[00:00] <Herazio> Evening again Question: I just deinstalled (with my stupidity) Network-Manager and I found a new wireless dongle which should work but it won't without Network-Manager. My question to you is. How do I reinstall it ? (It doesn't work v ia Synapsis) (PS:. I have no clue how to install programs on Linux O_O)
[00:00] <ttmontoya> hi everybody, cant watch streaming, how do i fix it
[00:00] <ttmontoya> hi everybody, cant watch streaming, how do i fix it
[00:00] <evilbug> wy- desktop and laptop,doesn't matter.
[00:00] <tetrisR> has anyone been getting really jerky online videos
[00:00] <arooni-mobile> how can i install sqllite on ubuntu?
[00:00] <Kirce> tt: go into your firefox addons and disable totem
[00:00] <bouma> hey wy, i just tried suspend i dont have the configuration you mentioned, but my net irc has kept going :P
[00:00] <PovAddict> ttmontoya: repeating your question every minute is not how
[00:00] <evilbug> bloodrock- i want to upgrade to hardy on my macbook pro,you think it's safe as far as ati is concerned?
[00:00] <Starnestommy> arooni-mobile: sudo apt-get install sqlite3 or sudo apt-get install sqlite
[00:00] <PovAddict> arooni-mobile: there's a "sqlite" package, and a "sqlite3" one too
[00:00] <iceolate> prefix i cant google it as i cant get on
[00:01] <ttmontoya> sorry
[00:01] <PovAddict> ttmontoya: plus your question is way too vague
[00:01] <bloodrock> wy hardy automaticly has you even load a restricted driver for ati
[00:01] <Starnestommy> the "sqlite" package is sqlite 2
[00:01] <wy> evilbug: desktops don't bother much because they don't move
[00:01] <PovAddict> "streaming"?
[00:01] <bouma> wy, i guess it just reconnected quickly, but still it was pretty transparent, :))
[00:01] <Prefix> iceolate: That restricted?! lol. Kay, ill find one for you now...
[00:01] <evilbug> wy- i meant as far as driver support goes.
[00:01] <iceolate> prefix cheers, much appreciated
[00:01] <PovAddict> I installed mozilla-plugin-gnash and it gave this error: update-alternatives: unable to make /usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so.dpkg-tmp a symlink to /etc/alternatives/xulrunner-addons-flashplugin: No such file or directory
[00:01] <wy> bloodrock: I had problems with 7.10. Now I installed 8.04
[00:02] <Pie-rate> pulseaudio sucks and is buggy as all hell, how do i get rid of it?
[00:02] <PovAddict> how do I make it install? or, help me get Flash some other way...
[00:02] <evilbug> bloodrock- should i upgrade via update manager or should i do a clean install?
[00:02] <wy> evilbug: thanks. Has ati improved the propriatary driver?
[00:02] <Prefix> iceolate: <IP_ADDRESS>:80
[00:02] <evilbug> wy- i'm still on 7.10 on my macbook pro with ati.i don't have any video issues.
[00:02] <iceolate> prefix trying... cheers
[00:02] <ubuntu_> Someone who has insight on raid in the live installer here? would be awesome
[00:02] <PovAddict> Pie-rate: same way as you get rid of anything else? apt-get remove pulseaudio or do it from synaptic
[00:03] <evilbug> wy- but i want to upgrade to 8.04.
[00:03] <joseph> Hello everyone, I have (surprise) a problem. I stupidly updated with pre-release stuff, and now I'm having all sorts of issues, mostly with user settings. Is there any way to de-update, or am I stuck?
[00:03] <Prefix> iceolate: np, highlight if it doesn't work.
[00:03] <Herazio> no one ?
[00:03] <danand> bouma - if you don't like evolution there should be no problem removing it... just sudo apt-get -s remove evolution .... that will simulate the removal ie just tell you what would be removed if you did that for real... check the list :) ... then if you want to go ahead run the command without the "-s". To see all the evolution packages on your system type dpkg -l | grep evolution. You may want to look at removing some of them too
[00:03] <iceolate> prefix ok
[00:03] <dbusch> serverlist
[00:03] <genii> Pie-rate: asoundconf list    will tell you the name of your soundcard. Then asoundconf unset-pulseaudio <cardname>
[00:04] <wirechief__> joseph cant you just install over it with the final ?
[00:04] <evilbug> Herazio- i can't help but i know your frustration.just give it more time.also try #kubuntu
[00:04] <larryIII> hello
[00:04] <bloodrock> evilbug might be better to do a clean install
[00:04] <evilbug> Herazio- or even #linux
[00:04] <dare> what is main purpose of usr folder because it takes 2/3 size of my disk? Just a explanation if 2-3 words for /usr folder.
[00:04] <evilbug> bloodrock- thanks.
[00:04] <joseph> wirechief - I think its the 8.10 release, I'm using 8.04
[00:04] <PovAddict> dare: all programs are in there
[00:04] <wy> evilbug: every upgrade with break something :P
[00:04] <jrib> dare: a lot of the stuff you install ends up there

[00:05] <dbusch> sorry my mistale I am new in terminal irc
[00:05] <wirechief__> joseph: well the 8.04 is final, you dont have room to test the 8.10 ?
[00:05] <PovAddict> how do I make it install? or, help me get Flash some other way (not nonfree as I'm on amd64)
[00:05] <ChaoticXSinZ> just got irc on my new ubuntu desktop w00t !!
[00:05] <jrib> PovAddict: why not nonfree?  works fine...
[00:06] <ChaoticXSinZ> get regular flash
[00:06] <PovAddict> jrib: no nonfree on amd64
[00:06] <larryIII> I try to disable "visual effects" but the system hangs up and won't go to that tab, it hangs up with pretty much every thing. Somebody know how to disable these visual effects with bash shell?
[00:06] <ChaoticXSinZ> i use it and it works perfectly
[00:06] <jrib> PovAddict: yes there is, install flashplugin-nonfree
[00:06] <Gizmo_the_Great1> any1 here have Atheros Wireless cards? If so, do you have problems with Hardy Heron automatically using it? I keep having to run "/etc/init.networking restart" to get it to connect
[00:06] <PovAddict> jrib: I don't have that package
[00:06] <wirechief__> joseph: 8.04 would be much more stable that the 8.10 right now.
[00:06] <Virtue> how to search for part of word ignoring case ? find, locate doesn't work :/
[00:06] <jrib> PovAddict: ubuntu version?
[00:06] <PovAddict> 8.04 kubuntu
[00:06] <PovAddict> maybe I need to add some repo?
[00:06] <Pie-rate> why the hell was pulseaudio even put into 8.04? you'd think the "long term support" version would use something that isn't made of 100% FAIL
[00:06] <jrib> PovAddict: pastebin your sources.list
[00:06] <danbhfive> larryIII: you could try just removing compiz
[00:07] <PovAddict> http://pastebin.ca/1014170
[00:07] <joseph> wirechief: I have room, but things were working properly with 8.04 and now I'm having issues, so how might I backtrack to a more stable version?  Am I loosing only thumbnails chace or and custom icons their sizes, etc? That folder takes too much space... so... I have to kwnow may I delete it?
[00:08] <jrib> Virtue: search where?  a file?
[00:08] <Virtue> jrib, yea, file
[00:08] <PovAddict> Virtue: inside the files or in the filenames?
[00:08] <theLichKing> smallfoot-: but the viewers are free
[00:08] <wirechief__> joseph oh, you mean 7.04 or 7.10, well thats a users choice, 8.04 has some bugs with audio that users would prefer going back, thats understable.
[00:09] <jrib> Virtue: grep -i some_word some_file
[00:09] <smallfoot-> theLichKing, but the file format is not
[00:09] <Virtue> PovAddict, filename
[00:09] <PovAddict> find -name *word*
[00:09] <Virtue> jrib, oh, thanks
[00:09] <larryIII> danbhfive: I use ubuntu gname and it is not installe dby default cause it is kde?!
[00:09] <jrib> Virtue: for filename:  find -iname '*word*'
[00:09] <genii> !info gnochm | theLichKing
[00:09] <danbhfive> larryIII: jigga wha?  you have kde or gnome?
[00:09] <joseph> wirechief: no, I'm using 8.04, but I checked the option to use "pre-release" updates and am now having issues with firefox and some other programs
[00:10] <Virtue> jrib, okay, thank you
[00:10] <wirechief__> joseph: i have all versions from 6.10 and am currently testing 8.04 but my main distro is kanotix as it is very stable and works with most things.
[00:11] <wirechief__> joseph: i actually use kanotix to install my graphics drivers on all versions of ubuntu, because they simply work.
[00:11] <GaintSura> question: I installed virtualbox the other night, and when I did, after rebooting, I noticed that I now have 2 kernels on my system... a -16 and a -generic on my boot loader.. 1) Is there a way to remove one of them? 2) which one should be removed?
[00:11] <joseph> wirechief: I see, I'll look into that. thanks for your help.
[00:11] <wirechief__> joseph: but for a ubuntu fan you might want to drop back to 7.04 it should be pretty good now
[00:12] <dbusch> quit sleeping
[00:12] <GaintSura> sleep is good
[00:12] <Toaster`> !flash
[00:12] <wirechief__> joseph: ubuntu is always putting new stuff in each release some works but some have bugs, its a testing product mainly
[00:13] <wirechief__> joseph: not sure i answered your question. good luck.
[00:13] <tadzhikaz> !atheros
[00:13] <Toaster`> Question: has anyone had their flash plugin stop working in the past few hours?
[00:13] <GaintSura> tadzhikaz: are you having problems with atheros cards?
[00:13] <tadzhikaz> yes
[00:13] <jotin> how can i get a creative x-fi soundblaster card working?
[00:14] <GaintSura> whats the problem?
[00:14] <wirechief__> jotin check out #alsa channel i heard that x-fi was not supported by alsa but could be wrong.
[00:14] <tadzhikaz> my card atheros ar5007eg
[00:15] <tetrisR> so what linux 8.04 is not a good version to use?
[00:15] <GaintSura> tadzhikaz: I've had problems with that same card on ubuntu, took me a couple of hours but I got it fixed, let me see if I can find the walk through I used... pm me
[00:15] <jotin> thanks
[00:15] <tadzhikaz> but it not work properly
[00:15] <wirechief__> tetrisR: depends on how you use it.
[00:15] <uhriventis> Someone please read my post and if you have any ideas what might be wrong help http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3094354.0

[00:15] <horndude77> I'm having skipping audio with vlc in hardy (streaming video from hdhomerun (udp://@:1234)). If I use totem it works fine. Any thing I can check or try?
[00:15] <theLichKing> what is the difference between installing gcc and build-essential?
[00:16] <tetrisR> minimal stiff i,e watch movies online etc
[00:16] <wirechief__> tetrisR: some bugs have actually been fixed you should search launchpad for bugs
[00:16] <wirechief__> tetrisR: especially ones you think you might have.
[00:16] <Baltazaar> theLichKing: check the contents
[00:16] <Flannel> tetrisR: 8.04 is the most recent stable release, its stable but it was recently released, so there are still bumps that haven't been smoothed out yet.
[00:16] <GaintSura> tadzhikaz: what version of ubuntu??
[00:17] <wirechief__> so if users run into things that dont seem to work right check launchpad with a google search
[00:18] <Virtue> can someone explain me this thing... I loaded existing torrents in Azureus, and instead of seeding them, it's downloading them in the same dir, although files itself are complete and there is not a trace from a copy, which is downliading atm...
[00:18] <tadzhikaz> gaintsura, then i had ubuntu 7, i configued my card and it worked fine, but on ubuntu 8 work not so good...
[00:18] <SeaPhor> ChaosTheory_, do you play Chaos Theory on Ubuntu?
[00:18] <Ash908> My system keeps freezing up and not responding to the mouse and stuff. (it goes away but it's still annoying)
[00:19] <Ash908> It's also been freezing all the way down to the kernel.
[00:19] <ricanelite> i'm using Ubuntu Hardy and it has Firefox 3 Beta 5 installed by default. Is it possible I could go to the later version of Firefox that was on Ubuntu 7.10 Gusty?
[00:19] <Flannel> ricanelite: install firefox-2
[00:19] <Byron1> Is there a chat for discussing problems with updating to 8.04
[00:19] <RyanPrior> ricanelite: If you'd prefer to use Firefox 2 for now, install the firefox-2 package.
[00:19] <Flannel> Byron1: you're in it
[00:19] <Prefix> ricanelite: Down load it, its Firefox2 that was in gutsy
[00:19] <ricanelite> download it from Firefox's website?
[00:20] <matthew> A new version of Wine comes out every so often? Will my Wine auto update or can I go to Synaptic and uninstall and reinstall it or ?
[00:20] <RyanPrior> ricanelite: Nope, it's in the repositories.
[00:20] <GaintSura> tadzhikaz: hang on, let me find the walkthrough I used
[00:20] <wirechief__> Byron1: their are kubuntu-offtopic, users bat around problems there too.
[00:20] <lukehasnoname> Anyone live in Houston, TX?
[00:20] <RyanPrior> ricanelite: You use whichever package manager you are used to - apt-get, aptitude, Synaptic, or whatever.
[00:20] <ricanelite> RyanPrior, do I need to remove Firefox 3?
[00:20] <Byron1> Yes but there is quite a bit of talk here hard for someone like me to follow
[00:20] <Baltazaar> theLichKing: GCC is the GNU Compiler Collection, build-essentials is a list of commonly needed components to build software...
[00:20] <RyanPrior> ricanelite: Nope, you can have both Firefox 2 and 3 installed at once.
[00:20] <ricanelite> really
[00:20] <ricanelite> nice
[00:20] <wirechief__> Byron1 join me there
[00:20] <Flannel> lukehasnoname: try #ubuntu-texas
[00:21] <tantradnya> matthew: if you enable updates in System-> Resources then it will ask you for update automatically
[00:21] <theLichKing> ok.. i did a simple program and it didn't compile.. it says error: stdio.h: No such file or directory
[00:21] <uhriventis> I live in houston
[00:21] <theLichKing> this is a fresh install of ubuntu studio
[00:21] <Flannel> matthew: The wine in the ubuntu repositories will not have major version updates (just bugfixes), however winehq has their own repository, which is fairly good, and stays up to date.
[00:21] <^Tech-Help^> Ive found with firefox 3 and 2 installed on 8.04, problems getting any extensions to install. so i had to uninstall 3, and go with firefox 2
[00:21] <theLichKing> should i install build-essential
[00:21] <RyanPrior> theLichKing: You'll need to install build-essential
[00:21] <theLichKing> ?
[00:21] <GaintSura> tadzhikaz: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=662877 <-- Let me reboot in to ubuntu so I can send you the needed files.

