[00:00] <xtrac> I need to install it a different way
[00:00] <ActionParsnip> xtrac: then ask in ##windows for Windows installer issues
[00:00] <xtrac> anyone can think of another way?
[00:00] <Theluxer> P=(
[00:00] <cap> xtrac: You've saddled a dead horse.
[00:00] <xtrac> windows is such a piece of garbage
[00:00] <xtrac> ubuntu had no problems
[00:00] <xtrac> installing
[00:00] <geirha> IRChatter: What do you need sudo for?
[00:00] <DaZ> xtrac: i've installed mine by setting setup up through a virtual machine
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> xtrac: then your issue is with windows which isn't supported here. There is ##windows
[00:01] <ed_moulton> I'm trying to watch the shuttles progress, but one of nasa's sites says I need the Jave Runtime Environment installed.  I have this, but it's the open jkd 6 runtime, not the one right from sun.  What'd I miss?
[00:01] <Raiscan> ActionParsnip: blacklisting floppy and nouveau worked! I'm going to reboot and test if I still need to blacklist nouveau though
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> Raiscan: worth a try
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> Raiscan: once you get the proprietary driver installed you will be ok (asuming your chip is supported)
[00:02] <xtrac> ActionParsnip I really am not having an issue with windows
[00:02] <IRChatter> geirha: I couldn't get it to work, so I assumed I need it?
[00:02] <geirha> ed_moulton: sun's jdk is in the partner repository, which isn't enabled by default.
[00:02] <xtrac> I want to install windows onto a second drive using ubuntu
[00:02] <xtrac> doing it throug ubuntu some how
[00:02] <xtrac> I know there is a way
[00:02] <xtrac> its just figuring out how
[00:02] <DaZ> xtrac: there isn't, apart from virtual machine
[00:02] <ubuntu__> Hey guys, I got a problem. Some how I broke my linux install. I used it has a 'server' for making websites locally. I hvae backup of my projects files. But I can't find my 'databases' is there a place that it is stored. like phpmyadmin saving them so I can copy it to my flash drive before resinstall...?
[00:02] <xtrac> I have a virtual machine
[00:03] <xtrac> vmware player
[00:03] <xtrac> on ubuntu
[00:03] <DaZ> i've spent whole night figuring it out once :x
[00:03] <ActionParsnip> xtrac: dude, EASE UP on the enter key
[00:03] <ed_moulton> ubuntu__, you have to mysqldump them first
[00:03] <xtrac> can you use xp installed in a vm and copy it to a disk?
[00:03] <DaZ> i've never used it, but if you can mount physical drive in it, it should work
[00:03] <geirha> IRChatter: Such assumptions will get you in trouble later. The problem is, cron expects five fields to describe which times the command should run, you only provided four, so it has no idea what to do.
[00:03] <trench> http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/maverickbleed?dist=maverick cool
[00:03] <ubuntu__> ed_moulton, so with me not doing that i  lost my database?
[00:04] <ubuntu__> I can't access the install I'm on live cd right now.
[00:04] <xtrac> I can already run windows xp in a vm DaZ
[00:04] <DaZ> xtrac: install it in a vm, execute setup from cd within windows and you'll find option to copy whole install disc to hdd
[00:04] <ActionParsnip> xtrac: i'd ask in vmware about that sort of thing, you can do a V2P but I'm not sure of the steps
[00:04] <DaZ> and set it up on your second drive, reboot, press enter, profit.
[00:04] <ed_moulton> ubuntu__, you can't mount up the installed version to /mnt and then chroot /mnt ?
[00:04] <geirha> IRChatter: man 5 crontab
[00:04] <rrichardsr3> im running ubuntu 10.10 and cannot get fglrx to work with my ati radeon hd card. Keeps throwing a 'transport sync flood' error on boot. I have go in thru rescue and remove the xorg.conf so i can run it standard (crappy) resolution mode. Anyone know a workaround?
[00:05] <ubuntu__> ed_moulton, yes, i can still access the files, it just don't boot
[00:05] <xtrac> DaZ I Thing i know what you mean
[00:05] <xtrac> I need to somehow have my physical drive in the vm machine?
[00:05] <DaZ> yes.
[00:05] <xtrac> my second hardrive
[00:05] <xtrac> okay ill try that
[00:05] <xtrac> thanks
[00:05] <ed_moulton> ubuntu__, No, I mean boot up to the cd, mount your installed version to /mnt and then chroot to /mnt.  I believe that will work, but you might have to install mysql on the livecd's instance first.
[00:05] <xtrac> good idea
[00:05] <IRChatter> geirha: Aren't these the five fields for time: 0 5 * * *
[00:05] <FloodBot2> xtrac: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:06] <Raiscan> ActionParsnip: okay I definately need to blacklist nouveau.  Now it says to run it every day at 5 o'clock in the morning.
[00:06] <xtrac> later
[00:07] <webstandardcss> Hey ubuntu people
[00:07] <BiPolah> Greetings, mortal.
[00:07] <IRChatter> geirha: Yes, so what's the problem? I had this problem before, but have forgotten how to fix it.
[00:07] <bc81> ubunuts*
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> Raiscan: ok cool, you can add them in the installed OS in /etc/default/grub but the nouveau driver wont get a look in if you install the nvidia driver
[00:07] <geirha> IRChatter: Though, with crontab -e, it's five time fields followed by the command to run. in /etc/crontab, it's 5 time fields, followed by username, followed by the command to run.
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> Raiscan: but you will need to blacklist the floppy module
[00:08] <ubuntu__> ed_moulton, I'm on live cd, I have installed mounted (I think i understand you there) I'm still new to the indept part of linux. Meaning I have live cd up, and access to the files.
[00:08] <geirha> IRChatter: Your initial paste didn't have the 0 ...
[00:08] <ed_moulton> ubuntu__, where is the hard drive mounted up?
[00:08] <pk___> sudo chown -R pk ~/  i did thid but all the directories which were previously owned by other users are now owned by pk and are empty
[00:09] <pk___> but i want their dATA
[00:09] <ed_moulton> Has anyone else been reading this?  Is what I'm telling ubuntu__ going to work?
[00:09] <rrichardsr3> How stable is natty these days?
[00:09] <Raiscan> ActionParsnip: okay. When's the best point to do this? right after installation?
[00:09] <Starminn> rrichrdsr3: Best answered in #ubuntu+1 :)
[00:09] <ActionParsnip> Raiscan: after install you will need to do the same again to get a desktop, you can then add the boot options in the file and get updated
[00:10] <ubuntu__> ed_moulton, it has a bunch of numbers and letters
[00:10] <rrichardsr3> Starminn: wasnt aware of that channel, thanks ;)
[00:10] <ed_moulton> ubuntu__, type mount and see where it is
[00:10] <Starminn> rrichardsr3: Not a problem. ;) It's completely dedicated to pre-release versions of Ubuntu (so in this case Natty). Have fun.
[00:11] <IRChatter> geirha: Thanks, but I can't seem to get it to work properly. I suppose I'll look online further.
[00:11] <Raiscan> ActionParsnip: okay. It seems ubuntu couldn't find a wireless driver, so I'm not out of the woods yet :)
[00:11] <ubuntu__> ed_moulton, dev/sda1
[00:11] <ed_moulton> ubuntu__, and where is it mounted?  Here's something else you might check out.  http://www.mkyong.com/mysql/where-does-mysql-stored-the-data-in-my-harddisk/
[00:12] <geirha> IRChatter: crontab -e (WITHOUT sudo) -> 0 5 * * * rm -rf ~/.Trash/*
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> Raiscan: i'd get updates and then worry about that,wired connections help
[00:12] <ubuntu__> ed_moulton, 'mount' result for the installed is '/dev/sda1 on /media/87bf7098-7004-4577-965b-54aea9256e32 type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks)'
[00:12] <Raiscan> wired connections help, but downstairs routers don't ;)
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> Raiscan: or run:  sudo lshw -C network;lsusb      and one line will identify the wireless device and you can find guides based on that
[00:13] <ubuntu__> ed_moulton, I'm checking out that link now.
[00:13] <geirha> IRChatter: Oh wait, that's the old location. In newer releases, it's ~/.local/share/Trash/*

[00:14] <IRChatter> geirha: Yeah, I was about to say, haha.
[00:15] <ed_moulton> ubuntu__, my first thought was to try sudo chroot /media/87bf7098-7004-4577-965b-54aea9256e32 and then run a mysqldump from there
[00:16] <Guest26011> hello, I have a question : I uninstalled some 'docky' package through synaptic manager and now, i have lost all the title bars whcih include the close minimize maximize button....
[00:16] <aeon-ltd> Guest26011: alt-f2, metacity --replace
[00:16] <grandmaster> can anyone help me do a quick set up of compiz please?
[00:17] <bastidraZor> grandmaster: #compiz may be a great place to do that.
[00:17] <Guest26011> aeon-ltd : ok thanks, let me try
[00:17] <Guest26011> actually alt-f2 is also not working :)
[00:18] <Guest26011> aeon-ltd : ok :) I got it now
[00:18] <ActionParsnip> grandmaster: how do you mean?
[00:19] <ubuntu__> ed_moulton, I will try
[00:19] <BiPolah> How would I go about opening a remote desktop connection via a script and not from  the command line every time?
[00:19] <ed_moulton> ubuntu__, I've got to go, but see if the chroot works and ask anyone in here about doing it.  You should be all set; I think I've done this before, but it was a while ago.
[00:20] <IRChatter> geirha: I don't understand. Crontab -e -> 0 5 * * * rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/* -> Still not working
[00:21] <geirha> IRChatter: How do you determine that it does not work?
[00:21] <grandmaster> i just installed ubuntu 10.10 and it runs good but the graphics could look better i need a dell driver can anyone help me ?
[00:22] <NewEmpathyUser> if you want have sound both in your headphones and in your speakers always at the same time (yes, a bug) install the mp3 codecs. my temporal solution? reinstall all related alsa and pulse packages. after some days of use, the problem returns jeje. permanent solution? use vlc instead of default players.
[00:22] <IRChatter> geirha: I have the gnome schedule and I tested it there. Perhaps I'll just set it to 1 minute and see the results. Thanks for everything, but I have to go. Bye :)
[00:22] <geirha> IRChatter: Sure, you can use gnome-schedule instead of crontab -e
[00:23] <NewEmpathyUser> I have this problem in my msi cr610 using ubuntu 10.10 amd64. Searching a better solution...
[00:25] <MagicJ> I want to change my screen saver to gltex, so I went to the screensavers and it says that I have changed it.  Yet when the timeout happens I still get my old feet.  What do I need to do to caus the change to happen.  I have tried a boot and that did not help
[00:26] <elementz> hi all
[00:27] <NewEmpathyUser> hi :)
[00:27] <ubuntu__> Anyone know how to get a mysqldump froma Live CD? i need to backup my database and I can't boot into ubuntu anymore.
[00:28] <grandmaster> is compiz fusion bad ass?
[00:29] <cchildress> hi all. i'm having a very difficult time getting the atheros wireless network adapter in my asus netbook working in 10.10.  This is a fresh install.  It was working in 10.04.  Any ideas?
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> grandmaster: depends on what you like
[00:29] <MagicJ> how can I disable the right click on the desktop
[00:30] <cchildress> grandmaster: if you like flashy graphics and 3d effects, it's pretty nice
[00:30] <elementz> i vaguely remember, that if the desktop comes unresponsive due to a process taking up all the resources, that there was some kind of killswitch, to force dropping to a commandline, so that one can kill the processes freezing the system. (i am not talking about kill)
[00:30] <cchildress> it's all glitter and very little meat, imo
[00:30] <Raiscan> cchildress: what model? 1000(h)?
[00:30] <MagicJ> elementz: ctrl-alt-2
[00:30] <cchildress> Raiscan: aspireone zg5
[00:30] <cchildress> aoa-150
[00:31] <cchildress> i know it can work, because the adapter is recognized by the live environment
[00:31] <cchildress> but for some reason, my network doesn't show up
[00:31] <ActionParsnip> cchildress: http://sidrit.wordpress.com/2010/01/11/ubuntu-on-acer-aspire-zg5-scripts-to-fix-wifi-and-microphone-issues/
[00:31] <ActionParsnip> cchildress: found that in about 3 seconds......
[00:31] <cchildress> ahhh
[00:32] <cchildress> thank you very much
[00:32] <cchildress> i'm afraid my google-fu is failing me tonight
[00:32] <cchildress> your help is much appreciated
[00:32] <ActionParsnip> cchildress: i used bing..
[00:32] <elementz> MagicJ: yeah. but that is not the one i mean. sometimes a system becomes so unresponsive that even dropping to a shell via alt+f2 does not work anymore. there is some kind of special key combination that has higher priority than anything else running on the system. i also remember that this feature is normally disabled in ubuntu. anybody still with me?
[00:32] <Starminn> !bing
[00:32] <cchildress> either way
[00:32] <Raiscan> but bing uses google so it's all good ;)
[00:32] <cchildress> thanks and i'll try that and come back if it doesn't work
[00:32] <cchildress> hehe
[00:33] <cchildress> bye for now. have a good night
[00:33] <ardchoille> elementz: alt+printscreen then R E I SU B  ?
[00:34] <Jonii^> I set up a quick key combination that I should not have
[00:35] <Jonii^> Now I have no way of removing that quick key(like, making it "not in use")
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> !shortcut | Jonii^
[00:36] <elementz> ardchoille: that looks good. but wasn't there a similar magic command, that does reboot the system, but only gives me a shell with the highest process priority?
[00:36] <Jonii^> ActionParsnip, that didn't help
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> Jonii^: I believe you just press ESC when asked for the combiniation
[00:36] <Jonii^> ActionParsnip, didn't work
[00:36] <elementz> ardchoille: edit: that does NOT reboot the system
[00:37] <Jonii^> Oh, backspace
[00:37] <ActionParsnip> Jonii^: I believe it says in the dialogue
[00:37] <Jonii^> It did
[00:37] <ardchoille> elementz: Ah, sorry, it's  Alt and SysRq
[00:37] <Raiscan> Okay so "Install alongside other operating systems" won't let me pick what disk to put the boot sector, but I'm not sure quite how to allocate space for manual partitioning
[00:38] <ActionParsnip> Jonii^: all good now?
[00:38] <Jonii^> Yes
[00:38] <Raiscan> *what disk to put grub on
[00:38] <elementz> ardchoille: wonderful. thx
[00:38] <ActionParsnip> Jonii^: reading is good ;)
[00:38] <Jonii^> I guess I need to re-learn how to read those tips that read when you're trying to use a tool
[00:38] <Jonii^> Windows was so intuitive, you never needed those
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> Jonii^: backspace to clear text....backspace to clear a shortcut?
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> Jonii^: not intuitive?
[00:39] <Starminn> Raiscan: It should handle that. As far as manual partitioning, why isn't the automatic one good enough?
[00:40] <Brumagem> Hello, is there anybody here that would be able to answer a audio question?
[00:40] <Jonii^> ActionParsnip, right-click + selecting "empty this shortcut" would be even more intuitive
[00:40] <Jonii^> But Ubuntu doesn't seem to use right-click menu that often
[00:40] <ardchoille> !ask | Brumagem
[00:40] <ActionParsnip> Jonii^: create a suggestion on http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com then
[00:41] <Raiscan> Starminn: it's picking my old drive, which has a win7 bootloader on
[00:41] <Raiscan> but that's not the drive I'm booting from
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> Jonii^: remember mark shuttleworth loves the mac, which has one mouse button to not confuse their users
[00:41] <Brumagem> Why is it that when I plug my headphones into the audio jack that I still here sound out of the speakers?
[00:42] <Jonii^> Who's Mark Shuttleworth?
[00:42] <rww> !sabdfl | Jonii^
[00:42] <Starminn> Raiscan: Oh. Alright, so in manual partition you need to make one partition as ext4 for the filesystem and another as "Swap" for your virtual ram (in WIndows-speak)
[00:42] <Brumagem> I still hear sound out of the speakers and headphones.
