[12:25] <eltese> Hello. im running AWN and I get a warning message saying "This screen isnt composited. Run Compiz (-fusion) or another ..." any ideas ? (I suck at this)
[12:25] <bullhound> hi can u tell me how to configure printer in unbuntu
[12:25] <greyfox> ActionParsnip : Hold on a minute I'll switch to ubuntu(and use the other pc )
[12:25] <Dr_Willis> bullhound:  system -> admin -> printers
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> greyfox: then use either a wired connection til you get on your feet or use: sudo lshw -C network > ~/output.txt
[12:26] <ActionParsnip> greyfox: then copy the file onto your windows partition or a usb stick
[12:26] <greyfox> ok
[12:26] <greyfox> moment
[12:26] <bullhound> [Dr_Willis] i installed cups' for lbp3000 but i am not able to print evena page
[12:26] <ActionParsnip> greyfox: you will need a web connection to download what you need to get it working
[12:27] <oguncak> hi friends. i just went to the pidgin web-site and wanted to download the 2.6 version. i applied the ppa changes but update manager didnt find any updates. what can i do?
[12:27] <Dr_Willis> bullhound:  cups is normally installed by default. Check cups.org for your specific printer to see how well supported it is.
[12:27] <jrib> oguncak: pastebin the output of « apt-cache policy pidgin »
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> oguncak: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[12:27] <bullhound> yeah its supported
[12:27] <bullhound> but not printing anything
[12:28] <Dr_Willis> bullhound:  check your cups logs. in /var/logs perhaps.
[12:28] <oguncak> pidgin:
[12:28] <oguncak>   Installed: 1:2.5.8-1ubuntu2~pidgin1.9.04
[12:28] <oguncak>   Candidate: 1:2.5.8-1ubuntu2~pidgin1.9.04
[12:28] <oguncak>   Version table:
[12:28] <oguncak>  *** 1:2.5.8-1ubuntu2~pidgin1.9.04 0

[12:28] <FloodBot3> oguncak: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:28] <mocas> hi there
[12:29] <mocas> anyone know some gug for 9.04 that monitor blinks on login screen after reboot?
[12:29] <jrib> oguncak: pastebin the relevant file where you added the ppa
[12:30] <oguncak> i just did the things on pidgin website
[12:31] <deany> oguncak, according to your paste, its the latest version already installed
[12:32] <oguncak> yes, but on the pidgin website, a 2.6 version is available!!
[12:32] <mocas> I can't boot :(
[12:32] <mocas> I mean, login
[12:32] <deany> oguncak, 2.6 source code maybe, it takes some time before a deb is compiled
[12:33] <deany> oguncak, I use getdeb, its quicker
[12:33] <oguncak> there was a deb package also, but when compiling it gave an error: "dependency" etc.
[12:34] <bullhound> Dr_Willis: my printer is not supported by default so i have to load the drivers
[12:34] <deany> oguncak, it might be available I dont know, I`m still using 2.5.8 which works fine.  let me add the ppa and have a look
[12:35] <oguncak> deany ok.. waiting
[12:36] <bullhound> Dr_Willis: i did exactly the samething as here http://www.unixmen.com/linux-distributions/ubuntu/229-installation-canon-lbp2900-on-linux but no use
[12:37] <Dr_Willis> I have no idea.. I have a canon 1600 that works now..  i just plug mine in.. i jsut have to say that i a not ever going to buy a canon printer again. :) And thats all i know on the topic. Check the ubuntu forums perhaps to see if others have issues with it as well
[12:37] <oguncak> how can i change the subtitle font on vlc?? i try to change it to liberation-sans, but it uses something default like sans or sth else..???
[12:37] <leaf-sheep> oguncak: Be patient. Pidgin's latest version are available in source (tar.gz) but only ONE pidgin developer maintaining that PPA.  He'll get around to it and update the PPA to latest.
[12:37] <leaf-sheep> (whenever he can... and when he have time to do it).
[12:38] <frank32> ...
[12:38] <oguncak> ok.. then no problem.. i have to be patient.. thanks deany.. very much..
[12:38] <deany> oguncak, ok, 2.5.8 is the latest available from their ppa
[12:38] <frank32> any one speak Arabic please
[12:38] <WilliamC2> What's Arabic?
[12:39] <jrib> !sa | frank32
[12:39]  * Dr_Willis guesses a language someone speaks..
[12:39] <oguncak> yes.. leaf-sheep also told me about that.. thank your very very much
[12:39] <deany> oguncak, as I have just done an "upgrade" and its wantin to upgrade my 2.5.8 version to 2.5.8 :)  I installed mine from getdeb.net so maybe thats why the conflict with the repo
[12:39] <WilliamC2> So, anyways
[12:39] <frank32> hahah Arabic language
[12:39] <WilliamC2> I'm getting strange make errors
[12:39] <WilliamC2> libtool: Version mismatch error.  This is libtool 2.2.6, but the
[12:39] <WilliamC2> libtool: definition of this LT_INIT comes from libtool 2.2.7a.
[12:39] <WilliamC2> libtool: You should recreate aclocal.m4 with macros from libtool 2.2.6
[12:39] <WilliamC2> libtool: and run autoconf again.
[12:39] <oguncak> so.. what can wwe do?
[12:39] <FloodBot3> WilliamC2: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:40] <ActionParsnip> WilliamC2: use pastebin for multiple lines or you will scroll the channel and make it useless
[12:40] <deany> oguncak, if you REALLY want to have it now, remove your existing version and the repo, remove .purple from your home folder and get the debs from getdeb.net.. I`d wait
[12:40] <WilliamC2> sorry
[12:40] <indus> whats so funny frank
[12:40] <WilliamC2> Well, anyways, I cannot resolve the issue, even after doing what it said.
[12:40] <papo> deany: 2.5.8? Is this about pidgin/libpurple?
[12:40] <frank32> nothing,, i wanna some one to talk with him
[12:40] <deany> wow, more kernel updates.. I only did it yesterday
[12:41] <deany> papo, yes
[12:41] <oguncak> deany, ok.. i will try to do it now.

[12:44] <oguncak> hm allright..
[12:44] <papo> leaf-sheep: the arbitrary code execution thing

[12:44] <oguncak> these are enuf to compile?
[12:44] <frank32> how to see what i have?
[12:44] <indus> frank32: well, drivers for that are already included in the system, what problem are you facing
[12:44] <deany> oguncak, install, yes
[12:45] <leaf-sheep> papo: I see.  Well, getdeb is not offically supported in first place. It's the thought that counts. :P
[12:45] <indus> frank32: go to mainmenu>accessories>terminal and type 'lsusb' without the quotes
[12:45] <indus> frank32: sorry i mean lspci
[12:45] <oguncak> ok.. i will check it out
[12:45] <oguncak> see you
[12:45] <deany> oguncak, there are 4 files to download.
[12:45] <oguncak> ok.. i will look at on getdeb.net??
[12:46] <deany> oguncak, its the first thing on the page :)
[12:46] <papo> leaf-sheep: huh all of a sudden I'm not sure if we are talking about the same thing... you did not upgrade to 2.6.1 because of the vulnerability?
[12:46] <oguncak> :D

[12:46] <frank32> my problem is >> right click at desktop then  change desktop background  then  visual effects
[12:46] <oguncak> yess.. vulnerabilitiy :D
[12:46] <oguncak> papo
[12:46] <leaf-sheep> papo: 2.6.1 is the latest.  We were talking about oguncak's issue and his attempts to upgrade to latest.
[12:46] <frank32> with me
[12:46] <deany> oguncak, you are still better off using the repo, cuz you have to do this every time its upgraded
[12:47] <papo> leaf-sheep: hm ok then
[12:47] <oguncak> ohh yesss.. that onee.. yeah..
[12:47] <leaf-sheep> oguncak: I'm going to bed now. You should do the same. It'll get updated eventually. :3

[12:48] <greyfox`> Ok
[12:48] <randoms> yes, this is not the right place to ask, but is there any windows server channels on this network, or any other networks for that sake?
[12:48] <deany> oguncak, still, the deb on getdeb is not 2.6.1 its 2.6.0
[12:49] <indus> HACKER10011: heh were you in here some days ago with same issue?

[12:50] <Paraj> Using the Ubuntu 9.04 alternate install disc and I am trying to make an encrypted partition (dm-crypt) on a USB Flash drive so I can install Ubuntu onto it, however, partman-crypto fails with "Can not access device" when I attempt to configure it. Is there a work around for this?
[12:50] <deany> oguncak,  "This PPA is maintained by one developer, so please be patient. It often lags behind the source releases a couple of days."
[12:50] <greyfox`> I have a problem with my wifi, there is no driver for my wifi card on linux, can someone help me please
[12:50] <oguncak> ok deany.. i will listen to your advice.. you are right.. i mustnt fight blind :D

