[21:30] <SteelPangolin> rockhopper: and budget
[21:30] <altin> SteelPangolin do u know  why ubuntu 10.10 doesnt boot from live CD at some computers, even in good ones ??
[21:30] <maxpower_> why? what is the lightest virtualization?
[21:30] <Jordan_U> codydbgt: You are on an irc network, freenode, which contains many support channels. Currently you are in the #ubuntu channel on freenode, if you type "/join ##windows" you will join the windows support channel on freenode.
[21:30] <rockhopper> SteelPangolin, I'm thinking of running it on a dedicated atom processor based computer.
[21:30] <maxpower_> I had a few problems with 10.10 install/live CD as well
[21:30] <SteelPangolin> maxpower_: it's a matter of processor features
[21:30] <rusty149> rockhopper: I use vmware. It is excellent
[21:30] <codydbgt> ok let me try
[21:30] <Psuedoreality> all your base are belong to us.
[21:31] <Jordan_U> !ot | Psuedoreality
[21:31] <SteelPangolin> rockhopper: i don't think Atoms come with Intel's virtualization extensions, so you're going to notice major slowdowns. I might be wrong about this on pine trail but I think Intel likes to keep Atom segmented into the consumer market, so no VT-x
[21:31] <maxpower_> oh, ok. thanks..I thought that maybe there were some virtualization that sucks more cycles than necessary
[21:31] <Aquarina> hi
[21:32] <cjc> I need guidance on how to bridge my wireless and ethernet interfaces please
[21:32] <katselphrime> hi sup
[21:32] <Aquarina> anyone has an eeepc t101mt?
[21:32] <rockhopper> SteelPangolin, Yes atom doesn't come with any special virtualization extensions
[21:32] <SteelPangolin> maxpower_: there sure are, but the difference between virtualization and emulation is more important to speed, usually
[21:32] <Aquarina> one of those with a rotating touch screen?
[21:32] <marks256> i know nothing about multiple video cards. Basically i want to go quad screen, do i need SLI, or can i just have two video cards?
[21:32] <guntbert> !crosspost | cjc
[21:32] <rockhopper> SteelPangolin, Which software takes up lesser resources?
[21:33] <zkriesse_> !anyone | Aquarina
[21:33] <maxpower_> thanks SteelPangolin: I do not have any experience with virtualization and linux
[21:33] <Aquarina> lol, ok
[21:33] <klooluss> hi. I'm having trouble with the ubuntu encrypted directory. if I run "ecryptfs-setup-private" then it tells me .Private is already mounted. How can I set up a new encrypted directory?
[21:33] <SteelPangolin> rockhopper: you might want to reconsider your plan, but i believe virtualbox can run without VT-x or the AMD equivalent
[21:34] <SteelPangolin> been a while since i used it though so check the VirtualBox FAQ first
[21:34] <Aquarina> does ubuntu work ok with an eeepc t101mt?
[21:34] <rockhopper> SteelPangolin, thanks.
[21:34] <klooluss> I'm using Lucis 64bit BTW
[21:34] <rockhopper> Aquarina, yes it will
[21:34] <SteelPangolin> rockhopper: VMware Server can run without VT-x as well - if they still have a free Linux versio you might want to look into that
[21:34] <rockhopper> SteelPangolin, ok
[21:35] <SteelPangolin> rockhopper: oh, and if this is for a machine not yet built, you might want to look at other processor vendors that do have virt extensions in the low end - AMD and possibly VIA
[21:35] <codydbgt> jordan_u: you dont know how to fix it at all
[21:35] <gkffcks> Hey all, how do I get simple scan to detect my scanner under a different user? My accout works, I set up another account and that account cannot use tha scanner for some reason!
[21:35] <Aquarina> rockhopper, everything?... even the touchscreen with rotation?
[21:36] <rockhopper> Aquarina, I don't know about the touchscreen
[21:36] <codydbgt> jordan_u: i could use any thing that would help
[21:36] <_jesse_> hi all, I'm having an issue with xrandr: http://pastebin.com/TuCjbR7R
[21:36] <codydbgt> jordan_u: the windows irc isn't very helpfule
[21:36] <cjc> I need guidance on how to bridge my wireless and ethernet interfaces please
[21:36] <codydbgt> any others
[21:36] <ikonia> cjc: you're already asking in #ubuntu-server
[21:36] <SteelPangolin> ehcah: looking at it now... i can't think of anything immediately obvious, but if it's a single user system you could probably mount the drive with permissions disabled or limited to your user
[21:37] <SteelPangolin> ehcah: safely
[21:37] <johnb> is there Abit MB drivers for the USB in linux
[21:37] <cjc> now I'm not
[21:37] <Aquarina> rockhopper, what are the issues?
[21:37] <SteelPangolin> ehcah: sorry, you might want to ask someone else, or poke around the Tuxera docs for a bit
[21:37] <Aquarina> is there a site dedicated to ubuntu and eeepcs?
[21:38] <michiwend> i can┬┤t start sysfsutils after standby only after rebooting my laptop, error http://pastebin.com/NFf4NsqW. i use it to configure my trackpoint (thinkpad t510), need help
[21:38] <gkffcks> _jesse_ the -s option to xrandr takes the number of the option you want, so for example 1024x768 is option one, so try xrandr -s 1
[21:38] <vdubhack> I am not having luck with rsync does anyone know how to to sync a folder and all contents including files that begin with . The folder is GumWorld exsists on both the local and remote and I want to verify local is the same as remote?
[21:38] <SteelPangolin> vdubhack: what's the exact command line you're using?
[21:39] <hobomo> Jordan_U: i tried your command with xterm and tried it with gnome-terminal but it isnt working the way i would like in either
[21:39] <cjc> Is it possible to bridge network connections as in Windows for Internet connection sharing?
[21:39] <X-Sleepy-X> I need some help with the time settings in Ubuntu 10.04. I've installed the i386 desktop version and I've set the time to be adjusted with ntp but for some reason the time doesn't update so the clock gets wrong.
[21:39] <ikonia> !isc > cjc
[21:39] <ikonia> !ics > cjc
[21:39] <_jesse_> gkffcks: I did try that, note the second command
[21:39] <vdubhack> rsync -v -e ssh username@remotehost:~/GumWorld ~/GumWorld
[21:40] <SteelPangolin> vdubhack: also rsync with the -n option will do a dry run and tell you which files would have been transferred or updated or deleted without actually changing anything
[21:40] <Jordan_U> hobomo: What is happening and what would you like to happen instead?
[21:40] <_jesse_> gkffcks: I try -s 0 and it says there are 0 sizes
[21:40] <SteelPangolin> vdubhack: you need the -r option to do recursive sync, or the -a option (which includes -r) to do the same preserving permissions
[21:40] <SteelPangolin> vdubhack: and modification dates, etc.
[21:41] <hobomo> i originally had this working in gnome-terminal using the following command -> gnome-terminal --tab -t gameServer1.py -e "python /media/F5B6-D9E4/pythongame/newapp/gameServer1.py & sleep 1" --tab -t newclient.py -e "python /media/F5B6-D9E4/pythongame/newapp/newclient.py"
[21:41] <vdubhack> @SteelPangolin and that wont delete any files correct?
[21:41] <Leemp> How would i launch a terminal with a different shell? Ie, i want terminal to open with zsh automatically, how would this be done?
[21:41] <hobomo> Jordan_U: im just looking for a way to emulate that command in xterm (ie without tabs)
[21:41] <SteelPangolin> vdubhack: as long as you have the -n option, rsync will not delete anything. Actually, I'm not sure it can delete anything without the --delete flag normally
[21:41] <ikonia> Leemp: change the users default shell to be zsh
[21:42] <gkffcks> _jesse_: did you try -s 1?
[21:42] <Leemp> ikonia: How?
[21:42] <SteelPangolin> vdubhack: but check the docs, http://rsync.samba.org/
[21:42] <ikonia> Leemp: users and groups, change the users default shell in that
[21:42] <Leemp> Well i figured out one way just now, i can simply create an icon to open zsh in terminal
[21:42] <Leemp> ikonia: Thanks
[21:42] <etheretic1> Is there a program which compares the contents of several harddisks making duplicate and triplicate files known? Preferably gui.
[21:43] <luca> hi all - how do I automount my NTFS drive? thanks
[21:43] <fwaokda> Whats the shortcut to switch between virtual desktops?
[21:43] <ikonia> !awat > rockhopper
[21:43] <ikonia> !away > rockhopper
[21:43] <_jesse_> gkffjcs: indeed, same error
[21:43] <Leemp> ikonia: Do i need to restart the desktop after a change like that? Because it didn't seem to work
[21:43] <rockhopper> ikonia, what?
[21:43] <ikonia> rockhopper: check the pm from ubottu
[21:43] <ikonia> Leemp: errrr, you shouldn't need to no
[21:43] <vdubhack> @SteelPangolin ok thanks a bunch so just so I am clear -v -e -a -n blabla will check the remote folder and sync the local to it as a dry run ?
[21:44] <hobomo> Jordan_U: with this command it opens the first tab and executes the script, waits a second, then opens the second tab and executes the second script
[21:44] <rockhopper> ikonia, sorry, i'm on a bouncer and i got disconencted. It changes its name automatically.
[21:45] <zorbix> Hello. My wifi is protected by a password. I experience frequent power outages so each time the router powers up again Ubuntu doesn't connect to the network but instead shows the enter password window. How do I automate this so that my downloads aren't interrupted when I am not at the computer?
[21:45] <mubtasim> Can anyone tell me how can i install wubi cause when ever i want to try it always says eror no metalink of c:\windows\temp\wubi-10.04.1-rev190.log and no iso how can i use ubuntu without burning cd-dvd or floppy?
[21:46] <SteelPangolin> Dulak: tuxpaint is ... um, how do i say this politely ... insufficient to requirements. Know of anything closer to PhotoShop LE (Lite, Consumer Edition, whatever they're calling it now), Paint Shop Pro, or Paint.NET, and less intended for children?
[21:47] <Dulak> SteelPangolin: the gimp, inkscape, pinta
[21:47] <_jesse_> gkffjcs: any other suggestions? :/
[21:47] <Dulak> SteelPangolin: I suggest you google
[21:47] <etheretic1> SteelPangolin: gimp, xara.
[21:47] <SteelPangolin> Dulak: already got inkscape, that's a vector editor, but thanks. I'll look into pinta and xara.,
[21:47] <SteelPangolin> and hit google if i can't find anything
[21:48] <trism> SteelPangolin: mypaint
[21:48] <miststlkr> changing the label n an ext4 partition using gparted I get the warning that this may cause data loss.  "may cause" as in once ever and we are covering our rumps, or am I better off just leaving the label as is?
[21:48] <etheretic1> SteelPangolin: xara is vector, gimp bitmap.
[21:48] <pigdude> how do I make my home directory my desktop on ubuntu?
[21:48] <pigdude> isn't it a gconf-editor thing?
[21:49] <zorbix> Anybody?
[21:49] <blakkheim> pigdude: rm -r ~/Desktop; ln -s /home/yourusername /home/yourusername/Desktop
[21:49] <pigdude> blakkheim, no there is a way to specify it
[21:49] <SteelPangolin> etheretic1: i'm trying to avoid the GIMP, or at least get something like Seashell on MacOS, which is the GIMP with an improved UI. Pinta might be exactly what I'm looking for.
[21:49] <SteelPangolin> if it works...
[21:50] <khalidmian> i can only run ubuntu in failsafe mode can anyone help?

