[03:59] <aletheia8556> Blakkheim i need an xorg.conf file to copy.  i know how to make the actual blank file but I'm not technical enough to put all the info in it.  where can i copy and paste this information?
[03:59] <themarmot> minimec, I did that w/ googles - i'll try these, but I'm able to traceroute and ping googles just fine <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:59] <Jordan_U> brando753: Like the warning says, back up all data and replace the drive
[03:59] <brando753> blakkheim: is it physical damage or can it be repaired?
[04:00] <themarmot> minimec, i'm doing this on the computer w/out wireless correct?
[04:00] <blakkheim> brando753: looks physical to me
[04:00] <Jordan_U> brando753: Physical damage
[04:00] <rww> aletheia8556: if you run "sudo X -configure", it should generate something to start from
[04:00] <blakkheim> brando753: i'd get that data off as soon as possible to a backup drive
[04:00] <brando753> is there a way to test the drive?
[04:00] <brando753> again or no
[04:00] <aletheia8556> rww: i've done that so i just need to copy that from the terminal or should it already be in an xorg file?
[04:00] <themarmot> minimec, just fixed it
[04:00] <aletheia8556> i' sorry i'm a non techie noob
[04:01] <minimec> themarmot: That computer, that cannot resolv the names of the homepages ;)
[04:01] <themarmot> minimec, i added googles dns to the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
[04:01] <themarmot> and rebooted
[04:01] <[Ex0r]> damn this went horribly wrong
[04:01] <[Ex0r]> using the ubuntu server LTS dvd to install, and once it got to setting up packages, everything started failing
[04:01] <rww> aletheia8556: that command would create xorg.conf.new in your current directory, so you'd need to move it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf if you want to use it, yes.
[04:01] <[Ex0r]> now when I loaded it up, it's telling me packages are broken and I can't do anything to fix them
[04:02] <aletheia8556> how do i do that?
[04:02] <rip> ok, my question to every1 listening is: does having the entire disk encrypted (all partitions) pose any benefits over just encrypted /home if you're not going to put sensitive data anywhere but inside /home ?
[04:02] <minimec> themarmot: cool ;)
[04:02] <philabole> Can any one help me with installing ubuntu on a brand new build?
[04:02] <blakkheim> rip: yes
[04:02] <Jordan_U> [Ex0r]: Did you run the integrity check on the CD?
[04:02] <MikeChelen> !ask | philabole
[04:03] <[Ex0r]> Jordan_U- yes, the cd is fine
[04:03] <rip> ok, so what are the benefits?
[04:03] <rww> rip: it makes it somewhat harder for an attacker to modify the unencrypted portion of the disk to add something that'll steal your password
[04:03] <philabole> copy that
[04:03] <rip> rww: ok that makes sense
[04:03] <mclark1129> !ask
[04:03] <[Ex0r]> I tried using sudo aptitude and using 'b' to find broken packages, but it's not finding any
[04:03] <MikeChelen> rip: depends if you are 100% sure nothing sensitive is written outside /home
[04:04] <rip> yes, that is a perfectly good reason to encrypt the entire disk
[04:04] <aletheia8556> rww i looked in my etc/X11 folders and i don't see an xorg.conf.new file
[04:04] <mclark1129> philabole: I'm somewhat of a Linux n00b but I was able to install Ubuntu on my own, what specifically do you need help with?
[04:04] <MikeChelen> rww: keylogger can be installed to bootloader on fully encrypted disk too ;)
[04:04] <rip> yeah, that's true. something sentitive could be written to /tmp by GNOME, etc. correct?
[04:04] <rww> aletheia8556: note the "current directory" part of my message. It'd probably be easier if you stated the actual problem you're having, i.e. the one that's necessitating you editing xorg.conf.
[04:05] <Jordan_U> rip: But you have to enter your password at boot, so it really just moves the attack vector to the bootloader
[04:05] <TNA5000> helo, i can't remember the command to see the system log file. By system log file i mean if I connect a USB device and want to see the log of the connection and all the infromation about the hardware.. can anyone help?
[04:05] <Jordan_U> rip: Or the kernel
[04:05] <MikeChelen> rip: yup, depending on how the sensitive data is being read & edited
[04:05] <rww> MikeChelen: I know. It's harder to mess with the bootloader, though. No system is 100% perfectly secure.
[04:05] <CrazyTux> Guys, totally drawing a blank --- Bus 001 Device 060: ID 05ac:1293 Apple, Inc. trying to mount my ipoud touch, I've got this info from lsusb, how do I find the correlating dev block device to mount
[04:05] <minimec> TNA5000: dmesg, lsusb
[04:06] <TNA5000> that's it, thanks minimec
[04:06] <mclark1129> I am having a problem with GRUB2 not using the timeout I have set, has anyone else had this issue?
[04:06] <rww> CrazyTux: plug it in, run dmesg, look in the last few lines for something like sdX, that'd match up to /dev/sdX
[04:06] <MikeChelen> rww: yeah true, either kind is not immune from modification by someone with physical access
[04:06] <CrazyTux> rww: I've done that, it dosent give me a sdX
[04:06] <Jordan_U> rww: I could pretty easily make a grub.cfg that creates a valid looking password prompt( I was the one who made the bootloader comment )
[04:06] <rww> CrazyTux: is there anything relevant in dmesg?
[04:07] <aletheia8556> rww.  i upgraded to xubuntu 9.10 from the previous 9.04 and in both versions my max screen resolution is 800x600.  I need it to be 1024x768 to use my full screen.  somebody walked me through editing my xorg.conf file and it fixed my problem in 9.04, but now i don't have that file to edit
[04:07] <[Ex0r]> Jordan_U- It's still saying broken packages, even though aptitude can't find any
[04:07] <Jordan_U> rww: Same with modifying the iniramfs scripts
[04:07] <CrazyTux> rww: kernel: [802422.499194] usb 1-5: configuration #1 chosen from 3 choices
[04:07] <chu> hey guys, so I have "lost" my menu bar in mono-develop, a bit frustrating! I was wondering what the command to re-install it would be? I probably still have the deb package in /var/apt/archives or wherever, but I'd re-download if need be. I know the menu bar worked at some point.
[04:07] <CrazyTux> rww: kernel: [802422.345829] usb 1-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 61 --- are the two lines
[04:07] <Jordan_U> [Ex0r]: Can you pastebin the exact error?
[04:08] <[Ex0r]> I'll try to
[04:08] <[Ex0r]> it's on another machine
[04:08] <rip> Jordan_U:  and even if you had an encrypted /boot, which even Fedora does not have, then you could easily have an attack vector in the BIOS which in most hardware is proprietary which makes it even wrose
[04:08] <rip> *worse
[04:08] <rww> CrazyTux: weird
[04:09] <louiethecuban> hey
[04:09] <CrazyTux> rww: yea very weird, I want to do a raw mount of it -- like ubuntu desktop I can load it using file manager, but I want to do an actual mount myself
[04:09] <aletheia8556> can you help in a different way rww??
[04:10] <Jordan_U> rip: In the end, when the attacker has physical access you need physical security
[04:10] <rww> aletheia8556: alright, in the terminal: "sudo X -configure; sudo cp xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf/" to generate a configuration file and put it in the right place, then "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" to edit it.
[04:10] <rip> lol, true... i'm thinking, at the very least I can shut down the computer before it is seized
[04:11] <rww> aletheia8556: sorry, "xorg.conf", not "xorg.conf/"
[04:12] <[Ex0r]> Jordan_U- http://www.pastebin.ca/1732669
[04:12] <[Ex0r]> that's the exact error i'm getting
[04:13] <chu> Well, tried to "repair" the installation, nothing. Tried to uninstall and then reinstall monodevelop, nothing. Perhaps I have a setting somewhere which says "don't show menu bar" in monodevelop? Anyone know of such a thing...
[04:13] <xtjacob> does anyone know where the pointer themes are stored?
[04:13] <rww> [Ex0r]: what's the entire output of "sudo apt-get -f install"?
[04:13] <[Ex0r]> using a ubuntu server 8 autoinstaller
[04:13] <aletheia8556> rww: it says "Fatal error Server is already active for display 0
[04:13] <rip> how about this: if a computer in which all (besides /boot) partitions are encrypted is seized by an attacker, and you have locked your gnome session using gnome-screensaver, and you haven't already logged into an virtual terminals, is your data safe as long as the attacker cannot guess your login password?
[04:14] <nostalgicbadger> Hey guys, wondering if someone could help... I deleted the .conf for mpd, and now i can't apt-get remove it
[04:14] <[Ex0r]> 0 upgraded, 0 installled
[04:14] <[Ex0r]> 0 to remove
[04:14] <nostalgicbadger> i want to reinstall mpd, but I can't seem to apt-get remove, so I can't apt-get install either.
[04:14] <lgc> Hi, what's this thing about needing a password to unblock the ring when trying to connect wireless?
[04:14] <minimec> nostalgicbadger: sudo dpkg-reconfigure mpd
[04:15] <goose> does anyone have a good guide to setting up exim?
[04:15] <nostalgicbadger> minimec - mpd is broken or not fully installed
[04:16] <philabole>  Whenever i try to insatall ubunto on my7 new home build it loads ap and seems to be working. then i get this message: FAILED TO START THE XSERVER.  IT IS LIKELY THAT IT IS NOT CONFIGURED PROPERLY.......PL;EASE HELP
[04:17] <minimec> nostalgicbadger: sudo apt-get -f install
[04:17] <blistov_> i deleted my stock user on a karmic machine, and manually created users don't seem to get all the neat bash command completion (ie apt-get install tab tab).  Anyone know where this is configured?
[04:17] <aletheia8556> is there any way that i can get remote assistance where someone can connect to my machine to try to help me solve a screen resolution problem?
[04:17] <booksbuggy> how do i roll back upgrade?
[04:17] <blakkheim> booksbuggy: you don't
[04:17] <nostalgicbadger> minimec - sudo apt-get -f install mpd failed
[04:17] <booksbuggy> dang it -.-
[04:18] <tarelerulz> Do any of you use myspace . That myspace im at the bottom of the page is all ways unavailable . Is there any way to make that work . I am using  chrome and firefox and get the same on both
[04:18] <booksbuggy> sound doesn't work anymore after upgrading to 9.10
[04:18] <nostalgicbadger> unless you just wanted me to do sudo apt-get -f install, but i assumed you meant sudo apt-get -f install mpd
[04:18] <minimec> nostalgicbadger: And you cannot remove it either...
[04:18] <lgc> How can I "unlock the ring", whatever that is?
[04:18] <nostalgicbadger> sudo apt-get remove mpd tries to read mpd.conf, fails, then aborts
[04:19] <nostalgicbadger> lgc - type your root password
[04:19] <lgc> nostalgicbadger, doesn't seem to work.
[04:20] <the_shed> Just loaded Ubuntu 9.10 on a toshibs Satellite Pro 4200 but cant get the usb WiFi to be recognised - this is the laptops ONLY link to the outside world...help..!!
[04:20] <nostalgicbadger> minimec - is there any way to make aptitude think that mpd has never been installed?
[04:20] <blakkheim> the_shed: it would help if you told us the wifi card's chipset
[04:21] <minimec> nostalgicbadger: I have to guess, that the package is broken. Is this the official karmic package?
[04:21] <Jordan_U> [Ex0r]: How much disk space do you have? ( "df -h" )
[04:21] <[Ex0r]> over 1 tb
[04:22] <the_shed> Sorry - no idea..its an En-Genius EUB-362, but that is all I know about it.

