00:00WDCDemonho-br: What is?
00:00WDCDemonho-br: What do you mean?
00:00Demonho-brWDC, kubuntu uses kuser
00:00WDCDemonho-br: Oh I see. It's called "Users and Groups" in Ubuntu
00:01rr73Gnea: you go afk?
00:01sonicdevoAnyone have experience with LVM? I'm having trouble setting it up
00:01Jagoounop: must be in a typo in there somewhere, says: -bash: export PATH="$PATH:/home/ut3server/ut3-dedicated/Binaries": No such file or directory
00:01tonohonosarthor: What's the command you're entering in Ubuntu to connect via SSH?
00:01Demonho-brWDC, but is it a software .. can i use it in another lnx ?
00:01rr73Who has scrollback of 20 minutes ago?
00:01Jagoounop: the directory does in fact exist, copy pasted the path and cded to it
00:01sarthortonohono, ssh sarthor@192.168.0.100 and then enter button
00:01unopJagoo, you missing an echo from the command.
00:01unopJagoo, echo 'export PATH="$PATH:/home/ut3server/ut3-dedicated/Binaries"' | sudo tee -a /etc/bash.bashrc
00:01WDCDemonho-br: Uh, no. It's a Ubuntu thing.
00:01jsnnobody else is having wireless device trouble today?
00:01Demonho-brWDC, thank you very much
00:01tonohonosarthor: And what error comes up?
00:02WDCDemonho-br: No problem
00:02sarthorno error. the terminal get hang
00:02Demonho-brWDC, sorry.. what is the command
00:02WDCjsn: I have seen SO MANY people with wireless issues.
00:02Demonho-brWDC, to run this "users and groups"
00:02WDCDemonho-br: I'm not sure of the command, but it's under system and Administration and at the bottom
00:02rr73Who has logs of 20 minutes ago?
00:02jsnWDC: got link?
00:02unopDemonho-br, users-admin perhaps
00:02Demonho-brWDC, thank u
00:02Demonho-brunop, thanks
00:02WDCDemonho-br: Anytimne
00:02WDCjsn: Link?
00:03sarthortonohono, i have mentioned in detail here http://www.linuxpakistan.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6963 in the last post
00:03adakosI need some serious help. I reinstalled ubuntu server 6 LTS, and mounted one of my hard drives, it said it needed to check the hard drive -- now im missing LOTS and LOTS of files and folders...
00:03jsnWDC: Well, if it is biting a bunch of people today, maybe there is a link explaining it all, and maybe what to do.
00:03Jagoounop: thanks, that worked, you have me quite puzzled tho, the resulting appending line from your command looked the same as the one I simply copy/pasted into the config
00:03tonohonosarthor: Ok. Try "ssh -vvv sarthorth@192.168.0.100" (Yes, 3 v's!). If a bunch shows up, upload output to pastebin or in the thread you linked.
00:03Jagooyet, you way worked
00:03jsnadakos, what was the mount command you entered?
00:04sarthortonohono, OK.
00:04WDCjsn: well, I haven't seen links, but I have seen about 4 people today, and 5 people yesterday wit' wireless issues. I didn't know how to help them, so I didn't engage
00:04adakosjsn: i used the mount command from the install menu. im not sure, let me check the fstab
00:04kiosksurabaya
00:04jsnadakos, maybe mtab, too
00:04unopJagoo, so where exactly did you get this error then?  i assumed it was at the shell?
00:05jsnI was just thinking that it might not be mounted at the same point, since you didn't say which files were missing.
00:05jsnLike, you mounted a subdevice where before you mounted the whole drive.
00:05rr73How often are the irc logs updated online?
00:05adakosjsn: mounted /dev/sda1 /media/str1 ext defaults 0 2
00:05WDCkc8cua, ki4yjl
00:05Kalapoikaunop: the command did something and in the end the terminal gave
00:05Kalapoika***Error***: some autoconf macros required to build Empathy were not found in your aclocal path, or some forbidden macros were found.  Perhaps you need to adjust your ACLOCAL_FLAGS?
00:05Demonho-brunop, users-admin =)
00:05unoprr73, depends on the channel in question
00:05adakosjsn: i had 3 folders: movies, saved, tv
00:05Jagoounop: I had that error on the shell upon relogon
00:05jsnadakos, and now?
00:06rr73unop~ this one
00:06godzirraI just went through the cups setup, and I have a printer that I can print a test page to from the CUPS internal webpage, but when I try and print from firefox, there are no printers listed.
00:06alex101Hi, i need some help please, i went out today and bought a cheap sigma camera and i downloaded cheese and camorama via termina and installed the webcam software but it still wont work.. can anyone help please?! i'll be very appreciative.
00:06adakosjsn: i have tv and saved -- and in the tv folder, i have 1/2 the folders i had before

00:07rr73unop~ great so i need to wait that long for the answer that was given to me?

=== icasdasfgfasf is now known as asdasdasdasdadas
00:08Jagoounop: nevermind, copy/pasting your exact suggestion did work, I am just puzzled why copypasting it into bash.bashrc didnt
00:08jsnadakos, not sure it will help. I really don't think mounting /dev/sda instead of /dev/sda1 would help, though, unless you have a non-standard volume manager
00:08Jagoounop: and I mean copypasting the export command with path
00:08Kalapoikaunop: I don't know what is a pastebin

00:09adakosjsn:  i dont see how that would help, but ill try it (since there was one partition, not multiple)
00:09rr73unop~ can you please search your scroll back for 25 minutes ago?
00:09unopJagoo, you could have had quotes around the text you pasted - a side effect of some irc clients .. or just some general syntax error
00:09jsnalex101, have you googled "your sigma camera with model number" + "linux" ?
00:09sharperguyRight ok why does shit+backspace restart X/GNOME (not sure which) and more importantly how do I turn it off?
00:09tonohonosarthor: Alright, one moment
00:09jsnadakos, I was just thinking some volume manager might put stuff in the same folder on different partitions?
00:09alex101Nope but if i do could you help?
00:09sarthortonohono, if i connect lan cable to my ethernet, then i can access via ssh . .. hope it  will clear the problem for you.

00:11tonohonosarthor: Alright. And does putty connect properly whether it is wired or wireless?
00:11kevinOsharperguy, if x freezes, then all you have to do is ctrl alt backspace so you dont have to hard reset your computer

00:11sarthortonohono, yes. putty is ok on lan and wlan both
00:11adakosjsn: all my volumes are mounted
00:11jsnadakos, well, then umount it and fsck.
00:11alex101When i search the sigma cam n model number in google i dont find much of it that can help me.
00:11jsnalex101, AND "linux"?
00:11alex101Yeah.
00:12alex101Could you look aswell?
00:12klndz03unop, I agree.
00:12sharperguykevin083, That doesn't answer my question though. Shit+backspace seems to restart X/GNOME, forgetting about ctrl+alt+backspace
00:12alex101Cuz i honestly cant find it ;/
00:12alex101jsn: and tbh, i dont want it to of been a waste of money.
00:12jsnalex101, well, try it with a different but similar model number
00:12Johnny_5well doesn't seem 2 b workin' either...
00:12adakosjsn: i fscked it: clean 752/ 449/65888 files
00:12Johnny_5to
00:12jsnalex101, you don't want to waste money? Geesh. gedt with the capitalist system!
00:12kevinOsharperguy, is it set as a keyobard shortcut? or is your ctrl key stuck?
00:12Johnny_5doesn't seem to be workin'
00:12klndz03unop, All because the power went out when it was updating...
00:12jsnadakos, and your remount and looking showed???
00:13sharperguykevin083, my ctrl key isn't stuck
00:13unopKalapoika, try this first.  sudo apt-get build-dep empathy

00:13adakosjsn: i had nonstandard characters in some of the filenamed.
00:14adakosjsn: would that have done it ?
00:14tonohonosarthor: I hope it's not too much trouble, but could you also pastebin the ssh -vvv when you connect via wired? It may help to compare the output for wired/wireless.
00:14sharperguykevin083, And I have no idea if its set as a shortcut - it isn't in gnome anyway
00:14jsnadakos, did you mount it as the right type of fs?
00:14gleyveCan I customize my bootscreen?
00:14sharperguykevin083, ah I think its got something to do with compiz-fusion
00:14kevinOsharperguy, yeah, its not a keyboard shortcut problem

01:01brendan_When i export a directory to a client, and that directory has another file system mounted in one of its subdirectories, clients freeze while trying to access the export
01:01rickasdfhow do i register?
01:01brendan_exports without filesystems mounted in one of there subdirectories work fine
01:01brendan_also,  this worked fine in feisty
01:01SebNaitsabesStudentDriver: what do you mean exactly?
01:02StudentDriversebnaitsabes: I've noticed that graphics viewed when I'm running XP look significantly clearer than when I use ubuntu. I'm using the same version of firefox on both OS'es

01:03carlosWhich one is that?
01:03user881no joy :(

01:05sarthor_Maczimus, everything is fine, but i cant ssh to any other computer from my terminal, and can ssh from putty.
01:05SebNaitsabescarlos: your language is?
01:05Maczimusi got mine to work by hooking in wired, and then opening synaptic package manager, then do a search for fwcutter and select and install the package that has the ubuntu logo it then asked me if i wanted to download the firmware and then it works ndiswrapper not needed
01:05SebNaitsabescarlos: you install kubuntu which is KDE3
01:05purplebackbastid_raZor: i installed gnome do and it said that when i press the windows key (superkey)+space it should activate it.
01:05purplebacknothing
01:05sarthor_tonohono, is also trying to figure out the problem.
01:06Maczimusok
01:06SebNaitsabescarlos: if you want KDE4 as well you can install that as well

01:08tonohonosarthor_: When following the guide at step 2, did you download the sp34152.exe file, or another one?
01:08sarthor_another one. coz the file is not there.
01:08sarthor_tonohono, ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/softpaq/sp34001-34500/
01:09gailehi people..
01:09christopher_kelly, you can try the dd command
01:09sarthor_tonohono, i downloaded ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/softpaq/sp34001-34500/sp34152.exe

01:09HiZaMguys i need help with wubi
01:10HiZaMguys
01:10tonohonosarthor_: Ah, ok. Because your card is revision (rev01) and not (rev02), you need to download wget ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/softpaq/sp33001-33500/sp33008.exe instead.
01:10StudentDrivercertain graphics on firefox look blotchy when i'm using ubuntu as opposed to windows xp, does anyone know of any possible reasons for this?
01:10Sladegaile: to what extent?
01:11sarthor_tonohono, shoult i start from step 2?? how to remove the older one??
01:11dumbdumHow do I repair "Grub" please
01:11HiZaMI can't connect through wireless
01:11gaileSlade: i wanna see all their activities...
01:11sarthor_tonohono, and what will be steps again. and what change i will need to make.
01:11tonohonosarthor_: Follow the guide once more  (I hope!) but replace the wget download link in the guide with the one I provided. You might encounter errors running the guide a second time, but ignore them, as you're only replacing existing settings with the same one.
01:11newperswhere do i go for bleeding edge packages?
01:11bastid_raZorsarthor_; why are getting an exe file for ubuntu?
01:11tonohonosarthor_: The *only* change should be replacing the sp34125.exe download line with the one I linked :)
01:12HiZaMcould anyone help me?
01:12sarthor_bastid_raZor, Coz i need solution.\\
01:12sarthor_;)
01:12purplebackso how can i set up a superkey?

01:12sarthor_tonohono, Ok.
01:12HiZaMguys help please

01:21x3n0 I'm having a few issues wrestling with my alsa configuration atm... :(
01:22Maczimusmralexandro: right click on the workspace switcher and select number you want
01:22Chaotic_DescentI'm trying to use something called esniper for sniper bidding on eBay and every time I run the command I get "segmentation fault" and it doesn't seem to work. I have no idea what that might imply.
01:22Penopticonsniper bidding is forbidden
01:23hololightchaotic_decent: that is a problem with the program itself
01:23sarthortonohono, still the same. i restarted the pc. after restarting i can access the net via wlan, but the ssh problem is there. and i think i will also not be able to use kismet.
01:23Chaotic_DescentI'm pretty sure I'm running the right command line and everything. it wants me to point it to files.
01:23Chaotic_Descentsniper bidding is not forbidden.
01:23Teisei_mralexandro: Right click on the Workspace Switcher applet and select "Preferences"
01:23mralexandrothanks, but i already did that, when i had enabled compiz cube effect
01:23mralexandroit did not work
01:23mralexandrohmm
01:23Teisei_You should see "Number of workspaces" there
01:23mralexandroi will check it out
01:23Teisei_I know what you mean now
01:24Teisei_Hold on
01:24mralexandrook
01:24player1;poasjg';jga
01:24hololightCD: a seg fault is a problem with that program in particular; I recommend contacting the developers.
01:24Chaotic_Descentwhat's strange is I can't find any esniper file on my HD, despite being able to run it from the command prompt. so I don't know where it's even installed.
01:24gaileSlade: thanks i'll check that out, but is there any packages that can monitor all activities?
01:25Chaotic_Descenthololight: ok, thanks. :( awww. darnit. I really wanted to bid AND go to sleep.
01:25Daisuke_LaptopChaotic_Descent: try: which esniper
01:25Sladegaile: not really.
01:26BobPenguinHello guys. When I turn off my computer I get a couple of system warnings with red letters, but I can't read them since the scroll is so fast. At what part of the system log application should I look for the warnings?
01:26Chaotic_Descentdaisuke_Laptop: thanks.
01:26Teisei_Do you have CompizConfig Settings Manager ? From there, select "General Options". Click "Desktop Size" tab and you can see "Horizontal Virtual Size" there ... set is bigger and see what happens
01:26gaileSlade: ok thanks though...

