[06:16] <themalik> but it wont work :(
[06:16] <vooze> Hey, i'm moving files from my external harddrive.. My book WD.. And its really slow.. is my my book then in a "bad linux format" or?
[06:16] <bazhang> http://ubuntuexplore.blogspot.com/2010/05/ubuntu-how-to-add-thunderbird-in.html themalik use gksudo gedit instead of sudo gedit though
[06:17] <vooze> its like 800kb/s.. like my real internet :(
[06:17] <x20twelve> if i play nexuiz in gnome/kde it would run fine except be a bit laggy. so i decided run it in xterm, but then theres no sound
[06:18] <leachim6> hey
[06:18] <nexeh> x20twelve: i dont know the awnser and this is a complete guess but check if you sound drivers load when starting in xterm
[06:18] <themalik> yeah but the notifier has compose new message and such
[06:18] <themalik> those were linked to evolution
[06:18] <themalik> but i uninstalled evolution
[06:18] <leachim6> I want to map mod4+backpace to delete, how can I do this, I've googled and can't find anything
[06:18] <themalik> and now they do nothing
[06:18] <themalik> really annoys me lol, im ocd, so i wanted to get thunderbird to work with it
[06:18] <nexeh> x20tweleve: and if there are not loaded then manually load them

[06:20] <bazhang> http://ubuntuexplore.blogspot.com/2010/05/ubuntu-how-to-add-thunderbird-in.html themalik use gksudo gedit though
[06:20] <x20twelve> and i kinda forgot how to get back to the dir im lookin for. the dir nexuiz is installed in
[06:20] <themalik> thanks
[06:21] <nexeh> x20tweleve: but if the drivers arnt loaded then that wont matter what options your using in the game... do you know how to veryfy your sound drivers are loaded?
[06:22] <x20twelve> so i think my obstacle is knowing the commands to backtrack to that dir
[06:22] <x20twelve> it plays fine with audio in gnome/kde
[06:22] <nexeh> x20twelve: ok so when your in gnome how do you start the game?
[06:23] <nexeh> are you using a launcher?

[06:35] <icedtea> does anyone know how to change the amount GTK scrolls when you use the scroll wheel?
[06:36] <x20twelve> well not really...in terminal i tried running that line, and the result came back with bash at the beginning of what i typed...is that normal result as im still in gnome/kde?
[06:36] <A_J> nexeh, i put it now in search domains
[06:37] <Loki^> i need help enabling direct rendering for my ati hd3xxx card, i googled till page 10 -.-
[06:37] <nexeh> AJ: in network manager, just add a comma delimited list, starting with the primary.
[06:37] <nexeh> same with resolv.conf. should work in the order declared.
[06:37] <nexeh> x20: which command are you talking about?
[06:38] <icedtea> how do you restart/stop and network interface on the command line with ubuntu?
[06:38] <x20twelve> cd /the/name/of/folder/ and it came back ---> bash: cd /the/name/of/folder/
[06:39] <x20twelve> and that its not a dir...when i did the whereis, it actually pointed to a *.gz file
[06:39] <nexeh> x2-: well now im showing my in experince... im booting my other machine into xterm.. one second
[06:39] <x20twelve> so i think im not doing something right
[06:39] <nexeh> oh good catch
[06:40] <nexeh> Ok its booting into Xterm
[06:40] <x20twelve> yu can boot into xterm while in kde?
[06:40] <tehbaut> is there a program that can document files on a hard drive? Like a tree list of files?
[06:41] <nexeh> x20: ok question 1.. where you log into when starting xterm is home... you can find this by typeing pwd... it stands for present working dir
[06:41] <nexeh> i booting in on another machine
[06:41] <A_J> thanks nexeh, that seemed to work
[06:41] <A_J> one last question
[06:41] <boxbeatsy> hi, how does ubuntu determine which processes to kill when it is maxed out on memory?
[06:42] <bucky> boxbeatsy, do you have swap ?
[06:42] <x20twelve> ok fair enough...where i choose xterm instead of gnome or failsafe gnome
[06:42] <boxbeatsy> bucky: yea
[06:42] <boxbeatsy> i'm looking at dmesg and i can see the log from the kernel killing a process, and it's always the same process
[06:43] <bucky> boxbeatsy, You're not running out of swap are you?
[06:43] <boxbeatsy> does that meant hat process is causing the memory usage problem?
[06:43] <A_J> my current resolution is 1024 X 768, my monitor supports upto 1280 X 1024 anyway i can increase it ? I use to get this resolution in windows.. Using On-board Graphics
[06:43] <bucky> boxbeatsy, type top in a term and see what's hogging the system
[06:43] <boxbeatsy> bucky: i looked at top but it seems like the memory has freed up since the problem occured
[06:44] <bucky> hmmm.... dunno
[06:44] <boxbeatsy> it did use up all the swap too
[06:44] <boxbeatsy> i can see from dmesg "Free swap = 0kB"
[06:44] <sasori2501> hey guys,  question, anyone know a good phone syncing program? specifically for android, htc desire.  thanks!
[06:44] <A_J> any1 can help me ?
[06:44] <tehbaut> I thought that having hfsprogs allowed me to write to HFS+ formatted partitions?
[06:45] <tehbaut> do I need to mount manually, rather than via nautilus/disk utility?
[06:45] <most> ciaoooo
[06:45] <bucky> A_J, System > Preferences > Monitors
[06:45] <A_J> it's not showing up
[06:45] <A_J> the resolution
[06:46] <A_J> getting a max for 1024 X 768
[06:46] <most> come si scaricaa
[06:46] <bucky> A_J, you might need better video drivers for your specific video card
[06:46] <A_J> it's on-board

[07:12] <Sysunix> Hi everyone, I've got a little problem with my packard bell laptop. my headphone doesn't work and they seem to not even be in alsamixer..
[07:13] <Sysunix> An idea?
[07:13] <chalcedony> hello Sysunix
[07:13] <phpmagician> chalcedony, you will need to explain a bit more
[07:13] <frostero> heya chalcedony
[07:13] <chalcedony> phpmagician, maybe if you tell me some ideas for how to burn a cd on ubuntu 10.10?
[07:14] <frostero> hey does anyone know of a simple open source inventory management system?
[07:14] <chalcedony> phpmagician, i think maybe he lost the program he liked
[07:14] <Loshki> chalcedony: imo, the best app for burning cds/dvds is k3b, even if you don't run kde...
[07:14] <chalcedony> Loshki, hmm k
[07:14] <A_J> How do i edit my souces.list ?
[07:15] <phpmagician> chalcedony, under Applications->Sound and Video->Brasero
[07:15] <bullgard4> 'e2fsck -f -y -v /dev/sda7' reports: "3723ind blocks." What is an ind block?
[07:15] <A_J> when i try to type nothing happens
[07:15] <kstar66> no one here can help me add a theme for IRC? Arent all of you using ubunto??
[07:15] <chalcedony> phpmagician, ok - ill go try those and see if they also produce errors. thanks :)
[07:16] <vooze> kstar66,  why do you need a theme for IRC?
[07:16] <phpmagician> chalcedony, when you say lost... what do you mean?
[07:16] <kstar66> i suppose i dont need one. I just have one i like to use.
[07:16] <chalcedony> phpmagician he changed hard drives and things, maybe he forgot what he was using
[07:16] <phpmagician> chalcedony, in Brasero you should select Data project for JPG's
[07:16] <A_J> can some1 help me edit my sources.list
[07:16] <chalcedony> phpmagician, he's had ubuntu for years
[07:16] <kstar66> are you suggesting its not worth the hassle?
[07:16] <chalcedony> ok
[07:17] <A_J> kstar66,  use the default themes which they have
[07:17] <bullgard4> A_J: Do' ~$ gksu gedit /etc/fstab'. But before please make a backup of /etc/fstab.
[07:17] <kstar66> k
[07:17] <kstar66> ty
[07:17] <frostero> anyone into ubuntu cli or system administration?
[07:17] <phpmagician> chalcedony, Brasero is the default app shipping with 10.10 but you can search using the software center for another app
[07:17] <frostero> crm?
[07:17] <phpmagician> chalcedony, Application->Ubuntu Software Center
[07:17] <A_J> how do i make a backup ?
[07:18] <frostero> clonezilla
[07:18] <bullgard4> frostero: Please put a more specific question here in this channel.
[07:18] <chalcedony> phpmagician, i appreciate your help :)
[07:18] <frostero> im looking for an inventory management system or crm
[07:18] <A_J> bullgard4, can i pm you ?
[07:18] <frostero> i run server cli
[07:18] <frostero> something i can web interface
[07:18] <Loshki> bullgard4: I'm guessing an 'indirect' block, i.e. an interior node in a tree structure whose leaves are disk blocks, if you know what I mean...
[07:18] <frostero> maybe offa mysql
[07:19] <IcarianHeights> the future is predetermined by the character of those who make it
[07:19] <frostero> and possibly RoR
[07:19] <A_J> bullgard4,
[07:19] <A_J> pm ?
[07:20] <bullgard4> Loshki: And, in contrast, what are dind blocks?
[07:21] <Loshki> bullgard4: dual indirect, parents of indirect? I haven't looked at this stuff for a long time. You should confirm this by googling unix files system or some such...
[07:22] <skurakai> Hi. I have trouble with ubuntu 10.10 after i install some games from Software Centrum.

[07:27] <kstar66> I also use it for other servers.
[07:27] <vooze> are you running it though wine?
[07:27] <skurakai> on linux are many nice irc clients
[07:27] <skurakai> or multiclient like Pidgin
[07:27] <kstar66> can your recommend some?
[07:28] <vooze> i use xchat, thats quite close to mIRC
[07:28] <kstar66> yeah I use pidgin for AIM and a few others

[07:30] <x20twelve> hello
[07:30] <x20twelve> ------->nexeh yu still on?
[07:31] <Loshki> skurakai: it is a difficult problem to debug. In the end, it might be simpler to reinstall from scratch. Do you have any important data on the machine?
[07:31] <chalcedony> frostero, windows or linux?
[07:32] <skurakai> Loshki: No. Only setting and software
[07:32] <kstar66> http://s1219.photobucket.com/albums/dd426/kstar66/?action=view&current=Screenshot-1.png

[07:34] <superlinkx> Hey everyone, my computer keeps crashing on any kernel newer than 2.6.32. Does anyone know how I can fix it? I suspect graphics issues, but haven't been able to find a fix. Loads fine, but crashes between a few minutes and a few hours, and often times I cannot boot into that kernel after a crash.
[07:34] <kstar66> is anyone else in here using a modified version of jolicloud on a netbook??
[07:34] <chalcedony> frostero, because i don't know your product, I can't google to find 'the perfect sytem' however i got a list of results with: inventory system software ubuntu
[07:34] <Loshki> skurakai: you can reinstall then. What version were you running?
[07:35] <frostero> im on the latest release of ubuntu server
[07:35] <A_J>  my current resolution is 1024 X 768, my monitor supports upto 1280 X 1024 anyway i can increase it ? I use to get this resolution in windows.. Using On-board Graphic Motherboard : Asus P5GC-MX

[07:41] <frostero> i have looked at a few, but haven't found a good fit
[07:41] <frostero> so i figured i would test some heads here and see if someone had better options
[07:41] <superlinkx> Ok. I will try that as well, but I'm thinking it may be a ubuntu issue. Actually, I believe it has something to do with video drivers, as that's what people have mentioned so far. I've seen a couple kinds of crashes, usually involving the GUI to turn off and either errors to display or just a black screen and frozen white cursor. I have a Radeon HD 4650 and I have heard there may be driver issues in the newer kernels, but I can't s
[07:41] <frostero> ati support sucks balls on ubuntu
[07:42] <frostero> its getting better tho
[07:42] <frostero> its getting better across all linux platforms
[07:42] <slava> what do i install to get make, gcc, and all the headers
[07:43] <superlinkx> frostero: yeah I noticed that ATI support is hit and miss. I really like their cards, and I need to get a better one, but running linux can be a bit painful with them.
[07:43] <frostero> totally
[07:43] <frostero> i will say this though
[07:43] <Loshki> slave: sudo apt-get install build-essential usually does the trick...
[07:43] <frostero> me and a bro of mine set up a newer vaio laptop not to long ago
[07:44] <superlinkx> slava: do sudo apt-get install make gcc

[07:49] <frostero> my bad
[07:49] <Gnea> no worries
[07:50] <tiox> Let me link to the page's guides I have followed.
[07:51] <Loshki> bullgard4: cd doesn't work the way you think it does. Try 'sudo -i' to get a shell and then cd...