[00:22] <Flannel> !anyone | lgc
[00:22] <RyanPrior> !anyone | lgc
[00:22] <tadzhikaz> ok GaintSura
[00:22] <theLichKing> ok.. but including gcc in the distribution without the most basic header files is too stupid
[00:22] <tetrisR> actually thats an issue for me, when i uninstalled my firfox 3 i could not install addons and plungins on firefox 2
[00:22] <ricanelite> ^Tech-Help^, samething I'm going thru right now
[00:22] <Baltazaar> theLichKing: you don't need to, but, it probobly is the easy way out. stdio.h is a basic part of the C library

[00:22] <clee-saan> hi, how do i list processes in order to be able to kill them ?
[00:22] <lgc> Flannel, RyanPrior, I wish everyone was as efficient to provide ANSWERS.
[00:22] <^Tech-Help^> ricanelite  im pretty sure everyone will if they use 8.04 that is
[00:22] <RyanPrior> clee-saan: ps
[00:23] <Flannel> theLichKing: gcc is included for other languages, not C
[00:23] <Flannel> lgc: We can't provide answers until you ask the questions.
[00:23] <theLichKing> Flannel: good point
[00:23] <Ash908> clee-saan, top is a nice for monitoring and killing processes in a ternimal
[00:23] <lgc> Flannel, for example, the day before yesterday you didn't even reply to my salute.
[00:23] <RyanPrior> lgc: We hear those "anybody know..." questions all day, so we're good at typing !anybody :-)
[00:23] <Flannel> lgc: If you'd prefer, I'll say: "Yes, I am familiar with grub, and I'm sure other people are too"
[00:23] <mattgyver83> Hi room.  Has anyone setup a wiimote under linux before?

[00:24] <elwood> lol
[00:24] <Flannel> Baltazaar: eh?  An average user has no use for compiling, there's no reason to include it
[00:24] <Ash908> I'm sorry I'm being vague but I have no clue what
[00:24] <Baltazaar> GCC compiles C, C++, Fortran, Ada, even Java via GCJ
[00:24] <Ash908> i hate you, enter key.
[00:25] <randal> i have the avent windows avigator and whenever i log of or restar my computer it disapears
[00:25] <clee-saan> thanks Ash908
[00:25] <ttmontoya> how do i config my video card through terminal
[00:25] <randal> i have the avent windows navigator and whenever i log of or restart my computer it disapears
[00:25] <RyanPrior> Like I said, lots of "anybody" questions. That's what, 5 in the last minute? :-)
[00:25] <lgc> Flannel, since I migrated to a bigger disk, GRUB completely ignores my Windows install.
[00:25] <Baltazaar> Flannel: he was trying to compile a program's source code...
[00:26] <RyanPrior> randal: Easy to solve, luckily. Just add it as a Gnome "session". (System -> Preferences -> Sessions)
[00:26] <Flannel> Baltazaar: right, and build-essential will do that for him, whats the issue?
[00:26] <RyanPrior> !repeat | randal
[00:26] <Flannel> lgc: Alright, what do your partitions look like, and what does your menu.lst look like?
[00:26] <randal> ok
[00:26] <Ash908> My system has been acting weird in that it will stop responding to input on the desktop and the entire system has been freezing, even the kernel, and I have to hold the power button. (I'm sorry I'm being vague but I have no clue what is wrong)
[00:26] <Fritzel> how can I change my hostname? I've tried  several times with the hostname command but it just doesn't want to stick
[00:26] <randal> How do i remove one of my pannals
[00:26] <lgc> !paste
[00:27] <Baltazaar> just for PITA's sake
[00:27] <arno> leave
[00:27] <RyanPrior> Ash908: Does dmesg say anything funny?
[00:27] <Flannel> !hostname | Fritzel
[00:27] <randal> How do i remove one of my pannals
[00:27] <tetrisR> randal - usually a right click will do the trick
[00:27] <BubbleTea> How Do i update wine ?
[00:27] <randal> oh
[00:27] <randal> lol
[00:27] <Fritzel> thank you
[00:27] <Ash908> RyanPrior, let me check...
[00:27] <randal> tetrisR:  how do i get it back if i want it back
[00:27] <RyanPrior> randal: Right click it and choose "Delete this Panel"
[00:28] <Myrtti> randal: you were already once told to be patient and not to repeat.
[00:28] <Flannel> RyanPrior: right click near the top/bottom of the screen and "add panel"
[00:28] <Ash908> RyanPrior, i can tell compiz is not running right...
[00:28] <randal> Myrtti:  im not repeating
[00:28] <Flannel> randal, that was for you
[00:28] <Ash908> RyanPrior, no.
[00:28] <Ash908> RyanPrior, and i can't run dmesg when the kernel freezes.
[00:28] <BubbleTea> How Do i update wine ??
[00:29] <BubbleTea> For newest version
[00:29] <RyanPrior> Ash908: any pattern to when the freezes happen?
[00:29] <MachinTrucChose> !rdp
[00:29] <MachinTrucChose> !remotedesktop
[00:29] <RyanPrior> BubbleTea: Either compile it from source, or grab the latest debian package from their website.
[00:29] <MachinTrucChose> anyone know how I can connect to a Windows machine, without installing VNC servers on Windows?
[00:29] <MachinTrucChose> The machine has Remote Desktop incoming connections allowed
[00:29] <Flannel> RyanPrior, BubbleTea, don't compile it from source.  If you want a newer version, add the winehq repositories
[00:29] <RyanPrior> MachinTrucChose: Samba ought to let you connect to Windows shares.
[00:30] <Ash908> RyanPrior, ...for the kernel freeze, when changing workspaces with compiz on.
[00:30] <MachinTrucChose> ryan: not Windows shares, I want to control the desktop
[00:30] <MachinTrucChose> I've already got Samba up :)
[00:30] <tetrisR> I have a new question how can I perform a terminal command like "shutdown +50" (a timer for pc shutdown that way i dont have to switch my pc off manually at night) but with 1 click, so that my father or someone who has no clue how to use a computer is able to just use the command
[00:30] <RyanPrior> Flannel: compiling Wine from source is a perfectly legitimate way to acquire the software.
[00:30] <kitche> MachinTrucChose: use RDP protcol which the gnome desktop sharing program has in it I believe
[00:30] <Ash908> RyanPrior, otherwise it might just be compiz. but the inital login (first login after boot) seems to hang for awhile before resizing the desktop.
[00:30] <RyanPrior> Flannel: Many people prefer not to use the repository because it often slows down apt-get update.
[00:30] <barfman_> in xchat, how do i have it put timestamps in the buffer area for the channel caht?
[00:31] <RyanPrior> Ash908: Have you tried disabling compiz?
[00:31] <MachinTrucChose> kitche: it only lets me select a port. I tried 3389, still doesn't connect.
[00:31] <Flannel> RyanPrior: Please try and keep people from ruining their chances of successful upgrades
[00:31] <randal> How can i move the avent window navigator to the top of my screen
[00:31] <Emry> I am working on setting up quotas...  I have quota installed, and quotas enabled for two file systems.  However, the setquota command asks for the quota in terms of blocks and inodes.  How do I find out the size of a block or inode?
[00:31] <Sunx> which restricted driver to install 386 or x86 which type of computers are x86
[00:31] <Ash908> RyanPrior, ...i don't want to disable compiz...
[00:31] <MachinTrucChose> barfman: it's in the Settings
[00:31] <RyanPrior> randal: I don't think that is an option, as far as I know.
[00:32] <randal> is there any program that aloows that
[00:32] <barfman_> MachinTrucChose, only for the logs, not the acutal program itself.
[00:32] <Flannel> Sunx: intel compatable, not 64bit though
[00:32] <lgc> Flannel, http://paste.ubuntu.com/11332/ .
[00:32] <randal> RyanPrior: is there a dif program thats similar
[00:32] <RyanPrior> Ash908: It's still important to know for sure whether Compiz is causing the problem. If disabling Compiz stops the problem, then that gives us valuable information.
[00:32] <RyanPrior> randal: There's Cairo-Dock. It's not quite as powerful, but I think it can go on top of the screen.
[00:32] <MachinTrucChose> barfman: Settings > Preferences . Bottom option is "enable timestamps". It's how my Xchat looks as we speak.
[00:32] <uhriventis> Where can I download older versions of Xserver?
[00:32] <randal> RyanPrior: nvm
[00:32] <RyanPrior> randal: I bet AWN can go on top too, but I just don't think it's a default option.
[00:33] <Emry> Sunx:x86 is pretty much any computer that is based off of initel technology...  If there is not an athlon specific driver then in a lot of cases it will work for amd chips also.  386 is probably not what you want.
[00:33] <Ash908> RyanPrior, well the kernel freeze isn't something that i know how to trigger really...
[00:33] <RyanPrior> randal: There's Cairo-Dock. It's not quite as powerful, but I think it can go on top of the screen.
[00:33] <RyanPrior> oops
[00:33] <barfman_> MachinTrucChose mine is enabled as well, but i see nothing being timestamped, only my logs.
[00:33] <Flannel> lgc: and the output of sudo fdisk -l?
[00:33] <MachinTrucChose> weird
[00:33] <Ash908> RyanPrior, i turned off compiz.
[00:33] <MachinTrucChose> that's the option, I just tried disabling/enabling it
[00:33] <yowsh1> alsa broke
[00:34] <MachinTrucChose> it's supposed to show it on the left of the nicknames
[00:34] <yowsh1> i dont know how but does anyone have the time to help me try anf fix it?
[00:34] <Sergeant_Pony> flannel: I have themed with face browser already activated. could it be something else
[00:34] <GaintSura> tadzhikaz: I am not in ubuntu... something weird just happend
[00:34] <barfman_> in the Chatting/Logging area right?
[00:34] <barfman_> then i have a open data folder.
[00:34] <BubbleTea> Flannel How i add add the winehq repositories?

[00:34] <Calvary> hello?
[00:34] <GaintSura> Anyone know why my wireless suddenly went MIA for no reason... I did not change anything, just had wireless up 2 days ago with no probs
[00:34] <RyanPrior> Ash908: If you still get the kernel freeze with Compiz disabled, then you can probably say it's nothing with Compiz.
[00:34] <simonaG> hi
[00:34] <RyanPrior> !hi | Calvary
[00:34] <Calvary> hey! thanks
[00:35] <tadzhikaz> GaintSura, i tried to configure according to link http://blog.linuxoss.com/2008/05/08/ubuntu-804-enabling-atheros-ar5007-based-wireless/
[00:35] <Flannel> BubbleTea: you're on hardy?
[00:35] <Wubi_Nubi> hi
[00:35] <Sunx> emry: i have core 2 duo 4400 so i would use X86 if i use that restricted driver then i dont need  the nvidia new driver right?
[00:35] <Emry> Sunx: and like Flannel said, not 64 bit... (Of course if you are running the 32 bit version of the OS, then the 32 bit drivers will be needed even on a 64 bit chip)
[00:35] <Emry> yowsh1: How is it broke? What is the error?
[00:35] <tadzhikaz> GaintSura, i think, it is similarly
[00:35] <lgc> Flannel, I actually just added the Windoze part a while ago. It didn't even have it after the 7.10 reinstall.
[00:35] <Wubi_Nubi> I have a question about wubi

[00:36] <salah_> Hi. Is there any ways to make Linux (ubuntu/debian) run extern VGA / DVI / S-Video to be turned on or off without restarting X or the computer? It's really annoying with exiting all applications when switching to VGA/DVI port and restart computer when enabling S-Video
[00:36] <Emry> Sunx: Which version of Ubuntu are you running?
[00:36] <Wubi_Nubi> ok
[00:36] <Emry> .
[00:36] <BubbleTea> Flannel How i add add the winehq repositories?

[00:37] <Virtue> how do I assign all vide file types to VLC ? I couldn't find menu in VLC player, looked everywhere... But I remember doing that on win.,
[00:37] <Wubi_Nubi> how does wubi read the file it creates on an ntfs disk?
[00:37] <Wubi_Nubi> does it now make it slow?
[00:37] <Emry> Sunx: I mean, which platform.  I should have worded it better.

[00:38] <MachinTrucChose> is there a way I can obtain the name of a machine on the LAN based on the IP? I know the IP, I can ping it, but I'd rather save the connection profile with the computer name (eg, "ping kitchenpc") rather than IP, in case it changes

[00:38] <Stonuuq> @Wubi_Nubi - u can install ubuntu like any other win program
[00:38] <emma> Anyone know of any Ubuntu books for Hardy out yet?
[00:38] <vonkwink> emma: there couldn't be
[00:38] <vonkwink> but older books should work just fine.

