffeyg
[05:35] <dm_> gartral: better be makin' some good ones
[05:35] <dm_> gartral the gaming industry has been really lacking as of late
[05:35] <phoenix78> Docteh: when i try to run from the terminal, i am getting error.  However, when i try to run from menu...it simply doesn't load and doesn't throw any error
[05:36] <gartral> dm_: im HOPING t get on with valve and help them port the steam games over...
[05:36] <Docteh> phoenix78: so whats the error
[05:36] <dm_> gartral: good luck
[05:36] <theadmin> phoenix78: It should give "you are not authorized to run the basic authenication mechanism (sudo)", however that warning dissapeared somewhere in Lucid
[05:36] <paris> krishnandu, Finally I did and right now I am in MySQL. What next?
[05:37] <gartral> dm_: they're having me play 20Qs with the current linux guy there (SHHH! Valve on linux is a reality!)
[05:37] <Docteh> boinc is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
[05:37] <phoenix78> Docteh: "The underlying authorization mechanism (sudo) does not allow you to run this program. Contact the system administrator." is the err...i get
[05:37] <Docteh> ^ thats the error i get trying to use sudo from an incorrect account
[05:37] <krishnandu> paris: ok you'll see export option there
[05:37] <gartral> Docteh: you (ironically) need sudo access to put yourself in the sudoers file
[05:37] <krishnandu> paris: click it
[05:38] <dm_> gartral: It always was a reality, its just too bad these big buck companies dont catch on more often...
[05:38] <onetinsoldier> cool
[05:38] <Docteh> gartral: thats what init=/bin/bash is for ;)
[05:38] <brontosaurusrex> dm_: its basically karmic with some makeup, or thats my view on it
[05:38] <Nilos> I have the linux driver for the wireless network adapter, but need help installing it.the readme instrcutions are confusing
[05:38] <dm_> gartral It really wouldnt take em long to port/write a client with current code, the same thing goes for many of these companies.
[05:38] <shazzam6999> can you just add people to the sudoers file in ubuntu... with visudo?
[05:38] <narffeyg> ubottu...helpful
[05:38] <theadmin> Is this a proper sudoers entry? "user ALL = apt-get, shutdown, poweroff, reboot"
[05:39] <paris> krishnandu, please wait again because I have installed MySQL -server , not the query-browser
[05:39] <gartral> dm_: not with wine, not with dx9 translations, native, linux .so libs and proper Opengl binaries. Linux-Steam is also a stable backend! just no games work yet
[05:39] <krishnandu> paris: okies
[05:39] <shazzam6999> theadmin: it doesn't have to be that complicated... user ALL=(ALL) ALL
[05:39] <dm_> brontosaurusrex: meh, i think after lucid, im finally done with ubuntu. been here since breezy, getting tired of all the breaks due to how much they want to be on the "razors edge" or what have you. Im still not very stable even after (how long since lucid been out?)
[05:39] <theadmin> shazzam6999: I want to limit the user only to certain commands
[05:40] <dm_> gartral: well thats true, they should move away from dx all together imo
[05:40] <maco> theadmin: you should give the full paths to the binaries
[05:40] <Docteh> OpenDirectX muahahaha
[05:40] <theadmin> maco: Oh, I see. Thanks.
[05:41] <theadmin> dm_: Portal works on macs now :P It means they have an OpenGL port, I suppose
[05:41] <maco> theadmin: otherwise they could just make ~/bin/apt-get as a symlink to some other command and bypass your filter
[05:41] <brontosaurusrex> dm_: what will/have you pick for the next os?
[05:41] <merculiv> there a reason why my mobile broadband connection isnt showing in the connections applet after a kernel update?
[05:41] <Docteh> hopefully not gentoo ;)
[05:41] <dm_> theadmin: so does wow, and thats a multi bazilionjillion (lol) dollar company with the resources to pump that out in a month.
[05:42] <abrookins> gartral: thanks, it's a laptop.  I'll check out the specs
[05:42] <theadmin> dm_: "works on macs", as in natively
[05:42] <gartral> dm_: there's serious talk that is valve drops dx. M$ will patch win7 so that no valve game or steam version will work... ironically, M$ is more or less threatening suicide if valve (or a handful of other companies that are talking linux right now) decide to go with open standards
[05:42] <dm_> brontosaurusrex: not sure really. kinda sad about the whole thing
[05:42] <compaq> when I suspend to ram, ie sleep, then wake, I gey blank screen
[05:42] <brontosaurusrex> dm_: whats the issue?
[05:42] <merculiv> there a reason why my mobile broadband connection isnt showing in the connections applet after a kernel update?
[05:43] <dm_> theadmin: yeah, its moving ahead in the right direction, just shifting a bit more to the left than we'd hope'd
[05:43] <Solaris444> is it looking for a particular firmware?
[05:43] <Docteh> gartral: patching windows such that things dont work would get them sued, etc etc, thats just a fanboys fantasy
[05:43] <v4> hi
[05:44] <Solaris444> did you add a repository and download the driver, or perhaps compile the driver from source?
[05:44] <gartral> Docteh: tell that too Sony
[05:44] <Docteh> Solaris444: you should address that to merculiv
[05:44] <dm_> in all reality, win7 is heavy, but alot more stable than xp or vista. With a heavy heart I say that.
[05:44] <Solaris444> the is precedent Docteh
[05:45] <dm_> It's just too bad its not open :P
[05:45] <theadmin> dm_: Linux version of Steam will be out in a few months, it's official, man, so don't you worry
[05:45] <dm_> or free
[05:45] <Solaris444> Microsoft pushed out their Windows .Net Assistant through Windows Update to Firefox users.
[05:45] <dm_> theadmin: as for other games, im not so lucky.
[05:45] <theadmin> Solaris444: Don't run Windows Update :P
[05:45] <dm_> theadmin: I dont really play steam games, so im SoL
[05:45] <Solaris444> I don't. ;-)
[05:45] <lucretiaX> anyone using 10.4 netbook remix?
[05:45] <astrobill> If I want to edit the compiz file in ubuntu 9.04, can I just comment out the blacklist entries?
[05:45] <theadmin> dm_: SoL?
[05:45] <Solaris444> So Outta Luck
[05:45] <dm_> **** out of luck
[05:46] <theadmin> dm_: I suppose that such major company as VALVe will push others in the right direction ;)
[05:46] <Docteh> Solaris444: and mozilla blacklisted them for thier trouble
[05:46] <merculiv> the mobile usb broadband worked out of the box then when I went to update its stopped working
[05:46] <dm_> theadmin in time, yes
[05:46] <paris> krishnandu, I did, I have MySQL Administrator and MySQL Query Browser. What next?
[05:46] <Solaris444> Docteh:  Sadly not.  The addon was only blacklisted because a particular version had security issues.  The current version of the .Net assistant still installs
[05:47] <krishnandu> paris: search for import option
[05:47] <v5> whta
[05:47] <krishnandu> paris: click it
[05:47] <Solaris444> So I would say if push came to shove that Microsoft is not above making other people's programs not work.
[05:47] <Solaris444> After all, part of the design docs for Vista were "f*** with Samba"
[05:47] <aperson> how do I prevent screen from starting from inside of a screen session, or even better, how should I add byobu -R to my .bashrc without it spawning a load of screen windows
[05:47] <Solaris444> Samba still doesn't work properly with Win7.
[05:47] <krishnandu> paris: just select your table files there and voila.....its done :)
