[04:52] <ubuntu1098765432> radeon 9600 ATI, ,Yes, I have seen that, and that is what started it... The last link in that doc, command did not work "no known command"
[04:52] <shahjinn> it gives error that it could not find
[04:52] <shahjinn> may be i have to insert cd ?
[04:52] <Ahadiel> What driver would I use for an intel GMA945? i16--something something, or intel?
[04:52] <Ahadiel> I switched to intel, and now video playback crashes, but Compiz Fusion works fine
[04:52] <Pelo> Ahadiel,  on my comp effects and video donT' realy agree with eachother,  but you might try asking in #ubuntu-effects they might know
[04:52] <Ahadiel> kk
[04:52] <drocko> JBandP : since java requires a license you have to do some special steps to get it installed for ubuntu. Have you googled for this? there should be a step by step guide
[04:52] <drocko> JBandP : i also think the bot has a link to it.
[04:52] <shahjinn> any one ?
[04:52] <royel> JBandP: Seems there is an additional step needed, IIRC, let me google a bit
[04:53] <milllmannn> AAAHHHH!
[04:53] <eboyjr> shahjinn: Try "sudo apt-get update"
[04:53] <JBandP> i went here and followed the first step https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java
[04:53] <shahjinn> k
[04:53] <drocko> JBandP : how did that go for you?
[04:53] <milllmannn> what is the command to list all user groups?
[04:53] <Pelo> shahjinn,  incert cd,  apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[04:53] <IntuitiveNipple> JBandP: I suspect you need to install the web-browser java plugin: "sudo apt-get install sun-java5-plugin"
[04:54] <hieriseinfahckei> i have a problem i can login in konsole but not on hdm and cups...
[04:54] <hieriseinfahckei> gdm not hdm

[04:54] <royel> JBandP: Firefox is your browser?
[04:54] <Ahadiel> Pelo, Any ideas?
[04:54] <JBandP> yes, firefox.
[04:54] <IntuitiveNipple> JBandP: and then restart the Firefox
[04:54] <Pelo> Ahadiel,  no that's why I suggest asking in #ubuntu-effects  they know about this stuff
[04:54] <royel> JBandP: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-198.html
[04:54] <JBandP> im doing what intuitiven suggested now
[04:54] <ubuntu1098765432> I have a laptop, wider screen, radeon 9600, administration>restricted drivers> ATI accelerated driver::: Did not enable b/c when I did previously I still can't get above 1240X768:: Here is what crashed my system...

[04:54] <JBandP> checking that link too
[04:55] <hieriseinfahckei> can somone say me how can i log in in gdm and cups with the pass: l%!057 ?
[04:55] <royel> JBandP: IntuitiveNipple may be correct as well, I been drinking an my advice is probably questionable at this time :)
[04:55] <hieriseinfahckei> it dont accept the pass..
[04:55] <gravemind> hey can you guys help me with hibernate? Every time I try, it says some program is accessing the hardware directly
[04:55] <Pelo> ubuntu1098765432, search for ati resolution in the forum, I'm sure there is something in there
[04:56] <hieriseinfahckei> only on konsole
[04:56] <drocko> gravemind : are you running anything special? have you tried to hibernate after just starting up?
[04:56] <Pelo> gravemind, when you hibernate it is my understanding that your ram gets cached to the hdd, which would expalin the progs accessing hardware directly
[04:57] <ubuntu1098765432> ok I'll look at that now. BRB
[04:57] <gravemind> drocko: I can try that :)
[04:57] <ChrisF-> I have an external hard drive formatted as NTFS with a bunch of files on it I'd like to work with.  I can read it just fine when I plug it in but I can't write to it.  Any way of making it writable as my regular user "chris" ?
[04:57] <gravemind> Pelo: yeah but it does that forever
[04:57] <Pelo> !ntfs-3g | ChrisF-
[04:57] <ubotu> ChrisF-: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[04:57] <IntuitiveNipple> hibernate should take about a minute
[04:57] <ph4mp573r> Can someone tell me the major advantages of Ubuntu over Sabayon
[04:57] <kkek> this probably isnt a ubuntu specific question, but I'm trying to write an app that reads through the system logs (/var/log/messages), and the manpage mentions a severity level... is there a way to get this severity level included in the log files?
[04:58] <Pelo> gravemind,  that was my best quess, maybe someone else knows
[04:58] <drocko> gravemind : that might be a good start. i haven't had problems hibernating my laptop but if you have specific hardware it may make this difficult
[04:58] <royel> ph4mp573r: apt-get is not enough?
[04:58] <drocko> ph4mp573r : ubuntu begins and ends with the same letter. this makes it faster because of symmetry
[04:58] <IntuitiveNipple> gravemind: What make/model of PC?
[04:58] <gravemind> drocko: this is a desktop but I can't think of anything that would be stopping it
[04:58] <Pelo> ph4mp573r, this isn'T realy a comparison channel,  try them both,  ubuntu as some great repos and package management , I don'T know about sabayon
[04:58] <gravemind> IntuitiveNipple: built it myself
[04:58] <ph4mp573r> royel, no. and lol @ drocko
[04:58] <hieriseinfahckei> kubuntu is a problerm than ^^
[04:58] <IntuitiveNipple> gravemind: uh-oh :p
[04:59] <drocko> gravemind : i don't know for sure, but let's think of things that directly access the hardware. accelerated video cards maybe?
[04:59] <gravemind> IntuitiveNipple: lol, nothing exotic
[04:59] <ChrisF-> thanks!
[04:59] <royel> ph4mp573r: well, honestly, what Pelo said.
[04:59] <IntuitiveNipple> gravemind: what Mobo / CPU ?
[04:59] <mttr> taken me forever to download sabayon,, torrent is very slow these days
[04:59] <drocko> gravemind I would try it right after a system startup. if it doesn't work check out what modules you have loaded in the kernel and what programs are running on  the system.
[05:00] <gravemind> IntuitiveNipple: AMD 64, esus mobo, nvidia graphics, and the wireless card might be affecting it too
[05:00] <gravemind> drocko: I'll do a restart and check
[05:00] <gravemind> too bad it won't tell me which program is to blame
[05:01] <IntuitiveNipple> gravemind: Can you post a bug at launchpad and tell me the bug #, and I'll follow-up on it over the next few days. We need some detailed info to help you, and it is 4am here and waaaay past my bedtime
[05:01] <malocite> what command do you type to see what modules are loaded in your kernel right now?
[05:01] <drocko> gravemind : you will figure it out! it may take some patience though
[05:01] <eboyjr> Anyone here have 3D Glasses (The red and blue kind)? This isn't really offtopic
[05:01] <drocko> malocite : lsmod
[05:01] <Flannel> malocite: lsmod
[05:01] <malocite> tx
[05:01] <ChrisF-> Pelo: I just installed that ntfs driver but I still can't write to that external drive called /media/Maxtor.  It just says to me, "You do not have permission to write to that folder."
[05:01] <gravemind> IntuitiveNipple: alright I'll do it. Do you know of any logs that might help?
[05:01] <malocite> has anyone been able to get their remote working with lirc?
[05:02] <Flannel> eboyjr: alright, I'll bite.  Yes, I do.
[05:02] <drocko> ChrisF- : did you mount the disk with the ro option?
[05:02] <flamesrock> Hi, I have a problem
[05:02] <ChrisF-> it just mounts automatically when I plug it in
[05:02] <royel> malocite: that thread didn't offer any help?
[05:02] <flamesrock> wondering if anyone could help?
[05:02] <malocite> well
[05:02] <drocko> flamesrock : just ask
[05:02] <eboyjr> Flannel: http://forum.compiz.org/viewtopic.php?t=1559 I posted it.
[05:02] <IntuitiveNipple> gravemind: Yes, read this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies
[05:02] <drocko> flamesrock : we all have lots of problems
[05:02] <flamesrock> my lan has wpa-psk
[05:02] <eboyjr> Flannel: Its a sweet idea I think.
[05:02] <flamesrock> but ubuntu doesn't work with it
[05:02] <malocite> royel: well, I did what it said, but it still gives em the same result
[05:03] <malocite> I'm wondering if I am missing something fundemental to the process, being so new to linux
[05:03] <flamesrock> kubuntu to be specific
[05:03] <Flannel> eboyjr: actually, I was thinking about looking into creating this sort of thing too.  Glad someone else already did.
[05:03] <malocite> something that is just taken for granted by others
[05:03] <royel> malocite: I'm sorry, wish I could offer more help, but I just don't have any experience with that.
[05:03] <eboyjr> Flannel: Did that picture below pop out?
[05:03] <drocko> flamesrock : oh boy. don't know much about that. have you done any googling on this matter?
[05:03] <IntuitiveNipple> gravemind: start the bug now, then attach what is required later... that way I can grab the bug # and subscribe myself to it
[05:03] <eboyjr> Flannel: 'Casue I made it with The GIMP.
[05:03] <Optimus55> hey does anyone know how to restore beryl original settings from cli?
[05:03] <flamesrock> didn't find any solutions
[05:03] <gravemind> ok
[05:04] <Falstius> malocite: does it work with xev?
[05:04] <Optimus55> or at least set renderer back to autodetect?
[05:04] <IntuitiveNipple> gravemind: Then I can go to bed :)
[05:04] <malocite> falstius: Don't knwo what that is
[05:04] <Pelo> malocite, the only advice I can give you is , review the process , make sure you didn'T miss anything,  then google google google,  and check the forum
[05:04] <kkek> i'm trying to write an app that reads through and reports on information in /var/log/messages ... is there a way to configure the system logger to include the severity of messages in the logfile?
[05:04] <drocko> Optimus55 : delete the beryl folder from your home directory. find it with this: ls -la ~ | grep beryl
[05:04] <gravemind> IntuitiveNipple: do you know the exact url?
[05:05] <riotkittie> anyone know offhand how to change the keyboard layout for the logon screen (TTYs are fine, and once I've logged into GNOME, it's fine... but the logon screen is demanding qwerty :o
[05:05] <Pelo> kkek,  ##linux might be a better place to ask
[05:05] <Flannel> eboyjr: It did.  Oh, someone hasn't made it a plugin yet?  pity
[05:05] <IntuitiveNipple> kkek: look into syslog filters
[05:05] <Falstius> malocite: run xev in a terminal, it will open up a window.  When you click buttons on the remote you should see messages in the terminal describing what you hit.  If that doesn't work it will be a lot more difficult to get your device working.

[05:13] <tonyyarusso> PleaseHelpUbuntu: do you know what formatting it has now?
[05:13] <tonyyarusso> PleaseHelpUbuntu: Define "recognizes"
[05:13] <riotkittie> PleaseHelpUbuntu: do you have any idea what file system the drive's formatted as right now? NTFS?
[05:13] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> no sir i don't
[05:13] <JBandP> arl@cpe-071-070-229-076.nc.res.rr.com  <-- what is this form of identificion called?
[05:14] <royel> ] RandoM[: you have ssh running on the desktop
[05:14] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> when i open it there is a folder called system volume information that's it
[05:14] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> and that came with the hard drive
[05:14] <Jusnetworx> it is probably FAT32
[05:14] <gcarrillo> \X/
[05:14] <Pelo> PleaseHelpUbuntu,  I think that is a fat32  hdd
[05:15] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> i have the box...it doesn't list linux as supported, it has windows and mac o's but i think it should work?
[05:15] <tonyyarusso> JBandP: nickmask
[05:15] <Falstius> Jusnetworx: Pelo: PleaseHelpUbuntu: probably ntfs, especially at 500GB
[05:15] <riotkittie> 500gb of FAT32? <puke>
[05:15] <tonyyarusso> I thought the ntfs limit was 137 gig
[05:15] <JBandP> tonyyaruss: can i fake that?
[05:15] <tonyyarusso> JBandP: You can get a !cloak
[05:15] <tonyyarusso> from network staff
[05:15] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> says SATA HDD
[05:15] <Jusnetworx> NTFS limit is like 2TB
[05:15] <JBandP> network staff a site?
[05:16] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> does that help?
[05:16] <Falstius> tonyyarusso: don't think so, not with the newer NTFS, I have 250GB on one drive.  System Volume Information is a windows thing, not fat32 or ntfs.
[05:16] <riotkittie> no. ntfs can go on and on.  my drive was 400gb NTFS before i broke it into 5 partitions
[05:16] <tonyyarusso> JBandP: No, I mean the Freenode staffers.  /whois me to see what I mean.
[05:16] <tonyyarusso> Falstius: ah
[05:16] <Pelo> PleaseHelpUbuntu,   type gparted in the terminal, select the proper hdd from the drop down list on the far right and the list below will display the partitons with information
[05:16] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> Rock Mobile disk...3.5 mobile disk sata hdd
[05:16] <riotkittie> PleaseHelpUbuntu: what do you want to do with the drive? strictly Linux? share data between Linux and Win?
[05:16] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> i would like to be able to use it between windows and linux
[05:16] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> if that's possible
[05:16] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> i wanna store music and video on it
[05:17] <Jusnetworx> use FAT32 or NTFS then
[05:17] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> im just not sure how i would make it NTFS or FAT32...as of right now i cannot paste or copy files to it
[05:17] <tonyyarusso> Or Ext2/3 with fs-driver.or
[05:17] <tonyyarusso> g
[05:17] <JBandP> tonyyaruss: so it only works on freenode?
[05:17] <riotkittie> if youre just storing, NTFS is fine but you wont be able to write to that by default from linux (you can enable that but some people warn against it as it's still beta...)
[05:18] <tonyyarusso> JBandP: right
[05:18] <tonyyarusso> JBandP: the other option would be GPGTor
[05:18] <riotkittie> PleaseHelpUbuntu: open a term, type gparted ... bring up the partition editor, and it will tell you what the file system is

[05:18] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> unfortunately that's over my head..ok i'll open the terminal give me one sec
[05:18] <docmur> I just download tvtime for my tunner and go this error in the shell
[05:18] <docmur> Message from syslogd@ubuntu at Wed Jul 25 23:12:12 2007 ...
[05:18] <docmur> ubuntu kernel: [ 4309.320787]  Disabling IRQ #20
[05:18] <docmur> what does it mean
[05:19] <JBandP> GPGTor
[05:19] <riotkittie> brb
[05:19] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> i just type gparted that's all?
[05:19] <vas> hey in /var/log I have versions of syslog like syslog.0 and syslog.1.gz syslog.2.gz ... whats the difference in them all
[05:20] <Falstius> riotkittie: PleaseHelpUbuntu: if the harddrive is plugged in, just type mount.  Look for a line that matches your harddrive.  that will say ntfs in it somewhere.
[05:20] <bullgard4> Tracker Search Tool: How to delimit a search string that is longer than one word? (" or ' does not function. They return hits for the single words of the search string.)
[05:20] <gcarrillo> vas: time?
[05:20] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> anyone willing to pm me and walk me through this...i would really appreciate it
[05:20] <Falstius> PleaseHelpUbuntu: use mount to find the filesystem type (gparted can probably lie, it looks at something else)
[05:20] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> do i just type mount in the terminal?
[05:20] <vas> gcarrillo: nah it goes 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 to 5... not chronoligically written numbers
[05:21] <Falstius> PleaseHelpUbuntu: yep.  Then look for a line that matches the name of your USB drive.
[05:21] <vas> gcarrillo: like times of the day or anything
[05:21] <gcarrillo> yeah but if u unzip and check timestamp
[05:21] <gcarrillo> i think either the highest num or lowest will be most recent
[05:21] <vas> I hope its the lowest number and the ones w/ higher numbers are ancient cuz I am using the one w/out the number at the end
[05:21] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> i'll paste it online and send you guys a link if that's ok
[05:21] <vas> just plain syslog
[05:22] <riotkittie> oh dear. this is going to be a huge pain. brb.
[05:22] <gcarrillo> yeah plain syslog with no zip will be newest
[05:22] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31354/
[05:22] <vas> aya
[05:22] <vas> thnx
[05:22] <vas> peace
[05:22] <gcarrillo> np
[05:22] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> that's what i got when i typed mount
[05:22] <ari_stress> hello, where is apache DocRoot in Ubuntu?
[05:23] <JBandP> so if im banned from a java applet IRC channel- am i screwed or is there something that i can do with ubuntu to get in?
[05:23] <Falstius> PleaseHelpUbuntu: the last line that says /dev/sda5 on /media/disk type ntfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,umask=222,utf8) tells us that your harddrive is /dev/sda5, mounted at /media/disk and is of type NTFS
[05:23] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> oh ok i see
[05:24] <tonyyarusso> JBandP: You should wait out the time of the ban or contact the operators of the channel to discuss.  Forcing in would be ban evasion, and can result in a total network ban (so from here as well).
[05:24] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> is there anything i need to do with this piece of information?
[05:24] <Falstius> PleaseHelpUbuntu: to get read-write support you need to install ntfs-3g and ntfs-config, then use ntfs-config to tell ubuntu to mount ntfs drives with ntfs-3g ..
[05:24] <Falstius> PleaseHelpUbuntu: do you need more detail than that?
[05:24] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> oh wow...that seems really complicated to me
[05:24] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> im new to linux
[05:24] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> an absolute beginner to be honest
[05:24] <JBandP> man: the bastards ban me every time i try to talk to them about banning me.  it's impossible. i guess im just screwed :(
[05:25] <Falstius> PleaseHelpUbuntu: it is not as bad as it looks.  On the terminal, type sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g ntfs-config
[05:25] <Falstius> PleaseHelpUbuntu: it will ask if you want to install a few other packages, say yes.
[05:25] <ironfroggy> Over the last week or so, I've had a few ocassions where something has caused my root fs to get remounted read-only. How can I try to find out what is causing it?
[05:25] <phax> Hi guys, anyone knows the package name for guile-oops for Fiesta ?
[05:25] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> it asked for a password with sudo...isn't that weird?
[05:25] <kercyr> I just upgraded to Feisty and had to add 'irqpoll' to the arguments passed to the kernel to get it to come up.  I didn't need to do this for the earlier version.  Can anyone say what broke and why this fixes it?
[05:26] <Falstius> PleaseHelpUbuntu: not at all, it should.  Just enter your normal password.
[05:26] <DisabledDuck> for some reason, when using Serpentine to burn an audio CD, the songs come out very distorted and won't work in a CD burner

[05:26] <royel> phax: apt-cache search
[05:27] <zerokill88> anyone have a link for how to change the splash screen and login prompt for feisty???
[05:27] <Falstius> PleaseHelpUbuntu: when it finishes (in a few seconds), type sudo ntfs-config     it will open a window asking you if you want to enable read-write support for internal and external drives.  Just click the boxes and hit okay.
[05:27] <pancakeface> im looking for help regarding an inactive swap partition that i can't seem to activate
[05:27] <phax> royel coult not find anything in it, but google resulted in some results, but the Ubuntu package URLs were 404
[05:27] <Flannel> zerokill88: login prompt is done through admin > login screen settings
[05:27] <Flannel> !swap | pancakeface
[05:27] <ubotu> pancakeface: 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
[05:27] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> and that's it?
[05:27] <zerokill88> Flannel ok, how bout splash?
[05:27] <Falstius> PleaseHelpUbuntu: thats it.  Told you it was easier than it sounded :)
[05:28] <pancakeface> yeah, but my swap is broke, it won't work
[05:28] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> haha you the man, wow, thank you so much

[05:29] <Flannel> scotty: don't use tasksel, just use regular package management
[05:29] <phax> royel, doesn't show up there
[05:29] <Falstius> PleaseHelpUbuntu: oh ... well, on my system it only takes a few seconds.
[05:29] <scotty> Flannel: I already gave the command ... how can I get out of it?
[05:29] <scotty> oh
[05:29] <zerokill88> Flannel ty
[05:29] <scotty> wait
[05:29] <scotty> Now it's going

[05:29] <Falstius> PleaseHelpUbuntu: what?
[05:30] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> sorry i was using tovid to make a dvd...it's authoring or something like that
[05:30] <DisabledDuck> does anybody know why when i burn an audio CD, the music comes out nothing but static?
[05:30] <Falstius> PleaseHelpUbuntu: oh yeah, that would definitely slow things down.
[05:30] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> i had it running in the background...i think that's what's doing it
[05:30] <phax> royel, yeah its not there, its called guile-oops or goops
[05:31] <phax> royel,  but its here though http://packages.ubuntu.com/warty/source/guile-oops
[05:31] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> i see am@am-laptop:~$...does that mean it's finished?
[05:31] <Falstius> PleaseHelpUbuntu: yep, now sudo ntfs-config
[05:31] <phax> royel, its there for the warty but not for feisty, any way to install it in on feisty
[05:32] <thinlace> can someone help me, i am still getting a blue tint in my videos (Totem) using ATI's proprietary drivers on my T60p
[05:32] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> i get an error

[05:32] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> ** (ntfs-config:20146): WARNING **: Error : This programm need to be run as root
[05:32] <Falstius> PleaseHelpUbuntu: thats why you need to use sudo
[05:33] <Optimus55> does anyone know how to get beryl back to all defaults?
[05:33] <pancakeface> thx for help
[05:33] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> ohh got it...do i enable write support for external device?
[05:33] <Optimus55> i changed the render platform and now it freezes once i load it
[05:33] <Falstius> PleaseHelpUbuntu: yep,  And internal if you want.
[05:33] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> won't let me select internal...
[05:33] <royel> phax: might have to compile if theres no build for it
[05:34] <Falstius> PleaseHelpUbuntu: probably because you don't have any.  I have 1 so I could select it.
[05:34] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> ahh that would make sense
[05:34] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> so that's it?
[05:34] <crazycraig> help me someone....
[05:34] <phax> royel, thansk, is there a way to download source tar.gz and install it as a Ubuntu package so it remains in the installed packages maintained database ?
[05:34] <allbert> sweechay
[05:35] <crazycraig> i got my penis stuck in the floppy drive...the eject button only makes it worse
[05:35] <royel> phax: I can't say, maybe someone else can help there, I would hate to guess.

[05:36] <xnix> ive tried making fstab entries using auto,user,rw etc and it never seems to mount anything at bootup that i want

[05:41] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> Falstius if i may ask one last question, is there a safe way i need to shut down my external hard drive in ubuntu or do i simply turn it off?
[05:41] <Jordan_U> PleaseHelpUbuntu, Unmount it first
[05:42] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> how would i do that?
[05:42] <BSDaemon> PleaseHelpUbuntu: always unmount your drives , else you may corrupt your data. Unmounting it makes sure that all pending writes are finished
[05:42] <JBandP> guys, im trying to connect to a share on my ubuntu machine from a mac and windows and both are asking me for a username/password that i do not know.  even the root p/w isnt working.
[05:42] <rb2> Hi everyone. My first time trying Ubuntu (long time linux fan).. dare I ask a question about NVIDIA drivers? I've been searching the forums and can't find a thread with my exact problem.
[05:42] <BSDaemon> PleaseHelpUbuntu: you should be able to right-click the drive and select "unmount drive"
[05:42] <Jordan_U> PleaseHelpUbuntu, From nautilus right click and go to eject IIRC and from the terminal sudo umount /media/mountpoint
[05:42] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> ok wonderful, thank you again
[05:43] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> im off to enjoy 500gb's
[05:43] <BSDaemon> PleaseHelpUbuntu: oh yeah , depending on your desktop it'll say "unmount" or "eject" , same thing
[05:43] <thinlace> no ideas on the blue tint problem for video?
[05:43] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> i see it...mine says unmount volume
[05:43] <Jordan_U> thinlace, ATI card?
[05:43] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> cool, im pumped
[05:44] <JBandP> can anyone help?
[05:44] <JBandP> its driving me f'n mad
[05:44] <royel> JBandP: samba requires additional setup, make sure you've got users set up with Samba
[05:44] <JBandP> im pretty sure i do
[05:44] <mofmog> anyone know what i should do?
[05:45] <JBandP> smb.conf file?
[05:45] <mofmog> xserv refuses to work
[05:45] <Jordan_U> thinlace, ATI card?
[05:45] <rb2> Instead of the "black screen problem", my monitor goes into PowerSave mode right before the login prompt comes up.
[05:45] <royel> JBandP: yes
[05:45] <Jordan_U> mofmog, Did it ever work on your comp?
[05:45] <mofmog> nope
[05:45] <JBandP> how on earth is my p/w wrong? i just used it on the machine and its fine..
[05:45] <JBandP> on the ubuntu machine i should say
[05:45] <Jordan_U> mofmog, What GFX card?
[05:46] <mofmog> im using intel's integrated x3100 so might that be the problem?
[05:46] <mofmog> it's a dell 1420 btw
[05:46] <mofmog> not an n
[05:46] <Jordan_U> mofmog, Intel's cards should be very well supported
[05:46] <mofmog> hmm
[05:46] <xnix> royel: alright, i got it to work that time, thanks a bunch, i think i just had the path wrong

[05:47] <hamadooo> what is the diffrence between add remove program and synaptic package ?????
[05:47] <BSDaemon> JBandP: if I recall *way* back when I set up my old Samba server , it has its own user database. You have to add users to it
[05:47] <Jordan_U> mofmog, Can you pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[05:47] <Jordan_U> hamadooo, Only the interface
[05:47] <hamadooo> i found the same programs on them ??
[05:47] <mofmog> how do i do that?
[05:47] <JBandP> user db?  i have a user settings section. wheere i have root showing and my personal account
[05:48] <Jordan_U> hamadooo, Synaptic shows all packages including libraries, Add / Remove just shows GUI apps and might just show a subset of those
[05:48] <mofmog> i just tried reinstalling xserver let's see if that works
[05:48] <hamadooo> oh ok ... thanxx
[05:48] <Jordan_U> !paste | mofmog
[05:48] <ubotu> mofmog: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[05:48] <BSDaemon> JBandP: I just msg'd you with a URL to a page that may help with your problem , hope that's ok
[05:49] <JBandP> thats great!  but i dont see the message,
[05:49] <Jordan_U> BSDaemon, Are you registered?
[05:49] <BSDaemon> JBandP: haha ok , I'm not sure the etiquette on pasting in channel but http://www.comptechdoc.org/os/linux/manual4/sambausers.html
[05:50] <BSDaemon> Jordan_U: I was loooong ago but I don't remember my nick password
[05:50] <Jordan_U> BSDaemon, Pasting short links is fine
[05:50] <JBandP> also, i cant log in as root because it's saying my p/w is inccorect. yet, when i sudo something and it asks for a password my p/w works.. what gives?
[05:50] <musikgoat|laptop> hello all, trying to upgrade server to feisty from edgy from dapper.   got edgy in, changed sources.list, ran update, installed update-manager-core, and tried running do-release-upgrade and got "current dist not found in meta-release file, No new release found"
[05:50] <Jordan_U> BSDaemon, You need to be registered and identified to send people PM's on Freenode
[05:50] <BSDaemon> JBandP: Samba doesn't use the standard system user/password database
[05:50] <pedro> after checking all possibilities such as speakers, switches in alsa and even running alsamixer, i still dont have really strong sound... i have a great sound card and thx sound system, but i have to crank them both up to get good sound. is there anything else i can do?
[05:50] <BSDaemon> Jordan_U: ahhhh, that's a good idea
[05:50] <Nulifier> JbandP : that is because your sudo password is your user password and root has no password
[05:51] <mofmog> how do i access xorg.conf? im really new to this
[05:51] <rb2> JBand: By default, root is not allowed to login.
[05:51] <Nulifier> mofmog : /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:51] <pedro> mofmog: sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:51] <JBandP> ah, i see that now.
[05:51] <mofmog> and how do i get that onto pastebin from another computer?
[05:52] <JBandP> it does not have an account for security purposes.
[05:52] <JBandP> thats fine. i just need to connect to m friggin' share that all.s
[05:52] <pedro> mofmog: select all, copy, then paste to pastebin.com
[05:52] <Jordan_U> pedro, No X :(
[05:52] <mofmog> but... it's on a laptop that doesnt have xserver working at all
[05:52] <Jordan_U> mofmog, Do you have a thumb drive?
[05:52] <mofmog> yes
[05:53] <musikgoat|laptop> updating to feisty server, from edgy,  running do-release-upgrade and got "current dist not found in meta-release file, No new release found"  any suggestions?
[05:53] <mofmog> pedro: i'm trying to gedit it but it says "cannot open display"
[05:53] <Jordan_U> mofmog, You can transfer the file to it but since it is easier to reconfigure X let's try that first.
[05:54] <mofmog> ok
[05:54] <thinlace> jordan_u yes
[05:54] <Jordan_U> mofmog, Do you have the -intel driver installed?
[05:54] <pedro> mofmog: yeah, i told ya wrong on accounta i didnt know you didnt have an X session
[05:54] <Jordan_U> thinlace, It is a problem with the drivers, you can fix it by turning off hardware overlay for video, but that will take more CPU unless you are running Beryl / Compiz
[05:54] <mofmog> i dont know

