[15:55] <sceo> how do I remove a program that I installed from .deb and now want to remove (and no longer have the deb) - can I download a new version and use it to dpkg -r?
[15:55] <Jiong> jabirali: tty terminal
[15:55] <icullen> hi, is anyone familiar with LTSP in 10.04?  I can't boot clients.  It says "Error: failed to connect to NBD server" then dumps the client to a busybox shell.  9.10 worked OK
[15:55] <kassah> my theme is still has some gray backgrounded items in the notification area... including Network Managers "plugged into ethernet"... my laptop has dark backgrounded icons... is there a way to reset the theme or something to fix this?
[15:55] <Jiong> jabirali: the GUI works god, but tty terminal cann't
[15:56] <theadmin> sceo: It should appear in Synaptic/apt-get list, so you just "sudo apt-get purge" it
[15:56] <CloudLevi> Soooooooooo how do I install Mozilla Thunderbird 3? =/
[15:56] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[15:56] <kassah> using the Ambiance theme
[15:56] <ActionParsnip> CloudLevi: add the mozilla ppa
[15:56] <Jiong> jabirali: s/god/good
[15:56] <jabirali> sceo: sudo dpkg -r <packagename>, you don't need the .deb, just the name of the package you installed
[15:56] <ActionParsnip> Jiong: obviously not a wrestling fan eh :)
[15:56] <CloudLevi> ActionParsnip: I'm gonna need the exact text for that >>
[15:56] <theadmin> kassah: It's likely icon problems
[15:56] <ywgx> s/god/good/g
[15:56] <maxigas> I am looking for a GUI program to browse music files, play music files with playlist, and burn the playlist on a CD.  I tried looking around but Amarok, GMPD, Sonata, mplayer, etc. don't seem to do this.
[15:56] <theadmin> ywgx: Oh god. Why do we need a global replacement here, may I ask?
[15:57] <sceo> jabirali theadmin thanks
[15:57] <rethus> theadmin: can i also install this window manager (gnome) via synaptic?
[15:57] <ywgx> have woman?
[15:57] <kassah> theadmin, any reason the network manager one wouldn't get switched over? my laptop has the dark backgrounded one
[15:57] <jabirali> Jiong: Aha, it's the console that is the problem... Hmm, I haven't setup that to use other UTF8 characters before :P
[15:57] <CGI-Inc0> jrib: i just did and apt-get purge libapr which remove apache2 and php5. I reinstalled libapr and libaprutils, then apache2 and then php5: same problem, same error
[15:57] <ActionParsnip> CloudLevi: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install thunderbird-3.0    there is also 3.1 on there, your choice
[15:57] <maxigas> rethus: yes
[15:57] <kassah> theadmin, is there a package that might have gotten half installed?
[15:57] <Jiong> ActionParsnip: what's wrestling fan mean?
[15:57] <_pg__> help! i upgraded to lucid and it is botched. grub error grub puts not found
[15:57] <theadmin> kassah: Who knows, who knows... :/ For me, I had to reboot before it gotten to the normal icon
[15:58] <kassah> theadmin, hmm
[15:58] <kassah> theadmin, maybe I need to reboot into another theme and reboot back into this one... I'll try that... thanks
[15:58] <ActionParsnip> Jiong: like TNA wrestling / WWE wrestling etc. There was a thing ages ago for shouting "Foley is good"
[15:58] <LogicalDash> I say, Gwibber doesn't seem to be opening at all for me.  Which key is the <Leader>? I saw this on a vim wiki but I don't know which key it is.
[15:59] <_pg__> ActionParsnip: does it matter where I install grub? Ive never gotten it where I want it but it was working ok before this.
[15:59] <ActionParsnip> LogicalDash: try reinstalling it and/or renaming the folder that holds its config
[15:59] <Claw_> LogicalDash start in shell an see what output you get
[15:59] <ActionParsnip> _pg__: you will install it to the drive you are booting to e.g. /dev/sda    wtc
[15:59] <Jiong> ActionParsnip: so "Foley is good " can resolve my problem?
[15:59] <stodorovic> anyone able to get iwl3945 wifi to work in WPA environments at all? I keep getting "Association request to the driver failed" + https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/429246