[12:51] <FloodBot3> fleso11: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:51] <C-S-B> Flomar: x freezing or program freezing?
[12:51] <C-S-B> Flomar: you could try dmesg|tail
[12:51] <Flomar> everything mess up
[12:51] <Flomar> my keyboard is locked
[12:52] <Flomar> i can`t even go to a tty
[12:52] <EricInBNE> just looking at new dist-upgrade...installed nouveau but im on nvidia-180 - will my system work on reboot?
[12:52] <Flomar> the behaviour is quite strange...
[12:53] <Flomar> i`m now working on this system
[12:53] <Dr_Willis> !info nouveau
[12:53] <Flomar> but without any explanation it freezes... i thought it was firefox but isn`t
[12:54] <EricInBNE> weird its mentioned in the Setting up
[12:54] <C-S-B> Flomar: might be an x freeze, do you have desktop effects on?
[12:54] <Flomar> no...
[12:54] <oguncak> hi friends. how can I change the subtitle font in vlc player? when i try to set the liberation-sans font up, nothing changes and sth like default comes over sans or sth else.. what can I do?????
[12:54] <Flomar> that was a problem i had with x
[12:54] <Flomar> i have a nvidia 7100gs but none of the nvidia drivers worked
[12:55] <Dr_Willis> oguncak:  i would check the vlc homepage/docs theres proberly somthing in the vlcrc or some other config file you can change
[12:55] <Flomar> it worked for some minutes before began to mess up all the screen
[12:55] <Flomar> now i`m using the vesa generic driver
[12:55] <C-S-B> Flomar: well you can alt + sysreq reisub to get reboot if you get stuck.
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> oguncak:  theres several mentions of font in .config/vlc/vlcrc but not sure what ones controll what.
[12:56] <Flomar> sysreq reisub... sorry i didn`t understand
[12:56] <Flomar> i quite a newbie in ubuntu
[12:56] <C-S-B> Flomar: there was some regression in the x drivers .
[12:56] <Flomar> yes
[12:56] <C-S-B> oh, erm
[12:56] <deany> i thought it was rseiub
[12:56] <C-S-B> !magic keys
[12:57] <oguncak> god.. did it have to be that hard? ok, i will check out.
[12:57] <fnord|> I was wondering what the best way is to resize the partition where my Ubuntu installation is on?
[12:57] <Dr_Willis> oguncak:  no idea.. you may be overlooking some very trivial way to change it..
[12:58] <C-S-B> Flomar: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-use-magic-system-request-keys-in-ubuntu-linux.html
[12:58] <paissad-hp> is it possible to make works compiz-fusion effects through a vnc client/server ?
[12:58] <Dr_Willis> paissad-hp:  that wouldent work very well.
[12:58] <oguncak> Dr_Willis, but that "must be" trivial!!! or how can it be a proper player?
[12:59] <paissad-hp> Dr_Willis, ok
[12:59] <fnord|> I was wondering what the best way is to resize the partition where my Ubuntu installation is on?
[12:59] <C-S-B> paissad-hp: why would you want or need to
[12:59] <weihmayr> #ubuntu-br
[12:59] <C-S-B> ?
[12:59] <C-S-B> fnord|: gparted
[12:59] <Dr_Willis> oguncak:  dont know, dont really care.
[12:59] <C-S-B> fnord|: but back up first
[12:59] <fnord|> Okay, will do, thnx. :)
[12:59] <Flomar> very nice
[12:59] <Dr_Willis> oguncak:  it plays all i need.  i have no issues with the fotns it uses.
[13:00] <InNeedOfHelp> Could somebody give me some private assistance in solving a problem with my input devices (keyboard/mouse) in ubuntu 9.04? I'd be forever grateful
[13:00] <paissad-hp> C-S-B, i would like to control my entire desktop station , as if i were in front of it !
[13:00] <paissad-hp> via vnc
[13:00] <Dr_Willis> oguncak:  you have noticed the vlc 'perferances' dialog has some 'basic/advanced' buttons/options to hide a great many settings?
[13:00] <paissad-hp> with all effects
[13:01] <deany> vnc doesnt work well with compiz enabled, for me so i turn it off
[13:01] <Dr_Willis> paissad-hp:  with vnc - you want as minimal as a desktop as you can get.. or you will watching SLOW SLOW SLOW scrreen redraws
[13:01] <oguncak> yes.. i noticed that and had a hard work on that.. but no way...
[13:01] <Dr_Willis> I tend to use ultra-minimal desktop/window managers for my vnc sessions
[13:01] <paissad-hp> Dr_Willis, ok, thanks for the advice,
[13:01] <C-S-B> paissad-hp: are you running throgh gigabit ethernet?
[13:01] <paissad-hp> C-S-B, yes
[13:01] <oguncak> i may be sort of specialist, but i will solve that problem. thanks a lot..
[13:02] <C-S-B> paissad-hp: whats wron with vga out of question?
[13:02] <Dr_Willis> oguncak:  on VLC perferances. on the 'subtieles & OSD' theres a  font setting...
[13:03] <oguncak> yeah.. i tried that ny pal..
[13:03] <greyfox`> Can someone help me please, there is not wifi driver for my linux.
[13:03] <Dr_Willis> You might have to close vlc and restart it for it to take effect.
[13:03] <paissad-hp> C-S-B, nothing's wrong, when i run vncviewer, i have the window, but i don't have the compiz-fusion effects of the server station , i would like to have them if possible
[13:03] <paissad-hp> but it does not really matter
[13:03] <C-S-B> greyfox`: ndiswrapper could work, whats your device?
[13:04] <C-S-B> paissad-hp: im not too sure on how you would enable them, but as everyone else here I wouldnt recommend it anyhow
[13:04] <greyfox`> C-S-B : wait a moment I'll tell you
[13:04] <paissad-hp> C-S-B, that's what i think too, thanks btw :-)
[13:04] <oguncak> i use this path to load the subtitle type: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeSans.ttf >>>> is that ok? that might be a problem of that???
[13:05] <vld_> how to restore desktop folder http://ubuntu-pics.de/bild/14578/snapshot3_Ohqh0w.png
[13:06] <Paraj> Using the Ubuntu 9.04 alternate install disc and I am trying to make an encrypted partition (dm-crypt) on a USB Flash drive so I can install Ubuntu onto it, however, partman-crypto fails with "Can not access device" when I attempt to configure it. Is there a work around for this?
[13:06] <Dextorion> C-S-B, i had no idea about those SysRq keys. How long have those been there?
[13:06] <peol> Any kind soul around to help me setup my twinview? Fullscreen OpenGL apps makes my second display go into sleep mode. xorg.conf and xrandr: http://pastebin.com/d22fdbc5b
[13:06] <C-S-B> Dextorion: a little while :)
[13:06] <Dextorion> C-S-B, quite some time it..
[13:07] <MOUD> Hey all
[13:07] <C-S-B> hey
[13:07] <InNeedOfHelp> I did a clean install of ubuntu 9.04 and my keyboard and mouse are not responding at all. (They are working in previous versions, in the bootloader and even if I start from the 9.04 live cd) Could anyone give me any hints where to start looking? I'm completely lost here! (even in the recovery mode they are not responding)
[13:08] <Dextorion> C-S-B: haha. yeah. I guess i dont fiddle around as much as i used to do!
[13:08] <RabidWeezle> peol, how I get around that is go non-fullscreen at same res as the desktop in question
[13:08] <MOUD> How do I disable the mouse scroll so that it doesn't take me to the next desktop?
[13:08] <C-S-B> Dextorion: it good to know, i hate holding down the power 'windows' style to reboot a crashed machine.
[13:08] <paissad-hp> another question, is it possible to automatically adjust the resolution of the server screen to the resolution of the screen's client ?
[13:08] <paissad-hp> it's about vnc
[13:09] <greyfox`> paissad-hp : Dell Wireless WLAN 1397 Half MiniCard
[13:09] <Flomar> i`m using the generic driver but i still have many nvidia related packages installed
[13:09] <C-S-B> moud, disable viewpoint switcher
[13:09] <Dextorion> C-S-B, yeah, i agree. And looked like there were a couple of other quite useful keys there aswell
[13:09] <Flomar> can this be an issue to my freezes?
[13:09] <RabidWeezle> paissad-hp: no, you have to change the resolution the old fashioned right click on the desktop, goto properties way :(
[13:09] <paissad-hp> RabidWeezle, ok thx
[13:09] <peol> Rabbitbunny: Yeah, thing is it's quakelive (browser based), I can't do that =P I've read of people having meta modes setup for that to work, but I just can't get it to work over here
[13:09] <C-S-B> Flomar: maybe...im not too sure tbh
[13:10] <Flomar> ok i`ll deinstall them and reboot system
[13:10] <Flomar> my system is almost 30 minutes up rsrs that`s a miracle
[13:10] <RabidWeezle> quake live is on linux now peol?
[13:10] <RabidWeezle> ooh
[13:10] <MOUD> C-S-B: where is it? I didn't find in the mouse options
[13:10] <greyfox`> is ndiswrapper really good ?
[13:10] <hbekel> InNeedOfHelp: xorg switched to input hotplugging lately
[13:10] <C-S-B> moun, just disable the whole feature in the compiz manager
[13:10] <peol> RabidWeezle: Aye mate, came yesterday :)
[13:11] <C-S-B> greyfox`: its ok if you can't get anything else to work
[13:11] <InNeedOfHelp> hotplugging? which means?
[13:11] <RabidWeezle> I thanks peol I'll get it and add it to my linux gaming blog :)
[13:11] <MOUD> C-S-B: ok
[13:11] <hbekel> InNeedOfHelp: see http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg_input_hotplugging for example
[13:12] <Imperion> may I request a certain Ubuntu forums user which has never posted or done anything be, um, liberated, so I may register under his name?
[13:12] <MOUD> C-S-B: it worked, thanks
[13:12] <indus> InNeedOfHelp: hotpluggin means, connect certain devices without turning off power.etc
[13:12] <C-S-B> greyfox`: have you tried b43 module?
[13:13] <MOUD> Did anyone try the latest Nvidia drivers from nvidia?
[13:13] <indus> what u mean latest
[13:13] <hbekel> InNeedOfHelp: if you don't need it, disabling it may be the simplest thing to do
[13:13] <indus> iam using them
[13:13] <indus> in karmic
[13:13] <InNeedOfHelp> ok thanks I'll see if I can find anything on there that can help me.... but I'm not plugging in any devices, they are already connected when I boot....
[13:14] <MOUD> indus: I mean the one that isn't in the repository (newer than 180.x)
[13:14] <C-S-B> greyfox`: sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter
[13:14] <InNeedOfHelp> I don't know how to disable anything though, because I can't get into ubuntu without my devices :)
[13:14] <indus> MOUD: yeah i have karmic so its latest
[13:14] <hbekel> InNeedOfHelp: boot into single user mode
[13:14] <C-S-B> greyfox`: modprobe b43
[13:14] <indus> MOUD: which driver do u mean
[13:14] <lynxie> Hello, anybody know how much space "tasksel install lamp-server" will use/need?
[13:14] <MOUD> hbekel: What about deleting the whole xorg and let ubuntu create a new one? It might work
[13:15] <C-S-B> indus: i think 185 is out.
[13:15] <indus> iam using it
[13:15] <indus> C-S-B: iam using it since i use karmic
[13:15] <MOUD> indus:  yeah, 185
[13:15] <InNeedOfHelp> how do I boot into single user mode? even at the options screen my input devices are not responding
[13:15] <MOUD> indus: any problems with it?
[13:15] <C-S-B> greyfox`: any luck?
[13:15] <indus> MOUD: well, its same as older drivers if u have older 7 series cards, maybe slower i dont know
[13:16] <mcmlxxi> can anybody help me with pidgin settings? I am trying to add my gmail account with other domain
[13:16] <indus> MOUD: it has improved support for HD video encoding/decoding
[13:16] <Dr_Willis> InNeedOfHelp:  on some of my pc's i have to use a PS2 keyboard to alter/change the grub items. USB dident work on one flakey box for grub
[13:16] <MOUD> indus: I have a 8700M GT
[13:16] <sipior> InNeedOfHelp: what sort of keyboard and mouse do you have?
[13:16] <indus> MOUD: i suggest you stick to repo versions
[13:17] <linuxson25> gee wizz.....registered two nicks with nickserve, now I cant use any of them....lol
[13:17] <MOUD> indus: I think I'll give a try. Do you know the direct link?
[13:17] <greyfox`> C-S-B : trying to run ndiswrapper
[13:17] <greyfox`> I installed the tar but still not find it :/
[13:17] <MOUD> indus: ok then
[13:17] <InNeedOfHelp> i've got a logitech wireless desktop, but I tried with another usb keyboard/mouse with the same result
[13:17] <indus> MOUD: ok but its risky installation
[13:17] <Dr_Willis> InNeedOfHelp:  no ps2 keyboard to try eh?
[13:18] <sipior> InNeedOfHelp: wired, or no?
[13:18] <C-S-B> greyfox`: did you try b43?
[13:18] <C-S-B> greyfox`: sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter
[13:18] <C-S-B> greyfox`: modprobe b43
[13:18] <MOUD> indus: np, I would like to try it
[13:18] <InNeedOfHelp> i'll try with the wired one for now, to get things fixed, but obviously in the end i'd like to get my wireless desktop working
[13:19] <InNeedOfHelp> i'll see if i can get into single user mode somehow and get back to you guys
[13:19] <InNeedOfHelp> thanks already
[13:21] <C-S-B> greyfox`: try the above if you dont have luck with ndiswrapper probably be a better option
[13:21] <fleso11> helo
[13:21] <indus> MOUD: ok check for beta versions of driver on nvidia site
[13:21] <MOUD> indus: ok
[13:22] <fleso11> i have a problem with my blender 3d
[13:22] <greyfox`> C-S-B : thank you
[13:22] <indus> MOUD: do u know the procedure?
[13:22] <RabidWeezle> the last beta nvidia driver was rather nice, opengl spec 3.2
[13:22] <greyfox`> for help
[13:22] <MOUD> indus: no, but I think they explain in there
[13:22] <indus> MOUD: hmm well that doesnt alwasy work
[13:22] <MOUD> oh
[13:23] <indus> MOUD: but anyways, also follow some ubuntu docs for that or some blogs
[13:23] <C-S-B> greyfox`: working yet?
[13:23] <C-S-B> moud: use envy
[13:23] <MOUD> C-S-B: ok
[13:24] <C-S-B> MOUD: trust me, if you dont you'll be in a world of pain
[13:24] <greyfox`> C-S-B: how do I run b43 ?
[13:24] <greyfox`> I installed both ndiswrapper and b43
[13:24] <MOUD> C-S-B: ok, I'll check
[13:24] <C-S-B> greyfox`: its a module, you use 'sudo modprobe b43'
[13:25] <C-S-B> greyfox`: have you install b43-fwcutter?
[13:25] <hdon> can i get xchat on jaunty to beep when my nick is mentioned?
[13:25] <greyfox`> C-S-B : yes
[13:25] <greyfox`> xhunter@xhunter-laptop:~$ sudo modprobe b43
[13:25] <greyfox`> xhunter@xhunter-laptop:~$
[13:25] <hdon> ah here is the option
[13:25] <C-S-B> greyfox`: thats good.
[13:25] <greyfox`> now how do I start it :/
[13:26] <greyfox`> wifi is still not working
[13:26] <C-S-B> greyfox`: try ifconfig wlan0 up
[13:26] <C-S-B> greyfox`: also make sure in hardware drivers its enabled
[13:27] <InNeedOfHelp> ok, both keyboards (wired and wireless) seem to be responsive on the grub boot loader, so I press "e" and edit the second line, I add "Single" at the end and then pressed "b" to start up..... but I still get to the Xserver loginscreen, is this normal?
[13:27] <greyfox`> xhunter@xhunter-laptop:~$ ifconfig wlan0 up
[13:27] <greyfox`> wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such devic
[13:27] <C-S-B> InNeedOfHelp: single mode all you do is add a '1' on the end.
[13:27] <C-S-B> greyfox`: check the drivers enabled
[13:28] <greyfox`> how ?
[13:28] <greyfox`> am a linux newbie sorry
[13:28] <C-S-B> greyfox`: system-> administration> hardware drivers
