[19:41] <c3l> ActionParsnip: yeah, there are loads to chse from, Im wondering which one to use
[19:41] <scannie> Hello. I can't mount HDDs/USB Flash Drives... They don't show in the "computer" icon, and if i try to mount them I get "mount: según mtab, /dev/sdb1 ya está montado en /" [according to mtab it's already mounted]... any ideas?
[19:41] <marcoss> how can I start samba ?
[19:41] <tensorpudding> It should surely work with the default driver fine.
[19:41] <headkase314> Shact1, I'm sorry - I don't know what to do, the output isn't descriptive enough for me to figure out what to do as the next step... :(  I don't know, perhaps someone else can help?
[19:42] <tensorpudding> I doubt nvidia's blob driver supports it anymore though
[19:42] <ActionParsnip> c3l: try a few, see which you like. Ftp is widely supported but not very secure. Ssh supports sftp which is more secure
[19:42] <LinoSP> yeah I also have a Geforce 2 MX 100/200
[19:42] <ActionParsnip> !samba | marcoss
[19:42] <Shact1> headkase314: ok, thanks for looking. I'm going to have to come back to this as it's very uncomfortable on the floor
[19:43] <ActionParsnip> scannie: run: mount ,it will show you what is mounted and where
[19:43] <headkase314> Shact1, for reference for everyone, trying to compile: Edimax based on the RT3070 chip. http://www.edimax.co.uk/images/Image/Driver_Utility/Wireless/NIC/2009/RT3070_Linux_STA_v<IP_ADDRESS>.tar.zip with pastebin output here: http://pastebin.com/30NDmzVe
[19:43] <tensorpudding> Might nouveau or whatever support it?
[19:43] <LinoSP> I have installed the propietary drivers but I see 640x480 as max resolution
[19:43] <jm2k> help: login screen returns to login after i login with user/pass.
[19:43] <c3l> ActionParsnip: yeah, but I want to allow downloads via the browser, afaik no browser has ssh support
[19:43] <ZykoticK9> c3l, i'm personally with ActionParsnip on this one - sftp would be a lot better.  But i've used proftpd succesfully in the past (it's fairly easy to setup, and powerful as well)
[19:44] <ActionParsnip> LinoSP: try running: sudo nvidia-xconfig ,then reboot. This will force the use of the proprietary driver
[19:44] <jeroendv> ActionParsnip: but doesn't cron have the problem that it doesn't work if your laptop if not on?
[19:44] <ZykoticK9> c3l, if it's only download and not upload you want - perhaps you could you a web server apache instead?
[19:44] <ActionParsnip> jeroendv: well, yeah.   That will get you started again good!
[19:45] <c3l> ZykoticK9: no uploads will be needed too
[19:45] <llutz> jeroendv:  anacron exists
[19:45] <jeroendv> ActionParsnip: well ok obviously, but will cron realise that it missed an action and perform it when the laptop is turned off?
[19:45] <ActionParsnip> LinoSP: your cards sound like they will be supported by the nouveau driver rather than the proprietary driver
[19:46] <orion_X11> how do I configure volume applet panel to show its bar in a vertical mode, instead of horizontal? I do not like horizontal mode to put volume up and down
[19:46] <jeroendv> llutz: yeah, thought of that but its smallest period is 1 day, while i would rather have somthing like 6 or 12h
[19:46] <ActionParsnip> jeroendv: no, the scheduler will rerun at boot and the schedule will be re-examines and continued
[19:46] <ActionParsnip> jeroendv: if your bios supports it you can schedule a power on
[19:46] <jeroendv> ActionParsnip: turned ON, i mean
[19:46] <jm2k> how do you enable auto-login via terminalo?
[19:48] <abhijit> jm2k, autologin to what?
[19:48] <bastid_raZor> jm2k: you could look  in .xsession-errors to see a possible reason why you're not able to complete the login
[19:48] <jm2k> abhigit: my gnome login screen kicks me back to login after i enter my user/pass correctly.
[19:48] <jeroendv> ActionParsnip: so theoretically I could prevent cron from ever doing anything if I turn it off just before it should be executing? seems fischy
[19:49] <gh> after last upgrade(10.04), no sound, and I cannot restart or shutdown my box from inside of gnome or gdm.
[19:49] <xtknight> jm2k, it's usually a per-user error. if all else fails you can try creating another user or check /home/failinguser/.xsession-errors
[19:49] <abhijit> jm2k, ok. i thought that some other probem. ok you follow what xtknight and bastid_raZor are saying
[19:49] <cawnc> Hello, i am a newbie, can you tell me how to make a program start up when you log in? basicly how do I add programs to the startup list?
[19:49] <jru898> Does anyone know how to sharpen the image from a logitech webcam once I've got the image?
[19:50] <xtknight> cawnc, system-> preferences ->startup
[19:50] <abhijit> cawnc, System=>Preferences=>Startup Aps
[19:50] <bastid_raZor> !startup | cawnc
[19:50] <ZykoticK9> cawnc, System / Preferences / Startup Applications
[19:50] <xtknight> jru898, in what context?
[19:50] <k0sh-mobile> Aj
[19:50] <jru898> I.e., I have the webcam working, and I have it running in several flash-based applications
[19:50] <jru898> But the image is extremely grainy
[19:50] <sanguisdex1> so I just installed ubutntu onto a win7 machine for a dual boot and now I can't get past the file system check when booting into win 7. any sugestions
[19:50] <jru898> And dark
[19:50] <ZykoticK9> bastid_raZor, the !startup factoid need to be updated for 10.04 me thinks.
[19:50] <jru898> I'd like to increase the exposure
[19:50] <bastid_raZor> that factoid is outdated for 10.04 :\
[19:51] <bastid_raZor> ZykoticK9: agreed.
[19:51] <elyos>
[19:51] <tuxifier> I just want to say that haproxy is a pretty fancy tool :)
[19:51] <jru898> And cheese doesn't offer the options I need
[19:51] <k0sh-mobile> rooks: hi, remember me?
[19:51] <xtknight> jru898, usually it needs more lighting. but im not sure there's a way to put a filter at the driver level other than modifying the source code. unless it has options already. there might be a V4L2 option in it, but sadly most apps dont expose access to these so readily
[19:52] <cached> so is there a difference between apt-get and aptitude
[19:52] <xtknight> cached,  aptitude installed recommended applications, apt-get does not... i believe
[19:52] <ZykoticK9> cached, yes - aptitude has actually been removed from default Maverick FYI
[19:52] <abhijit> ZykoticK9, which was last version having that Session menu?
[19:52] <gh> heh, serious hand holding goes on in here
[19:52] <ZykoticK9> abhijit, not sure... 9.04?
[19:52] <jm2k> xtknight: you're awesome! i did have a syntax error. i'd like to offer you my first-born :) thanks
[19:52] <abhijit> ZykoticK9, ok
[19:53] <xtknight> jm2k lol
[19:53] <AviMarcus> heya. I'm trying luckybackup / rsync to synchronize two external drives. But it's only adding, not deleting files. What should I use to sync with deleting?
[19:53] <tesuji> i don't want to use the gnome keyring - can i just delete the files?
[19:53] <jm2k> bastid_raZor: thanks too.
[19:53] <greph> why we have to install all the 30 mb of kernel when needs even a mirror update ? (i know that linux is consisted from hundreds of packages, so it is not enough to install just the updated package ? )
[19:54] <grendal_prime> anyone any good with virtualbox?
[19:54] <grendal_prime> networking that is?
[19:54] <xtknight> greph,  most of the space is debug info (annotated code to help developers debug issues)
[19:54] <Snandy> How can I get Ubuntu to "see" my raid drives?
[19:54] <ZykoticK9> !anyone | grendal_prime or see the #vbox channel
[19:54] <DasEi> grendal_prime: not sure, just ask
[19:54] <xtknight> Snandy, software or hardware raid?
[19:55] <SimonSayez> tesuji, gnome-keyring is a pain in the ass
[19:55] <Snandy> Hardware, on the motherboard
[19:55] <abhijit> ZykoticK9, i submitted factoid update. let see what ops do to it? :)
[19:55] <greph> xtknight: sorry but i can not understand what you mean. i dont know if i have problem with my system. can you explain the reason of that easy.
[19:55] <DasEi> Snandy: load dmraid
[19:55] <DasEi> !info dmraid
[19:55] <xtknight> Snandy, usually you can setup your device with device-mapper and it'll be in /dev/mapper/xxxx
[19:55] <ZykoticK9> abhijit, well from the channel - thanks ;)
[19:55] <abhijit> ZykoticK9, :)
[19:55] <Snandy> !info dmraid
[19:55] <tesuji> SimonSayez, i noticed - but what happens i delete it
[19:55] <jm2k> back to my project with a deadline. thanks all for the help.
[19:55] <xtknight> greph, no you don't have a problem with your system, sometimes updates are just big
[19:56] <DasEi> !info dmraid > Snandy
[19:56] <Snandy> Thanks
[19:56] <greph> xtknight: big like 30 mb ? :)wow so developers are working fast :D
[19:56] <tesuji> i don't want to use the gnome keyring - can i just delete the files?
[19:56] <SimonSayez> tesuji, Delete those Gnome files in your home directory and leave the gnome keyring pasword field blank
[19:56] <ZykoticK9> tesuji, is key ring coming up everytime for nm_applet?
[19:56] <DasEi> Snandy: install i, read its man - output for usage
[19:56] <DasEi> it*
[19:57] <tesuji> ZykoticK9, my wifi wont work until i enter password
[19:57] <DasEi> grendal_prime: what's on with vboxnetwork ?
[19:57] <xtknight> greph, yeah sort of, but most of that size is not new code
[19:57] <ZykoticK9> tesuji, move rather then delete the current keyring settings - then the next time keyring should re-prompt, choose the Insecure storage option and it will stop asking.
[19:57] <k0sh-mobile> rooks: are you there?
[19:57] <Snandy> DasEi: Thanks, installed and reading now
[19:57] <xtknight> greph, ubuntu does not support delta like fedora or suse yet, it installs the whole new package.
[19:57] <polar|grr> sorry for the disconnection... I found something odd. I have a 80GB drive on /dev/sda, and a 160gb drive on /dev/sdb ... /dev/sdb1 WAS mounted on /, and that's ok, but 'mount /dev/sda1' says "/dev/sdb' is already mounted... any ideas? o_O
[19:58] <greph> xtknight:  ok. thank you!
[19:58] <DasEi> polar|grr: output of mount without any parameters ?
[19:58] <Snandy> How do I add slides for my desktop? Like the default Cosmos
[19:59] <tesuji> ZykoticK9, move? where?  why?
[19:59] <ZykoticK9> Snandy, use Cosmos script as a base, and TRY to adapt it to your own files.  I personally failed at it, good luck.
[19:59] <jeremyn> how can i verify that i am using the nvidia driver? System > Administration > Hardware Drivers say I am using nvidia, but System > Administration > NVIDIA X Server Settings says I am not
[19:59] <tesuji> does anybody use dropbox?
[20:00] <DasEi> jeremyn: stop gdm and run : sudo nvidia-settings first one time
[20:00] <jeremyn> DasEi: you mean log out and then login through the command line and run that?
[20:00] <abhijit> hello
[20:00] <abhijit> how to know if what filesystem i have? just to check?
[20:00] <drale2k> Hey guys, please help!  Or "cat /proc/$$/mounts"
[20:01] <llutz> abhijit: blkid
[20:01] <DasEi> jeremyn: yes, or just sudo service gdm stop (logs you out!) , start after issuing above command to restart gdm again
[20:01] <cawnc> I havent used Ubuntu since 8.04, does it still have Compiz Fusion?
[20:01] <drale2k> its running Plesk and Virtuozzo, preinstalled
[20:01] <jeremyn> abhijit: cat /etc/fstab
[20:01] <Pici> !enter | drale2k
[20:01] <muelli> !enter | drale2k
[20:01] <abhijit> muelli, jeremyn llutz thanks. :)
[20:01] <jeremyn> DasEi: thanks
[20:01] <DasEi> cawnc: yes, and you can directl y upgrade to lucid
[20:01] <cawnc> DasEi what is lucid?
[20:01] <DasEi> !lucid
[20:02] <muelli> !enter | muelli
[20:02] <cawnc> oh, i know thats what i just installed
[20:02] <polar|grr> DasEi: http://pastie.org/1077983
[20:02] <cawnc> haha
[20:02] <rooks> is there an xchat-gnome plugin or irssi plugin to send out nice xorg popups/notifications when something was said when i was offline?
[20:02] <dekelev> hi
[20:02] <cawnc> !compiz
[20:02] <DasEi> rooks: pidign has
[20:02] <drale2k> Now if i access the server via FTP as user and upload something (f.e. wordpress.zip) and then go into with SSH as root and unzip it, i can`t use the file anymore because the server "cant use, find, see.. whatever" the file
[20:02] <cawnc> !compiz fusion
[20:02] <dekelev> how do you set usb headset as default sound device through a command line
[20:02] <welinux> rooks: libnotify?
[20:03] <dekelev> ?
[20:03] <dekelev> or alsa-base
[20:03] <rooks> welinux, i guess ill have to write it myself, but was looking for sth readymade :P
[20:03] <grendal_prime> DasEi, well im trying to dest-nat port 80 to the virtualbox and its not working.
[20:03] <DasEi> polar|grr: so that's what is actually mounted now, please also paste out from : sudo fdisk -l
[20:03] <cdavis_> What is the best choice for squid log analysis if we want to track individual users web usage? I already have ident working correctly
[20:04] <polar|grr> DasEi, http://pastie.org/1077992
[20:05] <DasEi> polar|grr: and now you want to mount the sda ntfs ?
[20:05] <polar|grr> yes sir
[20:05] <plunder> does anyone know if the package 'iw' enable packet injection when satisfying the aircrack-ng dependency?
[20:06] <jeremyn> DasEi: i tried the sudo nvidia-settings thing but it complained with "The control display is undefined"
[20:06] <ActionParsnip> !info iw
[20:06] <DasEi> polar|grr: sudo mkdir /media/sda1
[20:06] <jeremyn> DasEi: btw, isn't nvidia-settings the same as System > Administration > NVIDIA X Server Settings?
[20:06] <DasEi> polar|grr: sudo mount /dev/sda1  /media/sda1
[20:06] <picard1421> hey guys..
[20:07] <plunder> ActionParsip: i read that already i wasn't sure as it didn't mention
[20:07] <ActionParsnip> jeremyn: yes its the same
[20:07] <DasEi> jeremyn: no, you run it once to get the config written
[20:07] <polar|grr> DasEi, i'll assume i have to create /media/sda1
[20:07] <SimonSayez> install bleachbit to clean up Ubuntu Linux browser files and tmp files too
[20:07] <picard1421> does ubuntu support the lenovo w510 laptop... what i mean by that can u use the touch screen and multi touch track pad with ubuntu?
