[07:44] <Diesel> kc8pxy, Ubuntu is running now , Backtrack is what Im working to make room for
[07:45] <Diesel> Just dont want to make a mistake on partitioning
[07:45] <lacqui> i get "evince: /build/buildd/cairo-1.8.0/src/cairo-xlib-surface.c:934: _draw_image_surface: Assersion `ret != 0' failed."
[07:46] <croppa> Has ther been a good sulition for the problem of pairing a bluetooth device which has a fixed code in intreped?
[07:47] <bigtwix2> anyone had a problem with updating nvidia drivers, and the xserver wont boot?
[07:47] <croppa> I have been trying to pair a gps tracker with a code of 000
[07:47] <ActionParsnip> croppa: sure, when you pair it, use that code
[07:48] <croppa> ActionParsnip: I wish it was that simple :-)
[07:48] <rww> lacqui: Looks like it's reported already but doesn't have a resolution yet: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libcairo/+bug/296701
[07:49] <croppa> In Intrepid you dont get the oppertunity to use a fixed code
[07:49] <ActionParsnip> croppa: theres a conf file where you can specify a code to always use but it willbe used for other stuff to so itsnot secure unless you set that you have to manually accept all data sent
[07:49] <ActionParsnip> croppa: or just change it while you pair that one device, then switch back
[07:50] <croppa> ActionParsnip: where is that config file
[07:50] <NOTEBOOK> kr.hanirc.org
[07:50] <NOTEBOOK> r=
[07:50] <NOTEBOOK> 오노
[07:51] <ActionParsnip> croppa: try: gksudo gedit  /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf
[07:52] <ActionParsnip> croppa: you may need to restart a bluetooth daemon to apply the setting
[07:53] <croppa> ActionParsnip: ther is no /ect/bluetooth/hcid.conf file there to start with
[07:54] <ActionParsnip> croppa: fine: sudo find -name *.conf | grep ^hc
[07:54] <Spacin> v.v  anyone willing to help me with loading a script?
[07:55] <ActionParsnip> Spacin: ask the room your question, it will respond
[07:56] <Spacin> I have asked
[07:56] <lanoxx-> e
[07:56]  * hippie greets Zta
[07:56] <ActionParsnip> Spacin: can you give some more information then
[07:57] <Zta> The ubuntu 7.04 (feisty) archive seems to have disappeared.  Where can I find it.
[07:57] <Spacin> I'm trying to load a script and I can't figure out how
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> Spacin: loading a script - not exactly detail
[07:57] <Spacin> A colour script
[07:57] <crdlb> Zta: feisty is no longer supported
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> Spacin: you can RUN a script, you dont load a script
[07:57] <croppa> ActionParsnip: That didnt find any files :-(
[07:57] <Zta> crdlb, so they just remove it for the planet's surface??
[07:57] <Spacin> Same thing
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> croppa: then its handled by some other file in /etc
[07:58] <ActionParsnip> Spacin: then chmod +x <script file> to make it executanle
[07:58] <Zta> There's a difference between "not supporting" and "sabotaging".  I need some 7.04 packages.
[07:58] <ActionParsnip> Spacin: if the script is in your current pwd, use ./<script name>
[07:58] <iGmail> How to convert wma to mp3 ? any idea for this with mplayer?
[07:58] <ActionParsnip> Spacin: r use /path/to/<script name>
[07:58] <croppa> Yes there plenty of mensions of the problem about when googled :-(
[07:59] <ActionParsnip> croppa: bluetooth is a PITA
[07:59] <croppa> PITA?
[07:59] <hippie> Pain In The A..
[07:59] <Daft_Punk> P o S
[07:59] <croppa> ok
[07:59] <Zta> Anyone know where I can find a 7.04 repo?
[07:59] <Daft_Punk> Zta, a mirror perhaps?
[07:59] <ActionParsnip> !7.04
[08:00] <Daft_Punk> !eol
[08:00] <Zta> Daft_Punk, I was actually hoping the official archive.ubuntu.com would keep them =\
[08:00] <croppa> It seem that it worked ok in hardy
[08:00] <Zta> This really sucks.
[08:00] <crdlb> Zta: you can change your sources to old-releases.ubuntu.com
[08:00] <croppa> Thanks anyway ActionParsnip
[08:00] <croppa> I will have to keep looking
[08:01] <Zta> crdlb, thanks!!! =)
[08:01] <Zta> fantastic
[08:01] <Spacin> Damn it.. I'm confused even more...  v.v
[08:02] <ActionParsnip> Spacin: a script is just a text file with fancy syntax
[08:02] <croppa> It seems that changes were made in bluez-gnome
[08:02] <Daft_Punk> Zta, no, they wouldnt keep them, its like microsoft not selling obsolete software anymore, ubuntu wont keep obsolete software either, you can check a torrent or mirror site if you want an older version that is no longer supported
[08:02] <ActionParsnip> Spacin: if you chmod +x the scriptfile it will make it executable
[08:02] <Spacin> How do I do the chmod?
[08:03] <Daft_Punk> Spacin, use terminal (CLI)
[08:03] <ActionParsnip> Spacin: if the script is in the same folder as your terminal is sat in you have to execute it with ./ to make the shell look in the local folder
[08:03] <Daft_Punk> !cli
[08:03] <Zta> Daft_Punk, That's a crappy policy.  So Ubuntu basically forces people upgrade their computers.  This takes time and costs money, and is unnecessary if the server runs fine.  Who's going to pay for this?  Ubuntu?
[08:03] <Spacin> Ok
[08:03] <ActionParsnip> Spacin: 3rd time now....  chmod +x <whatever the script is called type it here>
[08:03] <Daft_Punk> Zta, ubuntu is free
[08:03] <wlsdnrwodnr> 하하
[08:04] <wlsdnrwodnr> 다 미국 사람인가?
[08:04] <hippie> Daft_Punk, time is money :)
[08:04] <wlsdnrwodnr> hi~
[08:04] <Daft_Punk> hippie, well i wish I was being paid to be here :p
[08:04] <ActionParsnip> Spacin: if your terminal is not in the same folder as the script you will have to specify the path to it
[08:04] <Zta> Daft_Punk, you don't get my point
[08:04] <wlsdnrwodnr> why
[08:04] <iGmail> wlsdnrwodnr: only English here.
[08:04] <wlsdnrwodnr> no
[08:05] <hippie> Daft_Punk, look at it this way: it costs money in lost productivity :)
[08:05] <ActionParsnip> Zta: it doesnt force them to upgrade at all, you can run fluxbuntu or xubuntuon some very old hardware
[08:05] <wlsdnrwodnr> 영어는 어려워
[08:05] <bindaas> Draft_Punk:ubuntu is free but unnecessary upgrades costs time/money
[08:05] <Zta> ActionParsnip, I'm running a server.
[08:05] <Daft_Punk> Zta, hippie if you want ubuntu 7.04 you can download it off a mirror or torrent
[08:05] <_ruben> running a server on deprecated software is, well, stupid
[08:05] <ActionParsnip> Zta: even better, no x server
[08:06] <hippie> _ruben, tell that to the debian guys ;)
[08:06] <Daft_Punk> Zta, http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/feisty/
[08:06] <Zta> Daft_Punk, I got that.
[08:06] <Riya> what is the use of wifiradar
[08:06] <_ruben> hippie: atleast that'd be supported deprecated software :)
[08:06] <Daft_Punk> Zta, ok so what is the problem?
[08:06] <Zta> Daft_Punk, I'm just trying to get my point though to you =)
[08:07] <Riya> fi5e what is wifi radar pkg
[08:07] <Daft_Punk> Zta, as far as I understand, you asked a question, you got the resolution you required, and you are trying to banter because of principle?
[08:07] <kkb110> .
[08:07] <kkb110> hi
[08:07] <ActionParsnip> Zta: its fOSS which has zero warranty and zero SLA, they could turn off all the repos and theres nothing youo can do
[08:07] <rww> Zta: Your server is running an unsupported operating system that is not getting security updates. Ubuntu can't provide security and other updates for every single release it does, way back into the past, they don't have resources for it.
[08:08] <rww> Zta: unless you think it'll be awesome when one of those security holes that your server didn't get patched is used to exploit it, it'd probably be wise for you to upgrade.
[08:08] <Zta> rww, I'm not asking for any of that.  I just want access to the latest packages for that release.  I need some extra packages.
[08:08] <ActionParsnip> Zta: they choose to stop supporting the old versions as if it runs say 50 years then there will be aboout 100 old versions of ubuntu to make packages for the first couple incase some guy is still running it
[08:08] <Zta> rww, I do understand why it's smart to upgrade.
[08:08] <Daft_Punk> Zta, there are no latest patches/upgrades for that OS, it is dead.
[08:09] <ActionParsnip> Zta: you can freely compile stuff
[08:09] <Zta> Daft_Punk, There's *always* a latest packages.
[08:09] <Zta> ActionParsnip, oh please, don't sabotage the discussion with this crap.
[08:09] <Daft_Punk> Zta, not in the repos or synaptic, you would have to compile it yourself
[08:09] <Spacin> No such file or directory
[08:09] <ActionParsnip> Zta: why, its a fact
[08:09] <crdlb> this is not a discussion channel ...
[08:09] <Daft_Punk> ActionParsnip, perhaps, create a factoid :P
[08:10] <Zta> Daft_Punk, I'm not talking about the software developers latest version -- I'm talking about the latest version Ubuntu released.
[08:10] <crdlb> as long as Zta is fully aware that his machine should never be connected to the Internet, I think we can move one
[08:10] <crdlb> on*
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> !compile | Daft_Punk
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> ;)
[08:10] <rww> Daft_Punk: replace "latest" with "last" in Zta's messages. Woohoo, problem solved.
[08:10] <Daft_Punk> ActionParsnip, i meant a factoid for Zta's concern of using an old os with no support
[08:10] <Zta> rww, yeah whatever
[08:10] <Daft_Punk> lol
[08:11] <rww> Zta: That was pointing out Daft_Punk's pickiness, not a criticism of you.
[08:11] <Daft_Punk> :O
[08:11] <Zta> rww, ok =)
[08:11] <Daft_Punk> 0.o
[08:12] <DinkyDogg> hi there
[08:12] <DinkyDogg> can someone help me out? I'm trying to mount a floppy disk from my ubuntu server install
[08:12] <DinkyDogg> it's formatted to vfat
[08:13] <Spacin> Crap...
[08:13] <DinkyDogg> i see the file /dev/fd0 but i can't seem to mount it
[08:13] <ActionParsnip> DinkyDogg: sudo mkdir /media/floppy; sudo mount /dev/fd0 /media/floppy
[08:13] <Zta> besides, I *am* trying to build the newest version of a pacakge, namely ffmpeg.  But I just needed the deps.
[08:13] <joerack> please help me , dragon player isn't working
[08:13] <Zta> ie. -dev package dependencies
[08:13] <slytherin> DinkyDogg: what command are you using for mounting?
[08:14] <DinkyDogg> uh, ok, this is embarassing, the floppy was not actually in the drive
[08:14] <Riya> how can config pppd
[08:14] <ActionParsnip> DinkyDogg: D'oh ;)
[08:14] <DinkyDogg> indeed :)
[08:14] <DinkyDogg> huh
[08:14] <DinkyDogg> now it's in
[08:14] <DinkyDogg> but when i run "file /dev/fd0"
[08:14] <DinkyDogg> /dev/fd0: ERROR: cannot open `/dev/fd0' (No such file or directory)
[08:15] <rww> DinkyDogg: The floppy module isn't loaded by default any more. "sudo modprobe floppy" should fix it.
[08:15] <ActionParsnip> DinkyDogg: do you have the floppy module loaded?
[08:15] <DinkyDogg> ah
[08:15] <Doble> Hi
[08:16] <ActionParsnip> DinkyDogg: sudo modprobe floppy
[08:16] <DinkyDogg> just did the modprobe command
[08:16] <DinkyDogg> aha
[08:16] <DinkyDogg> okay
[08:16] <DinkyDogg> that did it
[08:16] <ActionParsnip> DinkyDogg: edit /etc/modules and put the word floppy at the bottom, it will load in at bootup
[08:16] <DinkyDogg> thank guys
[08:16] <FloodBot1> DinkyDogg: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:16] <DinkyDogg> good to know
[08:16] <DinkyDogg> thanks
[08:16] <rww> DinkyDogg: No problem. You reminded me to go do that myself :)
[08:16] <ActionParsnip> np bro
[08:18] <ronin_> Anyone had the ubuntu install fail on installing vimo?
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> !info vimo
[08:19] <DinkyDogg> okay, next problem
[08:19] <DinkyDogg> my floppy drive is mounted upside down
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> ronin_: did you md5 check your iso as wellas verify the burned cd was ok on the first boot screen?
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> DinkyDogg: do you mean pysically?
[08:19] <DinkyDogg> yep
[08:20] <DinkyDogg> (i'm not expecting anyone to help me fix that one)
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> DinkyDogg: doesnt mater
[08:20] <DinkyDogg> true, but if people notice i'll be embarassed
[08:20] <ronin_> yeah just going though resuce to see if i can continue the install
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> DinkyDogg: then you gotta open the case and flip it
[08:21] <DigitalKiwi> turn your computer upside down to counteract the floppy being mounted wrong
[08:21] <ActionParsnip> DinkyDogg: i do mine upside down so the button is on top, saves leaning
[08:21] <ActionParsnip> DinkyDogg: or go for a sideways afair :)
[08:22] <abba> join #ubuntu.ru
[08:22]  * Spacin is still having issues... v.v
[08:23] <ActionParsnip> Spacin: can you please quit wit the v.v thing
[08:23] <ActionParsnip> *with
[08:23] <DigitalKiwi> why? :/
[08:23] <rww> Spacin: How about this. Explain what your problem is, using descriptive words to explain what you mean by words like "script", and we'll go from there.
[08:24] <defrysk> DigitalKiwi, its annoiing
[08:24] <ActionParsnip> cos its annoying and achieves nothing
[08:24] <DigitalKiwi> all emoticons or just v.v ?
[08:24] <DinkyDogg> O.o and >:[ are okay
[08:24] <rww> funny, i find the complaining more annoying than the emoticons v.v
[08:24] <Nytrix> :-)
[08:24] <ActionParsnip> Spacin: where is your script on your system?
[08:24] <Spacin> its in my home folder
[08:25] <DinkyDogg> <*-[[[[[-{
[08:25] <Doble> hi folks, anyone here from australia
[08:25] <ActionParsnip> Spacin: in the root of your home folder?
[08:25] <Spacin> rea
[08:25] <Spacin> yea*
[08:25] <defrysk> some have spent too much time in aolworld

