[17:27] <GortiZ> hi to all
[17:28] <GortiZ> i've a question 'bout parallel compilation under ubuntu: How can i set the -j parameter for the make file such that every time that the system compiles something will use that parameter? (in gentoo is a variable into make.conf i wish to obtain something like that)
[17:28] <zanberdo> question about crontab: I've added an entry that looks like this: 55 08 * * * /home/maint/backup.sh -C /home/maint/backup.conf -? >> /home/maint/backup/backup_`date +%Y-%m-%d`.log 2>&1  My problem is the back-quotes around date don't seem to translate.  I've tried it is date in $() but that seems to fail too.  How do I pass a variable such as date to crontab?
[17:28] <marcel> andrew_, back
[17:28] <marcel> andrew_, you have wicd now?
[17:28] <NIdYa> HI
[17:28] <koolkartik> http://paste.ubuntu.com/152890/ need help on it
[17:29] <DragonRift> does anyone here use SLI
[17:29] <marcel> koolkartik, sudo apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic
[17:29] <foldingstock> DragonRift: I only use ABCDEFGHJKMNOPQRTUVWXYZ
[17:30] <DragonRift> I am being serious
[17:30] <GortiZ> foldingstock: -.-'!
[17:30] <marcel> DragonRift, i'm not using it, dont see why
[17:31]  * cousin_luigi just upgraded to jaunty: update-manager complained about not being able to install ca-certificates
[17:31] <r3dux> foldingstock=${//^A-Z/bananas}
[17:31] <Sonix1a> Sli is for games
[17:31] <foldingstock> heh, sorry
[17:31] <flo-isback> Can't get Xorg to start , it starts i get blank screen and can only move mouse. any help would be welcome
[17:31] <foldingstock> tbh I don't see the point on using SLI unless you're gaming
[17:31] <foldingstock> and then, you should be on Windows
[17:31] <ActionParsnip> foldingstock: you can game well on linux
[17:32] <usser> foldingstock, theres a point in sli even on linux, CUDA comes to mind
[17:32] <corey> foldingstock: there are a few and I do mean few, reasons aside from gaming to use sli
[17:32] <r3dux> foldingstock, not to worry, I've been bash coding recently, it's a bit of a nuisance. {//[whatever you put is replaced with]/[this]}
[17:32] <albech> why isnt a variable exported in a script like: export VAR="VALUE" available in other later scripts? Do I have to specify it as a global variable?
[17:32] <Sonix1a> Linux ain't for gaming so sli lol
[17:32] <corey> foldingstock: There are a few cloud computing apps that use GPU's
[17:32] <Foor> Linux is a great os to game on there just arnt many games
[17:33] <marcel> albech, thats an environment variable you're declaring, you should use arguments
[17:33] <flo-isback> Can't get Xorg to start , it starts i get blank screen and can only move mouse. any help would be welcome
[17:33] <r3dux> Linux is not a great OS to game on, or even emulate on. But it IS an awesome OS.
[17:33] <corey> Foor: Thats why I have a dual boot
[17:33] <marcel> linux is a great game os, there are just no games for it, unreal tournament runs faster then windows
[17:33] <Sonix1a> directx is king don't think I like it but it is fact
[17:34] <alok_> Using Winduhs for gaming? whats the fun in that?
[17:34] <r3dux> I just use my 360 to game...
[17:34] <Foor> r3dux: i can run Quake wars at over 200 fps on linux compared to 44 on windows
[17:34] <albech> marcel, i want to declare an environment variable ;)
[17:34] <r3dux> Foor, Nobody plays Quake Wars.
[17:34] <Sonix1a> Thank bill gates rofl
[17:34] <DragonRift> I am a game developer
[17:34] <corey> Foor: Must be virus'
[17:34] <DragonRift> and am making a mmo engine
[17:34] <DragonRift> I need my SLI working
[17:34] <marcel> albech, so $VAR is empty?
[17:34] <DragonRift> :/
[17:34] <Ghoti_> r3dux: I use my 360 to watch media streamed from my Ubuntu box :)
[17:35] <foldingstock> Foor: sounds like your system has some malware running in the background
[17:35] <r3dux> Ghoti, so do I, I use twonky - what do you use?
[17:35] <corey> Foor: Yes and alot of it!
[17:35] <marcel> albech, what does env say?
[17:35] <Sonix1a> Directx is a monopoly
[17:35] <Ghoti_> r3dux: ushare. Never seen or heard of twonky- any good?
[17:35] <albech> no $VAR doesnt exist
[17:36] <corey> what is  a good application for adding and editing hotkeys?
[17:36] <marcel> albech, to what value do you set VAR?
[17:36] <armence> Is there a way to modify the "Places" menu?
[17:36] <r3dux> Ghoti_, works for me well enough... I just point it at my videos folder on the NAS, and play whatever I want..
[17:36] <marcel> albech, export VAR=1
[17:36] <Foor> the point im making is that linux is customizable so i can get better proformance out of it compaired to windows
[17:36] <marcel> albech, echo $VAR
[17:36] <epaphus> thank you
[17:36] <Ghoti_> r3dux: my one complaint about ushare is that you need to restart it to refresh the files seen on the 360
[17:36] <albech> marcel, that works
[17:36] <marcel> albech, so what are you using in your script
[17:36] <albech> marcel, but when export VAR=1 is within a script it is cleared when the script ends
[17:36] <corey> what is  a good application for adding and editing hotkeys?
[17:36] <r3dux> Foor - the point I'm making is that linux doesn't have many good games, month by month, like windows or the 360/PS3 does
[17:36] <r3dux> Simple fact.
[17:37] <r3dux> I love linux. I just game elsewhere.
[17:37] <albech> marcel, i want another script to be able to pick up that variable later on if needed
[17:37] <c420s> is there an easy way to remove the ubuntu delivered glib?, I compiled and installed a new version, but when I try to compile atk it's still finding the old version ???
[17:37] <marcel> albech, i've never done it that way, i think its bad design, you should give arguments to another script
[17:37] <Foor> r3dux, not having many good games doesnt mean it cant do it, it means there arnt many games
[17:37] <albech> marcel, yes, you might be right
[17:37] <corey> r3dux: Isnt the time between good games decreasing?
[17:38] <marcel> albech, for instance: script_two.sh -o test
[17:38] <koolkartik> marcel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/152896/
[17:38] <Sonix1a> Gaming is not on Linux because they all want money
[17:38] <g[r]eek> Hi guys - I want to test my websites on IE. What are my options for installing and running IE?
[17:38] <Ghoti_> corey: I'd rather have time to enjoy the good games before the next ones come out anyhow :)
[17:38] <albech> marcel, you i know how that works, but it just isnt viable in this case ;)
[17:38] <foldingstock> Foor: that's kind of a redundant point; much like saying a certain type of pen is awesome for writing, but no one makes ink for it
[17:38] <ActionParsnip> r3dux: some new games will play on linux just fine
[17:38] <r3dux> lol Foor - point taken. We're a minority... one soul at a time :)
[17:38] <albech> marcel, you = yep
[17:38] <Ghoti_> !wine > g[r]eek
[17:38] <Ubersoldat> g[r]eek: you could try installing ie4linux. but it's performance sucks
[17:38] <marcel> koolkartik, so it works again?
[17:39] <corey> Ghoti_ : I have a whole shelf full of unopened games for the ps3!
[17:39] <g[r]eek> Ubersoldat, ok, so besides wine and dual booting, is there anything else?
[17:39] <ZeZu> If you have a copy of windows you can use virtualbox :)
[17:39] <marcel> albech, why is it not vaiable
[17:39] <natrixnatrix89> Hi.. When I create bash script.. If i create a command that requires root privileges - what would be the line before that command for it to prompt me for password?
[17:39] <Sonix1a> Blame game developers
[17:39] <g[r]eek> Ghoti_, thanks
[17:39] <Ubersoldat> g[r]eek: virtualization
[17:39] <ActionParsnip> g[r]eek: ies4linux is an option but not ideal, you can run virtualbox to get an accurate test but you will need a windows license
[17:39] <Ghoti_> corey: wow, that's a lot of money collecting dust!
[17:39] <marcel> albech, use arguments or use files like xml
[17:39] <g[r]eek> ActionParsnip, I've got an original windows xp cd
[17:39] <albech> marcel, a little hard to explain.. im pretty limited on this embedded system of mine
[17:39] <r3dux> I can play most graphics demos from pouet on VirtualBox with 3D acceleration in linux... doesn't mean I can play HL2... never tried though, tbh..
[17:39] <koolkartik> marcel: i didn't get wat u said.
[17:40] <lp84> is there any way to change the console resolution in ubuntu server
[17:40] <corey> Ghoti_ : My fav non-franchise store went out of business and was selling stuff 95% off on the last day
[17:40] <marcel> koolkartik, according to what i see in pastebin you have no problems
[17:40] <Ghoti_> r3dux: wine handles Source engine games splendidly :)
[17:40] <ActionParsnip> r3dux: some games have native installers created by the devs
[17:40] <marcel> albech, you lost me
[17:40] <r3dux> Ghoti - ORLY? =D
[17:40] <Ghoti_> corey: holy crap, nice deal!
[17:40] <ActionParsnip> r3dux: also check the loki installer project
[17:40] <natrixnatrix89> When I create bash script.. If i create a command that requires root privileges - what would be the line before that command for it to prompt me for password? it should be something similar to sudo..
[17:40] <Ghoti_> r3dux: really.
[17:40] <rawfael> i am from brazil
[17:41] <Foor> i refuse to play wined games i want native linux games :P
[17:41] <Ghoti_> natrixnatrix89: just as at the prompt: sudo $command_that_needs_root_access
[17:41] <rawfael> and i cant speak english good
[17:41] <marcel> albech, environment variables in a script have a different lifespan / scope
[17:41] <g[r]eek> ActionParsnip, please elaborate on your last comment about getting an accurate test on virtualbox
[17:41] <r3dux> ActionParsnip - I will, cheers
[17:41] <natrixnatrix89> thank's
[17:41] <albech> marcel, its all good.. i will do a little more research and see if i can change the design so it passes on an argument instead of my original idea
[17:41] <koolkartik> marcel: thnx a lot rather thanx a ton :)
[17:41] <corey> Is there a program for creating keyboard shortcuts?
[17:41] <Sonix1a> Wine via cedega is a community effort that gets it all working but a good effort
[17:41] <rawfael> I have a problem to use Encore ENUWI-G2 in ubuntu 8.10
[17:41] <r3dux> (check loki-installer that is)
[17:41] <koolkartik> thnx everybody for solving my prob
[17:41] <Ghoti_> corey: you talking about in X or at the command line?
[17:41] <rawfael> can you help me?
[17:42] <ActionParsnip> g[r]eek: well running ie thriugh wine wont show 100% accurately how it will look as all the windows control commands are translated to linux ones via wine
[17:42] <marcel> albech, there is an standard way of parsing script arguments, i forgot the name
[17:42] <marcel> koolkartik, ok, no problem
[17:42] <corey> Ghoti_ : IDK. I am a noob and I keep using windows shortcuts and weird things are happening
[17:42] <ActionParsnip> g[r]eek: so an accurate test would be virtualisation
[17:42] <g[r]eek> ActionParsnip, i want to know what it will look like in IE on a windows box :)
[17:42] <boo-hoo> anyone using netbook remix candidate??
[17:42] <g[r]eek> ActionParsnip, ok so that's where "virtualbox" come sin?
[17:42] <Ghoti_> corey: what are you trying to do, exactly?
[17:42] <g[r]eek> comes in
[17:42] <r3dux> I tried Windows Beta 7 in VM as my first ever virtual machine... it looks okay, but runs like a dog
[17:43] <lex_> hi
[17:43] <g[r]eek> !virtualbox
[17:43] <ActionParsnip> g[r]eek: then you need a windows boot for 100% accuracy
[17:43] <knobcottage> boo-hoo: I use easy peasy netbook
[17:43] <r3dux> XP runs a lot better, and with 3D accel in VirtualBox
[17:43] <boo-hoo> Knightlust, whats that?
[17:43] <corey> Ghoti_, windows key + m      this mininmizes all in windows but inverts colors in ubuntu
[17:43] <foldingstock> r3dux: W7 runs very well as an install, faster than XP on modern hardware
[17:43] <marcel> albech, see http://aplawrence.com/Unix/getopts.html
[17:43] <r3dux> (32-bit XP guest OS, that is)
[17:43] <foldingstock> r3dux: I haven't tested in a VM though
[17:43] <g[r]eek> ActionParsnip, ok so basically i must install windows on my other pc is what you're saying ;_
[17:43] <ActionParsnip> r3dux: on dual core systems vmware runs a lot smooth (or so ive heard)
[17:44] <boo-hoo> knobcottage, whats that?
[17:44] <Ghoti_> corey: you can set those in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard shortcuts
[17:44] <ActionParsnip> g[r]eek: or you can install windows i a virtual pc
[17:44] <flo-isback> im having a problem starting xorg ,, it start but i can only move mouse. I tried gnome safe mode and rescue option on boot any ideas ?
[17:44] <r3dux> foldingstock, must be me then, cos it kinda sucks nobs for me (t9300 dual-core 2.5Ghz)
[17:44] <g[r]eek> ActionParsnip, what do you mean by virtual pc?
[17:44] <corey> Ghoti_ : thanks!
[17:44] <Ghoti_> corey: cheers!
[17:44] <g[r]eek> ActionParsnip,  is that like VWWare?
[17:44] <g[r]eek> or what's it, VMWare?
[17:44] <knobcottage> boo hoogoogle it.  Its an out of the box ubuntu by a different name
[17:44] <ActionParsnip> g[r]eek: well its a guest system running virtually on a host
[17:44] <DragonRift> so no one here uses SLI?
[17:44] <ActionParsnip> g[r]eek: yes but easier to use and open sourced
[17:45] <g[r]eek> ActionParsnip, ok so what steps do i need to take to set that up
[17:45] <DragonRift> does linux even support SLI?
[17:45] <ActionParsnip> !virtualbox | g[r]eek
[17:45] <squidly> DragonRift: yes it can
[17:45] <g[r]eek> ActionParsnip, ok thanks for your help i will setup virtualbox
[17:45] <ActionParsnip> DragonRift: the proprietary driver does
[17:45] <DragonRift> how
[17:45] <DragonRift> I am using 180
[17:45] <g[r]eek> is gutsy 8.10?
[17:45] <squidly> DragonRift: you have to use the propiertary driver
[17:45] <DragonRift> proprietory driver
[17:45] <g[r]eek> or 8.04?
[17:45] <DragonRift> 8.10
[17:45] <DragonRift> with driver 180
[17:45] <g[r]eek> how do i check my version?
[17:46] <knobcottage> boo-hoo: it used to be called eeeubuntu
[17:46] <g[r]eek> i think im on feisty...
[17:46] <Kingsy> can someone tell, how can I convert a .mpg file to a uncompressed avi file? by that I mean a avi file that will play on any machine without the need of divx or xvid codecs etc.. just a plain avi format..
[17:46] <Kingsy> it doesnt matter about size
[17:46] <squidly> DragonRift: grep SLI /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[17:46] <squidly> that will tell you if it's there
[17:46] <ActionParsnip> g[r]eek: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose; sudo adduser $USER vboxusers
[17:46] <r3dux> ActionParsnip - I come in here maybe once a month, and each time you're here (3 months in a row) and busy being helpful - I'd just like to say thanks. People like you make it all work.
[17:46] <flo-isback> Need help getting X ton work.. please.
[17:46] <boo-hoo> knobcottage, cool what netbook? i have the european version of MSI WIND (medion akoya)
[17:46] <ActionParsnip> g[r]eek: thats all it takes to install, you will then need to log off and on
[17:46] <knobcottage> Kingsy:  VLC will convert most things
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> flo-isback: reboot to recovery mode for your kernel
[17:47] <erUSUL> Kingsy: there is no plain avi format... avi is just a container
[17:47] <g[r]eek> ActionParsnip, yeah but firstly I think I'm on Ubuntu 8.04... how do I check?
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> flo-isback: then select fix x
[17:47] <g[r]eek> ActionParsnip, because it says there "From Gutsy..."
[17:47] <r3dux> g[r]eek, uname -r
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> g[r]eek: lsb_release -c
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> g[r]eek: hardy = 8.04  intrepid = 8.10  jaunty = 9.04
[17:47] <Kingsy> erUSUL - well I have a .mpg file atm, it needs to be a .avi and I need it to be able to play on a machine without any fancy codecs.. possible ?
[17:47] <knobcottage> boo-hoo: many see what it says I know it will do the eeepc and the samsung not too sure about anything else.  I run it from and sd card eaasy peasy
[17:47] <squidly> DragonRift: in the device secion check so see if there is a "option       "SLI"   "Auto"" for each of your cards
[17:47] <flo-isback> ActionParsnip; tried that did not work.
[17:47] <dr_phd1> hello everyone, I have a problem, i installed Ubuntu and it went fine. After installation when i started Ubuntu, it started normally till the screen where the login prompt should come but it doesn't. The screen go black, and all you can do is move the mouse around. other than that nothing happens
[17:48] <boo-hoo> knobcottage, nc10? just bought my bird one of them
[17:48] <g[r]eek> oh ok
[17:48] <ActionParsnip> flo-isback: then reboot to root console and run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[17:48] <knobcottage> boo-hoo NC10 was out of teh box ok as I remember
[17:48] <marcel> dr_phd1, you have only text terminal?
[17:48] <g[r]eek> ok im on gutsy
[17:48] <g[r]eek> sorry hardy
[17:48] <g[r]eek> im on hardy
[17:49] <r3dux> ActionParsnip, What does dpkg-reconfigure really do?
[17:49] <corey> Ghoti_ : Is there a reset to default option? When I try a shortcut with the super key all shortcuts that use the super key activate
[17:49] <knobcottage> boohoo stick it on an sd and test it out wireless sound al ok on my eeepc
[17:49] <g[r]eek> So I can run virtualbox.
[17:49] <g[r]eek> great
[17:49] <dr_phd1> no, nothing, just a black screen with nothing on it, except for the cursor
[17:49] <g[r]eek> ActionParsnip, thank you for your help.
[17:49] <Ghoti_> corey: so you set a shortcut to just the superkey?
[17:49] <marcel> dr_phd1, can you do:
[17:49] <corey> Ghoti_ : no
[17:49] <joshjtl> can anyone remind me how to install using apt-get without installing recommended packages, its something like --no-install-recommends... but thats not it
[17:49] <marcel> dr_phd1, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[17:50] <dr_phd1> nopes, nothing
[17:50] <marcel> dr_phd1, you cant type commands?
[17:50] <ActionParsnip> r3dux: configures whatever you say, things like gdm/kdm xserver-xorg, apache2. just lets you run through the initial setup options
[17:50] <knobcottage> dr_phd: tried startx?
[17:50] <flo-isback> ActionParsnip: its starts like before , the screen is blank i can only move mouse
[17:51] <r3dux> ActionParsnip, whatever I say? Like "dpkg-reconfigure gedit" would re-install gedit over the top with options I can pick?
[17:51] <ActionParsnip> flo-isback: hit ctrl+alt+backspace
[17:51] <dr_phd1> no i can't give commands as there is nothing on the screen, i haven't even entered my password for logining in, there is no login screen, in fact ther is nothing
[17:51] <r3dux> Just curious - I should prolly try to find out..
[17:51] <marcel> r3dux, it will just reconfigure
[17:51] <olinuxx> hi all
[17:52] <marcel> r3dux, reconfigure runs the installation script again
[17:52] <r3dux> ahhh..
[17:52] <ActionParsnip> r3dux: you will get to choose the options for it (if it has dpkg options that need setting)
[17:52] <r3dux> Now I get it
[17:52] <dr_phd1> when i start the computer, Ubuntu goes till that Progress bar and then after that a blank screen with a cursor only
[17:52] <flo-isback> ActionParsnip: does not work nor does ctrl - alt - F1
[17:52] <marcel> r3dux, a debian package has a script inside it, which runs before or after the files are copied
[17:53] <ActionParsnip> flo-isback: drop to console: sudo apt-get --reinstall install (whatever-buntu)-desktop
[17:53] <Wayne323> Is there a way to have LILO automatically update itse;f?
[17:53] <Wayne323> itself?
[17:53] <marcel> Wayne323, why do you use lilo? and not grub
[17:53] <Ghoti_> Wayne323: sudo apt-get upgrade lilo
[17:54] <Wayne323> I have a Dell Optiplex 320....
[17:54] <Wayne323> It won't boot with GRUB no matter what...
[17:54] <marcel> Wayne323, also not with jaunty?
[17:54] <Wayne323> Nope.
[17:54] <Wayne323> I'm stuck with LILO...
[17:54] <marcel> Wayne323, strange
[17:55] <knobcottage> dr_phd: are you using a Dell?
[17:55] <Wayne323> And when the kernel updates, LILO doesn't get a message to use the latest kernel...
[17:55] <marcel> Wayne323, most packages assume you have grub
[17:55] <Wayne323> Which from time to time, stops it from booting...
[17:56] <marcel> Wayne323, what is your hard drive layout? you have also windows?
[17:56] <Wayne323> Nope....
[17:56] <marcel> Wayne323, you have one hard drive
[17:56] <Wayne323> One hard drive..
[17:56] <Wayne323> Latest Ubuntu installed...

