[06:00] <faddah> ok, here it is again --> hi all - back with more questions on installing flash on an iMac w/ intel quad core i7 processor w/ VMWare Fusion: so i found these docus from mozilla about flash: http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/linux-amd64.html#flash , except there's no more  Flash Player 10.0 x86_64 Alpha to download any more and every time i try to do the alternate thing with nspluginwrapper i get "nspluginwrapper: no appropriate viewer found f
[06:00] <faddah> or libflashplayer.so" --
[06:00] <faddah>  very frustrating, as you can imagine. just want flash installed on my VM of Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit
[06:00] <tolkad> snuxoll: or are they shipped?
[06:00] <maco> tolkad: to buy an ubuntu machine?
[06:00] <tolkad> yeah snuxoll said they are free
[06:01] <maco> tolkad: no, the software is free
[06:01] <Jordan_U> faddah: Go to Applications > Ubuntu Software Center and search for adobe flash.
[06:01] <maco> tolkad: hardware's not
[06:01] <fridgerator> talkad the operating system is free... you will not find a free computer
[06:01] <tolkad> Jordan_U: it's not there
[06:01] <snuxoll> faddah: just install the flashplugin-nonfree package
[06:02] <snuxoll> faddah: it does all that for you
[06:02] <snuxoll> faddah: is awesome
[06:02] <tolkad> Jordan_U: I have my Applications folder open right now
[06:02] <Scunizi> fridgerator: I've found several.... door stops people wanted to give away
[06:02] <fridgerator> scunizi i assumed tolkad was talking about a new computer
[06:02] <DSSA> Could someone help me with a frozen 10.04 install that I had to manually shut down?  When I'm at the command line and type sudo dpkg --configure -a it says "dpkg: parse error, in file 'var/lib/dpkg/updates/0000' near line 0: newline in field name '#padding' "
[06:03] <snuxoll> DSSA: erm....heh
[06:03] <scriptwarlock> faddah: isn't flash available in there website for downloads?
[06:03] <Scunizi> fridgerator: probably .. I just came in and saw the comment.. :)  .. now gotta go again.. ciao!
[06:03] <Underbyte> hmm, interesting question
[06:03] <snuxoll> DSSA: you are probably hosed
[06:03] <DSSA> snuxollL That doesn't sound good..
[06:03] <snuxoll> DSSA: your dpkg database is corrupt
[06:03] <Underbyte> okay, i would like to open a telnet session on a certain port on my server, to see if the port is open on my network (big school network) ... any suggestions
[06:03] <Underbyte> ?
[06:03] <tolkad> DSSA: open the var/lib/dpkg/updates/0000 file, go to the "#padding" field, and remove the newline from its value
[06:03] <DSSA> Is there any way to revert to the older Ubuntu?
[06:04] <tolkad> DSSA: that should fix the problem
[06:05] <DSSA> tolkad: Sorry...I don't know what to enter to get there
[06:05] <DSSA> I'm pretty new at this.
[06:05] <faddah> Jordan_U & snuxoll: hang on, checking that & checking install in firefox.
[06:05] <speedio> I'm gonna try my question again: I'm having problems with 3d acceleration. I enabled the restricted drivers. and I have run the updater and rebooted. (new ubuntu install). However 3d acceleration hardly works. In quakelive I have 5 fps or less. and even cairo-dock lags horibly if i run it with "-o" (i just run that with "-c" though). My graphics card is a geforce 285 glx. sugestions? :)
[06:05] <tolkad> DSSA: vim /var/lib/dpkg/updates/0000
[06:05] <snuxoll> speedio: you installed restricted drivers from jockey, correct?
[06:06] <tolkad> DSSA: these people will probably try to get you to use emacs but don't, it's terrible, vim is much better and not terrible
[06:06] <snuxoll> tolkad: please stop trolling
[06:06] <snuxoll> I played along with the SCO thing, you can stop now
[06:06] <nimbiotics> Hello. Im trying to setup remote desktop sharing but as soon as I enable it I get a message stating that my desktop is reachable ONLY from LAN and I need to be able to use it thru internet. How do I change this behavior? TIA!
[06:06] <speedio> snuxoll: no. I can enable that in the software manager right? havent been on ubuntu for 6 months. gone a tad blank :)
[06:07] <DSSA> okay, now I have a screen that says "var/lib/dpkg/updates/0000" [New DIRECTORY]
[06:07] <vladikoff_> speedio, heya
[06:07] <snuxoll> speedio: System -> Administration -> Restricted Drivers
[06:07] <snuxoll> speedio: that's jockey
[06:07] <speedio> snuxoll: allright. thanks. I'll have a look
[06:07] <tolkad> DSSA: honestly, fixing that specific error in the database probably wont help. if it got messed up there's probably a lot more wrong with it that you wont be able to fix
[06:08] <snuxoll> nimbiotics: You need to forward the VNC port, obviously
[06:08] <snuxoll> nimbiotics: for screen :0 it should be port 5900
[06:08] <DSSA> tolkad: If I download the 10.04 file and reload along side of the current will that work without removing my personal data?
[06:08] <DSSA> ..or anyone else?
[06:09] <nimbiotics> snuxoll>	Any ideas why is it that cannot see tha advanced tba?
[06:09] <snuxoll> nimbiotics: eh?
[06:10] <snuxoll> nimbiotics: what advanced tab?
[06:10] <speedio> snuxoll: there was no "system -> administration -> restriced drivers" menu.
[06:10] <snuxoll> speedio: sorry, hardware drivers
[06:10] <speedio> snuxoll: righty. thats the one I enabled.
[06:10] <speedio> earlier.
[06:10] <snuxoll> speedio: restarted your PC since?
[06:10] <Jordan_U> DSSA: I've never personally done it but you should be able to re-install without reformatting your Ubuntu partition, so that only system directories will be overwritten but your /home will be preserved.
[06:10] <speedio> snuxoll: yes.
[06:10] <DSSA> Jordan: Thanks!
[06:11] <snuxoll> speedio: run "glxinfo | grep vendor" for me
[06:11] <snuxoll> speedio: tell me what server glx vendor says
[06:11] <nimbiotics> snuxoll>	ive been searching and ive seen an advanced tab showing in the remote desktop preferences
[06:11] <snuxoll> nimbiotics: there isn't one and it won't help you access it from the internet
[06:11] <snuxoll> nimbiotics: you need to enable port forwarding in your router
[06:11] <nimbiotics> snuxoll>	OK, thanks a bunch!
[06:11] <speedio> snuxoll: doh. I think I actually forgot to reboot. as I don't have that command. /facepalm
[06:11] <snuxoll> nimbiotics: port 5900
[06:12] <Jordan_U> DSSA: You're welcome, but be *very* carefull in the manual partitioning during install. Be sure that "/" is not set to be reformatted or you'll lose all your data.
[06:12] <snuxoll> speedio: heh
[06:12] <nimbiotics> snuxoll>	roger that!
[06:12] <snuxoll> speedio: actually, no
[06:12] <OpenSourcery> im having some trouble printing from my computer; when i send something to be printed my printer just prints blank pages over and over again till i cancel the job from the printer
[06:12] <snuxoll> speedio: I have some developer packages installed
[06:12] <faddah> Jordan_U & snuxoll - thanx for the tip, i tested it and it's working now. i thought i looked there before but i couldn't find it, maybe it was in the update center, but kept saying that you can't install on this machine as it's amd64 (even tho' it's intel quad core i7).
[06:12] <DSSA> Jordan: I found this: http://blog.ibeentoubuntu.com/2010/05/unscrewing-your-failed-ubuntu-1004.html
[06:12] <snuxoll> speedio: inst'll mesa-utils
[06:12] <snuxoll> speedio: that'll have glxinfo
[06:12] <DSSA> Does that seem pretty reliable?
[06:13] <scriptwarlock> OpenSourcery: printer model
[06:14] <OpenSourcery> brother mfc-8220
[06:14] <speedio> snuxoll: server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
[06:14] <speedio> client glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
[06:14] <speedio> OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
[06:14] <speedio> snuxoll: I'll do the reboot though. just to make sure. thanks for all the help mate.
[06:14] <faddah> i'll sign off now, thanx for the help!
[06:14] <snuxoll> speedio: speedio what does glxgears give you as a framerate (run it in a terminal)
[06:14] <DSSA1> doh!  MIRC booted me
[06:15] <snuxoll> lol mirc
[06:15] <Jordan_U> DSSA: That guide looks good overall but I think that "gconftool --recursive-unset /" is overkill in your case as your gconf settings are probably fine (that command will reset pretty much all your preferences in all applications) and I would avoid Ubuntu Tweak.
[06:15] <DSSA1> Okay, thanks again!
[06:17] <speedio> snuxoll: 50 frames in 5 sec. but I think it's running using the CPU as the system basicly freezes
[06:17] <snuxoll> speedio: probably, which is not good
[06:18] <snuxoll> speedio: reboot once more
[06:18] <speedio> snuxoll: allright. back in a few
[06:18] <eryn_1983> hey can somebody help me?

[06:19] <stwobe> not at the same time??

[06:21] <bnjmn> what's a good text editor for linux that's like TextMate or Notepad++?
[06:21] <Underbyte> hey guys, how do i check for the number of file descriptors compiled in kernel?
[06:21] <scriptwarlock> bnjmn:  depends on your taste for me im good on gedit
[06:21] <stwobe> bnjmn - nano, ate, vim, zim -lots.
[06:22] <eryn_1983> nomad77:  it says  junk arguments
[06:22] <stwobe> who's jono?
[06:22] <bnjmn> scriptwarlock, anything else along the lines of gedit?
[06:22] <stwobe> no the jono?
[06:22] <speedio> snuxoll: works like a charm now. thanks a million.
[06:22] <eryn_1983> sigh
[06:22] <nomad77> eryn_1983: any virtual consolewill do, if your current is screen 1 use 0 or 2 whoops use xinit not xintrc
[06:22] <jono> stwobe, the jono?
[06:22] <jono> that jono bacon guy?
[06:22] <scriptwarlock> bnjmn:  as what stwobe says
[06:22] <jono> no he is an ass
[06:23] <jono> ;-)
[06:23] <stwobe> yeah, not that one?
[06:23] <jono> stwobe, I am him
[06:24] <stwobe> how u doing?  Awesome Live CD for guitarists.
[06:26] <geekphreak> hello all
[06:26] <stwobe> Jono: I understand you play  a little guitar.
[06:26] <geekphreak> man new ubuntu has taken so many tools off the repo
[06:27] <stwobe> hello geekphreak.
[06:27] <mneptok> geekphreak: please don't refer to Canonical staff and MOTU members that way.
[06:27] <mneptok> *bah*dum*tish*
[06:27] <jono> mneptok, who are you?
[06:27] <geekphreak> mneptok: excuse me?
[06:27] <jono> and why are you are being so rude?
[06:27] <jono> can an op eject mneptok from here please?
[06:27] <scriptwarlock> OpenSourcery: have you ried connecting it with server:631 in your browser?
[06:27]  * mneptok blinks
[06:28] <stwobe> I had a bad dream and couldn't sleeep/
[06:28] <maco> jono: mneptok IS an op
[06:28] <jono> maco, I was joking
[06:28] <jono> I know mneptok :)
[06:28] <stwobe> I am using Knopix Adriane - for blind people..
[06:28] <geekphreak> mneptok: i did not say anything bout a staff
[06:28] <maco> jono: ok youre a good faker
[06:28] <jono> maco, I used to work with him :)
[06:29] <maco> jono: i was starting to wonder whether you needed to set guard or whatever it is on your nickserv :P
[06:29] <maco> jono: yeah see i thought it was *some other jono* using your nick
[06:29] <jono> lol
[06:29] <geekphreak> man some people
[06:30] <maco> geekphreak: he was making a joke that you'd referred to canonifolk and motu as tools
[06:30] <stwobe> has ubuntu got "Copy to Ram" at all for Live mode?
[06:30] <maco> stwobe: yes
[06:30] <maco> stwobe: i forget the kernel parameter for it... i think its just "toram" but yes
[06:31] <Tehedra> Anyone here ever ran SQUID3?  I have it running now but i cant seem to connect to it
[06:31] <stwobe> cool. Aha! So what do I type to acces it then?
[06:31] <Tehedra> Anyone know if theres any way to find logs for it or anything??
[06:31] <snuxoll> maco: I think they removed copy to ram from casper, actually
[06:32] <stwobe> maco: would it be live + toram?
[06:32] <maco> snuxoll: what what?
[06:32] <geekphreak> Tehedra: most logs are in /var/logs, looked there?
[06:32] <maco> snuxoll: when?
[06:32] <OpenSourcery> scriptwarlock: teh connection just times out
[06:32] <snuxoll> maco: fiesty
[06:32] <stwobe> Sounds complicated. I am no expert.
[06:32] <snuxoll> maco: it's been broken since
[06:32] <maco> snuxoll: i did it with hardy or so...
[06:32] <stwobe> Perhaps I meant is there an option when booting the disc?
[06:33] <maco> stwobe: when the live cd boots theres an option to change the kernel boot parameters. i think its F6? you just type in "toram" in the box
[06:33] <stwobe> that is cool
[06:33] <snuxoll> maco: oh, hey , fix released, finally
[06:33] <snuxoll> maco: I remember it being broken ages ago, bug on LP seems to have a resolution now
[06:33] <maco> snuxoll: either in 2008 or 2009 it worked for me, when i did it on a bunch of machines at best buy :)
[06:34] <snuxoll> maco: get kicked out of the store? :P
[06:34] <maco> nope
[06:34] <snuxoll> maco: heh
[06:34] <Tehedra> /var/log thanks
[06:34] <snuxoll> FF4 is rather nice, it actually feels like a GNOME app now
[06:34] <Tehedra> now the issue is its not even s howing that i attempted to connect to it
[06:34] <maco> snuxoll: awwww
[06:35] <scriptwarlock> OpenSourcery: so the problem is only at your network pc that cant print or print blank? assume we dont have problems at your pc server with brother printer
[06:35] <Jordan_U> maco: toram seems to have failed for me with an lubuntu 10.04 CD.
[06:35] <stwobe> What's the waether like where you are? Anyone?
[06:36] <stwobe> interesting Jordan_U
[06:36] <stwobe> lubuntu=lush
[06:36] <Jordan_U> snuxoll: Do you have a link to that bug report?
[06:36] <jmad980> 0.0
[06:37] <maco> Jordan_U: remember: better to open a new bug mentioning the old one than to reopen the old one
[06:37] <snuxoll> Jordan_U: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/casper/+bug/25496
[06:37] <Jordan_U> maco: I know, just looking at the old one for reference :)
[06:37] <stwobe> Overcast here.
[06:38] <Jordan_U> snuxoll: Thanks.
[06:38] <Raptors> Hey guys, my bro is new to ubuntu and is trying to browse the samba server set up on my computer (he's on the same network as me)
[06:39] <scriptwarlock> Raptors: and then
[06:39] <Raptors> he install samba and smbfs but he still can't see it under networks
[06:39] <Raptors> installed*
[06:39] <snuxoll> Raptors: Places -> Network -> Windows Network
[06:39] <Raptors> He can't see it under there...
[06:39] <snuxoll> Raptors: then try smb://[HOSTNAME HERE] as a path in nautilus
[06:39] <snuxoll> Raptors: or try Places -> Connect to Server and enter the info in there
[06:40] <Raptors> Is there a way to refresh it or something?
[06:40] <Tehedra> could my issue be something to do with my iptables??
[06:40] <Raptors> or tell it look for the servers?
[06:41] <OpenSourcery> scriptwarlock: i think i fixed it; when you asked me how i did the drivers, i went back thru the setup i did to recall it and i noticed that there is two drivers for the printer a postscript one and a br-script3 one
[06:41] <scriptwarlock> OpenSourcery: congrats you figure it out
[06:42] <OpenSourcery> scriptwarlock: i had set the print up as the ps one as i didnt know what brscript was and this time i chose the brscript one just to see what would happen and it worked
[06:42] <Raptors> I told him to put smb://bash-desktop/ in the location bar and he said its not doing anything
[06:42] <Raptors> just loading
[06:42] <scriptwarlock> OpenSourcery: thats nice please document what you did and put it in a safe place
[06:43] <OpenSourcery> will do
[06:43] <OpenSourcery> well thank you
[06:45] <Raptors> Does anyone have any ideas?