[08:25] <abba> ау народ помогите решить задачу
[08:25] <ActionParsnip> !ru
[08:26] <DinkyDogg> ok, thanks again for the help, ActionParsnip and company, gonna reboot and see if my dos floppy adventure fixed my monitor. The plug and play values got corrupted and the only tutorial i found to fix them involved a dos floppy. Anyway, brb.
[08:26] <Spacin> its called 'nice colour script'
[08:26] <rww> Doble: try #ubuntu-au, the Australia local community team channel.
[08:26] <ActionParsnip> Spacin: ok np
[08:26] <Doble> okay, cheers
[08:27] <ActionParsnip> Spacin: run this interminal: chmod +x ~/nice\ colour\ script; sh ~/nice\ colour\ script
[08:27] <k1> anyone has any experience with kino? i'm trying to trim a DVD to a 5 minutes scene, kino does it but will only save it a .kino file which i cannot do anything with
[08:27] <DinkyDogg> excellent, it worked
[08:28] <rww> ActionParsnip: it's an xchat script, as far as I can tell. I don't think it's supposed to be run on the shell :/
[08:28] <Spacin> Can't open it
[08:28] <ActionParsnip> rww: interesting, can you advise through that. i dont use xchat
[08:29] <rww> Spacin: it's an XChat script, right?
[08:29] <Spacin> Its not specified for xchat
[08:29] <DinkyDogg> ActionParsnip, you're using pidgin?
[08:29] <DinkyDogg> or something else that uses lib purple?
[08:30] <Pepelargo> Hi all
[08:30] <rww> Spacin: do you happen to have a link to where you got it from, or something?
[08:30] <Spacin> My friend sent it to me by email
[08:30] <ActionParsnip> DinkyDogg: yep
[08:31] <Pepelargo> Anyone uses PDFEDIT? I installed it but I can't insert text on pdfs..the tool comes up, I can write text, but when I click on intro it dissapears
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> DinkyDogg: why do you ask?
[08:31] <rww> Spacin: Okay. Can you open it up and copy its contents into http://paste.ubuntu.com/, please?
[08:31] <Pepelargo> Anyway, I am just trying to edit a PDF in ubuntu, any other tool? thanks
[08:31] <DinkyDogg> just curious. I'm also looking for a good cli client to replace bitchx, since ubuntu doesn't support it anymore for security reasons, ActionParsnip
[08:32] <rww> DinkyDogg: irssi works pretty well and a lot of people use it. there's also weechat-curses, which is kinda nice
[08:32] <ActionParsnip> !irc | DinkyDogg
[08:32] <Spacin> Ok
[08:32] <DinkyDogg> rww and ActionParsnip, thanks, good to know
[08:33] <Spacin> Its pasted
[08:33] <rww> Spacin: okay, I see it ( http://paste.ubuntu.com/126168/ ). Give me a minute to check some stuff.
[08:33] <Spacin> ok
[08:34] <rww> Spacin: That's a script for a Windows-only IRC client called mIRC. I don't you're going to be able to use that in Ubuntu :/
[08:34] <Spacin> Awhh.. crappy
[08:34] <Pepelargo> anything to edit a PDF file in ubuntu?
[08:35] <joaopinto> Pepelargo, pdfedit
[08:35] <rww> Spacin: many IRC servers, channels, and clients block colors in IRC messages anyway, and many people find them annoying, so you're not missing much.
[08:35] <Spacin> I have 2 other scripts that I found on hawkee
[08:35] <Pepelargo> joaopinto, yeah but it is not working for me, I have a PDF file that I cant edit because it is LINEALIZED
[08:36] <rww> Spacin: (they wouldn't work at all in this channel, for example)
[08:36] <Pepelargo> joaopinto, I am trying to add new text and PDFEDIT doesnt allow me
[08:36] <joaopinto> :\
[08:36] <Spacin> Is there anywhere to find ones compatible with ubuntu?
[08:36] <ActionParsnip> !info pdfedit
[08:37] <rww> Spacin: http://digdilem.org/irc/ seems to be the most popular one for XChat.
[08:37] <adantan_alex> is there a possible way to install ubuntu inside windows on another drive and add it to the boot loader?
[08:37] <Spacin> Ok
[08:37] <kraut> moin
[08:37] <Pepelargo> I repeat, I don't have anyproblem installing PDFEDIT, in fact it is already working in my machine, the problem is that the linealized files are not supported
[08:37] <ziroday> adantan_alex: inside windows?
[08:37] <adantan_alex> as a windows application..
[08:37] <ActionParsnip> adantan_alex: you can install ubuntu on the other drive then windows will be added to grubs config
[08:38] <rww> Spacin: by the way, if you add scripts to XChat that talk in-channel or message other people automatically, please diasable them in this and other Ubuntu channels (they're against the !guidelines)
[08:38] <adantan_alex> never mind..
[08:38] <ActionParsnip> adantan_alex: if you install ubuntu within linux you will be running a virtual system
[08:38] <Pepelargo> It is a fact: PDFEdit won't "edit" linearized pdfs
[08:38] <Spacin> Ohh ok
[08:38] <ActionParsnip> adantan_alex: or theres wubi
[08:39] <Mark^^> hi, i was trying to get vncserver working-then suddenly it seems my xserver crashed/died? i cant load anything just get 'cannot connect to display errors#
[08:39] <Mark^^> what would have caused this?
[08:40] <ActionParsnip> Mark^^: ssh over and read the system logs
[08:40] <Pepelargo> Does OpenOffice open PDFs in some way I ignore?
[08:40] <Mark^^> ahh good idea ActionParsnip
[08:40] <Mark^^> what log specifically ? sorry if its obvious
[08:40] <ActionParsnip> dmesg | less is a good start
[08:40] <ziroday> Mark^^: /var/log/xorg.0.log
[08:41] <Mark^^> thanks ziroday  & ActionParsnip ;)
[08:41] <ActionParsnip> Mark^^: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LinuxLogFiles
[08:41] <Mark^^> cheers
[08:42] <rurouni27> :o i cant get ubuntu to boot up, it keeps on comming up with ata1.00 error messages
[08:43] <ActionParsnip> rurouni27: did you md5 check the iso you downloaded as well as verify the burned disk was correct on the first bootup screen?
[08:43] <rurouni27> i can still boot into a windows partition so i know that my hd hasnt crashed
[08:43] <rurouni27> iv already installed it, and this just happened out of nowhere
[08:44] <rurouni27> iv tried fsck but the results are strange
[08:44] <Sepero> rurouni27: Are the errors "IO" errors?
[08:45] <corinth> Anyone know the command that the show desktop applet uses?
[08:47] <rurouni27> probly, "[...] ata1.00: status: {drdy err} /n [...] ata1.00: error: {unc} \n ... : exception emask 0x.... \n ...bdma stat ... \n ...cmd ..."
[08:47] <adantan_alex> ?
[08:47] <Sepero> rurouni27: It is a sign of a harddrive failure if you get errors that say "IO" or "short read"
[08:47] <rurouni27> it doesnt say that
[08:47] <Sepero> rurouni27: good
[08:47] <rurouni27> yes!
[08:48] <rurouni27> i dont mind starting again but i want to get like a few files that i havnt got recent copies of
[08:48]  * Spacin can't find any colour scripts.. oh well. Thanks for the help though!
[08:49] <Sepero> corinth: I have no idea. Any special reason?
[08:49] <rurouni27> its a kernel error,  and i cant find it anywhere
[08:49] <FireBad> Is DVD95 and DVDShrink in WINE the only options besides KDE's k9copy?
[08:50] <rurouni27> when i tried fsck on gentoo min cd it also came up with the same kernel errors
[08:51] <corinth> Supero: None of your business!
[08:51] <Sepero> rurouni27: I'm not saying it's not a harddrive error. Just that it isn't one I'm used to seeing. I'm only used to working with ide drives.
[08:51] <corinth> J/k :-P
[08:52] <rurouni27> it cant be a physical problem though because i can boot up in windows
[08:52] <Sepero> rurouni27: So I wouldn't rule it out 100%, but I think your odds of a bad install have increased
[08:52] <Pepelargo> After 9 months using exclusively Ubuntu in for my work (even the rest of the people in the office is using XP and laughing at me)...I have to say that I could do everything I used to do before and much more, but only one bad point: So far I haven't found an email tool that works 100% corerct with exchange, Evoultion has lacks of options and get stuck, Thunderbird only thourhgt IMAP and no calendar, and very slow...nothing more.
[08:52] <Ficthe> hi. I plan to be installing ubuntu on an imac g5. I believe it's got the intel chip now, so the regular iso (that's also used for installation on PC's) should work on the imac g5, correct?
[08:52] <corinth> Sepero: I want to create a custom applet for show desktop. I don't like the box around the icon for the panel applet. I want to set a custom icon for it, too.
[08:52] <rurouni27> it was running fine for like a week
[08:52] <FireBad> !dvdcopy
[08:52] <rurouni27> actualy this has been running for quite a few months
[08:53] <Ficthe> Pepelargo, if nothing settles it - you can perhaps try outlook (or whatever the alternative was, that was working for you on windows) with Wine
[08:53] <Sepero> rurouni27: Most harddrives don't start having errors everywhere on the disk at once. Often the errors start in a localized area.
[08:53] <rww> Ficthe: iMac G5s use the G5 CPU, which is PowerPC, not Intel. The latest iMac (which is not a G5) uses an Intel processor.
[08:53] <rurouni27> Sepero: is there any way i can get anything off it
[08:54] <Pepelargo> Ficthe, yes, I am using codeblokers with Outlook 2003, but it is a pity to still need sticking on a Microsoft tool
[08:54] <Sepero> rurouni27: Use a LiveCD?
[08:54] <Ficthe> rww, oh really, hrm. so I would have to use the powerpc disc then, eh... just out of curioisity, are there any other linux distros that provide images for the powepc?
[08:54] <Pepelargo> But I just have to say that I am very happy with my UBuntu, and I wouldn't go back to Xp again
[08:55] <rww> Ficthe: I'm not sure. Back when the iMac G5 first came out, if was very poorly supported by Linux. I sold mine a while ago, and am not sure of its status now.
[08:55] <holyguyver> How do I fix this Bash:alsa reload lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon file system /home/jack/.gvfs Output information may be incomplete.
[08:55] <Sepero> corinth: Nice idea. Unfortunately, all I can do right now is suggest google. If you find out, I'd be interested in knowing though. :)
[08:55] <rurouni27> Sepero: i tried gentoo but it was getting the same problems
[08:56] <sylis> does Rhythmbox sync with ipods well?
[08:56] <Sepero> rurouni27: What do you mean by "get anything off it"? You want to backup the data?
[08:56] <Ficthe> rww, to be honest, I'm not completely sure if it's the iMac G5's that I'll be installing on (my school teacher just said I could install on a bunch.. they may possibly be the newers ones, with the intel processor.. I hope they are :)) in any case, thanks -- I'll gogle up as well to see what other alternatives exist
[08:57] <FireBad> Oh yes, while I am here.  I been having a problem with VLC turning "Blue" on me.  I log out and in , and it corrects the problem until it happens again.  What is the issue /
[08:57] <FireBad> ?
[08:57] <rurouni27> Sepero: yeh
[08:58] <holyguyver>  pulseaudio W: pid.c: Stale PID file, overwriting. ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid E: socket-server.c: socket(PF_INET6): Address family not supported by protocol
[08:58] <FireBad> This is also true for mplayer
[08:58] <cooldduuudde> FireBad: go to system >preferences> qt 4 settings. it might help. what do you mean by turning blue?
[08:58] <FireBad> (They turn blue together)
[08:58] <Sepero> rurouni27: Can you access the device/files with a LiveCD? If so, that is the way I would make a backup.
[08:58] <sylis> Does Rhythm Box sync well with an ipod
[08:59] <FireBad> cooldduuudde: I mean it's like an old crappy TV , where blue is turned up<PHONE_NUMBER>24903240230493204320%
[08:59] <FireBad> and 0 red
[08:59] <LinuxMint-Cholo_> hey im running linux mint and was wondering since the 'advanced desktop settings' option to opacify windows is not available there is another way?
[08:59] <Sepero> rurouni27: If you suspect that your harddrive is indeed dieing, you do not want to touch it until it is time to make backup.
[09:00] <FireBad> cooldduuudde: I don't see any "q" 's
[09:00] <joaopinto> LinuxMint-Cholo_, we don't support Linux Mint here, please find the appropriate channel :(
[09:00] <FireBad> cooldduuudde: in system -> preferences
[09:00] <LinuxMint-Cholo_> i CANT
[09:00] <LinuxMint-Cholo_> lol
[09:00] <LinuxMint-Cholo_> ok..
[09:00] <sylis> Yes or No to Rhythmbox syncing well with ipods?
[09:01] <sylis> Yes or No to Rhythmbox syncing well with ipods?
[09:01] <DinkyDogg> sylis, it should work (if that's what you want to do), but try amarok instead, it's a better program
[09:02] <cooldduuudde> FireBad: its qt 4 settings in preferences
[09:03] <james296> hey does anyone here use Crunchbang Linux?
[09:03] <corinth> Sepero: I'll let you know if I find anything out.
[09:03] <Sepero> LinuxMint-Cholo_: gnome-appearance-properties
[09:03] <FireBad> cooldduuudde: I just said I don't see a Q listed
[09:03] <Sepero> corinth: okie :)
[09:03] <joaopinto> james296, better ask on #Linux
[09:03] <ActionParsnip> !ot | james296
[09:03] <Mood> is Listen Music Player supposed to work out-of-the-box on a fresh install? or are there settings i need to play with?
[09:04] <james296> but its Ubuntu based lol
[09:04] <FireBad> cooldduuudde: Preferred Applications, then there is RemoteDesktop
[09:04] <corinth> Sepero: Happen to know how I can switch my default file manager from nautilus to PCman?
[09:04] <corinth> ;-)
[09:04] <joaopinto> james296, is not ubuntu, this channel is not for derivates support :)
[09:04] <cooldduuudde> FireBad: no....w8
[09:04] <FireBad> cooldduuudde: ??
[09:05] <james296> join #linux
[09:05] <slytherin> Mood: Considering that Listen uses gstreamer, I suppose you will need to install appropriate gstreamer plugins (if not already done).
[09:05] <Sepero> corinth: How do you normally start your FM?
[09:05] <Mood> slytherin: ah, i didn't realize there were dependencies that may not be installed on standard install. thanks for the heads up. going to google
[09:05] <error404notfound> when I try to upgrade my machine, I get: http://pastebin.com/m2f3664fd
[09:05] <corinth> Either the Places menu, my home launcher on the desktop, or through gnome-do
[09:06] <ActionParsnip> error404notfound: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[09:06] <slytherin> Mood: they are not dependencies. depending on the songs you are trying to play, you may need to install codecs
[09:06] <error404notfound> ActionParsnip: just did that :D