[15:59] <theadmin> Anyone know whether Lubuntu is an official Ubuntu devirative (like Xubuntu)?
[16:00] <Jiong> ActionParsnip: I just want to call : god again
[16:00] <ActionParsnip> Jiong: no, i was simply noting the switch and it reminded me
[16:00] <_pg__> theadmin: not yet
[16:00] <_pg__> ActionParsnip: i have a lubuntu live usb, will that work
[16:00] <theadmin> _pg__: With Maverick it will be, then?
[16:00] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: not yet but we're hoping :)
[16:00] <CloudLevi> ActionParsnip: it needs some kinda key
[16:00] <jtgiri> hi guys, is there list for more repos for hardy ?
[16:00] <_pg__> theadmin: i dont think canonical has decided yet
[16:00] <theadmin> It's just that I want something lightweight and XFCE is bloated in Ubuntu :/
[16:00] <ActionParsnip> _pg__: sure
[16:00] <Jiong> ActionParsnip: so, you also meat this kind of problem before.
[16:00] <CloudLevi> ActionParsnip: NOT my sudo key
[16:01] <_pg__> ActionParsnip: i have like 5 partitions and i always eff this part up.
[16:01] <_pg__> ActionParsnip: EFI>OSX>UBUNTU>W7PRO and im sure there is some free space buffer partitions in there too. (200mb)
[16:01] <deadlight> ???
[16:01] <masdi> how to set automount my winxp partitions?
[16:01] <rethus> how can i delete only one entry on "history" on shell?
[16:02] <Jiong> jabirali: so, haven't any method to resolve this problem with console?
[16:02] <_pg__> masdi: edit fstab
[16:02] <ActionParsnip> CloudLevi: sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 247510BE
[16:02] <Claw_> I need a application for benchmarking my RAID5 - I want to test the write-speed not the read like hdparm does. Anybody know one?
[16:02] <Jiong> masdi: you need to change your /etc/fstab file?
[16:02] <invisibleprison> Anyone know what would causo my sound to randomly stop working in rhythmbox and when I hover over files in nautilus (still works using totem).
[16:02] <Jiong> how to get the uuid ?
[16:02] <theadmin> Claw_: That "Disk Utility" in system menu.
[16:02] <ActionParsnip> _pg__: the partitions are moot, you are installing to the drive itself
[16:03] <ActionParsnip> Jiong: sudo blkid
[16:03] <_pg__> ActionParsnip: but, EFI!, grr, ok ill try it
[16:03] <Jiong> ActionParsnip: then how to get hardware info?
[16:03] <Gal> progre55: told you, no opengl
[16:03] <ActionParsnip> rethus: if you open ~/.bash_history    then yes ;)
[16:03] <theadmin> Jiong: lshw
[16:03] <ActionParsnip> Jiong: sudo lshw | less
[16:03] <rethus> ActionParsnip: thanks
[16:03] <masdi> jiong : change what?
[16:04] <Jiong> masdi: edit /etc/fstab
[16:04] <Claw_> theadmin that would requerie the disc to be completely empty
[16:04] <theadmin> Claw_: ...!?
[16:04] <Claw_> masdi edit /etc/fstab
[16:04] <masdi> jiong : i already open fstab, but dunno what to change
[16:04] <Nastya> Hi everyone! Recommend me please an free Internet calendar service which can work with Sunbird?
[16:04] <rethus> ActionParsnip: have no .bash_history in my ~-Dir
[16:04] <Claw_> theadmin it does
[16:05] <Jiong> masdi: man fstab
[16:05] <ActionParsnip> !ot | Nastya
[16:05] <theadmin> Claw_: Well I never tried...
[16:05] <Claw_> theadmin "The disk seems to have usage `filesystem' - write benchmarking requires the disk to be completely empty"
[16:05] <jabirali> Jiong: I'm sorry, but I doubt it... According to this wiki: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fonts#Console_fonts , "A console font is limited to either 256 or 512 characters."
[16:05] <ActionParsnip> rethus: try: cd ~; ls -a
[16:05] <masdi> thanks, reading it now
[16:05] <bartek> Hi there. When I want to mount a Samba directory .. how do I determine the //servername/sharename ? Like, I'm sure I know what it is, but I want to verify before I just randomly edit my fstab file
[16:05] <rethus> ActionParsnip: have done so
[16:05] <vivid> so, i just installed todays round of updates for lucid.....and now grub is broken, cant boot any of my systems,     how do i fix this?
[16:06] <ActionParsnip> rethus: the file is hidden and you will have one, thats where the history is held
[16:06] <rethus> i'm on a webserver... there is no user-account on /home/
[16:06] <CloudLevi> ActionParsnip: failed...
[16:06] <rethus> maybe its on root's ~ ?
[16:06] <abhijain> hello
[16:06] <_pg__> how do i reinstall grub from grub rescue prompt
[16:06] <theadmin> rethus: It's likely in /root
[16:06] <jabirali> Jiong: You could however try out something called fbterm, which is a terminal emulator for the linux framebuffer console. It seems to support all freetype2-fonts
[16:06] <rethus> k
[16:06] <ActionParsnip> CloudLevi: care to give some actual details
[16:06] <Jiong> So quit?
[16:06] <_pg__> it wont boot to live usb im still at "error: the symbol 'grub puts' not found
[16:07] <vivid> how do i fix broken grub after todays updates?
[16:07] <ActionParsnip> !grub2 | _pg__
[16:07] <abhijain> what is the difference b/w netbook and netbook remix which one is better
[16:07] <theadmin> vivid: See the above factoid
[16:07] <jabirali> Jiong: http://code.google.com/p/fbterm/
[16:07] <ActionParsnip> CloudLevi: what release are you using?
[16:07] <Goosey> Does anyone have any opinions regarding the quality/value of these laptops: http://www.system76.com/ ?
[16:07] <ActionParsnip> !ot | Goosey
[16:07] <CloudLevi> ActionParsnip: Koala
[16:07] <jtgiri> is there a way to install local .deb package with apt-get ?
[16:07] <Claw_> abhijain remix has another desktop
[16:07] <jabirali> Jiong: One of the features listed on their site is "auto-detect text encoding with current locale, support double width scripts like Chinese, Japanese etc"
[16:07] <vivid> theadmin, what factoid...
[16:08] <theadmin> jtgiri: No, but you can use the following: "gdebi somefile.deb"
[16:08] <theadmin> ubottu: grub2 | vivid
[16:08] <VCoolio> jtgiri: or cli-only: dpkg -i blah.deb
[16:08] <Claw_> abhijain for lower resolutions - you should just tryout with the live-cd :)
[16:08] <Babar> hum, is there a way to make the language bar less dumb and NOT square?
[16:08] <CloudLevi> ActionParsnip: maybe it didn't fail. It gave me an error but now it's telling me it changed nothing as if it's already there
[16:08] <rethus> theadmin: jes there is bash_history, but not with my entry i made as user
[16:08] <theadmin> VCoolio: gdebi is CLI, it just also gets dependencies, unlike dpkg
[16:08] <stoneman> i have installed 10.04 but i can't find openoffice suite in my menu! applications>office?? any help
[16:08] <essial> what was that app called that replaces the Window List with the windows 7 like icon boxes
[16:08] <ActionParsnip> CloudLevi: run: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list      add this line: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu karmic main      save the file and close gedit
[16:08] <essial> I installed it on my other computer but I can't remember the name of it, i know it's on gnome-look.org
[16:09] <rethus> stoneman: maybe install it with aptitude
[16:09] <ActionParsnip> CloudLevi: then run: sudo apt-gt update; sudo apt-get install thunderbird-3.0
[16:09] <CloudLevi> ActionParsnip: o_O.... uhm....
[16:09] <Claw_> stoneman is it installed ? (sudo apt-get xxx)
[16:09] <abhijain> Claw_: i have wubi , netbook and netbook remix which one is better
[16:09] <Wanderer> anyone having problems with autofs not starting after a reboot since upgrading to Lucid?
[16:09] <VCoolio> essial: dockbar-x
[16:09] <ActionParsnip> CloudLevi: can you try and be constructive rather than pointless emoticon stuff
[16:09] <_pg__> wtf-can grub be made ease in a future release? I ALWAYS have problems with it. it is a huge hurdle to people that arent already linux geniuses
[16:09] <Claw_> abhijain are you using windows?
[16:09] <theadmin> CloudLevi: With one command: "echo deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu karmic main | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mozilla-daily && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade"
[16:09] <essial> VCoolio: Thanks!
[16:09] <CloudLevi> ActionParsnip: your last statement confused me >> the one before the sudo
[16:10] <jrib> _pg__: what problems did you have?  You shouldn't have to touch grub
[16:10] <abhijain> Claw_: no at this time i m on wubi
[16:10] <vivid> _pg__, this is obviously purely a fail and ubuntu's end today, dont blame grub2 :p
[16:10] <stoneman> sudo apt-get install [what is the file for open office] ???
[16:10] <abhijain> Claw_: ubuntu 1o.4 wubu
[16:10] <CloudLevi> theadmin: That doesn't look cut/paste safe...and yet I assume that it is?
[16:10] <ActionParsnip> CloudLevi: better. Ok they are instructions for you to follow, a command to run and some text to add to the file
[16:10] <_pg__> jrib: error: the symbol 'grun_puts_' not found
[16:10] <jrib> stoneman: if you don't want to use the command line, use Software Center or Synaptic to search for openoffice
[16:11] <ActionParsnip> stoneman: openoffice.org
[16:11] <CloudLevi> wait...Gedit...
[16:11] <theadmin> CloudLevi: It is, just don't paste the quotes :D
[16:11] <abhijain> Claw_: wubi*
[16:11] <altavatar> Hi. I have a sblive (sigmatel chip) and ubuntu 10.04 and can't get audio to work through the spdif output on the back. i've selected the card in the sound prefs, and made sure the spdif items in alsamixer are unmuted, any other ideas?
[16:11] <Jiong> jabirali: so cann't display double byte characteres?
[16:11] <stoneman> hehe i want to use console xD
[16:11] <stoneman> tnx
[16:11] <Claw_> I need a application for benchmarking my RAID5 - I want to test the write-speed not the read like hdparm does. Anybody know one?
[16:11] <_pg__> jrib: grub rescue>
[16:11] <ActionParsnip> CloudLevi: i have given complete instructions, just read and follow
[16:11] <CloudLevi> I have...a very small idea of what you guys are telling me to do
[16:11] <jrib> stoneman: you can use "apt-cache search" to search
[16:11] <jrib> !apt > stoneman
[16:11] <ActionParsnip> Claw_: does hdparm have a switch to choose write ?
[16:11] <Wanderer> ugh, and no mouse in latest upgrade to Lucid
[16:11] <Wanderer> wtf
[16:11] <CloudLevi> ActionParsnip: could you post them again in another window so they're not constantly scrolling up?
[16:12] <Claw_> ActionParsnip would ask for a tool if hdparm could solve my problem?
[16:12] <jrib> !grub2 >
[16:12] <stodorovic> anyone able to get iwl3945 wifi to work in WPA environments at all? I keep getting "Association request to the driver failed" + https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/429246
[16:12] <jrib> !grub2 > _pg__
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> CloudLevi: i'm just telling you to add a line to a file, the file is owned by root so you need gksudo to run gedit in order to get write access
[16:12] <jrib> _pg__: follow those steps on reinstalling grub
[16:12] <bartek> Hi there. When I want to mount a Samba directory .. how do I determine the //servername/sharename ? Like, I'm sure I know what it is, but I want to verify before I just randomly edit my fstab file
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> Claw_: have you checked the hdparm man page
[16:12] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Isn't it easier to just give one command instead of explaining how to do everything? :D
[16:12] <kangourou_nomade> Excuse me all
[16:12] <nikitis> I need some help manually installing my drivers.  Something is wrong.  I've done all of the default stuff as usual, but now i can't seem to use them
[16:12] <_pg__> jrib: yeah. already got that. i try booting to live usb and still here at grub rescue, and those comnmands dont work there
[16:12] <Claw_> ActionParsnip I did
[16:13] <CloudLevi> ActionParsnip: ...can I just use that sudo command you gave me? >> or do I have to do both?
[16:13] <kangourou_nomade> I just saw Mark will answer some questions on this channel #ubuntu-classroom and #ubuntu-classroom-chat
[16:13] <VCoolio> bartek: try 'sudo smbtree' in terminal, or use gigolo or some samba frontend
[16:13] <kangourou_nomade> but i see i can't talk
[16:13] <besa> hi
[16:13] <vivid> why do we have to reinstall grub in the first place? did nobody test this latest update before it was spread to users?
[16:13] <kangourou_nomade> (i'm new to irc)
[16:13] <jabirali> Jiong: Like I said, check out fbterm at http://code.google.com/p/fbterm/. It seems like console fonts are limited to maximum 512 characters, which won't be enough to cover chinese/japanese; but fbterm is a terminal emulator that _runs in the tty_, and lets you use the same fonts you use in X in the tty. I think this is what you are looking for.
[16:13] <jrib> _pg__: did you follow the steps on the wiki?  What exactly did you try and what exactly was the result?
[16:13] <CloudLevi> ActionParsnip: yeah, nevermind
[16:13] <kangourou_nomade> Can u hear me?
[16:13] <jabirali> Jiong: fbterm seems to be in the repositories too :)
[16:13] <ActionParsnip> CloudLevi: there is a command needing gksudo as yuo are using gedit which should not be run with sudo, you will then need sudo to run apt-get.
[16:13] <besa> how to install programs of windows in UBUNTU
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> besa: with wine
[16:14] <VCoolio> kangourou_nomade: loud and clear
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> !appdb | besa
[16:14] <besa> but my copmuter is poor
[16:14] <_pg__> jrib: i put in my live usb, tell it to boot to it. and i end right back up at grub.: error: the symbol 'grun_puts_' not found
[16:14] <CloudLevi> ActionParsnip: what was that file edit supposed to do? I've already got TB3.1 installing BTW, so I don't think I'll need it...but I still want to know
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> besa: check the appdb for compatibility, not all apps work, and not all work well
[16:14] <besa> my copmuter is i367
[16:14] <jrib> _pg__: you aren't booting from the live cd then
[16:14] <_pg__> jrib: from there, the commands are all unrecognized
[16:14] <MikeH_> Is there an alternative to unetbootin for mac?
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> CloudLevi: if its installing then its all good
[16:14] <altavatar> The sound prefs "output" tab only gives an option for "Dummy output", shouldnt it also list the snd card device?
[16:14] <AndyGraybeal> hi, what is the best way to represent 'all files' is it simply * (an asterisk)?
[16:14] <_pg__> MikeH_: no. not a dman thing
[16:14] <jrib> AndyGraybeal: no.  What context?
[16:15] <CloudLevi> ActionParsnip: I figured as much, but I still wanna know what the file edit was for. >>
[16:15] <theadmin> AndyGraybeal: Pretty much yes, but depends on what command.
[16:15] <ActionParsnip> the sources.list file contains the sources that apt-get and software centre pull their packages from
[16:15] <CloudLevi> ActionParsnip: The key, right?
[16:15] <kangourou_nomade> Excuse me Vcoolio
[16:15] <MikeH_> _pg__: Thought as much :/

[16:15] <besa> plz
[16:15] <zaafouri> hi
[16:15] <stodorovic> Should we be pushing generic Linux questions to #linux ?

[16:15] <devon_jones> I've got exim4 configured as my local mta, but I want to be able to use the sendmail command to send well, mails.  Will installing sendmail bork the exim4-config?  will the sendmail command work with exim4's smarthost stuff?
[16:15] <AndyGraybeal> jrib: what is the best way to match all files in linux?
[16:15] <zaafouri> hi besa

[16:16] <nikitis> Can anyone help me with my graphics driver problem?
[16:16] <jrib> AndyGraybeal: why don't you just copy the directory you are in?
[16:16] <CloudLevi> ActionParsnip: Okay, then...so if I want to get up-to-date Mozilla software through Update Center, I should go ahead and do what you said. ... ...Mind reposting it in another window...as I asked before? >>;
[16:16] <jabirali> nikitis: whatr is the problem?