[05:55] <Jordan_U> mofmog, run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh" and choose "i810" when asked for the driver ( or intel if it is there )
[05:55] <diafic> m87, TELL US WHAT IS WRONG THEN
[05:55] <thinlace> jordan_u how do i turn off hardware overlay? btw i noticed its not a problem in the app Avidemux, only Totem.. also, does ATI's drivers support Comipz/Beryl?
[05:55] <pedro> diafic: o.O
[05:55] <diafic> just going "halp" won't help

[05:57] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> hi, i wanted to know if there is like a disc cleanup in ubuntu...i know that windows had defrag, is there anything similar that cleans up your system or makes it run smoother...sorry if it's a bad q's
[05:57] <Jordan_U> mofmog, Ok, not try "startx"
[05:57] <kitche> PleaseHelpUbuntu: well ext doesn't really need defraging
[05:57] <Sir_Funk> Not particularly worried about the security of my Nethack account :)
[05:57] <mofmog> what?
[05:57] <Jordan_U> Sir_Brizz, ;)
[05:58] <mofmog> i have to choose a video mode (resolution) i can just choose any?
[05:58] <mofmog> doesnt matter?
[05:58] <BSDaemon> PleaseHelpUbuntu: linux filesystems tend to not have the same troubles as FAT filesystems, defragging isn't the same issue. I have seen very very dangerous apps that will defrag , but even the author says "This may destroy all your data"

[05:58] <Sir_Funk> But is there some sort of scripting thing I can research to automate the login?
[05:58] <JBandP> is there info on drivers for wireless cards?
[05:58] <Jordan_U> mofmog, Choose what you know is the native rez or just keep the low defaults that work on anything, we will fix resolution later
[05:59] <Jordan_U> !wireless | JBandP

[06:00] <goodtod> i'm having problems with UUID, i'm sure I have the right UUID in fstab but when I run fsck -C -R -A -a I get "Failed to open the device 'UUID=xxxxx'", anyone have an idea?
[06:00] <Sir_Funk> Jack_: I'm trying to automate the issuing of commands for me to telnet to a nethack server and then issue the commands to login
[06:00] <Jordan_U> thinlace, run "gstremer-properties" and in the video tab choose the driver with "no xv"
[06:00] <Jack_Sparrow> Sir_Funk: Ok, just checking,
[06:00] <Sir_Funk> :)
[06:00] <musikgoat|laptop> any suggestions for me?   edgy server to feisty server, running do-release-upgrade and got "current dist not found in meta-release file, No new release found"
[06:00] <musikgoat|laptop> i've been searching with no luck
[06:01] <pedro> thinlace: ubuntuguide had the most thorough tutorial for getting beryl to work with ati... i followed it many times and was successful every time
[06:01] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> r there any guides out there for beginners to ubuntu? i would really like to read up on commands and how to use this OS a little better
[06:01] <thinlace> jordan_u ok i tried the no xv and it didn't change the blue tint...
[06:01] <zerokill88> whats that website wtih themes, is it gnome-looks.org?
[06:01] <Jordan_U> thinlace, But it is a hack to use XGL ( which is required to work on top of the hack that is fglrx :)
[06:02] <BSDaemon> musikgoat|laptop: have you changed your apt-sources file?
[06:02] <mofmog> how the heck does it have no screens
[06:02] <pedro> pleasehelpubuntu: ubuntuguide is pretty good, but nothing takes the place of experience
[06:02] <musikgoat|laptop> yes
[06:02] <Almighty_Henaro> Hey everyone
[06:02] <adub> has anyone got atheros cards to work in monitor mode with feisty
[06:02] <diafic> Reason for alsa wierdness: 2.6.20-16 broke it
[06:02] <musikgoat|laptop> updated, and saw feisty in the update list
[06:02] <Jordan_U> thinlace, strange, are you using totem-gstreamer?
[06:02] <diafic> -15 is fine
[06:02] <thinlace> jordan_u so should i just go back to the open source drivers for ATI cards?
[06:02] <colrry> #ubuntu-cn? or #ubuntu-zh?
[06:02] <pedro> zerokill88: gnomelook.org
[06:02] <Almighty_Henaro> I messed up my sessions.  Is there anyway to edit them through CTRL ALT f2?
[06:02] <zerokill88> hanks pedro\
[06:02] <thinlace> jordan_u i am running sudo gstreamer-properties
[06:02] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> ubuntuguide...is that where i should start?
[06:03] <Almighty_Henaro> ._.
[06:03] <pedro> pleasehelpubuntu: id say for now, yes
[06:03] <Jack_Sparrow> zerokill88: yes
[06:03] <Almighty_Henaro> Anyone know?
[06:03] <St3a1tH> how can i set up ubuntu to allow Alt + Keypad = ASCII ? Like windows
[06:03] <BSDaemon> mofmog: "No screens" indicates that there is no valid entry in the Screens section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:03] <Jordan_U> thinlace, No sudo, don't run sudo unless someone tells you to or you get an error that you need to be root, it can be dangerous if you don't know what you are doing
[06:03] <mofmog> so how do i fix that?
[06:03] <Jordan_U> thinlace, In this case there is no harm though
[06:03] <silvernode> can i ask a question?
[06:04] <Almighty_Henaro> Anyone know how to edit sessions through the command line?
[06:04] <Sir_Funk> the way you learn Ubuntu is you just use it and when you want to do something that you don't know how to do you go look up a tutorial or documentation for it and you keep doing that over and over again until you're proficient with it
[06:04] <bullgard4> Tracker Search Tool: How to delimit a search string that is longer than one word? (" or ' does not function. They return hits for the single words of the search string.)
[06:04] <Jordan_U> thinlace, If they support what you want to do with your card ( some cards can't do 3D with the OSS driver )
[06:04] <mofmog> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31357/ <-- prbably won't help
[06:04] <royel> silvernode: theres no lines here...
[06:04] <Almighty_Henaro> Anyone? '_'
[06:04] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> Sir_Funk: thank you sir, i'll make sure to do that
[06:04] <silvernode> ok
[06:04] <silvernode> well
[06:04] <Jordan_U> bullgard4, Try escaping the space with a \ possibly
[06:05] <thinlace> jordan_u so i was running the right command but didn't need sudo.. so its just not working i guess?
[06:05] <silvernode> I need to find a program that will allow me to record my web cam
[06:05] <thinlace> jordan_u how can i get the os version, i tried this last week but couldn't get it reinstalled..
[06:05] <Jordan_U> thinlace, It won't work if you run sudo
[06:05] <adub> has anyone got atheros cards to work in monitor mode with feisty
[06:05] <Almighty_Henaro> Does anyone know how to edit sessions from the command line?  Like what file do I edit, and what text editor should I use?
[06:06] <dr_willis> Almighty_Henaro,  what sessions you refering to?
[06:06] <Almighty_Henaro> good question
[06:06] <thinlace> jordan_u wow you're right, why is that?
[06:06] <Almighty_Henaro> The ones in the Properties menu
[06:06] <Almighty_Henaro> Like the start up programs
[06:06] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> Sir_Funk: i even have issues trying to install programs and stuff...it's all difficult for me hah
[06:06] <] RandoM[> when i try to make another user account the account manager won't open
[06:06] <Jordan_U> thinlace, The OSS ( Open Source Software ) drivers don't support all cards, but you can switch try switching back to them with System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager
[06:06] <] RandoM[> any idea why?
[06:06] <dr_willis> Almighty_Henaro,  properties menu? startup programs? Huh?
[06:07] <silvernode> If anyone doesnt know of any software that will let me record my web cam just let me know so i can stop asking lol
[06:07] <quaal> anyone use pan newsreader ?
[06:07] <dr_willis> There are Menu editor tools that edit the 'gnome menu' list of apps.
[06:07] <Almighty_Henaro> dr_willis I'm not sure D:  Beryl messed up and I have Beryl as a startup program
[06:07] <thinlace> jordan_u i tried that and it shows the ATI driver, and shows as being selected and active, but that is not the OS driver.. somehow it doesn't see that anymore, i think envy removed it?
[06:07] <dr_willis> Almighty_Henaro,  I dont touch Beryl. :P
[06:07] <Jordan_U> thinlace, It changes the preferences of the user that runs it, so unless you are running totem as root ( never do that :) it will use your user's preferences :)
[06:07] <dr_willis> !beryl
[06:07] <ubotu> beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. Help in #ubuntu-effects
[06:07] <Almighty_Henaro> No one is ever in ubuntu-effects
[06:07] <bullgard4> Jordan_U: To 'escape the space' means in an example: Instead of using 'Ubuntu user' I should use 'Ubuntu\ user'?
[06:07] <Almighty_Henaro> And I'm just trying to get rid of it from my sessions
[06:08] <vexati0n> silvernode : you can get istanbul and use it to select an area of your screen to record. just select the part of the screen that shows your webcam.
[06:08] <Jordan_U> bullgard4, Yes
[06:08] <Almighty_Henaro> I'm stuck using irssi in commandline mode
[06:08] <dr_willis> Almighty_Henaro,  you are refering to the LOGIN SCREEN sessions?  in the gdm menus?
[06:08] <Almighty_Henaro> Yeah I believe so
[06:08] <bullgard4> Jordan_U: I will give it a try again. I have done so yesterday but it did not work.
[06:08] <silvernode> vexati0n: Well i was looking for an app that would let me use slow motion and stuff and have options
[06:08] <royel> Almighty_Henaro: Stuck!! some of us prefer irssi! :)
[06:09] <vexati0n> silvernode : do that stuff with a video editor after you record the raw video.
[06:09] <Jordan_U> thinlace, Yes, disable the ATI restricted driver ( and in the future don't use envy unless you know you need the latest drivers, it installs them in a way that they will break when you get a kernel upgrade )
[06:09] <Almighty_Henaro> I don't know how to use it
[06:09] <Almighty_Henaro> e_e
[06:09] <dr_willis> Thats if you select a different item, it shouldent be starting that stuff.. So im not sure you are correct. :) 'gdm' gets its items from a directoryu with  lot of .desktop files   /usr/share/xsessions/gnome.desktop and similer.
[06:09] <Jordan_U> thinlace, Or, just to be sure that envy removes any junk it installed remove it from envy
[06:09] <Almighty_Henaro> Hmm
[06:09] <musikgoat|laptop> edgy server to feisty server, running do-release-upgrade and got "current dist not found in meta-release file, No new release found",  any help?
[06:09] <dr_willis> GDM has a simple menu to select different 'desktops' I thugh the beryl install stuff added one there for Beryl.
[06:09] <Almighty_Henaro> And how do I edit that from the command line?
[06:10] <dr_willis> you add/remove the files in that dir. :)
[06:10] <dr_willis> one .dekstop file per 'option' in the mensu
[06:10] <Almighty_Henaro> Oh I see
[06:10] <dr_willis> rather straight fprwared. :)
[06:10] <Almighty_Henaro> How do I scroll up in irssi?
[06:10] <silvernode> vexati0n: Well what would i use to record besides that one you spoke of or is that all you know of?
[06:10] <Almighty_Henaro> Page up..
[06:10] <thinlace> i tried removing it from envy but that leaves me with a xconf file that can't boot gnome
[06:10] <Almighty_Henaro> Aha!
[06:10] <thinlace> jordan_u i tried removing it from envy but that leaves me with a xconf file that can't boot gnome
[06:10] <Jordan_U> Almighty_Henaro, System -> Preferences -> Sessions
[06:11] <Almighty_Henaro> Jordan_U, how do I edit it from command line?
[06:11] <mofmog> Jordan_U how do i fix the no screens error?
[06:11] <silvernode> vexati0n:an editor would work too
[06:11] <Jordan_U> mofmog, That is there because you were trying to run a GUI application without having X started
[06:11] <dr_willis> thats a different set of 'sessions' :) then the Xsessions.
[06:11] <mofmog> so how do i start x?
[06:11] <Almighty_Henaro> Well how do I edit it?
[06:11] <Almighty_Henaro> D:
[06:11] <musikgoat|laptop> is there any other alternatives to installing feisty server, other than do-release-upgrade?
[06:11] <Jordan_U> dr_willis, Almighty_Henaro Oh, didn't read the X :)
[06:11] <mofmog> startx gives me an error
[06:12] <vexati0n> silvernode, that's all i know of. it depends on your webcam, too. if you have a camcorder or something with a firewire output, i think you can do that kind of thing with Kino
[06:12] <dr_willis> sessionis really a vague term. Ya couldjust move the .gnome* dirs  or look in the .gnome dirs for some session related file.
[06:12] <dr_willis> Jordan_U,  Im not sure which one hes wanting. Since i dont mess with beryl
[06:12] <vexati0n> silvernode, otherwise just record it with istanbul and then edit it with pitivi or kino
[06:12] <Almighty_Henaro> dr_willis, it has nothing to do with Beryl I'm asking a general question
[06:12] <Jordan_U> dr_willis, It's in Gnome unless he is using XGL or a very bad guide
[06:13] <Almighty_Henaro> Jordan_U how do I edit the sessions from a command line?
[06:13] <dr_willis> Almighty_Henaro,  the GDM login manager, and KDM both get their desktop sessions listing from those files.
[06:13] <dr_willis> They are just text files. edit/add/remove/change what you want
[06:13] <Almighty_Henaro> How?
[06:13] <dr_willis> with a text editor of course. :)
[06:13] <Jordan_U> Almighty_Henaro, nano /path/to/file
[06:13] <Almighty_Henaro> I don't know where the file it
[06:13] <dr_willis> If you have to ask how to do that.. well its time to read a few linux tutorials. :)
[06:13] <Almighty_Henaro> is*
[06:14] <dr_willis> Almighty_Henaro,  there is no one file for the GDM sessions
[06:14] <pmorrison> Hey, does anyone know if I can select which wireless network I connect to by default in 7.04? Right now it connects to my neighbors unprotected by default instead of mine... have to switch it over manually every time I restart.
[06:14] <dr_willis> that Dirctory is scanned and each .desktop file is one 'session menu item'
[06:14] <Almighty_Henaro> Well how do I use a command line text editor then?
[06:14] <dr_willis> fire up an editor and look at the gnome.desktop file
[06:14] <dr_willis> !editor
[06:14] <ubotu> Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) | Terminal-based editors: vi/vim, emacs, and nano (user-friendly). | HTML/CSS editors: !html | Programming: !code
[06:14] <dr_willis> fire up nano. and have a blast.. or install a better editor
[06:14] <Almighty_Henaro> How do I use it?
[06:14] <dr_willis> I like 'fte' and 'vi' for the console
[06:15] <dr_willis> nano textfiletoedit.txt
[06:15] <Almighty_Henaro> How do I save thigns with it?
[06:15] <dr_willis> man nano
[06:15] <Almighty_Henaro> Okay
[06:15] <dr_willis> Fire up nano and look.. its about as idiot-proof as it gets
[06:15] <dr_willis> just rember that ^w = CONTROL W
[06:15] <dr_willis>  ^ = control
[06:15] <musikgoat|laptop> edgy server to feisty server, running do-release-upgrade and got "current dist not found in meta-release file, No new release found",  should I keep asking?  I don't want to be annoying, but i cant find anything else
[06:15] <Almighty_Henaro> How do I save?
[06:15] <Almighty_Henaro> Man nano came up blank
[06:16] <musikgoat|laptop> ctrl + x
[06:16] <dr_willis> you havent fired up nano yet have you..
[06:16] <bullgard4> Jordan_U:  escaping the space with a \ does not function either as I have confirmed just now a second time.
[06:16] <Almighty_Henaro> dr_willis, I have it open right now
[06:16] <dr_willis> man nano - gives me a man page on nano
[06:16] <pedro> anyone familiar with the 'low sound' problem and how to fix it?
[06:17] <bulmer> on dapper...is there a  /proc/net/ip_conntrack?   I can not seem to find this
[06:17] <Almighty_Henaro> It gives me "a" page but no more than "a" page
[06:17] <wlwireless> Thought of getting a HP F370 all-in-1 inkjet printer. anyone knows if it works with Linux, say, there is a driver for it?
[06:17] <musikgoat|laptop> Almighty_Henaro: nano /path/to/file
[06:17] <award09> any programs that use openGL rendering crash my x server.  i thought AIGLX might be the issue, but I diabled it and got the same result.  full-screen programs w/o 3d acceleration work just fine.  any ideas to why?
[06:17] <Almighty_Henaro> I know that now
[06:17] <Almighty_Henaro> I just need to figure out where this file is
[06:17] <yellow_chicken> does gimp have mirror-image conversion?
[06:18] <dr_willis> Almighty_Henaro,  there is no 'one' file.
[06:18] <award09> Almighty: to continue reading the man page, press enter, that will scroll one page at a time
[06:18] <Almighty_Henaro> System -> Preferences -> Sessions  I need to figure out how to edit that menu from the CL
[06:18] <award09> you have to hit esc to exit
[06:19] <dr_willis> Almighty_Henaro,  that 'session' is NOT the same session as the gdm/kdm desktop sessions
[06:19] <N-drew> Hi
[06:19] <Almighty_Henaro> dr_willis, kay well how do I edit it
[06:19] <dr_willis> Almighty_Henaro,  not sure you mean by 'edit' it.
[06:20] <B1zz> HI.  I get the following error in xine when trying to play a dvd.....he audio device is unavailable.  Please verify if another program already use it.  I have shut down all the programs that i think use audio.  Any ideas?
[06:20] <Almighty_Henaro> dr_willis how do I change the settings of it
[06:20] <dr_willis> you want to manually add/remove startup proigrams from your gnome 'sessions' ? you mean to say?
[06:20] <Almighty_Henaro> Yeah
[06:20] <bulmer> on dapper...is there a  /proc/net/ip_conntrack?   <-- I can not seem to find this ip_conntrack
[06:20] <Almighty_Henaro> I'd look this up myself but google doesn't work on lynx
[06:21] <musikgoat|laptop> bulmer: there isn't one in edgy
[06:21] <LvcisPveR> hi
[06:21] <musikgoat|laptop> but i dunno about dapper
[06:21] <dr_willis> Almighty_Henaro,  it may not even be a 'text'file you can edit for gnome. they have some compex setting files.
[06:21] <dr_willis> Almighty_Henaro,  you COULD just move/remove/remane the .gnome* dirs to some other dir.
[06:21] <dr_willis> that will kick gnome back to defaults
[06:21] <musikgoat|laptop> Almighty_Henaro: could you just apt-get remove beryl?
[06:21] <bulmer> musikgoat|laptop: i wonder what is the equivalent of that ip_conntrack  packet tracker..you know?
[06:21] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> hi i just got help mounting my new 500gb ntfs external hard drive...i used the unmount command before shutting it down...now when i turn it on i get the following message http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31358/

[06:23] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> do i just type ntfsfix in the terminal?
[06:23] <Almighty_Henaro> Hopefully that worked
[06:23] <CompIsMyRx> PleaseHelpUbuntu: do this in the terminal "sudo ntfsfix /dev/sda5

[06:30] <award09> what i thought, but he got a weird error
[06:30] <dr_willis> LvcisPveR,  look in .vnc - there SHOULD be some log files in there, you should now be able to connect with a vncviewer program
[06:30] <blackace11> bulmer: it's the 150e
[06:31] <award09> and now my enter key is sticking again.  fantastic

[06:31] <dr_willis> linkstack,  'make a lan' is so... well.. worded wrong.. wyat are you trying to do? share files? if one machine can ping the other.. they are connected. now its the services you want them to use.
[06:32] <blackace11> i believe it's standard def
[06:32] <LvcisPveR> dr_willis: yeah, there are 4 files, one of them is a start-up file
[06:32] <blackace11> with the s-video for 'enhanced'
[06:32] <award09> PleaseHelpUbuntu: yes, now you can run ntfsfix like you tried before
[06:32] <dr_willis> LvcisPveR,  rember that startup file. :) its what gets ran when you run vncserver  you might want to edit it later..  you should be able to connect with a vncviweer now.
[06:32] <bulmer> blackace11: okay..i thought its with the atsc (aka HDTV) receiver

[06:33] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> it doesnt work
[06:33] <dr_willis> LvcisPveR,  also be carefull you dont run more then 1 vncserver by accident.  (you can have several, it just gets confusing)
[06:33] <award09> PleaseHelpUbuntu: can you be more specific?

[06:36] <blackace11> aka i just want to know
[06:37] <award09> blackace11: well, ntfsfix wouldn't do anything except spit errors at you
[06:37] <blackace11> oh ok

[06:59] <zoidberg_> .r02
[06:59] <zoidberg_> files
[06:59] <zoidberg_> i dunno what that is?
[06:59] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> applying all listed operations. depending on the amount and type o operations this might take a long time.
[06:59] <astro76> !rar | zoidberg_
[06:59] <ubotu> zoidberg_: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[06:59] <musikgoat|laptop> zoidberg_: those are probly rar split files
[06:59] <blackace11> guitarinc1: you can reinstall grub off live cd without installing ubuntu
[06:59] <marcus_> question: is there a way to run embedded new user session in different language?
[06:59] <zoidberg_> musikgoat|laptop, how do i open or unrar them ?
[06:59] <blackace11> pleasehelpubuntu: yeah it usually doesn't though
[06:59] <keretai> hello, I'm having a huge installation problem with 64bit fiesty.  The CD seems to be loading, but the screen goes blank.. then off.  I have an amd x2 4800+ nvidia 8800 gts
[07:00] <musikgoat|laptop> read what ubotu said
[07:00] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> it was ntfs before, so now it's gona be ext3...is that ok?
[07:00] <GuitarInc1> keretai: I'm having the same problem
[07:00] <blackace11> pleasehelpubuntu: please type my name then colon then your message... and if you don't want to type my name just do it once and use up arrow after that
[07:00] <blackace11> pleasehelpubuntu: yeah that will be fine
[07:00] <GuitarInc1> apparently, the nvidia 8xxx doesn't have good drivers
[07:00] <blackace11> pleasehelpubuntu: ext3 is what the ubuntu file system is
[07:00] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> blackace11: will do
[07:01] <marcus_> i couldnt get ubuntu 64 to start either
[07:01] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> blackace11: so i wont be able to use it with windows and stuff?
[07:01] <blackace11> pleasehelpubuntu: i like it cause people using windows can't snoop on it..
[07:01] <blackace11> yeh windows wont open it
[07:01] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> blackace11: that sounds good, but if i ever do use it with windows can i reformat it to ntfs?
[07:01] <ThanatosDrive> Can someone help me out with a software problem? (Virtual Keyboard)
[07:02] <Ahadiel> How would one go about setting up a 2nd monitor on an Intel GMA 945. (In a laptop)
[07:02] <blackace11> yeah but remember when you reformat it, you loose what's on it
[07:02] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> blackace11: right, that makes sense...this is taking an awful long time though
[07:02] <marcus_> also where can i ask question about fvwm95?
[07:02] <Ahadiel> Is there any special software? or just use the built-in Display Settings?
[07:02] <blackace11> ahadiel: plug it in to the monitor port
[07:02] <holychico> blackace11, actually there are few ways to access ext3 in windows

[07:02] <blackace11> holychico: cool! didn''t know... thanks!!
[07:03] <dr_willis> techjim,  last i did that i ended up changeing the share name it was MUCH easier....
[07:03] <blackace11> that's going to make my life easier
[07:03] <dr_willis> techjim,  now a days im using that 'fuse smb' stuff to access the network shares.
[07:03] <blackace11> i've bein 'aimin' stuff back and forth
[07:03] <holychico> blackace11, :)
[07:03] <techjim> fuse smb?  deb pkg?
[07:03] <ThanatosDrive> That's odd.
[07:03] <keretai> PleaseHelpUbuntu:installation problem with 64bit fiesty.  The CD seems to be loading, but the screen goes blank.. then off.  nothing comes up while the cd is loading. I have an amd x2 4800+ nvidia 8800 gts
[07:03] <techjim> dr_willis: fuse smb? deb pkg?
[07:04] <dr_willis> !fuse

[07:06] <GuitarInc1> alpha255: how did you like fedora?
[07:06] <holychico> crdlb, thanks :)
[07:06] <dr_willis> zaxor0,  you do NOT chmod the mountpoint for a windows drive. You must mountit with the proper options.
[07:06] <alpha255> good
[07:06] <zaxor0> dr_willis thanks, can you let me know of a site where I can find more information?
[07:06] <dr_willis> zaxor0,  all over the internet. :) is it ntfs? or vfat?
[07:06] <dr_willis> !ntfs
[07:06] <blackace11> dr willis is correct!!! you will lock out the drive and screw up !!!
[07:06] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[07:06] <GuitarInc1> alpha255: does ubuntu have any noteworthy advantages/disadvantages?
[07:06] <dr_willis> blackace11,  ive never seen it lock :) it just dont work.. heh
[07:06] <zaxor0> dr_willis, hold on its my room mates let me check
[07:07] <blackace11> dr willis
[07:07] <dr_willis> zaxor0,  'sudo fdisk -l' will show ya info on the drive
[07:07] <blackace11> i mean that i couldn't open or mount it in windows or linux
[07:07] <alpha255> GuitarInc1, ubuntu works well good community support
[07:07] <keretai> GuitarInc1: I didn't like software installation on fedora. ubuntu installer seems so much better to me
[07:07] <alpha255> GuitarInc1, uses deb packages vs rpms
[07:07] <chase> @_@
[07:07] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> blackace11: it's still mounting...is it supposed to take this long?
[07:07] <keretai> I also had problems with adobe reader
[07:07] <zoidberg_> guys i'm on a school network
[07:07] <blackace11> it's not mounting it's formating
[07:07] <zoidberg_> i can ssh to a computer on a school network
[07:07] <GuitarInc1> alpha255: while I agree about the community...
[07:07] <blackace11> and with 500 gb it will take a while
[07:08] <GuitarInc1> alpha255: ubuntu working...not so much.
[07:08] <zoidberg_> but for some reason i cant ssh to a laptop in my room from the pc in my room vice versa
[07:08] <GuitarInc1> at least on my hardware
[07:08] <zoidberg_> any helo
[07:08] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> blackace11: i'll be patient then...formatting right heh
[07:08] <zaxor0> dr_willis, it is a ntfs usb hard drive, can I find the information I need on the ubuntu support pages?
[07:08] <dr_willis> !ntfs
[07:08] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[07:08] <alpha255> GuitarInc1, what hardware?
[07:08] <dr_willis> !ntfs-3g
[07:08] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[07:08] <zoidberg_> both laptop and pc are connected to the school network via an 8 port network swtich
[07:08] <zaxor0> thank you dr_willis
[07:09] <dr_willis> zoidberg_,  they both have their own ip's ?
[07:09] <GuitarInc1> core2 duo 2.67 GHz, 4 gigs RAM, nvidia GeForce 8400 GS
[07:09] <holychico> is it safe using ntfs-3g?
[07:09] <GuitarInc1> I can't get my graphics card to work
[07:09] <alpha255> GuitarInc1, new machine eh?
[07:09] <GuitarInc1> says PCI 1:0:0 bad, something or other....
[07:09] <adub> Makefile:21: *** missing separator.  Stop.   <--- i get that error when i run make
[07:09] <GuitarInc1> yeah...HP
[07:09] <dr_willis> holychico,  i found it safer , then letting windows access my ext3 partitions..
[07:09] <dr_willis> :)
[07:09] <GuitarInc1> I'm sure I just voided my warrenty
[07:09] <GuitarInc1> heh
[07:09] <zoidberg_> dr_willis, yes they do
[07:09] <alpha255> GuitarInc1, i usually wait a while before putting linux on
[07:10] <dr_willis> zoidberg_,  can they ping each other? (network testing 101) :)
[07:10] <alpha255> GuitarInc1, new machines/hardware can be temperamental.
[07:10] <zoidberg_> dr_willis, i'm not sure...how can i check
[07:10] <holychico> dr_willis, hahaha
[07:10] <dr_willis> zoidberg_,  ping ip#.oif.the.machines
[07:10] <alpha255> GuitarInc1, 6 months old stuff works better
[07:10] <dr_willis> zoidberg_,  then - you DID isntall ssh on the machines?
[07:10] <alpha255> GuitarInc1, sorry, just the way it goes
[07:10] <GuitarInc1> alpha255: yeah...but I've just graduated from college, and I want to make myself as marketable as possible.  I figure being proficient in Linux is a good thing to put on the resume.
[07:11] <dr_willis> GuitarInc1,  being able to golf in the 80's is good also.. :)
[07:11] <alpha255> GuitarInc1, sometimes windows software doesn't work well either on brand new hardware
[07:11] <zoidberg_> dr_willis, both of these machines connect to this other linux computer on campus via ssh
[07:11] <alpha255> GuitarInc1, got a spare p4 machine?
[07:11] <zoidberg_> dr_willis, however i didnt install anything on them...i just installed feisty out of the box
[07:11] <alpha255> GuitarInc1, i still use 300mhz machines
[07:12] <zoidberg_> dr_willis, do i need to install an ssh server on both?
[07:12] <dr_willis> zoidberg_,  then you dont have a ssh server installed on them yet.
[07:12] <alpha255> GuitarInc1, got a dual 400 pII machine that works well
[07:12] <dr_willis> zoidberg_,  the ones you wan tto ssh to.. yes
[07:12] <GuitarInc1> I'm still using my laptop...
[07:12] <dr_willis> zoidberg_,  may as well put it on both. :)
[07:12] <GuitarInc1> and other than that, I've got a decade old comp
[07:12] <GuitarInc1> P II
[07:12] <zoidberg_> dr_willis, ok i thought that was the problem...what is the name of the ssh server package so that i can download it from apt?
[07:12] <dr_willis> !ssh
[07:12] <ubotu> SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/

