[13:40] <alex_21> Anyone?
[13:40] <Mal3ko> norbert79: why ubuntu takes all my memory when i launch a program?
[13:40] <icewolfca> Myrtti: pardon?
[13:40] <Myrtti> !cli | alex_21
[13:40] <alex_21> Anyone?
[13:41] <Myrtti> icewolfca: Hong Kong and Taiwan have their own loco chapters.
[13:41] <piasdom> g'mornin all
[13:41] <tomcheng76> Mal3ko: what problem u launched?
[13:41] <norbert79> Mal3ko: Good question, depends the ammount of RAM in your PC, the application you start...
[13:41] <Myrtti> icewolfca: -hk and -tw are for those
[13:41] <snek> Mal3ko: post the output from: free -m
[13:41] <icewolfca> Myrtti: is it because HK for example uses traditional chinese?
[13:41] <Myrtti> icewolfca: I wouldn't know
[13:41] <alex_21> I can't use a front end theme manager, but I want to make my gdm login look like a Mac username - password style login. Can anyone walk me through set up via the command lne interface? I am blind, so help doing this visual stuff is appreciated greatly
[13:41] <piasdom> how do i remount usb in hardy without restarting ubuntu ?
[13:42] <Mal3ko> norbert79: im pretty the program just take less than 200MB..i had like 1800MB free, then after i launched it, my free ram drop to ~200MB
[13:42] <icewolfca> are there any public chat rooms on freenode I can use?
[13:42] <tomcheng76> alex_21: you can juse drag and drop your theme in gdmsetup
[13:43] <werdnum> icewolfca: try #defocus, ##socialites
[13:43] <norbert79> Mal3ko: You have to be a bit more specific, because this can be caused either by the application,l or anything else
[13:43] <Myrtti> icewolfca: /msg alis help
[13:43] <icewolfca> wow never heard of those ones :0 THANKS :)
[13:43] <feroz> anyone knows how to chmod /dev/bus/usb/xxx using udev rules?
 I can't, since I am blind
[13:43] <Mal3ko> but i notice that those missing free memory mostly goes to "cached"
 CLI is the only way
[13:43] <snek> Mal3ko: "free" ram is not the same under Linux as it is under Windows
[13:43] <slayton> Atheros has announced it is releasing their drivers as open source! FTW!
[13:44] <icewolfca> alex_21: so you use a text to speech application?
 let me find out where is the directory for the theme :)
[13:44] <Mal3ko> snek: yea? im faily new with linux and i dont know much how ubuntu manages memory
[13:44] <snek> Mal3ko: that's why i asked for the output of "free -m" you want to look at the second row of numbers.. that's what you are used to
[13:44] <norbert79> I guess thats /usr/share/themes or /usr/share/gdm

 Yes, on a Mac, my native OS, but I maintain Ubuntu/Kbuntu/Xubuntu servers/desktops
[13:45] <snek> so i have 387mb used, and 1128 free
[13:45] <talntid> holy crap. that's a lot of memory usage :)
[13:45] <talntid> is that on a thin client?
[13:45] <Mal3ko> chill out FloodBot2
[13:45] <snek> err no that's my home download box :)
[13:45] <talntid> oh, was gonna say....
[13:45] <snek> crappy old system scraped together from old parts
[13:45] <talntid> heh
[13:45] <dietwater> Is there any way to run LAMP whilst offline?  I don't see why my apache must be online.
[13:45] <Mal3ko> snek: here
[13:45] <lfaraone> Hi, I am able to load GDM, but when I log in the background is relplaced with a white screen. I am still able to move the mouse, and when I restart X with C-A-B it loads GDM properly.

[13:46] <Cacheaway> Is there a way to determine which package a specific file came from?  for example, I have /usr/bin/dot and I want to tell my friend which package to install to get it
[13:47] <slayton> Cacheaway, what file is it?
[13:47] <norbert79> Cacheaway: apt-cache should be used for package rtelated info...
 I need help in visually finding the right one that I need for this. Under OS X there is two logins, one with username and password text boxes and one with Icons. It is the first one I want
[13:47] <Cacheaway>  /usr/bin/dot
[13:47] <dietwater> It's not working.  Weird.
[13:47] <dietwater> Ah, apache2.
[13:47] <snek> Mal3ko: sorry was on the phone.. i am at work :)
[13:48] <snek> Mal3ko: that means you have 564mb used, and 1448mb free
[13:48] <slayton> Cacheaway, sudo apt-get install gaphviz
[13:48] <tomcheng76> alex_21: i think i have :)
[13:48] <dietwater> It failed.
[13:48] <dietwater> unable to open logs [fail]
[13:48] <Cacheaway> slayton: i didn't know dot was part of graphviz
[13:48] <lfaraone> snek: wait, what?  Mem:          2013       1784        228
[13:48] <lfaraone> snek: she/he has 228 free.
[13:48] <alex_21> I need help in visually finding the right one that I need for this. Under OS X there is two logins, one with username and password text boxes and one with Icons. It is the first one I want
[13:48] <slayton> Cacheaway, if you type: dot at the command line you get: The program 'dot' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:sudo apt-get install graphviz
[13:49] <snek> you want to read this line: /+ buffers/cache:        564      1448
[13:49] <Cacheaway> slayton: is there a command you used to determine this, or was that in your noggin already?
[13:49] <ThrashMetal> Hi, i'll installed Ubuntu 8.10. I'll installed graphic card driver and reboot but my resulation changed and my monitor cannot display this heartz.
[13:49] <slayton> Cacheaway, ^
 :  you tried automatically login ?
[13:49] <lfaraone> alex_21: that's what you already have by default...
[13:49] <ThrashMetal> i'm installed weechat in console but how do i change resolution and heartz in console ?
[13:49] <snek> at least, that's the way i learnt to read the memory under Linux
[13:49] <piasdom> how do i remount usb in hardy without restarting ubuntu ?
[13:49] <sfears> i'm having trouble mounting a digital camera that i see listed in lsusb
[13:50] <ThrashMetal> i'm lookin xorg.conf but i don't see resolution section xorg.conf
[13:50] <bashca> No LSB modules are available.
[13:50] <bashca>
[13:50] <lfaraone> piasdom: you either remove and reinsert the disk, or do "sudo mount /dev/DEVICE /media/PLACE/TO/MOUNT"
[13:50] <bashca> how can resolve it
[13:50] <alex_21> I don't need auto login. These aren't machines I use on a regular basis myself, rather those I support. They are multyuser machines though
[13:50] <Mal3ko> snek: oh isee..so we look at buffer/cache row huh?
[13:50] <dietwater> How do I startup apache?  /etc/init.d/apache2 start.  Is not working.
[13:50] <Mal3ko> thanks :)
[13:50] <bashca> lsb_release dosn't work
[13:50] <lfaraone> bashca: You need to give us more information on this problem. What's the context.
[13:50] <piasdom> ifaraone:Thanks
[13:50] <core4> bandung
[13:50] <lfaraone> snek: iirc, you just look at the _first_ line....
[13:51] <snek> yeah that's the ram you are used to from Windows ;)
[13:51] <bashca> lsb_release  dosn't work
[13:51] <lfaraone> dietwater: what error do you get?
[13:51] <lfaraone> bashca: still not enough context. how does it not work?
[13:51] <dietwater> Unable to open logs.  [fai;]
[13:51] <dietwater> *fail
[13:51] <lfaraone> dietwater: Hm. No idea. You've changed something, which caused it to not work. Undo whatever it was that you did.