[16:17] <nikitis> jabirali, i upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04, Then graphics needed to be recompiled.  So i went to do so, but i got a cannot loaed nvidia.ko error.  I then recompiled it as sudo sh NVIDIA-package.run -k (uname -r) and it compiled, but I can't seem to tell ubuntu to use it
[16:17] <Wanderer> Anyone having problems with a USB mouse after today's updates?
[16:17] <kerebrus> Is there a hardware panel that displays the hardware in ones computer? becuase since I switched to 10.04 my usb dvd rom and my internal dvd rom stopped working.
[16:17] <justin22885> if i take the flash drive i installed from out.. it wont boot, its like the bootloader got installed to that instead
[16:18] <stodorovic> ActionParsnip: i have many times :/
[16:18] <andeeeuk> has anyone got their ati graphics card working on ubunutu 10.04?
[16:18] <stodorovic> maco: i suppose that's a good point
[16:18] <jabirali> Jiong: Yup, I tested it locally; chinese characters displayed correctly in fbterm :D
[16:18] <Wiggly> hi, i have just installed ubuntu 10.04 using the install inside windows option... i can now boot back in to windows fine but when i try to boot Ubuntu i get somthing like "GRUB>" is there some way of fixing this (i have windows 7 if thats any help)...
[16:18] <tapan_chugh> sound is not working on my ubuntu system
[16:18] <tapan_chugh> please help
[16:18] <justin22885> how do i reinstall grub to the mbr?
[16:19] <n8w> does anyone know any tools for measuring hdd max transfer rate?
[16:19] <balkierode> what will happen if i cancell a install process in ubuntu software center?
[16:19] <jabirali> nikitis: You mean the system still doesn'tload the module when needed?
[16:19] <stodorovic> tapan_chugh: platy some music with mpg123 or oggplay or aplay etc.
[16:19] <balkierode> will that resume from where i cancell when i give next time?
[16:19] <kerebrus> andeeeuk envyng-qt is a program that will detect the best driver for nvidia and ati cards.
[16:19] <juanca>  I'm tring to use a special vmdk virtual disk with VirtualBox, pointing to an existing partition using: sudo VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename /media/Chica/repos.vmdk -rawdisk /dev/sdb -partitions 5 -relative -register  I can't do it without sudo, but when I try to add it to the existing vm i get a VERR_ACCESS_DENIED error...  couldn't get any help in #vbox... maybe someone here?
[16:19] <ActionParsnip> tapan_chugh: run: sudo lshw -C sound | grep product       websearch the line to find guides
[16:19] <jabirali> nikitis: I think it is better  to install the nvidia driver through the normal package manager though, unless you absolutely need the newest nvidia driver
[16:20] <stodorovic> anyone able to get iwl3945 wifi to work in WPA environments at all since about 9.04? I keep getting "Association request to the driver failed" + https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/429246
[16:20] <justin22885> i just opened grub, types find /boot/grub/stage1, not found
[16:20] <scratchme> Hi All.  When I connect all my drives to my server, then install Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Server grub won't install right.  I think it's because it doesn't handle the # of drives in the system right.  If I disconnect hardware, it works again.  I have 29 SCSI devices.
[16:20] <guntbert> juanca: what host OS do you use?
[16:20] <jabirali> nikitis: If you use the installer from nvidia.com, you have to recompile the driver manually every time you upgrade your kernel.
[16:20] <nikitis> jabirali, i need it
[16:20] <private_meta> The Ubuntu Update manager that should show I've got new updates as some kind of indicator, or that should show that I should reboot because of kernel upgrades, what could be the reason it doesn't come up at all?
[16:20] <maco> stodorovic: yes, mine works in 9.10. i havent upgraded that machine to 10.04 yet
[16:20] <yenoh> anyone knows how to get the source for "ubuntu-text" plymouth plugin?
[16:20] <nikitis> jabirali, i
[16:20] <nikitis> jabirali, i'm fine with that.
[16:20] <jabirali> nikitis: OK. You haven't upgraded the kernel since you last installed the nvidia driver then?
[16:21] <andeeeuk> kerebrus: do you know how to get the envyng-qt program working in ubuntu 10.04?
[16:21] <maco> yenoh: apt-get source <packagename>
[16:21] <_pg__> grub how i loath thee
[16:21] <smiley979879> I just installed the netbook edition of 10.04 on my hp mini 311...is there anyway to set it up so that when I close the lid the laptop does not suspend?  I looked in the power management settings...I want the netbook to stay on when I close the lid
[16:21] <besa> any body here know anything about UNIX systems
[16:21] <kerebrus> andeeeuk sudo aptitude install envyng-qt install it then restart comp
[16:21] <besa> pleze
[16:21] <andeeeuk> i heard it doesnt work on the latest ubuntu release
[16:21] <nikitis> jabirali, would upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04 count?  I think it's using a new kernel
[16:21] <guntbert> !ot | besa
[16:21] <yenoh> maco: we don't have the plugin source, there's the binary only
[16:21] <nikitis> jabirali, i had manually compiled it in 9.10 successfully.
[16:21] <ActionParsnip> besa: UNIX in what way, why not ask your real question
[16:22] <stodorovic> maco: uname -r && modinfo iwl3945 | grep ^version:     please? Also do you run gnome or NetowkrManager?
[16:22] <maco> yenoh: even in the source package? O_O
[16:22] <yenoh> maco: yes, I looked
[16:22] <maco> stodorovic: i use kde
[16:22] <jabirali> nikitis: Yup, upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04 means you upgraded your kernel, so you would have to reinstall the nvidia driver afterwards.
[16:22] <smiley979879> I would hop someone here knows about unix...ha
[16:22] <nikitis> jabirali, usually when a new kernel comes out i kill gdm, type sudo sh nvidia-pakage.run and it auto uninstalls and reinstalls new one
[16:22] <VCoolio> private_meta: you mean the icon in the panel? do you have update-notifier in your startup applications?
[16:22] <Wiggly> hi, i have just installed ubuntu 10.04 using the install inside windows option... i can now boot back in to windows fine but when i try to boot Ubuntu i get somthing like "GRUB>" is there some way of fixing this (i have windows 7 if thats any help)... anyone that knows the answer whisper me please and thank you
[16:23] <nikitis> jabirali, i did that already, but they are not working.
[16:23] <nikitis> jabirali, this is why I need help
[16:23] <maco> stodorovic: which bit of that output do you want?
[16:23] <helo> can i install ubuntu onto a blank hard drive using virtualbox?
[16:23] <helo> and then boot it directly
[16:23] <itsme2010> I am using pidgin and how do I make pidgin now to show my IP address?
[16:23] <theadmin> helo: Uhm, no, you'd do a real install for that.
[16:23] <jabirali> nikitis: Yeah, that's the correct procedure alright... Hmm. What is the output of this command: "sudo modprobe nvidia" ?
[16:23] <twig111> My fresh Lucid install won't connect to my Ubuntu One account. When Ubuntu One Preferences tries to log in through the browser, the site recognizes my machine, asks if I want to add it, and when I add the machine, it returns a "can't connect" error. I don't have a clue how to troubleshoot this. Where should I start?
[16:23] <justin22885> can anyone help at all?
[16:23] <stodorovic> maco: hmm. Well I cant even connect if i dont run gnome or kde when following the WPA guides. dmesg just seems to indicate that i cannot associate at all.   the bit that says  version: 1.2.26ks (on mine)
[16:23] <ActionParsnip> Wiggly: you may have to manually run grub stuff to get booted. I havent done this myself but know it can be done. Did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[16:23] <helo> theadmin: no cd, no ubuntu (for usb creator)
[16:23] <scratchme> http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=514976  <== I'm having this problem in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Server.  Any suggestions?
[16:23] <maverick340> my university has a wired and wireless network , but i can t access the windows wired shares when i am on wifi
[16:24] <nikitis> jabirali, went to next $
[16:24] <maco> stodorovic: so /etc/network/interfaces configured with wpa_supplicant syntax doesnt work?
[16:24] <stodorovic> maco: and the kernel version - i wonder if it's a regression in the driver. Funny think is my dad had problems with this and I could never fix it - so had to install Slackware for him isntead of Kubuntu
[16:24] <nikitis> jabirali, no output, just went to next prompt
[16:24] <coll> hello. i was doing an update and it was interrupted.. the machine was shutdown by mistake. now it wont boot. is there a way to recover the OS? maybe reinstalling the OS without formatting the filesystem?
[16:24] <maverick340> while on windows, i can , by directly entering the shared name in run dialog box ( \\sharename0
[16:24] <Gibby13> Got a problem just did a fresh install of 10.04 server, decided to change up my disk schema, and now my computer sees the MBR/Grub on the first disk but it is really on the 3rd, how do i wipe the mbr/grub from the first and 2nd disk?
[16:24] <jabirali> nikitis: That's kind of weird. It means that the nvidia driver is now loaded without problems...
[16:25] <maco> stodorovic: http://paste.ubuntu.com/428357
[16:25] <nikitis> jabirali, yes, this is why i'm here
[16:25] <stodorovic> maco: this laptop is supposed to be "roaming" so it should let the user select which SSID to connect to and let them provide authentication credentials. not hardwired by editing the config file manually
[16:25] <nikitis> because i'm not a noob, and I need real help ;)
[16:25] <itsme2010> I am using pidgin and how do I make pidgin not to show my IP address?
[16:25] <ActionParsnip> coll: boot to live cd and chroot, you can then run: sudo apt-get -f install
[16:25] <nikitis> jabirali, i was using an xorg.conf before
[16:25] <erUSUL> itsme2010: where? in irc ?
[16:26] <maco> stodorovic: but editing the interfaces file can let you test easier
[16:26] <erUSUL> itsme2010: ask for a cloak in #freenode
[16:26] <nikitis> jabirali, i don't understand how ubuntu works without an xorg.conf file anymore
[16:26] <andeeeuk> did anyone get the ati drivers working with ubuntu 10.04?
[16:26] <maco> stodorovic: to rule out network manager problems
[16:26] <coll> ActionParsnip, following that, my data will remain intact?
[16:26] <jabirali> nikitis: I see :P. What exactly is the problem now then?  You will get my IP address.
[16:26] <ActionParsnip> coll: what data?
[16:26] <coll> files that i have
[16:26] <maco> stodorovic: ew. sorry. 367
[16:26] <nikitis> jabirali, yeah, when i logout it crashes and I get the black screen with the option screen to run in low graphics mode.
[16:27] <erUSUL> itsme2010: ok again ask for a cloak in #freenode :)
[16:27] <stodorovic> maco: :) thanks
[16:27] <jabirali> nikitis: It tries to autodetect your hardware with HAL, although it should be possible to force it to use an xorg.conf instead. I did that on my laptop, since my good ol' xorg.conf worked fine :P
[16:27] <jgomo3> I searched for eclipse in the software center and i got the following two results on top: 1) Extensible Tool Platform and Java IDE (eclipse) 2) Eclipse (Integrated developmet enviroment Eclipse). which is the diference?
[16:27] <maco> stodorovic: im copying the url from the other laptop's screen
[16:27] <bobbyyu> Hey, usually how long is a longest file transfer over a LAN?
[16:27] <melter> is there any way to downgrade x11 in 10.04 to an older, functional version?
[16:27] <ActionParsnip> bobbyyu: transfer of what?
[16:27] <balkierode> what will happen if i cancell a install process in ubuntu software center? will that resume later?
[16:27] <itsme2010>  erUSUL: What if I want to chat in other than freenode and what is cloak?
[16:27] <bobbyyu> Say a 911MB file
[16:27] <erUSUL> !dwongrade | melter
[16:28] <erUSUL> !downgrade | melter
[16:28] <ActionParsnip> bobbyyu: what speed is the link?
[16:28] <bobbyyu> I don't know. 10/100
[16:28] <melter> ubottu: i don't want to downgrade ubuntu
[16:28] <stodorovic> maco: hmm interesting. Your kernel is slightly older than mine.
[16:28] <nikitis> jabirali, how would i go about telling it to use xorg.conf?
[16:28] <ActionParsnip> bobbyyu: and is it consistantly 10/100 or does the speed cange in places?
[16:28] <DarkStar1> Is ext4 fully supported in Lucid or should I stick to 3
[16:28] <maverick340> can i access wired shares using wireless ?
[16:28] <nikitis> jabirali, i prefer it anyways as I can manually customize nvidia features
[16:28] <maco> stodorovic: yeah i dont use that computer much so havent installed updates
[16:28] <Wiggly> ActionParsnip: MD% is 100%
[16:28] <bobbyyu> I think it ranges
[16:28] <scratchme> bobbyyu: 911MB would normally go 1-1.2MB/sec for 10Mbit, 10-12MB/sec for 100Mbit, and 30-125MB/sec for 1Gbit.
[16:28] <theadmin> DarkStar1: It's fully supported ever since Karmic :/
[16:28] <erUSUL> itsme2010: then you will have to ask in the other's network support channels. ip visibility is inherent to irc nothing a client (pidgin) can do
[16:28] <Wiggly> MD5*
[16:29] <melter> DarkStar1: stick with ext3 if you can
[16:29] <DarkStar1> theadmin: thanks
[16:29] <scratchme> http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=514976  <== I'm having this problem in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Server.  Any suggestions?
[16:29] <erUSUL> itsme2010: you can use something like tor too (if the irc network allows it)
[16:29] <stodorovic> maco: your is 2.6.31-16-generic and mine's 2.6.31-21-generic    i wonder if that makes the difference. But I think those would be ubuntu patches for the kernel...
[16:29] <DarkStar1> melter: why?
[16:29] <coll> ActionParsnip, will that format the filesystem and reinstall the entire OS?
[16:29] <rabidweezle> (if you wanna meet the man behind ubuntu, goto #ubuntu-classroom, he's answering questions)
[16:29] <ActionParsnip> Wiggly: good, remember to check BEFORE using the data. I'm guessing by the time you only just checked it now
[16:29] <besa> hi people
[16:29] <erUSUL> itsme2010: try to find out my ip and you will se what a cloak is ...)
[16:29] <nibbier> nikitis: there should be some X.log.0 or however it was called. and check dmesg|tail
[16:29] <maco> stodorovic: right
[16:29] <ActionParsnip> coll: no, it will just continue the upgrade
[16:29] <Wiggly> ActionParsnip: lol yes but either way its fine :P
[16:29] <erUSUL> nibbier: nikitis /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[16:30] <besa> i want to know how to back up my linux system
[16:30] <bobbyyu> So how long would the lowest possible setting be?
[16:30] <coll> ActionParsnip, thanks.
[16:30] <ActionParsnip> Wiggly: thought so, MD5 test first in future, bad ISO wil make a bad install
[16:30] <bobbyyu> for a 911MB file?
[16:30] <erUSUL> !backup | besa
[16:30] <stodorovic> is there any way to tell what sets of patches were applied to a vanilla kernel to make it a ubuntu -xx-generic kernel ?
[16:30] <besa> my system is xubuntu
[16:30] <Gal> besa: what do you mean?
[16:30] <ActionParsnip> bobbyyu: about 15 mins is my guess
[16:30] <jabirali> nikitis: One moment, I'll go check my config ;)
[16:30] <qwerty_guy> how do i move window buttons to right?
[16:30] <bobbyyu> Because I'm getting over an hour
[16:30] <twig111> Why doesn't my fresh Lucid install connect to my Ubuntu One account? When Ubuntu One Preferences tries to log in through the browser, the site recognizes my machine, asks if I want to add it, and when I add the machine, it returns a "can't connect" error. I don't have a clue how to troubleshoot this. Where should I start?
[16:30] <qwerty_guy> this is so irritating
[16:30] <itsme2010> erUSUL: Thank you for the information.
[16:30] <erUSUL> !controls | qwerty_guy
[16:30] <Wiggly> ActionParsnip: thanx noted for future
[16:30] <erUSUL> itsme2010: no problem.
[16:31] <erUSUL> itsme2010: asking fo a cloak is quick and easy
[16:31] <nikitis> erUSUL, says Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module.  Please see the system's kernel log for additional error messages
[16:31] <ActionParsnip> bobbyyu: http://www.seabreezecomputers.com/tips/filexfer.htm   gives some speed numbers
[16:31] <Gibby13> anybody?
[16:31] <erUSUL> nikitis: dmesg | grep -i nvidia
[16:31] <ActionParsnip> twig111: is it fully updated?
[16:31] <onetinsoldier> qwerty_guy: i know of theme that has them on the right by default.. the Shiki-Brave theme
[16:32] <rafaelsoaresbr> does anyone knows how to discover where grub2 is installed?
[16:32] <qwerty_guy> please make the right side default next time
[16:32] <qwerty_guy> its so irritating
[16:32] <itsme2010> erUSUL: Do we have any command to ask for a cloak
[16:32] <CloudLevi> ActionParsnip: ......WHY is Thunderbird called "Shredder"???? >>;;;
[16:32] <onetinsoldier> qwerty_guy: i know of theme that has them on the right by default.. the Shiki-Brave theme. do --> apt-cache search shiki-brave
[16:32] <nikitis> erUSUL, says nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.
[16:32] <ActionParsnip> rafaelsoaresbr: sudo fdisk -l   the asterisked partition will be the one
[16:32] <ActionParsnip> CloudLevi: its pre-release
[16:33] <twig111> ActionParsnip: I think so. It hasn't worked since I installed the RC, and I've fully updated it since release.
[16:33] <besa> what mean by Happy hake!
[16:33] <hamzaatova3> how can i broadcast audio from my pc to my stereo wirelessly?????????????
[16:33] <qwerty_guy> onetinsoldier, i already moved them to the right
[16:33] <CloudLevi> ActionParsnip: 3.0 is too...
[16:33] <coll> ActionParsnip: the one on the machine is 9.10. can i just download the 10.04 and boot off that one?
[16:33] <onetinsoldier> qwerty_guy: ok, roger
[16:33]  * helo disapproves of the word "taint"
[16:33] <erUSUL> itsme2010: just go to #freenode and ask (politely) for one. a " Hi network staffers i would like to request an unaffiliated cloak for myself; thank you very much in advance » shoud be enough
[16:33] <jabirali> nikitis: I think this is the relevant part: Section "ServerFlags"
[16:33] <jabirali>     Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
[16:33] <jabirali> EndSection
[16:33] <ActionParsnip> CloudLevi: http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/3.0a3/
[16:33] <justin22885> i guess no one can help me
[16:33] <guntbert> qwerty_guy: this is no place for complaints - no developpers here
[16:34] <ActionParsnip> coll: sure if you want
[16:34] <CloudLevi> ActionParsnip: named Shredder, I mean...they're both called Shredder...when the one I downloaded straight from Mozilla was Thunderbird... =/ (I downloaded it but I don't know how to install it-
[16:34] <nikitis> erUSUL, http://fpaste.org/cEOD
[16:34] <juanca> gunbert: I'm using Ubuntu desktop as host and Server as guest (Lucid)
[16:34] <erUSUL> itsme2010: you have to set up your nick (register it etc ...)
[16:34] <ActionParsnip> twig111: log a bug then is all i can suggest. I dont use ubuntuone. its worthless to me
[16:34] <rafaelsoaresbr> ActionParsnip: Sure? Good to know that it's installed on root partition.
[16:34] <juanca> I'm tring to use a special vmdk virtual disk with VirtualBox, pointing to an existing partition using: sudo VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename /media/Chica/repos.vmdk -rawdisk /dev/sdb -partitions 5 -relative -register  I can't do it without sudo, but when I try to add it to the existing vm i get a VERR_ACCESS_DENIED error...  couldn't get any help in #vbox... maybe someone here?
[16:34] <juanca> I'm using Ubuntu desktop as host and Server as guest (Lucid)
[16:34] <CloudLevi> ActionParsnip: oh crap... seems it wasn't "not installed" before...it just doesn't WORK with the Indicator Applet!!!
[16:34] <stodorovic> maco: i'm installing 2.6.31-16-generic and will reboot with thaty
[16:34] <twig111> ActionParsnip: Whoa. Now I have 58 MB of updates waiting, and I just updated day before yesterday. I'll see if the updates fix it.
[16:34] <itsme2010> erUSUL: No I have't. So I am trying to setup one
[16:35] <ActionParsnip> CloudLevi: its alpha, it will have bugs. You could always run it with alltray ;)
[16:35] <maco> stodorovic: and im installing updates. we'll see what happens :P
[16:35] <erUSUL> nikitis: dunno could be that you have to versions of the nvidia driver installed ?
[16:35] <erUSUL> !register | itsme2010
[16:35] <CloudLevi> ActionParsnip: 3.0.4 is too? What is Alltray anyway?
[16:35] <nikitis> erUSUL, how do i clean my installation of installs?
[16:35] <qwerty_guy> guntbert, where can i get devs?
[16:35] <erUSUL> itsme2010: this is getting to offtopic. please "/join #freenode" more help there. thank you
[16:35] <renegaid> i tried looking at a netflix video and it said streaming is not supported by your operating system
[16:35] <guntbert> juanca: you can use the <tab> key to autocomplete nicks
[16:35] <jabirali> nikitis: could you by the way also post /var/log/Xorg.log.0.old in pastebin?
[16:36] <erUSUL> nikitis: it all depends on how did you installed the drivers ...
[16:36] <nikitis> erUSUL, manually
[16:36] <stodorovic> maco: :)
[16:36] <rafaelsoaresbr> ActionParsnip: So if I install windows grub is not going to be overwritten.
[16:36] <twig111> ActionParsnip: All I want UbuntuOne for is for the music store. For everything else, I use Dropbox. Why would I use a file sync service that is bound to one OS?
[16:36] <erUSUL> nikitis: using the run from nvidia's site ?
[16:36] <ActionParsnip> CloudLevi: lets you run any app (except terminal afair) and it will minimise to the tray, you can also add some extra swithes to give a key combo to show / hise the app (sexy)
[16:36] <juanca> guntbert: thank you, how about my problem?
[16:36] <nikitis> erUSUL, yes
[16:36] <CloudLevi> ActionParsnip: I just want it to work with the indicator applet DXX
[16:37] <guntbert> qwerty_guy: you *could* file a !bug - but as far as I know that has been a decision "from the top" - so not likely to change - and very easy to change yourself :-)
[16:37] <erUSUL> nikitis: only that ? you did not used System>admin>hardware drivers  or installed nvidia-glx or anything else ?
[16:37] <Bennit> haai
[16:37] <pyav> i am not getting volume control icon on the taskbar.any solution?
[16:37] <Bennit> Q about panel buttons:
[16:37] <nikitis> erUSUL, yes i promise, I always manually kill gdm, then run as root nvidia-package.run
[16:37] <nikitis> then reload
[16:37] <Bennit> can you say like "run as a bash script" without writing a real bash/shell script?
[16:37] <Gibby13> how do i wipe just mbr/grub from a disk?
[16:37] <nikitis> erUSUL, except it didn't work this time
[16:38] <erUSUL> nikitis: if you only used the *.run you can uninstall it iirc with « sudo ./filename_etc_*.run --uninstall » or --remove
[16:38] <DarkStar1> Whoopsies!!
[16:38] <ActionParsnip> rafaelsoaresbr: the windows installer will write its bootloader to the drive you install it to, if grub is there now, it will be lost when windows is done and will need to be reinstalled. The settings on the partition will still stand
[16:38] <justin22885> grub stage1 doesnt exist.. what should i do
[16:38] <justin22885> ?
[16:38] <Bennit> I want to use the * notation of bash to denote which file the button needs to open with my program
[16:38] <Bennit> -> a button with a custom command, lets say 'gedit /some/path/*.txt'
[16:38] <nikitis> erUSUL, hmm would that work if i had two versions installed, but only have the later .run package still?
[16:38] <psusi> justin22885: huh?
[16:38] <guntbert> juanca: please paste the output of ls -l  /media/Chica/repos.vmdk
[16:38] <VCoolio> Bennit: try with zenity; install zenity, then do: gedit $(zenity --file-selection)
[16:39] <erUSUL> nikitis: well a new install of the run (i use it too) should clean up the older installs... never failed for me
[16:39] <justin22885> psusi, i cant load ubuntu without having the installation USB plugged in
[16:39] <theadmin> VCoolio: Why would one need to install Zenity? it's there by default
[16:39] <justin22885> im trying to properly setup grub on the hdd so i wont need the usb drive anymore
[16:39] <nikitis> erUSUL, okay i just uninstalled it according to the .run package
[16:39] <nikitis> let me try and manually reinstall it
[16:39] <Bennit> VCoolio: how do I specify my file then? just behind it?
[16:39] <VCoolio> theadmin: oh, that's since 10.04 then? didn't know
[16:40] <erUSUL> justin22885: follow the instructions to recover grub after installing windows ...
[16:40] <theadmin> VCoolio: It was there in Karmic too, dunno
[16:40] <erUSUL> !grub2 | justin22885
[16:40] <progre55> Gal: may I pm you? )
[16:40] <VCoolio> Bennit: the zenity thing will be a file chooser dialog like 'save as' or 'open file' in an app
[16:40] <vangelis> Any ideas why ubuntu 10.04 will not let me log in
[16:40] <vangelis> ???
[16:40] <erUSUL> !details | vangelis
[16:40] <Bennit> that's not really what I want, I think
[16:40] <hamzaatova3> how can i broadcast audio from my pc to my stereo wirelessly?????????????

