[00:11] <poss_> well restarting seemed to work
[00:12] <poss_> and I found another work around too, apparently I have to make sure and press eject on each disc, otherwise ubuntu doesn't recognise there is a new disc in the drive
[00:12]  * MC8 does not see an advanced settings section
[00:12] <poss_> thankyou again for your help fine people
[00:13] <Starminn> poss_ Glad it worked out.
[00:13] <a_p3rson> MC8: regional settings i think
[00:13] <BiMMeR> hi all
[00:13] <Starminn> BiMMeR: Hello.
[00:14] <BiMMeR> anybody knowledge about configuring a headset to use with teamspeak?
[00:14] <rick_> oie
[00:14] <rick_> ALGUEM?
[00:14] <MC8> hm, clicking 'reset default settings' still maps things like łðđæjŋ¢ to alt-gr+letter
[00:14] <the_dark_warrio> my function keys have two behavior which are triggered with the Fn key. Is it possible to set the default behavior (when Fn is not pressed)?
[00:14] <rick_> oie
[00:15] <a_p3rson> !portuguese | rick_
[00:15] <th0r> the_dark_warrio: research the .xmodmap file and the program xev
[00:16] <IsmAvatar> hey guys, I'm having trouble upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10. During the part where it sets the software channels, it errors with "E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages."
[00:16] <rick_> oi
[00:17] <BiMMeR> nobody knowledge about configuring a headset to use with teamspeak?
[00:17] <riccardo> hi all
[00:18] <Starminn> BiMMeR: You could try this maybe? *shrug* I have no experience with TeamSpeake even on non-Ubuntu systems. http://robert.penz.name/296/howto-install-teamspeak-3-server-on-ubuntu-10-04-lucid/
[00:19] <BiMMeR> hi starmin, thanks but that is about server setup i guess
[00:20] <Starminn> BiMMeR: So you're just trying to get the mic to work? (i.e. http://forum.teamspeak.com/archive/index.php/t-59220.html)
[00:21] <BiMMeR> have been searching for several days, so i dont think the answer lies there :(
[00:22] <Starminn> Is it the headset in general or just the mic? Have you tested to make sure the headset even works in Ubuntu at all? (If it's a lack of support in Ubuntu no amount of cnfiguration in TeamSpeak will help ;) )
[00:24] <rahduke1> how can i use a usb wifi card to create a wireless network so i can setup my NFS shares? My router broke
[00:25] <rahduke1> any help would be much appreciated
[00:25] <Abinadi> wow, if you can do that I could have saved myself $90 a couple of weeks ago
[00:25] <rahduke1> Abinadi: you can do that, ive done it before, just forgot how....its just like using your phone to tether your connection
[00:25] <BiMMeR> starminn i have it working in ubuntu, even on card0 (alsa) but i cant get it in teamspeak and when i try it stops everywhere
[00:26] <Abinadi> rahduke1, wow...I learn something every half hour in this place.
[00:27] <Abinadi> BiMMeR, I'm not very experienced yet but have you tried using pulseaudio?
[00:27] <BiMMeR> have been messing around with that too, same result, playback works like a charm, capture... not
[00:28] <rahduke1> how can i use a usb wifi card to create a wireless network so i can setup my NFS shares? My router broke.....
[00:28] <a_p3rson> can someone tell me how to compile this? http://sourceforge.net/projects/hplip/files/hplip/3.11.1/hplip-3.11.1.tar.gz/download
[00:28] <Starminn> BiMMeR: Have you selected all the proper input options in case it isjn't automatic? http://www.ehow.com/how_7727517_teamspeak-microphone-not-work.html
[00:29] <Starminn> !compile | a_p3rson
[00:29] <habstinat> Hi. This happens every time I try to install something via apt-get: http://paste.ubuntu.com/568962/ I'm on 10.04, and this is a big issue. I can still compile things from source.
[00:29] <skutr> hey i was trying to skype with my friend and my internal mic isnt working can anyone help?
[00:30] <Abinadi> !mics
[00:30] <BiMMeR> starminn that is windhoos
[00:30] <skutr> !mic
[00:30] <Starminn> Abinadi: I tried it.
[00:30] <Abinadi> lol
[00:30] <skutr> !mics
[00:30] <Starminn> You guys aren't abusing the bot ro anything, but read this and keep it in mind for future reference:
[00:30] <Starminn> !botabuse
[00:30] <foxjazz> where is a good place to get help in programming?
[00:30] <skutr> !internal mic
[00:31] <Starminn> foxjazz: /join #programming and see?
[00:31] <ActionParsnip> skutr: does it work in other apps?
[00:31] <Starminn> foxjazz: I'd suggest picking a language first then going from there. :)
[00:31] <Abinadi> #ubuntu-programmin?  I have no idea
[00:31] <ActionParsnip> foxjazz: the channel specific to the language you want
[00:32] <foxjazz> Starminn, well ubuntu
[00:32] <luite> foxjazz: first decide the best language to use, and then ask in #haskell for more help ;)
[00:32] <skutr> ActionParsnip: no i tried it in the system testing too it didnt work there
[00:32] <ActionParsnip> foxjazz: ubuntu doesn't have a language, per se
[00:32] <ActionParsnip> skutr: did you try sound recorder?
[00:32] <foxjazz> ok laugh all you want
[00:32] <thunkee> btw haskell good choice
[00:32] <IsmAvatar> hey guys, I'm having trouble upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10. During the part where it sets the software channels, it errors with "E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages."
[00:32] <Starminn> As Parsnip said, choose one first. There is no "official language of Ubuntu"
[00:32] <skutr> ActionParsnip: NO
[00:33] <skutr> ActionParsnip: no sorry caps lock
[00:33] <Odaym> i am trying to install Windows ontop of my Ubuntu, to remove ubuntu and install windows, but when i put the CD in, it won't show ANY partitions or drives..any idea? (I know this concerns windows but you guys are helpful)
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> skutr: do, its an open source app so will be much better testing than the proprietary rubbish of skype
[00:33] <HipKat> Evening....
[00:33] <Odaym> hi kat
[00:33] <GuyllFyre> 'evenin
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> skutr: also run: alsamixer     and ensure the mic isn't muted
[00:33] <Viking667> Right. Now I'm back for another bash at Ubuntu...
[00:33] <skutr> ActionParsnip: yeah well i kinda need it to work in skype
[00:33] <HipKat> Anyne wanna help me with what is probably a common MBR problem?
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> Viking667: nice pun :)
[00:34] <IsmAvatar> Odaym: make sure your BIOS listss the hard drive
[00:34] <Viking667> I've got a HD3450 with both heads being used...
[00:34] <foxjazz> in ubuntu what is the best way to manage files on a small screen?
[00:34] <Odaym> where in BIOS does it let you do that, IsmAvatar?
[00:34] <rlankfo> CLI
[00:34] <ActionParsnip> skutr: well you kinda need to work out if its the mic thats bad or if its skype, don't you
[00:34] <Odaym> i know only boot order
[00:34] <ActionParsnip> skutr: its called 'isolating the issue'
[00:34] <thunkee> foxjazz: mc
[00:34] <Viking667> trouble is, the screens are only getting picked up as 60Hz, and there's nothing in the xorg.conf to tell Xorg anything different... like the fact I have two rather useful 15" monitors that do way better.
[00:35] <foxjazz> thunkee, mc?
[00:35] <GuyllFyre> I've got Intel 82G33/G31 Express Integrated video, is there a 3D driver I can install in 10.04 LTS to make OpenGL work?
[00:35] <Viking667> !mc
[00:35] <IsmAvatar> Odaym: depends on the bios. Hunt around. Usually it will be prefixed with some initials of the HD manufacturer. For instance, if you use western digital, it may be labeled WD#####
[00:35] <ActionParsnip> Viking667: you can set refresh rates in xorg.conf and it will play nice
[00:35] <HipKat> Anyone wanan give me a little help with a grub/mbr problem?
[00:35] <foxjazz> Viking667, not mc
[00:35] <skutr> ActionParsnip: no it doesnt work in sound recorder so its definately ubuntu
[00:35] <Viking667> ActionParsnip: under what section? I've only GOT two...
[00:35] <mackdieselx27> @Odaym:  If your drive is there what you could also do is try loading a GParted live CD and see if your partitions show up.
[00:35] <habstinat> Every time I try to install something via apt-get: http://paste.ubuntu.com/568962/ I can't install anything I need. I'm on 10.04, and this is a big issue. I can still compile things from source though.
[00:35] <Starminn> HipKat: Ask more specifically what your question is so people know what they're answering to, please. :)
[00:36] <foxjazz> anyone have a good way to movefiles around in ubuntu?
[00:36] <th0r> foxjazz: mc
[00:36] <Viking667> Section "Screen" and Section "Device" (containing the screen pointer)
[00:36] <IsmAvatar> foxjazz: select them, then drag them
[00:36] <HipKat> kk... Well, the other night idid a HUGE package update.... when I rebooted MBR default was memory test... it's happened before....
[00:36] <drc> Viking667: Ever figure out the Firefox problem?
[00:36] <foxjazz> mc is not english
[00:36] <HipKat>  I used EasyBCD, set win7 as default and now, no GRUB on reboot.....
[00:37] <th0r> foxjazz: funny....I use it all the time in english
[00:37] <HipKat> Booted with LIVECD, but i don't know how to restore the mbr
[00:37] <foxjazz> IsmAvatar, yea select and drag doesn't work too well on a small screen
[00:37] <Viking667> drc: yes... toolkit.networkmanager.disable
[00:37] <skutr> ActionParsnip: what should i do?
[00:37] <Viking667> needed to be set to "true" in my case.
[00:37] <HipKat> btw, back in Windows now....
[00:37] <IsmAvatar> foxjazz: mv
[00:37] <Viking667> HipKat: poor sod.
[00:37] <drc> Viking667: ah...
[00:37] <foxjazz> IsmAvatar, oh you mean command line
[00:37] <a_p3rson> habstinat: try synaptic?
[00:38] <ActionParsnip> skutr: under sound and video, there is sound recorder. Use it and try to record
[00:38] <foxjazz> IsmAvatar, well that means I hae to type the full directory path and all, that's a time waister
[00:38] <HipKat> lol. .I know it's common and I tried a few things I read online, but I get errors, partition not found, etc, but I know it;s still there, obviously
[00:38] <skutr> ActionParsnip: i already did
[00:38] <Viking667> foxjazz: awwww.....
[00:38] <skutr> ActionParsnip: as i said it did not work and the problem is definately ubuntu
[00:38] <IsmAvatar> foxjazz: cd will change to the directory, so you don't have to use the full directory path. Also, if you're moving to vastly different locations, you could try setting up temporary symlinks to save you some typing.
[00:38] <HipKat> Can I just run a reinstall Ubuntu from Live CD without totally losing all my stuff on there?
[00:39] <donoban> hi, I can't set virtual in xorg.conf. I try to use an extra monitor but when I run xrandr it complains virtual size is too small
[00:39] <HipKat> Is there a repair function I'm not seeing on the LiveCD
[00:39] <bazhang> HipKat,have a seperate home partition?
[00:39] <bazhang> HipKat,the recovery mode?
[00:40] <HipKat> I'm not good with partitions, but i have 4. NTFS. Linux, Linux Swap and somethign else that I thin kis just my slave drive
[00:40] <HipKat> btw, I'm a Linux semi-noob
[00:40] <bazhang> !home | HipKat
[00:40] <ActionParsnip> skutr: ok then can you give the URL generated by: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh
[00:40] <IsmAvatar> hey guys, I'm having trouble upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10. During the part where it's "Setting new software channels", it errors with "E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages." and I think it doesn't like one of my packages, but I don't know how to find out which.
[00:40] <Abinadi> ok, that's very wierd...I can play music just fine (and hear it just fine), but just now when I tried to record my voice with sound recorder, I cant hear the playback
[00:40] <ActionParsnip> skutr: select to upload to the site, a red URL will be generated, thanks
[00:41] <Guest40084> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1592062  .. Could someone explain me post #8?
