[00:02] <ilovefairuz> CkhiKuzad: kompozer
[00:02] <ilovefairuz> ath88: you don't need a "tunnel" for that, just an ssh server

[00:02] <latagore> !mp3 | latagore
[00:03] <latagore> I can't even see the private message lol. Dunno where to find it
[00:03] <r_s___> ubottu, the sound was working fine before updating pulseaudio
[00:03] <PresuntoRJ> latagore: it must be on another window
[00:03] <PresuntoRJ> latagore: are you typing from a Ubuntu desktop ?
[00:04] <latagore> PresuntoRJ: The empathy IRC is pretty clumsy; I can't see the people in the room and it doesn
[00:04] <latagore> presuntoRJ: open up new windows when people message me
[00:04] <PresuntoRJ> I used to have the same problem with empathy
[00:04] <PresuntoRJ> latagore: you can try using a ppa to upgrade and add functionality to it
[00:05] <PresuntoRJ> latagore: it will get a lot better after you do
[00:05] <Arepie> hello.. is there any way to automaticaly change the source.list to others? the current source.list is not working
[00:05] <Arepie> btw, im using ubuntu-server
[00:05] <Sia--> Arepie, of corse
[00:06] <Sia--> of course*
[00:06] <Arepie> Sia--: how could i do that?
[00:06] <Sia--> edit /etc/apt/source.list
[00:06] <latagore> PresuntoRJ: What exactly am I looking for xO
[00:07] <PresuntoRJ> latagore: I believe you could type $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:telepathy/ppa
[00:07] <Arepie> Sia--: to insert 1 by 1, i can fall asleep :) aren't there any auto generated by command?
[00:07] <PresuntoRJ> latagore: then a $ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get update
[00:08] <Sia--> Arepie, of course
[00:08] <maco> PresuntoRJ: second one supposed to be upgrade?
[00:08] <PresuntoRJ> latagore: that will help you with your telepathy... now regarding your audio, what exactly do you need?
[00:08] <roscogruen> jrib: what do you mean, "!hardware"  ?
[00:08] <latagore> PresuntoRJ: lol everyone asks me to use command line and I use a GUI program x(
[00:08] <PresuntoRJ> latagore: yes, sorry...
[00:08] <maco> roscogruen: things starting with ! are commands for the bot to talk to you
[00:08] <roscogruen> the camera is not on the list given by ubottu
[00:08] <PresuntoRJ> latagore: the second has got to be an upgrade
[00:08] <Sia--> Arepie, and you can use vim to find replace not one by one or
[00:08] <latagore> PresuntoRJ: that's okay, I know how to figure it out from here
[00:09] <roscogruen> i doubt a bot could answer this question, if that is what jman suggested
[00:09] <rahduke> a couple versions ago 9.04 if i remember correctly had a drive management program that let you view which folders on your drive took up the most space, it broke everything down into directory trees and it was really handy.....anyone know what that was? and if i can get it back on 10.04??
[00:09] <roscogruen> or jrib
[00:09] <yoshie> How to have ubuntu auto login instead of requiring password to login ?
[00:09] <stunts513> ilovefairuz: ok now anotehr question, why do i have more than one display subsection?
[00:09] <Sia--> Arepie, for example " sudo wget http:source.com  -N -P /etc/apt/sources.list.d"
[00:10] <rahduke> any1?

[00:10] <rahduke> the program was sick i have no idea why it was removed
[00:10] <hiexpo> evening all
[00:11] <DasEi> hi hiexpo
[00:11] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> rahduke: have you looked through the available software packages yet?
[00:11] <PresuntoRJ> yoshie: you must have the administrator privilegie (able to sudo) and there is an option just for that
[00:11] <stunts513> ok uh maybe you dont need to answer that i may have just figured it out, plus i g2geat dinner, bbl
[00:11] <hiexpo> heya DasEi
[00:11] <Sia--> Arepie, but i never heart that linux admin hate editing the code on by one
[00:11] <rahduke> Cmdr_W_T_Riker: i dont even know what to search for, i searched for drive management and hard drive but didnt find anything useful
[00:11] <bpietro> hi to all. Lucid don't like Zope? Why I can install bunch of zope utilities and zope related packages but main Zope package is missing. Both, apt-get or Synaptic, nope. But in repository, dir pool/main/z/ there is zope2.11 deb package.  So how I can install it? Or there is some reason of non install it?
[00:11] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> rahduke: let me give it a try
[00:11] <PresuntoRJ> yoshie: no problem... it happens to me all the time as well
[00:11] <rahduke> Cmdr_W_T_Riker: thanks very much
[00:12] <Arepie> Sia--: im the "never" type :)
[00:12] <DasEi> bpietro: try with zope-common
[00:13] <Armymen>  i have a question, when i move my mouse away from a windows, the windows i have get almost 5% transparent, where can i change how many transparent i want, here a exemple : http://myuploader.net//files/90/Screenshot.png
[00:13] <ilovefairuz> bpietro: search the PPAs
[00:13] <ilovefairuz> !ppa | bpietro
[00:13] <roscogruen> DasEi: it is canon powershot d10
[00:14] <PresuntoRJ> Armymen: it looks like a setting of your compiz...
[00:14] <bpietro> Dasda, tnx, I'm using italian language for desktop and there is bad translation for this package, so it seems to be one of supprot packages and not main one. tnx
[00:15] <soreau> Armymen: PresuntoRJ is right, you need to set it in ccsm>Add Helper most likely
[00:15] <bpietro> *support
[00:15] <DasEi> roscogruen: did you try cheese on it ?
[00:15] <PresuntoRJ> Armymen: if you don't have it installed yet, you at least should look at the compizconfig-settings-manager package ($ sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager )
[00:15] <Armymen> i have conpiz
[00:16] <DasEi> bpietro: np, nick is DasEi
[00:16] <Armymen> but did not found the option for that i dont even know how to call that feature :d
[00:16] <roscogruen> DasEi: i don't have it. yet.  will tomorrow.  cheese is a webcam application???
[00:16] <bpietro> sorry, DasEi, ti was automatic tab completition
[00:17] <DasEi> roscogruen: try sudo apt-get install gphoto2 cheese , yes, see :
[00:17] <bpietro> *it was
[00:17] <DasEi> !info cheese
[00:17] <PresuntoRJ> Armymen: it's enabled when you choose the the visual effects in the apearance (and themes) applet ... the compizconfig-settings-manager usually helps me
[00:17] <roscogruen> !info cheese
[00:17] <roscogruen> ?
[00:17] <DasEi> roscogruen: found a forum link : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=45288
[00:17] <DasEi> roscogruen: bbut if you want to buy one, why not look up supported ones first ?
[00:18] <hiexpo> !cheese > roscogruen
[00:18] <Armymen> ok i still gona search but did not see any option for :( snif, im looking :)
[00:18] <thetimes> okie
[00:18] <Armymen> haa found it :D
[00:18] <Armymen> sweet :D
[00:18] <DasEi> roscogruen: http://tinyurl.com/dcurp
[00:18] <PresuntoRJ> Armymen: another possibility to prevent the transparency would be to set the focus always on the screen, when yu have to click somewhere else instead of just moving the mouse away
[00:18] <tucemiux> I have a headless machine with no GUI, REPEAT: no GUI here, how do I completely remove and purge CUPS along with its configuration files??
[00:19] <Armymen> opacity was the option i just when 1 buy 1 desactivate stuff and try :D
[00:19] <DasEi> tucemiux: sudo apt-get remove --purge cups --dry-run , first to see what would happen
[00:19] <tucemiux> DasEi, Thanks!  Let me try that
[00:19] <DasEi> tucemiux: then cut --dry-run to make it execute
[00:20] <PresuntoRJ> Armymen: great ... :D
[00:20] <latagore> PresuntoRJ: =( I don't know what to install for empathy
[00:20] <DasEi> tucemiux: errm cups* it should be

[00:20] <roscogruen> it is a digital camera
[00:20] <roscogruen> hand held
[00:21] <thetimes> woohoo!
[00:21] <thetimes> erm, so..
[00:21] <Coronade> my IRC client needs a GUI
[00:21] <DasEi> roscogruen: yes I see, well the forum link I posted intends you can usse it
[00:21] <Coronade> and QT doesn't support VS2010 at the moment..
[00:21] <bpietro> DasEi, just installed, one small utility, dzhandle. IMHO it isn't Zope main package
[00:23] <DasEi> bpietro: apt-cache search zope lists zope-packages
[00:23] <wzooff> доброй ночи :)
[00:23] <roscogruen> DasEi: thx.  i should have checked for supported cameras.  but that list is very, very old and incomplete.  maybe 1% of cameras sold are on that list
[00:23] <alexeenkoff> тут на русском разговаривают? :)
[00:23] <mibber> Hi can someone help me? i have this error when running 'startx' http://pastebin.com/
[00:23] <maco> !ru | wzooff, alexeenkoff
[00:23] <tucemiux> Dasda, thanks cups* did it, then apt-get autoremove
[00:23] <mibber> woops, here is my error http://pastebin.com/jcSe2r01  -- the problem is with the desktop not working
[00:24] <PresuntoRJ> latagore: in my system I have installed a bunch of packages... after the $ sudo apt-get upgrade ; try a $ sudo apt-get install empathy empathy-common
[00:24] <bpietro> It isn't difficult to me download zope2.11 deb package and install it, I want know whether there is some reason for include in official index files bunch of Zope utilities and not include Zope itself. Anybody knows?
[00:24] <tucemiux> yoshie, you can send me a PM if you want
[00:24] <latagore> PresuntoRJ: I think you typed update twice before =o But okay
[00:24] <DasEi> roscogruen: canon and logilink have good compatibility, most times the handhelds offer cf support, so latest can have a cheap reader then, but usb should also work
[00:24] <roscogruen> the other cameras we have are not on the list and work w/o installing anything.  hope same is true with this new camera.  thx DasE
[00:24] <PresuntoRJ> latagore:  nope, there must be a $sudo apt-get update
[00:25] <PresuntoRJ> latagore: followed by a $ sudo apt-get upgrade
[00:25] <roscogruen> DasEi: i'll be sure to try usb cable first
[00:25] <PresuntoRJ> latagore: one gets to know the latest packages available, the other will actually upgrade anything avaiable
[00:25] <latagore> PresuntoRJ: I must have misread what you said before
[00:26] <PresuntoRJ> latagore: no problem
[00:26] <WillWork4Foo> hi all... forgive the probably daft question, but my google-fu seems to be weak tonight because it's not giving me the answers I need. Does anyone know if there's a list of packages (or even a metapackage) that I can install that will give me the Ubuntu Netbook Edition interface as an option?
[00:26] <snow_ru> u`te' quyen
[00:26] <snow_ru> u`bu'ntu`
[00:26] <sjm> WillWork4Foo, try netbook-launcher, I think
[00:26] <latagore> presuntoRJ: Thanks :]
[00:27] <WillWork4Foo> sjm, looks promising! installing now.
[00:27] <latagore> presuntoRJ: is there any way I can stop the autoscroll in empathy so I can read past messages?
[00:27] <WillWork4Foo> thanks!
[00:27] <sjm> WillWork4Foo, no problem.  Glad to help
[00:28] <PresuntoRJ> the newer empathy has an icon on the notification area which helps unhide some of the features, and blinks when you are called privately on a IRC msg
[00:28] <PresuntoRJ> latagore: nope, I hate this too, but you can keep looking at the history of the conversation for the same effect
[00:28] <sjm> latagore, PresuntoRJ , My opinion, use empathy for IM and xchat for IRC
[00:29] <PresuntoRJ> latagore: have you upgraded the empathy already?
[00:29] <Faissal> lol mibber, post the link to the actual url of where you pasted the error
[00:29] <latagore> I typed upgrade but 0 upgraded

[00:29] <fenrir265> How do I remove applications and games?
[00:29] <PresuntoRJ> sjm: could be, but empathy is what most users will have to handle and cope with since its the software preinstalled on their systems ;)

[00:30] <PresuntoRJ> sjm: it doesn't suck completely, but its faaaaaaar from perfect
[00:30] <sjm> PresuntoRJ, yes, but xchat is "better" for IRC.
[00:30] <coz_> mibber,   try  sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[00:30] <ilovefairuz> stunts513: pastebin your xorg.conf and xorg.log.0
[00:30] <coz_> mibber,  then  sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start or   sudo restart gdm
[00:30] <snow_ru> hmm
[00:30] <stunts513> ok, u want the original xorg before i started screwing with it?
[00:31] <snow_ru> go to microsoft.com
[00:31] <snow_ru> and download windows
[00:31] <mibber> coz_: okay
[00:31] <Coronade> sweet
[00:31] <Coronade> then yo ucan use visual studio 2010 like me
[00:31] <latagore> PresuntoRJ: Sorry I didn't tag your name; When I typed upgrade, it said 0 upgraded; maybe the GUI I used for the PPA address already upgraded
[00:31] <Coronade> and make an IRC client.. like me
[00:31] <snow_ru> it's the best operating system till now
[00:31] <snow_ru> Coronade, it's the best
[00:31] <fenrir265> Can someone please tell me how to remove applications?
[00:31] <Coronade> because C++0x rules (even if it's only TR1)
[00:31] <snow_ru> apt-get remove
[00:32] <coz_> fenrir265,  sure which application do you want to remove?
[00:32] <snow_ru> Coronade, what is C++0x ?
[00:32] <Coronade> D:
[00:32] <snow_ru> Coronade, what is C++0x ?
[00:32] <DasEi> fenrir265: synaptic or apt, which one ?
[00:32] <Coronade> read the wikipedia page about it
[00:32] <fenrir265> a couple of games that i cant figureout
[00:32] <snow_ru> Coronade, what is C++0x ?
[00:32] <Coronade> @snow_ru:  it's the next version of C++
[00:32] <Coronade> :D
[00:32] <coz_> fenrir265,  ok  if you installed these with apt-get or synatpic  you can type in terminal  sudo apt-get autoremove --purge  nameofgame
[00:32] <DasEi> fenrir265: you mean these  gnome-games ?
[00:33] <fenrir265> i dont know
[00:33] <DasEi> coz_:  remove ?!
[00:33] <bpietro> DasEi, I tried first apt-cache, returns empty list. No zope, nor zope2, seems not to be in index file. I know workarround, but why it isn't here, that's question (c W.S)
[00:33] <labgeek> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B0x
[00:33] <fenrir265> ijust got them with the ubuntu application thing
[00:33] <snow_ru> Coronade, what is C++0x ?
[00:33] <PresuntoRJ> fenrir265: you must be aware of what you are doing because you could end up crippling your system beyond repair... any way, you can get any application uninstalled if you know its package name (usually, nut not necessarily, the name of the application)... then a $ sudo apt-get autoremove --purge   will remove the package and autoremove any dependencies installed that do not affect any other program installed, and will clear any config files to get ri
[00:33] <latagore> PresuntoRJ: Does it upgrade to the newest version number? What is your version number?
[00:33] <PresuntoRJ> de of junk that could be left behind
[00:33] <coz_> fenrir265,   did you install these or  were they there when you installed ubuntu?
[00:33] <fenrir265> i installed them

[00:36] <Coronade> I'm just making sure my IRC client works properly.
[00:36] <Coronade> WHich it does.
[00:36] <handjob> What the fuck is this channel?

