[00:07] <medionpal> I just installed kubuntu on my ubuntu 10.04 system and really like it. however when I go to firefox the fonts look so "pixelated", not so rounded as in gnome. it is tiring for the eyes, how can I change this
[00:07] <TiCPU> how come it is SO HARD to disable access to ANY shutdown/reboot/standby/power management option from non-root users?!?!?
[00:08] <Bigbucks> Ok, The USB ports on my computer stopped working, so I figured I would load Ubuntu Server onto it and use it as a small server....I already had a harddrive with Ubuntu Server on it, and I popped it into the computer, but now I keep getting an error "Unable to enumerate USB device on port 4" any ideas?
[00:08] <kzman> hi
[00:08] <xangua> medionpal: you need to comfigure gtk apps in the kde config center

[00:09] <kzman> ?
[00:09] <xangua> kzman: you ca manuay hide them one by one editing the menu, yes

[00:16] <Xereniak> [QUESTION]whenever i try to install my ubuntu v 11.04, it crashes during the "wipeing for security" or whatever its called. need help.
[00:16] <medionpal> how can I get rid of the pixelated appearance in kde, in gnome on the same pc it looks nice
[00:17] <hiexpo> install gnome
[00:17] <medionpal> I have gnome... gnome 3 sux and I am moving to kde now
[00:17] <medionpal> unity sucks too
[00:17] <medionpal> no task bar
[00:18] <medionpal> is there a way to get the smoothness in appearance which gnome provides?
[00:18] <medionpal> in kde
[00:18] <xangua> medionpal: use qt/kde apps
[00:18] <medionpal> what does that mean?
[00:18] <medionpal> step by step please
[00:19] <medionpal> you mean firefox will always look so pixelated in kde?
[00:19] <medionpal> then why does it look smooth in gnome?
[00:20] <xangua> no idea , I don't use kde; firefox is better looking integrated with gtk/gnome
[00:20] <Guiri> edbian: I got the cd into rescue mode. I'm trying to mount the LVM but am having some trouble. mount /dev/NAME/root /mnt/NAME fails with an Invalid argument
[00:20] <medionpal> hmmmm that would be a major argument against kde then...
[00:20] <Guiri> It could be b/c it's an LVM with btrfs?
[00:22] <tristan3199us> im using the new ubuntu and cant hook up two monitors or my screen gets strange
[00:23] <Xereniak> could someone explain to me why my ubuntu installer crashes whenever it starts some sort of security wipe, and how to fix it?
[00:23] <asoltys> hi, i'm using 11.04 with unity.  my volume icon disappeared from my system toolbar.  how do i get it back and manage the toolbar icons in general?  e.g. to remove ubuntu one chat?
[00:23] <aeon-ltd> asoltys: right click add to
[00:24] <tristan3199us> it goes black on the top of the desktop and i cant see about a third of my screen.. however the toolbar on top still shows up but the dropdown menus fall under that black square
[00:24] <medionpal> unity sucks!
[00:24] <asoltys> aeon-ltd: right clicking does nothing for me
[00:24] <tristan3199us> how can i update the software that runs the monitors
[00:24] <medionpal> it is totally unintuitive and if you work with 20 windows like me it is just not workable
[00:25] <nit-wit> ! ot | medionpal
[00:25] <cradam> how do i update synaptic?
[00:25] <tristan3199us> also how do i install unetbootin into unity

[00:26] <jerryitt> hey guys i get an error: no such partition.  Grub rescue>    on boot up. any ideas how i can remove grum from the cmd line?
[00:26] <cradam> im trying to install python 3.2

[00:26] <jerryitt> *sorry remove grub from the cmd line..
[00:26] <nit-wit> jerryitt, remove and do what?
[00:27] <tristan3199us> how do i configure a duel monitor... laptop and bigscreen...
[00:27] <tristan3199us> when i plug in another monitor it just goes all silly
[00:28] <nit-wit> jerryitt, your question make no sense, without a what is happening and whats the goal.
[00:28] <jerryitt> i just want to remove grub so i can install win.. or can i change the partition it boots?
[00:28] <ubuntuCEO> hi, how to install newest vlc in ubuntu 8.04?
[00:28] <cradam> how do i update synaptic?
[00:28] <xangua> ubuntuCEO: upgrade to latest version, 8.04 is not supporeted
[00:28] <cradam> ubuntuCEO, why is your ubuntu so old and you can get the tar.gz from vlc main website

[00:29] <medionpal> thanks dudes
[00:29] <tristan3199us> does anyone know how to set up my laptop to operate a second monitor without it going haywire
[00:29] <ubuntuCEO> cradam, because i have an old netbook that came with ubuntu 8.04 and i am not sure if the new ubuntu will work 100%
[00:29] <nit-wit> jerryitt, windows will install grub prompt or not a cd or dvd boots before the grub>     You answer is a dichotomy install or fix what s it.;)
[00:29] <ubuntuCEO> and it is my working laptop i dont want to mess with it
[00:30] <dathern> help
[00:30] <cradam> Xangua this is one case where latest is a VERY good idea
[00:30] <nit-wit> ! help | dathern
[00:30] <cradam> and i know the package is available 10.10
[00:30] <Acid> Hello, will installing ubunto on the same partition as my current W7 installation, mess up W7 or the ubunto install?
[00:31] <jerryitt> nit-wit: sorry full story is this.. I had a duel boot sys. win7 and ubuntu. friend decided to remove win7 and put on win xp, but he just deleted all the partitions in win7 partition manager and now all i get is grub prompt..
[00:31] <ubuntuCEO> cradam, last time 2 yrs ago took me a long time to make the ssh work over the wireless network.  apparently the wireless card boardcom has driver issue with ubuntu
[00:31] <smw> Acid, W7 would die
[00:31] <nit-wit> Acid, do you mean a wubi install?
[00:31] <tristan3199us> can anyone point towards fixing my monitor problem.. it only happens when i attach the lcd to the laptop... why is this happining
[00:31] <jerryitt> nit-wit: if i install win i get the same error. so i cannot boot it
[00:31] <smw> Acid, unless you use wubi. But I must warn you that people in this channel tend to not know wubi well...
[00:31] <nit-wit> jerryitt, so you have a wiped HD and a disc to install windows?
[00:31] <Acid> smw, nit-wit: no I mean the full install, not booting of flash/cd
[00:32] <jerryitt> nit-wit: correct
[00:32] <cradam> so how can i update the repos to 11.04/10.10 state?
[00:32] <smw> Acid, I do not understand
[00:32] <nit-wit> Acid, you can't install in the same partition.
[00:32] <smw> Acid, NOT booting off a cd/flash?
[00:32] <nit-wit> jerryitt, grub is not the problem is the disc not booting when the bios is set to read the disc befor the hd?
[00:32] <xangua> cradam: aah upgrade t 11.04 or 10.10 ¿¿
[00:33] <smw> Acid, define "full install"
[00:33] <cradam> i dont have a good connection so i stick to the LTS releases
[00:33] <jerryitt> nit-wit: one thing. i only have a win7 recovery disk. the disk boots and installs win correctly but on rebooti get that error..
[00:34] <jerryitt> nit-wit: i have no options in the recovery disk to do anything to the partitions.
[00:34] <Acid> smw, nit-wit: I am planning on using ubuntu as an OS next to W7, so installing it to a HDD, not running it off a flash device, thats what I ment. I hope I am not confusing you, I am new to ubuntu as you might have noticed
[00:34] <nit-wit> jerryitt, a recovery disc is only f=good if you have a image for it to install.
[00:34] <xcr> help
[00:34] <xcr>  http://paste.debian.net/117886/ what do?
[00:34] <nit-wit> ! help xcr
[00:34] <nit-wit> ! help |xcr
[00:35] <smw> Acid, so you are burning an install cd. You will need to make room for ubuntu on the hdd, put in another hdd, or let ubuntu automatically repartition
[00:35] <Xereniak> i am having a repeditive problem with my ubuntu v 11.04 installer, the installer gets to a point where it says its wipeing something for security and then crashes. it then says it will open a desktop mode (trial ubuntu) and closes the installer and opens a full screen terminal that often does not work. i cannot figure out what could have gone wrong but i have recently taken apart the computer to upgrade it a little (in case thats an i
[00:35] <smw> Acid, ubuntu is able to shrink the windows partition, but I have never used this feature
[00:35] <xcr> ERROR:dbus.proxies:Introspect error on :1.45:/org/wicd/daemon: <- repair this?
[00:36] <nit-wit> jerryitt, the f=good was a typo sorry
[00:36] <Acid> smw, nit-wit: so safer installing on a seperate partition / HDD / SSD
[00:36] <smw> Acid, not "safer". It is the only way to keep windows
[00:36] <jerryitt> nit-wit: the image installs alright but it will not boot. it goes back to grub.
[00:37] <jerryitt> nit-wit: im guessing it doesnt change the mbr?
[00:37] <nit-wit> Acid, MS runs in NTFS partitions basucally and have to be primary partitions. Linux use a ext type partition are you familiar with this.
[00:37] <rcmaehl> Okay #ubuntu . I need about 15000 .chkk files that have lost their name and extension restored on a FAT32 flash drive of my friend;s
[00:37] <Acid> smw: thank you very much, one more question: I am planning on setting up a coding environment for chromium-os... can I do that by running ubunto off a flash device or will that result in ultra slow compiling?
[00:37] <rcmaehl> How do I do this
[00:38] <smw> Acid, why not code for chromium OS on windows?
[00:38] <nit-wit> jerryitt, run the recovery disc to tthe language choose it then hit r go to the command line and run bootrec.exe /fixmbr
[00:38] <Xereniak> [BUMP] i am having a repeditive problem with my ubuntu v 11.04 installer, the installer gets to a point where it says its wipeing something for security and then crashes. it then says it will open a desktop mode (trial ubuntu) and closes the installer and opens a full screen terminal that often does not work. i cannot figure out what could have gone wrong but i have recently taken apart the computer to upgrade it a little (in case tha
[00:38] <Acid> smw: they tell me I need a x86_64 ubuntu environment
[00:38] <smw> Acid, a flash device would be ultra slow to use.
[00:38] <smw> Acid, they? (curious)
[00:38] <xangua> !repeat | Xereniak
[00:39] <jerryitt> nit-wit: il give that a go.. 2 min :)
[00:39] <Acid> smw: irc.freenode.net #chromium-os
[00:39] <nit-wit> jerryitt, that should reload the mbr for you and wipe grub out.
[00:39] <Acid> smw: user vpalatin to be exact
[00:40] <smw> Acid, ok, just curious.
[00:40] <xcr> oh i dont get help here, cya
[00:40] <smw> Acid, I think a flash would be slow... you need to install it to its own partition
[00:40] <smw> Acid, and give it a swap partition too ;-)
[00:41] <Acid> smw: so I think putting ubuntu onto its own drive formatted in ext would be best for coding
[00:41] <Acid> smw: the last thing i want, is to run into performance issues when giving chroium-os coding a try
[00:42] <smw> Acid, sounds good. But you may want to let ubuntu automatically partition the drive
[00:42] <iuiuuiu> hi
[00:42] <Acid> smw: will do, can you explain what you ment by swap partition?
[00:42] <smw> Acid, know what a page file is?
[00:42] <jerryitt> nit-wit: cheers mate that worked nicely...
[00:42] <Acid> smw: I am afraid not, very new to this all
[00:42] <nit-wit> jerryitt, cool
[00:43] <smw> Acid, no that is windows terminology ;-)
[00:43] <Acid> smw: pagefile.sys?
[00:43] <Guiri> Hi. Do any of the mozillateam PPAs have builds for PPC?
[00:43] <rcmaehl> Anyone? Please? 15000-ish files is alot to sort through
[00:43] <smw> Acid, if you run out of memory, it "swaps" less used data to hard drive
[00:43] <Acid> smw: ok I understand
[00:43] <smw> rcmaehl, I have no idea what your question is
[00:44] <rcmaehl> smw: Okay. I need about 15000 .chk files that have lost their name and extension restored on a FAT32 flash drive of my friend. How do I do this?
[00:44] <Acid> smw: not to brag but I have 8gigs of ram, dont think i will run into memory problems with ubuntu?
[00:44] <xangua> Guiri: don't think so
[00:45] <smw> Acid, in that case, get at least a 10GB swap :-P. Swap is also used for hibernation
[00:45] <smw> Acid, it also makes your disk make funny noises so you know a program is leaking memory :-P
[00:45] <Acid> smw: will I be asked to set the swap partition size in the installation, or is this a more complicated procedure?
[00:45] <smw> Acid, if you use automatic partitioning, it will figure it out
[00:46] <Acid> smw: super, thank you very much
[00:46] <smw> Acid, if you have free, unpartitioned space, ubuntu will figure out how best to allocate it
[00:46] <Acid> smw: ok, will it do the formatting to ext by itself as well?
[00:47] <smw> Acid, of course
[00:47] <scotchpotch> hello folks
[00:47] <Elda> Meh... what is the package I wish to get that has most of the codecs for streaming radio?  Currently in a bathroom because a terrible most likely tornado producing storm is on it's way here and I cant get the radio to play online >.>
[00:47] <Acid> smw: thank you very much, you were very helpful (:
[00:47] <Elda> An odd situation I give you that but it would be nice to get this setup asap >.>
[00:48] <smw> Acid, it will partition, format, find your windows install, and setup a dialog for you to choose windows or linux.
[00:48] <Acid> smw: may I come back at you and PM you if I run into any problems during my install?