[07:30] <T-Connect> they
[07:30] <techjim> is it wise to keep a /home/$user on a NAS box?
[07:30] <LadyNikon> andruk: its late in some places of the earth.. but you do have the forums who has a larger volume of people
[07:30] <T-Connect> I will try the forum.
[07:30] <LadyNikon> its 1.28am here..
[07:30] <LadyNikon> in the states.
[07:30] <T-Connect> 12:30 am here
[07:31] <techjim> lol yeah I was about to say.  I'm EST too but you're off.  1:31 now
[07:31] <techjim> right click on your clock on gnome panel, adjust time/date.  sync it up :D
[07:31] <zin> HI
[07:31] <andruk> 11:30pm here....
[07:31] <zoidberg_> hey guys
[07:31] <LadyNikon> techjim: ..
[07:32] <LadyNikon> anyways good luck andruk
[07:32] <zoidberg_> i have a laptop and a desktop hooked up on an 8 port ehtern netgear swtich
[07:32] <zoidberg_> both have fiesty
[07:32] <andruk> LadyNikon: yep.  thanks.  sry about the tone.
[07:32] <zoidberg_> how can i view the files located on the laptop from the desktop using a GUI method?
[07:32] <astro76> techjim, can you use nfs with the NAS ?
[07:32] <LadyNikon> zoidberg_: type in the ip addy in the browser
[07:33] <LadyNikon> as long as they are on the same network.. it should work
[07:33] <zoidberg_> LadyNikon, what browser...firefox?
[07:33] <techjim> astro76, I suppose so.  the maxtor one touch 300gb drive is formatted ntfs and haven't tried ntfs3g.  I'm kind of scared.
[07:33] <astro76> zoidberg_, places>connect to server... , pick ssh
[07:33] <ThanatosDrive> I'm disappointed that something as old as MIDI isn't supported well by Ubuntu.
[07:34] <LadyNikon> zoidberg_: i would try notalus.. (however its spelled)
[07:34] <CowzRule> nautilus
[07:34] <astro76> techjim, I'm not sure how that's going to work, I would think you would need it formatted as ext3 or some other linux filesystem
[07:34] <T-Connect> Nobody here uses SDL files on anything?
[07:34] <zoidberg_> LadyNikon, where is nautilus?
[07:34] <andruk> ThanatosDrive: whatever do you mean?
[07:35] <astro76> zoidberg_, nautilus is the file manager in gnome
[07:35] <CowzRule> Hit "ALT-F2" and type nautilus
[07:36] <techjim> anyone in here using a maxtor 300gb NAS?  mounting ntfs work out fine?
[07:36] <GuitarInc1> sweet!  I have the GUI back!
[07:36] <GuitarInc1> thank you, alpha255
[07:37] <GuitarInc1> now I just downloaded the most recent driver from nvidia...
[07:37] <ThanatosDrive> andruk: I'm saying that Timidity doesn't work very well. NoteWorthy Composer, in WINE, has issues. And both the NoteEdit site and Canorus site are down. I'm simply trying to get a simple tracker or music notation program that can playback what I notate. I tried BEAST, which fails to recognize any MIDI drivers.
[07:37] <T-Connect> Where is Ubuntu people?
[07:37] <GuitarInc1> where do I place it?
[07:37] <ThanatosDrive> T-Connect: ?
[07:37] <zoidberg_> LadyNikon, when i connect to server using the ssh option....it mounts the connection ont eh desktop but when i double clikc it it says could not log in...both computers have ssh and ssh server installed
[07:37] <Optimus55> hey i have a strange problem now. in ubuntu, the clock wont stay in the corner, instead it moves outwards as more icons hit the tray
[07:37] <t94xr> T-Connect: Ubuntu is like God.
[07:37] <astro76> techjim, I don't see how the file permissions/ownership would work
[07:37] <t94xr> T-Connect: Ubuntu is everywhere and everywhere is Ubunut.
[07:37] <T-Connect> I need SDL files to make fbasdl.
[07:37] <techjim> I see
[07:38] <ThanatosDrive> Optimus55: Drag it back to that position, right-click on it, and select 'Lock to Position'
[07:38] <T-Connect> I'm missing those.
[07:38] <CVD> where the hell is the bright, contrast settings in Video Lan , VLC?
[07:38] <ThanatosDrive> Optimus55: Oops, 'Lock to Panel'
[07:38] <astro76> zoidberg_, using the correct IP for the other computer?
[07:39] <T-Connect> Ok I gave up. Nobody knows what I'm tlking about.
[07:39] <CVD> where the hell is the bright, contrast settings in Video Lan , VLC?
[07:39] <T-Connect> talking
[07:39] <Optimus55> ThanatosDrive: oh! thanks! the taskbar was so light i couldnt see the drag point... oops
[07:39] <T-Connect> I will ask on @winehq instead.
[07:40] <DavidCraft> ok I have a very old Athlon computer with a brand new PATA WB 160gig HD.  I tried to install ubuntu on it and it installed fine, but it will not boot.  WHat could be the problem
[07:40] <GuitarInc1> where are drivers located?
[07:40] <GuitarInc1> in the usr?
[07:41] <unagi_> anyone know how to configure the compiz-extras?
[07:41] <DavidCraft> now it may be that the system only supports ATA100... as the drive is ATA133... but then why did it install fine
[07:41] <metbsd> where does IE7 store favourites?
[07:41] <DavidCraft> any ideas?
[07:41] <ThanatosDrive> metbsd: My guess is the Registry.
[07:42] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> i can't get my external hdd to work...it's a 500gb seagate...reformatted from ntfs to ext3...disk icon now on my desktop but i cannot move files to it
[07:43] <Optimus55> metbsd: check in C:\my documents and settings\profile\favourites
[07:43] <CowzRule> CVD: Look under Settings - Preferences. Double click Video and then Filters
[07:43] <Optimus55> metbsd: its stored in that folder
[07:44] <LinuxProbie> Two problems! One - Samba forgot how to se emy windows network. Two - What is the command you put into the terminal after you write the script for a button on the task bar?
[07:44] <CVD> but just to want video, all its for all videos/
[07:44] <CVD> ?
[07:44] <alpha255> GuitarInc1, isn't that a script?
[07:44] <alpha255> GuitarInc1, you have to run it
[07:44] <alpha255> chmod 777 somethingfromnividia.sh
[07:44] <alpha255> then use ./somethingfromnividia.sh
[07:44] <bullgard4> How can I determine from what repository came my current DEB program package lftp version 3.5.11-1~feisty1?
[07:44] <alpha255> there should be instructions on how to install
[07:44] <zaxor0> I have a usb hard drive, its NTFS, I installed ntfs-config and I want to be able to write to it but I cant. What should I do?
[07:44] <metbsd> i can't find it
[07:44] <LinuxProbie> !samba
[07:44] <ubotu> samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[07:45] <astro76> alpha255, chmod +x is much better than 777
[07:46] <astro76> PleaseHelpUbuntu, you could make a directory on the drive and give your owner ownership
[07:46] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> how would i do that?
[07:46] <astro76> PleaseHelpUbuntu, *your user
[07:47] <LinuxProbie> can someone help me with my samba problems?
[07:47] <CowzRule> metbsd: Right click the Start button and select Explore. Look for a folder titled Favourites
[07:48] <zaxor0>  I have a usb hard drive, its NTFS, I installed ntfs-config and I want to be able to write to it but I cant. What should I do?
[07:48] <astro76> PleaseHelpUbuntu, cd to the mount point then sudo mkdir directoryname && chown user:user directoryname
[07:48] <zoidberg_> hey can someone help me with ssh
[07:48] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> astro76: yea u just blew right over my head
[07:48] <m1r> zoidberg_ ?
[07:48] <astro76> PleaseHelpUbuntu, where is it mounted?
[07:48] <zoidberg_> i just had it working i installed the ssh server on both th aptop and the desktop and i could log into both...but now i cant...it say connection refuesd
[07:49] <stuart-> apt-update updates the sources.list, right? what does apt-upgrade upgrade, actually?
[07:49] <m1r> u got firewall there zoidberg_ ?
[07:49] <zoidberg_> mlr it was working just a few minutes ago?
[07:49] <SirSherlock> i need advice.............m in the process of making a web server from a p3 box, but i have another box i was gonna make into shorewall firewall/router......so should i just combine them, or is that a security problem........or your thoughts????
[07:49] <astro76> PleaseHelpUbuntu, should be in /media, first do cd /media/whatever
[07:49] <zoidberg_> mlr no these two computers are on a netgear network swithc in my room
[07:49] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> /dev/sda1
[07:49] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> is that what you are looking for?
[07:49] <LinuxProbie> when I try to navigate to my windows network, this happens :
[07:49] <zoidberg_> mlr it was working just a few minutes ago?
[07:49] <LinuxProbie> Sorry, couldn't display all the contents of "Windows Network: rollertek".
[07:49] <m1r> zoidberg_ , apt-get remove --purge openssh-server then try again
[07:50] <breanna_> Is there a tool I can use to build many systems with the same packages on them?
[07:50] <astro76> PleaseHelpUbuntu, that's the device not the mount point, it's in /media
[07:50] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> astro76: just pm me if it's possible
[07:50] <astro76> PleaseHelpUbuntu, if you type mount you'll see where it's mounted
[07:50] <m1r> breanna_ apt-oncd
[07:50] <astro76> keep it in channel
[07:50] <breanna_> m1r: thanks hon
[07:50] <m1r> np
[07:50] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> /dev/sda5 on /media/disk type ext3
[07:51] <m1r> breanna_ probably a better way exist but i not know of
[07:51] <gibson> hello>?
[07:51] <astro76> PleaseHelpUbuntu, now type: cd /media/disk && mkdir foldername && chown username:username foldername
[07:52] <astro76> PleaseHelpUbuntu, replace username with your user name and foldername with whatever you want
[07:52] <astro76> PleaseHelpUbuntu, sorry type: cd /media/disk && sudo mkdir foldername && sudo chown username:username foldername
[07:52] <breanna_> m1r: yeah... was hoping for one that could install the packages over the network... but this will do
[07:53] <m1r> breanna_ then u probably would need repository server for that which is far off my knowledge
[07:53] <radar1976> anyone here chinese?
[07:53] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> cannot create directory 'data' : Permission denied
[07:54] <radar1976> I need a word converted from English to Chinese
[07:54] <zaxor0>  I have a usb hard drive, its NTFS, I installed ntfs-config and I want to be able to write to it but I cant. What should I do?
[07:54] <breanna_> m1r: meaning I could probably do an apt-get install off of my server and get all the packages needed eh?
[07:54] <astro76> PleaseHelpUbuntu, use the corrected one I gave you
[07:54] <m1r> yes breanna_
[07:54] <breanna_> m1r: I'll start heading in that direction then... thanks again!
[07:55] <m1r> np gl
[07:55] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> astro76: now i get /media/disk$
[07:55] <m1r> breanna_ or try remaster cd with packages u need
[07:56] <CowzRule> google english chinese translation
[07:56] <m1r> then install from customized cd u made from your system
[07:56] <astro76> PleaseHelpUbuntu, it should have created the folder in there, type ls -l
[07:57] <breanna_> m1r: I'll play around with both... guess they both have their uses
[07:57] <m1r> yep
[07:57] <m1r> depends what u need em for
[07:57] <m1r> network server is best imho
[07:58] <DavidCraft> ok I have a very old Athlon computer with a brand new PATA WB 160gig HD.  I tried to install ubuntu on it and it installed fine, but it will not boot.  WHat could be the problem?
[07:58] <DavidCraft> now it may be that the system only supports ATA100... as the drive is ATA133... but then why did it install fine
[07:58] <m1r> davidcraft where does system stops ?
[07:58] <Kream> hi. is it possible to detect whether the system i'm using has ddr or ddr2 ram from within linux ?
[07:58] <m1r> at grub ?
[07:58] <DavidCraft> when booting? says theres no boot record on any media
[07:58] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> astro76: thank you sir...all working in order
[07:58] <DavidCraft> no doesnt even get to grub
[07:59] <musikgoat|laptop> anyone know why if i copy an ssh key to another computer, why the passphrase isn't accepted?
[07:59] <unagi> DavidCraft: what EXACTLY do you mean by it wont boot
[07:59] <m1r> davidcraft , u instaled from livecd ?
[07:59] <DavidCraft> server edition 7
[07:59] <m1r> did u configure grub davidcraft ?
[08:00] <stuart-> what does apt-get upgrade upgrade, actually. the ubuntu system in general?
[08:00] <l3ch> I'm new to linux and was wondering if there is any program that I can run to make mp3 cds. I know there are programs out there that can make a cd from mp3, but I would like to put more than one cd's worth on a disk.
[08:00] <GuitarInc1> how do you close X?
[08:00] <GuitarInc1> the nvidia driver is yelling at me
[08:00] <DavidCraft> iv done this before on other computers, some config I have done before...
[08:00] <GuitarInc1> that X isn't closed
[08:00] <stuart-> GuitarInc1, in terminal?
[08:00] <m1r> davidcraft , did grub bootloader install at end ?
[08:00] <GuitarInc1> I'm a complete newbie
[08:01] <stuart-> GuitarInc1, i'm not sure if this is what you're looking for. but try sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop if you're doing it from the shell
[08:01] <GuitarInc1> I basically need the line-by-line instructions...
[08:01] <DavidCraft> m1r: I believe so, I can reinstall to check
[08:01] <m1r> no need, try just fix grub from cd
[08:01] <astro76> l3ch, there are many programs including the cd/dvd creator built into ubuntu, you just want to make a data cd
[08:01] <DavidCraft> alright, point it to what partition?  the main one?
[08:01] <m1r> yes david
[08:01] <unagi> DavidCraft: what happens when you try to boot
[08:02] <DavidCraft> unagi: nothing says no bootable media
[08:02] <m1r> unagi , sounds like no grub to me if fresh install
[08:02] <stuart-> l3ch, i thought ubuntu already comes with a cd creator, so no worries
[08:02] <unagi> have you tried to boot off the live cd to see if ubuntu actually nstalled?
[08:02] <l3ch> I need a cd that will play in my car. It is able to read mp3. Would a data cd work?
[08:03] <DavidCraft> unagi: yes
[08:03] <Tazbo> I have 3 drives on my system... a 120gb drive, and 2 250's.. my Ubuntu is on one of the 250's... the 120gb drive is the boot drive.. I need to get rid of the 120gb.. I have tried installing grub on the other drive but i'm having no luck.. pointers?
[08:03] <unagi> and its there?
[08:03] <stuart-> l3ch, yes
[08:03] <GuitarInc1> stuart-: that killed everything
[08:03] <GuitarInc1> I don't even have a prompt
[08:03] <GuitarInc1> :(
[08:03] <l3ch> Thx. I'll go ahead and try it.
[08:03] <DavidCraft> im doing the grub fix now... see if that works...
[08:03] <stuart-> GuitarInc1,  weird. that should be done from prompt to stop gdm, and leave you at prompt
[08:04] <breanna_> Is Landscape available for download?
[08:05] <stuart-> GuitarInc1, ctrl+alt+backspace done in the GUI kills X and leaves you at prompt too, if i'm not mistaken.
[08:05] <m1r> it restarts X
[08:05] <stuart-> oops
[08:06] <CVD> i cant believe this vlc dont have and bright/contrast adjustment on the fly
[08:06] <AzMoo[w] > Hi, I'm trying to setup key-based ssh authentication for remote administration but I'm having issues. I've generated my key, added it to the .ssh/authorized_keys file and disabled pam, PasswordAuthentication and ChallengeResponseAuthentication, but it keeps asking me for a password.
[08:06] <Tazbo> Anyone help with grub?
[08:06] <AzMoo[w] > Tazbo: what's wrong with it?
[08:06] <waltercool> ubuntu will have a update of compiz to compiz-fusion?
[08:07] <Frogzoo> CVD: boohoos
[08:07] <unagi> ctrl-alt-backspace restarts x and brings you back to the login screen
[08:07] <Tazbo> I'm trying to relocate it from the current 120gb boot drive to the 250gb.. ubuntu resides on the 250gb boots from the 120.. i need to remove the 120gb from my computer
[08:07] <breanna_> m1r: Check this out:
[08:07] <breanna_> One method of cloning debian installs is to take a current debian machine that is setup with the packages you want. Run the command "dpkg --get-selections > ~/selectionfile". Then, after the base install on other machines use that file and do: "dpkg --set-selections < ./selectionfile && apt-get dselect-upgrade".
[08:07] <CVD> frogzoo, i dont understand that
[08:07] <DavidCraft> m1r: that didnt work...  still the same problem
[08:08] <m1r> intresting breanna_ :)
[08:08] <unagi> why are there different packaging systems for linux..........what are the differences in rpm and deb......why do alot of graphic programs get distributed in rpm?
[08:08] <astro76> AzMoo[w] , I haven't found disabling those items necessary, I just added to authorized_keys and it works...
[08:08] <AzMoo[w] > Tazbo: grub-install /dev/sdxx with xx identifying your drive.
[08:08] <AzMoo[w] > astro76: hrm, weird.
[08:09] <zoidberg_> ok guys im a dumbass

[08:10] <zoidberg_> 'sudo scp file.avi remoteuser@161.32.33.23:/home
[08:10] <zoidberg_> is that wrong
[08:10] <DavidCraft> m1r: what do you mean valid?  bios detects it,  it installs on it, and I can get a shell to it through the CD....
[08:10] <DavidCraft> but it wont boot
[08:10] <zoidberg_> the '/home' is for the home directory on the remote computer
[08:10] <zoidberg_> can anyone help me?
[08:11] <m1r> davidcraft can u pastebin your menu.lst ?
[08:11] <astro76> zoidberg_, I doubt you have permission to write to /home, you probably want ~/ instead
[08:11] <DavidCraft> m1r: menu.lst?
[08:11] <qw[togr] > zoidberg_, and you probably don't need to 'sudo' that command
[08:11] <unagi> sigh i swear ubuntu gets slower and slower for me everyday
[08:12] <m1r> /boot/grub/menu.lst
[08:12] <DavidCraft> right hold on...
[08:12] <astro76> zoidberg_, right, so just scp file.avi remoteuser@161.32.33.23:~/
[08:12] <Tomo_> IndyGunFreak,  i figured out what my problem was
[08:12] <zoidberg_> ok
[08:12] <zoidberg_> so this is what i tried now
[08:12] <zoidberg_> i'm in the local computer's directoyr where the file "file.avi" is lcoated
[08:12] <zoidberg_> i type
[08:13] <zoidberg_> scp file.avi remoteuser@161.32.234.666:~/
[08:13] <zoidberg_> that should work?
[08:13] <dvm> Howto increase the text size of CLIST contents in gtk?
[08:13] <zoidberg_> its not working for me

[08:14] <RabidWeezle> I shared a folder on the windows network and I can't see it....
[08:14] <astro76> then you're not typing the name right or it's not there, do ls and check... and tab completion helps too
[08:14] <hexstar> when compiling a kernel, you can just compile everything as a module if you want to be lazy right? :P
[08:15] <zoidberg_> forget it guys
[08:15] <zoidberg_> i got it
[08:15] <RabidWeezle> what I mean is, all the pc's on my network are all ubuntu now, BUT I can't seem to get smb shares to work
[08:15] <zoidberg_> never mind
[08:15] <unagi> is there anyway to get movie player to play iso?
[08:15] <RabidWeezle> it says it's shared, but it isn't
[08:15] <RabidWeezle> :/
[08:15] <zoidberg_> well i figured it out
[08:15] <m1r> rabidweezle ; smb://ip of pc
[08:15] <RabidWeezle> thanks
[08:15] <zoidberg_> i just wish there would be an easy way that i can just see the folders in gui?

[08:15] <zoidberg_> ?

[08:16] <zoidberg_> do i need to install a server for that?
[08:16] <hexstar> unagi: unless I suppose you could try using mount...
[08:16] <Tazbo> Nobody knows how to move grub to another drive? pffft
[08:16] <zoidberg_> does anyone know how to setup the XDMCP server thing?
[08:16] <hexstar> !xdmcp
[08:16] <ubotu> xdmcp is the X Display Manger Control Protocol -- look at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/XDMCP-HOWTO/ to find out how to configure it
[08:16] <astro76> zoidberg_, you can just connect to server... in nautilus
[08:17] <unagi> mount works to the effect that i can browse it like a dir but id like ubuntu to recognize it as a dvd
[08:17] <hexstar> unagi: yeah, unfortunately you'd need a way to emulate the mount point as a dvd drive
[08:17] <hexstar> it
[08:17] <hexstar> 'd be easier to just burn the iso to a dvd-r
[08:18] <gruelius> anyone able to give me tips on getting the monitor to go into standby? it flickers into standby then comes straight back on to the screensaver

[08:20] <hexstar> man this place is quiet tonight
[08:20] <hexstar> :(
[08:20] <diujkeh> somone help me ?
[08:20] <hexstar> what's your question diujkeh?
[08:20] <diujkeh> my install freezesa
[08:20] <stuart-> apt-get upgrade is downloading halfway, i'd like to resume later while installing the packages i've already downloaded now. is that possible?
[08:20] <hexstar> diujkeh: you'll need to provide more info such as error messages and what happens right before your install freezes
[08:20] <stuart-> or can i resume later? lightning storm is coming
[08:20] <diujkeh> when the cd finishes loading it gets to a tan screen a freezes
[08:21] <hexstar> start-: if you do a ctrl+c and type the same command in alter it should resume
[08:21] <hexstar> *stuart-
[08:21] <hexstar> diujkeh: sounds like the video card may not be supported
[08:21] <Tomo_> does anyone know how to get sound working... was working last time i used my computer.. turned it on today and isnt working
[08:21] <sue_> are the ubuntu repo's down?
[08:21] <hexstar> Tomo_: speakers plugged into right hole? speakers turned on? Is the sound in linux turned all the way up?
[08:21] <diujkeh> u kno theres a loading screen with the orange thing moving back and forth
[08:22] <Tomo_> hexstar,  check
[08:22] <Tomo_> very strange
[08:22] <diujkeh> once that is done theres a mouse pointer then it freezes
[08:22] <hexstar> Tomo_: hmm, indeed
[08:22] <stuart-> hexstar, even after shutting down?
[08:22] <Terrasque> Tomo_: did you install or uninstall anything, or change some admin settings last time you used the computer?
[08:22] <hexstar> stuart-: yeah it should
[08:22] <Tomo_> no no everyone was working pretty sweet and then no sound
[08:23] <diujkeh> does anyone kno y it freezes when i try to install ubuntu
[08:23] <hexstar> diujkeh: yeah, sounds like a video card incompatibility although that can be caused by bad ram too
[08:23] <diujkeh> dam i'm runing good ram
[08:23] <stuart-> hexstar, cool stuff. thanks
[08:23] <diujkeh> igot a ti4200 video card
[08:24] <DavidCraft> m1r: still around?  here it is:
[08:24] <DavidCraft> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31368/
[08:24] <m1r> sec
[08:24] <DavidCraft> thanks
[08:24] <hexstar> diujkeh: what I'd do is try downloading knoppix, a good live cd and see if the gui works on that live cd. If it does try redownloading the ubuntu iso as your copy may be corrupt, if it still doesn't work it's safe to assume the video card isn't supported by ubuntu
[08:25] <stuart-> diujkeh, and this should help you verify your .iso https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM
[08:25] <diujkeh> i did that already
[08:26] <diujkeh> i think its a video card issue
[08:26] <hexstar> diujkeh: unfortuantely that's quite likely
[08:26] <diujkeh> this sucks i didn't think you would need a crazy video card
[08:26] <diujkeh> gef4 isan't good enough
[08:26] <stuart-> haha antique geforce2 rocks
[08:26] <hexstar> diujkeh: you don't, but as with any free volunteer project we can't support every device out there
[08:27] <diujkeh> nvidia tho
[08:27] <bullgard4> How can I determine from what repository came my current DEB program package lftp version 3.5.11-1~feisty1?
[08:27] <m1r> davidcraft , seems like everything is ok in grub
[08:27] <unagi_> is there a way to emulate an .iso
[08:27] <tupa> unagi_ do a mount with the -o loop option
[08:28] <DavidCraft> *nods* so the system just doesnt want to boot?
[08:28] <DavidCraft> wierd...
[08:28] <tupa> bullgard4 ubuntu search packages perhaps?
[08:28] <DavidCraft> i mean i would think its a bad hard drive cept it installed fine and everythign seams to be here
[08:28] <diujkeh> anyone know how to install from usb
[08:28] <diujkeh> flash drive
[08:28] <hexstar> !info lftp
[08:28] <ubotu> lftp: Sophisticated command-line FTP/HTTP client programs. In component main, is optional. Version 3.5.6-1build1 (feisty), package size 368 kB, installed size 1396 kB
[08:28] <m1r> davidcraft , my kernel line:
[08:28] <hexstar> diujkeh: you mean install to?
[08:29] <m1r> root=/dev/mapper/user-root
[08:29] <diujkeh> nah
[08:29] <bullgard4> tupa: I do not understand your answer. What is meant by 'ubuntu search packages'?
[08:29] <m1r> yours is bit diferent but i think that isnt problem davidcraft
[08:29] <diujkeh> i wanna add the files to a usb to install
[08:29] <hexstar> diujkeh: be aware that even after installing a OS to a usb removable device you may not be able to boot from it unless your BIOS supports booting from usb removable devices
[08:29] <diujkeh> faster
[08:29] <desper>  Help regarding SRSS  i have this error "utauthd: main CONFIG_ERROR: AdminImpl:utjadmin.so or configuration error in /etc/opt/SUNWut/utadmin.conf"

