[00:00] <bonez2046> trism: thanks a bunch!
[00:01] <Loren_Semple> sburwood:
[00:01] <airtonix> how do i find out what dbus path ubuntu maps the laptop lid to (i assume it will be different for different makes and models of latops), currently on my machine the laptop lid button maps to the dbus path of : /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_logicaldev_input_4
[00:01] <Loren_Semple> Elrox: ?
[00:01] <sensae> how do I temporarily kill X without it autorestarting?
[00:01] <Wubuntu> I have a Nvidia GeForce4 MX 420 video card that gives me screen resolution problems with Ubuntu 9.10. Can anyone please off me any assistance with this problem?
[00:02] <brjann> sensae: you should be able to use     sudo gdm stop
[00:02] <garhol> wubuntu: i'm on the 440mx. what problems you having?
[00:02] <Wubuntu> even with the proprietary driver,...i have to change screen resolution each time i reboot
[00:02] <sensae> brjann: Nope
[00:03] <Elrox> Loren_Semple, yes?
[00:03] <brjann> sensae: oh, damn, my fault. i meant   sudo service gdm stop
[00:03] <Loren_Semple> Elrox: I just got back, wondering if that problem got solved where Ubuntu fails to load (see the splash, but after splash computer stops loading screen goes blank and can't do ctrl alt f1) ??
[00:03] <garhol> Wubuntu: I had this problem before. I fixed it by running the proprietary app with gksudo and then saving the settings. it's a permissions thing if i remember
[00:05] <Elrox> Loren_Semple, all i have found is to try    sudo update-grub
[00:05] <Wubuntu> how do i get this proprietary app?
[00:05] <scivi> wubuntu use synapic package manager to install nvidia-settings
[00:06] <shannonbrimer> that was odd
[00:06] <Wubuntu> i already have the nvidia-settings manager
[00:06] <Wubuntu> this card doesn't seem to save the resolution to Xorg
[00:06] <scivi> k run it in root mode
[00:06] <garhol> Wubuntu: once you are using the proprietoty driver then nvidia-settings should be available
[00:06] <iceroot> Wubuntu: that is not part of the card
[00:06] <garhol> Wubuntu: that's correct. that's where it was going wrong with me
[00:07] <iceroot> Wubuntu: also, on karmic there is not xorg.conf
[00:07] <Wubuntu> X11?
[00:07] <garhol> Wubuntu: xorg got removed in 9.10 so there was a bit of a workaround to get nvidia-settings to create the corret file
[00:08] <lantizia> Hey how do I swap between NTSC/PAL for TV Out?  (no theres no proprietary drivers)
[00:08] <garhol> Wubuntu: like iceroot said :)
[00:08] <DBeets> what replaced xorg.conf?
[00:08] <JrodDCx> lantizia:  let me guess a ATI card ?
[00:08] <lantizia> It detects my TV and I see it in System | Preferences | Display
[00:08] <lantizia> JrodDCx, no Intel
[00:09] <lantizia> It even sends output to my TV and the Fn+CRT/LCD button works
[00:09] <lantizia> But it's sending NTSC instead of PAL
[00:09] <brjann> Wubuntu: I don't know if this is your problem, but another user was having similar issues the other day. someone in #gnome told him to   mv ~/.configure/monitors.xml ~/.configure/monitors.xml.bak    and restart gnome
[00:10] <bitfox> hi
[00:10] <garhol> Wubuntu: create a blank xorg.conf then the settings can be written in there by the nvidia app.
[00:10] <garhol> Wubuntu: there isn't one as default but when there is one it gets read (if i am reading back correctly)
[00:10] <lantizia> Is there meant to be a built in option for configuring TV Out?
[00:11] <Loren_Semple> Elrox: fixed
[00:11] <Loren_Semple> for some reason
[00:11] <eXe__^> hwllo..
[00:11] <cyberbluntz> hi
[00:11] <Elrox> Loren_Semple, ??? what did it?
[00:11] <brjann> !hi
[00:11] <Elrox> Loren_Semple, please share?
[00:11] <Loren_Semple> I did the recovery mode (option 2 boot from grub)
[00:12] <Loren_Semple> then it came to a menu which offered to update grub, fix broken packages, free up disk space
[00:12] <eXe__^> can anyone help me install ubuntu? plz.. im a fast learner
[00:12] <eXe__^> its textmode
[00:12] <Loren_Semple> fixing broken packages and updating grub seemed to fix it
[00:12] <eXe__^> no fuXXng liveshit
[00:12] <cyberbluntz> hey you guys want to talk about conficker?
[00:13] <jcrump40> Enter text here...anyone here have issues accepting user license when installing world of warcraft?
[00:13] <faileas> hmm. if karmic has upstart, why dosen't it have an init dir, and scripts there?
[00:13] <bitfox> @garhol: i had a similar problem last week... but xorg.conf file cannot be write by local user... You must be root in order to do that operation
[00:14] <bitfox> @garhol: sudo nvidia-settings
[00:14] <bitfox> @garhol: ok?
[00:14] <cyberbluntz> jcrump40, your going to have to check the technical support at www.worldofwarcraft.com
[00:14] <Wubuntu> Karmic 9.10 doesn't use "xorg",...or doesn't have a xorg.config file after installation?
[00:15] <bitfox> I have a little problem with notifications icon in karmic
[00:15] <Typos_King> Wubuntu:   no but you can give it one
[00:15] <jcrump40> thanks for the information
[00:15] <Wubuntu> how do i create a black xorg file?
[00:16] <Wubuntu> *how do i create a BLANK xorg.conf?
[00:16] <bitfox> @Wubuntu: save an old copy of xorg.conf file
[00:16] <garhol> Bitfox: yup Wubuntu: sudo touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[00:16] <sensae> ikonia: You still around? I got my RAID rebuilt, did that pastebin of my mdadm.conf look fine? Do I just need to add 1 to the device lines?
[00:17] <iceroot> Wubuntu: sudo touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[00:17] <bitfox> @Wubuntu: I created a backup copy of my xorg.conf file
[00:17] <Typos_King> Wubuntu:   yes, a blank one, and then you can add stuff
[00:18] <zondo> test
[00:18] <brjann> !hi | zondo
[00:18] <zondo> brjann: ty
[00:19] <JrodDCx> brjann:  you love making the bot  talk huh ?  hahah its fun!
[00:19] <bitfox> @Wubuntu: After, I launched my nvidia-settings through sudo, after I selected various options I saved and the nvidia tool create all stuff in xorg.conf
[00:19] <compuman> !host
[00:19] <bitfox> @Wubuntu: ok?
[00:20] <brjann> JrodDCx: no sense in repeating myself, that's what it's for :)
[00:20] <Random832> is there a list of all the things ubottu knows?
[00:20] <Elrox> Loren_Semple, i found that updating grub does fix the issue, but does not explain how it got foobar'd in the first place... that would be great info
[00:20] <brjann> Random832: yes, see http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi
[00:20] <Flynsarmy> Is it possible to see what's inside a .tar.gz file from the terminal window?
[00:20] <cyberbluntz> I thought the term was fubar
[00:21] <brjann> Flynsarmy: yes, try   tar lf <filename>
[00:21] <cyberbluntz> effed up beyond all recognition
[00:22] <garhol> bitfox: sorry, missed that message. yeah, sudo nvidia-settings once the blank xorg is there and it should drop in the correct info
[00:22] <Flynsarmy> brjann, tar: Semantics of -l option will change in the future releases. Please use --one-file-system option instead. You must specify one of the `-Acdtrux' options
[00:22] <cyberbluntz> umm no
[00:22] <iceroot> !gksudo
[00:22] <cyberbluntz> gksudo *
[00:22] <eXe__^> whats the first 5 steps to install ubuntu in textmode?
[00:22] <Wubuntu> does it make a difference whether you open the nvidia settings manager through terminal(sud)  or opening the program through system, etc?
[00:22] <bitfox> why does notifications pop-up appear under the right corner under the watch with any blank space?
[00:22] <eXe__^> help me out here.. im a quick learner
[00:22] <brjann> Flynsarmy: oh my. one second :)
[00:23] <iceroot> eXe__^: ?
[00:23] <getenv> n
[00:23] <iceroot> eXe__^: look at the display?
[00:23] <Craig_Dem> eXe__^: Google will have lots of guides.
[00:23] <brjann> Flynsarmy: oops, sorry, typo. tar tf <filename>
[00:24] <getenv> chat
[00:24] <bloom> hi
[00:24] <Flynsarmy> brjann, perfect, thanks :)
[00:24] <cyberbluntz> hi
[00:24] <brjann> Flynsarmy: you're welcome :)
[00:25] <bitfox> @Wubuntu: sudo allow you to launch nvidia panel with root privileges so the xorg.conf file can be easily modified
[00:25] <adamf> hey, everyone. been a while since i last used ubuntu. i'm thinking about putting it on my old laptop (hp pavillion with an ati video card), dual booted with windows 7. is this pretty easy to do?
[00:25] <arf`> here the problem: with xubuntu hardy on a dell laptop with fglrx driver and 2.6.32 kernel, the monitor's power saving doesn't work anymore after a while
[00:25] <cyberbluntz> I dont think there is supposed to be a difference between running the gksudo at the terminal or running the xserver?
[00:26] <brjann> bitfox, Wubuntu: if you're launching a graphical program, you should really use gksu
[00:26] <garhol> Wubuntu: as bitfox says. i don't rightly remember how i got mine to stay there but I think I used gksudo the first time.
[00:26] <GeekSquid> cyberbluntz: there is ... read the psychocats link I gave you
[00:26] <bitfox> @Wubuntu: I tried to launch it as normal user from system panel-> admin... but nvidia-setting was not able to save configuration in xorg.conf
[00:26] <Satoru-san> You can just use CFLAGS="-march=native"
[00:27] <Satoru-san> oops wrong channel
[00:27] <Wubuntu> sudo nvidia-settings-manager?
[00:28] <JrodDCx> Wubuntu:  Yes
[00:29] <bitfox> @Wubuntu: I use: $sudo nvidia-settings
[00:29] <bitfox> @Wubuntu: It works for me
[00:29] <sensae> Doing an fdisk /dev/sdb shows one partition, ext4. But /dev/sdb1 doesn't exist.
[00:29] <bitfox> @Wubuntu: I'm able to select options and save them in xorg.conf file
[00:30] <Typos_King> cyberbluntz:    wha?
[00:30] <danny_> does anyone know with the sort command what option would I use if I'm looking to sort processes by max to min usage?
[00:30] <JrodDCx> sensae:  I would trying useing Gparted so you can see ewveything better !
[00:30] <parolang> Question...does Ubuntu have easy support for nouveau driver for video?
[00:30] <walidx> hello
[00:30] <walidx> possible to ssh over an http proxy using proxychains or would i need to use a socks proxy?
[00:31] <bitfox> @Wubuntu: I'm sorry.. but i must be off now... bye bye
[00:31] <JrodDCx> parolang:  Not in 9.10 it's coming in the next edtion , i owuld use the real driver anyway :)
[00:31] <Wubuntu> thankyou,...this time the save worked
[00:31] <bitfox> bye
[00:31] <JrodDCx> bye...
[00:31] <Wubuntu> bye bitfox,...and thanks again
[00:31] <Typos_King> danny_     ..... sort processes..... you mean from a text dump?
[00:31] <parolang> JrodDCx: I'm having problems with the proprietary driver on Debian stable.
[00:32] <Wubuntu> thanks to all of you for your help
[00:32] <Typos_King> danny_   if you're just looking for a quickie.... try maybe 'qps' is a visual process manager, and you can sort by clicking on the provided colunmn tab
[00:32] <sensae> Looks like the superblock for the partition is gone - how do I repair the superblock without losing the partition?
[00:32] <JrodDCx> parolang:  9.10 is a bit diffrent then debian stable i think
[00:32] <JrodDCx> they fixed and broke some things
[00:32] <garhol> Wubuntu: congrats :)
[00:33] <parolang> JrodDCx: Okay...I'm burning the CD now, so hoping for the best :)
[00:33] <Guest14343> hi, i have a question, I have a intel integrated video card and i'm trying to fix the driver, but there is no xorg.conf!! where is it? or how can i generate one?
[00:34] <garhol> Guest14343: xorg.conf is no longet there in 9.10. create a blank one with sudo touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[00:34] <Maletor> How could I set up Ubuntu as a SIP server (for VOIP phones)?
[00:34] <JrodDCx> parolang:  Good luck , if worst comes to worst you can install newer drivers too :) (From nvidia)
[00:34] <bitsmart> hi folks I am trying to get MPD set up, and when I go to create the db I get this error: listen: Failed to listen on localhost (line 69): Address already in use. is this a conflict in /etc/hosts or something?
[00:35] <danny_> well I'm creating a shell script that needs to display the top processes by sorting them from max to min usage...
[00:35] <mimi1> ciao
[00:35] <bitfox> @Wubuntu: You're welcome!
[00:35] <arf`> here the problem: with xubuntu hardy on a dell laptop with fglrx driver and 2.6.32 kernel, the monitor's power saving doesn't work anymore after a while, and I can't find any reason. After booting, it works for a time (if I stop using the computer for 10mn, themonitor goes to sleep), and at a moment it doesn't work anymore (even if I force the screensaver, no more sleeping). I can't find anything in any log relating to power saving, nor find what could make
[00:35] <bitfox> bye bye
[00:35] <mimi1> !list
[00:35] <Guest14343> garhol: and can I add only a the lines with the stuff i want to get configured, or does it have a full configuration file?
[00:36] <NewWorld> arf`:  Is it only the monitor switching off or suspend aswell?
[00:36] <garhol> Guest14343: try sudo Xorg -configure  that should make an initial config for you I think.
[00:36] <Jeangleur> i need help with my webcam and gspca
[00:36] <Guest14343> ok thanks
[00:36] <Maletor> How could I set up Ubuntu as a SIP server (for VOIP phones)?
[00:37] <mylisto2> I'm curious to know if there is a good flash authoring tool for Ubuntu?
[00:37] <arf`> NewWorld: suspend (I didn't try to switch off as it is a laptop)
[00:37] <GeekSquid> mylisto2: nope... Adobe has the monopoly
[00:37] <JrodDCx> true
[00:37] <archboxman> http://imagebin.org/86912 conky awesome :)
[00:37] <mylisto2> really?
[00:38] <NewWorld> arf`:  Suspend aswell? YOu didn't answer the question properly :P
[00:38] <bitsmart> hi folks I am trying to get MPD set up, and when I go to create the db I get this error: listen: Failed to listen on localhost (line 69): Address already in use. is this a conflict in /etc/hosts or something?
[00:38] <Jeangleur> everytime I use my webcam (skype, cheese), it wouldn't work properly and the message is "libv4lconvert: Error decompressing JPEG: unknown huffman code: 0000ffff"
[00:38] <Jeangleur> what can I do?
[00:38] <arf`> I tried to relaunch the screensaver, as well as the xfce-power-manager
[00:38] <danny_> ps -eo user,pid,ppid,%mem,fname | sort ?? | head -5
[00:39] <arf`> NewWorld: suspend aswell?
[00:39] <mylisto2> jeangleur: did it ever work?
[00:39] <NewWorld> arf`:  Can you answer my question directly and in a valid format? lol
[00:39] <arf`> NewWorld: I understood "as well", don't know aswell :/
[00:39] <NewWorld> arf`:  We are syntactically inflexible xD
[00:39] <Jeangleur> mylisto2: not on this ubuntu, but yes, I remember like four month ago, it worked
[00:40] <arthur_1> anyone know how to brows the files on a HTC Hero? here is my dmesg | tail http://pastebin.com/amk01TPT and i followed this page.. http://www.htc.com/us/support/hero-sprint/help/synchronization
[00:40] <arf`> NewWorld: seems to, but I'm syntactically a french… so
[00:40] <Jeangleur> mylisto2: didn't use it for long, upgraded,... and now that I need it...
[00:40] <mylisto2> I remember I had to do some work around on 8.04 to get it to work
[00:40] <arthur_1> i cant seem to just plug in the hero and brows the files on the sd card...?
[00:40] <Jeangleur> mylisto2: maybe I should go back to 8.04?
[00:40] <arthur_1> uname
[00:40] <Jeangleur> is this possible?
[00:41] <mylisto2> maybe?
[00:41] <NewWorld> arf`:  I had that with Ubuntu aswell in GNOME... sometimes the screen switched off sometimes it wouldn't at all... it was really annoying. I switched to KDE sometime later, it uses PowerDevil... and everything worked fine
[00:41] <arthur_1> Linux hp-desktop 2.6.31-19-generic #56-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 28 01:26:53 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
[00:42] <Jeangleur> mylisto2: I just caonnot compile the gspca with its ptch needed... always error "error: asm/semaphore.h: No such file or directory"
[00:42] <Jeangleur> mylisto2: are you good in this stuff? I am not
[00:42] <brjann> arf`: if you would prefer, the #ubuntu-fr channel is the official ubuntu support channel in French :) (or #ubuntu-qc if you are Quebecois)
[00:43] <Jeangleur> mylisto2: but I am sitting since eight hours (no kidding) to try to get it done
[00:43] <arf`> NewWorld: ok, so aswell is a manager? anyway, I've nothing related to aswell on my computer
[00:43] <dexley> hi yall
[00:43] <Jeangleur> mylisto2:  here is the kgspca.err file output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/385916/
[00:43] <GeekSquid> arthur_1: in order to do that you will need to install the Android Dev version for the hero... or install openssh on the hero and connect remotely ... android development environment for linux works as a VM but using the hero as a mass storage device is not possible
[00:43] <mylisto2> jengleur: I am not good at this stuff as well, sorry
[00:44] <NewWorld> arf`:  No lol, that was my mistake. You're right it should be 'as well' instead.
[00:44] <arf`> brjann: yeah, I'm on too, but there a far less competence than here actually, especially at this time (night for us)
[00:44] <arf`> NewWorld: uh, ok, let's have fun ;)
[00:44] <brjann> arf`: no problem, just wanted to make sure you were aware :)
[00:45] <dexley> i am in trouble ppl. no video is workin for me! even vlc , image is only in One third of the screen and no color! help! i am lost! :)
[00:45] <dexley> the rest of the screen is black!
[00:45] <hipitihop> if I have a machine which allows ssh access, but my router also port forwards some voip related ports, namely 5060 and 10000-20000 then I want to secure this machine a litlle more.. is it possible to restrict ssh to my internal network ? or is that not enough from a security pov
[00:45] <NewWorld> dexley:  Have you used Mplayer or xine engines?
[00:45] <dexley> yes NewWorld
[00:45] <dexley> :(
[00:46] <mylisto2> jengleur: just stay in this channel, I'm sure someone can help you
[00:46] <brjann> hipitihop: if your router doesn't forward your ssh port, ssh isn't accessible from outside your LAN
[00:46] <NewWorld> dexley:  Try to play an ogg video file, they are natively supported. See if it works; that will give us some useful info to work on.
[00:46] <archboxman> Jeangleur: that may not work in this kernel version when it says floating point fails ... it will not install because it was not meant for this kernel..
[00:46] <arf`> dexley: it smells like dri problem, but unsure
[00:46] <shadows090> is anyone familiar with java? I'm trying to run a very simple "hello world" and am getting a weird error
[00:46] <hipitihop> brjann, indeed.... any other precautions I should take since those ports are technically open ?
[00:47] <Jeangleur> archboxman: so what can I do?
[00:47] <NewWorld> shadows090:  ubuntu related?
[00:47] <shadows090> NewWorld yes
[00:47] <dexley> okay NewWorld i try it in a sec!
[00:47] <archboxman> Jeangleur: sorry I just woke up... so give the basics of your problem
[00:47] <NewWorld> shadows090:  Put on pastebin, I know a little java lol
[00:47] <rastasean> hello geniuses. i'm trying to get FTP working in ubuntu. the connection is active, the port is active, but anonymous cannot upload filezilla on windows reports its because permission denied. any assistance?
[00:47] <danny_> hey Typos_King the one line in my script looks like this....ps -eo user,pid,ppid,%mem,fname | sort ??? |  head -5
[00:47] <shadows090> well, i'm in Ubuntu, i'm not sure if the particular error is ubuntu related. what do you mean put on pastebin?
[00:48] <Jeangleur> archboxman: is there any way I can make my cam work? it should be working in karmic out of the box. it is logitec E2500 quickcam
[00:48] <Jeangleur> but it somehow doesn't
[00:48] <NewWorld> shadows090:  Post the relevant code and error onto pastebin.com and send the link for that post.
[00:48] <Jeangleur> archboxman: I tried ubuntu-ive-usb, all the same
[00:48] <tweiseman> what are the terminal commands to manually connect to internet via ethernet?
[00:48] <hipitihop> is there a linux security channel ?
[00:48] <archboxman> Jeangleur: most of the logistic cames need to have the driver compiled...
[00:48] <NewWorld> rastasean:  Is the FTP server on Ubuntu or windows? Are you uploading or downloading from the server?
[00:48] <danny_> I just don't know how to sort the processes from max to min usage using the sort command...
[00:48] <Jeangleur> archboxman: what can I do?
[00:48] <zenwryly> Is there a way to configure karmic to keep building packages for Python 2.5?
[00:48] <zenwryly> err
[00:49] <zenwryly> Is there a way to configure karmic to keep building packages for Python 2.4?
[00:49] <brjann> hipitihop: if your voip application is running, those ports will connect to it. if the voip application isn't running, those ports will appear closed. so you should be fine
[00:49] <NewWorld> danny_:  the command ps can sort by CPU usage
[00:49] <archboxman> Jeangleur: most of the logistic Camereas need the drive compiled they don't make a debian driver....
[00:50] <archboxman> sorry Waking up ....
[00:50] <NewWorld> tweiseman:  Google for a tutorial. I'm sure there are plenty.
[00:50] <shadows090> NewWorld. pastebin is http://pastebin.com/VGq9EzZF
[00:50] <Jeangleur> archboxman:  no problem. I am online since ten hours trying to get it done. will go to bed soon
[00:50] <brjann> !google > NewWorld
[00:50] <Jeangleur> archboxman:  do you have any idea?
[00:50] <Jeangleur> archboxman: how can I compile it?
[00:50] <hipitihop> brjann, thanks.... so really the only thing I should consider is I am also running a wireless network here and booth wired machines and wirless machines are on same network (arguably should have seperate but a bit hard at the moment) , so I should probably restrict which machines are allowed to log into others
[00:51] <archboxman> Jeangleur: yes you need to try to backport the camera....
[00:51] <Jeangleur> archboxman: how is that?
[00:51] <shadows090> NewWorld, the confusion is that i cannot run it when i'm in the directory. only when i'm in another directory.
[00:51]  * shadows090 is confused
[00:51] <dexley> NewWorld the sound is workin great but not videos! i can listen sounds correctly
[00:51] <manas> how to open pidgen?
[00:51] <archboxman> Jeangleur: hold up... need coffee.. give me the model??
[00:51] <shadows090> manas: pidgen should be in applications-> internet
[00:51] <NewWorld> shadows090:  That is weird... I don't know why. Sorry.
[00:51] <Jeangleur> archboxman: Quickcam E2500
[00:52] <shadows090> NewWorld, not a problem. thanks for taking a few to look into it