[00:48] <jutzus> hello

[00:50] <jutzus> yes i have tried a few different options under eth0
[00:50] <jutzus> im thinking this is a dhcp issue
[00:50] <islevegan> i have sound input working on a macbook pro but no sound output
[00:50] <jutzus> eth0 is enabled
[00:51] <Acid> smw: installing on the same drive as my OS is no option, I have W7 on a 40GB SSD, space is tight already, I furthermore have 2x1TB in Raid0 for data,programms etc. My solution now is I will hook up an old 120gb sataII drive I have lying around to my mobo, and put ubuntu on there
[00:51] <Acid> smw: do you think that is the best solution too?
[00:51] <nit-wit> jutzus, run lspci in the terminal and find the card and post it
[00:52] <smw> Acid, yes, sounds good

[01:04] <jutzus> cursor blinking
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> Cube``: no idea, or i'd have replied the first time you asked
[01:04] <Cube``> word
[01:05] <jutzus> hmm no reply'
[01:05] <args0> nit-wit: yep
[01:06] <jutzus> next please
[01:06] <nit-wit> args0, do you know the limitations of how many partions and what types on a single HD?
[01:06] <nit-wit> *partitions
[01:07] <args0> nit-wit: partitioned with the NTFS fifle system
[01:07] <jutzus> point me to a tutorial or something please'
[01:07] <args0> nit-wit: 2 paritions
[01:08] <ActionParsnip> jutzus: you may need to blacklist the r8169 module
[01:08] <jutzus> ok
[01:08] <ActionParsnip> jutzus: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1054480.html
[01:08] <jutzus> how so
[01:08] <jutzus> thanks i will read this
[01:08] <ActionParsnip> jutzus: are you also websearching while you request help?
[01:08] <nit-wit> args0, that is windows my concern here is that you have not maxed out the an=mount of partitions allowed, if you have just installing can mess things up.  So close the install open in the menu-system-admin-gparted and take a screnshot of gparted so we know exactly whats there , imagebin the screenshot.
[01:10] <jstoone> If i do - ssh HOST - will it then use my own username?
[01:10] <args0> nit-wit: oh okay, so seems there's no simple solution for this.. I'm at work now and don't have access to that system, so I'll have to do it later
[01:10] <p896gbm> hey folks, i want to install ubuntu on a new system with the home partition on a software raid. can i do this straight from the manual partition manager in the installer? all the online help i'm seeing is for ubuntu server edition
[01:10] <SirScott> i've got a box running 9.10 server that after a reboot is no longer showing the eth0 device, yet the card is still visible w/lspci.  Any ideas how to go about getting it recognized?
[01:11] <kzman> hi, how can i run scripts on a terminal with KDE?
[01:11] <ActionParsnip> jstoone: it uses the name whom executed the command
[01:11] <nit-wit> args0, if you really only have two partitions check with gparted shrink the W7 with its own disk manager leaving a ua=nalocated soace for the ubuntu.
[01:11] <ActionParsnip> jstoone: if you use:    ssh username@host   it will use username as the name
[01:11] <celthunder> jstoone: yes
[01:11] <jutzus> blacklist commmand not found
[01:11] <jutzus> hmm
[01:11] <jstoone> ActionParsnip: so "ssh HOST" it would be the same as "ssh USERNAME@HOST"?
[01:11] <ActionParsnip> jutzus: try researching rather than trying to guess
[01:11] <celthunder> jstoone: thedefault username ssh uses is the username on the local system
[01:12] <nit-wit> args0, use the W7 virtual partitioner to resize it leaving the unallocated for the ubuntu install.
[01:12] <Cube``> jstoone: yup
[01:12] <silvering> hi guys, im using ubuntu karmic, and installed irssi 0.8.14, and i want to set-up irssi to be able to read and write cyryllic with CP1251?
[01:12] <ActionParsnip> jstoone: yes, if you are using -X  for x forwarding then use ssh -C -X username@host     to enable compression
[01:12] <ActionParsnip> silvering: karmic is no longer supported
[01:13] <silvering> supported where, here?
[01:13] <IIAir_LeoII> i cant install gambas the package seems bad there isnt any repos for lucid or deb package BRB
[01:13] <ActionParsnip> silvering: its EOL, there is no support anywhere for Karmic
[01:14] <maco> silvering: no more security updates...nothing
[01:14] <silvering> i dont want support for the distro, but for the irc client, i just mentioned what distro im using
[01:14] <jstoone> Cube``: celthunder: ActionParsnip: Thanks alot guys! I'm really deap in love with ssh! We just started using ssh at work and then that question poped op in my mind and i thought that it wouldn't hurt to ask (: Thanks again!
[01:14] <silvering> i like 9.10 and im not gonna upgrade soon
[01:14] <geeksmith> silvering: try using http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
[01:15] <jutzus> im new to ubuntu i need some help with this
[01:15] <mariontes> hi
[01:15] <jutzus> i dont know what modules or anything is
[01:15] <ActionParsnip> !blacklist | jutzus
[01:15] <naptastic> I need to install Samba on my Ubuntu desktop box.
[01:15] <mariontes> i need some help too
[01:16] <silvering> geeksmith, use it for what? im asking how can i make irssi to work with CP1251
[01:16] <ActionParsnip> jutzus: if you can't research just a little you will never learn your OS any, learning your OS is useful as you will be ableto fix stuff easier
[01:16] <naptastic> I do "sudo apt-get install samba" and get this error:
[01:16] <jutzus> ok once i blacklist it what do i do
[01:16] <jutzus> will it work
[01:16] <naptastic> samba : Depends: samba-common (= 2:3.5.4~dfsg-1ubuntu8) but 2:3.5.4~dfsg-1ubuntu8.4 is to be installed
[01:16] <jstoone> silvering: I've been useing irssi for some time on 11.04 and it works like a charm (:
[01:16] <jutzus> i plan on learning this os if i can get it to work
[01:16] <ActionParsnip> jutzus: you will need to unload the module if its loaded, as well as the module which drives the interface, then reload the module which runs it
[01:16] <jutzus> ok
[01:17] <jutzus> but i dont know to do any of this
[01:17] <SirScott> what does it mean if an interface shows up in ifconfig -a, but not ifconfig?
[01:17] <jstoone> silvering: Sorry misunderstood you'r question (:
[01:17] <ActionParsnip> naptastic: what is the output of: lsb_release -d
[01:17] <silvering> JStoker, no problem, but after all, can it work like i want?
[01:17] <SirScott> I see eth1 in ifconfig -a, but if I do 'ifup eth0' I get: "Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0."
[01:17] <ActionParsnip> naptastic: also what is the output of: uname -m
[01:18] <ActionParsnip> jutzus: nobody is born knowing any of it either

[01:19] <jstoone> jutzus: Just make simple little "achievements" to acomplish. That's what I did/do! Altso if you can get a friend into ubuntu, then you can learn together!
[01:19] <ActionParsnip> paperclip11: ask away
[01:19] <mariontes> some one know for what is?
[01:19] <jutzus> rmmod r8169    returns operation not allowed
[01:19] <ActionParsnip> mariontes: tried a different channel?
[01:19] <jutzus> ok
[01:19] <jutzus> thanks
[01:19] <ActionParsnip> jutzus: it needs sudo
[01:20] <jutzus> ogot it
[01:20] <iPwntech> Does anybody know about getting new themes?!
[01:20] <ActionParsnip> !theme
[01:21] <naptastic> ActionParsnip, Okay, I downloaded that .deb and did "sudo dpkg -i" on it, and it did not fix the error. Anything further?
[01:21] <ActionParsnip> naptastic: then run:  sudo apt-get -f install
[01:21] <afeijo> how can I install mod_status?
[01:21] <jutzus> so did you suggest i load 8168 or just blacklist r8169
[01:22] <evilkid> hi
[01:22] <evilkid> can anyone help me,
[01:22] <ActionParsnip> naptastic: can you pastebin the output of the command. SImply saying "doesn't work" is less than useful
[01:22] <evilkid> ?
[01:22] <ActionParsnip> evilkid: without a question, no
[01:22] <jutzus> lol this chat is busy
[01:22] <evilkid> >.>
[01:22] <jstoone> jutzus: also when there is a command you normally just would've executed without further thought, do like this "man COMMAND" where you replace "COMMAND" with e.h sudo - also when you're reffering to someone type their name in the sentince, could do like I do, but it's all about personal prefferences.
[01:22] <ActionParsnip> jutzus: both
[01:23] <ActionParsnip> evilkid: if you ask a question, somebody may help
[01:23] <paperclip11> ActionParsnip: It's about 3com Router 5232 I'm trying to configure a site-to-site VPN but don't want to go over tunnel virtutal interface(don't want GRE), one side is an Ubuntu LAN and the other it's a W$$ LAN.

[01:24] <nit-wit> evilkid, do yu have the lucid cd?
[01:25] <evilkid> whats that
[01:25] <ActionParsnip> evilkid: backtrack isnt supported here
[01:25] <nit-wit> evilkid, 10.04
[01:25] <evilkid> yep
[01:25] <ActionParsnip> !backtrack
[01:25] <nit-wit> evilkid, is that the one your booted on
[01:25] <evilkid> ActionParsnip: its as same as Ubuntu >.> ..
[01:25] <evilkid> nit-wit: nope
[01:25] <jstoone> jutzus: ok, just realized that I have NO clue how much you're actually into ubuntu, but I hope it all goes well. - And yes, it is always bussy in here, and while waiting for answar on your question you can always read a little about what people are helping with, maybe it's something you've solved before.
[01:25] <ActionParsnip> evilkid: it's NOT Ubuntu, it's backtrack
[01:26] <cradam> ubuntu comes with intel drivers doesnt it?
[01:26] <ActionParsnip> evilkid: this is Ubuntu support ONLY, for releases by Canonical ONLY
[01:26] <ActionParsnip> cradam: for many intel devices, yes
[01:26] <evilkid> ok -.- lets say i have problem with ubuntu ..
[01:26] <ActionParsnip> evilkid: backtrack has it's own support and own channel
[01:26] <ActionParsnip> evilkid: your distribution isn't supported here
[01:27] <ActionParsnip> evilkid: your OSis supported in #backtrack-linux
[01:27] <p896gbm> hi folks, are there any downsides to getting the 64-bit version of ubuntu?

[01:28] <jstoone> p896gbm: not at all, only if you're at a 32-bit box xD hehe
[01:28] <nit-wit> evilkid, this will reload the 10.04 grub to the mbr
[01:28] <ActionParsnip> p896gbm: it will be fine
[01:28] <flametai1> Hey guys if you go onto utorrent.com you can download uTorrent for Linux now, is there anyway to use that to install without using Wine?
[01:28] <p896gbm> ok good
[01:28] <evilkid> nit-wit : but i deleted ubuntu ..
[01:28] <jstoone> p896gbm: I have a 64-bit box in my kitchen and it has NO problem at all!
[01:29] <p896gbm> because i heard like a couple years ago that there were a lot of problems getting flash to work on 64-bit linux... i assume that's all been resolved?
[01:29] <ActionParsnip> wilhart: use nvidia-settings and play with the settings
[01:29] <wilhart> ActionParsnip: i've done that :|
[01:29] <nit-wit> evilkid, did you mention that sorry if I missed it so what is on the computer now altogether
[01:29] <ActionParsnip> p896gbm: there is even 64bit java and 64bit flash you can  use
[01:29] <p896gbm> nvidia binary drivers, lexmark printer drivers, wine sc2, etc. no 64-bit problems?
[01:29] <naptastic> ActionParsnip, Okay, I installed that one, and the same error (pastebinned above) still persists.
[01:29] <jstoone> p896gbm: Yes, flash and linux are good friends again.

[01:33] <genewitch> link to how to do filesharing on ubuntu, please? (not samba, linux to linux file sharing)

[01:35] <paperclip11> pcpower: ok, is there any channel on HP-A series stuff?
[01:35] <ActionParsnip> wilhart: yes, make sure the ppa has the 275 driver
[01:35] <naptastic> genewitch, you will then need to list your desired shares in /etc/exports, which you should google.
[01:35] <risd> actionparsnip: it's for i386,... i'm using 64bit
[01:35] <pcpower> paperclip11: don't think so
[01:35] <genewitch> naptastic: that's it?
[01:35] <wilhart> ActionParsnip: what should i write in konsole sorry
[01:36] <naptastic> genewitch, Once you list your exports, you need to restart the NFS service (/etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart) and then mount the nfs share on the other computer
[01:36] <alotesnivek> has anyone tried the new aim.com/av/ with natty?
[01:36] <wilhart> ActionParsnip: cant find in google :P
[01:37] <ActionParsnip> risd: install them with:  sudo dpkg --force-all -i debfile
[01:37] <alotesnivek> it's there
[01:37] <jutzus> Action: looks like ralink has already realeased a new driver and has autorun.sh
[01:37] <ActionParsnip> risd: this is one reason why 32bit is advised
[01:37] <naptastic> genewitch, nfs-common needs to be installed on the other computer. Create an empty mount point (for example /media/mount) and sudo mount the share onto that mount point
[01:37] <wilhart> ActionParsnip: can you point out an url for me please?
[01:37] <genewitch> naptastic: thanks.
[01:37] <naptastic> genewitch, no problem! Good luck!