[20:07] <DasEi> polar|grr: yep, see above
[20:07] <tomhoo> Hy
[20:07] <polar|grr> oh, sorry, didn't see it... that worked
[20:07] <polar|grr> thanks a bunch
[20:07] <ActionParsnip> SimonSayez: wactch the settings in browsers though or it'll clean settings you want
[20:08] <ncurses> hey guys
[20:08] <DasEi> grendal_prime: you want to make the vm being reachable as a server ?
[20:08] <polar|grr> now any idea how to make it automatically mount stuff again?
[20:08] <SimonSayez> ActionParsnip, Right I always make sure I read the boxes before I click them
[20:08] <ActionParsnip> SimonSayez: also close as many apps as you can to unlock files
[20:08] <Yoska> Hi,It is first time that i am here,at last i have entered this raum via pidgin
[20:08] <abhijit> !hi | Yoska
[20:08] <ncurses> just a quick question... what do i need to install first since im planning on dual booting freebsd and ubuntu???
[20:09] <bipolar> Has anyone else noticed a lot of interface lag and temporary hanging when you have a lot of programs running at once, copying files around, or compiling something? I looked into it and ended up changing the default scheduler, which make my UI much more responsive. If anyone else is having the same issues, I'd like you to try the same thing I did and see if it clears up.
[20:09] <ActionParsnip> SimonSayez: you can also remove old kernels to save space
[20:09] <abhijit> Yoska, try to use proper irc client if possible (my personal opion) e.g. xchat
[20:09] <SimonSayez> ActionParsnip, I never have my browser record my session and I use google-chrome in incognito mode on start up #google-chrome --incognito
[20:09] <Yoska> ok,thnk friend
[20:09] <Snandy> Is PlayOnLinux a good app? Is it a must have for a semi-novice?
[20:10] <DasEi> ncurses: can use grub for both, so no real matter, I'd go bsd-ubuntu, cause ubuntu has better support
[20:10] <jeremyn> Snandy: depends on what you're trying to do i suppose
[20:10] <ActionParsnip> SimonSayez: what does incognito do? I hope you aren't rrunning it as root
[20:10] <picard1421> anyone know?
[20:10] <grendal_prime> DasEi, ya.  webserver
[20:10] <picard1421> if the w510 touch and multi touch feature are supported?
[20:10] <grendal_prime> from the host wich is also a router.
[20:10] <ActionParsnip> picard1421: check the hcl
[20:10] <picard1421> hc1?
[20:11] <picard1421> what is that?
[20:11] <Snandy> jeremyn: I am wanting to play PC games in Ubuntu. I am searching for WineX apps, and many more popped up than I expected
[20:11] <SimonSayez> ActionParsnip, Download Google-Chrome and install it and make a Desktop launcher and go to Properties and add --incognito to /usr/bin/google-chrome --incognito and your history never gets recorded
[20:11] <DasEi> grendal_prime: I assume you have a dynamic IP on the host, so you have to set up a (free) account like dyndnscom and then use a client on the vm to resolve the host(the vm itself in this case)
[20:11] <piercedwater> will someone link me to the lib and rtorrent respoistory for ubuntu?
[20:11] <abhijit> !hcl | picard1421
[20:11] <piercedwater> i cant find it on google
[20:11] <jeroendv> llutz: seems like fcron will get it done
[20:11] <grendal_prime> DasEi, i was assuming that i would just dest-nat anything coming in on port 80.
[20:11] <SimonSayez> ActionParsnip, of course not, I would never run a web browser as root
[20:11] <jeremyn> Snandy: i've found wine by itself is decently usable. occasionally i've had trouble with wine and tried to use playonlinux but it still wouldn't work
[20:12] <grendal_prime> umm the host is a register domain name
[20:12] <DasEi> piercedwater: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors
[20:12] <SimonSayez> ActionParsnip, Do you run Google-Chrome web browser too ?
[20:12] <jeremyn> Snandy: i am not a hardcore PC gamer though
[20:12] <tesuji> i am trying to config networkmanager to static my host - i fill in the entries but the "apply" button is greyed out - what am i doig wrong?
[20:13] <Snandy> Chrome and Firefox, and even the most recent IE can go into private browsing mode by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+P
[20:13] <Snandy> jeremyn: If I do get PlayOnLinux, won't I still need WineX, as it sayt it is just a front end.
[20:13] <tesuji> i am trying to config networkmanager to static my host - i fill in the entries but the "apply" button is greyed out - what am i doig wrong?
[20:13] <DasEi> piercedwater: torrent, i386 or 64 bit ?
[20:13] <piercedwater> i386
[20:13] <piercedwater> this link is almost impossible to find
[20:13] <ncurses> DasEi, thanks...
[20:13] <picard1421> i dont see on that ubuntu link... where it says laptop comatabilities?\
[20:13] <SimonSayez> Snandy, I needed to configure Google Chrome to start in incognito mode everytime I clicked on to the desktop launcher
[20:13] <kagekage> Snandy, if you download PlayOnLinux it will download WINE to fill the dependency, I believe
[20:14] <jeremyn> Snandy: if you install playonlinux from the repositories, it will install wine if you don't already have it
[20:14] <tesuji> i am trying to config networkmanager to static my host - i fill in the entries but the "apply" button is greyed out - what am i doig wrong?
[20:14] <Snandy> Thanks both of you
[20:14] <DasEi> piercedwater: http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent
[20:14] <picard1421> i see this
[20:14] <picard1421> http://webapps.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201005-5732/
[20:14] <tesuji> i am trying to config networkmanager to static my host - i fill in the entries but the "apply" button is greyed out - what am i doig wrong?
[20:14] <picard1421> but that does not tell me if it supoports the touch screen etc???
[20:14] <SimonSayez> recording browser History seems stupid anyway thats how people profile you
[20:15] <jeremyn> speaking of games btw, has anyone gotten everquest (the first one) to work on ubuntu? i can't even get it to start up
[20:15] <piercedwater> DasEi: um, Im looking for rtorrent and the lib for ubuntu server
[20:15] <piercedwater> in the repository
[20:15] <karlo> where we can say our ideas for ubuntu ?
[20:15] <piercedwater> not actual ubuntu :P
[20:15] <tesuji> i am trying to config networkmanager to static my host - i fill in the entries but the "apply" button is greyed out - what am i doig wrong?
[20:15] <DasEi> piercedwater: oh, the app ?
[20:15] <piercedwater> right
[20:15] <piercedwater> I dont wnt to compile
[20:15] <DasEi> !info rtorrent
[20:15] <SimonSayez> Linux Games are just not as polished as Windows games
[20:15] <welinux> SimonSayez: google-chrome --incognito
[20:16] <cablop> i need some help i need to be able to reinstall my nvidia drivers, it's not working after i changed my board
[20:16] <The_Thing|Laptop> How do I find which version of Ubuntu I use? Specifically, I forgot whether I'm using the 32-bit or the 64-bit.
[20:16] <tesuji> does anyone know how to config ubuntu for static ip?
[20:16] <grendal_prime> SimonSayez, you have never played savage2 then
[20:16] <cablop> but it's the same AGP card
[20:16] <abhijit> The_Thing|Laptop, uname -a
[20:16] <DasEi> The_Thing|Laptop: lsb_release -a
[20:16] <tesuji> does anyone know how to config ubuntu for static ip?
[20:16] <DasEi> tesuji: sure..
[20:16] <SimonSayez> welinux, Thats what I did if you right click on the Google Chrome launcher on your desktop and that to the command line it starts up in incognito mode every time
[20:17] <coz_> tesuji,   try here   http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-ubuntu-linux-convert-dhcp-network-configuration-to-static-ip-configuration.html
[20:17] <DasEi> tesuji: gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
[20:17] <Snandy> Where would I find manuals/text files at? The dmraid manual is eluding me.
[20:17] <piercedwater> uh thanks
[20:17] <SimonSayez> grendal_prime, I played Savage2 a longtime ago
[20:17] <The_Thing|Laptop> abhijit: Thanks!

[20:20] <tesuji> coz_, yes and netman has settigs for static but the apply button is greyed out
[20:20] <mleger> Hello all, I'm having issues finding lightning and gdata provider extensions for my Thunderbird 3.0.6 running Lucid 64 bit. Can anyone drop be a link for compatible addons? Thanks!!
[20:20] <fs_> I checked the help before but didn't find the right switch
[20:20] <coz_> tesuji,  ok to be honest I am the "doof"  of networking solutions :)   I would think others here are more qualified than I ...or  go to ##linux channel if no one here knows
[20:20] <fs_> I'll check again
[20:21] <abhijit> !wifi | tesuji
[20:21] <psycho789> does LVPM work with latest ubuntu version
[20:22] <mleger> Anyone? Surely someone else has been struggling with the same issue!
[20:22] <SimonSayez> The problem with Google-Chrome is it is no good for long downloads and you cant pause your downloads
[20:22] <DasEi> grendal_prime: I still don't get the whole scenario, if your host is already reachable, can use dnsmasq to point it to the vm
[20:22] <munis> hi everybody
[20:22] <tesuji> abhijit, my wifi works - the problem is configuring networkmanager
[20:22] <abhijit> mleger, try in #thunderbird on irc.mozilla.org
[20:23] <DasEi> !hi | munis
[20:23] <mleger> abhijit: will do, thank you!
[20:23] <SimonSayez> However Google Chrome appears to be much faster than FireFox
[20:23] <abhijit> tesuji, i am also not expert. but just repeat your question.
[20:23] <abhijit> mleger, :)
[20:23] <DasEi> tesuji: edit interfaces, that also overides nm
[20:24] <cawnc> Is open office the best Free linux supported word processor?
[20:24] <cablop> i can't enable my nvidia card to work, can i get some help?
[20:24] <fs_> Anybody know how to follow a redirect with wget. I tried the --help and a few commands but can't seem to find the right one
[20:24] <kagekage> cawnc: you may want to check out Abiword. I haven't used it, I prefer OpenOffice, but some like it more
[20:24] <munis>  hi
[20:24] <DasEi> cawnc: best is a poll, it's very huge and has a big footprint, but many features, I like Abiword for common officejobs
[20:24] <psycho789> userJDownloader for long downloads
[20:25] <abhijit> cawnc, my local language fonts dont work properly on open office but they work good on abiword. oo is best but not in all cases.
[20:25] <cablop> how can i reinstall my graphics card?
[20:25] <welinux>  fs_: what's the adress of the file?
[20:25] <DasEi> cablop: which nvidia ?
[20:25] <fs_> http://www.vim.org/scripts/download_script.php?src_id=11006
[20:25] <fs_> something like that
[20:25] <cablop> geforce 6200 dasei
[20:25] <fs_> but I always end up downloading the php file
[20:25] <cablop> and it was working before i moved it to a different board
[20:26] <DasEi> cablop: the standard will work there, first uninstall all nvidia stuff via synaptic, reconfigure graphics, then use hardwaredrivers
[20:26] <ZykoticK9> cablop, if you currently have an xorg.conf - "mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.orig" then you could restart and be using Nouveau.  If you want to retry nvidia - "sudo nvidia-xconfig".  Good luck.
[20:26] <cablop> then what do i have to uninstall?
[20:27] <ZykoticK9> cablop, i'd try it first without uninstalling anything.
[20:27] <DasEi> cablop: call synaptic, search for nvidia
[20:27] <cablop> ZykoticK9: ah i see
[20:27] <ZykoticK9> cablop, IF you have nvidia enabled in Hardware Drivers
[20:27] <cablop> i moved the xorg.conf file
[20:27] <cablop> and started x
[20:27] <cablop> and i'm now in synaptic and searched for nvidia
[20:27] <DasEi> cablop: try ZykoticK9 first, might be faster , if not totally borked
[20:27] <abhijit> hey friends there was an option for show only text or text with icon or only icon. but now just i reinstall my lucid and i cant have that option in right click desktop>background prefenreces
[20:27] <abhijit> help
[20:29] <cablop> ZykoticK9: DasEi i entered the synaptic a while ago, then removed the nvidia things and hen removed the xorg.conf file, i can enter in ugly graphics mode... so what's your reommendatrion now?
[20:29] <ZykoticK9> abhijit, it might be an option in ubuntu-tweak... can't check right now in wrong Ubuntu
[20:29] <abhijit> ZykoticK9, ohh ok.
[20:29] <DasEi> cablop: same or other machine currently speaking from ?
[20:29] <welinux> fs_: it's a zip file anyway You can unzip it or just rename it to *.zip
[20:29] <ZykoticK9> cablop, "sudo nvidia-xconfig" then restart x again
[20:30] <wessel> hello, I'm installing Ubuntu on my old laptop from an USB stick
[20:30] <cablop> different machine

[20:30] <ZykoticK9> cablop, use Hardware Drivers instead of synaptic, if you don't have nvidia installed
[20:30] <abhijit> !unetbootin | Saevar
[20:30] <DasEi> cablop: sudo nvidia-xconfig
[20:30] <wessel> In the bios I only have the usb-device set as bootable, is this what causing the ubuntu installation to crash?
[20:30] <cablop> ok
[20:31] <Saevar> abhijit, not working, tried
[20:31] <DasEi> cablop: sudo service gdm start
[20:31] <abhijit> hey that factoid is changed?

[20:32] <Ping_Floyd> sabee
[20:32] <Saevar> abhijit, yep
[20:32] <ZykoticK9> crom, you need to restart if you installed nvidia FYI
[20:32] <psycho789> where do i find a program ive installed
[20:32] <abhijit> Saevar, ohhh :(
[20:32] <ZykoticK9> cablop, see my message above!
[20:32] <haresh> how to ceheck a MD5 for a burned cd ?
[20:32] <abhijit> psycho789, whereis <packagename>
[20:32] <DasEi> psycho789: /usr/bin mostly

[20:32] <cablop> the one saying sudo service gdm  stop??
[20:32] <cablop> the one saying sudo service gdm  stop?? ZykoticK9 ?
[20:33] <abhijit> Saevar, try in #opensolaris
[20:33] <ZykoticK9> cablop, if you've installed nvidia - there is a kernel module installed that requires a Reboot!
[20:33] <psycho789> abhijit, thanks
[20:33] <abhijit> psycho789, :D
[20:33] <haresh> how to ceheck a MD5 for a burned cd ?
[20:33] <crom> hi all....anyone knows how to get "dund"
[20:33] <unimatrix> sound doesn't work in wine / Lucid... is there a known bug about it?
[20:33] <abhijit> once again :P
[20:33] <cablop> ZykoticK9: ok, i'll reboot then
[20:33]  * abhijit is just kidding..... :D
[20:33] <DasEi> !md5sum | haresh
[20:34] <Saevar> abhijit, tried, this is not problem of opensolaris, this is problem of actual os to write data :P
[20:34] <DasEi> haresh : just md5sum >SomeFile<, then compare
[20:34] <abhijit> Saevar, hmm. cant help.
[20:34] <Ping_Floyd> hey ZykoticK9  how about dd if='file.img' of=/dev/<usb device>
[20:34] <Snandy> I am completely and totally lost what to do with dmraid. Does anyone know of a dmraid for dummies guide somewhere?