[21:51] <demlasjr> guys.....can somebody ask me ?
[21:52] <bobbi> hi, i have screen flickering on every virtual console, and unable to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst, which fixed the problem in 9.04. anyone?
[21:52] <cjc> ikonia: I think all I need to do is to enable packet forwarding across two network interfaces (ath0 and eth0)?
[21:52] <Slipknot6669> Can anyone give me some help with ATI drivers not functioning properly in Ubuntu 10.10
[21:52] <hobomo> Jordan_U: nevermind, getting rid of the "sleep 1" seems to fix things. not sure why that was causing a problem.
[21:52] <ikonia> cjc: ubottu sent you a guide
[21:53] <zorbix> Slipknott6669: What exactly is the problem with the driver?
[21:53] <Slipknot6669> Not sure.
[21:53] <zorbix> Did you install it using the Additional Drivers utility?
[21:54] <Slipknot6669> I upgraded to 10.10 and the driver download didnt come up. So I got it with the Software Center and it says "Driver not functioning properly."
[21:54] <zorbix> Have you tried opening up the Additional Drivers utility?
[21:54] <Slipknot6669> Yes
[21:54] <Slipknot6669> got it both ways and still nothing
[21:55] <zorbix> Try removing the driver and then reinstalling it
[21:55] <chrissharp123> khalidmian: what happens when you run Ubuntu normally?
[21:55] <Slipknot6669> Ok let me do that real quick.
[21:55] <cjc> ikonia: yes I have read them
[21:55] <ikonia> cjc: ok, so that explains what to do
[21:56] <chocobanana> pigdude: don't know the underpinning for what you're asking but Ubuntu Tweak can do that for you
[21:56] <Slipknot6669> Should I do a reboot before reinstalling or no?
[21:56] <_LibertyZero> pigdude: gconftool -t bool -s /apps/nautilus/preferences/desktop_is_home_dir true
[21:57] <pigdude> _LibertyZero, oh right it's in nautilus
[21:57] <pigdude> _LibertyZero, thanks!
[21:57] <zorbix> Not sure
[21:58] <Slipknot6669> I go ahead and do it. It couldnt hurt. I wouldnt think anyway.
[21:58] <cjc> ikonia: no I think my situation is different the computer I want to do it on is not the gateway
[21:58] <Administrador> Hi
[21:58] <zorbix> Alright. GO on.
[21:58] <Administrador> Can someone help me
[21:58] <Administrador> please
[21:58] <pigdude> thanks! worked
[21:58] <ikonia> cjc: then you need to do multiple forwards, the technique is the same
[21:58] <cjc> ikonia: my home router is the gateway
[21:58] <pigdude> had to log out and back in

[21:59] <Administrador> ok obottu, thank you!.
[22:00] <MrKeuner> do I want maverick or should I wait April, assuming April versions are more stable...
[22:01] <pigdude> MrKeuner, I had big issues w/ Maverick
[22:01] <MrKeuner> pigdude, hardware/
[22:01] <MrKeuner> pigdude, hardware?
[22:02] <Oer> no issues here :-)
[22:02] <pigdude> MrKeuner, weird choppy peformance
[22:02] <xangua> MrKeuner: if you want stability use LTS
[22:02] <pigdude> debian lenny is working great here
[22:02] <pigdude> the wifi was just a make make install reboot
[22:02] <MrKeuner> xangua, you mean wait for 1.5 years more or just till April?
[22:02] <cjc> ikonia: which part of the guide are you referring to please?
[22:02] <ehcah> SteelPangolin: Had to step out and picked up one of the kids. Can you think of any reason why I should create that partition in NTFS at all?
[22:02] <pigdude> for once i'm not using kde
[22:02] <xangua> MrKeuner: lucid is LTS...
[22:02] <pigdude> I don't like kde 4 and I know it's everywhere now
[22:02] <ehcah> SteelPangolin: Couldn't virtual OS's sit on any folder type?
[22:03] <SteelPangolin> ehcah: unless you're booting from raw partitions, no. I'd format as extN and use hard drive files.
[22:03] <Slipknot6669> Ok this is weird. I uninstalled and rebooted. When I went to reinstall. It says that the driver is activated and currently in use, but doesnt show the Catalyst Center in System/Preferences. Where it should be.
[22:03] <MrKeuner> LTS is the most stable but but April releases are more stable than October releases, right?
[22:03] <Skaperen> so will zippy zebra be LTS?
[22:03] <MKM> hi.., why do we use reflective architectural pattern..??
[22:04] <ehcah> SteelPangolin: I'm not sure why it took a drive to figure that one out. I was thinking of the format Windows OS's require as standalone and not in VOS.
[22:04] <george> hey my autorun doesn't work . how can i make it work
[22:04] <aleixosk> hi everybody, I have  pci card which isn't working. It's there; the output of lspci is alright, but t's just not being used... iwconfig doesn't show it. I don't really know what to do now.
[22:04] <khalidmian> i can only run ubuntu in failsafe mode despite installing the driver for my nvidia card, can anyone pls assist/help?
[22:04] <Administrador> I've installed ubuntu 10.04.1, but I can not connect to internet.I have XP on another partition so XP can connect automatically.Before I install Ubuntu 10.04.1 I had  Ubuntu 9.04 and this could connect to internet automatically.I've created a new connection and I've  configured like connection in XP so it does not solve the problem...I'm almost crazy!...Someone can help me or kows what do ia have to do please
[22:04] <zorbix> Even the Additional Drivers utility says that the driver is activated?
[22:05] <aleixosk>  It was working until two hours ago and then it wouldn't connect to my home network (that happens. sometimes. broadcom.) So I took it out an put it back where it was, and now this happens...
[22:05] <cjc> do I have to use IP tables to get packets to forward across network interfaces?
[22:05] <Slipknot6669> Yes.
[22:05] <SteelPangolin> ehcah: what virt software are you using?
[22:05] <Slipknot6669> Thats what I used this time.
[22:05] <zorbix> Are you able to enable Desktop Effects?
[22:05] <kad_> heys guys, quick question: i have unbuntu 10.04 and i want to install now 10.10 , before i was making a split structure : /home is not part of "/" during install, when i install ubuntu 1010 now, Does my /home affect? thx
[22:05] <george> i recently installed macubuntu now my autorun doesn't work
[22:05] <Slipknot6669> Not sure how to. Just been using Linux a few days now.
[22:05] <oskar-> cjc:  no, just enable forwarding and let the FORWARD chain's policy allow packets to cross
[22:06] <ehcah> SteelPangolin: Oracle Virtual Box with USB support.
[22:06] <MKM> hi.., why do we use reflective architectural pattern..??
[22:06] <MKM> hi.., why do we use reflective architectural pattern..??
[22:06] <SteelPangolin> ehcah: VirtualBox should support disk images. Everything else does.
[22:06] <khalidmian> i am currently getting this error : you do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.  Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.
[22:06] <zorbix> Right click on the dekstop, change desktop properties,  then go to the Visual Effects tab
[22:06] <MKM> ubottu :hi.., why do we use reflective architectural pattern..??
[22:07] <zorbix> Select 'Normal' from the Visual Effects tab and see what happens
[22:07] <chrissharp123> khalidmian: so what happens when you do 'nvidia-xconfig'?
[22:07] <ehcah> SteelPangolin: In my past install's, I've never moved the virtual disk out of the the system drive defaults.... Hence why I should have been smarter about this one....
[22:07] <Slipknot6669> They are working.
[22:07] <cjc> oskar-: would that be achieved through an ifconfig command?
[22:07] <Slipknot6669> That is kewl btw!!!
[22:08] <zorbix> Then I guess your driver is working fine
[22:08] <Administrador> can i put the same question
[22:08] <Slipknot6669> Works for me.
[22:08] <Administrador> ?
[22:08] <zorbix> The ATI Catalyst Control Center should be under System>Preferences
[22:08] <Slipknot6669> Thanks, zorbix, for the input!!
[22:09] <Slipknot6669> Yeah I know, but its not
[22:09] <zorbix> I just got my ATI drivers installed today :)
[22:09] <oskar-> cjc:  afaik, you should set "net.ipv4.ip_forward" to 1 in /etc/sysctl.conf and load the file's settings by "sysctl -p"
[22:09] <Slipknot6669> Ill try another reboot, and see what happens.