[06:46] <scriptwarlock> Raptors: have you shared anything from your server like some folder?
[06:47] <CkhiKuzad> I need some help, i want to install ubuntu 10.04 on my second partition, without a live anything. no livedisks or liveUSBs or updating. i want to know how to use the semi-automated install process from a cd's ISO to install it on my second hard drive from within this system.
[06:47] <Fudge> hi, init 4 would change your runlevel ro 4 correct?
[06:47] <ikonia> Fudge: be aware that ubuntu no longer uses standard run levels with upstart
 Raptors: have you shared anything from your server like some folder?
[06:47] <Raptors> Yes
[06:47] <Raptors> my server was working fine when he was using windows
[06:48] <Raptors> so I don't think its a prob on my side
[06:48] <Guest31736> hi
[06:48] <nomad77> Raptors: this may be dated https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba
[06:49] <Raptors> ok...
[06:49] <Raptors> So?
[06:49] <scriptwarlock> Raptors: at the "connect to Server" what are the inputs
[06:49] <Fudge> ikonia  im trying to see if me changing init somehow killed my sound, i have no sound an all settings look fine
[06:49] <Raptors> scriptwarlock, what do you mean?

[06:53] <Raptors> scriptwarlock, I don't see why its not working for him...
[06:53] <Raptors> he did a clean install and install samba
[06:53] <Raptors> shouldn't it automatically show up under network?
[06:53] <Raptors> samba and smbfs
[06:54] <scriptwarlock> Raptors: thats what were trying to look...
[06:54] <Raptors> This is a rather annoying process
[06:54] <cggaurav> Hi! Guys

[06:55] <cggaurav> Raptors: I seemed to have bought a vuvuzela!
[06:55] <cggaurav> Raptors: No mate, any sound.
[06:55] <cggaurav> Raptors: But I wish it was a Vuvuzela.
[06:55] <Raptors> lol
[06:56] <Guest17848> hello
[06:56] <CkhiKuzad> yay, i get no help.
[06:56] <cggaurav> Raptors: So, how do I correct the sound. New to Karmic.
[06:56] <Raptors> I'm not sure...
[06:57] <Raptors> Did you try the setting under sound?

[07:00] <Raptors> scriptwarlock, nothing. There are no replys
[07:00] <fishka112> in out speaker ok, but in build not

[07:01] <opij> is there a good built in calendar program in ubuntu?
[07:01] <opij> with ALARMS