[00:36] <stunts513> lmao
[00:36] <Coronade> and i need lots of traffick

[00:36] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> Coronade: it works.
[00:36] <Muelli> Coronade: could you please /part this channel then? Thanks.
[00:36] <Coronade> I know.
[00:36] <RickiiBETA> i already tried resetting everything, and its all hooked in good
[00:36] <latagore> PresuntoRJ: My client didn't update then
[00:36] <Coronade> Can I idle here?
[00:36] <bpietro> DasEi, this is on Desktop Lucid, server version the same, zope main package not mentioned
[00:36] <mibber> coz_: i haven't installed anything, i was writing some code, nothing that would really be similar as i can recall
[00:36] <Coronade> i'm not a bot, just a shitty client
[00:36] <Coronade> I'm going to idle here all night.
[00:37] <PresuntoRJ> latagore: no I really mean UPDATE
[00:37] <mibber> coz_: are there error logs or something?

[00:37] <timewriter> as long as i cant do anything just irssi
[00:37] <latagore> PresuntoRJ: Could I ask for your instructions on how to upgrade it or how to view the history on Empathy
[00:37] <coz_> mibber,  mmm  this is puzzling then....  you can check under system administration for log files
[00:37] <stunts513> if the bot says im spamming, does that mean ou guys cant see it?
[00:37] <coz_> mibber,  although ...unless you actually ran the code you were creating ...this makes no sense
[00:38] <sjm> latagore, for apt, there is "update" which updates the list of current packages it knows about, and "upgrade" which actually upgrades the packages.  You have to "update" the list first.
[00:38] <stunts513> not that im doing it on purpose just wondering
[00:38] <RickiiBETA> muellisoft: you there?
[00:38] <DasEi> bpietro: I've some extra repos enabled, this is what I get : http://pastebin.com/hcQnqsHu
[00:38] <mibber> coz_: yes it is weird, i don't know whats going on
[00:38] <PresuntoRJ> latagore: I will try to talk prv with you
[00:38] <coz_> stunts513,   no we see and hear everything :)
[00:38] <latagore> PresuntoRJ: Alright
[00:38] <stunts513> kk just makin sure thanks
[00:38] <coz_> mibber,  is this a new install ?
[00:38] <mibber> coz_: about a month old
[00:39] <snow_ru> mibber,
[00:39] <coz_> mibber,  ok you could create a new user account and see if everything works in that then remove the old account
[00:39] <snow_ru> coz_,
[00:39] <snow_ru> how did you know IRC ?
[00:39] <coz_> snow_ru,   yes?
[00:39] <mibber> coz_: let me try that
[00:39] <sjm> !offtopic | snow_ru
[00:39] <tracy69> does anyone know if it is possible to display whole hdd in conky instead partition where ubuntu is installed ?
[00:40] <ilovefairuz> stunts513: pastebin: xrandr
[00:40] <mibber> coz_: do i just make a new user in teh console, and then run gdm as that user?
[00:40] <snow_ru> !offtopic | sjm
[00:40] <stunts513> ok
[00:40] <coz_> mibber,  yes if you know how to create a user via terminal that should be fine
[00:40] <mibber> coz_: okay
[00:40] <zergling> my account is an admin account but when i tried to change the permissions on a read only file so i can edit it, it says "you are not the owner, so you cannot change these permissions." help me please
[00:41] <snow_ru> zergling, change the owner to you
[00:41] <DasEi> zergling: sudo chmod +x   AFile  doesn't work ?
[00:41] <DasEi> zergling: sudo chmod +w   AFile  doesn't work ?
[00:41] <zergling> snow_ru: how do i do that (im still a newb
[00:41] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> tracy69: a whole disk doesn't immidiately make much sense, maybe you mean all the linux partitions as seen as a whole?
[00:42] <DasEi> tracy69: gparted let's you grafically view whole disk
[00:43] <stunts513> ilovefairuz:http://pastebin.com/YXF3bvcF
[00:43] <Izinucs> zergling: DasEi try .. sudo chown <your user name>:<your user name> Afile .. then after if needed use chmod to +xw Afile
 i have one hdd 500gb other 350gb i want to see them both not swap or some hda5 or sda7 i want to see hdd or sda 500gb used 30gb etc
[00:43] <tracy69> ubuntu is installed on 500gb where i have made partition 50gb for it
[00:43] <tracy69> the partition is called sdb5 thats all i managed to see in conky
[00:44] <DasEi> lzinucs : I know, zergling asked, and to write w is enough
[00:44] <Izinucs> DasEi: k.. didn't catch the previous part of the conversation
[00:44] <stunts513> ilovefairuz:going tell you right now thoes are not the only resolutions it can run, because i have been in 1024x768 in windows for a while, i dont have the driver installed on windows right now cause i recently reformatted, and my wifi card now only seems to work on linux.....not because of missing driver, but because windwos cant seem to comprehend my wifi card with the right driver...
[00:45] <sjm> tracy69, you might try #conky
[00:45] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> tracy69: okay i get your point. hmmm, i'm not very fmailiar with conky, but i could have a look
[00:46] <ilovefairuz> stunts513: pastebin: cvt 1024 768
[00:46] <stunts513> ok
[00:46] <zergling> Izinucs: sudo chown aj:aj +xw Afile didnt work
 ok im waiting :)
[00:46] <stunts513> ilovefairuz: http://pastebin.com/qDkekfZA
[00:47] <tracy69> sjm i tried #conky buy no people over there
[00:47] <flupke> I need to run a command as root at startup, where can I add it ?
[00:47] <DasEi> zergling: Afile you must change to the files name, then sudo chown zergling (or whatever username) AFile && sudo gedit Afile should work
[00:47] <zergling> DasEi: ohhhhh
[00:48] <DasEi> yes yes :)
[00:48] <ilovefairuz> stunts513: : in the monitor section add: Modeline "1024x768_60.00"   63.50  1024 1072 1176 1328  768 771 775 798 -hsync +vsync
[00:48] <ilovefairuz> stunts513: and:       Option    "PreferredMode" "1280x1024_60.00"
[00:48] <DasEi> zergling: but chmod +w will also give write acces, see above
[00:49] <DasEi> zergling: even if you're not the owner, if done as root (sudo)
[00:49] <DasEi> !chmod > zergling
[00:49] <bpietro> DasEi, thanks, but still don't see zope2.11-....-i386.deb package as in pool/directory of official repos. So I think, (a) somebody forgot insert it in index list or (b) there is some reason, why it wasn't be included. Because all guides start with "install Zope: apt-get install zopeX.XX, where X.XX is major and minor release number" When I do so, result is "can't find this package"
[00:49] <DasEi> !chown > zergling
[00:49] <stunts513> ok
[00:50] <stunts513> sorry i had to go in other room , im back
[00:51] <tracy69> stunts513, what for did you go to the other room?
[00:51] <stunts513> ilovefairuz: you sure i can run 1280x1024?
[00:51] <stunts513> o my mom called me
[00:51] <stunts513> thats y i was in other room
[00:51] <zergling> is this the right way to word this?  sudo chown aj:aj  /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
[00:51] <sjm> tracy69, why do you need the whole disk rather than the partitions?  Linux works with the filesystems inside the partitions not the disk (there is no filesystem on the disk, it's inside the partitions)
[00:52] <stunts513> and im not a child... im a computer tech, but more so on windows..
[00:52] <tracy69> sjm cuz i have many partitions so if i wanted to put all of them it will cover whole screen so i wanted to see hdd instead
[00:52] <mibber> how can i create a new user and have it work on ubuntu from terminal? I did useradd, but it says nautilus needs home folders, etc, and this like IECheckfile or something
[00:53] <mibber> a command i can use to generate all the necessary stuff besides useradd?
[00:53] <newfedoranoob> after i install the nvidia driver on my machine in ubuntu 10.04 it gives ne a very crappy resolution
[00:53] <sjm> tracy69, but the filesystem is what is being filled and those reside inside the partitions.  You might see if you can script (in conky or outside) something to sum the different partitions.
[00:54] <ilovefairuz> stunts513: sorry, typo!
[00:54] <newfedoranoob> http://pastebin.com/Nc8Rme1t
[00:54] <newfedoranoob> here is the paste of lspci
[00:54] <DasEi> mibber: sure,  sudo adduser mibber
[00:54] <newfedoranoob> can some1 help me with this
[00:54] <mibber> DasEi: i did that but now when i login as the user it complains that he doesn't have like /home/mibber, /home/mibber/desktop, etc
[00:55] <DasEi> mibber: adduser not useradd
[00:55] <mibber> DasEi: ah okay thanks
[00:55] <sjm> mibber, I can't remember the exact switches to create the home directory, but you can "man useradd"
[00:55] <mibber> -d maybe?
[00:56] <DasEi> newfedoranoob: what's the problem ?
[00:56] <stunts513> olovefairuz: ok im assuming i just need to type:sudo stop gdm, then suudo start gdm, and maybe clik restart x if it pops up a message?
[00:56] <newfedoranoob> bad resolution
[00:56] <newfedoranoob> im on a 42' screen
[00:56] <newfedoranoob> and it only displays to 1/4 of it
[00:57] <sjm> mibber, or "-m"
[00:57] <realubot> Do you think it's possible to adjust overscan at a plasma-TV using xrandr to get the Desktop fit the TV screen?
[00:57] <ilovefairuz> stunts513: add the line but change it to the same resolution
[00:57] <newfedoranoob> DasEi, i installed the recommended driver for nvidia also
[00:57] <stunts513> ok got that done
[00:57] <newfedoranoob> so i have no idea what the problem is
[00:57] <DasEi> newfedoranoob: (please put my Nick when answering) , thats the internal on a lappi you use there ?
[00:58] <newfedoranoob> DasEi, yes but the screen is broken so i use an  ex monitor
[00:58] <newfedoranoob> well a tv
[00:59] <stunts513> ilovefairuz: so i just run those commands now right?
[00:59] <mibber> ah so i created a new user but it didn't work - can someone help me? Basically the desktop loads fine, but when i click any icon, nothing happens, the desktop refreshes -- any log files i can check or anything? maybe something isn't loading correctly on start?
[01:00] <DasEi> newfedoranoob: sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[01:00] <DasEi> newfedoranoob: dpkg -l | grep nvidia | pastebinit                   , give URL from terminal here
[01:00] <sjm> mibber, create the directory manually, change ownership to the user and add the home directory in /etc/passwd.
[01:01] <newfedoranoob> DasEi,  umm im on fedora rite now cause i cant read anything on ubuntu
[01:01] <mibber> sjm: the adduser command worked for that
[01:01] <stunts513> ok uh im going to run that command so il be disconnected from my wifi and such, brb
[01:01] <carandraug> I am having some trouble restoring from a backup I made with rsync. During boot, I get a initramfs shell because it can't find the root device (it's looking for the old HD altough I already changed fstab)
[01:02] <sjm> mibber, ok.  you said above that it "didn't work" .  I'm glad it's fixed now.
[01:02] <ilovefairuz> stunts513: just add those to xorg.conf and restart x
[01:02] <DasEi> newfedoranoob:I see, will problaby be nouveau-firmware that collides there, but would be good to know which nvidia packages are installed, once the obsolete one are removed, run sudo nvidia-xconfig and restart xserver
[01:02] <mibber> sjm: well, the user account was fixed, the desktop still doesn't work though
[01:02] <sjm> mibber, did you log out and back in?
[01:02] <mibber> sjm: yep
[01:02] <newfedoranoob> ok
[01:03] <DasEi> newfedoranoob: you can do this from terminal, too, so don't need x for it
[01:03] <mibber> sjm: its the original problem of why i created a new account, that happens will all accounts, namely i get this error when running 'startx' but i'm not sure if its the problem: 'error setting MTTR (...) inappropriate ioctl for device(25)
[01:03] <newfedoranoob> DasEi, thx i will try when i boot ubuntu
[01:04] <sjm> mibber, so it's no longer a problem with the home directory?
[01:04] <DasEi> newfedoranoob: dpkg -l | grep nvidia shows you the nv-packets, ii means installed on that output
[01:04] <mibber> sjm: errr no
[01:05] <sjm> mibber, sorry, can't help more right now on that.
[01:05] <mibber> sjm: cool thx
[01:05] <DasEi> mibber: more issues ?
[01:06] <stunts5131> ilovefairuz:well that didnt work
[01:06] <wcomnisky> hi!
[01:06] <DasEi> !hi
[01:06] <CkhiKuzad> hello!
[01:07] <mibber> DasEi: the original issue mainly -- desktop loads fine but when i double click programs it just refreshes and doesn't run anything, i ran console and did sudo service gdm stop, then 'startx', and this desktop doesn't work either, when i switch back to console i only have 1 error, namely 'error setting MTRR (base = 0xd00000000 ... ) Inappropriate oictl for device (25)
[01:07] <wcomnisky> how can i secure clean my /var/log dir?
[01:07] <mibber> *ioctl
[01:08] <wcomnisky> i'm creating a continuous integration server, and i would share the iso without this logs
[01:08] <DasEi> mibber: approbiate cmd to restart x is sudo service gdm restart; the error you get there I can't predict once, pastebin your syslog : sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[01:09] <DasEi> mibber: pastebinit /var/log/syslog
[01:09] <mibber> DasEi: okay
[01:09] <Antonis> Hello folks. How can I make the panel in ubuntu 10.04 netbook transparent? I have tried tweaking to theme's config folder but that only worked on ubuntu desktop edition (tried on my notebook). in netbook edition it doesn't
[01:09] <DasEi> !ccsm | Antonis
[01:09] <aeon-ltd> Antonis: usually transparency doesnt work without compiz
[01:10] <aeon-ltd> DasEi: damn you beat me
[01:10] <DasEi> :)
[01:10] <ilovefairuz> student7: pastebin the log and the conf
[01:10] <Antonis> will compiz be too heavy on a netbook?
[01:10] <DasEi> Antonis: by the way, compiz is very ressource hungry, I wouldn't do that on a nettbook
[01:10] <aeon-ltd> Antonis: what kind of netbook?
[01:11] <Antonis> I have an HP mini 210
[01:11] <DasEi> Antonis: you beat me.. hehe
[01:11] <aeon-ltd> Antonis: intel integrated gpu?
[01:11] <Antonis> not sure :p
[01:11] <stunts5131> ilovefairuz: hey it didnt work, i restarted gdm and still same old same old
[01:11] <Antonis> I have been running ubuntu desktop on it though
[01:11] <Antonis> :p
[01:12] <ilovefairuz> stunts5131: pastebin
[01:12] <aeon-ltd> Antonis: we'll have to assume the bare minimum i'd vote against it due to it criplling battery life
[01:12] <DasEi> mibber: give url of last cmd here
[01:12] <stunts5131> ilovefairuz:lemme guess u want the log file?
[01:12] <ilovefairuz> stunts5131: and the conf
[01:12] <stunts5131> ah ok
[01:12] <aeon-ltd> Antonis: not sure its good to use with metacity, but i think tint2 has pseudo-tranparency for a panel
[01:12] <Antonis> but isn't there a way to add transparency without compiz? the interface of it (where all icons are9 is transparent..
[01:13] <DasEi> mibber: pastebinit /var/log/syslog                <<will show a url in terminal, bring this here
[01:13] <DasEi> !pm | mibber
[01:13] <mibber> http://pastebin.com/E14xuVCi
[01:13] <Antonis> is tint2 a theme?
[01:13] <mickeyy> hi
[01:13] <soreau> AntiSpamMeta: What is the output of 'ps ax|grep compiz|grep -v grep' from your terminal?
[01:14] <soreau> Antonis: ^^
[01:14] <aeon-ltd> Antonis: no its a completely different panel
[01:14] <Antonis> ah :P

