[09:27] <RickRaven> Environment variables and sudoBy default, the sudo command will erase any environment variables that it doesn’t recognize, prior to executing the given command. So if you set APXS2 as a normal user, then run sudo passenger-install-apache2-module (which is the command for the Phusion Passenger installer), then the installer will not receive the environment variable value that you set. To solve this problem, please become root prior to setting any
[09:27] <RickRaven> and my problem : sudo passenger-install-apache2-module
[09:27] <RickRaven> sudo: passenger-install-apache2-module: command not found

[09:28] <RickRaven> ok floodbot
[09:28] <manga_45> im trying to convert waw file to mp3 with winff on ubuntu 10 updated. but it gives that error : Unknown encoder 'libmp3lame' . can someone helps me please ?
[09:28] <EE_> RickRaven: sudo apt-get apache2    ? thats just my guess but im new to this too
[09:29] <EE_> hey binaryme!
[09:29] <RickRaven> EE_ : :) nice try i am newbie too... my problem is related with environment variables.
[09:29] <ciriguao> hi evey1
[09:30] <unop> !medibuntu | manga_45
[09:30] <N1mo> hello
[09:30] <N1mo> i need some help
[09:30] <FireCrotch> RickRaven: is this "passenger-install-apache2-module" a program that you installed? Or is it some kind of script that you downloaded?
[09:30] <EE_> RickRaven: wish i had even a slight clue of the solution to that lol
[09:30] <unop> manga_45, add the medibuntu repository like ubottu indicates - then go ahead and install the libmp3lame package
[09:30] <joakimk> Is there any software/tool which can save the "state" of my software before I shutdown, and restart the same software when I restart the computer? I mean like, autostart Thunderbird, Firefox + restore all tabs, open same Terminal windows + cd to right dir, etc
[09:30] <ciriguao> I have a laptop thinkpad t43 & I want my wireless works
[09:31] <joakimk> I don't mean save state of running software, like resume a terminal program mid-process
[09:31] <FireCrotch> joakimk: You can use the hibernate feature to accomplish that.
[09:31] <EE_> anyone have any idea why the usb ports on the top of the tower are different from the ones on the back? both seem to work in general but sometimes i have to have a device on a specific side
[09:31] <ciriguao> some have a thinkpad t43 ??
[09:31] <unop> joakimk,  the gnome-session can do this --- use gnome-session-properties to configure.
[09:31] <RickRaven> FireCrotch: it is a program i think. it should be in the ruby gems folder. ruby gems folder defined as path in my .bashrc. but i learned that, sudo command deletes environment variables
[09:31] <joakimk> FireCrotch: yes, but I mean, this way I could make a "profile" called "Work", which would always do this for me. Now I use like 5 mins to get everything set up the way I like it :)
[09:32] <manga_45> unop: i can install the package. but why ubuntu does not install all needed packages when installed the winff which need libmp3lame package ?
[09:32] <joakimk> FireCrotch: like, open terminal and an ssh tunnel to work, etc
[09:32] <bricky> hey how do I set my computer into svideo from
[09:32] <ciriguao> wireless t43?
[09:32] <EE_> bricky: is it a laptop?
[09:32] <bricky> EE_:yes
[09:32] <bricky> I dont like the sounds of that question lol.
[09:32] <manga_45> unop : now i dont know if i can convert for other codecs. i have to try for every codec one by one ?
[09:32] <bricky> :)
[09:32] <unop> manga_45, possibly because this package is "restricted" -- ubuntu does not include mp3 support out of the box for legal reasons
[09:33] <chelz> i'm experiencing a lack of any kind of connection with intel 4965agn using iwlagn. details and logs here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1508490
[09:33] <ciriguao> Milos|Laptop: help me plz
[09:33] <EE_> bricky: hold the Fn key and the key with the little monitor icon on it
[09:33] <rww> EE_: USB ports aren't made equal. I've seen computers with differing power abilities, USB specifications, etc. on different USB ports.
[09:33] <manga_45> unop : hmm i understand. thank you!
[09:33] <EE_> bricky: mine is f4
[09:33] <ciriguao> wireless t43
[09:33] <unop> manga_45, if you have all the codecs - you should be able to do any conversion you like.
[09:33] <bricky> EE_: oh wow, let me just see here
[09:33] <FireCrotch> RickRaven: If there's a particular environmental variable that you need set when running a command via sudo, you can pass the variable on the command line, like so: APXS2=value
[09:33] <EE_> rww: I know some computers have both usb 1 and usb 2 on them but this one is so new they all have to be 2
[09:34] <joakimk> unop: tried to google it + man gnome-session... But what does this do exactly? ;)
[09:34] <N1mo> how to configure ppp through wvdial.conf
[09:34] <jameskk> t43's wireless chip is atheros?
[09:34] <manga_45> unop: i have all codecs. i use vlc and i can play mp3 files . also i have audacious. everything is on latest version at the moment.
[09:34] <bricky> EE_: not doing it hmm
[09:34] <rww> EE_: that doesn't mean they're identical.
[09:34] <fr0nk> codebrainz: sorry for the delay ;) - so there is no editor for themes like in beryl?
[09:34] <ciriguao> I can scanning and I can find my wireless but but i cann't connect to it
[09:34] <EE_> bricky: is your cable plugged in already and the tv on?
[09:34] <codebrainz> fr0nk, afaik
[09:34] <jameskk> ciriguao,what chip?
[09:35] <ciriguao> intel
[09:35] <zoug> N1mo, just open wvdial.conf, some sample config is alredy given
[09:35] <joakimk> unop: something like this? http://dmitrim.blogspot.com/2008/12/ubuntu-gnome-session-management.html
[09:35] <unop> joakimk, it allows you to remember the state of applications so that they are resumed every time you log on -- like you wanted.  you can either have them remembered each time you log off - or set this up once
[09:35] <cx> check you network
[09:35] <EE_> rww: is this intentional or a manufacturing fault?
[09:35] <ciriguao> i don't download a couple driver from intel
[09:35] <codebrainz> fr0nk, i think most metacity stuff is in gconf, but that setting is not available there
[09:35] <ciriguao> but I don't have a idea how to install
[09:35] <rww> EE_: could be both. I've seen it done intentionally (I looked on the spec sheet, it had them marked up differently).
[09:35] <bricky> EE_: yeah going through all the modes
[09:36] <rww> EE_: sorry, "either", not "both"
[09:36] <unop> manga_45, lame is the library needed to do conversions -- it's not really a codec in the sense you mean
[09:36] <bricky> should be component 1 maybe Ill get some drivers
[09:36] <manga_45> unop: hmm . ok.
[09:36] <chelz> i might just try to load the modules that worked in intrepid
[09:36] <ciriguao> intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG
[09:37] <automatik> anyone here use newsgroups?
[09:37] <EE_> rww: well i suppose i don't care its such a minor thing, i have four on the back and four on top so im happy. for a while i was like 'omg' the new version doesnt work with my keyboard?
[09:37] <ciriguao> jameskk: intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG
[09:37] <SwedeMike> !anyone | automatik
[09:37] <chelz> ciriguao: hey, having an issue here with intel 4965agn, some good intel issues tonight :)
[09:37] <amol112> hi all,i have touchscreen but it is not detected while booting.dmesh nothing shows info about touchscreen
[09:37] <unop> joakimk, yes - but mind you, that post is quite old and relating to 8.04 - so i'd take it that things have improved.  you can give gnome-session a try, it probably works for you.
[09:37] <chelz> automatik: Pan newsreader
[09:37] <amol112> lsusb lspci also not showing touchscreen info
[09:38] <EE_> anyone running magic jack at all?
[09:38] <ciriguao> chelz: lol I have a couple days with that st
[09:38] <joakimk> unop: I tried gnome-session in a Terminal window, but I only got some error messages, ending with ** (update-notifier:4359): WARNING **: already running?
[09:38] <unop> joakimk, if all you are after is to start a few applications each time you log on - you can place them in !startup
[09:38] <automatik> what do i use to see the information posted in newsgroups?
[09:38] <manga_45> unop : i installed libmp3lame-dev and libmp3lame0 but it does not work :(
[09:39] <unop> joakimk, gnome-session-properties is what you want to configure gnome-session
[09:39] <joakimk> unop: yes, but I also want to execute/start some commands/software in Terminal windows... guess I can do that also in the call to start Terminal?
[09:39] <bricky> so anyone know how I could get svideo out perhaps? :P
[09:39] <bricky> or what resolution Svideo is capable of? lol
[09:39] <unop> joakimk, sure, all you need is another file like your ~/.bashrc that you source when you need it.
[09:40] <SwedeMike> automatik: you're looking for a newsgroup reading program? thunderbird has one built-in I believe. apt-cache searc hnntp should give you a list of things related to nntp/news.
[09:40] <unop> manga_45, not sure why that is -- have you restarted winff ?
[09:40] <Dr_Willis> bricky:  I think anything over a speciic res gets  'converted' down.
[09:40] <SwedeMike> automatik: apt-cache search nntp I mean
[09:40] <manga_45> unop : yes.
[09:40] <manga_45> unop : i restrted.
[09:40] <unop> manga_45, what's the exact message you get?
[09:40] <ciriguao> I have a thinkpad  t43 but my wireless doesn't work "intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG" I can scanning but I can connect it. "it say driver fail to connect "
[09:41] <chelz> ciriguao: karmic?
[09:41] <manga_45> unop http://textsnip.com/3ab215
[09:41] <automatik> SwedeMike - which one do you use?
[09:41] <EE_> i was just reading about magic jack in linux and someone said it only works using XP in vmware (rather than virtualbox)
[09:41] <EE_> any idea why that is?
[09:41] <Chuwiey> hello, I have a barebones ubuntu 8 install, and i need to enable universe via command line... however, i don't have gedit either.. and anything i try and install does nothing (i.e. says nothing, just goes back to command line) - help?
[09:42] <automatik> or someone else this question relates to
[09:42] <SwedeMike> automatik: I havent used news for 10 years, it's too run over by binaries.
[09:42] <ciriguao> chelz: doesn't work
[09:42] <chelz> ciriguao: are you on lucid?
[09:42] <fr0nk> codebrainz: ok thanks. Is there any reason why I shouldn't just use beryl again? IMHO the themes for beryl are much more beautiful and easier to modify (eg no borders)
[09:43] <unop> manga_45, hmm, beats me..  you can /join #ffmpeg and ask them there, they might be able to help.
[09:43] <Dr_Willis> !beryl
[09:43] <codebrainz> fr0nk, i think beryl is not merged with compiz
[09:43] <Dr_Willis> fr0nk:  you mean the themes for EMERALD ?
[09:43] <codebrainz> s/not/now/
[09:43] <manga_45> unop: ok. tahnk you!
[09:43] <fr0nk> Dr_Willis: damn! yes! emerald... sorry! :(
[09:44] <Dr_Willis> fr0nk:  go ahead and use emreald if you want.. but dont be too suprised if emerald vanishes some day soon
[09:44] <Dr_Willis> !emerald
[09:44] <ciriguao> chelz: why ?
[09:44] <joakimk> unop: I guess that's easier... Then I can make a toolbar shortcut. Still, is this incorrect: gnome-terminal -x cd ~/mirror/work/my/files
[09:44] <fr0nk> I just got up ;)
[09:44] <chelz> ciriguao: so i know if we're running the same version of ubuntu
[09:44] <unop> Chuwiey,  sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list  # and comment out the lines you need.
[09:44] <joakimk> unop: I get an error window, saying "there was an error creating the child process for this terminal"
[09:44] <ciriguao> no I don't have it
[09:44] <bricky> Dr_Willis: you sound like you know how to do that. looks risky from my angle..
[09:44] <chelz> ciriguao: so you're on karmic?
[09:44] <Dr_Willis> bricky:  how to do what? :)
[09:45] <ciriguao> chelz: that wireless used to work on ubuntu 8.04
[09:45] <ciriguao> chelz: not son I ubuntu server
[09:45] <Chuwiey> unop, doesn't do anything (again with the no response and going back to cl)
[09:45] <bricky> Dr_Willis: about S-Video out under linux , it's pretty bleak, lol
[09:45] <fr0nk> Dr_Willis: sad destiny for emerald. Is there any reason you know of? It was far ahead the other decorators, especially the editor
[09:45] <Dr_Willis> bricky:  with my nvidia cards and the nvidia-settings tool.. takes me all of like 20 sec to get tv out working
[09:46] <Dr_Willis> fr0nk:  no idea. i rarely used it.
[09:46] <chelz> ciriguao: what version of ubuntu and edition are you using now?
[09:46] <fr0nk> hm ok, thanks anyway
[09:46] <fr0nk> brb breakfast :D
[09:46] <bricky> Dr_Willis: lol :)
[09:46] <joakimk> unop: nevermind, I used working-directory :)
[09:46] <ciriguao> chelz: ubuntu-desktop
[09:46] <Dr_Willis> bricky:  i finally upgraded to a new tv. Using the VGA out now
[09:46] <bricky> its that my ATI is weak then :O
[09:47] <bricky> Compiz works nice though, :D
[09:47] <chelz> ciriguao: 8.10, 9.04, 9.10, 10.04?
[09:47] <Dr_Willis> bricky:  i dont touch ati. :) other then to remove/toss/replace with nvidia..
[09:47] <ciriguao> chelz: 10.04
[09:47] <EE_> can anyone tell me the most correct way to install vmware player? i know there are several methods and last time the installation failed and any time i did a system update it would keep failing over and over again
[09:47] <bricky> Dr_Willis: X200 mobile, no lag, but some features arent supported
[09:47] <ciriguao> EE_: sudo apt-get install vmware
[09:47] <bricky> like window animations, :(
[09:48] <EE_> ciriguao: thx
[09:48] <bricky> no controlling fan speed
[09:48] <bricky> nothing, lol
[09:48] <ciriguao> chelz: did you fix your problem with your wireless?
[09:49] <akssps011> hi, I have upgraded from kubuntu 9.10 to 10.04 on my desktop PC
[09:49] <akssps011> but after upgradation Hibernation is not working
[09:49] <akssps011> it worked prior to upgrade
[09:49] <akssps011> what may be the problem ??
[09:49] <FloodBot2> akssps011: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:49] <EE_> ciriguao: couldnt find package vmware
[09:49] <chelz> ciriguao: nope, still working on it
[09:49] <chelz> i'm gonna try rebooting in a bit
[09:49] <akssps011> I tried to use "uswsusp", but it is for laptops..moreover on my PC crashes quite frequently after installing it. Is their any alternative ?
[09:50] <ciriguao> EE_: sudo apt-get install vm press tab
[09:50] <ciriguao> EE_: sudo apt-get install vm and then press tab
[09:50] <ronny> hi
[09:50] <ronny> can someone point me to the relevant channels if i want to start packaging apps for ubuntu?
[09:50] <bazhang> ciriguao, vmware is not in the repos
[09:50] <akssps011> Please help, its very difficult to do without hibernation
[09:50] <chelz> ronny: #ubuntu-dev
[09:50] <chelz> or maybe motu
[09:51] <chelz> ronny: #ubuntu-motu
[09:51] <ciriguao> chelz: did tried with ndiswrapper ?
[09:51] <bazhang> ciriguao, you may be thinking of virtualbox
[09:51] <chelz> ciriguao: i'm trying to avoid that.. that might work but i'm pretty sure ndiswrapper doesn't work too well with injection and monitor mode and stuff
