[17:59] <skfin> fixxxermet: Otherwise you can use http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde (remove ubuntu there)
[17:59] <fixxxermet> skfin: I don't have physical access to the box right now
[17:59] <sam_sam> msl:changing permissions will make my system inaccessible( as it contains "init") , right?
[17:59] <alan__> What i want to do is, on the drop-down at the top where it says Places, i want a folder there. How can i do this? Just add a folder in /home/usr/?
[18:00] <sandking> i2v8an, but you used netbook edition, or standard?
[18:00] <fixxxermet> thanks skfin
[18:00] <skfin> fixxxermet: Notice that it applies only in 10.10
[18:00] <i2v8an> netbook
[18:00] <duffydack> sandking, ive noticed my i7 laptops fans come on more frequently when doing nothing at all..its usually near silent even when browsing and other minimal stuff.
[18:00] <sandking> i2v8an, in other words - can i just add it now?
[18:00] <msl> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root<PHONE_NUMBER>-08-12 18:10 /sbin/init    <-- my perms on init
[18:00] <MrRoboto> anyone here who uses scribus for ubuntu?
[18:00] <msl> Do your permissions match that?
[18:00] <sandking> i2v8an, i was before using mint on 10.04 ubuntu and it was cooler then
[18:01] <sam_sam> msl:if i set  root -> create and delete , others -> list only then ? thats wht i see to make it secure
[18:01] <rek_> hi where's startup file in gnome?
[18:01] <i2v8an> that's funny because as soon as I installed 10.10 my fans are actually running at the right time
[18:02] <sandking> i2v8an, bun can i add this pae now?
[18:02] <Wraithulek> there is any broadcasting program with graphical menu?
[18:03] <i2v8an> sandking, you might already have it.
[18:03] <sandking> i2v8an, how can i check it?
[18:03] <Wraithulek> there is any broadcasting program with graphical menu?
[18:04] <Wraithulek> i hope you understand my lame english
[18:04] <sam_sam> msl: drwxrwxr--   2 root     root      4096 2010-10-10 17:33 sbin
[18:04] <i2v8an> sandking, uname -r.  if it says -generic-pae then you already have it
[18:04] <sandking> i2v8an, generic
[18:04] <sandking> :/
[18:05] <sam_sam> msl: i have changed it to "root -> create and delete , others -> list only" now so it shows those settings
[18:05] <sandking> i2v8an, somebody said that netbook edition was all about gui
[18:05] <sandking> now it seems that it's also about kernel
[18:05] <KM0201> poincare101: are you there?
[18:05] <rek_> hi where's startup file in gnome?
[18:06] <KM0201> rek_: like you want to add something to start on startup?
[18:06] <i2v8an> sandking, it should use the same kernel as the standard version.  I have had to install the pae kernel myself in the past
[18:06] <sandking> i2v8an, oh. ok, thx anyway - got to go
[18:06] <i2v8an> np
[18:07] <ubuntu> Hello everyone. what kernel module does ubuntu use for atheros cards?
[18:07] <ubuntu> I meant wireless cards.

[18:07] <rek_> sudo
[18:07] <KM0201> poincare202: do you still need help?
[18:07] <poincare202> Yeah.

[18:11] <xeno__> hello everyone
[18:11] <nmvictor> ubuntu does not ask for password when i login. please help
[18:12] <Sickler> i installed via backup dvd created with remastersys and i cannot change my root password, which stinks bc i purposely made it weak at the time, how do i change this, I already tried sudo passwd
[18:12] <i2v8an> sickler, have you tried sudo passwd root yet?
[18:12] <raven> which version of ubuntu used kernel 2.6.15?
[18:13] <i2v8an> raven, 7.10 ?
[18:13] <Dulak> nmvictor: System->Administration->Login Screen has the setting for autologin, you can disable it and then you will have to put a password in to login
[18:14] <kefealo> hello
[18:14] <nmvictor> Dulak: thanks
[18:15] <kenaj> where do I find/install firmware for internet wireless connection?
[18:15] <i2v8an> raven, how about 6.04 ?
[18:15] <nmvictor> i was dissapointed that Maverick is not a long term support distro,im sticking with Lucid for that one reason
[18:16] <Misterio> !lts | nmvictor
[18:16] <Sickler> i2v8an: yes just tried still the default password
[18:16] <suprsonic> anyone using landscape?
[18:16] <Pici> raven: Are you running that right now? You can do lsb_release -a  in a terminal to see the UBuntu version.
[18:16] <Dulak> raven: 'lsb_release -a' should show you all the version info about whatever you are running
[18:16] <i2v8an> sickler, su -c 'passwd' ?
[18:16] <Misterio> nmvictor: Meh, it doesn't sends you info... next LTS is going to be released in 2012
[18:18] <Dulak> nmvictor: I keep LTS on my servers but workstations I upgrade to the newest about a month after a new release to let the worst bugs get ironed out.
[18:18] <Da_Wrecka> Okay, this isn't a request for help. I was asking a couple of nights ago about problems running video with my external monitor set to 1280x1024.
[18:18] <MrRoboto> what is the easiest way to install fonts?
[18:18] <Sickler> i2v8n: attempting now
[18:18] <Da_Wrecka> Turns out the video chip in my netbook, an Intel 945, has a maximum virtual desktop of 2048x2048. Outside this range, 3D acceleration is disabled.
[18:18] <Misterio> Dulak: After a month? I can't one too much :P
[18:18] <Misterio> wait*
[18:18] <leo2007> hi
[18:19] <timmyt> I am using Ubuntu in a virtual machine. How do i make ubuntu see the machine folder i set up on my host? i configured vbox to add the machine folder.
[18:19] <ddilinger> having a wierd problem with my bluetooth headset.  If i connect the headset to my phone it works fine(audio received and sent), if I connect the headset to my 10.04 machine it records just fine, but i have to plug in headphones and switch the output to headphones in padevchooser to get an audio(so, no audio on the headset)
[18:19] <Da_Wrecka> Which nicely explains why I have no problems with 1024x600/1024x768 and I do have problems with 1024x600/1280x1024.
[18:19] <ddilinger> any know where to start debugging the bluetooth for that?
[18:19] <Dulak> MrRoboto: download the font, double click it in the file manager, click the 'install' button in the lower right hand corner of the screen that comes up.
[18:19] <Da_Wrecka> Positioning the external monitor below the internal monitor on the virtual desktop means no problem, because that way it fits within the 2048x2048 constraint.
[18:20] <Dulak> Misterio: That's good, you can help them find the bugs so when I do upgrade I don't have to deal with it.  Impatience does have it's uses.
[18:20] <Sickler> i2v8an: still no luck
[18:20] <Da_Wrecka> And evidently, Totem along with MPlayer and such depend on 3D acceleration
[18:20] <MrRoboto> dulak: thanks, can I choose like 300 fonts at once with this method?
[18:21] <Dulak> MrRoboto: nope, you'd have to copy them wherever that install button does, then update the font cache to pick them up.
[18:21] <wildc4rd_> evening all
[18:21] <glithcd> The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources.
[18:21] <nmvictor> Dulak: would rather that
[18:21] <blocky> banshee doesn't really give much info when it says network error loading podcast
[18:21] <glithcd> how do i fix that?
[18:22] <ddilinger> glithcd: apt-key
[18:22] <Da_Wrecka> seems I either have to put up with 1024x768 on the external screen, or deal with the confusion of moving the mouse DOWNWARDS to move it to the other screen.
[18:22] <youness> hell world
[18:22] <ddilinger> glithcd: you need to get a copy of the key and add it with apt-key add <file>
[18:23] <glithcd> ddilinger, how do i get the key?
[18:23] <ddilinger> glithcd: from wherever you got the source line for your sources.list
[18:23] <glithcd> ddilinger, jus type that nd it will get the key?
[18:23] <ben_> how do I get the update-manager to keep previous kernel versions?
[18:23] <ddilinger> glithcd: i just joined chat, so dont have your full history :)
[18:23] <nmvictor> !info apt-key
[18:23] <glithcd> ddilinger, is it ok if i pm u?
[18:23] <Dulak> Da_Wrecka: I put the external monitor on top of the internal monitor myself, the way it's laid out on my desk it feels more natural to move up onto the external instead of down.
[18:24] <ddilinger> glithcd: just ask here, generally better because if someone else has same issue its logged
[18:24] <Da_Wrecka> Mmm. But that's you.
[18:24] <nmvictor> !pckg apt-key
[18:24] <Da_Wrecka> My setup, the external monitor is to the right of the netbook
[18:24] <glithcd> ddilinger, ok
[18:24] <nmvictor> !pkg apt-key
[18:24] <Dulak> Da_Wrecka: mine too
[18:24] <ddilinger> nmvictor: its in the main apt package
[18:24] <timmyt> Anyone know how to make my machine folder to my windows 7 os appear on my ubuntu guest?
[18:24] <Da_Wrecka> I might give your way a try then
[18:25] <ubuntuselur> can someone suggest a good command line torrent client please? i want to use it over ssh
[18:25] <collabra> !apt-key
[18:25] <Dulak> Da_Wrecka: it was easier to get used to for me
[18:25] <ddilinger> Da_Wrecka: not sure how your configured, but it is possible to have them side by side(at least, on a pc with 2 screens, havn't ever done a laptop)
[18:26] <WinstonSmith> hi everybody :D. my upgrade drom 10.04 to 10.10 hangs since over 1 hour at "setting new software channels". any ideas? can i safely close it by force & retry?
[18:26] <Dulak> ubuntuselur: rtorrent is a terminal client
[18:26] <Da_Wrecka> ddilinger: Yes, it is. But if I do that, the virtual desktop exceeds the 2048x2048 limit imposed by the video chip in my netbook
[18:26] <EvaLuaTe> hello
[18:26] <ddilinger> Da_Wrecka: ahh, i get you.  ya thats a bummer
[18:26] <Dulak> ddilinger: he's stuck stacking up and down because of the resolutions
[18:26] <EvaLuaTe> when I try to run VMware on ubuntu 10.10 I get an error that it can't build a kernel module and this is what its log says: http://pastebin.com/H9MmUstY