[07:52] <tiox> This guide was appearently a prereq, installing Nautilus Elementary: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/09/install-nautilus-elementary-in-ubuntu.html

[07:55] <twur> Krishnandu: Have you tried using ndiswrapper?
[07:56] <Krishnandu> twur, Nope, didn't tried anything, just connected the device.
[07:56] <twur> Krishnandu: ndiswrapper lets you use the windows driver
[07:56] <Krishnandu> twur, I don't have the driver, windows 7 detected it's driver automatically
[07:56] <frostero> chalcedony: thats not open source
[07:56] <skilz> col0ur, Why don't you want to upgrade?

[07:57] <frostero> not really
[07:57] <twur> Krishnandu: You can download it, probably from the Belkin web site
[07:57] <frostero> i have found a few
[07:57] <Krishnandu> Okies...thanks, let's try twur :)
[07:57] <frostero> really im just looking for something a bit easier to implement

[07:59] <chalcedony> frostero, i'll guess that you have spent some time working with it, perhaps what you need is someone to do some coding for you?
[07:59] <Krishnandu> Lemme search in Belkin's site

[08:07] <tehbaut> I thought that having hfsprogs allowed me to write to HFS+ formatted partitions...
[08:08] <tehbaut> do I need to mount manually, rather than via nautilus/disk utility?
[08:08] <col0ur> gkasinath, ya me neither
[08:08] <frostero> llutz: partner repo?
[08:08] <Dementio> running 10.10 with geforce gt430, using pulseaudio for audio. it outputs stereo only atm, trying to get it to output 5.1
[08:08] <chalcedony> frostero did you consider contacting the developers and explaining that their product won't work with the new ubuntu and asking what their plans are?
[08:08] <Guest33316> How to set default mounted subvolume back to main?
[08:08] <col0ur> gkasinath, what do? D:
[08:08] <llutz_> frostero: to get sun-java6-jdk you need to enable the partner-repo, yes. check your sources or ask your admin to do that
[08:08] <gkasinath> col0ur, can you try a sudo lshw?
[08:08] <frostero> i was hoping the openjdk would take care of the java end
[08:09] <frostero> llutz, i am the admin
[08:09] <col0ur> gkasinath, sure
[08:09] <frostero> its my server
[08:09] <frostero> a_j
[08:09] <col0ur> gkasinath, test@billy:~/Desktop$ sudo lshw
[08:09] <col0ur> sudo: lshw: command not found
[08:09] <frostero> you running nvidia?
[08:09] <llutz_> frostero: then you should know how to work with sources
[08:09] <llutz_> (repos)
[08:09] <A_J> yea
[08:09] <gkasinath> hhmm thats weird.
[08:09] <frostero> like i said before my skills with admin are not comparable to my coding
[08:09] <A_J> no, no nvidia
[08:09] <chalcedony> frostero you may wish to contact the team(s) responsible for the different parts you need
[08:10] <A_J> just onboard GFX
[08:10] <Dementio> damn windows
[08:10] <Dementio> so, anyone good with audio?
[08:10] <llutz_> frostero: add to your sources.list a line like "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu maverick partner"
[08:10] <llutz_> frostero: apt-get update   then
[08:10] <gkasinath> col0ur, try installing it

[08:11] <Dementio> do nvidia hdmi cards need snd_hda_intel modules?
[08:13] <coder2> accidentely i have pemanantely deleted some important data via shift+delete...............how can i recover them???please help
[08:14] <frostero> thanx llutz/chalcdony: updating, gonna try to rerun java jdk
[08:14] <tsimpson> Dementio: snd_hda_intel is the Intel High Definition Audio driver, not a graphics driver
[08:14] <gka> Question - SVN repo set up - anybody?
[08:15] <frostero> A_J: figure out what graphics your board is running
[08:15] <Dementio> (tsimpson): i realise that, but i'm using hdmi on the nvidia card, so a sound module is needed
[08:15] <llutz_> tsimpson: but needed for sound over hdmi
[08:15] <Dementio> i'm trying to get the card to output 5.1. atm, it's only outputing stereo
[08:15] <coder2> how can i restore my deleted data in ubuntu lucid??
[08:15] <jacekowski> you can't
[08:15] <jacekowski> not easily
[08:16] <jacekowski> photorec may help
[08:16] <col0ur> gka, http://pastebin.com/Vx4NJHHb
[08:16] <llutz_> coder2: easiest: restore from backup
[08:16] <jacekowski> but otherwise nothing will help
[08:16] <Dr_Willis> depends on how the data was lost also.
[08:16] <frostero> hey llutz
[08:16] <Dr_Willis> and what FS it was on.
[08:16] <frostero> jdk is installing
[08:16] <frostero> thanx broseph
[08:17] <gka> col0ur, looking at it. Thanks
[08:17] <coder2> llutz_: i was not having backup
[08:17] <col0ur> gka, thanks :)
[08:17] <frostero> good lookiin out
[08:17] <frostero> im gonna go puke in the closet like kesha
[08:17] <tsimpson> gka: see https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/cvs-server.html
[08:18] <Dementio> anyone ever had any lluck getting output to 5.1?
[08:18] <gka> Thanks tsimpson, well, I just discovered http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/index.html
[08:18] <frostero> dang i feel retarded, i shoulda dug through the repository info more
[08:18] <gka> col0ur, Yours is a broadcom card.
[08:18] <frostero> sorry guy
[08:18] <gka> col0ur, BCM4312 802.11b/g
[08:18] <tsimpson> Dementio: have you seen https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SurroundSound ?
[08:18] <col0ur> gka, ah ok
[08:18] <col0ur> so the card is still there
[08:19] <col0ur> but it just doesn't make the connect from "wifi card -> eth1"
[08:19] <Dementio> (tsimpson): haven't seen that one yet, thanks
[08:20] <bonjoyee> how to add/install en_GB locale?
[08:20] <gka> col0ur, it's bizzare dmesg doesnt list any broadcom at all.
[08:20] <col0ur> ya eh?
[08:21] <col0ur> this happened once to me before
[08:21] <col0ur> i can't remember how i fixed it
[08:21] <gka> col0ur, have you tried http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=ubuntu+8.04+BCM4312+802.11b/g&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=
[08:21] <frostero> anyone know why the latest ubuntu dist obsoleted java jdk in fav of openjdk?
[08:21] <gka> col0ur, the first set of results seem to give a few tips
[08:22] <col0ur> wiill try
[08:22] <gka> okie
[08:22] <col0ur> then again, im not sure if that's the issue. it spontaneously stopped working after a restart, and that hibernate thing happened too
[08:23] <frostero> this kesha album is freaking retarded if you listen to the lyrics
[08:23] <col0ur> gka, then again, im not sure if that's the issue. it spontaneously stopped working after a restart, and that hibernate thing happened too
[08:23] <bonjoyee> frostero: its not...you have to enable the partnet repos!
[08:23] <bonjoyee> partner*
[08:23] <frostero> thats not what the site says
[08:24] <bonjoyee> frostero: but sure its in the repos!
[08:24] <tsimpson> frostero: Sun open-sourced Java, so openjdk should work just as well as Suns. but you can still install and use the Sun JDK if you wish
[08:25] <frostero> but the site is saying to install openjdk not javajdk, i am sure that it works regardless but im just pissed cauz i was mis informed
[08:25] <tsimpson> the default is the open source version, because Ubuntu uses open source wherever possible
[08:25] <frostero> yea
[08:25] <frostero> i get that
[08:25] <frostero> its just bad info i guess
[08:25] <frostero> or bad info on the site
[08:26] <frostero> something like that
[08:26] <gka> col0ur, I m not sure what's up with the system. You could try the forums to see if anyone else has had the exact same problem.
[08:26] <frostero> i got java SDK installing now, thanx llutz
[08:26] <col0ur> :/ okay then
[08:26] <col0ur> Hello, I'm on 8.04 (please no upgrade comments). My wireless was working fine until today, when I restarted, and only wired was available. At the same time, the Hibernate option, which wasn't previous available from the Shut Down menu, appeared on said menu. It appears to simply not be detecting eth1 at all (which is my wireless interface). Any ideas?
[08:26] <gka> col0ur, sorry I couldnt be any useful.
[08:27] <col0ur> gka, that's OK thanks anyway
[08:27] <coder2> which tool can help me recovering my data???please help
[08:27] <gka> bye all
[08:27] <sacarlson> col0ur: if it was working you might want to know if the wifi device is set to active with command rfkill list
[08:28] <llutz_> coder2: try photorec
[08:28] <frostero> coder2: you got another desktop or laptop and a usb external you can stick a drive in?
[08:28] <Dementio> what's the meta package for gnome?
[08:29] <coder2> frostero: yes
[08:29] <frostero> pull your drive
[08:29] <tsimpson> Dementio: you probably want ubuntu-desktop
[08:29] <frostero> pop it in the external, plug it into another box and copy your data
[08:29] <frostero> unless its encrypted
[08:29] <frostero> if it was i doubt you would be asking the question
[08:30] <Dementio> (tsimpson): that's close, but it installs a LOT of stuff i don't want
[08:30] <motz> hi
[08:30] <coder2> frostero: then what is the next step??
[08:30] <sacarlson> col0ur: but I think the device would still be seen with iwconfig if that was the case,  you should also look at what is seen with iwconfig
[08:31] <col0ur> ok
[08:31] <col0ur> test@billy:~/Desktop$ iwconfig
[08:31] <col0ur> lo        no wireless extensions.
[08:31] <col0ur> eth0      no wireless extensions.
[08:31] <col0ur> vboxnet0  no wireless extensions.
[08:31] <llutz_> !info gnome | Dementio
[08:31] <FloodBot3> col0ur: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:31] <tsimpson> Dementio: there is "gnome-desktop-environment" too
[08:31] <Dementio> (tsimpson): yeah, just found that one
[08:31] <frostero> well if you box you plugged the drive into through a usb external drive adaptation reads the drive then you should just open the drive and copy it to a local location
[08:31] <Dementio> it's a little slower looking for packages from command line
[08:31] <Dementio> lol
[08:32] <motz> I've installed ubunt from live cd, but It doesn't work. As the computer start I am asked a textual login, then I type startx and the computer crashes. I get a blank dark page and all I can do i reset it. ca somebody help me?
[08:32] <java_> Ghraphics card?
[08:32] <frostero> motz, leave it blank and press enter?
[08:32] <Dr_Willis> motz:  and your video card is what exactly?
[08:33] <frostero> freakin ati / linux compatibilities... when will it end?
[08:33] <motz> frostero, I don't know.  Can anyone point me to a guide to setting up a local apt-get cache for my LAN?
[08:36] <frostero> get a earlier dist and burn a new cd
[08:36] <Dr_Willis> motz:  you did verify the md5 of the image? you can tell your video card by checking the output of 'lspci' command also.
[08:36] <frostero> try from that
[08:36] <sacarlson> col0ur: then I assume the rfkill list also returns nothing?
[08:36] <Dementio> (Dr_Willis): thanks, was looking for that file. checked custom.conf, but it kept using last choice
[08:36] <java_> I don't know, PClinux either didn't write to disk well or didn't like my hardware.
[08:36] <frostero> i agree Dr_Willis
[08:36] <frostero> did you verify it?
[08:37] <ssokolow_> One of my PCs has several hundred gigs of free space, so I'd prefer to cache everything possible.
[08:37] <col0ur> sacarlson, what is rfkill/
[08:37] <frostero> ssokolow_: you wanna cache several hundred gigs?
[08:37] <Dr_Willis> ssokolow_:  install the apt-cacher-ng program on one box on the lan. and let it cache the pacakges for the rest of the lan.
[08:38] <Dr_Willis> ssokolow_:  as for cacheing othe rthings.. theres  a few http/web cachers out there. but i dont use those.
[08:38] <ssokolow_> frostero, I'm saying I have several hundred gigs free.
[08:38] <frostero> ah
[08:38] <ssokolow_> Dr_Willis, *nod* Already planning to use Polipo for HTTP since, as I understand, it'll cache HTTP 1.1 Range requests like partial YouTube requests better than Squid.
[08:38] <frostero> ic
[08:39] <java_> Top ten things linux users know they should do but consistently don't: #9 Check the MD5 sum on downloads that will eventually be written to write once media.
[08:39] <frostero> your fukd
[08:39] <motz> frostero, now i was writing in textual mode and the computer crashed. Why?
[08:39] <frostero> check your logs
[08:39] <motz> now I can only restart
[08:40] <java_> Are you getting an error message when you have to restart?
[08:40] <ssokolow_> All that's really left is to lock down BitTorrent to a single shared WebUI for the house, decide on an FTP cache, thank my ISP for capping to 64kbit once overage kicks in so I never pay more than the rounded-up $1.90 for the first overage gig, and design an "inverse BitTorrent" to make SneakerNet a viable mitigation option.
[08:40] <motz> no
[08:40] <Dr_Willis> motz:  sounds like you are either having some hardware issues, or currupted files when you installed.
[08:40] <tsimpson> ssokolow_: there is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptProxy or https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Debmirror or the apt-mirror tool
[08:41] <motz> What if i try the live cd 64 instead of the 32 one?
[08:41] <ssokolow_> tsimpson, Thanks.
[08:41] <frostero> is your hardware capable of a 64 bit sys?
[08:41] <frostero> are your running a 32 live now?
[08:42] <motz> I don't know. I just bought a new laptop, so I guess it is advanced
[08:42] <java_> Is a processor named on a label somewhere?
[08:42] <frostero> try running a 32bit live first
[08:42] <java_> Like "AMD 64"?
[08:42] <motz> frostero, yes, I'm running a 32 now
[08:43] <frostero> get a hardware profile for the laptop
[08:43] <motz> the processor is a intel dual core
[08:43] <java_> And it doesn't advertise being 64 bit?
[08:43] <frostero> sometimes linux doesnt deal with multicore very effectively
[08:43] <frostero> it happens
[08:44] <motz> frostero, so, what do you suggest me?
[08:44] <Dr_Willis> motz:  brand new (as in just came out this month) laptops can be very problematic.
[08:45] <frostero> motz:http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/get-ubuntu/download
[08:45] <Dr_Willis> motz:  You might watnt to test the next reelase ( but  it IS in testing right now)
[08:45] <frostero> try the lastest and see what happens
[08:45] <frostero> 1010 has been really solid for me
[08:45] <motz> Dr_Willis, which release, the 10.10?
[08:46] <Dr_Willis> motz:  with any of the releases.. over the years.. every time i get a 'brand new' laptop. it seems i often have issues. untill the next release after the laptop came out.
[08:46] <Dr_Willis> some times trivial, some times not.
[08:46] <simone-malluzzoo> ciaoo
[08:46] <simone-malluzzoo> !list
[08:46] <Dr_Willis> i would test out 11.04 on it. and file any bugs if it dosent work properly.
[08:46] <motz> Could you have better chances with other, distro, like debian for instance?
[08:47] <frostero> motz:google is your friend, you need to exactly identify you problem before you can diagnose it tho
[08:47] <motz> frostero, I'm not able to do this
[08:47] <frostero> keep your logs running strong and you will
[08:47] <java_> Why?
[08:47] <_`-`> in other news, banshee has managed to royally screw my iPod
[08:47] <Dr_Willis> motz:  You need to research what video card chipset the thing has, and be sure you had a good 'cd' made. or boot/install from a flash drive.
[08:47] <frostero> take nots
[08:48] <frostero> notes
[08:48] <frostero> boot log that biatch
[08:48] <motz> Dr_Willis, what is a flash drive?
[08:48] <frostero> wow
[08:48] <frostero> really

