[00:00] <ralf_> so i right click on desktop creat a launcher ..anyone know the command?
[00:00] <pfred1> Typos_King yes the -f switch
[00:00] <ikonia> wizard00: correct
[00:00] <ikonia> pfred1: that version is newer than the one you need, so I'm not sure what the problem is ?
[00:00] <wizard00> thank you very much!!! :)
[00:00] <wizard00> ubuntu rocks though ;)
[00:00] <pfred1> ikonia Package `libgtk2.0-dev' is not installed and no info is available.
[00:00] <histo> wizard00: no
[00:00] <hellburner> is there a simple way to install a newer version of wine?  the one in karmic is old
[00:00] <ralf_> this will be a brilliant help and i d be blogging about it just want my neighbour on net
[00:00] <kla> ralf_, command to do what, exactly?
[00:00] <histo> wizard00: you can install software on 8.04
[00:00] <ikonia> pfred1: ok so what's stopping you installing it ?
[00:00] <pfred1> ikonia what part of 'it won't install" are you having difficulties understanding?
[00:01] <Typos_King> wizard00.... I don't think so, depends on what you want to install for that matter, 8.x is still supported anyway
[00:01] <jumar> ralf_ the first thing you do on the desktop is right-click, create laucher, set an icon, set a command, and it should work, but i just dont know the command right now, so we gotta ask someone
[00:01] <ikonia> pfred1: you're not telling me why it won't install, error message for example
[00:01] <pfred1> ikonia I guess Ubuntu's broken package manager is the problem!
[00:01] <ikonia> pfred1: I don't think it's broken at all
[00:01] <ikonia> pfred1: could you explain the error you're having
[00:01] <ralf_> thanks jumar I will try and look it up on google .. i did try but i will give it another go
[00:01] <histo> jumar: what do are you trying to do?
[00:02] <daniskami> ralf_: try gnome-session-save --logout
[00:02] <histo> ralf_: what are you trying to do?
[00:02] <wizard00> ok. sweet. im a newb. should i dual-boot ubuntu5 and ubuntu 8?
[00:02] <pfred1> ikonia if I issue the command sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev and I get the message libgtk2.0-dev: Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (= 2.18.3-1) but 2.18.3-1ubuntu2 is to be installed I see a problem
[00:02] <Typos_King> pfred1     don't think is the package manager, is the fact you're trying to install an older app which requires such lib, and the newer in place conflicts with it, is an app version issue
[00:02] <histo> wizard00: why would you do that?
[00:02] <wizard00> idk.
[00:02] <histo> wizard00: What are you trying to accomplish?
[00:02] <ikonia> !info libgtk2.0-0
[00:02] <wizard00> nothing
[00:02] <ikonia> !info libgtk2.0-dev
[00:02] <jumar> oh, nothing, trying to help ralf_ for a gnome-session commandline version what out of he can make a shutdown button on the desktop
[00:02] <kla> wizard00, if you have no reason to dual boot, just install fresh
[00:02] <histo> wizard00: okay are you just trolling then or do you have a question.
[00:02] <wizard00> i just heard that linux is for advanced users only
[00:03] <histo> wizard00: nope
[00:03] <histo> wizard00: you said you were using 8.04?
[00:03] <ikonia> pfred1: just installed it - it works fine, so the problem is either a.) you've not done an sudo apt-get update first b.) you've put additional repos in that create a conflict
[00:03] <jumar> he's started googling, but i must go, please histo help him, i dont have gnome-session installed, thanks bye!
[00:03] <wizard00> using 5.10
[00:03] <daniskami> jumar: ralf_: gnome-session-save --logout
[00:03] <ikonia> wizard00: you said 4 earlier
[00:03] <Typos_King> ikonia in 9.1?
[00:03] <histo> jumar: me neither I don't knwo what he is trying to do
[00:03] <pfred1> ikonia OK so I need to remove repos then?
[00:03] <jumar> ralf_ daniskami got it check it out
[00:03] <histo> daniskami: you'll prolly have to send ralf a pm since he left
[00:03] <wizard00> oh. srry im using 5. there a difference?
[00:03] <ikonia> pfred1: depends, do you have additional repo's ?
[00:04] <pfred1> ikonia heck if I know
[00:04] <histo> wizard00: there is in 5
[00:04] <jumar> histo make a launcher for the desktop for shuting down the machine
[00:04] <ikonia> pfred1: could you pastebin your sources.list ?
[00:04] <jumar> gotta go, bye
[00:04] <ikonia> pfred1: try a sudo apt-get update first though,
[00:04] <pfred1> ikonia if I knew where to find it
[00:04] <histo> jumar: ahh yeah daniskami has it.
[00:04] <wizard00> so i cant install software. it says its unavailable
[00:04] <ikonia> pfred1: /etc/apt/sources.list
[00:04] <pfred1> ikonia did that over an hour ago
[00:04] <ikonia> wizard00: no, the distro is dead, end of lifve
[00:04] <histo> wizard00: what says unavailible?
[00:04] <ikonia> pfred1: I haven't seen it
[00:04] <pfred1> ikonia must be why i told you
[00:04] <histo> wizard00: yeah the repositories aren't there any more.
[00:04] <daniskami> histo: bad luck ;)
[00:04] <kla> wizard00, no wonder. Just use a CD.
[00:05] <wizard00> Audacity. (audio editing soft)
[00:05] <Typos_King> ....
[00:05] <histo> wizard00: you can move your home to a seperate parition then install fresh and all your documents and stuff would be there.
[00:05] <ikonia> pfred1: ok - so pastebin your sources.list as that must be the only other answer
[00:05] <Typos_King> wizard0   can't install anything in 8.x?
[00:05] <pfred1> ikonia ok sec
[00:05] <Cristobal> dog white
[00:05] <wizard00> idk how to do that
[00:05] <histo> Typos_King: no he says he's running 5 now
[00:05] <ikonia> Cristobal: stop please
[00:05] <Typos_King> IIRC is still supported and the repos are still there
[00:05] <ikonia> Cristobal: I've told you the rules of this channel
[00:05] <Typos_King> 5?
[00:05] <histo> Typos_King: begining to think he is a troll
[00:05] <Typos_King> holy!    that's ..... rather oldie
[00:05] <Cristobal> persian canarian
[00:07] <kla> So later all :)
[00:07] <pfred1> ikonia http://pastebin.com/0z1U7LSy
[00:08] <ikonia> pfred1: that looks perfect,
[00:08] <rmatte> aha, finally got automounting working, needed to install halevt and use hal-mount once on the device, now it automounts it
[00:09] <Typos_King> halevt....
[00:09] <pfred1> ikonia I sort of wished there was a problem because I'm no closer to a solution to not being able to install the dev package i need here
[00:09] <ikonia> pfred1: when you do a "sudo apt-get update" what happens ?
[00:10] <pfred1> ikonia let me run it again I don't remember anything important happening really
[00:10] <Guitch> Bonsoir!
[00:11] <randomusr> what software will allow me to get my laptop's webcam working?
[00:11] <ikonia> !webcam | randomusr
[00:11] <Typos_King> !fr | Guitch
[00:11] <pfred1> ikonia ikonia http://pastebin.com/0HeVYq0S
[00:12] <ikonia> pfred1: interesting, I don't think you've given me a compelte sources.list as apt-get update is checking medibuntu - but you've not got that listed in sources.list
[00:13] <pfred1> ikonia I pasted what i found
[00:13] <ikonia> pfred1: any files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d ?
[00:14] <ZykoticK9> ikonia, medibuntu installs into (you got it) sources.list.d
[00:14] <pfred1> ikonia medibuntu.list
[00:14] <ikonia> pfred1: comment out the deb lines in that file, and then re-run apt-get update
[00:14] <bliffle> Ubuntu 9.10, Thinkpad X60s, no audio, but audio OK on the XP partition. What's up?
[00:14] <ikonia> I doubt its medibuntu - but that's all I can see
[00:16] <Typos_King> I have the file.... for that lib, and I don't think it came from the medibuntu site
[00:16] <ikonia> Typos_King: I agree
[00:16] <Typos_King> pfred1.... got a site I can upload... or email....if that's all you need
[00:16] <ikonia> Typos_King: however that is the only external repo, and I've just checked us.archive.ubuntu.com and it's serving the correct versions
[00:17] <pfred1> ikonia it was a little different but libgtk2.0-dev still errors out
[00:17] <ikonia> pfred1: what stood out as different ?
[00:17] <duffydack> !grub
[00:17] <pfred1> ikonia update took a little longer
[00:18] <pfred1> ikonia I still get E: Broken packages
[00:18] <ikonia> pfred1: which package is it complaining is broke ?
[00:18] <pfred1> ikonia   libgtk2.0-dev: Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (= 2.18.3-1) but 2.18.3-1ubuntu2 is to be installed
[00:18] <randomusr> ikonia: thank you!
[00:19] <pfred1> ikonia its just not accepting 2.18.3-1ubuntu2 as a dep for (= 2.18.3-1)
[00:19] <ikonia> pfred1: do a "apt-cache policy libgtk2.0-0" - please pastebin the output
[00:19] <pfred1> ikonia OK
[00:20] <pfred1> ikonia http://pastebin.com/px4VwCnv
[00:20] <ikonia> pfred1: which is totally right
[00:20] <pfred1> ikonia yes
[00:20] <ikonia> pfred1: ok - I wonder, last ditch attempt
[00:21] <nutz> hi all
[00:21] <ikonia> pfred1: cd /var/cache/apt/archives
[00:21] <pfred1> ikonia usually i just synaptic stuff but this I'd like the latest version if I can get it
[00:21] <pedahzur> Having trouble with an Ubuntu Net install here. Everything set up fine (including the LVM), but the grub install is failing with "Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device."  Advice from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=504678 helped a little: I was able to copy the needed files into /boot, but the find command still says file not found even though 'ls' says otherwise. help?
[00:21] <Guest26478> Como troca o nick sem precisar sair... ?
[00:21] <ikonia> pfred1: synaptic is the best option, it's stable / compatible packages, but lets see if we can fix this
[00:22] <pfred1> ikonia dang do I need all these deb files?
[00:22] <nutz> i've got problem with wireless (rt61pci) and it's supposed to be kernel-related. so i'm wondering: now that 2.6.33 is out - how long is it gonna take until it's gonna be used in ubuntu?
[00:22] <ikonia> pfred1: no - remove them all
[00:22] <pfred1> ikonia with pleasure!
[00:22] <ikonia> nutz: it will be in lucid
[00:22] <bun_bun> Typos_King: how do I get the "acpi-off" to become permanent?
[00:22] <nutz> ikonia: oh.. so probably no fix for my rt61pci problem until april
[00:22] <pfred1> ikonia eeww what is a "partial" directory?
[00:22] <ikonia> nutz: no kernel changes to 9.10
[00:23] <ikonia> pfred1: in what respect ?
[00:23] <Out_Cold> can i use grep to ignore strings? possibly multiple strings?
[00:23] <nutz> ikonia: okay, thanks
[00:23] <pfred1> ikonia inside of /var/cache/apt/archives
[00:23] <pfred1> ikonia this is a complete mess!
[00:23] <ikonia> pfred1: sudo rm -rf *
[00:23] <pfred1> ikonia done
[00:23] <nutz> ikonia: i'm gonna build my own kernel then, i guess - i found two guides help.ubuntu.. and wiki.ubuntu.. is one of them recommended?
[00:23] <Typos_King> bun_bun:    <kla> bun_bun, you edit /etc/default/grub  with your custom command-line options and then run update-grub2
[00:23] <pfred1> ikonia there was even a lock file in there too
[00:23] <ikonia> pfred1: ok , one more thing
[00:24] <ikonia> pfred1: yeah, that's a bit messy, but we can fix that
[00:24] <acu> I have a single partition - I want to backup the entire system and restore it in another hard disk - a mirror - what is the best and easiest program which can do that ?
[00:24] <pfred1> ikonia oh its gone now
[00:24] <ikonia> pfred1: cd .. rm pkgcache.bin
[00:24] <bun_bun> Typos_King: edit with nano?
[00:24] <Typos_King> bun_bun:    I do it by editing /boot/grub/grub.cfg   which in the new grub, is the equivalent to the old menu.lst... and then I back it up, if ever gets changed
[00:24] <Typos_King> bun_bun:   nano, vim, emac, any text editor will do
[00:25] <pfred1> ikonia I have a srcpkgcache.bin too get rid of it?
[00:25] <ikonia> pfred1: nah, that can stay
[00:25] <bun_bun> Typos_King: where in grub.cfg do I add "acpi=off" ??
[00:25] <ikonia> pfred1: now "sudo apt-get update"
[00:25] <pfred1> ikonia I can fix this! E: Archive directory /var/cache/apt/archives/partial is missing.
[00:26] <ikonia> pfred1: ughh, are you getting that now ?
[00:26] <dumont> how do i make a shortcut link on ubuntu?
[00:26] <pfred1> ikonia  sudo mkdir /var/cache/apt/archives/partial worked a treat
[00:26] <ikonia> pfred1: cool
[00:26] <Typos_King> bun_bun:   at the end of the /boo/vmlinux-..... line
[00:26] <ikonia> pfred1: sudo apt-get autoclean
[00:26] <Typos_King> s/boo/boot/
[00:26] <ikonia> pfred1: then sudo apt-get update
[00:26] <pfred1> ikonia now for the moment of truth drumroll please .....
[00:27] <justin22885> with a 500gb hdd, how big do yall think / should be?
[00:27] <bun_bun> Typos_King: I'm in /default/grub at the moment (already backed it up)
[00:27] <ikonia> justin22885: as big as you want it to be, anything from 4gb to 500gb can be used sensibly
[00:27] <Typos_King> bun_bun:   at the end of the /boo/vmlinux-..... line   <----
[00:27] <justin22885> well the majority will be a seperate /home partition
[00:27] <ikonia> justin22885: it's your layout,
[00:28] <antivirt1l> hello all, I want to mount a samba place, how can I do it ? (I've tried with: sudo mount -t smbfs <source> /mnt/ -o user=username
[00:28] <justin22885> so.. /home being seperate, what would you recommend for /?
[00:28] <antivirt1l> )
[00:28] <histo> justin22885: i usually leave 10gigs or 20gigs depends on how many apps you want to install on the box.
[00:28] <ikonia> justin22885: it's what you wnat to use - not what I'd recommend
[00:28] <bun_bun> Typos_King: it seems "update-grub" automatically re-writes grub.cfg - does that make sense? do I then skip changing grub.cfg?
[00:28] <pfred1> ikonia no dice!
[00:28] <histo> justin22885: but its completely up to you.
[00:28] <ikonia> pfred1: ooh rats
[00:28] <justin22885> well id like the room for all the apps i may install down the road
[00:28] <Klavier> update manager has problem about chroimum updating
[00:28] <Klavier> how can i solve it?
[00:28] <pfred1> ikonia still think of all the room for furry pron i have now!
[00:28] <ikonia> pfred1: exactly the same error ?
[00:28] <histo> justin22885: my current install which is custom / is only 2.77g being used
[00:29] <pfred1> ikonia of course
[00:29] <Klavier> i think problem is about keyserver
[00:29] <Typos_King> bun_bun:   it does, but update-grub isn't at every single bootup or installation of anything, just usually, on my case, I run it
[00:29] <justin22885> so, 20-25gb /, the rest /home should be fine
[00:29] <histo> justin22885: you can always expand it down the road and shrink home or vice versa
[00:29] <Klavier> but i dont know how get keys and how can i use keys for keyserver
[00:29] <antivirt1l> hello all, I want to mount a samba place, how can I do it ? (I've tried with: sudo mount -t smbfs <source> /mnt/ -o user=username)
[00:29] <ikonia> pfred1: just thinking
[00:29] <Klavier> for chromium update
[00:29] <randomusr> how can I check for 9.04 or 9.10 installed?
[00:29] <Typos_King> bun_bun:   isn't run that is
[00:29] <justin22885> yeah.. fine, ill go 20 on /, im about ready to turn everything over to linux in a few moments here
[00:29] <justin22885> im in windows 7 right now
[00:29] <histo> antivirt1l: you need to create a directory to mount to
[00:30] <antivirt1l> hmm
[00:30] <Klavier> what about me
[00:30] <Klavier> xD
[00:30] <bun_bun> Typos_King, I did it without touching the grub.cfg and now grub does have acpi=off in it at bootup. hmmm
[00:30] <antivirt1l> histo and with what command ?