[00:41] <skutr> ActionParsnip: huh?
[00:41] <Abinadi> (and I know my mic is working because it works with skype)
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> IsmAvatar: can you use: http://pastie.org to give the output of: sudo apt-get update
[00:41] <HipKat> Oh, that was my other question,, if I upgrade to 10.10, I assume it will repair the MBR, and I'll stiull have all my settings, etc, right?
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> skutr: its a command for terminal, copy it and paste it to terminal and press ENTER, follow the prompts and give the link
[00:41] <donoban> some idea? Is possible that last ubuntu version ignores /etc/X11/xorg.conf? Maybe another place to put virtual screen size?
[00:42] <IsmAvatar> ActionParsnip: http://pastie.org/1580869
[00:42] <donoban> I'm using fglrx if that helps....
[00:42] <ActionParsnip> IsmAvatar: ok, does: sudo apt-get --reinstall install nano     pass ok?
[00:42] <skutr> ActionParsnip: ok
[00:43] <soreau> donoban: You put virtual size in xorg.conf but check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for messages that it had an error
[00:43] <skutr> ActionParsnip: not sure what  youre talking abou
[00:43] <skutr> abotu
[00:43] <ActionParsnip> donoban: it doesn't ship with one but if you make one it will be obeyed
[00:43] <donoban> some way for doing one automatic ActionParsnip ?
[00:43] <ActionParsnip> skutr: the command i gave you, run it in a terminal, it's that simple. Copy and paste
[00:43] <poss_> oo oo ooo I has another question!  a very easy one this time :)
[00:43] <skutr> ActionParsnip: you didnt give me a command?
[00:43] <ActionParsnip> donoban: you can make a skeletal one in root recovery by running: Xorg -configure
[00:43] <IsmAvatar> ActionParsnip: yes, seems to. http://pastie.org/1580879
[00:44] <ActionParsnip> skutr: 00:40 < ActionParsnip> skutr: ok then can you give the URL generated by: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh
[00:44] <donoban> thx ActionParsnip gonna try..
[00:44] <delac> does anyone know if it is possible to insert image to open office document as url in ubuntu?
[00:44] <habstinat> Hi. This happens every time I try to install something via apt-get: http://paste.ubuntu.com/568962/ I'm on 10.04, and this leaves me unable to install any of Ubuntu's packages. Can someone help out please?
[00:44] <ActionParsnip> skutr: I did
[00:44] <skutr> ActionParsnip: oh lol my bad
[00:44] <poss_> ok so im logged in with a live disc and copying all the old data to an external hard drive, where are all the firefox preferences and bookmarks storede? is it possible to just copy them back into a fresh install?
[00:44] <ActionParsnip> skutr: yep
[00:44] <PetePorty> So guys, I came here earlier and one of you (who is now gone) helped me a lot. After doing all he told me to, I discovered the problem was with my hard drive. So I rund dmsg, here is the result: http://pastebin.com/aB7YeXVu And then I did smartctl http://pastebin.com/ZnGUDTKP . Someone told me that I should seek help here, and that it is probably an error with cabling or drive electronics, but I'd like to know what I should do now. (I'd like a
[00:44] <PetePorty>  lot to avoid buying a new harddrive, to be honest. If it's possible, of course.)
[00:44] <skutr> ActionParsnip: missing url
[00:44] <mackdieselx27> @poss:  ~/.mozilla
[00:45] <donoban> ActionParsnip: I get an error, seems that it tries to start another xorg server
[00:45] <poss_> thankyou mackdieselx27! and can i just copy it back over a fresh install?
[00:45] <mackdieselx27> yup
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> skutr: copy the command I gave and paste it to the terminal, copy it ALL
[00:45] <skutr> i did
[00:45] <poss_> ty :)
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> donoban: thats why you need to reboot to a root recovery console
[00:45] <mackdieselx27> poss:  Be sure to drill through the mozilla directory to look over what you want first.
[00:46] <donoban> ActionParsnip: maybe run init 1?
[00:46] <Viking667> hm. This is weird. what is /proc/kcore supposed to contain?
[00:46] <poss_> oh permission denied
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> skutr: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh
[00:46] <Dead_Storage> ok so i deleted the top panel(in ubuntu) and that had the little wireless icon that let me manage my connections in it, my question is how do i get that back on the new pannel I mad, I dont see it anywhere
[00:46] <Viking667> because it's only 1016Mb, and I have 2Gb of memory.
[00:46] <habstinat> Hi. This happens every time I try to install something via apt-get: http://paste.ubuntu.com/568962/ I'm on 10.04, and this leaves me unable to install any of Ubuntu's packages. Can someone help me out please?
[00:47] <th0r> Dead_Storage: try adding a system tray to the panel
[00:47] <skutr> ActionParsnip: ok
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> donoban: if it kills the x server then fine, you can get a root recovery console by rebooting, holding shift then selecting recovery mode, then root
[00:47] <poss_> actually im getting that a lot, i guess that means i can't just copy the entire drive onto an external drive huh? if i'm not allowed to view it im probably not allowed to copy it
[00:47] <skutr> ActionParsnip: so what did that do?
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> skutr: you get the idea
[00:47] <donoban> ok ActionParsnip thx gonna try
[00:47] <IsmAvatar> ActionParsnip: the nano reinstall ran without incident. nano works.
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> skutr: its a script from the alsa team which gives a LOT of info about the system and the sound setup / libs / settings
[00:47] <HipKat> Ok, let's try something else, using LiveCD, can I boot into MY linux and not the guest user that LiveCD has?
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> IsmAvatar: hmm, weird
[00:47] <Dead_Storage> thats not in the menu for add to panel
[00:47] <mackdieselx27> poss:  Your mozilla directory should be owned by you and is read and writable.  Where you are trying to copy that directory from?   That looks ugly.
[00:48] <ActionParsnip> skutr: you don't need to view the data, and select to upload to the site
[00:48] <PetePorty> Dead_Storage: On another panel, right-click, selecct add-to panel and chose Notification Area
[00:48] <th0r> Dead_Storage: I forget exactly what it is called, Notification Area or some such
[00:48] <skutr> ActionParsnip: yeah thats not going to do anythin
[00:48] <habstinat> Viking667: Got any ideas?
[00:48] <skutr> anything
[00:48] <ActionParsnip> habstinat: what is the output of: lsb_release -d    Thanks
[00:49] <Viking667> habstinat: it's like you've got missing perl modules.
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> skutr: why not?
[00:49] <poss_> live cd, the hard drive failed and gives me a kernel panic on boot, so im on a live cd trying to copy everything onto an external drive
[00:49] <skutr> ActionParsnip: uhh this just uploads data to a website
[00:49] <Dead_Storage> th0r, oh thanks, haha they should call it something like manage connections, that would be a lot more clear
[00:49] <Godslastering> When i log in (even after restarting) about, like, 500 "starting file ***" dialogs pop up... i can't read the rest of what it says, unfortunately, and i don't know why they are coming up. Also, after about 5 minutes, they eventually close
[00:49] <HipKat> I know you guys are gettign hammered with questions, but is it possible to boot my user account wioth liveCD?
[00:49] <Viking667> habstinat: unfortunately, I can't help with this.
[00:50] <PetePorty> Dead_Storage: So it did work?
[00:50] <PetePorty> Good.
[00:50] <th0r> Dead_Storage: there are other things that will show up there besides network-mangler.....pidgin for one
[00:50] <ActionParsnip> skutr: yes, then makes you a link
[00:50] <Dead_Storage> PetePorty, yeah it did
[00:50] <HipKat> Or if I just run the install ubuntu option, will it wipe everything I have now and just reinstall fro mscratch?
[00:50] <mackdieselx27> poss:  You may need to either change the permissions on ~/.mozilla or perform the copy with higher privileges since it's real picky on HDD permissions.
[00:50] <skutr> ActionParsnip: yeah to that data
[00:50] <Dead_Storage> th0r, thats fine, i just eas going for a minimalist theme but i still needed that
[00:50] <habstinat> Viking667: Thanks anyways, and ActionParsnip: I get, "Description:	Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS"
[00:51] <mackdieselx27> poss:  Recursively I might add.
[00:51] <ActionParsnip> skutr: ok then it makes a red hyperlink when it finishes. Give the link here
[00:51] <PetePorty> So.... Anyone thinks they can help me out with my problem?
[00:51] <skutr> ActionParsnip: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=40b490a038e8940b8dc134e5e13c68e5953a7e73
[00:51] <PetePorty> So guys, I came here earlier and one of you (who is now gone) helped me a lot. After doing all he told me to, I discovered the problem was with my hard drive. So I rund dmsg, here is the result: http://pastebin.com/aB7YeXVu And then I did smartctl http://pastebin.com/ZnGUDTKP . Someone told me that I should seek help here, and that it is probably an error with cabling or drive electronics, but I'd like to know what I should do now. (I'd like a
[00:52] <PetePorty>  lot to avoid buying a new harddrive, to be honest. If it's possible, of course.)
[00:52] <ActionParsnip> skutr:
[00:52] <ActionParsnip> skutr: 00:48 < skutr> ActionParsnip: yeah thats not going to do anythin
[00:52] <poss_> yeah im not in a position to change the permissions, since the permissions can only be set by the owner and the live cd is not the owner
[00:52] <ActionParsnip> skutr: so it dod someting, didn't it...?
[00:52] <defkon>
[00:52] <skutr> ActionParsnip: sorry im having a bad day
[00:52] <Godslastering> Also, i have two monitors connected, each with a seperate x server, how do i "move" or "start" an application on the other monitor?
[00:54] <mackdieselx27> poss:  You should be able to override it since you're on the live CD.  Try chowning it (with -R) from the CLI and see if that works out for you.
[00:55] <Viking667> And my last question for the day, or I hope it is...
[00:56] <ActionParsnip> skutr: try:   gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf     and add the line:  options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m4-1     to the bottom, reboot to test. If you get no sound then re-edit and remove the line
[00:56] <PetePorty> Should I assume that I am being ignored; that no one knows how what to do, or that someone is actually reading through my pastebins?
[00:56] <ActionParsnip> skutr: use sound recorder to test
[00:56] <IsmAvatar> ActionParsnip: ok, so what now? I'm happy uninstalling some packages if you think they are in the way.
[00:56] <Viking667> When I boot up the kernel from 10.10 (maverick), one of the screens plugged into my HD3450 flashes every few seconds or so. It doesn't do the same thing with the earlier kernel from 10.04
[00:56] <Viking667> What can be done?
[00:56] <habstinat> ActionParsnip: Not sure if you got my last message, but I get, "Description:	Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS". Thanks.
[00:56] <popkorn> Hi. Trying to get the grub2 menu back. Can someone help interpret the result text from meierfra's boot info script ?
[00:57] <ActionParsnip> skutr: there are a few options you can add to the snd-hda-intel module here, try a few: http://forums.opensuse.org/applications/multimedia/401150-no-sound-rs780-azalia-controller-sbx00-azalia-intel-hda.html
[00:57] <mackdieselx27> poss:  Try this thread as this is another way to copy your stuff.  http://forums.techguy.org/linux-unix/920078-solved-need-permission-copy-files.html