[07:01] <scriptwarlock> Raptors: let him use the "connect to Server" and supply inputs there
[07:02] <byerley> hi, I've messed up my bootloader pretty thoroughly after a couple ubuntu/windows installations on what used to be a dual-boot system. I'm a fairly experienced linux user and I've been through a couple tutorials, but none of the usual methods seems to be working.(at the moment I just get a grub command line when I boot from hard drive) Would anyone be willing to walk me through some trouble shooting methods?
[07:03] <Jordan_U> stwobe: Seems the reason that toram wasn't working for me was that I didn't give the VM I tested in enough RAM (though it should give an error message in that case rather than booting noramlly). I can confirm that if you have 1 GB or more of RAM toram works with 10.04.
[07:03] <Raptors> scriptwarlock, What do I put under Server and share
[07:03] <Raptors> ?
[07:03] <Raptors> Sever = server name Bash-desktop?
[07:03] <nomad77> Raptors: what windows version?
[07:03] <scriptwarlock> Raptors: windows share
[07:03] <Raptors> I'm on ubuntu
[07:03] <Raptors> its a samba server
[07:03] <snuxoll> Jordan_U: good news
[07:03] <scriptwarlock> Raptors: skip the "share:"
[07:03] <Raptors> scriptwarlock, I know its a windows share, I want to know what I put under server and share
[07:04] <Raptors> kk
[07:04] <scriptwarlock> Raptors: server is your servers network ip
[07:04] <cggaurav> Raptors : There is too much information. Can you break down sound here for me.
[07:04] <CkhiKuzad> I need some help, i want to install ubuntu 10.04 on my second partition, without a live anything. no livedisks or liveUSBs or updating. i want to know how to use the semi-automated install process from a cd's ISO to install it on my second hard drive from within this system.
[07:05] <scriptwarlock> Raptors: username is your servers username login and then connect you are prompted to supply the passwd and use the server login password
[07:05] <scriptwarlock> Raptors: Folder: is the shared folder of your server
[07:05] <paco_the_taco> it says null not working
[07:05] <Raptors> kk
[07:06] <opij> that you can set for a future date
[07:06] <opij> is there a good built in calendar program in ubuntu?
[07:06] <opij> with ALARMS
[07:06] <opij> that you can set for a future date
[07:06] <abhi_nav> hello
[07:06] <MaRk-I> opij: evolution has calendar and alarm
[07:07] <Jordan_U> byerley: First, could you run this script http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/ and pastebin the RESULTS.txt ?
[07:07] <WXZ> gnome-schedule doesn't run recurrent tasks
[07:07] <WXZ> anyone else have a similar problem
[07:07] <Raptors> ok new prob lol.
[07:07] <Raptors> he see's the folders but the password box wont pop up
[07:08] <Raptors> So he can't access anything
[07:08] <Raptors> when he double clicks on the folders on my share
[07:08] <snuxoll> Raptors: this is where you use "Connect to Server" in the places menu
[07:08] <snuxoll> Raptors: allows you to specify a username/password instead of Guest/nil
[07:09] <WXZ> what happened to the little "/" in nautilus?
[07:09] <Raptors> There is no option for a password on connect to server
[07:09] <Raptors> for windows share
[07:09] <snuxoll> WXZ: eh?
[07:09] <WXZ> I upgraded to lynx from karmic
[07:09] <snuxoll> Raptors: yes there is
[07:09] <Raptors> No there isn't...
[07:09] <WXZ> nautilus is missing the button which changes the address bar from buttons to textfield
[07:10] <WXZ> and vice versa
[07:10] <maco> WXZ:  upstream GNOME removed it
[07:10] <Raptors> There is server, share, folder, user name, domain name, add bookmark bookmark name
[07:10] <snuxoll> WXZ: yes, they removed the pen icon
[07:10] <snuxoll> WXZ: just press ctrl+l
[07:10] <maco> WXZ: they have a tendency to remove things thinking users are stupid and are confused by everything
[07:10] <WXZ> can
[07:10] <snuxoll> Raptors: and, *USER NAME* is what now?
[07:10] <WXZ> :\
[07:10] <snuxoll> Raptors: it'll ask for the password upon connect
[07:10] <CkhiKuzad> I need some help, i want to install ubuntu 10.04 on my second partition, without a live anything. no livedisks or liveUSBs or updating. i want to know how to use the semi-automated install process from a cd's ISO to install it on my second hard drive from within this system.
[07:10] <Raptors> snuxoll, kk
[07:10] <maco> WXZ: upstream gnome = ubuntu devs didnt decide this, dont blame us ;-)
[07:10] <WXZ> anyway I can get the button back?
[07:11] <snuxoll> WXZ: nope
[07:11] <WXZ> D:
[07:11] <CkhiKuzad> i'm going to keep asking when it gets pushed offscreen D:
[07:11] <maco> WXZ: nope. just have to use ctrl+L
[07:11] <snuxoll> ctrl+l is easier anyway
[07:11] <WXZ> ok, well ctrl + L doesn't change it back to button mode maco
[07:11] <thames> Hello all.
[07:11] <maco> WXZ: it doesnt toggle? ew.... the view menu should have it, but it really should toggle as thats the shortcut for that checkmark in the view menu...
[07:11] <WXZ> nvm -.-
[07:12] <WXZ> if you just press enter, it switches back maco
[07:12] <maco> WXZ: ahh
[07:12] <WXZ> I liked my pen icon though...
[07:12] <snuxoll> I don't miss it
[07:12] <Jordan_U> CkhiKuzad: Could you please explain what you are trying to do, and why, more clearly? As far as I can tell you want to install Ubuntu but you don't have any boot media you can use except the disk you are installing to. Is that correct?
[07:12] <snuxoll> I only use location entry to get to some paths faster, but I should usually be working with those from at erminal anyway
[07:12] <scriptwarlock> !hi | thames
[07:13] <WXZ> but it's not like It was bothering anyone
[07:13] <WXZ> if there's a button, and you don't know what it does... don't use it :\
[07:13] <WXZ> unless you replace it with a better button, don't change it /end rant
[07:13] <Jordan_U> WXZ: We're not the ones you need to convince :)
[07:14] <snuxoll> I am, I don't care about the change, never even realized it
[07:14] <thames> Thanks. Ubuntu is my first venture into Linux. I've been a windows/mac user for most of my life and decided to make the leap.
[07:14] <CkhiKuzad> that is correct Jordan_U. my computer has an outdated bios, so no USB boot, and a broken CD drive, so no CD boot. i downloaded the 10.04 iso, and i have it mounted as a loop device. now i want to install it using the program that it uses to install it, that is in the ISO
[07:14] <byerley> Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/uCkeEF5Y
[07:14] <Jordan_U> CkhiKuzad: Do you have a GNU/Linux system installed currently to work from?
[07:15] <CkhiKuzad> jordan_u yes i do
[07:15] <jussi> CkhiKuzad: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux
[07:16] <Topy44> what is the correct way to get maximus to start on each login? (i installed it through apt, but i need to manually start it atm)
[07:16] <jussi> !autostart | Topy44
[07:17] <bnjmn> what's a good text editor for linux that's like TextMate or Notepad++?
[07:17] <mikem> hi, I notice on the Lucid live CD the volume control looks something like this: http://www.jonobacon.org/2010/07/13/sound-indicator/ (sans the currently playing track info). on my Lucid install, the sound control is just a vertical volume slider. anyone know how to change it to the horizontal one?
[07:17] <maco> bnjmn: umm might help if you say what features are you're looking for. all i know about those two is that they're graphical and able to have >1 file open at a time in one window thanks to tabs
[07:18] <Raptors> he said it was unable to connect :\
[07:18] <Raptors> I'll go and try to connect it myself later I guess
[07:18] <Jordan_U> byerley: You have a broken grub legacy installation (Auto Super GRUB Disk doesn't work with GRUB2, which is what Ubuntu uses as of 9.10).
[07:18] <maco> bnjmn: kate is quite nice, but its a kde app. can do split screens, syntax highlighting, you can set the tab size, set whether its tabs or spaces, etc...
[07:18] <maco> bnjmn: i use kde, so i dont mind it being a kde app ;-)
[07:18] <CkhiKuzad> jussi, that wont work for me. unetbootin seems to never work with ubuntu 10.04, like the kernels to boot are different
[07:19] <scriptwarlock> Raptors: recheck your shared folder if it was correctly configured for sharing..
[07:19] <maco> bnjmn: http://kate-editor.org/
[07:19] <jussi> CkhiKuzad: that doesnt use unetbootin
[07:19] <Jordan_U> byerley: I would install grub2 following this guide: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide
[07:20] <CkhiKuzad> yeah, it uses a technique i have used before, but failed, and it uses a whole bunch of CDs. something i can NOT use.
[07:20] <byerley> Jordan_U: Thanks, I'll give that a try
[07:20] <Jordan_U> byerley: You're welcome.
[07:20] <jussi> CkhiKuzad: what I linked to does not use any cd's, and does not use unetbootin. did you read it?
[07:21] <CkhiKuzad> yes i read it. jussi
[07:21] <Jordan_U> CkhiKuzad: You can setup GRUB2 to boot from the iso file, using the toram parameter to copy the CD into RAM (otherwise the installer will complain as you can't install to media you're booted from).
[07:22] <CkhiKuzad> Jordan_U, i cant copy the CD to ram, because its 700 some megs, and i only have a 512 meg hard drive.
[07:22] <jussi> yeah, that also, or the way I linked to where you create an extra partition and boot from there.
[07:22] <CkhiKuzad> and if you say upgrade, i am going to another server.
[07:22] <jussi> CkhiKuzad: 512 meg hd? and you want to install ubuntu?
[07:22] <CkhiKuzad> blarg
[07:22] <Jordan_U> CkhiKuzad: Then you'll need to use jussi's guide (which will work just fine).
[07:22] <CkhiKuzad> -.-
[07:22] <Topy44> ubottu: i know that method, but i wasnt sure this was the proper way to start a basic system tool like maximus, which should be started before any programs that might open windows
[07:22] <CkhiKuzad> i said it wrong
[07:23] <CkhiKuzad> not 512 meg hd, 512 megs ram.
[07:23] <jussi> Topy44: ahh, sorry
[07:23] <jussi> !bum | Topy44
[07:23] <gwern> out of curiosity, has anyone ever heard of a program to output all the text currently displayed in X11? this seems like it ouight to be possible to me. (the idea is to take periodic snapshots, but more searchable and smaller than just scads of PNG screenshots)
[07:23] <CkhiKuzad> Jordan_U, i cant copy the CD to ram, because its 700 some megs, and i only have 512 megs of RAM <-- fixed
[07:23] <Topy44> jussi: ok thanks, i'll try that
[07:23] <jussi> CkhiKuzad: yeah, so use the method I mentioned, create a new partition, put the cd there and boot from that, as the guide says
[07:24] <jagadish> Jordan_U, hi
[07:24] <K1ng> hey
[07:24] <Jordan_U> jagadish: Hi.
[07:24] <K1ng> volume icons is gone from panel
[07:24] <mikem> here's what I'm talking about: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/02/lucid-has-sexy-new-volume-indicator.html how do I get the indicator instead of the old version?
[07:24] <K1ng> how do i bring it back?
[07:25] <gwern> it seems to me that X11 must know what text is being displayed, what with fonts and whatnot, so that such a tool ought to be possible
[07:25] <gnewt58> !mp3
[07:25] <Jordan_U> mikem: Right click the pannel, add the "Indicator Applet".
[07:26] <apporc> you can add it .volume icon.
[07:26] <mikem> Jordan_U: ah there it is! thanks...
[07:26] <Jordan_U> mikem: You're welcome.
[07:27] <scriptwarlock> King: or restore our default panel
[07:28] <Jordan_U> gwern: While you are wrong about X11, most apps have long abandoned sending text to X and now use libraries like cairo, there are accessibility features that allow you to access text on the screen (usually for braille terminals / screen readers).
[07:28] <gwern> Jordan_U: oh. are those apps better than just taking a PNG and piping it into an OCR prog?
[07:29] <Jordan_U> gwern: Yes, much :)
[07:29] <Jordan_U> gwern: Though they are not really designed to be used the way I think you want to.
[07:29] <gwern> Jordan_U: well, I suppose I should look and see
[07:30] <gwern> Jordan_U: any specific apps come to mind?
[07:30] <gwern> (lot of potential search terms)
[07:30] <Jordan_U> gwern: Orca screen reader is included in Ubuntu by default.
[07:30] <nomad77>  /disconnect
[07:31] <MaRk-I> CkhiKuzad: this might work burning the image to usb:  dd if=ubuntu-blah.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=1M   <<<just make sure the USB is formated fat32 and is not mounted and X is the correct USB device
[07:31] <gwern> 'Orca helps provide access to applications and toolkits that support the AT-SPI (e.g., the GNOME desktop).' <-- I wonder how many programs I use don't support that...
[07:31] <CkhiKuzad> mark-i no! no! no! i am not using USB boot, i have said before my BIOS doesnt support it.
[07:31] <administrator__> ??
[07:31] <CkhiKuzad> i am doing the method on this web page.
[07:32] <MaRk-I> CkhiKuzad: you said "unetbooting doesnt seem to work for me"  anyways
[07:34] <Flomaster> I am getting a   runlevel = Unknown   I believe this is causing 2 of my init.d scrips not to auto start on bootup
[07:34] <WXZ> gnome-schedule doesn't run recurrent tasks... at all
[07:35] <Flomaster> WXZ: was that directed at me?
[07:35] <WXZ> no
[07:35] <CkhiKuzad> jussi, i need some help with this guide, it doesnt say where i am suppose to create these directories.
[07:36] <jussi> CkhiKuzad: where are you running into trouble? which directories?
[07:37] <CkhiKuzad>  sudo mount disk-image.iso -o loop /tmp/install_cd
[07:37] <CkhiKuzad>  sudo mount /dev/sda1 /tmp/installer
[07:37] <CkhiKuzad>  sudo rsync -a /tmp/install_cd/ /tmp/installer
[07:37] <CkhiKuzad>  && shut it floodbot.
[07:37] <FloodBot4> CkhiKuzad: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:37] <CkhiKuzad> i dont know exactly where those are supposed to be created.
[07:39] <jussi> CkhiKuzad: so you are changing the diskimage.iso for the path to your cdimage?
[07:39] <jussi> CkhiKuzad: as the guide says, you first need to create those dir's, then mount the partition into them, then copy the cd over with the rsync command
[07:40] <CkhiKuzad> jussi thats not what i asked, i want to know whether i put it in my "new" partition, or my "old one"
[07:40] <madrid> exists some program similar to autocad in linux? ..
[07:40] <jussi> !cad
[07:41] <jussi> madrid: for which use? 3d? 2d? electrical?
[07:41] <madrid> 3d
[07:41] <jussi> !info bcad
[07:41] <jussi> ahh, hang on
[07:41] <madrid> jussi is for jaunty
[07:42] <Flomaster> can I add a script from init.d  to my startup menu ?
[07:42] <CkhiKuzad> ...
[07:42] <jussi> CkhiKuzad: ?
[07:43] <CkhiKuzad> am i supposed to create these directories in my new partition, or old one?
[07:43] <jussi> CkhiKuzad: in your old one. you then mount the new partition into those directories.
[07:43] <CkhiKuzad> alright, thank you.
[07:43] <jussi> !info qcad jaunty
[07:43] <jussi> madrid: ^
[07:46] <kevix> hi folks. i installed lxde on lucid and my font for the lxde menus, for titles on windows is realllly small.
[07:46] <kevix> like 6pt.
[07:46] <bnjmn> what's a good text editor for linux that's like TextMate or Notepad++?
[07:46] <madrid> jussi Archimedes is good?
[07:46] <kevix> any clue for how to make them bigger
[07:46] <jussi> madrid: Ive not used it, sorry
[07:46] <jussi> kevix: try asking in #lubuntu
[07:46] <ActionParsnip> bnjmn: gedit can have nice plugins
[07:46] <bullgard4> Where is to be found  a detailed description of the GNOME_Settings_Daemon (gnome-settings-daemon)?
[07:46] <byerley> Jordan_U: I'm running into problems with grub-mkconfig because my device.map is empty. I'm having trouble finding anything on how to populate it.
[07:46] <kevix> jussi: oh. that could be useful, thanks
[07:47] <jussi> :)
[07:47] <ActionParsnip> kevix: look in the openbox settings. You xcan specify the size there afair
[07:47] <Jordan_U> byerley: grub-mkconfig should work fine without a device.map.
[07:48] <ActionParsnip> Kevix: you could also ask in #lxde
[07:48] <Jordan_U> byerley: grub-mkdevicemap is the command to create one, but what is the exact error you're getting from grub-mkconfig without one?
[07:49] <kevix> ActionParsnip: your first suggestions sounds promising. I am also in #lubuntu but will go #lxde if that does not do anything :)
[07:49] <ActionParsnip> Kevix: I'm on a bus now so have no access to my desktop right now
[07:50] <CkhiKuzad> ok jussi, i use grub2, is my configuration menu.lst, or grob.conf?
[07:50] <byerley> Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/VZVBNgPC is what I get from the command. It generate the file, but the install step fails which I attributed to the errors
[07:50] <CkhiKuzad> grub.conf**
[07:50] <kevix> ActionParsnip: no need to leave your bus or do anything dangerous :)
[07:50] <ActionParsnip> kevix: hehe
[07:50] <jussi> CkhiKuzad: read down a little more :D
[07:50] <jussi> With Grub2, the bootloader in new installations of 9.10, the procedure is a little different. You should edit the file /etc/grub.d/40_custom and add the lines
[07:51] <ActionParsnip> CkhiKuzad: fgrub.conf but you don't manually edit it
[07:51] <CkhiKuzad> alright, thanks
[07:51] <kevix> I do need to add more parsnips to my diet, I only have them in chicksoup currently
[07:51] <Jordan_U> byerley: Did you bind mount /dev and /proc as the instructions say to do?
[07:52] <byerley> Jordan_U: I was under the impression; proc seems to be empty so I'll try running through the steps again
[07:53] <rebirth> what is the standard method of updating software in ubuntu?
[07:53] <ActionParsnip> rebirth: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[07:53] <Jordan_U> rebirth: System > Administration > Update Manager
[07:54] <CkhiKuzad> jussi, since i have this as the installer, would it be a good idea to make a new partition from the remaining space on my installer partition, leaving the installer to have only enough for the CD contents, so i dont get the error?
[07:54] <zus> how do i unlock a folder? .wine>dosdevices>c:>winetrickstmp is got a lock icon and cant make a folder in there as per terminal output.
[07:54] <jagadish> scriptwarlock, hi how are you
[07:54] <scriptwarlock> jagadish: fine
[07:54] <jussi> CkhiKuzad: Im not sure. I havent actally completed the process before.
[07:54] <CkhiKuzad> well i will do that, because it seems like a good idea.
[07:54] <FrozenFire> Is there a command-line utility for managing AVI metadata?
[07:54] <ActionParsnip> Zus: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /home/$USER/.wine
[07:55] <jussi> CkhiKuzad: I need to disappear now - actually have to do some work. please keep reading the instructions and hopefully someone else can help if you run into issues.
[07:55] <zus> ActionParsnip,  thank you
[07:55] <CkhiKuzad> and if it fails, and i am stuck with a partition i am using, a big one that i want to install to, and a wiped installer one, i can just redo the process
[07:55] <CkhiKuzad> alright jussi, i am good for now.
[07:55] <rebirth> what if there is a newer version of a particular piece of software on the website that doesn't show up in the update manager?
[07:55] <jagadish> scriptwarlock, were were you... i was desperate to get some help yesterday...
[07:55] <ActionParsnip> Zus: it can happen if you run gui apps with sudo. Or use sudo -s
[07:56] <ActionParsnip> !ppa | rebirth
[07:56] <scriptwarlock> jagadish: sleeping.. whats the problem
[07:56] <red2kic> ActionParsnip: "USER=andrew ; sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /home/$USER/.wine" ? :)
[07:56] <zus> ActionParsnip,  what ya mean?
[07:56] <ActionParsnip> red2kic: USER is already set
[07:56] <jagadish> scriptwarlock, my nvidia card (that's not sorted leave it...) i removed it and i was trying to start compiz with my Intel 82845G
[07:57] <madrid> ome program similar to utocad and with a package debian for jaunty 9.04 ?.
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> Zus: those are 2 ways that ownership can be skewed and you get locked folders
[07:57] <madrid> some
[07:57] <red2kic> ActionParsnip: Yes yes. I was just saying... to override it. ;)
[07:57] <realubot> Willl this cron job execute my scriot using abc and def as $1 and $1: 15 05 * * * /home/myusername/script.sh abc def
[07:57] <zus> ActionParsnip,  oh.
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> red2kic: ahh, gotcha
[07:57] <realubot> *script
[07:57] <jagadish> scriptwarlock, and it gives a blacklist error The strangest thinng is my PCI ID is not listed in he hardware/blacklist section
[07:57] <MaRk-I> madrid: qcad
[07:57] <scriptwarlock> jagadish: have you talked to #compiz?
[07:58] <red2kic> realubot: The best way is to test it yourself. That's how I usually make sure my script works correctly then I adjusted the time.
[07:58] <jagadish> scriptwarlock, yeh i'm right now
[07:58] <realubot> red2kic: Yes, I will. :)
[07:58] <madrid> mark only is for 2D?
[07:58] <scriptwarlock> jagadish: ask a bleeding question to that compiz guys there.. :)
[07:58] <ActionParsnip> Realubot: you can use gnome-schedule if you want a cron gui
[07:58] <red2kic> realubot: You might want to put some kind of quotes on it too to treat the whole thing as one command.
[07:59] <jagadish> scriptwarlock, yeh i am...!!!!
[07:59] <Poisoned_Gold> i need some help with my system -_-'
[08:00] <ActionParsnip> !details | Poisoned_Gold
[08:00] <MaRk-I> madrid: no idea, might want to try "blender" for 3d
[08:02] <realubot> ActionParsnip: Thanks for the tip, but I want to learn to use the Terminal as UI as much as possible. I'm just wondering how I input environmental variables to a script using crontab -e to set the cron job.
[08:02] <ActionParsnip> !cron
[08:02] <Poisoned_Gold> I am using Ubuntu 10.04 - the Lucid Lynx and I extremely new to Linux so I don't know much about it. I have been using tutorials and how-to's but I cant seem to figure out how to turn off sleep mode or the screen saver
[08:02] <Poisoned_Gold> could someone point me in the right direction?
[08:03] <SirGrant> go to system --> preferences
[08:03] <SirGrant> and then screensaver
[08:03] <realubot> red2kic: Yes, I thinkI have seen this before, either use quotes or maybe, do someting like this: 15 04 * * * var1=abc, var2=def; /home/myuser/script.sh
[08:03] <ActionParsnip> Poisoned_Gold: well phrased uestion dude
[08:03] <Poisoned_Gold> Thanks SirGrant -_-
[08:03] <SirGrant> oh and then click "power management"
[08:03] <realubot> *var1=abc; var2=def;
[08:03] <SirGrant> and then you can turn off sleep mode
[08:03] <Poisoned_Gold> I cant believe I didnt see that
[08:03] <red2kic> realubot: Keep trying until you got that right. :)
[08:03] <ActionParsnip> Poisoned_Gold: look in the power options under system -> admin or system -> preferences
[08:04] <jhesketh_> Hi. In Lucid there is a new window in the live cd asking whether to try ubuntu or install. Clicking install launches ubiquity but I'm just wondering which program provides the welcome screen with the languages down the left?
[08:04] <red2kic> realubot: If you're going to pass in parameters, you could predefine the parameters in the script.
[08:04] <MaRk-I> madrid: what version of ubuntu you're using?
[08:05] <Poisoned_Gold> xD Thanks guys I cant believe I didn't see that xD
[08:05] <realubot> red2kic: Yes, I know, but I rather set them from the cron job. Well, I will have to think about how to get this working the best way.
[08:06] <realubot> red2kic: The problem is that I want to use the same script but with different values as variables each times.
[08:06] <realubot> *timme
[08:06] <red2kic> realubot: "/home/$USER/bin/script.sh CHICAGO ILLINOIS" -- Maybe?
[08:06] <byerley> Jordan_U: remounting proc and populating device.map did the trick; Thanks again for the help.
[08:06] <Jordan_U> byerley: You're welcome.