[01:14] <aeon-ltd> Antonis: metacity does have its own compositiing manager though i'm unsure whether its powerful and lightwieght enough
[01:15] <stunts5131> odd why did that go into two messages
[01:15] <mibber> DasEi: should i do the do the restart then do it agian?
[01:16] <aeon-ltd> Antonis: supposedly it works http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1197529
[01:16] <mibber> DasEi: i.e. sudo service gdm stop  // start and then repost syslog?
[01:16] <Antonis> thank you very much!
[01:16] <aeon-ltd> Antonis: your welcome, i hope it works :)
[01:17] <DasEi> mibber: no, but restart, then do : dmesg | tail | pastebinit, look like your pulseaudio-server is doing some wird stuff there
[01:17] <ilovefairuz> stunts5131: Xorg didn't start at all?
[01:17] <DasEi> s*
[01:17] <stunts5131> ilovefairuz: uh from what i can tell it did
[01:17] <mibber> DasEi: restart computer or gdm
[01:17] <DasEi> mibber: gdm
[01:17] <mibber> k

[01:21] <DasEi> mibber: there was a bug in jaunty, that prodiced such a lock, but haven't seen it in lucid since
[01:21] <mibber> DasEi: here is dmesg output http://pastebin.com/iiiXf2mW

[01:25] <etrask> Hello, I recently changed my Ubuntu 10.04 login password, but somethings (like Empathy) still make me put in my old password to "unlock" my personal details. How can I change this?
[01:25] <ross_> how do you change the screen resolution?
[01:26] <PresuntoRJ> ross_: system/preferences menu
[01:26] <Antonis> thanks DasEi and WinstonSmith
[01:26] <Fr3d0> well i've been using amarok for a while and i'am having annoying issue
[01:26] <PresuntoRJ> ross_: there is a video resolution applete
[01:26] <PresuntoRJ> ross_: unless you are using nvidia, then you need to use the nvidia applet
[01:26] <Fr3d0> it's seem every time i boot my machine doesn't have any sound
[01:27] <docid> hey guys, got an oddity, was playing with a hotspot controler on ubuntu server 9.10... after a reboot all my network interfaces save for a virtual bridge and lo are gone... lshw sees them and lists them as UNCLAIMED, dmesg has nothing relating to them, although tcpip does come up.... any ideas?
[01:27] <wcomnisky> who can help me? i need to clean the /var/log folder before sharing my continuous integration server in an ISO
[01:27] <ross_> presuntorj: how do i check if i'm using nvidia?
[01:27] <Fr3d0> but when i erase one file in .pulse wich is called .pulse/89d6ae6ee9e76d1cdd7a8e0e4c0707d5-runtime
[01:28] <docid> lsmod |grep -i nvid should do it
[01:28] <Fr3d0> the sound goes back
[01:28] <docid> roscogruen,
[01:28] <docid> opps, wrong nick
[01:28] <etrask> Hello, I recently changed my Ubuntu 10.04 login password, but some things (like Empathy) still make me put in my old password to "unlock" my personal details. How can I change this?
[01:28] <PresuntoRJ> ross_: well, it is the brand of the videocard, but if you are not sure, $ lspci should list many hardware including your video card
[01:28] <DasEi> mibber: is there any floppy in the drive ? remove it; apart from that , you should for a test remve pulse audio, to see if that causes the lock, and also have alook at group permissions, if the lockup just happens to your new user
[01:29] <PresuntoRJ> ross_: if its nvidia, it will say there
[01:29] <DasEi> lspci | grep -i vga,  PresuntoRJ: ross_:
[01:29] <PresuntoRJ> ross_: you can also try looking for a nvidia green icon on the system/preferences menu... if its not there, its a big clue
[01:29] <Fr3d0> in fact i'm using amarok 3.2
[01:30] <PresuntoRJ> DasEi: thanx
[01:30] <mibber> DasEi: no floppy drives, i had a user that was fine, but one day it just locked desktop for this user (can't run programs) -- what do i do to pulse audio? remove it? how?
[01:30] <DasEi> PresuntoRJ: hwinfo gives even more details
[01:30] <PresuntoRJ> ross_: it may even be nvidia but not have the propetary drivers and controls installed...
[01:30] <amaury_> hola
[01:30] <PresuntoRJ> DasEi: he was trying to determine only the manufacturer of the video card... ;)
[01:31] <DasEi> ah, ok
[01:31] <DasEi> mibber: sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio
[01:31] <Fr3d0> sorry i meant amarok 2.3.1 and kde 4.4.2
[01:31] <PresuntoRJ> DasEi: and hwinfo is not installed by default on new systems, so users might need to be able to use lspci before trying other software
[01:32] <nitwit> just built new pc but can't get ubuntu to install. it hangs at the boot logo. very simple hardware setup - just mb (h55) cpu (i3) and sata hd connected by hdmi to lcd tv. can anyone suggest why it wont boot? tested ubuntu flash drive on other hardware and it works fine,
[01:32] <PresuntoRJ> ross_: any news?
[01:32] <DasEi> nitwit: tried to boot a live cd ?
[01:33] <mibber> DasEi: under 'the following packages will be removed', one of them is 'ubuntu-desktop' -- isn't this a problem?
[01:33] <nitwit> DasEi: no cd drive just usb stick
[01:33] <DasEi> mibber: does this happen to all apps you start ;;  yes, don't remove then
[01:33] <weblordpepeq> woah holy crap

