[17:19] <FCGreg> Lxndr: Here is the real test.  If I were you, i would get any Windows machine, plug it in to the same network cable you are using at this moment, and try to connect with that.  if it works, we know your router/modem is fine.  otherwise you will have found your problem
[17:20] <ia9371> hello
[17:20] <FCGreg> Lxndr: an alternative option is to use VirtualBox or similiar (like VMWare) and install Windows on your Ubuntu machine.  then install the VPN connection inside of that and see if it works)
[17:20] <sacarlson> fizy[laptop]: my customers don't like it if networks fails for more than 5 min and I'm to lazy to check it so that's what computers are for
[17:20] <ia9371> when i unplug headphone i still dont get sound out of computer speaker
[17:20] <ia9371> im using ubuntu 10
[17:21] <glaceman> ia9371:  me too :d
[17:21] <nixbox> i am having an issue with a new ubuntu install, during the installation i selected automatically detect the keyboard layout, it asked me to enter a bunch of keys and finally selected US layout with dead keys, the problem is that even if i try to change it now from Preferences->Keyboard->Layout it does not do it revert it to a normal keyboard layout, i tried deleting US (with dead keys) and just using "US", no change
[17:21] <glaceman> ia9371: get used to it ;)
[17:21] <ia9371> glaceman: what do you mean get used to it
[17:22] <franz_> hi, is there a way to rebuild the ip routing table from scratch?
[17:22] <franz_> the one displayed with 'ip route show table main'
[17:22] <glaceman> ia9371: i tried everything possible i have a mini laptop, sound working only via headphones, now maybe wiating for the next distribution update
[17:22] <bencahill> how can i edit file associations so that there are only two for png, e.g.?
[17:22] <glaceman> at least that's my case
[17:22] <FCGreg> Lxndr: but i'm afraid I'm out of options to help you.  stick with that plan and you should have your answer.
[17:22] <franz_> (I fucked it up and lost networking, and it is a collocated server so I have to tell the people that have physical access to it to fix it)
[17:23] <IdleOne> !language | franz_
 did the sound work at first than you plug in head phone and now it only work through headphone
[17:23] <franz_> whoops, sorry
[17:23] <minimec> ia9371: If jack sense is not working by default, it normally doesn't work. So is not working correctly with your hardware. That is, what glaceman was saying. You could try to use alsamixer in a console. Maybe there is a JAck sense option.
[17:23] <glaceman> ia9371: nope but i know my sound work on other distros
[17:23] <minimec> ia9371: alsa is not working correctly ...
[17:24] <glaceman> minimec:  no jack sence :s
[17:24] <vBm> I'd really need help to figure out why i get "failed to mount windows share" error ... anyone ?
[17:24] <ia9371> how do i chek is alsamer is working?
[17:24] <glaceman> vBm:
[17:24] <glaceman> ur running linux trying to mount windows shares such as C$ etc...
[17:24] <fizy[laptop]> sacarlson still connected to the old one. oh well. ill just delete the old one
[17:24] <glaceman> ?
[17:24] <minimec> ia9371: open a console and type alsamixer in it.
[17:25] <ia9371> than what
[17:25] <FCGreg> and here is a link that shows specific tests for debugging the problem you are having (although it is somewhat advanced):  http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-diagnosis.phtml#lcp_timeout
[17:25] <lucenut> OK peeps. I did a dual boot installation TWICE now on a nice VAIO laptop with 4G of RAM. Windows 7 Ultimate x 64 first, then Ubuntu 10.10 and did the option of install alongside. Both OSs seemed great until I let the Ubuntu do it's upgrades. It worked and worked and I let it try all night. Then this morning I hardbooted it. Now it'll boot into ubuntu and the keyboard or touchpad don't respond.
[17:25] <lucenut> The clock is working I can see!
[17:25] <litropy> Peeps, on my main partition, I have no use of my mouse and keyboard. When I booted into my secondary partition, chrooted, apt-get update and apt-get safe-upgrade, I found it can't open /proc/bus/pci to generate the new linux kernel image ... because /proc is empty. Any ideas?
[17:25] <vBm> glaceman, i'm trying to access shared folder from win7 via samba ... ubuntu can access public shared folder from win7 but when i want to share my music from other drive i get that error
[17:25] <bencahill> lucenut: can you boot into the older kernel in grub?
[17:26] <n-iCe> mont: you must especify the filesystem type, how do I do this exactly?
[17:26] <glaceman> vBm: alt + F2 , this should brings up the run application console, then type in smb://hostname_or_ip_adress/c$
[17:26] <bencahill> litropy: same prob as lucenut? :-/
[17:26] <lucenut> I don't know what you mean bencahill.
[17:26] <lucenut> (noob)
[17:26] <bencahill> lucenut: :)
[17:26] <bencahill> !grub | lucenut
[17:26] <glaceman> vBm: example: ......   smb://<IP_ADDRESS>/c$
[17:26] <gregoire> hi
[17:27] <litropy> bencahill: definitely same symptoms
[17:27] <Lxndr> FCGreg: Okay, one of my roommates has just supplied me with a windows netbook. It's tiny, but it appears to have an ethernet plug. Will hopefully be back in the near future, on the windows thing.
[17:27] <bencahill> litropy: weird, posted within one minute of each other :O
[17:27] <lucenut> Sorry, still don't know what to do with that ben.
[17:27] <FCGreg> Lxndr: OK... good luck with it.  I'm out... have a nice day
[17:27] <bencahill> Lxndr: lol cya :)
[17:27] <lucenut> That says for ubuntu prior to 9.1
[17:27] <lucenut> This is 10.10?
[17:27] <bassliner> http://www.heyokay.com/images/ubuntu%20release%20party.jpg
[17:28] <bencahill> lucenut: sry
[17:28] <bencahill> !grub2 | lucenut
[17:28] <vBm> glaceman, i get could not open location ... "failed to mount windows share" error again
[17:28] <glaceman> vBm: can u ping ur ubuntu computer from windows ?
[17:28] <litropy> bencahill: I can boot into the older kernel, but I get the same result
[17:28] <vBm> glaceman, yes
[17:29] <bencahill> litropy: hm, I don't know then...this is 10.10?
[17:29] <glaceman> vBm: did u tried disabling ur firewall in windows
[17:29] <vBm> glaceman, it's already disabled
[17:29] <litropy> bencahill: isn't /proc/pci the place where key/touchpad settings reside? 10.10
[17:29] <bencahill> litropy, lucenut: what's your computer model? wondering if it's something with the mobo/drivers or something...
[17:30] <Krishnandu> Hi, how can I monitor temperatures of processor, internal temp. etc??
[17:30] <bencahill> litropy: you probably know more than me :)
[17:30] <litropy> bencahill: nevermind, it works
[17:30] <bastidrazor> Krishnandu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto
[17:30] <noob124bit> Hello i've got a little problem with my server. I've got lot of apache process running and few free ram left. Any configuration to change in apache2.conf to reduce the number of apache process ?
[17:30] <bencahill> litropy: :S
[17:30] <AbhiJit> !sensors | Krishnandu
[17:30] <bencahill> litropy: did you do anything differenct, for lucenut's sake?
[17:31] <bencahill> s/differenct/different/
[17:31] <ben_q> Hey, I have a problem with ssh:  when I use ssh to keep a socks connection open, the one-line-command "ssh -f -R 51299:localhost:22 -L 1080:l11:51307 l11 ssh -f -N -D <IP_ADDRESS>:51307 localhost"  gets disconnected quite fast within minutes stating "closed by remote host".  However, when I do the same separately, first login to the remote machine, then execute the command, it stays connected for hours and hours. How can I make the one-line
[17:31] <ben_q> r more stable?
[17:31] <Krishnandu> thanks bastidrazor and AbhiJit :)
[17:31] <glaceman> vBm: did u tried installing samba package ?
[17:31] <litropy> lucenut: you have to load into another partition/boot from a usb drive, mount your partition, chroot into the partition, apt-get update and apt-get safe-upgrade ... at least that's what worked for me.
[17:32] <AbhiJit> Krishnandu, welcome
[17:32] <Krishnandu> :)
[17:32] <bencahill> hey peeps, how can i edit file associations so that there are only two?
[17:32] <vBm> glaceman, it's already installed :$
[17:32] <glaceman> vBm: mmmmmmmmmm
[17:32] <bencahill> litropy: thx, let's hope that fixes it for him too :)
[17:32] <glaceman> vBm: silly question but do u have a user with a password on windows ?
[17:32] <glaceman> vBm: blank password sometimes dosen't work
[17:33] <Pici> noob124bit: Take a look at the sections under the 'Server-Pool Size Regulation (MPM specific)' settings in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf .  If you need help with those specific parameters, #httpd would probably be a better place to ask (thats Apache's help channel)
[17:33] <litropy> bencahill: uuuuuh ... well, I'm on the login screen ... and the user chooser isn't working? I don't see my user ... so I can click it. Hm.
[17:33] <lucenut> Bencahill. What would I be trying to boot into from this GRUB2?
[17:34] <bencahill> vBm: can you mount the share from another windows computer
[17:34] <vBm> glaceman, no i don't have pass on my win account ... also pass protection is disabled in win7 ... (i don't get window where i have to enter user/pass)
[17:34] <vBm> bencahill, i don't have other computers on this network ... just two pc's
[17:34] <sacarlson> ben_q: I'm not sure but maybe a tunnel setup with something like: openvpn --remote remote.site.ip.or.com --dev tun0  --ifconfig <IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS>
[17:34] <bencahill> lucenut: are there two kernel versions?
[17:34] <bencahill> !kernel
[17:34] <noob124bit> Pici, thanks a lot . I'm going there
[17:34] <glaceman> vBm: having a password on windows is essential for sharing purposes, trying doing it and retry smb://ipadress/c$
[17:35] <vBm> glaceman, k ... lets change that and reboot win machine
[17:35] <glaceman> vBm: no need to reboot,  just retry,
[17:36] <bencahill> vBm: yeah, definitely have a password...you can still make it autologon if you wish
[17:36] <bencahill> vBm: yeah, no need to reboot
[17:36] <bencahill> so, file associations anyone? :D
[17:37] <vBm> glaceman, bencahill ... still the same lads ;x
[17:37] <glaceman> mmm
[17:37] <ActionParsnip> bencahill: right click a file and select open with, then select the app you want to open that sort of file with
[17:37] <glaceman> vBm: are you trying a hostname or an ip adress ?
[17:38] <vBm> glaceman, i've tried both :)
[17:38] <ben_q> sacarlson, I don't have an openvpn server installed on the remote machine and I can't either, cause no root rights
[17:38] <glaceman> weird !!
[17:38] <bencahill> ActionParsnip: yes of course :), but can I trim down the associations with a particular filetype (mimetype?) so they show in the first-level menu? they used to do this, before I added more associations to them :)
[17:38] <vBm> glaceman, i'm trying to figure this stuff out for few days already ;x
[17:38] <glaceman> ok let's start over again
[17:38] <share> hi
[17:38] <vBm> glaceman, funny thing is that it used to work back on ubuntu 9.04 :)
[17:39] <bencahill> ActionParsnip: I've looked in /etc/gnome/defaults.list, but it's kind of confusing :)
[17:39] <glaceman> vBm: both machines are on the same networks, firewalls disabled, fixed ip adresses
[17:39] <vBm> glaceman, correct
[17:39] <glaceman> vBm: they can ping each others
[17:39] <vBm> glaceman, correct again
[17:39] <ActionParsnip> bencahill: could edit ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
[17:39] <PoppaVic> oi.. Apparmor is killin' me: it won't mount the usb dvdrw. All of this was working before 10.10 - solutions?
[17:39] <sniperjo_> im having xserver problems
[17:40] <glaceman> vBm: u tried as i said the alt + f2 option from there
[17:40] <ActionParsnip> bencahill: as far as I know it gets added but i've not used gnome for a time now
[17:40] <sacarlson> ben_q: in this case the remote is the client but you would still need to sudo apt-get install openvpn on that system so if that's not posible I'm not open for any new idea
[17:40] <ActionParsnip> PoppaVic: could add an entry in /etc/fstab for the device
[17:40] <glaceman> vBm: not from a terminal
[17:41] <PoppaVic> hmm
[17:41] <ks07> Hey guys, a long time ago now I encrypted a password... but I cant for the life of me remember what program I used to do it... any ideas?
[17:41] <vBm> glaceman, yes ... i've tried that ... i've tried using -> places -> network -> etc.
[17:41] <ks07> the only clues I have are "-a" and "aes-256-cbc" from the original command :?
[17:41] <ia9371> how do i chek is alsamer is working?
[17:42] <nwaggie> new install, can't get above 800x600 on mobile intel 4 series express video card. any clues?
[17:42] <bencahill> ActionParsnip: thanks, that helped me with some of it, but there's still (e.g. for png) firefox, gimp, and shotwell...I think if it's down below a certain number (2 or 3?) then it will show in the main menu...
[17:42] <chris_bsd> ks07: gpg?
[17:42] <AbhiJit> [17:42] <AbhiJit> [17:42] <AbhiJit> [17:42] <FloodBot1> AbhiJit: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:42] <ks07> ...
[17:42] <bencahill> here he goes :)
[17:43] <datacrusher> and counting
[17:43] <datacrusher> bam!
[17:43] <bencahill> and bam!
[17:43] <Pici> The commentary isn't needed.
[17:43] <datacrusher> :D
[17:43] <bencahill> Pici: sry :)
[17:43] <gusg> my system has a few python distributions (like 4) . When I install a module in a .deb package, how do I know where it is being installed?
[17:43] <chris_bsd> ks07: was it gpg?
[17:43] <AbhiJit> Pici, i was repairing the mouse. i accidently pressed the button on keyboard sorry
[17:44] <ks07> Ill have a look...
[17:44] <zakwilson> I wonder why it is that this is the only channel of the 20 or so I have open that regularly gets people flooding.
[17:44] <compdoc> just lucky
[17:44] <nwaggie> new install, can't get above 800x600 on mobile intel 4 series express video card. where would I get ubuntu drivers off the net?
[17:44] <Pici> AbhiJit: Okay, I had a feeling it wasn't intended :)
[17:44] <AbhiJit> Pici, yah
[17:44] <bencahill> lol :)
[17:44] <rww> zakwilson: because this is likely to be the largest of the 20 or so channels you have open ;)
[17:44] <ZykoticK9> chris_bsd, gpg is the GNU version of pgp - pretty good privacy - it's encryption
[17:44] <ia9371> how do i turn off headphone and turn on speake
[17:44] <chris_bsd> ZykoticK9: i know
[17:44] <glaceman> vBm: can u see the windows computer form the network places ?
[17:45] <ZykoticK9> chris_bsd, oh sorry my bad - "was it" vs "what is"
[17:45] <nwaggie> help
[17:45] <chris_bsd> ZykoticK9: :-)
[17:45] <zakwilson> rww: that is, in fact the case. There are several that are half the size though, and they never get flooders.
[17:45] <vBm> glaceman, yes ... i also see all the folders i've shared there ... but only 'Users' one can be accessed (the default one win7 shares)
[17:45] <nwaggie> im stuck at 800x600
[17:46] <glaceman> vBm: ok so ur problem is really about mounting them
[17:46]  * frewo64 is back.
[17:46] <ia9371> How to I turn off headphone and turn on speaker
[17:46] <glaceman> hold on
[17:46] <sergio_> does the livecd bring gparted ?
[17:46] <JerryM> any help reinstalling ubuntu? from usb, get to 'Preparing to install Ubuntu' and seems to get stuck in loop - waited 30 min, still no change
[17:46] <vBm> glaceman, yes sir ... my communication skills are not that good so i might be leading you off into other direction before ... sorry about that
[17:47] <ks07> okay, no idea what im doing :p
[17:47] <chris_bsd> ks07: or did you mean openssl?
[17:47] <ks07> I have no idea
[17:47] <ks07> lol
[17:47] <nwaggie> i want my money back
[17:47] <ks07> Ill have a look :p
[17:47] <rethus> have installed gnome first time (maverick 10.10
[17:48] <sillykone> Is there any way to allow PHP files in home directories?  I can get to public_html folders just fine, but when I try to get to http://localhost/~user/index.php, for instance, my browser (Opera) asks if I want to open it with a different application.  PHP works fine when I use the localhost root.  Any help?
[17:48] <compdoc> vBm, what permissions are set on the shared folders? is root the owner?
[17:48] <rethus> evolution is an old version - tells me someone in #evolution, cause 3.32 is actual stable release
[17:48] <glaceman> vBm:
[17:48] <rethus> where can i get this for maverick
[17:48] <glaceman> vBm: try installing smb4k
[17:48] <glaceman> it's a gui utility
[17:48] <glaceman> sorry it's for KDE
[17:49] <glaceman> hey guys
[17:49] <glaceman> any one able to help vBm  please
[17:49] <glaceman> im out of thoughts
[17:49] <ks07> right looks like I did use openssl... how do I decode with it? xD
[17:49] <vBm> compdoc, "Everyone" has all rights ;x
[17:49] <glaceman> vBm: can see network ressources , but is unable to mount them
[17:50] <ks07> k nvm found it
[17:50] <chris_bsd> ks07: man openssl and RTFM ;-)
[17:50] <compdoc> vBm, usually, its how you have smb.conf set up, and the folder permissions
[17:50] <Pici> sillykone: www-data needs to be able to exectute the php files, so you'll need to adjust your permissions appropriately.
[17:50] <ks07> yeah :p
[17:50] <bencahill> vBm: does it work using mount (command)?
[17:51] <vBm> compdoc, i haven't edited smb.conf at all thou
[17:51] <JerryM> suggestions for help with install after consulting documentation, recreating usb install drive, reconfiguring boot, etc?
[17:51] <compdoc> thats prolly why then
[17:51] <ia9371> in ubuntu 10 there no way to switch between headphone and speaker?
[17:51] <nwaggie> miss me?
[17:51] <glaceman> vBm: have been 4 days now running ubuntu, but today at work, i was properly able to access all my network ressources via smb://ip
[17:51] <Sup3rkiddo> Hi folks.. When booting into single user mode, it hangs at UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY: RUN fsck MANUALLY. Any idea how I can bring a prompt so that I can try to salvage the screwup?
[17:51] <glaceman> smb://ipadress/c$
[17:52] <glaceman> but first i tried to install a printer, and it installed something for sharing stuffs
[17:52] <Sup3rkiddo> oh yeah, my laptop's CD drive is borked as well
[17:52] <Sup3rkiddo> so I have no way of booting from a live CD
[17:52] <sacarlson> sillykone: what I do is setup a symbolic link from my /home/user/php dir to a directory that is in /var/www/phptest  so that the files in that dir will be seen in my browser from apache2
[17:52] <compdoc> vBm, oh, I thought you were trying to access samba shares from windows
[17:52] <sillykone> Pici: I know: both the home directory and the public_html directory (and the contained files) are readable by all.
[17:52] <sillykone> And executable.
[17:52] <bencahill> vBm: try this:
[17:53] <bencahill> vBm: sudo mount -t cifs //sever/share /path/to/mount/point
[17:53] <KM0201> Sup3rkiddo: can you boot USB?
[17:53] <ks07> >.< bad magic number... why cant it just be 3
[17:53] <Sup3rkiddo> KM0201, no :(... Booting from USB doesn't seem to work as well
[17:54] <sillykone> sacarlson: Sometimes the bonehead solution is the one that works. :P  Thanks.
[17:54] <vBm> bencahill, mount error(12): Cannot allocate memory
[17:54] <vBm> that's what i get now
[17:54] <tim__> hey guys
[17:54] <Sup3rkiddo> KM0201, Is there any param I can pass apart from the 'ro single'
[17:54] <bencahill> vBm: ? weird
[17:55] <ia9371> switch between headphone and speaker
[17:55] <tim__> anyone know where i can buy a computer like the mac mini but has open-hardware
[17:55] <Pici> !ot | tim__
[17:55] <litropy> Peeps, how do I get multiple consoles in recovery mode? I just get a blinking "_" When I Ctrl+Alt+Fx
[17:56] <litropy> furthermore, adding "&" to the end of my command doesn't work ... very well.
[17:56] <compdoc> tim_, they sell tiny computers
[17:56] <tim__> what does sudo apt-get install nuke do?
[17:56] <litropy> Nevermind, peeps I did what I had to do.
[17:57] <bencahill> vBm: okay, do you have any pertinent items in Event Viewer?
[17:57] <bencahill> vBm: (on the windows machine)
[17:57] <bencahill> vBm: btw, what v of windows?
[17:57] <xcthulhu> What is a good netbook to buy for ubuntu?
[17:58] <rogue780> ubuntu won't detect my monitor, so I'm stuck at max resolution of 800x600. how can I manually increase it to 1024x768? even if it's a virtual resolution of sorts, I need to get a bigger screen so I can click a button
[17:59] <bencahill> rogue780: anything in System > Administration > Additional Drivers ?
[17:59] <rogue780> bencahill, it says there are non available
[17:59] <rogue780> it's on this old dell server with a kvm switch
[17:59] <ia9371> is ther anyway to switch between headphone and speaker sounds?!
[17:59] <ia9371> in ubuntu 10
[17:59] <bencahill> rogue780: ok, just curious
[17:59] <rethus> evolution is an old version - tells me someone in #evolution, cause 3.32 is actual stable release.  where can i get this for maverick
[17:59] <vBm> bencahill, win7 ultimate ... and let me see for even viewer ... also this is when i get if i try smbmount -> http://paste.omertabeyond.com/view/raw/2290cac0
[17:59] <bencahill> rogue780: it could be the kvm switch, can you nix it from the equation?
[18:00] <jhford> is there a way to allow more than one libnotify toast per application in ubuntu?
[18:00] <rogue780> unfortunatly, no
[18:00] <jhford> rogue780: was that for me?
[18:00] <bencahill> vBm: you need to be running smbmount ^^ as root (sudo)
[18:00] <bencahill> vBm: ...or add it to /etc/fstab with the "user" option
[18:01] <rogue780> jhford, no it was for bencahill
[18:01] <jhford> ah, k (i just joined, i was going to say that was a quick response ;)
[18:02] <sum1nil> Hello, I have a question about Glib trying to allocate tons of memory
[18:02] <bencahill> lol