[00:30] <histo> antivirt1l: sudo mkdir /mnt/share
[00:30] <histo> antivirt1l: sudo mount -t cifs //IP/nameofshare /mnt/share
[00:30] <histo> antivirt1l: that should work you can try smbfs but you need the samba tools installed
[00:31] <Typos_King> bun_bun:   hehehe, I highly doubt that, exit the editor and check again in 'less'
[00:31] <antivirt1l> cifs is what :
[00:31] <bun_bun> Typos_King, will running this new machine with "acpi off" disable any other features?
[00:31] <brjann> acu: unfortunately most of the open-source drive imaging utilities I know of aren't very friendly. Some of them are listed here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DriveImaging
[00:31] <antivirt1l> ?
[00:31] <Typos_King> bun_bun:   update-grub just will remake it as it was without it
[00:31] <histo> antivirt1l: do you have any of the samba stuff installed?
[00:31] <histo> antivirt1l: you can also mount it by going to Places > Network and browsing to the share
[00:31] <ikonia> pfred1: scratching my head hard here, why you're apt-cache policy says it wants the correct version, yet apt-get install is looking for an older version
[00:32] <ikonia> pfred1: more so when it's just rocketed through on my machine
[00:32] <antivirt1l> histo
[00:32] <histo> antivirt1l: yes?
[00:32] <pfred1> ikonia you have 9.10 ?
[00:32] <antivirt1l> if i mount, can i access to it from shell ?
[00:32] <Typos_King> bun_bun:   just the acpi module usage, which 'might' mean you may need to turn off the machine by also using the power button
[00:32] <ikonia> pfred1: yes
[00:32] <brjann> acu: if you're not opposed to proprietary solutions, I've used Acronis TrueImage for a few years now and am very happy with it.
[00:32] <pfred1> ikonia yes this is seriously ticking me off I'd really like my dev package so I can build something I really want to have here
[00:32] <histo> antivirt1l: yeah either way you can. If you do it through gui you just have to find where gvfs or whatever gnome uses mounts it in your home somewhere
[00:33] <histo> antivirt1l: let me try my share hold up
[00:33] <ikonia> pfred1: I understand, I just can't see how you can be in the situation you're in
[00:33] <wells> What is the pastbin for image ?
[00:33] <rww> ubottu: version | randomusr
[00:33] <rww> ubottu: imagebin | wells
[00:33] <antivirt1l> histo, ok, i write you PM :P
[00:33] <pfred1> ikonia me either i try to dot all my i's and cross all of my t's
[00:33] <Klavier> if i compile kernel again.. for only my devices... ubuntu works faster?
[00:33] <ikonia> Klavier: no
[00:34] <bun_bun> Typos_King, strange. I've rebooted twice and it's working without having made any changes to grub.cfg
[00:34] <Typos_King> wells you can use  imgur.com
[00:34] <Klavier> i have karmic koala... i have 3 gb ram
[00:34] <nimrod10> !upnp
[00:34] <Klavier> i want more speed
[00:34] <nimrod10> !xbmc
[00:34] <bun_bun> heheh, I wonder what will happen when I run the update manager now...
[00:34] <ikonia> Klavier: using the correct xorg video drive is the best way to visually speed up your machine
[00:34] <Typos_King> bun_bun:   heheh, no acpi=off in it?
[00:35] <Klavier> ikonia, i have problem about updating chroium web browser,, i think it s about keyserver
[00:35] <bun_bun> I can't find "acpi=off" in grub.cfg - no
[00:35] <pfred1> ikonia I wish I had the option to dump gtk+ but i htink Ubuntu would blow a gasket if i asked it to do that
[00:35] <Klavier> do u have any idea?
[00:35] <MrPockets> wtf
[00:35] <acu> brjann: thanks for the pointers
[00:35] <ikonia> pfred1: %101 will
[00:35] <MrPockets> so i've got an external mounted to /mnt/external
[00:35] <ikonia> MrPockets: please control your language
[00:35] <brjann> acu: no problem, good luck :)
[00:35] <MrPockets> and i sudo chmod 755 /mnt/external
[00:35] <Klavier> update-manager fails for chromium
[00:35] <MrPockets> but nothign happens
[00:35] <viliny> Hello!
[00:35] <acu> brjann: thanks :)
[00:35] <ikonia> MrPockets: what file system is on /mnt/external
[00:36] <pfred1> ikonia being as its probably the second most important lib on the system behind glibc
[00:36] <ZykoticK9> Klavier, could you pastebin the error you are getting.  would really help the channel with your problem.
[00:36] <MrPockets> ntfs?
[00:36] <MrPockets> uhoh
[00:36] <Typos_King> Klavier:    .... tried Opera? hehhe, might be faster for you....it's so for me, web browser wise
[00:36] <viliny> Have a problem with a samba server here: when trying to share a folder theres an error: NT_ STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES   - anyone know what could cause this?
[00:36] <Klavier> chromium is the best
[00:36] <Klavier> for speed performance i think
[00:36] <ikonia> Klavier: and yet you're complaining it's not fast enough
[00:36] <Klavier> so i prefer this
[00:36] <Typos_King> Klavier  heheh, ooooookk.. well, I digress
[00:37] <Aled> is Epiphany (web browser) any good?
[00:37] <Aled> and will it work for the xfce interface?
[00:37] <ikonia> pfred1: stuggling to think of a situation, as to how you got into this situation
[00:37] <Klavier> ikonia, i prefer this with IE or Firefox
[00:37] <B3rz3rk3r> will renaming my /etc/hostname /etc/hosts to something else break anything.. i remember doing it once for something, and recall there was some problem with it
[00:37] <pfred1> ikonia just got tired of Microsoft around 15 years ago I guess
[00:37] <Klavier> i have Awg menu bar... it s works slow
[00:37] <ikonia> B3rz3rk3r: can do if you have anything referenced by the old hostname
[00:37] <Typos_King> Aled:   speed wise... I've heard good on Midori speed wise....not sure how well it fares in js, but does use the webkit engine
[00:37] <softy> i've switced to dwm from gnome and i'm noticing that some things i took for granted in my xsession defaults (sound, wifi management, scim IME support) are not by default loading/configured.   does anyone have any experience with this?  i am using wicd to manage wifi instead of the network manager applet.  but scim and sound are still only half-working
[00:38] <Klavier> ikonia, awg menubar items working slow.. show up slowly
[00:38] <francisco> anyone knows a channel for spanish ubuntu?
[00:38] <pfred1> ikonia I even made KDE version .4 run on Slackware 3.4 once and that was no small feat!
[00:38] <ardchoille> !es
[00:38] <B3rz3rk3r> ikonia, hey, to be clear im following this bug report as it affects me too: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/338411
[00:38] <ikonia> Klavier: as I said earlier, make sure you have the best/most compatible xorg driver for your video card
[00:39] <airtonix> if i reduce the amount of available ttys from 6 to 2 will this have any adverse effects on my installation?
[00:39] <ikonia> airtonix: not really as long as there is still one to run your display
[00:39] <MrPockets> yeah man
[00:39] <MrPockets> real wierd
[00:39] <ZykoticK9> Klavier, if you are using the the Chromium Daily PPA and are missing the key "sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 4E5E17B5" should get it for you.  But as you have not provided any specific info I can't be sure this is the issue or the PPA with the problem.
[00:39] <Purple_Thing> O
[00:39] <airtonix> ikonia, i assume this "display" you speak of occurs on tty0 ?
[00:40] <ikonia> airtonix: I can't remember to be honest, thought it was 6
[00:40] <Purple_Thing> I'm having an issue with flash. I can't seem to get Youtube videos to play and I'm also having trouble getting parts of facebook to work
[00:40] <Typos_King> softy:   I use kde... but prefer nm-applet from gnome as network manager.....so
[00:40] <randomusr> !non-free
[00:40] <Purple_Thing> I have the whole restricted extras for Ubuntu installed though
[00:40] <pfred1> ikonia with X I think there's 7 typically
[00:40] <randomusr> hmm
[00:40] <ikonia> thank you
[00:40] <Nielsen> Does alsa have their own channel?
[00:40] <ikonia> airtonix: there you go, 7
[00:40] <randomusr> ubottu: non-free
[00:40] <Klavier> ZykoticK9, why did u use --recv-keys 4E5E17B5
[00:40] <pfred1> ikonia but i have to admit i got lost when they switched over to the whole VT thing
[00:41] <Klavier> this key numbers?
[00:41] <softy> Typos_King: yeah, i solved the nm-applet issue by running wicd at startup. but i'm stuck on sound and IME.  alsamixer is throwing an error, and scim i loaded as a background daemon but the keybindings aren't bringing up the toolbar because (i assume) it's designed for GTK
[00:41] <beatbreaker> !ubuntu
[00:41] <brjann> Nielsen: yep, #alsa
[00:41] <pfred1> ikonia I think there's 128 of those somehow
[00:41] <GeekSquid> B3rz3rk3r: not a bug and I quote "This is just like Steve says not a bug, it's a faulty setup." you can't have 2 hosts on the same network with the same name
[00:41] <Nielsen> brjann, ah thanks
[00:41] <ZykoticK9> Klavier, that's Chromium Daily PPA key -- see https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa for details
[00:41] <Nielsen> brjann, i'll go bug them instead ;)
[00:41] <brjann> Nielsen: hehe, good luck :)
[00:41] <randomusr> what do I need to tell ubottu to get info on non-free/restricted repos and software
[00:41] <B3rz3rk3r> GeekSquid, yeah i just read that as well, so looks like isnt the issue. Ah well, back to google :p
[00:41] <Typos_King> softy:  ... maybe just need to use another window manager :)  maybe fluxbox or openbox, no?
[00:42] <pfred1> softy: I always liked Windowmaker
[00:42] <ZykoticK9> Klavier, if you are using Karmic then using the command "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily/ppa" would look after everything for you
[00:43] <softy> Typos_King: i don't think the wm is the proble ;-) just needs some config. im very happy with it
[00:43] <Klavier> thanks ZykoticK9
[00:43] <randomusr> !awn
[00:43] <randomusr> !restricted
[00:43] <alzamabar> Hi all, does somebody know why am I getting the following warning in Apache? VirtualHost localhost:80 overlaps with VirtualHost localhost:80
[00:43] <softy> Typos_King: when i use dwm as just a wm _inside_ of a gnome session those settings work
[00:44] <softy> Typos_King: so I assume i need to put more stuff in my xinit if i am to run dwm at session-level
[00:44] <pfred1> alzamabar because they're on the same port and hostmask?
[00:44] <ZykoticK9> randomusr, if you want to find out info from the bot (without disturbing the channel) you can use "/msg ubottu WHATYOURSEARCHINGFOR"
[00:44] <nich0s> Having trouble configuring my DHCP server. http://pastebin.com/G0p0eFc6 is my DHCPD.conf file.
[00:44] <ikonia> nich0s: what's the issue ?
[00:44] <haecceity> how do i find a list of rooms?#
[00:44] <alzamabar> pfred1: You'll have to excuse me but I don't understand what you are saying...
[00:45] <randomusr> got it
[00:45] <schwert> how can i delete corrupted files like http://pastebin.com/U5kQAb0p
[00:45] <Typos_King> softy:  .. right
[00:45] <pfred1> alzamabar localhost:80 is a hostmask:port combination
[00:45] <nich0s> ikonia, I am unable to ping the clients from the DHCP server for one.
[00:45] <alzamabar> pfred1: What do you mean by hostmask?
[00:45] <ikonia> nich0s: errrrr how is that an issue with the dchp server ?
[00:45] <ikonia> nich0s: do the clients have ip's from the dhcp server ?
[00:46] <nich0s> ikonia, Also not a single one of the clients is grabbing an IP.
[00:46] <rww> haecceity: "alis" is a services bot that can do that. Type "/msg alis help" to find out how. Someone may suggest "/list", this isn't generally a good idea, as large amounts of results from it can flood you off the network.
[00:46] <ikonia> nich0s: ok, so check is your dhcp server running ?
[00:46] <pfred1> alzamabar oh excuse me hostname
[00:46] <ardchoille> schwert: try changing permissions before you delete it, use sudo
[00:46] <pfred1> alzamabar to me they're interchangeable expecially dealing with virtual hosts
[00:46] <schwert> even in root i have "permission denied"
[00:46] <haecceity> rww: cheers
[00:47] <alzamabar> pfred1: Ok, I got that. If I go through my Apache configuration I can't find a single place where I declared the host localhost
[00:47] <ardchoille> schwert: ah, ok

[00:50] <ikonia> please talk in the channel
[00:50] <alzamabar> pfred1: Have you got an idea on how could I solve this problem?
[00:50] <nibbler> speps, i dont think greyscale will save you any cpu
[00:50] <pfred1> alzamabar don't declare localhost as a virtual host?
[00:51] <ZykoticK9> hystreni, you could ask in #winehq have you checked http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=14230&iTestingId=32652 seems to be several people with sound issues
[00:51] <alzamabar> pfred1: Where would have I declared localhost as a virtual host. In an Apache configuration file? If so, would you mind pointing me in the right direction? Because I think I configured all my Apache configuration files to point to my machine name on port 80
[00:52] <alzamabar> pfred1: And not on localhost
[00:52] <hystreni> How am I going to make Spotify to work with wine if it don't agree with my soundcard?

[00:52] <hystreni> ZykoticK9, : 2ty
[00:52] <speps> nibbler: i wanna grayscale in the way it takes the same color cpu load

[00:53] <nibbler> speps, wont be possible.....
[00:53] <donvito> google talk need to be improved in ubuntu
[00:53] <donvito> ok ?
[00:53] <bun_bun> drlabs: can you see the device with lspci command?
[00:54] <pfred1> alzamabar it all used to be in httpd.conf though
[00:54] <ikonia> donvito: talk to google then
[00:54] <donvito> let me call them
[00:54] <donvito> calling...
[00:54] <bun_bun> lol
[00:54] <speps> nibbler: nothing is impossible ;) one way is to integrate it in the webcam module. but this is the hardway
[00:54] <alzamabar> pfred1: I have got /etc/apache/httpd.conf and sites-enabled/000-default. In both files there is no trace of localhost
[00:55] <speps> nibbler: i simple wanna something that render an average 8 bit image
[00:55] <nibbler> speps, it needs extra CPU - maybe less than via loopback, but it needs...
[00:55] <SiegHard> How can i change my shared graphic card memory?
[00:55] <pfred1> alzamabar yeah apache may be getting it from your hosts file though
[00:55] <SiegHard> How can i change my shared intel graphic card memory?
[00:55] <ikonia> SiegHard: bios
[00:55] <SiegHard> am no option
[00:55] <SiegHard> there
[00:55] <ikonia> SiegHard: then you can't
[00:56] <alzamabar> pfred1: the /etc/hosts file contains: localhost <IP_ADDRESS>, my machine name: <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:56] <SiegHard> lol :D
[00:56] <SiegHard> i know i can :S
[00:56] <ikonia> SiegHard: then why are you asking -
[00:56] <drlabs> I'm gonna insist, cand someone help me with the bttv driver parameters on Acorp 9y878f (bt878 Conexant) ? I have managed to make it tune the channels but sound module won't load.After searching for 3 days on web found out that it must be a i2c problem or somthing. I am using Ubuntu 9.10 vanilla kernel. Tryed most of solutions on the web, none worked. What should I do? Please help anyone! Thanks
[00:56] <SiegHard> ikonia, i asking how
[00:56] <Celldweller_Abhi> anyone knows howto acpi=off config is built up and saved so that it is configured at boot time
[00:56] <Celldweller_Abhi> ??
[00:56] <ikonia> SiegHard: you "can't"
[00:56] <SiegHard> ...
[00:56] <pfred1> alzamabar somehow you have a virtualhost with the name localhost
[00:56] <SiegHard> How can i change my shared intel graphic card memory?