[09:06] <slytherin> !restricted > Mood
[09:06] <slytherin> !restricted | Mood
[09:06] <Sepero> corinth: Well, I guess nautilus comes up when you insert new media. I'm not really sure how to change that.
[09:07] <Mood> slytherin: ah ok. thanks for the pointers
[09:07] <rurouni27> why do i have a partition of type "linux plaintext", does anyone else have one?
[09:07] <rww> !mintsupport | LinuxMint-Cholo_ (for future reference)
[09:08]  * ActionParsnip does the VMware dance :D
[09:08] <Sepero> rurouni27: I've never heard of that.
[09:08] <Mood> slytherin: heh heh, i didn't realize mp3 was a restricted format :-P
[09:08] <rurouni27> run fdisk -l
[09:08] <slytherin> Mood: not many people even know what a restricted format is. :-)
[09:08] <rurouni27> its only a label though
[09:08] <ActionParsnip> rurouni27: that will need sudo
[09:09] <rurouni27> lol im admin
[09:09] <rurouni27> root*!
[09:10] <rurouni27> anyway it came with a default ubuntu install :o
[09:10] <Mood> slytherin: and i didn't realize the restricted format packet was 164 MB :-s
[09:10] <rc10> Squid you in here?
[09:10] <q0_0p> i have a question in gparted in the manage flags section what is lba?
[09:10] <Mood> package*
[09:10] <FireBad> It appears that the blue problem is part of nVidia
[09:11] <ActionParsnip> rurouni27: you shouldnt be
[09:11] <slytherin> Mood: what all packages are you installing?
[09:11] <ActionParsnip> rurouni27: logging in as root significantly cripples security
[09:11] <Sepero> rurouni27: It says "linux plaintext" on your fdisk -l output?
[09:11] <rww> q0_0p: Logical Block Addressing. Most modern partitions are large enough to need it.
[09:11] <Mood> slytherin: ubuntu-restricted-extras... it's > 160 MB :-{
[09:11] <slytherin> Mood: nah, you don't need all that.
[09:11] <rurouni27> ActionParsnip: im in a gentoo live cd and i know what im doing ..
[09:12] <q0_0p> do i need it if i'm making a ubuntu usb boot?
[09:12] <rurouni27> Sepero: yeh
[09:12] <slytherin> Mood: it is also installing sun jre
[09:12] <Mood> slytherin: ack
[09:12] <Sepero> rurouni27: I've never seen that before
[09:12] <ActionParsnip> rurouni27: yeah, running x and web apps as root, real secure
[09:12] <Mood> slytherin: too late... i'm in the midst of installing... i'll have to wait until it finishes before i uninstall it
[09:13] <Mood> messy... :-s
[09:13] <slytherin> Mood: is it installing or downloading only?
[09:13] <rurouni27> ActionParsnip: gentoo doesnt have x default and im not connected to the net on that computer
[09:13] <rww> q0_0p: Use LBA. If it doesn't work (it almost always does), go back and turn it off.
[09:13] <slytherin> Mood: if it is still downloading, you can cancel it.
[09:13] <Sepero> rurouni27: Does cfdisk also show "linux plaintext"?
[09:13] <q0_0p> k
[09:13] <q0_0p> thx
[09:13] <Mood> slytherin: i've got the ncurses sun-java6-jre config page :-(
[09:13] <q0_0p> thx
[09:13] <ActionParsnip> rurouni27: thats fine then, in ubuntu root logons are disuaded
[09:14] <slytherin> Mood: ok, finish that then
[09:14] <rurouni27> Sepero: yeh, its 213 mb :o
[09:14] <rurouni27> ActionParsnip: can you get su in ubuntu now?
[09:15] <ActionParsnip> rurouni27: yes but it doesnt setup the environment correctly, sudo -i  is prefferred
[09:15] <Sepero> rurouni27: Ah, I see it
[09:15] <Sepero> rurouni27: cfdisk shows "linux plaintext" as type 88
[09:15] <cooldduuudde> FireBad: type this in terminal and hit enter qtconfig-qt4
[09:16] <rurouni27> Sepero: :o lol yeh, wat is it for ?
[09:16] <Sepero> I have no idea
[09:16] <FireBad> cooldduuudde not installed
[09:16] <FireBad> it's not installed*
[09:16] <Sepero> rurouni27: But perhaps it's the reason you're not booting up?
[09:16] <Mood> slytherin: ok, i force failed it since i didn't agree with sun's agreement... now i can just sudo apt-uninstall, right?
[09:17] <rurouni27> Sepero: no, i dont think so
[09:17] <FireBad> cooldduuudde: shall I install it
[09:17] <Sepero> rurouni27: Linux partitions are supposed to be #83
[09:18] <slytherin> Mood: yes, apt-get remove
[09:18] <cooldduuudde> FireBad: yeah.
[09:18] <rurouni27> Sepero: :D i can mount / under gentoo
[09:18] <Mood> slytherin: here goes
[09:18] <rurouni27> Sepero: i think i might take what i need and start again
[09:18] <Surlent777> quick random question: I'm trying to batch download Ozy and Millie as a test of wget's power, and I'm getting a 403 forbidden error. Is there anything I can do, or anything I'm likely doing wrong? wget -nd -r -l1 --no-parent -A.gif -A.jpg http://www.ozyandmillie.org/comics/
[09:19] <Sepero> rurouni27: Ok. Also, you can easily change it to #83 under cfdisk by simply changing the "type" of partition.
[09:19] <mchelen> what is the best way to resize partition from command line?
[09:19] <ActionParsnip> Surlent777: if you clikc that hyperlink you get a 403 as well
[09:19] <Ficthe> mchelen, fdisk, or cfdisk
[09:20] <Surlent777> ActionParsnip: Yeah, I noticed that
[09:20] <rurouni27> Sepero: im just gonna delete it and start again
[09:20] <Mood> what should i do if i try removing a package and it fails? http://paste.ubuntu.com/126194/
[09:20] <Sepero> rurouni27: ok, best of luck. :)
[09:20] <rurouni27> ty
[09:20] <Surlent777> ActionParsnip: The comics reside in /comics/amxxxxxxxx.gif etc
[09:20] <rww> Mood: what's the output of sudo apt-get -f install?
[09:20] <Sepero> rurouni27: Remember, separate partition for /home. ;)
[09:21] <Mood> rww: i was scared to try... i'm trying it now
[09:21] <ActionParsnip> Surlent777: guess you gotta see if you can work around it
[09:21] <mchelen> Ficthe, how do you resize with cfdisk?
[09:21] <Mood> rww: it's trying to install sun java jre again
[09:22] <Mood> should i let a package complete the install before trying to remove it?
[09:22] <sophia> Anyone knows a good performance testing tool for mediaplayers?
[09:22] <Ficthe> mchelen, it's actually quite a long-winded and complex process, you best google up to find a resource that offers detailed instructions. and oh, don't forget to back up ;). good luck.
[09:22] <slytherin> Mood: do one thing, sudo apt-get --purge autoremove sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-jre
[09:22] <Surlent777> ActionParsnip: That's kind of what I was thinking. As far as I understand "*.gif" doesn't do much at all using wget, yet google assures me that the -A.gif thing should be the same as /comics/*.gif...I am greatly confused.
[09:23] <Mood> slytherin: should i purge it before i apt-get -f install?
[09:23] <Sepero> sophia: May I inquire why?
[09:23] <mchelen> Ficthe, is there any alternative besides running gparted?
[09:23] <ActionParsnip> Surlent777: try man wget if nobody can advise
[09:23] <slytherin> Mood: yes
[09:23] <Mood> slytherin: ok, here goes
[09:23] <ActionParsnip> Surlent777: its not something ive looked into
[09:23] <Ficthe> mchelen, yes. fdisk and cfdisk are two.
[09:23] <Surlent777> ActionParsnip: I tried the man page but so far have been unable to decypher anything useful
[09:24] <Surlent777> ActionParsnip: I guess I'll go to bed and then make this my life's mission tomorrow morning until I get bored
[09:24] <mchelen> Ficthe, okay so no middle ground
[09:25] <Surlent777> ActionParsnip: But thanks anyway
[09:25] <sophia> Sepero: Its my project, i have to check performance of video rendering process w.r.t graphics library
[09:25] <Mood> slytherin: strange... it seems to be installing some microsoft fonts...
[09:26] <slytherin> Mood: looks like ubuntu-restricted-extras pulls loads of packages. For you just installing gstreamer plugins would have been sufficient.
[09:26] <Mood> slytherin: should i try removing the package ubuntu-restricted-extras again?
[09:26] <sophia> Sepero: I have to check which library gives better performance
[09:26] <hmw> i want data for the "molecule" screen saver, but I remember, getting proteine data base stuff wasnt too easy (i only found one source where you could download one molecule at a time, and they were named after some catalogue, so I couldnt pick the "nice" ones) - can anyone of you feed my screen saver?
[09:26] <slytherin> Mood: nah, let it continue.
[09:28] <Sepero> sophia: Ah, sounds complicated. Personally, I would use only Mplayer, and set it to run at full speed over the multiple libraries with the audio off.
[09:28] <Mood> slytherin: phew! although i removed ubuntu-restricted-extras, i have a nagging feeling in the back of my mind that there's some garbage lying around somewhere, perhaps some runaway daemons... not sure...
[09:28] <Sepero> sophia: And time the results.
[09:28] <Sepero> sophia: Making sure dropping frames was turned off.
[09:28] <slytherin> Mood: no, nothing of that sort
[09:29] <savvas> hmw: you want more molecules for your screensaver? file a feature request at http://bugs.gnome.org
[09:29] <sophia> Sepero: I wanted to go through gnome-mplayer
[09:29] <hmw> savvas: one can put more data into the screen saver, but i tried getting stuff, wasnt very successful.
[09:30] <sophia> Sepero: And problem is there is no benchmark option in gnome-mplayer
[09:30] <Sepero> sophia: ok. I'm very doubtful any benchmarking software exists for that purpose.
[09:30] <Mood> thanks slytherin!
[09:31] <savvas> hmw: if you figure it out, let me know, I'm interested :)
[09:32] <hmw> savvas: youre here under this nick often?
[09:32] <Sepero> sophia: What you're asking is very weird, because a library may be able to run fast, but what good is that if the media is very lightly compressed? There appears to be too many factors.
[09:32] <savvas> hmw: yep, it's registered :)
[09:32] <sophia> Sepero: can you please tell me why we turn off dropping frames?
[09:32] <savvas> hmw: if you can't find me, /msg memoserv savvas yourmessage and I'll read it - thanks by the way!
[09:33] <Sepero> sophia: Because dropping frames causes certain parts of the video to be completely skipped.
[09:33] <hmw> savvas: i noted your name and will tell you, if i get something. I can start trying to find that horrible download page again and figure out, how to put the data into the screen saver. (docs say, its possible)
[09:33] <hmw> My nickname seems to be registered already. How do I find out, if the registrar is still using the nick name?
[09:34] <sophia> Sepero: ok
[09:34] <savvas> hmw: /msg nickserv info hmw
[09:34] <Sepero> sophia: For example, I have the same media in two formats. Same video, but first format is 10MB, second format is 100MB. Which would you guess is going to run faster?
[09:35] <Sepero> sophia: Even if they are both 10MB, one could be lower quality than the other, making a huge difference.
[09:35] <hmw> okay, last seen dec'07... i wont get the ops to unlock it for me :((
[09:37] <Sepero> sophia: I'm not saying it isn't a noble thing to try and benchmark though. I just think that you may be in over your head with this project.
[09:38] <sylis> Is Rhythmbox good at syncing with an ipod
[09:38] <Mood> slytherin: i only installed "gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3" and now Listen works like a charm! thanks!
[09:38] <max82fr> Hi everyone
[09:38] <max82fr> how are u doing?
[09:38] <ziroday> sylis: yes, rhythmbox can sync ipods
[09:39] <suzao> greetz. can anyone please help me with simple solution for getting higher resolution with settings for nvidia driver 177 on card 7600gs
[09:39] <suzao> ?
[09:39] <max82fr> Can anyone tell me if it is possible to install itunes with wine and if it will work with ipod touch??
[09:39] <ziroday> suzao: are you running the nvidia driver?
[09:39] <sophia> Sepero: ok i am bit confused regarding my project.. but any how i have to report performance of different libraries.
[09:39] <DinkyDogg> suzao, what resolutions does it offer?
[09:39] <kr00l> does anyone know of a program that will auto backup files to an external HDD?
[09:39] <sylis> well? Or it just does, I've done a little research and seen a few alternatives, but can't really find a review of sorts for them
[09:39] <ziroday> max82fr: the old versions of itunes work with wine, but why?
[09:40] <ziroday> sylis: well what exactly are you looking for?
well im trying to setup my ipod touch to work with ubuntu but there s no way
[09:40] <ziroday> max82fr: what version of ubuntu?
[09:40] <Sepero> sophia: No offense, but I would select another project. I do not think you are going to get results of any value from gnome-mplayer.
 8.10 i think
[09:41] <sylis> mainly a utility that will allow me to create playlists and will sync with my ipod.  Rhythmbox looks good, but, I haven't been using it for long enought o know if it's better, and I'd rather try and figure that out now before I go and put all the time and energy into it creating playlists etc and then get told there's a better app out there
 sorry got cut off
[09:41] <Sepero> sophia: Acknowledging that you don't know what frame-dropping is, I personally think your experience in this area is much too low.
[09:41] <ziroday> max82fr: right, well wine+itunes won't work
[09:42] <max82fr> what should i d
[09:42] <DinkyDogg> sylis, try amarok
what should i do?
[09:42] <sylis> will do
[09:42] <ziroday> max82fr: one sec
[09:42] <suzao> can anyone please help me with simple solution for getting higher resolution with settings for nvidia driver 177 on card 7600gs
[09:42] <max82fr> k
[09:42] <ziroday> suzao: are you running the nvidia driver?
[09:42] <DinkyDogg> suzao, i already responded to your question. What resolutions is it offering you?
[09:44] <ubp123> why the Rhythmbox being unable to presetting the shoutcast radio at this Unbuntu version.. and why only the ice radio might work well with the streamripper here..i mean the ice radio only but the shoutcast no working in order at ubuntu setting ?
[09:44] <ziroday> max82fr: right, basically unless your touch is jailbroken you can't sync it in ubuntu as the apple has changed the database encryption
[09:44] <sophia> Sepero:  yes i am new to this area since i am a student i need to learn a lot
[09:44] <DinkyDogg> wow, they're encryption the database, ziroday ?
[09:44] <DinkyDogg> that really sucks
[09:45] <DinkyDogg> how completely lame
[09:45] <FloodBot1> DinkyDogg: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:45] <Nazmi> hi