[18:11] <bgmerrell> Upstart question.  I am trying to start a server process on startup, but the upstart script only works properly sometimes.  The server program resides on an nfs share, so I am wondering if sometimes nfs isn't up before my upstart script runs.  Any suggestions?
[18:12] <bgmerrell> http://pastebin.com/mGTDa938
[18:12] <bgmerrell>  /home is an nfs mount
[18:12] <rogue780> Dell power edge 850

[18:13] <AbhiJit> induz,  you cant directly upgrade to 10.10 from 9.10
[18:13] <induz> is the upgrade going to efetc my data
[18:13] <AbhiJit> induz, you have to go to 10.04 from 9.10 and then you can go to 10.10 that is what i was telling to tim__
[18:13] <TimR> hey guys can anybody help me out with perl module for Net/SMTP/TLS/ButMaintained.pm  for server 10.04LTS
[18:13] <AbhiJit> induz, no
[18:13] <AbhiJit> induz, nothing effecting in you /home
[18:13] <ia9371> so what is the problem with the Sound in UBuntu 10
[18:13] <ia9371> is there anything I can do to
[18:14] <induz> AbhiJit, what about WINE and saved data on c: via WINE
[18:14] <bencahill> induz: that's in home, at least with the default WINEPREFIX
[18:14] <AbhiJit> induz, as per i know no problem because all your wine data is on your /home only so there should not be any problem
[18:14] <induz> is there any known DELL wireless 1450 card problem on 10.4.1
[18:15] <x64-amd> hi all
[18:15] <night> popey ... i never set`up a pass for user default i tryed to change the pass but it keeps promting me with wrong pass! What should i do!?:D
[18:15] <chrisetc> Is there any sort of order for requesting support? Or should I just go about and ask?
[18:15] <Pici> chrisetc: Just ask.
[18:15] <bencahill> AbhiJit, induz: unless you're using other WINEPREFIX's, of course, in that case your data will be wherever you put
[18:15] <x64-amd> can i talk to someone in private about opensolaris?
[18:15] <Pici> x64-amd: Try #opensolaris
[18:15] <induz> AbhiJit, is there any problem of bugs regarding DELL 1450 card?
[18:15] <AbhiJit> induz, no idea
[18:16] <induz> is it a good idea to Upgrade?

[18:16] <bencahill> how can i change filetype associations?
[18:16] <induz> I dont have any problem with Karmic so far
[18:16] <chrisetc> Right. Well, I haven't touched anything unix based since I was thirteen, so I am quite lost. I don't remember anything. I recently made the switch from windows 7 to netbook remix and after the recent update it seems unity has disapeared on me. No gui whatsover. Except my cursor is now a black x.
[18:16] <Pici> bencahill: In GNOME?
[18:17] <TimR> hey guys can anybody help me out with perl module for Net/SMTP/TLS/ButMaintained.pm  for server 10.04LTS
[18:17] <bencahill> Pici: yes, I want to "un-associate" some applications, i.e.
[18:17] <rogue780> bencahill, it's a "VGA compatabil controller" made by XGI and it is an Z7/Z9 (XG20 core)
[18:17] <Pici> !details | TimR
[18:17] <Pici> bencahill: As far as I know you need to do that manually for each file type.
[18:18] <bencahill> rogue780: tell it to popey, I was just giving you the command :)
[18:18] <rogue780> popey, my last to you
[18:18] <induz> why few words are cut on WINE?
[18:18] <bencahill> Pici: that is fine if I have to do it from cli, I just don't know how! :)
[18:18] <TimR> I am running 10.04lts server and when perl module for Net/SMTP/TLS/ButMaintained.pm  for server 10.04LTS I get this: #     Error:  Can't locate Net/SMTP/TLS/ButMaintained.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /root/.cpan/build/Email-Sender-Transport-SMTP-TLS-0.09-5repxr/blib/lib /root/.cpan/build/Email-Sender-Transport-SMTP-TLS-0.09-5repxr/blib/arch /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/pe

[18:18] <FloodBot3> TimR: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:18] <Pici> induz: What do you mean?
[18:18] <yellabs> is it just me or is 2.6.32-27-generic slowing things down ( kernel update 10.04 )
[18:19] <induz> I have a .doc file when i open on WINE few worsd one the begining of the paragraphs are cut
[18:19] <induz> or not seen
[18:19] <induz> Pici,
[18:19] <popey> rogue780: never heard of it!
[18:19] <TimR> here is the info im having: http://paste.ubuntu.com/553289/
[18:20] <Pici> induz: You mean in Microsoft Word running under WINE?
[18:20] <induz> Pici, i have .doc file and when I open it on WINE running words, few letters in the start of a para are not seen
[18:20] <bencahill> induz: what version of Word?
[18:20] <rogue780> popey, me neither
[18:20] <induz> bencahill, words2007
[18:21] <induz> Pici, yes Words2007 running on WINE
[18:21] <Pici> TimR: Have you installed that perl module?
[18:21] <night> popey ... i never set`up a pass for user default i tryed to change the pass but it keeps promting me with wrong pass! What should i do!?:D
[18:21] <TimR> pici I dont know how to install it that is why I am asking
[18:21] <Pici> induz: We can't provide support for applications running under WINE here.  Please check #winehq and their appdb.
[18:22] <Pici> TimR: I don't see it in the repositories, I'd have to go and use cpan to install it.
[18:22] <induz> Pici, I read WINEHQ but still
[18:22] <TimR> Pici I tried that and no luck
[18:22] <bencahill> induz: if you are using a language other than english, see this (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=12811), but you will get more support in #winehq
[18:22] <Pici> induz: They know more about getting things to run under WINE than we do.  Thats why we tell you to ask there.
[18:22] <ZykoticK9> induz, #winehq is also a channel here on freenode
[18:23] <Pici> TimR: No luck as in you don't know how to do it, or you installed it and it didn't work?
[18:23] <TimR> Pici i dont think I know how to do it
[18:23] <TimR> Pici what is the correct way of doing it
[18:23] <induz> Pici, ZykoticK9 and bencahill I asked Qs on winehq too
[18:23] <m1chael> how come i cant change permissions on a mounted file system (aka USB hard drive) ?
[18:24] <Pici> induz: Then you need to be patient there.
[18:24] <madx_> Hey guys i need help .. I run testdisk

[18:28] <AbhiJit> nikhilax, use gparted live cd
[18:28] <kreign> hi all; I need to run a command on boot: before non-root filesystems get mounted but after modprobe gets run. any help on where to shove that in upstart?
[18:28] <bencahill> Pici: so how can I edit the associations manually, in ~/.local/share/applications ?
[18:28] <AbhiJit> WaltherFI, http://askubuntu.com/questions/12055/tool-to-measure-speed-of-your-pc-laptop-ubuntu-perfomance-index