[05:48] <dm_> Solaris444: as far as file sharing, i have no issues
[05:48] <Docteh> I can access my samba server from windows 7
[05:48] <v4> hey
[05:48] <Solaris444> Try using it as a file server.
[05:48] <Docteh> do you mean the other way around?
[05:48] <dm_> I... do
[05:48] <Solaris444> Or keeping your profile on it.
[05:48]  * dm_ looks at his file server box
[05:48] <merculiv> I should just go back one kernel to get it workng again?
[05:49] <paris> krishnandu, Do I have to do in MySQL Admin or MySQL Query Browser?
[05:49] <Solaris444> I can assure you, there are a number of known issues with Win7 and Samba that make it unsuitable to be a full-time file server (especially if you have remote profiles enabled)
[05:49] <Docteh> Solaris444: just sounds like microsoft wants to keep the open source developers employed
[05:49] <Solaris444> Random performance loss etc.
[05:49] <krishnandu> mysql client
[05:49] <krishnandu> login as admin
[05:49] <gartral> dm_: still around?
[05:50] <krishnandu> paris: mysql client, login as admin
[05:50] <dm_> gartral: barely
[05:50] <dm_> : /
[05:50] <Solaris444> anyways, have to go.  thanks everyone.
[05:50] <Docteh> nn ms hater :)
[05:50] <Solaris444> Oh, and don't use fakeraid.
[05:50] <Docteh> dont use fakeraid on linux either ;p
[05:50] <dm_> is that like hateraid but for fakers?
[05:50] <gixgix> new to ubuntu. sometimes a window will get stuck in "drag mode" (where the hand that's moving it has a clenched fist) and i can't drop the window anywhere. ideas?
[05:51] <Docteh> he's like a microsoftie, but the opposite, is there a term for that?
[05:51] <gixgix> Docteh: macrohardie
[05:51] <Docteh> gixgix: are you sure its not just the computer not noticing the mouse is released?
[05:51] <dm_> gartral: whats up
[05:51] <gixgix> dm_: nope!
[05:51] <gixgix> dm_: i mean, no, not sure
[05:51] <theadmin> Docteh: Restarting Metacity (or Compiz...) usually helps
[05:52] <dm_> oh i see gartral
[05:52] <dm_> gixgix wrong d bud
[05:52] <gartral> dm_: pm
[05:52] <Docteh> hehehe
[05:52] <gartral> Docteh: did you see my post
[05:52] <dm_> gartral: i got it, thanks
[05:52] <theadmin> gixgix: Sorry, the above was adressed to you
[05:52] <Docteh> gartral: aye
[05:52] <dm_> im out, laters
[05:53] <gartral> Docteh: now M$ shooting they're own balls off doesn't sound so far fetched, do it?
[05:53] <Docteh> gixgix: how do you end up putting the window down, and how often is this?
[05:53] <theadmin> gartral: Shall MS even destroy all open drivers so X will never work again... I will still stay with Linux
[05:54] <gixgix> Docteh: not sure. you know... i'm on a slow computer and it's in the middle of installing packages. i'll just wait a while!
[05:54] <Docteh> gixgix: try clicking the mouse once
[05:54] <Tazer> Hello, does anyone know how I can enable keypresses in Xscreensaver?
[05:54] <mneptok> gixgix: disable Compiz. most likely that's the issue.
[05:54] <gixgix> just curious to know if there's any kind of gesture i might accidentally be doing
[05:54] <gixgix> mneptok: got it. thanks
[05:55] <gartral> theadmin: could you rephrase that after passing it through a grammar filter please? i honestly cant tell what your saying with that statment other than "your staying with linux"
[05:55] <paris> krishnandu, For some reason I can not login into Admin. I know my password and Server Hostname, but for some reason I don't remember that I was setting Username. So...
[05:55] <mneptok> gixgix: System > Prefs > Appearance > Visual Effects (set to None)
[05:55] <gixgix> mneptok: yep. i'll try in a minute
[05:55] <Docteh> paris: sshd might have logging in as root disabled
[05:55] <theadmin> gartral: I'm just following with your and someone else's (pretty offtopic) anti-MS conversation :P
[05:56] <gixgix> btw, ubuntu is great once the network cards are working
[05:56] <Tazer> >:?
[05:56] <mneptok> Docteh: loggin in as root is disabled period in a default Ubuntu install, as root has no password set.
[05:56] <krishnandu> paris: ok for later use i'm saying you the procedure, you'll find import option(tab) there. Go to import and just select the files. Tat will be all
[05:56] <Tazer> Nobody? how about with gnome screensaver?
[05:56] <gartral> theadmin: i extrapelated that much.. but couldnt read the meaning of your sentence
[05:56] <krishnandu> paris: you'll see your tables in the right after a refresh
[05:56] <krishnandu> paris: sorry left
[05:56] <krishnandu> :)
[05:56] <Docteh> well thats one way to disable the account, but its disabled in the passwd file AND in the conf to start with
[05:57] <theadmin> gartral: What I mean is, whatever Microsoft will ever do shouldn't even remotely bother a Linux user (doesn't bother me)
[05:57] <paris> Docteh, please lead me in that?
[05:57] <vivek> guys i have been using the firefox version 3.0.17 , its not showing the chat list ,if i login to yahoo site ,
[05:58] <theadmin> vivek: 3.0.X? Just how old is that, really, use 3.6.X
[05:58] <Agu10> hi
[05:58] <Agu10> I installed ubuntu on virtualbox, but I can't enter the internet
[05:58] <Agu10> what should I do?
[05:58] <gartral> theadmin: meh, im just waiting for two things: magicjack, and bfbc2, to come to linux.. then i'll drop win7 like a hot pot0wnd
[05:59] <theadmin> Agu10: "enter the internet"? Not connecting, you mean?
[05:59] <Izinucs> Agu10: change vbox network settings from nat to bridged
[05:59] <Agu10> theadmin: I can't enter google or any webpage
[05:59] <Agu10> I'm not sure what's happening
[05:59] <gartral> Agu10: make sure your network interface in vbox isnt set to NAT, and make sure your system's firewall is set to allow vbox through
[05:59] <Docteh> paris: oh you're logging into mysql from local? username is root, should default to no password
[06:00] <theadmin> Agu10: Well, do what Izinucs said
[06:00] <Agu10> I have to choose some bridge
[06:00] <Agu10> I don't have any to choose from
[06:02] <paris> Docteh, It ask me in MySQL Admin. Server Hostname, Username and Password. the port by default is 3306
[06:03] <Docteh> paris: what does username root and password blank do?
[06:04] <Agu10> Izinucs, how can I do that? It doesn't allow me to accept without choosing any bridge adapter
[06:05] <circuitman> hi am having problem compiling a package from its source
[06:05] <Nilos> Got a deb file for a wireless adapter but I am not sure how to install it.
[06:05] <circuitman> please help me
[06:05] <Agu10> theadmin, what should I do?
[06:05] <paris> Docteh, It says 'Could not connect to host 'localhost' MySQL Error Nr.2005 and so on...
[06:06] <paris> Docteh, I have two option click OK or Ping Host in that.
[06:07] <theadmin> Agu10: Sorry, haven't used virtualbox in ages
[06:07] <Agu10> theadmin, it's ok
[06:10] <circuitman> i cant install the package called drivel from its source
[06:12] <v4_> hi
[06:13] <Agu10> so how do I choose a bridge network adapter in virtualbox ???
[06:14] <gartral> since NO ONE wants to put the name of an application ON the application in ubuntu... whats the name of the chat client in ubuntu by default?
[06:14] <circuitman> i cant install the package called drivel from its source
[06:14] <circuitman> i cant install the package called drivel from its source
[06:14] <circuitman> i cant install the package called drivel from its source
[06:14] <FloodBot1> circuitman: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[06:15] <theadmin> gartral: No idea
[06:17] <merculiv> yay I got it fixed