[13:52] <tomcheng76> alex_21 : Ubuntu default login screen contains the two textbox u said before
[13:52] <snek> Mal3ko / lfaraone: I am refering to the way XP shows memory usage.. Vista is different once again since it uses hefty caching using Prefetch or whatever it's called and that resembles the way Linux uses the memory a bit more..
[13:52] <dietwater> I did nothing lol.
[13:52] <bashca> sorry
[13:52] <lfaraone> alex_21: with icons, you mean?
[13:52] <dietwater> It works when I go online.
[13:52] <lfaraone> dietwater: No idea then.
[13:52] <ndlovu> alex_21, have you looked at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Accessibility/doc/Guide? there's some information on 'Making the Login Accessible' if that helps?
[13:52] <snek> dietwater: do the log dirs you are pointing to exist and are the owned by the write user?
[13:53] <snek> they* and right*... lol
[13:53] <ddgoose> Cacheaway, dpkg -S /usr/bin/dot
[13:53] <dietwater> I sudo'd it and it said "apache2:  could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified donain name.  using <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:53] <snek> dietwater: that's not too bad, it won't shutdown the server because of that
[13:54] <lfaraone> dietwater: that's not a problem, just ignore that.
[13:54] <Cacheaway> ddgoose: thank you
 I ned it to look like, ... Oh, ... the Mac OS X non-ICon login screen, you know, with that little window and the two text boxes in it
[13:54] <ddgoose> Cacheaway, no problem
[13:55] <lfaraone> alex_21: well, you _can_ design a custom login screen, or just use the default. which has two boxes, but not shown at the same time.
[13:55] <lfaraone> alex_21: configure the login screen in system>admin>login
[13:55] <KDB9000> I am having some trouble playing a youtube flv file using vlc. I know this isn't an IRC for vlc but it is better then nothing. It comes up with an error saying it does not support undf. I am not sure what is wrong as it worked with the flv format before and just stopped all of a sudden. Even the videos that did work won't. What is wrong?
[13:56] <alex_21> So I thought someone desinged that kind of a Mac clone login
[13:56] <lfaraone> KDB9000: Try /join #videolan
[13:56] <dietwater> snek: It said (13)permission denied: make_sock could not bind to address [::]:90
[13:56] <dietwater> also same thing with <IP_ADDRESS>:80
[13:56] <lfaraone> alex_21: Maybe. In which case google is your friend.
[13:56] <lfaraone> dietwater: sudo ifconfig lo up
[13:56] <KDB9000> lfaraone, there is an VLC IRC?
[13:56] <dietwater> lfaraone: and then?
[13:56] <snek> lfaraone: you can close down loopback? haha.. didn't know that
[13:56] <alex_21> I got results, but they require use of the theme manager
[13:57] <lfaraone> KDB9000: yes.
[13:57] <snek> dietwater: and then try again :)
[13:57] <lfaraone> alex_21: ok...
[13:57] <dietwater> snek: Lmao kk.
[13:57] <lfaraone> dietwater: and then try and sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[13:57] <norbert79> alex_21: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/OSX+Session+Login?content=68346
[13:57] <matic> Hi all, my swap refuses to activate during the booting stage, I recreate it again and it works, but when i reboot the machine, it deactivates again! is there a way I can make it permanent that I do not have to recreate again? Please help
[13:57] <norbert79> alex_21: I think this is the one you are looking for
[13:57] <snek> matic: you might have to add it to your /etc/fstab file
[13:57] <dietwater> It still is downloading the file instead of running it
[13:58] <lfaraone> dietwater: wait, what?
[13:58] <erbi> jrib: when you said you use the normal flash-nonfree, obviously this isnt the native 64bit flash player. im on adobe's site and the site says "To use Flash Player to view Flash content on a 64-bit operating system, you must run a 32-bit browser". according to what the adobe site says, since your running flash on your firefox, your firefox must be a 32bit correct ?
[13:58] <snek> dietwater: lol.. that's a different problem
[13:58] <lfaraone> dietwater: you have to run the command in the console.
[13:58] <dietwater> hm?
[13:58] <PeskyJ> DjViper: I've been looking around, MlView looks like it's a pretty good one, but doesn't look as if you can easily develop/edit the schema at the same time - do you know of any graphical editors where you can do that?
[13:58] <matic> snek, it's already there
[13:58] <dietwater> When I'm online it runs instead
[13:58] <lfaraone> dietwater: ok, go to applications> accessories> terminal
[13:58] <dietwater> When I'm offline it tries to dl
[13:58] <dietwater> done
[13:58] <lfaraone> dietwater: now type in that command.
[13:59]  * Markopotomus just can't get ubuntu to install. Just about to attempt take 4
[13:59] <snek> matic: it doesn't come back when you do a "sudo mount -a"
[13:59] <alex_21> I think so
[13:59] <matic> snek, yeah
[13:59] <dietwater> what command?
[13:59] <lfaraone> Markopotomus: you have to give more details if you want assitance.
[13:59] <dietwater> firefox /var/www/...?
[13:59] <alex_21> But now how do you install it from the command line
[13:59] <lfaraone> dietwater: "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart"
[13:59] <snek> matic: it does or doesn't come back up?
[13:59] <monstro> Hi all,
[13:59] <lfaraone> alex_21: I don't know, you'll have to look at the docs for that package.
[13:59] <monstro> How to configure wifi in mode ad-hoc from ubuntu?
[13:59] <monstro> How to configure wifi in mode ad-hoc from ubuntu?
[13:59] <dietwater> lfaraone: hm?
[13:59] <monstro> oops
[13:59] <FloodBot2> monstro: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:00] <lfaraone> dietwater: ok, run that command in the terminal.
[14:00] <norbert79> alex_21: Download the file, extract it's contents, and copy the theme with it's directory to /usr/share/gdm/themes
[14:00] <monstro> FloodBot1, sorry
[14:00] <dietwater> What is "that" command lmao.
[14:00] <lfaraone> dietwater: then browse to "http://localhost/"
[14:00] <dietwater> Oh.
[14:00] <lfaraone> dietwater: you don't browse to "/var/www".... heh
[14:00] <snek> hehehe
[14:00] <alex_21> Ok, so I wget the url you gave me?
[14:00] <lfaraone> alex_21: Yes
[14:00] <matic> snek, actually the partition is there but it's inactive and when you use free it just shows 0 for all parameters
[14:00] <dietwater> It gives me offline mode
[14:00] <n8tuser> monstah-> sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode Ad-HOc
[14:00] <lfaraone> dietwater: disable offline mode.
[14:00] <dietwater> When I do localhost after apache2 restart
[14:01] <dietwater> Hm?
[14:01] <lfaraone> dietwater: yes.
[14:01] <monstro> n8tuser, yeah
[14:01] <snek> matic: you have to enable the swap then i think.. one sec
[14:01] <dietwater> Disable offline mode?
[14:01] <lfaraone> dietwater: in ff, go to File>Work Offline and make sure it is unchecked.
[14:01] <dietwater> LMFAO
[14:01] <dietwater> I love lamp.
[14:01] <dmulholland> how can i check the CPU temp in ubuntu (it's a Xeon system)
[14:01] <lfaraone> dietwater: ...
[14:01] <dietwater> That is the greatest gotcha ever.
[14:01] <lfaraone> dmulholland: using a GUI or a command line?
[14:02] <co_culu2> eko_jeck
[14:02] <dmulholland> lfaraone, command line
[14:02] <matic> dietwater, for anything heavy do not try lamp
[14:02] <lfaraone> dmulholland: Firefox assumes that you arn't able to access the internet if only the local loopback is online.
[14:02] <snek> matic: sudo swapon /dev/sdXXXXXX
[14:02] <dietwater> why not?
[14:02] <lfaraone> matic: why not? LAMP works fine for me... (although it's Python in my case :P )
[14:02] <dietwater> What else?
[14:02] <dmulholland> lfaraone, im sure that wasnt for me?!
[14:02] <lfaraone> dmulholland: ooops, yeah
[14:03] <SOURdiesel> how come theres no option to remove menu's on DeVeDE 3.x in Intrepid?
[14:03] <lfaraone> dietwater: Firefox assumes that you arn't able to access the internet if only the local loopback is online.
[14:03] <Markopotomus> lfaraone: well, I was getting an error 15 loader from grub. I formated the hard drive and then reinstalled ubuntu, setting partitions for /boot, /, swap and home. After that grub wouldn't even load. It just said "os error" or something.
[14:03] <alex_21> It says that OSX+Session+Login is not a directory
[14:03] <dietwater> Gotcha.
[14:03] <dietwater> I understand that.
[14:03] <lfaraone> alex_21: what is the command you are using?
[14:03] <dietwater> But why not use lamp to test big stuff?
[14:03] <matic> snek, I have done all that already, I have searched in google and realised it's like a common bug in Hardy so will continue checking
[14:03] <snek> Markopotomus: are you installing on a single harddisk system?
[14:03] <snek> matic: ok, didn't realise :)
[14:03] <lfaraone> dietwater: No cle. matic: Why not, eh?
[14:03] <lfaraone> *clue
[14:04] <dietwater> So what I use instead?
[14:04] <norbert79> alex_21: Ok, first, download the file. http://www.deviantart.com/download/104918045/Apple_Mac_OSX_Session_Login_by_onedread.gz ,
[14:04] <lfaraone> Hey, anybody know how to get past the white-screen-of-death?
[14:04] <dmulholland> how can i check the CPU temp in ubuntu (it's a Xeon system)
[14:04] <lfaraone> dietwater: Nothing, LAMP should be fine for your needs.
[14:04] <dietwater> Okay?  lol ty.
[14:04] <alex_21> wget, and then the url you gave me. and then I try to cd into OSX+Session+Login
[14:04] <lfaraone> !repeat > dmulholland
[14:04] <tomcheng76> lfaraone: didnt try before :)
[14:04] <Markopotomus> snek; Im installing on a 400gb SATA drive but there are also two IDE drives. I'm not using them for the instalation though. The
[14:05] <norbert79> alex_21: Wait, you are right, something is not right
[14:05] <snek> markopotomus: it could be ubuntu is seeing another drive as the primary hdd.. and thus installing grub on the wrong drive
[14:05] <snek> i had the same problem
[14:05] <norbert79> alex_21: it seems it is not a generic GDM theme, let me find out what it is
[14:05] <Markopotomus> snek erk I see
[14:05] <norbert79> alex_21: ok, download the file first
[14:06] <snek> markopotomus: the easiest way to fix this is by disconnecting the other drives during installation of ubuntu.. so you only leave in the one you want to boot from
[14:06] <norbert79> alex_21: then run gzip -d Apple_Mac_OSX_Session_Login_by_onedread.gz
[14:06] <[c0re]> hey which one is the best dock? cairo dock or avn dock?
[14:06] <Markopotomus> snek: I'll try that now.
[14:06] <norbert79> alex_21: you will get a file, named Apple_Mac_OSX_Session_Login_by_onedread