[00:42] <ActionParsnip> Jonii^: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Shuttleworth
[00:42] <ardchoille> !sabdfl | Jonii^
[00:42] <Raiscan> Starminn: yeah, but I always wonder if I should be splitting out /boot and /home onto different partitions
[00:43] <ActionParsnip> Brumagem: you need an option on your sound driver module, is the system a branded pc or laptop?
[00:43] <Brumagem> Toshiba...
[00:43] <Starminn> Raiscan: I've never had to do boot. The boot sector goes in the MBR (Master Boot Record) of the Hard Drive -- not a partition. You can make a partition for /home if you like, yes.
[00:43] <Jonii^> Cosmonaut founded Canonical? Like, someone who flew in space thanks to Russian government?
[00:43] <Brumagem> Ubuntu detects the proper hardware though.
[00:43] <ActionParsnip> Brumagem: model? Toshiba make a LOT of systems....
[00:43] <Starminn> Jonii^: Everybody knnows that was a cover-up. ;)
[00:44] <ActionParsnip> Brumagem: yes but you need an option to make the headphone jack work properly
[00:44] <Brumagem> Satellite L655
[00:44] <Raiscan> Starminn: I thought ubuntu puts vmlinuz in the /boot directory
[00:44] <Jonii^> I am confuse
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> Brumagem: run: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf       and add the line: options snd-hda-intel model=auto      save the new file, close gedit and reboot to test
[00:45] <Jonii^> But I guess the guys who got into space were quite awesome, so no wonder if they did something great besides flying hundreds of kilometers above us
[00:45] <rww> Jonii^: yes
[00:45] <Brumagem> I will try that.
[00:45] <Brumagem> Thanks.
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> Brumagem: if that's no good. try: options snd-hda-intel model=thinkpad
[00:45] <rww> Jonii^: he got rich from selling a company, and used the money to go to space and start Canonical
[00:46] <Starminn> Raiscan: Going over my head now. ;) For just a casual install I can help but if you're asking things like I'm not the one to talk to. I'm about to head out anyway.
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> Brumagem: seems the thinkpad is the one you need
[00:46] <Raiscan> Starminn: no worries, I'll just have an ext4 / and swap. Thanks!
[00:47] <Jonii^> Oh, wait, he wasn't cosmonaut but a space tourist?
[00:47] <Starminn> Raiscan: Alright. Keep in mind that it formats it in MB I believe. So you need to make an ext4, and make the mount point "/" (root), then the swap, well, 2GB is a safe bet. (You can always move your /home to a separate partition later if you decide you need to)
[00:48] <Starminn> Jonii^: Why not both?
[00:48] <Raiscan> I've picked about 4GB for swap. I like to multitask :D
[00:48] <Raiscan> probably a waste, but oh well
[00:48] <Starminn> Rasican: How much RAM do you have?
[00:48] <Raiscan> 4GB
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> Raiscan: then 4Gb is the ideal amount :)
[00:49] <Raiscan> excellent
[00:49] <Jonii^> Starminn, usually cosmonaut(or astronaut or taikonaut) refers to a professional pilot-like space traveler
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> Raiscan: it will allow you to hibernate if you desire
[00:49] <Raiscan> ActionParsnip: I thought I remembered hibernate writing ram to swap
[00:50] <Raiscan> but couldn't remember. Lucky me :)
[00:52] <ak_co_17tHN_cR_t> How about the enviroment? Canonical clearly does not care much for enviromental protection. The amount of Ubuntu CDs they have dumped in the past is unacceptable. They have reached AOL quantities.
[00:52] <Raiscan> so I know in windows, my wlan card uses ralink drivers, but beyond that I don't know the chip used. it doesn't seem to be working out-of-the-box, so what solutions do I have?
[00:52] <^Java_74^> How about the enviroment? Canonical clearly does not care much for enviromental protection. The amount of Ubuntu CDs they have dumped in the past is unacceptable. They have reached AOL quantities.
[00:52] <Red^Arrows> How about the enviroment? Canonical clearly does not care much for enviromental protection. The amount of Ubuntu CDs they have dumped in the past is unacceptable. They have reached AOL quantities.

[00:55] <OchoZero9> histo, I can't get an external display to work from my tablet. I'm in kubuntu. I go to system settings > displays> multiple monitors but it says I don't have any
[00:55] <OchoZero9> I askd in #kubuntu but no one has spoken for the last half hour
[00:57] <ActionParsnip> OchoZero9: does it work if you reboot with the monitor attached?
[00:57] <ActionParsnip> OchoZero9: does the device have a shortcut to enable the port?
[00:57] <OchoZero9> I haven't tried
[00:57] <OchoZero9> i don't understand the latter question
[00:58] <ActionParsnip> OchoZero9: my laptop has a shortcut to enable /disable the vga port switching between clone, extend or off
[00:58] <ActionParsnip> OchoZero9: does yours have similar?
[00:59] <OchoZero9> ohh, i think so
[00:59] <OchoZero9> let me try it
[01:00] <ActionParsnip> OchoZero9: didnt think to try it before huh....
[01:00] <OchoZero9> it's a soft switch on F7
[01:00] <high-rez> So I'm attempting to install 10.10 on a machine with a geforce gt240 video card.  And when X starts the screen just goes garbled... Apears nouveau related.  Is it possible to disable nouveau during install ?
[01:01] <brumagem> Where inside alsa-base.conf do I put in that option?
[01:01] <OchoZero9> it did nothing . It didn't occur to me I always go to the settings
[01:01] <ActionParsnip> high-rez: use the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1
[01:01] <lucus> Hi everyone! I know this is not officially supported. I recently compiled the <IP_ADDRESS> kernel from kernel.org. Now I see, some days later the new <IP_ADDRESS>. Is it possible to just patch the previous kernel and compile only the changes?

[01:01] <OchoZero9> Configure KDE for multiple monitors
[01:02] <brumagem> # ...
[01:02] <high-rez> ActionParsnip: Thanks
[01:02] <ActionParsnip> OchoZero9: try booting with the device attached
[01:02] <OchoZero9> This module is only for configuring systems with a single desktop spread accross multiple monitors. You do not appear to have this configuration
[01:02] <ActionParsnip> brumagem: what does that mean?
[01:02] <arand> lucus: I guess if the diffs are in modules...
[01:03] <OchoZero9> I can't try at this instant, i'm working on a project
[01:03] <brumagem> Do I add a new line?
[01:03] <ActionParsnip> brumagem: yes, just select the next blank line and add the option
[01:03] <OchoZero9> btw i don't think i have a video card, they call it intel HD graphics, and is built in the cpu
[01:03] <brumagem> Or do I put that in with the rest of the lines that are displayed as 'options with index=-2'
[01:04] <ubuntuWantaBe> hey guys im back, I loaded unbuntu and it`s freakin awsome I am in love with the gnome
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> OchoZero9: the system will fail post without a video chip, weather its on a riser card or onboard is moot
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> brumagem: add the new line to the file, it's really that simple
[01:04] <OchoZero9> I know it uses shared memory but i don't htink i can adjust it. not even in bios
[01:04] <OchoZero9> shame since i have 8gb of system memory
[01:05] <ActionParsnip> OchoZero9: as long as the external port is enabled it can be used
[01:05] <lucus> arand: what do I have to do in that case? (the only thing I was wondering is, if it is possible to avoid compiling the whole thing again from scratch)
[01:05] <brumagem> Hey ActionParsnip Do I need to put anything else in there with snd-hda-intel model-auto?
[01:05] <OchoZero9> btw, ActionParsnip , the exteral vga port has worked in the past.
[01:06] <brumagem> LIke say 'options'?
[01:06] <Raiscan> ActionParsnip: where do I put the blacklistings now in grub?
[01:06] <Raiscan> it seems to be multiple lines
[01:06] <mrgalerien> hi, I have a problem with a file : It's showing with "ls" and in nautilus, but I can't delete, console tells me that there is no file or directory named [...]... What can I do about that please ?
[01:07] <arand> lucus: I don't know that much but I know you can compile individual modules by themselves and install... Not how though
[01:07] <ActionParsnip> brumagem: I'd try thinkpad instead of auto
[01:07] <Bop_> anyone uses veetle ?

[01:08] <ActionParsnip> Raiscan: /etc/default/grub  in the quotes with: quiet splash    and run: sudo update-grub     after you save the change
[01:09] <Raiscan> I need to do it in the grub bootloader first so I can get into it
[01:09] <ActionParsnip> brumagem: after you have added the line, save the change and then reboot to test
[01:09] <brumagem> Again, do I put 'options' before I put that line in?
[01:09] <ActionParsnip> brumagem: i gave the EXACT line to add
[01:10] <mrgalerien> aeon-ltd : rm: cannot remove `NAME' : No such file or directory
[01:10] <brumagem> options???
[01:10] <PepsiMAX[TM]> hmm
[01:10] <jimenki> if i want to /msg nickserv, but dont wan't to typ details in this room... what can i do?  (newb i know)
[01:10] <PepsiMAX[TM]> thinking about it
[01:10] <brumagem> OKAY.
[01:10] <brumagem> THanks.
[01:10] <ActionParsnip> brumagem: yes the line starts with options, there is more to it than that
[01:10] <Raiscan> i.e in the bootloader I have the options, I do e to edit the stuff but I can't find any place to put nouveau.blacklist=1 where it will work
[01:10] <PepsiMAX[TM]> try asking in #freenode jimenki
[01:10] <PepsiMAX[TM]> it's the network support channel
[01:10] <jimenki> PepsiMAX[TM], ty
[01:11] <ActionParsnip> Raiscan: sure, hold shift and you will see the grub loader and you can add the boot option just like you did in the livecD
[01:11] <Raiscan> I'm in the grub loader i thought
[01:11] <brumagem> I will be back in a moment to let you know if that change helped any.
[01:12] <lucus> arand: Thanks!
[01:12] <Raiscan> I have the various options, like Ubuntu with <kernel>, recovery mode, memtest, etc
[01:12] <arand> Raiscan: If you press e at one of the alternative
[01:13] <arand> Raiscan: Then add that option at the same place "splash"C and "quiet" goes
[01:13] <Raiscan> yeah I can't work out where to put nouveau.blacklist=1 anywhere in the very long line
[01:13] <Raiscan> oh I see
[01:14] <Raiscan> thanks
[01:14] <OchoZero9> ActionParsnip, i found a page with soem information and i ran  a command and it gave me
[01:14] <arand> Raiscan: If you want it permanently you'd edit /etc/default/grub to include that in addition to "quiet splash"
[01:14] <OchoZero9> xrandr --output VGA --auto --left-of LVDS

[01:15] <Raiscan> I was putting it in the wrong place :)
[01:16] <OchoZero9> hmm i found another problem, my screen used to be called LVDS now it just says default
[01:18] <bmw123> hi all, I've been trying for hours to use 10.10 with my new dell e4310 lattitudfe notebook, it boots, but the screen goes blank, i then tried to add xforcevese and that seems to work, but then installed it on my hard drive and the screen goes blank again...any simple fix for this?
[01:21] <josephnexus> hello everyone!  anyone know how I can have a script run when a particular bluetooth device comes into range?
[01:24] <Kgbwilf> How can I sync an iPad with firmware 4.2?
[01:24] <Dementio> josephnexus, what type of device?
[01:24] <josephnexus> just a bluetooth device
[01:24] <josephnexus> but I think I can just make a script that runs hcitool
[01:24] <josephnexus> and then grep the results
[01:24] <josephnexus> and if grep returns anything, it can do it's thing
[01:24] <KeNmiNE> hello all
[01:24] <josephnexus> hi there!
[01:25] <Dementio> that'd probably work
[01:25] <josephnexus> and then I can have cron run it every 5 mintues or whatever
[01:25] <Kgbwilf> Unable to sync iPad. It's syncs with rythmbox but the songs don't show in iPad
[01:26] <bmccomb> Alright, I'm not that great with linux, but my work needs me to set up a PXE boot server. I'm following this guide - http://www.techienote.com/2010/11/pxe-boot-server-on-ubuntu.html - and am already stuck on the second command. The file /etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd doesn't exist.
[01:26] <bmccomb> Fresh install of 10.10
[01:27] <openbees> anyone know microsoft visual studio option for ubuntu
[01:27] <josephnexus> openbees, what language?
[01:27] <josephnexus> c#?
[01:27] <josephnexus> if you are doing that, monodevelop might work for you... unsure though
[01:27] <brumagem> I added the line snd-hda-intel model=thinkpad to alsa-base.conf and I still hear sound out of both the headphones and speakers on the laptop.
[01:28] <Kgbwilf>  Unable to sync iPad. It's syncs with rythmbox but the songs don't show in iPad
[01:28] <Dementio> bmccomb, try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallServer instead
[01:28] <Dementio> it's more current
[01:28] <Turl> hi all
[01:28] <BiPolah> Is it possible to run rdesktop from a shell script rather than terminal every time?
[01:28] <itaylor57>  Kgbwilf thats as good as it gets with ios 4,2
[01:28] <Turl> I wonder why my gwibber sqlite database is 700MB...
[01:28] <Turl> is this a known issue?
[01:29] <bmccomb> Wooo, one on ubuntu's website. That should help. I appreciate it. I'm sure I'll get lost again quickly, but for now I'll try my eset shot. Thanks again.
[01:29] <Kgbwilf> itaylor57: any way to add songs?
[01:29] <Dementio> np, just ask if you have problems
[01:29] <itaylor57>  Kgbwilf nope

[01:32] <_klk_> hi all, i'm running ubuntu desktop 10.10.  how can i see the driver version for a 3rd party pci device that i have installed?  i know the drivers are installed but i do not know the version.
[01:33] <brumagem> Does anybody know why it is that when I plug my headphones into the jack I hear sound out of both the headphones and the speakers on the laptop?
[01:34] <airtonix> openbees: asp isn't a language
[01:34] <yeertai> hi all.
[01:34] <Nock> Brumagen that sounds kind of interesting....
[01:35] <brumagem> I know shouldn't this be a hardware thing not a software thing?
[01:35] <pac1> brumagem, it sounds like hardware.
[01:36] <pac1> jacks have a switch in them that cuts off the speaker when you insert the plug.
[01:36] <pac1> if it's not wired right, no cutoff.
[01:36] <brumagem> Well the Ubuntu does detect the proper hardware when I look at it using the sys info. tool.
[01:36] <Docfxit> I'd like a suggestion for a program that will create a bootable USB with Ubuntu witn persistance from XP .  I have tied Universal USB Installer but I get an error when trying to boot.  I have tried Unetbootin but it doesn't install persastance.
[01:37] <brumagem> See it works fine in Windows 7, though, I have them installed side to side.
[01:37] <pac1> brugamen, if there is something preventing the plug from going all the way in, that could do it.
[01:38] <napalmx> hello, does anyone know what I need to do to my smb.conf file to prevent samba from prompting me for a password?
[01:38] <brumagem> Well, I will tell ya that, that is not it because the audio works fine in Windows 7.
[01:39] <brumagem> When I plug the headphones into the jack while running Windows 7 the sound cuts off to the headphones as it should.
[01:39] <andruHA1123> can anyone help me with chmod? it doesn't seem to work
[01:39] <napalmx> what are you trying to do andru
[01:39] <jrib> andruHA1123: tell us what you are trying
[01:40] <brumagem> In Ubuntu I continue to hear sound in both the headphones and the speakers.
[01:40] <Blue1> brumagem: have you tried going to sound preferences and changing the output?
[01:40] <gimpy4682> I'm trying to install 10.10 x64 server and it is failing to install grub. How do I install grub onto /dev/sde in the installer? When I do it myself it complains about "not enough args" with "grub-install /dev/sde".
[01:40] <jose> igo fazer o terminsl funcionar
[01:40] <andruHA1123> well, i do this: chmod 755 testfile.sh but when I try to run it, it says Permission denied (i created that file just few minutes ago)
[01:40] <napalmx> you can also do chmod u+r file
[01:40] <pac1> brumagem,  never encountered the problem.    I have a desktop with no external speakers
[01:40] <jrib> andruHA1123: pastebin the contents
[01:41] <jrib> -!grub > gimpy4682
[01:41] <jrib> !grub > gimpy4682
[01:41] <jrib> gimpy4682: I'd also recommend running "check the cd for defects" (checksum)
[01:41] <pac1> brumagem,  is it possible the speaker and the headphones are being treated as two separate outputs?