[17:58] <cyrax> I have a question regarding the opengl headers provided with Ubuntu. Although I have Ogl 2.1 on my system I cannot seem to use glGenBuffers. Says undeclared identifier. I've read elsewhere that I need to include glext.h but I get the same error inspite of this. Can anyone help me with this?
[17:58] <marcel> mackk431, nothing wrong, can happen, just run that command
[17:59] <cyrax> anyone?
[18:00] <knobcottage> mackk431:  try here http://paste.ubuntu.com/152915/
[18:00] <flo-isback> ActionParsnip: Ok xorg gave up , with a error " xinit; permission denied (errno 13)
[18:01] <ashmew2> no sudo >?
[18:02] <marcel> cyrax, you should ask this at an opengl forum, i dont think there are many opengl developers here
[18:02] <cyrax> marcel: understood. Do you know of an opengl channel?
[18:03] <marcel> cyrax, no i dont, i'm more a java developer
[18:03] <cyrax> okay
[18:03] <dr_phd1> hi everyone, i installed Ubuntu, when i started using it for the first time, i booted normally till the point where the login screen has to come, but it didn't, instead after the "Progress Bar" completed my whole computer screen went black and there was nothing on the screen except the Mouse Cursor, i couldn't do anything except move the cursor around
[18:03] <cyrax> thanks marcel
[18:03] <r3dux> cyrax, game dev channels are good for OGL - but, they don't want to baby you. Wish I knew a good OGL channel myself.
[18:04] <petskull> cyrax: what's your question?
[18:04] <marcel> cyrax, maybe its better to use a opengl library, there are enough opensource libs for that
[18:04] <ashmew2> They were showing on the discovery channel the other day that Game development is one of the most high paid jobs..

[18:16] <mgolisch> so no symlink or script
[18:16] <lp84> -bash: ./mvdsv: No such file or directory
[18:16] <mgolisch> lp84: but ls ./mvdsv works?
[18:17] <Ghoti_> lp84: try /path/to/the/actual/location/of/mvdsv

[18:43] <unix3_> Ghoti_, nice.. thank you.. it seems ubuntu comes with a default firewall? how do I turn iptables off?
[18:44] <Ghoti_> unix3_: to completely clear your firewall and expose you to the network, if that's what you *really* want to do, you can sudo iptables -F
[18:44] <unix3_> Ghoti_, would it revert back to the original after a reboot?
[18:44] <Ghoti_> unix3_: in most cases, yes.
[18:45] <recon69> JeffRey: if you want a clean windows install just repartition you HDD and wipe everything, the windows installer should do it for you.
[18:45] <unix3_> Ghoti_, ubuntu comes with a default firewall right..?  6 lines?
[18:45] <recon69> unix3_: why not install firestarter , it has a nice stop start button
[18:45] <mik3> celthunder: that's already installed btw
[18:45] <JeffRey`> No I already have windows installed, It was a dual boot
[18:45] <kebomix> hello , Mikrotik hotspot username and password page to log on network don't appear on ubuntu as it appears on windows xp ? !