[04:29] <yoasif> hey, i have a question about resizing an extended partition with gparted using a live cd... i right click on the extended partition, and move/resize is grayed out... any ideas?
[04:29] <lgc> nostalgicbadger, "password ring" or something like that (I'm translating). But it doesn't seem to recognize the root password.
[04:30] <chu> This guy has his own PPA with updated versions of monodevelop available. How do I update my sources.list and download these newer updates?
[04:30] <Jordan_U> [Ex0r]: Would it be difficult for you to pastebin the complete output of "sudo apt-get install hello" ?
[04:30] <[Ex0r]> yes Jordan_U, I can't copy/[aste
[04:30] <[Ex0r]> it's on a completely different machine
[04:30] <Jordan_U> chu: Follow the instructions on the PPA's page
[04:30] <Jordan_U> [Ex0r]: Can you ssh into it?
[04:31] <chu> Apparantly there is an easy command for adding PPA's under 9.10 - But I'm not entirely sure what the PPA I'm trying to add is (it's a personal PPA, not an official project PPA...)
[04:31] <[Ex0r]> no
[04:31] <Jordan_U> chu: Where did you find out about this ppa?
[04:32] <yoasif> alright guys, ignore my question -- it was using my swap partition, i just had to turn the swap off, and now it is resizing
[04:32] <yoasif> thanks anyway guys :)

[04:33] <prageeth> what is php channel
[04:34] <CrazyTux> prageeth: ##php
[04:34] <chu> Thanks Jordan_U
[04:34] <themarmot> the php channel on irc.freenode is silly
[04:34] <Jordan_U> chu: np
[04:34] <themarmot> it's less about php and more about bashing
[04:34] <CrazyTux> themarmot: what gives you that idea?
[04:35] <themarmot> CrazyTux, i've spent some time there
[04:35] <CrazyTux> themarmot: each to his own I suppose.
[04:35] <cimon> Hi, anyone know how to get a listing of all modules available?
[04:35] <themarmot> occasionally you run across someone that knows a thing or two but it's mostly egocentric jr. devs who have no place giving advice
[04:36] <cimon> I  have a crystal audio sound chip cs-4235-KQ
[04:36] <chu> Haha, the problem still remains in monodevelop 2.2 :(
[04:36] <CrazyTux> themarmot: You'd be surprised some of the people that are in the channel :)
[04:36] <cimon>  cs-4236 works
[04:37] <cimon> but only the headphone, not the jack.
[04:37] <themarmot> CrazyTux, i wasn't saying that there aren't people in there who don't know a thing or two ... just that it's more an exception
[04:37] <yoasif> quick question -- im playing with my partitions right now... should i bother migrating my home to ext4 from ext3?
[04:38] <wowoto> yoasif: to xfs ..
[04:39] <yoasif> wowoto, ha, isnt that slower and prone to dying if you crash?
[04:39] <yoasif> this is a laptop that sometimes overheats, i need some stability in my fs
[04:39] <yoasif> :P
[04:41] <Beemo125> what's the best way to build a database of names to print address labels from?
[04:41] <philabole> does any one have any experience installing ubuntu onto a brand new system....one that's just been put together
[04:41] <Tiders> Wow Windows 7 uses a taskbar so similar to KDE's
[04:41] <wowoto> yoasif: it works well in my laptop vs archlinux and ubuntu904
[04:41] <Tiders> philabole, PM me
[04:41] <yoasif> wowoto, wha? not sure i understand
[04:41] <philabole> Tiders: ok
[04:41] <Beemo125> I've got a big data entry project here... should i use open office?
[04:43] <Beemo125> yeah, when you boot up, go to bios/ boot from wherever your ubuntu os is ...cd?
[04:45] <Hilikus> is there a way to synthetically trigger a cron job? just to test it
[04:45] <zippert> hello i try to run kvm but i cant figure out how to add the network bride to qemu, please help
[04:46] <tehdave> Does anyone know how to get wine to play nicely with pulseaudio in 8.04? Wine version 1.1.35, pulseaudio 0.9.10
[04:47] <Jordan_U> tehdave: Have you tried the latest packages from the wine repository? I think it's been fixed in wine since 8.04
[04:48] <wowoto> yoasif: i once use xfs as the filesystem of ubuntu9.04 and archlinux，it performed very good ，and theres no need for you to run “fsck ” after a unexpect poweroff .
[04:48] <MgMt> how do you check how much battery life is left in cli?
[04:48] <blakkheim> MgMt: acpi
[04:49] <MgMt> blakkheim is that like the name for battery in linux? like eth0 is ethernet port?
[04:49] <yoasif> wowoto, really, so is there corruption? you should have to run fsck, you might not have to recover a journal, but if it doesn't even check it, how do you know whether there are any issues?
[04:49] <hexed> will fsck check/repair sectors on a non linux partition or should i leave that to windows scandisk?
[04:50] <tehdave> Jordan_U, Yep, running current release of Wine. Not sure if I somehow messed up my alsa drivers though...swapped to a different volume manager (padevchooser) to try and work around an issue that turned out to be trivial, and not sure how to go back to fixing it up...not sure if just removing padevchooser and the pulseaudio volume mixer might work...
[04:51] <blakkheim> MgMt: it is the command
[04:51] <MgMt> and there is no other command?
[04:51] <MgMt> cuz im not in ubuntu and its not working on this linux i dont think
[04:51] <c_nick> how to setup printer on Ubuntu ?
[04:51] <c_nick> i am on U9.10
[04:53] <Jordan_U> hexed: For dealing with repaqiring ntfs partitions at the file system level you should use windows but for trying to recover the blocks from the drive ddrescue is as good as any other tool
[04:53] <wowoto> yoasif: i now still not  encountered with a corruption.     i didn't check the disk as the OS work as usual ,maybe i should run fsck , if theres another unexpected poweroff ,i'll fsck it ,thx
[04:53] <hexed> ah k thx.
[04:53] <Jordan_U> hexed: np
[04:55] <absion> Anyone that knows a bit about ffmpeg?
[04:59] <hexed> how long do nicks stayed registered here?
[05:00] <BluesKaj> til hell freeezes over , or you quit
[05:00] <c_nick> hexed: until u sign out
[05:01] <hexed> naw i mean with nickserv lol
[05:01] <hexed> like once you register, if you dont identify for x amount of days it gets dropped