[08:06] <bullgard4> Where is to be found  a detailed description of the GNOME_Settings_Daemon (gnome-settings-daemon)?
[08:09] <apporc> Hi ,everyone.
[08:09] <red2kic> realubot: Cronjob is not for that. It runs the script at interval time. Maybe you can pass the global variables. Check with #bash to find what you're really looking for. :)
[08:09] <rocket16> Hello all,
[08:10] <JonCruz> so... did the project just change its name, or did someone deface wikipedia?  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28operating_system%29
[08:10] <rocket16> Can anyone kindly point me to a tutorial for building Python GUIs for Ubuntu using wxglade and wxpython?
[08:10] <apporc> Is there anyone who can tell that what does the directory name "etc" stand for?
[08:11] <miststlkr> hey all.  I seem to get an error almost every time i boot one of  my systems which says, among other things, "Target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init.
[08:11] <miststlkr> No init found. Try passing init= bootrag" and is "fixed" by booting to a liveCD and having gparted run a scan on the boot partition than rebooting.   could anyone say what might be causing this, or an easier/faster way to fix it when it does fconme up?
[08:11] <madrid> well blender and qcad  have been installed, thank you...
[08:11] <rocket16> apporc: See http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8601
[08:11] <chriswaterguy> hi folks... how does Linux Mint compared with regular Ubuntu for RAM usage?
[08:11] <madrid> mark thank you...
[08:12] <gim> Hi! I've created my own software repository after this manual https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Personal . Now I can use aptitude to install packages from it, but I get security messages complaining about unreliable packages. How can I make my rep reliable?
[08:14] <raptured> does anyone have a tutorial on implementing disk encryption on ubuntu ?
[08:14] <scarface94> @gim i don't know much about repos, but could it have something to do with PGP keys?
[08:14] <sjconroy> morning?
[08:15] <red2kic> chriswaterguy: Iirc, Linux Mint should be about same as Ubuntu with a different UI facelift. And we don't support Linux Mint here. :o
[08:15] <jagadish> scriptwarlock, hey will my video issues be solved if i go back to a earlier version of ubuntu
[08:15] <realubot> red2kic: Yeah, thanks. I'll have to check this out for some more time to get it working in a comfortable way.
[08:15] <zkriesse> !encryption
[08:15] <red2kic> raptured: Alternative Disk have disk encryption option for an installer.
[08:16] <scriptwarlock> jagadish: possibly on 9.04 if you have some budget buy a decent videocard which f course nvidia i personaly recommends... so you can enjoy the desktop effects itf thats what you are up to.
[08:16] <chriswaterguy> red2kic: thanks. (if i'd found the Mint channel, they could have said they don't support Ubuntu, so are you suggesting somewhere else to ask? :-P)
[08:16] <Q_Continuum> Hrm, can't get DVD playback on 10.04 even after installing restricted-extras and running the libdvdread4/install-css.sh script...
[08:16] <raptured> red2kic thx
[08:16] <red2kic> raptured: Or if you want to install encryption on external hard drive, you want cryptsetup. Also, a link. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EncryptedFilesystemsInstaller
[08:17] <jagadish> scriptwarlock, yeh...
[08:17] <gim> scarface94: Exactly, for example opera rep setup is described here -- http://deb.opera.com/ . Remains to understand how to create my key and how to subscribe packages
[08:17] <Q_Continuum> An error occurred Could not read from source.
[08:17] <red2kic> !mint | chriswaterguy
[08:17] <sjconroy> does anyone here have experience of swfdec or gnash?
[08:17] <red2kic> chriswaterguy: This is where Mint Channel can be found. If you're using Mint, you should refrain asking questions in here. :3
[08:17] <scriptwarlock> jagadish: vc ar enot really that expensive these days..
[08:18] <jagadish> scriptwarlock, yes i have to check out
[08:18] <raptured> so the normal installation disk does not have an option for disk encryption ?
[08:18] <chriswaterguy> red2kic: it was a comparison question between 2 distros including Ubuntu, and I'm not using Mint atm. I don't see the point of a heavy hand on a simple query.
[08:19] <chriswaterguy> red2kic: but you did answer, so thanks, and bye for now.
[08:19] <red2kic> raptured: This is what you probably look for -- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystems -- And no, normal liveCD does not have option for disk encryption.
[08:20] <scarface94> gim: I can't help you there, all I could do is make the suggestion. Sorry I can't be of more assistance. I've never set up my own repo before.
[08:20] <red2kic> raptured: If you're looking to do a full system encryption, you want alternative iso.
[08:20] <jagadish> scriptwarlock, if i'm stepping down which version u think would be good
[08:20] <akasha> hi, I've an Asus k50in laptop, yesterday installed lucid lynx on it using wibu, but the nvidia graphics does not work, and I had no net. So I decided to install using the alternative installer. Once it's ready, what should I do to get a proper desktop installation?
[08:21] <scriptwarlock> jagadish: 9.04
[08:21] <raptured> red thanks, i will check it out. Or maybe i will look at the truecrypt tutorials
[08:21] <gim> scarface94: thanks, I've found manual https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto and seems like it's what I want
[08:21] <Spyzer> is there any way to know my CPU's PLL through ubuntu ???
[08:21] <red2kic> raptured: If you only want to encrypt a different hard drive, you could install cryptsetup and figure out how to encrypt/partition the said hard drive. I'd prefer native linux cryptsetup over truecrypt. ;o
[08:21] <Spyzer> kindly tell
[08:22] <raptured> i will look into that too thx
[08:22] <james> I just updated my 10.04 but now it looks like i've got old style gtk
[08:22] <james> firefox looks super ugly
[08:22] <james> what should I do?
[08:22] <tuxx-> give it some make-up.
[08:22] <scriptwarlock> james: restart your machine
[08:23] <Guest65393> just did
[08:23] <scarface94> gim: ok, excellent. good luck!
[08:23] <gethoht> i prefer truecrypt because it's cross platform... i can read it from linux, mac or windows
[08:23] <jagadish> http://releases.ubuntu.com/jaunty/ is this the page where i get it
[08:23] <Guest65393> hah, I went to system -> pref -> appearance and it just fixed itself
[08:23] <scarface94> akasha: you may need to install proprietary drivers for your nvidia graphics card and wireless device.
[08:24] <biotin> hello guys :)
[08:24] <ejv> hello, im setting up kvm/qemu/libvirt and when i `virsh -c qemu:///system` it gives me the error: error: no connection driver available for qemu:///system ; I have sufficient write priveleges on /var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock (700), what am I doing wrong or missing? thank you. :)
[08:25] <ejv> !hello | biotin
[08:25] <ejv> :p
[08:26] <gim> scarface94: thanks!
[08:26] <love_> hi
[08:29] <akasha> scarface94: I've realised that, and I'm sure I'll manage to do it once I have a gnome up&running. the question is whether the alternate installer provides a GUI, or should I install ubuntu-desktop or something.
[08:30] <MaRk-I> akasha: gnome is ubuntu's desktop default
[08:32] <MaRk-I> akasha: why dont you use the regular livecd?
[08:33] <opij> !calendars
[08:33] <opij> !calendar
[08:33] <jagadish> scriptwarlock, transmission says operation failed
[08:33] <akasha> MaRk-I: because it does not work, the same graphics problem
[08:33] <scriptwarlock> james: needs stable internet connection when you download something...
[08:34] <MaRk-I> akasha: what graphics problem?
[08:34] <akasha> basically this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsWnozx8sn8
[08:34] <akasha> MaRk-I ^^
[08:34] <MaRk-I> checking
[08:35] <pizzle> Hello, I'm on Ubuntu 10.04. I disconnected a USB sata connection from a 1.5 TB drive on my system and replaced it with a 160 Gb drive without unmounting the first drive. The 160 Gb drive now shows the geometry and label of the 1.5 TB drive and cannot be read. I have tried testdisk and have not been able to get the drive to work properly yet. Any help?
[08:35] <scriptwarlock> james: or check more torrent sources for 9.04.
[08:36] <MaRk-I> akasha: what video card?
[08:36] <akasha> MaRk-I: nvidia gforce g102m
[08:37] <jagadish> scriptwarlock, ok man... i'll catch up later...
[08:37] <jagadish> scriptwarlock, thanks a ton
[08:37] <MaRk-I> akasha: try this, there's instructions to start the livecd and what to edit after installing http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2010/05/06/ubuntu-10-04-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup-workaround/
[08:37] <Loshki> pizzle: are you saying you hotswapped the disks, without even unmounting first?
[08:37] <pizzle> loshki: yea
[08:37] <bullgard4> Where is to be found  a detailed description of the GNOME_Settings_Daemon (gnome-settings-daemon)?
[08:38] <ResQue> hello people
[08:38] <Loshki> pizzle: have you rebooted since you swapped the disks?
[08:39] <pizzle> Loshki: yes several times
[08:39] <bullgard4> pizzle: Use the umount command.
[08:40] <pizzle> bullgard4: I neglected to use the umount and now have the wrong geometry and label on one of the drives. I'm trying to see if I can get that fixed or if I've just lost my data
[08:41] <MaRk-I> akasha: did you get it?
[08:41] <Jordan_U> akasha: MaRk-I: I don't think that guide will help as it's specific to intel graphics, not nvidia.
[08:43] <Loshki> pizzle: I don't suppose you have any record of the partition scheme on the 160GB disk e.g. the output of 'fdisk -l' from before it got corrupted?
[08:43] <erUSUL> pizzle: remounting replugging the disk does not help ?
[08:43] <Jordan_U> akasha: Press any key early in the LiveCD boot and you will get a boot menu.  However i have another drive that is the exact same model, size etc. It happens to be my primary drive on the computer being used
[08:44] <Jordan_U> MaRk-I: Ahh, sorry, I should have looked at the complete guide rather than skimming.
[08:44] <zus> how do  i unlock these folders and get winetricks to open so i can install the bs that i need to run rutting games?
[08:44] <pizzle> erUSUL: remounting replugging the disk works for the 1st drive. the 2nd drive shows the same geometry and label as the 1st drive however
[08:44] <vikas> i am running a compaq laptop and my cpu temp is upto 65deg Celsius
[08:44] <zus> seriously some one in here has runes of magic and wow and maybe starwars galaxy....
[08:44] <vikas> is that okay ?
[08:44] <MaRk-I> Jordan_U: np, the generic part I think goes for ati
[08:45] <erUSUL> pizzle: there is no way i know off a kernel modifies label or geometry or partition table of a disk you have to use specialized tools for that ...
[08:46] <erUSUL> zus: checked appdb ?
[08:46] <pizzle> erUSUL: is there anything I can do in a terminal window to get some outputs to figure out exactly what's going on then?
[08:46] <zus> erUSUL,  no  what is that?
[08:46] <erUSUL> !appdb | zus
[08:47] <Loshki> pizzle: you could copy the *geometry* from the primary to the 160GB disk, but you'll still be lacking the *partition table*. If you had the latter, you stand a good chance of recovering all your data....
[08:47] <erUSUL> pizzle: sudo fdisk -l ; sudo parted /dev/sdx print ;
[08:47] <zus> erUSUL,  the wine site read i didnt need winetricks  but  everything i read says i do, i cant sh winetricks etc now folders are locking  left and right in my.wine
[08:48] <zus> erUSUL,  as it turns out, i have the page open in my browser i didnt know that was appdb
[08:49] <pizzle> where do I paste my results?
[08:50] <erUSUL> zus: chmod -R 755 ~/.wine/
[08:50] <aneesh1> pizzle: use this
[08:50] <erUSUL> !paste | pizzle
[08:50] <aneesh1> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com
[08:51] <pizzle> aneesh1: ty
[08:51] <zus> now i get opperation not permitted
[08:51] <zus> brb
[08:51] <pizzle> erUSUL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/462874/
[08:52] <erUSUL> zus: did you run wine or wine cfg or something like that with "sudo" ? or "gksudo" ?
[08:52] <zus> no
[08:52] <ecolitan> !love
[08:52] <zus> wine config  i got to it thourgh the menus
[08:54] <erUSUL> pizzle: /dev/sdx was to be replaced with the correct disk device ...
[08:54] <aneesh1> pizzle: it should be sudo parted /dev/sdb1 print ;
[08:54] <zus> i have runes of magic installed were i to rename my .wine will it recreate it again clean or will the game need to be reinstalled?
[08:55] <erUSUL> zus: it would have to be reinstalled
[08:55] <pizzle> erUSUL: I referenced the wrong drive... here's the new output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/462876/
[08:55] <erUSUL> zus: check the owner and permission of the files you see locked
[08:55] <pizzle> erUSUL: actually shouldnt it be sdb?
[08:56] <erUSUL> pizzle: yes; aneesh1 said sdb1
[08:56] <zus> says group root
[08:56] <rebirth> is there a wine channel?
[08:56] <sap> hello; i'm trying to install a ubuntu from usb stick (configured with unetbootin). it boots but when trying to detect the dvd/cd sources, it fails. any ideas how to link the usb to cd?
[08:56] <erUSUL> rebirth: #winehq
[08:57] <MaRk-I> sap the usb is the cd source
[08:57] <erUSUL> pizzle: and the problem is that sdb is actually a 1.5 TiB disk ???
[08:58] <sap> MaRk-I, but why does it still not recognize the device? it boots from it, so the usb should be fine?!
[08:58] <Jordan_U> pizzle: That output looks fine. What problem are you actually having?
[08:59] <pizzle> erUSUL: no it's actually showing the correct size in this output. However when I try to access the drive I cannot. I cannot mount the drive in disk utility as well. The label is supposed to be bizzle but shows up as bajizzle which is the 1.5 TB drive
[08:59] <MaRk-I> sap: did you check the md5sum of the iso?
[08:59] <ssn> hi guys
[08:59] <pizzle> I'm not able to access the drive to view the contents.. I'm sure it's something simple that I just don't know how to do
[08:59] <erUSUL> pizzle: what is the error when you try to mount ?
[08:59] <sap> MaRk-I, not yet, will do right now, just a sec
[08:59] <ssn> does anyone know where to find the default gdm theme in a lubuntu installation (tried the lubuntu channel, but no one did respond)
[09:00] <Jordan_U> pizzle: First, have you rebooted since you swapped drives?
[09:00] <zus> rebirth,  good luck in the channel - prolly on holliday or the most anti-social bunch i've seen all weekend!
[09:00]  * zus is dealing with wine  issues all week.
[09:01] <Jordan_U> zus: Can you pastebin the output of "ls -l .wine/" ?
[09:01] <pizzle> Jorday_U: yes I have several times
[09:02] <pizzle> erUSUL: error msg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/462879/
[09:02] <zus> Jordan_U,  yeah one sec to get it please
[09:02] <erUSUL> pizzle: "dmesg | tail" to see the details please ...
[09:03] <sap> MaRk-I, hash is good.
[09:03] <Morfio>
[09:03] <pizzle> erUSUL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/462880/
[09:04] <MaRk-I> sap: hhmm then should be fine, odd
[09:05] <pizzle> erUSUL: that's the output that had me thinking I had the incorrect geometry for the drive
[09:05] <zus> Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/UqunkhDN
[09:05] <hjst> I'm trying to install Sun's Java JRE on 10.04 using this link for info - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - it says to enable the universe repo and search for the sun-java6-jre package, but when I do I find nothing
[09:05] <sap> I have a dvd rom and dvd writer in the computer; could that be the problem? i just wanted to install from usb anyways...its easier for me
[09:06] <erUSUL> pizzle: maybe you just need to fsck the partition ? seems that the ext4 fs there may be corrupt
[09:06] <pizzle> erUSUL: how would I do that?
[09:06] <erUSUL> hjst: in lucid that package is in the partners repo
[09:07] <Jordan_U> zus: Can you also pastebin the output of "ls -l .wine/dosdevices" /
[09:07] <erUSUL> pizzle: gparted can fsck partitions or you can use e2fsck from command line
[09:07] <hjst> erUSUL: aha, thank you
[09:07] <erUSUL> !java > hjst
[09:08] <zus> in terminal i get No such file or direcory
[09:08] <hjst> sweet, thanks again erUSUL
[09:09] <pizzle> erUSL: I'm in gparted right now and have the sdb1 drive up on the screen but do not find any options to fsck
[09:09] <zus> w8
[09:09] <erUSUL> pizzle: right click on the partition. it should be something like check for errors ...
[09:10] <kraut> moin
[09:10] <pizzle> erUSL: options which are avail are (delete, format to, manage flags, information)
[09:10] <pizzle> erUSUL: check is greyed out
[09:11] <zus> Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/Ezt4gpsb
[09:11] <erUSUL> pizzle: make sure you are in the correct disk and also make sure it is umounted
[09:11] <Jordan_U> zus: Have you been running winetricks with sudo?
[09:11] <erUSUL> pizzle: the option is "Check"
[09:12] <erUSUL> !tab | pizzle
[09:12] <zus> Jordan_U,  sh winetricks or chmod 755 for winetricks to open up
[09:13] <zus> Jordan_U,  it cant make a folder in  the /.wine>dosdevices/winetrickstmp  the folder was locked.... then the  a: got locked too
[09:13] <Jordan_U> zus: Have you been running winetricks with sudo?
[09:14] <pizzle> erUSUL, umount: /dev/sdb is not mounted (according to mtab) and I'm accessing the /dev/sdb drive in gparted
[09:14] <erUSUL> pizzle: you should be checking sdb1 ...
[09:15] <zus> Jordan_U,  not that i know of no
[09:15] <pizzle> erUSUL, I only have the option for sdb and sda in gparted
[09:15] <Jordan_U> zus: Well someone has...
[09:16] <pizzle> erUSUL, /dev/sdb1 shows 149.05 GB (correct size) and label Bajizzle (the improper one)
[09:16] <erUSUL> pizzle: but when you choose sdb in the drop down menu in the righ you see a partition in the graphic area? right click n that partition
[09:16] <erUSUL> pizzle: you have to check the partition
[09:16] <zus> Jordan_U,  well can i unlock the two files or and have the winetricks open up then?
[09:16] <zus> Jordan_U,  how can i fix this?
[09:17] <pizzle> erUSUL, Actually you are correct, the graphic shows /dev/sdb1 but when I right click it I am still unable to check... umount: /dev/sdb1 is not mounted (according to mtab)
[09:17] <bullgard4> Where is a stylesheet for /usr/share/gconf/schemas/gdm-single-greeter.schemas?
[09:17] <Jordan_U> zus: run "sudo chown -R zus:zus .wine/" and in the future don't use sudo unless you're specifically told to.
[09:18] <erUSUL> pizzle: check is grayed out ?
[09:18] <pizzle> erUSUL, yes check is still greyed out
[09:18] <erUSUL> pizzle: grep sdb /proc/mounts
[09:20] <Jordan_U> erUSUL: It could have been mounted through /dev/disk/by-uuid/ also (which would mean that grep might miss it)

