[05:21] <sacarlson> Threaten: you can change to another mirror site
[05:22] <sacarlson> Threaten: how is the browser working?
[05:22] <Threaten> sacarlson okay. Thank you. How do I do that?
[05:22] <Threaten> and the browser is not working.
[05:22] <Threaten> I am still disconnecting. This same NIC doesn't disconnect like this in Windows though.
[05:22] <sacarlson> Threaten: then try ping google.com again  also what site is not working did you try other sites in firefox?
[05:22] <Threaten> well i tried google...
[05:23] <sacarlson> Threaten: so network is down now?  ping yahoo.com?
[05:23] <shawnboy> Lucid locks up  at logo before X login. Any ideas for diagnozsing and fixing this?
[05:23] <Threaten> i am still trying to reconnect to my network.
[05:24] <pbarros> zus:  not sure there since I don't use Kubuntu.  I can't see it being to much of a problem though.  But just remember that firefox always generates a different name for the profile folder
[05:24] <Blue1> !autofs
[05:24] <Threaten> This laptop im using to talk to you is on the same network, and hasnt lost connection yet.
[05:24] <Kaepora> Hi, is anyone here a CISSP by any chance?
[05:24] <cschneid> I'm using apt-get in a script with no terminal attached, and it spews debug info about not being able to use frontends (dialog, then readline, then finally decides to go with teletype).  How can I give it a default frontend to avoid all that
[05:25] <pbarros> You'll need to paste the contents of the backed'up profile folder into the new one that firefox creates.  Or use the backup/import feature built into firefox
[05:25] <Threaten> sacarlson, I can ping yahoo.
[05:25] <Threaten> Now that I reconnected
[05:25] <sacarlson> Threaten: well your most likly suspect is the realtek wifi device they have a history.  so I would try wired to verify that is the case.  if wire works then I would look at posibly install of anther wifi driver or try another kernel.
[05:25] <maitrey>  Hi, I've tried it yesterday, but got no answer. So I'll try my luck once more. I've recently formatted ext. hdd seagate and I'm not able to set the permissions for more users (in whatever format -ext3,4,ntfs) - nothing works. Google is also somehow not useful. Please..
[05:25] <ken> oh
[05:25] <zus> pbarros,  i did not know that. i know readi it later keeps my bookmarks on web. neat little addon i cant use  FF without it. have it for chrome as well but i dont like chromes lookf and feel for it, i dont trsut it.
[05:25] <Threaten> another wifi driver?
[05:26] <sacarlson> Threaten: is ping slow?  if slow what is slow the look up of the name to number (called DNS)?
[05:26] <maco> !indonesia | Arulida
[05:26] <i2c> my laptop has 0% battery left right now
[05:26] <i2c> why is it still on?
[05:26] <i2c> ubuntu's battery detection is kinda wack on this laptop
[05:27] <Threaten> Well pinging yahoo.com takes 76ms
[05:27] <aniza_gokil> ai
[05:27] <sacarlson> Threaten: well first you need to verify that wifi is the fault and yes if so upgrade the wifi driver note sometimes older drivers are better than new ones also
[05:27] <FlintWestWood> hello
[05:27] <Threaten> sacarlson, it also varies, it went down to 36ms, then up to 136ms
[05:27] <Threaten> So i could find an updated driver and install that?
[05:28] <sacarlson> Threaten: those numbers are good
[05:28] <sacarlson> Threaten: maybe try wget some file and verify the problem is not in the browser?
[05:28] <Threaten> and its still ok that I can't browse? im connected and pinging yahoo but I cant get to google.com
[05:28] <Threaten> How do I verify that?
[05:29] <fotoflo> hi all, i have a ubuntu server question: is this the place to ask it?  I have a mediawiki server running on my server and i want to provide SFTP access to a directory with authentication based on the mediawiki username and password - is there a way to do this? how do i do it
[05:29] <Threaten> well i can connect with google chrome
[05:29] <sacarlson> Threaten: well first you need to find a file online that you want the wget http://thesite.com/thefile.something
[05:30] <sacarlson> Threaten: oh so chrome is working?
[05:30] <i2c> my laptop has 0% battery life right now, how can I recalibrate the ubuntu battery system?
[05:31] <Threaten> yes chrome will load pages
[05:31] <sacarlson> Threaten: ok so firefox is broken not your network
[05:31] <Soma_Cruz> I installed ubuntu on a separate partition on my harddrive..but I don't want it anymore how do I uninstall it?
[05:31] <Threaten> okay. so if i re installed firefox, it would work?
[05:32] <sacarlson> Threaten: I'm not sure what's wrong with your firefox.  but you could give that a try.   oh maybe start a new account and login to it and run firefox in it.  it could be you changed some config in firefox that broke it.
[05:33] <Threaten> okay. will i be able to restore things using the install disk as well?
[05:33] <sacarlson> Threaten: I don't know.  I always have connection when I install
[05:34] <Threaten> okay. thank you for your patience, but I have to go now.
[05:34] <Threaten> thanks for helping
[05:34] <sacarlson> TheAnswer: no problem at least you part way there
[05:35] <jellow> i left fdisk reformating an sd card it has been going for 2 hours straight i think somthing is wrong
[05:35] <coz_> jellow,  how big is the the card?
[05:35] <jellow> coz_: 8 gb
[05:35] <coz_> mmm
[05:35] <Soma_Cruz> um so is it possible to uninstall ubuntu from my harddrive?
[05:36] <coz_> Soma_Cruz,  sure it is
[05:36] <nimbiotics> I can see a flash of an error message on boot, just before GUI shows up. How can I see this error message?
[05:36] <ELREY> question is.. why would you want to uninstall ubuntu?
[05:36] <coz_> jellow,   this one i am not sure of  you may want to go to the ##linux channel and check there
[05:36] <pbarros> Soma_Cruz:  yes it is.  do you also have another partition with windows on it?
[05:36] <Soma_Cruz> Yes I do pbarros
[05:36] <nimbiotics> I can see a flash of an error message on boot, just before GUI shows up. How can I see this error message?
[05:36] <Soma_Cruz> and I'm giving my laptop to my father and he's more of windows perons
[05:37] <coz_> Soma_Cruz, try foing into windows and format the linux paritions  or delete it
[05:37] <nimbiotics> sorry, didnt mean to duplicate message
[05:37] <coz_> nimbiotics,   andything smb2
[05:38] <coz_> nimbiotics,  did you see any part of the error message
[05:38] <N4ck0> hi all
[05:38] <Soma_Cruz> just curious though..wouldn't that mess up the grub loader?
[05:38] <pbarros> coz:  he may still have problems with the grub loader though
[05:39] <nimbiotics> coz_: only the word error
[05:39] <_pg__> I dont have a cursor anymore! even after I blasted it my install and now from a live cd i still dont have a cursor! Ive tried 4 mice! what can i DO?
[05:39] <coz_> nimbiotics,   "error probing  smb2" maybe?
[05:39] <nimbiotics> coz_: the issue with samba you mean? getting more complicated by the minute
[05:39] <mkanat> Wow, Ubuntu starts up quickly.
[05:39] <mkanat> I like the coloring of the grep output, too.
[05:40] <Soma_Cruz> ok I'll delete the partitions..
[05:40] <nimbiotics> coz_: i cant remember the word i saw, but it sound more like an issue with a drive
[05:40] <coz_> nimbiotics,  oh ok  ah   not sure you could try   pause break to see if it sticks that screen
[05:40] <keith> Yeah my ubuntu loads in about 7 seconds
[05:40] <pbarros> nimbiotics:  have you tried "ctrl-alt-f1"  while it's booting?
[05:40] <pbarros> also check dmesg
[05:40] <keith> Windows 7, about 20 seconds
[05:41] <coz_> _pg_,  whoa   that is not good
[05:41] <pmarch> hi guys, could someone tell me which software I could download to record audio on my pc?
[05:41] <coz_> _pg_,  is it a usb mouse?
[05:41] <coz_> pmarch,   like  real recording     maybe ardour
[05:41] <coz_> pmarch,  or do you mean from a mic?
[05:41] <pmarch> ok coz
[05:41] <pmarch> I'm new here on linx
[05:41] <keith> pmarch the software center usually has something good
[05:42] <abhijit> !manual | pmarch
[05:42] <coz_> pmarch,  ok   do you want to record from an instrument   or a microphone?
[05:42] <pmarch> no from whatever is playing on my system in audio... website sounds
[05:42] <coz_> pmarch,  ah ,,,,,mmmm
[05:42] <pmarch> Ok thanks a lot
[05:42] <nimbiotics_> pbarros: its not while booting but after grub
[05:42] <coz_> pmarch,  hold on
[05:42] <pmarch> k
[05:43] <coz_> pmarch,   look for  sound recorder under sound and video
[05:43] <coz_> pmarch,  I believe that can capture suond on the system
[05:43] <Deanes> Hi guys, just wondering if anyone has used the maverick kernel backports with lucid?
[05:44] <pmarch> This kubuntu for netbook is very different than what I used to see in ubuntu previous versions
[05:44] <coz_> pmarch,    Applications/  Sound and video/  sound recorder
[05:44] <coz_> pmarch,  oh you are on kde
[05:44] <pmarch> yep
[05:44] <Sevith> Stupid question but which file and where do i edit to change my shell to only show the directory i am in and not the entire path
[05:44] <coz_> pmarch,  hold on
[05:44] <maco> pmarch: hi i use kubuntu netbook
[05:44] <pmarch> Next time I will download ubuntu
[05:44] <pmarch> it's more user friendly
[05:44] <pbarros> nimbiotics:  but after grub should be during the boot process
[05:44] <maco> pmarch: what are you trying to find?
[05:45] <pmarch> oh something so I could record audio from the web
[05:45] <pmarch> streaming audio
[05:45] <Sevith> Stupid question but which file and where do i edit to change my shell to only show the directory i am in and not the entire path
[05:45] <keith> Had a storm here knocked out my modem for a bit, along with my computer..tried to call home but wife doesn't know where to find the power button. Anyway spent almost two hours in Windows 7 reconfiguring my modem..Ubuntu never even missed a beat, booted correctly first time.
[05:45] <maco> pmarch: hmm...is that something mplayer can do?
[05:45] <pmarch> don't know at all
[05:46] <pmarch> sorry I'm new to linux
[05:46] <pmarch> getting old I guess
[05:46] <pmarch> lol
[05:46] <maco> pmarch: http://fosswire.com/post/2008/03/save-streaming-audio-and-video-as-a-file-with-mplayer/
[05:46] <jimlovell777> Someone gave me an HP touchsmart PC and I'm having trouble getting the display to work. It's a touchscreen (which does work) but the computer always boots into low graphics mode or not at all. I've tried the restricted nVidia drivers to no avail. Any suggestions? Google and the troubleshooting docs have thus far been unhelpful.
[05:46] <Sevith> Which file and where do i edit to change my shell to only show the directory i am in and not the entire path
[05:46] <mkquist> pmarch: a radio stream?
[05:46] <pmarch> mmm
[05:46] <nimbiotics> pbarros: guess u r rite, in just too tired of fighting with samba. will boot again and see what happens
[05:46] <maco> Sevith: your ~/.bashrc i think
[05:46] <shawnboy> I'm reaching out for a life-line. Lucid stopped booting. Freezes before login screen.
[05:47] <pmarch> The thing is in flash
[05:47] <pmarch> so all I can do really is to record the audio that plays on the computer
[05:47] <mkquist> pmarch: might wanna check for a flash-got plugin for your browser
[05:47] <pmarch> In pc world, it would be coming out from 'what you hear'
[05:47] <keith> HP has some specific drivers for their touch screen. is the device manager showing the driver?
[05:47] <abhijit> bye
[05:47] <pmarch> yep, that was my second question
[05:47] <pmarch> :(
[05:47] <maco> Sevith: see the PROMPT_COMMAND definition in there?
[05:48] <Sevith> maco,  ok
[05:48] <pmarch> sudo apt-get install flash?
[05:48] <Sevith> maco, im looking right now
[05:48] <pbarros> Sevith:  I think that is in your .bashrc file
[05:48] <pmarch> let me check for flash-got
[05:48] <pmarch> brb
[05:48] <pmarch> thanks a lot gys
[05:48] <pmarch> guys
[05:48] <coz_> pmarch,  well  sudo apt-get install  kubuntu-restricted-extras  if you want flash
[05:48] <jimlovell777> I get the errors, "configuration found but no screens present", "You have an unusual laptop display, please report it", kernel panic --not syncing, attempted to kill init", "You don't appear to be using the nVidia xserver, as root type nvidia-xconfig" I can't figure this out and why is it always something different?
[05:48] <coz_> pmarch,  but that will also pull icedtea   and I am not sure you want that
[05:49] <Sevith> maco,  Negative not in the bashrc
[05:49] <Soma_Cruz> hey coz I removed the partitions like you said
[05:49] <Sevith> pbarros, Negative not in bashrc
[05:49] <pmarch> ok coz
[05:49] <pmarch> for flash?
[05:49] <coz_> Soma_Cruz,  ok and were you able to boot into window also
[05:49] <Soma_Cruz> ah no..
[05:49] <SealedWithAKiss> Why can't I enable advanced desktop effect in Ubuntu 10.04 when I have a decent graphics card?
[05:49] <Soma_Cruz> it won't boot anymore lol
[05:49] <coz_> pmarch,  yeah that will bring down  adobe flash
[05:49] <coz_> Soma_Cruz,  oh
[05:49] <pmarch> what's wrong with icedtea?
[05:50] <keith> I've worked on them with Windows 7 but not in Linux..have you checked the HP website to see if they have any support for Linux?
[05:50] <coz_> Soma_Cruz,  xp  vist  or windows 7?
[05:50] <ThomasB2k> SealedWithAKiss, do you have the proprietary drivers for your graphics card installed?
[05:50] <coz_> vista
[05:50] <Soma_Cruz> I have xp
[05:50] <N4ck0> SealedWithAKiss: what your graphic card
[05:50] <pmarch> Ok let me download the restricted-extras first
[05:50] <pmarch> brb
[05:50] <SealedWithAKiss> ThomasB2k, I am using drivers that I obtained from the AMD website.
[05:50] <coz_> Soma_Cruz,  do you stll have the xp installation disk?
[05:50] <SealedWithAKiss> N4ck0, ATI Radeon HD 4670.
[05:51] <Soma_Cruz> Yes I do...I gotta reinstall I'm guessing?
[05:51] <coz_> Soma_Cruz,   if you still have the installation  disk then look here to recover the bool lader for xp   http://www.ehow.com/how_4891476_reinstall-xp-bootloader.html
[05:51] <pbarros> Sevith:  hmm...   you are talking about your shell in terminal right?  let me look at mine
[05:51] <SealedWithAKiss> ThomasB2k, the basic drivers that Ubuntu installs were not allowing me to enable to advanced effects, that's why I decided to download and install the ones from AMD.
[05:51] <Sevith> pbarros, Yes
[05:52] <ThomasB2k> SealedWithAKiss, what about the ones in System > Administration > Hardware Drivers
[05:52] <Sevith> pbarros, I seen the PS1 Var right at the begging but it wont let me edit the var...where does it store PS1?
[05:52] <Soma_Cruz> ok I'll give that a shot
[05:52] <coz_> Soma_Cruz,  that should work  well.... I would just write everything down there so you have it on hand
[05:52] <pmarch> ok
[05:53] <SealedWithAKiss> ThomasB2k, is displays the FGLRX driver which is currently disabled.
[05:53] <coz_> pmarch,  did you find something?