[08:48] <frostero> har
[08:48] <java_> Lol, sorry.
[08:49] <frostero> i need some more beer after that comment
[08:49] <java_> I think the flooding was warranted though.
[08:49] <frostero> hmm
[08:49] <frostero> bbiab, gonna see what kind of gain I can make on my issue
[08:50] <frostero> laterz y0
[08:50] <frostero> thanx for the help yalzz
[08:50] <java_> Lol, I still have a laptop that won't turn on.
[08:50] <sacarlson> col0ur: but from reading your pastebin above it seems it's an unclaimed device so it has no drivers attached,  I guess you will have to manually modprobe the 5 or so drivers that are available for that device untill you find the one that works,  you should see what's presently blacklisted
[08:55] <Dr_Willis> seems ive been getting a lot more lag/disconnects on freenode lately.. anyone else been seeing this issue?
[08:56] <tehbaut> Could someone tell me how to "burn several discs" in Brasero? Simply hitting the "Burn Several Discs" button doesn't appear to actually do anything...
[08:56] <ikonia> Dr_Willis: #freenode is the place, but yes
[08:56] <Dr_Willis> tehbaut:  ive noticed issues with that and some systems. it depends on jhow they eject the disk. some laptops have issues ive found where they cant prtoperly eject. so they get confused when a new disk is inserted.
[08:56] <Dr_Willis> tehbaut:  you may want to try some other burning tool. Brassero is often.. well.. problematic.
[08:57] <tehbaut> durn, I already made my file selection and pared it down
[08:57] <johnm> rename u13 u_ser_13_fb
[08:57] <johnm> save
[08:57] <java_> So, just a question, of the three, Dell, HP, Apple (mac), which ones users do IT guys stereotype as being the stupidest? (Not trollin.)
[08:57] <tehbaut> I guess I'll just remove some more, and do a second disc manually
[08:57] <Dr_Willis> tehbaut:  make a single iso of the disk to the HD. perhaps. . then you can burn copies easially.
[08:57] <sacarlson> Dr_Willis: I assumed my disconects were my isp changing my ip address,  I see it on average about 2 times a day but sometimes more
[08:57] <ikonia> johnm: you've done that twice now, what's the problem ?
[08:58] <tehbaut> bah, Brasero just crashed :/
[08:58] <java_> Brasero, kinda sucks.
[08:58] <Dr_Willis> tehbaut:  yea. Brasero really should be replaced with somthing else..
[08:58] <tehbaut> why's it included then?! :P
[08:58] <Dr_Willis> tehbaut:  we often ask that on the forums... :)
[08:59] <Dr_Willis> !burn
[08:59] <java_> The same reason you get rhythmbox instead of amorak (LolJK)
[08:59] <Dr_Willis> personally i tend to use k3b.
[08:59] <Dr_Willis> gtoaster is not to bad.
[08:59] <Dr_Willis> depends on your needs.
[08:59] <col0ur> sacarlson,
[08:59] <col0ur> sacarlson, thanks!
[09:00] <sacarlson> col0ur: so it worked?
[09:01] <MrMintanet> Hey fellas/ladie3s
[09:01] <MrMintanet> Got a question really quick, if anyone is awake out there.
[09:01] <ikonia> just ask it
[09:01] <col0ur> sacarlson, im not too sure how to find what to modprobe, but thanks for continuing to help :)
[09:01] <java_> we all live by the glow of the terminal.
[09:01] <Dementio> (Dr_Willis): friggin finally, omg thank you
[09:01] <Dementio> finally
[09:01] <MrMintanet> I am presently on an old machine that I haven't used in a while.  10.10 is installed on it... (continuing)
[09:02] <MrMintanet> I wanted to know how the disk drives were setup
[09:02] <Dr_Willis> Dementio:  Huh? :) what was it.
[09:02] <Dementio> i honestly don't know
[09:02] <MrMintanet> I went to disk utility and it shows I have two 1TB drives
[09:02] <Dr_Willis> MrMintanet:  'sudo fdisk -l' to see their layout.
[09:02] <Dr_Willis> or gparted. or that disk utility can show. but i tend to use fdisk -l, or gparted.
[09:02] <MrMintanet> Well, my question was-  How can I setup uTorrent to download to either disk, because when I go to "Computer", I see nothing but "file sysetem" and the optical drive.
[09:03] <Dementio> i installed gnone-desktop, and an alsa update, and then there was a pulseaudio update
[09:03] <assurbanipal> hi guys. I need to find a way to convert dicom video files to something more compatible... is this possible under ubuntu?would definatelly prefere a gui thingy!!tnxz in advance!!
[09:03] <Dementio> so who knows
[09:03] <Dementio> all i know is i finally have 5.1 in mkv's and dvd
[09:03] <Dr_Willis> MrMintanet:  you tell the torrent to dowload to a directory. are you saying you dont understand the filesystem layout and mountpoints of all the disks on the system? The mount command will show whats mounted where.
[09:03] <MrMintanet> Well, that was my question, I'm not sure how to test if this is a raid or not
[09:03] <Dementio> now just hope it'll all work when i switch it to a blu-ray drive monday
[09:03] <Dr_Willis> MrMintanet:  its possible the filesystems on the other disks are not mounted anywhere.
[09:04] <MrMintanet> May I copy/paste the results from sudo fdisk -l?  If so, what is the link to do that?\
[09:04] <Dr_Willis> MrMintanet:  start with fdisk, and mount.
[09:04] <Dr_Willis> !pastebin | MrMintanet
[09:04] <ikonia> MrMintanet: if it's raid or not isn't really anything to do with Linux, unless you are using Linux softrware raid, in which case that would show in the disk tool
[09:04] <Dr_Willis> MrMintanet:  you may want to install the pastebinit command - it makes pasting that info easier.
[09:05] <MrMintanet> http://paste.ubuntu.com/560145/
[09:05] <Dementio> (Dr_Willis): it was linux-alsa-driver-modules-2.6.35-25-generic that i installed
[09:05] <MrMintanet> I'm not sure how I configured this, and I was hoping someone could not only tell me what kind of disk configuration I have setup, but if they could also explain the logic behind the sudo fdisk -l command and the results I receive
[09:05] <Dementio> and a PA update
[09:06] <Dementio> who knows which fixed it
[09:06] <MrMintanet> Anyone?
[09:06] <sacarlson> col0ur: you can look at the blacklist file I think at  /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-bcm43.conf or near there,  I think you can try the blacklisted ones to see if they work also see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1418676
[09:06] <Dr_Willis> Hmm MrMintanet  ive no idea what filesystem 'SFS' is on the 2nd hd.. --> /dev/sdb1               1      121602   976761528+  42  SFS
[09:06] <azlobo0> output of the command df -h : if you have a 1TB entry with "/dev/md#" (# == a number) then its a software raid.
[09:06] <Dementio> anyway, i'm out, cya later
[09:06] <MrMintanet> azlobo0, I never setup a software raid with Ubuntu, so I am certain that's not right...
[09:07] <azlobo0> MrMintanet: sounds right - you'd have to have one up.  Does df -h command have any 1TB entries ?
[09:07] <gtroy> MrMintanet: here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-certifying_File_System
[09:07] <Dr_Willis> dynamic disk partitions (SFS in fdisk)
[09:08] <col0ur> sacarlson, http://pastebin.com/hC8PbXeS
[09:08] <MrMintanet> http://paste.ubuntu.com/560146/
[09:08] <ikonia> MrMintanet: if it's raid or not is nothing to do with Linux, the only reason you'd be able to tell is if you did Linux software raid, which you've just said you didn't do
[09:08] <MrMintanet> Kind of annoying that I find something so simple so difficult!!!  Grrrrr!
[09:09] <MrMintanet> Thanks for the help, but I still am confused on what kind of disk configuration I have setup.
[09:09] <MrMintanet> http://paste.ubuntu.com/560146/
[09:09] <ikonia> MrMintanet: not really, boot your box, if it detects a raid disk in the bios, you know it's raid, if it doesn't, it's not raid
[09:09] <ikonia> MrMintanet: as I've said 3 times it's nothing to do with linux
[09:09] <java_> It happens, my hardware switch for my wifi once reversed, not funny.
[09:09] <azlobo0> MrMintanet: based on the output, your / is one of your 1TB drives (906G) and the other does not appear mounted.  did you setup/format a partion on the second drive ?
[09:09] <ikonia> MrMintanet: stop pasting the output of df - it shows nothign of value
[09:09] <Dr_Willis> MrMintanet:  you got everything on sda, single partiion a nd a swap.  No idea what that SFS is on sdb. Try mounting it by hand and seeing whats on there.. if nothing.. then i would reparittion it to be some other more usefull filesystem,
[09:09] <fffddf> after btrfs subvolume set-default , how to make it back
[09:09] <bullgard4> [Live CD] Opening a terminal obtains here the prompt 'ubuntu@ubuntu:~$'. Why does http://gparted.sourceforge.net/larry/tips/save_details.htm obtain the prompt 'root@GParted:~#'?
[09:10] <ikonia> bullgard4: because it's running from a livecd
[09:10] <sacarlson> col0ur: I"ve already seen that,  you need to try look at that after each modprobe attempt,  example sudo modprobe b43; sudo lspci -v
[09:10] <Dr_Willis> bullgard4:  beause its just the Prompt PS1 settings showing the  user/hostname.
[09:10] <ikonia> bullgard4: or someones set the PS1 prompt,
[09:10] <col0ur> sacarlson, kk will try
[09:10] <bullgard4> ikonia: Both men are running from a Live CD.
[09:10] <Dr_Willis> the ~ in the prompt is the 'current working directory' in most cases.
[09:11] <MrMintanet> Could this be a mirrored raid?
[09:11] <Dr_Willis> bullgard4:  the 2 live cds can be set up differntly
[09:11] <MrMintanet> Ugh
[09:11] <MrMintanet> Ok, I'll reboot
[09:11] <MrMintanet> Cya soon!