[20:34] <pandaren> hi i am using pidgin with torsocks how can i be sure that i am anonymous?
[20:34] <haresh> ok thenks guys
[20:35] <DasEi> Ping_Floyd: that won't boot (caspar, other bootloader)
[20:35] <wessel> are there any known causes of unbuntu going gray during installation on old laptops?
[20:35] <abhijit> crom, sudo apt-get install bluez-compat
[20:35] <haresh> can i burn it on a dvdrw ??
[20:35] <DasEi> haresh: a dvd iso yes, not a cd iso
[20:35] <ZykoticK9> Ping_Floyd, ? i don't do too much ISO/USB stuff like that.  Saevar
[20:35] <abhijit> crom, this what ubuntu tell me when i try to run command dund in terminal: The program 'dund' is currently not installed.  To run 'dund' please ask your administrator to install the package 'bluez-compat'
[20:35] <Ping_Floyd> holis
[20:35] <maco> wessel: when a window goes grey, thats like "not responding" -- doesnt mean its crashed, just that its too busy to respond to clicks
[20:35] <ratcheer> haresh: Yes
[20:35] <haresh> if i were to burn a cd iso on a dvd it will not work right
[20:35] <maco> wessel: so, it might just be really busy with installiing
[20:36] <ZykoticK9> haresh, yes
[20:36] <DasEi> haresh: Is my experience least
[20:36] <Saevar> abhijit, thank's for trying
[20:36] <ratcheer> DasEi: I have successfully burned and used many CD iso's to DVD RW
[20:36] <abhijit> Saevar, yah.
[20:36] <wessel> oh
[20:36] <wessel> I terminated it xD
[20:36] <wessel> how long do I need to wait?
[20:36] <wessel> I waited like 3 minutes
[20:37] <haresh> no wonder was getting the error unable to find a medium containing a live file system
[20:37] <DasEi> haresh : anyway, usb is faster, if machine boots it and stick got least 1 gb, and saves a medium
[20:37] <maco> wessel: installation itself takes 15minutes to an hour depending on the hardware...
[20:37] <wessel> I'm now doing run ubuntu from usb
[20:37] <wessel> it goes gray again
[20:37] <maco> wessel: like after you hit the "go ahead" (or whatever it says) button at the end of the install wizard
[20:37] <wessel> after the * * * * * {o} screen
[20:37] <unclemantis> ok i need a dumb answer. How do i view my apache server log file and when an error is written view the update
[20:37] <unclemantis> you know, scrolling like
[20:38] <Pici> unclemantis: Can you rephrase that question? I'm not sure what you're asking.
[20:38] <DasEi> cablop: does it work after a reboot ?
[20:38] <ZykoticK9> maco, i interpret wessel's * to mean Plymouth, perhaps X is failing to start?
[20:38] <Snandy> When using dmraid, I can't use any triggers, it keeps telling me "ERROR: you must be root"  So how do I gain root to mess around in terminal?
[20:38] <unclemantis> i want to view the contents of error.log as well as any updates to it
[20:38] <unclemantis> monitor it
[20:38] <Pici> Snandy: sudo -i
[20:38] <DasEi> Snandy: sudo as a prefix it
[20:38] <wessel> maco: I start my pc, it boots from usb, asks options like start from usb, or install ubuntu to hard disk
[20:39] <Pici> unclemantis: tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log
[20:39] <maco> ZykoticK9: oooh
[20:39] <wessel> i hit start from usb
[20:39] <DasEi> Snandy: sudo dmraid -a
[20:39] <Snandy> Pici: Thanks   What is "sudo"?
[20:39] <unclemantis> tail... right
[20:39] <Pici> !sudo | Snandy
[20:39] <DasEi> !sudo
[20:39] <unclemantis> thanks :)
[20:39] <wessel> it shows the ubuntu symbol --> {o} and 5 red dots * * * * *
[20:39] <maco> wessel: is it using an intel 8xx graphics chip?
[20:39] <DasEi> hehe
[20:39] <wessel> starts loading, and bam, gray
[20:39] <wessel> maco I think so
[20:39] <Snandy> !sudo
[20:39] <ZykoticK9> wessel, try selecting "try ubuntu" to get into Live Mode to see if that works, if it does, select the Install icon on the desktop
[20:39] <wessel> its centrino I think
[20:40] <Pici> Snandy: Just look at what ubottu said above ^^
[20:40] <maco> wessel: can you use an alternate install cd?
[20:40] <Snandy> ahhh
[20:40] <abhijit> !bot > Snandy
[20:40] <Snandy> SOrry, the text is going so fast here, I got lost
[20:40] <wessel> maco I don't have a cd burner here
[20:40] <DasEi> Snandy: also can /query ubottu, so keep the channel readable
[20:40] <maco> wessel: you might be hitting https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes if its an intel 8xx (umm... before 2004 or so)
[20:40] <tesuji> has anyone configued wifi without using networkmanager?  OR have you used networkmanager with a static?
[20:41] <Snandy> Thanks, makes sense now. I don't like just learning commands, I like learning why and how, so things make sense.
[20:41] <wessel> Inspiron 510m, Pentium M 755 (2.0 GHz, 2MB, 400MHz), 15.0” SXGA+ LCD Screen
[20:41] <wessel> its this
[20:41] <pandaren> f
[20:41] <DasEi> Snandy: in that info, factoids can be evoked just by their name, so !sudo here there is just sudo
[20:41] <Pici> DasEi: It doesn't hurt if you use the ! in pm.
[20:41] <ZykoticK9> maco, i'd really encourage wessel to try a live environment to see if it works (would indicate a problem/get solution prior to actual install)
[20:42] <tesuji> has anyone configued wifi without using networkmanager?  OR have you used networkmanager with a static?
[20:42] <wessel> ZykoticK9: what you mean live mode?
[20:42] <DasEi> Pici:but then I would be faster ;-)
[20:42] <ZykoticK9> wessel, like a LiveCD or in your case a LiveUSB
[20:42] <wessel> don't I have this already?
[20:42] <tesuji> has anyone configued wifi without using networkmanager?  OR have you used networkmanager with a static?
[20:42] <wessel> it asks "run ubuntu" from usb..
[20:42] <ZykoticK9> wessel, yes select Try Ubuntu instead of install
[20:42] <wessel> I did, goes gray
[20:42] <ZykoticK9> wessel, then "run ubuntu" my bad
[20:43] <ZykoticK9> wessel, right - you have an xorg issue for sure.
[20:43] <wessel> xorg? :-/
[20:43] <DasEi> tesuji: again, edit inerfaces
[20:43] <maco> ZykoticK9: well a live one wont boot :P in cases where that happens, alternate is the only way to go, then you can repair from there
[20:43] <ZykoticK9> wessel, maco intel issue may apply
[20:43] <ZykoticK9> maco, true
[20:43] <maco> wessel: xorg = the graphics system
[20:43] <wessel> k
[20:43] <tesuji> DasEi, that's good for setting up a wired link but wifi needs a key
[20:43] <wessel> can this be fixed?
[20:44] <ZykoticK9> maco, just recommending downloading another ISO if not required, is kinda...
[20:44] <maco> wessel: the screen where it asks...looks fully graphical? or is a solid screen with a list of options?
[20:44] <wessel> where it asks what?
[20:44] <wessel> boot from usb?
[20:44] <abhijit> tesuji, i dunno but thsi can be any help? I am not sure but just look https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZeroConfNetworking
[20:44] <wessel> looks normal
[20:45] <maco> wessel: is it a window on top of a purple background?
[20:45] <wessel> looks very similar to this
[20:45] <DasEi> tesuji: wpa ?
[20:45] <wessel> http://www.pendrivelinux.com/wp-content/uploads/Ubuntu-Server-USB.jpg
[20:45] <wessel> ofcourse not with server
[20:46] <ZykoticK9> wessel, do you happen to know what version of ubuntu you are installing?
[20:46] <tesuji> abhijit, that's for ad-hoc.  what i need is to use networkmanager to discover and link to the wifi, but not accept dhcp settings
[20:46] <erkan^> who have blogtk too?
[20:46] <abhijit> tesuji, ok
[20:46] <wessel> http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/sshot110.png

[20:53] <Lemmiwinks>  Hi there, I've got a pretty nasty problem with my Ati radeon 8500 under Jaunty, using the radeon driver. The xserver randomly fails to start, resulting in a black screen.
[20:53] <Lemmiwinks>  I found out that it could have something to do with the AGP Mode.I played around a lot with the bios settings that are somehow related to AGP but with no luck.
[20:53] <ZykoticK9> wessel, is your mouse working when you see this background?  if so xorg is working.  maco
[20:53] <wessel> I made some photos
[20:53] <wessel> i'll upload them
[20:53] <Lemmiwinks> I did the same in xorg.conf (AGP Modes, AGPfastwrite...) but with no luck too.Anyone an idea?

[20:57] <digitalfiz> welinux, i cant get the email with the download stuff in it. i dunno why. I got the account creation email
[20:57] <wessel> this is the purple screen I get: http://devio.us/~wessel/dell510/IMG_1332.JPG
[20:57] <Snandy> Why is Ubuntu asking me for passwords on Windows network shares that are not passworded?
[20:58] <kbmaniac> hi, ubuntu one, new installof 10.04, sync complete but still not synced all files as displayed on web interface, any  ideas ?
[20:58] <ZykoticK9> wessel, maco that's only Plymouth that's purple, not xorg.
[20:58] <slow-motion> hi
[20:58] <welinux> digitalfiz: I'll try to I like VMWare player
[20:58] <digitalfiz> welinux, thank you :D
[20:58] <maco> ZykoticK9: the wallpaper in X is purpley...
[20:58] <wessel> I'm not really sure what to do from here...
[20:58] <wessel> install suze? XD
[20:59] <ZykoticK9> maco, see the screenshot ;)
[20:59] <haresh> any one can help
[20:59] <ZykoticK9> maco, this one http://devio.us/~wessel/dell510/IMG_1332.JPG
[20:59] <wessel> ZykoticK9: its not a screenshot, its a photo with a photo camera
[20:59] <maco> ZykoticK9: oh i see
[20:59] <ZykoticK9> wessel, of course!  you'd need a framebuffer screenshot program running before the system started!  impossible.
[21:00] <maco> wessel: this is called geeks forgetting about the world taht existed before computers ;-)
[21:00] <haresh> when i run the cd tp install ubentu it just stop at unable to find a medium containing a live file system
[21:00] <abhijit> haresh, just repeat your questions after some apprx 10 min rather than saying 'anyone can help'
[21:00] <haresh> okei
[21:00] <maco> ZykoticK9: in this new world of booting that has the "try" option in a window instead of on the boot splash plymouth thingy... is it possible to modify kernel boot parameters?
[21:00] <maco> ZykoticK9: if so, wessel could try disabling kms
[21:01] <DasEi> haresh: you burned the md5sum-checked cd on a cd-medium ?
[21:01] <haresh> yeah
[21:01] <ZykoticK9> maco, hold shift on Grub2 and enter "text" as a kernel parameter
[21:01] <maco> ZykoticK9: er... there's grub on the cd?
[21:01] <DasEi> haresh: did you try the cd's self-test also ? verify medium ?
[21:02] <haresh> yeah i did
[21:02] <haresh> it passed
[21:02] <ZykoticK9> maco, LOL good point!  not sure?  oops
[21:02] <pieter_> hello
[21:02] <jimdefied> greetings!
[21:02] <DasEi> haresh: so you can try some bootoptions, still, starting with ACPI=OFF
[21:02] <maco> ZykoticK9: to turn off kms you need:  i915.modeset=0       <-- that added to end of kernel boot params, but i dont know how to do that on lucid CDs :-/
[21:03] <haresh> hmm ok
[21:03] <haresh> brb
[21:03] <Watson516> After grub loads, my numlock turns off for all operating systems installed. Is this a grub fix or bios fix I should be looking for?
[21:03] <jimdefied> I'm curious if anybody has heard of an issue with lshw on 10.10
[21:03] <oCean_> jimdefied: maverick discussion in #ubuntu+1
[21:03] <jimdefied> thank you
[21:03] <hobbsc> i've got ufw turned off and i'm running motion.  it's listening on ports 80 and 8081. i can connect to both ports locally, but not from another machine on the same subnet.  i can ssh into the machine from other boxes on the same subnet, though
[21:03] <wessel> its still running windows still fine xD
[21:03] <wessel> windows XP
[21:03] <hobbsc> anyone have any idea how i can open those ports so that other boxes can get to it
[21:04] <trism_> maco: it's the same as on other cds, you just need to hit some button to get the menu back (maybe escape?)
[21:04] <pieter_> can anyone tell me if its possible to see how much power a usb device is drawing?
[21:04] <wessel> when I boot from hard disk that is, so I'm not sure about this grafics controller talk, ... but seems to me I should get a different version of ubuntu
[21:04] <ZykoticK9> maco, i just tested in VM Lucid LiveCD hold shift bring up the "boot graphics" option.
[21:04] <wessel> a version of unbutu that has different graphic drivers
[21:04] <ZykoticK9> maco, and kernel parameters
[21:05] <maco> trism_: previous CDs and the kubuntu cd have a "options" menu at the bottom if you hit f6
[21:05] <liaoshengshu> 都说英文
[21:05] <maco> !cn | liaoshengshu
[21:05] <maco> ZykoticK9: can you tell wessel how to get to that?
[21:07] <grendal_prime> nevermind DasEi. I figured it out . just some stupid firewall issue had nothign to do with my configs at all...crap..ok done now though
[21:07] <ZykoticK9> wessel, hold SHIFT down after selecting your boot device (right after BIOS by default) you should get a menu choice.
[21:07] <wessel> yes
[21:07] <DasEi> !yay | grendal_prime
[21:07] <wessel> where I do this?
[21:07] <wessel> in the bios?
[21:07] <wessel> for me its F12
[21:07] <wessel> to select bootable device
[21:07] <trism_> maco: I'm pretty sure that is still there, it's just that the isolinux/syslinux menu isn't shown by default, you have to hit some button that I can't remember to get to it on the purple screen (I originally needed nomodeset, which was in the f6 menu)
[21:08] <cilly_> okay I'm trying to get the z35 driver to work.  According to the tutorial, I type /usr/lib/cups/backend/z35 at the terminal and the output should be direct z35:/dev/usb/lp0 “Lexmark Inkjet color printer” “Lexmark Printer”  It returns nothing.  Anyone know whats going on?
[21:08] <maco> wessel: dont go *into* the bios
[21:08] <wessel> ZykoticK9: I'm selecting USB
[21:08] <wessel> and then I'm gonna hold shift
[21:08] <maco> wessel: just after you see the bios thing, hold shift down so that the ubuntu catches that while it's booting
[21:08] <wessel> so I hold shift before I get the choice screen
[21:08] <AviMarcus> darn. only 20 minutes of scrollback. I'd like software to sychronize two folders, which also deletes files. Any suggestions?