[01:36] <PresuntoRJ> snow_ru: good to know
[01:36] <DasEi> mibber: then let's have an example-app: sudo apt-get install vlc, if not installed yet
[01:37] <Fr3d0> hello i have my desktop with xubuntu and i've installed amarok but i'am having this annoying issue whenever i boot the sound does not work and the only way to make it back is erasing .pulse/89d6ae6ee9e76d1cdd7a8e0e4c0707d5-runtime after that the sound goes back i'm using amarok 2.3.1
[01:37] <PresuntoRJ> DasEi: sudo apt-cache policy vlc should help determine that
[01:37] <mibber> DasEi: okay i'm installing vlc,what is an example -app
[01:37] <weblordpepeq> sound in linux is a mess
[01:37] <weblordpepeq> ;(
[01:38] <DasEi> mibber: a program we try to start , so we can examine
[01:38] <PresuntoRJ> weblordpepeq: it is getting better... what is wrong with your system sound?
[01:38] <latagore> PresuntoRJ: To be honest xD I can't see the difference
[01:38] <mibber> DasEi: okay
[01:38] <PresuntoRJ> there are little ones
[01:38] <DasEi> mibber: try to launch it, first by gui : > multimedia > vlc
[01:38] <mibber> DasEi: oh vlc media player gotcha
[01:38] <PresuntoRJ> latagore:  is there an icon onthe system notification ares
[01:39] <PresuntoRJ> latagore: mine looks like a green cartoon balloon
[01:39] <DasEi> mibber: should start by single-click from the menu
[01:39] <latagore> PresuntoRJ: Yep, I'm getting a friend to message me
[01:40] <latagore> PresuntoRJ: Can you send me a PM
[01:40] <mibber> DasEi: it worked! it ran
[01:40] <mibber> DasEi: but everything else doesn't work
[01:40] <DasEi> mibber: like which programm ?
[01:41] <mibber> DasEi: it ran vlc media player
[01:41] <DasEi> mibber: which did not ?
[01:41] <mibber> DasEi: but, for instance, right above that 'movie player' failed
[01:41] <mibber> DasEi: calculator fails
[01:42] <DasEi> mibber : in terminal : gnome-mplayer
[01:42] <DasEi> !paste
[01:42] <mibber> DasEi: in the console?
[01:42] <DasEi> mibber : yes, terminal = console = trml
[01:43] <mibber> DasEi: i don't have it installed
[01:43] <mibber> DasEi: for instance,i use 'gedit'
[01:43] <Agu10> hi
[01:44] <Agu10> do you know of any cool exciting music under creative commons?
[01:44] <DasEi> mibber: so gedit, first GUI, then trml
[01:44] <Agu10> it's to use on a youtube video
[01:45] <bpietro> DasEi, just posted question on launchpad, thanks for help, nite
[01:45] <DasEi> bpietro: you found the develop-seection on it, nice
[01:46] <mibber> DasEi: didnt' work in GUI, in terminal  i just get a message 'gedit:3815: Gtk-WARNING *** cannot open display'
[01:46] <mibber> DasEi: emacs23 worked in GUI
[01:46] <mibber> DasEi: and it also works in terminal
[01:46] <Viking667> How do I stop Nautilus from starting up?
[01:47] <DasEi> mibber: so still a problem with x, sudo service gdm restart ,  to get the pulse out
[01:47] <MrJones> how can I change the system locale (no X/GUI) permanently?
[01:47] <Viking667> Every time I try to kill it off, it pops up again.
[01:47] <MrJones> in which file is that setting stored/which command line cmd can permanently change it for me?
[01:47] <DasEi> MrJones: system > admin.. > statupcsreen
[01:47] <Fr3d0> .pulse/89d6ae6ee9e76d1cdd7a8e0e4c0707d5-runtime when erasing this file in .pulse the sound goes back in my sistem amarok 2.3.1 kde 4.4.2 kernel  2.6.32-24-generic
[01:47] <MrJones> DasEi: as I said, no X/GUI.
[01:48] <SCD[Eire]> Offtopic: Anyone know what channel I can go to for GFX help?
[01:48] <mibber> DasEi: yeah i restarted it again, no gedit. Emacs works though still in GUI.
[01:48] <Fr3d0> i need help i'm bored of doing this every time i boot my system
[01:48] <nitwit> Hello, I have just built a new Media PC but can't get Ubuntu to live boot from USB flash drive. It hangs at the boot logo. It's a very simple hardware setup, just a motherboard (Intel H55 Chipset) CPU (Intel i3) and one SATA Hard Disk connected by HDMI to an LCD TV. Can anyone suggest why it will not boot? Tested the Ubuntu flash drive on other (older, more complex) hardware and it works fine. Only one messege on the console, confirning
[01:49] <DasEi> mibber: console based ( emacs) , which g-card do you use ?
[01:49] <DasEi> lspci | grep -i vga
[01:49] <Viking667> hm. Nope... gotta go. Bye
[01:50] <mibber> 00:0f.0 VGA compatible controller: VMware SVGA II Adapter
[01:50] <MaRk-I> nitwit: might be this http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2010/05/06/ubuntu-10-04-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup-workaround/
[01:50] <DasEi> mibber: so a ubuntu-vm
[01:51] <mibber> DasEi: yeah running in vmware
[01:51] <DasEi> mibber: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:51] <mibber> DasEi: do i need to back stuff up before running that?
[01:51] <DasEi> no
[01:52] <nitwit> MaRk-I: Thank you, will try that now...
[01:52] <DasEi> mibber: sudo service gdm restart
[01:52] <kremlon> what happened to the #linux channel?
[01:52] <DasEi> kremlon: still there
[01:53] <kremlon> it says ##linux-overflow
[01:53] <DasEi> kremlon: ##linux
[01:53] <kremlon> when you join
[01:53] <trimeta> I just did /join #linux and nothing weird there...
[01:53] <mibber> DasEi: yeah done, didn't change anything
[01:53] <stunts5131> hey what do i type to get it to just post pastebin of the terminal
[01:53] <DasEi> kremlon: registered ?
[01:53] <MrJones> how can I set the system locale on command line permanently to something else (for all users)?
[01:53] <kremlon> no
[01:54] <hiexpo> omg
[01:54] <metaphlex> i was used to having the restricted drivers thing automatically install the correct video card, but it's not detecting anything
[01:54] <trimeta> stunts5131: You mean, you've got some text you want to pastebin?
[01:54] <ross_> presuntorj: it is nvidia
[01:54] <DasEi> stunts5131: you can pipe to pastebinit, like lspci | pastebinit
[01:54] <DasEi> !register > kremlon
[01:54] <stunts5131> uh lets ust say the typical commadn i use makes it say that theres nothing to paste
[01:54] <PresuntoRJ> ross_: do you see the nvidia icon on the system/preferences menu ?
[01:55] <kremlon> thanks
[01:55] <ross_> presuntorj: er no
[01:55] <metaphlex> i was running linux mint and got the card working, but now on a crunchbang linux install, the restricted drivers app is showing anything
[01:55] <MrJones> anyone? :x
[01:55] <stunts5131> thats what i did
[01:55] <trimeta> stunts5131: Can you be more specific about what you're trying to do? Do you want to have the output of a specific command sent to a pastebin? Try piping it to wgetpaste.
[01:55] <DasEi> mibber: so idk what is then, and running out of time, maybe just reinstall the whole desktop package and let it run ?
[01:55] <MrJones> I really have no idea where those settings are stored. somewhere in /etc/ I suppose >.>
[01:56] <trimeta> stunts5131: Maybe do a simple test, then? "echo test | wgetpaste"?
[01:56] <mibber> DasEi: just resintall ubuntu-desktop?
[01:56] <stunts5131> woa im algging
[01:56] <PyjamaSpank> Docky question, how can I change an icon? I use Conky and it shows up as just a bog standard no-icon icon. A bit ugly.
[01:56] <DasEi> mibber: and let's also bring pulse-x back, as nothing went better
[01:56] <ross_> presuntorj: ok i found it but this is
[01:56] <mibber> DasEi: thanks for your help, i will backup my files, then would u suggest resintalling everything from scratch? or how can i just reinstall problematic desktop stuff?
[01:56] <DasEi> mibber: is a shot in the dark, else you might look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log and messages in same dir, I'm gtg soon
[01:56] <noob_1> Is it possible to keep a wireless connection connected while a laptop is suspended?
[01:57] <trimeta> MrJones: Hold on, let me check the Gentoo wiki, they tell you how to do things like that on the command line...
[01:57] <dougb_freebsd> noob_1: no
[01:57] <DasEi> mibber: no, no backup or new install, just the whole desktop package
[01:57] <PresuntoRJ> ross_: ?
[01:57] <ross_> presuntorj: ok nevermind
[01:57] <ross_> presuntorj: er
[01:57] <MrJones> trimeta: are you being serious? lol
[01:57] <PresuntoRJ> ross_: ok
[01:57] <MrJones> well if that helps :D
[01:57] <ross_> presuntorj: how do i install the graphic card's driver
[01:57] <noob_1> ok, thank you
[01:57] <latagore> PresuntoRJ: I have a problem logging in ubuntu on my laptop
[01:57] <mibber> DasEi: so just sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop?
[01:57] <stunts5131> what just happened, i started lagging and the next thing i know my terminal says display all 2245 possibilities? (y or n)
[01:58] <stunts5131> and there wasnt a command even in the line
[01:58] <DasEi> mibber: sudo apt-get install pulseaudio-module-x11 && sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
[01:58] <Guest15983> have a question about chmod 700
[01:58] <PresuntoRJ> latagore: what happenend there?
[01:58] <trimeta> MrJones: To be fair, I'm generally a Gentoo person, but this is the sort of thing they're good at.
[01:58] <latagore> PresuntoRJ: The computer freezes at logon
[01:58] <stunts5131> hopeim not being hacked via ssh...
[01:58] <DasEi> mibber: and do a reboot if the update/grade installed a new kernel, myy vm's are fine here
[01:58] <MrJones> trimeta: well I thought you might be just joking that I want to do something not using X since that's something only freaky Gentoo persons do. :P
[01:58] <Guest15983> chmod 700 does not work even with sudo any ideas
[01:58] <mibber> DasEi: okay - that resinstalls everything right? but leaves files or which
[01:58] <PresuntoRJ> latagore:  before or after you enter your name and password?
[01:58] <HeTaL> latagore: Is your partition full?
[01:59] <latagore> PresuntoRJ: At the user selection
[01:59] <DasEi> mibber : yes, no need to worry about userdata
[01:59] <mibber> DasEi: okay cool thanks
[01:59] <latagore> HeTaL: It is not, as far as I know
[01:59] <mibber> DasEi: hopefully this fixes it! Thanks a lot!
[01:59] <jazzz> hello
[01:59] <DasEi> mibber: sry for my time running out, good luck !
[01:59] <trimeta> MrJones: OK, on a Gentoo system the global locale is stored in /etc/env.d/02locale. See if you have something like that.
[02:00] <jazzz> i just instal lucid and it's very long when i start the computer. i can't find why. can somebody help me?
[02:00] <MrJones> trimeta: no, there's only /etc/environment
[02:00] <skumara> there is a beep sound when i press shutdown. how to remove this sound?
[02:00] <MrJones> trimeta: and that one just contains the PATH var
[02:00] <trimeta> Hmm...I have a Ubuntu server here, let me see if I can find where it's located in this distro...
[02:01] <jazzz> i just instal lucid and it's very long when i start the computer. i can't find why. can somebody help me?
[02:01] <stunts5131> if someone is sshing me how do i disconnect them
[02:01] <red2kic> stunts5131: Don'
[02:01] <skumara> jazzz, first boot is very long.
[02:01] <red2kic> stunts5131: Don't give them permissions in first place? :(
[02:01] <trimeta> MrJones: Try /etc/default/locale
[02:02] <PyjamaSpank> #gnome-do
[02:02] <MrJones> trimeta: that one is already set to English >.> lol
[02:02] <MrJones> (the system definitely spits out everything in GErman)
[02:02] <red2kic> stunts5131: Run 'w' in the terminal to see if somebody is sshed in.
[02:02] <trimeta> MrJones: You sure that you don't have a local setting overriding the default?
[02:02] <red2kic> stunts5131: And you could stop ssh service (at least).
[02:02] <hiexpo> i see pidgin is having a problem with twitter
[02:02] <MrJones> trimeta: I might have, sure
[02:02] <MrJones> where would I find that?
[02:03] <kremlon> stunts5131: you should check your /var/auth.logs
 yes, every boot and i don't know why....
[02:03] <bpietro> Jazzz: very long is a little bit vague, can you be a little specific, pls? An on which box it's slow? CPU type & speed, RAM qty ...
[02:03] <zephr> tried to run command sudo chmod 700 /home/***/filename and cannot get it to work any ideas running latest ubuntu

[02:05] <o-brown> Could some one help me with my error message problem please ?
[02:05] <MrJones> trimeta: well, when using sudo yes. but that might be an intended functionality of sudo (passing on locale/env vars), don't know
[02:06] <zephr> tried to run command sudo chmod 700 /home/***/filename and cannot get it to work any ideas running latest ubuntu
[02:06] <trimeta> MrJones: And "locale -a" give you all the German stuff?

[02:07] <Guest74431> what is the effect of "man -d" ?
[02:08] <trimeta> MrJones: I don't know, I'm stumped.
[02:08] <dougb_freebsd> Guest74431: man man
[02:08] <o-brown> Need help with an installation problem please
[02:08] <zephr> all i want to do is make file executable
[02:08] <n0a1ias> " my suggestion to ubuntu natty narwhal is making ipv6 enabled by default and putting as much services on it as possible", UndiFined
[02:08] <jazzz> it looks like aving a problem with the battery because of a message of allimentation program, or with usb with the dmesg, but i don't know what to do, can you help find a solution?
[02:08] <MrJones> trimeta: ok, thanks for the research anyway xP
[02:08] <undifined> lol n0a1ias
[02:09] <Guest74431> dougb_freebsd, whew thanks

[02:10] <latagore> I can't get past the logon screen in Ubuntu, the computer just freezes
[02:10] <bpietro> jazzz: today's HW, I suppose, not some retrocomp stuff :) so wait another 5 minutes, then Ctrl+Alt+Del for reboot. If prb persists, something went wrong with installation
[02:11] <jazzz25> i think it's something else because of the dmesg
[02:11] <zephr> also using sudo in terminal still wont make executable
[02:11] <jazzz25> do you want to see?
[02:11] <jazzz25> and the problem is with every boot
[02:12] <jazzz25> and i reinstall ubuntu because the problem soudently appears with my last version of ubuntu

[02:19] <bpietro> jazzz25: de nada :)
[02:20] <tadcrazio> Hey guys, i was wondering if anyone knows of a desktop scheduler that i could manage my classes and work and what not without having to open a program just having it sit on my desktop
[02:20] <dan86> Hey, what does everyone in the community use for a compression tool?  (With a GUI)
[02:20] <mrpink57> tadcrazio: im sure there is a calendar widget
[02:20] <o-brown> it says the following: openbravo-erp: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
[02:20] <dan86> I like being able to drag and drop files to add/subtract from archives
[02:20] <Wasser> Hi, i changed my fstab to automount a partition in my main hard drive in ~/Music. It works fine, but it always shows the icon of the harddrive in the desktop. Is it possible to remove that icon?
[02:21] <bpietro> o-brown: don't ask pernission to ask, pls, what's problem
[02:21] <dan86> wasser i'd like to know the answer to that question as well
[02:21] <tadcrazio> thanks mrpink
[02:21] <o-brown> bpietro: the problem is this ---> openbravo-erp: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
[02:22] <[sleepy]> sup
[02:22] <zephr> bpietro that still did not work
[02:23] <dan86> what compression software with GUI do you guys use?
[02:23] <zephr> thats all i know to use

[02:23] <jazzz25> ok?
[02:24] <ritlee> I have a script being called from "root's" crontab to run every 5 minutes, it runs for a while but then stops running for no apparent reason.  I'm hoping some one might be able to shed some light on how to keep it running
[02:24] <spivous> brobinson: i tried alsamixer and still have same issue volume looks like it is adjusting but is only on or off
[02:25] <dougb_freebsd> ritlee: does it take more than 5 minutes to run?
[02:26] <mibber> ritlee: which language?
[02:26] <ritlee> dougb_freebsd, shouldn't it just checks a directory for .avi's and moves them to where they should go, also it appears to stop running from crontab when it finds a file... but runs perfectly when executed from cl
[02:26] <ritlee> mibber, bash
[02:27] <ritlee> mibber, language correctly defined on the first line
[02:27] <mibber> ritlee: have your code write to a file at the top of it? maybe there are errors? output stdout / stderr to a file as well
[02:27] <bpietro> zephr: what don't work, you can't change exec bit on file or file isn't run either? how you try to run it? is it file's directory in your PATH?
[02:27] <brobinson_> spivous: oh sorry Ubuntu is now on pulse audio, what I do is kill it http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/tutorials/7130/1/

[02:29] <bpietro> jazzz25: yes, I saw it, loop of testing some (probably unknown or defect) device. But it's on USB bus. is there some USB stuff connected?
[02:30] <ilovefairuz> stunts513: yes
 he was deported
[02:30] <stunts513> ilovefairuz: hey i got the screen pretty far, but when it tries to get into the resilution i want it says crtc0 error
[02:30] <tracy69> :)
[02:30] <ilovefairuz> stunts513: what's the exact error string
[02:31] <Coronade> hey I have a question, when I installed ubuntu on my old ass laptop it says not-an-authentic copy of Ubuntu?? wth
[02:31] <stunts513> uh i gotta open terminal gimme a sec, some weird command got run and it maed computer lag up so bad i had to reboot
[02:31] <bpietro> Coronade, LOL
[02:31] <hiexpo> Coronade, did u md5sum it /
[02:31] <hart> ugh can someone give me a list of what i should download to make ubuntu 10.04 better?
[02:31] <IdleOne> Coronade: watch your language and I don't know where you got your copy of Ubuntu but that is not official
[02:31] <Izinucs> Coronade: really?  <sarcasim>
[02:32] <IdleOne> hart: there are tons of Top 10 things to do after you install ubuntu blogs
[02:32] <stunts513> ilovefairuz: crap i dont know what happened but its not letting me use that resolution agian..... lemme screw with it
[02:32] <Wasser> Hi, i changed my fstab to automount a partition in my main hard drive in ~/Music. It works fine, but it always shows the icon of the harddrive in the desktop. Is it possible to remove that icon?
[02:32] <hart> ahh ty ^.^
[02:32] <mibber> ritlee: i mean do something like this at the top of your script:  date > /tmp/my_task_runtime.txt at the top of your file, so you know that it at least got into your script. Then, in the cron, do this    * * * * * myscript.sh &> /tmp/some_output.txt
[02:32] <hart> that helps
[02:32] <thetimes> well how do I get an authentic copy??
[02:32] <stunts513> ok now it says it can idk
[02:32] <stunts513> here we go
[02:32] <Coronade> well how do i get an authentic copy??
[02:33] <hiexpo> ubuntu.com
[02:33] <Coronade> okie...
[02:33] <ritlee> hmmm good idea
[02:33] <mibber> ritlee: then you check if the files exist, u know ur program ran
[02:33] <stunts513> xrandr --output default --mode "1024x768_60.00"
[02:33] <stunts513> xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed
[02:33] <mibber> ritlee: then u know its not cron
[02:33] <hanasaki> I set appearance / Extra and it works fine.. however when I logout/logback in it is back to Standard... how do you get it to stay on extra between logout/login?
[02:33] <stunts513> ilovefairuz: xrandr --output default --mode "1024x768_60.00"
[02:33] <stunts513> ilovefairuz: xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed
[02:34] <ritlee> mibber, ok i see what your saying, i have something simular, but it's actually at the END of the script
[02:34] <mibber> ritlee: yep better to place at start before any script logic
[02:34] <ritlee> mibber, good idea ;)
[02:36] <Coronade> so... about this non-authentic copy..
[02:36] <Coronade> did it have a rootkit in it or something?
[02:36] <red2kic> Coronade and thetimes is the same person living in pretty awful small population. Clearly he have no life. :(
[02:36] <Coronade> I know you can't really know for sure, but how does that happen?
[02:37] <thetimes> how often do hackers put a rootkit in a ubuntu image?
[02:37] <stunts513> there are rootkits for linux?
 75/day
[02:37] <thetimes> I don't know, but I would imagine..
[02:37] <stunts513> i thought linux was supposed to be almost completely virus preoof
[02:37] <thetimes> uhh..
[02:37] <thetimes> no.
[02:37] <IdleOne> Coronade: thetimes Please pick a client and stick with it. no need to ask the same question on separate nicks
[02:38] <Izinucs> stunts513: yes but you typically have to accept its install
 and it is
[02:38] <jason235> im haveing trouble with Flash Plugin crashing in firefox
[02:38] <o-brown> I have this problem ---> openbravo-erp: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1, can someone help me ?
[02:38] <thetimes> okay, i'll ask elsewhere.
[02:38] <millertimek1a2m3> does anyone know why my wireless keeps automatically deauthenticating? is anyone good at wireless here?
[02:38] <millertimek1a2m3>  I need some help
[02:38] <stunts513> sounds like what happens to me on windows....
[02:38] <chris_osx> you need a better wlan cable
[02:38] <jason235> do u have wep password protect ur wireless router millertimek1a2m3
[02:39] <dublisk> should /lib be on my LD_LIBRARY_PATH ? I am trying to compile something and the configure script complains about the readline library. I have a readline.so.6 in /lib
[02:39] <stunts513> ilovefairuz: u get those messages with tthe commands i sent? just wondering im multitasking and i suck at it
[02:39] <rjt> "ip link set eth1 up dynamic on"  throws  'either "dev" is duplicate or "dynamic" is garbage.'
[02:40] <ilovefairuz> stunts513: yes, looking it up
[02:40] <rjt>  i noticed that on Fedora13, dhclient runs much much much more quickly after running "ip link set eth1 up dynamic on" and this LiveCD ipconfig dhcp client times out too quickly.
[02:41] <rjt> BusyBox v1.15.3 (ubuntu1.15.3-1ubuntu4)
[02:42] <Izinucs> rjt: is this in the live cd or server? or an install?
[02:42] <rjt> LiveCD
[02:42] <latagore> Hi, I'd just like to know how to modify GRUB so it doesn't auto pick an OS
[02:43] <Izinucs> rjt: could be networkmanager interfearing with your manual attempt