[08:29] <DavidCraft> regairdless it should still GET to grub if the kernel line was messed up would it?
[08:30] <m1r> yes
[08:30] <hexstar> diujkeh: ah, you mean copy the install cd contents to the usb device...not sure how sorry
[08:30] <m1r> it should show grub error of some kind
[08:30] <DavidCraft> aye
[08:30] <stuart-> abit offtopic. just wanna rant a little that i'm feeling pissed that my gf has a tattoo of her ex's name. feels better telling that to strangers than friends. i'll bbl.
[08:30] <diujkeh> is indows vista any good
[08:30] <m1r> and grub looks bootable
[08:30] <DavidCraft> yah mine doesnt want to load grub at all
[08:30] <m1r> can u try set your hdd to secondary master ?
[08:30] <m1r> just for test
[08:31] <hexstar> diujkeh, you actually can do what you want: http://wiki.koeln.ccc.de/index.php?title=Ubuntu_USB_Install
[08:31] <DavidCraft> tried that
[08:31] <m1r> same ?
[08:31] <DavidCraft> no luck
[08:31] <DavidCraft> aye
[08:31] <unagi_> when i do mount -o ubuntu doesnt see it as a dvd
[08:31] <m1r> what controler is on MB ?
[08:31] <hexstar> poopy inc controller :D
[08:31] <m1r> :)
[08:31] <DavidCraft> hmm mabey ill install xp real quick and see if it will boot from that.   Its an old system... mabey its some wierd compatabiliuty issue with my HD
[08:31] <diujkeh> i don't have grub so i can't do that
[08:32] <m1r> davidcraft how old ?
[08:32] <DavidCraft> old athlon... (not even athlonxp)
[08:32] <hexstar> if it's pre 2000 old DavidCroft you should see if there is a 2000 or newer bios update
[08:32] <m1r> what MoBo ?
[08:32] <DavidCraft> uh...
[08:32] <m1r> motherboard
[08:32] <andruk> what does the /16 on the ip address mean in this command?  sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.0/16 -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE
[08:33] <hexstar> haha...DavidCraft has the mobo that requires manual specification of HD parameters :D
[08:33] <hexstar> j/k
[08:33] <m1r> not good hexstar :=
[08:33] <m1r> andruk i was also wondering that few days ago
[08:33] <DavidCraft> lol and im not sure of the MB... i cant tell from the open case >_<
[08:34] <bullgard4> What is meant with 'feisty-backports' in contrast to 'feisty' in http://packages.ubuntu.com/?
[08:34] <tupa> unagi_ its mount -o loop /path/to/my.iso /path/to/mount/point
[08:34] <tupa> unagi_ you forgot the loop argument
[08:34] <hexstar> andruk: I believe that means 192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255
[08:34] <unagi_> i know how to mount it but ubuntu doesnt see it as a dvd it sees it as a dir
[08:34] <CVD> its there away so mplyer always remember my default volume, cuz its always to high
[08:34] <tupa> unagi_ ah ok, so you mounted it
[08:35] <hexstar> !backports | bullgard4
[08:35] <ubotu> bullgard4: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging
[08:35] <tupa> unagi_ and what is "ubuntu doesnt see it as a dvd", when you insert a dvd into your CD drive it is mounted in some directory
[08:35] <m1r> davidcraft , did u try play with motherboard bios settings ?
[08:35] <DavidCraft> pcchips motherboard
[08:35] <hexstar> tupa: he's trying to play a dvd from a iso image
[08:35] <DavidCraft> yes
[08:35] <andruk> hexstar: know anywhere that would tell me for certain?
[08:36] <tupa> unagi_ open mplayer and tell it to load the .vob from the directory
[08:36] <m1r> davidcraft , is set to auto for hdd detection ?
[08:36] <hexstar> andruk: not off the top of my head sorry
[08:36] <DavidCraft> yes
[08:36] <unagi_> is it so much to ask to have ubuntu autoplay an iso as if it would a dvd?
[08:36] <Edulix>   I'm using port forward redirection along with htc, well the problem that it seems that the server (my home machine, I have root acces to it) only allows me to connect with one ssh sesion at a time, the other one just keeps waiting
[08:36] <andruk> hexstar: np dude, thanks
[08:36] <Edulix> I don't know why..
[08:36] <hexstar> andruk: np :)
[08:36] <DavidCraft> and and it detects it in bios and post
[08:36] <Edulix> I don't have configured such a limit at home
[08:36] <m1r> davidcraft, try manualy
[08:36] <andruk> hexstar, m1r : ill let you guys know if i find out
[08:36] <hexstar> andruk: ok great
[08:36] <m1r> ty andruk
[08:37] <takua108> Real fast question: I'm running Feisty and my Desktop Effects makes my window title bars disappear. I checked the "show in tray" box in GL Desktop, and...there's TWO icons in the tray. I've got an nVidia 6200, and I got the drivers from GetAutomatix2.
[08:37] <m1r> !automatix
[08:37] <ubotu> Automatix2 is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[08:37] <CVD> ?
[08:38] <unagi_> this really isnt a hard request
[08:38] <tupa> !WorksForMe
[08:38] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[08:38] <DavidCraft> iv never got a hard drive to work defining it manualy...
[08:38] <m1r> davidcraft , that is your 1st install of server on that hdd ?
[08:38] <takua108> ...the drivers work for 3D games on Ubuntu, just not the desktop effects...so it's not Automatix that's doing the problem
[08:39] <selig5> !worksforme
[08:39] <DavidCraft> m1r: yes, just bought it
[08:39] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[08:39] <m1r> davidcraft how big is hdd ?
[08:39] <DavidCraft> trying to set up a DNS
[08:39] <DavidCraft> 160 gig WD PATA
[08:39] <hexstar> andruk: http://pastebin.com/f731aef3
[08:39] <unagi_> does anyone here know how to emulate a .iso
[08:40] <DavidCraft> ATA 133
[08:40] <m1r> can your mobo support that hdd ?
[08:40] <AzMoo[w] > When I'm generating an ssh key am I supposed to do that on the client or the server?
[08:40] <m1r> i hope is not that old ?
[08:40] <DavidCraft> thats what Im worried about...
[08:40] <unagi_> wasnt the key to linux to 'do everything windows can only better'?
[08:40] <Edulix> noone knows what's happening?
[08:40] <Edulix> with ssh
[08:40] <DavidCraft> I may need to get a PCI IDE controler
[08:40] <m1r> davidcraft , check your mobo manual , or find website
[08:40] <CVD> and mplayer user here?
[08:40] <m1r> and see maximum it supports
[08:40] <hexstar> DavidCraft: get one, they are great
[08:40] <DavidCraft> but still... why would it be able to install on it if not supported?
[08:41] <m1r> good point
[08:41] <astro76> unagi_, I believe someone answered you, extract the iso, and use mplayer to open the .vob
[08:41] <hexstar> DavidCraft: why not check for a bios update for your mobo?
[08:41] <fred_> hello
[08:41] <unagi_> astro76: i believe i tired that and it doesnt work
[08:41] <zupb> hi,people
[08:41] <astro76> unagi_, it should
[08:41] <m1r> davidcraft , i would erase HDD and do one more try of complete install :/
[08:42] <unagi_> it plays the section of vob i open yes.....but how useful is that
[08:42] <DavidCraft> alright... and ill also look for a bios update.  But anyways thanks for the help.  If worse comes to worse ill just get a PCI controler
[08:42] <unagi_> the menus dont work
[08:42] <unagi_> how can something so simple not seem to be possible in linux
[08:43] <m1r> davidcraft , just be sure u instaled grub at end ;)
[08:43] <dystopianray> is au.archive.ubuntu.com not working for anyone else?
[08:43] <hexstar> unagi_: because nobody really wants to do what you're trying to do :P
[08:43] <unagi_> why wouldnt they
[08:43] <defcon> I have a good question, I would like to Regulate/Limit traffic of one of my computers on my wifi/lan network, how can I do this?
[08:43] <hexstar> unagi_: dvd burners and dvd-r media is cheap
[08:43] <defcon> Can I do this with ubuntu?
[08:43] <unagi_> dvd images are free
[08:43] <defcon> make ubuntu regulate bandwidth of other boxes?
[08:43] <unagi_> seems like a pretty common practice to mount a dvd to play the movie
[08:44] <hexstar> defcon: yes you can, http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=linux+throttle+bandwidth&btnG=Google+Search
[08:44] <DavidCraft> m1r: right, thanks
[08:44] <m1r> np , gl david
[08:44] <magnetron> defcon: you could regulate the traffic speed if the ubuntu box is the gateway
[08:44] <AnAnt> Hello, I got an HP Pavilion dv6391 laptop with AMD Turion X2 on it, I installed Feisty (x86 version) on it, the problem is that it randomly crashes when I issue commands on the terminal (or console), especially when a beep occurs, anyone knows a solution for this ?
[08:44] <unagi_> just tell me that its one more thing on my list that linux cant do that windows can and ill leave it at that
[08:45] <hexstar> AnAnt: what specific commands cause this issue?
[08:45] <m1r> unagi_ can i see that list ? :)
[08:45] <AnAnt> hexstar: no specific commands
[08:45] <tupa> unagi_ yes linux sucks -_-, too bad
[08:45] <AnAnt> hexstar: actually, it happens before the command starts
[08:45] <tupa> unagi_ you can tell totem to play the whole DVD I think that's what you are complaining about
[08:45] <hexstar> AnAnt: do you have anything else open when this happens?
[08:45] <brndn> when i login to my system using ssh, i get the big long "The programs included with the Ubunut system are free software..." message. how do i edit this?
[08:45] <astro76> unagi_, usually it's just a matter of finding the right software and configuration, apparently xine can do it: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=231922
[08:45] <unagi_> cant mount a dvd, cant easily convert .mov to image tga sequences
[08:45] <tupa> unagi_ I don't remember how to do it in mplayer, in totem you open a menu and play DVD
[08:45] <AnAnt> hexstar: for example, I write part of the command or argument, then I press TAB, this can cause a crash
[08:46] <hexstar> AnAnt: ah, that's bizarr...have you done an fsck?
[08:46] <m1r> unagi_ try gxine for dvd ?
[08:46] <AnAnt> hexstar: sometimes it happens when viewing output of less
[08:46] <astro76> unagi_, which is the first google result for "linux play dvd iso", or you could just come in here and be sarcastic, whatever you find more effective
[08:46] <kahrytan> unagi_: What do you want to do, exactly?
[08:46] <AnAnt> hexstar: yup, btw, this is a new installation
[08:46] <unagi_> im only sarcastic when you start talking astro76
[08:46] <astro76> unagi_, right.....
[08:47] <thetaleofcody>  can anyone help me out here? I'm on feisty with ATI...and when I run beryl, it causes my taskbar to disappear
[08:47] <hexstar> AnAnt: I would recommend trying a fsck, to do this follow these steps. While booted into linux: 1) Open a terminal session 2) Type in df -h 3) look on the right side for / under mount points 4) to the left in the same column look for the device name which'll be ?dev/something 5) boot off ubuntu install cd 6) open terminal session 7) type fsck -fy /dev/something
[08:47] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> i downloaded ubuntu 7.04...i have a blank cd inserted but i cannot get the image onto the cd
[08:47] <tupa> thetaleofcody, KDE?
[08:47] <thetaleofcody> tupa: gnome
[08:47] <m1r> pleasehelpubuntu , u in windows ?
[08:47] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> ubuntu
[08:48] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> older version i think
[08:48] <unimatrix9> pleasehelpubuntu is the cdrom to small?
[08:48] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> 700mb?
[08:48] <m1r> doubleclick on icon
[08:48] <unimatrix9> hmm, no thats ok
[08:48] <m1r> it should work
[08:48] <AnAnt> hexstar: this used to happen even during installation
[08:48] <defcon> hexstar,  megnetron I have my ubuntu box wifi and my other windows box I would like to regulate the bandwidth, that is connected directly to my belkins wireless router
[08:48] <AnAnt> hexstar: before reaching the stage of partitioning !
[08:48] <diujkeh> hekstart: mty video card is compatible
[08:48] <unimatrix9> pleasehelpubuntu apt-get install gnomebaker
[08:48] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> could anyone help me through it?
[08:48] <defcon> I would like my ubuntu to regulate that connection is it possible
[08:48] <m1r> pleasehelpubuntu , if not download brasero from getdeb.net
[08:48] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> i have gnomebaker
[08:48] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> i have brazero and gnomebacker
[08:49] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> baker*
[08:49] <m1r> use brasero
[08:49] <m1r> burn image thru it
[08:49] <hexstar> AnAnt: yes, that can be caused by a issue with the hard drive. Fsck will check for consistency errors and repair them if they exist, if there aren't any errors found by fsck I recommend doing a memory test as this could occurr due to faulty ram as well
[08:49] <unimatrix9> ok, then there is an option to butn cdrom images, and it should work?
[08:49] <unimatrix9> burn
[08:49] <unimatrix9> *
[08:49] <AnAnt> hexstar: I did fsck
[08:49] <hexstar> defcon: so you'd like to regulate the bandwidth for just that computer or other computers as well?
[08:49] <knoppix200712> thanks
[08:49] <defcon> just the windows box
[08:49] <T-Connect> Missing a file to run make. src/burner/unzip.c:11:18: error: zlib.h: No such file or directory
[08:49] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> it says there is no disk
[08:49] <diujkeh> hekstart: mty video card is compatible
[08:49] <hexstar> defcon: is the windows box connected to the ubuntu box?
[08:50] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> insert a recordable cd or dvd although im a 100% sure i have a new cd in it
[08:50] <hexstar> er in the same entwork?
[08:50] <defcon> hexstar, no, its connected to my wifi router with a cable
[08:50] <|thunder> how can I modify this fstab line to allow myself write access as a normal user ? /dev/sda1 /media/usb vfat defaults,rw,utf8,umask=077,gid=46 0 1
[08:50] <unimatrix9> pleasehelpubuntu ; it worked before?
[08:50] <tupa> thetaleofcody probably a nasty bug, try running gnome-panel (i think thats the command, don't use gnome anymore)
[08:50] <knoppix200712> is there any one use Zebra for routing ?
[08:50] <defcon> hexstar, its on the lan
[08:50] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> the dvd burner works, i used it a while back on windows to burn ubuntu onto a cd...but now it's not working and im stumpted
[08:51] <ShockValue> hi all.. im trying to find package   python-Levenshtein, but its not showin up in aptitude, and google is comign up empty for a deb package
[08:51] <ShockValue> anyone else know where to get?>
[08:51] <hexstar> defcon: ok, so what you'll need to do is make your ubuntu machine a proxy: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=linux+proxy+howto&btnG=Google+Search and then do the bandwidth limiting on the ubuntu machine: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=linux+throttle+bandwidth&btnG=Google+Search and you will need to configure the windows machine to connect to the internet through the ubuntu proxy
[08:51] <diujkeh> y does my install freeze hek?
[08:51] <defcon> hexstar, thankyou
[08:51] <hexstar> defcon: np :)
[08:51] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> says there is no disc in "HL-DT-ST DVD+RW GCA-4040N
[08:51] <T-Connect> Good night.
[08:51] <unimatrix9> pleasehelpubuntu : try an reboot, dont know whats wrong...
[08:51] <defcon> hexstar, you rock, you made my day a little better :D
[08:51] <hexstar> defcon: :)
[08:51] <thetaleofcody> tupa: so just go to the terminal and type in gnome-panel?
[08:52] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> reboot?
[08:52] <m1r> pleasehelpubuntu , are u sure your burner working in ubuntu ?
[08:52] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> i burned a dvd earlier today
[08:52] <hexstar> PleaseHelpUbuntu: that can be caused by cheap media, what brand is that media?
[08:52] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> with tovid
[08:52] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> sony
[08:52] <tupa> thetaleofcody ehrm do a ps -e | grep panel
[08:52] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> and my dvd's are ridata
[08:52] <sciboy> Anyone know if there is a way to have NetworkManager to not automatically connect to the network on startup?
[08:52] <tupa> thetaleofcody what does it return (Im taking a guess you have a panel right now)
[08:52] <m1r> pleasehelpubuntu, try put dvd in it ?
[08:52] <hexstar> PleaseHelpUbuntu: hmm...have you had the dvd's for a long time? Dvd-r's can rot after some time
[08:53] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> k
[08:53] <|thunder> sciboy; comment out the auto part from /etc/network/interfaces
[08:53] <Tomo_> anyone know how to get VLC and compiz working together?
[08:53] <Tomo_> got my sound working btw
[08:53] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> no they are brand new both my cds and dvds bought the last week
[08:53] <hexstar> PleaseHelpUbuntu: you might want to try buying some cd drive lens cleaning kit as the lens may be dirty
[08:53] <sciboy> |thunder: You realise that NetworkManager doesn't use that at all?
[08:53] <thetaleofcody> tupa:  5361 ?        00:00:02 gnome-panel
[08:53] <magnetron> Tomo_: what's the problem?
[08:53] <unimatrix9> is gutsy alpha 3 the latest release?
[08:53] <|thunder> sciboy; you are wrong
[08:53] <hexstar> PleaseHelpUbuntu: but first make sure the drive is securely connected
[08:54] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> says insert a recordable cd or dvd
[08:54] <sciboy> |thunder: Then explain the fact that my network/interfaces is empty excusing the loopback.
[08:54] <Tomo_> magnetron,  well if i use beryl or compiz then video doesnt display in VLC
[08:54] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> i have a laptop
[08:54] <tupa> thetaleofcody ok, then you try beryl and open gnome-panel
[08:54] <Tomo_> or any other media player
[08:54] <compengi> unimatrix9, join #ubuntu+1 and read the topic there or check the schedule
[08:54] <tupa> thetaleofcody also you can start apps using ALT-
[08:54] <m1r> pleasehelpubuntu, u put dvd inside dvdr ?
[08:54] <tupa> ALT-
[08:54] <unimatrix9> ok
[08:54] <unimatrix9> thank you
[08:54] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> yes sir
[08:54] <magnetron> Tomo_: strange. try asking in #ubuntu-effects
[08:54] <hexstar> PleaseHelpUbuntu: ok, then try buying one of those cd cleaning kits, it's probably dirty
[08:54] <tupa> thetaleofcody sorry, ALT+F2
[08:54] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> i put a dvd and i get the same error
[08:54] <m1r> what it saying ?
[08:54] <magnetron> !enter
[08:54] <ubotu> Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[08:55] <m1r> it seems it is not accepting it as burner pleasehelpubuntu :/
[08:55] <Davy_Jones> Tomo_: what would prevent VLC from working under beryl
[08:55] <Tomo_> i mean i spose i could turn it off when i watch movies and such but i dont know why i have the best of both worlds :)
[08:55] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> i get: There is no disc in "HL-DT-ST DVD+RW GCA-4040N"
[08:55] <Tomo_> Davy_Jones,  no idea.. they just dont like each other
[08:55] <|thunder> Davy_Jones; go ask in #compiz-fusion
[08:55] <magnetron> Tomo_: it should work, try asking in #ubuntu-effects
[08:55] <Tomo_> will do
[08:55] <thetaleofcody> tupa: thought it was working for a second
[08:55] <hexstar> PleaseHelpUbuntu: try buying a cd cleaning kit
[08:55] <m1r> pleasehelpubuntu , it seems your rw drive is not detected as burner
[08:56] <tupa> thetaleofcody, so you opened it and crashed?
[08:56] <m1r> if both cd and dvd not working ...
[08:56] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> hmm...is there anyway to get it to detect it as a burner...cuz im positive it's not a cleaning issue, it was working flawlessly when i burned dvd's earlier today
[08:56] <thetaleofcody> tupa: no I opened beryl and all the effect changed, but my taskbars disappeared again
[08:56] <m1r> try reboot pleasehelpubuntu
[08:56] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> ok
[08:57] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> will do
[08:57] <hexstar> PleaseHelpUbuntu: when you put in a cd/dvd do you here it spin up?
[08:57] <PleaseHelpUbuntu> yup
[08:57] <thetaleofcody> tupa: I tried killall gnome-panel
[08:57] <tupa> thetaleofcody, so did you executed the gnome-panel as I suggested?
[08:57] <hexstar> PleaseHelpUbuntu: A reboot would probably be a good idea, other then that I'd try reseating the drive and then swapping it with another known good one
[08:58] <Tama00> whats 20% of 1400?
[08:58] <hexstar> Tama00: 1400*0.2

[09:01] <Jordan_U> de2sp, #compiz-fusion
[09:01] <tupa> thetaleofcody np, maybe you didn't killed it correctly? did you tried it with sudo?
[09:01] <de2sp> actually, things are looking dimm now, had to reboot the computer twice now
[09:01] <Jordan_U> tupa, Killing gnome-panel should not need sudo
[09:01] <thetaleofcody> tupa: like: "sudo gnome-panel"
[09:01] <Jordan_U> tupa, or starting it :)
[09:02] <unagi_> none of the things the posts suggest is working
[09:02] <hexstar> check ps again, maybe gnome-panel auto relaunched itself
[09:02] <thetaleofcody> tupa: or "sudo killall gnome-panel"
[09:02] <Jordan_U> tupa, thetaleofcody Don't do either of those yet
[09:02] <unagi_>  sigh
[09:02] <magnetron> de2sp: #ubuntu-effects
[09:02] <thetaleofcody> jordan_U: mmk
[09:02] <hexstar> why don't you just restart tupa?
[09:03] <Jordan_U> tupa, thetaleofcody Just adding sudo to commands you don't know well is a bad idea, especially when they are GUI programs you should at *least* use gksudo
[09:03] <tupa> hexstar is having the problem, when he runs beryl, gnome panel unhides
[09:03] <hexstar> tupa: oh
[09:03] <Jordan_U> tupa, What is running it as root going to help?
[09:03] <tupa> hides*
[09:04] <unagi_> 'format not recognized'
[09:04] <hexstar> I myself have found beryl to not be all that stable...better to just use none 3d interface
[09:04] <m1r> how can i block editing of taskbar ?
[09:04] <unagi_> does anyone here know how to play a dvd .iso from the hardrive?
[09:04] <thetaleofcody> jordan_U: okay...so I should maybe try "gksudo killall gnome-panel"
[09:04] <Frogzoo> !iso | unagi_
[09:04] <ubotu> unagi_: To mount an ISO disc image, type  sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint>  - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[09:04] <tupa> Jordan_U and what does running gksudo instead of sudo going to help -_-?
[09:04] <unagi_> round and round we go
[09:04] <hexstar> !MD5
[09:04] <ubotu> To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows
[09:05] <Jordan_U> tupa, Keep him from breaking permissions so he can no longer log in
[09:05] <unagi_> sudo mount -o loop doesnt do what im looking to do
[09:05] <Jordan_U> !gksudo | tupa
[09:05] <ubotu> tupa: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use  gksudo , as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Avoid ever using  sudo <GUI-application>  See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo for more info
[09:05] <de0xyrib0se> unagi_ what are you looking to do
[09:05] <unagi_> or ok.....fine i mounted the image.....how do you play the dvd
[09:05] <unagi_> how to play a dvd .iso from the hardrive?
[09:05] <hexstar> unagi_: is this what you're looking for? http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=384271
[09:05] <bullgard4> hexstar: The website https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports which you recommended, has a headline: "What are Backports". But in the section following it is not explained what Ubuntu considers backports to be. Please tell me with your own words what backports are.
[09:06] <Jordan_U> thetaleofcody, killall is not a gui application so it doesn't need gksudo ( though it can't hurt ) and it shouldn't need sudo unless gnome-panel is running as a user other than you ( which it shouldn't be )
[09:06] <tupa> Jordan_U ???,
[09:06] <de0xyrib0se> first time i hear killall doesnt need su
[09:06] <Jordan_U> tupa, "???" ? :)
[09:07] <hexstar> bullgard4: backports are basically older program versions
[09:07] <jk-> hey folks
[09:07] <de0xyrib0se> i guess if you are killing only your own processes
[09:07] <tupa> Jordan_U I don't see it as an issue, perhaps just if someone is dumb enough to run "all" applications with sudo
[09:07] <bullgard4> hexstar: Thank you very much for explaining.
[09:07] <hexstar> bullgard4: you're welcome :)
[09:07] <Jordan_U> bullgard4, backports are newer versions of packages made to work with older versions of Ubuntu
[09:08] <hexstar> Jordan_U: oh, oops
[09:08] <jk-> i'm using the alternate installer, and have specified a custom mirror URL, but it seems to be downloading from a different mirror. is there any way to get it to not do this?
[09:08] <bullgard4> Jordan_U: Your definition differs from hexstar's
[09:08] <Quinton_> When I boot ubuntu after the install it goes to a black screen (I can still hear system sounds) how would I fix this problem?
[09:08] <m1r> jk- edit /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[09:08] <hexstar> bullgard4: I think that one is right actually, I was referring to a different distro which does it differeently sorry
[09:08] <darkfena313> how do i install software thats not part of the apps manager?
[09:09] <hexstar> darkfena313: apt-get install packagename
[09:09] <daniele_982> hello all i've a video card nvidia geforce 8400M GT GPU but it not found.i've tried with nvidia-glx nvidia-glx-new e .run someone can help me?
[09:09] <jk-> m1r: no can do - i'm in the installer, have no shell at the moment. :(
[09:09] <unagi_> none of those posts are working for me
[09:09] <Jordan_U> darkfena313, Depends on the application, what are you trying to install?
[09:09] <de0xyrib0se> darkfena313 is it packaged at all or is it sources?
[09:09] <unagi_> scratch that
[09:09] <unagi_> it worked
[09:09] <hexstar> jk-: you can get a terminal by doing ctrl+alt+fx
[09:09] <jk-> hexstar: not on a serial console
[09:09] <bullgard4> hexstar: Using your explanations, I will continue researching.
[09:09] <m1r> jk- ; ctrl+alt+f1
[09:09] <Carter> Can somone help me set up wireless on my laptop? I have a fresh ubuntu install and I don't know what to do
[09:09] <jk-> m1r: see above
[09:09] <de0xyrib0se> darkfena313 google the software's website you will find instructions how to compile/install it on your distro
[09:09] <darkfena313> goofle earth
[09:10] <m1r> ah sry
[09:10] <EvilDin> hi,how can i install php, so that i can use command php in console
[09:10] <darkfena313> oops
[09:10] <darkfena313> google
[09:10] <thetaleofcody> Jordan_U: well I tried the gksudu on it seemed as though things may have reset, but still the same outcome, my beryl is running and all but still no task bar
[09:10] <Jordan_U> Carter, Do you know the chipset of your card
[09:10] <Carter> yes, one moment
[09:10] <hexstar> EvilDin: sudo apt-get install php
[09:10] <Quinton_> When I boot ubuntu after the install it goes to a black screen (I can still hear system sounds) how would I fix this problem?
[09:10] <jk-> EvilDin: apt-get install php5-cgi
[09:10] <dystopianray> EvilDin: sudo apt-get install php5-cli
[09:10] <Jordan_U> darkfena313, They have an installer IIRC, there is also a package for it somewhere
[09:10] <EvilDin> yes but it doesn't workl command php
[09:10] <jk-> evildin: you need php-cgi
[09:11] <Carter> Jordan_U: my card is Broadcom BCM94306 802.11 b/g
[09:11] <hexstar> EvilDin: are you sure? it should work just by typing and pressing enter php
[09:11] <dystopianray> EvilDin: you need php5-cli
[09:11] <de0xyrib0se> actually php-cgi might not work from command line
[09:11] <hexstar> !info php
[09:11] <ubotu> Package php does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[09:11] <jk-> sorry, cli :)
[09:11] <daniele_982> no solve???help me please
[09:11] <Jordan_U> Carter, Try connecting wired and installing the package "bcm43xx-fwcutter"
[09:11] <Quinton_> When I boot ubuntu after the install it goes to a black screen (I can still hear system sounds) how would I fix this problem?
[09:11] <EvilDin> aha thanks it works now

[09:11] <Carter> apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter     ?
[09:11] <hexstar> desper: what's SRSS?
[09:12] <hexstar> carter: su apt-get install packagename
[09:12] <hexstar> you need the sudo
[09:12] <hexstar> (sudo, not su sorry)
[09:12] <Quinton_> hexstar: er... nvidia...
[09:12] <unagi_> great gxine does what i want but there are no media controls or menu controls
[09:12] <unagi_> this really is annoyign
[09:12] <Jordan_U> Carter, Yes, make sure you have universe enabled
[09:12] <Carter> universe?
[09:12] <de0xyrib0se> its not a bad idea to do apt-get update occasionally before doing install
[09:13] <Jordan_U> unagi_, You might want totem-xine depending on what exactly you are trying to do
[09:13] <de0xyrib0se> Carter look at your apt sources make sure universe is not commented out
[09:13] <Carter> I need to go all the wya downstairs to get on a wired connection. I'm going to hop on IRC from there on the laptop in question

[09:14] <Jordan_U> Quinton_, You could carefully install ssh if you have another computer to connect to it
[09:14] <de0xyrib0se> Quinton_ just get another video card and reinstall
[09:14] <jared> guys im trying to compile wbar. when i do make install as root, it says i need to be root

[09:14] <Jordan_U> Quinton_, You would have to blindly login and type the command correctly though
[09:14] <jared> WTF?
[09:14] <de0xyrib0se> by the time someone explains what to do and you do it...
[09:14] <jared> can someon help please
[09:14] <hexstar> jared: huh?
[09:14] <Quinton_> jordan_u: thats not to hard....
[09:15] <hexstar> jared: try sudo make install
[09:15] <Quinton_> jordan_u: just wouldnt know how to get a command prompt up

[09:16] <Jordan_U> Quinton_, Your user name <enter> your password
[09:16] <capitalidea> sound stopped working on flash
[09:16] <hexstar> jared: that's weird...sounds like the source configuration is messed up. This can happen if the source hasn't been updated in a long time as new versions of gcc tend to break older sources
[09:16] <desper> hexstar: u have some idea about that ??
[09:16] <musikgoat|laptop> sorry Jordan_U
[09:16] <Jordan_U> musikgoat|laptop, np :)
[09:16] <Quinton_> jordan_u after ctrl alt f1?