[21:08] <wessel> k
[21:08] <ZykoticK9> wessel, after bios - you should see "Load boot graphics" if you held shift properly.
[21:09] <wessel> nope didn't get it
[21:09] <wessel> and I was pretty fast
[21:09] <ZykoticK9> wessel, don't tap, hold shift down is my only hint
[21:09] <wessel> it just goes to "automatically boot in 5 seconds"
[21:10] <wessel> I'm now in the choice menu, "run ubuntu from this USB" etc
[21:10] <wessel> I need press shift before this right?
[21:10] <cablop> ZykoticK9, DasEi i just reboted now... now i got screen again, ut i guess it's not the nvidia driver... also it's whowing the spalsh screen... butt i told it to not to do... weid
[21:10] <wessel> [Installer boot menu]
[21:10] <ZykoticK9> wessel, autoboot hit enter - then try holding shift down
[21:10] <haresh> still the same bro
[21:11] <ZykoticK9> cablop, proprietary nvidia destroys Plymouth (boot splash) - fact of life i'm affraid.
[21:11] <DasEi> cablop: good enough to edit a file ?
[21:11] <wessel> hmm
[21:11] <wessel> its booting windows
[21:11] <wessel> I need to go in bios xD
[21:11] <DasEi> !who | haresh
[21:11] <wessel> and change boot order
[21:11] <FloodBot3> wessel: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:11] <cablop> in fact i want to remove that plymouth thing
[21:11] <haresh> sorry
[21:11] <haresh> DasEi, still the same
[21:12] <Snandy> Is there an app that will burn an ISO from a network share?
[21:12] <digitalfiz> welinux, i finally got it but its a .bundle i habe no idea what to open it with lol
[21:12] <DasEi> haresh: So.. wrong architecture maybe (386/64 ?)
[21:12] <cablop> ZykoticK9: then next step is... i think i have no nvidia drivers, and no way to detect if i have nvidia...
[21:12] <wessel> k I got it
[21:12] <SCD[Eire]> Hey guys. Cheese can see my webcam but no other program can. How can I fix this? :P the webcam is located in /dev/video0
[21:12] <haresh> DasEi, 386
[21:12] <DasEi> cablop: good enough to edit a file ?
[21:12] <ZykoticK9> Snandy, any app could, but you're likely to run into issue burning across a network, unless it's real fast!
[21:12] <cablop> yep, i can edit a file
[21:12] <wessel> what I type there?
[21:12] <wessel> SYSLINUX 3.86
[21:13] <welinux> digitalfiz: I'm only downloaing :) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Player
[21:13] <DasEi> haresh: that should run on both, so then try the alternate cd, that boots on "exotic" hardware easier
[21:13] <wessel> Unknown keyword in configuration file: gfxboot
[21:13] <Snandy> I have burned off of the network plenty of times. But the default burner just told me "not supported by backend"
[21:13] <wessel> boot: _
[21:13] <ZykoticK9> cablop, System / Admin / Hardware Drivers
[21:13] <cablop> i thought that the kernel upgrade did that.... maybe... i'll stick to security updates only then :(
[21:13] <haresh> my spec is a old spec
[21:13] <cablop> ZykoticK9: yes, i'm in that place, but it's not detecting my card
[21:14] <DasEi> cablop: no need, dkms will take care of it
[21:14] <Spec> haresh: Well, here, I'm a new spec.
[21:14] <DasEi> !alternate | haresh
[21:14] <wessel> ZykoticK9, maco: I'm in the menu [SYSLINUX], now what?
[21:15] <haresh> DasEi, http://ubentu.pastebin.com/z2tgdv8c my spec
[21:15] <karlo> I created account on ubuntu one (on web-site), but I do not know how to log in ubuntu one on my computer (system/preferences/ubuntu one)
[21:15] <welinux> digitalfiz:  sudo chmod +x ./VMware-Player-2.5.1-126130.i386.bundle  && gksudo bash ./VMware-Player-2.5.2-156735.i386.bundle
[21:16] <DasEi> haresh: nothing too exotic, though your ati will only support fglrx
[21:16] <haresh> DasEi, so what do u recommand me to do ?
[21:16] <DasEi> haresh: also desktop should work there, but as said, alternate supports wider variety, so try that
[21:16] <newbli> hi all
[21:16] <newbli> svn-server-sent-unexpected-return-value.html
[21:16] <newbli> any help?
[21:17] <DasEi> haresh: there is no usb-thumb in your range ?
[21:17] <haresh> DasEi, what do u mean
[21:17] <cablop> well, my problem is no nvidia card in hardware drivers...
[21:17] <DasEi> haresh: have you got a usb-stick of least one GB ?
[21:17] <haresh> nope
[21:18] <DasEi> haresh: k, then d/l the alternate iso and burn again on slow speed
[21:18] <digitalfiz> welinux, ty :)
[21:18] <wessel> "maco, i just tested in VM Lucid LiveCD hold shift bring up the "boot graphics" option."  <-- I don't have no boot graphics option
[21:18] <cablop> how good could be to use the linux-server kernel in a desktop cmputer?
[21:18] <maco> wessel: do you have an option to modify kernel parameters?
[21:18] <maco> wessel: or the boot line?
[21:18] <haresh> DasEi, is this the file http://mirrors.cytanet.com.cy/linux/ubuntu/releases/10.04/ubuntu-10.04-alternate-i386.iso
[21:18] <maco> wessel: something like that?
[21:18] <wessel> boot line
[21:18] <DasEi> haresh: yes
[21:18] <wessel> ls, could not find kernel ls..
[21:18] <wessel> boot:
[21:19] <haresh> DasEi, ok thanks
[21:19] <DasEi> cablop: no problem, but that won't be your problem
[21:19] <DasEi> !headers
[21:19] <welinux> digitalfiz: where is Linux version to download ? lol ^)
[21:19] <karlo>  I created account on ubuntu one (on web-site), but I do not know how to log in ubuntu one on my computer (system/preferences/ubuntu one)
[21:19] <cablop> i'm tryoing to setup a computer as temporary development station and after a few time move to files server
[21:19] <wessel> maco, boot:
[21:19] <wessel> maco: boot ls
[21:19] <cablop> then i think i can update the server...to mmm
[21:19] <wessel> maco: Could not find kernal image: ls
[21:19] <cablop> anyway
[21:20] <digitalfiz> welinux, once you get the email the link it gives will send you to the page where you have a choice of different windows and linux versions
[21:20] <DasEi> cablop: I suggest that, also build-essential, then d/l driver from nvida, then same again (out of x nvidia-config, reboot)
[21:20] <maco> ZykoticK9: uhhh do you know what to do next? ive not done this before...
[21:20] <DasEi> cablop: shall we try it ?
[21:20] <abhijit> ok. bye all! :)
[21:20] <thune3> karlo: did you go through all instructions in https://one.ubuntu.com/support/installation/  ?
[21:20] <cablop> let me understand all the steps
[21:20] <DasEi> cablop: I'll guide you step by step ..
[21:21] <cablop> i think i'll enable a few repos here, then installla server jkernel, then reboot and then do what you are telling me, does that sound ok?
[21:21] <DasEi> cablop: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential
[21:21] <Hoober> hello i have a problem. Where is ubuntu software to meet hot chix? i already customized my ubuntu desktop, so i am pretty much in fashion
[21:21] <welinux> digitalfiz: too long                                   anyway happy you've it
[21:21] <DasEi> cablop: 32 or 64 bit ?
[21:22] <cablop> 32bit
[21:22] <Hoober> I have Ubuntu LTS 10.04
[21:22] <cablop> and old hardware
[21:22] <Hoober> how do i access hot girls
[21:22] <Hoober> from software center
[21:22] <cablop> sudo apt-get install sex-apeal XDDDDD
[21:22] <Hoober> do they
[21:22] <Hoober> have a profile too
[21:22] <Hoober> like i want to meet them
[21:23] <DasEi> cablop: call in browser : http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-ia32-256.44-driver.html
[21:23] <Oer> !ot | Hoober
[21:23] <ZykoticK9> maco, it sounds like wessel is at a grub boot prompt - i'm really not sure how to proceed from there!  My Lucid CD seems to get a very differnt kernel boot option then wessel is getting?
[21:23] <Hoober> This is a ubuntu problem
[21:23] <Oer> hoober, no it is not.
[21:23] <DasEi> cablop: d/l to desktop
[21:23] <Hoober> trust me i installed ubuntu for this purpose
[21:23] <Daekdroom> !troll | Hoober
[21:23] <wessel> ZykoticK9: so where I download this Lucid CD?
[21:23] <DasEi> cablop: say when done
[21:23] <ZykoticK9> wessel, maco - sorry that's right!
[21:23] <cablop> DasEi, give me a sec, i need to move it from the netbook to the pc
[21:24] <maco> ZykoticK9: clearly i need to buy more broken hardware so i can learn how to fix this stuff...
[21:24] <DasEi> sure
[21:24] <Hoober> so that is what a troll is
[21:24] <Hoober> i never would of known
[21:24] <wessel> maco: omg, my hardware is not broken..
[21:24] <kenwiliest> why... why does pkg_add keep freezing... and every time i make install clean a x11/ gnome2/ etc etc port (dealing with graphics) it never works...
[21:24] <DasEi> !support > Hoober
[21:24] <wessel> it runs windows fine
[21:25] <maco> wessel: i dont mean broken-support-in-linux
[21:25] <wessel> ZykoticK9: what is Lucid CD anyways...
[21:25] <ZykoticK9> maco, and example boot line would be like "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-26-k7 root=/dev/hda1 ro quiet splash noapic nolapic" which you could add the i8 intel fix too - but i'm not sure how you find the kernel info for wessel's system to put in there.
[21:26] <maco> wessel: ive been buying explicitly-linux-compatible hardware long enough that my what-to-do-when-its-not-supported-right pile of knowledge is like 3 years out of date
[21:26] <wessel> I think I ran suze once
[21:26] <wessel> on this laptop
[21:26] <wessel> without any problem
[21:26] <SCD[Eire]> Hey guys. Cheese can see my webcam but no other program can. How can I fix this? :P the webcam is located in /dev/video0
[21:27] <Snandy> dmraid will not activate my raids. Is there another option for a hardware based raid?
[21:27] <wessel> ZykoticK9: can't find boot image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-26-k7
[21:28] <cablop> DasEi:downloading the driver, and installing new kernel
[21:28] <ZykoticK9> SCD[Eire], someone last night had a similar issue and fixed it by running "qcset /dev/video0 compat=dblbuf"
[21:28] <wessel> or kernel image... I can't read this fast
[21:28] <kenwiliest> when i startx, i have a basic tribox gui with a login/xterm/xterm box... how do I get it to look normal???
[21:28] <alynn> hi, how can i transfer files from pidgin to yahoo messenger?
[21:28] <haresh> how to erase a dvdrw  ah ??
[21:28] <ZykoticK9> wessel, that isn't right for your system.  the kernel part /boot/vmlinux-BLAH
[21:28] <DasEi> cablop: when done : sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[21:28] <DasEi> haresh : use k3b
[21:29] <fenix> =)
[21:29] <SCD[Eire]> Thanks ZykoticK9, I'll try it now
[21:29] <cablop> DasEi: which prefered repositories? ubuntu-security or ubuntu-updates?
[21:29] <ZykoticK9> wessel, that was only an example - some changes would need to be made, for example root=/dev/hda1 is probably incorrect as well.
[21:29] <DasEi> haresh: or are you on windows ?
[21:29] <chrislabeard> hey guys, I'm trying to run a LAMP server and I cannot figure out how to allow apache to write to files in my directory, If i make the owner of the directory _www it works but then I can't add or edit files. Any ideas?
[21:29] <haresh> Ubentu
[21:29] <tweepcat_> hey
[21:29] <DasEi> cablop: both
[21:29] <haresh> DasEi, on ubentu
[21:30] <fenix> right =)
[21:30] <DasEi> haresh: sudo apt-get install k3b && k3b
[21:30] <fenix> good look bye =)
[21:30] <ZykoticK9> SCD[Eire], someone else suggested turning cheese on (to turn the camera on) - then try other programs
[21:30] <haresh> DasEi, thanks
[21:31] <cablop> dasei, i disabled proposed and backports for stability, but  synaptic prefers one o the ones i left there... or ubuntu or security... cause it'lll be a server in the future i won't stress on keeping it up to date rather to keep it stable
[21:31] <jd__> <---Question if anyone is available
[21:31] <Black_Prince> !ask | jd__
[21:31] <jd__> if a laptop employing vm workstation7 is limited to 4 gigs of ram, would a dedicated swap file be possible to use as a means of increasing the guest's resources?
[21:31] <tweepcat_> i need some help: gparted isn't reading any partitions, so i cant install ubuntu - look at this: http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=165569&d=1281038904
[21:31] <DasEi> cablop: sounds fine
[21:31] <SCD[Eire]> Neither worked ZykoticK9
[21:31] <tweepcat_> the partitions are there, but gparted doesn't see them
[21:31] <DasEi> cablop: does apt complain now ?
[21:31] <mysterydesigner> join #elementary
[21:32] <DasEi> cablop: when done : sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade               < runs through fine ?
[21:32] <ZykoticK9> SCD[Eire], sorry man that's all i got - it was from someone else last night.  good luck.
[21:32] <cablop> dasei, so maybe to keep security as prefered would be ok, apt? no, i'm still installing the kernel... that grub update takes much time :(
[21:32] <SCD[Eire]> Cheers anyway man <3 :)
[21:32] <cablop> heh?
[21:32] <DasEi> cablop: sure
[21:32] <f0g> On my fresh install, after reboot, the system just sits at a blank screen with a flashing cursor.  No grub menu ever shows up, but grub-install /dev/sda (booted into a livecd to do it) works fine.

[21:34] <alynn>  how can i transfer files from pidgin to yahoo messenger?
[21:34] <f0g> DasEi: I can boot a live cd. I've reinstalled grub... three times.
[21:34] <f0g> No go.

[21:39] <systemd0wn> andrew_2, if you're just using it for a backup i would make a script that compresses the home directory and then puts that file into the dropbox folder
[21:39] <andrew_2> systemd0wn: Just what I was asking ;p
[21:39] <XunZi> I just installed handbrake-gtk but the command still can not be found.
[21:39] <tweepcat_> anybody??
[21:39] <andrew_2> But I realise I also have a seedbox slice that'd probably be better suited for backing up to, to be fair
[21:40] <Lisa__> i have folders with names like "My Own Photos" how can i enter names like these into the cp command?
[21:40] <DasEi> XunZi: did you compile it from source ?
[21:40] <tensorpudding> Lisa__: you need to backslash escape the spaces
[21:40] <tensorpudding> like My\ Own\ Photos
[21:40] <XunZi> DasEi, nope, I added the handbrake dailysnapshot ppa
[21:40] <Oer> tweepcat_, fdisk is showing fine, why won't gparted show any ? did you use 'sudo gparted' ??