[18:27] <Da_Wrecka> And while it IS possible to do that despite the hardware limitation, the result is that 3D acceleration is disabled
[18:27] <ddilinger> having a wierd problem with my bluetooth headset.  If i connect the headset to my phone it works fine(audio received and sent), if I connect the headset to my ubuntu 10.04 machine it records just fine, but i have to plug in headphones and switch the output to headphones in padevchooser to get an audio(so, no audio on the headset).  Anyone know where to start debugging this?
[18:27] <Dulak> Da_Wrecka: it's brutal without 3d, might as well be on the framebuffer in 1995
[18:27] <nbubuntu> hi , I need some help , how do I set my folder option icon on ubuntu 10.10 ?
[18:27] <Da_Wrecka> So I either use 1024x768 on my external monitor, or I need to stack one on top of the other virtually, otherwise no 3D acceleration and no playable video.
[18:28] <ddilinger> or just use the external monitor
[18:28] <ddilinger> can the internal be disabled?
[18:28] <Da_Wrecka> Also an option, but I prefer to have two screens
[18:28] <ddilinger> well, your laptop doesn't like your preference :P
[18:28] <Da_Wrecka> Once you go dual-head, it's hard to go back
[18:28] <ddilinger> i have a 23" horiz and 2x21" in vertical :)
[18:29] <Da_Wrecka> (the VGA monitor I'm using, I was actually using on my gaming PC. Unfortunately that machine is deader than disco.)
[18:29] <kenaj> help, cant make wireless internet connection. 'puter says "no firmware" Can someone help?
[18:29] <glaucous> How long to you think I'd take to fsck a 1 TB partition on a 5200 RPM drive?
[18:29] <ddilinger> glaucous: lunch time
[18:29] <nbubuntu> hi , I need some help , how do I set my folder option icon on ubuntu 10.10 ?
[18:29] <Dulak> glaucous: at least an hour
[18:29] <Da_Wrecka> So I thought 'sod it' and hooked one of the screens up to my netbook
[18:30] <appi_uppi> Hi, While ubuntu 10.04 running on desktop PC suddenly pushes blink screen and then reboots.
[18:30] <Gnea> appi_uppi: while doing what?
[18:30] <glithcd> ddilinger, i even keep getting disconnected from here
[18:31] <EvaLuaTe> any idea what the problem could be or how I could run vmware?
[18:31] <glaucous> Dulak, ddilinger, oh god, 400 GB was quite fast although on a 7200 RPM
[18:31] <ddilinger> glithcd: hmm, that has to be tangential to the apt-key problem
[18:31] <glithcd> ddilinger, did u get everything else i entered?
[18:31] <ddilinger> glithcd: no, nothing actually
[18:31] <glithcd> ddilinger, well please help me fix it
[18:31] <appi_uppi> Gnea, any activity such as either browsing, etc
[18:31] <glithcd> ddilinger, ok ill re-enter it
[18:31] <SpaceBass> hey folks, I have a remote box that I want to make a persistant ssh connection back to a server I have - IE if the power goes out, when it reboots, it re-establishes the connection.... is there a more elegant way to do that than a bash script called by cron?
[18:31] <glaucous> Dulak, ddilinger, but I guess it's wise to fsck the backup drive once a while?
[18:31] <Gnea> EvaLuaTe: check vmware.com support forum to see if they have an update-any patch yet
[18:32] <ddilinger> SpaceBass: a tunnel or what does the ssh connection do?
[18:32] <jMyles> Has anybody discovered a quick fix for bug 660649 (btrfs not mounting)?
[18:32] <SpaceBass> ddilinger, yeah, a reverse tunnel
[18:32] <timmyt> thank you for your help.
[18:32] <timmyt> found out the solution on the net
[18:32] <Dulak> glaucous: if you can unmount it and fsck it while doing other stuff sure
[18:32] <Gnea> appi_uppi: heat buildup perhaps?
[18:32] <glithcd> ddilinger, i jus upgraded to 10.10(which btw is horrible so far) and i went to update nd its giving me msgs like "Unable to connect to ppa.launchpad.net:http: Err http://ppa.launchpad.net maverick/main i386 Packages " and the other one i posted
[18:32] <stefg> SpaceBass: /etc/rc.local
[18:32] <appi_uppi> Gnea, no not really
[18:32] <ddilinger> SpaceBass: for a tunnel, i create 2 connections, local->remote and local->remote 22,  then a cron that runs once a minute and checks if it can use the local->remote 22 to get a ls, if not it re-opens both tunnels
[18:32] <Gnea> appi_uppi: how do you figure?
[18:32] <SpaceBass> stefg, I get how rc.local would work at boot, but not for connection drops, or a server reboot, etc
[18:33] <glaucous> Dulak, that does sound perfect. Guess I can turn automatic fsck off in fstab on those partitions (not root and /home).
[18:33] <WinstonSmith> hi everybody :D. my upgrade drom 10.04 to 10.10 hangs since over 1 hour at "setting new software channels". any ideas? can i safely close it by force & retry?
[18:33] <ddilinger> SpaceBass: so, forward local 10000-> remote 3306 and local 10001->remote 22
[18:33] <glithcd> ddilinger, this one too "E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[18:33] <glithcd> "
[18:33] <EvaLuaTe> Gnea, I though someone would have encountered this problem before and could adive me where to look directly :)
[18:33] <SpaceBass> ddilinger, got it! thanks and to reestablishe the tunnels you are using cron and a script?
[18:33] <ddilinger> SpaceBass: if port 10001 cant make a connection, it re-opens both.  The check is run by cron once a minute or so
[18:33] <appi_uppi> Gnea, even for the first time login, I am not able view mouse pointer. I have lock and unlock to view pointer.
[18:33] <Gnea> EvaLuaTe: haven't touched 10.10 yet (this is one of the reasons lol), but if I was going to look for a solution, that's where I'd go
[18:34] <stefg> SpaceBass: i see. so since you need to listen to the heartbeat you'll have some sort of cron job anyway
[18:34] <SpaceBass> ddilinger, and assuming you are using key pairs?
[18:34] <ddilinger> SpaceBass: yea, using a key with no password
[18:34] <appi_uppi> Gnea, may be compatibility issues?
[18:34] <SpaceBass> ddilinger, and stefg thanks!
[18:34] <Darxus> Unicode isn't working on one of my two Lucid desktop machines.  Any pointers?  Unicode is showing up garbled in gnome-terminal.
[18:34] <BluesKaj> glithcd, when upgrading of the internet always delete any ppas in the sources.list first, they interfere with upgrade process and aren't vaid repos with the new OS
[18:34] <SpaceBass> I just set up a space box to sit in the dmz and act as the ssh server, feeling like its a fairly savvy solution
[18:34] <glaucous> Is there a way to skip fsck on boot? Doesn't seem like fastboot in grub helped.
[18:34] <ddilinger> glithcd: one sec, there is a specific procedure for ppi apt keys
[18:35] <Darxus> Actually, unicode 2014 (long dash) is showing up as "--" when I type it in locally.
[18:35] <_Len> guys, Im using Maverick and when I plug the headset it doesnt make any sound. Can you help me?
[18:35] <glithcd> ddilinger, do tell, please
[18:35] <Gnea> appi_uppi: perhaps... when the system locks, can you use sysrq to restart or do you have to press the power/reset botton?
[18:35] <Darxus> It's actually getting converted to two charcters.
[18:36] <EvaLuaTe> Gnea, ok, I found a patch on their site that seems to work. Here's the link should you be interested: wget http://www.sputnick-area.net/scripts/vmware7.1.1-patch-kernel-2.6.35.bash
[18:36] <Noctis_Lux> Hi.
[18:36] <ddilinger> glithcd: there is also a chance that your ppa packages wont be compatibile with 10.10
[18:36] <Gnea> EvaLuaTe: awesome, cheers
[18:36] <ddilinger> glithcd: the command is sudo apt-get adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys <KEYID>
[18:36] <ddilinger> glithcd: but you need the id :)
[18:36] <mbroeker> Do you know why egroupware is not currently in maverick?
[18:36] <appi_uppi> Gnea, I mean, for the first login I am not able to view mouse pointer. But When I manually lock the screen and later unlock it will make mouse pointer visible on the desktop.
[18:37] <_Len> guys, Im using Maverick and when I plug the headset it doesnt make any sound. Can you help me?
[18:37] <EvaLuaTe> Gnea, and the exact page where I found it, should someone else ask, so you can advise them where to look: http://communities.vmware.com/message/1608187 :)
[18:37] <rrtty> hi
[18:37] <Gnea> appi_uppi: ooooooooh.... what kind of mouse?
[18:37] <EvaLuaTe> Gnea, and I thank you for you suggestion :)
[18:37] <glithcd> ddilinger, i dont even know how to get any of that
[18:37] <glithcd> ddilinger, im kinda lost in all this
[18:37] <Darxus> rxvt-unicode isn't correctly displaying unicode either.
[18:38] <ddilinger> glithcd: what is the actual line in sources.list
[18:38] <appi_uppi> Gnea, serial, samsung pleomax
[18:38] <Gnea> EvaLuaTe: no problem, make sure it works and then I'll consider making a global announcement
[18:38] <glithcd> ddilinger, would u be willing or interested in doing it for me?
[18:38] <Gnea> appi_uppi: what computer accepts serial mice anymore?
[18:38] <EvaLuaTe> Gnea, yeah, it works nicely
[18:38] <ddilinger> glithcd: i can prob fix it in 5 minutes with ssh :P
[18:38] <Gnea> EvaLuaTe: excellent.
[18:39] <ddilinger> glithcd: although, i usually send a bill for 2 hours for 2 minutes of work :P
[18:39] <mbroeker> btw, maverick has no support for oss emulation, phppgadmin needs lots of tweaks to work, php seems not compatible anymore to most web apps. will it be fixed?
[18:39] <EvaLuaTe> vmware just finished installing the kernel modules and runs nicely :)
[18:39] <glithcd> ddilinger, ok, so your gonna send me a bill??..lol
[18:39] <ddilinger> glithcd: yea, i'll address it to irc.freenode.net :P
[18:39] <glithcd> ddilinger, hahaha
[18:39] <glithcd> ddilinger, i dont think i have ssh setup
[18:39] <appi_uppi> Gnea, Its old desktop PC. 2.4 GHZ, Pentium 4 with 512 mb RAM