[00:56] <ikonia> Celldweller_Abhi: drop it in your grub config in /etc/grub.d
[00:56] <ikonia> SiegHard: you can't
[00:56] <histo> !rsync > antivirt1l
[00:57] <pfred1> alzamabar which I don't see as any big deal really
[00:58] <alzamabar> pfred1: I'm checking all virtualhost entries under /etc/apache2
[00:58] <GeekSquid> Celldweller_Abhi: add that to the boot line in /boot/grub/menu.lst  or /boot/grub/grub.cfg .. depending on your version
[00:59] <pfred1> alzamabar it is probably an example or something in your config file
[00:59] <Srayahu> Good evening everyone - I hope you all are well. =D How do I mount a USB device? I can see it listed when I lsusb.
[00:59] <drlabs> Hello! Anyone? TVTUNER specialist here??? :))
[00:59] <GeekSquid> Celldweller_Abhi: thats /boot/grub2/grub.cfg for Karmic and later
[00:59] <Celldweller_Abhi> well.. if i update afterwards.. will it get rewittren ? that means i have to do all again ??
[00:59] <Srayahu> !ask | drlabs
[01:00] <Typos_King> Srayahu:     tried yet using the file manager?
[01:00] <trism> Celldweller_Abhi: you can add custom parameters in /etc/default/grub
[01:01] <Srayahu> Typos_King, I don't know where to begin really. =/ Karmic Koala used to automatically mount this device for me; however, I had to do a fresh install of Karmic and now Ubuntu won't auto-mount the device.
[01:01] <alzamabar> pfred1: Can't find anything
[01:01] <alzamabar> pfred1: Will reboot. Today I changed the /etc/hosts file maybe that cause some problems
[01:02] <trism> Celldweller_Abhi: append it to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi=off" then run sudo update-grub;
[01:02] <pikeshouse88> hi guys. im having touble with vino
[01:03] <Celldweller_Abhi> thanx :)
[01:03] <Srayahu> !ask | pikeshouse88
[01:03] <pikeshouse88> i  can see the desktop from the client but when i control the mouse, the movement of the mouse is not reflected on the guest
[01:03] <Celldweller_Abhi> i will try that and see if it really works out !
[01:03] <pfred1> alzamabar this is great Ubuntu botched up my apache configuration here!
[01:03] <pikeshouse88> the mouse moves on the host though
[01:03] <pfred1> alzamabar this next time I'll have ot make the config file immutable!
[01:03] <Typos_King> Srayahu:     how about  reinstalling gnome-volume-manager ?
[01:04] <Typos_King> Srayahu:  you'd be able to do it I'd think using gnome-mount
[01:04] <Srayahu> Typos_King, let me try reinstalling GVM? One moment...
[01:04] <pfred1> what kind of coke is ubuntu smoking if updating changeds edited configuration files?
[01:04] <wells> Hi all
[01:05] <Typos_King> hehehe
[01:05] <Typos_King> pfred1    you mean, update-grub updating grub.cfg?
[01:05] <Srayahu> Hi wells! How're you?
[01:05] <pikeshouse88> my movement is reflected on the host but no the guest
[01:05] <pikeshouse88> any ideas?
[01:05] <pfred1> Typos_King hell if i know all I know is I had this thing setup to serve out of my home dir and now it isn't
[01:05] <pfred1> Typos_King and it was a total pain i nthe ass to make it do it too
[01:06] <Typos_King> heh
[01:06] <pfred1> Typos_King and now it seems i have to do it all over again!
[01:06] <emfs> google.com not responding - it only with me?
[01:06] <Typos_King> pfred1 heheh, thus the reason why I back it up :)
[01:06] <wells> I'm having a problem with Ooo calc http://imagebin.org/86818  popup show over formula space
[01:06] <pfred1> Typos_King I'll engrave that config file into the HDD when I'm done this time too
[01:06] <Typos_King> pfred1   won't be a big change anyhow, most of the generated file is correct
[01:06] <pfred1> Typos_King yeah well 15 years of running Linux I've never run into nonsense like this before
[01:07] <Srayahu> Typos_King, Unfortunately reinstalling GVM did not work. = /
[01:07] <pfred1> Typos_King a distro should know not to change editted configuration files
[01:07] <neoteny> after a recent update my password stopped working.  also when i boot the grub menu doesn't show so i can log in at all.  is there a way to force the grub menu to show?
[01:08] <Typos_King> pfred1   well..... depends heh
[01:11] <GeekSquid> wells: by default they should dissappear after 4 seconds .. you can turn them off in Tools>Options .. Openoffice.org>general ... Tips Checkmark
[01:11] <adrian__> hello everybody, this is my first time here. any advice for a newbie?
[01:11] <Typos_King> Srayahu:    can you find 'halvet' inthe repos?
[01:11] <chiques> hello everyone
[01:11] <Typos_King> allo chiques
[01:11] <GeekSquid> neoteny: ESC when grub starts to load will show the grub screen
[01:12] <Surrador>  It is time to put those Haitian jigaboos in their place!    They never will!  The same goes for New Orleans!  Cancun in Mexico suffered few fatalities after their major hurricane, and the rebuilding is already completed.  What have the niggers in New Orleans done? If you are sick
[01:12] <Surrador> of this, join Chimpout Forum!  http://www.chimpout.com/forum

[01:12] <Typos_King> hehehe
[01:12] <chiques> I would like to compress a 20GIG file to fit in ISO dvd images. Anyone recommend any GUI's for that?
[01:12] <neoteny> GeekSquid, i thought so too but it doesn't.
[01:12] <defn> Hello all.  I've mounted my mobileme idisk using "Connect to server" using the GUI.  Is there a local mount point that I can use to access it via the command line?
[01:13] <Typos_King> cram a 20gbs   file in to a 4.7gbs... hmmmmm hehe
[01:13] <GeekSquid> neoteny: if you have a fast computer you have to be really quick with the ESC key
[01:13] <Typos_King> Srayahu:    can you find 'halvet' inthe repos?
[01:13] <brjann> defn: it's probably under ~/.gvfs/
[01:13] <pfred1> phew that was close i had it on another IP heh
[01:13] <geus> multiple probably ;)
[01:13] <DJ-Giraffe> hi
[01:13] <Klavier> can i copy/paste files and folders from ubuntu  to virtual box xp desktop
[01:13] <neoteny> GeekSquid, it's not to fast and i hit it like i was playing track & field
[01:13] <Klavier> ??
[01:13] <Srayahu> Typos_King, I'm looking. I'm also working on this issue... One moment.
[01:13] <arand> chiques: I guess the archive manager can make sequebtiak archives...
[01:13] <chiques> I wouldn't mind compressing into zip and breaking up in 4gb partitions.
[01:14] <arand> chiques: *sequetial
[01:14] <wells> GeekSquid: Yes allredy did that and all info are gone except for this one that still there no matter if I turned off Tools>Options .. Openoffice.org>general ... Tips Checkmark
[01:14] <Klowner> grrr, for the life of me I can't figure out how to remove grub2's "search" directive
[01:14] <Klowner> for whatever reason, grub can't find the uuid, and I can't figure out how to disable the search
[01:14] <wells> GeekSquid: maybe this one need a bug repport
[01:14] <chiques> arand, I'll check that out
[01:15] <Typos_King> defn:      afaik if mounted, it'd show under /media
[01:15] <airtonix> I'm having a problem getting python-dbus to detect signals from org.gnome.Screensaver, I dont think the dbus-monitor is displaying the correct path (at least the one it gives is a path i can't use in my dbus listener)
[01:15] <defn> Typos_King: it doesn['t
[01:15] <defn> doesn't*
[01:15] <arand> Klowner: TO check is the uuid is correct, use "blkid"
[01:16] <brjann> defn: did you check ~/.gvfs/ ?
[01:16] <defn> brjann: i did not. one second
[01:16] <arand> Klowner: Is that the search line in the boot parameters?
[01:16] <geus> chiques, install rar, then make split the volume
[01:16] <defn> brjann: thanks!
[01:16] <GeekSquid> wells: have you restarted openoffice?
[01:16] <brjann> defn: no problem :)
[01:16] <sheldon> hello all, i need to do a custom install cd with 8.0.4, anyone got idea to do this ?
[01:16] <PeskyJ> Where can I switch off the login sound?
[01:16] <sheldon> 8.0.4 server...
[01:17] <arand> PeskyJ: use gdm2setup...
[01:17] <schwert> how can i delete corrupted files like http://pastebin.com/U5kQAb0p when even root doesnt have permissions ?
[01:17] <Klowner> arand: the "search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set UUID_OF_ROOT_PARTITION" causes grub to fail and say it can't find it, so if I remove that line from the stanza and ctrl+x to boot, it boots just fine
[01:17] <wells> GeekSquid: restart does not matter I'm having this all the time
[01:18] <GeekSquid> wells: what version of ubuntu?
[01:18] <wells> GeekSquid: 9.10
[01:18] <arand> PeskyJ: https://edge.launchpad.net/~gdm2setup/+archive/gdm2setup
[01:18] <PeskyJ> arand: says no such program gdm2setup, but gdmsetup runs and is the same as system->administration->login screen
[01:18] <pfred1> schwert can't chmod the file to have permissions?
[01:19] <schwert> pfred1, not event that works
[01:19] <brjann> schwert: that usually means your filesystem itself is corrupted. I would reboot and force a filesystem check with    sudo shutdown -rF now
[01:19] <arand> PeskyJ: it's a specific python-gdm2setup from that ppa
[01:19] <chiques> geus, I'll try that too
[01:19] <chiques> Thanks
[01:19] <wells> GeekSquid: Ooo 3.1.1 build 9420
[01:19] <Typos_King> Klowner... so remove it or comment it, no?
[01:20] <pfred1> schwert chattr doesn't work either?
[01:20] <arand> Klowner: have you tried just running an update-grub and check if it corrects it?
[01:20] <geus> np, sudo apt-get install rar in terminal, then use file-archiver
[01:20] <schwert> brjann, the corrupted files appeared after fsck.reiserfs --rebuild-tree
[01:20] <Klowner> Typos_King: I can edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg directly but as soon as there's a kernel update it's going to screw it over
[01:20] <trism> airtonix: both / and /org/gnome/Screensaver seem to be working for me for paths
[01:20] <miwi> hello
[01:20] <pfred1> schwert chattr -i it
[01:21] <airtonix> trism, this is my script in question, when i put "/" as a path i don't capture any signals : http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8889393&postcount=33
[01:21] <wells> GeekSquid: this occure when manualy typing in formula
[01:21] <Typos_King> Klowner... turn off the updates, I'd thnk.... either way.... you can just back it up....
[01:21] <PeskyJ> arand: ok, while I'm familiar with using linux, I tend to get a bit confused by how all the distribution/sources stuff works, so just reading about PPAs at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas :D
[01:21] <viktor_l> have a peculiar problem, can not wrap my head around it, the only mention old google gives me is a 2002 thread about a python script to reproduce my error. i try to share a folder using nautilus i get an error:
[01:21] <schwert> pfred1, no permissions either
[01:21] <viktor_l> "net usershare" returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot convert name "Everyone" to a SID.
[01:21] <viktor_l> NT_STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES
[01:21] <FloodBot2> viktor_l: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:22] <corespeedxxx> I need a command that eats all my ram and triggers oom killer
[01:22] <Klowner> Typos_King: I'd rather just find whatever file provides the template for generating the stanzas
[01:22] <Klowner> arand: update-grub doesn't remove it
[01:22] <Typos_King> Klowner.... right.... I know is in /etc   I've edited it before
[01:23] <Klowner> Typos_King: that's what I'm frustrated, there's no mention of "search" anywhere in any of the /etc/grub.d tuff
[01:23] <arand> PeskyJ: The quick and easy way it "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gdm2setup/gdm2setup", provided  you trust the ppa of course..
[01:23] <Klowner> er, stuff
[01:23] <PeskyJ> arand: so is it the case that some random person made that particular PPA and when people do that and if it has useful stuff the ubuntu people will put it into a later release?
[01:24] <arand> Klowner: I figured the uuid might just simply be wrong and that an update might correct it..
[01:24] <Klowner> the uuid is correct
[01:24] <Klowner> it's just that the searching for the device fails, but the kernel itself has no issues finding it
[01:24] <Klowner> and I can't tell stupid grub to stop looking for it
[01:24] <brjann> schwert: when you ran fsck with --rebuild-tree, did you also run it with --scan-whole-partition?
[01:24] <Typos_King> Klowner:  I don't think is that file
[01:24] <schwert> brjann, no
[01:25] <GeekSquid> wells: strange .. take it to launchpad ... note it might have to do with localization ... give them everything you got
[01:25] <pfred1> schwert what does lsattr say about the file?
[01:25] <sheldon> no idea to custom install cd of ubuntu 8.0.4 ?
[01:25] <brjann> schwert: try that, it's possible there's a dangling node in what reiser thinks is currently free space.
[01:25] <Guest80173> hello
[01:25] <geus> what you'd like custom?
[01:25] <viktor_l> can someone help me with this samba problem, i updated my server and now i can not access any samba share on that server, i get this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/385424/ when trying to share a folder through nautilus via vnc, the shares appear at the server but are not accessible. no user authentication is sufficient.
[01:25] <schwert> brjann, i'll do that
[01:26] <sheldon> add some package, programm to a "normal" install
[01:26] <arand> PeskyJ: PPAs is a personal repository, can be used for testing applications, personal applications, official proposed applications which might come into the release, or things that never will make it into release but that the ppa owner deems useful...
[01:26] <geus> sheldon, check this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1155961
[01:26] <brjann> schwert: and as always, make sure your data is backed up, etc before doing crazy filesystem things :)
[01:26] <schwert> brjann, too late for that
[01:26] <geus> maybe some info for you there
[01:26] <pfred1> brjann people still use Reiser after what happened?
[01:26] <wells> GeekSquid:  tkx :)
[01:27] <brjann> pfred1: apparently :)
[01:27] <pfred1> brjann he must have lots of time to code now!
[01:27] <brjann> schwert: well, good luck then :)
[01:27] <PeskyJ> arand: I see, and what's a sensible way to decide if you trust someone who makes these things?
[01:27] <Typos_King> Klowner:    in 9.1 I think  is /etc/grub.d/10_linux
[01:28] <arand> pfred1: that has nothing to do with the filesystem, and afaik, it's maintained by other people atm..
[01:28] <Typos_King> Klowner:    decently sure that's the file I edited, which has the template
[01:28] <pfred1> arand I just don't wnat to wake up in a dumpster in 17 different garbage bags!
[01:29] <pfred1> arand but seriously I thought Reiser was done anyways
[01:30] <arand> PeskyJ: Check the teams members and activity on launchpad, if you want you could simply pull the source code before installing anything from it, also you could instal just once from it and the disable it afterward..
[01:31] <Klowner> Typos_King: ah-ha, it's prepare_grub_to_access_device that adds the search line
[01:31] <pfred1> does anyone here know what i can edit to make this problem go away?  libgtk2.0-dev: Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (= 2.18.3-1) but 2.18.3-1ubuntu2 is to be installed
[01:31] <greezmunkey> pfred1, hmm, as long as you're nat a Russian mail order bride, I suppose you'll be o.k.
[01:31] <greezmunkey> s/nat/not
[01:31] <UncleD> Is there a simple way to remove a process from system bootup that is located in /etc/rc0.d/ thru /etc/rc6.d/
[01:32] <dragonbyte> pfred1: install Windows 7 or buy a mac? :)
[01:32] <UncleD> in my case the process is /etc/rc0.d/K20dbmail
[01:32] <viktor_l> can anyone give me any general pointers, ubuntu and sambaserver works great, i update (god knows why) and samba does not anymore allow anyone to access even if the user name and pw has worked before. i uninstalled samba, did a new smb.cfg. no luck. tried with the old backuped one. no luck. what is my next step? the error i get in nautilus via vnc is http://paste.ubuntu.com/385424/
[01:32] <pfred1> greezmunkey running ext3 has dragged my butt out of the coals a couple of time so ....
[01:32] <arand> PeskyJ: Although it's you who makes the decision, I can say that I've used it with no issues so far.
[01:32] <Typos_King> UncleD    how about using   ->  sysv-rc-conf?
[01:32] <fabio999> UncleD: with the K it wont start
[01:32] <dragonbyte> pfred1: where are you getting the libgtk2.0 package from?