[05:03] <frederick85> hi i am in he middle of a dist-upgrade and  it stopped working i have an annoying problem of what seems like broken packages and all sorts of things, can anyone help?
[05:04] <jschall> on ubuntu 9.10 karmic, my laptop screen won't come back after i close the lid or enter standby mode. ctrl-alt-f1 does not work in this case, either. It is an acer aspire 5100 with a radeon xpress 5100
[05:04] <jschall> anyone have any ideas? kernel issue? video drivers?
[05:05] <Jordan_U> frederick85: Can you clarify what you mean by "stopped working" ?
[05:05] <frederick85> jordan_u, typing sudo on the console says it can't find the binary anymore
[05:05] <frederick85> jordan_u, says it can't find apt either
[05:05] <Jordan_U> frederick85: Which binary?
[05:06] <frederick85> Jordan_U: well all the binary's
[05:06] <Jordan_U> frederick85: Is this after a reboot?
[05:07] <frederick85> Jordan_U: yes i rebooted it, and it was unable to complete it afterwards, someone gave me advice a couple of hours ago to run sudo aptitude -f
[05:07] <cece> ??
[05:07] <frederick85> i ran aptitude and not nothing works at all except what is left in the memory
[05:07] <frederick85> like this irc client
[05:07] <ubuntuuser> hi , I wanted to ask , does anyone know about hardware power supply ? what is true power ?
[05:08] <cece> ??
[05:08] <mMezquitale> ubuntuuser, if you dont get a response here try #hardware
[05:09] <mezimezim> hi, someone knows something about GPS on Ubuntu?
[05:09] <crash2108> Excuse me, kind sirs,
[05:09] <mMezquitale> !ask | crash2108
[05:09] <ubuntuuser> mMezquitale :eh , neverthough there's a channel on hardware , thanksmMezquitale
[05:09] <crash2108> I somehow ended up with a 40 gig swap partition,
[05:09] <Jordan_U> frederick85: Odd, if you have a shell open, does "echo /bin/*" print anything?
[05:10] <crash2108> And Why is it that everytime I give a simple Hello, people accuse me of asking to ask?  #javascript too,
[05:10] <frederick85> Jordan_U: yes it prints out a large list of folders
[05:10] <frederick85> or binaries
[05:11] <mMezquitale> crash2108, this is ubuntu support, feel free to ask any questions, for anything else you can use the ubuntu off topic channel
[05:11] <Jordan_U> frederick85: What about "echo /usr/bin/apt*" ?
[05:11] <crash2108> Anyway, Gparted won't allow me to resize the partitions.  There's a keyring next to the swap partition.  I tried "sudo gparted".  I remember tehre was a special sudo command for apps but I forget it so I forget what it its.
[05:12] <frederick85> Jordan_U: yes that is working also
[05:12] <DanielRM> crash2108: gksudo
[05:12] <badbrain> how can i check if my video card has the right drivers installed?
[05:12] <frederick85> Jordan_U: again lists another set of binaries
[05:12] <Jordan_U> frederick85: And what output do you get from "sudo apt-get -f install" ?
[05:12] <wowoto> crash2108: try to use a liveCD/usb
[05:12] <mezimezim> basically my Ubuntu 9.10 can't communicate with my Magellan explorist 500 GPS
[05:12] <Jordan_U> frederick85: Assuming that apt-get was listed as one of those binaries
[05:13] <frederick85> Jordan_U: bash: /usr/bin/sudo: No such file or directory
[05:13] <mMezquitale> crash2108, you can boot up to a live CD with gparted and try to work on your swap partition although I do not know what will happen if you touch that swap file with gparted
[05:13] <Jordan_U> frederick85: Ahh
[05:13] <DanielRM> crash2108: the keyring means it's currently mounted.
[05:14] <infid> how do you install ubuntu remix completely from a CD?
[05:14] <frederick85> Jordan_U: don't understand how that could happen after what seemed just downloaing a few packages with aptitude
[05:14] <crash2108> Funny thing is, guys.  I actually am running on a LiveCD right now because I suspected that.
[05:14] <DanielRM> crash2108: if the issue is simply that you can't resize your swap partition (I don't know, I came in in the middle of the conversation) then unmounting it should allow you to resize it.
[05:14] <Jordan_U> frederick85: I assume that "echo /usr/bin/sud*" doesn't print "/usr/bin/sudo" ?
[05:14] <RubbberDucky> I have two hard drives. I installed ubuntu on one while the other was unplugged, it has windows.  How do I get a screen that prompts me to boot either drive?  Do I have to somehow diresct the bootloader to the other drive?
[05:14] <mMezquitale> badbrain, look at "Hardware Drivers" under administration, it'll tell you if youre using propietary drivers, if youre using propietary drivers try to download a 3D application, search in "add/remove" and see if youre able to run a 3D application
[05:14] <mezimezim> the GPS does not seem to be on /dev/ttyS0 or any other suggestion from Viking... any idea how to communicate with the GPS?
[05:14] <Jordan_U> frederick85: How did you do the dist-upgrade?
[05:15] <DanielRM> crash2108: the LiveCD automatically mounts swap partitions if it detects them.
[05:15] <mMezquitale> infid, you burn the ISO into the CD
[05:15] <frederick85> Jordan_U: actually it does print out sudo
[05:15] <badbrain> ok ill check if im using proprietary drivers, but i just tried to run a video game and it didnt work so im assuming theres something wrong somewhere
[05:15] <crash2108> Now how do I unmount them?
[05:16] <theadmin> Jordan_U: Why do you need to echo something in /usr/bin?!
[05:16] <bleepbloop> http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/linux/create-a-bootable-ubuntu-usb-flash-drive-the-easy-way/   is the code in that how-to applicable to windows 7? (scroll down)
[05:16] <Jordan_U> frederick85: What happens when you run "/usr/bin/sudo apt-get -f install"?
[05:16] <DanielRM> crash2108: you can do it from within gparted by right-clicking on it and choosing swapoff or unmount.
[05:16] <jtaji> mezimezim: that's USB?
[05:16] <mezimezim> jtaji, yes, it's USB
[05:16] <frederick85> Jordan_U: no such file or directory still :'(
[05:17] <theadmin> crash2108: To unmount whatever, just "sudo umount /path/to/mount/point"
[05:17] <jtaji> mezimezim: should be /dev/ttysUSB0
[05:17] <jtaji> mezimezim: should be /dev/ttyUSB0
[05:17] <mMezquitale> RubbberDucky, first make the drive that you have windows on as Master, then take the other drive you installed linux on and set it as slave, you will only be able to boot up to windows, the next step is to attempt to install grub2 but since you already installed linux on another hard drive this is going to be tricky but not impossible, youre going to have to fiddle with it or just reinstall
[05:17] <DanielRM> theadmin: doesn't work for swap.
[05:17] <Jordan_U> theadmin: He was saying that new applications couldn't be started, using shell expansion allows him to check if files exist without starting a new process ( though it now seems that isn't probably isn't really required )
[05:17] <badbrain> if im using proprietary drivers for my video card and something is wrong with my video, do i need to find out what they are and update them or something myself?
[05:17] <DanielRM> theadmin: you have to use swapoff if you're in the shell trying to unmount a swap partition.
[05:17] <theadmin> DanieIRM: Oopsie. sorry, I missed a part of conversation.
[05:18] <DanielRM> theadmin: heh, I missed the entire first half so it's OK. :P
[05:18] <Jordan_U> frederick85: How did you do the dist-upgrade?
[05:18] <gigasoft> is there any anti-virus for Ubuntu ?
[05:18] <Jordan_U> !virus | gigasoft
[05:18] <RubbberDucky> mMezquitale Thanks, bleh I wish it had been plugged in!
[05:18] <theadmin> gigasoft: There are no viruses for Ubuntu :D
[05:18] <DanielRM> gigasoft: there's clamav, which has a GUI called clamtk, but there's not really much point.
[05:19] <mMezquitale> badbrain, it would help if you post the type of video card that you have and what you are unable to do with it
[05:19] <badbrain> how do i find out what it is? its inside my laptop so i cant really look at it
[05:19] <gigasoft> ok thank you alla :)
[05:19] <mezimezim> jtaji: it does not work when I specify that to Viking
[05:19] <FloodBot1> NOTICE - The above was an exploit attempt that may have disconnected some users. Please ignore it, or type « /msg ubottu exploit » for more information.
[05:19] <gigasoft> ok thank you all :)
[05:19] <jtaji> mezimezim: then it must not look like a simple serial port
[05:20] <mezimezim> as for GPSBABEL, I am not sure about the exact command
[05:20] <jtaji> mezimezim: my garmin auto mounts as a disk
[05:20] <mMezquitale> RubbberDucky, I was always too afraid to try linux until I tried it with another hard drive, except I was adventerous enough to leave the hard drive with windows on my machine, eventually I got fed up with the IDE drive and just set up another partition in my SATA drive for linux---never looked back ever since
[05:20] <mezimezim> how could I try & mount it?
[05:20] <theadmin> Can I somehow make GPartED format stuff into NTFS?
[05:21] <DanielRM> theadmin: yes, if you have the NTFS drivers installed.
[05:21] <jtaji> mezimezim: first step, right after you plug it in, type 'dmesg' and see what it says about it
[05:21] <frederick85> Jordan_U: what happened is I forgot to update my apt sources before doing it and add all the sources required, when i did dist-upgrade it worked but after installing all the packages it didn't clean up after itself and didn't reboot , then i started the computer using the old kernel still installed because the new one wouldn't work and my update manager wouldn't work at all so I tried many ways to fix it with some guy on here
[05:21] <frederick85> Jordan_U: aptitude -f sorry
[05:21] <theadmin> DanieIRM: well I got ntfs-3g cause ntfs partitions are mounted
[05:21] <DanielRM> theadmin: ntfs-3g or similar and also ntfsprogs wouldn't go amiss.
[05:21] <mMezquitale> badbrain, looking up your manufacturer and model type usually helps you find the spec in google.com
[05:21] <angel12> hey guys, how do i make grub boot windows by default instead of linux?
[05:21] <frederick85> Jordan_U: i went to sleep while it was downloading packages and came back and it seems to have broken everything further
[05:21] <jtaji> mezimezim: also maybe search google for linux + the model name to see if it is even expected to work
[05:21] <badbrain> ok thanks for being dumb
[05:21] <DanielRM> theadmin: ah, it's ntfsprogs which is necessary.
[05:21] <RubbberDucky> mMezquitale, I wish I could do that but I simply dont have the space.  I should order another drive... 750gigs cant be too expensive nowadays..
[05:21] <Jordan_U> frederick85: Modifying your sources.list manually is not the proper way to upgrade
[05:21] <badbrain> i mean thanks and sorry : D
[05:22] <Jordan_U> !upgrade | frederick85
[05:22] <DanielRM> theadmin: so installing that should do the trick.
[05:22] <theadmin> Thanks, DanieIRM
[05:22] <mezimezim> there's tons of stuff showing up when I do dmesg
[05:22] <Hilikus> is there a way to synthetically trigger a cron job? just to test it
[05:22] <mezimezim> yes, according to GPSBabel documentation, this particular GPS is supposed to be supported
[05:22] <jtaji> mezimezim: you're looking at the last lines right after you plug it in
[05:23] <jtaji> mezimezim: supported to do what?
[05:23] <frederick85> Jordan_U: i didn't modify it manually i used the software sources program
[05:23] <jschall> i'm having suspend/resume issues on my laptop, it seemed to work with previous versions of ubuntu. how can i go about troubleshooting this?
[05:23] <mMezquitale> RubbberDucky, if you have 2 drives just reinstall, shouldt be too much of a hassle, leave your windows drive as it is, in the other drive create a swap file of 1 gig, no more unless you have little memory, and about 5 gigs for "/" and the rest for "/home" should suffice
[05:24] <theadmin> jschall: What exactly are the issues?
[05:24] <mezimezim> jtaji: I think you are on to something with dmesg
[05:24] <frederick85> Jordan_U: should i try rebooting and see if that helps?
[05:24] <mMezquitale> RubbberDucky, or since it's a desktop you can just install everything in "/", 7 gigs should about cover it
[05:24] <Jordan_U> frederick85: Were you trying to upgrade from one version of Ubuntu to another? If you needed to use dist-upgrade after adding a repository that repository is probably broken
[05:24] <jschall> theadmin: when i resume, my screen never comes on. its not just the backlight, the screen is blank
[05:24] <jtaji> mezimezim: if you want to pastebin it I can take a look
[05:24] <jtaji> !paste | mezimezim
[05:24] <jschall> theadmin: i can't press ctrl-alt-f1 or anything either
[05:25] <mezimezim> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m43d1aa16
[05:25] <theadmin> jschall: Hm. I had such problems with 9.04, but I'm fine with 9.10...
[05:25] <Jordan_U> frederick85: It would help if you could explain exactly what you did between when your system was completely working and now
[05:25] <jtaji> mezimezim: yep, not even enumerating
[05:25] <jschall> theadmin: does not accept ssh connections.
[05:25] <crash2108> Thank you gentlemans.
[05:26] <theadmin> jschall: Who/what does not? And if ssh is the problem, I can't help, I've no idea how this stuff works
[05:26] <jtaji> mezimezim: I'm not familiar with that error.... is that on a hub or a port on the computer?
[05:26] <frederick85> Jordan_U: i ran apritude -f selected apply for resolution
[05:26] <mezimezim> seems like the device is too old!  it says there something about needing low speed USB device
[05:26] <mMezquitale> crash2108, also get into the habit of using the first letters of someone nick and then hit tab
[05:26] <frederick85> Jordan_U: apply resolution rather
[05:26] <DanielRM> crash2108: all worked?
[05:26] <jschall> theadmin: the laptop doesn't accept ssh connections after failing to resume
[05:26] <Jordan_U> frederick85: Why did you run aptitude -f in the first place?
[05:27] <jschall> theadmin: so it obviously isn't just the screen
[05:27] <jtaji> mezimezim: it means it is seeing the gps as a low speed device, which is ok
[05:27] <frederick85> Jordan_U: dpkg had corrupted cache apparantly
[05:27] <mezimezim> it did not work with the original Windows program either (on real windows, not Wine)
[05:27] <mMezquitale> jschall, what is the problem you are experiencing with ssh?
[05:27] <crash2108> Applying pending operations no
[05:27] <RubbberDucky> mMezquitale I need another drive for backup anyway.  I think I will figure it out after I get one.  Thanks anyway!
[05:27] <theadmin> jschall: Well, it can't do this. Exaclty... do you suspend or hibernate?
[05:27] <mezimezim> jtaji: I think I'll return the damn thing!
[05:27] <jschall> mMezquitale: no problem with ssh, i'm trying to troubleshoot a laptop that won't resume from standby
[05:27] <jschall> theadmin: suspend to ram
[05:27] <jtaji> mezimezim: yeah, sounds like it's bad or buggy
[05:28] <mMezquitale> jschall, that sounds like something for the forums or launchpad
[05:28] <theadmin> jschall: Hrm, then I have no idea... maybe it's got some problem with reading the suspend data from RAM, but I can't tell any further.
[05:28] <badbrain> ok.. my graphics card is "ATI mobility radeon HD 3470" and i have proprietary drivers installed, usually no problems with anything but when i try and run a particular game, its all chunky and i cant see anything properly and then it crashes... do i need to get different drivers?
[05:28] <mking213> w00t
[05:28] <theadmin> Sorry everyone, got to go.
[05:28] <Jordan_U> frederick85: Do any commands other than sudo seem to be having problems?
[05:28] <mezimezim> on the magellan website, it is listed in the "obsolote products" categories, but I bought it today!!
[05:29] <mezimezim> now wonder they had such a big discount
[05:29] <frederick85> Jordan_U: yes many binaries don't seem to be working, like many programs in the applications menu, it's probably all of them but i'm not sure
[05:29] <mezimezim> thanks for your help jtaji!
[05:29] <Jordan_U> frederick85: Do you have a LiveCD available in case you can't boot after shutting down?
[05:30] <frederick85> Jordan_U: i'm not sure, i might have to get one from somebody otherwise
[05:30] <sunil2> in my pc there are many 9.04 versions installed.Now i want to delete all those and i re-install again. can you tell me the procedure
[05:31] <mMezquitale> badbrain, looks like it's a bug, you might want to check with launchpad, you can try the channel again, maybe the forums but by all means, create a bug report if no one will help you, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/254908
[05:31] <frederick85> Jordan_U: i'm going to try it and see what happens it's all too messy and seems unfixable
[05:32] <badbrain> mMezquitale: ok thanks, but just a note that one other game i try and run, which the wine page said is tested and working, also crashes as soon as i try and run it.. is this the same thing?
[05:32] <sunil2> in my pc there are many 9.04 versions installed.Now i want to delete all those and i re-install again. can you tell me the procedure
[05:33] <mMezquitale> badbrain, now youre bringing up wine, that is an entirely different story, first try with native apps using "add/remove" like I told you before, if those work then the issue is with an application using wine
[05:34] <mMezquitale> sunil, the 9.04 versions are just kernels, you want to know in what partition you have 9.04 and delete that partition, if you have windows installed I highly recommend your partition your hard drdive using gparted live cd first
[05:35] <badbrain> ok nope when i try and run nexiuz, it wont go either... so this is a graphics problem
[05:36] <sunil> sunil2, usually created when there is new version of kernel that got updated, try if sudo apt-get autoclean; sudo apt-get autoremove helps
[05:37] <sunil> mMezquitale, its sunil2, and not me ;-)
[05:37] <AcBush> Can someone help me make my 2nd hard drive (named Extra HD) auto mount on startup?
[05:37] <mMezquitale> sunil, my mistake LoL
[05:37] <mMezquitale> sunil2, , the 9.04 versions are just kernels, you want to know in what partition you have 9.04 and delete that partition, if you have windows installed I highly recommend your partition your hard drdive using gparted live cd first
[05:37] <sunil> AcBush, you can add an entry in fstab to mount  that drive
[05:38] <soreau> AcBush: You probably want to add an entry in /etc/fstab for it
[05:38] <sunil2> besides 9.04 i'm having XP also. i want to re-install it once again. how to delete existing one???
[05:39] <sunil> sunil2, if you wnat to reinstall everything ... start with installing windows
[05:39] <mMezquitale> sunil2, you want remove xp as well?
[05:39] <sunil> mMezquitale, go ahead :)
[05:39] <chibihogoshino> how would i go about getting the modem to work in my laptop in karmic ?
[05:40] <mMezquitale> chibihogoshino, can you please be more specific?  do you have a dsl modem or dial up modem?
[05:40] <sunil2> no i don't want to remove xp.
[05:40] <sunil2> i just wanted to delete only all 9.04
[05:40] <chibihogoshino> laptops have dsl modems in them ?
[05:40] <chibihogoshino> its a internal modem in a lenovo
[05:40] <chibihogoshino> t61
[05:40] <mMezquitale> sunil2, you installed xp first and then linux afterwards, correct?
[05:41] <sunil2> yes you are correct
[05:41] <TheEpitome> Anyone else have the new 9.10 flickering issue in flash movies?
[05:41] <mMezquitale> sunil2, use paste bin to post the output of "sudo fdisk -l"
[05:42] <TheEpitome> Is this the place for active bug discussion?
[05:42] <Jordan_U> TheEpitome: Does the flickering go away if you disable compiz?
[05:42] <mMezquitale> TheEpitome, yes, I had to raise the amount of memory for my video card in the BIOS settings, justin.tv played a lot better on my laptop  on my laptop for some reason until I went into my BIOS and changed a setting for video memory
[05:43] <TheEpitome> no.
[05:43] <sunil2> i got "Partition table entries are not in disk order" after "sudo fdisk -l"
[05:43] <mMezquitale> TheEpitome, this is ubuntu channel's ubuntu support, for active bug discussion use launchpad
[05:43] <TheEpitome> its not a memory issue, i can fullscreen it and it works fine.
[05:43] <chibihogoshino> im assuming that the modem is a softmodem.
[05:44] <badbrain> ok.. games with 3d graphics are crashing.. i have an ATI radeon hd 3470 graphics card with proprietary drivers installed.... does this mean i need to update my drivers?
[05:44] <sunil2> i got "Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB,<PHONE_NUMBER>96 bytes

[05:45] <Jordan_U> TheEpitome: What graphics card?
[05:46] <TheEpitome> I don't think its the same issue, it's not choppy or anything, and the performance is good, it just flickers a lot
[05:46] <TheEpitome> it happens on both my nvidia on my desktop and intel mobile 4 on my laptop
[05:46] <mMezquitale> TheEpitome, it must be a video card issue then, you might want to post the specs of your video card, if anyone knows the answer they will surely reply

[05:47] <badbrain> flickering video? is it a compiz thing?
[05:48] <Beltz> Is it normal to get a feeling of immense internal satisfaction whenever you run software updates :(
[05:48] <TheEpitome> nope, not compiz.  compiz is disabled
[05:48] <LatinMcG_OsXPUbu> help i did by accident sudo rm /boot/*31-* instead of sudo rm /boot/*31-14*
[05:48] <LatinMcG_OsXPUbu>  so i lost it all
[05:49] <TheEpitome> happens in multiple browsers, multiple architectures, multiple unique video cards on different machines (intel and nvidia), the only thing left is flashplugin itself.
[05:49] <lion1> any body running GNS3 here?
[05:49] <mMezquitale> TheEpitome, you could try using other flash plugins
[05:50] <TheEpitome> i could but im not looking for a workaround im trying to help get it fixed

