[12:40] <cwillu> GenericBox, yes, works pretty much the same way
[12:40] <DEViUS> cwillu: i configured all that but it never works
[12:40] <GenericBox> Yep just found it
[12:41] <vigo> GenericBox: Yes you can and it is really a much easier process.
[12:41] <GenericBox> cool. time to go fiddle :)
[12:41] <DEViUS> cwillu: i know its ""supposed"" to work, but its not :S ?
[12:41] <GenericBox> cyas
[12:41] <abdullah> did you use windows before useing ubuntu
[12:41] <chinmaya> anyone- if we use rm command to remove any file where does it go?? It is not in recyclebin ??
[12:41] <cwillu> chinmaya, rm (and del in windows) is permanent and immediate
[12:41] <DEViUS> Hi, i need help with my laptop, when i close the lid it never blanks, stand by's, hybernates OR anything no matter what it do???.....pliz help
[12:42] <abdullah> you mean in the terminal
[12:42] <shadeslayer> DEViUS: '/usr/share/applications/gnome-power-preferences.desktop'
[12:42] <DEViUS> shadeslayer: what about it :S ?
[12:42] <cwillu> shadeslayer, he was already looking at it
[12:43] <Guest36519> when i try to play video on facebook, i get following error: Flash Player upgrade required! I tried to install the latest versions of flash couple of time, but this error is still there. On other video sites like youtube, videos are playing fine!
[12:43] <shadeslayer> cwillu: are you helping him??
[12:43] <chinmaya> anyone- if we use rm command to remove any file where does it go?? It is not in recyclebin ??
[12:43] <shadeslayer> chinmaya: its deleted
[12:44] <cwillu> shadeslayer, no, I just read what he said when I told him to go to the exact same place :;
[12:44] <cwillu> :p
[12:44] <shadeslayer> oh...
[12:44] <DEViUS> so ppl....
[12:44] <DEViUS> btw am using a UNR
[12:44] <cwillu> DEViUS, normally when the lid is closed, the backlight is turned off by hardware (i.e., the os can detect that it's closed, but it's not responsible for the backlight itself)
[12:44] <cwillu> DEViUS, which makes me suspect a hardware fault in the switch
[12:44] <jamiewan> chinmaya: see cwillu coment above a few lines
[12:45] <shadeslayer> DEViUS: sudo apt-get install gnome-power-manager;gnome-power-manager
[12:45] <Guest36519> when i try to play video on facebook, i get following error: Flash Player upgrade required! I tried to install the latest versions of flash couple of time, but this error is still there. On other video sites like youtube, videos are playing fine!
[12:46] <cwillu> chinmaya, rm (and del in windows) is permanent and immediate.  The file is simply gone (i.e., same thing as what happens after you empty the trash)

[12:46] <ohir> vivek can you read "No such file or directory "?
[12:46] <ohir> oops
[12:46] <indus> sudo dpkg -i <package name> v/s sudo apt-get install whats the diff
[12:46] <cwillu> indus, apt-get will download the package, and will also install any packages it depends on
[12:46] <indus> gdebi and synaptic both do the same?
[12:46] <shadeslayer> indus: dpkg searches for packages in /var/cache , apt-get downloads
[12:46] <cwillu> indus, dpkg -i just installs that one package
[12:47] <shadeslayer> indus: + and installs the package
[12:47] <indus> cwillu: aah it does check for dependencies but doesnt download them
[12:47] <indus> shadeslayer: cwillu: i always thought this was a good question to ask ;)
[12:47] <Phil_26> Hi. I'm currently trying to build the latest kernel in 9.04. At one place, I am tell that I can change the kernel revision : Note: You can replace "386" with anything you want. Like "k7" or "686.". I was wondering what to use at this place. I'm currently running the 64 bits version with a Core2Duo.
[12:48] <amerj> hi, i have a strange problem, i started my pc I found English language is lost !! and my keyboard is only writing Arabic, can't switch the language, even in run level 1, do u have any idea?
[12:48] <sivel> hello all
[12:48] <cwillu> Phil_26, just an fyi, there are mainline kernel builds already available
[12:48] <indus> shadeslayer: cwillu:also ,after gdebi installs it,it does list in synaptic later,so does that mean if i uninstall from synaptic,it will remove dependencies also?
[12:48] <cwillu> Phil_26, http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
[12:48] <indus> tough question ?
[12:48] <shadeslayer> indus: yep
[12:48] <indus> :D
[12:48] <cwillu> indus, not generally, although there are options to clean up unused dependencies
[12:49] <sivel> ive added nm-applet & to my fluxbox startup, and it connects fine, but hteres no icon on the panel, what am i doing wrong?
[12:49] <vigo> chinmaya: here and other places: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/tools.html#quinn-diff
[12:49] <indus> apt-get clean?
[12:49] <cwillu> no, that's something else ;p
[12:49] <shadeslayer> indus: no... sudo apt-get install deborphan; sudo apt-get --purge remove `deborphan`
[12:49] <shadeslayer> indus: or the janitor thingy in 9.04
[12:49] <cwillu> indus, (and shadeslayer) sudo apt-get autoremove
[12:50] <cwillu> --purge is something else again :p
[12:50] <indus> cwillu: shadeslayer:i think shadeslayer is right here. deborphan removes teh debs we install with gdebi?
[12:50] <cwillu> indus, (and shadeslayer) clean (and autoclean) are just about deleting the deb files themselves, not related to the installed files
[12:50] <Mike_lifeguard> To resize partitions, they need to be unmounted, right? Can you safely unmount them while logged in, or do I need to get a gparted live cd or something?
[12:50] <indus> cwillu: i think ill use janitor :P
[12:51] <DEViUS> shadeslayer; hardware fault is not suspected cause 1) its new 2) it works under windows
[12:51] <cwillu> indus, open a terminal, type "man apt-get" and then "/autoremove" and be enlightened :p
[12:51] <shadeslayer> DEViUS: ??
[12:51] <DEViUS> shadeslayer; and gnomepower manager is installed
[12:51] <DEViUS> shadeslayer;  what ??
[12:51] <unop> sivel, does it start up ok when invoked from the terminal?
[12:51] <shadeslayer> DEViUS: oh..do you see a batteru icon in the top panel?
[12:51] <pale> can i have two difernet version of graphic card drivers on two diferent kernels, i dont wana compile drivers every time when i boot up into other kernel
[12:51] <DEViUS> shadeslayer;  yes
[12:51] <sivel> yes it does
[12:52] <cwillu> indus, (and shadeslayer) --purge is for removing the residual config files (i.e., stuff in /etc), and is unrelated to dependencies
[12:52] <shadeslayer> DEViUS: then right click on it and set everything according to your prefrences
[12:52] <DEViUS> shadeslayer;  i did and it still no working
[12:52] <DEViUS> shadeslayer;  :P
[12:52] <unop> sivel, there might be something wrong with it when invoked from the startup script then .. what I would do is log the startup script and have a look there
[12:53] <sivel> how do i do that?
[12:53] <cwillu> DEViUS, you're not running an alpha of 9.10 by any chance are you?
[12:53] <shadeslayer> DEViUS: strange...how about sudo apt-get install kpowermanager;kpowermanager
[12:54] <unop> sivel,  at the top of the script, put this line in    exec > /tmp/startup.log 2>&1
[12:54] <Q-FUNK> is there any way to configure gvfs NOT to show dot files? the gtk2 file selector suddenly decided to show all dot files, which is rather annoying.
[12:54] <cwillu> Q-FUNK, hit ctrl-h
[12:54] <unop> sivel, log out and log back in .. when done, have a look in /tmp/startup.log
[12:54] <cwillu> or right click and deselect show hidden files
[12:54] <stuckey> Hello
[12:54] <sivel> okay, doing it now thanks
[12:54] <Q-FUNK> cwillu: that did the trick.  thanks!  is this documented anywhere?
[12:55] <stuckey> Can I install ubuntu onto a logical volume? The hard disk is full, the logical volume in question has been extended to cover the entire disk.
[12:55] <cwillu> Q-FUNK, probably :p
[12:55] <Q-FUNK> ;)
[12:56] <unop> stuckey, yes, linux doesn't mind what type of partition it is installed on
[12:56] <indus> how to get nick in bold
[12:56] <stuckey> unop: So what do I select when I'm in the partition editor?
[12:56] <indus> unop: what do u mean? it does mind
[12:56] <unop> stuckey, this partition in question
[12:56] <indus> or maybe i got the question wrong
[12:56] <cwillu> DEViUS, open a terminal, run acpi_listen, and then close and reopen the lid
[12:57] <stuckey> unop: But won't that overwrite what's already on it???
[12:57] <shadeslayer> indus: just use tab complete,you automatically get highlightrd
[12:57] <shadeslayer> *highlighted
[12:57] <indus> indus:
[12:57] <unop> stuckey, it will indeed
[12:57] <shadeslayer> !tab | indus
[12:57] <indus> hmm?
[12:57] <stuckey> unop: see, I don't want to do that. I want to keep what's on the logical volume
[12:57] <cwillu> stuckey, yes it will.  The installer has another option though, to resize the existing partition to make room
[12:57] <shadeslayer> indus: now?
[12:57] <indus> ya i dont get it
[12:57] <stuckey> cwillu: Will that work without destroying data?
[12:57] <cwillu> stuckey, "installing to a logical partition" doesn't mean "install to a file inside that partiton"
[12:57] <unop> stuckey, you'll need to make a new partition then .. resize one so you have enough free space
[12:57] <anr78> anyone running Ubuntu on one of the later MacBook Pro's that can tell me if temperature is still an issue?
[12:57] <cwillu> stuckey, yes, although a power failure during that process is fatal
[12:58] <stuckey> cwillu: So it's safe unless I have a power failure?
[12:58] <cwillu> stuckey, depending on the size of the partition, it can take a few hours, and there's no real progress indication midway through)
[12:58] <shadeslayer> indus: its magic!! :P
[12:58] <stuckey> cwillu: it's 550GB
[12:58] <indus> shadeslayer: please tell me
[12:58] <cwillu> stuckey, like most things that involve shuffling large amounts of data on the disk, it's safe if you have backups or are breave
[12:58] <cwillu> s/breave/brave/
[12:59] <indus> stuckey: unless an asteroid hits the earth,you wont have any problems
[12:59] <cwillu> ugh
[12:59] <cwillu> don't say that
[12:59] <cwillu> stuckey, in principle it will just work, but you _really_ should have backups
[12:59] <shadeslayer> indus: type shade and then use tab to complete nick and then type something
[12:59] <DEViUS> cwillu: no it ubuntu netbook remix 8.04, on an HP Mini 2140
[12:59] <indus> shadeslayer:  crap
[12:59] <cwillu> DEViUS, what does that have to do with my instructions?
[12:59] <stuckey> So it's okay to resize a partition with LVM on it?
[12:59] <indus> hmm nothing seemed to happen
[12:59] <stuckey> It has one logical volume on it.
[12:59] <cwillu> DEViUS, open a terminal, run acpi_listen, and then close and reopen the lid
[13:00] <shadeslayer> indus: -.-
[13:00] <DEViUS> cwillu: u asked if i was running an alpha
[13:00] <indus> shadeslayer: test ping ignore
[13:00] <DEViUS> cwillu: ill do that
[13:00] <indus> shadeslayer: smfkkff]ff;]q[jfcq
[13:00] <cwillu> DEViUS, oh, heh, that was a long time ago :p
[13:00] <indus> damn!
[13:00] <indus> !damn
[13:00] <DEViUS> lol
[13:00] <Pici> indus: stop
[13:00] <indus> ok mod angry
[13:00] <indus> !lvm
[13:01] <DEViUS> cwillu: battery C1C0 00000081 00000001 "thats the output i get"
[13:01] <pale> can i have two difernet version of graphic card drivers on two diferent kernels, i dont wana compile drivers every time when i boot up into other kernel
[13:01] <indus> its a good question,how do you install ubuntu on an LVM
[13:01] <cwillu> DEViUS, and that happened when you closed the lid, or before?
[13:01] <indus> pale: yes you can i think i had it once
[13:01] <DEViUS> cwillu: when i closed
[13:01] <cwillu> DEViUS, that's cute
[13:02] <pale> indus, pls tell me
[13:02] <mbnoimi> hi all, I want to know how I can install fonts to my OS?
[13:02] <DEViUS> cwillu: xD,  i dont think so
[13:02] <Pici> !font| mbnoimi
[13:02] <indus> pale: i dont remember exactly,but i couldnt boot into higher kernel cos i fiddled with X,so i booted into lower with intact X drivers
[13:02] <pale> indus, copy modules form existing working kernel to a nwe kernnel but i doen't work
[13:03] <indus> pale: i used restricted drivers to change driver for each kernel . cool ha:)
[13:03] <cwillu> DEViUS, two things to try, one riskier than the other
[13:03] <cwillu> DEViUS, apparently there's a bios update that might (_might_) fix it
[13:04] <DEViUS> cwillu: oh wAw, how not nice
[13:04] <DEViUS> cwillu: how bad could the damage be?
[13:04] <Suhar> st
[13:04] <Suhar> list
[13:04] <cwillu> DEViUS, alternatively (and far safer), you can download a 2.6.30 kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ , which might also fix it
[13:04] <indus> pale: i had this issue with hardy, was trying to get 180 driver,but wont load X,so used 177 for lower kernel
[13:04] <cwillu> DEViUS, honestly, I'd try the 2.6.30 kernel, and forget I even mentioned the bios update :p
[13:04] <indus> whaats teh command to join a server on irc
[13:04] <DEViUS> cwillu: is the bbios update from hp
[13:04] <DEViUS> cwillu: or from ???
[13:05] <cwillu> DEViUS, a random blog comment
[13:05] <cwillu> again, try the kernel first :p
[13:05] <cwillu> if it works, everything should just work
[13:05] <erieslabnx1> in order to add a nic card to my ubuntu machine, all I should have to do is go to /etc/network/interfaces and add the line 'auto eth0' then restart network?
[13:05] <DEViUS> cwillu: ok
[13:05] <Suhar> а то гном лагает сильно
[13:06] <cwillu> !ru
[13:06] <erUSUL> erieslabnx1: you need an aditional line configuring the eth0
[13:06] <Suhar> thanks
[13:06] <Suhar> sossy
[13:06] <Suhar> sorry
[13:06] <erUSUL> erieslabnx1: or just use network manager
[13:06] <mbnoimi> كيف بإمكاني تنصيب الخطوط في أوبنتو؟
[13:06] <erieslabnx> I tried rebooting the machine and it seems to not see it in the network manager
[13:06] <erUSUL> !sa
[13:07] <indus> erUSUL: how do u know he is saudi araiba?
[13:07] <DEViUS> cwillu: yo seriously which one, i have an atom proccesser, and im not sure which arcitecture to use, :S
[13:07] <cwillu> DEViUS, same one as the ubuntu you installed
[13:07] <erieslabnx> erUSUL is there usually some generic line to configure or is it different with every nic?
[13:07] <erUSUL> indus: i do not. it is the only factoid i know that points to arab help
[13:07] <defrysk> atom is non amd64
[13:07] <erUSUL> erieslabnx: no is generic
[13:07] <indus> assalam alekom
[13:07] <defrysk> so use i386
[13:08] <DEViUS> i dunno which :p....i used the ubuntu netbook remix image from flash
[13:08] <erieslabnx> indus is that how you spell that man?
[13:08] <DEViUS> cwillu: i dunno which :p....i used the ubuntu netbook remix image from flash
[13:08] <indus> erieslabnx:sure : or salaam alekom wa alekom salaam
[13:08] <cwillu> DEViUS, install _i386
[13:08] <DEViUS> lol am kernel illiterate :p
[13:08] <DEViUS> k
[13:08] <erieslabnx> lol
[13:08] <Pici> !offtopic | indus
[13:08] <chinmaya> anyone- if we use rm command to remove any file where does it go?? It is not in recyclebin ??
[13:08] <cwillu> the image, and the headers (i386 and all)
[13:08] <ubun00b> woohoo installing flash caused my browser to fail to restore tabs and wiped my bookmarks yaaay
[13:09] <cwillu> chinmaya,
[13:09] <Pici> chinmaya: Its gone.
[13:09] <cwillu> chinmaya, I told you twice already
[13:09] <indus> Pici: one line of off topic is fine
[13:09] <Pici> indus: No, its not.
[13:09] <indus> Pici: as long as we are human it is.
[13:09] <ubun00b> as long as installing flash wipes your bookmarks...
[13:09] <chinmaya> cwillu, i've nt asked it before
[13:09] <indus> Pici: stop picking on me unnecessarily ... iam here to help
[13:10] <cwillu> ubun00b, that sounds like an unrelated problem of your firefox session getting corrupted
[13:10] <erieslabnx> like this? >> iface eth1 inet dhcp
[13:10] <DEViUS> cwillu: so which do install first headers/image  ?
[13:10] <cwillu> DEViUS, doesn't really matter
[13:10] <DEViUS> k
[13:10] <glaceman> HI THERE
[13:10] <cwillu> DEViUS, the headers just makes sure that any random kernel modules can get built at a later time
[13:10] <indus> glaceman: hello
[13:10] <glaceman> HI THERE
[13:10] <glaceman> ANY HELP AROUND PLEASE ?
[13:11] <indus> glaceman: yes but use small letters
[13:11] <DEViUS> cwillu: and do i need to modify something in grub, or it add automatically ?
[13:11] <ubun00b> cwillu: moments after installing flash using this link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash
[13:11] <chinmaya> cwillu, ohhh........i'm sorry at that time my xchat encountered with a problem.........!! and i shutted it down..........plz can u again!