[06:19] <Lostinspace_46> My keyboard has no multimedia keys, however, I wish to make some "virtual" ones using xbindkeys.  I figured vol up and down.  I need to figure out next and pause. Any ideas?
[06:19] <gartral> iflema: your command just made irssi panic
[06:19] <iflema> gartral its not a command
[06:20] <iflema> gartral the server is gimpnet.org
[06:20] <iflema> gartral irc.gimpnet.org
[06:20] <gartral> iflema: /connect irc.gimpnet.org: result, "server not found"
[06:20] <cortz> @coolmadmax hi
[06:21] <IdleOne> gartral: remove :
[06:21] <ociugi> i have problem with lucid lynx on grub boot loading(dual boot) when i'm loading my windows it is only blank scree and blinking cursor
[06:22] <tripelb> Registration no longer needed for this channel?
[06:22] <gartral> IdleOne: Im not a moron.. i was using the colon for it's proper grammarical useage of seperating what i tried from it's result
[06:22] <IdleOne> gartral: did i say you are a moron?
[06:22] <Lostinspace_46> gartral: Xchat>Network list>gimpnet
[06:22] <IdleOne> gartral: btw I am getting same results
[06:22]  * iflema im in
[06:22] <tripelb> correction gartral - should be: I'm its and separating usage
[06:23] <gartral> Lostinspace_46: FUCK XCHAT! im sorry for swearing, but what that group is doing is purly unacceptable
[06:23] <IdleOne> gartral: irc.gimp.org
[06:23] <gartral> that wasnt very nice...
[06:23] <maverick_> can someone help me with problem in wine? http://paste.debian.net/73856
[06:23] <IdleOne> neither was your swearing
[06:24] <theadmin> maverick_: WINE support in #winehq
[06:24] <maverick_> theadmin: thanks
[06:24] <Lostinspace_46> gartral: whatever client you use...find network list and pick gimpnet
[06:24] <IdleOne> gartral: /connect irc.gimp.org
[06:24]  * iflema 37 odd..... outa there
[06:24] <gartral> IdleOne: i explained why i swore.. besides, i deal with kids and people from age 4+ who say every swear word known to man
[06:24] <gartral> Lostinspace_46: there is no such server
[06:25] <theadmin> gartral: Nevertheless swearing is not acceptable here.
[06:25] <tripelb> gartral, it is more creative not to swear. And to spell
[06:25] <theadmin> gartral: You break the second rule of CoC if you swear.
[06:25] <Lostinspace_46> gartral: Yes there is, I am looking at it
[06:25] <IdleOne> gartral: sorry after the fact does not excuse it. the fact that you took time to excuse yourself means you knew it was wrong. meaning you had the time to think about what you were doing and still chose to break the rules. as for the kids and people you work with. I don't care and if they come here and swear I will kick them also :)
[06:26] <thayer_> im trying to install ubuntu on a newer sony laptop and i cant get x to start at all. after grub i get black screen. i can get it to work with sabayon by editing xorg.conf in console mode, but i dont know how to get the live cd to boot into console mode
[06:26] <theadmin> thayer_: Hit Ctrl+Alt+F1 to switch to a terminal TTY
[06:26] <ScarabDrowner> Ok, how do I get Lucid to obey my power management settings?  Screensaver is disabled, monitors are set to *never* turn off, yet after 10 minutes of inactivity, the screen goes black anyway.  http://www.flickr.com/photos/43227559@N06/4610055273/sizes/o/
[06:26] <varun> upal-support
[06:27] <gartral> IdleOne: and would you not use the same language in reference to the former president of the united states? im sorry, but there are exceptions to every rule, the last time there wasnt, we had the USSR.
[06:27] <IdleOne> gartral: there are no exceptions to the rule here
[06:27] <thayer_> im pretty sure ive tried that but i will again, hoping for more suggestions
[06:27] <Lostinspace_46> gartral: What irc client are you using?
[06:27] <IdleOne> gartral: now drop it. /connect irc.gimp.org
[06:27] <gartral> IdleOne: there are exceptions to every rule, everywhere. Period.
[06:28] <theadmin> That's what you get for messing with the ops :D Thanks, IdleOne
[06:28] <Lostinspace_46> My keyboard has no multimedia keys, however, I wish to make some "virtual" ones using xbindkeys.  I figured vol up and down.  I need to figure out next and pause. Any ideas?
[06:31] <thayer_> theadmin: its not working
[06:31] <iomero> hola, me pueden ayudar con la actualizacion de 9.10 a 10.04 ubuntu