[00:57] <ActionParsnip> habstinat: I saw, I have no other ideas
[00:57] <ActionParsnip> IsmAvatar: I have no idea, are there any bugs logged for it
[00:57] <skutr> ActionParsnip: is there something i can add to this to get my headphones to work?
[00:58] <IsmAvatar> ActionParsnip: dozens, but none of them seem relevant. It seems like a rather wordy and generic error.
[00:58] <skutr> ActionParsnip: ill stick my headphones in and the sound still plays through the speakers
[00:58] <ActionParsnip> IsmAvatar: could try: sudo apt-get --reinstall install debconf
[00:58] <ActionParsnip> IsmAvatar: then its a known issue, I'd keep an eye on the bugs
[00:59] <ActionParsnip> skutr: the options will help that too, you have a weird card which needs options. The link I gave has a few you can try
[00:59] <hylian> for some reason when i log out, it won't let me choose what window manager i want, and when i click on my name, it instantly goes to gnome...
[00:59] <crazybrain> my usb port doesnt work in Maverick
[00:59] <ActionParsnip> skutr: also see if: hda-intel: IRQ timing workaround is activated for card #1.  Maybe someone else can help me out here?
[01:00] <Viking667> it never seems to work, so I gave up and used kdm instead
[01:00] <skutr> ActionParsnip: k
[01:00] <ActionParsnip> crazybrain: do other USB devices work?
[01:00] <IsmAvatar> ActionParsnip: debconf reinstalled without incident.
[01:00] <foxjazz> trying to build an app and it says to download fltk 1.1. where should it go in ubuntu
[01:00] <KB1JWQ> foxjazz: Which app?
[01:00] <Viking667> foxjazz: look for libfltk
[01:00] <ActionParsnip> IsmAvatar: ok cool, try installing irssi like you originally tried
[01:00] <crazybrain> ActionParnship: nope
[01:00] <crazybrain> even whole port is not working
[01:01] <ActionParsnip> crazybrain: is the system a branded PC or laptop?
[01:01] <ActionParsnip> crazybrain: are the USB ports enabled in BIOS?
[01:01] <IsmAvatar> ActionParsnip: irssi? Originally I was just trying to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10.
[01:01] <ActionParsnip> IsmAvatar: sorry, crossed wires
[01:01] <crazybrain> ActionParsnip : all are working in Xp though
[01:01] <hylian> how i can i choose what window manager to use at log in?
[01:01] <Viking667> foxjazz: sudo apt-get install libfltk1.1
[01:02] <ActionParsnip> habstinat: try reinstalling debconf, which the .pm file which is moaning comes from
[01:02] <IsmAvatar> ActionParsnip: I was wondering when you were going to do that :-p you're sure helping a lot of people concurrently
[01:02] <ActionParsnip> crazybrain: ahhh, try disabling the power management of the ports in XP as well as the ability for the port to wake up the system
[01:02] <ActionParsnip> IsmAvatar: its more fun that way
[01:02] <jrib> hylian: there's is a drop down menu at the login screen
[01:03] <Viking667> no ideas about my flickering screen?
[01:03] <jrib> !helpme | Viking667
[01:03] <Viking667> well, it does seem that absolutely nobody knows...
[01:03] <jrib> Viking667: I (and probably lots of others that just joined) have no clue what your issue is.
[01:05] <crazybrain> How to install metasploit in Ubuntu 10.10?
[01:05] <delac> still wondering if it is possible to include  image as url (loads the image when viewed) in open office document in ubuntu 10.4. It certainly is possible with some versions as I have seen them.
[01:06] <ElectricPrism> anyone have any insight as to what types of liceneses they prefer for releasing software under?
[01:06] <ActionParsnip> Viking667: if nobody knows, they won't reply
[01:06] <mackdieselx27> crazybrain:  This should help you out and was the first Google hit.  https://www.metasploit.com/redmine/projects/framework/wiki/Install_Ubuntu
[01:06] <Godslastering> I seem to be stuck in an endless loop of "starting file manager".  When i first log in, about 100 popups about it come up, and about 5 minutes later they all close slowly. then, though, they pop up intermittently and it's using up a lot of my cpu
[01:06] <Abinadi> !ot
[01:06] <ActionParsnip> Viking667: think about it, there are 1000+ users here, do you expect them to all say "no", or similar?
[01:06] <ElectricPrism> wow. really? this is an open source channel.
[01:06] <ActionParsnip> ElectricPrism: indeed it is :)
[01:07] <hypermass> So much activity here.  :)
[01:07] <jrib> ElectricPrism: this channel focuses on ubuntu support.  Try #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:07] <ElectricPrism> jrib: can you reccomend another channel where some devs hang out?
[01:08] <jrib> Godslastering: what ubuntu version is this?
[01:08] <ActionParsnip> ElectricPrism: #programming
[01:08] <ElectricPrism> score, thanks ActionParsnip
[01:09] <Stevezau> i have a usb dvb card that has a inbuilt IR receiver.. which creates a inputX in /dev.. ive got lirc but im gettig double key presses cause its also detected as a kbd.. any ideas how i can tell ubuntu to ignore kdb events from that input device??
[01:09] <Godslastering> jrib: 10.10, just started happening today, i haven't changed anything
[01:09] <jrib> Godslastering: create a fresh new user, see if it still happens
[01:09] <Godslastering> jrib: alright. i'll try and report back
[01:10] <jack_> Godslastering: what did you do? i dont think thats a feature :P heh
[01:10] <coz_> Stevezau,  oo that's a tough one for me... I have no idea,,,and if no one here can answer I would also ask in ##Linux
[01:11] <Stevezau> tried there
[01:11] <coz_> Stevezau,  ooo  ok
[01:11] <coz_> Stevezau,  no luck at all there?
[01:12] <Godslastering> jrib: oddly, logging in as root, then logging back in as me seems to have fixed it, heh
[01:12] <coz_> Stevezau, could be time of day you were in there... try other "reasonable"  times of the day... others log in and log out fairly frequently on most irc channel from different time zones across the globe
[01:12] <th0r> Stevezau: you might look into blacklisting the module
[01:12] <jrib> Godslastering: I see...
[01:12] <popkorn> can anyone help interpret the result text from meierfra's boot info script  ?      http://pastebin.com/fJCQ8Zph  the unknown MBR at the bottom
[01:13] <Stevezau> th0r i cant blacklist it as i still want to use the input for lirc
[01:13] <Stevezau> just not kdb events
[01:13] <Abinadi> ok, has anyone got suggestions on how I can tweak firefox in mavarick...it is excrucatingly slow. (whereas in my windows system (dual-boot) it is lightening fast)  I have a 20mb connection.
[01:14] <bazhang> Abinadi,try chromium see if that is slow as well. might not be firefox
[01:14] <peernet> Good morning :)
[01:14] <JustCJs> elinks?
[01:14] <ActionParsnip> Abinadi: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/speed-up-firefox-web-browser.html
[01:14] <Abinadi> bazhang, done that.  it's as slow as ff
[01:14] <Abinadi> ActionParsnip, thanks
[01:14] <bazhang> Abinadi,then not a browser issue
[01:14] <ActionParsnip> Abinadi: try disabling ipv6 too
[01:15] <ActionParsnip> Abinadi: is downloading your updates ok?
[01:15] <Abinadi> ActionParsnip, I did disable that and it speeded it up slightly.  yes, my downloads are fine.
[01:15] <hipkat> BAck... got he grup to restore form LiveCD, now can someone tell me how to make it so memory test is not the default boot in mbr?
[01:15] <hipkat> *grub
[01:16] <ActionParsnip> Abinadi: do you use a proxy?
[01:16] <poss> wow that link was really confusing
[01:16] <enzo> stupid ms mouse. unplugging and plugging in the adapter corrects the scroll wheel speed
[01:17] <mackdieselx27> poss:  Just do sudo chown -R as shown toward the end of the thread.  Then you should be able to copy over your Firefox profile.
[01:18] <JustCJs> hipkat: change GRUB_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub
[01:18] <poss> except that I don't have the media directories like in the example
[01:19] <JustCJs> to either numeric menu position or entry phrase, after which run update-grub
[01:19] <mackdieselx27> poss:  sudo chown -R root:root /home/yourusername/.mozilla  Then chmod -R 777 /home/yourusername/.mozilla
[01:19] <Slix`> I'm a newbie to Linux and Ubuntu. I got this .rar that I want to extract. It contains an .exe (and I'll want to run it with wine). Where should I extract it to? In Windows, programs go in C:\Program Files\. What's the Ubuntu equivalent?
[01:19] <Abinadi> ActionParsnip, I'm doing these tweaks....but no, I don't use a proxy
[01:19] <ActionParsnip> mackdieselx27: why root?
[01:19] <artur_> lol
[01:19] <poss> mm, but mack I want to copy all of the data on all of the drives onto a single external drive
[01:19] <artur_> from poloand
[01:19] <ActionParsnip> mackdieselx27: 777 is a REALLY bad idea too
[01:19] <ActionParsnip> !pl | artur_
[01:20] <mackdieselx27> Action:  poss is trying to copy over on a live CD from an unaccessible HDD
[01:20] <JustCJs> Slix. ~/.wine/dosdevices/drive_c/Program\ Files/
[01:20] <poss> I was just wondering where the mozilla stuff was so i could restore their bookmarks and such once its all copied back
[01:20] <crazybrain> I am not able to install Metasploit on Ubuntu 10.10
[01:20] <JustCJs> *~./wine/drive_c/Program\ Files
[01:20] <ActionParsnip> mackdieselx27: if you run: gksudo nautilus   you can access what you need
[01:20] <Slix`> Oh, so I'll have to involve wine like that? Alright.
[01:21] <crazybrain> I downloaded metasploit framework-3.5.2.tar.bz2 file
[01:21] <crazybrain> how do i execute it to terminal
[01:21] <IsmAvatar> Slix`: It's a directory. Wine doesn't need to know
[01:21] <mackdieselx27> Action:  Ah didn't think of that
[01:21] <ActionParsnip> crazybrain: http://www.metasploit.com/redmine/projects/framework/wiki/Install_Ubuntu    looks easy enough
[01:21] <poss> ooooo beautiful action!
[01:21] <mackdieselx27> Yup, lot less complicated than the CLI ;)
[01:21] <JustCJs> you can set any wine mountpoint for /
[01:22] <artur_> freedom windows !!!
[01:22] <poss> you guys are the best :)
[01:22] <mackdieselx27> No problem.  Good luck.
[01:23] <poss> one day I'd like to have Actions babies, and we can have little parnsips runnign around everywhere solving the world's problems ;)
[01:23] <hipkat> JustCJs, , sorry was afk, I'm a linux semi-noob, so how do I do that?
[01:24] <JustCJs> hipkat: just open /etc/default/grub in any editor as root and change the value of GRUB_DEFAULT to the numeric position of the desired default entry
[01:24] <ActionParsnip> poss: hehe
[01:25] <hylian> i used to be able to choose my window manager preference at log in, now i can't..
[01:25] <jrib> hylian: why not?
[01:25] <ActionParsnip> hylian: log off, click your username, then it wil be selectable at the bottom
[01:25] <JustCJs> hipkat: afterward you should run update-grub to apply the changes
[01:25] <hylian> jrib, i don't know, please help.
[01:25] <jrib> hylian: what changed?  Are you still using gdm?
[01:26] <hipkat> kkk JustCJs , thx!
[01:26] <hylian> ActionParsnip, no, it won't. that's what i have been doing. it never let's me choose, it goes straight to gnome.
[01:26] <JustCJs> np
[01:26] <jrib> hylian: so you don't even type a password?
[01:26] <hylian> jrib, that i know of, yes.
[01:27] <jrib> hylian: so what happens when you log out like ActionParsnip suggests?
[01:27] <hylian> jrib, currect, i had it set up that way for quick logins.
[01:27] <crazybrain> anyone help me guys
[01:28] <hylian> jrib, it gives me the log in screen, but when i click on my name, instead of asking me for a password like before, now it instantly goes staright to gnome.
[01:29] <soreau> crazybrain: What are you trying to do?
[01:29] <jrib> hylian: disable the auto login or edit ~/.dmrc yourself (I recommend the first one)
[01:29] <hylian> jrib, ill try that... brb
[01:29] <crazybrain> soreau: i am trying to install metasploit in Ubuntu 10.10