[18:45] <Ghoti_> unix3_: last I knew, ubuntu came with ufw (uncomplicated firewall) preinstalled

[18:53] <Kissaki> ^^
[18:53] <ss0> Python is easy to pick up and rather powerful, it depends on what task you want to achieve.
[18:53] <Bodsda> define 'good'

[18:53] <AleX-> -_-
[18:54] <guntbert> AleX-: please keep to the topic
[18:54] <austin> what?
[18:54] <ss0> I recently upgraded my system from an amd64 bit too a dual core 32 bit system, even after a distupgrade it seems to see my old arch. anyone know where to change that at?
[18:54] <Bodsda> !who | austin
[18:54] <AleX-> guntbert: what is offtopic?
[18:54] <lantjie> oke thacks guys
[18:55] <guntbert> AleX-: this channel is dedicated to ubuntu support - all other things should be discussed in #ubuntu-offtopic, thank you
[18:55] <AleX-> guntbert: bah...i am looking for PDB reader for ubuntu :P
[18:55] <i3luefire__> !offtopic
[18:55] <ibuclaw> ss0, to change arch from 32bit to 64bit or vice versa, you must do a clean install.
[18:56] <ibuclaw> if that is what you mean ...
[18:56] <AleX-> i am not offtopic :P
[18:56] <AleX-> am I ?
[18:56] <Skapare> AleX-: depends if looking for software is offtopic or not
[18:56]  * Skapare shrugs
[18:57] <ibuclaw> AleX-, what is a PDB reader ?
[18:57] <mik3> grrr this is frustrating

[18:58] <ibuclaw> dick, we hear you ;)
[18:58] <Pici> !register > lantjie
[18:58] <lantjie> recon69: it asks me to identifie myself
[18:58] <Skapare> AleX-: I guess I'm not one to answer your question
[18:58] <lantjie> pici: how do i do that
[18:58] <lantjie> ?

[19:02] <recon69> any help on how to back up a vfat data drive over ubuntu share? just cant get it to work!!!
[19:02] <Skapare> dooglus: probably the same one responsible automounting other kind of cards and other storage devices
[19:02] <recon69> dooglus: it should really automount

[19:03] <JPZ> Hello everyone. I'm having a hard time figuring out how to config my ubuntu 8.10 to send system wide emails using a relay smtp account. I've checked countless guides, but thus far they only explain how to setup up postfix ( for example) to act as a full server. I just want "it" to use my isp's smpt act as relay server so that emails don't get bounced.
[19:03] <Saruji> Saruji
[19:03] <Pici> Saruji: please stop.
[19:03] <Skapare> dooglus: are you plugging it in and finding it doesn't automount and trying to figure out why?
[19:03] <Saruji> sorry
[19:03] <Saruji> was just checking highlight
[19:03] <FloodBot3> Saruji: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:03] <luca> hi everyone
[19:03] <AleX-> luca: hi
[19:03] <luca> hi :)
[19:03] <Saruji> whats pastebin?
[19:04] <usser> JPZ, mail command perhaps?
[19:04] <luca> my top toolbars have disappeared from all my gnome program windows
[19:04] <usser> JPZ, or a python script
[19:04] <guntbert> !pastebin | Saruji
[19:04] <Saruji> ah ok thank you
[19:04] <dooglus> Skapare: yes.  until today it was automounting.  now it isn't.  I'm wondering how I broke it.
[19:04] <luca> local configuration mess only, other users do not have this problem
[19:04] <JPZ> usser, its so that snort for example can send emails. they currently get bounced.
[19:05] <Skapare> dooglus: does it show up in "dmesg" command output?
[19:05] <dooglus> Skapare: these are the things I disabled earlier today, thinking them unneccesary for me: bluetooth manager, evolution alarm notifier, gnome login sound, network manager, print queue applet, pulseaudio session manager, remote desktop, user folders update, and visual assistance
[19:05] <Skapare> dooglus: also, does it add a device to the contents of /proc/partitions ?
[19:05] <usser> JPZ, you have to set your exim or postfix to act as a relay server
[19:05] <Skapare> dooglus: try re-enabling user folders update
[19:06] <dooglus> Skapare: it shows up as '[25301.220307] usb 1-6.3: new full speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 37'
[19:06] <usser> JPZ, all my scripts are at work, hang on let me pull up a decent guide
[19:06] <recon69> Saruji: just create your own channel if oyu want to test irc command , try /join saruji , then you can spam away and bother no one
[19:06] <JPZ> ok so searching for "postfix relay server" on google and such should do the trick... thanks for the point in the right direction.
[19:06] <JPZ> great usser, thanks
[19:06] <Saruji> ok I will thanks
[19:06] <Skapare> dooglus: OK, so the driver sees it ... the kernel does not automount it ... some user program gets notified of new device and does so ... that may be connected to the folders update
[19:06] <dooglus> Skapare: it doesn't add anything to /proc/partitions
[19:06] <Saruji> join saruji didnt work
[19:06] <Saruji> hmm
[19:07] <paolob> Hi guys! Let me ask you before opening a bug. In my Jaunty beta gnome, it's happening that when I'm writing a doc with Oo.o, after some 100/200 characters the keyboard begins entering very strange characters, and I haven't found any way to modify this behaviour rather than closing Oo.o and reopening it. I have italian localization, italian keyboard, but I have a spanish layout too in my gnome settings. Any idea about anything similar?
[19:07] <Skapare> dooglus: try re-enabling user folders update
[19:07] <Skapare> dooglus: and reboot to be sure things got started that might not be
[19:07] <recon69> Saruji: sorry , forgot the #
[19:07] <dooglus> Skapare: I have done.  I've not rebooted or logged out and in again since, but I also didn't do either since disabling it...
[19:07] <Saruji> ah ok
[19:07] <Saruji> :)
[19:07] <Saruji> complete and utter noob here
[19:08] <Saruji> sergei
[19:08] <Saruji> saruji
[19:08] <Skapare> Saruji: I can tell ... but welcome to the Ubuntu Linux world
[19:08] <dooglus> Skapare: I think 'user folders update' is responsible for recreating a bunch of empty folders every time I log in: ~/Porn, ~/TV and such like - that I then have to delete
[19:08] <Skapare> Saruji: whatever you are doing that does that, better work on fixing it
[19:09] <Skapare> dooglus: something adds a new folder for a drive when I plug in a drive ... was just a guess
[19:09] <AleX-> saruji
[19:09] <Saruji> Alex whats up
[19:09] <dooglus> Skapare: I also took the liberty of uninstalling pulseaudio or some such.  it was taking a lot of RAM, and making audio and video be out of sync
[19:10] <Skapare> dooglus: I have no idea with all these apps and things ... I'm more of a kernel, driver, bootloader, firmware, embedded stuff programmer
[19:10] <dooglus> Skapare: but I would have thought that would be related to this problem - just trying to think what I've changed today
[19:10] <Skapare> dooglus: I doubt pulseaudio is responsible
[19:10] <dooglus> I guess the thing to do first is to try logging in as a different user and see if it works there
[19:10] <dotblank> pulse audio is awesome
[19:11] <dooglus> dotblank: what's it for?  it seems to me it eats memory and unsyncs the audio - other than that I've not noticed any loss from uninstalling it
[19:11] <Skapare> dotblank: does it solve the audio vs. video sync problems that are built into most of the A/V formats?
[19:11] <ibuclaw> dooglus, pulseaudio is aimed at lower end laptops, or laptops with low end soundcards.
[19:12] <ibuclaw> dooglus, it is a software mixer that allows > 1 application to use the soundcard at once.
[19:12] <dooglus> ibuclaw: ok, but what is the benefit of using pulseaudio over using nothing?  I find using nothing has a smaller memory footprint
[19:12] <dotblank> Pulse audio allows to me to individually control volume on per application basis and allows networked audio which i am using rigtht now and allows simultaneous connections
[19:12] <ibuclaw> for those soundcards that don't support hardware mixing
[19:12] <dooglus> ibuclaw: I just put 'aoss' in front of each app I run - that lets them share the audio
[19:12] <Skapare> dooglus: the sync problems are inherit in bad format designs for most of the audio-video formats ... players have to do weird things to keep them in sync ... some do better than others
[19:13] <Medo42> Hi. I'm currently running apt-get upgrade on my Eee Pc 901 and was a bit concerned whether it would work since there was little disk space left. During the process, df -h now showed 0 bytes left on the drive several times, but the upgrade continues running without an apparent problem. What's happening here? Could there be problems even though no error is shown?
[19:13] <dooglus> Skapare: ok, fine :)
[19:13] <jemark> pulseaudio makes skype use more than 100% cpu?
[19:13] <ibuclaw> dooglus, no ... aoss is not the same ... aoss is an ALSA wrapper for OSS applications
[19:13] <tready29201> hey when editing the debian/rules file can i just add --with-mssql anywhere in that file?
[19:13] <dotblank> I think pulse audio is what we all need to use, the problem with pulse audio right now really is that apps don't use pulse audio
[19:14] <ibuclaw> dooglus, though, if that is working, then that probably means your soundcard supports hardware mixing.
[19:14] <maverick340> few days ago when i connected my Sony Ericsson T700 via usb i could see all my pics. however today i cant see my memory card contents
[19:14] <ibuclaw> so you can disregard pulseaudio if you don't wish to use it
[19:14] <maverick340> it only shows up my phone contents
[19:14] <Skapare> dotblank: if there is competition for the audio devices and/or video devices for playback, that could explain the worsening sync
[19:14] <dotblank> actually when you use aoss it actually sends it to pulse audio, I belive pulse has the OSS plugin
[19:15] <maverick340> anyone else facing any similar problem , with digital cameras or phones ?
[19:15] <Skapare> dotblank: so yeah, it could solve it by actually using it ... but I'm also not fond of having so many different layers and interfaces for programs to use
[19:15] <ibuclaw> dotblank, if pulse is wrapped around ALSA, then yes, aoss will send sound through OSS -> ALSA -> PULSE
[19:16] <tready29201> is this ubuntu desktop only or does anyone know about server as well?
[19:16] <ibuclaw> tready29201, desktop and server :)
[19:16] <dotblank> I think pulse is the right way to go, it was just introduced a little early
[19:16] <tready29201> hey when editing the debian/rules file can i just add --with-mssql anywhere in that file?
[19:17] <ibuclaw> dotblank, for low latency, JACK does the exact same as pulse
[19:17] <ibuclaw> just a little harder to setup due to XRuns, etc etc...
[19:17] <Pici> tready29201: Packaging questions can be asked in #ubuntu-motu
[19:17] <tready29201> ty
[19:17] <Skapare> dotblank: what is pulseaudio?  a library programs link to?  a daemon they communicate with?  a driver layer module in the kernel?
[19:17] <dotblank> I just think its really cool to be able to move my sound around my house 5+ ubuntu stations all with networked pulse audio
[19:18] <henriquelm> Hello there
[19:18] <henriquelm> I'm getting an error msg when I try to start mrtg, can you guys help me?
[19:18] <dotblank> Skapare: its a layer above alsa
[19:18] <saturn__> ubuntu is great - new pc, everything works, nvidia, laserprinter :D
[19:18] <Skapare> dotblank: but a library?
[19:18] <dgt84> Ubuntu Jaunty seems to have changed the install location for python packages and many can now not find their data since it's in /usr/local... wtf? Anybody know how this is supposed to work since sys.prefix is still set to /usr?!?!?
[19:19] <Pici> dgt84 : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty/9.04 support/discussion.
[19:19] <dgt84> Pici, thanks
[19:19] <dotblank> Skapare: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Pulseaudio-diagram.svg
[19:19] <Skapare> dgt84: what?  it's installing in /usr/local ??? yuck
[19:19] <zewb_> gentoo's better
[19:19] <kjon> question: ubuntu 8.10 isn't booting on vbox. A lot of cd-reading failures and a squashfs segfaults sticks the virtual system. What might be the wrong thing here? (and yeah, the md5 sum is right)
[19:19] <dotblank> Skapare: like all the above except kernel
[19:20] <dgt84> Skapare doing a default python setup.py install on Jaunty now installs in /usr/local, yeah. I'm not sure what's going on.
[19:20] <dgt84> I'm moving to #ubuntu+1 though
[19:21] <Skapare> dotblank: OK, so it's a "media stream broker"
[19:21] <Master-Mind> Hello there (: ... how do you install a folder full with icons :) ?
[19:21] <mik3> any ideas why keyboard and mouse doesn't work on a fresh install of ubuntu on a brand new lenovo laptop? doesn't work in xfce or in single user mode, it worked fine during the install live boot
[19:21] <walen> Master-Mind, what do you mean, full o ficons??
[19:21] <dotblank> Skapare: yea. I just think its important cause linux audio is in disarray (except alsa)
[19:22] <recon69> keep getting "failed to retrive share list from server" when i tr access a share on my other ubuntu comp?
[19:22] <saturn__> ah.. disabling join/part msgs is a relieve :D
[19:22] <saturn__> hi ;D
[19:23] <Skapare> dotblank: lots of things are in disarray ... and I believe it is because too many people focus on APIs to solve things, rather than protocols ... that in turn because most programmers are bad at coding around protocols ... let's go to -offtopic if you want more info
[19:24] <Master-Mind> walen:  i mean a folder from Gnome eye candy ... first of it was a zip then i extraxted it to the desktop then it was a tar.gz and then i extracted it again, so now i got the folder "royal GBlue" on myt desktop
[19:24] <mew> !virtual
[19:24] <mew> !virtualbox
[19:24] <walen> Master-Mind, aah, you mean a theme? :P w8 a minute
[19:24] <ibuclaw> Master-Mind, you open up System->Preferences->Appearance
[19:25] <ibuclaw> Master-Mind, then you click and drag that tar.gz file into the window.
[19:25] <Master-Mind> walen:  yes exactly :D
[19:25] <Master-Mind> ibuclaw:  Hm okay ill try that :)
[19:26] <walen> Master-Mind, so, as ibuclaw said, or, from  system->preferences->appearance, select "install"
[19:27] <Master-Mind> walen:  Well its not a theme, its cool icons for my standard icons.
[19:27] <lantjie> pici: do you know the command to login to freenode
[19:27] <lantjie> ?
[19:27] <ibuclaw> Master-Mind, oh!
[19:27] <Pici> lantjie: /msg nickserv help identify
[19:27] <lantjie> thanks
[19:28] <ibuclaw> Master-Mind, open your home folder, and find a directory called ".icons"
[19:28] <Master-Mind> walen: ohh .. i got it now, you was right i just clicked install and then boom it was there :)
[19:28] <ruben231> hi
[19:28] <Master-Mind> ibuclaw:  ohh .. i got it now, you was right i just clicked install and then boom it was there :)
[19:28] <walen> Master-Mind, great! It's a miracle :P:P
[19:28] <ibuclaw> Master-Mind, coolios ;)
[19:28] <Master-Mind> walen:  haha yes :'D
[19:28] <ruben231> how do i install ubuntu desktop on a multiple PC...one time installation
[19:28] <Master-Mind> ibuclaw:  yes hehe, thanks :D
[19:28] <recon69> I give up, 2 days trying to create a share/backup a drive over ubuntu and cant lol.
[19:30] <ruben231> anyone....?
[19:30] <Medo42> I'm currently running apt-get upgrade on my Eee Pc 901 and was a bit concerned whether it would work since there was little disk space left.