[01:39] <ActionParsnip> Narc: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-ppa/+archive/ppa

[01:43] <IIAir_LeoII> question

[01:57] <wilhart> who was i talking with ?
[01:57] <cba123> Is there anything like join.me for linux?  I need to remotely support someone's PC, but can't setup vnc from here
[01:57] <ActionParsnip> wilhart: me but I have nothing intelligent to add
[01:57] <ActionParsnip> cba123: use ssh :)
[01:57] <wilhart> ActionParsnip: yes did i have to change nvidia driver to something else?
[01:58] <wilhart> ActionParsnip: to enable it?
[01:58] <ActionParsnip> cba123: or there is team viewer
[01:58] <ActionParsnip> wilhart: if you run nvidia-settings  it will tell you the driver in use
[01:58] <cba123> ActionParsnip, TeamViewer can be run as a host on a Linux machine?
[01:59] <wilhart> ActionParsnip: it's not:P
[01:59] <ActionParsnip> cba123: Ive heard people use it, so I'll say yes
[01:59] <ActionParsnip> wilhart: is 270 in use?
[01:59] <wilhart> ActionParsnip: dunno nope
[01:59] <wilhart> ActionParsnip: version doenst say that
[02:00] <wilhart> ActionParsnip: 275.09
[02:00] <ActionParsnip> wilhart: then you need to install the driver fully. I suggest you remove the drivers and reboot, then install the nvidia-current driver
[02:00] <ActionParsnip> ahhhh, then its in use :)
[02:00] <wilhart> ah.h. ok
[02:00] <wilhart> still got flickering tho..
[02:01] <ActionParsnip> wilhart: i dont have anything else to suggest, maybe others can help

[02:12] <yassine8hell> how can i delete unbuntu ,
[02:13] <ziikutv1> is there a way to put custom DNS server addresses in Ubuntu?
[02:13] <Matt_799> to dual boot, do i need windows and linux both installed on the same volume??
[02:13] <ziikutv1> Matt_799: No.
[02:14] <ziikutv1> Matt_799: Though you should to keep things clean.
[02:14] <ziikutv1> Matt_799: You can use Wubi to install, which would do everything for you with no work at all.
[02:15] <Matt_799> ziikitvl how much room will linux take up?
[02:15] <ziikutv1> Matt_799: Do you mean Ubuntu?
[02:15] <Matt_799> yes
[02:16] <Matt_799> ziikitvl how much room will ubuntu take up?
[02:16] <ziikutv1> Matt_799: Depends on what you are doing.. Ubuntu documentation recommends 8gb of free space.  Any ideas on how to get it back? I was trying to get past the desktop cube / unity conflict and then restarted the machine probably with conflicts.
[02:20] <nit-wit> yassine_hell, if we could fix it would you want to keep ubuntu?
[02:20] <yassine_hell> hell yea