[05:53] <ThomasB2k> hmm
[05:53] <pmarch> coz, I had to install my kubuntu here from windoze and I noticed that it didn't create me a ext 3 or ext 4 file system
[05:53] <ThomasB2k> I don't know, sorry :/
[05:53] <abhinav_singh> which is most popular email service ...yahoo,gmail,aol or hotmail?
[05:53] <pmarch> coz it's downloading the extras
[05:53] <pmarch> right now
[05:53] <ThomasB2k> gmail, abhinav
[05:54] <coz_> pmarch,    ok   is this a wubi install ?
[05:54] <songer> hhelo how you doing?
[05:54] <coz_> pmarch,   is this a laptop or desktop?
[05:54] <pmarch> it's a netbook .. small laptop
[05:54] <coz_> pmarch,  ok that makes sense :)
[05:55] <mneptok> pmarch: you used Wubi?
[05:55] <pmarch> what is wubi?
[05:55] <ThomasB2k> wubi is the "windows program style" ubuntu
[05:55] <coz_> pmarch,  a way to install ubuntu onto a windows disk instead of its own partition essentially
[05:55] <songer> i have a question, if i install maverick alpha-3 when comes out the final vercion of ubuntu do i will to install ubuntu again?
[05:55] <ThomasB2k> Ubuntu will actually install itself as a Windows program
[05:56] <pmarch> exactly
[05:56] <xangua> songer: yes
[05:56] <ThomasB2k> No songer
[05:56] <ThomasB2k> hmm?
[05:56] <coz_> songer,  if you are wise  yes...you want to download the actual release version
[05:56] <xangua> sorry, no songer
[05:56] <pmarch> I guess ubuntu would run faster if installed in its own native file system, right?\
[05:56] <pmarch> because this isn't very fast...
[05:56] <coz_> pmarch,  most likely and you would probably be much happier with it :)
[05:56] <ThomasB2k> Songer, it'd be better if you did install Ubuntu again. Apt upgrades don't always work too well.
[05:56] <pmarch> I have 2 GB
[05:56] <mneptok> coz_: there will be no difference between installing from -final media and updating an alpha
[05:57] <pmarch> Unfortunately, I get errors when I do install it the normal way
[05:57] <coz_> mnemon,  my experience since day one  counters that but ok
[05:57] <keith> jimlovell777 I was able to look this link up about the touchsmart..maybe it'll help with your issue  http://www.touchsmartdevzone.com/article/1940/How-To-Install-Linux-on-HP-TouchSmart-tx2-1250/
[05:57] <coz_> pmarch,  ah ok
[05:57] <pmarch> I'll try to download the ubuntu version for netbook
[05:57] <coz_> pmarch,  do you remember any of the errors?
[05:57] <ThomasB2k> *Apt upgrades don't always work well if you're doing a dist upgrade, or even upgrading a lot of software.
[05:57] <pmarch> maybe there's just bugs in kubuntu
[05:57] <ThomasB2k> Of course there's bugs in Kubuntu
[05:57] <pmarch> mmm well, there were two
[05:57] <ThomasB2k> There's bugs in all Linux
[05:58] <flowbee___a> i cant hear audio out of my rear two speakers.  i have a sound blaster live card with 4.1 output
[05:58] <coz_> pmarch,   if you download the cd  make sure you check the disk for erros and also burn it at the slowest speed preferably 1x if possible
[05:58] <pmarch> the first one was that I had to remove my pendrive out before going to the next step
[05:58] <pmarch> otherwise the installation would hang at 47%
[05:58] <pbarros> Sevith:  look for a line in .bashrc that has this    "PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$ "
[05:58] <maco> Sevith: ah its the PS1 variable
[05:58] <pmarch> I don't even have a CD rom here
[05:58] <coz_> flowbee,   open a terminal....    alsmixer      make sure non sliders are off or muted   if muted hit the keyboard lower case "m"  to unmute
[05:58] <songer> ok ask because i', going to install ubuntu or xubuntu to my friend but almost the final maverick is coming out so
[05:59] <Xearo> Would this be the right place to ask advice about how to get the xvid codec to run in chrome for Linux?
[05:59] <pmarch> I have to install from pendrive
[05:59] <Sevith> pbarros, Yeah I found it but  mine is a bit different I just commented out a few things and am messing with it now :) Thx
[05:59] <maco> Sevith: oh you found that out already
[05:59] <pbarros> change the lower case "w" to an uppercase W
[05:59] <pmarch> Ok but it could be a good lead. Thanks
[05:59] <maco> pbarros: too slow?
[05:59] <coz_> pmarch,  ah ok sorry
[05:59] <pmarch> And finally the other error was very extensive
[05:59] <pbarros> yep :D
[05:59] <maco> oh well id been wondering this a while too
[05:59] <pmarch> it told me sorry but the install crashed essentially
[06:00] <coz_> mm
[06:00] <robertwall> songer: Maverick is not stable at all right now. It's probably not a good idea to give it to your friend, unless you and/or him really enjoy fixing broken stuff.
[06:00] <robertwall> songer: There's a reason why it isn't released yet :)
[06:00] <keith> songer: You can upgrade easily from Ubuntu or Xubuntu to later distros
[06:00] <etherealite> If I install the FGLX package in the 10.4 repos can I expect a sucky experience with my Radeon X1900 XT?
[06:01] <etherealite> FGLRX*
[06:01] <Some_Person> Is it possible to connect to an OpenSSH server and share the VPN over wifi?
[06:01] <Some_Person> s/OpenSSH/OpenVPN
[06:01] <coz_> etherealite,  not sure about ati  but I can show you the readout we use for compiz   ...    For 7000 to HD4xxx series cards, you can use the open source "radeon" driver. HD2xxx and later series cards are also supported by the proprietary "fglrx" driver.
[06:02] <coz_> pmarch,   I have "no" experience with netbooks at all
[06:02] <coz_> pmarch,  I have installe kubuntu netbook on my desktop a few times but that is a differetn procedure
[06:02] <pmarch> coz_ thank you, the flash is working good!
[06:02] <pmarch> thanks
[06:02] <coz_> ok
[06:02] <jimlovell777> keith: thanks I'll give it a read.
[06:03] <sacarlson> Some_Person: I would say yes.  but is the vpn server on the internet of is is local?  my local experience I found some complications in the local side.
[06:03] <etherealite> coz_ whats the word on using the open source driver with an older card (2004 X1900 XT)
[06:03] <samsung> hi you all!
[06:03] <Some_Person> sacarlson: internet
[06:04] <coz_> etherealite, ` not really sure... I know far too little about ati to suggest anything other than that one post.... you could ask in #radeon channel though
[06:04] <sacarlson> Some_Person: then sure why not?
[06:04] <etherealite> coz_ thanx
[06:04] <coz_> etherealite,  no problem
[06:05] <pmarch> .
[06:05] <pmarch> coz_ so now, which apt would you suggest I download to record the flash audio?
[06:06] <pbarros> etherealite:  actually with the older ati cards the opens source drivers are your only option now in 10.04
[06:06] <pbarros> from what I understand
[06:06] <pmarch> It would be nice if I could have the ability to stop recording after 1 or 2 hours automatically
[06:06] <coz_> pmarch,   well   again  not sure.... I believe kubuntu netbook uses  konqueror  for a browser yes??/
[06:07] <pmarch> coz_ yes you are right but I downloaded chrome
[06:07] <pmarch> works much better
[06:07] <alexbev> hello
[06:07] <coz_> pmarch,  it should yes but I dont know of any chrom plugins that will allow recording....
[06:07] <pmarch> mmm ok
[06:07] <pmarch> so it is browser related
[06:08] <itsux2bu> what this mean?  "ldconfig deferred processing now taking place"
[06:08] <Terminus> hello. i'm having trouble getting ldap to run. i'm getting the error "<olcDbIndex> failed startup". config is at http://pastebin.com/5RaRkFws anybody have any ideas?
[06:08] <coz_> pmarch,  well for me ... I use   video downloahelper for firefox
[06:08] <pmarch> I thought I could just download anything and it will record whatever plays on my ctr
[06:08] <coz_> pmarch,  but firefox on netbook would probably be painfully slow
[06:08] <IdleOne> itsux2bu: it is post install configuration,nothing to worry about
[06:08] <pmarch> I don't think so...
[06:08] <pmarch> let me check it out
[06:08] <pmarch> will your software record only the audio tooo
[06:09] <coz_> pmarch,   I hate to say this but     google kubuntu desktop sound recording
[06:09] <pmarch> coz_ Would your applet record the audio only?
[06:09] <alexbev> Can anyone help with properly installing a Hauppauge HVR-2200MCE on Ubuntu 64bit?
[06:09] <coz_> pmarch,  ah I havent tried that  let me check hold on
[06:09] <prince_jammys> Terminus: you may try also at #ldap
[06:09] <pmarch> coz_ ok thanks
[06:09] <z1lt0id> Has anyone had much luck with any kernels above 2.6.32 with Lucid?
[06:10] <maco> pmarch: what was wrong with the mplayer link i gave?
[06:10] <maco> pmarch: it says it does audio & video...
[06:10] <Terminus> prince_jammys: thanks.
[06:10] <prince_jammys> welcome
[06:10] <coz_> pmarch,  according to the preferences it does capture mp3
[06:11] <pmarch> Awsome
[06:11] <pmarch> Ok let me try firefox
[06:11] <maco> ive ripped mp3s out of flvs before
[06:11] <coz_> pmarch,  hold on
[06:12] <coz_> pmarch,  firefox is going to be a load on netbook is my guess
[06:12] <maco> pmarch: http://linux.byexamples.com/archives/229/extract-audio-from-video-or-online-stream/
[06:12] <pbarros> maco:  just confirmed that the .bashrc change from w to W does work.  I know you said you were curious about that with the command prompt
[06:13] <maco> pbarros: yep i changed it here
[06:13] <coz_> phaedra,  maybe vlc  would work
[06:13] <pmarch> thanks maco, let me check it out
[06:13] <coz_> pmarch,  maybe vlc would work
[06:13] <coz_> phaedra,  sorry wrong nick
[06:14] <maco> coz_: ff is pretty heavy for a netbook but not too awful... i can run ff, kmail, quassel all at once without using all the ram
[06:14] <maco> coz_: well then again i have 2 gb... that does get it pretty close to 1 for the load avg though
[06:14] <coz_> maco,  ok cool
[06:14] <pmarch> oh yes vlc
[06:15] <maco> coz_: i dont have 50 tabs open on here like i do on the main laptop, but 10? sure
[06:15] <coz_> pmarch,   look here    also    http://www.seoras.com/2008/05/26/how-to-record-streaming-audio-with-audacity-in-ubuntu-804-hardy-heron/
[06:15] <pmarch> coz_ yes VLC good idea
[06:15] <coz_> pmarch,  try that link also for audacity
[06:15] <pmarch> apt-get install vlc?
[06:15] <coz_> pmarch,   that should work yes
[06:15] <coz_> pmarch,  but also read that link   http://www.seoras.com/2008/05/26/how-to-record-streaming-audio-with-audacity-in-ubuntu-804-hardy-heron/
[06:15] <coz_> pmarch,  its an older post though
[06:15] <pbarros> don't forget the sudo in front of it!  ;)
[06:16] <coz_> pmarch,  yes please  sudo apt-get install vlc
[06:16] <coz_> pmarch,  forget about audacity that is not  kde application
[06:16] <pmarch> the suggestion from maco doesn't have a gui, it's all old style
[06:17] <pmarch> tomorrow I think I will try to install ubuntu for netbook instead
[06:17] <Xearo> Question, How do I get video codecs I install (ex. xvid) to work with my web browsers?
[06:17] <maco> coz_: does it matter whether its a kde app? i use terminator & pidgin, and i'm a kde user/fan
[06:17] <coz_> pmarch,   you may want to go to the #kubuntu channel to see if they have a native application for recording streaming audio on kde
[06:17] <maco> pmarch: dont like the search & launch?
[06:17] <coz_> maco,   well only if you are a purist...personally I use Edubuntu because it uses both kde and gnome libraies
[06:18] <coz_> libraries
[06:18] <maco> coz_: i have svn access in kde :P  i still prefer some gnome apps though. just use what works, regardless of target-DE
[06:18] <itsux2bu> vlc require a gui?
[06:18] <ssfdre38> how do i get my ftp on my server to beable to upload
[06:18] <coz_> maco,    whatever  works :)
[06:18] <mneptok> !info vlc-nox
[06:19] <poi77> Hi! I'm new to linux editors. I'm in VI -- using the -d option -- how do I switch between the side-by-side files?
[06:19] <maco> ssfdre38: install openssh-server and youll have ssh and sftp acess
[06:19] <xangua> itsux2bu: you can use vlc with cli i believe
[06:19] <mneptok> itsux2bu:^^
[06:19] <maco> poi77: ctrl+W followed by an arrow key
[06:19] <poi77> maco: Awesome! Thanks!
[06:19] <ssfdre38> and that will make it where i can upload maco?
[06:20] <mneptok> poi77: why not get started with an easier editor? vi's learning curve can be steep.
[06:20] <maco> ssfdre38: yes, just sftp user@machine, put in password, and then "put filename"
[06:20] <pmarch> coz_ looks like VLC is only a player, not a recorder
[06:20] <pmarch> maco what is search & launch?\
[06:21] <maco> pmarch: the menu thing that makes kubuntu netbook different from regular kubuntu... where you have the favourites at top and categories at bottom and a search bar in the middle
[06:21] <SwedeMike> pmarch: vlc can record/stream as well.
[06:21] <sikilpaake> how can i mount a truecrypt drive that's on a samba share?
[06:21] <Xearo> Question, How do I get video codecs I install (ex. xvid) to work with my web browsers?
[06:21] <coz_> pmarch,  o0   mmm let me check hold on
[06:22] <ssfdre38> what is the sudo to install it to the server?
[06:22] <maco> ssfdre38: sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[06:23] <pbarros> mneptok:  true, but once you learn vi it can some times be faster than having to use a mouse to make edits.
[06:23] <pmarch> maco oh yes, I hate this search
[06:23] <poi77> mneptok: Any suggestions?
[06:23] <duanerousselle> Hello, I am trying to edit a book for an internet archive in the newest openoffice. Does anybody know if there is a way to turn all italics to <em>STRING</em> and all of the footnotes to [1] FOOTNOTE_HERE ?
[06:23] <coz_> pmarch,     http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1354290
[06:23] <mneptok> poi77: ne
[06:23] <z1lt0id> What is the difference between the mainline kernels and the backported maverick kernels out of curiosity?
[06:23] <mneptok> poi77: it's drop-dead simple to use.
[06:23] <xangua> Xearo: installing them should be enought
[06:23] <Delvien> z1lt0id: are you running lucid atm?
[06:23] <poi77> mneptok: Thanks, will look into this!\
[06:23] <coz_> pmarch,  older post but it should offer some insight
[06:24] <z1lt0id> Delvien: That is correct
[06:24] <maco> pmarch: ah well maybe give normal kubuntu UI a try then. systemsettings -> workspace lets you pick between desktop & netbook
[06:24] <pmarch> SwedeMike would you mind telling me how to record from VLC?
[06:24] <Delvien> z1lt0id: maverick kernels are for 10.10, and not 10.04 as you are using, it would be a bad idea to install them :)
[06:25] <Xearo> xangua: I read the INSTALL file and done everything it said including the linking and it said everything was successful and then I go back to the website to watch the xvid movie and it says I still mee the codec
[06:25] <z1lt0id> Delvien: Even though they are backported for the official kernel PPA.  Out of curiosity why is it bad to upgrade the kernel?
[06:25] <Delvien> pmarch google would be your best friend for that sort of question