[18:29] <rogue780> nikhilax, or<PHONE_NUMBER>1001111
[18:29] <WaltherFI> AbhiJit: Phoronix is very heavy, and based on php
[18:29] <AbhiJit> !init | kreign
[18:29] <popey> rogue780: sorry, I've been grabbed at work
[18:30] <rogue780> nikhilax, you can use a live cd to create a partition table without installing an operating system
[18:30] <AbhiJit> WaltherFI, see the other responses down on the page
[18:30] <nikhilax> which live CD?
[18:30] <jongbergs> hello, is there a direct way to convert ubuntu desktop to ubuntu server? my intention is i wanted to have a server setup without installing from scratch..
[18:30] <rogue780> nikhilax, why are you using 11.04? it hasn't been released yet
[18:30] <nikhilax> Yes, i am mad,, was just want to see..
[18:30] <milamber> jongbergs: what kind of server?
[18:30] <Bipul`> jon8,  what kind of server setup ?
[18:30] <whitlecj> I am ubuntu 10.10 and everything works great but I have trouble browsing some websites over wireless and uploading to my dropbox.  Can anyone help
[18:30] <cime> hi! anybody have a simple c/c++ tutorial on how to use libpam for simple user authentication ( (username, password) => true/false ) ?
[18:31] <jongbergs> milamber: 9.10
 Help man
[18:31] <rogue780> nikhilax, any ubuntu live cd that is compatible with your cpu architecture, you could use dsl, knoppix, fedora, etc. any live cd for a linux distro will most likely have a partition editor
[18:31] <milamber> jongbergs: are you going to do file serving, web, are you trying to get a lamp set up? there are many different things you could mean when you say server
[18:31] <kreign> AbhiJit, uh did you read my question?
[18:32] <nikhilax> When i am trying 10.10 live CD it does not show any harddisk....
[18:32] <kreign> AbhiJit, nothing at all to do with the actual post/kernel load, i'm talking about upstart stuff.
[18:32] <litropy> in nano, when I ^X, what format do I save a .conf file as?
[18:32] <AbhiJit> kreign, sorry if i have misunderstood it
[18:32] <kreign> what I need needs to occur prior to the traditional 'init.d' stuff.
[18:32] <AbhiJit> !upstart
[18:32] <kreign> ie before filesystems get mounted.
[18:32] <rogue780> does anyone know how to tell what video output I'm using vga1 vs vga2 etc?
[18:32] <whitlecj> anyone on wireless issues?
[18:32] <gusg> What is the default audio framework in Ubuntu. 'pulse' or 'alsa' ?
[18:32] <jongbergs> milamber: i'm suppose to setup a server but haven't got hold of the server cd so i decided to install the desktop version instead..
[18:32] <m1chael> how come i cant change permissions on a mounted file system (aka USB hard drive) ? chrisetc says i need to unmount.. why do i need to unmount?
[18:33] <milamber> jongbergs: what kind of server?
[18:33] <diphthong> All I want for Christmas is to use the font that 'pterm' uses, in gnome-terminal . Can someone help me with my dream?
[18:33] <rogue780> nikhilax, is your hard disk plugged in?
[18:33] <llutz> m1chael: what filesystem? changing permissions only works on unix-fs
[18:33] <nikhilax> Yes
[18:33] <nikhilax> But partition tables got damaged
[18:34] <nikhilax> rogue780, i tried sudo testdisk
[18:34] <jongbergs> milamber: lamp, ftp, etc...i want to get rid of applications not needed in a typical server to save space
[18:34] <kreign> AbhiJit, when does rc.local get sourced/run?
[18:34] <m1chael> how can i tell what the file system is?
[18:34] <AbhiJit> kreign, no idea
[18:34] <llutz> m1chael: sudo blkid -g && sudo blkid
[18:34] <AbhiJit> m1chael, see in system monitor , last tab
[18:34] <iibewegung> is there a way to give a default low priority to all programs run by some user so he doesn't have to use "nice" all the time?
[18:35] <m1chael> it's ntfs file system :(
[18:35] <jongbergs> milamber: as much as possible i want to avoid installing server from the start..
[18:35] <llutz> m1chael: use mount-options to adjust permissions then
[18:35] <llutz> !ntfs > m1chael
[18:36] <ubuntunoobz> hi, i need some help, i downloaded and installed enemy territory quake wars linux version installed it and all i get is a black screen for a brief second and this error in the terminal ERROR: The current video card / driver combination does not support the necessary features: GL_ARB_occlusion_query is this because my 945gm on this laptop is to weak or is there a mod witch i can get this to play
[18:37] <nikhilax> My partition tables got damaged and i am not able to see my hard disk from any live CD of ubuntu. Can anybody help me?
[18:37] <r00t4rd3d> After I updated , windows got wiped from grub menu. How I fix ? http://pastebin.com/q2Qyp2nM
[18:37] <thieven> nikhilax, parted magic is a linux iso that you can use. test disk is a program that it comes with that will solve all your problems.
[18:37] <milamber> jongbergs: sudo apt-get install apache2 php5-mysql libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server openssh-server
[18:37] <nikhilax> root4rd3d get the result of sudo os-probe
[18:38] <milamber> jongbergs: that will get you a basic lamp/ssh/sftp solution
[18:38] <overdub> jongbergs, unless you require a very load intensive server environment, the desktop version should run any kind of server service you need
[18:38] <Nanoha> Does anybody in here know when using vsftpd if I can force a specific user to a different home directory than the default conf?
[18:38] <nikhilax> testdisk only i run which destroys my partition table
[18:38] <gobbe> !grub | r00t4rd3d
[18:38] <gobbe> r00t4rd3d: dead those links
[18:38] <jongbergs> milamber: i have already setup those services :)
[18:39] <nikhilax> root4rd3d: download grub2 to mbr
[18:39] <llutz> Nanoha: iirc you can using virtual-users and separated user-configs, user_config_dir=/etc/vsftpd_user_conf
[18:39] <milamber> jongbergs: then what is your question?
[18:39] <r00t4rd3d> gobbe windows was install first
[18:40] <jongbergs> overdub, milamber yes but i want to get rid of those apps that came with standard desktop so that future upgrades will be minimize..
[18:40] <nikhilax> thieven: can you please tell how can i get my partition table back? i mean i want my data back? is it possible?
[18:40] <gobbe> r00t4rd3d: and? "RestoreGrub" part gives you tips how to restore
[18:40] <tgywa> What is the difference between ppa and Apt repostiory
[18:40] <Nanoha> llutz: perfect!  I've already got virtual users, so all I do is... cp the conf to the user dir and tweak.  For example, myuser name is "wil" so would the conf file be named wil.conf ?
[18:40] <ubuntunoobz> does any1 know if i can mod my driver so that i can play etqw on a 945gm ubuntu 10.10
[18:40] <Jordan_U> r00t4rd3d: What is the output of "sudo os-prober"?
[18:40] <llutz> Nanoha: yes, specify "local_root=/new/dir" there
[18:41] <Nanoha> llutz: thanks!  i'll give it a try
[18:41] <r00t4rd3d> Jordan_U, command not found
[18:41] <jongbergs> milamber: my question is there a command that shall we say
[18:41] <gobbe> ubuntunoobz: you can do what ever you like, if you have skills and drivers are opensource
[18:41] <PeterNL> Hi, I just installed ubuntu server 10.04.1, and I can't get a network connection
[18:41] <WaltherFI> any difference between the notify systems in ubuntu and ubuntustudio?
[18:41] <jongbergs> milamber: my question is there a command that shall we say "convert" an ubuntu desktop to server?
[18:41] <ubuntunoobz> yeah but i dont have skills
[18:41] <aeon-ltd> tgywa: ppas are maintained by someone else, not ubuntu
[18:41] <gobbe> PeterNL: what kind of connection you are using?
[18:42] <WaltherFI> the notify popups on studio are ugly, compared to vanilla
[18:42] <WaltherFI> and it's not about themes
[18:42] <PeterNL> ethernet, with dhcp
[18:42] <PeterNL> gobbe: ^
[18:42] <nikhilax> My partition tables got damaged and i am not able to see my hard disk from any live CD of ubuntu. Can anybody help me?
[18:42] <Jordan_U> r00t4rd3d: That's the problem then. "sudo apt-get install os-prober", then "sudo update-grub". If you're using grub2 (the default for Ubuntu since 9.10) a windows entry will then be added automatically.
[18:42] <gobbe> PeterNL: and you are not gettin ip or what?
[18:42] <thieven> nikhilax, i just told you that parted magic is a distro that is designed to solve your problem.
[18:42] <milamber> jongbergs: no. you can remove all the gnome stuff as shown here: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekdelucid  (just leave off the && install kubuntu part)
[18:42] <tgywa> aeon-ltd, thank u, so if I install a package from ppa  ... means that ubuntu will not officially support it
[18:42] <darkweasel> is there some way to do the following? the audio input should combine the audio output and what i say into my mic.. so i play a song on youtube and sing to it, and record the result?
[18:42] <PeterNL> lshw says it's "DISABLED"
[18:42] <tgywa> ?
[18:43] <gobbe> PeterNL: what is the model of your ethernet-card?
[18:43] <nikhilax> thieven: can i use gparted iso?
[18:43] <aimtrainer> Hi! Can anybody please tell me how I make rhythmbox NOT start on plugging my iphone in?
[18:43] <jongbergs> milamber: alright i'll check it out.. my last option would be to identify those apps and manually remove them..thanks
[18:43] <litropy> Hi, peeps. When I boot up, the user switcher which would usually display my only user account, which I would click then log in, doesn't display my user. All I have is the background, the user switcher rectangle, the ubuntu logo, and my computer's name underneath. The switcher is not frozen, for when I click my computer's name, the text switches t "Ubuntu 10.10."
[18:43] <WaltherFI> aimtrainer: system - preferences - preferred applications
[18:44] <aimtrainer> WaltherFI, I did that already
[18:44] <r00t4rd3d> Jordan_U, ty , fixed :D
[18:44] <aimtrainer> I entered gtkpod
[18:44] <PeterNL> gobbe: RTL8111/8168B
[18:44] <Jordan_U> r00t4rd3d: You're welcome :)
[18:44] <gobbe> PeterNL: so you cannot see it with ifconfig?
[18:44] <r00t4rd3d> Found Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda1
[18:44] <PeterNL> gobbe: only with ifconfig -a
[18:44] <nirazio> Where can I see a list of supported bluetooth drivers?
[18:44] <litropy> When I enable autologin using gdm's .conf, I get "No driver detected for Unity." Mind oyu, I've been using 10.10 just fine with this computer. It's an Intel Atom N80
[18:44] <overdub> darkweasel, http://manual.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Tutorial_-_Mixing_a_Narration_With_Background_Music <-- this might help you
[18:45] <gobbe> PeterNL: what does happen if you run sudo dhclient ethX

[18:47] <FaiLican> Hey guys what command do I type in to the terminal to see what the ethernet and wireless cards are associated with? t.ex eth0 and wl0?
[18:48] <PeterNL> gobbe: yes, ifconfig -a shows something that doesn't have a file in /dev
[18:48] <Nanoha> llutz: I don't think that worked. (vsftpd)

[18:50] <llutz> Nanoha: yes
[18:50] <FaiLican> Hey guys what command do I type in to the terminal to see what the ethernet and wireless cards are associated with? t.ex eth0 and wl0?

[18:54] <gobbe> nikhilax: are you sure that your raid/sata-controller is supported?
[18:54] <Nanoha> llutz: I got it.  It's not wil.conf.  it's just wil
[18:54] <Kid_Matthew> why so many ppl
[18:54] <nikhilax> gobbe: yes
[18:55] <Jackass4D> PeterNL, you know any server of that type?
[18:55] <rogue780> I can't add new modes with xrandr. anyone familiar with it?
[18:55] <nikhilax> gobbe, please help

[18:55] <nikhilax> right  now when i start my system its something prompt 1234F
[18:55] <Jackass4D> PeterNL, but you can't post it on the web