[21:40] <systemd0wn> tweepcat_, does it recognize the HDD just not the partitions?
[21:41] <andrew_2> Lisa__: Do what tensorpudding said, or you can wrap in "
[21:41] <cablop> dasei give me a few minutes, i'll try to apt pin lkucid before updatng it
[21:41] <tweepcat_> i dont know
[21:41] <Lisa__> so "My\ Own\ Photos" ? ah ok thanks
[21:41] <DasEi> XunZi: I just looked it up, yes, there is a repo
[21:41] <thune3> tweepcat_: i could be wrong, your fdisk -l is weird sda3 has same start as sda5 and sda3 overlaps both sda5 and sda6. what am *I* misunderstanding here?
[21:41] <AviMarcus> where oh where did my eth0 go, oh where o where could it be? Some help, please?
[21:41] <ZykoticK9> systemd0wn, it shows it as unpartitioned space atucally.
[21:41] <tensorpudding> Lisa__: no, not both
[21:41] <jd__> if a laptop employing vm workstation 7 is limited to 4 gigs of ram, can a dedicated swap file (or something of that nature) be used to increase guest performance?
[21:41] <tensorpudding> Lisa__: either use the backslash escape, or put it in double quotes
[21:41] <systemd0wn> ZykoticK9, ah. well uhh.. he should make some partitions
[21:41] <systemd0wn> :)
[21:41] <tweepcat_> okay, how can i wipe the hard drive with all of it's partitions?
[21:42] <ZykoticK9> systemd0wn, "sudo fdisk -l" shows a bunch ;)
[21:42] <DasEi> XunZi: can you find it in the apps menu ?
[21:42] <systemd0wn> haha
[21:42] <Lisa__> ah yea i was trying to seperate that piece from the rest of my message thats why i used quotes.  thanks. im trying to copy files from a hard drive to another one but getting lots of errors
[21:42] <f0g> Just tried to reinstall grub again.
[21:42] <f0g> Still nothing.
[21:42] <f0g> What's going on!? :(
[21:42] <DasEi> fog:how you go ?
[21:42] <systemd0wn> Java Programmers here?
[21:42] <andrew_2> Lisa__: Spaces == new paramater, is what most CLI systems see.
[21:42] <f0g> DasEi: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[21:43] <Lisa__> systemd0wn, yes but only basicish
[21:43] <tweepcat_> how can i wipe the hard drive with all of it's partitions - the partitions are messed up and i have all data backed up
[21:43] <XunZi> DasEi, I found it. thx for the efford
[21:43] <DasEi> XunZi: get the brakes
[21:43] <c3l> every time I try to download a file via firefox I get this error /tmp/6N+jpP8M.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read.
[21:43] <systemd0wn> Lisa__, i'm just looking to compile a project i found online. I know some C programming but I'm not sure what compiles are common for java, etc
[21:43] <tweepcat_> guys, please help me
[21:44] <DasEi> f0g: boot live cd open a terminal
[21:44] <AviMarcus> $ sudo modprobe -r ssb -- FATAL: Module ssb is in use. How do I disable it?
[21:44] <Lisa__> systemd0wn, if you looking an easy option just use an application like eclipse
[21:44] <krzysztof> hi, can wnyone help me with installing intel gma 4500 drivers on ubuntu please
[21:44] <tweepcat_> how can i wipe the hard drive with all of it's partitions?
[21:44] <f0g> DasEi: Done.
[21:44] <mbeierl> Has anyone here tried to install the VMware infrastucture client under Wine?  I'm getting "err:msi:ACTION_CallDllFunction failed to load dll L"C:\\users\\mbeierl\\Temp\\msi9932.tmp" (998)" on the screen that asks me to select the destination folder and it never proceeds beyond that.  Is there something simple that I've overlooked?
[21:44] <DasEi> tweepcat_: I just followed with one eye, but a live cd, as you can't do partitions on a mounted drive
[21:44] <XunZi> DasEi, the command for handbrake is ghb :\
[21:44] <XunZi> it used to be handbrake
[21:44] <systemd0wn> Lisa__, I thought of eclipse I just wanted an easy command line like with C. :\
[21:45] <Lisa__> systemd0wn i have never used commands so couldnt help you if thats what you wanted. the java site does have good documentation thought
[21:45] <jd__> Lise_ : Try Anjunta
[21:45] <mbeierl> tweepcat_: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX where sdX is sda, sdb, etc for the device of the drive
[21:45] <deanimean> tweepcat_,  dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count =1 will wipe out the mbr and partition table.
[21:45] <krzysztof> hi, can wnyone help me with installing intel gma 4500 drivers on ubuntu please
[21:45] <DasEi> f0g: sudo fdisk -l
[21:45] <Lisa__> well if you have java on your machine javac is the command you want
[21:45] <DasEi> !paste
[21:45] <DasEi> f0g^
[21:45] <deanimean> gah, no space in count=1
[21:46] <Fluturas> pls can anyone help me ?
[21:46] <M1TE5H> how to take mbr backup
[21:46] <DasEi> !ask | Fluturas
[21:46] <c3l> every time I try to download a file via firefox I get this error /tmp/6N+jpP8M.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read." what could this be?
[21:46] <systemd0wn> Lisa__, I do appreciate it, ill try it out. rarely see a woman in the CS field. *thumbs up*
[21:46] <DasEi> M1TE5H: http://embraceubuntu.com/2005/10/20/backing-up-the-mbr/
[21:47] <nexus6__> is there a german ubuntu channel?
[21:47] <mbeierl> deanimean: tweepcat_ - the difference in the two commands is deanimean will wipe out the partition table, yes, but if you are looking for complete erasure of the whole drive (although forensic specialists can still get to the history somehow), you should "zero out" the whole device
[21:47] <jd__> can a dedicated swap file be used to increase vm guest performance in w/ workstation 7?
[21:47] <DasEi> !de | nexus6__
[21:47] <M1TE5H> DasEi: Thanks
[21:47] <DasEi> f0g: paste the out from sudo fdsik -l
[21:48] <DasEi> f0g: (l is lower L)
[21:48] <Fluturas> pls can anyone help me ?
[21:48] <filosofixit> My two internal NIC's went dead so I have put in two new NIC's, but they wont appear in ifconfig and the "old" NIC's are still there. I have disabled them in BIOS. Any ideas....
[21:48] <DasEi> f0g: paste the out from sudo fdisk -l  ,typo^
[21:49] <DasEi> filosofixit: does lspci show them ?
[21:49] <filosofixit> DasEi : Yes it does.
[21:49] <thune3> jd__: i personally don't see how it could increase the performance of the vm itself (unless the VM has fixed memory and is running out). Limiting the memory and setting dedicated swap (if your vm does that), would seem to be a way of preventing the vm from taking over your system memory, which reduces the performance outside the vm.
[21:50] <DasEi> filosofixit: kinda nics ? drivers needed or standard ones ?
[21:50] <f0g> On my fresh install, after reboot, the system just sits at a blank screen with a flashing cursor.  No grub menu ever shows up, but grub-install /dev/sda (booted into a livecd to do it) works fine.
[21:50] <DasEi> f0g: please follow instructions, so I canhelp
[21:50] <DasEi> f0g: paste the out from sudo fdisk -l  ,typo^
[21:50] <filosofixit> DasEi : Realtek PCIe 1000mb... should work fine
[21:50] <DasEi> filosofixit: yes
[21:51] <DasEi> filosofixit: not shown in ifconfig you say ?
[21:51] <f0g> The partitions are fine.  Grub is installed.
[21:51] <f0g> I wish it was that easy.
[21:51] <jd__> Thune3 : Agreed--- I looking to expand usable memory beyond that of it the guest's allocation. Say a 4 gig laptop
[21:51] <filosofixit> DasEi : nope... and the old ones appear in ifconfig still... weird
[21:52] <DasEi> f0g: obviously not, so let's recheck grub
[21:52] <DasEi> f0g: paste the out from sudo fdisk -l  ,typo^
[21:52] <krzysztof> does anyone know how to instal intel graphic drivers on ubuntu?
[21:52] <f0g> DasEi: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/mRqrpQxN
[21:53] <guntbert> krzysztof: 10.04 should be working with intel from the start
[21:54] <krzysztof> guntbert: how can i check if it is installed correctly?
[21:54] <filosofixit> DasEi :How can ifconfig "see" a NIC that has been disabled in bios?
[21:55] <guntbert> krzysztof: what is your problem?
[21:55] <filosofixit> DasEi : Should I reset my motherboard perhaps?
[21:55] <cablop> DasEi: well... i upgraded the kernel and i lost the graphic interface
[21:55] <cablop> sigh!
[21:55] <AviMarcus> any ideas on how to get back my eth0? perhaps ssb is an issue again, I don't know how to turn it off
[21:55] <DasEi> filosofixit: most prbly from interfaces
[21:55] <DasEi> f0g: so sdb is your main ubuntu ?
[21:56] <DasEi> filosofixit: let's just try to add the two nics
[21:56] <thune3> jd__: sounds worth trying. limit the vm memory to 2-3gig (let's say), and give it a big swapfile. (if your vm supports this). Worth a try I would say.
[21:56] <DasEi> filosofixit: dhcp ?
[21:56] <krzysztof> guntbert: some basic games looks shit, cant watch HD clips on youtube
[21:56] <Shact2> guys, how come I can't log is as root?
[21:56] <filosofixit> DasEi : yup
[21:56] <Shact2> i resent being locked out of my own system
[21:56] <cablop> DasEi: well, i rebooted and got gui again... this thing is so weird
[21:56] <DasEi> filosofixit: gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
[21:56] <f0g> DasEi: Yes.
[21:57] <guntbert> !language | krzysztof
[21:57] <DasEi> f0g: let me finish filos.. , brb
[21:57] <filosofixit> DasEi : I've tried that and doing "ifconfig ethX up" manually
[21:57] <DasEi> filosofixit: gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
[21:57] <Shact2> also, how do i unencrypt my home folder?
[21:57] <DasEi> filosofixit: open ?
[21:57] <Snandy> Is there version of linux that supports raid drives better? It has been 4 hours of trying and I can not get Ubuntu to mount my raid hard drives
[21:57] <Fluturas> pls can anyone help me ?
[21:57] <DasEi> Fluturas: see above
[21:57] <DasEi> !ask
[21:58] <krzysztof> guntbert: when i was on windows i was able to watch 1080p clips without problems
[21:58] <filosofixit> DasEi : My interfaces-file should be correct... I've tried eth0-5... nothing works :(
[21:58] <cablop> DasEi: done,
[21:58] <cablop> iu[pdated u[pgraded just with security packages, dunno how to pin now
[21:59] <krowten> whats the best data recovery tool to use to recover ubuntu files on another hard drive, using ubuntu os?
[21:59] <filosofixit> DasEi : I will try to do a reset on my motherboard so any "old" settings will be removed.... thanks anyways :)
[21:59] <DasEi> filosofixit: entries for eth0 -3 there ? like auto eth0 / iface eth0 inet dhcp    with "/" as a new line ?
[22:00] <guntbert> krzysztof: sorry, I am no expert with video performance
[22:00] <filosofixit> DasEi : Yup... it's all there
[22:00] <DasEi> cablop: sudo gdm stop
[22:00] <DasEi> filosofixit: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /etc/network/interfaces
[22:01] <DasEi> filosofixit: or has it no inet yet ?
[22:01] <DasEi> cablop: cd /home/$USER/Desktop
[22:01] <cablop> stopped... moving
[22:01] <DasEi> cablop: ls                    <<file nvidiablah.sh there ?
[22:01] <cablop> to the lication of the driver, right?
[22:01] <DasEi> y
[22:02] <cablop> yes it's there
[22:02] <ubuntu_> hello
[22:02] <DasEi> cablop: sudo sh nvidiabalah.run
[22:02] <ubuntu_> hi guys
[22:03] <DasEi> cablop: trowing erros ?
[22:03] <cablop> yes
[22:03] <DasEi> as ?
[22:03] <cablop> it says nouveau is enabled and i need to disable nouveau in order to continue
[22:03] <ubuntu_> how do i xubuntu..?
[22:04] <DasEi> cablop: sudo apt-get remove --purge nouveau-firmware
[22:04] <thune3> krowten: depends on what the problem with the hard-drive/filesystem is. This page (and many others elsewhere) show some strategies: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery
[22:04] <aeon-ltd> ubuntu: say wut?
[22:05] <cablop> mmmm, DasEi it wasn't installed
[22:05] <DasEi> cablop: first see what apt suggests by : sudo apt-get remove nvidia* --dry-run
[22:05] <krowten> thanks thune
[22:05] <DasEi> filosofixit: has the machine any inet at all now ?
[22:06] <converge> when is the next release of ubuntu?
[22:06] <DasEi> !maverick
[22:06] <kc8pxy> what can make my ubuntu "Randomly" kill the Xserver? sometimes it won't get past gdm,  other times it dies in the middle of an app,  other times, i'm only clicking on my mail icon. a few times it's died as my desktop is loading..   what is causing this?   CLI is fine.
[22:06] <cablop> DasEi: it selects a lot of nvidia packges but doesn't suggest anything
[22:06] <converge> DasEi, tks
[22:06] <DasEi> cablop: first see what apt suggests by : sudo apt-get remove nvidia*
[22:07] <filosofixit> DasEi : sorry... tryin somehing here now... will be back soon :) thanks for the help so far :)
[22:07] <cablop> and it's not suggestng anything
[22:07] <DasEi> cablop: sudo apt-get remove nvidia*
[22:07] <DasEi> f0g: so now we go
[22:07] <kc8pxy> it keeps "rebooting" back to a gdm prompt.  what could be in charge of these resets?
[22:07] <cablop> there's nothing to remove
[22:08] <DasEi> cablop: sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg_gone
[22:08] <DasEi> cablop: sudo touch  /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[22:08] <AviMarcus> hiya. uhm.. any ideas why my eth0 is missing? It worked fine with the live cd, when first installed, etc..
[22:08] <cablop> the installer didn't  finished, do i need to reboot?
[22:08] <llvllonk> is there no driver for Dell Studio 15 Wireless adapter Broadcom?
[22:09] <DasEi> f0g: terminal live cd open ?
[22:09] <converge> my nm-applet (network manager) do not reconnect, just connect the first time, in the second one i need delete the network and try again. its a know issue?
[22:09] <DasEi> cablop: no nouveau and no nvidia-packages installed and installer stopping ? strange.. try again after a reboot
[22:10] <cablop> i think it had something similar
[22:10] <DasEi> cablop: already in reboot ?
[22:10] <cablop> yes
[22:11] <DasEi> k, let go , then alt-ctrl-F1
[22:11] <thune3> AviMarcus: missing from network-manager only or missing from "ifconfig" output too?
[22:11] <Freudlund_> I did a bad thing, installed nvidia-185-glx, on top of modified driver that i modified, now i can't get to nvidia-xconfig, monitors OR Nvidia X server config
[22:12] <DasEi> cablop: sudo init 1
[22:12] <cablop> DasEi: `rebooted retrying to install driver
[22:12] <DasEi> f0g : ??
