[19:04] <Homely_Girl> bean: Here u go...http://imagebin.org/78108
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> ariftux: just like there is no best car, or best beer
[19:04] <azrael_> so i'm thinking sumting failed during clean up
[19:04] <iceroot> azrael_: can you please stop spamming the channel with your language?

[19:05] <Joeseph> Is there an easy way to block ip address in your firewall by country?  For example, I should only expect ssh attempts from my own country (unless I choose to travel...) so It makes sense to only allow 'American' ip address.... Are ip address assigned in such a way to make this feasible?
[19:05] <hydrid> i added medibuntu rep so now to install skype i just apt-get??
[19:05] <Homely_Girl> bean: Just u don't leave 'eh!! ;)
[19:05] <ActionParsnip> azrael_: its a little immature, i try to quosh the use of 'best"

[19:08] <wApNo> hi guys, anyone here using any avermedia tv card with totem?
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> Poobuntu: spamming the OPs with racism, real smart
[19:08] <iceroot> azrael_: you have a support question? elsewehre #ubuntu-offtopic is a good place for chatting
[19:08] <SteveIgnorant> sacarlson: only returns stuff ive written in python haha
[19:08] <sacarlson> SteveIgnorant: oops  and look in /usr/shares find -name "*.py"

[19:10] <SteveIgnorant> sacarlson: okay i cd'd to "/" and ran the statement ~ im a bit of an ubuntu noob, is there a place to view a list of commands to run in the terminal? it seems like im learning more everyday even after a year
[19:10] <ActionParsnip> ariftux: gthumb can do it, or you can do multiple images using imagemagick in a bash script
[19:10] <hydrid> after adding medibuntu repositories what i do to install skype?
[19:10] <Philantrop> I'd like to look into upstart's configuration. AFAIK, native upstart configs have replaced the traditional System-V init scripts since 9.10 or so. The initscripts package (from lucid) seems to contain plain old sysv scripts only, though. Where would I find the native configuration? Or is this maybe the wrong channel to ask?
[19:10] <Homely_Girl_> bean: miss me?
[19:10] <ActionParsnip> hydrid: sudo apt-get install skype
[19:10] <azrael_> how do i run fsck from desktop?

[19:10] <bean> of course, Homely_Girl_ ha
[19:10] <Homely_Girl_> And why is it saying my nick is in use??
[19:11] <hydrid> thanks
[19:11] <guntbert> Philantrop: for lucid try #ubuntu+1
[19:11] <SteveIgnorant> sacarlson: mostly was django (not what im looking for)  and something called blender
[19:11] <smerdis> Hi all, I want to know how to make a livecd out of a minimal installation disk. I already made custom distros, but out of repositories or livecds themseleves. Is it the same process? I.E: mount the .iso, work in chroot, etc? What about the installing?
[19:11] <sacarlson> SteveIgnorant: you can do a man command to get info on a command like >man find , and you can google bash that has the list of commands
[19:11] <bean> Homely_Girl_: because your old one is ghosted, idk
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> azrael_: from liveCD run: sudo fdisk -l   to see the partitions. Then run: sudo fsck -a /dev/partition_name
[19:11] <Philantrop> guntbert: Ok, thanks.
[19:11] <iceroot> azrael_: use a terminal to use fsck on a unmount media
[19:11] <ariftux> ActionParsnip: should I remove image viewer?
[19:11] <Homely_Girl_> bean: or someone's having fun 'cos they got my password
[19:11] <iceroot> !remaster | smerdis
[19:11] <bean> Homely_Girl_: heh
[19:12] <ActionParsnip> ariftux: only if you dont use it, you can have both installed
[19:12] <smerdis> Thanks a lot.
[19:12] <bean> Homely_Girl_: do /msg nickserv ghost Homely_Girl password

[19:14] <d3mon_> sup?
[19:14] <iceroot> azrael_: read the manpage

[19:16] <iceroot> azrael_: it should repair a partition, right?
[19:17] <azrael_> file systems
[19:17] <iceroot> azrael_: what about telling fsck that partiion?
[19:17] <bean> Sick_of_Crap: now try sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-fonts
[19:17] <Sick_of_Crap> bean: would u like to come in thru a back door of sorts?? :P And no, I don't say that to all the geeks!! lol

[19:17] <bean> ActionParsnip: I swear theres a bug in 9.10 that claims you have lots of bad sectos, when you dont
[19:18] <azrael_> where is that
[19:18] <hydrid> iceroot: i think :)
[19:18] <iceroot> hydrid: less /etc/apt/sources.list  to pastebin please
[19:18] <cemc> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/350918/
[19:18] <hydrid> they are enabled yes in the software sources
[19:18] <iceroot> hydrid: ok
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> azrael_: www.ultimatebootcd.com
[19:19] <iceroot> hydrid: and yu used sudo apt-get update before?
[19:19] <d3mon_> try runing it a few times
[19:19] <ariftux> Anybody know how to make partition table on flashdisk? appear Error: Input/output error during read on /dev/sdb
[19:19] <cemc> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/350920/

[19:20] <sacarlson> ariftux: gparted
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> azrael_: you cant fix a mounted partition so you will need a USB stick or a CD

[19:21] <Ctrl_Alt_Del> Hello all, by any chance is there a way to know the name of my screen using a command line ?
[19:21] <hydrid> ok
[19:21] <ActionParsnip> cemc: get wine completely off (your wine installed apps are in ~ which will not be manipulated)
[19:21] <sacarlson> ariftux:  you must unmount it before you can partition or format it
[19:21] <guntbert> Ctrl_Alt_Del: "name of your screen"? please explain
[19:22] <ActionParsnip> ariftux: if the partition is the system partition you cannot do this in a booted system as the partition will be busy
[19:22] <ActionParsnip> ariftux: its easier to do it in a liveCD or USB system
[19:22] <d3mon_> maybe the display???
[19:22] <pat|nG> does ATI gfx card works fine on 3D desktop?
[19:22] <Magestik> he wants to know the monitor model

[19:22] <azrael_> ok i got fsck doing it thing and it said it just fixed sum errors but its not done yet
[19:22] <Ctrl_Alt_Del> guntbert: My screen is a "DELL", can a command line tell it to me ?
[19:23] <sacarlson> ActionParsnip: must it be mounted?  boot from a live cd or some other device if needed
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> Ctrl_Alt_Del: what video card do you use?
[19:23] <Magestik> nvidia
[19:23] <pat|nG> ActionParsnip: got any idea on what type of ATI that works fine on 3D desktop?
[19:23] <guntbert> Ctrl_Alt_Del: ah you want the manufacturer of your computer?
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> sacarlson: to fix a partition it needs to be unmounted so the data does not change
[19:23] <Ctrl_Alt_Del> ActionParsnip: it' s an intel video card
[19:23] <Ctrl_Alt_Del> guntbert: yes, that's right.
[19:23] <ariftux> ActionParsnip: Can you explain more detail? I'm newbie in Ubuntu...

[19:23] <azrael_> is it normal for firefox to crash when fsck is running?
[19:24] <azrael_> cus it did and it won't load back up
[19:24] <sacarlson> ActionParsnip: the data will be totaly lost if you repartition or format the disk
[19:24] <ActionParsnip> Ctrl_Alt_Del: if you jump into display settings, it may say
[19:24] <Ricket> how do you print the exit code of something?
[19:24] <sharperguy> Is it possible to get libgtk1.2 in Karmic?

[19:27] <alberto> I'm using gl nut it's very slow in full screen mode
[19:27] <d3mon_> iptables -P INPUT DROP         <---------------- does this work?

So far from google recommendations I've installed the latest linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic.