[01:41] <brumagem> Yes, I tried it all.
[01:41] <andruHA1123> jrib, how do i do that? (im new to linux, just trying to learn the basics)
[01:42] <brumagem> Even added a line to alsa-base.conf that ActionPresnip told me to add.
[01:42] <jrib> !paste | andruHA1123
[01:42] <socomm> 1455 users on here - impressive
[01:43] <andruHA1123> jrib, thanks that worked! but why didn't it work when i typed ./testfile.sh ?
[01:44] <andruHA1123> actually, that just shows the content of the file, how do i run it?
[01:44] <jrib> andruHA1123: that was just for you to show me what you were doing.  What did you do differently?
[01:44] <brumagem> Internal Audio Analog Stereo is the only device shown under output in Sound preferences
[01:44] <gimpy4682> jrib: I already followed that but it still prints the same error: "Wrong number of args: mapdvfs <path>"
[01:44] <pac1> brumagen, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1689548
[01:45] <jrib> gimpy4682: checksum your install disc before we do anything else
[01:45] <jimenki> how do i set up a perform script on xchat?  for logging, joining channels etc.  Not strictly the right room, but it's the liveliest one i'm in ^_^
[01:45] <andruHA1123> jrib, i make a simple script: "#!/bin bash
[01:45] <andruHA1123> echo "Hello W0Orld"
[01:45] <andruHA1123> : and want to run it from terminal..
[01:45] <jrib> andruHA1123: it needs to say "#!/bin/bash", not "#!/bin bash"
[01:46] <andruHA1123> k, let me try that
[01:46] <brumagem> I have to go thanks anyway.
[01:47] <andruHA1123> jrib, thanks, everything works now.. :D
[01:49] <gimpy4682> jrib: CD integrity check passed
[01:49] <bmw123> hi all
[01:50] <jrib> gimpy4682: please read the link about reinstalling grub.  What are you executing exactly?
[01:50] <bmw123> hi all, I've been trying for hours to use 10.10 with my new dell e4310 lattitude notebook, it boots, but the screen goes blank, i then tried to add xforcevesa and that seems to work, but then installed it on my hard drive and the screen goes blank again...any simple fix for this?
[01:51] <gimpy4682> jrib:I'm doing this: grub-install --root-directory=/target /dev/sde
[01:51] <jrib> gimpy4682: but you're not actually writing "/target"?
[01:52] <andruHA1123> how do i move files in terminal?
[01:52] <gimpy4682> jrib: Actually yes, that's where the installer mounts what will become the new root on reboot.
[01:52] <jrib> !terminal > andruHA1123
[01:52] <jrib> andruHA1123: mv old new
[01:53] <andruHA1123> jrid, thanks, so just 'mv'?
[01:53] <jrib> andruHA1123: and you're using sudo?
[01:53] <jrib> erm
[01:53] <jrib> gimpy4682: and you're using sudo?
[01:54] <jrib> gimpy4682: wait, you're not using a live cd, you're trying to do it directly from the server install?
[01:54] <gimpy4682> jrib: Nope, I'm in the installer, just switched to a different console and I'm root.
[01:54] <Fjodor> Hi all. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qt4-x11/+bug/650539?comments=all is reported as fixed, but it isn't for me. Does anyone else see that?
[01:55] <jrib> gimpy4682: you might try just using a live cd to see what happens
[01:55] <gimpy4682> jrib: Indeed, I don't see why it wouldn't be possible there since the grub installer obviously exists.
[02:01] <Aikar> i uninstalled pulseaudio due to it having sound quirks with pidgin but just reinstalled, but i cant find the sound applet for panel, what was name of package to get volume contrl back?
[02:06] <BiPolah> aikar: Try sudo apt-get install pulseaudio?
[02:06] <Aikar> BiPolah: i had that fine, i was looking for indicator-sound but i found it now :)
[02:06] <BiPolah> Oh
[02:06] <Aikar> went over dpkg log files for when i removed pulseaudio
[02:07] <BiPolah> Aikar: Indicator applet is it not?
[02:07] <Aikar> yeah but the sound portion is a specific install
[02:07] <Aikar> which doesnt get auto reinstalled with pulse
[02:07] <sskyles> Well, I think I'm about to give up on the whole Ubuntu 10.10, PowerMac G5, nVidia thing. It doesn't work for me ... I can't get it to set the video mode to 1280x1024 and if I specify neuveau.modeset=0 at the yaboot prompt, I get what looks like nasty 8-bit color shifted graphics. Anyone know how to fix this before I toss the CDs into the shredder?
[02:07] <Aikar> pidgin sounds have a weird fuzzy sound to it under pulse tho :(
[02:08] <gimpy4682> jrib: Alright, in the rescue environment grub-install had no compalints, but on reboot it just brings me to a "grub>" prompt, nothing more.
[02:08] <Aikar> i wonder if now i switched my sound settings to support new hardware/speaker setup if i can uninstall pulse now lol
[02:08] <bastidraZor> sskyles: go for 10.04 then. it appears to have better nvidia results
[02:08] <Aikar> gimpy4682: did you do apt-get install grub? if so thats what you did wrong
[02:08] <Aikar> need to use the already installed grub on the livecd
[02:09] <napalmx> is there a hotkey to scroll up in a terminal?
[02:09] <Aikar> grub-install blah works
[02:09] <bastidraZor> napalmx: shift pgup
[02:09] <napalmx> thanks
[02:09] <Aikar> ok pulseaudio has to go, its not just pidgin
[02:09] <Fjodor> napalmx: <shift>-<pgup>
[02:09] <gimpy4682> Aikar: Nope, from the server CD I went into the rescue environment, mounted my real root, started a root shell in that root, then did a "grub-install --root-directory=/ /dev/sde"
[02:09] <Aikar> all sound pops ><
[02:09] <Aikar> gimpy4682: thats the problem
[02:09] <cyberfr0g> so i apt-get autoremove python'd
[02:09] <Aikar> gimpy4682: your suppose to do --root-directory=/media/<IDmountedhere>/
[02:10] <cyberfr0g> and now my system is completely broken
[02:10] <corben_> un italiana?
[02:10] <^Phantom^> sudo hdparm --drg-hsm-error
[02:10] <^Phantom^> gah
[02:10] <Aikar> gimpy4682: you just pointed grub to the livecd lol
[02:10] <cyberfr0g> any suggestions or which basic packages to restore?
[02:10] <^Phantom^> dang alt+tab fail
[02:10] <sskyles> bastidraZor: downloading 10.04 now... Do you know if this will eventually be fixed in 10.10?
[02:10] <gimpy4682> Aikar: I'll tyr it, but it doesn't make sense why this would be so picky "file are here, drive is there, go install yourself", why would it need more than that?
[02:10] <^Phantom^> that was meant for terminal sorry
[02:10] <Aikar> gimpy4682: you just told it to install grub for the CD file system, not your disk file system
[02:11] <Aikar> gotta do root-directory to the mounted file system
[02:11] <gimpy4682> Aikar: In the rescue enviroment, doesn't it chroot when you tell it to go into your real root?
[02:11] <bastidraZor> sshc: i have no idea. from the beginning i've heard poor nvidia support in 10.10. for me 10.04 does a superb job with nvidia
[02:11] <Aikar> gimpy4682: did you type chroot? i didnt do any of that when i had to restore
[02:12] <Blue1> bastidraZor: yeah they pulled nvidia legacy support out of 10.10
[02:12] <Aikar> i simply mounted drive, then grub-install /media/blah/ and it was done
[02:12] <Aikar> grub-install --root-directory=/media/blah*
[02:13] <sskyles> Hahaha.... "Legacy..."
[02:13] <denisesballs> can anyone tell me why i'm getting python errors for email utils when they are clearly there?
[02:13] <denisesballs> and i dont get the same errors on a different pc?
[02:15] <Aikar> cyberfr0g: look at dpkg.log and see what all packages got removed when you deleted python
[02:16] <jimenki> pretend you literally just installed ubunto 10.10, and your finding you way around this brilliant new OS ... where would you find "~/.xchat2/ Where "~" represents your home directory i.e.: $HOME/.xchat2/"

[02:18] <gimpy4682> Aikar: Alright, if I select "start a shell in the installer environment" while in the rescue environment, the grub-install command fails with the error I gave earlier.
[02:19] <Aikar> gimpy4682: are you repairing a server install or deskop install?
[02:19] <gimpy4682> Aikar: If Iselect my real root then tell it to start a shell in my real root, it DOES make / --> /dev/mapper/vg-whatev-lv-whatev which is my real root.   So --root-directory=/ is correct.
[02:19] <gimpy4682> Aikar: Server
[02:20] <gimpy4682> Aikar: Ididn't see a way to configure LVM in the desktop version, so I went with server and I'll install a GUI later.
[02:20] <Aikar> gimpy4682: can you mount into live cd and just do mount /dev/blah /media/blah then grub install /media/blah ?
[02:20] <gimpy4682> Aikar: Already tried it, it just spits out the error I posted earlier.
[02:20] <Aikar> i havent used server yet but thats how i repaired my desktop grub
[02:21] <Aikar> what error i think it was before i joined
[02:21] <Aikar> err 'started watching'
[02:21] <gimpy4682> Aikar: "Wrong number of args: mapdevfs <path>"
[02:21] <gimpy4682> Aikar: It actually clears the screen, the prints that and goes back to a root prompt.
[02:22] <Aikar> when you boot the cd, are you in a virtual environemtn?
[02:22] <Aikar> i thought ubuntu server was moreso a headless ubuntu
[02:22] <Firefishe> I'm using ubuntu 10.04.  I'm at a local grocery store, on their wi-Fi.  Some of the time, when trying to access some pages, the page takes forever to load and then the status bar indicates it's searching for opendns
[02:22] <Aikar> i didnt have any of that stuff
[02:22] <mickster04> Aikar: more different than that
[02:22] <Aikar> i just booted up, mounted drive, installed grub and rebooted
[02:22] <gimpy4682> Aikar: You mean VirtualBox/VMware? Nope, hardware, brand new.
[02:23] <neodemi> can noone help me figure out why mkv files are broke?
[02:23] <gimpy4682> Aikar Server is a ehadless ubuntu with a text-based installer and less packages instaklled by default.
[02:23] <BiPolah> Neodemi: What's wrong with them?
[02:23] <neodemi> the video appears blocky and corrupt
[02:23] <johnfg> hi folks
[02:24] <mickster04> gimpy4682: different packages, lamp can be installed by default for example
[02:24] <neodemi> it doesnt matter what i use to play them - mplayer, vlc, totem
[02:24] <mickster04> neodemi: maybe they downloaded wrong?
[02:24] <moes> Ubuntu 10.04 ..Brasero will not open it only flashes to the panel
[02:24] <neodemi> checked the filehashes and they are ok
[02:25] <BiPolah> Neodemi: Are the files corrupt? Do you have the correct software to play back matroskas?
[02:25] <mickster04> neodemi: have you updated everything?
[02:25] <gimpy4682> neodemi: Only mkvs do that? Are you running decent video (e.g. nvidia) drivers?
[02:25] <johnfg> Is there a way to choose to install a desktop while I'm installing 10.10 server?
[02:25] <neodemi> running nvidia drivers, and have no problems with codecs for any other format
[02:25] <gimpy4682> johnfg: After install, do: apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[02:26] <johnfg> gimpy4682, So, definitely have to do after?
[02:27] <johnfg> gimpy4682, Will that be gnome?  Or is there a choice?
[02:27] <mickster04> johnfg: you can get all the different ones, but i wouldn't recommend bothering, you 'd be better off installing ubuntu and then installing lamp if you need a GUI
[02:27] <gimpy4682> johnfg: gnome by default, there should be a virtual package for kde of kubuntu too.
[02:28] <gimpy4682> mickster04: but no LVM in the desktop installer's custom hard drive section.
[02:29] <moes> mickster04, Ubuntu 10.04 ..Brasero will not open it only flashes to the panel
[02:30] <megana> Hi Ubuntu. I am having difficulty booting from USb stick
[02:30] <johnfg> gimpy4682, I'm coming from a debian background, but this would be my first attempt at using ubuntu server.  Is there a difference between kubuntu and ubuntu server?  Or is the server only ubuntu?
[02:31] <mickster04> gimpy4682: are you sure? im pretty sure you can select to encyrpt your ho drive?
[02:31]  * mpzn is away: gone
[02:31] <mickster04> home*
[02:31]  * mpzn is back (gone 00:00:15)
[02:31] <mickster04> moes yeah no idea about that :/
[02:31] <BiPolah> Johnfg: Kubuntu uses KDE as it's desktop environment (as opposed to GNOME for ubuntu). Ubuntu server is headless and has no desktop environment
[02:32] <bastidraZor> ubottu: tell mpzn about away
[02:32] <Aikar> ok, what command can i turn on to do super scream log every damn thing you can in the world logging on my system to diagnose what the hell is COMPLETE dead lockign it
[02:32] <Aikar> ive reinstalled ubuntu and its still doing it
[02:32] <Aikar> absolutely no logs are written as to why
[02:32] <megana> manufacturer?
[02:32] <andruHA1123> how do i create a personalized prompt?
[02:32] <Aikar> Aikar edition?
[02:32] <BiPolah> Aikar: I'd assume a hardware fault in that case
[02:32] <megana> andru, see: PS1
[02:33] <BiPolah> Aikar: Or a damaged install
[02:33] <Aikar> BiPolah: my friend who sold me the hardware swears it was fine for him
[02:33] <mpzn> bastidraZor, oh, i've read the rules.. i thought i was in a different network
[02:33] <Aikar> BiPolah: 2 clean installs from 2 diff cd mediums damaged?
[02:33] <gimpy4682> mickster04: Encryption is not LVM, I saw nowhere to create a VG and my LVs.
[02:33] <Aikar> and the first cd installed to work laptop fine
[02:33] <megana> aikar well maybe your friend can fix the problem
[02:33] <jwhisnant> just installed maverick on a netbook, is there a way to get back to the lucid netbook theme?
[02:33] <andruHA1123> megana, what do you mean?
[02:33] <BiPolah> Aikar: It's possible. Have you redownloaded the ISOs both times?
[02:33] <Aikar> megana: hes a windows user
[02:33] <Aikar> BiPolah: yes
[02:33] <megana> andru, the system variable that swaps your prompt is called PS1
[02:34] <jwhisnant> i have looked online and havent found it
[02:34] <cyberfr0g> is there a way to undo an apt-get autoremove operation?
[02:34] <megana> it gets set via a script when you log in
[02:34] <Aikar> flash use to trigger it pretty easily on first install
[02:34] <megana> it's in your .bashrc file
[02:34] <Aikar> i thought it may be the sound card, but i just took it out of my system and i still froze
[02:34] <BiPolah> Aikar: Hardware issue of some kind then
[02:34] <thomas_> hello
[02:34] <Aikar> thats what im thinking
[02:34] <Aikar> i never had problems on my old system
[02:34] <BiPolah> Cyberfrog: Look through the logs and reinstall what was removed
[02:34] <megana> aikar I bet your system has some kind of CPU throttling thing
[02:34] <Aikar> i took my HDD out of old system to put in his new hardware and thats when i had the issues
[02:35] <BiPolah> Aikar: Probably CPU or drive, run a SMART test on the drive.
[02:35] <Aikar> (i reinstalled ubuntu thinking that it may of been issue with system swapping)
[02:35] <johnfg> BiPolah, That's what I thought, but didn't know.  Thanks!  Will proceed with the installation and chat later.
[02:35] <Aikar> smart has a few reallocated clusters yes but still lists as ok, but like i said it didnt do it before switch
[02:35] <johnfg> How's server with using kerberos, openldap and openafs?
[02:36] <johnfg> Similar to debian squeeze?