[09:11] <sacarlson> col0ur: I don't know what driver you had that worked so a look at the blacklist will give you a clue
[09:11] <ikonia> bullgard4: yes, but the gparted project on sourceforge is not run from the ubuntu livecd
[09:11] <llutz_> Dr_Willis: ~ == $HOME
[09:11] <Jordan_U> bullgard4: Ubuntu's liveCD logs you in as user "ubuntu". GParted's logs you in as root.
[09:11] <col0ur> ok
[09:11] <azlobo0> MrMintanet: just guessing at layout, but try fdisk -l /dev/sdb
[09:11] <Dr_Willis> llutz_:  which is the guys current dir at the time. :) so yes..
[09:12] <Dr_Willis> bullgard4:  the last character # vs $ is also commonly used to indicate a 'root' shell vs a normal users shell.
[09:12] <col0ur> sacarlson, http://pastebin.com/vvPCpL5z
[09:12] <bullgard4> Jordan_U: Does there exist a "Gparted Live CD'?
[09:12] <Jordan_U> bullgard4: Yes.
[09:12] <bazhang> bullgard4, yes
[09:12] <Dr_Willis> bullgard4:  yes theres is a gparted live cd.  I use them all the time
[09:13] <sacarlson> col0ur: probly mean the sta driver was used
[09:13] <col0ur> sacarlson, what is that?
[09:13] <Dr_Willis> bullgard4:  theres also a nice 'system rescue live cd' that includes gpared and other tools.
[09:13] <Dr_Willis> bullgard4:  i alwyas keep a ubuntu cd, system rescue cd. and gparted live cd, in my PC tool box.
[09:13] <bullgard4> Jordan_U, bazhang,  Dr_Willis: Ah! Thank you very much for explaining.
[09:13] <col0ur> Dr_Willis, :)
[09:14] <Jordan_U> bullgard4: You're welcome.
[09:14] <Dr_Willis> actually i got a usb flash drive also set up with all 3 (and more) on it.
[09:14] <sacarlson> col0ur: I think it's the propriatary driver normaly installed with System>admin>hardware drivers
[09:14] <bullgard4> Dr_Willis: I should do likewise in the future.
[09:14] <Dr_Willis> Dosent everyone have a little toolbox, with screwdrivers, parts, and spare system disks..? :)
[09:15] <col0ur> Dr_Willis, not as many as should
[09:15] <java_> Yes.
[09:15] <bullgard4> ikonia: Yes, apparently someone set the PS1 prompt differently. --  Thank you.
[09:16] <java_> If you don't your failing computers 101. The difference is what's IN the toolbox.

[09:18] <col0ur> what can i do?
[09:18] <sacarlson> col0ur:  so the sta driver name should have the name wl  so you might be able to try sudo modprobe wl  ; sudo lspci -v

[09:23] <ikonia> frostero: a lot of people use that ISO - I would expect a ton of discusison in here and in bug reports if there was a problem