Could there be problems even though no error is shown?
[19:30] <walen> ruben231, u mean, like installing once to 10 PC's?
[19:31] <ruben231> yes..
[19:31] <cristian> god
[19:31] <ruben231> walen:can i do that..?
[19:31] <Brucevdk> ruben231: yes
[19:32] <ruben231> Brucevdk: how do i set it..?
[19:32] <icc_> why's Jesse_Crane sending me spam on join?!
[19:32] <cristian> viva windows que mola, es mortal
[19:33] <ruben231> Brucevdk: and also when one PC ubuntu updates the rest can also haveq updates not individual PC updates which would take time..
[19:33] <Pici> icc_: Can you pm me what you were sent?
[19:34] <cristian> you can download the ubdates in one pc and the others pc download updates from your pc
[19:34] <Brucevdk> ruben231: it's called network install. A common keyword here is PXE. It's not something you can just do in one line, you'll have to find and follow a guide. I've never attempted it, but I guess there's two ways 1) Network install 2) Always boot from image 3) Boot from central machine.

[19:44] <guest1> hello all :)
[19:44] <guest1> I have a very Noob question for ya all
[19:45] <pkuhad> is there any way by which i can recover ubuntu8.0.4 using a that cd?
[19:45] <dooglus> Skapare: it seems that disabling startup apps and removing pulseaudio had no effect.
[19:45] <knobcottage> guest1: ask
[19:45] <dooglus> Skapare: I switched to a different USB port and now automount is working again
[19:46] <guest1> I have been modifying a live boot of windows XP for allowing install on external hardrive ... I have finished the modifications and now need to delete the unmodified files from the ISO and insert the modified files back into the ISO
[19:46] <flukxo> howdy, how do I use vnc to make the login screen available through the network?
[19:46] <djnel> I have a directory containing a bunch of directories no files, what mv command line will remove the first 4 characters from each and every directory but preserve the remaining characters?
[19:47] <Brucevdk> Mip5: so, did it work?
[19:47] <guest1> how do I get the ISO modified
[19:48] <knobcottage> guest: try reading this http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/
[19:48] <pkuhad> ubuntu is not booting and strange memtest starts performing... is there any way to fix this problem?:(
[19:49] <genii-around> pkuhad: Hit ESC when it says something like "Grub loading". Then choose a kernel to lad instead of memtest
[19:49] <Mip5> Brucevdk - I just tried it - but forgot to logout and log back in to see. brb
[19:49] <genii-around> lad->load
[19:49] <flukxo> howdy, how do I use vnc to make the login screen available through the network?
[19:50] <Pici> guest1: Are you sure thats a question we can answer on the Ubuntu support channel? It sounds more like a question for ##windows.
[19:50] <guest1> I am trying to do this modification within Ubuntu
[19:51] <guest1> I have already completed the modification to the ISO files
[19:51] <Pici> guest1: Okay, just making sure.
[19:51] <pkuhad> genii-around: when i hit escape there is no krnel over there instead there are only 2 options  1) memtest86    2) other(i.e. another operating system)
[19:51] <guest1> I just need to recompile
[19:51] <Pici> guest1: I think you need to look into genisoimage.

[19:52] <tkooda> is there a known issue with firefox 3.0.8+nobinonly-0ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS> in hardy?  -ff is crashing on me 100% of the time (w/no extensions) this week (perhaps the first time I've rebooted since the last FF upgrade?)
[19:53] <Mip5> Brucevdk - didn't work. Not sure why.
[19:53] <genii-around> pkuhad: Did you change lately the boot order of your drives?
[19:53] <Brucevdk> Mip5: what does `ps auxww | grep keyring` say?
[19:53] <knobcottage> still trying to get ubuntu to connect to my SLUG.  Windows does it with a series of clicks.  Ubuntu doesn't.  I try the connect to server dialogue and it keeps asking for a password and domain name which i duly put in but it just comes back again with teh same request.  What am I doing wrong????
[19:53] <haytham-med> hi all, how to change the bit colour in ubuntu 16 or 32 bit?
[19:54] <icc_> haytham-med, xorg.conf
[19:54] <haytham-med> is there a graphical way :)
[19:54] <haytham-med> ?
[19:54] <pkuhad> genii-around: hmm:(  i guess yes, i was just trying to boot into single user mode to see if i'll be able to change root password that way and meanwhile this thing happened :(
[19:55] <cheekee> how do I change my terminal color settings to white on black rather than black on a white background?