[13:28] <C-S-B> greyfox`: no problem!
[13:28] <Flomar> my problem is with X freezing the magic keys worked great
[13:28] <C-S-B> Flomar: good, i suppose :)
[13:29] <greyfox`> C-S-B : yes, the wl is enabled
[13:29] <C-S-B> Flomar: after you press 'r' you might be able to get a terminal.
[13:29] <C-S-B> ok,disable and run 'sudo rmmod wl'
[13:29] <MOUD> There are two drivers:  185.18.31 (Recommended)   and  190.18 BETA , which one should I get?
[13:30] <ziroday> Hi, I have a HP dv2 with a ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HD) soundcard that works with headphones, but not with the speakers. Any ideas how I would fix that?
[13:30] <C-S-B> MOUD: beta is always going to be dodgy, but if you are willing to give it a try why not, id pick 185
[13:30] <indus> MOUD: well,if u want to try latest features try beta
[13:30] <HelpMePlease> hmmmm, even with the 1 at the end I'm getting the login screen
[13:30] <indus> MOUD: 190 promises a lot of things i believe
[13:30] <HelpMePlease> i feel like an idiot :)
[13:30] <indus> MOUD: can u give me that linn
[13:30] <indus> k
[13:31] <Dr_Willis> QuakeLive works good on Ubuntu :)
[13:31] <C-S-B> Dr_Willis: is that out yet?
[13:31] <MOUD> C-S-B, indus: I want to try the latest but before that I want to know if there's a way to rollback to the older driver. Is there a way?
[13:31] <C-S-B> Dr_Willis: i registered for it
[13:31] <indus> Dr_Willis: really/ is it out for linux?
[13:31] <Dr_Willis> C-S-B:  just came out today i think. it was not out yesterday i think
[13:31] <Dr_Willis> indus:  i JUST played it
[13:31] <C-S-B> indus: its a browser game
[13:31] <indus> MOUD: there is absolutely no way
[13:31] <Dr_Willis> indus:  i am Dr_Willis :)
[13:32] <Dr_Willis> indus:  well i played the tutorial/skill match at least.
[13:32] <greyfox`> xhunter@xhunter-laptop:~$ sudo rmmod wl
[13:32] <greyfox`> ERROR: Module wl does not exist in /proc/modules
[13:32] <indus> C-S-B: i know. but only for windows
[13:32] <norpan111> im using 9.10, nothing will break while uninstalling gnome eh?
[13:32] <greyfox`> C-S-B : I tryed to find the proc but nothing I could find
[13:32] <Flomar> i deinstall nvidia drivers... i`ll se if it freezes again
[13:32] <indus> is the linux version out>? i heard its coming
[13:32] <MOUD> I'll try the beta then
[13:32] <C-S-B> greyfox`: lsmod,m see if b43 is there also do 'lspci -vv' and find you gfx card, it will say what driver it's using
[13:33] <Dr_Willis> indus:  as i just said.. its out.. i am playing it...
[13:33] <C-S-B> greyfox`: you may need to reboot...
[13:33] <indus> Dr_Willis: hmm great
[13:33] <indus> Dr_Willis: butthanks i prefer quake 4
[13:33] <Dr_Willis> indus:  whatever..  :)
[13:33] <greyfox`> C-S-B : I'll reboot after findin the gfx driver
[13:33] <indus> i like pretty games
[13:33] <C-S-B> greyfox`: is the b43 module in use now?
[13:34] <InNeedOfHelp> i can't seem to get into single user mode, i feel like an idiot :)
[13:34] <Dr_Willis> indus:  you aparently miss the main point of quakelive... :)
[13:34] <MOUD> 21MB only? Damn Windows, always over 50MB and up.
[13:34] <C-S-B> InNeedOfHelp: add 1 to the boot line
[13:35] <indus> Dr_Willis: which one
[13:35] <Dr_Willis> indus:  its free in the browser.. play anywhere..
[13:35] <indus> !off-topic :)
[13:35] <indus> !OFFTOPIC
[13:36] <InNeedOfHelp> i did C-S-B, the line now reads: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-xxxxxxxxxxx root=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ro 1
[13:36] <InNeedOfHelp> is that correct?
[13:36]  * Dr_Willis wonders about people that OT theirselfs...
[13:36] <indus> yah i know
[13:36] <indus> Dr_Willis: is opera also supported?
[13:36] <C-S-B> InNeedOfHelp: you can just use the resuce option, the one below the standard option
[13:37] <greyfox`> C-S-B : xhunter@xhunter-laptop:~$ lsmod | grep b43
[13:37] <greyfox`> b43                   144420  0
[13:37] <greyfox`>  the lspci -vv : http://pastie.org/588412
[13:37] <InNeedOfHelp> tried that C-S-B..... it also takes me to the login screen
[13:37] <Bossk> I've had some problems after autoupdating my freshly installed ubuntu 9. I'm new to linux btw. Would like some help. msg me please :)
[13:37] <InNeedOfHelp> it does indeed have 1 at the end in the rescue option
[13:37] <benn> Yo. I was wondering if anyone might be able to suggest some ideas. I've got an nvidia 9500GT card which has an HDMI output. I can plug a cable from my spdif on the motherboard and sound should be played by the TV
[13:38] <benn> i'm not getting any sound and sound is fine via the onboard hdmi
[13:38] <MOUD> Dr_Willis: Hey
[13:38] <C-S-B> greyfox`: how about iwlist scan?
[13:38] <MOUD> Dr_Willis: How's quakelive?
[13:38] <Pici> !ot | MOUD Dr_Willis
[13:39] <greyfox`> C-S-B : my WIFI card is a real nightmare :/
[13:39] <MOUD> Pici: ok ok, sorry.
[13:39] <C-S-B> greyfox`: lol
[13:39] <greyfox`> xhunter@xhunter-laptop:~$ iwlist scan
[13:39] <greyfox`> lo        Interface doesn't support scanning.
[13:39] <greyfox`> eth0      Interface doesn't support scanning.
[13:39] <InNeedOfHelp> ok, i took the rescue option C-S-B, I was wrong, it does not take me to the login screen, it takes me to a recovery menu
[13:39] <fiXXXerMet> Hello everyone.  I want to install from a USB stick.  Am I correct in understanding that I should boot from the live CD (virtual machine) and use the usb-creator to create the bootable stick?
[13:40] <InNeedOfHelp> But, my keybourd is also not responsive on this rescue menu
[13:40] <Dr_Willis> MOUD:  it works. :) now to play so i can kill you.
[13:40] <user__> cungkRenx
[13:40] <InNeedOfHelp> it was working fine to give boot options, but in the recovery menu it's already screwed
[13:40] <greyfox`> C-S-B : I heart about something called broadcom ...this may be of use right ?
[13:40] <MOUD> Dr_Willis: do you have the direct link?
[13:40] <Lartza_> How do I chacge keyboard layout? I am on openbox so no gnome menus available
[13:40] <C-S-B> greyfox`: greyfox`b43 = broadcomm drivers :)
[13:41] <greyfox`> this mean my boardcom driver isn't there ?!
[13:41] <greyfox`> :/
[13:41] <indus> Dr_Willis: did u get my pm?
[13:41] <C-S-B> greyfox`: make sure you disable wl then activate b43
[13:41] <C-S-B> you may need to reboot
[13:41] <greyfox`> ok I'll do my best
[13:42] <greyfox`> to activate b43, sudo modprob b43
[13:42] <greyfox`> right ?
[13:42] <Dr_Willis> indus:  since im playing.. no :)
[13:42] <C-S-B> greyfox`: yeah, also you might need to in the hardware drivers menu.
[13:42] <indus> Dr_Willis: hmm strange
[13:42] <indus> Dr_Willis: nvm
[13:43] <greyfox`> ok I reboot now
[13:43] <greyfox`> brb
[13:43] <MOUD> !!! QuakeLive is giving me Incompatible Browser...
[13:44] <Bossk> What is wrong with my ubuntu notebook remix when I can't see the main menu or accsess anything. Only thing I can do is create new folders on the empty desktop. Worked fine all yesterday and then I updated the system, kept using it for a few hours and then shutting down. When I started up again to day it was like I just discribed. I'm really puzzled here guys.. :S
[13:45] <C-S-B> Bossk: i dont get what you mean, can you elabourate a bit more...
[13:45] <fiXXXerMet> I am going to use usb-creator from a livecd to make a usb bootable device.  How can I change the sources.list file that gets copied to the usb stick so that it points to my local mirror?
[13:45] <aaron424> I can't enable desktop effects. I have the proper hardware drivers and have restarted the computer, but still get the same error, desktop effects could not be enabled
[13:46] <trothigar> aaron424, what graphics card do you have?
[13:46] <MOUD> Dr_Willis: which browser do you use?
[13:47] <herenbdy> heya, Ubuntu is telling me my HDD hass signs of iminent disk failure: http://i25.tinypic.com/2myzp1v.png
[13:47] <herenbdy> this HDD is only... 4 days old? but when I'm on Windows, the SMART test results are A-Ok
[13:47] <erUSUL> MOUD: use user agent switcher firefox extension
[13:47] <Dr_Willis> MOUD:  firefox
[13:47] <aaron424> trothigar: evga geforce 9500 gt
[13:47] <Dr_Willis> firefox 3 here actually
[13:47] <Dr_Willis> not the 3.5
[13:48] <MOUD> Dr_Willis: ah, that explains, but I removed FF 3.
[13:48] <C-S-B> Dr_Willis: both should work though, unless it checks what the browser string is, which you can change anyway...
[13:48] <MOUD> erUSUL: I'll give a try
[13:48] <Dr_Willis> MOUD:  now ya know why i always suggest not removing FF3
[13:48] <indus> herenbdy: hi
[13:48] <trothigar> aaron424, what does glxinfo | grep server glx give you?
[13:48] <herenbdy> indus: hi
[13:48] <indus> herenbdy: does status report say ok
[13:48] <Bossk> C-S-B: I installed ubuntu notebook remix 9.04 on a clean laptop yesterday. Kept using the machine all day for work. Typing and surfing the web. Ubuntu updated it self during this time. At the end of the day I shut of the computer. When I started it up today I got to the log in screen, logged in and found an empty desktop. Nothing on the desktop and no menues on the top or anywhere
[13:48] <Bossk> else for that matter
[13:49] <trothigar> aaron424, ir even  glxinfo | grep "server glx"
[13:49] <aaron424> trothigar: how do I do this? terminal?
[13:49] <C-S-B> Bossk: soiund like some of your applets arent running
[13:49] <trothigar> aaron424, yes
[13:49] <herenbdy> indus: it says Last Test: Completed Ok, even though ther are some extremely huge values in the SMART test
[13:49] <Bossk> C-S-B: That's what I figured to
[13:49] <indus> herenbdy: forget those, its all nonsense
[13:49] <Bossk> but how do I start them?
[13:49] <herenbdy> indus: and ubuntu tells me my HDD is about to fail everytime I log in
[13:50] <MOUD> Dr_Willis: yeah. I just sudo(ed) and installed it back.
[13:50] <jiohdi> anyone know if KDE is easier on the CPU than gnome?
[13:50] <indus> herenbdy: are u susing karmic ?
[13:50] <C-S-B> Bossk: im not sure what they are all called but there's nm-applet and maximus etc....
[13:50] <herenbdy> indus: yes
[13:50] <trothigar> jiohdi, kde 3.5 is a bit i think
[13:50] <Bossk> Tried gnome-panel --display 0 in the terminal but nothing happened.
[13:50] <indus> herenbdy: yes thats a bug ignore it
[13:50] <indus> herenbdy: i have it too
[13:50] <herenbdy> indus: oh, phew
[13:50] <jiohdi> trothigar, is that the latest?
[13:50] <aaron424> trothigar: http://pastebin.com/m23dd3d81
[13:50] <herenbdy> indus: can I at elast get rid of the notification in my panel?
[13:50] <indus> herenbdy: why are u using karmic? its in alpha
[13:50] <MOUD> herenbdy: which program you used to check the HD?
[13:51] <Bossk> C-S-B: So I have to find the names of all the applets and then start them manually from the terminal?
[13:51] <trothigar> jiohdi, no kde 4 was released a year and a half ago
[13:51] <C-S-B> Bossk: or you could try the desktop switcher, that might load them
[13:51] <trothigar> jiohdi, i think gutsy was the last to ship with kde 3.5 by default
[13:51] <indus> herenbdy: hmm well go to system>preferences>sessions adn turn off smart notifier
[13:51] <herenbdy> indus: for fun.. and it comes with newer versions of everything I use
[13:51] <C-S-B> Bossk: other than those two ideas, youre out of luck from me...
[13:51] <C-S-B> Bossk: sorry
[13:51] <Bossk> C-S-B: How do I switch desktops?
[13:52] <indus> herenbdy: this is channel for 9.04 or release versions only
[13:52] <Bossk> It was worth a try :)
[13:52] <Bossk> any hotkeys for switching desktops?
[13:52] <Pici> Bossk: ctrl-alt left/right arrow
[13:52] <marcelo_> hi, I do not know all options to run on make, and my question is if I have more than one core in my processor, in my case a quad core, compiling with make -j 4, would make an executable use four jobs(possibly four cores)?
[13:52] <C-S-B> Bossk:  system ->preferences -> switch desktop mode
[13:52] <MOUD> brb ppl.
[13:53] <herenbdy> marcelo_: yes
[13:53] <C-S-B> Bossk: or desktop-switcher from terminal
[13:53] <aaron424> trothigar, any idas?
[13:53] <herenbdy> indus: ok, thanks
[13:53] <Bossk> C-S-B: When the top menu where I can accsess things like system etc is'nt there. That's the problem:P And ctrl-alt-left/right did nothing
[13:53] <Bossk> when=well
[13:54] <indus> herenbdy: any other questions? :)
[13:54] <C-S-B> Bossk: it wont and i didnt tell you to do that ;) UNR doesnt have multiple workspaces
[13:54] <Pici> herenbdy: Karmic support/discussion is in #ubuntu+1
[13:54] <Bossk> so no luch there then. hehe
[13:54] <trothigar> aaron424, what does compiz-manager give you?
[13:54] <Dr_Willis> First thign i did on the UNR - was install teh normal gnome desktop. :)
[13:54] <C-S-B> press alt-f2 the enter desktop-switcher
[13:54] <C-S-B> Bossk: ^
[13:55] <Bossk> aight
[13:55] <Lartza_> Does setxkbmap only last until reboot?
[13:55] <Dr_Willis> Lartza_:  if you just did it from the cli. yes...
[13:55] <Bossk> C-S-B: Nothing happens when I press ALT-F2 either. :S
[13:55] <Ileden> Suspend has stopped working on my laptop - it did work in the beginning with clean install, but now all I get is a blinking cursor at the top left corner. I'm using Ubuntu Netbook Remix, and haven't installed any extra drivers. Any idea on how to troubleshoot the issue? How can I get suspend back working again?
[13:55] <Bossk> Maybe just reinstall Ubuntu?
[13:55] <Lartza_> Dr_Willis: Terminal, can I make it permanent without running it on boot?
[13:55] <aaron424> trothigar, http://pastebin.com/m519dff6
[13:56] <Ileden> Oh yeah, the laptop is an Acer Aspire One.
[13:56] <qnix> Hi, Does anyone use OpenVz with Ubuntu Hardy? I would like to get the openvz kernel >=028stab060.2....
[13:56] <Lartza_> Dr_Willis: I haven't yet found how to change my keyboard layout
[13:56] <Dr_Willis> Lartza_:  proberly can have a setting somewhere that it uses.. No idea what it does.. or run it from rc.local or your X startup stuff.. Ive no clue what the command does.
[13:56] <Dr_Willis> !layout
[13:56] <Dr_Willis> Lartza_:  gnome has its own settings to change thekeyboard layout i thought
[13:56] <Lartza_> I am on openbox :)
[13:57] <Lartza_> I'll check the xfce way
[13:57] <Bossk> C-S-B: Ran desktop-switcher in the terminal now. "Failed"
[13:57] <Bossk> :/
[13:57] <Dr_Willis> Lartza_:  then you check the openbox docs and figure out  how it 'autostarts' things
[13:57] <hbekel> Lartza_: then add it to xinitrc (if you use one) or openbox's autostart.sh
[13:57] <C-S-B> Bossk: ouch
[13:57] <Lartza_> Yes but how... *sigh*
[13:57] <trothigar> aaron424, and "cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[13:57] <Lartza_> It is somehow set to default somewhere I am sure
[13:57] <trothigar> aaron424, without the quotes
[13:57] <hbekel> Lartza_: http://icculus.org/openbox/index.php/Help:Contents
[13:57] <Bossk> C-S-B: Seems it's still working on something.. Let's se what happens.
[13:57] <Bossk> hehe
[13:58] <KD8FYT> howdy all
[13:58] <Lartza_> WEll I can add it to xorg.conf