[09:35] <marblecakealsoth> #azmazm
[09:35] <marblecakealsoth> hi
[09:35] <erUSUL> pizzle: use sudo
[09:37] <pizzle> erUSUL, sorry my mistake. Used sudo and got this output http://paste.ubuntu.com/462891/
[09:37] <erUSUL> pizzle: so is the partition table... use testdisk
[09:38] <erUSUL> pizzle: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step
[09:38] <pizzle> I've used testdisk prior but it didnt seem to fix it. I can try it again
[09:40] <rebirth> i'm in the process of updating to 10.04 and it's asking me about GRUB and i have no idea what to do
[09:40] <Dr_Willis> rebirth:  grub normally goes on the mbr of the hard drive. /dev/sda
[09:40] <Dr_Willis> rebirth:  what specifically is it asking?
[09:40] <erUSUL> pizzle: we can try with other superblock backups ...
[09:41] <erUSUL> pizzle: do --> sudo mke2fs -n /dev/sdb1
[09:41] <rebirth> it wants me to select which devices i want grub-install to be automatically run for
[09:41] <pizzle> erUSUL, that might be better. testdisk isnt getting me anywhere
[09:42] <IronChef> how can I enable root login?
[09:42] <Illuminatus> hi
[09:42] <Dr_Willis> IronChef:  use sudo as needed to do 'root' tasks
[09:42] <pizzle> erUSUL, http://paste.ubuntu.com/462892/
[09:42] <Illuminatus> to access via rdp (terminal server) from windows to ubuntu ?
[09:42] <IronChef> Dr_Willis: I need to login to gnome as root
[09:42] <Dr_Willis> IronChef:  You dont want to directly login as root. "sudo -s' to get a root shell.
[09:42] <erUSUL> IronChef: ubuntu does not use root account and we do not support enabling it
[09:42] <Dr_Willis> IronChef:  I doubt very much that you actually 'need' to do that
[09:43] <rebirth> Dr_Willis: there are several options beginning dev/sda
[09:43] <IronChef> i'm a professional linux sysadmin for a fortune 100 company! I NEED IT :-)
[09:43] <Dr_Willis> IronChef:  if you 'must'  then go to the console. stop the gdm service. than use  'sudo -s' to get to root terminal. and try 'startx'   I imagine you will break you system with this 'habbit'
[09:43] <erUSUL> pizzle: now try  « sudo e2fsck -b <number> -y /dev/sdb1 » with the numbers printed there... we already used the first one 32768
[09:43] <apapa> hi guys I have a multi-partitioned drive sda1,4,3 & 2 (in that order). sda3 is an extended partition housing ubuntu lucid, sda3 is an ntfs partition that I use to store data in general(for compatibility with winxp), sda2 is my OEM recovery partition and sda1 is an ntfs partition that I want to install win xp on. When I try to boot up from the win xp cd it says "setup is loading hardware configuration..." and it just sits idle;  is this because of my partitioni
[09:44] <erUSUL> pizzle: the next is 98304
[09:44] <Dr_Willis> rebirth:  you want /dev/sda   NOT /dev/sda1 or any other #
[09:44] <rebirth> and not dev/sdc?
[09:44] <apapa> *sorry sda4 houses ubuntu not sda3
[09:44] <IronChef> erUSUL: so can you please tell me where it's disabled?
[09:45] <apapa> can somebody help me?
[09:45] <erUSUL> !root
[09:45] <erUSUL> apapa: ##windows can help with windowsXP issues
[09:46] <St0n3-C0l> IronChef : Try out sudo su
[09:46] <St0n3-C0l> That will get you root.
[09:46] <IronChef> yeah that's great, but if i login then my home dir gets unencrypted, and gconf starts writing, i don't know how many of you have tried to repair a broken gconf but it's rotten difficult!
[09:46] <IronChef> sudo su -
[09:46] <ikonia> IronChef: please don't suggest that
[09:46] <Dr_Willis> St0n3-C0l:  more proper way is 'sudo -s' not 'sudo su' :)
[09:47] <St0n3-C0l> Not here...btw is it normal to have Xorg occupying 20-30% of your CPU usage when Firefox is loading up certain pages, even on one tab..my Xorg has at a point reached 40%
[09:47] <ikonia> IronChef: check out "sudo" as a tool with sudo -s and sudo -i for the right options
[09:47] <IronChef> does the ubuntu community ever worry it's making linux a bit too cuddly?!?
[09:47] <zus> Jordan_U,  thank you
[09:47] <St0n3-C0l> Ok Dr_Willis.
[09:47] <St0n3-C0l> Thanks
[09:47] <zus>  thank you all.
[09:47] <Dr_Willis> IronChef:  No we dont worry about stuff liike that at all.
[09:47] <IronChef> lol
[09:48] <pizzle> erUSUL, would you believe it if I told you none of the numbers worked?
[09:48]  * IronChef considers going back to opensuse
[09:48] <zus> Jordan_U,  is there a way to get the other two folders unlocked as well?, im sure they werent locked before the a: and z: in dosdevices
[09:48] <IronChef> i get laughed at at work when the other *nix admins find out my lappy can't do root when i want!
[09:48] <erUSUL> pizzle: well i would believe anything.
[09:48] <Dr_Willis> IronChef:  feel free to do what you want. Thats the linux way.
[09:48] <erUSUL> IronChef: it can. « sudo -i »
[09:48] <pizzle> erUSUL, so what now?
[09:48] <Dr_Willis> IronChef:  You just need tolearn the ways to do it.  I have no admin issues at all with ubuntu.
[09:48] <Jordan_U> zus: That command should have "unlocked" them all.
[09:49] <rebirth> cuddly? wtf does that mean?
[09:49] <IronChef> simple, for this particular task i need to login as root
[09:49] <Dr_Willis> Bad habbits on their part. do not prove its a ubuntu 'problem'
[09:49] <ikonia> IronChef: it can do root when you want it, and it's not hard to unlock the root account if you really feel strong about it
[09:49] <zus> Jordan_U,  it didnt, BUT it unlocked the winetrickstmp and got the sh winetricks working,....
[09:49] <Dr_Willis> IronChef:  i allready mentioned the console and 'sudo -s' and 'startx'
[09:49] <IronChef> oh poppycock, who has time to type 'sudo' in front of every command all day!? :-)
[09:49] <St0n3-C0l> Guys..
[09:49] <St0n3-C0l> is it normal to have Xorg occupying 20-30% of your CPU usage when Firefox is loading up certain pages, even on one tab..my Xorg has at a point reached 40%
[09:49] <ikonia> IronChef: however Unix administrators will laugh at you more for doing sudo su - than for unlocking the root aaccount
[09:50] <consit> could anybody help me about activating screensaver in GDM mode
[09:50] <ikonia> IronChef: you don't have to, unlock the root account properly then
[09:50] <Dr_Willis> IronChef:  who is spending all day configuring a system? get it configured.. and let the users get to work.
[09:50] <ikonia> IronChef: or switch to a root user shell "properly"
[09:50] <erUSUL> pizzle: i'm afraid this is beyond my knowledge amybe there is something to be done via "debugfs" but you will have to ask the ext4 devs or someone wiser
[09:50] <IronChef> i run over 200 nix servers, i spend all day as root - and i love it lol
[09:50] <Jordan_U> IronChef: If I found out that one of my sysadmins was running gnome as root, even on their own computer, they likely wouldn't last very long...
[09:50] <Dr_Willis> IronChef:  i peronally find that statment hard to belive.
[09:50] <IronChef> i don't break things, because i think very carefully before hitting <enter>
[09:51] <ikonia> IronChef: yet you've just had to ask in ##linux how you login as root
[09:51] <ikonia> IronChef: can't be that good
[09:51] <pizzle> erUSUL, how would I get in contact with them? are they in this room or do I have to go somewhere else?
[09:51]  * MaRk-I keep feeding the troll, is amusing
[09:51] <Dr_Willis> ikonia:  :)  its like a 'test' of skills'
[09:51] <darth10> Dr_Willis, IronChef is mostly an admin in a lab or something. nothing unbelievable about it
[09:51] <IronChef> i'm not actually trolling, i just want to know how to enable the root account in gnome, then i'll happily go back to what i was doing
[09:51] <erUSUL> pizzle: maybe a mailing list... if they use irc i do not where sorry.
[09:51] <Dr_Willis> darth10:  ok. Not in the 'real world' then. :)
[09:51] <ikonia> IronChef: the guys in ##linux told you
[09:51] <ikonia> IronChef: it's also well documented
[09:52] <ikonia> IronChef: however, you'll need to unlock the root aaccount onteh system first
[09:52] <pizzle> erUSUL, ty for all the help and time
[09:52] <Dr_Willis> GDM also prevents root from directly logging in. I recall.
[09:52] <ikonia> Dr_Willis: correct, which is why enabling root in either without the other is pointless
[09:53] <erUSUL> pizzle: no problem
[09:53]  * Dr_Willis changes his root users theme/colors to be bright red. so any apps running as root.. get a real real bright warning/colors. :)
[09:54] <IronChef> and fwiw i totally agree with locking users out of a root login, lest they run xchat as root etc, but that's not my situation, it's no lie, i do this all day for a living :-)
[09:54] <Jordan_U> IronChef: You realize that it isn't just a matter of being "carefull", Gnome was not meant to be bulletproof and running millions of lines of GUI code as root is a huge security risk.
[09:55] <ShapeShifter499> hi
[09:55] <consit> as I understand GDM is nobody login session, and I find how to change background, but I wabt to put screensaver when nobody is log. I put slideshow in GDM mode in same way as background but is minimized and I want to maximize
[09:55] <IronChef> Jordan_U: sure, but i just need to take a system snapshot, then i'll log right out again :-)
[09:55] <Jordan_U> IronChef: Why do you need to run Gnome as root to "take a system snapshot"?
[09:55] <ikonia> IronChef: you shouldn't be running the system if your taking a snapshot
[09:56] <ikonia> IronChef: you should be doing that from single user mode to minimise in use and locked files
[09:56]  * Dr_Willis wonders what system 'snapshot' even means
[09:56] <ikonia> normally an "image" of some sort of the box
[09:56] <Jordan_U> Dr_Willis: That's why I put it in quotes :)
[09:56]  * IronChef means "of my encrypted home dir"
[09:57] <ikonia> IronChef: again - you don't need to be root for that
[09:57] <ikonia> IronChef: you're making a poor argument for logging into a desktop environment as root
[09:57] <Dr_Willis> root user has an encrypted home dir?
[09:57] <ikonia> Dr_Willis: I'm guessing someone else, which is why he wants to do it as s root
[09:57] <IronChef> i'm windering if anyone here actually knows the answer...
[09:57] <IronChef> wondering also
[09:57] <ikonia> IronChef: I've told you the answer
 IronChef: however, you'll need to unlock the root aaccount onteh system first
[09:58] <ikonia> IronChef: I wonder if you actually fully understand what you're doing logging into a desktop environment as root to backup a home directory ?
[09:58]  * Dr_Willis isent clear on the probpelm. if you want to backup /home/* then you should be doing it from single user mode/recovery mode
[09:58] <zus> Jordan_U,  what do i do then to remove the lock from them two folders? i dont know why the command didnt unlock them.
[09:58] <IronChef> oh ffs i'm going back to suse, this is childish
[09:58] <ikonia> IronChef: yes, so you need to change gdm config to ALLOWROOT login, but you'll also need to unlock the system root account as the ubuntu root account actually has no password by default as it's locked
[09:59]  * Dr_Willis wonders what tool in X is being used to snapshot stuff.
[09:59] <IronChef> ikonia: many thanks :-)
[09:59] <Jordan_U> IronChef: Who is your employer? I'd like to warn them about you...
[09:59] <ikonia> uncalled for
[09:59] <IronChef> Jordan_U: oh grow up
[09:59] <ShapeShifter499> I'm trying to compile and use a linux ethernet driver and the "make install" keeps spitting out "CFLAGS was changed /home/lance/Downloads/e100-3.5.17/src/Makefile  .   Fix it to use EXTRA_CFLAGS"   how do I fix this
[09:59] <Jordan_U> IronChef: Sorry.
[10:01] <blinkiz> Hi. I would like to bring up a vlan without setting a ip address in interfaces file. Same time I would like to set a custom hardware (mac) address. "iface eth1.231 static, address <IP_ADDRESS>, netmask <IP_ADDRESS>, hwaddr ether 00:19:5B:FD:28:00". This line does not work. How should I modify it?
[10:02] <IronChef> Jordan_U: cool
[10:02] <consit> Please help about screensaver or slideshow in GDM - how to put screensaver in GDM in Ubuntu 10.04
[10:02] <Dr_Willis>  /filter add joinquit * irc_join,irc_part,irc_quit *
[10:03] <IronChef> consit: it's called 'pictures' i think
[10:03] <IronChef> pictures folder in fact
[10:03] <consit> Yes, but I want to put in mode GDM when nobody is logged
[10:04] <ddavids> how do i delete my primary user and transfer admin rights to the new user?
[10:05] <consit> I find to change baskground (splash), and on some way I put slideshow bu window is minimized, and I want to maximize or to put real screensaver
[10:05] <IronChef> consit: ah, it's something to do with the gdm user sccount i think...
[10:06] <ndo> hi guys how do i list hard drives connected
[10:06] <sap> Does anyone here use ubuntu with a microsoft exchange alternative? like scalix, openxchange or something like that? I'm looking for something that works with MS outlook and supports shared inboxes, shared contacts and calenders
[10:06] <IronChef> ndo: df -h
[10:06] <IronChef> or fdisk -l
[10:06] <ikonia> IronChef: df will only show mounted devices, not connected
[10:07] <IronChef> yep then fdisk -l :-)
[10:07] <IronChef> ikonia: enable root login is no longer in gdmsetup...
[10:07] <consit> yes but I can't find how to activate GDM user account. I copy in LoginWindow cosmos-slideshow.desktop and I activate slideshow
[10:07] <ikonia> IronChef: that's a drag, you should be able to force it in the config file
[10:07] <MegaHerz> hi all
[10:08] <katan_> how can I change directory to my cdrom in ubuntu ?
[10:08] <ikonia> katan_: cd /cdrom
[10:08] <marblecakealsoth> cd /cdrom
[10:08] <ndo> IronChef: actually i want to dd disk to disk
[10:08] <marblecakealsoth> beat me to it
[10:09] <MegaHerz> Ubuntu is very slow here, and I was trying to understand the reason. I ran gnome system monitory but it eats 60-80% of my CPU itself! wtf?
[10:09] <marblecakealsoth> hmm
[10:09] <marblecakealsoth> switch back to windows
[10:09] <katan_> ikonia: thanks
[10:09] <marblecakealsoth> ubuntu doesnt like you
[10:09] <MegaHerz> marblecakealsoth: ignored
[10:09] <ikonia> MegaHerz: stop that now
[10:09] <ikonia> MegaHerz: sorry - not yo
[10:09] <ikonia> you
[10:09] <MegaHerz> ikonia: kk
[10:09] <ndo> IronChef: if i do df -h i dont see sda sdb or something
[10:10] <ikonia> marblecakealsoth: don't do that again
[10:10] <liuzhixing> so quite
[10:10] <marblecakealsoth> switch back to windows ubuntu doesnt like you\
[10:10] <marblecakealsoth> did it again
[10:10] <NeverCast> AHahaha.
[10:10] <consit> Is it possible to put maximized window while open f-spot - this could solve problem, but I don't know how to do it by default
[10:10] <ikonia> IronChef: try AllowRoot=true in your gdm custom.conf
[10:10] <metaltux> hello. how do I activate ip forwarding on an ethernet interface on ubuntu 6.06?
[10:10] <MegaHerz> I wonder why gnome-system-monitor is eating CPU so much, so this is my question. Maybe something goes wrong?
[10:11] <katan_> ikonia: if my exe file contains a windows virus, would it affect my ubuntu system under wine ?
[10:11] <ikonia> IronChef: not %100 sure if custom.conf is the right place now that gdm.conf has been split out
[10:11] <NeverCast> katan_, Yes
[10:11] <NeverCast> katan_, well. not in the same way
[10:11] <ikonia> katan_: very doubtful, unless it does something like fireup an smtp server and mail out people,
[10:11] <genux> lo after looking at this bug..
[10:11] <NeverCast> katan_, It could probably delete user files
[10:11] <genux> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/604702
[10:11] <NeverCast> katan_, but I doubt it would do much.
[10:11] <ikonia> NeverCast: not on the ubuntu operating system it can't
[10:11] <scriptwarlock> MegaHerz: open your system monitor and observe what services eats your system resources
[10:12] <IronChef> gdm-ccd.conf by the looks of things ikonia
[10:12] <NeverCast> ikonia, Like i said, to an extent.
[10:12] <genux> I can view the website fine.. webdiplomacy.net, is there anything else to check ?
[10:12] <metaltux> anyone?
[10:12] <NeverCast> ikonia, I would imagine it couldn't do much 'infection' or 'run on startup', and of that crap.
[10:12] <liuzhixing> which language could be used there?
[10:12] <katan_> ikonia: NeverCast it is infected by this virus : http://www.securelist.com/en/descriptions/old70306
[10:13] <katan_> ikonia: NeverCast it uses Iexplorer, so it shouldn't do anything ?
[10:13] <scriptwarlock> MegaHerz: you never introduce your machines specs also....
[10:13] <acee12345> how do i give a program permission to bind ports without invoking sudo?
[10:13] <NeverCast> katan_, That's what the message says it does, doesn't mean it uses internet explorer.
[10:13] <ikonia> acee12345: what progam ?
[10:13] <acee12345> znc
[10:14] <ikonia> acee12345: you shouldn't need root for that
[10:14] <MegaHerz> scriptwarlock: gnome-system-monitor is eating ~60%. Then VirtualBox goes with ~15%. Interactivity almost lost in g-s-m, and I have to kill the app to close it. It is notebook, Acer 5930G with
[10:14] <MegaHerz> Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     P7350  @ 2.00GHz
[10:14] <acee12345> ikonia without it i get "unable to bind [permission denied]"
[10:15] <ikonia> acee12345: bind to what ?
[10:15] <acee12345> ikonia port 665(arbitrary)
[10:15] <katan_> NeverCast: ikonia so it would affect the system only when I run wine right ? If I have wine installed and installed the app containing the virus. Would i affect only when wine is run ?
[10:15] <scriptwarlock> MegaHerz: thats impossible for gnome-system-monitor to eat your system there shoud be anything that eats... your specs is more than enough to run ubuntu
[10:16] <Lumee> hi, how can I install kde on ubuntu without lose my ubuntu splash screen during loading at booting time? I dont want the kubuntu splash screen
[10:16] <ikonia> acee12345: is anything else already using that
[10:16] <NeverCast> katan_, It wouldn't 'infect' anything I don't believe.
[10:16] <acee12345> ikonia dont think so. got a way to check?
[10:16] <scriptwarlock> MegaHerz: ok type "top" in your terminal to see those things
[10:16] <Guest53946> ubuntu 10.04 sometimes not boot from grub - randomly
[10:17] <Guest53946> in both i386 and AMD64 versions
[10:17] <katan_> NeverCast: so it must be safe then :)
[10:17] <NeverCast> katan_, just don't run it :P
[10:17] <NeverCast> katan_, best way to be sure :P
[10:17] <scriptwarlock> MegaHerz: and then start kill -9 (proc) whatever causes your sytem to peak...
[10:18] <katan_> NeverCast: ok :)
[10:19] <naomi_alpha> i have 8.04 i386, 10.04 i386 64 bit on one machine
[10:19] <naomi_alpha> sometimes the 10.04's wont boot
[10:19] <naomi_alpha> why??
[10:19] <MegaHerz> scriptwarlock: http://www.onlinedisk.ru/view/475813 http://www.onlinedisk.ru/view/475815 etc
[10:19] <Dr_Willis_> naomi_alpha:  how old a machine?
[10:19] <naomi_alpha> about 2008
[10:20] <naomi_alpha> amd64x2
[10:20] <MegaHerz> scriptwarlock: ok, let me play with top (htop I think is more handy)
[10:20] <Dr_Willis_> Lumee:  you can always reset the splash screen back to whatever one you want.
[10:20] <Dr_Willis_> Lumee:  its not like the splash screen is a 'mission critucal' part of the OS.
[10:20] <scriptwarlock> MegaHerz: id rather recommend htop
[10:21] <naomi_alpha> oh, and having active synaptic and loading nvidia driver at the same time gives error in nv driver installation
[10:21] <katal_> NeverCast: Is there a firewall for ubuntu like ZoneAlarm for windows ?
[10:21] <MegaHerz> scriptwarlock: is there a tool to measure cumulative cpu expenses per app?
[10:21] <Dr_Willis_> !firewall | katal_
[10:21] <acee12345> ikonia "netstat -anp --tcp --udp | grep LISTEN" reports only 631 open
[10:22] <Dr_Willis_> katal_:  firewalling in Linux is very different then how firewslls work in windows.
[10:22] <MegaHerz> scriptwarlock: because there not much info when I view like processes jump up and down )
[10:22] <NeverCast> katal_, Ip tables.
[10:22] <consit> IronChef: I can't find gdm-ccd.conf in Ubuntu 10.04 to manage gdm
[10:23] <Misterio> Talking about firewalls. I am via router, do I need firewall enabled?
[10:23] <scriptwarlock> MegaHerz: start killing goole chrome, inkscape... whatever that is not neccessary to run now
[10:25] <Dr_Willis_> Misterio:  i dont bother with one, to be honest with you. Unless you are running some services or somthing. I dont see the need.
[10:25] <scriptwarlock> MegaHerz: htop and top have those features you said..
[10:25] <Misterio> Dr_Willis_: I only have torrent's port forwarded from router
[10:25] <Dr_Willis_> Misterio:  if the router has some sort of logging feature. its neat to monitor the logs to see if anyone is 'attacking' or scanning you.
[10:25] <Dr_Willis_> Misterio:  about the same thing here.
[10:26] <Misterio> Dr_Willis_: Okay :)
[10:26] <Dr_Willis_> Misterio:  i set up ssh port forwarding once for my brother to get in.. then the next day i saw all sorts of failed login attempts. :) so i dont even forward anything i dont need any more
[10:27] <acee12345> ikonia: ping?
[10:27] <Dr_Willis_> Misterio:  I have to wonder what omne would actually 'firewall' if you dont have any services going.. block pings? router does that.. block other things? router proberly does that also
[10:27] <Dr_Willis_> Misterio:  it seems most of the 'firewall' stuff in windows is to keep the windows apps/malware from getting Out. :)
[10:28] <acee12345> how do i give a program permission to bind ports without invoking sudo?
[10:28] <Misterio> Dr_Willis_: Yeah, that's right. My router has firewall in it, so it can block pings, identd and other stuff. And yes, I haven't got Windows installed, just ubuntu and puppy (in a small pc), so I think there are not problems :)
[10:29] <Dr_Willis_> acee12345:  for lower ports. I dont think you can. FOr higher ports. they should be able to do so allready
[10:29] <acee12345> Dr_Willis_ define higher please
[10:29] <Dr_Willis_> Misterio:  the biggest 'danger' i find to a linux box. is the user doing 'things' (often as root) they shouldent be doing in the first place.
[10:29] <Dr_Willis_> acee12345:  anything over 1024 i think.. i forget the cutoff.
[10:30]  * Dr_Willis_ forgets his networking 101 knowledge.
[10:31] <CedricAthelstone> hidelevels.set
[10:32] <MegaHerz> scriptwarlock: :( I can't find to collect statistics with htop.
[10:32] <acee12345> Dr_Willis_: perfect
[10:32] <MegaHerz> scriptwarlock: visited its setup screen, don't see such a feature
[10:33] <scriptwarlock> MegaHerz: man top... reboot to think your machine is too tired of somthing :)
[10:34] <scriptwarlock> MegaHerz: dont use fancy desktop effects. if possible install conky so you can have a visual monitor on everything you do in your ubuntu.
[10:36] <crankyadmin> Hi, does anybody know if and when ruby1.9 will become the default in 10.04?
[10:36] <scriptwarlock> MegaHerz: #conky for more info... have a good day :)
[10:36] <gracz> Hi :)
[10:36] <scriptwarlock> !hi | grcz
[10:38] <gracz> Is any Polish language ubuntu channel?
[10:38] <PALCO> Hi guys. I love Ubuntu. Love using it. But have a question now. Are out there any Pulseaudio tools (or any other ones) that make it possible to define a soundcard to be used to output sound from a program (media player)? Need it badly. PLS
[10:38] <MegaHerz> scriptwarlock: thank you very much.
[10:38] <Jordan_U> !polish | gracz
[10:38] <scriptwarlock> MegaHerz: your Welcome
[10:38] <Dr_Willis_> crankyadmin:  ubuntu normally dosent push out new versions on releases that way. If its not there now. it proberly wont be in ubuntu as the default till the next release.
[10:38] <Dr_Willis_> crankyadmin:  there are a few exceptions of course.
[10:38] <gracz> Jordan_U, thanx :)
[10:39] <Jordan_U> gracz: You're welcome :)
[10:39] <gschwepp> Hi does anyone know how gdm controls ssh login by ubuntu?
[10:39] <Dr_Willis_> PALCO:  theres a few pulse audio config tools in the repos.  I forget the names. somthing like 'pavcontrol' or similer
[10:39] <Dr_Willis_> gschwepp:  as far as i know. gdm dosent controll ssh at all.
[10:40] <totaam> PALCO: pavucontrol
[10:40] <gracz> Dr_Willis Is it "Pulse Audio Device Chooser"?
[10:40] <gracz> bye :)
[10:40] <Dr_Willis_> gracz:  theres several in there. Ive not played with them in ages.
[10:41] <Dr_Willis_> I do know they had rather confuseing names. :)
[10:41] <metaltux> hello. How do I share my internet connection on ubuntu?
[10:41] <metaltux> it doesn't seem to work as a router
[10:41] <PALCO> Dr_Willis_, but it is possible in general, right?
[10:41] <gracz> bye :)
[10:41] <Dr_Willis_> PALCO:  im not sure what you are doing. but Pulse has a lot of features that people never notice.
[10:42] <scriptwarlock> metaltux: have you tried the network manager feature like share this computer?
[10:42] <knxville> How is it I add programs (Conky) to run automatically at startup?
[10:42] <gschwepp> Dr_Willis_: That was my opinion since yesterday :). I set up a vncserver (by hand not with remote desktop). As long as i was logged in to my remote computer i could establish the ssh connection with my laptop. After logging out at my Remote host it didnot work. After reboot neither(because noone was logged in)
[10:42] <Dr_Willis_> knxville:  for conky ive had tomake a script (startconky.sh) that sleeps for 20 sec, then starts conky with the proper options)  and add that script to the list of auto started apps. via the startup manager tool
[10:42] <Dr_Willis_> !startup | knxville
[10:42] <gschwepp> Dr_Willis_: i killed sudo gdm-stop gdm, logged off and tried to loggin via ssh and it worked.
[10:43] <Dr_Willis_> knxville:  with out the 'pause' conky often gets goofed up and runs on top of - or below the gnome desktop
[10:43] <knxville> Dr_Willis: ahh alright
[10:43] <Dr_Willis_> gschwepp:  i can ssh into my remote box's with gdm started, or stopped. or not even installed..
[10:43] <PALCO> Dr_Willis_, I want Totem music to be played to Sound card A, and Rithmbox sound to go to Sound card B
[10:44] <rebirth> amarok question since the amarok channel seems to be dead: i just updated to 10.04 and now amarok will not find any music when it scans
[10:44] <gschwepp> Dr_Willis_: i expected that. is someone logged into remote host when you start your ssh ?
[10:44] <Dr_Willis_> PALCO:   i think thats doable.   but never really tried it thatway. I tended to reroute sound to my soundcard. Or my Bluetooth headset.
[10:44] <Dr_Willis_> gschwepp:  its a headless server. :) so no.
[10:45] <Dr_Willis_> gschwepp:  ive never heard of GDm in any way  affecting ssh logins.
[10:45] <Dr_Willis_> BRB
[10:46] <click_m> hi!
[10:46] <gschwepp> Dr_Willis_: me neither. but i wanted to ask and then write a bug report.
[10:48] <CedricAthelstone> testing
[10:49] <airtonix> <your test failed>
[10:49] <CedricAthelstone> tet