[09:51] <EE_> ciriguao: displayed a few files or folders not sure... still didnt work thouhg
[09:51] <ciriguao> bazhang: that video player ?
[09:51] <mulka> FireCrotch: that works on the command line, but it doesn't work from a PHP accessed via URL
[09:51] <bazhang> EE_, vmware is not in the repos
[09:52] <akssps011> Is there any solution to hibernation problem in ubuntu 10.04 ?
[09:52] <chelz> mplayer isn't vmware
[09:52] <ciriguao> EE_: you are looking 4 a video player ?
[09:52] <bazhang> ciriguao, you may be thinking of vlc; vmware is something different entirely
[09:52] <EE_> bazhang: so how can I get it?
[09:52] <RickRaven> strange sudo behaviour. please tell me what is wrong : http://paste.ubuntu.com/449083/
[09:52] <chelz> akssps011: gather a bunch of info about your computer and post on the forums about it
[09:52] <bazhang> EE_, from vmware.com as far as I know
[09:52] <joakimk> If I do this, gnome-terminal --tab --working-directory=/home/joakimk/mirror/phd -e nano --tab --working-directory=/home/joakimk/mirror/phd/ldpc/old/old/ -e nano, is it possible to avoid the tabs/terminal being closed when I exit nano?
[09:52] <ciriguao> bazhang: oh I see...!! :S
[09:52] <EE_> ciriguao: im trying to use ubuntu but I want to use magic jack as well and I read that I need to run XP in VMWare not Virtual box for it to work
[09:52] <FireCrotch> mulka: You'll need a wrapper php script that does exec('php yourscript.php </dev/null &') then
[09:53] <akssps011> chelz: tried in ubuntuforums, but no response their.
[09:53] <ciriguao> ok
[09:53] <zoug> is anyone encountering some strange RGB'ish squares when turning off ubuntu? it should not happen right?
[09:53] <ciriguao> EE_: why u don't use a wine ?
[09:53] <mulka> FireCrotch: yea, that's what I tried. it appears to run it in the foreground because the page doesn't load right away
[09:54] <akssps011> chelz: I have 1.24 GB RAM, 1GB swap space, 80GB HDD, P4 ? Hibernation worked in 9.10 but not in 10.04
[09:54] <EE_> ciriguao: do you think it will work?
[09:54] <EE_> ciriguao ive never used wine before
[09:54] <bricky> zoug: I have ziggy lines when mine comes on, lol
[09:54] <akssps011> chelz: I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04
[09:54] <ciriguao> EE_: yes and u don't need vw
[09:54] <bricky> wiggly but not wiggly you know
[09:55] <akssps011> chelz: any idea ?
[09:55] <zoug> bricky, lol i used to see that on 9.10, im using 10.04
[09:55] <ciriguao> EE_: tried installing with wine
[09:55] <bazhang> EE_, not familiar with that, check wine's appdb
[09:55] <chelz> akssps011: uhm you could try shrinking your partition, then installing to another partition to see if the issue is upgrade-related
[09:55] <bazhang> !appdb | EE_
[09:55] <ciriguao> chelz: what type of wireless u have?
[09:56] <akssps011> chelz: you mean using gparted and then reinstall ?
[09:56] <cedric__> Hello ! Somebody knows if it's really interessting to buy a processor with HT (Hyper Threading) for Ubuntu (lucid) ? Thanks
[09:56] <manga_45> i have ffmpeg on my system. but i can not open the gui. how to open it ?
[09:56] <chelz> ciriguao: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AGN
[09:56] <chelz> akssps011: yeah, to test
[09:56] <bazhang> manga_45, there is none, install winff
[09:57] <EE_> bazhang: its in the list
[09:57] <ciriguao> chelz: did u tried to download from intel ??
[09:57] <chelz> akssps011: you can grow your main partition after. make sure you know how to reinstall grub though
[09:57] <EE_> bazhang: i mean its not in the list
[09:57] <ciriguao> chelz: they have a couple driver for it
[09:57] <bazhang> EE_, then likely not supported
[09:57] <RickRaven> RickRaven: strange sudo behaviour. please tell me what is wrong : http://paste.ubuntu.com/449083/
[09:57] <Sammael_X> Ok thats frustrating - everything I read said that not seeing the sata drive was a bug with 9.10. So I downloaded and burned 10.04 - same thing.  0.o
[09:57] <akssps011> chelz: but it worked with 9.10 and problem aroused the moment I upgraded to 10.04. So isn't update the problem ?
[09:57] <chelz> ciriguao: yeah, a few times. i keep trying different compat-wireless versions
[09:58] <manga_45> bazhang: please look for the pictures. there is a gui i think : http://www.google.com.tr/images?hl=tr&q=ffmpeg&safe=off&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi
[09:58] <Sammael_X> Same exact thing - gparted sees it fine, installer does not.
[09:58] <ciriguao> chelz: 2bad
[09:58] <joakimk> How can I create a new Terminal, have it do something, (say run Nano), and remain open (avoid being closed) when I exit Nano=
[09:58] <bazhang> manga_45, ffmpeg is command line; you need winff
[09:58] <ciriguao> chelz: what is the problem?
[09:58] <chelz> akssps011: the problem may be not due to the upgrade tho, it may just be part of 10.04
[09:58] <EE_> bazhang im still lost on how to install vmware
[09:59] <manga_45> on #ffmpeg channel told me that they dont support winff :( what should i do now ?
[09:59] <bazhang> EE_, go to their website and get it
[09:59] <chelz> ciriguao: can't connect to hardly anything, only a network without wep/wpa if i set static IPs. details are here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1508490
[09:59] <akssps011> chelz:ok
[09:59] <chelz> EE_: does vmware have instructions? you could check their forum
[09:59] <Dr_Willis> manga_45:  what are you trying to do anyway?
[10:00] <manga_45> bazhang:  on #ffmpeg channel told me that they dont support winff :( what should i do now ?
[10:00] <bazhang> manga_45, explain what you are trying to do? learn / read the ffmpeg documentation then?
[10:00] <ciriguao> chelz: I cann't connect even without security
[10:00] <Dr_Willis> manga_45:   if you want a gui to ffmpeg , install and use winff. or learn to use the ffmpeg command
[10:00] <zoug> manga_45, as far as i know ffmpeg is a library which is a backend. you are asking for a frontend, is that right?
[10:00] <manga_45> Dr_Willis: i have a problem with winff. i can not convert a waw file to mp3 or blackberrys music format.
[10:01] <zoug> manga_45, or use it from CLI
[10:01] <chelz> ciriguao: have you tried setting a static ip in networkmanager?
[10:01] <Dr_Willis> manga_45:  Its possible the version of ffmpeg you have - does not have mp3 support also.
[10:01] <R3cur51v3> manga_45, I'm sure there are easier ways to convert a wav to mp3
[10:01] <R3cur51v3> I think
[10:01] <R3cur51v3> Actually, IDK
[10:01] <R3cur51v3> nvm
[10:01] <FloodBot2> R3cur51v3: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[10:01] <R3cur51v3> ^that
[10:01] <manga_45> Dr_Willis: how to support it ?
[10:02] <Dr_Willis> manga_45:  i always google for examples of such conversions.     that way i learn ffmpeg command line.
[10:02] <manga_45> strwag: i have audacity on my system.
[10:02] <chelz> ciriguao: do you know what kind of ip you had before? something like <IP_ADDRESS>?
[10:02] <ciriguao> chelz: I tried to installing with ndiswrapper but still not working
[10:02] <manga_45> Dr_Willis: Unknown encoder 'libmp3lame'
[10:02] <miniver> Hey, anyone noticing a problem with Firefox crashing *a lot* with Ubuntu 10.04 x86_64?
[10:03] <chelz> ciriguao: want to try setting a static ip? i'll walk you through it if you want
[10:03] <ciriguao> chelz: I have
[10:03] <chelz> ciriguao: you have tried or you want to?
[10:03] <Dr_Willis> manga_45:  check package manager for libmp3lame and install it
[10:03] <ciriguao> chelz: let see
[10:03] <Dr_Willis> http://fosswire.com/post/2007/11/using-ffmpeg-to-convert-to-mp3/
[10:04] <manga_45> Dr_Willis: ok thank you!
[10:04] <bazhang> seems like sound-converter can do it
[10:04] <chelz> ciriguao: yes? no?
[10:05] <ciriguao> chelz: yes
[10:05] <zoug> RickRaven, why dont you link the passenger binary to /usr/bin?
[10:05] <EE_> am i supposed to be able to just run the .bundle??
[10:05] <chelz> ciriguao: right click on NetworkManager, go to Edit Connections, select your ethernet connection in Wired and click on the "edit" button. tell me when you're done with these steps.
[10:05] <red2kic> Whatever happens to Mozilla Sunbird?
[10:06] <chelz> EE_: does it come with a README?
[10:06] <miniver> Hey, anyone noticing a problem with Firefox 3.6.3 crashing *a lot* with Ubuntu 10.04 x86_64?
[10:06] <EE_> chelz: no just by itself
[10:06] <RickRaven> zoug: it may work but wha i want to learn why it doesnt work with sudo. i want to understand the mechanism
[10:06] <xalnon> ok i need to figure out how to make it so i can find wifi
[10:06] <chelz> miniver: you could report a bug if you want. just involves installing a firefox debug versions and posting some logs
[10:06] <zoug> miniver, i have some occasional crashing on x86.32
[10:07] <ciriguao> chelz: I using other type of ubuntu my ubuntu is for notebook
[10:07] <red2kic> miniver: Could be your Flash. Try disable it temporarily and see if the problem still rises.
[10:07] <chelz> EE_: sure try that. ./file.bundle
[10:07] <EE_> chelz: coult not open the file /tmp/VMware-Player-2.5....x86_64.bundle ,,,,gedit has not been able to deteld the character encoding...
[10:07] <chelz> EE_: you probably need to do it from a terminal
[10:07] <xalnon> can someone help me
[10:07] <EE_> chelz: Im not sure I follow.... in a terminal?
[10:08] <zoug> RickRaven, did you marked it as executable? under sudo..
[10:08] <chelz> EE_: actually
[10:08] <chelz> EE_: right click, go to "open with" select "other" and type in   bash
[10:08] <miniver> Basically, it doesn't seem to crash if I'm using it, but it I leave firefox idle (but with tabs open) and go away for an hour, when I come back it's crashed ... and won't re-open my tabs when I start it.
[10:09] <chelz> miniver: might be flash
[10:09] <miniver> *grumble* The flash, I hates it, it burns me.
[10:09] <chelz> you could disable flash when you leave it, and see if it stops crashing
[10:10] <RickRaven> zoug: it seems it is executable by everyone -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 412 2010-06-13 10:40 passenger-install-apache2-module
[10:10] <chelz> the best way to get to the root of it is to do the bug filing process though
[10:10] <EE_> chelz: nothing happens
[10:10] <chelz> RickRaven: you could try the full path to it
[10:10] <chelz> oh
[10:10] <bazhang> EE_, you have 9.10 or 10.04
[10:10] <EE_> chelz: ps im running ultimate edition 2.7 based of lucid
[10:10] <miniver> Disabling Flash means restarting the browser, and losing all of the opened pages -- what's the point of that?
[10:10] <unop> RickRaven, check the manpage for sudo -- look for the SECURE_PATH option
[10:10] <chelz> RickRaven: so right before you try to run it, what's in your path?
[10:10] <EE_> chelz: i have three diff terminals but not bash i guess
[10:10] <miniver> <- 10.04, firefox 3.6.3.
[10:11] <miniver> *sigh* thanks.
[10:11] <chelz> miniver: ok how about the flashblock extension
[10:11] <RickRaven> unop: ok i will check
[10:11] <unop> RickRaven, debian/ubuntu build sudo in such a way that only a sane PATH is used -- which is why your directory is not looked in
[10:11] <chelz> then make sure no flash is running when you leave, just reload pages with flash on them to get flashblock to block them again
[10:11] <bazhang> EE_, ultimate is not supported here; and vmware does not have a working version with 10.04 lucid
[10:11] <zoug> RickRaven, if that is a shell script, sudo sh passenger..?
[10:12] <Dr_Willis> EE_:  $ echo $SHELL
[10:12] <Dr_Willis> EE_:  to see what shell you are using.
[10:12] <EE_> bazhang: vmware doesnt work with lucid? that sucks!!!
[10:12] <Sammael_X> Ok so - dmraid -E -r /dev/sda did the trick - meh.
[10:12] <Dr_Willis> I always use virtualbox these days. Not used vmware in ages.
[10:12] <bazhang> EE_, and there is not ultimate support here; check ultimate support channels/forums
[10:13] <bazhang> !derivatives > EE_
[10:13] <EE_> Dr willis: command not found.... ps I have three in my accessories menu and one has a dollar sign and one is called terminator
[10:14] <Dr_Willis> EE_:  you are confuseing the 'terminal emulator' wht the actual 'shell' the emulator is running
[10:14] <unop> RickRaven, let's keep the conversation here -- so other people can contribute...
[10:14] <Dr_Willis> EE_:  echo $SHELL                  should print out the current 'shell' you are using . not what 'emulator/gui'  you are using
[10:15] <EE_> Dr_Willis: /bin/bash
[10:15] <EE_> i had an extra $ in there before
[10:15] <Dr_Willis> EE_:  so you are using the bash shell. There ya go.
[10:15] <bricky> how would I back up my xorg.conf and restore it easily?
[10:15] <unop> RickRaven, SECURE_PATH ensures that PATH is reset to the default (as per /etc/profile) before sudo tries to run the command you give it --- this is to stop someone/malware from loading a bad directory in your PATH and possibly doing something disastrous.
[10:16] <bricky> I would like to try something out to get my S-video working :) lol
[10:16] <bullgard4> On my Ubuntu 10.04 computer exists a process seamonkey-2.0-bin (76KiB) and another process seamonkey-2.0-bin (88,9MiB). How do their functions differ?
[10:17] <Dr_Willis> bricky:  its just a text file.
[10:17] <EE_>  so are you guys telling me there is no way I can get vmware player to work with lucid?
[10:17] <Dr_Willis> bricky:  copy it somewhere, copy it back to restore
[10:17] <zoug> unop, so if we change the PATH it wont make that change happen when we sudo something?
[10:18] <unop> RickRaven, example. people like doing this often ''sudo bash'' ... but if i created some malware (let's call it bash too) and placed it in your homedirectory, I can get it to affect PATH like this.  PATH="~/:$PATH" .. so the next time you go to run ''sudo bash'',   ~/bash is invoked and all your credit cards are mine...
[10:18] <Dr_Willis> EE_:  check the forums perhaps? or the !vmware factoids
[10:18] <bricky> bullgard4" one is the program one is a script running it maybe? Idk
[10:18] <EE_> !vmware
[10:18] <bricky> Dr_Willis: yeah but if it messes up i cant use X then
[10:18] <EE_> nice!!
[10:18] <bricky> and gnome,
[10:19] <Dr_Willis> bricky:  this is when you learn some shell basics
[10:19] <unop> zoug, only under some special circumstances .. such as when running ''sudo command''
[10:19] <Dr_Willis> bricky:  i dont even have a xorg.conf for several of my machines.
[10:19] <vahid> when i want to replay a post in forums firefox in long time i will be in "waitng for" HELP ME
[10:19] <bricky> since theres no password  screen when I log in to my first session I dont know if its safe
[10:20] <bricky> and I dont know why I just mentioned that but oh well ;P
[10:20] <bullgard4> bricky: I will think about your answer.
[10:20] <bricky> Dr_Willis: you must have a more compatible video card
[10:20] <joot> mag NickServ identify joot
[10:20] <bricky> Dr_Willis: my card requires it im sure, since it does not come pre-installed with catalyst
[10:21] <joot> sorry
[10:21] <bricky> yes yes...
[10:21] <bricky> joot: go on...
[10:21] <bricky> msg NickServ identify bricky

