[19:15] <b4rbz> That's what i did, Google.  I used it for 2 years with no problem
[19:15] <extremedevilz> wow
[19:15] <extremedevilz> Ubuntu is really awesome
[19:15] <headkase314> GoogleGuy→ that is my setup too.  Laptop, dual-boot except I have Vista for Windows.
[19:15] <ChogyDan> DAGr8: have you tried using the tools?
[19:15] <progre55> ChogyDan: but now as it's not properly installed, I cant install mysql-server nor remove it =) it says: "debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable". Any suggestions, please?
[19:15] <extremedevilz> :D fcuk windows
[19:15] <DAGr8> ChogyDan im nub no idea where these are ?
[19:15] <IdleOne> !language | extremedevilz
[19:15] <b4rbz> I'm kind of liking Linux Mint more then Ubuntu
[19:16] <extremedevilz> sorry I was happy
[19:16] <var_> wow wine has a VERY slow framerate :\
[19:16] <b4rbz> Even though Ubuntu is still really awesome
[19:16] <ShakeyJake> i got the security check wrong and yet was granted access, awesome system there guys
[19:16] <JackStoner> does anyone know how to remove all gnome-panels???
[19:16] <extremedevilz> Ubuntu really rocks
[19:16] <ChogyDan> DAGr8: Sys > Admin > Nvidia settings
[19:16] <dunas> wickedSA, darn. :( If only I didn't want to play Starcraft!
[19:16] <GoogleGuy> b4rbz great thanks... headkase314 ok so it shouldn't be problematic then. I was just wondering if the 64-bit was not stable or something. I've heard Ubuntu 10 had some issues with the graphical installation
[19:16] <progre55> extremedevilz: sure it does =)
[19:16] <blackshell> can info be used as alternative to man command?
[19:16] <extremedevilz> Im using it the first time
[19:16] <wickedSA> dunas: you can deal with it, its just a few extra steps
[19:16] <blackshell> can "info" be used as alternative to man command?
[19:16] <headkase314> JackStoner→ you must have a minimum of one panel but you can set that one required panel to be auto-hidden.  Right-click on it and choose Properties.
[19:16] <extremedevilz> I manage to install xchat,vlc,wine
[19:16] <wickedSA> dunas: there are many many docs on how to do it
[19:16] <b4rbz> Np, Google
[19:16] <extremedevilz> xD
[19:16] <IdleOne> blackshell: if you read the wiki page correctly, yes
[19:17] <DAGr8> ChogyDan no nvidia software installed , obviously thats my prob so I suppose Ill go get the drivers heh
[19:17] <headkase314> GoogleGuy→ my webcam actually didn't work with 32-bit and does with 64-bit.  However I haven't been able to get the microphone to work properly with either.
[19:17] <JackStoner> headkase314, so there's no way to completely remove it?? i once  hid it with compiz screenlet thingy but i forgot how to now
[19:17] <b4rbz> Hey guys I just want to ask you guys a question.  How much space is in your Linux partition?
[19:17] <ChogyDan> DAGr8: oh, then there is Sys > Prefs > Monitors
[19:17] <progre55> ChogyDan: oh, I did this and it helped "sudo fuser -vki /var/cache/debconf/config.dat"  :)
[19:17] <progre55> it removed the lock
[19:18] <ChogyDan> progre55: hmmm, yeah, i don't know
[19:18] <JackStoner> b4rbz, you want to know how much space u have?? df -h on the terminal
[19:18] <headkase314> JackStoner→ as far as I am aware you must have one panel, you can remove the others but when you get to that last panel the option to remove is not accessible.
[19:18] <peaces> i created a user with useradd, but /etc/profile is not sourced for the new user. i'm not sure whether it's interactive or login shell, i log in via ssh as root and su to the user.
[19:18]  * extremedevilz wonders is there a windows live messenger mimic
[19:18] <JackStoner> headkase314, ok thanks...
[19:18] <b4rbz> No I know how much I have.  I just want to know how much space you guys put
[19:18] <extremedevilz> but everyone uses facebook chat now
[19:18] <peaces> how can i get /etc/profile automatically sourced to all users?
[19:18] <GoogleGuy> headkase314 What latop are using if you dont mind me asking. I'm on an HP G60 that this will be installed on. I haven't seen too many issues on the forums with the hardware yet, but hopefully this will go smoothley
[19:18] <DAGr8> ChogyDan thx thats what I needed , Im runin vmware and there was asetting there too so im all set now :)
[19:18] <ChogyDan> progre55: one suggestion was to apt-get install -f
[19:18] <JackStoner> b4rbz, some of us dont have 1 linux partition
[19:19] <b4rbz> Ohh
[19:19] <Badegakk> I quess its not posible
[19:19] <var_> from the terminal window
[19:19] <Antonis> extremedevilz, try emesene
[19:19] <b4rbz> well do you think 25gb is too little?
[19:19] <DAGr8> ChogyDan wanted 16:9 got it now :P
[19:19] <JackStoner> b4rbz, is this your first time installing??
[19:19] <var_> if im in the terminal windows how do i move complete files to my desktop?
[19:19] <b4rbz> No
[19:19] <progre55> ChogyDan: thanks man, appreciate
[19:19] <b4rbz> I'm actually not even using Ubuntu.  I'm on Linux Mint
[19:19] <JackStoner> b4rbz, for a desktop install its enough i guess
[19:19] <headkase314> GoogleGuy→ I'm using an Acer Aspire 5100.  64-bit 1.8Ghz Turion Dual-Core with 100GB HD, Ati Xpress 1100 video, 1GB RAM.  Everything works except microphone and I had to fiddle with the sound before it worked properly.
[19:20] <b4rbz> I just like the Ubuntu community a little more than Mints lol
[19:20] <bobstro> b4rbz, are you creating separate partitions for /tmp, /home etc.?
[19:20] <Bayles> b4rbz: free -h
[19:20] <Bayles> b4rbz: free -m or -g
[19:20] <b4rbz> No, I used a wubi type thing.  I'm dual booting
[19:20] <sacarlson> Raptors: I spent some time looking and find nothing but people that are still tring sorry.
[19:20] <b4rbz> I used mint2win, which is pretty much wubi
[19:20] <bobstro> b4rbz, 20G is plenty, but if you do something like master a dvd, you can fill /tmp up pretty quick.
[19:21] <GoogleGuy> headkase314 OK, so similar hardware then. I'll give the dual boot a try. Thanks a lot everyone. You were all very helpful. Have a great day, bbl
[19:21] <bobstro> b4rbz, you can set up wubi to use your win partition for extra space though.
[19:21] <b4rbz> The max space you could put for wubi is 30gb, so I think 25gb is going to last a while
[19:21] <extremedevilz> ok guys how do I install my wireless in ubuntu
[19:22] <trece8> hi, how do I print a pdf file in a paper size bigger than A4, splitted in several A4 pages so it gets printed in the original scale?
[19:22] <sacarlson> extremedevilz:  plug it in is what I do
[19:22] <jimcooncat> extremedevilz: we need more details. Are you adding wireless hardware?
[19:22] <extremedevilz> I am adding my wireless router
[19:23] <extremedevilz> so I can use my laptop around my house
[19:23] <jak-install> hello all, so I'm having some problems booting my system without being attached to a monitor, if i have it attached to my KVM and not selected when it boots, the gdm doesn't boot and it goes into low graphics mode and cannot be booted at all... any ideas how to basically run this machine headless and I'll VNC into it to use it?
[19:23] <extremedevilz> and not stuck to my lan connection
[19:23] <b4rbz> Is it working for you, Extreme?
[19:23] <b4rbz> are your drivers working?
[19:23] <maxflax> Can I set color temperature in xorg.conf? or where do I set if for ATI card?
[19:23] <headkase314> extremedevilz→ plug into a wired connection to get internet, run update manager and check for updates and install all offered.  If you need to reboot, do that.  Go to System > Administration > Hardware Drivers and hope your wireless driver is there.
[19:23] <extremedevilz> that pretty :S
[19:24] <jak-install> can anybody help me write an xorg.conf for a headless box?
[19:24] <progre55> hmm.. weird.. when installing mysql-server-5.1 from the lucid repos, it comes to the stage where it says "Setting up mysql-server-5.1 (5.1.41-3ubuntu12.6)" and freezes. Any suggestions, please?
[19:24] <jimcooncat> jak-install: you'd use the old vncserver software ... I'll look up the package name
[19:24] <JoshuaL> what is the name of the standard remote desktop server in ubuntu? i removed it and cant remember its name :p
[19:25] <extremedevilz> nice it found my wireless network
[19:25] <extremedevilz> LMAO
[19:25] <jak-install> vin
[19:25] <extremedevilz> just by switching on the button
[19:25] <sacarlson> jak-install: is that what is needed?
[19:25] <jak-install> vino*
[19:25] <JoshuaL> ty jak-install
[19:25] <JackStoner> JoshuaL, i think its remote desktop viewer
[19:25] <maxflax> jak-install : no one here knows nothing about xorg.conf - thats my experience
[19:25] <JoshuaL> JackStoner, thats the viewer, i ment server :p
[19:25] <b4rbz> They should make it so Ubuntu comes with flash
[19:26] <b4rbz> Mint does
[19:26] <JackStoner> JoshuaL, my bad :P
[19:26] <JoshuaL> JackStoner, but as jak-install said it was vino :)
[19:26] <jak-install> sacarlson: no its not, it runs just fine when I have a monitor plugged in... even with a kvm it doesn't boot
[19:26] <jimcooncat> jak-install: tightvncserver
[19:26] <JackStoner> JoshuaL, yaaay!!!
[19:26] <jak-install> jimcooncat: that will work? how should I run it i have to ssh to the box?
[19:27] <bobstro> jimcooncat, doesn't he have to be up in X for vnc?
[19:27] <jimcooncat> jak-install: you don't have to ssh to the box if it's on a local connection -- but know it's not all that secure by itself
[19:27] <trece8> hi, how do I print a pdf file in a paper size bigger than A4, splitted in several A4 pages so it gets printed in the original scale?
[19:27] <jak-install> maxflax: yea i don't know anything about it either, and I tried to lookup how to make one and it was no fun
[19:27] <sacarlson> jak-install: I know you can make a headless system the only complaint I have seen is people were stuck with some res
[19:27] <trece8> I mean that the original document is in a paper size bigger than A4
[19:27] <jimcooncat> bobstro: he has to have X installed, but not necessarily working on his local display
[19:28] <bobstro> jimcooncat, yes, but it's not booting without a screen is what i'm understanding. so can he get to vnc then?
[19:28] <jak-install> sacarlson: Its just going to be a box for long running tasks, i'de do it from terminal but the program is gui only
[19:28] <b4rbz> Is there a Dreamweaver alternative for Linux?
[19:28] <jak-install> sacarlson: so how do i do it? because i can't get it to run at all
[19:28] <JoshuaL> komposer
[19:28] <sacarlson> jak-install: would something like FreeNX work?
[19:28] <jimcooncat> bobstro: it runs the display internally, not showing on the monitor
[19:28] <jak-install> bobstro: can ssh though, it goes up far enough
[19:29] <b4rbz> wow kompozer looks really good
[19:29] <maxflax> jak-install - why do need xorg.conf when running with no screen?
[19:29] <bobstro> jimcooncat, ok. just wondering about the boot bit. :)
[19:29] <maxflax> jak-install - do u have a gnome install on it anyway?
[19:29] <roland> hello all
[19:30] <sacarlson> jak-install: also you can run gui applications on ssh
[19:30] <bobstro> jak-install:  not to confuse things, but is your primary problem that you can't boot without a display?
[19:30] <sacarlson> jak-install: can't get what application to run at all?
[19:30] <roland> what can I do, if I have 2 UbuntuOne accounts, and I want to remove 1 of them?!
[19:30] <jak-install> sacarlson: maybe... i don't understand why it gets stuck though and asks that... i thought there was a way to do it i saw a ticket in the system but i lost it
[19:30] <roland> !iu
[19:30] <roland> !ubuntuone
[19:30] <Pici> roland: Best to ask in their channel: #ubuntuone
[19:31] <jak-install> maxflax: because i want to be able to vnc to it, and run long running tasks on it
[19:31] <roland> tx Pici
[19:31] <jak-install> maxflax: yea i do have gnome on it... and it would all work fine but gnome tries to look for a monitor and says oh no you don't have one I'm going to ask you what to do and no matter what you pick never boot
[19:31] <jak-install> bobstro: yes
[19:31] <maxflax> jak-install - why not just install server with no X and just SSH to it and run task that way
[19:32] <jak-install> sacarlson: its an applicatation that only has a gui, can't do over ssh
[19:32] <bobstro> jak-install:  or disable gdm to get booted.
[19:32] <jak-install> maxflax: no terminal interface
[19:32] <second> hi
[19:32] <second> how do I reinstall the kernel ?
[19:32] <maxflax> jak-install - ok
[19:32] <jak-install> bobstro it boots far enough that I can ssh, so maybe I phrased it wrong, it books but gdm wont start
[19:32] <second> I think it may have been altered, I want a fresh kernel
[19:33] <sacarlson> jak-install: well you can run gui on ssh -x  but keeping it running if you logout I'm not sure
[19:33] <bobstro> jak-install:  yeah, i'm thinking just disabling gdm from starting so the headless box comes up to a login prompt. then you can futz with remote X stuff once you can actually get to it.
[19:33] <second> :/
[19:33] <surial> I've got an Amazon AWS server set up the way I want it. Unfortunately, the disk size is far too large. I'm guessing that the way to move forward from here is to link a new harddisk into this instance, then copy everything on this disk to the other one, and then create a new boot AMI from there. However, if I just cp all files over I'm sure that won't do what I want (aren't there rules about where /boot and such must be located, also, permissions).
[19:33] <surial> So, how do I make a bit-by-bit copy from one harddisk to the other so that the other disk can be used for booting, but the other disk is smaller?
[19:33] <surial> I don't think dd will work in that case either.
[19:34] <jak-install> sacarlson and bobstro thats the problem though is once i disconnect how to i keep it running, and i don't know how to start it from command line
[19:34] <extremedevilz> humm guys I cant use wine on a exe file
[19:34] <extremedevilz> marked as dangerous
[19:34] <second> HOW DO I INSTALL THE KERNEL
[19:34] <wickedSA> oy
[19:34] <second> apt-get install <what?>
[19:34] <bobstro> jak-install:  vnc runs on a dummy display. you can reconnect and resume. it's like windows terminal services in a way.
[19:34] <bobstro> jak-install:  i do not recall details of headless though!
[19:34] <jak-install> bobstro so how i start the service?
[19:35] <Nanobot> What's the most unobtrusive way to downgrade Java to 1.6.17?
[19:35] <jimcooncat> jak-install: I think the tightvncserver will work for you well, then; I have a box that I use it headless on that just has a couple of virtualbox instances on it.
[19:35] <second> -_-
[19:35] <Pici> second: Your kernel is already installed.
[19:35] <maxflax> jak-install : have u seen this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1292212
[19:35] <extremedevilz> ~pastie
[19:35] <bobstro> jak-install:  i understand what you're saying. there is no X from which to launch vncserver.
[19:35] <second> Pici: how do I reinstall it :/
[19:35] <IdleOne> !paste > extremedevilz
[19:35] <second> Pici: I want to redownload it an replace it
[19:35] <ost2life> beginner question time about xbmc on ubuntu: Can I set things up so that XBMC loads on log in (NOT as an XBMC session) in a similar way to the start up folder in windows?
[19:36] <glebihan> jak-install: didn't follow from start, but you generate a fresh xorg.conf using "X -configure"
[19:36] <bobstro> jak-install:  i do not recall the details, and my experience is YEARS old anyhow. i was focusing on getting it booted without a display 1st.
[19:36] <ice799> Are there any wikis/guides/etc that explain how to use xen3.3 with 10.04? All the stuff I've come across from googling has been for older versions of Ubuntu and I'm not sure it is still relevant. Any hints?
[19:36] <nemo> Apparently the Mint update includes a severity level - is there any way to get that in Ubuntu? or is that a Mint "extra"
[19:36] <second> Pici: the kernel image that was in /boot got deleted, I need to reinstall it
[19:36] <Pici> second: Assuming you're running a standard desktop install: sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-generic
[19:36] <trism> ost2life: add it to System/Preferences/Startup Applications
[19:36] <jak-install> maxflax it worked fine in 9.10, something broke in 8.04
[19:36] <jak-install> er 10.04
[19:36] <Raptors> Hoe do you do souce management in linux openoffice?
[19:36] <Raptors> how*
[19:36] <jak-install> jimcooncat so how i start the service
[19:36] <second> Pici: thanks ... finally someone just gave me the short answer
[19:37] <jak-install> bobstro yea exactly
[19:37] <ost2life> trism: ok...I actually don't know why I didn't think of that! I knew it'd be something obvious that'd make me look silly. :) Thanks
[19:37] <jak-install> glebihan tried that and with monitor gdm wouldn't finish boot
[19:37] <jak-install> bobstro, yea im sorry it does boot, the gdm doesn't sorry i misphrased it
[19:37] <glebihan> jak-install: ok, I suppose you also tried failsafe mode ?
[19:38] <robotti^> hello! I have Hauppauge Nova DVB-T PCI card, and I installed it on my computer. It shows when I test it with lspci command. But Ubuntu does not load modules. Or something like that?
[19:38] <jak-install> glebihan yes, but that would bring me back to the same dialog saying we can't find your monitor (even though at that point the monitor was plugged in)
[19:38] <nemo> robotti^: you're missing the driver you mean?
[19:38] <bobstro> jak-install:  no problem. i assume you do want a login prompt, so suggestion still applies! a quick google makes me think vnc as a service works for what you want for the remote access. no firsthand experience with it in years myself.
[19:38] <robotti^> nemo: should it be automatic? load correct modules?
[19:39] <glebihan> jak-install: do you get to start a basic X session (without gnome) ?
[19:39] <jak-install> bobstro but no x server running to launch it from
[19:39] <robotti^> nemo: What I should do?
[19:39] <jak-install> glebihan how do i do that?
[19:39] <nemo> robotti^: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Hauppauge_WinTV_Nova-T_PCI - looks like there is linux support
[19:39] <extremedevilz> >.<
[19:39] <glebihan> jak-install: xinit /usr/bin/xterm
[19:39] <nemo> robotti^: would be interesting to see what is in dmesg - whether there are any errors
[19:39] <glebihan> jak-install: for example
[19:40] <jimcooncat> jak-install: tightvncserver -nolisten tcp :1
[19:40] <dwayne> I upgraded to 10.04 today and my system no longer boots.  The last thing I see is "Boot from hd(0,0) starting up..." and then the screen stays black.  For an instance I think I see "unsupported controller" before the black screen.  Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
[19:40] <extremedevilz> http://pastie.org/private/rat09egqunbsyncjw7bsg < Need help
[19:40] <bobstro> jak-install:  this summarizes what i'm trying to say - http://stephenjungels.com/jungels.net/articles/headless-dual-boot.html
[19:40] <jak-install> glebihan im lost... so i run both of those commands?
[19:40] <jimcooncat> jak-install: you should read the tightvncserver section of: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC/Servers
[19:40] <nemo> robotti^: looks like there is ubuntu support... reading http://parker1.co.uk/mythtv_ubuntu.php
[19:40] <glebihan> jak-install: I only gave you one
[19:40] <sacarlson> jak-install: well you can test with ssh -X yourremoteip  then run firefox and see if it works
[19:41] <nemo> robotti^: oooh. this looks annoying http://parker1.co.uk/mythtv_novafw.php
[19:41] <jak-install> glebihan, yea sorry the other one was from someobye else
[19:41] <robotti^> nemo: Yes I know. There is linux support. Because I have used that card on my Ubuntu server. For streaming television on my lan.
[19:41] <nemo> robotti^: hm. possibly just for older ones though
[19:41] <maxflax> Anyone know about where graphic settings is stored for gfx card?
[19:41] <epp> hey
[19:41] <robotti^> nemo: but it does not work now on my Ubuntu desktop
[19:41] <extremedevilz> can someone slove my error ?
[19:41] <extremedevilz> :)
[19:42] <jak-install> sacralson ok
[19:42] <bobstro> extremedevilz:  looks like it's a windows executable
[19:42] <jak-install> glebihan trying it now
[19:42] <nemo> robotti^: well, check dmesg (or /var/log/messages)
[19:42] <jak-install> bobstro ok i'll read that
[19:42] <extremedevilz> bobstro, it is that why I have WINE Installed
[19:42] <extremedevilz> I want to know how I can use wine to run it