[09:16] <hexstar> desper: yes they are a provider
[09:16] <capitalidea> AMD64, latest Firefox, I used kilz script for flash...

[09:16] <capitalidea> and after recompiling alsa sound doesnt work for flash
[09:17] <capitalidea> but works for alsa programs
[09:17] <Jordan_U> Quinton_, maybe "cat /dev/urandom | aplay" to make sure you are logged in ( it should play white noise ctrl+c to stop it )
[09:17] <capitalidea> wtf :/
[09:17] <hexstar> capitalidea: you shouldn't have to compile and install alsa..
[09:17] <desper> hexstar: i know they are provider but i need help regarding installation
[09:17] <sp4m> hey, i edit my xorg.conf and forgot to save a backup >.< enter the wrong busid for my vidcard, anyway to edit it in text mode?
[09:17] <magnetron> capitalidea: you used a script? why not just use synaptic
[09:17] <capitalidea> hexstar: tell that to snd-hda-intel users
[09:17] <hexstar> desper: this isn't a sun java thin client support channel
[09:17] <capitalidea> magnetron: synaptic doesn have flash 9 for AMD64
[09:17] <Jordan_U> sp4m, sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf or...
[09:17] <Optimus55> sp4m: use sudo nano
[09:18] <Jordan_U> !xconfig | sp4m

[09:18] <jared> now i get make: *** No rule to make target `install'.  Stop.
[09:18] <magnetron> capitalidea: you use amd64? i'm surprised that you get any flash at all
[09:18] <desper> hexstar: but iam trying to install on ubuntu that's why iam hare
[09:18] <daniele_982> hello all i've a video card nvidia geforce 8400M GT GPU but it not found.i've tried with nvidia-glx nvidia-glx-new e .run someone can help me?
[09:18] <hexstar> jared: did you read the readme file?
[09:18] <jared> any ideas?
[09:18] <Quinton_> jordan_u: so from what you said im in the panel after name and pass and after ctrl alt f1
[09:18] <jared> yes
[09:18] <sp4m> thanks
[09:18] <jared> it says to do make as user
[09:18] <Quinton_> jordan_u: now what?
[09:18] <Jordan_U> !flash64 > magnetron
[09:18] <jared> make install as root

[09:19] <Quinton_> jordan_u: now type what?
[09:19] <hexstar> capitalidea: is it on a seperate partition?
[09:19] <capitalidea> preferably using aptitude to do the switch
[09:19] <capitalidea> hexstar: no
[09:19] <jared> it still tells me i need to be root hexstar
[09:20] <Jordan_U> Quinton_, Ok, ctrl+c to stop it and run "sudo apt-get install ssh" < enter > your password <enter > and wait :)
[09:20] <mulaa> Jordan_U: hmm okk ty :)
[09:20] <jared>                 echo "You must be root to install"; \
[09:20] <hexstar> jared: sorry, unsure what you need to do
[09:20] <jared> :(
[09:20] <hexstar> jared: email the package maintainer
[09:20] <hexstar> sounds like a bug
[09:20] <gordonjcp> jared: and are you root?
[09:20] <Quinton_> jordan_u: will my display liek magically pop up?
[09:21] <djkorn_> anyone tried Gutsy?
[09:21] <Jordan_U> Quinton_, No, you will have to connect remotely from another computer, then you can get output at least
[09:21] <Jordan_U> djkorn_, I am running it, #ubuntu+1 for Gutsy
[09:21] <unagi_> anyone know how to mount an .iso so that mplayer sees it as a dvd
[09:21] <hexstar> Quinton_ it won't be gui
[09:21] <Quinton_> jordan_u: uhm... how do i connect remotly to another computer?
[09:22] <novato_br> hi, good morning! How can I take off the Manager Network icon from gnome taskbar tray ?
[09:22] <Jordan_U> Quinton_, ssh username@ip
[09:22] <gordonjcp> Quinton_: what exactly are you trying to do?
[09:22] <djkorn_> Jordan_U, thanks.
[09:22] <Quinton_> gordonjcp: when i boot ubuntu I have no display
[09:22] <gordonjcp> Quinton_: none at all?
[09:23] <Jordan_U> gordonjcp, His monitor isn't showing anything, I figured getting ssh to work would at least let us have some interaction
[09:23] <Quinton_> gordonjcp: no
[09:23] <gordonjcp> Jordan_U: yeah, but Ubuntu doesn't install sshd by default
[09:23] <hexstar> isn't ipfw on ubuntu?
[09:23] <Jordan_U> gordonjcp, He installed it blind from a tty :) ( hopefully it worked )
[09:23] <Quinton_> jordan_u: i used a text based installer too because graphical fails
[09:23] <Optimus55> whats ssh really about btw? how do i get the room bot to explain again?
[09:23] <jk-> openssh-server
[09:23] <kraut> moin
[09:23] <hexstar> !ssh
[09:24] <ubotu> SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[09:24] <andruk> Quinton_: whta video card do you have?
[09:24] <Optimus55> thnx :)
[09:24] <Quinton_> andrunk: nvidia
[09:24] <hexstar> Optimus55: np :), to use the bot do !keyword
[09:24] <gordonjcp> Quinton_: you've got some other problem then
[09:24] <novato_br> somebody knows?
[09:24] <Jordan_U> Quinton_, Actually, do you see anything at boot at all?
[09:24] <gordonjcp> Quinton_: what *exactly* happens when you boot Ubuntu?
[09:24] <Quinton_> gordonjcp: it never installed x interface on my graphical install that always failed
[09:24] <unagi_> !mountdvd
[09:24] <hexstar> novato_br: what?
[09:24] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mountdvd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:24] <Carter> ok my laptop is downstars updating, so I'll be back in a little bit :P
[09:24] <Jordan_U> !msgthebot > unagi_
[09:25] <novato_br> hexstar, How can I take off the Manager Network icon from gnome taskbar tray ?
[09:25] <Quinton_> gordonjcp: i hear the noices and have no picture....
[09:25] <hexstar> oh sorry not sure
[09:25] <unagi_> anyone know how to mount an .iso so that mplayer sees it as a dvd
[09:25] <gordonjcp> Quinton_: right, so it gets as far as actually starting X?
[09:25] <gordonjcp> you just can't see it?
[09:25] <daniele_982> hello all i've a video card nvidia geforce 8400M GT GPU but it not found.i've tried with nvidia-glx nvidia-glx-new e .run someone can help me?
[09:25] <Quinton_> gordonjcp: i guess...?
[09:26] <hexstar> unagi: didn't you see the post about doing dvd://location/to/image.iso in certain media players???
[09:26] <gordonjcp> Quinton_: ok... is this on the installer CD or have you got it installed to hard disk?
[09:26] <unagi_> doesnt work for mplayer
[09:26] <Quinton_> gordonjcp: its now on harddisk... I have it on cd too though
[09:26] <gordonjcp> unagi_: you just point mplayer at the iso and it will make sense of it
[09:26] <gordonjcp> Quinton_: ok, did the installer work correctly?
[09:27] <unagi> Totem could not play 'file:///home/unagi/Desktop/SUPERMAN_RETURNS.ISO'. There is no plugin to handle this movie.
[09:27] <Quinton_> gordonjcp: how would I know?, it just installed it and now I dont have picture.
[09:27] <gordonjcp> Quinton_: well, when you were installing could you see things?
[09:27] <hexstar> you need the codecs unagi: http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/DVD-HOWTO.html
[09:27] <Quinton_> gordonjcp: its textmode so of course I could... graphical live cd would not work... it said cannot access tty and job control turned off
[09:28] <gordonjcp> ah, you used textmode
[09:28] <Quinton_> mhm
[09:28] <mabus> I just installed ubuntu. I did an apt-get update and apt-get upgrade, and it wants to update the kernel but it's held back? why?
[09:28] <gordonjcp> Quinton_: uhm, right, you've got some other weird problem then
[09:28] <mabus> linux-server and linux-image-server
[09:28] <Jordan_U> unagi, totem-gstreamer cannot play DVD's I recommend vlc ( you will need libdvdcss also )
[09:28] <Quinton_> gordonjcp: because linux suse worked.... but ubuntu isnt
[09:28] <unagi> vlc is weird with dvds
[09:28] <unagi> for example if i try to forward to another chapter it restarts the dvd
[09:28] <gordonjcp> Quinton_: NVidia is supported perfectly in Linux, by both the open-source drivers (with some limitations) and the binary drivers
[09:29] <gordonjcp> Quinton_: so something else is going wrong
[09:29] <musikgoat|laptop> Quinton_: which nvidia series?
[09:29] <andruk> mabus: do you have a server?
[09:29] <gordonjcp> Quinton_: when you boot up, what exactly happens?  Do you see the BIOS screen?  Do you see the splash screens?
[09:29] <mabus> andruk: yes
[09:29] <Quinton_> gordonjcp: yeah i see splash and bios... nothing else
[09:29] <gordonjcp> cool
[09:29] <gordonjcp> ok
[09:29] <djkorn_> is gutsy fixed the broadcom driver thing
[09:30] <Jordan_U> Quinton_, Ahh if you see spash then you can get to a terminal!
[09:30] <gordonjcp> still puzzled as to why you couldn't get the GUI installer to work
[09:30] <Admiral_laptop> i'm running nano in a terminal. If i hit F11 in a different terminal like yakuake, i would get the line i'm on. this doesn't happen in the default gnome terminal. any idea how to get this to work?
[09:30] <unagi> Jordan_U: any more ideas...........i feel like we are getting closer?
[09:30] <chrisellis> gnea you there?
[09:30] <andruk> mabus: sry, i dont mean to ask stupid questions, but there seem to be fewer and fewer server admins on this channel
[09:30] <gordonjcp> Quinton_: if you press <CTRL><ALT><F1> you can get a terminal
[09:30] <gaminggeek> hello
[09:30] <Jordan_U> Quinton_, reboot and press escape at boot to see the grub menu and go to the recovery mode option
[09:30] <hexstar> andruk: I run a server
[09:30] <andruk> mabus: which package manager are you using?
[09:30] <gaminggeek> ubuntu thinks that my new usb pendrive is a mp3player
[09:30] <Quinton_> jordan_u: okey doke
[09:30] <mabus> andruk: apt-get
[09:31] <Jordan_U> gordonjcp, We did that, he didn't see anything but we hopefully installed ssh from there.
[09:31] <gordonjcp> gaminggeek: why do you think that?
[09:31] <Jordan_U> Quinton_, Try to shutdown from a command, not force reboot
[09:31] <Jordan_U> Quinton_, "sudo reboot"
[09:31] <gaminggeek> gordonjcp, because it does
[09:31] <hexstar> to shutdown in terminal ...sudo shutdown -Ph now
[09:31] <unagi> Totem could not play 'file:///home/unagi/Desktop/SUPERMAN_RETURNS.ISO'. There is no plugin to handle this movie.............where can i find this plugin?
[09:31] <gordonjcp> gaminggeek: because it does what?
[09:31] <andruk> mabus: *smacks forehead*  right.  im surprised it didnt tell you why not.
[09:31] <mabus> andruk: I think I got it... manually install the packages?
[09:31] <sp4m> when i startx.. fatal IO error 104 (connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0"
[09:31] <Quinton_> jordan_u: yeah ok now type what in recovery?
[09:31] <Admiral_laptop> ah i have to fullscreen it and then it works
[09:32] <mabus> andruk: why's that? should I not be upgrading it? I'm in the process
[09:32] <gaminggeek> gordonjcp, has an mp3player icon and pops up rythembox
[09:32] <GaryJones> I AM TEH SEX0R BIATCHES AND I NEED HELPZ0R
[09:32] <Jordan_U> Quinton_, I don't quite know yet but at least we will have some interaction
[09:32] <gordonjcp> gaminggeek: does it have mp3s on it?
[09:32] <andruk> mabus: yeah, that would prolly work, but you really shouldnt have to do that...
[09:32] <Optimus55> how do i bring down an interface in command line? like ppp0?
[09:32] <gaminggeek> nope
[09:32] <varka> !language | GaryJones
[09:32] <gaminggeek> its new
[09:32] <gordonjcp> gaminggeek: that's a bit strange
[09:32] <Jordan_U> GaryJones, Please calm down, this is a support channel
[09:32] <jk-> sudo ifdown ppp0 ?
[09:32] <gaminggeek> indeed it is
[09:32] <ubotu> GaryJones: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[09:32] <Quinton_> jordan_u: uhm alrighty... but i think the x graphical interface just doesnt load
[09:32] <jk-> or, for ppp interfaces, sudo poff ppp0
[09:32] <jk-> ^ Optimus55
[09:33] <andruk> mabus: especially not with a kernel...
[09:33] <gordonjcp> gaminggeek: does it do it with all cards?
[09:33] <Optimus55> oh okay thanks
[09:33] <sp4m> when i startx.. fatal IO error 104 (connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0"
[09:33] <Jordan_U> Quinton_, That is the strange part, for you to hear the sounds X must have started
[09:33] <gaminggeek> not with my dads pendrive
[09:33] <mabus> andruk: well I did, and it said it updated the initramfs and grub, I'm hoping it's fine
[09:33] <Quinton_> jordan_u: the sounds dont start the second time i try to start ubuntu only the first lol
[09:33] <hexstar> GaryJones: what do you need help with?
[09:33] <andruk> mabus: well, good luck
[09:34] <Quinton_> jordan_u: like on a fresh install i always hear the system sounds and see no picture.... when i reboot sounds are gone too
[09:34] <Jordan_U> Quinton_, By second time do you mean booting from the recovery menu?
[09:34] <Quinton_> jordan_u: no
[09:34] <hexstar> !whois me

[09:36] <daniele_982> hello all i've a big problem with nvidia geforce 8400M GT it not found someone can help me?????
[09:36] <cwraig> Hi all i have windows and ubuntu dual boot (grub) but i would like to be able to use this windows install in a virtual environment, but still keep the option to boot it native  if i needed to
[09:36] <andruk> chrisellis: what video card do you have?
[09:36] <chrisellis> ati radeon 9250
[09:37] <Jordan_U> cwraig, I have never don it but in #vmware the topic says it is possible but for advanced users only
[09:37] <GaryJones> IS UBUNTU BETA TAN WINDOZE?
[09:37] <Jordan_U> !ops
[09:37] <ubotu> Help! Mez, LjL, elkbuntu, imbrandon, DBO, gnomefreak, Hobbsee, rob, ompaul, Madpilot, Burgundavia, Seveas, CarlK, crimsun, ajmitch, tritium, Nalioth, thoreauputic, apokryphos, tonyyarusso, PriceChild, Amaranth, jrib, jenda, nixternal, Myrtti or mneptok
[09:37] <crdlb> chrisellis, that card is not supported by the restricted driver
[09:37] <chrisellis> crdlb what do i do ?
[09:37] <hexstar> GaryJones: of course it is
[09:37] <crdlb> chrisellis, use the open source driver
[09:37] <andruk> chrisellis: then you prolly dont need the proprietary drivers.  i had a radeon 9000 pro, and i didnt need them.  i take it youre trying to get beryl working?
[09:38] <crdlb> chrisellis, it provides full 3d support
[09:38] <andruk> GaryJones: if it wasnt we all wouldnt be using it.
[09:38] <sp4m> when i startx.. fatal IO error 104 (connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0" any help?
[09:38] <Quinton_> jordan_u: im waiting...
[09:38] <cwraig> Jordan_U thakns ill have a look i thought it would only boot images i didnt look to deep at vmware tho
[09:38] <daniele_982> hello all i've a big problem with nvidia geforce 8400M GT it not found someone can help me?????

[09:38] <chrisellis> crdlb the problem the cube the 3dfx work fine but when i tye its really laggy and when i turn off beryl/desktop effects it runsfine
[09:39] <daniele_982> Myrtti: ok but i'm disperated
[09:39] <crdlb> chrisellis, no idea, but there's no other driver to use
[09:39] <Jordan_U> Quinton_, Ok, well make sure that ssh is installed now
[09:39] <daniele_982> Myrtti: 2 days of war but it not found
[09:39] <chrisellis> crdlb do you think it could be a ram issue?
[09:39] <Quinton_> jordan_u: how so?
[09:39] <Jeremy23> chrisellis: What do you mean by '3dfx'?
[09:39] <crdlb> chrisellis, probably not, when you say cube, do you mean beryl or compiz?
[09:39] <Jeremy23> you mean '3d effects'?
[09:39] <Jordan_U> Quinton_, run apt-get install ssh
[09:40] <jk-> the ssh client is already installed, you probably want openssh-server
[09:40] <chrisellis> i dont know the difference between compiz and beryl cause i thought you have to turn on desktop effects to get beryl to work
[09:40] <kahrytan> hello
[09:40] <chrisellis> but by 3dfx i mean the windows fading the wobbly windows etc..
[09:40] <Quinton_> jordan_u: gotta get my disk....
[09:40] <Jordan_U> !hi | kahrytan
[09:40] <ubotu> kahrytan: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[09:40] <Jordan_U> Quinton_, ?
[09:40] <hexstar> GaryJones: you're not much of a troll :P
[09:40] <kahrytan> Jordan_U: You gonna let some bot speak for you?
[09:41] <Jeremy23> chrisellis: You should probably avoid using the term '3dfx'.

[09:41] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about yeshewill - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:41] <Madpilot> hexstar, the troll left a while ago...
[09:41] <andruk> kahrytan: what is your problem?
[09:41] <Jordan_U> kahrytan, I figure a welcome from ubotu is like a welcome from all of us :)
[09:41] <chrisellis> oh okay sorry
[09:41] <Quinton_> jordan_u: it asked for the feisty cd
[09:41] <chrisellis> but can someone explain the compiz and beryl for me?
[09:41] <kahrytan>  I dont have a problem
[09:42] <holycow> !beryl

[09:42] <kahrytan> Looking to see if there is a problem I can solve
[09:42] <Jordan_U> Quinton_, OK, I don't think ssh is on the CD so we should take the CD option out of your sources.list so it grabs stuff from the internet
[09:42] <andruk> kahrytan: what does the "/16" mean in this command: sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.0/16 -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE   ?
[09:43] <Tama00> neato i found a glitch in mr linux
[09:43] <Jordan_U> Quinton_, run "nano /etc/apt/sources.list" and commend out the line mentioning the CD
[09:43] <hexstar> andruk: http://pastebin.com/f731aef3
[09:43] <chrisellis> so i dont need desktop effects enabled to get beryl to work
[09:43] <kahrytan> andruk: Whats the ip address?
[09:43] <Tama00> can someone link me to a bug reporting webpage
[09:43] <PWill> NautilNautilus turned into a zombie process, and I can't kill it, even with kill -9. I don't want to restart my computer because I can't start Nautilus. Help.
[09:43] <Tama00> cause i can reproduce it
[09:43] <hexstar> Tama00: bugzilla.com
[09:44] <andruk> hexstar: sry, that page came up blank awhile ago.  now its working.  :-)
[09:44] <hexstar> PWill: sudo killall NautilNautilus?
[09:44] <hexstar> andruk: ah np :)
[09:44] <Jordan_U> PWill, Do you know how it turned into a zombie process?
[09:44] <kahrytan> andruk: So, What is that ip address for?
[09:44] <PWill> hexstar: sorry, i meant nautilus
[09:44] <hexstar> oh then sudo killall nautilus
[09:45] <andruk> kahrytan: the ip address is supposed to be the ip of the computer i want to masquerade for
[09:45] <PWill> Jordan_U: no, i was using firefox, downloading stuff, and when i minimized the firefox window to see the desktop, nautilus wasn't there
[09:45] <Tama00> hexstar, its .org
[09:45] <PWill> hexstar: yeah, i tried
[09:45] <Jeremy23> PWill: zombie processes don't hurt anybody, just leave it
[09:45] <hexstar> PWill: oh
[09:45] <PWill> Jeremy23: yes, but now I have no desktop
[09:45] <PWill> and i can't browse my files
[09:45] <andruk> hexstar: is that recent?
[09:45] <Jeremy23> You should still be able to Alt+F2 and type "nautilus"
[09:45] <PWill> which is what people normally do with computers
[09:45] <PWill> Jeremy23: I did, and it won't start
[09:46] <Jeremy23> PWill: Why can't you reboot?
[09:46] <PWill> when I run it from the terminal, it just sits there
[09:46] <hexstar> andruk: yeah, I found it in the document outlining the reserved ip ranges
[09:46] <PWill> Because I'm not going to lose my uptime over a dumb file browser
[09:46] <PWill> and i'm stubborn
[09:46] <kahrytan> andruk: try reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network?
[09:46] <Jeremy23> PWill: Well just log out and log on.
[09:46] <Carter_> why hello
[09:46] <Jordan_U> PWill, Sometimes restarting X can get rid of stubborn processes but I have never tried it with zombie processes
[09:46] <Carter_> I am now on my ubuntu laptop
[09:46] <hexstar> andruk: came from here: http://72.14.253.104/search?q=cache:Kbg2M2osXIcJ:www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1918.html+ip+range+16&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=3&gl=us
[09:46] <Quinton_> jordan_u: ok i backspaced the cd option now how do i unrestrict the website option?
[09:46] <PWill> Jeremy23: I restarted GDM and X multiple times
[09:47] <Jeremy23> PWill: Do you have any remote mounts like SSH or SMB open?
[09:47] <Carter_> Jordan_U:  where is my repositories file so i can check if I have that thing you aid commented out or not
[09:47] <Jeremy23> They're always what hangs it for me.
[09:47] <PWill> I don't use nautilus for remote stuff. That's what scp is for.
[09:47] <nuh> halo
[09:47] <Jordan_U> Quinton_, It should be enabled and work now that the CD entry is gone, for future reference you can comment something out by just putting a # in front of the line
[09:48] <hexstar> !scp
[09:48] <ubotu> SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/
[09:48] <Jeremy23> PWill: Yeah, but have you done something like 'mount -t smbfs' or an sshfs mount?
[09:48] <nuh> ada indo gak
[09:48] <PWill> Jeremy23: no
[09:48] <hexstar> nuh: what?
[09:48] <Quinton_> jordan_u: so now what?
[09:48] <kahrytan> andruk:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing
[09:48] <Jordan_U> Quinton_, Install ssh
[09:49] <Quinton_> jordan_u its stuck at this menu
[09:49] <Jeremy23> PWill: Well, I'm just about as clueless as you then.
[09:49] <kahrytan> andruk: 5th section down but read  before it
[09:49] <Jeremy23> sorry
[09:49] <Jordan_U> Quinton_, You mean in nano editing the file?
[09:49] <Carter_> Jordan_U:  What am I searching for with apt-get? It to setup my wireless card. I forgot it, it upstairs on my desktop PC clipboard :(
[09:49] <PWill> Jeremy23: yeah this sucks. I'll fool around with it some more and let you know if I find a solution
[09:49] <Quinton_> jordan_u: yeah
[09:49] <kahrytan> andruk: that answers your question
[09:49] <Jordan_U> Carter, bcm43xx-fwcutter
[09:50] <Jordan_U> Quinton_, ctrl+x to exit
[09:50] <andruk> kahrytan: ah, okay, i get it now
[09:50] <nuh> any body know? about forget password to login root? how to clear?
[09:50] <Carter_> omg dumb question, but where is the terminal in the new ubuntu??
[09:50] <Quinton_> jordan_u: ok now type what?
[09:50] <Jordan_U> Quinton_, when it asks if you want to save press y then return
[09:50] <kahrytan> andruk: Seem so simple doesnt it.
[09:51] <andruk> Carter_: Apps > Accessories > Terminal
[09:51] <Carter_> lol, thanks
[09:51] <andruk> Carter_: or ctrl+alt+F1  ;-)
[09:51] <Jordan_U> nuh, Why are you logging in as root?
[09:51] <Quinton_> jordan_u: so now type what?
[09:51] <andruk> kahrytan: yeah, i looked high and low for that though
[09:51] <Jordan_U> Quinton_, apt-get install openssh-server
[09:52] <Quinton_> jordan_u: it asks for a cd still
[09:52] <kahrytan> andruk: I knew 198 was a local thing like 127
[09:52] <Carter_> ok Jordan_U: I installed the package. Now what should I do
[09:52] <Jordan_U> Qubert, Sorry, apt-get update first
[09:53] <andruk> kahrytan: cool, thank you.  i remember something about doing away with classes of ips.  and yeah, any idea as to why "they" chose 192 (127 is kinda obvious)?
[09:53] <Jordan_U> Carter, Either restart or run "sudo modprobe bcm43xx"
[09:53] <littlerose> hi i need help to install vmware server it give error on 2.6 kernel i.e feisty
[09:53] <littlerose> 7.4
[09:53] <Quinton_> jordan_u: it still asks for a cd =s
[09:53] <hexstar> andruk: can you bind to 0.0.0.0 on a lan? :D
[09:53] <kahrytan> andruk: 127 is the local machine
[09:54] <nuh> because i have been change password and create new one user then  i forgot
[09:54] <hexstar> nuh: http://www.debuntu.org/recover-root-password-single-user-mode-and-grub
[09:54] <nuh> ok thanks
[09:54] <hexstar> nuh: np :)
[09:55] <Jordan_U> Carter, I think you also need to restart network-manager if you want to connect using that, I am not sure how to do that, logging out and back in might do it, restarting certainly will but isn't necessary
[09:55] <andruk> kahrytan: yeah, but how did they magically chose 192.xxx.xxx.xxx as being private network ips?
[09:55] <andruk> hexstar: i have no idea.
[09:55] <hexstar> andruk: I'm sure it's in the rfc here: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1918.html which details the private ip allocation scheme
[09:55] <kahrytan> andruk: IP assignment?
[09:55] <hexstar> http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1918.html
[09:55] <Lunks> How can I remove a program I installed through "sudo make install"?
[09:56] <hexstar> sudo apt-get remove
[09:56] <ziroday> Lunks: hunt down where it put and edited all its files and then delete it
[09:56] <greedo__> dudes, i tried istanbul and recordmydesktop to capture what's going on my screen. but it's very sluggish :( is there any alternative ???
[09:56] <sp4m> i just installed the nvidia drivers for my card and let it configure the xorg.conf but when i did startx, the screen is black, it makes the login sound but the screen is still black
[09:56] <kahrytan> andruk: IP Addresses are assigned to owners. and I guess only certain set was dedicated to private networks.
[09:56] <Quinton_> jordan_u: hello?
[09:56] <Kawika> andruk: since I've been working with networks, both 192.x.x.x and 10.x.x.x have been used as private lan IP's.
[09:56] <Kawika> I'm sure there are more, but those are the most common.
[09:56] <ziroday> sp4m: what card, and what resolution?
[09:56] <hexstar> Kawika: 1.2.3.4 :D
[09:56] <Carter__> well, it worked!
[09:56] <Carter__> thanks so much Jordan_U
[09:57] <Kawika> hexstar: lol...
[09:57] <sp4m> geforce 440 go, and 1028x768
[09:57] <Jordan_U> Carter, np
[09:57] <Carter> hmm, strange
[09:57] <Jordan_U> Quinton_, Yes?
[09:57] <andruk> how did they choose 192- and 10- ?  they seem kinda random...except their both even...
[09:57] <hexstar> Kawika: is I believe a local ip
[09:57] <Carter> irc lags horribly
[09:57] <novato_br> what do I have to do to take off "nm-applet" from tray bar ?
[09:57] <Quinton_> jordan_u: still asks for a cd
[09:57] <hexstar> andruk: did you read the rfc? :P
[09:57] <andruk> hexstar: doing so
[09:57] <Carter> I'm on my desktop now cause none of your responses are on my laptop right now
[09:57] <ziroday> sp4m: hmmm, which driver did you install
[09:57] <hexstar> andruk: k
[09:57] <Jordan_U> Quinton_, Sorry, you must have commented the wrong line
[09:57] <littlerose> hi anyone can answer this question please ? What is the location of the directory of C header files ( ubuntu 7.04)
[09:58] <ziroday> sp4m: also does ctrl-alt-f1 bring you to a terminal window
[09:58] <sp4m> ziroday, 9369 legacy driver
[09:58] <Quinton_> jordan_u: so do what?
[09:58] <novato_br> what can I do to my system don't load "nm-applet" ?
[09:58] <kahrytan> I think andruk is asking, Who and WHy they choose those ip addresses
[09:58] <m1r> apt-get remove nm-applet ?
[09:58] <sp4m> ziroday, yes it does
[09:58] <andruk> i know who: IANA, i am asking why
[09:59] <m1r> andruk , did u find out what /16 means ?
[09:59] <Jordan_U> Quinton_, look at your /etc/apt/source.list again, only the lines without a # at the beginning are important
[09:59] <slowz3r> Can i get assistance with my linksys WUSB54gv4 adapter, please dont link me to some thread i tried them all!
[09:59] <kahrytan> andruk: Already in use?
[09:59] <ziroday> sp4m: hmm, odd okay, can you change your xorg driver to vesa and restart xserver please
[09:59] <novato_br> m1r,  its impossible to find that nm-applet packet
[09:59] <andruk> m1r: i did: section 5 of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing#Historical_background
[09:59] <Carter> Jordan_U: it works however it's really really slow. I'm rebooting to see if that helps
[10:00] <hexstar> m1r:      10.0.0.0        -   10.255.255.255  (10/8 prefix)