[18:40] <nbubuntu> Thanks bye :)
[18:40] <glithcd> ddilinger, i was thinking more along the lines of using teamviewer
[18:40] <BluesKaj> ddilinger, hmm hqnd holding is at a premium here these days , we seem to have quite few who aren't willing to learn.
[18:40] <ddilinger> glithcd: run 'find /etc/apt -type f | xargs grep ppa`

[18:44] <stefg> ddilinger: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto i think you'll need  a parameter for your audio card
[18:44] <ActionParsnip> William: not if you don't ask
[18:44] <William> i cant set my ubuntu resolution display to 1024x768
[18:44] <stefg> !fixres
[18:44] <ddilinger> stefg: even though the bluetooth shouldn't be going through the pc audio?
[18:45] <Gnea> William: what can you set it to?
[18:45] <ddilinger> stefg: because the pc audio works fine
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> William: run: lspci | grep -i vga ,websearch the output to find guides
[18:45] <soroush_> where copy cpp file to run by g++?
[18:45] <stefg> ddilinger: i think the "sound chip" will still manage the audio routing
[18:45] <SaRy> ddilinger, have you checked the 'Community Documentation ' it's useful though
[18:45] <ddilinger> stefg: hmm, well i'll browse through it, see what i find
[18:45] <Sickler> i just added sensor-applet and i cant find it when trying to add it to the panel
[18:46] <stefg> ddilinger: even if it doesn't do the D>A conversion
[18:46] <ddilinger> SaRy: i browsed through, but didn't find much relating to bluetooth besides 'it doesn't connect at all
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> soroush_: anywhere, the compiler gets added to $PATH
[18:46] <ddilinger> SaRy: seems half working bluetooth is an oddity :)
[18:46] <soroush_> ActionParsnip cpp is drive e
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> soroush_: if you have build essential installed you can compile from anylocation
[18:47] <soroush_> now how i can compile it?
[18:47] <ActionParsnip> soroush_: there is no "drive e" in linux
[18:47] <William> hi
[18:47] <glithcd> ddilinger, i cant get pastebin to work so i can post the output of that last command..
[18:47] <glithcd> ddilinger, and every page takes like 10 yrs to load..
[18:47] <ubuntu> ok, someone please enlighten me as to how I can verify that the install disc is OK... There is no option anymore when I boot from disc...
[18:47] <William> anyone can help me?
[18:47] <ddilinger> glithcd: yea, pastbin it
[18:47] <William> i cant set my resolution display for my lappy
[18:47] <ddilinger> glithcd: sounds like you should just install 10.04 again :)
[18:47] <soroush_> what do u mean?
[18:47] <trism> soroush_: this is really offtopic for this channel, try the guide here: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/C++_Programming/Examples/Hello_world
[18:47] <ActionParsnip> soroush_: you need to mount the partition containing the code. Then compile it
[18:47] <soroush_> i have 5 drive
[18:48] <ddilinger> glithcd: i'm not familiar with any way to backport an already upgraded system though
[18:48] <ActionParsnip> soroush_: windows incorrectly names partitions as drives
[18:48] <soroush_> ok
[18:48] <ubuntu> !verify
[18:48] <ActionParsnip> soroush_: maybe but you could have 3 partitions oneach and windows would show 15 "drives" when in reality there are 5 drives and 15 partitions
[18:48] <svm_invictvs> Heya.  What's the package that has the synaptics touchpad driver?
[18:49] <William> can anyone help me how to change my ubuntu resolution display ?
[18:49] <ActionParsnip> svm_invictvs: its part of a standard install xserver-xorg-input-synaptic (I believe)
[18:49] <ActionParsnip> William: I told you how to find guides using the lspci command
[18:49] <ubuntu> this is RIDICULOUS... why the hell can I not check for errors on the LIVE CD anymore????    What happened to my copy and paste?
[18:51] <ddilinger> ubuntuselur: md5sum the recorded disk and compare
[18:51] <ActionParsnip> Ubuntu: when the screen with the keyboard and stickman shows, press spacebar and you will see the old style menu
[18:51] <scribe> no highlight copy and middle click paste
[18:51] <srj> plop
[18:52] <fireinspace> ActionParsnip, the attitude stems from someone who has computer skills struggling thanks to Canonical's 'make it simple' ethos... If I find it diffocult, n00bs will find it impossible
[18:52] <ActionParsnip> Ubuntu: just because you don't know its there doesn't always mean it doesn't exist
[18:52] <srj> Hi. Im trying to figure out which /dev/file is my IR reciever that come with my laptop. please help
[18:52] <ddilinger> scribe: lol, i love that feature and people have been trying to remove it for 10 years because its not 'like windows'
[18:52] <ActionParsnip> fireinspace: it can still be asked mpore
[18:52] <fireinspace> ActionParsnip, but I'll refrain... shoot
[18:52] <scribe> how do I get my X11 copy and paste back?  Ubuntu isn't windows!
[18:52] <ActionParsnip> More elequently
[18:52] <William> ActionParsnip : hi.. when i try lspci command
[18:52] <William> this is what i get
[18:52] <William> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 10)
[18:53] <fireinspace> ActionParsnip, how might one go about verifying live cd, aka check for errors in every other previous version of Ubuntu since time began ;0)
[18:53] <ActionParsnip> William: ok then you will most likely need an xorg.conf file, its the only way I've seen those fly
[18:53] <scribe> ddilinger, they didn't remove it right?  There's some stupid option to make it right again, right?
[18:53] <KM0201> William: those devices suck under Linux(at least In my experience)
[18:53] <William> yes i know , but i would like to try it
[18:53] <ddilinger> scribe: yea, i think its an xorg option but a quick google isn't turning one up
[18:53] <William> ok where should i put this xorg.conf ?
[18:53] <ActionParsnip> fireinspace: same way, its just hidden behind a dumb splash in newer versions
[18:53] <fireinspace> ActionParsnip, reason I ask is gparted and software centre have both crashed in live cd environment
[18:53] <fireinspace> dubious to install
[18:54] <leo2007`> hi
[18:54] <captainc> What's the best way to proxy only certain application through a vpnc tunnel?
[18:54] <ActionParsnip> William: you'll need: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[18:54] <fireinspace> ActionParsnip, never had to remove dumb splash before... esc?
[18:54] <glithcd> ddilinger, and pastebin is not working correctly for me, it keeps wanting me to save a file call download.php instead of actually pasting anything
[18:54] <glithcd> ddilinger, is there another service that i can use?
[18:54] <Serraphyn> I just did a kernel upgrade via update manager and now my video keeps restarting in low graphics mode, can anyone help me?
[18:54] <ActionParsnip> fireinspace: any key will do, I use space
[18:54] <scribe> ddilinger, why do they have to screw with things! :)  I didn't ask for it to be turned off. :)  Thanks for the hint.  I'll look
[18:55] <glithcd> ddilinger, i dont know what to do..
[18:55] <ActionParsnip> fireinspace: its also how to access the memory test
[18:55] <fireinspace> ActionParsnip, 'dumb splash'... your words, not mine... I agree though
[18:55] <ddilinger> glithcd: download a livecd on another pc perhaps
[18:55] <firewalker22> Does anyone out there know where I could find a decent guide to configure nagios3 on ubuntu 10?
[18:55] <ddilinger> glithcd: it sounds like everything broke on upgrade,  a fresh 10.10 or 10.04 install is probably in order
[18:55] <glithcd> ddilinger, dammit.
[18:55] <William> ActionParsnip, when i try ur command , this file is a new conf file. so where should i get this conf file?
[18:55] <ActionParsnip> William: you will see a blank file, you can now websearch your output of lspci to find guides and xorg.conf files. You should rebootto test
[18:55] <glithcd> ddilinger, i didnt want to loose everything i have done in this ubuntu
[18:56] <fireinspace> ActionParsnip, I'll reboot and give it a once over.... I'm having to upgrade from Jaunty thanks to EOL... 80/
[18:56] <William> ok
[18:56] <William> after i paste the source
[18:56] <William> i just reboot?
[18:56] <glithcd> ddilinger, but i guess i have no choice
[18:56] <ddilinger> glithcd: tar up /etc, and your /home is on a seperate partition anyways right?
[18:56] <glithcd> ddilinger, fuck.
[18:56] <fireinspace> ActionParsnip, cheers though, appreciate it
[18:56] <aeon-ltd> firewalker22: not much but this should get you started https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Nagios3
[18:56] <ddilinger> glithcd: also do a dpkg --get-selections > packagelist
[18:56] <glithcd> ddilinger, no its not.
[18:56] <ddilinger> glithcd: well, in the future /home always goes on its own partition :)
[18:56] <maquis> I updated my desktop (nvidia box) to maverick, and now I can't get X to come up.  I keep ending up with just a blank screen and I have to reboot forcefully (via ssh) in order to fix it (killing X doesn't do anything, as X is in a bad state)
[18:56] <srj> Hi, Sorry for the cross-talk, but can someone help me figure out which /dev/file is my IR reciever that come with my laptop. thanks
[18:56] <DASPRiD> in the future, /home is in the "cloud" ;)
[18:57] <ActionParsnip> William: if the file doesn't yield a desktop, hold shift and boot to recovery root console and run: mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_old ,then reboot
[18:57] <glithcd> ddilinger, but then i would have to partition my hd
[18:57] <glithcd> ddilinger, i try to stay away from partitioning
[18:57] <ddilinger> glithcd: not sure how you would proceede, there is a way to resize ext partitions
[18:57] <TER0RR> hello..
[18:57] <ddilinger> glithcd: well, if you dont have partitions then you cant re-install without losing everything
[18:57] <fireinspace> ActionParsnip, if they intend on hiding these things they should make it obvious there are more advanced options accessible via keypress - just a thought
[18:57] <William> ok i wil try
[18:57] <ddilinger> glithcd: with a 10G / and everything else on /home, you can reinstall any time
[18:57]  * napster good night to all
[18:57] <whitewizard> hello
[18:57] <glithcd> ddilinger, ill try doin that then
[18:58]  * sresu says goodnight to napster
[18:58] <firewalker22> I am having trouble getting the ports of my router to be recongnized by nagios3 when I activate the commands in switch.cfg that are supposed to monitor the port-1 and reboot nagios it says there is a configuration error
[18:58] <ActionParsnip> William: you'll need to save the file before rebooting but yes. Good displays and decent video chips work together to see what res can be shown. In your case you need to tell the OS what's what
[18:58] <glithcd> ddilinger, i think im jus gonna delete 10.10, then reinstall
[18:58] <ddilinger> glithcd: probably the easiest solution
[18:58] <ddilinger> glithcd: if you have another pc make a tar of /etc and back that up, and also dpkg --get-selections
[18:58] <glithcd> ddilinger, so seriously i only need 10 gigs in the file system?
[18:58] <ddilinger> glithcd: 20 if you want, but generally / doesn't take up much space
[18:58] <glaucous> I'm not sure if fsck is running or not. At boot I see "EXT4-fs (sdc5): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)". And after that nothing happens. Although i happens on two other partitions as well.
[18:59] <ActionParsnip> fireinspace: if you look at the graphic its quite clear. Press the keyboard for human interaction ;).   I keep ending up with just a blank screen and I have to reboot forcefully (via ssh) in order to fix it (killing X doesn't do anything, as X is in a bad state)
[18:59] <glithcd> ddilinger, i usually have a buddy of mine helping me
[19:00] <sresu> I installed Ubuntu Lucid initially on my sysyem. To change it to Kubuntu I used the following commands - < sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop, sudo apt-get remove liborbit2 >. Now I want to have Ubuntu alone. What should be the right commands that will remove Kubuntu completely?
[19:00] <ddilinger> glithcd: well, dpkg --get-selections | grep install will get a list of all your packages
[19:00] <dimbos> hello guys
[19:00] <ActionParsnip> maquis: remove the proprietary driver then reboot to use the open driver then reinstall the proprietary driver
[19:00] <ddilinger> glithcd: then you can apt-get install that package list later
[19:00] <sandking> i tried to remove default keyring but it tells me that there's no .gnome2 dir!
[19:00] <sandking> where could it be stored ?
[19:00] <glithcd> ddilinger, ok
[19:01] <maquis> ActionParsnip: do you know off the top of your head where the driver is?  is it going to be in /lib/firmware?
[19:01] <Richie086> sandking: under your home folder?
[19:01] <scribe> Arg!  I can't work with copy/paste broken!  Who is responsible for this crap?!
[19:01] <glithcd> dpkg --get-selection just enter that in terminal?
[19:01] <ddilinger> scribe: when you figure it out post a bug against 10.10 for it
[19:01] <sandking> Richie086: ah. i thought that in main folder
[19:01] <Richie086> so /home/sandking/.gnome2
[19:01] <ddilinger> scribe: i guarantee your not the only one with that issue :)
[19:01] <ActionParsnip> sresu: kubuntu-desktop is only a metapackage and will only remove itself if you use that method. It does not remove the other packages it installs
[19:01] <glithcd> ddilinger, just enter this in terminal? dpkg --get-selection
[19:01] <rubbs> I'm trying to find out why my terminal is *NOT* beeping at me. I'm using screen and when someone pings me on irssi I don't get a "ding" sound. I've double check to see if visual bell is turned on, and it's not. It's set to audio bell. Anyone got any ideas?
[19:02] <ActionParsnip> maquis: for what?
[19:02] <Richie086> sandking: if you are not seeing .gnome2 in your home folder try ls -lh | grep .gnome2
[19:02] <maquis> ActionParsnip: nvidia
[19:02] <scribe> ddilinger, thanks for being supportive and sympathizing with me.  I will.
[19:02] <jamil_1> Hi, I have Kubuntu 10.10 and software upgrade from Kpackage kit gives a 403 error while update goes smoothly in the terminal
[19:02] <ActionParsnip> rubbs: sudo modprobe pcspkr ,may do it
[19:02] <Richie086> . means it will be hidden usually when you list the contents of the dir
[19:02] <ddilinger> glithcd: `dpkg --get-selections` lists all the packages, `dpkg --get-selections | grep '<tab>install$'` will get the list of installed packages (replace <tab> with Ctrl-V tab)
[19:02] <sresu> ActionParsnip: I said I used those command to install Kubuntu :)
[19:02] <maquis> ActionParsnip: I had used the hardware tool in 10.04 to add the driver
[19:02] <ActionParsnip> maquis: remove the packages using apt-get
[19:02] <sandking> Richie086: no, it's there. just the keyring file was named differently
[19:03] <Richie086> sandking: oh is it working now?
[19:03] <othniel> ubuntu 10.10 is perfect
[19:03] <glithcd> ddilinger, ok great thx
[19:03] <sresu> ActionParsnip: Now, how can I remove Kubuntu and install Ubuntu alone?
[19:03] <maquis> ActionParsnip: ok... i'll do that.  thanks!
[19:03] <sandking> i see login.keyring instead of default.keyring
[19:03] <dimbos> i got a trouble with ubuntu 10.10... sometimes it changes keyboard layouts randomly... what should i do?
[19:03] <ActionParsnip> sresu: I believe if you remove kde-core it will force the removeoff the kde apps
[19:03] <sandking> i suppose it's the same?
[19:03] <othniel> anyone using BURG?
[19:03] <Richie086> sandking: can you rename the file?
[19:03] <ddilinger> glithcd: `dpkg --get-selections | grep '<tab>install$' | cut -d '<tab>' -f 1` finally puts that list without the 'install' word at the end so it can be done with cat <filename> | sudo xargs apt-get intsall
[19:03] <aeon-ltd> !anyone | othniel
[19:03] <glithcd> othniel, burg is awesome.
[19:03] <Richie086> sandking: should not be an issue
[19:04] <The_Snake> hey there... can anyone tell me how to disable vsync? because it's messing somethings here.. sometimes computer gets stuck..
[19:04] <nobarking> is Ubuntu built on Debian stable with Ubuntu's own package updates & patches?
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> maquis: you can listthe installed packages with nvidia in and remove them
[19:04] <rubbs> ActionParsnip: I'm on a laptop without a physical system speaker. It used to use the Ubuntu drum before I upgraded to 10.10. is modpcskr for physical pc speakers?
[19:04] <mawst> othniel, yes
[19:04] <mawst> Good stuff.
[19:04] <sresu> ActionParsnip: There is no package of that name..
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> rubbs: not sure then
[19:04] <sandking> Richie086: bareword not allowed while strict subs in use...
[19:04] <Pici> nobarking: 10.04 LTS was built off of stable, but generally we sync from unstable.
[19:04] <aeon-ltd> nobarking: pretty much, and documentation as well
[19:05] <rubbs> ActionParsnip: ok, I'll try a few more things. thanks for your help
[19:05] <Jordan_U> Pici: *testing
[19:05] <ActionParsnip> sresu: dpkg -l |grep nvidia
[19:05] <sandking> Richie086: removing it should not make anything bad, right?
[19:05] <Richie086> sandking: what are u doing in order to get that error?
[19:05] <Pici> Jordan_U: er, right,
[19:05] <sresu> ActionParsnip: Nvidia? Was that for me?
[19:05] <Richie086> sandking: removing what?  the keyring file?
[19:05] <leonardoXfce> hi! IRC but in Spanish?