[19:43] <hawodi> Hello. I need to install an app that requires python 2.5 but I have 2.6 installed. I have already installed python 2.6 but the app still can't find see it. what do I do please?
[19:43] <extremedevilz> glebihan, what does that do ?
[19:43] <glebihan> extremedevilz: it makes the file executable, so it should work afterwards
[19:43] <sacarlson> jak-install: check this out http://www.linuxjournal.com/video/access-remote-gui-programs-using-ssh-forwarding
[19:43] <extremedevilz> the command you gave me does not work
[19:44] <bobstro> jak-install:  look like he did it last year - http://scotttyee.com/blog/2009/12/09/linux-headless-ubuntu-with-vnc/
[19:44] <maxflax> Anyone know about where graphic settings is stored for gfx card?
[19:44] <glebihan> extremedevilz: what error do you get ?
[19:44] <jimcooncat> hawodi: there must be some way to set an environment variable to tell it which python to use
[19:44] <epp> I control my music by typing in a web adress like this <IP_ADDRESS>:2020?remote.php?db=AUDIO_DB&path=\\SERVER1\MediaDrive\music\audio1.mp3. is there a way to set it up so when it recieves \\"computername\path\to.mp3" it will go to a network drive?
[19:44] <estragib> Andre_Gondim: find the ubuntu marketing specs online, or edit the img in gimp and get the color with the color fetcher tool
[19:44] <epp> i dont have the source to change it so i can mount folders
[19:45] <extremedevilz> nvm slove
[19:45] <Andre_Gondim> thanks esteeven
[19:45] <Pici> Andre_Gondim: Presumably its somewhere on http://design.canonical.com/ Any further questions should probably go to #ubuntu-artwork
[19:45] <Andre_Gondim> estragib, thanks
[19:45] <jak-install> sacralson ok
[19:45] <jak-install> bobstro yea this problem only occurs in 10.04
[19:45] <hawodi> jimconcat: environment variable to tell the path of the python 2. 5?
[19:45] <bobstro> jak-install:  ok, sorry. i'll step out now.
[19:46] <glebihan> jak-install: did running xinit work ?
[19:48] <ChogyDan> maxflax: xorg.conf
[19:48] <jomajer> anyone know if we can do anything about a hijacked mirror page in ubuntu's launchpad ? (its our mirror - but someone else opened up a page for it)
[19:49] <jimcooncat> hawodi: python2.5 /usr/local/bin/yourscript.py
[19:49] <bsod1> how can I change mouse scroll speed?
[19:49] <sacarlson> jak-install: I just read bobstro: it looks good too
[19:50] <jimcooncat> hawodi: that just runs it directly
[19:50] <maxflax> ChogyDan - have search that one, but the settings I do in Catalyst isn't there. Im looking for color temperature, gamma ect
[19:50] <hawodi> jimconcat:thanks. will look at it.
[19:51] <Bullterd> Evening All.
[19:51] <zxvff> anyone here have experience configuring ldap authentication with ubuntu?
[19:51] <Bullterd> There are loads of streaming media recorders available for PC (Where you install the software & it listens and detects the stream URL when you goto the web page, then downloads it for you)
[19:51] <Bullterd> does anyone know of such software for linux?
[19:52] <jumar> well, if my ubuntu one account gets just later deleted its okay... i did the steps on the help site, it just angers me that things are not done immaediatly'
[19:52] <Priswell> I was getting an error in Evolution saying that it couldn't read my addressbook. So, I went to the forums to find a solution, it said to delete the gconf files in Evolution. and then reboot. When I did that I was unable to login. I am using Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit. Help?
[19:52] <jumar> so anyone? whats up with ubuntu one?
[19:52] <epp> is there a way to add \\ windows like functionality to ubuntu?
[19:53] <sacarlson> Bullterd: I was recording some music before from a web radio site on ubuntu before.
[19:53] <maxflax> It bothers me that no one in the whole world seems to know where settings like gamma, color temp and ect are stored. It's not in the file you thought it would be in ie xorg.conf
[19:53] <bobstro> epp:  you mean UNC access to windows services?
[19:53] <jimcooncat> epp, please describe what you need
[19:53] <Scunizi> Bullterd: your built in Rhythmbox should allow streaming.. Amorak does as well.. If you're looking at capturing the stream to your computer check out streamripper
[19:53] <zxvff> if anyone is familiar with LDAP auth on ubuntu, I have it working for SSH users (Home dirs are created, clients auth against ldap) bhowever when someone tries to log on to gnome, there is an error and after the screen blinks ac ouple times it's back ot the login screen
[19:53] <hawodi> jimconcat: the app is not a python app. its a .deb package.
[19:53] <zxvff> really i can only login as root
[19:53] <elitexray> How do I login root to mount cd?
[19:53] <Bullterd> The issue is that I know this stream is rtmp not a shoutcast stream
[19:54] <Bullterd> if this was shoutcast I would have done this about 3 hours ago :p
[19:54] <glebihan> maxflax: you're quite right, since xorg.conf is not used by default, it seems that nobody really knows where the configuration is stored
[19:54] <Scunizi> elitexray: use sudo with the command
[19:54] <Semitones> how do I make a folder into a file without compressing it?
[19:54] <glebihan> elitexray: just use "sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom"
[19:54] <ikonia> Semitones: what ?
[19:54] <elitexray> thanks i'll try that
[19:55] <Semitones> ikonia, I basically want to make a .zip file except not use compression
[19:55] <Semitones> so is that .bz, .tar, what?
[19:55] <maxflax> glebihan - yes, seems like thats the case. buggs me tons thou and it's almost becomming an obession to find out
[19:55] <ikonia> Semitones: tar
[19:55] <ikonia> Semitones: bz is compressed
[19:55] <sacarlson> Bullterd: maybe streamripper  can do it
[19:56] <bobstro> maxflax:  gnome-color-chooser has some color settings
[19:56] <Semitones> kk thanks :)
[19:56] <glebihan> maxflax: same thing for me, get so many questions about that, never able to answer...
[19:56] <extremedevilz> <3 Ubuntu
[19:56] <bobstro> maxflax:  you mean for entire display, not just elements, right?
[19:57] <elitexray> glehbihan , if i were to install the setup.exe, how would i do that?
[19:57] <Scunizi> Bullterd: then check out VLC .. it will do most anything.. including video streaming.
[19:57] <elitexray> And with using wine
[19:57] <Semitones> ikonia, (I was making a DVD but it kept saying it couldn't make all filenames windows compatible, so I'm just putting the folder in a tar)
[19:57] <jimcooncat> zxvff: I'm not really familiar, but can you go to a login terminal (ctrl-alt-F1) and log in as a user from there?
[19:57] <glebihan> bobstro: yes maxflax is talking about display configuration
[19:57] <zxvff> jimcooncat: yep, with no problems
[19:57] <extremedevilz> guys how can I remove a program that dont want to be removed at all
[19:57] <maxflax> bobstro - I can do the settings in catalyst but sinces it looses the setting upon reboot I feel the need to know where it's stored
[19:58] <extremedevilz> seems they say package fail while removing
[19:58] <epp> bobstro, jimcooncat i want to be able to tell consol to look at a path like "vlc \\EVAN-PC\Media Drive M\Music\Taurine.mp3"
[19:58] <epp> and go to a network drive on my other pc
[19:58] <zxvff> jimcooncat: it only complains when i try to login to gnome. i'm trying an update to 10.4 right now
[19:58] <glebihan> elitexray: what do you mean "install the setup.exe", running it I guess ?
[19:58] <VintageRitz> #
[19:58] <bobstro> glebihan:  isn't that the sort of stuff that ubuntu is hiding from users?
[19:58] <zxvff> it just sucks becuase if i have ot update to 10.4 it means i have to update every user in our organization
[19:58] <glebihan> bobstro: well, it looks like that for some time yes
[19:58] <elitexray> "sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom   runs my cd rom but did not install the file from it
[19:59] <glebihan> elitexray: so it's a Windows program you want to run ?
[19:59] <elitexray> yeah I'm trying to install Starcraft
[19:59] <bobstro> glebihan:  hard enough just to change basic colors on the desktop sometime.
[19:59] <elitexray> on wine
[19:59] <_2easy> maybe now will there be somebody who knows where the file, which keeps the info that, if the external monitor is connected to VGA port or not, is?
[19:59] <Priswell> I was getting an error in Evolution saying that it couldn't read my addressbook. So, I went to the forums to find a solution, it said to delete the gconf files in Evolution. and then reboot. When I did that I was unable to login. I am using Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit. Help?
[19:59] <var_> how do i find out were my cdrom is mounted?
[19:59] <glebihan> elitexray: well, then run "wine /media/cdrom/setup.exe", but I cannot guarantee it'll work
[19:59] <elitexray> I tried it
[20:00] <_2easy> var_: df
[20:00] <Priswell> var_: Try under /media
[20:00] <var_> df?
[20:00] <glebihan> elitexray: what happened ?
[20:00] <var_> i did :\
[20:00] <jimcooncat> zxvff: something funky with gdm I'd say. Check out the gdm section of http://ldots.org/ldap/
[20:00] <elitexray> wine cannot find
[20:00] <var_> media/cdrom it said unable to locate cd rom
[20:00] <zxvff> cool thanks jimcooncat i'll check it out
[20:00] <_2easy> anyone? please?
[20:01] <zxvff> ah, i hadn't modified any GDM files. this is a good guide jimcooncat i ihadn't seen this, thank you
[20:01] <elitexray> i also tried sudo wine /media/cdrom/setup.exe , did not work either
[20:01] <glebihan> elitexray: could you pastebin the exact error message ?
[20:01] <_2easy> var_: try to remount it manually
[20:01] <elitexray> can i get the pastebin code?
[20:01] <jimcooncat> zxvff: ymmv; this guide isn't ubuntu-specific
[20:01] <sacarlson> elitexray: if you want to run windows apps in ubuntu you should install virtualbox and run windows in it.
[20:01] <ajay> hi, i am using ubuntu 10.04 ,in empathy getting error for Gtalk as network error
[20:02] <_2easy> var_: df is a console command look for "mounted on" section, the lat one
[20:02] <glebihan> !paste | elitexray
[20:03] <extremedevilz> good night guys
[20:03] <extremedevilz> see ya
[20:03] <estragib> _2easy: do you need a file/have you tried xrandr?
[20:03] <extremedevilz> 3:03am here
[20:03] <extremedevilz> enough of ubuntu :) will play with it tomorrow
[20:03] <extremedevilz> xD
[20:03] <extremedevilz> thanks and bye
[20:04] <_2easy> estragib: i've tried, but i want to make script in ruby using regex which i know, not bash, grep and so on.
[20:04] <din> i have a vmware server running ubuntu. i extended a hard drive in esx, but i can't get ubuntu to see the new size. i need to do this without rebooting if possible. any takers?
[20:04] <jimcooncat> _2easy: sounds like you need something under /dev or /proc to tell you the state of the monitor?
[20:04] <ajay> how to configure gtalk for audio and video chat in ubuntu 10.04
[20:05] <dwayne> I upgraded my Dell Latitude E6510 (Intel Core i5 CPU) to 10.04 this morning and can't boot into kernel <IP_ADDRESS>.  If I use the grub menu to boot <IP_ADDRESS> everything seems fine.  Anyone have any suggestions on how to debug the default menu option (<IP_ADDRESS>) ?  All I get is a black screen.
[20:05] <elitexray> Hm I dont know
[20:05] <_2easy> jimcooncat: yes, exactly
[20:06] <din> i've already tried rescanning the scsi bus, but to no avail.
[20:06] <sacarlson> dwayne: try move the file mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.org  reboot your original kernel.
[20:06] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> dwayne: try booting a livecd
[20:07] <Semitones> What's the difference in uses between .tar.7z and just .7z?
[20:07] <_2easy> jimcooncat: i know that there is for egzample /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state file, which i use i other script, and i want to know is there simmilar for VGA
[20:07] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> tar does not compress
[20:07] <_2easy> in*
[20:07] <Semitones> both ones eventually get compressed by .7z though
[20:07] <Semitones> what is the difference between tarring it first or not
[20:08] <bobstro> epp:  you can just mount the remote music directory easily enough.
[20:08] <jimcooncat> _2easy: this is a laptop, and the switch is between the laptop screen and an external vga?
[20:08] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> Semitones: a tar is usually a collection of files, which you can compress, with gzip for instance (tar.gz or tgz)
[20:09] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> gzip only compresses a single file. i don't know anything about 7zip so i can't comment on that
[20:09] <_2easy> jimcooncat: yeah, precisely, this is what the script should do, switching resolution, and turning off the laptop screen when external one is present
[20:09] <dwayne> sacarlson, same behavior
[20:09] <Semitones> oh kk. i'm just trying to figure out what the best compression method for archiving files would be
[20:10] <sacarlson> dwayne: so does the live cd boot display ok then?
[20:10] <dwayne> trying that now
[20:10] <elitexray> When i type mount, it should tell me the location of where the file is located. I don't understand why I can't mount that file
[20:11] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> Semitones: i don't know what you'll be using it for, but for daily tasks i think tar/gzip is just fine
[20:12] <Nanobot> What's the most unobtrusive way to downgrade Java to 1.6.17?
[20:12] <Semitones> Cmdr_W_T_Riker, Kk, this is a little bit different -- I'm putting files on DVD with the hopes that they'll still be able to be opened 10/20 years in the future
[20:12] <epp> bobstro, the software i use to control uses that scheme. I would need source to correct it for \media\Media Drive M\Music.
[20:12] <ikonia> Semitones: tar + gzip has been around for 15 years,
[20:12] <sacarlson> Nanobot: whey would that be needed?  seems newer supports older in java
[20:12] <_2easy> jimcooncat: it's all because i'm not using GNOME, but the xmonad, and i have to do it manually.
[20:12] <masterBIGwilly> any map programs for maps around the world?
[20:12] <epp> bobstro, so im just looking for a client side fix.