[06:25] <maitrey>  Hi, I've tried it yesterday, but got no answer. So I'll try my luck once more. I've recently formatted ext. hdd seagate and I'm not able to set the permissions for more users (in whatever format -ext3,4,ntfs) - nothing works. Google is also somehow not useful. Please..
[06:25] <pbarros> poi77:  why did you start using VI in the first place?  do you have to do most your editing via the command line?
[06:26] <xangua> Xearo: what install file¿ did you install restricted-extras¿
[06:26] <Delvien> z1lt0id:  well for one, none of the modules in lucid are built for maverick kernels. You probably would not be able to start X, some drivers, network prolly wouldnt work, etc.
[06:26] <Xearo> I downloaded the linux codec from xvid.org and done the ./configure, make and make install
[06:27] <Delvien> Xearo: did you restart your browser?
[06:27] <lonejack> does anyone know why jdk has been removed from repo(10.4)?
[06:27] <Delvien> Xearo: and did you do "make install" or "sudo make install"?
[06:27] <Aerec> whats a good torrent client for ubuntu?
[06:27] <Xearo> sudo make install
[06:28] <Delvien> lonejack: good question. I would assume its due to oracle :P
[06:28] <Xearo> And yes I restarted my browser
[06:28] <coz_> Aerec,  transmission
[06:28] <z1lt0id> Delvien:  Ah that is a very good point.  Just have to wait till 10.10 to use that kernel build then.  I did try a mainline kernel update of .35 and i got some bizarre error messages, mainly with mountall.. it wouldn't mount my drives properly.  Must be a Plymouth thing
[06:28] <Xearo> And I tried it in Chrome and Firefox
[06:28] <coz_> Aerec,  its already installed
[06:28] <shawnboy> coz_, I'm not stalking you.  :)  just happen to be back. I've looked at more logs and tried couple things. Lucid still freezes. Do you know what it means that the last kern.log stops hard after load kernel line?
[06:28] <z1lt0id> Aerec:  You could try Vuze as well but it is a little bloaty, but tons of fantastic features.
[06:28] <Delvien> Aerec: Transmission and Deluge are both good ones.  When trying to use an Audigy SB Live sound card in Lucid, the device is identified, but all I get is static noise.
[06:29] <shawnboy> nope. hoping to try to rescue this one if possible.
[06:29] <LucidFox> Any iedas?
[06:29] <coz_> shawnboy,  oh man.... mmm  not sure what to say at this point
[06:29] <coz_> LucidFox,  did you c heck in alsamixer?
[06:30] <z1lt0id> LucidFox: I find that the inputs are all weird of Sound Blaster cards in Linux
[06:30] <coz_> LucidFox,   open a terminal   tyep    alsamixer
[06:30] <lonejack> Delvien, is it no longer free?
[06:30] <Xearo> ok, I will try that now
[06:30] <shawnboy> coz_, ok. well, thought I'd ask. looks like from kern.log a hard freeze is happening when tries to load kernel, but that is way over my head to diagnose.
[06:30] <z1lt0id> LucidFox: But try alsamixer as well, I had to change around my inputs.
[06:30] <LucidFox> coz_> I have lots and lots of channels in alsamixer
[06:30] <coz_> shawnboy,  when does this freeze up on you?
[06:30] <Delvien> LucidFox: go to sound options, then the output tab, and play with the "connector" drop down, see if one of those work for you, other than that, make sure you have your volume up past 25%
[06:31] <z1lt0id> LucidFox: With my x-fi the rear and middle speakers are in different inputs compared to windows.  I hate getting behind my computer to change that
[06:31] <coz_> LucidFox,  same here   but make sure none are turned down or muted
[06:31] <Delvien> lonejack: I'm not sure if I understand your question
[06:31] <moskK> how can I make a fake reverse to a domain?
[06:31] <shawnboy> coz_, with Lucid logo in middle of screen.
[06:31] <moskK> porn.com > <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:31] <coz_> shawnboy,  yikes
[06:31] <moskK> *local
[06:31] <coz_> shawnboy,   how old is this install?
[06:32] <shawnboy> coz_, yeah. weird thing is I wasn't doing any "risky" stuff on the system lately.
[06:32] <LucidFox> Delvien> I don't see any connector dropdown on the output tab
[06:32] <Delvien> moskK lets not have any of that please :)
[06:32] <goofrider> hi all, can someone help me with getting PAM to authenticate via LDAP in Lucid
[06:32] <goofrider> ??
[06:32] <coz_> shawnboy,  did you say this was a fairly new install ?
[06:32] <reggi_au> does anyone know anything about "RAID 1"? We're having a minor dissagreement here and I think I'm
[06:32] <Delvien> LucidFox: it's right below the balance slider
[06:32] <shawnboy> coz_, Gosh, installed when Lucide officially released, been updating regularly ever since.
[06:32] <coz_> shawnboy,  oh ok
[06:33] <reggi_au> does anyone know anything about "RAID 1"? We're having a minor disagreement here in the office about a technical point (in which i think I'm right)
[06:33] <coz_> shawnboy, mmm  do you use  PPA 's  of any kind?
[06:33] <coz_> reggi_au,  not off hand but you could try the ##linux channel :)
[06:33] <shawnboy> coz_, yes. Trying to remember what PPA's I messed with last.
[06:33] <LucidFox> Delvien> It's called the Russian word for "Channel", the only options I see there are "No Amplifier" and "Amplifier"
[06:33] <LucidFox> it's set to "Amplifier" now
[06:33] <reggi_au> cool thanks coz
[06:34] <shawnboy> coz_, nothing comes to ming specifically from lately.
[06:34] <coz_> shawnboy,  gimp ppa maybe?
[06:34] <coz_> shawnboy,  xorg-edgers ppa?
[06:34] <Delvien> LucidFox: I'm at a loss then on all of my machines I've never had anything say amp
[06:34] <andi_> test
[06:34] <ubuntu> русский чат
[06:34] <lonejack> Delvien,  I thought jdk was no more free software... But on sun site it is possible download jdk. So it's quite strange that jdk isn't present on repo..
[06:34] <shawnboy> coz_, I don't remember doing gimp ppa, standard is good enough. Def not edgers.
[06:34] <bazhang> ubuntu, #ubuntu-ru
[06:35] <Delvien> lonejack: i see, jdk is still free software, but oracle is changing alot of suns stuff, so I was just saying it could be that
[06:35] <coz_> shawnboy, mm  sometimes  ppa 's have versions of libraries  that can conflict with the current install  I am hoping this did not happen to you
[06:35] <ssfdre38> hey maco what is the sudo for sftp?
[06:35] <shawnboy> I do have previous kernel listing in grub. haven't tried yet because I'm trying to preserve log files of broken system, but may be time to try.
[06:35] <maco> ssfdre38: er...what?
[06:36] <maco> ssfdre38: i thought when you said that before that you meant "whats the command to install it?" and i said "sudo apt-get install openssh-server" .... is that not what you wanted?
[06:36] <coz_> shawnboy,   understood
[06:36] <shawnboy> coz_, I just thought... I can glance at my sources.list to see PPAs.
[06:36] <ssfdre38> you said that i need sftp as well
[06:36] <Delvien> maco I think he wants to know how he uses sftp in terminal, and has his terminology confused.
[06:36] <maco> ssfdre38: that package includes ssh and sftp
[06:36] <ssfdre38> ohh ok
[06:36] <coz_> shawnboy,  that would be good but I believe you can also view log files via live cd  if I am not mistaken
[06:37] <ActionParsnip> ssfdre38: ssh is a swissarmyknife of abilities
[06:37] <LucidFox> By the way
[06:37] <LucidFox> the background noise only appears when I don't try to play sound
[06:37] <gary_inNYC> how can i set my touchpad to trigger navigate forward/back (alt-left/right) actions?  i'm on a Thinkpad T40 laptop.
[06:37] <LucidFox> when I do, it just mutes completely
[06:37] <Delvien> LucidFox: what is your volume at?
[06:37] <LucidFox> 100%
[06:37] <Delvien> weird.
[06:37] <z1lt0id> Arghhh still waiting for the XBMC repos to go back to normal.
[06:38] <z1lt0id> sigh ;)
[06:38] <goofrider> hi all, can someone help me with getting PAM to authenticate via OpenLDAP in Lucid?
[06:38] <coz_> LucidFox,  mmm  have you checked in #pulseaudio or #alsa channels?
[06:38] <LucidFox> in alsamixer, master is at 91%
[06:38] <maco> gary_inNYC: enable horizontal scrolling in touchpad preferences, then edit your browser's config for that
[06:38] <maco> gary_inNYC: if youre using firefox, thats in about:config
[06:38] <lonejack> Delvien, my problem is that I use the netbeans+php. I understand that I can install it from repo with(Openjdk) but I don't know how to set the php-netbans...
[06:38] <Delvien> maco horiz scrolling got borked in lucid for most touchpads btw.
[06:38] <ActionParsnip> gary_inNYC: you could configure the screen edges to do it but you will lose the ability to drag windows from cube side to cube side (I assume you use a full compiz)
[06:39] <maco> Delvien: oh. well if the driver's broken there's nothing you can do about that
[06:39] <jamiewan> LucidFox: pcm levels?
[06:39] <maco> Delvien: er...other than submit a patch :)
[06:39] <Delvien> lonejack: THat's greek to me man :C
[06:39] <shawnboy> well, coz_ I think I'm done for tonight. Thank you for taking a stab at it with me.
[06:39] <Delvien> maco canonical is working on a fix. slloooooooooooooooooooooooowly
[06:39] <coz_> shawnboy,  I am interested in the soluton to ghis
[06:39] <coz_> this
[06:39] <LucidFox> jamiewan> All at 100% in alsamixer, trying to change PCM below 100% drops master instead
[06:39] <riis> I find myself having to "echo disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth" on every boot, is there a config somewhere that I can set it permanently, or should/can I rebuild the appropriate kernel module withot BT support?
[06:39] <coz_> shawnboy,  this   if you find one let me know
[06:39] <gary_inNYC> ty
[06:40] <ActionParsnip> riis: add it to /etc/rc.local ,above the exit 0 line
[06:40] <shawnboy> coz_, will do.
[06:40] <jamiewan> LucidFox: whats the main prob only just got on missed it
[06:40] <ActionParsnip> riis: it will also run as root :)
[06:40] <riis> ActionParsnip: would it be possible to disable it in the module itself?
[06:40] <Delvien> riis: you can remove the module so it doesnt run
[06:40] <riis> guess that's a per-module thing really
[06:41] <LucidFox> jamiewan> No sound on an Audigy SB Live, just background noise
[06:41] <riis> Delvien: I think it's the thinkpad_acpi mod or something, so that might not be desireable as I'll lose other features too
[06:41] <ActionParsnip> riis: you could with module options in /etc/modprobe.d ,just make a new file ending in .conf and add the option line
[06:41] <riis> I already blacklist btusb and bluetooth
[06:41] <rystraum> Hi guys, is there a way to convert a GPT to MBR under Ubuntu Live USB? And, if possible, without needing to clear out that particular disk?
[06:42] <jamiewan> LucidFox: white noise?
[06:42] <ActionParsnip> riis: you will add: option modulename something ,just change the something to the option. The rest will be the same
[06:42] <riis> ActionParsnip: yeah tried that, but couldn't figure out the syntax. I guess I need to know exactly which module "hosts" /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth, how to do that?
[06:42] <LucidFox> jamiewan> It's most obvious when I move the mouse, temporarily disappears when I press Enter on my keyboard, and disappears completely when I try to play audio
[06:43] <Delvien> riis what model of laptop do you own?
[06:43] <riis> Lenovo thinkpad
[06:43] <Delvien> model number?
[06:43] <ActionParsnip> riis: lsmod ,will list the modules and you can play from there. I'd just go for the rc.local file as you will hit the gold immediately
[06:43] <chemical-death> rystraum:  there is a way ...try this...http://greg.agiletortoise.com/2008/09/08/converting-gpt-partition-to-mbr-for-vista/
[06:44] <jamiewan> LucidFox: mate thats weird, i dont know prob go over all the channels make sure the correct boxes check and unchecked
[06:44] <LucidFox> I'm not your mater
[06:44] <LucidFox> * mate
[06:45] <ActionParsnip> LucidFox: is it a create audigy something
[06:45] <Delvien> LucidFox: he was just being friendly
[06:45] <LucidFox> I tried setting different muted channels to 100% in alsamixer
[06:45] <LucidFox> with no result whatsoever
[06:45] <riis> ActionParsnip: will that setting be applied immediately when the mod loads or "later"? (I hate BT with a vengance so want to kill it as hard as possible :) )
[06:45] <LucidFox> ActionParsnip> Yes, it is
[06:45] <pmarch> cos_ I'm now trying to play the website in Firefox, which addon would you recommend I download for playing flash ? Gecko, Totem, VLC or gxine?
[06:45] <ActionParsnip> riis: after everything, just before login prompt shows up
[06:45] <jamiewan> alsm funny sometimes and thats prob and understatement, but i found some things need to be on for it to work in my system anyway, like capture switches and other things.
[06:46] <jamiewan> *alsa
[06:46] <xorwhy> How do I enter a directory path into Nautilus with the keyboard?
[06:46] <ActionParsnip> LucidFox: thought so, those things are a pain to get nice. Not worth it.
[06:46] <coz_> pmarch,  you already have flash installed
[06:46] <coz_> pmarch,  isnt it showing up in firefox?
[06:46] <ActionParsnip> xorwhy: there's a hack in gconf-editor which is a boolean, switches from folder things to text.
[06:47] <LucidFox> ActionParsnip> Well, I wouldn't bother buying, but it's my work computer, and apparently it either doesn't have built-in sound or it's not connected
[06:47] <xorwhy> ah ok, thanks
[06:47] <gary_inNYC> ok, so I was able to set the backspace button to nav back in Firefox, but how about setting swipe hotspots on a touchpad to navigate back/forward in Nautilus & Firefox?
[06:47] <coz_> pmarch,  go to youtube.com and play one of the videos
[06:47] <pmarch> nope, it wants me to download one of those add ons
[06:47] <johnathan> is the a ubuntu console that one can install on a windows machine to allow one access to the server with out having to have a mouse, keyboard and a monitor connected?
[06:47] <jamiewan> LucidFox: but when you get it it is worth it, has been for me works great no dramas
[06:47] <riis> Okay, off for a reboot to test this
[06:47] <pmarch> let me check (youtube
[06:47] <coz_> pmarch,  if that works   then flash is working
[06:47] <LucidFox> jamiewan> I'm not an audiophile, I probably wouldn't even hear any difference
[06:47] <ActionParsnip> LucidFox: true, some people have had luck switching back to OSS
[06:47] <LucidFox> ........ewwwww
[06:47] <LucidFox> Don't suggest that. Ever.
[06:48] <coz_> :)
[06:48] <jamiewan> noooooo
[06:48] <jamiewan> lol
[06:48] <riis> ActionParsnip: btw. I just threw it in a file thinkpad.conf, but the system will read all *.conf from there right? I don't have to add it somewhere?
[06:48] <LucidFox> On an unrelated note
[06:48] <ActionParsnip> gary_inNYC: you could use gestures to go back and forward in browser. There are packages for that sort of stuff
[06:49] <LucidFox> why is the volume level in the indicator displayed as greater than in sound properties?
[06:49] <ActionParsnip> riis: they will all be read, yes
[06:49] <bill> hello
[06:49] <riis> ActionParsnip: thanks!
[06:49] <bill> is this the nerd server ?
[06:49] <coz_> gary_inNYC,  if you want to use gestures systemically install easystroke
[06:49] <xorwhy> ActionParsnip: you don't by chance know the name of the key I'm looking for?
[06:49] <_BEAST> lol
[06:49] <jamiewan> LucidFox: prob one is master and the other pcm
[06:49] <bazhang> !ot | bill
[06:50] <ActionParsnip> xorwhy: not sure. There are guides around though
[06:50] <spaceghost_> anyone know how to fix tsclient not having a gnome border? I don't have compiz on. screenshot: http://i37.tinypic.com/2506kch.jpg
[06:50] <pmarch> cos_ yes youtube works
[06:50] <gary_inNYC> ic, i'll check the repos
[06:50] <demon1981> hi all))) how I can rollback changes after apt-get upgrade?
[06:50] <pmarch> but not this website I am trying to listen from
[06:50] <xorwhy> Ah i found it
[06:51] <xorwhy> "Always use location entry"
[06:51] <jamiewan> LucidFox: open the sound gui and then adjust the vol on the indicator and see what moves
[06:51] <coz_> spaceghost_,  that screenshot shows borders :)
[06:51] <spaceghost_> not on the tsclient window
[06:51] <johnathan> is the a ubuntu console that one can install on a windows machine to allow one access to the server with out having to have a mouse, keyboard and a monitor connected?
[06:52] <LucidFox> jamiewan> they move together, but the indicator one displays a greater value, it's at 100% while the dialog one still has some distance to go
[06:52] <LucidFox> although the dialog also displays 100%, huh
[06:52] <jamiewan> hmm
[06:52] <coz_> spaceghost_,  which paint app is that ? :)  sorry not about issue
[06:53] <spaceghost_> coz_: the paint app is paint from windows 7, which is what my tsclient is connected to
[06:53] <coz_> spaceghost_,  ah gotcha
[06:54] <pmarch> cos_ ok I installed gecko and it works now
[06:55] <pmarch> cos_ now looking for a plugin that will allow me to record ouf
[06:56] <coz_> pmarch,   ouf?
[06:56] <pmarch> sorry coz, not cos
[06:56] <pmarch> ouf... means in french... what a work
[06:56] <pmarch> or something like that
[06:56] <z1lt0id> I'm having issues with Conky disappearing occasionally, has anyone else had this issue before?
[06:56] <coz_> pmarch,  generally if you type the firs 2 or 3  letters of somones name then hit the tab button it will complete the name allerting that person:)
[06:57] <BiggFREE> yes it is ... pmarch
[06:57] <coz_> pmarch,  entendu
[06:57] <BiggFREE> I am speaking french
[06:58] <coz_> pmarch,  je compris
[06:58] <coz_> pmarch,  it is nearly 2am here I need to get to bed
[06:58] <etherealite> So now that there is no xorg.conf, how do we configure X?
[06:58] <coz_> pmarch,  good luck on this ../... I am sure others can lend a hand for you :)
[06:59] <Rummage> Does anyone know about issues concerning wireless portals? - I know I'm to ask the question directly, but it's a long question.
[07:00] <jamiewan> LucidFox: get the gnome-alsa mixer it shows more options and channels
[07:00] <chemical-death> z1lt0id: try "conkyrc" conf file there is a setting "use_own_window" switch it to "no" maybe it helps
[07:00] <bill> mc cd doesn't open anymore
[07:00] <bill> my cd
[07:00] <bill> it is stuck
[07:00] <bill> hwo do i get it out
[07:00] <bill> help
[07:00] <FloodBot4> bill: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:00] <bill> ok
[07:00] <Gnea> bill: press the button
[07:01] <Gnea> bill: after you unmount it
[07:01] <bill> my cd is in the cd player but i pressed the button
[07:01] <bill> unmount
[07:01] <bill> what horse from ?
[07:01] <Gnea> it needs to be unmounted first, then it will open
[07:01] <bill> what
[07:01] <bill> ?
[07:01] <Gnea> bill: this is your first time using Linux/Ubuntu?
[07:01] <bill> yes
[07:01] <Gnea> okay
[07:01] <z1lt0id> chemical_death: cheers i'll try that
[07:02] <bill> so did i lose my cd
[07:02] <bill> did ubuntu eat it ?
[07:02] <Gnea> a little known fact about Linux is that, when you want to read any device, be it a hard drive, cdrom, flash driver, etc, it needs to be mounted to a directory first
[07:02] <moawia> i hear ubuntu gets hungry
[07:02] <Gnea> in the case of a cdrom, when it is mounted, it locks the drive so that the disc can't be ejected accidentally during a read
[07:02] <spaceghost_> if I fixed a problem and there aren't any topics on it, can I post it on the forums for posterity? like [solved] blah?
[07:02] <moawia> <~~~ aka darth_tux71 on neighbors puter on a fresh install
[07:03] <bill> ok
[07:03] <Rummage> Bill: Right click its icon on the desktop (there should be one given most setups), select unmount.
[07:03] <Gnea> that way if you bump the button while watching a movie, for instance, it won't stop and eject the disc
[07:03] <bill> how does it come out
[07:03] <bill> great idea
[07:03] <bill> but not right now
[07:03] <bazhang> !enter | bill
[07:03] <Gnea> well, first you need to unmount the disc - start by opening up Places->Computer