[19:07] <Pici> sresu: Check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome
[19:07] <Dulak> ddilinger: that's a lot of work, you can just feed that list verbatim to dpkg --set-selections and then run dselect to install the entire list in one go
[19:07] <Richie086> sandking: check pm
[19:07] <sandking> Richie086: well, i removed it anyway.
[19:07] <sandking> ;]

[19:11] <The_Snake> hey there... can anyone tell me how to disable vsync in radeon drivers? because it's messing somethings here.. sometimes computer gets stuck..
[19:11] <SaRy> imac, uGet , Downloader for X , SKDownloader .
[19:11] <imac> sary thnx :)
[19:12] <rawky> Hello all, anyone have to enter keychain twice after upping to 10.10?
 thats because of the vsync, the new kernel automaticly activates the vsync, so it's normal to be 84~85FPS if your monitor refresh rate is 85HZ
[19:14] <srj> Hi. Im trying to figure out which /dev/file is my IR reciever that come with my laptop. please help
[19:14] <imac>  is der ny way to bypass the proxy connection dying with censoring suggest me some software like your freedom for ubuntu
[19:14] <charmander33> The_Snake: how can i disable it?
[19:14] <eskofd> the new kernel causes screen flickering, is it because of that vsync thing? couldn't use it and have to use the older kerner now
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> The_Snake: unless you turn it off
[19:14] <djzn> hi folks, is "strongness" a word at all, in any case?
[19:14] <imac> 1
[19:14] <rawky> sure it's a word
 The_Snake: how can i disable it? ---- thats what im tring to find out here too
[19:14] <SaRy> dimbos, !see bug 629503
[19:14] <gol10dr> Any ideas how to reset the updates warning in 10.10 when you log in?
[19:15] <djzn> rawky: isn't "strength" used instead of it?
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> djzn: its a bit crass but it should be ok
[19:15] <imac> djzn :D
[19:15] <charmander33> where is xorg.conf or similar here? why is not at /etc/X11 ?
[19:15] <rawky> djzn: maybe yu're right
[19:15] <djzn> ActionParsnip: it is grammar incorrent, right?
 Yes but how do i turn it off? how do i turn vsync off?
[19:15] <imac> haha
[19:15] <jurgen> is there a channel for questions about mdadm?
[19:15] <djzn> I am just checking this because a professor just came with this today
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> djzn: anglasizing words like that isn't gramatically graceful but should be acceptable imho
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> The_Snake: depends on the video chip
[19:16] <Gnea> !raid | jurgen
[19:16] <dimbos> Sary thanx, but it didn't help :(
[19:16] <mbeierl> anyone know how to migrate all my tags and such from f-spot to shotwell?
[19:16] <mernilio> hi all!
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> The_Snake: nvidia-settings can beused for nvidia cards to turn it off easily
[19:16] <djzn> ActionParsnip: I know... however, anyone who writes "strongness" on a class, it is incorret, right
[19:16] <Gnea> jurgen: could try #raid
[19:16] <Pici> jurgen: #ubuntu-server may be able to help as well.
[19:16] <iMac> .
[19:16] <mernilio> and i salute you!
[19:16] <SaRy> dimbos, i know ..:S
[19:17] <ActionParsnip> djzn: i'd say incorrect as it should be worded better
 if you want xorg to be on etc/x11 u have to reconfigure it and than move the - xorg.conf.new file to that folder with name xorg.conf and than the X will start using that file
[19:17] <dimbos> Sary mocking me? :)
[19:17] <djzn> ActionParsnip: what i mean is... .people get the meaning, but should never be written in anything like a newspaper or such thing
[19:18] <Maahes> jurgen: also the wikipedia page for mdadm is a quick reference, with extra sources: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mdadm
[19:18] <Pici> djzn: I'd say that its not Ubuntu related and should be answered in ##english
[19:18] <aeon-ltd> !ot | djzn
[19:18] <ActionParsnip> djzn: sure in casual stuff it should be fine. Published articles would be laughed at
 my chip is an ATI IGP 9100 - and im using the radeon drivers
[19:19] <hackamore> new to ubuntu server
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> The_Snake: not sure there. I avoid ati like Paris Hilton avoids talent. If they have a gui it may be in there
[19:19] <mernilio> melb you know.. i have learned the biggest aussi towns as in an uppside spade.sidney, peart and .. i dont know..
[19:19] <SaRy> lol
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> The_Snake: if not then you'll need an xorg.conf to set vsync off
[19:19] <Pici> !ot | mernilio
[19:20] <mernilio> alice spring and darwin! :-)
 the only "kind off GUI" is the driconf and i can not disable it there
[19:20]  * mernilio win! :-)
[19:20] <brick_> I have a Video Blue Ray file, I want to convert it to ISO with Devede, Will that file convert to DVD so it'll play on my DVD player?
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> The_Snake: then i'd get searching, if you don't have an xorg.conf then you can just have the option in there and the rest will be done by udev etc
[19:21] <mernilio> btw. i dont like you ubutnu people trashing me!
 i have the xorg.conf file, just don't know what command to disable vsync
[19:21] <ActionParsnip> mernilio: stay ontopic and you'll be fine :)

[19:25] <Guest93791> hi can someone help im looking for tutorial on BT4 tools
[19:25] <sresu> How to restart using CLI?
[19:25] <sresu> using commands?
[19:25] <Maahes> brick_: I think you're better off looking for forums on devede, doing strange things with iso's and getting them to work with your dvd player are usually pretty finnicky things to do, and probably beyond the scope of expertise here.

[19:39] <pepo> hi to all people !!!
[19:39] <pepo> did anybody use dd utility?
[19:39] <sresu> Is it right to assume that sticking to a particular Ubuntu/Linux distribution and updating only the kernel will still give me a running system, howsoever oudated it maybe in applications?
[19:39] <fireinspace> jags, well change owner then? !chown
[19:39] <giampaolo> fireinspace: I've just installed flashplugin-nonfree and flashplugin-installer and it's a little better than before
[19:40] <giampaolo> but it still sucks
[19:40] <delaman> I am trying to use tsMuxeR but i get this error every time http://i.imgur.com/Zn1FT.png   Any ideas to what is the problem?
[19:40] <fireinspace> giampaolo, what gfx card/driver
[19:40] <jags> fireinspace, I'll look that up
[19:40] <sporkboy> jags: man fstab may have the answer to your question.
[19:40] <giampaolo> what's recommended to have a decent flash plugin? heck! we are in 2010
[19:40] <houserockr> hi there! where can i activate the list view in nautilus in ubuntu maverick?
[19:40] <jags> there was a gui app that managed fstab for you, anyone remember the name?
[19:40] <KM0201> giampaolo: adobe flash works fine...
[19:40] <fireinspace> jags, is it external or what?
[19:40] <danharris83> adobe-flash-install  in synaptic package manager
[19:41] <jags> fireinspace, its internal
[19:41] <fireinspace> what mount point?
[19:41] <DaZ> houserockr: view->list ? >:
[19:41] <MrRoboto> has scribus <IP_ADDRESS> been released for ubuntu?
[19:42] <fireinspace> giampaolo, you only need flashplugin-nonfree
[19:42] <soroush_> hi again, how i can see network status (send,recive,...) like "netstat" in windows command promt?
[19:42] <jags> fireinspace, its /dev/sdb1 mounted at /media/
[19:42] <houserockr> DaZ: don't have that option :/
[19:42] <fireinspace> jags, where in media?
[19:42] <DaZ> houserockr: ctrl+2?
[19:42] <jags> fireinspace, /media/Tiamat
[19:43] <DaZ> houserockr: are you sure it's nautilus?
[19:43] <giampaolo> danharris83: I don't have a package called "adobe-flash-install" in synaptic
[19:43] <fireinspace> jags, what username?
[19:43] <jags> fireinspace, its jags
[19:43] <houserockr> DaZ: yep, about says its nautilus version 2.32.0
[19:43] <houserockr> DaZ: ctrl+2 doesn't work either

[19:44] <bredoto> Does anybody knows how to start up some script using runlevel under non root user?
[19:45] <pepo> people! I have a 300GB hard drive. when i do dd if=/dev/zero of=temp bs=1M count=3096 I get 61.6 MB/s (dual xeon 2.4, 2GB memory), but when I do the same command on a desktop with Intel i7 Core 500GB hard drive I get 46.2 MB/s. Could somebody give me some ideas where to dig?
[19:46] <fireinspace> pepo, are the HDD's different speeds?
[19:47] <vik> So does one just shout out questions here or how does it work?
[19:47] <pepo> nope 300GB drive Seagate ST3300831AS and 500GB drive Seagate 3500841AS, both 3Gbit/s
[19:48] <GregValheru> vik, yes just ask away
[19:48] <fireinspace> vik, yeah, thogh the way you ask determines the chance of help
[19:48] <vik> Ok. Ill do my best :)
[19:48] <fireinspace> s/thogh/though
[19:48] <soroush_> somebody help me   how i can see network status (send,recive,...) like "netstat" in windows command promt?
[19:48] <bredoto> I have a script that should be executed as regular user. How cat i put them in to the runlevel in such a way that after sys reboot it starts under reg user!!!!!
[19:48] <sporkboy> soroush: there's netstat there too
[19:48] <pepo> ups. 300GB drive 150 data transfer rate and 500GB 300 i/o data transfer rate
[19:49] <mawst> soroush_, nettop?
[19:49] <soroush_> i dont know
[19:49] <soroush_> i new linux user
[19:49] <pepo> looks like 500GB drive work slower than 300GB, how it is possible? O_o
[19:49] <fireinspace> soroush_, netstat?
[19:50] <soroush_> netstat is windows
[19:50] <fireinspace> soroush_, netstat works here ;0)
[19:50] <mawst> soroush_, netstat is a Unix command.
[19:50] <fireinspace> soroush_, have you even tried?
[19:50] <vik> I Installed ruby by running sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1-full in the terminal. This seemed to work fine but two things are peculiar: 1: the way to run ruby is not ruby, but ruby1.9.1 and 2: running ruby1.9.1 -v gets me ruby 1.9.2p0 (2010-08-18 revision 29036) [i686-linux]
[19:50] <sporkboy> soroush_, try it... linux has netstat. trust me.
[19:50] <tdn> I am considering buying a Macbook or Macbook Pro. However, I am not sure if the hardware (+ periphirals) is fully supported by Ubuntu. How can I verify that it is? Do you have any experience with Ubuntu on Apple hardware?
[19:50] <mawst> Probably before it was a windows one.
[19:50] <mawst> :P
[19:50] <soroush_> no :D
[19:50] <soroush_> ok
[19:50] <fireinspace> soroush_, doh!
[19:51] <bredoto> hm
[19:51] <klandwehr> lol

[19:52] <pepo> any ideas?
[19:52] <jay_> Just updated to 10.10, it has eeming randomly logged me out twice now, known issue?
 any ideas?
[19:53] <fireinspace> pepo, well ,your using a different size drive and different cpu... I'm not surprised... rated speeds of drives are not always 100% accurate
[19:53] <sporkboy> Okay, X not working after maverick upgrade, can't find any errors, can't get it to load outside of failsafe mode. anybody?
[19:53] <fireinspace> pepo, maybe try the larger drive in the xeon machine.. see if that makes a difference?
[19:53] <zeating> Whenever i boot ubuntu on my laptop battery it freezes, and whenever i take out the power it freezes. so basically 10.10 renders my laptop useless
 but why on a old xeon hard drive works faster than on Intel i7?
[19:53] <zeating> does anyone know what could be causing this
[19:54] <zeating> its so frustrating :(
[19:54] <dima_> i need driver for ati mobility radeon 2400, but the official driver defenatly have problems, any sugestions?
[19:54] <fireinspace> xeon are pretty good
[19:55] <dima_> xeon?

 old xeon better than i7..... never
[19:55] <dima_> anyone?

[19:57] <email1459> hi there, is anybody who can help me: i install ubuntu nebook is very nice and good but i have no microfone, what can i do?