[13:11] <indus> glaceman: so tell us your problem
[13:11] <cwillu> chinmaya, rm (and del in windows) is permanent and immediate.  The file is simply gone (i.e., same thing as what happens after you empty the trash)
[13:12] <indus> !hello | glaceman

[13:14] <scizzo-> indus: themes
[13:14] <glaceman> well my primary question here is that actually im a new migrator, from microsoft products, actually microsoft certified engineer, but newbie on linux, lol, using ubuntu version right now, and i like it actually, pretty much better optioons, and performances
[13:14] <Slart> indus, glaceman: mmm.. transparent irssi on top of a web browser.. really really annoying.. but I'm waiting for someone to walk by and say it's cool ;)
[13:15] <glaceman> and i've been digging around, finding new things bla blab la, then today i noticed something, every driver is working fine on my laptop, bluetooth, touch buttons, camera, etc... but not my usb flash drive
[13:15] <glaceman> :P Slart
[13:15] <cwillu> glaceman, it's always something :p
[13:15] <AuDaX> irc://irc.karma-irc.net/nerve
[13:15] <cwillu> although flashdrives are usually the easier ones
[13:16] <glaceman> i have 2 usb sticks actually, one of 4GB wish is being detected, the other one 8Gb not detected :S
[13:16] <cwillu> sdhc?
[13:16] <Dreamglider> how do i restart alsa sound engine ?
[13:16] <cwillu> I'm guessing
[13:16] <Slart> glaceman: hmm.. usb flash drives.. the only thing that just works.. all the time.. anyting in the syslog when you plug it in?
[13:16] <Rupp> Dreamglider: alsaconfig
[13:16] <Slart> glaceman: tail -f /var/log/syslog, unplug/plugin
[13:16] <Rupp> Dreamglider: alsaconf
[13:16] <glaceman> wait wait guys
[13:16] <Rupp> Dreamglider: alsaconf is the right one
[13:16] <glaceman> hang on lol, too many colors around :P
[13:17] <cwillu> glaceman, is it a reader or just an integrated thumbdrive?
[13:17] <mattmilo> hello
[13:17] <glaceman> i dont even know what's the syslog is located
[13:17] <Dreamglider> Rupp: command not found
[13:17] <mattmilo> just made the switch from windows to ubuntu
[13:17] <abdullah> hi
[13:17] <glaceman> it's a usb stick, ntfs partition, used to work on xp
[13:17] <cwillu> glaceman, tip:  if I'm talking to you, you want to pay attention to me :)
[13:17] <defrysk> get alsatools
[13:17] <glaceman> both sticks are like this, but one of them is working
[13:17] <abdullah> hello
[13:17] <mattmilo> everything is running really smoothly, only problem is my wireless is noticeably slower
[13:17] <glaceman> ok cwillu
[13:17] <abdullah> all friends
[13:17] <glaceman> go aheahd
[13:17] <Slart> glaceman: open a terminal.. run "tail -f /var/log/syslog".. you've now got a running display of the syslog.. it will update when anything new comes in
[13:18] <mattmilo> any ideas why this would be happening?
[13:18] <Slart> glaceman: unplug the usb drive.. wait a couple of seconds.. plug it in.. see what comes up in the terminal window
[13:18] <cwillu> glaceman, any chance it wasn't unmounted cleanly from windows?
[13:18] <mattmilo> my connection only shows one bar, 15% connectivity to be exact
[13:18] <mattmilo> which im pretty sure wasnt the case before
[13:18] <glaceman> ok cwillu
[13:18] <glaceman> saying scanning, device scan complete
[13:18] <Rupp> Dreamglider: sudo alsaconf?
[13:19] <Rupp> mattmilo: thats good :)
[13:19] <glaceman> no, it always being removed properly, used it in the office 1h ago
[13:19] <Slart> Rupp: alsaconf hasn't been available in ubuntu for a couple of versions
[13:19] <glaceman> i think there's error
[13:19] <ohir> glaceman: Slart: sudo first. sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog
[13:19] <Slart> ohir: shouldn't be needed for reading
[13:20] <defrysk> sudo apt-get install alsa-tools then try again
[13:20] <Rupp> Start: i am in between puppy and ubuntu forgot what chat I was in
[13:20] <mattmilo> Rupp: thanks, any ideas how i could improve my wifi issue?
[13:20] <ohir> Slart: -rw-r----- 1 syslog adm
[13:20] <Dreamglider> Rupp: command not found
[13:20] <ohir> hm.. first user, I see, is in adm group anyway
[13:20] <cwillu> Slart, ohir, readable by the default user
[13:20] <glaceman> cwillu:
[13:20] <mattmilo> ive been downloading a 56mb security update for 2 hours now
[13:20] <Slart> ohir: and who is in the admin group.. I am =)
[13:20] <glaceman> can we talk in pvt please
[13:20] <glaceman> im confused,
[13:20] <glaceman> and not being able to read everything, lines are running fast
[13:21] <slushpuppeh> Hi, could anyone kindly highlight what the problem is in here? http://pastebin.com/m3ecde7f2
[13:21]  * ohir step back with sudo, new user works in adm group :-)
[13:21] <ubun00b> lol I don't even have room for tomboynotes :D
[13:21] <mattmilo> and Im on a 22mb/s adsl 2 connection
[13:21] <jaret> qq: how do I replace libtool with ubuntus own scripts ??
[13:21] <cwillu> glaceman, check your pm's
[13:21] <Slart> ohir: of course.. under the assumption that we are using the first user.. might not always be the case..
[13:22] <ubun00b> now I see what the problem is! guys, what's the minimum of the casper-rw file you have to have for ubuntu??
[13:22] <ubun00b> *size
[13:22] <ohir> glaceman: there you should have log messages about plug in / plug out usb device
[13:22] <deany> does an nfs share have to be a linux type filesystem or will it be ok for fat32
[13:22] <seevee> ~$ sudo mount albert:/dev/hda3/home /home/dir --- gives error mount: RPC: Remote system error - Connection refused ----- but, it's the same machine, I'm just trying to get /home/dir to be a client directory of another partition. Help?
[13:23] <Slart> deany: I don't really think nfs cares what filesystem it uses.. or.. wait.. there was something about ntfs not being shareable by nfs.. have you tried?
[13:23] <ubun00b> because I think I have it on 830+ mb, that makes my whole linux distro storage around 830mb, would that potentially form problems like taking me 5 hours to install a graphix driver and troubleshoot flash ??
[13:23] <longthen> hello there
[13:24] <longthen> Anyone read Full Circle Magazine?
[13:24] <ubun00b> longthen:  what's that?
[13:24] <Dreamglider> sound is just looping like in a 0.1 sec loop
[13:24] <deany> no, Im about to have a go setting one up, for dumping clonezilla backups to, so thought no need for samba as they are all linux.. unless samba is faster
[13:24] <longthen> magazine
[13:25] <longthen> about ubuntu
[13:25] <deany> Slart, the partition im backin up to is fat32..
[13:25] <ubun00b> longthen: I would like to find out more, but my firefox keeps crashing because ubuntu is such a stable system
[13:25] <Slart> deany: samba is not faster.. than anything...
[13:25] <longthen> :<
[13:25] <Slart> deany: personally I've only used nfs with ext3 and xfs.. never fat32 or ntfs
[13:26] <deany> Slart, I`ll try it..
[13:26] <ubun00b> longthen: I can't even visit sites explaining how to uninstall flash -_-
[13:26] <ubun00b> + it wiped all of my bookmarks
[13:26] <ubun00b> 3 cheers...
[13:27] <longthen> dont you use xmark?
[13:27] <mattmilo> so does anyone know how I can resolve my wifi reception issues?
[13:27] <mattmilo> is it a driver problem?
[13:28] <ubun00b> longthen: just the standard FF that came with ubuntu
[13:29] <ubun00b> longthen: I thought about updating but since that terribly failed yesterday...
[13:29] <longthen> ubun00b:i sintalled a plug-in named xmark in ff
[13:29] <ohir> ubun00b: interesting. I use FF daily and never ever it crashed on me
[13:29] <vigo> !backup | ubun00b
[13:30] <ubun00b> I do have around 10+ tomboynotes concerning this though so this will probably make a long blogpost lol
[13:30] <ubun00b> yeah I thought I had the system backed up nicely (it's booting from the persistent liveUSB environment)
[13:30] <longthen> It works very well,the bookmarks is saved in the net
[13:31] <ubun00b> *goes to look for xmark*
[13:31] <longthen> :)
[13:31] <vigo> longthen: Yes, xmark is a great doo-dad
[13:32] <matt__> Hi all,  under Ubuntu, what is the library that handles key presses before it reaches the currently active application?
[13:32] <longthen> yeah
[13:32] <longthen> anyone is learning PHP?
[13:32] <melkham> hey, does anyone know how i can mark multiple folders in mc (midnight commander) ?
[13:32] <Pici> longthen: ##php would be a good place to discuss php
[13:33] <DEViUS> cwillu: am back
[13:33] <longthen> thanks for your advice
[13:33] <ubun00b> longthen: xmark is an addon, since I'm a bit weary on installing an addon yet (I don't even have a functioning back-button in FireFox lol), I'm going to try to fix flash first
[13:34] <ubun00b> but it's noted though, so thanks for the tip :)
[13:34] <DEViUS> cwillu: new kernel, boot better, at least i can keep the power cable in when booting, but the wirelless dosent work, and the problem we discussed still REMAiNz.....=(
[13:34] <cwillu> :/
[13:34] <cwillu> well, was worth a shot
[13:34] <DEViUS> ya true
[13:34] <cwillu> DEViUS, check launchpad, file a bug
[13:34] <Slart> I can't really understand why people want to send their bookmarks to some weirdo company for storage.. you can back them up to a file instead.. on your own system
[13:34] <DEViUS> k
[13:34] <Bacta> Hi whenever I try and do cat /dev/random | /dev/dsp (yes I know this is stupid) I get "Permission Denied"
[13:34] <longthen> ubun00b::)
[13:35] <Bacta> How can I get this to work?
[13:35] <thiebaude> Slart: yep
[13:35] <lstarnes> Bacta: use > or >> instead of |. | is only used for sending output through a coomand
[13:35] <lstarnes> *command
[13:35] <hasta> /msg ubuntuhelp !nick
[13:35] <thiebaude> Slart: i have my bookmarks on floppy
[13:35] <hasta> !nick
[13:35] <Slart> thiebaude: I've setup webdav on my server and use that for syncing
[13:36] <thiebaude> kewl
[13:36] <Bacta> lstarnes: I'm not hearing anything
[13:36] <Bacta> Wait
[13:36] <Bacta> /dev/sda did it :)
[13:36] <Bacta> it's hardly music though ;)
[13:37] <Slart> Bacta: you might want to use /dev/urandom instead
[13:37] <Bacta> Neat :)
[13:37] <Slart> Bacta: you don't really need encryption grade random numbers for making bbrszsczcz noise
[13:37] <bullgard4> I inserted in ~/.irssi/config : '{name = "#ekiga"; chatnet = "GIMPnet"; autojoin = "yes"; password = "***"; botmasks =<EMAIL_ADDRESS>autosendcmd = "/^msg $0 op pass"; },', logged out and logged in. But this channel does not appear automatically. The command '/j #ekiga' works though. What is the reason?
[13:37] <seevee> !mount rpc
[13:38] <abdullah> can be made from gwbasic
[13:38] <Bacta> I can hear my mother talking to me ... is it bad?
[13:38] <abdullah> or logo
[13:38] <Slart> Bacta: huh? what command did you run?
[13:38] <DEViUS> cwillu: oh check this out......https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Netbooks#HP%20Mini%202140
[13:38] <Bacta> oh hold on. she's in my room now
[13:38] <abdullah> www.logo.com
[13:38] <cwillu> DEViUS, yay ;p
[13:39]  * Slart wonders if it's ~/mom or /home/bacta/mom  that will show up on my computer =)
[13:39] <Bacta> cat /dev/zero > /dev/dsp gives a neat click and then nothing more
[13:40] <Slart> Bacta: are you surprised?
[13:40] <ikonia> Bacta: it's just random chars, that can't be made into regognisable noise
[13:40] <Bacta> I know that, don't ruin my fun!
[13:41] <Bacta> which one in /dev corresponds to my network?
[13:41] <ikonia> none
[13:43]  * Bacta is listening to his hard drive
[13:43] <ikonia> Bacta: this is a support channel - you know this, please stop now
[13:46] <vigo> I think I have some bad blocks or sectors on the HDD, does DVD disaster or some other gram repair or attempt a repair on such hardware?
[13:46] <ikonia> vigo: harddrives normally have their own tools from their vendors for linux
[13:46] <Slart> vigo: not sure if you can repair it.. ddrescue tries to read it in some sneaky ways
[13:46] <trendy> Oh really let me know about that
[13:47] <vigo> Thank you.
[13:47] <trendy> Why??
[13:47] <deany> anyone know if clonezilla has any wifi drivers available?  the one im using is based on jaunty kernel, and im just wondering if theres some command i can issue to enable wifi if i drop to prompt in clonezilla
[13:48] <ikonia> deany: this is ubuntu support only
[13:48] <znh> vigo, you can't repair damaged hardware with software. However in some situations you are able to retrieve data, with tools such as Slart suggested.
[13:48] <Slart> trendy?
[13:48] <deany> k
[13:48] <trendy> Yeah
[13:48] <trendy> How are you doing Slart
[13:48] <Slart> trendy: did you have a question?
[13:49] <Kangarooo> witch programm is easy to cut 1min from one film with? from .avi file? I could usually with VLC but now that possibility is not anymore..
[13:49] <vigo> znh: Yes, that was the area of concern, to back up what I did not back up last week and replace the HDD with another one.
[13:49] <Slart> Kangarooo: avidemux is easy to use
[13:50] <erUSUL> Kangarooo: avidemux
[13:51] <znh> !clonezilla
[13:51] <znh> see, it's offtopic
[13:51] <vigo> !forums
[13:52] <Kangarooo> ok Slart and erUSUL :) thanks :)
[13:52] <vigo> It may be covered in the forums.
[13:52] <Slart> Kangarooo: you're welcome
[13:52] <erieslabnx> I have completely reinstalled twice now and still ubuntu does not see my nic, is there some way to force it to recognize?
[13:52] <ubun00b> please, can some one provide me with a link on how to COMPLETELY remove flash and its components? because of that my firefox keeps crashing
[13:52] <bullgard4> I inserted in ~/.irssi/config : '{name = "#ekiga"; chatnet = "GIMPnet"; autojoin = "yes"; password = "***"; botmasks =<EMAIL_ADDRESS>autosendcmd = "/^msg $0 op pass"; },', logged out and logged in. But this channel does not autojoin. The command '/j #ekiga' works though. What is the reason?
[13:53] <Slart> erieslabnx: pastebin the output of "lspci" ?
[13:53] <longthen> Sometimes I use shortcut key ,the system was halted. anyone met this ?
[13:53] <erieslabnx> !help pastebin
[13:53] <Pici> !paste | erieslabnx
[13:53] <Slart> bullgard4: tried /reload ?
[13:53] <Slart> bullgard4: I don't think it reads the config file until you restart irssi
[13:54] <lstarnes> bullgard4: a /reload should reload it
[13:54] <longthen> ubun00b: your net is slow or what
[13:54] <Knoedel1> hi all, is there a drbd8-module for ubuntu 9.04 ? I see only drbd8-utils
[13:54] <lstarnes> bullgard4: make sure it appears in /channel list
[13:55] <bullgard4> Slart: "restart" means "to restart the computer" or "to restart GNOME'?
[13:55] <ubun00b> longthen: I have no idea what it is, I know that it isn't supposed to be (I'm on 54mbit wifi)
[13:55] <lstarnes> bullgard4: no, restart irssi
[13:55] <ubun00b> longthen: I installed flash, and since then my firefox is one pile of crash
[13:55] <ubun00b> :p
[13:55] <Slart> bullgard4: restart irssi
[13:55] <longthen> ubun00b: you can try another web browser
[13:56] <adriannome> Hi. i now need a windows machin to upgrade my iphone. i wont install windows on my desktop computer, but i have an eee 900 that i can install it and than just install ubuntu after the iphone upgrade. i have a windows xp cd but no external cdrom drive. is it possible to make a bootable windows usb key from ubuntu?
[13:56] <ubun00b> longthen: lol what do you mean? is there anything besides FF on ubuntu?
[13:56] <bullgard4> Slart: I wrote at the outset that I logged out and logged in. This does imply that Irssi restarted, does it not?
[13:56] <indus> ubun00b: opera
[13:56] <lstarnes> bullgard4: did you reconnect, or did you completely close irssi then open it again?
[13:56] <Slart> bullgard4: I interpreted it as logging out and in the irc server
[13:57] <indus> ubuntulog: ff u mean browser?
[13:57] <longthen> ubun00b: I mean you can download another web browser
[13:57] <Slart> bullgard4: but sure.. if you logged out of gnome/X and logged in again irssi will be restarted
[13:57] <ubun00b> well I could try if in the process my firefox doesn't crash :P
[13:57] <erieslabnx1> Ethernet controller: ADMtekDevice 0185 (rev 11)
[13:57] <longthen> ubun00b: like Epiphany