[00:52] <brjann> hipitihop: you could lock ssh down further if you wanted to. you might take a look at tcpwrappers: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/09/02/network-security-with-tcpwrappers-hostsallow-and-hostsdeny/
[00:53] <NewWorld> dexley:  Is there anything you changed recently that you think could have affected this?
[00:53] <shadows090> manas: you could run reinstall via synaptics packet manager under system.  i know it sounds like an extra step but it works for me
[00:53] <Jeangleur> archboxman:hey, I am on this since ten hours (no kidding) of course it does find it
[00:53] <shadows090> Manas: just uninstall, apply, install, and apply

[00:53] <hipitihop> brjann, thanks very much, will read up
[00:53] <Jeangleur> archboxman: ;-)
[00:53] <archboxman> Jeangleur: slow down I see you..
[00:54] <brjann> hipitihop: for example, I forward ssh through my router, but I've set up /etc/hosts.allow to only allow connections from my local network and my network at work

[00:54] <brjann> hipitihop: you're welcome, good luck :)
[00:54] <archboxman> Jeangleur: tell me what is different about your attempt to install??
[00:54] <shadows090> pidgin* oops :-/ lol
[00:54] <hipitihop> brjann, I see.. is it posisble to do based on MAC
[00:55] <Typos_King> danny_    ->   ps -eo user,pid,ppid,%mem,fname | sort -k 4;   thereabouts
[00:56] <brjann> hipitihop: hm, I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's based solely on IP addresses/subnets.
[00:56] <Jeangleur> archboxman: that when I go trying sudo ./gspca_build, the kgspca.err (the error file) says http://paste.ubuntu.com/385916/
[00:56] <hipitihop> brjann, ok, thanks I'll readup and go from there. cheers
[00:56] <archboxman> Jeangleur: did you remove the old gspca module because it will conflict with the module...

[00:59] <NewWorld> dexley:  If kaffeine will work fine like DragonPlayer then you know that the xine engine works good. And it must be a problem with the other engines.
[01:00] <progre55> hi people! I've installed eucaliptus.. but with wrong configs.. how do I remove it and re-install so that it asks to configure it again? a simple remove does not remove the configs..
[01:00] <dexley> NewWorld: the other engines?
[01:00] <progre55> I mean, remove by apt*
[01:00] <shadows090> ae86: fuser -m /dev/sda1 (or whichever the device is) and it should show ou the process keeping it busy
[01:01] <JustChilN> oops closed the room

[01:02] <sensae> I have files in an ext4 partition, but for some reason the partition table is messed up and it won't mount - I need to get the files off this partition, help?

[01:02] <shadows090> sensae: What error do you get?
[01:03] <dexley> NewWorld: u rock
[01:03] <sensae> shadows090: Device or mount point busy, I believe
[01:03] <RedXIII> hey I'm having a problem getting ubuntu to install. I burned a copy of the 9.10 dvd and attempted to install it. Went through all the setup screens in text-mode installation and after it automatically restarted all I have is a blinking cursor in the top left corner
[01:03] <RedXIII> ran the check disc for errors and compared the checksum on the iso file
[01:03] <NewWorld> dexley:  lol I don't think we fixed anything :/
[01:03] <sensae> shadows090: fdisk shows one linux partition, but in dev it shows up as sdc, sdc1 doesn't exist.

[01:05] <NewWorld> sensae:  DON'T attempt to fix any filesystem errors before recovering what you can from the volume. I did this and lost a lot of stuff.
[01:05] <progre55> Typos_King: cool, let me try, thanks man
[01:05] <NewWorld> dexley:  So try kaffeine to see if it plays properly :)
[01:05] <sensae> NewWorld: What would you suggest? I'm just trying to get it to mount so I can move files off the volume and wipe it completely
[01:05] <Dr_Willis> emergion: Theres proberly not going to be an official 3.6 - if you want it. Use the ppa - I use the 'stable' ppa
[01:05] <Typos_King> RedXIII:    ... did you say you finished installing it, or isn't showing up grub? or?
[01:06] <Dr_Willis> emergion:  i imagine most people are using the 'stable' ppa. or the 'daily build' ppa
[01:06] <dexley> NewWorld: kaffeine is askin for demux plugin; im about to give it to him!