[22:13] <DasEi> cablop: where are we now ?
[22:14] <thune3> kc8pxy: what video chip do you have? "lspci | grep VGA"
[22:15] <cablop> DasEi: i'm in the folder of the nvidia driver installer
[22:15] <cablop> i can either retry the install or try the init 1...
[22:15] <DasEi> cablop: try init 1 one, case of broken packages
[22:15] <no--name> what are ~/Public and ~/Templates for?
[22:16] <DasEi> once*
[22:16] <Freudlund_> I remember when I tried to get my nvidia card setup, i blasklisted the nouveau driver somewhere, where might that have been?
[22:18] <Snandy> In DMRAID, when trying to mount my raid, it tells me "nvidia: wrong # of devices in RAID set" I have followed 5 guides now, they all end up in that error and no mount
[22:20] <DasEi> Freudlund: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
[22:20] <no--name> what are ~/Public and ~/Templates for?
[22:21] <thune3> no--name: you can put empty documents (set up how you want them) in ~/Templates. If you right click on desktop you can select "Create Document" and choose one of those files. ~/Public is a vestage for sharing files (if all other stuff in ~/ was locked down except ~/Public)
[22:21] <no--name> thune3: is it safe to delete them?
[22:21] <thune3> no--name: if you don't plan on using them, you may delete them.
[22:21] <no--name> ok cool =)
[22:22] <Freudlund_> DasEi, thx...
[22:22] <DasEi> cablop: so ran dpkg repair.. and then try the installer again ?
[22:25] <neil_ubuntu> reklamo talib :)
[22:25] <cablop> DasEi: i'm getting many errors give me some seconds... i'm reading some srst faild
[22:27] <CT1> Hi.  How can I disable middle click when I press left and right mouse buttons?  ie, I want middle click to be triggered ONLY when I actually click the middle button, not when I click left+right.
[22:27] <Dr_Willis> CT1:  thats a setting called 'mouse cording' (or chording), not sure where its set these days of No Xorg.conf
[22:28] <CT1> Thanks I'll try googling that
[22:29] <DasEi> cablop: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-185 if the driver won't install
[22:29] <cablop> the driver didn't install
[22:33] <JonathanYC> Hello! :D
[22:33] <JonathanYC> My ubuntu installation says Tcl is installed
[22:33] <JonathanYC> but I can't execute tcl scripts using tcl <scriptname>
[22:33] <JonathanYC> Could anyone help me with this?
[22:33] <cablop> dasei ok, i restarted this thing... then sudo init 1
[22:34] <Dr_Willis> JonathanYC:  and the error it gives is ?  output of 'tcl --version' is ?
[22:34] <cablop> but init 1 throw me that useless [plymouth thing!!!
[22:34] <JonathanYC> Dr_Willis: It says the tcl command is not present
[22:34] <JonathanYC> command not found :/
[22:34] <Dr_Willis> JonathanYC:  then sounds like TCL is not installed..
[22:34] <DasEi> cablop: boot safemode from grub then
[22:34] <JonathanYC> Dr_Willis: Yet it is
[22:34] <Dr_Willis> JonathanYC:  and what did you install?
[22:34] <JonathanYC> I just uninstalled it and reinstalled it twice. What more do you want? 8D
[22:35] <JonathanYC> Tcl of course
[22:35] <JonathanYC> This: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/tcl
[22:35] <cablop> ok dasei booting in recovery mode
[22:35] <JonathanYC> So the command would obviously be
[22:35] <JonathanYC> sudo apt-get install tcl
[22:35] <Dr_Willis> JonathanYC:  what was the exact package name you installed?
[22:35] <enzotib> JonathanYC: tclsh is the same?
[22:35] <JonathanYC> enzotib: No, tclsh is installed
[22:36] <JonathanYC> Dr_Willis: As I have already said, tcl.
[22:36] <JonathanYC> http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/tcl
[22:36] <haresh> DasEi, bro when i try it it say unable to mount cdrom
[22:36] <cablop> dasei repaired
[22:36] <DasEi> cablop: netroot
[22:36] <DasEi> cablop: try installing again
[22:36] <magicianlord> what is a good cli radio station player for music?
[22:37] <tesuji> what's a pastebin site that accepts binary files?
[22:37] <Dr_Willis> the 'tcl' package does not comntain a /bin/tcl or anytjhing named tcl -it has 2 binaries in it. (checking package manager)
[22:38] <Dr_Willis> JonathanYC:  try the command 'tcl8.4 whatever.tcl' perhaps?
[22:38] <JonathanYC> Also, the tcl version provided by the repository seems to not be able to run this TI provided script
[22:38] <JonathanYC> Dr_Willis: Yeah, tclsh seems to work
[22:38] <tesuji> pastebin oughta be called pastetext :) what's a pastebin site that accepts bins?
[22:38] <haresh> DasEi, bro keep getting stuck on detect and mount cd-rom
[22:38] <magicianlord> what is a good cli radio station player for music?
[22:38] <Dr_Willis> tesuji:  'bin
[22:38] <cablop> dasei, the downloaded installer or the other one?
[22:38] <Dr_Willis> tesuji:  'bin' as in 'tash can' perhaps.
[22:38] <DasEi> haresh: strange, faulty drive ?
[22:39] <tesuji> magicianlord, http://jango.com
[22:39] <magicianlord> tesuji: that works in console?
[22:39] <DasEi> cablop: try the d/l first
[22:39] <haresh> cant be it can load cds
[22:39] <tesuji> Dr_Willis, i do not understand you
[22:39] <haresh> DasEi, cant be i can load other and run windows all using it
[22:39] <DasEi> haresh: the cd starts bootin, then stops ?
[22:39] <Dr_Willis> tesuji:  the term 'bin' = 'a container'
[22:40] <tesuji> Dr_Willis, i need a pastebin site for binaries
[22:40] <JonathanYC> Fine, I'll actually ask the whole question:
[22:40] <purpleHaze> h
[22:40] <haresh> DasEi, it gose thru but then stuck on the mounting part and ask me to look for the path
[22:40] <JonathanYC> Has anyone here had success working with the eZ430 on ubuntu?
[22:40] <Dr_Willis> tesuji:  i use drop.io  for that . or  ubuntu one. but i rarely need tio share binaries
[22:40] <cablop> it says it can't run in runlevel 1 dasei
[22:40] <tesuji> dr_willis what about for screen shots to do diagnostics?
[22:41] <DasEi> cablop: ah sure, the modules won't be laoded there, exit, resume normal boot, log in in cmd line
[22:41] <tesuji> Dr_Willis, will pastebin work with drop.io
[22:41] <Dr_Willis> tesuji:  drop.io can do that.  and no drop.io is more then jsut a text pasteing service..
[22:42] <cablop> ok, in shell now and installing... DasEi
[22:42] <DasEi> cablop: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-185 if the d/l won't install
[22:42] <cablop> ok
[22:42] <Beastmode> hi guys, What do you reccommend I install on a 10 year old desktop with intel p4 1.5ghz and 256 rd ram? Should I install the normal ubuntu or do I need to install one of the other variations of ubuntu for it to be able to run smoothly? I would like to use the machine for web browsing and some word processing in another room for my dad to use. Thanks
[22:43] <cablop> DasEi: it seems to have been installed, no
[22:43] <cablop> w... dm start or reboot?
[22:44] <DasEi> cablop: sudo nvidia-xconfig
[22:44] <DasEi> cablop: afterwads sudo reboot
[22:44] <magicianlord> why does nvidia screw up the boto?
[22:44] <cablop> the installed ran it at the end... f that's the thing to create a xorg.conf
[22:44] <haresh> DasEi, it gose thru but then stuck on the mounting part and ask me to look for the path
[22:44] <magicianlord> when will this be fixed
[22:45] <th0r> magicianlord: just as soon as nvidia supplies sufficient information for some programmer to write a decent driver. Feel free to contact them and request that
[22:45] <cablop> magicianlord: i think it's not an nvidia problem, but ubuntu forcing all of us to use plymouth
[22:45] <DasEi> haresh: that's a little weird, I have no idea for now, apart from:
[22:45] <DasEi> !bootoptions
[22:45] <magicianlord> [thor]: we plan to conference call with nvidia about that
[22:46] <magicianlord> cablop: that is a big problem. ubuntu is no longer about choice
[22:46] <cablop> :(
[22:46] <Dr_Willis> The boot animation is a big problem?
[22:46] <cablop> yes, it is
[22:47] <cablop> not all of us need it, it interfers tooooooo much when trying to figure out what's happening to your drivers or boot or kernel at boot up
[22:47] <bogeyd6> Where can I go to see the list of updates for a particular ubuntu version, preferably in date order.
[22:47] <cablop> and if it crashes while you are dealing with a video broken dribver, it could leave your card into a non good state
[22:48] <haresh> DasEi, will this be the path for the cdrom when installing also /media/cdrom0 ??
[22:48] <Aemaeth> How do i get multiple wallpapers for each of my desktops
[22:48] <Aemaeth> using compiz
[22:48] <cablop> DasEi: i see a gui... but no effects enabled as before :S
[22:48] <Aemaeth> or any
[22:49] <DasEi> haresh : yes, but maybe the intrd or the kernel is not found
[22:49] <cablop> DasEi: wooooohooooo! thanks a lot, it's working now!
[22:49] <DasEi> cablop: rebooted already  ?
[22:49] <DasEi> cablop: hehehe
[22:50] <cablop> i lost all my compiz settings, but as long as i can work it's not a big deal!
[22:50] <DasEi> cablop: good vies then

[22:51] <mun> hi
[22:51] <mun> does anyone know which file gconf-editor modifies?
[22:51] <Aemaeth> so anyone heard of being able to have different wallpapers per desktop?
[22:52] <cablop> hehe, i have my system up and runningagain... an old computer running compiz and working as a server :D
[22:52] <ddilinger> Can anyone suggest a good tool for browsing an svn revision history in a web browser?  something similar to that used at code.google.com project hosting would be plenty
[22:52] <Aemaeth> tried several options/programs and haven't found anything with the configuration capabilities
[22:52] <Dr_Willis> Aemaeth:  in kde its easy.. in gnome.. its not..
[22:53] <trism> mun: the files in ~/.gconf
[22:53] <rooks> i want to disable nfs v3 and make only nfs v4 available, any ideas on how to do it?
[22:54] <mun> trism, do you know which ones are for the gnome panel?
[22:54] <Dante123> hi there.....1gb of memory.....how big should swap file be?
[22:55] <erUSUL> Dante123: 1 GiB
[22:55] <Dante123> not twice that?
[22:55] <erUSUL> Dante123: not needed
[22:55] <Dante123> ok
[22:55] <Dr_Willis> Dante123:  it depends on your ussage.. if you use hibnernate/suspend - perhaps 1gb or more..
[22:55] <Dante123> it is a laptop
[22:55] <Dr_Willis> Dante123:  if you got 1000000GB of HD space.. does it matter :)
[22:56] <Dr_Willis> Dante123:  so it all depends on how you are going to use it. I would say 1gb then.
[22:56] <Dante123> only have 30 gb to play with for /, /home and swap
[22:56] <Dr_Willis> Dante123:  at a min. 512mb. if HD space is tight.
[22:56] <Dante123> i think i will go 1gb....might use suspend/hibernate
[22:57] <Dante123> thanks for advice
[22:57] <nexus6__> is there a channel where you can talk about windows and linux without getting called a fanboy?
[22:57] <Dr_Willis> Dante123:  i never have hibernate/suspend work right for me. :()
[22:57] <Dante123> what size would you give the / directory with the os
[22:57] <Dr_Willis> nexus6__:   thats a ratjher broad topic...  theres alwyas #ubuntu-offtopic
[22:57] <nexus6__> ahh ok thanks
[22:57] <DasEi> nexus6__: #linux
[22:57] <Dr_Willis> Dante123:  i find my big systems / is about 10gb
[22:58] <Goldblade0> hi. alguuien q hable español?
[22:58] <Dante123> would 3gb get me by....
[22:58] <DasEi> !es
[22:58] <Dr_Willis> Dante123:   I would say 8gb at a min.
[22:58] <Dante123> si yo hablo espanol
[22:58] <Dr_Willis> Dante123:  it really SUCKS when / fills up
[22:58] <Dante123> private chat Goldblade0
[22:58] <Goldblade0> hola mira
[22:58] <thune3> Dante123: with only 30GB to play with, i might just put / and home on a single partition.
[22:58] <Goldblade0> tengo este problema con ubuntu q no me deja ver la web en apache en modo wan
[22:59] <Dr_Willis> Dante123:  i agree with thune3 ,  not much to gain with a /home/ in your case.
[22:59] <Dante123> okay
[22:59] <BluesKaj> !es | Goldblade0
[22:59] <rooks> i want to disable nfs v3 and make only nfs v4 available, any ideas on how to do it?
[23:00] <c00lryguy> Can someone help me out? I was following the instructions in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization#Cleanup and everything went fine until I got to the Cleanup section. When I ran `sudo umount edit/dev` It tells me that the device is busy
[23:01] <Aemaeth> i guess it's time to admit i'm probably never using kde, so any gnome fix?
[23:01] <Goldblade0> I have Windows 2003 as host, I have installed vmware server with ubuntu 9.10 to ubuntu you install apache and mysql, the problem is locally q webi let me see no problems, but not so wan, router ports and redirect the host,
[23:02] <Goldblade0> now vmware I have put in either nat as in bridge mode but in no way reveals the wan web, try opening all ports but not if it is safe for q ubuntu shows no open port. 2 days ago I walk with this problem and have not found the solution.
[23:02] <linux_op> HI
[23:02] <Goldblade0> excuseme my bad english
[23:02] <rooks> i want to disable nfs v3 and make only nfs v4 available, any ideas on how to do it?
[23:02] <Dasda> hi guys, What do you reccommend I install on a 10 year old desktop with intel p4 1.5ghz and 256mb rd ram? Should I install the normal ubuntu or do I need to install one of the other variations of ubuntu for it to be able to run smoothly? I would like to use the machine for web browsing and some word processing in another room for my dad to use. I will also be connecting to the internet using a wireless adapter. Th
[23:02] <Dasda> e machine has run windows xp in the past 5 years or so. Thanks
[23:02] <c3l> whats the difference between the permission 750 and 0750?
[23:02] <haresh> DasEi,  i try all the ways i can please help
[23:03] <linux_op> DOES ANYBODY KNOW HOW CONVERT OUTLOOK CSV TO THUNDERBIRD BIRD CALANDARD?
[23:03] <DasEi> haresh: next look would be bios, if the cd can be set in another way, like scsi or ide
[23:03] <linux_op> LIKE SDB OR ICS?
[23:03] <cage_raphel> c3l: pls follow http://meinit.nl/linux-permission-system-explained ..