[13:58] <Slart> erieslabnx: doh.. sorry.. I think I need some coffee here..

[13:59] <adriannome> Hi. i now need a windows machin to upgrade my iphone. i wont install windows on my desktop computer, but i have an eee 900 that i can install it and than just install ubuntu after the iphone upgrade. i have a windows xp cd but no external cdrom drive. is it possible to make a bootable windows usb key from ubuntu?
[13:59] <vigo> brendano: Look at Libre or something like that.
[14:00] <erieslabnx1> only the ethernet controller slart
[14:00] <brendano> thx vigo!
[14:00] <longthen> ubun00b:you can try this :  sudo apt-get install epiphany
[14:00] <bullgard4> lstarnes: The '/channel' list output does not include #ekiga.

[14:01] <blip-> hi, I've been getting a BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 on  http://security.ubuntu.com intrepid-security for about 2 weeks now... how can I resolve this issue ?
[14:01] <ubun00b> longthen: I give up, I think there's something seriously wrong with my install, I can't even go to 'Applications > Add/Remove > Internet' to get a list
[14:01] <blip-> shall I email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>as it suggests ?
[14:01] <Slart> erieslabnx: is it a new motherboard? as in brand new, less than a year old?
[14:01] <ubun00b> longthen: I think these errors have something to do with the casper-rw filesize
[14:01] <longthen> ubun00b:maybe
[14:02] <bullgard4> lstarnes: Fairly much: I appended it at the end of the channel defintion part.
[14:02] <ubun00b> longthen: right now it's around 830mb (which is basically the persistent storage size for ubuntu)
[14:02] <indus> anyone need help. Its one of my tasks or i cant sleep well :)

[14:03] <solomon> I have a somewhat unique need... my CPU is fubar, and crashes the system when it gets anywhere near halfway hot.  I solved the problem by setting up cpu scaling to underclock it by about 50%.

So... is there any way for me to pass some boot param or something to tell it to underclock my CPU from t

[14:04] <mib> hi, anyone knows what is the best way for maintaining existing source list for a feisty?
[14:04] <Slart> !feisty | mib
[14:04] <solomon> note that i adjusted a setting in my bios that seemed to underclock the cpu to 800MHz -- at least, before i changed that setting, the thing would crash within a couple of minutes of sitting in bios config.  Bug when the ubuntu installer tries to start with this setting changed, it gets a kernel panic regarding cpufreq
[14:04] <mib> i am using feisty but reluctant to switch to hardy...is there any source list which i still can use?
[14:04] <ubun00b> longthen: thanks anyway for help, but right now I'm off to eat some delicious pancakes, or else I'll go pancakes myself :P

[14:04] <indus> adriannome: wait 1 sec
[14:04] <Slart> mib: you'll have to use.. old-releases.ubuntu.com as a repository .. not sure of the spelling there
[14:04] <longthen> ubun00b:ok. see you
[14:05] <kabboo> hey what is the best program for programming
[14:05] <ubun00b> :)
[14:05] <mib> Slart: any link you could reommend for the old releases?
[14:05] <cwillu> mib, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades
[14:05] <Slart> erieslabnx: hmm.. that doesn't scream network to me..sure thats the one?
[14:05] <davro> soloman: i don't think there is such a feature, only thing you might be able todo is  underclock your chip in your bios if your bios allows this.
[14:05] <Slart> mib: not really. I've never really found a good page to explain it.. sorry..
[14:05] <mib> because my hard disk is limited and i have to use feisty.
[14:05] <solomon> davro: i believe i got it uc'd in my bios, but that seems to piss off cpufreq
[14:05] <indus> adriannome: if you have the windows iso you can create maybe
[14:06] <Slart> mib: but you can go there with a browser and look at the files
[14:06] <mib> the link just now?
[14:06] <indus> adriannome: naah i dont think its possible
[14:06] <Slart> mib: why not just use the !minimal version ... only add the stuff you really need
[14:06] <indus> adriannome: any other questions i could maybe solve
[14:06] <solomon> davro: i tried CPUFREQ=off in grub after googling about it but it still gave the same error
[14:06] <Slart> !minimal | mib
[14:06] <vigo> brendano: http://www.fsfe.org/ seriously, libre germany
[14:06] <adriannome> indus: ok. i tryed with unetbooit, but that dident fikx is.
[14:06] <brendano> can anyone direct me to a genreal developer linux irc server/channel?
[14:06] <indus> adriannome: unetbootit? hmm let me google
[14:06] <erieslabnx1> no I am not sure I am not sure of much at all other than the fact that the nic is not being recognized lol

[14:07] <davro> soloman: I cannot think of any think other than opening up the box an point as many household fans on the chip location, maybe to get the install done ?
[14:07] <brendano> i.e. all flavors