[07:04] <xorwhy> Whats a good little ftp program I can use to upload web files to my web server?
[07:04] <Gnea> or look for the CDROM disc icon on your desktop
[07:04] <etherealite> So now that there is no xorg.conf, how do we configure xorg??
[07:04] <Gnea> right-click on the CDROM disc icon, select 'unmount'
[07:04] <etherealite> xorwhy fillzilla
[07:04] <bill> ok found it
[07:04] <pmarch> cos_ thank you very much
[07:04] <pmarch> good night
[07:04] <z1lt0id> chemical-death: that just made it disappear permanently
[07:04] <bill> yes i have selected it
[07:04] <xorwhy> etherealite: k
[07:04] <mneptok> xorwhy: are you using GNOME?
[07:05] <Gnea> bill: if all goes well, you should now be able to press the button and have it eject, if it didn't give any error messages
[07:05] <Rummage> Captive portals, anyone? Failing in that, the 'i agree' page before you can freely use wi-fi?
[07:05] <chemical-death> z1lt0id: did you restart the conky thing?
[07:05] <bill> great
[07:05] <z1lt0id> i did
[07:05] <bill> it works
[07:05] <xorwhy> mneptok: yes, i tried nautilus, it says it can't handle the ftp protocol?
[07:05] <Gnea> excellent
[07:05] <z1lt0id> chemical-death: i did
[07:05] <bill> now i'm gonna install windows
[07:05]  * moawia still remembers having to read about mount umount in the manual
[07:05] <bill> this is awefull
[07:05] <bill> but thanks
[07:05] <bill> bye
[07:05] <FloodBot4> bill: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:05] <Gnea> whatever suits you
[07:05] <look> bill, NO DONT INSTALL WINGDOZE
[07:05] <Gnea> good luck
[07:05] <chemical-death> z1lt0id: no prob switch it back to "yes"
[07:05] <Gnea> look: stop.
[07:05] <bazhang> look, stop that
[07:05] <xorwhy> mount unmount is still quite relevant
[07:05] <z1lt0id> chemical-death: i think it might be something to do with compiz.  do you want me to paste my conkyrc to pastebin so you can look at it
[07:05] <mneptok> xorwhy: it certainly does. use "Connect to server" from the "Places" menu
[07:05] <look> ok
[07:06] <excess^|home> Wow! This Pandora icon looks terrible on the top panel. Anyone know how to fix it?
[07:06] <Gnea> people have a right to their choice, it is disrespectful to try to dissuade someone who has already made up their mind
[07:06] <chemical-death> z1lt0id: try this http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/conky-disappears-after-i-click-anywhere-else-on-desktop-help-needed-724058/
[07:06] <xangua> excess^|home: no idea what are you talking about
[07:06] <Prinny> It's a shame that not being able to eject his disc discouraged him from Linux. Hopefully he'll give it a try again later.
[07:06] <Prinny> I know it took me forever to make the plunge myself.
[07:07] <Gnea> Prinny: I'm willing to bet it's a bunch of other things, and the disc issue was just the icing on the cake.
[07:07] <Rummage> Okay, regardless: I can ping the gateway server but I cannot reach the captive portal system on a wireless network. Ideas?
[07:07] <xorwhy> Cannot connect to server. You must enter a name for the server.
[07:07] <Gnea> he could have also been BSing us :)
[07:07] <xorwhy> That's stupid there is only one input box.
[07:07] <_BEAST> Rummage: WHAT ?
[07:07] <Loneclock> poem time...anyone like my poem http://pastebin.com/516NPzaT
[07:07] <pbarros> Gnea:  I'm going to bet that was the case :D
[07:07] <Prinny> Either of those two possibilities could be true, Gnea.
[07:07] <bazhang> Loneclock, wrong channel
[07:08] <majdekalel_> hello guys
[07:08] <_BEAST> lol
[07:08] <Loneclock> bazhang, which channel?
[07:08] <robertwall> Loneclock: #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:08] <majdekalel_> nice to see you
[07:08] <Prinny> Howdy, majdekalel_.
[07:08] <_BEAST> Loneclock: #pkill-9
[07:08] <majdekalel_> howdy !!
[07:08] <Gnea> pbarros: anything's possible, but maybe he'll feel likely to give it another shot sometime now :)
[07:09] <Rummage> _Beast: As I say. I connect to a wireless network, no captive portal appears. I use the windows partition to get the address of the portal system and the ip of the gateway server. I try inputting the portal address, an apparently hanging 'looking up. . .' from firefox. Pinged the gateway server, that immediately responds. Try inputting the IP into firefox, it attempts to connect for a moment before telling me the connection has timed out or so.
[07:09] <chemical-death> z1lt0id: another one which helps maybe as well http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1290371
[07:09] <majdekalel_> hi Prinny are you good in ubuntu server stuff ?
[07:09] <majdekalel_> i have a question
[07:09] <majdekalel_> ?
[07:09] <Prinny> I'm afraid not. =( But I'm sure someone here is.
[07:09] <sacarlson> does ubuntu or even linux have a way to print bank checks like with E13-B MICR fonts?  I think I found the font just need something that will print one check.  I even tried windows and fail to find a free one
[07:09] <chemical-death> g2g
[07:09] <Prinny> Just post your question and hopefully someone will be able to answer.
[07:09] <xorwhy> mneptok: Does not work. Only two input boxes. One for bookmark. Other for location. After hitting OK, error: You must enter a name for the server"
[07:09] <excess^|home> xangua, look http://yfrog.com/nfscreenshotlep
[07:09] <_BEAST> Rummage:  Are you using a proxy ?
[07:10] <majdekalel_> ok can i build domain controller on ubuntu like in that exist in windows server 2003 ?
[07:10] <shawnboy> What's the tar command to tgz all files in current dir without going into sub directories?
[07:10] <Rummage> _Beast: I should hope not. This is a public wi-fi node and I've got a clean 10.04 install.
[07:10] <pmarch> does anyone here would know how to record any sound that comes from my computer under mp3?
[07:10] <mneptok> xorwhy: is this a public (anonymous) FTP server?
[07:10] <_BEAST> Rummage:  Hmm
[07:11] <xorwhy> mneptok: it has a public ftp://foo address, if that answers the questions
[07:11] <xorwhy> ^-s
[07:11] <mneptok> xorwhy: i suggest you look *carefully* at the "Connect to server" dialog box and make selections carefully.
[07:11] <xorwhy> Service type, Custom Location.
[07:11] <_BEAST> Rummage: could be the wifi
[07:11] <xorwhy> This is the only available selection.
[07:11] <Rummage> _Beast: This is a problem on two different wi-fi nodes.
[07:11] <majdekalel_>  ok can i build domain controller on ubuntu like in that exist in windows server 2003 ?
[07:11] <mneptok> xorwhy: and ftp:// is implied by the connection type. just put an address.
[07:12] <Rummage> One run by a corporation, one by the government.
[07:12] <_BEAST> Rummage: different subnets
[07:12] <_BEAST> Rummage: k
[07:12] <_BEAST> Rummage: obviously for a portal
[07:13] <_BEAST> Rummage: what is the error message ? when it times out ?
[07:13] <xorwhy> this isnt going to work
[07:13] <z1lt0id> chemical-death: i'll look into thanks
[07:13] <Rummage> Standard Firefox error message for timeout. Check you can connect to the internet, firewalls, that sort of thing.
[07:14] <joschi> majdekalel_: you'll probably have to wait until samba 4 will be released -> http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/HOWTO
[07:14] <_BEAST> Rummage: hmm, you try to run nmap and find some open ports and see if you can connect ? Wait its a portal
[07:15] <joschi> majdekalel_: there's also a similar project for linux: freeIPA (http://freeipa.org/), but it's not compatible to AD
[07:15] <_BEAST> Rummage: do you have a smart phone
[07:15] <Rummage> No, unless you count the Rant in that (I don't).
[07:15] <demon1981> hi all How I can list all packages installed in my 10.04 with versions?
[07:16] <ZykoticK9> !clone | demon1981
[07:16] <robertwall> demon1981: dpkg -l
[07:16] <_BEAST> Rummage: did you try wget ?
[07:16] <demon1981> thank:)
[07:17] <Rummage> _Beast: Hadn't heard of it until you mentioned it. And, I'm sorry to say we're going to have to run off of theory for now.
[07:17] <demon1981> ZykoticK9: that it means?
[07:17] <_BEAST> Rummage: ?
[07:18] <tech-mike> sup peeps....how can i change mouse wheel scroll sensitivity?
[07:18] <majdekalel_> thank you joschi
[07:18] <_BEAST> Rummage: you lose connectivity ?
[07:18] <Rummage> That is, I appreciate the next step is to tell me to try wget, but I can't as I'm not at the node and indeed completely out of wifi range.
[07:18] <_BEAST> Rummage: War driving ?
[07:18] <Rummage> Pardon?
[07:18] <excess^|home> Why do when I connect through VNC Viewer to my home Ubuntu screen, I am able to login however not able to interact with the system?
[07:20] <_BEAST> Rummage: Well if you are completely out of range and you are using two different wifi nodes my first inclination would be that you are war driving , just my 2 cents
[07:20] <dubey> hello
[07:20] <dubey> i am running ppp connection using USB Data Card on linux, and sharing that connection to other laptops using wirless AP using iptables. Everyone is able to use internet But they are not able to ping AP & linux box and Linux box is also not able to ping AP and any laptops
[07:20] <Rummage> I don't know what war driving is. I'm connecting to a library and an internet cafe for these tests.
[07:20] <dubey> http://pastebin.com/tNFrjc8s
[07:21] <_BEAST> Rummage: Gottcha
[07:21] <_BEAST> dubey: that is a high tech question
[07:22] <Rummage> Now looking at wget's man pages, it appears the idea behind it is to manhandle spotty connections, which, whilst cool, is really not the idea. I'm going to university in. . . *checks time* eight days now, and they have a portal system on campus.
[07:22] <dubey> what does it mean ?
[07:22] <_BEAST> dubey: how do you pronounce that du bay  or du bee?
[07:22] <dubey> du bay
[07:23] <_BEAST> dubey: I can only help you if if it is dubee sorry ;)
[07:24] <dubey> anyone else ?
[07:24] <etherealite> So now that there is no xorg.conf, how do we configure X?
[07:24] <_BEAST> dubey: How do you have your iptables configured ?
[07:25] <_BEAST> Rummage: What campus ?
[07:25] <Rummage> GMU
[07:25] <_BEAST> mason?
[07:26] <Rummage> Aye.
[07:26] <_BEAST> ;)
[07:26] <_BEAST> Rummage: G00d school
[07:26] <dubey> _BEST :  http://pastebin.com/9CDKM8AD
[07:27] <Rummage> Well, thanks, but it's going to suck if I can't get onto the bloody wifi.
[07:27] <_BEAST> Rummage: what do you mean you are connected right now im sure that the issue will be resolved the  portal could be down
[07:28] <Rummage> This is my tower computer.
[07:28] <Rummage> On a modem connection.
[07:28] <Rummage> On XP.
[07:28] <mneptok> Rummage: who makes the wifi chipset in your machine?
[07:28] <_BEAST> good call
[07:29] <Rummage> Realtek.
[07:29] <Rummage> Realtek 8172 to be precise.
[07:29] <mneptok> Rummage: laptop or desktop?
[07:29] <_BEAST> dubee: I do not see where that affects your AP points
[07:29] <Rummage> Laptop.
[07:30] <mneptok> Rummage: embedded, cardbus, PCI-E ...?
[07:30] <_BEAST> embedded
[07:30] <_BEAST> Oh wait a tower
[07:30] <mneptok> _BEAST: do try to keep up, dear :P
[07:31]  * Rummage facedesks
[07:31] <Rummage> There are two machines. The one I am communicating with is an XP tower computer that will not be coming with me.
[07:31] <_BEAST> lol
[07:31] <Rummage> The one I am working on is an Ubuntu laptop which will.
[07:31] <mneptok> Rummage: is the Realtek embedded or an add-in card of some type?
[07:31] <_BEAST> so your wifi is embedded
[07:31] <Rummage> It came with the laptop.
[07:32] <_BEAST> Rummage: iwconfig output
[07:32] <mneptok> Rummage: my laptop came with WiFI, and it's a Mini PCI-E half-height add-in card
[07:32] <Rummage> Well, it came installed and functional on W7. A toshiba satellite.
[07:33] <Rummage> I don't see any wireless card ports on it :|
[07:33] <_BEAST> Rummage: iwconfig output
[07:33] <_BEAST> Rummage: terminal type iwconfig output
[07:33] <_BEAST> Rummage: terminal type iwconfig then tell me the output
[07:33] <Rummage> I'm trying.
[07:33] <Rummage> What are you looking for? I have to manually type it to you.
[07:34] <_BEAST> Rummage: what does it say when you type iwconfig
[07:35] <therealpxc> if only it was easy for a newbie to start a read-only screen session and share read access to a terminal over IRC... I guess 'til then we have the pastebin
[07:35] <therealpxc> (it's still a viable option for anyone who wants to try it, but it can't be a default recommendation)
[07:35] <_BEAST> lol
[07:36] <dubey> anyone
[07:36] <Rummage> therealpxc: The laptop and the communicating computer are separate. I have to manually type up the output, pastebin or no.
[07:36] <_BEAST> Rummage: terminal type iwconfig output
[07:36] <_BEAST> Rummage: terminal type iwconfig
[07:36] <Rummage> lo and eth0 both have nothing. wlan0 has 802.11bgn nickname:"rtl8191seva2" (weird since I know this is 8172, but the driver is 8192SE, this is supposed to function) Mode:managed frequency=2.412Ghz Access point: Not-Associated Bit Rate: 300MB/s Retry: on RTS thr: off Fragment thr:off Power Management: off
[07:36] <_BEAST> Rummage: perfect
[07:37] <Rummage> Don't want the rest, then?
[07:37] <_BEAST> Rummage: no you can give the rest
[07:37] <_BEAST> Rummage: but your wifi is working
[07:38] <Rummage> Link Quality=10/100 Signal level=0 dbm Noise level=-100 dbm Rx invalid nwid:0 rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
[07:38] <Rummage> That's all of it.
[07:38] <therealpxc> Rummage: the two things you generally need to check for WiFi connectivity are whether or not you're associated (iwconfig) and if you have an IP address (ifconfig). You might also want to check your default gateway (route) or nameservers (cat /etc/resolv.conf), but probably not.
[07:39] <Rummage> I'm willing to try anything at this point.
[07:39] <Rummage> On ifconfig, would that be the HWAddr?
[07:39] <therealpxc> I missed some of the earlier conversation. What are the symptoms? An apparent connection, but no actual connectivity?
[07:39] <therealpxc> Under ifconfig, it's the "inet addr"
[07:40] <Rummage> therealpxc: Can ping the gateway server of a wi-fi node, but can't connect to it for the portal page.
[07:40] <therealpxc> have you tried multiple browsers?
[07:40] <Rummage> I only have an inet addr output for local loopback.
[07:40] <therealpxc> it may be a left-behind proxy setting or the like
[07:41] <therealpxc> it looks like you aren't _really_ on the network with wlan0
[07:41] <Rummage> therealpxc: This is a clean 10.04 install, that has never been able to connect to the net. :|
[07:41] <therealpxc> run "sudo dhclient wlan0" to try to get a new IP
[07:41] <_BEAST> !nice
[07:41] <_BEAST> STFU
[07:41] <mneptok> Rummage: and the WAP SSID is *really* "Not-Associated?"
[07:41] <mneptok> _BEAST: language, please
[07:41] <Rummage> mneptok: That's what it says.
[07:42] <Rummage> therealpxc: Was that command predicated on the assumption that I am near a wifi node? Because I'm not.
[07:42] <mneptok> Rummage: and you connected to this by using nm-applet to look for available access points?
[07:42] <_BEAST> lol @ the answer depart message
[07:42] <therealpxc> I'm sorry, mate. If you plug it into wired, you can install the linux-backports-modules-wireless which may help. Other than that, we can slug through setting up NDISwrapper together! :D
[07:42] <therealpxc> Rummage: it was, I'm sorry. The other guy said you were connected so I didn't bother to check to read for association myself
[07:42] <Rummage> mneptok: Whichever one is responsible for our little connection widget on the status bar.
[07:43] <Rummage> And I don't have the means to connect the laptop wired, unfortunately.
[07:43] <mneptok> therealpxc: if Rummage can see access points in nm-applet, there's no need for ndiswrapper.
[07:43] <Rummage> Basically, I have a USB drive that can handle files 5gb or less.
[07:43] <Rummage> And that's the only way to get data to the laptop at the moment.
[07:44] <therealpxc> Let me see if I'm caught up. You can see nearby APs, but can't associate? Are they secured? Sometimes unsecured association works while WPA/WPA2 is flakey on some drivers
[07:45] <Rummage> Both of these networks are unsecured. No passwords. However, before you're free to go a-roamin' they require viewing a captive portal page, which gives you terms and conditions and an I Agree button. On most computers, apparently, this page comes up automagically. For me it does not, and my attempts to reach it have been futile.
[07:46] <mneptok> Rummage: try "nslookup cnn.com" in a terminal
[07:46] <therealpxc> It seems to me, though, that you're not even associated with the AP, let alone having a place on the network represented with an IP. It baffles me that you said you could ping the gateway
[07:46] <Rummage> mneptok: I am not connected in any way on this laptop. . .
[07:47] <kalimba> hi
[07:47] <Rummage> therealpxc: It did give me an ip, .52 to the gateway's .1
[07:47] <mneptok> Rummage: then you cannot possibly ping anything.
[07:47] <Rummage> mneptok: I am reporting on past attempts. I am not sitting in a library at 2am asking you these questions.
[07:47] <mneptok> Rummage: then there's no point in trying to help, as anything we suggest cannot be tested.
[07:48] <Rummage> mneptok: You guys are the only ones who've even responded to my queries, and I can test an idea later, and report back.  Any help gratefully received -:)
[07:49] <WXZ> hey ubuntu, how do I send a command to an already existing instance of an application, for example I know pidgin -n creates a new instance of pidgin and sets it to offline
[07:49] <LucidFox> the onboard one, which doesn't work
[07:49] <manuelx> :-)rn
[07:49] <quentusrex> What header file on Ubuntu 10.04 defines PATH_MAX ?
[07:49] <LucidFox> when I plugged them into the SB Live, I got sound
[07:49] <WXZ> anyway I can send the "-n" paramater to the already running instance of pidgin though?
[07:49] <LucidFox> out of the box
[07:50] <therealpxc> Rummage: well, it's gonna be hard to work on this with no APs nearby, and it's 1:49am where I am, but I'd like to help you through this problem when I can. Would you mind if I contacted you over email or IM?
[07:50] <Rummage> My next attempt I can use IM on my phone as I work on my laptop, so I guess that.
[07:51] <therealpxc> okay
[07:51] <dr0id> how do I open a rar file on ubunut ?
[07:53] <therealpxc> dr0id: you need to install "unrar", or something similar, since it's non-free. If you install the package "ubuntu-restricted-extras", it will take care of this and some other common things
[07:54] <dr0id> thanks,done :)
[07:55] <dr0id> therealpxc: I installed unrar-free
[07:56] <dr0id> but when I extract the file isn't getting extracted
[07:57] <brontoeee> dr0id, some rar archives may not be supported or b. your rar is borken
[07:57] <kostkon> dr0id, better remove "unrar-free" and install "unrar". Also install "rar".
[07:57] <dr0id> unrar is paid
[07:57] <awk> hi guys, hmm, using ubuntu 10.04 ... network manager / either cisco vpn or / windows pptp vpn connections, I can create them but I can't connect to them.. if I go to network manager -> vpn connections I click on the name and it does nothing, doesn't ask to connect or doesn't connect, anyone else experienced this bug?
[07:57] <kostkon> dr0id, "unrar" is the non-free version but it has better support for the various formats of rar archives
[07:58] <dr0id> kostkon: so will I be allowed to install it, since its non-free ?
[07:58] <kostkon> dr0id, yes
[07:58] <dr0id> lol, wait, let me try
[07:58] <kostkon> dr0id, install "unrar" and "rar"
[07:59] <dr0id> then what is the meaning of non-freE? :P
[07:59] <kostkon> dr0id, err let's c
[07:59] <kostkon> !info unrar | dr0id
[07:59] <kostkon> hmm not much info there
[07:59] <IdleOne> man unrar
[08:00] <dr0id> ohh gr8 kostkon
[08:00] <dr0id> thanks a TON TON TON TON TON :)
[08:00] <kostkon> dr0id, np
[08:01] <dr0id> you don't even know how much your help as benefitted me ;)
[08:01] <dr0id> thanks :)
[08:01] <kostkon> dr0id, :)