[09:33] <frostero> btw, if anyone is looking for a new case i have tons for a super deal
[09:33] <frostero> 10th the cost of retails
[09:33] <frostero> retail
[09:33] <yondering> java_, why do you say that?  I only use Nvidia gpu in my desktop workstations.
[09:33] <MrMintanet> Hey
[09:33] <MrMintanet> All worked out great
[09:33] <MrMintanet> It's just a separate drive
[09:33] <bullgard4> I'd like to move to the left and enlarge my /home partition using GParted. I obtained 3 times: "Input/output error while reading from /dev/sda." (http://paste.ubuntu.com/560143). But the sector number was different each time. --  How to proceed?
[09:33] <ikonia> yondering: looking at the support drivers page there are not drivers in the 10.10 nvidia package, although I'm not certain.
[09:33] <MrMintanet> Ok, so next question-  How do I get this spare drive to mount on every startup?
[09:34] <ikonia> bullgard4: are you running from a livecd ?
[09:34] <bullgard4> ikonia: Yes.
[09:34] <Gnea> ikonia: it's been out for awhile now, used mostly in nettops and mini-itx
[09:34] <ikonia> MrMintanet: put it in /etc/fstab
[09:34] <ikonia> Gnea: never heard of it,
[09:34] <motz> frostero, here's my hardware: http://pastebin.com/sjj5F2pi . Do you have any suggestion?
[09:34] <MrMintanet> ikonia, I am a highly novice user
[09:34] <frostero> coolermaster atcs-840, 100 bones... new
[09:34] <MrMintanet> What do you mean, "put it in /etc/fstab"?
[09:34] <yondering> ikonia, cool, thanks.  I've been considering (drooling) over an Asus 12" netbook for some time. =/
[09:34] <ikonia> MrMintanet: ok, open the file /etc/fstab, look at the entries for / use that as a template to add the second disk
[09:35] <frostero> 250-300 hundy new
[09:35] <MrMintanet> ikonia, can you try to talk down on my level?  I have no idea what you are saying.  Perhaps I should go back to windows?  I really wish I could do simple things, but it seems that I constantly have to rely on CLI and I really don't understand much ofi t.
[09:35] <Gnea> ikonia: http://www.nvidia.com/object/sff_ion.html
[09:35] <ikonia> MrMintanet: if you want to go back to windows, go back to windows if that's easier for you
[09:36] <MrMintanet> Ok, can you talk down on my level, or do you not know how?
[09:36] <ikonia> Gnea: pretty much the link I'm just reading
[09:36] <MrMintanet> If you have trouble communicating, I understand.  I appreciate you trying to help.
[09:36] <MrDudle> MrMintanet: no one here wants to do everything for you
[09:36] <ikonia> MrMintanet: open the file /etc/fstab, look at the entry for your / mount point.
[09:36] <MrMintanet> Wow.
[09:36] <Gnea> MrMintanet: have you tried #ubuntu-beginners?
[09:36] <ikonia> MrMintanet: are you able to do/see that ?
[09:36] <MrMintanet> I will go there.
[09:36] <MrMintanet> I apologize for asking simple questions.
[09:36] <ikonia> MrMintanet: I'm walking you through it
[09:36] <MrMintanet> No you are not
[09:36] <MrMintanet> Goodbye
[09:37] <aurilliance> I'm looking for a screen ruler that lets me measure either by drawing a rectangle (and giving me the size of the box), or by letting me draw a ruler in any direction.
[09:37] <aurilliance> http://gnomecoder.wordpress.com/screenruler/ is close, however it is constrained to horizontal and vertical
[09:37] <MrDudle> i hope he goes back to windows
[09:37] <yondering> wow.
[09:37] <ikonia> MrMintanet: there is no need to apologise for asking a question
[09:37] <ikonia> MrDudle: no need for that
[09:37] <java_> *pssst, he's like me when I started, and doesn't know what a directory is.*
[09:37] <Gnea> he left
[09:37] <MrDudle> oh he's already gone ikonia
[09:37] <vooze> What filesystem should i use for my external harddrive? Its currentl msdos from when i was using windows.. but it sucks on ubuntu linux.. I use it for backup, mediacenter etc. (boxee mediacenter)
[09:37] <Gnea> MrDudle: that sort of attitude really doesn't fit in here
[09:38] <MrDudle> Gnea: sure it does when someone doesn't even want to think
[09:38] <Gnea> MrDudle: no, no it doesn't.
[09:38] <MrDudle> Gnea: people should want to think
[09:39] <MrDudle> not have it done for them
[09:39] <Gnea> MrDudle: if you can't be patient with people, then you have no business trying to follow the CoC
[09:39] <MrDudle> CoC?
[09:39] <Gnea> !coc | MrDudle
[09:39] <ikonia> MrDudle: either help them - or don't, but it's not up to you to state what people should want to do
[09:39] <MrDudle> you can't help those who don't want to be helped
[09:39] <Gnea> MrDudle: and if you refuse to follow the CoC, then you have no place here.
[09:40] <Gnea> well he obviously came here in the first place
[09:40] <ikonia> MrDudle: then don't help them, but don't make comments,
[09:40] <sacarlson> aurilliance: maybe qcad http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=qcad
[09:40] <Gnea> therefore, he was looking for help. but if you aren't flexible enough to understand how to help someone, because not everyone needs the same type of help all the time, then what good are you?
[09:40] <ikonia> back to the topic....
[09:40] <aurilliance> sacarlson, thanks mate
[09:40] <java_> If people are trying to help the guy, and you jump in with a bedsheet over your head and spook em...
[09:40] <ikonia> java_: enough
[09:41] <MrDudle> oh please
[09:41] <java_> Okay
[09:41] <MrDudle> he said he didn't know how to open a file
[09:41] <ikonia> MrDudle: enough
[09:41] <ikonia> MrDudle: final request, enough
[09:41] <Gnea> MrDudle: take the trollish attitude and stuff it.
[09:41] <MrDudle> lol
[09:41] <ikonia> Gnea: enough
[09:41] <skilz_> when I try to ssh to my other box I get @    WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED!     @
[09:41] <tonghuix> 请求了音乐信使会话。请单击 MM 图标接受。
[09:42] <Dr_Willis> skilz_:  your ssh keys have changed for some reason.
[09:42] <Gnea> ikonia: sorry, it just gets on my nerves how inconsiderate some people can be at times
[09:42] <java_> IPcheck?
[09:42] <ikonia> skilz_: looks like the box at the other end has either changed (differnt box/rebuild) or had it's keys re-generated
[09:42] <Dr_Willis> skilz_:  this is on a local lan? over the internet?
[09:42] <skilz_> local lan
[09:43] <skilz_> I just installed ubuntu on it and installed the package 'ssh'
[09:43] <Dcite> skilz_: Is it re-using an IP from earlier?
[09:43] <home> привет
[09:43] <skilz_> hmm, I used to have a different box using the same ip address, could that be the prob?
[09:43] <skilz_> yes
[09:43] <sacarlson> skilz_: I think that happens when the system dhcp ip address has changed for that box connected to before
[09:43] <Dcite> !ru | home
[09:43] <Dr_Willis> skilz_:  so the ip has stayed the same. and you did a reinstall.. you proberly want to remove the incorrect key in your ~/.ssh/known_hosts
[09:43] <ArtVandalae> Hi guys, I'm using Ubuntu 10.04, i386, Intel sound (so drivers should be pretty sweet). And every X number of days of uptime, my sound stops working. I kill pulseaudio, but that does not fix it. Can anyone help me get to the root of this issue? i.e. Is there any other services that I can reset (other than a full system reboot)?
[09:43] <motz> frostero, I started ubuntu in "try mode", from cd and it works perfectly. What does that mean?
[09:44] <skilz_> Dr_Willis, do I do that on this box or the one I can't ssh to?
[09:44] <Dr_Willis> skilz_:  your local box keeps a cache of known hosts.. thats the one sending you the warning.
[09:44] <skilz_> ah k
[09:45] <skilz_> Dr_Willis, what do I change? its one BIG LONG line of jibberish
[09:46] <Dr_Willis> skilz_:  thers  one line for each host you have sshed to..
[09:46] <Dcite> skilz_: It should have given you some sort of line number with the warning.
[09:46] <Dr_Willis> if theres just 1 line for one host.. delete the line then
[09:46] <yondering> skilz_, iirc.. delete the entire line, save the file, and try to shell into the other box again.
[09:46] <skilz_> what about if I just rm the file?
[09:46] <yondering> skilz_, that'll work too.
[09:46] <Dcite> Dr_Willis: As for more recent versions I don't think raw ip/addresses are shown anymore.
[09:47] <tehbaut> for some reason, I can't delete a certain partition (HFS+ formatted) in Disk Utility, even though I have hfsprogs installed... any idea why, or how to get it to delete?
[09:47] <Dr_Willis> skilz_:  hats another way
[09:47] <Dcite> skilz_: rm would work, but it's a poor security choice normally.
[09:47] <Dr_Willis> tehbaut:  try gparted.
[09:48] <Gigabyte> hy
[09:48] <skilz_> ok awesome, problem solved, thanks guys but one more problem I do have, hmm yessss
[09:48] <Dr_Willis> I wouldent think hfsprogs would be needed to delete a hfs partition.
[09:48] <DrummerBoy38> it is not just up to me. it is up to them. they are the owners. they will decide if it will function. there are thousand and thousands of other people who have had contact like me and it continue to this day.
[09:48] <skilz_> Im having a big problem, I have 2 pcs with ubuntu networked, let's call this pc1 (my pc) and pc2 (my girlfriends)... pc1 can browse the network shares on pc2, but pc2 cannot browse the network shares on pc1???
[09:48] <ikonia> a partition is just a partition, the file system doesn't matter
[09:48] <tehbaut> Dr_Willis: gparted always crashes because the disk contains partially copied partitions... but this partition I'm trying to delete is whole
[09:49] <Dr_Willis> tehbaut:  theres always the fdisk command i guess..
[09:49] <ikonia> DrummerBoy38: have you logged a bug
[09:49] <Gigabyte> hey i have problem with changing language
[09:49] <Gigabyte> :/
[09:49] <Dr_Willis> skilz_:  you may need to install some of the various samba pacakges on  the pc's some may be missing.
[09:49] <DrummerBoy38> ikonia, I think I have narrowed it down to about 1 cause
[09:50] <ikonia> DrummerBoy38: no, have you logged a bug
[09:50] <Dr_Willis> skilz_:  make a share on pc1,. add see if pc1 can see its own shares.
[09:50] <DrummerBoy38> what are you saying
[09:50] <ikonia> DrummerBoy38: I'm saying "have you logged a bug against xchat"
[09:50] <vooze> Hey.. i just plugged in nr. 2 external harddrive.. should that not be possible? i can only see nr. 1, and NOT nr. 2... both are WD MY books (500GB and 2TB)
[09:50] <tehbaut> Dr_Willis: that command scares me, frankly :P
[09:50] <DrummerBoy38> it is x-chat gnome that is the problem. this x-chat is fine
[09:51] <DrummerBoy38> it is still crashing :O(
[09:51] <ikonia> DrummerBoy38: have you logged a bug against x-chat-gome ?
[09:51] <takoylis> need help enabling sound on my imac
[09:51] <Dr_Willis> tehbaut:  i cant imagine why gparted would crash due to data on the hd pattions.. thats scarier..
[09:51] <takoylis> with ubuntu 10.10 64bit
[09:51] <Dr_Willis> tehbaut:  if you just want to delete things , fdisk isent too hard :)
[09:51] <skilz_> Dr_Willis, yes pc1 can see its own shares
[09:52] <Dr_Willis> skilz_:  you can also try entering the full path to the shares on the pc's using the ip# instead of the hostname. that may get it working.
[09:52] <Dr_Willis>  ie:  smb://<IP_ADDRESS>/sharename
[09:52] <skilz_> ok
[09:52] <skilz_> hey whats that console chat application called
[09:53] <Dr_Willis> skilz_:  i use weechat for the console irc client. theres irssi, and others.
[09:53] <llutz_> skilz_: irssi, weechat
[09:53] <skilz_> you install it on a box and you ssh to it and can chat with each other, used it back in the day can't remember the name
[09:53] <DrummerBoy38> ikonia, a piece of super strong metallic cloth may have protected the alien bug in its space craft.
[09:53] <skilz_> nah not irc client
[09:53] <skilz_> local system chat
[09:53] <takoylis> guys
[09:53] <takoylis> any help?
[09:53] <takoylis> i dont have any sound
[09:54] <takoylis> on my imac
[09:54] <DrummerBoy38> sorry ikonia, i sometimes fuse sentences . one moment
[09:54] <takoylis> !help
[09:54] <ikonia> DrummerBoy38: I just want a yes or no response. "have you logged a bug against x-chat-gnome" ?
[09:54] <pmjp> hello
[09:55] <jpsman> how can i run a .exe using wine from a CD?  it says it needs an executable bit, but I can't change a CD file...
[09:55] <Dr_Willis> takoylis:  theres a lot of different imacs out. You did check the forums
[09:55] <DrummerBoy38> ikonia, no i have not. i had fallen asleep.
[09:55] <Dr_Willis> jpsman:  easy way. use the command line...  wine /media/wheverthecdisat/watever.exe
[09:55] <takoylis> I have NO SOUND on my iMac 21" 3.06 GHZ , Ubuntu 64bit
[09:55] <ikonia> DrummerBoy38: then I suggest you log a bug, as detailed as you can, as nothing will get fixed if people don't know about a bug
[09:55] <motz> frostero, where do I find the logs I have to read?
[09:56] <skilz_> Dr_Willis, 'talk' is what I was trying to think of :)
[09:56] <motz> Dr_Willis, here's my hardware: http://pastebin.com/sjj5F2pi . Do you have any suggestion?
[09:56] <Dr_Willis> motz:  i dont even recall what the original problem was.
[09:57] <bullgard4> I'd like to move to the left and enlarge my /home partition using GParted. I obtained 3 times: "Input/output error while reading from /dev/sda." (http://paste.ubuntu.com/560143). But the sector number was different each time. --  How to proceed?
[09:57] <motz> Dr_Willis, it crashes, i get a blank screen and I just can resete
[09:58] <ikonia> bullgard4: that paste is useless, it's just html
[09:59] <Dr_Willis> motz:  but a live cd works?
[09:59] <Dr_Willis> bullgard4:  io errors coming from HDs are  not a good sign.. You do have backups of anything imporntant?
[09:59] <motz> Dr_Willis, you the "try mode" ?
[09:59] <motz> Dr_Willis, yes, it works
[09:59] <bullgard4> ikonia: I do not understand why the paste is useless. Please elaborate.
[10:00] <Dr_Willis> motz:   thats odd.. it could be some files are messon the cd and you dont have the issue untill they get installed.  or some hd issue.
[10:00] <bullgard4> Dr_Willis: Yes, I do have a backup of /home
[10:00] <ikonia> Dr_Willis: based on the partition table I saw from bullgard4 yesterday, I suspect he's getting IO errors as he's probably trying to move an extended partition outside the bounds of the extended container, or something along those lines
[10:00] <ikonia> bullgard4: because the paste shows a lot of html code,
[10:00] <Dr_Willis> motz:  i would check the md5 of the cd. and perhaps put it on a flash drive. and try a reinstall.
[10:00] <tehbaut> Dr_Willis: well I was able to gparted via terminal, by doing gparted /dev/sdb3 ...and I was able to delete the partition, and now it shows as unallocated. However, the partition is still there, still mountable and still shows up in disk utility... this is ridiculous!
[10:01] <Dr_Willis> tehbaut:  reboot.. the system is using the old patition tabke.
[10:01] <bullgard4> ikonia: The GParted program offers this file output format.
[10:01] <Dr_Willis> tehbaut:  used to be fdisk would say a message aliong the lines 'Warning: system is using old partition table'
[10:01] <ikonia> bullgard4: that doesn't make it good - it's usless
[10:01] <tehbaut> dr
[10:01] <tehbaut> Dr_Willis: yes, this is after rebooting
[10:01] <Dr_Willis> tehbaut:  i rarely notice that issue these days.. disk contro.ers may be smarter.
[10:01] <bullgard4> ikonia: Ah! Understood.
[10:01] <zetheroo> trying to connect a friends machine to a VPN ... the same VPN my system connects to ... and his keeps saying "VPN service failed to start" ... why?
[10:02] <Dr_Willis> tehbaut: also you used gparted /dev/sdb  no sdb3 ?
[10:02] <Guest43412> Hey there
[10:02] <tehbaut> Dr_Willis: no, using just /dev/sdb will crash gparted
[10:02] <abhijeet> hi guys. i m using ubuntu 10.10. but when i checked the "about ubuntu" it is showing "You are using Ubuntu 11.04- the Natty Narwhal - released in April 2011 and supported until October 2012". It's kind of strange.. I have not upgraded my os
[10:02] <Lxs> hello, I'm trying to install ubuntu 10.10 on a hardware raid0, I had Windows 7 on it but grub doesn't show Windows 7 Loader and when I select Ubuntu it shows me BusyBox, what should I do please ?
[10:02] <Dr_Willis> tehbaut:  you got some deeper issues then.   how about just 'sudo fdisk /dev/sdb' ?
[10:03] <tehbaut> Dr_Willis: after rebooting, I re-ran gparted /dev/sdb3 and it still shows as unallocated, so I've no idea what's up
[10:03] <vooze> How can i check the filesystem on my external drive? i can check in properties on one of them (i have 2) but the new one (2TB WD, my book) i cant see what filesystem it uses.. any ideas?
[10:03] <Guest43412> Fkkkk
[10:03] <Dr_Willis> tehbaut:  gparted on /dev/sdb should definatly not be crashing gparted.  Unless theres somthing very weird on the disk layout/partition table.
[10:04] <Dr_Willis> im suprised that gpar5ted /dev/sdb3 even worked..
[10:05] <tehbaut> Dr_Willis: I'm sure there is... I've been using dd to copy other partitions, and some only partially copied, and I may not have even copied the partition table at the front of the disk, so it probably created its own...
[10:05]  * tehbaut shrugs
[10:05] <feiyan> network test
[10:05] <Dr_Willis> in fact.. gparted /dev/sdb3 would seem totally WRONG from what i just tried with it.
[10:05] <linuxtech> I just found something disturbing while cleaning up some old kernels.  title           Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS, kernel 2.6.32-28-generic
[10:05] <linuxtech> uuid            98c9ecd2-6fe8-4eb6-88a7-f0f39be15645
[10:05] <linuxtech> kernel          /vmlinuz-2.6.32-28-generic root=UUID=32e6fdfb-5e4d-4e6c-8850-4a3f0062040d ro quiet splash
[10:05] <linuxtech> initrd          /initrd.img-2.6.32-28-generic
[10:05] <linuxtech>  and it appears to have been this way a whil and was booting.  Anyone know why it is missing the /boot/vmlinuz...?
[10:05] <FloodBot3> linuxtech: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:05] <Dr_Willis> it seems to be looking on partition sdb3 as if it was a whold hd.. which its not.
[10:06] <edwardteach> abhijain,  use  lsb_release -a   will tell you you ubuntu version
[10:06] <Dr_Willis> tehbaut:   You may want to zero out the whole hd and repatition it from the beginning.
[10:06] <tehbaut> Dr_Willis: this is only a temporary stop on a data recovery adventure... so I'll get to that point eventually
[10:07] <Lxs> What device should I choose for the bootloader installation ? /dev/sda ? /dev/mapper/.... Linux Device-mapper ? /dev/mapper... Windows 7 (loader) ?
[10:07] <Dr_Willis> tehbaut:  using a disk partioning tool on a specicic partion. is not correct. :) for example 'sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb3' is basically going to print jibberish.  /dev/sdb should work
[10:08] <abhijain> edwardteach, ???
[10:08] <bullgard4> ikonia: I copied the GParted error output file to a USB stick, plugged the USB stick into another Ubuntu computer and Firefox could perfectly read the file in a well-formatted manner.
[10:08] <Dr_Willis> gparted may be a bit smarter. it seems to be at least.
[10:08] <tehbaut> Dr_Willis: well I can give you a backtrace of the errors when I try /dev/sdb... but I have no idea what they mean
[10:09] <Dr_Willis> tehbaut:  i doubt if i know either.
[10:09] <abhijeet> is there anyway can i hibernate ubuntu ??
[10:09] <AbhiJit> DISCLAIMERp: do not confuse three of us! we three are different persosns
[10:09] <Dr_Willis> tehbaut:  if you still have the orignal data. I would repartition the spare/problem hd. and rebackup
[10:09] <abhijeet> there is no option at power button
[10:09] <AbhiJit> edwardteach, ^^^^
[10:09] <bullgard4> abhijYes.
[10:09] <abhijeet> how??
[10:09] <tehbaut> Dr_Willis: the original data is from a dead/dying hard drive, so no... I'd rather not do that ;)
[10:10] <Dr_Willis> tehbaut:  how can yu even verify what you copied is good.. catch-22 situation.
[10:10] <tehbaut> if only I could add another partition beyond the four already on there... I'd be okay, but I never created an extended partition, so until I delete this one, I'm stuck at the four
[10:10] <Dr_Willis> tehbaut:  you may alwso want to try fsarchiver, or ddrescue or dd_rescue in the future. not normal 'dd'
[10:10] <skilz_> how to check what tty or pts a user is on?
[10:11] <tehbaut> Dr_Willis: yeah, that's ideally the next step in the process... but I'm getting there slowly, with lots of bottlenecks :\
[10:11] <bullgard4> abhijeet: One possibility: Grep help.ubuntu.com for "ACPI" and "Hibernate"
[10:12] <tehbaut> Dr_Willis: yeah, I used both dd and ddrescue... both failed to completely copy, and the drive got ridiculously slow... like 1kB/s transfer speeds
[10:12] <abhijeet> bullgard4, i will check that site
[10:12] <Dr_Willis> Hibernate/suspend Often causes more issues then its worth.
[10:12] <fakeer> Ubuntu 10.10 partition is being shown as "unallocated" after Windows 7 install. How to get it back? Anyway to recover the partition rather than just the data?
[10:13] <_java_> Windows writes a new partition table on install, good luck.
[10:13] <Dr_Willis> fakeer:  try booting a live cd. and mointing the patition. see if it can be recovered
[10:13] <fakeer> Dr_
[10:13] <Dr_Willis> !tab
[10:13] <vooze> Hey.. i just plugged in nr. 2 external harddrive.. should that not be possible? i can only see nr. 1, and NOT nr. 2... both are WD MY books (500GB and 2TB)
[10:13] <edwardteach> abhijain, sorry lol
[10:14] <motz> Dr_Willis, the md5 corresponds
[10:14] <fakeer> Dr_Willis: I tried but the partition is being shown as unallocated. So it couldn't mount.
[10:14] <Dr_Willis> vooze:  clarify what you mean..  I have about 5 usb hds on here.
[10:15] <tehbaut> Dr_Willis: so do you know any way to tell what data might be partially missing/corrupted due to fragmentation beyond the copied threshold of the original partition, or due to data missed because of bad blocks not being copied over?