[01:06] <RedXIII> Typos_King: I walked away from my computer while it was installing, but I saw it restart itself
[01:06] <NewWorld> sensae:  Mine couldn't mount aswell... there is an application called R-Linux which allowed me to recover all that I could.
[01:06] <shadows090> sensae: what is the device name you are trying to mount?
[01:06] <emergion> Dr_Willis, where can I get that from ? Why no official 3.6?
[01:06] <Typos_King> RedXIII:    .so... .you get to a Grub screen?
[01:06] <RedXIII> I assume it finished installing, now all I have on the screen is a blinking cursor and all inputs are unresponsive
[01:07] <NitaiPal> i have some questions
[01:07] <sensae> NewWorld: can I apt-get it?
[01:07] <Typos_King> RedXIII:    reboot then... to see if you get to a Grub screen

[01:08] <NitaiPal> i want to switch from the 64 bit architecture to 32 bit one (the latest version of ubuntu that i just downloaded) because 64 bit just isn't worth the trouble and i want my computer to work smoothly without the probs which i can perhaps solve but don't have the time to solve ... thanks for answering my question

[01:10] <Typos_King> RedXIII:    but you never saw it end either

[01:10] <RedXIII> I would have imagined a big red box saying "FAIL" with some sort of error and wait for input

[01:13] <NitaiPal> LavaEagle, like 120
[01:13] <histo> RedXIII: okay boot it back up select Try Ubuntu from the menu
[01:13] <RedXIII> nope, installed from the text-mode installer. I thought it would be faster.
[01:13] <histo> RedXIII: yea so you downloaded the alternate iso?
[01:13] <histo> !grub | RedXIII
[01:14] <NitaiPal> LavaEagle, actually , 250 to be exact
[01:14] <histo> RedXIII: I would check the media first then follow those instructons for fixing grub
[01:14] <shadows090> FLOYD, i would suggest checking the md5sum
[01:14] <sensae> shadows090: I just took a really really risky move and fixed it. I did an fdisk /dev/sdb and rewrote the partition table, I got it to mount.
[01:14] <histo> RedXIII: by media I mean do a check of the install disc
[01:14] <shadows090> sensae: very bold lol. well done
[01:14] <donvito> hello guys my video webcam is work everywere but not in skype how is it posible

[01:14] <Scarra3> Im trying to setup eclipse so that I can program in java so I installed eclipse and openjdk but when I tryed to compile a program it didn't compile
[01:15] <RedXIII> I'll try the restore grub thing now I spose.
[01:15] <histo> RedXIII: then I would try to follow the instructions from ubottu for installing grub
[01:15] <shadows090> Scarra3: what was the error?
[01:15] <histo> RedXIII: that or a reinstall and make sure its not hanging. After the files are copied you have ot enter user information etc...
[01:15] <sensae> shadows090: I believe mdadm recognized it as a raid device and ate it's superblock
[01:15] <histo> RedXIII: did it prompt you for that?
[01:15] <RedXIII> it prompted for user information
[01:15] <shadows090> sensae: well i'm glad you got it figured out. i wouldn't have thought to point you in that direction
[01:16] <Scarra3> shadow090 no error it just wouln't compile it said it cant find the java compiler
[01:16] <shadows090> Scarra: are you doing it through the terminal? or are you running through the eclipse IDE?
[01:16] <histo> RedXIII: and you told it to reboot?
[01:16] <histo> RedXIII: removed the cd and hit enter?
[01:16] <RedXIII> It automatically rebooted
[01:16] <RedXIII> oh.. didn't prompt me to hit enter
[01:16] <RedXIII> should I assume the install hit an error?
[01:16] <m0in> hey
[01:16] <LavaEagle> NitaiPal: 1. Restart your computer with Ubuntu 32bit.  2. Under Administration select partition editor(manager).  3.  Create a 50gig partition(or however much you need) 4. Copy the files you want onto that partition.  5. Install Ubuntu 32bit.  6. select the large partition where Ubuntu 64bit was and install there
[01:17] <Inconis>   your are qikly...

[01:17] <NewWorld> !patience > donvito
[01:17] <LavaEagle> NitaiPal: after you are done installing grab the files from that partition, then put the live cd in again and delete that partition and join it with your Primary disk, or leave it for backups.
[01:18] <m0in> how do you get the original login screen
[01:18] <m0in> back
[01:18] <histo> !home | NitaiPal
[01:18] <RedXIII> wouldn't respond to me holding the power button, so I unplugged it. Had to wait 30 seconds before it would turn back on
[01:18] <shadows090> scarra: do you have java runtime installed?
[01:18] <histo> NitaiPal: all you ahve to do is put your /home in a seperate partition then you can reinstall / or change distros and all your files will be saved.
[01:18] <histo> RedXIII: ? sounds like you might be having other issues.
[01:18] <shadows090> scarra: you can check by typing in "java -v" or "java -version" (one or the other) in the term
[01:18] <NitaiPal> lemme read all of that one sec

[01:25] <ActionParsnip> Lavaeagle: tutorial for what?
[01:25] <xguru> n4cht: just ask
[01:25] <NitaiPal> LavaEagle, the main reason i'm doing this is because my cpu Fan is too loud
[01:25] <LavaEagle> Installing the 32lib
[01:25] <m0in> histo: or revert it to orig. screen
[01:25] <histo> m0in: yeah thats in there.
[01:25] <aKoN-MaN> sweet
[01:25] <aKoN-MaN> ty
[01:26] <LavaEagle> NitaiPal: what about the other problems you were experiencing?  i was recently on it that very OS and didn't have any trouble
[01:26] <NitaiPal> LavaEagle,  i have a inspiron 530
[01:26] <n4cht> i'm getting a new cpu fan/heatsink combo that looks like a wicked turbine, once i buy my danger den torture bench.
[01:26] <ActionParsnip> Lavaeagle: you will install the app. When it moans about deps you will need to download the 32bit deb, extract it, then place the .so file in /usr/lib32
[01:26] <histo> m0in: you can get new themes from gnome-look.org as well
[01:26] <NitaiPal> LavaEagle, youtube works on and off and i have to somestimes switch between browsers and stuff
[01:26] <garhol> tarehart: what is the problem with jitter?
[01:26] <m0in> histo: thanks, i will look
[01:26] <ActionParsnip> Akon-man: uname -a ,will show the running kernel
[01:26] <Dr_Willis> m0in:  for the gdm in 9.10 theres a tool called Epidermis that can install alternative themes for it.  Also some tools I got listed at  http://delicious.com/dr_willis/gdm2  (i think)
[01:26] <Red_HamsterX> n4cht, Zalmans are nice, but what's that got to do with Ubuntu?
[01:27] <newclimb> there is anyway to work with touchscreen in a laptop toshiba running ubuntu
[01:27] <tarehart> the cursor shakes a few pixels back and forth when my finger is still
[01:27] <n4cht> Red_HamsterX: NitaiPal was talking about having a cpu fan that's too loud.
[01:27] <histo> LavaEagle: NitaiPal they have 64bit flash now if thats what you guys are talking about.
[01:27] <Dr_Willis> newclimb:  ive seen linux laptops with touchscreens befor. But never owned one.
[01:27] <ActionParsnip> Akon-man: dpkg -l | grep linux-image ,will list the installed kernels. Remove the ones that AREN'T the one you are running
[01:27] <LavaEagle> NitaiPal: histo is right
[01:27] <histo> newclimb: shouldn't matter what type of computer the touchscreen is on
[01:28] <ActionParsnip> Akon-man: then run: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove ,to remove the modules and fluff
[01:28] <tarehart> I found a website that suggested that the driver might not be averaging the input like it should
[01:28] <n4cht> Red_HamsterX: also... i didn't realize this isn't OT... lol.  new irssi theme and i forgot to add channel name to statusbar.
[01:28] <LavaEagle> NitaiPal: but if your cpu is unable to handle the OS definately drop down and you have a far better time.
[01:28] <histo> LavaEagle: NitaiPal I've run 64bit for a long time everything works in it that I've ever used.
[01:28] <n4cht> i thought there was an awful lot of unfamiliar nicks.  lol
[01:28] <newclimb> histo: toshiba satelite u505
[01:28] <ActionParsnip> Akon-man: you can also use deborphan to remove orphaned packages to gain more space
[01:28] <histo> NitaiPal: What are you trying to do?
[01:28] <LavaEagle> histo: He is on an Inprion 540
[01:28] <aKoN-MaN> ok will give will try it out tyvm
[01:28] <histo> LavaEagle: and what was the question?
[01:29] <Scunizi> I have a xbox 360 dvd in my drive.. and can't mount it even with sudo mount /dev/dvdrw /media/cdrom0 .. How do I do this?
[01:29] <histo> newclimb: let me check something
[01:29] <garhol> tarehart: weird. no movement when your not holding a finger on the pad?
[01:29] <tarehart> garhol: that's correct
[01:29] <LavaEagle> histo: He wants to go from 64 bit Karmic to 32bitKarmic and backup 50 gigs with out an external drive
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> Should have a backup anyway
[01:30] <histo> NitaiPal: I would create a seperate home partition. Like I explained. Why would you switch from 64bit to 32bit?
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> No backup == data is disposable
[01:30] <tarehart> garhol: and it was fine on 8.04 and windows 7
[01:30] <NitaiPal> histo, im kinda fed up with 64 bit, about havin to do extra and not having everything working right away... n my CPU fan is always whirring ... even tho my system is pretty new and decent ... Dell inspiron 530 ... so im trynna sorta "downgrade" to 32 bit so as to not have to worry about things not working and stuff
[01:30] <histo> newclimb: should be recognized by usbtouchscreen at the kernel level
[01:31] <newclimb> histo: how can i do that?
[01:31] <LavaEagle> I feel dumb i thought that was an intel processor for some reason
[01:31] <Dr_Willis> Ive  cant think of any issues ive had with 64bit on my 3 mahines ive been using it on for the last 2+ yers
[01:31] <ActionParsnip> Nitaipal: check acpi settings etc. 100% works here for 64bit
[01:31] <claptrap> Dr_Willis: Same.
[01:31] <Dr_Willis> ive had MUCH more issues with 'brand new just came out' laptops .. :)
[01:31] <claptrap> Only problem I ever had was 64-bit Flashplayer.
[01:32] <garhol> tarehart: thinking, the synaptics touchpad stuff was listed in xorg.conf before but that is gone in 9.10 gimme a mo to look about
[01:32] <ActionParsnip> Claptrap: tried the 64bit native flash?
[01:32] <histo> NitaiPal: your not really downgrading
[01:32] <Dr_Willis> linux disrtos seem to take a few months to catch up to the new things in new laptops
[01:32] <claptrap> ActionParsnip: Yeah, that's the one that gave me problems.
[01:32] <tarehart> garhol: ok, thanks
[01:32] <histo> newclimb: let me do some more reading hold up
[01:32] <garhol> tarehart: out of interest, what make of system is it?
[01:32] <newclimb> histo: all right thanks
[01:33] <tarehart> asus
[01:33] <ActionParsnip> Claptrap: strange works great here. Different systems I guess
[01:33] <claptrap> ActionParsnip: Well, it works as far as Flash games themselves are concerned. The issues were with a specific site (Kongregate.com)
[01:33] <histo> newclimb: its a built in touchscreen?
[01:34] <claptrap> ActionParsnip: It uses a seperate domain server for Chat and website achivements, and for whatever reason, 64 bit flash didn't like to communicate with the java applets.
[01:34] <ActionParsnip> Claptrap: I play cyclomaniac on there. I use flashblock in chromium daily and block all flash except the game
[01:34] <histo> newclimb: I see there are fan issues with your laptop in ubuntu
[01:34] <claptrap> ActionParsnip: Really now.
[01:34] <ActionParsnip> Claptrap: totally
[01:34] <histo> newclimb: but i'm not seeing anything regarding a touchscreen on that model
[01:35] <ActionParsnip> Claptrap: also 64bit java using the file at www.java.com
[01:35] <NitaiPal> histo, what are the major differences between 64 bit and 32 bit anywyas
[01:35] <claptrap> ActionParsnip: That's... interesting. :E I tried Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Seamonkey to no avail.
[01:35] <ActionParsnip> Claptrap: nspluginwrapper sucks for me
[01:35] <ActionParsnip> Claptrap: I use chromium from the daily build ppa
[01:35] <histo> !64bit | NitaiPal
[01:35] <NewWorld> NitaiPal:  Compatibility. Some things don't work on 64 bit that do on 32 bit. 32bit is more compatible and better supported.
[01:36] <claptrap> ActionParsnip: D'you think I need 64 bit on both sides for it to work correctly, then?
[01:36] <Dr_Willis> I can only think of One app thats not on 64bit thats on 32. that i would use. :)
[01:36] <syn-ack> claptrap: nope
[01:36] <NitaiPal> so why 64 bit NewWorld ? no reason to right?
[01:36] <garhol> tarehart: sudo apt-get install gsynaptics  then turn down the minspead in there to slow. that should fix it
[01:36] <claptrap> ActionParsnip: Also, are youh having issues with flickering?
[01:36] <ActionParsnip> Claptrap: nspluginwrapper should handle it
[01:37] <Dr_Willis> 64bit is faster in a great many tasks. and improveing all the time
[01:37] <garhol> tarehart: sorry, should be minspeed
[01:37] <ActionParsnip> Claptrap: not here
[01:37] <NewWorld> NitaiPal:  Some argue it's faster at certain tasks, like the professional kind - video editing, number crunching,etc.
[01:37] <claptrap> ActionParsnip: You on Karmic?
[01:37] <ActionParsnip> Claptrap: lucid a3 but was identical in karmic
[01:37] <Dr_Willis> Given the CPU load just to play back some videos with some codecs.. its getting more and more noticeable
[01:37] <tarehart> garhol: that worked, thanks!
[01:37] <NitaiPal> NewWorld, nothing to do with better graphics and such right?
[01:37] <syn-ack> NewWorld: that's because under the right circumstances is is faster
[01:37] <devdz> hello im new with linux.. which commands to use to know which computers are interacting with any wireless
[01:37] <GoSox> i'm using KDE, how can i find out how much RAM a system has installed?
[01:38] <claptrap> ActionParsnip: Well, my bit of Googling has said it's been fixed in Lucid. I'm not comfortable enough to touch an alpha, though. :<
[01:38] <LavaEagle> ActionParsnip:  I'm not even able to install it so it can wine about reps.  If I found the source and compiled it?
[01:38] <ActionParsnip> Devdz: your router will tell you
[01:38] <garhol> tarehart: splendid :) have fun
[01:38] <NewWorld> NitaiPal:  I'm not sure about that sorry.
[01:38] <syn-ack> NitaiPal: the main reason you'd want to use 64 bit over 32 imo is because it natively handles more than 4 gigs of ram
[01:38] <tarehart> and wow, xorg.conf is really minimal these days
[01:38] <Dr_Willis> tarehart:  some of my systems have no xorg.conf
[01:38] <syn-ack> tarehart: Dbus FTW
[01:39] <garhol> tarehart: yup, been a few people on tonight with nvidia issues andthe lack of xorg has thrown them a bit
[01:39] <syn-ack> yeah, my systems don't have configs either
[01:39] <ActionParsnip> lavaeagle: you will need to force install it. If you have ia32-libs installed it will run
[01:39] <Dr_Willis> NitaiPal:  theres benchmarks on 64 vs 32 - dpending on what you do - you may want 64. I use 64 on all my machines
[01:39] <administrator_> help
[01:39] <ActionParsnip> Lavaeagle: is there not a ppa with a 64bit build?
[01:40] <NitaiPal> Dr_Willis, i just do simple browsing and watching movies and such ... which is better for me?
[01:40] <syn-ack> NitaiPal: in your case probably 32 bit
[01:40] <NewWorld> NitaiPal:  I'd say definetly 32bit, don't hassle yourself with 64
[01:40] <Dr_Willis> NitaiPal:  some video codecs these days can really suck down the cpu.
[01:40] <NitaiPal> Dr_Willis, so 32 bit wud b better for my CPU?
[01:40] <Dr_Willis> NitaiPal:  if you got more then 4 gb ram - GO 64  - if You do video reencoding go 64..
[01:41] <syn-ack> exactly
[01:41] <LavaEagle> ActionParsnip:  No this seems to be 32bit only
[01:41] <Dr_Willis> If you got a low end cpu/system that can do 64 and watch HD movies.. well it may be a benifit also
[01:41] <syn-ack> oh yeah
[01:41] <ActionParsnip> Nitaipal: you can use pae in 32bit if you have more than 4gb ram
[01:41] <syn-ack> ActionParsnip: pae sucks, compared to native handling
[01:41] <syn-ack> seriously
[01:41] <devdz> okay what are the main commands to communicate with a router please i mean to know what the router is doing in a moment
[01:41] <NitaiPal> ActionParsnip, whats pae?
[01:41] <ActionParsnip> Lavaeagle: have you checked the ppa seach?
[01:42] <ActionParsnip> Nitaipal: it breaks the ram up to allow the kernel to access more ram
[01:42] <LavaEagle> ActionParsnip: how would I go about doing that?  Software/Synaptic ?
[01:42] <syn-ack> ActionParsnip: Honestly dude, imo its merely an ugly hack
[01:42] <LavaEagle> manager*
[01:42] <ActionParsnip> !pae | nitaipal
[01:42] <ActionParsnip> Syn-ack: it works though
[01:43] <syn-ack> ActionParsnip: if you have the resources to do native 64 bit addressing it's better to just do that instead of using a hack
[01:43] <syn-ack> again, imo
[01:43] <claptrap> This is why I lurk in here.
[01:43] <ActionParsnip> Syn-ack: true but if 32bit is advantageous to the user otherwise then pae is fine
[01:44] <ActionParsnip> Imho
[01:44] <syn-ack> yeah
[01:44] <NitaiPal> is there a command to find out all the specs of my comp
[01:44] <syn-ack> NitaiPal: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[01:44] <histo> NitaiPal: lshw
[01:44] <syn-ack> NitaiPal: lshw, lspci etc
[01:45] <ActionParsnip> Nitaipal: lspci; cat /proc/cpuinfo | tail -n 20 | grep model
[01:45] <ActionParsnip> nitaipal: works for single core :)
[01:46] <LavaEagle> How do I install ia32-libs on i686?
[01:46] <histo> LavaEagle: you don't have to
[01:46] <histo> LavaEagle: and i don't think its availbilbe
[01:46] <NitaiPal> whats a command that will tell me my harddrive size ram and such
[01:46] <syn-ack> its not
[01:46] <rampage73> ok anyone got an eee pc t91mt ? wondering if there is working mt driver and where ?
[01:46] <histo> NitaiPal: lshw
[01:46] <rampage73> sorry touch screen
[01:46] <vox> NitaiPal: sudo lshw |more
[01:46] <ActionParsnip> Lavaeagle: i686 is 32bit
[01:47] <LavaEagle> My bad
[01:47] <LavaEagle> wrong numbers
[01:47] <LavaEagle> But I am 64bir