[14:06] <norbert79> alex_21: This is a tar file
[14:06] <norbert79> alex_21: you can extract the tar file using tar -xf Apple_Mac_OSX_Session_Login_by_onedread
[14:07] <alex_21> I get a 403 forbidden when wget http://www.deviantart.com/download/104918045/Apple_Mac_OSX_Session_Login_by_onedread.gz is run
[14:07] <ndlovu> alex_21, I think the download link is http://fc58.deviantart.com/fs39/f/2008/334/c/8/Apple_Mac_OSX_Session_Login_by_onedread.gz
[14:07] <Markopotomus> snek - actually I'll just disable PATA support in the bios
[14:07] <snek> hmm that could work :)
[14:07] <zamba> i'm using 'diff' on two very large files and getting an error about memory exhausted.. what can i do?
[14:07] <Markopotomus> *fingers crossed*
[14:07] <lfaraone> zamba: get mroe ram, or close other applications :)
[14:08] <Sinister`> when i seed 10 or 15 torrents it uses too much cpu% in ktorent anyone know how to fix it or whats wrong ?
[14:08] <norbert79> alex_21: follow ndlovu's link... when you have the file, and ungzipped and untarred it, you will get a directory called "osx-login"... you8 have to copy this whole directory to /usr/share/gdm/themes
[14:08] <tomcheng76> cut the file using head ?
[14:08] <leohartx> how do i complete remove "sun xvm virtualbox" ?
[14:08] <overrider> hello, it seems that the only mirrors with reasonable speed for me do not carry the newest sources for 8.10 yet. is this something they choose, or will it take some time to propagate down to them, from wherever they get their stuff? thanks
[14:09] <SOURdiesel> does anyone use DeVeDe with Intrepid?
[14:09] <Sinister`> i do
[14:10] <snek> overrider: mirrors should be rsynced at times the maintainers determined.. so yeah, could be a while for some.. also depends on their downspeed etc
[14:10] <lfaraone> snek: Seed less torents.
[14:10] <SOURdiesel> Sinister': how do you remove the menu option?
[14:10] <overrider> snek, alright, so i guess waiting two weeks or so to make sure will not kill me
[14:10] <snek> lfaraone: what? wrong person haha
[14:10] <lfaraone> leohartx: sudo apt-get purge APPLICTIONS_GO_HERE
[14:10] <lfaraone> snek: yeah... sorry.
[14:10] <lfaraone> Sinister`: seed less torrents.
[14:10] <tomcheng76> leohartx: APPLICATION is "virtualbox-2.0"
[14:11] <snek> overrider have you tried using the official local ubuntu repository?
[14:11] <leohartx> ifaraone, i think it's sudo apt-get remove --purge virtualbox
[14:11] <matic> dietwater, I prefer setting my own webserver, download all the tools you need and set them up yourself, lamp come with it's own configuration which can mess up if you try to tweak them- Linux/Unix are so flexible that you can create what you want
[14:11] <overrider> snek, yeah, and at the current rate it will take me 1 day and 8 hours to finish downloading.
[14:11] <overrider> snek, trouble is i got to work tomorrow
[14:11] <snek> for local? hmmm
[14:11] <snek> what country are you in?
[14:11] <lfaraone> leohartx: it's L, not I, and it actually is "purge", but either should work, I think
[14:12] <overrider> snek, china, and there are 3 mirrors which basically work awesome, if they have the goods
[14:12] <snek> aha ok that explains it a bit :)
[14:12] <lfaraone> matic: the ubuntu "lamp" install is basically a sudo apt-get... so no inflexability there.
[14:12] <Sinister`> get rid of menu all together ?
[14:12] <leohartx> tomcheng76, thank you, final i get it's name :)
[14:12] <overrider> snek, :-)
[14:12] <Sinister`>  do you just want it to start ?
[14:12] <hwilde> anybody here an ssh port forwarding expert?  I have all these leftover sshds...
[14:12] <Markopotomus> Could someone confirm for me what the optimal partition arangement should be for ubuntu? Last time I had partitions aranged in this order; /boot - 2gigs, / - 30 gigs, - swap - 4 gigs, /home - 80 gigs , (the rest of the drive as Fat32) - aprox 280 gigs. Do I have something wrong there?
[14:12] <lfaraone> hwilde: meaning ghost connections from past ssh sessions?
[14:13] <hwilde> lfaraone, yeah they are waiting for an EOF that is never coming from nc
[14:13] <leohartx> ifaraone, ty i just dont know it's name. i managed it :D
[14:13] <lfaraone> matic: there is no "optimum"...
[14:13] <overrider> if you have a 280 gigs fat32 partition, something is definitly wrong
[14:13] <alex_21> Now I untareed it and got an folder named osx-login. What do I do now?
[14:13] <tomcheng76> leohartx: welcome, all i does was "apt-cache search Virtualbox"
[14:13] <lfaraone> hwilde: well, you can either kill them, or try a "sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart" but I doubt that will do much
[14:13] <hwilde> Markopotomus, why are you using fat32
[14:13] <santor> i'm trying ot write a battery state script for use with xmobar and i woudl like to know where to get battery time remaining information
[14:14] <santor> or something like discharge rate woudl do, i could calculate from there
[14:14] <hwilde> lfaraone, that would just restart them and they would build back up.  are you an sshd port forwarding expert?
[14:14] <lfaraone> hwilde: Nope.
[14:14] <endo602> please someone help me with my optical audio out
[14:14] <lfaraone> hwilde: try /join #ssh, or #openbsd
[14:14] <endo602> PLEASE
[14:14] <norbert79> alex_21: move that directory to /usr/share/gdm/themes
[14:14] <lfaraone> !helpme | endo602
[14:14] <leohartx> tomcheng76, oh i get it :), cool
[14:14] <hwilde> lfaraone, it's specific to ubuntu thanks
[14:14] <hwilde> anybody here an ssh port forwarding expert?  I have all these leftover sshds...
[14:15] <lfaraone> !repeat | hwilde
[14:15] <norbert79> alex_21: and please address your questions to a person using his/her name so your questions won't get lost...
[14:15] <nmq> quick question, recursive shell scripts (calls itself) yay or nay?
[14:15] <hwilde> lfaraone, get out of my face
[14:15] <lfaraone> hwilde: might be worthwhile to ask on !forums or !mailinglists
[14:15] <hwilde> lfaraone, I will wait until an ssh expert is around
[14:15] <Markopotomus> hwilde: I want to use some of the drive to store stuff from Windows
[14:15] <Delvien> ifyou know you waste more time and spam everyone doing that if you cant help dont. if you can ask leading questions
[14:16] <hwilde> !ntfs | Markopotomus
[14:16] <snek> markopotomus: are you dualbooting?
[14:16] <lfaraone> hwilde: Ok, but don't repeat your question, it makes the channel harder to follow.
[14:16] <snek> markopotomus: or do you want to serve files to a windows machine over the network?
[14:16] <santor> i've tried cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state but the present rate alwasy shows zero
[14:16] <Markopotomus> hwilde: the ubuntu installer doesnt give ntfs as an option. But yes, I was planning to change it from fat32 to ntfs in windows
[14:16] <[visage]> Good morning people. I've got an issue with intrepid here. When I click on applications, the menu is completely blank, and also I am unable to open the "main menu" app under system > preferences. Does anyone know how I can fix these problems?
[14:17] <Atoz_Chevara> udienz: **ping?pong! :D
[14:17] <matic> santor, try this tool sudo apt-get install xmbmon
[14:17] <Markopotomus> sneck partially yes - it doesnt quite work though. I have to change the bios settings between sata and pata to alternate between Ubuntu and WIndows
[14:17] <Markopotomus> snek I dont mind that though
[14:17] <alex_21> Ok, I moved it to usr/share/gdm/themes
[14:17] <alex_21> What to do now to get it to come up
[14:17] <SOURdiesel> Sinister`: yes.  i had the option of removing menu's when using it with hardy.  after i upgraded to intrepid, i don't see the option to remove menu's.
[14:18] <tomcheng76> hwilde  you want to do what kind of port forwording? reverse tunnel ?
[14:18] <santor> matic xmbmon, will this give me a new plugin for xmobar, or what
[14:18] <Markopotomus> snek - actually I think you may have been spot on with your suggestion that it was installing grub on another drive. I switched to pata mode and it actually loaded
[14:18] <snek> :)
[14:18] <hwilde> tomcheng76, I have a lot of leftover sshd's from the reverse tunnels
[14:18] <norbert79> alex_21: You again have forget to adress your questions directly to one person. You need to edit the file: /etc/gdm/gdm.conf
[14:18] <tomcheng76> i see
[14:18] <snek> markopotomus: it has caused me a lot of headaches in the past as well until i figured it out...
[14:19] <Markopotomus> snek although it's possible I've damaged the mbr on that drive now. Windows isnt looking too friendly
[14:19] <Markopotomus> eep brb
[14:19] <hwilde> tomcheng76, in my .ssh/config I am using nc localhost portnumber.    netcat never returns EOF so sshd never quits
[14:19] <norbert79> alex_21: No, sorry, edit /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom
[14:19] <hwilde> Markopotomus, you're making this too hard you know :)
[14:19] <matic> santor, used it long time ago but I think it can provide substanial information especially concerning the installed hardware
[14:19] <hwilde> Markopotomus, install windows on a partition on the driver, then install Ubuntu, and it will dualboot nicely
[14:20] <snek> yep, but i think he has them installed on different drives etc hehehe.. the ubuntu installer goes a bit nuts then
[14:20] <norbert79> alex_21: Modify the line: GraphicalTheme= and write the name after = osx-login. So the right entry will be: GraphicalTheme=osx-login
[14:20] <AlexMax> Hi there, how do i find out what files a specific package installs from the command line?  (I can check in synaptic, but I'd like a way to check from the command line)
[14:20] <AlexMax> (so I can grep it)
[14:21] <tomcheng76> hwilde i used a script to manage my reverse tunnel, let me find it out :)
[14:21] <lfaraone> AlexMax: try using aptitude
[14:21] <santor> matic thanks, i'll check that out
[14:21] <snek> hwilde: i had a lot better results with the debian installer when it comes to using many drives in one machine with many different partitions and multiple os's
[14:21] <AlexMax> lfaraone: I have checked aptitude and it doesn't appear to list any specific files
[14:21] <AlexMax> or rather, have a command for doing so
[14:21] <lfaraone> AlexMax: hm...
[14:21] <hwilde> tomcheng76, don't bother I already have one of those
[14:21] <snek> AlexMax: aptitude show packagename
[14:22] <santor> matic, it5s nto working, but the man page says its for voltages and temperatures
[14:22] <bobbob1016> Can anyone help me figure out why ubiquity keeps crashing when I try to install?  I've tried Ibex and Hardy both fail after "Configuring mythtv" at about 83%, even after I turned all the options off.  I ran it from terminal, and it complains about something to do with the pixmaps, but that is when I start it not at the end.
[14:22] <benoka> what is the location and how is the file called that stores the commands i put into terminal?
[14:22] <AlexMax> snek: So it's a command line param.  Thanks
[14:23] <snek> alexmax: yep, you're welcome :)
[14:23] <ari_stress> hi guys, how do we know how many programs available in ubuntu repositories?
[14:23] <hwilde> ari_stress, synaptic
[14:23] <AlexMax> snek: Hrm, aptitude show only gives me details, not a file list
[14:24] <ari_stress> thanks hwilde, i see 26228 packages, nice!
[14:25] <snek> AlexMax: hmm you mean the actual packages it WILL install, or just the required packages?
[14:25] <ndlovu> norbert79, alex_21, there might not be a setting for GraphicalTheme= there already. If there isn't (correct me if I'm wrong), it should go under the [gui] section
[14:25] <MIki2> hi
[14:25] <AlexMax> snek: I want to know the actual files that the package installs
 that line isn't in there
[14:26] <tomcheng76> hwilde: i can't help you then, sorry about that
[14:26] <snek> AlexMax: ok I am not sure how to show that
[14:26] <Fazavon> AlexMax: Download the deb package and read the dependencies list
[14:27] <ndlovu> alex_21, I think you can just add it under the [gui] section
[14:27] <snek> Fazavon: an aptitude show also shows the dependecies ;)
[14:27] <snek> Depends: libc6 (>= 2.4), libncurses5 (>= 5.6+20071006-3)
[14:27] <hwilde> tomcheng76, do you mind pm I want to go over how I have the .ssh/config
[14:27] <Fazavon> snek that works too
[14:27] <AlexMax> Synaptic can show it in one of its tabs
[14:27] <snek> hmm let me check that
[14:28] <AlexMax> i just wanted a way to see it from the command line
[14:28] <AlexMax> thanks for your help though =)
[14:28] <snek> aha synaptic only shows it for installed applications.. (i never use it, only aptitude)
[14:29] <tomcheng76> hwilde i affraid i cant help you because i just use the script to make a persistent reverse tunnel and i never that sshds leftover problem, sorry i am not a ssh expert :)
[14:29] <MIki2>  Somebody so minimal does not know a surface, on which there is start, menu? (approximately 100 mbre I count)
[14:29] <inordkuo> hi all. i am having freezing issues with intrepid 64bit. i've upgraded to the latest proposed kernel, disabled networkmanager, tried killing the pulseaudio process but still get freezes
[14:30] <Vinceman> what is the command of the File Browser of linux?
[14:30] <Biker803> Hi guys, if there's anyone who is well versed in ISCSI (open-iscsi specifically) and Apache if they could give me a hand with an issue I'm having. I posted on the forums at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=999192 Thanks!
[14:30] <Delvien> Vinceman: nautilus
[14:30] <Vinceman> in that respect, how do you find out the command of some link you just clicked on in linux?
[14:31] <aldarsior> inordkuo: how random are these freezes?
 I have the older gdm.conf filethat line isn't in there
[14:31] <alex_21> I'll be back
[14:31] <shoPanda> AlexMax: dpkg -L packageNamle lists all files in an installed package
[14:32] <inordkuo> aldarsior: actually they seem to occur more when i am recording tv to an ntfs drive but i read that ntfs-3g should never cause freezing
[14:32] <inordkuo> it's dual booted with xp
[14:32] <juancabrito> hi everybody. How can I make the sound card work again?
[14:32] <Vinceman> Delvien? how do you find out the command of some link you just clicked on in linux?
[14:32] <aldarsior> Vinceman: if you right click on the menu and hit "edit menu" and then select an item and hit properties, it will tell you what the command is
[14:33] <Vinceman> okok
[14:33] <hwilde> anybody here an ssh port forwarding expert?  I have all these leftover sshds...  helppp
[14:33] <werdnum> hwilde: wassup?
[14:33] <tomcheng76> inordkuo: what is your harddrive, i heard that seagate 1.5TB have problem :)
[14:33] <aldarsior> inordkuo: does it ever crash when it's not dealing with fuse?
[14:33] <MIki2> Somebody so minimal does not know a surface, on which there is start, menu? (approximately 100 mbre I count)
[14:33] <werdnum> hwilde: You should actually explain your problem in detail.
[14:33] <werdnum> MIki2: I can't parse your question.
[14:34] <hwilde> werdnum, ok but if you don't know anything about ssh or port forwarding you can't help me
[14:34] <aldarsior> hwilde: kill them all, god will know his own.
[14:34] <werdnum> juancabrito: you're going to have to be more specific than that.
[14:34] <werdnum> hwilde: I know a thing or two.
[14:34] <[visage]> Okay, an update to my issue: I get this when running alacarte: http://paste.ubuntu.com/79327/
[14:34] <mardy_> hi everybody
[14:34] <nbeebo> hi dude
[14:35] <aldarsior> juancabrito: check your mixers. right click on the volume widget and hit "open volume control"
[14:35] <Dreamer3> hmmm
[14:35] <juancabrito> werdnum: I've installed VMWare for a virtual machine to work, then I lost the sound in Ubuntu, but it works in the guest (Windows)...
[14:35] <Dreamer3> where would i find backports from 810 to 804?
[14:35] <hwilde> werdnum, ok so on my remote server is behind a firewall, but it can get out, so it establishes a reverse tunnel with this command:    "ssh -N -R 9933:localhost:22 myserver"    then on myserver in the .ssh/config I use "        ProxyCommand    nc -w5 localhost 9933"     the problem is if the connection dies, nc never returns EOF, so the sshd never dies
[14:35] <mardy_> can i have usb web cam for ubuntu
[14:35] <juancabrito> aldarsior: I did that
[14:36] <mardy_> how
[14:36] <cedriczg> mardy_, isntall cheese from synatptic
[14:36] <nbeebo> !info cheese
[14:36] <mardy_> i got usb  but it doesnt connect
[14:36] <werdnum> hwilde: What's the purpose of the nc?
[14:36] <nicolah> would be ubuntu desktop be faster on a cd-r (with sata reader) or on a usb 2.0 verbatim pendrive ? thanks
[14:36] <DaHopi> hello ;) I have a Problem with Ubuntu 8.10 Gnome/Compiz, with NVidia 6200: with Compiz enabled, my top window-borders were rendered ugly if i cross the border with my mousepointer..
[14:37] <inordkuo> aldarisor: i'm not 100% sure but i seem to remember one time when i was idle that it froze with the blinking caps lock light. btw it's my brother's machine and i'm trying to convert him from xp (beyond tv) to linux ubuntu with mythv and we're several states apart.
[14:37] <werdnum> I've done the same kinda thing, and I used ssh -FTNR 7022:<IP_ADDRESS>:22
[14:37] <hwilde> werdnum, umm that takes your traffic and sends it to that port?
[14:37] <mardy_> cedri i have installed chese
[14:37] <tomcheng76> hwilde: basically i modified the script from here
[14:37] <tomcheng76> http://www.brandonhutchinson.com/ssh_tunnelling.html
[14:37] <werdnum> hwilde: Not sure you need that, ssh is supposed to do that for you.
[14:37] <hwilde> werdnum, how do you connect to your reverse tunnel then
[14:37] <aldarsior> you don't
[14:37] <werdnum> hwilde: ssh localhost 7022
[14:38] <mardy_> any body help me to connect u sb cam
[14:38] <werdnum> !webcam | mardy_
[14:38] <newfeats> hi.  how do i get 3d acceleration enabled in XFCE?