[19:56] <Davide> Hi, how do you permanently mount a network location on a windows partition?
[19:56] <lantjie> exit
[19:56] <Mip5> Brucevdk - it's still running - so I must not have disabled it properly
[19:56] <genii-around> pkuhad: Is the other OS listed something like a BSD version, or Windows, or something else entirely?
[19:56] <battlesquid> hellow, i'm trying to upgrade ubuntu but the mirror is down!
[19:56] <battlesquid> hellow, i'm trying to upgrade ubuntu but the mirror is down!
[19:56] <cheekee> thanks. done
[19:57] <tkooda> Davide, `man fstab`
[19:57] <genii-around> battlesquid: Wait a while then try again
[19:57] <battlesquid> genii-around: bad idea
[19:57] <battlesquid> genii-around: bad idea
[19:57] <pkuhad> genii-around: it is windows and i've installed ubuntu under windows   :(
[19:57] <genii-around> battlesquid: Also please stop posting all twice
[19:57] <tkooda> Davide, er, perhaps `man mount` is more helpful
[19:58] <genii-around> pkuhad: Ah, so Wubi
[19:58] <battlesquid> genii-around: that was random. i didn't post twice
[19:58] <battlesquid> genii-around: that was random. i didn't post twice
[19:58] <squidly> battlesquid: actually you are
[19:58] <battlesquid> squidly: what?
[19:58] <battlesquid> squidly: what?
[19:59] <squidly> problem solved
[19:59] <pkuhad> genii-around:yes
[19:59] <maverick340> #ubuntu-in
[19:59] <Davide> tkooda, thanks, I've been trying by adding a certain line to fstab, but without success.  under "man fstab" in some of th efirst lines it says the order of commands is important, I did not realize that, it says that remote filesystems must be entered in the beginning of the file I was adding it at the end.
[20:00] <icc_> Anyone successfully built grub 0.97 on ubuntu? My upper memory limit is negative and grub seg faults...
[20:00] <mlissner> just updated to jaunty - amarok 2 is REALLY bad, but otherwise no problems.
[20:00] <Pici> mlissner : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty/9.04 support/discussion.
[20:00] <Davide> maybe I read that wrong tkooda
[20:01] <genii-around> pkuhad: Ah. You need to find someone then more familiar with Wubi ... I stopped using it long ago
[20:01] <knobcottage> anyone tell me how to connect to my SLUG in Ubuntu?
[20:01] <knobcottage> that is not via http but to the discs attached to it...
[20:01] <pkuhad> genii-around: is there any way by which i can recover ubuntu using ubuntu cd, i mean i can install that kernel or recover from cd..:(
[20:02] <maverick340> i was having troubles getting my SE phone to get detected as a mass storage device. I hunted on the forums and got one solution (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6231205#post6231205).SO do i file a bug since it doesnt work on 9.04 or 8.10 (updated) ?
[20:03] <Davide> tkooda, I'm using this command in fstab.  The command works when I use it in the terminal, but it doesn't work in fstab any idea why?   mount -t cifs //none-xvlc1hi3pv/d/ /media/none/d
[20:03] <genii-around> pkuhad: Since Wubi puts the install to a file on your windows install, I would think you could choose that file during another Wubi install as the place to reinstall to
[20:03] <Ghoti_> Davide: the format of fstab entries do not match exactly the format of the mount command
[20:04] <genii-around> pkuhad: but as I just earlier said, you are best to find someone who is more knowledgeable specifically with Wubi
[20:04] <pkuhad> genii-around: is there any cah nce of data loss
[20:04] <Davide> Ghoti_, do you know how I should adjust the entry to make it work?
[20:04] <genii-around> pkuhad: There is always of course a chance of data loss
[20:04] <pkuhad> genii-around: chance of data loss and settings change
[20:05] <genii-around> pkuhad: Again, you need more a Wubi guru
[20:05] <Ghoti_> Davide: I'm not intimately familiar with cifs, but you could try:   //none-xvlc1hi3pv/d/ /media/none/d cifs defaults 0 0
[20:05] <tkooda> Davide, you won't run the actual `mount` command in fstab..  you'll simply specify it as another fstab config line (like Ghoti_ just suggested)
[20:05] <manpoole> how do i make the compiz cube smaller?
[20:05] <battlesquid_> so... maybe using x-chat will prevent me from being  banned...
[20:06] <a931bw> Hi all
[20:06] <a931bw> How to install windows xp but don't kill ubuntu/
[20:06] <pkuhad> i need wubi help as ubuntu is not booting and ihave installed ubuntu under windows?  :(
[20:06] <maverick340> a931bw,  backup the grub file
[20:07] <maverick340> a931bw,  and of course install XP on a different directory
[20:07] <``y7> after 18 months, how much do the updates cost?
[20:07] <Davide> Ghoti_, tkooda, thanks  I'll try that.  I thought it woudl work like that because I added a mount line for my second HD with the mount comamnd and it works somehow it mounts at startup
[20:07] <ienorand> a931bw: xp will inevitably overwrite mbr so you'll have to reinstall grub to mbr afterwards.
[20:07] <Davide> Ghoti_, I actually dont even know what cifs is or means, I've just been using it from a suggestion from someone in this channel
[20:08] <vfw> a931bw: MS Windows needs to be on first partition of first ordered drive in order to boot.
[20:08] <Ghoti_> cifs is the speficier for the filesystem type
[20:08] <tkooda> Davide, "cifs" is the protocol that is used to communicate over the network to the windows machine
[20:08] <tkooda> (yah, what Ghoti said)
[20:09] <Davide> Ghoti_, tkooda Ah ok thanks so whitout specifying it could not work?
[20:09] <ienorand> a931bw: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 < has instruction for doing this from livecd
[20:09] <Ghoti_> Davide: in fstab you must specify the filesystem type
[20:09] <pkuhad> i think linux-2.6.23-19 has been deleted... is there any wayby which i can install that kernel  :(
[20:09] <celthunder> pkuhad, kernel.org
[20:09] <darkpixel> mik3: what lenovo model you have?
[20:10] <Davide> Ghoti_, tkooda ok gonna try that one question does the command mount -a reload fstab? is there  acommand to reload fstab without haveing to reboot?
[20:10] <kronos84> pkuhad aree you trying to recover valuable files?
[20:10] <danaka> Is there a way to make an icon i can click that will execute a command in terminal?
[20:10] <tim167> hi all, how do i transfer a large file from a computer i can acces vwith vncviewer to my local computer ?
[20:10] <Ghoti_> Davide: mount -a will mount all filesystems set to 'auto'.. if your defaults don't include 'auto', you can use 'sudo mount /mnt/mountpoint'; in the example above, '/mnt/none'
[20:11] <celthunder> danaka yes
[20:11] <darkpixel> danaka: of course, there's checkbox that enables "run on terminal" option
[20:11] <tkooda> Davide, yes.  `mount -a` will attempt to mount any unmounted config lines in /etc/fstab, presuming the config line doesn't have the "noauto" config entry in it
[20:12] <Davide> Ghoti_, tkooda, so I don't have to add 'auto' just as long as 'noauto' isn't there?
[20:12] <celthunder> davide yes
[20:12] <danaka> darkpixel: i mean like.. i click an icon and i want it to execute a command... like mount a drive when i click this link
[20:12] <Ghoti_> Davide: correct
[20:12] <tkooda> Ghoti/Davide, I think the "auto" config entry is the default
[20:12] <pkuhad> kronos84: actually its not even booting i guess the kernel image have been deleted m just trying to install that kernel so that ubuntu works agin........... is there any way?
[20:12] <battlesquid_> dose anyone know which mirror to use and where to put that, so i can start upgrade from 7.04 to latest version?
[20:12] <darkpixel> danaka: yeah, that's ok
[20:12]  * tkooda could be wrong, but he doesn't have to specify "auto" in his
[20:12] <dax2112rush> How can I globally enable core dumps for all users? (ulimit -c reports 0 on new shells)
[20:13] <celthunder> tkooda, thats correct
[20:13] <icc_> Anyone successfully built grub 0.97 on ubuntu? My upper memory limit is negative and grub seg faults...
[20:13] <danaka> darkpixel, well how do i do it? do i have to make a shell command or something?
[20:13] <kronos84> pkuhad can you confirm that drive is spinning up?
[20:13] <pkuhad> celthunder: after downloading the kernel wat do i hav to do n i hav installed ubuntu under windows...:(
[20:14] <Davide> Ghoti_, tkooda LOVE YOU GUYS!!!  I guess all I was doing wrong was putting the filesystem in the wrong spot?
[20:14] <kronos84> pkuhad can you hear the hrd drive try to boot?
[20:14] <pkuhad> kronos84: i have installed ubuntu under windows :(
[20:14] <celthunder> pkuhad untar it and read the readme/install file it should basically say ./configure;make;make install but since ubuntu uses grub most likely you will haveto copy the kernel from the build directory btw dont foreget to check that you have your filesystem not as a mudle and whatnot in the config before compiling.
[20:15] <darkpixel> danaka: indeed :-)
[20:15] <Davide> Ghoti_, tkooda, so for mount command the filesystem goes before the locations, and for fstab it goes after? is this correct?
[20:15] <Ghoti_> Davide: it sounds like the mistake you were making was just putting the commandline mount paramaters into fstab.. easy mistake to make :)
[20:15] <Ghoti_> Davide: the mount command it a little more flexible; the fstab requires a specific order
[20:16] <cyberkid> hi
[20:16] <MidnightDevil> hi
[20:16] <Davide> Ghoti_, well I have this line in there as well mount /dev/sdb1 	/media/storage  And that one mounts that drive fine
[20:16] <kronos84> pkuhad you will need to do more reading on dual booting
[20:16] <rufin> salut mbom
[20:16] <MidnightDevil> how do i make gtk applications look good under e17?
[20:16] <pkuhad> celthunder: but ubuntu is not booting, some memtest starts and thats it :(
[20:16] <Davide> Ghoti_,  so even with the "mount" command in there it still mounts it at startup
[20:17] <celthunder> pkuhad so look at /boot/grub/menu.lst
[20:17] <Ghoti_> Davide: I honestly don't know why that works, lol
[20:17] <Davide> Ghoti_, the difference is it doesnt specify a file system
[20:17] <Davide> Ghoti_, LOL
[20:17] <lp84> having trouble with a script, can someone help me? i cant get a file to execute by navigating from the home dir to the script dir
[20:17] <Davide> Ghoti_, is there a way I could make these moutned locations automatically appear on the desktop at startup?
[20:17] <Davide> or that would do it what we just did?
[20:17] <lp84> i use q1servs/server1/startscript and it wont execute, but when i go in the actual dir and do ./startscript
[20:17] <lp84> it works fine
[20:18] <pkuhad> celthunder: yep i made a look at menu.lst ..........but what configuration do  i need to change....since no kernel image is there in /boot/{ here }
[20:18] <Davide> Ghoti_,  gonna reboot brb
[20:18] <bala> Hi
[20:18] <celthunder> pkuhad if you dont have ak ernel image compile as i said and then make an initramfs (if needed) and add the kernel to the boot menu?
[20:19] <celthunder> bala hi
[20:19] <hansoffate> Hi all, I am trying to mount an NFS share on my ubuntu system from a NFS openSUSE server.  I keep getting mount.nfs: access denied by server.  Any ideas what may be cuasing this?
[20:19] <bala> Hi Celthunder
[20:19] <pkuhad> celthunder:  ........so at least i need a compiled kernel......... isn't it ..?
[20:19] <bala> How do u do?
[20:19] <coldsilence27> does any one kno the terminal command that cleans up packages
[20:19] <celthunder> pkuhad yes
[20:19] <vfw> coldsilence27: apt-get  install -f
[20:20] <celthunder> coldsilence apt-get autoremove
[20:20] <darkpixel> hansoffate: that seems you dont have given access for the Ip of your ubuntu machine on your Suse NFS config files /etc/exports
[20:20] <dooner> hansoffate, server isn't configured to allow you access to that particular share.
[20:20] <pkuhad> celthunder: ok........ let me have a look .......
[20:20] <coldsilence27> no the one that uses configure a
[20:20] <tkooda> is anyone having trouble with hardy ff crashing shortly after startup??
[20:21] <vfw> tkooda: What is ff?
[20:21] <Ghoti_> vfw: usually, firefox
[20:21] <hansoffate> darkpixel: dooner: i have setup /share/Videos  *(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)   in my /etc/exports.   That should let in everyone right?  I even tried it with <IP_ADDRESS>/24.  I keep getting the same error
[20:21] <pkuhad> celthunder: can i get a compiled kernel from anywhere for ubuntu 8.0.4
[20:21] <vfw> toga30: Oh, firefox... well you probably have a messed up plugin or helper application.
[20:22] <i3luefire__> is there a repository of games for ubuntu? games like urban combat?
[20:22] <celthunder> pkuhad you alrady downloaded one just compile it .....
[20:22] <coldsilence27> anyone kno the clean up command that use configure -a
[20:22] <vfw> toga30: There is a way to start firefox without add-ons  but don't remember what it is right off hand.
[20:22] <guntbert> !games | i3luefire__
[20:22] <Ghoti_> coldsilence27: dpkg-configure -a ?
[20:22] <vfw> Some one else probably does.
[20:22] <coldsilence27> yea thanks
[20:23] <pkuhad> celthunder: ok........i have downloaded........how to compile it in windows...
[20:23] <Ghoti_> coldsilence27: that's not really much of a cleanup command though
[20:23] <dooner> hansoffate, what does the logs on the server say?  also are you running portmap on the client?
[20:23] <rndm> i have a weird window that keeps popping up. i want to see what process owns it, is there a tool for that? where i can click on a window and get it's process id?
[20:24] <celthunder> pkuhad compile from a linux box
[20:24] <coldsilence27> well it fixes the pakages but wats the rest of it
[20:24] <soreau> rndm: xprop
[20:24] <rndm> soreau: thankyou
[20:24] <darkpixel> hansoffate: how look's /etc/hosts.deny in Suse?
[20:24] <l2udd> I've just upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04 and now I don't have any sound.
[20:24] <celthunder> rndm ps auxf will show ut its commnd line not "click on it"
[20:24] <Ghoti_> rndm: or xwinfo :)
[20:24] <hansoffate> dooner: haven't checked the logs, /var/logs?  and the both the client and server has portmap installed
[20:24] <harlemdavvey> guys i need some help with a .rar archive
[20:25] <Peace-> greenrabbit: hi
[20:25] <harlemdavvey> i think it should have a password
[20:25] <rndm> celthunder: i don't know what the process name is, that's what i'm trying to find
[20:25] <Peace-> hahaah
[20:25] <greenrabbit> hi Peace-
[20:25] <MidnightDevil> hi
[20:25] <rndm> celthunder: the window is called "untitled window" and it has nothing in it
[20:25] <MidnightDevil> how do i make gtk windows look good under e17?
[20:25] <dooner> hansoffate, i would look in /var/logs, but I don't know where suse logs nfs stuff. ubuntu puts it in /var/log/daemon IIRC
[20:25] <pkuhad> celthunder: right now i m on fedora.... how can i compile...it in fedora......without affecting its own kernel........i have just a little idea about ./configure ____ ./make ____ ./make install  :(
[20:25] <darkpixel> also you can try <IP_ADDRESS>/<IP_ADDRESS>(rw) instead of <IP_ADDRESS>/24 (i dont see that sysntax on the how-to)
[20:26] <hansoffate> darkpixel:  my /etc/hosts.deny only has "http-rman : ALL EXCEPT LOCAL"  my /etc/hosts.allow has "ALL : <IP_ADDRESS>"  which is my client ip
[20:26] <harlemdavvey> is there any way to find the password for a pass protected .rar archive with gnome?
[20:26] <celthunder> pkuhad ./configure;make dont do make insatall and itll be in the build directory copy it to your ubuntu machine note you MAY have to set additional options after./configure depending on if the architecture of the two systems are different
[20:26] <luceat> heya! how do i upgrade to the latest nvidia restricted drivers? I need version 177.80, is it enough to just grab the latest linux-restricted-modules?

[20:27] <pkuhad> celthunder: ok let me have a try........ :)

[20:27] <Otacon22> My firefox is always crashing, wich is the best and more simple method to recompile it?