[16:41] <VCoolio> Bennit: if you want a button to open all txt files in a folder, you can do what you said, gedit /path/to/*.txt
[16:41] <juanca> guntbert: I was trying to create repos.vmdk today, but I have the same problem with respaldos_part
[16:41] <Bennit> naah, doesn't start anything, even tough it starts from commandline
[16:42] <VCoolio> Bennit: but then better use the 'remember open files'-plugin for gedit, don't know what it's called exactly
[16:42] <alonea> ok, in UBR, how do I edit the top panel? I accidentally removed the panel for logging out and am trying to get it back
[16:42] <rafaelsoaresbr> ActionParsnip: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/pVHMeZEY :: I want to install windows to sda1, ubuntu is at sda2. My question is: where is grub installed? If it's in sda2 so great! if it's in MBR it's bad.
[16:42] <justin22885> problem is, if i put my liveusb back in, it just loads the OS
[16:42] <Bennit> VCoolio: it's not with gedit but with squeak, gedit was just to give a straightforward-testable example for everyone :p
[16:42] <kassah> could someone possibly help me fix the ambiance theme on my install... the notification area background doesn't update properly http://will.kassah.net/temp/back.png'
[16:42] <guntbert> juanca: that looks fine enough
[16:43] <ubuntugeekie> hello, can someone say how to install xfree in ubuntu? it is needed for a driver and googling returned no link to download it.
[16:43] <VCoolio> Bennit: what if you prefix the command with bash -c   does it work then?
[16:43] <kassah> http://will.kassah.net/temp/back.png (without the ')
[16:43] <stodorovic> wehat on earth is wrong with grub people or ubuntu people? grub.cfg is supposed to be a config file. it's been turned into a pseudo-shell-script argh.
[16:43] <juanca> guntbert: what can I do then? install vmware?
[16:43] <geekphreak> abhijain: hello, hope you are ok
[16:43] <vangelis> OK. I got ubuntu 10.04, 64 bit. I uninstalled pulse audio and when i restarted it asked me for a password (although it's set not to) and when I typed in my password, authentication failed
[16:43] <abhijain> olpc india and or lug invited for teach school students .
[16:43] <Bennit> nope :)