[02:36] <thomas_> i'm on ubuntu
[02:36] <Aikar> is there no command i can run to enable better logging?
[02:36] <BiPolah> Aikar: Try with another drive first then
[02:36] <megana> no aikar
[02:36] <thomas_> how do i get DALnet to connect?
[02:36] <BiPolah> Aikar: If it's COMPLETELY locking up, then it won't be able to log anyway
[02:36] <JDM_SOHC> What's a good DVD burning software for Lucid Linux..??
[02:37] <g_0_0> Aikar, can you change your hard drive cable to see if that's the problem
[02:37] <megana> soooooooo anybody been able to write a usb installer from a mac?
[02:37] <megana> CDs are so last tuesday
[02:37] <BiPolah> JDM: Brasero perhaps? It comes native to 10.10 but try looking it up on 10.04
[02:39] <BurnOut> anyone working on amazon aws with ubuntu ?
[02:40] <mickster04> megana: you can create a usb installer and boot from it? is that not good enough?
[02:41] <Firefishe> Have any of the newer LTS and kernel updates for 10.04. Lucid  suddenly started defaulting to using open dns?
[02:41] <mickster04> Firefishe: that sounds like it's the wireless you are using
[02:42] <BurnOut> one of my co-workers removed apache and now when I resintall apache2 .. I don't get any of the configuration files
[02:42] <mickster04> BurnOut: what do you mean don't get?
[02:42] <BurnOut>  /etc/apache2  contains only directories .. no files
[02:42] <Firefishe> minister04:  yeah, kinda figured but it doesn't usually give problems.
[02:43] <megana> so I dd'ed  the usb image onto a usb device. Damn thing doesn't work!
[02:43] <sacarlson> megana: how about install from the hard disk?  is a version of linux already installed with a working grub2 mbr?
[02:43] <Firefishe> Mickster04 rather
[02:43] <mickster04> Firefishe: tab complete for one thing, and what are the actual errors, avery web page or just specific ones?
[02:43] <mickster04> Firefishe: ya
[02:43] <megana> no sacarlson
[02:43] <megana> I have windows server 2003 though
[02:43] <gimpy4682> Well now, the desktop Live CD doesn't even have support to read LVM so I can't fix grub from there.  Bullshit is what it is.
[02:44] <mickster04> BurnOut: sudo apt-get autoclean and autoremove?
[02:44] <Firefishe> mickster04:  some pages load, and others don't
[02:44] <megana> sacarlson, can I install ubuntu 64 bit server that way?
[02:44] <mickster04> Firefishe: are they ssl pages that don't load?
[02:44] <sacarlson> megana: I would think so but not sure you can install grub2 from a windows system
[02:44] <megana> …… but sacarlson, It's going to be to the save disk
[02:45] <megana> same*
[02:45] <megana> so that won't work
[02:45] <Firefishe> mickster04:  not really, just pages like facebook and YouTube.
[02:45] <sacarlson> megana: well I was told you can boot to a ram disk so you can umount the hard disk after boot,  I've never tried it that way
[02:46] <Blue1> sacarlson: / megana this might help:  http://pkill-9.com/?p=314
[02:46] <Kevin1477> Is there a way to setup my new iPod Touch I just got today with Ubuntu? I have a Windows 7 VM, but I can't seem to get it to work. someone help please!!!!!
[02:46] <mickster04> Firefishe: humm what errors? screen shot? does refresshing make a difference?
[02:46] <OchoZero9> how do I make the touch screen, and pen work only for one monitor when you have an external monitor connected? When i touch the screen or hover wiht the pen it isn't where it's supposed to be (cursor) It's acting like i'm controlling both screen.
[02:47] <Blue1> Kevin1477: yeah you need to set it so it's not mtp (that's for windows) let me get my mp3 player brb
[02:47] <Kevin1477> I'm gonna need help. I have no idea what to do.
[02:48] <megana> blue1, I just want to install ubuntu server from mac
[02:48] <Firefishe> mickster04: mainly, the page takes a long time to load, and either times out, or the status bar indicates it's trying to load the openDNS search page.
[02:48] <g_0_0> Kevin1477, did you install itunes?
[02:48] <Blue1> megana: ahh
[02:48] <megana> to PC
[02:48] <Kevin1477> yes on wine, and all it does is crash wine. I tried it on both my comps
[02:48] <BiPolah> Firefishe: Have you tried setting it to use other DNS servers? Or does it just keep defaulting after that?
[02:49] <g_0_0> Kevin1477, and what about in your vm?
[02:49] <Blue1> Kevin1477: see if you can set the device to msc mode.  then it will work on linux.  my sansa fuse has an option for that.  msc mode will make it look like a hard drive.
[02:49] <jose> brasil
[02:49] <Kevin1477> g_0_0: idk how to get it to like show on the VM
[02:49] <Kevin1477> I have Windows 7 as the vm
[02:50] <mickster04> Firefishe: ask if anyone else has those problems?
[02:50] <g_0_0> Kevin1477, you need to install itunes in your windows 7 vm
[02:50] <Kevin1477> Blue1: I can't do anything with it. All it shows is a charger cord with a arrow up to itunes
[02:50] <Kevin1477> ok
[02:50] <Firefishe> mickster04:  I haven't done that type of thing in a while, and don't really recall how to do it correctly.
[02:51] <Firefishe> I don't want to mess the system up
[02:51] <g_0_0> Blue1, Kevin1477 as it's a ipod touch you need to connect it with itunes first as far as I'm aware
[02:51] <sacarlson> Blue1: I'm not sure why they go through all the trouble of mounting all that stuf just to install a grub mbr when all that is needed on a single line is: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt; sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda
[02:51] <mickster04> Firefishe: i meant in the cafe:p
[02:51] <shigutso> hi, I'd like to use hdparm to force a badblock fix in my flash drive... how can I effectively use this command for that? ps: the badblock command couldn't find any badblocks, but I know there is
[02:51] <Riobe> Hello, I'm having a bit of install woes. I used PowerISO to burn the install image for Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit onto a disc. Trying to boot from that drive gives me 3 errors starting with "udevd-work [185]: inotify_add_watch(6, /dev/dmr-2, 10) failed: no such file or directory" Anyone know what might cause that?
[02:51] <antonius> i can't get remote desktop to work in 10.10...its RIDICULOUS, it's working for all other users on this laptop except me. Does ANYONE have any ideas?  this is driving me INSANE
[02:52] <c-unit> what can i do if i need dev/mixer can i create it or something?
[02:53] <Kevin1477> g_0_0: yup you do
[02:53] <c-unit> can u tell me how to
[02:53] <Riobe> The next error is "(initramfs) mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on (/filesystem.squashfs) failed on //filesystem.squashfs
[02:53] <sacarlson> antonius: remote desktop I assume you are using vnc and maybe vino-server on one side?
[02:53] <Riobe> Anyone?
[02:54] <sacarlson> antonius: and you say everyone on this laptop works is this laptop the server or the client of the vnc session?
[02:54] <bc81> Riobe: you checked the integrity of the burned image?
[02:55] <andruHA1123> how do i display limits on resource usage in terminal?
[02:55] <Riobe> bc81: Not 100% on how to, honestly.
[02:55] <Riobe> bc81: Know where I could go to read how? Or would you mind telling me?
[02:55] <bc81> !hash
[02:55] <Firefishe> mickster04: no techs here to speak of, it's at a starbucks in a grocery store.
[02:56] <rmd_> Are there any apps anyone can think of off the top of their head that will serve a directory of mp3s over DAAP?
[02:56] <bc81> !hashes
[02:56] <mickster04> Firefishe: oh, well i dunno then :/
[02:56] <sacarlson> Riobe: that sounds like a media failure on  you cd I would expect
[02:56] <bc81> Riobe: follow that link.  also, when you boot the disc, there is an option to test it
[02:56] <antonius> sacarlson, i am trying to access this laptop from a mac on the same LAN, for each other user, it says "can be connected at 192.xxx.x.x", for me it just says "localhost"
[02:56] <g_0_0> rmd_, firefly
[02:56] <antonius> i've tried to uncheck the boxes, and check them again, as i read in some threads, no dice
[02:56] <overclucker> is it possible to not chroot local users, and chroot virtual users at the same time with vsftpd?
[02:57] <rmd_> g_0_0: Will look into it, thanks.
[02:57] <g_0_0> rmd_, sudo apt-get install mt-daapd
[02:57] <geoffmcc> im interested in email notifications on user sudo but i use ssmtp. anyone have any luck with this? everything i read uses mail command
[02:57] <antonius> sacarlson, and yes, using vino-server (the pre-installed one?) and using several different viewer on os x
[02:58] <sacarlson> antonius: I'm still missing too much as all other users that run from this mac or do they run from other systems,  you still havn't answered my original request as to what remote method are you using there are many
[02:58] <Riobe> sarcarson: That would be harsh considering it's worked up to now. lol But I wouldn't rule it out.
[02:58] <Firefishe> mickster04:  thank you  for your help. :-)  I appreciate it.
[02:58] <Riobe> bc81: Thanks for the link. I'll check it out.
[02:59] <Aikar> k so system rebooted right after i hit enter (crash sometimes deadlocks sometimes reboots), i booted into livecd so i could see the log files completely untouched after a crash, and nothing was there :/
[02:59] <BurnOut> mickster04 .. just tried .. no error, no files under /etc/apache2
[02:59] <bc81> Riobe: if that doesn't work, try cleaning the laser lens of your optical drive
[02:59] <Aikar> ima mess with reseating hardware/check cables tomorrow
[02:59] <Kevin1477> brb - lappy
[02:59] <bc81> Riobe: you never know :-)
[02:59] <Aikar> this same hdd gave me no problems before hw switch
[03:00] <sacarlson> Riobe: well I can tell you what it is doing at that point it is trying to uncompress a 600 meg file that is on your media device,  it could also be that it has failed to find a place to put the uncompressed data
[03:00] <g_0_0> Aikar could be a bad cap on MB
[03:00] <Firefishe> mickster04:  just got this error:  'server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
[03:00] <opdynamiks> I'm using SSHFS to mount a remote system. I can copy or edit anything via nano and command line, but using Nautilus I cannot copy over files or edit with gEdit
[03:00] <Kevin147_> I'm downloading itunes now.
[03:00] <Aikar> overclucker: FTP is really bad. you should look into providing SFTP and use "rssh" to lock a user down to SFTP only and no shell. combined with chrooting them to a folder too
[03:01] <Riobe> bc81: True true, you never do till you try. :)
[03:01] <Aikar> overclucker: then dont "SFTP Jail" trusted users, only sftp jail untrusted
[03:01] <Riobe> sarcarlson: Does it need to put the uncompressed data on the hard disc?
[03:01] <Riobe> sarcarlson: And would it matter that I have 2 hard drives in a RAID 1 using some nVidia drivers?'
[03:01] <antonius> sacarlson, this is a known bug, i've found a work around, but ONLY my user account can't enable it properly. Method?  VNC, port 5900, using default ubuntu vnc server, vinagre? vino?
[03:01] <Jasonn> hi, how di i stream videos from my server (via HTTP) to my comp (what prog should i use)
[03:02] <Aikar> g_0_0: i really dont know what it is, the guy was using it right before he sold it to me and had no issues on windows
[03:02] <sacarlson> Riobe: if it's a live boot I think it puts it in a ramdisk as that's what it sounds it is doing here
[03:02] <Aikar> bout ready to sell it to someone else and go back to my old rig lol
[03:03] <Aikar> and im beggining to worry its not disk related, cause 2 times already the LiveCD has froze up on me after it finished loading and failed to load desktop, just stuck at all 4 dots lit up, and REISUB didnt work
[03:03] <ilumi> need a gui app to extract data cd to an iso
[03:03] <Jasonn> does someone know what prog i can use to stream vids from my server to my kubuntu com?
[03:04] <Jasonn> comp*
[03:04] <Riobe> sacarlson: Ah, perhaps so. I have 8GB RAM so I wouldn't think that would be a problem unless it were defective in some way. I'll go try to verify that the image is good.
[03:04] <roc_> 请问一下中文聊天室怎么进
[03:04] <g_0_0> Aikar, I was talking about a bad capacitor on the motherboard, how old is the machine? A bad cap can cause unpredictable lock ups have a look over the motherboard and check if any of the caps are rounded on top. I'm not saying that's the problem but it's a possibility
[03:04] <Aikar> friend said to check the seating of video card and check power cables incase any got loose a lil on him messing in it
[03:04] <BiPolah> Jasonn: Have a look at uShare
[03:04] <Mx0> Hi, all. If I download a theme from irssi, how do i move it to me ~/.irssi/ directory?
[03:04] <sacarlson> Riobe: yes that's another posibilty that the iso image was corupted before you burned or wrote the media
[03:04] <Aikar> g_0_0: not old, its a Phenom 2 quad core rig, DDR3 mem
[03:04] <Mx0> from the irssi site*
[03:05] <g_0_0> Aikar, ok less likely then
[03:05] <roc_> 大家好请问一下中文聊天室怎么进
[03:05] <coraxx> ilumi: kiso or isomaster is good for creating .iso files from data cds
[03:05] <roc_> 谢谢了
[03:05] <roc_> 管理员帮助一下
[03:05] <Jasonn> BiPolah: is that just TO stream, im looking to stream FROM the server not to stream TO
[03:05] <coraxx> roc_: this is an english only forum
[03:05] <Aikar> !jp > roc_
[03:05] <Aikar> did i do that right >_>
[03:05] <ilumi> coraxx, thanks, kiso is for kde im guessing
[03:05] <Jasonn> lol, yes
[03:06] <geoffmcc> Aikar: i didnt start reading till middle of discussion but.. there have been times i couldnt boot live cd by disk and usb worked flawlessly
[03:06] <megana> \There is an unresolved issue in that you cannot create a bootable USB flash drive from within Mac OS X. You must create the stick in Linux or Windows.!!!!
[03:06] <coraxx> ilumi: correct ...the 'k' is always a teller ;-)
[03:06] <megana> WHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYY
[03:06] <Mx0> If I download a theme from the irssi website, how do I move it to my ~/.irssi/ directory :\
[03:06] <Aikar> my time in final fantasy XI gave me good knowledge on telling the difference between japanese and chinese :p
[03:06] <roc_> 大家好怎么进中文聊天室
[03:06] <Aikar> !jp
[03:06] <sacarlson> antonius: as you failed to tell me if the other users are on different systems then they must be on this system so just copy the invisible .* files from the working user home to your broken one or just create a new user and do that operation to be safe
[03:06] <roc_> 有中文的吗？
[03:06] <Kevin147_> o.o
[03:06] <bc81> !cn | roc_
[03:07] <rww> Aikar: shame that it's Chinese, then :<
[03:07] <Jasonn> BiPolah: is that just TO stream, im looking to stream FROM the server not to stream TO
[03:07] <Aikar> rww: really o.o?
[03:07] <coraxx> ilumi: how ever you can always run it in gnome ...just with some of the kde-libs installed
[03:07] <bc81> yep
[03:07] <Aikar> thought i saw some gana/kana looking characters
[03:07] <sacarlson> antonius: you can pick out the .* file that pertains to the vnc but I'm not sure witch ones they are
[03:08] <megana> so can I create a mac bootable disk from a linux VM?