[13:58] <KD8FYT> Since updatint the kernel 2 days ago with the latest released update, any movie player I try to open just crashes right away. its almost like working on a mac
[13:58] <Lartza_> hbekel: What about that? I know how to autostart in openbox
[13:58] <hbekel> Lartza_: of course you can. i assumed you want to use that command for some specific reason
[13:59] <hbekel> Lartza_: it's all in the fine wiki i linked you to
[13:59] <C-S-B> Bossk: why? lol
[13:59] <Dr_Willis> 12+ ways to do the same thing i linux. :)
[13:59] <Lartza_> I asked can I somehow set my default keyboardlayout or do I have to run setxkbmap on every boot
[13:59] <Lartza_> BUt where does ubuntu read my kb layout now since my xorg.conf is REALLY simple o.O
[13:59] <hbekel> Lartza_: xorg.conf
[13:59] <Bossk> C-S-B: Dunno.. I did'nt do anything.. Thought that was a reaction to the desktop-switch command.. :S
[13:59] <hbekel> Lartza_: man xorg.conf
[14:00] <aaron424> trothigar, http://pastebin.com/m3b0edf58
[14:00] <Lartza_> Configured Monitor etc.
[14:00] <C-S-B> Bossk: oh well, hows it looking?
[14:00] <Bossk> C-S-B: Now its reloading system log daemon
[14:00] <Bossk> the laptop is still working..
[14:00] <trothigar> aaron424, you are running jaunty right?
[14:00] <Bossk> It takes forever :P
[14:00] <aaron424> yes, Jaunty 64 bit fully updated
[14:00] <C-S-B> Bossk: no fire or smoke? shouldnt take that long...
[14:01] <raven_> hello - which tool supports sorting a mountain of mp3files automatically by tagging everything automatically from the cddb? tnx...
[14:01] <Bossk> C-S-B: hehe.. No fire or smoke.. yet ;)
[14:01] <fiXXXerMet> If I have downloaded karmic alpha 3, can I just do a dist-upgrade to upgrade to alpha 4?
[14:01] <Dr_Willis> Lartza_:  hal  Most likely.
[14:01] <bazhang> fiXXXerMet, #ubuntu+1 for karmic support/discussion
[14:01] <Dr_Willis> fiXXXerMet:  thats how upgrades work.  see #ubuntu+1
[14:01] <sebsebseb> fiXXXerMet: probaby will be ok and  #ubuntu+1 for Karmic
[14:01] <NewfierRich> hey all, just wondering if there is a program that could be used to turn my computer into a dvd player.. I mean to play video through my s-video port
[14:01] <fiXXXerMet> thanks
[14:02] <Lartza_> Dr_Willis: As in detect what kind keyboard I have?
[14:03] <Dr_Willis> Lartza_:  no idea how it does it. I only have usa keyboards..  HAL does most all the auto detection now  for X i think.
[14:03] <indus> fiXXXerMet: just upgrade will beenough
[14:03] <trothigar> aaron424, type gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager false
[14:03] <trothigar> aaron424, then try running compiz-manager again
[14:03] <xray7224> hal ftw =]
[14:04] <sebsebseb> xray7224: Hal is being deprecated
[14:04] <Lartza_> Dr_Willis: Well I have finnish keyboard so HAL shouldn't detect it as us :S I'll just write it to xorg.conf it is finnish
[14:04] <xray7224> i know -_-
[14:04] <trothigar> xray7224, hal is being dprecated
[14:04] <indus> Dr_Willis: hal is being deprecated in karmic
[14:04] <xray7224> I KNOW !
[14:04] <Silver_Fox_> Hello
[14:04] <C-S-B> hi
[14:04] <sebsebseb> Silver_Fox_: Hello
[14:04] <trothigar> Silver_Fox_, hi
[14:05] <Dr_Willis> Lartza_:  no idea on any of that.    its all voo-doo-magic
[14:05] <gartral> I have two problems, 1) the Faces-capable login screens don't display any faces or names, and 2 after loging in, my local.rc file seems too not be exacuted
[14:05] <gartral> executed*
[14:05] <Dr_Willis> gartral:  you mean /etc/rc.local ?
[14:05] <Silver_Fox_> Ah,  I thought it was working.  Just trying out a new client.   Nobody was responding in the channels I am normally in.
[14:05] <Lartza_> Dr_Willis: I read HAL does most of the that so you are right but xorg.conf can still be used
[14:05] <Lartza_> Automagic :)
[14:05] <Silver_Fox_> Thank you everyone.
[14:05] <indus> Silver_Fox_: which client
[14:06] <InNeedOfHelp> OK guys, I'm back..... After playing around with the boot options in grub I figured out I can only boot in 2 ways: normal and recovery mode. Booting in single user mode (adding "single" at the end of the line) automatically takes me to the recovery screen. But as I said, the keyboard doesn't work on that screen either, now what?
[14:06] <aaron424> trothigar, it works, but will it work every time I  boot up, or will have to run the commands again?
[14:06] <hbekel> Lartza_: depends on wether you use input hotplugging and hal or no hotplugging and xorg.conf
[14:06] <Silver_Fox_> I am sitting at a windows work station (yes ,  i know) and trying out Xchat 2
[14:06] <indus> do we have a firefox xchat plugin??
[14:06] <C-S-B> Silver_Fox_: im so sorry
[14:06] <Dr_Willis> indus:  last i checked xchat for some odd reason was missconfigured  where it couldent launch  the browser from the url's  Not sure if thats been fixed or not.
[14:07] <gartral> Dr_Willis: yes, sorry
[14:07] <Dr_Willis> indus:  not sure what you mean by a 'xchat plugin' for firefox either. :)
[14:07] <indus> i mean, connect to irc from witihin firefox
[14:07] <Ileden> Suspend has stopped working on my laptop - it did work in the beginning with clean install, but now all I get is a blinking cursor at the top left corner. I'm using Acer Aspire One with Ubuntu Netbook Remix, and haven't installed any extra drivers. Because it did work at first, I assume it's restorable... Any idea on how to troubleshoot the issue? How can I get suspend back working again?
[14:07] <Dr_Willis> gartral:  /etc/rc.local is ran as the last service.. when it runs.. in Most cases GDm is  allready running.
[14:07] <madrid-2009> Madrid_2009
[14:07] <Dr_Willis> gartral:  it is used to run 'system type' commands. not USER stuff.. and it does NOT run on a per useer basis when they log in.
[14:07] <C-S-B> Dr_Willis: im using xchat and i can click links...
[14:07] <Silver_Fox_> C-S-B,  don't be.  I'm at work and had to login to use a certain application.  I shall be booting back into Ubuntu within next 20 minutes :)
[14:07] <gartral> Dr_Willis: then how do i change it so it works?
[14:07] <aaron424> trothigar, http://pastebin.com/m384d39cf
[14:08] <indus> like an add on
[14:08] <WilliamC2> Where can I find Gnome themes?
[14:08] <trothigar> aaron424, it will work, but it might be best to reboot now, because if you close the terminal window bad things may happen. It probably won't work next boot, but then you just need to enable desktop effects under system->preferences-> appearance
[14:08] <Dr_Willis> gartral:  what are you even trying to make it do - is the big question.
[14:08] <sebsebseb> madrid-2009: sebSebSeb
[14:08] <gnubie> indus;   chazilla?
[14:08] <indus> WilliamC2: gnome-look.org
[14:08] <Pici> WilliamC2: http://gnome-look.org has a large selection
[14:08] <indus> !info | chatzilla
[14:08] <indus> !info chatzilla
[14:08] <WilliamC2> Also, does ext4 need defragmenting?
[14:08] <indus> damn
[14:08] <C-S-B> Silver_Fox_: work let you roll linux? good on you
[14:08] <arquebus> indus- opera browser has an integrated IRC client which is very good
[14:08] <gartral> Dr_Willis: either way, i have too hav e it run a sudo dhclient eth0 on start up, otherwise i have too login and do it myself, but it doesnt work
[14:09] <C-S-B> WilliamC2: no, but you need to fsck
[14:09] <indus> arquebus: yes i knew, but i wondering if firefox has any
[14:09] <WilliamC2> C-S-B, that's what she said
[14:09] <Dr_Willis> gartral:  just put the  command in rc.local befor the exit() thing an theres no need to do 'sudo' in rc.local
[14:09] <gartral> !defrag | WilliamC2
[14:09] <hbekel> Lartza_: how to you start x / openbox?
[14:09] <trothigar> C-S-B, i thought i saw a ext4 defragger in the works?
[14:09] <indus> ext4 is awesome, super fast
[14:09] <Dr_Willis> gartral:  if you need gdm to run after the command. then you might want to disable gdm service. but start gdm FROM rc.local also.
[14:09] <indus> or maybe iam dreaming
[14:09] <Lartza_> hbekel: Huh? It all has set to start at boot and autologin
[14:09] <Silver_Fox_> C-S-B,  I am a database admin and web dev. I run anything I want.  Nobody cares so long as I hit my deadlines and targets.
[14:09] <C-S-B> trothigar: i didnt think it needed it
[14:09] <Lartza_> Through gdm if I remeber correct
[14:09] <nmvictor> A virtual box issue here, whenever the virtual box captures the mouse, the mous becomes invisible until the running geust OS is shutdown.what do i do about this?
[14:09] <sebsebseb> indus: yeah   rather fast boot up time,   but  in 9.04 it's a little hmm,  but  default in Karmic with the later kernel :)
[14:10] <C-S-B> Silver_Fox_: couldnt agree more.
[14:10] <Dr_Willis> gartral:  also if your command in rc.local  does not 'return' until it exits. you might want to launch it with &.
[14:10] <gnubie> indus;  search for chat in firfox addons
[14:10] <sebsebseb> indus: and people must clean install for full support, since the Ext3 to Ext4 conversion isn't good enough
[14:10] <indus> ok gnubie
[14:10] <C-S-B> Silver_Fox_: i used linux in my last work but some places are MS whore houses
[14:10] <gartral> Dr_Willis: that's how i have it setup dhclient eth0 <newline> exit()
[14:10] <Silver_Fox_> Right,  got to shoot off. Nice talking to you all.  Thanks once again.
[14:10] <trothigar> C-S-B, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4#Online_defragmentation
[14:10] <mcmlxxi> !pidgin
[14:10] <InNeedOfHelp> hbekel/C-S-B: where do I go from here guys? Stuck on the recovery menu where my keyboard no longer works
[14:10] <indus> gnubie: i try this option cos addons are like 100 kb
[14:11] <indus> gnubie: programs are so bloated
[14:11] <mcmlxxi> !info pidgin
[14:11] <Dr_Willis> gartral:  coould be the command is having some issues. you may want to make it 'sleep 10' to wait 10 secs befor the command.
[14:11] <indus> InNeedOfHelp: what is the issue dear?
[14:11] <trothigar> aaron424, you sorted then?
[14:11] <hbekel> Lartza_: echo 'setxkbdmap <your-settings>' > ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh && chmod +x ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh
[14:12] <Lartza_> ...
[14:12] <Lartza_> I am not setting autostart
[14:12] <hansj> nmvictor: there is a key combo to release mouse focus from virtualbox window, should be visible at the bottom of your virtualbox window (ctrl something)
[14:12] <Lartza_> And I have shortcut to edit autostart.sh with leafpad on openbox menu
[14:12] <trothigar> hansj, right ctrl
[14:12] <InNeedOfHelp> indus: keyboard works in grub, but nor on the loginscreen, and not on the recovery menu
[14:12] <hbekel> Lartza_: since you couldn't tell me how you start x and openbox...
[14:12] <indus> InNeedOfHelp: what keyboar is it
[14:13] <Lartza_> What file does "Software Sources" get it's "Download from:"?
[14:13] <hansj> nmvictor, as trothigar said, it's just the right ctrl key
[14:13] <hbekel> Lartza_: whatever
[14:13] <trothigar> Lartza_, do you mean /etc/apt/sources.list?
[14:13] <InNeedOfHelp> indus: and no idea where to start looking, let alone fixing :)
[14:13] <sebsebseb> C-S-B: see above  for  what I said  to  indus regarding Ext4
[14:13] <Lartza_> trothigar: Not necessarily
[14:14] <nmvictor> hansj:that doesnt get it back,trust me i know what im talking about.right-CTRL doent help.
[14:14] <hansj> nmvictor, ok. works for me with newest version
[14:14] <indus> InNeedOfHelp: here is a simple option, when system logs in, disconect keyboard and then reconnect again
[14:15] <C-S-B> sebsebseb: about freshing installing it instead of upgrading from ext3?
[14:15] <indus> InNeedOfHelp: also. is this a usb keyboard??
[14:15] <InNeedOfHelp> yes usb
[14:15] <sebsebseb> C-S-B: yeah and maybe WilliamC2  should see htis to
[14:15] <indus> C-S-B: u cannot upgrade from ext3 to ext4
[14:15] <raven_> hello - which tool supports sorting a mountain of mp3files automatically by tagging everything automatically from the cddb? tnx...
[14:15] <indus> C-S-B: you can butit s risky
[14:15] <C-S-B> indus: you can, but only the new files will benefit
[14:15] <nmvictor> hansj:installed the newest version yesterday.The problem was also their in the previous version
[14:15] <sebsebseb> C-S-B: the Ext3  to  Ext4 conversion isn't good enough, for full Ext4 you "must" clean install
[14:15] <InNeedOfHelp> indus: yes usb, what do you mean by when system logs in? at the startup screen?
[14:16] <C-S-B> sebsebseb: i know, and i did :)
[14:16] <indus> InNeedOfHelp: yah when x starts or display starts
[14:16] <aaron424> trothigar, thanks so much
[14:16] <C-S-B> sebsebseb: but upgrading is an option...
[14:16] <indus> C-S-B: so whats the problem
[14:16] <indus> C-S-B: ubuntu will not support upgrade to ext4 from ext3 for karmic
[14:16] <C-S-B> indus: i never said there was
[14:17] <indus> C-S-B: ok then
[14:17] <metbsd> o(╯□╰)o
[14:17] <C-S-B> indus: lol
[14:17] <indus> C-S-B: :)
[14:17] <Pici> metbsd: Do you have a question?
[14:17] <Dr_Willis> The Problem is theres no problem!
[14:17] <sebsebseb> indus: what???
[14:17] <Dr_Willis> Its too Perfect!
[14:17] <indus> sebsebseb: what do u mean what
[14:18] <InNeedOfHelp> indus: i'm afraid the unplug/plug thing didn't have much effect :) or rather :(
[14:18] <indus> InNeedOfHelp: ok tell me the make of the keyboard
[14:18] <sebsebseb> indus: well  Karmic isn't out yet, but surely when it is,   people can  upgrade  from 9.04 and do the Ext3 to Ext4 conversion?   of course as I already said  better to clean install, so they get the real proper thing
[14:18] <indus> sebsebseb: no they cant
[14:18] <metbsd> Pici, do you have questions or answers?
[14:18] <sebsebseb> indus: well Ext3 can be converted to Ext4  for 9.04
[14:18] <indus> sebsebseb: its only offered for people will already ext4
[14:18] <C-S-B> ouch on the karmic  issue
[14:18] <Pici> metbsd: Not at the moment.
[14:19] <trothigar> indus, sebsebseb is right
[14:19] <indus> sebsebseb: aah i know that but iam talking about the upgrade
[14:19] <InNeedOfHelp> indus: right now i'm just using a standard usb keyboard from sun that came with the machine..... but eventually i'd like to get my logitech wireless desktop working
[14:19] <jedc> indus, karmic will still let you choose the filesystem format though right? so you could still use ext3 in karmic?
[14:19] <JarlG> Hello! I have a ATi X1600 Mobility as well as Ubuntu 9.04 running. I'm experiencing problems as to how I could install, and run the ATi Catalyst Control Center, so that I can configure my card better. Is there a working driver for this card, and OS? Thanks!
[14:19] <indus> jedc: of course
[14:19] <Pici> Guys, do you mind moving the Karmic discussion to #ubuntu+1, this isn't really on-topic for #ubuntu.
[14:19] <sebsebseb> jedc: of course Ext3 can be used in Karmic, but better off using Ext4 :)
[14:19] <trothigar> JarlG, yes there is a working driver, several in fact
[14:20] <sebsebseb> Pici: true, but these kind of  discussions will be  on topic, when it's released :)
[14:20] <jedc> sebsebseb, yea, well im using ext4 in jaunty so not a problem for me :p
[14:20] <trothigar> JarlG, what problems?
[14:20] <metbsd> better off use reiserfs
[14:20] <Pici> sebsebseb: But its *not* releasesd.
[14:20] <JarlG> trothigar, artifacts.
[14:20] <metbsd> what happened to reisersf anyway
[14:20] <indus> sebsebseb: ok correction,
[14:20] <sebsebseb> Pici: yep not yet, so off topic  at the moment
[14:20] <trothigar> JarlG, is this when running of the cd?
[14:20] <JarlG> trothigar, is there a terminal-command I could run?
[14:20] <InNeedOfHelp> indus: in case you missed the beginning of my conversation with some of the others on here: both keyboards and both mouses work fine when starting the live cd, and all 4 also worked in previous versions of ubuntu. No idea why none of them are responsive on my new jaunty installation
[14:20] <indus> sebsebseb C-S-B performance is only on newer filesystems
[14:20] <Syka> Pici: Well, it's released enough for me. My VM likes it quite nice C:
[14:21] <trothigar> JarlG, is this when running off the cd?
[14:21] <JarlG> trothigar, What do you mean? I do not have the drivers on a CD.
[14:21] <trothigar> JarlG, have you installed ubuntu?
[14:21] <metbsd> which fs is most stable and nicest,ext2, reiserfs, or
[14:21] <Pici> Syka: Its still offtopic for this channel. Karmic discussion belongs in #ubuntu+1
[14:21] <JarlG> trothigar, yes.
[14:21] <C-S-B> indus: sebsebseb i just wanter bttrfs
[14:21] <sebsebseb> indus  C-S-B   Syka  and anyone else, shall we take it to #ubuntu+1 ?
[14:21] <JarlG> trothigar, Do you mean the Live CD?
[14:21] <WilliamC2> Where do the themes go?
[14:21] <trothigar> JarlG, yes
[14:21] <indus> InNeedOfHelp: so does the 9.04 live cd also work for keyboard?
[14:22] <Syka> sebsebseb: yeh
[14:22] <InNeedOfHelp> indus: yes it does
[14:22] <Lartza_> Is "jaunty-security main restricted universe multiverse" really usable after the mirror adress for all security updates?
[14:22] <indus> InNeedOfHelp: but doesnt work on isntall
[14:22] <Pici> WilliamC2: If you are using Gnome, you can just drag the theme's tar.gz file into the window found in System>Preferences>Appearance
[14:22] <indus> InNeedOfHelp: did u try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg adn mess with keyboard settings there, set auto detect keyboard to no
[14:22] <InNeedOfHelp> indus: exactly doesn't work on install, even in the installer it didn't work either, had to boot into the live cd and install from the desktop
[14:22] <JarlG> trothigar, if I perform "sudo aptitude install xorg-driver-fglrx", and reboot, I cannot log in because of artifacts.
[14:22] <sebsebseb> indus: I am not done quite yet, join #ubuntu+1 :)
[14:22] <trothigar> JarlG, After you install you can then enable the restricted drivers for your ati card and voila no more artefacts. I had this prolem with a X1300 mobility
[14:23] <indus> sebsebseb: aah no iam tired :) some other day
[14:23] <JarlG> trothigar, is this after a reboot, or before?
[14:23] <trothigar> JarlG, after you install ubuntu
[14:23] <InNeedOfHelp> indus, no i did not try the dpkg reconfigure thing as i can't even get to a prompt with my keyboard working
[14:24] <indus> InNeedOfHelp: hmm true i understand
[14:24] <JarlG> trothigar, if I enter "Hardware Drivers", there are no entries for ATi. What do you mean?
[14:24] <indus> InNeedOfHelp: ok at which stage does keyboard stop working, works when ubuntu is bootin?
[14:24] <JarlG> trothigar, Ubuntu IS installed. I am running ubuntu.
[14:24] <felixsulla> Using Jungledisk, get this error: Detailed Message: fuse_mount(/home/username/jungledisk) failed: fuse: mountpoint is not empty
[14:24] <trothigar> JarlG, oh ok
[14:24] <felixsulla> How do I display or "clear" mounted volumes?
[14:24] <mew> hello, i need some help. how can i mount an img which is not .iso . I have installed gmountiso, gisomount, but they all work for isos. My image file is .bin . Need some help...
[14:25] <InNeedOfHelp> indus: it works on the grub menu, i can enter boot options, but after that i've not seen it working (apart from booting via the live cd)
[14:25] <JarlG> trothigar, would you know a command that would install a working driver?
[14:25] <trothigar> JarlG, have you run sudo ati-config --initial?
[14:25] <C-S-B> mew you need to convert the bin to an iso
[14:25] <WilliamC2> Thanks Pici
[14:25] <MOUD> Dr_Willis: Can you give me the direct link to download QuakeLive for ubuntu please?
[14:25] <JarlG> trothigar, let me try - what does it do?
[14:25] <TDJACS> Does https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro5-1_5-2/Jaunty mean I can only use one core of the CPU?
[14:25] <mew> isn't there any app which can mount my .bin for gnome?
[14:25] <trothigar> JarlG, configures Xorg to use fglrx
[14:25] <indus> InNeedOfHelp: can u press ctl-alt-f1 afterit starts booting ,then try dpkg-reconfigure
[14:25] <arand> MOUD: Does the homepage not work?
[14:26] <felixsulla> How do you display mounted volumes?
[14:26] <JarlG> trothigar, is this after I've done "sudo aptitude install corg-driver-fglrx" ?
[14:26] <mew> C-S-B, ok how can i convert .bin to .iso ?
[14:26] <trothigar> JarlG, yes
[14:26] <legend2440> InNeedOfHelp: is this a laptop?
[14:26] <MOUD> arand: It tells me that my browser is incompatible -.-
[14:26] <JarlG> trothigar, I'll try. :)
[14:26] <llutz> felixsulla:  "mount"
[14:26] <trothigar> JarlG, maybe its aticonfig without the hyphen
[14:26] <C-S-B> mew: get bchunk, make your life easy )
[14:26] <InNeedOfHelp> indus, ctrl-alt-f1 on the boot screen does not work, does it also work while booting? I did not know that, i'll give it a shot
[14:26] <C-S-B> mew:  then mount -o loop
[14:26] <arand> MOUD: and what browser are you using?
[14:26] <trothigar> felixsulla, don't they show up under places and on the desktop?
[14:27]  * thomthom is away: I'm busy