[01:32] <d4rkh4v0k> help
[01:33] <miwi> dragonbyte, why limit yourself? buy a mac and run win7 via parallels or virtualbox
[01:33] <pfred1> dragonbyte wherever dpkg is trying to grab it from how can I tell?
[01:33] <pfred1> miwi why?
[01:33] <ZykoticK9> !ask > d4rkh4v0k
[01:33] <dragonbyte> miwi: because your processor goes to crap as the mac loses all its cycles laughing at how bad of a copy job Win 7 is
[01:34] <d4rkh4v0k> I know, It wasn't intended for the chat windo
[01:34] <d4rkh4v0k> window
[01:34] <d4rkh4v0k> I was trying to get reaquiainted with the commands it's been 6 months since I've used IRC
[01:34] <dragonbyte> miwi: As if aero wasn't an obvious enough jab at aqua, then you have the stupid sidebar thing, and now they have tried to lift the dock
[01:35] <PeskyJ> arand: yeah - I generally just go with these things, but I'm trying to learn how it all works organisational wise
[01:35] <pfred1> dragonbyte wasn't there a dock in Afterstep? or a wharf or something?
[01:35] <jon5001> folks, this happened to me the other day: someone started controlling my ubuntu 9.04 computer via the VNC remote protocol that comes with the distro.  I have a password set up on this computer.  I got the intruder to start typing back and forth with me; he told me that my IP address is on a list somewhere of vulnerable computers.  He claimed to be from Romania, and claimed to have accessed many computers this way, including the
[01:35] <jon5001>  mainframe at a major international airport.  I shut down the port forwarding to close the whole.  But what's up with this vulnerability?
[01:35] <PeskyJ> arand: I suppose anyone who is a member in the  'ubuntu' group should get some level of trust - or is that misguided? is there some kind of vetting process for members?#
[01:36] <miwi> drangonbyte: yeah i agree win7 is a poor attempt to copy mac, but at the same time m$ft off2k7 is required for some companies
[01:36] <ardchoille> !ot | dragonbyte miwi
[01:36]  * Typos_King dashes
[01:37] <pfred1> ardchoille yeah well I've been here for over 2 hours now and I have the same problem one has to do something to break up the monotony you know?
[01:37] <pikeshouse88> vino's out. it wouldnt work. ive switched to x11vnc. Chicken of the VNC is working with it great, but the build in VNC client in os x is stuck at connecting. any ideas?
[01:37] <dragonbyte> miwi: so i run ubuntu in vmware fusion next to the win xp that I use for office 2k7
[01:38] <arand> PeskyJ: Mind that anyone with an LP account (who has a pgp key and has signed the CoC) can get a PPA, yea, to become an ubuntu meber there are some steps, and a "significant contribution to ubuntu" required.
[01:38] <d4rkh4v0k> Does anyone know of an online resource to study A+
[01:38] <miwi> dragonbyte: fair enough. on that note, I am struggling to get ubuntu 9.10 to play nicely with the evolution exchange mapi plugin
[01:38] <fabio999> office 2007 works fine on wine
[01:39] <Losha> PeskyJ: I'd say it's quite rare to find deliberate problems in PPAs. Bugs, on the other hand, are as frequent & numerous as in the regular repos...
[01:39] <dragonbyte> miwi: I actually gave that up ages ago.  Though, I was pretty impressed with joining an ubuntu machine to a windows domain so easily
[01:39] <pfred1> fabio999 red wine gives me the worst hangovers
[01:39] <miwi> dragonbyte: I checked launchpad and I see other users with exchange authentication issues, but I do not see any solutions
[01:39] <binMonkey> has anyone else had problems with iron browser?  i can't even open it.  it seg faults immediately.  does anyone have any ideas?
[01:39] <dragonbyte> miwi: the real trick is to replace the exchange server with something that functions properly :)
[01:40] <miwi> dragonbyte: I'll second that
[01:40] <LTL2h> A small question: In a console in X I launch startx and it works what's the possibilities for being able to do this... ;)
[01:40] <Losha> jon5001: so how did he get in. Is the password easily guessable?
[01:40] <dragonbyte> binMonkey: it is for your own protection
[01:40] <Dr_Willis> Hmm - ive never even heard of the 'iron' browser
[01:40] <jolaren> join #amsn
[01:40] <binMonkey> dragonbyte: how?
[01:40] <arand> PeskyJ: But I myself have a ppa, and naught but my good word (and the source code of course) can vouch for it's safety, since I really have no official ties at all..
[01:40] <jon5001> Losha, not easily guessable.  he said he had something called "Black VNC" which somehow bypasses passwords.
[01:40] <binMonkey> Dr_Willis: it's a version of chrome stripped of reporting to google.
[01:41] <pfred1> how do I go about repairing a "E: Broken packages" message?
[01:41] <Dr_Willis> binMonkey:  sounds like its got some bugs.
[01:41] <dragonbyte> binMonkey: well, that is how it prevents any web based security vulnerabilities.  You just replace your normal browser with one that doesn't function
[01:42] <miwi> dragonbyte: well, until the corporate exchange world switches to something public, I'll keep to running vm with ubuntu for outlook
[01:42] <binMonkey> Dr_Willis: i guess the update fouled some things up.  i hoped someone here knew something.
[01:42] <PeskyJ> arand: yeah, I figured anyone can do it - I'm just wondering how these things are monitored and how the community in general ousts any attempts by neer-do-wells to inject dodgy software
[01:42] <Dr_Willis> binMonkey:  Its not in the official repos i imagine. So best bet would be the browsers homepage/forums
[01:42] <claws_> what is a good file manager?
[01:42] <dragonbyte> miwi: Mail.app works with exchange as far as I know if you are on a MAc
[01:42] <Dr_Willis> claws_:  depends on your needs.
[01:42] <binMonkey> dragonbyte: i don't understand.  are you saying the program itself stopped running.
[01:43] <dragonbyte> binMonkey: it was a joke
[01:43] <pfred1> PeskyJ I think spammers hsould be publically tortured and executed
[01:43] <binMonkey> that's what i thought.   thanks for the help.
[01:43] <miwi> dragonbyte: unfortunately the work comp is a pc... oh well nothing is perfect
[01:43] <claws_> well... i need it to do everything that explorer do.... at least
[01:43] <arand> PeskyJ: fact is, nothing of the sort has yet occured afaik. Only a metter of time I guess, but so far it has been discussed little or none...
[01:44] <dragonbyte> binMonkey: well, you would kind of need to provide how you got the executable, where you got it, how you installed it, and a whole host of other information to even begin discussing why it might have segfaulted
[01:45] <pfred1> dragonbyte its been a while but don't you need to set a ulimit to allow core dumps too?
[01:45] <trism> airtonix: ok, this line seems to work for me, bus.add_signal_receiver(callback_func, "ActiveChanged", "org.gnome.ScreenSaver")
[01:45] <binMonkey> dragonbyte: you are right.  once again, thanks for the help.
[01:45] <Losha> jon5001: first I've ever heard of it, but clearly he knows something we don't. Personally, I only allow access to my machines from outside via ssh. I recommend you do the same.
[01:45] <xangua> dragonbyte binMonkey executable┬┐┬┐ is a win app┬┐┬┐
[01:45] <airtonix> trism, testing it now'
[01:45] <PeskyJ> arand: hrm, that's a bit worrying, I mean it would sure be a lot of work to put something in and hide it sufficiently so as not to go easily noticed, but if there's no review process it could be an easy target :/
[01:46] <binMonkey> xangua: no.  it's not a win app.  you are very helpful, too.
[01:46] <jon5001> Losha, true.
[01:46] <dragonbyte> binMonkey: Also, being rude and humorless is also likely to have people flocking to assist
[01:47] <Dr_Willis> claws_: and you have some problem with the default gnome file manager?
[01:47] <PeskyJ> jon5001: yeah, if you want to set up VNC, only allow it from localhost, then you can tunnel in over SSH
[01:47] <claws_> is gnom commander any good?
[01:47] <binMonkey> i don't know what you call it, but the tgz expands to a single directory and you run the program from that directory.  i tried it by cd-ing int to the directory and running ./iron.
[01:47] <pfred1> how can I get 2.18.3-1ubuntu2 to provide the dependency for libgtk2.0-0 (= 2.18.3-1) trying to install libgtk2.0-dev ?
[01:47] <Dr_Willis> claws_:  try it and see if you like it. I tend to use 'mc' and 'rox-filer' as alternatives to gnomes nautilus
[01:47] <arand> PeskyJ: We're slipping a bit offtopic here I think, I'll be in #ubuntu-offtopic ;)
[01:47] <geus> or use nomachine nx, alot better imho, and it's free
[01:48] <bIGHh> LTL2h: 1)You've launched a qemu-kvm guest in vga console OR 2)You've kept display :0 free ! OOOOooohhhHHH !!! amazing startx !
[01:48] <PeskyJ> jon5001: of if you're behind a NAT it becaomes so much easier as you only hav eto worry about LAN then :)
[01:48] <dragonbyte> pfred1: not sure, I never go that deep with it.  Typically if I have something segfaulting it is because it got built wrong so I rebuild it or get it from a better source
[01:48] <LTL2h> bIGHh: 200% TRUE !
[01:48] <binMonkey> dragonbyte: i'm sorry if i was rude.  your comments and xangua's seemed a little bit 'facepalmy'.
[01:48] <p1oooop> gmm
[01:48] <Dr_Willis> binMonkey:  so it comes precompiled. or 'statically' compiled. very likely some Lib conflict. Run it from terminal. look for error messages. is about all you can do. and report the erorrs to the programs homepage
[01:48] <Dr_Willis> binMonkey:  or try recompiling from source
[01:48] <melissawm> hi folks, i'm not sure i'm in the right place for lucid questions, but if so, can anyone help me to install lucid from a usb key? i get errors using both the live cd and the alternate cd (amd64)
[01:49] <claws_> Dr_Willis: gr8.. i wil try some out :)
[01:49] <pfred1> dragonbyte all I'm trying to do is to apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
[01:49] <GeekSquid> !lucid | melissawm
[01:49] <binMonkey> Dr_Willis: ok.  it the onlyt message is 'segmentation fault', is there anywhere else i can look?
[01:49] <Losha> jon5001: I see something similar to what you describe here, but its from 2006: http://<IP_ADDRESS>/search?q=cache:tzsjBhg96toJ:www.securiteam.com/unixfocus/5WP0D1FIKC.html+Black+VNC+bypass+password&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us
[01:49] <Dr_Willis> melissawm:  use a tool like unetbootin, or the usb-disk creator tool to make a bootable usb key. boot from key. and install
[01:49] <pfred1> dragonbyte but apparently that is "too deep' for Ubuntu to do here!
[01:49] <dragonbyte> pfred1: oh sorry, thought you meant bin's issue.  Uhm, make sure you have the latest and greatest lists
[01:49] <brjann> binMonkey: one thing you might try is running ldd to see if the executable is missing any library dependencies
[01:49] <Dr_Willis> binMonkey:  Not that i can think of. a seg falt is a bad crash
[01:49] <ZenSimilia> hi all! need help: how to change single click to double click navigation in File-Roller?
[01:50] <LTL2h> bIGHh: Though you can do 2) after 1) ; AKA 2)+1) = 0... 0H0H.
[01:50] <dragonbyte> pfred1: if your dev sources don't match your bin sources it could give you pain too.
[01:50] <melissawm> Dr_Willis: thanks, i did that, but i get an error installing. anyway i'll go to #ubuntu+1 :)
[01:50] <binMonkey> brjann: is that 'ldd ./appname'?
[01:50] <pfred1> dragonbyte as in apt-get update ?
[01:50] <brjann> binMonkey: ldd <executable> will spit out a bunch of information about what dynamic libraries are linked to the executable. look for anything that says "not found" or the like
[01:50] <dragonbyte> pfred1: yeah, do an update, and make sure your sources.list entries are all kosher
[01:50] <binMonkey> brjann: cool,  thanks.
[01:50] <pfred1> dragonbyte I don't think the 13th time will exactly be a charmer do you?
[01:51] <pfred1> dragonbyte but what the hey I'm bored you know?
[01:51] <geus> ZenSimilia,   edit/preferences/behaviour in nautilus
[01:51] <dragonbyte> pfred1: well then you either may have a problem in your sources.list (ie, bad dev source) or there is a screwed up dependency in the package listing
[01:51] <pfred1> dragonbyte would you look at that
[01:51] <pfred1> dragonbyte the same error!
[01:52] <pfred1> dragonbyte yes I'm leaning towards the "there is a screwed up dependency in the package listing" myself
[01:52] <airtonix> trism, sorry that doesn't do anything for me
[01:52] <ZenSimilia> geus, i use PCmanfm
[01:53] <geus> soz, just noticed the mistake
[01:53] <LTL2h> bIGHh: In this case be ready to use qemu-kvm console command "sendkey ctrl-alt-F." to switch between X's Guest or/then ctrl-alt-1 to host home your mouse... HIHI.
[01:53] <dragonbyte> pfred1: if your sources.list is all clean then you could also clean cache and let it redownload.  Other than that, not sure what else to tell you
[01:53] <Luke__> can anyone recomend a good template editor?
[01:54] <tester__> Elias
[01:54] <brjann> pfred1: you might try the -proposed repository, to see if there's a glitch in the package
[01:54] <john__> hi group
[01:54] <pfred1> brjann how would i do that?
[01:55] <sate> I can someone tell me how to add firefox icon to the panel?
[01:55] <brjann> pfred1: look here, the "selective upgrading" part: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed
[01:55] <john__> can some one help in finding a set of drivers for my Vodoo 3dfx card
[01:55] <LTL2h> s/ctrl-alt-1/ctrl-alt/ ; ctrl-alt-1 was before sendkey... eheh!
[01:55] <sate> its only showing firefox installer
[01:55] <pfred1> brjann I am more of a stable release kind of a guy
[01:55] <Dr_Willis> sate:  for gnome you can drag an icon from the menus to the panel.
[01:55] <bIGHh> LTL2h: Brilliant !
[01:55] <PeskyJ> sate: Right click on it (in the applications menu) and choose "Add this launcher to Panel"
[01:55] <fabio_999> chrome has a lot of hiden features
[01:55] <sate> The problem is it's gone
[01:56] <Dr_Willis> sate:  could be firefox is not installed.. or the menus need refreshed
[01:56] <brjann> pfred1: hence the selective upgrade part -- you don't have to upgrade any more than you want to.
[01:56] <sate> I have firefox installed
[01:56] <sate> but its only showing firefox installer
[01:56] <Dr_Willis> sate:  log out/back in - and see if it shows up
[01:56] <pfred1> brjann you think if I downgraded my libgtk2.18.3-1ubuntu2 to a name closer to  2.18.3-1 could help?
[01:56] <LTL2h> thanks bighh, though there are so many me as me...
[01:56] <sate> Tried that
[01:57] <sate> Still showing firefox browser
[01:57] <pfred1> brjann this is the dep error I get:   libgtk2.0-dev: Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (= 2.18.3-1) but 2.18.3-1ubuntu2 is to be installed
[01:57] <sate> browser installer *
[01:57] <brjann> pfred1: it might, yes. the latest version of libgtk-2.0-dev in the repo might not be the same version as the latest libgtk-2.0
[01:58] <Dr_Willis> sate:  you could right clck on desktoo -> make new launcher have it launch 'firefox'   - try just 'firefox' from a terminal also. make sure that works
[01:58] <brjann> pfred1: if that's the case, you could a) try rolling libgtk-2.0 back to match libgtk-2.0-dev, or you could check -proposed to see if there's a version of libgtk-2.0-dev that matches your libgtk-2.0
[01:58] <john__> Hi all is this thing working here LOL
[01:58] <Dr_Willis> Only time ive seen 'firefox installer' was on my Kubuntu Box.
[01:58] <brjann> !hi | john__
[01:58] <sate> That works
[01:58] <sate> The firefox in terminal
[01:58] <pfred1> brjann i just wish it'd work like it is supposed to as opposed to me jumping thorugh all sorts of flaming hoops I'd prefer not getting burned by any of this later on it all
[01:58] <john__> thanks I thought I was not hooked up here
[01:59] <sate> how do you make a new launcher?