[10:49] <Dr_Willis_> :)
[10:50] <CedricAthelstone> Sorry, just ignore me I'm mucking around with irssi/irc in general, this is all new to me :-\
[10:51] <Dr_Willis_> CedricAthelstone:  if you like irssi - check out 'weechat' it has some features that are not in irssi
[10:51] <click_m> i have deleted wine from ubuntu 10. but it still has his programs (which i had isntalled them with wine) on the "open with" list which i open my programs . how to clear it ? and why there are many thinks about wine even i have deleted it. linux has problem with unistalling completely softwares ?
[10:51] <Dr_Willis_> it does take a bit of learning however.
[10:51] <Dr_Willis_> click_m:  those come from some directoruy in yiour users home dir.
[10:51] <Dr_Willis_> click_m:  your USER installed the wine apps..  that has nothing todo with the actual package manager system
[10:51] <helloer> Hello, my ubuntu works only on vesa driver(xorg) when i set driver to nv ubuntu hangs on black screen, when i set to nvidia my screen gives me alerts about analog or digital - i have ubuntu 10.04 & geforce 6200
[10:52] <Dr_Willis_> click_m:  what if the admin removed/reinstalled wine. You wouldent want it to remove everyones 'wine' apps they installed.
[10:52] <click_m> Dr_Willis_: i have delete the .wine and other files which i have see on the user directory ...
[10:52] <Dr_Willis_> click_m:  theres some .desktop files somewhere you missed.
[10:52] <n7478> Hi, I am looking for some help. I've upgraded from karmic to lucid and the gnome panel is visually broken.
[10:52] <CedricAthelstone> Dr_Willis_: One step at a time :-) I have just found this one, I think I was using ircii a few minutes ago. You don't happen to know how I can ignore all the join / leaving messages do you?
[10:53] <click_m> Dr_Willis_: also i use blecahbit :( which deletes many thinks....
[10:53] <n7478> Does anyone have an idea how it can be fixed?
[10:53] <XimoDev> dear all, something went wrong with my ubuntu installation, it was installed using WUBI but now it just goes to a grub prompt

[10:57] <metaltux> so how can I do it?
[10:57] <n7478> but the panel is still screwed up
[10:57] <K1ng> devilspie doesnt it work

[10:57] <K1ng> opakavic, Dr_Willis_, already done that but devilspie doesnt work
[10:57] <Dr_Willis_> click_m:  if you want them all gone.. move them to some other 'junk' directory,  or just delete them
[10:58] <Dr_Willis_> K1ng:   does the sh wrok when you run it from a terminal?
[10:58] <metaltux> scriptwarlock?