[22:13] <sandy123> OH HAI!
[22:13] <Slipknot6669> So I rebooted and graphics still seem to be working properly, but still no Catalyst in System>Preferences.
[22:13] <Jordan_U> gnuskool: There are always many people seeding all of the official Ubuntu torrents. If it doesn't appear so to you it's likely a problem with your client / connection.
[22:14] <Jordan_U> gnuskool: Or maybe the tracker being down.
[22:14] <gnuskool> Jordan_U: true, iam using the bitlet.org virtual client

[22:16] <oskar-> cjc:  if you want to do bridging instead of routing between the interfaces, you also want to create a virtual bridge device and add the interfaces to it. IP configuration would then be done on the virtual bridge device
[22:16] <Slipknot6669> Thanks ubottu. Ill check that out. Does it convert as well or just burn?
[22:16] <kz6090> it converts
[22:17] <Slipknot6669> Cool.

[22:20] <ddilinger> Administrador: whats your native language?  there might be a channel we can direct you to that can communicate more directly
[22:21] <blakkheim> ddilinger: that was pretty funny
[22:21] <ddilinger> blakkheim: oracle would never think of taking your money to suport OO, i'm sure :P
[22:21] <jambolao> zmto legal
[22:21] <Administrador> ddilinger, ikonia, ok, I've installed Ubuntu 10.04.1 so this version cannot connect to internet, I tried configuring like xp, with the same ip, subnet mak,etc but it does not solve the problem, so I don't know what to do
[22:22] <erUSUL> cozziemoto: can you show the lines you added to /etc/securitly/limits.conf ? maybe there is syntax error?
[22:22] <cozziemoto> erUSUL,  sure hold on
[22:23] <ddilinger> Administrador: if you 'sudo /sbin/ifconfig' does it list your address?
[22:23] <cryptodira> anyone have a solution for keeping the backlit keyboard operational beyond the initial boot-up.... changing bios settings has not effect once the splash page shows up.... toshiba satellite, amd64 components.. minor for most folks, but i live off-grid and am trying to be frugal with my energy use.... Thanks.
[22:23] <ikonia> Administrador: ok - first of all, the version of ubuntu isn't the problem here
[22:23] <ikonia> Administrador: what is the ip address you where using on XP
[22:24] <Administrador> ikonia, IP in xp : <IP_ADDRESS>
[22:24] <jiohdi> is there a way to change the splash page on 10.10
[22:24] <prusik> Jordan_U, http://paste.ubuntu.com/515244/
[22:24] <ikonia> Administrador: do you give that IP, or does dhcp give it for you
[22:24] <aleixosk> hi everybody, I have  pci card which isn't working. It's there; the output of lspci is alright, but t's just not being used... iwconfig doesn't show it. I don't really know what to do now.
[22:24] <Slipknot6669> One more thing. Is there anyway to delay or completely shut off the way the pc goes to sleep after five min or so?
[22:24] <aleixosk> It was working until two hours ago and then it wouldn't connect to my home network (that happens. sometimes. broadcom.) So I took it out an put it back where it was, and now this happens...
[22:25] <aleixosk> anybody?
[22:25] <hblount> Hi.I am installing lubuntu from cd on my old laptop. Right now it is a black screen that says loading...like 15 min like this.is this normal?
[22:25] <cozziemoto> erUSUL,   here you go   http://pastebin.com/3H4Drg1F
[22:25] <ddilinger> Slipknot6669: use the at command
[22:25] <cjc> prusik: was your Ubuntu installation working fine before?
[22:25] <Administrador> ikonia, really I dont know, but with command ipconfig /all in xp i get : DHCP Enabled : No
[22:25] <ddilinger> Slipknot6669: at 5pm shutdown -h now or some such
[22:25] <khalidmian> getting the following error : You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.  Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.
[22:25] <ikonia> Administrador: very interesting, is this a desktop or a laptop ?
[22:26] <Slipknot6669> Im a newbie. What exactly is the at command?
[22:26] <prusik> yeah, no problems... - and I don't know what I've done especially before - may be kernel update - this I'm not quite sure
[22:26] <daire> I prefer to customize and create an icon theme what program do I need?
[22:26] <ddilinger> Slipknot6669: open a terminal type 'man at'
[22:26] <mhl> Hi there. Is there a way to execute a script whenever I put my laptop to sleep?
[22:26] <ddilinger> Slipknot6669: man stands for manual page, that will get you the manual for the at command
[22:26] <Slipknot6669> Nice. Thank you.
[22:26] <hblount> Hi.I am installing lubuntu from cd on my old laptop. Right now it is a black screen that says loading...like 15 min like this.is this normal?
[22:27] <jiohdi> khalidmian: was it working before?
[22:27] <khalidmian> jiohdi: no
[22:27] <jiohdi> khalidmian: did you down load the drivers for it?
[22:27] <Administrador> ikonia, desktop and the network card is a realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet
[22:27] <cjc> how do I check my DNS server IP address from within Ubuntu
[22:27]  * ddilinger lols, the at command also takes 'teatime' as a valid time of day
[22:27] <erUSUL> cjc: cat /etc/resolv.conf
[22:27] <ikonia> cjc: look in /etc/resolc.conf
[22:27] <ikonia> ddilinger: please give the /me commands a reset
[22:27] <ikonia> rest
[22:28] <khalidmian> jiohdi: just installed ubuntu newbie here trying to figure out how to run ubuntu on laptop other then failsafe mode
[22:28] <Jordan_U> prusik: That is some very odd output. Are you using FakeRAID or anything else unusual?
[22:28] <ikonia> Administrador: open system->administrator->hardware drivers, is your network card listed in that tool ?
[22:28] <jiohdi> khalidmian: there is usually an indicator by the rest of the indicators for new hardware
[22:28] <ddilinger> ikonia: so i scroll back and i can only find a single usage, the problem?
[22:28] <khalidmian> jiohdi: used system/admin /additional software
[22:28] <erUSUL> cozziemoto: are you sure it takes unlimited as arg? i think you have to put 0 to mean unlimitted
[22:28] <oskar-> SteelPangolin:  this is, what the bridge driver does
[22:28] <ikonia> ddilinger: when it's pointless noise, yes
[22:29] <jiohdi> khalidmian: this should show up as a hardware issue
[22:29] <Administrador> ikonia, in ubuntu the list apperas empty
[22:29] <prusik> Jordan_U, no, it was a Win Vista machine, but I completely formatted it long time ago - and it worked without problems... - I do not know what I did special before the error occured - I am not sure if it's a hardware defect?
[22:29] <cozziemoto> erUSUL, well those entries were offered on the #ardour channel   so ... no  .. I am not sure at all ..everything I have tried has changed nothing
[22:29] <ddilinger> ikonia: i am helping someone with the 'at' command, and while reading the at command manual page i come across potentially usefull information, sharing information on default installed ubuntu programs is only noise ?
[22:29] <Administrador> ikonia, in ubuntu the list appears empty
[22:29] <daire_> any person prefer to assist me in creating an icon theme for ubuntu 9.10...I prefer to create a logo and put it in place of the applications logo at the top left of the screen
[22:29] <khalidmian> jiohdi: new so i need assist on resolution if any
[22:29] <ikonia> ddilinger: no, pontless /me commands are just noise, please give them a rest
[22:29] <jiohdi> khalidmian: it will not work until you get the new hardware/software
[22:30] <ikonia> Administrador: ok, so in theory your card seemst to be nativly supported
[22:30] <cozziemoto> erUSUL,  and this is the first ubuntu version that spits out the low max memory  for recording
[22:30] <Jordan_U> prusik: Were you dual booting Ubuntu and windows?
[22:30] <erUSUL> cozziemoto: this is what quick google gived me ┬½ @audio       -       memlock          0
[22:30] <cozziemoto> erUSUL,   ok I will try that now to see if it makes a difference...thanks