[20:02] <BluesKaj> Weyome, if it isn't installed you'll get a message like , The program 'ruby' is currently not installed.
[20:02] <test1_> I installed ubuntu 10.10 from scrach, and it create only one big partition "/" , in 10.04 it create "/" partition for the system, and "/home" partition, in 10.10 the default partition allocation is only one big partition?

[20:03] <FloodBot1> Surlaw: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:03] <zeating> Whenever i boot ubuntu on my laptop battery it freezes, and whenever i take out the power it freezes. so basically 10.10 renders my laptop useless
[20:03] <fireinspace> nertil, but why not use ssh?
[20:04] <nertil> fireinspace,  in terminal?
[20:04] <fireinspace> nertil, yeah
[20:04] <nertil> okk
[20:04] <fireinspace> test1_, that has always been the default...
[20:04] <luca> hi - I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my Asus EEE PC. Would like to use two finger scrolling, but I can't activate the option. Help? :)
[20:04] <BluesKaj> test1_, did yoi install 10.10 to / , with manual partitioning option or did you use the auto-partitioner
[20:04] <Weyome> BluesKaj: Yeah, thats what I got before, and is what I still get when I run ruby -v: The program 'ruby' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
[20:04] <Weyome> sudo apt-get install ruby
[20:04] <Rikku> hello?
[20:04] <fireinspace> test1_, you ahve to manually partition (advanced) during install to set a seperate /home
[20:05] <test1_> I choose the "use entire disk
[20:05] <test1_> I choose the "use entire disk" option
[20:05] <Rikku> the sound keeps bugging out
[20:05] <Weyome> BluesKaj: Thx for your effort in helping me btw!
[20:05] <fireinspace> test1_, well what did you expect?  that will do exactly that!?!
[20:05] <Maahes> Weyome: type which ruby
[20:06] <BluesKaj> Weyome, np.
[20:06] <aquarat> it's a bit worrying when you type "sudo nickserv______" to identify yourself :/
[20:06] <Weyome> Maahes: which ruby didnt return anything
[20:06] <test1_> to allocate and create the partition automaticaly, including /home
[20:06] <domcod> nertil: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/putty
[20:06] <fireinspace> test1_, Use entire disk means NO seperate /home partition... /home is instead placed on the / partition
[20:06] <Maahes> Weyome: okay, so its definitely not installed. (you could have had it installed to somewhere not in your path)
[20:07] <test1_> ohh I see..
[20:07] <Weyome> Maahes: which ruby1.9.1 did return /usr/bin/ruby1.9.1 on the other hand
[20:07] <test1_> should I reinstall it?
[20:07] <maquis> okay, i was in here earlier with X problems on my server, and someone (ActionParsnip) is the nick coming to mind, but I'm not certain) suggested I remove nvidia packages, then reboot, then re-install them.  I was able to get in without the nvidia packages, but when I went and re-installed them, X went back into a bad state after I rebooted...
[20:08] <Maahes> Weyome: create a symlink of ruby1.9.1 called ruby in usr/bin
[20:08] <under0> Hi. I've to print a web page but there is not my printer. Why? lsusb ->  Bus 001 Device 005: ID 03f0:7611 Hewlett-Packard DeskJet F2492 All-in-One
[20:09] <DaZ> test1_: you can live without /home on separate partition
[20:09] <Weyome> Maahes: Ok. Need to read up on symlink then. Will all ruby stuff work if its through this link?
[20:09] <BluesKaj> maquis, maybe this method will help http://pastebin.com/qWg96z8C
[20:09] <fireinspace> DaZ, though it is better practice to have a seperate /home
[20:09] <Rikku> has the sound bug been fixed for meerkat?
[20:09] <DaZ> it is
[20:09] <Rikku> the sound keeps bugging out
[20:09] <Maahes> Weyome: then make sure its executable. If ruby1.9.1 is "ruby" the symlink just executes it, try going into usr/bin and doing ./ruby1.9.1 just to check
[20:10] <test1_> ok.. I think I'll install gparted and create another partition for /home
[20:10] <test1_> thanks you all
[20:10] <Weyome> Maahes: Ok. Will do. Thanks alot!
[20:11] <lateigne> bonsoir

[20:14] <datacrusher> how do i find a post that iv posted a message in ubuntuforum? i forgot to subscribe to it and cant find in my cp where is my "postings"
[20:15] <sporkboy> okay... this obviously isn't gonna work... is there a way to downgrade back to 9.04?
[20:15] <sporkboy> errr... 10.04, not 9.04. nerr.
[20:16] <Da_Wrecka> sporkboy: Back up your /home directory (assuming you don't have a /home partition) and reinstall. That's about the only way I've found to downgrade Ubuntu
[20:16] <Tigger_Yum-Yum> is it just my hardware or does linux in general respond slower then windows? anyone?
[20:16] <dli> sporkboy, is it absolutely needed?
[20:16] <maquis> BluesKaj: I'll ook into that... thanks!
[20:16] <sporkboy> dli, I can't get X to load out of failsafe mode, and now I can't get apt to work right.
[20:16] <dli> Tigger_Yum-Yum, generally not true
[20:16] <Nick2> Is Ubuntu 6.06 still supported?
[20:17] <bjsnider> maquis, what hardware is this?
[20:17] <Da_Wrecka> wow, that's a bit more of a harsh situation than mine...
[20:17] <Pici> Nick2: On the server, yes.
[20:17] <tensorpudding> Nick2: yes
[20:17] <Nick2> ok, thanks
[20:17] <Da_Wrecka> Mine, I downgraded from 10.10 to 10.04 because I couldn't put up with that Unity awfulness
[20:17] <dli> sporkboy, sudo apt-get update
[20:17] <Tigger_Yum-Yum> well no matter which distro, kernel, window manager i use its always a little more sluggish then any version of windoze i use dli
[20:17] <maquis> BluesKaj: that's actually what i did...
[20:18] <maquis> bjsnider: lemme check
[20:18] <KM0201> Da_Wrecka, why not just put a normal gnome interface on the netbook?
[20:18] <dli> Tigger_Yum-Yum, I feel the opposite, and I would delete the 'a little' though

[20:19] <Rikku> i am currently running maverick meerkat 10.10
[20:19] <bjsnider> maquis, what driver are you trying to use?
[20:19] <maquis> (sorry, 1-year-old really wants my keyboard) :)
[20:19] <Tigger_Yum-Yum> what could i be doing wrong then dli... what is causing me to have poor results
[20:19] <dli> Tigger_Yum-Yum, if you ever tried super-pi, you would notice that it's at least 10% faster in linux
[20:19] <maquis> bjsnider: i tried to install nvidia-common
[20:19] <Rikku> the sound fades out when i play something
[20:19] <bjsnider> maquis, you mean nvidia-current?
[20:19] <maquis> bjsnider: yeah...
[20:19] <maquis> sorry
[20:20] <dli> Tigger_Yum-Yum, hard to say, do benchmarking yourself :(
[20:20] <bjsnider> maquis, what driver does jockey recoomend?
[20:20] <BluesKaj> maquis, I think nvidia -current will work with the 6150
[20:20] <Tigger_Yum-Yum> im not trying to knock linux dli i want to use it but i need it to pull its weight
[20:20] <maquis> jockey?
[20:21] <bjsnider> maquis, hardware drivers manager
[20:21] <dli> Tigger_Yum-Yum, also, you'd better provide more info and be more specific
[20:21] <sporkboy> dli, update works, but it says 0 upgrades available, then when I try to install, says 150 to install, then fails with: E: Could not perform immediate configuration on 'libbz2-1.0'.Please see man 5 apt.conf under APT::Immediate-Configure for details. (2)
[20:21] <maquis> i tried to use the "additional drivers" thing from inside gnome, but it said i wasn't using any drivers
[20:21] <twinkie_addict> the neuvoue driver works pretty well in 10.10 since my tnt2 drivers arnt suported any more
[20:21] <maquis> was I using the wrong tool?
[20:21] <Da_Wrecka> KM0201: Because every time I tried to use regular GNOME all I got was a desktop with a couple of icons on it. No taskbar for running applications, no menus for loading applications short of Alt-F1.
[20:21] <Tigger_Yum-Yum> i dont understand how i can go from running a pile of apps on windows 7 eating up half my cpu and ram just idling to nearly using nothing running linux but still having a slower response time
[20:22] <bjsnider> maquis, it should appear and recommend a driver. if not launch it manually
[20:22] <Targeter> don't you love that
[20:22] <KM0201> Da_Wrecka, strange, gnome works flawlessly on my netbook
[20:22] <dli> sporkboy, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9966852
[20:22] <maquis> bjsnider: should appear when?  and if I'm launching in manually, is it something other than the "additional drivers" menu under settings->administration?
[20:23] <bjsnider> maquis, that is the one
[20:23] <Da_Wrecka> KM0201: Are you using the specific Netbook release, or the Desktop release?
[20:23] <maquis> bjsnider: ok... let me remove nvidia-current again and get rid of my xorg.conf again so I can get into that box again
[20:23] <dli> Tigger_Yum-Yum, response time of what? example?
[20:24] <bjsnider> maquis, jockey adds a xorg.conf automatically when you activate a driver
[20:24] <KM0201> Da_Wrecka, desktop release.
[20:24] <Tigger_Yum-Yum> everything dli... opening folders... animations... programs open faster in general but still have a sluggish feel once open
[20:24] <maquis>   bjsnider ok... i'll look at that
[20:24] <Da_Wrecka> that may be why
[20:24] <Da_Wrecka> I was using the Netbook release
[20:24] <maquis> bjsnider: do i want to check jockey before installing the driver, then?
[20:25] <bjsnider> maquis, activate the driver through jockey. do not do it manually
[20:25] <sporkboy> dli, yes, that's my problem, but I don't see a solution posted.
[20:25] <Targeter> netbook release is slightly optimized more for netbooks hence why it feels more responsive on them
[20:25] <Belinrahs> I just did the upgrade to maverick and upon checking xrandr - it now thinks my display is connected via "HDMI-1" whereas 10.04 thought it was DVI-I-1. How can I make this display be recognized as dvi-i-1?
[20:25] <KM0201> Targeter, i guess i disagree.. it felt sluggish and awkard to me... I like a normal gnome on my netbook far better
[20:26] <Tigger_Yum-Yum> i run a dual core amd cpu thats 32/64 dli but i always use 32 bit distros for compatibility sake... would that be the problem dli?
[20:26] <sporkboy> but I have to go.
[20:26] <maquis> bjsnider: ok... I removed nvidia-current, removed my xorg.conf, and rebooted.  then, i went to system->administration->additional drivers
[20:26] <dli> Tigger_Yum-Yum, for desktop response time, you may want to try faster desktops than ubuntu-desktop, sudo apt-get install xfce lxde
[20:26] <maquis> it says "no proprietary drivers are in use on this system"
[20:26] <Tigger_Yum-Yum> (i use windows 32 bit though as well dli)
[20:26] <iulhk> any idea about "update-rc.d: warning: /etc/init.d/openfire missing LSB information"?
[20:26] <bjsnider> maquis, make sure all modalias packages are installed
[20:27] <dli> Tigger_Yum-Yum, of course, 64bit is recommended, unless you know for 100% sure that you need 32bit, even so, I suggest a 32bit chroot, or virtual machine for that
[20:27] <maquis> bjsnider: so, install nvidia-current-modaliases or all the nvidia-modaliases?
[20:27] <bjsnider> maquis, all of them
[20:27] <Tigger_Yum-Yum> 32bit chroot? or vm for what dli?
[20:28] <meowsus> Does anyone here use VNC on their Android Phone to controll their Ubuntu box?
[20:28] <dli> Tigger_Yum-Yum, one more rule, I don't use windows, I don't understand windows, so, you don't have to tell me anything about windows
[20:28] <zeating> how come when i switched to ubuntu 10.10 64 bit i cannot use my laptop without plugging it into the AC
[20:28] <zeating> it locks up on boot with just battery
[20:28] <maquis> bjsnider: ah... okay, i might've accidentally removed these when I was previously trying to get things working... :)
[20:28] <Rikku> my sound keeps fading out when playing music or video.. any fixes?
[20:29] <Tigger_Yum-Yum> whats a 32bit "chroot" dli and what should i use it for?
[20:29] <dli> Tigger_Yum-Yum, to try schroot: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot
[20:29] <dli> Tigger_Yum-Yum, to try KVM: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM
[20:29] <fr33mind> hi
[20:29] <maquis> bjsnider: ok... installed those, the hardware manager didn't see anything still, so i'm rebooting and will try again
[20:30] <fr33mind> isn't there a package to give extra functionalities to the touchpad?
[20:30] <Tigger_Yum-Yum> i think ill try a 64b xfce distro dli, thanks for the help
[20:31] <dli> Tigger_Yum-Yum, xfce is good compromise for speed and functionality
[20:31] <maquis> bjsnider: still no love.  :(
[20:32] <Rikku> i have sound in my browser but not in any other programs
[20:34] <maquis> bjsnider: figured it out (with your help)!  I had removed nvidia-common as well as nvidia-current before, so that was preventing it from seeing it