[19:40] <sacarlson> ariftux:  gparted worked for me with my USB flash, I've had some problems with usb drive lately with the counter fiting.  fake disks that say they are 2gig but are only 500meg
[19:40] <mezquitale> MrWizeGuy1983, you dont recover grub2, there is no need, you just simply reinstall grub2 and grub2 should be able to figure out where your operating systems are at although grub2 might require a little tweaking sometimes
[19:41] <MrWizeGuy1983> mezquitale, i'm not too familiar with grub2, i did an apt-get install grub within the livecd will that do it?
[19:41] <airstrike> i can't install python-ogre even after adding the PPA and sudo apt-get update. the ppa link is https://launchpad.net/~mithro/+archive/ppa -- what is the problem? :/
[19:41] <ariftux> sacarlson: So, how to make gparted read my usb drive?
[19:41] <mezquitale> MrWizeGuy1983, I have never reinstalled grub2, I suggest you either try the forums, try again in the channel at another time, or try #grub channel
[19:42] <MrWizeGuy1983> thanks for the try mezquitale
[19:42] <crankharder> hey all, what's a good way to enable file sharing from ubuntu to OSX?
[19:42] <SteveIgnorant> why use ubuntu over arch linux
[19:42] <azrael_> ok sum of my apps are not loading write they were before but not they load all grayed out
[19:42] <ActionParsnip> airstrike: ok whats the output of: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get --reinstall install python-ogre
[19:42] <MrWizeGuy1983> mezquitale, one other thing, i tried apt-get install grub2 and it said it was referred to by grub-pc
[19:42] <azrael_> wat could causer this
[19:42] <guntbert> !ot | SteveIgnorant
[19:42] <ActionParsnip> !ot | SteveIgnorant
[19:42] <sacarlson> ariftux: after it's pluged in it should automount you should umount it and then run gparted. but I think you tried that or it never automounts
[19:42] <coz_> azrael_,   bad video driver??
[19:43] <ActionParsnip> airstrike: use http://pastebin.com
[19:43] <azrael_> nope
[19:43] <ariftux> sacarlson: The last time I use it for Usb StartUp Disk..
[19:43] <pm> lspci shows my wireless card, ifconfig doesn't. does that mean there's no driver installed?
[19:43] <azrael_> it like terminal and ubuntu update manager
[19:43] <arghh2d2> SteveIgnorant: please dont rally another batch of ubuntu refugees to #archlinux
[19:43] <azrael_> they load all grayed out
[19:43] <hzroot> sa
[19:44] <SteveIgnorant> arghh2d2: ive never used archlinux, but it looks cool. i was just curious haha
[19:44] <sacarlson> ariftux: well don't boot from it or you can't use gparted.  does it or doesn't it automount?
[19:44] <troy43> Hi!, can someone answer a question about PPA ..
[19:44] <ActionParsnip> !ask | troy43:
[19:44] <guntbert> SteveIgnorant: please keep to the topic
[19:44] <shooree> hi guys. Just installed karmic and am following some tutorials on how to make it work nicely. I messed up a bit though, and now I get "sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0777, should be 0440" every time I use sudo. thoughts?
[19:44] <billiard_junkee> troy43, are you trying to get sound working with wine games, by chance?
[19:44] <ariftux> sacarlson: It never automounts..
[19:44] <mezquitale> MrHeavy, Recover Grub 2 via LiveCD: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2
[19:44] <Duzchip> Hi, got a problem with SiS. When i use the sis driver in xorg my desktop becomes all blue-shimmering and wierd. when i use vesa its alright (but cant use vesa cause of the very low resolution)
[19:44] <arghh2d2> SteveIgnorant: it's not easy arch linux installs a command line system that you have to build from scratch...stick with ubuntu.
[19:45] <mezquitale> MrWizeGuy1983, , Recover Grub 2 via LiveCD: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2
[19:45] <azrael_> and my shut down and restart bars are doing the same thing
[19:45] <Duzchip> Anyone know if there is some fix or way to correct this?
[19:45] <troy43> I have a jaunty package published in my PPA.. can I extend it to be a karmic package also? from the webpage?
[19:45] <sacarlson>  ariftux: did you look at the /var/log/system file and find out why?
[19:45] <ActionParsnip> shooree: looks like you have foolishly chmodded the sudoers file 777 which is MASSIVELY unsecure
[19:45] <airstrike> ActionParsnip: http://dpaste.com/140667/
[19:45] <billiard_junkee> shooree, "chmod 440 /etc/sudoers" maybe?
[19:45] <shooree> righty
[19:45] <troy43> billiard: No.. sorry..
[19:45] <guntbert> shooree: boot to recovery system, go to root console, there you type chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers
[19:46] <shooree> righty, thanks
[19:46] <billiard_junkee> I dont know a thing about it then troy43 , sorry
[19:46] <prime_heretic> shooree: what are the permissions like on other files in /etc?
[19:46] <ActionParsnip> airstrike: and can you give a pastebin of /etc/apt/sources.list
[19:46] <shooree> is there a quick way to see that, prime_heretic?
[19:47] <ActionParsnip> shooree: leave that file aone and you will get fewer issues
[19:47] <troy43> billiard: Ok, thanks,, so it's not anybody here with a PPA..
[19:47] <scunizi> shooree: ls -lar /etc
[19:47] <ariftux> sacarlson: I/O error, dev sdb, sector 0
[19:47] <shooree> I know what I did. I used a root console to enter into /etc/ and paste over my old /etc/ folder
[19:47] <ActionParsnip> troy43: you wil need to compile it under karmic
[19:47] <Duzchip> Anyone know anything about sis-bugs in 9.10?
[19:47] <airstrike> ActionParsnip: http://dpaste.com/140670/ > relevant info at the very bottom
[19:47] <shooree> I read that's how I get my app settings to stay intact
[19:48] <scunizi> !sis > Duzchip
[19:48] <prime_heretic> shooree: ls -l /etc like scunizi says
[19:48] <guntbert> shooree: and don't believe everything you read
[19:48] <sacarlson> ariftux: well I think I would try reformat it,  maybe with that dd command to start
[19:48] <Duzchip> scunizi: ?
[19:48] <troy43> ActionPartship: Ok, so I have to do it in the commandline.. like the same commands I did for uploading the jaunty package..
[19:48] <shooree> prime_heretic, it's 99% root root
[19:48] <emma> unquery
[19:48] <scunizi> Duzchip: sorry.. was trying to see if ubottu had any info on sis
[19:48] <gigglefight> does anyone have information on dronbl? what is it?
[19:48] <Duzchip> scunizi: aha, thanks :)
[19:48] <prime_heretic> shooree: what about the drwx things at the start?
[19:49] <shooree> again, how do I check that? :) prime_heretic
[19:49] <shooree> oh
[19:49] <shooree> sry
[19:49] <shooree> I know what u meant
[19:49] <ariftux> sacarlson: How to use dd command? I'm newbie..
[19:49] <prime_heretic> shooree: ls -l /etc paste the results into http://dpaste.com/
[19:49] <ActionParsnip> airstrike: can you run: sudo apt-get install pastebinit; lsb_release | pastebinit
[19:49] <gigglefight> I've resolved my issue with dronebl; but I don't know how I can prevent it from happening again; or how did it come about.
[19:49] <ActionParsnip> airstrike: pastebinit is a cli app to pastebin stuff
[19:50] <shafh> Hi. Please, can any help me. I have just installed Amarok on ubuntu 9.10 but can't play mp3. What do i have to do?
[19:50] <ActionParsnip> airstrike: can you give the outputted url
[19:50] <sacarlson> ariftux: maybe it needs low level format that you need to get from kingstone but let me look for dd
[19:50] <shafh> I need a codec i think
[19:50] <iSpoof> im new 2 ubuntu, using blubuntu theme, but progress bars are hard to see because of a gradient from white to blue with white numbers. where can i customize the appearance of progress bars?
[19:50] <ActionParsnip> shafh: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[19:50] <airstrike> ActionParsnip: No LSB modules are available. You are trying to send an empty document, exiting.
[19:50] <shooree> prime_heretic, http://dpaste.com/140673/ thank you very much, man
[19:50] <troy43> ActionParsnip: Ok, but what if I want to do a dapper package, I don't have a dapper installation to compile it, instead I thought the ppa buildroots will do it for me..
[19:50] <ActionParsnip> shafh: you may need to change the audio in amarok to use gstreamer
[19:51] <gigglefight> usings 9.10 through Virtualbox on Windows7 now. scanned my computer for any viruses using Kaspersky and Clamtk.
[19:51] <ActionParsnip> airstrike: funky, ok what is the output of: msb_ release -c
[19:51] <Duzchip> the sis-driver in 8.04 worked perfectly but not the one in 9.10
[19:51] <Duzchip> strange
[19:51] <ActionParsnip> troy43: dapper is dead
[19:51] <ActionParsnip> !dapper
[19:51] <Duzchip> !SiS
[19:51] <sacarlson> ariftux: seems like if gparted won't see it that it must need low level formating
[19:51] <ActionParsnip> troy43: unless its a server based app
[19:51] <pm> Hey everybody, I just installed the most recent ubuntu server on an old thinkpad. I need to use a ralink rt2500 PCMCIA wireless card. I do not know how to get it to work. lspci shows the card. I have the server-thinkpad right here with me so I can try some things you suggest. many thanks
[19:51] <ActionParsnip> troy43: dapper on a desktop isnt supported
[19:51] <shafh> Hey any know a mp3 codec for amarok on ubuntu 9.10?
[19:52] <airstrike> ActionParsnip: msb: command not found
[19:52] <prime_heretic> shooree: dude lots of files screwed there, passwd too
[19:52] <Duzchip> !xserver-xorg-video-sis
[19:52] <ariftux> sacarlson: How to do that?
[19:52] <ActionParsnip> airstrike: lsb_release -c   sorry
[19:52] <shooree> prime_heretic, I messed it all up then
[19:52] <airstrike> ActionParsnip: Codename: karmic
[19:52] <troy43> ActionParship: I have a friend that uses dapper, he doesnt update, I would like he can install my ppa app..
[19:52] <ariftux> sacarlson: I don't understand low level formatting..
[19:52] <ActionParsnip> airstrike: cool, ok then i cant see a sinlge thing wrong
[19:53] <prime_heretic> shooree: /etc/group too
[19:53] <shooree> prime_heretic, all I wanted was to restore a year of happy system usage
[19:53] <airstrike> ActionParsnip: is there a chance that the package isn't named right in the PPA?
[19:53] <shooree> what are my options?
[19:53] <marco> hi. in my ubuntu 9.10, how can i see where is my audio device? (/dev/blabla). i tried "lspci" but nothing. thanks
[19:53] <prime_heretic> shooree: guess you can fix it, it just looks like files with datestamp '2009-12-06'
[19:53] <mezquitale> pm, some old thinkpads have an issue, they take forever to boot up with the wireless card, I suggest you use the forums for this one
[19:53] <sacarlson> ariftux: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=10
[19:53] <ActionParsnip> troy43: then you will need to instll dapper yourself and compile the app. You may have issues as the newer libs needed by the newer code may also need compiling so it gets a bit messy
[19:54] <gigglefight> here's another inquiry: with virtualbox, how can you make the window larger. it seems very small to me.
[19:54] <shooree> prime_heretic, I literally merged/have overwritten the newly installed /etc/ with my old one
[19:54] <troy43> ActionParsnip: I think I'll have to struggle with commandline and package compile again, it's a shame the ppa buildroots dont do this automatically..
[19:54] <sacarlson> ariftux: make sure you change the device to your device name
[19:54] <pm> mezquitale, thanks for your answer. I
[19:54] <mezquitale> marco, try lspci -v
[19:54] <prime_heretic> shooree: oh, it's not just a permissions issue then, they're the wrong files?
[19:54] <ActionParsnip> airstrike: can you ping the ppa?
[19:54] <guntbert> gigglefight: you need to install guest additions - further vbox support in #vbox
[19:54] <shafh> Hey any know a mp3 codec for amarok on ubuntu 9.10?
[19:55] <shooree> prime_heretic, well I have installed all the packages I had on the previous system
[19:55] <gigglefight> thank you guntbert!
[19:55] <ActionParsnip> airstrike: i suggest you also add it in software sources just to test
[19:55] <ActionParsnip> shafh: i'd ask in #kubuntu as its a kde app
[19:55] <shooree> prime_heretic, I used a package list I made
[19:55] <shafh> thanks
[19:55] <ActionParsnip> shafh: you may need to jump in the options to change the output from whatever kde uses to gstreamer
[19:55] <mezquitale> marcell_, try sudo aplay -l
[19:55] <shooree> but I might have messed something up near the end, prime_heretic
[19:56] <ActionParsnip> airstrike: i worked it out
[19:56] <pm> Hey, does ubuntu karmic server have pcmcia support built in? I can see a pcmcia card via lspci. does that mean pcmcia support works?
[19:56] <shafh> hmm okay i try that
[19:56] <prime_heretic> shooree: ls -l | grep '2009-12-06'
[19:56] <sacarlson> ariftux: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=512 count=10  I think is the device name you need
[19:56] <ActionParsnip> airstrike: look at the compile status (right hand) on https://launchpad.net/~mithro/+archive/ppa
[19:56] <prime_heretic> shooree: those are your broken files
[19:56] <XiXaQ> pm, #ubuntu-server is a good place for that question.
[19:56] <ActionParsnip> airstrike: latest compile was 11 weeks ago and failed
[19:56] <airstrike> there's no rollback to a previous compile?
[19:57] <XiXaQ> pm, I don't see why it wouldn't though.
[19:57] <sacarlson> ariftux: that will wipe the partition table then it should be able to go to gparted and fix it
[19:57] <shooree> prime_heretic, did what you said. should I just reinstall if it will save me hours to fix this?
[19:57] <ariftux> sacarlson: 10+0 records in 10+0 records out 5120 bytes (5.1 kB) copied, 0.0131254 s, 390 kB/s
[19:57] <pm> XiXaQ, noone seems to answer there, but I#ll try again. thanks for your answer anyway.
[19:57] <ActionParsnip> airstrike: you'll need a different ppa
[19:57] <ActionParsnip> airstrike: you'll know to check that now ;)
[19:57] <airstrike> ActionParsnip: ugh.. yeah, thanks
[19:57] <sacarlson> ariftux: I hope you did the right disk
[19:58] <prime_heretic> shooree: it's up to you dude, personally I would, it's kinda difficult to tell what#s broken and what's not
[19:58] <pm> How can I check if my wireless card has a driver associated, and how can I associate a driver with a wireless card?
[19:58] <marco> hi mezquitale, no, only description about the device (Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB.....)
[19:58] <ActionParsnip> pm: sudo lshw -C network
[19:58] <sacarlson> ariftux: now try gparted again and make sure you are in root mode when you run gparted
[19:58] <prime_heretic> shooree: write it off as part of the learning curve and reinstall
[19:58] <laeg> i tunnel traffic from a remote box through pidgin/firefox => putty dynamic port 5555-><IP_ADDRESS> to my ubuntu home box running openssh and it works great - when i try to use a facebook app which works server side it asks me to open port 9393?
[19:58] <ActionParsnip> sacarlson: advise: gksudo gparted   then ;)
[19:58] <shooree> prime_heretic, right then. thanks for your help. Do you have any ideas on how best to try and utilize my saved /etc/ folder, without screwing things up next time?
[19:59] <prime_heretic> shooree: why do you want to retain your /etc folder?
[19:59] <mezquitale> marco, why do you want to know this information though?  in 9.10 everytying is straight forward, what you need to know is the index in aplay -l, the sound card with 0 is the default, if you want to change the default card use "sound" applet in "preferences"
[19:59] <shooree> prime_heretic, because I thought that's where the app settings are and I want all my old apps back
[20:00] <shooree> prime_heretic, and not have to spend 4 hours tuning them all
[20:00] <prime_heretic> shooree: well app configs are usually in your home directory, daemon configs generally go in /etc
[20:00] <ActionParsnip> shooree: just archive them
[20:00] <Homely_Girl> ActionParsnip: you'll be pleased 2 know I'm engaged in a little "backdoor action" with bean!! He's got my hdd going like the clappers!!
[20:00] <sacarlson> ariftux: ya gksudo gparted like ActionParsnp says
[20:00] <shooree> the old install is gone, plowed over