[18:56] <xxx> hello
[18:56] <WaltherFI> VLC is very capable, it can do almost anything
[18:56] <x64-amd> is there even a opensolaris fork with kde?
[18:56] <xxx> someone here?
[18:56] <earlgrey> I am having an issue with the windows manager in ubuntu netbook remix. The unity GUI seems to be non-existant and I am not sure quite what to do. I am running 10.10 on an asus eeepc 1001p if that helps.
[18:57] <Guest83700> yes, I'm running in terminal only mode....I was wondering is there a way to watch Youtube videos?
[18:57] <ZykoticK9> x64-amd, it's OT for this channel - but you should probably consider opensolaris to be a dead project
[18:57] <dwxreaper> where can I get a list of repositories for ibex?
[18:57] <smiley__> ubuntu 10.4,How do i make the menubar,Clock,Etc Transparent ?
[18:57] <gobbe> nikhilax: so you cannot even see your disks?
[18:57] <gobbe> nikhilax: what kind of disk it is?
[18:57] <xangua> dwxreaper: intrepid ibex is not supported
[18:57] <WaltherFI> Guest83700: vlc -V caca
[18:57] <WaltherFI> Guest83700: ascii output
[18:57] <x64-amd> ZykoticK9: i cannot send messages in linux channel, and for sure i am not banned
[18:57] <rogue780> I miss dapper drake
[18:58] <nikhilax> gobbe, i can't see the disk. SATA 320 GB
[18:58] <Pici> !register | x64-amd
[18:58] <dwxreaper> xangua: where is the list of repositories?
[18:58] <gobbe> nikhilax: boot up with live-cd, open terminal and run "sudo fdisk -l" and put it to pastebin.ubuntu.com
[18:58] <Pici> x64-amd: You need to register to join there.
[18:58] <genii-around> x64-amd: Maybe ask in #kde4-solaris channel
[18:58] <nikhilax> sure
[18:58] <Pici> x64-amd: sorry, to speak there, not join.
[18:58] <x64-amd> pici but i post nice to other channels without problems..
[18:58] <xangua> !eol | dwxreaper
[18:58] <Pici> x64-amd: They have different settings there.
[18:58] <dwxreaper> xangua: that's not a list
[18:58] <x64-amd> ok clear
[18:59] <xangua> dwxreaper: eol distros are not supported...
[18:59] <dwxreaper> whatever
[18:59] <earlgrey> I have been googling for about an hour, and searching the forums, perhaps I missed the solution but I am at quite a loss as of what to do
[18:59] <smiley__> Anybody ?
[19:01] <litropy> Peeps, is samba (smd) needed for gdm?
[19:01] <earlgrey> I thought perhaps metacity run or unity run might start it up again, but it doesn't. I haven't worked with linux in five years so I am really out of touch
[19:02] <Pici> litropy: They're completely unrelated.
[19:02] <xangua> earlgrey: metacity --replace
[19:02] <earlgrey>  I tried, actually. I get a windows manager error: unable to open x display
[19:03] <earlgrey> and I've googled that error message a bit, and I've not come to any solution unfortunately
[19:05] <earlgrey> when I command unity run it displays:  gtk-warning **: cannot open display:
[19:05] <PeterNL> okay, so I can fix my network connectio by running sudo dhclient eth1, but it fails at the next reboot
[19:07] <BluesKaj> PeterNL, run sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[19:07] <smiley__> ubuntu 10.4,How do you make the menubar,such as the clock Transparent ?
[19:07] <PeterNL> BluesKaj: ok
[19:08] <WaltherFI> smiley__: right click on panel, properties, color/theming/something
[19:08] <PeterNL> I'm running apt-get dist-upgrade now, so this'll have to wait a minute :)
[19:08] <smiley__> i did but onley about an inch is transparent
[19:08] <WaltherFI> smiley__: do you have decent drivers?
[19:09] <WaltherFI> smiley__: as in, restricted nvidia's or so
[19:09] <rogue780> I'm trying to use xrandr to set my resolution to 1024x768. I go through the steps, but xrandr says: screen cannot be larger than 800x600 (desired size 1024x768). does anyone know how to get around this?
[19:09] <smiley__> i have an ATI 9600
[19:10] <WaltherFI> smiley__: well if you have compiz, you could add on the Opacity properties a match for gnome-panel and drop the transparency value
[19:10] <suigeneris> hello
[19:11] <suigeneris> ubuntu refuses to type anything in the numeric pad. how can I fix that?
[19:11] <WaltherFI> suigeneris: stupid question,, but do you have numlock on
[19:11] <suigeneris> I tried rebooting it several timer
[19:11] <suigeneris> yes
[19:11] <chris_bsd> suigeneris: press numlock
[19:11] <Elmo84> Hi guys
[19:11] <suigeneris> chris_bsd, walmis I have it on
[19:12] <Elmo84> I know that 9.04 isn't supported anymore...
[19:12] <suigeneris> WaltherFI, *
[19:12] <litropy> how do I check what GPU chipset I have via bash?
[19:12] <Elmo84> but how can I get the latest gcc lib installed with apt-get ?
[19:12] <WaltherFI> litropy: hwinfo
[19:12] <Elmo84> the repo version is 4.3
[19:12] <xangua> Elmo84: upgrade to a supported distro
[19:12] <xangua> or compile
[19:13] <Elmo84> xangua: The client PC can't be upgraded
[19:13] <PeterNL> Elmo84: you can try to install a newer version from packages.ubuntu.com, but you might break all kinds of things
[19:13] <coz_> litropy,   or   sudo dmidecode
[19:13] <WaltherFI> Reasons why notify-osd has different positions for the notifications? some are dropped a lot lower than others, and others are where they should be (close to the panel)
[19:13] <Elmo84> PeterNL, i see..:(
[19:13] <xangua> PeterNL Elmo84 you might or you will¿
[19:13] <PeterNL> Elmo84: and anything can be upgraded, hardware requirements haven't changed afaik
[19:14] <chriskrems> hi guys I need help with grub
[19:14] <Elmo84> PeterNL, the PC is located in a commercial place and such an operation is too big to do
[19:15] <suigeneris> how do I fix this guys?
[19:15] <smiley__> i have it,but i dont see any transparent settings
[19:15] <WaltherFI> smiley__: compizconfig-settings manager?
[19:15] <PeterNL> Elmo84: say you have to do it, or it will crash if you don't (if you really debend on that machine, get a 2nd one for these cases. you're paying the price for not having a plan for this)
[19:15] <smiley__> Correct
[19:15] <rogue780> I'm trying to use xrandr to set my resolution to 1024x768. I go through the steps, but xrandr says: screen cannot be larger than 800x600 (desired size 1024x768). does anyone know how to get around this?
[19:15] <WaltherFI> smiley__: Opacity, Brightness and saturation
[19:16] <PeterNL> Elmo84: I don't have a plan either, but I don't depend on a 24/7 uptime, altough that would be nice anyway
[19:16] <WaltherFI> smiley__: window specific settings - new - windows (+) and tap your panel
[19:16] <chriskrems> can any1 help? I got an old via mobo installing worked fine, I installed from an USB key, but now the sytem boots only if this key is inserted, and this stupid via mobo recognizes the USB key only if the power plug has been disconnected...
[19:16] <Elmo84> I could always statically link to th GCC runtime right?
[19:17] <chriskrems> if I boot w/o the USB key it tells me verifying DMI pool
[19:17] <mongy> Have made a new mbr to an external drive, but not formatted the partition so old data should still be there.. which apps are available in linux to recover fat/ntfs partitions?
[19:17] <PeterNL> BluesKaj: http://pastebin.com/2YVLyfds
[19:18] <WaltherFI> smiley__: got it?
[19:18] <suigeneris> hmm, note to self: don't remove a language when it's in use
[19:18] <j-invariant> hello: On my computer there is a key which turns off wireless internet "F2". Anyone know about this? How can I turn it off?
[19:18] <WaltherFI> suigeneris: heh.
[19:18] <PeterNL> BluesKaj: I guess that's what happens when I reboot the machine, right?
[19:18] <PeterNL> j-invariant: migth be fn-F2
[19:18] <chriskrems> any1 can help?
[19:18] <suigeneris> anyway, back to my original question
[19:18] <suigeneris> ubuntu refuses to type anything in the numeric pad. how can I fix that?
[19:18] <PeterNL> j-invariant: otherwise, right click the network icon, and disable it through the menu
[19:18] <j-invariant> PeterNL: fn-F2 is okay - the problem is when I don't hold fn, that key disables my internet
[19:19] <WaltherFI> suigeneris: check your keymaps
[19:19] <j-invariant> PeterNL: sorry I meant, disable that key: I press it by accident sometimes
[19:19] <WaltherFI> suigeneris: also, localizations
[19:19] <PeterNL> j-invariant: oh, that's a problem.
[19:19] <gobbe> j-invariant: usuallyu computers bios has ability to change that
[19:19] <gobbe> j-invariant: like in my HP i can turn those function keys to work with fn or without
[19:19] <PeterNL> j-invariant: I have that with my disable-touchpad button, it's next to the volume key :)
[19:19] <j-invariant> I don't have a clue what a bios is: Is this difficult?
[19:19] <suigeneris> WaltherFI, how do I check those? env?
[19:20] <j-invariant> PeterNL: I can't imagine anyone
[19:20] <PeterNL> j-invariant: might be... do you have the laptop manual present?
[19:20] <j-invariant> wants that button
[19:20] <WaltherFI> suigeneris: should be in preferences
[19:20] <litropy> Peeps, I have an Intel 945GM GPU and when I load into 10.10, I get "No required driver detected for unity." This is not virtualbox.
[19:20] <PeterNL> j-invariant: I use it, it's annoying when it tries to connect to a crappy network when I have my network cable ready to plug in
[19:20] <WaltherFI> suigeneris: for bash, try locale
[19:21] <suigeneris> WaltherFI, preferences where?
[19:21] <PeterNL> j-invariant: wifi is disabled most of the time for me :)
[19:21] <WaltherFI> suigeneris: gnome/kde/xfce/terminal?
[19:21] <suigeneris> WaltherFI, gnome
[19:21] <WaltherFI> suigeneris: system - preferences - keyboard
[19:22] <WaltherFI> suigeneris: select your keyboard model from there, if there is no your model, select 105-key generic
[19:22] <suigeneris> WaltherFI, http://pastebin.com/J1W5Y24d
[19:22] <chriskrems> what does /dev/SDB mean?
[19:22] <WaltherFI> chriskrems: second Sata disk
[19:22] <WaltherFI> chriskrems: sda is first, sdb second, etc
[19:23] <WaltherFI> suigeneris: your locales are correct. check your keyboard settings
[19:23] <chriskrems> I dont have a sata port in this mobo
[19:23] <WaltherFI> chriskrems: well that's really interesting
[19:23] <chriskrems> for sure