[20:37] <poincare101> Hello everyone. I just got a new 1 TB hard drive, and right now, I'm just gonna put ubuntu on it. However, later on, can I partition ubuntu so that windows 7 can join in?
[20:37] <h00k> poincare101: yes, you can resize your partition
[20:37] <h00k> !dualboot | poincare101
[20:38] <glaucous> I was modifying the location of  var by moving it to another drive, this did however not result successfully and i reverted it by copying it back to /var. However, at boot I get this: "Could not update ICEauthority file /var/lib/gdm/.ICEauthoriy". And after that: "There is a problem with the configuration server. (/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256)"
[20:38] <_CommandeR_> any info about raid 0 and linux ?
[20:38] <tensorpudding> !raid
[20:39] <maquis> bjsnider: erm... just finally finished installing and I rebooted... and it's stuck again :(
[20:39] <tensorpudding> it can be done using mdadm
[20:39] <poincare101> h00k: thx.
[20:39] <brontoeee> what is the default button order in guis? (if on right side)? i have x,_,o
[20:39] <tensorpudding> that's it
[20:39] <h00k> poincare101: no prob, there's a part on the wiki about resizing, too
[20:39] <maquis> i'm really confuddled by this thing
[20:39] <tensorpudding> oh, on the right
[20:40] <tensorpudding> usually _,o,x
[20:40] <_CommandeR_> tensorpudding, but i do not want to have software raid
[20:40] <tensorpudding> which is not quite inverted
[20:40] <brontoeee> tensorpudding, ok
[20:40] <tensorpudding> _CommandeR_: got a raid card?
[20:40] <bjsnider> maquis, which driver did it recommend?
[20:40] <_CommandeR_> tensorpudding, I already have Raid 0 running with 3 partitions created and running NTFS on them

[20:42] <xckpd7> and another question: why isn't maverick letting me drag windows across to different workspaces?
[20:42] <brontoeee> i meant on the left side really ...
[20:42] <maquis> bjsnider: ummm...  there were two... and I selected the one it said was recommended...

[20:43] <maquis> bjsnider: will try that

[20:45] <_CommandeR_> tensorpudding, well after reading i guess it is fakeraid, but one issue. Gparted read my drives but not the partition tables. How do i make it read the partition tables to then resize my partitions?

[20:46] <xckpd7> I even try to drag the little icon in workspaces to another and that doesn't work eithe
[20:46] <ajsie> if google chrome os is built on ubuntu .. doesnt that mean you can go down to ubuntu level and do stuff on the shell?

[20:49] <ZloiKotFAQ> ëþäèèè
[20:50] <alan__> James-Blaze: I'm not sure it shouldn't do that though. Try reboot and boot the disk when its about to start and it should give you the GUI.

[20:52] <Deathspawn> nevermind, sudo nautilus gave me access...
[20:52] <bjsnider> maquis, in that case your hardware probably isn't currently supported by the nvidia driver. lots of people are in that situation at the moment
[20:52] <maquis> bjsnider: did maverick take out support?

[21:05] <Deathspawn> Jacen: does a hard reboot work? (hit power button till it shuts down then turn back on) I have a similar problem with a dell laptop and i just hard reboot it and sometimes i get the screen, and sometimes it boots fine.
[21:05] <Jacen> where does wubi save the file whn you run it?
[21:06] <Jacen> and I've tried rebooting it multiple times...still doesnt work
[21:06] <sebsebseb> Jacen: puts a file on the Windows partition for Ubuntu
[21:06] <Martijnvdc> Hi, when i try to mount my external hard drive as user, i get the following error: "User doesn't have privilege to mount. For more information please see: http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#unprivileged" when i do what the guide says, i still have the same error, what can be done about this please?
[21:06] <ace_steel> Jacen:why don't u try installing it by usb stick?!?
 sudo.
[21:06] <Jacen> I guess I'll try that next
[21:07] <Jacen> miss ubuntu :(
 i'm trying not to use sudo
[21:07] <alan__> I still think arch linux still beats ubuntu.
[21:07] <sebsebseb> Jacen: lap tops tend to get the problems,  and some computers Ubuntu doesn't like at all,  may depend on the version though.  However sometimes other distros work much better on a computer than Ubuntu,  but I would suggest trying a previous version of Ubuntu such as 10.04, before considering trying another distro.
[21:08] <Mathuin> I am about to report a bug with the Indicator Applet with regard to the mute indicator.  apport-bug wants to know if it's a "sound/audio related problem" or a "display (X.org)" problem.  I think they're talking about drivers there and this isn't a driver issue but an app issue.  I just wanted to make sure, though.
[21:08] <Jacen> I tried 10.04 before 10.10 came out
[21:08] <sebsebseb> Jacen: same problem?
[21:08] <Jacen> yep
[21:08] <ace_steel> Jacen:i suggest u go with 9.10 first
[21:08] <sebsebseb> Jacen: I am not sure which Nivida card you got, but its not a really fancy one right?
[21:08] <Jacen> Its pretty nice
[21:08] <Jacen> its a 1gb
[21:08] <sebsebseb> Jacen: Ubuntu tends to work best with standard hardware
[21:09] <sebsebseb> Jacen: also as ace_steel is suggesting 9.10 may be a good idea to try
[21:09] <KM0201> Jacen, that's probably a 9x... how does lspci identify it?
[21:09] <Martijnvdc> alan__:  i'm trying not to use sudo
[21:09] <alan__> okay.
[21:09] <Rosbuntu> without sudo what can u use
[21:09] <Rosbuntu> my ubuntu is damn slow
[21:09] <alan__> Rosbuntu want to know why?
[21:09] <alan__> Adobe flash :)
[21:09] <Martijnvdc> it's not possible to mount a device without root privileges??
[21:10] <Rosbuntu> i dont know why it is slow
[21:10] <alan__> Don't think so no.
[21:10] <sebsebseb> alan__: ArchLinux isn't really for newbies, so not a great one to recommend to many people
[21:10] <Rosbuntu> if u know let me know
[21:10] <KM0201> alan__,  i dont have probs w/ flash on my Desktop(Nvidia graphics) on my Laptop.. it's a bit more an issue..
[21:10] <Jacen> KM0201: I'm not sure what you mean
[21:10] <KM0201> Jacen, nevermind, i saw where you responded a minute ago
[21:10] <ArtArfon> Im beefing up antivirus scanning on the gui plane, the plane boss :) http://mange.dynalias.org/linux/gadmin-antivirus/screenshots/
[21:10] <alan__> Rosbuntu its adobe flash. - Go to terminal type: top -> Check witch is taking the most cpu/memory.
[21:11] <albertito> hi! my terminal bell is not working (probably it hasn't been working for a long time), and I can't enable it. It does not work on xfce-terminal (my regular terminal), xterm, or gnome-terminal. beep works, tho. Any ideas about what may be going on?
[21:11] <Rosbuntu> okk
[21:11] <Jacen> so I should try an older version of Ubuntu or another type of Linux?
[21:11] <albertito> I've tried enabling it with xset, and in the options of both xfce-terminal and gnome-terminal, but it's still not working
[21:11] <sebsebseb> Jacen: it may just be a Plymouth issue
[21:11] <sebsebseb> Jacen: the boot up
[21:11] <sebsebseb> Jacen: that 10.04 and 10.10 use
[21:12] <alan__> ArtArfon: What language is that c?
[21:12] <ArtArfon> C
[21:12] <ArtArfon> GTK+
[21:12] <acer_> Jordan_U, http://paste.ubuntu.com/513375/
[21:12] <Jacen> Well darn
[21:12] <sebsebseb> Jacen: may be an issue with Plymouth itself, or just the way Ubuntu has done it.  9.10 uses Xsplash instead, and that may work better
[21:12] <alan__> Thought so
[21:12] <Jacen> Well thanks guys!
[21:12] <Jacen> I'll try it and see
[21:12] <sebsebseb> Jacen: 9.10 also is still supported untill the end of April next year
[21:13] <Rosbuntu> How can i use orangeHRM in my ubuntu
[21:13] <ArtArfon> alan__: I think ill drop the quarantine button because it can hide viruses or give false positives. What do any of you think ?
[21:13] <sebsebseb> !virus | ArtArfon
[21:13] <alan__> ArtArfon: Yeah go for it
[21:14] <ArtArfon> alan__: I have it linked to a popup that tells the user to remove the file with the remove button or reinstall the system to be secure (as it is)
[21:14] <alan__> Yeah.
[21:15] <alan__> ArtArfon: Whats this for ubuntu?
[21:15] <Jordan_U> acer_: What commands are you using toboot from the grub shell?
[21:15] <defib> Whenanyone has a chance, I'm trying to get compiz to work with my fresh install of 10.10
[21:15] <ArtArfon> alan__: All Open Source systems
[21:15] <ArtArfon> alan__: Itll be in ubuntu as well
[21:16] <Jacen> Can someone link me to the 9.10  download?
[21:16] <sebsebseb> Jacen: make sure to md5sum check as well ideally
[21:16] <kevin_> Hello! How do I get to the pure-text-only command line black screen with white letters and nothing else mode? I can't seem to figure it out.
[21:16] <alan__> Jacen: Its on the website.
[21:16] <acer_> Jordan_U, not sure because I use the auto complete function.
[21:16] <sebsebseb> Jacen: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10
[21:16] <erUSUL> kevin_: crtl + alt + f1
[21:16] <sebsebseb> acer_: no not 9.10
[21:16] <sebsebseb> acer_: uh wrongo ne
[21:16] <h00k> kevin_: try a TTY: ctrl+alt+f1 through f7, then the graphics are back on ctrl-alt-f8
[21:16] <sebsebseb> alan__: no not 9.10,  in the above link though yes
[21:17] <Jordan_U> acer_: Can you try using the recovery mode option from the grub menu?
[21:17]  * Rosbuntu is sleepy
[21:17] <sebsebseb> !md5sum | Jacen
[21:17] <acer_> Jordan_U, but its linux ... initrd ... boot
[21:17] <sebsebseb> Jacen: and the codes you compare the ISO to are on that 9.10 section as well
[21:17] <kevin_> erUSUL, h00k, I tried those, but they didn't work.
[21:17] <acer_> Jordan_U, how does it work?
[21:17] <erUSUL> !doesntwork
[21:17] <kevin_> heh
[21:18] <kevin_> It doesn't have any outcome. I press the buttons, nothing happens.
[21:18] <alan__> http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors
[21:18] <alan__> They are all listed there.
[21:18] <sebsebseb> Jordan_U: you could try 8.04.4 the previous Long Term Support release, which like 9.10 gets support on desktop untill end of April next year.  and if none of these work,  loads of great alternative distros out there :)
[21:18] <Jordan_U> acer_: It just passes different kernel parameters. I suspect the splash screen may be what's causing the reboot (and the recovery mode option doesn't include the "splash" kernel parameter)
[21:18] <sebsebseb> Jacen: ^^^^^
[21:18] <sebsebseb> above
[21:19] <kevin_> erUSUL, h00k, I've also tried /etc/init.d/gdm stop, but that didn't work either
[21:19] <acer_> Jordan_U, oh, if you mean the variations I've already tryed all of them. doesn't work :(
[21:19] <alan__> Told you they're listed on the site :)
[21:19] <Jacen> oh okay
[21:19] <erUSUL> kevin_: sudo stop gdm && sudo pkill X
[21:19] <h00k> kevin_: like, they didn't show up?
[21:19] <Jacen> thanks!
[21:20] <BBBThunda> Hey everyone!  I'm trying to schedule rsync to run automatically once per day, but there are a few special requirements that are making this tough to figure out...
[21:20] <kevin_> I'll give those a try
[21:20] <luca> hi - how can I enable SHMConfig? Thanks
[21:21] <alan__> Your welcome
[21:21] <BBBThunda> I want to schedule rsync to sync a remote folder to my local machine.  The job/task must be able to prompt me for a sudo/gksu password when it runs (similar to how update manager autoruns and prompts for pw) and also prompt me for the SSH password needed to connect to the remote server.  The job should also be able to log to a file owned by root.
[21:21] <BBBThunda> anyone know how to pull this off?
[21:22] <ldiamond> How do I get mount.cifs binary? I cant find any package for it
[21:22] <BBBThunda> Can't use cron because that runs in the background and I won't be able to input the passwords.
[21:22] <acer_> Jordan_U, ?
[21:22] <Mathuin> Is there a particular reason you want to have a scheduled task that requires interaction?  Why not use public keys to avoid the need for passwords?
[21:22] <defib> Hey guys, I'm looking for some help trying to get compiz working properly. When I run the system test included in 10.10, it tells me theres no rendering method in use. What can I do?
[21:23] <BBBThunda> Mathuin, I don't know how to use them yet... I was actually researching that earlier but then I figured if it prompts me for a pw that would be enough
[21:23] <albertito> in case anyone cares, it was pulseaudio that had it commented out. Why would anyone want to disable the x11 bell by default at pulseaudio level, it's beyond me...
[21:23] <acer_> I've already reinstalled grub-pc but it haven't deleted the stating up files related...
[21:23] <aguitel_> anyone use ubuntu-tweak ?
[21:23] <acer_> Could someone help me to solve this issue please???
[21:23] <kevin_> h00k, erUSUL, I tried sudo stop gdm && pkill X, and it worked, but it didn't put me to the command line
[21:24] <Mathuin> BBBThunda: searching the fine web for "passwordless ssh" will walk you through the process of configuring ssh.
[21:24] <BBBThunda> Mathuin, will that cause ssh to ALWAYS be password-free?  I do not want that.
[21:24] <erUSUL> kevin_: the tty's are in crtl + alt + f1-6. if they do not show up there is a bug somewhere ( or missconfiguration )
[21:24] <Jordan_U> acer_: The commands you're running manually are basically the same ones the menu entry is running, so it's odd that one causes a reboot and the other doesn't.
[21:24] <kevin_> h00k, erUSUL all it did was put me to a black screen with text where I could type, but no command prompt, couldn't enter commands or do "ls" or "pwd" or nything
[21:24] <BBBThunda> Mathuin, for that server I mean.
[21:24] <ilovefairuz> !ssh | BBBThunda
[21:25] <erUSUL> kevin_: what graphic card do you have; what drivers?
[21:25] <kevin_> erUSUL, I have 6 monitors, perhaps that has something to do with it?
[21:25] <Mathuin> If you configure the local root user to be able to log into the remote system as whatever user is necessary for the backup, you can schedule the cronjob as local root.
[21:25] <c3l> blist
[21:25] <acer_> Jordan_U, that's because probably my system is reading some different information from some source by default from the ones I am putting by hand.
[21:25] <kevin_> erUSUL, I have 2 gts240 and 1 9800gtx
[21:25] <sebsebseb> !root
[21:26] <BBBThunda> thanks ilovefairuz, I know how to use ssh (not to mention scp and sshd), just don't know the downstream effects of using public keys, etc.
[21:26] <erUSUL> kevin_: and what are you suing?
[21:26] <erUSUL> using*
[21:26] <Mathuin> BBBThunda: some of those issues are discussed at that link.
[21:26] <kevin_> erUSUL, you mean driver-wise?
[21:26] <acer_> The thing is how to find the resource where grub-pc is getting thiose wrong informations and that are the same one upgrade to 10.10 forgot to fix.
[21:26] <Jordan_U> acer_: You can look at your /boot/grub/grub.cfg to see the exact commands being run when you select a menu entry.
[21:26] <ilovefairuz> BBBThunda: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys
[21:26] <erUSUL> kevin_: well you do not have the three cards working at once? do you?
[21:27] <Mathuin> Oooh, ssh-copy-id, now *that's* useful.
[21:27] <kevin_> erUSUL, yes, they are all working at the same time, and they do work, but they don't have the most up to date driver, I am trying to isntall them via the cli, but can't have gdm running at the same time.
[21:28] <sammy> so, sharing /home/bobby/Public (to anonymous users with, say, samba - or sharing ~user/public_html with read permissions for the apache user)  means that /home/bobby must be readable by everyone, right?
[21:28] <acicula> kevin_: the drivers that come with ubuntu, did those not work for you? i assume since you are inst manually you are  using nvidias run file?
[21:29] <uLinux> what is ALSAmixer config folder?
[21:29] <uLinux> i want to reset all the settings
[21:29] <kevin_> acicula, the default drivers did work. However they are missing some functionality as well as being a bit choppy. I am trying to install via the nVidia run file.
[21:29] <fgh> where are the settings fore gnome panel and gnome themes stored?
[21:30] <defib> Hey guys, I'm looking for some help trying to get compiz working properly. When I run the system test included in 10.10, it tells me theres no rendering method in use. What can I do?
[21:30] <ravn> hi folks, I'm workin on setting up a newly bought nas, and when I mount one of its shares with nfs, it seems things are not written to the nfs-volume, but to the underlying root fs volume. Why is this?
[21:30] <Jordan_U> acer_: Could you try asking in #grub? Mention the exact symptoms.
[21:30] <acicula> sammy: yeah i believe so, not the files in there though. dont think it has to be listable either, so just read permissions may be enough, but im not enirely sure on that otherwise try +x
[21:31] <acicula> kevin_: ah ok, thats pretty vital info. Whats not working precisely, you ran the .run file and now no gui will come up or?
[21:31] <sammy> excuse me, execute. acicula, thanks. +x allows cd'ing into a directory without reading its contents, for just this sort of occassion. I'm not sure what got me thinking I had to have +r instead of +x
[21:32] <acer_> Jordan_U, the information that grub.cfg file conteign is the same as I enter at prompt or linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-22-generic root=/dev/sda2 loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ro   quiet splash
[21:32] <acer_> 	initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-22-generic