[00:39] <Yowshi> it gives me audiotestsrc wave = sine freq = 512! some other things resource busy or not available when i try to test alsa
[00:39] <MachinTrucChose> Wubi_Nubi: if you insert a Ubuntu CD while running Windows, and try to install it from there, Ubuntu gives you the option to install without touching your hard drive partitions or Windows configuration. Very, very good idea for newcomers.
[00:39] <Yowshi> emry it gives me audiotestsrc wave = sine freq = 512! some other things resource busy or not available when i try to test alsa

[00:40] <tadzhikaz> GaintSura, ok, i will try it

[00:41] <Flannel> lgc: What does it say when you try and boot windows?
[00:41] <MachinTrucChose> SeaPhor: I just did, and it doesn't give me a name. I get the address, HWtype, HWaddress, Flags Mask, and Iface values, but no name.
[00:41] <lgc> Flannel, nothing. Doesn't seem to see it.
[00:41] <Flannel> lgc: if it doesn't see it, it'll give you errors
[00:41] <RyanPrior> Wubi_Nubi: Ubuntu uses the NTFS-3G driver to mount the NTFS filesystem, then uses a loop-back mount to mount the contents of the Ubuntu embedded filesystem.
[00:41] <GaintSura> Anyone know what would cause my wireless to completely stop functioning, ifconfig/iwconfig does not show wifi0 or ath0.. I installed virtualbox a few nights ago, when I installed it, a new kernal popped up, -16 instead of -generic, which was the original. the -16 does not boot it just sits, and the -generic does not startup my wireless.. any suggestions?
[00:41] <Flannel> lgc: no errors?
[00:41] <Sunx> emry: its 32 bits platform desktop
[00:42] <Emry> Yowshi: Do you have another sound driver running?  Do you get sound from anything?  When the computer starts, does it play a sound when Gnome/KDE/XFCE/whatever you are runnning loads?
[00:42] <SeaPhor> MachinTrucChose, yeah, i did too, hmmm looking,,, had to do reverse,,,,
[00:42] <MachinTrucChose> RyanPrior: not to be condescending but I don't think he's going to know what that means
[00:42] <Yowshi> yeah i get sound from things using esd
[00:42] <Yowshi> asnd the esd test runs

[00:43] <RyanPrior> MachinTrucChose: I tell the whole story, and I'm prefectly willing to clarify any terms he doesn't understand. I usually don't talk down to people - that doesn't help them learn.
[00:43] <lgc> Flannel, no partition-related errors, at least not where I can see. Is there a 'boot log' somewhere?
[00:43] <randal> how do i change your virtual vertical size in Beryl from 1 to 2
[00:43] <cinder> my wireless is really slow at the moment, and there was a command i typed that made it function normal, but i can't find it--any ideas?
[00:43] <aalfa> Hey, excuse me. I've recently updated to 8.04, and I don't know why, but when I try to install the updates I'm provided, the application keeps thinking and does nothing.
[00:43] <aalfa> Does anybody know what it may be?
[00:43] <GaintSura> ]5[: yes you can
[00:43] <Yowshi> emry yeah things that use esd give me sound and the esd test runs
[00:43] <Flannel> lgc: So GRUB doesn't give you errors when you try and boot?  it just... accepts it and continues?
[00:43] <randal> how do i change the virtual vertical size in Beryl from 1 to 2
[00:43] <SeaPhor> MachinTrucChose,    rarp -d ipaddress
[00:43] <RyanPrior> aalfa: What do you do that causes the computer to start thinking?
[00:43] <Wubi_Nubi> hi
[00:43] <uhriventis> Does anyone know how to downgrade xorg from 7.3 to 7.1
[00:43] <Byron1> aalfa is there any details?
[00:43] <MachinTrucChose> seaphor: that deletes it from cache...
[00:43] <Wubi_Nubi> Wubi creates a file on ntfs disk, which it then reads as a file system.  This file exists on ntfs partition.  Does wubi/ubuntu in that boot setup go through some sort of ntfs kernel driver?  wouldn't that make it slow, since you have another driver layer in the middle?
[00:44] <Outie> http://www.mag-murphy.net/temp/arghcompiz.jpg note the window title bars - any idea how I can fix this?
[00:44] <aalfa> ryanprior i'm trying to install the updates
[00:44] <randal> how do i change the virtual vertical size in Beryl from 1 to 2
[00:44] <aalfa> byron1 no, the application doesn't crash. it just keeps on thinking for ever.
[00:44] <lgc> Flannel, Indeed. It acts as if there was no such Windoze entry (actually, the behavior didn't change at all when I added the corresponding lines).
[00:44] <MachinTrucChose> RyanPrior: OK, I think you were right after all :P
[00:44] <Flannel> Wubi_Nubi: this page might help: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/openweekhardy/Wubi
[00:45] <Byron1> aalfa I had that issue when it was trying to upgrade mysql
[00:45] <MachinTrucChose> Wubi_Nubi: there's a slight performance decrease, yes. However, the benefits outweigh the cons if it means getting a person to try Ubuntu riskfree when they wouldn't have otherwise.
[00:45] <]5[> hmmmmmm...can i partition a thumbdrive with any filesystem i want?
[00:45] <SeaPhor> MachinTrucChose,  no, its reverse, with switches,, (options) see http://paste.ubuntu.com/11334/

[00:45] <norbert_> hi all, is there a /free/ Settlers (the one from 2007) like game for Linux?
[00:45] <Flannel> lgc: What?  You're not making any sense.  There is an entry, and when you select it, it doesn't give you an error right?  What does it do afterwards?  just stops?
[00:45] <aalfa> byron1 and could you solve it?

[00:45] <GaintSura> one of my thumb drives is FAT/ext3

[00:46] <randal> #compu
[00:46] <MrSteve> outie -- are you using compiz?
[00:46] <RyanPrior> Wubi_Nubi: the slight performance decrease associated with Wubi is because you aren't using a real bare-metal file system - you're using one filesystem inside another, so each filesystem operation takes extra memory and CPU.
[00:46] <SeaPhor> MachinTrucChose,  yes, -d does delete, sorry
[00:46] <randal> how do i get to the beryl chat thing
[00:46] <GaintSura> afk.... getting cancer
[00:46] <lgc> Flannel, no. It doesn't even let me go to the entry menu. It boots directly to Linux.
[00:46] <RyanPrior> Wubi_Nubi: For that reason, we suggest that you don't try to do any heavy video editing, etc in Wubi - however, in most cases you probably won't notice the slowdown.
[00:46] <Flannel> lgc: Ah! a different issue entirely.  Is this that whole file?
[00:46] <Wubi_Nubi> RyanPrior, Flannel, [21:09] <xivulon> If you wish, you can think of Wubi as a virtual machine that only
[00:46] <Wubi_Nubi> virtualises the hard disk, while keeping everything else native.
[00:46] <Flannel> lgc: since, if it is, you're missing a good bit of stuff.
[00:47] <Wubi_Nubi> so how slow does it make it?
[00:47] <Wubi_Nubi> virtualization is slow
[00:47] <R3Bo0t> has anyone setup red5 0.7 on ubuntu?
[00:47] <randal>  how do i get to the beryl chat thing
[00:47] <Wubi_Nubi> it is indeed going through an ntfs driver layer
[00:47] <randal>  how do i get to the beryl chat thing
[00:47] <randal>  how do i get to the beryl chat thing
[00:47] <Flannel> Wubi_Nubi: Its not very.  Read further, its not virtualization.
[00:47] <Wubi_Nubi> randal do not repeat please
[00:47] <macondo> slash kick randal
[00:47] <RyanPrior> Wubi_Nubi: that's a pretty good quote, I read that too. It is not nearly as slow as true virtualization - only disk operations are slowed.
[00:47] <lgc> Flannel, now that you mention it... you're right. Yes, it's the whole file (plus commented example lines above the important stuff).
[00:47] <aalfa> Does anybody know what may be causing my update manager to keep on thinking when i press install updates, instead of actually installing them
[00:47] <aalfa> ?
[00:47] <MachinTrucChose> Wubi_Nubi: I tried it at work, I didn't notice any speed difference between Native Ubuntu 7.10 and Wubi Ubuntu 8.04 . And the machine wasn't great either (Celeron).
[00:47] <Flannel> lgc: Paste the entire file please
[00:47] <aalfa> I have ubuntu 8.04
[00:47] <iXneonXi> help, I can't install libqt4-opengl-dev. Here's the output. I'm using 8.04 http://pastebin.com/d7fecf1e3
[00:48] <Emry> time outs are annoying...  Did I miss anything?
[00:48] <RyanPrior> Wubi_Nubi: And unless you're doing lots and lots of disk operations, such as compressing or decompressing archives, copying hundreds of files, or doing video editing, you won't notice the slowdown much.
[00:48] <Wubi_Nubi> MachinTrucChose I have a Core 2 3.5GHz + 4GB Ram and I want amd64
[00:48] <Flannel> Wubi_Nubi: Also, you'd probably be best off asking the wubi people (details on contact are in that chat) for details, they know it best.  Especially when you're dealing with those sorts of metrics
[00:48] <Stonuuq> @Wubi_Nubi: is there a problem with running live cd?
[00:48] <Ademan> if i run dpkg-query -S somefilepath  and it says not found, that means that it was installed outside of apt/dpkg right?
[00:48] <Wubi_Nubi> I have two x 15k rpm drives
[00:48] <MachinTrucChose> Wubi_Nubi: what are you planning on using Ubuntu for?
[00:48] <RyanPrior> Wubi_Nubi: with a dual-core processor and 4GB of RAM, the overhead will be very very tiny.

[00:51] <desucca> hello all, I've run in to an issue I can't find seem to put together the right search string to google for, and I appreciate any efforts to help after what is about to be a long-winded question.  I have been running xp and ubuntu as dual boot for a while now on one pc without issue.  I then lost my other pc due to mobo failure so I took the data hdd from the old pc and put it in to my dual boot machine.  now when I boot I get grub erro
[00:51] <gpb> ah, wehre to find THAT?
[00:51] <MachinTrucChose> gpb: Applications > Add/Remove Programs

[00:52] <iXneonXi> someone help me fix this: http://pastebin.com/d7fecf1e3
[00:52] <desucca> it simply says 'Error 22' on my screen.. a google for that number states "22 : "Must load Multiboot kernel before modules"
[00:52] <desucca> This error is returned if the module load command is used before loading a Multiboot kernel. It only makes sense in this case anyway, as GRUB has no idea how to communicate the presence of location of such modules to a non-Multiboot-aware kernel.

[00:53] <Flannel> lgc: From looking at that file, it looks like there's an extra root line (after the comment of other OSs).  Apart from that, what I see without the comments at the top is good.  Your issue is you're never seeing the grub menu, you can either hit escape while booting.  To see the menu always, comment out the hiddenmenu line near the top of the file, which hides the menu at boot.
[00:53] <gpb> i'll have a look