[02:21] <Semitones_tea> yassine_hell, what happened when you installed ubuntu?
[02:21] <nit-wit> yassine_hell, have you run sudo update-grub in the Ubuntu terminal ?
[02:22] <yassine_hell> nope ima try it now
[02:22] <yassine_hell> ok updated grub , ima go check
[02:22] <yassine_hell> 2min
[02:22] <rjonesx1> any ideas on how to get panels, etc. back? i have had my system76 laptop for 2 hours now and I have already killed it :-(
[02:23] <trahm93> Can anyone help me regarding Kubuntu? Specifically, my weather widget on the desktop keeps putting itself in the bottom of the screen mysteriously, even when the widgets are locked.
[02:23] <nit-wit> yassine_hell, if it sees XO you would see it in the terminal.
[02:23] <nit-wit> *XP
[02:23] <Semitones_tea> rjonesx1, what exactly happened?
[02:23] <PalinBachman2012> rjonesx1: since its a new computer, try making a new user with fresh defaults and logging into that
[02:24] <rjonesx1> how would I do that, I dont even know how to get to the terminal now that I have no gui interface (just a pretty background)
[02:24] <PalinBachman2012> ah
[02:25] <nit-wit> rjonesx1, try crtl-alt-t
[02:25] <rjonesx1> nothin :-(
[02:25] <jutzus> how do you create sudo for entire session
[02:25] <roasted> Dumb question - can VPN kind of be treated like an encrypted VNC for across networks?
[02:25] <rjonesx1> i can right click and get some basic desktop options
[02:25] <rjonesx1> like creating launchers
[02:25] <Semitones_tea> jutzus, try sudo su or sudo grub
[02:25] <Semitones_tea> be careful
[02:26] <PalinBachman2012> rjonesx1: alt-f2?
[02:26] <nit-wit> rjonesx1, have you been messing with compiz, like removing the desktop wall?
[02:26] <jutzus> no
[02:26] <Semitones_tea> rjonesx1, rjonesx1 how did you get it that way?
[02:26] <PalinBachman2012> rjonesx1: i messed up something once and just make a launcher for ternimal
[02:26] <rjonesx1> yeah, what is the command for launcher
[02:26] <rjonesx1> i mean for terminal?
[02:26] <jutzus> Semit: im still getting permission denied
[02:27] <jutzus> im trying to move files
[02:27] <rjonesx1> yes, thats what i did,  i removed desktop wall and replaced with desktop cube and rotate
[02:27] <Semitones_tea> jutzus, are you sure you're using the right password?
[02:27] <rjonesx1> but i then turned sort plugins back on
[02:27] <rjonesx1> which i think was a mistake
[02:27] <rjonesx1> it went fubar after that
[02:27] <jutzus> it didnt ask for password'
[02:27] <PalinBachman2012> theres a way to default compiz
[02:27] <yassine_hell> same error , "File not found , grub rescue >"
[02:28] <rjonesx1> I tried. it appears now that we have default / unity. neither one worked, and that is when i restarted
[02:28] <Semitones_tea> jutzus, what's the output of "sudo su" ?
[02:28] <rjonesx1> so now im on my wife's pink netbook. demoralizing.
[02:28] <jutzus> nothing
[02:29] <jutzus> drops me to a new input
[02:29] <nit-wit> rjonesx1, if you get back to a desktop and can set up a launcher on the desktop follow this link.http://reformedmusings.wordpress.com/2011/05/05/howto-get-the-compiz-desktop-cube-in-ubuntu-11-04-natty-and-unity/
[02:29] <Semitones_tea> jutzus, is this on a live cd, or a regular install?
[02:29] <PalinBachman2012> rjonesx1: right click make a launcher using 'gnome-terminal' for the command, and then do 'unity --reset'
[02:29] <jutzus> install'
[02:29] <jutzus> 10.04
[02:29] <Semitones_tea> try typing "whoami"
[02:30] <jutzus> root
[02:30] <Semitones_tea> jutzus, ok, then sudo su has already worked
[02:30] <Semitones_tea> now you should be able to do what you're trying to do
[02:30] <jutzus> well i still cant drag and drop to move a file
[02:30] <jutzus> what the fuck ''
[02:31] <yassine_hell>  same error , "File not found , grub rescue >"
[02:31] <jutzus> alright sorry i had enough will fix this timmorow
[02:31] <Semitones_tea> oh for that, do gksu nautillus
[02:31] <Semitones_tea> er
[02:31] <jutzus> tommorow
[02:31] <Semitones_tea> nautilus
[02:31] <Semitones_tea> gksu nautilus
[02:31] <FloodBot1> Semitones_tea: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:31] <Semitones_tea> again, be very careful
[02:31] <rjonesx1> nice. unity reset gets me a pretty error
[02:31] <jutzus> stupid eth0
[02:31] <jutzus> bullshit
[02:32] <nit-wit> yassine_hell, run this script and post all the text in a pastebin, and do you have a XP cd.http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/
[02:32] <Semitones_tea> jutzus, please keep the channel family friendly :)
[02:32] <jutzus> lol'
[02:32] <jutzus> laterr'
[02:32] <yassine_hell> nit-wit : nope i dont have xp cd :s
[02:32] <rjonesx1> needed to un-sudo
[02:32] <rjonesx1> back up and working at the moment
[02:33] <rjonesx1> ok. wow.
[02:33] <rjonesx1> that was frustrating, thank you so much PalinBachman2011
[02:33] <rjonesx1> 2011
[02:33] <nit-wit> yassine_hell, okay the script will show more info to go with. Do you have a backup of the XP?
[02:33] <rjonesx1> 2012
[02:33] <rjonesx1> is that name meant to be ironic?
[02:33] <PalinBachman2012> no
[02:33] <nit-wit> rjonesx1, what mine.;)
[02:34] <yassine_hell> nit-wit : ok im downloading the script .. and what do you mean by windows backup,
[02:34] <PalinBachman2012> just annoying and yet honest
[02:34] <roasted> Odd Question - There's something that's been eating the fish out of the pond out back. So I want to set up an Ubuntu desktop with my USB webcam and let it run all night on a huge spare internal HDD I have to record the feed. The catch is I want it to be motion activated. How can I do this?????
[02:35] <Semitones_tea> lol roasted, sounds awesome
[02:35] <nit-wit> yassine_hell, you can back up parts of the st=ytem and whole images that are clones. Newer computers come with a recovery partition that will reload the OS, just phishing for where you are at with the tools to fix this if we find the culprit.
[02:35] <roasted> Semitones_tea, its a good idea, right? :D
[02:35] <Thedemon007> Hello
[02:35] <rjonesx1> hmmm. i closed the terminal and unity crashed again,
[02:36] <trahm93> roasted I've been thinking about doing something like that but over my garden to see what's eating my tomatoes >.>
[02:36] <roasted> Semitones_tea, I have a spare desktop to run ubuntu and a usb webcam. why not? I just want to make it motion activated so I dont have to sift through HOURS of video
[02:36] <Semitones_tea> I don't know how to motion activate it though
[02:36] <rjonesx1> upon restart, things looking good.
[02:36] <roasted> trahm93, well, look into zoneminder. It's an open source CCTV solution. The thing is I got lost setting it up and its 930 and Im just TIRED, so I was hoping for a simple quick app I can set up now to handle it
[02:36] <Thedemon007> i need help I try to view a surveillance cameras connected to a pci card.
[02:37] <trahm93> alright that sounds cool roasted
[02:37] <roasted> trahm93, I plan to spend more time with it this summer to see if we can implement it at work (I work in a school district)
[02:38] <roasted> So anyway, does anybody know how I can make a program motion activated with a webcam?
[02:38] <trahm93> roasted, for security?
[02:38] <Thedemon007> this my card http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/606692/
[02:38] <roasted> trahm93, something has been eating the fish out of our small pond out back. I just want to set up a basic rig for the night and see what it is.
[02:39] <trahm93> Anyone here familiar with using Github?
[02:40] <nit-wit> rjonesx1, that is the thing in natty when your tweaking compiz, beready to reboot or logout or run compiz -replace in the terminal
[02:40] <rjonesx1> ok. i will keep that in mind, but i definitely dont underestimate my ability to ruin things
[02:40] <Thedemon007> I try to view a surveillance cameras connected to a card I tried to see the cameras with various programs but I only get a blue screen.
[02:41] <Dommer> Ok, so using terminal I mad a web browser inside of python.  does anyone here know how I would make it a program without having to write the whole damn thing again?
[02:41] <Thedemon007> this my card http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/606692/ help please
[02:42] <Dommer> PM me if you can help, I'll brb
[02:43] <Thedemon007> I think it's like a TV tuner anyone has experience with TV tuner
[02:44] <PalinBachman2012> roasted: Zoneminder seems to be a dedicated survallence app suite what will prob work with your webcam
[02:45] <roasted> PalinBachman2012, yeah, problem is I had trouble setting it up, and I was looking for a QUICK solution for the night. DO you have experience with zoneminder?
[02:45] <PalinBachman2012> roasted: no
[02:48] <pirlo89> twil
[02:49] <Friar> I am starting to write some stuff in python. but I can't seem to get my script to run in the command line.
[02:49] <Friar> I've made it executable.
[02:50] <Friar> I get the command not found error. I've made a /bin folder in my home folder. and that is where it is.
[02:52] <carnage1> i need a manly way out
[02:53] <th0r> Friar: I just got here so forgive me for asking dumb questions....did you make the file executable? and are you using the complete path when issuing the command?
[02:53] <Friar> th0r, yes I did.
[02:54] <rjonesx1> i set it to auto login when i set up ubuntu. any idea on how to turn that sucker off?
[02:54] <Friar> I didn't use the complete path...I'll try that.
[02:54] <th0r> Friar: and did you use /home/user and not ~
[02:54] <hiexpo> maybe nedd to cd /bin first
[02:54] <Friar> th0r, just got: nathan@Pluto:~/bin$ /home/nathan/bin/montecarlo.py
[02:54] <Friar> bash: /home/nathan/bin/montecarlo.py: /bin/python: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
[02:54] <th0r> hiexpo: not if he uses full path
[02:55] <th0r> Friar: ask 'which python'...looks like you don't have it installed
[02:55] <iskin> LibreOffice is breaking Unity, LibreOffice windows are trapped in Maximize, and the launcher wont dodge. How do I fix this?
[02:55] <SuperFireLord42> Friar: python should not be in that directory.
[02:55] <carnage1> budge*
[02:55] <Friar> I do have it installed....2.7.1
[02:55] <hiexpo> thor i know  but maybe easier for him
[02:56] <surgeterrix>  /msg NickServ identify 328432
[02:56] <surgeterrix> well that was stupid
[02:56] <iskin> surgeterrix, yep.
[02:56] <th0r> hiexpo: if he is in /home/user/bin he would still need ./command....unless it is another ubuntu 'modification'
[02:56] <carnage1> i hear the new spiderman has mitt romney in it
[02:57] <SuperFireLord42> Friar: run "which python" in the terminal. It should say something like /usr/bin/python if my guess is right
[02:57] <escott> rjonesx1, remove /etc/gdm/custom.conf
[02:57] <Friar> th0r, I got it going...SuperFireLord42, that did the trick.
[02:57] <SuperFireLord42> yay!
[02:57] <Friar> /usr/bin/python instead of /bin/python at the top of the script
[02:57] <Friar> always the little things.
[02:58] <carnage1> 2.6
[02:58] <rjonesx1> escott: thanks.
[02:59] <andantino> how do i create a keyboard shortcut for a command
[02:59] <wallrace> so i
[02:59] <wallrace> whoops lol
[02:59] <escott> !ccsm | andantino shortcuts can be found in there
[03:00] <wallrace> so i'm having trouble with setting up ssh on my friend's ubuntu box
[03:01] <wallrace> i had him install openssh and openssh-server but i can't seem to connect to him
[03:01] <wallrace> it keeps timing out
[03:01] <wallrace> is there some configuration step i'm missing?
[03:01] <celthunder> wallrace: /etc/init.d/ssh start
[03:01] <SuperFireLord42> wallrace: what happens when he runs sudo services sshd status ? (if i remember my commands correctly)
[03:01] <escott> wallrace, service ssh start
[03:01] <SuperFireLord42> oops, its ssh, ignore me
[03:02] <wallrace> i had him try that and it was started
[03:02] <celthunder> wallrace: also make sure /etc/hosts.allow has sshd:  ALLOW
[03:02] <celthunder> wallrace: iptables blocking it ? (iptables -L to look)
[03:02] <escott> wallrace, make sure you can ping the box
[03:03] <wallrace> no i couldn't ping the box either i don't think
[03:03] <escott> wallrace, well thats the problem. is it behind a NAT?
[03:04] <tripelb> I have a file called brasero.iso  how do I look at it to see what it is?
[03:04] <escott> tripelb, mount -o loop
[03:04] <Trfsrfr> hello y'all. Need newb help here. How can I get my dual monitor to stay in the configuration I have them set in? When I come back from screensaver, they go back to mirror screen. Thanks!
[03:04] <celthunder> tripelb: mount it? or open it with an archive manager
[03:04] <tripelb> let me see.
[03:04] <celthunder> wallrace: is it on the same network?
[03:05] <wallrace> no and i think that's part of the problem
[03:05] <wallrace> i'm having him fix his hosts.allow right now
[03:06] <escott> wallrace, if his machine is ip address 192.168.something then he is behind a NAT. you would need to enable port forwarding and then ssh to the ip address of his router
[03:06] <tripelb> escott sudo mount -o loop brasero.iso ... mount: can't find brasero.iso in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[03:06] <hiexpo> tripelb, it is an iso you made and forgot to renmae it what it really was
[03:06] <tripelb> hiexpo that's what I figured.
[03:07] <escott> tripelb, you have to give the mount point and device (in this case the *.iso) when mounting something not in fstab
[03:07] <celthunder> tripelb: add somewhere to put it
[03:07] <tripelb> escott I didnt know that. What's a mount point?
[03:07] <hiexpo> tripelb, what folder is the iso in ?
[03:07] <escott> tripelb, so it would be sudo mount -o loop /path/to/brasero.iso /path/to/where/you/want/to/see/the/data
[03:08] <hiexpo> tripelb, just get this sudo apt-get install gmountiso probally easier for you
[03:08] <tripelb> hiexpo, celthunder escott I did cd Desktop (which is where it is) nicely terminal told me I had to be root to do that. duh, so I added sudo.
[03:08] <tripelb> escott I want to see it in a filebrowser (nautilus) window
[03:09] <tripelb> I've looked at the files in an iso easily before.
[03:09] <escott> tripelb, once you mount it to /home/tripleb/brazero_loop you could open that folder in nautilus
[03:10] <wallrace> escott, i would enable port forwarding in his /etc/ssh/sshd_config?
[03:10] <escott> wallrace, in the router
[03:11] <wallrace> escott, i've never worked with routers before... can you just point me at the man page or something i would have to read to get started on that?
[03:11] <ubuser> hey
[03:11] <SuperFireLord42> wallrace: does his ip start with 10, 192.168, or 172?
[03:11] <escott> wallrace, depends on the router have him go to http://<IP_ADDRESS> assuming his reported ip is 192.68.1.xxx
[03:11] <Trfsrfr>  hello y'all. Need newb help here. How can I get my dual monitor to stay in the configuration I have them currently set in? When I come back from screensaver, they go back to mirror screen. Thanks!
[03:12] <ubuser> i was wanting help with my computer, i had windows, but i got a sick virus, now i am trying to load ubuntu on it
[03:12] <tripelb> OK escott I can see the filenames in archive mgr. it's some unknown movie, dvd. Now I want to play it so I know what it is. ((I havent gotten past the fstab stuff))
[03:12] <ubuser> i have ubuntu 5.1 the ancient version and i had to do a xserver dpkg command to get it running something about vesa video card
[03:12] <wallrace> thanks escott
[03:12] <ubuser> i was wanting to do a mini ubuntu version on a cd, and i was wanting to know if i should go with 64 x or 32 idk anything really
[03:13] <ubuser> i jus dont want to run into any problems
[03:13] <SuperFireLord42> ubuser: what processor does your computer have in it?
[03:13] <ubuser> i dont know any ubuntu commands
[03:13] <ubuser> i got 4 gigs ram, and 500 harddrive thats all i really know man
[03:14] <ubuser> oh, and i had to take out 3 gigs
[03:14] <escott> tripelb, double click or copy the file out to some other folder
[03:14] <ubuser> to get it running again...
[03:14] <hiexpo> tripelb, doubleclick one of the vob's
[03:14] <hyperair> hello. has anyone managed to get vmware player running in ubuntu 11.04 x64?
[03:14] <SuperFireLord42> ubuser: you had to take out 3gb of ram?
[03:14] <ubuser> i need to do bios update?? i dont know if i have to get a linux version or not
[03:14] <ubuser> i flashed the bios :(
[03:14] <ubuser> its getting hot man, hurry
[03:14] <ubuser> lol
[03:15] <SuperFireLord42> ubuser: do you have an internet connection on the box so i can have you pastebin something?
[03:15] <celthunder> hyperair: what error are you getting
[03:15] <ubuser> i am on here? now
[03:15] <hyperair> celthunder: something about signal 11 (probably a segfault), or at other times, it says virtual machine busy
[03:15] <SuperFireLord42> ubuser: copy the results of this command to http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/ and give us the link it gives. run cat /proc/cpuinfo in the terminal
[03:15] <john_rambo>  Hi ..I just finished installing Xubuntu 10.04 ...configured dsl via pppoeconf ......problem is the networka manager is writing <IP_ADDRESS> as dns server in /etc/resolve.conf.......I want to use my own choice of public dns    But the nm-applet is gone
[03:16] <celthunder> john_rambo: /etc/resolv.conf.head
[03:16] <escott> john_rambo, gnome-network-properties
[03:16] <tripelb> my VLC has been loading funny as if in horizontal pieces. Can I reinstall it over itself without removing it?
[03:16] <ubuser> pastebin.com/7rmvkaxv
[03:17] <hiexpo> bad paste
[03:17] <john_rambo> escott, The command "gnome-network-properties" failed to run:
[03:17] <john_rambo> Failed to execute child process "gnome-network-properties" (No such file or directory)
[03:17] <ubuser> i need to know what is best ubuntu for my pc, and will it have the sources list automatically stored -.-
[03:17] <celthunder> ubuser: ?
[03:17] <celthunder> ubuser: can you expand that question a bit
[03:17] <john_rambo> celthunder,  /etc/resolv.conf.head ?? please explain
[03:17] <ubuser> i flashed my bios...., i dont know what to do
[03:18] <SuperFireLord42> celthunder: he wants to know if he should dl 32bit or 64 bit, he said something about removing 3GB of ram to get it to work and running Ubuntu 5.1
[03:18] <ubuser> i am currently on ubuntu 5.1, i want the better one.. lol i paste bind my pc stats