[20:00] <ActionParsnip> Homely_Girl: nice, nothing wrong with backdoor action
[20:01] <DrManhattan> aw yeah.
[20:01] <pm> ActionParsnip, thanks for the hint. lshw tells me I've got a wireless card with driver=rt2500pci . Sounds good! It also says *-network DISABLED though. What does that mean?
[20:01] <DrManhattan> a lil mud on the helmet.
[20:01] <shooree> I will just use the package install to get all the apps and stuff back, I guess, and manually tune them.
[20:01] <marco> mezquerade, because i try to use fnfxd (for toshiba laptop) to use the "fn" shortcut. but fnfxd failed because for audio it search a "/dev/mixer" that my system doesn't have.
[20:01] <prime_heretic> shooree: like /home/shooree/.mozilla/firefox will be your firefox config
[20:01] <shooree> yea I saved that separately, prime_heretic
[20:01] <shooree> :) that one's good
[20:01] <ariftux> sacarlson: Not working...still can't read my usb.
[20:01] <JohnyK> can someone help me to install
[20:01] <JohnyK> an eggdrop
[20:01] <shooree> anyway, thanks
[20:01]  * Homely_Girl thinks bean is an absolute gent with his gentle backdoor entry!! :D
[20:02] <scunizi> shooree: always easier to have a seperate /home partition for fresh installs.. install normally naming the old /home as the new /home without formatting
[20:02] <ActionParsnip> pm: make sure its the right one, you may need to blacklist rt2500usb
[20:02] <prime_heretic> shooree: if you want to retain some /etc files back them up and restore them one by one, you can;t just blanket copy them across
[20:02] <ActionParsnip> pm: try: sudo iwlist scan    to see if it detects APs
[20:02] <sacarlson> ariftux: you mean you can't partition it,  well it might be time to go to kingstone and get there utility to low level format it
[20:02] <shooree> prime_heretic, scunizi I'll keep that in mind. thanks
[20:03] <as3w5> Does any of you know LaRoza from the ubuntuforums?
[20:03] <laeg> i tunnel traffic from a remote box through pidgin/firefox => putty dynamic port 5555-><IP_ADDRESS> to my ubuntu home box running openssh and it works great - when i try to use a facebook app which works server side it asks me to open port 9393?
[20:03] <pm> ActionParsnip, iwlist scan says Interface doesn't support scanning: Network is down. How do I blacklist a driver again?
[20:03] <ActionParsnip> !blacklist | pm
[20:04] <mezquitale> marco,  try #alsa
[20:04] <sacarlson> ariftux: I'm not familiure with kingstone I played with alcore they have tools that low level format that I'm sure kingstone must have the same
[20:04] <ariftux> sacarlson: Ok, I'll go now...btw thanks 4 all
[20:04] <marco> mezquerade, thanks a lot :)
[20:05] <sacarlson> ariftux: sorry and good luck
[20:07] <hydrid> my firefox still does a lot of time to load a page.(enabled ipv6)
[20:09]  * centHOGG thinks ff v35 bad
[20:12] <peturRrR> Is Ubuntu x64 without issues? (flash etc.) ?
[20:14] <ActionParsnip> peturRrR: works flawlessly here
[20:14] <sacarlson> peturRrR: I've had issues.  most recent was I can't get naptd to work on Ubuntu 8.04 x64 it works on 8.04, 9.1 in 32 bit
[20:15] <torasuku> How do I remove all shadows from Compiz (Ubuntu 9.10)?
[20:15] <milhous> hi everyone, just got a netbook and don't have a cdrom or flash drive big enough for UNR. has anyone had luck with doing a kickstart so that the iso can load over web url? just trying to think of options.
[20:16] <sacarlson> milhous: I played a bit with booting with pxe network boot.  I never tried to install but I guess you could
[20:16] <jiohdi> milhous, if it has xp or vista you can use wubi
[20:18] <jiohdi> milhous: the main flaw I have found in wubi is that after an update it sometimes refuses to start saying something like kernel panic or some such
[20:19] <mikeymop> What's the easiest way for a clueless person such as myself to add a new hard drive and use encryption?
[20:19] <milhous> interesting.
[20:19] <milhous> not sure what that is, but i'll look that up right now
[20:20] <ActionParsnip> mikeymop: install the drive and get it detected in BIOS, you can then run: gksudo gparted    and you can configure the partition as you wish
[20:20] <jiohdi> ActionParsnip: what is the difference between gksudo sudo and sudo -s?
[20:21] <tritium> jiohdi: gksudo is for gui applications, sudo is for command line applications, and sudo -s (sudo -i as well) are for root shells.
[20:21] <prime_heretic> Does anyone know if Ubuntu's keyserver is ok with RSA keys or does it have to be DSA?
[20:22] <mikeymop> ActionParsnipP: gparted isn't making the encryption thing easy.  Is there a manual that I should be reading?
[20:22] <laeg> i tunnel traffic from a remote box through pidgin/firefox => putty dynamic port 5555-><IP_ADDRESS> to my ubuntu home box running openssh and it works great - when i try to use a facebook app which works server side it asks me to open port 9393?
[20:22] <ActionParsnip> jiohdi: gksudo is the correct way to launch x based apps with elevated access, sudo is ONLY for command line apps, sudo -s  gives a root-like terminal with elevated priveledges using the user whom launched the sudo's profile
[20:22] <ActionParsnip> mikeymop: thats all I know, gparted can set it up
[20:22] <jiohdi> ActionParsnip: thanks
[20:23] <PatrickD`> mikeymop, what kind of encryption?
[20:23] <tritium> jiohdi: and you'll want to use sudo -i in favor of sudo -s.  See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[20:24] <ActionParsnip> jiohdi: if you run graphical apps (like gedit) with sudo then you can garbage ownerships of files
[20:24] <sacarlson>  mikeymop:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FullDiskEncryptionHowto
[20:24] <PatrickD`> mikeymop, you may have to install cryptsetup first
[20:24] <mikeymop> I'm not too particular about the type of encryption and don't require anything strong.
[20:25] <mikeymop> cryptsetup is now installed
[20:25] <shazbotmcnasty> I know there's a command to to tell ubottu to tell me how to remove gnome, but I can't remember it :<
[20:26] <shazbotmcnasty> debfoster?
[20:26] <shazbotmcnasty> nvm I got it
[20:26] <sacarlson> mikeymop:  I just encrypt one file at a time from within gedit
[20:26] <PatrickD`> sacarlson, that is kind of useless
[20:26] <PatrickD`> expecially if you use it to compress files that are >1gig
[20:26] <mikeymop> Yeah, I want to use the filesystem in a normal manner.
[20:26] <stephanie_> Ok, having DVD play issues in totem. Already installed ubuntu-restricted-extras, still no play. ANy suggestions?
[20:27] <stephanie_> VLC isn't playing either.
[20:27] <milhous> oh ok, so wubi installs ubuntu while keeping windows.
[20:28] <mka> stephanie_, is libdvdcss2 and libdvdread4 installed?
[20:28] <ActionParsnip> stephanie_: you need libdvdcss2 from medibuntu repos
[20:28] <Tayl> Good evening all.
[20:28] <stephanie_> HOw do I access medibuntu repos?
[20:28] <ActionParsnip> !medibuntu
[20:28] <PatrickDK> visit the medibuntu webpage :)
[20:28] <Owned9> whowhoo
[20:28] <mka> stephanie_, try sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 libdvdread4 libdvdnav4 w32codecs after enabling medibuntu repositories
[20:29] <stephanie_> mka, how do I add the repos?
[20:29] <mka> stephanie_, follow instructions in http://www.medibuntu.org
[20:29] <ActionParsnip> stephanie_: its in the link ubottu gave
[20:29] <mikeymop> PatrickD`
[20:29] <stephanie_> Works.
[20:29] <VirusCollector> Would anybody be willing to help me get TiLP working?
[20:30] <ActionParsnip> stephanie_: thats why i made her give the factoid
[20:30] <mka> stephanie_, they are simple and straightforward
[20:30] <mikeymop> ;Looks like you pointed me in the right direction.  Thanks.
[20:30]  * stephanie_ grins...
[20:30] <stephanie_> Got it.
[20:30] <PatrickDK> ya, I run encryption on my desktop and laptop, and have it decrypt my home parition when I login
[20:30] <PatrickDK> now your options is to use luks or not to :)
[20:31] <PatrickDK> luks lets you use multible passwords
[20:31] <PatrickDK> but also takes a crapload of time to check if your not using the first password in the list
[20:31] <VirusCollector> Wondering why I chose 64-bit... makes everything harder...
[20:31] <pm> ActionParsnip, tried blacklisting, should lsmod no longer show the blacklisted module?
[20:31] <ActionParsnip> VirusCollector: depends on your needs
[20:31] <PatrickDK> heh, 32bit is so 90's
[20:31] <eltume> Help. I'm on U-Lite (Ubuntu Lite) Linux and I am trying to verify an iso in the desktop folder with an md5sum but the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM are not working. ??
[20:31] <centHOGG> VirusCollector: always DOS
[20:32] <ActionParsnip> pm: only ifit originally was loaded, lsmod shows the installed modules
[20:32] <VirusCollector> ActionParsnip: yeah, I know, but compiling things sucks.
[20:32] <shazbotmcnasty> debfoster is great and all, but I don't know which ones I want to remove.
[20:33] <VirusCollector> ActionParsnip: TiLP is giving me an undefined symbol error when I run it...
[20:33] <ActionParsnip> VirusCollector: its identical in 32bit and 64bit
[20:33] <oCean_> eltume: define not working
[20:33] <ActionParsnip> VirusCollector: then the coders need to love the 64bit more afaics
[20:33] <VirusCollector> ActionParsnip: Ah well, maybe I don't really know what I'm talking about.
[20:33] <PatrickDK> VirusCollector, was it maybe compiled for 32bit and you don't have 32bit libs installed?
[20:33] <CQ> hi guys... I have a few internal SATA slots left, and just bought a SATA to ESATA adapter and want to put an external drive into the system... is that drive hot swappable, or what do I have to do? I want to be able to unplug it as it's a backup drive...
[20:33] <ActionParsnip> VirusCollector: its usually transparent with compiles
[20:33] <eltume> oCean, define what?
[20:33] <VirusCollector> PatrickDK: Nope, I installed it from repositories.
[20:34] <oCean_> eltume: what do you mean by "not working"
[20:34] <trevor> where the screensavers directory located?
[20:34] <VirusCollector> ActionParsnip: When I try to compile Tilp myself, it gives me a strange libusb error.
[20:34] <centHOGG> CQ: check your bios settings before hot-swapping sata
[20:34] <CQ> centHOGG: I looked through the BISO... wnat settings in particular?
[20:35] <CQ> centHOGG: is there a way to check from linux if it's enabled?
[20:35] <huggesanp> It seems that old data like gnome is reappearing in a fresh new installation. It made it go kind of nuts, I think (not my computer). How should I solve this?
[20:35] <VirusCollector> I should mention I'm not really experienced in Linux stuff.
[20:35] <ActionParsnip> VirusCollector: looks like you need the -dev package for what its chasing
[20:35] <CQ> I see http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/admin/hotswap but that's only for IDE drives...
[20:35] <VirusCollector> Then again if I was I wouldn't be here.
[20:35] <Lungan> Is there anyway to automount any device that goes into the computer in fluxbox? Pretty anyoing that i have to go to the terminal en mount every device like ipod, pen drives and so on?
[20:35] <pm> ActionParsnip: thanks, any way to remove installed modules then?
[20:36] <VirusCollector> ActionParsnip: I did install libusb-dev. Still error.
[20:36] <smackdaddy> hi i setup ubuntu server running virtual machine manager in xfce and the virtual machine is runing an instance of JeOS but it is so slow, using 98% CPU why is it doing this?
[20:37] <felix_> f
[20:37] <felix_> hello
[20:37] <ActionParsnip> pm: if its loaded you can run: sudo rmmod module_name
[20:38] <VirusCollector> ActionParsnip: I mean, installing from repositories should just work, right? But running "sudo tilp" gives me "undefined symbol: usb_debug"
[20:38] <ActionParsnip> VirusCollector: then websearch the bit of output casuing issues and see if help turns up
[20:38] <Lungan> Is there anyway to automount any device that goes into the computer in fluxbox? Pretty anyoing that i have to go to the terminal en mount every device like ipod, pen drives and so on?
[20:38] <VirusCollector> ActionParsnip: I have. All it gives me is an outdated IRC log that doesn't help.
[20:38] <VirusCollector> ActionParsnip: I've also checked the forums. Nothing.
[20:38] <sacarlson> smackdaddy:  I don't know what's in jeOS but if it has something like the linux >top you can look and see what is running that uses the cpu cycles
[20:39] <kane77> hi, recently I chaged to public IP, and now I had few people trying to remotely control my computer, how can I monitor if my computer is safe?
[20:39] <Tayl> Can anyone recommend a good MSN and Googletalk IM client? Preferably separate.
[20:39] <smackdaddy> ok, jeos is virtual ubuntu 8.04lts
[20:39] <VCoolio> Lungan: try thunar with thunar-volman extension
[20:40] <vlt> kane77: There's no such thing as a safe computer. But aside from that, look at `netstat -tuplen` to see what ports your machine is listening on.
[20:40] <ActionParsnip> VirusCollector: OK, it appears that when libusb upgraded to version 1.0, they completely broke the API. That is why the compatibility libraries are required.
[20:40] <sacarlson>  kane77: if it runs ssh and you want to have access from outside I suggest you put it on a none normal port number,  I also make my samba only access from within my local network
[20:40] <matelko> Hi people. I was here today to solve booting Linux from windows boot.ini.  Now I solved that. If anybody interested in I am here to explain.
[20:41] <jason__> hey guys - got a problem. Talking to somebody who installed the broadcom STA driver and now they cannot boot. Kubuntu just doesnt bring up the login screen. How can they remove the STA Broadcom driver in recovery console?
[20:41] <ActionParsnip> VirusCollector: is their not a PPA for what you are installing
[20:41] <centHOGG> b
[20:41] <VirusCollector> ActionParsnip: A PPA?
[20:41] <centHOGG> CQ: idk of any way to check
[20:41] <huggesanp> Will "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdaX" wipe erase data on partition sdaX? Will it erase anything beyond sdaX?
[20:41] <ActionParsnip> VirusCollector: a server like the one you install apps from but not maintained by canonical
[20:42] <kane77> sacarlson, do you have a minute to help me with it?
[20:42] <VirusCollector> ActionParsnip: Like the TiLP source site?
[20:42] <noise_> hi ,i am starting learning c++,but i dont understand what kind of editor should i use
[20:42] <ActionParsnip> VirusCollector: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas
[20:42] <vlt> huggesanp: It will only erase /dev/sdaX
[20:43] <VirusCollector> ActionParsnip: I'll check this.
[20:43] <CQ> huggesanp: use /dev/random, not /dev/zero, but yes, it should just erase /dev/sdaX  To check, do a dd if=/dev/sdaX of=/tmp/partitionfile.dd and see if the filesize is the same as of the partition ...
[20:43] <sacarlson> kane77:  what you need?
[20:43] <Fitz11> Can someone help me
[20:43] <vlt> huggesanp: But if you have changed your partition layout recently you should check what the kernel thinks your partitions end ;-)=
[20:43] <guntbert> !ide | noise_
[20:44] <oCean_> Fitz11: just ask the channel and see
[20:44] <noise_> ok thanks,
[20:44] <noise_> how is emacs ?
[20:44] <Pirate-King> hello
[20:44] <jason__> anybody? How do I remove broadcom STA drivers from recovery console? It bricked my system.
[20:45] <Fitz11> ok does anyone know how to work ubuntu
[20:45] <VCoolio> noise_: oh no, don't ask that, it will bring up an emacs-vim war; but the answer: it has a steep learning curve
[20:45] <vlt> huggesanp: I'd advocate against /dev/random (too slow) and running the dd command doens't make much sense, there's an easier way to check the length of the partition (according to the kernel)
[20:45] <oCean_> Fitz11: don't forget to share the details of your issue...
[20:45] <arquebus> noise- emacs is easy to learn because you can use it graphically (with a mouse) before you start learning all the keyboard commands
[20:46] <eugene_bondarenk> hi, every time I restart comp, I have to enter password to mount one of my HDDs. how can disable authentification for mounting?