[10:22] <bricky> msg NickServ identify bricky pastapie201
[10:22] <zoug> unop, so a normal user can make PATH changes and use it execute any binaries?
[10:22] <bullgard4> bricky: I cannot think of any reasonable reason to call a binary using a skript process that does not end immediately.
[10:22] <Dr_Willis> bricky:  if theres no xorg.conf - X normally choses some sane defaults.. (normally)
[10:22] <bricky> Dr_Willis: ah
[10:22] <joot> bricky: yeah I got myself sorted now :)
[10:22] <Dr_Willis> !tvout | bricky
[10:23] <unop> zoug, well, pretty much yea -- which is why PATH must be checked before using sudo -- to ensure that binaries in untrusted paths are not accidentally invoked.
[10:23] <kitty_> having problems with apache2 and scriptalias for multimon, can't get it to execute the file. have Options ExecCGI and sethandler... no clue what i'm doing wrong
[10:23] <appa_15> Dr_Willis: i installed for winff the lame package which is needed but i get the same error from winff.
[10:23] <bricky> joot: :)
[10:24] <zoug> unop, ah i see..thanks for the info!
[10:24] <Dr_Willis> appa_15:  try the simple command line. and see if it gives errors, for starters
[10:24] <appa_15> ok

[10:28] <EE_> Dr_Willies: NICE ... that probably fixed the problem i had for months!
[10:29] <Dr_Willis> EE_:  You might want to spend some time reasing up and learning bash basics. :)
[10:29] <appa_15> Dr_Willis i try it from command line it gives this error : Unsupported codec for output stream #0.0

[10:33] <bullgard4> ikonia: The process seamonkey-2.0 still exists. I cannot think of any reasonable reason to call a binary using a skript process that does not end immediately. Why did the process seamonkey-2.0 not terminate?

[10:34] <Dr_Willis> joot:  the #mythbuntu guys may know. or know a place to look

[10:42] <vahid> Chromium, but in Firefox after some minutes, want to save that page!
[10:42] <jo-erlend> Dr_Willis, no, I can't. That's why I'm asking. How do I do that?

[10:43] <R3cur51v3> ikonia, feel free to fill in the blanks with common sense
[10:43] <JyZyXEL> when you have your root fs on raid-1 can the /boot be there too or does it have to separately on just one of the devices?
[10:43] <R3cur51v3> ikonia, typically, when someone asks you the way to the restroom you don't ask "which one"
[10:44] <Dr_Willis> jo-erlend:  hit e , or somthing to enter editing mode. make changes.. ctrl-x to boot I belive
[10:44] <bazhang> R3cur51v3, lets move this to #ubuntu-offtopic please
[10:44] <jo-erlend> Dr_Willis, I'll try that. Thanks.
[10:44] <R3cur51v3> bazhang, I'm banned there
[10:44] <bazhang> R3cur51v3, well this is not the appropriate channel for Ubuntu certification merits
[10:45] <Wipster> hey all, is there a command like traceroute and ping which can continuously monitor the ping and packet loss along the hops to a host? I need to debug some network problems
[10:45] <wise_crypt> R3cur51v3: got ban ib offtopic is bad
[10:45] <BlueEagle> R3cur51v3: I do not know what a "Ubuntu certification" actually represents. If you are able to set up and manage an Ubuntu server environment or if you're just able to use Ubuntu would define the value. So what you most likely want to ask is what an "Ubuntu certification" actually means that you can do.
[10:46] <BlueEagle> R3cur51v3: In any case #ubuntu-offtopic would be a more suitable channel for such a discussion.
[10:46] <pancakez> JyZyXEL, raid-1 can have boot on the root fs. however on raid-0 that doesn't work
[10:46] <rww> BlueEagle: you may want to consider reading R3cur51v3's last message.
[10:46] <JyZyXEL> how about a crypto raid-1?
[10:46] <red2kic> R3cur51v3: I guess you have to figure out how to evade your ban! Then go in #ubuntu-offtopic before somebody figured you out.
[10:47] <pancakez> not sure about that
[10:47] <rww> red2kic: Joking about violating network policy isn't a great idea.
[10:47]  * wise_crypt how can a man be baned in offtopic
[10:47] <bazhang> red2kic, that is not welcome advice.
[10:47] <JyZyXEL> can the /boot be on partitioned md?
[10:47] <Dr_Willis> wise_crypt:  i was wondering that also...
[10:47] <Dr_Willis> wise_crypt:  perhaps he was answering support questions
[10:47] <rww> wise_crypt: because "offtopic" doesn't mean "free for all"
[10:47] <R3cur51v3> lol
[10:48] <red2kic> wise_crypt: I take it you didn't follow the guidelines / rules. o4o for o4o exists.
[10:48] <joot> Dr Willis wise-crypt: must have been off-topic
[10:48] <pancakez> JyZyXEL, I believe so, yes
[10:48] <wise_crypt> joot: offtopic in oftopic # ?

[10:50] <Jordan_U> JyZyXEL: grub2 can read it's files / the kernel from a full disk md, but can only be installed to a drive that has a normal partition table and mdraid on top of that

[10:51] <joot> ! hi
[10:52] <Pirate_Hunter> does mpd allow me to play music on one pc but redirect the sound to other computers also can I control the songs being played?
[10:52] <JyZyXEL> Jordan_U: but there can be another partition table on top of md
[10:52] <testi_> I'd like to delete all pages following page 30 in an openoffice document. Selecting the whole content and then pressing "Delete" does not work. How can I delete content in a document?
[10:53] <JyZyXEL> so could grub2 read the /boot files from a partitioned raid-1 md
[10:53] <Dr_Willis> selecting text and hitting 'delete' dosent delete text in OpenOfficcs?
[10:53] <BlueEagle> Pirate_Hunter: Not exactly an answer to your question, but kplaylist.com may be worth a gander.
[10:53] <woot> hi there
[10:54] <Jordan_U> JyZyXEL: Yes.
[10:54] <BlueEagle> Pirate_Hunter: Not actively developed anymore though.
[10:54] <testi_> Dr_Willis: well if the content is only text, then it works. But the content is mixed. There are tables, images and text.
[10:54] <Pirate_Hunter> BlueEagle, will look at it all I want is an application that lets me play music on my home server but the sound comes out of my main comp thought mpd could do that
[10:54] <Dr_Willis> testi_:  Hmm.. perhaps a right click/context menu item then. or somt other menu item
[10:55] <testi_> mmh.. is there an openoffice channel in freenode?

[10:56] <Pirate_Hunter> BlueEagle, that could work work that could actually work (makes a note for another day) and cronject that would be the best and simplest method thanks
[10:57] <madurax86> hey, my RAM usage grows to about 86% but no process seems to be using it. I'm using fglrx, is there a reason for a mem leak on that driver to result in this behavior?
[10:58] <nmvictor> will removing pulseaudio as a startup application affect my systems sound?
[10:58] <Dr_Willis> madurax86:  prove its a mem leak. but check here first --> http://www.linuxatemyram.com/
[10:59] <cronject> masafumi: that's probably good.
[10:59] <woot> no ideas?
[10:59] <nmvictor> will removing pulseaudio as a startup application affect my systems sound?
[11:00] <cronject> masafumi: look at the second column of "fee -m"
[11:00] <cronject> *row