[01:59] <john__>  Can some one help in Helping me with my Vodoo card
[01:59] <pfred1> brjann as in I'd like the dev package of gtk installed that is supposed to go with my release nothing more
[01:59] <p1oooop> vodoo?
[01:59] <john__> yep 3dfx card
[01:59] <p1oooop> you mean you wanna curse someone with insuffurable pain?
[01:59] <john__>  it is older but works
[01:59] <jon5001> Losha, yes, that seems to be it.  i think more ununtu users should know about this!!
[01:59] <p1oooop> ;)
[01:59] <Dr_Willis> sate:  right click on desktop -> make new launcher
[02:00] <Dr_Willis> 'Create Launcher'
[02:00] <brjann> pfred1: I understand, but I have no control over that :)
[02:00] <sate> i see it
[02:00] <pfred1> john__ i have one of those!
[02:00] <sate> now whats the command?
[02:00] <p1oooop> john__: yeah, I wouldn't know about that
[02:00] <p1oooop> sorre
[02:00] <Dr_Willis> sate:  err.. same as you typed in the terminal.. 'firefox'
[02:01]  * m3onh0x84 is away: I'm busy now
[02:01] <john__> pfred1 what drivers did you ise
[02:01] <CrashOverride> use*
[02:01] <pfred1> john__ its sitting in a cardboard box someplace now
[02:01] <john__>   use
[02:01] <john__>  yes
[02:01] <john__>  sorry
[02:01] <brjann> pfred1: wait, do you have karmic-updates enabled?
[02:01] <sate> yup that worked thanks
[02:01] <pfred1> brjann how can I check?
[02:01] <trism> airtonix: could be a problem with the screensaver not sending the appropriate signals, but http://paste.ubuntu.com/385437/ this works for me (two files, one to start the screensaver with dbus, since I can't seem to get it to active on its own...perhaps that's why mine works)
[02:02] <neoteny> doh! it's grub2 that's installed there.  shift not esc forces the menu
[02:02] <binMonkey> brjann: thanks for the ldd command.  it didn't help but it's something new to learn.  thanks.
[02:02] <brjann> pfred1: System > Administration > Software Sources, under the "Updates" tab
[02:02] <john__>  any way In want to have a smaller screen but all I can get is 800x600
[02:02] <brjann> binMonkey: no problem, sorry it didn't help :)
[02:02] <CrashOverride> !display | john__
[02:02] <CrashOverride> :)
[02:03] <pfred1> brjann when I sudo apt-get update I see a lot of karmic this that and the other things
[02:03] <CrashOverride> john__: have you tried that solution?
[02:03] <john__> going to try it now
[02:03] <CrashOverride> john__: Good luck. :)
[02:03] <pfred1> brjann come to look at it every line is karmic something or other
[02:04] <geus> karmic updates...
[02:04] <pfred1> geus you know I'm not seeing it
[02:04] <CrashOverride> !sources | pfred1
[02:05] <pfred1> CrashOverride how about just see the command to enable them here?
[02:05] <neoteny> i forgot my password.  that hasn't happened at home in years :)
[02:05] <geus> if you added the normal update sources (or left 'em default) they should be perfectly safe to upgrade to
[02:05] <brjann> pfred1: the reason I'm asking is because karmic was shipped with version 2.18.3-1 of gtk and gtk-dev. the updated versions in the karmic-updates repo are 2.18.3-1ubuntu2.2, which is similar to the version in your error
[02:05] <EmilemiL> How do i add permissions for a user to be able to upload files via ftp to /var/www? (drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-02-27 19:37 www)
[02:06] <brjann> pfred1: despite your 13 attempts to update and check your sources so far, it really does seem like you're having a source issue
[02:06] <pfred1> brjann yes i have no line that says karmic updates
[02:06] <flyman> EmilemiL chmod the directory
[02:06] <flyman> chmod +775 or +777 /var/www
[02:07] <john__> ok type in sudo in run App and not there I have to remember how to bring it up
[02:07] <EmilemiL> flyman: its already 755 but woundnt it be less safe to use 777?
[02:07] <brjann> pfred1: okay, it seems like that's the problem. somehow libgtk2.0-0 was updated to version 2.18.3-1ubuntu2, but since you don't have karmic-updates enabled, apt can't find a version of libgtk2.0-dev to match it.
[02:07] <pirate> test
[02:08] <CrashOverride> !lostpassword
[02:08] <flyman> EmilemiL won't work till you make it 777 and yes it is unsafe
[02:09] <EmilemiL> flyman: ok, ill give it a try
[02:09] <pirate> 2
[02:10] <pirate> w
[02:10] <flyman> you should make a seperate user on the system and give him the privs even if he's remote (or accept IP but useless without static ip of client connecting) rather then really chmodd that directory but might want to think about it.
[02:10] <CrashOverride> Pirate: Please state your question
[02:10] <brjann> EmilemiL: alternatively you could chown the directory to the user ftp runs as.
[02:11] <CrashOverride> !etiquette pirate
[02:11] <CrashOverride> opps
[02:11] <CrashOverride> !etiquette | rate
[02:11] <john__> Ok How does one open sudo again
[02:11] <CrashOverride> damn
[02:11] <bikcmp> john__: erm, sudo?
[02:11] <bikcmp> :P
[02:11] <EmilemiL> brjann: ok
[02:11] <flyman> john__ open a terminal /end
[02:11] <CrashOverride> john: Go to your terminal
[02:11] <agoole> hey, I just lost my system to a crashed hard drive, and trying to install with the latest beta that was online
[02:11] <CrashOverride> john: Go to Application > Then first tab > then Terminal
[02:12] <agoole> when I try to boot it up, i just get a blank screen
[02:12] <agoole> and i can't see anything
[02:12] <agoole> just blank
[02:12] <EmilemiL> btw, can anyone tell me how to add the users name in front of my msg w/o writing it? :)
[02:12] <john__> this is my first time on Linux system I was so pissed at windows I killed it LOL
[02:12] <agoole> is there a good way for me to fix this ?
[02:12] <flyman> agoole most likely the graphics or not loading the partition that was in the original mbr, possible.
[02:12] <pfred1> EmilemiL what do you mean?
[02:12] <kostkon> EmilemiL, type the first 2-3 chars and then press TAB
[02:12] <ZykoticK9> agoole, if by beta you mean Lucid ask your question in #ubuntu+1 (it's common BTW, i don't know solution)
[02:12] <agoole> flyman: euh...I tried a different live cd, an older one, and it worked fine,
[02:13] <pfred1> kostkon pfft get a real mouse!
[02:13] <john__> okay  that is atl f2 right
[02:13] <EmilemiL> kostkon ah thanks
[02:13] <brjann> EmilemiL: e.g., if the ftp daemon runs as user ftp, you could chown the directory to ftp:www-data and change the permissions to 755.
[02:13] <agoole> ZykoticK9: oh perfect, thanks
[02:13] <CrashOverride> !private > john__
[02:14] <EmilemiL> brjann: okey, well i tryed that but it didnt work for me, maybe i did something wrong. chmod 777 works tho
[02:14] <CrashOverride> !terminal > john__
[02:15] <CrashOverride> John__: that should help you with your terminal problem
[02:15] <brjann> EmilemiL: okay. just beware that isn't very secure :)
[02:15] <flyman> agoole well your vid gfx may not be supported (assuming new card or not found by ubuntu correctly) but the system may also not have been installed correctly either. You know if you're using grub(2) or lilo?
[02:15] <EmilemiL> brjann: that's what im afraid of ;)
[02:15] <greezmunkey> ZykoticK9: Lucid is what, about four weeks away?
[02:16] <ZykoticK9> greezmunkey, 19 days until Beta 1 -- 61 days till final
[02:16] <agoole> flyman: using grub originally
[02:16] <agoole> flyman: but I lost everything
[02:16] <agoole> flyman: hard drive crashed
[02:16] <brjann> EmilemiL: what user did you chown to?
[02:16] <flyman> EmilemiL could always make a cron script to look for suspious activity or from specific user and if he/she starts trying to del everything you could stop it, bunch of scripts out their that could help depending on what daemon.
[02:17] <EmilemiL> brjann: can i just change premissions back to 755?
[02:17] <EmilemiL> brjann: chown to www-data i think
[02:17] <flyman> agoole when you installed was it off of internet/lan or just live cd? also did you delete the original partitions / wip the orig mbr? or do you know if it even got that far?
[02:18] <ZykoticK9> flyman, if you want to assist with agoole's issue please join #ubuntu+1 as well (he's running Lucid)
[02:18] <EmilemiL> flyman: from the safety of it all, since im the only user what safety holes do i have?
[02:18] <brjann> EmilemiL: ah. yeah, that wouldn't work. apache runs as www-data, not your ftp server. run this for me:   ps aux | grep ftpd   and tell me what user it's running as?
[02:18] <agoole> flyman: live cd, and I just swapped in a new drive, since my hard drive jsut died 2 days ago
[02:19] <john__> sudo/ect/init.d/?dm: No such file or directory
[02:20] <EmilemiL> brjann: im bad at that, got alot of text with root and www-data
[02:20] <Dr_Willis> john__:  use gdm or kdm, actually use 'sudo service gdm restart' if you want to restart gdm
[02:20] <Dr_Willis> john__:  and use proper spaces in commands..
[02:20] <brjann> EmilemiL: what ftp server are you using?
[02:20] <greezmunkey> ZykoticK9: agoole: this may be useful: http://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/8225-clone-your-ubuntu-installation-onto-a-new-hard-disk
[02:20] <Ennui> software center keeps segfaulting
[02:20] <greezmunkey> ZykoticK9: sorry...
[02:20] <EmilemiL> brjann: protftp
[02:21] <EmilemiL> brjann: that runs as root
[02:21] <Jeffx> hi all, I'm running 10.3 and I got some problem setting my network up, the change I make in /etc/network don't appear when I restart. Every time I have to run sudo ifconfig eth1 <IP_ADDRESS> then start firestarter and the network is fine, but I need this to be automatic at boot, tried a sh script without success, is this a knows bug
[02:21] <brjann> EmilemiL: it runs as root? then there's no reason it shouldn't be able to write whereever it wants to
[02:22] <ardchoille> Jeffx: /join #ubuntu+1
[02:22] <brjann> EmilemiL: oh, well. nevermind then :)
[02:22] <john__> so I do this in Terminal right
[02:23] <EmilemiL> brjann: root 7883 0.0 0.0 3004 752 pts/0 R+ 03:21 0:00 grep protftpd. but changing to 755 again resulted in lost permissions, im loggin in with my default user name
[02:23] <isp> bye
[02:23] <brjann> EmilemiL: oh! that's just the grep command. you misspelled proftpd :)
[02:24] <EmilemiL> brjann: haha ok, gimme a sec then
[02:24] <donvito> is nero linux avaiable for karmic
[02:24] <donvito> ?
[02:25] <donvito> !nero
[02:25] <donvito> !nero linux
[02:25] <john__> Okay from the start here
[02:25] <pikeshouse88> how can i log my account in from the gnome login window using terminal?
[02:25] <john__> like I said first time here just a newbe LOL
[02:25] <EmilemiL> brjann: sent you the lines in priv
[02:25] <skippuff54> jeffx what does your setup look like? do you have router? is your interface wired or wireless
[02:25] <Ennui> http://pastebin.com/yN8V2kTQ
[02:26] <kostkon> donvito, you'll have to buy it from here: http://www.nero.com/enu/linux4.html
[02:26] <louish> Nero to linux ?
[02:26] <_Tristan> pikeshouse88: on the bottom there's a session type dropdown
[02:26] <ardchoille> skippuff54: he is using lucid, feel free to join him in #ubuntu+1
[02:26] <donvito> okey
[02:26] <donvito> but is it avaiable?
[02:26] <kostkon> donvito, only a free demo version
[02:26] <donvito> anyother
[02:26] <pikeshouse88> _Tristan: lets assume i'm trying to this from ssh to allow VNC to start
[02:26] <kostkon> donvito, if you want the full app, you'll have to buy it
[02:26] <donvito> good recording program like nero
[02:27] <donvito> anyother
[02:27] <donvito> good recording program like nero
[02:27] <_Tristan> pikeshouse88: then I don't know
[02:27] <kostkon> !burners | donvito
[02:28] <pikeshouse88> from remote machine, id like to ssh into my server and sign into my account from the UI
[02:28] <flyman> k3b is good and has a decent UI
[02:28] <pikeshouse88> so that VNC can work
[02:28] <blakkheim> flyman: if you want to call qt a "decent ui"..
[02:30] <Dr_Willis> donvito:  nero linux - i dont think has all the features and extra tools that Nero for windows does.
[02:31] <pikeshouse88> anyone know how to log in gnome ui from terminal?
[02:31] <Srayahu> Brasero has always gotten the job done for me. =D
[02:31] <Dr_Willis> pikeshouse88:  for 'vnc' i normally install and set up 'vncserver' so i can 'ssh' in and run 'vncserver' - theres no need to login to the gnome desktop that way.
[02:31] <Dr_Willis> pikeshouse88:  or set up gnome to auto login and autostart the vnc desktop feature
[02:31] <Ali_nz1> how can i find out if a crontab job ran?
[02:32] <pikeshouse88> by vncserver you mean package x11vnc?
[02:32] <Ali_nz1> or is there a way i can setup some sort of email reporting?
[02:32] <blakkheim> Ali_nz1: for what
[02:32] <Dr_Willis> pikeshouse88:  theres a dozen vncservers you can use  - I tend to use 'vnc4server'
[02:32] <Faye> hello -- is ext4 much better than ext3? I'm installing ubuntu with a home and root partition, and I'm wondering if I should make /home ext4 or leave it as ext3
[02:33] <blakkheim> Faye: people have different opinions about that
[02:33] <Srayahu> Faye, I've never really experienced much difference. = /
[02:33] <blakkheim> Faye: in some cases, ext4 is slower than ext3
[02:33] <pikeshouse88> i heard vnc4server doesnt show your whole workspace
[02:33] <Ali_nz1> blakkheim: a find command in crontab with -exec rm switch
[02:34] <brjann> Faye: one thing to consider is that if you create an ext3 partition, you can always mount it as ext4 if you want
[02:34] <Srayahu> Faye, blakkheim took the words out of my mouth. I was going to comment that ext3 is a bit faster and maybe more stable.
[02:34] <blakkheim> Ali_nz1: you could have it send the output of a command to your email if that's what you mean
[02:34] <Faye> ok, in that case I'll leave it as ext3. Thank you!
[02:34] <Ali_nz1> blakkheim: that would work. how do i do it?
[02:34] <blakkheim> Ali_nz1: ssmtp+mailx is what i use, but there are other ways
[02:35] <ardchoille> Ali_nz1: run the same find command minus the -exec rm switch and see if it finds anything.
[02:35] <Ali_nz1> blakkheim: is that a plugin?
[02:35] <blakkheim> Ali_nz1: mailx and ssmtp are both packages in ubuntu that you will need to install and configure if you want to do it that way.
[02:36] <faron> can anybody tell my when i right click on "#ubuntu" in the  pidgin buddy list window to try to "join" # ubuntu i get the error msg "Error joining chat<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[02:36] <faron> 404: Remote Server Not Found"     but when i type "/join # ubuntu" in nickserv it seems to work just fine ?
[02:37] <pw-toxic_> hi
[02:37] <crackpotkid> hi
[02:37] <pw-toxic_> how can i install KDE additionalle besides gnome, so that i can choose it at startup?
[02:37] <pw-toxic_> i remember something like apt-get install kubuntu. but he doesnt know this
[02:37] <ardchoille> pw-toxic_: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[02:37] <phrost> is there a method via apt or dpkg where you can have it verify the state of installed files via md5 or something, vmware installer broke all the perl 5.10 libs
[02:38] <john__> Okay can someone help on this video driver
[02:38] <pw-toxic_> ardchoille, lol now i remember it. Thanks!
[02:38] <xangua> faron<EMAIL_ADDRESS>< is that the name you give it┬┐┬┐ i only have #ubuntu in the configuration
[02:38] <manas> Hi, what is the room for google summer of code
[02:38] <ardchoille> pw-toxic_: haha
[02:38] <brjann> manas: i'd bet #gsoc
[02:39] <faron> sorry not sure exactly what you mean
[02:39] <pw-toxic_> ardchoille, i have bought a new laptop.. is it possible to clone my old desktop? style etc easlily?