[09:45] <Nazmi> hi
[09:45] <brundy> bonjour
[09:45] <ziroday> DinkyDogg: not really, its more of a checksum type thingy. But basically ipod touch = no workie
[09:45] <sophia> Sepero:  Anyways thanks for your suggestions..
[09:45] <Nazmi> I'm from turkey
[09:45] <Sepero> DinkyDogg: Thank you!
[09:45] <brundy> somebody in french ? Thanks
[09:45] <jimmyspark> Hey can anyone help me - my sound on this desktop has been playing up since i upgraded, i've tried everything, I wanna nuke everything to do with sound and start again. Can anyone help me do that?
[09:46] <DinkyDogg> Sepero, no problem, though i'm not sure how i helped you
[09:46] <Cyclist> does anyone knows of a tabbed dual-paned file manager for Ubuntu 8.10 [even through emulators like Wine {I have tried ''xplorer2'' under Wine but it does not work...}]?
[09:46] <ziroday> !fr | brundy
[09:46] <Sepero> sophia: Yeah, I'm sorry I couldn't give you better news. :\
[09:46] <ubp123> in turkey..most loving the birds like penguins lots lol
[09:46] <ziroday> Cyclist: dolphin works
[09:46] <brundy> merci
[09:46] <Sepero> DinkyDogg: ipod = lame
[09:46] <DinkyDogg> ah
[09:46] <DinkyDogg> lame indeed
[09:46] <Sepero> Somebody had to say it
[09:47] <sophia> Sepero:  :-)
[09:47] <Cyclist> ziroday: is Dolphin the emulator of is it the file manager?
[09:47] <ziroday> Cyclist: err dolphin is a dual paned file manager, whats the emulator for?
[09:47] <jimmyspark> how do I remove alsa, pulse audio and OSS off my system entirely so i can reinstall them all?
[09:47] <Nazmi>
[09:47] <Nazmi> you will pardon question
[09:48] <ubp123> hmmm, with your aptitude or apt get remove command doing nothhing ???
[09:48] <Cyclist> ziroday: I mentioned the emulator because it is possible that no such applications currently exist for Ubuntu 8.10 in the repository
[09:48] <jimmyspark> ubp123: i remove them that way but then they are still listed in my sound preferences
[09:49] <ziroday> Cyclist: well there is, dolphin works and I know there is others :)
[09:49] <ubp123> if you can or ,as far as you could watch the file..you can remove with the rm command with your hands or manually i suppose ?
[09:51] <Sepero> jimmyspark: try synaptic. And remember to use the "purge" to wipe the config files too
[09:51] <Cyclist> ziroday: another question: is Dolphin also offering tabs? because I know Nautilus works on a dual pane mode [with tabs], but I would rather not use it
[09:51] <Sepero> jimmyspark: "purge" option, i mean
[09:51] <jimmyspark> cheers Sepero -ill try the purge option
[09:51] <mejobloggs> i've put a floppy in the floppy drive but can't see it anywhere. how do i access it?
[09:51] <ziroday> Cyclist: not sure if dolphin offers tabs sorry, install it and try it out :)
[09:52] <Cyclist> ziroday: thank you
[09:52] <ubp123> using the ubuntu system,,mejobloggs ?
[09:52] <jimmyspark> when i try to remove alsa-utils it also removes gdm?!
[09:53] <ziroday> mejobloggs: take a look in /media and /dev/floopy or /dev/fd0
[09:53] <mejobloggs> yeah ubuntu
[09:53] <slytherin> mejobloggs: floppy module is not loaded by default. try this command - sudo modprobe floppy
[09:53]  * Lazeur_ brb
[09:53] <slytherin> jimmyspark: must be some recursive dependency
[09:53] <jimmyspark> Sepero: any idea why when i remove also-utils it says it will remove gdm too?!
[09:53] <jimmyspark> shall i do it?
[09:54] <jimmyspark> and then reinstall gdm?
[09:54] <Sepero> jimmyspark: dependacies
[09:54] <jimmyspark> here goes nothing
[09:54] <Sepero> jimmyspark: dependencies
[09:54] <rww> mejobloggs: "sudo modprobe floppy" to activate the floppy module. "sudo nano /etc/modules" and add "floppy" at the end to keep it activated.
[09:54] <mivok> when you remove a program with synaptic it shows you the programs are going to be deleted
[09:54] <Sepero> jimmyspark: gdm depends on it for some reason
[09:54] <ubp123> since you would agree to remove gdm..perhaps you can use another kde or alternative session system ???
[09:54] <mejobloggs> ok thanks i can see the floppy now
[09:55] <IdentifyTarget> can someone help me install lirc 0.8.4a using apt-get? I compiled it and installed on my own but it's not working quite right
[09:55] <jimmyspark> ubp123: i don't wanna use kde
[09:55] <ubp123> lol
[09:56] <ubp123> neither.. i am a novice and originally liking gnome lol
[09:56] <ziroday> jimmyspark: alsa-utils in an important part of the system, removing it will probably remove a whole bunch of stuff. Why are you removing it anyway?
[09:56] <jimmyspark> i've done it now
[09:56] <jimmyspark> doing pulse audio too
[09:56] <jimmyspark> my sound is totally messed up on this desktop (my work computer)
[09:57] <ziroday> jimmyspark: so you decided to randomly delete important sound parts
[09:57] <jimmyspark> every morning i come in and i cant play sound, so i have to mess around /sbin/alsa --force-reload etc to get it working
[09:57] <jimmyspark> yeah i wanted to nuke the sound and reinstall it from scratch
[09:57] <jimmyspark> i've tried everything else
[09:57] <ziroday> jimmyspark: I strongly doubt reinstalling the sound system(s) is going to fix your problem.
 sorry got badly cut off
 my XChat Gnome doesn t want to work anymore
[09:58] <jimmyspark> reinstalling it all now
[09:58] <Sepero> jimmyspark: I have the same thing
[09:58] <slytherin> jimmyspark: have you tried changing the sound preferences in System -> Preferences -> Sound?
[09:58] <jimmyspark> im sure it's since upgrading to the latest ubuntu...
[09:58] <Sepero> jimmyspark: But I always leave my pc running
[09:58] <ziroday> max82fr: right, basically unless your touch is jailbroken you can't sync it in ubuntu as apple have changed the database encryption
[09:58] <jimmyspark> i don't have these issues with computers running ibex
[09:58] <jimmyspark> just jaunty
it is already jailbroken
[09:59] <ziroday> jimmyspark: jaunty is #ubuntu+1
[09:59] <ubp123> basically.. you have installed the actual sound cards with your new systems lol
would you please help me going through
[09:59] <Sepero> jimmyspark: I have the problem on Intrepid
[09:59] <slytherin> jimmyspark: are your packages fully updated?
[09:59] <jimmyspark> slytherin: yeah i've tried that, i've tried setting up to use oss, alsa & pulseaudio - this morning the sound control pannel was hanning every time i open it so i just decided enough was enough!
[09:59] <rww> jimmyspark: Jaunty is an unsupported developer release. You should be asking about it in #ubuntu+1, not here.
[09:59] <ziroday> max82fr: there is some great documentation for already jail broken devices at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone
worked that out believe me, but nothing worked
[09:59] <jimmyspark> oops - i mean the problem is on ibex!
looking for some real help
[10:00] <slytherin> jimmyspark: you may want to check if glitch-free is turned off in /etc/pulse/default.pa
[10:00] <slytherin> jimmyspark: check the thread on ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list in last month.
[10:00] <ziroday> max82fr: right, have you installed the ipod-convenience package?
[10:00] <max82fr> yep
yep
[10:01] <ziroday> max82fr: okay, how about gtkpod?
have it too, along with amarok
[10:01] <Sepero> jimmyspark: If it only happens whenever you boot. You could just put a startup script in that reloads alsa for you.
[10:01] <jimmyspark> other guys at work are having sound issues too since upgrading - not as severe as mine but they keep loosing sound playback randomly
[10:01] <ziroday> max82fr: okay, connect it via usb and then open a terminal and run ipod-touch-mount
[10:01] <jimmyspark> flash seems to cripple the sound too
[10:01] <rww> jimmyspark: what's the output of "uname -a"?
[10:02] <ubp123> why the famous amarok needs the ugly stream plugins ? teach me ???
[10:02] <jimmyspark> Sepero: it happens randomly 20 times per day
[10:02] <jimmyspark> Linux jimmywork 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Thu Jan 29 19:24:39 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
[10:02] <Sepero> jimmyspark: Then I'd make a shortcut to a reload script on my desktop. :)
[10:02] <hph_guy> how can I redirect the output of a program like wget to a file and make it run in the background?
[10:02] <Sepero> jimmyspark: but yeah, that sucks
[10:03] <slytherin> hph_guy: wget url > output.txt &
[10:03] <rww> ubp123: certain audio formats, including mp3, are restricted by patents and other problematic stuff. the "ugly" plugins package contains files to help media players play those formats.
[10:03] <max82fr> ziroday> it s trying to mount it via wifi as someone tried to help me doing
[10:03] <max82fr> ziroday> don t want that. i want USB
[10:04] <hph_guy> slytherin: that still prints output to stdout as well as to the file
[10:04] <jimmyspark> lol just totally reinstalled still not working....
[10:04] <ziroday> max82fr: err okay, well disable wifi on the ipod then
[10:04] <ubp123> thanks for info, rww, but most geeks.. any formats could be converted to legal acceptable ones without notices ???
[10:04] <max82fr> ziroday> done, do u know what to do to make it work via USB?
[10:05] <ziroday> max82fr: well did you try itunnel?
[10:05] <ziroday> max82fr: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone#Syncing%20via%20Cable
[10:05] <rww> ubp123: no, some can't. Continuing the mp3 example, *all* implementations of mp3 decoding (playing) are covered by various patents, and thus require notice.
[10:05] <max82fr> ziroday> nope. I should maybe say that when i plug it, it puts a camera icon on desktop and starts amarok
[10:05] <Asyed> hello guys , i've installed ubuntu wubui on my pc with windows vista , the installation done on Drive D
[10:06] <max82fr> ziroday> but amarok cant connect to it
[10:06] <rww> ubp123: I think one has the patent fee paid for by some organization, but the point still stands. It's a legal thing, not something we can code around.
[10:06] <koshar2> ubp123 true they can be converted but cannot be supplied on the distro disc as it would infringe with laws in some countries
[10:06] <Asyed> when i pick ubtuntu during booting i got error msg
[10:06] <ziroday> max82fr: take a look at itunnel
[10:06] <Asyed> and cant access it , if the installation done on C  partion its work other partions not
[10:06] <Asyed> any clue ?
[10:06] <ubp123> okie..but to me without notices all mp3 files have been converted to any other mpeg files lol..who accepting instead of me lol
[10:07] <max82fr> ziroday>  don t understand all that honestly. had ubuntu for 3 days
[10:07] <max82fr> ziroday> please help
[10:07] <rww> ubp123: do you speak another language as your main language? I could redirect you to a foreign-language support channel that might be able to explain this a little easier...
[10:07] <ziroday> max82fr: well I can't help you much, don't have an ipod touch sorry.
[10:08] <max82fr> no one has an ipod touch on here??
[10:08] <max82fr> ziroday> on itunnel it explain how to connect it via wifi, not USB
[10:08] <ubp123> no thank you,, because i dont touch any other' s copyrights and not doingwrong at all. lol
[10:08] <Sepero> Asyed: It might be a restriction by the bios. I once had a problem like that on a laptop.
[10:08] <rww> ubp123: okay. Do you still have a question we can help you with, then?
[10:09] <Asyed> Sepero im using laptop too , and how dd you fix it?
[10:09] <Guest56980> how do you find out what kernal you are using?
[10:09] <Sepero> Asyed: Sell the laptop
[10:09] <slytherin> Guest56980: uname -r
[10:09] <ubp123> thanks.. upon going on chatting. if can get addtional questions.. let me ask more to you.. thanks
[10:09] <Asyed> Sepero lol no other options ?
[10:10] <Guest56980> thanks
[10:10] <ubp123> i mean, nope lol
[10:10] <Sepero> Asyed: Unfortunately not. You could stick to running Ubuntu in emulation perhaps.
[10:10] <panesar_sandeep> !aptoncd
[10:10] <Guest56980> is there a way to downgrade the kernal?
[10:10] <Sepero> Asyed: virtualbox or something
[10:10] <Asyed> Sepero  or install it on driver C ,
[10:10] <Sepero> Asyed: yea
[10:11] <panesar_sandeep> is there way to create .iso or some other cd/dvd images of the packages...
[10:11] <Sepero> Asyed: I assumed you wanted it to be dual boot
[10:11] <slytherin> Guest56980: You can install two versions of kernel if that is what you are looking for.
[10:11] <Guest56980> yes
[10:11] <Guest56980> now how can i do that? this is for testing valve server since the latest error
[10:11] <Asyed> Sepero true ,  wana test all before move to ubuntu ,
[10:11] <panesar_sandeep> my dvd-rw is broke at the moment
[10:11] <Guest56980> servers*
[10:11] <panesar_sandeep> is there way to create .iso or some other cd/dvd images of the packages...my dvd-rw is broke at the moment
[10:11] <Sepero> Asyed: ok
[10:12] <panesar_sandeep> !aptoncd
[10:12] <slytherin> panesar_sandeep: what does dvd-rw being broken has to do with creating an iso
[10:12] <koshar2> panesar_sandeep personal repository
[10:13] <Sepero> panesar_sandeep: say what?
[10:13] <panesar_sandeep> slytherin, so that i can create an iso img of the packages and give to my friend via usb pn drv