[03:08] <ilumi> coraxx, ill try the other one, ty
[03:08] <megana> err
[03:08] <megana> can I make a USB bootable from a VM
[03:08] <itaylor57> Mx0: http://irssi.org/documentation
[03:09] <sacarlson> antonius: oh I note I have a dir in my /home/sacarlson/.vnc  so that might be the dir you should copy from the working user to the broken
[03:09] <Jasonn> BiPolah: is that just TO stream, im looking to stream FROM the server not to stream TO
[03:09] <coraxx> megana: yes ...with the non-free VirtualBox ...you can use USB-devices ... attach them to the VM ...and run whateever system you'd like
[03:09] <Aikar> g_0_0: weird thing is, before reinstall, flash videos could reproduce the problem very quickly usually. after reinstall id been fine with em, but seems soon as i uninstalled pulseaudio i started crashing. but i also crashed before uninstalling pulseaudio before the reinstall
[03:09] <megana> kewl Coraxx, I have vmware fusion though
[03:10] <Aikar> so i thought maybe sound card was bad, so i removed it from system and reenabled onboard, but still crashed
[03:10] <megana> I know aikar
[03:10] <coraxx> megana: vmware might have that same feature, but I don't recall (so _many_ version and distributions of vmware today ;-) )
[03:10] <megana> and then you put in a different harddrive and it stopped
[03:11] <megana> and your friend swears by your system too
[03:11] <g_0_0> Aikar, integrated sound ? if not you could try a different slot for the sound card
[03:11] <Aikar> megana: this is same hdd i used on my old rig that gave me no issues, i really dont think its the hdd
[03:11] <Aikar> g_0_0: yeah i switched to integrated and still crashed
[03:12] <Aikar> tomorrow ima swap video card and hdd back to old system and see if it happens there
[03:12] <OchoZero9> is there a way to use other computers or laptops as monitors?
[03:13] <Aikar> i dont know how a desktop is going to display a picture, need a monitor for that :P
[03:13] <Aikar> but yes if you unplug monitr from 1 pc and plug it to other, you can use it :P
[03:13] <rdvonz> I'm having trouble with sound in Ubuntu, my soundcard is listed fine in aplay but for some reason one application will take hold of sound, stopping any other app from being able to use it.
[03:13] <OchoZero9> Aikar,  you are limited to whatever the videocard can give you
[03:14] <OchoZero9> i only have a vga out in my laptop and i need more screens
[03:14] <OchoZero9> i found  a program for windows
[03:14] <ilumi> coraxx, it doesnt look like it does what i want, i need to save a data cd to iso, this doesn't want to read it from cd
[03:15] <rdvonz> OchoZero9: You won't be able to use it unless it's ported to linux or you can somehow run it through WINE
[03:15] <coraxx> ilumi: try kiso ... I personally use that one more often
[03:15] <OchoZero9> it's called maxvista software
[03:15] <OchoZero9> rdvonz, I'm aware, but i'm looking for a solution in linux
[03:16] <OchoZero9> I know i can do the inverse of what i want by having ssl servers on all computers
[03:16] <asmy> Hello, is there any backup of /usr/include/? I've messed mine up.
[03:16] <sacarlson> OchoZero9: I found something called quicksynergy that can make as many as 5 computers seem to be a single compute by controling they keyboard and mouse of each as if an extension of the screen of the host,  it even work between platform windows and linux
[03:16] <OchoZero9> and ssh -X -lusername
[03:17] <Kevin147_> g_0_0: Ok, I'm done installing iTunes. Now how do I get it to notice my iPod in VM?
[03:17] <OchoZero9> i want to do the opposite
[03:17] <OchoZero9> excelent, i don't have linux on all laptops
[03:18] <megana> kevin you just plug it in
[03:18] <Kevin147_> it is?
[03:18] <sacarlson> OchoZero9: I even use it to control my virtualbox that is running on the same system to allow me to cut and paste text between them
[03:18] <megana> is it connected to the vm?
[03:18] <Kevin147_> nope
[03:18] <Kevin147_> idk how :/
[03:18] <megana> vmware?
[03:19] <Kevin147_> virtualbox
[03:19] <megana> dunno then :O
[03:19] <Kevin147_> ughhhhhhhhhh!
[03:19] <coraxx> Kevin147_: I do ...hang on
[03:19] <OchoZero9> sacarlson, I want to use one app though
[03:19] <OchoZero9> is that possible?
[03:19] <Kevin147_> coraxx: oh ok, thanks :D
[03:19] <OchoZero9> it's for electronics design
[03:19] <ldiamond> I'm trying to use a ICH10R raid-1 array in Ubuntu, how can I do that? (I don't want to use software raid because I want the array to be used by windows or ubuntu)
[03:20] <OchoZero9> but I'll use photoshop as an example, all your tools in one screen and your image on another
[03:20] <megana> ocho, that just seems annoying
[03:20] <asmy> Is there any backup of /usr/include/? I've messed mine up. (No, I don't want to reinstall ubuntu.)
[03:20] <sacarlson> OchoZero9: one app with multi window or just one big screen.  it won't do a big screen but you can run like openoffice and all of them and cut and paste between them
[03:20] <Riobe> bc81: Good call. Looks like it got corrupted on download or something. The MD5 doesn't match any of them.
[03:21] <Riobe> bc81: I'll redownload the ISO.
[03:21] <OchoZero9> hmm
[03:21] <coraxx> Kevin147_: there are 2 ways ... 1)  Click on the menu under Devices -> USB Devices --> (and then your Apple usb unit)   .... 2) Before you start your virtual machine, use the USB-filter option ...make sure that you Apple Ipod is added to the filters, that would automatically attach your unit to your virtual machine.
[03:22] <OchoZero9> i think you are on to something
[03:22] <Kevin147_> thanks
[03:22] <OchoZero9> if all screens ssh into the program
[03:23] <OchoZero9> when you compile in one screen, your output screen you can refresh or reopen the file
[03:23] <sacarlson> OchoZero9: who me?  I'm high on life man http://code.google.com/p/quicksynergy/
[03:24] <coraxx> Kevin147_: your welcome :-)  (Note:  This feature is only available in the non-free version of VirtualBox, not the OSE-version ...secondly...you need to have permission to attach devices, in your Ubuntu group-permission managment, make sure your user has the 'VirtualBox'-priviligies)
[03:24] <white_magic> i got this problem: the numeric keypad of my Acer Aspire 5741-5763 does not work AT ALL on the latest, most updated version of Ubuntu x64
[03:24] <yeertai> :)
[03:24] <white_magic> any ideas?
[03:24] <Kevin147_> ugh..I got the OSE-version ;/
[03:25] <sacarlson> I would like to setup an encrypted partition that would get it's key from an on-line Internet source so that if it was physically stolen that the on-line key could be turned off and data would be safe.  Does such a documented method exist using a luks encrypted partitions or other?
[03:25] <coraxx> Kevin147_: no worries ....installing is easy .... here goes....
[03:26] <Kevin147_> coraxx: k
[03:26] <coraxx> Kevin147_: go to the www.virtualbox.org website ... navigate to 'Downloads' --> 'VirtualBox 4.0.4 for Linux hosts' ...
[03:27] <Kevin147_> coraxx: k downloading
[03:27] <coraxx> Kevin147_: scroll-down to the 'Debian-based Linux distributions'-section ..
[03:27] <Kevin147_> coraxx: oh ok
[03:28] <coraxx> Kevin147_: wow wow wow Kevin, slow down my friend ;-) ...you might wanna add the repository to your Ubuntu ...you you can get regular updates automatically :-)
[03:28] <asmy> Hello, is there any backup of /usr/include/? I've messed mine up.
[03:28] <Kevin147_> coraxx: k done
[03:28] <andruHA1123> How do i do this: "•	Try to read compressed man pages without decompressing them first."??
[03:29] <bisu[Shield]> I know that cronjobs are running, how do I see them ps -???
[03:29] <jcollierdavis> my icewm "start" menu was pretty easy to figure out, but there's some entries not listed in .icewm/menu. How do i edit those?
[03:29] <gaelfx> !virtualbox
[03:29] <Kevin147_> coraxx: alright done lol
[03:30] <Kevin147_> I added it to the sources
[03:30] <coraxx> Kevin147_: did you add the authorization key as well ?
[03:30] <Kevin147_> yup
[03:30] <Kevin147_> er
[03:30] <Kevin147_> well
[03:30] <Kevin147_> didn't work
[03:30] <Kevin147_> oh i gotta download it..opps
[03:31] <gaelfx> !enter | Kevin147_
[03:31] <bc81> Riobe: sorry, was afk.  if you have a torrent client, you can load the "corrupted" iso you already have, and it will download only the parts it needs to complete the image
[03:31] <terry> bisu[Shield]: ps aux
[03:31] <jerry__> sup yall
[03:32] <bc81> Riobe: unless of course you have super-speed internet, then it doesn't really matter (but can reduce the load on the servers)
[03:32] <terry> jerry__: supper's over
[03:32] <coraxx> Kevin147_: cool :-) ... when you have the authorization key install ...and updated your repository ...all you need is to remove your virtualbox-ose  (do NOT select 'completely remove', just 'remove') ...when that has been done, then install VirtualBox 4.0 :-)
[03:32] <aleiex> hi, anyone knows how to ceck my architecture? on win 7?
[03:32] <Kevin147_> alright thanks :P
[03:33] <gaelfx> does apt-p2p work automagically, or do I have to invoke it? is there any configuration needed?
[03:33] <cntb> hi did not know macbookpro 's EFI ( BIos on other old intelmachines ) was not made useer accesible - so  nomessing with grub on these machines and ubuntu only on virtualbox?
[03:33] <bc81> aleiex: try ##windows
[03:34] <bastidraZor> aleiex: i didn't think windows 7 had a 32bit version.. which would indicate 64bit
[03:34] <cntb> aleiex go to intel site
[03:34] <aleiex> bastidrazor this laptop said 32 bits os
[03:34] <gaelfx> bastidraZor: they do, they run on netbooks as well
[03:34] <aleiex> but i want to know if is 64 bit comptaible to instal kubuntu
[03:35] <gaelfx> aleiex: is it a netbook by chance?
[03:35] <thebigham> Have anyone tried jolicloud 1.1.1??? I can't seem to open firefox/opera/Google Chrome on it. The only browser that  actually opens is Chromium. Chromium wouldn't load the login page in my school wifi. No login = no internet for me =(. I know this is the wrong place to ask this. I have checked everywhere and couldn't find a solution. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
[03:35] <cntb> 32 bit will still be around for some time
[03:35] <aleiex> gaelfx it is a notebook
[03:35] <ubuntuWantaBe> hey does anyone know why Transmission won`t come up when I try to DL ?
[03:35] <aleiex> well the laptop is toshiba satellite l5xxx
[03:36] <gaelfx> aleiex: http://www.eggheadcafe.com/software/aspnet/29381575/problem-determining-my-processor-architecture.aspx
[03:36] <gaelfx> ubuntuWantaBe: what are you trying to download?
[03:36] <jimenki> hello.  I was using ubunto software centre downloading a couple programs, and my system crashed, i turned it off via the power button, and now i can't install anything on software centre... "unhandled error".  Any ideas?
[03:36] <ubuntuWantaBe> a movie
[03:36] <myk_robinson> running ubuntu 10.10 and would love some help getting the scroll feature working on my laptop touchpad. Its a Gateway ID49C07u
[03:36] <gaelfx> ubuntuWantaBe: but is it a torrent?
[03:37] <ubuntuWantaBe> yes
[03:37] <myk_robinson> the windows driver claims its an alsp touchpad, but ubuntu marks it as a PS2 mouse, apparently without scrollwheel :(
[03:37] <ubuntuWantaBe> but transmission is not an option
[03:37] <gaelfx> ubuntuWantaBe: can you see the torrent now? right-click it and select properties, then go to the tab that says "Opens With"
[03:37] <ubuntuWantaBe> yes
[03:37] <ubuntuWantaBe> oh ok
[03:38] <aleiex> transmission i'ts ok for me
[03:38] <gaelfx> ubuntuWantaBe: did that do it?
[03:39] <gaelfx> aleiex: did you find the information you were looking for?
[03:39] <Paddy_NI> thebigham: sorry mate but you said it yourself :-)
[03:39] <geoffmcc> sending email on user login via .bashrc - dont like that user could just remove the line and i wont get emails. any alternative way without .bashrc to send email on login?
[03:39] <cntb> once on virtualbox how will ubuntu10.10 install  onmacbookpro ? no hardware problems?
[03:40] <aleiex> gaelfx i just downloaded everest tto check info
[03:40] <ubuntuWantaBe> no I am still working on it
[03:41] <aleiex> i can't install kubuntu 10.10 on satellite pro core i3
[03:41] <kevincsd>  /join #rubyonrails
[03:41] <aleiex> when i set acpi=off
[03:41] <aleiex> i can tun with live cd
[03:41] <ubuntuWantaBe> there is no properties to go to
[03:41] <jimenki> hello.  I was using ubunto software centre downloading a couple programs, and my system crashed, i turned it off via the power button, and now i can't install anything on software centre... "unhandled error".  Any ideas?
[03:42] <yeertai> i can`t install ubuntu 10.10 on HP Cp45
[03:42] <aleiex> jimenki open synaptics
[03:42] <aleiex> and check repair broken packages
[03:42] <ubuntuWantaBe> ah ha found it thanks
[03:42] <varsha_jk> hi, I need a little help. I installed kde-full on my Ubuntu 10.04 using Synaptic, but after that gnome shows to be uninstalled.
[03:43] <ubuntuWantaBe> you guys are the best
[03:43] <amin_> does any one know about NginX
[03:43] <aleiex> varsha_jk
[03:43] <aleiex> sudo apt-get install gnome
[03:43] <gaelfx> ubuntuWantaBe: we try, thanks ;)
[03:43] <varsha_jk> aleiex: does installing kde remove gnome?
[03:44] <aleiex> varsha_jk
[03:44] <gaelfx> varsha_jk: no, but it might make things a little difficult having both of them on the same machine
[03:44] <aleiex> i will try to show you how to install 2 graphics on ubuntu 10.04
[03:44] <aleiex> you can install kubuntu, xubuntu lubuntu
[03:44] <aleiex> wait a second
[03:45] <varsha_jk> gaelfx, aleiex: right now, I am using gnome, but in the Synaptic it shows uninstalled. #confused
[03:45] <bastidraZor> aleiex: gaelfx varsha_jk kde and gnome can function perfectly well installed together.
[03:45] <aleiex> well
[03:45] <aleiex> first of all
[03:45] <BiPolah> bastidrazor: Would that be with configuring them to not do the same things?
[03:45] <aleiex> install this
[03:45] <aleiex> http://gtk-apps.org/content/show.php/Gnome+Menu+Extended+%28Debian+Package%29?content=73515
[03:46] <aleiex> this is for get all gnome aplications 1 one submenu
[03:46] <aleiex> when u are in kde
[03:46] <aleiex> http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/K+Menu+Gnome+%28Debian+Package%29?content=31031&PHPSESSID=39c71268b399effce8c57dbf8ff09e16
[03:46] <aleiex> then install this
[03:46] <bastidraZor> BiPolah: an example
[03:46] <aleiex> for get all kde aplications in submenu when u are in gnome
[03:47] <aleiex> after u installed those packages for order kde and gnome apps
[03:47] <aleiex> sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[03:47] <aleiex> to install kde
[03:47] <sacarlson> OchoZero9: and if you find this on linux let me know http://www.multi-monitors.com/SUPER_PC_Multiple_Monitor_Walls_Multi_screen_Video_Wall_s/5197.htm
[03:47] <aleiex> i think if u want to install  gnome again
[03:47] <aleiex> must be ubuntu-desktop
[03:48] <bc81> !enter | aleiex
[03:48] <myk_robinson> Anyone able to help me with my new laptop touchpad scroll not functioning?
[03:48] <BiPolah> Bastidrazor: If you were have panels for both GNOME and KDE, would they not conflict, or at least be redundant?
[03:48] <intok> whats the best way to scan a drive for duplicate files?
[03:48] <varsha_jk> aleiex: I am confused because I am using gnome right now, but still it is not installed as per the Synaptic.
[03:49] <aleiex> finally if you want to remove kde an get "virgin gnome"
[03:49] <aleiex> http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome.php
[03:49] <coraxx> myk_robinson: I'll try ...I'm assuming you recently installed Maverick ?
[03:49] <aleiex> varsha_jk maybe u need to restart to watch if gnome still installed
[03:49] <myk_robinson> coraxx: yes. New laptop
[03:50] <varsha_jk> aleiex: ok then, I'll restart. Hope it is still there.
[03:50] <coraxx> myk_robinson: did the problem occur after the main installation ...or was it after your updated the software packages ?
[03:50] <myk_robinson> coraxx: in Windows, it is identified as an Alsp touchpad, but in Ubuntu, it is identified as a PS2 Generic Mouse
[03:50] <varsha_jk> aleiex: I'll be right back.