[16:44] <xinwen> Is there any shortcut to hide all the windows but not current window?
[16:44] <abhijain> geekphreak: iam ok what about you?
[16:44] <nikitis> erUSUL, when i try and run it, i get an error message that says "The distribution-provided pre-install script failed!  Continue installation anyway?"
[16:44] <theadmin> stodorovic: None of our fault, it's all grub devs.
[16:44] <justin22885> how do i set up grub from within ubuntu?
[16:45] <erUSUL> nikitis: never seen such message ... sorry
[16:45] <stodorovic> theadmin: indeed. i just cant seem to find out how to give me an option on which kernel to boot
[16:45] <geekphreak> abhijain: ok

I'm using Ubuntu desktop as host and Server as guest (Lucid).
[16:47] <juanca> .. ls -l gaves me: -rwxr-xr-x 1 ... repos.vmdk
[16:47] <stodorovic> bleh you have to hold down shift
[16:47] <guntbert> juanca: sorry - I have never dealt with that kind of setup - I guess the people in #vbox assumed that you are trying to do something ...hmm... you should not do on that system  - I assume you did read the manual - maybe tell them in #vbox what you really want to accomplish -- they might know another way to the same goal
[16:47] <alonea> ok, in UBR, how do I edit the top panel? I accidentally removed the panel for logging out and am trying to get it back
[16:48] <qwerty_guy> guntbert, i know that but most people are *used* to buttons on the right and its irritating for them to come here to chage it. at least u can add an option in themes or something like that
[16:48] <geekphreak> alonea: try to reset panels
[16:48] <theadmin> ubottu: resetpanels | alonea

[16:49] <Cajun_Lan_Man> Hello all. Does anyone know if there are some effects missing in compiz on 10.04, as compared to Compiz in 09.10?
[16:49] <kassah> that diddn't help my issue
[16:49] <stodorovic> maco: 2.6.31-16-generic fails here :(
[16:49] <Eupator> Hi people!
[16:49] <erUSUL> alonea: right click on it choose add to panel
[16:49] <stodorovic> on a lenovo 3000 n200
[16:49] <ActionParsnip> Cajun_Lan_Man: are they not present in ccsm ?
[16:49] <alonea> geekphreak: is there no app to add stuff to the panel? I think I remember KDE having a list of things you could add/remove. I don't mind resetting, but was just wondering.
[16:49] <theadmin> Cajun_Lan_Man: Not that I'm aware of, but they might remove some due to a few bugs
[16:50] <theadmin> alonea: Right click - Add to panel
[16:50] <guntbert> qwerty_guy: thats why we have the !controls factoid -- end of our possibilities here
[16:50] <kassah> theadmin, is there a way to reset the theme?
[16:50] <geekphreak> alonea: follow erUSUL
[16:50] <alonea> erUSUL: right click on what specificically?
[16:50] <Cajun_Lan_Man> well I don't see the option for 3d windows on the cube, nor do I see the option for the "fire" like effect for window animations.
[16:50] <theadmin> kassah: None that I know of.
[16:50] <nils1> hej folks! is there a separate channel for wifi issues?
[16:50] <geolr> Hi there! With an dist_upgrade are there also changes to the hidden directories e.g. my Thunderbird settings?
[16:50] <Cajun_Lan_Man> most of the options are there, but those are 2 that I have noticed that are missing.
[16:50] <erUSUL> alonea: the panel. an empty area of the panel

[16:50] <ActionParsnip> geolr: no, only the apps are updated
[16:50] <kassah> theadmin, http://will.kassah.net/temp/back.png this provide you any ideas? that's the issue I'm having...
[16:50] <datacrusher> is there a nice app for benchmark on gnome?
[16:50] <JyZyXEL> doesn't the ubuntu install CD have a on-screen keyboard?
[16:51] <theadmin> JyZyXEL: It's normally on same key as \, but you need to hold down Shift.

[16:51] <ActionParsnip> RambJoe: if you run: alacarte    are the items there?
[16:51] <theadmin> JyZyXEL: Hrm. Weirdness. Any normal keyboard would have a pipe symbol
[16:51] <JyZyXEL> i need to find a way to make it somehow
[16:51] <_pg__> how do I fix grub grom live lubuntu gui environment
[16:51] <fasta> Is there a way to input a list of packages via dpkg --set-selections and then get all the 10.04 packages that correspond to them downloaded in some directory?
[16:51] <geolr> ActionParsnip: Thanks, I'll try anyway to copy from my old harddisk to a new one with a clean Lucid install. Thank you!
[16:51] <JyZyXEL> well mine doesn't have a pipe symbol on it
[16:51] <Cajun_Lan_Man> I'm just wondering if maybe some of the effects are video card specific? Or if for some reason they had been taken out.
[16:51] <RambJoe> um
[16:51] <alonea> erUSUL: no finding any blank space. I just get remove panel.
[16:51] <fasta> Or even better: a website where you can get a custom ISO.
[16:51] <ActionParsnip> juanca: chown it to your user
[16:51] <theadmin> _pg__: Just a sec, my blog had an article on dual-booting and recovering GRUB...
[16:52] <nikitis> what is nouveau?
[16:52] <JyZyXEL> i need to find a way to make the pipe symbol somehow?
[16:52] <JyZyXEL> any idea how i could do that?
[16:52] <csna152> Hey has anyone else who has upgraded to 10.4 been having issues with proxys? When ever I run something like sudo apt-get update it comes back saying  Something wicked happened resolving 'us.archive.ubuntu.com:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname)

[16:52] <JyZyXEL> i can't
[16:52] <_pg__> theadmin that is closer to what i need than anything ive found so far. i appreciate it.
[16:52] <geekphreak> Beelsebob:  what error?
[16:52] <Beelsebob>  /var/log/mysql.err and mysql.log are both empty
[16:52] <nils1> this here is too fast for reading for me...
[16:52] <Beelsebob> geekphreak: exactly
[16:52] <nikitis> ActionParsnip, does ubuntu 10.04 try and install that by default?
[16:52] <JyZyXEL> im not on irc from that computer
[16:52] <david_> I have used 'faxdetect=both' in chan_dadhi.conf, is there a command I can add to the dialplan for certain extensions to disable fax detection ?
[16:52] <Beelsebob> geekphreak: init.d/mysql restart just says "fail!"
[16:52] <alonea> erUSUL: ok, here we go. I unlocked it, then moved the divider so there was blank space to right click on.
[16:52] <csna152> Beelsebob: mysql creates error logs /var/log

[16:53] <maco> stodorovic: im rebooting
[16:53] <ActionParsnip> nikitis: its part of a default install along with the other tonne of drivers it comes with
[16:53] <ActionParsnip> JyZyXEL: why can't you copy it?
[16:53] <geekphreak> Beelsebob:  did u make any changes?
[16:53] <JyZyXEL> ActionParsnip: cause im not on that computer
[16:53] <ActionParsnip> JyZyXEL: oooh i see
[16:54] <Beelsebob> geekphreak: I rebooted after successfully installing it and running it
[16:54] <csna152> Beelsebob: if you dont have any databases install that you cant reinstall just do sudo apt-get remove mysql5-server --purge
[16:54] <juanca> ActionParsnip: can you help me with that, I'm afraid I can mess something
[16:54] <csna152> Beelsebob: and then reinstall it .
[16:54] <ofi> uhi
[16:54] <Beelsebob> csna152: I do have databases
[16:54] <RambJoe> ah fixed
[16:54] <RambJoe> i pressed my side mouse button and it aded a + on the end of the file :P