[06:02] <mMezquitale> !hello | zzzxzzz
[06:02] <skooch> does anybody know how to install adobe flash player
[06:02] <sunil2> then next what?
[06:02] <zzzxzzz> hi guys i can download ubuntu direct in my laptop without cd?
[06:03] <zzzxzzz> hi guys i can download ubuntu direct in my laptop without cd?
[06:03] <mMezquitale> skooch, usually I just go to youtube.com, clink on a link that sends me to the adobe website, I download it and install it, works all the time, you can also use "add/remove" and search for flash, youll get plenty of hits
[06:03] <mMezquitale> zzzxzzz, not exactly but you can install wubi if youre using windows
[06:04] <zzzxzzz> thanks
[06:04] <kz_> hi all there
[06:04] <sunil2> after using live gparted CD how to proceed???
[06:05] <Jordan_U> sunil2: Install Ubuntu in the free space
[06:05] <bgjsl> hi
[06:05] <Jordan_U> sunil2: You should know that you won't be able to boot ( even windows ) untill you re-install Ubuntu
[06:05] <bgjsl> some question I have
[06:06] <mMezquitale> sunil2, are you boot up into gparted you remove sda8, sda9,sda10, and sda11---depending on what you want to do, you can reuse those partitions or you can completely delete them and create new ones, remember---you need a swap partition, and a partition for "/", everything else is optional
[06:06] <sunil2> if i do so all existing 9.04 versions are  deleted. am i correct?
[06:06] <bgjsl> some question I have
[06:07] <Jordan_U> !ask | bgjsl
[06:07] <bgjsl> sunil2
[06:07] <bgjsl> 9.04 is better than 9,10
[06:07] <zzzxzzz> in my laptop is only ubuntu linux, but now i want to clear and install windows then linux, i tryed many times but no success, so i can't reinstall the windows
[06:07] <mMezquitale> sunil2, if you remove sda8, sda9, sda10, and sda11 you will completely remove linux from your hard drive, you wont be able to boot to windows until you either reinstall linux or fix your master boot record
[06:08] <sunil2> how to enter into live gparted CD???
[06:09] <munky> #amsn
[06:09] <Jordan_U> sunil2: Just boot from the Ubuntu install CD
[06:09] <mMezquitale> zzzxzzz, you need to use GPARTED, you need to erase all partitions first---you will lose all data--then create a partition for windows, then I suggest you create an extended partition and use all space with the extended partition, then create a swap and "/" partition for linux
[06:09] <sunil2> ok. shall i procedd now?
[06:10] <Jordan_U> mMezquitale: He doesn't want to remove windows
[06:10] <bgjsl> jordan_U
[06:10] <mMezquitale> sunil2, boot into the ubuntu install CD, dont select to install ubuntu only to boot up
[06:11] <bgjsl> jordan_U
[06:11] <Jordan_U> bgjsl: Yes?
[06:11] <mMezquitale> Jordan_U, precisely, mention that windows will get erased if you get rid of the windows partition
[06:11] <The-Protagonist_> hello i need some help, for some reason my wireless card is for some reason is using eth1 as the network interface, i am using the 9.10 distro at the momen
[06:12] <The-Protagonist_> and i need to use either wifi0 or wlan0 interface
[06:12] <zzzxzzz> how can i erase all paertitions?
[06:12] <The-Protagonist_> is this a diver problem or hardware issue...
[06:12] <zzzxzzz> how can i erase all partitions?
[06:12] <bgjsl> friend  you know how to run proevolution soccer 2007 in ubuntu 9.04 but rightly
[06:12] <bgjsl> ??
[06:12] <Jordan_U> The-Protagonist_: There is nothing wrong with the wireless card showing up as eth0
[06:12] <mMezquitale> zzzxzzz, use gparted or ask in the forums
[06:12] <Jordan_U> bgjsl: What is your first language?
[06:13] <bleepbloop> when booting into ubuntu netbook remix from my usb stick, how long should it take about?
[06:13] <The-Protagonist_> Jordan_U: well i am trying to use aircrack for testing purposes and i cannot use the eth1 interface
[06:13] <bgjsl> danish and english
[06:13] <mMezquitale> zz_kiwifunk, Jordan_U excellent point, zzzxzzz what is your first language?
[06:13] <bgjsl> Why??
[06:13] <sunil2> once i boot from cd i'm getting only the following options 1.try ubuntu without changing your my computer 2.install ubuntu 3. memory checkup which one i need to select to proceed
[06:13] <LatinMcG_OsXPUbu> gparted is in ubuntu 9.10 live CD booted under system>administration
[06:13] <Jordan_U> bgjsl: There is a danish channel for Ubuntu support
[06:13] <zzzxzzz> no sorry
[06:13] <mMezquitale> sunil2, use option 1
[06:14] <bgjsl> Hey jordan
[06:14] <zzzxzzz> hungarian
[06:14] <sunil2> presently i'm using that option only
[06:14] <The-Protagonist_> does anyone know how to switch a network card from eth0 to wifi0/wlan0...?
[06:15] <bgjsl> we can keep a conversation in english too
[06:15] <LatinMcG_OsXPUbu> bleepblop ive had issues bootign in my g31m-es2L on usb.. sloowww  on my laptop is fast.