01:27baba_b00ierunning ubuntu 8.04 and would like to manually edit the gnome desktop file.. just forgot the file and program to do it with

01:27baba_b00iei want to put drive and trash icons back on the desktop
01:28Ted_anyone know how to make a looping bash script
01:28mralexandrook i wil check it out now, but changing back to cube plugin requires reboot, will report what happens
01:29Teisei_Cube Plugin does not need reboot :/
01:29Teisei_Too late -.-;
01:29gaileSlade: Ijust wanna know if some of my users are hacking others account...
01:30bastid_raZorbaba_b00ie; gconf-editor
01:31SladeWell then you need to employ certain security policies/packages
01:31Sladegaile: figure out how open your system is, and then start locking it down.
01:32Sladegaile: are you working for some kind of web/shell hosting company?
01:32BobPenguinHello. I get this in my logs: "GLib-CRITICAL: g_hash_table_lookup_extended: assertion `hash_table != NULL' failed" Could some one give me a hint of what does that mean?
01:32SladeBobPenguin: that may be a question better suited for Google.com
01:32crdlbBobPenguin: it means that the app has a bug
01:32gaileSlade: i have to planned.. im doing these for trial only.. i need to know my wya around first
01:33BobPenguinthanks Slade and crdlb
01:33crdlbSlade: don't do that, please
01:33Sladecrdlb: ?
01:33purplebackhow do i get more than 2 work spaces? :3
01:33BobPenguinIt's ok, I searched at google first...
01:33baba_b00iebastid_raZor,  ty i figured it out
01:33Sladegaile: well, are you giving users access to shell accounts?
01:34gaileSlade: yes sir...
01:34linxehgaile: "oops"
01:34Teisei_purpleback: In Compiz or in Metacity ?
01:34TubbyCat12is there a photo editor similar to ms paint?
01:34bastid_raZorbaba_b00ie; cool, good luck
01:34crdlbBobPenguin: can you tell which app is causing it?
01:34bastid_raZorTubbyCat12; gimp
01:34BobPenguinpurpleblack: right clik en the any space, go to preferences, change it to more that 3
01:34gailelinxeh: hi
01:34BobPenguinlet me see crdlb
01:34mralexandroTeisei_ it worked. i got 4 walls just by adjusting horizonal size to 4
01:34mralexandrobut whatever i did with the vertical it made no change
01:34Teisei_mralexandro: Good to hear :)
01:35linxehgaile: giving users that you dont personally know and trust shell accounts is a dangerous business, especially so if you arent experienced enough to correctly lock your machine down
01:35Sladegaile: ok. well look into chroot jails and stuff like that. Also, if you really wanna be strict, start changing non-common commands' groups into something else, and only give trusted users access to those groups.
01:35Teisei_Yes
01:35mralexandrois it suposed to add workspaces to top and bottom of the cube
01:36Sladegaile: and there are utilities like tripwire, etc out there that can help you  lock your stuff down.
01:36Sladeyo bobertdos
01:36bobertdosHey, Slade!
01:36Teisei_I don't really know
01:36gailelinxeh and Slade: im going it as trial
01:36zboy417hey everyone, on my Toshiba A135-S4527 how do i make the volume wheel change the volume less?
01:36hololighttubbycat12: actually The GIMP is closer to photoshop than to ms paint
01:36kindofabuzzi set my default to thunar but some folders still open up with nautilus.  any ideas?
01:36Teisei_Maybe they show up if you are using Expo plugin
01:36Sladegaile: understandable, but you don't want your system to become compromised... trial or not.
01:36crdlbmralexandro: no, the top and bottom cannot be used as workspaces
01:36BobPenguincrdbl: I do not know really how to read logs. Is "gdm[5672]" an application? The whole line reads: "Aug 19 04:02:21 Maggi gdm[5672]: GLib-CRITICAL: g_hash_table_lookup_extended: assertion `hash_table != NULL' failed "
01:36crdlbmralexandro: vertical is meant for the Wall plugin only
01:36hololighttubbycat12: try searching 'add/remove programs' or synaptic for "paint"
01:37mralexandrook i see, thanks:)
01:37SladeBobPenguin: gdm = Gnome Display Manager
01:37Teisei_crdlb: I bet it works with Expo too ?
01:37hololightbobpenguin gdm handles login and related functions
01:37crdlbTeisei_: yes, but that's not really userfriendly :)
01:37SladeBobPenguin: that's the thing that gives you the graphical login window for gnome...when your computer start.
01:37Teisei_That's true ^^;
01:38Teisei_But Vista has only one desktop, and it isn't userfriendly
01:38gaileSlade: got that.. :) thanks guys.. but please do let me know any packages that can log all users activity..
01:38BobPenguinthanks Slade and Hololight. Should I care about the bug? Does it represent a danger of some sort?
01:38SladeBobPenguin: are you able to login ok
01:38BobPenguinyeah slade
01:38Sladegaile: all logging stuff is done in /var/log
01:38Sladecommon messages are in /var/log/messages
01:39Sladedaemon (process) logs are in /var/log/daemon.log
01:39zboy417On my Toshiba A135-S4527 when i use the volume wheel it changes the volume really fast...is there a way to slow this down?
01:39hololightBobPenguin: it could, it could not (i am think security); but if everything works....
01:39mralexandroMy first time using ubuntu properly. just want to say. great service and a great OS impression so far. thanks for the help and i guess i will be back ehre alot:)
01:39gaileSlade and linxeh: guys you know website toturials for web/shell hosting? appreciate it guys..
01:39simpsCan anyone suggest a nice VM App to run on Ubuntu?
01:39hololightsimps: virtualBox is my fav
01:40Sladegaile: just do a standard search. Though if i were you, I'd go to amazon, barnes and nobles, etc... and look for linux security books.
01:40greg_universe_i use vbox too
01:40linxehgaile: google, but I'd advise you take a course in unix security. this is a nightmare. there is a reason few web hosts give shell access
01:40BobPenguinThanks Hololight. I also have a warning on the application "gdmgreeter[5998]". Guess it is related to login as well. Everything seems to work right. Should I worry about that one?
01:40simpshololight, greg_universe_, virtualbox-ose under synaptic package manager. install that?
01:41gaileSlade: never thought about that.. ok i'll well do that..
01:41Sladegaile: it's the best reference you'll have
01:41greg_universe_actually i went to teh site and installed teh deb package
01:41jhon007hi
01:41gailelinxeh: yah im googling it now, i will take your advise guys.. appreciate it..
01:42gaileSlade and linxeh: thank you guys...
01:42mcwhaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
01:42Dr_willisgreg_universe_,  that may or may not of installed the proper 'modules' the kernel needs for virtualbox.
01:42BobPenguinThanks a lot, Slade, Hololight, crdbl for your kind help! UBUNTU FOREVER!
01:42linxehwell, at least until the next big thing comes along :)
01:43z1Gnea: my programs still freeze up but the usb problem seems to be fixed
01:43Sladegaile: no problem. Even though you're using Ubuntu, you can check out other distro's security books too. You never know what you might learn
01:43SladeBobPenguin: You're welcome
01:43linxehgaile: I would look at debian security stuff too - more likely to find hardening stuff there imo
=== z1 is now known as zz
01:43mcwhow do you download and install programs from the internet and what form of zipped file is used for ubuntu
01:44mcwtar ect....
01:44gailelinxeh and Slade: im writing it down now.. im gonna try that...
01:44linxehmcw: the main way is from the repositories that ubuntu uses by default. packages are in .deb format
01:44Slademcw: apt-get will get you packages if you know their names.   tar, gzip, bzip2, zip, and rar
01:44linxehmcw: have a look at the synaptic manager, or the command line apt-get / apt-search tools
01:44SilverWolfHi, is there a way i can restore the default apache2 configurations files?, when i delete the /etc/apache2 dir and removes/install apache2 package, the configuration is not installed again
01:44hololightmcw: .deb for pre compiled packages, .tar.gz usually for source
01:44frostbyt3RequinB4: can you finish helping me, I'm at the part where it wants me to add bcm43xx to the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist file
* gaile ok guys gtg.. i'll be back if i have some questions that might pop up :) thanks to you both..
01:44Slademcw: try the Synaptic Package Manager (System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager)
01:44zzin 8.04 ubuntu my programs seem to not respond and go grey and are really slow and won't start some of them
01:45linxehhololight: or .deb for source :)
01:45RequinB4frostbyt3: what is the problem
01:45mcwwhat do you do with them (how do you open them after you have down loaded them)
* Slade is not a fan of pre-compiled packages.
01:45zzI can't even login after I kill gdm/xserver and no sound whatsover
01:45joecurleehi all, using ubuntu 8.04... can't get a static wireless connection to my linksys router
01:45joecurleeany suggestions?
01:45fougi'm having trouble with ping and traceroute. Ping gives me 100% packet loss, and traceroute doesn't do anything. I've installed the traceroute package
01:45linxehmcw: the apt tools install them for you and manage the packages.
01:46Slademcw: well, using the graphical way, right click on the app, go to the archive manager and use that
01:46mcwsynaptic package manager
01:46frostbyt3when im adding a line do i have to put the # sign?
01:46zzxvzf path
01:46frostbyt3in gedit
01:46TJ-LinuxI have a .flp floppy drive image and need to get a file from it, but I have no floppy drive to create a floppy on -- how do I mount this as a drive?
01:46Slademcw: or, command line ...   tar zxvf file.tar.gz   or   tar jxvf file.tar.bz(2),  or unrar/unzip file.rar or file.zip
01:46joecurleei'm using system > administration > network to set a static ip address... can't ping google or anything else
01:46mcwI already know how to use that but what if a program is zipped tar. ect.....
01:46EsqulaxA bit of donut has gotten jammed between the keys on my keyboard. do i leave it or try to poke it out with a pencil?
01:47zzEsqulax: buy a new keyboard
01:47jokerhow come you can not install a rpm on a Debian sys
01:47linxehmcw: if its not on synaptic, then you normally will be building it from source code - ie a .tar.gz
01:47zzrpm is fedora
01:47quioHi Everybody.  Anyone kn ow a good app that can play a section of an mp3 song on repeat?
01:47linxehjoker: you can
01:47joecurleeEsqulax: lick it out and put the pics on the internet
01:47wasabiYou can with caveats.
01:47mcwwhat do you open it with and what do you unzip it with
01:47s3ajoker: install a package called alien
01:47hololightjoker: you can in some cases.... you need a program called alien
01:47s3ajoker: u can use that to convert a .rpm to a .deb
01:47sajidI am having a very odd problem: my computer seems to think the "L" key is always pressed, but only in certain contexts. I have <Super>+L mapped to Lock Screen, so If I press <Super> it locks the screen, but it doesn't incessently type "L" in a text box
01:47jokerI tryed rpm -i will not
01:47Sladejoker: because rpm is really built for redhat linux and its sub-distros
01:47sajidanyone have idea?
01:47linxehjoker: but normally you dont want to. RPM is for redhat. yuck. .deb is for debian/ubuntu - mmmmmm :
01:47mcwI don't know how to compile source code yet
01:48linxehjoker: good. dont install rpms on ubuntu. ubuntu is ubuntu, not fedora
01:48electea.com
01:48Esqulaxsource code? gcc
01:48Slademcw: What are you trying to install?
01:48mcwafraid to screw something up
01:48jokerI tryed the Tar file but it will not install
01:48hololightjoker: alien (tries) to turn a rpm into a deb
01:48linxehjoker: what are you trying to install... ?
01:48jokerEver tryed to install affix
01:48EsqulaxScrew it up.. s'all part of learning :)
01:48Sladejoker: you need to extract the tar file.    tar zxvf file.tar.gz
01:48quio Hi Everybody.  Anyone know a good app that can play a section of an mp3 song on repeat?
01:48zzon my 8.04 ubuntu my programs run slow and don't start and after i kill xserver (ctrl\alt\backspace) I login but i get my background screen for login manager
01:48jokerI did that part
01:48linxehEsqulax: for some people - they reckon 30% of people can't learn from mistakes though due to low levels of dopamine :o
01:48mcwnothing it's just the only thing I can't figure out in ubuntu
01:48EsqulaxYep. an ipod
01:49linxehjoker: what are you trying to install ?
01:49mcwthat and how wine works
01:49greg_universe_lol
01:49jokerAffix kernel
01:49Esqulax60% of stats are made up ;)
01:49HiZaMwasn't it 80%
01:49bobertdosquio: You could accomplish that with Audacity.
01:49linxehEsqulax: if you are going to quote something, quote it right
01:49hololightlol
01:49Slademcw: well, again. in terminal   type tar zxvf /path/to/file  (ie tar zxvf /home/mcw/myfile.tar.gz)
01:49jokerAnd I come up with major err
01:49Sladethen, cd /home/mcw/myfile
01:49Sladethen, ./configure && make && make install
01:49EsqulaxHey.. it was quoted from me. They got it wrong
01:49mcwwhat does that do?
01:49jokerbrb
01:49mcwopen it
01:50Slademcw: extracts, configures, and installs
01:50EsqulaxWow. IanIan. i know an Ian Ian
01:50mcwso you have to remember that command
01:50Slademcw: give it a week or two..   it'll become second nature :)
01:50linxehmcw: that works if the source was designed to be compiled that way. usually there is an INSTALL File in the zip, or instructions on the website
01:51zzSlade it depends on the program as well, some don't need make install and isnt it sude make install?
01:51mcwthank you you are nicer than some of these people on here
01:51zzsde -> sudo
01:51linxehzz: depends where the install target deploys to
01:51linxehgenerally NEVER run sudo make anything without reading the Makefile to see what it does
01:51Sladezz: yeah. i always forget the sudo. I come from a background where i always have root to install :)
01:51dreamzr4uhi, this is raj and i have a query regarding ubuntu
=== greg_universe_ is now known as greg_universe
01:51linxehdreamzr4u: ask away :)
01:52zzlinxeh: my programs run slow and after killing my xserver and logging in i get the background for the login manager
01:52dreamzr4ugrub loading  then error 15
01:52joecurleeso yea... ubuntu 8.04, static wireless connection to linksys won't work
01:52joecurleecan't find info on google
01:52mcwI just want to be able to do anything I can do in windows on linux and it seems like ubuntu is the best distro because I have tried out allot of the other distros
01:53mcwinstalled and tried
01:53Slademcw: ubuntu is nice.
01:53joecurleedhcp wireless works fine
01:53mcwit seems to have the most support
01:53Slademcw: i'd start by searching the web for a beginners course in linux. It'll give you the basics.
01:53Esqulaxmcw: windows will always have a certain amount of muscle, but you can do more with linux
01:53linxehjoecurlee: I had that problem I think - I think it is to do with the linksys wanting you to use uPNP to register the address, but not sure, DHCP seems to work fine
01:53zzlinxeh: they don't even run, I get a white blank box if i clicked for a terminal, the panals won't respond(pager,trash)
01:54Esqulaxubuntu is cool cos it pretty much works straight of on my wind :)
01:54mcwI have a dual boot dual hd system vista and linux ubuntu studio because I am a musician
01:54joecurleelinxeh thanks
01:54linxehjoecurlee: that might be a red herring though :o
01:54joecurleelinxeh looks like that might be the issue looking in to it now
01:54mcwand an artist
01:54Esqulaxmcw: i found garage band on Leopard (Mac OSX) was awesome for that
01:55linxehzz: no idea sorry, I'd check from a console what programs are still running when you log out, maybe either reboot or restart gdm
01:55zzgdm restart doesnt fix it
01:55mcwbut computers are new to me all that I know is from what people have taught me and from what I have read
01:55linxehzz: or stop gdm, kill all lingering X / gnome related processes, and try again
01:55zzim using finch right now in a virtual tty linxeh
01:55linxehmcw: I'm a musician too
01:56SebNaitsabesmcw: so you hardly have any Windows experience even?
01:56linxehzz: I'm not an ubuntu expert, I just use it at home - by day I'm using Redhat enterprise and other unix systems, and just sit here to help where I can, sorry :o
01:56Esqulaxmcw: fair enough. Wehn you get a chance niip into a nearby Apple store and ask to be shown garage band.. once your over the 1st hurdle, its really great
01:56mcwcan I use garage band in linux or windows or do I have to install mac os on an amd or an intell
01:56mcw?
01:56linxehmcw: garageband is osx only, and you can only run it on macs (legally)
01:56zzlinxeh: but it is constant, i think Gnea helped my usb problems though, might as well edit my grub
01:56linxehthere is ardour for linux though
01:57mcwno I have about 4 years windows experience and 1 year linux
01:57zz:-P
01:57evild_The trash icon used to be in the bottom right hand corner of my screen in Ubuntu. I accidentally removed it and dont know how to get it back there. Can anyone help?
01:57xinnixyou could probaly run it inside a VM OSX
01:57xinnixas well
01:57linxehxinnix: not legally
01:57zzevild_: right click and add aplet as trash i beleif
01:57EsqulaxIf your systems up to it
01:57mcwbut I just took an a+ course wich helped a little bit
01:57hololightmcw: as a general rule, mac apps will only work on a mac, and it takes serious skill and a lot of time to get mac osx to run on a non-mac (I scragged a hd trying)
01:58SebNaitsabesmcw: you can run Windows inside a virtual machine inside Linux if there is a good reason. say, because of some program that won't work in Wine
01:58KRFlinxeh, thats not legal?
01:58solexious[Q] Not all programs use the usb device set in system->prefs-> sound.   Any ideas?
01:58evild_right click where?
01:58dreamzr4uhey guys i am getting an "grub loading plaease wait error 15 "
01:58linxehKRF: well, not if you beleive in the legality of EULAs
01:58KRFlinxeh, windows either?
01:58xinnixlegal...lol
01:58xinnix*legall
01:58linxehKRF: running windows in a VM is fine
01:58crimsunsolexious: because that setting only affects GStreamer-based applications.  It doesn't actually set the default audio device for non-GSt-based apps.
01:58KRFokay...
01:59mcwI don't really understand vm ware yet I understand how it works in theory but have never used it yet is it free?
01:59hololightxinnix: what is this "legal" you speak of?
01:59zzevild_: down where trash used to be
01:59KRFmcw, yes
01:59KRF!virtualbox
01:59ubottuvirtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox
01:59xinnixnothing i just understand
01:59mcwcool
01:59KRFmcw ^
01:59xinnix=)
01:59linxehKRF: apple dont want you to run OSX in a VM or on non-Apple hardware. which is fair enough - they dont want the support headaches.
01:59Esqulaxlegal.. its a word that closed source corporate fatcats use
01:59zz!emu
01:59ubottuSorry, I don't know anything about emu
01:59KRFlinxeh, hah. true