[20:13] <wickedSA> Semitones: I would worry that the media itself would not last that long
[20:13] <jak-install> bobstro gelbihan sacralson yea, i guess all that works, i found a way to launch it from command line
[20:13] <Semitones> not even if it's kept in a safe dry place?
[20:13] <jak-install> terminal*
[20:13] <Nanobot> sacarlson: We're trying to install a Java web app, and it keeps hanging in the middle of installation. I found a bug report that suggests there's a compatibility problem with 1.6.18 and up. So, I'm trying to get 1.6.17 set up to see if that fixes it
[20:13] <jak-install> so I'll just use screen to hold it in the background
[20:14] <bobstro> epp:  not exactly sure i'm understanding. but you can certainly use sshfs (etc.) to mount ad-hoc directories on a remote machine (running ssh) locally. does that get you close?
[20:14] <jimcooncat> _2easy: I only see some references to doing this with ATI graphics -- I'm not finding a kernel hook here. Just hardwired switch to the BIOS.
[20:14] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> Semitones: okay, i suggest not using tar/gzip for this, because when the archive gets corrupted, you probably don't have much luck in recovering the data. Better find a method where corruption of data does not destroy the rest of the data
[20:14] <sacarlson> jak-install: but will it stay open or does it need to stay open when you client shuts down?
[20:14] <sacarlson> Nanobot: ok
[20:15] <gerinych> anyone know how to make toshiba laptop hotkeys work on ubuntu 10.10?
[20:15] <jak-install> sacarlson it needs to stay open when i disconnect ssh
[20:15] <Semitones> Cmdr_W_T_Riker, sounds good. hmm
[20:15] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> elitexray: if the cd is mounted, the output of mount should tell you that. you sure it is mounted?
[20:15] <sacarlson> jak-install: ya did you find a way to do that?
[20:15] <_2easy> jimcooncat: oh, is that so, what a pity, but thanks for help, a lot:)
[20:15] <tado> anyone knows how to hide the messages in the background of Thunderbird, while i am asked the master password?
[20:15] <kevinSj> Does anyone know if it's possible to dual monitor in Xubuntu? Worked perfectly in Ubuntu
[20:16] <jak-install> sacralson yes i feel fairly stupid now
[20:16] <sacarlson> jak-install: that's why it sounded like the vnc would be the way to go
[20:17] <bdutta> Hello all
[20:17] <jak-install> sacarlson yea, thats what i was thinking... but won't screen do the job?
[20:17] <Dice-Man> hello bdutta
[20:17] <bdutta> Is it okay to ask a question
[20:17] <bdutta> ?
[20:17] <jimcooncat> _2easy: do you have anything under /proc/acpi/video/ ? (I don't have a laptop handy)
[20:17] <_2easy> jimcooncat: yes sure, give me a moment
[20:17] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> Semitones: if you are going to have just a single copy of your data, i suggest leaving the files on a filesystem where you can restore individual files
[20:17] <elitexray> cdmr_w_t_riker , yes it should be since my cd rom rotated and the icon appeared on my desktop
[20:18] <sacarlson> jak-install: I'm not sure what method you finaly are using.  screen?  if the display is no longer there to run the app I guess it will lock up or something
[20:18] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> elitexray: have you checked the content of the /media directory?
[20:18] <Semitones> Cmdr_W_T_Riker, that's what I was trying to do originally
[20:18] <_2easy> jimcooncat: /proc/acpi/video/VGA/ and there CRTD  DOS  info  LCDD  POST  POST_info  ROM  TVOD
[20:19] <Semitones> Cmdr_W_T_Riker, but I couldn't get the uncompressed files to burn to the DVD -- something about not windows compatible
[20:19] <bdutta> Hello Dice-man
[20:19] <jak-install> sacarlson http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-screen-command-howto.html
[20:19] <bdutta> any tips / pointers on how to restore the startup-menu method of launching 'Ubuntu Software Center', that i seem to have lost after changing to a Real-Time kernel...
[20:19] <elitexray> I've opened the folder to the file
[20:19] <Semitones> maybe I need to pull out k3b for this job
[20:19] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> Semitones: what did you use before?
[20:20] <elitexray> I can access the setup.exe from the cd. I thought i could right click "open with" to select wine to begin the installation
[20:20] <Semitones> i tried brasero and the integrated nautillus tool
[20:20] <sacarlson> jak-install: wow that sounds like it might work cool
[20:20] <_2easy> jimcooncat: cat info -> switching heads           yes, video rom          no, device to be POSTed on boot         no
[20:20] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> Semitones: aren't CD/DVDs notorious for losing their integrity after a couple of years?
[20:20] <sacarlson> jak-install:  try it and tell me how it goes after a shutdown and power up of you client remote
[20:20] <jimcooncat> _2easy, all I can say is if there's something related, it's in there. I'm also seeing references to "vga-switcheroo" but can't find a package.
[20:21] <elitexray> But I get this command instead " The file is not marked as executable"
[20:21] <Semitones> Cmdr_W_T_Riker, if they are I need to find a better way of backing up data
[20:21] <Semitones> because hard disks fail all the time too
[20:22] <kevinSj> Anyone here that got dual screen setup on Xubuntu?
[20:22] <_2easy> jimcooncat: unfortunately i've already checked this folder twice. i will look for this package too.
[20:22] <gerinych> how do i configure acpi
[20:22] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> Semitones: at least keep copies of your data on physical different media if your data is important.
[20:23] <kellyh> anyone got any experience with getting ubuntu 10.04 working with a dell latitude d505? i get it to install/boot, but X dies on it if i try to run stuff like VLC
[20:23] <m15k> is it possible to display splashscreen in fullscreen mode when running nvidia drivers?
[20:24] <CerealCypher> kevinSj: in my experience, dual screens really only work in Ubuntu... it's too big of a hassle in other desktops at the moment
[20:24] <Priswell> I was getting an error in Evolution saying that it couldn't read my addressbook. So, I went to the forums to find a solution, it said to delete the gconf files in Evolution. and then reboot. When I did that I was unable to login. I am using Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit. Help?
[20:24] <elitexray> Am I getting "not marked as executable" upon installation of my file because the CD isn't the original version?
[20:25] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> elitexray: no, you're getting that message because the executable doesn't have the executable bit set as required in linux to run an application
[20:26] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> or unix for that matter
[20:26] <elitexray> It seems like this happens to every burned cd I have.
[20:26] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> Priswell: gconf files in evolution? or did you rm -rf ~/.gconf
[20:26] <DragonKeeper> anyone got dirt 2 to play on ubuntu yet ?
[20:28] <jak-install> sacarlson no dice
[20:28] <jak-install> when i disconnected ssh it killed the process
[20:28] <shiftingcontrol> i hear beep sound continuously when my laptop starts til i log into ubuntu,anybdy got idea abt the prb ?
[20:28] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> elitexray: probably because the files on your CD are mounted as ordinary (ie. non executable) files, since the filesystem on the CD-ROM does not support such file attributes, so linux just mounts the files as ordinary ones
[20:28] <Semitones> at least k3b is burning the DVD :)
[20:28] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> elitexray: i suggest either altering your mount options, or copying the data from CD to your harddisk and set the executable bit on the install.exe
[20:28] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> Semitones: yay
[20:29] <Lxndr> I have xchat set up on my desktop (here). I want to have the exact same settings on my laptop (there). Where can I find any sort of configuration and/or setting file, and to where should I copy it, to make this happen? Or is there some other, better way?
[20:29] <elitexray> That's good information. I can extract the setup.exe or get .iso format from the CD?
[20:29] <yaaar> howdy
[20:29] <Lxndr> I have xchat set up on my desktop (here). I want to have the exact same settings on my laptop (there). Where can I find any sort of configuration and/or setting file, and to where should I copy it, to make this happen? Or is there some other, better way?
[20:30] <kellyh> Lxndr: it'll be in .xchat in your home dir
[20:30] <toxictux> Lxndr, ls ~/.xchat2
[20:30] <bobstro> Lxndr:  i have dircproxy set up in between for the server connection stuff.
[20:30] <shiftingcontrol> i hear a beep as soon i start my laptop til i login ,can any one help me out to remove it ?
[20:30] <Lxndr> kelly, toxictux: so just copy that directory and I'm golden?
[20:31] <DragonKeeper> rip the system sound speaker out ;)
[20:31] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> Lxndr: scp -r ~/.xchat2 your_laptop:~/
[20:31] <jak-install> now im just very confused... because its launching VNC with no monitor attached and its done it twice
[20:31] <shiftingcontrol> DragonKeeper:sound does come out from  speaker:)
[20:31] <bdutta> repeating myself here... just in case someone here can help, but missed my message:  any tips / pointers on how to restore the startup-menu method of launching 'Ubuntu Software Center', that i seem to have lost after changing to a Real-Time kernel...
[20:32] <bobstro> jak-install:  in a good way?
[20:32] <andrew67> hi, i just got prompted to do a distribution upgrade an was just wondering if its meant to be happening because i'm already running lucid lynx
[20:32] <dwayne> is there any way to recover a file that was never saved on a laptop that rebooted a few times?
[20:32] <rockhopper> !patience | bdutta
[20:32] <DragonKeeper> in old systems  theres a system speaker  thats y i said it
[20:32] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> bdutta: doesn't ring a bell here..
[20:32] <bdutta> thanks for the tip, ubottu.
[20:32] <jak-install> bobstro yea
[20:32] <bdutta> ok, sure Cmdr
[20:32] <shiftingcontrol> DragonKeeper:ok.
[20:33] <DragonKeeper> so has anyone got dirt 2 to play on ubuntu yet ?
[20:34] <Pici> !appdb | DragonKeeper
[20:34] <DragonKeeper> yh dirt 2 isnt in the list thats why i asked
[20:34] <toxictux> Lxndr, use xxdiff to merge your laptop version with your desktop version
[20:34] <Pici> DragonKeeper: Then perhaps you should ask in the Wine channel then.
[20:34] <DragonKeeper> on my way
[20:34] <julio22> hello
[20:35] <jak-install> bobstro and now i moved it and i dont think its gonna do it again
[20:35] <toxictux> Lxndr, xxdiff -r dir1 dir2
[20:35] <julio22> what deos wine do
[20:35] <julio22> kk
[20:36] <andrew67> hi, im new to IRC so i'm not sure if you can read this so if you can read this then please can you let me know
[20:36] <wickedSA> andrew67: yeah, can read
[20:36] <ikonia> andrew67: we can see you
[20:36] <toxictux> andrew67, thumbs up
[20:38] <andrew67> yay, has anyone else been prompted with a distribution upgrade box whilst running lucid?
[20:38] <bdutta> figured out that I could launch Software-Center using this command: /usr/bin/software-center ! so i can at-least, manually add it back to the menu.
[20:38] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> andrew67: nope
[20:38] <ikonia> andrew67: you shouldn't be unless you launched it with -d
[20:38] <jak-install> does anybody know a way to have the machine auto fix the disk instead of prompting if theres a problem on bootup?
[20:39] <elitexray> Thanks cmdr. I figured it out and now sc installing :)
[20:39] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> elitexray: great
[20:39] <elitexray> I like your air of confidence
[20:39] <toxictux> andrew67, lucid is the latest stable version, dont upgrade to the dev version unless you know what you are doing
[20:39] <ikonia> jak-install: thats not something you want believe it or not, you shouldn't get a disk (fsck) error very often though
[20:39] <andrew67> okay, will cancel it now then!
[20:39] <mib_mib> hi guys, i can't figure out whats wrong with ubuntu - it starts up okay and everything, but when i double click icons on the desktop they don't work -- nothing happens, just goes 'busy' for a second then nothing -- can someone help? i've tried a lot of stuff, restarting gdm etc
[20:40] <ikonia> mib_mib: what icons are on the desktop that don't work
[20:40] <g_> hi all. i have a series of subdirs (of an unknown level) that i want to delete jpg files from. how do i issue a command to do this from cmdline?
[20:40] <mib_mib> for example, text files that should open with gedit, the 'terminal' program shortcut
[20:40] <jak-install> ikonia i know... but its doing it a lot... idk i just plugged a keyboard into it... whata u gonna do
[20:41] <mib_mib> ikonia: also, when i go to applications and click on them there, they don't run either, although ODDDLY, a few do like emacs
[20:41] <toxictux> g_, find . -type f -name "*.jpg"
[20:41] <ikonia> jak-install: you need to find out why, you have a problem there that's serious,
[20:41] <DragonKeeper> whats the  end of life    in the topic :S
[20:42] <ikonia> jak-install: can you launch them from the terminal
[20:42] <Pici> !end-of-life | DragonKeeper
[20:42] <g_> toxictux: will that actually remove them though?
[20:42] <DragonKeeper> oh  ok
[20:42] <toxictux> g_, no it will list them
[20:43] <toxictux> g_, look if the files contain spaces or special chars
[20:43] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> g_: no, it will just list the files that match the search criteria. TO delete them, eitther add -delete or some xargs construction. best first check if you're not matching files you do not want to have deleted
[20:43] <g_> toxictux: so would i pipe that to rm?
[20:44] <toxictux> g_, append | xargs rm -i