[10:13] <koshar2> panesar_sandeep it need not be an image, just a dir on the usb device is sufficient

[10:14] <Guest56980> what was the kernal version before 2.6.27?

[10:18] <mejobloggs> oops
[10:18] <koshar2> Guest56980 may i ask why you beleive you need an earlier kernel
[10:18] <rhythmsoup> max82fr: when you plug in your iPod does it show up on the desktop as mounted?
it shows as a camera
[10:18] <Sepero> mejobloggs: Yes, "IO" error = dead
[10:19] <mejobloggs> :(
[10:19] <central> ???
[10:19] <rhythmsoup> max82fr: and you want to transfer pictures to / from it? sorry i assumed it was music
everything just like in windows, videos too
[10:19] <Sepero> mejobloggs: I wish I could give you my old ones. I just threw away like 30 yesterday.
[10:20] <Guest56980> so does any one know how i can down grade the kernal?
[10:20] <Sepero> mejobloggs: Most of them never used
[10:20] <Guest56980> using wubi?
[10:20] <mejobloggs> Sepero hah yeah. this was like... the only one in the whole house i could find
 im lost and annoyed really. can t get it to work
[10:21] <rhythmsoup> max82fr: have you tried asking on the ubuntu forums? or searching on there?
[10:21] <koshar2> Guest56980 i dont know what the default kernel version was for the first version of ubuntu that featured wubi but its possable you may not be able to, why do you want an earlier kernel?
i tried everything. it s crazy no one's able to help
[10:22] <ubp123> speaking of down grade.. some of here can down grade to the not xor display..free86 display lol ???
[10:22] <rhythmsoup> max82fr: im not sure how recent the iPod touch is, im not 100% au fait with all of apples products
[10:22] <Guest56980> i installed ubuntu inside windows but i dont know how to downgrade the kernal..
[10:22] <rhythmsoup> max82fr: if its an old device then chance are the is a driver available
[10:22] <max82fr> rhythmsoup> a year old or so
[10:23] <oCean_> Guest56980: Ubuntu works very well with iPods, except the iPod Touch, iPhone, and any other future generation
[10:23] <rhythmsoup> max82fr: if its more recent then usually windows drivers appear first (im speaking very generally here)
[10:23] <oCean_> Guest56980: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPod?action=show&redirect=IPodHowto
[10:23] <max82fr> Does anyone have an IPOD TOUCH in here? Please?