[02:43] <stunts513> you don't want to fix it manually i dont suppose?
[02:43] <Dr_Willis> latagore:  you want it to never auto-start a selection. you want it to wait forever for you to hit enter?
[02:43] <rjt> NetworkManager is not even on the CD at this point.  live-initramfs calls ipconfig which does a dhcp that times out.
[02:43] <uRock> ilovefairuz, You were right in the advice earlier. When changing from 64bit to 32bit without changing the /home there were no problems.
[02:44] <Izinucs> !grub2 | latagore Look for the "timing" line
[02:44] <mmnicolas> does anyone have any experience with live-helper and upstart, im trying to set up root auto-login but /etc/init/tty1.conf gets rewritten by some other scripts, during boot its says these scripts are loaded from /scripts but no such irectory exists
[02:44] <latagore> Dr_Willis: considering GRUB autostarts an OS that doesn't work properly at the moment, yes
[02:45] <Dr_Willis> latagore:  edit the proper entry in /etc/default/grub  to set the timeout. I think -1 waits for4ever.
[02:45] <Wasser> Hi, i changed my fstab to automount a partition in my main hard drive in ~/Music. It works fine, but it always shows the icon of the harddrive in the desktop. Is it possible to remove that icon?
[02:45] <o-brown> I have this problem ---> openbravo-erp: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1, can someone help me ?
[02:45] <latagore> lzinucs: I'm not running grub2
[02:45] <latagore> Dr_Willis: Thanks a bunch
[02:45] <Dr_Willis> mmnicolas:  ive made a /etc/init/ script taht started a bash terminal as root on a cons0ole at boot time. - if thats what you are trying to do.
[02:46] <Dr_Willis> latagore:  if not using grub2. then you will need to edit the /boot/grub/grub.cfg i belive.
[02:46] <Izinucs> latagore: then /etc/default/grub is the wrong place.. /etc/boot/grub I seem to remember is close
[02:46] <mmnicolas> Dr_Willis: this will probably get overridden by the live scripts too
[02:46] <Izinucs> latagore: actually Dr_Willis has it right :)
[02:46] <sfears> grub2 uses /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[02:46] <Quantum_Ion> man I hate grub2
[02:46] <Dr_Willis> mmnicolas:  mine dosent.. becasue its not called /etc/init/ttyS1.conf its called /etc/init/SOMTHINGELSE :)
[02:46] <Izinucs> sfears: except that gets overwritten automatically
[02:46] <millertimek1a2m3> jason235 I'm having issues maintaining a connection with an Atheros 928X wireless card
[02:47] <latagore> lzinucs: Thanks :]
[02:47] <Quantum_Ion> I look at grub2 and I don't even want to touch it
[02:47] <latagore> Dr_Willis: Thanks to you too :]
[02:47]  * sfears also gets confused by grub2
[02:47] <mmnicolas> Dr_Willis: do you use it in a live environment ?
[02:47] <mmnicolas> but mine needs to show up on tty1
[02:47]  * l03a_JR is away, auto-away after 15 minutes, (log\off pager\on)
[02:47] <Dr_Willis> mmnicolas:  It uses the openvt command thats not installed by default. You can force it to start on tty1 if you w2anted to.
[02:48] <mmnicolas> Dr_Willis: but then it will also start the other tty1.conf
[02:48] <realcoolguy> Grub2 problems may grow more prevelant in dual boot environments as a lot of windows programs are now modifying bytes outside of partitioned space.  So it is a good idea to know how it works.
[02:48] <Dr_Willis> mmnicolas:  here it is for you to look at.
[02:48] <Dr_Willis> /etc/init$ pastebinit  sulogin.conf
[02:48] <Dr_Willis> http://pastebin.com/8iXKSyQi
[02:48] <mmnicolas> thanks
[02:49] <Dr_Willis> Grub2 has a lot of VERY handy features.
[02:49] <sfears> modifying bytes outside of partitioned space??
[02:49] <Izinucs> Dr_Willis: glad to see you in tonight.. any solutions for when you ssh -X into an ubuntu/kubuntu box and issue "echo $DISPLAY" with a blank line as a result?
[02:49] <Dr_Willis> Lets see over the years ive learned Grub, LILO, Syslinux, and Grub2  :)
[02:49] <songoku> aaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[02:49] <Dr_Willis> Izinucs:  x forwarding on the server may be disabled
[02:49] <latagore> Hm, well I guess this is the appropriate time to ask about Ubuntu; I can't get Ubuntu to work at the login screen, it freezes
[02:50] <Izinucs> Dr_Willis: nope.. set in both ssh_config and sshd_config
[02:50] <Dr_Willis> Izinucs:  or the ssh agent/tool isent running when you connect. i recall thats what sets that variable
[02:50] <realcoolguy> latagore: any recent changes? has it worked before and now it doesn't?  Also have you ruled out hardwares issues (checking the Ram can be a good idea, memtest86)
[02:50] <sfears> latagore: xorg config problems perhaps?
[02:51] <Izinucs> Dr_Willis: how do you mean, agent/tool?
[02:51] <Dr_Willis> latagore:  can you ssh in, does alt-ctrl-f1 throuigh f5 work?
[02:51] <Dr_Willis> Izinucs:  when you ssh in, theres some ssh-SOMTHING that runs and sets those variables
[02:51] <songoku> How do who know what it is mean of this line: pkgdatadir = $(datadir)/@PACKAGE@
[02:51] <Dr_Willis> Izinucs:  from what i recall reading in a big book-on-ssh ages ago
[02:51] <latagore> realcoolguy: I just installed it on my computer, but I can test the memory
[02:51] <Izinucs> Dr_Willis: hummmm
[02:51] <Dr_Willis> !ssh
[02:51] <latagore> Dr_Willis: It freezes those screens too
[02:52] <Dr_Willis> latagore:  it freezes on the consoles also but you can switch back/forth to them?
[02:52] <Alexander_> Wireless internet appears to be connected (showing bars). Wired internet functions normally. Wireless does not load web pages.
[02:52] <latagore> Dr_Willis: Uh, I can switch between consoles for a couple seconds before the login screen pops up
[02:52] <Izinucs> Dr_Willis: even when logging in locally with "ssh localhost" it gives the same result.
[02:52] <Alexander_> Seeking advice
[02:53] <realcoolguy> latagore: hmmm well I always like to test it on the live cd too.  If I can get in and everything works there, it's usually something I did to the system.
[02:53] <latagore> Dr_Willis: a couple seconds later, the SSH freezes as well
[02:53] <Dr_Willis> latagore:  so you go to the console... then GDM 'pops back up' eh.. thats odd.. ssh freezing? thats VERY odd.
[02:53] <latagore> Talking to two people at the same time is rather difficult =o
[02:54] <songoku> How do who know what it is mean of this line: pkgdatadir = $(datadir)/@PACKAGE@
[02:54] <Dr_Willis> Izinucs:  theres the ssh -v or -vv or -vvv options that give more verbose logging info also
[02:54] <Izinucs> Dr_Willis: I'll give that a shot
[02:54] <songoku> hi tuan
[02:54] <pfifo> im trying to write a program that can access data from the clipboard. Im not at all familiar with how ubuntu has implemented a clipboard, can anyone here point me in the right direction?
[02:54] <tuan> Hi songoku.
[02:54] <latagore> realcoolguy: Lemme just reboot
[02:54] <songoku> tuan la nguoi viet a
[02:54] <Izinucs> latagore: best to use nicks so lines will highlight.. type the first few characters and hit TAB for autocompletion
[02:54] <tuan> Has the subject New Ubuntu Wallpaper already appeared for here?
[02:55] <IdleOne> songoku: Please please in English in this channel.
[02:55] <songoku> ok
 i dont speak english i do speak American
[02:56] <latagore> lzinucs: Not quite sure how to do that
[02:56] <IdleOne> tracy69: that will have to do I suppose
[02:56] <tuan> I speak South American.
[02:56] <Alexander_> I'm able to connect to my wireless router but websites won't load. The network icon shows bars wazzup with that?
[02:56] <latagore> lzinucs: It works on other people's names but not yours
[02:56] <songoku> are there anybody know what it is mean of this line: pkgdatadir = $(datadir)/@PACKAGE@
[02:56] <Quantum_Ion> Dr_Willis, I have a problem can you help me out
[02:56] <Dr_Willis> pfifo:  check the package manager. theres several clipboard manager programs. and i recall one or 2 that worked from a terminal for 'scripting' access tothe clipboard also
[02:56] <Izinucs> latagore: I type "lat" then hit TAB to autocomplete your nick.. mine begins with an I as in "eye" not l
[02:56] <Quantum_Ion> Dr_Willis, Do you know where the X configuration file on Ubuntu Linux is located I cannot find mine
[02:56] <sfears> yet another reason i'm not proud to be american...  FYI, american is not a language
[02:56] <Dr_Willis> Quantum_Ion:  I got 2 min befor i leave for work.. :)
[02:56] <pfifo> songoku, that line is setting a variable
[02:57] <Dr_Willis> Quantum_Ion:  by default X auto configrues. IF  xorg.conf exists  (it dosent have to) its in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:57] <latagore> Izinucs: Got it =o Forgot about that
[02:57] <Izinucs> latagore: worked that time :)
[02:57] <tuan> Most countries aren't languages.
[02:57] <songoku> is it variable environment?
[02:57] <Quantum_Ion> Dr_Willis, okay let me check it out
[02:57] <tuan> That's why they're called Countries and not Languages.
[02:57] <songoku> where do you come from Mr tuan?
[02:57] <Dr_Willis> Quantum_Ion:  My intel machines dont have a xorg.conf , my nvidia machines do.. because the nvidia-settings tool makes one.
[02:58] <tuan> I'm Brazililian, songoku, and you?
[02:58] <songoku> ah, i'm from chinese
[02:58] <MaRk-I> !ot | tuan, songoku
[02:58] <pfifo> Dr_Willis, no, im looking for im guessing GTK+ stuff, I want to access the data from a C program not a shell script (and calling programs from programs is frowned upon) Im not exactly sure where to look though and I dont want to scour throught the complete X and GTK+ docs
[02:58] <Alexander_> is there a ping like command I can issue in the terminal to test connectivity?
[02:58] <Quantum_Ion> Dr_Willis, I want to transfer my Ubuntu Linux X config file to FreeBSD ?
[02:58] <tuan> Yah, okay, I'm leaving... Bye, people. Came here by mistake.
[02:59] <Izinucs> Alexander_: sure "ping IPAddress
[02:59] <Quantum_Ion> Dr_Willis, but I cannot find the X config file on my Ubuntu Linux system
[02:59] <tuan> (Really, clicked on Xchat on Pinguy and here I'm.
[02:59] <latagore> realcoolguy: I just tried to boot from the live CD, it failed
[02:59] <hiexpo> hmm
[02:59] <Izinucs> latagore: did you get the first screen asking for "install / try ubuntu" ?
[02:59] <Alexander_> Izinucs do you know what might be keeping webpages from loading despite my connection to our wireless router>
[02:59] <hiexpo> !live
[03:00] <Maahes> I just had a problem with my liveUSB install.....It went into suspend when I closed the laptop lid, which is fine, but I lost my touchpad when it came back up, is there some way to reinitialize the touchpad?
[03:00] <latagore> Izinucs: Yep; I did get it working with advice to use nomodeset as a boot parameter
[03:00] <Izinucs> latagore: using what parameter?
[03:00] <Izinucs> Alexander_: might be a DNS issue.. not sure how to solve that one.
[03:00] <latagore> Izinucs: "nomodeset"?
[03:00] <Izinucs> latagore: is it a nvidia chipset?
[03:00] <songoku> are  there any document guide about script similar to this script: pkglibdir = $(libdir)/@PACKAGE@
[03:00] <songoku> pkglibexecdir = $(libexecdir)/@PACKAGE@
[03:00] <songoku> am__cd = CDPATH="$${ZSH_VERSION+.}$(PATH_SEPARATOR)" && cd
[03:00] <songoku> install_sh_DATA = $(install_sh) -c -m 644
[03:00] <songoku> install_sh_PROGRAM = $(install_sh) -c
[03:00] <songoku> install_sh_SCRIPT = $(install_sh) -c
[03:00] <FloodBot2> songoku: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:00] <Maahes> Alexander_, my wireless router's dns stops delivering pages for me all the time
[03:01] <Alexander_> Maahes what's that mean? dns?
[03:01] <Alexander_> can I turn it off/delete it *snicker*
[03:01] <songoku> i'm researching make file but i don't know that
[03:01] <latagore> Izinucs: Chipset as in graphics card? It's an AMD machine so I would think otherwise. I don't know though
[03:01] <hiexpo> !dns
[03:01] <Izinucs> dns = domain name server = looks up web pages for coorisponding ip addresses then connects you
[03:01] <Maahes> Alexander_, Domain Name Server, that's the part of your router that translates example.com into 123.456.890
[03:02] <dougb_freebsd> name servers don't look up web pages :)
[03:02] <red2kic> Alexander_: http://www.google.com is easier to remember than http://<IP_ADDRESS>
[03:02] <Izinucs> latagore: I have an AMD machine with nvidia chipset on the motherboard.. that's what I'm wondering about.
[03:02] <Alexander_> true but I just tried ubuntu software center = fail aswell
[03:02] <latagore> Izinucs:  Can I check from the BIOS?
[03:02] <hiexpo> this is not bsd
[03:02] <Maahes> Anyways anyone know how to reinitialize a touchpad in ubuntu?
[03:03] <mr_pinc> Anyone know which version of Ubuntu server I need to install for to run on a Zotac MAG with Ion MB?  The AMD64 version or the i386 version?
[03:03] <latagore> Izinucs:  I went into the bios, can't figure it out
[03:03] <Izinucs> latagore: you can with sudo lshw .. that'll give a bunch of info about your system
[03:04] <SubCool> could someone help me with this edit? i knkow its stupid, but i dont get bash.
[03:04] <SubCool> bash -c 'LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype
[03:04] <Izinucs> latagore: but if you can't boot the live cd that would make it tough.. you could try a different mod to the kernel line for boot.. put in pci=nomsi before boot splash
[03:05] <SubCool> I am supposed to do that so that skype will work, how come when i run that command i get a bash prompt? lol- i know stupid.. but i dont get it
[03:05] <Izinucs> SubCool: does skype load after issuing that line?
[03:05] <SubCool> no
[03:05] <latagore> Izinucs: I'm booting from recovery mode
[03:05] <SubCool> i get a >
[03:06] <Izinucs> SubCool: you have a " ' " mark at the beginning of LD_PR.... but there's no ending ' mark
[03:06] <SubCool> oh- didnt notice that.. ok. ill try
[03:07] <Izinucs> SubCool: make sure it's in the right place.. check the docs you got that line from
[03:07] <MaRk-I> SubCool: try without the bash command see what happens:   LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype
[03:07] <latagore> Izinucs:  I ran the command, but I don't know what I'm looking for xD
[03:07] <SubCool> lol- the docs are interesting, i didnt notice the first ' - i though it was for sytation.
[03:07] <Maahes> Anyways anyone know how to reinitialize a touchpad in ubuntu?
[03:07] <SubCool> how about the multi-desktop widget? i accidentally deleted mine
[03:08] <user796> hello folks
[03:08] <SubCool> Izinucs, ty- that fixed it..
[03:08] <user796> it would seem that the UNR should have an encrypted lvm option
[03:08] <SubCool> Thanks MaRk-I
[03:08] <Izinucs> latagore: scroll through it and look for chipset/motherboard etc.. or simply look for nvidia where ever it appears and see what it references.
[03:08] <petersteele111> damn it it wont let me join #python again. I already registered my username
[03:08] <Izinucs> SubCool: np :)
[03:08] <user796> encrypted lvm would be most needed for a netbook which is easily lost
[03:08] <nimbiotics> hello all. Ive got vbox on ubuntu 10.04. On my windows xp virtual machine, under Devices->USB devices, all the installed devices are grayed out and won't let me use them. How can I fix that behavior? TIA
[03:08] <petersteele111> and confirmed it with the code with nickserv
[03:09] <latagore> Izinucs:  Acer motherboard
[03:09] <Izinucs> nimbiotics: did you install vbox from the repos?
[03:09] <sfears> nimbiotics: you need vbox server for usb support i believe
[03:09] <MaRk-I> nimbiotics: if you're using vbox OSE you cant use USB devices, need to install the vbox PUEL version
[03:09] <Izinucs> latagore: ok.. that a brand name.. not the chipset
[03:10] <SubCool> no one? Widget? :-)
[03:10] <Izinucs> nimbiotics: the PUEL version is only available on the vbox site.. they do have a deb for ubuuntu
[03:11] <latagore> Izinucs: I can't find anything explicitly under chipset
[03:12] <Izinucs> latagore: well you could add pci=nomsi anyway and see if that helps.. won't hurt anything in the live environment
[03:12] <sfears> Izinucs: i think vbox-server has usb support as well
[03:12] <user796> will someone pm me if they know how to setup ssh to use keys instead of passwords
[03:12] <Izinucs> sfears: as far as I know vbox PUEL is the server
[03:12] <sfears> I see
[03:12] <Izinucs> sfears: you might be thinking of vmware-server
[03:13] <nimbiotics> Izinucs: ive got v3.2.8 r64453
[03:13] <holmser> does anyone here use ispconfig?
[03:13] <sfears> perhaps
[03:13] <MaRk-I> !ssh | user796
[03:13] <Izinucs> nimbiotics: doesn't really tell us if you got it from the repos or their site
[03:14] <SubCool> no one? what is theat multi desktop widget?
[03:14] <DistantStar>  What should I do, if I lost sound from speaker output from the motherboard? This happend after I installed my new Radeon HD 5670. The speaker out is perfectly fine on Win7 but on Ubuntu, no sound output.
[03:14] <user796> checking out the help pages
[03:14] <nimbiotics> Izinucs: got it from the site
[03:14] <latagore> Izinucs: No success
[03:15] <Izinucs> nimbiotics: then before starting a vm, highlight it and click settings.. enable usb but disable usb 2.0 .. then start the vm