[20:47] <guntbert> Fitz11: read the text from ubottu please
[20:47] <eddym> hey i loaded a new prg cant find it under apps
[20:47] <vlt> huggesanp: You can force a re-read with `sfdisk -R /dev/sda`. If there are no errors it should be fine. `blockdev --getsize64 /dev/sdaX` should give you the amoutn of bytes the kernel is going to overwrite with your zeros.
[20:48] <guntbert> eddym: what prog? how did you install it?
[20:48] <VirusCollector> ActionParsnip: Well, that didn't work. Should I try to solve the repository-installed issue or the compiling issue?
[20:48] <Fitz11> thanks is this going to help me
[20:48] <ActionParsnip> VirusCollector: your call
[20:48] <VirusCollector> ActionParsnip: I'd rather work on the repository, it would probably be easier.
[20:48] <eddym> guntbert, under apps install sw
[20:49] <VirusCollector> ActionParsnip: So the error it gives me when I run it is "tilp: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libticables2.so.2: undefined symbol: usb_debug"

[20:49] <eugene_bondarenk> hi, every time I restart comp, I have to enter password to mount one of my HDDs. how can disable authentification for mounting?
[20:49] <guntbert> eddym: those are usually in a menu then - what was it?
[20:49] <ActionParsnip> VirusCollector: if you can find one you can add it then install the package as you have done the rest of the other apps you have installed previously

[20:58] <losha> Purpley: which os version?
[20:58] <Corruption> because vmware requires a vmwx and not the iso
[20:58] <raven_> mka sry it was my fault i did not understand
[20:58] <blakkheim> Corruption: install virtualbox. get an ubuntu iso. put the two together.
[20:58] <losha> Corruption: my vmware lets you configure the cdrom to read from an iso. That's how I boot into ubuntu installer....
[20:58] <Corruption> blakkheim: cheers, just vmware doesnt have that feature lol
[20:58] <CQ> Corruption: go to #vbox ... it's really easy... install virtualbox, download a ubuntu ISO image, tell vbix that it's a CD, and you're ready to install.
[20:59] <Purpley> For windows or linux?
[20:59] <guntbert> Corruption: we usually don't do pm support here
[20:59] <oCean_> Corruption: vmware can mount/use/boot from iso's too
[20:59] <Corruption> Currently running vista
[20:59] <VirusCollector> tilp2-dev doesn't exist. Grr.
[20:59] <losha> Purpley: please use my nick so your comments to me don't get lost. Which ubuntu os version (there are different versions of grub depending)

[21:01] <losha> !grub2
[21:01] <mka> Pirate-King, that has nothing to do with ubuntu
[21:01] <wastrel> america
[21:01] <oCean_> Corruption: and you are sure you cannot install from iso?
[21:01] <CoreyB> thanks losha
[21:01] <mezquitale> Pirate-King, use any nvidia card, agp is old so you might want to head over to #hardware and ask there, old equipment tend to work out of the box, at least me for me it has
[21:01] <howdeep> !tab ubottu
[21:01] <Corruption> oCean: not in vmware
[21:02] <losha> Corruption: for the player, I think you're right. You need a ready built image. Try googling for one, or use virtualbox instead...
[21:02] <Pirate-King> thanks
[21:02] <guntbert> howdeep: you use the <tab> key after typing the first few characters of a nick
[21:02] <Corruption> losha: Yeah just installing virtualbox atm, seems like the best option
[21:02] <howdeep> guntbert,  thanks

[21:04] <oCean_> Corruption: I think I read somewhere vmw-player could be modified to run iso, but vbox is top option, I think
[21:04] <trism> Corruption: you can use vmware server to create the image and use it in player if you want, but virtualbox is probably the easier choice
[21:04] <Dravenm4> Anyone?
[21:05] <oCean_> !ask | Dravenm4
[21:05] <mezquitale> Dravenm4, can you ask the real question, all in one line
[21:05] <clrg> Corruption: Try to get into the BIOS of your vmware virtual machine, then set the first boot device to cdrom. The next time you start vmware player, it will boot the iso.