[08:08] <netlarip> Hi
[08:09] <Xearo> So I have been fighting with Chrome and xvid for about 3 hours now. I installed the restricted extras, the xvid plug-in from xvid.org and a couple other suggestions I tried using Google and I still cannot play Xvid that stream in the internet browser. Any suggestions to make this work? I am using Google Chrome for Linux

[08:10] <etherealite> I've got an issue with my mouse bing slow as molasses in 10.4, anyone know how to speed it up, its already maxed.
[08:12] <cheeseexeesee> how do i start with ONE?
[08:13] <Gnea> cheeseexeesee: what kind of mouse is it? ps2? usb?
[08:14] <Gnea> oops
[08:14] <Gnea> etherealite: that was meant for you ^^^
[08:14] <Gnea> cheeseexeesee: 'ONE'?
[08:14] <etherealite> Gnea USB Microsoft Microsoft 3-Button Mouse with IntelliEye(TM)
[08:14] <etherealite> according to xinput
[08:15] <etherealite> Gnea Its looking like I need to write a udev rule
[08:15] <Gnea> etherealite: is it slow all the time or only if it's plugged/unplugged?
[08:16] <mneptok> etherealite: or drink 15 Red Bulls and get a 6 hectare mouse pad
[08:16] <Gnea> etherealite: have you checked the laser portion on the bottom of the mouse to make sure there isn't like a small hair or piece of lint in the way?
[08:19] <Orborde> I'm getting errors to the tune of "Requested download is not authorized for use with this tracker" on my Ubuntu 10.04 torrents.