[03:50] <myk_robinson> coraxx: problem is present after a clean install with no updates run
[03:50] <myk_robinson> I ran updates and he problem persists
[03:51] <jimenki> aleiex, thanks very much.  from a horrid newb -_-
[03:51] <bc81> intok: fslint (GUI) or fdupes (CLI)
[03:51] <bastidraZor> BiPolah:  the panel is gnome-panel in gnome and i'm not sure in kde.. unless you have gnome-panel run in kde then you no issues. if you do have gnome-panel run in kde it would use the same configuration
[03:51] <coraxx> myk_robinson: can I plz get the full vendor and model number for the laptop :-) ?
[03:51] <BiPolah> Intok: Try Kleansweep
[03:51] <myk_robinson> coraxx: Absolutely, thank you   It is a Gateway ID49C07u
[03:52] <BiPolah> Bastidrazor: If you were to run both of them at the same time and they were in the same place, would they not appear over one another or next to each other?
[03:52] <bc81> !best | intok
[03:52] <bastidraZor> BiPolah: i have not tried that but i would suspect it would try to.
[03:52] <aleiex> HI, i want to install ubuntu10.10 but show some acpi error
[03:53] <aleiex> i set acpi=off and check try ubuntu
[03:53] <Osmodivs> iS THERE  any software in Ubuntu that lets you send text messages to a cel phone?
[03:53] <aleiex> and iot works
[03:53] <BiPolah> Bastidrazor: that's what I mean by conflicting then. You couldn't run them both fully side by side, you'd have to have some bits from one and other bits from the other
[03:53] <aleiex> but if i install it with acpi=off its ok or not?
[03:53] <BiPolah> Computor janitor is basically apt-get autoremove, right?
[03:53] <terry> Osmodivs: It takes no special software to send text to a cell phone.  It's no different than sending any other email.
[03:53] <varsha_jk> aleiex: hi, I am back. Gnome still intact.
[03:53] <bastidraZor> BiPolah: if you're using kde why would you use gnome-panel? the bottom taskbar in kde does everything that the top bar in gnome-panel does..
[03:54] <sacarlson> aleiex: I guess worst case at shutdown you will have to force the computer to turn off instead of the software turn off method
[03:54] <coraxx> myk_robinson: damn...I'm having trouble finding a webpage ...but on this page is the solution ...with involves adding to lines to a terminal...and it should be fixed.  A nice guy published a fix in his PPA on launchpad
[03:54] <bastidraZor> BiPolah: top and bottom panel.. for that matter
[03:54] <intok> bc81 BiPolah thanks, need to remove the dupe mp3s, have some up to 4 times over after merging all the cruft from my old comps to a 1.5Tb drive....
[03:54] <coraxx> myk_robinson: hang on...I'll look
[03:54] <myk_robinson> coraxx: i think i may have downloaed that, a synaptics dkms?
[03:54] <bc81> BiPolah: "It also suggests configuration changes that might benefit you."
[03:54] <myk_robinson> haven't rebooted yet
[03:54] <Osmodivs> terry: Well, I am no sending a message to a Blackberry or iPhone, I am sending it to a NOKIA 1100 - those with a green and black displays -
[03:55] <punkmexic> i see some black bars in my screen resolution 1024 or 800...but not when i use 1200 my laptop is widescreen anyone can teach me to stretch the 4:3 resolution (1024x768)??
[03:55] <sacarlson> aleiex: I have had systems that way that I had to halt them and wait for the system to be halted then hold the power switch to turn them off
[03:55] <coraxx> myk_robinson: fra a PPA ?
[03:55] <aleiex> D=
[03:55] <BiPolah> Bastidrazor: I'm just saying they would conflict if you were using both, as you were saying that it's possible to use them together.
[03:55] <coraxx> myk_robinson: *fra=from
[03:55] <aleiex> i don't like this netbook
[03:55] <IRCsome> How wold I go about setting a cron process to periodically remove the trash? What I have thus far fails to work :*/1 * * * * rm -rf /home/.local/share/Trash/*
[03:55] <aleiex> i will never buy intel
[03:55] <myk_robinson> coraxx: i got it from a discussion on a launchpad page, post 115 if i recall
[03:55] <myk_robinson> coraxx: didn't add a ppa to synaptic though
[03:55] <BiPolah> Aleiex: Please avoid fanboyism.
[03:55] <bc81> intok: be sure to compare files by size and name (in case there are song with the same title/file name etc)
[03:56] <varsha_jk> aleiex: gaelfx: thanks so much. I have a job interview today, and got worried this wouldn't get off my head, is something goes wrong. Thanks.
[03:56] <varsha_jk> if* ^
[03:56] <BiPolah> Intok: You may have some files in higher quality which you'll obviously want over the lower quality ones
[03:56] <coraxx> myk_robinson: ok...caus' the fix I remember involving installing a packages with the fix.
[03:56] <terry> Osmodivs: Here's how it works<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or<EMAIL_ADDRESS>etc. etc. etc.
[03:56] <bastidraZor> BiPolah: you can install both kde and gnome on the same box and not have issues. which enviroment you use matters.. at login you would choose kde or gnome.. then how everything runs accordingly. they would not conflict unless you tried to be weird liek you're suggesting
[03:57] <Aikar> ok new info on my deadfreeze, this time it switched to the ubuntu startup screen with the 4 dots instead the split second before hard lock. any suggestions based on that?
[03:57] <myk_robinson> coraxx: this may be the one, then. the file i downloaded and installed is synaptics-dkms_1.0.0_all.deb
[03:57] <myk_robinson> coraxx: gonna be here a minute? I will reboot and maybe everything will magically be fine. If so, then this is officially the best laptop I have owned.
[03:57] <BiPolah> Aikar: It froze with the loading dots up? What have you changed since last time?
[03:57] <coraxx> myk_robinson: are you sure your touchpad model is a 'synaptics' ?
[03:58] <coraxx> myk_robinson: ok then ... I'll cross my fingers :-)
[03:58] <myk_robinson> coraxx: its an ALPS, but all documentation regarding ALPS that I have found also says that a synaptics driver works for many
[03:58] <terry> bastidraZor: I wouldn't be so sure.
[03:59] <OchoZero9> sacarlson, that's pretty sick
[03:59] <Osmodivs> terry, Well, it's because I downloaded SIM-IM from synaptic, and there is this SMS option where you have to set up the port for conection, but there is no way to change the blank empty Port box
[03:59] <cntb> created and started ubuntu 10.10 VM from newest VirtualBox have only fully working pendrive installbut am offered only the DVD drive how to work this around
[03:59] <bastidraZor> terry: why would you use gnome-panel when the taskbar in kde does it all?
[03:59] <myk_robinson> coraxx: I'm open to suggestions. I have been googling for an hour, and there are so many varied responses. Didnt just want to blindly try everything I read, especially when many fixes refer to files that no longer exists since xorg.conf was done away with
[03:59] <sacarlson> OchoZero9: is sick a good thing?
[03:59] <OchoZero9> yes
[03:59] <terry> bastidraZor: I don't know
[04:00] <sacarlson> OchoZero9: oh maybe slick
[04:00] <coraxx> myk_robinson: I looking at a video, where I know the speaker will refer to this fix ...hang on
[04:00] <myk_robinson> coraxx: be right back.
[04:00] <myk_robinson> coraxx: in that case i will stay put
[04:00] <bastidraZor> terry: which i guess explains why you aren't sure.
[04:00] <OchoZero9> a lot of overpriced things here
[04:01] <Osmodivs> 809: Are you talking about Apple?
[04:01] <IRCsome> How wold I go about setting a cron process to periodically remove the trash?
[04:01] <terry> Osmodivs: I have not idea about SIM-IM. Is it in the repos?
[04:01] <sacarlson> OchoZero9: well I would think you could combine multi X11 servers together into a single host proxy that would direct them all to display something like this
[04:01] <OchoZero9> http://www.multi-monitors.com/product_p/ivu9.htm a 400$ computer can do this
[04:01] <Osmodivs> terry: Yes
[04:01] <OchoZero9> Osmodivs, no but apple is overpriced too
[04:01] <OchoZero9> ipod4g would be the onlything they priced right
[04:02] <terry> Osmodivs: Why would you need it in the first place, (is what I do not understand).
[04:02] <Osmodivs> terry: well, it would be just easier to send SMS thru my PC than a cel phone
[04:02] <bc81> IRCsome: youcan use grsync, add "rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/expunged/* ~/.local/share/Trash/files/* ~.local/share/Trash/info/*"  or simply "~.local/share/Trash/*"
[04:03] <OchoZero9> sacarlson, in theory one cheap video card can do this
[04:03] <Osmodivs> terry, That way I do nto take my hands out of the keyboard
[04:03] <terry> Osmodivs: Did you not read what I just told you?
[04:03] <OchoZero9> since it is not 9 times 1080p but 1080p divided by 9
[04:03] <bc81> IRCsome: last command, correction : "~/.local/share/Trash/"  (forgot the slash)
[04:03] <OchoZero9> nevermind, i read wrong
[04:03] <OchoZero9> you'd need 5 video cards
[04:03] <sacarlson> OchoZero9: well I have all these old computers and monitors around here it would be cool If I could combine them to be something usefull for free not $400
[04:03] <terry> Osmodivs: What mail client do you use?  Or do you use one?  If not, what web-based mail server do you use?
[04:04] <OchoZero9> that $400 you already spent
[04:04] <OchoZero9> your computer(s)
[04:04] <Osmodivs> terry: I dont want to send e-mails, i want to send text messages (SMS) to a cel phone
[04:04] <terry> Osmodivs: Surely what ever you  use has contacts or addressbook capability.  Right?
[04:04] <sacarlson> OchoZero9: ya but now they collect dust
[04:04] <bc81> IRCsome: sorry again, not grsync..i was speaking in another channel about that :S
[04:04]  * bc81 needs some sleepy time
[04:05] <OchoZero9> i want to do this on the cheap
[04:05] <coraxx> myk_robinson: sorry ..could see the rep. on the ...reboot see what happens ...hope for an update....or search some more on google....I guess that my only sorry advice for now
[04:05] <IRCsome> bc81: Yeah, I was question why I'd need gsync :|
[04:05] <terry> Osmodivs: It takes no special software to send text to a cell phone.  It's no different than sending any other email.
[04:05] <OchoZero9> 1080p 21.5 screens are about 120$
[04:05] <coraxx> myk_robinson: *could = couldn't
[04:05] <Osmodivs> terry, Well, some of those old NOKIA 1100... well, i'll try sending one from Hotmail
[04:05] <terry> Osmodivs: SMS is no different than email.  (Is there any other way to say it?)
[04:05] <myk_robinson> coraxx: hey, i just appreciate someone talking with me sometimes. I will reboot and report back shortly
[04:06] <sacarlson> OchoZero9: I already have two monitors on my desk and use what I showed you,  I would also like to try make them combined as in this case
[04:06] <coraxx> myk_robinson: ok ...let me know if it gets fixed :-)
[04:06] <Ares> Hi, how do you remove the password complexity requirements?
[04:06] <BiPolah> Ares: On what?
[04:06] <Ares> BiPolah: for the logon password for passwd
[04:07] <sacarlson> OchoZero9: I will find a software solution
[04:07] <OchoZero9> that's why i said those items are overpriced
[04:07] <coi> anyone see anything useful with using full disk encryption + home encryption ?
[04:07] <OchoZero9> software is easy to write, and exists
[04:07] <IvanBliminse> Hello I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my old hp laptop and have a couple quick questions... anyone able to help?
[04:08] <gaelfx> does apt-p2p work automagically, or do I need to invoke it? does it require configuration?
[04:08] <terry> Osmodivs: Only difference is that some phones may only accept messages that are less than 128 characters. (I think it's 128, not totally sure, it's been a while, because now days, most phones will recieve much longer, or pretty much anything you want to send, even multi-media.)
[04:08] <BiPolah> Ares: Look in/etc/pam.d/common-password
[04:08] <coraxx> IvanBliminse: yes...shoot :-)
[04:08] <BiPolah> Ares: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/user-management.html
[04:08] <bc81> coi: more data security.  eg. if your computer is stolen, theif will not steal your informations
[04:08] <BiPolah> Terry: Perhaps your mean 160? That's the standard limit for SMS messages
[04:08] <gaelfx> coi: can you actually do that? I'm not sure there would be much point anyways, FDE should encrypt your folder too
[04:09] <coi> gaelfx, its in the installer options
[04:09] <Ares> BiPolah: Yeah I was looking at that, how do I remove the requirements altogether? I tried adding max=4 but that didn't work
[04:09] <IvanBliminse> coraxx: thanks so much. when I installed it from a CD, after install and it restarted it gave me a bunch of grub errors.. then ejected CD.. booted fine after restarting there.  My only problem now is when I start, instead of getting the loading screen (with the dots) it is just a black screen with a flashing cursur.. whats wrong?
[04:09] <gaelfx> coi: interesting, good to know. I suppose it's great if you're paranoid
[04:09] <BiPolah> Ares: Perhaps set min to 0?
[04:10] <IRCsome> bc81: My crontab still doesn't work
[04:10] <terry> BiPolah: Ok, maybe it IS 160.  Like I say, I don't remember for sure.  But early on, there was a limit and if you sent more than that limit, some phones just would not receive it.  And if it wasn't straight text, or contained graphics, etc.
[04:10] <coi> gaelfx, i guess FDE will protect your non booted system, but once booted, /home enc will protect your /home
[04:10] <coi> make sense?
[04:10] <gaelfx> yeah, that makes sense
[04:11] <gaelfx> I suppose I'm starting to see how it might be useful :P
[04:11] <bc81> IRCsome: sorry, i can[t help you with it.  you might want to try "Scheduled tasks" in the software center
[04:11] <coi> :)
[04:11] <OchoZero9> sacarlson, so 3240p  64 inches is $1080
[04:11] <myk_robinson> coraxx: no luck.
[04:11] <IRCsome> bc81: Yeah, that's what I've been using, but no luck there either. Thanks anyway!
[04:11] <coraxx> IvanBliminse: if it does boot after a short while then nothing is wrong ... that 'splash' screen takes a while to appear, depending on how fast the kernel loads.  On older and slower machines it may take some time for all the hardware devices to respond...so a cursor appears in the top right corner, as the machines is still running in 'text-mode'
[04:12] <bc81> IRCsome: the command won't empty your trash, or?
[04:12] <Ares> BiPolah: Didn't help
[04:12] <coraxx> myk_robinson: damn .... not all machines 'agrees' with the optimistic updates in the new kernel for Maverick.
[04:12] <Ares> I hope I don't need a restart xD
[04:12] <BiPolah> OchoZero9: 3240p? What? Most things only support output up to 1080p, except for some high-end video cards which can 2560x1600 or something like that but which isn't really used by many things
[04:13] <BiPolah> Ares: Can't help you with it then, sorry.
[04:13] <myk_robinson> coraxx: really bothersome, simple scroll is a basic feature. I love ubuntu but this is ridiculous :(
[04:13] <Ares> BiPolah: Thanks anyway
[04:13] <IvanBliminse> coraxx: that is what I assumed.. it eventually does load, and sometimes i do get the splash screen. Next ? if you don't mind.  I had ubuntu 8.04 and remember having to install flash and java after installing OS...
[04:13] <OchoZero9> BiPolah, I know.
[04:13] <sacarlson> coi: you don't need both installed if you already have full disk encryption don't encrypt home also then you have encrypt in encrypt it will slow your file access down
[04:14] <IvanBliminse> coraxx: is there a standard, heres all the regular stuff you'll need to install after loading 10.04 list you can point me too..
[04:14] <coraxx> myk_robinson: their might be an update under way ... if its any help, the Natty Narwhale is gonna come out soon :-)
[04:14] <coi> sacarlson,  "i guess FDE will protect your non booted system, but once booted, /home enc will protect your /home"
[04:14] <myk_robinson> coraxx: perhaps I'll try a live version of it and see what's what
[04:14] <OchoZero9> but it would bring 1080p to myopic people not wearing glasses at the time
[04:14] <tyler__> So, I have a couple of questions about licensing.