[02:39] <ardchoille> !clone | pw-toxic_
[02:39] <faron> ahhhhhh wait...........
[02:39] <ardchoille> !automate > pw-toxic_
[02:40] <vince> Do you guys know if windbind is nessesary for printer sharing?
[02:40] <pw-toxic_> ardchoille, is this command able to handle the chance of architecture?  my old laptop is 32bit and my new one 6 bit?
[02:40] <Nushio> I need some help installing Ubuntu 9.10, it won't boot from a livecd on a very old desktop (1.1 Ghz, probably p3)
[02:40] <ardchoille> pw-toxic_: oh, don't know about that
[02:40] <Nushio> the error it gave was /init: line 1: can't open /dev/sr1: No medium found
[02:40] <ardchoille> pw-toxic_: better find out before you go running those
[02:40] <Nushio> I just tried Fedora 9, 10, 11, 12 live cds, and none of those would boot either :P
[02:40] <pw-toxic_> ardchoille, well i just try it.. i have no problem with reinstalling everything
[02:42] <IMTheNachoMan> i have a pc with a hdmi port built into MB, will ubuntu detect that?
[02:42] <IMTheNachoMan> or how can i check before i start installing?
[02:42] <Izinucs> IMTheNachoMan: run the live cd and see if it works
[02:42] <IMTheNachoMan> humm
[02:42] <IMTheNachoMan> k
[02:42] <Nushio> Izinucs: what if the livecd won't boot?
[02:42] <IMTheNachoMan> no other option?
[02:43] <IMTheNachoMan> i am still waiting for the MB to arrive and doing research right now. so comp is not built yet
[02:43] <Izinucs> Nushio: then you have to work that issue out.. may by turning off acpi.. or other solution
[02:44] <Nushio> hmm, guess its time to undust the old boot parameter list
[02:44] <Nushio> at least ubuntu shows the booting logo
[02:44] <Izinucs> IMTheNachoMan: It really depends on the chipset video card etc.. to many variables to guess at
[02:44] <IMTheNachoMan> GF9300-A-E - Nvidia GeForce 9300
[02:44] <Nushio> fedoras 9-12 fail 5 secs after i select "boot from livecd"
[02:44] <Izinucs> Nushio: you having problems getting the live cd to boot?
[02:45] <Nushio> Izinucs: yes, on a very old desktop
[02:45] <Nushio> the error it gave me on ubuntu was /init: line 1: can't open /dev/sr1: No medium found
[02:45] <Nushio> so I just unplugged the secondary cd drive
[02:46] <Izinucs> Nushio: I wonder what sr1 is.. do you have more than one monitor hooked up?
[02:46] <Nushio> just one monitor, actually
[02:46] <Nushio> i'm quite surprised it refuses to boot 'n stuff
[02:46] <Nushio> hmm
[02:46] <Nushio> I think the secondary cd drive is damaged
[02:46] <Srayahu> What is /dev/sr1?
[02:46] <Nushio> unplugging it got it to boot
[02:46] <Izinucs> Nushio: :)
[02:46] <john__> OKAY guys I have the terminal open  and I typed in sudo/etc/init.d/?dm restart and got error
[02:46] <Nushio> Srayahu: according to google? could be a cd rom drive
[02:47] <Nushio> in my case, I have 2, a dvd and a cd rom drive (as I said, very old desktop :P)
[02:47] <randomusr> is it possible to use my media buttons with web based flash video?
[02:47] <Srayahu> Nushio, What's your boot order in BIOS?
[02:47] <Dr_Willis> randomusr:  never seen it work that way.
[02:47] <Nushio> Srayahu: dvdrom-harddrive-floppy
[02:47] <ardchoille> john__: someone told you how to fix that a long time ago: sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart # where ?is a g or a k depending on which display manager tyou are using
[02:47] <john__> sudo/etc/init.d/?dm: No such file or directory
[02:47] <Nushio> (it has floppy :P)
[02:48] <Dr_Willis> john__:  for starters theres a SPACE btweek sudo and /etc
[02:48] <Srayahu> Nushio, and you've got the Ubuntu LiveCD in DVDrom?
[02:48] <Nushio> Srayahu: is that wrong?
[02:48] <john__> Ok thank like I said this is my first time on linux system
[02:48] <Dr_Willis> john__:  and if you want to restart gdm use 'sudo service gdm restart'  or use 'stop' or 'start'
[02:48] <Srayahu> Nushio, no - but I want to cover all our bases.
[02:48] <hdon> hi all. i'm using the "pencil" animation package, but when i draw, there are lots of artifacts in the area of my cursor. how can i toggle hardware accelerated compositing? i want to see if that will help
[02:48] <Dr_Willis> john__:  i mentioned the SPACE thing a while back.
[02:48] <Nushio> yes, I put cd on a dvd reader, not dvd on the cd reader
[02:48] <randomusr> Has anyone heard whether blu-ray support will improve?
[02:48] <Srayahu> Nushio, did you do a checksum of the CD?
[02:49] <Dr_Willis> john__:  why/what are you trying to do with GDM anyway?
[02:49] <ardchoille> Dr_Willis: thank you for mentioning the "service", I keep forgetting about it
[02:49] <Izinucs> randomusr: it will... just time is all it takes
[02:49] <Srayahu> randomusr, everything eventually improves, especially in Linux.
[02:49] <Nushio> Srayahu: the cd rom is fine, why does everyone always suggest starting there? >_<
[02:49] <Nushio> It booted on my laptop
[02:49] <Srayahu> Nushio, because we get that a lot.
[02:49] <Dr_Willis> ardchoille:  yep. :) since /etc/init.d/gdm  may not even exist in the next release. :)
[02:49] <john__> ok what I want to do Is change my 800x600 top something bigger  all it gives me is 800x600 or lower
[02:49] <Srayahu> So it starts to boot, then crashes?
[02:49] <ardchoille> ah,ok
[02:49] <sixofour> so i am using ubuntu, and i am xfering files over from my xp pc to my lin box using samba4, well, samba4 is locking the files when  they come to the lin box, so i cannot modify or cut/paste them or anything, how can i force samba to free the permissions up, and still have file sharing?... the file permissions cannot be changed with root...
[02:49] <Izinucs> john__: what kind of video card do you have?
[02:50] <randomusr> I just hope that the industry execs realize how important that is. As media support improves, I suspect linux adoption will go up exponentially
[02:50] <Srayahu> sixofour, did you try chown?
[02:50] <Nushio> awesome, gonna install ubuntu now
[02:50] <Nushio> that was quick, hah
[02:50] <john__>  I have a older video card a vodoo 3dfx card
[02:50] <Dr_Willis> ardchoille:  seems /etc/init.d/gdm is now a link to '/lib/init/upstart-job' in 10.04 :)
[02:50] <sixofour> no, i don't want to break samba, so i am trying alternatives first
[02:50] <sixofour> Srayahu:
[02:50] <ardchoille> Dr_Willis: are they moving away from sysvinit ?
[02:50] <Dr_Willis> john__:   and what is star/stoping/restarting gdm having to do with this
[02:51] <Dr_Willis> ardchoille:  they allready have. theres just a few traces of SysV left.
[02:51] <Srayahu> sixofour, I meant on the incoming files.
[02:51] <ardchoille> ah,ok
[02:51] <Srayahu> I don't know much about Samba. = /
[02:51] <Dr_Willis> ardchoille:  and it seems they did things to still let the old habbits still work. :)
[02:51] <dsnyders> brjann, an update on my plight with gnome.
[02:51] <Izinucs> john__: open System>Admin>Synaptic package manager and search for voodo and see if there is a driver listed that's available.. then install if it's not already installed.
[02:51] <ardchoille> nice
[02:51] <jesse2> weird question.... has anyone managed to get Facebook chat working with empathy? the synaptic description says it supports facebook, but i cant add a facebook account
[02:51] <Dr_Willis> any 3dfx card is so old.. its amazing it still works. :)
[02:51] <sixofour> Srayahu: well the "reviced" folder is locked, and everything in it, if i take ownership, my winxp machine might not be able to modify them either, also, its huge geebees of data, not a few jpgs :P
[02:52] <Izinucs> jesse2: might be a plugin available in the repos
[02:52] <randomusr> how is HDMI support in linux/ubuntu?
[02:52] <john__> Okay I will look
[02:52] <Dr_Willis> !3dfx
[02:52] <ardchoille> Dr_Willis: so now it's "sudo service blah start|stop|restart" ?
[02:52] <ZykoticK9> jesse2, you don't need a plugin anymore -- facebook has switched to jabber - many instructions on net for it
[02:52] <jesse2> oh! thanks
[02:52] <jesse2> i'll just make a jabber account then
[02:52] <Dr_Willis> ardchoille:  thats the proper way. The service command has been around for the last 2+ releases at least
[02:52] <sixofour> Srayahu:  50gb
[02:52] <ardchoille> ok
[02:52] <claws_> any good security tools for ubuntu ?
[02:52] <Srayahu> sixofour, I see. You're trying to maintain function between both machines. >_> Ignore me...
[02:52] <Izinucs> claws_: more than you can count
[02:52] <hdon> how can i toggle hardware accelerated window composition?
[02:52] <Dr_Willis> claws_:  depends on what you need.
[02:52] <Srayahu> Be back soon
[02:52] <sixofour> Srayahu:  yes, also, some files are not working,
[02:53] <sixofour> does linux have a file character name limit?
[02:53] <john__> No driver to found
[02:53] <sixofour> file name character limit*
[02:53] <dsnyders> brjann, There is a file called ~/.configure/monitors.xml that contains the resolution gnome will use.  Mine had the wrong resolution.  After deleting the file, gnome started working again.  Kudos to the folks on #gnome.
[02:53] <Dr_Willis> sixofour:  if it does.. its real real real real high. :)
[02:53] <Izinucs> sixofour: not sure but it doesn't like spaces.. use underscores
[02:53] <claws_> <Dr_Willis:
[02:53] <hdon> sixofour, there is PATH_MAX
[02:53] <claws_> Dr_Willis: gr8.. i wil try some out :)
[02:53] <claws_> ops
[02:53] <claws_> Dr_Willis: internet security pack
[02:53] <Dr_Willis> spaces in file names can cause headaches. Best to use Understores if you Must do such things
[02:53] <sixofour> Izinucs: well, about 300,000 files have spaces in them
[02:54] <Dr_Willis> claws_:  that means very little. sounds like a buzzword/marketing term more then anything else.
[02:54] <sixofour> in about 30 directoriy trees
[02:54] <Izinucs> sixofour: oops. you can still access them.. it just at the command like that you have to use a little different syntax
[02:54] <Dr_Willis> sixofour:  be carefull when doing scripts and command line with spaces in names. It can be a bother.
[02:54] <john__> well I think I will have to find a newer card then I have a nvida card but I do not think it will work on this MB
[02:54] <sixofour> i just want to cut/paste what is already transferede, since i have to do multiple transfers
[02:55] <Dr_Willis> sixofour:  most file managers handle them fine. Its when you get to the command line they can cause issues.
[02:55] <sixofour> i can copypaste, but i don't know if i have enough hd space
[02:55] <dsnyders> sixofour, wherever there is a space you have to use a backslash in front of it.
[02:55] <Izinucs> sixofour: transfers of what? files? entire directories?
[02:55] <hdon> sixofour, don't listen to Izinucs, spaces in filenames are fine.
[02:55] <sixofour> i have a folder, in it is about 30 files and files, those folders have multiple folders in them aswell
[02:56] <claws_> Dr_Willis: well... let me say it this way.. AntiV and Firewall. and if there is a good 2 in 1 tool... i whould be gr8ful to know
[02:56] <artemka1000> hi.  a real linux noob here.  installed ubuntu on my vaio laptop.  seems to work great, but doesn't see/recognize my built-in SD card reader.  i did some searching on forums, but a lot of it is way above my head.  any advice where to start?
[02:56] <sixofour> folders*
[02:56] <Izinucs> hdon: sixofour didn't say they weren't fine.. just that accessing is different
[02:56] <Dr_Willis> claws_:  dont expect 'all in one tools'     each tool tends to be set for a specific task. There are Firewall front ends.. and there are AV software
[02:56] <Dr_Willis> !firewall | claws_
[02:56] <hdon> Izinucs, what you said is irrelevant :\
[02:57] <Dr_Willis> claws_:  i have little need for a firewall on my linux box's - and even LESS need for antivirus software. Unless i want to scan windows binaries befor i put them on a windows box.
[02:57] <tiger_> where to look for syslog about last crash info?
[02:57] <Dr_Willis> claws_:  linux is 'not' windows. and such common things that windows needs. Just dont apply most of the time in linux.
[02:57] <sixofour> antivirus software for linux... lulwut?
[02:58] <Dr_Willis> sixofour:  it exists.
[02:58] <ARC0112358> I need help with VNC client
[02:58] <Izinucs> hdon: irrelevant? that accessing, copying etc from cli is different with files containing spaces? I think not
[02:58] <Dr_Willis> clamav, and avg both have linux av tools.   and proberly some more i cant think of
[02:58] <randomusr> AC0112358: what's up?
[02:58] <sixofour> so i am using ubuntu, and i am xfering files over from my xp pc to my lin box using samba4, well, samba4 is locking the files when  they come to the lin box, so i cannot modify or cut/paste them or anything, how can i force samba to free the permissions up, and still have file sharing?... the file permissions cannot be changed with root...
[02:58] <randomusr> ARC0112358: what's up?
[02:59] <ARC0112358> I can see remote desktop , and control it if I watch remote monitor, but client cant see menus
[02:59] <belak> About how long does the alternate ubuntu install take?
[02:59] <belak> If I know what I want for all the options...
[02:59] <sixofour> install depends on hd speed right?
[02:59] <Dr_Willis> sixofour:  the smb config file can set the default permissions for the files.   Unless you used that user 'right click to share' feature. Not sure how you change those.
[02:59] <coz_> belak,  maybe 20 minutes or less depending on hardware
[02:59] <randomusr> ARC0112358: what are the two OS' involved?
[02:59] <ARC0112358> client wont display pulldowns - its like its not refreshing at client
[02:59] <ARC0112358> ubuntu 91 on both
[02:59] <ARC0112358> 9.10
[02:59] <sixofour> how do i config smb though?
[02:59] <belak> coz_: thanks
[03:00] <claws_> Dr_Willis: good to know :) i have heard of the good security in linux... this is my 5 day on linux.. i have noticed there are big diff between ms and linux.
[03:00] <sixofour> how do i config smb though? Dr_Willis
[03:00] <ardchoille> claws_: just remember, the user is the weakest link in any OS
[03:00] <Dr_Willis> sixofour:  i always edit the /etc/samba/smb.conf file - but ive read the docs and have done samba by hand for years. :)
[03:00] <randomusr> ARC0112358:  uninstall VNC on both, update both systems with update manager and re-install VNC. That worked for me
[03:00] <sixofour> is there no gui or command line atleast?
[03:00] <tiger_> hi, where to look for info of the last crash?
[03:01] <Dr_Willis> sixofour:  i tend to just set up the HOME shares so all users have their home dir shared. I dont use 'user created' shares much
[03:01] <ARC0112358> Which program are you using?
[03:01] <claws_> ardchoille : i will :)
[03:01] <brjann> dsnyders: I have never heard of that file before in my life :D
[03:01] <belak> tiger_: what crashed?
[03:01] <Izinucs> tiger_: perhaps in /var/log
[03:01] <Dr_Willis> !info samba-doc | sixofour
[03:01] <sixofour> well i have to go, i'll figure this out in awhile
[03:01] <Dr_Willis> sixofour:  theres proberly some gui tools.. but i dont use them. and i dont know how they mesh with the 'user share' feature'
[03:01] <brjann> dsnyders: but I'm glad to hear you got it working! I'll remember that for next time. and/or will just send people to #gnome. ;)
[03:01] <tiger_> belak: system crash, shutdow....
[03:02] <belak> Hm...