[01:48] <ActionParsnip> Lavaeagle: your cpu may be 64bit but the OS is 32bit
[01:48] <LavaEagle> I could have sworn...
[01:48] <LavaEagle> Grr
[01:48] <syn-ack> skraps: its not a belief, it DOES happen and two this is not the forum for that discussion

[01:49] <ActionParsnip> Lavaeagle: if it was 64bit it would say x86_64 instead of i686
[01:49] <syn-ack> thats what it would look like LavaEagle
[01:49] <ActionParsnip> Lavaeagle: like syn-ack says
[01:49] <LavaEagle> ActionParsnip: But then why would it not let me install a 32bit app?
[01:49] <Puffin> da da da
[01:49] <syn-ack> LavaEagle: because ia32 libs is already installed on your system, LavaEagle
[01:50] <skraps> Im living in a motel room, I record a lot of phone conversations, I left my recorder out earlier when I left the room. I went to backup the sdcard, my recordings were missing but the file system wasnt damaged. I

[01:51] <Puffin> da da da
[01:51] <Puffin> xx1234 was a short visitor!
[01:51] <NitaiPal> heres my specs, please tell me which would be better for me 64 bit or 32 bit ... i only do some minimal computer stuff ... watch movies, browsing, youtube ... i want the least hassle free and compatible computer so i can easily do things ... ALSO its important for me to have a quiet cpu fan cuz my one is extra loud on this 64bit system
[01:52] <Puffin> 32 bit is winnar
[01:52] <ActionParsnip> Nitaipal: how much ram is in the system?
[01:52] <devdz> what shud I install for virtualization under linux ?

[01:52] <NitaiPal> that's my lshw http://pastebin.com/01AK2nrd
[01:53] <syn-ack> LavaEagle: just because it's based on ubuntu does NOT make it anymore ubuntu than ubuntu is Debian
[01:53] <ActionParsnip> Lavaeagle: its not an official canonical release so is not officially supported in the official channel
[01:53] <Dr_Willis> LavaEagle:  just beause its ubuntu 'based' dosent mean we have the manpower tu support it. expecially when the variants got their own support channels
[01:53] <adrian26> I've a problem, when I open the program I've an error
[01:53] <LavaEagle> Ahh sorry about that
[01:54] <adrian26> can't open /dev/video0
[01:54] <ActionParsnip> lavaeagle: there are tonnes of ubuntu based systems which are equally not supported
[01:54] <Dr_Willis> Equal Opurtinity Unsupported. :)
[01:54] <syn-ack> exactly
[01:54] <rats> LavaEagle: the folka at irc.spotchat.org  #linuxmint-help will be  more than delighted to help
[01:55] <syn-ack> we have enough to worry about supporting what, 5 versions or so already
[01:55] <LavaEagle> Ty I was just on my way there

[01:56] <Dr_Willis> theres also the #ubuntuone  specilized channel
[01:56] <syn-ack> there seriously are a ton of #ubuntu channels other than this one

[01:57] <Dr_Willis> enteraining :)
[01:57] <adrian26> Have problems with my tv card
[01:57] <syn-ack> Dr_Willis: sadly enough. :/
[01:58] <Dr_Willis> NitaiPal:  if you  got more then 4 gb ram - go 64 - otherwise  if you dont do much. go 32 if you want. I always go 64 and rarely have any issues
[01:58] <syn-ack> NitaiPal: that's really not a bad system
[01:58] <Dr_Willis> I dont see how 'fan speed' is going to be related to the 64/32 bits
[01:58] <ActionParsnip> Nitaipal: i'd go 32bit. If all you want is web and chat. 64bit will allow you easier expansion
[01:58] <syn-ack> NitaiPal: I agree with everything Willis just told you
[01:58] <syn-ack> and ActionParsnip for that matter
[01:59] <Dr_Willis> The only 32bit box i got is my Netbook.
[01:59] <adrian26> Who know how to install tv cards, I've problems with mine

[01:59] <ActionParsnip> Nitaipal: look into guides for the dell. There may be guides to control the fan
[01:59] <kerebrus> How do I find out the network name of my computer?
[02:00] <ActionParsnip> Kerebrus: hostname
[02:00] <Dr_Willis> kerebrus:  you mean for the samba shares?
[02:00] <kerebrus> yes for samba shares
[02:00] <ActionParsnip> Nitaipal: I always use amd as coolnquiet is great in the kernel :)
[02:00] <Dr_Willis> kerebrus:  its the hostname. unless you chnge it in the smb.conf
[02:00] <Dr_Willis> kerebrus:  try out the 'findsmb' and 'smbtree' commands
[02:01] <syn-ack> God I love Pandora
[02:01] <Dr_Willis> kerebrus:  also depending on the network setup you might NOT beable to access the machine via name. it may need ip#'s
[02:01] <NitaiPal> ActionParsnip, can u explain what u just said ... 64 bit is better for my cpu fan?
[02:02] <syn-ack> NitaiPal: irrelevant
[02:02] <ActionParsnip> Nitaipal: the number of bits is moot. You need to find guides relating to your system model to see if anyone has found a way to control the fan speed
[02:02] <syn-ack> ActionParsnip: it most certainly does.
[02:03] <ActionParsnip> Syn-ack: how so?
[02:03] <Dr_Willis> If the fan is not spported in teh bios/kernel - then the  64/32 dont matter at all.
[02:03] <syn-ack> it's more than likely as simple as redirecting something to /proc even
[02:03] <syn-ack> ActionParsnip: I was referring to fan control
[02:03] <ActionParsnip> Syn-ack: yes but 32bit/64bit doesn't matter which is what I'm getting at
[02:03] <syn-ack> And I agreed
[02:03] <syn-ack> :)