[20:44] <KittyBoots> I am having trouble with some sort of keyring for NetworkManagerApplet.  What is this it? It says it is locked and my user password dosen't seem to be able to unlock it.  How to I make this not happen?
[20:44] <ajay> what may be issue in empathy configuration
[20:44] <jak-install> ikonia ... yea probably but it booted now... so im ok
[20:44] <jak-install> i gotta get outta here anyway
[20:44] <EvilPhoenix> how can I tell if my processor (not the operating system) is 64bit capable?
[20:44] <guntbert> g_: you should test with find . -type f -name "*.jpg" -depth, and when you are satisfied then use find . -type f -name "*.jpg" -delete   to actually remove them

[20:46] <zpguy> Ok, I have Dell inspiron 2650, trying to install ubuntu.  NTFS formated hard drive.  System won't boot to CD for the installation to begin.  How do i get my system to recognize the boot cd
[20:47] <EvilPhoenix> zpguy, BIOS
[20:47] <Helpmeplease>  Hi I cannot boot into ubuntu the following message appear:General error mounting filesystems
[20:47] <bdutta> @EvilPhoenix, while your system boots up, the BIOS POST might typically report the processor, or somewhere inside BIOS menu. Also, if you are already booted into 32-bit mode in Linux, on a processor that is actually 64-bit, you can use the cpuinfo attribute under /proc to get more cpu specific information
[20:47] <Helpmeplease>  I have ubuntu 10;04
[20:47] <EvilPhoenix> bdutta, not on ah HP netbook ...
[20:47] <Helpmeplease> I'm typing from a live cd , I'm a total noob but i'm not afraid of terminal or corecting files manually
[20:47] <EvilPhoenix> Helpmeplease, your system must be messed
[20:47] <zpguy> evilphoenix, bios is ok
[20:47] <bdutta> @EvilPhoenix... ah indeed. I use one too.
[20:48] <bdutta> @Helpmeplease, do you get an offer to land on the Single-user shell ???
[20:48] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> zpguy: either change mmedia boot order in bios or press (i think) f12 for Dell laptops to choose boot media
[20:48] <zpguy> My system reads other boot discs, but not my ubuntu cd
[20:48] <Helpmeplease> no
[20:48] <zpguy> The cd of course works on other systems
[20:48] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> zpguy: have you tried that CD in another computer?
[20:48] <o-brown> Hi, I'm trying to install OpenBravo and I get this error message: E: openbravo-erp: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
[20:48] <elitexray> My starcraft installed successfully. But theres a problem. I get a blank screen upon start up of the game.
[20:49] <Helpmeplease> after grub only to go to a maintenance shell  or to type crtl d but then I am rebooted to grub
[20:49] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> elitexray: perhaps the good folks of #wine can give you some useful pointers
[20:49] <bdutta> @Helpmeplease sometimes if your CMOS battery is dead, and the BIOS RTC is reset to epoch (1st-Jan-1970), you FS checks fail your primary boot media would refuse to boot further.
[20:49] <Helpmeplease> my keyboard is french so when asked to type root password it does not work.
[20:50] <elitexray> #wine is invites only =/
[20:50] <Guest50928> I cant left click on the window switcher      I removed and readded it but it still will not work.. I cannot switch windows 10.4
[20:50] <sacarlson> Helpmeplease: maybe this will work http://paste.ubuntu.com/489015/
[20:50] <guntbert> elitexray: its #winehq
[20:50] <elitexray> thanks that works
[20:50] <bdutta> @Helpmeplease... do u have an Ubuntu (or other Linux) LiveCD handy ?? In which case you could boot into/via LiveCD, and then try to diagnose issues with your primary HDD
[20:51] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> zpguy: doesn't look like a problem with ubuntu in any case, more like the medium is not read by your dvd properly. perhaps you're trying to read a dvd in a cdrom drive? you might want to create a bootable usb stick to install ubuntu from (unetbootin for starters)
[20:51] <Helpmeplease> I am on the live cd lol because I cannot boot at all.
[20:51] <g_> ok, great, so now i'd like to run this from cron, should i chdir to the dir i want to search down from, or add the path in the find?
[20:52] <EvilPhoenix> zpguy, my next thought is an incomplete CD
[20:52] <EvilPhoenix> zpguy, or a not correctly burned CD
[20:52] <g_> bad download most likely
[20:52] <whosjose> http://pastebin.com/MbYNwrmK still having a problem burning a DVD Video
[20:52] <EvilPhoenix> mhm
[20:52] <sacarlson> Helpmeplease: the instructions I gave you tells you how to recover using your live cd http://paste.ubuntu.com/489015/
[20:52] <guntbert> g_: use the absolute path in the find command
[20:52] <kellyh> ok, seems i may have fixed the d505/i855gm issues i was having *crosses fingers*
[20:53] <aguitel> how uninstall evolution ?
[20:53] <bdutta> @Helpmeplease.. you mean you cannot boot up via LiveCD ? if so, one possibility is that your CD media has gone bad.
[20:53] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> aguitel: use the software manager or apt-get or aptitude
[20:53] <EvilPhoenix> aguitel, sudo apt-get uninstall evolution  ?
[20:53] <rockhopper> aguitel, sudo apt-get remove evolution
[20:53] <rockhopper> Lol
[20:53] <aguitel> thankz
[20:54] <sacarlson> bdutta: sounds like they are now runing on live cd
[20:54] <Helpmeplease> no i cannot boot my installed system as the message General error mounting filesystems appear and I'am now in a live cd
[20:54] <bdutta> ah... thanks for clarifying sacarlson
[20:54] <hakermania> Hello guys, can anyone tell me what is the name of the remove-script in a deb package and where do I place it ?(I hope the name to be postrm and place it in the DEBIAN folder)
[20:54] <bdutta> got it @Helpmeplease
[20:55] <Pici> hakermania: #ubuntu-packaging would be the best place to ask that
[20:55] <hakermania> Pici, thx for this
[20:55] <yacc> I'm trying to do a system upgrade and the do-release-upgrade complains (http://paste.org/pastebin/view/22256), what can I do to fix that?
[20:55] <g_> thanks guntbert
[20:55] <bdutta> once you'r booted in LiveCD, on that system... are you able to mound your hard-disk partitions under /tmp somewhere ?
[20:56] <bdutta> after mounting them under /tmp somewhere, you can run 'fsck -y' to check the disk.
[20:56] <Matisse> hi
[20:56] <Helpmeplease> they are mounted normally by nautilus and appear when clicking on the shortcuts
[20:57] <guntbert> bdutta: fsck on a mounted filesystem?
[20:57] <Scunizi> Is there a way to sync a folder with google docs?
[20:57] <aish> wow
[20:57] <Helpmeplease> guest@guest:~$ sudo fsck -y fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2
[20:57] <bdutta> ah... sorry. my bad !! not on the mounted system...  on the device plz.
[20:58] <rooks> where are firefox configuration files in ~/ ?
[20:58] <g_> rooks: .mozilla/firefox
[20:58] <duffydack> Scunizi, there is that google fs, might be what you want.
[20:58] <rooks> thx
[20:58] <g_> rooks then your profile
[20:58] <Scunizi> duffydack: didn't know that.. thanks.. in the repos?
[20:58] <g_> thanks guys,
[20:59] <duffydack> http://code.google.com/p/google-docs-fs/
[21:00] <Helpmeplease> sudo fsck -y /dev/sda8 fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2 e2fsck 1.41.11 (14-Mar-2010) /dev/sda8: clean, 271015/1884160 files, 1750734/7522428 blocks
[21:01] <galusr> Can anyone help with an external hard disk and fstab issue?
[21:02] <bdutta> @Helpmeplease... anything unusual / in particular that you did, before you started getting the error ?
[21:02] <duffydack> Scunizi,  https://edge.launchpad.net/~invernizzi/+archive/google-docs-fs
[21:02] <Scunizi> duffydack: there's also prism-google-docs I found in the repos :)
[21:03] <sacarlson> galusr: maybe
[21:03] <Helpmeplease> ok I used the noatime option and I mounted tmpfs
[21:04] <Helpmeplease> may I join a copie of my previous fstab and the actual one (cleaned of any special option)?
[21:04] <galusr> I added an external hard disk to my system before booting and the device name of an another external was given to this. The original external was configured in fstab to mount to locations based on dev name. This still worked!
[21:04] <thune3> yacc: http://ppa.launchpad.net/smaioli/ppa/ubuntu/dists/ doesn't appear to have a lucid branch, you probably need to disable it.
[21:04] <adymitruk> anyone know how to use the arrow keys when running ubuntu server in VMWare on a Windows 7 machine?
[21:05] <galusr> My main problem is I want to configure truecrypt but I'm concerned if the machine is booted without the second external it will revert causing problems with my trueccrypt setup.
[21:05] <Scunizi> duffydack: looks like your link might be a better solution.. thanks
[21:05] <yacc> thune3, I removed the ppa from /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ but it still complains, ...
[21:06] <duffydack> Scunizi, there is a deb also from the google code page
[21:06] <jimcooncat> adymitruk: you could get around it by using Putty to ssh into the ubuntu server instead of using the terminal that vmware gives you
[21:06] <Scunizi> duffydack: the ppa says he also has it posted there... nice.. thanks
[21:06] <adymitruk> right.. ok.. I guess I'll try that. Thanks, jimcooncat!
[21:07] <bdutta> @Helpmeplease, if you do have a copy of your previous (working fstab) say saved as a .bak (backup) file in the same filesystem, then after you've mounted your /dev/sda8 under /tmp somewhere, you can edit the fstab, or restore from .bak file, do 'sync' couple of times (not sure if that ritual is necessary any more), and then umount, and try rebooting with original setup.
[21:07] <sinister-nation> I had installed ubuntu & ubuntu studio on my computer, something happen to grub and had to reinstall grub. How can i get ggrub to see the other linux OS?
[21:08] <dorgan> is there anyone in here that can explain mysql deadlocks to me a simple as possible