[06:15] <LatinMcG_OsXPUbu> usb1 usb 2 speeds
[06:15] <mMezquitale> zzzxzzz, translate this into hungarian:  "answer to your question" and "use",  and then afterwards the program you are looking for is --->gparted
[06:16] <bgjsl> if you do not know the ans just say it!!
[06:16] <LatinMcG_OsXPUbu> ubuntu live.. vnc.. .. priceless
[06:17] <mMezquitale> The-Protagonist_, whatever it is you are attempting to do it is not working, this is ubuntu channel official support
[06:17] <zzzxzzz> thanks i understand, but where can i find the 'gparted' ?
[06:17] <mMezquitale> zz_kiwifunk, "ubuntu cd", boot up to "ubuntu cd", use option 1
[06:17] <theadmin> zzzxzzz: System->Admininstration->GPartED. Or you might need to install it. Do "sudo apt-get install gparted"
[06:18] <mMezquitale> zzzxzzz, , "ubuntu cd", boot up to "ubuntu cd", use option 1
[06:18] <theadmin> mMezquitale: Can't it run from a installed system?
[06:18] <zzzxzzz> ok thanks i boot with ubuntu with usb
[06:18] <zzzxzzz> it will works?
[06:18] <mMezquitale> theadmin, you cant work on mounted partitions
[06:19] <theadmin> zzzxzzz: Yes, it should.
[06:19] <theadmin> mMezquitale: I don't see any problem with that, unless you try to do something with your root partiton
[06:19] <The-Protagonist_> hey does anyone know if there is an aircrack channel?
[06:19] <theadmin> The-Protagonist_: It's not a place to ask here.
[06:19] <PFY> The-Protagonist_: /msg alis list *TOPIC*
[06:20] <zzzxzzz> thank wery much, I wish you and for all chaters happy new year
[06:20] <mMezquitale> theadmin, "/" falls in the subset of "all"
[06:20] <zzzxzzz> buy
[06:21] <theadmin> mMezquitale: I see.
[06:21] <bgjsl> zzzxzzz
[06:21] <bgjsl> the same to you
[06:21] <zzzxzzz> thanks
[06:21] <theadmin> Well, I didn't mess with GPartED much myself, only resizing... :D
[06:22] <whu> hey,In Stevens's <Unix network programming>,there is a concept called "value-result arguments",what does it mean?~
[06:22] <bgjsl> maybe any body there knows how to run a game using vbox in ubuntu ...right???
[06:23] <theadmin> bgjsl: I do, but that's quite offtopic, please PM me.
[06:23] <mMezquitale> theadmin, you can do *wonders* with gparted, even recover your partitions after you erase them LoL
[06:23] <badbrain> i have downloaded a driver for my graphics card.. which is apparently "automated".. ends in .run , and when i click it on it, it wants me to choose an application.. what do i do with this file?
[06:23] <prince> hi
[06:23] <theadmin> mMezquitale: o_O
[06:23] <prince> anyone here??
[06:23] <theadmin> badbrain: chmod +x it first
[06:23] <Jordan_U> bgjsl: Just install Windows in virtualbox and install the guest additions and enable 3D accelleration
[06:24] <badbrain> oh yeah =)
[06:24] <mMezquitale> whu, this channel is for ubuntu support, try #perl
[06:24] <whu> Thx,got it~
[06:24] <mMezquitale> !ot
[06:25] <theadmin> o_O... #ubuntu-offtopic? Wasn't it #ubuntu-social someday?
[06:26] <mMezquitale> !ot | theadmin
[06:26] <theadmin> Sorry, mMezquitale... just was surprised of the name change
[06:27] <Jordan_U> theadmin: It's been -offtopic for years ( if it was ever anything else )
[06:27] <theadmin> Jordan_U: Someday it's been #ubuntu-social, this channel still exists but redirects to #ubuntu-offtopic. Oh well, whatever, it's not ontopic already
[06:28] <mMezquitale> theadmin, you must be way before our time, sir
[06:30] <bgjsl> Jordan_U
[06:30] <Jordan_U> bgjsl: Yes?
[06:30] <sunil2> is gparted available in 9.04????
[06:30] <Jordan_U> sunil2: Yes
[06:30] <bgjsl> Thanks ...friend..let me try following yr suggestion...ok??
[06:31] <mMezquitale> sunil2, yes, use "sudo gparted" fo fire up gparted
[06:31] <Faithful> does xorg actually create a real xorg.conf file when it runs... or is it possible to see the actual conf it is using
[06:31] <theadmin> Faithful: It creates it, in /etc/X11, as far as I know
[06:31] <Faithful> Hmmm...
[06:32] <Jordan_U> Faithful: No, Xorg is configured dynamically when there is no Xorg.conf
[06:32] <Jordan_U> Faithful: You can get some information about the automatic configuration from /var/log/xorg.0.log
[06:33] <Faithful> Jordan_U, thanks...
[06:33] <Jordan_U> Faithful: np
[06:33] <tos_> is there an Ubuntu package that can do GUI user management to 'set quotas, restrict apps, set limitations, # of processes, etc....'
[06:34] <Faithful> Jordan_U, yup, what I was looking for.
[06:34] <Tesssa> upgraded 9.4 to 9.10.my sound card works ok but in 9.4 could bring up the login window and access sound files for,login.logout and other sounds but in 9.10 they are missing why and how to get them back
[06:35] <lussier> hi
[06:35] <Jordan_U> Tesssa: Upstream Gnome completely rewrote GDM and haven't written the configuratin app yet
[06:35] <Tesssa> an old saying if it works don't fix it
[06:36] <tos_> how can i completely remove kde and install gnome?
[06:36] <Jordan_U> !puregnome | tos_
[06:36] <Tesssa> so they will sort it out then for 10.4
[06:36] <Jordan_U> Tesssa: Hopefully
[06:37] <tos_> ok and that will remove all of the extras and updates that kde added?
[06:37] <Jordan_U> tos_: Yes
[06:37] <tos_> Thanks Jordan
[06:37] <Jordan_U> tos_: np
[06:37] <tos_> gdm is less memory usage right?
[06:37] <tos_> than kde
[06:38] <theadmin> tos_: Yeah, GNOME uses less.\
[06:38] <tos_> cool
[06:38] <Tesssa> thanks Jordan
[06:38] <tos_> me deleting kde.......
[06:38] <theadmin> tos_: XFCE uses even less though :D
[06:38] <tos_> xfce??!
[06:38] <theadmin> tos_: Yeah.
[06:38] <tos_> i need that then
[06:38] <tos_> 312mb ram
[06:38] <Tesssa> i use xubuntu and its very good
[06:39] <theadmin> tos: Okay, just replace the "ubuntu-desktop" part with "xubuntu-desktop"
[06:39] <kinja-sheep> tos_: XFCE!
[06:39] <kinja-sheep> tos_: Err, I mean XDM!
[06:39] <tos_> xubuntu-desktop is xfce?
[06:39] <Tesssa> yep
[06:39] <tos_> nice
[06:39] <kinja-sheep> tos_: lubuntu-desktop!
[06:40] <tos_> ?
[06:40] <tos_> confusing the hell out of me
[06:40] <tos_> lol
[06:40] <Jordan_U> tos_: There are other options that are signifigantly lighter than XFCE but are harder to learn
[06:40] <The-Protagonist_> does anyone know how to switch a network card from eth0 to wifi0/wlan0...?
[06:40] <The-Protagonist_> i belive that there is a command for this...
[06:40] <Tesssa> ah tried lubuntu and the website advises going to fedora lor it
[06:41] <theadmin> Jordan_U: Fluxbox, enlightment? Those are... just weird.
[06:41] <neezer> anyone know anything about BSD games? specifically cribbage/
[06:41] <jangaj> The-Protagonist_-> you have to fiddle with the udev rules in  /etc/udev/rules.d/
[06:41] <neezer> I've been trying to play it in my terminal, and I keep getting stuck at a certain point in starting a game.
[06:41] <The-Protagonist_> thanks jangaj for the tip
[06:42] <scottj> What's the best console web browser these days?
[06:43] <jangaj> scottj  links
[06:46] <theadmin> scottj: He means lynx, most likely
[06:48] <arghh2d2> elinks
[06:48] <arghh2d2> lynx sucks
[06:48] <theadmin> arghh2d2: Well, I'm not much into console stuff.
[06:48] <jangaj> hey when i say links i meant links not lynx, lynx are the old stuff
[06:49] <arghh2d2> links-g is better than elinks but elinks is better than links without the graphics...imo
[06:49] <sunil2>   I opened /dev/sda-Gparted using “sudo gparted" . Now how to delete sda8-sda11???
[06:50] <theadmin> sunil, just use the delete option from right click menu
[06:50] <jangaj> arghh2d2-> there is links maybe different from elinks
[06:50] <arghh2d2> theadmin: 90% of the apps i use are console
[06:50] <Draggin> Good morning. Could anyone tell me if there's any way of installing Ubuntu onto an existing system (overwrite install) without reformatting the partitions? I want to leave them intact (and especially my /home partition) to save myself a lot of restore time...
[06:51] <arghh2d2> jangaj: yeah, elinks is different than links and links-g is different than links
[06:51] <bleepbloop> buh
[06:51] <jangaj> Draggin-> if your /home is separate, you can re-install without wiping and creating a new partitions..
[06:52] <sunil2> i got "unable to delete /dev/sda8!  Please unmount any logical partitions having a number higher than 8"
[06:52] <Draggin> jangaj, but it always takes me through the partitioning bit in the installation, after which it always reformats the partitions, does it not?
[06:52] <theadmin> sunil2: Choose them all, from 8 to 11, and then unmount.
[06:52] <jangaj> Draggin-> you may have to reformat the existing / partitions but no need to format /home
[06:53] <theadmin> Draggin: No, it only formats it if you request so... well, you need to specify stuff manually.
[06:53] <Draggin> jangaj, theadmin - how do I inform the installer that I want to install the OS to the existing partitions and keep their configuration intact without reformatting them?
[06:53] <theadmin> Draggin: In the installer, on the partitioning screen, just uncheck "format" in the properties of needed partition
[06:53] <reeniginEesreveR> is there any utility which can tell me information about a particular .so file? like its version number etc etc
[06:54] <jangaj> Draggin-> select the existing partition to install, leave the /home separate and dont reformat /home but click okay to reformat the others
[06:54] <bleepbloop> how can I make my usb drive bootable, using windows 7? ithought i could with diskpart but it doesnt seem like i can :-/
[06:54] <arghh2d2> Draggin: in other words, pay very close attention to the partitioning phase of the install
[06:54] <sunil2> how to unmount sda8-sda11???
[06:54] <Draggin> theadmin... For real... it's that simple...?  After a full installation, can I change the partition type (from ext3 to ext4 for example) in gparted or something similar without losing data?
[06:55] <jangaj> Draggin-> same cfdisk behind those
[06:56] <Draggin> jangaj - sorry?
[06:56] <jangaj> Draggin-> i dont know about ext4 yet
[06:56] <firekool> My network connection on ubuntu drops randomly to where I have to restart the computer.
[06:56] <theadmin> Draggin: Impossible, those are different filesystems, you can only change them by formatting.
[06:57] <Draggin> jangaj - thank you. Did you see my previous question though?  About the possibility of not formatting partitions when using the alternative installation disc?
[06:57] <jangaj> Draggin-> during repartitioning i believe it uses cfdisk or fdisk in the background as the command
[06:57] <theadmin> Draggin: He said it's possible
[06:57] <jangaj> Draggin-> yes it also applies to alternate installs
[06:57] <Hilikus> how can i find all files in my system thta belong to a specific group?
[06:57] <Draggin> theadmin, okay thanks :)  Any big reasons to consider ext4 though?
[06:57] <theadmin> Hilikus: ...Group?
[06:58] <Draggin> jangaj, theadmin - awesome. Thanks
[06:58] <jangaj> yw
[06:58] <theadmin> Draggin: It's faster, a lot, and can manage bigger partitions and files.
[06:58] <Hilikus> theadmin: all files have an owner and group
[06:58] <sunil2> how to unmount sda8-sda11 at a time???
[06:58] <Draggin> theadmin... Hmmm... Now I'm tempted... But that'll be so much work... Maybe some other day
[06:58] <jangaj> sunil-> you can only umount one at a time, but you can have a for loop to do it one by one
[06:59] <Draggin> Thanks guys - let me go and try to fix my mucked up system...  I'll probably be back in here soon :)
[07:00] <Draggin> Ciao!
[07:02] <linuxuz3r> where new year party at?
[07:02] <theadmin> linuxuz3r: LOL, I doubt we have a channel for that.
[07:03] <wowoto> linuxuz3r: at #freenode or #ubuntu
[07:03] <theadmin> wowoto: Nononono, #ubuntu is for support ONLY.
[07:04] <Sacho> on 9.04 - the whole system seems to hang consistently whenever I come back from work(wired connection) and switch to my wireless connection at home. How could I debug/solve this?
[07:05] <firekool> I am trying to think of a reason why my linux system drops connection randomly does anyone have any idea?
[07:05] <Tesssa> why when i downloaded 9.10 and burned to cd at the lowest speed of 2x come to do a new install going through the install get as far as 3of6 click forward and it jumps to 4of7 missing the partioner so cant install
[07:05] <hanasaki> how can squid be made to forward  squid -> dansguardian?        the reverse is easy because dansguardian can be told what to next proxy is.....
[07:06] <wowoto> Tesssa: check the md5 before burnning into the cd
[07:06] <Tesssa> and how do i do that
[07:06] <wowoto> Tesssa: or,you can install by live USB
[07:06] <theadmin> Tesssa: md5sum filename?
[07:07] <Tesssa> md5sum you have lost me
[07:07] <wowoto> Tesssa: md5sum *.iso
[07:07] <tom_> hey, was wondering if anyone could help me out with ssh public key authentication
[07:08] <tom_> i had it set up but now i want to add another user
[07:08] <tom_> so im cat id_pub.rsa >> authorized_keys
[07:08] <tom_> but login still isnt working
[07:09] <nascentmind> hi. When i do a hdparm /dev/sda i geta  HDIO_GET_UNMASKINTR failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device and this happens for HDIO_GET_DMA and HDIO_GET_KEEPSETTINGS.
[07:10] <Tesssa> mm live USB will have to buy a usb stick
[07:12] <ozzloy> http://pastebin.com/m2a159b33 can i get some help compiling here?
[07:15] <bleepbloop> where can i download old versions of ubuntu netbook remix from?
[07:15] <APERSON> bleepbloop, should be available from releases.ubuntu.com
[07:16] <bleepbloop> do you know if UNR 9.04 was drastically lesser in quality than 9.10?
[07:17] <APERSON> bleepbloop, they should be greater in quality the higher the version numbers :)
[07:17] <ubupenna> I have a dilemma.  I just upgraded (using the update manager in Ubuntu 9.04) to Ubuntu 9.10.  My sound card no longer works, and performance is ridiculously slow.  I have a Windows XP partition that I cannot harm or touch that Ubuntu is next to.  How do I go about doing a fresh install of Ubuntu without touching Windows?
[07:18] <APERSON> ubuntulog, run an installer from a livecd/usb
[07:18] <theadmin> Excuse me, of course... I just looked at packages.ubuntu.com and saw Lucid packages o_O so it's in development?
[07:18] <APERSON> ubupenna, *
[07:18] <redDEADresolve> i install ubuntu minimal and wasn
[07:18] <booh> theadmin: yes, /join #ubuntu+1
[07:18] <bleepbloop> APERSON: I assumed that, but I'm having a lot of trouble making my USB stick bootable with 9.10, and found a guide for installing the .img of 9.04, so i assumed i could just put 9.04 on and upgrade from there?
[07:18] <redDEADresolve> t having a problem until i realized my extract here right click in nautilus is missing. any help?
[07:18] <theadmin> booh: Meh, just asked. Cool.
[07:18] <booh> bleepbloop: that will work
[07:19] <APERSON> bleepbloop, use unetbooting to make a bootable usb stick
[07:19] <bleepbloop> APERSON: Ive tried that
[07:19] <APERSON> bleepbloop, or the official usb startup creator ubuntu provides
[07:19] <ozzloy> http://www.arakhne.org/ricoh/index.html http://pastebin.com/db821d9d anyone know what compat_ioctl errors mean?  or how to fix them?
[07:19] <bleepbloop> APERSON: i dont have any other ubuntu systems
[07:19] <APERSON> bleepbloop, run a live cd, you can create a usb image from there
[07:20] <bleepbloop> APERSON: I don't have a cd drive that can burn dvds, so I'm kind of limited to using the USB
[07:20] <nomad77> bleepbloop: use syslinux in repos? only makes it bootable doesnt install an image,files to usb-stick
[07:20] <djharby> what about making it persistent install?
[07:21] <APERSON> bleepbloop, you don't need a dvd afaik, but here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1288604
[07:21] <xorss> #ubuntu-ru
[07:21] <legend2440> redDEADresolve: DO YOU HAVE  FILE-ROLLER AND UNRAR INSTALLED?
[07:21] <legend2440> oops sorry about caps
[07:21] <bleepbloop> i tried doing a persistent install with pendrive but i keep getting errors in the usb whne i check fo rthem at the main screen
[07:22] <APERSON> bleepbloop, that's how I make my bootable flash drives
[07:22] <bleepbloop> APERSON: awesome, thanks! I'll look it over
[07:22] <booh> bleepbloop: why not do a regular install from flash drive?
[07:22] <heoa> How can I specify default starting programs?
[07:22] <booh> heoa: servers or desktops?
[07:22] <bleepbloop> booh: what do you mean by regular install?
[07:22] <heoa> I mean when I am in Lynx, it start up ugly GUI thing, but I want console
[07:23] <heoa> booh: server
[07:23] <djharby> where are you having the problem?
[07:23] <booh> bleepbloop: something that is not a 'persistent liveusb install'
[07:23] <booh> heoa: update-rc.d
[07:23] <booh> heoa: if there is not startup script, write one, or use rc.local
[07:23] <wastrel> it's past my bed time
[07:24] <bleepbloop> booh: I think i tried that and ran into problems too, I was also under the impression that pendrive is only for the desktop versions?
[07:24] <redDEADresolve> legend2440, yes i do i can unzip, untar and tar zip and rar the right click extract here ption is missing
[07:24] <wastrel> booh: you want to start with no GUI?
[07:24] <heoa> booh: any idea which script manages the Gnome window thing
[07:24] <booh> heoa: sorry i am not familiar with gnome
[07:24] <reeniginEesreveR> i wanna see if a particular package is up to date without actually updating. How do i do that?
[07:25] <booh> wastrel: i use ubuntu on my servers
[07:25] <heoa> booh: just meant the GUI, not sure what it is
[07:25] <booh> wastrel: so yes, i do want to start with no GUI
[07:25] <wastrel> yeah sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove
[07:26] <ranjan> can any body on this network can tell me which is the best video editing tool on ubuntu 9.10
[07:26] <bleepbloop> so would installing UNR 9.04 and then upgrading from that to UNR 9.10 be possible or would it be causing myself unnecessary frustration?
[07:27] <bgjsl> HEOA
[07:27] <googol> I seemed to have caused an error in my root partition and now the system is only mouting read only in safe-mode, how can I fix this
[07:27] <redDEADresolve> bleepbloop, unessary frustration
[07:27] <jussi01> bleepbloop: I agree
[07:27] <mneptok> bleepbloop: x3
[07:27] <wowoto> googol: run fsck
[07:27] <bgjsl> gui=graphic user inetrface means
[07:27] <jussi01> !best | ranjan
[07:27] <booh> ranjan: blender
[07:28] <booh> ranjan: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8589
[07:28] <tos_> how can i backup all user dirs and passwords etc if i am formatting and reinstalling OS?
[07:28] <jussi01> ranjan: I have about 3 or 4 that I would recomend, depending on your experience and needs
[07:28] <googol> thx wowoto
[07:28] <booh> tos_: save /home, /etc/shadow, /etc/passwd, /etc/group
[07:28] <bleepbloop> I wonder why I'm having so much difficulty with this, most people seem to have a relatively easy time doing usb installs?
[07:28] <tos_> how can i zip them from console?
[07:28] <jussi01> reeniginEesreveR: apt-cache policy packagename
[07:28] <wowoto> googol: you r welcome
[07:29] <tos_> the command to zip them all
[07:29] <booh> tos_: tar cvf archive.tar /home /etc/shadow /etc/passwd /etc/group
[07:29] <tos_> thanks
[07:29] <jussi01> bleepbloop: what is the issue? where do things go wrong?
[07:29] <mostafa_> can anyone name a good antiproxy in ubuntu?
[07:29] <wowoto> bleepbloop: have a look at : www.unetbootin.com
[07:29] <_ganymede> working on kernel26.img in ubuntu...what are the basic steps to extract, edit, and repack the files inside of an .img? bsdtar, gedit, mkinitramfs???
[07:30] <bleepbloop> jussi01:  I use unetbootin to put the stuff onto the usb stick
[07:30] <jussi01> !usb | bleepbloop
[07:30] <jussi01> bleepbloop: read that?
[07:30] <mneptok> bleepbloop: what distro/version are you using now?
[07:30] <heoa> bgjsl: ?
[07:30] <bleepbloop> mneptok: none
[07:30] <bleepbloop> :-P
[07:30] <mneptok> bleepbloop: then stick with unetbootin
[07:30] <bleepbloop> im typing on a mac running os x now and the netbook has windows 7 on it
[07:31] <booh> bleepbloop: how did you get windows 7 on the netbook? i want to try that
[07:31] <nikre> I want to install webmin to my server but installation fails because dependencies on perl interpreter. ( http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m30289fba ) Can anyone pls help?
[07:31] <bleepbloop> my issue is that whenever i try to boot into UNR from the stick it gets stuck on the spinning brown ball and never goes anywhere
[07:31] <booh> bleepbloop: an USB optical drive?
[07:31] <wowoto> bleepbloop: in fact , you can do it in these way : extract the iso ,then ,copy all the files to the usb,reboot and boot from USB
[07:31] <bleepbloop> booh: no, a flash drive
[07:31] <mostafa_> can anyone name a good antiproxy in ubuntu?
[07:32] <bleepbloop> booh: and windows 7 came on the netbook
[07:32] <booh> mostafa_: what is an antiproxy?
[07:32] <jussi01> bleepbloop: on the usb page from the bot, there is a utility to help you make the stick from windows
[07:32] <bgjsl> maybe any body there knows how to run a game using vbox in ubuntu ...right???
[07:32] <unop> nikre, did you follow the suggestion that apt-get is giving you?
[07:32] <booh> mostafa_: an ssh reverse proxy works for most things
[07:33] <unop> !webmin | nikre
[07:33] <bleepbloop> jussi01: those guides always seem to skimp on the formatting of the flash drive though , which is where im getting tripped up i am pretty sure
[07:33] <booh> bgjsl: do not run games in virtualbox
[07:33] <booh> bgjsl: i mean, performance is horrible
[07:33] <redDEADresolve> bleepbloop, format it to fat32, use unetbootin to put an iso of ubuntu 9.10 on the disk
[07:33] <booh> nikre: try cPanel
[07:33] <jussi01> bleepbloop: what redDEADresolve said ;)
[07:34] <bleepbloop> an optical disk?
[07:34] <booh> nikre: or try lxlabs kloxo, or ebox... but don't use Plesk
[07:34] <redDEADresolve> bleepbloop, if you want unr after install sudo apt-get install ubuntu-netbook-remix in a terminal
[07:35] <bleepbloop> redDEADresolve: sorry, but I'm a super noob so that didnt really make much sense to me :[
[07:35] <redDEADresolve> bleepbloop, what was hard about format the disk to fat32 AND use unetbootin to put ubuntu 9.10 on your usb drive???
[07:35] <ProgressivPirate> I plan on building a media center based on ubuntu. What's a good app to run as a frontend to launch all my apps: xbmc, emulators, firefox,music
[07:36] <booh> redDEADresolve: unetbootin will format it for you
[07:36] <bleepbloop> redDEADresolve: nothing, I've exactly that numerous times, but it doesn't seem to work
[07:36] <redDEADresolve> booh, you are right.
[07:36] <bleepbloop> I've done*
[07:36] <redDEADresolve> bleepbloop, then IT IS YOUR DRIVE
[07:36] <booh> i had many problems with unetbootin and thought it was my drive
[07:37] <booh> it wasn't
[07:37] <bleepbloop> ive lurked forums where people were able to boot from my exact drive
[07:37] <booh> bleepbloop: have you tried the builtin usb-creator?
[07:37] <bleepbloop> i may be a noob but i know how to use google :-P
[07:37] <redDEADresolve> bleepbloop, maybe its a sign then.
[07:37] <bleepbloop> i dont have any other computers running ubuntu
[07:38] <bleepbloop> yeah
[07:38] <bleepbloop> i guess i should go get another stick
[07:39] <bleepbloop> im just not exactly eager to plunk down more money though
[07:39] <booh> bleepbloop: 1,2 and 4GB sticks should be cheap
[07:39] <redDEADresolve> bleepbloop, that would be wise. sucks to be cheap. you get a full working os for the cost of a drive. seems like you should be happy you just have to buy a drive.
[07:39] <booh> lol
[07:39] <booh> redDEADresolve: ok no more picking on bleepbloop :)
[07:40] <bleepbloop> haha i AM happy
[07:40] <bleepbloop> i would just be happy if the drive i already bought would work
[07:40] <redDEADresolve> booh, i guess its free as in freedom not price
[07:40] <bleepbloop> it sucks when stuff doesnt do what it's supposed to be able to do
[07:41] <redDEADresolve> bleepbloop, ive helped 100s of people but ubuntu on netbooks. its usually the drive. check out www.ubuntumini.com probably has some guides you might find helpful
[07:41] <bleepbloop> aight, sweet
[07:41] <nikre> Actually I need a simple gui for configurations on dns server. I will search for cPanel, ebox, lxlabs and kloxo. and from what you said ebox and cPanel are better choices.
[07:43] <booh> nikre: ahh, those programs will probably be too much then, they are full server management control panels
[07:43] <bgjsl> heoa
[07:43] <bgjsl> tell me friend
[07:43] <redDEADresolve> can some help with extract to here in nautilus. i built ubuntu from scratch and cant seem to find documenation to get it working. file-roller works but no right click extract to here option.
[07:44] <bgjsl> booh
[07:44] <bgjsl> tell me friend
[07:44] <bgjsl> about yr experience using vbox for games
[07:46] <booh> bgjsl: my advice is to use WINE instead
[07:46] <booh> !wine | bgjsl
[07:47] <booh> bgjsl: assuming that is windows games you want to run
[07:47] <titancompu> I'm having trouble connecting to a wifi network with my Airport Extreme. The network is detected and shows up in the wireless list, but it won't accept the WEP key to connect to it.
[07:47] <killjoy> anybody here working on a kernel re-mod project?
[07:47] <_ganymede>  what are the basic steps to extract, edit, and repack the files inside a .img?  or which man() should i be looking at?
[07:48] <booh> titancompu: is it a complex WEP key? hex or alphanumeric? can you check the box to enable cleartext while you type it?
[07:48] <bgjsl> booh wine does not work good for that goal
[07:48] <booh> bgjsl: for the goal of running windows games it is the best
[07:48] <booh> bgjsl: which game are you trying to run? check appdb
[07:48] <booh> !winehq
[07:48] <APERSON> _ganymede, I usually mount the img and work from there
[07:48] <booh> !appdb
[07:48] <titancompu> booh, I check the box and see the key. It's format is all numbers. the length would be<PHONE_NUMBER>111 . Does that make it complex?
[07:49] <_ganymede> APERSON: sudo apt-get install ???
[07:49] <booh> titancompu: 13 digits length?
[07:50] <booh> titancompu: try something more standard length, like 40-bit hex
[07:50] <APERSON> _ganymede, I use furius iso mounter
[07:50] <titancompu> booh, how would a 40-bit hex look if it was all numerical?
[07:52] <bgjsl> booh wine does not work good for that goal
[07:52] <wowoto> ！ ask | wowoto
[07:53] <booh> titancompu: well, hex has characters A-F ...
[07:53] <wowoto> ! ask | wowoto
[07:53] <booh> bgjsl: provide evidence and i will believe you are not talking out your backside
[07:53] <_ganymede> APERSON: thanks
[07:53] <APERSON> _ganymede, no problem :)  I love that app