[14:38] <mfilipe> how do I do to configure beep in X? without "xset b off"
[14:38] <hwilde> werdnum, how do you put that in the ProxyCommand in .ssh/config tho?  I need to map it to a hostname
[14:38] <juancabrito> aldarsior: I went to System > Preferences > Sound preferences, but all I can see are  some drop down lists, all set to "ALSA...something"
[14:38] <werdnum> hwilde: I haven't put any ProxyCommand there at all.
[14:38] <werdnum> The entirety of my setup is the ssh -FTNR 7022:localhost:22<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[14:39] <cedriczg> mardy_, so your issue is regarding USB web cam... Not sure how to help you. Try to run command dmesg, connect the cam and see the output of that command
[14:39] <lfaraone> newfeats: try /join #xubuntu
[14:39] <tomcheng76> hwile: that one kill ssh if there is not connection running in the remote host
[14:39] <hwilde> werdnum, ok... but I need to say on my local server "ssh HB-33-1"  and right now I have the .ssh/config change that to Proxycommand nc localhost 9933.     From a command line I can say ssh localhost -p 9933 and it works, but I need a hostname mapped to that
[14:39] <juancabrito> hi everybody. How can I make the sound card work again? I've installed VMWare for a virtual machine to work, then I lost the sound in Ubuntu, but it works in the guest (Windows)...
[14:40] <werdnum> hwilde: oh, I see what you want
[14:40] <ari_stress> juancabrito: so strange :)
[14:40] <werdnum> go into your ssh config, and add:
[14:40] <mardy_> with this chatting can i open my web cam
[14:40] <werdnum> Host <SomeHost>
[14:40] <hwilde> werdnum, yes I need to say "ssh HB-33-1"  and have it to "ssh localhost -p 9933"
HostName localhost
Port 9933
[14:40] <werdnum> and you're done :)
[14:40] <juancabrito> ari_stress: :(
[14:40] <inordkuo> tomcheng76: the hd is a 200gb maxtor but it's dual booted w xp and never freezes in windows. i know it's not solid proof that it's not a hardware issue but it makes me lean towards it being software.
[14:41] <aldarsior> juancabrito: I don't really know how vmware deals with this sort of thing, apparently it took control of your hardware
[14:41] <chandru_in> Though I have selected "Auto-select dependencies" in aptoncd, it doesn't automatically select the dependencies for packages I select?  Any help?
[14:41] <werdnum> That's what I have in my /etc/ssh/ssh_config
[14:41] <ari_stress> juancabrito: how about disabling the sound in the vm?
[14:41] <aldarsior> juancabrito: do you have the vmware Workstation thing or the vmware player thing?
[14:41] <ari_stress> juancabrito: i've never use sound in the vm
[14:41] <hwilde> werdnum, ah I think that looks good
[14:41] <juancabrito> ari_stress: It didn't work
[14:41] <juancabrito> aldarsior: player
[14:41] <werdnum> hwilde: works? :)
[14:42]  * Markopotomus is back
[14:42] <aldarsior> juancabrito: if you had the workstation thing you could call vmware and whine
[14:42] <mardy_> anybody help me to connect my usb web cam with this chat
[14:42] <aldarsior> sorry...
[14:42] <ari_stress> juancabrito: edit the vm setting, and remove the sound card hardware
[14:42] <cedriczg> Can someone test for me how much time does it take autoplay on nautilus for music files when you put the cursor over the file?
[14:42] <hwilde> werdnum, nice where di you find that?  is there a .ssh/config man page or something
[14:42] <phantomcircuit> which package contains the man pages for socket(2) connect(2) getaddrinfo(2) etc
[14:42] <werdnum> mardy_: You need to be way more specific. We've given you links to documentation, and you haven't indicated at all that you've read it.
[14:42] <werdnum> hwilde: man ssh_config
[14:42] <chandru_in> any aptoncd user here?
[14:43] <juancabrito> ari_stress: I can't, I need sound in both systems
[14:43] <werdnum> http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh_config
[14:43] <vignesh> chandru_in, yeah..
[14:43] <aldarsior> juancabrito: if I were you I'd call vmware and whine
[14:43] <mardy_> k  thank u
[14:43] <IndyGunFreak> cedriczg: bout 3sec for me
[14:43] <mardy_> let me see what happened
[14:43] <chandru_in> vignesh: can you help with my problem?
[14:43] <keystr0k> How do I edit my "bookmarks" (places menu) ?
[14:43] <aldarsior> tell them you were seriously considering ESX server but now that their shit is breaking your desktops, you don't think you want it anymore
[14:43] <cedriczg> IndyGunFreak, about 9sec for me :( . Not sure what can be the issue
[14:44] <IndyGunFreak> cedriczg: hmm, that is weird
[14:44] <tomcheng76> inordkuo: what does "/var/log/syslog" look like after the system freezing ?
[14:44] <cedriczg> IndyGunFreak, I did reinstall totem and nothing
[14:44] <ndo> !postgre
[14:44] <Markopotomus> snek: I'm back. My plan now is to rebuild the mbr on the ide drive (which I seem to have damaged) and then disconnect the ide drives while reinstalling ubuntu on the SATA drive.
[14:44] <ndo> !postgresql
[14:44] <IndyGunFreak> cedriczg: are you talking abou just mousing overi t, or actually opening the file?
[14:44] <ndo> !postgress
[14:44] <vignesh> chandru_in, yeah whats it ?
[14:44] <cedriczg> IndyGunFreak, about mouse over. But actually playing the file on totem is also slow now
[14:45] <chandru_in> Though I have selected "Auto-select dependencies" in aptoncd, it doesn't automatically select the dependencies for packages I select
[14:45] <IndyGunFreak> cedriczg: dunno, maybe try audacious
[14:45] <lfaraone> ndo: please play with the bot in "/msg ubotu " or in #ubuntu-bots
[14:45] <cedriczg> IndyGunFreak, How do you change your default program for autoplay? I know how to choose for opening but not sure it is same for autoplay
[14:46] <khalid> hi what if i apply 512+256mb ram with my ubuntu will it be fine?
[14:46] <IndyGunFreak> cedriczg: not really sure on that ..
[14:46] <snek> Markopotomus: yes that sounds like a good plan
[14:46] <khalid> somewhere: where?
[14:46] <ndo> lfaraone: play? :) i wasn really playing. But anyway ty ;)
[14:46] <tomcheng76> cedriczg: Home Folder => View => Preference => Media
[14:46] <Vinceman> how can you access stuff on disks not in the ubuntu format?
[14:46] <cedriczg> IndyGunFreak, thanks. Now I know I have an issue to solve ;)
[14:46] <Markopotomus> snek: *gets on with it* :)
[14:46] <transporter> guys i cannot upload any pics on any website!
[14:46] <khalid> how to know my processor and ram ?
[14:47] <jrib> Vinceman: what format?  Are these internal disks?
[14:47] <khalid> in ubuntu
[14:47] <Vinceman> jrib yes
[14:47] <snek> Markopotomus: you can dualboot from the Grub menu to Windows by the way
[14:47] <jrib> Vinceman: what format?
[14:47] <Vinceman> I saw with fdisk that there's other format
[14:47] <inordkuo> tomcheng76: i will take a look there when he gets the machine back online. it's frozen at the moment. it's my brother's machine and he's at work. my next move is to have him format the drive as jfs. is it true that writing to ntfs should not cause a system freeze?
[14:47] <khalid> jraib
[14:47] <transporter> guys can somebody help me please i am unable to upload any pics on any website
[14:48] <snek> Markopotomus: it's not very hard to do from what i remember.. although i don't dualboot anymore so i can't check what it was.. but it's as easy as adding a line to /boot/grub/menu.lst
[14:48] <khalid> jrib: how to know my ram?
[14:48] <Vinceman> jrib: it says "Extended" and "Linux swap Solaris"
[14:48] <jrib> khalid: free -m
[14:48] <chandru_in> vignesh: Any help?
[14:48] <cedriczg> tomcheng76, I think you are talking about when you insert a new media. I was talking about autoplay while mouse over on music files in nautilus
[14:48] <jrib> Vinceman: well if it is really swap, then you don't want to use it...
[14:48] <Markopotomus> snek: ok, cool. The PATA/SATA thing seems to be a cause of grief though
[14:48] <tomcheng76> inordkro, i have a ntfs partition with thousand of music in it :) subdirectory etc
[14:48] <Vinceman> let us begin this session of chatting by standing up and declaring ourself dependable of the linux operating system
[14:49] <khalid> jrib: thanks :D and how to know processor?
[14:49] <transporter> unable to upload pics on any website
[14:49] <snek> Markopotomus: yep, hope you get it working the way you want.. these mbr problems are a real pain in the ass :)
[14:49] <jrib> khalid: cat /proc/cpuinfo   or lshw I guess
[14:49] <Vinceman> jrib, but the Extended, I oughta be able to reach that, no?
[14:49] <vignesh> chandru_in, sorry i lost my connection in between.. can you please re post your problem ?
[14:49] <tomcheng76> cedriczg: i am not sure can u do that or not...
[14:49] <inordkuo> tomcheng76: so then maybe i should just have him install the 32bit version instead of 64bit
[14:50] <Markopotomus> snek: well Im on the cause with Hirens boot CD so I'll either detonate the whole of London or will somehow fix it.
[14:50] <jrib> Vinceman: extended is just that.  An extended partition.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_partitioning#Extended
[14:50] <snek> Markopotomus: lol, maybe i can see the mushroom cloud from here then (the Hague, Netherlands) :P
[14:51] <cedriczg> tomcheng76, While you are on nautilus, you mouse over a music file for some secs and you should start hearing the music file. For me now it takes 9 sec for autoplay. But it should be 3secs I think
[14:51] <Markopotomus> snek: hehehe
[14:51] <tomcheng76> inordkuo: u may try that but i dont see any movition to do that except java plugin on firefox :)
[14:52] <snek> btw people i'm happy to say i got my X-Fi working under Intrepid with no problems!
[14:52] <Vinceman> jrib how do you know how many logical drives your extended partition has and how do you access them?
[14:52] <snek> although it lacks most features, it does play sound haha
[14:52] <cedriczg> tomcheng76, And I think it is related with the fact that totem is taking too much to start playing when I open the music file
[14:52] <jrib> Vinceman: you can look at them in gparted
[14:52] <DaHopi> Hello again, have troubles with 8.10/Compiz/NVidia6200, Window-borders are ugly rendered if window is selected and i move my mousepointer over "minimize" or maximize button on the top window border: http://www.abload.de/image.php?img=bildschirmfotogxmi.png
[14:53] <jrib> Vinceman: as for your second question, you mount them.  You need to provide more details about the filesystem if you want more details
[14:53] <snek> DaHopi: i have the same problem hmmm
[14:53] <snek> DaHopi: i actually stopped using compiz because of that, it really started to bug the hell out of me
[14:53] <chandru_in> vignesh: Though I have selected "Auto-select dependencies" in aptoncd, it doesn't automatically select the dependencies for packages I select
[14:53] <tomcheng76> cedriczg: how about changing the default player? i suggest mplayer :)
[14:54] <Vinceman> jrib, I gave you what fdisk gave me
[14:54] <DaHopi> snek: ^^
[14:54] <inordkuo> tomcheng76: i have 4 machines running intrepid w no problems however, i've read others having freezing issues with intrepid. i see pulseaudio erros in /var/log/messages on the freezing machine which others with freezing issues in intrepid have mentioned as well. what do you suggest?
[14:54] <zamba> how can i safely renew the ip address of a machine remotely?
[14:54] <jrib> Vinceman: yes, didn't I address that?
[14:54] <Markopotomus> snek: Ah! hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Now I have a choice. Hirens bootCD has fixed the WIndows MBR error so, my setup is now like this; I have the boot record + XP working on an IDE drive, I have Ubuntu working on a sata drive... so maybe there's no problem? I could just leave it as it is?
[14:54] <DaHopi> snek: NVidia?
[14:54] <transporter> can somebody please help me!!! im unable to upload pictures on any website
[14:55] <tomcheng76> inordkuo:  uninstall pulseaudio and use alsa directly :)
[14:55] <vignesh> chandru_in, try reinstalling it..
[14:55] <snek> Markopotomus: that sounds pretty good.. if you can make the sata partition automatically boot you could add that line to /boot/grub/menu.lst to select windows too
[14:55] <chandru_in> vignesh: :( ok will try
[14:55] <cedriczg> tomcheng76, that's the detail. I can choose the open by default. But not sure how to change the program for autoplay music files
[14:56] <Dreamer3> how can i find out if i'm running hardy or intrepid?
[14:56] <jrib> !version | Dreamer3
[14:56] <Markopotomus> snek: the only thing I'm worried about is whether my partition structure on the sata drive is nuts (2gigs for /boot, 30 gigs for /, 4 gigs for swap, 80 gigs for /home, 280 gigs unused (used in windows)
[14:56] <transporter> somebody please help me
[14:56] <jrib> !helpme | transporter
[14:56] <Dreamer3> hmmm
[14:56] <tomcheng76> cedriczg: how do u know intrepid use totem for music file preview ?
[14:56] <Dreamer3> i don't have a lsd_release binary
[14:56] <lucax> Dreamer3, system - adm - system monitor
[14:57] <snek> Markopotomus: i can't help you with that, i'm a linux partition nub and just use 1 partition for / and 1 for swap :P
[14:57] <Slart> Dreamer3: lsb_release.. not the drug.. Linux Standard Base
[14:57] <inordkuo> tomcheng76: i will give that a shot. although before the last freeze, i went into the system monitor and killed the pulseaudio process but it still froze after 15 minutes or so. do you think uninstalling pulseaudio completely will still help?
[14:57] <transporter> unable to upload pictures on any webiste
[14:57] <Dreamer3> uh ok
[14:57] <Dreamer3> sladen: where is that?
[14:57] <Dreamer3> Slart: where is that
[14:57] <jrib> Vinceman: do you know how your disk is partitioned?  It sounds like you just have swap as a logical partition
[14:57] <Markopotomus> snek: I dont think I could make the sata drive automatically boot without reinstalling ubuntu on it with the ide drives disabled.
[14:57] <cedriczg> tomcheng76, because it still takes too long to autoplay the file ;)
[14:57] <Dreamer3> ah etc
[14:57] <Slart> Dreamer3: just type it at a terminal
[14:57] <Dreamer3> someone could have just said to look in /etc
[14:58] <Jack_Sparrow> transporter Ask a better question, what error, or what you have installed that may have caused this etc.
[14:58] <jrib> Dreamer3: you just run the command the bot told you in a shell
[14:58] <cedriczg> tomcheng76, look at this output I get while playing a file from terminal with totem
[14:58] <Markopotomus> snek: anyway, thanks for holding my hand through that :P haha
[14:58] <Slart> Dreamer3: just open a terminal and run "lsb_release -a"... or you can look in /etc.. that works too I think
[14:58] <kane77> Markopotomus, it will work, but you will waste some space... (for /boot 500MB is enough, 1GB should be enough for swap)
[14:58] <cedriczg> tomcheng76, http://paste.ubuntu.com/79341/
[14:58] <snek> Markopotomus: you can't change boot order in the Bios?
[14:58] <Dreamer3> Slart: i don't ahve a lsb_release command
[14:58] <Dreamer3> it does nothing
[14:58] <Dreamer3> "command not found"
[14:58] <jrib> Dreamer3: pastebin your command and the output
[14:58] <transporter> Jack_Sparrow: when i try to upload a pic on any website the window turns gray and does not respond
[14:58] <Dreamer3> uh
[14:58] <lucax> Dreamer3, dude check out sytem monitor theres what u are looking for
[14:58] <snek> kane77: swap should be 2x your ram.. in my gamemachine that's a whopping 8gb then :P
[14:58] <Slart> Dreamer3: mm.. pastebin would be nice
[14:59] <Slart> !pastebin | Dreamer3
[14:59] <Dreamer3> jrib: http://pastie.org/328774
[14:59] <transporter> Jack_Sparrow: I have to force quit each time
[14:59] <Markopotomus> kane77: ok, I thought that might be the case but wasnt sure... but there's plenty of space so I left extra. Is the 1 gig for swap thing true when there is 2 gigs of RAM available?
[14:59] <kane77> snek, it's not that important if you have lot of ram..
[14:59] <sfears> sudo mount /dev/sdb /media/cam = special device /dev/sdb does not exist
[14:59] <jrib> Dreamer3: you forgot the -a switch, but you have a broken install then
[14:59] <sfears> sudo mount /dev/sdb /media/cam = special device /dev/sdb does not exist, trying to access my digital camera & internal sd card reader
[14:59] <snek> kane77: in theory no, but if they re-enable suspension/hybernate it could be a problem
[15:00] <glade88> hi. since I switched to kubuntu since some time, so no idea about gnome. Is Auto login still under System->Admin->Login Window in Intrepid as it was in Hardy?
[15:00] <Dreamer3> jrib: do i?
[15:00] <Dreamer3> seems to work fine :)
[15:00] <jrib> Dreamer3: how about: /usr/bin/lsb_release -a
[15:00] <Dreamer3> what package is lsb_release part of?
[15:00] <Dreamer3> maybe it's not in a server install
[15:00] <Markopotomus> Riiiiiiiiiiiight. So! My next task is to get dual displays working, and my graphics tablet :p
[15:00] <Slart> !info lsb
[15:00] <cypherus> I'm using motion to capture video from security ip cameras and I am having an issue with it writing the proper data to mysql
[15:00] <[c0re]> how to reinstall gnome from cd?
[15:00] <jrib> Dreamer3: it is.  It's in lsb-release
[15:00] <Markopotomus> so that's me for the next 24 hours. I think my eyes might die first.
[15:00] <snek> Markopotomus: check the 2nd to last post.. it has an example for menu.lst: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=73129
[15:01] <Dreamer3> how can i get a list of installed packages?
[15:01] <Dreamer3> apt what
[15:01] <jrib> [c0re]: reinstalling things is usually pretty pointless.  Why not ask your real question?
[15:01] <tomcheng76> inordkuo:  that looks normal because i always get those error ,lol
[15:01] <Markopotomus> snek hokay. Thanks for that
[15:01] <jrib> Dreamer3: aptitude search '~i'