01:59ubottuqemu is an emulator you can use to run another operating system - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo

01:59dreamzr4uHi, I am getting an error message "error 15"
01:59SebNaitsabes!virtualbox
01:59xinnixiam not really good with linux
01:59crimsunsolexious: to do that, you need to use an asoundrc and restart all audio apps, e.g., see the asoundconf utility that Ubuntu includes.
01:59xinnixstill trying to get use the command line

02:00NikkolaiYou will be fine.
02:00zzevild_: i would help you but my gnome seems to be locking up lol
02:00xinnixbeen on windows too long and decided i would swtich it, VMs help alot
02:00zzsomething in taking over my computer
02:00solexiouscrimsun, just hit asoundconf in shell?
02:00linxehEsqulax: its a word that civilised society uses to denote something that is unacceptable to the population as a whole :P
02:00evild_lol :\
02:00KRFmcw, try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox - its easy to setup imo
02:00evild_i guess its not all that big of a deal i just go to places/home folder and there trash is
02:00mcwI relly like linux though the fact that it doesn't get viruses and all that
02:00frostbyt3can someone help me with this...http://invaleed.wordpress.com/2007/11/20/install-bcm94311mcg-wlan-mini-pci-ubuntu-710/    I'm on step 2 and I can't save the file b/c it says I dont have the permissions, but I think I do
02:00xinnixiam still trying to figure out how to change user from root in a shell and switch to a new one
02:01linxehmcw: it will get viruses at some point
02:01duiuIs there a way to use anacron or cron so that something runs after something else finishes?
02:01crimsunsolexious: a bit more involved than that, but yes, essentially that's the workflow.
02:01xinnixi love linux
02:01SebNaitsabesmcw:  Linux is not immune to viruses
02:01mcwthat's vm ware running in linux?
02:01SebNaitsabesmcw: just as of right now hardly any viruses will work on a modern Linux
02:01KRFmcw, nearly.
02:01solexiouscrimsun, okies doie, will google
02:01solexiouscrimsun, ty
02:01xinnixdid i mention I LOVE LINUX
02:01KRFif you're familar with vmware, use that
02:01mcwor windows or mac os running i vm ware on linux?
02:01xinnixespecially the bactrack distro's
02:01Dr_willislinux is a very 'harsh' enviroment for a  virus to live in. :)
02:01xinnixrunning it on windows
02:02SebNaitsabesmcw: you cannot just run Mac OS X on a PC it is not like the others
02:02zzhey Dr_willis
02:02xinnixVMing the linux enviornments
02:02thenetduckhow can I check to see if I am running a 64 bit operating system in my live session?
02:02Dr_williszz,  hay.
02:02thenetduckis there a terminal command that can tell me?
02:02mcwok
02:02SebNaitsabesmcw:  it is possible to get Mac OS X running on a PC, but that is more complacated
02:02zzthenetduck: uname -a
02:02hololightone thing to remember about vm's though, they do not 'emulate' 3d accelerators
02:02frostbyt3can someone help me with this...http://invaleed.wordpress.com/2007/11/20/install-bcm94311mcg-wlan-mini-pci-ubuntu-710/    I'm on step 2 and I can't save the file b/c it says I dont have the permissions, but I think I do
02:02dreamzr4uhey ppl .. does anyone know abt the error 15 while loading grub?
02:02SebNaitsabesmcw: and then it probably won't run as good as on real Mac hardware
02:02linxehDr_willis: not really - it would be easy to code something up that ran gksudo and ask for the users password, and most users that get viruses on Windows would be just as vulnerable...
02:02Dr_willishololight,  vmware and virtualbox i hear are 'working' on that.
02:02thenetduckzz: thank you

02:03zzthenetduck: did that work? it shows kernel information
02:03KRFdreamzr4u, try to read through that or google your error
02:03mcwI haven't even figured out how to use all the paackages or programs on ubuntu studio yet
02:03dreamzr4uKRF : i had installed 6.06 on a old dell and after rebooting it gives that msg
02:03Dr_willislinxeh,   then we start getting into the argument of a 'virus' vs a 'trojan' and so forth. we had a huge discussion/flamefest of this the other week in here. :) so i aint even going to start.
02:03mcwbut I'm an awsome guitarist
02:03KRFdreamzr4u, thats pretty old, tho
02:03dreamzr4uKRF,I went thru google and it asks me to use a grub boot disk

02:04KRFdreamzr4u, i'd suggest to upgrade anyway
02:04KRFoh
02:04SebNaitsabesmcw:  and you can get a lot of Windows programs working well on Linux with Wine
02:04KRFdunno then, grub is a beast

02:05linxehDr_willis: yep. ok, no reason a virus cant live in userspace, or exploit some dodgy daemon - its not immune, but the risks are less than on windows granted :)
02:05ganymedehello, does anyone if ubuntu stays up to date with the newest fglrx? the fglrx package for hardy seems to be 8.3, which gives me a lot of diagonal tearing problems. is there a easy way to install a newer version with the package manager, or must i do it manually?