[21:08] <eltume> it says no such file or directory
[21:08] <pm> do i need to use wpa_supplicant explicitly?
[21:08] <VirusCollector> Well, anyone else want to help me? Running TiLP gives me an error: "tilp: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libticables2.so.2: undefined symbol: usb_debug" This TiLP is installed from the repos.
[21:08] <clrg> Diverdude: Use OpenOffice.
[21:08] <blakkheim> eltume: .. you were supposed to replace filename.iso with the filename of the iso..
[21:08] <Diverdude> Keld, well, i did not install wine yet...so the newest i guess
[21:08] <mezquitale> Dravenm4, what application are you attempting to use to hear sound?
[21:08] <eltume> i did
[21:08] <Keld> sorry, which version of office :)
[21:08] <tritium> Diverdude: are you aware that OpenOffice is installed by default?
[21:08] <Diverdude> clrg, openoffice is no good...i already have that installed, and it fucks up the documents :(
[21:09] <tritium> Watch the foul language, Diverdude.
[21:09] <Diverdude> sry
[21:09] <Dravenm4> LOL my first venture into linux was pointed to UBUNTU a lil lost
[21:09] <Diverdude> but it really messes it up
[21:10] <Keld> it seems people have limited success with office under wine
[21:10] <Keld> some not at all.
[21:10] <Diverdude> so i was thinking of installing wine and MSoffice instead
[21:10] <Keld> (including me)
[21:10] <Diverdude> hmm ok....thats not so good
[21:10] <clrg> Diverdude: The problem you described ain't OpenOffice, its the format Microsoft uses (.doc)
[21:10] <oCean_> eltume: have you opened a terminal?
[21:10] <eltume> yes
[21:10] <Diverdude> clrg, okay...but that does not really help me
[21:10] <eltume> eltume@eltume-desktop:~$
[21:11] <oCean_> eltume: and your downloaded iso is in the Desktop directory?
[21:11] <Diverdude> clrg, is it possible to fix somehow?
[21:11] <eltume> oCean, EXACTLY
[21:11] <losha> Diverdude: crossover office is a version of wine specially crafted for running msoft office. I believe it costs money though....
[21:11] <trism> pm: you can configure it through /etc/network/interfaces (although it will still need some configuration for wpa_supplicant in there)
[21:11] <tritium> Diverdude: are you running the latest release of Ubuntu?  Recent versions of OpenOffice handle even the most complex MS Office documents almost always perfectly.
[21:11] <oCean_> eltume: then try "cd ~/Desktop" ; that should bring you into the Desktop directory
[21:11] <Diverdude> tritium, i am runnning 9.10 i guess that is the latest ubuntu right?
[21:12] <tritium> Diverdude: yes.
[21:12] <oCean_> eltume: once there, then do "ls -al" to list all files there. You should see your downloaded ISO file
[21:12] <trism> pm: which you can generate with wpa_passphrase
[21:12] <hans-uwe> Wie bekomme ich einen webcam chat bei msn hin????????
[21:12] <tritium> !de | hans-uwe
[21:12] <oCean_> !de | hans-uwe
[21:12] <Diverdude> tritium, ok....it does not seem to be able to handle these documents very well unfortunately...and also others which i have tried
[21:12] <tritium> Diverdude: quite surprising
[21:12] <Corruption1> yeah i got it installed now
[21:12] <losha> tritium: Unfortunately, I've never found that to be the case in reality. The only thing that works *perfectly* with complex MS Office documents is msoffice I'm afraid...
[21:12] <eltume> i see both of my downloaded iso
[21:13] <sacarlson> losha: Diverdude: if you really want office then run it in windows in linux under Virtualbox.  then you know it will work and it's free
[21:13] <eltume> so?
[21:13] <oCean_> eltume: great. Now do "md5sum filename.iso"
[21:13] <Diverdude> sacarlson, aha, virtual box.....is that an alternative to wine?
[21:13] <tritium> Diverdude: is it a font issue, by chance?  That is often remedied by installing msttcorefonts.
[21:13] <losha> sacarlson: free except for the cost of the windows license, that is....
[21:13] <sacarlson> losha: Diverdude: asuming you have windows lic. already
[21:13] <guntbert> eltume: it will take some time
[21:13] <clrg> Diverdude: I've been using proprietary formats from Microsoft in combination with OpenOffice, and it seems to be working just fine. I don't see why it doesn't work for you.
[21:13] <Diverdude> sacarlson, i have
[21:13] <clrg> oCean_: Thx for explaining =)
[21:13] <oCean_> eltume: or you could use tabcompletion: type "md5sum", then type the first characters of the filename and hit <tab>
[21:14] <eltume> do write the filename exactly as it is written or lowercase all
[21:14] <Diverdude> tritium, its formulas and graphics
[21:14] <tritium> losha: that used to be the case for me as well, but no longer.
[21:14] <eltume> the TAB works way better
[21:14] <oCean_> eltume: exactly as it is in the "ls" output, or use tab :)
[21:14] <losha> tritium: that'
[21:14] <eltume> yes! It's working
[21:14] <Kamokow> I deleted my trash icon from the lower panel, and i added it back, however i cant get it back to the very right side where it defaults to because I cant move it past my workspaces. How do i move it back?
[21:14] <eltume> thank you
[21:14] <oCean_> eltume: yay!
[21:14] <losha> tritium: that's great if it's true. I will give it another try....
[21:14] <sn[a]ke> Ubuntu wont load my SD card
[21:14] <sacarlson> Diverdude: I guess so, it runs windows or sun or just about anything in the original software
[21:14] <Keld> Diverdude, it handles most stuff I throw at it, except fields, as  sacarlson VirtualBox is a good option ,easy to setup,
[21:15] <tritium> Diverdude: in a spreadsheet?
[21:15] <VCoolio> Kamokow: right click the workspaces at make them movable
[21:15] <trism> Kamokow: you will probably need to unlock the applets that are in the way, then you can lock them again
[21:15] <Diverdude> tritium, no in word
[21:15] <Kamokow> Okay, thanks.
[21:15] <sn[a]ke> Ubuntu wont load my SD card
[21:15] <clrg> sn[a]ke: Give me the output of dmesg | pastebini
[21:15] <clrg> sn[a]ke: Give me the output of dmesg | pastebinit
[21:15] <sn[a]ke> whar
[21:15] <Kamokow> trism: That was my problem, thanks ;)
[21:15] <sn[a]ke> ???
[21:15] <GloomyJD> @Snake, let me try mine actually...
[21:15] <tritium> Diverdude: I can't speak to that, then.  I use LaTeX for its superior mathematics typesetting.  Word is awful for that application to start with.
[21:16] <clrg> sn[a]ke: Open a terminal, and type: "dmesg | pastebinit"
[21:16] <Dravenm4> how do I look at a list of hardware i dont think ubuntu installed my ound card
[21:16] <Dravenm4> sound card
[21:16] <clrg> Dravenm4: lshw
[21:16] <blinky> hi all
[21:16] <Diverdude> tritium, me too....but unfortunately i cannot dictate what other people should and should not do...and they work in word
[21:16] <Keld> Diverdude, depending on version, it seems some people have success with word.  My problem was licensing, I have a valid licence but whenever I enter it it just asks for it again!
[21:17] <Diverdude> Keld, on virtual box?
[21:17] <Keld> in wine apparently
[21:17] <Keld> according to wineHQ
[21:17] <Keld> http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=10
[21:17] <mka> I need a quick thumb suck on an AGP graphics card that is very much compatible with ubuntu in general, should I search on ATI or on nVidia?
[21:17] <Diverdude> ahh
[21:17] <mka> hi blinky
[21:17] <blinky> could someone please tell me how i install ati graphics driver onto an install of 9.10 from a livecd, when i boot from grub into the installed os all i get is a flashing cursor, from what i read its to do with the drivers.
[21:17] <b0w> i use it on wine well crossover pro
[21:18] <eltume> oCean, I got a small problem now. I trying to verify am iso inside a folder and I wrote the exact name it says no such file or dirctory
[21:18] <Keld> that gives an overview & rating for each version of word, its worth following the relevant link & checking for any comments, as some versions of office/wine seem to have problems
[21:18] <sn[a]ke> clrg, http://pastebin.com/f4e30c30e
[21:18] <Diverdude> Keld, but why should it be better or worse to use wine over virtualbox? Because virtualbox requires a license and wine does not?
[21:18] <VirusCollector> Well, anyone else want to help me? Running TiLP gives me an error: "tilp: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libticables2.so.2: undefined symbol: usb_debug" This TiLP is installed from the repos.
[21:18] <clrg> sn[a]ke: Thx, hold on a sec while I check it
[21:18] <losha> mka: search newegg for something that the reviewers say works well with ubuntu. I favor nvidia personally...
[21:18] <Keld> Diverdude, virtualbox will require a valid windows license
[21:19] <mka> thanks losha
[21:19] <Keld> as you install windows inside the 'virtualbox' (its like a virtual computer, but everything is stored in a file)
[21:19] <sacarlson> blinky:  you mean it never boots where you can see a usable screen?
[21:20] <clrg> sn[a]ke: Your SD card was detected correctly. It's called "sdb". Try "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt"
[21:20] <sn[a]ke> so whats up with pastebin? I just heard of it yesterday
[21:20] <sn[a]ke> k thanks
[21:20] <guntbert> eltume: you must give it the complete path ie md5sum folder/myfile.iso
[21:21] <milhous> ?
[21:21] <milhous> sorry, disregard that
[21:21] <Diverdude> Keld, Does virtualbox take up a lot of space?
[21:21] <Dravenm4> lshw tells me I have a IXP SB4x0 High Def audio controller from ATI technologies but in audio control it shows nothing
[21:21] <eltume> guntbert, thanks but I followed the previous example from oCean by cd into the folder in the desktop folder and doing it from there
[21:21] <Keld> Diverdude, I'm unsure of the size of the application, the size of the virtual machine you create is up to yourself, but obviously it needs to be big enough to hold windows & office.
[21:22] <clrg> Dravenm4: You're probably missing the driver for your audio device
[21:22] <guntbert> eltume: yes, but now you want a different file?
[21:22] <Dravenm4> How do I find thisdriver?
[21:22] <Keld> Diverdude, you should be able to find VirtualBox under the Software Centre.
[21:22] <Dravenm4> do i go to toshiba's website
[21:22] <GloomyJD> anybody know how to access my SD card? No "computer" option in file manager and i'm kind of weak on the subject
[21:23] <eltume> guntbert, I did what I said with the different file except I "cd" into the folder in the desktop folder of the different file.
[21:23] <sn[a]ke> clrg: Tis not werking :-(
[21:23] <VirusCollector> Help please, TiLP gives an error on "sudo tilp"....
[21:23] <sn[a]ke> no duh your collecting virusses
[21:23] <guntbert> eltume: sorry - there is some misunderstanding - what is you problem *now*?
[21:24] <VirusCollector> sn[a]ke: Cute. Real cute.
[21:24] <eltume> something is weird. The letters in the original md5 checksum are all CAPS but when I md5sum checked it the letter all matched but instead they are all lowercased
[21:24] <eltume> guntbert, refer above
[21:24] <sn[a]ke> clrg: my sd card wont mount
[21:24] <sn[a]ke> /dev/sdb1
[21:25] <sn[a]ke> does not exist
[21:25] <b0w> how can i know where my cam is located like /dev/???
[21:25] <clrg> sn[a]ke: Try "sudo fdisk -l". This will show you all partitions. Take the first partition on the drive "sdb" and mount it with "mount /dev/xxx /mnt"
[21:25] <guntbert> eltume: you have to use the file name on you disk - so best you use <tab> completion
[21:25] <eltume> guntbert i did
[21:25] <soreau> sn[a]ke: I think he said sdb, not sdb1
[21:26] <guntbert> eltume: and what happened?
[21:26] <losha> eltume: case isn't significant in this particular instance. Just compare them without regard to case....
[21:26] <eltume> the person who gave me the file gave me the md5 checksum. Mines matched with his except the letters in mine are all lowercased
[21:26] <sn[a]ke> Try "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt"
[21:26] <eltume> oh
[21:26] <b0w> hello! maybe someone can help on this, how can i know where my cam is located like /dev/???
[21:26] <eltume> losha, fixed my problem
[21:26] <sn[a]ke> that is a quote
[21:26] <clrg> soreau: sdb is the device, sdb1,2,3,4 etc are the partitions on that device
[21:26] <Corruption1> would you recomend
[21:26] <Corruption1> ubuntu
[21:26] <Corruption1> or kubuntu?
[21:26] <eltume> thank you guntbert and losha
[21:26] <Corruption1> in general as an operating system
[21:27] <clrg> Corruption1: Do you prefer gnome or kde?
[21:27] <guntbert> eltume: ah - now I understand too - ...
[21:27] <b0w> its the same operating system
[21:27] <sn[a]ke> its not working im just gonna restart.
[21:27] <soreau> clrg: Yea well for my camera its just sdc
[21:27] <sn[a]ke> you cant partition a camera
[21:27] <b0w> are you guys talking to me?
[21:27] <clrg> sn[a]ke: Not the camera, the storage device of the camera.
[21:27] <losha> Corruption1: either will work. xubuntu is a bit lighter on resources supposedly. But more people use ubuntu than anything else, so the available free support is arguably better for ubuntu....
[21:28] <sn[a]ke> oh srry
[21:28] <b0w> hello! maybe someone can help on this, how can i know where my cam is located like /dev/???
[21:28] <sn[a]ke> b0w

[21:28] <b0w> sn[a]ke: ok!
[21:28] <libwtf> help, karmic randomly freezes, i cant use the keyboard, nothing is responsive but i can move the mouse cursor
[21:30] <sn[a]ke> b0w: send me the link that comes out
[21:30] <b0w> sn[a]ke: its working on it
[21:30] <soreau> b0w: Look at the output of dmesg right after you plug in your camera
[21:31] <sn[a]ke> How many devices do you have?
[21:31] <b0w> its integrated
[21:32] <b0w> i got the link wait a sec
[21:32] <clrg> b0w: Do you see your cam with lspci or lsusb?
[21:32] <soreau> b0w: You mean its a webcam?
[21:32] <b0w> yeap

[21:35] <Corruption1> I'm just trying out a bunch of different versions

[21:36] <scann> hi
[21:36] <scann> how do i scan with my scanner (parallel port, scanmagic 600 cp) in ubuntu?
[21:37] <soreau> Corruption1: If you are new to linux, I recommend the latest version of ubuntu which is currently 9.10
[21:37] <Dravenm4> when I use the command aplay -l i get zero devices I still cant get sound to work
[21:38] <ezra14> does anyone know if there is an application for streaming video on netflix?
[21:38] <Corruption1> clrg (or anyone for that matter) - I have pointed the software to the new kubuntu ISO
[21:38] <Corruption1> but it keeps giving me an error message saying it cant find the ubuntu ISO
[21:38] <Corruption1> nevermind i have sorted it
[21:38] <Corruption1> :)
[21:40] <ctmjr_> ezra14: there is none netflix's player is not compatible with linux
[21:40] <ezra14> ctmjr_: is there an alternative?
[21:40] <Dravenm4> Ok I have a toshiba Satellite A135-s2386 with a fresh install of ubuntu 9.10 everything is working except my sound. I have sound showing up in my hardware but nothing showing on playback devices?

[21:41] <Dravenm4> yes did the updates last night

[21:44] <usertwo> how can i copy grub onto a usb stick and install it onto another ubuntu machine?
[21:44] <ctmjr_> ezra14: but it has been awhile since i tried you might google it someone could have come up with something
[21:44] <lstarnes> niek33: there isn't one by default
[21:44] <lstarnes> niek33: you have to set it manually
[21:44] <mithridates> why amarok doesn't play mp3 in karmic?
[21:44] <clrg> niek33: Hit alt+F2 and type "gnome-terminal"
[21:45] <ActionParsnip> mithridates: codecs
[21:45] <mithridates> why amarok doesn't play mp3 in karmic? but other players can play it
[21:45] <mithridates> ActionParsnip:  no I don't think so
[21:45] <ActionParsnip> mithridates: you'd be better asking in #kubuntu
[21:45] <mithridates> why?
[21:46] <ActionParsnip> mithridates: its a kde based app and kubuntu uses kde by default
[21:46] <pawel_121> mithridates try this: sudo aptitude install libxine1-ffmpeg
[21:46] <mithridates> aah ok but I think it relates to ubuntu
[21:46] <mithridates> tnx pawel_121
[21:46] <Maleko> any grep or sed guru? how do i append text to the beginning of lines that contain ".exe" in a file?
[21:46] <usertwo> anyone know how i can copy grub onto a ausb and install it onto another machine?
[21:47] <pawel_121> mithridates no problem :)
[21:47] <ActionParsnip> mithridates: it does relate to ubuntu but you will get better support in #kubuntu

[21:52] <miasma> has anyone else noticed that the default ubuntu desktop leaks memory? i left my old lappy with 256 MB of ram on for a day. in the end of the day, the memory consumption had risen from ~180 MB to 380 MB. the load avg. was ~12. serious cache trashing
[21:52] <ActionParsnip> usertwo: you can install grub from a live cd, you dont have to copy anything
[21:52] <miasma> i mean i didn't even start any programs
[21:52] <sn[a]ke> that didnt help!
[21:52] <guntbert> usertwo: usually if someone knows the answer he/hse will tell it - but there isn't always an answer
[21:52] <ActionParsnip> miasma: is most of it disk cache by any chance?
[21:52] <guntbert> *she
[21:53] <miasma> ActionParsnip: no, I know very well how to measure memory consumption on linux