[06:31] <theadmin> ubottu: es | iomero
[06:31] <onetinsoldier> ScarabDrowner: hello. i've seen a number of people say and ask the same thing you are. wish someone knew. i think it might have to do with 'xset' settings. but i don't know
[06:32] <gixgix> mac osx has a neat little shell command "open" that opens directories in its finder or opens files in their default program. is there an equivalent?
[06:32] <thayer_> ctrl+alt+f1
[06:32] <theadmin> gixgix: xdg-open
[06:32] <iomero> ubotu gracias
[06:32] <ScarabDrowner> thanks onetinsoldier
[06:32] <iflema> ScarabDrowner did you click on make default?
[06:32] <gixgix> theadmin: splendid thank you
[06:33] <ScarabDrowner> iflema: yes, I tried that also
[06:33] <Lostinspace_46> Alternatively, how do I find the actual command that, say, XF86Next generates?
[06:35] <trevor> does anyone know of a way to change ONLY the folder icons of the default ubuntu icons
[06:35] <luckymurali> Hi all
[06:35] <onetinsoldier> hello luckymurali
[06:36] <wildbat> ll
[06:38] <silv3r_m00n> hi there
[06:38] <onetinsoldier> howdy
[06:38] <silv3r_m00n> in kde , sometimes when I copy files from 1 partition to another , for some files it says could not read file  .......why ?
[06:39] <luckymurali> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/bSBwsDU8
[06:39] <theadmin> silv3r_m00n: Do you have the proper permissions?
[06:39] <drobiazgowy> Is talking about Linux Mint here forbidden? :D
[06:39] <silv3r_m00n> oho , but I think yes
[06:39] <luckymurali> I developed a script to create a service and shd start at start up
[06:39] <silv3r_m00n> 100 files , I copy pasted them earlier
[06:39] <onetinsoldier> drobiazgowy: yes... essentially
[06:40] <luckymurali> please tell me whetehr my script is ok or I need to make changes??
[06:40] <theadmin> drobiazgowy: Yes, not here.
[06:40] <silv3r_m00n> theadmin: can permissions change on the fly just like that
[06:40] <drobiazgowy> Anyway anyone knows what is statement of Canonnical about Linux MInt?
[06:41] <theadmin> silv3r_m00n: On the fly? No. Try: sudo -R chmod ugo+r /folder/with/files/
[06:41] <theadmin> silv3r_m00n: Make sure it's not a system folder though :/
[06:41] <theadmin> drobiazgowy: Not officially supported.
[06:41] <silv3r_m00n> theadmin: gr8 idea
[06:42] <theadmin> silv3r_m00n: Err
[06:42] <Nilos> I have the linux driver for the wireless network adapter, but need help installing it.
[06:42] <theadmin> silv3r_m00n: sudo chmod -R ugo+r /folder/with/files/
[06:43] <silv3r_m00n> even better
[06:44] <Ratty_> Anyone using QtSixa in Lucid?
[06:45] <Ratty_> I can't get it to work as keyboard/mouse, it never saves the setting
[06:45] <luckymurali> theadmin, I want to add two commands at the startup how can i do that??
[06:45] <drobiazgowy> Linux Mint is more a leech than a ubuntu based distro :P
[06:46] <theadmin> luckymurali: At startup of what exactly?
[06:46] <luckymurali> ubuntu start up
[06:46] <Xchat> hi, i don't have a menu.lst in /boot/grub, how do i edit the boot options to remove  a reference to XP and older kernel?
[06:46] <luckymurali> like autoexec.bat in windows
[06:46] <theadmin> luckymurali: /etc/rc.local if I recall correctly.
[06:46] <theadmin> Xchat: It's now grub.cfg
[06:46] <LinuxPhreak> Xchat: the menu.lst is now grub.cfg
[06:46] <luckymurali> ok thanks :)
[06:47] <Xchat> oh. here it is. but is says not to edit the file.. ignore?
[06:47] <LinuxPhreak> Xchat: to modify the menu use the /etc/grub.d/ files
[06:47] <onetinsoldier> Xchat: check in /etc/default (grub file) ... and in /etc/grub.d  personally, i don't like the new config layout of grub2
[06:47] <Xchat> let me see..
[06:47] <MichaelSOG> hi
[06:47] <LinuxPhreak> Xchat: what type of modifications do you need?
[06:48] <PercyLucid> omg,this new ubuntu is not as fine as the others :/
[06:48] <MichaelSOG> is here a person who knows about rosegarden?
[06:48] <Xchat> just remove old kernel and reference to XP
[06:48] <snarkfish> is there a better place to find out about uuid, the man pages seem to leave alot to be desired.
[06:48] <snarkfish> like examples
[06:49] <gartral> IdleOne: in ANY case.. the commands you gave me have not let me connect to gimp.org's irc backend, and im subsequently discommunicated from the empathy group.
[06:49] <LinuxPhreak> Xchat: I may be wrong but I would recomend doing the 40_custom file
[06:49] <luckymurali> theadmin, after added the two commands how do i update it??
[06:49] <luckymurali> on rc.local
[06:49] <theadmin> luckymurali: It should just work, no?
[06:49] <Xchat> well it doesn't contain much
[06:49] <luckymurali> no ok i close the terminal and open it again
[06:49] <LinuxPhreak> Xchat: then sudo chmod +x /etc/grub.d/40_custom followed by sudo update-grub
[06:50] <theadmin> luckymurali: It's read at boot time, not on terminal start or something.
[06:50] <luckymurali> theadmin, no
[06:50] <luckymurali> ok
[06:50] <theadmin> luckymurali: What is read at terminal start is .bashrc
[06:50] <Xchat> that would clean the list?
[06:50] <luckymurali> now I restart my machine
[06:50] <fitzgen> Can anyone help me with making a lucid lynx bootable usb stick?
[06:50] <snarkfish> luckymurali: sudo reboot
[06:51] <snarkfish> fitzgen: penlinux.org
[06:51] <theadmin> fitzgen: We have a USB creator in the menu. There is also unetbootin
[06:51] <onetinsoldier> fitzgen: unetbootin is pretty straightforward
[06:51] <snarkfish> fitzgen: or install usbcreator
[06:52] <fitzgen> I followed http://www.linuxconfig.org/install-ubuntu-lucid-lynx-linux-from-usb-stick
[06:52] <LinuxPhreak> Xchat: in order to modify Grub2 which is part of all Ubuntu from 9.10 and up you need to modify the files I told you about. Then you need to chmod them. To make changes take affect you need to do update-grub
[06:52] <snarkfish> can anyone explain uuid stuff to me..
[06:52] <fitzgen> but when I get to selecting a kernal from th mbr prompt it doesnt work
[06:52] <Xchat> i see, but the files don't contain anything regarding the entries i'm interested in removing.
[06:52] <fitzgen> theadmin: which menu is usb creator in?
[06:53] <onetinsoldier> fitzgen: i looked at your link.. wow, just use untebootin or one of the other utilities the other guys mentioned
[06:53] <onetinsoldier> oops.... unetbootin*
[06:53] <fitzgen> onetinsoldier: k
[06:53] <LinuxPhreak> Xchat: go to the grub.cfg file copy the contents you want to make changes to. Then make changes in the 40_custom file
[06:54] <Xchat> ok thanks. i'll try and see what i can do.
[06:54] <LinuxPhreak> Xchat: I try to explain as best as I can. But if you still need help understanding the #grub channel is really helpful
[06:54] <snarkfish> wow no one knows what uuid is, or how to create one for a drive?
[06:55] <moetunes> !uuid
[06:55] <LinuxPhreak> snarkfish: sorry uuid is unique user id I remember making one in the past forget how I did it
[06:56] <snarkfish> LinuxPhreak: thanx
[06:57] <snarkfish> LinuxPhreak: least you answered. LOL
[06:57] <onetinsoldier> anyone here need an x-cursor-theme installed from .tar.gz? i can help :-)
[06:57] <LinuxPhreak> snarkfish: try blkid in terminal
[06:59] <fitzgen> onetinsoldier: What should I format the boot partition as?
[07:00] <onetinsoldier> fitzgen: well, i went with ext4 for all my partitions