[11:01] <binaryme> woot, both connected to the same network?
[11:01] <madurax86> Dr_Willis: free -m seems to be displaying normal output but, the system monitors report high usage and swap usage goes up sometimes too the machine gets slow sometimes
[11:02] <woot> binaryme: yes, want to have 2x1gbit connectivity
[11:02] <binaryme> woot, why?
[11:02] <nmvictor> **WILL REMOVING PULSEAUDIO AS MY STARTUP APPLICATION AFFECT MY SYSTEMS SOUND???***
[11:02] <bazhang> nmvictor, no caps
[11:02]  * airtonix rofls
[11:02] <BlueEagle> !shout |nmvictor
[11:03] <woot> because i need 2gbit on one ip and not 2x1gbit
[11:03] <nmvictor> BlueEagle: who cant read uppercase?
[11:03] <woot> or i misunderstood your question, that could also be :)
[11:03] <freshmint> hi, where to i get fresh bluetooth conf files. i messed mine...
[11:03] <airtonix> nmvictor, why would you want to remove pulseaudio ?
[11:03] <airtonix> nmvictor, if its causing problems you're doing something wrong or following bad advice
[11:04] <BlueEagle> nmvictor: Typing in all uppercase is concidered SHOUTING and generally bad manners.
[11:04] <binaryme> woot, it generally doesn't work like that.  two cards can't share the same ip
[11:04] <insanity99> hey guys, compiled my first program in pascal and i can open it in terminal fine but if i double click the file simply marked 'hello' nothing happens. any idea why?
[11:04] <megabraker> hi
[11:04] <woot> binaryme, i see that i have 2 ip's one per interface
[11:04] <brianherman> Insanity: chmod +x <FILENAME HERE>
[11:04] <woot> binaryme: was my fault
[11:05] <nmvictor> airtonix: i just wanted to be sure if its important, if not, flush it out of my startup apps
[11:05] <Dr_Willis> nmvictor:  since its part of the normal gnome sound system.. i would say 'yes' to that question
[11:05] <airtonix> nmvictor, why ?
[11:05] <insanity99> i already tried that
[11:05] <Dr_Willis> insanity99:  if its a terminal/text output program.. it needs someplace to print the output
[11:05] <airtonix> nmvictor, is it because of OCD
[11:05] <woot> binaryme: i just want some kind of 'link' that they both pull out the speed, i mean that i have 2gbit and not 2x1gbit
[11:05] <megabraker> when am working with script like python scripts e.g script.py i noticed that another backup file was created script.py~ is this any way to configure my linux distro to not create backup files?
[11:06] <binaryme> woot, you can have one ip per card, but my experience is generally not a goood it to be on the same network or subnet
[11:06] <brianherman> insanity: are you clicking on the compiled binary?
[11:06] <brianherman> oh
[11:06] <insanity99> Dr_Willis: how?
[11:06] <nmvictor> BlueEagle: i know UPPERCASE means shouting but sometimes it gets one the attention, as you've noticed, someone(s) listened...:)
[11:06] <brianherman> insanity99:right click run in terminal in ubuntu
[11:06] <airtonix> nmvictor, normally i just people on ignore that shout...
[11:06] <binaryme> woot, why do you need such a high speed cinnection?
[11:07] <Dr_Willis> insanity99:  run it in a terminal... or make a terminal launch/run it
[11:07] <MaT-dg> can I limit the volume to a certain level?
[11:07] <brianherman> anyone use rsync to backup a server?
[11:07] <megabraker> when am working with script like python scripts e.g script.py i noticed that another backup file was created script.py~ is this any way to configure my linux distro to not create backup files?
[11:07] <Dr_Willis> insanity99:  if all its doing is printing 'hello' then  a terminal  also may open/print jhello, then quit , VERY quickly
[11:07] <red2kic> megabraker: Disable that in gedit.
[11:08] <Flannel> megabraker: That's a text editor property, and yeah, most can disable that.
[11:08] <airtonix> binaryme, woot i dont see the point of trying to merge the bandwidth of two NICS into one pipe if you dont have that same direct path at and through the end point
[11:08] <insanity99> yeah i added readln to make it wait
[11:08] <nmvictor> everytime my system starts, i see a line "Startting speech dispatcher ... [ ok ]" in the boot messages, whats that process for?
[11:08] <megabraker> ok ama using Kate :)
[11:08] <binaryme> airtonix, that's actually what I am getting at too
[11:09] <airtonix> binaryme, its possible but it requires special hardware right ?
[11:09] <red2kic> nmvictor: I'm guessing you installed festival or something.
[11:09] <insanity99> in the chose app to open with window, what is the command for terminal?
[11:09] <binaryme> airtonix, yes, it would require some kind of "load balancing" setup
[11:09] <airtonix> insanity99, gnome-open ?
[11:09] <woot> the customer want's to merge the two nic's bandwith ... i have no idea why he actually wants that sorry
[11:10] <woot> i am just the 'dumb' guy who has to get it up and running for him
[11:10] <airtonix> woot, just say its beyond the customers budget
[11:10] <megabraker> ok thanks red2kic and Flannel
[11:10] <insanity99> just says 'open with...'
[11:10] <nmvictor> red2kic: i dont have it installed, but i was wondering if its of any importance to the rest of the system ?
[11:10] <insanity99> terminal isn't listed though
[11:10] <woot> but that doesn't fix the problem that i have, that one nic goes down when it get's traffic
[11:10] <woot> and that appears only, when both nic's are up
[11:10] <cachouuuuuu> salut all =)
[11:10] <airtonix> insanity99, you have to add your own entries
[11:10] <binaryme> woot, that would be like taking to freeways and directing all the traffic to a single lane highway..... roadblocks
[11:11] <woot> if i have only one nic up, i have no problem
[11:11] <red2kic> nmvictor: I doubt it it is of any importance to you. Accessibility packages.
[11:11] <megabraker> woot i like your name :)
[11:11] <woot> hehe thanks megabraker
[11:11] <woot> binaryme: sure, i get that but how i said, it is not my thoughts on that :D
[11:11] <airtonix> woot, probably because they are on the same subnet / network ?
[11:11] <nmvictor> red2kic: yea, accessability packages was my gues
[11:11] <nmvictor> red2kic: thanks
[11:12] <woot> airtonix: that could be ... they both share the same subnet
[11:12] <airtonix> woot, set them to separate subnets then
[11:12] <binaryme> woot, are we talking about an off site link to the net>
[11:12] <insanity99> airtonix: so how do i add terminal? where is it on filesystem?
[11:13] <woot> binaryme: the nic's are both online, they both have online ip's (seperate) and are reachable or should be reachable from the outside
[11:13] <woot> but, what
[11:13] <woot> uarks
[11:14] <binaryme> ok, then they will need to be on different subnets, or you will need some kind of load ballancing setup, like a dedicate dual WAN router
[11:14] <airtonix> insanity99, depends on which terminal you mean ?
[11:14] <woot> but, what's the point with that driver? ubuntu loads another driver than i have as hardware
[11:15] <insanity99> applications > accessories > terminal. thats what i use normally
[11:15] <nmvictor> My System>Preference>Power Management does not have [On Battery] tab, only [On AC] & [General] tabs are visible.is this normal? Iam running Lucid lynx
[11:17] <Mixxit> hi im trying to intall ubuntu and its stuck at retreiving sysv-rc
[11:17] <woot> hardware is: RTL8111/8168B and driver that it loads is: driver=r8169 driverversion=2.3LK-NAPI, that confuses me a bit
[11:17] <Mixxit> im on a metered internet connection and im worried about having to restart this
[11:17] <Mixxit> how can i recover it?
[11:17] <nmvictor> My System>Preference>Power Management does not have [On Battery] tab, only [On AC] & [General] tabs are visible.is this normal? Iam running Lucid lynx
[11:18] <nmvictor> Mixxit: which version
[11:18] <Mixxit> lucid
[11:18] <binaryme> woot, that may be an issue, but I don't think it's the problem, if the cards work when you use the one at a time
[11:18] <Mixxit> i think it was a temporary network blip thats caused it and i want it to try to download it agai without having to go through the whole process again and download another 200mb
[11:18] <airtonix> Mixxit, what ISP are you with ?
[11:18] <Mixxit> vodafone
[11:19] <nmvictor>  are you installing over the net or doing an upgrade from kermic?
[11:19] <airtonix> shame
[11:19] <Mixxit> its a fresh install
[11:19] <ShapeShifter499> hi
[11:19] <Mixxit> how can i make it download that file again?
[11:19] <woot> binaryme i just tested eth1 standalone, have to test the other one. when it goes down it needs around 5-6minutes till it comes back
[11:20] <airtonix> Mixxit, you need to be a bit more descriptive about what you are doing ... is it just an apt-get command you're running ?
[11:20] <Mixxit> im just using the installer
[11:20] <airtonix> Mixxit, which means ?
[11:21] <nmvictor> Mixxit: i honestly dont understand, cant you get an ubuntu Lucid CD or alternate installer, its a cheaper option
[11:21] <airtonix> Mixxit, "just using the installer " << this could mean several things
[11:21] <[hate]me> мля тут есть персы из росии или вы для понтов на инглише общаетесь?
[11:21] <Mixxit> i think its a graphical interface to debootstrap in the ubuntu net installer cd
[11:21] <bricky> hm
[11:21] <airtonix> Mixxit, ah so you are doing a netboot install ?
[11:22] <Mixxit> yep
[11:22] <bricky> somone wanna remote fix my ubuntu =]
[11:22] <airtonix> Mixxit, i've no idea how to make it continue from the interupted position.
[11:22] <steffan> bricky: what is the problem?
[11:22] <nmvictor> Mixxit: why, is that you only option?
[11:22] <binaryme> woot, ok, if each card works ok, then it's probably a conflict because you are try to use two IPs on one subnet....  this won't work without special config or hardware
[11:22] <bricky> steffan i'm having a hard time with my wireless driver, ill send a screenshot
[11:22] <Mixxit> because to start again would be another 200mb
[11:23] <bricky> rather, ill post
[11:23] <airtonix> Mixxit, i dont think you can continue on from interupted point... i would just wait and get the proper install cd iso when you have a real internet connection.
[11:23] <woot> binaryme: okay, so i gotta try this out, the driver issue shall i fix it and when yes will there be trouble? i know my luck ;/
[11:23] <Mixxit> thanks anyway
[11:24] <nmvictor> Mixxit: but i thought the installer is placing the dowloaded files somewhere on your system, i doubt if it will have to download again
[11:24] <[hate]me> hi there is anyone from Russia?
[11:24] <red2kic> !ru | [hate]me
[11:25] <[hate]me> спс
[11:25] <binaryme> woot, regardless of the driver issue, tell you customer/employer? that they will need a dedicated dual WAN router to do what you are trying to do.
[11:25] <woot> okay, i will
[11:25] <woot> thanks a lot for your time and help ;)
[11:26] <binaryme> woot, you're welcome
[11:26] <somebody_> installing Ubuntu 10 and its hanging at 79% what is happening? how do i fix this?
[11:28] <cronject> somebody_: try verifying the cd using md5sum https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM
[11:29] <somebody_> ok but i downloaded the image from ubuntu.com :/
[11:29] <cronject> somebody_: still could be a bad cd
[11:30] <ShapeShifter499> how do I tell what my computer has in it(cpu, ram , etc.) in xbuntu?
[11:30] <bricky> steffan
[11:30] <anonymouse_> ShapeShifter499,  lshw in terminal
[11:30] <wilbefast> hey, does anybody know how to get an address bar in nautilus?
[11:30] <steffan> bricky: yes?
[11:30] <croxio5> join #ubuntu-uk
[11:30] <wilbefast> in 10.04
[11:31] <Dr_Willis> theres some nicer gui looking hardware info tool.. but i never caan bermber its name
[11:31] <croxio5> woops
[11:31] <Dr_Willis> wilbefast:  hit ctrl-l to enable it.
[11:31] <Dr_Willis> wilbefast:  or / key i think
[11:31] <User01> steffan  http://is.gd/cNz9b
[11:31] <wilbefast> Dr_Willis thank :-)
[11:31] <wilbefast> I was so sick of not being able to type addresses: it feels like you're being patronised
[11:32] <bricky> lol its the best pic  could take its pretty bad
[11:32] <Dr_Willis> wilbefast:  theres a way to make it alwyas be on. via some tweaks
[11:32] <wilbefast> hmm
[11:32] <wilbefast> Guess I'll have to look that up
[11:33] <bradpitt> hell-ow.. in ubuntu unity interface how can i add program to the unity panel? drag and drop is not supported and there's no options for adding apps.
[11:33] <bricky> anyways  my shift dont even work now hmm
[11:33] <quizme> is there a way to start a process on another desktop window ?
[11:34] <ShapeShifter499> I have an computer that saved from going to  e-waste that I plan to make a server with, there is a "intel inside" celeron sticker on the laptop but lshw says there is a pentium III in it?  are the the same?
[11:34] <ShapeShifter499> *are they the same?
[11:34] <steffan> ShapeShifter499: upgraded?
[11:35] <steffan> bricky: Applications > Accessories > Take Screenshot next time. did you follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx?
[11:35] <brianherman> ShapeShifter: it should be the same
[11:35] <quizme> what are they called ? deskop 1 desktop 2
[11:35] <quizme> desktop panels?
[11:35] <bricky> steffan oh yeah thanks,
[11:35] <cronject> ShapeShifter499: There were celeron variants of pentium III
[11:35] <bricky> stteffan ive been through that and multiple other turorials but its just so odd lol
[11:35] <ShapeShifter499> brianherman: so ....   celeron<=pentium III ?
[11:36] <amee2k> damn, rsync is saturating the server so badly, nfs is now stalling completely
[11:36] <ShapeShifter499> brianherman: less than or equal to?
[11:36] <amee2k> waiting 5 minutes for an ls -l now
[11:36] <brianherman> equal
[11:36] <cronject> Celerons are the cheaper lower end processors
[11:36] <steffan> bricky: then again I have near to none experience with networking so I'm probably not the person. someone in here will no doubt have a solution for you though - just need to be patient
[11:37] <Pirate_Hunter> ShapeShifter499, not unless all i've been taught so far has been a lie
[11:37] <bricky> sure, steffan, will keep trying until something happens
[11:37] <bricky> ty anyways,
[11:38] <ubuntuselur> how can i get my creative webcam vista pd1100 running on ubuntu lucid?
[11:38] <quizme> is it possible to launch an application from the command line into desktop panel 4?
[11:38] <Moopz> Hey
[11:39] <anonymouse_> !hi
[11:39] <gothenburg> :p
[11:39] <ShapeShifter499> I have a ton of questions, but I'll start with this, I have this old computer, a Dell Inspiron 2500 with 128 mb ram, 10 gb hard drive, and a Pentium III processor that I saved from e-waste and I plan to turn it into a file, print, and maybe an web server.... I am currently trying to get the printer to work....but I think no matter the OS it still requires BOTH a b/w cartridge and color...
[11:39] <ShapeShifter499> ...cartridge before it will print....I can't tell
[11:39] <Moopz> I have a question. Is it possible to get the gnome version for netbooks on a regular ubuntu install?
[11:39] <Pirate_Hunter> is there a way when sending files (scp) on the lan to cap the bandwidth on the system
[11:40] <ShapeShifter499> The printer in question is an Canon Pixma iP2600
[11:41] <thune3> ShapeShifter499: do you have an empty you can plug in? maybe this will suppress the error condition?
[11:41] <iceroot> is there a default shortcut for mouse-button three? (paste what is selected)
[11:41] <ShapeShifter499> thune3: thats the problem.
[11:41] <ShapeShifter499> thune3: I don't
[11:42] <knoppix> ?
[11:43] <Pirate_Hunter> nvm just read the man found the option
[11:44] <Moopz> I have a question. Is it possible to get the gnome version for netbooks on a regular ubuntu install?
[11:45] <echosystm> hi guys
[11:45] <echosystm> when i installed ubuntu, it said it couldnt find a network controller
[11:46] <echosystm> when i made it autodetect, it found it
[11:46] <echosystm> and it installed fine
[11:46] <ShapeShifter499> thune3: I do know that on a windows comp I have it kept giving an color cartridge error.....saying it wasn't plugged in OR was defective, and the only options were to cancel printing or get more info on what cartridges to buy
[11:46] <echosystm> now that ive rebooted, it cant find the card again
[11:46] <echosystm> what can i do to make it autodetect the card again?
[11:46] <anonymouse_> echosystm, what card is it?
[11:47] <echosystm> i dont know
[11:47] <echosystm> some mitsubishi thing
[11:47] <anonymouse_> echosystm, try lspci
[11:47] <anonymouse_> echosystm, to find out that card you have
[11:47] <silner> I couldn't find any instructions just now Moopz but I's be surprised if it can't be done
[11:47] <echosystm> "diamond voice 56 combo"
[11:48] <echosystm> it has a 56k modem and ethernet card in one
[11:48] <ShapeShifter499> thune3: how long do you think I've got before the current b/w cartridge I have drys up?
[11:48] <thune3> ShapeShifter499: no way to guess how long
[11:48] <Moopz> silner, I was unable to find any as well. I'm checking out whether they're on the official theme packs
[11:48] <echosystm> anonymouse_, when i lspci, the winmodem comes up
[11:48] <echosystm> but thats all i can see
[11:48] <ShapeShifter499> thune3: I'm afraid that it wont last a month
[11:49] <echosystm> i know this definitely works, because it was downloading some stuff during installation
[11:49] <echosystm> and the apt cache has been updated et.c
[11:49] <thune3> ShapeShifter499: can you launch xfprint or xfprint4
[11:49] <ShapeShifter499> thune3: xfprint?
[11:50] <ShapeShifter499> thune3: I don't think they are installed
[11:50] <thune3> ShapeShifter499: you are on xfce if i remember, and i think this is the printing config utility, but i could be wrong
[11:50] <anonymouse_> echosystm, yeah I don't think it has anything to do with the NIC itself, it sounds like a bug
[11:50] <Moopz> silner: Doesn't seem like it.
[11:50] <ShapeShifter499> thune3: oh one sec, I should be able to start it through alt-f2 OR terminal right?
[11:50] <silner> I notice there is a meta package called ubuntu-netbook in the repo Moopz?
[11:50] <echosystm> how do i do the autodetect thing like it does during the installation?
[11:51] <thune3> ShapeShifter499: i'm not xfce guy, but i want to know if you can configure default to "grayscale"
[11:51] <Moopz> silner: I'm new to ubuntu, so all I know is what I can see in the cache search. How do I locate that one?
[11:51] <Dr_Willis> Moopz:  insstall ubuntu-netbook package. select netbook  interface at teh GDM login screen
[11:51] <Dr_Willis> Moopz:  use the synaptic package manager search for netbook
[11:52] <Moopz> Dr_Willis: Thanks, will try.
[11:52] <ubuntuselur> how can i trick apt-get into believing that a dependency is met?
[11:52] <silner> I just used Aptitude search on the command line Moopz but I'll look in Synaptic now
[11:52] <Dr_Willis> ubuntu-netbook - The Ubuntu Netbook system
[11:53] <ShapeShifter499> thune3: there is an app called system-config-printer......
[11:53] <SirMoo> Lies!
[11:53] <Moopz> Dr_Willis: & silner: Thanks a lot, it's installing now
[11:53] <bmnpavel> hello there, sorry for bothering u guys, i am totally new at linux.... besides i dont have that much knowledge on computer rather than playing games and net surffin... can anyone help me to find out how i should start learning about ubuntu
[11:54] <overmacht> SirMoo: what lies?
[11:54] <SirMoo> Ha. Sorry. Nothing.
[11:54] <echosystm> does anyone know how to simulate the network autodetection step in the ubuntu installer?
[11:54] <thune3> ShapeShifter499: does it allow you to set printer options
[11:54] <echosystm> thsi found my card, now ive restarted and the system cannot see it
[11:55] <ShapeShifter499> thune3: checking that now one sec
[11:55] <thune3> ShapeShifter499: sounds like the same app in gnome ubuntu
[11:56] <unop> bmnpavel, pick up a book about linux or more specifically ubuntu, practice and play -- hang about in here answering questions, and on the forums, etc
[11:56] <thune3> ShapeShifter499: Printer options "tab" "Printout mode:" selector
[11:56] <ShapeShifter499> thune3: might be idk, this set up is just the default one I got off the ubuntu-alternative disk, with xbuntu packages installed later
[11:57] <thune3> ShapeShifter499: it shows printer? you can right click and select properties?
[11:58] <ShapeShifter499> thune3: ok I got to my printer properties and under Properties>Printer Options>General, there is an option for color model, but the only option there is RGB
[12:00] <thune3> ShapeShifter499: there is no "Printout mode:" option
[12:00] <Flannel> ubuntuselur: You'll have to create a dummy package that "satisfies" the dependency.  http://eric.lubow.org/2010/system-administration/creating-dummy-packages-on-debian/
[12:01] <thune3> ShapeShifter499: ?
[12:01] <ShapeShifter499> thune3: NO
[12:01] <ShapeShifter499> thune3: (sorry caps)
[12:04] <ubuntuselur> Flannel: thanks for that
[12:05] <rethus> i have xubuntu... some time ago, i had install gnome-desktop for testing... there i have choosed a flower as wallpaper...  till 3 weeks i have gnome-desktop removed... but if i start xfce now, the wallpaper (old one from gnoe... the flower) appear for 3-5 seconds... than the normaly xfce wallpaper appera....
[12:05] <rethus> did someone know, where this old wallpaper could be fully disabled?
[12:06] <administrator__> HELLO
[12:08] <amee2k> i'm running rsync -a to upload stuff right now. if i kill that to restart the server, how can i resule the upload at the point where i left off?
[12:08] <red2kic> rethus: is gnome-backgrounds installed?
[12:08] <thune3> ShapeShifter499: i don't see a workaround, but that doesn't mean there isn't one.  all the stuff i see on the net says that a color cartridge must be there to print.
[12:08] <amee2k> resume* lol
[12:08] <rethus> one moment, i've a look
[12:08] <ShapeShifter499> thune3: D=
[12:09] <adalal> hey, im trying to create a script that will run a folder full of files through ffmpeg and dump the output elsewhere with a different extension, how do i go about doing that (how to create the script)?
[12:09] <red2kic> !abs | adalal
[12:10] <rethus> red2kic: no is not installed
[12:10] <red2kic> adalal: It shouldn't take long. You want to do a loop -- command -- etc.
[12:10] <adalal> oh ok thanks
[12:10] <red2kic> rethus: Meh, I don't know. gnome-backgrounds could be where the flower came from.
[12:10] <kad__> hey i'm using Mail Evolution, does anyone know what the IMAP server for hotmail?
[12:10] <thune3> ShapeShifter499: if an empty cartridge is there, and you print just b/w it is supposed to work, though
[12:11] <red2kic> kad__: http://fluentfactory.com/mboxmail-for-mac/
[12:12] <red2kic> kad__: Err, wrong url.
[12:12] <red2kic> kad__: http://email.about.com/od/windowslivehotmailtips/qt/et_izymail.htm -- But that's a bit different
[12:13] <kad__> red2kic, is izymail trusted?
[12:13] <ShapeShifter499> thune3: ya I know, its odd though that a printer would need any cartridge if the print job is not going to use it
[12:13] <red2kic> kad__: I don't know. I use Gmail-App mail + IMAP --> Thunderbird (and postfix).
[12:13] <babba> hello ubuntu !
[12:13] <KalEl> does anyone know if there is a way to turn off the non essential updates? i would be willing to fix the security flaws, but i think it's a bit too much updating big packages like openoffix and the like every now and then
[12:14] <thune3> ShapeShifter499: yeah, well. printers are designed to be a scam and take your money
[12:15] <babba> hello i need browser which operate from terminal
[12:15] <red2kic> babba: lynx ?
[12:15] <red2kic> babba: There are w3m too
[12:15] <babba> red2kic: i don't know any thing about lynx :(
[12:15] <babba> which is easy to use
[12:15] <red2kic> babba: Me either. I use lynx --dump for my scripts.
[12:16] <babba> like elinks dump ?
[12:16] <ShapeShifter499> thune3: I'm just wondering....if the printer can be controlled with a driver, why someone hasn't made a modded driver with a work around yet....
[12:16] <babba> red2kic: ok i will install it
[12:17] <babba> thanks :)
[12:18] <red2kic> babba: "apt-cache search text-mode" might help you a little.
[12:19] <farkgis> salut
[12:19] <babba> cool red2kic
[12:20] <silner> I've heard a lot of praises for elinks babba but I couldn't see what it offered over w3m when I tried it. They both seemed equally good and equally fast. Why do so many people prefer elinks?