[14:27] <InNeedOfHelp> indus: i know what booting is, I think so at least :)
[14:28] <mew> how can i use bchunk
[14:28] <arand> MOUD: then try a user agent switcher to identify it as firefox rather than shiretoko?

[14:28] <trothigar> JarlG, you'll need to reboot, and you might need to install CCC, but yes in principle
[14:28] <indus> InNeedOfHelp: bye
[14:29] <familia> hola
[14:29] <JarlG> trothigar, the command "sudo ati-config --initial" is not found after I've installed "xorg-driver-fglrx"
[14:29] <familia> asdasdasd
[14:29] <IdleOne> Pici, can you tell me what the latest kernel release is for jaunty?
[14:29] <arand> MOUD: I think the only line to change is shiretoko -> firefox , if you edit the default string
[14:29] <InNeedOfHelp> indus: i'm not going yet mate, i'm trying your suggestion... back in a sec
[14:29] <majnoon> how do i reset gnome so i can use it ??

[14:30] <C-S-B> mew: yeah, that should work
[14:30] <IdleOne> Pici, thank you
[14:30] <JarlG> trothigar, "No supported adapters selected" is what the command returns.
[14:30] <mew> well it doesn't
[14:30] <majnoon> i can use gnome programs ,but not the window manager
[14:30] <InNeedOfHelp> indus: or are you logging off?