[14:09] <DFarmer> I'm trying to install ubuntu-restricted-extras, but apt-get keeps failing and telling me it cannot resolve gb.archive.ubuntu.com. How do I fix this?
[14:09] <indus> DFarmer: try another server
[14:09] <brendano> vigo:ahhh - thought you were playing with my nick. Many thanks!
[14:09] <SBCU> please somebody help me :)
[14:09] <Slart> mib: I was talking about a reinstall
[14:09] <deany> i`m suprised ubuntu doesnt show anything more than windows network in the "network place".  why no nfs?
[14:09] <Slart> mib: since you said you were short on disc space
[14:10] <vigo> brendano: My pleasure. libre is the word in EU.
[14:10] <mib> Slart: i got you..if i upgrade, does it affect my current files in my pc?
[14:10] <DFarmer> indus: How?
[14:10] <brendano> vigo:danke shoen!
[14:10] <indus> SBCU: yes tell me
[14:10] <Slart> mib: it will upgrade the system files and such.. not your documents
[14:10] <SBCU> thanks indus
[14:11] <mib> ohh.so all things still stay (e.g s/w,programs..)
[14:11] <indus> DFarmer: go to system>administration>synaptic >repositories ,then change to a different server
[14:11] <Slart> mib: you should of course backup anything that is important even if it shouldn't be a problem
[14:11] <mib> ermm..
[14:11] <Slart> mib: if you installed stuff from the repos they should be available after the upgrade, yes
[14:11] <rsr> hello
[14:12] <firmW_> I am trying to install Ubuntu on a Pentium machine and it halts in the middle of the process, or it's really slow. what can I do solve this installation process?
[14:12] <mib> so once i back up, i shall burn the minimal cd to ISO image, and do minimal installation(upgrade) to hardy?
[14:12] <FiReSTaRT> firmW_, Pentium I?
[14:12] <firmW_> FiReSTaRT, yep
[14:12] <indus> firmW_: how muc h ram do you have? also disconnect the internet and install
[14:12] <sipior> heh heh
[14:12] <rsr> am I able to remove the boot splash screen?
[14:12] <Slart> mib: no.. you misunderstood.. the minimal cd was for a reinstall.. since the minimal cd doesn't install all the stuff the general desktop install does
[14:13] <rsr> So I can see what exactly is going on at boottime
[14:13] <sipior> FDIV bug in the installer, maybe? :-)
[14:13] <firmW_> indus, not sure but I think it's 128MB
[14:13] <DFarmer> indus: Thanks :)
[14:13] <mib> ohhh..
[14:13] <mib> okie..
[14:13] <indus> firmW_: pentium 1 as in 100 Mhz processor? no it wont install
[14:13] <Slart> mib: so if you use the minimal cd you'll end up with a smaller system.. you can choose not to install openoffice for example. if you don't use that
[14:13] <brendano> hats of fto all here fixing problems - your patience amazes...
[14:13] <gburin> hello fellows! it's my first time here, and I'm having trouble with my wireless
[14:13] <indus> DFarmer: its working now?
[14:13] <FiReSTaRT> firmW_, yikes... indus gave you some good pointers.. the problem is that the antique that you're running wasn't meant to run a modern o.s. once you complete the install, you can always trim it down.. might even consider running the server edition.. leaner, less bloated
[14:13] <DFarmer> indus: Just about to try
[14:13] <mib> ohh..erm.younknow roughly how much it going to take the space for hardy an average?
[14:14] <rsr> you can run xubuntu on that
[14:14] <Slart> mib: upgrading can be done using the internet... or by using a regular install cd
[14:14] <indus> DFarmer: also make sure internet is working :P
[14:14] <firmW_> What about a older version of Ubuntu?
[14:14] <gburin> today I couldn't find any available conections, but yesterday my wireless was working fine
[14:14] <Slart> mib: that would depends entirely on what you install.. a default system uses something like.. less than 5 GB or so..
[14:14] <mib> wow
[14:14] <mib> huge
[14:14] <Slart> mib: and I don't think the earlier versions of ubuntu uses any less
[14:15] <Slart> mib: what kind of hardware are you running this on?
[14:15] <FiReSTaRT> firmW_, they'd have to be REALLY old... but then you'd miss out on most of ubuntu's advantages and all of the support for newer apps
[14:15] <quibbler> rsr-> gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst   ...Then find the latest kernel and remove "quiet splash" from the end of that line
[14:15] <mib> hardware?
[14:15] <mib> on toshiba laptop
[14:15] <vegombrei> hi mozilla has issues with flash videos in porn sites .. anyone else facing a similar problem?
[14:15] <gburin> I've tried to reinstall network manager, also tried to use ndiswrapper as well as proprietary drivers
[14:15] <Slart> mib: let me check how much my vm install uses.. it's probably less than 5GB
[14:15] <firmW_> FiReSTaRT, well, so I have to keep windows running on it :P
[14:15] <mib> okie.
[14:16] <natschil> could anyone recomend me a subversion server that is easy to setup for ubuntu?
[14:16] <abdullah> it is on help.ubuntu.com
[14:16] <mib> or sould i install VM?
[14:16] <Slart> mib: nah.. it's just that I have a fresh install in a vm here..
[14:16] <blip-> so what's the difference between upgrading a package from backports vs PPA repos for 8.10 ?    For example an xfce lib, or a KDE lib
[14:16] <FiReSTaRT> firmW_, i'd try downloading the ubuntu server edition first... it's less bloated and who knows, you might luck out and have it run.. if not, you can always get back to windows 3.1 :D
[14:16] <rsr> vegombrei: I dont see that problem when I used adobe's flash
[14:16] <Slart> mib: my desktop install has so much extra stuff installed..
[14:16] <gburin> and in windows xp, the light of the wireless board turns on, but no network is detected
[14:17] <sipior> firmW_: you'd probably be better off with something a bit more customisable. slackware would be one option. forget running the latest gnome in 128MB of RAM, though. but you could run X and FVWM comfortably there.
[14:17] <rsr> gburin: Try disabling the drivers then reenabling it
[14:17] <rsr> gburin: then reboot
[14:17] <FiReSTaRT> firmW_, and i think somebody mentioned that xubuntu is able to run on that abacus.. that's your other option
[14:17] <gburin> rsr: how do I do it?
[14:17] <firmW_> FiReSTaRT, ok, I will try it out. Thank you. But I still can pick up from win 95, 98, me or 2000.
[14:17] <rsr> firmW_: why dont you try xubuntu?
[14:17] <macvr> firmW_: ^?
[14:17] <Slart> mib: a fresh install of 9.04 Desktop, 32bit,  uses 2.1GB for me
[14:17] <mib> ohh.
[14:18] <rsr> sysem --> administration--> hardware drivers
[14:18] <macvr> firmW_: xubuntu or maybe even puppy linux?
[14:18] <firmW_> xubuntu?
[14:18] <BigMack83> after creating a user with adduser, when i try to login with ssh command i can login, but if i try logging in through nautilus i get invalid user (from /var/log/auth.log)
[14:18] <mib> Slart: would some system space of feisty be taken over by hardy when installing? in other words, maybe it wont use extra 2.1GB..maybe extra 1GB
[14:18] <indus> firmW_: try puppy linux
[14:18] <ctmjr> firmW_, look into damn small linux or one of the other smaller distro's for that machine
[14:18] <indus> !puppy
[14:18] <indus> baah
[14:19] <Slart> mib: it will use some extra disc space during the actual update.. after that it should go down again
[14:19] <mib> ohh
[14:19] <indus> firmW_: damn small linux yes or puppy etc google for it , nothing else will load on your system.
[14:19] <vegombrei> rsr: no dude some sites there's this huge play button and when you click it nothing happens
[14:19] <mib> because mine now has only 1GB free space
[14:19] <Slart> mib: afaik you should end up using 2.1 GB.. after the update.. then you have logs and such that use space too
[14:19] <firmW_> puppy sounds homo, are you homo guys?
[14:19] <FiReSTaRT> firmW_,  http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/xubuntu
[14:19] <rsr> does anyone know how I can change the bootup ubuntu splash logo
[14:19] <Slart> !ops | firmW_
[14:19] <BigMack83> it also tells me "Failed none for invalid user aneikirk" and failed password. i cant figure out why it only does this when trying to login from sftp/scp as thats what i need it for
[14:19] <remoteCTRL> rsr: sudo apt-get install gnome-art
[14:19] <firmW_> FiReSTaRT, ok, thank you. I will have a look on it.
[14:20] <gburin> rsr: until yesterday, this drivers were disabled and the wireless was working fine, but today when I turned on my laptop in the beginning it detected, but didn't connected, but after a while, it stopped detecting
[14:20] <FiReSTaRT> firmW_, yeah, dsl should also work, but see if you can get xub to work for you
[14:20] <gburin> i'm sorry, THESE drivers
[14:20] <rsr> firmW_: thats personall and offtopic
[14:20] <indus> some nonsense going on in launchpad lately, bugs being reclassified as questions, wow great indeed
[14:20] <rsr> firmW_: please discuss offtopic on #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:20] <vigo> rsr: usplash grub?
[14:20] <remoteCTRL> rsr firmW_ left the room (requested by DBO).
[14:21] <Slart> mib: so.. if you update you will install over the old system.. replacing system files and such.. so it should take about the same space after the update is done.. during the actual update some extra space will be needed.. for the files that are downloaded and such
[14:21] <byte> trying to save power pc G3 with powerpc b.04 alt install but cant get the keyboard (Microsoft Digital MEdia) to recognis the cmd+opt+p+r  or F12 eject for that matter - nayone?
[14:21] <mib> oh
[14:21] <gburin> rsr: it sounds like hardware problems, right?
[14:22] <rsr> remoteCTRL: that would install new ones but how do I change them?
[14:22] <mib> how bout Dapper, slart? my other pc is dapper..it still should be supported right?
[14:22] <Slart> !dapper
[14:22] <remoteCTRL> rsr: exactly with gnome-art
[14:22] <rsr> vigo: usplash
[14:22] <Slart> mib: it was released in 2006.. it's getting pretty old
[14:22] <rsr> remoteCTRL: ok
[14:22] <remoteCTRL> rsr: you can change wuite a lot with that little app
[14:22] <quibbler> rsr-> sudo apt-get install startupmanager
[14:23] <mib> because i was having problem to install extra packages in dapper
[14:23] <urko> Hello folks! I had a problem with latest wine when I tried to install utorrent in terminal. It writes me this then just stop; http://pastebin.com/m37b25375. How can I fix this? Thnx
[14:23] <Slart> mib: I'm not sure how long they will support it
[14:23] <mib> ohh..erm

[14:23] <mib> yeah.general

[14:23] <mickster04> anybody know where i can find help for the NBR of ubuntu? asus 900 sluggishness bug and i dunno how to fix it:/
[14:24] <Slart> mib: why not install 8.10 then.. it's the latest LTS release.. or even jaunty
[14:24] <Slart> mib: or try DSL or puppylinux if you're looking for something small and light to run on older hardware
[14:24] <rsr> gburin: yes, that may be a hardware issue, although I wouldnt condemn it just yet
[14:24] <byte> edit - blue G3. trying to install ubuntu on mac PPC G3 with 8.04 alt l but cant get the keyboard (Microsoft Digital MEdia) to recognis the cmd+opt+p+r  or F12 eject for that matter - nayone?
[14:24] <mib> because the general desktop is restricted permission somehow to upfrade
[14:25] <rsr> gburin: maybe try it on a different system
[14:25] <jerkman> hey, i have a problem with glx loading in xorg. I updated my NVIDIA driver which broke X, so i downgraded with apt, which worked ok. GL wont load however, any suggestions
[14:25] <gburin> rsr: i have tried all those things that i said.... the only different thing i did was to install and uninstall gufw, a firewall... ah, and uninstalling gwibber, a microblogging client
[14:26] <vigo> Slart: Uhm, ermm, I thought 8.04.2 was latest LTS, I could be wrong.
[14:26] <gburin> rsr: i tried in windows xp, the light of the wireless board turns on, but it doesn't detect any network
[14:27] <meglo> Hello everyone, I was wondering if somone could suggest a good ergonomic keyboard to help with muscle strain. If it should have features like hotbuttons/scrollwheels then they should be compatible with Ubuntu or workable with minor modification of the system. Would anyone know of a good model?
[14:27] <jerkman> any thoughts? my card is a nvidia GeForce 8400GS 512mb, and it works fine until i upgraded the drivers
[14:27] <Slart> vigo: oh.. right you are.. good catch
[14:27] <byte> bump - have gone to www.justfuckinggoogleit.com - blue G3. trying to install ubuntu on mac PPC G3 with 8.04 alt l but cant get the keyboard (Microsoft Digital MEdia) to recognis the cmd+opt+p+r  or F12 eject for that matter - nayone?
[14:27] <Slart> mib: I meant 8.04... 8.10 wasn't a LTS release
[14:28] <mib> oh
[14:28] <Pici> byte: Please mind your language here.
[14:28] <byte> Pici was url botman
[14:28] <vigo> There is also a Minimal install for 8.04.2, 8.10 and the rest.
[14:28] <rsr> gburin: then I would be pretty inclined to throwing it out the window =P
[14:28] <Pici> byte: I don't care if its a url, its not appropriate.
[14:29] <jerkman> anyone? really want to get this sorted
[14:29] <Pici> meglo: ##hardware may be a better place to ask (or even #ubuntu-offtopic), most keyboards Just Work™ with Ubuntu/Linux
[14:29] <byte> Pici fair enough
[14:29] <gburin> rsr: the good part is that it's still guaranteed by sony and the store
[14:29] <urko> wussies
[14:29] <BigMack83> any idea why a user logging in via ssh on the cli works fine, but trying to log in via ssh/sftp in nautilus gets me an invalid password error in /var/log/auth.log ? or at least where i can look into it to fix it
[14:30] <rsr> gburin: the go for it... its a vaio?
[14:30] <VEndix> how to install ftp on server threw terminal on buntu?
[14:30] <fiXXXerMet> I have an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 chip.  After installing the xserver-xorg-video-intel package, which driver should I specify in my xorg.conf file?
[14:30] <gburin> rsr: i think i will take it to the authorized support
[14:30] <gburin> yes
[14:30] <gburin> rsr: yes