[16:55] <wd4lko> ubuntu 10.10 is on its way already :)
[16:55] <ubuntu_rustrated> my huawei cdma modem still does not work .... that is so disappointing ... it also did not work on karmic.... i mean why bother developing an OS where even widely sold huawei usb modems don't even work.... quality wise ubuntu sucks big time!!
[16:55] <ActionParsnip> juanca: all you need to change is /pat/to/file   $USER will be interpretted as your current user
[16:55] <alonea> erUSUL: do you know the name of the panel that was on the far right with your login name and power symbol?
[16:55] <csna152> Beelsebob: does mysqldump work for you? dump your database to a .sql file and then you should be able to reload it to the database using a "source filename.sql"
[16:55] <DarkStar1> Does/Did anyone have issues installing Lucid from the CD like unrecoverable errors?
[16:55] <Flamekebab> ubuntu_rustrated, you're the first person I've heard using a modem and not a router in three years
[16:55] <theadmin> wd4lko: It will be awesome. Finally. GNOME 3. I sezzit. :D
[16:55] <ActionParsnip> JyZyXEL: http://www.alt-codes.net/
[16:55] <ActionParsnip> oops
[16:55] <ActionParsnip> JyZyXEL: http://www.alt-codes.net/
[16:55] <costre> ubuntu_rustrated, I have used my Huawei back in 8.04 with no problems
[16:55] <FloodBot3> ActionParsnip: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:55] <idbentley> exit
[16:55] <idbentley> \exit
[16:55] <DarkStar1> specifically the 64bit version
[16:55] <JyZyXEL> it doesn't have General ta
[16:55] <geekphreak> Beelsebob: added any users or changed passwords?
[16:56] <_pg__> theadmin: still here?
[16:56] <RambJoe> is it possible to add another menu, like applications, places and systems and then have another one?
[16:56] <theadmin> _pg__: Yes.
[16:56] <Flamekebab> Any ideas why grub would be telling me "unknown filesystem" and how I would go about fixing the issue without booting a CD? (this laptop has a floppy drive, but no disc drive)
[16:56] <ubuntu_rustrated> mine is a wireless usb plug and play internet device
[16:56] <kassah> looks like my only recourse is to reinstall
[16:56] <erUSUL> alonea: indicator applet session or some such
[16:56] <wulfy> ubuntu_rustrated, yes because the devloped the os in direct response to your spefic needs i guess they forgot about your modem
[16:56] <ActionParsnip> RambJoe: did alacarte show the items there?
[16:56] <JyZyXEL> this is the most useless charmap i've ever seen
[16:56] <wulfy> right lads scrap 10.04 ubuntu_rustrated dosnt like it
[16:56] <ActionParsnip> JyZyXEL: you hold altgr and type the number required
[16:57] <RambJoe> yeah thanks i found the error
[16:57]  * Flamekebab chuckles
[16:57] <ActionParsnip> JyZyXEL: therefore not useless
[16:57] <Beelsebob> geekphreak: yes, changed the root password, and added a couple of users to the dB
[16:57] <RambJoe> i accidently put a "+" on the end of the file
[16:57] <JyZyXEL> ActionParsnip: i don't have an altgr
[16:57] <DarkStar1> Flamekebab: The floppy is dead. Long live the floppy!! :D
[16:57] <costre> ubuntu_rustrated, Mine is a Huawei E220
[16:57] <Flamekebab> ubuntu_rustrated, serious question - how come you use a modem over a router?
[16:57] <_pg__> theadmin: i am triple booting on osx. my hdd is like EFI-OSX-UBUNTU-200mb free buffer- Windows 7
[16:57] <alonea> erUSUL: ok, thanks
[16:57] <ActionParsnip> JyZyXEL: then you are  really stuffed
[16:57] <ActionParsnip> JyZyXEL: i'd gra a different keyboard
[16:57] <ActionParsnip> *grab
[16:57] <theadmin> _pg__: OSX... Oh god... :/ I never used that.
[16:57] <erUSUL> alonea: no problem
[16:57] <_pg__> theadmin: so where can i safely install grubn to?
[16:57] <Flamekebab> DarkStar1, yeah. I've swapped its internal hard disk with a 16GB SD card but it's having a few issues at the moment
[16:57] <_pg__> theadmin: no one has!!! lol
[16:58] <geekphreak> Beelsebob: just to be on the safe side backup /var/lib/mysql
[16:58] <Flamekebab> I originally installed the OS onto the card from a VM, then put in the machine. It worked fine and then suddenly stopped booting
[16:58] <JyZyXEL> why don't we have a damn on-screen keyboard
[16:58] <DarkStar1> Flamekebab: what issues?
[16:58] <theadmin> _pg__: Basically, your Linux hard drive's bootsector...
[16:58] <JyZyXEL> ud think there was something as basic as that
[16:58] <JyZyXEL> but no
[16:58] <_pg__> theadmin: how can i list my partitions so i can make a best guess where to put it
[16:58] <_pg__> ?
[16:58] <Flamekebab> So now I'm trying to figure out what the hell is wrong with Grub. It's saying "unknown filesystem" but booted fine under a VM
[16:58] <geekphreak> Beelsebob: dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.1 <<replace with version you got
[16:58] <theadmin> JyZyXEL: Uh. I think I saw something like that somewhere
[16:58] <andeeeuk> ati drivers are not installing on ubuntu 10.04 any ideas anyone?
[16:59] <ActionParsnip> !info gok | JyZyXEL
[16:59] <ActionParsnip> JyZyXEL: just because you dont know something exists doesn't mean it doesnt at all
[16:59] <geolr> JyZyXEL: try to run the screen keyboard tool called onboard, click the AltGr key.
[16:59] <Beelsebob> geekphreak: still fails to start
[16:59] <_pg__> how do i list my partitions in terminal?
[16:59] <_pg__> so i can guess where to put grub
[17:00] <_pg__> :'(
[17:00] <geekphreak> _pg__:  sudo fdisk -l
[17:00] <erUSUL> _pg__: sudo fdisk -l
[17:00] <DarkStar1> Flamekebab: I wouldn't install an OS via a VM ever!!
[17:00] <JyZyXEL> why isn't it on the application menu?
[17:00] <ActionParsnip> !info onboard | JyZyXEL
[17:00] <ActionParsnip> !info matchbox-keyboard | JyZyXEL
[17:00] <Flamekebab> DarkStar1, as if I had much choice
[17:00] <ActionParsnip> JyZyXEL: because its not installed
[17:00] <JyZyXEL> it is
[17:00] <JyZyXEL> by default
[17:00] <geekphreak> Beelsebob: did system crash, abrupt crash, powerfail?
[17:00] <JyZyXEL> and its not on the menu
[17:00] <wulfy> Flamekebab, how come you had to do it that way?
[17:00] <Flamekebab> The floppy disk net-install no longer seems to exist for Ubuntu
[17:00] <ActionParsnip> JyZyXEL: so gok is a default app?
[17:00] <fasta> ubuntu_rustrated, I managed to get my wireless USB device dongle to work, it was fairly easy.
[17:01] <wulfy> Flamekebab, how about a pxeboot install?
[17:01] <ActionParsnip> JyZyXEL: because this default install doesn't have one
[17:01] <Pici> JyZyXEL: File a bug if you think onboard should be in the menus my default.
[17:01] <theadmin> JyZyXEL: gok is not installed by default
[17:01] <Flamekebab> wulfy, I've never managed to get a pxeboot install working
[17:01] <ActionParsnip> JyZyXEL: sudo apt-get --reinstall install gok
[17:01] <JyZyXEL> my thoughts exactly
[17:01] <fasta> ubuntu_rustrated, if you actually want to have it solved, you write a bug report, but I am fairly certain I would be able to make it work.
[17:01] <skinnymg1> good day everyone
[17:01] <Pici> ActionParsnip, theadmin: onboard is installed by default, its part of the ubuntu-desktop task.
[17:01] <wulfy> Flamekebab, yeah there a pain in the arse but they allowed me to get a server up and running as my drivers had died
[17:01] <Flamekebab> I did get it working via my VM method and things were fine. I'm unsure if it's a hardware issue
[17:01] <theadmin> Pici: onboard != gok
[17:01] <geekphreak> Beelsebob: cd /etc/mysql , how many my.cf files you see?

[17:03] <castle`> if anyone thinks they can help please /msg me
[17:03] <DarkStar1> Flamekebab: can you pick up the SD on the bios?
[17:03] <wulfy> Flamekebab, vm hardware isnt a copy of your current hardware its a predifined set of virtual hw, kinda like ghosting a os from one system to another and woundering why theres no drivers working
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> castle`: make a batch file to do what it takes to run the game, then make a launcher to run the script :)
[17:03] <geekphreak> Beelsebob: lol wierd dpkg-reconfigure, did not , umm oh well computers eh?

[17:03] <maco> stodorovic: it works
[17:03] <snakekgb22> i want the one from 9.10
[17:04] <erUSUL> _pg__: grub by default goes in the mbr of the first disk in boot order
[17:04] <stodorovic> maco: lucky you. doesn't work here.
[17:04] <geekphreak> Beelsebob: anyways have fun
[17:04] <DarkStar1> Flamekebab:  Also wulfy is right. That's what I wanted to say earlier but didn't know how to word it as I have little VM experience :D
[17:04] <_pg__> erUSUL: plese see my output. i am a special case im afraid
[17:04] <Flamekebab> wulfy - I set the VM to closely mimic the laptop specs and as much as you're telling me it won't work, the fact of the matter was that it did work.
[17:04] <stodorovic> i'm tempted to drive home, get my laptop (which has same wifi) and give it a go. I think that has slackware and ubuntu 8.10 on it
[17:04] <erUSUL> _pg__: paste is failing for me righ now ...
[17:04] <wulfy> DarkStar1, indeed im a very visual wording type of person :D
[17:05] <Flamekebab> I'm going to check the bios in a sec
[17:05] <_pg__> erUSUL: sudo fdisk -l give me this output http://www.paste.ubuntu.com/428380/ where can I safvely put grub?

[17:05] <wulfy> Flamekebab, it will work in a seanse... it will fall back to generic drivers where a os install tunes as much as possible to your current hardware

[17:05] <Stormcr0w> Hi everyone, fresh installation of 10.04, 64 bit, I cannot get my DVD-RW to work (They do not automount, when I force auto-mount by adding lines to fstab, the system does not recognise they're there). Any ideas?
[17:05] <geekphreak> _pg__: will look
[17:05] <DarkStar1> Flamekebab: if you can pick up the sd in your bios there's no reason why you cant dock a usb optical drive and install
[17:05] <_pg__> sudo fdisk -l give me this output http://paste.ubuntu.com/428380/ where can I safvely put grub

I resolved this problem by following a fix that I saw online, and the fix worked and managed to solve my problem. The original problem was that whenever I would attempt to 'apt-get install xyz' I would recieve an error about fglrx (not quite sure what it was now). After performing the fix I turned the PC off and went to b