[04:15] <OchoZero9> every 9 pixel will represent 1
[04:15] <OchoZero9> less color bleeding and everything
[04:15] <sacarlson> coi: once your loged in your /home is also accesable,  I guess if more than one person used the system maybe there would be a use to dual encrypt?
[04:16] <tyler__> I work for a large electronics recycling corporation and I'm wondering if Ubuntu could be pre-installed on refurbished computers and be re-sold on Ebay in a legal fashion.
[04:16] <OchoZero9> sacarlson, you nkow what's another idea? having a tablet, ipad or similar
[04:16] <OchoZero9> to control the screens
[04:16] <coraxx> IvanBliminse: there is a whole package called ubuntu-restricted-extras , where all that stuff is included  (however I personally remove the openjdk packages afterwards and the iced-plugin....and the install the sun-java6-plugin instead)
[04:16] <b0tz> Hi, I am wondering if anyone can tell me if ubuntu
[04:16] <coi> sacarlson, that is true for personal systems
[04:16] <sacarlson> OchoZero9: how would that combine them?
[04:16] <b0tz> Hi, I am wondering if anyone can tell me if ubuntu\ubu based system (linux mint) can use the dell st2220t monitor for single or multi touch, here is the product page http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&cs=19&sku=320-1819&baynote_bnrank=3&baynote_irrank=0&~ck=baynoteSearch
[04:16] <BiPolah> b0tz: Ubuntu certainly can [blank]. It's rather good at it.
[04:16] <techMiles> I am trying to run an upgrade to 10.10 via the update manager, but it gives me an error during the 'calculating the changes' stage.
[04:17] <BiPolah> techMiles: try doing it through terminal? sudo apt-get upgrade
[04:17] <OchoZero9> tablets are costly,
[04:17] <b0tz> my bad BiPolah.
[04:17] <techMiles> BiPolah, tried. :/
[04:17] <terrapin>  iced-plugin crashes firefox 3.6.14 +
[04:17] <techMiles> trying to go from 10.04 -> 10.10
[04:17] <OchoZero9> i'ts just a great idea  to control these setups
[04:18] <terrapin> to firefox 4+
[04:18] <IvanBliminse> coraxx: Does openjdk and iced-plugin come with ubuntu restriced?  next ? .. i have a usb mouse plugged in, and it works fine, but if i use my touchpad (laptop), it no longer recognizes the usb mouse... anyway to fix this?
[04:18] <BiPolah> techMiles: Isn't that sudo apt-get dist-upgrade?
[04:18] <OchoZero9> an ipad is like 500 bucks
[04:18] <b0tz> Any ideas?
[04:18] <techMiles> BiPolah, yes, and I tried that. It upgraded the images
[04:18] <OchoZero9> that's the price of 4 monitors lol
[04:18] <Boatingbum23> Hi, is there a way to sync two ubuntu computers so that they have the same programs and settings and such? essentially have two copies of the same computer?
[04:18] <gaelfx> what's a decent wireless n router with usb port?
[04:18] <techMiles> but not the packages or the package sources.
[04:18] <sacarlson> coi: seems a bit over kill to do a full disk encryption but I guess on a bussness server that kept databases with credit card info outside the /home dir there would be a need for it.  otherwise for personal use seem just the /home encrypt would be enuf
[04:18] <coraxx> IvanBliminse: yes those to are automatically installed when selecting the ubuntu-restricted-extras package ...just de-install them and you'll be ok.
[04:19] <BiPolah> IvanBliminse: Yes. It comes with Adobe flash, mp3 support, avi support, mpeg support, MS TTF support, .rar support, Java (OpenJRE) and IcedTea, among a few other things
[04:19] <terrapin> i successfully installed maverick to a USB >:)
[04:19] <BiPolah> IvanBliminse: If you install via Ubuntu Software Centre you could select which parts to install and which to leave out
[04:19] <coraxx> IvanBliminse: you might wanna updateif you haven't already done so ...and then see if the problem persist
[04:20] <terrapin> i recommend removing IcedTea it will crash Firefox
[04:20] <b0tz> can anyone can tell me if ubuntu\ubu based system (linux mint) can use the dell st2220t monitor for single or multi touch, wether with unity or regular gnome - here is the product page http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&cs=19&sku=320-1819&baynote_bnrank=3&baynote_irrank=0&~ck=baynoteSearch
[04:20] <IvanBliminse> coraxx: xchat was the first thing i did once i updated lol.. so i haven't done anything.. how do i updateif?
[04:20] <sacarlson> coi: I am presently working on a project to encrypt systems with online keys so the user won't even notice until it gets stolen then they can shut it down
[04:20] <BiPolah> Terrapin: I'm using IcedTea with Firefox (3.6.10) and I'm yet to crash
[04:20] <Gartral> HELP I blasted gnome and now i can't connect too wifi too recover, need terminal wifi commands.. I can get the card up but it won't associate.
[04:20] <coi> sacarlson, very cool. notice any performance hits?
[04:20] <coraxx> IvanBliminse: use the update-manager in the System --> Administration --> Update manager menu
[04:21] <BiPolah> IvanBliminse: Or: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[04:21] <OchoZero9> sacarlson, my computers has similar features i'm not too informed on the subject though.. Intel Management tools or security
[04:21] <sacarlson> coi: I'm running in a virtualbox and seems to run ok not much diffence but haven't done much testing on speed
[04:21] <terrapin> BiPolah, weird, Firefox crashes 3.6* to 4.0* with iced installed
[04:21] <IvanBliminse> coraxx: oh.. i already did that.. no new updates found...any other ideas?
[04:21] <terrapin> here
[04:21] <coi> sacarlson, FDE?
[04:22] <terrapin> i just used Sun Java plug iin
[04:22] <sacarlson> coi: I have a version that is fde but the first online test will be just single partitions
[04:22] <coraxx> IvanBliminse: if you've pushed the "Check" button first ...and no updates are presented...then you are all up-to-date :-) ...I just wanted to make sure that you were.
[04:23] <IvanBliminse> coraxx: yes, i had a mess of updates to install since i used an ISO that i made a couple months ago
[04:23] <IvanBliminse> coraxx: thanks so much for your help
[04:23] <coraxx> IvanBliminse: yw
[04:23] <sacarlson> coi: it uses the same tools as fde that is luks
[04:25] <techMiles> hurrah. got it. was an error with something noted in the troubleshooting section of the upgrade page for maverick.
[04:25] <jeyanthan> how to hide the side bar in Unity when it is out of focus?
[04:25] <techMiles> huzzah.
[04:25] <Boatingbum23> Hi, is there a way to sync two ubuntu computers so that they have the same programs and settings and such? essentially have two copies of the same computer?
[04:26] <coraxx> Boatingbum23: several ways ... It depends on what is essential to you ... a good first choice for just regular thing is Ubuntu One ...
[04:26] <OchoZero9> Boatingbum23, i don't know of one of the ways, but it sounds like a too many ways to skin a cat question
[04:27] <Boatingbum23> ubuntu one is just for files such as music or movies isnt it?
[04:27] <coraxx> Boatingbum23: ... is a service from Ubuntu, where you can sync files, contacts, bookmarks etc. with an online service ...and every Ubuntu installed PC you have can be attached to this online account and thereby syncing them, so the are all up-to-date with your info.
[04:27] <OchoZero9> by the way if you decide to use SSD in the future
[04:27] <nit-wit> clone one
[04:28] <OchoZero9> you may not want to clone your OSes daily
[04:28] <BiPolah> Boatingbum23: It automatically syncs files between connected computers and the online storage, you could use it to store and synchronise sets of files that make up programs
[04:28] <Blue1> coraxx: sorta like dropbox then?
[04:28] <BiPolah> OchoZero: Degradation problem? Isn't that mostly solved now?
[04:28] <coraxx> Blue1: yes...actually very much like dropbox ...only free...and more convinient for Ubuntu users :-)
[04:28] <Blue1> coraxx: drop box is free
[04:28] <wyrdsmith> if I may, quick question: which ndiswrapper-utils version should run with maverick? 1.8 or 1.9? using a trendnet pcmcia card
[04:29] <BiPolah> Coraxx, Blue1, Boatingbum23: It's only free up to 2GB. You can bump it up to 20GB storage for around $3-4 I thin
[04:29] <Blue1> BiPolah: yeah 2G is plenty for me
[04:29] <OchoZero9> BiPolah, I don't know if it's solved, and I want to buy an SSD and i'm not concered wth that problem. but when you syncing 20+gb daily then you may need to worry
[04:29] <Boatingbum23> thats what i thought it was, i already have drop box, but i mean such that it would sync my email adresses and rss subscriptions without having to enter them all manually, granted i want it for mor than that but thats a good example
[04:29] <MarkS> Hey anyone here help me with Ubuntu and installing mySQL. intermid skill at it and tried everything I can think?
[04:30] <coraxx> Blue1: is the dropbox storage space free ?
[04:30] <Blue1> coraxx: yes up to 2G
[04:30] <OchoZero9> boatingbum google docs
[04:30] <MarkS> Anyone please if you know enough about MySQL and Ubuntu.. really need to know how to completely remove it
[04:30] <OchoZero9> microsoft skydrive
[04:31] <OchoZero9> everynote
[04:31] <Shouko> `aptitude uninstall [packagename]` MarkS
[04:31] <Boatingbum23> how will google docs help me?
[04:31] <Shouko> i forget the exact package name of mysql though
[04:31] <Blue1> MarkS: what Shouko waid
[04:31] <Blue1> said
[04:31] <Shouko> aptitude is miles better than Synaptic/apt-get at uninstalling
[04:31] <OchoZero9> Boatingbum23, cloud storage
[04:31] <coraxx> Blue1: so the only advanced now is...Ubuntu One is part of ubuntu already ...and the software is based on OpenSource <-- I think is important if you wanna move your storage somewhere else.
[04:32] <MarkS> I will give it ago I have tried purge remove etc etc and all fails :P
[04:32] <brandonjames> okay can someone help me figure out why dvd's wont load, or play in movie player?
[04:32] <coraxx> Blue1: *advantages
[04:32] <MarkS> Ill give it ago and see... :)
[04:32] <Boatingbum23> alright thanks everyone
[04:32] <Blue1> coraxx: dropbox works on windows, mac, and linux, what's left?
[04:32] <Shouko> Blue1, Hurd
[04:33] <Shouko> Just kidding. I think FreeBSD should get a dropbox port though
[04:33] <Shouko> FreeBSD has a lot of users too
[04:33] <coraxx> Blue1: I heard that there is gonna be (if not already) a Windows version of Ubuntu One
[04:33] <g_0_0> brandonjames, have you install ubuntu-restricted-extras?
[04:33] <cntb> !download
[04:33] <Blue1> Shouko: isn't bsd a *nix variant?
[04:33] <brandonjames> not quite sure, how do i
[04:33] <Shouko> Yes but linux programs aren't *inherently* compatible
[04:33] <cntb> !torrents
[04:33] <Blue1> Shouko: we should readlly take this offline, or is pm ok?
[04:34] <Shouko> PM is okay i guess
[04:34] <g_0_0> brandonjames, ctrl alt t  then in the terminal type - sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[04:34] <Shouko> I don't know much else about freebsd though
[04:34] <cntb> is there a torrent for netbook or is it the same as desktop?
[04:35] <Blue1> cntb: the netboox remix (10.10) will install the new unity interface.  not the same as desktop.
[04:37] <eoss> hello, i just mounted a bin file in furius mount and inside there should be videos, but it converted everything to a WMV, whaty am i doing wrong?
[04:37] <JoeMofknDot2> hi I was told toshiba laptops have trouble running ubuntu is that true
[04:37] <cntb> thks Blue1 not sure what is meant by new unity interface
[04:37] <OchoZero9> JoeMofknDot2, that's untrue
[04:37] <Blue1> cntb: let me fine my review brb
[04:38] <g_0_0> eoss a wmv is a video, can you give more info?
[04:38] <cntb> in the meantime torrent downloading netbook  will it work on virtualbox on Macbookpro?
[04:38] <Blue1> cntb: http://pkill-9.com/?p=427
[04:38] <cntb> k Blue1
[04:38] <cntb> 10x Blue1 looking
[04:38] <JoeMofknDot2> ok I'll give it a go then I just wanted to know
[04:38] <nicolaus> can someone teach me how to use telnet please
[04:39] <Blue1> nicolaus: do you have the telent client installed?
[04:39] <nicolaus> yes
[04:39] <Blue1> nicolaus: generally telnet <telnetaddressgoeshere>
[04:39] <OchoZero9> np JoeMofknDot2
[04:40] <sacarlson> nicolaus: leson #1  read man telnet
[04:40] <carrot> hi guys, i'm trying to make a file and it fails on missing gtk/gtk.h --> what is the package for lib gtk dev? I can't seem to find one in apt-cache search
[04:41] <Shouko> carrot, probably something like libgtk-dev
[04:41] <eoss> g_0_0, ok let me test something then
[04:41] <Shouko> do `aptitude search libgtk`
[04:41] <nicolaus> how do i open telnet on linux
[04:41] <nicolaus> where do i find it after its installed
[04:41] <Blue1> nicolaus: which telnet
[04:41] <nicolaus> im not sure
[04:41] <nicolaus> i did
[04:41] <nicolaus> sudo apr-get install telnetd
[04:42] <cntb> Blue1 thank you very much  for that review ! did not have time to investigate and your review is a real timesaver
[04:42] <carrot> Shouko: i'm doing apt-cache search libgtk and i don't see anything, do not have aptitude but i doubt that would make a difference?
[04:42] <eoss> g_0_0, ok now its telling me this: The requested plugins are:
[04:42] <eoss> video/x-asf-unknown decoder
[04:42] <g_0_0> nicolaus, you installed a telnet server ? did you want a client?
[04:42] <Shouko> Hm
[04:42] <Blue1> cntb: i didn't care for it, but if you like the ipad thing, it woujld be great I guess.
[04:42] <brandonjames> i just installed ubuntu restricted extras and tried playing a dvd in movie player but got an error that says "could not read from resource"? help?
[04:42] <g_0_0> eoss,  have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras  ?
[04:42] <nicolaus> im not sure if i install the server or the client
[04:43] <eoss> g_0_0, i doubt i have
[04:43] <nicolaus> i installed something tho
[04:43] <Shouko> carrot, `apt-cache search libgtk | grep "\-dev"` have you tried something like that
[04:43] <g_0_0> eoss, in terminal type - sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[04:43] <sacarlson> nicolaus: well maybe we should go back to why do you need telnet?   we now normaly use ssh to remote into systems now for more security
[04:43] <cntb> IMHO ubuntu guys have practical decisions and that one keeps a small netbook performing and more fool proof . evidently not for people like you that know well and need freedom blue1
[04:44] <nicolaus> yes thats what i want it for
[04:44] <g_0_0> brandonjames, have you tried another movie player, vlc for example
[04:44] <carrot> Shouko: i really do not see anything remotely like libgtk-dev except for libgtk2.0-dev (i am on xubuntu but that shouldn't change anything)?
[04:44] <nicolaus> to help protect my home network
[04:44] <brandonjames> hold on
[04:44] <Blue1> cntb: my netbook works great with the desktop edition.
[04:44] <Shouko> libgtk2.0-dev is what you want
[04:45] <carrot> Shouko: my make still fails, however
[04:45] <Shouko> what are you building
[04:45] <carrot> it says: gui.c:21: fatal error: gtk/gtk.h: No such file or directory
[04:45] <g_0_0> nicolaus, use ssh
[04:45] <carrot> i'm building some random source code i found for a race for the galaxy clone (board game)
[04:45] <cntb> I am more than sure . because you wont do stupid things that other will do and cause the netbook to get stuck

[04:46] <sacarlson> nicolaus: opening a telnet server is the oposite of adding security to your system.  it transmits passwords in plain text
[04:46] <Shouko> nicolaus, Secure SHell. you use it to run terminal commands remotely
[04:46] <nicolaus> ok
[04:46] <g_0_0> eoss,  have you got it working?