[01:35] <crazybrain> whats the command to install from that
[01:35] <Ben__437> Is it possible to hard enter the password and remove the keyring password request dialog box?
[01:35] <hylian> well, that fixed it, thanks... it still boots straight into gnome, but now i can boot to blackbox... strange, i didn't set it that way.
[01:35] <Ben__437> its bloody annoying
[01:35] <bazhang> crazybrain,install from what
[01:35] <soreau> crazybrain: It's all there on the site. If you get stuck, explain what you're trying that isn't working and maybe someone can help
[01:35] <ardchoille> crazybrain: which app is it? Did you check to see if it's in the repos?

[01:36] <crazybrain> Its Metasploit
[01:36] <minimec> Ben__437: You can change the password and leave it blank. It will ask you once again, as you will loose security in some way, but afterwoards you won't see any dialog box again.
[01:36] <joeoshawa> can i have both on at once and force a program to use a certain sound card
[01:36] <bazhang> crazybrain,/join #metasploit

[01:39] <soreau> Ben__437: Always contributes to the experience ;)
[01:39] <Abinadi> ardchoille, wierd.  I'll get the output of that and do another pastebin
[01:39] <Ben__437> yeah

[01:39] <zachera> hi, where is the x86_64 10.4 version of ubuntu desktop available?
[01:40] <soreau> ! download | zachera
[01:40] <ohsix> on the iso mirrors
[01:40] <zachera> yes, i know, but
[01:40] <minimec> Ben__437: remember! Autologin and 'blank' keyring password is bad, as keyring passwords can be made visible in the keyring manager!
[01:40] <zachera> which file...
[01:40] <poss> so copying on the live disc seems to be limited to about 300kbs, is this a restriction of the disc or the usb drive i am copying to?
[01:40] <Ben64> soreau: ?
[01:40] <bazhang> !torrents > zachera
[01:40] <soreau> zachera: Which ever one you want?
[01:41] <ActionParsnip> zachera: sure: http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ubuntu-10.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso   MD5: c19e5139e10df2626055f1d9985856d7
[01:41] <soreau> Ben64: Sorry, it was auto-tab-complete-failure. I was trying for Ben__437
[01:41] <Ben__437> gotcha Minimec. Its my own home machine so we are good :)
[01:41] <Ben64> ah
[01:41] <ardchoille> poss: the system runs faster once installed to a hdd, livecd's run everything in ram
[01:41] <ohsix> and off the casper file on the drive
[01:41] <zachera> i downloaded this one: ubuntu-10.04.2-desktop-i386.iso
[01:41] <aroman> hey, if I want to change a string that appears in a graphical app, would changing /var/lib/dpkg/info/thatapp.templates do the trick?
[01:41] <zachera> and i installed it, etc
[01:42] <Abinadi> ardchoille, here is what I'm getting:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/568981/
[01:42] <ohsix> it runs normal speed off the livecd after a file's been read off the cd :]
[01:42] <zachera> but when i type `uname -m' it says "i686"
[01:42] <u19809> hi all, I need to reinstall my nvidia proprietary driver but i first need to remove it completely. after remove of all nvidia* packages I still seem to get an nvidia module loaded as the dmesg output shows a tainted kernel because of nvidia module
[01:42] <u19809> How can I get rid of nvidia completely ?
[01:42] <ActionParsnip> zachera: then you used the 32bit ISO
[01:42] <zachera> but i need to be seeing "x86_64"
[01:42] <soreau> zachera: Yes, i386/i686 is x86
[01:42] <zachera> ActionParsnip: yes, where do i get the 64bit iso..
[01:42] <ohsix> how do i shot iso
[01:42] <ardchoille> Abinadi: ok, the repos should be isntalled, now do a "sudo apt-get update"
[01:43] <Abinadi> ardchoille, did that already
[01:43] <ActionParsnip> zachera: I just gave the link, or you can use the torrent: http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ubuntu-10.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent
[01:43] <ardchoille> Abinadi: if the package error persists, then that package is not in the repo you added
[01:43] <ActionParsnip> ohsix: define "shot"
[01:43] <zachera> ActionParsnip: but that's for amd, no?
[01:43] <ActionParsnip> zachera: it's for any 64bit CPU
[01:43] <Ben__437> minimec/soreau/ardchoille you guys involved with Ubuntu or just hardcore users?
[01:43] <ardchoille> Abinadi: apt-cache search pulseaudio|grep equalizer
[01:43] <ohsix> zachera: amd64 is a grandfathered name for it in linux; since they were first
[01:43] <zachera> ActionParsnip: but it says amd, lol
[01:43] <zachera> strange..
[01:44] <zachera> ok
[01:44] <JeffiPhone> Greetings, all.
[01:44] <zachera> thanks
[01:44] <Ben__437> Hi JeffiPhone
[01:44] <ardchoille> Ben64: Been using Ubuntu as my sole OS since 2005 and Linux since 2001. I guess I'm a hardcore user :)
[01:44] <Ben__437> :)
[01:44] <soreau> Ben__437: I file bugs, fix some things where I can and complain a lot
[01:44] <ohsix> zachera: practically speaking the x86 and amd64 ports have been merged in the kernel for a long time
[01:44] <JeffiPhone> I've been using Ubuntu since Wednesday!
[01:44] <Ben64> :(
[01:44] <Ben__437> hehe I like it Soreau
[01:44] <Abinadi> ardchoille, I got nothing back...just a blank prompt
[01:45] <ardchoille> Abinadi: then that package is not in the repo you added
[01:45] <minimec> Ben__437: Somehow we are all involved aren't we? Using Linux since 1999...
[01:45] <Ben__437> good stuff JeffiPhone
[01:45] <Ben64> anyone know why a computer would lock up on 10.10 while viewing any flash content?
[01:46] <Blue1> Ben64: 64 bit machine or 32 bit?
[01:46] <aeon-ltd> Ben64: what spec pc?
[01:46] <ardchoille> Ben64: sounds like a video card/driver issue
[01:46] <Abinadi> ardchoille, ugh...then would you have any clue where I can (or how I can access) that pulseaudio EQ (or any EQ for that matter)??
[01:46] <ActionParsnip> zachera: thats because a little while ago amd was the only desktop cpu which was 64bit, and its just stuck
[01:46] <ohsix> Ben64: nvidia driver?
[01:46] <JeffiPhone> But, Linux off and on since I don't remember when... Back when it was harder to get working, that's for sure. Ubuntu just works. It's like the Mac of Linux.
[01:46] <Ben__437> yean Minimec, I come from a redhat background, Web hostin mainly. over the last 3 years been doing windows 2k8 stuff. Ubuntu has been a breath of fresh air...
[01:46] <Ben64> Blue1: 64 bit
[01:46] <soreau> Ben__437: If it's a hard lock, it's usually a driver bug. Could be graphics driver or anything triggered by flash
[01:46] <soreau> erm..
[01:46] <Ben64> aeon-ltd: amd x4, 64 bit, gts250
[01:46] <Blue1> Ben64: would that you be using firefox by chance?
[01:46] <soreau> Ben__437: Sorry, it was auto-tab-complete-failure. I was trying for Ben64
[01:46] <Ben64> ardchoille: it worked with a different cpu/mobo
[01:46] <ardchoille> Abinadi: No, I don't even use sound on my systems
[01:46] <Ben__437> to many Bens hehe
[01:46] <soreau> Ben64: If it's a hard lock, it's usually a driver bug. Could be graphics driver or anything triggered by flash
[01:46] <ohsix> Ben64: are you the guy from yesterday?
[01:47] <Ben64> ohsix: nvidia yes, i know the guy from yesterday, seemed like there is more helpful people around now :)
[01:47] <Blue1> Ben64: i have had issues with firefox in 10.10 64 bit locking up my system with or w/o flash.  opera and chrome work fine, and firefox worked fine in 10.04
[01:47] <Ben64> soreau: but it worked on the same vid card before? and i have a gts250 and am not experiencing that problem
[01:47] <ardchoille> Ben64: hmm. no idea then unless the other mobo/cpu was a lot more powerful
[01:47] <Ben__437> JeffiPhone I know what you mean mate, runs great on my machine. If only I could get COD Modern Warefare 2 to run in wine :)
[01:48] <Abinadi> has anyone used the instructions here: http://exploreubuntu.wordpress.com/2010/04/18/equalizer-for-pulse-audio/ with any success??
[01:48] <Ben64> Blue1: oh, and it crashes in chrome too
[01:48] <Ben64> ardchoille: nope, was an upgrade to amd x4
[01:48] <JeffiPhone> That's what XBox is for, Ben. :D
[01:48] <ActionParsnip> Ben__437: maybe it'll work in Cedega or Crossover office if you have the brass :)
[01:48] <Blue1> Ben64: do yo have the 64 bit flash, or the 32 bit the comes with standard ubuntu?
[01:48] <gryfft> Ubuntu'd laptop is working great, except whenever I logout, clicking on my username just gives me the error sound. Same when I try to click the option to log in as someone else.
[01:48] <Ben64> Blue1: 64 bit
[01:48] <Ben__437> hehe yeah to cheap for an xbox :)
[01:48] <madsailor> Hello All, when I click on Home folder, Documents etc. under the places menu, eye of gnome opens rather than nautilus, and has a message about not being able to find images.  How can I change this back to that the places menu is usable again?
[01:48] <Blue1> Ben64: hmmm
[01:49] <Ben__437> ActionParsnip i'll check em out thanks :)
[01:49] <gryfft> It's set to automatically sign in when I reboot so I can always get back in but logging out leaves me stranded. Weird!
[01:49] <soreau> Ben64: You could be using a different version of the nvidia driver. You can test, if it's the driver by changing the Driver line in /etc/X11/xorg.conf from "nvidia" to "nouveau" then reboot
[01:49] <Ben__437> Time for another beer :)
[01:49] <JeffiPhone> I ran Counter-Strike in wine (very poorly) about 10 years ago.
[01:49] <zachera> thanks all for the support with my 64-bit issue
[01:49] <Blue1> Ben64: by default ubuntu folks use the 32 bit flash even on 64 bit systems, because they refuse to use alpha or beta releases of anything.
[01:49] <Ben64> soreau: how good is noveau?
[01:49] <Ben__437> JeffiPhone CS runs great under wine now
[01:50] <aroman> what does /var/lib/dpkg/info/$app.templates do?
[01:50] <Ben64> Blue1: yeah i know, makes me sad. 64 bit flash works so much better for me
[01:50] <JeffiPhone> With the new systems out now, I bet!
[01:50] <Blue1> Ben64: yes
[01:50] <Ben__437> yeah :)
[01:50] <soreau> Ben64: They have good people working on nouveau but nvidia refuses to cooperate with the open driver devs by releasing hw specs like intel and AMD/Radeon do
[01:50] <Ben__437> So glad spotify has been ported to linux :)
[01:50] <Ben64> soreau: i mean.. does it have 3d support?
[01:50] <JeffiPhone> It was like 2 frames per second back then, but my machine wasn't terribly fast to begin with.
[01:51] <soreau> Ben64: Thus, nouveau may be hit or miss depending on which card you have. Yes, it can do 3D
[01:51] <ardchoille> Abinadi: try doing the "sudo apt-get update" one more try, then try "apt-cache search pulseaudio-equalizer"
[01:51] <ActionParsnip> Ben__437: only if you have a full account :(
[01:51] <Ben__437> JeffiPhone Yeah, My first *nix adventure was 32mb ram, 122mhz cpu and 10GB HD :)
[01:52] <soreau> Ben__437: Isn't spotify the music service that doesn't work in .us?
[01:52] <Ben__437> ActionParsnip yep but its worth the cash
[01:52] <Ben__437> soreau I think they have US licence agreements now so should work. Dont quote me on that tho :P
[01:52] <ardchoille> Abinadi: Did you run "sudo apt-get install update" or "sudo apt-get update"? The latter is the correct one
[01:52] <ActionParsnip> Ben__437: true, looking at the paid account soon (not premium though). I stil use it in wine for free
[01:53] <JeffiPhone> HAHA! My Pentium III (first machine that was all mine) had a 6 gig.
[01:53] <soreau> Ben__437: Hm, I'll have to give it another go sometime
[01:53] <Ben__437> ActionParsnip yeah if you run it on wine you get more, the actual linux verison is missing some minor detail
[01:53] <ActionParsnip> JeffiPhone: my fileserver is a P3, its sweet :)
[01:53] <ActionParsnip> Ben__437: really, whats lacking?
[01:53] <JeffiPhone> It runs PS3 games? Using Ubuntu?
[01:54] <soreau> JeffiPhone: He said P3, not PS3
[01:54] <ActionParsnip> soreau: hahaha
[01:54] <zambaboo> hi guys
[01:54] <soreau> hi zambaboo
[01:54] <zambaboo> how do i find out which module detects my hardware?
[01:55] <soreau> zambaboo: What do you mean? The kernel ultimately 'detects' everything
[01:55] <JeffiPhone> Haha, whoops.
[01:55] <Ben__437> ActionParsnip offline files & full support :( the developers love linux so made a version for themselfs whilst coding so they released an unsupported version
[01:56] <Ben__437> http://www.spotify.com/int/blog/archives/2010/07/12/linux/
[01:56] <Ben__437> :)
[01:56] <misla> zambaboo: hi
[01:56] <JeffiPhone> My P3 was a slot A. Weird.
[01:56] <Abinadi> ardchoille, yes I did.  just a typo
[01:57] <ardchoille> Abinadi: ok. well all I can say is that package is not in that repo.. perhaps it has been deleted and that article isold?
[01:57] <anghellic9> testing
[01:58] <Abinadi> ardchoille, I don't know, how can I tell if its in the repository or not?  search in the synaptics pkg mgr?
[01:59] <ardchoille> Abinadi: well that package seems to be there, but the error you got says otherwise: https://launchpad.net/~psyke83/+archive/ppa
[02:00] <ardchoille> Abinadi: what is the exact update command you used?
[02:00] <madsailor>  when I click on places>Home folder, Places>Documents etc. , eye of gnome opens rather than nautilus, and has a message about not being able to find images.  How can I change this back so that the places menu is usable again?
[02:00] <will> ?

[02:03] <ActionParsnip> Ben__437: booya
[02:03] <Ben__437> ActionParsnip: casha
[02:03] <Ben__437> hehe
[02:03] <Ben__437> Ubuntu community seems to be extremly active comapred to others, very nice experience indeed
[02:04] <ardchoille> Ben64: Best community available, IMHO
[02:04] <ActionParsnip> Ben__437: the projects contribute to multiple distros, so its all good
[02:04] <Ben64> : /
[02:04] <ardchoille> Ben64: sorry about that
[02:04] <Ben__437> ardchoille I agree
[02:04] <Ben64> lol
[02:04] <Ben__437> ardchoille has had a bit to much to drink ;)

[02:06] <ardchoille> Breekzy: Thank you! lol
[02:06] <Breekzy> ardchoille problem solved hehe
[02:06] <ActionParsnip> venkatraman: boot to liveCD, chroot to the installed OS then run: sudo apt-get -f install
[02:07] <Breekzy> ardchoille your name is very hard to spell after 5-6 beers tho :)
[02:07] <ActionParsnip> Jdogg420: http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/install_new_themes
[02:07] <venkatraman> ActionParsnip:  thx let me try that
[02:07] <ActionParsnip> Breekzy: just type ard then press TAB
[02:07] <Breekzy> ActionParsnip ah thats the one :) been off IRC for over 5 years
[02:07] <Abinadi> ardchoille, here it is:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/568990/
[02:08] <ActionParsnip> Breekzy: you'll use tab a LOT in linux ;)
[02:08] <ardchoille> Abinadi: are you running Ubuntu 10.10?
[02:08] <Breekzy> ActionParsnip: Old skool, like to type everything :)
[02:08] <will> there are chinese?
[02:08] <Abinadi> ardchoille, yes I am
[02:08] <ardchoille> !cn | will
[02:09] <ActionParsnip> Breekzy: dude tab completion has been around for AGES in linux
[02:09] <will> ?
[02:09] <ActionParsnip> !cn
[02:10] <Breekzy> ActionParsnip: Yeah also in Windows but never used it :)
[02:10] <will> no one there
[02:10] <ardchoille> Abinadi: ok, try this "apt-cache search -n pulseaudio-equalizer"
[02:10] <ActionParsnip> Breekzy: yeah in XP, not in Win7 though, very weird
[02:10] <madsailor> ActionParsnip, That did the trick.  Thanks for saving me hours of googling frustration :)
[02:10] <ActionParsnip> madsailor: np bro
[02:10] <ardchoille> Abinadi: if that returns nothing, then I don't know what to tell you. There's a problem somewhere and I don't know where
[02:10] <Breekzy> ActionParsnip: I now see how handy it is, thanks for pointin it out buddy :)
[02:11] <Abinadi> ardchoille, all I got was a blank prompt
[02:11] <ardchoille> Abinadi: thought so, that package is no longer there
[02:11] <Abinadi> ugh!!
[02:11]  * Breekzy feels a bit wrong being in #ubuntu wilst building multiple CentOS vps
[02:11] <Breekzy> *** Whilst
[02:11] <ardchoille> Abinadi: which is puzzling because https://launchpad.net/~psyke83/+archive/ppa says it is
[02:11] <Breekzy> damn spelling
[02:11] <Abinadi> ardchoille, I have installed that ppa a dozen times by now.  lol.