[00:56] <Outie> it's just the decoration that does stuff like that
[00:56] <Outie> and the artifacts change when activating and deactivating the windows again
[00:56] <bluefoxx> i need to get my mouse back, anyone know how i can find out what has grabbed control of it and how i can steal it back?
[00:56] <lgc> Flannel, I mean the mess I made cutting and pasting the file to the paste window.
[00:57] <gpb> in the link it says to install vlc
[00:57] <Emry> desucca: Which drive is the boot sector on where you have grub?
[00:57] <lgc> Flannel, (vi is kind of rebellious for that).
[00:57] <gpb> but there's no vlc package visible in aptitude...
[00:57] <Outie> drivetrax: I don't think this is any kind of intended behaviour ;)
[00:57] <simNIX> I have setup pxe booted cli install - I wonder if I can automate the installing with some kind of answersfile ?
[00:57] <MachinTrucChose> I found two smb.conf files: one in /etc/samba  and one in /usr/share/samba ...which one should I be editing?
[00:58] <drivetrax> Outie,  -- ever install a theme?
[00:58] <simNIX> - /etc/samba
[00:58] <desucca> Emry: I believe it is on the xp drive (1st in sequence)? though I can't say that with 100% certainty
[00:58] <MachinTrucChose> thx
[00:58] <simNIX> np
[00:58] <Outie> drivetrax: yeah, eg. the one I'm using right now
[00:58] <Outie> I've not actually tried switching back to Human, let me try that
[00:58] <drivetrax> Outie,  go in thee and re-check it is set-up what you want
[00:58] <drivetrax> there
[00:59] <Outie> drivetrax: it's theme independent - I've used a custom theme pieced together from clearlooks and an icon set, now I'm using blubuntu
[00:59] <desucca> Emry: grub at least attempts to load when I have the xp hdd 1st in sequence, just tried with the ubuntu hdd 1st and 'disk boot failure'
[00:59] <Outie> both give me the same kind ofa rtifacts
[00:59] <Flannel> lgc: ah, don't worry about it.  If thats the issue, its no big deal, just comment out hidden menu, and delete that extra root line
[00:59] <lgc> Flannel, http://paste.ubuntu.com/11339/
[00:59] <Outie> and, as I said, the effect on the window decoration changes every time I activate and deactivate a window
[00:59] <Outie> and only inactive windows have these artifacts
[01:00] <Outie> switching to Human theme didn't help either
[01:00] <drivetrax> Outie,  right click the desktop .. change background .. then go to tab - visual effects
[01:00] <lgc> Flannel, but maybe that 'hiddenmenu' is the clue.
[01:00] <gpb> is vlc not anymore in 8.04?
[01:00] <Flannel> lgc: thats what is doing it yes.
[01:00] <drivetrax> Outie,  what is that set to.. there
[01:00] <Outie> drivetrax: nothing, since I've customized some plugins with ccsm
[01:00] <Emry> desucca: Ok...  What you may need to do, is boot in with a rescue disk and edit your grub configuration.  Basically, whichever physical disk number you have listed for the two drives, increment them by 1.  I have seen systems force ide drives to the beginning of the list, and the way grub does things is a bit odd.
[01:00] <Outie> however, I've left my hands off the window decoration settings
[01:01] <gpb> ah well, ubuntu seems to have two repos... :(
[01:01] <lgc> Flannel, and what is supposed to happen when I do 'update grub'?
[01:01] <Emry> desucca:  Worst case scenerio, it doesn't work, and you change it back.
[01:01] <Flannel> Emry, desucca, you don't need a rescue disk.  At the grub menu hit 'e' and you can edit the lines
[01:01] <gpb> aptitude repo != synaptic(?) repo
[01:01] <Outie> I'm also getting the Pink Shadows Bug (ie. window shadows are discoloured - usually pink or green, sometimes white) as well
[01:01] <drivetrax> Outie,  -- so you customized your desktop.. and want to clean it up.. go back to the older compiz WM.. and use tha Window Plugin
[01:01] <Flannel> gpb: they're one and the same
[01:02] <Emry> Flannel:  Will the edits become permanent?, or after he gets in, will he need to go in and edit them?  :-)
[01:02] <allbert> i'm sure whoever is using banshee would love it
[01:02] <desucca> Flannel: it doesn't quite get to the menu :)
[01:02] <drivetrax> Outie,  -- yah, compiz ccsm.. sets all that
[01:02] <gpb> then it's strange
[01:02] <Flannel> lgc: Same thing that happens everyime you update a kernel, your menu.lst is recreated based on the comments at the top and the kernels that exist, and then the stuff after the end automagic kernels list line
[01:02] <Outie> drivetrax: the issue persists if I set the effects to any of the standard presets, aside from "none"
[01:02] <Emry> desucca:  Try hitting the e when it gets the error.  :)
[01:02] <gpb> since the Apps->add remove apps finds vlc but aptitude does not
[01:02] <gpb> ah, i see
[01:02] <desucca> oddly enough, on a whim I set the 'new' hdd to 1st in sequence and xp boots without grub? :)
[01:02] <Flannel> Emry: after he logs in, he'll need to make them permanent.  But its good for searching for partitions if you have issues
[01:02] <Outie> drivetrax: the shadow discolouration is not the colour it's set to, and occasionally changes when compiz restarts
[01:03] <gpb> the graphical thingie lists it but says "not for i386" when clicking on it
[01:03] <desucca> Emry, Flannel: thanks! I'll try it out
[01:03] <Outie> as I said, I am quite sure that this is not any kind of intended behaviour
[01:03] <Emry> desucca:  That is probably your XP from the machine that died. hehehe
[01:03] <MachinTrucChose> O_O  Amarok and Rhythmbox....the difference is astounding. It's like Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger
[01:03] <lgc> Flannel, how can I remove entries for old kernels?
[01:03] <Emry> lgc: edit your grub.conf.  :)
[01:03] <danbhfive> lgc: remove the kernel images
[01:03] <drivetrax> Outie - if you use Compiz manager - DCustom - preferences.. a window opens up, right
[01:03] <desucca> Emry: ouch.. good point
[01:03] <Flannel> Emry, lgc, no editing it wont work (and its menu.lst), remove the old kernel packages
[01:04] <Outie> drivetrax: DCustom?
[01:04] <drivetrax> custom
[01:04] <lgc> Emry, it's not just that, but a more elegant procedure, an instructions that does away with all the old kernel stuff, which I can't remember.
[01:04] <Outie> Compiz manager as in ccsm?
[01:04] <drivetrax> yes
[01:04] <Outie> I am in ccsm as we speak
[01:04] <Krimpet> hmm, flashplugin-nonfree seems to crash at randomly for me in hardy so I tried uninstalling it and installing gnash, but gnash has horribly distorted sound... does anyone know what the problem with gnash could be?
[01:04] <drivetrax> ok
[01:04] <Flannel> lgc: sudo apt-get remove --purge linux-image-[oldversion]-generic
[01:04] <Emry> lgc, Flannel: Understood.
[01:04] <BubbleTea> I have a scanner canon and cannot scan with those programs
[01:05] <drivetrax> Outie,  what did you do to the - color setting
[01:05] <lgc> Flannel, 'generic' or whatever, I suppose.
[01:05] <Outie> drivetrax: in what, window decoration -> shadows?
[01:05] <Outie> it's set to black.
[01:05] <Flannel> lgc: what?  You're not running the generic kernel?
[01:05] <Emry> How do I find the size in kilobyts etc of a block or inode on a file system?
[01:05] <drivetrax> Outie,  no.. there is a check box that simply says color - one of the first at the top of that page
[01:06] <Outie> in ccsm?
[01:06] <lgc> Flannel, no, I mean that there are about 4 entries for each kernel version. I suppose one has to do 'apt-get remove --purge' for each entry. Right?
[01:06] <desucca> Emry, Flannel: fyi, 'e' from the error doesn't work.. I'll boot with recovery disk and try editing there
[01:06] <gpb> aqrgh, i HASTE the gnome desktop
[01:06] <Jackault> I can't see my wireless network
[01:06] <gpb> -S
[01:07] <gpb> but what does one not endure for familys friends?
[01:07] <lgc> Jackault, welcome to the club.
[01:07] <SeaPhor> MachinTrucChose,  found it!    nmblookup -A <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:07] <drivetrax> Outie,  - Super + F = filter on, Super + D = screen filtering on Super + S = Switch filter, try those
[01:07] <Flannel> lgc: there should be two entries for each kernel, a regular one, and a recovery console one.  You have to remove each kernel version, yes.  Although you don't have to use apt-get, any package manager will do.
[01:07] <gpb> i can use my wireless network -- on ym eee running debian ^^
[01:07] <gpb> *ducks*
[01:07] <Outie> drivetrax: the colour filter plugin is disabled
[01:07] <vonkwink> I am trying to set up my linksys wusb300N wireless USB N router. i am trying to use ndiswrapper but i am having trouble finding a 64 bit driver, or somehow getting the 32 bit driver to work. Can anyone help me with this?
[01:08] <drivetrax> Outie,  ah, enable it
[01:08] <BubbleTea> I have a scanner canon and cannot scan with those programs
[01:08] <lgc> Flannel, I count 4 entries for the <IP_ADDRESS> version, not two.
[01:08] <gpb> a wireless *router* is standalone, so it needs no driver
[01:08] <Outie> drivetrax: doesn't change the glitchy window decoration or the shadow colours
[01:08] <mikeg3> Can I do anything if I have forgotten my ubuntu username/password?
[01:09] <gpb> or ami completely wrong here?
[01:09] <drivetrax> kk
[01:09] <Krimpet> does anyone here use gnash, or know why its sound output would be garbled?
[01:09] <gpb> mikeg: yes: crack it ^^
[01:09] <MachinTrucChose> SeaPhor: Thanks! That displays the computer name...but what's weird is that I can't ping it (even though I can ping the IP).
[01:09] <Outie> brb, I've just seen that the window decoration plugin was not ENTIRELY at defaults because of the upgrade
[01:09] <MachinTrucChose> but I'm saving that one in my notes wiki :P
[01:09] <Outie> lemme see if setting all options to defaults in that fixed things
[01:09] <Flannel> lgc: Oh!  You have both -generic and -386 installed.  So you have a -generic and -386, two of each.  You should probably remove the -386 assuming -generic isn't giving you errors
[01:09] <drivetrax> ahhhh, ok
[01:09] <jrib> mikeg3: 1) reboot in recovery mode  2) 'ls /home' should reveal your username  3) 'passwd YOUR_USERNAME' will let you set a new password  4) reboot
[01:09] <SeaPhor> MachinTrucChose,  thats in name resolution,,, hmmm??
[01:10] <zeno__> hi im on wireless but i keep getting "network timeout" on webpages, sometimes they load
[01:10] <legend2440> BubbleTea: which model of canon scanner?
[01:10] <lgc> Flannel, I wonder how did the generic one got into my system!
[01:10] <Outie> nope, that didn't help either
[01:10] <Outie> and after an x restart, my shadows are suddenly not white anymore but pink :D
[01:10] <MachinTrucChose> SeaPhor: I see the name, I recognize it, but I can't ping it...I think it might be a cache thing because it attempts to connect to an IP that is differenct, possibly one from my old network
[01:11] <lgc> Flannel, the standard one in Ubuntu is the non-generic one, I gather.
[01:11] <Flannel> lgc: Have you had issues with it?  generic is what you should be running by default, 386 is only still around incase generic makes your processor barf
[01:11] <gpb> is there a source for VLC in ubuntu?
[01:11] <Flannel> lgc: no, the standard is generic
[01:11] <MachinTrucChose> actually, yeah, the IP it's trying to ping is from my old network, before I changed routers. Mus have saved that name.
[01:11] <SeaPhor> MachinTrucChose,  looking for flush dns for linux,,, ,,,,
[01:11] <drivetrax> Outie, -- window decorations.. there is a place to choose shadow color.  mine is none.
[01:11] <saminthemiddle> Hey guys: I need big help here. Is there a program that will create a list of all the possible matches for a regex statement?
[01:11] <lgc> Flannel, doesn't it 'generic' mean plain-vanilla from kernel.org?
[01:11] <Outie> drivetrax: mine is black
[01:12] <Outie> the shadows mess up when *rendering*
[01:12] <Outie> as do the window decorations
[01:12] <Flannel> lgc: no, the generic kernel means its good for all the different arches (k7, 686, 386, etc)
[01:12] <Emry> lgc: Generic means the kitchen sink. :P
[01:12] <RyanPrior> saminthemiddle: Many regexes could have infinite matches, you'd have to support only a subset.
[01:12] <BubbleTea> lide
[01:12] <lgc> Flannel, at what price? Any tradeoff?
[01:12] <RyanPrior> saminthemiddle: In any case, it probably wouldn't be too hard to write such a program.
[01:12] <Flannel> lgc: and it optimizes based on what you're running, as opposed to having separate -k7, -686, etc
[01:12] <saminthemiddle> RyanPrior: yes, but this one doesn't have rinfinate
[01:12] <Flannel> lgc: not really, no.
[01:12] <Flannel> !generic | lgc
[01:13] <drivetrax> Outie,  uh.. besides xorg , the video may be affected by the setting of the gamma, or color of the monitor.. say look at those briefly
[01:13] <Flannel> lgc: Especially considering that the other ones don't exist anymore ;)
[01:13] <lgc> Oh, I see... let me check that.
[01:13] <Outie> drivetrax: nope
[01:13] <allbert> argh! that's cool too, i can play 2 different music streams simultaneaously just like windows
[01:13] <Emry> Flannel: They exist, they are juswt no longer in common use.
[01:13] <allbert> thanks a lot
[01:13] <saminthemiddle> RyanPrior: it's really important as I have forgotten my password and it's a strong password. I know the general form (which is why I can write the regex) but a plain bruteforce wolud take far too long (as in years)
[01:13] <allbert> :)
[01:13] <Outie> drivetrax: there used to be a bug in the Hardy beta that caused shadows to be discoloured
[01:13] <RyanPrior> saminthemiddle: Just tokenize the regex, and then do backtracking through all the possible combinations.
[01:13] <Flannel> Emry: they don't exist in the ubuntu repositories.  Which, for this channel, is existing.
[01:13] <Outie> related to the nvidia driver package and the libwfb module being used
[01:14] <saminthemiddle> thakns RyanPrior
[01:14] <lgc> Flannel, what others? The AMD ones?
[01:14] <Emry> Flannel: That is a slightly different statement.heheheheh :P
[01:14] <Outie> trying the workarounds suggested by the various google hits makes my x crash on startup though :(
[01:14] <drivetrax> Outie,  is 'mipmap' set to On
[01:14] <MachinTrucChose> thanks for all the help seaphor
[01:14] <SeaPhor> MachinTrucChose, np
[01:14] <Flannel> Emry: no, we were talking about the kernel flavors for ubuntu, used to hve -686, -k7, etc, now we just have -generic, the others don't exist.
[01:14] <Outie> drivetrax: yup
[01:14] <RyanPrior> saminthemiddle: If you write the program, will you host it somewhere and send me a link?
[01:14] <Outie> turning it off made the shadows vanish entirely now
[01:14] <Outie> :D
[01:14] <Outie> lemme restart x once more
[01:15] <Flannel> lgc: 64bit also runs the generic kernel (although its a different generic, they're obviously not identical binaries)
[01:15] <saminthemiddle> RyanPrior: sure
[01:15] <saminthemiddle> RyanPrior: I'm going to try to find one that already exists though
[01:15] <RyanPrior> saminthemiddle: Good luck. Google search doesn't turn up much for me.
[01:15] <saminthemiddle> RyanPrior: I'm not really in a position to do any development as I'm on a liveCD :-P