[08:22] <UMIT> hello, I have a problem with my ubuntu setup.  I get the unknown uid before login screen comes up, what could be the problem?
[08:22] <etherealite> Gnea yes I have checked for hair and stuff, there's none, plus it works fine with windows.

[08:23] <johnathan> does anyone know of a app that can be used on a windows machine to allow me access to my ubuntu server?
[08:25] <well_laid_lawn> putty might work
[08:26] <johnathan> k thx lm checking it out now
[08:26] <Gnea> etherealite: have you tried it with gpm?
[08:28] <ThomasB2k> good night
[08:30] <trimeta> What's a good KDirStat equivalent for Gnome?
[08:31] <sacarlson> is there a way to kill this defuct process I see in ps -A  with dhclient <defunct>.  I tried sudo killall dhclient and it's still there
[08:33] <sacarlson> I also tried logout and login again and it's still there.  I guess I have to reboot?
[08:33] <etherealite> Gnea does gpm that work with xorg?
[08:34] <sacarlson> etherealite: yes it does
[08:34] <trimeta> Am I the only one getting random PMs asking for my bra size? It started happening after I posted in here and in #gentoo, and it seems more likely that someone is trolling here.
[08:35] <Gnea> etherealite: yes, you can switch between console and X and still have a working mouse.... well, that's a matter of debate at this point :)
[08:35] <sacarlson> etherealite: opps maybe I thought you meant gdm
[08:36] <etherealite> I have to install the entire gnome dep tree for gdm to work, gahhhh.
[08:37] <Gnea> no
[08:37] <Gnea> GPM, not GDM
[08:37] <Gnea> P != D
[08:38] <johnathan> well_laid_lawn: it worked thank you
[08:38] <well_laid_lawn> np :]
[08:38] <etherealite> Gnea seems to me like its not going to help me when I'm in X, only in console .
[08:38] <robertwall> trijntje: it's spam, let #freenode know about it (without pasting the message in there)
[08:39] <Gnea> etherealite: point is, will it be slow in console or not?
[08:39] <robertwall> trijntje: ... mistab, sorry
[08:42] <johnathan> no to start playing
[08:43] <johnathan> lm now using my windows pc to type here :P
[08:43] <ARGGG> how does one adjust overscan on ubuntu 10.04?
[08:44] <johnathan> say lm using putty to access my server how would l start my GUI from the windows machine?
[08:44] <ARGGG> is there any way to fix overscan?
[08:45] <gimpy283> Having problem with 10.04-Server setting the wrong resolution (no GUI).  It boots up to the point where Ubu tries to set its console resoltion but sets it wrong so it does not work and my monitor just shows "No input".  Setting GRUB_GFXMODE in /etc/default/grub did not help at all.
[08:45] <johnathan> cos l tried it but it told me that l don't have the permission to startx
[08:45] <gimpy283> johnathan: you mean run a GUI through SSH so it shows up on the Windows box?
[08:45] <johnathan> yes something like that
[08:46] <marekw2143> hi, on ubuntu 8.10 I have mesa 7.2 installed, and would like to update it to 7.8 version, I downloaded .deb packages from https://launchpad.net/~bryceharrington/+archive/bronze/+build/1734305, what to do to upgrade existing version?
[08:46] <gimpy283> johnathan: It's a pain on Windows, but there are guides on Google.  It's called X11 forwarding and I've never had it work via Putty, only Linux to Linux (OpenSSH) and using Cygwin on Windows with the Windows variant of OpenSSH
[08:47] <johnathan> you see l wanna be able yo remove my monitor,mouse and keyboard and only access the server via my windows machine.I put putty on and also tightvnc is installed as that is how lm typing here
[08:47] <mick_> I'm trying to move a cloned partition to a large disk and make it bootable using Clonezilla. Anyone have any experience of doing this that can help me out?
[08:47] <gimpy283> johnathan: ...or use VNC if you want a GUI always running like that.  You don't need putty for VNC.
[08:48] <robertwall> marekw2143: Ubuntu 8.10 reached End of Life in April, and is thus no longer receiving security updates or supported by this channel. For information on upgrading to a supported Ubuntu version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades/Intrepid
[08:48] <johnathan> k
[08:49] <ARGGG> no one with a suggestion on how to fix overscan?
[08:49] <johnathan> l do plan on only using the terminal for work needing done on the server but lm still new to ubuntu so lm still getting the hang of things
[08:50] <johnathan> so then l can use putty as lm hoping to stop using a GUI completely in the end.
[08:50] <IdleOne> !wine
[08:51] <bryan_r59> test
[08:51] <IdleOne> pass
[08:51]  * robertwall steals IdleOne's pastry
[08:51] <ARGGG> does wine run ati drivers?
[08:51] <gimpy283> johnathan: I think you are mixing thigs up....VNC has nothing to do with Putty, it's for command line access and some others things like X11 forwarding.  If you want to see the GUI and have tightvncsever running on the Ubu box, then just use a VNC client/viewer to connect to it.
[08:52]  * IdleOne gives robertwall a mill feuille
[08:53] <johnathan> not really gimpy283. As lm still new to ubuntu so lm using the GUI on it and am using tightvnc to be able to use the GUI on my server.But once l have better know how of ubuntu then l will only use putty to do everything via command line
[08:55] <Seveas-train> johnathan, fix your keyboard first. An l is not an I.
[08:56] <muneeb> hi
[08:57] <Seveas-train> hi muneeb
[08:57] <muneeb> i'm trying to recompile linux kernelwith k10temp
[08:57] <jimlovell777> I'm trying to convert VOB files from a Sony camcorder to avi, mpg, mp4 (I don't care which) so I can import the files into a video editor. What would be a good set of params for FFMPEG to not loos video quality or audio sync? I can't seem to use mp3 audio, read a little about it but I don't know what to do since the mediabuntu repo is throwing 404s for everything...
[08:57] <muneeb> but i'm getting error
[08:58] <muneeb> can anyone help me?
[08:58] <Gnea> jimlovell777: avidemux can do that, forget about ffmpeg
[08:58] <IdleOne> muneeb: ##linux
[08:58] <johnathan> Seveas-train: There is nothing wrong with my keyboard as lm not pressing shift and the i button together
[08:58] <etherealite> I've got to conflicting docs here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Input#Input Configuration with udev (Ubuntu 10.04) and https://wiki.kubuntu.org/X/InputConfiguration#Driver/device options (Ubuntu 9.10)
[08:58] <Seveas-train> johnathan, then fix your brain.
[08:59] <well_laid_lawn> heh
[08:59] <IdleOne> johnathan: you are clearly not pressing shift+i because you are pressing l
[08:59] <muneeb> @idleone what?
[08:59] <Gnea> etherealite: of course you do, one is for 9.10 the other is for 10.04
[08:59] <johnathan> Seveas-train: that was a uncalled for comment
[08:59] <IdleOne> muneeb: try asking in ##linux
[08:59] <jimlovell777> Gnea: Ok I'll give it a shot
[08:59] <johnathan> l will have it taken further
[08:59] <etherealite> Gnea look closer specifically this line in the 9.10 docs:  The x11_options properties are not supported in Ubuntu 10.04.  That's why I suggest you get your brain fixed.
[09:00] <johnathan> robertwall: why what?
[09:00] <Gnea> etherealite: exactly.
[09:00] <IdleOne> Seveas-train: agreed, let's be civil anyway :)
[09:00] <Gnea> etherealite: still, you should be able to use GpM.
[09:01] <muneeb> thank you guys
[09:01] <johnathan> Seveas-train: l will type how ever l want cos you seem to be the only one that has a problem with it
[09:01] <Seveas-train> !ops | please remove trollboy johnathan
[09:01] <Gnea> !attitude | johnathan, Seveas-train
[09:02] <etherealite> Gnea I know I can use gpm when i'm doing console work, but most of my work is done in X in a web browser.
[09:02] <marekw2143> robertwall: thanks
[09:02] <Gnea> etherealite: you still haven't answered my question: is the mouse still slow with gpm or not?
[09:02] <kyle_> in ubuntu 10.4 explorer, how so i search in sub folders..
[09:03] <winkzhang> ...
[09:03] <Seveas-train> kyle_, explorer? You mean nautilus?
[09:03] <etherealite> Gnea haven't tried yet be right back.
[09:04] <gsergiu> hello people
[09:04] <kyle_> Seveas_train: um yes.. lol oops
[09:04] <gsergiu> can anyone help me with something
[09:04] <IdleOne> ask
[09:04] <gimpy283> !ask:gsergiu
[09:04] <vivek312> Can we connect Tata Photon to Ubuntu 10.4??
[09:05] <gsergiu> well I'm a ubuntu newbie and I have a really tricky modem
[09:05] <gsergiu> and I've been going through a lot of problems my current one is that
[09:05] <Gnea> gsergiu: what sort of modem? dialup? dsl?
[09:05] <gsergiu> dsl
[09:05] <gsergiu> ppoe
[09:05] <gsergiu> dsl speedtouch 330
[09:05] <Gnea> aaah
[09:05] <Gnea> those are fun
[09:06] <gsergiu> yeah I've been trying to get it work before and just quit but this time I'm determined
[09:06] <gsergiu> well the problem is
[09:06] <Gnea> have you read this guide yet?
[09:06] <gsergiu> sec gotta search some file names
[09:06] <Gnea> !dsl | gsergiu
[09:06] <gsergiu> I've read all I could lay my hands on
[09:06] <gsergiu> I'm tryign to get it work through usbadslmodemmanager_0.5.8_i386.deb
[09:07] <gsergiu> and the thing is it needs python-gnome2-extras_2.19.1-3.1_i386.deb to work which is troublesome
[09:07] <vivek312> ubottu: Can we connect Tata Photon to Ubuntu 10.4??
[09:07] <gsergiu> after i uninstalled it from linux (had to uninstall another thing) then reinstall some dependencies
[09:07] <gsergiu> i've ran into a brick wall
[09:07] <gsergiu> it says it needs python <<2.6
[09:07] <Mouzz> The gdm face browser shows who is currently logged in. They have a green marker net to their name. It also possible to get this marker when logging in through the remote greeter using XDMCP?
[09:08] <gsergiu> which I believe I have
[09:08] <Gnea> gsergiu: so you're trying to install these packages without an internet connection to it?
[09:08] <bazhang> !enter | gsergiu
[09:08] <gsergiu> well I have a internet connection on windows (which I'm currently using)
[09:08] <gsergiu> and i've just been switching os
[09:08] <Gnea> okay
[09:08] <gsergiu> everytime i needed something downloaded
[09:08] <bazhang> gsergiu, stop using the enter key after a couple of words
[09:09] <Gnea> gsergiu: so, my question to you is, and I'm only looking for a yes or no, nothing more, is have you read the website that I had ubottu point out to you? I don't care about any other site at this point.
[09:09] <vivek312> ubottu: Can we connect Tata Photon to Ubuntu 10.4??
[09:09] <gsergiu> no i have not, let me read through it
[09:10] <Gnea> please do.
[09:10] <c3l> it seems dwm is installed by default on ubuntu, but where too? how do configure the header files etc as you would normally do? is it only a binary thats installed, thatd be quite pointless?
[09:10] <bazhang> vivek312, ubottu is a bot
[09:10] <Seveas-train> vivek312, what is tata photon?
[09:10] <vivek312> Seveas-train: its a modem..
[09:10] <Gnea> Seveas-train: it's a wireless modem, basically
[09:10] <Seveas-train> c3l, it is not installed by default
[09:10] <vivek312> bazhang: so what it means??
[09:11] <alex_joni> having problems with grub2 installing 10.04
[09:11] <Mouzz> In what channel could I best ask a question about the gdm face browser in combination with XDMCP?
[09:11] <Seveas-train> vivek312, then probably yes
[09:11] <bazhang> vivek312, not human
[09:11] <alex_joni> anything I've tried so far, and I always get: error: unknown filesystem
[09:11] <alex_joni> then it drops into grub rescue>
[09:11] <bidabrain> ll
[09:11] <vivek312> bazhang: ok..
[09:11] <IdleOne> vivek312: http://techie-buzz.com/how-to/how-to-connect-tata-photon-whizplug2surf-with-ubuntu-linux.html
[09:11] <vivek312> Seveas-train: do you know how to configure it?
[09:12] <Seveas-train> vivek312, I'm afraid not. IdleOne's link sounds promising though
[09:12] <Gnea> vivek312: see what IdleOne gave you
[09:12] <c3l> Seveas-train: for some reason I had it on both my desktop and notebook, maybe it came with dwm-tools I used for xmonad, anyways. where do I make the configurations?
[09:13] <gsergiu> I'll just save the page with save as and try to go through the instructions in ubuntu, if i have any problems I'll come back, and I'm sure I will
[09:13] <gsergiu> thanks for the help guys
[09:13] <vivek312> IdleOne: thankyou very much....!!!
[09:13] <IdleOne> vivek312: welcome, hope it works
[09:13] <Gnea> gsergiu: good luck
[09:14] <x0r_> After installing and updating my system was just hanging,  i reinstalled windows (had to anyhow) and now i'm booted from livecd ,  to reinstall grub(2) do I just need to use grub-setup w/ -d ??  I just need to rewrite the MBR ?
[09:14] <IdleOne> !grub2 | x0r_
[09:15] <boxbeatsy> hi, how can i pass a really long piece of text via command line argument without running into escaping issues?
[09:15] <vivek312> IdleOne: yes it works....!!!
[09:15] <boxbeatsy> is there an equivalent to """ in python?
[09:15] <Seveas-train> boxbeatsy, you don't :)
[09:15] <vivek312> IdleOne: thanks again....
[09:15] <IdleOne> sure thing
[09:15] <Seveas-train> pipe it to the commands stdin and make the command use it
[09:15] <boxbeatsy> Seveas-train: what's the alternative?
[09:15] <Seveas-train> commandline is not suitable for passing long strings
[09:15] <x0r_> IdleOne, thats not really helpfull atm ...
[09:16] <boxbeatsy> Seveas-train: i see, can you give me an example of how to use stdin when calling a python script?
[09:16] <boxbeatsy> i want to do python scriptname.py longstring
[09:16] <IdleOne> x0r_: see section 11 on that page
[09:16] <Seveas-train> boxbeatsy, where are you getting the long string from?
[09:16] <boxbeatsy> a http request
[09:17] <Seveas-train> and how are you getting it? Some cgi script?
[09:17] <boxbeatsy> o i meant php actually
[09:17] <boxbeatsy> so i want to do php scriptname.php longstring
[09:17] <boxbeatsy> and i'm getting the argument via the $_REQUESTS array
[09:18] <Seveas-train> boxbeatsy, ok, in your php script, use something like popen() to start the python process. Then you can use write() to write the data to it and read() to get output. But this is fairly offtopic here, try #php
[09:18] <Shish> putting the data in a file makes most sense imo
[09:19] <boxbeatsy> Seveas-train: ok thanks!
[09:19] <x0r_> IdleOne, ah i see .. so grub-setup -d ... is correct ,  but since i'm using a separate /boot partition and the fact that my root is lvm2 stripe make any difference ?
[09:19] <IdleOne> x0r_: heh, got me
[09:21] <ibrahim-kasem> I forgot my 10.04 login password what should I do ??
[09:21] <robertwall> ubottu: password | ibrahim-kasem
[09:21] <x0r_> IdleOne, yea not so common i guess ... thanks will just have to try it out I guess ... even before i wasn't getting any menus i think b/c it loads the fonts from /usr/share before it loaded lvm2 module ... which is kindof silly maybe i'll file a bug report
[09:21] <gsergiu> well, I'm back as I guessed, I followed the instructions on the page you directed me to but the problem is that when it asks me if my ethernet connection is listed there the one that my moden used isn't there, in windows I had a extra connection that was used for my modem
[09:23] <gsergiu> I have no ideea where to go from there, how do I add the one that's used to connect to the internet?
[09:23] <x0r_> well here goes ... hopefully works b/c this livecd takes like 20mins to load up fully ... doesn't make multiple tries very fun hah
[09:24] <gsergiu> I'm the guy with the speedtouch 330 modem problems , sudo pppoeconf works but I don't have the connection that was used by the modem
[09:25] <gsergiu> Gnea: are you still around?
[09:26] <Gnea> yup
[09:26] <gsergiu> well what's the problem, how do I get that 2nd connection to appear so I can connect through it?
[09:27] <Gnea> well, you need to get the first connection through eth0 setup
[09:27] <gsergiu> how do I go about at doing that , it's not included in the page you linked me to :)
[09:27] <etherealite> Gnea I tested out gpm like you said. Mouse was still slow.
[09:28] <Gnea> etherealite: okay, so the problem is definately with the mouse, or the way the protocol is trying to work
[09:28] <etherealite> okj
[09:28] <Gnea> gsergiu: well, did you put your info in when you ran sudo pppoeconf?
[09:29] <gsergiu> I could not put in my info... because I cannot connect through eth0
[09:29] <Gnea> uh
[09:29] <Gnea> it asks for your username and password
[09:29] <Gnea> that's your info - that has no bearing on whether or not you can connect or not - in fact, you can't connect without it
[09:30] <gsergiu> It doesn't because it can not connect through eth0, as I said in windows the drivers installed a 2'd (eth card) named "speedtouch ethernet adaptor)
[09:30] <Gnea> gsergiu: you have to go through each step of pppoeconf and fill it out properly.
[09:31] <etherealite> Gnea so if I know that the problem is with udev?
[09:31] <Gnea> etherealite: well, I wouldn't say udev is the problem, but likely the solution
[09:31] <dontput> hi guys.. is there anyway i could do. Like Ubuntu 10.04 is my Server and my station is Windows. Acts like ActiveDirectory on Windows 2008 Server
[09:32] <tree> hey guys...I have an acer 5930g..and the keyboard doesnt have numpad key..instead uses the fn key in combination with some other key...but the numeric numpad doesnt work..any ideas how to fix that ?
[09:32] <gsergiu> the basic procedure doesn't work for speedtouch 330 as I said, I could not get to introduce my name and password, when asked if I have my ethernet card detected I pressed yes and it said it can't connect through it
[09:33] <mick_> dontput, try OpenLDAP
[09:33] <Gnea> gsergiu: you're skipping ahead too many steps and going too fast. please to be slowing down and answering each question, one at a time, without assuming anything and trying to skip ahead.
[09:33] <etherealite> dontput yes there is a way
[09:33] <etherealite> dontput its not going to be easy
[09:34] <dontput> etherealite, :( well i could try.. theres no way to learn but to try it
[09:34] <gsergiu> please understand the problem is not on my side, it's the modem
[09:34] <Guest60820> hi Tree can i try t help you with your question
[09:34] <tree> Guest60820, pls try :)
[09:35] <Gnea> gsergiu: and please understand that I have used the speedtouch 330 modem before with linux and it worked fine.
[09:35] <etherealite> http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_&_LDAP
[09:35] <etherealite> dontput http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_&_LDAP
[09:35] <gsergiu> have you used it with 10.4?
[09:35] <Gnea> no, I used it with debian, this was years ago
[09:35] <Guest60820> Tree, try going to system > preferences > Keyboard for me - then click 'keyboard modle'
[09:35] <etherealite> dontput good luck and god bless
[09:35] <tree> Guest60820, so...some of the combination with the fn key work fine...the only problem is with the numeric and and the dot numpad
[09:36] <Gnea> gsergiu: what I recall was that I could get into the modem config and change it between pppoe or using dhcp
[09:36] <corni> Hey, my network manager applet disappeared from the panel. I've got a notification area set up there, and did a killall nm-applet and starting nm-applet in a terminal after that, but i still don't have it - Any ideas?
[09:36] <corni> it's Ubuntu 10.04, i should say
[09:36] <corni> updated yesterday
[09:36] <marekw2143> how to install mesa and opengl on ubuntu 10.04 LTS?
[09:36] <Gnea> gsergiu: I preferred using the pppoe method, but I tried dhcp just to see if it would work and then switched it back and got it to work
[09:36] <ilovefairuz> corni: run it from a terminal and check if there are any relevant messages
[09:36] <marekw2143> which packages?
[09:36] <gsergiu> well I don't know what to say, I don't get to the step where I'm asked to introduced my name/pass, when I press yes if my eth card is detected it's unable to connect through it
[09:36] <tree> Guest60820, done that...keyboard model is setup to acer laptop
[09:37] <Guest60820> tree > now click options
[09:37] <Gnea> gsergiu: and you're sure that you're using pppoe in windows?
[09:37] <corni> ilovefairuz: unfortunately there aren't any, except some stating that it wasn't shut down properly
[09:37] <gsergiu> 100%
[09:37] <Gnea> gsergiu: is eth0 the only card on the system?
[09:37] <gsergiu> in linux yes
[09:38] <gsergiu> in windows i have a 2nd one
[09:38] <Gnea> wait.
[09:38] <Gnea> a 2nd one?
[09:38] <tree> Guest60820, did that...
[09:38] <Gnea> why wouldn't it be in linux?
[09:38] <ilovefairuz> corni: did you verify that the notification area applet is present in your panel?
[09:38] <gsergiu> yes a 2nd one installed by the driver on the cd
[09:38] <Guest60820> in numeric keypad selection > what is the selected option
[09:38] <Gnea> no no no, I'm talking about a real, physical network interface card
[09:39] <ilovefairuz> gsergiu: pastebin: lshw -C network
[09:39] <gsergiu> as i said its named "Speedtouch ethernet adapter" and the network card one is called "realtek bla bla"
[09:39] <ilovefairuz> !paste > gsergiu
[09:39] <corni> ilovefairuz: yes, the speaker symbol is there
[09:39] <Gnea> ilovefairuz: no need
[09:39] <tree> Guest60820, default
[09:39] <erikwt> I installed flashplugin-installer, but how can i actually install flash now? flashplugin-installer is not a executable in my path (nor root's path)
[09:40] <gsergiu> I don't have two physical network interface cards gnea
[09:40] <Gnea> gsergiu: that's just the virtual interface that it uses with pppoe to connect - you'll likely get something like that working with ubuntu as well, but that software should already be installed to provide it
[09:40] <Guest60820> Tree > Thats OK > can you click on the button next to keyboard modle & make sure the right modle is selected  ?
[09:41] <gsergiu> I understand that, and with that problem I came here, the softwared needed for it is giving me trouble
[09:41] <robertwall> erikwt: flashplugin-installer downloads and installs flash during its setup. you don't need to do it after installation.
[09:41] <gsergiu> but you then just redirected me to that link
[09:41] <ilovefairuz> corni: right click on the panel, select add, select notification area and see what happens
[09:41] <Gnea> gsergiu: okay, so my question to you now is: when you went through pppoeconf, did it say anything else about other than eth0, like maybe tap0 or tun0?
[09:41] <gsergiu> no it didn't
[09:42] <Gnea> ok, one moment please
[09:42] <tree> Guest60820, keyboard model is acer laptop..it was default earlier...but the numeric numpad didnt worked also
[09:42] <corni> ilovefairuz: I get a second loudspeaker symbol...
[09:42] <gsergiu> ok, and thanks for the help
[09:42] <Guest60820> OK tree one second....
[09:42] <erikwt> robertwall, well, it still doesnt work :) even after i restarted firefox
[09:44] <corni> ilovefairuz: ah no
[09:44] <corni> ilovefairuz: I chose the wrong one, for a 'Notification Area' I get three horizontal lines with ~4px width
[09:45] <ilovefairuz> corni: try starting nm-applet now
[09:45] <corni> ilovefairuz: nothing...
[09:46] <ilovefairuz> corni: ok, you can reset that panel but that will erase any customizations you did to it, is that ok?
[09:46] <corni> ilovefairuz: yeah, i can redo them
[09:46] <ilovefairuz> !panels | corni
[09:48] <corni> ilovefairuz: now i got the default panel, but no network manager...