[19:24] <PeterNL> BluesKaj: /etc/init.d/networking restart: http://pastebin.com/2YVLyfds I guess that's what happens when I reboot the machine, right?
[19:24] <chriskrems> to check where grub is installed and it said :/dev/sdb: GRUB 2 v1.97 oder höher (or higher)
[19:24] <WaltherFI> chriskrems: interesting. usb stick then?
[19:25] <chriskrems> yes USB key / the one I installed from
[19:25] <WaltherFI> ah
[19:25] <WaltherFI> your GRUB is installed on that stick
[19:25] <WaltherFI> not your HD
[19:25] <maintenance> hello, sorry for my poor english, i'm a french frogger :P i lookfor a "good howto" for using virtual interfaces with chip atheros, someone know where i can find this ?
[19:25] <chriskrems> thats shit^^
[19:25] <SamuelD> hi, how do I enable numlock automatically when I'm in the bootmenu? Numlock is on in the BIOS but Grub turns it off when loading any OS
[19:25] <suigeneris> WaltherFI, still no :(
[19:25] <BluesKaj> PeterNL, sorry I should have asked earlier , are you using nm-applet (network manager) ?
[19:25] <PeterNL> nope, it's a server install
[19:25] <chriskrems> how to install grub on my hd? which one is my hd how to find out?
[19:26] <andrico> okay so.... last time I installed ubuntu 10.10, when I installed the proprietary nvidia drivers, when I restarted, I was presented with the console login, and starting X did not work. I recalled reading that removing /etc/X11/xorg.conf would fix this problem, but that file was not present so I poked around and deleted some files. When I restarted, I had the graphical login again, but no keyboard or mouse input, so I deleted something
[19:26] <andrico> primary video card before this login, and have enabled and installed the proprietary drivers. What should I do if I get the console login again?
[19:26] <Leprkan> I just made an account on the ubuntu forums and I can't make any posts.  Why?
[19:26] <WaltherFI> SamuelD: sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
[19:26] <SamuelD> WaltherFl, and what do I write there?
[19:27] <kslater> anyone care to enlighten me how to get 10.10 to mount my NTFS formatted drive to mount with exec permission?
[19:27] <WaltherFI> SamuelD: there should be a part saying something about numlock state
[19:27] <BluesKaj> ok PeterNL , open /etc/network/interfaces and pastebin the contents , same for /etc/resolv.conf .. we need to take alook there
[19:27] <PeterNL> ok
[19:27] <turtle153> i need help with a tablet
[19:27] <SamuelD> WaltherFl, no I'm sorry but it isn't there
[19:28] <chriskrems> waltherfi: how to install grub to my hd / and where to find out which it is?
[19:28] <WaltherFI> SamuelD: then you have old version of grub, can't hep
[19:28] <litropy> well, I've resolved to beta test natty. How do I upgrade via bash?
[19:28] <WaltherFI> chriskrems: how many HD's do you have?
[19:28] <PeterNL> BluesKaj: http://pastebin.com/txWecWuZ and http://pastebin.com/hmu0s1WY
[19:28] <greg1785> bonsoir
[19:28] <turtle153> i followed some instructions and i was told to put the driver file in /lib/modules/2.6.35-24-generic/kernel/drivers/input/tablet but i dunno how to set the driver
[19:28] <dirty-harry> hey, I need help with ultravnc(win vista) to ssvnc (lucid) reverse --- encryption problem
[19:28] <svm_invictvs> Heya
[19:28] <svm_invictvs> I'm having problems with my display drivers.
[19:28] <WaltherFI> turtle153: which tablet?
[19:28] <rogue780> I'm trying to use xrandr to set my resolution to 1024x768. I go through the steps, but xrandr says: screen cannot be larger than 800x600 (desired size 1024x768). does anyone know how to get around this?
[19:29] <turtle153> trust flex design
[19:29] <chriskrems> waltherfi: just 1 (compact flash card on IDE)
[19:29] <turtle153> its a rebranded wacom tablet
[19:29] <svm_invictvs> It's forcing 4:3 resolutions only, but I need widescreen.  What's the best way to go about rectifying that?
[19:29] <WaltherFI> turtle153: there are native drivers in the repos
[19:29] <WaltherFI> turtle153: search for wacom in the synaptic
[19:29] <PeterNL> BluesKaj: I guess I should change eth0 in eth1 in /etc/networking/interfaces, right? But is there anyway to rename eth1 to eth0? As it used to be eth0 a while ago
[19:29] <WaltherFI> chriskrems: is there /dev/hda ?
[19:29] <rogue780> Ok, new strategy: how can I make ubnutu run a vnc server that logs a person into a virtual desktop with a larger resolution than 800x600?
[19:30] <WaltherFI> chriskrems: boot from livecd/livestick and run grub-install /dev/hda or whatever your drive is
[19:30] <mac123> does ndiswrapper come installed on 10.10?
[19:30] <turtle153> ok, ive got the driver
[19:30] <turtle153> how do i choose it/
[19:30] <PeterNL> BluesKaj: wait a minute, I installed the OS in another machine than it is running in now, so I guess the old NIC is eth0 and the new NIC is eth1
[19:30] <WaltherFI> turtle153: mouse right- mark for installation - commit changes
[19:31] <PeterNL> BluesKaj: fix in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1007285
[19:31] <m1chael> i have an external USB hard drive NTFS .. i need to change permissions on the fie system.. is this what i need to read to figure this out? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions -- is there an easier GUI/point/click way to do this?
[19:31] <chriskrems> waltherfi: I can boot the system with the USB key, I'm in the system, there is no hda
[19:31] <turtle153> what do i do once its installed?
[19:32] <WaltherFI> chriskrems: do you have any filesystems mounted other than your usb?
[19:32] <WaltherFI> turtle153: logout login
[19:32] <gobbe> chriskrems: there should be sda, hda's are replaced with sdX for age ago :)
[19:32] <turtle153> will the computer know which driver to use?
[19:33] <WaltherFI> turtle153: also, usually things like tablets don't need separate drivers, for me it worked out of the box
[19:33] <BluesKaj> PeterNL, yes rename in interfaces and save the file , the sees the ethernet as eth0 as long as theat pc only has one NIC, not to worry about the other . in resolv.conf the google dns nameservers should be reversed the primary is always <IP_ADDRESS>.
[19:33] <Lcawte> Hi, I'm having problems with Flash in Firefox. It works perfectly in Chrome, but it breaks/doesn't work fully in Firefox.. 10.10
[19:33] <BluesKaj> the pc sees
[19:33] <greg1785> quelqun peut maider svp ?
[19:33] <WaltherFI> turtle153: you should install the driver from the repo's , not any driver files should be needed
[19:33] <turtle153> walther, by tablet half works, but i have to press the pen down to move it
[19:33] <turtle153> *my
[19:33] <chriskrems> waltherfi turtle152: i have sda sda1 sda2 sda5
[19:33] <turtle153> and that selects everything
[19:34] <WaltherFI> chriskrems: numbers are partitions, sda is the whole disk
[19:34] <PeterNL> BluesKaj: I'll use my own router as primary dns anyway, so that wouldn't matter, and I'll just remove both lines, and make it autodetect anything :)
[19:34] <turtle153> sda? isnt that drives?
[19:34] <WaltherFI> chriskrems: and i presume you want the grub to be on MBR?
[19:34] <steve_> Hi, I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my PC. When I shut down the PC, it doesn't shut all the way down. The screen is black but the fan in the computer is still running. Is there a way to fix that?
[19:34] <will_> hey guys. the file upload window on firefox has been acting kind of haywire recently. it responds poorly to keyboard input (sometimes working, sometimes not at all), clicking on files doesn't seem to work properly and if i somehow by luck navigate to the file i want then click "open", the file that is selected is something completely other to the one i wanted. anyone else having this problem? anyone know why it might be happenin
[19:34] <WaltherFI> turtle153: so what drivers have you installed and how?
[19:35] <turtle153> i tried wizard pen
[19:35] <turtle153> and thats it
[19:35] <edwardo> msg cuznt whats up
[19:35] <WaltherFI> turtle153: remove all those, trust in the repositories
[19:35] <edwardo> sry
[19:35] <chriskrems> waltherfi: yes I dont want to boot from the USB key, on the drive there is only ubuntu 10.04 nothing else
[19:35] <turtle153> ok
[19:35] <WaltherFI> chriskrems: sudo grub-install /dev/sda should be fine then
[19:35] <turtle153> complete removal?
[19:35] <edwardo> stupid question how do i see what the users in the channel/
[19:36] <WaltherFI> turtle153: for the drivers you have installed yourself, yes
[19:36] <compengi> hi, how to remove an application from startup script?
[19:36] <WaltherFI> edwardo: /names
[19:36] <bholz> Has anyone known any display issues with a thinkpad t30 and any version of ubuntu?
[19:36] <elliottu> How does the Ubuntu installer calculate the size of the swap partition to be created by default?
[19:36] <chriskrems> waltherfi: for sure? can I do this via SSH?
[19:36] <turtle153> and then ill restart and see if the one from synaptic works
[19:36] <WaltherFI> chriskrems: *should* work but i don't know for sure, ask that from someone else
[19:37] <WaltherFI> compengi: system - preferences - startup applications
[19:37] <chriskrems> waltherfi: a should is better then I hope^^
[19:37] <WaltherFI> chriskrems: but you see, you need write permission to the MBR, i'm not sure if you can get that over ssh
[19:38] <WaltherFI> chriskrems: i wouldn't be surprised if you need to boot from usb / cd to be able to mess with the MBR
[19:38] <chriskrems> waltherfi: Installation finished. No error reported. cross thumbs...
[19:38] <compengi> WaltherFI, i'm sorry, but vmware is not listed there
[19:39] <WaltherFI> compengi: let me guess, you have checked the box "remember" and you want it to forget it?
[19:39] <WaltherFI> compengi: there is no way i know of, those startup apps seem to be nowhere, i once had similar problem. It is failry easy to edit those that do appear in the list and add own entries
[19:40] <WaltherFI> compengi: of course, you could add a startup app with command killall vmware
[19:40] <turtle153> @WaltherFI: it kinda works now
[19:40] <elliottu> More specifically, how much swap would Ubuntu create for 3788376 bytes of RAM? (according to free(1))
[19:40] <elliottu> (i.e. 4 GiB, almost)
[19:41] <turtle153> WaltherFI: at the login screen i could hover the pen just for a second but now ive still got to press it against the tablet to move the cursor
[19:41] <WaltherFI> turtle153: preferences - mouse anything there?
[19:42] <chriskrems> waltherfi: thanks a lot it works!!! yesss
[19:42] <WaltherFI> chriskrems: no problem :)
[19:42] <turtle153> theres nothing for a tablet there. i know the hardware isnt broken because it worked on windows
[19:42] <WaltherFI> turtle153: very interesting
[19:42] <turtle153> i cant help thinking i need to choose the driver or something
[19:42] <WaltherFI> turtle153: google for your model + ubuntu?
[19:43] <goltoof> This all happened after I updated and rebooted. When I bootup it asks me to put in a username, it doesn't default to my user anymore.  I can't unlock the Login Screen Settings, clicking Unlock doesn't bring up the password box. When I login all that opens is the wallpaper and a small terminal.  Closing the terminal logs me out of the system. Gnome-panel doesn't even auto start, I have to enable gnome-panel, appearances and visual effects manually.  I can
[19:43] <turtle153> ive looked on the forums
[19:43] <WaltherFI> hmm
[19:43] <rogue780> if I have a vnc screen running as desktop:1, how do I connect to that screen instead of the normal desktop?
[19:43] <turtle153> in my lib/......./kernel/drivers/tablet directory I've got some drivers there already
[19:43] <bencahill> Hey guys, is there some way I could remotely emulate keyboard input?
[19:43] <WaltherFI> turtle153: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1630445 this you?
[19:43] <sillykone> Why is it that when I first log in to my account I get sound, but then when I suspend my computer, I get no sound?  My sound card is ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA).
[19:44] <goltoof> sillykone: no sound plays when you suspend, by default.  assuming that's what you mean
[19:44] <WaltherFI> sillykone: ubuntu has weird issues when it comes to suspend and hardware wake up
[19:45] <goltoof> sillykone:  or do you mean after you resume from a suspension?
[19:45] <sillykone> goltoof, WaltherFI: Sorry, I meant after I wake my computer up, I get no sound.
[19:45] <bencahill> sillykone: do you need to suspend? I've had weird issues with it also
[19:45] <WaltherFI> sillykone: that's what i said
[19:45] <turtle153> ive had a go at wizard pen but its not working well
[19:45] <BluesKaj> PeterNL, you should also list the IPs of your pc , router(gateway) ... this tutorial will really help : http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-ubuntu-linux-convert-dhcp-network-configuration-to-static-ip-configuration.html
[19:46] <WaltherFI> sillykone: ubuntu has issues with hardware wakeups, that are hard to fix. i'd recommend not to suspend or search desperately on forums
[19:46] <binni> Is it possible to run the current desktop oriented (not netbook) Unity interface on Ubuntu Maverick 10.10? The guides I've seen just tell me to install the unity package, but it seams like that's just the unity that got released for 10.10 netbook edition or something like that.
[19:46] <guest__> hey can anyone help me a with a grub config issue
[19:46] <WaltherFI> sillykone: also, compiling your own kernel might fix it, but it's not too easy
[19:46] <WaltherFI> guest__: fire it
[19:46] <turtle153> any idea where the X.org tablet configuration is?
[19:46] <binni> oh and not do it without having to compile too much
[19:46] <bencahill> !ask | guest__
[19:46] <goltoof> what do i do to unlock the login screen settings, clicking unlock doesn't bring up the password box, as of now
[19:46] <sillykone> WaltherFI: alright thanks...I'm glad others are having trouble...I thought I was going crazy. :)
[19:46] <sillykone> I've tried compiling my kernel once without success...I'll try it again.
[19:46] <goltoof> ?
[19:47] <bencahill> guest__: or ask on #grub
[19:47]  * hockebocke has just installed Maverick, but when logging in there isn't the Ubuntu Human default theme! It looks like an old Gnome standard theme or something. What's causing this?
[19:47] <Bogus8> is there a way to use a network share (samba) as swap space while running a live cd?
[19:47] <WaltherFI> sillykone: yeah, my ultraportable can't wake up the on-chip 3g modem
[19:47] <Kruptein> hey does anyone know some kind of software where you can start "ideas" and track your progress? :p
[19:47] <WaltherFI> sillykone: it is really frustrating
[19:47] <bencahill> hockebocke: screenshot?
[19:47] <goltoof> Kruptein:  gedit
[19:47] <nothingspecial> sillykone: Do you get sound in your headphones (if you have any) after suspend?
[19:48] <WaltherFI> Kruptein: there are no decent mindmap softwares afaik
[19:48] <bencahill> Kruptein: that sounds like a task for online software
[19:48] <Kruptein> goltoof: thanks but I was wondering whether there was a program for that or whether I would just use notes,  I would not use gedit for this matter :p
[19:48] <frank> does anyone know how I get windows media audio 9 working? I've tried totem, vlc and mplayer. Mplayer output is here: http://nopaste.info/fc8e3a8895.html
[19:48] <binni> can I install the current Unity interface on Ubuntu 10.10?
[19:48] <WaltherFI> Kruptein: Tomboy notes with its sync to UbuntuOne cloud might be the best
[19:48] <WaltherFI> binni: yep
[19:48] <Kruptein> bencahill: indeed, but it would not harm the site to have a gui :)
[19:48] <WaltherFI> binni: unity is just a separate package
[19:48] <mongy> any ntfs file/partition recovery software for ubuntu?
[19:48] <goltoof> Kruptein:  just kidding... you should should look into  mind mapping
[19:48] <Kruptein> WaltherFI: well yeah that's my option b
[19:49] <WaltherFI> Kruptein: there really are no good or decent mindmap softwares
[19:49] <steve_> Hi, I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my PC. When I shut down the PC, it doesn't shut all the way down. The screen is black but the fan in the computer is still running. Is there a way to fix that?
[19:49] <Kruptein> goltoof: hm mindmapping is not entirely what I'm looking for :p
[19:49] <sillykone> nothingspecial:
[19:49] <Kruptein> WaltherFI: okay something I might make some day :p
[19:49] <goltoof> Kruptein:  you mean like project management?
[19:49] <WaltherFI> :P
[19:49] <Bogus8> mongy: it will read ntfs partitions... sometimes ones that windows won't read
[19:49] <sillykone> Oops.
[19:49] <Kruptein> goltoof: that's the name :p
[19:49] <sillykone> nothingspecial: I have speakers connected to the headphone jack (same thing?).  I'm not getting any sound.
[19:49] <mongy> Bogus8, I mean file systems that are damaged.
[19:49] <Bogus8> mongy: other than that I'd suggest something like UBCD for other utils to manipulate damaged systems
[19:50] <WaltherFI> steve_: try ctrl-alt-f1 or just esc when it is black
[19:50] <hockebocke> bencahill: on its way...