[15:01] <jrib> Dabbu: how did you try?
[15:01] <snek> markopotomus: you might have to fiddle with the values of rootnoverify    (hd0,0)
[15:01] <Slart> !compile | Dabbu
[15:01] <cypherus> I just need the /folder/folder/filename.avi
[15:01] <Crusher> hey where can i paste my problems...pastebin.com is not working in my browser.
[15:02] <Dabbu> jrib: g++ <file name>
[15:02] <Dreamer3> yeah i have a light install i guess :)
[15:02] <cypherus> what can I do to just call that selected part?
[15:02] <Dreamer3> lsb-base is installed
 How are you trying to compile it?
[15:02] <jrib> Crusher: paste.ubuntu.com
[15:02] <jrib> Dreamer3: output would be nice
[15:02] <Dreamer3> jrib: i'm happy
[15:02] <Crusher> jrib: thank u
[15:02] <jrib> Crusher: output would be nice
[15:02] <Dreamer3> those packages just aren't installed
[15:02] <Dabbu> snowwhite: g++ <file name>
[15:02] <inordkuo> tomcheng76: i just looked at my logs on a working machine and i see them too. so most likely not pulseaudio. is it possible that it's a hardware issue even though the machine doesn't have issues when running xp?
[15:02] <tomcheng76> inordkuo:  you may try to uninstall pulseaudio first to see if it helps. IMO alsa is much solid
[15:02] <Dreamer3> this is a VPS on linode... i'm guessing the minimal install doesn't include them
[15:02] <[c0re]> jrib, http://ayozone.org/2008/11/10/how-to-install-globalmenu-06-on-ubuntu-intrepid/