Thanks.
[22:30] <ddilinger> ikonia: shall have to agree to disagree
[22:30] <khalidmian> jiohdi: i already have nvidia card in my laptop
[22:30] <erUSUL> cozziemoto: no problem
[22:30] <suprengr> ikonia: got a minute ?
[22:30] <ikonia> ddilinger: no, it's not a discussion, I'm now telling you to not do it please
[22:30] <ikonia> suprengr: sure
[22:31] <jiohdi> khalidmian: yes, you need to find the right driver for it
[22:31] <prusik> Jordan_U, no... - only Ubuntu - I have problems believing that the partition should be NTFS - I'm not as stupid I think ;-)
[22:31] <suprengr> ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/515245/
[22:31] <ikonia> suprengr: ok, what am i looking at here ?
[22:31] <khalidmian> jiohdi: i installed as per ercommendation on additional driver install
[22:31] <greko> hello
[22:31] <hblount> Hi.I am installing lubuntu from cd on my old laptop. Right now it is a black screen that says loading...like 15 min like this.is this normal?
[22:32] <jiohdi> khalidmian: did you find an Nvidia settings icon in the admin listings?
[22:32] <mhl> Is there any way to execute a script whenever I put my laptop to sleep?
[22:32] <suprengr> ikonia: it is a known bug / degradation between 9.4 & 9.10
[22:32] <V-ille> gotta love this upstream bug http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/11089
[22:32] <khalidmian> jiohdi: sorry you lost me there
[22:32] <ikonia> suprengr: ok
[22:32] <ikonia> V-ille: please don't post non-ubuntu stuff in here
[22:32] <Administrador> ikonia, in 9.04 connect to internet automatically, In another machine with the same hardware I've upgraded from 9.04 to 10.04 and I dis not have problems
[22:32] <ikonia> suprengr: how can I help?
[22:32] <suprengr> ikonia: ...and is the same in both 10.xx versions
[22:32] <jiohdi> khalidmian: system/admin/ should have nvidia
[22:32] <Travis-42> When backing up a computer with an Encrypted "~/Private" directory, what do I have to backup to make sure that I backup the encrypted version of the directory?
[22:32] <ikonia> suprengr: ok, again, how can I help ?
[22:32] <ddilinger> ikonia: i still have to agree to disagree, i re-reviewed the channel guidlines as posted in the topic and your position has no basis there
[22:32] <SharpTeeth> hello
[22:32] <V-ille> ikonia: the bug is present on my ubuntu as well
[22:32] <ilovefairuz> khalidmian: system > administration > hardware drivers.. is your card listed there? enable it
[22:32] <khalidmian> jiohdi: yes it did
[22:33] <ikonia> V-ille: it's an upstream bug, not an ubuntu bug
[22:33] <jiohdi> khalidmian: does it come up/
[22:33] <cozziemoto> erUSUL,  well  I rebooted with that 0 entry and still at   64  with ulimit -l
[22:33] <cozziemoto> erUSUL,   i will keep  googling :)  thanks again
[22:33] <prusik> Jordan_U, yesterday I tried to do what is called on lines 48 -50 - but the windows installer told me, that there is no hard drive and stopped
[22:33] <khalidmian> jiohdi: it now states the following: the driver is activated and currently in use
[22:33] <cryptodira> perhaps a better approach.... what component of ubuntu 10.04 / 64 bit, is causing the death of the keyboard backlight at the splash page?
[22:33] <SharpTeeth> how can i make Python 2.7 (installed just now on Ubuntu 10.10) as my default Python interpreter?
[22:33] <Jordan_U> prusik: As you can see, for some reason you have a partition table showing no linux partitions, and at least one windows ntfs partition *with windows files on it*.
[22:33] <ikonia> ddilinger: if you want to argue it - join #ubuntu-ops and take it up with the channel operators, if you don't, please don't do it again
[22:33] <jiohdi> khalidmian: you should be good to go
[22:33] <LuisCarlos> Hi. I can not install 10.10 Netbook in my Asus EEE 1002HA. I've installed many linux (ubuntu included) in this netbook, but htis verion get stucked
[22:33] <erUSUL> cozziemoto: are you sure you belong to the audio group ?
[22:34] <ilovefairuz> khalidmian: paste the output of: sudo lshw -C display .. use http://paste.ubuntu.com
[22:34] <LuisCarlos> I chose Install and it does not do anything else
[22:34] <khalidmian> jiohdi: apprently not because i can only run ubuntu under failsfe mode
[22:34] <suprengr> ikonia: just getting you thew bug number
[22:34] <jiohdi> khalidmian: did you try to reboot?
[22:34] <prusik> Jordan_U, I know that there is a media center on the hard drive - may be it is this one? - this could start, but told me that the hard drive couldn't be read for searching music
[22:34] <ikonia> suprengr: I can't fix the bug
[22:34] <LuisCarlos> In fact, I'm now using it, live version running from an USB
[22:34] <ikonia> suprengr: put a comment on the bug if you want to progress it
[22:34] <basix-> is there a sort of media center program for ubuntu similar to windows media center?
[22:34] <SharpTeeth> how can i make Python 2.7 (installed just now on Ubuntu 10.10) as my default Python interpreter?
[22:34] <erUSUL> cozziemoto: also login out and login in is all you need for the changes to apply
[22:35] <Jordan_U> prusik: So you were dual booting, or at least had both Ubuntu and windows installed even if you were only using Ubuntu.
[22:35] <kz6090> basix: banshee is cool
[22:35] <roguer3x> yo..
[22:35] <roguer3x> possible to get some help here?
[22:35] <SteelPangolin> basix-: XBMC. Not just for cracked Xbox 1 systems any more.
[22:35] <basix-> banshee media player?
[22:35] <basix-> thx
[22:35] <Administrador> ikonia, in 9.04 connect to internet automatically, In another machine with the same hardware I've upgraded from 9.04 to 10.04 and I did not have problems
[22:35] <kz6090> yes, banshee. yw
[22:35] <cozziemoto> erUSUL,   ok  well the reboot should have worked  but i will check other things as well./... it is not super important right now but will be later so  if I get stuck again I will ask again :)
[22:35] <roguer3x> yo...possible to get some help here?
[22:35] <suprengr> ikonia: i was thinking of Administrador
[22:35] <prusik> Jordan_U, okey, I do not know how this media center worked - wasn't loadable via boot manager, but yeah, sorry for the false information...
[22:36] <erUSUL> cozziemoto: check the groups you are in
[22:36] <erUSUL> cozziemoto: run ┬½ id ┬╗ on a terminal
[22:36] <ikonia> suprengr: ahhh, cool, now it makes sense, thank you, the bug number would be helpful
[22:36] <ikonia> suprengr: I thought you where asking me for help with it
[22:36] <jonathan_> some theme I installed changed the login sound to some annoying violin thing.  How can I change it back or remove it altogether?
[22:36] <uLinux> does somebody know why I hear a glitch when starting ALSA sound??
[22:37] <Jordan_U> prusik: What happened between when it was working and now?
[22:37] <khalidmian> jiohdi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/515248/
[22:37] <mhl> Is there any way to execute a script whenever I put my laptop to sleep?
[22:37] <LongBow> Hello I have a question. My laptop doesn't want to start on 10.4. I am now running the laptop from the live cd for 10.10. Can I update the 10.4 or do I need a fresh install?
[22:37] <suprengr> ikonia: #492990 [under suprengr on llaunchpad ;)   ]
[22:37] <cozziemoto> erUSUL,  yeah that says i am on audio
[22:37] <erUSUL> :S
[22:37] <ikonia> suprengr: nice, thank you
[22:37] <dwarder> erUSUL: what does this smile means :S ?
[22:37] <roguer3x> meh, nvm, I'll go ask someone on a linux distro who actually can help..
[22:37] <dwarder> mean*
[22:38] <Jeruvy> LongBow: given the 10.04 is problematic, I'd do a fresh install.
[22:38] <bluefrog> LongBow, are your / and /home on separate partitions?
[22:38] <jiohdi> khalidmian: everything looks normal, but I am not expert
[22:38] <suprengr> ikonia: no probs, glad to help
[22:38] <LongBow> Jeruvy: let me check
[22:38] <prusik> Jordan_U, I think not to have done special beside surfing and skyping anything this ev'ning it happened - but for example it could have been a kernel update? or not shutting down correctly?
[22:38] <kermit> re rsync, why would i ever not use --append --append-verify?
[22:38] <LuisCarlos> Need help to install 10.10 Netbook version. When I try to install, it does not anything at all.
[22:39] <cryptodira> what component of ubuntu 10.04 / 64 bit, is causing the death of the keyboard backlight at the splash page?
[22:39] <hblount> Hi.I am installing lubuntu from cd on my old laptop. Right now it is a black screen that says loading...like 15 min like this.is this normal?
[22:39] <aerosolapple> does anyone know if it is possible to use a regular wireless adapter to act as a reciever for a wireless xbox 360 controller