[02:06] <tweiseman> how do i remove the hard block?
[02:06] <DocWiggles> so $HOME/Desktop filename?
[02:06] <enav> some 1 here know how to get an invitation to java channel?
[02:06] <DocWiggles> or do i just type $HOME/Desktop
[02:07] <ActionParsnip> Docwiggles /home/$USER/filename ,then
[02:07] <syn-ack> enav: /who the channel and ask one of their ops
[02:07] <Izinucs> If I try to dd a dual layer dvd and it responds with "no medium found" how do I fix this? (dvdrw is a dual layer and dvd is in the drive)
[02:07] <ActionParsnip> Docwiggles: depends if the process wants the folder or the actual file
[02:07] <DocWiggles> the actual file
[02:07] <epaduel> Hi all..
[02:07] <enav> thanks
[02:07] <epaduel> Anyone here from south america?
[02:07] <ActionParsnip> Docwiggles: then give the filename to
[02:08] <ActionParsnip> Pt | epaduel
[02:08] <tweiseman> hi, i run "rfkill list" on my ubuntu 9.10 machine and it tells me that "Wireless LAN" is "Soft block:no, Hard Block:yes"how do i remove the hard block?
[02:08] <dsnyders> epaduel, I was close to south america once.
[02:08] <DocWiggles> so $HOME/Desktop/filename?
[02:08] <ActionParsnip> !pt
[02:08] <allen> hi
[02:08] <ActionParsnip> Docwiggles: indeed
[02:08] <DocWiggles> aite brb
[02:08] <rothsdad> hey, how to change the encoding to utf8
[02:09] <wirechief> tweiseman check man rfkill for details on how to use it.
[02:09] <allen> i'm new to anything more complicated than ubuntu, now i'm on crunchbang :D wrote my first shell script and now i'm wondering about irc commands
[02:09] <devdz> any important condition i must know before i patch something  ?
[02:09] <rothsdad> my irc client is pocketirc
[02:10] <allen> how's that working out for you?
[02:10] <ActionParsnip> Devdz: if you need the patch then go for it
[02:10] <ActionParsnip> !patch | devdz
[02:10] <Izinucs> rothsdad: that's not one I've heard of .. check out irssi .. lots of docs for that
[02:10] <allen> !hello | devdz
[02:10] <allen> :D that's awesome
[02:11] <arand> devdz: patch how?
[02:11] <allen> i'm using irssi now
[02:11] <allen> how can i get a list of all irc commands?
[02:11] <ActionParsnip> !irc
[02:11] <allen> ah
[02:11] <allen> !irc
[02:12] <allen> hmm
[02:12] <allen> !Guidelines
[02:12] <trism> allen: if you want to play with the bot you can /msg ubottu !command
[02:12] <allen> oh cool thanks for the tip :D im an IRC newbie
[02:13] <syn-ack> Why does it always seem that any irc n00bs first habbit is tickling bots? I mean thats the SAME thing I used to do when I started in IRC
[02:13] <enav> when you say find a channel operator.. you mean here or some website?
[02:13] <arand> allen: for irssi-specifics, use /help in server window
[02:13] <cyberbluntz> so we are allowed to play with the bot?
[02:13] <Izinucs> syn-ack: instant gratification of getting a response
[02:13] <Dr_Willis> !bot | cyberbluntz
[02:13] <ugliefrog> #wine
[02:14] <syn-ack> Izinucs: haha, Always wondered about that. :P
[02:14] <dsnyders> !kpovmodeler
[02:14] <allen> the bot is superfun and a new concept to me since I don't use the IRC much
[02:14] <roudad> Hey, some of the keys on my netbook just stopped working (down arrow, c, etc), any idea why and how i can fix it?
[02:14] <arand> cyberbluntz: play in private if you must.
[02:14] <Dr_Willis> allen:  you can /msg ubottu   and chat all you want
[02:14] <syn-ack> enav: In that channel.
[02:14] <enav> syn-ack the problem is ##java  channel is invite only
[02:14] <aggro> roudad, likely shorted out keys. spill anything on the keyboard?
[02:15] <Dr_Willis> !register | enav
[02:15] <roudad> aggro, no..
[02:15] <allen> how do i message a speicifc person? is it must /msg <username here>?
[02:15] <Dr_Willis> enav:  its proberly registered nicks only
[02:15] <Dr_Willis> allen:  yes.
[02:15] <Izinucs> allen: yes.. but ask first.. some don't like it..
[02:15] <dsnyders> What channel do I get help on kpovmodeler display issues?
 Sorry, I don't know anything about command
[02:16] <aggro> roudad, are all apps affected?
[02:16] <roudad> aggro, yes.
[02:16] <roudad> aggro, its def not software level.. i checked in bios.
[02:16] <cyberbluntz> is there a way to get him to spit out cmd list?
[02:16] <roudad> aggro, just wondering if there may be a self-fix
[02:17] <arand> cyberbluntz: !factoid
[02:17] <wasutton3_1> does anyone know of a well supported usb agps device?
[02:17] <aggro> roudad, i gotcha, definitely not software. i would open 'er up and reseat the cable from the keyboard (top case, etc) to the motherboard
[02:17] <brjann> dsnyders: #kde
[02:17] <allen> now i'm trying to /msg myself by typing "/msg allen hi" but i don't see any message for me
[02:17] <roudad> aggro, its a netbook
[02:17] <dsnyders> brjann, Thanks.   Still struggling with http://imagebin.org/85792
[02:17] <ActionParsnip> !hcl | wasutton3_1
[02:17] <brjann> dsnyders: I figured :)
[02:18] <aggro> roudad, it still has a motherboard :)
[02:18] <roudad> aggro, okay. im off! thanks
[02:18] <quidnunc> How do I invoke "switch user" from the console?
[02:18] <allen> ok i'm off too, seeya later thanks for the help
[02:18] <allen> but how do i exit... /exit?
[02:18] <roudad> quidnunc su
[02:18] <enav> i will try to register
[02:19] <quidnunc> roudad: No. "fast user switching"
[02:19] <mohadib> is there a channel for ubuntu packagers?
[02:19] <dsnyders> quidnunc, the console command is su
[02:19] <quidnunc> mohadib: ubuntu-motu
[02:19] <mohadib> thanks
[02:19] <ActionParsnip> Mohadib: #ubuntu-devel maybe
[02:19] <quidnunc> dsnyders: No.
[02:19] <quidnunc> dsnyders: I want to switch user for the gnome session
[02:19] <wasutton3_1> ActionParsnip: i already checked there, but there doesnt seem to be any agps device entries
[02:20] <DJ_HaMsTa> how do i "Next, open the Gnome Configuration Editor: gconf-edito"
[02:20] <DJ_HaMsTa> ?
[02:20] <ActionParsnip> Wasutton3_1: do you mean gps?
[02:20] <dsnyders> quidnunc, Oh.  Sorry.  I thought you said console.
[02:20] <switchgirl> Bus 005 Device 004: ID 0e8d:0002 MediaTek Inc << is that likley to be a phone i have plugged into my pc and if so how to find the mount point for wammu
[02:20] <quidnunc> dsnyders: I did say console. 'Cause I want to do it from the console
[02:21] <syn-ack> agps? are you looking to tether to your cell phone or something, wasutton3_1?
[02:21] <tzeentch> anybody know where I can find a /etc/gdm/Init/Default ?  I broke mine somehow.
[02:21] <wasutton3_1> ActionParsnip: no, AGPS is a different protocol. AGPS uses triangulation with cellular towers in addition to sattelites (uses less power)
[02:21] <wasutton3_1> syn-ack: no, im looking to have a seperate card for a roadtrip and such
[02:21] <syn-ack> it's also a heck of a lot less accurate
[02:21] <ActionParsnip> Wasutton3_1: ask providers if they support linux. Or check their sites
[02:22] <eXe__^> what filesystem do you guys prefer on a 2ghz dual core laptop with 4GB Ram?
[02:22] <eXe__^> ext3?
[02:22] <wasutton3_1> ActionParsnip: ok, i was just curious if anyone knew
[02:22] <syn-ack> ext4/LVM
[02:22] <wasutton3_1> eXe__^: ext4
[02:22] <ActionParsnip> Exe_^: filesystem isn't governed by cpu speed
[02:22] <eXe__^> how new is ext4
[02:22] <eXe__^> im not a *nix guy
[02:23] <ActionParsnip> Exe_^: the default (ext4) will be fine for you
[02:23] <eXe__^> never heard of it before
[02:23] <syn-ack> eXe__^: about a year and half old
[02:23] <cyberbluntz> !madwifi
[02:23] <eXe__^> okey
[02:24] <syn-ack> eXe__^: if exe4 is good enough for google, it's good enough for you. Ask them, They went ahead and hired it's creator
[02:25] <syn-ack> ext4 ugh
[02:25] <cyberbluntz> thats pretty weak ubottu
[02:25] <eXe__^> syn-ack: naa.. .. google dont impress me
[02:25] <eXe__^> but pussy does
[02:25] <adrian26> hi, I've problems with my tv card, somebody know how to install one
[02:25] <eXe__^> thanks for the help guys
[02:25] <eXe__^> laters
[02:25] <ActionParsnip> Exe_^: +1 dude
[02:25] <FloodBot2> eXe__^: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:26] <syn-ack> ...
[02:26] <histo> ext4 is fine
[02:26] <histo> !tv | adrian26
[02:26] <syn-ack> it's actually better, performance on an LVM than XFS is
[02:26] <syn-ack> and I'm impressed Good Troll is Good
[02:27] <ActionParsnip> I just use the default. Just because google use it doesn't make it awesome
[02:27] <syn-ack> ActionParsnip: actually the fact that google IS migrating to it does say a lot
[02:28] <ActionParsnip> Hardly
[02:28] <ActionParsnip> They also use gos on their desktops. Maybe we should al ditch ubuntu to use that too eh
[02:29] <syn-ack> Nah, because gOS is nothing more than Ubuntu with a crap interface
[02:29] <blakkheim> syn-ack: i think you're thinking of kubuntu
[02:29] <ActionParsnip> Syn-ack: but google use it so it says a lot doesn't it?
[02:29] <syn-ack> blakkheim: ooooh, check match
[02:30] <syn-ack> ActionParsnip: not the channel for this debate but I'd be more than happy to school you elsewhere
[02:30] <syn-ack> ;)
[02:30] <lozano> -----
[02:30] <ActionParsnip> Syn-ack: I just recognise google isn't the be all and end all. Simple as
[02:30] <lozano> wut
[02:31] <sergio> hola alguien por el oriente de merida, yucatan
[02:31] <cyberbluntz> I have a questio about the bot http://pastebin.com/qM5SuSHm
[02:31] <lozano> :D
[02:31] <ricree> is there an easy way to install a package from a repository from an older release of Ubuntu?  A program I'm using seems to have a bug that was introduced in the Jaunty binary, but is supposedly working in the Intrepid one
[02:31] <lozano> bye fuckerz
[02:31] <stooj> I've been given a machine, but Ubuntu doesn't recognise the ethernet card. It doesn't show up in lspci either. Can anyone tell me what my next step is? (Short of buying a new NIC)?
[02:31] <brjann> !es | sergio
[02:32] <tzeentch> my appearances settings are not sticking from sessions to sessions.  Anybody got an idea where I should look to first?
[02:32] <blakkheim> stooj: buy- nevermind
[02:32] <ActionParsnip> Ricree: you shouldn't mix debs from anything other than the release you are on
[02:32] <Blue1> nics are cheap
[02:32] <stooj> Heh, thanks blakkheim ;)
[02:32] <lozano> really
[02:32] <brandyn> hi guys
[02:32] <histo> tzeentch: permissions on your /home/tzeentch folder or the .gconf folder in there
[02:33] <blakkheim> stooj: but really, why not get a new nic for it? they aren't much money
[02:33] <lozano> D:
[02:33] <cyberbluntz> Will someone explain this to me http://pastebin.com/qM5SuSHm
[02:33] <ActionParsnip> Stooj; check its enabled in bios
[02:33] <veebull> Can someone help me set up a basic anon ftp server using vsftpd on 9.10?
[02:33] <lozano> 000{}_____++++++++++++000000
[02:33] <ricree> ActionParsnip: so building from source is probably going to be my best option then?\
[02:33] <ActionParsnip> Cyberbluntz: its used to call ops if someone is trolling
[02:33] <dsnyders> cyberbluntz, IRC channels have people monitoring the chat to make sure people are not spamming, or cursing, or acting against the rules.  When these people are away, they can be summoned.
[02:33] <histo> ricree: It may be a dependancy issue that is causing the bug
[02:34] <stooj> blakkheim: Might end up doing so. It is a work machine, so this is just temporary.
[02:34] <histo> ricree: you can try the older packge if you want but I would build from source.
[02:34] <histo> ricree: what program is it?
[02:34] <cyberbluntz> So those names are the people who would be summoned?
[02:34] <stooj> ActionParsnip: Will have a look, but it worked in Windows before I blew that away
[02:34] <veebull> I keep getting 'critical file transfer error' when I try to download a simple text file that i put in the /srv/ftp directory
[02:34] <blakkheim> stooj: if it doesn't show up even in lspci don't you think it's probably bad anyway?
[02:34] <veebull> I can see it, but I can't get to it.
[02:35] <histo> veebull: permissions?
[02:35] <ActionParsnip> Riceree: i'd say so. You could download the deb from a ppa with an older version. Uninstall the current then install using the deb then pin the version so it doesn't get upgraded
[02:35] <tzeentch> histo : folder is 755, .gconf is 700.  Should it be otherwise?
[02:35] <ActionParsnip> Stooj: ok that's cool. Reboot and run: dmesg | less ,see if its detected
[02:35] <Blue1> ActionParsnip: isnt' that what backporting does?
[02:35] <veebull> histo, just found that.  default permission (root) was 700, changed to 777 and I got it
[02:35] <BayArea> would anyone be willing to help a newb understand why the Intel PRO1000 card shows up on lspci, but cant connect to the internet?
[02:36] <ActionParsnip> Blue1: true depends what's installed. Can you advise the guy/gal
[02:36] <brjann> tzeentch: my .gconf directory is 700, and gnome is working correctly for me
[02:36] <syn-ack> BayArea: what does lsmod tell you?
[02:36] <BayArea> syn: let me take a look
[02:36] <Blue1> ActionParsnip: i can try...I just got here so someone fill me in a bit please?
[02:36] <syn-ack> BayArea: you should see the iw2000 driver installed into the kernel
[02:36] <syn-ack> I think it's the iw2000
[02:36] <ActionParsnip> Bayarea: if you set an ip and gateway and dns servers does it work?
[02:36] <histo> tzeentch: .gconf should be 700 thats not it then
[02:37] <ActionParsnip> Blue1: user wants an older version than is availa ble on the repos
[02:37] <ActionParsnip> Tzeentch: check you are the owner too
[02:37] <magn3ts> This is ridiculous. I disable my touchpad in gsynaptics and Ubuntu turns it back on 30 seconds later. Ubuntu can't remember my X11 cursor for more than 30 minutes, god forbid I reboot.
[02:38] <Blue1> ActionParsnip: example of backporting:  http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=152
[02:38] <BayArea> syn-ack: lsmod "e1000 119264 0"
[02:38] <syn-ack> BayArea: ah yeah, good good
[02:38] <tzeentch> ActionParsnip : Yep, I am.
[02:38] <syn-ack> BayArea: refer to what ActionParsnip said
[02:38] <Nolan2> Hey, I just installed ubuntu, but now my windows isn't loading, I think it may have something to do with GRUB, but I'm not sure... Any suggestions?
[02:38] <histo> tzeentch: ActionParsnip thats wierd
[02:38] <ActionParsnip> !grub2 | nolann2
[02:39] <Dr_Willis> magn3ts:  synaptics drivers and X have been 'a work in progress' for a while. Im suprised that gsynaptics even works.
[02:39] <stooj> OK. Will let you know, ActionParsnip
[02:39] <stooj> Cheers
[02:39] <magn3ts> Dr_Willis, gsynaptics has been around for years though. I remember it being around in 8.04
[02:39] <magn3ts> >_<
[02:39] <syn-ack> magn3ts: there have been a lot of subsystem changes since then its really been hit and miss
[02:39] <BayArea> syn-ack: ok. i'm not sure what those value are. this is going directly to my cable modem (via DHCP from comcast)
[02:40] <Dr_Willis> magn3ts:  yes.. and X has been dojng a lot of Input devices changes in the last year or so. that  required the gsynaptics tools and other similer tools to do things differntly
[02:40] <syn-ack> BayArea: did you cycle the modem?
[02:40] <Dr_Willis> magn3ts:  i recall some docs/articals on it at the gsynaptics homepage
[02:40] <DJ_HaMsTa> Any idea on how to change the port number in 9.10 ?
[02:40] <cyberbluntz> ffs
[02:40] <BayArea> syn-ack: works fine when I plug the cable into my mac (this computer)
[02:40] <DJ_HaMsTa> for remote desktop**
[02:40] <syn-ack> BayArea: it could be that the modem is still learned to the old MAC
[02:40] <tzeentch> histo : Yes it is.    But i dont use it any more sohavent paied attention to it
[02:42] <histo> tzeentch: perhaps its a problem with that being called
[02:42] <tzeentch> histo : I don't have a .gnome.  I got a .gnome2 and a .gnome2_private which are 700 and which I own.
[02:42] <magn3ts> Dr_Willis, thats a shame. 9.10 has been very disappointing in a lot of ways. as I mentioned, X11 refuses to use my cursor theme, I can't even make it show up in gnome-appearance-preferences. I can't configure GDM, there are less screensavers that I still can not configure, etc. very frustrating.
[02:42] <histo> tzeentch: try changing settings and running gnome-session-save in terminal then log out and back in see if that works
[02:43] <syn-ack> magn3ts: all politics aside, I wasnt impressed with 9.10. 10.04 will be different story though
[02:43] <histo> tzeentch: actually disregard that
[02:43] <Dr_Willis> magn3ts:  dont blame 9.10 for changes made by the X devs - and the gnome devs..  screensavers have been a point of argument for ages.  again thats GNOME devs stuff..
[02:43] <Evet> i have deleted /etc/apache2 folder, now apache2 package cannot be installed properly. how to solve this?
[02:43] <paribanu> join #ubuntu-uy
[02:44] <paribanu> hola! alguien que hable español?
[02:44] <Dr_Willis> magn3ts:  dident notice the gnome menus icons vanish last week? :) more gnome dev ideas
[02:44] <cyberbluntz> !es
[02:44] <Nolan2> :/ That link didn't really help me.
[02:44] <Nolan2> Any other suggestions?
[02:44] <histo> tzeentch: I don't htink session-save does that. Is it any setting you chagne thats not being saved?
[02:44] <Unstable> Hey guys, perl question here, if im not in the right place just point me the way, but when i try to install a package to perl from CPAN it said "returned status 512, wont make" any suggestions?
[02:45] <histo> Unstable: I would ask the packager
[02:45] <ActionParsnip> Unstable: or #perl
[02:45] <magn3ts> syn-ack, Dr_Willis, you're right. I say 9.10 and I know that a lot of that has to do with GNOME. Ugh. I just can't stand QT and the same problems I have with how GNOME is configured are the problems I have with KDE
[02:45] <magn3ts> Oh well.
[02:45] <histo> tzeentch: there is #gnome also
[02:45] <Dr_Willis> magn3ts:  wait for gnome-3 people will go berzerke
[02:46] <Unstable> The packager?
[02:46] <ActionParsnip> Dr_willis: when is it due?
[02:46] <Unstable> And thanks for direction to #perl
[02:46] <histo> Dr_Willis: Are they going to do the panels thing?
[02:46] <magn3ts> Dr_Willis, I still want to see a new DE rise up that integrates well with compiz by default, etc.
[02:46] <histo> Dr_Willis: that will really freak people out
[02:46] <Dr_Willis> ActionParsnip:  gnome-3 is still in the whiteboard stage. :)
[02:46] <ActionParsnip> Dr_willis: nice
[02:46] <Dr_Willis> magn3ts:  compiz will be dead in a few years i imagine.
[02:46] <histo> Gnome doesn't change very much
[02:46] <magn3ts> Dr_Willis, uh why do you say that?
[02:47] <histo> X will obsorb compiz
[02:47] <ActionParsnip> Dr_willis: with some hope :)
[02:47] <Dr_Willis> magn3ts:  the fetures it does are gettting assemliated
[02:47] <tzeentch> histo : One example is the System->preferences->apperance->Visual Effects  I got to re-enable it every time I log on.
[02:47] <Dr_Willis> Emerald is allready basicaly dead
[02:47] <magn3ts> Dr_Willis, into...? the DE itself? Quite frankly, I don't want ot see the flexibilty I have with compiz gnome-ified.
[02:47] <syn-ack> yeah
[02:47] <Dr_Willis> tzeentch:  i always use the fusion-icon tool - it seems to smooth out some quiks like that
[02:47] <ActionParsnip> Tzeentch: add the command in startup items
[02:47] <histo> magn3ts: you will always have flexibility in linux even if its inegrated
[02:48] <magn3ts> tzeentch, I will second what Dr_Willis just said.
[02:48] <Nolan2> So, can anyone help...?
[02:48] <histo> magn3ts: thats one of the problems there are 99 ways to do one given task
[02:48] <ActionParsnip> Nolan2: sup
[02:48] <magn3ts> histo, yeah but I know that the simple but powerful GUI for compiz now would be obliterated if put into GNOME core
[02:48] <magn3ts> :[
[02:49]  * ActionParsnip prefers openbox to compiz
[02:49] <Dr_Willis> Simple GUI for compiz? what one are you refering to?
[02:49] <Dr_Willis> :)
[02:49] <syn-ack> magn3ts: I'm one of the anti-gnome-3ers out there and I'm already migrating all my systems over to XFCE
[02:49] <Dr_Willis> Theres the idiot-friendly one and the nightmarish one...
[02:49] <Nolan2> Oh, that link you gave me up there didn't really help ActionParsnip.
[02:49] <ActionParsnip> Nolan2: what is your issue?
[02:49] <magn3ts> Dr_Willis, well maybe simple wasn't the right word, but coherent at least. I think its pretty standard how things are done but its still very very configurable
[02:50] <Dr_Willis> I think compiz needs a tool to print out all the keybindings that are in USE for a given setup. :)
[02:50] <Dr_Willis> but theres only like 4 features i use in compiz
[02:51] <parolang> syn-ack: stumpwm :)
[02:51] <claybustr> How can I reset my alsa configs to an out of the box ubuntu clean install config?
[02:51] <ActionParsnip> Flwm!
[02:51] <syn-ack> parolang: I'm partial to GTk