02:09SebNaitsabesUplink: Dev C++  is good
02:09th0radakos, mount the iso images using fuseiso then rip them using acidrip
02:09zzmcw: triple boot on three different hardrives, two constant systems and an extra smaller hd to experiment
02:09zelrikriandoUplink, emacs
02:09mcwI have two hard drives and two computers and a kvm switch as well confusing?
02:09^Someone^I've installed sqlite3 on Ubuntu 8.04.1 Hardy using .deb packages, but when I try to install SQLite ODBC Driver ( http://www.ch-werner.de/sqliteodbc/ ) it says sqlite could not be found
02:10frostbyt3 can someone help me add a line to a file in gedit
02:10mcwcool!!!
02:10^Someone^And indeed, I can't find any sqlite .h files anywhere
02:10zzmcw: i use a kvm as well, but i am taking this one with me. the other two are staying home
02:10UplinkSebNaitsabes, Dev C++? isnt that for windows?
02:10zelrikriandoSebNaitsabes, what s Dev C++ ?
02:10arcoscan someone help me with printer issues
02:10Uplinkzelrikriando, emacs is for C and C++?
02:10FlannelUplink: As far as IDEs go, check out anjuta, or eclipse (with cdt)
02:10SebNaitsabesUplink:   what I am thinking of I think runs on Linux as well
02:10Wizard2694can someone tell walk me through mounting my external hdd drive
02:10Wizard2694its usb 2.0
02:10adakosthOr/th0r:  i have close to 100 images. is that the easiest way ?
02:10mcwI tried that with three hard drives windows, vista, and ubuntu
02:10Wizard2694ntfs format
02:10zelrikriandoUplink, emacs is just a text editor :p
02:11SebNaitsabesUplink:  open up syanpatic package manager and search for C++  or look under programming that's an idea
02:11th0radakos, I don't know of any other
02:11zelrikriandoUplink, but that's all you need right? :p
02:11Uplinkok thank you
02:11zzmcw: i still didnt get rid of the windows bootloader
02:11Uplinka compiler... isnt it? i wanna start learning how to program in C/C++
02:11adakosthOr/th0r:  fair enough, thanks. ill look into it :)
02:11Wizard2694can anyone help me out?
02:11ilembitovHi, all. I have a question. I want to have fresher apps than those currently in 8.04 but don't want to use Intrepid repos. And getdeb.net isn't fresh enough either. Is there any repo with newer apps? Not things like toolchain. But I want Banshee 1.2.1, Transmission 1.32, Pidgin 2.5.0 and so on
02:11baba_b00iewhen i installed ubuntu 8.04 i had hdb1 as ex3 now i formatted it to fat32. how do i reflect those changes for automount during boot
02:11carandraugWizard2694, fisrt make a directory to mount the hd
02:11FlannelUplink: Indeed, you'll need a compiler.  install build-essential, and you'll have the compiler and stuff.
02:11mcwbut the windows was a 10 gig that was old and started to make clicking noises so I got rid of it!!
* Slade wonders how many workspaces his computer can support :)
02:12hololightuplink: I really recommend using a text editor to begin with and use g++ from the cli to compile
02:12Flannelilembitov: No
02:12carandraugWizard2694, yes
02:12titanhossso, is atheros wifi working for 64 bit yet?
02:12th0radakos, why rip them if they are already iso files? just mount them with fuseiso and watch them
* zz cheers Slade on, GO GO GO GO!!!
02:12SebNaitsabesilembitov: no don't think so, but if  you  do  for example the winheq.org for wine you will at least always have the latest Wine for Ubuntu
02:12^Someone^Repeat: I've installed sqlite3 on Ubuntu 8.04.1 Hardy using .deb packages, but when I try to install SQLite ODBC Driver ( http://www.ch-werner.de/sqliteodbc/ ) it says sqlite could not be found
02:12Flannelilembitov: Well, the apps might have repos for themselves, winehq keeps a wine repo for instance.
02:12linxehUplink: you need to install gcc and g++ (probably build-essential) and some kind of editor. you might want to look at an IDE later on once you know how things work - try joining #C++ or similar
02:12UplinkFlannel, i have build-essential... but i dont see it where to open it
02:12Sladezz: nah, im too lazy. 4 workspaces is enough for me
02:12zzI am sick of having to basicly shut down my system everytime gnome locks up
02:12adakosthOr/th0r:  they are taking up most of my serverspace. i have around 100 iso's and they are between 3.6~5.6 GiB each
02:12FlannelUplink: you don't open it, compilers are command line things.  Which is why you probably want an IDE
02:13carandraugWizard2694, create a directory to mount it, for example mkdir /media/drive/
02:13mcwI understand what things are but I don't always know how to use them or how to get there
02:13ilembitovDamn. I wish Ubuntu backports were more active...
02:13Uplink!ide
02:13ubottuSorry, I don't know anything about ide
02:13Uplinkuhhh :S
02:13Uplinkwhat is IDE?
02:13linxehUplink: integrated development environment. you dont want it yet
02:13FlannelUplink: anjuta or eclipse (with -cdt)
02:13th0radakos, agreed. I have converted many of mine to avi files for the same reason. But I don't know an easy or batch method
02:13SebNaitsabesilembitov: I belive Fedora Core is more on the cutting edge when it comes to new programs then Ubuntu is
02:13linxehFlannel: not yet :/ he's new. he needs to know how things work first
02:13Uplinkok let me google all this programs ty
02:13Wizard2694where do i do that from?
02:13adakosthOr/th0r:  i just moved into an apartment with 5 other guys, and they are slobs. I want to put my movies up on my server so they can watch them over the network, and keep their grubby hands off my collection!
* zz throws an IDE cable at linxeh
02:13zelrikriandoUplink, emacs and a compiler and a good C++ book is all you need for now...really
02:14linxehUplink: do not use eclise or anjuta yet imo - lots of black magic will happen otherwise
02:14Uplinkso Flannel, what exactly do i need? im about to start learning C/C++
02:14linxehgedit and a compiler will do for now
02:14ilembitovSebNaisabes: Yes, I know. That's why I prefer Fedora more. But they make the toolchain bleeding-edge, too, which isn't nice
02:14Wizard2694ok
02:14linxehand a terminal
02:14zelrikriandolinxeh, gedit sucks
02:14FlannelUplink: Suggest you move the conversation to #ubuntu-offtopic, its sort of half out of scope of this channel
02:14titanhossahh, too busy I guess.
02:14SebNaitsabesilembitov: and the Ubuntu repos are based on Debian as a result a lot of stuff is weill behind
* zz throws a pythong interpretor at linxeh
02:14linxehzelrikriando: I'm an emacs fan too. lets not get into emacs with beginners either...
02:14Uplinksorry its just that a lot of ppl recommending different applications... im quite confused which one to use
02:14carandraugWizard2694, if your problem is because when you try to mount it automatically it complains and says to force it, it's because you didn't removed it properly from Windows
02:14hololightuplink: (i am sure i will get yelled at for this...) and ide has a lot of shortcuts and other things to make a developers life easier. you should likely be working from scratch if you are just beginning
02:14frostbyt3flannel: thank you no ones helping
02:15baba_b00iewhen i installed ubuntu 8.04 i had hdb1 as ex3 now i formatted it to fat32. how do i reflect those changes for automount during boot
02:15biouserhttp://www.songtrellis.com/sounds/viewer$3919  can someone please tell me what is going on with this media?
02:15zzis anyone having trouble with gnome locking up and no programs working properly ie they all turn grey
02:15Wizard2694that is when i turn it on
02:15zelrikriandolinxeh, I stick with nedit for some reason, I really hate gedit
02:15Wizard2694how do i remove it first
02:15SebNaitsabesilembitov: you could probably use the Debian repo in Ubuntu and get later versions of programs like that, but some may not work on Ubuntu or cause problems
02:15Wizard2694im too used to windows and trying to understand this now
02:15ilembitovSebNaitsabes: Debian is nice in this terms, but it won't really get updated until Lenny, it's all Frozen until September
02:15FlannelUplink: /join #ubuntu-offtopic and we'll help
02:15Wizard2694it just says unable to mount
02:15hololightuplink: the default text editor you recieved with ubuntu will do syntax highlighting for c++, then you can compile from the command line
02:15adakosI have a command-line program, i want to pass the same parameters to a whole bunch of files, what's the easist way to do a batch command? (i know in winxp i could make a *.bat file) -- is there something similar for linux ?
02:16^Someone^Repeat: I've installed sqlite3 on Ubuntu 8.04.1 Hardy using .deb packages, but when I try to install SQLite ODBC Driver ( http://www.ch-werner.de/sqliteodbc/ ) it says sqlite could not be found
02:16SebNaitsabesilembitov: that's the stable I guess not the one they keep on updating?
02:16Uplinkhololight, ok? i'll try that :|
02:16biouserit is .mid
02:16ozpowermoHi all, nautilus is not starting up automatically when I boot up ubuntu (hardy amd64)... does anybody know how I can reinstall nautilus and/or make it start automatically on boot up?
02:16biouserhow can I play a .mid file with ubuntu?  I would have thought that would be auto
02:16th0radakos, you would write a script...check the web for tutorials on bash scripting
02:16ilembitovSebNaitsabes: They freeze testing some time before stable release. unstable doesn't get too much updated, too
02:16adakosthOr/th0r:  will do. thanks
02:16carandraugWizard2694, in windows? I believe there's an icon in the system tray. Left click there and choose to safely remove. If you don't do that, you'll have problems mounting it in Linux. You can however use the command that appears to force mount. I've done it before without losing any data but I won't take responsabilities if you do
02:17th0radakos, there is also a Advanced Bash Scripting guide...check the linux documentation project
02:17SebNaitsabesilembitov: well can alwasy get later versions of apps from the website?  ok sure you may have to compile them your self, but so be it
02:17mcwhow do you use wine I know how to install it but not what to do next
02:17Wizard2694well i never had to remove it correctly with windows, so what you are saying it turn it on, then do a correct removal in windows and it should work?
02:17Wizard2694?
02:18zelrikriandomcw, you might wanna join #winehq
02:18ilembitovSebNaitsabes: Yeah, yeah. I know all of it. Actually, I was just hoping there is some workaorund for what I consider the biggest (and probably only) Ubuntu's flaw IMHO
02:18mcwwhat is that?
02:18SebNaitsabesmcw: then go to your applications menu and at the bottom it should have wine.  and look through that
02:18biouserhttp://www.freehandmusic.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProdID=270673
02:18biousertry to liste to sample
02:18battaglinhow do I set LANG to be en_US.utf-8
02:19titanhoss<-- just wants to get wireless working on his HP.. so he's not tied to the end of a 15 meter cat 5
02:19Wizard2694is that correct cara?
02:19carandraugWizard2694, yes. Next time you should do it (that's the correct way of removing it). Or you can try to force mount. Like I said, I've done it previously several times with no problems but...
02:19linxehbattaglin: export LANG=en_US.utf-8
02:19mcwi have it installed I just don't know what do do next????
02:19zelrikriandomcw, that's the wine support channel , just do /join #winehq
02:19zzI am sick of needing to shutdown everything when gnome locks up
02:19Wizard2694how do i do a force mount?
02:19mdgrnhello
02:19mcwhow do you change channels from this one?
02:19battaglinlinxeh:  in terminal?  thnx
02:19Wizard2694so i know how to do it?

02:20carandraugWizard2694, when it said that it couldn't mount, didn't it had an option to get more details? It showns the command to use there

02:22TubbyCat12xD

02:22Dr_willisI find vim simple. :) you just have to learn it.

02:22TubbyCat12thanks
02:22Flanneluoaphys: You shouldn't need PPA for KDE4.  But I suppose there might be updatd versions.  Ask in #kubuntu-kde4, they'll know for sure.
02:23mcwI just don't know how to change irc channels???
02:23jdavisI accidently hit "windows key + e" and it zoomed in. How do I undo that?
02:23jegani am using ubuntu7.04 ... i have Gaim instant messanger in that it shows all protocols like yahoo,IRC... etc but not google !!! i need to use google ... any help on hw to add google
02:23Dr_willismcw,  depends on the irc client.

02:24jdavisIt zoomed in my entire screen and it keeps shifting around. How do I get it back to normal?
02:25battaglinmcw:  xchat.org
02:25Dr_willisjdavis,  try windows+e again? You could disable that feature in the ccsm control panel tool.
02:25mcwwere do I type that?
02:25Dr_willisjdavis, theres some key combo +mouse wheel also. that zooms.
02:25battaglinmcw:  in firefox???????
02:25mcwand what is it?
02:25Dr_willismcw,  right wehree ya typed 'where do i type that'
02:25mcwha ha ok
02:25jdavisDr_willis: whew, it was the mouse wheel, and I undid it. Thanks!
02:25mcwin here?
02:25Dr_willismcw,  you may want to read a few irc beginner guides.. xchat has a  help menu. :)
02:26mdgXchat not Ex-chat
02:26battaglinmcw:  the program you are using? are u blind?
02:26mcwwere are those?
02:26jeganhow to add a new protocol in Gaim
02:26Dr_willis Top right menu item in this Xchat i have is 'help' :) with help docs.. :)
02:26adakosooh thats what i need!! anyone know where i can find a good network monitoring program that can tell me current bandwidth usage, total sent/received, used over 24 hrs, etc.. but the catch is it has to be web-based or terminal based since i run a headless server.
02:26Dr_willishttp://xchat.org/docs/
02:26carandraugjegan, don't you mean Pidgin?
02:27mcwI know I am talking to you now on ubuntu server but I don't know how to go anywhere else??
02:27Dr_williscarandraug,  hes using the old ubuntu befor pidgin - from what i read.
02:27^Someone^Someome please help : \ I've installed sqlite3 on Ubuntu 8.04.1 Hardy using .deb packages, but when I try to install SQLite ODBC Driver ( http://www.ch-werner.de/sqliteodbc/ ) it says sqlite could not be found
02:27Dr_willismcw,  add a new server, or select one from the xchat > network list menu.. or use the /server command
02:27ozpowermoHi all, nautilus is not starting up automatically when I boot up ubuntu (hardy amd64)... does anybody know how I can reinstall nautilus and/or make it start automatically on boot up?
02:27jeganya but i hav as gaim in my ubuntu
02:27baba_b00iehow do i configure ubuntu 8.04 to boot without the splash screen and not to go straight in to X11
02:27carandraugDr_willis, hmm, ok. But the interface should be similiar, I hope
02:27mcw8.04.1
02:28mcwwitch one of those options?
02:28DDRmcw: type /join #channelNameHere
02:28mcwirc?
02:28Dr_williscarandraug,  features may not be.  I have neer used eitehr to do google chat.. so no idea if the old one can even do googlechat or not.
02:28mcw in this same box I am typing in?
02:28Dr_willismcw,  it may be worth wile to just explore the menu items a bit.  depending on EXACTLY what you want to do.
02:28carandraugjegan, I use Pidgin but the interface should be similiar. Is there a menu named accounts with and add/edit option? Go there
02:29Dr_willismcw,  /server irc.newircserver.com  will connect to a new/different irc server.  There is a server 'settings/interface' area in the xchat settings. Note that this is in XCHAT, not 'xchat-gnome' the 2 differ in the layout a lot.
02:29mcwis it network, and then channels?
02:29FungusmanHi guys I want a stripped down windows client
02:29carandraugjegan, also, ever thought of updating to pidgin?
02:29Fungusmanxfce doesnt seem to be very stripped down
02:29mcwthat seems to make sence
02:30FungusmanI was wondering what ubuntu room can suggest
02:30Dr_willisFungusman,  xfce is very minimal. yet full featured.
02:30jeganya i went there and saw ... it displays all protocols except google !!
02:30qrFungusman: try ion3, you don't get more stripped down then that
02:30FungusmanWhat is puppy linux using ?
02:30Dr_willisFungusman,  depends on exactly what you want. as far as a 'full desktop' xfce is about as light as they get.
02:30Fungusmanhow would I install ion3 ?
02:30qrjegan: googletalk uses jabber
02:30FlannelFungusman: try fluxbox
02:30FungusmanThanks for the help guise
02:30Dr_willisFungusman,  puppy uses jwm + rox file manager.
02:30favroFungusman: I think fluxbox is good :)
02:30mcwI am in xchat gnome
02:30qrFungusman: apt-get install ion3
02:30mcwirc
02:30Dr_willisFungusman,  thats what im using now in Ubuntu. :)
02:30LeefmcQuestion: I am attempting to make/install a library but i get an error saying i do not have a high enough glib version, it requires 2.12.0 or greater. If i search for glib in the packagemanager however, it says i have libglib2.0-0 version 2.16.4 installed, any thoughts as to what could be wrong?
02:30mcwme too
02:30FungusmanI love puppy it rocks
02:31Fungusmanok Im gonna try ion3
02:31dumbdumI used GParted to copy my Mint linux Install to a bigger HDD, now it wont boot! Any help appreciated.
02:31Dr_willisFungusman,  you may want to check out 'icewm' and set it up to use 'rox' also.
02:31mcwis that speedy (puppy)
02:31karnameplease help me : I have dell inspiron 6400 laptob , when i set turning the lcd off after minutes , my ubuntu is crash, mean all of key is disable , this problem is also when i turn computer to stand by
02:31carandraugFungusman, ever tried Iwm? You can't go more stripped down than that
02:31Dr_willisFungusman,  some of these uber-light window managers are VERY 'odd' in ways.
02:31Fungusmanok
02:31FungusmanFor some reason my new laptp can get sluggish with ubuntu
02:32Fungusmanbeen daul booting xp and notice that xp is less slugish (but more on the fritz lol)
02:32qrFungusman: you can also try wmii (which is my personal wm of choice) but it's a very /different/ sort of wm if you are used to XP.
02:32Dr_willisFungusman,  right now i normally run 'icewm' and 'rox -p=default' to get the rox pinboard. :)
02:32mcwI take it you like mushrooms fungusman!!
02:32carandraugFungusman, if it's new, the reason is probably not an heavy window manager
02:32mcweither that or you live in a moldy house
02:33Fungusmanlol
02:33Fungusmanfungusman is a dnd monster : )
02:33mcwoh ok
02:33ozpowermoAnybody know how to start nautilus at boot? Mine is not starting up when ubuntu boots... I have to manually start it! Anybody? Please?
02:33Fungusmanlol talking dnd in the linux room ohhhh jeezz
02:33jegani cold not connect to my google /// wen i enter my username and pass ...  in jabber