[08:06] <Shine1> hi all:  I encounter a problem with external monitor with laptop installed ubuntu 9.10. If I plug in external monitor while the system is running, the system will freeze(black screen), external shows nothing but the indicator light is on, there will be no problem if I start the system with the external monitor plugged in. My labtop is thinkpad x60, and external monitor is a dell. Anyone has any suggestion regarding this issue?  T
[08:08] <bgjsl> yeah keep back 9.04
[08:08] <bgjsl> better than 9,10
[08:08] <disappearedng_> how do I analyze what are the file types under a certain directory
[08:08] <bgjsl> shine1
[08:09] <Shine1> hello bgjsl!
[08:09] <Jamed> disappearedng_: file <path to file>
[08:09] <Chris8> hey room, having problems staying connected to a wifi using wicd... does it update automatically, or do i hafta add repos?  or is it just crap, or something else?

[08:10] <thbp> hey
[08:10] <thbp> can someone help me?
[08:10] <thbp> with ubuntu on thumbdrive?
[08:10] <Jamed> !ask
[08:10] <disappearedng_> Jamed: what? I am talking about recursively under all the directories I wan to find out how different type of files there are
[08:11] <thbp> i want to run ubuntu on
[08:11] <thbp> a thumbdrive and then have open arena on it that possible?
[08:11] <Jamed> disappearedng_: find <directory> -type f -exec file \;   might work
[08:12] <bgjsl> shine 1
[08:12] <Jamed> disappearedng_: no it does not... forget it
[08:12] <bgjsl> use 9.04
[08:12] <APERSON> thbp, yes, create a persistent usb image with the included usb startup creator
[08:13] <legend2440> disappearedng_: open the directory in nautilus and choose List View  there is a column called File Type
[08:13] <thbp> hmm not understanding
[08:13] <thbp> can running a live cd then installing on the live cd
[08:13] <disappearedng_> that's not recursively, i have to press that
[08:13] <thbp> to flashdrieve?
[08:13] <petsounds> !usb > thbp
[08:13] <wowoto> ls -F
[08:14] <skyllo> how to install scripts in ubuntu? like this example: sistem.sh?
[08:15] <bgjsl> skyllo
[08:15] <bgjsl> use gedit
[08:15] <skyllo> hi
[08:15] <Shine1> hi, bgjsl. Thanks for your suggestion. I need to consider it since I kind of like 9.10, it looks more beatiful :)
[08:16] <skyllo> I'm still new to linux could you explain how?
[08:16] <Jamed> disappearedng_: no i got it: find <directory> -type f -exec file {} \;
[08:16] <skyllo> bgjsl I'm still new to linux could you explain how?
[08:16] <Jamed> s/no/now
[08:17] <disappearedng_> skyllo: you don't install sripts
[08:17] <disappearedng_> every file has certain bits,
[08:17] <disappearedng_> like read bits, write bits, and there's also an execution bit
[08:18] <zl> chmod +x exam*.sh
[08:18] <disappearedng_> each bit allows you to perform a certain action, and if you want to run your script, you have to set the execution bit and then execute it
[08:18] <skyllo> #!/bin/bash
[08:18] <skyllo> #informaçao do sistema

[08:19] <disappearedng_> actually I really doubt anyone reads the topic nowadays
[08:21] <Shine1> hi, bgjsl. So you think there is no easy way to fix the external problem in 9.10?
[08:23] <bgjsl> shine 1
[08:24] <bgjsl> everything is possible but 9.04 is more stable and maybe has no problem about it
[08:24] <pzagorodnya> hey ppl
[08:24] <Shine1> Got you~  thanks bgjsl!
[08:24] <bgjsl> just try it again
[08:24] <a-noob> hi, all of a sudden my wireless has stopped working on my karmic koala dell inspiron 1545 box. iwconfig or ifconfig -a doesn't show anything beside eth0 and lo. I have test lspcii which show BCM4312.
[08:24] <bgjsl> shine1
[08:25] <bgjsl> you are welcome
[08:25] <wowoto> a-noob: can reboot solve that？
[08:25] <a-noob> wowoto: nope, now trying with a different driver. gotta reboot

[08:43] <myownserver> I have a smtp server to connect to via my ISP if I need that.
[08:43] <Snump> tomorrow I'll take it apart again and put some Arctic Silver on the CPU heat sinc just to make sure  The fan is working pretty hard right now.

[08:51] <myownserver> Anyone here able to help me get sendmail working on my server?  I've tried everything and I imagine I'm missing something simple.
[08:51] <vduck> is that even possible? And what term would you use? I don't know what to Google :)
[08:51] <salvad2> Not the program to set them.
[08:51] <bgjsl> normally for that connection yuou need crossover cable

[09:13] <bgjsl> Dexter
[09:13] <DexterLB> bgjsl: yes?
[09:14] <bgjsl> maybe yr problem is about NAT
[09:14] <bgjsl> NAT=network adress translation
[09:14] <DexterLB> i tried connecting from inside the lan, too
[09:14] <DexterLB> I should have got a subnet error, but I get unreachable error
[09:14] <DexterLB> and my nat port is opened
[09:15] <silare> Is there a way to ban someone through Xchat if you're a Channel Operator on an IRC channel, even if they already left?
[09:15] <DexterLB> i believe that's not the problem :(
[09:15] <bgjsl> if that translation into a valid public address is not good
[09:15] <bgjsl> You will have some problem for connectiion
[09:16] <Xfact> anybody can tell me, how to install flash drive formatter in Ubuntu?

[09:17] <jussi01> zeppelin8787: oh yeah, have a look at the forums, there is some small issue.
[09:17] <bgjsl> it means NAt is not operating  correctly

[09:17] <Xfact> anybody can tell me, how to install flash drive formatter in Ubuntu hardy?
[09:17] <DexterLB> bgjsl: but I don't get a subnet error, I get error 800, e.g. either the pptp server isn't started, but it is, or port 1194 isn't opened, but it is opened
[09:17] <jussi01> you need to find the lib openal deb from an old ubuntu iirc
[09:17] <jussi01> Xfact: install gparted
ok
[09:18] <bgjsl> Dexter the problem is not about assigned ports otherwise applying the corrct ips
[09:19] <bgjsl> this is a network issue
[09:19] <DexterLB> ooooooo
[09:19] <DexterLB> bgjsl: I found the problem
[09:19] <DexterLB> I haven't started the pptpd server lol
[09:19] <Xfact> jussi01: it's a partition manager, will it also help me to format drives?