[12:28] <daleyb> johskar, have a look at: http://ccollins.wordpress.com/2009/01/06/how-to-change-date-formats-on-ubuntu/ with a combination of the man page for date. You need to use the date formar with %V to use the ISO standards, which will return Monday as day 1.
[12:29] <martez89> hey, how can i install moonlight in ubuntu?
[12:29] <martez89> for chromium I mean
[12:29] <piglit> hello, i have got a old labtop like 1.8GHz P4 only usb1.1 and i want o use a linksys WUSB54GC, in my desktop the usb wifi is detected and i can use it at once but the labtop seems to have some problems i can see it when i do: lsusb but then i dont know what to do next
[12:29] <paddy_> I am on xubuntu and have found out that whenever i lock my screen, transmission stops downloading, is there a way to prevent this?
[12:29] <mossi> martez89 use Ubuntu Tweak
[12:29] <HaCkOr_Aneesh> hey i installed yirtualbox in ubuntu ...  how to start itttt.........................
[12:30] <HaCkOr_Aneesh> \n
[12:30] <daleyb> you should be able to type virtualbox from a terminal window, and it should also be in applications > system tools
[12:31] <paddy_> I am on xubuntu and have found out that whenever i lock my screen, transmission stops downloading, is there a way to prevent this?
[12:31] <martez89> mossi: I have ubuntu tweak
[12:32] <martez89> is it in the app center?
[12:32] <airtonix> martel, http://mono-project.com/DistroPackages/Ubuntu
[12:32] <airtonix> martez89, ^
[12:32] <martez89> I've been there
[12:32] <martez89> I can install the 3.0 beta when I click the link
[12:32] <red2kic> adalal: An example --> for i in "$(ls)" ; do echo "$i" ; done
[12:33] <martez89> but the stable version downloads as an xpi package
[12:33] <airtonix> martez89, http://www.go-mono.com/moonlight/download.aspx
[12:33] <adalal> red2kic: how do i do for i in <list in a file>
[12:33] <ShapeShifter499> thune3: still there?
[12:33] <red2kic> paddy_: I know Transmission-GTK have inhibit feature. I don't know if that works in xfce.
[12:33] <airtonix> martez89, ah its firefox only
[12:34] <red2kic> adalal: $(ls) -- Run the example above. echo just print out files in the directory.
[12:34] <martez89> airtonix: I can install this though: http://go-mono.com/moonlight/prerelease.aspx
[12:34] <paddy_> i dont think it does, i would like to lock the screen and still be downloading my files
[12:34] <adalal> red2kic: oh ok
[12:34] <kad__> can i change the port of smtp at : Mail Evolution ?
[12:34] <piglit> the linksys usb wifi seems to work on my desktop but *not* on my old labtop
[12:34] <piglit> can it be a usb 1.1 thing?
[12:35] <martez89> airtonix, however that doesnt work with what im trying to watch
[12:35] <red2kic> adalal: You will want to change "echo" with the actual command. And as for output, make it "$i.new-format" and perhaps, a different directory.
[12:35] <red2kic> (ie, "$i".mkv ) -- Gotta test things.
[12:36] <airtonix> martez89, you'll have to wait i guess.
[12:36] <adalal> red2kic: can i use multiple for commands like, 'for i in "$(ls)"; for o in "$(cat list.txt)"; do ffmpeg <options> -i $i $o; done' ??
[12:37] <thune3> ShapeShifter499: yeah, what's up
[12:37] <adac> I'm running a live ubutu on a macbook. How to mount the macbook HD?
[12:37] <dali> hello
[12:37] <ShapeShifter499> thune3: found something called IPTool, mind its only windows, but I could(by what I read) reset and mess with the eeprom of my printer, and maybe(haven't looked at it yet) force an b/w mode by tricking it to thinking a color cartridge is there
[12:37] <dali> can anyone help me please
[12:37] <adalal> dali: tell us what you one, instead of asking for help
[12:37] <piglit> lsusb shows the network card but i cant do anything with it
[12:37] <oCean_> dali: just ask your question in channel. Detailed, but on one single line
[12:37] <adalal> want
[12:37] <dali> i would like to see tv from internet with ubuntu. What i must install?
[12:38] <adalal> dali: what service do you want to use?
[12:38] <dali> cable
[12:38] <red2kic> adalal: Best to ask in #bash -- I think you can do multiple commands in one loop go.
[12:38] <thune3> ShapeShifter499: finding a spent cartridge would be easier, and buying a new color cartridge would end up being cheaper!
[12:38] <martez89> how can I watch a windows media player stream in chromium?
[12:38] <ShapeShifter499> thune3: last ditch effort =D
[12:39] <adalal> dali: your cable tv on your computer?
[12:39] <oCean_> martez89: maybe ask in #chromium-support
[12:39] <dali> no only internet
[12:40] <dali> i would like to see from internet like youtube
[12:40] <broy-> dali: apt-get install zattoo
[12:40] <broy-> http://zattoo.com/en/download
[12:40] <adalal> dali: you can use a host of services depending on your need, totem has a youtube plugin, try xbmc and it's plugins
[12:41] <dali> what comand i do?
[12:41] <broy-> but it is almost german  :p
[12:42] <thune3> ShapeShifter499: looks worth a shot, and possibly fun. Something to try before recycling a "junk" printer.
[12:42] <martez89> oCean_: I asked there
[12:43] <adalal> dali: what tv service do you want, and how do you want to set it up, because you can use various programs like mythtv if you want a permanent server setup, xbmc and other programs for tv on your own computer, etc.
[12:43] <echosystm> i need to add some stuff to grub config, where is it?
[12:43] <echosystm> i cant seem to find it
[12:43] <Juniksz> Hello! Please help me. If I connect an external device on the system, then something automatically mounts this, and if I wanna unmount it, I can not do, because it says something still in use.
[12:43] <echosystm> its not in /boot/grub/grub.conf
[12:44] <oCean_> !grub2 | echosystm
[12:44] <Dr_Willis> echosystm:  what are you trying to add exactly?
[12:44] <echosystm> some extra stuff to the kernel line
[12:44] <Dr_Willis> echosystm:  you dont normally edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[12:44] <echosystm> where do i do that now?
[12:44] <airtonix> Juniksz, because something still has it open ...
[12:44] <oCean_> echosystm: grub2 is a lot different from previous grub. See ubottu's link
[12:44] <Dr_Willis> echosystm:  you edit /etc/default/grub or /etc/grub.d/XXXX stuff  read up on the bots link
[12:45] <Juniksz> airtonix: but which application, how can i know that?
[12:45] <airtonix> Juniksz, look through your running applications and check its not having a file open that lives on the external drive
[12:45] <airtonix> Juniksz, open folders might count too
[12:45] <dali> how do i do?
[12:45] <Dr_Willis> dali:  claify exactly what you are wanting to do?
[12:45] <airtonix> Juniksz, and check terminal... maybe you did : cd /path/to/external/drive  ?
[12:46] <Dr_Willis> !info minitube
[12:46] <echosystm> all i want to do is add pci=assign-busses to the kernel line - where do i do this now?
[12:46] <Dr_Willis> echosystm:  you edit /etc/default/grub or /etc/grub.d/XXXX
[12:46] <dali> i would like to see videos on youtube  and must install something to see. what i do
[12:46] <Dr_Willis> echosystm:  that can go in the first config file i mentioned. I think
[12:46] <Juniksz> airtonix: thanks, but do you know how can i disable the auto-mount?
[12:47] <airtonix> why would you want to ?
[12:47] <Dr_Willis> dali:  you tube can do flash, or html5,. install flash for firefox . or google-chrome browser/chromiumn to use html5
[12:47] <Dr_Willis> !flash | dali
[12:47] <thune3> echosystm: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" line in /etc/default/grub  and run update-grub after
[12:48] <Dr_Willis> actually Youtuve can do that webm stuff now. :) but not sure what browser supportes that
[12:48] <dali> other thing. how can i recover my password on ubuntu?
[12:48] <Dr_Willis> dali:  depends on how you lost it.
[12:48] <Dr_Willis> dali:  one way. use rescue/recovery mode and set a new password.
[12:49] <oCean_> !password | dali
[12:49] <xfact> I have gotten critical dbus problem, please help:http://paste.ubuntu.com/449151/