[21:33] <Mas0ne> Hi all! Anyone with knowledge concerning libpam-unix2?

[21:34] <DraZoro> acicula: You will have to change permissions see man chmod

[21:34] <Mas0ne> Does anybody know why libpam-unix2 disables user logins?
[21:34] <ace_steel> pwd -> if ur in ur hm folder then mkdir <folder name>
[21:35] <soroush> i want to make ".fonts"  folder in /home
[21:35] <ace_steel> soroush:first pwd on ur terminal
[21:35] <acicula> soroush: what are you trying to achieve, ubuntu uses a fairly strict regime when it comes where you put files?
[21:35]  * DraZoro send the wrong message to acicula apologies
[21:36] <guntbert> soroush: you can have it in /home/soroush but not in /home
[21:36] <kevin_> acicula, well, the default drivers allow me to use the computer. I'm using it now. However I think that they are limited and that the nV drivers would be better. I can't run the .run file because I have to be in text only mode, and that's what my goal is right now. I was thinking that because I have 6 screens it wierds out the ctrl + alt + f1-6 thing.
[21:36] <Black_Prince> Hi, can someone guide me how to boot Ubuntu Live CD Image with GRUB2 ?

[21:38] <liminal> i need some wifi help
[21:38] <acicula> kevin_: well not very knowledgeable about multicard setups,does it use multiple x servers or just one for all cards?, you can shutdown the x server by typing sudo service gdm stop in a terminal. The nvidia has an uninstall flag i think if things dont work. Id recommend removing the existing nvidia-binary drivers before installing the nvidia drivers manually(and remove those first before reenabling the drivers that came with ubuntu)

[21:42] <kevin_> acicula, It uses one x server for all the screens, when I do "sudo service gdm stop" i am not taken to the command prompt, that's the issue. Instead I'm put into a black screen that I can type on, but there is no prompt at all, can't execute commands.