[14:34] <mew> i used bchunk -v image.bin image.cue
[14:34] <mew> and it didn't work
[14:34] <Pici> DogOfWar: The kernel's package name is 'linux', so the bug page is: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux
[14:34] <mew> it posted me bchunks help
[14:34] <C-S-B> mew give an output filname...
[14:34] <Flomar> Hey guys do you have seen issues with the nvidia restricted drivers in ubuntu 9.0.4 that freezes X?
[14:34] <Flomar> I and other workmate are having trouble with this
[14:34] <JarlG> trothigar, what do you mean "results day tomorrow"? :-/
[14:34] <Flomar> I solved my problem using the default drivers
[14:35] <Flomar> He is trying all the tree restricted drivers but all freezes X after a while
[14:35] <majnoon> going to see something
[14:35] <Flomar> is a way to troubleshoot this?
[14:35] <nmvictor> how do i upgrade mouse drivers?
[14:36] <Boohbah> nmvictor: why would you want to do such a thing?
[14:36] <C-S-B> i wonder if greyfox fixed his wifi...
[14:36] <felixsulla> How do you "clear" a mountpoint?
[14:37] <a94060> if i am installing ubuntu on a netbook,would you reccomend ext3 or 4?
[14:37] <Pici> felixsulla: What do you mean by 'clear'?
[14:37] <erUSUL> felixsulla: define "clear"
[14:37] <Dextorion> felixsulla, umount
[14:37] <WilliamC2> Pici, it's giving me issues still
[14:37] <mew> bchunk -v VTC\ Ubuntu\ Certification.bin VTC\ Ubuntu\ Certification.cue VTC\ Ubuntu\ Certification
[14:37] <felixsulla> mount
[14:37] <olvap> i have a problem i change the profile file and now i cannot run ls scritps, for example
[14:38] <a94060> if i am installing ubuntu on a netbook,would you reccomend ext3 or 4?
[14:38] <Dextorion> yeah, if that's what you mean with clear..
[14:38] <mew> Could not open CUE VTC Ubuntu Certification.cue: No such file or directory
[14:38] <C-S-B> a94060: ext4
[14:38] <a94060> thanks C-S-B
[14:38] <mew> C-S-B,
[14:38] <mew> ...
[14:38] <C-S-B> mew: you have no cue file?
[14:38] <a94060> does it offer a very significant improvment over ext3?
[14:38] <mew> no
[14:38] <sudaya> hi everybody
[14:39] <sudaya> how can i check version of ubuntu
[14:39] <icarus> my logitech wireless mouse is allways lagging what can i go to fix this?
[14:39] <Pici> sudaya: lsb_release -a in a terminal
[14:39] <sudaya> tks Pici
[14:39] <C-S-B> mew: maybe create a cue?
[14:39] <Boohbah> icarus: which model logitech?
[14:40] <MOUD> arand: I added Firefox to the User Agent, it seems to be working. tks
[14:40] <Syka> icarus: Replace the batteries
[14:40] <mew> how can i create a .cue :)
[14:40] <Syka> icarus: My flat wireless made my entire system randomly lock up
[14:40] <nmvictor> Boohbah: i have issues with mouse gesture in virtualbo and no one seem help or maybe the issue is not virtual box so i thought mouse drive upgrade might help.
[14:40] <Boohbah> mew: with a text editor
[14:40] <mew> can i use touch name.cue ?
[14:41] <icarus> Syka, i did
[14:41] <petllama> to create the file, yes. but it needs data in it
[14:41] <Boohbah> mew: sure, that will create an empty file
[14:41] <petllama> @mew
[14:41] <icarus> syka what is flat wireless?
[14:41] <Boohbah> mew: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cue_sheet_(computing)#Cue_sheet_syntax
[14:41] <nmvictor> anyone know how i would upgrade to the latest kernel from the terminal?
[14:42] <Syka> icarus: Flat wireless mouse
[14:42] <ruben23> hi how do i setup samba sharing with my ubuntu jaunty and windows workgroup..
[14:42] <jedc> nmvictor, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[14:42] <Pici> nmvictor: That will not fix your virtualbox issue.
[14:42] <C-S-B> nmvictor: sudo apt-get install linux-image...
[14:42] <icarus> Syka, the old ibm ones?
[14:42] <Boohbah> jedc: he said kernel, not distribution
[14:42] <Syka> icarus: No, the batteries were flat
[14:42] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[14:42] <edu> hello
[14:42] <Boohbah> !hi | ActionParsnip
[14:42] <Pici> Boohbah: Thats the proper command, dist-upgrade does not upgrade to a new Ubuntu release.
[14:42] <jedc> Boohbah, yes
[14:43] <trothigar> !Xorg
[14:43] <edu> somebody from brazil?
[14:43] <trothigar> !info | Xorg
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> !br |edu
[14:43] <trothigar> !info Xorg
[14:43] <Pici> !msgthebot | trothigar
[14:43] <Boohbah> Pici: i see
[14:43] <ruben23> hi how do i setup samba sharing with my ubuntu jaunty and windows workgroup..
[14:43] <edu> obrigado
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> ruben23: sudo apt-get install samba
[14:43] <mew> i have to edit that cue file ?
[14:43] <WilliamC2> What type of themes does Gnome use>'
[14:43] <sudaya> where can i get libavcodec-unstripped-52
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> !samba | ruben23
[14:43] <nmvictor> Pici: so what do i do about the virtual box issue?thanks C-S-B and jedc
[14:43] <Pici> Boohbah: It instructs apt to pull in packages that depend on new packages that are not yet installed.
[14:44] <Pici> nmvictor: Have you asked in #vbox ?
[14:44] <C-S-B> mew: yes try googling
[14:44] <Dr_Willis> WilliamC2:  gnome themes.  which come in 'parts' for the window decoration, the widgets, the icons, and .. somthing else.. i forget..
[14:44] <icarus> sorry  I was unfamiliar with the use of the word flat in reference to batties
[14:44] <a94060> can anyone refer me to a channel devoted to linux on eeepc or eeepc?
[14:44] <ActionParsnip> C-S-B: you can say that to any question anyone asks in here
[14:44] <sudaya> Pici: where can i get libavcodec-unstripped-52
[14:44] <MOUD> How do I monitor what is being sent and downloaded from the internet?
[14:44] <ActionParsnip> !info libavcodec-unstripped-52
[14:44] <MikeSeth> MOUD: tcpdump will do
[14:44] <llutz> MOUD:  tcpdump
[14:45] <ActionParsnip> sudaya: sudo apt-get install libavcodec-unstripped-52
[14:45] <nmvictor> no one responds over their.that channel sucks completely, don't know what the 219 members are doing over their
[14:45] <nmvictor> Pici: no one responds over their.that channel sucks completely, don't know what the 219 members are doing over their
[14:45] <MOUD> MikeSeth, llutz, thanks
[14:45] <ActionParsnip> sudaya: make sure you have multiverse repos enabled
[14:45] <icarus> but my question still remains it just locks up at random
[14:45] <C-S-B> ActionParsnip: i know, but i dont think it was particually on topic
[14:45] <WilliamC2> Dr_Willis, I have a strong feeling that I'm downloading the wrong themes
[14:45] <Pici> nmvictor: Not every channel is as busy as this one is, you need to be patient and not come here and try to upgrade random things hoping that it will fix it.
[14:45] <linduxed1> is there a way to disable the trackpoint mouse but not the touchpad (if there's not such an option in BIOS)?
[14:45] <ActionParsnip> icarus: if you can ssh to the system you can read dmesg
[14:45] <C-S-B> ActionParsnip: generating a cue file can be labourious
[14:46] <ActionParsnip> C-S-B: if its a single bin file its a snap
[14:46] <ruben23> ActionParsnip: yeah already installed it but still i was not able to browse the windows workgroup
[14:46] <ActionParsnip> ruben23: you already have smbclient nstalled
[14:46] <sudaya> ActionParsnip: there is only list for libavcodec-unstripped-51
[14:46] <nmvictor> Pici: if you wanna help you better do that,please.
[14:46] <bluboy> hi all
[14:46] <C-S-B> ActionParsnip: true, but off the top of my head im not sure what he needed, nor was it ubuntu related
[14:46] <ActionParsnip> ruben23: in nautilus' address bar type:  smb://<servernamehere>/<sharenamehere>
[14:47] <icarus> ActionParsnip, sorry complyetly new to ubuntu (or linux in that matter) is that like a error message?
[14:47] <Pici> !attitude | nmvictor
[14:47] <MOUD> how can I use it to check Firefox?
[14:47] <ActionParsnip> sudaya: are you using jaunty?
[14:48] <Pici> nmvictor: You may also want to repeat your original questing regarding virtualbox here as well.
[14:48] <bluboy> Where can I find drivers for telindus nd220b modem??
[14:48] <sudaya> ActionParsnip: yep
[14:48] <Boohbah> MOUD: you may want wireshark instead, it's a gui frontend to tcpdump. then you can see firefox traffic by filtering for http
[14:48] <ActionParsnip> ruben23: samba is used so that *nix boxes can share folders and printers with windows
[14:48] <linduxed1> is there a way to disable the trackpoint mouse but not the touchpad (if there's not such an option in BIOS)?
[14:48] <C-S-B> greyfox`: yeah, also you might need to in the hardware drivers menu.
[14:48] <C-S-B> ooops
[14:49] <ActionParsnip> sudaya: well ubottu says its in the multiverse repo. do you have that enabled in synaptic?
[14:49] <nmvictor> Pici: A virtual box issue here, whenever the virtual box captures the mouse, the mous becomes invisible until the running geust OS is shutdown.what do i do about this?please note that right-CTRL trick doesn't help.
[14:49] <MOUD> Boohbah: I see. thanks
[14:49] <sudaya> ActionParsnip: no idea
[14:49] <ActionParsnip> sudaya: gksudo synaptic
[14:49] <sudaya> ActionParsnip: ok
[14:49] <ruben23> ActionParsnip: actually on my ubnutu desktop i can see the windows workgroup but when i click i get mount error--cannot mount..
[14:49] <ActionParsnip> sudaya: click the sources tab and make sure multiverse repos are enabled
[14:49] <Pici> nmvictor: Don't ask me, ask the channel.  I have a meeting I need to attend right now.
[14:50] <Boohbah> MOUD: also note that both tcpdump and wireshark need to be run as root in order to set your network interface to promiscuous mode and capture packets
[14:50] <ActionParsnip> ruben23: i'm not sure about mounting in gui. i always do it at cli
[14:50] <nmvictor> what kernel version does 9.04 come with?im on 8.10.
[14:50] <ActionParsnip> ruben23: if you type the server and share name intothe address bar, does the share appear ok?
[14:50] <MOUD> Boohbah: thanks for the info :)
[14:51] <ruben23> ill try now
[14:51] <ruben23> let you know what happen
[14:51] <ActionParsnip> ruben23: after adding the repo you will need to run: sudo apt-get update
[14:51] <Boohbah> MOUD: welcome, good luck
[14:51] <MOUD> Boohbah: thanks
[14:51] <ruben23> on the smb.conf should i change the workgroup--->into my windows workgroup name
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> ruben23: you can, its none essential but may help
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> ruben23: you will need gksudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf to edit it
[14:52] <MOUD> Anyone knows where files that are being downloaded from firefox goes?
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> ruben23: then you will need to run: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
[14:52] <bazhang> nmvictor, you did install the guest additions, correct?
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> MOUD: by default, ~/Desktop
[14:53] <ActionParsnip> MOUD: its retarded but thats where they go, you can change it in the options so that you are asked where you want it to go
[14:53] <Syka> ActionParsnip: Its because then the user can find it instantly
[14:54] <MOUD> ActionParsnip: That's what I though, maybe the extension is downloading it somewhere else.
[14:54] <nmvictor> bazhang: no,can you please walk me through that?
[14:54] <ActionParsnip> Syka: ubuntu by default has a ~/Downloads folder
[14:54] <ActionParsnip> Syka: or maybe thats my script
[14:54] <Syka> ActionParsnip: FF does it on Vista too, which also has a downloads folder. It's a user-friendly thing, they did a test on it.
[14:55] <Syka> ActionParsnip: They found out that regular users forget about downloads in the downloads folder, look for it for 2 seconds, and then leave it and forget it
[14:55] <Syka> ActionParsnip: Stupid, I know
[14:55] <ActionParsnip> Syka: yeah but ive been in here loads andyou get users trying to acces stuff on the desktop in terminal and it takes a while to tell them how to navigate using the cd command
[14:55] <bazhang> nmvictor, what version of ubuntu, what version of vbox (-ose or other)
[14:56] <Syka> ActionParsnip: It's cd Desk double tap tab
[14:56] <Guest14035> hi, i have a question about wine and itunes
[14:56] <Syka> ActionParsnip: Easy C:
[14:56] <Syka> Guest14035: They work horribly together.
[14:56] <ActionParsnip> Syka: yeah but when the user is used to a gui and doesnt know that they come here and we go through the motions of telling them the wonders of cd and cd ..
[14:56] <bazhang> Guest14035, #winehq for wine support, iTunes does not run well though you can check the appdb
[14:56] <bazhang> !appdb | Guest14035
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> Guest14035: songird is a good itunes replacement, or amarok
[14:57] <nmvictor> bazhang: virtual box 3.0 and im on ubuntu 8.10.
[14:57] <Syka> Guest14035: Cover flow, iPod syncing and good music playing don't work. Use Songbird 1.2, looks similar, works better and is generally more epic
[14:57] <Guest14035> will those sync my ipod touch in ubuntu?
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> or just avoid ipod
[14:57] <Guest14035> to late to avoid the ipod
[14:57] <Guest14035> =)
[14:58] <Syka> Guest14035: In short, no. In long, no way in hell
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> my sincere condolences
[14:58] <Syka> Guest14035: VBox can do it, with a XP VM and USB tunelling
[14:58] <Syka> brbb
[14:58] <Boohbah> MOUD: you could use 'find' or 'slocate' to find out where the file is
[14:58] <Guest14035> my ipod is the only thing keeping me with a vista partition.....errrr
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> Syka: bit ott, a full install of windows for an ipod...
[14:59] <Boohbah> Guest14035: kind of ironic apple is locking you into microsoft
[14:59] <C-S-B> ActionParsnip: virtual machine never hurt anyone. :)
[14:59] <bazhang> http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/UserManual.html#id2508055  <-- nmvictor
[14:59] <Guest14035> yes, i agree....i have been on again and off again with linux for 10 yrs
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> C-S-B: is when they use a paid for os
[15:00] <norpan111> i just bought ubuntu on the store for 99 dollars
[15:00] <Boohbah> C-S-B: i personally know some virtual machines that have physically harmed some of our administrators :)
[15:00] <bazhang> Guest14035, you may check banshee as well for syncing iPods
[15:00] <norpan111> Is that right?
[15:00] <norpan111> Msg me
[15:00] <MOUD> Boohbah: It's from the QuakeLive website.  It's the "Game Content Update" . I want to copy all files that are being downloaded so that I can do an offline install on other machines without the need to redownload it.
[15:00] <bazhang> norpan111, no?
[15:00] <jedc> norpan111, if thats true then you go majorly ripped off
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> norpan111: id report them to the gpl, they cant sell you ubuntu. its not theirs to sell
[15:00] <nmvictor> bazhang: thanks, let me go through it.
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> norpan111: they can give you a cd and sell you support
[15:00] <jedc> norpan111, ubuntu is free
[15:01] <tk81> hey i had a script in /etc/cron.daily with a .sh extension.   For some reasion, the .sh extension was causing the script not to run when cron.daily was executed.  I was wondering why?
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> tk81: was it chmod'd +x
[15:01] <Boohbah> MOUD: hmm, do you know what language the game content update is written in? you may be able to see where the files are being written
[15:01] <tk81> ActionParsnip:  yeah
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> tk81: the file extension doesnt mean anything
[15:01] <jedc> tk81, the extension doesnt do anything, its just for you to know what type of file itis
[15:01] <MOUD> Boohbah: no, that's the problem.
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> !cron | tk81
[15:02] <fleso11> I have a problem with my blender the desktop bleeds right through
[15:02] <tk81> jedc, ActionParsnip: if I rename it with a .sh ending and run 'runparts -v /etc/cron.daily' , it will not run..
[15:02] <bazhang> fleso11, have you asked in #blender
[15:02] <tk81> otherwise it does
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> tk81: read the guides, i gotta split
[15:03] <Dextorion> see you guys tomorrow
[15:03] <zhaolei> clear
[15:03] <qnix> hi, How could I disable ssh login with password (but not with dsa key) for a user?
[15:03] <jedc> tk81, maybe something is trying to refer the the old name of the script?
[15:03] <MOUD> bye Dextorion
[15:03] <llutz> tk81:  scripts in /etc/cron.* must not have any extension
[15:03] <tk81> llutz: why is this I was wondering?
[15:04] <zhaolei> quit
[15:04] <MOUD> I'll be back later ppl. bye
[15:04] <llutz> tk81:  read "man run-parts"
[15:04] <MOUD> and thanks for the help
[15:04] <nmvictor> bazhang: i dont know if guest aditiions will help though it still important, the mouse disappearance is on the host and it persists even with right-CTRL trick.so i dont know how guest additions in the Guest Os will solve a host problem
[15:05] <zhaolei> clear
[15:05] <bazhang> nmvictor, what is the host and what is the guest.
[15:05] <bazhang> nmvictor, you have installed them right? the guest additions?
[15:06] <blackxored>  I have two questions for you guys at #ubuntu, first how to use a completely offline apt setup for a machine and using another one with fast connection for update/package install, I've setup apt-cacher-ng and rsyncing to usb stick but that wouldn't let me update, maybe I'm doing something wrong
[15:06] <bazhang> !offline | blackxored