[10:26] <max82fr> I can t believe no one has one here!
[10:26] <ubp123> in short, i would do with my unknow usb memory for my linux machine at home
[10:26] <Sepero> Guest56980: Downgrading the kernel is easy
[10:26] <oCean_> max82fr: did you read the article i send -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPod?action=show&redirect=IPodHowto
 yes about 10 000 times
[10:26] <oCean_> max82fr: it's not gonna work
[10:27] <Sepero> Guest56980: Just install the kernel you want, then uninstall all others.
 i don t know what to do
[10:27] <Sepero> Guest56980: and reboot
[10:27] <max82fr> gotta get rid of Ubuntu and go back to windows if nothing works like that

[10:28] <mih> problem with cups + kerberos, anyone pls ?
[10:28] <max82fr> help me please people
[10:28] <arvind_khadri> !ask | mih
[10:28] <ubp123> it sounds my unknow cheap usb device is enough anytime at my home use lol
[10:28] <rww> !helpme | max82fr
[10:29] <rhythmsoup> max82fr: thing is though its not really ubuntu's "fault" that iPod touch isnt supported, the vendors should ring-fence in their hardware to certain OSes, but I understand your fustration
[10:29] <rhythmsoup> should = shouldnt
[10:29] <ubp123> but this slow repeated silly questions are precious to go on chatting as a actual communications lol
thanks
[10:30] <arvind_khadri> !ipod | max82fr
[10:30] <rhythmsoup> max82fr: you can run a windows VM on ubuntu, to be honest i still have a couple of windows knocking around the home
[10:30] <max82fr> lol
[10:31] <rhythmsoup> running a whole VM just for one device seems a bit mad though I grant you
[10:31] <Sepero> !ipodtouch
done that but still doesn t work
[10:31] <rhythmsoup> where i work we have to use a cisco IP phone and web conferencing software which only runs on windows
[10:31] <mih> ok, I have ubuntu intrepid, with cups 1.3.8, kerberos joined the AD domain, and an xp mahine from which I want to print to the linux box, where I want to have a release point : domain user from windows should enter the password again, for releasing the job on ubuntu.
[10:32] <arvind_khadri> !samba| mih
[10:32] <Guest56980> i have installed ubuntu inside windows but i want to downgrade the kernal.. how do i do that?
[10:32] <arvind_khadri> Guest56980, while you get the grub menu boot into the older kernel
[10:32] <Guest56980> wait! i understand!
[10:32] <Guest56980> haha im silly
[10:33] <CTShadow> how do i block all web sites (except some) for certain users
[10:34] <rhythmsoup> !ufw

[10:43] <CTShadow> how do i block all web sites (except some) for certain users
[10:43] <rhythmsoup> Riya: i think aircrack is for testing the security of your own wireless networks its a "hacking tool"

[10:53] <ActionParsnip> ronin_: is it installing or downloading?
[10:53] <disappearedng> so I just do a unrar e file.r00 and it will automatically unrar all of it ?
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> disappearedng: yes
[10:53] <disappearedng> ok cause I think one of them is corrupted
[10:53] <ronin_> it was installing... network was disconected after the first tie it failed
[10:53] <Sepero> ZachFlem: gpdf is the default for gnome
[10:53] <ubp123> what's the file for ajusding such inconvinices..for the sake of choice of the right sound card ?
[10:53] <savvas> disappearedng: did you install rar or unrar first?
[10:53] <disappearedng> yeah

[10:54] <savvas> ah ok
[10:54] <ActionParsnip> ronin_: ah, if its only downloading you can stop it, the net break may have caused a bad package
[10:54] <CTShadow> savvas: that looks cool, bu can i also block the sites only for certain users?
[10:54] <Sepero> ZachFlem: Or at least I thought it was??
[10:54] <ronin_> i reformated all the partitions on each try must be something weird with the drive or the cd i thinks
[10:54] <[[thufir]]> how do you install sockstat?

[10:55] <joerack> is there a Swfobject for ubuntu?
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> !find swf
[10:55] <sprinkmeier_> ronin_, did you run mediacheck?
[10:55] <OrangeKyo> hi, when i start up ubuntu, it does routine check of drive sdb1 and hangs. i have to press esc to make it skip.  there might be something wrong with my filesystem, and i think i should do fsck. but i have to unmount the drive first? how do i do fsck on my linux drive?
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> !info swfobject
[10:55] <ubp123> that dangurdian..is it proxy ?
[10:55] <joerack> !info swfobject
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> OrangeKyo: boot to root recovery partition or run it from live cd
[10:56] <savvas> ubp123: apt-cache show dansguardian
[10:56] <OrangeKyo> ok got it
[10:56] <OrangeKyo> thank you
[10:56] <ubp123> thanks for info, savvas
[10:56] <CTShadow> savvas: is there a good tutorial, how to configure those programs. i have already tried a bit with those, but never acchieved the wished result
[10:56] <apadox> when you live boot ubuntu is it posible to copy some files to ramdisk then to free your cd cdrive so you can  burn cd
[10:56] <ubp123> while the squid was a famous proxy lol
[10:56] <juro> from the command line, how can I find out which process is taking how much memory, sorted by memory usage?
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> ubp123: and snort
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> juro: top
[10:57] <balrog__> is there an easy way to downgrade from ubuntu-desktop to ubuntu-server?
[10:57] <mih> cups + kerberos problem
[10:58] <ubp123> hmmm you are an admin who is using such managiment cute pig software ?? great, ActionParsnip
[10:58] <juro> ActionParsnip, top tells me that over 3GB/4GB of memory is used but the percentages are too low to add up to that
[10:58] <Sepero> balrog__: install ubuntu-server package?
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> ubp123: i dont use it, i just know of it
[10:58] <Guest56980> where can i download kernal 2.6.18?
[10:58] <balrog__> Sepero: does that get rid of ubuntu-desktop?
[10:58] <ubp123> okie ???
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> balrog__: desktop to server isnt really an upgrade or downgrade
[10:58] <vfrc> @ juro: use top or htop in cli to see process mem/cpu use
[10:58] <Sepero> balrog__: uninstall ubuntu-desktop package?
[10:59] <savvas> ubp123, CTShadow: there is also a simple firewall program, check ApplicationS > Add/Remove > search for "Firewall configuration" or simply "firewall" and see what your options are for a nice graphical user interface (GUI) :)
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> !find 2.6.18
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> Guest56980: do you mean 2.6.28?
[11:00] <juro> vfrc, htop looks good - thanx
[11:00] <Guest56980> no
[11:00] <balrog__> ActionParsnip: well, true, but i wanted to say that i wanted to remove ubuntu-desktop and all graphical utilities
[11:00] <Guest56980> i want to test out the valve bug on server using the kernal 2.6.18
[11:00] <ubp123> you know.. before fixing my policy on how to use my ubuntu machine.. i cannot touch any my firewall setting.. because it may cause any addtional pandora ouches lol
[11:01] <_ruben> www.kernel.org
[11:01] <Guest56980> !lol
[11:01] <balrog__> Sepero: i did that and when i try to autoclean with synaptic, it warns me that i might my system unusable.  does that warning just mean im going to lose the GUI?  i think it tries to remove stuff like acpi...

[11:02] <Sepero> balrog__: I suggest startin with simple stuff like uninstall xserver
[11:02] <joerack> is there anything "like" swfobject for ubuntu?
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> joerack: whats it do
[11:03] <apadox> when you live boot ubuntu is it posible to copy some files to ramdisk then to free your cd cdrive so you can  burn cd
[11:03] <vfrc> does anyone know of a good *batch* mkv to avi converter similar to windows alltoavi?
[11:03] <joerack> ActionParsnip: it embeds swf in blogs like wordpress
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> vfrc: make a script
[11:03] <Stevethepirate> Good program to record whats happening on the screen into a video?
[11:03] <BobSapp> apadox: I dont think so, since alot of the programs would probably run from the cdrom
[11:04] <Stevethepirate> I recall a program called screencast a while back.
[11:04] <Stevethepirate> But i'd prefer something in the repos
[11:04] <kyledr> how do i get video output to work with mplayer to a projector or tv? normal stuff works but not mplayer or vlc or stuff like that
[11:04] <Sepero> vfrc: linux users take a single commands and turn them into scripts
[11:05] <oCean_> Stevethepirate: recordmydesktop
[11:05] <BobSapp> apadox: try something like puppy linux, that boots from the cd and exists only in ram, so you can then burn cds or do whatever you like
[11:05] <apadox> thx BobSapp
[11:05] <nijan> Excuse me, how to auto-login using xfce Dm (gdm I suppose)
[11:05] <Stevethepirate> oCean_: LOL, ta.
[11:05] <ubp123> could you install mplayer at ubuntu without touching other audio systems, Kyledr ?
[11:05] <Sepero> vfrc: Microsoft users need special programs for many things that linux users normally create a simple script for.
[11:05] <oCean_> Stevethepirate: what's in a name, right? :p
[11:05] <Stevethepirate> Hell yeah.

[11:06] <balrog__> Sepero: but, xserver-input-kbd is important, right?
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> vfrc: use one of those lines in conjunction with find -exec, hugely powerful
[11:06] <Sepero> balrog__: Not if your not going to be using xwindows
[11:06] <ubp123> i has asked you if you can finish your installing mplayer at ubuntu machine without any problem
[11:06] <Sepero> balrog__: You only need that package for a gui
[11:07] <juro> vfrc, thanks - htop does the trick
[11:07] <vfrc> Action & sepero: i have tried making a script but keep hitting walls. i cannot get mencoder to recognise mkv's. when trying a script for ffmpeg i cant get it to select subtitles in the mkv
[11:07] <ubp123> am asking Kyledr..
[11:07] <kyledr> ubp123: i successfully installed mplayer. it works fine, but not to a projector
[11:07] <vfrc> juro: np
[11:07] <balrog__> Sepero: okay, thanks!
[11:07] <britmap> apadox: or http://insert.cd is another small linux - use the "toram" boot option to free up the cd drive (or make a USB boot stick!)
[11:07] <balrog__> ActionParsnip: thanks for your help and the link
[11:08] <vfrc> Action: thanks ill give some of those a go
[11:08] <ubp123> thanks for info, and on the projector...unable to guess any regardign ubuntu matter
[11:08] <Sepero> vfrc: Converting videos can be a challenge, it is true.
[11:09] <Sepero> vfrc: Lemme have a look at the manpage real quick. I'm pretty familiar with mplayer
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> vfrc: you'll want something like: fin . -name "*.mkv" -exec <stuff> \;
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> vfrc: use {} to signify the found file
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> vfrc: fin == find (typo)

[11:11] <Guest84547> how do i change the kernal version using windows boot loader? im using windows vista boot loader
[11:11] <apadox> my notebook doesnt allow to boot from usb so is it possible to install ubuntu on usb but use live cd to mount usb than boot from it
[11:11] <Chousuke> vfrc: remember to wrap the {} in quotes so it won't break if it has spaces
[11:11] <histo> Guest84547: does the windows boot loader point to grub?
[11:11] <Guest84547> no no i installed ubuntu inside windows
[11:12] <iceman_> How can I play 'gnome-chess' online?
[11:12] <Guest84547> using windows xp boot loader i could get to the option but i cant now
[11:12] <histo> Guest84547: so how do you boot linux then?
[11:12] <Sepero> vfrc: What command did you use with mencoder?
[11:12] <Guest84547> it appears in windows boot loader..
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> Guest84547: i'd use grub instead as its waaaaay more flexible than ntldr
[11:12] <BrixSat> hello
[11:12] <histo> Guest84547: well after its selected it should say something along the lines of hit esc for grub menu
[11:12] <vfrc> Action: thanks for the help. im still somewhat new to bash scripting so ill have a read around and find how to implement ur solution

[11:15] <vfrc> Sepero: thanks. im just looking for the script i have been using
[11:15] <apadox> ActionParsnip: i know that, i was asking if I can boot from cd just to mount that usb and continue booting from there without need for usb because my notebook doesn-t support booting from usb
[11:16] <BobSapp> BrixSat: Did you forget to add the "h" to your nick?
[11:16] <ActionParsnip> apadox:  dont believe so, what netbook / laptop is it?
[11:16] <Sepero> vfrc: Scripting is the easy part, I can do that for you. Do you have the code to convert 1 video from mkv to avi?