[02:13] <will> hello,i am from china
[02:13] <sirsargento> anybody know what the problem may be?
[02:14] <Slix`> Err, is there a Chinese ubuntu channel? #ubuntu-cn ?
[02:14] <Abinadi> ardchoille, well anywayz it was nice of you to try and help.  Thanks!  Time for dinner ;)
[02:14] <Breekzy> hi Will
[02:14] <Ben64> !cn
[02:14] <Bruce_Wayne> will: hello I'm from pandora.. :P
[02:14] <ardchoille> Abinadi: sorry I couldn't do more
[02:14] <Chikokishi> This is pandora!
[02:15] <minimec> Chikokishi: What did you do, after you realized that? Did you logout/login the session again? Did you reboot?
[02:15] <Chikokishi> minimec: I ignored it for the most part because i was in class and muted the sound anyway
[02:15] <Chikokishi> But iv rebooted a few times since then and it still doesnt work
[02:16] <Chikokishi> now im at home where i can work on it
[02:16] <Chikokishi> (and no its not still muted)
[02:16] <misla> Slix`: #ubuntu-cn 你可以进入这个频道，是支持中文的
[02:17] <minimec> Chikokishi: Ok. First thing I would do is to check the properties of your sound applet. Did you suspend or hibernate your machine?
[02:17] <Slix`> misla, Right, thanks, but I was asking for will's benefit.
[02:17] <Chikokishi> nope, just shut down
[02:17] <minimec> Chikokishi: Volume applet...
[02:17] <ardchoille> Abinadi: that article you were following was written before Maverick was released, the package is there, just not available for Maverick. That's the best I can think of
[02:17] <Chikokishi> Where do i check that? I might add iv only been ubuntuing for half a week
[02:17] <Chikokishi> still windows oriniated =/
[02:18] <minimec> Chikokishi: The volume applet in your panel. Go to 'sound preferences'
[02:18] <Chikokishi> im in sound prefs now. is that where i should be?
[02:18] <Chikokishi> okai
[02:18] <will> how can i reply you?
[02:19] <jamiewan> Chikokishi, whats the problem you are having again
[02:19] <Chikokishi> jamiewan, sound suddenly stopped working, i have not changed anythign in my system
[02:19] <aeon-ltd> pci card; s-video in; rj11 in - what could it be?
[02:19] <ActionParsnip> will: just type a users nick and then type, the text you see is what users are typing, the highlighting is done by your client
[02:19] <will> i am a novice
[02:19] <minimec> Chikokishi: yes. Check the output tab. Is the correct sound device activated?
[02:20] <IdleOne> will: if you are wanting to speak with people in chinese please type /join #ubuntu-cn
[02:20] <Chikokishi> "internal audio analog stereo"
[02:20] <jamiewan> Chikokishi, mute?
[02:20] <Chikokishi> seems right to me
[02:20] <Chikokishi> Jamiewan no
[02:21] <minimec> Chikokishi: Start a sound application like rhythmbox, play something and check the Applications tab in the sound preferences. Do you see the Rhythmbox application?
[02:22] <dapeamel> hello guys I go problem I have installed fluxbox on my ubuntu and Im using network manager (wicd) but when Im trying to connecting to a wpa2 It say bad password why?
[02:22] <Chikokishi> yes, its under applications
[02:23] <Breekzy> Considering removing Win7 and keeping Ubuntu, Anyone used VMWare Desktop with Ubuntu ona dual core machine? Need to check performance before taking the leap
[02:23] <ActionParsnip> Breekzy: its fine here
[02:23] <Belphonet76> actionparsnip offline files & full support :( the developers love linux so doesn't that's fine too.
[02:23] <faenor> Belphonet76: GNU/Linux, not linux
[02:23] <ActionParsnip> Belphonet76: how do you mean "full support"?
[02:24] <ElectricPrism>  Freekzy: I used Ubuntu exclusively for a couple months and did that, it worked okay on my Core i7, but I eventually moved back because my RAID 1 mirror was nearly destroyed, if you do it be sure to backup all important data before making the move
[02:24] <Breekzy> ActionParsnip: Thanks :)
[02:25] <jamiewan> Chikokishi, check your hardware tab, and the profile settings there
[02:25] <minimec> Chikokishi: The sound server pulseaudio seems to run correctly. Can you do some 'Hardware tests' in the 'Hardware Tab' (Test Speakers)?
[02:25] <^Phantom^> Do I need to install the on-site virtualbox into ubuntu if I want usb support?
[02:25] <Chikokishi> i just tried the tests, i heard nothing
[02:26] <Jujugoboom> Pox click this link http://bit.ly/hu2Ipk
[02:26] <Jujugoboom> Plz
[02:26] <ActionParsnip> ^Phantom^: you will need to add the virtualbox ppa, or install virtual box 4 from the site for usb access, yes
[02:26] <^Phantom^> ActionParsnip, sweet thanks
[02:26] <Breekzy> another beer is called for :)
[02:26] <^Phantom^> ActionParsnip, I found some old floppies that i compressed with drivespace, so i need windows 98 >_>
[02:26] <minimec> Chikokishi: Tested different profiles?
[02:27] <jamiewan> Chikokishi, what is the hardware profile on?
[02:27] <jamiewan> lol
[02:27] <steff12321> Ok, well i want to set up a BNC, and it keeps telling me that it doesnt have the permission to write in/urr/***
[02:27] <Chikokishi> internal audio
[02:27] <IdleOne> Jujugoboom: Please don't post random links in here
[02:27] <Chikokishi> analog stereo duplex
[02:27] <steff12321>  /usr*
[02:27] <jamiewan> try setting profile to stereo analog duplex
[02:27] <jamiewan> oh
[02:27] <^Phantom^> ActionParsnip, if it isn't too much:  where does virtualbox put the .vdi files in windows?  I really don't want to spend all night installing windows 98 to a VM again
[02:27] <dapeamel> hello guys I go problem I have installed fluxbox on my ubuntu and Im using network manager (wicd) but when Im trying to connecting to a wpa2 It say bad password why?
[02:27] <minimec> Chikokishi: Check 'Analog Stereo Duplex/Output'
[02:28] <jamiewan> Chikokishi, the output tab balance control??
[02:28] <ActionParsnip> ^Phantom^: i have no idea, try searching the file system
[02:28] <^Phantom^> okay
[02:28] <sacarlson> dapeamel: in wicd try another wpa supplicant driver other than wext   try the 82???  driver instead
[02:28] <^Phantom^> thank you
[02:28] <steff12321> how do i gain access to write to /usr through terminal
[02:28] <crazybrain> VIdeo streams very slowly in the Media Player
[02:29] <jamiewan> Chikokishi, connector set to analoge output?
[02:29] <Chikokishi> iv recently installed the compiz extra features pack
[02:29] <Breekzy> ^Phantom^: check under My Documents :)
[02:29] <Chikokishi> might that affect my sound?
[02:29] <ActionParsnip> steff12321: use: sudo -i   and do what you need, then run:  exit   when you are done
[02:29] <jamiewan> no
[02:29] <dapeamel> sacarlson,  would you like to explain more in detail please
[02:29] <^Phantom^> ActionParsnip, i figure since ubuntu actually picks up my drive as being there, i should hopefully be able to mount it to vbox
[02:29] <jamiewan> wouldn't imagine so
[02:29] <bullgard> steff12321: Use the prefix in front of your terminal command.
[02:29] <^Phantom^> if not, i'll go windows side :D
[02:29] <bullgard> steff12321: Use the prefix sudo in front of your terminal command.
[02:30] <sacarlson> dapeamel: wicd>preferences>wpa supplicant drive> NOT wext  pick something else
[02:30] <minimec> Chikokishi: compiz shouldn't affect your sound.
[02:30] <steff12321> bullgard: it doesnt work, i need it for a "make" command
[02:30] <jamiewan> Chikokishi, are you on a laptop or desktop
[02:30] <Chikokishi> minimec i wouldnt think so, but thats all that iv found
[02:30] <steff12321> bullgard: and for a "make install"
[02:30] <Chikokishi> maybe i need to update drivers and such?
[02:30] <Chikokishi> jamiewan laptiop
[02:31] <jamiewan> so your using the on board speakers?
[02:31] <bullgard> steff12321: Ah! You did put an incomplete question here in this channel.
[02:31] <dapeamel> sacarlson,  instead of?
[02:31] <minimec> steff12321: I would always compile in /home/yourname and then only do a 'sudo make install' to install the files in the correct directories.
[02:31] <Chikokishi> jamie yes
[02:31] <steff12321> bullgard: haha, sorry about that, i need to install a BNC, and it sais: Cannot write to *** :permission denied
[02:31] <^Phantom^> ActionParsnip, oh bugger all.  it seems i put my windows 98 vdi on one of my hard drives that is not inside the tower
[02:32] <sacarlson> dapeamel: I don't know the name of the one you should use I only know the one you should NOT use wext,  the one that should work is like 82?? something.  I don't have the wicd installed so I can't see it but as seen here http://wicd.sourceforge.net/screenshot.php
[02:32] <dapeamel> ok
[02:33] <k04n> hey, whats the quickest and easiest way to set up a temporary forwarding, of port X on my local adapter to port Y on a public interface?
[02:33] <bullgard> steff12321: Yes. Please follow the advice of minimec
[02:33] <dapeamel> ty
[02:33] <k04n> in otherwords, i want to let people in, to my port thats on my local adapter
[02:33] <ActionParsnip> k04n: set it up in your router
[02:33] <steff12321> bullgard: thanks
[02:33] <k04n> ActionParsnip: not on router...on the machine...the port isnt even exposed to the ethernet on the machine
[02:34] <minimec> steff12321: Other solution would be to compile in /tmp, if you dont need the source files anymore afterwards. Like that you have less 'chunk' in your /home/yourname directory.
[02:34] <webcoder> i'm running ubuntu 10.10 server (32 bit) and want to setup email that can be used by PHP's mail() function but I can also setup email users for any of the domains hosted on the server... any suggestions or links to tutorials that work
[02:34] <webcoder> i tried following one for postfix and dovecot with mysql but it didn't work
[02:34] <Rdaneel> good night
[02:36] <Rdaneel> guys, by anychance, any of you have problems with flash player? in depth after I watch a video all black background seems to have part of that video,... is it understandable?
[02:36] <bullgard> Can I safely erase the DEB program packages samba and samba-common-bin if I do not want to use Samba any longer?
[02:36] <webcoder> what i really need is an SMTP server that accepts connections from localhost without a login and IMAP where I can setup any email address
[02:37] <webcoder> i tried following this:  http://library.linode.com/email/postfix/dovecot-mysql-ubuntu-10.10-maverick
[02:37] <webcoder> when i went to telnet into postfix to test it just hung
[02:38] <ActionParsnip> Rdaneel: can you used: http://pastie.org and give the output of: uname -a; lsb_release -a; echo; dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf     Thanks
[02:38] <ActionParsnip> bullgard: sure
[02:38] <bullgard> ActionParsnip: Thank you.
[02:38] <subminuentisch> does someone know a site where i can learn how to setup grub
[02:38] <ActionParsnip> bullgard: just use software centre or apt-get and it will be fine
[02:39] <subminuentisch> manually
[02:39] <ActionParsnip> !grub2 | subminuentisch
[02:39] <subminuentisch> thanks
[02:39] <steff12321> ActionParsnip: im pretty sure you dont wanna help out a complete noob (like me), but i wanted to know how i can give terminal permission to write in /usr, i am installing a znc, but their irc channel seems pretty dead
[02:39] <minimec> steff12321: what do you want to compile and why. Isn't there a package for your software in the repositories?
[02:39] <bullgard> ActionParsnip: Synaptic is less suitable for this purpose?
[02:39] <steff12321> minimec: no
[02:40] <ActionParsnip> steff12321: like I said, if you run:  sudo -i    you can do what you need, then run: exit to end
[02:40] <ActionParsnip> bullgard: it's no different
[02:40] <bullgard> ActionParsnip: Ok.
[02:41] <subminuentisch> sry but there is noone in the grubchannel
[02:42] <steff12321> ActionParsnip: is sudo -i its own command, or do i do sudo -i make
[02:42] <steff12321> ??
[02:42] <Rdaneel> ActionParsnip: here you have it: http://pastie.org/1581104
[02:42] <jo-erlend1> is it possible to place a window on two different workspaces, but not the rest? Or is it only possible to choose one or all?
[02:42] <Breekzy> ActionParsnip: very in-demand mate :) speak to you later.
[02:43] <share> How do I make a folder readable 'by others' ?
[02:43] <Chikokishi> What is the terminal command for updating sound drivers?
[02:43] <Breekzy> ActionParsnip: that is you are in demand :) hehe
[02:43] <minimec> steff12321: sudo -i gives you full root access to your system. In my eyes this is not the best solution but it works. After 'sudo -i' you should be able to continue with 'make' 'make install'
[02:44] <steff12321> minimec: thanks
[02:44] <ActionParsnip> Rdaneel: try again. Run: uname -a; lsb_release -a; echo; dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf
[02:44] <jamiewan> share: right click on it and then permissions tab follow that
[02:44] <ohsix> minimec: you can use fakeroot or checkinstall to make a package from something you want to manually installed
[02:44] <share> jamiewan: sorry I mean using the terminal
[02:44] <minimec> steff12321: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=znc&suite=default&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names ???
[02:45] <steff12321> minimec: thats what im doing, you still need to install it ;)
[02:45] <jo-erlend1> share: how to make a folder readable... If a folder is readable, then you can see which files and folders it contains. If that's what you want, then chmod o+r /folder will do. If you want them to see the contents of files in that directory, then you'll need to do chmod o+r /folder/*
[02:46] <minimec> ohsix: Don't talk to me, as I have no problem ;)
[02:46] <ohsix> minimec: just a suggestion for recommendations
[02:46] <steff12321> ohsix: its me that has the problem, but i think its fixed :)
[02:46] <jo-erlend1> share: u is for user, g is for group and o is for others. You can use -R to make the changes apply to subdirectories and their files and folders.
[02:47] <share> jo-erlend1: I am trying to make a folder readable by other user
[02:47] <minimec> steff12321: 'sudo apt get install znc' will install the ubuntu package. On what ubuntu version are you 10.04 or 10.10?
[02:47] <share> chmod o+r didnt work
[02:47] <jo-erlend1> share: should the other user be able to read _files_ in that folder?
[02:47] <share> yes
[02:47] <steff12321> minimec: for me, it doesnt work with apt-get - dont you think i would try that first?
[02:48] <Rdaneel> ActionParsnip: Here it is: http://pastie.org/1581125
[02:48] <jo-erlend1> share: a readable folder only gives you the right to see which files and directories the directory contains. Re-read my previous message. I explained it.
[02:48] <Chikokishi> What is the terminal command for updating sound drivers?
[02:48] <minimec> steff12321: What version of ubuntu?
[02:48] <share> hm
[02:49] <steff12321> minimec: this is what happens, even with the sudo -i command: http://pastebin.com/ksCec4nh
[02:49] <steff12321> minimec: i can paste the whole command if you want
[02:49] <steff12321> minimec: i am running 10.10 on the server
[02:49] <minimec> steff12321: Please... What version of ubuntu are you using?
[02:49] <steff12321> minimec: 10.10
[02:49] <share> jo-erlend1: user A wants to read a folder inside B user home folder :)
[02:50] <sacarlson> share: jo-erlend1:  for others to view files in a folder I think you also need to set chmod o+x /folder/
[02:50] <minimec> steff12321: ok. type 'apt-cache search znc' in a console. What does that give you?
[02:50] <steff12321> wait
[02:50] <share> it worked sacarlson
[02:50] <share> tks
[02:51] <steff12321> minimec: when i do apt-get install, it doesnt work

[02:51] <steff12321> minimec: this gives me a list of znc versions
[02:51] <minimec> steff12321: ok. type 'apt-cache search znc' in a console. What does that give you?
[02:51] <steff12321> minimec: this gives me a list of znc versions
[02:51] <nayn> how can I reset my gnome menu - top panel words have disappeared and I do not know how to get them back - the icons are fine - but the words disappear

[02:52] <minimec> steff12321: So the package is there. now type 'sudo apt-get install znc' in that console.
[02:52] <steff12321> minimec: thank you :)
[02:52]  * steff12321 thinks minimec wants to kill me
[02:52] <minimec> steff12321: Heureka ;)
[02:52] <steff12321> minimec: i ran apt-get install znc
[02:52] <steff12321> minimec: now hwat?
[02:52] <steff12321> what*
[02:52] <ActionParsnip> !info znc
[02:53] <steff12321> brb

[02:54] <MockY> In fstab, how do I escape the ' symbol (apostrophe) when dealing with cifs?
[02:54] <ActionParsnip> share: or use sftp which is active if you install openssh-server
[02:55] <minimec> steff12321: 'znc' is the command!
[02:55] <share> steff12321: thats now what i want to do. stop guessing :(
[02:55] <share> ActionParsnip: yes this is related with ssh sv
[02:55] <Rdaneel> woops!
[02:55] <share> ActionParsnip: permission problems
[02:55] <steff12321> share: sudo apt-get install ftp | its overall, the easiest thing, and if you do it on another user, then you wont have to worry about that person accessing your files

[03:32] <ActionParsnip> faenor: you said earlier, considering the target audience of Ubuntu I think the phrasing is understood
[03:33] <webcoder> i did service sendmail stop and tried to start postfix but it didn't stop it either
[03:33] <roygbiv> webcoder maybe stop sendmail first then purge
[03:33] <webcoder> roygbiv: i'll give it a shot
[03:33] <ActionParsnip> faenor: the invention of language is to convey a message. If the message is sent and recieved and equally understood on both ends then the laguage used in the middle is moot
[03:33] <ershad> ohsix, it's ok, i will try to fix, thanks :)
[03:33] <roygbiv> webcoder use good ol brute force and start killing processes
[03:34] <ohsix> faenor: what's a GNU/Linux
[03:34] <ActionParsnip> faenor: I have far better things than satisfy something that trivial when I can be helping users. I've been using Linux long enough to understand the difference but in the context of support I think everyone knows what everyone else means, just like you did.
[03:35] <overclucker> faenor: You a stallmanite?
[03:35] <webcoder> roygbiv: excellent... killed sendmail and postfix finally starts up
[03:35] <webcoder> roygbiv: any idea how to get rid of sendmail now? :)
[03:36] <roygbiv> try the purge now that the daemons have quit
[03:36] <webcoder> roygbiv: i did... i get No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.
[03:37] <webcoder> delete /etc/init.d/sendmail ?