[12:50] <deckerdutil> http://www.dokuwiki.org/2001:da8:c800:a103:1ccb:cc34:962c:bc21
[12:50] <Juniksz> airtonix: if I close all applications then I still can not unmount.
[12:50] <deckerdutil> http://www.dokuwiki.org/2001:da8:c800:a103:1ccb:cc34:962c:bc21
[12:50] <deckerdutil> http://www.dokuwiki.org/2001:da8:c800:a103:1ccb:cc34:962c:bc21
[12:51] <airtonix> Juniksz, ok try this in term : ps -fe | grep /media
[12:51] <echosystm> how do i make apt-get update the kernel too?
[12:51] <oCean_> deckerdutil: STOP spamming
[12:51] <echosystm> it says its holding them back
[12:51] <echosystm> or is it meant to do that?
[12:51] <airtonix> Juniksz, do you see your drive listed in that list ?
[12:51] <Swian> I'm having issues on my Ubuntu installs only printing the first page when I print web pages
[12:51] <nikolam> This Lts update procedure is pile of Sh*IT I got TONS of errors while updating every single package (old LTS to new) and now my system is left in unusable state.
[12:51] <JPP> echosystm, apt-get dist-upgrade
[12:51] <Swian> tried multiple browsers
[12:51] <Swian> any ideas?
[12:51] <nikolam> I am so pissed now
[12:51] <nikolam> not a terminal console works
[12:51] <airtonix> nikolam, drink less vodka
[12:52] <nikolam> airtonix, go to hell
[12:52] <Swian> or drink more
[12:52] <oCean_> nikolam: calm down please. No need to just rant in here
[12:53] <anonymouse_> Swian, have you tried it under Windows?
[12:53] <nikolam> oCean_, it is freakin LTS. It supposedly be stable or whatever
[12:53] <om26er> niko, do clean install and please watch the language
[12:53] <anonymouse_> Swian, maybe it's a problem with the printer itself
[12:53] <om26er> nikolam, do clean install and please watch the language
[12:53] <n8w> hey
[12:53] <Swian> anonymouse, no works under windows
[12:53] <nikolam> om26er, You tell also other guys too
[12:53] <airtonix> nikolam, im already there, and it has a walmart
[12:53] <Juniksz> airtonix: no,no i can not find it there
[12:53] <n8w> how do i find out whether im usin an encrypted swap or not?
[12:53] <Swian> anonymouse also works in mac
[12:54] <oCean_> nikolam: yes, it *should* be stable. I'm not sure what problems you are currently having, but you are most welcome to describe issues here in channel. It's a bit slow atm, though
[12:54] <echosystm> nikolam, i think you will find "LTS" loosely translates to "we have 3 years to make this stable" ;D
[12:54] <airtonix> Juniksz, try in term : sudo umount /media/name-of-your-mount
[12:54] <echosystm> if you dont like it, dont use ubuntu
[12:54] <airtonix> Juniksz, i assume you understand how to find out the mount folder name of the external drive ?
[12:54] <nikolam> oCean_, yes dpkg-split is duying on every SINGLE package install while updating
[12:54] <echosystm> but remember, it will be harder and the packages will be out of date
[12:54] <oCean_> echosystm: those remarks don't make sense. Please refrain from it
[12:55] <nikolam> therefore destroying system in process with quadzilion error messages
[12:55] <JPP> nikolam, why don't you just backup and reinstall?
[12:55] <Tesssa> did you load 9.4 plus all the ubgrades for it then upgrade to 9.10 plus all the upgrades for that then upgrade to 10.4 nikolam
[12:55] <anonymouse_> Swian, what is your printer?
[12:55] <anonymouse_> Swian, model i mean
[12:55] <Juniksz> airtonix: Yep, now i can unmount with sudo and CLI, but do you know, why can not i do in the GUI?
[12:55] <Tesssa> i did and it worked for me ok
[12:55] <nikolam> JPP, it is just great idea. Update should save us from setting all those little bits of tweaking etc.
[12:56] <Swian> anonymouse samsung clp-500n
[12:56] <airtonix> Juniksz, not sure, i'd need to physcially be there to work it out
[12:56] <nikolam> Tesssa, nope, directly from 8.04 to 10.04
[12:56] <Juniksz> airtonix: no matter, thanks everything
[12:56] <nikolam> and it died miserably after downloading packages all day long
[12:56] <Tesssa> do it the way i did and it works nikolam
[12:57] <Tesssa> its a ball ache but worth it
[12:57] <JPP> nikolam, just backup all your data and install from a 10.04 CD. If you start clean, you're sure to fix any problem the system may have
[12:57] <anonymouse_> Swian, when printing under Firefox, Click File > Print, and near the bottom of the Print window, is the button next to "All Pages" selected?
[12:57] <nikolam> Tesssa, i am right now in unusable state. my only option is to boot live cd, backup data and do clean install. And to "thank" unusable LTS update process and dpkg-split package
[12:58] <nikolam> JPP, yes, burning DVD right now.
[12:58] <nikolam> Only thing that actually dies is my believe that LTS is upgradable to next LTS
[12:58] <nikolam> its NOT
[12:58] <Swian> anonymouse, yes, I'm not asking here first, tried all options and googled a bit
[12:59] <JPP> nikolam, could have been a bad sector on your HDD or some other random unpredictable problem. Coputers are NOT perfect ;)
[12:59] <nikolam> JPP, bad chance
[12:59] <multi_io> what's the ubuntu way of switching the system to single-user mode with only / mounted? (i.e. something like "init 1" on other systems)
[12:59] <nikolam> I use soft raid
[12:59] <resqul> i am using the cut command to get a url using lynx, but it seems to be adding a extra line feed ont he end, how can i remove this.
[12:59] <Dr_Willis> multi_io:  it really dosent work that way.  theres the 'rescue/recovery' option in the grub menus thats the closest thing
[13:00] <Tesssa> up to you but the way i eventually did it was the way i just told it nikolam
[13:00] <Dr_Willis> resqul:  pipe the output through tr, or echo -n  perhaps
[13:00] <nikolam> Tesssa, thats becouse not even a terminal can open now on that system. I am writing this from othem (non linux) machine
[13:01] <anonymouse_> Swian, did you try printing a pdf under evince instead?
[13:01] <resqul> Dr_Willis echo -n thanks, there a new command to add to the list
[13:01] <resqul> :-D
[13:01] <alket> I have this problem , Can anybody help : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9454103#post9454103
[13:01] <Dr_Willis> alket:  give a summary of the problem - people tend to not want to go to a web site just to read a problem they may know fix's for.

[13:07] <resqul> i am following a tutorial on how to use lynx, but i can not seem to get this one line of out lynx and into vlc to open. here is what i am trying to run
[13:07] <resqul> lynx --source http://ccmixter.org/view/media/remix | grep "Dance.mp3" | cut -d\' -f4 | echo -n
[13:07] <resqul> but the echo -n removes the whole line, if i just run
[13:07] <resqul> lynx --source http://ccmixter.org/view/media/remix | grep "Dance.mp3" | cut -d\' -f4
[13:07] <a5h15h> now when i try to update the system again..it returns the error...E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[13:07] <a5h15h> E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[13:08] <resqul> it works fine, but i can not seem to pipe that into vlc for some odd reason, i can do it manualy though if i run "vlc -vvv urlhere"
[13:08] <a5h15h> how am i supposed to fix this?
[13:08] <LjL> a5h15h: it might be tough to fix it, but there's someone with a similar problem here: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+question/35534
[13:08] <resqul> a5h15h did you try and run that command? it tells you in the terminal?
[13:09] <a5h15h> resqul, i tried to run the mentioned commmand but it returned this error..dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0035' near line 0:

[13:12] <Obst_> hi
[13:13] <multi_io> Dr_Willis: that grub menu option hangs during bootup here (no login prompt)
[13:13] <bodzilla> a5h15h run sudo apt-get install -f
[13:13] <a5h15h> bodzilla, what would that do?
[13:14] <multi_io> I now manually edited the kernel command line in grub to read sth like ... ro /sbin/init 1
[13:14] <bodzilla> that is another command when you have a broken load
[13:14] <multi_io> that drops me into a console root shell, but still /usr, /var, /home mounted and lots of processes running and useing those filesystems
[13:16] <mnemon> multi_io: do kill -9 -1 and there will be no more extra processes ;)

[13:18] <piyushmishra> oCean_: :P no he is rlly important to this channel wont bug him more
[13:19] <bodzilla> vigo it is used with the dpkg -a command a lot
[13:20] <Vigo> bodzilla: Yes, that -f call is seldom used, but is almost a universal repair call.