[11:20] <Sepero> Azzco: You could uninstall all pulseaudio packages. But I would recommend you record which ones you remove, just in case.
[11:20] <ghm33> what do i check if my ubuntu 8.10 laptop networking not connecting to any network incldg wifi?
[11:20] <ghm33> i have tried starting / stopping / restarting networking
[11:20] <ubp123> when your using some other audio like Rhythmnboix (?) your pulseaudio file might created at /tmp ????
[11:21] <Azzco> Sepero, is there some way to duplicate output between devices with alsa then? (Would like to hear amarok for example in both headset and normal device and that was possible with PA yesterday when headset was recognized.)
[11:21] <BrixSat> another question! i have to make sudo modprobe ath5k  && sudo athload ath5k every time i need wifi can i automate it?
[11:21] <ActionParsnip> apadox: apparently, as soon as you turn the device on hold down f12 and you may be able to choose usb to boot
[11:21] <trokep> part

[11:21] <Sepero> Azzco: I have no idea
[11:21] <ActionParsnip> apadox: you may be able to use the alternate cd to get  a prompt then fire up grub from there
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> apadox: i get what you mean though, its a weird one
[11:22] <ghm33> pls help networking does not work incldg wifi what do i check am using 8.10
[11:22] <vfrc> Sepero: found the ffmpeg command. it converts the video and audio fine but doesnt grab subtitles
[11:22] <Azzco> Sepero, why did you recomend removing pulse audio?
[11:22] <vfrc> Sepero: -r 29.97 -vcodec libxvid -vtag XVID -s 320x240 -aspect 4:3 -maxrate 1800k -b 1500k -qmin 3 -qmax 5 -bufsize 4096 -mbd 2 -bf 2 -flags +4mv+trell -aic 2 -cmp 2 -subcmp 2 -g 300 -acodec libmp3lame -ar 48000 -ab 128k -ac 2
[11:22] <Sepero> Azzco: Because alsa can work fine without pulseaudio
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> apadox: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/11/15/usb-boot-cd-for-ubuntu-810/#more-680
[11:23] <ghm33> pls help networking does not work incldg wifi what do i check am using 8.10
[11:23] <arvind_khadri> Azzco, pulseaudio is yuck :)
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> ghm33: is it usb or internal?
[11:24] <vfrc> Sepero: those are the options i have been using in conjunction with the preceding ffmpeg infile.mkv outfile.avi
[11:24] <ghm33> ActionParsnip, internal
[11:24] <Sepero> vfrc: I assume you tried the option "-scodec copy"?
[11:24] <BrixSat> ghm33:  what do you want is to put your wifi card to work?
[11:24] <Sepero> vfrc: To copy the subtitles?
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> ghm33: lspci will identify it for oyu
[11:24] <ghm33> BrixSat, wifi and lan not working
[11:24] <Azzco> arvind_khadri, yeah I know. But I can't find any other way to start my games with my headset as output
[11:25] <arvind_khadri> Azzco, 8.10 ?
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> ghm33: if you get a result from: sudo iwlist scan then its installed ok. if no devices support scanning you will need to find out how to driver it up
[11:25] <BrixSat> ghm33:  do youy have enabled restricted drivers?
[11:25] <vfrc> Sepero: yeah but from my understanding, scodec is asking for a subtitle file as opposed to grabbing a subtitle stream from the mkv
[11:25] <Azzco> arvind_khadri, yupp
[11:25] <ghm33> ActionParsnip, my laptop is msi wind u100x, used to connect fine lan and wifi, just stopped for no apparent reason
[11:25] <arvind_khadri> Azzco, my headset didnt work with pulse i shifted to alsa.... if you want you can try my blog on how to setup alsa...
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> ghm33: then read through: dmesg | less
[11:26] <ghm33> ActionParsnip, done, what am i looking for
[11:26] <Sepero> vfrc: If the mkv has the subtitles in it, then they should be copied with the option "-scodec copy".
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> ghm33: its a big read but will identify our hardware coming up and getting installed, if you recently did a kernel upgrade then this could be the cause
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> ghm33: just any errors or warnings
[11:26] <Azzco> arvind_khadri, itech7?
[11:26] <BrixSat> i have to run sudo modprobe ath5k  && sudo athload ath5k to get wifi every time, can i automate it?
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: sure, whack it i a script
[11:27] <ubp123> as far as using Linux.. alsa sound system is best subject to disavailable the soundcard manufacturers's original dirvers ??
[11:27] <arvind_khadri> Azzco, whats that?
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: top line should be: #!/bin/sh
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: second line is your command you just gave
[11:27] <BrixSat> ActionParsnip:  and what about the sudo comands? will it accetp?
[11:28] <CTShadow> how can i block all web sites except a few on a per-user base? the server is an ltsp-server
[11:28] <Azzco> arvind_khadri, just googled arvind blog ubuntu. Guess that was not it, can you link me to the blog you mentioned?
[11:28] <Sepero> vfrc: The -scodec argument takes a codec name, not a file.
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: save the file and chmod +x it
[11:28] <vfrc> Sepero: do you think a subtitle stream can be specified in the case where there are multiple streams or the default is 0?
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: if you run sudo <script name> it will authorise the rest
[11:28] <BobSapp> if you call sudo for the script it should be ok shouldnt it?
[11:28] <ghm33> ActionParsnip, am reading thru it but youre right about being a long read
[11:28] <BrixSat> ActionParsnip:  but i wanted it automated :D
[11:28] <ghm33> ActionParsnip, cant really see anything peculiar
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> ghm33: it will be, just skim
[11:28] <Daft_Punk> if i want to block a file type from ever coming to my system via IM, irc, website or whatever, (say .exe file) how could I do that?

[11:28] <ghm33> ActionParsnip, ok

[11:28] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: when should it automatically happen?
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> !bum
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> !startup
[11:29] <oCean_> BrixSat: put the command in /etc/rc.local
[11:29] <Sepero> vfrc: I would try your normal command, and just add "-scodec copy" into it.
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> BrixSat: if they are in the /etc/rc.local they will be ran as root
[11:29] <Sepero> vfrc: trial and error
[11:29] <BrixSat> nice ;D
[11:29] <arvind_khadri> oCean_, no thats a lazy hack BrixSat
[11:30] <BrixSat> arvind_khadri:  why?
[11:30] <vfrc> Sepero: true true. ill give scodec copy a try and if it works post a working script in the ubuntu forums. thanks for the help
[11:30] <ActionParsnip> arvind_khadri: life is a sequence of hacks
[11:31] <Sepero> vfrc: ok
[11:31] <RusHh> hello
[11:31] <arvind_khadri> BrixSat, as rc.local is run as root and for modules you have /etc/modules
[11:31] <BrixSat> so where should i put it?
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> arvind_khadri: it needs removing then reinstalling
[11:31] <RusHh> this channel only english discussion ?
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> arvind_khadri: not ust installing
[11:31] <BrixSat> i have in rc.local i hope it runs :+
[11:31] <arvind_khadri> ActionParsnip, one can be blacklisted...

[11:34] <Azzco> arvind_khadri, that helped a bit. now I've got my headset set as default device. but I guess I can allways just switch back default, reload alsa and start when I want to use my other device. :)
[11:34] <futurama140> I want to switch back to windows but my bios no longer detects my CD drives, can someone help me fix that?
[11:34] <Sepero> CTShadow: If the users have any intelligence, they will just circumvent it anyway.
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> ghm33: ok then try: sudo lshw -C network
[11:34] <CTShadow> BrixSat: my boss said he would like to have a solution like iptables or someting like that. i have already suggested that plugin
[11:34] <C-S-B> futurama140, switch back to what?
[11:34] <futurama140> windows
[11:34] <futurama140> xp
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> CTShadow: i dont think iptables will look at the user accessing
[11:35] <arvind_khadri> Azzco, cool ... i never tried switching back.. i hate pulseaudio
[11:35] <ghm33> ActionParsnip, done, what is this?
[11:35] <C-S-B> i heard you but why?
[11:35] <C-S-B> futurama140, check your boot order in the bios
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> futurama140: its not an ubuntu problem then is it
[11:35] <simplexio> futurama140: if bios dosent detect cdrom drive, chech your cables (and bios if cdrom is disabled)
[11:35] <CTShadow> Sepero: right, that would be the next point
[11:35] <oCean_> talto1: put the --exclude= at end of command

[11:37] <ActionParsnip> CTShadow: yeah just noticed, nice guide though
[11:37] <oCean_> vak: dhclient

[11:39] <ghm33> ActionParsnip, the ethernet / networking controller? its a realtek semiconductor rtl8101e

[11:40] <Sepero> vak: I can't say anything about what should be done because I don't know what the goal is.
[11:40] <oCean_> vak: I have dhclient
[11:40] <CTShadow> ActionParsnip: thanks! have you already tried the gui applications?
[11:40] <simplexio> futurama140: ? probably bios sees it because it works in linux,check boot order etc..

[11:42] <RusHh> awn was disabled, but standart panel not found ^_^
[11:42] <Sepero> vak: You want to change your DNS servers?
[11:42] <RusHh> It`s magic..
[11:42] <oCean_> vak: dhcdbd provides a D-Bus interface to dhclient, the DHCP client from ISC, so applications such as NetworkManager can query and control dhclient.
[11:42] <RusHh> where is standart pannel (((
[11:42] <H3l1c0pt3r> ok im using irssi for my irc client and i was wondering if there is an option (i couldnt find it in man) to align the names in a column so the typed text doesnt go under peoples nick names in chat, as well as everything starting at the same tabbed line (so its not so confusing to read)
[11:43] <oCean_> vak: dhclient should be running though.
[11:43] <arvind_khadri> Azzco, ???
[11:43] <quibbler> RusHh: you have a panel on top of your screen?
[11:43] <Azzco> arvind_khadri, I will, just tried out something :)
[11:44] <arvind_khadri> Azzco, ok thanks :)

[11:45] <ActionParsnip> futurama140: have you changed the master / slave jumpers on any of them
[11:45] <vak> Sepero: No. I just would like to figure out where the problem is. First I'd like to figure out which DNS-resolving basis has my Ubuntu-box ;)
[11:45] <vak> oCean_: so, would it be right to say it does the bind9's job? (bind9 doesnt seem to be running on my box, although dnsutils are installed)
[11:45] <futurama140> actionparsnip: no i havent
[11:45] <simplexio> futurama140: strange problem...
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> futurama140: if they are PATA you will need one master and one slave on each controller
[11:46] <ghm33> ActionParsnip, how do i boot using recovery mode? it suggest i do that
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> futurama140: make sure each has power
[11:46] <adantan_alex> hey can i use a centOS kernal for ubuntu?
[11:46] <vak> oCean_: how to do it? could I just restart some service?
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> ghm33: reboot pc, start pressing ESC, grub menu will show up and you can select recovery mode for your kerne
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> l
[11:46] <quibbler> RusHh: alt+F2  gnome-panel
[11:46]  * vak is fearing that daemon restart will kill next remote access even...
[11:46] <futurama140> actionparsnip: they dont have jumpers actually
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> futurama140: try just having one CD drive for now, then add the others in slowly
[11:47] <Sepero> vak: I think he means disconnect/reconnect to the internet
[11:47] <adantan_alex> hey can i use a centOS kernal for ubuntu?
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> futurama140: are they PATA?
[11:47] <ghm33> ActionParsnip, thanks
[11:47] <oCean_> vak: you do have remote access? So the box has a valid ip?
[11:47] <vak> oCean_: yes
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> adantan_alex: no as the centos kernel is compiled for centos
[11:47] <futurama140> no, SATA
[11:47] <rww> adantan_alex: No. If you somehow manage to do it anyway, it'll probably break, cause problems, and not be supported by us or centos anyway.
[11:47] <futurama140> erm, wait, yes they are PATA
[11:48] <ActionParsnip> futurama140: then i garuntee they will have a jumper on the back
[11:48] <ActionParsnip> futurama140: to set master or slave
[11:48] <adantan_alex> ok
[11:48] <oCean_> vak: hmmm. I was about to suggest restart networking, but that is not an option since you have remote access... Indeed you *may* loose access completely
[11:48] <adantan_alex> is there a 2.6.18 for ubuntu?
[11:48] <futurama140> ok currently i have one drive in, i can see the jumper clearly and it is in the master position
[11:49] <vak> oCean_, Sepero: may restarting of  /etc/init.d/dhcdbd help?
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> futurama140: on one ribbon you have a master and a slave, if you have 2 masters or 2 slaves on a ribbon they will conflict and you wont see either
[11:49] <vak> oCean_, Sepero: or it is also could kill remote access?
[11:49] <rww> adantan_alex: not in any supported releases of Ubuntu, no. That kernel's pretty dang old.
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> futurama140: come to #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:49] <Sepero> vak: Just about anything you do will kill remote access.