[03:37] <roygbiv> oh, that'll stop it from running on boot yes
[03:37] <roygbiv> but it doesn't delete the software
[03:37] <webcoder> roygbiv: ya know what?  i think i'm ok with that. :)
[03:37] <roygbiv> easy enough ;)

[03:41] <ohsix> cause issues ;]
[03:41] <ohsix> be sure to report issues; so they can be fixed

[03:44] <jack_> durando: reboot? are you unable to mount it manually?
[03:44] <ActionParsnip> durando: is the system a branded laptop or PC or is it a USB card reader?
[03:44] <Diamondcite> durando: So the SD card is your extended storage? Or just for getting picture off something like a camera?
[03:44] <durando> ActionParsnip: its hp branded into the notebook
[03:44] <jack_> durando: GNOME handles the automounting of cdcards
[03:44] <ActionParsnip> durando: what model
[03:44] <jack_> sd*
[03:44] <durando> i could more than likely mount manually if i knew
[03:44] <durando> ActionParsnip:  the notebook or the reader?
[03:45] <ActionParsnip> durando: the notebook
[03:45] <durando> hang on not sure
[03:45] <steff12321> im back :)
[03:45] <steff12321> i need to know how to load modules into znc
[03:45] <ActionParsnip> durando: its massively important to mention the model. You should do that in subsequent questions
[03:45] <durando> is there a place in ubuntu that woudl tell me or do i have to tip the notebook try and read model
[03:45] <steff12321> anyone here have ANY experience with znc?
[03:46] <durando> dv4 is the model
[03:46] <Diamondcite> durando: It should usually be on the bottom of the notebook, there should be a stick with lots of words, one of those being "Model"
[03:46] <Diamondcite> durando: dv4 is more like a series of notebooks, but it helps a bit ^_^
[03:46] <ActionParsnip> durando: ok, remeber to add that next time
[03:46] <Kentrel> Hi, when I do a "tcpdump -i eth0" after rebooting I notice a lot of connections, even though I'm not running anything. Does that command also show connection attempts, by bittorrent users, etc?
[03:46] <jack_> Why does the model matter? Out of curiousity.
[03:47] <Kentrel> not connections, but packets I guess
[03:47] <jack_> Kentrel: tcpdump shows packets in and out of your interface
[03:47] <interpol> yes
[03:47] <afuentes> Why the first part in ~/.ssh/known_hosts is not human redable? is not suppose to be the machines ip? ive got 3 machines with ubuntu and all of them are full of nonsense characters
[03:47] <interpol> yes, packets in fact, tcpdump...
[03:47] <ActionParsnip> durando: can you give a pastebin of the output of: lsusb
[03:47] <Diamondcite> jack_: For branded systems it helps us know if there is unit specific issues which might creep up and speeds up the problem solving.
[03:47] <Kentrel> jack, so I can be constantly bombarded with packets, but they're not actual connections? Does that slow my system down
[03:47] <interpol> else: do netstat -anpvlt
[03:47] <jack_> afuentes: i believe they are encrypted
[03:47] <durando> dv4-2145dx
[03:48] <durando> sure
[03:48] <afuentes> so jack_ how am i suppose to read that file?
[03:48] <jack_> Kentrel: what connects are they?
[03:48] <Kentrel> jack, they're mostly to do with the port that I last ran bittorrent on
[03:48] <jack_> afuentes: you're not. it contains the encrypted keys of your machines
[03:48] <jack_> Kentrel: thats on a fresh boot?
[03:48] <ohsix> it's _encoded_
[03:48] <Kentrel> jack, yes
[03:49] <durando> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/ZrGfkha7
[03:49] <jack_> those are packets. im not sure if it shows packets that are not accepted
[03:49] <ohsix> Kentrel: people will keep trying to connect until they check the tracker again and see you're no longer on it
[03:49] <jack_> eeeh i dont know why t
[03:49] <jack_> 'those are pakcets' showed up
[03:49] <ActionParsnip> durando: ok, and:  lspci    Thanks
[03:50] <ohsix> some trackers have announce intervals as high as 40 minutes
[03:50] <Kentrel> Will those packets slow my system down, because sometimes I swear my internet connection becomes slow if I've been seeding, and then switch off Vuze
[03:50] <durando> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/bckfrEGi
[03:50] <ruan> Kentrel: you can limit the seeding rate
[03:50] <jack_> I just setup a tcpdump on my machine monitoring port 23 and tried to connect. i get a connection refused and no packets show up on the tcpdump
[03:50] <Diamondcite> Kentrel: Generally a connection would slow down if you upload too much, but those residual connections should not hurt
[03:51] <ohsix> Kentrel: your isp might be doing the slowing down when it sees bittorrent traffic, even a thousand connections a second to a port that is closed uses very little resources
[03:51] <ActionParsnip> durando: ok it's a JMicron Technology SD card reader
[03:51] <interpol> get the source of tcpdump and read it ;)
[03:51] <Kentrel> ah, I see
[03:51] <ohsix> Kentrel: if you want to see how often your network card is waking up your computermachine, itop can show it
[03:52] <ActionParsnip> durando: possible fixes here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/258446
[03:53] <afuentes> jack_, so is there no way to tell what machines those keys belong to?
[03:53] <steff12321> Kentrel: if you wanna solve basically all of your bittorrent problems, my suggestion is, get a seedboc
[03:55] <ActionParsnip> steff12321: not if the ISP is doing what ohsix said
[03:56] <steff12321> ActionParsnip: yeah, but the seedbox will definitely help him get better speeds, and, im guessing his ISP also throttles the BT connection
[03:57] <bob_> hi everyone!
[03:57] <steff12321> hi
[03:58] <ActionParsnip> steff12321: so any system running standard torrent protocol will be hit, seedbox or not
[03:58] <bob_> I've downloaded ZendStudio-8.0.0-x86.tar.gz for ubuntu. how should I install it?
[03:59] <steff12321> ActionParsnip: external seedbox; not from his network, he gets the files via ftp
[04:00] <ActionParsnip> steff12321: freaky
[04:00] <MockY> In fstab, how do I escape the ' symbol (apostrophe) when dealing with cifs? One of the Windows shares I need to mount has an apostrophe in its name.
[04:00] <jack_> durando: does the problem only occur with the sdcard? what about usb thumbdrives? same issue?
[04:00] <durando> jack_: i dont have a usb stick
[04:00] <durando> in fact i only have this sd card as part of the new rules at work
[04:00] <jack_> do you have any other type of storage? how about a cd. does that get mounted automagically?
[04:00] <durando> god i hate life
[04:00] <Diamondcite> durando: What is needed for the SD card? do you need to remove it often?
[04:00] <ohsix> durando: does the card reader show up in lsusb
[04:00] <ruan> Kentrel: also, you can use torrent encryption if you suspect your isp is slowing you down, this will hide bittorrent traffic
[04:00] <Diamondcite> ohsix: It shows according to ActionParsnip.
[04:00] <durando> Diamondcite: yeah its gotta be removed every day and put in the safe at work
[04:00] <ohsix> ruan: not quite, at least for the type of throttling that slows your whole line down if you're doing it
[04:00] <Diamondcite> durando: Do you unmount before removing it? (not eject)
[04:00] <durando> Diamondcite: after we figure out this issue of getting it to mount correctly i also need to figure out a way to encrypt it
[04:00] <ohsix> ruan: and if you allow incoming connections that aren't encrypted the isp can still identify that the port is being used for bittorrent traffic
[04:00] <durando> Diamondcite: i haven't dont it yet like i said just got it
[04:00] <ruan> ohsix: you can force incoming connections to be encrypted too
[04:00] <Diamondcite> durando: Well truecrypt might help you with encryption needs (I don't know how to use it yet)
[04:00] <ohsix> ruan: you can, but you can't force what other clients do
[04:00] <ruan> ohsix: it rejects non-encrypted traffic, i've experienced that
[04:00] <Diamondcite> durando: Part of manual mounting.. when an sd card is inserted... it should create a new /dev/sd* device...
[04:00] <ohsix> that's all well and good; but the traffic can still be identified by what had been sent before and shortly after the connection is closed on the receiving end
[04:00] <durando> i thought these things were supposed to auto mount?
[04:00] <durando> it mounted when i rebooted
[04:00] <ruan> that might be encrypted too
[04:00] <ohsix> durando: they are
[04:00] <Diamondcite> durando: boots mounts everything it sees, how ever, since the card isn't insert as a fresh USB drive, the automount might mis-detect
[04:00] <Diamondcite> (Did a server just die?)
[04:00] <ruan> though i think connections are opened with encryption
[04:00] <ohsix> Diamondcite: not quite, udisks knows about drives with removable media; and that's how card readers show up, unless they're weird and disappear alltogether when a card isn't in it, or something weirder
[04:00] <ruan> so they wont close without it
[04:00] <ohsix> heh
[04:00] <durando> do how do we fix?
[04:00] <steff12321> ActionParsnip: you should look into it, you want the link?
[04:00] <ohsix> ruan: only way to know if an incoming connection is encrypted is to accept it and read some of it
[04:00] <ruan> ohsix: true
[04:00] <steff12321> what was that?
[04:00] <Flannel> !netsplit
[04:01] <jack_> people get banned at netsplit? weird
[04:02] <linuxrules> wtf?
[04:02] <LinuxNoob> i cant even look at that link, because of the errors on my screen, i have no idea if it is drivers, or what.. i have tried everything.
[04:02] <Abinadi> ok, I've asked this question in #vbox and there is noone (active) to answer the question, so I thought I'd try here:  Has anyone used maverick (or any flavor of ubuntu) as a host OS and used VirtualBox and windows as the guest OS?
[04:02] <LinuxNoob> i do
[04:02] <ActionParsnip> Abinadi: I'm sure many have
[04:03] <steff12321> ActionParsnip: you want the link to a cheap, good seedbox?
[04:03] <jrgill> ok, why is ubuntu livecd saying it can't find a cd-rom drive?  it's obviously reading from the drive.
[04:03] <ohsix> from the other side of the networks perspective we were flooding by the time the sync finished :]
[04:03] <LinuxNoob> i use winvista for sc2 lol, only reason. and to test certain..files.
[04:03] <Abinadi> ok great...... Has anyone tried to do an upgrade of the guest OS
[04:03] <ActionParsnip> steff12321: my downloads are held back too 300k/s down. I'm in no hurry. Downloads trickle down and keep web access fast :)
[04:03] <LinuxNoob> hmm..no
[04:03] <jack_> jrgill: is it? i dont think the live environment reads from cdrom. it reads from memory
[04:03] <LinuxNoob> the os in the VM?
[04:04] <ActionParsnip> Abinadi: why not ask the main question you have, you'll get an answer faster
[04:04] <steff12321> ActionParsnip: REALLY? is that all the internet, or just BT
[04:04] <LinuxNoob> just delete it and fresh install of new os..
[04:04] <ActionParsnip> steff12321: that's all I give it
[04:04] <jrgill> jack_: what does it do, copy everything to memory when i boot and then it reads that?
[04:04] <jack_> jrgill: try taking the cdrom out of the tray and see if it continues to work :P
[04:04] <jrgill> yeah
[04:04] <Abinadi> LinuxNoob, yes the windows OS is in a VIrtualBox and I'm trying to figure out how to do an upgrade
[04:04] <steff12321> ActionParsnip: so it doesnt drag down your whole internet speed?
[04:05] <bio__> I can't believe I'm asking this but I'm having some trouble getting javascript or HTML5 to work on local files in Ubuntu.  HTML renders but nothing from HTML5 or javascript this goes for Chromium and Firefox.
[04:05] <jrgill> well i know it copied from the cd drive but i guess thats at a lower level
[04:05] <ohsix> Flannel: thanks
[04:05] <LinuxNoob> just do a clean install of the new OS on ur vm, delete ur old OS.
[04:05] <Diamondcite> testing 123...
[04:05] <Flannel> Diamondcite: Thanks :)
[04:05] <steff12321> ActionParsnip: with this seedbox, you can stram the videos from the box, so you dont need to download them, which i find a pretty good feature
[04:05] <ohsix> bio__: the file probably has the wrong mime type
[04:05] <ActionParsnip> steff12321: its all it needs really, I have a schedule between 4am and 8am to use 100% speed
[04:05] <bob_> I used sudo install ZendStudio-8.0.0-x86.tar.gz install/path. this extracted files there but the executaion file does not run.
[04:05] <steff12321> ActionParsnip: and for only $14.95/mo at 100Mbit, its a pretty good deal
[04:05] <ActionParsnip> steff12321: I have a filesever on LAN with my stuff
[04:05] <jack_> jrgill: what're you trying to do?
[04:05] <steff12321> ActionParsnip: 100GB storage and UL BW, and UL torrents
[04:06] <ActionParsnip> steff12321: I pay 0 per month and get gigabit speed...
[04:06] <steff12321> ActionParsnip: you wanna send me some :)
[04:06] <asustek> #debian
[04:06] <bio__> I'll check, thanks ohsix
[04:06] <ActionParsnip> steff12321: send what?