[03:18] <celthunder> john_rambo: dhcpcd/dhclient don't overwrite /etc/resolv.conf.head it says so in the comments
[03:18] <SuperFireLord42> ubuser: the paste didnt work right, its blank :/
[03:18] <Narcarsiss> how do i search file a word in a file
[03:18] <celthunder> ubuser: 64 bit as long as your processor supports it (if newer than 2003 and not a 2007-2010 atom it does)
[03:18] <ubuser> oh..
[03:18] <ubuser> yea
[03:18] <ubuser> it said amd 64
[03:18] <celthunder> ubuser: then go for the 64 bit version
[03:19]  * SuperFireLord42 sighs........
[03:19] <celthunder> Narcarsiss: grep?
[03:19] <escott> Narcarsiss, grep is the command line tool grep "pattern" /in/file
[03:19] <ubuser> http://pastebin.com7RMBkAxv
[03:19] <Narcarsiss> ok maning it thankyou
[03:19] <ubuser> damnit.
[03:19] <ubuser> okay i am downloading the small 64 bit, and should i have to put a certain video driver or something?
[03:19] <SuperFireLord42> ubuser: go with 64, dont worry about the paste
[03:20] <ubuser> it was complicated installing an ancient version
[03:20] <celthunder> ubuser: what video card do you have
[03:20] <Trfsrfr> Ive been dealing with this dual-monitor issue for awhile now.
[03:20] <john_rambo> celthunder, Thanks
[03:20] <ubuser> damn..
[03:20] <Trfsrfr> anybody have some troubleshooting advice?
[03:20] <celthunder> ubuser: ?
[03:20] <ubuser> im staring at the paste bin
[03:21] <ubuser> it doesnt say vid?
[03:21] <celthunder> ubuser: lspci and look for it and just paste it in here...should be 1 line
[03:21] <SuperFireLord42> ubuser: for that use lspci (and please use pastebin.ubuntu.com)
[03:21] <escott> Trfsrfr, guessing that the monitors are being turned off and are turning on at different rates. in the process its resizing the desktop, you could disable dpms but thats probably undesirable
[03:21] <ubuser> one sec ill look, winfast px8600 256 meg
[03:21] <fritzophrenic> quick question, I'm trying to configure the package manager to look for stuff in a ppa (specifically, https://launchpad.net/~mercurial-ppa/+archive/releases) and it gives instructions on that page for using add-apt-repository. It also gives instructions for using "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mercurial-ppa/releases/ubuntu lucid main" which looks like the format the package manager GUI is looking for. Is there any signific
[03:21] <fritzophrenic> result of the two?
[03:22] <SuperFireLord42> ubuser: well, unless you only paste that one line, in which case put it right here
[03:22] <celthunder> SuperFireLord42: the video card is 1 line...not over 3
[03:22] <escott> ubuser, if the flags section contains "lm" then it is 64bit
[03:22] <SuperFireLord42> celthunder: yes but lspci is over 3
[03:22] <celthunder> SuperFireLord42: oops sorry i'm reading several lines behind here
[03:22] <ubuser> http://pastebin.com/Jmptruxp
[03:22] <SuperFireLord42> celthunder: no prob, my client is lagging
[03:23] <wallrace> SuperFireLord42, his ip address on whatsmyip is 65.93.xxx.xx and from ifconfig it's 192.168
[03:23] <wallrace> and still timing out
[03:23] <celthunder> ubuser: that showed up empty for me .....
[03:23] <ubuser> ....
[03:23] <celthunder> wallrace: you connect using the 65. one make sure his port 22 is open on the router and forwarding to his machine on incoming
[03:23] <escott> wallrace, the 65 is his routers ip (wireless router or the like) it is using NAT to convert to 192 which is not a valid ip for you
[03:23] <SuperFireLord42> wallrace: on your computer you need to connect via the 65 address, his firewall needs to be set to pass through port 22 to the 192 address
[03:24] <celthunder> ubuser: just find the one line
[03:24] <rjonesx1> hey folks, so it seems that when I launch compiz settings manager I can't actually change anything (ie: grayed out options). any ideas?
[03:25] <celthunder> rjonesx1: use compiz's wm?
[03:25] <ubuser> so with the winfast px8600 256 meg would i have to choose a certain driver? i was wondering, i flashed my bios earlier, and it wouldnt start up so i took out all ram except one stick, and it booted back up. do u have to download a certain bios file?
[03:25] <SuperFireLord42> rjonesx1: is compiz running?
[03:25] <ubuser> or can someone please run me through fixing my bios so my ram will work?
[03:25] <ubuser> im any good at linux
[03:25] <celthunder> ubuser: ? why would you have to use a certain driver for ram?
[03:26] <ubuser> no 2 questions
[03:26] <rjonesx1> unity is running, so I assume compiz is
[03:26] <SuperFireLord42> ubuser: how far will it boot with all the ram in? it could have to do with the old version of linux not supporting it
[03:26] <ubuser> i am about to install ubuntu 11.04 mini 64, and i flashed my bios
[03:26] <celthunder> ubuser: ok
[03:26] <ubuser> no i had windows
[03:26] <ubuser> and it wouldnt boot
[03:26] <escott> ubuser, the installer has a version of memtest which you could use to identify an bad/incompatible modules
[03:26] <MK``> 11.04 fixed my ips issue but I still can't change the brightness on this laptop heh
[03:26] <rjonesx1> what is compiz wm?
[03:27] <ubuser> it was after i flashed the bios, with that jumper thing
[03:27] <SuperFireLord42> ubuser: thats a reset, how long did you have the jumper in the reset position?
[03:27] <celthunder> rjonesx1: idk what compiz uses but it changes the wm doesn't it (seems to do all the tasks of a wm)
[03:27] <ubuser> 5 seconds
[03:27] <escott> rjonesx1, it does effects. if you don't have effects (transparent windows and the like) then you have metacity, you can find its keyboard shortcuts in gconf-editor
[03:27] <celthunder> ubuser: you did a reset not a flash
[03:27] <ubuser> i made sure it was unplugged
[03:28] <ubuser> idk it effed me
[03:28] <SuperFireLord42> ubuser: good, i recommend you may want to reflash your bios (not reset)
[03:28] <fritzophrenic> rjonesx1, if I remember correctly, I had to set system->preferences->appearance->Visual Effects to "extra" or "custom" first, but I'm not sure of that, I'm pretty new to Ubuntu.
[03:28] <ubuser> how do i do that?
[03:28] <wallrace> SuperFireLord42, escott, celthunder and i do that by going through his router settings on <IP_ADDRESS> on his network? we can't seem to find anything like that though
[03:28] <fritzophrenic> ignore me if what I said makes no sense :-
[03:28] <rjonesx1> escott: i do have transparent windows (ie: i can see through terminal)
[03:28] <SuperFireLord42> wallrace: what is his gateway address according to ifconfig, it should be <IP_ADDRESS> or something?
[03:28] <ubuser> its going to catch on fire soon..
[03:28] <SuperFireLord42> ubuser: pull up your computer online and find the newest bios for it and follow the instructions in general
[03:28] <escott> rjonesx1, real transparency or fake I can see the background transparency
[03:29] <ubuser> i know, but this is linux man
[03:29] <ubuser> i cant download my exe's
[03:29] <nit-wit> rjonesx1, compiz --replace in the terminal will reload it.
[03:29] <ubuser> idk what commands to do or nothing
[03:29] <celthunder> wallrace: the simple way is to throw his machine in a dmz the second easiest is port forwarding the other option is make his router into just a modem and use just your machien (won't work iwht other machiens online unless your isp gives you more than one ip) also the last option is extremely insecure
[03:29] <SuperFireLord42> anyone know if bios flashes work right in wine? :P /probably a bad idea
[03:29] <ubuser> should i go ahead and install 11.04 b4 the bios update?
[03:29] <rjonesx1> seriously nit-wit, if I type that into terminal again and this thing crashes I am coming for you.
[03:29] <pythonirc1012> I've a library sitting in a directory that a python program can not find -- I added the path to LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Is there anything else i need to do? ldd libyaafecore.so.0.61.0 -- outputs -- No such file or directory
[03:30] <celthunder> ubuser: unless you have an actual bios problem i wouldn't reflash it...
[03:30] <ubuser> i cant use my other 3 gigs of ram?
[03:30] <wallrace> SuperFireLord42 it's 192.168.2.xx
[03:30] <SuperFireLord42> ubuser: i would reset to factory in bios at the very least, it may fix it
[03:30] <escott> ubuser, use memtest to test the dimms one may have gone bad
[03:30] <celthunder> ubuser: ? in the os or does bios literally not show it
[03:30] <rjonesx1> hmm, ok, seems to have reloaded fine
[03:30] <nit-wit> rjonesx1, you could reboot compiz is finicky in natty you have to be able to log out of X run that command a and reboot, while teaking
[03:30] <SuperFireLord42> wallrace: what happens when you go to that address in the browser? (probably <IP_ADDRESS>?)
[03:31] <ubuser> it wont turn on, i cant see anything on the monitor if my rams in
[03:31] <ubuser> itll boot up tho
[03:31] <celthunder> ubuser: is your ram compatible with your motherboard?
[03:31] <nit-wit> rjonesx1, I was lokng for you over the back fence.;)
[03:31] <SuperFireLord42> celthunder: it sounds like the reset he did on the board did not work right. imho, thats why i was thinking of flashing it
[03:31] <ubuser> yes, i had windows running
[03:31] <tomek_> hi, how can i get root privileges?
[03:31] <nit-wit> sudo su
[03:31] <rjonesx1> so, when i close the terminal in which i ran compiz --replace, and my computer burns to the ground, what is your phone number and home address?
[03:31] <SuperFireLord42> tomek_: sudo -i
[03:32] <wallrace> SuperFireLord42 it gives information about his router and lets him change settings but we can't find anything about port forwarding/anything that looks like it would work
[03:32] <celthunder> SuperFireLord42: he can't make up his mind one minute the ram doens't work at all the next windows ran fine with the ram in...either it turns on or it doesn't....
[03:32] <SuperFireLord42> wallrace, what router is it? linksys?
[03:32] <escott> nit-wit, sudo -i
[03:32] <nit-wit> escott, thanks
[03:32] <celthunder> wallrace: did you see my last message
[03:32] <celthunder> wallrace: also make/model of his router/modem?
[03:33] <SuperFireLord42> celthunder: i still wonder if the old ubuntu he has is too old to handle the ram? i thought the older kernels had a 4GB limit, then again, i am not faimilar with 5.1
[03:33] <celthunder> tomek_: sudo su -
[03:33] <tripelb> hiexpo, clicking on one or another of the VOB's opened totem player and pressing play gave me nothing, black silent. -- I dont understand dvd's at all. I mounted it into a folder called test which has two folders VIDEO_TS AND AUDIO_TS both of which are "apparently" empty. I can see their insides when I look at the .iso thrru archive manager. -- I have no idea what I am looking at. Nor what I made a diskimage of.
[03:33] <ubuser> okay im having more problems
[03:33] <wallrace> celthunder yeah i have three browser tabs on dmz's loading right now
[03:33] <celthunder> SuperFireLord42: probably lol
[03:33] <ubuser> since i am on ubuntu 5.1 i cant find my sources list, so the svn repository doesnt work
[03:33] <celthunder> ubuser: /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:33] <ubuser> i want to know how to do a bios flash in linux, i dont have an a:
[03:34] <ubuser> i cant burn a cd without svn
[03:34] <ubuser> i got that
[03:34] <SuperFireLord42> ubuser: uh... svn? isnt that a subversion tool?
[03:34] <ubuser> all the links are old now
[03:34] <celthunder> SuperFireLord42: yeah
[03:34] <ubuser> the repositories man
[03:34] <nit-wit> ubuser, there is no universal way it depends on the app for installing.
[03:34] <ubuser> . . .
[03:34] <celthunder> SuperFireLord42: what i'm wondering is why he's on a version from like 7 years ago
[03:35] <ubuser> i got it mailed to me -.-
[03:35] <SuperFireLord42> celthunder: i think the best bet is he just needs to put 11.04 on it and then we see what to do.
[03:35] <ubuser> im sick of viruses
[03:35] <SuperFireLord42> ubuser: can you burn the 11.04 cd?
[03:35] <ubuser> i cant reload without a cd, i dont have a flash drive
[03:35] <nit-wit> ubuser, usually it involves a floppy,  installed mine on my acer asipre from a live W7 session.
[03:35] <ubuser> i cant burn a cd, there is no program
[03:35] <ubuser> what program doesnt require any dependencys? will i have to download them 1 by 1?
[03:35] <wallrace> celthunder SuperFireLord42 it's a 2wire 2701HG-G
[03:35] <Dommer> anyone here good with programming and python?
[03:35] <Dommer> I need help
[03:36] <ubuser> u cant use a cd to flash bios?
[03:36] <SuperFireLord42> ubuser: Dommer a bit
[03:36] <celthunder> ubuser: get a ub stick then do dd if=<ubuntu11.iso> of=/dev/<usbdevice> then install from that
[03:36] <ubuser> what?
[03:36] <tensorpudding> Dommer: #python would be a better place to field questions about python
[03:36] <grendal-prime> i want to build a package from some source for gtk-gnutella
[03:36] <grendal-prime> anyone dont that reciently
[03:36] <celthunder> Dommer: some..what's the issue
[03:36] <SuperFireLord42> celthunder and wallrace i know nothing about 2wires.
[03:36] <ubuser> guess im on my own..
[03:37] <tripelb> cool, found the ubuntu 10.04 disk torrent on the pirate bay, thru google
[03:37] <celthunder> SuperFireLord42: wallrace 2wires FAIL...with that said...it should have port forwarding/dmz abilities check portforward.com and then just replace the game port with 22
[03:37] <Dommer> it's not about python exactly, but how to make a program from it.  that said, taking a program I have scripted that is currently running and make it a real app
[03:37] <wallrace> SuperFireLord42 i forgive you. but seriously you've been a huge help so far thanks
[03:37] <SuperFireLord42> wallrace: you will ahve to look around a bit for it i think
[03:37] <tensorpudding> Dommer: that's still a python question; you have to add a hashbang and make it executable
[03:37] <SuperFireLord42> wallrace: thats what I do when i see new stuff xD
[03:37] <nit-wit> ubuser, your missing the important part it relies on the media itself, whether cd usb flppy or from a live setup, contact the manufacturer or the patch conveyor.
[03:37] <wallrace> celthunder yeah he said he got it for free but thanks
[03:37] <Dommer> how the hell do I do that?
[03:37] <SuperFireLord42> Dommer: look at pythons tutorials, they actually are pretty well written
[03:38] <tensorpudding> Dommer: but wait, you mean you have a script and you want to make it an app?
[03:38] <tensorpudding> Dommer: python scripts already are "applications"
[03:38] <tensorpudding> Dommer: they don't need to be compiled or anything
[03:38] <celthunder> SuperFireLord42: wallrace did you try that site and seeing if it had the 2wire model listed or try a similar model name and just clickon a random app replace the port with 22
[03:39] <Dommer> yeah.  I have written a web browser and it is runing currently on facebook.com  I haven't seen ANY bugs and the plus to it is no proxy server is needed.  I want to make it available for use for whenever
[03:39] <wallrace> celthunder SuperFireLord42 escott at least i know it's a router problem now :P
[03:39] <SuperFireLord42> celthunder: looking at it now actually :P
[03:39] <wallrace> celthunder SuperFireLord42 working on it now
[03:39] <celthunder> SuperFireLord42: pm?
[03:39] <tensorpudding> Dommer: you're not very clear
[03:39] <SuperFireLord42> celthunder: go ahead, if this client will support it :P
[03:40] <celthunder> Dommer: upload it somewhere
[03:40] <celthunder> Dommer: link to it then...you're sharing it
[03:40] <Dommer> how would I go at doing that exactly?
[03:40] <Dommer> that*
[03:40] <SuperFireLord42> hey wallrace, i got some light reading for us to look through :P http://www.2wire.com/pages/pdfs/2701HG_user_guide.pdf
[03:40] <JuJuBee> can i restore grub2 from a 9.04 live cd?  I did a fresh install of Windows and lost grub.  I was using 10.04 prior with grub 2 but only have 9.04 live with me...
[03:41] <tensorpudding> Dommer: what exactly is it that you have, a python script?
[03:41] <nit-wit> JuJuBee, not from a9.04
[03:41] <JuJuBee> :
[03:41] <nit-wit> *9.04
[03:41] <escott> JuJuBee, yes follow the chroot method in !grub
[03:41] <JuJuBee> :(
[03:41] <Dommer> I'll show you if you tell me how I would post it
[03:41] <Dommer> wit...
[03:41] <JuJuBee> !grub > JuJuBee
[03:41] <nit-wit> JuJuBee, what is the distro installed
[03:41] <Dommer> wait wait wait, I think I know how
[03:41] <Dommer> brb
[03:41] <Zelozelos> anybody know if wine will run combat arms fps?
[03:41] <tensorpudding> Dommer: you can share files on the internet in a lot of different ways, one rather simple way would be using dropbox
[03:42] <JuJuBee> nit-wit: I have 10.04 installed
[03:42] <tensorpudding> Zelozelos: check the wine appdb
[03:42] <tensorpudding> !wine
[03:42] <tensorpudding> err
[03:42] <tensorpudding> !appdb
[03:42] <Zelozelos> ahh ok forgot about that  tensorpudding
[03:42] <pirlo89> Dommer: use postbin
[03:42] <nit-wit> JuJuBee, you need a 10.04 do you need a esy link
[03:42] <nit-wit> *easy
[03:42] <Dommer> postbin?
[03:42] <Dommer> I'm new at coding, I dunno much :O
[03:43] <tensorpudding> Dommer: if it's a single .py file, you can copy and paste it onto pastebin.com
[03:43] <tensorpudding> !paste
[03:43] <JuJuBee> nit-wit: no I am going to download a 11.04 iso
[03:43] <tensorpudding> there's one
[03:43] <poppo> hmm
[03:43] <pirlo89> Dommer: post it at http://pastebin.com/
[03:43] <JuJuBee> nit-wit: I can use that to restore, can't I?
[03:43] <Guest86693> hi someone french 6
[03:43] <tensorpudding> !fr | Guest86693
[03:43] <nit-wit> JuJuBee, don't use the 11.04 to load grub it is diffrent.
[03:44] <JuJuBee> awww maaannn... Now I need a 10.04 also...
[03:44] <escott> JuJuBee, I would worry about the 11.04 easy version for the same reason. just use the chroot method
[03:44] <Dommer> wait.. what the....
[03:45] <KSHawkEye> Is ubuntu one here to stay, or should I also backup my files at another location as well?
[03:45] <celthunder> KSHawkEye: ??
[03:45] <Dommer> all the code is gone :O it's replaced by freakin web scripts
[03:45] <KSHawkEye> celthunder: Is there any chance that ubuntu one will be closed in the future?
[03:45] <Dommer> File "<stdin>", line 2, in load_progress_changed
[03:45] <Dommer> ZeroDivisionError: integer division or modulo by zero