[20:27] <jimsheldon> greetings!  has anyone used totem to play an ip camera stream?
[20:27] <Davide> It WORKS! :D
[20:28] <Marfi> How do I remove a program from starting up? It's not in system > applications > sessions
[20:28] <soreau> luceat: And which version have you installed currently? or do you have nvidia drivers installed at all?
[20:28] <vfw> Marfi: is it an app or a service?
[20:28] <Marfi> vfw: service
[20:28] <vfw> Marfi: try services-admin
[20:28] <Marfi> vfw: alright, thank ya
[20:28] <hansoffate> dooner: I'm still looking for the log files
[20:28] <Ghoti_> Davide: yay! :)
[20:29] <luceat> soreau: 169.12. i need to upgrade in order to get audio over hdmi support. perhaps it's easier to upgrade to 8.10 or 9.04?
[20:29] <vfw> Marfi: I think it's Administration -> Services or someplace like that.
[20:29] <hansoffate> darkpixel: I tried changing  the /etc/exports to that and then typing exportfs -ra   and I still have access denied
[20:29] <soreau> luceat: Audio over hdmi... which card model is it?
[20:29] <vfw> Marfi: but you can run sudo services-admin  I think.
[20:30] <Pyrus> Has anyone ever had a problem installing over a Fedora install that had a few encrypted partitions? I'm trying to install *gasp* Windows over it.
[20:30] <robeert> ;)
[20:30] <luceat> soreau: 8600M i'm on a hp dv9000 sound card is some HD-intel type
[20:30] <Marfi> vfw: yea, I got it. It's still missing a few, though. Things like virtualbox, tor, etc. I don't want them starting up
[20:30] <Davide> Ghoti_, now I get an error when trying to mount my local 2nd HD You are not privileged to mount the volume 'storage'.
[20:30] <TheFunkbomb> Quick question.  I'm trying to make bash script that requires me to use a sudo command.  How do I stop the bash script so it doesn't enter my next line as the password?
[20:30] <Davide> Ghoti_,  or when trying to open the mounted location
[20:30] <Ghoti_> Davide: are you using sudo?
[20:30] <darkpixel> hansoffate: its portmap running? ps aux | grep portmap
[20:31] <Marfi> TheFunkbomb: just have it run sudo <command> and it will pause
[20:31] <Ghoti_> TheFunkbomb: when sudo asks you for your password, it reads only from stdin, not the script itself
[20:31] <Davide> Ghoti_, well it's in fstab, and I'm just double clicking the icon.  Do I have to somehow set permissions in fstab??
[20:31] <Ghoti_> TheFunkbomb: so you're cool already
[20:31] <TheFunkbomb> sweet
[20:31] <vfw> Davide: Is it not in fstab? (and designated "user"). If not, you will have to use sudo to mount it.
[20:31] <TheFunkbomb> thanks
[20:31] <Marfi> Anyone else know how to modify the programs that start at boot? things like virtualbox and tor?
[20:31] <Ghoti_> Davide: when you run mount with no parameters, does is how that the voluume is mounted?
[20:31] <vfw> Davide: Is it not in fstab? (and designated "user" rather than "owner")
[20:32] <soreau> luceat: Well, you can try a couple of things. You can try upgrading from the nvidia site though there may be other components too old to be compatible with that version of the driver. Or, you can try an intrepid live cd and optionally install 8.10 or you can wait for 9.04 to be released and then upgrade. All in all, I think since your hw fairly new, you should consider updating ubuntu
[20:32] <Davide> Ghoti_, vfw, It didn't have "user" next to it... I added it let me try now.  I'm kinda confused when it comes to using parameters
[20:32] <spaceBARbarian> how do i get gparted to let me format my SDCARD ?
[20:33] <luceat> soreau: okay, think that's what i'm gonna do then. i've got no problems using beta-stuff either, so might go for 9.04 anyway :)
[20:33] <hansoffate> darkpixel: hmmm, it seems to be only running on my ubuntu system.  But when I do rpcinfo -p on my server, it lists port 111 is running portmapper
[20:33] <Ghoti_> Davide: to add 'user', just put it with a comma just after 'defaults', so that part reads 'defaults,user'
[20:33] <soreau> luceat: Cool. Good luck
[20:33] <hansoffate> darkpixel: but it doesn't show up in ps
[20:33] <xDaReaperx> Hi

[20:33] <Marfi> Good, and yourself, xDaReaperx ?
[20:33] <luceat> soreau: thanks for all the help mate :) one more thing, anything special i should consider backing up before upgrading?
[20:33] <darkpixel> hansoffate: and if you try /etc/init.d/portmap status?
[20:33] <xDaReaperx> Im' good too thank you
[20:34] <lp84> can somoene here help me with a shell script
[20:34] <usser> lp84, just ask

[20:35] <xDaReaperx> Not sure when it will reach here... in Bahrain ... i'm gonna join the design team and help i guess
[20:35] <lp84> well actually its a question about screens, i am trying to execute a program from outside of the directory with screen, (I want to add this entry to the crontab)
[20:35] <hansoffate> darkpixel: 	http://www.mibbit.com/pb/cYApMl    check it out
[20:35] <Davide> Ghoti_, vfw, this is all I wrote, and it seems to work: /dev/sdb1 	/media/storage 	ext3 user
[20:35] <Cpudan80> lp84: with screen?
[20:35] <Ghoti_> lp84: screen /path/to/the/program
[20:35] <hansoffate> darkpixel: i pmed you, but i bet it didn't go through
[20:36] <Cpudan80> lp84: just include the full path /home/user/progs/shell.sh
[20:36] <Ghoti_> Davide:  excellent.
[20:36] <Davide> Ghoti_, again I am not very familiar with parameters, should I have some other stuff in there?
[20:36] <xDaReaperx> does all the softwares that run for Windows work with Ubuntu ?
[20:36] <amathis> hello, I am having an issue with xorg.. I just switched from a 21
[20:36] <lp84> its actually an executable
[20:36] <Ghoti_> !wine > xDaReaperx
[20:36] <paleo_> hi
[20:36] <spaceBARbarian> how do i get gparted to let me format my SDCARD ?
[20:37] <darkpixel> hansoffate: i dont see the state, i mean running / stoped
[20:37] <genii-around> xDaReaperx: The short answer is No
[20:37] <f1assistance> what is the minimum processor speed to run 9.04
[20:37] <Ghoti_> lp84: it'll still work, just specify the pull path to /usr/local/bin/myrandomtool
[20:37] <vfw> Davide: That is your fstab entry?
[20:37] <xDaReaperx> Oh thnx Ghoti .,.. well where do i get this WINE ?
[20:37] <lp84> i do screen -A -m -d -S tf1 /home/pathtoexec/executable -extraargs
[20:37] <lp84> and it doesnt give me an error
[20:37] <Davide> vfw now it is /dev/sdb1 	/media/storage 	ext3 user
[20:37] <lp84> it just doenst execute
[20:37] <Davide> vfw, would you put any other parameters?
[20:37] <lp84> the only time it works, is when im in the actual directory of the executable
[20:38] <hansoffate> darkpixel: yea, it didn't list it ... but its installed supposedly.  It was much easier setting up NFS shares w/ ubuntu to ubuntu.   lol
[20:38] <amathis> hello, I am having an issue with xorg.. I just switched from a 21" crt to a 22" widescreen LCD and I beleive the res is out of range because it is set to 1600x1200 and my monitor supports up to 1680x1050.. so all I can get is part of my desktop with no response from mouse... All I can do is go to a failsafe XTERM session. I tried dpkg-reconfigure and it didn't help. Any idea?
[20:38] <xDaReaperx> Ok i got it now thnx Ghoti :D for the support....
[20:38] <Ghoti_> lp84: try making a shell script that CDs to the location of the binary, and runs it, and have screen call the script
[20:38] <vfw> Davide: if that doesn't work try:
[20:38] <Ghoti_> xDaReaperx: np, cheers
[20:38] <programmer1> any way to put ubuntu on a flashdirve and run it off the flash drive?
[20:38] <darkpixel> hansoffate: yes, ok, so try starting the portmap in suse /etc/init.d/portmap start
[20:38] <Davide> vfw, no it works fine, just wondering if other parameters would benefit anything I dont know anything about parameters
[20:38] <idiot> Some brat in #peltkore say ubuntu suck. They start the chann topic anti-ubuntu
[20:38] <spaceBARbarian> how can i find the /dev/xxxx name of a mounted usb drive ?
[20:38] <vfw> Davide: /dev/sdb1 /media/storage  auto  noauto,user
[20:38] <Ghoti_> programmer1: boot a livecd, then go to System, Administration, Create USB Startup Disk
[20:39] <hansoffate> darkpixel: i just tried to and it failed.   Checked the system log.  Apr 17 12:35:45 reborn portmap[9541]: cannot bind udp: Address already in use
[20:39] <Davide> vfw, so settingauto for the filesystem make it recognize it automatically?
[20:39] <darkpixel> hansoffate: ah, there's the problem
[20:40] <idiot> Everyone, flood #peltkore
[20:40] <kronos84> amathis did you try setupx?
[20:40] <Ghoti_> !ot > idiot
[20:40] <vfw> Davide: Yes, if it is set to auto instead of ext3, auto detect the filesystem for you.
[20:40] <darkpixel> hansoffate: try netstat -putan, and check what the hell is running of the UDP port used by portmap
[20:40] <idiot> Yah,
[20:41] <amathis> kronos84: no
[20:41] <xDaReaperx> How am i supposed to get the xbuntu or edubuntu CD's for free  ?? the desktop edition that is
[20:41] <darkpixel> hansoffate: look at the LISTENNING stuff
[20:41] <amathis> kronos84: can I do that from this failsafe xterm or should I do something else?
[20:41] <xDaReaperx> through SHIp it
[20:41] <mike12> I just tried to update my system but midway i ran out of memory, how do i delete the uninstalled packages
[20:41] <Davide> vfw, Ghoti_ thanks very much for your help
[20:42] <Ghoti_> Davide: that's why we're here :)
[20:42] <Davide> Ghoti_,  the check is in the mail
[20:42] <Davide> :D
[20:42] <Ghoti_> Davide: \o/
[20:42] <xDaReaperx> >	How am i supposed to get the xbuntu or edubuntu CD's for free ?? the desktop edition that is	through SHIp it Do we get those CD'S with the unbuntu ?
[20:42] <TheFunkbomb> very cool.  Thansk
[20:42] <TheFunkbomb> thanks
[20:42] <Brucevdk> xDaReaperx: you've already answered your own question it seems, but I believe Ship It is currently not shipping
[20:43] <kronos84> amathis unknown
[20:43] <hansoffate> darkpixel: cool, didn't know about that command.  rpcbind is on LISTEN state for   pid = 2603
[20:43] <hansoffate> darkpixel: think I should kill it?
[20:43] <mike12> is it ok to delete everything in the folder cache
[20:43] <TheFunkbomb> so, who here is good at bash scripting?
[20:43] <xDaReaperx> They are currently not shipping ?? but why... ?? it says to me that my CD has already been sent for shipping
[20:43] <a931bw> is that real to launch cracked counter strike 1.6 in linux?
[20:43] <amathis> well, I will try.   I have a USB wireless card that I use for programs like Kismet and all that dirty stuff
[20:44] <xDaReaperx> They are currently not shipping ?? but why... ?? it says to me that my CD has already been sent for shipping ??
[20:44] <TheFunkbomb> I just made a script to take down wlan0 and put up rausb0, put it in monitor mode and change the rate to 1Mps
[20:45] <TheFunkbomb> Now, I want to make a script that undoes that and connects me back to my router on my normal wifi card
[20:45] <darkpixel> hansoffate: nope, you must look at port 111, and see what is LISTENNING in that port
[20:45] <Davide> !mythtv
[20:46] <Ghoti_> TheFunkbomb: set the network interface paramaters, then just use ifup and ifdown with the interfaces
[20:46] <TheFunkbomb> okay...
[20:46] <TheFunkbomb> thanks
[20:46] <Ghoti_> TheFunkbomb: you can set the paramaters in /etc/network/interfaces
[20:46] <pkuhad> celthunder: m back ... i think i caught the right problem after googling a bit........ .. actually i have updated my kernel and a forum post talks about the same problem .. here it is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=843800   and also after updating menu.lst file's default options are changed . . only the option of memtest86.bin (as the default ) is there ..........no other one.......kindly have a look...
[20:46] <kronos84> amathis suggest you research commands for setup as I recall the configuration is pretty friendly now, did you cdhange the resolution on the new panel to see if that changed anything?
[20:46] <TheFunkbomb> thanks.  I'll check it out
[20:46] <Ghoti_> TheFunkbomb: anytime :)
[20:46] <mib_y5wd1ehp> anyone mind helping me?  i just installed for the first time, and after login i get a blank screen with only a cursur
[20:47] <knobcottage> come on someone this can't be complicated but how on earth do  I connect to drives on my SLUG via ubuntu.  This is so not easy
[20:47] <vfw> mib_y5wd1ehp: What did you install?
[20:47] <mib_y5wd1ehp> ubuntu 8.10
[20:47] <vfw> mib_y5wd1ehp: black screen?
[20:47] <xDaReaperx> will ubuntu x32 work in my computer cuz i dunno whether my computer is x32 or x64 compatible
[20:47] <amathis> kronos84: I tried xrandr to change the resolution but with no avail if that is what you mean
[20:47] <mib_y5wd1ehp> sometimes black, sometimes peach
[20:47] <pkuhad> kronos84: actually i have updated my kernel and a forum post talks about the same problem .. here it is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=843800   and also after updating menu.lst file's default options are changed . . only the option of memtest86.bin (as the default ) is there ..........no other one.......kindly have a look... is there any way to boot into my system
[20:47] <hansoffate> darkpixel: didn't I just say that RPCBIND is LISTEN on port 111?  There is nothing listed as "Listening"  everything is either "Listen", "Close_wait", or "Established"
[20:47] <Ghoti_> xDaReaperx: 32 bit will work on 32 and 64-bit machines
[20:48] <ienorand> mib_y5wd1ehp: What happens if you press something.. like alt+F2 ?
[20:48] <kronos84> xDaReap yes to 32
[20:48] <mib_y5wd1ehp> nothing
[20:48] <soreau> xDaReaperx: I believe x86 will work on both x86 and x86_64 machines
[20:48] <xDaReaperx> oh ok thnx
[20:48] <TheFunkbomb> Ghoti_, that's too complicated for a beginner like me.  I'll just reconnect manually
[20:48] <l2udd> I have just upgraded my netbook from Ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04.....now I have no sound.
[20:48] <ienorand> mib_y5wd1ehp: ctrl+alt+F2 then?