[04:07] <asustek> ?#debian
[04:07] <Diamondcite> steff12321: Why not do it from your home if you don't have a data transfer limit?
[04:07] <jrgill> well i have a laptop cd drive.  i guess its sata.  do i need a special flag when booting the live cd?
[04:07] <ActionParsnip> asustek: try:  /join #debian
[04:07] <steff12321> Diamondcite: i have an 80gb/mo BW cap
[04:08] <jrgill> jack_: trying to boot the live cd
[04:08] <steff12321> Diamondcite: plus i have only 15 Mbps
[04:08] <jack_> jrgill: ? are you not able to get into the live environmetn at all?
[04:08] <^Phantom2^> What all distros of linux will run/run well on 192MB of ram or less?
[04:08] <faenor> ^Phantom2^: GNU/Linux, not linux
[04:08] <steff12321> Diamondcite: and i need to seed too (on private trackers)
[04:08] <jack_> how far do you get?
[04:08] <jack_> jrgill: ^
[04:08] <slie> who all here has moved totally to grub2?
[04:08] <ohsix> steff12321: seed to a machine on the lan ;]
[04:08] <ActionParsnip> steff12321: what do you want me to send you exactly?
[04:08] <asustek> ActionParsnip: lol ty
[04:08] <ActionParsnip> slie: i have
[04:08] <steff12321> ActionParsnip: where do you get that speed, the fastest thats avaliable in canada is 100 for @150/mo
[04:08] <ActionParsnip> asustek: np :)
[04:09] <ActionParsnip> steff12321: it's my home lan...
[04:09] <steff12321> ActionParsnip: whats your internet speed then?
[04:09] <aroman> hey guys, does anyone have any idea how to customize a text string in ubiquity?
[04:09] <jack_> ActionParsnip: when you say home lan are you talking about like... a hop being your router and thats it? ;P
[04:09] <ActionParsnip> steff12321: 8Mb
[04:09] <slie> ActionParsnip, you like it better?
[04:09] <steff12321> ohsix: they can notice cheating, trust me, i am a mod at a BT site
[04:09] <ActionParsnip> jack_: yeah, system, router, server
[04:10] <bob_> can you show me some commands to install an app from a local source?
[04:10] <ActionParsnip> slie: doesnt matter me any, I don't dual boot
[04:10] <jrgill> jack_: can't get into the environment at all.  failing to load the cd drive seems to halt the process.
[04:10] <ohsix> steff12321: no they can't, unless you're the only one in the peers for the one torrent and they're the uploader
[04:10] <jack_> jrgill: so you've set the machine to boot from cdrom but it fails to boot? the machine halts?
[04:10] <ohsix> steff12321: plus you can stop registering downloads at all by not contacting the tracker after the initial scrape
[04:11] <ohsix> steff12321: or you can not scrape at all and get peers from somewhere else
[04:11] <jrgill> jack_: it brings me to a wizard to select keyboard, language, etc, and then it says it cannot detect the cd drive and asks me to specify some modules via floppy.
[04:11] <ActionParsnip> jack_: does it stop at a black screen?
[04:11] <jack_> jrgill: i see. is it hte newest version of ubuntu? it sounds like the drivers for hte cdrom arent able to be loaded
[04:11] <ActionParsnip> jack_: www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html - Cached
[04:11] <ohsix> steff12321: trust me i know it's all bullshit built on top of 2 numbers that the torrent client happens to send to the tracker ;]
[04:11] <jack_> ActionParsnip: wat. i have no black screen issues. :P
[04:12] <jrgill> jack_: it's old: 5.04
[04:12] <steff12321> ohsix: i meant if you seed to a local machine, but still, u could always use RM
[04:12] <jack_> jrdnyquist: why are you using 5.04???
[04:12] <jack_> jrgill: ^
[04:12] <jack_> jrdnyquist: unping.
[04:12] <jrgill> ?
[04:12] <jrgill> oh
[04:12] <h00k> !language | ohsix
[04:12] <ohsix> steff12321: RM is detectable, any given torrent client is not
[04:12] <jrgill> i ordered a bunch of those free CDs back when they were doing that
[04:12] <jack_> jrgill: 5.04 is 6 years old.
[04:13] <asustek> i wonder if it is a southbridge (ide controller) problem because on a windows 7 install it hangs on extracting files?
[04:13] <ohsix> steff12321: you need to do hardcore statistical tests on the peer data to even tell if more bandwidth is going one way than the other, and even then with more than 2 people you can't tell who's doing it definitively
[04:13] <jrgill> lmao
[04:13] <ohsix> steff12321: AND that same client could also be downloading, and uploading very slow, to stay in the noise
[04:14] <steff12321> ohsix: tu she
[04:14] <steff12321> ohsix: tu shae*
[04:14] <ohsix> it's really all down to who's on the torrent and how low key you want to be, but if you're just uploading you can find a popular torrent with 20+ people on it and just do it there
[04:14] <jack_> jrgill: try using 10.10 or 10.04. they'll probably work. new releases are out every 6 months making your copy 12 releases behind.
[04:14] <ohsix> steff12321: touche' :D
[04:15] <steff12321> ohsix:  :)
[04:15] <jack_> jrgill: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ubuntu_releases#Ubuntu_5.04_.28Hoary_Hedgehog.29
[04:15] <ruan> lol
[04:15] <ohsix> steff12321: what site btw?
[04:15] <frybye> Hi - how do I get the messed-up non-sorted kontacts on ubuntu one to be properly useable in evoloution (with 10.10?)
[04:16] <svelte> hey, can anyone help me out? grub isn't working and I have no idea what to do (didn't just install windows partition)
[04:16] <steff12321> ohsix: dispersethe.net
[04:16] <jack_> svelte: what is grub doing?
[04:16] <ruan> svelte: what happens at boot?
[04:16] <svelte> just hangs right after bios
[04:16] <steff12321> ohsix: new site, just made last sept
[04:16] <ohsix> steff12321: neat
[04:16] <NooBoontoo> Ok, so everytime i login Ubuntu I have to change permissions on nvidia0 and nvidiactl and change my screen resolution, how can i just login and automatically work
[04:16] <svelte> blinking cursor, no grub indication
[04:16] <jack_> svelte: perhaps it cannot read your mbr. boot up with livecd and re-install it
[04:16] <ruan> svelte: is the grub drive set to boot priority #1?
[04:17] <svelte> yes, it is
[04:17] <ohsix> steff12321: do the world a favor and be a good mod, the numbers can be completely faked and are meaningless, don't let it fit into your decisions :]
[04:17] <ActionParsnip> svelte: www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html - Cached
[04:17] <steff12321> ohsix:  you should join :)
[04:17] <jack_> NooBoontoo: what ar eyou changing hte permissions to?
[04:17] <ruan> svelte: it could choose any drive
[04:17] <ruan> svelte: it did that with me, installed grub on other drive
[04:17] <svelte> I have 10.10
[04:17] <NooBoontoo> jack_ so I can use Blender
[04:17] <steff12321> ohsix: we actually have no cheaters atm, and a small database of only 1500 people,
[04:17] <svelte> but my livecd is 9.04
[04:17] <ActionParsnip> svelte: it will work in either
[04:17] <svelte> is that fine?
[04:17] <jack_> NooBoontoo: not why. what are you changing the permissions to? and from what?
[04:18] <ohsix> steff12321: there aren't any cheaters when you can't trust the information you use, that's my point
[04:18] <ruan> svelte: do you have only one hard drive?
[04:18] <svelte> it's not a graphics card problem
[04:18] <jack_> NooBoontoo: are you using nvidia's propriatry drivers? or hte open source ubuntu drivers?
[04:18] <svelte> yeah, only one, but I have multiple partitions
[04:18] <jack_> svelte: get into livecd and reinstall it
[04:18] <NooBoontoo> jack, Nvidia's
[04:18] <svelte> I'm in it
[04:18] <svelte> looking at my grub partition right now
[04:18] <slie> D-punch
[04:18] <jack_> NooBoontoo: are you able to execute the nvidia config utility?
[04:19] <webcoder> ugh... i'm about to pull my last hair out.  postfix with dovecot and mysql... dovecot is working fine... postfix just keeps bouncing every email
[04:19] <ruan> svelte: the grub partition has to be accessible or else it wont boot.. i learned that the hard way
[04:19] <steff12321> ohsix:  you should apply to be a mod there, applications are closing soon
[04:19] <ohsix> steff12321: statistical methods can detect the maximum bandwidth you've seen from a given user on a given ip address or network; when it exceeds that after you have a really solid baseline by an order of magnitude, you can at least ask them to prove the upload speed of their line
[04:19] <svelte> ruan, what could have caused it to break so suddenly though?
[04:19] <svelte> I haven't changed any settings at all since my last reboot
[04:19] <steff12321> ohsix: i just look for radical jumps in BW usage of the tracker
[04:19] <ActionParsnip> NooBoontoo: try: sudo nvidia-xconfig; gksudo nvidia-settings     setup the display then click 'save to x config file'   should be ok
[04:19] <ruan> svelte: not sure
[04:19] <steff12321> ohsix:  then look at the new user's UL bw
[04:20] <ohsix> steff12321: by asking them to send you a file from that address, nothing else is provable; but you will identify real cheaters that way, they'll just have made a huge mistake
[04:20] <jack_> the grub partition? grub is installed in the mbr on the disk and then reads from /boot i believe.
[04:20] <steff12321> ohsix:  thats a pretty good method :)
[04:20] <NooBoontoo> ActionParnsip: Well, yeah, I always save the new configuration as root, but everytime i login is the same
[04:20] <svelte> right, meant boot sorry
[04:21] <ohsix> steff12321: science!
[04:21] <ActionParsnip> NooBoontoo: strange, does /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[04:21] <jack_> NooBoontoo: you are using the nvidia utility? those options should be set to your xorg file and pull up at boot time.
[04:21] <svelte> so how would I go about reinstalling grub?
[04:22] <svelte> and will I lose access to my xp partition?
[04:22] <jack_> svelte: im not too sure about grub2 but i think there are forum posts about it online
[04:22] <jack_> svelte: you shouldn't
[04:22] <jack_> you can probe it
[04:22] <jrgill> i should be able to work on this tv w/ some modelines in x via livecd right?
[04:22] <ruan> svelte: you could possibly google "reinstall grub"
[04:22] <jrgill> its just vga
[04:22] <sacarlson> svelte: you could try this http://paste.ubuntu.com/562593/
[04:22] <jack_> svelte: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling GRUB 2
[04:23] <jack_> svelte: follow the 'reinstalling grub from livecd'
[04:23] <frybye> try again: how to get the unsorted contacts on ubuntu one sorted into evoloution so as to be useable?
[04:23] <svelte> ruan, I really just wanted to make sure that there's no difference between the grub on 9.04 (which is the livecd) and 10.10
[04:23] <NooBoontoo> ActionParsnip,  I have like Xorg.log.old  thru Xorg.log5.5.old files and filesafe files and a Xorg.99.log file, Why do I have all of those?
[04:23] <[core]> svelte: update-grub2
[04:23] <jack_> svelte: there is a grub1 and a grub2 that was a recent switch. im not sure when the switch occured
[04:23] <costas> hello again, just fixed my Ubuntu studio amd64 sound, via oss, alsa driver doesn't seem to work with Delta 1010 -in case you were wondering...
[04:23] <ruan> svelte: it receives it from internet i think
[04:23] <jack_> NooBoontoo: they're rotated files
[04:24] <svelte> and I can do this from a livecd? just reinstall grub on /boot?
[04:24] <NooBoontoo> jack_,  What can i do then?
[04:25] <jack_> NooBoontoo: can you walk me thorugh the process you use to set your resolution?
[04:25] <sacarlson> svelte: I tested my one liner grub2 reinstall with virtualbox yestarday with: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt; sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda
[04:25] <costas> svelte, there's a tutorial about grub2, it's easy
[04:25] <jack_> svelte: there is a section called 'how to do this from livecd' just read it. follow the directions. its all there
[04:25] <svelte> 'kay, thanks guys
[04:26] <^Phantom2^> What is 'dang small linux" 's irc room?
[04:26] <faenor> ^Phantom2^: GNU/Linux, not linux
[04:26] <jack_> svelte: if you're running 10.10 i would suggest downloading a 10.10 live cd, although it may not be neccessary
[04:26] <NooBoontoo> jack_,  sudo bash, nvidia-settings, (set it up) , save file,
[04:26] <[core]> svelte: i guess so. also try what sacarlson said it should work
[04:26] <jack_> NooBoontoo: one second. let me vnc into my box that uses nvidia drivers
[04:26] <^Phantom2^> faenor: hmm?
[04:26] <frybye> forget my ? - just noticed that here on this pc i can still search and find adds that i need even when they are not sorted.. did not work elsewhere for some reason .. have a nice day...
[04:26] <Graet|> faenor is a bot
[04:27] <Graet|> linux
[04:27] <faenor> Graet|: GNU/Linux, not linux
[04:27] <jack_> NooBoontoo: try doing it this way
[04:27] <ruan> lol
[04:27] <ohsix> faenor: is that a script?
[04:27] <faenor> no
[04:27] <ohsix> linux
[04:27] <faenor> ohsix: GNU/Linux, not linux
[04:27] <ohsix> haha
[04:27] <ohsix> linux
[04:27] <faenor> ohsix: GNU/Linux, not linux