[14:31] <gburin> rsr: thank you very much for the help!
[14:31] <gburin> rsr: and i'm sorry for my english
[14:31] <DFarmer> indus: It's working now :) Thanks :)
[14:32] <jerkman> can someone here help with a simple xorg issue
[14:32] <Qu4R0w> my ubuntu 9.04 always crash..i cant press anything.it hang..what the problem is actually caused it?
[14:33] <vigo> byte: Yes, just look at the official release page. All the many flavors and Hardware compatible versions are listed with documentation.
[14:33] <scunizi> jerkman: ask your question first :)
[14:33] <rsr> gburin: No problem, im brazillian
[14:33] <indus> !paste > SBCU
[14:33] <gburin> rsr: eu também! hahahah
[14:33] <slayton> Qu4R0w, there are a lot of things that can cause a hang...  provide more information: hardware, what version of ubuntu, etc..
[14:33] <jerkman> scunizi: i have, but...
[14:33] <rsr> lol--- #ubuntu-br
[14:33] <jerkman> hey, i have a problem with glx loading in xorg. I updated my NVIDIA driver which broke X, so i downgraded with apt, which worked ok. GL wont load however, any suggestions
[14:33] <jerkman> any thoughts? my card is a nvidia GeForce 8400GS 512mb, and it works fine until i upgraded the drivers
[14:34] <FloodBot1> jerkman: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:34] <Qu4R0w> ubuntu 9.04
[14:34] <rsr> no I know what burin stands for =P
[14:34] <milo__> hi please hw can i get this "|" on my laptop
[14:34] <slayton> milligan_, is it not on your keyboard?
[14:34] <scunizi> jerkman: when you upgrade, are you moving from one version provided by ubuntu to anther or are you trying to install the drivers that come direct from Nvidia?
[14:34] <rsr> try the plus key milo__
[14:34] <milo__> i actually copied it on a website but i can't find it on my keyboard
[14:35] <Pici> milo__: On US layouts, its usually its shift \
[14:35] <indus> milo__: shift and press \ button
[14:35] <milo__> ok
[14:35] <jerkman> i had 177? ithink, and upgraded using the nvidia site version to 183, then back to 180 through apt
[14:35] <milo__> thanks guys
[14:35] <vigo> byte: What kind of Hardware/Architecture?
[14:36] <indus> !paste
[14:36] <scunizi> jerkman: 183?  or was that 180.3?  How did you install the nvidia driver.. specifically
[14:37] <scunizi> jerkman: nevermind which version.. I just looked and they are now up to 185.xx.. wow.. huge leaps.
[14:37] <jerkman> latest from nvidia, i had to kill gdm and x and install with nvidias ncurses installer
[14:37] <ubun00b> LOL now I know what the problem was, my system is just TOO FULL! I can't even save a screenshot hahaha
[14:37] <jerkman> maybe 185 then scunizi
[14:38] <scunizi> jerkman: that typicallyl does it and it's the right way.  When doing that did the installer mention that it had to uninstall a previous driver?
[14:38]  * ubun00b goes to wonder why he wasted the whole night yesterday because of lack of a simple notification or warning...
[14:38] <dbu> Hi, I have vmware player installed on Jaunty, and I was using bridged networking fine when I installed, I now rebooted the computer and bridged mode does not work. Running ifconfig I can not find vmnet0, anyone have any ideas?
[14:38] <byte> vigo:Power PC G3
[14:38] <xhema> We are looking for good people to come to our software freedom conference in Prishtina Kosovo on the 29/30 of august. SFK09/SFCK09
[14:38] <jerkman> scunizi: no, it just compiled the kernel module, then on rebooting, broke my graphics
[14:38] <slayton> dbu, did you reboot after a software update?
[14:39] <dbu> I have also run vmware-network --start, and it says that vmnet0 is started
[14:39] <dbu> slayton: no, I installed it worked, and I rebooted.
[14:40] <scunizi> jerkman: ok.. that happened to me once.. most likely because the ubuntu nvidia bits were still hanging around.. I uninstall the ubuntu supplied nvidia drivers via synaptic prior to installing the latest from nvidia.. seems to work for me.
[14:40] <jerkman> scunizi: my video works now, 180, but it is just gl
[14:41] <jerkman> scunizi: gl module wont load
[14:41] <scunizi> jerkman: have you run nvidia-xconfig or nvidia-settings?
[14:41] <Qu4R0w> guys,now i actually know what caused my laptop hang..it hang after i open firefox..but dun know how to solve :(
[14:41] <byte> scunizi what did you do - i had troubles and had to roll back
[14:41] <slayton> dbu, this might not be what you want to hear but I would suggest you use virtualbox instead of vmware... I found it much easier to configure and user
[14:41] <TuxPurple> !xen
[14:41] <byte> scunizi latest nvidia i mean
[14:42] <dbu> slayton: does virtualbox run vmware images?
[14:42] <treyh222> anyone using qemu/kvm/virt-manager on ubuntu and have it working with scsi disks?
[14:42] <Sirisian|Work> Is it possible for a folder to have more than one group?
[14:42] <byte> scunizi AMD XP2000+ 7 series
[14:42] <slayton> dbu, probably not
[14:42] <slayton> dbu, there could exist a conversion program though
[14:42] <jerkman> scunizi: ok, nvidia-settings shows up corret details, but the OpenGL/GLX Information tab says "Fail to query the GLX server vendor"
[14:42] <scunizi> byte: my latest that I have installed is 180.5x.. but when I initially installed it I uninstalled the nvidia stuff supplied by ubuntu prior to the new install.
[14:43] <Qu4R0w> me have same problem with nvidia
[14:43] <dbu> slayton: yes, I'm looking at the details ... :(
[14:43] <treyh222> dbu, your best bet is to dd the drive over ssh and then dd it back under virtualbox
[14:43] <Qu4R0w> before i use 177 is ok..180 is not good i think
[14:43] <scunizi> jerkman: I'd run nvidia-xconfig with sudo and allow it to write a new xorg for you.. then log out and restart
[14:43] <jerkman> ok.
[14:44] <scunizi> Qu4R0w: there's different versions.. depends on which one..
[14:44] <sipior> Sirisian|Work: no, but you can use access control lists to accomplish the same thing. check out "getfacl" and "setfacl".
[14:44] <Sirisian|Work> thank you
[14:44] <jerkman> scunizi: brb, thanks
[14:44] <Qu4R0w> 180 is newest i think but mine is good with 177..or must i use 177?
[14:45] <byte> scunizi ta
[14:45] <Qu4R0w> i scare to open firefox..my box must be hang after that at a glance
[14:46] <sipior> Sirisian|Work: for examplke, if you want member of group "foo" to be able to edit a file as well, just try: "setfacl -m g:foo:rw <filename>".