[11:55] <ghm33> ActionParsnip, hi still no network for me
[11:56] <oCean_> vak: you could try /etc/init.d/network (or networking, whatever it's called) with start option (not stop) and see if that *maybe* renews the dhcp lease. But still a bit tricky if your only access is remote

[11:57] <ghm33> ActionParsnip, any idea how to get that to happen ?
[11:57] <oCean_> Sepero: vak you just want to try 'start' to see if (any) (not) running dhcp client process renews the lease
[11:58] <Sepero> oCean_: I still say just reboot. Seems like a fluke to me.

[12:03] <rww> max82fr: You realize that Apple doesn't want the iPod Touch to work with Linux, right? That it used to work and now does not? That it's not due to laziness on our part or something? As a factoid I sent you earlier says, "Answers are not always available."
[12:03] <Psykus> i have tried multiple burns so i've ruled out some sort of media error, even past ubuntu versions I have do the same thing on this system
[12:04] <Sepero> vak: Screwing around with any of that stuff risks you permanently losing your connection. Unless you're not worried about that, I would just reboot the box.

[12:06] <rww> max82fr: Go find some operating system that your $200 shiny is allowed to work on, and use that. It's really not our fault that your bought a locked-down product.
[12:07] <Psykus> no ideas on my problem? dell optiplex systems don't like ubuntu?
[12:07] <vak> Sepero:  I am not sure if understand your point...
[12:07] <vak> Sepero: I just have no needs to reboot he machine since year...
[12:07] <glandon> does anyone care about using a microphone on linux
[12:08] <glitsj16> glandon: did you configure your mixer settings correctly ?
[12:08] <vak> Sepero: the DNS trouble came just today. I think your an oCean_'s idea about leases could be right.
[12:08] <Psykus> i've reset the bios settings to factory defaults, same deal
[12:08] <Sepero> vak: Well, now you do have need. Apparently you've had a year to setup reboot capabilities in the system, and you didn't.  Reboot capabilities ARE available. I just do not want to get into situation when after reboot I have even more majour trouble then "DNS doesn't respond"
[12:10] <vak> *than
[12:12] <vak> I just would like to figure out before restart what s going on...
[12:12] <Sepero> vak: The DNS thing will likely resolve itself upon reboot. If you have other problems arise, it doesn't make sense to delay addressing them anyway.
[12:12] <vak> OK
[12:13] <vak> you have convinced me. im rebooting
[12:13] <vak> ;)
[12:13] <oCean_> vak: renewing the lease will get you at a point, same as networking restart, that for a very short period there is no network at all. If you can connect the box trhough kvm or other means.. then you're in a better shape
[12:13] <Sepero> vak: good luck
[12:14]  * vak looks for a big gun and to big silver bullets just for a case if server doesn't get up :)

[12:28] <linduxed> sayhello: do you have the latest kernel?
[12:28] <suzao> :-) ;-)

[12:28] <elad`> How do I permanently export AL_DIR="somedir"?
[12:29] <sayhello> okay, thanks
[12:29] <savvas> Riya: have  you tried with super grub disk?
[12:29] <MenZa> sayhello: it works excellently on my ar242x
[12:29] <oCean_> elad`: put in in your ~/.profile
[12:29] <elad`> (And if that can work from anywhere, not just from within the bash shell, that would just be super.)
[12:29] <suzao> does anyone know what i edit to get 1280x1024 (offhand)
[12:30] <elad`> oCean_, exactly what should the line look like? The other lines in that file are odd.
[12:31] <savvas> Riya: download the cdrom version of super grub disk and boot using the cd. it will attempt to help you fix it :) http://www.supergrubdisk.org/index.php?pid=5
[12:32] <elad`> Help?
[12:32] <MenZa> elad`: exactly like what you typed.
[12:32] <elad`> Just that line? Can't I remove the word "export"?
[12:33] <sayhello> menZa: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath5k#Enablingath5k is this something to do with the terminal? I can't figure out how I would implement the instructions
[12:33] <sayhello> sorry, i'm a newbie
[12:33] <MenZa> echo "export AL_DIR=\"somedir\" | tee -a ~/.profile
[12:33] <MenZa> err, add a " to that after the \"
[12:34] <elad`> So I do need the word "export". OK. Now, when is that file loaded?
[12:34] <MenZa> elad`: Every time you login, iirc.
[12:34] <Leonheart> a question not about ubuntu, but maybe i can find some clue here :P

[12:38] <Lezeur> hmm
[12:39] <Blank`laptop> bleh... xubuntu + wine + utorrent seems to be a bad idea
[12:40] <scunizi_> why bother with utorrent in wine while there are lots of native clients?
[12:40] <Psykus> i liked rtorrent when I used ubuntu
[12:40] <mneptok> scunizi_: amen
[12:40] <mneptok> scunizi_: i'd even go so far as to say "better"
[12:41] <scunizi_> I agree mneptok
[12:41] <Psykus> utorrent is :D though
[12:41] <Blank`laptop> scunizi_: private torrent sites
[12:41] <Blank`laptop> >.<
[12:41] <MenZa> I like deluge. It's a lot like µTorrent.
[12:41] <mneptok> MenZa: *hardly*
[12:41] <mneptok> MenZa: (which is why i use it) ;)
[12:41] <MenZa> Same basic layout, a lot of the same options...
[12:42] <rhsanbor1> Can anyone recommend the best filesystem to get the most performance out of Samba? I currently have an external hard drive to hold music shares for the house and my laptop backups and it's so slow as to be unusable for that purpose (4.4Mb/s)
[12:42] <mneptok> MenZa: a headless torrent daemon process connected to a local GTK UI is something uTorrent only dreams about. ;)
[12:42] <ziroday> Blank`laptop: you can use vuze, that should support everything and an awful lot more then you need.
[12:42] <rhsanbor1> It's going over wireless, but good signals all around, theoretical 54Mb/s, should get at least 20-40Mb/s
[12:42] <MenZa> Well yes, mneptok. I mean from a usability point-of-view.
[12:42] <BernieMadoff> Guys I have a Question
[12:43] <BernieMadoff> Question: how can i copy paste from ubuntu to windows
[12:43] <mneptok> rhsanbor1: have you tested with an actual cable?
[12:43] <ziroday> rhsanbor1: so the server is connected via wireless to the router to the wireless computer?
[12:43] <MenZa> BernieMadoff: What do you mean?
[12:43] <ziroday> mneptok: bet me to it :(
[12:43] <BernieMadoff> Question: how can i copy paste from ubuntu to windows, i got irc on ubuntu, i want to copy and paste into windows
[12:43] <rhsanbor1> Wireless on both ends, no, I haven't done it over the wire... <-- dreading the idea.
[12:44] <ziroday> rhsanbor1: try wire, it will probably be an awful lot faster :)
[12:44] <rhsanbor1> I suppose I can take them off the main network to test it. Router is at the other end of the house.
[12:44] <MenZa> BernieMadoff: Windows where? A different computer? Another partition?
[12:44] <scunizi_> mneptok: ziroday also for rhsanbor1 's benefit.. isn't samba running sambafs most of the time?
[12:44] <BernieMadoff> MenZa, yes, windows on different pc
[12:44] <ziroday> Scunizi: no, smbfs is what you mount on your computer to access the samba share (well its one of the ways)
[12:44] <C-S-B> try rdesktop
[12:44] <scunizi_> k
[12:44] <C-S-B> and remote to the PC
[12:45] <Myrtti> BernieMadoff: use pastebin
[12:45] <rhsanbor1> I'm currently running it as ext3, I don't like ntfs-3g because it doesn't handle failures well.
[12:45] <mneptok> rhsanbor1: i doubt the local fs is the cause of the performance problem.
[12:46] <Riya> what is airmom-ng
[12:46] <ziroday> Riya: it is a tool to put your wireless card into monitor mode
[12:46] <C-S-B> its part of the aircrack suite
[12:46] <Riya> what is airmon-ng ?
[12:46] <rhsanbor1> mneptok: good deal. I'll try it over the wire. thanks for the help.
[12:46] <mneptok> Riya: a question so nice you asked it twice.

[12:48] <ziroday> elad`: rm -r <dir>
[12:48] <elad`> "Couldn't delete file: Failure"
[12:49] <elad`> Couldn't stat remote file: No such file or directory
[12:49] <elad`> Removing /home/root/-r

[12:51] <scunizi_> BernieMadoff: are you running one of them in a vm?
[12:51] <BernieMadoff> no
[12:51] <BernieMadoff> different
[12:51] <C-S-B> BernieMadoff, you can either remote to the windows pc and paste between them or use a kde switch
[12:51] <scunizi_> ktm switch?
[12:51] <C-S-B> kvm
[12:51] <C-S-B> oops
[12:51] <BernieMadoff> kvm software based?
[12:51] <glitsj16> BernieMadoff: have you tried using synergy yet ?
[12:52] <BernieMadoff> no

[12:53] <scunizi_> werdnum: what version of ubuntu?
[12:53] <elad`> What's the command for deleting a given dir, and all its contents, from an SFTP server?
[12:53] <elad`> Say the server is<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[12:54] <BernieMadoff> glitsj16 thanks!
[12:54] <mneptok> elad`: if you have SFTP you probably have ssh. just use the shell.
[12:54] <suzao> any simple solution to get resolution?
[12:54] <scunizi_> elad`: why use sftp to do it.. log in with ssh
[12:54] <elad`> I'm writing a script to update the files on a robot.
[12:54] <glitsj16> BernieMadoff: you're welcome, synergy works just fine .. goodluck with it
[12:54] <BernieMadoff> yeah

[12:55] <elad`> I want the script to delete all of the files currently on a certain dir, and replace them with the new ones.
[12:55] <elad`> So, help?
[12:55] <mneptok> elad`: run a cron job on the local host to move things.
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> !grub | riya
[12:55] <scunizi_> mneptok: maybe he's looking for the correct syntax to put in the script
[12:56] <elad`> Scunizi, I am.
[12:56] <scunizi_> It's all in how the question is phrased :)
[12:56] <mneptok> elad`: the SFTP syntax is the same as FTP
[12:56] <elad`> sftp "rm -r /home/root/zzz/" -P<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[12:56] <elad`> Or something?
[12:57] <ActionParsnip> elad`: rmdir
[12:57] <mneptok> elad`: rm -r is shell.

[13:06] <vladuz976> nice
[13:06] <vladuz976> that was helpful
[13:07] <mneptok> ActionParsnip: errr ... you want something where the actual ssh libraries that ensure security are provided to you from a website? that, IMO, is like asking "does anyone know a place at the amusement park that i could hang my car keys?" ;)
[13:07] <vladuz976> could someone do a quick apt-cache search monodevelop and confim the version?
[13:07] <scunizi_> ActionParsnip: anyterm & ajaxterm according to wikipedia

[13:08] <mneptok> vladuz976: why "should" it be at 1.9.2?
[13:08] <vladuz976> ActionParsnip: that should have 2.o

[13:08] <clifu> hi. I installed ubuntu 8.10 and everything worked perfectly, then I installed the 'important security updates' and now x is hosed. It won't start.
[13:08] <clifu> what do I do?
[13:09] <mneptok> vladuz976: the latest packages on the developer site will not tell you what to expect in Ubuntu's repos.
[13:09] <ActionParsnip> clifu: boot to root recovery console and run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[13:09] <Pici> !latst
[13:09] <vladuz976> mneptok: oh wait, that was mono1.9 not monodevelop
[13:09] <vladuz976> how risky is jaunty at this time?
[13:09] <ActionParsnip> vladuz976: i only know what ubottu knows in this case