[09:50] <tree> it seem that the numeric numpad key works as arrows to navigate...but I want them to type numbers...how can I do that ?
[09:50] <ilovefairuz> corni: did it work before the icon disappeared?
[09:51] <gsergiu> Gnea: may I tell you how I tried to make it work and maybe we can go from there?
[09:51] <corni> ilovefairuz: I never had that icon, i installed the system yesterday, and yesterday it worked without icon

[09:52] <ilovefairuz> corni: so no way to connect to internet and install updates?
[09:52] <corni> ilovefairuz: no, but there's something weird in the dmesg output
[09:52] <ilovefairuz> corni: open a terminal and try this: sudo dhclient eth0

[09:53] <Snakkah> Hello. I just reinstalled Ubuntu, and it occurred to me as I was using Arch Linux... is there something similar to "yaourt" in Ubuntu? It's a package manager specifically for tarball files. It integrates with "pacman" (Arch's package manager). Is there a package manager for tarball files that would integrate with apt-get in Ubuntu?
[09:53] <corni> ilovefairuz: I'll try a restart, maybe that'll fix my kernel problems

[09:55] <Ak1ra> yes yes, i have read all of that
[09:55] <corni> ilovefairuz: A restart fixed my network problems, i just don't get the nm-applet for now, i think i can live with that, thanks

[09:58] <gsergiu> but the problem is one of the dependencies is python-gnome2-extras_2.19.1-3.1_i386.deb
[09:58] <ilovefairuz> bacon: pastebin the error messages
[09:59] <bacon> it's in french :s

[10:07] <blu[Work]> is it just a matter of ltsp-build-client?
[10:08] <tree> can anyone help me set my fn key right ?
[10:08] <gsergiu> gnea, is there any chance I can talk to you by pm to make it easier?
[10:08] <FrancoZuccotti> I have a question about 10.04LTS. I tried to install it on my laptop (IBM Thinkpad R51)  but I didn't succeeded as my screen got blank and stuck. I read tons of docs about this and I realized that my laptop is probably too old to support some new Ubuntu video features which seems to be vital for it to be installed. Hence...will I have to be forced to be tied to my 8.04LTS forever? How is it possible that Ubuntu now shares the same Windows
[10:09] <sftcr> ilovefairuz: thx alot, but i need a command line tool, because i have to do this automatically
[10:09] <ilovefairuz> bacon: the rules file is debian/rules

[10:13] <Snakkah> And some say it makes no difference.
[10:13] <gsergiu> Gnea I'm sorry for being a bother but are you still here? can I pm you so the discussion is easier to follow?
[10:13] <DannyButterman> ilovefairuz:I eventually found /dev/bus/usb/003/001 but still obextool is not browsing my files
[10:13] <bacon> ilovefairuz: yes, and?..
[10:13] <sftcr> ilovefairuz: thats the hint i was looking for. thanks!
[10:13] <bacon> ilovefairuz: sorry I did not understand what you pointed out

[10:16] <laeg> is there anyway to easily switch from the prop nvidia driver to an open source one, but roll back if i choose to?
[10:16] <DannyButterman> ilovefairuz: you mean changing '-t /dev/somedev' to '-t hci0' ? obextool will look for a file named this way on the root folder and won't find it as far as I understand
[10:16] <aperson> can anyone help me get vlc to support my logitec g11's multimedia keys? they work in totem

[10:20] <ilovefairuz> aperson: check around vlc settings for keyboard shortcuts/bindings, and change them to the multimedia keys
[10:22] <ilovefairuz> DannyButterman: try /dev/ttyACM0

[10:24] <ilovefairuz> aperson: clear them there and try again in vlc
[10:24] <DannyButterman> ilovefairuz: I don't have such a dev. Meanwhile, using -t hci0 worked. Obextool isn't ok to download the only file I see, but I think it's a phone issue. thank you !