[22:39] <khalidmian> jiohdi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/515249/
[22:39] <ikonia> hblount: no - it's not normal
[22:39] <kurt__> No, it's not.
[22:39] <Jordan_U> prusik: There's no way a kernel update or bad shutdown could have caused those changes to the partition table.
[22:39] <SteelPangolin> cryptodira: my guess would be that is where the OS ACPI takes over from BIOS or EFI ACPI
[22:39] <SharpTeeth> anyone, please say SharpTeeth so that i see if that line gets highlighted (just for test actually)
[22:40] <jonathan_> yo is it possible to run nautilus in the background at all times?  This is what OS X does with finder, and it makes for a much more responsive experience, a the expense of some memory
[22:40] <hblount> Ikonia: it shoul show menu soon after boot?
[22:40] <aerosolapple>  kurt__: No to me?
[22:40] <SteelPangolin> cryptodira: you may need some ACPI helper package specific to your machine
[22:40] <ikonia> hblount: yes
[22:40] <jiohdi> khalidmian: sorry, you have reached the limits of my understandings
[22:40] <hblount> Ikonia: k thanks
[22:40] <khalidmian> jiohdi: ty
[22:40] <cryptodira> SteelPngolin:  at last, a starting point,,,,, thank you.
[22:40] <prusik> Jordan_U, this configuration could never have worked? mhm - I really don't think that I did something special there
[22:40] <LongBow> Jeruvy: I don't think so. I remember I only made a swap drive and another. I can't remember what it was. I am not so experienced with Linux.
[22:41] <jiohdi> khalidmian: I am still a linux newbee myself... only using it since 9.4
[22:41] <Jordan_U> prusik: There is no way that you could have booted linux with that partition table.
[22:41] <Jeruvy> LongBow: then do a fresh install
[22:41] <kz6090> Jeruvy, how large should the / partition be anyway? Is 10GB enough for a home install?
[22:42] <khalidmian> http://paste.ubuntu.com/515250/ anyone help and asisst me with this please?
[22:42] <cryptodira> SteelPangolin: toshiba satellite series, all amd components with 64 bit ubuntu 10.04.... suggestions as to an appropriate package?
[22:42] <Dulak> kz6090: go 30g if you can afford it, then the rest on /home
[22:42] <LongBow> Jeruvy: Ok, thank you. I will start on that tomorrow. You have any advice on the partitioning?
[22:42] <SharpTeeth> anyone, please say SharpTeeth so that i see if that line gets highlighted (just for test actually)
[22:42] <prusik> Jordan_U, is it possible, that it happened while I tried to get into system recovery console of windows installer?
[22:42] <kz6090> ah, thanks
[22:42] <kz6090> i used 10gb & it's 58% full.
[22:42] <erUSUL> SharpTeeth: wasssup!!
[22:42] <Jeruvy> kz6090: 10gb should be enough, but as for /home, it can use as much space as you require.
[22:42] <SharpTeeth> it works!
[22:43] <SharpTeeth> thank you
[22:43] <prusik> Jordan_U, (as I was told to repair the ntfs system)
[22:43] <kz6090> Dulak, Jeruvy, thx. i was worried / may fill up.
[22:43] <ilovefairuz> SharpTeeth: you could delete /usr/bin/python and make one as link to your desired version
[22:43] <twinkie_addict> khalidmian,  do what it says run nvidia-xconfig
[22:43] <khalidmian> twinkie_addict: newbie pls guide
[22:43] <Administrador> superengr, is my problem a bug?
[22:43] <SharpTeeth> ilovefairuz: like how exactly?
[22:43] <trism> SharpTeeth: it is probably not a good idea to change the default version, it will likely break things (software-center, various configuration dialogs, etc)
[22:43] <LongBow> Jeruvy: I understand about 10GB for / and the rest for /home? How large should the swap be?
[22:44] <Jeruvy> LongBow: I prefer to manually partition, with a fresh install it can be a good way to familiarize yourself with the process, the installer will simply use the whole disk
[22:44] <tmkdesigner> Hello, i'd really appriciate some help with my keyboardlayout settings
[22:44] <twinkie_addict> open a terminal and type it
[22:44] <Jeruvy> LongBow: I'd not make it more than 2x memory. If you have a lot of ram (>4GB) you could even make it smaller
[22:44] <SteelPangolin> kz6090: for reference, i've got a 10.04 Netbook install with a bunch of Python dev packages installed, 3.5 GB
[22:44] <twinkie_addict> then restart x
[22:45] <ilovefairuz> SharpTeeth: sudo rm /usr/bin/python; sudo ln /usr/bin/python2.7 /usr/bin/python  # seems a hard link is needed
[22:45] <SharpTeeth> trism: i am aware of that and i am willing to accept the responsability... besides I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 in a VM
[22:45] <twinkie_addict> with sudo service gdm stop i believe
[22:45] <kz6090> SteelPangolin, ok good. i have no need of dev files, so i should be okay.
[22:45] <twinkie_addict> after that type startx
[22:45] <Jordan_U> prusik: Yes, though I can't see how any tool would have allowed that partition table to be created. It's not even a valid partition table, with overlapping partitions, logical partitions that aren't within their extended partition, and partitions ending past the last block of the drive.
[22:46] <LongBow> Jeruvy: I have an old laptop. I think it has 512MB to 1GB of RAM. I know that windows wants 1,5x RAM for swap. So 1.5 GB should be enough for swap?
[22:46] <SharpTeeth> ilovefairuz: thank you. i will do that
[22:46] <g00se> Just did fresh install of Win 7, then meerkat, but the box simply boots straight into Windows. Here's what the Win partition looks like - what gives? http://paste.ubuntu.com/515258/
[22:46] <Jordan_U> prusik: Maybe a partitioning tool was interrupted while it was writing, or maybe the hard drive is bad.
[22:46] <aerosolapple> I have a question about unistalling wine, i want to uninstall it completely because i think i messed up by running it as sudo
[22:46] <aerosolapple> so if i use sudo apt-get remove --purge wine*
[22:46] <prusik> Jordan_U, what is the best way to backup as many data as possible?
[22:46] <Burmoz> Hi, can someone help me? My Grub is working recursively. I can launch Ubuntu and Memtest without problem, but when I try to boot Windows 7 it just launches Grub again..
[22:47] <Sivarts> Hi guys I am trying to connect my LCD TV to my ubuntu box via an DVI -> HDMI cable. I have an Nvidia video card, it detects the TV as TV-0 but won't let me set resolution above 1024x768 and nothing shows up on the TV no matter what resolution -- just says "No Signal" I have tried using modelines etc. any tips?
[22:47] <aerosolapple> will that remove all the packages that are wine related?
[22:47] <aerosolapple> and the .conf files
[22:47] <SteelPangolin> aerosolapple: if apt-get supports wildcards, you'll have to wrap the wine* bit in doublequotes
[22:47] <Jordan_U> Burmoz: You accidentally installed grub to your windows partition.
[22:47] <SteelPangolin> aerosolapple: otherwise the shell will try to expand it
[22:47] <Administrador> ikonia, This does mean something? : No DHCPOFFERS received. No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.
[22:47] <Burmoz> Jordan: so how do I fix that?
[22:47] <ikonia> Administrador: it means your network is not serving dhcp
[22:47] <ilovefairuz> aerosolapple: yes it should work, and read http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-ddc6f242056eb1a4fe566c9434d15fd8b64606aa
[22:48] <SharpTeeth> ilovefairuz: what about dependencies?
[22:48] <aerosolapple>  SteelPangolin: ahh makes sense. im having a gui issue everytime i run SC2 i cant even login to battle.net
[22:48] <jay_> i have my home folder from 10. on a usb drive
[22:48] <ikonia> Administrador: open your network configuration tool and look at what your default gateway and dns servers are
[22:48] <jay_> whoops
[22:48] <SharpTeeth> ilovefairuz: what about dependencies if I just remove the directory python  ?
[22:48] <chris535> I just set my grub's graphics too high and plymouth can't boot. I'm hoping to avoid chrooting from a live cd for the fix.  Can Plymouth be forced into a 'text mode' during boot?
[22:48] <ilovefairuz> SharpTeeth: what directory?  /usr/bin/python is NOT a directory
[22:48] <SteelPangolin> aerosolapple: i'm surprised you can run SC2 on Wine at all...
[22:49] <SharpTeeth> ilovefairuz: what is it then?
[22:49] <Crusader888> ZOMG
[22:49] <jay_> home folder from 10.04 on a usb drive, uppgrade to 10.10 is buggered. Can I download 10.10 and install from a disk and use the 10.04 home folder?
[22:49] <tehgeekmeister> i just installed postgresql 8.4 on maverick meerkat and it didn't create the postgres user it should've, so i can't configure it (barring creating the user myself, which i'm not sure how to do correctly); what do i do?