[10:59] <n7478> any ideas?
[10:59] <al1as> hi dudes i have a problem with reason4
[10:59] <Dr_Willis_> K1ng:  it may need a 'delay' when starting  with gnome. Ive seen some apps that i have to do a 'sleep 20' or so when auto-starting them. this lets gnome get setup. You could also set up the script to launch a terminal and the app. so you can see what its doing/error messages

[11:09] <jt76> Hello everyone, does anyone know if Ubunt supports PEAP/WEP connection "out of the box"?
[11:10] <dang_it> i'm pretty sure it does.  WEP's kind of basic.  If your wifi's supported, that is.
[11:11] <jt76> dang_it: Yes, but to my understanding a PEAP connection uses a 2 pass connection .. and im not sure how to set this part up ..
[11:12] <dang_it>  ah, me neither :-/
[11:12] <jt76> dang_it: haha thats cool .. thanks anyways ;)
[11:14] <n7478> any ideas how themes can get screwed up during an upgrade and how it can be fixed?
[11:15] <Robin______> Hello guys. I've just had to install windows 7 on my ubuntu machine (ubuntu 10.04 installed first), but of course windows gets rid of grub2. how do i get my boot menu back?

[11:18]  * Dr_Willis_ has no idea what 'reason4' is
[11:18] <Dr_Willis_> or hes totally missed the question
[11:18] <al1as> propelorhead
[11:19] <al1as> reason4 propelorhead is a audio program
[11:19] <Dr_Willis_> and this is a Windows program?
[11:25] <vikas> hi
[11:25] <Dr_Willis> Moo to you vikas !
[11:25] <vikas> ?
[11:25] <vikas> hi how r u
[11:26] <Dr_Willis> First Coffee of the day. :) answering Questions on IRC.. life is good.
[11:26] <vikas> well can u tell where the packages get save in ubuntu
[11:26] <Dr_Willis> the .deb files get cached to /var/cache/apt/*  if thats what you mean
[11:27] <Dr_Willis> i may have the dirs backwards. :)
[11:27] <Dr_Willis> /var/cache/apt$ ls
[11:27] <Dr_Willis> archives  pkgcache.bin  srcpkgcache.bin
[11:27] <Dr_Willis> there we go. In teh 'archives' directory for the most part.
[11:27] <vikas> there must b so many .deb files so is it possible to get all in one .deb
[11:28] <atude> Hi, how can I use XFT with gnome-terminal?
[11:28] <Dr_Willis> vikas:  Huh?  merging everytuing into a single 3+GB deb wouldent make much sence.
[11:30] <vikas> because i want to save the installation files so that i can just copy in my pen drive and install on another pc without internet
[11:30] <Dr_Willis> copy  the /var/cache/apt direcotry to the pendrive.
[11:30] <ddavids_> hi
[11:30] <vikas> like .exe files
[11:30] <Jordan_U> !offline | vikas
[11:30] <Dr_Willis> then copy it to the other box. you will stillneed to actually reinstall the packages. but they wont be needed tobe redownloaded
[11:31] <Dr_Willis> vikas:  so you can move/copy the .debs then use that script mentioned above and reinstall most of them. and save download time.
[11:31] <Dr_Willis> vikas:  but that cache may NOT have everything you have ever installed. It gets cleaned out every so often
[11:32] <vikas> ok
[11:32] <vikas> another dought
[11:32] <K1ng> /etc/X11/xorg.conf is no more?
[11:32] <Dr_Willis> vikas:  if you are on a home (or othe) lan,  you can set up one ubuntu box as an 'apt-cacher' to cache the packages for the rest of the lan.  That way the stuff gets downloaded once by one machine. the rest of the lan can use the cache from that box.
[11:33] <Dr_Willis> K1ng:  for the most part X auto configures. so yep. xorg.conf is often not needed
[11:33] <Dr_Willis> K1ng:  i have it on a few machines for some settings
[11:33] <K1ng> Dr_Willis, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=403684
[11:33] <kimec> hi guys anybody using nss-ldapd on hardy?
[11:33] <vaibhav> how i can run my shell script at boot time?
[11:34] <Dr_Willis> vaibhav:  put it in /etc/rc.local is one way
[11:34] <cppiii> when I run the ssh command, I got a warning "/usr/local/zend/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8: no version information available (required by ssh)"
[11:34] <cppiii> how do I fix it?
[11:34] <Dr_Willis> vaibhav:  it has to run BEFOR users login  with no X right? rc.local can do that
[11:34] <vaibhav> kk 'll try..
[11:34] <vaibhav> Dr_Willis: thanks
[11:34] <kimec> cppiii: do you have openssh installed properly?
[11:35] <vaibhav> actually I want my graphics driver settings at boot time..
[11:35] <vikas> there are many softwares vlc,opera,xchat,pidgin....etc so can v make only one .deb file of each software separately like .exe it would be easy to find and install only the needed software. Dr_Willis
[11:35] <cppiii> kimec: I don't know, I installed that by synaptic package manager
[11:36] <cppiii> kimec: I tried re-install that but also not work
[11:36] <kimec> cppiii: well to install ssh you should do: sudo aptitude install openssh-server openssh-client
[11:36] <tonysan> I accidentally delete the schema in metacity/general while using gconf-editor, how can I recover it?
[11:37] <cppiii> kimec: the server needed too?
[11:37] <n7478> any ideas how themes can get screwed up during an upgrade and how it can be fixed?
[11:37] <kimec> cppiii: if I remember correctly both packages are interconnected in ubuntu. maybe not
[11:37] <tonysan> I deleted /schemas/apps/metacity/general/button_layout schema...
[11:37] <n7478> any ideas how themes can get screwed up during an upgrade and how it can be fixed?
[11:38] <kimec> cppiii: I would consider having ssh server an advantage
[11:39] <kimec> cppiii: well it seems they are not. try aptitude install openssh-client
[11:39] <cppiii> kimec: I am trying to install the ssh-server, but got the error too
[11:39] <kimec> what error?
[11:39] <vikas> there are many softwares vlc,opera,xchat,pidgin....etc so can v make only one .deb file of each software separately like .exe it would be easy to find and install only the needed software. Dr_Willis
[11:40] <kimec> vikas: virtual packages?
[11:40] <kimec> or meta packages?
[11:40] <Dr_Willis> vikas:  ubuntu package manager dosent work that way. You are thinking in windows terms
[11:40] <kimec> gtg
[11:40] <vikas> ok
[11:40] <kimec> cppiii: drop here those errors
[11:41] <Dr_Willis> vikas:  if you look at how the package manager works.. vlc basically is a .deb as is opera, and xchat. the however have dependencies that are also oteh .deb packages
[11:41] <Dr_Willis> Thus you are not constantly redownloading 'support libs'  that are 'built into' the 'installer .exe' like they do in windows.
[11:42]  * DarkStar2 Greets everyone present "IRC-ing in windows feels strange" :)
[11:42] <Dr_Willis> vikas:  you could (and i DONT suggest this) copy all those .debs to the other machine and 'sudo dpkg -i *.deb' and reinstall them all.. BUT THIS CAN break things.
[11:43] <tonysan> I accidentally delete the schema in metacity/general while using gconf-editor, how can I recover it?
[11:43] <Dr_Willis> if theres old/new versions of the .debs or other issues.. that can be a very bad idea. best to put them in the cache. and reinstall the apps using the proper commands
[11:43] <vikas> ya and it will install all softwares
[11:43] <Dr_Willis> vikas:  it will install those 'deb' packages..
[11:43] <al1as> hey Dr_willis please man help me i need this to work reason 4 check it out man
[11:43] <Dr_Willis> vikas:  but I dont reccomend doing it that way
[11:43] <vikas> ok thnx
[11:44] <Dr_Willis> al1as:  i asked you some time ago if that was a windows app. You never replied..
[11:44] <cppiii> kimec:  Creating SSH2 RSA key; this may take some time ...ssh-keygen: /usr/local/zend/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8: no version information available (required by ssh-keyge
[11:44] <al1as> yes it is
[11:44] <DarkStar2> Quick question does anyone have a problem with pidgin? specifically it adding the number 1 to your nick sometimes when you attempt to log into IRC channels?
[11:44] <Dr_Willis> al1as:  then see the wine app database, or the #winehq channel. i cant really 'help' with a windows app ive never had/tried/cant install..
[11:45] <Dr_Willis> !appdb | al1as
[11:45] <vikas> the batter thing will be to download the software packages in different folder and save them Dr_Willis
[11:45] <Dr_Willis> vikas:  the pacakge manager archive is the same deb's you would be 'downloading'
[11:45] <io> DarkStar2: Possibly because your primary nickname is already in use. Most IRC clients either add a numeral or an underscore.
[11:46] <io> DarkStar2: However, you should get a notice telling you that from your client. I am not sure Pidgin does that notice.
[11:46] <al1as> ok thanks man dident help but thnx any way
[11:46] <DarkStar2> io: It did but I can't find it in use..
[11:46] <io> DarkStar2: The server will send it, whether Pidgin chooses to show it or not is anyones guess as I don't use that client.
[11:46] <MaRk-I> hhmmm libraries are in /usr/bin, cppiii did you install libcripto by yourself or why they show in /usr/local/zend/lib?
[11:47] <vikas> i mean each software in different folder like vlc packages in vlc folder opera packages in opera folder and so on...... Dr_Willis
[11:47] <io> DarkStar2: You do not own the nickname DarkStar.
[11:47] <al1as> exit
[11:47] <MaRk-I> err /usr/lib**
[11:47] <io> DarkStar2: DarkStar is registered by another user. "/msg nickserv info darkstar".
[11:47] <Hallaj> Hi all, I've installed a server with 4 hdd to raid 5 (3 disk + 1 spare) and when I finish installing and rebooted, I get into a busybox console instead
[11:47] <Hallaj> I'm using the default install, is there anything wrong with it?
[11:48] <AceKing> For the last week or so my PC (running 10.04) has been lagging real bad. It starts up fine, but once I'm at the desktop it takes forever to open programs. Any ideas besides a re-install to fix this issue?
[11:48] <MaRk-I> Hallaj: were you expecting a desktop environment?
[11:48] <vikas> Dr_Willis, will .net framework can be installed in ubuntu to excess softwares like wine
[11:49] <vikas> like wind do
[11:49] <Dr_Willis> vikas:  it dosent work that way. and you would have redundant packages in the different folders.  what if prog1 and Prog2 both needed  some support library.. your way would have that support.deb in both folders
[11:49] <cppiii> MaRk-I:  I don't know... maybe I have to reinstall the ubuntu
[11:49] <AceKing> I should say "takes forever" just say Firefox for instance.. It takes about 5 to 8 seconds to open
[11:49] <Dr_Willis> vikas:  ive heard .net stuff dosent work very well in wine.  The few apps ive used that need .net often have tweaks to let them use the mono instead
[11:49] <MaRk-I> cppiii: well you need to find out first why they're in a different location
[11:49] <Hallaj> MaRk-I, well, I would at least hope to see my OS booted, but there's just nothing
[11:49] <dminus> Hallaj: is it complaining about not being able to find /dev/disk/by-uuid/[uuid] ?
[11:50] <cppiii> cppiii: as I remember I have installed zend-server
[11:50] <Hallaj> dminus: Yes, that's exactly what I saw
[11:50] <MaRk-I> Hallaj: any errors during boot up?
[11:50] <io> AceKing: Obvious question but did you install any software during that time that could have possibly caused it?
[11:50] <dminus> Hallaj: is it a scsi or SAS array?
[11:50] <Hallaj> dminus: It's SAS array
[11:51] <AceKing> io, I'm always installing stuff from the repositories, but nothing that I haven't had on before
[11:51] <dminus> you might need to add bootdelay=30 to let the array initialize, can you see anything in /dev like sda, sdb?
[11:51] <Hallaj> dminus: I even tried with double raid1, it's still refusing to work.
[11:51] <Hallaj> dminus: I'd have to reinstall. I've been trying a couple of combinations for now, none seems to be working. Let me try it and let you know. Thanks.
[11:52] <Hallaj> dminus: Anyway, is this because the array wasn't initialized on time for the boot?
[11:52] <dminus> yeah that's it exactly
[11:52] <vikas> i tried to install mono but did not worked how to install mono Dr_Willis
[11:52] <dminus> i have an old dell box with an adaptec card and had the same problem on lucid
[11:53] <dminus> you might need to modprobe the module for your scsi card first, then it should show detection in dmesg
[11:53] <io> AceKing: Unusual, something has obviously changed for it to be like that - maybe someone else can help. :-)
[11:53] <Ajitarsh> Hello dear, I am facing a weird problem with UBUNTU 10.04. It gets freeze after booting up. What should I do?
[11:53] <sangho> i want find *.tar.gz file or *.zip file with ls, how can i do this? (i know "ls *.tar.gz" command find *.tar.gz file in current directory)
[11:53] <dminus> then you can exit the initramfs shell and it should boot
[11:53] <AceKing> io, thank you for the reply. It's been driving me nuts
[11:54] <dminus> to fix permanently, add "doscsi rootdelay=30" to your default linux cmdline in /etc/default/grub
[11:54] <MaRk-I> sangho: locate *.tar.gz
[11:54] <vikas> Ajitarsh, where does it freezes
[11:54] <sangho> MaRk-I, what it means?
[11:54] <Hallaj> dminus: I'm running software raid, so the timeout is what I really need right?
[11:54] <Dr_Willis> vikas:  i tend to avoide anything using .net or mono. I thouight mono was installed by default. but that dosent mean that wine apps will use it automatically
[11:54] <MaRk-I> sangho: it means type in terminal:   locate *.tar.gz
[11:55] <io> sangho: "cd <folder>" then "ls | grep .tar.gz" or "ls | grep *.zip".
[11:55] <Shvonder> find
[11:55] <sangho> io, i want do that at same time
[11:55] <Shvonder> command
[11:55] <Shvonder> so use cron
[11:55] <dminus> Hallaj: as long as your devices are showing up in /dev, yeah, but if not you need to add doscsi
[11:55] <Shvonder> the corntabs
[11:55] <Ajitarsh> After sometime from booting up. freezing time always vary. sometime it happen within a minute sometime it takes 10-15 min.
[11:55] <killerhound> good day I was looking for some help about a twinview configuration in which the second monitor cannot be set to its highest native resolution (using nvidia driver)
[11:56] <sangho> no, i mean one result
[11:56] <io> sangho: "ls | grep *.tar.gz | grep *.zip" then.
[11:56] <Shvonder> sangho: use the corntab but with your script
[11:56] <dminus> Hallaj: there might be some other fix needed to force initializing the md volume though, dont do much with mdadm arrays myself :-)
[11:56] <io> Shvonder: His question has nothing to do with using crontab or a script.
[11:56] <sangho> io,  that's result is None, because there is no *.zip in result of "grep *.tar.gz"
[11:57] <Shvonder> io: He said he wanted to find some file periodicaly
[11:57] <Hallaj> dminus: Oh, there's no guarantee that the grub would load then?
[11:57] <vikas> i have and  want to use software to download books from google. it uses .net how can it be get into work in ubuntu Dr_Willis
[11:57] <AceKing> io, You're not going to believe this.. I tried searching again on Google and I found that I am not the only one having the problem! I'm not sure if it's ok to post a link in here, but it shows the fix
[11:58] <MaRk-I> AceKing: post it
[11:58] <dminus> Hallaj: i've had trouble in the past with that, but that's RHEL 5, so it might not be the issue
[11:58] <AceKing> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-firefox-slow-problem-in-ubuntu-10-04lucid.html
[11:58] <io> sangho: You expected a file ending in .zip to show when using "grep *.tar.gz", obviously not. The .zip file will show when using "grep *.zip". You asked for a single command to list files ending in *.tar.gz and *.zip, which "ls | grep *.tar.gz | grep *.zip" will do.
[11:58] <dminus> Hallaj: did you try exiting the shell after waiting a minute or two?
[11:58] <tranchinh> hello
[11:59] <MaRk-I> AceKing: so firefox is the problem?
[11:59] <killerhound> Hmm still looking about that resolution problem for second monitor...
[11:59] <Hallaj> dminus: sometimes exit or ctrl would boot the OS
[11:59] <Hallaj> but most of the times, doing so will just cause the machine to freeze
[11:59] <AceKing> MaRK-I, yes!
[11:59] <io> !hi | tranchinh
[11:59] <vikas> Ajitarsh, well go in recovery mode
[11:59] <Hallaj> the keyboard sequence works tho (num lock, etc)
[11:59] <Ajitarsh> vikas: Dear can you suggest something for it?
[11:59] <MaRk-I> AceKing: noted
[11:59] <Ajitarsh> ok
[11:59] <dminus> Hallaj: if you can get it booted, try just adding the rootdelay=30 (or 60 or 90) to the grub defaults
[12:00] <dminus> that should be all you need
[12:00] <Ajitarsh> Ok, I'll do and come back to you.
[12:00] <Hallaj> dminus: just add that to the grub file and reboot, no need to initfsram or something?
[12:01] <sangho> io, http://dpaste.org/CX9x/ it doesn't work
[12:01] <dminus> Hallaj: theres a line in /etc/default/grub that sets GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX
[12:01] <dminus> thats where you need to add it
[12:01] <vikas> Ajitarsh, go and use repair broken packages
[12:01] <sangho> i want show *.tar.gz and *.zip at the same time
[12:01] <Ajitarsh> Ok
[12:01]  * bleah away : oszt csak csendesen mert torom a diot
[12:02] <jb12> hey all
[12:02] <MaRk-I> now at the same time...
[12:03] <MaRk-I> sangho: you keep changing what you want out of ls
[12:03] <io> sangho: "ls | grep 'tar.gz\|zip'".
[12:04] <sangho> io thanks, it works
[12:04] <io> sangho: It does. :-)
[12:04] <vikas> MaRk-I, i want to backup whole ubuntu and formate my drive and want the same ubuntu back is that possible
[12:05] <MaRk-I> vikas: in the same hdd?
[12:05] <vikas> ya
[12:05] <jb12> is the csm changed in new version i only get desktop cube
[12:05] <jb12> where the spherical cube..
[12:05] <Dr_Willis> vikas: what are you planing to gain from this?  (or your use of the term backup is vague)
[12:05] <Dr_Willis> jb12:  its in there.  i saw it. theres extra compiz plugins in the package manager you may need
[12:06] <MaRk-I> vikas: no, where are you going to save your backups if you're formating it, unles you have a separate partition and format only what you need
[12:06] <jb12> ahh ok
[12:06]  * Dr_Willis meditates on the term 'spherical cube' - How 'zen'
[12:07] <Riotta> hi, how to recognize ad-hoc wifi network in network manager applet or maybe some other program?
[12:10] <vikas> ok
[12:10] <jb12> Dr_Willis, thanks
[12:13] <Martiini> Anyone ever successfully copied ext3 filesystem to another partition ??
[12:14] <Dr_Willis> Martiini:  thers numerous tools to do that.
[12:14] <Dr_Willis> make a ext3 fs on the iother partition and copuy over the files.. is one way.. Unless we are missing somthing in your problem
[12:15] <pooky> is there a way to get an onscreen notification of sound events?
[12:15] <pooky> like make the edges of the screen light up
[12:16] <pooky> or something along those lines
[12:16] <pooky> that would still appear as a normal sound device
[12:21] <c3l> how do I get a list of last logins with time and date for a certain user?
[12:22] <blain> emc windows storage ftw