[17:24] <SealedWithAKiss> Stormcr0w, I don't know how to do that. Could I mount the partition from the CD and then copy the data to something like an SD card?
[17:24] <geekphreak> erUSUL: its wierd, upgrade cant chane partition type , ummm
[17:24] <noobert> yeah i was thinking maybe xubuntu?
[17:24] <_pg__> is what i did-and it killed everything
[17:24] <Zathras> noobert, probably you are running kde or gnome now. Not a good idea
[17:24] <noobert> or kubuntu? or elive? im havinga hard time choosing
[17:24] <MrKeuner> how should I connect a X11VNC server running on <IP_ADDRESS>
[17:24] <Zathras> NOT kubuntu: KDE is bloated
[17:24] <noobert> i was running gnome
[17:24] <Stormcr0w> SealedWithAKiss: When you start your computer from the LiveCD, it will look like a normal desktop. You will be able to access any drive. Then you just need to browse to the location where your data is saved and copy it over.
[17:24] <erUSUL> geekphreak: dunno; i've never used an apple computer an do not know the tricks they use to enable other os's to install
[17:25] <_pg__> erUSUL: rEFIt
[17:25] <noobert> i know i need to run kcfe or whatever
[17:25] <andeeeuk> eppers jeepers I have a simple support question with no answers, surely someone has some idea
[17:25] <SealedWithAKiss> Stormcr0w, oh I see. Well I'm using the Live CD now. I'll give that a go.
[17:25] <z3r0-c001> so dont update do the full ugrade?
[17:25] <Zathras> noobert, so install that...
[17:25] <geekphreak> erUSUL: sure is wierd mate, i dont like apples anyways
[17:25] <SealedWithAKiss> Stormcr0w, I'm going to lose so much though. My applications, my configurations, themes, and more....
[17:25] <noobert> well idk witch is better, x, k, or elive
[17:26] <littlepenguin> sealed with a kiss..but this should bring you a backup nearer d.
[17:26] <noobert> whats elive like? i read it looks better but is it gnome, or what?
[17:26] <z3r0-c001> i wasx told if you update you dont have to upgrade but it dont make sence
[17:26] <matthewbpt> hey everyone, can anyone help me confirm a bug in lucid, it's to do with aac playback, certain aac files do not play properly in Lucid, when they played perfectly in Karmic, and play perfectly in Arch and windows and my ipod https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/575798
[17:26] <guntbert> andeeeuk: as has been suggested earlier: please state your complete question (all in one line, without abbreviations)
[17:26] <andeeeuk> i have an ati graphics card and cannot get it working in ubuntu 10.04, it previously worked in 9.10 but cant get it working anymore, if anyone knows how to get this sorted it would be great?
[17:26] <geekphreak> _pg__: good luck mate
[17:27] <wulfy> noobert, with your hardware config your likely not gonna have any eye candy at all
[17:27] <DarkStar1> SealedWithAKiss:  still there?
[17:27] <noobert> i know right
[17:27] <wrapster> if i want german lang support on my machine.. how to i check for tht?
[17:27] <SealedWithAKiss> DarkStar1, yup.
[17:27] <andeeeuk> there seems to have been a problem with the upgrade
[17:27] <Stormcr0w> SealedWithAKiss: Well, your applications can be re-downloaded from Synaptic and I am sure you can google the location of themes on the drive so you can save those. But a new install is always time-consuming. You will have to gauge between how much time it will take you to fix your current one (including looking for answers) and how much time it will take to re-install and re-configure
[17:27] <noobert> that pretty much sux
[17:27] <lastelement0> hey all, how can i disable tapping the corner of my touchpad from pasting?
[17:27] <wulfy> noobert, so you need to go more for userbility and look for a lightweight gui
[17:27] <littlepenguin> wrapster system->language spport
[17:28] <guntbert> z3r0-c001: sudo apt-get update only updates the database of apt - it doesn't change anything else in your system - after that you need sudo apt-get update
[17:28] <noobert> i run puppy linux off of flash, but i cant have wireless support with it
[17:28] <SealedWithAKiss> Stormcr0w, I understand. Just a quick question, I can access all of the information on my partition with a password. Does this mean that anybody could come along to my PC, insert a Live CD and browse through the data on my partition without any authentication?
[17:28] <noobert> and puppy linux is so gay lokkin
[17:28] <wulfy> SealedWithAKiss, yes
[17:28] <SealedWithAKiss> Stormcr0w, without*
[17:29] <littlepenguin> sealed therefor u use encryption
[17:29] <guntbert> SealedWithAKiss: if you didn't encrypt it: yes
[17:29] <wulfy> SealedWithAKiss, only way around that is take steps like prevent booting from cd securing pc case and hard drive encryption
[17:29] <SealedWithAKiss> wulfy, doesn't that strike you as worrying?
[17:29] <z3r0-c001> how long should the full upgrade take
[17:29] <VCoolio> noobert: compile e17 from svn, will take a while; or try to pimp openbox with xcompmgr
[17:29] <wulfy> SealedWithAKiss, indeed but thats the nature of the beasr
[17:29] <wulfy> beast^
[17:29] <Stormcr0w> SealedWithAKiss: Not particularly. We are talking about access to a physical device.
[17:29] <Slart> SealedWithAKiss: when someone has physical access to your computer you'll need some very crafty security measures to keep them out
[17:30] <DarkStar1> SealedWithAKiss: Ok since I don't know how much damage could have been done with the fix you implemented I would recommend you re-install the fglrx packages then try re-installing the latest drivers for your GPU
[17:30] <SeySayux> Hey, where'd the "insight" package go in 10.04?
[17:30] <Hovefirse> Hi folks.I solved my window manager problem by installing fusion-icon, which allowed me to reload the manager. Now, every time i reboot the computer I'm back in a situation without a window manager. How do  I automagicallyload it?
[17:30] <littlepenguin> slart some kind of big electronic magnet and a indiana jones like trap to activate ;d
[17:30] <z3r0-c001> i should need to reboot afterward right
[17:30] <wulfy> littlepenguin, lasers ftw!
[17:30] <andeeeuk> no support forum, think thats what it should be called. Fundamental errors with graphics cards in ubuntu
[17:30] <SealedWithAKiss> Stormcr0w, I understand. It's a unneccesary security risk anyway. Authentication should be implemented, so that mounting can't be peformed without a password.
[17:30] <Bert-> Hi here
[17:31] <littlepenguin> *g wulfy
[17:31] <Slart> littlepenguin: hehe.. spears and rolling boulders =)
[17:31] <littlepenguin> yes slart that would be fine :d
[17:31] <andeeeuk> thats for assistance guys
[17:31] <noobert> so i was thinkin xubuntu? how would that run on my peice of shyt pc
[17:31] <Bert-> Does anyone know if there are some issues with intel graphics driver in Lucid ?
[17:31] <andeeeuk> ...........
[17:31] <Slart> noobert: slightly better than ubuntu does
[17:32] <noobert> just slightly
[17:32] <noobert> damn
[17:32] <Bert-> Specially with 3D
[17:32] <Slart> Bert-: It works on my laptop.. I think it has an intel.. g4500 HD or something like that
[17:32] <Stormcr0w> SealedWithAKiss: To be honest with you, if someone has physical access to your machine, even if your partitions are password protected/encrypted or whatever, there are always ways to get hold of the data.
[17:32] <Slart> Bert-: but there are lots of intel graphics cards out there.. it's quite possible that one model works and one doesn't
[17:32] <littlepenguin> storm liek freezing the dimm to get the data like encryption key :d
[17:32] <Pici> SeySayux: It looks like it was dropped from debian, and therefore dropped from Ubuntu as well.  See http://bugs.debian.org/566579 for more information.
[17:33] <Slart> noobert: the difference isn't that big.. no
[17:33] <noobert> thats what i thought, thats why i was asking
[17:33] <noobert> so what do u think would be best
[17:34] <AAA_awright> Can't Ubuntu just decide on a UI theme and stick with it? How do I move back the window buttons?
[17:34] <SeySayux> Pici: "As no one seems to be interested in using it..." -- Hi, my name is nobody. I'm using insight.
[17:34] <Bert-> I use intel driver on a 845G integrated. 2D works fine. I can run glxgears (slow framerate around 1500). If I try to launch a 3D game (chromus-bsu in my case), I have a black screen, then I hear the gdm startup sound, but screen stay black. From a console, I restart GDM, hear the same sound, but screen stays black, I have to reboot

[17:34] <matthewbpt> I've made a drop of a sample file which doesn't work in karmic http://drop.io/lwx4fgt

[17:34] <blendmaster1024> sebsebseb besbesbes!
[17:34] <Stormcr0w> Right, guys, can anyone help me with 10.04 not mounting/recognising my DVD-RWs? I've got dmesg, lshw, fstab available, if required.
[17:34] <Pici> SeySayux: Looks like no one is maintaining it either, thats a big issue.
[17:34] <bastid_raZor> geekphreak: morning
[17:34] <AAA_awright> bastid_raZor: That answers the latter question
[17:34] <andeeeuk_> gooodaye
[17:35] <littlepenguin> aa wright in system settings apperiance
[17:35] <SealedWithAKiss> Stormcr0w, I'm copying the data over now. Would you be able to go through a couple of things with me? When I begin the new installation how will I tell the installer to write the installation over my previous one?
[17:35] <matthewbpt> doesnt work in lucid i mean
[17:35] <Bert-> I can't enable 3D effects in gnome
[17:35] <SeySayux> Hmm... Does anyone know a good graphical frontend for gdb then?
[17:35] <littlepenguin> bert graphics driver activated
[17:35] <littlepenguin> ?
[17:35] <Bert-> littlepenguin, you mean use of "intel" in xorg.conf ?  yes.

[17:36] <Pici> !who | z3r0-c001
[17:36] <Stormcr0w> SealedWithAKiss: When you reach the point where the installer recommends a partition, do not go with the recommendation, but choose yourself (I believe this is the last/advanced option)
[17:36] <jon234> ubuntu 10.04 is great
[17:36] <aetaric> my pointer won't change...any ideas? it happened after i installed kde4 as a second desktop enviornment
[17:36] <jon234> recommend an upgrade
[17:36] <SealedWithAKiss> Stormcr0w, I always have problems with drivers for my graphics card as well. The last time I peformed a clean installation it took me about 2 days to get Compiz working correctly with my card.
[17:37] <jon234> though there are problems with the graphics card settings
[17:37] <Pici> aetaric: Its a known bug.  see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/459647

[17:37] <antonio_> scanimage -L ......?
[17:37] <SealedWithAKiss> Stormcr0w, I know that it sounds like I'm moaning, but this is like the second clean installation in a few months because of distribution upgrades. Perhaps Linux just isn't for me.
[17:37] <Stormcr0w> SealedWithAKiss: This is a post-installation issue, not much you can do at this point
[17:37] <jon234> maybe someone else has there graphics card working in ubuntu 10.04?
[17:38] <Stormcr0w> SealedWithAKiss: That is a distinct possibility, my friend. Consider your options carefully.
[17:38] <helo> jon234: i doubt many people are using 10.04 without a working graphics card...
[17:38] <n8w> is possible to direct an output from htop into a file?
[17:38] <noobert> my gfx card works with it but ubuntu runs like shit on mine
[17:38] <Pici> z3r0-c001: Upgrade to a new release of Ubuntu? Or upgrade the packages within your release?
[17:38] <Pici> noobert: Please mind your language here.
[17:38] <Stormcr0w> SealedWithAKiss: I have abandoned Ubuntu several times when I found that I was wasting too much time trying to getting it to work on my setup.

[17:38] <noobert> i have an old school 256 radeon like 9500

[17:39] <jon234> i havent been able to get the drivers installed
[17:39] <noobert> you have to get the python pakage and all that
[17:39] <Pici> z3r0-c001: What version of Ubuntu are you running currently
[17:39] <stodorovic> right. kubuntu 8.10 cannot associate with WPA AP
[17:39] <stodorovic> will try other distros
[17:39] <andeeeuk> wohh cool im having the sme problem
[17:39] <SealedWithAKiss> Stormcr0w, Windows just works. Linux loves doing things the hard way, and until the OS becomes more user friendly, it's never going to be able to compete with commercial OSs such as Windows.

[17:40] <andeeeuk> i havent found a solution yet
[17:40] <MrKeuner> can I get a list of applications that I have installed myself? I am wondering which packages I am keeping are not installed by the default installation
[17:40] <Pici> z3r0-c001: Oh, then all you need to do is: sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[17:40] <Stormcr0w> SealedWithAKiss: Ubuntu also just works - apparently not on all systems, which is why we both are here...
[17:40] <stodorovic> this is ipw3945
[17:40] <z3r0-c001> thnx
[17:40] <jon234> i have checked on google and cant find a solution
[17:40] <andeeeuk> same here
[17:40] <MrKeuner> Or better yet, can I revert back to the set of default applications by uninstalling the ones installed later.
[17:41] <Stormcr0w> SealedWithAKiss: There are millions of users out there who have pretty decent Ubuntu setups.