[22:49] <ilovefairuz> SharpTeeth: type: file /usr/bin/python
[22:49] <Jordan_U> prusik: First try to use testdisk to detect what filesystems are actually on the disk and create a valid partition table. If the partition table is your only problem then you should be able to mount the partitions at that point and just copy the data over. If not, then you'll need to use photorec (which is in the same project as testdisk) to try to recover files.
[22:49] <khalidmian> i give up on ubuntu
[22:50] <kz6090> jay_ you can keep the home partition is that's what you mean.
[22:50] <erUSUL> khalidmian: farewell then
[22:50] <aerosolapple>  SteelPangolin;http://jeffhoogland.blogspot.com/2010/07/howto-starcraft-2-on-linux-with-wine.html
[22:50] <twinkie_addict> khalidmian,  why
[22:50] <khalidmian> btw is there such a thing as remote assistance in ubuntu
[22:50] <kz6090> else back up the home folder
[22:50] <Jeruvy> jay_: yes, do the fresh install, then copy over your /home folder.
[22:50] <lapitas> hello, iam using a xp connected to a dns bind server (ubuntu) and i only can connect to the internal address and not internet
[22:50] <khalidmian> twinkie_addict: i cant seem to run ubuntu other then in failsafe x
[22:50] <lapitas> some one can help me?
[22:50] <aerosolapple>  i get to the login screen but my pixels are messed up pretty well
[22:50] <codydbgt> ok iv got a problem
[22:50] <prusik> Jordan_U, this one: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk ?
[22:50] <SteelPangolin> aerosolapple: i heard from a guy in a postion to know that the SC2 non-game GUI is actually implemented in embedded Flash
[22:50] <ikonia> lapitas: check your bind access list and views config, as well as your XP routing
[22:50] <Jordan_U> Burmoz: First, we need to fix your grub-pc package configuration, then restore the windows bootloader.
[22:50] <codydbgt> win 7 isnt showing up in grub
[22:50] <jay_> well, 10.10, which is all I have now, is screwy. I'm thinking I will have to reinstall 10.04 clean and put my old home folder in, correct?
[22:51] <codydbgt> i cant figure out how to fix
[22:51] <LongBow> I want to re├»nstal Ubuntu. Is 10GB /, 1.5 GB swap and the rest /home enough
[22:51] <ilovefairuz> lapitas: what's the output of: ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[22:51] <codydbgt> this /bootmgr /boot/bcd
[22:51] <lanparty> hi everyone my sound card keep changing every time i boot can anyone tell me how to set it to default
[22:51] <Jordan_U> prusik: Yes. It is available in the Ubuntu repositories and can be installed in the liveCD environment.
[22:51] <twinkie_addict> you dont have a nvidia driver installed do this in termenal rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[22:51] <aerosolapple>  SteelPangolin: im still fairly new so i have no idea what that actually encompasses, i know just enough to get my self in trouble so far
[22:51] <twinkie_addict> then restart
[22:52] <Jordan_U> Burmoz: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[22:52] <ilovefairuz> !who | twinkie_addict
[22:52] <lapitas> ilovefairuz its ok! it can connect
[22:52] <Burmoz> 10.10
[22:52] <twinkie_addict> sorry
[22:52] <ilovefairuz> lapitas: ok next, what's the output of: dig google.com @<IP_ADDRESS>
[22:53] <khalidmian> ugggggggggggh why is it so difficult to configure video drivers and video issues in ubuntu
[22:53] <ilovefairuz> !paste | lapitas
[22:53] <twinkie_addict> khalidmian,  do this in termenal rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[22:53] <Jeruvy> LongBow: that would be fine.
[22:53] <twinkie_addict> then restart
[22:53] <lapitas> ilovefairuz do i do that in xp or ubuntu?
[22:53] <antIP> lanparty: What exactly do you mean? I probably wont be able to help you but I'm interested to know what you mean by "my sound card keeps changing"
[22:53] <lapitas> ilovefairuz in xp dig is not reconized
[22:53] <LongBow> Thank you Jeruvy :)
[22:53] <Jeruvy> LongBow: your welcome.
[22:53] <SteelPangolin> aerosolapple: means Wine's got to run an embedded Windows build of Flash as well as the DirectX game graphics
[22:53] <SteelPangolin> aerosolapple: that's likely to be problematic
[22:54] <antIP> khaldimian: What video card are you using?
[22:54] <twinkie_addict> khalidmian,  what nvidia card do you have ?
[22:54] <khalidmian> internal laptop gm200 something like that
[22:54] <aerosolapple>  SteelPangolin:hmmm that makes sense now, ive seen it done via video but havent got to play personally yet in ubuntu. should i get flash and install it under wine?
[22:55] <lapitas> ilovefairuz in ubuntu it works ok
[22:55] <SteelPangolin> aerosolapple: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=20882 here's the Wine compat profile, it's two SC2 patch versions out of date but it does suggest some Wine config tweaks
[22:55] <lapitas> ilovefairuz i can connect the internet @ ubuntu
[22:55] <twinkie_addict> khalidmian,  are back in regular x
[22:55] <aerosolapple>  SteelPangolin: Thank you so much ill tear through the links you gave me
[22:55] <SteelPangolin> aerosolapple: that probably won't help
[22:55] <Administrador> ikonia, I'm looking in router so DHCP does not  have data, hostname:empty,IP Adress:empty, all empty....but I have a default gateway and dns server...Can I put it here, is not risk?
[22:55] <twinkie_addict> are you
[22:56] <khalidmian> twinkie_addict: thats all greek to me
[22:56] <lanparty> antIP have audigy and usb easycall  and every time i boot up it,s set to easycall i want to set audigy as default
[22:56] <twinkie_addict> khalidmian,  can you see you desktop
[22:56] <tehgeekmeister> oh, perhaps the postgres user wasn't created because i neglected to install postgresql.  that would do it.
[22:56] <khalidmian> i guess i shall reinstall ubuntu and run it under failsafe x forever
[22:56] <coz_> erUSUL,   interesting...this is cozziemoto .. on the other machine  it was an upgrade from lucid to karmic and those settings worked well however.  on this clean install  it does not   and I used the same settings I had origianlly on that other machine
[22:56] <etherealite> How can i force aptitude to ignore a package with broken deps?
[22:57] <coz_> erUSUL,   also I tried setting user to audio group  apparenlty   not well
[22:57] <SteelPangolin> aerosolapple: also, you will need a monster machine to run SC2, especially with the Wine overhead. You have a newish graphics card with accelerated Linux drivers, yes?
[22:57] <batbout> hi
[22:57] <khalidmian> twinkie_addict: can i see what
[22:57] <Burmoz> Jordan_U, I use 10.10, I just installed it a few hours ago
[22:57] <aerosolapple> yeah im usin a amd hd 5xxx series card
[22:57] <erUSUL> coz_: :/ dunno; the settings are enforced via pam maybe tyou have tweaked conf in the upgraded system ? or use a weird auth system?
[22:57] <batbout> what does it mean usepam yes in the sshd_config file ?
[22:58] <coz_> erUSUL,  I dont think so ... but I will check again just to be sure
[22:58] <SteelPangolin> aerosolapple: yeah that'll do it.
[22:58] <coz_> erUSUL,  what is a quick way to add user to audio group?
[22:58] <twinkie_addict> khalidmian, did you do in a terminal rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[22:58] <aerosolapple>  awesome thanks ahain
[22:58] <aerosolapple> again*
[22:58] <erUSUL> coz_: sudo adduser $USER audio
[22:58] <twinkie_addict> khalidmian, if you did reboot youl be aout of failsafe
[22:58] <Jordan_U> Burmoz: Ok, then you shouldn't actually need to modify grub-pc package configuration. Just follow this guide to restore the windows PBR: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:Boot_Sector
[22:58] <antIP> lanparty: I hate to say I can't provide much help, but it's true. Here is a similar post on linuxquestions.org http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/gentoo-87/set-default-sound-card-796566/
[22:58] <Administrador> ikonia, But the way I ve run Xubuntu 10.10 and it cannot conect to internet like ubuntu 10.04.1
[22:58] <prusik> Jordan_U, what's the exact name of the package? sudo apt-get install testdisk tells me that "testdisk" can't be found
[22:59] <coz_> erUSUL,  ok thanks
[22:59] <antIP> lanparty: I'm sorry, I thought that was for ubuntu. It's not, my bad.
[22:59] <ilovefairuz> lapitas: on the ubuntu machine try: dig google.com @<IP_ADDRESS>
[22:59] <Burmoz> Jordan_U: Thanks, I will try that
[22:59] <khalidmian> twinkie_addict: when im out of failsafe all i get is the pink splash screen
[22:59] <Jordan_U> prusik: You have to enable universe (System > Administration > Software Sources).