[09:25] <ian__> how would i know if someone was able to hack into my computer?
[09:25] <bgjsl> ian_
[09:25] <bgjsl> there are many ways to do that job
[09:26] <ian__> i'm just concerned that someone might have been able to see what i was typing recently, and i didn't know if there was any security software included with ubuntu or not.
[09:27] <bgjsl> just update security generally speaking thta
[09:28] <bgjsl> that job runs on ports
[09:28] <ian__> so how would someone know if i was using a unix operating system without me telling them?
[09:28] <DexterLB> great, now I've got vpn connection from the PC that the pptpd is installed on to the remote windows machine that has connected to it
[09:28] <DexterLB> and I can ping the remote machine
[09:29] <DexterLB> but how can I make the remote machine reachable from the other machines on my lan?
[09:30] <ian__> i was chatting with someone on pidgin internet messenger, and they asked if i was using a unix operating system, and i don't know how they were able to know that.
[09:31] <DexterLB> ian__: what protocol?
[09:31] <bgjsl> ian.
[09:31] <ian__> yahoo
[09:31] <bgjsl> there are many applications
[09:31] <bgjsl> in order to get that info
[09:31] <bgjsl> anyway pidgin
[09:32] <bgjsl> can say it
[09:32] <ian__> does it just tell them that or something?
[09:33] <arek> Hi
[09:33] <bgjsl> but the way of meeting reqi¿uirements
[09:33] <bgjsl> means hacking

[09:34] <ian__> what do you mean by meeting requirements?
[09:35] <arek> is anybody here from Poland?
[09:35] <bgjsl> meeting requirements means getting all the necessary info to be hacked

[10:00] <stage2> it might differ from irc network to irc network
[10:02] <BlouBlou> titancompu: K-line is network ban, it can be permanent or temporal "Kill line"

[10:10] <titancompu> I"m having a major issue with the Karmic PPC disk. It installs with no difficulties, but it doesn't create a user, so I can't login. How can I create a user after installation?
[10:10] <Callum_> mmaaaan, 50 minutes before 2010
[10:11] <paulus68> the lag is killing me here
[10:11] <evfire> Callum_, where do you live?
[10:11] <evfire> here it's 11:11 AM :D
[10:11] <iceroot> titancompu: but at installation you created a user?
[10:11] <Callum_> evfire: New Zealand (UTC+12), herre its 23:10
[10:12] <evfire> =)
[10:12] <evfire> happy new year, so :D
[10:12] <titancompu> iceroot: Mhmm! It asked for my username and password.
[10:12] <Callum_> 新しい年の五十分前です。whoo
[10:12] <iceroot> titancompu: and whit that you cant login?
[10:12] <titancompu> iceroot: Nope. Not even in the ctrl+alt+f1 terminal
[10:13] <iceroot> titancompu: special chars in the password?
[10:13] <skyllo> I can not paste files in the themes of access denied. Does anyone know how to do?
[10:13] <iceroot> titancompu: differente charset?
[10:13] <erUSUL> !cn | Callum_
[10:13] <teffiteffi> simplexio thank you
[10:13] <titancompu> iceroot: Nope, just alphabetical
[10:13] <Callum_> mmmm, erUSUL, its Japanese, #ubuntu-jp is always dead though =(
[10:14] <skyllo> I can not paste files in the themes of access denied. Does anyone know how to do?
[10:14] <erUSUL> Callum_: sorry for the confusion :/
[10:14] <evfire> skyllo, where are you trying to paste, and what exactly?
[10:14] <iceroot> titancompu: and using upper and lower chars correctly?
[10:14] <Callum_> erUSUL: thats okay, anyway, that wasn't supposed to go in here anyway lol
[10:15] <titancompu> iceroot: That's what I had figured I was doing wrong, so I just created an all lowercase unsafe password, but even that didn't work.
[10:15] <erUSUL> Callum_: cheers
[10:15] <iceroot> titancompu: i cant imaging that ubuntu is not creating the correct /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow so maybe you forgot the correct passwort or username?
[10:16] <titancompu> iceroot: Sorry, I'm positive I'm entering it right. And I know it's also not the CD because I've grabbed it from 4 different places and all MD5s have been good.
[10:16] <skyllo> evfire I'm trying to install a theme. Know how to do?
[10:17] <iceroot> titancompu: you can use a livecd then mounting your installation and have a look at /etc/passwd
[10:17] <evfire> skyllo, copying it where?
[10:17] <iceroot> titancompu: if the user is created
[10:17] <titancompu> iceroot: brb, I'll give it a shot
[10:18] <subitoo> titancompu: you can't login with your normal user but you can as root?
[10:19] <skyllo> evfire You know how to install themes in ubuntu? if you know parents tell me I'm trying to install difficulties.
[10:19] <titancompu> subito: Nope, I can't login at all with anyone on a brand new installation
[10:19] <The_Thing> Is there a newyears channel for Ubuntu?
[10:20] <evfire> skyllo, System → Preferences
[10:20] <evfire> I don't know how it's called in english, I think "Appereance"
[10:20] <evfire> *appearance
[10:21] <evfire> on "Theme" tab
[10:21] <MorphyNOR> correct :)
[10:21] <evfire> drag & drop the theme tar.gz
[10:21] <evfire> then confirm
[10:21] <titancompu> iceroot: Yup, it's official, both of those directories are empty.
[10:22] <evfire> or click "Install" and choose the theme tar.gz, it's equivalent..
[10:22] <titancompu> I have no users on a new system..but it took all the other settings.
[10:22] <iceroot> titancompu: very strange. never used the ppc version so dont know if it is a bug but i cant imaging
[10:22] <iceroot> !bug | titancompu
[10:22] <iceroot> titancompu: you should fill that
[10:23] <titancompu> iceroot: I'll definitely do so. Is there any way to use the cd to make another user or is the installation most likely hosed?
[10:24] <paulus68> BlueEagl1: are you here my friend?
[10:24] <iceroot> titancompu: i thin its faster to reinstall instead of finding out how to create correct /etc/shadow entrys
[10:24] <iceroot> titancompu: i am not a help at that :(
[10:24] <titancompu> I guess I'll give the hardy cd a shot then. :( Thanks for trying!
[10:25] <iceroot> titancompu: it was karmic ppc final you tried?
[10:25] <titancompu> iceroot: Yes
[10:25] <titancompu> and the alternate