[14:49] <scunizi> jerkman: ok.. so now you're running the ubuntu supplied driver?
[14:49] <Rubik> hello, i need some help with XMBC. I have installed it successfully but when i run it , it shows the splash screen and immidietly closes. Any idea what's going on ?
[14:49] <cram> iptables v1.3.8: can't initialize iptables table `nat': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)
[14:49] <cram> Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
[14:49] <jerkman> scunizi: i believe so, but i cant even open terminal now
[14:49] <wolf23> indus, everytime when i am away from computer and after 11 minutes the monitor switch off
[14:50] <indus> wolf23: isnt that what you want?
[14:50] <sipior> cram: what precise command are you using to add a rule to that table?
[14:50] <scunizi> jerkman: did you uninstall the other driver that came direct from nvidia or did you just reinstall/enable the ubuntu driver?
[14:50] <jerkman> just reinstalled scunizi
[14:50] <parpar> Hello, I am sad because I lost almost all of my menu bars in Ubuntu Jaunty how can I recover them or unhide them?
[14:51] <vigo> byte: Found them all in that. If you want LTS get 8.04.2 LTS. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCDownloads
[14:51] <wolf23> indus,  yes i want this , i dont know if i config it wrong from power management
[14:51] <jerkman> scunizi: so how do i go about removing all drivers relating to nvidia
[14:51] <scunizi> jerkman: this is probably where your issues are coming from.. the other driver still has parts of it's kernel mod install and maybe other bits lying around.. you've got conflicts.  It's either all one or the other.
[14:51] <cram> sipior: it was actually via the control panel, but it was scripted, lemme pastebin the script
[14:52] <ipsemet> parpar: post a screen shot in imageshack so i can see which menus ur talking about
[14:52] <Halitech> cram, there is info here http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/iptables-v1.3.8-cant-initialize-iptables-table-filter-577212/
[14:52] <parpar> ipsemet: okay giveme couple of seconds
[14:52] <scunizi> jerkman: I had to google for it before.. but it's something like "sudo ./<driver/file/name> --purge"
[14:53] <jerkman> right,
[14:53] <milo__> please does someone know how to break a line while writing a script with vi editor?
[14:53] <cram> sipior: http://pastebin.ca/1463425
[14:53] <Faaabi> this is a test form a self vritten irc chat.
[14:53] <jerkman> scunizi: i cant open any programs... and my icons have dissapeared... how do i go about googling it...
[14:53] <scunizi> ipsemet: he's probably talking about decorations..
[14:53] <Faaabi> wow, it works... :-F
[14:53] <cram> Halitech: yeah, i saw that, but don't see why it should be a case of installing modules, they should all be installed
[14:53] <Faaabi> :-D
[14:54] <sipior> milo__: carriage return isn't doing it for you?
[14:54] <milo__> sipior: apparently no.
[14:54] <Halitech> cram, I'm not sure, I've never done anything with iptables but the modules may be installed but not actively loaded
[14:54] <wolf23> indus, in AC Power  i have display: 11 minutes and the actions: never
[14:54] <sipior> milo__: this is in the terminal, or gvim?
[14:55] <jerkman> scunizi: im in another terminal using links... he, text browsers are ok
[14:55] <scunizi> jerkman: you'll loose your irc connection doing this unless you're in a tty with screen... but ctrl+alt+F2 to get to a TTY and then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[14:55] <milo__> sipior: in the terminal. I run vi from the terminal
[14:55] <scunizi> jerkman: kool.. personally I like elinks..
[14:56] <jerkman> scunizi: ill just use links for a min
[14:56] <jerkman> scunizi: ill try elinks someday
[14:56] <parpar> ipsemet: This is the screen shot note that gimp, calculator, glabel and evolution are missing the menu bars.  This also happens in my Pidgin.  Screen shot: http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/5950/nomenubars.png
[14:56] <Fabi> heyhey
[14:56] <dasux> hiho
[14:56] <sipior> milo__: sounds like your terminal is broken. try "stty sane" first, and then try setting the TERM variable to vt100, and then xterm.
[14:57] <sipior> cram: when you try running that script line by line, where does it fail?
[14:57] <sipior> cram: it manages to flush the mangle table with no trouble?
[14:57] <indus> wolf23: you want the monitor to sleep after 11 minutes?
[14:57] <byte> vigo:my issue is that i cant boot from the cd - have non-mac kbd yet cmd+opt+p+r is not working
[14:57] <milo__> sipior: ok. The whole thing is that im just trying to learn how to write scripts and I would like to break a line in order to make the output looks nicer
[14:58] <ipsemet> parpar go to system>prefrences>appearacnce > interface you should see the option to fix your menu issue there
[14:58] <byte> vigo:thx for replying - appreciate it
[14:58] <vigo> byte: My pleasure, is the BIOS set correctly?
[14:58] <sipior> milo__: sorry, the problem isn't that you can't *input* a carriage return, but that it does not show up in your script's output? do i have that right?
[14:59] <FFEMTcJ> what is the name of the app that searches for restricted video drivers?
[14:59] <Halitech> FFEMTcJ, do you mean Envy?
[14:59] <byte> vigo:atm - i cannot evene ject the CD let alone make the firetrucker boot
[14:59] <jerkman> scunizi: ive got firefox back...
[14:59] <ipsemet> ffemtcj: system>administration<hardware drivers
[14:59] <FFEMTcJ> ipsemet: what is the package to install that?
[14:59] <scunizi> Halitech: FFEMTcJ *don't* use envy... ever
[15:00] <byte> vigo:suspect it may be a microsoft kbd issue (usb)
[15:00] <scunizi> jerkman: ye-ha!
[15:00] <Halitech> scunizi, I don't use it and never plan to
[15:00] <milo__> sipior: yes!
[15:00] <Faaabi> heyhey
[15:00] <Faaabi> whats going on?
[15:00] <ipsemet> comes with ubuntu since 7.10 i think not sure exactly when it came through but if u have 8.04 or above i'm positive its there
[15:00] <parpar> ipsemet: I untick and ticked back the boxes and nothing happened
[15:00] <Faaabi> aha, ok..
[15:00] <scunizi> Halitech: good.. I just get nervous when the word comes up.. :)
[15:00] <jerkman> scunizi: why dont use envy? i think i may have tried that
[15:01] <ipsemet> parpar: after the tick the boxes you may have to log off and back on
[15:01] <byte> vigo:thx for your thoughts tho man - i will persevere (I always get there in the end!)
[15:01] <Halitech> scunizi, I've heard/read the horror stories that have come up from using it although people still use it
[15:01] <sipior> milo__: i see, and these are bash scripts, then? you can just stick in an extra "echo" statement, or try "\n" for the carriage return (well, newline really)
[15:01] <parpar> ipsemet: okay I'll be back...
[15:01] <jerkman> Halitech: what horror stories? ENvy?
[15:02] <Halitech> jerkman, yes, heard it has totally borked systems
[15:02] <FFEMTcJ> scunizi: im looking for hardware drivers, like ipsemet said.. i just need to find its package to install it
[15:02] <scunizi> jerkman: if you have then your system might be a mess with no way for me to extracate you.. envy can break systems.. has in the past and might still despite the fact that it's in the repos .. at least envy-ng.. when the system is messed one easy way to fix things is reinstall
[15:02] <milo__> sipior: thanks. I was thinking about the "\n" but i thought that was only for python
[15:02] <sipior> milo__: also, remember to use "echo -e" to ensure that escaped sequences are interpreted.
[15:02] <scunizi> FFEMTcJ: apt-cache search ipsemet from cli
[15:03] <jerkman> scunizi: Noooooooooo... dang.
[15:03] <Halitech> FFEMTcJ, what video card do you have that you are trying to get drivers for?
[15:03] <scunizi> jerkman: do you have a seperate /home?
[15:03] <FFEMTcJ> its an nvidia
[15:03] <ipsemet> what? --> (10:02:42 AM) scunizi: FFEMTcJ: apt-cache search ipsemet from cli
[15:03] <sipior> milo__: no, that's pretty standard. works in just about every language since C, i think :-)
[15:03] <jerkman> scunizi: yes, but i have loads of windows games and stuff setup and loads of programs
[15:03] <Halitech> FFEMTcJ, do you know what model?
[15:03] <FFEMTcJ> ipsemet: i guess your a package now
[15:03] <FFEMTcJ> Halitech: no
[15:03] <jerkman> scunizi: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2901525&postcount=4
[15:03] <ipsemet> lol i guess so
[15:04] <scunizi> jerkman: in ubuntu or a dual boot?
[15:04] <boss_mc> FFEMTcJ: pastebin lspci | grep VGA
[15:04] <Halitech> FFEMTcJ, can you open a terminal and post the results of sudo lshw -C video ... use pastebin
[15:04] <jerkman> scunizi: in ubuntu
[15:04] <vigo> !pastebin
[15:04] <jerkman> took a while setting this thing up...
[15:04] <FFEMTcJ> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8600 GT (rev a1)
[15:04] <milo__> sipior: ok, but where should I put the echo-e?
[15:04] <scunizi> ipsemet: sorry .. your nick sounded like a program when FFEMTcJ mentioned it.. I was scanning the line fast and it didn't really register. sorry
[15:05] <scunizi> jerkman: so in wine?
[15:05] <FFEMTcJ> ipsemet: hehe
[15:05] <Halitech> FFEMTcJ, you should be able to see it in the restricted drivers
[15:05] <sipior> milo__: well, how were you writing the output?
[15:05] <jerkman> scunizi: yes, and in cedega and in crossover i also have office 07 simply for screenshots for coursework
[15:05] <FFEMTcJ> Halitech: i dont have the restricted drivers package installed
[15:05] <FFEMTcJ> i started with a server install
[15:05] <Faaabi> asfd
[15:06] <Faaabi> test
[15:06] <boss_mc> Faaabi: pong
[15:06] <Halitech> FFEMTcJ, its not a package, its under admin - system - hardware drivers I believe
[15:06] <FFEMTcJ> its not there
[15:06] <ipsemet> what version do u have
[15:06] <scunizi> jerkman: most of that will be in /home.. at least the configs.. that's a lot of work to go through prior to getting your video working correctly.
[15:06] <FFEMTcJ> 9.04
[15:06] <milo__> sipior: in  the vi editor (terminal)
[15:06] <Halitech> FFEMTcJ, how did you install a gui?
[15:06] <parpar> ipsemet: no menu bars yet?
[15:06] <jerkman> scunizi: did you see the link
[15:06] <cram> sipior: i hadn't tried running line by line, good idea
[15:07] <vigo> FFEMTc3: apt-sources?
[15:07] <sipior> milo__: no, i mean, how are you writing output in your script.
[15:07] <Sutekj> I don't have permission to my x11 directory, how do I fix this? I want to change my xorg.conf.
[15:07] <scunizi> jerkman: no .. missed it
[15:07] <sipior> cram: and what was the result?
[15:07] <jerkman> http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2901525&postcount=4 scunizi
[15:07] <Halitech> Sutekj, use gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[15:07] <prince_jammys> Sutekj: use sudo (or gksudo) to edit it as superuser
[15:07] <FFEMTcJ> gnome-core  - i didnt want everything that comes with ubuntu-desktop
[15:07] <milo__> sipior: let me show you. second
[15:08] <scunizi> jerkman: ah.. now I saw the link.. that's for removing the ubuntu installed nvidia bits.. I never went to that length.
[15:09] <linduxed2> in the nm-applet, when i choose the wifi network im using and press "show" for the password, i get a loooong like of what seems to be hexadicimal junk
[15:09] <linduxed2> i know the password and the thing shown is not the thing i put in some time ago
[15:09] <scunizi> jerkman: however you might need to and then also run the uninstaller for the nvidia drivers from nvidia
[15:09] <FFEMTcJ> i also gotta get sound working :-(
[15:10] <jerkman> scunizi: right, but do you think that could work?
[15:10] <milo__> sipior: http://paste.ubuntu.com/197733/
[15:10] <cram> sipior: i got to /sbin/iptables -P INPUT DROP and it kicked me off ssh :P
[15:10] <milo__> sipior: excuse me but I actually write the words in French. :D
[15:10] <MaT-dg> can I enable line numbers in gedit?
[15:11] <scunizi> jerkman: won't hurt trying.. I'd download the latest driver from nvidia first though and put it in a location you can get at.. all this uninstall should be done with the gui off.. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[15:11] <boss_mc> MaT-dg: yeah, under the view menu
[15:11] <cram> sipior: looks like i'll have to get someone to reset the iptables config on the console now :/
[15:11] <love_ubuntu> hi
[15:12] <boss_mc> !hi | love_ubuntu
[15:12] <scunizi> scunizi: after uninstalling everything .. reboot.. then back to the terminal and stop gdm.. reinstall nvidia driver that comes direct from nv
[15:12] <wolf23> help please! i want the monitor to sleep after 11 minutes
[15:12] <jerkman> scunizi: brb
[15:12] <mib_35ozkd9n> Good Morning Ubuntu People.
[15:12] <love_ubuntu> can anyone help me? how to set my mysql service autoamatically started?
[15:12] <mib_35ozkd9n> Is this an appropriate place to ask for super-newbie help?
[15:13] <Faaabi> hmm...
[15:13] <boss_mc> mib_35ozkd9n: yep :)
[15:13] <Crazy|One> hi all, 2 queries quickly,  number 1 i installed ubuntu jaunty onto my laptop but it keeps having problems booting up with (2 Softresets failed, 1 modprobe FATAL: modules.dep no such file),  i followed the steps of this guide ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1162619 ) which solved the problem, but each time i reboot the softresets problem keeps coming up stopping me from booting, any idea what could be wrong?
[15:13] <boss_mc> mib_35ozkd9n: ask your question all on one line and we'll answer if we can
[15:13] <mib_35ozkd9n> I just installed the ubuntu netbook remix on my lenovo s10.  (which was totally awesomely easy, btw)  and i used it for a few hours without incident.
[15:13] <sipior> cram: hah! yes, careful with blindly typing iptables rules remotely :-) happens to everyone eventually.
[15:13] <mib_35ozkd9n> but somehow, i managed to make all the applications disappear from the applications menu.
[15:13] <Crazy|One> number 2, i am using a PAYG mobile broadband dongle, and would like to find out if there are any applications i can use to track my download i have done in a month?
[15:14] <mib_35ozkd9n> i tried putting it in regular view and not the netbook view but no love.
[15:14] <mib_35ozkd9n> so now all i can do is launch system things and firefox.
[15:14] <sipior> milo__: so just replace the echo statements with echo -e
[15:14] <mib_35ozkd9n> any idea what i did?
[15:14] <vigo> Crazy|One: Log Files can handle the second.
[15:14] <milo__> sipior: cool. Let me try
[15:14] <Crazy|One> vigo ok
[15:15] <sipior> milo__: and add "\n" as desired in the quoted text.
[15:15] <wolf23> help please! i want the monitor to sleep after 11 minutes? i try from power management,and i it doesnot work after 11 mnutes?
[15:16] <mickster04> wolf23 why 11?
[15:16] <milo__> sipior: thanks
[15:16] <sipior> his monitor goes to eleven
[15:16] <sipior> milo__: sure, no trouble
[15:16] <wolf23> mickster04, do u know how to configure it?
[15:17] <vigo> Crazy|One: On first, it could be any number of things, I suspect is a BIOS or some mis managed pkg, dpkg fix can or may resolve that, it is during boot that you can recover or repair a broken system.
[15:17] <mickster04> wolf23 have you checked screensaver settings
[15:17] <wolf23> mickster04,  no
[15:18] <mickster04> wolf23, also make sure you have set that timer in both ac an battery settings, then it will happen to both
[15:18] <wolf23> mickster04,  yes i have the mark on active the computer 10 minutes when its idle
[15:18] <mickster04> wolf23, i assume if u have a screensaver then the idle starts from when the screensaver starts
[15:18] <jerkman> scunizi: wierdest thing... i uninstalled with apt and uninstalled the official drivers so im left with possibly broken eny drivers.. guess what. compiz works so does gl?? WTF?
[15:19] <jerkman> *envy
[15:19] <mib_35ozkd9n> I have tried look at the appearance preferences, but that did not make my applications come back from whereever they escaped to
[15:19] <wolf23> mickster04,  i wait 10 and 12 minutes, no screensaver play and no sleeping monitor
[15:20] <milo__> sipior: http://paste.ubuntu.com/197739/  should it look like this
[15:20] <hobbet1> does anybody know if the softreset failed device not ready, have they fixed that yet, i keep searching and i see others have problem but no solution.
[15:21] <jerkman> scunizi: i have only one problem... none of my programs will open
[15:21] <jerkman> i can open irc, but then nothing else
[15:21] <scunizi> jerkman: catch 22 :)
[15:21] <ipsemet> sounds like multiple problems
[15:21] <sipior> milo__: no. more like: echo -e "Calendar\n"
[15:21] <parpar> I am experiencing a weird problem.  Almost all of my menus have disappeared (calculator, Gimp, Evolution, gLabel, etc.  With the exception of Firefox and Openoffice).  Please I seek to resolve this issue.  I am using Ubuntu Jaunty.
[15:21] <parpar> menu bars that is
[15:21] <milo__> sipior: okay
[15:22] <dasux> what?
[15:22] <Nickasdf> aha...
[15:22] <ipsemet> if you run them from the terminal what is the output i.e. type "firefox" what does it do
[15:22] <jerkman> scunizi: so, could that be envy?
[15:23] <menboy> hi! everybody
[15:23] <milo__> sipior: it works! thks again
[15:23] <scunizi> jerkman: yep
[15:23] <mib_35ozkd9n> *sigh*
[15:24] <jerkman> scunizi: im removing envy, then will install newest drivers from nvidia
[15:25] <Faaabi> heyhey
[15:25] <love_ubuntu> i checked my daemon.log, and found out that why is mysql isn't started on startup. because it can't find ip that i set on my.cnf, since the service is trying to start itself before starting eth0, is there a way to swap it?
[15:25] <dasux> hey
[15:25] <cram> sipior: ok, i'm back in after removing iptables and installing it again :P
[15:26] <kfogel> How can I tell what video card I have?  (dmesg doesn't seem to say...)
[15:26] <cram> sipior: is there any other way i can debug the problem? running that script line by line seems to be impossible as it'll kick me off ssh
[15:26] <Halitech> kfogel, lshw -C video or lspci
[15:26] <kfogel> Halitech: thank you
[15:26] <sipior> cram: well, you can just leave off the DROP directives, no?
[15:26] <LaMs> Any of you experience a problem with an upgrade recently ? I lost all my personnal config (.bashrc ... .vimrc ... evolution settings.. gnome theme settings and so on) also my mouse doesn't work anymore in "man" or vim
[15:27] <ircnickiuse> how would it be possible that wget has been setup to require sudo?
[15:27] <sipior> cram: ensure that the accept for inbound port 22 is first...
[15:27] <ircnickiuse> I see it on a machine I am using
[15:27] <PhotoJim> ircnickiuse: do you have write access to the directory where you are trying to put the file?
[15:27] <ircnickiuse> does ubuntu ever ship with wget locked down?
[15:27] <sipior> ircnickiuse: no
[15:27] <ircnickiuse> PhotoJim: why would I not have permission to execute wget
[15:28] <ircnickiuse> You think the idiots who setup my hosting machine did it? common practice?
[15:28] <PhotoJim> ircnickiuse: I don't know.  what happens if you specify the full path?
[15:28] <ircnickiuse> PhotoJim: I can touch in that folder, and wget works when I sudo
[15:28] <sipior> ircnickiuse: why don't we start with the exact command you tried, and the exact error?
[15:28] <ircnickiuse> sipior: yeah, run wget, permission denied, that is all
[15:28] <shekar> hi.
[15:28] <sipior> ircnickiuse: and ls -l `which wget`
[15:29] <ircnickiuse>  /usr/bin/wget
[15:29] <ircnickiuse> -bash: /usr/bin/wget: Permission denied
[15:29] <shekar> ubuntu doesn't recognise my network..
[15:29] <shekar> i am on wired connection..
[15:29] <ircnickiuse> yet, wget -m youporn.com  #works like a charm
[15:29] <PhotoJim> ircnickiuse: ls -l /usr/bin/wget ... what is the output?
[15:29] <ircnickiuse> with sudo
[15:29] <neo_> .
[15:29] <shekar> somebody here told to use ifup eth0.. but didn't work..
[15:29] <shekar> pls help me :)
[15:29] <parpar> Almost all of my menu bars (File, Edit, ...) have disappeared in applications like calculator, Gimp, Evolution, gLabel, etc.  With the exception of Firefox and Openoffice.  I am using Ubuntu Jaunty.
[15:30] <ircnickiuse> PhotoJim: it is 700 permissions and root owned :(
[15:30] <J_A_X> anyone care to help me figure out why gradients looks so choppy compared to windows?
[15:30] <sipior> ircnickiuse: well, there's your problem.
[15:30] <sipior> ircnickiuse: easy to fix, anyway.
[15:30] <ircnickiuse> but - hrm, who would do such a thing. sipior yeah, I know it is restricted, I am just curious, and asking, if ubuntu, server or something, ever ships like this
[15:30] <ircnickiuse> I told them, slap this on, and don't arse around on it.
[15:30] <sipior> ircnickiuse: as i said, no.
[15:30] <ircnickiuse> yeah. they suck.
[15:30] <ircnickiuse> thanks
[15:31] <Halitech> J_A_X, what video card do you have and have you installed the restricted drivers for it?
[15:31] <J_A_X> nvidia 8400, and yes
[15:31] <J_A_X> it looks like if the settings were brought down to 16bit color instead of 24 or something
[15:32] <Halitech> J_A_X, what do you mean by choppy?
[15:32] <shekar> network on live cd doesn't work ubuntu jaunty...
[15:32] <J_A_X> like I said, looks like if it's missing color depth
[15:32] <sipior> shekar: are you making use of dchp?
[15:32] <Halitech> J_A_X, 16bit and 24bit shouldn't look that different
[15:32] <cram> sipior: is there a conf file where these iptables rules would be being saved?
[15:33] <shekar> yes
[15:33] <shekar> sipior: mine is dynamic ip.. connection behind a router..
[15:33] <Halitech> J_A_X, have you tried running nvidia-settings (I think thats the proper name)