[01:15] <patrickva> My Ubuntu installation won't recognize my 8800GT and it wont boot into the live cd
[01:15] <Outie> shadows are back but pink again, and titlebars on inactive windows are still broken :(
[01:16] <Emry> Flannel: I missread it as to say those architectures don't exist. hehehehe
[01:16] <ricanelite> okay, why when i TRY to install add-ons or extensions onto Firefox 2 in ubuntu linux hardy i'm getting a Firefox could not install the file on every add-on theme or extension i'm getting
[01:16] <patrickva> What's the problem?
[01:16] <RyanPrior> saminthemiddle: gedit + python FTW?
[01:17] <drivetrax> Outie,  uncheck mipmap, and save a session.. then see if x-restart tha same
[01:17] <Outie> drivetrax: have done :(
[01:17] <RyanPrior> saminthemiddle: check out http://www.rulesemporium.com/tools.htm
[01:17] <RyanPrior> saminthemiddle: the one a few items down, "Regex Expander", seems like it could be promising.
[01:18] <drivetrax> Outie,  wha nvidia card? again?
[01:18] <Outie> drivetrax: 8800GTS
[01:18] <BubbleTea> legend2440 lide
[01:18] <Outie> I should note again that this popped up after I upgraded from Gutsy to Hardy
[01:18] <gpb> ARGH
[01:18] <Outie> along with a few other problems
[01:18] <kbrosnan> Emry: start with delteing the extensions.rdf file in a subfolder of ~/.mozilla/firefox/... while firefox is closed
[01:19] <gpb> synaptic "sees" the 'universe' part of the repos, aptitude doesn't
[01:19] <lgc> Flannel, I read that, but I wonder if the generic build is able to cope with SMP, for one.
[01:19] <Emry> kbrosnan: I think you misdirected that.  I haven't been talking about firefox.
[01:19] <gpb> and the same for multiverse
[01:19] <gpb> that's why i searchjed so long
[01:19] <kbrosnan> ricanelite: start with delteing the extensions.rdf file in a subfolder of ~/.mozilla/firefox/... while firefox is closed
[01:19] <demortes> Greetings all, I got an interesting issue... My configure script can't find Lua anywhere, and I installed everything I can think of to make it find it...  checking for lua_newstate in -llua... no
[01:19] <demortes> configure: error: can't find Lua
[01:21] <legend2440> BubbleTea: looks like lide is supported https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsScannersCanon
[01:21] <Flannel> lgc: they can, yes.
[01:21] <zeno__> ping <IP_ADDRESS> 16 packets transmitted, 2 received, 87% packet loss, time 15049ms, what should i try to fix this? im on wireless.
[01:21] <Flannel> lgc: In fact, we ditched -smp specific ones before we consolidated the arches
[01:21] <ricanelite> where do i find the firefox folder under?
[01:22] <^Tech-Help^> its hidden
[01:22] <^Tech-Help^> cntl+H
[01:22] <allbert> under /home
[01:22] <drivetrax> Outie,  -- this your driver?
[01:22] <drivetrax> Version: 169.12
[01:22] <drivetrax> Operating System: Linux x86
[01:23] <ricanelite> kbrosnan, okay i deleted the extensions.rdf file in the firefox folder
[01:23] <Outie> drivetrax: not sure, how do I find out?
[01:23] <Outie> it's the most recent restricted one from the official repos, I know that much ;)
[01:23] <lgc> Flannel, nice.
[01:24] <drivetrax> Outie,  Nvidia-Linux-x86-169.12.pkg1
[01:24] <lgc> Flannel, let me reboot and I'll get back to you.
[01:24] <Outie> found it in nvidia-settings
[01:24] <Outie> 169.12 indeed
[01:24] <drivetrax> http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_169.12.html
[01:24] <drivetrax> kk
[01:25] <omer> how can i play mp3s in windows partiton with amarok from ubuntu
[01:25] <Outie> omer: just add the files like any other music file
[01:25] <Outie> omer: Ubuntu should automatically mount your Windows partition - check your desktop ;)
[01:26] <drivetrax> Outie,  - please check the linux discussion forum http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=14
[01:26] <drivetrax> Outie,  - if Launchpad did not show a bug.., mebe post it on Nvidia forum
[01:27] <drivetrax> e-mail 'em
[01:27] <Outie> drivetrax: I'm thinking this may be a related issue to http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/04/28/workaround-for-pink-shadows-with-compiz/ - but the workaround there causes my xorg to crash and restart every time it tries to start ;)
[01:27] <Outie> yeah, cheers - will do that
[01:28] <Outie> well, by "related" I mean "similar"
[01:28] <omer> Outie:i can not add files in amarok from windows partition,
[01:28] <omer> windows partition looks like locked
[01:29] <MachinTrucChose> when I share a folder through Nautilus, where are those settings written? They're not in smb.conf.
[01:29] <gaintsura> anyone know why virtualbox would cause my wireless to 'vanish?'
[01:29] <RyanPrior> gaintsura: You mean, when you start Virtualbox your wireless stops working?
[01:29] <gaintsura> no
[01:29] <croddy_> what is the proper way to install virtualbox modules for kernel 2.6.24-17-386? i only see -16 in the repos
[01:29] <gaintsura> I installed virtualbox the other day, and between then and now, I've lost all wireless
[01:30] <gaintsura> no ath0/wifi0 in ifconfig/iwconfig
[01:30] <lgc> Flannel, same old s**t. GRUB boots Linux directly.
[01:30] <jack-desktop> how can i resize a partition that im using in gparted?
[01:30] <RyanPrior> croddy_: Nope, you should be able to install for -generic
[01:30] <gaintsura> network manager says wired network only
[01:30] <drivetrax> Outie,  ya know, I have had to physically put .so files in the same directory as a program to get the program to use the file, and see it.. perhaps if you copy libwfb.so  and put it in Nividia, or xorg.. it might see
[01:30] <jack-desktop> gaintsura, i installed virtualbox and my wired internet wouldnt work
[01:31] <RyanPrior> gaintsura: I don't have a ath0 or wifi0 and my wifi works fine.
[01:31] <Krimpet> my wireless always shows up as eth1 on here
[01:32] <gaintsura> RyanPrior: before, I had ath0 as my wireless card
[01:32] <gaintsura> and now its gone
[01:32] <RyanPrior> I don't know what my wireless device is called.
[01:32] <smt> can i get some help with compiz here? (misssing window decoration)
[01:32] <lgc> Flannel, you there?
[01:32] <oldgrizz> Krimpet: are you running a broadcom 43xx wireless chip or card ?
[01:32] <shachaf> How come gnome-volume-manager won't let me configure which program (if any) to use for playing DVDs?
[01:32] <shachaf> It used to be in gnome-volume-properties, but it's not there anymore.
[01:33] <Krimpet> oldgrizz: iwl3945
[01:33] <Arnos> how can I make Linux use my other monitor?
[01:33] <shachaf> (And setting it manually in gconf-editor doesn't seem to work either.)
[01:33] <gaintsura> quite literally, I'm sitting away from my charger because I can only get on ubuntu with a hardline
[01:34] <oldgrizz> Krimpet: never mind
[01:34] <oldgrizz> forget I asked.
[01:35] <eongerth> Just installed xubuntu 8.04: yay!  But although my wireless card and network SSID are detected, and I've supplied my WEP key (yes I know WEP is weak)... still no connection despite 87% signal.  Hmm?
[01:35] <ttmontoya> Im having trouble to watch video streaming how do i fix it
[01:35] <gaintsura> jack-desktop: how did you get your wired network connection  fixed?
[01:36] <lgc> eongerth, did you try 'dhclient eth1'?
[01:36] <RyanPrior> ttmontoya: You asked that earlier today and I already told you, we can't just give you a fix without know what the problem is or any information about your situation.
[01:36] <quietFrank> hi all can someone tell me how to disable wireless ? I have a working ethernet connection but it does not show up on the little connections widget only the wireless
[01:36] <jack-desktop> gaintsura, reinstalled ubuntu ;)
[01:36] <eongerth> This is the first ubuntu that has been able to run on my 1999 Sony Vaio laptop (pentium III 733mhz.. oof) in full screen resolution so I'm stoked to save it from the landfill.
[01:36] <hadees> is ipod-convenience a ubuntu specific package? does anyone know the website and where you can get releases? I am trying to write an ebuild for gentoo.
[01:36] <gaintsura> I'd really rather not ^_^
[01:36] <eongerth> lgc: I wasn't aware of that one, I'll try it in terminal
[01:36] <jack-desktop> gaintsura, i mainly reinstalled because i needed to
[01:36] <hadees> i wasn't sure if the deb was the only way to get the files
[01:36] <Chrysalis> trying to do a bunch of copy/pastes. . . ive already figured out everything is cap sensitive, what about 2 word files or folder. . do i leave empty space or underscore?
[01:36] <ttmontoya> what do you need so you can help me
[01:36] <lgc> eongerth, If it doesn't work, try sudoing it.
[01:36] <gaintsura> I mean, I may be taking a delve into ubuntu... but if it requires that.. I'll just go back to windows
[01:37] <eongerth> lgc: thanx.  In my case it's not eth1, it's ath0 (atheros-powered card by D-Link)
[01:37] <RyanPrior> ttmontoya: How are you trying to watch the video? What isn't working? Are there error messages? Have you done it successfully before?
[01:37] <lgc> eongerth, OK.
[01:37] <legend2440> shachaf: in nautilus edit>preferences>media>dvd video choose program to use
[01:37] <Gohalien> Help: How to minimize or alt-tab wine emulated program ?
[01:38] <shachaf> legend2440: Oh, it moved?
[01:38] <RyanPrior> quietFrank: You can disable wireless by right-clicking on the network manager applet and deselecting "Enable wireless"
[01:38] <spanglesontoast> does anyone know how I can change the sound for download complete on firefox
[01:38] <gaintsura> afk, putting another nail in my coffin
[01:38] <Emry> Gohalien:  If you have it in managed windows, then just like any other program.
[01:38] <iceolate> could anyone be kind enough to give me a public proxy server address? i am having difficulty with my connection thanks
[01:38] <quietFrank> RyanPrior, thats what I used to do on 7.10 but on 8.04 dont have that option
[01:38] <shachaf> legend2440: Since the old settings were still in gconf (and had been changed slightly), I thought it'd just been disabled somehow.
[01:38] <shachaf> legend2440: Thanks, I'll try that.
[01:38] <RyanPrior> quietFrank: It works for me.
[01:39] <Gohalien> Emry, how to set it up as managed window
[01:39] <ttmontoya> I switch from suse to ubuntu and with suse i could watch video streaming but with this one i cant sorry im new to all of this
[01:39] <quietFrank> hmm something seems to be broken
[01:39] <eongerth> lgc: ok, I got "No DHCPOFFERS received."
[01:39] <ttmontoya> sorry if im bothering you
[01:39] <RyanPrior> ttmontoya: What program did you use in SuSE to watch the video?
[01:39] <Emry> Gohalien: I don't remember.  I haven't messed with wine in ages.  ^^::
[01:39] <ttmontoya> vlc
[01:39] <RyanPrior> ttmontoya: Not at all - we're here to help. It's just that we need info in order to be able to do so. :-)
[01:39] <Emry> ^^;;
[01:39] <RyanPrior> ttmontoya: Do you have vlc installed on Ubuntu?
[01:40] <Arnos> How can I make unbuntu use both monitors, I have a nvida card and it only shows the one screen, please help!
[01:40] <ttmontoya> yes
[01:40] <drivetrax> Outie,  in #compiz-fusion?
[01:40] <Outie> drivetrax: nope
[01:40] <RyanPrior> ttmontoya: And what happens when you try to start a stream?
[01:40] <Outie> thanks for the pointer
[01:40] <Slyboots> Hi
[01:40] <meline> bonjour
[01:40] <zeno__> hi when i do sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart i get alot of cryptic messages, (did cause pinging my router loses >50% packets), what could be wrong?
[01:40] <RyanPrior> !fr | meline
[01:40] <zeno__> http://pastebin.com/m4b752ad9
[01:40] <lgc> eongerth, hmm... welcome to the club. I'm surfing for "No DHCP offers received" but I still haven't got it clear.
[01:40] <Outie> thanks for the help so far, too :)
[01:40] <ttmontoya> some times i get sound but the screen stays blank
[01:40] <Slyboots> Having a small issue with VLC and natulius, I keep most of my movie files hosted on another machine over SMB, but when I click on a file inside nautlius VLC cant read it (But totem) can
[01:41] <Slyboots> I think its because its passing on the files location as smb://xxxxxxx and VLC does not understand that
[01:41] <iceolate> anybody know a proxy server address? there are loads out there, i cant use http at the moment to find any myself
[01:41] <eongerth> lgc: thanks -  it was sending DHCPDISCOVER to <IP_ADDRESS>, so I wonder if it's not aware of my router's IP?
[01:41] <Fezzler> What's the command line command to see what is attached to my US port?  dsmger?  dsmr?
[01:41] <RyanPrior> Slyboots: I think that's a known bug. I've heard it before, in any case.
[01:41] <pyrak> i'm about to reformat and reinstall ubuntu from scratch
[01:41] <pyrak> any advice?
[01:41] <Slyboots> Aye but is there any fix? :P
[01:41] <Gohalien> hehe no prob
[01:42] <RyanPrior> pytrak: Back up your important data.
[01:42] <genii> Fezzler: If you just plugged it in,   dmesg             should say something about it on the last few lines
[01:42] <pyrak> RyanPrior, yeah, working on it.  should backing up my home include most of my config files?
[01:42] <RyanPrior> pytrak: I also suggest using the alternate CD so you can set up encrypted partitions with LVM.
[01:42] <lgc> eongerth, I'll keep a vigilant eye if someone offers you a convincing answer that spares us the reading!
[01:42] <RyanPrior> pyrak: Only the config files that matter - ones you've messed with a lot and so on.
[01:42] <ttmontoya> some times i get sound but the screen stays blank
[01:43] <eongerth> ;)
[01:43] <RyanPrior> ttmontoya: I saw your response above.
[01:43] <lgc> eongerth, hopefully noone RTFMs us.
[01:43] <RyanPrior> ttmontoya: Have you tried it with Totem?
[01:43] <Gohalien> Help: How do I kill a task ?
[01:43] <RyanPrior> Gohalien: kill
[01:43] <ttmontoya> yes, same thing
[01:44] <eongerth> lgc: I'll be the first to welcome an RTFM... I used to be a BSD Unix user before 1992, lost my way, finally just getting back around this year
[01:44] <RyanPrior> ttmontoya: Is it a video card problem, perhaps? Can you watch normal movies locally?
[01:44] <lgc> Gohalien, 'pkill -KILL taskname'.
[01:44] <MachinTrucChose> I'm reading up on Unix basics...so non-root users can't see the contents of /sbin? That means they can't run commands like ifconfig, kill, etc?
[01:44] <Gohalien> heh I cant even open terminal, freezed
[01:44] <ttmontoya> no
[01:44] <Fezzler> genii: I've just plugged a USB-to-Serial cable into my USB port.  I'm trying to see what Ubuntu sees it as.   I want to use the terminal to install.
[01:45] <Arnos> could someone please tell me how to get my computer to show dual screens, I an using a a nvida card, before I installed the dirver it showed both screens clones, after I installed the driver it shows only the one screen, how do I make Ubuntu use both screens?
[01:45] <RyanPrior> ttmontoya: Try opening the video in /usr/share/examples or whatever
[01:46] <Gohalien> RyanPrior, how to read a list of processes ?
[01:46] <RyanPrior> ttmontoya: /usr/share/example-content/Experience ubuntu.ogg
[01:46] <RyanPrior> Gohalien: ps
[01:46] <eongerth> lgc: true, that