02:33adakosooh thats what i need!! anyone know where i can find a good network monitoring program that can tell me current bandwidth usage, total sent/received, used over 24 hrs, etc.. but the catch is it has to be web-based or terminal based since i run a headless server.
02:33SNuxollreal men use windowmaker as their wm
02:34PulpieSNuxoll: real men use bsd

02:35carandraug!hi | sivel_
02:35ubottusivel_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
02:35Dr_willisFungusman,  Puppy is using 'jwm' and the 'rox' file manager.. use the package manager, search for jwm and rox-filer (i think) and install those
02:35sivel_ty
02:35linxehPulpie: but there isnt much choice for real men ;-)
02:35Dr_willisFungusman,  you will need to configure jwm to run rox at startup. (and tweak its menus)
02:35dasunsrule32B-)
02:35Fungusmank
02:35sivel_im about to pull my hair out over this network problem that just "happened" when everything was running smoothly for 3 months....
02:35Fungusmanbrb
02:35mcwtried mandriva
02:36mcwtried open suse
02:36Pulpielinxeh: lol
02:36adakosDr_willis ill try that
02:36mcwtried musix
02:36Dr_willisFungusman,  and yes.. ive spend many an hr reading the jwm docs. and learning how to tweak the .jwmrc config file and themes. :)
02:36Slademcw: my apologies for mandriva and open suse
02:36mcwha ha
02:36mcwno real support
02:36adakosDr_willis do i need to install apache?
02:36mcwno updates
02:36Slademcw: open suse = novell. novell = lousy support.
02:36Pascal[Quebec]Hi
02:36Picimcw: Do you have a support question?
02:37sivel_all of the sudden, my eth0 device does not exist, yet it seems to be getting a ip from my router, yet cant ping the router
02:37Dr_willisadakos,  no idea. I just toyed with ntop for a while ages ago.. and resized it was 10000x more features then what i needed. :)
02:37Pascal[Quebec]Prob with amsn... version 0.97.2 .
02:37kevin083hi... when i boot i see 22.352830] ata1.00: limited to UDMA/33 due to 40-wire cable... is this referring to the cd-rom drive or the hard disk?
02:37PulpiePascal[Quebec]: centerim
02:37mcwi want to learn more so I can help as many people as I can get off of winblows!
02:37kauerHi there. I need a kind of "virtual cable" I can sniff. I have an ssh tunnel from my computer to a server, but I need to see what's going over the tunnel. I want to set up a local "hop" on my computer that I can inspect with (say) wireshark.  Ideas?
02:37adakosDr_willis perfect! i like features

02:38dumbdumI used GParted to copy my Mint linux Install to a bigger HDD, now it wont boot! Any help appreciated.
02:38mcwor is it discontinued
02:38Flannel!wine | mcw
02:38ubottumcw: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility.
02:38sivel_any ideas as to where i can start? it was working flawlessly for months, no prob
02:38Flannelmcw: Automatix isn't supported, and it's not needed either. there's nothing that it will help you with.
02:39Picidumbdum: You'd need to contact Mint for support then, we do not support that here.
02:39Flannelmcw: (isn't supported means we don't support it, and neither do the people who wrote it)

02:42frostbyt3is tar the run command?
02:43Flannelmcw: If you have further questions, feel free to ask them here.
02:43mcwhow do I get to that and why are people so strict,on the ubuntu website it says you can learn from people here?
02:43mcwthank you flannel
02:43mcwflannel pj's rock!!
02:43mcwthere comfortable
02:43Flannelmcw: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine  is the web site.  We're strict with staying on topic because there's lots of people who want support, and we can't have 100 conversations in the meantime.
02:44mcwand so are the sheets
02:44ParanoidAndroidThat has plenty to do with Ubuntu.
02:44sivel_can anyone lend a helping hand to my network problem?

02:45mcwhow many of you are Canadians that I am talking to??
02:45mamoI have 2 hard drives...... on one of them i installed ubuntu, and then on the second hard drive i installed win2k and after the windows installation finished, i no longer see ubuntu and windows starts right through. I went system control on windows and show 30 second for multipile os was already checked. so how can i make my pc show me a list of os so i can chose which on i want to start????
02:45mcwI want to promote ubunu up here
02:46Dr_willismamo,  you bneed to decide if you want ubuntu/grub to handle the multi os's or let windows handle it. (i suggest grub)
02:46mcwwe are open minded here
02:46Dr_willis!fixgrub | mamo
02:46ubottumamo: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto

02:53kevin083bonez46: yes
02:53mcwyes
02:53mcwxchat
02:54bonez46kevin083: ok, downloading it now.. is it basically d/l and install and play?
02:54Dr_willismcw,  be sure you are not mistaking 'xchat-gnome' with 'xchat' also :) the 2 are different.
02:54Slademcw: ok, then where you're typing everything to tell us stuff,   type in /join #ubuntu-offtopic
02:54LeefmcAnyone? I see its for intrepid, but there has got to be a download for hardy, no?
02:54carandraugSlade, he's using X-chat with the gnome interface. The buttons are in different places so I've heard and if he can't find a button, I was trying to avoid telling him to use the /join command
02:54mcwI am using xchat gnome irc chat
02:54zelrikriando I cant open 'hyperlinks' anymore from outside of firefox...firefox wont respond to it. Some ideas?
02:54mcwit's that easy
02:55Dr_willismcw,  I would suggest using 'xchat' and dumping xchat-gnome. everyone hates xchat-gnome it seems. :)
02:55kevin083bonez46: yes, there is also nexuiz, alien arena, sauerbraten and openarena, but oa is a bit more offensive
02:55[z]neoany site that can i check how to install freenx for hardy?
02:55Dr_willis!freenx
02:55ubottuFreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX
02:55mcwjust plain xchat right
02:55mcwno gnome?

03:01Leefmcnode357: Gegl, Babl (required by gegl) are not on the standard hardy repo, as far as i can tell. And i can't compile bable because it requires glib 2.12 or greater.. of which i already have installed.
03:01tenseiI'm thinking of putting virtualbox on ubuntu 8.04... do I need another partition?
03:01Sladeoi
03:01Leefmcnode357: Technically i have libglib-2.0 iirc, and the version number states that it is 2.16
03:01bonez46kevin083: other than running 'sudo apt-get install tremulous' what should one have to do to run it?
03:01kevin083tensei: no
03:02Leefmcnode357: Any thoughts?
03:02charles_adakos: both Transmission and Deluge have headless, gui, and web interfaces
03:02kevin083bonez46: i'm not sure, as i installed it from the installer at the tremulous.net site
03:02[z]neowhy i cant play real media files?
03:02kevin083bonez46: you can probably type tremulous in a terminal and if that works make a shortcut
03:02adakoscharles_ thanks!
03:02tenseikevin083: I was reading a how to on installing it on 8.04 and it has a section about picking a hard disk.  So I wasn't sure if it was asking for a partition to boot the virtual OS from
03:02[z]neoi already install the codec
03:02sysdocWhen you run ps aux VSZ and RSS are displayed, is the RSS value included in the VSZ value?

03:04kevin083tensei: i've also heard that it is possible to run a real windows install with virtualbox but NOT recommended because it can cause problems with the real install (e.g. when it sees new hardware)

03:11Flanneltensei: virtualbox is actual virtualization (emulation, etc).  Wine isn't
03:11os2machow does one add a universal keybinding for a particular application?
03:11kevin083tensei: wine will give you hardware graphics acceleration and be faster, but it is not windows and not all apps will work
03:11carandraugtensei, with wine you don't need to install windows. It's kind of an emulator but not one. It's better to use wine if you can
03:12carandraugtensei, but with wine not all programs work well
03:12tenseithanks for all the feedback!.. Is finding out if a program works with wine trial and error, or is their a way.. also.. how would you install a program through wine, would it put it on your windows partition or the linux one?

03:19billy____is there any way to get an iso from a live cd?
03:19FlannelLeefmc: That's expected.  It'll try and remove a lot of other packages as well (because they depend on glibc), you'll want to force the old version
03:19billy____or do i have to dl ubuntu again?
03:19LeefmcFlannel: Yea but how?
03:19kitcheLeefmc: ubuntu-desktop can be removed
03:19kitcheFlannel: by chance how did you get glibc from glib?
03:19billy____anyone? is there any way to get an .iso from an ubuntu livedisk?
03:19Flannelkitche: I assumed thats what he was talking about.

03:20deathownerhi alll
03:20Mecha25billy: you can download one from ubuntu.com, or use a ISO ripper, such is Imgburn
03:20billy____i want to make a linux vm on my windows comp
03:20Mecha25imgburn runs in windows
03:20Mecha25it'll do it
03:21billy____Mecha25 can i get that for windows?
03:21kitcheLeefmc: since gnome is your desktop ubuntu-desktop just installs all the programs and such kinda like a giant pull mechinism
03:21LeefmcFlannel: The weird thing is, its glib that is "bad", but the broken fix is not mentioning glib at all
03:21Mecha25billy: imgburn is windows only
03:21billy____oh aight kewl
03:21billy____lol thanks
03:21Leefmckitche: eh? _all the programs_?
03:21Mecha25no problem
03:21LeefmcWell anyway, here goes
03:21akahigehello.  I can't login to my desktop. I'm getting an error that says "User's HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored" then goes on to talk about file and dir ownership... Don't know what went wrong. All I did was reboot...
03:22meoblast001hi... im using gtk-recordmydesktop with some emulator... and the sound isnt recording.... welll.. its not audible in the video... how can i fix this?
03:22tenseimecha25: what's up man
03:22LeefmcMan this sucks. I hate compiling your own libraries :/
03:22Mecha25nothing much, still looking for USB support
=== De[X]tone is now known as dextone
03:22kitcheLeefmc: well for non gnome applications but it just makes it easier to get the desktop to a useable state for dekstop users really so they just have to log in instead of installing the programs that ubuntu-desktop pulls in
03:22billy____Mecha25 how big is the file?
* dextone morning guys...
03:22billy____nvm
03:22billy____its small
03:22billy____lol
03:23meoblast001any idea?
03:23meoblast001how do you turn Jack on
03:23meoblast001that might help
03:23thomasiteI have a question. :) I have already FrostWire 4.13.5 on my laptop and each time I use it, there's a message box saying I could upgrade it to the latest version. The problem is, I didn't actually download FrostWire from the FrostWire website; I downloaded it from getdeb.
03:23thomasiteDo I upgrade my FrostWire or just keep this version?
03:23Mecha25Anybody know why doing intensive reads from a USB device (external drive) causes all USB support to die on my laptop till reboot?
03:23thomasiteThanks.
03:25Leefmckitche: Are you familiar with compiling?

03:26mdgCan netzero be successfully used with Ubuntu?
03:26Mecha25leefmc: did you try sudo apt-get build-dep babl?