[10:00] <nuh> bye all
[10:00] <sp4m> ziroday, yep, gimme 1 sec
[10:00] <wykis> Hello, how can I find out what filename does a font in the system have?
[10:00] <ziroday> sp4m: sure np

[10:00] <littlerose> hey anyone ? there a
[10:00] <bruenig> would find /usr/share/fonts
[10:00] <novato_br> but, m1r  and my network, will it be work ?
[10:01] <m1r> novato_br , yes
[10:01] <novato_br> ok
[10:01] <novato_br> i will de-install, so
[10:01] <m1r> but u will have to config it manualy
[10:01] <novato_br> ohh, no m1r
[10:01] <novato_br> its hard for me
[10:01] <andruk> kahrytan: ah something called "Best Current Practice" it would seem that ppl were already doing so
[10:01] <wykis> Jordan_U: I want to look up by font's name, not font' filename, any ideas on somekind of font lister?
[10:01] <ghetek> hey guys i just got back from a nasty issue with my laptop. im dual booting windows and ubuntu. one thing led to another and i had to install a boot manager called "GAG" how do i go back and reinstate grub?
[10:02] <novato_br> m1r, i want only take off "nm-applet" from tray bar
[10:02] <m1r> novato_br ; /etc/networking/interfaces
[10:02] <bruenig> !grub | ghetek
[10:02] <Quinton_> jordan_u: om now what? apt-get install ssh server? (did i type that right?)
[10:02] <ubotu> ghetek: 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
[10:02] <kahrytan> andruk: Some tech with influence at IANA was already using it in private networks and it kinda stuck  with them
[10:02] <Carter> so what does it mean when the wireless connects and can function, but is unbearably slow?
[10:02] <novato_br> !nm-applet
[10:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nm-applet - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:02] <slowz3r> Can i get assistance with my linksys WUSB54gv4 adapter, please dont link me to some thread i tried them all!
[10:02] <Jordan_U> Quinton_, apt-get install openssh-server
[10:02] <Lunks> can't get avant window navigator to work on gutsy
[10:02] <kahrytan> andruk: kinda like LOL and LMAO kinda stuck.
[10:02] <Lunks> could some one help, please? =)
[10:02] <bruenig> Carter, weak signal or low bandwidth
[10:02] <sp4m> ziroday, alright back to vesa, with the lame resolution lol
[10:03] <andruk> kahrytan: it really is kind of amazing how the internet just formed so well
[10:03] <Jordan_U> Lunks, #ubuntu+1 for Gutsy
[10:03] <Lunks> compiling it myself gives me an error when trying to run it
[10:03] <Lunks> ok, thanks
[10:03] <Carter> bruenig: it's not the signal strength, I know that. I'm right next to my desktop PC which is using wireless as well. It's been trying to load this website for over 3 minutes now
[10:03] <novato_br> thx, m1r
[10:03] <kahrytan> andruk: And still is forming. with IP v6
[10:03] <bruenig> Carter, are  you using that same connection now with IRC?
[10:03] <andruk> slowz3r: what problem are you having?
[10:03] <Carter> yea
[10:03] <m1r> np novato_br
[10:04] <Carter> on the desktop, laptop is right next to me
[10:04] <bruenig> Carter, ok so then you aren't
[10:04] <Carter> oh, yea no it's too slow to work on the laptop
[10:04] <andruk> kahrytan: quite true.  although this time, everybody has experience with the "last"/current internet.   hopefully.
[10:04] <Carter> thats how bad the connection is :P
[10:04] <Quinton_> jordan_u: it says it is not there and may be obsoulete or by another name
[10:04] <kahrytan> andruk: Private IP is better for security too.
[10:04] <bruenig> Carter, are you doing any torrenting or whatnot with your desktop
[10:04] <Carter> nope

[10:05] <bruenig> Carter, what does pinging on the laptop give you
[10:05] <Jordan_U> Quinton_, Strange, try "apt-get install ssh"
[10:05] <andruk> can i get some cheese too?
[10:05] <slowz3r> andruk: well I had initially followed a thread directions for instalin it using NDISwrapper . but to to success so i unistalled it now it will power up for only a few seconds then pwer down
[10:05] <kahrytan> andruk: 127.0.0.0  has a tshirt for it at thinkgeek.com
[10:05] <donkeyofdarkness> andruk, ask macd. He has it all now
[10:06] <Cheese> oh wait this is not the offtopic channel
[10:06] <bruenig> ubuntu has to be the only distro to not have ssh installed default
[10:06] <hexstar> kahrytan: I have that shirt :D
[10:06] <Carter> I pinged www.yahoo.com
[10:06] <Quinton_> jordan_u: is not available and is refered to by another package
[10:06] <andruk> donkeyofdarkness: lol, okay.  thanks.
[10:06] <hexstar> !info jordan_u
[10:06] <Carter> I'm getting responses around 45ms
[10:06] <ubotu> Package jordan_u does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[10:06] <andruk> thanks Cheese
[10:06] <kahrytan> hexstar: geek :-P
[10:06] <Quinton_> jordan_u: this may mean the package is missing or obsoulete
[10:06] <slowz3r> andruk: before i tried ndiswrapper i culd get it t show in the wifi task bar and list some networks but culdnt connect
[10:06] <kahrytan> hexstar: How about the 10 kinds of people one?
[10:06] <Carter> I can load google.com pretty quickly
[10:07] <hexstar> kahrytan: lol no
[10:07] <Quinton_> jordan_u: however ssh-askpass-gnome replaces it
[10:07] <andruk> slowz3r: im sorry, but that is above my head.  you can try the forums: ubuntuforums.org   (they are very helpful)
[10:07] <bruenig> Carter, that is a pretty quick ping
[10:07] <hexstar> !ping localhost
[10:07] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ping localhost - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:07] <Carter> yea, I'm not sure whats going on
[10:07] <Quinton_> jordan_u: excuse me openssh-client ssh-askpass-gnome
[10:07] <Carter> I can load google.com
[10:07] <Carter> but if I do a search the results never load
[10:07] <slowz3r> andruk: sadly been there done that..thats why im here..lol.most problems i can solve on my own but this confuses me ..well thanks anyway
[10:07] <Carter> just sits there "transfering"
[10:08] <sp4m> ziroday, when i attempt the nvidia driver it tells me that my kernel module is v 1.0-7184 but my x module is v 1.0-9639
[10:08] <slowz3r> Can i get assistance with my linksys WUSB54gv4 adapter,
[10:08] <kahrytan> slowz3r: Whats wrong?
[10:08] <andruk> is there any point to pining localhost?
[10:08] <kahrytan> !ndiswrapper
[10:08] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[10:08] <hexstar> andruk: no :P
[10:08] <m1r> hell yes
[10:08] <andruk> lol
[10:08] <hexstar> andruk: I'm not sure what that ping measures...maybe processor speed :P lol
[10:08] <andruk> *pinging*
[10:08] <Quinton_> jordan_u: ???
[10:08] <Jordan_U> Quinton_, openssh-server is definitely the correct name, I think you commented a line you shouldn't have
[10:08] <andruk> lol
[10:08] <kahrytan> hexstar: Pinging 198.x.x.x has it's uses.
[10:09] <hexstar> kahrytan: well yeah if it's another local machine
[10:09] <Kawika> hexstar: think of ping like a network sonar.  Measures speed from Point A to Point B and back.
[10:09] <slowz3r> kahrytan: well to start it off..i plugged in my wusbv4  adapter  it would show up in the wireless network connection bar in the task bar thing...it would list connections and all but not show a signal strength or be able to connect so...
[10:09] <hexstar> I mean opening a terminal and doing "ping localhost"
[10:09] <Quinton_> jordan-ssh: it says before all that it reads package lists... and builds dependency tree etc...
[10:09] <Carter> ever heard of anything liek this before bruenig? I'm totally lost at this point
[10:09] <mabus> im getting error "waiting for x server to shutdown freefontpath: fpe "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/"
[10:09] <kahrytan> slowz3r: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Linksys_WUSB54Gv4?highlight=%28WifiDocs%2FDevice%29
[10:09] <bruenig> Carter, what website is loading so slowly?
[10:09] <hexstar> Kawika: I know what ping does, I meant I'm not sure what the point of doing "ping localhost" would be
[10:09] <andruk> well, im off to bed, thanks for all the help hexstar, m1r, kahrytan, Cheese
[10:09] <kahrytan> hexstar: It's the routers.
[10:09] <hexstar> andruk: np :)
[10:09] <Kawika> hexstar: I just saw the last part and the :p  haha
[10:10] <Jordan_U> hexstar, See if you have icmp support installed ;)
[10:10] <hexstar> Jordan_U: lol
[10:10] <Quinton_> jordan_u: so now what?
[10:10] <slowz3r> kahrytan: been there done that
[10:10] <mabus> any time I try to start x... it seems the error lies around me missing font packages, what ones should I have to run fluxbox? I compiled the latest version of it from source, but I built the dependencies for the repository fluxbox so I thought I'd have all the packages I need
[10:10] <Kawika> Ping localhost is positive affirmation.  Yes, I am here... :p
[10:10] <slowz3r> kahrytan: i folllowed the thread for installin ndiswrapepr with this model adapter and it didnt work so i unistalled it
[10:10] <kahrytan> slowz3r: It won't show signal strength anyways
[10:11] <slowz3r> kahrytan: now when i plug in the adapter it will power on for a few seconds then shut off
[10:11] <Jordan_U> Quinton_, Fix your sources.list with this...
[10:11] <slowz3r> kahrytan: ??
[10:11] <hexstar> Kawika: lol, yeah if you do ping localhost and have packet loss you know you have problems... :P
[10:11] <Jordan_U> !sourceomatic | Quinton_
[10:11] <ubotu> Quinton_: source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[10:11] <Kawika> hexstar: that's hilarious...
[10:11] <m1r> ping localhost = am i aware ?
[10:11] <Quinton_> jordan_u: how would i do that when i cant see when i boot?
[10:11] <kahrytan> slowz3r: reinstall it then
[10:11] <Jordan_U> Quinton_, You are at a shell now aren't you?
[10:12] <Quinton_> jordan_u: yeah
[10:12] <hexstar> m1r: I guess, it basically sends a ping to yourself and then you respond back to yourself
[10:12] <hexstar> m1r: a ping localhost is pretty useless
[10:12] <Kawika> mlr: request timed out :p
[10:12] <slowz3r> kahrytan: ..done that about 3 times with no difference in results..same thing over and over again
[10:12] <Skrypt> Where can I find screensavers for Ubuntu?
[10:12] <hexstar> Skrypt: screensavers.com
[10:12] <slowz3r> kahrytan: i even tried the airmon-ng drivers from backtrack2
[10:12] <kahrytan> slowz3r: You need a driver to make it work
[10:12] <slowz3r> kahrytan: its wierd cuz this adaptor works fine in bt
[10:12] <Jordan_U> Skrypt, search for "screensaver" in synaptic / apt-cache
[10:12] <Skrypt> Linux uses .scr ?
[10:13] <Quinton_> jordan_u: i created a sources list... ?
[10:13] <m1r> kawika , then i surely have mental probems :)
[10:13] <Skrypt> ah, right
[10:13] <Quinton_> jordan_u: now what?
[10:13] <kahrytan> slowz3r: I can't really help since I dont use wifi. (insecure)
[10:13] <kahrytan> slowz3r: buy reinstall and record what happens then use pastebin
[10:13] <kahrytan> *but
[10:14] <slowz3r> kahrytan: lol..the only reason i need this adaptor to work is cuz my ipw3945 cant packet
[10:14] <Jordan_U> Quinton_, Use that to replace the one on the machine you are trying to install openssh-server on, either with a USB drive or by typing it in
[10:14] <slowz3r> kahrytan: packet inject*
[10:14] <Quinton_> jordan_u: ok so what would i type in?
[10:14] <Skrypt> Jordan_U: very limited selection there. ;-/
[10:14] <thyrax> anyone know if ktorrent works with xubuntu?
[10:15] <Skrypt> does linux use a .scr and how do I integrate that into the screensaver selection?
[10:15] <jk-> thyrax: should do
[10:15] <jk-> Skrypt: no
[10:15] <thyrax> jk any problems with it?
[10:15] <thyrax> running in xfce?
[10:15] <kahrytan> slowz3r: and I don't know what that means
[10:15] <MikeRotch> hey
[10:15] <MikeRotch> anyone here got WINE?
[10:15] <thyrax> would you recommend something else?
[10:15] <Skrypt> MikeRotch: #winehq
[10:15] <jk-> thyrax: i wouldn't think so - most kde apps will run fine under a different window manager
[10:15] <MikeRotch> yea
[10:15] <slowz3r> kahrytan: ooo..well thanks for listening
[10:15] <MikeRotch> where is the folder
[10:15] <Jordan_U> Skrypt, If .scr is what windows uses then I seriously doubt it
[10:15] <MikeRotch> liek the "c drive"
[10:16] <MikeRotch> stuff
[10:16] <thyrax> I am looking for a good bittorrent client I have used bitcommet on windows
[10:16] <Skrypt> ~/.wine/
[10:16] <Skrypt> but if you want help with wine, as in #winehq
[10:16] <MikeRotch> can i only get there from terminal?
[10:16] <thyrax> azerus is slow
[10:16] <MikeRotch> oh
[10:16] <hexstar> I think you could technically run a .scr through wine...
[10:16] <thyrax> and will not download even after forwarding points.
[10:16] <Kawika> thyrax: Frostwire will handle torrents.  Not real familiar with what is good/bad, but seems to work ok.
[10:16] <Skrypt> mike, no. open the folder, go to view>show hidden folders
[10:16] <Quinton_> jordan_u: would ubuntu ultimate edition maybe work?
[10:16] <thyrax> lotys of seeds and peers but no upload or download
[10:17] <kahrytan> hexstar: ever run a win virus in wine?
[10:17] <Skrypt> or, press CTRL+H with the folder on top
[10:17] <thyrax> would 'sudo apt-get install ktorrent' work? Is there a better faster lighter client?
[10:17] <chrisellis> how do i know if my computer has enough ram ?
[10:17] <hexstar> kahrytan: you could install the virus but it wouldn't load automatically
[10:17] <Jordan_U> Quinton_, No, the "ultimate edition" is not really an edition but an unofficial hacked together modification of Ubuntu by some guy, if it does work it would only be by chance
[10:18] <m1r> chrisellis , never enough ram m8
[10:18] <Kawika> mlr: haha
[10:18] <hexstar> chrisellis: as long as you have 256mb>= ram you're ok
[10:18] <chrisellis> yeah but does ram have anything to do with effects?
[10:18] <m1r> yes if on videocard
[10:18] <hexstar> chrisellis: no that's the video card
[10:18] <kahrytan> hexstar: It's hilarious though.  And fun to clean up behind it
[10:18] <hexstar> kahrytan: lol true
[10:18] <MikeRotch> if you use onboard video
[10:18] <Quinton_> jordan_u: maybe edgy eft. would work?
[10:19] <MikeRotch> then you might be able to dedicate alot to video =P
[10:19] <MikeRotch> haha
[10:19] <jk-> yargh, the installer is ignoring my mirror options, seems there's no way to get around it :(
[10:19] <SoulChild> my gparted can't format to fat32 which package do i need ?
[10:19] <blackjac3l> I'm having a problem installing 64 bit ubuntu... I downloaded the 64 bit version on the main ubuntu website and checked the checksum for errors.... but it won't work, 32 bit version works fine
[10:19] <chrisellis> can you change the ram
[10:19] <jk-> SoulChild: you could leave the area uformatted, and do it after using gparted ?
[10:19] <hexstar> MikeRotch: I loved it when I tried doing a knoppix live cd on a machine with 32mb ram...it booted half way and then kernel panic'd because the memory manager killed the kernel to try and free more memory :D
[10:20] <chrisellis> on a video card?
[10:20] <kahrytan> hexstar: I wonder when there will be a first usable linux virus
[10:20] <marui> can someone here please help me with ubuntu 7.04?
[10:20] <Jordan_U> Quinton_, Sorry to leave you with you problem not solved but I need sleep, I would boot from the liveCD and change your sources.list from there where you are more comfortable ( with the GUI ) and it may be that an older version would work, I would go with Dapper if you are going with an old version though, it is much more stable and will be supported longer
[10:20] <MikeRotch> haha hex
[10:20] <hexstar> kahrytan: as soon as people realize how much better linux is tehn windows
[10:20] <m1r> kahrytan , linux is virus ;)
[10:20] <MikeRotch> hey soulchild
[10:20] <Skrypt> chrisellis: sort of. you cannot change the physical memory stored on a video card but you can alot actually hard drive space to supplement video card ram
[10:20] <MikeRotch> try libparted
[10:20] <Kawika> chrisellis: most of the new video cards are set from factory.  Back in the day, they had some with upgradable ram.
[10:20] <wasabi_> how do i start the compiz config manager in the terminal?
[10:20] <blackjac3l> Maybe my processor isn't a 64 bit processor, its the pentium 4 cedar mill 631: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16819116004
[10:20] <MikeRotch> in synaptic search
[10:20] <thyrax> would 'sudo apt-get install ktorrent' work? Is there a better faster lighter client?
[10:20] <kahrytan> @lart | mlr
[10:21] <SoulChild> MikeRotch: ok thanks
[10:21] <wasabi_> how do i start the compiz config manager in the terminal?
[10:21] <chrisellis> oh how i would i do that
[10:21] <kahrytan> @lart mlr
[10:21] <chrisellis> that would be awesome
[10:21] <Quinton_> jordan_u: okey thanks
[10:21] <chrisellis> to use the hd
[10:21] <Kawika> Skrypt: interesting concept there... that would be cool to try
[10:21] <marui> Can someone here help please?
[10:21] <Jordan_U> kahrytan, There have been "viruses" just none in the wild
[10:21] <MikeRotch> np
[10:21] <Skrypt> Kawika: it's been done.
[10:21] <Skrypt> In fact, Vista does it by default but it's terrible.
[10:21] <hexstar> Skrypt: how would you do that?
[10:21] <kahrytan> darn bot aint working
[10:21] <m1r> jordan_u , how u mean in the wild ?
[10:21] <magnetron> !offtopic

[10:21] <Kawika> Skrypt: it would be cool to try out.
[10:22] <kahrytan> @lart mlr for anti-linux statement
[10:22] <gordonjcp> marui: no-one can help you
[10:22] <marui> why not?
[10:22] <Jordan_U> m1r, Actually infecting people rather than just existing but not spreading well enough to actually get anywhere, basically just proof of concept viruses
[10:22] <gordonjcp> marui: for the simple reason that you haven't asked a question
[10:22] <kahrytan> Jordan_U: there is a few, they just dont work.
[10:22] <SoulChild> MikeRotch: it was dosfstools
[10:22] <marui> ok
[10:22] <m1r> ah , tnx jordan_u
[10:22] <MikeRotch> oh that's cool too
[10:22] <howlingmadhowie> linux virus: ./configure virus && make virus && install virus && /usr/bin/virus :)
[10:22] <Skrypt> hexstar: I'm not sure specifically how to do it myself. I just know it has been done and Vista has a ridiculous system using it that sucks.
[10:23] <marui> I have 7.04, and the computer doesnt load it anymore, i am trying to go back to windows XP
[10:23] <hexstar> Skrypt: ah
[10:23] <marui> how do i boot to xp?
[10:23] <m1r> kahrytan , virus in terms i cant get rid of it any more ;)
[10:23] <Skrypt> Kawika: Yeah. I imagine it'd be like creating a ram drive. Linking it to the video card shouldn't been toooo hard but still beyond me.
[10:23] <hexstar> !windows | marui
[10:23] <ubotu> marui: For help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows or your nearest mental health institute. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and !equivalents
[10:23] <Skrypt> though I've not heard of ram drives in linux
[10:23] <gordonjcp> marui: what's XP?
[10:23] <marui> its not help with windows
[10:23] <blackjac3l> Does "64 bit support" mean that a processor is a 64 bit processor?
[10:23] <hexstar> lol
[10:23] <Kawika> Skrypt: the bad news with that, is you are operating at hard drive speed, not "ram" speed.
[10:23] <MikeRotch> go back to windows???
[10:23] <marui> i have ubuntu 7.04, i want to boot windows from it
[10:23] <kahrytan> m1r: but you can get rid of a virus
[10:23] <Skrypt> marui, then you need to ask about grub
[10:23] <Jordan_U> marui, You can restore the windows mbr with a windows install CD, go to recovery mode and run "fixmbr"
[10:23] <MikeRotch> i've been on ubuntu like a week
[10:23] <Skrypt> Kawika: true enough
[10:24] <MikeRotch> and i deleted my winfdwos partition
[10:24] <marui> recovery mode doesnt load
[10:24] <MikeRotch> wdindwidos
[10:24] <howlingmadhowie> blackjac3l: if that's on the software, it means it's compiled for the amd64 instruction set
[10:24] <marui> it loads a blank screen
[10:24] <m1r> kahrytan , not for last year at least , just wont go away off my hdd :)
[10:24] <marui> with HDC:lost interrupt
[10:24] <Jordan_U> marui, Alternately you could try to get GRUB working but the first is a sure bet to work if you need your system back now
[10:24] <howlingmadhowie> MikeRotch: you burnt your bra, so to speak
[10:24] <chrisellis> how do you use HD space for video ram ?
[10:24] <Skrypt> MikeRotch: I'm almost there. :) I don't boot into Vista anymore but I'm still afraid to pull the entire install off. :P Just so much stuff to switch over. Been doing it slowly though. I imagine next month it'll be completely gone.