[10:36] <tmpchanges> while the /tmp filesystem was mounted on /dev/sdaX and the whole system was up and running I made the mistake of zeroing the whole partition /dev/sdaX, thinking that erasing a /tmp folder would have no negative impact on the system.

[10:40] <JPT> right now, i used the "ao" type output thing and it caused some erros
[10:41] <JPT> *errors
[10:41] <tmpchanges> robertwall: I see... and how should blkid invocated? "sudo blkid /dev/sdaX"?
[10:41] <JPT> "cannot open libao device"
[10:41] <ilovefairuz> judgen: what are you trying to accomplish?
[10:41] <fourcolors> hi, is there an apt-get install for postgis on ubuntu 10.04?
[10:41] <acidflash> ilovefairuz: it did not install a script though, i compiled from source...
[10:41] <robertwall> tmpchanges: just "sudo blkid" is fine. It'll list the UUID for each partition..
[10:41] <bazhang> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-setup-mpd-with-pulseaudio-independent-on-x.html JPT and this?
[10:41] <tmpchanges> okay
[10:41] <robertwall> I think your way works too, though
[10:41] <acidflash> ilovefairuz: the apt-get version is outdated...
[10:42] <tmpchanges> robertwall: but can it list UUID of partitions which are not mounted as well?
[10:42] <robertwall> tmpchanges: yes
[10:42] <FrancoZuccotti> Hi all, I tried to install 10.04LTS on my laptop (IBM Thinkpad R51)  but I didn't succeeded as my screen got blank and stuck. I read tons of docs about this and I realized that my laptop is probably too old to support some new Ubuntu video features which seem to be vital for installation. Hence...will I have to be forced to be tied to my 8.04LTS forever? How is it possible that Ubuntu now shares the same Windows policy "if you want to r
[10:42] <judgen> ilovefairuz, i am trying to remove grub from the windows disk as windows wont boot now that my ubuntu disk broke down.
[10:42] <JPT> bazhang: i'll check that, thanks for the new ressource :)
[10:42] <bazhang> !info postgis | fourcolors
[10:42] <tmpchanges> robertwall: thank you very much. I am gonna try to do it and I will came back if I have a problem doing so.Thank you very much for your help!
[10:42] <ilovefairuz> judgen: what version of windows is that? you'll have to use the windows cd to restore the mbr
[10:43] <webczat> Hey.
[10:43] <fourcolors> bazhang: where did u find that stuff?
[10:43] <bazhang> fourcolors, a web search
[10:43] <ilovefairuz> FrancoZuccotti: have you tried the alternative installation cd?
[10:43] <fourcolors> bazhang: blah.. kk
[10:43] <webczat> How to manually make the ubuntu live pendrive?
[10:43] <judgen> ilovefairuz, Afaik it is possible to just clear the mbr, is that not possible?
[10:44] <bazhang> fourcolors, in this case a PM with ubottu actually
[10:44] <ilovefairuz> judgen: clearing it won't boot your windows instance
[10:44] <tmpchanges> the MBR can be restored by issuing from a ms-dos prompt the following command "fdisk /MBR". At least that restores windows' ability to boot, though it's not a command purists like
[10:44] <bazhang> fourcolors, /msg ubottu find postgis
[10:44] <FrancoZuccotti> ilovefairuz: yes, I tried it...
[10:44] <sacarlson> how do I make a font.ttf file available to Ghostscript.  I thought when I opened the font file and hit install that would be it but this postscript generator still didn't get it.
[10:44] <judgen> ilovefairuz, It did work on other systems, like BeOS and windows 9x.
[10:44] <ilovefairuz> FrancoZuccotti: and ?
[10:44] <tmpchanges> exit
[10:44] <bazhang> webczat, the reason not to use unetbootin or usb-creator is?
[10:45] <ilovefairuz> judgen: it won't work in your case
[10:45] <fourcolors> ok
[10:45] <ilovefairuz> judgen:  simply use the windows cd to restore the mbr
[10:45] <webczat> thereason to not use it is: how to use tools you don't have?
[10:45] <FrancoZuccotti> ilovefairuz: ..and I got my screen blanck and stuck as well.
[10:45] <judgen> ilovefairuz, Impossible as i do not have a windows cd
[10:45] <bazhang> webczat, download unetbootin then
[10:45] <ilovefairuz> FrancoZuccotti: during or after installation ?
[10:45] <webczat> bazhang: and install it on linux? :) unless it is possible?
[10:46] <FrancoZuccotti> ilovefairuz: during installation
[10:46] <webczat> ehh it is
[10:46] <bazhang> webczat, you on linux now or windows
[10:46] <webczat> bazhang: linux text console
[10:47] <FrancoZuccotti> however I'm doing well with my 8.04LTS so I think that....I will be tied with it until its end of support... :-)
[10:47] <administrator_> anyone?
[10:47] <ilovefairuz> FrancoZuccotti: try the  "safe graphics mode" (by pressing f4 in installation screen)
[10:48] <webczat> bazhang: and unetbootin is qt that disallows me from using it, cause i'm the gtk user that is blind in addition. but i'm more of a text console than gtk user
[10:48] <FrancoZuccotti> ilovefairuz: unfortunately I already tried it
[10:48] <battler> Could anyone help me with a kernel panic error?
[10:49] <FrancoZuccotti> ilovefairuz: thank you very much anyway, I'll be stuck with my old (and working) 8.04LTS :-)
[10:49] <ilovefairuz> FrancoZuccotti: try another distro
[10:49] <ilovefairuz> !details | battler
[10:49] <ilovefairuz> webczat: just use dd
[10:49] <Suit_Of_Sables> does anyone know of a media library app for videos? where one could sort by and edit meta data?
[10:50] <FrancoZuccotti> ilovefairuz: ...uhm...you're right: I'll do it for sure. Thank you, bye
[10:50] <Suit_Of_Sables> like guayadeque for movies? :)
[10:50] <webczat> ilovefairuz: can you directly dd ubuntu iso without changing it?
[10:50] <bazhang> webczat, nothing stops you other than aesthetics ? qt vs. gtk2?
[10:50] <JPT> okay, i guess i just have to double-check my mixer settings
[10:50] <webczat> bazhang: you didn't read the next part of the message
[10:50] <JPT> once kde stopped, i heard the music
[10:50] <JPT> thanks for you support :)
[10:51] <bazhang> webczat, sure I did
[10:51] <MSMANU> JPT: thanks
[10:51] <webczat> bazhang: that is more important
[10:51] <webczat> bazhang: qt is completely inaccessible
[10:52] <battler> Thank you ubottu. I was going to upgrade from ubuntu 9.1 (server) to 10.4. After a freeze during the install I rebooted. After that the only message I get is Kernel panic - not syncing:VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0). I downloaded the ubuntu image so I could perform a rescue. I was able to find my grub and I found out that i started using grub2 instead of 1. Now unfortunately I have no idea what to look for.
[10:52] <ilovefairuz> webczat: not sure if lucid supports that, but you could try
[10:52] <Simeon_H> how can I repair my system now that I've broken python completely?
[10:53] <ilovefairuz> battler: have you tried reinstalling grub ?
[10:53] <webczat> bazhang: and that completely disallows me from using qt in any program

[10:57] <battler> Mount the partition containing the Ubuntu installation. <-- this should be Linux LVM
[10:58] <Simeon_H> do you mean boot from a livecd and chroot my existing installation or chroot a livecd from my existing installation?

[11:00] <shomon> basically, error processing fglrx
[11:00] <shomon> does anyone know how to solve this on lucid? I upgraded from hoary which may be the reason. I hear this is a true pain to solve
[11:00] <garymc> HOw DO I find my PoE switch IP address that ive just plugged into my server?
[11:00] <bazhang> shomon, from hoary? or hardy
[11:00] <garymc> I know my server is using DHCP but how do I check ?
[11:01] <shomon> um... 8.06?
[11:01] <bazhang> 8.04?
[11:01] <shomon> that's the one bazhang !
[11:02] <shomon> sorry about my uselessness in remembering version numbers :)
[11:02] <ilovefairuz> battler: are you boot files on a different partition? perhaps just the "linux" one
[11:02] <ilovefairuz> your *
[11:02] <bazhang> shomon, start in recovery mode remove the driver try again?
[11:02] <shomon> remove the driver?
[11:02] <battler> ilovefairuz: At the end of the tut. I should mount my found partititions. I found these to with lvscan: /dev/perfect-linux/root
[11:02] <bazhang> fglrx
[11:02] <shomon> how do I start in recovery mode?
[11:03] <bazhang> shomon, hold shift at boot
[11:03] <shomon> and then run synaptic?
[11:03] <battler> thats the hdd where everything should be on. Should I mount that like mount /dev/perfect-linux/root /
[11:03] <ilovefairuz> battler: mount both linux partitions and check if /boot is on a separate one
[11:03] <bazhang> shomon, once you are into the desktop, then go to hardware drivers under system administration
[11:04] <shomon> ah okay
[11:04] <ilovefairuz> !sound > hassanz
[11:04] <webczat> bazhang: a question: if i don't want persistent mode, do i need to change anything in the bootloader config?
[11:05] <battler> ilovefairuz: the partition that i've found is the entire root. How can I mount this?
[11:05] <shomon> thanks bazhang

[11:14] <uatec> hi there
[11:14] <ilovefairuz> battler: there's a non-LVM partition on sda5, are you sure your installation is  on sda1?
[11:14] <uatec> i am trying to connect to my ubuntu machine via SFTP, but i'm getting "Authentication failed. Critical error. Could not connect to server." from filezilla
[11:15] <Professor_G> ok i plug my headphones in and thay dont automatically switch when pluged in i have to manualey activate headphones
[11:15] <uatec> where can i find out more about the problem? SFTP logs? security logs?
[11:15] <ilovefairuz> battler: you could mount it and browse the files: sudo mkdir /mnt/sda5 && sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/sda5
[11:15] <battler> i think sow. If i look at the start and end block size would'nt sda5 be to small?
[11:16] <battler> i will mount just to be sure
[11:16] <Professor_G> bazhang,  whats the solution
[11:16] <alejandro_> I'm getting a different error now though: a window appears from a "!" icon - "sorry, the package fglrx bla bla failed to install or upgrade"
[11:16] <Alchimista> how can i ad windows.forms to wine?
[11:16] <Professor_G>  bazhang ok i plug my headphones in and thay dont automatically switch when pluged in i have to manualey activate headphones
[11:16] <ilovefairuz> battler: to mount the one inside lvm use: sudo mkdir /mnt/b && sudo mount /dev/perfect-linux/root /mnt/b
[11:16] <ilovefairuz> battler: browse both directories and check when one has your installation
[11:16] <bazhang> Professor_G, so they work?
[11:17] <battler> sda5 is empty
[11:17] <fourcolors> could someone help me compile postgis? Im getting this error when trying to compile when I run "make" http://pastie.org/1099620
[11:17] <Professor_G> bazhang,  when i manualy select analog headphones yes. but i want them to automatically switch on when connectes
[11:17] <battler> i'm going to try the root now
[11:17] <fourcolors> I don't know what is wrong or why it's not working
[11:18] <bazhang> fourcolors, why compile when its in the repos
[11:18] <battler> Ilovefairuz: I;ve mounted both, but both dirs are empty:S
[11:18] <uatec> Alchimista, download winetricks. It is basically an installer for a whole bunch of windows components for wine.
[11:18] <uatec> including .net 2.0
[11:19] <Alchimista> uatec: i already have it :S
[11:19] <Deputaats_> hi. I downloaded git with git://... from their homepage. But now in that newly created git dir I have bunch of files. I'm accessing my ubuntu server through SSH. But I'm windows user. So - what to do next?
[11:19] <uatec> and it hasn't installed System.Windows.Forms.dll?
[11:19] <uatec> well in that case it's beyond me. sorry
[11:19] <fourcolors> bazhang: does the repo have the latest version? The problem was when I installed postGIS and tried to find "geography_columns" when creating my postgis template database it wasn't there... so i figured the ubuntu package was out of date
[11:19] <Alchimista> uatec: nops, even with it installed, i have no forms :S

[11:20] <fourcolors> bazhang: not sure 1.4 has geography support :(
[11:21] <battler> ilovefairuz: Am i screwed..?
[11:21] <uatec> gimpy283, you can press alt+f1 to get to a console. from there you can log in and change the resolution in the X config
[11:22] <uatec> somebody else will have to tell you where the X config is though :S
[11:22] <fourcolors> bazhang: why might this not be compiling do you know what the cause might be
[11:22] <gimpy283> uatec: As mentioned, there is no X, this is just a stock ubuntu-server.
[11:23] <uatec> without x installed i would have thought it would just sit at the normal 80x25 resolution... that's weird :S