[03:45] <FloodBot1> Dommer: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:45] <KSHawkEye> "ubuntu one" the online storage
[03:46] <tensorpudding> KSHawkEye: if you're asking whether canonical will drop support for it, i'm going to suppose that's unlikely in the short-term
[03:46] <JuJuBee> escott: what do you mean?  chroot method?
[03:46] <poppo> Hopefully not.
[03:46] <JuJuBee> do you have link?
[03:46] <wallrace> SuperFireLord42 haha not only that but you're making me mad for not having set up copy/paste on this gentoo machine :P
[03:46] <escott> JuJuBee, its in the !grub link
[03:46] <escott> !grub > escott
[03:46] <celthunder> KSHawkEye: lol idk...100 percent likely long term...as things develop i'm sure it'll disappear /turn into something else but...for now ? probably not...always good to have more than one backup location anyway
[03:46] <poppo> KSHawkEye: Although if they do drop it, there's still Dropbox.
[03:46] <SuperFireLord42> wallrace: :P
[03:47] <SuperFireLord42> wallrace: i am not used to there being that detailed of a manual
[03:47] <escott> JuJuBee, beginning here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#METHOD%203%20-%20CHROOT
[03:48] <The_Explorer> i did a chroot to run linux on android, but the internet wont forward to it, so apt-get wont connect
[03:48] <wallrace> SuperFireLord42 and the worst part is the picture doesn't match up with what he's seeing
[03:48] <JuJuBee> escott: says 9.10 or later... :(
[03:48] <SuperFireLord42> wallrace: hmm, ouch...
[03:48] <wallrace> SuperFireLord42 he doesn't have a firewall tab at the top...
[03:48] <SuperFireLord42> wallrace: is the pdf the right unit?
[03:48] <nit-wit> JuJuBee, exactly and I doubt you have to chroot but it is a good skill to heve.;)
[03:49] <escott> JuJuBee, the chroot thing will get you into your installed system. you can do a standard grub reinstall following grub1 instructions if that is what you ahve
[03:49] <nit-wit> escott, 10.04 is grub2
[03:50] <JuJuBee> escott: I have grub 2
[03:50] <KSHawkEye> poppo: Thanks for the tip for Dropbox, im trying it now
[03:50] <wallrace> SuperFireLord42 it's a 2701 HG-G but I don't see that that has its own manual
[03:50] <poppo> KSHawkEye: no probs :)
[03:51] <roasted> Question - how do I tell what device my usb webcam is, in terms of /dev/video0 or what?
[03:51] <escott> JuJuBee, i can't imagine why they say 9.10 and higher, it should work fine unless there were some substantial libc/kernel changes which will be obvious as soon as you chroot in
[03:51] <JohnTeddy> So Lenovo keyboards are crippled, the Fn key is where the Control key should be. I can't change 15 years of habit.... how can I change my Fn key to be a control key also?
[03:52] <trism> 10.04 would be the "or later" part, the message is included because grub2 was first introduced in 9.10
[03:52] <trism> as default that is
[03:52] <escott> JohnTeddy, first see if Fn is even recognized in xev if it isn't then i think you are SOL
[03:52] <rosstaylor> i have a problem with youtube videos, everytime i maximize the videos it lags
[03:53] <rosstaylor> full screen maximization
[03:53] <tensorpudding> JohnTeddy: the Fn key is actually special
[03:53] <escott> trism, which is bull**** because the point is to chroot in, the only versions that matter are the versions on the already installed system
[03:53] <tensorpudding> JohnTeddy: it's not a real key; it only sends key signals when paired with another key
[03:53] <tensorpudding> JohnTeddy: so there isn't likely anything you can do
[03:53] <JohnTeddy> damn, this is so silly. Why did they put the Fn key there.
[03:53] <tensorpudding> JohnTeddy: since pressing the key isn't recognized by the OS
[03:53] <JohnTeddy> I hate laptop keyboards
[03:54] <tensorpudding> JohnTeddy: my advice is to make caps lock a second control key
[03:55] <Zelozelos> JohnT
[03:55] <Zelozelos> oops
[03:55] <trism> escott: oh, I see your point, yes it is awkwardly worded
[03:55] <Zelozelos> JohnTeddy, best advice is to get used 2 getting used to diff keyboards. adapt-overcome ;)
[03:55] <Fritz750> french
[03:56] <rww> !fr
[03:57] <escott> trism, unless there was a big libc change or if the 9.10 and later libc cannot interface with 9.4 and earlier kernels... and its been a while since that kind of incompatiblity has been introduced
[03:57] <Zelozelos> using 11.04 and i guess its called unity, is there a way to add a panel so i can have my applets  back such as the clipboard edit thingy n such?
[03:57] <The_Explorer> can one edit xorg.conf and set vncserver as display output?
[03:57] <rhizmoe> what package should i use for qt4 core?
[03:57] <maxagaz> hi
[03:58] <yourname32> Is anyone familiar with the iFolder client? I keep getting a 'Novell.iFolder.iFolderApplication.StartiFolder' error when I try to start it not as any user but root.
[03:58] <rosstaylor> i have a problem with youtube videos, everytime i maximize the videos to full screen view it lags
[03:58] <maxagaz> is there a terminal more powerfull than gnome-terminal ? another alternative ?
[03:58] <maxagaz> the terminal is more powerful on KDE
[03:58] <escott> maxagaz, what do you want that makes it more powerful?
[03:58] <rww> maxagaz: then install the KDE terminal and use that instead ;P
[03:59] <rww> (package: konsole)
[03:59] <roasted> Question - lsusb shows Bus 001 Device 004: ID 046d:080f Logitech, Inc. Webcam C120. for my usb webcam. What would this translate to in /dev/path? I need to use a /dev/video path for ZoneMinder to work.
[03:59] <sage000> maxagaz: I'd recommend urxvt (rxvt-unicode in the repos)
[03:59] <escott> roasted see where the symlink in /dev/bus/usb/001/004 points
[03:59] <roasted> escott, how would I do that?
[04:01] <wallrace> SuperFireLord42 escott all the guides for the 2701hg-g say there's a firewall tab in the top right but we don't have one. this is getting to be ridiculous.
[04:01] <SuperFireLord42> somethings really wrong, i'm gone
[04:01] <escott> roasted ls -l
[04:02] <maxagaz> sage000: it looks so ugly
[04:02] <Zelozelos> rosstaylor youtube uses flash right? try and increase the amount of storage space is my only guess, or pause for a while then goto fullscreen and play
[04:03] <maxagaz> sage000: I'd like something that allow me to split the terminal in two
[04:03] <sage000> maxagaz: Do you want powerful or pretty? ; p (if you want split-screen terminals, look into byobu or screen)
[04:03] <maxagaz> sage000: I want pretty
[04:03] <rosstaylor> zelozelos: any other suggestion?
[04:04] <maxagaz> sage000: byobu/screen's mouse scroll isn't convenient
[04:04] <bluebomber> Does anyone know if there is terminal software that allows tabbing, like gnome-terminal, but that I can use remotely without having to enable X forwarding?
[04:04] <Kevin_Flynn> Hello.  I'm running Xubuntu 10.10 which came with Parole media player.  I'm trying to play an AVI file, but it says I'm missing a pluggin.  I searched the net but, found nothing.
[04:05] <bluebomber> I'd like to SSH into my remote box and open multiple prompts within a single, non-x-forwarding session.
[04:05] <Zelozelos> rosstaylor, perhaps its the browser and not flash, try a diff browser, check 2 make sure your connections is good, u have a decent vid card right?
[04:05] <escott> bluebomber, screen
[04:05] <maxagaz> sage000: sorry, byobu's mouse scroll is fine indeed
[04:05] <escott> roasted, that may not work actually. im not sure how you distinguish v4l devices
[04:06] <maxagaz> sage000: better than screen's one
[04:06] <lsv> hi
[04:06] <maxagaz> sage000: do you know how to run byobu by default when I open a terminal ?
[04:06] <lsv> I found this page ( http://ajdiaz.wordpress.com/2010/12/20/integer-conversions-in-bash/ ) and I was wondering if any one could explain the first example in the page?
[04:07] <sage000> maxagaz: I just have a keyboard shortcut, with 'urxvtc -e byobu' mapped to Alt-S.
[04:08] <uabn93> how can I get my pc's internal sd card reader to read my card?
[04:08] <rosstaylor> zelozelos: this problem has surfaced as of recently, everything worked fine before i upgraded to 11.04
[04:09] <_genuser_> hello ubntu nuts
[04:09] <lsv> hello you
[04:09] <yourname32> uabn93, what trouble are you having with it now?
[04:10] <nit-wit> rosstaylor, try the FF addon flash aid.
[04:10] <uabn93> yourname32: It doesn't read my sd card when I plug it in. It's strange.
[04:11] <yourname32> uabn93, when you plug in the card, if you type in 'dmesg' to the terminal, does it show any reference to a new usb device?
[04:11] <uabn93> yourname32: And I know that its plugged into the mobo correctly because it lights up when plugged in
[04:12] <wallrace> alright escott SuperFireLord42 celthunder thanks for all the help we're gonna call it a night
[04:12] <celthunder> wallrace: gnight
[04:13] <maxagaz> what's the name of the terminal for kde ?
[04:13] <carnage1> terminal
[04:13] <maxagaz> carnage1: what's the package name ?
[04:14] <carnage1> lxterminal
[04:14] <uabn93> yourname32: all i really see is "usb 5-1: reset full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2"
[04:14] <lsv> uabn93: try this unplug the card, open a terminal and enter this: tail /var/log/messages , now insert the card and check if the computer recognize the sd card
[04:15] <pirlo89> @maxagaz kosole
[04:15] <pirlo89> *konsole
[04:16] <ariez> anyone know whats segmentation faults exacly?
[04:16] <pirlo89> ariez: its when you access something your not allowed to
[04:16] <debsan> ariez, that's a common problem in programming
[04:16] <lsv> uabn93: you want this line: "May 24 22:15:20 <Computer Name> kernel: [ 2591.345811]  sdb: sdb1" more exactly you want the "sdb1" part of the line
[04:17] <uabn93> lsv: didnt work.
[04:17] <Exia00> Hello, I need help... I want to install Ubuntu but i dont want to fully format my windows hard drive, is there a way to partitionate my disk without losing my data ?
[04:17] <carnage1> side by side
[04:17] <jester> ok, here's the problem:  i have the user account logged on. only 1 user account without root privs. how do i get root privs without them already lol
[04:17] <ariez> i see this message error every time i do iwconfig
[04:18] <jester> sorry im nub at ubuntu. i work on windows computers lol
[04:18] <xrfang> I found there is no way to report a problem on launchpad now, if I click "report a bug", it direct me to a wiki page on how to collect program data etc. that is not what I want... any hints?
[04:18] <lsv> uabn93: so nothing is added to the terminal when you plug your sd card?
[04:18] <rosstaylor> nit-wit: how do i get that
[04:18] <uabn93> lsv: Oh. wait a sec....
[04:19] <nit-wit> rosseaux, click on the addons and put it in the search box
[04:19] <jester> any1 got a solution?
[04:19] <yourname32> Exia00, I don't know if the current ubuntu installer has this built in - but in the past I've always used gparted LiveCD to resize my windows (NTFS) partition and leave some blank space, then install a dual-boot setup.
[04:20] <debsan> Exia00, off course, in the installation you are asked to select all the disk or just some free spce to install ubuntu
[04:20] <nit-wit> rosstaylor, click on tools addons and put it in the search box, sorry rosseaux
[04:20] <carnage1> at least 8 gigs
[04:20] <uabn93> lsv: this apears "sd 0:0:0:0: Device offlined - not ready after error recovery" and then this line afterwards "EXT4-fs (sda7): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)"
[04:20] <jester> can any1 help?
[04:20] <Exia00> hmmm nice many thanks! yourname32 and debsan, i'll check both
[04:21] <yourname32> jester, do you need root to install something? You shouldn't always be running as root. If you've got unubtu, just append 'sudo' before the command you're trying to run.
[04:21] <roothorick> is there a way to disable the sound manager stuff? I have powered speakers and want the ALSA mixer set up a certain way
[04:21] <trism> xrfang: it is described on that page, in the Filing bugs at Launchpad.net section
[04:22] <jester> no. i dont have an account so i can do anything that requires admin privs
[04:22] <rosstaylor> nit-wit: that didn't work..
[04:22] <jester> it took forever to even log in
[04:22] <ubuser> okay, hello everyone, i am still having bios problems, i am on ubuntu 5.1, i was wanting to upgrade.., i was wondering if there was a mini ubuntu that i could just download instead of having to burn to a cd, and keep this as backup or delete it later...
[04:22] <lsv> uabn93: I don't know a lot but did your pc turn off suddenly while your sd card was on or you unplug the sd card when you were passing thing to or from the sd card?
[04:22] <yourname32> jester, are you trying to recover a computer that you need root access to? I'm just confused as to what you're trying to do.
[04:22] <tomek_> is ubuntu built in firewall secure?
[04:22] <jester> i had to reset my pass for my account
[04:22] <nit-wit> rosstaylor, did you have a popup to run it on restart of FF?
[04:23] <jester> anytime i want to do anything (almost) it asks for admin privs account password
[04:23] <jester> i dont have one and cannot set
[04:23] <ubuser> how do i do an ubuntu install from desktop without cd?
[04:23] <jester> cant make a new account or anything
[04:24] <yourname32> jester, are you running in ubuntu, or some other flavour of linux?
[04:24] <roothorick> jester: can you open a terminal?
[04:24] <jester> i have it open now
[04:24] <rosstaylor> nit-wit: no pop up
[04:24] <roothorick> jester: if you can, ps ax > process-list.txt and pastebin the process-list.txt
[04:24] <roothorick> jester: which version Ubuntu btw?
[04:24] <jester> but it says my account is not in the sudoers file
[04:24] <jester> 11.04
[04:25] <ubuser> i downloaded a mini 64x 11.04 ubuntu iso, and it kept freezing
[04:25] <roothorick> jester: you probably just clobbered your /etc/sudoers
[04:25] <jester> lol maybe
[04:25] <roothorick> jester: actually, pastebin your /etc/sudoers, if you can read it
[04:25] <ubuser> is there any way around using a cd to install ubuntu
[04:25] <jester> how to fix?
[04:25] <jester> ok hold
[04:25] <uabn93> lsv: I don't think so cause it never worked since Ive started using linux. not sure if it even worked back when i had windows but I can get the sd card to work if i plug it in with a usb to sd adapter i have.
[04:25] <rosstaylor> nit-wit: it doesn't seem to work..
[04:25] <roothorick> jester: use a LiveCD to copy the /etc/sudoers from a working Ubuntu install
[04:26] <geeksmith> ubuser: have you checked out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes ? You can't upgrade from 5.1 to the latest, you have to do it incrementally
[04:26] <nit-wit> rosstaylor, it usually popsuo the first run as it searches for the latest Adobe and removes the installer. Most people don't remove the installler so it seems strange for it not to.
[04:26] <ubuser> yea
[04:26] <ubuser> nty
[04:26] <yourname32> tomek_, the firewall is secure, although you might need to tweak the default setup if you're making a production server.
[04:26] <ubuser> 4 gigs ftw
[04:26] <jester> i dont have a sudoers file lol
[04:27] <rosstaylor> nit-wit: i ran it
[04:27] <qin> jester: You can reset password via recovery
[04:27] <jester> and i dont know how to copy the files
[04:27] <jester> i did that
[04:27] <lsv> uabn93: oh ok.  type " mount " in the terminal, is there anything in the output with "sda7"?
[04:27] <nit-wit> rosstaylor, generally it is a fixall tool hope it works.;)
[04:27] <ubuser> alt f4 to type with colors!11
[04:27] <roothorick> jester: well there's your problem, hahah. Do you have a working Natty machine elsewhere? I don't know if the LiveCD sudoers is the same or not
[04:28] <roothorick> really, no ban for that?
[04:28] <qin> jester: Hold shift at boot, log to root shell (no networking), passwd <your username>
[04:28] <jester> no i dont (im sorry im such a lost cause  XP)
[04:28] <Flannel> roothorick: Not on the first time.
[04:28] <jester> i did that
[04:28] <roothorick> Flannel: fair enough
[04:28] <geeksmith> ubuser: your only option is to do a fresh install, then. You can't do that in-place, you'll need a boot CD
[04:28] <rosstaylor> nit-wit: ok it appears so
[04:28] <rosstaylor> nit-wit: thank yo
[04:28] <rosstaylor> nit-wit: !!
[04:28] <nit-wit> rosstaylor, no problem
[04:28] <roothorick> I wish I knew more about Ubuntu recovery stuff, heh
[04:28] <qin> jester: groups <your username>, what it gives?
[04:29] <roothorick> jester: long story short, you need to replace your /etc/sudoers. That'll fix your biggest problem by itself.
[04:29] <uabn93> lsv: just this "(sda7): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)"
[04:29] <tohodson> exit
[04:29] <gastaldi> Does ubuntu 32 bit uses 4Gb RAM ?  It affects all versions of Windows, all versions of Linux, OSX, FreeBSD, Hurd, you name it.
[04:30] <uabn93> lsv: forget what i said above
[04:30] <jester> and ill see if i can stay on chat while so
[04:30] <roasted> Is there a way I can disable my integrated webcam?
[04:30] <gastaldi> roothorick: thanks for the explanation
[04:30] <roothorick> gastaldi: you should be using 64bit if your processor supports it, regardless, anyway
[04:31] <gastaldi> cool
[04:31] <uabn93> lsv: Yup :) i see it. it say /dev/sda7 on /media/blahblah
[04:31] <qin> roasted: Well you could just chmod /dev/video0 (if this is right dev)
[04:31] <roothorick> gastaldi: because AMD64/EM64T is more than just bigger pointers, it has extra registers and other useful thihngs