[10:15] <Dr_Willis> fakeer:  theres some tools out that can try to recover the  partiton tables.. but ive never used them. IF the data is still there in theory you could use gparted to set its type. and Just its type and not reformat it.. and it may work..
[10:15] <vooze> Dr_Willis, oh sorry wrong line, 2 sec
[10:15] <vooze> How can i check the filesystem on my external drive? i can check in properties on one of them (i have 2) but the new one (2TB WD, my book) i cant see what filesystem it uses.. any ideas?
[10:15] <Dr_Willis> tehbaut: Not really. perhaps fsarchiver
[10:15] <Dr_Willis> vooze:  'sudo fdisk -l' is one way. f its a new HD. its proberly NTFS
[10:15] <motz> Dr_Willis,  what do we have to conclude? hd problem?
[10:16] <fakeer> Dr_Willis: Could you please be more clear. And great if a few links/tuts you might be knwoing.
[10:16] <Dr_Willis> motz:  hard to tell. could be a hd issue. or memory issue. or some odd quirk in the drivers that got updated during install.
[10:16] <MrMintanet> I have a question, and I am certain it is not a "beginner" question.  Could someone help me, or have I worn out my welcome already?
[10:16] <Dr_Willis> fakeer:  Ive not had to recover such things in 7+ years. so i dont even know aht new guides are out there on the topic.
[10:17] <Dr_Willis> !info parted
[10:17] <bullgard4>  MrMintanet Please put a specific question here in this channel.
[10:17] <Dr_Willis> I recall some partion recoveruy cli tool  on a rescue cd. but cant recall its name
[10:17] <fakeer> Dr_Willis: However, it was 9.10's GParted that shows me Ubuntu partition as unallocated
[10:17] <llutz_> Dr_Willis: testdisk (parted package)
[10:17] <vooze> Dr_Willis, finally thanks! :) it was NTFS.. its just because the "old 500GB" is FAT32.. and that REALLY sucks in linux :D
[10:18] <_java_> Mr. we all agreed that guy was a jerk, your fine.
[10:18] <nimrod10> a
[10:18] <fakeer> Dr_Willis: Okay. Actually earlier XP and Vista did only grub overright and 7 has gone one step ahead. Thanks anyway...
[10:18] <Dr_Willis> fakeer:  ive never noticed or heard of windows 7 deleteing linux patitions..
[10:18] <Dr_Willis> fakeer:  i just have the 1 windows 7 box however..  so i dont use it a lot.
[10:19] <motz> Dr_Willis, what do you suggest me to do? should I give up?
[10:19] <Dr_Willis> motz:  try a 11.04 cd perhaps. this is a 'brand new' laptop ? you may want to check teh ubuntu forums. they often have more up to date things then what we know here.
[10:20] <MrMintanet> When I boot up my system, i have two brand new drives (one hooked up externally via eSATA and the other connected internally SATA) both on the same controller.  The drives pass smart tests and all diagnostics, however... when I boot my system, my boot haults and says that there is a critical error with my system, I can "Ignore" "Skip" or "Manually Repair" the problem.  I have added "dev/sdb1 /media/DATA ext4 defaults 0 1" to
[10:20] <MrMintanet> the end of my /etc/fstab file so that these spare drives mount on startup.   Can anyone advise what I am doing wrong?
[10:20] <motz> Dr_Willis, where do I find a 11.04 cd?
[10:20] <_java_> I was reading a FAQ the other day, like I said, windows 7 supposedly rewrites the partition table during install. (I assume as an "F U" to the owner of the machine.)
[10:21] <Dr_Willis> motz:  it sould be ojn the ubuntu dowmnloads/torrents. or check topic in #ubuntu+1
[10:22] <Dr_Willis> _java_:  it wouldent make sence for it to delete/modify existing partitions.  but you may want to ask for clarifiation in #windows ive never 'reinstalled' windows 7 yet.
[10:23] <Dr_Willis> changeing the partiion table is one thing.. but thats a list of existing partitions.. . altering an actual partiioon is another whole thing..
[10:23] <_java_> True, "unallocated
[10:24] <_java_> Crap accidentally pressed enter. "Unallocated" is a bit different isn't it.
[10:24] <ajah> where is the location of db of winehq i had some programs installed and then i was probably removed them from the disc but wine show me that they are installed
[10:24] <ajah> i need to remove them
[10:25] <frostero> hey yallz
[10:26] <_java_> Yes?
[10:26] <frostero> i need someone good with hardware and drivers,
[10:26] <Dr_Willis> ajah:  wine shows them as instaslled where exactly?
[10:26] <frostero> specifically hardware and drivers
[10:26] <Dr_Willis> ajah:  how is wine showing that.
[10:26] <frostero> audio/video
[10:26] <X11> Hello Guruz. Anyone please know, how to keep an X11 app running in the background that I started via an ssh forwarded X11 session?
[10:27] <frostero> on board video
[10:27] <X11> not sure if bg and Ctrl-Z would help in this case
[10:27] <frostero> looks like a specific chipset
[10:27] <ajah> Dr_Willis, from the start menu wine>programs and list me some programs installed
[10:27] <X11> or how to bring it back to the front again
[10:27] <motz> Dr_Willis, could you give me the whole path to the 11.4?
[10:27] <frostero> it requires more then i can give right now
[10:28] <frostero> can someone help him out?
[10:28] <Dr_Willis> ajah:  thats not 'wine' showing anything.   when a wine app installs.. the process gernates a .destktop and other files that gnome menus use. :)
[10:28] <Dr_Willis> ajah:  i think they are stored in ~/.config/menus/applications-merged
[10:28] <aaron11> ./
[10:29] <steinex> hi, for upgrades that come to my ubuntu box, can i see a changelog somewhere?
[10:29] <frostero> its not that much i know, but someone more knowledgable can quick fix this
[10:29] <steinex> for the packages that get upgraded?
[10:29] <fakeer> Dr_Willis: Neither did I. Erlier (Vista and XP) all I had to do was bot off a LiveCD and reinstall grub and update it.
[10:29] <ajah> Dr_Willis, but i start wine>Uninstall wine software it shows me tthat programs
[10:29] <v3trae> I just came from Crunchbang to ubuntu netbook. I had 'multitouch' capability natively in crunchbang (specifically to do the two finger scroll), but can't seem to find the same support for ubuntu anywhere. I dont remember installing any packages to get this working in crunchbang. Anyone familiar with how to do this?
[10:29] <Dr_Willis> motz:  the topic in #ubuntu+1 channel gave a url -> http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/natty/alpha1
[10:30] <ajah> Dr_Willis, and list them in the add/remove programs window
[10:30] <aaron11> hello
[10:30] <Dr_Willis> ajah:   I tend to just purge my whole .wine dir every so often. :) i rarely fight with wine much.
[10:31] <Dr_Willis> ajah:  i rarely even mess with th extra things in the wine 'menu' either.
[10:31] <Dr_Willis> Hmm. the menu -> wine -> uninstall wine software   program even has a button to INSTALL apps from a cd...
[10:32] <Dr_Willis> that may work better for some people fighting with isntalling stuff from cd perhaps.
[10:32] <aaron11> I have a problem with my Ubuntu 10.10, I just downloaded an update and after that, the screen will go to a console saying something about a batery power and firefox. I restart it and it was gone, while I was watching a You Tube video the black screen poped up again. I have to restart again and now im here. What should I do?
[10:32] <fakeer> Dr_Willis: can you suggest any channel in particular for this issue?
[10:32] <ohzie> aaron11: The error is very very important.
[10:33] <ohzie> aaron11: It sounds like a graphics card problem to me
[10:33] <aaron11> ohzie, There is no error.
[10:33] <motz> Dr_Willis, what if I give a look at the logs? where do I find them?
[10:33] <ohzie> aaron11: I don't know what the battery/firefox thing could possibly be
[10:33] <Dr_Willis> fakeer:  Not really. I dont mess with windows7, so cant prove it did the damate. and i dont use that 'testdisk' app mentioned earlier.
[10:33] <aaron11> ohzie, Or atleast no error message. But only after this update i have this problem
[10:33] <Dr_Willis> motz:  all logs are normallin in /var/log/  and check out put of the 'dmesg' command
[10:33] <ohzie> aaron11: what is your system
[10:34] <ohzie> aaron11: can you do an lspci and an lshw and post them to a pastebin?
[10:34] <sacarlson> frostero: maybe you could give us a clue as what you are working with by: sudo lshw | pastebinit
[10:36] <v3trae> Continued question. I assume ubuntu generates it's xorg.conf using the files in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d, is that correct?
[10:36] <aaron11> ohzie, my system is acer aspire 4736z
[10:36] <aaron11> ohzie, the lspci, 1 sec
[10:37] <Dr_Willis> v3trae:  X auto configures for the most part these days. not even generating a xorg.conf
[10:37] <sacarlson> v3trae: that file will only exist if you run propriatary video drivers or if you make custom mods to it
[10:37] <aaron11> ohzie,  http://paste.ubuntu.com/560167/
[10:37] <v3trae> Dr_Willis: well if one needed to make a manual change to the xorg configuration i'd imagine it would be done in these files
[10:37] <ohzie> I actually think that's the worst feature ever
[10:37] <v3trae> Dr_Willis: suppose that's what i'm asking. I apologize
[10:37] <ohzie> I went to modify my xorg for my nvidia drivers and was like "Wait what"
[10:37] <ohzie> "where is it"
[10:37] <ohzie> and I freaked out and thought I'd done someting immensely stupid
[10:38] <ohzie> something**
[10:38] <Dr_Willis> my nvidia systems have a minimal xorg.conf that basically enables twinview.
[10:38] <ohzie> I mean I love that xorg has advanced far enough to autoconfigure so well, but like...it could autogenerate an xorg conf. :P
[10:39] <Dr_Willis> ohzie:  thats sort of self-defeating.
[10:39] <Dr_Willis> xorg.conf overrides the auto-configring last i checked.
[10:39] <ohzie> Dr_Willis: It does
[10:40] <aaron11> ohzie, Did u get the link?
[10:40] <ohzie> aaron11: what link
[10:40] <Dr_Willis> v3trae:  if i need to make a change. you can put specific entries in a rather minimal xorg.conf file and they get merged/used i belive is how its donw.
[10:40] <francesco_> -it-doc
[10:40] <motz> Dr_Willis, [EE] open /dev/fb0 no such file or directoty
[10:40] <aaron11> ohzie, :-| u wanted the lspci.
[10:40] <aaron11> ohzie, http://paste.ubuntu.com/560167/
[10:41] <motz> Dr_Willis, could this be the problem?
[10:41] <Dr_Willis> motz:  fb0 is the framebuffer. which is not even used by default on ubuntu last i checked.
[10:41] <ohzie> aaron11: TY. Sorry if I overlooked it, I usually only notice lines with hilight on them unless I'm paying a lot of attention.
[10:41] <ohzie> motz: Joseph?
[10:41] <Dr_Willis> motz:  so i doubt thats the issue.. unless its a very weird driver/plymouth issue.
[10:41] <NET||abuse> hey guys. my tomboy notes won't open with alt-f12      using gnome on netbook remix, 10.10
[10:41] <v3trae> Dr_Willis: you're referring to creating an xorg.conf file in /etc/?
[10:41] <NET||abuse> anyonne know why the shortcut would be unresponsive?
[10:42] <Dr_Willis> v3trae:  my nvidia systems have a xorg.conf in /etc/ yes.
[10:42] <motz> ohzie, no, sorry, I'm not Joseph
[10:42] <v3trae> Dr_Willis: understood. Thank you
[10:42] <ohzie> motz: Thanks. =)
[10:42] <edwardteach> Dr_Willis, is there a way to check the settings of the xorg auto-config ?
[10:42] <Dr_Willis> edwardteach:  never really looked into it.
[10:42] <motz> Dr_Willis, could it make sense to try with another distro?
[10:43] <Dr_Willis> motz: May as well try.. dosent hurt to try.
[10:43] <Dr_Willis> motz:  tinuy core linux = 10mb download = good to 'test' things with.
[10:43] <vooze> I'm having some "problems" with my external harddrives.. in win there was no problem.. Filesystem is FAT32 + NTFS.. both transfer REALLY SLOW in ubuntu.. both to and from the harddrive.. any ideas??? Shoudent NTFS be fine ??
[10:44] <Dr_Willis> motz:  your system is a 'brand new just relased' laptop correct? it may be many disrtos may have simile rissuesd with it.
[10:44] <BelkinUSB> hello, having a tought time trying to connect to my Ubuntu 10.10 machine from WindowsXP in my home network. No problem the other way around
[10:44] <icefyre> vooze: NTFS is a different filesystem than the one used by Ubutnu so there is a conversion toll. It will be noticably slower to use an NTFS partition than a native ext4 partition
[10:44] <kah> `
[10:45] <ohzie> Dr_Willis: Is there any way to tell what driver xorg is using without telling it to create an xorg conf?
[10:45] <calvin> this is specified in xorg.conf..
[10:45] <vooze> icefyre,  should i use a tool? or just wait?
[10:45] <vooze> its like 8 hours for 25GB :(
[10:45] <ohzie> calvin: ubuntu 10.10 doesn't have an xorg.conf file by default. :3
[10:45] <icefyre> Vooze:  this should only apply for copying files
[10:45] <ohzie> calvin: Hence the question.
[10:46] <calvin> it just uses default vesa
[10:46] <icefyre> vooze: just accessing files shouldn't be as much of a problem
[10:46] <ohzie> calvin: if I have an nvidia card it won't default to the 'nv' driver?
[10:46] <Dr_Willis> ohzie:  the x log files can tell you that.
[10:46] <sacarlson> ohzie: I think sudo lshw will display what driver each device is using and if they use any at all
[10:46] <vooze> yeah okay, that was what i was afraid off.. I use the external harddrive for mediacenter.. = i copy files ALOT :(
[10:47] <motz> Dr_Willis, so it's a mistake to buy a brand new laptop if you want to install linux on it?
[10:47] <calvin> ohzie: noveau is the way to go imo
[10:47] <Dr_Willis> $ grep Driver /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[10:47] <Dr_Willis> motz:  it pays to research your hardware.
[10:48] <ohzie> motz: linux-laptop.com has a huge database of machines people have installed linux on
[10:48] <edwardteach> BelkinUSB, how are you connecting the boxs
[10:48] <ohzie> what flavors, what worked, and what didn't
[10:48] <Dr_Willis> motz:  Ubuntu is reelased every 6 months.. so the current release is almost 4+mo old..
[10:48] <Dr_Willis> motz:  the next release may fix any issues you have.
[10:48] <ohzie> aaron11: run that command, "grep Driver /var/log/Xorg.0.log" that Dr_Willis mentioned.
[10:49] <icefyre> vooze: then it shouldn't be as much of a problem as long as you aren't copying the content from the external HD to your linux filesystem before playing movies
[10:49] <minixking> anyone here know about proftpd?
[10:49] <Dr_Willis> minixking:  i know it has docs :) and guides out...
[10:49] <ohzie> calvin: what is noveau?
[10:49] <motz> Dr_Willis, are you telling me I have to let the computer blank for about two months and wait?
[10:49] <Dr_Willis> minixking:  if you have a spcidic question about it. state the question. see who knows  about.
[10:49] <zdway2010> hi all
[10:49] <ohzie> sacarlson: It does, thank you so much!
[10:50] <zdway2010> any one can help me plz
[10:50] <serialized> nouveau is the open source nvidia driver
[10:50] <motz> ohzie, my computer (lenovo b560) is on the the list in linux-laptop.com
[10:50] <Dr_Willis> motz:  i suggested tryiong 11.04, i also suggested trying some other disrtos.. I dont even recall your original issue any more.
[10:50] <vooze> icefyre: i dont.. but i download files on my linux system, and then transfer to external HD
[10:50] <BelkinUSB> edwardteach, via LAN
[10:50] <calvin> ohzie: the open rev. eng nvidia driver
[10:50] <calvin> has experimental 3d support
[10:50] <ohzie> calvin: That's cool
[10:50] <BelkinUSB> edwardteach, I have Samba running on my ubuntu machine and normal network services on my XP
[10:51] <Dr_Willis> motz:  just be aware that 11.04 is in 'alpha testing' so may have lots of other issues. You may also want to check the ubuntu forums for your exact laptop make/model.
[10:51] <calvin> i'd anytime prefer it over the propetiary drivers ;d
[10:52] <edwardteach> BelkinUSB,  i meant what software and for what reason ? ahh  so its a samba issue  !    only one way connection ?
[10:52] <minixking> dr: oddly enough that has done me no good, when i install it in ubuntu i set DefaultRoot /usr/sharedfiles users,!staff and it still lets ppl have access to other dir's
[10:53] <BelkinUSB> edwardteach, yup, i can see all my files on the win machine but not the other way around
[10:53] <Dr_Willis> minixking:  i dont use ftp any more. ssh is the way to go. :)
[10:53] <minixking> was wondering if this was a standard problem in ubuntu
[10:53] <calvin> whatś your samba tbdsam db?
[10:54] <minixking> dr: am i the only one that cant get ps to work in 10.10?
[10:54] <calvin> and have you enabled the nmbd daemon?
[10:55] <minixking> kinda hard to tell who is talking to who in this chan
[10:56] <mrg_> exit
[10:56] <staar2> for ssh access, there must be some kinda server daemon always running ?
[10:56] <ankur_trapasiya> i want to do open source projects ..how can i join it ?
[10:56] <ankur_trapasiya> :-/
[10:56] <calvin> staar: yeah, the openssh daemon
[10:57] <balachmar> Hi, How can I change the backlight intensity of GDM? it always goes back to full. (Which in my case shuts it down, a weird glitch in the driver).
[10:57] <erUSUL> !sshd | staar2
[10:57] <cor_r> I had a problem where I couldnt install grub-pc, now switched to 11.04 . There are even more packages not installing, any idea? http://paste.ubuntu.com/560054/
[10:57] <Dr_Willis> minixking:  i dont even know  what you mean by 'ps'
[10:57] <sacarlson> minixking: I'm now running proftpd,  look at sudo netstat -pant to see if port 21 is active
[10:58] <minixking> sacar: yes, my problem is that it is giving other people access to dir's outside of DefaultRoot /usr/sharedfiles users,!staff
[10:58] <Dr_Willis> http://mywiki.wooledge.org/FtpMustDie   :) Interesting bit of history and ranting about FTP.
[10:59] <Guest60947> hola
[10:59] <Guest60947> necesito ayuda
[10:59] <minixking> dr: does ubuntu not have the ps command i.e. ps -e xor ps -A
[10:59] <oCean> !es | Guest60947
[10:59] <erUSUL> Dr_Willis: greycat allways such a gentleman :)
[11:00] <Guest60947> alquien sabe commo configurar el moden e1752 en ubuntu 10.10
[11:00] <ikonia> !es | Guest60947
[11:00] <sacarlson> minixking: yes we have a ps command,  not sure your user has priv to us it so maybe try sudo ps -A
[11:00] <Dr_Willis> minixking:  ps command works here.
[11:00] <calvin> Hm, trying to get borderless eterm in fluxbox, anybody has a pointer?
[11:00] <Dr_Willis> ps ax | less
[11:01] <splashote> hey, synaptic can't load the source of VirtualBox (Fehlschlag beim Holen von http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/dists/maverick/Release  Unable to find expected entry  contrib/source/Sources in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
[11:01] <edwardteach> BelkinUSB,  i was going to say it sounds like a permission issue . but you can access from windows ?
[11:01] <splashote> any suggestions?
[11:01] <minixking> its the weirdest error ive seen yet and ive been nix'in for years
[11:01] <minixking> it just says "command inactive"
[11:01] <minixking> nothing in forums
[11:01] <sacarlson> splashote: did you add the lines to the repository list?
[11:02] <Dr_Willis> minixking:  whats the exact command you are using?
[11:02] <minixking> ps -e
[11:02] <splashote> sacarlson: of course, and I added the key. the error output is from synaptic
[11:02] <minixking> hell ive punched just ps
[11:02] <Dr_Willis> ps -e works here..
[11:02] <minixking> which distro you running
[11:02] <Dr_Willis> 10.10
[11:02] <oCean> !who > minixking
[11:03] <Dr_Willis> i was thinking the - was not needed in many cases with ps these days..
[11:03] <BelkinUSB> edwardteach,  no, I can access Windows from Ubuntu, not the other way around
[11:03] <cor_r> calvin: -x, --borderless
[11:03] <sacarlson> splashote: well then you must have also done the update list  atp-get update  or equiv in synaptic
[11:03] <ikonia> minixking: please show me the output of uname -a
[11:03] <Dr_Willis> but seems ps e, and ps -e, are radiaclly differnt. :) i tend to just use ps ax,
[11:03] <cor_r> I had a problem where I couldnt install grub-pc, now switched to 11.04 . There are even more packages not installing, any idea? http://paste.ubuntu.com/560054/
[11:04] <minixking> ikonia: there is that error again even sudo
[11:04] <splashote> sacarlson: of course. actually that is what I'm trying to do when the error pops up: Failed to fetch http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/dists/maverick/Release  Unable to find expected entry  contrib/source/Sources in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
[11:04] <splashote> E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[11:04] <minixking> ikon: "Command Inactive"
[11:04] <ikonia> minixking: so "uname -a" shows the error "command inactive
[11:04] <minixking> yep
[11:04] <ikonia> minixking: can you please take a screen shot of this
[11:05] <minixking> ikon: yeah where you want me to post it for the rest of the world to wonder in my headache :P
[11:05] <ikonia> minixking: image shack or any other image service
[11:05] <erUSUL> !screenshot
[11:06] <sacarlson> splashote: that's a sytax error in your repository list I'll give you an example of what it should look like
[11:06] <Dr_Willis> minixking:  just as a test. launch a new terminal, see if it does same thing in there.
[11:06] <ikonia> Dr_Willis: lets wait for the screen shot
[11:08] <sariolakys_> hi there, I am experiencing weird problems when trying to install ubuntu 10.10 from live cd on a new machine. After checking that my system has enough space, plugged to the el network and connected to internet I get to the place where I should be partitioning my disk and there is where the problem comes since I cannot do anything. Any tip?
[11:08] <sacarlson> splashote: you should have a line in /etc/apt/source.list like: deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian lucid contrib
[11:08] <Dr_Willis> sariolakys_:  what os was on the 'new' machine in the first place?
[11:08] <edwardteach> BelkinUSB,  sounds like a permission problem ! have you edited the samba.conf file to allow access from remote client
[11:09] <sariolakys_> there is a Windows 7 on it. System had 2 partitions of 500GB each