[13:23] <ferran> hi to all
[13:23] <resqul> ok anyone have any ideas why this doesnt work:
[13:23] <resqul> lynx --source http://ccmixter.org/view/media/remix | grep "Dance.mp3" | cut -
[13:23] <resqul> d\' -f4 | tr -d '\r\n' | /cygdrive/c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/VideoLAN/VLC/vlc.e
[13:23] <resqul> xe -vvv
[13:23] <FloodBot2> resqul: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:23] <ferran> I'm have a little little incident
[13:23] <ferran> I'm change theme cursos in ubuntu and theme doesn't change
[13:23] <Vigo> Diverdude: Like an ifup ifup
[13:24] <ferran> I'm selecting DMZ black
[13:24] <LjL> resqul: are you sure VLC can take filenames from stdin?
[13:24] <ferran> but principal cursos appear in white
[13:24] <ferran> anyone can help me with this issue?
[13:25] <multi_io> what's the ubuntu way of stopping rsyslogd?
[13:25] <Vigo> mapi__: Is that card in the Hardware section?
[13:25] <resqul> LjL the following commands works fine: "vlc.exe vvv http://ccmixter.org/content/scomber/scomber_-_Shadow_Dance.mp3"
[13:25] <resqul> sorry forget the .exe haha
[13:26] <resqul> vlc vvv http://ccmixter.org/content/scomber/scomber_-_Shadow_Dance.mp3
[13:26] <LjL> resqul: right, but that's not stdin, you're specifying the filename *in the command line* there. in the other one, you're sending it into stdin.
[13:26] <ferran> bye
[13:26] <red2kic> multi_io: "sudo shutdown -h now" should work. If that's not what you're looking for, try "sudo service rsyslog stop"
[13:26] <LjL> resqul: try /cygdrive/c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/VideoLAN/VLC/vlc.exe -vvv
[13:26] <resqul> i see you make a good point there LjL i guess i can not. i thought using the pipe command would append it to the end of the string, i guess this is not the case
[13:26] <binaryme> Diverdude,  in a console do netstat -r  the address under "gateway" will be your router
[13:27] <LjL> resqul: try /cygdrive/c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/VideoLAN/VLC/vlc.exe -vvv $( lynx --sourcehttp://ccmixter.org/view/media/remix | grep "Dance.mp3" | cut -'d\' -f4 | tr -d '\r\n' )
[13:27] <w_a> anybody can give me a hint where to look for backup of the system ubuntu. like win have gost program is ther any program for ubuntu to do that or is it only to copy and tar down some dirs ?
[13:27] <red2kic> multi_io: To point it out, the second command is what you actually want. :P
[13:27] <LjL> resqul: the pipe redirects one command's stdout to another's stdin, it doesn't touch the command line.
[13:27] <red2kic> !backup | w_a
[13:27] <Vigo> multi_io: yes and no, you can alter the call, or log roll, but I would have to look that up again.
[13:27] <red2kic> w_a: Try sbackup, I would advise.
[13:27] <multi_io> red2kic: yeah, thanks
[13:27] <w_a> thanks
[13:28] <resqul> LjL thanks a lot. i will try the second way
[13:28] <multi_io> red2kic: I wasn't sure how process names correspond to service names in the "service" command.
[13:28] <LjL> resqul: putting a command inside $( ) makes it execute and substitute its output for the $() part
[13:28] <multi_io> (apparently they don't at all, really_
[13:28] <maciej_> wypierdalac
[13:28] <maciej_> sorry
[13:29] <red2kic> multi_io: "sudo service rsys[<tab,tab> for autocomplete] stop/start/restart"
[13:29] <a5h15h> resqul, bodzilla,LjL, guys I found a fix for the issue...
[13:29] <a5h15h> went to the directory../var/lib/dpkg/updates/0035..
[13:29] <a5h15h> and removed the the file oo35..
[13:30] <a5h15h> then i ran the command...sudo dpkg --configure -a
[13:30] <a5h15h> update manager is up and running..

[13:35] <Gryllida> Dr_Willis: sudo apt-get install Skype
[13:35] <resqul> if anyone else is interested in what i was trying todo, or has a similar problem i was trying to get the output from lynx (text only web browser), and cut the string up so i could open it with vlc, all from the command line
[13:35] <Gryllida> Dr_Willis IDK what repository but this line should work

[13:36] <didou> Gryllida, that's the graphics card

[13:37] <SirMoo> What would you need to contact the developers for?
[13:38] <resqul> i guessing the $() turns anything inside the "(" and ")" into a temp varible

[13:38] <Gryllida> ikorm: #ubuntu-devel and launchpad (if you want to report an issue)

[13:39] <stenandreas> Hi, could you please advise me a Ubuntu for a netbook. Asus EEE PC 1005HA to be exact
[13:39] <ikorm> And I found another bug.
[13:39] <multi_io> mnemon: ok, that's probably the easier way
[13:39] <iceroot> Dr_Willis: but starting a subshell instead of `` if i am correct
[13:39] <IdleOne> !bugs | ikorm
[13:39] <Dr_Willis> stenandreas:  netbook edition, or normal ubuntu, either will work fine
[13:39] <ikorm> Ok thanks
[13:39] <Dr_Willis> iceroot:  yea some little differance that never have noticed
[13:39] <ikorm> It is regarding fresh install on dell inspirons, after the install they fail to reboot.
[13:39] <JPP> didou, i think "03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 PCI-E Ethernet Controller (rev b0)" is your wireless card
[13:39] <deckerdutil> http://www.dokuwiki.org/03:00
[13:39] <Gryllida> didou if not line 2 then there isn't a graphics card in your paste  http://fpaste.org/ujPr/
[13:40] <ikorm> Anywway I will try #ubuntu-devel.
[13:40] <ikorm> Thank you so much guys!

[13:40] <stenandreas> Dr_Willis: I tried to install the netbook edition, but it did not let me install from flash drive
[13:40] <Gryllida> !flash
[13:40] <Dr_Willis> stenandreas:  odd. ive installed netbook edition from flash drive befor
[13:40] <Gryllida> err
[13:41] <didou> jpp isn't that the ethernet card ?
[13:41] <Dr_Willis> Gryllida:  i just right click on the link and select open
[13:41] <Gryllida> !install |  stenandreas
[13:41] <samfreed> running lucid, openoffice silently fails. HELP!
[13:41] <didou> jpp or it may be integrated within the same card?
[13:41] <stenandreas> okay, thanks, ill come back if i run into problems again
[13:41] <oCean_>  Gryllida: (reposted:) <ctrl><left-mouse-click> will open link in firefox. More info: see this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-terminal/+bug/507109

[13:41] <samfreed> This is new in the last day or two!
[13:42] <Dr_Willis> Gryllida:  see what oCean_  said.
[13:42] <luka1> !?
[13:42] <Gryllida> oCean_ looking now, sorry that I didn't see it first time
[13:42] <IdleOne> Gryllida: ctrl+click thanks oCean_ :)
[13:42] <JPP> didou, not sure but i googled it and I think it's a gigabit LAN and WLAN card
[13:42] <luka1> !webcam
[13:42] <odt> how do I map a mouse button in ubuntu to control volume?
[13:42] <JPP> so yes, both in the same card didou
[13:43] <Gryllida> oCean_, IdleOne, Thank you very much.
[13:43] <odt> I hae a keybinding maped currently, and it works fine. I think the easiest would be to send the same keybinding when the mousebutton is pushed
[13:43] <didou> ok thanks jpp for confirming this, that's what i thought too
[13:43] <JPP> no problem didou :)
[13:43] <IdleOne> Gryllida: I just learned it myself from oCean_ :)
[13:43] <oCean_> Gryllida: IdleOne yay :)
[13:44] <didou> i'll google how to get it to work and ubuntu and post back in case i can't solve it :)
[13:44] <JPP> okay :)

[13:50] <Dr_Willis> !manual | amy_

[13:52] <amy_> IdleOne, Yes and then?
[13:52] <IdleOne> in the Applications menu
[13:52] <Dr_Willis> then run the program. :)

[13:56] <IdleOne> amy_: 8.04 does not have the Software Center iirc. Go to System > Admin > Synaptic Package Manager

[13:56] <amy_> IdleOne, Ok, and then what do I do?
[13:56] <IdleOne> amy_: type in the search box : youtube

[13:57] <IdleOne> amy_: select the box next to youtube-dl and click apply
[13:57] <amy_> IdleOne: ok
[13:57] <IdleOne> amy_: note that youtube-dl is a command line application so there is no GUI
[13:57] <darko3d> im getting this when trying to login with the kde option Could not start ksmserver. Check installation. what might be the problem

[14:02] <Vigo> amy_: It is not Ubuntu, but it is a pretty nice graphical thingy from Mozilla, I use to use it on 8.04.
[14:02] <amy_> hm... I'm not familar with the proceedure
[14:02] <term_oldcomp1> got a lcm-20v5 monitor that the nvidia driver refuses to recognize over 1024.  I've tried modifying xorg to include 1400x1050 and it won't do it.  is there a way to force it or have it not use edid?    already have IgnoreEDID in xorg.conf
[14:02] <darko3d> rhodan: what?
[14:02] <darko3d> im getting this when trying to login with the kde option using ubuntu, Could not start ksmserver. Check installation. what might be the problem
[14:03] <amy_> Do I just type in the URL address onto the terminal line to download the classical music
[14:03] <cyborgsmurf> amy_: from drop-down menu, Places-Computer, then File System/tmp
[14:03] <slow-motion> hi
[14:04] <amy_> What?
[14:04] <Captain_Derp> just installed 10.04 to dual boot with a pre-existing vista installation, when i select vista in GRUB it does a hard reset. google turns up nothing afaics. also, for some reason it calls vista "Vista (Recovery)" or something like that. anyone encountered this before / have any ideas?
[14:04] <amy_> I don't know what to do after when I typed in youtube-dl in to the terminal
[14:05] <cyborgsmurf> amy_: or www.mozilla.com (click add-ons, search "Downloadhelper")
[14:05] <term_oldcomp1> Captain_Derp:  known bug.  try to run the Update Manager for Ubuntu.
[14:06] <Captain_Derp> term_oldcomp1: kthx, will try that
[14:06] <IdleOne> amy_: the coomand to use with youtube-dl is: youtube-dl http://www.THE-LINK_YOU_WANT_TO_DL.com
[14:06] <IdleOne> command*
[14:07] <root> f
[14:07] <cyborgsmurf> anyone in here who knows where to get free sounds for Schism Tracker (its like Impulse Tracker)
[14:07] <amy_> IdleOne, that website link don't work
[14:07] <aalp> any native english speakers here???
[14:07] <aalp> is it "0 minute" or "0 minutes"?
[14:07] <daleyb> <
[14:07] <IdleOne> amy_: of course not that is an example link I am giving you
[14:07] <IdleOne> amy_: replace that link with the actual link
[14:07] <Vigo> amy_: Here is the Manual Page on youtube-dl:> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man1/youtube-dl.1.html
[14:07] <amy_> oh ok
[14:07] <cyborgsmurf> aalp: try www.sharedtalk.com
[14:08] <daleyb> minutes
[14:08] <Captain_Derp> term_oldcomp1: says my system is completely up to date.  I have been using s3fox but it seems to be unstable

[14:09] <Captain_Derp> ubutom_: well this is a vista install. I did delete all the pointless dell recovery partitions though
[14:09] <cyborgsmurf> aalp: change languege
[14:09] <amy_> IdleOne, after the download is finished, what do I do?
[14:10] <darko3d> some one please help me
[14:10] <IdleOne> amy_: The video will be saved to the file "foobar.flv" in that example. Many
[14:10] <IdleOne>        YouTube.com videos are in Flash Video format and their extension would
[14:10] <IdleOne>        be "flv". Other videos are encoded in H.264 and these usually have the
[14:10] <IdleOne>        extension "mp4".  In Linux and other unices, video players using a
[14:10] <IdleOne>        recent version of ffmpeg can play them. That includes MPlayer, VLC,
[14:10] <FloodBot2> IdleOne: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:10] <IdleOne>        xine, among others.
[14:10] <ubutom_> Captain_Derp, can only speak for Win7, it creates a partition called system reserved and in that appearently the bootloader resides, maybe you deletet that, think Vista uses the same bootloader
[14:11] <IdleOne> sorry folks
[14:11] <IdleOne> Proof that even the #ubuntu ops are human
[14:11] <amy_> Ok
[14:11] <ubutom_> Captain_Derp, you could boot from the vista disc and let it restore mbr, but you will ahve to reinstall grub after that as well
[14:11] <amy_> but where would it be saved to?
[14:11] <amy_> would it be saved to the desktop?
[14:11] <IdleOne> amy_: run the command: man youtube-dl for more info
[14:12] <red2kic> amy_: Where you ran the command in the terminal.  You're not sure? Just run "pwd" and it'll show you the path.
[14:12] <cyborgsmurf> amy_: at first yes... then you can save it elsewhere
[14:12] <Captain_Derp> term_oldcomp1, ubutom_~:
[14:12] <IdleOne> amy_: probably in ~/Downloads
[14:12] <Captain_Derp> term_oldcomp1, ubutom_: well this looks like it's going to be fun... thx for the info
[14:12] <amy_> where is the folder ~/Downloads?
[14:13] <term_oldcomp1> Captain_Derp:  follow the vista side of the instructions.  you can fix grub later
[14:13] <iceroot> amy_: ~ is always pointing to the home directory of the current user
[14:13] <emzic> hello, i have a problem creating a bootable ubuntu CD
[14:13] <IdleOne> amy_: click on Places > Home Folder and it should be in that folder
[14:13] <iceroot> amy_: so ~/Downloads is /home/yourusername/Downloads
[14:13] <emzic> i am using win7s burn iso feature, but the CD just doesnt boot
[14:13] <emzic> other bootable CD work fine though
[14:14] <jgonza9600> New to this