[21:53] <ActionParsnip> miasma: i assume nothing, youocan put your handbag down if you like
[21:53] <sn[a]ke> hey Im trying to move files to my SD card and it keeps having an Input/output error(fsck didnt help!)
[21:53] <miasma> ActionParsnip: it just seems that the stupid gui daemons written in python leak mem
[21:53] <ActionParsnip> sn[a]ke: did the device fsck ok?
[21:53] <Weee> so did this ever happened before to anyone, ubuntu 32bit not booting on a 64bit amd cpu ?
[21:54] <ActionParsnip> miasma: log a bug
[21:54] <sn[a]ke> it said it left it unchanged

[21:55] <ActionParsnip> sn[a]ke: can you give the output of: lspci
[21:55] <Milp> What does it mean if processes are hidden?
[21:56] <Skeeve> Hi Sn[a]ke it is! When I type first [rfkill unblock all] I secondly have to [ifconfig wlan0 up]

[21:57] <soreau> s0l1dsnak3123: How did you install the nvidia driver?
[21:58] <s0l1dsnak3123> using the "hardware drivers" program that comes with ubuntu
[21:58] <sn[a]ke> ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/f29b72339
[21:58] <s0l1dsnak3123> im on 9.10 32bit by the way
[21:58] <soreau> s0l1dsnak3123: Well it looks like its working.. does compiz work ok?
[21:58] <sn[a]ke> hey u stole my name solid snake!
[21:58] <sn[a]ke> lol jk
[21:58] <Skeeve> Sn[a]ke: In /var/log/message it says: [ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready]
[21:58] <s0l1dsnak3123> soreau: it does
[21:59] <s0l1dsnak3123> sn[a]ke - i've been using it for years :P
[21:59] <usertwo> purpley: you wont get help here...i have been asking that question for the last 10 minutes!
[21:59] <soreau> s0l1dsnak3123: Then there is nothing wrong with your driver installation. Not sure what problem you are having, maybe they need to be configured differently
[21:59] <linguinii> I want to get some of my family running ubuntu, but the biggest block is getting devices they use to work with ubuntu...
[21:59] <sn[a]ke> i was since 1995 (my brother let me play mg2)
[21:59] <Diverdude> tritium, you see what i mean?
[21:59] <s0l1dsnak3123> soreau: I'm trying to run bioshock under wine. the conclusion was in #winehq that glx wasn't working correctly and that something was very, very wrong
[21:59] <pac1> is there a good howto on getting a bittorrent client working?
[22:00] <linguinii> (in this case, a webcam, but I fear the printer and scanners are also going to be pains...)
[22:00] <s0l1dsnak3123> soreau: I'll tell them that, and see what happens :)
[22:00] <purpley> actionparsnip I get an error, it says the file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly
[22:00] <ActionParsnip> sn[a]ke: laptop wiki says it all works well on a Dell 1011. Let me keep digging
[22:00] <vic> does anyone know about svn
[22:00] <s0l1dsnak3123> vic: i do
[22:00] <vic> I am facinf problem with it
[22:00] <pac1> I've got the client installed (transmission), and the torrent shows as downloading, but nothing is happening.  no connected peers.
[22:00] <guntbert> pac1: I just installed it - nothing special
[22:01] <s0l1dsnak3123> vic: what's the problem?
[22:01] <usertwo> purpley: did your grub work in the live cd?
[22:01] <sn[a]ke> I like IRC: we all come with some questions and some answers :-)
[22:01] <purpley> what do u mean usertwo
[22:01] <digitalaxis> Is there something like navicat for linux?
[22:01] <pac1> I grabbed the bittorrent for debian-503-i386-DVD-1.iso.torrent      and its just sitting there.
[22:01] <pac1> what configuration would be needed?
[22:02] <PLO-6239> hi
[22:02] <guntbert> !software | pac1
[22:02] <d3mon_> sup?
[22:02] <sn[a]ke> pac1: Why on earth did you torrent linux?
[22:02] <usertwo> purpley: i am also having to reinstall my bootloader grub, but grub was not found on my live cd
[22:02] <ActionParsnip> sn[a]ke: speed
[22:02] <mead> why not torrent linux?
[22:02] <pac1> cause debian asked me to.
[22:02] <sn[a]ke> oh speed
[22:02] <sn[a]ke> i didnt know it was faster
[22:02] <sulio> hey guys, quick question......... Im running xubuntu and having the hardest time turning off Tap to Click on the touchpad... Ive edited the xorg.conf file and everything, and no go
[22:02] <mead> it is like the most legitimate use of torrenting
[22:02] <sulio> anyone got any ideas?
[22:02] <sn[a]ke> pac1: Ok
[22:03] <d3mon_> hey, whats new here?
[22:03] <guntbert> !hi | d3mon_
[22:03] <sulio>  message me if u do...
[22:03] <Joeseph> I have installed winbind and would like to include resolving windows names with winbind automatically.  What file handles this?
[22:03] <vic> I am not able to run svn update in Freeswitch
[22:03] <Skeeve> Oh lord, too much problems ....
[22:03] <ActionParsnip> sn[a]ke: well its downloading from multiple people so will be notably faster, it also allows users to download off you which eases strain on the servers
[22:04] <PLO-6239> there are only two options gnome-panel menu i can't add program even i can't move any icon by right click.
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> sn[a]ke: do you have the latest bios in your Dell?
[22:04] <PLO-6239> What could be problem
[22:04] <guntbert> pac1: are you behind a router?
[22:04] <rapha> I just installed Ubuntu via the alternate CD but it won't load ... can somebody help me?
[22:04] <purpley> I Think its on my livecd
[22:04] <pac1> is there anything I have to open up for torrents in my firewall?
[22:04] <Skeeve> I guess I better publish my problem in the forum :-) keep hacking
[22:04] <pac1> guntbert, yes
[22:04] <sn[a]ke> I think so how can I check?
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> rapha: did you md5 test the iso you burned? did you verify the cd once initially booted to?
[22:04] <sn[a]ke> Hey how did you know i had a del??
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> sn[a]ke: lshw shows if the system tells it
[22:04] <guntbert> pac1: then you probably will have to open the port on your router
[22:05] <SetiAmon> Hey i'm having a bit of a problem setting up dual monitors with jaunty.I god twinview running but the resolution on one of the monitors cuts off some of the screen.
[22:05] <ActionParsnip> sn[a]ke: try: sudo lshw | head -n 20
[22:05] <sn[a]ke> oh k
[22:05] <rapha> ActionParsnip: no, let me try now ...
[22:05] <ActionParsnip> sn[a]ke: it will tell you
[22:05] <pac1> gnutbert, which one?
[22:05] <s0l1dsnak3123> soreau: when i run glxgears, i get an error upon closure: http://pastebin.com/m3d7716fa
[22:05] <PLO-6239> !gnome
[22:05] <ActionParsnip> rapha: surely thats a smart thing to do BEFORE installing
[22:05] <PLO-6239> !gnome-panel
[22:05] <ActionParsnip> rapha: how do you know what you downloaded was complete or consistant?
[22:06] <rapha> ActionParsnip: well, Transmission is quite good at verifying that during the download ... never failed me so far
[22:06] <soreau> s0l1dsnak3123: The only thing I can suggest is to try a different version of the nvidia driver
[22:06] <purpley> can someone help me reinstall grub
[22:06] <sn[a]ke> ActionParsnip, Bios physical ID: 1
[22:06] <mead> I have a laptop without a internal HDD and won't boot to a USB device, is ubuntu able to have a bootloader on a CD rom drive and boot the OS off a USB HDD?
[22:06] <usertwo> purpley: do you want to reinstall grub or grub2?
[22:06] <soreau> ! grub | purpley
[22:06] <rapha> ActionParsnip: okay, just took the MD5 of the ISO and it's correct ... CD check running now
[22:06] <guntbert> pac1: open edit/preferences/networking in transmission - that port must be forwarded to you machine
[22:06] <purpley> grub2
[22:06] <ActionParsnip> sn[a]ke: lshw    says you have version A06 of your BIOS, you should see if there is a newer one
[22:06] <guntbert> *your
[22:06] <soreau> ! grub2 | purpley
[22:07] <purpley> actionparsnip I get an error, it says the file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly
[22:07] <jellow> pac1: these ports are p2p protocol 6881-6889
[22:07] <s0l1dsnak3123> soreau: how would you recommend I do that?
[22:07] <pac1> i have them set up on my router.
[22:07] <purpley> that's the error I get following the grub2 guide
[22:07] <soreau> s0l1dsnak3123: Very carefully :)
[22:07] <ActionParsnip> rapha: you have blindly used an unchecked unverified install medium, if the disk is bad, thats why you are having issues. a bad CD will make a bad install
[22:07] <aendruk> gslug
[22:07] <usertwo> purpley: stage1 is for grub not grub2
[22:07] <d3mon_> hey, how has heard of  iptables -P INPUT DROP
[22:07] <d3mon_> ??
[22:07] <ActionParsnip> rapha: the checks arent there for laughs, they are to be used
[22:07] <aendruk> excuse me
[22:07] <rapha> ActionParsnip: and you are jumping to an assumption
[22:07] <soreau> s0l1dsnak3123: I am more of an ati guy so that is the only suggestion I can make without going into details
[22:07] <usertwo> purpley: try this....sudo fdisk -l
[22:08] <s0l1dsnak3123> soreau: lol
[22:08] <ActionParsnip> rapha: how?
[22:08] <usertwo> purpley: note where your linux is installed
[22:08] <purpley> usertwo I see my partitions
[22:08] <sabgenton> is there I place i can download contents of the karmic iso without having to download the whole iso?
[22:08] <purpley> yes yes yes I know
[22:08] <rapha> ActionParsnip: in drawing a conclusion before the test that I'm running right now has finished
[22:08] <sn[a]ke> ActionParsnip, I think its the latest. I just got it on christmas.
[22:08] <ActionParsnip> sabgenton: you can download packages from http://packages.ubuntu.com to get individual packages
[22:08] <usertwo> purpley: sudo mkdir /media/sda3 where sda3 is your linux partition
[22:09] <sabgenton> ActionParsnip: I want usb-creator.exe
[22:09] <ActionParsnip> rapha: i said "if the disk is bad"
[22:09] <sabgenton> ActionParsnip: not a .deb
[22:09] <purpley> k
[22:09] <ActionParsnip> rapha: no conclusion has been drawn there
[22:09] <indrora> How can I fix the nasty grainy fuzz that shows up on my old graphics card when I scroll?
[22:09] <sn[a]ke> sabgenton, what do you mean by USB Creator.exe
[22:09] <ActionParsnip> sabgenton: thats a windows app then as exe is for windows
[22:09] <usertwo> purpley: sudo mount /dev/sda3 /media/sda3
[22:09] <rapha> ActionParsnip: sorry, my fault then for having read over the 'if'.
[22:09] <ActionParsnip> rapha: ;)
[22:09]  * indrora is running an ATI Mobility M3
[22:09] <rapha> :)
[22:10] <sabgenton> ActionParsnip: it comes on the root of the iso
[22:10] <sn[a]ke> ActionParsnip, i think i ran an exe on ubuntu once
[22:10] <mead> I got it running on a ATI mobility M11
[22:10] <purpley> done
[22:10] <sabgenton> well .. the netbook iso
[22:10] <usertwo> purpley: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/sda3 /dev/sda
[22:10] <sabgenton> I think it comes on the desktop iso aswell
[22:10] <sn[a]ke> ActionParsnip, chmod +x
[22:11] <ActionParsnip> sn[a]ke: can be ran with wine too ;)
[22:11] <usertwo> purpley: that should do it...do sudo reboot
[22:11] <sabgenton> ActionParsnip: I just want the cd contents extracted out to some ftp someware
[22:11] <purpley> how long will this take?
[22:11] <indrora> mead: what AGP options do you have turned on in your xorg.conf
[22:11] <PLO-6239> ActionParsnip: can i ask a question ?
[22:11] <sabgenton> iso contence
[22:12] <ActionParsnip> PLO-6239: sup
[22:12] <sabgenton> contents
[22:12] <usertwo> purpley: its done, try rebooting
[22:12] <pac1> torrent is showing "Announce failed: tracker did not respond"
[22:12] <NFischer> How to change preferred DNS Server through terminal?!
[22:12] <rapha> ActionParsnip: no dice :-/ - the CD is valid
[22:12] <purpley> no its not, the command is still running
[22:12] <sn[a]ke> ActionParsnip, What if i just copy my sd contents into my home dir and then formaat it to FAT again?
[22:13] <purpley> its just blinking
[22:13] <guntbert> NFischer: edit /etc/resolv.conf
[22:13] <ActionParsnip> sn[a]ke: worth a try, maybe its a bug with the current kernel. have you tried an older one
[22:13] <usertwo> purpley: it may be slow as you are using a live cd, but thats the procedure
[22:13] <PLO-6239> ActionParsnip: there are only two options gnome-panel (help,about gnome-panel)  right-click menu. i can't add program even i can't move any icon by right click.
[22:13] <sn[a]ke> ActionParsnip, no
[22:13] <sn[a]ke> brb
[22:13] <ActionParsnip> rapha: then try some bootoptions or disable some hardware in bios
[22:13] <joshua___> Is there anyway to set package state to "never install but treat as installed for dependency checking"?
[22:13] <vic> hey does anyone knows about Subversion
[22:14] <purpley> the cdrom dosent sound like its installing or running very fast either
[22:14] <ActionParsnip> PLO-6239: i don't use gnome, sorry. You could try reverting the panel to defaults then rebuild
[22:14] <rapha> ActionParsnip: I just overwrote an installation of Linux Mint with this Ubuntu install, whose X was working perfectly fine. Why would Ubuntu's X screw up and keep flickering the text-mode login?
[22:14] <ActionParsnip> !panelreset | PLO-6239
[22:14] <PLO-6239> thx
[22:14] <vic> hey does anyone knows about Subversion
[22:14] <joshua___> you see I want kubuntu-desktop installed for update/upgrade control but if I install usplash -- no boot
[22:14] <pac1> vic, what do you want to know?
[22:14] <NFischer> guntbert, thx, and how to apply changes?!
[22:14] <rapha> vic: used it a couple times
[22:15] <usertwo> purpley: anything?
[22:15] <ActionParsnip> rapha: mint is a modified ubuntu so they will have slight differences. its why mint isnt supported here
[22:15] <Mike_lifeguard> I'm trying to check ssh keys on my system with ssh-vulnkey. I have openssh-blacklist and openssh-blacklist-extra installed, but I'm still getting "Unknown (blacklist file not installed)" when running sudo ssh-vulnkey -a. What should I do differently?
[22:15] <NFischer> guntbert, via terminal
[22:15] <purpley> its still blinking
[22:15] <vic> I am using this command   svn checkout http://svn.freeswitch.org/svn/freeswitch/trunk freeswitch
[22:15] <rapha> ActionParsnip: i'm just saying if something was wrong with the hardware why did mint work without a hitch - after all its based on uu
[22:15] <vic> and getting this error svn: Unrecognized URL scheme for 'http://svn.freeswitch.org/svn/freeswitch/trunk'
[22:15] <PLO-6239> thx. have nice day
[22:15] <rapha> ActionParsnip: i'm just saying if something was wrong with the hardware why did mint work without a hitch - after all its based on ubuntu
[22:15] <vic> any suggestions why?
[22:15] <purpley> this happened before where it just kept blinking and then it gave an error message
[22:15] <usertwo> purpley: hmmm...that worked for me.
[22:15] <ActionParsnip> rapha: i'd disable unneeded hardware like sound and other such stuff then use some boot options to remove more functionality. seems weird
[22:16] <ActionParsnip> rapha: yes its based on ubuntu but isn't ubuntu, its mint
[22:16] <usertwo> purpley: was the error message stage1?
[22:16] <purpley> yeo
[22:16] <mka> vic is the URL right?
[22:16] <purpley> yep
[22:16] <rapha> ActionParsnip: i know ... Windows XP is also working just fine. But let me disable whatever can be disabled.
[22:16] <vic> mka:yup
[22:16] <usertwo> purpley: did you do a fresh install or upgrade to 9.10?
[22:17] <ActionParsnip> rapha: could check your ram too if you have time
[22:17] <purpley> upgrade
[22:17] <pac1> vic, try svn co instead of svn checkout
[22:17] <purpley> wait, I think this is my 9.04 cd
[22:17] <rapha> ActionParsnip: for how long would you test it? The test seems to run indefinitely...
[22:17] <Corruption1> http://www.adequacy.org/stories/2<IP_ADDRESS>056.2147.html < for anyone that wants a laugh
[22:17] <usertwo> purpley: then you are still using grub and not grub2. grub2 is installed by default on a fresh install only
[22:17] <purpley> is there a way to check?
[22:17] <usertwo> purpley: so cancel that and try this...
[22:17] <ydprod> irc.travian.org
[22:18] <vic> pac1:same error
[22:18] <vic> pac1: same error
[22:18] <pac1> ok,  how did you build svn?
[22:18] <purpley> uh oh it said it was installing on dev/sd1 when I exited out
[22:18] <pac1> there are plugins that allow it to work over the net.
[22:18] <purpley> sdaq
[22:18] <mka> vic, what it you remove the trailing freeswitch?
[22:19] <purpley> sda1 my bad
[22:19] <vic> tried by snaptics
[22:19] <usertwo> purpley: from your live cd open another terminal and type sudo grub
[22:19] <vic> and using apt-get
[22:19] <vic> both didnt worked
[22:19] <pac1> do you have libsvn installed?
[22:19] <NFischer> How to reconnect to wifi ap through terminal?!
[22:19] <vic> yep
[22:20] <mka> vic can you try using an svn gui like rapidsvn
[22:20] <purpley> can u pm me the instructions I have to go do something quickly
[22:20] <mka> NFischer, use iwconfig
[22:20] <pac1> vic, The error you are seeing means that the dynamic linker/loader can't find the plugins to load.
[22:21] <vic> mka: where do i go for it??I am kind of new to ubuntu
[22:21] <purpley> usertwo pls pm me the instructions I have to tgo do somethin g quickly
[22:21] <lololol> I need a mouse emulator
[22:21] <lololol> quickly
[22:21] <vic> pac1: what can be done about it?
[22:21] <pac1> vic, what's in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH?
[22:21] <nibbler_> i am managing my photos with f-spot, whenever i export them, my tags get lost. is there a fix for that?
[22:22] <rapha> ActionParsnip: for how long would you test it (the RAM)? The test seems to run indefinitely...
[22:22] <usertwo> purpley: http://invariabletruth.com/?p=93 try this link
[22:22] <ActionParsnip> rapha: just one full test
[22:22] <rapha> ActionParsnip: okay, i'll give it a try
[22:23] <pac1> vic,  never mind.  try snaptic and reinstall libsvn1.
[22:23] <pac1> the command you entered works from here.
[22:24] <mka> vic, do as pac1 had suggested, this is a known problem http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#unrecognized-url-error
[22:25] <DexterF> hi
[22:25] <rapha> hi DexterF
[22:25] <lololol> aanyone know a mousr emulator
[22:25] <DexterF> in 9.10, do I need to do something to have mplayer use VDPAU?
[22:25] <mka> vic, try sudo apt-get --reinstall install subversion
[22:26] <rapha> DexterF: like, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1037625 ?
[22:27] <lololol> my mousre broke, how do I move my cursor
[22:27] <DexterF> rapha: jeez. I thought the mplayers in recent ubuntu had it compiled in.
[22:27] <DexterF> lololol: replace mouse
[22:27] <pac1> vic, if a plain reinstall doesn't do it for you, try removing subversion, libsvn1 and reinstalling.
[22:27] <NFischer> How to find out Version# in Terminal?!
[22:27] <lololol> DexterF: I cant at this moment