[07:00] <fitzgen> that last tutorial said fat16 was best, but I dont know if I should trust them anymore....
[07:01] <onetinsoldier> fitzgen: this is on a hard drive install?
[07:01] <fitzgen> on a usb
[07:01] <fitzgen> stick
[07:01] <onetinsoldier> ohhh. dang, sorry
[07:01] <kamaris> Does anyone have a suggestion on how to resolve audio issue where "sudo aplay" outputs audio but "aplay" does not? also, inside my gnome session, i don't actually see any sound cards listed, but again, in the same session 'sudo aplay' works
[07:01] <onetinsoldier> go with fat16... sounds good
[07:01] <fitzgen> k thanks
[07:01] <onetinsoldier> unless you can get fat32.. probably better
[07:02] <LinuxPhreak> In my oppinion I prefer to format my usb drives with fat32. This is because alot of times I may need to use them on other computers
[07:03] <onetinsoldier> yeah.. fat32 would be preferred i think
[07:03] <moetunes> Kamaris: is your user in the audio group? -   groups   in terminal; will tell
[07:04] <Kamaris> moetunes, yes i added my user id to the group however, 1 sec, pasting error
[07:05] <Kamaris> aplay does not output audio, but it does return the line telling me it's playing the audio file
[07:05] <Kamaris> sudo aplay actually works, but outputs this error along with the aufio filename: "Home directory /home/kamaris not ours"
[07:06] <fitzgen> onetinsoldier: thanks for all the help, got it working :)
[07:06] <onetinsoldier> fitzgen: sweet. you're welcome. enjoy :-)
[07:06] <Hopeless8009> if i were to say i like eggs would that be off topic
[07:06] <Kamaris> "fgrep -ie 'audio' /etc/group" yields output "audio:x:29:pulse,kamaris"
[07:07] <onetinsoldier> lol Hopeless8009
[07:08] <Hopeless8009> Onetionsoldir: can you pint me to a IrC server where i can find some women
[07:09] <mneptok> !offtopic | Hopeless8009
[07:09] <arbo> lol
[07:09] <Hopeless8009> lol guess im going to Ubuntu offtopic
[07:10] <mneptok> bye now.
[07:10] <drobiazgowy> What is a command to remove unused dependencies?
[07:10] <moetunes> Kamaris: checked to see who owns the home folder for Kamaris ?
[07:10] <onetinsoldier> apt-get autoremove i think
[07:11] <Riverthief> Sup guys
[07:11] <Riverthief> I need some help
[07:11] <onetinsoldier> hello Riverthief, what's up?
[07:11] <Kamaris> moetunes: drwxr-xr-x 44 kamaris kamaris 4096 2010-05-18 23:22 kamaris
[07:11] <Riverthief> I need to remove Grub from my laptop, and restore the default windows 7 loader
[07:12] <mneptok> Riverthief: got Windows install media?
[07:12] <jabirali> drobiazgowy, sudo apt-get autoremove
[07:12] <Riverthief> Not for windows 7, other wise I would have done the fixmbr thing :p
[07:12] <Riverthief> I have vista
[07:13] <Riverthief> like
[07:13] <Riverthief> a vista cd
[07:13] <Riverthief> runnign win7 though
[07:13] <jabirali> Riverthief, you don't need to uninstall Grub, but you would have to let Windows install its bootloader
[07:13] <Kamaris> moetunes: /home is owned by root, /home/kamaris is owned by kamaris
[07:13] <jabirali> Riverthief, once Windows installs NTLDR (or whatever bootloader win7 is using), Grub will be ignored
[07:14] <Riverthief> So, would Vista install media work?
[07:14] <jabirali> Riverthief, I suspect the win install cd can do that for you, "recovery" or something
[07:14] <onetinsoldier> until he's in Linux and something triggers 'update-grub2', hehe
[07:14] <Riverthief> Just to fix the MBR and let me boot in?
[07:14] <Riverthief> k
[07:14] <jabirali> onetinsoldier, I thought that only updated /boot/grub/grub.cfg and not overwrote the MBR?
[07:15] <onetinsoldier> jabirali: i think it'll install it again. i could be wrong
[07:15] <moetunes> Kamaris: by the error you said you got the files in /home/kamaris must not be - at least some of them -   ls -la ~   to tell
[07:15] <jabirali> onetinsoldier, wouldn't you have to specifically run "grub-install (hd0)" to overwrite it? At least that's how it worked in grub1, but it might have changed.
[07:16] <jabirali> onetinsoldier, in grub1 the MBR (stage1) would only point to the location of the grub files on the system (stage2), which would contain all other settings
[07:16] <jabirali> onetinsoldier, and AFAIK update-grub only updated stage2
[07:16] <jabirali> onetinsoldier, but I might be wrong :)
[07:16] <onetinsoldier> jabirali: ok, roger
[07:17] <rocket16> Hello atroy1994, it is am, rocket16. You are welcome to our Ubuntu IRC.
[07:18] <rocket16> !hi | atroy1994
[07:19] <dyllan> Hi Guys. As a normal user I cannot change my default printer through gnome-cups-manager, if i start the app from the command line i see these errors when trying to set a default printer; ** (gnome-cups-manager:10359): WARNING **: IPP request failed with status 1280
[07:21] <inayet> #drupal-support
[07:21] <atroy1994> hello
[07:21] <gartral> IdleOne: do you know much about the internal workings of empathy?
[07:21] <rocket16> Hello atroy1994
[07:21] <jabirali> dyllan, have you tried using the web interface instead? I personally prefer it, as it is more featureful
[07:22] <atroy1994> hello
[07:22] <jabirali> dyllan, visit http://localhost:631 to configure printers from your webbrowser
[07:22] <dyllan> hi jabirali, i also prefer the web interface, however it is not user friendly for the 200 users we have unfortunately, it will just confuse them.. .
[07:23] <tripelb> hi all: Problem: Monitor stuck at low resolution. Ubuntu 9.10  [Display preferences calls it UNKNOWN] [07:23] <tripelb> o /etc/X11/xorg.conf -->  Driver          "openchrome" <-- in section "Device"  [07:23] <jabirali> dyllan, 200 users? Why do you need to switch default printers as a user then?
[07:24] <tripelb> Hope that being thorough will get me help and get this worked out. TY
[07:24] <Hopeless8009> i cant find it
[07:24] <dyllan> jabirali, each users needs to be able to select their default printer, we have 4 branches, and at least 10 printers at each branch, users need to be able to set/ change their default printer as they require.
[07:25] <jabirali> dyllan, aha, I see. Changing the default printer in gnome-cups-manager changes the default for _all_ users though
[07:26] <jabirali> dyllan, that would configure what printer is used by default by the printer server
[07:26] <inayet> I just downloaded drupal 6 on ubuntu, but do not know where it went...
[07:26] <dyllan> jabirali, ok that makes sense now, no wonder a normal user cant set that, so how would a user set their default then?
[07:26] <onetinsoldier> inayet: check ~/Downloads
[07:26] <atroy1994> how is ubuntu pronounced?
[07:27] <gartral> dyllan: there IS an alternative, but it's not user friendly... you need to make custom rules for each user, and then, when they want to change printers, they must get ahold of an admin
[07:27] <MACscr_lappy> how do i use drivers like fglrx on the live cd when it requires a reboot? =P
[07:27] <dyllan> atroy1994, oooboontwo
[07:27] <rocket16> !ubuntu | atroy1994
[07:27] <gartral> MACscr_lappy: service restart gdm
[07:27] <switchgirl> hi i want to mount an iso i need to install Lucid - i have messed up settings on the current install so my question how to mount an iso and install without burning to cd or loosing files