[01:46] <Gohalien> ty
[01:46] <langley1> anyone familiar with wine issues pls?
[01:47] <RyanPrior> lgc: You *do* have to RTFM for every little thing if you want to be able to troubleshoot your system. That's what the fine manual is for.
[01:47] <RyanPrior> !anyone | langley1
[01:47] <MachinTrucChose> is that what the f stands for...
[01:47] <RyanPrior> !wine | langley1
[01:47] <quietFrnk> RyanPrior, thanks reinstalled the network applet and right click works
[01:47] <CShadowRun> how do i edit the applications menu?
[01:47] <MachinTrucChose> !AppDB
[01:47] <RyanPrior> quietFrank: Oh good. Strange that the applet got screwed up somehow.
[01:47] <genii> Fezzler: Offhand I can't remember but i think something like ttyUSB0 or such
[01:48] <lgc> RyanPrior, yes and no. That's what forums are for. (I hope I'm not breaching the etiquette for dissenting).
[01:48] <MachinTrucChose> what the...judging by that list, people only seem to use Wine for videogames
[01:48] <Fezzler> What command can I give in Terminal that will show how Ubuntu "sees" the USB-to-Serial cable plugged into my USB port?
[01:48] <RyanPrior> lgc: Not at all! However, if you'd like to discuss it, we should take it to #ubuntu-offtopic - you game?
[01:48] <CShadowRun> Anyone? how do i edit the application menu?
[01:48] <pyrak> RyanPrior, can you tell me more about the encrypted partitions thing
[01:48] <quietFrnk> RyanPrior, had been messing round with networking a bit and changed the network cards
[01:48] <lgc> RyanPrior, pardon?
[01:48] <danbhfive> CShadowRun: dude, right click
[01:49] <lgc> RyanPrior, gaming?
[01:49] <randomwalker> where are the wallpaper images stored in hardy?
[01:49] <CShadowRun> doh.
[01:49] <CShadowRun> danbhfive thanks :p
[01:49] <bloodrock> CShadowRun, right click on menu bar applications
[01:49] <danbhfive> CShadowRun: lol, np
[01:49] <RyanPrior> pyrak: With unencrypted partitions, anybody who gets access to your box could just swipe your hard drive or boot a LiveCD or whatever and have access to all your data. The Alternate Install CD has a wizard to help you set up encrypted partitions, which will ask you for the encryption key at boot up and won't be accessible unless it's given.
[01:49] <Krimpet> one thing I'd like to figure out sometime is if there's a way to install all the corresponding *-doc packages for everything I have installed, it's nice to have em available but most seem to not be installed by default
[01:49] <Smegzor> I have a remote XDMC connection to a box on my lan (1 gigabit), but the refresh rate is very poor.  I do have sound from the remote machine coming through my speakers which is very nice.  I'm using Xnest.  Is there any way to get better performance?
[01:49] <RyanPrior> lgc: Not gaming. "Are you game?" is a phrase meaning, would you like to do that?
[01:50] <pyrak> RyanPrior, so if my os breaks and i have to boot from a live CD, will i still be able to access my data?
[01:50] <lgc> RyanPrior, thanks for the English class. Off I go...
[01:50] <pyrak> RyanPrior, will i have less available space?  will reading/writing be slower?
[01:50] <ttmontoya> RyanPrior, TOTEM work with a video i already had on my laptop but how do i use it to watch streaming vids
[01:50] <bloodrock> chaky, also you can edit it by system. prefrenences. menu editor
[01:51] <legend2440> randomwalker: usr/share/backgrounds
[01:51] <eongerth> llgc: I got a connection!  sudo ifup ath0  (or eth1 in your case)
[01:51] <RyanPrior> pyrak: You will be able to read your data as long as you know the encryption key. The encryption does not decrease your amount of usable space I don't think, but it does increase the CPU overhead of read/write operations somewhat.
[01:51] <randomwalker> legend2440, but what about the ones i manually add? i figure they are copied to ~/.wallpaper or something like that?
[01:51] <RyanPrior> pyrak: There are some benchmarks available which show that disk performance is 1-5% worse for encrypted partitions.
[01:52] <Ecclesiastes> Since I have upgraded to Hardy, my system won't recognize my main data drive and my performance has taken a huge hit. Is there a way to use Synaptic or Aptget to roll back to Gutsy?
[01:52] <dgts123> how can i assign hostnames to ip adresses, wasn't there specific filename like ".hosts" for that?
[01:52] <pyrak> RyanPrior, hm, so there's a slight tradeoff byt not much
[01:52] <pyrak> but*
[01:52] <iRRVi> ubuntu 8.04 on dell xps 1st gen: when using bluetooth and connecting to my fone it freezes and blinks the caps and scroll lock LEDs
[01:52] <Daisuke_Laptop> Ecclesiastes: nope
[01:52] <dgts123> i mean for other hosts in my network, not for the same machine
[01:52] <lunchbox2> I'm looking for a little help with permissions.  Network drive crashed put the network drive in the PC and I don't have rights to move the files to a new harddrive so I can reformat the network drive. Any gurus want to help me out?
[01:52] <Daisuke_Laptop> i would *love* to know why upgrading causes so many issues with hardy
[01:53] <danbhfive> Ecclesiastes: thats an interesting question, I should get a virtual machine going, and figure out a way
[01:53] <billisnice>  I downloaded google earth update in a .bin file. How do i install it?  ver 8.04
[01:53] <BubbleTea> what is the best encypt a pdf file
[01:53] <Daisuke_Laptop> almost unanimously, the problems i'm seeing with hardy are from users who upgraded from gutsy
[01:53] <iRRVi> lunchbox: sudo is key
[01:53] <RyanPrior> Daisuke_Laptop: upgrades always tend to cause issues. Hardy has actually been remarkably issue-free for many upgraders.
[01:53] <BubbleTea> what is the best encypt a pdf file
[01:53] <RyanPrior> !repeat | BubbleTea
[01:54] <RyanPrior> BubbleTea: if you install the SeaHorse encryption helper, it adds a "Encrypt file..." item to your right-click context menu, which is a very easy way to encrypt files such as PDFs.
[01:54] <legend2440> randomwalker: right click blank space on desktop>change desktop background>background hover over thumbnail of background should tell you where it is stored
[01:54] <danbhfive> Daisuke_Laptop: I had several issues that were solved via a clean install
[01:54] <thingfish> not issue-free for me - xorg doesn't detect my display hardware properly and I'm limited to 800x600 with the nv driver, and 640x480 with the nvidia driver.
[01:54] <lunchbox2> iRRvi , my experience in linux is extremely limited I need someone to hold my hand or point me in the right direction - sudo leaves me stranded i'm not knowledgeable enough
[01:54] <thingfish> worked fine in gutsy
[01:54] <Daisuke_Laptop> danbhfive: that's exactly what i'm talking about.
[01:54] <iRRVi> ubuntu 8.04 on dell xps 1st gen: when using bluetooth and connecting to my fone it freezes and blinks the caps and scroll lock LEDs
[01:54] <randomwalker> legend2440, thanks
[01:54] <thingfish> my issues were with a clean install
[01:54] <shree_> Hi all, could anyone help me with this perl related error when configuring webmin
[01:55] <RyanPrior> Daisuke_Laptop: There are many ways that upgrades can go wrong. This is to be expected. Look at how nasty the upgrade path from Windows XP to Windows Vista was!
[01:55] <jason> ware does ubuntu install programs?
[01:55] <RyanPrior> Daisuke_Laptop: We're much better at upgrades than they are, fortunately. On the whole, many people's upgrades go smoothly.  Use Synaptic (or dpkg) to find out where the files were individually installed.
[01:56] <iRRVi> lunchbox2: sorry...but its for your own good
[01:56] <RyanPrior> BubbleTea: You can install it via Add / Remove programs.
[01:56] <jason> ok thanks RyanPrior
[01:56] <iRRVi> ubuntu 8.04 on dell xps 1st gen: when using bluetooth and connecting to my fone it freezes and blinks the caps and scroll lock LEDs
[01:57] <Ecclesiastes> If I use a knoppix LiveCD, what parts of Hardy do I have to destroy so that a Gutsy installer will do a repair?
[01:57] <Daisuke_Laptop> RyanPrior: "better than xp to vista" isn't saying much, i would have said *much* better :)  but it just seems there's a larger minority with upgrade related problems this time around.  then again, that could also be due to the fact that there's a larger overall installed base than the release before, or the release before that, or...  you see where i'm going.
[01:57] <kindofabuzz> jason: you can use the whereis command also
[01:57] <catron> I cannot have a call and music playing at the same time (Skype + RhythmBox)
[01:57] <RyanPrior> iRRVi: That sounds bad! Flashing LEDs often indicate a Linux kernel panic.
[01:57] <paulcross> iS anyebody here know how to use OPENBOX.
[01:57] <catron> Anyone know a fix?
[01:57] <shree_> Hi all, has anyone installed webmin with apache
[01:57] <lunchbox2> Anyone else want to take a stab at helping me out?
[01:57] <jason> hmm... ok
[01:57] <osxdude|overhere> Anyone know a C compiler that can create executables? gcc isn't cutting it.
[01:57] <iRRVi> RyanPrior: it didnt do this until recently
[01:57] <Daisuke_Laptop> RyanPrior: nevermind, you did say much better :P
[01:57] <BubbleTea> RyanPrior i don't see it
[01:58] <jrib> osxdude|overhere: what are you compiling?
[01:58] <RyanPrior> Daisuke_Laptop: One of the common causes of complaints has been sound, which has had a major overhaul in the latest upgrade.
[01:58] <iRRVi> RyanPrior: possibly the installation of bitpim...but i dont have it running or anything
[01:58] <Daisuke_Laptop> osxdude|overhere: it would help if you had gcc.  install the build-essential package, and as always, check the !repos for prebuilt packages
[01:58] <jason> btw RyanPrior i was looking for open arena
[01:58] <catron> osxdude|overhere: mingw
[01:58] <osxdude|overhere> okokok
[01:58] <bloodrock> lunchbox do a google on sudo and read  as much as you can
[01:58] <eboyjr> Hey, guys... Is it possible to run two window systems at the same time? Ctrl+Alt+F7 and Ctrl+Alt+F6
[01:58] <billisnice> i downloaded google earth update in a .bin file. How do i install it?
[01:58] <Daisuke_Laptop> RyanPrior: sound is a big one i've seen, and nvidia issues skyrocketed with hardy
[01:58] <RyanPrior> jason: You're looking for the launcher, or the installation files?
[01:58] <usser> osxdude|overhere, ehm, what?
[01:58] <kindofabuzz> osxdude|overhere: if you create code in linux i don't think you can make an exe, because you don't have any of the windows stuff at all, and exe is windows, not sure though
[01:59] <drivetrax> bash: cd: /opt/lost+found: Permission denied
[01:59] <drivetrax>  (
[01:59] <osxdude|overhere> jrib: It's the UnrealIRCd | Daisuke_Laptop: it says gcc will not create executables
[01:59] <Daisuke_Laptop> osxdude|overhere: install build-essential
[01:59] <jason> installation files im trying to add a pro mod somting or another
[01:59] <usser> osxdude|overhere, you need to install build-essential
[01:59] <jason> RyanPrior,
[01:59] <Daisuke_Laptop> you need that to compile *anything*
[01:59] <osxdude|overhere> OH
[01:59] <osxdude|overhere> it's plural!
[01:59] <osxdude|overhere> ok.
[01:59] <RyanPrior> Daisuke_Laptop: Yeah, and would ya believe it, both have to do with non-free components: Adobe Flash for sound, and nVidia drivers for graphics.
[01:59] <osxdude> lol
[01:59] <genii> shree_: Since webmin was removed from ubuntu, you're not likely to get much support for it here
[01:59] <osxdude> i didin't know it was plural.
[02:00] <eboyjr> Hey, guys... Is it possible to run two window systems at the same time? Ctrl+Alt+F7 and Ctrl+Alt+F6
[02:00] <jrib> osxdude: it's not plural :/
[02:00] <RyanPrior> Why do we have osxdude and osxdude|overhere? Confused.
[02:00] <iRRVi> RyanPrior: any possiblity i need to install some things for bluetooth stuff?
[02:00] <osxdude> oh
[02:00] <osxdude> wait
[02:00] <who_> can someone instruct me on how to manually configure my sound card???
[02:00] <LiGhTMaGiCk> I got sound problems on hardy anyone know any easy fixes
[02:00] <shree_> genii: i didnt know that. anyone now i am pinging on #perl
[02:00] <osxdude> gah, i'm a dumbass
[02:00] <drivetrax> what is in the lost+found directory ?
[02:00] <ectospasm> eboyjr:  yes
[02:00] <Y-Town> eboyjr: virtualbox or vmware
[02:00] <osxdude> I meant it's NOT plural :P
[02:00] <astro76> eboyjr: F7 and up is normal, yes
[02:00] <Ecclesiastes> osxdude: have you installed Leo4All?
[02:00] <drivetrax> I cannot access it
[02:00] <shree_> genii: a sleepy looking community
[02:00] <osxdude> hm, Ecclesiastes ?
[02:00] <RyanPrior> iRRVi: I don't know much about that problem. I've never used Bluetooth, and I'm bad at diagnosing kernel panics, so I'm the wrong person to talk to all around. :-(
[02:00] <Daisuke_Laptop> RyanPrior: most definitely, and while i would love to see everyone use completely free software, that's just not feasible with nvidia having majority marketshare
[02:01] <iRRVi> RyanPrior: okie
[02:01] <astro76> eboyjr: there's a program in System Tools > New Login that does this easily, you might have to edit your menu to enable it
[02:01] <who_> can someone instruct me on how to manually configure my sound card???
[02:01] <jason> RyanPrior, i was looking for the install files im installeing a pro mod thingi but i found ware it is its in user/share/games
[02:01] <Ecclesiastes> osxdude: the Leopard for PC x86 system
[02:01] <RyanPrior> jason: cool. Did you check it in synaptic?
[02:01] <osxdude> Oh
[02:01] <osxdude> Ecclesiastes: i'm on a Mac Mini :)
[02:02] <Smegzor> Is it possible to get near realtime response over an XDMC connection on a lan?
[02:02] <jason> yeah RyanPrior
[02:02] <osxdude> I have an old desktop (that actually was replaced by the Mac) that i'm going to use as a server)
[02:02] <RyanPrior> jason: Alright.  Working great.
[02:03] <who_> so no
[02:03] <jason> yeah i like it
[02:03] <who_> no one can help me???
[02:03] <danbhfive> how do I add a user to a group?
[02:03] <LiGhTMaGiCk> ubuntu finds my sound card and acts like it works but I get no sound and it's not muted lol
[02:03] <oddalot> hilarious
[02:03] <bloodrock> who what soundcard is it?
[02:03] <Ecclesiastes> osxdude: Hardy Heron is still expermental. I was runnin gutsy ( 7.10 ) and it was REAL nice.
[02:03] <who_> soundblaster live
[02:04] <osxdude> Ecclesiastes: The desktop has 8.04. :)
[02:04] <eboyjr> It says, "GDM (GNOME Display Manager) is not running" yet when I type "sudo gdm", it says, "GDM is already running"
[02:04] <bloodrock> who, what isn't working
[02:04] <RyanPrior> danbhfive: System -> Administration -> Users and Groups -> Unlock -> Groups
[02:04] <Ecclesiastes> osxdude: it was so nice, I upgraded to Hardy without serious hesitation.
[02:04] <eboyjr> astro76: ^
[02:04] <who_> i can't hear any sound and it says it can't find the device
[02:04] <astro76> eboyjr: why did you do that?
[02:04] <who_> when i boot windows it works
[02:04] <Y-Town> LiGhTMaGiCk: laptop or desktop?
[02:05] <osxdude> Same, Ecclesiastes . Upgrade was easy too. (upgrade performed on laptop, desktop had it installed new)
[02:05] <LiGhTMaGiCk> gateway laptop
[02:05] <astro76> eboyjr: oh the New Login gave the first error?