[22:31] <Corruption1> Turns out virtual box wont take a debain ISO
[22:31] <linguinii> I want to compile a small source file that depends on gtk-2.0.  I have a relatively clean ubuntu-9.10 install, but 'pkg-config gtk+-2.0' fails to find anything.  Do I need to do 'sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev' ?
[22:31] <Corruption1> unless it is actualy burnt to disc
[22:31] <iceroot> NFischer: apt-cache policy packagename
[22:31] <DexterF> rapha: seems it's compiled in in 9.10... had to reconf mplayer to use it... acts a bit weird tho...

[22:31] <iceroot> brig: rm -r
[22:32] <DexterF> lololol: no idea, sorry. there's an app to move the cursor with cursor key in kde, wouldn't know about gnome tho
[22:32] <brig> iceroot: nice... I think you are in the wrong room
[22:32] <iceroot> brig: for what? recursiv unlink files?
[22:32] <vic> mka,pac1: still the same problem
[22:32] <NFischer> iceroot, thx!
[22:33] <Suncross> Hey I am having some problems with my audio.  I am on a fresh ubuntu install; can anyone help?
[22:33] <brig> iceroot: sorry.. I have links... I dont want them to be links.. I want them to be copies... what should I have called it?

[22:33] <brig> I have a tree of folders that contains symbolic links to files... how do I make all the links copy's instead of links?
[22:34] <iceroot> brig: there is a option for cp  have a look at man cp  dont know sorry
[22:34] <pac1> vic, you could try finding the library and specifying it in LD_LIBRARY_PATH then running svn.
[22:34] <iceroot> brig: unlink is the word for deleting files
[22:34] <pac1> vic, odd that it doesn't just work.
[22:35] <brig> iceroot: lol just came from man cp, and info cp, and google... want to try again?
[22:35] <vic> pac1: yup I have been trying to fix it for sometime
[22:35] <NFischer> how to start a Gui-Program on tty from pts/1 ?

[22:36] <iceroot> brig: what about reread man cp about "-L"
[22:36] <mka> NFischer, create an environment variable called DISPLAY

[22:37] <Suncross> I have no sound on ubuntu 9.10, can anyone help?
[22:37] <vic> mka: nope didnt work
[22:37] <iceroot> brig: follow link location
[22:37] <Oleandro> list
[22:38] <pac1> vic, also $ type -a svn
[22:38] <brig> iceroot: wow... that works... the wording on that sucks though
[22:38] <mka> vic, really I don't know what to do next,
[22:38] <iceroot> brig: sounds good for me but i dont know if it what you want
[22:38] <vic> pac1: how do you find library
[22:38] <brig> iceroot: thanks
[22:38] <vic> ?
[22:38] <mka> NFischer, export DISPLAY=":0.0"
[22:38] <unop> brig,   for f in *; do if [[ -L "$f" ]]; then l=$(readlink "$f"); ln -v "$l" "$f"; fi; done
[22:38] <iceroot> brig: np
[22:38] <vic> mka: thanks anyways
[22:39] <mka> vic no prob
[22:39] <pac1> vic, library should be in /usr/lib
[22:39] <pac1> try type -a svn
[22:40] <pac1> should be just the one
[22:40] <pac1> if you tried to build svn yourself, you may have more than one.
[22:40] <vic> says svn is /usr/local/bin/svn svn is /usr/bin/svn
[22:41] <vic> yup two
[22:41] <pac1> ok try /usr/bin/svn instead of just svn.
[22:42] <pac1> vic, one of the two doesn't have the libsvn module for http linked in.
[22:42] <CasperNick> hello all
[22:42] <tvaughn> im running ubuntu 9.10 on 512 of ram... how can i cut down memory usage?
[22:43] <pac1> tvaughn, run small programs? ;-)
[22:43] <vic> pac1: let me check
[22:43] <tvaughn> pac1: Gnome is using the memory
[22:43] <cor_r> switch dektop environment, tvaughn
[22:43] <tvaughn> cor_r: whats one with a small memory footprint?
[22:43] <pac1> tvaughn, a lightweight window manager like xfce might help.
[22:43] <tvaughn> apt-get install xfce?
[22:43] <jellow> tvaughn: fluxbox , openbox aswell
[22:44] <cor_r> tvaughn, xfce openbox fluxbox lxde enlightment ...there are so many
[22:44] <pac1> tvaughn, not sure.  google xfce ubuntu
[22:44] <Gomi> I'm trying to use XChat to connect to someone else, but when I start a CTCP session I can use the commands (ls, dir, cd ...)
[22:44] <zorrolero> tvaughn: aptitude install xfce4
[22:44] <cor_r> tvaughn, look at te ubntu wiki, its very detailed about that
[22:44] <pac1> vic, how'd it go?
[22:45] <vic> pac1: I am a bit confuse again
[22:45] <purpley> usertwo
[22:45] <purpley> what's after sudo grub
[22:45] <pac1> vic, me too.
[22:45] <vic> pac1: I am a bit confuse again in usr/bin
[22:46] <vic> what am I looking for in /usr/bin
[22:46] <pac1> if you echo $PATH,  you'll see a list of  directories
[22:46] <pac1> mine reads: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
[22:46] <purpley> hey I need help reinstalling grub someone help pls
[22:46] <pac1> when you run a command like svn, linux looks in each of these directories for a file named svn.
[22:47] <pac1> if it finds one, it runs it.
[22:47] <CasperNick> I have launched some program, window is minimized. How I can give focus to program from console?
[22:47] <pac1> since you have an svn in both /usr/local/bin and /usr/bin, the /ur/local/bin/svn gets run first.
[22:47] <tvaughn> telinit 1 to go into single user text mode?
[22:47] <cor_r> purpley, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351
[22:47] <vic> thats what its says in my computer too and I can see svn,when I do ls
[22:47] <vic> in /usr/bin
[22:48] <pac1> the second one, /usr/bin/svn is the one you want to run.  To run it, just give the complete path /usr/bin/svn instead of just svn.
[22:48] <vic> k
[22:48] <vic> gotcha
[22:48] <vic> let me try
[22:48] <pac1> I'd just get rid of the one in /usr/local/bin
[22:48] <DexterF> rapha: nothing to do for mplayer but add vdpau lines to its config, in case you wanna know. 1080p playback at <1% cpu usage. mmh.
[22:48] <Wavesonics> hi all
[22:49] <DexterF> hwo do I replace pulse with alsa?
[22:49] <Wavesonics> what is a commandline utility to see what file system my partition is?
[22:49] <pac1> my /usr/local/bin is totally empty right now.  (just did a big reinstall)
[22:49] <userone> do i need to 'sudo update grub' after installing windows on a dual boot ubuntu or just change the entry in the menu.lst file?
[22:49] <pac1> my /usr/local/bin is totally empty right now.  (just did a big reinstall.)
[22:49] <userone> is purpley still around?
[22:49] <brainrawt> Wanderer, cat /etc/fstab ?
[22:50] <purpley> yes
[22:50] <purpley> I'm following a tut hold on
[22:50] <pac1> userone, if you're using grub2, then you would have to update-grub
[22:50] <userone> Wavesonics: sudo fdisk -l
[22:50] <yarvin> Wavesonics: 'sudo fdisk -l' ?
[22:50] <cor_r> lol
[22:50] <pac1> userone, menu.lst is no longer used.
[22:50] <Wavesonics> ah thank you :)
[22:50] <userone> pac1: using grub legacy
[22:51] <pac1> userone, then menu.lst must be edited.
[22:51] <Oleandro> please list
[22:51] <vic> pac1: That solved my problem, thanks a ton
[22:51] <pac1>  vic, yay!
[22:51] <userone> pac1: thanks..just wanted to be sure
[22:51] <vic> pac1: I was stuck on it for sometime now
[22:51] <pac1> vic, less confused?
[22:51] <vic> oh ya