[03:02] <randomusr> ARC0112358:  VINO and VINAGRE
[03:02] <Izinucs> Dr_Willis: shouldn't smbfs pretty much cover sixofour for network fileshare?
[03:02] <ARC0112358> Is that two programs or a server and a client
[03:02] <ARC0112358> ?
[03:02] <randomusr> Yes
[03:02] <ARC0112358> OK
[03:02] <Dr_Willis> !info smbfs
[03:02] <ARC0112358> Thanks!
[03:02] <randomusr> ARC0112358:  You could also try TIGERVNC
[03:02] <Holman_> will someone please help me, when I try to go into ubuntu from grub it says error: you need to load the kernal first
[03:02] <Dr_Willis> Izinucs:  he stillneeds samba set up properly.
[03:02] <ARC0112358> I'll check it out
[03:02] <Izinucs> Dr_Willis: k.. just wondering
[03:03] <Dr_Willis> samba can set default modes on files that get copied over to various shares.  customizeable on a per share basis
[03:03] <Iceman_B> I just upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10, but I still cant put my desktop to 1440x900 reso to fit my monitor. It┼ø stuck on 1024x768, and im using the Nvidia drivers
[03:03] <Iceman_B> how to fix this?
[03:03] <Holman_> can anyone read this?
[03:03] <dsnyders> brjann, the #gnome folks had me fixed up in two posts.
[03:03] <Iceman_B> Holman_, yup
[03:03] <Izinucs> Iceman_B: you might try nvidia-xconfig or nvidia-settings
[03:04] <brjann> dsnyders: now you're just making me feel bad. :)
[03:04] <randomusr> is there a weather plugin for COMPIZ? Like Live weather?
[03:04] <Holman_> okay thanks, when I try to load ubuntu I get error: you need to load the kernel first
[03:04] <Iceman_B> Izinucs, nvidia-xconfig returns errors, trying -settings now...
[03:04] <Izinucs> randomusr: there's one you can add to the top bar.. right mouse click and choose add.. you'll find it.
[03:05] <Holman_> does anyone know what I should do? I have a lot of important stuff that I don't want to lose
[03:05] <Izinucs> Iceman_B: have you activated the nvidia drivers?
[03:05] <dninja> when i compile with gcc, using the standard profiler option (-pg) and after i run my program, i get no gmon.out as expected. is this something ubuntu has disabled, like core dumps?
[03:05] <xangua> randomusr: you are looking for a screenlet/widget/whatever is called
[03:05] <dsnyders> brjann, Not to worry.  I'm sure those #gnome people would die to know some of the things I've seen you walk other people through.
[03:05] <Iceman_B> Izinucs, yes, I have. and the widget that comes up says CRT-1, and I cant change anything. changing the reso only makes the desktop larger
[03:06] <Iceman_B> not the display itself :/
[03:06] <Holman_> can anyone direct me to a chat where I might get some help?
[03:06] <artemka1000> any advice on a built-in card reader that's not working?  is there a device manager or something where i could search for the hardware?
[03:06] <Izinucs> Iceman_B: you hooked to a tv/monitor?
[03:06] <brjann> dsnyders: aw, thanks. :)
[03:06] <xangua> !ask | Holman_
[03:06] <Iceman_B> Izinucs,  nope, Acer AL1916W lcd widescreen
[03:07] <brjann> dninja: works fine for me with a simple    int main() { return 0; }    program
[03:07] <Izinucs> Iceman_B: which driver and what card do you have?
[03:07] <belak> Holman_: google
[03:07] <Iceman_B> Izinucs, Nvidia driver 185.18.36, gfx card is a GF6800 LE
[03:07] <Holman_> when I try to load ubuntu from grub it says "error: you need to load the kernel first"
[03:08] <Izinucs> Iceman_B: is there a 173 driver also available?
[03:08] <xangua> Holman_: do you uninstalled something┬┐┬┐
[03:08] <Iceman_B> I think so, lemme check
[03:08] <deadlyninja> brjann, do you know if linking to libraries breaks -pg?
[03:08] <belak> Holman_: try an update-grub
[03:08] <belak> http://muammar.me/blog/index.php?/archives/332-error-you-need-to-load-the-linux-kernel-first.html
[03:08] <brjann> deadlyninja: it shouldn't. give me a sec
[03:09] <Iceman_B> Izinucs, yeah. I can choose between 173, 185(now actvd), and 96
[03:09] <Holman_> xangua, no I didn't uninstall anything, I was just working from blackbox and it started acting funny and then just froze up and now won't work
[03:09] <wizard00> i cant install flash player
[03:09] <Holman_> how can I update grub, can I do that from windows?
[03:10] <xangua> wizard00: open software center ;)
[03:10] <wizard00> im on ubumtu 5.10.
[03:10] <Izinucs> Iceman_B: try the 173 and see what happens.. also in cli type xrandr and see if the resolution that you want comes up.. if it doesn't then you'll have to add the resolution to xrandr to make it work.
[03:10] <coop> i have an analog stereo output but sound is very low, sounds muffled, lookng for suggestions on improving sound quality
[03:10] <belak> Holman_: Oh, wait... ehh... I suppose not...
[03:10] <wizard00> that doesnt have software center.
[03:10] <Iceman_B> Izinucs, okay, I─║l try both tips
[03:10] <Iceman_B> brb
[03:10] <Izinucs> Iceman_B: do the 2nd first
[03:10] <belak> Holman_: when you boot, edit the line for booting and change the line with "root" in it to remove the /dev
[03:11] <belak> That probably makes no sense
[03:11] <Iceman_B> ok
[03:11] <detective_> Hello i am having trouble locating a file i downloaded via terminal, I downloaded and extracted a  UFI2ISO program and when i converted the file to iso i cant find it. I followed instructions from this site http://www.nirmaltv.com/2008/06/14/how-to-convert-uif-files-to-iso-format-in-ubuntu/ and did nothing other than what it said if someone could please help me it would be much appreciated
[03:11] <randomusr> xangua, Yes I want a weather widget
[03:11] <randomusr> for Compiz
[03:11] <brjann> deadlyninja: just tested with a program linked against four libraries, still got a gmon.out
[03:11] <Iceman_B> Izinucs, 1440x900       63.0  <-- that comes up in the last line
[03:11] <wizard00> can someone please help mr figure out how to install adobe flash player????
[03:11] <Izinucs> Iceman_B: I've forgotten.. is that what you want?
[03:11] <Iceman_B> yes
[03:12] <brjann> deadlyninja: and this time it was a real program :)
[03:12] <Izinucs> Iceman_B: I'll have ubottu send you a link .. it might help.
[03:12] <Iceman_B> alright
[03:12] <meanburrito920_> does anyone else ever have issues with full-screened graphical programs arbitrarily switching between full screen and windowed mode? (and freezing up in the process?)
[03:12] <Izinucs> !resolution > Iceman_B
[03:12] <deadlyninja> brjann, well this is odd, im using gcc v4.4.1 (Ubuntu 4.4.1-4ubuntu9)
[03:13] <brjann> deadlyninja: are you compiling and linking with the same command? e.g. gcc -pg foo.c -ofoo ?
[03:13] <wizard00> how do i install flash player??
[03:13] <Hebram> !resolution > Hebram
[03:13] <Izinucs> wizard00: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[03:14] <claws_> Dr_Willis: btw... thx for the link's :)
[03:14] <wizard00> tried that. said i didnt have the file
[03:14] <Izinucs> wizard00: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[03:14] <dninja> sorry brjann, my network is broken tonight, missed what you said
[03:14] <dninja> brjann, im compiling .o files
[03:14] <dninja> brjann, and linking them at the end
[03:14] <Izinucs> wizard00: then you have to restart firefox
[03:15] <brjann> dninja: are you both compiling and linking with the -pg flag?
[03:15] <dninja> yes
[03:15] <dninja> brjann, http://codepad.org/1W3kwvmC
[03:15] <coop> above question on muffled audio really meant- is there a software fix or do i just have crappy internal speakers
[03:16] <brjann> dninja: okay, that all looks good. only other thing I can think of is that your program is exiting abnormally, before it can write the gprof file
[03:16] <dninja> brjann, well im getting to EXIT_SUCCESS
[03:17] <wizard00> hings working :(( im goingback to windows xp!!! ubuntu isnt user friendly at all :'(
[03:17] <pw-toxic_> I cant find the following option: I want a window to be maximized, if i double click it - any hints?
[03:17] <detective_> May i get some help please :)
[03:17] <dninja> i am executing some processes from my process, so maybe thats screwing it up somehow
[03:17] <talntid> wizard00, have a good time removing spyware :)
[03:17] <pw-toxic_> furthermore, im looking for a snapping windows like in windows 7.. if i drag a window to the top, i want it maximized
[03:17] <Izinucs> !ask | detective_
[03:17] <detective_> ok
[03:17] <wizard00> thats true......ubuntu doesnt get viruses does it??
[03:18] <talntid> nope.
[03:18] <brjann> dninja: the internet says: "Make sure that your program exits with a call to exit library function or with a return statement in your main function"
[03:18] <wizard00> how can i learn how to get better with ubuntu??
[03:18] <talntid> but, ubuntu is not for the kind of person who isn't willing to spend a little time learning how to do something...
[03:18] <wizard00> it takes practice??
[03:18] <talntid> everything does.
[03:18] <brjann> dninja: perhaps a dumb question, but you do have write permission in your working directory, right? :)
[03:19] <dninja> brjann, yeah i do
[03:19] <talntid> but, it takes thinking about things in a different way, and sometimes googling for answers
[03:19] <Iceman_B> eergh, using xrandr to set 1440x900 mode again streched my desktop, but not actuially the resolution >_<
[03:19] <wizard00> but its so hard. and my distro that i have is outdated so i canr download software from the software center
[03:19] <dninja> brjann, i feel stupid though cause i figured it out
[03:19] <donvito> can i use
[03:19] <dninja> brjann, my program changes the working directory, so the gmon.out went into the working dir
[03:19] <donvito> adobe photoshop on ubuntu
[03:19] <donvito> ?
[03:19] <detective_> I need help finding a file that i have downloaded via terminal(is that better?)
[03:19] <blakkheim> talntid: i disagree with you there
[03:19] <Iceman_B> ill try reverting to the 173 driver
[03:19] <Iceman_B> bbl
[03:19] <pw-toxic_> donvito, there is a cracked version of photoshop
[03:19] <pw-toxic_> CS2
[03:19] <pw-toxic_> it works with wine
[03:19] <donvito> whats wine
[03:20] <pw-toxic_> i didnt get my original CS4 working until today
[03:20] <blakkheim> !wine > donvito
[03:20] <brjann> dninja: hehe, glad to hear it :) no worries!
[03:20] <pw-toxic_> donvito, wine is a windows emulator
[03:20] <talntid> wizard00, even if your distro is outdated, if you show us the real errors it is giving, as opposed to "it doesn't work" -- we can help better
[03:20] <talntid> blakkheim, about what?
[03:20] <blakkheim> pw-toxic_: wine is not an emulator
[03:20] <blakkheim> talntid: ubuntu needing time to learn
[03:20] <wizard00> ok brb! :)
[03:20] <pw-toxic_> blakkheim, what then?
[03:20] <dninja> brjann, thanks though, you helped
[03:20] <blakkheim> pw-toxic_: windows api layer
[03:20] <brjann> dninja: no problem!
[03:20] <pw-toxic_> donvito, if you are a professionall designer, i think you should use windows for working on a design ;(
[03:21] <pw-toxic_> blakkheim, yes and therfore it emulates windows?!
[03:21] <talntid> blakkheim, that's silly. are you saying you know everything there is to know about ubuntu, and you just knew it when you were born?
[03:21] <dns53> pw-toxic_ it is a wrapper that allows you to use windows programs, an emulator pretends to be a cpu etc
[03:21] <pw-toxic_> blakkheim, it makes the program feel beeing windows
[03:21] <wizard00> This program is currently not installable, but should be available in the 'universe' repository. Would you like to enable this repository? (it keeps saying that)
[03:21] <blakkheim> talntid: i'm saying ubuntu is extremely easy to learn to use, even if you've never used linux. it hides the real os and puts up a shiny gui for newbies to use
[03:21] <pw-toxic_> dns53, emulators do not have to be on a CPU basis.. you can also emulate a child or an animal
[03:22] <pw-toxic_> donvito, what do you need photoshop for?
[03:22] <schwert> finally managed to fix my corrupted filesystem... but the whole /usr folder got trashed in the process
[03:22] <talntid> blakkheim, then you just said my point. you do need to learn it though. I didn't say it was hard to learn, did i? :)
[03:22] <kassykillerface> Does anyone know why a HP webcam-50 wouldnt work on blogtv but would on stickam?
[03:22] <talntid> wizard00, did you tell it "yes, enable it!" (or something like that?)
[03:22] <wizard00> idk. ill try
[03:22] <xangua> wizard00: then enable the repository :S
[03:22] <blakkheim> talntid: "ubuntu is not for the kind of person who isn't willing to spend a little time learning" is what you said
[03:23] <blakkheim> talntid: that's where i disagreed
[03:23] <pw-toxic_> I have another question: I remember having used a backup tool for ubuntu, which can save the diffs from several other backups.. i dont remember the name of it
[03:23] <pw-toxic_> i found it in a package of usefull ubuntu tools
[03:23] <blakkheim> pw-toxic_: rsync?
[03:23] <Dr_Willis> 'computers are not for the kind of people who isent willing to spend a little timne learning'
[03:23] <talntid> right, a little time. meaning they can't just jump in and use it 100% productively without any learning...

[03:23] <blakkheim> wizard00: breezy isn't supported anymore
[03:23] <pw-toxic_> blakkheim, rsync is a command line tool - i'm talking of a gui
[03:24] <talntid> ok, wizard00, you are using breezy badger. go get karmic koala :)
[03:24] <blakkheim> pw-toxic_: you don't really need a gui for that, but there are rsync guis available..
[03:24] <talntid> aka 9.10
[03:24] <Dr_Willis> wizard00:  you need to change teh  us.archive.ubuntu to point to some archive/out-of-date-storage server.
[03:24] <pw-toxic_> blakkheim, i guess the tool uses rsync
[03:24] <brjann> pw-toxic_: I've been using backintime for the last few months
[03:24] <pw-toxic_> blakkheim, rsync is just too complicated to manage a bigger amount of backups
[03:24] <pw-toxic_> brjann, i remember this name - i think it was this. Ill check this out. Thanks
[03:24] <kassykillerface> Could anyone tell me how to get drivers for a webcam so it will work on blogTV
[03:24] <kassykillerface> ?
[03:25] <brjann> pw-toxic_: you're welcome :)
[03:25] <blakkheim> pw-toxic_: i use it for fairly large backups on multiple systems and don't find it complicated
[03:25] <Dr_Willis> kassykillerface:  if it works for one flash based web site. but not another.. then its some issue with that sites flash programming - most likely
[03:25] <blakkheim> pw-toxic_: is there something you prefer over it?
[03:25] <pw-toxic_> blakkheim, its not about the size of the backup, but the amount of several different backups and how to manage them
[03:25] <pw-toxic_> blakkheim, i just cant remember simple commands that i only use  times a year
[03:26] <kassykillerface> I'm running normal ubuntu on a netbook. Could that have anything to do with it?
[03:26] <Dr_Willis> !info unison
[03:26] <Dr_Willis> kassykillerface:  if its on a web site using flash.. and the web cam does work in 'cheese' or other apps. then its a site/flash issue
[03:26] <kassykillerface> Alright.
[03:26] <pw-toxic_> brjann, do you know how i can install it? i cant find that package
[03:27] <brjann> pw-toxic_: yes, the packages are backintime-gnome or backintime-kde, depending on your desktop environment
[03:27] <atomik> is there a way i can change the default ubuntu icon? (ie the circular icon that sits in the top-left corner?
[03:27] <atomik> is it an image file i can swap out with another?
[03:28] <Dr_Willis> atomik:  yes. Theres ways. But some ways dont work - depending on what icon theme you are using.
[03:28] <atomik> oh, i see
[03:28] <pw-toxic_> brjann, i just found in the internet, that by 9.04 backinetime is not in the standard repository - so i have to install it manually
[03:28] <donvito> !pdf
[03:28] <pw-toxic_> brjann, and i'm afraid of updating my router ;)
[03:28] <Dr_Willis> atomik:  you can use the 'ubuntu-tweak' tool to change it. and its just a few clicks.  but SOME icon themes dont work properly with the change.