[02:51] <syn-ack> :p
[02:51] <Nolan3> crap. lol
[02:51] <Nolan3> As I was saying..
[02:51] <soreau> Dr_Willis: With ccsm's advanced search feature, you can press a keybinding and see if it's assigned to any plugin
[02:51] <Nolan3> [21:50] <Nolan2> I just installed Ubuntu 9.10, and when I try to dual boot into windows, it doesn't do anything.
[02:51] <Nolan3> [21:50] <Nolan2> It just displays a blinking -
[02:51] <parolang> syn-ack: GTK is a widget toolkit.  Stumpwm is a window manager.  You can (and do) use both :)
[02:52] <ActionParsnip> Claybustr: rename or delete the .gnome .gnome2 etc folders in $HOME. You will need to do the same to $HOME/.config
[02:52] <syn-ack> parolang: I'm aware of that. but I like the integration of which is provided in Gnome and XFCE. ;)
[02:52] <SaratogaCx>  Hi, I have a problem with Wireless..  My machine used to work and at some point it stopped getting a dhcp address from my router.  I can see my router other computers can connect to it (android phone, windows pc etc.) w/out issue but dhclient commands try and fail.  Any ideas where I can start looking to fix this?
[02:52] <Nolan3> did ya see that ActionParsnip?
[02:52] <parolang> syn-ack: kay :)
[02:53] <claybustr> will that also get rid of the stuck phantom  gnome-display-properties in the notification area?
[02:53] <syn-ack> parolang: imo it give a much more integrated look over running something like OpenBox then gtk apps on top, etc
[02:53] <ActionParsnip> Nolan3: rename xorg.conf if you have one. Also run: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:53] <cyberbluntz> try booting to your windows recovery console and fixmbr
[02:53] <ActionParsnip> Nolan3: use root recovery console
[02:53] <parolang> Anyway, what I came here to ask is...I set the option to decrypt my home partition when I log in on the install.  This won't give me any problems, will it?  What is the program it uses for encryption?
[02:54] <Nolan3> Uhh.. Where is that?
[02:54] <ActionParsnip> Nolan3: hold shift at boot, you will see grub menu. Choose the recovery mode then root
[02:54] <parolang> syn-ack: What window manager do you run with xfce?
[02:54] <cyberbluntz> actually, just say screw windows and just use linux
[02:55] <cyberbluntz> :D
[02:55] <syn-ack> parolang: compiz or xfwm
[02:55] <Nolan3> >.> I've never heard that one before cyb3r3li0g
[02:55] <parolang> syn-ack: Oh...didn't know about xfwm.
[02:55] <parolang> syn-ack: I stay away from compiz :)
[02:55] <stooj> ActionParsnip: Bah. It was disabled - someone else in the office disabled it when trying to fix windows. Thanks for the help anyway :)
[02:55] <syn-ack> xfwm is the default window manager for XFCE
[02:55] <ActionParsnip> Parolang: me too
[02:55] <Nolan3> okay, I'll try that now ActionParsnip.
[02:55] <ActionParsnip> Stooj: d'oh
[02:56] <parolang> compiz is neato for about a day and a half :)
[02:56] <ActionParsnip> Parolang: openbox ftw :)
[02:57] <magn3ts> I love compiz.  Compiz makes my life so much better. Netbeans in one pane, chromium/xchat in the other, my debug terminals in the third. trailfocus is a god send
[02:57] <GeekSquid> cyberbluntz: good to see you agreeing with me
[02:57] <histo> openbox here for me too
[02:57] <cyberbluntz> lol
[02:57] <pedrocr> anyone know where I can find the list of packages installed by default in karmic? Basically the output of "dpkg -l" after a fresh install
[02:57] <syn-ack> parolang: I don't really get all carried away, theres just a nice and simple emerald theme that I like to use
[02:57] <syn-ack> parolang: so yeah
[02:57] <histo> magn3ts: you don't need compiz for mutiple workspaces
[02:57] <magn3ts> plus I really love expo and scale, way better and faster than alt+tab (though alt-tabbing is even better in compiz)
[02:57] <magn3ts> histo, I kow
[02:57] <jeevan> hii
[02:57] <magn3ts> also, I know.
[02:57] <magn3ts> :)
[02:57] <FloodBot2> magn3ts: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:58] <jeevan> hey how to use yahooo on ubuntu
[02:58] <Nolan3> :/ holding shift didn't do anything ActionParsnip.
[02:58] <histo> jeevan: yahoo messenger?
[02:58] <parolang> Ubuntu tells me I need to replace my HD :(
[02:58] <jeevan> yea histo
[02:58]  * soreau thinks that people who love compiz probably don't have crappy machines
[02:58] <histo> jeevan: use Applications > INternet > Pidgin
[02:58] <jeevan> but pidgin is not getting yahoo
[02:58] <ActionParsnip> Nolan3: what is the output of: uname -c
[02:58] <harisund> histo: that is not yahoo messenger though .. parolang: how does it tell you that?
[02:59] <jeevan> only gtalk is available
[02:59] <histo> harisund: it can connect to it
[02:59] <ActionParsnip> Jeevan: you may need the pidgin ppa
[02:59] <jeevan> yea i hav pidgin
[02:59] <histo> jeevan: ymsg I believe is in the drop down?
[02:59] <Nolan3>  wait, I got it.
[02:59] <jeevan> but yahoo msg is not connectng with it
[02:59] <parolang> harisund: It was in the messaging area, next to the time/date.  Ubuntu is actually pretty smart to have found it :)
[02:59] <ActionParsnip> Jeevan: add the ppa for a newer build. It may help
[02:59] <Nolan3> The recovery manager is listed by default underneith my Ubuntu.
[02:59] <histo> jeevan: ahh hold up
[03:00] <ActionParsnip> Nolan3: then use that
[03:00] <parolang> harisund: I'm having it do a self test.  Otherwise, I'll have to buy another HD.
[03:00] <harisund> parolang: how do I ask Ubuntu to check my hard disk, do you know?
[03:00] <jeevan> is there any msg like pidgin
[03:00] <jeevan> ??
[03:00] <histo> jeevan: http://blog.mypapit.net/2009/06/solving-pidgin-yahoo-messenger-problem.html
[03:00] <Nolan3> okay I'm at root, now what?
[03:00] <ActionParsnip> !fsck | harisund
[03:00] <histo> jeevan: aparently yahoo changed their servers
[03:00] <jeevan> thank u histo
[03:00] <ActionParsnip> Nolan3: mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_old
[03:01] <histo> jeevan: what version of pidgin are you using?
[03:01] <ActionParsnip> Nolan3: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:01] <jeevan> am on ubuntu 9.04
[03:01] <jeevan> and defalut pidgin
[03:02] <ActionParsnip> Jeevan: the ppa version may set the right servers. Histo is right and yahoo change their servers like you change socks
[03:02] <jeevan> he he
[03:02] <jeevan> lol
[03:02] <Roey> hi
[03:02] <Roey> Requested audio codec family [wma9spdmo] (afm=dmo) not available.
[03:02] <Roey> Enable it at compilation.
[03:02] <Roey> Requested audio codec family [wma9spdshow] (afm=dshow) not available.
[03:02] <FloodBot2> Roey: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:02] <parolang> harisund: The program is called palimpset, never heard of it before.
[03:03] <Roey> what package contains these extra codecs?
[03:03] <Nolan3> mv cannot stat `/etc/X11/xorg.conf': No such file or directory
[03:03] <harisund> parolang: ah ok cool thanks :)
[03:03] <harisund> parolang: palimpset? Correct spelling? I am not able to find such a package
[03:04] <parolang> harisund: sorry...palimpsest
[03:04] <ActionParsnip> Jeevan: sudo add-apt-repository pp:pidgin-developers/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[03:04] <parolang> harisund: It must come default...I just installed ubuntu.
[03:04] <ActionParsnip> Nolan3: that's fine then
[03:04] <parolang> aptitude search palimpsest
[03:05] <harisund> It says it's under gnome-disk-utility
[03:05] <parolang> ah
[03:05] <kinja-sheep> !away > KamusHadenesAway
[03:05] <parolang> I could use a bigger HD anyway...only 9.1 GB right now :)
[03:06] <Mr-Doug> can anyone tell me how to get ubuntu 9.10 amd 64 to recognize my fax modem?
[03:06] <Nolan3> Okay I did that dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg thing
[03:06] <Nolan3> Now what?
[03:06] <ActionParsnip> Mr-doug: is it usb or pci?
[03:06] <Mr-Doug> pci
[03:06] <Nolan3> I put it in and it didn't do anything lol.
[03:06] <ActionParsnip> Nolan: shutdown -r now
[03:06] <Nolan3> k.
[03:06] <ActionParsnip> Nolan3: linux doesn't give feedback if it succeeds
[03:07] <Nolan3> I noticed that xD
[03:07] <yxmn2> what is the best way of setting up a virtual machine in Linux?
[03:07] <ActionParsnip> !virtual | yxmn2
[03:07] <Nolan3> Hmmmmmmmmmmm
[03:07] <ActionParsnip> !best | yxmn2
[03:08] <Nolan3> It's still doing it ActionParsnip :(
[03:08] <Mr-Doug> ActionParsnip:  it is PCI modem
[03:08] <Nolan3> !WINE
[03:09] <ActionParsnip> Mr-doug: run lspci and websearch for the line which identifys the device
[03:09] <Nolan3> !virtualizers
[03:09] <Mr-Doug> ok
[03:09] <Mulevad> hello - (I'm a newbee here) I just installed ubuntu and can't get my screen resolution beyond 800x600. I'm also new to ubuntu. I'm using an inspiron 4000 laptop. Can someone point me in the right direction?
[03:09] <ActionParsnip> Nolan3: if you boot an older kernel is it ok?
[03:09] <ActionParsnip> Mulevad: what is the output of: lspci | grep -i vga
[03:10] <Nolan3> Errr... what?
[03:10] <ssmy> Mulevad: try going to System -> Administration -> HArdware Drivers and installing any that come up, then rebooting
[03:10] <Roey> I think I'm missing some WMV codecs; I get stuff like "Requested audio codec family [wma9spdmo] (afm=dmo) not available. Enable it at compilation.", "Requested audio codec family [wma9spdshow] (afm=dshow) not available.".  Which packages contain these codecs?
[03:10] <ActionParsnip> Nolan3: choose a different kernal when you boot
[03:10] <ActionParsnip> !codec | roey
[03:11] <Mr-Doug> 01:05.0 Communication controller: 3Com Corp, Modem Division USR 56k Internal WinModem
[03:11] <Nolan3> It boots into Ubuntu fine, just not Windows Media Center Edition.
[03:11] <Mulevad> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage Mobility M3 AGP 2x (rev 02)
[03:11] <ActionParsnip> Mr-doug: see what websearches say with that
[03:11] <Mr-Doug> ok
[03:11] <ActionParsnip> !ati | mulevad
[03:13] <cyberbluntz> Mulevad:  Click system / administration / hardware drivers
[03:13] <Mulevad> I was hoping this would be easier... Thanks ubottu. I've tried system administration->etc. 800x600 is the best option
[03:14] <ActionParsnip> !grub2 | Nolan3
[03:14] <surjya> hi
[03:14] <yxmn2> hi
[03:14] <GeekSquid> !hi | surjya yxmn2
[03:14] <surjya> i am running ubuntu netbook remix from usb on my netbook
[03:14] <Nolan3> :(
[03:14] <Nolan3> Damn
[03:14] <ssmy> Mulevad: the problem is that your card is so old support is going away. Should work with some experimentation though.
[03:14] <surjya> but the touchscreen not working
[03:14] <surjya> can anybody help
[03:14] <kinja-sheep> I'm forgetting how to outpipe the list of files into gedit or such. What was it again? :\
[03:15] <ssmy> surjya: touchscreen? what make/model is it?
[03:15] <GeekSquid> surjya: which netbook?
[03:15] <surjya> ASUS EeePC T91
[03:15] <surjya> with intel atom processor
[03:15] <parolang> Ah...HD crash :(
[03:16] <surjya> HD crash?
[03:16] <parolang> yep
[03:16] <parolang> It was an old HD :)
[03:16] <fenix> yes
[03:16] <surjya> what is HD?
[03:16] <parolang> hard disk
[03:16] <surjya> i m running from USB drive
[03:16] <kinja-sheep> High Definition!
[03:16] <surjya> not installed till now
[03:17] <surjya> on my HD
[03:17] <fivetwentysix> My lan just stopped working. It just keeps trying to connect to the internet but does nothing.
[03:17] <parolang> surge_: It's better running native :)
[03:17] <fivetwentysix> What log should i look at to get more information?
[03:17] <yxmn2> surjya, Hand Dilation
[03:17] <surjya> enough for HD
[03:17] <Mulevad> Sorry I think I closed some conversations. I didn't realize.
[03:17] <ssmy> surjya: would appear to be answered here http://setupguides.blogspot.com/2009/11/touchscreen.html
[03:18] <surjya> is there any IRC channel?
[03:18] <surjya> for UNR?
[03:18] <ssmy> surjya: mostly just here, UNR is really just ubuntu with a slightly different setup
[03:19] <surjya> but if its netbook version there should be touchscreen driver
[03:19] <brjann> kinja-sheep: gedit can't actually read from pipes anymore
[03:20] <Lenin_Cat> uh-oh
[03:20] <surjya> how somebody can imagine netbooks without touchscreen?
[03:20] <Lenin_Cat> s
[03:20] <fivetwentysix> My internet stopped working, it's connected through a wire to a router, nothing has changed since yesterday as far as I know, it just doesn't work anymore. Any idea on how to troubleshoot this issue?
[03:20] <Lenin_Cat> sudo dpkg --configure -a isnt working
[03:21] <kinja-sheep> brjann: Just tried it. It worked. I remember it now though. :)
[03:21] <brjann> kinja-sheep: really? what did you do? there's a long-standing bug in launchpad re: gedit's inability to read from pipes
[03:22] <Nolan3> Hey, I just installed Ubuntu, but now it's not letting be boot into windows. It shows the Windows selection, but when I try to select it it just Gives me a blinking _
[03:22] <Nolan3> And suggestions?
[03:22] <Nolan3> Any*
[03:22] <kinja-sheep> brjann: grep or whatever (to get a list of files) | xargs gedit
[03:22] <dsnyders> Hi all, is there a grep expression for excluding lines?
[03:23] <brjann> kinja-sheep: oh, you just wanted to open the files? i'm sorry, i thought you wanted to edit the list itself :)
[03:23] <Lenin_Cat> sudo dpkg --configure -a isnt working, something is failing to configure
[03:23] <jburges> Nolan2: odd, I've never had any problems, how did you install it? livecd or wubi?
[03:23] <Nolan2> Livecd.
[03:23] <brjann> dsnyders: grep -v 'pattern' will exclude all lines matching pattern
[03:23] <Nolan2> John you ass. -.-
[03:23] <Nolan2> >.>
[03:23] <dsnyders> brjann, Thanks.
[03:24] <tomatoes7__> hallelujah i'm a bum
[03:25] <GeekSquid> surjya: xserver-xorg-input-evtouch  is the most common touchscreen driver .. other than that I cannot help
[03:25] <airtonix> trying to run this python script for notification daemon, ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotificationDevelopmentGuidelines?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=summary-body.py ) but it gives me an error that : http://pastebin.com/7TcEzThp
[03:25] <GeekSquid> surjya: it will be available in synaptic package manager
[03:25] <surjya> ok
[03:25] <surjya> let me check
[03:26] <Lenin_Cat> sudo dpkg --configure -a isnt working, something is failing to configure
[03:26] <alex702> where is xorg.conf in ubuntu 10.4?
[03:26] <GeekSquid> Lenin_Cat: it is sudo dpkg-reconfigure
[03:26] <GeekSquid> !lucid | alex702
[03:26] <kinja-sheep> alex702: #ubuntu+1
[03:26] <Nolan2> So, can anyone help me out?
[03:27] <Lenin_Cat> GeekSquid, /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: pgf is broken or not fully installed
[03:27] <alex702> where can i find xorg.conf ?
[03:27] <alex702> its not in etc/X11/
[03:27] <kinja-sheep> alex702: /join #ubuntu+1
[03:28] <alex702> thanks guys but i couldnt find it in 9.10 either
[03:28] <fivetwentysix> My internet stopped working, it's connected through a wire to a router, nothing has changed since yesterday as far as I know, it just doesn't work as of today. Any idea on how to troubleshoot this issue? Connecting through a ethernet controller. Running Karmic (9.10)
[03:28] <Lenin_Cat> why do users use unstable verisons of ubuntu as stable ones
[03:28] <brjann> fivetwentysix: I'm assuming you've verified that it's not your ISP? :)
[03:29] <GeekSquid> alex702: it isn't there XrandR takes care of everything in most cases ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xorg.conf
[03:29] <fivetwentysix> brjann: Yes, I'm connected to the same router on a mac book pro.
[03:29] <kinja-sheep> Lenin_Cat: Because stable machines freed up 90% of their times and they wish to avoid doing something productive.
[03:29] <fivetwentysix> brjann: However I'm through wireless. I will test now to see if it works with a wire.
[03:29] <pheonix> what does shift control alt f4 do?
[03:29] <brjann> fivetwentysix: good idea
[03:29] <Nolan2> !VMWare
[03:29] <Nolan2> !VirtualBox
[03:29] <john> Hi group  I got the montor working just fine I just updated to 9.10 but how does one load up drivers for a web Cam
[03:29] <Mulevad> What does ActionParsnip mean by !ati | mulevad
[03:30] <Nolan2> !free
[03:30] <kinja-sheep> Mulevad: ActionParsnip provide you information about !ati (for ubottu).
[03:30] <kinja-sheep> !ati | Mulevad
[03:30] <richlyn> installed tor and enabled ...got error "proxy server refusing connections"
[03:31] <fivetwentysix_> brjann: sorry accidently tripped my wire
[03:31] <GeekSquid> pheonix: not mapped to anything but because Ctrl-Alt-F4 will drop you to a virtual terminal scaf4 will do the same thing .... normally you wouldn't map all 3 modifier keys
[03:31] <fivetwentysix_> brjann: everything works
[03:31] <fivetwentysix_> brjann: nothing wrong with the router
[03:31] <brjann> fivetwentysix_: great, glad to hear it :)
[03:31] <fivetwentysix_> brjann: So what's wrong with ubuntu?
[03:31] <binMonkey> hi, guys.  google chrome unstable and beta have been stallling on me the last couple of days.  i finally looked at htop and realized that old sessions hadn't closed.  could that be the reason new sessions are stalling?  chrome is installed in /opt if it makes any difference.
[03:32] <fivetwentysix_> brjann: The network manager icon just keeps spinning but does nothing, can even go on for hours.
[03:32] <brjann> fivetwentysix_: does that machine just have one network card?
[03:32] <Mulevad> thanks ubottu - I'm off to binarydriverhowto land...
[03:33] <fivetwentysix_> brjann: yes.
[03:33] <brjann> fivetwentysix_: okay. are you familiar with the command line?
[03:33] <fivetwentysix_> brjann: Where is the log file for network activity located?
[03:33] <fivetwentysix_> brjann: Sort-of.
[03:34] <Hennkis> i have problems with network
[03:34] <brjann> fivetwentysix: there isn't a log file for networking exactly; most of the messages would end up in syslog
[03:34] <Hennkis> it doesnt work
[03:34] <brjann> fivetwentysix: /var/log/syslog i mean
[03:34] <Gamrok> guys what is the xforcevesa command
[03:34] <GeekSquid> !work | Hennkis
[03:34] <Hennkis> i cant connect my laptop to internet
[03:34] <surjya> i checked for this "xserver-xorg-input-evtouch" . its not there
[03:34] <Hennkis> i have static
[03:35] <brjann> fivetwentysix: open up a terminal window and    ifconfig
[03:35] <fivetwentysix> brjann: yeah i know
[03:35] <GeekSquid> !enter | Hennkis
[03:35] <fivetwentysix> brjann: okay
[03:35] <Hennkis> but i cant open any page from internet
[03:35] <Hennkis> ok
[03:35] <fivetwentysix> brjann: returns two controllers, eth0 + lo
[03:35] <Hennkis> sorry
[03:35] <brjann> fivetwentysix: would you mind pastebinning the output of ifconfig for me?
[03:35] <GeekSquid> Hennkis: if you set a static IP you need to provide a DNS server or you won't have internet ...
[03:35] <fivetwentysix> brjann: how I don't have network access lol
[03:36] <rinah> hi...............
[03:36] <brjann> fivetwentysix: ha! good point o_O sorry
[03:36] <GeekSquid> !hi |rinah
[03:36] <rinah> how are you?
[03:36] <fivetwentysix> brjann: err key points, eth0 says UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST
[03:36] <brjann> fivetwentysix: okay, does eth0 have anything listed next to inet addr: ?
[03:36] <Hennkis> dns?? i am new on this, letme see
[03:36] <GeekSquid> !chat | rinah
[03:36] <GeekSquid> !support | rinah
[03:37] <fivetwentysix> brjann: yeah it says inet6 addr: fe80::211... Spoke:Link
[03:37] <rinah> from where you?
[03:37] <Gamrok> guys what is the xforcevesa command
[03:37] <fivetwentysix> err Scope*
[03:37] <brjann> fivetwentysix: okay, so just an inet6 address? nothing with just inet?
[03:37] <fivetwentysix> brjann: Also there a /64 at the end just before Scope, but this machine is i386
[03:38] <GeekSquid> rinah: this is not a chat channel this is a support channel, not for idle chat, please find another, more appropriate channel
[03:38] <brjann> fivetwentysix: that's fine, that /64 is just a subnet mask, not related to your CPU
[03:38] <fivetwentysix> brjann: nothing with inet, this is probably because it's not connected to the network, it's trying to connect but does nothing.
[03:38] <rinah>  where you now geeksquid?
[03:38] <Stik> lol
[03:39] <brjann> fivetwentysix: right, that's what I wanted to verify.
[03:39] <GeekSquid> !troll | rinah
[03:39] <GeekSquid> you have been warned
[03:39] <fivetwentysix> brjann: I'm looking at the syslog, it says something like Stage 4 of 5 (IP6 configure Get) but i noticed there's no stage 5
[03:39] <rinah> what is your nationality?
[03:39] <Madpilot> rinah, if you just want to chat, join #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:40] <GeekSquid> !ops | rinah Troll or just plain idoit