[02:26] <fabian32> is there like a chmod *.* under a folder command or something?

[02:27] <fabian32> i just want to change permissions to my username fabian instead of root
[02:27] <fabian32> so yeah thanks ill look into chown now
[02:27] <danbhfive> fabian32: i think you actually want to change ownership
[02:27] <goodtimes> is it possible to encrypt your partitions in ubuntu after you already have ubuntu installed?
[02:27] <danbhfive> fabian32: sudo chown user:user -R folder
[02:28] <fabian32> mad thanks heaps dan
[02:28] <fabian32> will that do everything?
[02:28] <fabian32> liike *.*

[02:34] <drowner_> Does anyone know of a word processor that is good for typing mathematics/stats assignments? Like, that can easily do fractions, greek symbols etc without hunting for the symbols in a normal word processor? If that makes sense?
[02:34] <oddalot> matthew: sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings
[02:34] <fabian32> its pretty funny hey
[02:34] <chris_> my box has been falling apart lately x.x'
[02:34] <u007> hi, why isn't visor module automatically added to list of default module on startup when gnome palm applet is installed? it would be more user friendly for non-computer-geek like most of us
[02:34] <fabian32> before i found out about thier new mascot i got my mother an ati card
[02:34] <Zaiden> Is it possible to control the amount of memory a program uses?
[02:34] <oddalot> matthew then: sudo nvidia-settings

[02:34] <Xecuter88> Hi! I lost sound in Totem all of the sudden. Was watching a video and suddenly the audio disappeared... And i can't find the problem. There isn't any sound when i log in either. But Amarok plays just fine! Help!

[02:36] <Xecuter88> nope
[02:36] <matthew> oddalot: ..

[02:36] <thompa> imap gmail + evolution anyone???
[02:36] <anteaya> how do i get a dvd to play?  I have tried mplayer, totem, miro and vlc.  I know the dvd drive is working because I can play dvds in the windows portion of the dual boot.  What do I need to do to get dvds to play in ubuntu?
[02:36] <oddalot> matthew: system->admin->hardware driver     click enable drivers
[02:36] <thompa> Xecuter88: re-x?
[02:36] <fabian32> danbhfive: THANK YOU SIR!
[02:37] <Xecuter88> thompa, restart? tried that too...
[02:37] <drowner_> can i repeat my question?
[02:37] <drowner_> Does anyone know of a word processor that is good for typing mathematics/stats assignments? Like, that can easily do fractions, greek symbols etc without hunting for the symbols in a normal word processor? If that makes sense?
[02:37] <danbhfive> fabian32: que pasa?
[02:37] <chris_> I upgraded to ubuntu 8.04, everything has been working fine until 2 days ago, i noticed my audio is always on mute, and when i try to unmute it, it compains that GStreamer plugin was not found. Other than that, my usual user does not have sudo privilages anymore, i suspect Virtual Box, since i had to add this user to vboxuser to user vbox. Also when i restart my XServer (wether logging out...
[02:37] <chris_> ...or ctrl + alt + backspace) i try to relogin, and it hangs at a blank screen with a white box at the top left of the screen about 200x200px, i have to do a complete reboot in order to log in again.
[02:37] <fabian32> u told me the wonders of chown

[02:38] <anteaya> Goldfisch: thanks i will search
[02:38] <matthew> oddalot: You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X Driver. Please edit your X confiruation file and restart the X server
[02:38] <thompa> anyone using gmail and evol????
[02:38] <chris_> r007 http://www.google.com/search?q=last.fm+clients&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
[02:38] <Xecuter88> r00723r0, amarok can play last.fm
[02:38] <matthew> oddalot: says I need a restart now..
[02:39] <r00723r0> Xecuter88, I mean things that directly accept lastfm:// streams.
[02:39] <oddalot> maybe you should restart
[02:39] <malsyned> anybody else having a problem where youtube videos stop playing after 5 seconds or so with 8.10/FF3/Official Adobe plugin?
[02:39] <thompa> Xecuter88: i have problems with totem, does vlc work?
[02:39] <matthew> oddalot: ok can u stick around i really appreciate ur help, i brb okay
[02:39] <Xecuter88> r00723r0, yes amarok will do that
[02:39] <evilbug> is there some kind of problem between emerald and hardy?
[02:39] <r00723r0> Xecuter88, and Amarok is for GTK+/GNOME?
[02:39] <oddalot> k
[02:40] <Xecuter88> r00723r0, no kde, but its still usable under gnome... and its the best musicplayer ever :P
[02:40] <evilbug> r00723r0- no,it's for kde.
[02:40] <r00723r0> ...
[02:40] <r00723r0> Xecuter88, no, I refuse.
[02:40] <Xecuter88> r00723r0, why?
[02:40] <thompa> im going to have to use kmail i guess
[02:40] <evilbug> r00723r0- you have plenty of other choices.
[02:40] <r00723r0> That's such a dumb question that I might have to explode.
[02:40] <r00723r0> I just asked for GTK+/GNOME specifically.
[02:40] <Xecuter88> r00723r0, and why is that?
[02:40] <evilbug> r00723r0- i personally like vlc.
[02:40] <Ahadiel> r00723r0, Rhythmbox
[02:41] <r00723r0> Do these all accept lastfm:// streams?
[02:41] <evilbug> r00723r0- Ahadiel is also correct.rythmbox looks/feels more like a music player.
[02:41] <mindheavy> how would i get rid of fwcutter in order to use ndiswrapper?
[02:41] <Xecuter88> thompa, yes vlc plays...
[02:41] <thompa> evilbug: well vlc works,
[02:41] <thompa> ugly though
[02:41] <evilbug> thompa- :) i know.it's not that ugly.just simple.
[02:41] <fabian32> vlc is better than superman
[02:42] <evilbug> thompa- want to help me with emerald?
[02:42] <r00723r0> So do these all accept lastfm:// streams?
[02:42] <evilbug> r00723r0- they should.
[02:42] <m1r> fabian32: where should i found catalyst icon ?
[02:42] <r00723r0> I have a last.fm plugin for Exaile and it doesn't seem to accept lastfm:// streams.
[02:42] <matthew> oddalot: ok my resolution stayed but my logon screen is still missing the bottom, its off
[02:42] <evilbug> r00723r0- i know vlc accepts almost anything.you might have to put in the link(s) yourself though.
[02:42] <b1z4rr0> hi
[02:43] <fabian32> hi
[02:43] <b1z4rr0> can any one help me wiyh the brasero program?
[02:43] <digerati> hi
[02:43] <evilbug> can anyone tell me if there's some kinds of compatibility issue between hardy and emerald?
[02:43] <matthew> oddalot: is there a way to fix that?
[02:43] <fabian32> m1r: under other
[02:43] <fiyawerx> r00723r0, might want to try #exaile for that
[02:43] <fabian32> in applications
[02:43] <thompa> evilbug: the player mandriva uses is best my opinion, and installs in ubuntu
[02:43] <r00723r0> fiyawerx, alright.
[02:43] <r00723r0> Thanks all.
[02:43] <legend2440> drowner_: in synaptic there is a openoffice addon called openoffice.org-math. never tried it myself but i think it makes it easier to insert equations and math symbols in documents
[02:44] <thompa> evilbug: sory have not tried emerald yet
[02:44] <evilbug> thompa- i'm a itunes and winamp fan myself.
[02:44] <evilbug> thompa- no worries.
[02:44] <fiyawerx> evilbug, im running emerald with no issues
[02:44] <fabian32> then get xmms2
[02:44] <fabian32> or some frontend for it
[02:44] <evilbug> fiyawerx- i just installed hardy on a macbook pro with compiz and everything but emerald just won't load.
[02:44] <drowner_> cheers legend
[02:45] <fiyawerx> evilbug, do you get any errors when you start it from a console
[02:45] <matthew> does anyone know why my screen resolution is fine now but my main logon screen where I could pick KDE or Gnome etc is off, how can I adjust it, I'm missing the bottom..?
[02:45] <jrib> drowner_: if you are serious about typesetting math, you should take some time to learn LaTeX
[02:45] <oddalot> matthew i don't know, who cares anyway, as long as you can login it doesn't matter, i would say just move on to better things..
[02:45] <b1z4rr0> i don't know if copy the bin file, or the toc file... i'm workingo on in my laptop & only have one cdRw
[02:45] <evilbug> fiyawerx- haven't tried.i open up the config and that works fine,the windows won't show up like it though.
[02:45] <matthew> oddalot: what if I use example. KDE or something, I can't get my mouse down to select it lol
[02:45] <evilbug> fiyawerx- it worked well with gutsy though.
[02:45] <malsyned> anybody here successfully playing youtube movies on 8.04?
[02:45] <thompa> imap + gmail + evolution anyone. its broke..
[02:46] <m1r> fabian32: what should i set to try fix screen flickering in control center ?
[02:46] <fiyawerx> evilbug, you've imported some themes?
[02:46] <drowner_> jrib: I have to hand in one stats assignment.... the next part of my course will deal with sociology and medical sciences
[02:46] <evilbug> fiyawerx- not yet.
[02:46] <drowner_> so i won't need it after today, for a while ;)
[02:46] <thompa> evolution suks
[02:46] <fabian32> 3d games tip, set vsych to always off to boost fps at the expense of visual tearing
[02:46] <evilbug> fiyawerx- it's still supposed to load the default theme.
[02:46] <mrix_> malsyned: in FF3?
[02:46] <b1z4rr0> any??
[02:46] <anteaya> Goldfisch: have you any more information to offer on the topic of decss or libdvdcss2?  I just tried to follow the instructions for downloading libdvdcss2 prior to posting in chat, and despite what appeared to be error free command execution, I do not seem to have successfully aquired libdvdcss2.  Any further suggestions?
[02:46] <oddalot> matthew try making sure the settings are saved in nvidia-settings, and you save them to your xorg.conf
[02:46] <malsyned> mrix_: yeah
[02:47] <matthew> ok question..:D does anybody know a good graphical demanding game I can install using  .deb file?
[02:47] <matthew> oddalot: my screen resolution is staying now, wouldn't that mean they are saved? I'm not sure
[02:47] <thompa> anteaya: search for ubuntu restricted and go to dvd section
[02:47] <b1z4rr0> do i copy the *.bin file?? or the *.toc file?
[02:47] <anteaya> thompa: thank you i will attempt that
[02:47] <m1r> fabian32: that i should set in games u mean ?
[02:47] <thompa> anteaya: there is link to adding media ubuntu repos
[02:47] <evilbug> fiyawerx- no clue?
[02:47] <oddalot> matthew, no make sure it's saved to the xorg.conf
[02:48] <mrix_> malsyned: i do, but it's tricky as flash wants to obtain exclusive sound access therefore i have to exit any running sound players :(
[02:48] <matthew> oddalot:  Im still a n00b can u explain to me how to do that :-S sorry
[02:48] <malsyned> mrix_: on mine, the video stops after two seconds until I manually seek the stream.
[02:48] <Goldfisch> anteaya: I haven't had to deal with it for a while. Just a sec...
[02:48] <anteaya> thompa: thank you I have already added the mediabuntu repos in my unsuccessful attempt in downloaded libdvdcss2, but i will look
[02:49] <mrix_> malsyned: seems like you have another issue...
[02:49] <mrix_> malsyned: video works fine for me
[02:49] <anteaya> Goldfisch: thank you, your help is appreciated
[02:49] <malsyned> mrix_: do you have libflashsupport installed?
[02:49] <matthew> oddalot: my desktop effects are working fine again btw
[02:49] <oddalot> matthew just make sure it's set in nvidia-settings to the correct resolution and hit the button save to xorg.conf   if that doesn't work, i don't know what to tell you
[02:49] <fabian32> m1r: nah set it your siaplay manager
[02:49] <fabian32> like in catalyst control centre or nvidia-settings
[02:49] <rainwalker> when I try to shut down or restart via System > Quit, the process hangs on killing either X or Nautilus because my wallpaper is still displayed (everything else is gone) until I Control+Alt+Backspace to kill X. Any ideas as to what's wrong?
[02:49] <fabian32> its a driver setting
[02:49] <mrix_> malsyned: not sure, how do i check that?
[02:49] <b1z4rr0> no one use brasero?
[02:50] <rainwalker> b1z4rr0: I do, somewhat
[02:50] <m1r> fabian32: i dont see that option (vsync) in catalyst
[02:50] <fabian32> ill look now
[02:50] <fabian32> other>CCC
[02:50] <mrix_> malsyned: i do watch youtube movies just fine
[02:50] <m1r> yes