[21:08] <kdasdasf> hi if i type fast xorg (or something else) doesn't get all keystrokes
[21:09] <bdutta> @sinister-nation, i think you need to just edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst fileand add entries for the other OS images... not 100% sure though. feeling quite rusty today.
[21:09] <kdasdasf> probably the usb daemon has a too low priority
[21:09] <LjL> kdasdasf: does it sometimes get repeated keystrokes? (i.e. you type "s" you get "ssssss")
[21:09] <kdasdasf> how can i fix that
[21:09] <kdasdasf> LjL, no the keys aresising
[21:09] <kdasdasf> *are just missing
[21:09] <Helpmeplease> no i do not have a copy but i managed to  rewrite a cleaner one but it does not boot when i last tried it had the noatime option (in the new one)
[21:09] <guntbert> dorgan: there is a channel #mysql as well
[21:10] <LjL> kdasdasf: hmm i see. then i guess it's something different from what i used to experience
[21:10] <d-eee> quick question, why is it that when I delete files on a usb stick, on a windoze machine in the usb there is a trash folder with the deleted files?
[21:10] <d-eee> c'mon son
[21:10] <kdasdasf> LjL, how did you fix your problem?
[21:10] <guntbert> d-eee: how is that an ubuntu support question?
[21:10] <LjL> kdasdasf: i didn't really, i changed motherboards :(
[21:11] <bdutta> @Helpmeplease... after mounting your /dev/sda8 under /tmp somewhere in LiveCD, can you try to check the dmesg logs ?? where exactly does it bomb ?
[21:11] <d-eee> guntbert:  cuz it happens when using karmi koala
[21:11] <kdasdasf> LjL, hm i hope i don't have to ^^
[21:11] <kdasdasf> it's a laptop ^^
[21:11] <jimcooncat> d-eee so you're seeing a .Trash folder when you run it under windows, correct?
[21:11] <kdasdasf> butonleythe usb keyboard has the problem
[21:11] <d-eee> jimcooncat: yes
[21:11] <kdasdasf> *but only the
[21:12] <d-eee> jimcooncat:  how can I not have that?
[21:12] <thune3> yacc: i'm not sure. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Upgrades recommends moving /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ to /etc/apt/sources.list.d.OLD/ and mkdir /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ . you may need to run apt-get update again? i really don't know.
[21:12] <jimcooncat> d-eee that's because you're not deleting the files when you're under Ubuntu, you're moving them to .Trash
[21:12] <jimcooncat> can someone tell d-eee how to add a delete option to Nautilus?
[21:13] <sinister-nation> bdutta: I don't see the menu.lst file
[21:13] <d-eee> jimcooncat:  but I press delete.
[21:13] <Helpmeplease> in tmp where are the dmesg logs?
[21:13] <d-eee> jimcooncat: delete option in nautilus.  I'll look it up.  appreciate the hint. thanks
[21:13] <jimcooncat> d-eee yes, under Nautilus that means "move to trash", not delete
[21:14] <d-eee> jimcooncat: ok, so it can be done in nautilus, don't have to go command line?
[21:14] <duffydack> Scunizi, just tried it, nice.  needed python-fuse and the gdata deb also... but works nice

[21:35] <mbeierl> anyone ever use jumbo frame (mtu > 1500, like say 9000) ethernet?  I've got a RH5 box on a gigabit network and it's performance tanks when MTU > 4000, and I'm wondering if Ubuntu is any better
[21:36] <sacarlson> Helpmeplease: ok so were is /dev/sda8 mounted now?
[21:36] <boywonder> hi,can anyone pleas help with simple question, if i get a new phone and usb to my ubuntu will i need to install drivers or will it act like my 3g dongle?
[21:36] <Helpmeplease> fstab of the live cd :aufs / aufs rw 0 0 tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nosuid,nodev 0 0 /dev/sda9 swap swap defaults 0 0
[21:36] <sacarlson> Helpmeplease: ok so were is /dev/sda8 mounted now?
[21:36] <itsjustme> Padster  the 4 window switcher in the taskbar doesnt work
[21:37] <Helpmeplease> I mounted them on the live cd with nautilus
[21:37] <Padster> itsjustme: the desktop (workspace) switcher?
[21:37] <brianlamere> mbeierl: that's just going to be a setting you have in proc/net; I highly doubt Ubuntu alters the kernel so much as for that to be different (though they may ship with different defaults)
[21:37] <sacarlson> Helpmeplease: yes at what point did it mount it /media/???
[21:37] <Helpmeplease> ok
[21:38] <jimcooncat> boywonder: it will either: work, won't work, or work with a lot of work
[21:38] <boywonder> lol
[21:38] <Helpmeplease> yes media
[21:38] <jimcooncat> boywonder: best is to find someone with that phone and try it
[21:38] <Flimm> Does anyone know a good tutorial for full disk encryption with LUKS and LVM on a dual boot system?
[21:38] <boywonder> thanks
[21:38] <itsjustme> Padster  yes
[21:38] <mbeierl> brianlamere: RH5 uses kernel 2.6.18 ... so that's why I wondered if there were improvements in that area or if anyone had recent experience :)
[21:38] <sacarlson> Helpmeplease: also I should see in that /media/???/etc/fstab  line that has root
[21:38] <itsjustme> Padster  I removed it and readded it and it still doesn't work
[21:39] <Padster> itsjustme: and when you click it it doesn't do anything?
[21:39] <sacarlson> Helpmeplease: the question is /media/????  fill in the ??? part
[21:39] <boywonder> jimcooncat, that may proove hard to find someone
[21:39] <jimcooncat> boywonder: take your laptop to the phone store and try to find someone with a good sense of humor?

[21:40] <boywonder> jimcooncat, if i get the phone and it doesnt work will someonw usually sort out the problem pretty quick? im lookin to change over to a galaxy
[21:40] <Padster> HI!
[21:40] <sinman> whats up with these floodbot's
[21:40] <jimcooncat> boywonder: other than that, get the exact model number of the phone and see if anyone else has it working. You may need to try several channels, like #linux, #hardware, or #debian as well as here
[21:40] <Helpmeplease> you think its a problem of grub?
[21:40] <tunnelingcat> i needs some help... i was told this was the place to be? haha
[21:41] <itsjustme> Padster that is correct.  I can move say another open browser to another and see it but when I left click on it, it doesn't go to it
[21:41] <sacarlson> Helpmeplease: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/bf132327-22b8-4ed5-bfa7-4ce53821d638/ /dev/sda
[21:41] <boywonder> jimcooncat, will do thanks alot
[21:41] <Brandon_> anyone who knows how the PPA system works? I'd like to pm
[21:42] <sacarlson> Brandon_: I know some
[21:42] <nostriluu> any ideas on the futex_wait problem running java programs ?
[21:42] <jimcooncat> boywonder: if you don't get a bunch of hits with googling "linux [model of phone]" you might not get going with it
[21:42] <Brandon_> sacarlson, wanna pm?
[21:42] <tunnelingcat> im running windows vista *vomits everywhere* and i want to switch to ubuntu but im totally green with it so i need some helps...
[21:42] <sacarlson> Brandon_: prefer here to start
[21:42] <Padster> itsjustme: so you mean with just trying to switch desktop, not drag a window or anything, right?
[21:42] <Brandon_> sacarlson, what I'll be saying is gonna result in a flamewar
[21:42] <jimcooncat> tunnelingcat: we'd love to help you purge your hard drive, please proceed
[21:42] <Padster> tunnelingcat: okay, what do you want help with?
[21:43] <ghostlines> hi all, is it possible to display how much memory an app uses in htop instead of seeing only the percentage?
[21:43] <guntbert> tunnelingcat: no need for that entry line -- ask your questions, if anybody knows an answer they will most likely reply
[21:43] <sacarlson> Helpmeplease: yes your grub is mest up
[21:43] <tunnelingcat> why thankyou! i have this scary virus named Vista x64! i heard the amazing ubuntu could save me! but i am afraid of the lack of compatibility with some programs i use... among a couple other things...
[21:44] <itsjustme> Padster I couldn't do anything with the switcher except see the open apps in the switcher.. I cant click " to " the window I want
[21:44] <jimcooncat> tunnelingcat: let's talk about those programs. Then you can burn a live cd and take Ubuntu for a test run without touching your hard drive to see if your computer likes it
[21:44] <Padster> tunnelingcat: if you mean you don't know how they work in wine, there is a site where people post how well things work. http://appdb.winehq.org/
[21:44] <Helpmeplease> guest@guest:~$ sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/bf132327-22b8-4ed5-bfa7-4ce53821d638/ /dev/sda
[21:44] <tunnelingcat> so yeah. i run Steam.... and Skype.. will they work on ubuntu?
[21:45] <sacarlson> Helpmeplease: you should make sure that the /media/bf132327-22b8-4ed5-bfa7-4ce53821d638/etc/fstab  has the root set at /dev/sda8 or the same uuid
[21:45] <guntbert> tunnelingcat: if you want to just talk *about* ubuntu please /join #ubuntu-offtopic , this channel is for support only
[21:45] <Helpmeplease> guest@guest:~$ sudo update-grub /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?). guest@guest:~$ ^

[21:46] <freexor> Helpmeplease: have you tried restarting?
[21:46] <Padster> itsjustme: you can't click "to the window you want to"? you mean the desktop? or a window?
[21:46] <tunnelingcat> i was also worried because last time i tried my wireless nic stopped working.... so i couldnt even get online to search for help
[21:46] <jimcooncat> guntbert: tunnelingcat is wondering if Steam and Skype are supported. I think they're appropriate questions. Do you know? I don't use them
[21:46] <phaedra> tunnelingcat, as for skype yes, here > http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/get-skype/on-your-computer/linux/
[21:46] <Helpmeplease> not yet because its the 5 I restart today lol kype is supported
[21:46] <sacarlson> Helpmeplease: can you even cd /media/bf132327-22b8-4ed5-bfa7-4ce53821d638/
[21:47] <mbeierl> tunnelingcat: skype works well for me on 64bit 10.04! including video and screen share
[21:47] <freexor> Skype is in the repos, Steam works through Wine (kind of)
[21:47] <Padster> tunnelingcat: steam is planned for linux, i think, but not yet
[21:47] <guntbert> jimcooncat: neither do I, yes those questions are appropriate -- I was referring to his first two statements
[21:47] <Helpmeplease> sudo cd/media/bf132327-22b8-4ed5-bfa7-4ce53821d638 sudo: cd/media/bf132327-22b8-4ed5-bfa7-4ce53821d638: command not found
[21:47] <tunnelingcat> in the repos? im not up on the jargon ^^;;
[21:48] <itsjustme> Padster I am at my desktop and want to click to another open app in the window switcher but cant.  I click on it but nothing happens   I cant be more specific then that
[21:48] <Padster> tunnelingcat: you can install it from the package manager, where you get software
[21:48] <tunnelingcat> ohh ok
[21:48] <freexor> Sykpe is in canonical partener
[21:48] <jimcooncat> guntbert: I suppose advocacy isn't support, but it's just hard to resist -)

[21:49] <sacarlson> Helpmeplease: you can copy and paste you know

[21:54] <freexor> Just a question, but does anybody know of good accounting software for GNU/Linux? I am currently converting my Mom, and that is the only thing she still uses Windows for.
[21:54] <Helpmeplease> sorry it is in french
[21:54] <sacarlson> Helpmeplease: well I wanted to see what's in bf132327-22b8-4ed5-bfa7-4ce53821d638
[21:55] <jimcooncat> freexor: I've been looking, best I've found is openerp. gnucash may be an option for very small businesses.
[21:55] <Helpmeplease> bf132327-22b8-4ed5-bfa7-4ce53821d638
[21:55] <_2easy> is this a joke?
[21:55] <Helpmeplease> is my linux partition all the  other one are nfts
[21:55] <hihihi100> hiya, if I write a document in odf, save it as doc (because the receiver has a windows OS), and send it via hotmail, will the receiver have any problem to download the doc file?

[21:55] <sacarlson> Helpmeplease: yes  ls /media/bf132327-22b8-4ed5-bfa7-4ce53821d638/
[21:55] <freexor> jimcooncat: It is only for personal finances, so a desktop app would be best. I am looking up GNUCash now.
[21:56] <_2easy> hihihi100: no
[21:56] <Riotta> hello, how to get the same beautiful high resolution bootup and high res working TTY consoles in ubuntu 10.04 like in the live cd (I'm ATI Radeon user)?
[21:56] <guntbert> _2easy:  Do you have an ubuntu support question?
[21:56] <tunnelingcat> hmmm... ok so you all say i should make a live cd, test everything out, and if it works the roll with it?
[21:56] <hihihi100> does ubuntu provide for free mail accounts?
[21:56] <freexor> Riotta: The proprietary driver probable doesn't support KMS, so you will have to add "vga=xxx
[21:56] <hihihi100> or canocical?
[21:56] <hihihi100> canonical
[21:57] <Helpmeplease> 0     cdrom  home	 lost+found  mvpod  root     srv  tmp  vmlinuz bin   dev    initrd.img  media	     opt    sbin     sys  usr boot  etc    lib	 mnt	     proc   selinux  ted  var
[21:57] <guntbert> tunnelingcat: seems the sensible way
[21:57] <freexor> Riotta: where xxx is a number representing the screen details
[21:57] <jimcooncat> freexor: for personal finances gnucash would probably be best. What's good about it is that it's actively maintained, unlike a lot of other finance software out there
[21:57] <_2easy> guntbert: i had, but now, no. why?
[21:57] <tunnelingcat> thanks everyone for the help!!!
[21:57] <freexor> Riotta: see
[21:57] <Riotta> freexor: that will work with Plymouth?
[21:58] <guntbert> _2easy: you were making random comments
[21:58] <Riotta> and grub 2.0?
[21:58] <duffydack> Riotta, http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Fix-the-Big-and-Ugly-Plymouth-Logo-in-Ubuntu-10-04-140810.shtml
[21:58] <freexor> Riotta: see http://www.pendrivelinux.com/vga-boot-modes-to-set-screen-resolution
[21:58] <freexor> Riotta: oh, and yes, it works with plymouth
[21:58] <duffydack> Riotta,  something to add when you're done :) http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/09/ubuntu-sunrise-plymouth-theme-adds-awe-to-boot-time/
[21:58] <sacarlson> Helpmeplease: that can't be right
[21:58] <Riotta> thanks
[21:58] <_2easy> guntbert: sorry, that was to Helpmeplease
[21:58] <freexor> jimcooncat: thanks for the tip, GNUCash looks great
[21:59] <CosmiChaos> My VDPAU is not working i have latest nvidia-current installed and have no packages of Nvidias VDPAU PPA installed, please help.
[21:59] <sacarlson> Helpmeplease: ok maybe it is then this should work sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/bf132327-22b8-4ed5-bfa7-4ce53821d638/ /dev/sda
[21:59] <jimcooncat> freexor: np. good luck with the migration. later all, gotta go!