[20:48] <soreau> l2udd: Did you make sure the audio is not muted?
[20:49] <vfw> mib_y5wd1ehp: Try dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xorg.conf
[20:49] <soreau> l2udd: Did you make sure the audio driver for your hw is loaded?

[20:49] <ienorand> mib_y5wd1ehp: hmm, boot up from restore option. and do that command
[20:49] <mib_y5wd1ehp> oh, k, one second
[20:49] <knobcottage> l2udd:  Have you double clicked the sound icon and chosen the correct device from the dropdownbox?
[20:49] <soreau> l2udd: Yes, try #ubuntu+1 for jaunty issues
[20:49] <vfw> mib_y5wd1ehp: What display adapter do you have?
[20:50] <mib_y5wd1ehp> lol, no idea. im pretty poor at pc vocab

[20:53] <gartral> hello al, i cant get sound out of flash videos in firefox
[20:53] <mike12> how do i delete packages that were not installed with the update
[20:53] <kronos84> pkuhad you will need to understand the layout of a dual boot system, if all else fails it may be easier to reinstall
[20:53] <mrwes> !clean
[20:53] <gartral> !fr | bnasys
[20:53] <mib_y5wd1ehp> looking for some one how can help a noob get his ubuntu 8.10 working.  i did a text install, after login i get a blank screen
[20:53] <amathis> ok, I don't have 'setupx' and I tried apt-get with no avail
[20:54]  * mimor is away: brb
[20:54] <Ghoti_> mib_y5wd1ehp: blank?  Utterly blank? you see nothing whatsoever on the screen?
[20:54] <gartral> amathis: apt-search setupx maybe?
[20:54] <ienorand> mib_y5wd1ehp: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[20:54] <knobcottage> l2udd: sorry this is silly but the sound is not muted.  i found this by default sometimes after an upgrade
[20:54] <Guest67119> hello, i have a quick question. how would you have another partition automatically mount when you boot up 9.04?
[20:55] <gafir> Hello, I'm writing a paper for school on the advantages of choosing Ubuntu over Windows Vista. Is there anybody interested in answering a few questions in private about their choice in therms of Operating System?
[20:55] <darkpixel> hansoffate: well, thats the portmap, so its running well.  check if  the nfsd and statd daemons are started
[20:55] <amathis> ok, it says apt-search isn't there either
[20:55] <Activity-> !fstab > Guest67119
[20:55] <kronos84> amathis go look at www.x.org
[20:55] <vfw> Guest67119: Make an entry for it in /etc/fstab file.
[20:55] <xDaReaperx> ok gafir i might be interested
[20:56] <Ghoti_> amathis: try apt-cache search :)
[20:56] <amathis> ok
[20:56] <gafir> thanks, I'll talk to you in private!
[20:56] <Ghoti_> gafir: I'd be happy to help
[20:56] <soreau> gafir: Also, maybe try #ubuntu-ot
[20:56] <gartral> amathis: you arent trying to sudo apt-search, are you?
[20:56] <xDaReaperx> ok
[20:56] <knobcottage> bye
[20:56] <genii-around> gafir: You may want to enquire along those lines in channels like #ubuntu-offtopic #kubuntu-optic #xubuntu-offtopic
[20:56] <Guest67119> Activity, thank you
[20:56] <Activity-> youre welcome
[20:56] <gafir> genii-around: I will, thanks
[20:56] <genii-around> Bah, #kubuntu-offtopic    (sp)
[20:56] <soreau> gafir: Oh yes, I meant -offtopic ;)
[20:56] <hansoffate> darkpixel:  http://www.mibbit.com/pb/ezpqUM   Looks like it is running to me.
[20:57] <kronos84> amathis did you try and select resolution at panel?
[20:57] <ienorand> mib_y5wd1ehp: Is that working for you? (sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg)
[20:57] <gartral> hello all, i cant get sound out of flash videos in firefox, yet sound works fully and fine through Konquer (which i dont use much, as it is bulky, slow, and cumbersome)
[20:58] <mib_y5wd1ehp> ok ieonrand, it pulls up a blue screen asking about using kernal framebuffer device interface
[20:58] <amathis> kronos84: at panel? I don't understand
[20:58] <ienorand> mib_y5wd1ehp: I think you normally want to go with all recommended options through the reconfiguring...
[20:58] <kronos84> amathis LCD panel config menu
[20:59] <hansoffate> darkpixel: this seems like a really odd error.   Everything seems to be configured correctly
[20:59] <l2udd> knobcottage: no the volume is turned all the way up
[20:59] <darkpixel> hansoffate: seems so. Ok, paste the output of "rpcinfo -p localhost" run on the server (suse), and the output of rpcinfo -p serverIP run on the client (ubuntu)
[20:59] <mib_y5wd1ehp> ienorand, now i'm at a dead end.  i clicked yes, then yes on the us keyboard.  now it won't let me go any further
[21:00] <mib_y5wd1ehp> ienorand, sorry one moment
[21:00] <amathis> kronos84: I don't have that option
[21:00] <mib_y5wd1ehp> ienorand, now im back at the terman
[21:00] <amathis> and apt-cache search setupx returned nothing
[21:01] <mib_y5wd1ehp> ienorand, it's just giving me a post install warning, but blank
[21:01] <kronos84> amathis can you tell me panel maker and model?
[21:01] <amathis> The thing that confuses me is my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is pretty much empty... just says stuff like "Default Setup" etc... I don't see anything to mess with
[21:01] <amathis> kronos84: acer X223W
[21:02] <genii-around> xorg.conf is deprecated and will eventually no longer be used
[21:02] <hansoffate> http://www.mibbit.com/pb/YvrUE8   here it is
[21:02] <l2udd> JOIN ubuntu-1
[21:02] <hansoffate> darkpixel: http://www.mibbit.com/pb/YvrUE8 here it is
[21:03] <kronos84> amathis brb
[21:03] <Slart> genii-around: do you know if there will be some other way of configuring the stuff that used to be in xorg.conf?
[21:03] <mib_y5wd1ehp> ienorand, just tried rebooting and i still have the same prob
[21:03] <guntbert> l2udd: you probably want /join #ubuntu+1 :-)
[21:04] <ienorand> mib_y5wd1ehp: Hmm, I'm not quite sure here...
[21:04] <gartral> hello all, i cant get sound out of flash videos in firefox, yet sound works fully and fine through Konquer (which i dont use much, as it is bulky, slow, and cumbersome) if someone can recommend a web browser that works well with OSS
[21:04] <gartral> it would be apreciated
[21:04] <ienorand> mib_y5wd1ehp: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg < that will hopefully do it all automatically
[21:05] <Slart> gartral: I think firefox uses alsa by default.. but it pipes it through a filter called padsp.. I'm not sure if there is a reverse aoss filter available.. but that's what I would look for
[21:06] <Slart> gartral: look at the file /etc/firefox-3.0/firefoxrc  .. it sets a variable called FIREFOX_DSP .. might be useful
[21:06] <gartral> Slart: i have aoss, but know very little of how to set it up, MOST media plays through ff already... web page music, moives from non flash players, this seems flash specific
[21:07] <l2udd> guntbert:  Thanks, I'm a newb!!
[21:07] <mib_y5wd1ehp> ienorand now when i do tht ait just says possible overwriting of customized configuration file, but doesn't go anywhere
[21:07] <kronos84> amathis what did x.org say about setup?
[21:07] <Slart> gartral: I haven't reinstalled ubuntu for a while so I don't really know what I did to make it work for me.. but it does.. but I use pulseaudio for all my audio stuff
[21:07] <celthunder> pkuhad im in class sorry i didnt respond sooner but i am going to work
[21:07] <guntbert> l2udd: no problem, I remember....
[21:08] <celthunder> ill be on in like 8-9 hours pm me if you are on then and ill look at it if you dont get it fixed before
[21:08] <amathis> kronos84: I am trying to read it in links now,
[21:08] <amathis> kronos84: one sec
[21:08] <v3gard> hi guys!
[21:08] <ienorand> mib_y5wd1ehp: strange, what is the exact message?
[21:08] <v3gard> i'm a hardcore slackware-user, and I haven't really used either ubuntu or debian that much
[21:09] <v3gard> what I want to do is to make a package from an application that I've compiled
[21:09] <gartral> Slart: pulse works fine... i kludged it into the aoss/alsa paths... ill check that file, thanks
[21:09] <v3gard> what's the easiest way to do that when I'm on a system of which I do not have root-access?
[21:09] <kronos84> amathis seems to me I recall that you can plug in your own resolution into xserver at command line if the fancy menu doesnt work
[21:10] <mib_y5wd1ehp> xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customiesd configuration file;backup in/etc/x11org.conf.2009417100632
[21:10] <genii-around> Slart: I imagine changes would have to made by specifying driver module arguments in modprobe.d or /etc/modules so
[21:10] <schristie> how do you change the hostname on ubuntu server?
[21:11] <ienorand> mib_y5wd1ehp: Ah, then it has overwritten it... try starting again.
[21:11] <Slart> genii-around: hmm.. well.. I suppose one will get used to that too. thanks
[21:11] <amathis> kronos84: I am having a hard time finding anything on the site in links.. is there something specific I should search for?
[21:11] <mib_y5wd1ehp> xclient right? or gnome?
[21:12] <amathis> kronos84: I tried to use xrandr but it didn't help anything

[21:16] <ienorand> mib_y5wd1ehp: the reconfigure command has replaced you "various drivers" (including video handling) configuration file with the default one... Hopefully this will enable ubuntu to boot.
[21:16] <Cutter> hi
[21:16] <pronto> hi
[21:16] <ienorand> mib_y5wd1ehp: or rather... the graphical environment to start properly...
[21:16] <kronos84> amathis try looking or searching for xserver configuration
[21:17] <mib_y5wd1ehp> ienorand, nope same peach screen
[21:17] <Cutter> is there any benefit of instaling Ubuntu64bit if I have less than 4Gb or RAM?
[21:17] <ScientistBlah> hey, not to bust in and start asking questions, but in some applications, the menu bar text doesnt show up unless you hover over it, anyone know why that happens?