[23:16] <andai> ilovefairuz*
[23:17] <erUSUL> andai: look in nautilus preferences

[23:18] <andai> h8train; ilovefairuz: I have neither of those menu options. Upgrade? :P

[23:19] <antIP> lanparty: So you found that config file? I would try finding some more info about editing it online.
[23:19] <techtronic> antIP: or john the ripper

[23:19] <andai> ilovefairuz: no file management suboption
[23:19] <ilovefairuz> andai: open your home directory, then Edit > Preferences
[23:19] <SteelPangolin> pr0ph3t: nah, pretty much the same, except a little more integrated with Ubuntu's package system. IIRC it goes like, install a package with the kernel source, unpack it, patch it, run make menuconfig or whatever, compile, then run an Ubuntu specific script to bundle the compiled kernel, initrd, etc. as a package, then install the package
[23:20] <Bawn> i have the lts release, how do i update that to 10.10

[23:21] <kira_> hi guys, today i have problem with.. printers - when i connect my printers->ubuntu searching for drivers and said that there are no drivers ;/ what to do now?
[23:21] <antIP> techtronic: I understand. I need to get around to doing that myself.
[23:21] <pr0ph3t> SteelPangolin, one thing I remember though, it used to take a long time, I was doing it with a pentium III 300Mhz of course
[23:21] <h8train> andai: you dont have a "removable drives and media" under preferences?
[23:22] <techtronic> antIP: they all behave the same way,
[23:22] <antIP> lanparty: Maybe someone else can help you. keep poking around and asking here and there. Remember that the ubuntu forums are great for this sort of thing.
[23:22] <Some_Person> ilovefairuz: http://paste.ubuntu.com/515271/
[23:22] <SteelPangolin> pr0ph3t: it's plenty fast on a Core2
[23:23] <Bawn> thanks people
[23:23] <SteelPangolin> pr0ph3t: i used to have to build most of the FreeBSD kernel and all of the userland apps about once a month on a Via C3 @ 933MHz and that only took four hours - the Linux kernel is much smaller
[23:23] <andai> all solved, thanks
[23:23] <ilovefairuz> Some_Person: buggy driver
[23:24] <Some_Person> ilovefairuz: Well, what can I do about it?
[23:24] <Blue1> will 10.10 ever support legacy nvidia drivers, like 10.04 did?
[23:24] <kira_> can someone halp with installing printers (when ubuntu said that he cant find driver )
[23:24] <antIP> techtronic - Sorry I can't help. Above my pay grade. It's an interesting issue though. I'd be interested in figuring it out myself.
[23:25] <techtronic> antIP: ok thanks anyway - best of luck with your paygrade
[23:25] <basix-> is there an install package for XBMC?
[23:25] <SteelPangolin> basix-: there is for Lucid, i think
[23:26] <basix-> gr
[23:26] <SteelPangolin> basix-: you might have to add Universe or Multiverse or some PPA
[23:26] <basix-> not 10.10? :(
[23:26] <basix-> i dunno how to
[23:26] <basix-> im trying to follow instructions
[23:26] <basix-> and i just give up
[23:26] <SteelPangolin> basix-: is that Maverick? The XBMC web site mentioned that they don't have a Maverick package yet
[23:26] <antIP> techtronic: Haha.
[23:26] <basix-> I believe so
[23:27] <kira_> where shuld  i ask or who - about printers drivers? o.o
[23:27] <SteelPangolin> basix-: you could try booting from their LiveCD version to see if it's what you're looking for before trying to build it yourself or something
[23:27] <Dulak> basix-: 10.04 if you want mythtv with xbmc frontend
[23:27] <Guest90525> hello, my user is "idk", just like i want it. But the name says "Administrator". how do i change my name? =) thanks
[23:28] <basix-> SteelPangolin, it's just an app right?
[23:28] <trism> techtronic: there are probably easier ways but: gnome-terminal -x bash -c 'command; read -p "Press enter to continue"'; will generally work, replacing command with the command you want to run
[23:28] <SteelPangolin> basix-: it's pretty heavyweight. It's an app, yes, and a whole bunch of plugins, support libs, AV codecs...
[23:29] <basix-> hehe
[23:29] <basix-> i noticed i already downloaded about 15 mins worth of plugins/etc
[23:29] <SteelPangolin> basix-: even a customized dynamic linker/loader, although I don't think the non-Xbox versions need it any more
[23:29] <antIP> techtronic: Just out of curiosity, have you tried using Shortcut Commands to start the programs?
[23:30] <Guest90525> how do i change short-name on my user? thanks
[23:30] <techtronic> antIP:  no
[23:30] <oryxtec> guys i m trying to install 1 application.... but i getting this error please can you check http://pastebin.com/fhe11WBv
[23:30] <basix-> SteelPangolin, i want a media center to connect to my main tv and be able to carry my entire library of dvd's and bd on a few hard drives
[23:30] <Some_Person> These frequent crashes are driving me nuts
[23:31] <basix-> xbmc is capable of it right?
[23:31] <SteelPangolin> basix-: yeah, i have a similar setup
[23:31] <Dulak> basix-: with a tvtuner and dvr or without?
[23:31] <techtronic> trism: ok but it still closes, when you press anything, i want it to lauch, show me options and then just wait for a new command, see what im getting at or am i talking jibberish
[23:31] <antIP> techtronic: I use ubuntutweak and they have an easy setup for Shortcut Commands. That might be even faster. Something like Shift + Alt + J starts Jack the Ripper.
[23:31] <basix-> Dulak, w/ out for now
[23:32] <basix-> Dulak, just want my entire movie collection available via media center on the big screen
[23:32] <Dulak> basix-: then just xbmc would be fine for that
[23:32] <ju> c
[23:32] <trism> techtronic: so replace the read command with bash
[23:32] <antIP> techtronic: of course, then you have to memorize your shortcuts...
[23:32] <basix-> k
[23:33] <oryxtec> guys any help on my issue plzzzz :D
[23:33] <oryxtec> http://pastebin.com/fhe11WBv
[23:33] <antIP> techtronics: you could also use Keyboard Shotcuts under System > Preferences to set those (I think)
[23:33] <antIP> techtronics: I use gnome-do for almost everything.
[23:34] <techtronic> brb, crashed my box for some reason,
[23:34] <etheretic3> Is there a program which compares the contents of several terabyte harddisks making duplicate and triplicate files known? Preferably gui.
[23:34] <prusik> Jordan_U, I just decided to first make an image of the hdd with dd_rescue - i hope this works out...
[23:34] <matthewg42> hi there.  Does anyone know if there is an existing command line tool to wait until a named process is complete and will then terminal.  I wrote a perl script to do this, but I was wondering if there was already a tool.  example usage:  pwait wget && vlc new.avi
[23:35] <ilovefairuz> Some_Person: are you sure you're running metacity and not compiz? pgrep metacity
[23:35] <SteelPangolin> basix-: http://mirrors.xbmc.org/releases/live/ if you want to easily evaluate it
[23:35] <ddilinger> matthewg42: something with a while statement,  while pidof something;do true;done maybee
[23:35] <basix-> ok, thanks SteelPangolin
[23:35] <SteelPangolin> basix-: those should have drivers for most of the hardware XBMC can talk to
[23:35] <ddilinger> matthewg42: dont use that code directly though, a small sleep is in order, maybee some redirection to cleanup pidof output, but the idea should work
[23:36] <erUSUL> etheretic3: fdupes ? i think there is a gui for it
[23:36] <matthewg42> ddlinger:  thanks.  Yeah I've done stuff like this many times in shell scripts - was just wondering if anyone else ever thought to make a tool for it to abbreviate their scripting.
[23:37] <ddilinger> matthewg42: shrug, could make it a shell function and have it imported
[23:38] <techtronic> trism: sorry can you reapeat your last comment
[23:39] <ddilinger> matthewg42: but generally, no i havn't heard of a standalone tool that does it.  Couldn't be that hard to strip down the pidof code and release a new tool though :)
[23:39] <etheretic3> erUSUL: may be - just synaptic'ed it. looks like cli, but i'll install and see.
[23:39] <trism> techtronic: instead try: gnome-terminal -x bash -c 'command; bash'; might be what you are looking for
[23:39] <root> hi all
[23:40] <root> hi !
[23:40] <erUSUL> !info flint
[23:40] <Guest7698> no one here ?
[23:40] <basix-> ahh i found out my problem
[23:40] <erUSUL> !info fslint
[23:40] <Guest7698> i'm new user for ubunto brothers
[23:40] <Guest7698> i use now (backtrack 4)
[23:40] <basix-> while adding the xbmc source to my repository, i had to edit it and change the distro from maverick to lucid
[23:40] <erUSUL> etheretic3: fslint does have gui...
[23:40] <iderik> Hello, is it possible to make a full format and install ubuntu without any external hdd? :/
[23:40] <erUSUL> etheretic3: http://www.pixelbeat.org/fslint/
[23:41] <matthewg42> ddilinger: well it's certainly easy to wrap it up in a tiny perl script.  The script I wrote uses pgrep and grabs all pids for a given name, and wait for them to terminate.  I should add options to filter bu UID and so on.
[23:41] <ilovefairuz> !backtrack > Guest7698
[23:41] <Guest7698> how ?
[23:41] <oryxtec> guys please help http://pastebin.com/fhe11WBv