[19:50] <nikhilax> Hey i am running Gparted LIve Usb as my partition tables was destroyed it says that my 298 GB is unallocated. 298Gb is my complete hd.
[19:50] <nothingspecial> sillykone: I remember a similar thing, you will probably have to edit alsabase.conf
[19:50] <WaltherFI> nikhilax: ouch
[19:50] <nikhilax> Please help some body i have imp data? how to rescue it
[19:50] <nothingspecial> alsa-base.conf
[19:51] <WaltherFI> nikhilax: your partition table has been destroyed
[19:51] <KM0201> nikhilax: well, i'd say thats pretty well destroyed
[19:51] <bencahill> nikhilax: did you have data on the drive?
[19:51] <WaltherFI> nikhilax: the data might still be there
[19:51] <nikhilax> Yes i have imp data
[19:51] <nikhilax> Please tell any way to get all that back
[19:51] <bencahill> oohhh, ouch
[19:51] <KM0201> nikhilax: hope it was backed up....
[19:51] <bencahill> WaltherFI: how, if there are no partitions? o_o
[19:51] <steve_> WaltherFI, Ok, I'll give that a shot. Thank you! Hopefully that will work
[19:51] <nikhilax> need my data badly
[19:51] <WaltherFI> bencahill: partition table contains information about partitions
[19:51] <markskilbeck> Yo! Does anybody else notice that notifications appear lower down than they should?
[19:51] <nikhilax> waltherFI, help
[19:51] <KM0201> nikhilax: if it was that important, you should have had it backed up.
[19:52] <WaltherFI> bencahill: if the table brakes, the partitions might still be there
[19:52] <bencahill> nikhilax: what happened to delete the partitions/partition table?
[19:52] <WaltherFI> nikhilax: ooh wait...
[19:52] <hockebocke> bencahill: http://bit.ly/dNwpXS
[19:52] <xangua> markskilbeck: they shpuld appear lower down
[19:52] <xangua> should*
[19:52] <nikhilax> Partition is still there but its unallocated
[19:52] <bencahill> KM0201: two types of people, those who have lost data, and those who will lose data, nikhilax is now in the first category :)
[19:52] <goltoof> Kruptein:  some equivalent to ms project.. personally i use spreadsheets with the right formulas.. it really depends on what you're trying to accomplish
[19:52] <WaltherFI> nikhilax: unallocated means no partitions
[19:53] <nikhilax> bencahill, any way?
[19:53] <markskilbeck> xangua: nevermind - I didn't explain the issue very well. Gonna file a bug.
[19:53] <nikhilax> waltherFI, any option to recover?
[19:53] <WaltherFI> nikhilax: good instructions at here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery
[19:53] <nothingspecial> sillykone: Here it is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1258788
[19:53] <xangua> markskilbeck: is not a but, is at it is
[19:53] <KM0201> bencahill: i guess so... glad i learned young.. :)
[19:53] <markskilbeck> "is at it is" makes no sense.
[19:53] <hockebocke> bencahill: any idea? installed many many ubuntu installations before, and I've never seen anything like this
[19:53] <bencahill> WaltherFI: ah, interesting, sort of like deleting a file only deletes it from the file allocation table (or whatever it's named)
[19:53] <bencahill> KM0201: an important lesson to learn :)
[19:53] <markskilbeck> xangua: you don't understand the issue so you cannot comment.
[19:53] <bencahill> hockebocke: one sec
[19:54] <markskilbeck> That's my fault for not explaining it well.
[19:54] <svm_invictvs> Nobody know anything about the widescreen monitor issues?
[19:54] <bencahill> nikhilax: nope, sorry :(
[19:54] <goltoof> what do i do to unlock the login screen settings, clicking unlock doesn't bring up the password box, as of now?
[19:54] <xangua> markskilbeck: then explaint it well
[19:54] <goltoof> is there no way to config my login settings from cli?
[19:55] <WaltherFI> bencahill: not actually - more of like you have a huge hall full of supplies and you erase your stock booklet and therefore don't know what's inside the hall
[19:55] <mac123> can someone point me to a guide on how to back up a new installation
[19:55] <WaltherFI> mac123: what do you mean
[19:55] <bencahill> WaltherFI: that's what i said/meant :-/
[19:56] <mac123> so once I get all of my normal stuff installed I can make a copy and just use that back up for a fresh install from now on?
[19:56] <bencahill> hockebocke: blech :D
[19:56] <svm_invictvs> Actually, are tehre any good guides for setting up dual monitors for Ubuntu 10.10?
[19:56] <bencahill> hockebocke: stock install?
[19:56] <WaltherFI> mac123: in case you have clean install, there is no reason to do backup for other than your personal data eg documents
[19:56] <bencahill> svm_invictvs: go to System > Preferences > Monitors
[19:56] <WaltherFI> svm_invictvs: nvidia/ati?
[19:57] <danipolo> howdy
[19:57] <svm_invictvs> bencahill: Newp
[19:57] <WaltherFI> svm_invictvs: it is very, very easy
[19:57] <svm_invictvs> bencahill: That's only showing 4:3 modes for a widescreen monitor.
[19:57] <bencahill> !details | svm_invictvs
[19:57] <nothingspecial> mac123: http://www.geekconnection.org/remastersys/
[19:57] <svm_invictvs> bencahill: Secondly, it's not detecting the dual setup.
[19:57] <mac123> not so much a back up as once i install all the extra packages that does not come with a new install
[19:57] <hockebocke> bencahill: very stock - although through alternative disc, since it's has a RevoDrive which requires LVM. But nothing else unusual.
[19:57] <goltoof> svm_invictvs: depending on your gpu, you'll use the default monitor configurator, or the vendor configurator
[19:57] <mac123> so that I dont have to bother re downloading and configuring it all over again
[19:57] <WaltherFI> svm_invictvs: hello there, i use dual setup
[19:57] <KM0201> svm_invictvs: which gpu?... i've got nvidia, and it's almost flawless
[19:57] <WaltherFI> svm_invictvs: nvidia or ati?
[19:58] <svm_invictvs> bencahill: I said that earlier, and nobody seemed to know the answer :-/
[19:58] <nothingspecial> mac123: That`s what remastersys does
[19:58] <bencahill> svm_invictvs: you probably need drivers (System > Administration > Additional Drivers), that will also give you the vendor's tool to use
[19:58] <danipolo> anyone ever dualboot ubuntu and opensuse?
[19:58] <mac123> remastersys?
[19:58] <svm_invictvs> bencahill: Yeah.  It's nVidia
[19:58] <WaltherFI> mac123: do you have anything on the computer?
[19:58] <nothingspecial> mac123: look at the link i put earlier
[19:58] <svm_invictvs> WaltherFI: nVidia
[19:58] <bencahill> hockebocke: i dunno, you might ask your question again with a link to that image (http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/8471/uglytheme.png)
[19:58] <WaltherFI> svm_invictvs: then install Additional Drivers
[19:58] <svm_invictvs> Ah, cool, time to reboot
[19:59] <tlhiv_laptop> hi folks ... i'm not using ubuntu, but i've read several places about a program called "jkeys" which will allow you to map certain joystick buttons to keyboard keys ... does anyone know where i might be able to find this program?  i can't seem to find a download
[19:59] <mac123> not worried about personal files
[19:59] <WaltherFI> svm_invictvs: then, administration - Nvidia settings - monitors
[19:59] <bencahill> svm_invictvs: see ya :)
[19:59] <mac123> looking for a restore point to save installation time
[19:59] <svm_invictvs> Ah, I see.
[19:59] <WaltherFI> svm_invictvs: it is very self-evident then
[19:59] <mac123> che king link now
[19:59] <hockebocke> bencahill: once when I logged out and back again, the theme was right. But that doesnt work anymore
[19:59] <m1chael> i have an external USB hard drive NTFS .. i need to change permissions on the file system.. is this what i need to read to figure this out? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions -- is there an easier GUI/point/click way to do this?
[19:59] <WaltherFI> mac123: then there is no point making a restore point
[19:59] <WaltherFI> mac123: ubuntu does not quite need restore points
[19:59] <tlhiv_laptop> nevermind ... found it ;)
[19:59] <bencahill> m1chael: what do you mean "change permissions on the file system"?
[20:00] <hockebocke> Anyone know how come a fresh install of Ubuntu doesn't show the right theme? Screenshot here:  http://bit.ly/dNwpXS
[20:00] <mac123> its not a restore point
[20:00] <WaltherFI> hockebocke: sudo apt-get install light-themes
[20:00] <mac123> ok once you install the os you go and then install all the individual programs and supporting documents
[20:00] <bencahill> hockebocke: see? :D
[20:00] <mac123> i just want to make an image of the hd once I have all of that installed
[20:00] <m1chael> i need to change permissions on a dir
[20:00] <WaltherFI> mac123: there's no need
[20:01] <mac123> lol it saves me like 3 hours of extra installation
[20:01] <rumpe1> mac123, with btrfs you could do snapshots of your system
[20:01] <bencahill> m1chael: you do understand that ntfs doesn't support unix file permissions, right?
[20:01] <hockebocke> WaltherFI: really? why is that missing in ubuntu-desktop meta package?
[20:01] <WaltherFI> hockebocke: shouldn't be, but give it a try
[20:01] <rumpe1> mac123, but btrfs is still not the default-fs ... maybe in some years
[20:01] <WaltherFI> hockebocke: also, check your preferences - appearance
[20:01] <Pici> !aptoncd | mac123 this might be appropriate
[20:01] <WaltherFI> hockebocke: also, you seem to have the appearance problem when running as root- the update manager
[20:02] <mac123> thanks!  will look into all those options!
[20:02] <m1chael> bencahill; yes i understand that.. but someone said there is some kind of option i can turn on
[20:02] <nothingspecial> WaltherFI: remastersys will make a instalable cd of your current set up, so you install all the stuff you want, make a cd with remastersys and you can install your customised ubuntu, with all the extra packages, should you want to.
[20:02] <WaltherFI> hockebocke: so probably you should go to the appearance preferences as root to change how things are displayed to the root user
[20:02] <hockebocke> WaltherFI: the theme is there, since it once was correct when I logged out and then instantly back in again. But after a reboot it all when "old gnome standard theme" again. And logging out and in doesnt work anymore.
[20:02] <hockebocke> WaltherFI: sudo <what>?
[20:02] <WaltherFI> hockebocke: metacity --replace?
[20:02] <bencahill> m1chael: what exactly are you trying to do?
[20:03] <WaltherFI> hockebocke: try sudo metacity --replace and compiz --replace (if you use compiz)
[20:03] <hockebocke> WaltherFI: light-themes is installed, and ambience is already selected in the prefs.
[20:04] <frank> where does mplayer expect the codecs to be?
[20:04] <WaltherFI> frank: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras but check if that is legal in your country
[20:05] <WaltherFI> frank: that way you wouldn't have to worry about setting up the drivers
[20:05] <KM0201> lol, and if its not legal in your country, install it anyway
[20:05] <hockebocke> WaltherFI: Ctrl-C metacity made terminal window not taking focus, and now I can't start a window manager anymore :/
[20:05] <frank> WaltherFI: thanks but I need the folder where to put codecs. the ubuntu-restricted-extras doesnt cover the particular codec i want to use
[20:05] <hockebocke> WaltherFI: is there a way to start it from ctrl-alt-F2 console?
[20:05] <KM0201> frank: what type of file are you trying to play
[20:05] <BluesKaj> KM0201, political correctness at work there :)
[20:05] <WaltherFI> hockebocke: ctrl-alt-t brings you new terminal
[20:06] <KM0201> BluesKaj:  :)
[20:06] <m1chael> i am trying to serve files through apache that are on a usb drive
[20:06] <WaltherFI> hockebocke: also, try compiz --replace &
[20:06] <m1chael> and im getting a forbidden error
[20:06] <bencahill> !who | m1chael
[20:06] <WaltherFI> the & will make it keep running
[20:06] <frank> WaltherFI: http://nopaste.info/fc8e3a8895.html
[20:06] <WaltherFI> frank: hang on a second
[20:07] <hockebocke> WaltherFI: it didn't take focus, but in the plain terminal (ctrl-alt-f2) doing DISPLAY=:0.0 metacity --replace did the trick
[20:07] <bencahill> m1chael: ntfs on a usb drive?
[20:07] <rusty149> m1chael: Check the file permissions for the files on the usb drive
[20:07] <WaltherFI> hockebocke: ok. do you have compiz running?
[20:07] <bencahill> rusty149: it's ntfs (re m1chael)
[20:07] <WaltherFI> hockebocke: you could try adding metacity or compiz replace to startup apps
[20:08] <WaltherFI> frank: what codec do you need?
[20:08] <frank> WaltherFI: I found out that http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/all-20100303.tar.bz2 includes a wma9dmod.dll. Presumably the one I need. So I'm trying to find out where mplayer expects its codecs, so I can put it there. In the windows mplayer version there has been a folder called "codecs" in the mplayer dir where you just dumped the codecs and everything was fine
[20:08] <m1chael> rusty149: the file permissions are wrong, but i cannot change them because this drive is NTFS
[20:08] <m1chael> bencahill: yes, NTFS on a USB drive, don't know how that happened
[20:08] <rusty149> m1chael: You need to change it in the mount options.
[20:08] <hockebocke> WaltherFI: no, i gained control of my desktop. The theme is still very wrong :)
[20:08] <WaltherFI> frank: check /home/yourusername/.mplayer
[20:09] <rusty149> m1chael: I always use ntfs for my usb drives.
[20:09] <WaltherFI> hockebocke: do you have compiz running?
[20:09] <bencahill> m1chael: just curious :)
[20:09] <markskilbeck> xangua: this is the bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/notify-osd/+bug/664506
[20:09] <m1chael> rusty149: that is what im trying to figure out how to do, but i'm feeling lost on how to do this
[20:09] <markskilbeck> xangua: look at the screenshot
[20:09] <ner0x> Is that a way to make Banshee just show files rather than their own "LIbrary" ?
[20:09] <frank> WaltherFI: ~/.mplayer only holds an empty config where I can override default settings from /etc/mplayer/config
[20:09] <rusty149> m1chael: is it mounted using ftab, automatcally or manually?
[20:09] <m1chael> rusty149: automatically.. i just plug in the drive and it workks
[20:09] <WaltherFI> frank: don't know then...
[20:10] <hockebocke> WaltherFI: there is a little thing though; when changing to "Ambience" and then reopen the Apperance again, it says "Custom..."
[20:10] <xangua> markskilbeck: i already told you is not a but, is at it is; want to tweak notif-osd¿ try this http://www.webupd8.org/2010/07/patched-notifyosd-updates-option-to.html
[20:10] <xangua> is not a bug*
[20:10] <WaltherFI> hockebocke: well that's just some random... idk
[20:11] <markskilbeck> xangua: it absolutely is a bug.
[20:11] <WaltherFI> hockebocke: if you do any changes it goes to custom
[20:11] <WaltherFI> markskilbeck: what is?
[20:11] <rusty149> m1chael: Ubuntu Server or Desktop?
[20:11] <m1chael> ubuntu desktop
[20:11] <WaltherFI> markskilbeck: i was asking about notify-osd a moment ago, so iäm interested
[20:11] <markskilbeck> The Sound Applet's notification does NOT release its notification. Thereby preventing other notifications from appearing in the top-right.
[20:11] <danipolo> I installed ubuntu and opensuse on same box.  but my opensuse install overwrote /boot.  I need to restore it
[20:11] <nikhilax> how to get my partition table back, waltherFI. That was not helpful
[20:11] <markskilbeck> WaltherFI: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/57974399/notifyosdlow.png
[20:11] <danipolo> I already mount ubuntu inside of suse
[20:12] <WaltherFI> markskilbeck: ahh, i talked about that
[20:12] <xangua> markskilbeck: is not, stop that; reclaim to mark shuttleworth
[20:12] <usuario_> aaa
[20:12] <danipolo> so now I just need some help on how to restore /boot
[20:12] <markskilbeck> xangua: stop it with your broken English.
[20:12] <Wicked> hello all. lost power due to a snow storm and trying to reboot my ubuntu server now and its checking the filesystesm(to be expected)...but it has not output any info in the last 5-10 mins and im worried it has stalled out or something. the last couple ines are: /dev/sdX clean blah blah blah <new line> /dev/sdbX blah blah files (6.0% contguous) <new line> init: ureadahead-other main process (XXXX) terminated with status 4
[20:12] <markskilbeck> WaltherFI: you see it too?
[20:12] <WaltherFI> all notifications shuld be at the same level
[20:12] <WaltherFI> markskilbeck: yeah, some notifications are displayed higher and some lower
[20:13] <Wicked> seems like its taking a long time to do the checks without any output. would have nice if it was more verbose
[20:13] <WaltherFI> markskilbeck: they should be on top, and if simultaneous notifications are present then they should make way and go lower
[20:13] <nikhilax> how to get my partition tables back? please help? my partition tables accidently deleted
[20:13] <bencahill> Wicked: i don't know about the verbosity, but i've had some disk checks take as long as 15-20, maybe 30 minutes
[20:13] <xangua> markskilbeck: not everyone here speaks english as it's native language
[20:14] <bencahill> xangua: we know :)
[20:14] <rusty149> m1chael: I would turn off automount and set to mount using fstab.
[20:14] <rabies> anyone know why i would be getting ^? when pressing backspace in vim? im sshing into a ubuntu machine
[20:14] <rusty149> m1chael: Then you can specify permissions
[20:14] <WaltherFI> nikhilax: i'm sorry but i can't be much of a help with that issue - but certainly do not write anything to that disk
[20:14] <m1chael> rusty149: okay thanks bud
[20:14] <WaltherFI> nikhilax: you should probably search the forums, i think there are good threads about it too
[20:14] <bencahill> rabies: are you using backspace in insert mode?
[20:14] <rabies> i want backspace to type ^h in vim
[20:15] <rabies> bencahill: ya, i am
[20:15] <danipolo> Its not my intetion to spam, but around to help me with missing /boot directory :) ?
[20:15] <nikhilax> waltherFI, Thanks ..
[20:15] <nikhilax> Any one else can help me with this?
[20:15] <danipolo> s/but around/but is anyone around/
[20:15] <bencahill> rabies: no reason to, just hit esc (to exit insert mode) and use del
[20:15] <nikhilax> partition tables?
[20:15] <Eren> there was a GTK program which is capable of streaming last.fm songs. However, it first downloaded a few songs, and started playing
[20:15] <rusty149> m1chael: Also , use the UUID as the device name. because it is likely to change as a usb drive
[20:15] <rabies> bencahill: can you tell me how to enable it so i can use backspace in insert mode?
[20:15] <Eren> does anyone remember the name of it?
[20:15] <bencahill> !ot | nikhilax
[20:15] <danipolo> I installed opensuse and accidentally overwrote /boot
[20:16] <KM0201> danielck: so what, now you can boot opensuse, but not ubuntu?
[20:16] <bencahill> rabies: a quick google brought up this: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Erasing_previously_entered_characters_in_insert_mode
[20:16] <hockebocke> WaltherFI: FOUND IT!! It's the gnome-settings-daemon hanging! After restarting it, it all went "ambience" !!
[20:16] <m1chael> rusty149: okay
[20:16] <WaltherFI> danipolo: boot from ubuntu livecd and run grub-install /dev/yourHDD
[20:16] <nikhilax> ubottu, i am asking ubuntu related as by using ubuntu my tables crashed;
[20:16] <WaltherFI> hockebocke: ah..
[20:16] <danipolo> ok, thanks!
[20:16] <WaltherFI> hockebocke: daemons can be devilish occasionally
[20:16] <bencahill> nikhilax: how did ubuntu delete your partition table? :-/
[20:16] <WaltherFI> pun intended
[20:17] <bencahill> hockebocke: LOL!
[20:17] <KM0201> bencahill: i bet it starts off with "well, i wasn't paying attention..."
[20:17] <nikhilax> bencahill, testdisk
[20:17] <rusty149> danipolo: Have you tried, reinstalling grub?
[20:17] <WaltherFI> bencahill: probably not ubuntu, just a hw fail or poweroff
[20:17] <circust> alguien que me diga algun progrma
[20:17] <circust> a
[20:17] <rabies> bencahill: by default the backspace key "works" but its sending ^? not whatever vim needs to delete a character