[03:41] <Madpilot> GeekSquid, it's OK
[03:41] <fivetwentysix> brjann: yeah, and states it's complete. but doesn't start stage 5 of 5. I'm guessing there's no stage 5 of 5 because I searched my whole log for it to find nothing.
[03:41] <crankharder> what's the cmd to see the current version of ubuntu i have installed?
[03:41] <Madpilot> rinah, type "/join #ubuntu-offtopic" without the " around it
[03:41] <Madpilot> crankharder, "lsb_release -a" in terminal
[03:41] <brjann> fivetwentysix: yes, stage 5 is finalizing the network connection, which clearly isn't happening
[03:42] <fivetwentysix> brjann: Well it should display like on yesterdays log because it was working yesterday.
[03:42] <IdleOne> GeekSquid: you may want to take a look at the guidelines also and the !coc. I am sure that it says something about not calling people idiots
[03:42] <brjann> fivetwentysix: yesterday's log has probably been rotated; those are the .1, .2.gz, ... etc files
[03:42] <fivetwentysix> brjann: Was there any new updates that have occurred like a kernel update in the past few days, perhaps the user updated the machine and something broke.
[03:43] <brjann> fivetwentysix: no, i don't recall anything in the last few days besides a sudo security update
[03:43] <aggro> I'm wondering if someone can shed some light on why I can't boot into my usb installer. I did it yesterday, but instead of booting to usb, I guess it couldn't find it and went to network install and errored out. I got a proper usb stick today (was using an sd card with adapter yesterday) and now it says boot loader not found
[03:43] <brjann> fivetwentysix: try this: sudo service network-manager stop
[03:44] <brjann> fivetwentysix: then sudo service networking restart
[03:44] <Arsin> Hey I forgot how to install a program using the "Make" feature can anyone guide me?
[03:44] <crankharder> where does upstart keep its job definitions in 9.10?
[03:45] <GeekSquid> Arsin: what are you trying to install?
[03:45] <crankharder> i *think* they were kept in /etc/event.d in 8.10, but that's changed... maybe?
[03:45] <Arsin> GeekSquid: Avira
[03:45] <brjann> !checkinstall | Arsin
[03:46] <oso3000> i installed wine, then winetricks... now all my firefox fonts are broken, they look awful... i tried uninstalling "ms core fonts", but they're still broken... what should i do ??
[03:46] <Arsin> make: *** [avira-guard-applet] Error 1-- is what I get when I "sudo make install"
[03:47] <DaZ> Arsin: lack of permissions maybe?
[03:47] <DaZ> aw, nevermind
[03:47] <Arsin> There is a "make" file in there
[03:47] <Kamokow> Should I use FAT32 on a 1TB external drive, or should i use NTFS. I was thinking FAT32 is more compatable, but also NTFS has better support for larger drives :-/
[03:47] <Arsin> I did,     make clean, make, make install
[03:48] <oso3000> Kamokow, ntfs works great with the new driver
[03:48] <oso3000> i installed wine, then winetricks... now all my firefox fonts are broken, they look awful... i tried uninstalling "ms core fonts", but they're still broken... what should i do  ??
[03:48] <Arsin> Oh I;m getting that error when I run "make"
[03:48] <Kamokow> oso3000: Okay, thanks, I just have had problems with NTFS before, thought I would ask what anyone else thought.
[03:48] <hvtuananh> ntfs is working fine now :)
[03:49] <brjann> Arsin: sounds like a compilation problem, which is really beyond the scope of #ubuntu support
[03:49] <thecarlhall> I have something that is hanging my machine at shutdown.  Is there a way on restart to get the contents shown in the shutdown console?
[03:49] <r3dp0int> #list
[03:49] <GeekSquid> Arsin: I am not sure what you would need that for, linux is pretty virus free, I don't know why anyone would pay for virus software for linux... nextly, what brjann just said is true
[03:49] <hvtuananh> i don't use fat/fat32 anymore (except my thumb drv)
[03:49] <r3dp0int> !list
[03:49] <r3dp0int> #ubuntu-ko
[03:49] <fivetwentysix> brjann: hey sorry got disconnected
[03:49] <brjann> fivetwentysix: no problem
[03:50] <fivetwentysix> brjann: everything after my last message i didn't see.
[03:50] <brjann> fivetwentysix: okay. try     sudo service network-manager stop     and then    sudo service networking restart
[03:50] <Arsin> GeekSquid: Ya I never have used an anti-virus but a torrent I DL'ed according to the tracker message says "Its a virus" but the file works fine so I'd like to figure out what's going on with that.
[03:51] <airtonix> i'm getting an error of : "org.freedesktop.Notifications was not provided by any .service files" when i try to use that dbus service via python to print notifications to the screen... i have notification-daemon installed...
[03:51] <GeekSquid> Arsin: use clam-av ... it is available in the repositories ... it is compiled and it is free
[03:51] <brjann> !info clamtk | Arsin
[03:52] <Arsin> Ya I guess, I just trust Avira more than I do Clam
[03:52] <dsnyders> Has anybody gotten kpovmodeler working in 9.04?
[03:52] <GeekSquid> ty brjann
[03:53] <brjann> GeekSquid: np :)
[03:53] <oso3000> i installed wine, then winetricks... now all my firefox fonts are broken, they look awful... i tried uninstalling "ms core fonts", but they're still broken... what should i do ??
[03:53] <brjann> fivetwentysix: the internet does not like you tonight :)
[03:53] <surjya> while installing xserver-xorg-input-evtouch on command line its showing error as package not found
[03:53] <fivetwentysix> brjann: actually some kind of hardware issue with my macbookpro
[03:53] <fivetwentysix> brjann: really annoying
[03:54] <fivetwentysix> brjann: So did you have any further instructions?
[03:54] <surjya> do i need to add any repository for this?
[03:54] <brjann> fivetwentysix: i can imagine. yes i did: try   sudo service network-manager stop    and then   sudo service networking restart
[03:54] <jmfedlp> hola
[03:54] <fivetwentysix> brjann: sudo service network-manager restarrt?
[03:55] <brjann> fivetwentysix: no, first   sudo service network-manager stop
[03:55] <aggro> i'm trying to boot into the ubuntu installer using a usb stick. i keep getting the error message bootmgr is missing. the only fix i see is to use a windows install dvd, but my drive is not currently working. any ideas?
[03:55] <GeekSquid> surjya: it is in the universe repository ... go to software sources, repoistories, and check universe and reload apt cache
[03:55] <brjann> fivetwentysix: then    sudo service networking restart
[03:55] <fivetwentysix> brjann: unknown instance
[03:55] <brjann> fivetwentysix: this is karmic, right?
[03:55] <fivetwentysix> brjann: yes
[03:56] <anom01y> Hi I have ubuntu 9.10, when I do apt-get update it gets to 92% then gives me a input/output error
[03:56] <brjann> fivetwentysix: sudo service --status-all 2>&1 | grep -i network
[03:56] <fivetwentysix> i did --status-list, there is indeed networking below network-manager but they have a ? in front of them
[03:56] <anom01y> http://pastebin.ca/1816488
[03:56] <brjann> fivetwentysix: okay, that's normal, mine shows that too. nevermind the grep command above then
[03:57] <brjann> fivetwentysix: sudo service network-manager status
[03:57] <fivetwentysix> brjann: stop/waiting
[03:57] <Jordan_U> aggro, How did you try to get the Ubuntu installer onto the usb stick? "bootmgr missing" is a windows error so I don't understand what that has to do with installing Ubuntu from a flash drive.
[03:57] <brjann> fivetwentysix: okay, then sudo service networking restart
[03:58] <fivetwentysix> brjann: restart: Unknown instance:
[03:58] <fivetwentysix> brjann: says nothing after Unknown instance:
[03:58] <Arsin> How can I get Clam-AV to open up?
[03:58] <aggro> Jordan_U, I am using UNetbootin to create the installer onto the usb drive.
[03:58] <brjann> fivetwentysix: odd. okay then, sudo service networking start
[03:58] <fivetwentysix> brjann: networking: stop/waiting
[03:59] <fivetwentysix> brjann: perhaps i need to start networking manager first?
[03:59] <brjann> fivetwentysix: okay, now look at the end of your syslog and see if there's anything new related to networking, eth0, etc
[03:59] <GeekSquid> Arsin: instructions here http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-clam-antivirus-with-gtk-frontend-gui.html
[03:59] <Jordan_U> aggro, Are you sure that you are booting from the USB drive when you get that error?
[03:59] <brjann> fivetwentysix: no, network-manager isn't required for networking
[04:00] <aggro> Jordan_U, yes, not only have I changed BIOS setting to looks for bootable USB sticks, I am also manually selecting that particular media to boot from using the "boot manager" (mac os term)
[04:00] <fivetwentysix> brjann: nothing related to networking, or eth0, except the last line says kernel: [ 3771.417051 ] sky2 eth0: disabling interface
[04:00] <fivetwentysix> brjann: this is 5 minutes ago though
[04:01] <Ox83> having rootstock issue: sudo project-rootstock/rootstock --fqdn ubuntu --login ubuntu --password ubuntu --notarball --imagesize 3G hangs at I: Extracting zlib1g...
[04:01] <brjann> fivetwentysix: okay... was that when you unplugged the cable?
[04:01] <spiffythekid> where is the universal crontab found in all distributions located?
[04:01] <fivetwentysix> brjann: when I typed network-manager stop i think
[04:01] <Ox83> anyone else playing with rootstock on karmic have same issue?
[04:02] <aggro> Jordan_U, I got it, looks like it didn't like the USB key being in NTFS format. Changed it to FAT32 and now it is indeed booting. thanks for your replies :)
[04:02] <Jordan_U> aggro, You're welcome :)
[04:02] <GeekSquid> spiffythekid: I wouldn't say all distro's but /etc/crontab is the default for ubuntu
[04:02] <brjann> fivetwentysix: okay. lemme think for a sec
[04:02] <dre> anybody want to help with getting my wireless going?
[04:03] <fivetwentysix> brjann: okay
[04:03] <brjann> fivetwentysix: do you have anything in the file /etc/networking/interfaces ?
[04:03] <brjann> fivetwentysix: sorry, /etc/network/interfaces
[04:03] <otis> hey ultimate edition corrupted my images how do i fix this
[04:04] <fivetwentysix> brjann: auto lo\ni face lo inet loopback
[04:04] <brjann> fivetwentysix: okay, good
[04:04] <fivetwentysix> brjann: \n = newline, just incase
[04:04] <dre> network manager says device not ready.  its a pcmcia dwl650
[04:05] <spiffythekid> GeekSquid: you're saying it's just a file within /etc/ not within /ect/cron.daily/ or something like that?
[04:05] <omni> hm
[04:05] <brjann> fivetwentysix: got it :) okay, well, let's try another approach. sudo service network-manager start
[04:05] <fivetwentysix> brjann: started.
[04:05] <brjann> fivetwentysix: now check syslog, see if it's trying to start up
[04:06] <GeekSquid> spiffythekid: on my system /etc/crontab is a file which I haven't touched , so yes but more info follows
[04:06] <brjann> fivetwentysix: it may also be writing to daemon.log if there's nothing there
[04:06] <otis> ltimate edition corrupted my images how do i fix this
[04:06] <fivetwentysix> brjann: Like before completes stage 4, no word of stage 5, doesn't even schedule it.