[04:46] <cntb> that would be all . last saying is that ipad behavior is a time saver for simple tasks and simple users
[04:47] <nicolaus> i was thinking of using telnet to remotely connect to computers on MY HOME NETWORK just to see whats going on on each computer
[04:47] <carrot> Shouko: i am compiling this: http://keldon.net/rftg/
[04:47] <g_0_0> nicolaus, telnet bad idea, use ssh

[04:47] <eoss> g_0_0,  The requested plugins are:
[04:47] <eoss> video/x-asf-unknown decoder
[04:48] <nicolaus> how i uninstall telnet
[04:48] <sacarlson> nicolaus: I use ssh for that and even bring up vnc with ssh to turn on cams that I can view or start sound recorders or skype to hear what's happening
[04:48] <nicolaus> oh dam can u teach me plz
[04:49] <OchoZero9> nicolaus, easy there

[04:50] <bgilb> anyone ever dealt with youtube videos lagging and stuttering?
[04:50] <carrot> Shouko: i solved my own problem with make clean;./configure;make
[04:50] <carrot> Shouko: i needed to ./configure again
[04:50] <Shouko> nice
[04:50] <OchoZero9> google
[04:50] <OchoZero9> ssh tutorials
[04:50] <nicolaus> k
[04:51] <OchoZero9> also open ssh
[04:51] <OchoZero9> openssh*
[04:51] <bgilb> anyone have any ideas what i can try after i've exhausted all of google's suggestions?
[04:53] <g_0_0> eoss, see this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[04:54] <Boatingbum23> eoss try adding the medibunut repository and getting those packages.
[04:54] <Boatingbum23> http://medibuntu.org/index.php
[04:54] <eoss> ok i will try
[04:54] <bgilb> is there a channel for ubuntu related performance problems?
[04:56] <brandonjames> g_0_0: doesn't work in vlc either
[04:57] <_skpl> oi
[04:57] <_skpl> whatup?
[04:57] <gaelfx> bgilb: are you using the adobe flash plugin?
[04:58] <bgilb> yessir
[04:58] <sacarlson> bgilb: normaly for me that's my ISP or the server that it uses at the end point not providing the needed bandwidth.  try increase the buffer size in the flash player
[04:58] <bgilb> version 10.0
[04:58] <gaelfx> what he said
[04:58] <bgilb> i've also noticed i've had performance problems with firefox when the page has lots of things it starts lagging when scrolling
[04:58] <gaelfx> bgilb: you know the current version is 10.2 I believe
[04:59] <gaelfx> bgilb: how much physical ram do you have?
[04:59] <bgilb> my system specs : phenom x4 2.3, 2gb ram, nvidia GTX 260
[04:59] <eoss> Boatingbum23, the 2nd command on the first link u gave me does not work, it returns this E: Unable to locate package apport-hooks-medibunt
[04:59] <gaelfx> bgilb: is only ff open, or do you have other things running as well?
[04:59] <bgilb> and i have the proprietary nvidia drivers installed; the ones ubuntu offers
[05:00] <eoss> Boatingbum23, then i did sudo apt-get upgrade and got this: E: Unable to locate package apport-hooks-medibuntsudo
[05:00] <eoss> E: Unable to locate package apt-get
[05:00] <eoss> E: Unable to locate package upgrade
[05:00] <eoss> well thats wrong
[05:00] <gaelfx> bgilb: next time it happens, open up system monitor and check the resources tab, it might give you an idea of why your system seems to be slow, you can also check processes tab to figure out who's eating up resources
[05:01] <gaelfx> eoss: sudo apt-get upgrade?
[05:01] <eoss> how do i download whats in the newly added repos gaelfx
[05:01] <gaelfx> eoss: it sounds like you entered sudo apt-get apt-get upgrade
[05:01] <eoss> i did it was wrong
[05:02] <gaelfx> eoss sudo apt-get update, then sudo apt-get upgrade
[05:02] <eoss> k
[05:02] <gaelfx> eoss: wait, do you only want to download them and not install them?
[05:02] <bgilb> sorry my internet bleeped
[05:02] <bgilb> i have 2gb of physical ram
[05:02] <eoss> no i wanted to install em, why else would i download em
[05:03] <bgilb> ram usage sits around 500mb usually
[05:03] <gaelfx> eoss: lol, right, right, then do what I said
[05:03] <Boatingbum23> i think eoss that the first command does everything, the second command just adds it to the sotware center, do sudo apt-get update and then try your video again
[05:03] <bgilb> woops sorry it is flash 10.2
[05:03] <gaelfx> Boatingbum23: no, update only checks which packages are available
[05:04] <gaelfx> Boatingbum23: upgrade will then install them
[05:04] <Boatingbum23> whats the difference between update and upgrade?
[05:04] <Boatingbum23> gotcha
[05:04] <eoss> Boatingbum23, yep i did all of it and still same old error video/x-asf-unknown decoder
[05:04] <Boatingbum23> hmm.
[05:04] <eoss> how about a good old fashioned reboot?
[05:04] <Boatingbum23> couldnt hurt
[05:04] <gaelfx> eoss: what is it you're trying to do?
[05:04] <eoss> play wmv files
[05:04] <gaelfx> er, trying to fix
[05:04] <gaelfx> eoss: using which program?
[05:05] <eoss> mplayer
[05:05] <eoss> also it not working in vlc either
[05:05] <Boatingbum23> that should be under restricted extras as stated before but i had the same problem, installed the medibuntu packages and was fine
[05:05] <gaelfx> eoss: did you try installing vlc? although, I'll tell you now, if they are protected, then it's a no go
[05:05] <eoss> yes i have vlc it threw an error which claimed was unfixable
[05:06] <gaelfx> eoss: then my guess is that there is either something wrong with the wmv or it's protected
[05:06] <eoss> cant be, i had windows 7 and they played fine
[05:06] <gaelfx> eoss: have you tried downloading a different wmv to play it?
[05:06] <eoss> the audio of the files are coming out fine
[05:06] <eoss> it wont play the vid
[05:07] <eoss> i didnt try different wmv player
[05:08] <gaelfx> just quickie google wmv and download the first thing that looks reasonably safe
[05:09] <eoss> this is the vlc error No suitable decoder module:
[05:09] <eoss> VLC does not support the audio or video format "MSS2". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.
[05:10] <gaelfx> hang on, I'm testing it on my machine
[05:10] <Diamondcite> eoss: Consider installing mplayer and the win32codecs
[05:10] <eoss> i have mplayer, its giving me an error also
[05:10] <gaelfx> Diamondcite: he's got mplayer already
[05:10] <Diamondcite> How about the win32codec pack from the site?
[05:11] <eoss> i just downloaded codec i dont know they were the win32 ones
[05:11] <sacarlson> eoss: ya if all fails win32codecs http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-mplayer-and-multimedia-codecs-libdvdcss2w32codecsw64codecs-in-ubuntu-10-10-maverick-meerkat.html
[05:11] <abhilashm86> which is best software to record desktop in ubuntu, i tried recordmydesktop, but there is lot of flickr after recordiing and encoding.
[05:11] <eoss> i just did the mediabuntu codecs already =/
[05:11] <ylmfos> ?
[05:12] <abhilashm86> i want to record my desktop in hd quality, no flickering should be there:)
[05:12] <Diamondcite> eoss: This is different. Please read that page.
[05:12] <sacarlson> abhilashm86: I think you might want to turn compiz off when you record
[05:12] <gaelfx> eoss: try this wmv, plays fine on my computer: http://gallery.mobile9.com/f/612126/
[05:13] <Diamondcite> eoss: Err my mistake?
[05:13] <abhilashm86> sacarlson: No even when browser or window change, flickr happens
[05:13] <eoss> also i have amd64
[05:13] <gaelfx> eoss: me too
[05:13] <mailinator> hello everyone
[05:14] <mailinator> help
[05:14] <mailinator> ?
[05:14] <eoss> what is that video some trojan?
[05:14] <satya> hello
[05:14] <abhilashm86> sacarlson: which software do you use.
[05:14] <satya> i configured ldap and samba for user authentication. what are the steps to be taken to link up windows 7 machine to acces the ldap server
[05:14] <gaelfx> eoss: MSSec didn't throw anything from it, so it should be fine
[05:14] <sacarlson> abhilashm86: I use the same as you
[05:14] <satya> i mean user authentication from ldap server in windows 7
[05:15] <sacarlson> abhilashm86: but maybe with the added gui interface
[05:15] <Diamondcite> eoss: If you have amd64.. did you install w64codecs?
[05:15] <eoss> yes i think i just did
[05:15] <eoss> sudo apt-get install w64codecs libdvdcss2
[05:15] <abhilashm86> sacarlson: don't you get flickering? can you tell frame rate you use....
[05:15] <sacarlson> abhilashm86: it could be a video driver thing,  I have the propriatary nvidia drivers running
[05:16] <g_0_0> eoss have you tried renaming the file with an asf extension instead of wmv ?
[05:16] <bgilb> would switching to 64bit ubuntu help with performance at all?
[05:16] <eoss> no i have not
[05:16] <g_0_0> eoss, might be worth a go just to see
[05:16] <sacarlson> abhilashm86: I think I slowed it to like 15 frames/sec to save mem and disk space and sure I guess there would be some flicker but good enuf
[05:16] <Diamondcite> g_0_0: Mplayer the command line version shouldn't care about extension.
[05:16] <gaelfx> eoss: that wmv I downloaded played in every media player I have
[05:17] <abhilashm86> sacarlson: Even i have video nvidia drivers enabled in Additional drivers in system->admin..
[05:17] <eoss> Sorry, could not rename "ccent01.wmv" to "ccent01.asf": Error renaming file: Function not implemented
[05:17] <gaelfx> eoss: did you check the permissions on the file?
[05:18] <g_0_0> eoss, ???? how did you try and rename it?
[05:18] <eoss> i did it from the GUI i clicked rename
[05:18] <sacarlson> abhilashm86: bigest problem I have is the sound get's out of sync with the video, but i live with it
[05:19] <amh345> i've tried a million and one things. but i still can't get my wireless to functioning right.  i can  connect to the network. i see my machine on the router and i can see other machines from ubuntu in networking... but everything is sporatic.
[05:19] <IsmAvatar> What does it mean when a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10 tends to freeze after about 30 seconds of operation?
[05:19] <g_0_0> eoss, close the file if it's already open, then in terminal type - sudo mv ccent01.wmv ccent01.asf
[05:19] <sacarlson> abhilashm86: my work around for that was make many short training video instead of long ones
[05:19] <g_0_0> eoss, then try again, what player are you using ?
[05:19] <eoss> can i do that if its inside an ISO
[05:20] <eoss> im testing on mplayer and vlc
[05:20] <Madpilot> IsmAvatar, I'd tend to suspect hardware issues. Or try a reinstall and see.
[05:20] <kshama> can any one tell me about cross compilation of arm
[05:20] <abhilashm86> sacarlson: ok fine, i found a software recordit, i'll try else compromise with it, thanks mate!!
[05:20] <gaelfx> eoss: if it's in an iso, you can't change it, copy it to your hard drive
[05:21] <IsmAvatar> Madpilot: I was thinking reinstall as well. It has been working for about a year before my hard drive took a dump. Also, it's dual boot WinXP, and WinXP works fine.
[05:21] <eoss> renamed. still nothing
[05:21] <sacarlson> abhilashm86: I used gtk-recordmydesktop
[05:21] <gaelfx> eoss: right click and select properties, then go to the audio/video tab
[05:22] <eoss> k
[05:22] <gaelfx> eoss: and tell us what codec it says
[05:22] <eoss> ASF video (video/x-ms-asf)
[05:22] <Madpilot> IsmAvatar, try the reinstall, esp. if it's not happening while running XP.
[05:22] <djindy> is there a way to do a complete (or mostly complete) reinstall of ubuntu from the terminal?
[05:22] <IsmAvatar> Madpilot: thanks
[05:22] <Madpilot> IsmAvatar, try the livecd as well, see if it happens there.
[05:22] <eoss> there isnt a video tab
[05:22] <eoss> only an audio tab
[05:22] <eoss> and again heres the error i get in mplayer
[05:22] <eoss> video/x-asf-unknown decoder
[05:22] <amh345> nuthin, eh?
[05:22] <IsmAvatar> Madpilot: been having problems with the CD drive, so I've been doing it from USB.
[05:23] <sacarlson> djindy: the alternate cd install uses no gui is that what you want?
[05:23] <IsmAvatar> course, might just be some bad Cds
[05:23] <Madpilot> IsmAvatar, liveUSB/liveCD, whatever works. I never have a usb key empty to go that route. :)
[05:23] <gaelfx> eoss: the audio and video tab should be the same tab, so that's kinda weird. do you know how the wmv was made?
[05:23] <eoss> it was originally a bin and a cue file
[05:24] <eoss> i iso'd the bin
[05:24] <djindy> sacarison: what I mean is, rather than having to boot to a cd or usb, can I reinstall ubuntu from within a current ubuntu install?
[05:24] <gaelfx> eoss: did you try opening the iso with vlc?
[05:24] <eoss> yes, MSS2 error
[05:24] <eoss> errr not the iso itself
[05:24] <IsmAvatar> Madpilot: me neither, but ever since I discovered that you can add files on after creating the image...
[05:24] <gaelfx> eoss: give that a go then
[05:25] <eoss> VLC does not support the audio or video format "undf".
[05:25] <eoss> theres more than just video and audio in the iso
[05:25] <eoss> bunch of stuff
[05:25] <eoss> i miss windows 7 =[
[05:26] <gaelfx> eoss: well, I'm stumped. did you try #vlc or #mplayer for help?
[05:26] <eoss> no i didnt
[05:26] <g_0_0> eoss, have you already played this particular file in windows 7?
[05:26] <gaelfx> it's probably worth a shot, though I know those places are sometimes cricketheaven
[05:26] <sacarlson> djindy: yes you can install from hard disk by adding a grub2 entry and point to an iso file to install
[05:26] <eoss> yep g_0_0
[05:27] <g_0_0> eoss, DRM ??
[05:27] <djindy> sacarison: I see, thank you.
[05:28] <gaelfx> sacarlson: that sounds fun :D
[05:28] <eoss> g_0_0, it worked fine in win7 wpuld DRM just affect linux?
[05:29] <bgilb> uhg there are no solutions anywhere on google
[05:29] <ylmfos> 晕，都是英文。。
[05:29] <gaelfx> eoss: anything without official microsoft software is affected by microsoft drm
[05:29] <sacarlson> djindy: example add an entry in grub2 40custom file with the ubuntu seen in this link and put the iso file in the correct location http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1288604
[05:29] <gaelfx> !zh | ylmfos
[05:30] <gaelfx> ylmfos: 如果你单，请你去 #ubuntu-cn
[05:30] <sacarlson> djindy: it installs 10 times faster from hard disk also
[05:30] <djindy> sacarison: ah, that would be nice.
[05:31] <gaelfx> *如果你打中文
[05:32] <eoss> gaelfx, its not microsoft file
[05:32] <bgilb> is there some kind of ubuntu performance tester i could run?
[05:32] <joeoshawa> when i play a movie subtitles are automatically on is there a way to set it so when i start a movie they are off
[05:33] <sacarlson> djindy: just add the entry in /etc/grub.d/40_custom
[05:33] <gaelfx> eoss: how do you figure that?
[05:34] <bgilb> :(
[05:34] <sacarlson> djindy: and after modified 40_custom  file: sudo update-grub   and reboot hold shift select your 40_custom boot and start the install
[05:36] <g_0_0> eoss, have you tried playing this file with mplayer from the terminal?
[05:36] <eoss> g_0_0, no
[05:37] <eoss> playing just the audio
[05:37] <eoss> says Video: no video
[05:37] <eoss> bunch of errors
[05:38] <g_0_0> eoss can you pastebin the errors
[05:38] <jaysern> i tried updating java-6-sun and it's stuck, and I can't control-C out of it: Installing new version of config file /etc/java-6-sun/security/java.policy ...