[10:25] <Jordan_U> chrisellis, That is not a reasonable thing to do
[10:25] <hexstar> ewww vista
[10:25] <MikeRotch> skrypt
[10:25] <blackjac3l> howlingmadhowie: I'm asking about the hardware.... I can't install ubuntu 64 so i'm trying to figure out if my processor isnt really 64 bit
[10:25] <marui> i sorta need it back ASAP
[10:25] <Skrypt> hexstar: I know... I know. I hate it.
[10:25] <marui> i have a black screen right now
[10:25] <chrisellis> oh its not
[10:25] <hexstar> kahrytan: haha that's awesome :D
[10:25] <howlingmadhowie> MikeRotch: if you just deleted the entry in the partition table, have a look at 'gpart'. if however you wrote over the partition, i'm afraid it's goine
[10:25] <MikeRotch> you install vista and your IP goes to the government
[10:25] <MikeRotch> and they connect i seen video
[10:25] <Jordan_U> marui, Do you have a windows install CD?
[10:25] <Skrypt> Link me
[10:25] <marui> jordan, yes
[10:25] <MikeRotch> i will find
[10:25] <Kawika> marui: so you are trying to totally get rid of Linux, and install XP?
[10:25] <howlingmadhowie> blackjac3l: what do you have running on the system now?
[10:25] <Skrypt> Please, do. I'd LOVE to see that...
[10:25] <marui> kawika, yes
[10:25] <blackjac3l> blackjac3l: 32 bit windows XP
[10:25] <hexstar> Skrypt: it's called WGA
[10:26] <kahrytan> hexstar: need a good laugh
[10:26] <hexstar> windows genuine advantage...arg
[10:26] <Skrypt> hexstar: I don't have WGA ;)
[10:26] <hexstar> Skrypt: then how can you get updates?
[10:26] <hexstar> unless you cracked it... :P
[10:26] <Jordan_U> marui, Boot the windows install CD and go to the recovery mode and run "fixmbr:"
[10:26] <howlingmadhowie> blackjac3l: doesn't windows xp have the capability of telling you what sort of processor you have? something like 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' on linux?
[10:26] <Skrypt> M$ decided it'd be OK to let users boot into safe mode and delete WGA ;)
[10:26] <marui> jordan
[10:26] <hexstar> Skrypt: lol k
[10:26] <Skrypt> Donno, it doesn't ask me to download it anymore.
[10:26] <marui> recovery mode doesnt load right
[10:26] <marui> it gives me a black screen
[10:26] <marui> with the error
[10:27] <marui> HDC: lost interrupt
[10:27] <kahrytan> and XP Corporate doesnt have WGA
[10:27] <hexstar> Skrypt: yeah I suspect that with WGA once you validate it sets some registry entry because I've found that after validating with wga I can remove it and updates install fine
[10:27] <musikgoat|laptop> hexstar: i think you can just skip the install of WGA, you just cant get all download,s, only security dl's
[10:27] <Jordan_U> marui, Isn't that useful :)
[10:27] <blackjac3l> howlingmadhowie: I know which processor i have, http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16819116004
[10:27] <Skrypt> I do still like XP. I'll be keeping that on my laptop.
[10:27] <Jordan_U> marui, Can you boot a LiveCD?
[10:27] <MikeRotch> skrypt give me a momet i am high
[10:27] <Skrypt> .... :-/
[10:27] <MikeRotch> xp i be playin games
[10:27] <hexstar> musikgoat|laptop: no that's not the case, if you don't install wga windows updates prompts you to install wga before getting any updates
[10:27] <MikeRotch> dude just wait
[10:27] <marui> Jordan, i put the 7.04 CD inside, and it just booted normally...
[10:27] <MikeRotch> i show you
[10:28] <hexstar> musikgoat|laptop: it used to not be required, now it is
[10:28] <hexstar> it's a futile effort by MS to stop piracy because with every version of wga they release someone quickly cracks it
[10:28] <Skrypt> Meh. i'd rather not hear your blundering inadequacies and indulgences in illicit substances, to be fair. =P
[10:29] <hexstar> what?
[10:29] <hexstar> lol
[10:29] <Skrypt> Talking to MikeRotch =P
[10:29] <xoRock> how to rmdir if the dir is nt empty?
[10:29] <musikgoat|laptop> huh, I did custom updates on my desktop and have avoided wga to date
[10:29] <Jordan_U> marui, From a liveCD install the package "ms-sys" ( it will install temporarily to RAM )
[10:29] <marui> any new idea Jordan?
[10:29] <samurailink3> Hey, I blew up my nvidia drivers by installing a conflicting package, I wasn't thinking when it uninstalled my nvidia-glx package. On a live cd now. How do I install .deb's from bash? I've downloaded and threw the package on my partition already.
[10:29] <musikgoat|laptop> just hid the update
[10:29] <bruenig> samurailink3, apt-get
[10:29] <xoRock> !rmdir
[10:29] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about rmdir - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:29] <marui> marui, when i put the live CD in, nothing happens
[10:29] <hexstar> Actually...I did legally purchase windows. But while installing windows the cdrom drive on a old pc destoryed the cd so now I have to use cracked wga copies because the cd I had was for xp install without sp2 and the key doesn't work on sp2 install cds
[10:29] <marui> Jordan*
[10:30] <bruenig> xoRock, rm -r directory
[10:30] <Jordan_U> samurailink3, do you know how to do a chroot?
[10:30] <MikeRotch> skrypt IM
[10:30] <howlingmadhowie> blackjac3l: according to wikipedia, it looks as if the processor does implement the AMD64 instruction set
[10:30] <samurailink3> I think so, I've got the root acct enabled
[10:30] <xoRock> bruenig, ok thx
[10:30] <bruenig> xoRock, I don't know anyone who uses rmdir by the way, just rm -r
[10:30] <samurailink3> X doesn't launch, throws me to a bash login
[10:30] <hexstar> there's a rmdir? :D
[10:30] <marui> i quit life
[10:30] <marui> ubuntu is too difficult
[10:31] <Skrypt> samurai, sudo apt-get remove nvidia-glx -- whatever you installed
[10:31] <marui> i wish i was as happy as the people on the cover of the CD
[10:31] <Jordan_U> marui, So the LiveCD doesn't boot and the windows CD crashes ?
[10:31] <hexstar> marui: if you want garunteed support I believe caonical offers paid support
[10:31] <bruenig> rmdir could be useful if you wanted to hack some script together, but even then I think there are better ways
[10:31] <kahrytan> marui: give it some time
[10:31] <Skrypt> then sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[10:31] <howlingmadhowie> blackjac3l: are you using an ubuntu live cd for 64bit architecture?
[10:31] <marui> Jordan, no, the livecd doesnt boot
[10:31] <bruenig> like to see if a directory is empty or not
[10:31] <Kawika> marui: so now you are saying that nothing happens when you try the live cd?
[10:31] <MikeRotch> i wish i had a great nvidia
[10:31] <bruenig> just rmdir it and then test the exit code
[10:31] <marui> and the windows CD doesn't even do anything
[10:31] <MikeRotch> i got a decent ATI
[10:31] <blackjac3l> blackjac3l: I downloaded the 64 bit version from the main website
[10:31] <MikeRotch> it is hell right now with ubuntu
[10:31] <MikeRotch> and compiz
[10:31] <MikeRotch> and everything
[10:31] <Kawika> marui: when you boot, do you get an option to "Boot to CD" ?
[10:31] <Jordan_U> marui, If it worked before then that is probably a hardware problem
[10:32] <hexstar> MikeRotch: haha and I'm gonna try to install ubuntu on a pc with embedded graphics :D
[10:32] <samurailink3> Skrypt: That would work, but I'm on a laptop, and I'm not quite sure how to connect to my wireless acct using bash, its WEP protected and I usually use the passphrase in the gui
[10:32] <Kawika> Jordan_U: I'm wondering if marui has the boot order set correctly..
[10:32] <MikeRotch> ha
[10:32] <Jordan_U> hexstar, Embedded graphics from intel are great
[10:32] <howlingmadhowie> blackjac3l: and then you burnt the cd and now it doesn't boot or doesn't boot correctly from the cd?
[10:32] <hexstar> well that's good to hear Jordan_U
[10:32] <Skrypt> lol samurai, connect a land line :P
[10:32] <hexstar> :)
[10:33] <marui> Jordan, it has never worked
[10:33] <bruenig> samurailink3, iwconfig YOURINTERFACE essid YOURSSID key s:YOURASCIIPASSPHRASE
[10:33] <marui> i've had ubuntu not working forever
[10:33] <hexstar> samuarai: you know that people can crack wep passwords in a couple of minutes right?
[10:33] <Jordan_U> hexstar, Even my 4 year old intel card runs compiz
[10:33] <marui> tried installing windows multiple times
[10:33] <hexstar> Jodan_U: haha
[10:33] <bruenig> hexstar, couple of minutes, not quite
[10:33] <samurailink3> bruenig: Thanks! I'll try that!
[10:33] <toed> I have a lot of different files that I want to copy from one place to another, is there a nice tool that lets me queue up such things?
[10:33] <Skrypt> hexstar: minutes?
[10:33] <samurailink3> don't really have access to a land line atm
[10:33] <hexstar> brunig: well teh point being, pretty damn fast
[10:34] <hexstar> wpa/wpa2 is much better
[10:34] <Skrypt> hexstar: wireshark + cain = 30 minutes... maybe an hour or two.
[10:34] <Davy_Jones> can i "upgrade" ubuntu to ubuntustudio? or should i do a complete reinstall
[10:34] <Kawika> marui: you've had problems installing Windows as well?  I'm starting to think it's hardware issues then.
[10:34] <bruenig> hexstar, maybe if you have 300 people associating and unassociating over and over to the same AP
[10:34] <Jordan_U> marui, The CD must have booted properly at some point or else you wouldn't have been able to install anything
[10:34] <bruenig> what is cain?
[10:34] <Skrypt> nothing.
[10:34] <Skrypt> Someone from the bible.
[10:34] <bruenig> I've always seen people use aircrack
[10:34] <kahrytan> hexstar: You have this one (http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts/frustrations/388b/)
[10:34] <Skrypt> =P
[10:34] <hexstar> bruenig: Crack Wep In 10 Minutes http://www.governmentsecurity.org/archive/t14890.html
[10:34] <marui> Jordan, i havnt installed XP at all since i have had ubuntu on this
[10:34] <howlingmadhowie> toed: if you select them all at and copy them at the same time in one go, they are automatically queued (meaning that they are not copied simultaneously but one after the other)
[10:34] <marui> it has never even read my CD
[10:34] <marui> it overpasses it
[10:35] <bruenig> hexstar, it isn't about time, it is dependent on how many packets you can get
[10:35] <hexstar> well that's true
[10:35] <musikgoat|laptop> you need arp requests right?
[10:35] <hexstar> but still it's a very weak algorithim
[10:35] <Kawika> marui: I think your boot order is not set right.
[10:35] <Terrasque> hexstar: cracking wep usually require a lot of weak packages iirc
[10:35] <musikgoat|laptop> not that i've ndone it
[10:35] <howlingmadhowie> (offtopic) cain and abel, the first sons of adam and eve.
[10:35] <marui> kawika, first is set on CD
[10:35] <Kawika> marui: you need to go into the bios and make sure CD is set to boot first
[10:35] <bruenig> hexstar, and to get enough packets in 10 minutes is very very unlikely
[10:35] <Jordan_U> marui, I am confused, did your computer come with Ubuntu pre-installed?
[10:35] <marui> no
[10:35] <marui> it had windows
[10:35] <marui> then i installed ubuntu
[10:35] <marui> now i want to go back
[10:35] <marui> but ubuntu wont load the live cd
[10:35] <blackjac3l> howlingmadhowie: It dosen't boot correctly from the cd
[10:35] <hexstar> bruenig: fine :P
[10:36] <marui> or the xP cd
[10:36] <Kawika> marui: do you have access to another CD drive?
[10:36] <hexstar> I'm still staying with wpa2 tho :P lol
[10:36] <Jordan_U> bruenig, I have done it, people use surprisingly weak passwords
[10:36] <marui> kawika, yes, the computer has two drives
[10:36] <sveweck> Hi. Am I correct in thinking that "Magic Sysrq" means "key combo I can press to safely get out of even the worst deadlock, as opposed to a cold reboot"?
[10:36] <bruenig> Jordan_U, well you can do it that way, brute force
[10:36] <toed> howlingmadhowie: yeah but I have a lot of different things to do
[10:36] <Jordan_U> bruenig, Especially if they are already from the subset of users that still uses WEP :)
[10:36] <Kawika> marui: in the bios, change the CD line, so it boots to the other CD drive than you are using now.
[10:36] <toed> so I can't do them all at once
[10:36] <marui> kawika
[10:36] <bruenig> but to crack a password will take far longer
[10:36] <marui> in the boot sequence
[10:37] <kahrytan> marui: It's not ubuntu's fault. its your computer
[10:37] <marui> it only says CD drive
[10:37] <howlingmadhowie> blackjac3l: how far does it get? when it asks if you want to boot from cd, can you edit the entry and delete "splash" and "quiet"?
[10:37] <Skrypt> marui, ironic you're asking in a linux chat how to go back to windows. windows didn't offer you any support?
[10:37] <Kawika> marui: there should be somewhere else near that same screen, that shows boot order of just the CD's.
[10:37] <marui> windows said
[10:37] <marui> 69.99
[10:37] <Jordan_U> bruenig, I don't mean trying to log in, I mean sniffing plackets and cracking the pass
[10:37] <marui> for help
[10:37] <hexstar> bruenig: I guess the zdnet guy got lucky then when he was able to park in a safeway parking lot and crack their wep wireless network in 15 minutes
[10:37] <musikgoat|laptop> marui: call your computer manufaturer
[10:37] <howlingmadhowie> toed: what do you know about shell scripts?
[10:37] <blackjac3l> blackjackel: it gets to the part where it asks if I want to install, check cd for errors....etc.
[10:37] <Madpilot> ubotu, enter | marui
[10:37] <ubotu> marui: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[10:38] <bruenig> Jordan_U, you had to have a dictionary to do it that fast, you didn't get enough packets to crack it outright
[10:38] <toed> howlingmadhowie: yeah I could do it that way but I'd prefer to have a graphical tool
[10:38] <marui> ubotu sorry
[10:38] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sorry - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:38] <tingle> hi, i would like to use all default gnome settings (so whitout the ubuntu settings and themes) is this possible after a desktop install?
[10:38] <musikgoat|laptop> hehe
[10:38] <sveweck> uboto: lol
[10:38] <hexstar> uboto lol
[10:38] <howlingmadhowie> marui: if you don't mind reformatting the harddrive, it may be better to just wipe the drive and use the standard xp install disk
[10:38] <hexstar> !uboto lol
[10:38] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about uboto lol - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:38] <MikeRotch> does anyone know of a good video converter
[10:38] <Jordan_U> marui, So at one point The Ubuntu CD would boot, now the same CD with the same hardware and no other variables changed that I can think of that would effect anything it doesn't, sounds like a hardware problem to me
[10:38] <MikeRotch> for feisty
[10:39] <MikeRotch> like ogg to avi or something to compress
[10:39] <Skrypt> marui: try Super Grub and restoring the MBR. If that doesn't work. Get rid of windows and stick with linux.
[10:39] <howlingmadhowie> toed: i'm afraid i don't know of any graphical tools to do that :(
[10:39] <marui> Jordan correct
[10:39] <marui> only thing that has changed
[10:39] <toed> howlingmadhowie: oh well, thanks anyway
[10:39] <marui> o dang, forgot ubotu, sorry
[10:39] <seete3> I'm using shell in linux, and I need to use fdisk to totally wipe my hda0. What are the commands?.. so far I've typed in 'fdisk /dev/hda' but it says 'unable to open dev'. Do I need to mount dev? if so, how?.. Thanks
[10:39] <howlingmadhowie> MikeRotch: ffmpeg. it's awesome and extremely complicated (but you can do everything with it). try transcode as well (which uses ffmpeg as a backend)
[10:40] <Jordan_U> marui, Not much we can do about a hardware problem but possibly tell you what new part you need to buy
[10:40] <marui> probably a hard drive right?
[10:40] <diafic> how do I set a gateway?
[10:40] <MikeRotch> thanks howlingmadhowie
[10:40] <Kawika> marui: I'm not so sure about that.  HDC would hint towards the motherboard.
[10:40] <marui> that's what geek squad told me :(
[10:40] <Jordan_U> marui, No, it is definitely not the hard drive because booting from CD does not work
[10:41] <Jordan_U> marui, Geek squad people are idiots
[10:41] <marui> yeah i thought so
[10:41] <musikgoat|laptop> very much so
[10:41] <Kawika> marui: do you  have a regular telephone line?
[10:41] <marui> i kicked them out of my house last time for getting my rug dirty
[10:41] <howlingmadhowie> MikeRotch: if however you only want to create 'personal back-up copies of legally bought dvds', you can use dvd::rip (which is in the repositories, of course and has a nice GUI)
[10:41] <Jordan_U> marui, They rip you off and try to steal your porn all while using pirated software
[10:41] <Jordan_U> marui, And I am not even joking
[10:41] <marui> they had grease on their pants
[10:42] <musikgoat|laptop> i dunno if that was grease
[10:42] <m1r> that is blasphemy, to steal p0rn
[10:42] <howlingmadhowie> marui: lol
[10:42] <Skrypt> LOL....
[10:42] <Skrypt> howlingmadhowie: Synaptic > "dvd::rip" to download?
[10:42] <howlingmadhowie> marui: it sounds like a monty python scetch
[10:42] <[miles] > morning guys
[10:42] <MikeRotch> if i have a pentium D processor and an ATI X1600 and i want to do virtual desktop shoudl i do KVm or qemu????
[10:43] <MikeRotch> anyone know?
[10:43] <howlingmadhowie> Skrypt: i think so. you may have to install other optional packages to allow certain functionality (libdvdcss for example)
[10:43] <gordonjcp> marui: let me get this straight, neither Linux not Windows works?
[10:43] <[miles] > is anyone suffering from a segfault in Pidgin IM please?
[10:44] <[miles] > in Feisty...
[10:44] <howlingmadhowie> MikeRotch: in general i have had good experiences with qemu (better than with kvm). i think both support the kernel module to use the virtualisation technology on the chip
[10:44] <[miles] > everytime I start it now it's segfaulting
[10:44] <marui> Jordan, correct
[10:44] <marui> Gordan*
[10:44] <[miles] > jeje
[10:44] <Jordan_U> marui, Seriously though, I wouldn't recommend geek squad to even the most computer illiterate user, if you are ignorant enough ( note not dumb but just not knowledgeable about computers ) that they can help you they will try to rip you off.
[10:44] <gordonjcp> sveweck: bird flu
[10:44] <gordonjcp> marui: sounds like gubbed hardware then
[10:44] <sveweck> hahaha indeed
[10:44] <gordonjcp> marui: does the bios detect the hard disk correctly?
[10:45] <howlingmadhowie> sveweck: have a look at RFC1749
[10:45] <marui> Jordan... i dont even know what a motherboard is
[10:45] <Skrypt> Jordan_U: techsupport are like mechanics... they pray on the ignorant
[10:45] <gordonjcp> Skrypt: "prey"

[10:47] <Jordan_U> marui, http://www.linux.org/groups/ maybe
[10:48] <blackjac3l> howlingmadhowie: why would it work on the 32 bit version but not on the 64 bit version?
[10:48] <sveweck> howlingmadhowie: awesome, I wonder if Pidgin IM has a plugin for that =)
[10:48] <Jordan_U> marui, Linux isn't for everyone, though it doesn't seem at fault in this case :)
[10:48] <howlingmadhowie> blackjac3l: but what happens if you switch off the splash screen and 'quiet' on the boot options?
[10:48] <Skrypt> blackjac3l: did you run the CD test to make sure the CD isn't corrupt?
[10:49] <howlingmadhowie> sveweck: i'm sure they're working on it :)