[10:27] <Scott1979>  anyone help me with xorg-fglrx install not working to plan
[10:27] <Scott1979>  http://paste.ubuntu.com/349482/
[10:29] <iceroot> titancompu: i am very interested in the results from a new installation
[10:30] <fredBadDude> d
[10:30] <titancompu> iceroot: It seems there might be some folks having the same issue with the Jaunty disc as well.
[10:30] <iceroot> titancompu: only on ppc?
[10:30] <titancompu> iceroot: Yup yup
[10:31] <iceroot> titancompu: time to buy a pc :)
[10:31] <titancompu> iceroot: I"m on my PC now. I just wanted to revive life into this old iBook for my daughter to play games with
[10:31] <bullgard> iceroot: I sometimes use htop. I usually prefer top because I am used to use it. hehe
[10:32] <iceroot> bullgard: yes same here but sometimes htop is "nicer" especially if you want to edit nice-values and so on
[10:32] <iceroot> titancompu: yeah, np, just kidding
[10:32] <lumee> why a laptop battery have a lot of connects if it only would need only 2 for + and - ?
[10:33] <titancompu> iceroot:I'm gonna try booting into the recovery console and adding a user. Apparently some users in the forums had luck with that
[10:33] <MorphyNOR> lumee: off topic, however a computer runs on more than one voltage ;)
[10:33] <MorphyNOR> 3.3v 5v and 12v
[10:33] <guiscard> how do I find the path of a package?
[10:33] <iceroot> guiscard: you mean the binary?
[10:33] <guiscard> yes
[10:34] <iceroot> guiscard: which filename
[10:34] <guiscard> libapr1
[10:34] <_2> guiscard dpkg -L packagename
[10:34] <lumee> MorphyNOR: thanks :D
[10:35] <bullgard> 1200x1600pixels empfangen.
[10:35] <guiscard> weird it says not installed
[10:35] <titancompu> Well... that didn't work. Give root password for maintenence, and no password is right. :/
[10:35] <josh_> Hi
[10:35] <josh_> Anyone here who can help me?
[10:35] <erUSUL> !ask
[10:36] <myownserver> Can anyone here correctly configure and setup sendmail on ubnutu?
[10:37] <_2> guiscard also of note, dpkg -l | less      will list all packages installed/removed but still configured/partly installed/installed but not configured.
[10:37] <erUSUL> !mta | myownserver
[10:37] <josh_> Ok. I just installed Ubuntu, and one of the programs I need requires OpenGL which is installed by the graphics driver. But no graphics driver was installed for me, as far as I know. Is it possible to install a windows Graphics driver, or is there another way to get OpenGL to work?
[10:37] <erUSUL> josh_: which graphic card do you have ?
[10:37] <myownserver> Ok, so can you configure exim to send/recieve emails?
[10:37] <_2> guiscard and use the search function of less to simplify things  :)
[10:38] <_2> man less
[10:38] <titancompu> iceroot: Wow. This is really interesting. The regular live CD now won't even login for the live cd user.
[10:39] <myownserver> Can anyone here correctly configure and setup exim on ubnutu?
[10:39] <josh_> I don't know. I only know it's an ATI.
[10:39] <josh_> This is the Windows driver.
[10:39] <josh_> http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=321957&prodSeriesId=1839151&swItem=ob-59967-1&prodNameId=1839204&swEnvOID=1093&swLang=8&taskId=135&mode=3
[10:39] <FloodBot1> josh_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:39] <stage2> josh_: did you try restricted drivers in system
[10:39] <erUSUL> josh_: go to system>Admin...>Hardware drivers
[10:40] <josh_> Tried that, and only a modem driver shows up.
[10:40] <stage2> ubuntu can search and install a third party app
[10:40] <iceroot> titancompu: its setting up /etc/passwd also just in the ram
[10:40] <iceroot> titancompu: so maybe that is broken on the cd
[10:40] <iceroot> titancompu: you could try the netinstall-image which is getting the new packages from the repos, maybe its fixed
[10:41] <stage2> josh_: type lspci and pastebin.org it to me
[10:41] <josh_> in terminal?
[10:41] <stage2> yes sir
[10:41] <jad> Is there any setting to set the size of /var/cache/apt/archives
[10:41] <jad> ?
[10:41] <guiscard> _2 ty very much
[10:41] <stage2> ill pm you
[10:41] <_2> yw
[10:41] <erUSUL> josh_: then yu have to use the free radeon drivers. on some cards they support acclerated opengl via drm/dri/mesa
[10:41] <MorphyNOR> josh_: always, when people ask you to type in a command, its done via terminal, unless otherwise stated :)
[10:42] <jad> help
[10:42] <erUSUL> josh_: do « glxinfog | grep -i direct »
[10:42] <guiscard> i thought this package was installed because it showed on apt-cache search package
[10:42] <_2> erUSUL g ?
[10:42] <jad> ?
[10:43] <erUSUL> _2: yep sorry typo
[10:43] <erUSUL> josh_: is « glxinfo | grep -i direct »
[10:43] <josh_> ok 1 sec.
[10:43] <stalker_> so are they just making cpu's with more cores instead of making them bigger now?
[10:43] <josh_> Direct Rendering: YEs.
[10:43] <titancompu> iceroot: That was my Debian thought, but for some reason, I can't get that disc to start up.
[10:43] <erUSUL> stalker_: ...instead of making them faster
[10:44] <josh_> That's what I get :)
[10:44] <erUSUL> josh_: then you are all set
[10:44] <stalker_> erUSUL, lol, yeah
[10:44] <iceroot> titancompu: why?
[10:44] <erUSUL> josh_: opengl is accelerated and suported
[10:44] <stalker_> er
[10:44] <josh_> ...
[10:44] <erUSUL> stalker_: yes that sums it up
[10:45] <titancompu> iceroot: Not sure. It doesn't even act like a bootable disc. The md5 was good on it too.
[10:45] <iceroot> titancompu: very strange, dont have ppc here so i cant test it
[10:45] <titancompu> Must not be my day with ubuntu and PPCs. ;)
[10:45] <jad> Hello there,   Is there any setting to set the size of /var/cache/apt/archives
[10:46] <erUSUL> jad: no that i know of
[10:46] <stalker_> erUSUL, i guess they are fast enough
[10:47] <jad> thx, is there a way to autosave the contents of that folder to somewhere else, that will not be cleaned every once in a while by apt
[10:47] <erUSUL> !aptoncd | jad
[10:48] <erUSUL> jad: you can simply burn them in a dvd they are plain data files
[10:48] <stalker_> ubottu, you are one knowledgable dude
[10:48] <stalker_> ubottu, make love to me!
[10:49] <jad> thx
[10:49] <Xfact> Ubuntu 8.04 is not officially support latest versions, but If I install it additionally, will it be ok?
[10:49] <mka> jad, you can create a separate partition that you will have a mount point being /var/cache/apt/archives
[10:49] <MorphyNOR> Xfact: what do you mean?
[10:50] <mka> jad,  the size that that partition cannot be exceeded
[10:50] <jad> ok cool
[10:50] <iceroot> Xfact: its still under support
[10:50] <iceroot> !lts | Xfact
[10:51] <mka> jad, I never tried this, but you can try to "sudo chattr +i /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb so that no user can remove those files by apt-get clean
[10:51] <iceroot> mka: apt-get clean is called by root
[10:52] <mka> iceroot, I know
[10:52] <iceroot> mka: if root cant delete them, noone will be able to delete them
[10:52] <stronze> firefox sound issues - did fresh reboot to test.if i attempt to play youtube videos or anything of that nature, sound drivers fail and no sound is possible.if i play a movie before attempting a youtube type video, sound will continue to work for the system but will still recieve static type sound from youtube type videos
[10:52] <mka> iceroot, but sudo apt-get clean will not be able to remove files that are immutable
[10:53] <mka> iceroot, yes you are right
[10:53] <chu> Hey, anyone using docky?
[10:53] <mka> iceroot, I think jad does not want to delete his .deb files
[10:53] <stalker_> stronze, upgrade flash?
[10:54] <iceroot> mka: a nice to know, just tested chattr +i and i cant delete a file as root
[10:54] <stronze> stalker - tried.adobe says i have lastest version.side note update manger has adobe update greyed out and can remove or access via update manger
[10:54] <stronze> cant*
[10:54] <chu> Anyone know how to change the docky theme?
[10:54] <iceroot> mka: but it is -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2009-12-31 11:53 foobar
[10:54] <stalker_> stronze, reinstall manually maybe
[10:55] <jad> what i meant is: is there a way to keep the .debs in /var/apt/cache/archives and not for them to get cleaned every once in a while
[10:55] <wowoto> chu: install the theme you like
[10:55] <MorphyNOR> stronze: there's supposed to be a space between a . and a new word ;)
[10:55] <stronze> stalker - via package manager?
[10:55] <mka> iceroot, yes, you can list the attributes by "lsattr""
[10:55] <titancompu> Wow, not even the recovery console can add a user.This install is dead dead dead.
[10:55] <chu> wowoto, yeah I have the theme, but how do I install it?
[10:55] <stalker_> stronze,  or possibly downgrade a bit
[10:55] <chrome> Hey guys, I have a DVB-T tuner thats working great with MythTV on 9.10, but I can't get the IR to work. The driver is loaded, shows up in the devices list, isn't in use by any other process, but I don't see any activity when I cat the device etc. Anyone have any ideas?
[10:55] <stronze> morphynor - i suck a typeing
[10:56] <stronze> stalker - ill attempt reinstall
[10:56] <stalker_> stronze, just download the plugin and put it in /lib/mozilla/firefox/plugin or something
[10:56] <iceroot> mka: hm what is the differenc between ls -all foobar (rwxrwxrwx..) and listattr? or better why there are attributes different to rwxrwxrwx...
[10:56] <bcj> stronze; And spelling - "typeing" :)
[10:56] <wowoto> chu: have a look at the  INSTALL.tex or readme.tex
[10:56] <stalker_> stronze, if you do it while firefox is running it doesnt always work out as good
[10:57]  * wowoto txt
[10:57] <chu> The theme is only pictures, there's no README, hence why I came here, but anyway.
[10:57] <stronze> bjc - bite me lol
[10:57] <mka> iceroot, "ls -l" lists the file permissions (modes) that you set by chmod and "lsattr" lists the file attributes that you set by "chattr"
[10:58] <wowoto> chu: only pictures?
[10:58] <stalker_> anyone know if i can download a stripper for AMOR, im getting tired of the bsd devil
[10:58] <stronze> stalker - its gonna be awhile to download.im on iraqi connection
[10:58] <iceroot> mka: thx i will read some manpages, never heard of chattr before but its good to know
[10:58] <nero_> hi
[10:58] <dnivra> how do I know if my disc drive support DVD burning? Is there any command or some way to know in ubuntu?
[10:59] <dnivra> supports*
[10:59] <mka> iceroot, the root can override a permissions and delete any file but a root cannot override attributes
[10:59] <wowoto> chu: the theme should be file.deb or file.tar.gz //
[10:59] <stalker_> stronze, yeah, im having trouble with flash on my aspire one notebook running arch, although it works fine on my desktop on all the linux version i got going
[11:00] <chu> It's just to make docky transparent, it's 4 images all tar'd up. All of the information online seems to regard GNOME Do docky, but I'm interested in the separate version of docky. A locate docky only returned the package from /var/apt/archives
[11:00] <nero_> how do I get my wireless to work in my laptop?
[11:00] <mka> hi nero_
[11:00] <erUSUL> nero_: which wifi chip?
[11:00] <nero_> hi mka
[11:00] <stronze> stalker - i assumed it was a firefox uppdate issue
[11:00] <nero_> ateros
[11:00] <Callum_> 12:00am, January 1, 2010. Happy new year everyone. =)
[11:00] <erUSUL> nero_: System>Admin...>hardware drivers shows something about your wifi?
[11:00] <koltroll> My hfs+-partition on my external drive is read-only. How can I write to it?
[11:00] <chu> wowoto,
[11:01] <chu> http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=117701
[11:01] <stronze> 422kb takes 10 mins :/
[11:01] <nero_> no
[11:01] <wowoto> chu: i recommend you to download the "nimbus-theme-made-by-SUN".here is the download link: http://dlc.sun.com/osol/jds/downloads/extras/nimbus/
[11:01] <stalker_> stalker_,  maybe, im only have done setting up the lappy, ill figure it out
[11:01]  * MrDudle i r sleep nao
[11:01] <erUSUL> nero_: if you do « iwconfig » in terminal do you see a wlan0 interface ?
[11:01] <wowoto> chu: wait a minute ,let me see
[11:01] <mka> dnivra, how many drives do you have?
[11:01] <oskar> hi, my karmic machine does not mount nfs shares at boot time. what can I do?
[11:02] <erUSUL> koltroll: afaik there is no writte support for hfs+ in linux
[11:02] <stalker_> nero, do lspci and find what card you got
[11:02] <dnivra> just one disk drive if that's what you're asking mka.
[11:02] <nero_> lo        no wireless extensions.
[11:02] <nero_> eth0      no wireless extensions.
[11:02] <Merhoc> i compiled the chan_capi module for asterisk and configured it. if i start asterisk now,  i get WARNING[9346]: loader.c:382 load_dynamic_module: Module 'chan_capi' did not register itself during load and asterisk loads without chan_capi support. with google, i found some people who had the same problem but there was no solution. i use asterisk 1.4.21 and kernel 2.6.26-2-amd64. is there any idea how i can solve this problem?
[11:02] <koltroll> erUSUL, oh really? You sure about that? That sounds really depressive
[11:02] <_2> i have a cdrom.iso in my home that i would like konqueror to be able to browse.  is there a kio or file:// protocal that can handle that or do i have to loop mount it each time?
[11:03] <chu> Nah, as far as gtk theme goes Mist is awesome. I just wanted to make docky transparent, I found the theme (linked), but there's no documentation available for how to install it.
[11:03] <nero_> that's what it shows
[11:03] <nero_> lo        no wireless extensions.
[11:03] <nero_> eth0      no wireless extensions.
[11:03] <psycho_oreos> nero_, that isn't lspci, that's iwconfig
[11:04] <stalker_> nero_, do lspci and find you etherent card
[11:04] <psycho_oreos> nero_, and use pastebin
[11:04] <erUSUL> koltroll: iirc you have to disable journallling in OS X and do some other hackery to make it work. and even that is buggy
[11:04] <hamid> hi all
[11:05] <pvramana> HI ALL
[11:05] <Guest93530> hi all
[11:05] <mka> dnivra, I dont know of any command but what does "ls -l /dev/dvd* && ls -l /dev/cd*" give you?
[11:05] <erUSUL> nero_: do «sudo modprobe ath9k » or ath5k depending in you card to load the driver
[11:05] <pvramana> HI RAJESH
[11:05] <erUSUL> !caps
[11:06] <chu> Does anyone know how to change the docky theme?
[11:06] <wowoto> chu: seems that you have to find the donky's install file and copy into it
[11:06] <stronze> E: python-skype: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2
[11:06] <chu> Ergh, not worth the effort.
[11:06] <stronze> anyone know what that means?
[11:06] <dnivra> mka: I've a dvdrw in /dev. So that does mean it supports dvd writing right?
[11:07] <stalker_> erUSUL, ath9k hasnt been working that great for me
[11:07] <mka> dnivra,
[11:07] <mka> dnivra, yes
[11:07] <chu> Ahh, /usr/share/docky/themes
[11:07] <mka> dnivra, the formal command to try is
[11:07] <stalker_> erUSUL, i've been using ndiswrapper and it work perfect except i cant go into monitor mode with it
[11:07] <dnivra> mka: thanks.
[11:08] <pkkm> how to change splash image apperaing immediately after selection in GRUB?
[11:08] <psycho_oreos> stalker_, ndiswrapper will never allow monitor mode
[11:08] <madura> hey i cant browse the net while im downloading through some app can you pls tell me how to fix it??
[11:08] <mka> dnivra, "sudo lshw -C disk -html > diskinfo.html" and then "firefox diskinfo.html"
[11:08] <stalker_> psycho_oreos, yes, but it allows me to do VOIP without disconnects
[11:08] <dnivra> mka: cool! thanks for the command. gotta try it out now.
[11:08] <stronze> stalker - i did an adobe upgrade instead of reinstall since it gave me that option.sound wasnt repiar but im gonna reboot and test again
[11:09] <stalker_> psycho_oreos, ath9k actually works great for anything other than VOIP as far as i can tell
[11:09] <stalker_> stronze,
[11:09] <stalker_> stronze, you copied the .so to that directotry?
[11:09] <psycho_oreos> stalker_, there's been issues with ath9k here and there, some recommend backports others recommend compat-wireless
[11:09] <subhranath> test...
[11:10] <stalker_> psycho_oreos, ic, i'll have to check out those options
[11:10] <stronze> i did thru package manager to see i this will be a solution.
[11:10] <stronze> stalker BRB reboot
[11:10] <oskar> what can i do to make karmic mount nfs shares at boot time reliably?
[11:11] <stalker_> oskar, ntfs?
[11:11] <oskar> stalker_, nfs
[11:12] <stalker_> oskar, oh ic, no clue lol
[11:12] <dnivra> mka: I have blu-ray disc support too. Any idea why there's nothing related to it in /dev?
[11:12] <oskar> stalker_, no problem, thanks
[11:12] <dnivra> mka: or is it that it's there under some not-so-easily-understandable name?
[11:13] <oskar> it seems to me related to bug 470776
[11:13] <oskar> (my nfs mount problem)
[11:13] <mka> dnivra, I don't think there could be anything like /dev/bluray, LOL, /dev/dvdrw or /dev/cdrw, are enough
[11:14] <mka> dnivra, you can create a symbolink by yourself though
[11:14] <wowoto> oskar: ？
[11:15] <stalker_> anyone know any programs like AMOR with more themes?
[11:15] <mka> dnivra, however to hadle blu-ray disks, you will need to get Nero 4 Linux which is NOT free
[11:15] <dnivra> mka: that's for burning bluray right? isn't reading a bluray possible in karmic?
[11:16] <dnivra> mka:(not that it's necessary like I've got a bluray disc in hand waiting to see a movie: bluray discs are like the future here; DVD's still rule here. I'm curious that's all.)
[11:16] <stronze> stalker - okay that was a no go.can you explain how todo what your suggesting?
[11:16] <frederick85> Hi, i play classical guitar and i'm looking for some software to record like audacity but i also want to add a bit of reverb to my mic? anyone know how I can do the reverb part?
[11:17] <dnivra> mka: not like*
[11:17] <mka> dnivra, I don't have bluray drive on my machine, can anyone confirm this?
[11:17] <CDZaioria> hello?
[11:17] <nandu20> hello
[11:17] <mka> dnivra, ok, then
[11:17] <CDZaioria> man.. can you help-me?
[11:18] <mka> hi nandu20
[11:18] <mka> hi CDZaioria
[11:18] <dnivra> mka: cool. thanks. hope someone else will. oh and thanks for for "lshw", useful command didn't know.
[11:18] <nandu20> hi mka..
[11:18] <nandu20> mka:can u help me.........
[11:18] <CDZaioria> sorry.. bad english
[11:19] <mka> nandu20, just ask a question if anyone knows how to help, you will be helped
[11:19] <stalker_> what config file is the equivleant of the modules section of a /etc/rc.conf ?
[11:19] <CDZaioria> but, anyway..
[11:19] <CDZaioria> ok..
[11:19] <mka> !enter | CDZaioria
[11:19] <nandu20> i am using ubuntu9.04....in that wine is not working properly.......
[11:20] <stronze> stalker_ okay greyed out adobe update is gone after doing upgrade but did not fix sound issues.
[11:20] <CDZaioria> Well, here is the problem. First time here. I need some information to use ... this program.
[11:20] <dnivra> !wine | nandu20
[11:21] <stalker_> stronze, you said it just sounds static like?
[11:21] <mka> nandu20, what are you using wine for?
[11:21] <mka> nandu20, I am asking that question because wine works properly on some exe's and does not even work on other ones
[11:22] <nandu20> mka:for converting the files from one format to other especially media files...
[11:22] <mka> CDZaioria, you are not clear, little information, you are still quiet, don't be afraid to speak
[11:22] <oskar> What can I do to make Karmic mount nfs shares at boot time reliably (perhaps related to bug #470776)?
[11:22] <jacob_> hi hoping someone can help me.....i'm still getting used to ubuntus command window....while moving around directories i typed "then the location but forgot to close the ".....now my window is stuck
[11:22] <mka> nandu20, why do you want wine for that?
[11:23] <SickAnimations> jacob_: What do you mean by "stuck"?
[11:23] <mka> nandu20, maybe rephrase your question and state what you want to accomplish, who knows, maybe someone knows a better approach
[11:23] <nandu20> i am a begginer.....i don't the converter for tat in linux.......
[11:23] <jacob_> SickAnimations: sorry guess thats not very helpful jacob@jacob-laptop:~/.wine/drive_c$ cd "Program Files
[11:23] <jacob_> >
[11:24] <CDZaioria> ok, let's try again. I'm new in this mirc's world. And I don't know anyting.