[23:04] <DasEi> !caps| linux_op
[23:04] <linxeh> linux_op: you can probably do that with gmail if it helps
[23:04] <Aemaeth> Dasda, i would try xubuntu
[23:04] <KB1JWQ> linux_op: I THINK THAT THERE'S A CONVERT AVAILABLE IF YOU GOOGLE FOR IT. BY THE WAY, WHY ARE WE SHOUTING?
[23:04] <haresh> bios i did all the setting whihc i think can work its still now working
[23:04] <KB1JWQ> converter*
[23:04] <linux_op> didn't notice caps was on
[23:04] <linux_op> but
[23:04] <kermit> what's the typical motive for someone to submit patches?
[23:04] <Gto286> Dasda,  i have the Gnome(default) gui on a even older machine that's a 900mhz amd 512 ram. works just fine
[23:04] <linux_op> is there a software that can do it?
[23:04] <linux_op> my calandar is huge
[23:05] <will_> guys, my laptop fans is always running on low speed, even though I could cook an egg on it, can anyone help me
[23:05] <Dasda> Gto286: are you using 10.04?
[23:05] <Gto286> yes
[23:05] <Dasda> also what do you really loose when using xubuntu instead of ubuntu?
[23:05] <c3l> cage_raphel: thanks
[23:05] <kc8pxy> thune3:  ati radeon hd4350
[23:05] <thune3> 256MB is a tough squeeze for any variation of ubuntu. Of x/k/ubuntu, xubuntu would be the only one that might work. If there is any way to get to 512MB/1GB (cannibalize another machine), that would help greatly.
[23:05] <Gto286> no i,m using the ubuntu. no X
[23:05] <cage_raphel> c3l: you are welcome!
[23:05] <fidess> hi from Abidjan
[23:06] <Aemaeth> Dasda, he has 512, with 256 i'm not sure if ubuntu will even install, xubuntu needs less ram for install
[23:06] <Dasda> thune3: would creating a swap file work? the pc does have 2 hdds in it. One being 120gb and other is 250gb
[23:06] <kc8pxy> thune3:  it's an rv710
[23:07] <Dasda> same question for you Aemaeth, would a swap file work?
[23:08] <thune3> kc8pxy: is that one that supports fglrx?
[23:08] <Gto286> Dasda,  i would reccommend you try the Xubuntu on that machine since you so low on the memmory on that machine.
[23:08] <gra5si> is there a realtime-kernel which is as up 2 date as the vanilla kernel? nouveau is not supported in current rt-kernel...
[23:08] <Patric3> Can someone using lucid try a "ps aux |grep compiz" and let me know whether compiz is running with any args on their system ?
[23:09] <gra5si> Patric3: which version is lucid?
[23:09] <cage_raphel> Dasda: i would suggest u run " puppy Linux" .. it runs well on machines with low memory
[23:09] <Aemaeth> i have an old rack mounted server that had 256 and ubuntu wouldn't even install without it being xubuntu
[23:09] <Patric3> gra5si: 10.04
[23:09] <Gto286> i have puppy. but i find it more a ultility then a o/s
[23:09] <Dasda> Gto286, yea i will give xubuntu a try instead then. really would have loved to run ubuntu b/c of the tremendous suppor available as I will need it as a new user
[23:09] <cablop> ok, time to rest for a while
[23:09] <cablop> see you
[23:09] <cablop> and thanks
[23:09] <Aemaeth> maybe you could play with settings after the xubuntu install if you feel it's missing something from ubuntu, but idk if it could gnome, felt pretty much the same
[23:10] <Gto286> well Dasda  up the anty to at least 512. then you can run the reg ubuntu
[23:10] <kc8pxy> thune3:  yes.. i had fglrx runnign for at least a week now.    i recently upgraded from 8.04  and yesterday was the first update manager notice since. now i have the random resets.
[23:10] <gra5si> Patric3: i don't seem to use compiz... sorry
[23:10] <Patric3> np
[23:10] <cage_raphel> Dasda: did u try the " Damn Small Linux "
[23:10] <Dasda> Gto286: the mobo only supports rd ram and that has been discontinued
[23:10] <haresh> how to edit my source.list
[23:10] <Gto286> ah! ok
[23:11] <Dasda> <cage_raphel: no haven't tried anything yet, I just use xp for now
[23:11] <gra5si> is it possible to revert to an old package that has been updated?
[23:12] <gra5si> i think an update of the usb-libs has screwed my sound-stuff... and would like to go back before that libusb-update on 10.4
[23:12] <iceroot> gra5si: if you have the old package, yes
[23:12] <Dasda> i'lll run xubuntu on vmware on my windows 7 machine to see how it is
[23:12] <cage_raphel> Dasda: i seriously recommend damn small linux.. i have an another machine with 128 MB ram.. and a celeron processor..  damn small linux goes zooom on mine!
[23:12] <Aemaeth> rd ram? dell?
[23:12] <iceroot> gra5si: but normally you will have big fights with dependencies
[23:12] <gra5si> iceroot: the question is, do I have the old package..
[23:12] <gra5si> iceroot: it was just a minor security update...
[23:12] <Dasda> Aemaeth: no it was a custom build about 10 years ago, it was from rambus in partnership with intel
[23:12] <iceroot> gra5si: the repo dont have the old package, so you have to find the old version
[23:12] <Gto286> for me tho i have no dvd support :( i get errors like mpeg ect spit at me...
[23:13] <gra5si> iceroot: guess it was installed when i used the cd
[23:13] <thune3> kc8pxy: it sounds like X is crashing, and one prime suspect is video drivers. I might try reinstalling video drivers, but I can't think of a rational reason why that might help. You might also boot into the kernel that existed before updates (hold shift during boot and select older kernel) to see if that helps
[23:13] <gra5si> iceroot: thanks anyway
[23:14] <radi> hello
[23:14] <gra5si> hi
[23:14] <radi> does anyone here use kiba dock ?
[23:14] <Aemaeth> i use awn
[23:14] <sirwallis> hello
[23:14] <kc8pxy> thune3: rrrrrrrrrrrrr..... imo updates should not break things... but i hear you.
[23:14] <radi> Aemaeth: im asking for kiba, not awn
[23:14] <BluesKaj> Gto286, install ubuntu-restricted-extras , the medibuntu repository www.medibuntu.org , then install libdvdcss2
[23:15] <Aemaeth> what does kiba offer?
[23:15] <radi> funny physics
[23:16] <radi> is there a repo for lucid ?
[23:16] <thune3> kc8pxy: what does this output "lshw -c video 2>/dev/null | grep driver"
[23:16] <radi> i cant compile it ..
[23:16] <radi> i get this error
[23:16] <radi> /usr/bin/install: will not overwrite just-created `/usr/local/include/kiba-dock/kiba-desktop-icon.h' with `kiba-desktop-icon.h'
[23:16] <radi> and i cant find any info on the net
[23:17] <LinuxGuy2009> Is there any command line tool to download a package from the repositories along with every dependency. Ignoring the fact that some may already be installed on the system, I need every dependency to make a complete package repository CD/DVD.
[23:17] <BluesKaj> !repository | radi
[23:17] <kc8pxy> thune3: fglrx_pci
[23:17] <c3l> cage_raphel: so how do I print the sticky bit?
[23:17] <radi> i prefer to compile it actually
[23:17] <radi> anyone know how to fix that error ?
[23:17] <Goldblade> como es la sala en español?
[23:18] <Goldblade> xD
[23:18] <magicianlord> come estas?
[23:18] <magicianlord> como
[23:18] <BluesKaj> radi, compile a repository ?
[23:18] <BluesKaj> !es | magicianlord
[23:18] <radi> no BluesKaj , compile kiba
[23:19] <c3l> LinuxGuy2009: why dont you just list the dependencies?
[23:19] <Guest88088> hi all ,how can i install new thems for my ubuntu 10.4 ?
[23:20] <LinuxGuy2009> c3l: Listing is ok if I want to manually download each one. Is there any way to feed the list of deps to download them all?
[23:21] <Aemaeth> Guest88088, depends on the themes, can try right clicking the desktop to get your appearance settings, or use the system tab, and it has a section for importing themes
[23:21] <c3l> LinuxGuy2009: you want to foreceinstall dependencies that are already there? I dont think there is something that does that by default, I guess theres a better solution to your problem
[23:21] <thune3> kc8pxy: i feel there is a better answer and I haven't found it
[23:22] <LinuxGuy2009> c3l: Well no I dont want to re-install them at all. I just need a way to download a package, for example, VLC media player, and have it download to a folder along with every single dependency.
[23:22] <c3l> LinuxGuy2009: what is it you want to achieve?
[23:22] <BluesKaj> !kiba
[23:23] <kc8pxy> thune3:  thanks for responding to my plee for help. ubuntu works pretty nice,  but comming here to get help usually feels as simple, easy, and painless as pulling teeth from a shark.
[23:24] <LinuxGuy2009> c3l: I want to make an offline repo CD/DVD with APTonCD that contains Gnome, KDE, fluxbox, etc, along with many apps, and I want to make sure that no matter which desktop environment I install that non of the dependencies were missed when making the disk.
[23:25] <maco> LinuxGuy2009: i'd start from a minimal install with none of them, then install ubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop, fluxbox, and the other apps, then point aptoncd at your /var/cache/apt/archives/
[23:25] <maco> LinuxGuy2009: sudo aptitude install --download-only foo   <--- thatll download without installing
[23:25] <thune3> kc8pxy: just requires patience, you might try again in 15 minutes! if you can look at logs dmesg /var/log/syslog /var/log/Xorg.0.log after an incident you _might_ find some clues. You might just run updates again, just in case.
[23:25] <kermit> what's the typical motive for someone to submit patches?
[23:25] <haresh> can i install ubuntu without any cd or usb ???
[23:26] <maco> kermit: because it doesnt work and they want it to
[23:26] <maco> haresh: yes, pxe installs are supported
[23:26] <haresh> how can i go about doing that ?
[23:26] <thune3> kc8pxy: all the issues I could find don't seem to apply to your specific case.
[23:26] <will_> Guys, Ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop crashes to a blinking cursor after a while and my caps lock led starts blinking, can anyone help me with this?
[23:26] <erUSUL> kermit: becouse it is cool to say that you have a patch in the kernel ;P
[23:27] <c3l> maco: it seems that doesnt grab all dependencies, as I guess LinuxGuy2009 ran taht
[23:27] <maco> will_: that's a kernel panic. it's a bug
[23:27] <kermit> i'm still confused as to how all this software comes about :/
[23:27] <maco> c3l: it wont grab ones already installed. thats why i said start at a minimal install
[23:27] <magicianlord> kermit: what
[23:27] <Brack10> Hey
[23:27] <maco> kermit: #ubuntu-offtopic is the place for this
[23:27] <Brack10> Booting Ubuntu on different hardware than I installed it on.  Ethernet is missing.  How can I get it back?
[23:27] <kc8pxy> thune3:  yeah..  i seem to get that alot. it's probably a reason i use gentoo most often. all the problems in the system are then my fault,  and not the result of an "update" :-(
[23:28] <maco> kermit: but i suggest reading "Just For Fun" and "The Cathedral and the Bazaar"
[23:28] <will_> maco: that's what I tought, but is there a way to fix that, is it specific to some systems
[23:28] <kermit> maco: i thought this was the entire point of ubuntu
[23:28] <erUSUL> Brack10: lspci | grep -i net
[23:28] <husimon> hey i have an image someone gave me and when I try and load it up with kvm i get "kvm: unhandled exit 4400   kvm_run returned -22"
[23:28] <husimon> any ideas?
[23:28] <kermit> maco: ...if thats off-topic, then i'm even more confused
[23:28] <maco> will_: itll likely be a bug in how the kernel supports *your specific hardware* yeah.  so you need to file a bug
[23:28] <c3l> maco: ah, but there must be a way to do it without installing  a new system
[23:28] <maco> kermit: this channel is only for tech support
[23:28] <husimon> err i guess this is a bit off topic but i'm running it in ubuntu :P
[23:28] <kermit> maco: oh
[23:28] <Brack10> erUSUL: do you want the output or something?
[23:28] <maco> c3l: vm?
[23:28] <erUSUL> Brack10: yep
[23:28] <c3l> maco: still
[23:29] <will_> maco: well ok i'll do that, thanks :)
[23:29] <Brack10> erUSUL: It found my Ethernet card.  Too long to type
[23:29] <delaney_> hi
[23:29] <Brack10> Intel 82545EM Gigabit Ethernet
[23:29] <maco> c3l: there are tools to get dependency graphs. could feed one of those into aptitude's --download-only
[23:30] <LinuxGuy2009> maco: Biggest issue I think I may run into is if I use APTonCD to make a repo disk with apps installed on gnome environment, and then strip ouyt gnome and throw on KDE, that when I go to install one of the packages I put on the disk when I was in gnome, then maybe KDE might say hey your missing some stuff.
[23:30] <c3l> how do I show the 'special permissions' , the zeroth field in the octal number?
[23:30] <maco> LinuxGuy2009: thats why im saying to start at a minimal install. that is, one that doesnt yet have even X on it
[23:30] <maco> LinuxGuy2009: *just* ubuntu-minimal
[23:30] <erUSUL> Brack10: « sudo modprobe e1000 »
[23:30] <haresh> how can i go about doing that ?
[23:30] <maco> LinuxGuy2009: then your repo cd will have everything that goes on top of it
[23:30] <LinuxGuy2009> maco: Ok that sounds like a bulletproof way of doing it.
[23:31] <maco> will_: you can file a bug with "ubuntu-bug linux"
[23:31] <LinuxGuy2009> maco:  Thank you.
[23:31] <pradeep> hi everyone
[23:31] <maco> will_: have a look at https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Apport#How%20to%20enable%20apport for how to enable the crash-detector
[23:32] <maco> will_: if you use that, there's a chance itll catch a dump of what went wrong with the kernel which you can include in the bug report next time it happens
[23:32] <erUSUL> Brack10: does eth0 appear now ?
[23:32] <Brack10> erUSUL: not in ifconfig...
[23:33] <erUSUL> Brack10: "dmesg | tail -n20" shows any error ?
[23:35] <Brack10> erUSUL: no, it says a bunch of profile_load actions for network related stuff
[23:35] <Brack10> no errors
[23:35] <will_> maco: my comp just crashed again
[23:36] <will_> maco: I just finished rebooting
[23:36] <maco> will_: is there any method to the madness?
[23:36] <erUSUL> well according to http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/E1000.html e1000 is the driver for you nick; dunno why it does not work
[23:36] <LinuxGuy2009> maco: Whats the easist way to strip ubuntu down to minimal? tasksel and uncheck everything? Or aptitude?
[23:36] <digitalfiz> can anyone tell me where the nautilus scripts are stored?
[23:36] <will_> maco: sorry, what?
[23:36] <maco> LinuxGuy2009: i think just installing a minimal vm will be the easiest thing
[23:36] <maco> !mini | LinuxGuy2009
[23:36] <c3l> LinuxGuy2009: easiest way is to insatll a new minimal install
[23:37] <coz_> LinuxGuy2009,   mm  well  you could start in synaptic to uninstall things
[23:37] <maco> will_: is there a pattern to when it crashes?  like, when your hard disk is in heavy use? high network traffic? connecting to wifi? starting open office?