[04:32] <tripelb> re my .iso file I know what it is because the My-computer view showed me the titile. so I renamed the .iso file. so I opened the .iso with VLC and it is all well thanks hiexpo and  escott and celthunder
[04:32] <uabn93> lsv: Do you mount with " mount" followed by the sda7 line?
[04:33] <gastaldi> roothorick: Superb !
[04:33] <Fritz750> hi sorry my english
[04:33] <roasted> qin, what just chmod 000 it?
[04:34] <Omen_20> hi is it no longer possible possible to change your user account pic?
[04:34] <Fritz750> but i d like to know how i can secure my computer under ubuntu ... mask ip etc
[04:34] <qin> roasted: For a test yes, eventually you can blacklist coresponding module.
[04:34] <Mokkabar> So, I used unetbootin with Natty Narwhal, and used the "add persistent" feature and gave it 300mb (2gb usb)
[04:34] <lsv> uabn93: I would mount it by typing: sudo mount /dev/sda7 /media/some-folder
[04:34] <Mokkabar> but when I go in there, it says I have 0mb available to me
[04:35] <roothorick> so how do I disable SoundMenu?
[04:35] <Mokkabar> I see "330mb file system" in the file explorer, but there's nothing in nit
[04:35] <Mokkabar> what did I do wrong?
[04:35] <qin> roasted: Just make sure what where orginal /dev/video0 permissions (if you change your mind)
[04:36] <lsv> uabn93: where some-folder is an existing folder
[04:36] <roasted> qin, thanks bro
[04:36] <geeksmith> Fritz750: can you be more specific?  Ubuntu has firewall, intrusion detection, and several other network security systems.  What are you trying to accomplish?  (Don't worry, your english seems just fine)
[04:37] <qin> Fritz750: man iptables (first stop)
[04:38] <Mokkabar> append initrd=/ubninit file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper quiet splash -- persistent
[04:38] <Mokkabar> that's my syslinux.cfg line
[04:38] <Fritz750> yes i know ubuntu is almost secure than W7etc but its about my ip what i do on the net etc ,,,
[04:39] <Fritz750> iptables/
[04:39] <uabn93> lsv: Mounting it under a new file name worked but still doesn't read the card. It's alright though
[04:40] <uabn93> lsv: i learned something new
[04:40] <lsv> uabn93: :D glad I could be of help
[04:40] <uabn93> lsv: Thanks for the help. I'll just use the usb adapter from now on
[04:41] <l00pb4ck> hi everyone , is it possible to stop notifications momentarily when 'im playing mame in full screen?
[04:41] <geeksmith> Fritz750: you can use anonymizer systems like anonet to tunnel traffic and essentially hide it. If you're trying to secure your computer from attacks, then iptables is the first stop, as qin indicated.
[04:41] <lsv> uabn93: no problem
[04:42] <moses> one of my monitors looks like shit
[04:42] <moses> the other one is clear
[04:42] <moses> why is this?
[04:42] <FloodBot1> moses: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:42] <Fritz750> iptables ? sorry don t know what is it? :)
[04:43] <IIAir_LeoII> hi do C++ coul be used for bilding apps for linux
[04:43] <surgeterrix> Fritz750 it's your software firewall built into the Linux kernel
[04:43] <surgeterrix> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iptables
[04:44] <Fritz750> oops ok sorry
 sure, why not
[04:44] <Fritz750> are from us 6
[04:44] <Fritz750> ?
[04:45] <Skrewtape> Hey, I hope somebody can help me out.  My apache error log is being spammed with weird messages and I'm not sure where they're coming from.  They don't seem to be associated with any entries in the access log
[04:45] <IIAir_LeoII> allright then back to study.......
[04:45] <REK_007> do we need any antivirus on linux , AFAIK it was no but read in some tech magazine that it is better to have it .. is it true?
[04:45] <Axlin> REK_007: i only use an AV to scan files before passing them on to windows users
[04:46] <littlebearz> i personally use clamav
[04:46] <REK_007> Axlin: which one do you use?
[04:46] <Axlin> i just use clamav, but there are others available, like avast
[04:46] <REK_007> ok so its basically required to clean windows in a way :P
[04:46] <surgeterrix> @REK_007 ClamAV but its very unlikely
[04:46] <surgeterrix> as mentioned mainly to used to scan for Windows viruses on Samba shares, email gateways, etc
[04:47] <Axlin> REK_007: i just do it *just* to be certain. i have never found anything malicious yet, as i don't send my friends/family suspicious stuff, but i guess i'm just nice like that :-P
[04:47] <surgeterrix> Fritz750 Firestarter will allow you to easily configure your firewall (IPTables) but its good to learn how it works
[04:47] <REK_007> :P
[04:47] <Skrewtape> Or maybe it's the case that they show up in my error log after each request, but they're PHP errors and I'm requesting a perl cgi
[04:48] <Fritz750> thanks a lot surgeterrix
[04:52] <Fritz750> oh i m ok for firewall but it s for "net" activity .. mask my ip on irc ... ?
[04:53] <surgeterrix> Fritz750 just remember to open ports for anything your running as a server like ssh, httpd etc
[04:53] <surgeterrix> Fritz750 that's a bit more advanced
[04:53] <lsv> does anyone know what " let someVar=10#$anotherVar " do if both variables are integers?
[04:53] <surgeterrix> Fritz750 proxies, anonymyzers, Tor, etc can be used but you kind of have to know what your doing
[04:54] <Fritz750> hey guys don t you know what s really happen in europ6
[04:54] <Fritz750> ?
[04:55] <Trfsrfr> why does my dual-monitor revert to mirror screen after screen saver?
[04:56] <geeksmith> lsv: in what language? sh? If so, it assigns 10 to someVar, and ignores the rest due to the '#'. I guess this could be shell-dependent, but zsh treats it how I described.
[04:58] <lsv> geeksmith: I'm using bash. I ask because I saw this ( http://ajdiaz.wordpress.com/2010/12/20/integer-conversions-in-bash/ )
[04:59] <solovoy> hi, how can i install this patch to banshe : https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=540873
[05:02] <ApOgEE> hi all, can i know when is the next meeting for Asia Oceania Ubuntu Membership Board?
[05:02] <jasonj2000> xchat-gnome --help
[05:03] <mrdeb> is anyone using lts here
[05:03] <van7hu> 3 questions :)
[05:03] <p896gbm> hey gents, i've been using kde for going on 6 years now. is gnome good now? should i give it a try?
[05:03] <p896gbm> i've been looking forward to kde 4.6
[05:03] <p896gbm> going to upgrade to natty
[05:04] <p896gbm> but wondering if i should try gnome, i keep hearing about 'unity' and all that
[05:04] <geeksmith> lsv: interesting...i guess zsh and bash differ in this functionality
[05:04] <p896gbm> is it good?
[05:04] <tensorpudding> p896gbm: it's good
[05:04] <p896gbm> is kubuntu good or should i use a different distribution to get a good kde?
[05:05] <Toph2> p896gbm,,, i found Unity very clumsy to use, so I went back to Classic
[05:05] <lsv> geeksmith: yeah, I was like Whaaatt?!?!?! because I though that # would do what you said...
[05:05] <mrdeb> p896gbm: kubuntu is pretty good, but barebone
[05:05] <geeksmith> p896gbm: hard to get an objective opinion here in the Ubuntu forum, but I do enjoy Kubuntu more than other KDE distros I've tried.  You can always install kubuntu-desktop to give it a whirl.
[05:05] <lsv> geeksmith: and now I'm trying to figure out how that works... no luck so far
[05:05] <Fritz750> are u from us from all of people on here ?
[05:07] <geeksmith> lsv: that's a pretty interesting bash feature!
[05:09] <mrdeb> is karmic koala still supported
[05:09] <infinitux> okay. how do I get emerald working?
[05:09] <infinitux> seems in 11.04 it doesn't work.
[05:10] <infinitux> related to unity from what I understand, so how do I fix it?
[05:10] <mrdeb> whats emerald
[05:10] <infinitux> i prefer to use xfce4 with compiz and emerald.
[05:10] <lsv> geeksmith: it is, but I don't understand it :(
[05:10] <piLau> im kinda liking mint10
[05:11] <root> aw
[05:14] <KSHawkEye> what are some decent text editors for Ubuntu? Other then gedit and vim
[05:15] <HardDisk> nano
[05:15] <HardDisk> gnight.
[05:15] <KSHawkEye> Non command line based
[05:16] <rzx237> KSHawkEye: scite, leafpad
[05:16] <din> KSHawkEye: mousepad
[05:16] <p896gbm> KSHawkEye: gvim :)
[05:17] <qin> KSHawkEye: emacs
[05:17] <din> KSHawkEye: meld
[05:17] <din> i use that for svndiff a lot.
[05:17] <qin> KSHawkEye: also kate, bluefish
[05:18] <Abhijit> hi.
[05:18] <lsv> hey
[05:18] <KSHawkEye> Wow thanks, thats a long list
[05:19] <Abhijit> which is the standard address book format supported/accepted by windows/mac/linux and evolutioon/thunderbird/outlook and gmail/yahoo/hotmail?
[05:19] <MODspartan> so how many times do you guys recommend running apt-get upgrade/dist-upgrade
[05:20] <Fritz750> lol
[05:20] <Abhijit> MODspartan, ubuntu can automatically check for new updates. you can set the interval
[05:20] <KSHawkEye> MODspartan: i dont use the update manager so i do it every time i log on, first thing
[05:20] <p896gbm> backing up stuff to an external drive to format. always makes me nervous >.<
[05:20] <Logan_> Abhijit: CSV?
[05:20] <KSHawkEye> MODspartan: which would be once a day in my case
[05:20] <Abhijit> Logan_, ok
[05:21] <Fritz750> you can on w7 ? so you can onlinux /ubuntu ans it s more simple
[05:21] <p896gbm> hey guys can i rsync to an ntfs drive? i gather it will strip all the permissions but that's fine.
[05:22] <MODspartan> cool thanks for info
[05:23] <qin> p896gbm: You can gzip to make things work better.
[05:24] <p896gbm> well i assume gzip would reduce performance since i'm copying between local drives...
[05:24] <KSHawkEye> is build-essential now included with ubuntu 11.04?
[05:24] <p896gbm> doubt it :/
[05:25] <KSHawkEye> i think it is, i went to install it on a fresh 11.04 and it was already there.
[05:25] <p896gbm> wow that would be great if it is
[05:25] <p896gbm> makes me happy :)
[05:25] <rww> so did I the other day, so I guess so :\
[05:25] <din> p896gbm: find .|cpio -dpmv /destination works well too.
[05:25] <gh0st> so fcrackzip....how do I know when it finds the password to my zip file?
[05:25] <Ferrel> Anyone using 10.04 and know hot go get lvconver --merge support?
[05:25] <Flannel> build-essential is in the manifest file, so... yes?
[05:26] <p896gbm> anybody know how to get rsync to remove destination files that aren't in source?
[05:26] <din> p896gbm: --delete
[05:27] <p896gbm> thx
[05:27] <din> p896gbm: just make sure you don't the the source and destination confused.
[05:27] <din> it could be very detrimental.
[05:27] <din> don't get*
[05:28] <p896gbm> heh
[05:28] <p896gbm> yeah i'm doing a dry run
[05:28] <p896gbm> thanks
[05:28] <p896gbm> backing up before a format is hectic shit :(
[05:28] <p896gbm> but hopefully once i get this setup, i won't have to change anything for a while
[05:28] <piLau> koo
[05:28] <p896gbm> i've got five harddrives in this thing, and i'm gonna take a 500gb partition from each one and set it up in a software raid6 for /home
[05:28] <p896gbm> is this a bad idea?
[05:29] <p896gbm> three of the five drives are 500gb only, so they will be fully used... also have a 1tb and a 2tb
[05:29] <p896gbm> the 2tb will be partitioned for windows, root, and the 500gb home
[05:29] <Avasz> how can i downgrade a package?
[05:29] <p896gbm> and the other half of the 1tb is just extra space i guess
[05:29] <Avasz> i need to downgrade wicd 1.70 to wicd 1.5.8
[05:30] <qin> p896gbm: Using links seems to be less demanding...
[05:30] <piLau> koo
[05:30] <din> p896gbm: nope. maybe set up a raid 6 with the partions then stripe them with a raid 0, hence raid 60 :)
[05:31] <p896gbm> din: well raid6 is already striped no?
[05:31] <p896gbm> qin: using links instead of raid you mean? the idea is to get redundency, so if any of the drives fail i don't lose any data
[05:31] <p896gbm> i can just buy a new drive, make a 500gb partition and hook it up
[05:31] <piLau> ....
[05:31] <Avasz> done
[05:33] <din> p896gbm: i misunderstood. raid 60 doesn't do much good unless you have more than one raid 6 set.
[05:33] <p896gbm> right
[05:33] <infinitux> so emerald's been linched?
[05:33] <infinitux> wtf?
[05:34] <KSHawkEye> is unity here for good?
[05:35] <Flannel> infinitux: Emerald has been dead for a couple of years now
[05:35] <srshk213> hella
[05:35] <rww> the latest major release of Compiz killed it for good. it's been unsupported for a long while.
[05:35] <infinitux> really? first I heard of it. jeeze am I out of the loop.
[05:36] <rww> !emerald
[05:36] <srshk213> guys im trying to try ubuntu on an imac through a usb stick but the info found the website is too technical, can anyone help me please?
[05:36] <rww> that factoid was last edited in 2009 ;)
[05:38] <flowbee> hi folks... can someone help me in configuring openvpn?  i want to ensure that *only* a few types of traffic go through the vpn.  i.e. like web browsing.  right now i'm using hidemyass's openvpn config and it seems to be sending *everything* through the proxy
[05:38] <Avasz> hm.. the wicd 1.5.8 crashes in lucid.
[05:39] <lsv> does anyone know how to stop X
[05:39] <ouyes> there is a shortcut  Fn+ home or end to adjust the screen light of my laptop, but I find that in all the screen light have 8 levels, how to increase the levels, in windows xp I get 12 levels
[05:40] <ouyes> the screen brightness
[05:40] <ptley> Lsv: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop will dtop
[05:40] <synchro> hello
[05:40] <lsv> ptley: thanks
[05:41] <synchro> what is a IRC plz ???
[05:41] <KSHawkEye> synchro: Google is your friend
[05:41] <synchro> ok ^^
[05:41] <qin> !irc
[05:42] <Fritz750> if someone talk about what s really happen in spain and france ... :)
[05:42] <synchro> KSHawkEye   thanx :)
[05:44] <van7hu> Fritz750, they're fighting in battle fields
[05:45] <lsv> some one in the kubuntu channel sugested " sudo service kdm stop "
[05:46] <PseudoGou> No that's not how you do it
[05:46] <infinitux> just gonna give up on emerald for now.
[05:46] <PseudoGou> oops
[05:46] <qin> lsv: kdm - KDE, gdm - Gnome
[05:46] <PseudoGou> It's /etc/init.d/kdm stop
[05:47] <qin> PseudoGou: Why not service?
[05:47] <PseudoGou> qin: That's how I remember it
[05:48] <qin> !upstart | PseudoGou
[05:48] <PseudoGou> What's this then?
[05:48] <qin> lsv: sudo service kdm stop - is ok
[05:48] <qin> well, both works.
[05:48] <lsv> qin: thanks
[05:48] <Fritz750> so the real battle field will come to us van7hu
[05:48] <lsv> PseudoGou: thanks
[05:49] <PseudoGou> Does anyone know what happened to the developers of bootlogd?
[05:50] <askaj> hi,how  to  chage  my  root   pass
[05:50] <PseudoGou> "passwd"
[05:50] <qin> askaj: Why do you want to do it?
[05:50] <PseudoGou> sudo su
[05:50] <PseudoGou> passwd
[05:51] <rww> !noroot
[05:51] <qin> !sudosu | PseudoGou
[05:51] <Flannel> askaj: Usually there's no reason to set a root password, use sudo instead.
[05:51] <PseudoGou> Ah that's why Kernelcheck wouldn't work, I have no root password
[05:52] <guyvdb_>  Hi. I think I messed up my .fonts.conf in ubuntu 11.04. Could someone pastie theirs for me
[05:52] <Semitones_tea> PseudoGou, you have a root password, it is just a very long random string
[05:53] <rww> nope
[05:53] <Flannel> Semitones_tea: No, the root account is locked.  There is no valid password.
[05:53] <gentoo_pauloo> Anyone know Helbreath run in PlayOnLinux?
[05:53] <PseudoGou> Semitones_tea: Any way of discovering it?
[05:53] <Semitones_tea> oh
[05:53] <PseudoGou> PseudoGou: I thought so
[05:53] <PseudoGou> PseudoGou: I thought so
[05:53] <PseudoGou> Flannel: I thought so
[05:53] <Semitones_tea> guess I'm wrong :P, Flannel, was it ever that way?
[05:53] <Flannel> Semitones_tea: No
[05:53] <PseudoGou> It's a locked account - that makes sense
[05:53] <rww> Ubuntu out of the box comes with the root password set to ! or * or some other obviously invalid never-matching password hash.
[05:53] <Flannel> I believe it's !
[05:54] <Flannel> or rather, the root password hash.
[05:54] <PseudoGou> But Kernelcheck kept telling me my password was wrong - now I know why, it needs root access
[05:54] <wonginator1221> guyvdb_: where is it located?
[05:54] <Flannel> (entered passwords generate a hash that can not contain a '!', therefore no passwords will ever match ! when hashed.
[05:54] <guyvdb_> ~/.fonts.conf
[05:54] <guyvdb_> or /home/<you>/.fonts.conf
[05:55] <Snakkah> Just out of curiosity, why is it that OpenSUSE and Fedora use the "xorg-x11-drv" drivers whereas Ubuntu uses the "xserver-xorg-video" drivers? Is there a real difference or is the difference in name only?
[05:55] <hiexpo> kinda funny that when i sudo su   i type my sudo password and get a root terminal   :)
[05:55] <askaj> ok
[05:55] <PseudoGou> Some guy wrote an article on how that Ubuntu pushing people never to use root access is a conspiracy
[05:55] <wonginator1221> guyvdb_: I only have a .fontconfig directory, sorry.
[05:56] <guyvdb_> ok thx... looks like Font Manager must have added it
[05:56] <qin> hiexpo: Change habit to sudo -i
[05:56] <guyvdb_> will try remove it
[05:56] <askaj>
[05:56] <flowbee> hi folks... can someone help me in configuring openvpn?  i want to ensure that *only* a few types of traffic go through the vpn.  i.e. like web browsing.  right now i'm using hidemyass's openvpn config and it seems to be sending *everything* through the vpn.
[05:56] <gh0st> so my laptop screen keeps locking after no use. how do I disable that annoying ass shit
[05:57] <wonginator1221> gh0st: check your screensaver Preferences