[12:23] <c3l> turns out it was the command last
[12:24] <Dr_Willis> c3l:  like the 'who' or 'w' command?
[12:24] <nawk> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper#Configuration
[12:24] <Dr_Willis> c3l:  or 'lastlog'
[12:25] <nawk> nvm
[12:25] <c3l> Dr_Willis: lastlog is only last login, not any logins previous to that
[12:25] <c3l> Dr_Willis: its the command last
[12:26] <fabien_> does anyone know how to find out what hard disk driver ubuntu is currently using for a disk
[12:26] <c3l> fabien_: df?
[12:27] <kimec> c3l: driver...
[12:27] <Dr_Willis> Hmm. most all hard disks are using teh  kernel drivers. guess you could see what lsmod has loaded.. but not sure what else to check
[12:27] <c3l> kimec: oh hahh
[12:27] <Dr_Willis> or do youmean for a 'controller card' ?
[12:27] <chrism2671> anybody know how to start a full desktop gnome session over x transport?
[12:28] <chrism2671> i can get individual apps to start but I'd like to whole desktop
[12:28] <Dr_Willis> chrism2671:  local lan? of over the internet?
[12:28] <chrism2671> Dr_Willis: local lan
[12:29] <Dr_Willis> chrism2671:  2 linux machines? or linux + win? or what?
[12:29] <kimec> chrism2671: freenx
[12:29] <chrism2671> linux + mac w/X11 installed
[12:29] <chrism2671> I can normally do ssh -X just fine from the mac
[12:29] <Sbioko> ho
[12:29] <Sbioko> hi
[12:29] <chrism2671> but would like to open an entire gnome display
[12:29] <Sbioko> how to enter recovery mode?
[12:29] <Dr_Willis> freenx, vnc, or the xdmcp feature of X are also ways
[12:30] <Sbioko> Ubuntu 10.04
[12:30] <kimec> xdmcp works only on lan
[12:30] <blain> Sbioko single ?
[12:30] <Dr_Willis> chrism2671:  freenx works very well for a 'whole' dekktop. vnc works well. but is a little slower. but easier to get going
[12:30] <Dr_Willis> kimec:  he said it was on a lan. :)
[12:30] <Sbioko> blain: hmmm, what? :-)
[12:30] <Sbioko> recovery mode
[12:30] <Sbioko> only console
[12:30] <kimec> Dr_Willis: I see
[12:30] <blain> ctrl+alt+f3
[12:30] <Dr_Willis> I wonder how xdmcp compares speed wise with freenx.
[12:30] <Sbioko> blain: at the startup?
[12:30] <chrism2671> grand. are any standard with 10.04
[12:31] <chrism2671> ?
[12:31] <kimec> nevertheless, freenx is appropriate for both scenarios
[12:31] <blain> at the startup you need single in the kernel line
[12:31] <blain> !single
[12:31] <Sbioko> dont understand
[12:31] <Sbioko> sorry
[12:31] <Sbioko> can you explain?
[12:31] <Hallaj> dminus: that seems to be working well. Thanks :)
[12:32] <blain> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2
[12:33] <chrism2671> Dr_Willis I'm certain there's a way to do it without installing anything extra, just over an ssh -X session, or am I wrong about that?
[12:33] <remoteCTRL1> hi guys! can somebody pls explain to me why these stoopid firefox and thunderbird allway have to use way beyond 100% cpu and tha while IDLE???
[12:33] <^Jay2^> does fglrx shows ati's gpu temp/
[12:35] <Dr_Willis> chrism2671:   the whole desktop apps would all run as seperate apps.. so you sould have windows scattered all over.  try running  gnome-panel and see.
[12:35] <Dr_Willis> chrism2671:  using freenx, or vnc would keep them all int heir own 'window' and thus neater
[12:35] <Dr_Willis> chrism2671:  run 'gnome-session'  over the ssh -X . and hang on to your hat. :)
[12:37] <linxeh> is mutt still the best command line email client?
[12:37] <nawk> !Jockey > nawk
[12:38] <chrism2671> Dr_Willis oh my goodness i wish you could see what this has done to my desktop!
[12:38] <chrism2671> Dr_Willis It has fused mac + ubuntu in one!
[12:38] <nawk> !jockey
[12:39] <linxeh> remoteCTRL1: how can they use beyond 100% cpu ?
[12:39] <Sbioko> blain: thanks
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> chrism2671:  i warned you. :)
[12:39] <kimec> linxeh: cone
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> chrism2671:  tecnically its just ran a lot of gnome apps...
[12:39] <linxeh> kimec: ?
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> chrism2671:  hope nautilus dosent goof things up when it tries to take over the desktop :)
[12:39] <chrism2671> Dr_Willis it's pretty fun to see, if a little crazy!
[12:39] <remoteCTRL1> linxeh: start one of each and hafe a look at top or your system monitor then you will know
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> chrism2671:  now ya know why we suggested freenx
[12:40] <kimec> linxeh: is mutt still the best command line email client? -> not for me, i like cone
[12:40] <linxeh> kimec: ah, ok thanks
[12:40] <chrism2671> Dr_Willis yep makes perfect sense! :-)
[12:40] <linxeh> kimec: I shall take a look - cheers
[12:40] <linxeh> kimec: cone is presumably a clone of pine ?
[12:40] <totaam> linxeh: also take a look at xpra and shifter
[12:40] <totaam> freenx is a major pain to setup
[12:40] <kimec> totaam: not really
[12:40] <Jinxed-> I wanted to record videos and have them sent to my pc and then be able to stream those videos across my network on demand, does ubuntu have anything that would be good for this application?
[12:41] <kimec> totaam: works out of the box
[12:41] <Dr_Willis> I got freenx working.. but dont fully understand some parts of it. :)
[12:41] <linxeh> Jinxed-: like mythtv ?
[12:42] <totaam> kimec: you must be the lucky one!
[12:42] <ddavids_> pls, i just deleted my old user cos some config in it was causing my music players to crash but the new user keeps using the details of the original user i created...any explanations as to why?
[12:42] <Jinxed-> linxeh: would mythtv or mythbuntu be what im looking for?
[12:42] <kimec> linxeh: cone is from courier
[12:42] <kimec> totaam: I suppose so
[12:42] <linxeh> kimec: yeah, the screenshots of it look remarkably like pine though (I assume cone is a play on "pine cone" or something)
[12:43] <linxeh> kimec: ok, anyway, thankyou
[12:43] <Dr_Willis> Jinxed-:  mythtv can do some amazing things. :) its a complex and powerfull system
[12:44] <linxeh> Jinxed-: it might be - check the mythtv feature list. mythbuntu is a "get you working quick" solution
[12:44] <Jinxed-> linxeh: the only thing I was wondering about was that I feel like mythtv is optimized for recording television, where as I want to be able to send raw video. Im also trying to figure out what the best way to get the video to my server would be
[12:44] <kimec> linxeh: choose the one that suits you best
[12:44] <plazia> I can't access my tty's. I ctrl+alt+f1 - f5 and x dissapears and it goes to them but there's no prompt or even cursor; just a blank screen. How do I re-enable the consoles?
[12:45] <Dr_Willis> Jinxed-:  clarify what youmean by 'raw' video.
[12:45] <linxeh> Jinxed-: just dont use the TV part of it :)
[12:45] <gozc> db
[12:45] <gozc> hej
[12:45] <Jinxed-> Dr_Willis: as in I record some footage from a camera and then just send that video prob maybe encode to h264 to server
[12:46] <gozc> pogada ktos?
[12:46] <ddavids_> pls, i just deleted my old user cos some config in it was causing my music players to crash but the new user keeps using the details of the original user i created...any explanations as to why?
[12:46] <MaRk-I> Jinxed-: stream it with vlc?
[12:46] <Dr_Willis> Jinxed-:  'send that video'  ? You mean copy from a camcorder to HD? mythtv wouldent be involved in that..  If you were recording a video Input  or somthing from a tv card.. well then mythtv can help.
[12:47] <Jinxed-> Dr_Willis: yeah... i don't actually need the tv part of mythtv,
[12:47] <Dr_Willis> ive used mythtv to record from the Svideo In on my tuner card. :)
[12:47] <Jinxed-> MaRk-I: vlc has good streaming capabilities?
[12:47] <Dr_Willis> Jinxed-:  then you basically need some sort of video 'server' im guessing.
[12:47] <gfather> hello guys
[12:47] <gfather> i installed s2-liplianin , how can i remove it ?
[12:48] <MaRk-I> Jinxed-: try, just go to menu streaming select video device
[12:49] <Jinxed-> Dr_Willis: exactly, and I wasn't sure if mythtv was appropriate or if it was too far away from what I needed to really be applicable
[12:49] <Dr_Willis> gfather:  installed how?
[12:49] <gfather> Dr_Willis: i cloned the source, then make , then sudo make install
[12:49] <Dr_Willis> gfather:  then try 'sudo make uninstall'
[12:50] <gfather> Dr_Willis: didnt work
[12:50] <MaRk-I> gfather: you need to be inside the folder where you compiled
[12:50] <gfather> ah thanks :)
[12:51] <Dr_Willis> people over look that logic. :)
[12:51] <phpl0v3r> any one know good php irc ?
[12:51] <vandor> hey, i got some problems with ati radeon 9800se video card
[12:51] <gauho> siemasz
[12:51] <zingbats> We have a really stupid router. I am redirecting WAN:8080 to LAN:80. ShieldsUp says the port is open, but it can't see apache on the server. Is there a way to rule out ubuntu blocking it? I'm pretty sure that even the desktop edition of 10.04 I'm using as the server doesn't have a firewall...
[12:51] <vandor> ubuntu wont boot if its installed in computer
[12:52] <gauho> hi i am new in ubuntu do you tel me abought it ?
[12:52] <Dr_Willis> zingbats:  check iptables rules with 'sudo iptables --list'
[12:52] <vandor> or boot like few times and then i got errors
[12:52] <iceroot> zingbats: wan and lan are differente networks, correct?
[12:52] <ddavids_> pls, i just deleted my old user cos some config in it was causing my music players to crash but the new user keeps using the details of the original user i created...any explanations as to why?
[12:52] <zingbats> iceroot: Yes they are.
[12:52] <iceroot> zingbats: you have to enable network-forwarding