[15:33] <sipior> cram: no, but you can use the iptables-save script to stick then somewhere, and iptables-restore to get them back.
[15:33] <sipior> shekar: does "sudo dhclient eth0" do anything for you?
[15:34] <shekar> didn't try..
[15:34] <cram> sipior: so i could iptables-save >> blah.conf then read that?
[15:34] <shekar> sipior: didn't try.. should try and see..
[15:34] <J_A_X> Halitech, doing it right now
[15:35] <J_A_X> it's at depth 24...
[15:35] <sipior> cram: sure, though that will have to be run as root. stick the iptables-restore in /etc/rc.local.
[15:35] <sipior> cram: also, i'd just redirect, not append.
[15:35] <Dekko> Hello everyone, can someone here please tell me why my Ubuntu 9.04 has stopped showing the splash screen during the whole boot process, but drops to text mode "Loading files needed to boot" and then proceeds to show all that its doing. I did check and fix the UUID for the swapfile etc.
[15:35] <Halitech> J_A_X, not sure then, I've got an ATI card currently
[15:36] <cram> sipior: i was just wanting to see what rules were there, not change them manually... what do you mean by redirect not append?
[15:36] <Dekko> And I don't get any errors during boot. Everything works except the splash bit.
[15:36] <J_A_X> Halitech, well, my laptop has an ati, and it does the same thing
[15:36] <J_A_X> :/
[15:36] <genii> cram:  >> appends (adds to the end of the file) which you don't want
[15:37] <mickster04> dekko
[15:37] <cram> genii: oh right, as opposed to a pipe?
[15:37] <mickster04> dekko, can u tell me whats in ur menu.lst
[15:37] <sipior> cram: well, if you use ">>", you append to the target file. but you almost certainly don't want that, as you will save an extra copy of your iptables rules every time you shutdown. just one ">" will do.
[15:37] <genii> cram:  Just >
[15:37] <cram> sipior: right, ta
[15:37] <Dekko> mickster04: there's LOTS in that file :-P Anything in particular
[15:37] <cram> genii: what's the difference between > and | then?
[15:38] <Halitech> J_A_X, can you post a screen shot?
[15:38] <Dekko> My boot line looks like this   /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-generic root=UUID=4da92df0-1973-412e-9f75-1355d2d86eae ro quiet splash
[15:38] <genii> cram: Thats a question for #bash ;)
[15:38] <mickster04> errrmmm well in the option for the kernel you use it should say splash somewhere
[15:38] <prince_jammys> cram: > redirects output to a file. | sends the output to the input of another command
[15:38] <zet_> any skype meneger for ubuntu?
[15:38] <dasux> aha
[15:38] <ikonia> !skype > zet_
[15:38] <smacktalk> anyone have a suggestion on converting .flac to mp3?
[15:39] <mickster04> dekko, root=UUID=bla bla bla ro quiet splash
[15:39] <arand> cram: well > send to a file, and | send to another application, if we want to over-simplify...
[15:39] <anjuder> bonjour tout le monde
[15:39] <anjuder> ya des francais par ici?
[15:39] <cram> thanks
[15:39] <Pici> !fr | anjuder
[15:40] <anjuder> merci
[15:40] <Dekko> mickster04: yes it does say that for me but still it drops to text mode.
[15:40] <jon_high9000> sipior: I tried your suggestion and i found that in /etc/resolv.conf has my dsl modems ip address. so i cannot mess with it if i want to surf the web.
[15:40] <Dekko> ALL seems to load properly and everything works, but it drops to textmode.
[15:40] <sipior> jon_high9000: which suggestion was this?
[15:41] <J_A_X> Halitech, http://imagebin.ca/view/qRHfrMFP.html
[15:41] <mickster04> dekko do u see splash at the end of the line?
[15:41] <mickster04> next to the boot option you use?
[15:41] <J_A_X> that gradient is suppose to be all smooth
[15:41] <J_A_X> it works great in windows, just not in linux
[15:42] <fabio123> if you use FF 3.5: plase try this http://voglioscendere.ilcannocchiale.it/
[15:42] <Halitech> J_A_X, looks like a solid black image to me
[15:42] <fabio123> FF 3.5 seems to freeze
[15:42] <J_A_X> you don't see the gradient?!
[15:42] <sipior> smacktalk: http://soundconverter.berlios.de/
[15:42] <Dekko> okay lets see if that works
[15:42] <Dekko> rebooting
[15:42] <mickster04>  J_A_X i see a gradient to the middle then its back to gray from the middlre to the right
[15:43] <Halitech> J_A_X, no, just a full black for some reason
[15:43] <jon_high9000> I had a problem setting up Static ip address in Network Manager couple days ago and you rederred to a Command line method of setting it up.
[15:43] <J_A_X> Halitech, then your color setup is even more messed than mine
[15:43] <jon_high9000> referred
[15:43] <Halitech> J_A_X, all my other colors work, I'm trying it in opera to see what happens there
[15:43] <mickster04> J_A_X its like a bevel that comes up from the image then that ledge goes left?
[15:44] <fabio123> try FF 3.5 here: http://voglioscendere.ilcannocchiale.it/
[15:44] <J_A_X> yeah
[15:44] <Halitech> J_A_X, no, even in opera it looks black
[15:44] <sipior> jon_high9000: and why do you need to mess with /etc/resolv.conf if it already has your modem's address?
[15:44] <mickster04> J_A_X and its all black/ grey but quite dark
[15:44] <J_A_X> mickster04, but the thing is, on both my linux boxes, the gradient is choppy, where it's smooth on windows
[15:44] <sipior> jon_high9000: (assuming your modem is handling name service)
[15:44] <J_A_X> I was thinking it was color depth
[15:45] <J_A_X> because it looks almost exactly like if I'd be running 16bit instead of 24
[15:45] <mickster04> J_A_X well i can think of smother gradients, but the also choppier but ots not bad for me
[15:45] <Raydiation> wow, since when is the load new packages of update manager and synaptic so fast
[15:45] <J_A_X> mickster04, it's not bad, but it's still there
[15:45] <J_A_X> and I design often, and it pisses me off :P
[15:45] <jon_high9000> sipior: please don't get me wrong. i am not assigning blame.
[15:46] <mickster04> J_A_X hmm, i think u may be right about the colour depth
[15:46] <ggg> 8-)
[15:46] <J_A_X> but the color depth is 24
[15:46] <J_A_X> unless I'm missing osmething
[15:46] <J_A_X> like color correction or something
[15:46] <sipior> jon_high9000: i'm not concerned about blame, i'm trying to understand what the problem is :-)
[15:46] <ggg> J_A_X: what's the problem?
[15:47] <jon_high9000> sipior: then we are cool then. great! :-)
[15:47] <J_A_X> ggg, gradients and other things like that (shadow, etc) looks like if the color depth is 16bit and not 24
[15:47] <J_A_X> even though it is 24
[15:47] <J_A_X> it's like if I need some kind of color correction somewhere
[15:47] <mickster04> hmm
[15:48] <J_A_X> everything works fine in windows, it displays like it should, just not in linux
[15:48] <ggg> J_A_X: gradient ,shadow in photoshop?
[15:48] <J_A_X> yes
[15:48] <J_A_X> well, in any app really
[15:48] <jon_high9000> sipior:  an example: "sudo ifconfig eth0 <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <IP_ADDRESS> broadcast <IP_ADDRESS>"
[15:49] <jerkman> why would i be unable to open any gtk programs, but be able to open all things KDE?
[15:49] <cuen> g'evenin all.
[15:49] <sipior> jon_high9000: okay, so that sets the interface. what does this have to do with resolv.conf?
[15:49] <ggg> J_A_X: do you use gimp?
[15:49] <jon_high9000> sipior: just so we're on the same page here: you will need to specify a nameserver address (preferably two) in /etc/resolv.conf. you only specify ip addresses (not dns names) when configuring the network interfaces, however.
[15:50] <sipior> jon_high9000: okay, so you've added your modem's address to /etc/resolv.conf, right?
[15:50] <jerkman> scunizi: hey..
[15:50] <J_A_X> ggg, I have, does the same thing
[15:50] <dasux> cucu
[15:50] <J_A_X> *all* gradients do this
[15:50] <jon_high9000> sipior: it was already there.
[15:50] <bugo> how do you fix irc clients so they open irc links?
[15:50] <J_A_X> even the kde windows shadows look like ass
[15:51] <mib_35ozkd9n> hello folks.  can anyone tell me what "Main Menu" under System, Admiistration, Main Menu is supposed to do?
[15:51] <sipior> jon_high9000: sure, probably pulled over from when you were using dhcp. so what's the problem, exactly?
[15:51] <leogazio> hi, how could I move a folder to a level up?
[15:51] <jerkman> why would i be unable to open any gtk programs, but be able to open all things KDE?
[15:51] <dajhorn> J_A_X: Run `xdpyinfo` at a prompt and check whether you've got 32 color depths anywhere.
[15:52] <jrib> leogazio: mv foo ..
[15:52] <cuen> exit
[15:52] <cuen> grmbl... -.-*
[15:52] <leogazio> aham, thanx
[15:52] <mib_35ozkd9n> I ask because I click on it and nothing happens.  The computer makes a noise like it is doing something, but no visible change on the screen that I can see.  Except that I think it killed my applications menu.
[15:53] <J_A_X> dajhorn, says I got 7 color depths
[15:53] <J_A_X> 32's there...
[15:53] <J_A_X> which is weird
[15:53] <vigo> mib_35ozkd9n: That widget is to change or adjust default programs and such as that.
[15:53] <dajhorn> J_A_X: In the "supported pixmap formats" section check for "depth 32, bits_per_pixel 32, scanline_pad 32".
[15:53] <jon_high9000> sipior: for some apparent reason the static ip address reverts back to the original ip address after rebooting. uncertain why.
[15:53] <menboy> how do i launch a iso file from my USB with ubuntu? it's a costumized operating system made with niblex
[15:54] <mib_35ozkd9n> vigo: it seems to have done something where now I have no applications in my appl=s menu
[15:54] <J_A_X> dajhorn, it's there
[15:54] <indus> hi
[15:54] <dajhorn> J_A_X: And in the "screen0" section, check for "depths (7):    24, 1, 4, 8, 15, 16, 32"
[15:54] <mib_35ozkd9n> like, as in there are no applications in it.  i can launch them by doing alt-f2 "name of app"  but can't click on anything.
[15:54] <Dr_Willis> bugo:  depends on the irc client. for xchat theres a 'url handler' setting
[15:54] <sipior> jon_high9000: ifconfig only sets the interface until shutdown. you'll need to modify /etc/network/interfaces for the change to survive a reboot. i seem to remember sending you a link that explained this...let me see if i can find it again.
[15:54] <tripppy> hi all.
[15:55] <J_A_X> dajhorn, yup, that's there as well
[15:55] <michaelwooo> hi gays, i have a laptop use intel gma950 video card, and the command hwinfo show me that it's bios dont support 1280by768 resolution,so i cant use the best console resolution. anyone have a good idea?
[15:55] <dajhorn> J_A_X: Or something similar.  The screen needs to be capable of 24 or 32 bit depths for a program to show a smooth gradient.
[15:55] <bugo> Dr_Willis: where is that
[15:55] <tripppy> can anyone help me with ati drivers. not sure why its not installing
[15:55] <menboy> how do i launch a iso file from my USB with ubuntu? it's a costumized operating system made with niblex
[15:55] <vigo> mib_35ozkd9c: Did you try a reboot and restore last good config or a revert on that Main Menu
[15:55] <Dr_Willis> bugo:  in the xchat menus. I dont know about xchat-gnome. i use  the normal xchat.
[15:55] <bugo> i use chat regular
[15:55] <mib_35ozkd9n> i rebooted a few times.  what is "last good config"?  also: i click on Main Menu and i don't actually see anything change on the screen, so i can not click on "revert"
[15:55] <dajhorn> J_A_X: Okay, then isolate for an X11 problem or an application glitch.  Open something like GIMP and tell it to paint a gradient.
[15:56] <Dr_Willis> bugo:  xchat here under ubuntu 9.04 opens links in my browser just fine.
[15:56] <sipior> jon_high9000: here's a straightforward example of modifying /etc/network/interfaces: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/change-ubuntu-server-from-dhcp-to-a-static-ip-address/
[15:56] <willis_> http://www.google.com
[15:56] <ankaboot> Hello everyone. Where do I ask about installing Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope from a DVD in Windows Vista?
[15:56] <tvasht> hi everyone, my screen resoltion is 800x600 and i want 1024x800. so i went to tty6 and stopped gdm then restarted it with /etc/init.d/gdm start, stop. but i m getting some framebuffer error.
[15:56] <designs703> I just installed an Nvidia driver to enable Compiz, but it messed some things up in terms of screen position. I've decided I do not want to use this driver (I can do without the effects), but it seems like a bad idea to remove a package with "kernel" in the name (nvidia-glx-new and nvidia-kernel-common are installed). What's the safe way to revert to the old graphics driver and remove the Nvidia stuff?
[15:56] <J_A_X> dajhorn, it can't be computer specific, I have the same thing for both kubuntu boxes
[15:56] <menboy> how do i boot a iso file with grub?
[15:56] <bugo> xchat regular isnt opening the damn links
[15:56] <|Ryan> Is KDE better than Gnome?
[15:56] <J_A_X> each of them on different video cards
[15:56] <Dr_Willis> |Ryan:  install both - try them.. you decided.
[15:56] <|Ryan> Hmmk.
[15:56] <dajhorn> J_A_X:  Check whether it is application specific.  Does it happen for two different programs?
[15:56] <bugo> Dr_Willis: the program starts then just sits there
[15:57] <vigo> mib_35ozkd9n: at boot there are a few choices, one is restore or repair thing, hang on let me see if I can find a screenshot.
[15:57] <Dr_Willis> bugo:  try with a different user, or clear out all your xchat settings perhaps and start with the defaults.
[15:57] <J_A_X> dajhorn, yup
[15:57] <menboy> can somebody help me please?
[15:57] <Dr_Willis> bugo:  could be i got some old xchat settings from way back.
[15:57] <menboy> how do i boot a iso file with grub?
[15:57] <designs703> Never mind, found a control panel for this
[15:57] <J_A_X> vmware, konq, firefox
[15:58] <MaT-dg> to run a program I need libxerces-c27. In the repo's there is libxerces-c28 available but that doesn't work... how can i get libxerces-c27?
[15:58] <jon_high9000> sipior: already have it thanks.  i will go back and read it.
[15:58] <sipior> jon_high9000: okay, have fun
[15:58] <Dr_Willis> menboy:  as far as i know theres no 'general' way to do that. Some disrtos have specicif features that sort of allow it. once you have the kernel extracted from the iso.
[15:58] <ankaboot> Where do I ask about installing Ubuntu 9.04 along with Win Vista?
[15:58] <dajhorn> J_A_X: Okay, then I don't have any more suggestions.  You've got a large number of things to check.  X11 extensions, X11 properties, video driver, etc...
[15:58] <mib_35ozkd9n> recovery mode?  memtest86?  and generic regular are what i have as options for ubuntu.
[15:58] <J_A_X> :(
[15:58] <mweichert> hello, I just installed a new kernel with the latest nvidia drivers. When the system starts, the nvidia module won't load. Modprobe won't load the nvidia module either. However, insmod nvidia works. Any ideas?
[15:58] <J_A_X> thanks for the help
[15:58] <menboy> so how do i boot it?? where do i have to extratct it?
[15:59] <Dr_Willis> ankaboot:  its handy to have 2 hard drives one for windows, one for linux In that case. :) or use vista  and its tools to resize vista befor trying to install linux.
[15:59] <jerkman> how do i get my iconsto show up
[15:59] <menboy> it's a cutsomized OS made with niblex
[15:59] <Dr_Willis> menboy:  theres no general way to do it. its all very disrto specific.  I would say check the niblex homepage then
[15:59] <mib_35ozkd9n> i will try recovery and see what happens.
[15:59] <menboy> i did :P there is no manual on how to boot it
[15:59] <Viza> hi i just upgraded to 9.04 and i can't get my wallpaper to display, any ideas?
[16:00] <Dr_Willis> menboy:   check their forums or channels then i guess.
[16:00] <menboy> ok, thx for help
[16:00] <Dr_Willis> menboy:  it may not be possible to boot it from an iso file.
[16:00] <jerkman> all my icons are missing, how do i get gnome desktop to work properlky
[16:00] <ankaboot> Dr_Willis:  I have used ubuntu 8.04 for a year.. but i used Wubi to install it.. this time 9.04 won't install with wubi, so i'm afraid i'll mess up the partitions.
[16:00] <dajhorn> mweichert: Run `sudo depmod --all` at a prompt and try modprobe again.
[16:01] <Dr_Willis> ankaboot:  i hate wubi so i dont use it.  repartioning is rather straight forwared. resize windows.. free up some unallocated at the end of the drive.. let the installer use the unallocated space.
[16:01] <SRN9> quick question, and cant find online any reason why Im having this issue, any and all video editors on ubuntu would all crash while trying to encode and export to avi or mpg4. and all known deps were installed any ideas why this would happen?
[16:01] <menboy> ankaboot: uninstall 8.04 first then try again ( i had the same problem )
[16:01] <Dr_Willis> ankaboot:  given the problems ive heard of with wubi.. id rather repartion. Or use linux in virtualbox.
[16:01] <mweichert> dajhorn, yes, I tried that... no go.
[16:01] <jerkman> all my icons are missing, how do i get gnome desktop to work properlky
[16:01] <ankaboot> Dr_Willis: It's a bit tricky for me..
[16:01] <Dr_Willis> ankaboot:  time to learn.
[16:01] <Dr_Willis> ankaboot:  or  do like suggested above
[16:01] <ankaboot> Dr_Willis: Anyway, thank you very much for your help..
[16:01] <vigo> mib_35ozkd9n: here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:GRUB_screenshot.png
[16:01] <dajhorn> mweichert: What does `modprobe --verbose nvidia` tell you?
[16:02] <mweichert> dajhorn, FATAL: Error running install command for nvidia
[16:03] <mweichert> dajhorn, the error I posted above, but with "/sbin/lrm-video nvidia" listed as the install command
[16:04] <jerkman> all my icons are missing, how do i get gnome desktop to work properlky
[16:04] <WeazelON> hey guys, can anyone explain the noobish me, how to install a checkpoint client via ubuntu 9.04 ?
[16:04] <mib_35ozkd9n> thanks, vigo.  i rebooted into recovery mode and told it to fix broken packages.
[16:04] <WeazelON> that is of course vpn client..
[16:04] <vigo> jerkman: fix grub usually works
[16:04] <mib_35ozkd9n> that did not resolve my problem.  is there another option i should choose in the recovery menus?
[16:04] <ankaboot> menboy: that's what i did.. i was gonna install a fresh copy of 9.04.. but after installation of ubuntu files reaches 100% (inside ubuntu GUI) , computer restarts and then just the blinking hyphen to the top left on the screen and then nothing else!
[16:04] <tvasht> hey how do i know which nvidia package i have to install?
[16:05] <tvasht> pls help
[16:05] <jerkman> vigo: grub??
[16:05] <jerkman> this is gnome desktop
[16:05] <vigo> mib_35ozkd9n: I hope that solves it , it should.
[16:05] <mweichert> dajhorn, it's as if modprobe thinks I'm running a different kernel
[16:05] <ankaboot> menboy: i even downloaded the iso from ubuntu website and burned to DVD, but i'm afraid i'll mess up the partitions
[16:05] <WeazelON> vigo: ur name is the guy from the picture in ghostbusters II ? :P
[16:05] <menboy> ankaboot: hmmm i did it that way and it works fine
[16:05] <dajhorn> mweichert: Did a kernel upgrade break the system?
[16:06] <SRN9> vigo the carpathian!
[16:06] <ankaboot> I just regret uninstalling 8.04 so badly
[16:06] <Myth_> how to see which port my BT use
[16:06] <mib_35ozkd9n> vigo: recovery and dpkg did not fix it.  is there somethign else in the recovery menu worth trying?
[16:06] <jerkman> vigo, surely grub has nothing to do with gnome desktop
[16:06] <mickster04> anybody know if u can assign a keyboard shortcut to opening the menu?
[16:06] <vigo> jerkman: Yes, the bootloader is GRUB, fix grub should fix or repair any icon stuff, if not do what that recovery thing at boot, and as usual,,,
[16:06] <mib_35ozkd9n> "try to auto repair graphic problems"?  fsck?
[16:06] <vigo> !backup
[16:07] <WeazelON> anyone knows about Check Point VPN client in Ubuntu 9.04 maybe ? helpy help help ?
[16:07] <shiznebit> mickster04: Ctrl + ALT + F1
[16:07] <mweichert> dajhorn, no, just X... and like I said, if I use insmod instead of modprobe then X is happy, cuz the nvidia module loads
[16:07] <shiznebit> mickster04: ALT + F1
[16:07] <mickster04> shizit anyway of chanigng that?
[16:07] <mickster04> changing*
[16:07] <mickster04> shiznebit*
[16:07] <n0gear> my processor runs 100% constantly, but system monitors processes show only c.20% . what might cause this? Just installed VMware player (not in ude now) and tried to add a second monitor
[16:07] <ankaboot> menboy: by the way, since the installation of 9.04 with wubi was incomplete, uninstalling ubuntu from windows vista is now not possible at all.. It gives me an error message. Which amplifies the problem
[16:08] <shiznebit> mickster04: System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts
[16:08] <mickster04> ta
[16:08] <n0gear> any logs i could check for whats wrong?
[16:08] <menboy> ankaboot: im using windows XP everything is working fine... idk how to fix your problem
[16:08] <WeazelON> mickster04: System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts
[16:08] <WeazelON> doh
[16:09] <shiznebit> n0gear: in terminal do $  top
[16:09] <vigo> mib_35ozkd9n: There should be like four or five repair options there in GUI, one is Repair Broken Packages.
[16:09] <menboy> ankaboot: maybe it is possible to download a update only?
[16:09] <Myth_> how to see which port my bluetooth use, i use 9.04
[16:09] <ankaboot> menboy: thank you very much!
[16:09] <mib_35ozkd9n> vigo: i tried repair broken packages, and no love.
[16:09] <menboy> ankaboot: np ;)
[16:09] <mib_35ozkd9n> this is fascinating to me.  i am very good at breaking things.
[16:09] <dajhorn> mweichert: That suggests that a modprobe file is stale or misconfigured.