03:27Gneamdg: i'm finding quite a bit of i google for: ubuntu netzero
03:27Mecha25try that, if you have the "Source Code" box enabled in your Software Sources window, it should automatically install the dependencies
03:27mdgI heard it works with linspire of whatever they call it these days, but ick I want Ubuntu
03:28PokshunFriends, I am new to Ubuntu/Linux. I got some questions 1) Why is it that some packages I have to manually get the source and compile/install myself.. whereas others I can just apt-get install? 2) I compiled the GNU GSL library from source, and installed it even.. but when i do a "whereis gsl" command it shows empty. But I know the library was installed succsesffuly because I was able to compile my code which depended on it.
03:28michalskiquestion; how do you change the default runlevel at boot (I've already customized them using sysv-rc-conf)
03:28Gneacrames|: i highly doubt that.
03:28LeefmcMecha25: Will do, thank you
03:29LeefmcMecha25: It says it is unable to find source package for babl
03:29kitcheLeefmc: well that is most likely due to the pkgconfig looking in a different spot then what the .pc file is installed to

03:30LeefmcMecha25: Which source code?
03:30LeefmcMecha25: Do you mean a source repository? Or the "Source Code" checkbox

03:31LeefmcMecha25: It was checked then
03:31Mecha25odd...
03:31kitcheLeefmc: well for the babl thing you do need the source code most likely to compile whatever your compiling I m a bit busy right now really due to looking up computer parts

03:31LeefmcMecha25: Although, technically its not "checked", it has a dash

04:34hitman1985num1, command is "wine" and then ?

04:53tritiumhitman1985: google has packaged google earth for ubuntu.  They have their own repository.
04:53weternalis it listed in the appearance preferences menu as extra effects?
04:53Luniswols: that's almost what i need, but i need to check actual deb files
04:53num1hitman1985: then I have no idea why it won't let you uninstall, unless you didn't install it from synaptic or from apt-get

04:54Wizard2694im seeing alot more coming out for linux/ubuntu lately
04:54Flannelweternal: Its very limited at what you can configure out of the box.  install compizconfig-settings-manager for something more like youre used to
04:54pazsionok, after letting it boot, it disabled the xserver..becuase its not setup right
04:54num1hitman1985: I'd try installing a program on wine and seeing if the menu "magically appeared"

04:59shadowbladeHello, I'm trying to install gvfs from source, and ./configure told me "Requested 'glib-2.0 >= 2.17.6' but version of GLib Uninstalled is 2.16.0", so I installed glib 2.17.7 from source, but synaptic still says the installed version is 2.16.4, so the configure for gvfs is still seeing it as out of date. Help?
05:00hitman1985http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html
05:00Kurcz_can someone help me set up my sound? I tried the guides but I'm not having any luck
05:00hitman1985tritium, http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html
05:00crdlbshadowblade: why would you do that?
05:00hitman1985tritium, thats what i downloaded :)
05:00tritiumhitman1985: use the google repositories for which I gave you a URL.
05:00Lunismodem_: deb http://www.nanolx.org/apt excelsior main
05:00ganjamanwhat filesystem would you run on a 4tb partition?
05:00hitman1985tritium, i want to get rid of it not install it :)
05:00Lunismodem_: to save you the poking around
05:00ganjamani think ext3 is to bananistic
05:00shadowbladecrdlb: I'm getting errors from nautilus like "Cannot open computer: locations" and one tip from the support forums was to install the latest version of gvfs from the offical sources.
05:00G3N0weternal: thanks man it works now :D
05:01cafreeCan someone walk me through how to configure sound support in VirtualBox?  I don't see any settings for it
05:01Guest1091@Paz - I believe you can use "sudo gedit /ect/X11/xorg.conf"
05:01Bhaveshcan i still download/install ubuntu server 8.04 ?
05:01hitman1985tritium, that gives you a googleearthlinux.bin file
05:01tritiumhitman1985: yes, I know
05:01hitman1985tritium, do you know how to get my wine shortcuts back in the applications ?
05:01ganjamanyou need to drink beere
05:02modem_Lunis, thanks a bunch :)
05:02hitman1985tritium, cuz i installed dw8 now and still no luck :(
05:02tritiumhitman1985: I don't use wine, sorry
05:02crdlbshadowblade: it would be much more practical to upgrade to intrepid once it hits beta
05:02SeaPhorpazsion, what are you wanting to do in the xorg.conf?
05:02Lunismodem_: enjoy :)
05:02velvithammerbeer
05:02pazsionooo ok i need to be connected =)
05:02hitman1985tritium, why why why did i stuupido erase it in the first place :( <- mad at myself now
05:02crdlbshadowblade: but you may need to specify PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig when running ./configure
05:02shadowbladecrdlb: I kind of needed to get to a usb flash drive in the next hour.
05:02[z]neohey guys, is this installation setup for freenx works on hardy heron? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX

05:03skplcan someone help me with adding a new program to my applications menu?
05:04shadowbladecrdlb: It doesn't automount and I don't know the /dev file for it - also I gather from the forums that the problem breaking nautilus may also render flash drives unmountable
05:04ari_stressskpl: right click on the menu > edit menu

05:06cycomskpl: Applications -> Internet -> Thunderbird isn't there?

05:06skplcycom: no, only evolution mail client
05:06pazsionSEAphor i just re-installed xserver-xorg i'm rebooting to see if this fujitsu lifebook b2620 will run ubuntu
05:06ari_stressskpl: how about typing 'thunderbird' in a terminal, just to make sure
05:06skplari_stress: command not found
05:07cycomskpl: then you don't have it installed.
05:07SeaPhorpazsion, there are some graphical fixes if not working the first time

05:07bozyI installed apache2 ,but the file httpd.conf is empty.What can I do?
05:08skplari_stress:  thank you as well
05:08Flannelbozy: debian based distros don't use httpd.conf, they use a number of other files depending on what you're modifying.  What are you trying to change?

05:09cycomLadySerena: ugh. been licking that demon again?
05:09ari_stressno problem skpl: apt-get install thunderbird
05:09Flannelbozy: apache2.conf is for serverwide configs, stuff in mods-enabled/ is for module configs and stuff in sites-enabled/ is for specific virtual hosts.

05:09LeefmcQuestion: Whats a good DVD Player? MPlayer seems to stink horribly at it, same for MoviePlayer
05:09IndyGunFreakLeefmc: vlc
05:09LeefmcIndyGunFreak: K thanks
05:09LeefmcIndyGunFreak: Wonder why MPlayer sucks at it, it rocks everything else imo
05:10IndyGunFreakLeefmc: eh, i'm the wrong person to ask that, i hate mplayer
05:10Leefmcah
05:10TJ-Linuxalright, I need some help.  I wanted to change the way the file browser would mount a drive so I edited the fstab file, now when I try to mount the drive in the file browser I am told "unable to mount" and that I need to mount the volume as root.  While before it would ask me for my root password, now it does not... if before I needed permission and it would ask me, what do I need to set in fstab so that it will ask me now?
05:10tritiumLeefmc: xine is another option
05:10pazsiono dude, i'm usint 7.04....wth?
05:10pazsioni thought it upgraded...
05:10G3N0If i just installed a program through sudo apt-get and its nto showing up in the applications drop down menu how do i run it?
05:10Leefmctritium: Which is better? I've personally never liked vlc
05:10IndyGunFreakxine isn't bad.. but it is a bit glitchy for me
05:11IndyGunFreak!best | Leefmc
05:11ubottuLeefmc: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots.
05:11tritiumLeefmc: depends on your preference.
05:11G3N0how do i run a program through terminal without navigation to it?
05:11cycomLeefmc: try totem-xine :)
05:11LeefmcIndyGunFreak: Yes yes, but just assume when people ask you which is "best", that they want your opinion. :p, after all, thats all you can give anyway. Nothing is "best".
05:11tritiumG3N0: if it's not already in your path, specify the full path
05:11cycomLeefmc: lets you use all your pretty multimedia buttons on a laptop, but works with DVDs
05:12G3N0tritium: i don't know the path thats the thing, how do i search it?
05:12IndyGunFreakLeefmc: but some people think there's actually  'best' application for something, when there's not
05:12tritiumG3N0: which, whereis, find, etc.
05:12LeefmcIndyGunFreak: Blech, imo there is :). Sure its still opinion, but generally as long as the opinion is educated, it is probably right.
05:12G3N0tritium: omg that was easy thankyou
05:12cycomLeefmc: you might have to remove totem-gstreamer to get it to use totem-xine though.  not sure how to select totem-xine as the default.
05:13bozythink you, Flannel
05:13cycomLeefmc: but totem-xine is what I use until totem-gstreamer supports DVD menus.
05:13IndyGunFreaklater all
05:13tritiumG3N0: got it working?
05:13G3N0tritium: trying now ;)
05:14anachronoksanyone figured out a way to watch the olympics?
05:14pazsionugh, xorg is still loading the last config after reinstalling xserver-xorg...i need it to detect it or let me select other drivers/modules
05:14G3N0tritium: wierd.... it says launching kismet server. suid priv-dropping disabled. this may not be secuire. done.
05:14cycomLadySerena: also, BSD might call it a Daemon, but I don't answer to them :)
05:14tritiumanachronoks: I think your question lacks detail.  I'm watching them right now.
05:14pazsionwatching the olyimpics...turn on the tv?
05:15anachronoksconsidering this is a ubuntu chat and not a TV chat, i thought the context was already clear ;)
05:15cycompazsion: there's a command to reconfigure Xorg automagically, but I can't remember it... make a backup of your old xorg.conf just in case though
05:15tritiumanachronoks: you might let us know, then, if you have a TV tuner card, or what you're asking
05:15hbalinthi. I have a problem. don't know, how to get my ati radeon X300 videocard work fine on ubuntu8.04?  I wanted to play Age of mithology, in wine. but, the screen is flicking. it do it also if I want to play Supertux. what should I do?
05:16LadySerenaXorg -configure
05:16pazsionthe old xorg is not needed
05:16LadySerenayou'd know that if you read your manuals  :)
05:16utnubu_userI need to know if ubuntu stores data about the users and their activities like windows does. If so, how can I delete such files?
05:16tritiumcycom, LadySerena: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
05:16Flannelutnubu_user: which activities?
05:16anachronoksokay, let me try again. does anyone know how to watch the olympics, online, without a tv tuner card or a TV
05:16LadySerenatritium, that seems needlessly complicated
05:16tritiumLadySerena: it's not
05:16anachronokson Ubuntu!!
05:16anachronoks;)
05:16LeefmcBah. vlc isn't working heh
05:17LadySerenaXorg -configure  <-- what could be easier?
05:17hbalintXorg -configure
05:17cycomtritium: pazsion I think he needs dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
=== Bruno_F_ is now known as Bruno_F
05:17tritiumcycom: not generally
05:18tritiumLadySerena: xserver-xorg is under package management.  It is best to use dpkg-reconfigure in such cases.
05:18LadySerenaactually, /etc/X11/xorg.conf doesn't even exist on my laptop  :D
05:18pazsionabc i think is the boradcast network
05:18cycomLadySerena: Oh? How come?
05:19LadySerenanever made it
05:19anachronokswell i guess i just have to install windows like with 90% of the other stuff i want to do
05:19Reformer81I use Ubuntu at home for my family desktop.  Is there any way to cause a user to automatically be logged off after a certain time of inactivity?
05:19utnubu_userFlannel, something like which applications are used, which internet sites are visited, and other personal data
05:19sk33t0rhey all.. I've got this issue where I need to restart my pc when I plug in a knew usb device for ubuntu to recognize it.. any ideas how to circumvent that minor inconvenience
05:19skplcan someone explain to me how to change my login password in ubuntu?
05:19Leefmccycom: How do you view a dvd with totem-xine? I downloaded it, but it has no icon, and all i see is the standard totem
05:19cycomLadySerena: as in you never use X or as in it autoconfigures itself?
05:19Reformer81anachronoks: Sadly, that is sometimes the only solution.
05:19cycomLeefmc: uninstall totem-gstreamer
05:19cycomthen run totem
05:19Reformer81skpl: System > Administration > Users & Groups
05:19cycomit's the standard totem interface, just with a different backend
05:19LadySerenaI use X ... sometimes.  I just let it autodetect everything.  :3
05:20Flannelutnubu_user: internet sites visited would be stored in the webbrowser, you can clear them out through firefox.  I'm not sure about what sort of "other personal data", but which applications are used isn't stored, no.
05:20anachronoksokay.. thanks anyway
=== skpl is now known as lint
05:20Reformer81Leefmc: If you install totem-xine, it's basically just a pack of codecs.  The DVD should open in regular Totem now.
05:20weternalhey I'm trying to get compiz to do all of the cool stuff I've seen it do in videos
05:20LeefmcReformer81: It didnt
05:20cycomLadySerena: I tend to have special things like ATI or NVidia drivers or wacom tablets or other crap :)
05:20LeefmcReformer81: Now it does
05:20LeefmcReformer81: Now that gstreamer is gone
05:20cycomLeefmc: besides, I like my wobbly windows.
05:20anachronoksweternal i believe you need to install the advanced desktop effect settings
05:20pazsionok if i update this somehow from 7.04 to 8.04 will i beable to reconfigure xorg as well?
05:20cycomLeefmc: and you'll get all your fancy menus too! :)
05:21tritiumutnubu_user: some programs store user data in dot-files or directories.  (e.g., pidgin stores account info in ~/.purple)
05:21sk33t0ranyone ever have to restart their pc for ubuntu to recognize a new usb device?
05:21weternalI just installed the advanced desktop effects settings
05:21cycompazsion: is this a dell laptop that came with 7.04 preinstalled?
05:21Leefmccycom: Hmm, it said it cant play it without libdvdcss, but there isn't a libdvdcss in the repo..
05:21FuRomHow do I upgrade intltool to intltool 0.40.0 or higher?
05:21LadySerenaI have my touchpad and a USB mouse that I sometimes connect, both are handled by moused
05:21weternalI'm not sure how to configure it thought
05:21Leefmccycom: I have libdvdread3 installed, but thats obviously not working heh
05:21LadySerenaXorg doesn't know which is which, since it just reads /dev/sysmouse
05:21cycomLeefmc: you have to enable universe and multiverse I think.
05:22Reformer81Leefmc: libdvdcss is illegal to distribute.  Search google for it and you'll find instructions on how to install it.
05:22xxploitLeefmc: add the medibuntu repo
05:22cycomLeefmc: also check out medibuntu, since it has w32codecs.
05:22tritium!medibuntu | Leefmc
05:22ubottuLeefmc: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org
05:22pazsionlolz dell does that? damn dell....no it is fujitusu
05:22anachronoksweternal you go through the list of effects and turn the ones on you want to use. click the icon to configure them
05:22pazsionand i've installed it myself
05:22cycompazsion: sells laptops with ubuntu preinstalled? yeah.
05:22weternalI've been playing with it for a bit but it's not doing the wobbly windows or the cool minimize effects or the cube desktop
05:23Reformer81weternal: install compizconfig-settings-manager
05:23pazsioncycom your right i do...i didn't know dell did, ubuntu is kinda new to me
05:23utnubu_userFlannel, I am asking this because the US is checking electronic equipment such as laptops, cellphones, digital cameras, etc at the airports or entry points. I do not want them looking at what I do on my pc, since sensitive data can be stolen...
05:23Reformer81weternal: That will give you access to all the settings of Compiz.
05:23anachronokswobbly windows is under effects, did you try enabling it?
05:23Reformer81utnubu_user: The US does not turn it on to see what you've been doing.
05:23cycompazsion: but yeah, I'd do dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg.  that should get you back to close to the defaults.  why did you change it in ther first place?
05:23cycomI'd get X working _before_ you upgrade to 8.04
05:24weternalyeah I'm trying to get the compizconfig settings manager to do some of the basic effects and it's not
05:24Reformer81weternal: Try setting everything to default.
05:24pazsioncycom so i could see what i was doing, and its always reconfiguered itself in the past
05:24ganymedeis there a way to make SCIM input global and default? now, in gtk apps, i have to right click a text entry box and set the input method to SCIM, but i'd like the text input method to be SCIM always, on all applications
05:24Reformer81I use Ubuntu at home for my family desktop.  Is there any way to cause a user to automatically be logged off after a certain time of inactivity?
05:24cycomweternal: did you go into appearence and enable desktop effects already?
05:24utnubu_userReformer81, Well, as far as I know they do it now. I saw it a few mins. ago at the news. "To avoid terrorist activities"
05:25LadySerenahttp://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/LadySerena/laptop/panther_logos.jpg
05:25LadySerenaPanther, my little laptop  <3
05:25cycomweternal: as in System->Preferences->Appearence?
05:25modem_utnubu_user, use LVM
05:25Reformer81utnubu_user: Haha... wouldn't surprise me.  Oh well... land of the free.
05:25Reformer81...or something like that
05:25weternalwhen I try to do that it tells me that I can't use desktop effects
05:25bringatowelutnubu_user, if you want you can delete your whole /home/username directory and recreate each time you start, but it would be a hassle. have you considered encrypting the entire hard drive?
05:25cycomweternal: well that's why you're not getting them :)
05:25weternalI was wondering if I was using the right video card driver
05:25cycomweternal: what graphics card do you have?
05:25weternalati 9000
05:26cycomweternal: do you have fglrx installed?
05:26G3N0whats the command to find out my chipset?
05:26weternalsomeone told me that should work with the compiz effects
05:26weternalum not sure
05:26weternalis that a proprietary driver
05:26weternalprobably not
05:26Reformer81utnubu_user: You could also just password protect it.  Besides, I doubt the security personnel have ever seen Linux.
05:26weternalI tried installing the xorg driver
05:26weternalbut that didn't change the problem
05:26tritium!enter | weternal
05:26ubottuweternal: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
05:27weternaloh sorry
05:27cycomweternal: go into system->administration->hardware drivers
05:27G3N0how do i find out my chipset?
05:27modem_utnubu_user, id use LVM (aes-256) to encrypt the entire drive (swap space included)
05:27cycomG3N0: try lspci in terminal.
05:27G3N0ty
05:27weternalit says no proprietary drivers
05:28Reformer81weternal: Well, the ATI 9000 is a really old card......
05:28sk33t0rI've got this issue where I need to restart my pc when I plug in a knew usb device for ubuntu to recognize it.. any ideas how to get around this inconvenience ?
05:28Reformer81Then again, I get great Compiz effects with just onboard video :)
05:28modem_you can go all with that and keep /boot on a USB key so no one can boot without the key
05:28grendal_primecycom: i have one of those
05:28Reformer81modem_: That works?
05:28pazsioncycom conflicting actions??? sudo dpkg -reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
05:28Reformer81modem_: Only if you can boot from USB, of course, right?
05:29|2-bits|hey. I'm wondering if there is a way to configure network manager to run a specified script upon connection to a particular access point?
05:29weternalhmm should it be offering to download a driver for the ati 9000?
05:29cycompazsion: dpkg-reconfigure. no space
05:29cycomgrendal_prime: one of what?
05:29modem_Reformer81, yeah you need to be able to boot from it
05:29pazsionah
05:29Reformer81weternal: Uhm, if that's what you have, then I'm sure that's what it should be downloading :P
05:29Leefmcugh i give up loi. Some things ubuntu really needs to work on.. i cant even play this damn dvd :o
05:29omkarfriends help me a bit I am in System-Admin-Printing I have to connect to a Shared Printer which is connected to a Windows XP machine on the Network