[22:51] <Wavesonics> is there anything special I need to know for upgrading a software RAID10 ext3 to ext4?
[22:52] <vic> pac1:still trying to work my way around ubuntu
[22:52] <pac1> Stick with it.  it gets better.  less confusion on the easier stuff, more confusion on the tougher questions.\

[22:54] <jimdandy> Greetings Ubuntizens! Can someone help me figure out the best route to run a windows guest on my ubuntu machine? (I'd like to access it remotely.) Which is better, vmware, qemu, ...?
[22:54] <mister_roboto> jimdandy: i found virtualbox extremely easy to use
[22:54] <redIago> oo oo definately virtual box
[22:55] <CasperNick> rapha: download installator from official nvidia site
[22:55] <purpley> no I don't think so
[22:55] <redIago> you can have the start bar on the bottom and the nix bar on top
[22:55] <mister_roboto> jimdandy: you can set up port forwarding on it as well to go into your vm
[22:55] <jimdandy> Ok, I'll try virtualbox, thanks!
[22:55] <redIago> you can also click and drage files between the two with the guest additions add on
[22:56] <redIago> its beyond cool
[22:56] <ios> Hello everyone, I'm trying to figure out how can I connect to a L2TP VPN using ubuntu? Then I'm trying to connect to a microsoft 2003 server using remote desktop.
[22:56] <userone> pac1: i got a free upgrade from vista to win7, so i installed on my dual boot machine. do i just change the 'title' in menu.lst to say win7 instead of vista right?
[22:57] <mister_roboto> jimdandy: right, install the guest additions on the windows guest, it adds good stuff. including resizing the guest display to the size of your window automatically
[22:57] <linguinii> sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev # downloads 84MB of stuff
[22:57] <redIago> yup
[22:57] <redIago> @userone correct
[22:58] <mister_roboto> purpley: a droid irc client is hard enough to type on... need that name completion!  :)
[22:58] <userone> redlago: thanks
[22:58] <pac1> userone, that should work if you didn't move it.
[22:58] <Izinucs> What's the status with kubuntu and the ubuntu one service.. is kubuntu setup to autosync with ubuntu one like ubuntu is?
[22:58] <jimdandy> Hmm, do you recommend going with the closed source download?
[22:58] <userone> pac1: no, just upgraded but you can never trust win... ;-)
[22:58] <pac1> userone, unless the windows install hosed your boot sector.
[22:58] <Oleandro> msg _iron xdcc list
[22:58] <purpley> I use the touchscreen and a hacked stylus
[22:59] <mister_roboto> jimdandy: i used them both and the ose one is just fine unless you want to plug usb devices into the host computer and have them show up in the guest
[22:59] <mister_roboto> jimdandy: i forget what else the closed version adds but i found i didn't need it
[22:59] <userone> pac1; i just reinstalled grub and back into ubuntu. thats all i care about. hadnt used vista since i bought my new laptop 6 months ago! lol
[22:59] <pac1> you may want to make sure the mbr still does grub.
[23:00] <kerdal> What is a good program that is compatiable with IPOD
[23:00] <pac1> windows is great for stuff like turbotax and quicken.
[23:00] <Purpley1>

[23:00] <pac1> userone, i tried it but didn't like the reporting or lack of it.
[23:01] <AaronM> ummmm Oleandro im not a bot
[23:01] <JimmyJ> Purpley1, I don't think there is.
[23:01] <pac1> and scheme as a language?  get real... (flame bait)
[23:01] <mister_roboto> jimdandy: no harm in installing the closed source deb. it's legal for personal use. unless you have an ethical objection to it :)
[23:01] <Oleandro> excusemi but im new
[23:01] <jimdandy> i'll use a condom
[23:01] <pac1> I play whatever piano and code in whatever language is available... exclusively...
[23:01] <Purpley1> Dang, I have a 120 gigabyte zune :(
[23:01] <userone> pac1: i think thats improved, but if you happen to be a merchant banker then it may not be in your league! ;-)
[23:01] <tubbybtch> Hello all...I have used Ubuntu for about 6 months...I just bought a new laptop (ASUS U50), and immediately installed Koala.  On my old laptop, I had 9.10 installed with no major issues.  However, I have lost most of the hardware dependent keystrokes (e.g. turn on/off touchpad, wi-fi, etc.)  Any ideas?
[23:02] <Wavesonics> how can I upgrade to Grub2?
[23:02] <Wavesonics> 9.10
[23:02] <nisstyre65> tubbybtch; in the future you should use a live cd to make sure all of the hardware works
[23:02] <lstarnes> !grub2 | Wavesonics
[23:02] <pac1> apoligies to p. schickle.
[23:02] <tubbybtch> nissty: what is the difference?
[23:02] <nisstyre65> umm
[23:02] <nisstyre65> you make sure it works

[23:03] <Suncross> any tips?
[23:03] <Purpley1> Hey guys Ubuntu Software Center has no programs on it all the categories say 0 items available
[23:03] <nisstyre65> no
[23:03] <DexterF> Oleandro: dude, what?

[23:03] <nisstyre65> !live cd | tubbybtch
[23:03] <Oleandro> i want a bot
[23:03] <userone> Wavesonics: only fresh installs, not upgrades

[23:04] <TeLe> omgz
[23:04] <tubbybtch> nissty: thx
[23:04] <userone> Wavesonics; use sudo grub --version and it shoul;d tell you
[23:04] <Purpley1> Hey guys Ubuntu Software Center has no programs on it all the categories say 0 items available How do i update it? would sudo apt-get update work?

[23:05] <Wavesonics> thanks userone
[23:05] <AaronM> lol
[23:05] <courpse> ?
[23:05] <Izinucs> courpse: you need "screen"
[23:05] <jimdandy> ty mister_roboto
[23:05] <Wavesonics> I'm upgrading Grub in preperation for migrating to ext4
[23:05] <DexterF> anyways, I'd prefer alsa over pulse in 9.10, how would I configure that?
[23:05] <Izinucs> !screen | courpse
[23:05] <courpse> Izinucs, Yeah, its on a webhost, they havent got scren, :/
[23:05] <mister_roboto> courpse: you can run it with "nohup <programname>&"
[23:05] <Izinucs> courpse: ouch..
[23:06] <Purpley1> I get this http://pastebin.com/m62f2073e when I try to run update-manager how do i fix it?
[23:06] <courpse> I've requested it, but just got told i'll put it on later.
[23:06] <pac1> DexterF, I"ve run ito the same mess.  removing pulse gets rid of a LOT of stuff i want,  mostly multimedia.
[23:06] <kerdal> Sucrot I did the package and it does not work 6th gen IPOD.
[23:06] <jcc1> courpse, depends on the program, usually you use the -display option of the program and add the ampersand at the end of the command line
[23:06] <blakkheim> courpse: run your own server then
[23:06] <Oleandro> msg eggdrop xdcc list
[23:06] <courpse> mister_roboto, That will allow me to disconnect from SSH and the file still runs?

[23:07] <Purpley1> I get this http://pastebin.com/m62f2073e when I try to run update-manager how do i fix it?
[23:07] <mister_roboto> courpse: yes. when the child process gets the hangup signal due to the parent going away, nohup will handle it and keep your program running

[23:07] <courpse> Awesome.
[23:07]  * courpse tests.

[23:07] <jcc1> pac1:  I've never had a prob with Pulseaudio... what are it's problems?
[23:08] <pac1> jcc1, try using more than one app that is not Pulse aware.  fgfs and fgcom for example.
[23:08] <pac1> fgfs is flightgear, fgcom is the communications part of flightgear.
[23:08] <SetiAmon> how do set up a dual monitor setup so that each display is a CLONE of the other,meaning right now part of one monitor is cut off
[23:08] <pac1> Its a mess on ubuntu and nobody seems to have a complete answer.
[23:09] <jcc1> I'll have to try it :-) but so far so good, but then again I use very few audio progs
[23:09] <pac1> SetiAmon,  do they share the same resolution capabilities?
[23:09] <Suncross> Can anyone help me with my audio troubles?  I am having problems getting it to work.  I have all my other drivers installed.
[23:09] <SetiAmon> No

[23:10] <courpse> mister_roboto, Good man, works great.
[23:10] <blakkheim> SetiAmon: how do you expect them to mirror then? they're totally different aspect radios
[23:10] <mister_roboto> courpse: glad to hear it!  the part about me being a good man i mean  :)
[23:10] <Suncross> Jcc1: I have, but to no avail.

[23:10] <courpse> mister_roboto, lol.
[23:11] <aliendude5300> Hey guys, this is kinda off topic, but I have a networking question. I'm going to buy a 75ft ethernet cable. It's only $2.20 more for a Cat6A shielded than a Cat6 patch cable. Would Cat6A work with a 1 gigabit adapter? Are the cables backwards compatible or should I just get the Cat6?
[23:11] <SetiAmon> I thought it would auto adjust the resolution for each display so nothing would be cut off

[23:12] <blakkheim> Izinucs: what do you mean name?
[23:12] <pac1> SetiAmon, why do you want them to be the same?  One in another room?
[23:12] <jcc1> Suncross: or Google, type in your card + distro + "sound problems"

[23:12] <Purpley1> pac1, nice I have a Acer 22' 1920x1000
[23:12] <Suncross> Jcc1: I am not sure if it is unique.  I have a thread up right now that I am checking back and forth.  I really do appreciate the suggestion though.  I just hope I dont make anyone angry, you know?

[23:13] <P1ease> how do you change between also, pulse, oss and others in 9.10
[23:13] <jcc1> Suncross: you won't, it's just that it's tough to TS here... have you checked all the logs for hins? syslog. messages, dmesg, etc?