[23:41] <fishcooker>  how to turn off the lid of laptop without closing it,, i want to save the energy
[23:41] <etheretic3> erUSUL: have 6 drives w 6tb data on them. haven't bee too careful w backup so there are triplicates.
[23:41] <matthewg42> ddilinger: I also wrote a much more flexiable fwait which watches files.  Checks for 0 size or non-existence or existence or permission change (what it waits for depends on command  line options).  I find it useful.
[23:42] <techtronic> trism: WORKS BRILLIANTLY! - THANKS :-D
[23:42] <oryxtec> http://pastebin.com/fhe11WBv
[23:42] <oryxtec> plz can some 1 have a look
[23:42] <trism> techtronic: you're welcome
[23:42] <Emin3nt> Hi Linux Lovers
[23:42] <matthewg42> ddilinger: thanks for the response - good to know there isn't a widely known existing command to do what I implemented.
[23:42] <ddilinger> matthewg42: i wonder if you could just use inotify on the /proc/pid directories, get notified as they delete themselves
[23:42] <matthewg42> oooh, inotify.
[23:42] <matthewg42> Is inotify linux only?
[23:43] <B4CkTr4CkEr> back
[23:43] <techtronic> antIP: did you see trism's solution?
[23:43] <B4CkTr4CkEr> who help me ?
[23:43] <SteelPangolin> with Netbook Remix 10's window manager, is there a way to maximize a window so that it hides everything else including the app switcher/systray bar at the top?
[23:43] <ddilinger> matthewg42: i think so
[23:43] <antIP> techtronic: No I didn't
[23:43] <ilovefairuz> oryxtec: it's an encoded file, check http://eaccelerator.net/
[23:43] <ddilinger> matthewg42: its not posix, thats for sure :)
[23:43] <matthewg42> ddilinger: ah, there's the rub - I want my script to be portable to solaris and hpux and bsd.
[23:43] <antIP> techtronic: What was it?
[23:43] <techtronic> antIP: gnome-terminal -x bash -c 'command; bash';
[23:43] <ddilinger> matthewg42: probably not going to work for ya then :)
[23:44] <techtronic> antIP: again kudos belongs to trism

[23:44] <B4CkTr4CkEr> is there a server special for bacjtrack users ?
[23:44] <matthewg42> ddilinger: but it's a very tempting thing to make a super-efficient / more flexiable version for linux...  :D
[23:44] <antIP> techtronic: Right on.
[23:44] <antIP> trism: thanks

[23:45] <natesm> hi, I'm trying to figure out debian packaging and PPAs. I made a lucid source package ("lucid" in the changelog file) and a maverick one, but the maverick one is being rejected by launchpad because it already exists (the lucid one of course). I'm clearly doing it wrong - any help? thanks.

[23:57] <Nutub> xD thanks i have other question... what i need to install x86 or x64? i have a amd athlon x2
[23:57] <histo> Nutub: do you have a 64bit or 32bit cpu?
[23:57] <Dulak> Nutub: how much ram you have?
[23:58] <Nutub> i have 2gb
[23:58] <histo> Nutub: is the machine in windows now?
[23:58] <Spofer> Hi all, can i update to 10.10 without losing all my data?
[23:58] <histo> !upgrade > Spofer
[23:58] <Nutub> xD my instalation failed so i have nothing
[23:58] <Dulak> Nutub: it doesn't matter which you go with then, 64 bit only makes a difference when you get to 4g ram
[23:58] <Nutub> only this live ubuntu
[23:59] <basix-> what's a good substitute for newsbin pro on ubuntu?
[23:59] <histo> Dulak: thats not true
[23:59] <pc-central> http://pc-central.zymichost.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=25
[23:59] <histo> Nutub: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[23:59] <histo> Nutub: look at the cflush size
[23:59] <bwRavencl> Nutub with 2gb you can just stick to x86, x64 would not have any advantages in my opinion
[23:59] <carandraug> hi! I've installed the netbook edition of 10.10. The new interface looks cool but creates a problem when I use Gnome Do. <Super> + space no longer works because pressing <super> shows up the shortcuts for the side panel applications

[15:26] <xubuntu33i> istalling xubuntu now, alongside Solus. Does XFCE support HiDPI (4k) displays?
[15:28] <xangua> Well there is a "hidpi" xfwm theme, you can enlarge the fonts, etc.
[15:29] <xangua> KDE and gnome are probably better at this
[21:04] <micrex22> Is it possible to have 'true' maximization in xubuntu (for the top portion of the window) and have windows near the bottom compensate so they don't go under the taskbar?
[21:57] <micrex22> Well I figured out the second portion, and that would be disabling "Don't reserve space on borders"