[15:07] <Frank83> Greetings Guys. Yesterday my Update Manager downloaded a Kernel Update (uname -r = 2.6.28-15-generic) but now today the Update manager is showing me again that I should update the kernel to... 2.6.28-15? Is that normal or is this a fix of the previous kernel?
[15:07] <blackxored> ubottu, I'm aware of the selections method and the aptoncd, I've setup apt-cacher-ng and since it's caching indexes I can't see why can't update on the offline machine
[15:07] <blackxored> sorry I'm aware of the selections method and the aptoncd, I've setup apt-cacher-ng and since it's caching indexes I can't see why can't update on the offline machine

[15:09] <Syka> a94060: There's a setting in there.You need to be root to edit, though. So use sudo
[15:09] <norpan111> I just bought ubuntu in the store for 99dollars, is that right? am i  a fool ?
[15:10] <a94060> alrighty Syka is it spelled out in there i guess? Is it efficent at protecting?

[15:10] <bazhang> norpan111, please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:10] <rocky|> erUSUL, awesome, I will give it a try
[15:10] <Syka> a94060: Honestly, if someone has access to the hardware, nothing can protect you short of a Truecrypt drive
[15:10] <C-S-B> norpan111: someone has just made 99 dollars for nothing.
[15:10] <C-S-B> norpan111: ubuntu is free
[15:11] <jedc> norpan111, ubuntu should be free, the only non sketchy way to sell ubuntu is 5-10 dollars for the cd's, did they sell you any support?
[15:11] <a94060> alright Syka ,thanks. I have had my windows encrypted,just wondering if grub would help
[15:11] <norpan111> C-S-B,  im a fool :/
[15:11] <Frank83> Legend2440, I'll hold it in the line for a while. I have an special knack for screwing up the kernels. :-P
[15:11] <ruben23> what you call the two desktop screen on ubuntu where is located on the right side of the desktop environmnet
[15:11] <norpan111> jedc,  no they just stand in the city and selling cds for 99dollars, "breaking new OS!"

[15:11] <norpan111> bazhang,  isnt this ubuntu?
[15:11] <Syka> antii: You are root
[15:12] <mun> how do you configure which application is to be used for opening an extension by default?
[15:12] <antii> no Syka.
[15:12] <antii> Syka: got permission denied on my dd command
[15:12] <bazhang> norpan111, its ubuntu support only, idle chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:12] <Syka> antii: Well, the Live CD user is more or less root.
[15:12] <C-S-B> anyone know why i cant run crontab -e as a user?
[15:12] <C-S-B> it only works with sudo
[15:12] <norpan111> bazhang,  thanks!
[15:12] <antii> Syka: how can I fix the permission denied thingy
[15:12] <Syka> antii: Does the dd location exist?
[15:13] <jedc> mun, right click on one of the files, then go to properties then the open with tab
[15:13] <antii> Syka: yes, "dd: opening 'dev/sda': Permission denied
[15:13] <deitarion> I'm trying to set up an Ubuntu-based HTPC but I can't figure out how to adjust the TV-Out so the panels aren't hidden off the edge of the screen. (nVidia binary drivers) Anyone know how to add some margins to compensate for a TV with no apparent width and height adjust?
[15:13] <mun> jedc, thanks
[15:13] <Frank83> Legend2440, I'll stay logged into the chat just in case someone knows what's up with the double download. If you get to know something, please let me know. :-)

[15:16] <antii> Syka: oh
[15:16] <Syka> QuantumKaos: The directory has to be empty
[15:16] <hbekel> antii: send SIGUSR1 to dd to make it spit out some info
[15:16] <jedc> QuantumKaos, if you want to remove everything in it, then rm -r /media...
[15:16] <antii> hbekel: no! I have ran my command for a while now :P'
[15:16] <QuantumKaos> Syka: what if i want to remove it all?

[15:17] <Syka> QuantumKaos: try rm --help
[15:17] <ruben23> jedc: ow ok...now proble i cant switch between desktop screen it not working how do i correct it..?
[15:17] <jedc> QuantumKaos, you used the -r option?
[15:17] <ruben23> jedc: ow ok...now problem i cant switch between desktop screen it not working how do i correct it..?
[15:17] <Syka> QuantumKaos: -r is recursive. Try it again
[15:17] <QuantumKaos> yeah i did
[15:18] <jedc> ruben23, you cant switch if you click on them?
[15:18] <QuantumKaos> but itz not letting me, even if im root

[15:18] <vj1> Hi guys can anybody help with the following problem in ubuntu -gnome?  When i click the maximize button on a window the window expands but thus not cover the entire screen.  I have this problem with 1 user, all the other users on the computer are ok.  In which settings-file can i change this behavious?
[15:18] <ruben23> i cant switch when i click on them
[15:18] <dorgan1> is there a repo available for mysql 5.1 for hardy?
[15:18] <jedc> QuantumKaos, in your above post you didnt use the -r option which lets you delete non-empty directories
[15:18] <BrianE> linduxed1: Around 1GB
[15:18] <hbekel> QuantumKaos: ls -l /media/Archive/BackUp/recup_dir.8
[15:19] <ruben23> jedc:i cant switch when i click on them
[15:19] <Syka> linduxed1: A good rule of thumb is twice as much RAM as you have for 0-2GB, then equal above that
[15:19] <new_here> what is the best backup program for ubuntu 9.04
[15:19] <Syka> linduxed1: See what works for you
[15:19] <hbekel> QuantumKaos: try rm -rf
[15:19] <jedc> ruben23, hmm, that sounds weird, im not sure what the problem could be there
[15:19] <sebsebseb> !best |  new_here
[15:19] <rocky|> I installed it, but I don't think its working
[15:20] <ruben23> anyone have idea...? or can i re install the package of it..?
[15:20] <QuantumKaos> hbekel: the output is "Total 0"
[15:20] <legend2440> Frank83: someone may know in channel  #ubuntu-kernel
[15:20] <new_here> sebastien, let me rephrase that what dose #ubuntu like?
[15:20] <rocky|> I don't think the sensors thing is working... its reporting my cpu temp as MUCH lower than core temp does in windows.... also, it isn't changing with processor activity
[15:20] <ruben23>  jedc: anyone have experience like this..
[15:21] <Frank83> Legend2440, Thanks! I didn't know that channel existed. I'll check it out.

[15:22] <gartral> g3org3s: why would you want to drop the network manager
[15:22] <QuantumKaos> g3org3s: u just remove it after install and put wicd or whatever u like
[15:22] <PolitikerNEU> hmm ... maybe sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop && sudo aptitude remove NetworkManager
[15:23] <aaron11> ubottu
[15:23] <QuantumKaos> hbekel: any idea why is not letting me delete it?
[15:23] <bazhang> aaron11, ??
[15:23] <aaron11> are you there
[15:23] <new_here> no ubuntu
[15:23] <Flomar> C-S-B, my problem with X is driving me crazy
[15:23] <dorgan1> is there a repo available for mysql 5.1 for hardy?
[15:23] <aaron11> yes what baz
[15:23] <Flomar> It`s happening again...
[15:23] <Maize> My Ubuntu server keeps reverting back to the first IP address I set it to occasionally.  No rhyme or reason.  Restarting networking fixes it.  Any ideas?
[15:23] <Flomar> it stoped for 2 hours, i was working quite happy
[15:23] <bazhang> aaron11, /msg ubottu please
[15:23] <g3org3s> gardar because during installation , it reconfiguires my network setting and my server wont connect to internet anymore
[15:24] <new_here> Flomar, use Y
[15:24] <hbekel> QuantumKaos: rm -rf should do it (-f = force)
[15:24] <aaron11> oh ok
[15:24] <g3org3s> QuantumKaos if i install it , my pc wont connect to internet, wont have access to remove it
[15:24] <Flomar> alt prnt screen + Y ?
[15:24] <hbekel> QuantumKaos: if not i suggest to fsck
[15:24] <bullgard4> How is the number '15' called in the DEB program package name "linux-image-2.6.28-15-generic"? Is this the 'distribution patch level'?
[15:24] <new_here> sorry math joke
[15:24] <QuantumKaos> g3org3s: thatz impossible, if u dont have access itz a question of permissions
[15:24] <BrianE> PolitikerNEU: Package names are always lowercase, so it's "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get remove network-manager-gnome"
[15:25] <new_here> Flomar, what was the problem
[15:25] <QuantumKaos> hbekel: tried forcing but it gives the same output
[15:25] <g3org3s> QuantumKaos its not me .. its the server farm where it is , they have their settings .. so when network manager is installed .. the old settings are gone = no more acces no itnernet
[15:25] <aaron11> !graphics
[15:25] <QuantumKaos> hbekel: it wont let me

[15:26] <g3org3s> QuantumKaos i want to install gnome .. then vnc to my server ... it has a fresh ubuntu install , no graphical itnerface

[15:27] <Flomar> alt+prtscreen+r releases the keyboard but ctr+ alt+f1 dont go to console
[15:27] <uhok> What would I tie to the -o [output directory] if I want it to be the current working directory?

[15:27] <Sarge_TJ> Hi! Is there anyway I can configure nautilus not to show previews of pdf -files but still show previews of picture files? Anyone?

[15:28] <Flomar> alt+sysrq+r dont work
[15:28] <QuantumKaos> hbekel: on that hard drive there's an ntfs filesys and im sure is not corrupted, i think what happened is linked to the fact that  used photorec (testdisk) to recover some data from a corrupted external HD, when found out the settings i chose were wrong i stopped it, quit it and now i want to delete the recovered data in order to re-start the procedure again
[15:28] <thiebaude> Flomar, ctrl alt f2
[15:28] <QuantumKaos> #Network-Manager
[15:28] <Flomar> thiebaude,  dotn work too
[15:29] <thiebaude> Flomar, do that at log-in
[15:29] <new_here> Flomar, you can make a short cut on the pannel or use force quit
[15:29] <hbekel> QuantumKaos: did you create the dir for the recovered files on the same drive you're trying to recover?
[15:29] <swapy> ohh
[15:29] <QuantumKaos> hbekel: no, not at all :D itz from an external HD on another hd
[15:29] <g3org3s> QuantumKaos so can i install it and not include the network manager ?
[15:30] <Flomar> thiebaude, yes, i now, but my x system is freezing and i use the Magic Keys to release my keyboard, ALt+sysrq+R after that i need to go to console... is other way then ctrl+alt+f1,2,3,x
[15:30] <hbekel> QuantumKaos: ok, then check you fs?
[15:30] <hbekel> *your
[15:30] <thiebaude> Flomar, you have an intel card?
[15:30] <QuantumKaos> g3org3s: dont think so, ubuntu comes with nm out of the box, but u can try to find on google some software that allows u to customize ur ubuntu installation cd so u can exclude nm from it
[15:30] <Flomar> no
[15:30] <FloridaGuy> got usb printer in virtualbox working...with winxp...just cant get usb stick going
[15:30] <Flomar> a nvidia geforce 7100gs

[15:31] <Flomar> bazhang, sorry
[15:31] <Flomar> i reinstall ubuntu 2 times
[15:31] <Flomar> all nvidia drivers faill with this board
[15:31] <QuantumKaos> hbekel: im telling u there's no reason to check my fs, it is perfectly working, indeed, there's other stuff on it and i can easily delete it, so i guess the prob is what ive done with photorec
[15:31] <bullgard4> How is the number '15' called in the DEB program package name "linux-image-2.6.28-15-generic"? Is this the 'distribution patch level'?