[15:03] <[c0re]> jrib, i am installing this if its fail i will re install gnome
[15:03] <jrib> Dreamer3: that makes more sense
[15:03] <Dreamer3> :)
[15:03] <Vinceman> jrib, linux suggested some swap space and I followed that
[15:03] <Vinceman> on installation that is
[15:03] <Dabbu>  snowwhite: iostream.h file not found
[15:03] <Dabbu> jrib: what ?
[15:04] <Vinceman> jrib is helping me now Dabbu, sorry :)
[15:04] <Conan2317> does anyone know how to display filesize of a found file while finding it
[15:04] <Dabbu> Vinceman: ok
[15:04] <jrib> Dabbu: why would you have iostream.h in c++?  Anyway, have you installed build-essential?
[15:04] <snowwhite> Dabbu, have you installed g++?
[15:04] <Dabbu> jrib: yes
[15:04] <geirha> Conan2317: You mean with the find command? add the -ls option
[15:04] <Slart> Conan2317: huh? ls will show file sizes.. the "file" command too I think
[15:04] <Dabbu>  snowwhite: yes
[15:04] <Crusher> hey when i tried to " make install " a tar.bz2 file i got this problem  http://paste.ubuntu.com/79344/

[15:05] <snowwhite> Dabbu, use only <iostream>
[15:05] <flambyx> hi, i'm having problems using my cdrom ( 8.10 ). I can't mount anything. anyone has an idea ?
[15:05] <jrib> Vinceman: yes, that's fine.  But that is not something you want to mount and play with
[15:05] <snowwhite> Dabbu, and add -- using namspace std;
[15:05] <Dabbu> snowwhite: i think that will not help...but i am trying now
[15:05] <jrib> Dabbu: you should pastebin what you are compiling
[15:06] <Dabbu> snowwhite: i do all those thing ..i am not new for gcc or g++
[15:06] <Vinceman> jrib: but I had old windows stuff on that extended part
[15:06] <jrib> [c0re]: reinstalling gnome will not do anything
[15:06] <snowwhite> Dabbu, i think jrib said
[15:06] <jrib> Vinceman: pastebin the output of 'fdisk -l'
[15:06] <scientes> changing tabs on a ajax page makes my rhythmbox on my harddrive (ntfs) skip
[15:06] <Dabbu> snowwhite: ya
[15:06] <scientes> i have a quad core
[15:06] <scientes> this is unacceptable

[15:07] <Slart> icewolfca: I think most of the cd burning apps can do that.. try k3b, brasero, gnome-baker etc
[15:07] <scunizi> icewolfca, k3b
[15:07] <Slart> !burn
[15:07] <Jack_Sparrow> icewolfca k3b has an addon
[15:08] <sfears> !camera
[15:08] <icewolfca> and I assume I need some KDE Libs?
[15:08] <Slart> icewolfca: there's also .. hmm.. cdrecord I think it's called.. command line only
[15:08] <sfears> !mount
[15:08] <scunizi> icewolfca, they will pull in automatically
[15:08] <Crusher> ikonia: actually i m trying to install a mac for linux theme
[15:08] <jrib> icewolfca: apt takes care of that
[15:08] <icewolfca> ok
[15:08] <bazhang> icewolfca, its well worth it. k3b is the standard
[15:09] <icewolfca> thanks
[15:09] <icewolfca> ok
[15:09] <Dabbu> snowwhite: thanks sweetheart...changing <iostream.h> to <iostream> worked
[15:09] <Slart> hmm.. am I the only one not using k3b?? =)

[15:15] <riotkittie> is it possible to add commands to the context menu in nautilus?
[15:15] <Slart> shubbar: yes
[15:15] <Dreamer3> is inittab completely depreciated?
[15:15] <Slart> riotkittie: yes
[15:15] <Dreamer3> or will it still be examed on a reboot?

[15:16] <Slart> !info nautilus-actions | riotkittie
[15:16] <Jack_Sparrow> sfears those internal card readers can really be a pain unless they use the std default driver
[15:16] <riotkittie> jrib: Slart: thanks :>
[15:17] <Slart> shubbar: yes
[15:17] <ikonia> Crusher: you shouldn't need to "make install" a theme file
[15:17] <vignesh> sfears, regarding the card reader, it might have a filesystem that the kernel doesnt know..
[15:17] <flambyx> sfears, didn't even try my cam
[15:17] <DaHopi> snek: if u use "glossy" window decorations, this bug is obsolete

[15:23] <temppy> gioele: the ubuntu package just downloads the flash binary, and puts it in your plugins folder.  There isn't a need for a PPA
[15:23] <jrib> zueight: /join #ubuntu-my
[15:23] <lefix> can somebody help me pls?
[15:23] <gioele> temppy: the ubuntu package downloads the 32-bit version
[15:23] <jrib> lefix: best to just ask the channel your question.  If someone knows the answer, they will try to help you
[15:23] <scunizi> santor, pastebinit will do that from terminal
[15:23] <Slart> abchirk: testdisk is one.. but it's tricky

[15:23] <Jack_Sparrow> sfears let me see if I can find it..
[15:24] <temppy> gioele: yeah, but you can just install the 64bit version yourself I think.  Just download it, and put it in your plugin folder
[15:24] <zueight> orait!!
[15:24] <gioele> temppy: I know that as well, I just would like to know if anyone packaged it and released in its PPA
[15:24] <sfears> Jack_Sparrow: ubuntuhcl.org