[16:12] <NetLarIrvine> I need to increase my Ubuntu partition, but gParted will not let me increase the Ubuntu partition, it will only let me decrease it. Why is that?
[16:15] <mweichert> dajhorn, I think I got it. In /etc/modprobe.d/lrm-video, there was an entry related to the nvidia module. I commented it out and I could modprobe the module
[16:15] <mweichert> dajhorn, gonna restart to be sure

[16:19] <bgy> How to check if my firewire port is available/recognized ?

[16:31] <ruadh> yellabs, thanks
[16:31] <durt> oenone1, they have an ubuntu repo that you need to add to your /etc/apt/sources.list
[16:31] <bishop> briansbeers if your vista is good you can reinstall ubuntu inside vista. vista is a pain.
[16:32] <yellabs> Wythe , are you on wireless ?
[16:32] <durt> oenone1, just follow the instructions
[16:32] <boss_mc> Wythe: have you tried searching for the fastest server (in System->Admin->software sources)?
[16:32] <mr_frostee> Vista is the reason I'm using Ubuntu
[16:32] <ux> JohnQ_,  route add -net <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <IP_ADDRESS> dev vpn
[16:32] <oenone1> @durt: sorry but im just new in ubuntu dunno the terminologies yet
[16:32] <mweichert> hmm, new problem. Installed the latest nvidia drivers, but gnome menu highlighting is very weird. As i hover my mouse over items, they remain highlighted. Also in gnome-terminal, characters appear as a black block, like a cursor symbol
[16:32] <ux> JohnQ_, route add -net <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <IP_ADDRESS> dev eth0
[16:32] <JohnQ_> ux ?
[16:32] <Wythe> yes i am but I've tried it connected directly to the modem and it does the same thing
[16:32] <brianbeers> vista seems fine. I'm checking in ubuntu recovery mode to see if I can find something
[16:33] <shiznebit> Wythe: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=981085
[16:33] <JohnQ_> none of my traffic would be routed to the vpn then ux
[16:33] <yellabs> Wythe , set wireless rate to 11 mb or so
[16:33] <Wythe> and yeah it gave me an error message for finding the best server
[16:33] <Wythe> how do i set the wireless rate?
[16:33] <mr_frostee> Wythe....Do you have torrents downloading at the same time as updating?
[16:33] <JohnQ_> i just want outgoing port 80 to route through eth0
[16:33] <durt> oenone1, read over the instructions first, ask questions here and then you should know enough to do it.
[16:33] <GenericBox> Ok - the clock is running, but I cannot click on anything or select anything
[16:33] <bishop> its easy. put ubuntu disc in tray when vista is loaded
[16:33] <oenone1> what instructions ?
[16:33] <GenericBox> Its just a little grabby hand cursor
[16:34] <ux> JohnQ_, first command route ur traffic to vpn and second on eth0 iface

[16:34] <Wythe> no no torrents downloading
[16:34] <ux> JohnQ_, u need only change networks
[16:34] <brianbeers> Could vista + ubuntu on the save HD be the problem. I could try installing them on separate HDs
[16:34] <Hodapp> bluegoon: it's just UPnP, isn't it?
[16:35] <Hodapp> bluegoon: use Mediatomb or something