05:29weternalit's not offering to download anything thought
05:29tritiumLeefmc: did you read the medibuntu info I sent you?
05:29grendal_prime4 gigs of ram...it flat out is the bomb
05:30LeefmcWorks fine in a old as hell dvd player at work, but it can't play in modern day ubuntu, argh :o.
05:30grendal_primeeverthing worked on the thing out of the box.
05:30Leefmctritium: I added it already, and installed libdvdcss2
05:30cycomweternal: try installing xserver-xorg-fglrx
05:30tritiumLeefmc: so what's the problem?
05:30weternaldo I have to add that to my repositories?
05:30modem_i got a dell d830 ubuntu works pretty well on it except for the nvidia driver
05:30cycomgrendal_prime: I upgrade to intrepid to get evdev and stuff working right again.  Couldn't be happier.
05:30G3N0cycom: hey do you know how to find out my like driver id... like lspci didnt really show me what i wanteed im looking for my driver like my network card drivers
05:30pazsion no spaces at all cycom or just at dpkg-reconfigure
05:30Reformer81Leefmc: What is the DVD?
05:30Leefmctritium: It doesn't play, as i mentioned ;), but i gatta go to bed. I've spent hours fighting linux tonight haha, cant take anymore
05:30weternalor is that from the ubuntu repositories
05:30cycomweternal: well, search for it first in there.
05:30grendal_primewhat is intrepid?
05:31zzlwhen is Ubuntu Netbook Remix coming out??
05:31Reformer81Leefmc: Is it original or a copy?
05:31cycompazsion: just in dpkg-reconfigure
05:31G3N0grendal_prime: a car by dodge
05:31LeefmcReformer81: Hot Fuzz, i wanted to finish it damnit :(
05:31LeefmcReformer81: Original
05:31tritiumLeefmc: I know what it doesn't do.  What _does_ it do when you try?
05:31Reformer81hmm
05:31Flannelzzl: Its out, just not in the official repos.  There's a PPA for it

05:31grendal_primeahh ok
05:31Reformer81Leefmc: Personally, I've never been able to get Totem to play DVDs.  I've always used VLC for it.
05:31G3N0hey do you know how to find out my like driver id... like lspci didnt really show me what i wanteed im looking for my driver like my network card drivers
05:31grendal_primeim still running gutsy on this thing
05:31Flannelzzl: https://launchpad.net/netbook-remix
05:31cycomG3N0: you have to figure it out based on the output of lspci.  it'll show you the name of the card and stuff.
05:31G3N0okay ty
05:32Leefmctritium: Heh sorry, just tired and being smart. My bad. totem-xine just stalls at the front of the dvd (some dvd legal message, etc)
05:32tritiumG3N0: it hsould
05:32grendal_primeuses nvida drivers..and i simply cannot have this thing down for any amount of time right now.
05:32cycomG3N0: from there you have to do a little googling to find the right drivers, or search in synaptic
05:32weternalit's saying that it couldn't find package
05:32pazsionoh hell yes exactly what i need cycom thank you thank you  THAN YOU
05:32tritiumLeefmc: well, come back tomorrow and we can work through it
05:32cycomLeefmc: did you get medibuntu?
05:32cycompazsion: np dude.
05:32cycompazsion: been in that boat a few times myself :)
05:32Leefmccycom: Yes
05:32cycomI have literally three different laptops running ubuntu.
05:32zzlflannel: you can use it on laptops too right?
05:32cycomLeefmc: did you install libdvdcss?
05:32Reformer81Leefmc: And you install ubuntu-restricted-extras?
05:32LeefmcReformer81: Heh, vlc hasn't done crap the whole time. It just opens up the dvd (it reads the title), then it just stops. No picture ever shown
05:32Flannelzzl: Yep, anywhere actually.
05:33G3N0cycom: 02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN Network Connection (rev 61). where would I look for that? google?
05:33pazsionok now what driver sets would be compatable with fujitsu laptops?
05:33LeefmcReformer81: I got libdvdcss, and iirc i got ubuntu restricted ages ago, but offhand i cant remember
05:33pazsionvideo drivers...
05:33modem_woohoo got my wifi led working
05:33tritiumLeefmc: apt-cache policy ubuntu-restricted-extras, to tell for sure
05:33LeefmcReformer81: Yes i do, after looking.
05:33cycomG3N0: it's an intel card? you sure it's not working already?
05:33weternalhmm so how should I go about getting a driver for the ati 900
=== marbe800 is now known as marbe800_
05:33cycomG3N0: wireless drivers, yeah?
05:33cycomweternal: that's fglrx.
05:33cycomweternal: or radeonHD, though I'm not sure if that's in Hardy.
05:33G3N0cycom: im gonna test it out, like im trying to use kismet and it says i need to fill in the config
05:33cycomweternal: search synaptic for fglrx

05:37Reformer81I use Ubuntu at home for my family desktop.  Is there any way to cause a user to automatically be logged off after a certain time of inactivity?
05:37cycomG3N0: bingo
05:37G3N0cycom: OR? cfg80211               15112  1 iwlwifi_mac80211
05:37cycomok, now what interface is your wireless card?
05:37cycomno, iwl4965 is the driver.
05:37Reformer81AdrianStrays: Take the drive out.  Then reinsert it.  Then type 'dmesg' in the terminal.  The last lines SHOULD say something about the USB drive.
05:38weternaldo I want do disable any other drivers I might have running my video card
05:38G3N0cycom: okay i gotchya. i have no idea its built into mi laptopo
05:38LadySerenaIntel Wireless should be iwi0 or iw0
05:38cycomG3N0: try typing iwconfig
05:38AdrianStraysReformer81: Its not a drive, the laptop has a built in slot for it.
05:38fasttrackhy all, i just found a small and easy hack that makes installing ies4linux more comfortable
05:38sleepsteranyone know when that ubuntu server xen kernel issue will be fixed?
05:38cycomG3N0: the one that doesn't have 'no wireless extensions' is likely the interface.
05:38G3N0cycom: there's 3 of them :o
05:38Reformer81AdrianStrays: But it's actually still a drive (much like a CD-ROM drive or floppy drive... this happens to be a flash drive) :)
05:38cycomLadySerena: mine is wlan0, so you can't really be sure.
05:38cycomG3N0: what are they called?
05:39Reformer81fasttrack: Blog it :)
05:39zzlis there linux that is compatible with microsoft programs without the use of wine??
05:39fasttrackmost users face problem that the installation gets corrupt most of the times. and many get tired restarting it.
05:39G3N0cycom: wlan0    my bad theres only one
05:39LadySerenawireless on my laptop is zyd0
05:39AdrianStraysReformer81: I don't see it as a drive under Computer either.
05:39cycomG3N0: ok, so that's the second section.
05:39Reformer81zzl: Short answer, no.  Long answer, use OpenOffice.org.
05:39fasttrackits nothing great. just a one line bash script
05:39cycomG3N0: the third section is just what you want to call it in kismet
05:39tritiumLadySerena: that doesn't sound like ubuntu.
05:39zzlreformer81:what?
05:39zzlis there linux that is compatible with microsoft programs without the use of wine??
05:39Reformer81AdrianStrays: What did dmesg say?  The last couple lines after you inserted it.
05:39G3N0cycom: whats the first?
05:39zzlsuch as exe files
05:39Reformer81!repeat | zzl