[15:39] <Flomar> swapy, i had ubuntu 8.0.4 tls here and it worked GREAT for more then 1 year
[15:39] <swapy> 1) apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx
[15:39] <swapy> 2) apt-get install nvidia-glx-new (maybe you can skip this xD)
[15:39] <swapy> 3) sudo envy -t and uninstall nvidia drivers, clean the nvidia drivers, and install them again

[15:54] <m> hey all
[15:54] <m> i need help please.
[15:55] <minimec> gnhk666: Your wireless is wired? I don't understand you..
[15:55] <hbekel> coldReactive42: you're reinventing the wheel, you can use udev to get consistent device naming
[15:55] <g3org3s> Anyone knows how to install gnome without network manager ?
[15:55] <darwish> m, don't ask to ask. Just ask
[15:55] <coldReactive42> lol
[15:55] <hbekel> coldReactive42: but very creative ;)
[15:55] <gnhk666> minimec: wireless doesn't work, so am wired in to try and somehow make it work...
[15:55] <coldReactive42> and how do I get udev to get me my device names?
[15:55] <m> darwish is it polite to do so ?:)
[15:56] <darwish> darwish, some people consider it impolite _not_ to do so :)
[15:56] <minimec> gnhk666: but that wireless thing... Is that an usb stick or what?
[15:56] <m> anyway i've installed Ubuntu On VirtualBox.
[15:56] <hbekel> coldReactive42: you have to create a rule that creates a symlink, e.g. /dev/scanner, based on the devices serial
[15:56] <m> and i've WIN xp
[15:56] <coldReactive42> And how do I do that? -_-
[15:56] <m> i wanna access Ubuntu folders from my xp
[15:56] <m> just wanna copy a file which is placed in Ubuntu to Xp
[15:56] <hbekel> coldReactive42: by writing a udev rule
[15:57] <coldReactive42> there is no dev/scanner
[15:57] <gnhk666> minimec: wireless thing should be my laptop yes?
[15:57] <combo> hello, how can i uninstall "ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64.run" ?
[15:58] <darwish> m, I didn't work with virtualbox before. You're sure it doesn't have such facility built-in?
[15:58] <darwish> i.e and image file brwoser from XP?
[15:58] <hbekel> coldReactive42: yes, /dev/scanner will be created by udev if you tell it to to so
[15:58] <leisure> part bye
[15:58] <m> darwish yes it is its called VirtualBox Addition but am not sure how to use it yet.
[15:58] <hbekel> coldReactive42: that was just an example
[15:58] <coldReactive42> And how do I do that? I'm no linux master
[15:58] <minimec> gnhk666: that wireless adapter. Is it a built in mini-pci card in your laptop, or is it some usb device?
[15:58] <leisure> quit
[15:58] <coldReactive42> I don't know how to use udev at all
[15:59] <gnhk666> minimec: ahh, this i kinda know,  built in card, broadcom 4312 or something...
[15:59] <m> darwish, lets forget about the Virtual Box, and assume that am In Ubuntu how can i copy a file from terminal to xp system?
[15:59] <llutz> m you want to read virtualbox manual, specially about shared-folders
[15:59] <kai> hi. is it possible to install vmware player directly with apt-get
[15:59] <kai>       without registering and downloading from the vmware site manually?
[15:59] <m> llutz it takes about 2 years reading articles:)
[16:00] <disappearedng> Hey everyone, I tried to mount my ipod with mount -t vfat /dev/sdc /media/ipod and it says wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc any idea how I should go about doing this?
[16:00] <darwish> m, you open the XP filesystem from Ubuntu and copy the files there, or the opposite if both OSes are on the same PC
[16:00] <llutz> m don't ask others to do it for you
[16:00]  * coldReactive42 sighs
[16:00] <darwish> m, or you use Samba (Windows Share) if the PCs are on the same network
[16:00] <m> llutz do not ask others to do so?:) have i asked to? i did not ask for ur help.
[16:00] <kai> hi. is it possible to install vmware player directly with apt-get
[16:00] <kai>       without registering and downloading from the vmware site manually?
[16:00] <m> llutz am asking to help me not to do it!!
[16:00] <minimec> gnhk666: Ok. Are you sure that the card is active? Some laptops have a Wireless button. The led of the card on the laptop should be blincking, if the card is recognizes.
[16:00] <m> there is a big differences among two wordS:)
[16:01] <MikeSeth> kai: it should be
[16:01] <MikeSeth> kai: if not you can just do that manually
[16:01] <gnhk666> minimec: switch is on, only the bluetooth light is on...
[16:01] <m> darwish both of systems are on same pc.
[16:01] <kai> MikeSeth: Yeah but i can'
[16:01] <kai> t
[16:01] <coldReactive42> I guess I won't get an answer.
[16:01] <kai> ...find vmware player with apt-cahce search
[16:02] <darwish> m, the best way then is to create a FAT32 partition. This way, you can read and write to this partition from either XP, or Ubuntu
[16:02] <hbekel> coldReactive42: you'll have to do that yourself, there's lots of tutorials
[16:02] <minimec> gnhk666: ok. do an 'lspci' in a console and paste.ubuntu.com me the results.
[16:02] <QuantumKaos> g3org3s: try asking on #nm
[16:02] <kai> MikeSeth: I really wanna prevent doing stuff manually. It's a fresh system, you know.
[16:02] <coldReactive42> Such as?
[16:02] <kai> want to make a clean start
[16:02] <m> darwish NTFS does not help?
[16:02]  * adiktd|server is away: I'm busy so F*cK OFF!
[16:02] <MikeSeth> kai: /opt, problem solved
[16:02] <jedc> kai, have you considered using virtualbox?
[16:02] <hbekel> coldReactive42: google knows
[16:02] <MikeSeth> adiktd|server: well aint that nice
[16:02] <coldReactive42> keep in mind, this is a CVS snapshot sane-backend
[16:03] <gnhk666> minimec: paste to where?
[16:03] <coldReactive42> it's not a stable backend
[16:03] <kai> jedc: no. can it compete with vmware?
[16:03] <jedc> kai, ive never used vmware, but it is a good virtual machine
[16:03] <kai> jedc: i already got a vmware image i just wanna copy it to the new system now.
[16:03] <darwish> m, I'm not sure NTFS writing in Ubuntu has become stable yet or not
[16:03] <hbekel> coldReactive42: that doesn't matter, your problem is inconsistent device naming, which can be solved with udev
[16:03] <darwish> m, thank Microsoft for not releasing their FS specifications
[16:03] <llutz> !ntfs-3g | m
[16:03] <IdleOne> darwish, has been for a while now
[16:03] <Akalbulusikus> What is a dependency?
[16:04] <kai> jedc: well vmware is very good, absolutely nothing to complain about (everything works out-of-the-box)
[16:04] <jedc> Akalbulusikus, it is another package that a package requires to run
[16:04] <minimec> gnhk666: paste.ubuntu.com then give me the link here so I can read it ...
[16:04] <m> thanks a lot ubottu && darwish :)
[16:04] <IdleOne> Akalbulusikus, your children depend on you to feed them correct? packages depend on other packages to work propely
[16:04] <coldReactive42> there's this: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-11718.html
[16:04] <coldReactive42> But it doesn't help, I have USB, not scsi
[16:04] <m> darwish by the way ur nickname indicates to Arabian/Turkish name.
[16:04] <Akalbulusikus> So dependency is also a .Deb file?
[16:04] <darwish> m, yes it is :)
[16:04] <jedc> kai, that has been my experience with virtualbox as well, but i dont use it extensibly, also no box to deal with :p "sudo apt-get install virtualbox"
[16:04] <m> lol.
[16:05] <m> nice 2 meet ya
[16:05] <m> thanks for helping.

[16:05] <cornjuliox> how do i uninstall the java web browser plugin and re install it? i can't find the entry in synaptic
[16:05] <darwish> m, you're welcome :)
[16:06] <Akalbulusikus> Thanks for your help !
[16:06] <thiebaude> cornjuliox, sudo apt-get remove sun-java6-plugin
[16:06] <hbekel> coldReactive42: the principle is the same, you'll just have to adapt it
[16:06] <Akalbulusikus> *gotta google it out: libaudio2 and python pgtl*
[16:06] <coldReactive42> No thanks
[16:06] <kai> i'll give it a shot. trying out something new won't hurt.
[16:06] <coldReactive42> I'll wait until october
[16:07] <kai> (although it costs time)
[16:07] <coldReactive42> see if Karmic has it fixed
[16:07] <gustavo> Hola
[16:07] <gnhk666> minimec: http://paste.ubuntu.com/255778/
[16:07] <sebsebseb> !es |  gustavo
[16:07] <kai> well i think vmware player is not included in the standard ubuntu repository
[16:07] <cornjuliox> thiebaude: its not that one, i was given like 4 options in FF when I wanted to install the java plugin, I picked the last one, it was something like "GJC (...something OpenJDK)"
[16:07] <gnhk666> i think thats what you mean...
[16:07] <thiebaude> cornjuliox, search in synaptic for it
[16:08] <coldReactive42> And as much as I'd like to go back to windows to have it all work seamlessly, I can't. It won't activate anymore.
[16:08] <IdleOne> cornjuliox, if you search for openjdk it should list all installed packages with that word in it
[16:08] <thiebaude> cornjuliox, what i gave you was the plugin from Sun
[16:08] <jedc> kai, thats because vmware is proprietary software
[16:09] <cornjuliox> alright, I think I got it
[16:09] <cornjuliox> thanks guy
[16:09] <cornjuliox> guys*
[16:09] <IdleOne> coldReactive42, if you have a valid activation key you can call them and have them reset it for you. offtopic for here more help on that in ##windows
[16:09] <coldReactive42> It is valid, but I believe it's been activated over 15 times (the limit for over the internet)
[16:09] <IdleOne> coldReactive42, not saying to go back to windows....
[16:10] <coldReactive42> Well, since Flash CS3 doesn't work in Wine, nor ReactOS, I can't really stay in linux forever
[16:10] <IdleOne> coldReactive42, you can alsways dualboot
[16:10] <IdleOne> always*
[16:11] <darwish> coldReactive42, maybe you can try KVM if you have a new machine too
[16:11] <coldReactive42> No, dualboot to me is a big nono
[16:11] <minimec> gnhk666: Looks like your card needs a closedsource driver from Broadcom, called "wl" or something. There is also a possibility to use ndiswrapper. I read that in a german forum. http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/broadcom-4312-unter-ubuntu-8.10-laeuft-nicht-/?highlight=broadcom#post-1668271
[16:11] <coldReactive42> I have virtualbox already

[16:12] <coldReactive42> virtualbox won't let me activate windows (did once, but after that, nope)
[16:12] <Vlet> I just finished installing postfix/mailman and somewhere along the way I entered my domain name wrong, and can't seem to find where to reset it; it only affects the mailman web interface.

[16:20] <perini_>  when I apt-get update apt-get -u dist-upgrade I get E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code, does anybody knows how to solve this dpkg problem?
[16:20] <minimec> gnhk666: Now it's your turn ;) All you need is written there. I don't have that card...
[16:20] <coldReactive42> What about this: udevinfo -a -p LINE_FROM_PREVIOUS_POINT
[16:20] <coldReactive42> How do I mimic that?
[16:21] <Mhz> hi, I haven't upgraded my computer for over a year (v 8.04), can I upgrade straight to 9.04?
[16:21] <drake> bararaabababba
[16:21] <minimec> g3org3s: what do you mean with 'graphical interfaces'? your graphical hardware? Different Window managers? Multiple screens?
[16:21] <Pici> Mhz: No, you'll need to upgrade to 8.10 first.
[16:21] <drake> qualcuno parla italiano?
[16:21] <Pici> !it | drake
[16:21] <coldReactive42> ...
[16:21] <IdleOne> !upgrade | Mhz
[16:21] <gnhk666> minimec: fair enough, i extracted the files, got some stuff on my desk top, but from there what the...?
[16:21] <Mhz> thanks
[16:21] <drake> ok thank you
[16:22] <Brian____> so yesterday i really messed up my netbook,  when i went to install linux to my usb disk  by mistake i installed the installer on my hard drive, so now my hard drive is mountedat a cdrom
[16:22] <coldReactive42> ian@ian-desktop:~$ udevadm info -a -p LINE_FROM_PREVIOUS_POINT
[16:22] <coldReactive42> device path not found
[16:23] <coldReactive42> So I can't create a symlink with that tutorial from 2005, how nice. *sighs*
[16:23] <rabidweezle> anyone here use dvd::rip?
[16:23] <rabidweezle> coldReactive42, ln -s <source> <target>
[16:23] <coldReactive42> And what do I put for source and target?
[16:23] <jedc> Brian____, i dont understand what you mean
[16:23] <rabidweezle> source is what you want to symlink, target is where you want it to be linked
[16:24] <Alvinware> How to still can connect to a hidden network, when the router ssid is stop broadcasting?
[16:24] <Brian____> have you ever hear of unetbootin
[16:24] <coldReactive42> And I don't know EITHER
[16:24] <rabidweezle> what are you looking to symlink?
[16:24] <coldReactive42> a usb scanner from root to my user
[16:24] <Paddy_NI> !usb | Brian____
[16:25] <rabidweezle> :/
[16:25] <minimec> gnhk666: Having a look at that readme file tells me, that you have some console work to do. You have to understand the logic of the readme file. If they write '1.    Is there a way to auto-reconnect?
[16:25] <coldReactive42> too bad, that's what I need to do
[16:25] <tapas> coldReactive42: what is the goal?
[16:25] <hbekel> coldReactive42: udevadm info -a -p `udevadm info -q path -n /dev/sda`
[16:25] <rabidweezle> i'm guessing /dev/something
[16:25] <Paddy_NI> Brian____, read the wiki page to find out :)
[16:25] <coldReactive42> sda is an hdd
[16:25] <tapas> coldReactive42: you want your user to be able to use the USB scanner?
[16:25] <hbekel> coldReactive42: replace /dev/sda with your scanners device
[16:25] <minimec> gnhk666: ... the 2nd part of the mine mkdir hybrid_wl is the console command.
[16:26] <tapas> coldReactive42: let's not talk about solutions but about the problem first
[16:26] <coldReactive42> I don't KNOW THE PATH
[16:26] <Brian____> the problem i have is when i boot my computer my computer boots as if a live cd was incerted as in it launches  the installer and all that,
[16:26] <MikeSeth> coldReactive42: dmesg?
[16:26] <tapas> coldReactive42: well, no need to shout..
[16:26] <hbekel> coldReactive42: you said you have used your scanner
[16:26] <coldReactive42> As root
[16:26] <hbekel> coldReactive42: use what you've used before