[21:46] <acicula> Laurenceb: it used to be possiblle with an alternate cd, but itĺl be a pain if you have more then just a basic system installed still, best to just go find a speedy internet pipe
[21:46] <Laurenceb> yeah thats my thoughts
[21:46] <waltercool> basix-, yes, just connect it and open Rhythmbox ;)
[21:46] <Lounge> the incicator applet is supposed to show the volume right?
[21:46] <_CommandeR_> need help with ubuntu and dmraid, thing is that it sees my disks but not the array
[21:46] <ssam> Tarantulafudge, the closed source stuff in the software center comes from the canonical partners repo.
[21:46] <acicula> kevin_: eh it uses the samme kernel
[21:46] <Lounge> mine doesn't show it
[21:46] <basix-> waltercool, thanks :)
[21:46] <Laurenceb> just nick a connection at work as opposed to my crappy adsl
[21:47] <kevin_> acicula, ok, I'll give that a shot, thanks!
[21:47] <acicula> kevin_: look in menu.lst or whatever the grub file is, the kernel options are different
[21:47] <acicula> kevin_: getting a terminal without a prompt means there isnt a login program running
[21:47] <Tarantulafudge> ssam, what about selling open source?
[21:47] <zsolt> ért valaki a maximához?
[21:47] <ravn> acicula: my local disc mounted on /
[21:48] <Viliny> hey guys, my file server recently broke so moved the Hard drive to a similar computer but the target machine has a integrated intel gfx card as opposed to the original nvidia gfx - im getting low graphics mode when i get to ubuntu now and it's failing to load nvidia drivers--- obviously... how do i make the switch in gfx drivers?
[21:48] <acicula> kevin_: kinda obvious i admit, but could be its hidden somewhere, thing shift and ctrl and such also may serve as hotkeys for more terminals
[21:48] <kevin_> cool, thanks acicula I appreciate it.
[21:48] <ssam> Tarantulafudge, you can try, but there is nothing to stop anyone packaging it and putting it in the main repo for free
[21:48] <phisher1> Viliny: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[21:48] <Tarantulafudge> ssam, right, will I still need to contact canonical to do that?
[21:48] <acicula> ravn: eh im sorry i only have like 5 lines of memory, your response was regarding what again?
[21:49] <qwertyjustin> is ubuntu faster when installed as a seperate partition, and slower when installed via windows with wubi.exe?
[21:49] <brad__> of course
[21:49] <ravn> acicula: regarding the nfs mount...
[21:49] <acicula> ah
[21:49] <ssam> Tarantulafudge, to get it in the main repo, you just need to make sure the source is online somewhere and file a bug asking for a package
[21:49] <qwertyjustin> any ideas?
[21:49] <acicula> can you pastebin the output of mount
[21:49] <Viliny> phisher1: thanks, it's done now without any feedback - it's ok now?
[21:50] <acicula> qwertyjustin: slower via wubi
[21:50] <phisher1> Viliny: eh, actually, goto console, stop gdm, then run that
[21:50] <ravn> acicula:  no output the relevant line from df is "<IP_ADDRESS>:/media<PHONE_NUMBER><PHONE_NUMBER>928384   1% /home/nfs"
[21:50] <qwertyjustin> acicula: yeah i thought so, why is that? is it just slower to load up, but otherwise just as fast to actually run?
[21:51] <ssam> Tarantulafudge, though it might be good to get into a ppa first
[21:51] <Viliny> what was the command to stop gdm again?
[21:51] <phisher1> /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[21:51] <acicula> qwertyjustin: wubi opens the file containing the / at boot and mounts it as a loopback, so you are mapping a fs in a file on a disk.
[21:51] <ssam> Viliny, or sudo services gdm stop
[21:52] <acicula> qwertyjustin: at least i assume thats how it works
[21:52] <phisher1> i was waiting for someone to say that. =\
[21:52] <Viliny> it told me to stand by for a minute while the display resets and then went black screen on me
[21:52] <phisher1> Viliny: you ran that from within Gnome ?
[21:52] <Viliny> when i ctrl+alt+f1
[21:52] <acicula> phisher1: sudo service gdm stop
[21:52] <_Tristan> Hey. I'm trying to have rhythmbox play to the speakers plugged into my headphone jack and have everything else (like pidgin) go to my internal laptop speakers. I can'
[21:52] <zertt> where can i find all equivalent of centos to ubuntu command ?
[21:52] <phisher1> no
[21:52] <phisher1> I refuse, kthx.
[21:52] <Wraithulek> in icecast audio device is hw:0:0 (microphone) how to change it to speakers or how to get hw number of speakers?
[21:52] <_Tristan> I can't find anything on the internet about it. Any tips?
[21:52] <zertt> what is the equivalent of this line ? /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 for ubuntu
[21:52] <acicula> ravn: heu that  would seem its mounted
[21:52] <Guest86993> hello
[21:53] <Viliny> phisher1: the machine seems unable to go into console
[21:53] <phisher1> where did you stop gdm from ?
[21:53] <phisher1> inside X ?
[21:53] <Pici> zertt: /etc/network/interfaces perhaps?
[21:53] <acicula> ravn: is it unmounted properly? can you force a write using sync
[21:53] <Viliny> no i tried to go to runlevel 1 phisher1 black screen is all i get
[21:53] <ssam> Viliny, CTRL+ALT+F1
[21:53] <acicula> zertt: err /etc/network/interfaces ?
[21:53] <Viliny> yes, that
[21:53] <phisher1> why would you do that ?
[21:53] <ravn>  acicula: yes, that's why it's strange that after a umount the directories I created are still visivle...
[21:53] <phisher1> runlevel 1 is singleuser
[21:53] <phisher1> err
[21:53] <Viliny> ok
[21:53] <phisher1> no
[21:54] <acicula> ravn: did you cd out of the pwd and back in?
[21:54] <phisher1> damnit, yes
[21:54] <Viliny> ok but the important part is c+a+f1 leaves me with a black screen
[21:54] <acicula> err
[21:54] <zertt> no the equivalent of this line   /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
[21:54] <acicula> the cwd
[21:54] <zertt> on ubuntu
[21:54] <basix-> is there an application to export my iPod music onto my computer?
[21:54] <phisher1> Viliny: do ctrl-alt-f2
[21:54] <h00k> basix-: you can use Rhythmbox
[21:54] <acicula> zertt: whasts ifcfg-eth0 supposed to do
[21:54] <basix-> where?
[21:54] <h00k> !ipod | basix-
[21:54] <Guest86993> I have some problems to run the installation of Ubuntu 10.04.1 64bit on a server wit an intel hardware raid controller. Does Ubuntu support the Intel RAID Controller RS2BL040?
[21:55] <h00k> basix-: Applications -> Sound and Video -> Rhythmbox
[21:55] <Viliny> i get a single _ in the upper left corner and nothins happening phisher1
[21:55] <phisher1> you can't do anything from single user anyway
[21:55] <phisher1> reboot, press ctrl-alt-f1
[21:55] <ravn> acicula: hmm, this is strange... now it works... grrr. Honestly, I did not do anything different this time! weird?!?
[21:55] <phisher1> do not go into single user
[21:55] <zertt> the equivalent of this line /etc/sysconfig/network gives this /etc/network/interfaces  so what is the equivalent of this line /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 ?
[21:55] <basix-> thanks, i'll check it out
[21:55] <Doonz> anyone here familiar with googlecl?
[21:55] <jrib> zertt: why not just tell us what you want to accomplish?
[21:56] <soroush> which keys use to end process in ubuntu ?? example in windows : Alt + Ctrl + Del
[21:56] <MrClean> alt f4
[21:56] <Viliny> phisher1: rebooting now, but at what point do i do the key combo?
[21:56] <phisher1> after you're in X is fine..
[21:56] <zertt> i just editing my network settings jrib
[21:57] <acicula> Guest86993: if its a server grade raid chip mayybe just easier to check the linux kernel support for it directly?
[21:57] <Chaser> zertt, you might want to look at manpage http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man5/interfaces.5.html /etc/network/interfaces is the place where you do stuff that you normally would do in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethXX
[21:57] <jrib> zertt: system -> administration -> network then?
[21:57] <Viliny> okay well phisher1 that seems to leave me with a blank black screen
[21:57] <Viliny> as if the computer can't go into console mode
[21:57] <zertt> no i used to wokk with cli
[21:57] <zertt> so plz don't change habit
[21:57] <mao_> someones knows which is the best dj program for linux (i have mixxx now)
[21:57] <Viliny> i get the option to run ubuntu in low graphics mode or exit to console login
[21:57] <phisher1> Viliny: try ehh.. safe mode ? what the hell is it in ubuntu
[21:57] <magicianlord> all right
[21:58] <sresu> Just completed upgrading Lucid to Meerkat. It fetched 1098 new packages which amounted to around 1.5 GB. Is something wrong?
[21:58] <phisher1> exit to console login.. have you tried that ?
[21:58] <Viliny> console login works as poorly as ctrl+alt+f1
[21:58] <basix-> there is no exporting help on that website for the iPod
[21:58] <magicianlord> Running 10.10 on an Acer One netbook.
[21:58] <magicianlord> WUT
[21:58] <_Tristan> sweet, bro.
[21:58] <magicianlord> yep
[21:58] <phisher1> Viliny: well you gotta be able to get to a console
[21:58] <phisher1> I would suggest deleting your xorg.conf .. but you might not be able to get to anything again
[21:58] <Viliny> phisher, if i do the distro upgrade and stuff like that - you think this mess would clear in that same instance?
[21:58] <phisher1> since your console is apparently not working
[21:59] <Viliny> with all the kernel upgrades and whatnots
[21:59] <Lounge> whats with all of these libboost packages that are being kept back?
[21:59] <phisher1> Viliny: do this dude.. just go make a basic xorg.conf
[21:59] <phisher1> and use driver intel
[21:59] <jrib> Lounge: pastebin exactly what you did and the full output
[21:59] <tehowe> I just allowed Win7 to install about 20 updates (haven't been using it much :) on my dual-boot system and when I went back into Lucid, it froze on startup requiring me to hold down the power for a cold start about 5 times before Gnome finally came up successfully - each time it got a little further along. Any idea why this might happen?
[21:59] <Viliny> how exactly
[22:00] <_CommandeR_> how do I resize a fakeraid
[22:00] <kv102t> So, Q1, how do I check what ububtu verison i'm on?
[22:00] <slooksterpsv> no one is responding to my requests for support in #kubuntu so I was wondering if I could ask here
[22:00] <Pici> kv102t: lsb_release -a
[22:00] <ari-tczew> is any option to receive files via bluetooth on ubuntu?
[22:00] <acicula> Guest86993: if its a server grade raid chip mayybe just easier to check the linux kernel support for it directly??
[22:00] <acicula> err nvm Guest86993
[22:00] <acicula> Guest86993: if its a server grade raid chip mayybe just easier to check the linux kernel support for it directly?
[22:00] <jrib> slooksterpsv: if it's specific to kde, #kubuntu is probably your best bet, but otherwise you're fine
[22:01] <kv102t> OK, so i'm on 10.4, is the update manager going to push me onto 10.10 or do i need to do something myself?
[22:01] <acicula> ugh, 1000H keyboard is not agreeing with me
[22:01] <jrib> !upgrade | kv102t
[22:01] <nerdy_kid> hi all, I am helping out with this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1594784&page=4  I need to know, is the MBR the same as the partition table and if not where on the disk is the partition table so I can back it up with dd?  thanks
[22:01] <Viliny> i tried purging nvidia drivers earlier but i still get "failed to load nvidia module does not exists  0" error and below that a no drivers available error - phisher1
[22:01] <acicula> ari-tczew: enable bluetooth, set your pc visibile, send files from phone?
[22:01] <slooksterpsv> couple of things, I'm running 10.10 and Kontact won't do custom colors and doesn't quit when I quit nor is the icon in the panel
[22:01] <Viliny> when i boot, then i go into low graphics mode
[22:01] <tylermolamphy> kv102t: the update manager will update 10.04 and give you the option to upgrade to 10.10.
[22:02] <acicula> nerdy_kid: MBR and partition tables are not the same thing
[22:02] <slooksterpsv> and evolution doesn't display properly in KDE
[22:02] <acicula> you can find the partition table a few sectors after  the MBR
[22:02] <tylermolamphy> kv102t: It will have a small area above the list of updates that says "New Distro Update Avail." or something to that effect.
[22:02] <Lounge> yeah for some reason my system is not allowing all these libboost packages to be installed, and the ones that do get installed. i keep getting a notice that they're nolonger needed in the terminal
[22:02] <kv102t> tylermolamphy: When will it? 10.10 is out and i've checked for updates..
[22:02] <nerdy_kid> acicula thanks, didnt think so but wanted to make sure.  Do you know where the partition table is exactly?  I know the MBR is the first 512Kb.
[22:02] <bluefrog> nerdy_kid, to backup mbr   dd if=/dev/sda of=/path/to/savembr bs=512 count=1
[22:02] <Android_Nerd914> g nickserv identify Androidhtc
[22:02] <phisher1> Viliny: try just changing nvidia to intel in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[22:03] <Lounge> n
[22:03] <Pici> kv102t: You may need to go into your software sources and change the upload to LTS releases only setting.
[22:03] <bluefrog> nerdy_kid, to backup partition table  sfdisk -d /dev/sda > partition.save
[22:03] <Wraithulek> in icecast audio device is hw:0:0 (microphone) how to change it to speakers or how to get hw number of speakers?
[22:03] <Pici> kv102t: I don't recall what the exact wording is on the graphical interface.
[22:03] <acicula> nerdy_kid: punch it into google, this is pretty well documented stuff. theres no need to phsyically locate the partition table though
[22:03] <phisher1> Viliny: take out any instance of glx too
[22:03] <phisher1> http://pastebin.com/yrnFJQJa
[22:03] <phisher1> something along those lines
[22:04] <kv102t> shell commands?  apt-get install ???
[22:04] <phisher1> missing a endsection there, but you get the idea
[22:04] <bluefrog> nerdy_kid, to restore the partition table  sfdisk /dev/sda < partition.save
[22:04] <tylermolamphy> kv102t: see here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaverickUpgrades
[22:04] <bluefrog> nerdy_kid, to restore the mbr   dd if=/path/to/savembr of=/dev/sda
[22:04] <nerdy_kid> bluefrog ok thanks a bunch :)  I guess the mbr is the first 512 bytes not kilobytes -- always get that mixed up.
[22:04] <Viliny> okay i removed glx module and set intel as the gfx
[22:05] <Viliny> trying now
[22:05] <tylermolamphy> kv102t: Also Kubuntu specific: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaverickUpgrades/Kubuntu
[22:05] <kgunpowder> Can anyone help me? During some Linux boots, I end up with a bunch of sprawling code that will end and lead me nowhere after a point. :(
[22:05] <Wraithulek> can you help me?
[22:05] <tylermolamphy> kgunpowder: You would have to be more specific as to what the code says.
[22:06] <kgunpowder> tylermolamphy, I believe it says "kernel-init-helper"
[22:06] <Kartagis> I want to get rid of a package, but even though I attempt to purge it, it freezes my system. how to completely get rid of it?
[22:06] <Viliny> phisher1: im golden :) thanks man!
[22:06] <ari-tczew> acicula: thanks, I had to enable receiving in options
[22:06] <kgunpowder> tylermolamphy, this happens when I use the recovery console, and recently when booting Ubuntu, then I get nowhere.
[22:06] <kv102t> is it safe to update???  is there anything new- that stands out..
[22:06] <zatan> Hi, is naybody able to help me , with sound cards, at the moment i got two SOUND cards one inside HDA and another External (creative SB094) , How can i make it work my external card? and disable HDA soud card?
[22:06] <MrClean> no
[22:07] <acicula> ari-tczew: oh i missed that bit, but glad you figured it out and shared it :)
[22:07] <phisher1> Viliny: that work for ya?
[22:07] <tylermolamphy> kgunpowder: Let me do some googling, one second.
[22:07] <MrClean> make him google for himself
[22:07] <hsr> Hi.. I'm on irssi now. How can I initiate X11 from CLI?
[22:07] <phisher1> startx
[22:07] <phisher1> or gdm start
[22:07] <Viliny> phisher1: yes! now, i have some fstab lines about hd's that aren't there anymore... any way to regenerate fstab or something?
[22:07] <kv102t> is it safe to update???  is there anything new- that stands out..
[22:08] <Viliny> im watching it in gedit atm and they are all sd hd's whilst the one ubuntu is on is a pata and should be hda?
[22:08] <phisher1> just remove the erroneous lines
[22:08] <kv102t> Also if i download and use CD to upgrade, it will do so, Correct?
[22:08] <tylermolamphy> kgunpowder: Do you have a prompt that you can use when you boot?
[22:08] <Lounge> anybody know why i'm getting kept back from all these libboost packages?
[22:08] <MrClean> yes
[22:08] <hsr> phisher1: I pressed Ctrl+Alt+F1 and went to tty1. So I should try startx.. right?
[22:08] <phisher1> hsr: are you already in an X session ?