[15:25] <Rashomon> Anyone? My Ubuntu 8.10 server install does have some extremely slow net-downloads (for example through aptitude). My guess is that there's something to do with half/full-duplex - the server currently runs in half duplex. What is the preffered way to change this?
[15:25] <lefix> hwilde: yes i see the tab (starting sound) but the window doesn't open
[15:25] <zueight> taik
[15:25] <e-head> hey
[15:25] <zueight> hoi!!
[15:25] <hwilde> Rashomon, goto command line and type sudo ethtool eth0
[15:25] <scunizi> santor, I thought you wanted to paste it to a paste bin.. for posting.. sorry if I missunderstood what you wanted.
[15:26] <bazhang> zueight, english here
[15:26] <hwilde> lefix, it should be a window titels Sound Preferences with three tabs Devices, Sounds, System Beep
[15:26] <Rashomon> hwilde: I don't have ethtool, mii-tool?
[15:26] <santor> scunizi: well sometimes i do, i want to get text from a file into teh clipbard thoguh
[15:26] <bazhang> zueight, for malay /join #ubuntu-my
[15:26] <Slart> santor: many shells have some kind of push/pop functionality built in.. take a look at bash, see if it's got it
[15:26] <hwilde> Rashomon, sudo apt-get install ethtool.
[15:26] <lefix> hwilde: yes but my ubuntu (version 8.10) doesn't open this window
[15:26] <ndlovu> alex_21, did you add "GraphicalTheme=osx-login" to /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom ?
[15:26] <hwilde> lefix sry I dunno... that is a problem.
[15:26] <santor> slart if you are referring ot the highlight/mouse button 2 thing i dont' liek it
[15:26] <Jack_Sparrow> sfears try this  http://www.linux-laptop.net/
[15:27] <rohdef> anyone who knows how to make the Huawei E220 modem work? Linux finds it, but I can't get it to connect
[15:27] <lefix> hwilde i know
[15:27] <Slart> santor: nope.. not that
[15:27] <zueight> bazhang
[15:27] <scunizi> santor,  to the clipboard I don't know how to do.. to paste automatically and have a pastebin link returned then pastebinit will do the job.
[15:27] <hwilde> lefix, let me see if I can figure out the comand to open that window...
[15:27] <flambyx> Jack_Sparrow, what if my laptop isn't in the list ?
[15:27] <bazhang> zueight, this is for english language support. and you are already in #ubuntu-my
[15:27] <Jack_Sparrow> flambyx then it will be a new experience for you
[15:28] <snek> Rashomon: half-duplex could definitely slow down your network
[15:28] <vladuz976> when i switch my keyboard layout to Dvorak, I half half of the keyboard full of dead keys. Any advice?
[15:28] <santor> scunizi: well, i'd assume the clipboard is as simple as a fifo that you put stuff in and pull stuff out of
[15:28] <snek> Rashomon: really try to get full-duplex working
[15:28] <zueight> yaka... benar cta tok ka..
[15:28] <mannytu> do I need to download extra files to run sh scripts?
[15:28] <Jack_Sparrow> mannytu no
[15:28] <santor> Rashomon: thats most likely the cause of a bad ethernet cable, get a different cable and see if it goes into full duplex mode
[15:28] <hwilde> lefix, try gksu gnome-sound-properties
[15:28] <snek> mannytu: no, but you have to make them executable with: sudo chmod +x filename
[15:28] <Rashomon> snek & hwilde: hmmm, it seems to be working. http://paste.ubuntu.com/79357/
[15:29] <odinsbane> Anybody here know how I can look up my modem.  I cannot find it with lspci
[15:29] <Jack_Sparrow> mannytu or sudo bash filename

[15:29] <hwilde> Rashomon,         Duplex: Full   1000MB/s    that looks right
[15:29] <n8tuser> odinsbane-> externally attached? what kind?
[15:29] <flambyx> Jack_Sparrow, oh ... no way to find it somewhere else ? i coul find mine here : http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/liste_portables_zepto ( it's the Znote 6625WD )
[15:29] <snek> mannytu: fibre gbit? nice :)
[15:29] <scunizi> santor, probably.. I'll google and see
[15:29] <anon> hi
[15:29] <Jack_Sparrow> flambyx the internet is a big place, you will find lost of info..
[15:30] <zueight> hoi
[15:30] <Rashomon> snek & hwilde & santor: I get 225 b/s from it, where the network should easily provide 10 Mb/s in a jiffy. Mii-tool says that my NIC advertises HD though.
[15:30] <odinsbane> n8tuser Internal, it is on a dell laptop, and the plug is right next to the ethernet plug.

[15:30] <scunizi> santor, http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/xclip-linux-insert-files-command-output-intoclipboard/
[15:30] <n8tuser> odinsbane-> lshw -C network  shows anything ? or just lshw
[15:31] <Jack_Sparrow> mannytu not being ablt to execute a script is different that debugging one to get it going
[15:31] <Rashomon> maybe I should try wgett'ing  something large from someplace else. aptitude does however use the closest and speediest servers at the moment
[15:31] <snek> mannytu: you having an AMD chip has nothing to do with it
[15:32] <Jack_Sparrow> anon THe std answer is no
[15:32] <odinsbane> n8tuser it shows information on my ethernet and wireless only.
[15:32] <Maveas> No one with G1? :)
[15:32] <anon> Tundrayeti311, safe as in the system doesn't crash, although i assume i understand it can vary on interpretation

[15:33] <hwilde> lefix, ignore
[15:33] <bazhang> anon, that will break your system. dont do it

[15:33] <hwilde> lefix, does it open sound properties then
[15:33] <lefix> but nothing happens
[15:34] <anon> bazhang, how do you know?
[15:34] <hwilde> lefix, sorry I dunno.  you should probably log out and log back in or reboot or whatever

[15:35] <c3po> hmm. so if there's an update again it would create like 3 of them?
[15:35] <Jack_Sparrow> anon No resident op

[15:35] <Sp0oZ> c3po no just previous working
[15:36] <snek> c3po: you can limit the amount of kernels it shows by editing /boot/grub/menu.lst
[15:36] <christian81> who wants to help?
[15:36] <ndlovu> alex_21, so did you add "GraphicalTheme=osx-login" to /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom ?

[15:37] <c3po> howmany=all?
 Not yet
[15:37] <ndlovu> alex_21, gdm.conf-custom should override gdm.conf
[15:37] <pi_> im dual booting ubunto and windows, and installed ubunto on my disk that has all my music/videos in windows, any way to get ubunto to read/see them?
[15:37] <snek> c3po: you can edit that to show how many you want.. so howmany=3 will show last 3 kernels.. howmany=all will show ALL kernels :)
[15:37] <hwilde> lefix, you need to fix all of that stuff!
[15:37] <christian81> i always get the message "connection terminated" when using network-manager 0.7 to connect to swisscom-network. i am using ubuntu 8.10.-

[15:38] <sfears> pi_.. look in your /windows directory
[15:38] <ndlovu> alex_21, find the [gui] section, and add GraphicalTheme=osx-login under that
[15:38] <santor> Rashomon: hmm, do you have any other computers to try this on, maybe its network issues
 Now I did, so what do I do now
[15:38] <lefix> hwilde but dont know how i tried to repare the broken packages (update manager -> reinstall)
[15:39] <ndlovu> alex_21, I think that should be all that it takes... try restarting X

[15:39] <christian81> i am sure that it will be easy for you...

[15:40] <hwilde> lefix, type "sudo apt-get update"

[15:40] <lefix> hwilde k

[15:40] <c3po> thanks :)
[15:41] <Maveas> I don't want to discuss it, I want to know if anyone has it?
[15:41] <lefix> hwilde "Reading package lists ... Done"

[15:47] <usamahashimi> Hello everyone!
[15:47] <bazhang> lefix, was there a power outage?
[15:48] <usamahashimi> For how long I can keep my computer running (and not turn off)?
[15:48] <Rashomon> santor: I've tried from my office coputer and there's no problem. The server is in a remote location though, but there shouldn't be any problems there at the moment. Out other servers are there and they have no problems
 Now I did, yesso I just got the standard login, not my new one. Here is my file http://paste.ubuntu.com/79370/
[15:48] <Jack_Sparrow> pi_ It should have seen and mounted your ntfs drive assuming ntfs
[15:48] <hwilde> usamahashimi, forever.
[15:48] <lefix> hwilde: i did it again an now there was this: (i think the same) http://pastebin.com/d16bb4f84
[15:48] <snek> usamahashimi: forever if it's stable
[15:48] <[c0re]> hi how do i install mouse pointer?
[15:48] <pi_> it's NTSF
[15:48] <pi_> but i can't see it
[15:48] <hwilde> lefix, close synaptic or update manager or whatever else you have open
[15:48] <Jack_Sparrow> !ntfs
[15:48] <snek> !help
[15:48] <usamahashimi> hwilde, snek: How can I know that my computer is stable?
[15:49] <hwilde> usamahashimi, System-> Admin -> System Monitor
[15:49] <snek> usamahashimi: hmm well, that's usually pretty obvious.. if things stop working after a few weeks it's not stable? :)
[15:49] <lefix> bazhang no
[15:49] <usamahashimi> hwilde, does my hardware play any role, like power supply, processor?
[15:50] <hwilde> usamahashimi, hardware doesn't last forever, so it will die eventualy ?
[15:50] <NicEXE> I get no sound at all... when I go to sound application and press the test key this error shows up "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback." how can I get my sound back without restarting?
[15:50] <usamahashimi> hwilde, actually i am using non-branded computer thats why i am concerned about that
[15:50] <snek> usamahashimi: if you buy expensive server hardware it will most likely last longer than ultra cheap consumer hardware :)
[15:50] <pi_> but how come i can see my two other drives but just not the one i installed bunti on?
[15:51] <usamahashimi> snek, i am using non-branded computer
[15:51] <snek> usamahashimi: it's the parts that matter, not the name on the case
[15:51] <lefix> hwilde: do you know how the process is called
 Now I did, yes I did mv it ther, and it is there. so I just got the standard login, not my new one. Here is my file http://paste.ubuntu.com/79370/
[15:51] <usamahashimi> hwilde, snek: if i tell you my hardware, can you tell me ?
[15:51] <hwilde> usamahashimi, sorry what does this have to do with ubuntu
[15:51] <Jack_Sparrow> pi_ IN terminal try sudo fdisk -l
[15:51] <snek> hwidle: hmm good point :P
[15:51] <hwilde> lefix, reboot and come back and we will help you ok