[03:28] <brjann> pw-toxic_: ah, okay. gotcha :)
[03:28] <atomik> thanks dr willis, i'll give that a try
[03:28] <Dr_Willis> atomik:  or select a theme. and  rename it. copy it to .themes and change what you want
[03:28] <detective_> I know you guys are busy but i really need some help :( with finding a file that i downloaded in the terminal
[03:29] <brjann> pw-toxic_: when I was using jaunty I used the deb from their website, too. seemed to work fine
[03:29] <Dr_Willis> detective_:   downloaded with what command exactly?
[03:29] <dsnyders> detective_, telling us you need help won't get you help.  Asking a specific question will.
[03:29] <donvito> !pdf reader
[03:30] <donvito> wich one is good pdf reader for karmic
[03:30] <brjann> donvito: evince is the default, i believe
[03:30] <detective_> wget http://aluigi.altervista.org/mytoolz/uif2iso.zip
[03:30] <Dr_Willis> detective_:  then it is in whatever directrory you were at when you ran that command
[03:31] <atomik> ubuntu tweak is awesome
[03:31] <Dr_Willis> detective_:  you could do 'sudo updatedb' then 'locate uif2iso.zip' and it should find it.
[03:31] <joineric> has anyone else had problems with their mouse disappearing after installing the ati catalyst?
[03:33] <detective_> Dr_Willis, i tryed those commands and nothing happened
[03:33] <Dr_Willis> detective_:   the updatedb command should of taken some time to complete. if locate then did not find it. Then you downloaded it to some directory/location that locate does not 'index' such as /media/SOMTHING
[03:34] <pw-toxic_> brjann, yes this is the program i was looking for
[03:34] <Dr_Willis> detective_:  check your 'history' log and see where you were at.. or just redownload the file
[03:34] <brjann> pw-toxic_: glad to hear it!
[03:34] <pw-toxic_> brjann, maybe you can answer me some additional questsions: how do you use this program? do you use auto backups?
[03:34] <pw-toxic_> brjann, do you backup everything or only important data?
[03:34] <pw-toxic_> brjann, where to do you place the backup.. external HDD.. ?!
[03:35] <nonameNN> no one talks?
[03:36] <brjann> pw-toxic_: I've set it up so that my Documents/ directory is scanned every five minutes, and all the snapshots are just saved in my home directory somewhere.
[03:36] <bazhang> nonameNN, this is a support channel ; chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:36] <Dr_Willis> nonameNN:  Hmm?
[03:36] <pw-toxic_> brjann, how big is your documents folder?
[03:36] <nonameNN> bazhang: thanks
[03:36] <pw-toxic_> brjann, the folders i back up are several GB and have more than 100k of files
[03:36] <pw-toxic_> brjann, i'm webdeveloper and i have LOTS of small files
[03:36] <pw-toxic_> and some bigger from design
[03:37] <brjann> pw-toxic_: That shouldn't be a problem; backintime uses rsync under the hood
[03:37] <pw-toxic_> brjann, so its no problem if there is a BIG folder where only a small part of it changes
[03:37] <pw-toxic_> hmm
[03:37] <pw-toxic_> and if it makes 3 backups
[03:37] <pw-toxic_> can i access all 3 of it?
[03:37] <brjann> pw-toxic_: nope, no problem at all. it will only copy the diffs.
[03:38] <brjann> pw-toxic_: yes. on the left hand side of the window, you can see the snapshots you've taken, and view each of them as if they're actual folders.
[03:38] <pw-toxic_> brjann, sounds really cool.. i think i use the automatic one
[03:38] <fadaken> is there a package that will ask me if i want to mount a cd/dvd and show the hidden files?
[03:38] <pw-toxic_> i think i will also backup my 40GB music folder ;)
[03:39] <Dr_Willis> fadaken:  what hidden files?  in linux files starting with a . are
[03:39] <Dr_Willis> fadaken:  what hidden files?  in linux files starting with a . are  'hidden' by the file manager as an option.
[03:39] <fadaken> i'm trying to install a windows application
[03:39] <brjann> pw-toxic_: the user's manual is pretty good, and explains all the features very well.
[03:40] <Dr_Willis> fadaken:  so - its some how hidden?
[03:40] <pw-toxic_> brjann, which i can find where?
[03:40] <D3RGPS31> since 9.10 came out, i've been having issues with 2D graphics (scroll, video, moving windows) being choppy, but 3D is fine. I'm using fglrx for ati 4850; i've tried all drivers from 9.4 to 10.2, no improvement. what can i do besides downgrading to ubuntu 9.04 or using radeon drivers from xorg-edger's ppa?
[03:40] <brjann> pw-toxic_: launch the program and click the question mark at the top of the window
[03:40] <blakkheim> D3RGPS31: don't buy from ati, enemy of your freedom
[03:40] <acu> Houston we got a problem :)  - I have used partimage to backup an entire system and I was almost to restore it - however the initial system has a bigger hard disk than the one I restore to - though it was very little used - the partimage tells me that it cannot restore the partition from image file because dthe destination hard disk is smaller than the original - any suggestions to bypass this ?
[03:40] <Dusty_> hey folks!
[03:40] <pw-toxic_> brjann, thx
[03:40] <D3RGPS31> blakkeim: i've considered buying nvidia, but i'm too poor to buy anything rite now
[03:40] <brjann> pw-toxic_: no problem :)
[03:41] <fadaken> well i tried to follow a guild on installing World of warcraft and i've been failing very badly
[03:41] <Dusty_> I'm having some trouble getting the ODBC connector working on Linux. I'm using unixODBC with the mysql 5.1 ODBC driver, but I get the following error message: Data source name not found and no default driver specified
[03:41] <Dusty_> does anyone have any helpful hints? :3
[03:41] <brjann> acu: the partimage FAQ says no, restoring to smaller partitions isn't supported. sorry :(
[03:42] <shiverz> any |-|@<Er2
[03:43] <pw-toxic_> brjann, if i'm annoying just dont answer:  i found an autoremove: smart remove option. Sounds cool. Do you use it?
[03:43] <shiverz> any |-|@<Er2
[03:43] <shiverz> any hackerz ??
[03:43] <joineric> D3RGPS31: dont buy ATI, at least not right now, I got a 5870 and I have had nothing but problems with the current drivers
[03:43] <brjann> pw-toxic_: I do, yes
[03:43] <Dusty_> anyone know anything about odbc connectors?
[03:43] <shiverz> any hackerz ??
[03:44] <dj_segfault> Dusty_: A little
[03:44] <D3RGPS31> joineric: so, no real help :/
[03:44] <Dusty_> I just need help getting mine setup ):
[03:44] <zane> hi i would like to setup a remote kvm for my ubuntu desktop can any one give me some tips please
[03:44] <Dusty_> I cant get the environ variables set I dont think
[03:44] <brjann> pw-toxic_: and don't worry about being annoying, we're here to help :)
[03:44] <Dusty_> Zane: http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/
[03:44] <dj_segfault> Dusty_: What are you trying to do specifically, and what's happening?
[03:44] <Dusty_> zane: also try http://code.google.com/p/synergy-plus/
[03:44] <pw-toxic_> brjann, i'm just wondering if i should use that.. because i have a fileserver with 5TB here
[03:45] <joineric> D3RGPS31: I'm trying to get help myself, every time I install the catalyst and driver my mouse disappears
[03:45] <zane> Dusty_,  thanks
[03:45] <D3RGPS31> i've run into the same thing
[03:45] <brjann> pw-toxic_: it really depends on how often you're going to take snapshots. you don't want to have to scroll through 10000 snapshots just to get to last month, do you? :)
[03:45] <Dusty_> dj_segfault: well, I have a VB6 application running in WINE. It uses an ODBC connector, and I'm hooking unixODBC into wine's builtin ODBC manager, but I cant configure the basics of unixODBC right. Dno how to.
[03:45] <pw-toxic_> brjann, one per day
[03:45] <dj_segfault> Is there a command to verify the files in a package?  I installed mythexport, but the file /etc/apache2/sites-available/mythexport.conf does not exist on my system.
[03:45] <Dusty_> zane: no problem.
[03:46] <shiverz> any hackerz here ???/
[03:46] <pw-toxic_> brjann, i make backups for hardware failures - not for human failures
[03:46] <karma_police> any quick and easy tutorial about sharing files over a network with windows and linux pc's?
[03:46] <shiverz> any hackers here ???
[03:46] <karma_police> main pc with the files is running ubuntu
[03:46] <brjann> pw-toxic_: then you probably don't have anything to worry about. if you feel like you've got too many old snapshots, you can always turn on smart remove
[03:46] <dj_segfault> Dusty_: Ouch.  Getting wine involved is beyond me. Sorry.
[03:46] <PeskyJ> karma_police: that's real easy, use samba
[03:46] <brjann> !offtopic | shiverz
[03:47] <pw-toxic_> brjann, so you turn on smart remove so that you get a good overview of your snapshots - not for space reasons?
[03:47] <shiverz> k thnks
[03:47] <karma_police> i have dl samba.. what next? no GUI?
[03:47] <Dusty_> dj_segfault: well I figure it's jsut a really basic configuration error not even dealing with wine. just setting the basics up for unixODBC
[03:47] <PeskyJ> karma_police: it has a web interface, but this probably isn't the channel for questions about samba
[03:48] <marc__> Take a computer that have 2 network card.  the main OS (ubuntu server) is connected to the local network using eth0, can a VM use the other card (eth1) and that card would be connected to another network?
[03:48] <brjann> pw-toxic_: yes, more or less. For keeping histories of documents and such, I usually want to have a couple of backups of recent work, plus some historical backups just in case.
[03:48] <karma_police> ok. is there a samba channel?
[03:48] <karma_police> or tutorial?
[03:48] <PeskyJ> karma_police: dunno, try it... and also search for one as they might be on a different irc network
[03:48] <Dr_Willis> karma_police:  samba has 10000's of docs and guides and tutorial web pages
[03:49] <Dr_Willis> !info samba-doc | karma_police
[03:49] <Dr_Willis> !samba
[03:49] <brjann> karma_police: yes, #samba
[03:49] <Dr_Willis> I dont suggest using swat :) but if you do use swat.. backup your configs first
[03:49] <karma_police> cool
[03:49] <nbren> er...what does "A follow by b follow by c" mean? i'm a english learner
[03:50] <karma_police> is there s cript that will automatically mount my secondary hdd and activate firestarter upon startup?
[03:50] <karma_police> *script
[03:50] <PeskyJ> nbren: it means do A then do B then do C
[03:50] <nbren> iok
[03:50] <Dr_Willis> nbren:  'A B C' (a followed by B, followed by C' :)
[03:50] <nbren> thanks
[03:50] <khaerul> game onlain
[03:50] <brjann> nbren: there are ubuntu channels in a number of different languages, if you'd feel more comfortable
[03:51] <coop> looking for a solution to manage flip camera files on ubuntu
[03:51] <karma_police> whenever i reboot i have to manually mount my hdd and start my firewall.. is there a startup manager that can handle this?
[03:51] <blakkheim> karma_police: man fstab for the hdd mounting
[03:51] <dj_segfault> coop: Doesn't it just look like a USB hard drive to Ubuntu?
[03:51] <blakkheim> karma_police: your firewall should start as a daemon without you doing anything
[03:52] <coop> yes, but cant upload files w/o flipshare software
[03:52] <karma_police> i have to select it from the applications list and it wants authentication
[03:52] <timyeung> hey, I want to write a scrip to control amarok that is on playing on my server. is there somewhere where I can learn python quickly?
[03:53] <brjann> timyeung: i'm sure the folks in #python would know a few places :)
[03:53] <dj_segfault> coop: Do you mean copy from the flip to your computer or from your computer to the flip?
[03:53] <jsec> timyeung, the matrix?
[03:53] <jsec> >_>
[03:53] <timyeung> haha
[03:54] <coop> dj_segfault: I want to be able to either upload to flipshare, which requires their software to do it was hoping someone had aworkaround
[03:54] <dj_segfault> Is there a dpkg or apt command to verify all the files in a package are there and have the right permissions, like RPM has?
[03:54] <karma_police> i am constantly reminded of how much of a noob i really am
[03:54] <coop> dj_segfault: copying to hd works ok, but difficult to share with others
[03:54] <dj_segfault> coop: Again, I thought it just appears as a USB hard drive you can drag files to and from.
[03:54] <karma_police> #samba
[03:55] <dj_segfault> coop: How would you like to share them with others?  What exactly would you like to do?
[03:55] <coop> dj_segfault: u can, that works! but once on hd cant upload them w/o share software
[03:56] <dj_segfault> coop: I asked you what you mean by upload before.  It's an ambiguous term.
[03:56] <PeskyJ> karma_police: there's a command you can use to control startup services, but I can't remember it - maybe someone else can?
[03:56] <trism> timyeung: http://docs.python.org/tutorial/ covers the basics you'll need for python and http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=117&t=74202 shows you how to control it with dbus
[03:56] <googeek> Help please. Can't manage to get my new laptop's internal speakers to mute when i plug in my headphones  http://paste.ubuntu.com/385472/
[03:56] <sal_> hello frm ny
[03:56] <dj_segfault> googeek: Let me guess.  An HP?
[03:56] <sal_> Ubuntu is It !!
[03:57] <sal_>  I truley  luv it
[03:57] <dj_segfault> sal_: How is that two feet of snow sitting on ya?
[03:57] <sal_> lol
[03:57] <googeek> I know it's probably a manner of adding a command to the alsa-base file, but i don't know what to add
[03:57] <brjann> PeskyJ: are you thinking of sysv-rc-conf?
[03:57] <sal_>  pls dont remind me my back is still hurtin frm shovelin
[03:57] <coop> dj_segfault sorry for being aloof, flip has an online service to share the videos w others, so in win/ac you plug camera in usb, proprietary software organizes and uploads to share service, that sofware isnt supported on lnux
[03:57] <dj_segfault> googeek: Is it an HP?
[03:58] <PeskyJ> brjann: don't think so, it's something like <cmd> <service> on|off
[03:58] <Younder> isn't the cffi darcs version stable?
[03:58] <googeek>  dj_segfault: compaq, but for all intents and pourposes, yeah
[03:59] <dj_segfault> coop: I understand now.  I would just use youtube or one of it's hundreds of clones.  If they set it up proprietary I'm not sure there's a way around that.
[03:59] <sal_>  Hey there any one know a good  video chat program that ...clones ooo voo
[03:59] <brjann> PeskyJ: yes, that's how sysv-rc-conf works. though it may go by different names, i suppose. i've seen update-rc.d also, but I can't remember if that was ubuntu
[03:59] <PeskyJ> brjann: actually - I think I'm thinking of some command use din CentOS
[04:00] <dj_segfault> googeek: I see that question all the time, and have tried to fix it myself.  I know HP did a wonky thing and has separate outputs from the sound chip for headphones and speakers, instead of using the switch in the headphone jack.  I have not heard of a solution myself.
[04:01] <googeek> dj_segfault : dammit. well, thanks anyway
[04:01] <dj_segfault> googeek: At least you know it's not you.
[04:01] <googeek> dj_segfault : would i have better luck with a toshiba?
[04:01] <sal_> hello
[04:02] <dj_segfault> googeek: I have only seen that problem with HP.
[04:02] <googeek> dj_segfault: well, yeah it makes me feel a little less crappy, I've tried three or four solutions already, none of them work at all
[04:02] <pw-toxic_> why is there no thunderbird 3 for ubuntu?
[04:02] <dj_segfault> googeek:  Trust me, I've walked people through playing with the mixer, etc.  No go.
[04:02] <Dr_Willis> pw-toxic_:  there may be a PPA or other unofficial repos for it
[04:03] <phat> hi guys, I'm currently using the nvidia driver version 185, would there be any risk in upgrading to the 190 version?
[04:03] <googeek> dj_segfault : so, basically, I'm out of luck with this box if I want headphones? (which i totally need)
[04:03] <pw-toxic_> Dr_Willis, i'm sure there is, but i dont want to add unofficial ones ;(