[03:15] <mibber> hi, i have no floppy drive attached, but programs won't run from my desktop, instead this gets put in my syslog: end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
[03:15] <mibber> does someone know what that means?
[03:15] <sfears> DistantStar: is ALSA installed?
[03:15] <lucascastro> hey. Can someone say me where I can the ipp2p rules on ufw conf and where put in ?
[03:16] <Izinucs> latagore: last attempt for me... get rid of quiet splash from the boot line and then you can watch the progress of the boot.. you should see some errors at some point.. usually the last thing is what causes the hang.
[03:16] <DistantStar> sfears, alsa-base is installed.
[03:17] <sfears> i have some audio problems when i turn jack on.. do you have jack intstalled?
[03:17] <nimbiotics> hello all. Ive got vbox PUEL v3.2.8 r64453on ubuntu 10.04. On my windows xp virtual machine, under Devices->USB devices, all the installed devices are grayed out and won't let me use them. How can I fix that behavior? TIA
[03:17] <latagore> Izinucs: The command line finishes and the login screen pops up and that's when it freezes, so I don't think quiet mode changed anything
[03:17] <Izinucs> nimbiotics: ask in #vbox too.
[03:17] <latagore> Izinucs: removing quiet mode*
[03:18] <sfears> why we even try to help
[03:18] <sfears> ??
[03:18] <DistantStar> sfears, What do you mean by jack on? Is jack a program or GPU setting?
[03:18] <sfears> jack is a program
[03:18] <DistantStar> sfears, In that case, no. I do not have it installed
[03:18] <Izinucs> pulseaudio and jack might not cooexist well together..
[03:18] <sfears> DistantStar: from a command line "apt-cache policy jackd"
[03:19] <avi_> Hello, because of some problems I won't get into now, I need to remove Ubuntu from a mutli-boot system. I have spent some time getting tmy Ubuntu system to work the way I like it, and I would NOT like to have to reinstall from scratch and redo everything.. Is there some way of making an EXACT, working, usable copy of my LinuxUbuntu partition, so that I can reinstall Lucid to a new partition, and then simply "restore" to my saved (current)
[03:19] <avi_> configuration? Simply backing up my /home/$USER is not what I'm looking for.. I'm looking for a complete and total backup/restore process. Thanks a ton in advance!!
[03:19] <a> i am a  new player
[03:19] <sfears> i had luck with a pulseaudio module and jack.. but when i upgraded they stopped working well Izinucs
[03:19] <Izinucs> !clone | avi_
[03:19] <a> what are you  find
[03:20] <DistantStar> sfears, http://pastebin.com/KkApcRGE
[03:20] <Izinucs> avi_: also clonezilla and partimage .. those two are like windows ghost
[03:20] <cached> is it safe to delete a /usr/share/doc folder for something i installed and then removed via apt?
[03:20] <a> do here have chinese
[03:20] <a> i want to take to a chinese
[03:21] <latagore> Izinucs:  Any last advice?