[20:17] <circust> y todo eso porfa
[20:17] <KM0201> nikhilax: test disk doesn't delete partitions...
[20:17] <FloodBot3> circust: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:17] <bencahill> rabies: did you try what the link said?
[20:17] <Laibsch> Anybody have an idea what I should do to get myself out of bug 701961?
[20:17] <bencahill> WaltherFI: right
[20:17] <nikhilax> KM0201, it can
[20:17] <rabies> bencahill: yes..
[20:18] <jpmonette> my laptop HD is now at 52 celcius
[20:18] <bencahill> rabies: and it didn't work?
[20:18] <hockebocke> WaltherFI: but since this is not my machine, I'm a bit worried it will happen later too... googling on it aws
[20:18] <KM0201> nikhilax: so i guess it goes back to my "i wasn't paying attention..." thought.
[20:18] <rabies> anyone else know how to make it so backspace deletes a character in insert mode instead of printing ^?
[20:18] <jpmonette> I read the Wiki to fix the temp, but it doesn't work =/
[20:18] <Wicked> bencahill  ah ok
[20:18] <nikhilax> Km0201 can u help me with recovering partition tables?
[20:18] <rabies> rabies: well it did exactly what it was supposed to, but backspace is still bound to send the wrong thing
[20:18] <Laibsch> jpmonette: that's nothing to worry about
[20:18] <bencahill> rabies: in #vim they'll know that better
[20:18] <bencahill> rabies: talking to yourself? :)
[20:18] <jpmonette> Laibsch, I burn my hands when I touch my laptop
[20:18] <KM0201> nikhilax: no.. i think you've likely learned a valuable lesson today... but the instructions on that link are fairly clear
[20:18] <jpmonette> I can't put it on my laps since it's too hot
[20:19] <WaltherFI> hockebocke: my computer/hd did that once, and my cousin recovered some of the data
[20:19] <WaltherFI> hockebocke: but i still had to install it completely clean from beginning
[20:19] <Laibsch> jpmonette: I suppose that the CPU is more to blame than the HD
[20:19] <clayd> can some one point me inthe direct for a driver for a xerox 7120 printer?
[20:19] <WaltherFI> hockebocke: losing partition tables is not a small thing
[20:19] <rabies> bencahill: whatever, i fixed it
[20:19] <Laibsch> clayd: linuxprinting.org (and maybe google)
[20:19] <bencahill> jpmonette: have you cleaned it out?
[20:19] <nikhilax> KM0201 yes. i am not using gparted to see it shows all disk unallocated
[20:19] <nikhilax> so how can i reconverr the data?
[20:19] <rabies> bencahill: im adept at using google though =P
[20:20] <jpmonette> cleaned inside bencahill ?
[20:20] <Vhozard> How can I run wine as root?
[20:20] <WaltherFI> clayd: should work out of the box?
[20:20] <rabies> geeze
[20:20] <bencahill> rabies: goody :)
[20:20] <KM0201> nikhilax: thus my point... it all depends on how it became unallocated, as to whether your data is there or not.
[20:20] <bencahill> jpmonette: yes

[20:20] <rabies> bencahill: you are very unhelpful!
[20:20] <Vhozard> And please don't give me the "never run wine as root" bullcrap.
[20:20] <clayd> thanks  google isnt giving me much.  Walther?  How is that?
[20:20] <bencahill> rabies: lol, i pointed you to #vim!
[20:20] <rabies> bencahill: pfft
[20:20] <Laibsch> clayd: linuxprinting.org
[20:20] <Laibsch> has a database

[20:21] <bencahill> jpmonette: that's just the hdd's smart data
[20:21] <bencahill> KM0201: give it up :)
[20:21] <KM0201> nikhilax: have you ried that link you were given earlier on daa recovery?
[20:21] <clayd> the workcentre 7120 is not listed
[20:22] <WaltherFI> clayd: then pick the generic and try printing
[20:22] <clayd> will give it a try
[20:22] <KM0201> bencahill: he needs to embrace the horror, he acts like someone here is gonna wave a wand over his machine, and restore his data, and the chances of that is very very slim.
[20:22] <nikhilax> yes i tried that help.ubuntu/datarecovery
[20:22] <KM0201> nikhilax: how did you "try it".. you were just given that link like 15min ago...
[20:22] <bencahill> KM0201: yes, that is how many seem to think :)

[20:23] <bencahill> edwardo: http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/chanlist//
[20:23] <KM0201> nikhilax: if you followd those instructions, you should have a partition table now.
[20:23] <WaltherFI> nikhilax: recovering data from failed drive is exhausting
[20:23] <WaltherFI> KM0201: unless HW fail

[20:24] <jonf> hi, I am having a problem creating a bootable Ubuntu USB stick on OSX using the install instructions
[20:25] <crush3r> How do I get the onscreen keyboard to work in Ubuntu 10 Netbook Edition? I have it installed on a tablet PC.
[20:25] <gobbe> jonf, are you trying to boot it with mac or pc
[20:25] <nikhilax> i did accoding upto i understand but you guys are saying it should take more time so i must be missing something
[20:25] <KM0201> nikhilax: you seem to want someone to do this for you, and somebody would be crazy to do that, becuase if your data is lost, you're going to blame them.. .read that link, COMPLETELY.. and do what it says
[20:25] <jonf> hdiutil convert does not seem to be converting - the output file has the same md5sum as the input file
[20:25] <jonf> trying to boot it on a pc
[20:25] <WaltherFI> crush3r: ow, i'm sorry to say but it is very alpha / beta stage
[20:25] <gobbe> jonf, instructions are for mac
[20:25] <crush3r> Ah, so no onscreen keyboard yet?
[20:25] <clayd> WaltherFi  thanks that got me closer.  Now to figure out color

[20:26] <tis> does anyone have experience with getting iphone to work with 10.04?
[20:26] <KM0201> ah wait, envermind, you can use an ubuntu cd, it has most of the tools you need
[20:26] <clayd> any sugestions on the generic model to pick.  I went with PCL 6
[20:27] <WaltherFI> tis: there are very good tutorials at ubuntu documentations

[20:27] <tis> pretty much everything i've read has told me that it SHOULD work out of the box, and yet it doesn't.

[20:29] <edwardo> how do i add accounts?
[20:29] <bencahill> So, is there some way I could remotely emulate keyboard input?
[20:29] <WaltherFI> edwardo: preferences - add
[20:29] <meway> bencahill: its related. I forgot to mention on ubuntu server. but if it makes anyone feel better pm me about the matter if you have an appropriate answer.
[20:29] <bencahill> alaing: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf i think, or something like that
[20:29] <edwardo> thank you got it
[20:29] <tis> so no one has experience with this issue?
[20:30] <WaltherFI> edwardo: i've had three active mailboxes on evolution for 2 years, works fantastically
[20:30] <WaltherFI> tis: no, for the iPhone of my friend it worked flawlessy
[20:30] <bencahill> meway: how is it related to ubuntu? because the web server is running ubuntu?
[20:30] <WaltherFI> tis: jailbreaked or not?
[20:30] <clayd> ha ha.  I go my color.  Printer options had set default to grayscale :)
[20:30] <Linden940> Hello i am using evolution an it use 2 save a copy of the sent e-mail on the server but it stopped doing so...anyone know how to fix it?

[20:31] <brontoeee> Vhozard, easy way is thunar
[20:31] <edwardo> evolution doesnt seem to like my school email address it cant find the server
[20:31] <WaltherFI> clayd: yep. And remember, ubuntu very rarely needs any drivers to be isntalled
[20:31] <bencahill> meway: still not related to ubuntu
[20:31] <Vhozard> just installed thunar

[20:31] <nothingspecial> bencahill: I don`t understand?????
[20:31] <yeats> Vhozard: if you want a GUI program, try pyrenamer
[20:31] <WaltherFI> edwardo: remember to ad the correct port
[20:31] <clayd> that is good to know.  Thanks a ton WaltherFI
[20:31] <meway> bencahill: no need to troll around ^_^
[20:32] <WaltherFI> edwardo: like mail.domain.com:993 or so
[20:32] <bencahill> nothingspecial: :P
[20:32] <bencahill> nothingspecial: either that, or something like starting the program with expect, and feeding strokes to it from that...
[20:32] <WaltherFI> clayd: youä
[20:32] <WaltherFI> clayd: you're welcome