[07:28] <inayet> onetinsoldier: how do I do that? is there a command?
[07:28] <moetunes> !iso | switchgirl
[07:28] <onetinsoldier> inayet: ls ~/Downloads
[07:28] <dyllan> gartral, why is there no easy way of doing it, doesnt make sense? KDE has an app to allow user to modify default printer, surely Gnome cant be far behind?
[07:28] <L33tCh> atroy1994, though don't draw out the ooo too much
[07:29] <atroy1994> are all of u developers?
[07:29] <rocket16> switchgirl: You can use gmount-iso too.
[07:29] <MACscr_lappy> atroy1994: of course not
[07:29] <onetinsoldier> atroy1994: no.. not at all
[07:29] <mostafakvd> hi there my usb laser mouse does not work how could I solve that?
[07:29] <mostafakvd> plz
[07:29] <jabirali> dyllan, I'm not quite sure... Are these users all on the same computer, or on different computers connected to a printer server by using /etc/cups/client.conf ?
[07:29] <rocket16> atroy1994: All are not, but some are. But most are users, who like to help others, and exchange words about Ubuntu.
[07:29] <dyllan> jabirali, they are all on the same computer
[07:30] <inayet> onetinsoldier - nothing happens when I enter ls ~/Downloads
[07:30] <rachel_> hello everyone
[07:30] <mostafakvd> hi there my usb laser mouse does not work how could I solve that?
[07:30] <gartral> dyllan: the main difference between KDE and gnome is KDE is monolithic in nature: all settins have a home in the KDE-settings-manager.. where in gnome, it's all modular, each setting has a GUI for it's functions.. this can cause certain lesser used functions to become.. neglected.. in gnome
[07:30] <onetinsoldier> inayet: ok, then it's not in there. do the following...  sudo updatedb
[07:30] <atroy1994> exept ubuntu, do they solve hardware probs?
[07:30] <switchgirl> rocket16, thanks
[07:30] <onetinsoldier> inayet: when that's done, try.... locate drupal
[07:31] <L33tCh> mostafakvd: I'd check for USB options in the BIOS, enable legacy if possible
[07:31] <dyllan> gartral, make some sense.
[07:31] <rachel_> is there anyone here knowledgeable about ubuntu on Acer laptops?
[07:31] <rocket16> switchgirl: My pleasure, :)
[07:31] <inayet> what does sudo stand for?
[07:31] <dyllan> gartral, although i would think writing an application to manage printers in Gnome would be easy for a python developer.
[07:31] <onetinsoldier> inayet: superuser do
[07:31] <red2kic> inayet: Please.
[07:32] <mostafakvd> L33tCh: beleive or not I simply plug out the power cord and wait just 3 min
[07:32] <mostafakvd> L33tCh: then all things work well
[07:32] <MACscr_lappy> gartral: lol, that didnt work out well. Now i dont have anything on the screen besdes console messages on the right. How can i access console since X isnt working anymore?
[07:32] <gartral> dyllan: smegit! it's 2:30 am here, that's as good a sensable post as your getting out of me
[07:32] <rachel_> my acer has a reoccuring problem ... it often hangs about 2 seconds into the boot sequence
[07:32] <inayet> onetinsoldier - how do I locate drupal ?
[07:32] <switchgirl> rocket16, :s
[07:32] <onetinsoldier> inayet: try.... locate drupal
[07:32] <dyllan> gartral, jabirali, my only saving grace here is that fortunately applications seem to revert to the most commonly used printer.
[07:32] <billybigrigger> can i setup a raid with 3 disks, 1x1TB and 2x500GB?
[07:32] <L33tCh> mostafakvd: ah, hmmm, that's an interesting one... keep working when you plug it back in?
[07:32] <mostafakvd> L33tCh: but here is the problem when this happens for u 10 times an hour then what should u do?
[07:33] <dyllan> gartral, hah, fair enough, thanks ;)
[07:33] <MACscr_lappy> billybigrigger: that doesnt even make sense
[07:33] <MACscr_lappy> what kind of raid are you even wanting?
[07:33] <onetinsoldier> inayet: you really might want to try --> http://linuxcommand.org/  :-)
[07:33] <snoopy> hi
[07:33] <snoopy> how do i install flash on a 64bit pc?
[07:33] <billybigrigger> well technically i could stripe them, and thats about it, right?
[07:33] <jabirali> dyllan, I'm googling ;). There was a tool called gnome-default-printer or something before, but it seems like it disappeared years ago :(
[07:34] <inayet> onetinsoldier: I got a lot of text
[07:34] <MACscr_lappy> snoopy: it installed fine for me by just using the installer
[07:34] <onetinsoldier> inayet: is drupal an install package? you install it?
[07:34] <MACscr_lappy> aka, the software manager
[07:34] <snoopy> really? which installer?
[07:34] <jabirali> dyllan, right now I'm trying to figure out if there's some way to set the defaults for all GTK apps or something
[07:34] <gartral> billybigrigger: yes.. and no.. you'll need to raid 1 the 2xtb in software, then raid 1 the softraid disks to your real 1tb in hardware.. but i warn you! this is SLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWW
[07:34] <onetinsoldier> inayet: is drupal an installed* package? you install it?
[07:34] <rachel_> anyone?
[07:34] <inayet> onetinsoldier: Yeah I used the ubuntu software center
[07:35] <L33tCh> mostafakvd: it doens't sound to me like a driver issue or anything, though if it is, i'm affraid i won't be able to help just yet, but the first thing's i'd try are the BIOS options or even updating the BIOS of tha machine...
[07:35] <dyllan> jabirali, yup i also came across the gnome-default-printer but you are right it is no longer.. . im pretty stumped!
[07:35] <rocket16> atroy1994: We solve hardware problems, like issues with Ubuntu here. For example, suppose you have a drive not working with Ubuntu, in that case we can help you.
[07:35] <onetinsoldier> inayet: you can do... locate drupal | less   ....use 'q' key to quit out of less. page up and page up keys to page through... or arrow keys up and down to go one line at a time
[07:35] <inayet> onetinsoldier: its located at /usr/share/drupal6
[07:35] <onetinsoldier> inayet: page up and page down*
[07:35] <rachel_> rocket: are you able to help me?
[07:36] <mostafakvd> L33tCh: how could I update the BIOS?
[07:36] <mostafakvd> L33tCh: my laptop is VAIO VGN-FW390J
[07:36] <rocket16> rachel_: Me?
[07:36] <rocket16> rachel_: Sure, what is the problem?
[07:36] <rachel_> rocket: dunno, you said you help solve hardware problems right?
[07:37] <inayet> onetinsoldier: its also in /etc/drupal
[07:37] <billybigrigger> gartral, couldn't i setup all 3 disks in raid0?
[07:37] <onetinsoldier> inayet: since it's an installed package, you can also you the 'dpkg' command to list where it's installed files are, like so... dpkg -L drupal | less
[07:37] <rocket16> rachel_: Actually, I said that if any problem is related to Ubuntu and hardware, we might try to help you. If there is any specific problem, please do ask here, so that we can try to help here.
[07:38] <onetinsoldier> inayet: if you wondering where the executable is, try... dpkg -L drupal | grep bin
[07:38] <gartral> billybigrigger: you'll end up with 1.5 tb
[07:38] <L33tCh> mostafakvd: sony have an update utility if you just search for the model and go to the driver page.. only problem i see is that they only seem to have it as a winedows app
[07:38] <mikepq2008> How're y'all doing tonight?
[07:38] <inayet> onetinsoldier: I got the following message "Package `drupal' is not installed.