[05:59] <piLau> Guest, Have u updated the drivers?
[05:59] <wonginator1221> gh0st: did you check your powermanagement preferences?
[05:59] <gh0st> yes they're set to "never"

[06:00] <Guest65078> 11.04
[06:01] <Guest65078> I can't be a driver issue
[06:01] <wonginator1221> gh0st: might be graphics driver related, but i'm probably the wrong person to ask
[06:01] <Guest65078> I can connect to a router now
[06:01] <Guest65078> I just can't use the internet
[06:01] <piLau> ifconfig

[06:02] <piLau> that happened to me... blamed everything but me paying the bill
[06:02] <piLau> hmm
[06:02] <Guest65078> ... ugh
[06:03] <lsv> Guest65078: are you using a laptop?
[06:03] <PseudoGou> Guest65078: Which wireless?
[06:03] <Guest65078> no idea
[06:03] <PseudoGou> Guest65078: Who makes your wirelesss card?
[06:03] <Guest65078> its a Sony laptop heh

[06:03] <Guest65078> how can I check
[06:04] <Ferrel> anyone know if there are PPA repos for 10.04 with updated packages like LVM2?
[06:04] <PseudoGou> PseudoGou: On the underside of the laptop it says which Vaio it is, then I can reference the specs
[06:04] <lsv> Guest65078: does it have a switch to turn the wireless on and off?
[06:04] <hiexpo> Guest65078, open terminal type iwconfig
[06:04] <Guest65078> ok
[06:04] <Guest65078> dis iwconfig
[06:04] <PseudoGou> first ifconfig -a see if it shows
[06:04] <Guest65078> k

[06:27] <ganeshjacharya> can i use kvm for an already installed windows copy
[06:29] <android_lsv> anyone with a HTC evo phone?
[06:35] <nando> hola?
[06:35] <Ben64> I just installed a new SATA drive, and I want to boot off it instead of my current boot drive. What is the best way to accomplish that?
[06:35] <Guest55881> who let the dogs out!!!!
[06:35] <Guest55881> haha
[06:36] <Guest55881> remove the hdd
[06:36] <Guest55881> what's so hard aout that?
[06:36] <Ben64> you don't get it
[06:36] <Avasz> Ben64, the best way is...
[06:36] <rww> Guest55881: You might prefer #ubuntu-offtopic.
[06:36] <Avasz> select the boot option in bios
[06:36] <Ben64> nono, it has no information on it
[06:36] <Avasz> then your machine has not detected the HD?
[06:37] <Ben64> i want everything on /dev/sdb1 on /dev/sdc1
[06:37] <Avasz> there is something called... partmage or something for that i guess
[06:37] <Avasz> !partmage
[06:37] <Avasz> !partimage
[06:37] <Ben64> :(
[06:37] <lsv> it's off to bed people, thanks for all your help
[06:38] <android_lsv> me too, bye
[06:38] <pilau> kk
[06:40] <Bibs> PseudoGou,  :)
[06:40] <pirlo89> hi, is it possible for someone to help me with a programming problem ?
[06:40] <Bibs> fixed mah internet issue :p
[06:41] <moltendorf> Having a little trouble getting cron to work on Ubuntu Server 11.04; but I'm sort of new to it in general, so I guess that's to be expected.
[06:41] <moltendorf> Anyone available to help?
[06:41] <Flannel> moltendorf: Best to just ask the question, and if anyone can help, they will.  Make sure you have a carriage return at the end of the line.
[06:42] <Flannel> moltendorf: er, sorry, the "carriage return" comment was regarding your crontab. not your IRC question :)
[06:42] <overcluck> pirlo89: maybe, but you might want to look for a channel specific to the language you are using
[06:43] <moltendorf> I have two additional newlines at the end of /etc/crontab
[06:43] <pirlo89> overcluck:  its C++
[06:44] <pirlo89> overcluck:  do u know any channel ?
[06:46] <moltendorf> So this is the /etc/crontab file I set up: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=G0iLFab3
[06:47] <moltendorf> It has two additional lines (21 total) after the # at the end.
[06:49] <moltendorf> Is there any sort of command I have to run when I modify /etc/crontab? I restarted the cron service with service cron restart, but it didn't do anything.
[06:50] <ilon> moltendorf: do you have an error in your syntax?
[06:50] <ilon> moltendorf: i recall it silently ignoring lines with syntax error, hence seems to dont load the changes
[06:51] <moltendorf> I'm not sure, I posted a link to pastebin: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=G0iLFab3
[06:51] <moltendorf> Does it accept tabs?
[06:51] <moltendorf> Rather than individual spaces?
[06:52] <ilon> moltendorf: i'm not sure, but i dont think you'll have to reload anything, i rather think it parses the crontab each go
[06:52] <moltendorf> I did add two lines to it though.