[03:21] <cached> apparently the lilypond docs take up 400MB, which I'm not okay with
[03:21] <Maahes> my machine no longer recognizes my trackpad as existing since coming out of suspend, at least its not listed when I do xinput list how might I find the device, reinintialize it, and re attach it to x?
[03:21] <a>    thanks   i like linux  and i will use it for a long
[03:21] <avi_> Izinucs: Thanks.. but will the aptitude option save my app's configurations, and my desktop UI settings and stuff?
[03:22] <sfears> DistantStar: from the sound control panel can you get a test tone out of any of the alsa/pulse audio/etc options
[03:22] <billy_> hi folks - nautilus filename sort order is wrong - how do i fix it to work like real programs?
[03:22] <latagore> I can't get Linux to get login; it freezes before I can choose a user, can anyone help>
[03:22] <Izinucs> avi_: no.. just your installed apps.. it's basically a one step reinstall of the programs you have now.. without any customizations.. clonezilla and partimage are more what you're looking for.
[03:23] <avi_> Izinucs:
[03:23] <avi_> Izinucs: Excellent. I'll look into them.. thanks!
[03:23]  * Maahes bangs his head against the wall
[03:23] <sfears> latagore.. did you understand the "quiet splash" option someone mentioned earlier, that could help diagnose
[03:23] <Maahes> I wish I had money to buy canonical's desktop support right now
[03:24] <latagore> sfears: It gets past booting
[03:24] <latagore> sfears: and onto the logon screen
[03:25] <DistantStar> sfears, Hm, well I'm not running Gnome. I'm running Xfce4. Also, I tried the test with aplay and Youtube with no feedback. Another thing is, I'm guessing Ubuntu is running the default GPU HDMI setting instead of the motherboard onboard speaker output.
[03:25] <Izinucs> latagore: could also be just a bad burn of the cd
[03:26] <latagore> Izinucs: I'm talking to you on a computer installed from the same live CD
[03:26] <Izinucs> DistantStar: gnome has a setting section for changing the default for audio from hdmi to others.. perhaps you have a menu item like that
[03:26] <Izinucs> latagore: ah.. well. bad cdrom?  <I'm shooting in the dark here>
[03:27] <latagore> I actually installed it on the other computer first and then this one
[03:27] <sfears> latagore: you said your tty screens freeze as well??
[03:27] <latagore> sfears: Yep
[03:27] <DistantStar> Izinucs, I'm curious if Xfce4 has that setting and if not, what would you recommend?
[03:28] <Izinucs> DistantStar: it may be there.. or it may be a supplemental program you install to change the settings.. it's been a long time since I've run Xfce
[03:28] <DistantStar> Izinucs, Ok, I'll install gnome on here and report back. Brb
[03:29] <theyranos> I'm having trouble enabling the root account. I've tried passwd and passwd -l, with apparent success, but still can't su. I get the "Your account has expired" message. Any suggestions?
[03:29] <Maahes> my machine no longer recognizes my trackpad as existing since coming out of suspend, at least its not listed when I do xinput list how might I find the device, reinintialize it, and re attach it to x?
[03:29] <Izinucs> !root | theyranos
[03:29] <Micheal`> hmmmm like gnome is a 3 min install?
[03:29] <sfears> latagore: perhaps some kind of script is being executed pre-login crashing your system?  i wouldn't know where to start with that.  does recovery mode freeze as well?
[03:30] <Maahes> theyranos, why would you want to enable root?
[03:30] <theyranos> Maahes, liznucs: Because I need to do apt, and a recent apt-get dist-upgrade broke sudo
[03:30] <DistantStar> Micheal`, Well, I'm running Ubuntu remember. :) I'm not compiling from source.
[03:30] <Micheal`> even then
[03:30] <latagore> sfears: Recovery mode works fine
[03:31] <Izinucs> theyranos: boot to the recovery kernel.. you're root there by default
[03:31] <Maahes> theyranos, you might be better off using a live CD, Chrooting into your drive, and dist-upgrading from there.
[03:32] <Maahes> or rolling back, however you prefer
[03:32] <theyranos> i'm chrooted into the drive from its host machine
[03:32] <theyranos> unfortunately, I can't get to the recovery console thanks to the way the virtual machines are set up here
[03:33] <latagore> sfears: Do you know what nomodeset does as a boot parameter?
[03:33] <Maahes> theyranos, eek.
[03:33] <Maahes> I'm not qualified to help at that point ^_^
[03:33] <theyranos> my choices are chrooting as i have done, or ssh. But I can't ssh in as root for obvious reasons, so I have to ssh in as my normal user, who can no longer sudo
[03:33] <Maahes> my machine no longer recognizes my trackpad as existing since coming out of suspend, at least its not listed when I do xinput list how might I find the device, reinintialize it, and re attach it to x?
[03:34] <latagore> Heh, I feel sorry for you Maahes, no one has answered your question
[03:34] <mibber> hi guys, when i double click a program on the desktop while simulatenously watching syslog, i dont see any changes to syslog -- shouldn't this be logged?
[03:34] <Jordan_U> theyranos: What happens when you try to use sudo? What package do you think broke sudo?
[03:34] <theyranos> Maahes: I assume you've already tried this, but do you know what kernel module is driving your trackpad? You might be able to reinit with a simple rmmod followed by modprobe.
[03:35] <sfears> latagore: looks like it loads vesa display configs.. i've had problems at login before with nVidia chips, that's why i asked if your tty's freeze
[03:35] <latagore> Mibber: shouldn't you refresh or something?
[03:35] <Maahes> theyranos, THANKYOU, I had forgotten the damn command, the only thing I could remember was depmod
[03:35] <theyranos> Jordan_U: Something to do with NFS. Sudo itself works, but I'm no longer in the admin group... or any group for that matter.
[03:35] <mibber> latagore: refresh what
[03:35] <latagore> mibber: your log viewer
[03:35] <mibber> latagore: i am using tail -f /var/log/syslog
[03:35] <JabDesign> so it looks like ubuntu's epiphany cannot connect to AIM anymore
[03:35] <JabDesign> anyone else experience that?
[03:36] <sfears> latagore: since your tty's freeze i would say it's not a display driver problem, but nVidia stuff is pesky sometimes.  Try loading a generic xorg.conf file and see what happens
[03:36] <latagore> sfears: I wouldn't know how to do that
[03:36] <Jordan_U> theyranos: Is your /etc/group on NFS?
[03:36] <sfears> well.. first try the nomode set boot option
[03:36] <latagore> mibber: I don't know from here; I'm only a beginner at Linux
[03:36] <theyranos> Jordan_U: NIS, sorry, and yes.
[03:36] <latagore> sfears: I tried it before and I know it works
[03:37] <theyranos> Jordan_U: The existence of my user account, and the fact that it should be in admin, are both NIS things.
[03:37] <sfears> latagore: it sound kind of like the nomodeset option loads generic display options which might solve your problem, if so we've diagnosed your problem and can play with your xorg settings then
[03:38] <latagore> sfears: Alright, though I wouldn't know how to change xorg
[03:38] <theyranos> I can probably just tweak /etc/group on the virtual machine to get back in...
[03:38] <sfears> ohh.. well then latagore, "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg"
[03:38] <Tater3000> I need help, when my computer goes into suspend I can't get it out, how can I fix this, its a hp pavillion dv8000
[03:39] <sfears> latagore: execute that from your recovery mode and reboot.. see if it works
[03:39] <AlbertoP> hello
[03:39] <AlbertoP> is there an automated tool to build live images (personalized) based on ubuntu?
[03:39] <Jordan_U> theyranos: That's what I would recommend, at least it should let you have access to debug NIS.
[03:39] <latagore> sfears: gonna do that
[03:39] <hart> hey guys is there a way i can use my webcam in chatrooms? it doesnt seem to have the drivers our soemthing
[03:39] <AlbertoP> I basically need a standard live + some pre-compiled tools
[03:40] <Jordan_U> !remaster | AlbertoP
[03:40] <avi_> hello, does anyone know if Clonezilla supports ext4 fully?
[03:40] <Micheal`> i would sure hope so
[03:40] <Micheal`> but i dont know honestly
[03:40] <avi_> :P
[03:40] <AlbertoP> Jordan_U: thanks
[03:41] <avi_> Yeah, it would be a REAL bummer if it didn't..
[03:41] <Micheal`> parted-magic worked ok last i used it too
[03:41] <latagore> sfears: Yep, same error as when I asked someone else
[03:41] <latagore> sfears: there is no output for the command
[03:41] <latagore> sfears: maybe my xorg package doesn't exist at all
[03:41] <avi_> Perhaps you could suggest a similar tool? I need to do a backup of my Lucid system, so that when I wipe the HD and reinstall Lucid vanilla, I can just restore to the exact state my computer is in right now.
[03:41] <Jordan_U> AlbertoP: You're welcome.
[03:42] <sfears> that command should create a xorg.conf file
[03:42] <avi_> Partimage won't do it because it can't support ext4.. :/
[03:42] <latagore> sfears: Well someone said it should give a bunch of output
[03:42] <latagore> sfears: But I'm getting nothing
[03:43] <sfears> latagore: "apt-cache policy xorg"
[03:43] <sfears> installed?
[03:43] <mr_pinc> question: what is 'ubuntu basic server' in the ubuntu server menu.  do i need to install this?
[03:43] <latagore> sfears: Yep
[03:43] <upgrdman> anyone know of a good gui for syncing folders between two linux boxes?
[03:43] <sfears> ok.. "lspci" what does it say by VGA?
[03:43] <xangua> upgrdman: ubuntu one, dropbox¿
[03:44] <i_is_broke> can i safely remove konqueror from my system, and if so whats the easiest way?
[03:44] <Micheal`> avi_, chack here: http://clonezilla.org/
[03:44] <latagore> sfears: ATI Radeon HD 4200
[03:44] <Izinucs> rsync has a gui.. look in synaptic
[03:44] <Micheal`> grsync
[03:44] <sfears> i_is_broke: "sudo apt-get remove --purge konqueror" maybe?
[03:44] <Izinucs> that's it !!
[03:44] <avi_> Micheal`, That's what I'm angling at right now. Can you personally vouch for it's success?
[03:44] <Micheal`> you're welcome
[03:45] <i_is_broke> latagore, i have the same onboard graphics card and it sucks...bought an nvidia and works like a charm..
[03:45] <Micheal`> i havent done those in a while i just backup my home and rebuild
[03:45] <latagore> i_is_broke: lol Mine is the netbook version
[03:45] <Micheal`> grsycn it to be exact lol
[03:45] <theyranos> i can now sudo su -  on the virtual machine thanks to some config file tweaking from the host machine, but I would still like to enable root on this machine so I have a backup for when this happens again.
[03:46] <avi_> Micheal`, Right. But i'm concerned about apps and settings not data.. all my media/documents I have on an external ext4 drive specifically for that. :D
[03:46] <Izinucs> theyranos: create a secondary user account for backup..
[03:46] <sfears> latagore: did you say you currently have no "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" file?
[03:46] <i_is_broke> latagore, sorry about your luck...lol i left my laptop running win 7 just for that reason. i didnt want to mess with it.
[03:46] <latagore> sfears: That's just my conjecture; I'll look for it now
[03:46] <latagore> i_is_broke: It
[03:46] <Micheal`> what app settings? they should all be in your home , well in most cases
[03:46]  * sfears is looking up the definition of conjecture
[03:47] <latagore> i_is_broke: It's apparently one of the best netbook graphics cards lol
[03:47] <adante> how can i disable compiz from the command line, when the gnome-session/x display is not running (ie next time gnome starts i don't want it to start compiz)
[03:47] <DistantStar> Izinucs, I have played around with the sound settings, between the on board and the HDMI, but no sound still. Is this a problem with the asound.conf issue?
[03:47] <Izinucs> adante: metacity --replace
[03:47] <soreau> adamx: chmod -x `which compiz`
[03:47] <avi_> Micheal`, I mean like, all the apps I've installed, custom settings, server config files, and other settings that (I don't think are in /home/$USER
[03:47]  * sfears adds conjecture to his dictionary
[03:47] <Jordan_U> adante: Easiest way is "sudo apt-get remove compiz"
[03:47] <sfears> the world is flat, that is my conjecture
[03:47] <theyranos> Izinucs: Thanks. Donno why I didn't think of that :-)
[03:47] <i_is_broke> latagore, oh i love it on win 7, just not for my linux box... its got great graphics, just amd needs to make it easier for everyone to install them right.
[03:47] <Izinucs> DistantStar: sounds like a mystery to me.. no pun intended :).. sorry I don't have the answers
[03:47] <adante> Izinucs: that requires an x display
[03:47] <Micheal`> avi_, well cloning the wholedrive wont help you
[03:48] <DistantStar> Izinucs, Ok, thanks anyways. :)
[03:48] <avi_> Micheal`, Oh no?
[03:48] <latagore> sfears: I checked the directory; it's empty
[03:48] <latagore> sfears: I mean the file is not there; wtf am I saying
[03:48] <adante> Jordan_U: thanks... any idea if it is possible to disable it, not remove ?
[03:48] <Izinucs> theyranos: simple is best :)
[03:48] <theyranos> DistantStar: Have you already ruled out something locking your sound devices? sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*
[03:48] <Micheal`> avi_, well if you clone the whole drive and them reinstall the whole system are you just going to copy parts over?
[03:48] <i_is_broke> latagore, did you use the alternate disk to load ubuntu on your laptop?
[03:48] <sfears> alright latagore, does anyone know how to create a generic vesa xorg.conf file if "dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" doesn't work?
[03:49] <Micheal`> avi_, and if you restore the clone well you gain nothing from reinstalling
[03:49] <Izinucs> adante: I realize that.. however I think he was mixing gnome with x.. if gnome doesn't load or hangs X may still be running.
[03:50] <DistantStar> theyranos, They are all controled by pulseaudio, if that's what you're asking.
[03:50] <latagore> i_is_broke:  I installed it onto my hard drive and then booted
[03:50] <avi_> Micheal`, No I don't intend to like "drag" the files over. I am hoping for a system where I can click "backup/clone" in my current install of Lucid, then, after i've wiped the HD and set up the partiton map as I like, install vanilla lucid to the partition i've assigned for it, and simply hit "restore" and walk away. Then I'll come back and my system will be *exactly* as I left it.
[03:50] <avi_> Micheal`, Yes, I should've mentioned that, the reason I'm reinstalling is not about Lucid.. it's actually about OS X.
[03:51] <avi_> Micheal`, But sadly I can't just reinstall the OS X partiton, because OS X
[03:51] <Micheal`> freebsd gotcha
[03:51] <nimbiotics> i downloaded a file with extension .bundle How do I install this package?
[03:51] <avi_> Micheal`, 's restore CD crashes when it has to deal with ext4 cds.
[03:51] <Micheal`> thats right
[03:51] <latagore> sfears: I'll google it
[03:51] <adante> Izinucs: the person who asked was me - and x isn't running. I want to disable it so the next time i run gnome-session in my X session it does not try to start compiz (and hopefully no longer crashes)
[03:52] <Izinucs> avi_: simply backing up /home will retain most if not all of your settings.. then the aptitude line to clone the packages that are installed should do it..
[03:52] <Micheal`> avi_, are you looking to duel boot?
[03:52] <theyranos> DistantStar: unfortunately I'm not familiar with pulseaudio, so I'm out of my league. Sorry
[03:52] <soreau> adante: Jordan_U has the best probable solution with 'sudo apt-get remove compiz'
[03:52] <avi_> Izinucs, It probably will. Wait a sec I need to explain my situation more to the both of you.
[03:53] <Izinucs> adante: then uninstall compiz..
[03:53] <Baxnie> i'm trying to connect using ssh, but after connect, server instantly closes connection
[03:53] <theyranos> DistantStar: May want to try to kill pulseaudio and test with aplay again just to be sure that's not it, if that's what came up from that fuser command.
[03:53] <Izinucs> avi_: I think I got it..
[03:53] <adante> soreau, Izinucs, Jordan_U : ok, thanks guys
[03:53] <sfears> latagore: "apt-cache search envy" does a program envyng-qt still exist?
[03:53] <Izinucs> avi_: you want to save your programs and settings for a future reinstall with manual partitioning..
[03:54] <latagore> sfears: Nothing
[03:54] <Micheal`> ok the wife and her boobies call me later yall
[03:54] <j3rg> yo
[03:54] <greezmunkey> Baxnie: Are you connecting locally?
[03:54] <j3rg> wats up everyone
[03:54] <j3rg> one small question
[03:54] <j3rg> nothing hard
[03:54] <greezmunkey> j3rg: put it on one line, and ask away. :)
[03:55] <Baxnie> greezmunkey: i've a dedicated server, i'm connecting to it, it was normal then a friend told me to use 'screen', after it a could not connect again
[03:55] <DistantStar> theyranos, No, it doesn't seem to be it. I must say, I'm confused.
[03:55] <Jordan_U> adante: There is also a gconf key for setting the default window manager.
[03:55] <j3rg> what's the term when one computer gives another computer internet access?
[03:55] <Baxnie> donno if screen has any relation
[03:55] <j3rg> I know it involves port forwarding
[03:55] <greezmunkey> j3rg: connection sharing
[03:55] <avi_> Micheal`, Izinucs, Okay. I currently have a tripleboot system that works fine mostly, on my mac. (Win7, Lucid, latest OS X). Except my OS X partition needs to be reinstalled. To do that, because of complications/limitations with Apple's reinstall functions, I need to basically WIPE the whole drive and then set up 3 partitions.. then install OS X+Win7+Lucid. So naturally there's nothing wrong with my Win7 and Lucid partitions, hence my desi
[03:55] <avi_> re to retain their EXACT state. I'm explaining this because i want to make sure that it's understood that I have NO need to resintall the Ubuntu base system at all..
[03:55] <Agu10> hey
[03:55] <j3rg> greezmunkey: thanks alot
[03:56] <j3rg> of to google it in Ubuntu
[03:56] <Agu10> if I want to make a virtualbox machine to run without having to install virtualbox on ubuntu, what can I do?
[03:56] <greezmunkey> Baxnie: The connection drops as soon as it gets connected, or you just see a blank screen?
[03:56] <Izinucs> avi_: how many partitions are you currently using for your ubuntu install?
[03:56] <Agu10> is there any virtualbox portable for ubuntu?
[03:56] <pseudomorph> can anyone tell me how to disable an addon via about:config? updates seem to have killed access to menu's
[03:56] <Agu10> or is there any offline installer so I don't need internet?
[03:56] <sfears> latagore: i see something else here, but i'm hesitant to try becuase i don't want to leave your recovery gui useless, but if you kill your xserver session, in ubuntu "/etc/init.d/gdm stop" then run "X -reconfigure" you may get to manually setup your xorg.  Just make sure you choose VESA drivers
[03:56] <pLr> Agu10, no. You must install virtualbox to run it
[03:56] <Baxnie> greezmunkey: after it connects, i get a message talking about last login, etc and then it closes connection
[03:57] <Baxnie> strangest thing is that i just connected with filezilla with no problem
[03:57] <avi_> Izinucs, Well I'm pretty sure just an ext4 partition for my system and a swap file. I installed Ubuntu to use the remaining free space.. so whatever sort of partition scheme that would be is what I've got.
[03:57] <greezmunkey> Baxnie: ok. Can you access the target machine via console, to run // sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog // so you can troubleshoot further??
[03:57] <latagore> sfears: That's okay, I can always boot from USB (hopefully there is a command line)
[03:58] <sfears> latagore: see here http://blogs.koolwal.net/2009/04/24/howto-resolve-x-server-video-driver-errorscrashes-in-debian-linux/
[03:58] <Baxnie> greezmunkey: didnt understand ur point
[03:58] <Baxnie> i cant acess it via terminal cause i disconnects as soon it connects
[03:58] <greezmunkey> Baxnie: do you have keyboard access to the target machine?
[03:58] <theyranos> DistantStar: Okay, when you start alsamixer, what do you get for Card and Chip? Does that correspond to your sound card or the new card you installed?
[03:58] <Baxnie> no
[03:58] <Izinucs> avi_: ok.. if you let the installer do it's own thing then you have 2.. one that is everything but swap and then a swap partition.. if clonezilla will do ext4 then that's the way to go. the answer to that though is a bit nebulous
[03:58] <theyranos> \me is still guessing
[03:59] <latagore> sfears: I can't seem to stop it
[03:59] <greezmunkey> Baxnie: what command are you issuing to access the box? (dummy up the actual IP address)
[03:59] <sfears> you need to be in a tty screen, you can't kill X if your using it
[03:59] <negers> any nederlanders here?
[03:59] <Izinucs> avi_: another way is by using dd but I have no experience with it.
[03:59] <Baxnie> greezmunkey: ssh root@ip
[03:59] <Baxnie> then i enter password
[04:00] <DistantStar> theyranos, According to pavucontrol, ALSA plugin-in reads [npviewer.bin]. Alsamixer shows the on board sound card being read and active and maxed out.
[04:00] <avi_>  Izinucs, from what i've found out, Partimage does _not_ currently support ext4, while dd (i think that's more trouble than it's worth) and CloneZilla support ext4.
[04:00] <greezmunkey> Baxnie: And, this is a Ubuntu box? Do you have another account that has remote access permissions?
[04:00] <theyranos> DistantStar: aaaand I'm out of ideas.
[04:00] <sfears> dd if=/dev/sr0 of=/place/of/file/filename.iso
[04:00] <iShanwnW> Hey is there a way to add a panel to second monitor in 10.04?
[04:00] <theyranos> sorry
[04:00] <latagore> sfears: I'm using the recovery console; it says no service found, so I think I'll be able to modify it
[04:00] <DistantStar> theyranos, That's fine. Thanks for your help. :)
[04:00] <Izinucs> avi_: ah there you go.. sfears gave you the line above
[04:01] <sfears> latagore: try "sudo X -reconfigure"
[04:01] <TiK> sfears: what about bootable iso's?
[04:01] <kerdal> what do i use to put video files on my IPOD
[04:01] <Baxnie> greezmunkey: its a debian box but i'm using ubuntu, and yesterday everything was going fine
[04:01] <Baxnie> i noticed the issue after entering the screen command
[04:01] <avi_> Izinucs, Okay. So let me get this straight. Now that you know what I'm looking to do.. I right now go and install clonezilla and tell it to clone my whole HD to some file/folder on an external HD I've got. Then once I set up the other OS's as I like, I install Lucid from a normal install CD, install CloneZIlla, and then hit "restore" or something?
[04:01] <sfears> dd makes an exact copy.. so if the iso is bootable DD will make a bootable copy
[04:02] <latagore> sfears: I did -configure and my console terminated
[04:02] <Maahes> anyone know what kernel module besides psmouse drives the synaptic driver?
[04:02] <holmser> how do I allow my new server to access the mysql database on another network machine?
[04:02] <iShanwnW> How can I add a panel in 10.04?
[04:02] <avi_> Izinucs, sfears, I think my problem is that I don't know how to go about "restoring" a partiton from a .iso I make of it. So let's say I used dd to save my current machine's HD to an ext HD, how can I go about restoring that?
[04:02] <greezmunkey> Baxnie: wierd. Have you ever tested logging into the box multiple times before you installed screen?
[04:02] <red2kic> iShanwnW: Right-click on an existing panel and "Add New Panel"
[04:02] <holmser> I have already edited the config files so it is listening, but I am still getting denied
[04:02] <mibber> hi guys can someone help plz, i can't run icons from my desktop
[04:03] <mibber> i've tried so many things but i can't figure this out
[04:03] <avi_> !details | mibber
[04:03] <greezmunkey> Baxnie: I mean concurrent logins that is...
[04:03] <sfears> dd (disk dump) if (input file) of (output file)  dd if=/place/of/file/filename.iso of=/dev/hda1
[04:03] <latagore> sfears: It's not responding to my power button either; usually it would start turning off by bow
[04:03] <iShanwnW> red2kic: non-exsistant
[04:03] <red2kic> !resetpanel | iShanwnW
[04:03] <Baxnie> greezmunkey: oh!!!
[04:03] <Baxnie> the screen command keeps a connection alive right?
[04:03] <sfears> not sure what that would be latagore
[04:03] <latagore> sfears: I forced it to turn off
[04:03] <greezmunkey> Baxnie: usually :)
[04:03] <Sonja> how do i make a folder password-protected so only i can access it?
[04:04] <Baxnie> greezmunkey: how do i get this screen back?
[04:04] <iShanwnW> red2kic: I want to add a pannel to my second monitor.
[04:04] <mibber> I have version 10.04 inside vmware, i've been debugging this all day, the problem is with my desktop, when i double click an icon nothing happens, it doesn't run the program, mouse cursor goes busy, then goes back to normal and nothing happens
[04:04] <kerdal> looking for video to ipod
[04:04] <Izinucs> avi_: ah.. but you said earlier that you weren't going to reinstall... clonezilla will put back all data in the same partition.. no choice.. so if you don't want to reinstall then clonezilla will do it for you maintaining the same partitioning sceme you had previously.. if you want to separate /home to its own partition after the restore you can do that anytime.
[04:04] <red2kic> iShanwnW: Hold ALT and drag the panel to second monitor.
[04:04] <xangua> iShanwnW: right clic>new panel
[04:04] <sfears> avi_: there may be some permission issues
[04:04] <latagore> sfears: I rebooted the console
[04:04] <avi_> sfears, Wait wait. So I guess I'd need to boot into a LiveCD to do that, right? Because I can't restore to the partition that I'm running dd from..
[04:04] <sfears> avi_: you may need to use su in order to copy some of the files at which point may cause issues when you put them back becuase you wil be a different user
[04:04] <greezmunkey> Baxnie: you have to issue the ssh command in such a way as to reconnect to that session. I'd have to look that up, but I'm sure there are others here who can give that up off the top of their heads.
[04:04] <Izinucs> avi_: clonezilla has it's own live cd
[04:05] <iShanwnW> red2kic: xangua: nope still don't get another panel or move exsisting one
[04:05] <latagore> sfears: I have one question; if someone is trying to use my computer, and they use root; they don't even need to put in a password O_o
[04:05] <sfears> i would say that's correct avi_
[04:05] <Baxnie> greezmunkey: i'll restart computer :P thanks for ur help
[04:05] <velociostrich> I've got a bit of a hardware conundrum that I'm struggling to solve: I'm building a machine for someone and I can't get the darn thing to even light up the display. It's got an ASUS M4N75TD motherboard that has a "DRAM" LED that (I think) is supposed to show when the RAM isn't quite right, and it lights up with both sticks of (matched) DDR3 are in; it blinks when only one is in. The manual is kinda vague; anyone know what the LED sho
[04:05] <velociostrich> uld be doing or where I could find out, and if there's some way of pinpointing whats wrong?
[04:05] <greezmunkey> Baxnie: btw... uh, ok.
[04:05] <sfears> latagore: recovery modes do boot into root
[04:05] <sfears> i think
[04:06] <velociostrich> sfears: they give you the option of dropping to a root shell or w/e
[04:06] <Izinucs> avi_: the other issue you'll have to deal with is grub.. it most likely will have to be reinstalled.
[04:06] <avi_> Izinucs, Ahhh. I see. That makes much sense. So to "save" the current partiton i need to boot from the CD... then, once I need to restore, I boot to the same CD again, and point it in the right direction of where to load/save from/to.. correct?
[04:06] <latagore> sfears: So what would stop someone from accessing my computer and deleting everything
[04:06] <sfears> you need to remove the recovery mode lines from your grub file
[04:06] <Izinucs> avi_: basically.. the clonezilla cd will make use of the external usb drive to store the image.. and restore the image
[04:06] <avi_> Izinucs, I think i'll go with CloneZilla.. I think it is more suited for my purpose and makes things a bit easier.
[04:07] <latagore> sfears: Okay; I'll ask about that after I get this silly thing solved
[04:07] <sfears> avi_: i've had mixed results with the dd, i use it mostly for copying cds
[04:07] <avi_> Izinucs, Well that's exactly what I'm looking for then! Thanks a ton, I think i'll burn that CD and poke around with it before I make a commit.
[04:07] <sfears> and for low level formating drives