[21:59] <guntbert> _2easy: no matter to whom - we try very much to stay helpful in this channel :-)
[22:00] <sacarlson> Helpmeplease: make sure that's all on one line
[22:00] <Helpmeplease>  i will try it . bf132327-22b8-4ed5-bfa7-4ce53821d638 is my linux partition, all the other ones are windows so I hope it will keep dual booting
[22:00] <quidnunc> Where are iptables rules usually source on startup? I have some rules loading somewhere but I forgot how to edit them
[22:01] <guntbert> jimcooncat: may I PM you?
[22:01] <quidnunc> !pm
[22:01] <jrib> quidnunc: probably from ufw or firestarter (sorry I have to go)
[22:01] <jimcooncat> guntbert: yes, please be quick
[22:01] <quidnunc> jrib: No, I didn't it manually
[22:01] <_2easy> guntbert: that's nice of you^^ (the first channel i confrotate such niceness, lol)
[22:01] <quidnunc> did it*

[22:03] <sacarlson> Helpmeplease: I think I mestup someplace
[22:03] <uRock> !cookie > uRock
[22:04] <_2easy> ok, one maybe question, why the old versions of the kernel stays on the hard disk after calling apt-get autoremove?
[22:05]  * uRock knows he done nothing to deserve the cookie, but he was hungry. =)
[22:06] <aeon-ltd> _2easy: safety precaution. incase you need the kernels, they technically never become obselete
[22:07] <uRock> has anyone had any problems installing Lightning to the 64bit thunderbird 3.1.3?
[22:07] <_2easy> aeon-ltd: ok then, so how can i tell the grub, when he is creating the grub.cfg, to take into account only the newest kernel?
[22:09] <_2easy> aeon-ltd: i don't want to manually remove them every time there is a new version of the kernel
[22:09] <hihihi100> once that I have installed ALSA, i can delete the tarball and the extracted files from my downloads folder, right?
[22:10] <_2easy> aeon-ltd: or, how can i force apt-get to remove those kernels?
[22:10] <hihihi100> cmon, give a hand to a noob
[22:10] <guntbert> _2easy: keep the second newest and remove all the others with your favorite package manager
[22:10] <_2easy> hihihi100: yes
[22:10] <rblst> every time i update packages my /etc/mailcap file is modified, this annoys me as i have some custom setting there i need to re-set again and again
[22:10] <aeon-ltd> _2easy: yeah, its much easier with synaptics
[22:10] <aeon-ltd> !ask| hihihi100
[22:11] <_2easy> oh, ok, i'll try.
[22:12] <rblst> how can i change the default background color in a plymouth theme?
[22:12] <hihihi100> ok

[22:14] <rblst> aeon-ltd, many thanks
[22:15] <aeon-ltd> rblst: welcome, but please try google first next time :)
[22:15] <VintageRitz> wow, fewer than 1300 people. That's a change.
[22:16] <aeon-ltd> VintageRitz: yeah its night in gmt, so thats prob why
[22:16] <rblst> aeon-ltd, i did, i did not found this, i thought it was some image i had to modify, thanks again
[22:16] <Scunizi> For the last month CUPS does not start on boot... I have to manually start the demon. How do I fix that?
[22:16] <aeon-ltd> rblst: oh ok
[22:16] <ffdsf> aeon-ltd it was kinda useless and I had to install lxde which nearly as slow as gnome
[22:17] <guntbert> !askthebot | uRock
[22:17] <uRock> Scunizi, there should be something for cups in Startup Applications
[22:18] <VintageRitz> hello everyone. I'm having trouble burning a DVD back-up disc with various files. I'm using 10.04 on a Dell laptop, tried both Brasero and Gnomebaker. The programs go for a little while, then spit the disc out without burning. How can I find out what's going wrong?
[22:18] <thune3> rblst: my understanding (could be wrong) is that user mime types go in /etc/mailcap.order (for system wide) or ~/.mailcap (user specific).
[22:18] <ffdsf> i'm getting a message in icon area that 'demon of gnome settings just ended prematurelly' why does it happen?
[22:18] <Scunizi> uRock: I'm running kubuntu so thing are a bit different then gnome..
[22:18] <aeon-ltd> ffdsf: ok, you are kinda pushing it though with your specs, but if you'd like to learn about linux please feel free to try http://www.archlinux.org/download/ and use this for reference http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners%27_Guide , archlinux unlike ubuntu is much more raw and that gives it the advantage in performance
[22:18] <rblst> thune3, okay, thanks, and those take prefeference, right?
[22:19] <ffdsf> define raw
[22:19] <rblst> thune3, i'll try that, thank you
[22:19] <thune3> rblst: supposed to. that's what the documentation says, anyway.
[22:19] <aeon-ltd> ffdsf: its basically packages neeeded to get online, a kernel, a package manager
[22:20] <aeon-ltd> ffdsf: oh and cli by default
[22:20] <uRock> Scunizi, sorry about that. Didn't realize kubuntu didn't have that app
[22:20] <thune3> rblst: for items put in /etc/mailcap.order (as it says in the header) you need to run sudo update-mime to get them propagated to mailcap file.
[22:24] <Scunizi> uRock: no problem.. I do think that there is a bug filed about this... but finding it is tough
[22:25] <hihihi100> if I have succesfully installed-upgraded ALSA via AlsaUpgrade-1.0.23-2.sh, and when running cat /proc/asound/version I get cat: /proc/asound/version: No such file or directory, what should I do?

[22:30] <Scunizi> Pavel_10: use the "Startup Disk Creator" in "System" .. as long as you have an iso of the unr you should be good to go
[22:30] <aeon-ltd> newkno: google, wubi
[22:30] <Pavel_10> scunizi, I'm already past that
[22:30] <Scunizi> newkno: yes with wubi... but you might be better off using Virtualbox and run an actual VM
[22:30] <newkno> It's not that simple, aeon-ltd.
[22:30] <Scunizi> Pavel_10: so what'
[22:30] <aeon-ltd> newkno: yes it is
[22:30] <Scunizi> Pavel_10: so what's the issue
[22:30] <Typh> what's the easiest way to split, then join a binary file
[22:31] <newkno> I plan to use VB eventually.
[22:31] <Pavel_10> scunizi, I used the usb creator to put the iso on the drive, but when I select it at a bootup menu it doesn't load
[22:31] <Scunizi> newkno: I really don't like wubi..
[22:31] <aeon-ltd> newkno: VB = Virtual Box or something else?
[22:31] <newkno> First, though I have a problem.  So I just want to install a Linux f.s. within an NTFS one.
[22:31] <linxeh> virtualbox is so unfortunately named
[22:31] <linxeh> :/
[22:31] <newkno> virtualbox
[22:31] <Pavel_10> can I test the integrity of the install?
[22:31] <guntbert> ghostlines: then select it press F4 to change the type of display
[22:32] <Scunizi> Pavel_10: did the utility ask to reformat the pen drive? and are you plugging it into a usb port directly on the computer or a hub?
[22:32] <newkno> I can refer you to something I posted that explains things better than i can do here.
[22:32] <uRock> newkno, installing vbox, then installing ubuntu within is very easy
[22:32] <aeon-ltd> newkno: you can't have ext fs in a ntfs, you have to emulate with a VB like you said, or dual boot
[22:32] <newkno> just a moment...
[22:32] <uRock> you can't go wrong
[22:32] <newkno> Yes  And I want to know how to do those things.
[22:32] <duffydack> Pavel_10, md5sum the iso and then plug in the stick and cd into it and md5sum -c md5sum.txt
[22:32] <newkno> First, though, just for my own reasons, I want to install Ubuntu within Windoze.
[22:32] <uRock> rtm
[22:33] <newkno> I can't figure out how to do it.
[22:33] <opheron> somebody knows if the new ubuntu 10.10 has fixed the error unable unmount /cdrom during installation from another disk partition
[22:33] <newkno> The online docs are outdated.
[22:33] <uRock> !manual
[22:33] <uRock> is up to date
[22:33] <Manfred-> sorry, how could i leave the NickServ page ?
[22:33] <Pavel_10> scunizi, it didn't ask anything about the drive.  directly. duffydac, what is md5sum?
 - you mean it used to be possible to install Ubuntu within Windoze, but no longer is?
[22:34] <newkno> That's what the evidence is suggesting to me.
[22:34] <uRock> newkno, you either have to use wubi or VBox
[22:34] <uRock> or VM
[22:35] <newkno> uRock - I used wubi, but it doesn't have the option illustrated in the docs I was referred to by someone else.
[22:36] <aeon-ltd> newkno: feel free to tweak some settings but this is basically it http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/virtualbox
[22:36] <uRock> check out the new manual, there is a lot in it, do you want to install in a VM?
[22:36] <newkno> There is no "Install Inside Windows" option button presented, unlike what's shown on the web page.  Maybe it's because of what you said about the ext4 f.s. not being able to live inside an NTFS one.
[22:36] <newkno> Thanks, aeon-ltd.
[22:37] <uRock> If you have the disk in the drive and doubleclick the icon within WIndows, then it should offer an exe to install
[22:37] <galusr> Hi, I've an external drive I'm trying to copy to another drive. The drive I'm trying to copy to is mounted automatically via fstab but it only has root permissions. How can I add access for other users?
[22:37] <aeon-ltd> newkno: your welcome, i hope it works out :)
[22:37] <newkno> aeon-ltd & uRock, I was looking for an easy way to restore the MBR onto an internal drive in a laptop.
[22:37] <VintageRitz> Any ideas why I can't seem to burn a DVD. I'm using 10.04 on a Dell laptop, tried both Brasero and Gnomebaker. The programs go for a little while, then spit the disc out without burning. How can I find out what's going wrong and is there another channel that deals more specifically with those issues?
[22:37] <aeon-ltd> newkno: you might wanna ask in #windows
[22:37] <newkno> aeon-ltd & uRock, let me give you a URL where my situation is explained in detail...
[22:37] <bodwick> Manfred- what page?
[22:38] <Manfred-> bodwick: the one where the identify bot speak to me, /leave didn't work
[22:38] <unimatrix> very basic question: can I install both the 32-bit and 64-bit version of the same package? (let's say it's a library)
[22:39] <opheron> no
[22:39] <bodwick> Manfred-  ubuntu-unregistered or sth like that ?
[22:39] <aeon-ltd> Manfred-: you need the nickserv channel as long as your in freenode
[22:39] <Manfred-> bodwick: ubuntu/Nickserv
[22:39] <Loshki> Typh: use the 'split' command to split into pieces, then later use 'cat' to rejoin the pieces. Use md5sum to verify the new copy is identical to the original...
[22:39] <newkno> aeon-ltd & uRock, https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/124863
[22:39] <Manfred-> aeon-ltd: okay ;(
[22:40] <newkno> aeon-ltd - tnx!
[22:40] <Raptors> Does anyone have any recommendation for a CLI batch ID3 program?
[22:40] <Manfred-> aeon-ltd: thanks by the way
[22:40] <opheron> unimatrix the 64 bit processor only works in one way 32bit or 64 i think
[22:41] <unimatrix> opheron it can run either 32bit or 64bit, the problem is will Ubuntu allow me to keep both variations
[22:42] <th0r> unimatrix: you can't have both in the same os...but you can install the 32bit and 64bit os side by side and boot either one
[22:42] <unimatrix> opheron since some binaries do not exist in 64bit i need to get some 32bit libs, but obviously i can't remove the native 64bit libs because then everything else will stop working
[22:43] <opheron> unimatrix it  will create conflicts
[22:43] <mneptok> Raptors: http://more-cowbell.org/index.php/Main_Page
[22:43] <unimatrix> opheron this is probably the reason why 64bit still hasn't picked up well
[22:44] <opheron> unimatrix your processor supports virtualization
[22:44] <Loshki> !biarch | unimatrix I've never done it, but apparently it can be done:
[22:45] <uRock> How does one install the 32bit thunderbird on a 64bit Ubuntu?
[22:45] <Eyes_Only> Im haivng difficulty running a bash command, it outputs that the command isnt found (im not a noob when it comes to basic bash syntax)
[22:45] <lazybug2>  Hello i cant update my basic packages i have access to the internet wired/wireless
[22:45] <ectospasm> Eyes_Only: what's the command you're using?
[22:46] <Flannel> uRock: You can install 64bit thunderbird.  Why do you want 32bit thunderbird?
[22:46] <ectospasm> Eyes_Only: paste it if you need to
[22:46] <Eyes_Only> i dropped a symlink to adb in /usr/bin and tried running adb
[22:46] <uRock> Flannel, there is no 64bit thunderbird on the Mozilla page
[22:46] <ectospasm> Eyes_Only: what's the path to the symlink, and what's the command you're using?
[22:46] <aeon-ltd> Eyes_Only: wheres adb located?
[22:46] <Flannel> uRock: Is there anything wrong with the one in the repositories?
[22:46] <unimatrix> Loshki but I can already run 32bit stuff just fine, the problem arises when there is a library dependency and since the lib exists, but in 64bit, the software won't run
[22:46] <mneptok> Eyes_Only: just use the full path in the script
[22:46] <Eyes_Only> THEN when that didnt work, i used cd /path/to/adb and then ./adb
[22:47] <Flannel> uRock: (sudo apt-get install thunderbird)
[22:47] <uRock> flannel, no lightning support
[22:47] <Eyes_Only> and it still outputs that it wasnt found
[22:47] <Loshki> unimatrix: I haven
[22:47] <slooksterpsv> Question for anyone that can help regarding computer lagging, freezing, hanging, etc. on file copy operations
[22:47] <Loshki> unimatrix: I haven't done it myself, but I understand you can install compatibility libraries for 32 bit apps...
[22:48] <uRock> Flannel, no biggie, I was hoping to get lucky
[22:48] <Flannel> uRock: Hmm.  Lightning was dropped in Lucid.  Interesting.  Hold on, let me check the PPAs
[22:48] <ectospasm> Eyes_Only: is adb executable?
[22:48] <opheron> unimatrix thast why we need to think 64 bit its server only..., it be more easy install ubuntu 32 bit and wait to 64 bit
[22:49] <Eyes_Only> yes, ill even chmod 777d it
[22:49] <unimatrix> Loshki true, but sometimes they don't exist (for example libglut)
[22:49] <aeon-ltd> Eyes_Only: chmod -x it as well
[22:49] <Eyes_Only> yes
[22:49] <Eyes_Only> that too
[22:49] <uRock> Flannel, I am wondering why mozilla doesn't offer the 64bit forr it, when they have 3.1.3 in the 64bit 10.10
[22:49] <newkno> aeon-ltd - with regard to the page you referred me to - http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/virtualbox - it looks useful, but I want to do things inside out - to install Windoze underneath Linux - to boot into Ubuntu and then run Windoze underneath.  Makes more sense to me.
[22:49] <slooksterpsv> can someone pm me regarding file copy operations and lagging/hanging in ubuntu?
[22:49] <Loshki> unimatrix: you need more help than I can give you, sorry...
[22:49] <guntbert> !pm | slooksterpsv
[22:50] <ectospasm> Eyes_Only: what's the full path to the file you're trying to run?  You haven't specified that
[22:50] <Flannel> uRock: Yeah, that is strange too.  You might head over to #ubuntu-mozillateam and ask.  They'll probably know more about it, and what you can do to get TB and lightning
[22:50] <aeon-ltd> newkno: ok, but its roughly the same process :)
[22:50] <uRock> Flannel, will do, thanx
[22:50] <ectospasm> Eyes_Only: oh, yeah, and make sure the filesystem it's sitting on isn't mounted noexec
[22:50] <uRock> !cookie | Flannel =)
[22:50] <newkno> aeon-ltd: gotcha
[22:51] <slooksterpsv> @ubottu - ok
[22:51] <filo1234> newkno: but with wubi you can run windows or ubuntu once, not ever in the same time, or windows or ubuntu :D
[22:51] <newkno> aeon-ltd: had a chance to read the thing I posted?  I was just trying to find some way to make the internal drive bootable.  I'm sure there must be easier ways.  I'd even settle for a working GRUB in the MBR.
[22:51] <opheron> unimatrix may you can get libglut if you download the rpm package
[22:51] <Eyes_Only> hey, isnt the syntax for chmod: chmod -x 777 [file]
[22:52] <ectospasm> Eyes_Only: no
[22:52] <unimatrix> opheron why rpm?
[22:52] <Nach0z> filo1234: If you use VirtualBox by Sun you shuold be able to run them in integrated mode. side-by-side.  yes?
[22:52] <ectospasm> Eyes_Only: to make it executable, try this:  chmod +x <file>
[22:52] <filo1234> Nach0z: sure
[22:52] <aeon-ltd> Eyes_Only: no just do -x
[22:52] <opheron> unimatrix or maybe use this http://bioscreencastwiki.com/Compiling_pymol_from_subversion_for_64bit_ubuntu
[22:52] <bemis> apologies if this is covered in a FAQ somewhere - but I can't seem to find an answer -- 10.04 and 10.10 CDs on all of my systems (dual-head NVidia Quadro) result in screen in "power save mode" -- there is a kernel boot line option that disabled the frame buffer stuff which allowed me to install in the past, but I can't find the syntax - anyone have any ideas?
[22:52] <ectospasm> aeon-ltd: -x REMOVES executable bit!
[22:53] <awesome_guest> hi is there a freenode channel specifically dedicated to building computers?
[22:53] <Nach0z> okidoki. just thought i'd put in my two cents. in the meantime, i've got some questions and i didnt know where else to go. anyone here know how to use ubuntu to set up a server using a home desktop computer?
[22:53] <slooksterpsv> So when I copy files from an NTFS to EXT4, or EXT4 to NTFS (on same drive); my applications hang and I can't click anything until the copy operation is done - all windows gray out. I thought it may have been a kernel <IP_ADDRESS> issue, so I reverted back to <IP_ADDRESS> - it still happens. I'm trying to figure out what's going on, if its an issue with EXT4, NTFS in Linux, or something else like the kernel or mint.
[22:53] <filo1234> Nach0z: with vbox you can run all guest machines that you want....if have enought RAM
[22:53] <newkno> file1234: yes.  I know.  I don't want a dual-boot system, which is why something like VirtualBox is attractive.  (I've read it's easier to set up than Linux KVM and maybe just as good as VMware.)
[22:53] <Eyes_Only> how do i add a name to the front, been a while sinc ei was on here
[22:53] <th0r> awesome_guest: #hardware?
[22:53] <ectospasm> slooksterpsv: how big are the files?
[22:53] <awesome_guest> th0r: thanks
[22:53] <Nach0z> newkno: I've got experience with virtual PC's and i can tell you it is MUCH easier.
[22:53] <jsidhu> hey guys, is there a way to force a login to a specific user from the console? I know i can do it in the GUI/GDM, but I have a need to force a login from the console?
[22:53] <slooksterpsv> 9-20GB
[22:54] <guntbert> bemis: see http://www.backports.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1484385   does that help?
[22:54] <aeon-ltd> ectospasm: sorry +x my bad
[22:54] <newkno> NachOz:  Thanks.
[22:54] <Nach0z> no problema.
[22:54] <bemis> guntbert, not really - trying to do initial install - so no /etc/ to mangle files in
[22:54] <ectospasm> slooksterpsv: that's gonna take a while, depending on the speed of your disk
[22:54] <ectospasm> slooksterpsv: and I have the same problem
[22:54] <Eyes_Only> how do i add a target to my chat messages, i forget >.<
[22:55] <Nach0z> so is anyone in here familiar with setting up a home server usin ubuntu? i'm not really familiar with it at all and i dont know where else to ask xD
[22:55] <aeon-ltd> !tab | Eyes_Only
[22:55] <aeon-ltd> !who | Eyes_Only
[22:55] <newkno> NachOz: I have 1.5 GB of RAM.  I notice that the Ubuntu installer sets up an 8GB swap partition, which seems like overkill.  There must be a way to tweak such settings.
[22:55] <slooksterpsv> ectospasm: hmmm... ok... I was hoping maybe NTFS but then again virtualbox when installing vms causes it too so I dunno, maybe just wait till maverik meerkat comes out
[22:55] <Eyes_Only> aeon-ltd: ah thanks
[22:55] <guntbert> bemis: I see - as is stated there fb=false seem to work no more .... then I cannot help, sorry
[22:56] <ectospasm> slooksterpsv: heavy disk I/O will always slow your computer down.
[22:56] <slooksterpsv> ectospasm: it gets bad to where I can't move the mouse, like in the old days of Windows 98 lol
[22:56] <ectospasm> slooksterpsv: my trouble is, every so often, I get heavy disk I/O, and I can't figure out what is doing it
[22:56] <Nach0z> newkno: yeah. you can lower the install size i believe. and also, an 8gb partition has nothing to do with ram. and if you'r running in a VHD on VIrtualBox, it really doesnt matter what it's doing. it doesnt partition the actual harddrive.
[22:56] <filo1234> newkno: 8GB of swaps?? wasted!
[22:56] <ectospasm> slooksterpsv: maybe look into a better IDE/SATA controller (or get SCSI)
[22:56] <opheron> unimatrix some packages in 64 bit can be found in rpm format, and there is a utiity called rpmtodeb
[22:57] <slooksterpsv> ectospasm: its sata, on a laptop, gateway nv53 - running mint 9 64-bit; I think it's mint cause I don't remember having this issue in ubuntu
[22:57] <Eyes_Only> its still throwing bash: ./adb: No such file or directory
[22:57] <Mark0307> Hi, I'm kinda new to ubuntu, how would I go about installing drivers for my USB wireless adapter? I won't be able to access the internet on there otherwise...
[22:57] <bemis> kind of frustrating to not be able to install the LTS or the beta
[22:57] <unimatrix> opheron they can be found in deb format jus as easily, the problem is you can't install them without overriding the already-installed 64bit ones
[22:57] <ectospasm> slooksterpsv: I didn't have this problem until I upgraded to Lucid
[22:57] <th0r> Eyes_Only: are you sure it is giving that error for adb and not for something adb  is calling?
[22:58] <ectospasm> slooksterpsv: and I can't quantify it properly, so I can't file a bug
[22:58] <VintageRitz> bodwick: where can I find pastebin?
[22:58] <slooksterpsv> ectospasm: really? wow, I know mint doesn't get all the latest updates like Ubuntu, where Ubuntu gets "safe" updates - maybe I'll reformat to ubuntu and see if I can replicate the issue
[22:58] <opheron> maybe compilling in a diferent directory you know in the classic mode
[22:58] <jpds> !paste | VintageRitz
[22:58] <Eyes_Only> hmmm
[22:58] <Eyes_Only> yes
[22:58] <VintageRitz> jpds: thanks.