[14:14] <agerlos> hey
[14:14] <term_oldcomp1> emzic:  might want to check to see if the md5 sum is correct.  which burning software are you using?
[14:14] <Vigo> !.iso | emzic
[14:14] <IdleOne> amy_: http://ubuntu-manual.org/ is a very good book for beginners to Ubuntu and makes for a great reference guide also it is FREE
[14:14] <amy_> Ok, I have downloaded the file but there is no sound
[14:14] <emzic> term_oldcomp1: i used win7s burn iso fueture
[14:14] <agerlos> what video editor is good?
[14:15] <term_oldcomp1> emzic:  try either imgburn or deepburner instead
[14:15] <cyborgsmurf> amy_: you probably need a codec
[14:15] <Vigo> oh whoops, that was the wrong one....
[14:15] <hannes815> thanks everybody. bye
[14:15] <emzic> ok
[14:15] <emzic> and where can i find the MD5 of the isos?
[14:15] <amy_> codec? ok. where is the codec?
[14:15] <amy_> And I am not sure if I have a codec installed
[14:15] <cyborgsmurf> amy_: try VLC
[14:15] <term_oldcomp1> emzic:  already part of it.  software will check it usually
[14:16] <IdleOne> amy_: sudo apt-get install vlc. You will find VLC in Applications > Sound and Video after it is installed. you can then open the file you downloaded and it should play with sound
[14:16] <orlok> Can anybody recommend some software for capturing images/movies via a webcam with linux that allows control over exposure, etc?
[14:16] <Vigo> amy_: And you may want to look at this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/BluRayAndHDDVD
[14:16] <agerlos> where can  i find kdenlive tutorials?
[14:16] <cyborgsmurf> IdleOne: thank you

[14:18] <amy_> ?
[14:19] <JPP> imbeowulf, give a brief description fo your problem please. Some people won't bother looking at your thread and they might even have a fix for you :)
[14:20] <IdleOne> amy_: hmmm now you would need to encode the video you download to mp3 format but I don't know how to do that
[14:20] <imbeowulf> Laptop goes into "Suspend" automatically when the powercord is unplugged. After that it can't awaken from "Suspend-mode" and has to be rebooted. lshw: http://paste.lighttpd.net/1119 //\\ dmesg: http://paste.lighttpd.net/1118
[14:20] <Cato37> hello. i installed kubuntu, but noone seems to be in the kubuntu room. i installed kubuntu on my year and a half old laptop because vista keeps crashing but i have no idea what the kubuntu manual is talking about half the time. in order to install the former backed up files i need to install winrar. i went to the winrar site and dled the winrar for linux and it dled as a gz file, but i dont know how to install it to the ox.
[14:20] <Cato37> *os
[14:20] <amy_> IdleOne: Ok, so I need to convert it back to mp3 format?
[14:20] <IdleOne> amy_: I really don't know
[14:20] <amy_> ok
[14:21] <amy_> does anyone else know how to do that?
[14:21] <IdleOne> amy_: right now you should have a .flv file correct?
[14:21] <cyborgsmurf> amy_: try Ubuntu Software Center and search "MP3 converter"
[14:21] <amy_> ok
[14:21] <IdleOne> cyborgsmurf: she is running 8.04. no software center
[14:21] <IdleOne> Synaptic she does have :)
[14:21] <amy_> IdleOne, yes it is now in .flv file
[14:21] <ubutom_> Cato37, you should have unrar installed by default
[14:22] <cyborgsmurf> IdleOne: oh...
[14:22] <Cato37> how do i activate unrar?
[14:22] <term_oldcomp1> Cato37:  Try the Ubuntu Software Center.  Otherwise you'll have nothing but headaches getting software installed.
[14:22] <IdleOne> !unrar | Cato37
[14:22] <amy_> cyborgsmurf: I have tried searching for that but nothing came up
[14:22] <Gryllida> sudo apt-get install unrar
[14:22] <Gryllida> ?
[14:23] <Gryllida> not sure
[14:23] <cyborgsmurf> amy_: you might need to get a software called OggConvert
[14:23] <Cato37> thanx. also i have foxit (a pdf reader) dled. how do i install it?
[14:23] <term_oldcomp1> Cato37:  There's also Software Management under Kubuntu
[14:23] <IdleOne> cyborgsmurf: .flv is video file. amy_ just wants the sound from the file in .mp3
[14:23] <amy_> OggConvert
[14:23] <ubutom_> Cato37, that is iwndows software, there are many pdf viewers in linux
[14:24] <red2kic> ubutom_: rar + unrar are not part of the default packages.
[14:24] <cyborgsmurf> IdleOne: aha, I see
[14:24] <ubutom_> red2kic, it's installed on my machine and didn't install it
[14:24] <nehyx> Cato37: OpenOffice can do it
[14:24] <loopidity> how to connect to a mac from ubuntu ?
[14:24] <ubutom_> red2kic, though it is ubuntu and not kubuntu
[14:24] <term_oldcomp1> Cato37:  Why bother?  Kubuntu comes with Okular
[14:25] <EgyParadox> loopidity: Please explain the situation.
[14:25] <ubutom_> red2kic, rar isn't installed here
[14:25] <term_oldcomp1> Cato37:   This is not Windows
[14:25] <EgyParadox> and what you want exactly.
[14:25] <ubutom_> red2kic, just unrar
[14:25] <loopidity> i want to get some files from my friend's mac
[14:25] <loopidity> he is far away
[14:25] <Cato37> i know its not window. lol; the learning curve is pretty steep, and i am having difficulty learning the lingo.
[14:26] <nehyx> loopidity: What do you mean with 'connect'? See his desktop? Send files from mac to Ubuntu?
[14:26] <red2kic> ubutom_: Okay. You probably don't remember installing unrar. I know I install lot of packages I forget about.
[14:26] <term_oldcomp1> sorry, I'm grumpy this morning
[14:26] <loopidity> get files from his mac to my ubuntu
[14:26] <amy_> is there a .flv convert to .mp3?
[14:26] <Cato37> can someone recommend a good book about kubuntu 10.04?
[14:26] <red2kic> loopidity: Tell your friend to upload to DropBox or similar accounts if the files are understandably small.
[14:26] <nehyx> loopidity: Did you try using bluetooth, pendrive, any web host...?
[14:26] <EgyParadox> amy_: .flv is video , .mp3 is audio
[14:26] <EgyParadox> as far as I know.
[14:27] <EgyParadox> or flash I guess.
[14:27] <sled> hello
[14:27] <nehyx> epYes, .flv is flash video
[14:27] <ubutom_> red2kic, I doubt that, system is 3 days old and I never typed in sudo aptitude install rar or unrar, but unrar is installed, rar not, so I presume it was preinstalled, or some package needed it, like the restriced package
[14:27] <mike_the_tech> hello
[14:27] <sled> how can I turn on my dead keys like circumflex? I have Switzerland/German keyboard layout
[14:27] <yoyoned> Cato37: good start http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/index_main.html
[14:27] <nehyx> EgyParadox: .flv is flash video, you're right
[14:27] <loopidity> i was hoping if there was a better option than ftp (we are very far)
[14:28] <cesc> hi. I'm a newbie on ubuntu/linux in general. What's the equivalent to cd.. in ubuntu?
[14:28] <term_oldcomp1> https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/kubuntu/desktopguide/C/index.html
[14:28] <ubutom_> cesc, its just that :D
[14:28] <loopidity> cesc cd
[14:28] <amy_> EgyParagox: I know that, I only just want to convert it back to audio format
[14:28] <nehyx> cesc: cd = change directory? cd too
[14:28] <ubutom_> cesc, but with a space
[14:28] <ubutom_> cd ..
[14:28] <yoyoned> Cato37: you should try to use the linux aplications instead of the ones you know from windows.
[14:28] <EgyParadox> amy_: Convert from mp3 to flv?
[14:29] <cesc> yeah but cd.. (with 2 dots) doesn't work.
[14:29] <nehyx> amy_: Install from synaptic ffmpeg and winff
[14:29] <amy_> EgyParadox: No, flv to mp3
[14:29] <yoyoned> cesc: you need a space cd ..
[14:29] <cesc> ohh I see.
[14:29] <nehyx> !winff | amy_
[14:29] <cesc> thanks a lot
[14:29] <jgonza9600> Whats the command to copy a file?
[14:29] <nehyx> !info winff | amy_
[14:29] <amy_> nehyx: which shall I install, the ffmpeg or winff?
[14:29] <ubutom_> jgonza9600, cp
[14:30] <term_oldcomp1> An Ubuntu guide:  http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Lucid
[14:30] <deckerdutil> http://www.dokuwiki.org/Ubuntu:Lucid
[14:30] <red2kic> jgonza9600: cp fileName newFileName
[14:30] <jgonza9600> I mean, copy it and paste it somewhere else
[14:30] <nehyx> amy_: ffmpeg is the library, winff is GUI
[14:30] <red2kic> jgonza9600: Use keyboard shortcut (ie CTRL + C ; CTRL + V)
[14:30] <amy_> nehyx: so I need to install both of those?
[14:30] <jgonza9600> Like win?
[14:30] <nehyx> amy_: Yes
[14:30] <cyborgsmurf> amy_: try this http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/2719/how-to-convert-video-files-formats-to-mp3-with-vlc/
[14:30] <IdleOne> no install wiff and it will also install ffmpeg

[14:34] <amy_> or is it that I have the older version
[14:34] <cyborgsmurf> amy_: which version is it?
[14:35] <amy_> i don't know which version but how do i find out
[14:35] <ubutom_> windows or linux, everyone should use what works best for them
[14:35] <ubutom_> I use windows to play games  mostly :)
[14:35] <Kully> IdleOne and ubottu thank you I will check that out now
[14:35] <JackStoner> ubutom_, same :P
[14:35] <cyborgsmurf> amy_: help-menu (in VLC) about
[14:35] <Vigo> amy_: you are using 8.04
[14:35] <term_oldcomp1> same here.  I fairly much play one game on windows.  allods online.  unless I play freedoom or serious sam that is
[14:35] <IdleOne> cyborgsmurf: Version 0.8.6.release.e+x264svn20071224+faad2.6.1-0ubuntu3.3 for VLC in 8.04
[14:36] <jgonza9600> ubutom: Unfortunately, Win is our business platform of choice
[14:36] <JackStoner> hey, how does one search packages with apt-get?? im kinda used to aptitude but i wanna try out apt-get
[14:36] <ubutom_> JackStoner, yeah, If I wouldn't play occasionally I could get rid of my windows machine :)
[14:36] <mnemon> jgonza9600: what kind of systems are you running?
[14:36] <jgonza9600> and 90% of the globe
[14:36] <IdleOne> JackStoner: apt-cache search package
[14:36] <cyborgsmurf> IdleOne: darn... Thanks
[14:36] <Gryllida> JackStoner use them in same way.
[14:36] <cesc> guys I want to install mythtv on ubuntu... and I've  found there is a distro called mythbuntu (based on ubuntu). Should I install this mythbuntu distro in a separate partition or install mythtv on lucid?
[14:36] <mnemon> jgonza9600: depends really, in webservers etc. linux is teh master ;)
[14:36] <amy_> all i know is this:  Compiler: gcc version 4.2.4 (Ubuntu 4.2.4-1ubuntu3).
[14:36] <JackStoner> Thanks IdleOne and Gryllida
[14:36] <jgonza9600> memon: Heterogeneous environment
[14:37] <amy_> I suspect that is the version of the VLC player
[14:37] <term_oldcomp1> Kubuntu tip of the day:  If a notification pops up you can view it at any time by click on the i icon on the lower left part of the screen on the taskbar.
[14:37] <jgonza9600> mem: No webservers
[14:37] <cyborgsmurf> amy_: it is probably displayed beside the name VLC
[14:37] <IdleOne> amy_: you can use: apt-cache policy vlc and that will return the version of installed package, in this case vlc
[14:37] <Cato37> thanks. the info circle icon
[14:38] <deckerdutil> http://www.dokuwiki.org/2001:da8:c800:a103:1ccb:cc34:962c:bc21
[14:38] <amy_> IdleOne, well how do i do that then?
[14:38] <IdleOne> amy_: in terminal :)
[14:38] <amy_> IdleOne, yea and then?
[14:38] <term_oldcomp1> to me Kubuntu is more refined and bug fixed than Ubuntu main
[14:38] <IdleOne> amy_: apt-cache policy vlc
[14:39] <jgonza9600> How do I drop back a directory?
[14:39] <IdleOne> jgoldschrafe: cd ..

[14:39] <term_oldcomp1> jgonza9600:  drop back as in?  you mean commandline?  cd .. or cd \
[14:39] <jgonza9600> thanks
[14:39] <amy_> IdleOne, I have done that, what next