[04:07] <latagore> sfears: It doesn't understand the option reconfigure
[04:07] <sfears> turns all bits to 0
[04:07] <avi_> sfears, As do I, I would've assumed that cloning/resoting a WHOLE drive with dd would cause a whole mess of problems.
[04:08]  * undifined hits sfears with a cluebat
[04:08] <Izinucs> avi_: you can use dd for partiitons too.
[04:08] <sfears> latagore: try X --reconfigure
[04:08] <latagore> sfears: I tried configure again and it stopped responding
[04:08] <negers> latagore: try X --reconfigure
[04:08] <negers> sfears: I tried configure again and it stopped responding
[04:09] <avi_> Izinucs, Right right. Well I think that i'm going to go with CloneZilla any how. Thanks very much!
[04:09] <negers> Izinucs, Right right. Well I think that i'm going to go with CloneZilla any how. Thanks very much!
[04:09] <avi_> Uhm... negers..
[04:09] <negers> Uhm... negers..
[04:09] <Izinucs> avi_: :) have fun

[04:09] <velociostrich> latagore: if you remove those lines, you can still access the recovery modes (and make it secure) by putting a password on your bios and disable booting from removable media, then when you want to use a recovery mode, log into the bios, re-enable booting from removable media, then use a live CD to chroot into the HD, edit the grub lines, and re-install grub so that they're visible, but that's only necessary if you're really paranoid.
[04:09] <velociostrich>  At that rate, you should put a padlock on your comp, too :)
[04:09] <Izinucs> !ops negers bot

[04:10] <velociostrich> wtf is up with negers? he a bot or something?
[04:10] <latagore> velociostrich: I did that that already, thank you very much XD
[04:11] <red2kic> Nothing to see here. Move on.
[04:11] <velociostrich> latagore: the padlock? lol
[04:11] <sfears> well latagore i think your issue is with your xorg file, or lack of /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.  you need to load a generic xorg.conf using vesa drivers, from there you can install functional ATI drivers to get good resolution and 3D rendering.  since your "dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" doesn' t seem to work i'm not sure what your next step is, but figure out how to get your vesa drivers in your xorg.conf file
[04:11] <latagore> velociostrich: no disabling USB boot and putting a password on the bios
[04:11] <sfears> got to go... peace
[04:11] <latagore> velociostrich: Was planning to get a lock for it too
[04:11] <velociostrich> latagore: ohh lol
[04:12] <latagore> sfears: thanks for the help
[04:12] <latagore> Aw
[04:12] <Baxnie> greezmunkey: it do not work ! donno what to do anymore
[04:12] <velociostrich> latagore: not a bad idea in this day and age; that, or you could booby-trap it (jk)
[04:12] <Baxnie> i tought restarting would close ssh connection and then just work
[04:12] <latagore> That's one DAMN good idea
[04:13] <greezmunkey> Baxnie: Chack this: ssh -t<EMAIL_ADDRESS>screen -r, see if that format works.
[04:13] <Izinucs> Baxnie: can you log in with ssh <username>@IP ?  not with ssh root@IP
[04:13] <sunbeam> hey, guys
[04:13] <avi_> Izinucs, Wait one more thing.. I should download the "Ubuntu based one" rather than the "Debain based one", correct?
[04:13] <velociostrich> so... anyone know how to find out if my problems are with RAM or the motherboard or what...? is there some cheap way of getting accurate POST codes without a monitor?
[04:13] <simpleplan-> hi
[04:13] <Baxnie> Izinucs: i've no other user
[04:13] <Izinucs> avi_: doesn't matter..
[04:13] <latagore> velociostrich: I'll put a grenade at the case lid so you can't open it
[04:13] <greezmunkey> Baxnie: Chack this: ssh -t<EMAIL_ADDRESS>screen -r, see if that format works.
[04:13] <Izinucs> Baxnie: so when you setup the machine and created an account you called it root?
[04:14] <greezmunkey> Izinucs: debian target box...
[04:14] <ikar> Hey, how do i uninstall samba from comand-line?
[04:14] <GerbilSoft> velociostrich: you'd need something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Elston-Systems-Post-Card-Tester/dp/B000RXTKVA
[04:14] <Izinucs> greezmunkey: ah..
[04:14] <avi_> Izinucs, Ah okay. I just found a diff table and apparently the Ubuntu one just has some non-free compatibility, is a bit larger in size, and drops i486 support.. So ubuntu it is.
[04:14] <velociostrich> latagore: just hope the theif's family doesn't sue you (heh heh heh)
[04:14] <Baxnie> greezmunkey bash: screen: command not found
[04:14] <Baxnie> Connection to xxxxx closed.

[04:15] <heizmann> Good evening, everybody. A question concerning to the framebuffer using :)

[04:16] <latagore> velociostrich:  Wise advice.
[04:16] <Izinucs> greezmunkey: is Baxnie saying someone else can connect to the same machine but she can't?  could be the keys on her machine are corrupt.
[04:16] <heizmann> Is it possible, in a tty, to play a movie with mplayer for example, with a video playing at the top left corner, then during this time, working in the tty (on bottom)? :)
[04:17] <SubCool> well, it is working, but not properly

[04:17] <SubCool> oh- nvm- my bad.. i installed KDE wrong i think-
[04:17] <velociostrich> heizman: interesting question... I'm the least qualified to answer but I'd think that if you had a screen session you might, if you can even play video with mplayer at the command line at all (can you...?)
[04:17] <SubCool> if nayone knows- PM me.
[04:18] <latagore> How can I edit a text file from command line>