[04:06] <bugaloo> guys, I'm using a laptop HP dv2000 and my sound card uses snd_hda_intel module. I'm trying to change some confs on alsa using the model parameter on modprobe (like "modprobe snd_hda_intel model=laptop-hp") trying to fix a sound problem. How can I be sure that the "model" parameter is making any difference?
[04:06] <otis> ultimate edition corrupted my images how do i fix this

[04:07] <b2p1mp> Im looking for something like vmware for ubuntu...can someone name a good one free one please?
[04:07] <fivetwentysix> brjann: and kernel etho0: no IPv6 routers present.
[04:07] <surjya> i can see the xserver-xorg-input-* all modules in synaptic package manager except for evtouch.....
[04:07] <Figaro11> okay so I installed Ubuntu using wubi installer and I couldn't ever connect to the internet because of a driver issue with my PCI wireless card
[04:07] <rww> b2p1mp: Virtualbox
[04:07] <surjya> how can i install it?
[04:07] <bugaloo> b2p1mp, I know people like to use Xen, but I never got to use it
[04:07] <b2p1mp> rww ty
[04:07] <GeekSquid> b2p1mp: vmware is available as is virtualbox as is KVM ,
[04:07] <brjann> fivetwentysix: anything interesting at the end of kern.log?
[04:08] <b2p1mp> kvm, Xen, virtual box ok
[04:08] <GeekSquid> surjya: did you add the universe repository and apt-get update?
[04:08] <b2p1mp> ty
[04:09] <surjya> can i please know the command for adding universe repository?
[04:09] <otis> can any 1 help me
[04:09] <anom01y> anyone know why I can't apt-get update, or apt-get remove anything (I get an input / output error) ... ?

[04:10] <otis> ltimate edition corrupted my images how do i fix this
[04:10] <brjann> fivetwentysix: hm. "link is not ready" usually means the cable's not plugged in
[04:11] <fivetwentysix> brjann: the lights are flashing and everything
[04:11] <brjann> fivetwentysix: didn't have a thunderstorm last night, did you?
[04:12] <GeekSquid> surjya: not a command .. open Synaptic Package Manager ... click settings>repositories>   make sure the first 4 checkboxes are checked .. then close the repositories window and click reload in synaptic, then search again
[04:12] <fivetwentysix> brjann: if the wire works when i plug it into my mac book pro, there are no lights on the router wire slots but they flash on the pc's ethernet device
[04:13] <fivetwentysix> brjann: Also ubuntu recognizes when i unplug the wire
[04:13] <brjann> fivetwentysix: okay, scratch that off the list then :)
[04:13] <fivetwentysix> brjann: i just unplugged it and it said wire disconnected
[04:13] <fivetwentysix> brjann: Any ideas?
[04:14] <brjann> fivetwentysix: thinking and researching some more :)
[04:14] <fivetwentysix> brjann: I think it's got to be some kind of update that broke my network
[04:14] <Wubuntu> i'm using Karmic and have a Microdia TwinkleCam USB camera that i can't seem to get to operate. Can anyone assist me with this problem?
[04:14] <pangolin_rollin> gps on ttyUSB0 shows data but does recognize in gpsdrive. anyone know the solution? thanks
[04:14] <GeekSquid> fivetwentysix: with the wire plugged in ... open a terminal and ping <IP_ADDRESS> .. see if you get a response from the server
[04:14] <pangolin_rollin> **does't
[04:14] <fivetwentysix> brjann: Network is unreachable!
[04:14] <fivetwentysix> brjann: lol
[04:14] <brjann> fivetwentysix: you can check that in synaptic, under File > History. it'll show you what packages have been installed and when
[04:15] <fivetwentysix> brjann: guess not, last entry was on the 18th of feb
[04:16] <brjann> fivetwentysix: alright. let's try something else
[04:16] <brjann> fivetwentysix: what's the IP of the laptop you're on now? probably 192.168.x.x
[04:16] <wfelipe> hi, how can I change the routing table in Linux? in order to decide which gateway should I use based on the source address
[04:16] <fivetwentysix> brjann: <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:17] <fivetwentysix> brjann: you want me to ping it right, but theres no connection to the network from ubuntu to the router
[04:17] <brjann> brjann: now, that wasn't me :)
[04:17] <brjann> fivetwentysix: whoops, talking to myself. no, that wasn't me :)
[04:17] <jazusa03> is this channel for internet related problems only? sry im kind of new to this
[04:17] <brjann> fivetwentysix: alright, let's try giving your problem computer a static ip
[04:18] <fivetwentysix> brjann: ok
[04:18] <otis> ultimate edition corrupted my images how do i fix this
[04:18] <fivetwentysix> brjann: How-to? I actually always wanted to know how to do this.
[04:18] <brjann> fivetwentysix: sudo ifconfig eth0 <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <IP_ADDRESS> up
[04:18] <brjann> fivetwentysix: this is a temporary assignment, it wouldn't last across reboots
[04:19] <Jon-> I am having an issue with an HP F4180 printer, accessing through an SAMBA share from a Windows2000 PC using karmic. Issue: The HP F4100 series driver only causes my printer to spin-up and not actually print when sending a job [probably due to the job not being sent properly and the printer rejecting it]. Any ideas? Please help. Thank you.
[04:19] <pangolin_rollin> fixing fprint reader??? fingerprint reader shows in device list but fprint demo doesn't recognize. fingerprint gui shows device but doesn't accept data?
[04:19] <fivetwentysix> brjann: okay did that followed by service network-manager restart
[04:20] <brjann> fivetwentysix: no, we're trying without network-manager now ;)
[04:20] <rww> otis: Ultimate Edition isn't a supported Ubuntu derivative, you'd have to ask them about it.
[04:20] <fivetwentysix> brjann: stop networking manager?
[04:20] <brjann> fivetwentysix: network-manager will try and assume control of the device
[04:20] <brjann> fivetwentysix: mhm, sudo service network-manager stop
[04:21] <brjann> fivetwentysix: then again: sudo ifconfig eth0 <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <IP_ADDRESS> up
[04:21] <fivetwentysix> avahi registers aedddress record for <IP_ADDRESS> on eth0.IPv4
[04:21] <fivetwentysix> brjann: link becomes ready
[04:22] <brjann> fivetwentysix: fantastic. now ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:22] <fivetwentysix> brjann: then stops at no IPv6 routers present
[04:22] <ryanprior> What's a good way to get rid of lots of the useless fonts in Ubuntu?
[04:22] <brjann> fivetwentysix: that's fine, ipv4 is all we care about now
[04:22] <fivetwentysix> brjann: bingo
[04:22] <fivetwentysix> brjann: can ping
[04:22] <Jon-> See previous comment : is this purely a driver issue, or can I do something about this?
[04:22] <chd> I get this error when I try to play music in rhythmbox The playback of this movie requires a MPEG-1 Layer 3 (MP3) decoder plugin which is not installed.
[04:22] <otis> how do i fix corrupt  images
[04:22] <brjann> fivetwentysix: alright. your problem is clearly not hardware related -- it seems like network-manager is failing to get a dynamic IP from your router
[04:23] <jazusa03> I'm having trouble getting Compiz Fusion and Emerald to work properly, Emerald will theme the outside of the window, but the inside (text/window background/scrollbars ect) is still the same as the original GTK theme, I have ran both by Terminal and they don't display any errors, any advice?
[04:23] <fivetwentysix> brjann: yup
[04:23] <brjann> fivetwentysix: do you have any sort of limitations enabled on what mac addresses are allowed to get IPs from the router or anything like that?
[04:23] <crdlb> jazusa03: that is perfectly normal
[04:23] <rww> ubottu: emerald | jazusa03
[04:24] <fivetwentysix> brjann: it's a linksys wireless router
[04:24] <fivetwentysix> brjann: and i don't think so, i think this is a client side issue because it works with my macbook pro
[04:24] <otis> how do i fix corrupt images
[04:25] <jazusa03> I guess i will search for an alternative to Emerald then
[04:25] <Jon-> fivetwentysix: Have you tried restarting the router/renewing the DHCP record on the router?
[04:25] <pangolin_rollin> anyone see this message?
[04:25] <DJ_HaMsTa> why does ubuntu not shut down the monitors backlight after being idle ?
[04:25] <DJ_HaMsTa> it shuts down the panel or makes everything black but the backlight is still on
[04:26] <crdlb> jazusa03: regardless of the decorator you use, the contents of your apps will look the same
[04:26] <fivetwentysix> Jon- yeah
[04:26] <kinja-sheep> DJ_HaMsTa: Your mileage may vary. It works fine for me. My monitor goes to standby mode.
[04:26] <brjann> fivetwentysix: okay, since we've been mucking with services and IPs and such, would you reboot your problem computer so we can start fresh looking at network-manager specifically?
[04:26] <fivetwentysix> brjann: btw i don't have internet access on ubuntu, however i can connect to the router admin page
[04:27] <brjann> fivetwentysix: right, that's because we didn't set up DNS, just IP
[04:27] <fivetwentysix> brjann: alright rebooting
[04:27] <DJ_HaMsTa> kinja-sheep, what is this your mileage may vary analogy ?
[04:27] <brjann> fivetwentysix: let me know when you're ready to go