[20:32] <WaltherFI> kervan: you shouldn't need a root user
[20:32] <bencahill> nothingspecial: it's the picture frame install (i talked alot about it before xmas) and the program fbi, it uses keystrokes for certain functions, and i'd like to be able to control it remotely
[20:32] <jason_fn> what is exact command?
[20:32] <WaltherFI> kervan: in case you need, use sudo su
[20:33] <Pici> WaltherFI, kervan: sudo su is redundant, use sudo -s, (or sudo -i)
[20:33] <Linden940> Hello i am using evolution an it use 2 save a copy of the sent e-mail on the server but it stopped doing so...anyone know how to fix it?
[20:33] <brontoeee> Vhozard, hold on...
[20:33] <aeon-ltd> jason_fn: sudo swapon -a
[20:33] <WaltherFI> Linden940: is it changed to POP3?
[20:33] <Mahjongg> how do you turn off the encrypted home directory feature, turned on for a specific user?>
[20:33] <WaltherFI> Linden940: check it is an IMAP folder
[20:33] <Linden940> no its IMAP
[20:34] <kervan> WaltherFI: I want to share my own passowrd with each others but I don't want let them change system settings. Do you have a idea about this?
[20:34] <WaltherFI> check your sening options
[20:34] <brontoeee> Vhozard, select files, rmb rename, set your rules...ect
[20:34] <Linden940> it use 2 save a copy of sent e-mails online...now it stoped doing so
[20:34] <jason_fn> aeon-ltd, thanks, but i need i first enlist the partition in fstab?
[20:34] <Vhozard> oh fuck
[20:34] <bencahill> !who | Linden940
[20:34] <Pici> Vhozard: Please mind your language.
[20:34] <alaing> when i open my /etc/apache2/httpd.conf its empty is that normal
[20:34] <Vhozard> I have like 100 folders
[20:34] <Vhozard> I cant open up each folder
[20:34] <nothingspecial> bencahill: Through a ssh session?
[20:34] <WaltherFI> kervan: hmm... you should remove yourself from sudoers list, which would be stupid too
[20:34] <yeats> kervan: if you create other users, they do not have system permissions by default
[20:35] <Vhozard> Ill try pyrenamer now then
[20:35] <bencahill> alaing: is it empty or non-existent?
[20:35] <kyle1> what ubuntu ver is kamic?
[20:35] <rusty149> Vhozard: what do you want to do with 100 files?
[20:35] <bencahill> nothingspecial: that would be fine
[20:35] <kyle1> what ubuntu ver is karmic?
[20:35] <Pici> kyle1: 9.10
[20:35] <yeats> !9.10 | kyle1
[20:35] <brontoeee> kyle1, 9.10?
[20:35] <rusty149> Vhozard: *folders
[20:35] <kyle1> what 10.4
[20:35] <Vhozard> I have 100 folder with 20 files in them
[20:35] <bencahill> whoa!
[20:35] <Vhozard> I want to rename them
[20:35] <kervan> But I have a lot of friends that uses my computer
[20:35] <bencahill> !10.4 | kylel
[20:36] <bencahill> LOL!
[20:36] <WaltherFI> kervan: guest user
[20:36] <kervan>  I need a solution like Debian is this possible by changing something?
[20:36] <nothingspecial> bencahill: The easiest way would be to use byobu, but there is a way through ssh, give me a minute
[20:36] <Vhozard> Bulk Rename Utility is great, but it gives an Write error on this specific folder...
[20:36] <rusty149> Vhozard: 20 in each folder
[20:36] <kyle1> Pici: hello pici
[20:36] <aeon-ltd> jason_fn: i presume so, since you'l need it mounted at boot
[20:36] <Linden940> WaltherFI, its IMAP not POP3...it use 2 save a copy on the server but it stoped doing so...I would like it to do so..so when I am not at desktop an sign into mail online I can view sent folder
[20:36] <Vhozard> alot of files in alot of folders, yes
[20:36] <yeats> kyle1: see here for info on all releases: http://releases.ubuntu.com/
[20:36] <kyle1> no whats the name of 10.4
[20:37] <Pici> kyle1: take a look at yeats's link.
[20:37] <WaltherFI> Linden940: check your sending settings
[20:37] <bencahill> nothingspecial: that's cool, but could I do that through ssh/remotely?
[20:37] <WaltherFI> Linden940: there should be a tickbox with save sent on server iirc
[20:37] <kyle1> ta
[20:37] <bencahill> kyle1: lucid lynx
[20:37] <WaltherFI> !10.04 | kyle1
[20:37] <jason_fn> aeon-ltd, thanks a lot. just installed ubuntu without swap. works fine but anyway.
[20:38] <alaing> it exists but is empty when i open it
[20:38] <Linden940> WaltherFI, I am using evolution  an there is no check box for save sent on server
[20:38] <Tekk_> how do I install a package without it's dependencies? sudo apt-get install --no-deps foo isn't working
[20:38] <kyle1> what driver doi i doenload for 10.4 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters/LexmarkPrinters?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=lexmark.z600-0.4.deb
[20:38] <bencahill> alaing: if you need help with apache, #httpd would probably be better
[20:38] <Pici> Tekk_: You don't.  Thats the point of dependencies.
[20:39] <bencahill> Tekk_: why?
[20:39] <Tekk_> Pici: however there are cases(like virtual packages) where you need to install without deps ;)
[20:39] <WaltherFI> Linden940: hm, if you're sending through correct smtp, it should work
[20:39] <Tekk_> bencahill: installing a package that depends on virtual packages that aren't needed(just artwork and stuff that it should take from my theme)
[20:39] <Linden940> WaltherFI, it will send the e-mail but it wont save it to the online sent folder...
[20:39] <Tekk_> bencahill: so I already installed all the real deps, leaving just them ;)
[20:40] <WaltherFI> Linden940: that is not evolution's fault then
[20:40] <WaltherFI> Linden940: check your webmail settings, there might be something
[20:40] <rusty149> Tekk_: I think you can use the download option.
[20:40] <yeats> Tekk_: apt-get won't work that way... you can download a .deb and use 'dpkg -i' (at your own risk)
[20:40] <Tekk_> alright
[20:40] <ben225> anyone know a good screencasting tool in ubuntu?
[20:40] <Linden940> WaltherFI, i will look again but I had checked over that like 3 times now give me a few to check
[20:40] <Pici> !screencast | ben225 a bunch
[20:41] <ben225> awesome, any prefs?
[20:41] <Mahjongg> how do you turn off the encrypted home directory feature, turned on for a specific user?
[20:41] <yeats> Tekk_: of course, dpkg also checks for dependencies/conflicts, but not like APT
[20:41] <ben225> thanks ubottu, & Pici
[20:42] <WaltherFI> Linden940: if evolution sends the mails through SMTP and it gets delivered, it is for evolution to decide whether the copy gets saved
[20:42] <WaltherFI> Mahjongg: hard to do
[20:42] <WaltherFI> Mahjongg: do you have separate partition for /home?
[20:42] <svm_invictvs> How do I actually enable the "nvidia" driver in my Xorg.conf.
[20:42] <Linden940> WaltherFI, where would I find the setting that would save the copy online?
[20:42] <svm_invictvs> I don't actually see an xorg.conf in /etc/X11
[20:43] <Mahjongg> WaltherFI, yes
[20:43] <WaltherFI> Linden940: probably at your webmail, as the webmail clients are usually on the actual server
[20:43] <svm_invictvs> I seem to recall Ubuntu moved things over to /usr/share/X11/conf
[20:43] <svm_invictvs> BUt, I see nothing about the driver in any of those files.   Are both these boxes on your lan? Does the remote box have a keyboard?
[20:43] <WaltherFI> Mahjongg: then take a livecd, install ubuntu again, have /home as separate and do not format it
[20:43] <WaltherFI> Mahjongg: and add same login info, user names etc
[20:43] <WaltherFI> Mahjongg: and don't check the encrypt box
[20:43] <WaltherFI> Mahjongg: same password also, it decrypts it then
[20:44] <shiv> what is the mount path for iphone. I can browse everything on the desktop. Where does it mount?
[20:44] <WaltherFI> Mahjongg: it was the easiest way for me at least
[20:44]  * KM0201 has never put home on its own partition
[20:44] <WaltherFI> shiv: /media/ or /mnt/
[20:44] <WaltherFI> KM0201: it has turned out to be very useful
[20:44] <bastidrazor> shiv: dmesg will tell you also mount or even df -h
[20:44] <Um_cara_Qualquer> excuse me, I saw this mouse theme and tried to install it, but it doesn't stay with the theme when it's not on firefox or any aplications... anyone knows how can I fix it?
[20:44] <Mahjongg> WaltherFI, wow, really that hard?
[20:44] <WaltherFI> KM0201: clean installs without removing personal stugg
[20:44] <WaltherFI> Mahjongg: that was the easiest i know of
[20:44] <Mahjongg> WaltherFI, thanks
[20:45] <Andycas> how do i move direcotry one level down? like "mv /dir/dir2 ../"
[20:45] <KM0201> WaltherFI: just seems to much trouble than its wortht o me... i can reconfigure my PC in about 5-10min after a clean install, i just go through, uninstall what i don't want, install what i want, then i have a "configuration file".. that i've noted all changes to my normally used software on, and i just roll through and do it all at once
[20:46] <aeon-ltd> Andycas: go into a folder than is actually one level down?
[20:46] <bastidrazor> Andycas: you would need to NOT be in the directory to be moved.  mv /path/to/dir /new/path
[20:46] <WaltherFI> KM0201: should do that too, but i have too much stuff saved on /home (documents, images (photography))
[20:46] <shiv> WaltherFI, bastidrazor its not their but I can browse it fine. I want to ftp stuff from iphone to my server and I cannot figure out the path where iphone is mounted :( /mnt and /media are empty
[20:46] <bastidrazor> Andycas: or be one down for dir.. mv dir .
[20:46] <Andycas> bastidrazor, I want to use relative path
[20:46] <KM0201> WaltherFI: yeah, i don't keep much in my home... i keep it all on a separate partition, that doesn't get touched at all when i reinstall
[20:47] <WaltherFI> KM0201: well then you have the same situation, almost
[20:47] <KM0201> WaltherFI: sort of, except i do have to go through and reconfigure my softeare
[20:48] <WaltherFI> KM0201: well, two days ago i purged all .folders in home except evolution and wine
[20:48] <WaltherFI> KM0201: my computer had become slow, can you believe it
[20:48] <KM0201> hmm
[20:48] <bencahill> nothingspecial: sry, afk for a minute...yes, these are both on the lan and (mostly) on 24/7. One is being used as a diy digital picture frame (old laptop) that is hung on the wall, and has no keyboard attached to it
[20:48] <KM0201> lol
[20:50] <bencahill> nothingspecial: ...I would like to be able to control the picture frame from another computer if I want to pause on a picture, or go back, I already have methods implemented for adding new pictures and restarting the slideshow, but it would be nice to be able to control fbi itself
[20:50] <nothingspecial> bencahill: Ah, I do that a completely different way, but it requires X, not a full DE, just X and openbox or something. Interested, or not possible?
[20:50] <bencahill> KM0201: was the lol at me? :)
[20:51] <KM0201> bencahill: no... something someone else said.
[20:51] <bencahill> KM0201: ah ok :)
[20:51] <KM0201> i think i accidentally put it here as opposed to somewhere else
[20:51] <bencahill> nothingspecial: really would rather not have to install x/wm, as it works great as it is, just can't control it :)
[20:52] <watermlei> Hello. I have just installed Ubuntu. I was going to install on an old machine, so I burnt an i386 version of Ubuntu, but ended up installing on a new machine which has over 4GB of memory. This slipped my mind until just now. Is there an easy way to upgrade to x86-64?
[20:52] <nothingspecial> bencahill: Give me a minute or 5, I`ll paste bin everything I know, or can think of????
[20:53] <WaltherFI> watermlei: no
[20:53] <bencahill> nothingspecial: ok, thanks :)
[20:53] <WaltherFI> watermlei: sorry to say, but changing to different _platform_ is impossible without clean install
[20:54] <kyle1> join vbox
[20:54] <kyle1> oops
[20:54] <bencahill> kyle1: /join #vbox
[20:54] <kyle1> yeh yeh ! i thought someone would pick up quick !
[20:54] <bencahill> kyle1: :)
[20:54] <kyle1> benahill: you that quick in bed ;)
[20:55] <Gnea> !language | kyle1
[20:55] <bencahill> kyle1: 2:54pm here, and ot
[20:55] <brontoeee>     would gparted resize fat32 partition?
[20:55] <aeon-ltd> brontoeee: should do
[20:55] <bencahill> Gnea: nice one, I thought he was talking about current time of day
[20:55] <bencahill> s/one/catch/
[20:56] <kyle1> oops again, seems there are quicker people than you. lol. Finished now..
[20:56] <cdubya> anyone had trouble with audio on skype 2.1 beta and 10.04?
[20:56] <bencahill> kyle1: np :)
[20:56] <WaltherFI> brontoeee: gparted resize has been depleted
[20:56] <svm_invictvs> Ugh
[20:56] <watermlei> WaltherFI: Why? that's a bummer.
[20:56] <svm_invictvs> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia#Recommended step for Ubuntu 10.10
[20:56] <WaltherFI> watermlei: dunno, probably because it was _very_ unstable
[20:56] <svm_invictvs> Following that guide, it is telling me there is a "Software Sources" application under Administration.
[20:56] <brontoeee> walmis, deplteted? is that a word?
[20:57] <svm_invictvs> Where is it?
[20:57] <svm_invictvs> I do not have that installed.  How do I install it?
[20:57] <WaltherFI> brontoeee: depleted, removed functionality
[20:57] <watermlei> I'm almost tempted just to install Arch from the get-go. Last time I wanted to do something a bit unusual during install I was told that it was also impossible with Ubuntu's tools
[20:58] <WaltherFI> watermlei: yeah the gparted resize was cool
[20:58] <watermlei> Can I launch the installer from a chroot?
[20:58] <WaltherFI> watermlei: however, it lead to my partition table go mad once
[20:58] <WaltherFI> watermlei: yes
[20:58] <brontoeee> WaltherFI, i am just resizing fat32 and making a new ntfs one, so ..., ??
[20:58] <ejv> watermlei: you can compile a 32bit kernel with high memory support, instead of overhauling
[20:59] <WaltherFI> brontoeee: you can delete the fat32 and make two smaller partitions from it
[20:59] <WaltherFI> brontoeee: but no more resizing with keeping the data
[20:59] <svm_invictvs> What is the applicaion that manages the 'SOftware Sources' called?
[20:59] <watermlei> ejv: I think I'd rather use a straight x64 install than do a custom kernel here, it's a client machine that I won't be using much and needs to be easy to maintain
[20:59] <svm_invictvs> Does anybody know?
[20:59] <brontoeee> WaltherFI, uhm, iam saying its just doing it, but i may not do it nicely
[21:00] <watermlei> Thanks for the suggestion though. I will probably just overwrite the OS with 64-bit on Friday when I come in to remove the old server
[21:00] <prakriti> in the file browser, what is the shortcut bar on the right hand side called?  the one that lets you click desktop or computer or home
[21:00] <casmo> Hello, running Ubuntu 10.10 and installed Apache, PHP and MySQL, even got the rewrite.load and stuff isntalled but mod_rewrite in Apache won't work, anyone an idea?
[21:00] <ejv> watermlei: it's just a slight modification, it won't destroy the installation and you can always fall back if you mess up
[21:00] <milamber> svm_invictvs: i'm pretty sure it is: software-sources
[21:01] <WaltherFI> casmo: checked the mod_rewrite functions?
[21:01] <guntbert> svm_invictvs: gksu --desktop /usr/share/applications/software-properties.desktop /usr/bin/software-properties-gtk
[21:01] <WaltherFI> casmo: writing .htaccess is a hell
[21:01] <milamber> svm_invictvs: software-center*
[21:01] <casmo> You mean <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>RewriteEngine On</IfModule> in the configs?
[21:01] <WaltherFI> casmo: no, but the actual rewrite commands you have in for example .htaccess file
[21:01] <Nach0z> Hey i've got kind of an unusual issue, my SSH terminal for a specific user isn't giving me any of the colors that it used to. All of the other users have colors for each file when I do ls, but this one user just has normal black and white text. How do I fix this?
[21:01] <casmo> The strange thing is, when i ask for all installed Modules in Apache, mod_rewrite doesn't show up\
[21:02] <WaltherFI> hmm
[21:02] <casmo> Yeah, its from the CakePHP Framework, and im pretty sure it worked on my previous machine
[21:02] <WaltherFI> mod_rewrite is important, and pure art can be done with that to webistes...
[21:02] <inashdeen> hi
[21:03] <inashdeen> need to ask bout something
[21:03] <inashdeen> it is about ubuntu, i had been using ub for 3 yrs
[21:03] <inashdeen> the problem is, ubuntu have great major problem with usb modem, i mean, sometimes it connect
[21:03] <guntbert> !enter | inashdeen
[21:04] <inashdeen> n many time it just wont connect that u need to restart again n again and again. so can anyone tell me how to resolve this issue
[21:04] <janisozaur> how can I 'duplicate' /dev/tty* serial device, so that I could attach two separate process that would be able to read the same data simultaneously (ie. without 'stealing' the data from each other)?
[21:04] <WaltherFI> janisozaur: cat
[21:05] <brontoeee> casmo, development machine or prod. server?
[21:05] <WaltherFI> janisozaur: cat reads the contents realtime
[21:05] <tuna-fish> Hi, I have an ubuntu server and an ubuntu client, which both have a gbit ethernet controller, but the real transfer speed seems to be 100Mbit. how would I start to debug this?
[21:05] <nothingspecial> bencahill:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/553338/
[21:05] <gobbe> tuna-fish: how did you measure this?
[21:05] <induz> i am looking for calender as it is on MS office
[21:06] <induz> I am using karmic
[21:06] <casmo> My previous Machine was just windows with Apache etc. Btw, when I do a phpinfo(); i see that mod_rewrite is in the Loaded Modules... Strange
[21:06] <WaltherFI> tuna-fish: router?
[21:06] <induz> calender to keep appointments/interviews
[21:06] <inashdeen> anyone
[21:06] <WaltherFI> tuna-fish: also, check ifconfig -a
[21:06] <eoss> how i copy and paste in ubuntu
[21:06] <janisozaur> WaltherFI, yes, but it also removes it from the device. once a one instance of cat reads the data, no other instance of cat can read the very same data the first instance just read
[21:06] <eoss> shortcuts
[21:06] <WaltherFI> induz: evolution mail
[21:06] <tuna-fish> gobbe: file transfer
[21:06] <WaltherFI> induz: it can use google calendar etc
[21:07] <guntbert> eoss: ctrl+c, ctrl+v
[21:07] <janisozaur> eoss, ^C, ^V
[21:07] <st> eoss, ctrl+CV or ctrl/shift+ins
[21:07] <tuna-fish> waltherFI: the ubuntu server is acting as a router
[21:07] <induz> WaltherFI, google has that??
[21:07] <gobbe> tuna-fish: and what does it say for speed?
[21:07] <eoss> ctr C ctrl v doesnt work
[21:07] <st> eoss, also you can copy current text selection by middle-clicking
[21:07] <casmo> brontoeee: I think there is somewhere rewriteEngine Off or override deny, but can't find where
[21:07] <svm_invictvs> Okay....
[21:07] <svm_invictvs> so
[21:07] <guntbert> eoss: in the terminal?
[21:07] <eoss> yea
[21:07] <eoss> and in emacs
[21:07] <svm_invictvs> Where is the master configuration for Xorg?
[21:07] <WaltherFI> induz: google has an email/calendar, and evolution (the default email/calendar client on ubuntu) is cabable of doing that
[21:07] <gobbe> tuna-fish: 1000mbit/s is 125MB/s, about
[21:07] <janisozaur> eoss, that's the way you copy things. perhaps you try to copy to a location you don't have write access to?
[21:08] <tuna-fish> gobbe: 122MB/s
[21:08] <guntbert> eoss: shift+ctrl+c,....
[21:08] <svm_invictvs> There's little snippets in /usr/share/X11/conf (which is inconsistent with the documentation but whatever)
[21:08] <gobbe> tuna-fish: well, that's full speed
[21:08] <svm_invictvs> But, where do I go to configure the nvidia drivers?
[21:08] <gobbe> tuna-fish: 1000mbit cannot transfer more than 125 MB/s
[21:08] <induz> I dont have any SMTP/po3 acc so i dont use email client for ubuntu
[21:08] <svm_invictvs> Where is the actual display drier confifigured?
[21:08] <tuna-fish> wait, sorry
[21:08] <eoss> nope none of that works i am forced to right clicking everything
[21:08] <tuna-fish> 12.2MB/s