[07:39] <rocket16> rachel_: No problem. Just enter into Bios, while starting. Now, select the boot medium properly, and make reset the Bios to defaults.
[07:39] <inayet> its says Package 'bin' is not installed
[07:40] <jabirali> dyllan, seems like the "lp" commands at least listen to the environment variables PRINTER and LPDEST

[07:40] <onetinsoldier> inayet: try --> dpkg -l '*drup*' | grep ^ii  ...show me the output
[07:40] <rachel_> rocket:  the boot medium properly?  do you mean the boot media?

[07:40] <Snarkster> keeps telling me bad superblock
[07:40] <dyllan> jabirali, ok give me a sec
[07:40] <Snarkster> my raids are good, the partitions are still there but cant mount them
[07:40] <jabirali> dyllan, I'm not sure if Gnome apps also adhere to this, or if it's only for lp commands
[07:41] <rocket16> rachel_: Yes, just reset the settings to defaults. It might be of help.
[07:41] <dyllan> jabirali, ill try quick

[07:44] <lyrae> i quit getting internet to work on ubuntu server with broadcom chipset
[07:45] <inayet> onetinsoldier: nothing happens
[07:45] <jabirali> smellynosery, what's the output of "setxkbmap -v"?
[07:45] <onetinsoldier> inayet: you're doing something wrong.. i don't know what
[07:45] <dyllan> jabirali, doesnt seem to work.. . appreciate the efforts though!
[07:45] <moza> Hi, i guess this is more a firefox problem, but any idea if i could do something so that the firefox process terminates without having to kill it?

[07:46] <jabirali> dyllan, OK then I'm afraid I'm out of suggestions :)
[07:47] <onetinsoldier> inayet: sudo -i
[07:47] <onetinsoldier> inayet: you should not need that to this command though
[07:48] <dyllan> jabirali, no worries thanks for the help
[07:49] <onetinsoldier> if this isn't working for you, just try --> whereis drupal
[07:49] <onetinsoldier> or perhaps... whereis drupal6
[07:49] <inayet> onetinsoldier: drupal is in /etc/drupal
[07:50] <inayet> onetinsoldier: drupal6 is in /usr/share/drupal6
[07:50] <onetinsoldier> inayet: i'm sure it's in a lot of places. i really don't even know what your trying to do or what exactly it is your looking for. i might have missed it somewhere
[07:51] <moetunes> rachel_: sounds like a memory issue to me - you need to run memtest to check it
[07:51] <inayet> onetinsoldier: I want to install it on my computer.
[07:51] <tripelb> hi all: Problem: Monitor stuck at low resolution. Ubuntu 9.10  [Display preferences calls it UNKNOWN] [07:51] <tripelb> o /etc/X11/xorg.conf -->  Driver          "openchrome" <-- in section "Device"  [07:51] <rachel_> moetunes:  have you heard of the no-hlt startup parameter?
[07:51] <onetinsoldier> inayet: it is installed. you can see so by that earlier command you did...   dpkg -l '*drup*' | grep ^ii
[07:52] <tripelb> Please help me: this includes the answers to what I have been asked before.
[07:52] <rachel_> has anyone heard of the no-hlt startup parameter?
[07:52] <moetunes> rachel_: nope
[07:52] <rachel_> moetunes:  i don't think it's a memory problem.
[07:52] <onetinsoldier> inayet: dpkg -l drupal6   ...will show whether or not it's installed
[07:52] <moetunes> rachel_: k - it's your machine :]
[07:53] <disappearedng> how come sudo start mysql takes FOREVER to load? (it still hasn't finished)

[07:53] <tripelb> I want to install sensors in my gnome. My gnome is 2.28.1 and the sensors panel app requires 2.8 desktop. Can I get that in Ubuntu?  What's the difference?

[07:57] <denis_> hi 2 all
[07:58] <denis_> i need help just a little
[07:58] <denis_> can someone send me software sources, scince i accidentally deleted them
[07:58] <MACscr_lappy> so what drivers does ubuntu use by default for a system that has an ati card?
[07:58] <denis_> please
[07:58] <denis_> the regural one
[07:59] <denis_> Mac, the ubuntu developers create 1 , and test it
[07:59] <denis_> if it doesn't find it , that means it doesn't exist
[07:59] <denis_> but
[07:59] <denis_> google for it
[07:59] <Cynthia> denis_: specifically, what do you want? the default sources.list file?
[07:59] <denis_> yep
[08:00] <denis_> p.s
[08:00] <denis_> my cd-rom is broken
[08:00] <pc07> hi ihr arschgesichter
[08:00] <denis_> I wouldn't bother u
[08:00] <MACscr_lappy> denis_: stop using the enter key for punctuation, sheesh
[08:00] <pc07> reparier sie
[08:00] <denis_> sorry for flood)
[08:00] <inayet> I've download drupal6 on my ubuntu. Now how do I use it?
[08:01] <denis_> the drupal cms?
[08:01] <pc07> whio are you
[08:01] <denis_> me?
[08:01] <inayet> denis_: yes
[08:01] <pc07> hey denis
[08:01] <denis_> how to quote???
[08:02] <denis_> inayet you should download a server just like in windows
[08:02] <denis_> try LAMPP
[08:02] <MACscr_lappy> running drupal locally is retarded
[08:02] <inayet> denis_: Drupal6 is located at /usr/share/drupal6 when I click on install.php a window comes up with code...
[08:02] <MACscr_lappy> last thing we need is more people running insecure servers
[08:02] <denis_> why? i do develop on local.
[08:02] <ziga__> anyone from bug squad here?
[08:02] <Cynthia> MACscr_lappy: running anything locally is good for staging
[08:03] <Cynthia> You can test and develop without fear that someone will take advantage of a flaw in your current development efforts, etc.
[08:03] <denis_> +1
[08:03] <denis_> so will someone give me softwaresources.list file?
[08:04] <denis_> please
[08:04] <MACscr_lappy> Cynthia: do you really think that someone that cant figure out how to install drupal and get it to work knows anything about dev and security? =P
[08:04] <Cynthia> denis_: I'm working on pastebinning it. I forgot that I was on Karmic and not Lucid. I'm booting a VM into Lucid now. :)

[08:07] <MACscr_lappy> moetunes: my mood isnt bad, i just dont think people should be running servers locally. Its fine if its lan based, but a lot of these kids open ports 25 and port 80 for public use and have no idea what they are doing
[08:07] <Cynthia> denis_: uh, `gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources/list`?
[08:07] <Cynthia> er, whoops. sources.list, not sources/list
[08:07] <MACscr_lappy> thus get exploited and are a source of ddos, spam, etc, etc
[08:07] <disappearedng> http://paste.pocoo.org/show/215591/ Cynthia: my current conf
[08:07] <ziga__> no, no not just here anywhere..mail, downloading, youtube...everything is slow