[22:59] <ectospasm> slooksterpsv: I'm running EXT4
[22:59] <duffydack> lucid uses ext4 by default.. only keeps ext3 when upgrading
[22:59] <filo1234> bubuzzz: alt+tab
[22:59] <bubuzzz> yup
[22:59] <opheron> mark0307 you need a tool called ndiswrapper
[22:59] <bubuzzz> i meant alt+tab
[22:59] <Eyes_Only> even with the proper parameters it throws the same message, its as if ubuntu refuses to acknowledge the executable is there
[22:59] <ectospasm> slooksterpsv: I thought I had narrowed it down to Ubuntu One syncdaemon, but turning that off didn't totally eliminate the problem.
[22:59] <bubuzzz> is there any way to do so withouth compiz
[23:00] <slooksterpsv> oh I thought ext3 was the default, my default installs on lucid always came out ext3 - I had to reformat a couple of times to get ext4
[23:00] <erUSUL> Mark0307: what wifi chip does the adapter has?
[23:00] <bemis> bubuzzz, as long as you're running a window manager you can typically do it - are you running metacity?

[23:00] <bubuzzz> turn off compiz most of the time coz i dont like the effect much

[23:05] <th0r> Eyes_Only: can you pastebin 'ls -l'
[23:05] <newkno> Nach0z: I don't know how you can say that the size of the swap partition has nothing to do with RAM.  If the size of the swap partition is a lot bigger than that of RAM, you can end up doing a lot of thrashing, unless a lot of what's sitting in swap is rarely used.
[23:05] <filo1234> sefiroth: originally linux = linux is not unix

[23:06] <jrib> pwrcycle: it does that already (in all of X)
[23:06] <Nach0z> newkno:  aight then, i have no idea. i'm not entirely sure how swap works, but i do know that i've got a computer running 1 Gb ram with a 10 Gb swap area, and VERY little decrease in performance.
[23:06] <erUSUL> pwrcycle: should be doing it already. that's a Xwindows thing works across all apps
[23:06] <Eyes_Only> ectospasm: that is the error message, bash is refusing to run the executable
[23:06] <pwrcycle> not working for me, where is the setting?
[23:06] <jrib> pwrcycle: you use middle click to paste or shift-insert if you want a keyboard shortcut
[23:06] <ectospasm> Eyes_Only: you're refusing to listen.  Paste the full command, and error, please.
[23:07] <yoyoned> Nach0z: too much swap will not hurt anything
[23:07] <pwrcycle> jrib: i can copy and past fine, it just doesn't copy automatically
[23:07] <ectospasm> Eyes_Only: you've said it yourself, you don't know how to do bash, and the exact error message can give clues as to what's going wrong.
[23:07] <eblume> Nach0z: newkno: swap size (shouldn't) ever slow down anything. USING swap will, but that is caused by using too much memory, not by having more swap.
[23:07] <erUSUL> yoyoned: Nach0z it will hust if you ever enter a "swap storm"