[17:41] <SealedWithAKiss> Stormcr0w, I have had pretty decent Ubuntu setups in the past too. Sometimes I'm sailing along without a care, loving Ubuntu and everything that it does for me, and then BAM! Stick that in your pipe and smoke it Mr. Windows Man
[17:42] <jon234> its interesting you can get it working, what does the error say?
[17:42] <SealedWithAKiss> Stormcr0w, re-installation.

[17:50] <mickster04> helo: humm...no idea,,what happens when u try and boot off the hdd
[17:50] <CogitoErgoSam> Guest57448:  Does your bios allow you to move usb devices up in the boot order ahead of the hard drive with grub?

[17:51] <stodorovic> bye

[17:52] <viliny_> have a nice one #ubuntu, heading back under the hood :)
[17:52] <helo> for some reason, the installation never asked me what drive i wanted grub installed on
[17:52] <CogitoErgoSam> adios viliny_
[17:52] <michaelxq> CogitoErgoSam, i've download adobe reader and don't know how to install.
[17:52] <helo> it told me it was installing on /dev/sda, but it did not
[17:52] <mickster04> helo: yeah, and if you boot off first hdd what happens, i assume the blinking belongs to the fourth hdd
[17:52] <helo> mickster04: it boots into the debian install that is on that drive
[17:52] <wulfy> helo, it does when your doing the install after partions
[17:52] <CogitoErgoSam> michaelxq:  Ubuntu should come with built in libraries to read pdf's
[17:53] <Pici> andeeeuk: What does the command    lshw -c display    say regarding your video card?
[17:53] <CogitoErgoSam> michaelxq:  If you wanted to use a different one, there are a lot better ones out there than adobe's too
[17:53] <helo> wulfy: not if you are installing onto a spare blank drive... it only asks where to install grub if you are installing onto a partition inside a drive with another OS
[17:53] <mickster04> helo: is grub installed on the debian system? to boot it up, cos trying to do a update-grub in terminal in the debian set up may make it discover the fourth hdd ubuntu set up...i'm sorry if you have tried this....
[17:53] <michaelxq> CogitoErgoSam, what do you propose?
[17:54] <wulfy> helo, it does :) under the advanced button
[17:54] <andeeeuk_> Pici: Radeon HD 2600XT thats the card I have

[17:54] <helo> oh bah
[17:54] <helo> i can't even mount the partition in lenny because of ext4 :/
[17:54] <helo> i guess ih ave to reinstall
[17:54] <Pici> andeeeuk_: one moment.
[17:54] <wulfy> helo,  it gives you a summary of what its going to do and has a advanced back forward button this is where you alter the boot loader options
[17:54] <mickster04> helo: why do u want grub twice?
[17:54] <CogitoErgoSam> michaelxq:  you could check with "dpkg -l | grep evince"
[17:54] <andeeeuk_> Pici: ok thanks
[17:55] <peterkls> anyone get ubuntu 10.04 to install successfully using raid0 fakeraid?

[17:56] <c3l> Im having serious issues with wine and my display, each time a wine program (even winecfg) loads, my screen goes black for up to 5 seconds, how do I fix this? (running 2 screens)
[17:56] <Pici> andeeeuk_: If you go to System>Administration>Hardware Drivers   do you have the option to enable anything?
[17:56] <Stormcr0w> DarkStar1: DVD-RWs (2 in number) will not automount. I forced mounting in fstab, but still no joy
[17:56] <helo> mickster04: i just want grub once... but ubuntu's grub must be used
[17:56] <michaelxq> CogitoErgoSam, Thank you!!
[17:57] <mickster04> helo, ok so install grub onto the first hdd then it can boot everything?
[17:57] <CogitoErgoSam> michaelxq:  Was it missing?  Got it working now?
[17:57] <Stormcr0w> DarkStar1: When they have media in them during startup, they throw error messages in dmesg. I know they both work in Windows and OS X
[17:57] <andeeeuk_> Pici: no it just comes up completely blank
[17:57] <perlmonkey2> With the latest update, I can't open gnome-terminal's options.  What is the hotkey to get to the menu items?
[17:57] <Stormcr0w> DarkStar1: And used to work in 9.10
[17:57] <helo> mickster04: that's what the installer said it was doing
[17:57] <andeeeuk_> Pici: i cant see anything there at all
[17:57] <DarkStar1> Stormcr0w: aaahhh you're the one with the tri-OS boot options :)
[17:58] <toyman61> Do I have to install Sun-Java 6 on Lucid 64-bits ?  Problems with starting the applet in our "netbank" application in the browser..
[17:58] <Stormcr0w> DarkStar1: Indeed
[17:58] <SealedWithAKiss> Stormcr0w, I haven't began just yet. I'm going to eat and then start the installation. I have backed everything up so it's all good to go now. I have a feeling I'm in for a long night getting my system back to the way it was. Thanks for your help though, it's really appreciated!
[17:58] <Pici> andeeeuk_: Hrm..  That driver should support the 2600xt.  Let me check again though.
[17:58] <conma> Stormcr0w: dvd not mounting in gnome?
[17:58] <Stormcr0w> SealedWithAKiss: You're very welcome and good luck.

[17:59] <DarkStar1> Stormcr0w: Ok I wish I could help now.. I was having installation issues so I'm currently in a livecd session and my installation attempt just finished so I gotta restart now
[17:59] <helo> mickster04: last message was "installing grub onto /dev/sda1", but when booting from /dev/sda1... oh, maybe bios isn't booting from sda1
[17:59] <CogitoErgoSam> rbellamy:  Do you mean like the first x number of results?
[17:59] <andeeeuk_> Pici:  yeah, i have looked through that also and it should support it
[17:59] <Stormcr0w> DarkStar1: Ok, hopefully you can help later. I'll be around.
[17:59] <rbellamy> CogitoErgoSam, yeppers... that's what I'm looking for
[17:59] <mickster04> helo: yeah, i think that may be what is happenin
[17:59]  * helo jsut hosed his debian grub install trying update-grub after ubuntu install :()
[17:59] <coldfire> when i boot my computer the boot screen resolution is incorrect until the login screen appears is there a way to correct it?
[18:00] <Hypnoz> rbellamy: find . -name test | less
[18:00] <haavaros> I am unable to load module fuse. Error message tells me it doesn't exist. How do I install it?
[18:00] <CogitoErgoSam> rbellamy:  I'll check the man page for find, but you could always pipe the results to less
[18:00] <Stormcr0w> coldfire: This is a known bug with some nVidia and ATI cards.
[18:00] <surgy> hi
[18:00] <_pg__> erUSUL: hey!
[18:00] <mickster04> coldfire: i recommend startup manager, it can help you with that kind of thing. there is also a text file you could uedit manually, but startup manager is easeir
[18:00] <rbellamy> Hypnoz, CogitoErgoSam, outstanding.... thanks to both of you
[18:00] <rbellamy> ...also, I'm trying to install a i386 package into an x86_64 system for development... how do I do it without stepping on the x86_64 package files?
[18:00] <CogitoErgoSam> rbellamy:  or pipe it to head
[18:00] <DarkStar1> Stormcr0w: before I bow out I would suggest you view their device info and make sure that they've been assigned UUIDs and that their entryies in the fstab file is valid
[18:01] <coldfire> mickster04: where do i find it?
[18:01] <Stormcr0w> DarkStar1: Are you referring to the lshw?
[18:01] <_pg__> erUSUL: I installed gparted on the live lubuntu session and i mapped out my whole drive!
[18:01] <CogitoErgoSam> rbellamy:  the "head" and "tail" commands take a standard input and allow you to get the lines from the start or end of it
[18:01] <CogitoErgoSam> !head
[18:01] <CogitoErgoSam> hmm
[18:01] <andeeeuk_> Pici: dont worry about it, i think i have some other errors with it at the moment that need to be sorted
[18:01] <surgy> I have an acer aspire one running UNR and i have a bluetooth quick button on my keyboard. yet the unr bluetooth program says no bluetooth adaptors present
[18:02] <andeeeuk_> having problems installing applications :s
[18:02] <CogitoErgoSam> rbellamy:  If you use "head" or "tail" the parameter to set the number of lines returned is -n <numberoflines>
[18:02] <mickster04> coldfire: which?
[18:02] <rbellamy> CogitoErgoSam, yep, I hadn't even thought of using those... and more of a side note, I would be wondering next whether I could use those to pipe only a certain number of files that represented a max total size...
[18:02] <conma> Stormcr0w: my dvd rw sometimes become "broken", not recognized and not mounting... last time dvd+rw-format -blanc /dev/dvdrw helps
[18:02] <Hazel-> how can i load the ath5k module during the alternate installation?
[18:02] <perlmonkey2> Well this sucks, since the latest update, None of the hotkeys work and the menu is hidden in gnome-terminal.
[18:03] <DarkStar1> Stormcr0w: yes and no. I used to use another gui app to view this info but cant remember it atm. since I'm doing a fresh install
[18:03] <Pici> andeeeuk_: okay
[18:03] <rbellamy> my use case is that I've got a directory with 50k+ files in it... and I want to zip < 2.5GB

[18:03] <DarkStar1> \exit
[18:03] <Stormcr0w> DarkStar1: OK.

[18:03] <Stormcr0w> conma: I am sorry, not sure what you mean
[18:03] <bert_> how to know the intel graphic driver version ?
[18:04] <CogitoErgoSam> rbellamy:  Are you sorting by something like the modified date?  So start zipping the oldest files until the folder is under a certain size?
[18:04] <coldfire> mickster04: nm...i found it
[18:04] <surgy> can someone help me?
[18:04] <Hazel-> how can i load the ath5k module during the alternate installation?
[18:04] <haavaros> I can't load fuse module. It doesn't exist. Shouldn't fuse be a part of ubuntu from install?

[18:09] <RyanP> We're using Linux in some schools. I received a complaint about some clip art being inappropriate. I've removed the 'offending' files, but the file names are still showing up in OpenOffice. Is there any way to have it reload the list of files?
[18:10] <Pici> sometux: Have you tried searching for CAD in the repositories yourself? qcad is the only package name I know of off the top of my head.
[18:10] <helo> mickster04: thanks, you've been a great help
[18:10] <sometux> mickster04: do you hear about something called AutoCAD?
[18:10] <barbarella> sometux:I don't know, but find a lot of answers there for your question
[18:10] <purvesh> phinfinity, hey wt ill giv u link

[18:10] <CogitoErgoSam> sometux:  You're not always going to get an answer right away.  There's an app in the Software Center called Misfit Model 3D that shows up if you search for "autocad"

[18:12] <haavaros> I can't load fuse module. It doesn't exist. Shouldn't fuse be a part of ubuntu from install?
[18:12] <Slart> callumacrae: I think there is a channel specifically for ubuntu server but you can ask here too.. make sure you mention that you're using the server edition or people will tell you to click on that or open that menu
[18:12] <mickster04> helo: glad i helped for once

[18:13] <sometux> mickster04: no money, so i will go open source

[18:14] <sometux> mickster04: are you kidding?
[18:14] <simar> AbuMaia,  please help me out

[18:15] <simar> AbuMaia, Actually it is a terminal based application and it recieves parameters ..