[04:27] <faenor> ruan: GNU/Linux, not linux
[04:27] <ohsix> linux
[04:27] <faenor> ohsix: GNU/Linux, not linux
[04:27] <ruan> GNU/Linux
[04:27] <jack_> NooBoontoo: `sudo nvidia-setttings`, *set resolution*, click Save to my X config file. Click Apply.
[04:27] <costas> don't mess with the bots, they don't feed them well... 8-D
[04:27] <ohsix> faenor: what's GNU/Linux?
[04:28] <jack_> NooBoontoo: let me know if that sets your resolution correctly and we'll go forward from there
[04:28] <NooBoontoo> jack_,  Since  was using a Blender build that needed powerful code, I had to install Nvidia .run files, but I think that has been before the installation
[04:28] <jack_> NooBoontoo: i dont know what that means, but yes. the nvidia drivers are done through a script
[04:28] <costas> ohsix, you are messing with the bot? GNU/ Linux is the mother of all free OSes...
[04:28] <NooBoontoo> jack_ , well, yeah, that part works fine, but the problem is after the next login, where all is back to its messy state
[04:29] <ohsix> whats a linux gnu
[04:29] <faenor> ohsix: GNU/Linux, not linux
[04:29] <Graet|> a gnu is a herd animal
[04:29] <costas> hahahahaha
[04:30] <jrgill> 10 KB/sec downloading the live cd are you kidding me?
[04:30] <costas> try reading the history of Debian GNU/Linux it rocks
[04:30] <Graet|> i have sometime in the distant past
[04:31] <shcherbak> If to use Linux in middle of sentence, does it make silly bot happy?
[04:31] <Graet|> no
[04:31] <costas> Ubuntu studio is not bad at all, I'm currently test-riding it, no serious problems, and fast updates
[04:31] <Graet|> capital L might do it tho
[04:31] <Graet|> Linux
[04:31] <Graet|> linux
[04:31] <faenor> Graet|: GNU/Linux, not linux
[04:31] <shcherbak> If to use linux in middle of sentence, does it make silly bot happy?
[04:31] <faenor> shcherbak: GNU/Linux, not linux
[04:31] <costas> alsa messed things up again so I'm using OSS for my pro soundcard
[04:31] <costas> !damn faenor
[04:32] <shcherbak> rww: What is sense of it?
[04:32] <Graet|> my brain isnt working today. when it restarts i'll try getting sound to work :(
[04:33] <Graet|> damn hospitals and the drugs they inject you with :(
[04:33] <costas> Graet|, I thought alsa would work for me but there's always another way, rtfm of the Ubuntu howtos
[04:33] <Graet|> yer, i been following a guide. but due to brain lag got lost
[04:34] <jack_> NooBoontoo: kk, did you do it the way i described and the resolution is set fine?
[04:34] <aroman> how can a manually change a string in an app that I have installed?
[04:34] <ruan> gnu is the licence i assume
[04:34] <ruan> or i fail
[04:34] <ohsix> i thought the gnu was a yak
[04:34] <jack_> GNU is GNU not Unix. :P
[04:34] <ohsix> the license is gpl and friends
[04:34] <sacarlson> faenor: do people that speak to you always say your first and last name each time they say hello  faenor beboper  or do they jast say hi fae what's up?
[04:34] <ruan> ah
[04:34] <NooBoontoo> Yes, I have try to merge the file with the old one, and create a new one, but, is the same
[04:34] <NooBoontoo> jack_ Yes, I have try to merge the file with the old one, and create a new one, but, is the same
[04:34] <ohsix> linux
[04:34] <aotianlong> GNU is Not Unix
[04:34] <jack_> ruan: GNU is the free software stuff that got the linux distros started up. linux is the kernel of the distros
[04:34] <ruan> jack_ ah ok
[04:34] <jack_> NooBoontoo: the old xorg.conf and the new one are the same?
[04:34] <jack_> ruan: if you're interested, you sould checkout 'revolution os' its on google videos.
[04:34] <ohsix> (fwiw i know what GNU and GNU/Linux is, it's just stupid to correct people, especially with a script)
[04:34] <jack_> ruan: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7707585592627775409#
[04:34] <NooBoontoo> jack_,  There are so many of those files I dont even know now...
[04:34] <jack_> NooBoontoo: it should be in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:34] <faenor> ohsix: GNU/Linux, not linux
[04:34] <Error404NotFound> I am looking for a really small ubuntu based distribution with no gui to install in a 16M flashdrive. Any suggestions?
[04:34] <jack_> 16mb??
[04:34] <NooBoontoo> jack_,  Yeah, there are like 10 of those files
[04:34] <jack_> NooBoontoo: what are their names?
[04:34] <ruan> is net install possible?
[04:34] <jack_> Error404NotFound: DSL is the smallest one i nkow and its 50mb
[04:34] <Error404NotFound> jack_: tiny core is 10M but not ubuntu based.
[04:34] <faenor> jack_: GNU/Linux, not linux
[04:34] <aroman> how can a manually change a string in an app that I have installed?
[04:34] <jack_> Error404NotFound: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightweight_Linux_distribution
[04:34] <Graet|> i do a lot of forum reading/research/trial b4 asking for helps :)
[04:34] <costas> get some sleep, grab a mug of hot coffee and fix it man, it's all there
[04:35] <costas> forget about the forums, focus on the Ubuntu help
[04:35] <costas> #fora, sorry
[04:36] <costas> aroman, check it's config file
[04:36] <thangavel> hello guys...i got gc++ installed in my ubuntu by yesterday..i get the following errors..plz help me...http://paste.ubuntu.com/569018/
[04:36] <breadcrumb> hi
[04:36] <misla> #ubuntu -q $~a
[04:36] <Graet|> costas, no big hurry, i got 5 days to get it working right :)
[04:36] <breadcrumb> ?
[04:37] <thangavel>  hello guys...i got gc++ installed in my ubuntu by yesterday..i get the following errors..plz help me...http://paste.ubuntu.com/569018/
[04:38] <thangavel> the thing that is puzzling me here is that error: iostream.h: No such file or directory...plz somebody help me
[04:38] <milamber> thangavel: remove the .h from the include
[04:39] <jack_> faenor: ?
[04:39] <NooBoontoo> jack_,  Xorg.1log Xorg.1.log.old Xorg.2.log thru Xorg.5.log.old and a Xorg.99 and some Xorg.failsafe.log files
[04:39] <jack_> NooBoontoo: those look like log files. they're usually under /var/log
[04:39] <jack_> the xorg.conf file will be in /etc/X11
[04:39] <aotianlong> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-xserver
[04:39] <NooBoontoo> jack_, Oh, let me check
[04:39] <ohsix> linux
[04:39] <aotianlong> should re configure the Xorg.conf
[04:39] <ruan> faenor should've had a delay of seconds per message coded, to prevent floods
[04:39] <NooBoontoo> jack_,  https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9041618/Screenshot-2.png
[04:39] <faenor> ohsix: GNU/Linux, not linux
[04:39] <jack_> NooBoontoo: put the contents of xorg.conf into pastebin.ubuntu.com
[04:39] <jack_> and gimmie the url
[04:39] <milamber> thangavel: and how did you install the compiler?
[04:39] <numexa> thangavel: try iostream without iostream.h
[04:39] <costas> thangavel, check http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=656721 for C++ links
[04:40] <aroman> costas: where would I find that?
[04:40] <darkjedi> I have never heard of linux until last year. Do I need to keep windows on my computer?
[04:40] <faenor> darkjedi: GNU/Linux, not linux
[04:41] <Graet|> darkjedi  no need but you can if you want - its called dualbooting :)
[04:41] <tonyyarusso> faenor: That's really not helpful.
[04:41] <costas> aroman, usually config files are located in your home folder after installation
 :now it works fine...
[04:41] <jrgill> does ubuntu on a usb stick actually install on it as opposed to the live cd?
[04:41] <costas> edit with caution and always backup to avoid reinstalling apps
 : thanks a lot
[04:42] <somethinginteres> My PS3 still has v2.60 firmware and I'm thinking of putting Ubuntu 10.10 on it.. has anyone done this? My main reason for doing it is to be able to watch varying types of media instead of just mp4 and divx.
[04:42] <costas> aroman, they are in the form of .(app name) with a dot in front...
[04:42] <ActionParsnip> www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html - Cached
[04:42] <ActionParsnip> oops
[04:42] <milamber> thangavel: np. also when you say "using namespace std" you don't have to put "std::" you can just say: cout << "hello" << endl;
[04:43] <costas> got to go to work people, will log in from there bb all -don't mess with da bots, behave
 : ya...u r right...while trying to solve that issue..i tried every possibility..that is y..
[04:44] <darkjedi> Does anyone use john
[04:44] <dsevigny> What is the default Java JRE on Ubuntu Server 10.10?
[04:44] <AbhijiT> !info java
[04:44] <tonyyarusso> dsevigny: Ubuntu Server doesn't have a JRE by default.
[04:45] <darkjedi> I have built a dictionary but I can't et it to work on my network
[04:45] <costas> !beer costas
[04:45] <milamber> thangavel: i don't know what tutorial you are using, but the .h headers in c++ are deprecated. if you are writing a new program for current compilers you should avoid them. you can google iostream vs iostream.h for lots more info.
[04:45] <dsevigny> Tonyyarusso I beg to differ unless it got installed with Tomcat, in which case which would the default JRE be?
[04:46] <NooBoontoo> jack_, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/0HmXaNcd
[04:46] <jack_> NooBoontoo: did you set the resolution? i dont see resolution set in here
[04:46] <ohsix> faenor: linux?
[04:46] <jack_> oh wait. 1440x900? is that the resolution you set?
[04:46] <jack_> NooBoontoo: isn't it supposed to be a 1680 x 1050 resolution
[04:46] <NooBoontoo> jack_,  here is the new file after setting up the resolution http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/TYRDiuDC
[04:46] <jack_> NooBoontoo: that still says 1440x900. is that correct?
[04:46] <NooBoontoo> jack_,  No, my monitor has a 1440x900 max resolution
[04:46] <jack_> NooBoontoo: what happens when you relog? what does it get set to?
[04:46] <faenor> ohsix: GNU/Linux, not linux
[04:46] <slie> fu
[04:46] <NooBoontoo> jack_ Let me restart
[04:46] <jack_> NooBoontoo: just relog
[04:46] <NooBoontoo> How do I relog?
[04:46] <soreau> NooBoontoo: sys>prefs>log out
[04:46] <slie> how do i
[04:46] <soreau> NooBoontoo: Sys>Log Out user
[04:46] <soreau> slie: Did you need help with something?
[04:46] <linuxman410> mini itx is the way to go with ubuntu
[04:46] <jack_> ^nice
[04:47] <slie> faenor, sweet interactive wiki
[04:47] <slie> can i boot just a kernel from grub
[04:47] <tonyyarusso> dsevigny: Tomcat would do it.  Looks like openjdk-6-jre-headless has the highest priority within libtomcat6-java's dependencies.
[04:47] <mufasis> i just installed ubuntu server 10.04 to my hp proliant dl320 using fakeraid with raid 1, i am in the cli as my regular user, how can i tell if the raid is setup correctly?
[04:48] <dsevigny> dang.... Will it muss up if I replace it with the Sun JRE?
[04:48] <tonyyarusso> faenor: Again, it's not helpful for you to "correct" people for saying Linux.
[04:48] <thangavel> hello
[04:48] <jack_> mufasis: cat /proc/mdstat
[04:48] <NooBoontoo> jack_,  My screen resolution is in AUTO when i restart
[04:49] <jack_> NooBoontoo: in the nvidia settings it's auto?
 : i've beeen using TC compiler..
[04:49] <NooBoontoo> jack_,  yes
[04:49] <ohsix> how do i shot a linux
[04:49] <faenor> ohsix: GNU/Linux, not linux
[04:49] <jack_> NooBoontoo: what about the native display settings? does that just say 'use nvidia'?
[04:49] <aroman> where are the multilingual strings for apps stored in ubuntu? (like on an ubuntu box)?
[04:49] <jack_> ohsix: idunno lol
[04:49] <milamber> thangavel: TC?
[04:49] <jack_> the linux
[04:50] <NooBoontoo> jack_,  I dont know about the native display settings, I cant find that option in nvidia-settings
[04:51] <jack_> NooBoontoo: its not in the nvidia-settings. its under the 'system > admin> or 'system > prefs' menu
[04:51] <darkjedi> what does that red line mean
 : Turbo Borland compiler in windows..this is the one usually suggested for beginners to c/c++..has got a good GUI..but has also gaot a lot of drawbacks
[04:51] <jack_> darkjedi: where you lost focus of the chat?
[04:52] <jack_> nope. i have no idea
[04:52] <sacarlson> Error404NotFound: well I found this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD  that has a 12mb installer,  so that leaves you 4 meg to play with
 : may i ask u one thing??
[04:52] <milamber> thangavel: shoot
[04:52] <Error404NotFound> sacarlson: thanks :)
[04:52] <researcher1> is it possible to create a list of user-name and password in excel sheet & then import it to access the Ubuntu operating system?
[04:53] <NooBoontoo> jack_,  MESSAGE: It appears that your graphics driver does not support the necessary extensions to use this tool.  Do you want to use your graphics driver vendor's tool instead?
[04:53] <jack_> NooBoontoo: im looking at an xorg file. just one sec
 : from ur answers it seems that u've got a sound knowledge in c++...could u post some very difficult debugging/reasoning questions  for me
 : in pastebin
[04:54] <tripps> I like the power saving features of ubuntu and laptop mode tools for my laptop. However, one annoyance is that when my display dims after a period of non-use, and I begin using it again, it doesn't go back to the brightness it was before it dimmed. I have to manually brighten it each time. Any ideas how to fix?
[04:55] <milamber> thangavel: i know the *basics* the best way to really learn is get involved in a project. find something that interests you and see if the devs are looking for help. if they are they will give you a place to start. and fwiw i don't think borland has updated any of their stuff in years. depending on which os you want to develop for you may want to look into an alternative.
[04:55] <darkjedi> Im new to all of this. I have problems with man man. I cant understand what to do. Are there any tutorials for the clueless
[04:56] <tripps> it brightens a little bit, but not back to the level I set it to before
[04:56] <jack_> NooBoontoo:     Option         "metamodes" "1440x900 +0+0; nvidia-auto-select +0+0"
[04:56] <jack_> NooBoontoo: MY box has:     Option         "metamodes" "1360x768 +0+0"
[04:56] <jack_> NooBoontoo: try removing that junk after the first ;
[04:56] <jack_> save and relog
[04:56] <icedtea> researcher1: what do you mean by import? setup a list of users with specified passwords?
[04:56] <jack_> researcher1: you could use a script to do that ify ou save as a csv file
[04:56] <ruan> i need to mount my ntfs drive, but it wont let me
[04:56] <jack_> researcher1: i think that 'excel' files are all encrypted
[04:56] <jack_> ruan: what happens when you try to mount it?
 : k..fine...thanks for ur concern & valuable time...
[04:56] <NooBoontoo> the nvidia-autoselect +00+?
[04:56] <ruan> http://paste.ubuntu.com/569024/
[04:56] <jack_> NooBoontoo: yes. in your xorg.conf. line 59 of hte pastebin you sent me
[04:56] <jack_> ruan: try with the '-v' flag
[04:56] <ruan> i can't access it, and nothing does that at startup
[04:56] <ruan> ok i'll try -v
[04:56] <jack_> ruan: also, check that is not alreaqdy mounted by typing 'mount -l'
[04:56] <icedtea> researcher1: save as a csv file, there might be a way to read them with an openoffice library, but that would just make it more complicated
[04:57] <AbhijiT> hi
[04:57] <ruan> -v does nothing
[04:57] <ruan> you mean -V?
[04:57] <jack_> ruan: it sould giv eyou mroe verbose output
[04:57] <AbhijiT> there was a file in ~/Example folder in which they have given 'case studies' of ubuntu. but i dont have that file. is it not in lucid? where it gone?any one can help? or give me your copy?
[04:57] <eross> just got a new monitor, how do i change the refresh rate? it's at 60hz atm
[04:58] <ruan> it just says mount from util-linux-ng 2.17.2 (with libblkid and selinux support)
[04:58] <jack_> researcher1: you can use awk to go through the csv and add them.
[04:58] <_NaN_> I saw that in Win7 you can tile the windows like a charm, what about ubuntu, how it is posible?
[04:58] <jack_> i blew away my ~/examples file. is it not created under new users?
[04:58] <rww> _NaN_: KDE can do it. GNOME's Compiz has the ability to do it, but it's a pain to set up properly.