[11:10] <splashote> sacarlson: so it's ok, isn't it?
[11:10] <bullgard4> I'd like to move to the left and enlarge my /home partition using GParted. I obtained 3 times: "Input/output error while reading from /dev/sda." (http://paste.pocoo.org/show/329102/). But the sector number was different each time. --  How to proceed?
[11:10] <Dr_Willis> sariolakys_:  i would double check that. (via sudo fdisk -l, from the live cd) - My Win7 box i got at xmas. had 4 Primary partitions..  this made it impoxxible to install ubuntu onto. Untill i did some hd-rearangeing.
[11:11] <sariolakys_> in the allocate/partitioning screen I see a table where I guess I should have my current partitions, labels, etc but that table is completely empty
[11:11] <ikonia> bullgard4: please pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l"
[11:11] <Dr_Willis> sariolakys_: You could resize (from within windows7) one of the HD's leaving part of the hd Unallocated. and tell the installer to use the unallocaed space.
[11:11] <sacarlson> splashote: yes that seems to exist
[11:12] <sacarlson> splashote: can you browse that address with your browser?
[11:12] <splashote> sacarlson: yes, i can

[11:14] <christhecoolboy> hey all, I have a problem....
[11:15] <sariolakys_> hmmm nice Dr_willis, I think I might be suffering from the same problem, yes, my HD was partitioned in 4 primary parts, so I have tried resizing from the live CD using Gtparted, removing one of the primary partitions and creating an extended there leaving some space unassigned. My problem is that it looks like the installer does not ask for any question regarding the partitioning I want, it is just showing that empty table by default. I th
[11:15] <sariolakys_> ink it should be asking if I want to manually edit the partitions, use the entire disk, etc, right?
[11:15] <christhecoolboy> I have an elonex webbook
[11:15] <christhecoolboy> Netbook

[11:15] <christhecoolboy> how do I edit files on my USB stick
[11:15] <razz1> want a corded keyboard and mouse, not too expensive are the logitech k300 and M500 a good choice
[11:15] <Dr_Willis> sariolakys_:  i tend to use a gparted live cd. set up the partitions how i want, and tell the uubnut insatller to mount the partions where i want.
[11:16] <Dr_Willis> christhecoolboy:  thers no xorg.conf to edit on  a livecd/flash drive..
[11:16] <christhecoolboy> what do I do then?
[11:16] <christhecoolboy> I cant see anything
[11:16] <christhecoolboy> its all TV static like
[11:16] <Dr_Willis> christhecoolboy:  there are often boot optiomns for specific problems... so whats your eact issue.
[11:16] <bullgard4> christhecoolboy: Mount the stick. Then use gedit.
[11:16] <christhecoolboy> ^^
[11:16] <BelkinUSB> edwardteach, tried it but no luck... time to go now :(
[11:16] <sacarlson> splashote: I'm not sure maybe it's just a temp server update problem,  how long has this problem been seen?