[15:56] <lefix> hwilde: do you mean the update-notifier?
[15:56] <nightclaw> is there a way to convert ntfs to ext3 without moving all the data around?
[15:56] <snek> erbi: are you refering to mysticalone?
[15:57] <usamahashimi> Does utorrent available for ubuntu?
[15:57] <scopecreep> nightclaw, negative, not that i know of
[15:57] <erbi> no.. anybody
[15:57] <Jack_Sparrow> !ifo rtottent
[15:57] <krish_> Jack_Sarrow I edited the sources.list file so tht I am able to install packages over the internet
[15:57] <scopecreep> utorrent is win/mac only i think
[15:57] <snek> usamahashmi: nope, but but you can use Wine...
[15:57] <Teisei> usamahashimi: Yes, but you have to run it on Wine
[15:57] <Jack_Sparrow> !info torrent
[15:57] <hwilde> lefix, close everything you have open...
[15:57] <snek> usamahashimi: i've been running utorrent under wine for over 2 years now, it's perfectly stable
[15:57] <Jack_Sparrow> !info rtorrent
[15:57] <blunderbomb> can anybody help me with  me not being able to connect to internet wired connection 8.10
[15:57] <Jack_Sparrow> Sorry about that people.. fat fingers this am
[15:58] <[T]ank> I have a usb thumbdrive that the partition has been removed. So... fdisk cannot see the drive now. Is there a way to correct that?
[15:58] <usamahashimi> Teisei, snek: Does this affect download speed (i mean running under wine)?
[15:58] <NetM> [T]ank try partition magic
[15:58] <Teisei> !info azureus
[15:58] <erbi> im trying to tweak my TCP performance so i can download faster + browse internet faster.. it has something to do with sysctl.conf and changing the scaling windows and such, who has done that? could i see your script?
[15:58] <Jack_Sparrow> [T]ank  gparted and create a new partition
[15:58] <Teisei> usamahashimi: No it doesn't, it runs well :)
[15:58] <[T]ank> NetM: isnt that the same as gparted? that also does not work
[15:58] <Teisei> And fast
[15:58] <lefix> hwilde: k
[15:58] <snek> usamahashimi: doubt it, i get my full 1MB/s with uTorrent under both Wine and on my Windows machine
[15:58] <[T]ank> unless I do not know what I am doing ;-)
[15:58] <ndlovu> alex_21, it works fine on my system, but the interface is still not text based and it might seem the same to you as the original theme, is that a possibility?
[15:59] <lefix> hwilde and now?
[15:59] <nightclaw> thx, i apt-get --purge remove landscape 'ed do i have to do something else to get rid of it?
[15:59] <usamahashimi> Teisei, does the selection of torrent client affects download speed, i mean that some clients give you more speed and some give less speed?
[15:59] <NetM> i added another language to my keyboard , how can i change it ? i tried ctrl + shift but didnt work.
[15:59] <lefix> hwilde i have to mention that i killed the update-notifier process
[15:59] <erbi> anybody?
[15:59] <Teisei> usamahashimi: I guess it doesn't matter which client you use :)
[15:59] <usamahashimi> snek, I am using Transmission, what do you think about it?
[16:00] <Teisei> I prefer Azureus though :)
[16:00] <bojtel> hwidle: you know anything about running 2 displays?
[16:00] <blunderbomb> is there a fix to the bugs in net manager.7 yet?
[16:00] <nightclaw> Transmission is basic
[16:00] <[T]ank> its only shows my /dev/sda in my devices list.
[16:00] <usamahashimi> Teisei, Guess! So you are not sure :)
[16:01] <snek> usamahashimi: i have tried most other clients and uTorrent just seems fastest.. it's lite (azureus is quite bloated I find, thx to java) and Transmission has problems finding peers/connecting to trackers (just compared it today between a colleague and my box)
[16:01] <turuburu> guys what u propose for initial ubuntu security hardening. do u know any good guide?
[16:01] <usamahashimi> What do you think about Transmission (client)?
[16:01] <Teisei> usamahashimi: I haven't tried every bittorrent clients there are, but the ones I have tried have performed equally :)
 Hey, visually it is the original theme. I am not sure what you mean
[16:01] <[T]ank> usamahashimi: I use it. I like it
[16:01] <blunderbomb> any help?
[16:01] <Phase> In the Resolution settings, The refresh rate is set at 60Hz, but I have both 70 and 75 also, what kind of performance (boost/decrease) would this affect in changing it to a higher number?
[16:01] <Teisei> I'm using Gjiten and when I try to remove dictionaries from Preferences, the program crashes
[16:01] <ikonia> Phase quicker refresh rate, less flicker
[16:02] <snek> usamahashimi: wine is easy enough to setup: sudo aptitude install wine, then just download & install uTorrent like it's a normal windows program
[16:02] <Teisei> Can anybody help?
[16:02] <usamahashimi> Is there any plan for utorrent client for linux?
[16:02] <erbi> im trying to tweak my TCP performance so i can download faster + browse internet faster.. it has something to do with sysctl.conf and changing the scaling windows and such, who has done that? could i see your script?
[16:02] <ikonia> usamahashimi: speak to utorrent
[16:02] <bojtel> Phase: are you running twinview?
[16:02] <snek> dunno, they are working on a mac client.. so who knows :)
[16:02] <scopecreep> usamahashimi, utorrent is closed source, so it might be rough
[16:02] <Phase> bojtel, Never heard of it.
[16:02] <tv7497> guys well the comp guy just now fixed a nvidia graphics card for my new comp well it worked pretty cool with windows i tried to activate it in ubuntu by going to hardware drivers and i get nvidia accelerated graphics driver ver 173 and 177 i press on activate button it prompts me for my password then nothing happens could any one help me with this my model is gforce 9400 gt
[16:02] <snek> gotta go, laters all

[16:02] <usamahashimi> snek, yes, i have used wine, but in that case wine lies b/w your system and your os
[16:03] <usamahashimi> I think i should give wine and utorrent a try, thanks all of you :)
[16:03] <madsj> where can i find xmms ? it's (to me, it's a bit odd!) not availble in synaptic

[16:03] <madsj> audacious misses some features, that I appreciate greatly
[16:04] <Gnea> !xmms | madsj
[16:04] <ikonia> madsj: audacious is the closest thing
[16:04] <bojtel> CUPE: are you running 2 displays?
[16:04] <erUSUL> erbi: window scaling can only be disabled or enabled... disabling it will worsen your internet performance
[16:04] <usamahashimi> Jack_Sparrow, do you want to know how to install xmms?
[16:04] <dropper> I'd like to check my harddrive before I install Ubuntu, are there tools on the (8.1) install disk to do this??
[16:04] <Jack_Sparrow> blunderbomb you cant connect to internet with windows or ubuntu?
[16:04] <alex_21> I'll be back, thanks for all the help

[16:05] <ndlovu> alex_21, then I don't know. You could try change "GraphicalTheme=Human" to "GraphicalTheme=osx-login" in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf
[16:05] <Teisei> !audacious

Where can I start looking to see what is wrong? Should I go back to an earlier version of NM? Is there a config file around that needs some modification? Any work arounds? Any ideas?
[16:27] <lefix> gnea error code one, should i pastebin it

[16:28] <blunderbomb> that is my problem copied from site

[16:30] <lefix> gnea yes it has been re downloading (i think) but returned error code 1
[16:30] <fasta> Instead of something without the weird chars. There must be something wrong with the encoding.
[16:30] <jake_> can someone give me some help getting my wireless working please
[16:30] <fasta> Where can I change that in Firefox?
[16:30] <hwilde> Gnea, I've been telling him to update for hours but he can't seem to do it
[16:31] <rww> adrenaline: Did you figure out your screensaver problem yet? If not, open up your home folder, press Ctrl-H to show hiden files/folders, go to the .config folder and open user-dirs.dirs (it's a text file). Is XDG_PICTURES_DIR set to the right folder?
[16:31] <blunderbomb> hwilde, just type that all in and thats it?
[16:31] <fasta> And, where is Iceweasel in Ubuntu?
[16:32] <hwilde> blunderbomb, the first hting I told you will kill the network manager.  the second will force a dhcp request on your eth0 (wired interface)
[16:32] <Gnea> lefix: what number do you get from this:   dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep 2.6.27 | grep generic | grep image | wc -l

[16:33] <hjb> Hi. Can i use the ubuntu live cd (8.10) to boot a linux which is in /dev/hda4 ?
[16:33] <hjb> i can't figure the correct input to the boot prompt
[16:34] <rww> fasta: The whole point of iceweasel was to get around branding restrictions caused by Debian's refusal to package Firefox without updates unapproved by Mozilla. Ubuntu complies with Mozilla's update/branding policy, so it doesn't need Iceweasel.
[16:34] <bobthemil> I've got a bit of a problem installing ubuntu, and I've exhausted the internet to all of its resources
[16:34] <Gnea> lefix: okay - dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep 2.6.27 | grep generic | grep image  what does that say?
[16:34] <fasta> rww: the whole point was that Debian wanted to improve some stuff.
[16:34] <bobthemil> it's a bit of a long story, but my main problem is that the install program is segfaulting
[16:34] <fasta> rww: then the Mozilla guys said: fine, but you need to rebrand it.
[16:35] <fasta> rww: so, why doesn't Ubuntu have the same improvements?
[16:35] <Gnea> fasta: no, it was a licensing issue.
[16:35] <rww> fasta: If you look back at the discussion when it happened, it wasn't about improving anything. That came later.
[16:35] <blackpearl> how to access winXP NTFS partition on Ubuntu 8.10 (running in vbox)
[16:35] <fasta> rww: I read the discussion when it happened.
[16:35] <jake_> anyone able to help me with my wireless problems?
[16:36] <Gnea> fasta, rww: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naming_conflict_between_Debian_and_Mozilla
[16:36] <rww> fasta: Firstly, Mozilla got mad at Debian for unapproved packaging. Debian then turned around and decided that the branding policy was non-dfsg free. Then, we ended up with Iceweasel. Any customization or improvement of Iceweasel over Firefox came later.
[16:36] <fasta> rww: The Mozilla guys were afraid of getting a bad name in theory and legally that they were afraid of losing the brand.
[16:36] <bobthemil> long story short what i've done so far is download initrd.tar.gz and linux (the kernel) from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/i386/
[16:36] <fasta> rww: anyone could call something Firefox.
[16:36] <fasta> rww: they wanted to avoid that.
[16:36] <bobthemil> configured LILO to boot to that kernel with that initrd image
[16:36] <lefix> Gnea: ii  linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic              2.6.27-7.16                           Linux kernel image for version 2.6.27 on x86

[16:37] <fasta> rww: ok, but my actual problem is an encoding problem.
[16:37] <bobthemil> and then it says i have a kernel mismatch error (i hit ignore, as i can not find any archive from ubuntu.com that does not provide this mismatch error)