[02:50] <fabian32> 3d>more settings
[02:50] <b1z4rr0> rainwalker: do i copy the bin file or the toc file?
[02:50] <fabian32> greg little box all the way to the left
[02:50] <fabian32> so it says always off
[02:50] <malsyned> mrix_: the description for that package suggests that it will solve your audio issues with it.
[02:50] <fabian32> then reboot
[02:51] <Zaiden> How do you change the directory the terminal is focusing on?
[02:51] <fabian32> then run your demanding 3d game in fullscreen
[02:51] <rainwalker> b1z4rr0: sorry, I just came in the room, what problem are you having?
[02:51] <matthew> oddalot: make sure my resolution is saved in there? I have NVIDIA X Server Settings window open and its set to 1280 x 1024 like I need, is that okay?
[02:51] <malsyned> although it's possible that that's what's causing my troubles :/
[02:51] <anteaya> Goldfisch, and thompa: just so we are talking about the same thing, i already have the ubuntu-restricted-extras package, and I can not locate or find libdvdcss2
[02:51] <m1r> fabian32: tnx, i rebooting
[02:51] <kitche> Zaiden: do you mean how to change directories same as in DOS cd
[02:51] <fabian32> cool
[02:51] <MachinTrucChose> Hi...can anyone help me with Samba? I shared a folder through Nautilus, and I'd like to know where those share settings are saved. There is no mention of my shared folders in smb.conf.
[02:52] <mrix_> malsyned: oh, thanks! will try that now...
[02:52] <arbir> can anybody tell me, how i can merge my menus ?
[02:52] <Zaiden> To change it so the terminal can run files from the desktop
[02:52] <arbir> in menu editor, if i drag the system menu into applications, it wont respond
[02:52] <fabian32> right click then click on edit menus
[02:52] <Zaiden> Right now it says "mike@Mike"
[02:53] <kitche> Zaiden: yes that's correct it will always say that
[02:53] <oddalot> matthew click save to X configureation file
[02:53] <kitche> Zaiden: just do cd ~/Desktop or any other directory
[02:53] <arbir> fabian32: any ideas ?
[02:53] <MachinTrucChose> anyone? No Samba fans around?

[02:54] <Goldfisch> anteaya: I have been following a thread at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=396738. See if that helps.
[02:54] <mrix_> malsyned: BTW do you have direct rendering enabled ?
[02:54] <malsyned> mrix_: glad to hear it.  Now I just have to figure out how to make it work for me!
[02:54] <m1r> fabian32: no problem, tnx for help with ccc :)
[02:54] <oddalot> i hate messing with the xorg.conf manually

[02:55] <b1z4rr0> rainwalker: trying to copy a disc, a mp3 disk

[02:56] <mrix_> malsyned: glxinfo |grep direct
[02:56] <Goldfisch> anyeaya: FYI, I just executed that thread's procedure and it worked. (I only installed libdvdcss2). The DVD I couldn't play a moment ago now works.
[02:56] <icelotu> =)
[02:56] <malsyned> mrix_: direct rendering: Yes
[02:57] <b1z4rr0> rainwalker: thk anyway... should i use k3b or gnomebaker??

[02:57] <LabThug> I switched to the "Human List" Login window for the face browser, now after a week of hardy, no faces are showing up.  What changed?
[02:58] <malsyned> mrix_: found an ubuntu forum thread about it.  hopefully there's a resolution there.
[02:58] <malsyned> thanks

[03:01] <binMonkey> how can i find out which process is a zombie process?  top lists one and i want to kill it.
[03:01] <matthew> Thanks, Gonna run for now...You all have a good one :-)   PEACE
[03:01] <LabThug> binMonkey, if top already lists it, you should already have the pid
[03:02] <Itaku> with wubi how do you know that its done?
[03:02] <binMonkey> LabThug: top has a listing for zombie, eg:  "zombie:  1"; it doesn't list the pid.
[03:03] <anteaya> Goldfisch has quit unfortunately.  thompa, thank you for your help,  I seem to have all of the extra codecs and libs that the various wikis and forums are suggesting but I can seem to find a libdvdcss2 repo that gives me the download.
[03:03] <danbhfive> anteaya: medibuntu didnt work?
[03:03] <LabThug> binMonkey,  have you tried `ps ax` ?
[03:03] <arbir> can anybody please help me to edit my menu ?
[03:04] <naut> What's that command that cleans up old package dependencies after you uninstall a package
[03:04] <anteaya> i had tried it before i posted to the channel in the first place danbhfive, and it didn't give me libdvdcss2
[03:04] <killemall> does acpi do anything for a 24/7 server?
[03:04] <danbhfive> !medibuntu
[03:04] <killemall> or is it just powersavings mode like sleep, etc
[03:04] <naut> !acpi
[03:04] <FelipeS> anyone know how to disable that "Feature" in which when desktop effects are enabled, windows that are not in focus have a semi-transparent window decoration?
[03:05] <binMonkey> LabThug:  i didn't know about that.  thanks lab, i found it.
[03:05] <Itaku> !wubi
[03:05] <anteaya> danbhfive: here are the repos I added to sources.list: deb http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/repo/ feisty free non-free
[03:05] <anteaya> deb-src http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/repo/ feisty free non-free
[03:06] <danbhfive> er, Im actually having a different problem
[03:06] <malsyned> mrix_: In your System -> Preferences -> Sound, what are your various devices set to?  Auto-detect?  PulseAudio?
[03:06] <danbhfive> help! my sudo stopped working after install vbox, and adding my user to a group
[03:07] <anteaya> danbhfive: ah, sorry, thought you were offering assistance
[03:07] <malsyned> mrix_: (btw: I seem to have fixed it by setting all of mine to pulseaudio, based on some forum suggestions)
[03:07] <danbhfive> anteaya: i was, till i realized my computer got messed up
[03:08] <danbhfive> lol
[03:08] <danbhfive> !sudo
[03:08] <anteaya> danbhfive: i understand, hope you find the assistance you need
[03:08] <NighTi^> mlr/n
[03:08] <FelipeS> anyone know how to disable that "Feature" in which when desktop effects are enabled, windows that are not in focus have a semi-transparent window decoration?
[03:08] <malsyned> When I full-screen flash video (FF3, 8.04, flash-nonfree) it always fullscreens to my first display instead of the display the FF window is on.  anybody know how to fix that?
[03:08] <makario> Does anyone use Elisa? I can't get DVD playback to work.
[03:08] <Itaku> with wubi how do you know that its done? because it downloaded i got a cookie and i came back and it was just closed.
[03:09] <malsyned> FelipeS: best place to start looking would probably be in the compizconfig-settings-manager package, which creates an "Advanced Desktop Effects" option under System->Preferences
[03:09] <Itaku> err and i ate the cookie for 2hrs
[03:09] <workmaster2n> hey - does anybody know how to activate compiz in hardy?
[03:10] <makario> workmaster2n: System > Preferences > Appearance; Visual Effects tab
[03:10] <FelipeS> malsyned: I did. I think I've been through every option, however I cannot find somewhere to toggle that on or off
[03:10] <workmaster2n> makario: I'm there
[03:10] <will00> how do i get emerald to work with compiz and gnome?
[03:11] <makario> Set it to Normal, workmaster2n
[03:11] <consumismo_owns> hello people, I installed the Ubuntu 8.0.4 in an new hd now, and after first restart my computer show this message: "Master Boot Record Error". Any suggestion?
[03:11] <workmaster2n> makario: ok - it is set to normal
[03:11] <makario> workmaster2n: So it's enabled?
[03:11] <danbhfive> dan is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
[03:11] <danbhfive> How do I fix that?  Im trying to sudo...
[03:11] <barfman_> anyone familair with fermats theory?
[03:12] <LabThug> a^n + b^n = c^ for n < 3?
[03:12] <workmaster2n> makario - I used compiz in ubuntu 7.10 and there was a place where I could turn features on and off (like the cube and wobbly windows) - how do i access those features?
[03:12] <barfman_> LabThug, yes, N is exponent?
[03:12] <LabThug> aye
[03:12] <consumismo_owns> hello?
[03:13] <cellwind929> Can anyone help me as to why samba isn't installing? Heres the terminal output http://linux.pastebin.com/d3873e133
[03:13] <barfman_> exponential correct?
[03:13] <makario> workmaster2n: Install compizconfig-settings-manager through Synaptic for more options.
[03:13] <malsyned> FelipeS: I just ran 'gtk-window-decorator --opacity 1 --replace' and it got rid of what you're complaining about.  I dunno how to make that permanent, though.
[03:13] <arbir> how can i add a quit command to my menu ?
[03:13] <LabThug> barfman_, yes  but it only works when n < 3
[03:13] <workmaster2n> makario: i can't find that in the package manager
[03:13] <barfman_> that's fine.'
[03:13] <makario> workmaster2n Perhaps I said the wrong name, then. Hold on.
[03:14] <barfman_> LabThug, tryign to write a python script to work the math and proove it.
[03:14] <Sergeant_Pony> flannel you here?
[03:14] <FelipeS> malsyned: maybe through some script to load every time at boot. However, I hate those types of hacks.
[03:14] <zcat[1]> weird; I just installed 'mondo' -- a filesystem recovery tool, and amongst the suggested packages is 'petris' -- I think they're hinting that filesystem recovery takes a long time :)
[03:14] <malsyned> FelipeS: me too
[03:14] <arbir> fde: hi are you here today ?
[03:14] <makario> workmaster2n: compizconfig-settings-manager is the right name.
[03:14] <LabThug> barfman_, good luck.  Lots of others have done the same.  I believe it has to do with two cubes (or higher) exceeding the rate of another cube, but that's just me
[03:14] <barfman_> LabThug, cube?
[03:14] <LabThug> s/have done/have tried to do/
[03:14] <makario> workmaster2n Just search for 'compiz settings' in Synaptic.
[03:15] <LabThug> barfman_, cube == x^3
[03:15] <drivetrax> sdb11 says it is OPT, and I want to slice off 94GB .. and have a data ext3 directory
[03:15] <witten> I've got a raid 1 array that shows as 100% full with df, even though it isn't. df -i does not show as full. any ideas?
[03:15] <workmaster2n> do I need to enable something in  the synaptic package manager - when I search for compizconfig-settings-manager it does not come up
[03:15] <barfman_> part of learning python, but, i'm failing miserably
[03:16] <workmaster2n> makario: I searched for compiz settings in synaptic, there is no configuration manager listed for me
[03:16] <FelipeS> malsyned: thanks anyway
[03:16] <makario> workmaster2n: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[03:16] <SeaPhor> barfman_, i've failed before i even started,,, i so lost
[03:17] <workmaster2n> makario: 8.04 Hardy Heron
[03:17] <barfman_> i want to learn programming, but, i don't think it's for me. either that or i'm trying to learn too much too fast
[03:17] <STSX> When I type in a command who's program is not all ready installed, Ubuntu is smart enough to sometimes tell me which package to download--how does it do this? Is it using auto-apt?
[03:17] <Mr_Sonoma> I have a xp box set up to be the home for my printer, my wife's vista machine found the printer without issue but on Hardy when i go to System Settings > Printers > Add > Add Printer > SMB Shared Printer then hit the "scan" button to scan the network I only see the Hardy machine.

[03:17] <Mr_Sonoma> ows hosted printer using the graphical tool?
[03:17] <makario> workmaster2n: Is it a fresh install? Have you hit the Reload button in Synaptic yet?
[03:17] <malsyned> aw.  FelipeS quit and I just found an answer for him.
[03:17] <Fritzel> what is ~/.gvfs?
[03:18] <mono_james> workmaster2n it's this package; compizconfig-settings-manager