[11:18] <erUSUL> !es | jazztico
[11:18] <Dr_Willis> christhecoolboy:  you can make that file if you wanted.. but theres no xorg.conf by default on a live cd. and provberly not on the usb-live setup either
[11:19] <christhecoolboy> how could I change it so it boots...
[11:19] <Dr_Willis> christhecoolboy:  that URL is stateing to change the file After it installs.. it seems.
[11:19] <benedict> hi, i get a message at boot saying "echo 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/pref_counter_paranoid" - it is somehow connected the virtualbox. i only have /proc/sys/kernel/pref_event_paranoid in the folder. i didn't find any uselfull info on the web. any advice for me?
[11:19] <christhecoolboy> It needs to be in 1024 x 600
[11:19] <christhecoolboy> and I cannot install it
[11:19] <razz1> erUSUL: I know all keyboards do the same job but when you need to use them for more than 10 hrs a day, then it really matters and I have used really cheap ones and they do not cut it
[11:19] <christhecoolboy> since when I start it, its all static
[11:19] <Dr_Willis> christhecoolboy:  that url is also like 3+ yrs old..
[11:19] <sariolakys_> my problem is that I cannot tell the installer where I want the things to be because it does not show anything. I can see my partitions and their file system using GParted, but I see nothing in the installer. The only thing it says at the bottom is that my deviced for boat loader installation would be /dev/sda but in the table above it the table where I should see device, type, mounting point, etc is completely empty and the buttons below
[11:19] <sariolakys_> it (new partitioning table, add..., edit...,etc) are all inactive
[11:19] <jipsy> hi how can I install my need for speed cd? I cant mount the cd..newbie here... please assist ^^

[11:20] <Dr_Willis> christhecoolboy:  whats your exact video chipset? theres the 'nomodeset' option that may  help
[11:20] <christhecoolboy> erm...
[11:21] <Dr_Willis> christhecoolboy:  and if you are following a 3 yr old guide.. to try to change a disrto that is just 6 mo old.. that guide may be totally wrong.

[11:24] <MrMintanet> Does anyone here use the Web Client provided with Transmission Torrent Downloader?
[11:24] <AlanBell> christhecoolboy: don't think I have tried 10.10 on the webbook, I think support for the odd graphics chipset might have been dropped or something
[11:25] <christhecoolboy> :(
[11:26] <bc81> how can i set my usb speakers as default output device?
[11:26] <christhecoolboy> my sister wants it on her webbook :(
[11:26] <AlanBell> just looking about the office to see if I still have a working webbook somewhere
[11:26] <jpds> bc81: Sound Preferences → Output.
[11:26] <erUSUL> bc81: click on sound icon. choose sound preferences and change device in output tab ?
[11:27] <AlanBell> christhecoolboy: /join #ubuntu-uk, this is going to take a while and this channel makes my head spin :)
[11:27] <bc81> yes, but sometimes it goes back to the onboard speakers, jpds & erUSUL
[11:32] <j0nnymoe> Anyone Using Apple's Magic Mouse on ubuntu 10.10?
[11:33]  * Descriptioned it's kinda wird my question but since im not join other chat's/forums, i may ask here even if am offtopic. :P ... If anyone knows witch is better "Male or Female Bull Terrier" ??
[11:33] <edwardteach> vooze, what is the output of cat /etc/network/interfaces
[11:33] <edwardteach> hes gone
[11:34] <Gnea> Descriptioned: since it's offtopic, you may not ask that here.
[11:34] <boxbeatsy> hi, i'm having a really weird problem and i realy need help.  for about half of my page loads in my browser, the page won't resolve but if i keep refreshing my page, it will eventually load.  i know it's not my internet connection because i have a persistent connection through chat.
[11:34] <boxbeatsy> does anyone know what might be going on
[11:34] <Descriptioned> Gnea: since im gonna buy one i think it's good idea, im not talking about a software or something that i can change tommorow.. :)
[11:34] <Benkinooby> on bootup my 10.04 complains about something related to virtuaalbox and says i should "echo 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/pref_counter_paranoid" but "ls -al /proc/sys/" gives me "dr-xr-xr-x   0 root root 0 2011-01-30 12:03 kernel" so i am not supposed to create any files there. any advice?
[11:35] <Gnea> Descriptioned: yes, and so you should ask it in #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:35] <Descriptioned> k
[11:35] <uni4dfx> how do i remove plymouth?
[11:35] <Gnea> uni4dfx: you don't.
[11:35] <Dr_Willis> uni4dfx:  not reccomended.. You can turn it 'off' by editing the /etc/default/grub  and changeing 'quiet splash' to be just ''  (ie blank)
[11:35] <boxbeatsy> Also, i'm trying to update my svn repository, and i keep getting "urlopen error" and if i just keep trying over and over it eventually works.  it's like i'm losing connection, but i'm not.
[11:36] <uni4dfx> Dr_Willis that's a very bad workaround since it's going to be overwritten each time there is a kernel update
[11:36] <rumpe1> Benkinooby, you have to be admin to do this
[11:36] <Dr_Willis> uni4dfx:  ive never have had it overwritten  been doing it that way since beta..
[11:36] <Dr_Willis> uni4dfx:  so i think yoru statement is wrong.
[11:37] <Benkinooby> rumpe1, when doing "sudo vim /proc/sys/kernel/pref_counter_paranoid" and enter a 2 it won't let me save
[11:37] <Dr_Willis> every kernel update reruns update-grub that reads that config.. that setting makes it the 'default' for all new kernels also.
[11:37] <Dr_Willis> uni4dfx:  you May be confuseing /boot/grub/grub.cfg (you DONT edit that file) you edit /etc/default/grub
[11:38] <uni4dfx> Dr_Willis oh yeah, my bad
[11:38] <sergi> hi

[11:38] <boxbeatsy> it's like i have a connection that's ocming in and out but my internet connection is definitely still here
[11:39] <civixier> Okay, so I need help. When I installed nano from apt-get and edited the nanorc file nothin happened. So I googled around and got to the conclusion that you have to compile nano with --enable-nanorc for it to read the nanorc file. I don't have a clue on how to do that. So what do I do to enable nanorc?
[11:39] <boxbeatsy> it's so weird..i dont know how to explain it any better

[11:43] <Benkinooby> !#ubuntu-de
[11:43] <Benkinooby> hm
[11:44] <edwardteach> boxbeatsy, have you checked your dmesg logs while using firefox
[11:45] <Benkinooby> i can't update to kernel-2.6.32-28 http://pastebin.com/TzcBMKtk - someoen uderstands these aptitude messages?
[11:46] <boxbeatsy> edwardteach: hi, thanks for answering.  i jsut checked. it seems like there is something relevant.  does this mean anythign to you? http://pastebin.com/iNxHHEAk
[11:47] <rumpe1> Benkinooby, well... i guess there are some problems with the nvidia-kernel-modules (line 30)
[11:49] <rumpe1> Benkinooby, maybe try full-upgrade (man aptitude:  "..full-upgrade.. is capable of upgrading packages that safe-upgrade cannot upgrade."
[11:49] <Benkinooby> rumpe1, thx for the hint. research sys purge and resintall will help... i'll report back
[11:50] <Israfel> Ubuntu doesn't mount HDDs other than the root at boot... So I added them to my fstab. But now I have duplicates in "Places"
[11:52] <Benkinooby> rumpe1, purging nvidia-common helped
[11:52] <edwardteach> boxbeatsy, your wireless connection keeps cutting out because  your wired connection is interfering at a guess .. what is the out put of cat /etc/network/interfaces
[11:53] <rumpe1> Benkinooby, ok... good to know :)
[11:53] <gebbione> hi guys, i m installing xubuntu from usb and the "Load debconf preconfigration file" step fails, what can i do?

[11:53] <boxbeatsy> edwardteach: hmm i see.  it's  auto lo and then iface lo inet loopback
[11:53] <boxbeatsy> edwardteach: the odd thing is that my ssh connections and irc connections are staying connected
[11:54] <boxbeatsy> edwardteach: it's just the svn updates and the browser page loads are erroring out randomly
[11:54] <edwardteach> boxbeatsy, hmm
[11:56] <edwardteach> boxbeatsy, whats it like when downloading a vid from youtube or you would'nt like to try lol
[11:56] <Benkinooby> any ideas on the "sudo vim /proc/sys/kernel/pref_counter_paranoid" problem thoug rumpe1 ?
[11:56] <boxbeatsy> edwardteach: i actually am trying that right now.  it's streaming perfectly fine right now
[11:57] <boxbeatsy> edwardteach: going 1:30 onwards
[11:57] <rumpe1> Benkinooby, i would a) ignore the warning if virtualbox runs just fine or b) try the echo 3> thingy...  proc is not a "usual" filesystem
[11:57] <boxbeatsy> edwardteach: could it be something with DNS resolution?
[11:57] <edwardteach> boxbeatsy, are you using a usb wireless device
[11:58] <jcb> #
[11:58] <boxbeatsy> edwardteach: no, it's an internal one

[12:19] <MrMintanet> Anyone know any decent USB Camera Security programs for 10.10 Desktop?

[12:19] <edwardteach> sie, System->Preferences->Startup Applications    add

[12:21] <mongy> MrMintanet, zoneminder?
[12:21] <jetboyjetgirl> Ok, so ubuntu must be really popular
[12:21] <jetboyjetgirl> I take it Red Hat is running a distant 2nd
[12:21] <gunndawg> jestboyjetgirl, yes, its the most used linux distro at like 90
[12:21] <sss> zenithdk_-,  I have windows xp already installed and I have used it , and now I want to install Ubuntu using the LiveCD
[12:21] <gunndawg> 90% the population
[12:21] <MrMintanet> Mongy, did you just google that, or do you actually use the program?
[12:21] <jetboyjetgirl> 90% ? wow
[12:21] <zenithdk_-> so have you booted up on the Live CD into Ubuntu or are you in Windows?
[12:22] <gunndawg> jetboyjetgirl, 90% of linux users use ubuntu as far as I have read
[12:22] <mongy> MrMintanet, I searched in software centre, I forgot the name of it, Ive never used it but have seen a few guides about it.. it supposed to be good..  you wont know till you try it

[12:23] <jetboyjetgirl> 90% of linux users
[12:23] <gunndawg> yes
[12:23] <zenithdk_-> sss: I just wanted to know if you were running Ubuntu, or were in Windows, you are in Ubuntu, right
[12:23] <mongy> MrMintanet, http://www.howtoforge.com/video_surveillance_zoneminder_ubuntu
[12:23] <jetboyjetgirl> I asked because the ubuntu channels are so packed copared to other channels
[12:23] <zenithdk_-> so for the partitioning, have it create a 40GB partition for Ubuntu
[12:23] <sss> zenithdk_-, Right now I am chatting with you using Ubuntu
[12:24] <gunndawg> jetboyjeygirl, there is a lot you can do with ubuntu, if I showed you my desktop you would be blown away