05:39Xcercawhat do i have to install to watch youtube videos ?  flash right , is there anything special for x64 versions ?
05:39cycomG3N0: so figure... source = iwl4965, wlan0, Intel
05:40cycomG3N0: Intel is just a random name I picked.
05:40favro how come I can't profile the boot sequence in hardy like I could in gutsy/feisty/edgy/dapper?
05:40G3N0cycom: and the iwl4965 is what again? (trying to learn)
05:40fasttracki'll paste it here. but i assume most already may have made it for themselves..
05:40cycomG3N0: keep in mind, this will cause your wireless connection to drop.
05:40arrrghhhi have a headless system that is locking up hardcore - won't respond to pings, and every service just stops.  i hook a monitor up to it, and the montior never goes out of low-power mode.  where can i check the problem?  i don't see anything in /var/log/messages
05:40Reformer81zzl: I'm trying to help you.  There are absolutely ZERO Linux distibutions that will run an .EXE file without using wine.
05:40weternalok so I downloaded the fglrs driver
05:40fasttrackzzl: try react os
05:40cycomG3N0: it's the driver for that card. the kernel module.
05:40Reformer81zzl: What are you trying to do?
05:40Flannelarrrghhh: hook up a keyboard and REISUB?
05:40G3N0cycom: im wired at the moment. okay i understand
05:40cycomG3N0: your card is an intel 4965, right?
05:40zzlrun an exe file on linux
05:40G3N0cycom: yeah
05:40cycomG3N0: so it uses a module (driver) named iwl4965.
05:41AdrianStraysReformer81: Something about start kernel and boot options, it doesn't look related.  Also, I noticed further up it said Firefox was "tainted" what does that mean?
05:41weternalhow do I get the driver I installed to work
05:41chuy_maxhey guys, how can I search for files that contain "STRING" using console?
05:41G3N0cycom: i understand thanks for teaching me.. lets see what i else i dont get :)
05:41weternalor is it already working?
05:41z_sudo gedit /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf - can you say something smart about it?
05:41cycomG3N0: My laptop has an Intel 3945, so I use iwl3945. :)
05:41arrrghhhFlannel, well when i power it off and back on, it works great.  no interference by me at all.
05:41hbalintso, can someone help me?
05:41cycomG3N0: no problem dude :) It's why I hang out here.
05:41AdrianStraysRefomer81:Shall I do a paste bin?
05:41fasttrackzzl : use vmware, xen..or those things to boot an windows inmage within linux... or have a look at reactos... make it run in virtualised env
05:41shaozuozhen weternal: restart the X window???
05:41weternalwhat's the x window?
05:42sleepsteranyone know when that ubuntu server xen kernel issue will be fixed?
05:42Reformer81AdrianStrays: No idea.  But yeah, pastebin the last few lines of the dmesg output.  Remember, remove the flash disc and then run dmesg RIGHT AFTER plugging it back in.
05:42LadySerenasleepster, take a look at the mailing lists?
05:42cycomG3N0: at some point you should try to install gentoo (preferably in a virtual machine) to learn a bit more about the Linux Kernel and how modules work.  I suggest it merely because it makes you do most things manually, and teaches you a lot of linux commands the hard (memorable) way.

05:46arrrghhhFlannel, usually takes a while.
05:46hbalintbecause it is strange,m, that the linux can use my card to work with compiz, and get some effects, but
05:46Reformer81weternal: No.  There's no need to get a new card.
05:47Reformer81weternal: You just need to figure out why yours isn't working.  Can you not even start Ubuntu?  Is that the issue?
05:47Flannelarrrghhh: Mmmm, well, if there are no logs being written successfully to disk, you might have to rely on the monitor
05:47weternalno, ubuntu is working fine, I'm just not able to get the visual effects that I'd like from compiz

05:49Reformer81weternal: First, run 'glxgears' in a terminal.  Does that work?
05:50arrrghhhweternal, well depends, but probably dpg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
05:50fasttrackwithout this... its a huge pain to install and restart the installer everytime.... the fact that they already use wget and resumes it..is greatly helpful
05:50pazsionand the touchscrren works this is bad booty
05:50weternalaarrrhg yes the gears work
05:50favroFlannel: thnx - bootchart gives a pic of the boot sequence - normally I press e, down, e  at grub to edit the kernel line and add "profile" at the end to reprofile the boot sequence but in hardys' kernels it doesn't work

05:53fasttrackyeah
05:53fasttrackbut
05:53windio00fasttrack, didnt work
05:53fasttrackit really depends on the app

05:57Flannel!swap | ogzy
05:57ubottuogzy: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info
05:57weternalso would that be in synaptic?
05:58clphow to search keywords "clean_data" and replace it with "cleaned_data" for all .py files in a directory?

05:58chuy_maxclp, use sed
05:58arrrghhhclp, there's a "bulk rename" included with thunar.  or you can do it the cli way, which some find more difficult
05:59clpnot to rename file name,while to replace its content
05:59clpsed, have a try
05:59chuy_maxclp http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sed
05:59arrrghhhah
06:00arrrghhhyes use sed :P
06:00clpthanks
06:00bullgard4Apparently in Gutsy there was an executable program hal-device-manager. What did it replace in Hardy?
06:01joseph_hello
06:01chuy_maxclp, be aware that you have to redirect output to auxiliary files, if you redirect output of sed to the file you are reading from, you will have undesired behavior
06:01bobertdosjoseph_: Hello, how may we help you?

06:09OntologIn Firefox, if I download a file, then right click on the file in the Downloads window and select "Open container folder", I get a dialog the pops up asking me to associate the file with a program. I thought this should open up Gnome's file explorer to the folder the file was saved in.
06:09Forgott3n`_quick question chums, if I ran "# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdb" and hdb was 20GB... Aprox. how long would it take to complete?
06:09bullgard4danbhfive: Unfriendly guy.
06:09Forgott3n`_or how do I check how far along it is?
06:09arrrghhhForgott3n`_, depends on your hardware
06:10Forgott3n`_2.4GHz Intel Celeron D, 1GB Ram
06:10BhaveshForgott3n`_ i just did that the other day.. using bs=1M it took 800 seconds +/-
06:10FlannelForgott3n`_: You might look into shred in the future.
06:10arrrghhhand you needed to probably put a -v or something for verbose :P Forgott3n`_
06:10Scorp_NICK Scorp
06:10Forgott3n`_arrrghhh: dd doesn't have -v
06:10arrrghhhForgott3n`_, no verbose switch?
06:10arrrghhhat all?
06:10zzlhow do i install vmware in kubuntu
06:10Forgott3n`_nope
06:11BhaveshForgott3n`_ it should take about 800 seconds.. 14 mins or so
06:11Forgott3n`_I'm in a install DVD and its complaining about a GPT existing
06:11Forgott3n`_fdisk won't kill it
06:11arrrghhhzzl, there's a open-source edition in the repo's and closed-source binaries on their website.
06:11Forgott3n`_I need to completely nuke this drive before I can continue my installation
06:11arrrghhhzzl, oh sorry i was referring to virtualbox not vmware...
06:12zzlwell, are they the same?
06:12arrrghhhzzl, yes and no.  they do the same thing, but they are far from "the same"
06:12zzlwhich do you prefer?
06:12BhaveshForgott3n`_ you got the right idea.. dd command will work, that's what i ended up doing to two of the drives trying to troubleshoot some installation issue
06:12zzland how do you install
=== die2t is now known as d
06:12arrrghhhzzl, personnally i use virtualbox.  go to virtualbox.org and download a .deb.  easy peasy.
06:13dougbis anyone having problems with full screen video with flash videos, and nvidia graphics cards?
06:13Forgott3n`_Bhavesh: I'm just annoyed that fdisk won't even try to erase a GPT partition table
06:13zzli want to run windows inside kubuntu, that is possible right?
06:13arrrghhhdougb, flash sucks in general, no matter the card.
06:13surgerwhats up
06:13dougbzzl: yes
06:13zzlusing virtualbox
06:13arrrghhhzzl, yes i do it all the time.
06:13dougbarrrghhh: so that's a no?
06:13dougbi mean a yes
06:13Forgott3n`_this box has no CD-ROM Drive... so I'm using thumbdrives to install :P
06:14BhaveshForgott3n`_ sux.. i had other issues, grub wouldn't install, dmraid woudln't work, it worked on another drive installed from same CD
06:14Forgott3n`_linux will be the death of me :)
06:14arrrghhhdougb, yea i have seen choppiness on all sorts of cards/systems.  the windows implementation *seems* to work better, but that doesn't surprise me.  adobe doesn't seem to give a crap about linux.
=== Forgott3n`_ is now known as Forgott3n`
06:14Dillo_of_Faeoheh, I just came back from afk, I though "forgott3n" was some new program I'd never heard of
06:14zzlarrrghhh: so I download the deb package from virtualbox.org, install, and then i install windows in the virtualbox?
06:14zzlarrrghhh: sorry for bugging you lots
06:14Ayabaradoes aticonfig alter other things than xorg.conf?
06:15ajhtiredwolfzzl,  did you install the oes version already?
06:15arrrghhhzzl, essentially.  i'd read the documentation on their site, it's very good.
06:15BhaveshDillo_of_Faeo wb ;)
06:15Freddany where i could find a driver for lexmark x2580?
06:15dougbyeah arrrghhh, i was basically checking to see if they've fixed the problem yet
06:15dougbguess not
06:15kangyulI have a question, I want to use vlc player to open the address:udp://@[ff18::0101:4]:8000, but it hints that: the firefox was not associated with any applications, I want to know how to deal with this.
06:16arrrghhhdougb, i keep hoping gnash or something like that (open-source) will get better, but it's sloooow progress.
06:16axisr9if my laptop runs linux, and is connected to a wireless access point using its built in wireless card.. is it possible to bridge the laptops NETWORK CARD (eth0) with the wireless card so that i can plug in a cat5 cable in my laptops eth0 port and then run it into a router in my bedroom? the router would feed into a desktop machine.
06:16arrrghhhkangyul, well open the stream with vlc, not firefox...
06:16axisr9so i just want to be able to bridge the wireless card and the network card in the laptop, running ubuntu linux
06:16ogzyİ was checking the files of an icon theme and wondering which one is the picture of the gnome startup icon
06:16bullgard4Where can I find a manual for hal-device?
06:16axisr9so that the eth0 port will have internet as well
06:16zzlarrrghhh: one more question,virtualbox almost has the same functionality as wine and can browse the internet in virtualbox as well?
06:17arrrghhhaxisr9, stealing wifi and sharing it with a desktop?  lol
06:17axisr9no the wireless router is downstairs
06:17arrrghhhzzl, wine is COMPLETELY different.
06:17axisr9i cant run a cat5 cable upstairs
06:17chuy_maxaxisr9, never tried it with a router, but you can with a desktop directly connected to the laptop
06:17axisr9so i use my laptop to get online from the bedroom
06:17Bhaveshaxisr9 basically you want to make your laptop to act like a gateway for your desktop
06:17kangyularrrghhh: can you tell me how to do? Thanks
06:17axisr9Bhavesh yea, i run windows xp on the laptop and it works just fine. I go into network connections, and i highlight the wireless and the network card and i right click and click 'BRIDGE'
06:18axisr9and it works instantly
06:18axisr9but i want to do that in linux
06:18chuy_maxaxisr9, you need a crossed utp5
06:18Forgott3n`dum de duumm deee
06:18Forgott3n`dd working away
06:18arrrghhhkangyul, uh open vlc, click file -> open stream, put in the credentials.
06:18Forgott3n`I didn't set the bs= to anything
06:18Bhaveshaxisr9 it's not too complicated, listen to chuy_max
06:18Realcoolguycharging pin on my laptop, completely destroyed and useless :(
06:18Forgott3n`will that hinder the speed?
06:19BhaveshForgott3n` i don't know what all the options means i just copied command from internet but it did zero out the drive
06:19ogzyi mean the ubuntu logo that is at the tray that we click and see the menu, i am trying to put another pic instead of that logo, how can i do it?
06:19joeKrReminds me of a comedian I heard: "The internet is down at my house. I think my neighbor forgot to pay his cable bill. That's so inconsiderate of him."
06:19chuy_maxlol
06:19BhaveshjoeKr heheh good one
06:19arrrghhhso if this box locks up again, what should i check when it reboots?  /var/log/messages had no errors when i checked it after the last lockup.
06:19axisr9i dont need any cables or anything. i just want it so that the eth0 port will share the wireless internet
06:19axisr9so if i plug something in the eth0 port
06:19axisr9it will work like it does in windows
06:19axisr9i have any/all necessary cables in my room
06:20bazhang!ics
06:20ubottuIf you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php
06:20weternaloh hey so thanks I got it working
06:20arrrghhhaxisr9, remember linux is not windows, so don't expect it "to work like it does windows"
06:20weternalcompiz
06:20axisr9arrrghhh i know
06:20Bhaveshaxisr9 normally when you connect 2 ethernet devices , you need a cross over cable
06:20Dillo_of_Faeo!alsa
06:20Bhavesharr i mean NIC
06:20ubottuIf you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
06:20arrrghhhaxisr9, and i was gonna suggest firestarter lol
06:20axisr9but this isnt two nics

06:20ubottuSorry, I don't know anything about bring me a cake

06:21joeKrAny printer wizards about? On Ubuntu 8.04 I've installed a Panasonic KX-P4400 (It recommended an HP LaserJet 2 driver) and when I print, it's busy for 3 seconds, the job shows complete, all looks good, but nothing ever comes out. Printer remains silent. Test pages are the same. Print to PDF file is working. Any Ideas?
06:21bazhangDillo_of_Faeo, please /msg ubottu for fun if you wish
06:21axisr9i just want the wireless card built into the laptop to share the internet with the network card built into the laptop
06:21Bhaveshaxisr9 here's how it would look WirelessAP -> laptop -> desktop
06:21axisr9ok
06:22Bhaveshaxisr9 so wireless AP -> laptop (wireless) from laptop -> desktop wired connection
06:22