[23:37] <coz_> LinuxGuy2009,  other than that  I believe there is a version of ubuntu that is stripped down I cant recall its name
[23:37] <DasEi> LinuxGuy2009: use minimal installer, expert install, install no soft at all, then afterwards just desired packages from cmd-line
[23:37] <DasEi> !minimal
[23:37] <will_> maco: not really
[23:38] <coz_> DasEi,  ah yes that is a good way :)
[23:38] <LinuxGuy2009> Ok yeah minimal in a Vbox would make it very easy to do this. Thanks thats a great idea.
[23:38] <DasEi> there you go
[23:38] <SH-Chris> Hi, i seem to have a problem when i start ubuntu
[23:38] <SH-Chris> My display cuts out whenever i load ubuntu but teh audio works
[23:38] <maco> will_: darn. ok well file the bug, and someone will show up asking for more info and to try different things and whatnot as they try to sort out whats wrong
[23:38] <richthegeek> hey, my system is using 82% of RAM as a cache - considering I have 8gb of RAM, this seems excessive... I'm not doing any disk writes (so no bursting), but am playing a DVD
[23:39] <DasEi> SH-Chris: which g-card ?
[23:39] <will_> maco: i'll file it and hope people will help
[23:39] <SH-Chris> DasEi: GeForce 6150 LE
[23:39] <coz_> richthegeek,  dvd accounts for some of it but that does seem excessive
[23:39] <will_> maco: thanks a lot for caring
[23:39] <SH-Chris> DasEi: Built in chipset
[23:39] <richthegeek> coz_: yes indeed - also happens when I've got an NTFS drive mounted
[23:39] <DasEi> richthegeek: look up htop, sort pid's for mem to track the "eater"
[23:40] <DasEi> (F6)
[23:40] <coz_> richthegeek,  mm let me do external with ntfs and see if I get the same thing hold on
[23:40] <SH-Chris> DasEi: Funny how GRUB works though xD
[23:40] <llvllonk> anyone know how to get Broadcom wireless adapter to work?  Getting this error message: "SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory" ....my chip is  14e4:4315
[23:40] <DasEi> SH-Chris: propitary driver installed ?
[23:41] <pittstains1> there's a command to monitor when devices (USB, etc) are plugged in or unplugged, but i can't remember what it is
[23:41] <DasEi> !broadcom | llvllonk
[23:41] <pittstains1> or maybe i'm supposed to tail a certain file
[23:41] <pittstains1> anyone?
[23:41] <erUSUL> llvllonk: if you are connected via wired do « sudo aptitude install b43-fwcutter » reboot
[23:41] <DasEi> pittstains1: lsusb ?
[23:41] <coz_> richthegeek,  well its not using much of anything here  when I attache an external with ntfs   or ext4 or fat32 for that matter
[23:41] <SH-Chris> DasEi: I think so, i dont have any spare video cards and its a built in chipset with teh motehr board itself
[23:41] <erUSUL> pittstains1: tailf /var/log/messages
[23:41] <llvllonk> I did that yesterday, didn't work for me
[23:41] <will_> maco: crashed again :( I'm glad it's fast to boot
[23:42] <DasEi> SH-Chris: system>admin>hardwaredrivers or jockey-gtk as root from terminal
[23:42] <will_> maco: just like that, could it be due to overheating
[23:42] <maco> will_: possibly, yes
[23:42] <maco> will_: check the fan/heatsink for dust?
[23:42] <SH-Chris> DasEi: Im not on Ubuntu now, im on windows
[23:42] <erUSUL> llvllonk: maybe the device is blocked? what does  « sudo rfkill list » say ?
[23:42] <richthegeek> coz_: seems to be rhythmbox which is looking at my music on an ntfs drive
[23:42] <will_> maco: I just realized that my fan runs terribly slow
[23:43] <coz_> richthegeek,  ah that may account for alot of memory use
[23:43] <will_> maco: for my comp temperature
[23:43] <Aemaeth> i found out how to have multiple wallpapers on gnome
[23:43] <llvllonk> oh yea...it said my adapter only works in PIO mode for now?
[23:43] <DasEi> SH-Chris: this card is supported, can also d/l a driver from nv-homepage
[23:43] <basemonkey> is there a irc channel for damnvulnerablelinux?
[23:43] <Aemaeth> it's easy, why would someone tell me otherwise? INTERNET!
[23:43] <basemonkey> or is anybody here familiar with dvl?
[23:43] <richthegeek> coz_ but I have killed rhythmbox now and it's still major cache
[23:43] <ikonia> basemonkey: please don't be stupid in here
[23:43] <basemonkey> #linux forwarded me here
[23:43] <richthegeek> coz_ will now umount the drive
[23:43] <erUSUL> basemonkey: /msg alis list *searchterm*
[23:43] <ikonia> basemonkey: this channel is for serious ubuntu discussion only
[23:44] <coz_> richthegeek,  ooo  then I am puzzled  ...if no one can help here try the ##linux channel...someone there may be able to hunt down the culprit
[23:44] <llvllonk> sudo rfkill list ? command doesn't work
[23:44] <mtm> When is ubuntu going to make a website widgits people can use to list rooms on IRC so they dont have to wait to load 25,000 chatrooms?
[23:44] <SH-Chris> DasEi: I have teh driver for windows but how in teh world will i be able to do that with ubuntu if i can even see anything. As soon as ubuntu loads teh display cuts out and i can only hear sound
[23:44] <coz_> richthegeek,  do you have htop installd?
[23:44] <ikonia> mtm: ubuntu doesn't make the irc clients, so ask the client developers
[23:44] <richthegeek> coz_ yes
[23:44] <mtm> Its hould be thier resposibility
[23:44] <logankoester> Does anyone know how to change the size of the NotifyOSD (libnotify) popups?
[23:44] <mtm> Shouldnt
[23:44] <coz_> richthegeek,  check in that to see what is using it up
[23:45] <mtm> I think, its retarded i have to wait15 minutes ot join this network
[23:45] <DasEi> SH-Chris: you can do that from commandline only, the hp also provides als ahowto
[23:45] <DasEi> also a *
[23:45] <pittstains1> erUSUL: that's what i was looking for, thanks
[23:45] <richthegeek> coz_: cache doesnt show up in mem usage, afaik
[23:45] <will_> maco: is there any ways I can manually change my fan's speed
[23:45] <ikonia> mtm: it's not their responsiblilty - talk to the irc client developers
[23:45] <mtm> A proper listing of support chatrooms you guys provide on here
[23:46] <ikonia> mtm: I'll tell you one more time it's nothing to do with ubuntu
[23:46] <SH-Chris> DasEi: How an i supposed to access it through teh command line, through teh boot disk?
[23:46] <slow-motion> n8
[23:46] <maco> will_: that, i dont know. you can install software to tell you how hot your cpu is getting...
[23:46] <mtm> Its not Mirc developers to orginize your IRC support channels
[23:46] <will_> maco: any example
[23:46] <SH-Chris> mtm: If you dont understand as to who supports an irc client, then you shouldnt be on irc, period.
[23:46] <maco> will_: actually for fan speed http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=846480
[23:46] <DasEi> SH-Chris: ctrl-alt-F1 for a command line, or use vesa in first hand to have acces to desk first
[23:47] <rideh> Quick question regarding xinerama. I'm using my second monitor rotated (portrait) and I'm trying to setup the y-axis offset to line it up horizontally with my landscape screen.  The settings dont seem to stick. Something special?
[23:47] <ikonia> rideh: are you hardcoding it in your xorg.conf ?
[23:47] <will_> maco: I'll check that soon
[23:47] <rideh> ikonia: yes
[23:47] <will_> maco: thank a lot
[23:47] <DasEi> SH-Chris: ctrl-alt-F1 , then do : sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg should bring to a working (vesa) desktop least
[23:47] <phillip> Hey guys. I need some help tweeking my system.
[23:47] <ikonia> rideh: thats odd, and it's not remembering the settings ?
[23:47] <maco> will_: for cpu temperature checking https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto
[23:47] <maco> oh too late
[23:47] <SH-Chris> DasEi: Where exactly?
[23:48] <DasEi> SH-Chris: after the bootup
[23:48] <DasEi> SH-Chris: or bootsafemode
[23:48] <SH-Chris> DasEi: After teh bootup i get grub, after grub i get a shut off display
[23:48] <rideh> ikonia: thats what i thought too, but perhaps i'm doing it wrong?     Option         "metamodes" "DFP-2: 2048x1152 +0+540"
[23:48] <DasEi> SH-Chris:there then
[23:49] <SH-Chris> DasEi: But how will i be able to know what im doing if i cant even SEE what im doing :(
[23:49] <ikonia> rideh: I don't see anything wrong, and even if it is wrong, it should remember the wrong settings
[23:49] <DasEi> SH-Chris: tty mostly works
[23:50] <SH-Chris> DasEi: ?
[23:50] <DasEi> SH-Chris: as does booting recoverymode, then use it's root-tty
[23:50] <DasEi> !tty
[23:50] <rideh> ikonia: agreed, also when i setup a static setting it seems to through openGL rendering off.  If i open a game later i get a margin from the top (virtual screen perhaps?) that I cannot correct for.
[23:50] <marienz> 81
[23:50] <marienz> err, gah. Sorry.
[23:50] <SH-Chris> DasEi: Forgot to mention: Tried recovery, same thing :|
[23:50] <rideh> ikonia: but that is by far a 2nd priority
[23:51] <xtasy> How do I make bluetooth always off until i turn it on? it always comes on automatically when i login and i want to save battery
[23:51] <unimatrix> what's wrong with this page? http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/
[23:51] <DasEi> SH-Chris: then goto use live-cd and chroot in
[23:51] <coz_> xtasy,  you could remove it from startup applications
[23:52] <Aemaeth> coz_, sounds reasonable
[23:52] <xtasy> would that turn the radio off?
[23:52] <SH-Chris> DasEi: So i sleect teh boot from cd option? I had to use teh alternate install
[23:52] <DasEi> unimatrix: wrong html as it seems, look at it in tamperdata
[23:52] <octavio> do anybody knows how to install lxdream in ur system i downloaded wat next
[23:52] <datacrusher> anyone suggests a nice screen capture app for gnome?
[23:52] <rideh> ikonia: i'm going to work with it some more, I just noticed these DFP numbers don't seem to coordinate
[23:52] <rideh> datacrusher: hit print screen
[23:52] <DasEi> SH-Chris: on alternate and try repair option, fix x-server
[23:53] <ikonia> rideh: I'm still worried why it doesnt remember though
[23:53] <coz_> datacrusher,  there is already on under application/accessories :)
[23:53] <SH-Chris> DasEi: Allright, ill try taht :)
[23:53] <DasEi> SH-Chris: safer bet is live cd and a chroot in the hd-os
[23:53] <DasEi> !chroot
[23:53] <coz_> datacrusher,  unless you want a screencasting software
[23:53] <SH-Chris> DasEi: IF it doesnt work, expect me back xD
[23:53] <DasEi> hehe
[23:53] <coz_> datacrusher,  if that's the case... gtk-recordmydesktop
[23:53] <rideh> ikonia: because i think i'm changing values not associated with the display mode it is in. I think i'm changing the wrong ones, though there aren't many to choose from
[23:53] <xtasy> thanks coz_
[23:54] <ikonia> rideh: ahhh
[23:54] <Aemaeth> recordmydesktop is ok
[23:54] <octavio> do anybody know how to install lxdream
[23:54] <coz_> xtasy,   no problem...see if that works for you :)
[23:54] <coz_> octavio,  never heard of it but let me google
[23:54] <rideh> datacrusher: hitting alt +printscreen will get the active window
[23:54] <octavio> dreamcast 4 ubuntu
[23:54] <datacrusher> i wanna screencast my desktop
[23:54] <datacrusher> ill grab a look in gtk-recordmydesktop
[23:55] <octavio> coz dreamcast emu 4 ubuntu
[23:55] <igms> 10.04 - ati card - live cd boots but gives me a black screen. Managed to boot with radeon.modeset=0 xforcevesa. Does this get resolved with the installation of official ATI drivers?
[23:55] <coz_> octavio,  ok I have the source package let me take a look hold on
[23:55] <DasEi> igms: which ati ?
[23:55] <rideh> ikonia: if i wanted to align the bottom of my 1920x1080 with the bottom of my 1152x2048  i'd want to +1920 + 1080 right?
[23:56] <ikonia> rideh: I'd have to work it out, I've not done a hardcoded dual screen layout for a long time now
[23:56] <octavio> coz i get a paper after extracting
[23:56] <rideh> ikonia: dont worry bout it, i can play with it :)
[23:56] <igms> DasEi: radeon HD 5670
[23:56] <Aemaeth> recordmydesktop can be ok with the right settings, datacrusher, i think i had best luck with encode-on-the-fly
[23:56] <coz_> octavio,   what do you mean?
[23:56] <ikonia> rideh: once you work out the maths it's easy, but you need to sit and properly work it out
[23:56] <jeeves_Moss> how can I force remove or repair a package?  I have a broken install of icedtea6-plugin and I've tried "apt-get remove icedtea6-plugin", "apt-get remove --purge icedtea6-plugin" and "apt-get -i install"
[23:57] <octavio> coz i downloaded then i extracted it and get a paper thats it cant run
[23:57] <coz_> jeeves_Moss,  did you open synaptic pakcage manager and under  Edit menu  "Fix broken packages" ?
[23:57] <DasEi> igms: though things change and change, this card is half-supported, though not by official ati drivers, but yes, there is some support from opensource for that
[23:57] <coz_> octavio,  did it extract for you?
[23:57] <jeeves_Moss> coz_, tried it.  it fails with an exit code of 1
[23:57] <octavio> coz yup but then i a sheet
[23:58] <coz_> jeeves_Moss,  ok and in synaptic hit Search   type icedtea  and try removeing it?
[23:58] <DasEi> jeeves_Moss: apt-get -f install
[23:58] <jeeves_Moss> DasEi, tried it, same crash
[23:58] <Patric3> Does Ubuntu use cron or anacron ?  How do catchup jobs happen if just cron is being used (i.e. if the machine is powered off)
[23:58] <jeeves_Moss> coz_, tried it
[23:59] <coz_> jeeves_Moss,  mmm  this is puzzling... how did this happen ....do you remember what you were doing / installing / removing at the time?
[23:59] <jeeves_Moss> coz_, I did an apt upgrade, then rebooted
[23:59] <octavio> coz i get a sheet is a deb folder too and it should install na
[23:59] <jeeves_Moss> coz_, "E: /var/cache/apt/archives/icedtea6-plugin_6b18-1.8-4ubuntu3_i386.deb: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 2"
[23:59] <rideh> ikonia: Too bad twinview doesnt support rotation :/
[23:59] <elvipolar> clear
[23:59] <igms> DasEi: thanks