[08:08] <MACscr_lappy> Jordan_U: lol
[08:08] <Cynthia> MACscr_lappy: you're debating exploits in local configurations. Local servers are more secure than public servers.
[08:08] <Cynthia> Just let go, please? :)
[08:08] <denis_> thx) a lot. I was right, some1 or something cleaned my sources.list))
[08:08] <moetunes> MACscr_lappy: it was more the tone then the point i was commenting on and it wasn't just that post - but if you say you're fine then ok
[08:08] <MACscr_lappy> well obviously something that isnt open to the internet is a bit more secure =P

[08:09] <Cynthia> disappearedng: Do you have a device named literally ethX? If not, (see 'ifconfig -a' to check) you'll have to replace the X in mysql.conf:6 to be a digit
[08:09] <MACscr_lappy> i either need to quit and go back to windows (God i hope not) or i have to figure it i out
[08:09] <moetunes> MACscr_lappy: I have a post that might help - one min
[08:09] <Cynthia> disappearedng: (+) My configuration would have eth0.

[08:10] <Cynthia> (Repeat from 24 min ago) My computer, running Ubuntu Lucid i386, refuses to update the linux package using a regular 'apt-get upgrade' command. Let's assume I don't have access to a GUI (as I know the Update Manager works, from LiveCD use). What should I use to have 'linux' get upgraded?

[08:11] <xeross_> Somehow my programs keep closing, normally it would happen when one runs out of RAM memory but only 40% of it is being used
[08:11] <marco_111> anybody?
[08:11] <moetunes> Cynthia: does it give an error - what makes you think there is an update to linux available?
[08:11] <Cynthia> disappearedng: You've edited the configuration to be correct, great - but it still won't start until eth0 goes up, which means it has to go back down first. Reboot to test, or issue 'sudo ifdown eth0; sudo ifup eth0'
[08:12] <marenostrum> Hello. Ubuntu 9.10 here. I've had Miro (Internet TV) installed. Today, - I believe that after the updates related with gdm, xserver-common, xserver-xorg-core - Miro is uninstalled without any warning or something like that. Any idea?
[08:12] <marco_111> the first time im installing Ubuntu and got this error :(
[08:12] <Cynthia> moetunes: These packages have been held back: linux linux-image linux-image-generic
[08:12] <tripelb> My monitor is stuck at 600x800 even though the specs say it can do 1280 x 1024 -- can you help?
[08:12] <Cynthia> Appears in apt-get upgrade's output
[08:12] <marco_111> How can i solve this error message "No Root file system is defined please correct this from the partitioning menu"
[08:12] <disappearedng> Cynthia: how come when I am getting: Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0. when I do a `sudo ifup eth0`
[08:13] <disappearedng> ifconfig lists eth0 and lo as interfaces
[08:13] <moetunes> Cynthia: isn't that because you use the 386 one?
[08:13] <MACscr_lappy> moetunes: my biggest problem are 1) i have two different model ati cards (3200 and 4850) 2) i need to be able to use all 3 at the same time. Aka, move windows between them all, etc. I dont think xrandr supports mutiple gpu's (note: im not trying to do any type of crossfire or anything like that)
[08:13] <Cynthia> tripelb: To help with that problem, we need to know what the brand of your video chipset is, e.g. nVidia, ATI, Trident etc.
[08:13] <tripelb> Cynthia, My video card: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. KM400/KN400/P4M800 [S3 UniChrome] (rev 01)]
[08:14] <Cynthia> moetunes: I do use the i386 kernel, and the install is i386
[08:15] <moetunes> MACscr_lappy: it is not something i tried but afaik you have two devices in xorg.conf and list them in the serverlayout section as per that link I posted

[08:22] <moetunes> Cynthia: have you tried   sudo apt-get install linux linux-image linux-image-generic   or trying from update and upgrade?
[08:23] <Cynthia> moetunes: Only an update && upgrade command
[08:24] <elric> Anybody know how to fix the crackling sound?
[08:24] <moetunes> Cynthia: if your present kernel isn't a generic one apt won't upgrade to the generic afaik - you can do the apt-get install if you want

If I understand correctly there's another driver called "radeon" available, and I would like to try if that fixed the problems I'm having. Can I switch to using it by simply changing the line in xorg.conf, or is there something more I need to do?
[08:29] <moetunes> noren:   /var/log/Xorg.0.log

[08:32] <Cynthia> Did you reinstall Ubuntu and have a certain inline viewer installed before? Were you on Windows? [afaik the default is to open the document externally with Evince]

[08:35] <viliny__> rachel_: whats up?
[08:35] <HammerHead66> please just ask what you need help with
[08:35] <jabirali> lanoxx, opening it inline probably means you had "acroread" installed, it comes with a firefox plugin
[08:35] <rachel_> viliny:  my laptop hangs when i boot ubuntu
[08:35] <HammerHead66> what does it say on screen?
[08:35] <jabirali> lanoxx, try: sudo apt-get install acroread
[08:35] <viliny__> rachel_: has it always done this or just recently started doing it?
[08:35] <habanany> what should i do here # If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update
[08:35] <habanany> # /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
[08:35] <habanany> GRUB_DEFAULT=0

[08:36] <rachel_> viliny:  it doens't always hang ... only sometimes
[08:36] <rachel_> viliny:  but i tied it 15 times today and it hung every time, but tonight booted with no problems
[08:36] <viliny__> rachel_: i had the same problem on my laptop when 10.04 was a release candidate - newer version however worked. I have no idea how to fix your problem though, maybe someone more experienced can give you a way to debug it and try and fix it
[08:37] <rachel_> viliny:  how do i get someone's attention?
[08:37] <a3ist> rachel:  I just tabbed over; where are you hanging and do you have intel integrated graphics
[08:37] <[Screamo]> Anyone know of a good place to find themes for 10.04?
[08:38] <a3ist> gnome-look.org
[08:38] <rachel_> a3inst: tabbed over?
[08:38] <a3ist> was in another channel
[08:38] <a3ist> missed the start of the convo
[08:38] <viliny__> rachel_: most likely multiple channels open represented in tabs at the bottom of the screen in irc-client
[08:38] <rachel_> k
[08:39] <a3ist> was actually 4 workspaces over, in another distribution of linux via virtualbox :P
[08:39] <rachel_> a3ist:  r u an expert?
[08:39] <viliny__> rachel_: my guess is you need to boot ubuntu in a way that lets you see what it does and where it hangs, don't remember how thats done right now though
[08:39] <viliny__> a3ist: this is typed into a vbox running on a work computer ;)
[08:39] <a3ist> rachel_ that's a bit of a relative term :P  But I had a problem with the system hanging at a black screen on my laptop after installing Lucid
[08:39] <rachel_> what did you do about it?
[08:39] <HammerHead66> go into grub went it starts up
[08:40] <a3ist> viliny__, I'm setting up arch in a vb test env before I try switchin my laptop over to it
[08:40] <viliny__> a3ist: sounds like a good idea
[08:40] <a3ist> rachel_:  I have intel graphics (855gm) and had to enable the boot param "i915.modeset=1"