[23:08] <newkno> Nach0z:  You won't notice a performance decrease unless you've filled up RAM and have multiples of its size sitting in swap having to be actively brought in.  having to transfer stuff into and out of swap is called "thrashing," and it's a bad thing, since it forces long waits.
[23:08] <Nach0z> newkno: aight. again i dunno what swap is supposed to do really.
[23:08] <Eyes_Only> ectospasm: what exactly do you want me to paste? there is no more output from that command
[23:08] <th0r> Eyes_Only: is adb a binary or can you cat it to read it? If it is a bash script make sure it starts with #!/biin/sh
[23:08] <pwrcycle> jrib: ah, i see
[23:09] <jrib> pwrcycle: yeah, there are two clipboards
[23:09] <Eyes_Only> th0r: its a binary
[23:09] <justine777w> I need help with my media player. I can not put in dvds and play them because I receive an error.
[23:09] <ectospasm> Eyes_Only: select the entire command, plus error message!  How hard is that?
[23:09] <newkno> eblume - please see my note to NachOz.  I know all this stuff (I have a CS degree :) ).
[23:09] <eblume> Nach0z: a short explanation is that swap is 'virtual memory', a place where your computer can 'fake' having more RAM in case it runs out of memory. Otherwise, running out of memory would cause a crash, possibly a very big crash.
[23:09] <ectospasm> Eyes_Only: essentially, does the error start with "bash: adb:..." or "adb:..."?
[23:09] <guntbert> ectospasm: (idea) - maybe abd is a script and some command inside errs out...
[23:09] <eblume> The truth is  abit more complex.
[23:09] <Nach0z> eblume:  so page file memory in Windows.
[23:09] <pwrcycle> jrib: what is the keyboard combo = to middle click?
[23:09] <ectospasm> guntbert: my point exactly
[23:10] <Typh> Loshki: hmmm, split seems to be taking forever, but hopefully it's working :)
[23:10] <jrib> pwrcycle: there isn't one, but if you want to paste, use shift-insert
[23:10] <Eyes_Only> ectospasm: http://paste.ubuntu.com/491833/
[23:10] <Eyes_Only> i told you, there is no more output
[23:10] <pwrcycle> jrib: shift-insert != middle click for me
[23:11] <pwrcycle> jrib: shift-insert=ctrl-v
[23:11] <newkno> Anyway, the thing I really want to talk about is my current situation - I've lost the use of the bootloader on the internal drive on my laptop.   I accidentally logged off...did anyone answer me?
[23:11] <eblume> ping (room got silent)
[23:11] <jrib> pwrcycle: you mean it pastes the other clipboard?  maybe check your application's settings.  Personally, I use shift-insert
[23:11] <ectospasm> Eyes_Only: devices doesn't exist
[23:11] <VintageRitz> eblume: well, from me anyway, thanks. I've been wondering what swap was.
[23:11] <yoyoned> edoceo: from your pastbins adb is not a directory
[23:11] <Gnea> justine777w: no, what's the error?
[23:11] <jrib> pwrcycle: but you can also have X emulate middle clicks by pressing left and right at the same time
[23:11] <Eyes_Only> ectospasm: devices does exist, its the syntax of adb
[23:12] <ShrekLappy> !dvd | justine777w
[23:12] <eblume> netsplit?
[23:12] <justine777w> shreklappy: i am sorry, but i do not know what you mean
[23:12] <ShrekLappy> read ubottu's msg
[23:12] <ShrekLappy> he is a bot
[23:12] <Gnea> justine777w: what error did you get?
[23:12] <guntbert> Eyes_Only: what gives file adb ?
[23:12] <Gnea> ShrekLappy: watch and learn, young padewon
[23:12] <newkno> My most immediate need is to get a working loader into the MBR of the laptop's internal drive.
[23:13] <justine777w> gnea: that i have to download codecs...I tried to do that and it did not work
[23:13] <Eyes_Only> guntbert: android sdk
[23:13] <newkno> I wrote up the problem at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/124863
[23:13] <thune3> newkno: i take it you installed 10.04 not 10.04.1, since the default grub location was changed for 10.04.1 when using an external drive.
[23:13] <ShrekLappy> lol @ Gnea
[23:13] <Gnea> justine777w: it's possible it's not decrypting the dvd
[23:13] <newkno> Yes 10.04.
[23:13] <guntbert> Eyes_Only: no, please in CLI type: file adb
[23:14] <newkno> thune3: It seems that the installer wrote GRUB onto both devices.
[23:14] <justine777w> gnea: I will check, but it seems to do that to all of the dvds i put in
[23:14] <Eyes_Only> guntbert: one moment
[23:14] <ShrekLappy> Gnea, referencing a site that has all the info for the question is more of a jedi move imo
[23:14] <Gnea> justine777w: make sure your libdvdread is up to date
[23:14] <Eyes_Only> guntbert: http://paste.ubuntu.com/491834/
[23:14] <justine777w> gnea: how do i do that?
[23:14] <erUSUL> newkno: use a windows install disk to restore windows bootloader
[23:14] <thune3> newkno: is the overwritten MBR on internal drive supposed to be grub or windows?
[23:15] <erUSUL> newkno: boot into recovery console use « fixmbr »
[23:15] <ShrekLappy> justine777w, read what ubottu said to you, the first link has help for dvd's
[23:15] <Gnea> justine777w: update your system
[23:15] <ShrekLappy> Gnea, if it was never installed updating the system will not fix the issue
[23:15] <Gnea> ShrekLappy: not every problem can be solved simply by the docs. please stop that, I got this.
[23:15] <ShrekLappy> if i remember correctly ubuntu doesnt include it out of the box
[23:15] <ShrekLappy> unless that has changed
[23:15] <justine777w> gnea: i am not quite sure what you are talking about
[23:15] <newkno> thune3: It started out being a Win7 bootloader, but without asking, the Ubuntu installer scribbled GRUB on top of it - as well as to the backup sector.
[23:15] <erUSUL> newkno: why you did not installed ubuntu in a Vbox running in windows?
[23:15] <needlez__> hey can anyone on here help me with selecting a program for making avi files into iso files on linux or into a dvd for my dvd player besides the program Devede
[23:15] <justine777w> shreklappy: i am reading that now
[23:15] <Gnea> justine777w: are you familiar with the apt-get or aptitude commands/
[23:16] <justine777w> gnea: i know apt-get
[23:16] <Gnea> justine777w: ok, so just suto apt-get update & dist-upgrade
[23:16] <Gnea> er, sudo
[23:16] <ShrekLappy> a dist upgrade for dvd's not playing
[23:16] <ShrekLappy> i woudl not do that
[23:16] <Gnea> don't care what you'd do
[23:16] <ShrekLappy> dude, thats ridiculous
[23:16] <justine777w> skreklappy: how would i do that?
[23:16] <Gnea> if you can't be helpful, then don't talk
[23:17] <newkno> erUSUL:  It was because I was only researching VirtualBox at that time - I just wanted to start by installing Ubuntu, since what I had read about VBox led me to think I'd have to start there.
[23:17] <ShrekLappy> dude, you are going to put them through all that cuz a dvd wont play? this insane. read the docs, installed the proper package and go on with your life
[23:17] <thune3> newkno: there is a section where the installer shows you the location where grub will be installed, and allows you to change it. But the default is the primary drive (for 10.04). erUSUL's instructions should help you restore.
[23:17] <Gnea> !attitude | ShrekLappy
[23:17] <Eyes_Only> ShrekLappy: Gnea: This is a support channel, not an argument channel, if you wish to argue go elsewhere
[23:17] <yoyoned> needlez__: http://www.rastersoft.com/programas/devede.html
[23:18] <Gnea> Eyes_Only: that's enough.
[23:18] <Chives> sup guys
[23:18] <LorgonJortle> Hi!
[23:18] <newkno> thune3:  I must have missed erUSUL's instructions - this channel is too busy to keep up!  :)
[23:18] <justine777w> gnea: okay i did all that. it says 0 for everything
[23:18] <Gnea> justine777w: so nothing was upgraded?
[23:18] <guntbert> Eyes_Only: strange - it is a binary file, not a script, but the error looks like one from a script, I give up - sorry
[23:19] <ShrekLappy> justine777w, sudo apt-get install libdvdread4
[23:19] <justine777w> gnea: no apparently not according to the outcome
[23:19] <Eyes_Only> guntbert: thus is the story of my life
[23:19] <Gnea> justine777w: do you want 2 people helping you or just one? I can leave...
[23:19] <needlez__> yoyoned i already have devede, i just have an issue with devede cuz it fails to use all my computers cores even on multicore function, thats why im trying to find something a little better or nicer like convertxtodvd which only exists on windows
[23:19] <LorgonJortle> I've timidity installed, but midi output isn't producing sound. Ideas for troubleshooting? And how can I check that timidity is working properly?
[23:19] <newkno> erUSUL & thune3:  I don't have a Windoze install disk.  It's a new laptop (HP/Compaq), and didn't come with any disks.  :-(
[23:20] <justine777w> gnea: i do not mind, but i just want it to be able to work. I appreciate all the help I can get.
[23:20] <Gnea> justine777w: no problem, I could tell that just a simple RTFM wouldn't do the trick, so okay
[23:20] <newkno> erUSUL & thune3:  I don't really need the original loader - I'd settle for GRUB, but it has to be able to know about the systems that can be booted into.
[23:20] <erUSUL> newkno: found this http://robert.penz.name/221/mini-howto-restore-windows-mbrbootloader-with-linux/
[23:20] <justine777w> skreklappy: it says that it is already the newest version
[23:20] <Nach0z> isis anyone here familiar with Apache in Ubuntu?
[23:20] <guntbert> Eyes_Only: maybe you can get the developers of adb to tell you what that output means - because when you try to exect
[23:20] <newkno> erUSUL - does it depend upon having a Win disk?
[23:20] <justine777w> gnea: what would you recommend?
[23:20] <Gnea> justine777w: check out /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/
[23:20] <guntbert> Eyes_Only: maybe you can get the developers of adb to tell you what that output means - because when you try to execute a nonexisting file you get a different error
[23:20] <Gnea> justine777w: there should be a file there...
[23:21] <erUSUL> newkno: no; are instructions to do it from a linux system
[23:21] <justine777w> gnea: how would i go about doing that?
[23:21] <newkno> I found a "TestDisk" util, but it depends on there being a good backup in the alternate boot sector.
[23:21] <Gnea> justine777w: do you know how to use cd and ls/
[23:21] <newkno> erUSUL:  I'll take a look.  Tnx.
[23:21] <needlez__> also does anyone know how to get a dell v505 printer to work on ubuntu 10.10 ?
[23:21] <Nach0z> no apache people in here? trying to set up a server in Ubuntu....
[23:21] <justine777w> gnea: kind of. I have done it once before but I am not sure if I remember all the steps
[23:22] <Eyes_Only> guntbert: i know its an executable, but its as if the portion of bash that executes things sits there and says "NO U!". and its a google application.
[23:22] <ShrekLappy> justine777w, from what im reading you may need to do: sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
[23:22] <ShrekLappy> and possibly reboot
[23:22] <ShrekLappy> ok im out then, i bet that made Gnea mad
[23:22] <LorgonJortle> timidity is running, but I'm not getting midi output. Any ideas?
[23:22] <Gnea> justine777w: well, cd is just short for 'change directory' , so cd /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/
[23:22] <egsome> Nach0z, What problems do you face ?
[23:23] <Nach0z> egsome: I have little experience in ubuntu, to start with. and although apache is in the distro download manager thingy, i have NO idea how to set it up.
[23:23] <justine777w> gnea: okay now what?
[23:23] <Gnea> justine777w: now use ls
[23:23] <erUSUL> !lamp | Nach0z
[23:23] <egsome> Nach0z, `sudo apt-get install apache2` is enough
[23:23] <guntbert> Eyes_Only: no, it gets executed alright - if you type ./xxy you get a slightly different error - but then something goes wrong
[23:23] <Gnea> justine777w: it's like dir - shows files
[23:23] <Nach0z> egsome: uh, where do i put that :|
[23:23] <egsome> Nach0z, And if you need, you can also `sudo apt-get install php5 mysql-server php5-mysql` ans so on ..
[23:23] <justine777w> gnea: do you want me to show you the outcome?
[23:24] <pwrcycle> what is the eq of middle button, on a two button mouse?
[23:24] <egsome> Nach0z, In the terminal ( Applications menu > Accessories > Terminal )
[23:24] <Nach0z> ... ah. ok. thanks. brb
[23:24] <erUSUL> pwrcycle: both buttons at the same time
[23:24] <Gnea> justine777w: actually, we're just looking for one file, one that a previous noob attempted to point out by assuming you knew what you were doing
[23:24] <LorgonJortle> pwrcycle: CTRL+Click
[23:24] <egsome> Nach0z, OK
[23:24] <justine777w> gnea: and what file would that be?
[23:24] <pwrcycle> erUSUL: LorgonJortle thnx
[23:25] <Gnea> justine777w: ought to be a shell script, should end with .sh
[23:25] <justine777w> gnea: i dont see anything like that.
[23:25] <hcook> howdy
[23:25] <guntbert> !noob > Gnea
[23:25] <justine777w> gnea: sorry yes i do.. it says install-css.sh
[23:25] <LorgonJortle> any idea why timidity is running, but I'd no midi output?
[23:26] <Gnea> guntbert: oh, yeah, heh, sorry
[23:26] <newkno> erUSUL:  I'm rather scared of using such a procedure.  There are too many unknowns involved.  I'd prefer to just install GRUB, but it needs some additional files that define the systems that are available, and their locations.
[23:26] <Nach0z> egsome: could you elaborate on that last one a bit please? also, if we need to goto PM i can do that, the channel seems a bit clogged...
[23:26] <erUSUL> newkno: the files are in the ubuntu install ...
[23:26] <Gnea> guntbert: gets a bit annoying when some people assume that I don't know what I'm talking about
[23:26] <Nach0z> egsome: could you elaborate on that last one a bit please? also, if we need to goto PM i can do that, the channel seems a bit clogged...
[23:26] <Nach0z> .... i think my IRC is brokle
[23:27] <newkno> erUSUL: I don't know where those GRUB files would get written on an NTFS file system - do you?
[23:27] <Eyes_Only> i will make a post in the forums and lurk around the android development community for help, ttyl
[23:27] <mado> nice new security mechanism :)
[23:27] <Gnea> justine777w: okay, you should be able to run it like this:  sudo ./install-css.sh
[23:27] <Nach0z> oh. nevermind. it just wasnt scrolling down...
[23:27] <jsidhu> i need a image viewer (transition effects nice, but not required) for a slideshow.. I want to loop thru a set of images non-stop 24x7.. is there a viewer that will do this? I have been googling but havnt come across anything yet.. the screensaver that comes with gnome wont work as i cant specify the duration of each image.. dont need pan/zoom etc etc..
[23:27] <erUSUL> newkno: the files where not written to the windows partition. they are in the ubuntu install in the external disk
[23:28] <justine777w> gnea: okay i ran it and i think it installed it...
[23:28] <itsjustme> I have been trying all day to fix this and nobody seems to help me.. I cannot use the mouse or anything else to see the windows on the window switcher on the taskbar.  I see the email icon on desktop 2 but when trying to left click on it, the desktop doesn't switch.. Can someone help me  Using 10.4 gnome
[23:28] <erUSUL> jsidhu: gthumb?
[23:28] <newkno> erUSUL:  I don't want to have to have the external disk plugged in in order to boot into Windoze.
[23:28] <Gnea> justine777w: okay, try to play a dvd now
[23:28] <egsome> Nach0z, What will you use Apache web server for ?
[23:28] <hcook> anybody know what might make the 10.04 installer ridiculously slow? from the time i clicked next after choosing my time zone to when it presented the next screen took 12 minutes...on a core 2 duo w/ 4GB ram...then i chose my keyboard and l'm still waiting for the next screen and it's been ten minutes so far
[23:28] <hcook> it ran fine with 9.10
[23:28] <Nach0z> egsome: i want to actually set up my own server at my house here.
[23:28] <egsome> Nach0z, If you need only to offer HTML and JavaScript pages ( Static Website ), So installing `apache2` is enough
[23:29] <erUSUL> newkno: well; i gave you two options already to fix the issue...
[23:29] <itsjustme> hcook I would reboot the sys after a min to reset
[23:29] <Nach0z> egsome: i'm also gonna need PHP. and probably CSS and whatever else rolls in with that stuff.
[23:29] <egsome> Nach0z, If you need dynamic websites ( PHP & MySQL ), You'd need also `php5 & mysql-server & php5-mysql`
[23:29] <mkcpys> where can I find instructions for installing restricted extras and other stuff in 64-bit v or Ubuntu?
[23:29] <justine777w> gnea: that seemed to work just fine.
[23:29] <Gnea> justine777w: enjoy :)
[23:29] <egsome> Nach0z, So, do `sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql-server php5-mysql`
[23:29] <needlez__> anyone got any ideas on how to install a v505 dell printer in linux ubuntu 10.10?? the site doesnt have drivers past 8.04 and doesnt support 64bit systems which i run... any help would be very helpful
[23:29] <Nach0z> egsome: just standard coding pages. also i'm trying to double it as an IRC server on another port, so i'll have to keep looking in that...
[23:29] <erUSUL> mkcpys: it is the same in all versions of ubuntu