[21:18] <ienorand> barf: only release cndidate so far 23 apr
[21:19] <Slart> Cutter: there's supposed to be a small performance gain.. but nothing you'll notice in general use
[21:19] <Slart> drone: if you're still using the same architecture I think it will just recognize it just fine
[21:19] <Cutter> Slart: aren't some applications less stable in 64bit?
[21:19] <barf> Waldir: ls -lAh |grep ^d
[21:19] <barf> will give you directories
[21:19] <Slart> Cutter: not these days
[21:19] <Cutter> I've been told that Adobe flash 64bit isn't too stable
[21:20] <mib_y5wd1ehp> ienorand, not trying to be pushy at all, i was wondering if you ahd any other ideas or if i should go back to googling?
[21:20] <dooner> Cutter, I run 64 bit and haven't notice any problems.
[21:20] <Slart> Cutter: with the new 64 bit flash I don't really see any problems
[21:20] <ienorand> mib_y5wd1ehp: nah... not really sure where to go here
[21:20] <Waldir> barf: can you tell me what that means please?
[21:20] <mikejet> Cutter : I can vouch for that. Don't bother with 64-bit if you want to look at webpages with flash.
[21:20] <Slart> Cutter: some proprietary stuff still isn't available.. for example I can't use some electronic id's since they only have 32bit plugins
[21:20] <trone> How do i start a service with xinit?
[21:20] <drone> Slart: cool, I have a client with a lenovo laptop and I want to go one step up on the proc to make it a bit snappier for them, but I'd rather not have to reinstall
[21:21] <mikejet> Cutter : The Bug can be reliably reproduced by going to a single html webpage with 25 embedded youtube clips.
[21:21] <sisif> Hello guys. Anyone here with some knowledge of pppoe and willing to help me? I`m using a pppoe connection in my campus, and every 10 minutes or so it keep "failing" on. What I mean to say is that after a while my internet is not working. My connection is still active, but I can`t ping any think nor open a website. Strangely, sometimes my p2p connection will keep working. The only solution is to disconnect and re-connect. And it`s VERY annoying! So .. any s
[21:21] <sisif> uggestions?
[21:21] <mib_y5wd1ehp> anyone care to help a computer illiterate, but generally smart guy, try to get my pc running?  i tried to dive right into linux, deleted my old stuff and now i have no pc.  i get a peach screen after login help!
[21:21] <Slart> drone: I don't think you'll have to reinstall for that
[21:21] <mikejet> Cutter : I think they are not close to fixing flash on 64-bit.
[21:22] <pc> trone: define "service"
[21:22] <trone> pc, proftpd
[21:22] <drone> Slart: I didn't really think so either, especially since I'm not getting anything with more cores or really that drastic in difference
[21:22] <pc> trone: with xinit?  why xinit?  or do you mean xinetd?
[21:22] <drone> Slart: thanks for the insight! :)
[21:22] <Slart> drone: you're welcome =)
[21:22] <user_> sisif: anything in /var/log/messages?
[21:23] <icc_> Anyone successfully built grub 0.97 on ubuntu? My upper memory limit is negative and grub seg faults...
[21:23] <kronos84> MIB suggest you download and burn a liveCD
[21:23] <Slart> mikejet: do you know of an url I could try? something that ought to crash the 64bit flash plugin?
[21:23] <sisif> user_: no. I looked at EVERY log that might prove useful. If you want I can pastebin it to you.
[21:23] <trone> pc, i guess so it ask me if i wanted standalond or xinit and i though for so stupid reason xitin would be quicker
[21:24] <pc> mib_y5wd1ehp: can you log into the console?  <Ctrl><Alt>F1 might give you a login prompt?
[21:24] <trone> pc, never used it before. thought it had some graphic interface
[21:24] <dooner> trone, standalone will be quicker as it will always be running
[21:24] <dooner> trone, if you run it out of inetd , then startup will be slower since it will spawn a new proc on connect.
[21:25] <pc> trone: I'm guessing you mean xinetd, not xinit.
[21:25] <mib_y5wd1ehp> pc, not once i get past the username longin
[21:25] <pc> xinit starts the X server
[21:25] <trone> i know. just trying this cd out and thought xinit had a gaphical interface i guess
[21:25] <dooner> also proftpd is an ftp server,  there really isn't a gui per sea (That I know of)
[21:25] <pc> mib_y5wd1ehp: so, peach screen, and you can't do a thing with it?  sounds like perhaps a graphics hang?
[21:25] <user_> sisif: ok, no need then. maybe contact the admins on your campus?
[21:26] <trone> how do i uninstall an app with app-get
[21:26] <trone> i will read acctualy
[21:26] <user_> trone: remove or more drastic purge
[21:26] <mib_y5wd1ehp> pc, i can move my mouse cursor if that means anything.  no idea if it's a graphics hang.  how can i check? (don't even know what a graphics hang is.)
[21:26] <sisif> user_: I`m kinda sure that is somehow linux related since on Windows machines (XP, VISTA) I don`t get this behavior. I just can`t figure out what it is
[21:27] <mib_y5wd1ehp> if anyone helps get this work you will have saved me some major nagging from the wife
[21:27] <pc> mib_y5wd1ehp: you can move the cursor, but ctrl-alt-F1 does nothing?
[21:27] <mib_y5wd1ehp> pc, correct
[21:28] <user_> sisif: #linux has a bunch of know how. maybe they can help
[21:28] <trone> user_, just remove it so i can reinstall it
[21:28] <darkpixel> dooner: instead of proftpd, pureftpd has multiple GUI's and for me, its a much powerfull and secure than proftpd (http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/pureftpweb.htm)
[21:28] <sisif> user_: thank you
[21:28] <pc> mib_y5wd1ehp: something is hung, methinks...
[21:28] <user_> trone: so you do apt-get remove package-name
[21:28] <mib_y5wd1ehp> pc, what does mean for me?  not sure what to do about something being hun
[21:29] <amathis> as a last resort, will I be able to reinstall ubuntu and have it setup the widescreen LCD monitor automatically?
[21:29] <pc> mib_y5wd1ehp: you may want to reboot, then before logging in via the GUI, ctrl-alt-F1 and log in there, then you might(?) find some info in /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old
[21:29] <trone> i feel so stupid pureftpd was what i was looking for
[21:30] <darkpixel> trone: :-)
[21:30] <dooner> darkpixel, yep I am well aware of proftpd vs pureftpd :)  I actually maintain some of the proftpd code :)
[21:30] <mib_y5wd1ehp> pc, permission was denied
[21:30] <darkpixel> dooner: good to know :-)
[21:30] <trone> this is all messed up now
[21:31] <dooner> darkpixel, albeit I run it primarily on FreeBSD. My Linux boxes use pureftpd.
[21:31] <ienorand> mib_y5wd1ehp: from the command line use "sudo nano /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old"
[21:31] <trone> i was i was paying attention
[21:32] <Arth_Ur> Hi All
[21:32] <loquitus_of_bor1> Anybody can recommend if I should remove pulse audio? It seems that my sound stops working randomly.. And now for some reason, whenever I start the machine, no sound.
[21:32] <mib_y5wd1ehp> ienorand, what should i do once i open it?
[21:32] <pc> mib_y5wd1ehp: sudo <any command> will run it as root to get past permission problems.  use with great care!  :-)
[21:32] <koolkartik> i hav upgraded my ubuntu and now after rebooting linux-2.6.24-19 or any other kernel is missisng only meme test86+ is ther...... need help to reboot that again and i hav installed using wbui
[21:32] <Arth_Ur> Does anyone know how can it happen that one user has internet access one not from the same PC?
[21:32] <trone> i see the package manager is much better than the add remove thing
[21:33] <dooglus> !tor
[21:33] <dooner> mib_y5wd1ehp, it starts up and all you get is a peach screen?  that sounds to me like X is starting, but failing to initialize the session
[21:33] <ienorand> mib_y5wd1ehp: Look for lines starting with (EE) or (WW)   errors/warnings
[21:33] <loquitus_of_bor1> Anybody can recommend if I should remove pulse audio?
[21:33] <dooglus> no, not how to use tor here - how to install it for ubunut
[21:33] <user_> Arth_Ur: what do you mean with "internet access"? dial out maybe?
[21:33] <dooglus> loquitus_of_bor1: I did.  no problems yet
[21:33] <UbuntuNewb> hello!
[21:33] <ienorand> dooner: mib_y5wd1ehp  That is probably the case.
[21:33] <kronos84> Loquitus  remove pulse audio , for futher info google linux outlaws
[21:33] <m0RrE> hey, i've got a question about the "home encryption" i just installed ubuntu on a new harddrive.. mounted my raid (on which i have my old /home ) and i was able to access all my files without entering my encryption passphrase a sigle time?
[21:34] <m0RrE> i guess it shouln't be like this?
[21:34] <Cpudan80> if the users ID, name and pass are the same you won't be prompted
[21:34] <kronos84> More did you encrpt that old system?
[21:34] <pc> mib_y5wd1ehp: I wonder what graphics driver you are using, and what graphics hardware you have.  you might be able to drop back to "vesa" driver
[21:35] <mib_y5wd1ehp> iok, well i found only ww's.  a few of them are for inel(0).  and one if by a directory
[21:35] <Cpudan80> although one would think it would check the machine name too ... hrm...
[21:35] <Arth_Ur> user_: I mean it can't ping any address, no web access etc
[21:35] <pc> mib_y5wd1ehp: no interesting messages at the end of that file?
[21:35] <pc> (and you're looking at the .old file, right?)
[21:35] <Cpudan80> Arth_Ur: so 2 users on 1 machine, 1 can access net the other one cant?
[21:35] <gartral> Slart: after digging around, i cannot find /etc/firefox-3.0/firefoxrc, there are two folders at /etc/firefox-3.0/, but no files
[21:36] <koolkartik>  i hav upgraded ubuntu and now after rebooting linux-2.6.24-19 or any other kernel is missisng only memtest86+ is there...... need help to reboot that again and i hav installed using wbui :(
[21:36] <mib_y5wd1ehp> pc, yes i am looking at that.  no there is not ineteresteing message.  just ends
[21:36] <Arth_Ur> Cpudan80: yes, exactly
[21:36] <Slart> gartral: hmm.. I wonder if it's some kind of leftover from 8.04..
[21:36] <user_> Arth_Ur: tell us a bit more about your network setup
[21:36] <dooner> mib_y5wd1ehp, i've not been paying to much attention, but when it goes to start do you get the login screen?
[21:36] <gartral> Slart: well.. im in 9.04...
[21:36] <Cpudan80> Arth_Ur: what's the output of ifconfig ethX for each user?
[21:36] <gartral> er
[21:37] <Cpudan80> Arth_Ur: where X is some number (usually 0)
[21:37] <gartral> Slart: 8.10 nvm
[21:37] <mib_y5wd1ehp> dooner, yes then i get the peach screen of death
[21:37] <mib_y5wd1ehp> (after i login
[21:37] <amathis> Will ubuntu support a widescreen LCD with nvidia drivers out of the box?
[21:37] <Cpudan80> Arth_Ur: use a pastebin to paste
[21:37] <Cpudan80> !paste | Arth_Ur
[21:37] <Slart> gartral: I'm running 8.10 atm.. but I upgraded from 8.04 .. perhaps it something left behind
[21:37] <dooner> mib_y5wd1ehp, ok  then look at ~/.xsession-errors
[21:37] <neurobuntu> is it possible to create a fake eth device? i want to create a /dev/eth0 device and make my current eth0 /dev/eth1
[21:37] <Arth_Ur> the ifconfig is the same for both users
[21:37] <pc> amathis: define "out of the box"
[21:37] <dooner> mib_y5wd1ehp, something like less ~/.xsession-errors
[21:38] <kronos84> amathis I would say yes
[21:38] <Cpudan80> Arth_Ur: ok right, so the one user must have disabled the gnome network manager or something
[21:38] <mib_y5wd1ehp> how do i get out of this file?
[21:38] <amathis> pc: basically, Xorg died when I switched from a CRt to a widescreen LCD.. I am thinking after days of pain, I will just reinstall ubuntu fresh and keep my home partition.
[21:38] <Cpudan80> Arth_Ur: to change the actual networking stuff requires root access - but users can block themselves out by killing the network manager
[21:38] <Cpudan80> or by screwing up the settings
[21:39] <koolkartik>  i hav upgraded ubuntu and now after rebooting linux-2.6.24-19 or any other kernel is missisng only mem test86+ is ther...... need help to reboot that again:(!

[21:40] <pc> what's a partition command line?
[21:40] <darkpixel> fdisk -l
[21:40] <user_> neurobuntu: heard once that ethn are just links to kernel modules.. so if you search for modules list and add an entry.. maybe.
[21:40] <Cpudan80> pc: fdisk
[21:40] <kronos84> amathis if it isnt a big pain give it a try and continue effort to configure xserver resolution to match your screen
[21:40] <UbuntuNewb> anybody?
[21:41] <pc> amathis: you might be able to just remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf and try again...it'll try a default config then
[21:41] <kronos84> UbuntuNeww sup?

[21:41] <UbuntuNewb> hey kronos!

[21:45] <ActionParsnip> koolkartik: ok, did the cd test pass on the cd, did you md5 check the iso used to create the cd
[21:46] <Sqrt[i]> how do you run a 32bit binary on Ubuntu x64?
[21:46] <kronos84> Ubun sounds like a hardware issue, did you memtest it?
[21:46] <koolkartik> ActionParsnip:yes it pass the cd test
[21:46] <Arth_Ur> Cpudan80: the network manager is not killed, it runs
[21:46] <Cpudan80> UbuntuNewb: gksudo runs nautilus (the graphical file browser thing) as root, it is ***VERY*** dangerous. Be careful
[21:46] <UbuntuNewb> no, haven't memtested it...
[21:46] <kronos84> Sqrt it should run
[21:47] <Cpudan80> Arth_Ur: did they disable the interface or something?

[21:50] <dooner> pc  yep, if the #! was messed up you get that error IIRC

[21:55] <koolkartik> ActionParsnip: wat do u mean by aptoncd ?
[21:56] <ActionParsnip> koolkartik: you use a cd to copy over a kernel, then instal using that