[10:50] <Skrypt> blackjac3l: if howlingmadhowie can't set you straight, give the 32bit a shot. 64's more hassle than it's worth.
[10:50] <[miles] > so, is anyone else getting this segfault at all?
[10:50] <Kawika> Unfortunately, marui just proved that linux is not quite ready for mainstream :-(
[10:50] <Skrypt> Kawika: definitely not. But it's close
[10:50] <Skrypt> Especially in respects to wireless....
[10:51] <howlingmadhowie> (now i just have to find an ubuntu cd that isn't for sparc processors...)
[10:51] <Kawika> Skrypt: I'm watching for that day.  I have a few clients I'd love to get off Windows.
[10:51] <Skrypt> ffs... I spent 2 weeks hammering out the kinks on a bcm43xx wireless card... :-/
[10:52] <Kawika> This current machine is an Intel board and chip, and it was really painless to install.. everything worked
[10:52] <Skrypt> Kawika: Gutsy is looking promising... and if you remember where linux was a year ago and compare it to where it is today... wow.. "compile" isn't even a word in Ubuntu... lol
[10:52] <howlingmadhowie> blackjac3l: okay: put the cd in the drive. wait till the screen appears where you can select what you want to do, press F6. delete 'quiet' and 'splash'. press enter
[10:52] <Kawika> Skrypt: Ubuntu is great.  I'm loving it.  I tried to get into Linux back in the Slackware days
[10:53] <Frogzoo> [miles] : 1st thing to do is run strace to see where the segfault happens
[10:53] <[miles] > Frogzoo: it got stuck in a loop
[10:53] <[miles] > it's on my laptop, I'll check it out again shortly
[10:53] <[miles] > just wondered if it's something known, or just me
[10:53] <sveweck> Guys, am I correct in thinking that "Magic Sysrq" means "key combo I can press to safely get out of even the worst deadlock, as opposed to a cold reboot"?
[10:53] <[miles] > lol
[10:54] <jk-> sveweck: almost
[10:54] <Kawika> sveweck: what problem are you having?
[10:54] <jk-> alt + sysrq + s = sync all disks
[10:54] <jk-> alt + sysrq + u = unmount
[10:54] <jk-> alt + sysrq + b = reboot
[10:55] <jk-> but there are some situaltions where it won't work.
[10:55] <howlingmadhowie> Skrypt: that has something to do with the size of the community, i think. no matter what software you want to install, someone somewhere will have a nice deb repository with it in.
[10:55] <blackjac3l> howlingmadhowie: ok i did that and absolutely nothing different happned
[10:55] <Skrypt> Kawika: I tried out Redhat for the first time almost 10 years ago... (only 20 now) Lasted for a bit... Gave up for a few months. Tried Mandrake. Gave up for some time. Came back to Mandrake 2-3 times more... and am now happily sitting in Ubuntu with no plans on leaving.
[10:56] <Skrypt> howlingmadhowie: yeah.. that's what makes it so great.
[10:56] <sveweck> jk-: right, thanks
[10:56] <howlingmadhowie> blackjac3l: then something's going wrong very early in procedings. either you use the 32bit version, or you try gutsy
[10:57] <sveweck> Kawika: from time to time the whole PC becomes unresponsive, so I cold reboot and the FS gets severely corrupted everytime as it's ext3 on top of NTFS (because I installed with Wubi)
[10:57] <Kawika> Skrypt: that's about when I tried "Slackware 96".  I'd get a variety of Linux loaded, and format before too long.  Had FC5 recently, then formated it for ubuntu.  Having a blast now.
[10:57] <thyraxII> any good bittorent client for xubuntu? azerus was too slow and glicthy when i ran it on gnome
[10:57] <Kawika> sveweck: are you about to CTRL-ALT-F1 and login at that point?
[10:58] <Kawika> sveweck: sorry... about=able
[10:58] <sveweck> Kawika: nope :(
[10:58] <thyraxII> anyone?
[10:59] <sveweck> Kawika: Neither do Ctrl+Alt+Backspace and Ctrl+Alt+Del work
[10:59] <Kawika> sveweck: that's a bummer.  I have a Edubuntu Server system giving me grief on shutdown.  I have to login and shutdown via terminal on that one.
[10:59] <Kawika> sveweck: are you pretty set on Wubi?
[10:59] <Kawika> sveweck: would it be worth backing up and clean installing Ubuntu?
[10:59] <howlingmadhowie> blackjac3l: i you want to stick to 64-bit edgy, you can spend some time researching 'kernel options at boot time', but that will soon get extremely boring
[11:00] <gado902> hola
[11:00] <MikeRotch> does anyone know of any program that maybe could help me with compiling... say i point it to a directory and it does it for me? =P
[11:00] <MikeRotch> i want to install joomals for html build
[11:00] <MikeRotch> joomla*
[11:00] <MikeRotch> weee
[11:00] <sveweck> Kawika: I'd love to, but it's impossible: my CD drive is faulty and so the normal CD installation fails. that's why I fell back to wubi.
[11:00] <Kawika> howlingmadhowie: that sounds like some bedtime reading for sleepless nights.. haha
[11:00] <arya_ok> aloooooooooooooooow
[11:01] <MikeRotch> sup arya
[11:01] <dimebar> MikeRotch: compile what?
[11:01] <Kawika> sveweck: cd drives are quite inexpensive right?
[11:01] <MikeRotch> like i guess to install a program
[11:01] <MikeRotch> it's called joomla
[11:01] <bayu> how to make path in linux???
[11:01] <dimebar> MikeRotch: joomla is written in php
[11:01] <dimebar> MikeRotch: it doesn't need to be compiled
[11:01] <howlingmadhowie> MikeRotch: i thought joomla was nothing more than a collection of php scripts for a lamp installation?
[11:02] <howlingmadhowie> bayu: make path?
[11:02] <sveweck> Kawika: I don't have the option to change hardware right now. This is my uncle's computer and he wouldn't like the idea of having to actually buy hardware just for Linux.
[11:02] <sveweck> Kawika: (because it works fine in Windows)
[11:02] <Kawika> howlingmadhowie: Joomla is a Content Managment type website software.  I run it on several sites.
[11:02] <bayu> create path
[11:02] <dimebar> MikeRotch: download the latest joomla from their site (1.5 rc i think), install apache/php/mysql using synaptic and there is a README file that comes with joomla that gives you installation instructions
[11:02] <howlingmadhowie> Kawika: yeah, i know it's a cms solution. but i thought it was basically just a collection of php scripts :)
[11:02] <sveweck> Kawika: anyway, thanks. I'll just do the sysrq thing for now.
[11:03] <Kawika> sveweck: sounds good.
[11:03] <MikeRotch> k
[11:03] <MikeRotch> yea i got to install it i think
[11:03] <MikeRotch> oh boy
[11:03] <Kawika> howlingmadhowie: it has a lot of really cool modules you can add.  It helps us non-web designer types :p
[11:04] <Xride> what version of ubuntu to pick for production usage?
[11:04] <sveweck> Feisty...
[11:04] <howlingmadhowie> Kawika: and it looks pretty :) (www.joomla.org)
[11:04] <dimebar> MikeRotch: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Joomla
[11:05] <moldy> hi
[11:05] <Kawika> howlingmadhowie: yes it does.  Plus with templates, very customizable.  Again for us web designed challenged..hehe
[11:05] <LuitvD> why can't my Network Manager configure my wireless device correctly? I installed the SVN version of the rt61 driver, but I can't make Network Manager use it correctly
[11:05] <dimebar> hi moldy
[11:05] <biberao> hi
[11:05] <moldy> in kde, can konqueror not "directly" display text files? do i need to launch kate for a plain text file?
[11:06] <howlingmadhowie> Xride: some would say Dapper Drake (the version with long term support). it's probably more stable than feisty, but on the other hand, it's already more than a year old
[11:07] <howlingmadhowie> Kawika: i've been asked to do a webpage for a studentenverbindung here in germany (sort of like a fraternity), so i'm in the market for a cms at the moment anyway. i'll play around with joomla for a bit
[11:08] <Kawika> howlingmadhowie: definitely look into it.  Also look at various modules, and you might want to consider CommunityBuilder, which creates a community type situation (with profiles, etc).
[11:08] <ubuntuindia> i have a broadband connection that requires me to type a username and password. For configuring this connection, should i use the ethernet adapter configuration or modem configuration? :-/
[11:08] <moldy> ubuntuindia: depends on your ISP i think
[11:09] <ubuntuindia> moldy: in what way?
[11:09] <moldy> ubuntuindia: probably ethernet
[11:09] <moldy> ubuntuindia: what protocol it uses for the connection. here in germany, it is usualy PPPoE
[11:09] <Kawika> ubuntuindia: sounds like a PPOE type connection (broadband with login).
[11:09] <ubuntuindia> moldy: ethernet configuration doesn't show the user name password fields :(
[11:09] <moldy> ubuntuindia: it might also be PPTP, though
[11:09] <ubuntuindia> Kawika: maybe
[11:10] <moldy> i don't know the "ubuntu way" to configure it, sorry. i am usually editing text files
[11:10] <Casperin> q: is passive FTP enabled by definition? And how do I disable it?
[11:10] <_trine> I have found a way to consistently crash ubuntu would that be of any interest to the developers
[11:10] <moldy> Casperin: in which application?
[11:10] <Casperin> just the general "Connect to a remote computer or..."
[11:10] <ubuntuindia> moldy: ohh... which text files i should be looking at, in that case?
[11:10] <moldy> Casperin: server or client (which one?)?
[11:11] <moldy> ubuntuindia: better ask someone who is more firm with ubuntu than me
[11:11] <Casperin> client sorry
[11:11] <Kawika> ubuntuindia: assuming as the name implies, you are in India, try this: http://www.ubuntu-in.org/wiki/Broadband_Howto
[11:11] <moldy> Casperin: you want passive ftp usually
[11:11] <Casperin> yeah, I know.. but in this specific case it needs to be active
[11:11] <ubuntuindia> Kawika: yes i am in india... lemme check the link. thanks :-)
[11:11] <Kawika> ubuntuindia: np
[11:11] <moldy> how do i install a printer for which i have a PPD file?
[11:12] <howlingmadhowie> Kawika: cool, will do :)
[11:12] <moldy> Casperin: i don't know what "general connect to" is... is it part of gnome?
[11:13] <Casperin> oh.. yeah it is :)
[11:13] <moldy> no idea then, sorry. might not be possible.
[11:13] <moldy> why do you need active ftp?
[11:13] <Casperin> it's needed to connect to a certain server.. god knows why
[11:14] <Casperin> is there some other ftp program you'd recommend then? I'm quite new to Ubuntu still
[11:14] <howlingmadhowie> moldy: in the install new printer dialog, you can enter the driver you want to use. just go to the ppd file and select it.
[11:14] <Tomo_> grrr finally got my sound working... installed my graphics card and now the sound has stopped again.
[11:14] <metbsd> anyone use openwebmail? i have error " Couldn't update index db " when i try to open "sent"
[11:14] <Kawika> howlingmadhowie: http://www.joomlapolis.com/ is the link to Community Builder.
[11:14] <moldy> howlingmadhowie: i am on kde, sorry, forgot to mention that
[11:14] <moldy> howlingmadhowie: i could switch to gnome though (have both installed)
[11:15] <Tomo_> few kinks to work out me thinks
[11:15] <Frogzoo> Casperin: just 'ftp' will be active by default
[11:15] <howlingmadhowie> moldy: oo, it's been a while since i last used kde. can't help you there. i think the printer settings are system wide, so try installing it in gnome
[11:15] <moldy> howlingmadhowie: ok, thanks
[11:15] <tbuss> when connecting to another box via ssh, I'm prompted for the user and passwd even though I have that info stored in my keyring mgr. Is there a way I can fix this?
[11:15] <Thomsen> hi all ... short question how can i do following ( in php ) on the shell ? >     $x= "some"; $x.=" text"; echo $x; ( --> some text )
[11:15] <vanberge> out of curiosity, does anyone use ubuntu studio? or have the studio packages?
[11:15] <Casperin> frogzoo: where? how?
[11:16] <howlingmadhowie> Kawika: okey-dokey :)
[11:16] <Frogzoo> Casperin: ftp, from the command line
[11:17] <Casperin> hmm
[11:17] <moldy> Thomsen: you can, if you have the php command line interpreter installed
[11:17] <ubuntuindia> Kawika: This was awesome... the link you gave solves my problem. Thanks a bunch, again! :)
[11:18] <Kawika> ubuntuindia: no problem.  Happy surfing ;)
[11:18] <elkbuntu> Thomsen, do you mean use php through the shell, or convert that script to a bash script?
[11:18] <Casperin> frogzoo, you mean with the terminal?
[11:18] <Casperin> I'm kind of stupid at this, but I could give it a go
[11:18] <howlingmadhowie> Thomsen: use 'php5 --interactive'. the first line you enter must be '<php'
[11:20] <howlingmadhowie> Thomsen: sorry. the first line must be '<?php'
[11:20] <PrMoriarty> hello what do you use for a server Dhcp?
[11:20] <howlingmadhowie> !pastebin
[11:20] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[11:21] <Ozy> hello all.  I humbly request some pointers on an issue i have exhaustively searched on and am approaching desperation.
[11:21] <Kawika> PrMoriarty: can you be a bit more specific?  What situation?
[11:21] <howlingmadhowie> Thomsen: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31372/
[11:21] <howlingmadhowie> oh, he's gone
[11:22] <howlingmadhowie> Ozy: this chatroom has a 'don't ask, don't tell' policy :) (in other words: just ask!)
[11:23] <Ozy> I have an 3TB array that the default GENERIC kernel on Ubuntu 7.04 isn't seeing.  After searching, I think the reason is that Large Block Devices is not enabled.  I tried following the kernel rebuild guide on the forum, yet in 'make menuconfig', under block layer, the choices for CONFIG_LBD and CONFIG_LSF is not present.  Many websites claim that it should be.  I am running a dual core dual processor Xeon Nacona CPU setup with two 3ware cards, a 80
[11:24] <Ozy> the kernel sees it as 700GB of 2700GB, indicating a LBD issue.  If i turn on auto-carving and i make arrays under 2GB, they are fully seen.
[11:25] <Ozy> i am running ubuntu 7.04 server 64bit
[11:26] <PrMoriarty> Kawika: i want to build a dhcp server that s all
[11:26] <PrMoriarty> i use dhcp3-server?
[11:26] <PrMoriarty> but if i remember well i need another package no?
[11:26] <Kawika> PrMoriarty:  do you have 2 network cards in that computer ?
[11:27] <PrMoriarty> Kawika: no just one
[11:27] <Kawika> PrMoriarty: actually, that might not be critical, if it is only going to be DHCP server.
[11:27] <PrMoriarty> Kawika: eth0 i edit the /etc/default/dhcp3-server and add INTERFACES="eth0"
[11:27] <PrMoriarty> Kawika: ok apt-get install dhcp3-server?
[11:28] <PrMoriarty> Kawika: it s the only one package needed?
[11:28] <israel> hi
[11:28] <howlingmadhowie> Ozy: have you tried asking in #kernel ?
[11:29] <Kawika> PrMoriarty: that should work.  It should get whatever dependencies it needs.
[11:29] <Ozy> no, i can.  is that a more appropriate place to ask this question?
[11:29] <defcon> any way to make scanning with nmap over wifi faster?
[11:29] <defcon> i have 2 ms ping to my router is that good
[11:29] <howlingmadhowie> Ozy: i think so. this forum tends to spend most of its time concentrating on how to upload videos to myspace :)
[11:29] <Ozy> heh
[11:29] <Ozy> so most help reqired here is more desktop / client based?
[11:30] <Kawika> Ozy: sorry, I don't have 3TB handy to test.. :p  My wimpy .8TB is on a Windows Server :-(
[11:30] <howlingmadhowie> Ozy: exactly :)
[11:30] <Ozy> thanks.  I'm a sys admin at ebay and we have this issue
[11:30] <ari_stress> hi gall
[11:30] <howlingmadhowie> Ozy: and for large computing needs, i tend to use opensolaris and zfs anyway *ducks*
[11:30] <magnetron> defcon: nmap has an option to increase the throttling
[11:30] <Ozy> thx for the pointers.  i will try there
[11:30] <ari_stress> s/gall/all
[11:30] <defcon> ok
[11:30] <Kawika> Ozy: that would explain the little bit of storage you have.. :p
[11:31] <PrMoriarty> Kawika: /etc/init.d/dhcpd3-server start [FAILED]  ...
[11:31] <Ozy> howlingmadhowie: i love ZFS.  absolutely love it, but opensolaris doesnt have 3ware support
[11:31] <howlingmadhowie> Ozy: just a question: ebay.com or which site?
[11:31] <defcon> magnetron, why is nmap so slow on wifi
[11:31] <defcon> im not even far away from the router
[11:31] <Ozy> ebay.com, paypal.com, kijiji.com, all international sites, carad.com, skype.com
[11:31] <Kawika> PrMoriarty: let me boot my other machine and look.
[11:32] <npnufn> how can I add a loop back adapter in ubuntu?  any wiki?
[11:32] <howlingmadhowie> Ozy: i thought ebay was a big sun site. however, netcraft tells me that paypal and skype both use apache on linux
[11:32] <Ozy> we are a huge mix
[11:32] <magnetron> npnufn: you alreadu have one
[11:32] <npnufn> magnetron: I want additional one to create a virtual host
[11:32] <Ozy> ebay.com is windblows boxes running tomcat ontop of solaris oracle
[11:32] <howlingmadhowie> Ozy: oh, and if you have any influence, do something about ebay.de! it seems to get really slow during peak load :)
[11:32] <aieie> !list
[11:32] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[11:33] <Ozy> paypal is linux
[11:33] <duluu> is anyone had success running Ubuntu on Sun Enterprise 3500
[11:33] <duluu> ?
[11:33] <Ozy> ebay's mail subsystem is all linux
[11:33] <Ozy> ebay.de is one of our most important sites
[11:33] <howlingmadhowie> Ozy: and everything works together :) how nice of microsoft to spend their time insuring interoperability :)
[11:33] <Ozy> #1 ebay.com, with ebay.co.uk and ebay.de being #2
[11:34] <Ozy> howlingmadhowie: heh, we only use windows due to legacy.  our apps should be portable since its tomcat, too much infrastructure to swap out
[11:34] <Cyber34> I was wondering if there was any way to restor Ubuntu back to a previous state like the Function Windows does when it can't boot into it. I screwed around with some display drivers that I shouldn't have and on rebooting XServer (or something similar) refused to load and thus I could not get into Ubuntu's GUI
[11:34] <Cyber34> restore*
[11:34] <npnufn> magnetron: 127.0.0.1/localhost is routed apache,  I want to 127.0.0.2/somedomain.com for that!
[11:34] <Ozy> my team is in charge of the front 10,000 application servers and load balancers for the primary site
[11:35] <npnufn> for another virtual host
[11:35] <howlingmadhowie> Ozy: 10,000? that's a lot. i think #kernel would be a better bet than #ubuntu :) or maybe if you have problems go to canonical direct. i'm sure they'd be happy to help
[11:35] <magnetron> npnufn: you should config the virtual hosts with the apache config
[11:35] <Ozy> we use IBM Blades , each blade currently is a dual core dual proc amd 8GB ram, two 15K RPM SAS 163GB raid 1 with dual broadcom gigabit
[11:36] <Ozy> 14 blades per chassis, almost 800 chassis
[11:36] <magnetron> !offtopic | Ozy
[11:36] <ubotu> Ozy: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[11:36] <npnufn> magnetron: the manual says to create another loop back adapter for another ip other than 127.0.0.1 ( since it is bounded to localhost)
[11:36] <Ozy> magnetron: i was asked this information, i didnt start it
[11:36] <magnetron> npnufn: WHAT manual
[11:37] <npnufn> http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/core.html#namevirtualhost
[11:37] <howlingmadhowie> Ozy: don't worry. but i think the rest of us should get back to 'how to change the desktop background' and other interesting things :) good luck in #kernel or with canonical
[11:38] <Ozy> thx
[11:38] <Cyber34> Any help here?
[11:39] <howlingmadhowie> Cyber34: in /etc/X11 you should find lots of versions of xorg.conf (things like xorg.conf.old and others). try replacing xorg.conf with an older version and restarting the x-server
[11:39] <Cyber34> how exactly would I replace it with an older version using the command line?
[11:40] <Kawika> PrMoriarty: I looked at my other machine, and apparently it's not running DHCP3-server
[11:40] <Kawika> PrMoriarty: have you looked in your System Logs ?
[11:40] <magnetron> npnufn: the documentation for name-based virtual hosts doesn't say that you should set up another loopback interface. i get a feeling you are trying to do ip-based virtual hosts instead of name-based dito.
[11:40] <Ozy> ok here's a basic question, being new to ubuntu, but not linux, does ubuntu have a ncurses interface for setting up networking information or do i have to simply edit /etc/networks/interfaces by hand every time?
[11:40] <Cyber34> I'm still getting used to Linux, only installed Ubuntu yesterday, everything went very fine and I loved how everything just worked, rebooted this morning to find that unlicky message
[11:41] <Cyber34> unlucky*
[11:41] <howlingmadhowie> Cyber34: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31375/
[11:41] <Cyber34> thank you Howling, I shall try it
[11:42] <npnufn> magnetron: thanx, still I am in confusion how to do it!  I'll try some thing else to create my subdomain.
[11:43] <magnetron> npnufn: you'll want to add a name-based virtual host. maybe there is an #apache channel
[11:43] <howlingmadhowie> Ozy: 'apt-cache search ncurses network' doesn't tell me anything useful. do you use an ncurses interface on another distribution? if yes, search ubuntuforums.org for the software you use and try to find a deb-repository with it in
[11:44] <npnufn> magnetron: thanx for right direction!
[11:46] <illissius> hi. whenever I try using mupen64 (an N64 emulator), it works, but after a few minutes it crashes the X server, which then goes into an infinite crash-restart loop (as far as I can tell), and I have to reboot
[11:46] <illissius> anyone have an idea why this is and how I can cause it to no longer be?
[11:47] <moldy> can i install a printer using a PDD file?
[11:47] <moldy> note: PDD, not PPD
[11:48] <illissius> I think it might be an OpenGL issue, but I don't remember Beryl having the same problem
[11:49] <PrMoriarty> how can in uninstall a package with apt-get?
[11:49] <howlingmadhowie> illissius: that sounds like a pretty specific problem. when x starts continuously starting and crashing, you can probably stop that by going to a console and killing gdm.
[11:49] <bcbooteR> is everyone else going inot the overflow channel when they try to connect #linux?
[11:49] <illissius> I tried
[11:50] <illissius> it doesn't respond
[11:50] <howlingmadhowie> PrMoriarty: 'man apt-get' (the answer you want is apt-get remove)
[11:50] <illissius> (to anything, pretty much)
[11:50] <PrMoriarty> howlingmadhowie: X
[11:50] <illissius> pressing the power button gets it to initiate shutdown, that's about it
[11:51] <PrMoriarty> howlingmadhowie: you can t just say me the keyword?
[11:51] <Kawika> PrMoriarty: he did.  apt-get remove appname
[11:51] <howlingmadhowie> illissius: when it happens the next time go to alt+ctrl+F2 and log yourself in (you can come back to the windowing system by alt+ctrl+f7). there you can switch off the windowing system and restart it. (but you may have already tried that)
[11:51] <sveweck> Hi guys. `/etc/init.d/mysql start` produces a "[fail] " message. Anything I could do to fix it, or at least get a verbose error message?
[11:51] <illissius> yes, I tried this
[11:52] <PrMoriarty> ok i find in man too
[11:52] <illissius> ctrl-alt-Fanything doesn't work, nor does ctrl-alt-backspace, or anything else I could try
[11:52] <PrMoriarty> just tired to learn sutff of your OS
[11:52] <howlingmadhowie> sveweck: have you tried creating a database? (i think under ubuntu you have to do that first before you can start mysql)
[11:52] <illissius> the X crashing repeatedly isn't the main problem, anyways
[11:52] <illissius> it's that X crashes in the first place whenever I use mupen64
[11:53] <sveweck> howlingmadhowie: yes, MySQL was working fine until now, it already has a website's database inside.
[11:53] <illissius> (and oddly enough, not instantly, but after a few minutes)
[11:53] <howlingmadhowie> illissius: then i think the problem is a bit too specific for me.
[11:53] <sveweck> howlingmadhowie: the problem began after a cold reboot
[11:53] <IanTheMoxious> does anybody have time to help a newbie with a partitioning problem?
[11:53] <illissius> howlingmadhowie: okay, thanks for the help
[11:54] <Ozy> howlingmadhowie: just some consoel based network configurator would be nice
[11:54] <illissius> in case it's a general OpenGL issue (I don't really use any other OpenGL apps), do you have any ideas in that case?
[11:54] <sveweck> !ask | IanTheMoxious
[11:54] <ubotu> IanTheMoxious: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[11:54] <IanTheMoxious> ok cool, thanks
[11:55] <howlingmadhowie> sveweck: oh, now that could be the reason. try starting mysql from the command line (i.e. mysqld_safe) and using various command-line options
[11:55] <Cyber34> Thank you Howling, that worked fine
[11:55] <ubuntu1098765432> does ubuntu have a defragmentation tool?
[11:55] <howlingmadhowie> illissius: you can check if opengl is configured and working by entering 'glxgears'
[11:56] <IanTheMoxious> I am new to linux and partitioning for that matter.  My hard disk currently has a mess of partitions on it (from a linux install and windows) all I want to do is get rid of all the partitions and gather it into one large disk again
[11:56] <sveweck> ubuntu1098765432: it isn't supposed to need one
[11:56] <illissius> opengl itself works
[11:56] <howlingmadhowie> ubuntu1098765432: no. defragmentation happens continuously in the background
[11:56] <illissius> like, for a few minutes, it works perfectly
[11:56] <illissius> and then X crashes
[11:56] <howlingmadhowie> illissius: what sort of graphics card do you have?
[11:56] <ubuntu1098765432> I was a prior windows user and my disk is probably fragmented?  it does it in the background
[11:56] <ubuntu1098765432> ?
[11:56] <illissius> Intel 950
[11:57] <howlingmadhowie> illissius: to the best of my knowledge, the intel 950 should work well
[11:57] <Kawika> IanTheMoxious: what operating system are you trying to finish with?
[11:57] <illissius> my other suspicion is that it's a memory leak
[11:57] <illissius> e.g. X gets killed by OOM
[11:57] <ubuntu1098765432> So defragmentation happens in the background, automatically?
[11:57] <Balachmar> Hi, does anyone know of a program in which I can add highlights and comments to a pdf?
[11:58] <illissius> which would explain why it only happens after a few minutes, and perhaps why it keeps recrashing afterwards
[11:58] <sveweck> Balachmar: okular, I think
[11:58] <IanTheMoxious> well, I plan on wiping the disk clean, installing windows (because I need it for a few programs) and then also installing Ubuntu (my first time with ubuntu).  In other words, I want to start over with a clean disk that has no partitions
[11:58] <Cyber34> ubuntu1098765432: from what I understand Linux runs differently than windows, you don't need to defragment at all
[11:58] <howlingmadhowie> illissius: sounds possible. i wouldn't want to hazard a guess however, because i really don't know
[11:58] <Balachmar> sveweck: ok I am looking into it
[11:59] <howlingmadhowie> ubuntu1098765432: it depends upon your file system type. the default type under ubuntu defragments itself in the background automagically
[11:59] <Kawika> IanTheMoxious: I think in the process of installing Windows, you can delete all partitions.  I haven't tried it recently though.
[11:59] <ubuntu1098765432> I chose Guided-replace all space when I set-up
[11:59] <bcbooteR> IanTheMoxious, you want(need) separate partitions for windows and ubuntu.
[11:59] <illissius> trouble is, in Gentoo I'd just try different versions of X, the kernel, and whatever else, until I find one that works
[11:59] <bcbooteR> they cant be on the same partition
[12:00] <ubuntu1098765432> I chose to do the whole drive and remove all disk space on partition
[12:00] <illissius> but I don't know what I can in this situation with Ubuntu
[12:00] <bcbooteR> basically u want either 4 or 3  partitions if running ops's, linux swap, linux / , windows
[12:00] <IanTheMoxious> yes, I know I need separate partitions, what I am saying is I have a mess of them now and I want them all gone so I can start from scratch.. I didn't know that windows had such a nice partitioning tool
[12:00] <ubuntu1098765432> All I have is ubuntu on the guided install to use whole disk....
[12:00] <bcbooteR> OH
[12:00] <troughton> i am wanting to ask some one about partitioning a hard drive to install multipul versions of linux i know i can only have 4 primary partitions so my question is dose the home folder have to be on a primary and dose the root directory need to be on a primary ?
[12:01] <illissius> the W2K installer, at least, lets you delete partitions iirc
[12:01] <illissius> IanTheMoxious: but you can also like use a livecd and use gparted, qtparted, parted, fdisk or something to delete them
[12:02] <IanTheMoxious> I am currently running on an Ubuntu live cd
[12:02] <illissius> or cat /dev/zero > /dev/hda for the hardcore :> (note: don't do this unless you really want to wipe the disk.)
[12:02] <Kawika> illissius: using the livecd may be the best option at this point.
[12:02] <IanTheMoxious> I have looked at the partitioning tool that it comes with, but I don't understand anything about how it works
[12:02] <ubuntu1098765432> LAST desperate question if answered-  How do I get a higher resolution with the desktop effects standard with an ATI radeon 9600 card... Higher resolution like I had on windows above 10240X768  ....higher than this??? I've done everything including crash my system and NO answer?  So anyone with balls and a solution is welcome to give it a stab?!
[12:02] <IanTheMoxious> I am a complete newbie
[12:03] <illissius> IanTheMoxious: does right click on a partition, choose delete work?
[12:03] <IanTheMoxious> well, I haven't tried illissius because it has lock symbles next to several of the linux partitions (swap and extended)
[12:03] <illissius> hmm
[12:04] <illissius> the swap is in the extended partition?
[12:04] <illissius> it's probably using it :|
[12:04] <IanTheMoxious> Oh, sorry but I don't know what that means.. my feet are barely wet with linux
[12:05] <illissius> well, try deleting it anyways
[12:05] <illissius> either it won't let you, it'll stop using it before deleting
[12:05] <erUSUL> !fixres | ubuntu1098765432
[12:05] <troughton> you have to unmout any partition you want to format ianthemoxious
[12:05] <ubotu> ubuntu1098765432: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[12:05] <IanTheMoxious> the delete function is greyed out on the extened and swap partitions so that I cannot do it
[12:06] <illissius> IanTheMoxious: do Alt-F2, xterm, to open a terminal
[12:06] <bimmelim> how do I share a directory over LAN?
[12:06] <Quinton_> When I boot ubuntu after installation it says my x server graphical interface wasnt installed correctly and prompts me to a user command thing... what to do?
[12:07] <illissius> and then sudo swapoff in the terminal
[12:07] <IanTheMoxious> ok, but a quick question... I don't even know what the swap is lol
[12:07] <Quinton_> When I boot ubuntu after installation it says my x server graphical interface wasnt installed correctly and prompts me to a user command thing... what to do?
[12:08] <Kawika> IanTheMoxious: much like Windows has a swap file, Linux creates a partition it uses to temporarily store info
[12:08] <illissius> when your physical memory (where your running programs are stored) gets full, it stores the excess on the hard disk, which is called the swap
[12:08] <ubuntu1098765432> I saw that link earlier and it didn't work for me
[12:08] <IanTheMoxious> oh ok I get it
[12:09] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: what tells you to enter a command? does some sort of graphical interface start, or does it look like an old dos window?
[12:09] <Quinton_> its liek
[12:09] <Quinton_> black
[12:09] <Quinton_> white font
[12:09] <bcbooteR> UR A ROCK AND ROLL START BABY FEEL MY LOVE : ) I LOVE U ALL
[12:09] <Quinton_> says x graphical interface doesnt work
[12:09] <Quinton_> and now
[12:09] <Quinton_> has
[12:10] <IanTheMoxious> now all partitions are locked and greyed out
[12:10] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: please don't use <enter> for punctuation :)
[12:10] <Quinton_> quinton@ ubuntu: ~$ with a blinking cursor
[12:10] <illissius> IanTheMoxious: from the swapoff thing? that's... odd. try restarting the partitioning tool
[12:11] <vandenoever> hi, i'm trying to install krb5-user, but get a package error
[12:11] <vandenoever>   krb5-user: Depends: libkadm55 but it is not going to be installed
[12:11] <vandenoever>              Depends: libkadm55 (= 1.4.3-5ubuntu0.4) but it is not going to be installed
[12:11] <IanTheMoxious> illissius: tool restarted, all still locked
[12:12] <ge2x> if i remove ubuntu-desktop would that mess things up?
[12:12] <vandenoever> problem is i cannot install libkadm55
[12:12] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: then you are now on the command line. what sort of graphics card do you have, and what command did it suggest exactly?
[12:12] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: fixable?
[12:13] <illissius> IanTheMoxious: hmm :/. how big is your hard disk?
[12:13] <Kawika> IanTheMoxious:  if you have a computer you can burn a CD, try this: http://partitionlogic.org.uk/
[12:13] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: don't know yet. probably. if you saw a windowing environment when you installed (i.e. you installed from a standard live cd) then it most definately is fixable
[12:13] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: installed from text mode
[12:13] <IanTheMoxious> illissius: about 500G total
[12:14] <vandenoever> libkadm55: Depends: libkrb53 (= 1.4.3-5) but 1.4.3-5ubuntu0.4 is to be installed
[12:14] <vandenoever> so, both are 1.4.3-5, i dont see where the error is
[12:14] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: so what's your graphics card? 'lspci | grep VGA'
[12:14] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: nvidia
[12:14] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: which model?
[12:15] <IanTheMoxious> kawika: great thanks for the recommendationg I may have to use it
[12:15] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: no clue.... sony vaio vgn-ar520e
[12:15] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: is the computer model number
[12:15] <Kawika> IanTheMoxious: it seems like an easy way out of a jam :p
[12:15] <Balachmar> sveweck: okular doesn't run under gnome
[12:15] <illissius> IanTheMoxious: the partitioning tool shows the device for the partitions, like /dev/hda1 right?
[12:16] <IanTheMoxious> illissius: yes
[12:16] <Souljah> hi guys
[12:16] <Souljah> i need some help
[12:16] <sveweck> Balachmar: it does.
[12:16] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: GeForce 8400M GT
[12:16] <Souljah> i'm unable to install the latest skype version
[12:16] <Balachmar> sveweck: I have just installed it from the repos...
[12:16] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: howlingmadhowie: if thats what sony says
[12:16] <illissius> do sudo cat /dev/zero > /dev/hda (whatever it shows, without the number at the end) in the terminal, stop it (ctrl-c) after a few seconds, and reboot the livecd
[12:16] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: but thats supported isnt it?
[12:16] <Balachmar> sveweck: but I can't find it anywhere and get this:
[12:16] <sveweck> Balachmar: and the problem is?
[12:16] <Balachmar>  /usr/lib/kde4/bin/okular
[12:16] <Balachmar> /usr/lib/kde4/bin/okular: error while loading shared libraries: libkparts.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[12:16] <illissius> that's a rather ugly solution, but you want to wipe the disk anyways, so it should work :>
[12:17] <sveweck> Balachmar: you also need to install KDE4's kdelibs
[12:17] <Kawika> illissius: if at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer :p
[12:17] <illissius> yep
[12:17] <IanTheMoxious> heh
[12:17] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: i'd suggest changing the video driver back to something very simple. like 'vesa'. can you manage that yourself, or should i tell you how to do that?
[12:18] <IanTheMoxious> ok guys, going to go play.  thanks
[12:18] <illissius> if violence doesn't solve the problem, you're not using enough of it
[12:18] <Kawika> illissius: hehe
[12:18] <sirbijan> hey ppl
[12:18] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: please tell
[12:18] <Kawika> IanTheMoxious: happy trails...
[12:18] <sirbijan> got this stupid question
[12:18] <ianRG> greets gents
[12:18] <Balachmar> sveweck: weird that wasn't a dependancy..
[12:18] <Frezeeer> hi, I just lost the trash function, I mean I have the trash in my desktop but it appears to be empty, but /home/xxx/.Trash does have the files, any idea how to set it back to "normal" behavior????
[12:18] <sirbijan> anybody ready to be shot?!
[12:18] <sirbijan> with my question of course ;)
[12:18] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: okay. from where you are now, type the following: cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old
[12:18] <sveweck> Frezeeer: gnome or kde?
[12:19] <ianRG> hypothetically i want to upgrade apache2.0 to 2.1 or any other common program for that matter. can i just "apt-get upgrade"
[12:19] <Frezeeer> sveweck:  gnome
[12:19] <Balachmar> sveweck: just installed the kdelibs and it still doesn't work... get the same error
[12:19] <Souljah> Ok finally
[12:19] <Souljah> All right
[12:19] <Souljah> I'm trying to install skype v1.4
[12:19] <Souljah> however
[12:20] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: /etc/X11/xorg.conf permission denied
[12:20] <Souljah> it says i need many dependecies
[12:20] <Souljah> like libasound2
[12:20] <Souljah> i don't have the latest one
[12:20] <sveweck> Balachmar: are you sure you installed the KDE4 kdelibs and not the KDE3?
[12:20] <Souljah> and synaptic doesn't provide it
[12:20] <Souljah> how do i make the latest skype work for ubuntu 6.06
[12:20] <Souljah> dapper drake
[12:20] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: oh, sorry. my bad: 'sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old' then enter your password when it asks for it
[12:20] <Balachmar> sveweck: yes
[12:21] <Kawika> ianRG: I just tried that.  I think that command will look for all upgrades ??
[12:21] <Balachmar> sveweck: I think I also have kdelibs5
[12:21] <Kawika> ianRG: I'm running Ubuntu Feisty, and in the GUI, I get a notification of upgrades available.
[12:21] <sveweck> that's it exactly
[12:21] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: do i type all of that in one enter?
[12:21] <Souljah> Anyone?
[12:21] <sveweck> Balachmar: ls /usr/lib/kde4/lib/
[12:21] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: yep. hangon, i'll paste something on pastebin
[12:22] <illissius> frowns
[12:22] <Balachmar> sveweck: it has a folder kde4 in it
[12:22] <illissius> is there any safe way to install a newer version of X.org and/or the intel graphics driver and/or the kernel, than what is available in the feisty repos?
[12:22] <attunix> hi
[12:23] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: it says the commands not found
[12:23] <Kawika> Souljah: how did you install Skype?
[12:23] <sveweck> Balachmar: then ls /usr/lib/kde4/lib/kde4/
[12:23] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: guide me through how to enter all this.... lol
[12:23] <Balachmar> sveweck: ok, what am I looking for?
[12:24] <Jordan_U> illissius, Are you using -intel or i810?
[12:24] <illissius>         Driver          "i810"
[12:24] <Jordan_U> illissius, install xorg-driver-intel
[12:25] <sveweck> Balachmar: libkparts.so.4
[12:25] <Jordan_U> illissius, Then replace "i810" with "intel" or reconfigure X
[12:25] <Jordan_U> !xconfig | illissius
[12:25] <ubotu> illissius: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  - To configure only the driver and resolution, type  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh  - See also !FixRes
[12:25] <Balachmar> sveweck: I have that in the first folder you pointed me :)
[12:26] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31377/
[12:26] <illissius> Jordan_U: xserver-xorg-video-intel?
[12:26] <Balachmar> sveweck: libkparts.so.5
[12:26] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: i will try
[12:27] <illissius> alright, let's see..
[12:27] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: let me know how far you get
[12:27] <sveweck> Balachmar: try symlinking libkparts.so.4 to it
[12:27] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: stuck
[12:27] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: i enter >sudo -i and it says command not found
[12:28] <KaZeR> ++
[12:29] <Souljah> Kawika, please check your query
[12:29] <bcbooteR> is there a plugin for linux that lets me play wma ??
[12:29] <Kawika> Souljah: did you install via Synaptic?
[12:29] <Souljah> yes Kawika
[12:30] <Souljah> it says i need dependencies
[12:30] <Souljah> however
[12:30] <Souljah> i have them
[12:30] <Souljah> not the update version
[12:30] <Souljah> and synaptic
[12:30] <illissius> it flashed ominously a couple of times while starting up, but X and opengl still seem to work; now let's see if it'll crash
[12:30] <Souljah> doesn't have the update version
[12:30] <illissius> *plays mario64*
[12:30] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: enter 'which sudo'. does it say something or does the prompt come straight back?
[12:30] <Balachmar> sveweck: ok, I now get another error I will try to find that and simlink it as well
[12:31] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: now it says root@ubuntu:~# so what do i type now?
[12:31] <howlingmadhowie> carry on with the instructions :)
[12:31] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: they didnt work... i dont know what im doing wrong.... what exactly do i type after that?
[12:32] <sveweck> Balachmar: ok do it. as far as I can see, the problem is with the braindead ubuntu convention of calling the Nth unstable package of something, "something-N+1"
[12:32] <Balachmar> sveweck: I don't have libkwalletclient.so.4
[12:32] <Kawika> Souljah: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[12:32] <sveweck> Balachmar: how about .5?
[12:32] <Souljah> dapper drake
[12:32] <Souljah> 6.06
[12:32] <Balachmar> sveweck: I meant 5, else I would have simlinked it
[12:32] <Souljah> Kawika,
[12:32] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: after you have root access (which you now have), type 'cd /etc/X11'
[12:32] <Balachmar> sveweck: I do have libkwalletbackend.so.5
[12:33] <Kawika> Souljah, in Synaptic, do you have all the repositories selected ?
[12:33] <sveweck> Balachmar: maybe you also need KDE4's kdebase
[12:33] <sveweck> Balachmar: I really am at loss
[12:33] <Balachmar> sveweck: ok thanks I will try that
[12:33] <Souljah> Kawika, yes. i have all the repositories selected
[12:33] <Souljah> it wasn't at first
[12:33] <Balachmar> sveweck: although I have kdebase-bin
[12:34] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: cp /etc/X11  CP: missing destination file operand after '/etc/X11
[12:34] <Kawika> Souljah: I'm on Feisty, and did the install through Synaptic, and it seemed to install straight through.
[12:34] <sveweck> Balachmar: check also in /usr/lib directly
[12:34] <Souljah> Kawika, i did a forum search
[12:34] <Souljah> and it appears
[12:34] <Souljah> on dapper drake
[12:34] <Souljah> it doesn't work
[12:34] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: 'cd /etc/X11', not 'cp /etc/X11...' this time. i'm just moving you to the directory so the filenames are shorter
[12:35] <Balachmar> sveweck: there it is, only version 1
[12:35] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: cd = change directory, cp = copy
[12:35] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: ok now what?
[12:35] <sveweck> Balachmar: I don't think this is of use
[12:35] <Plantain> Anyone know a quality (preferably easy to use) screen recorder for Ubuntu?
[12:35] <Souljah> ok Kawika you know where i can get the older version of skype
[12:36] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: type 'ls'. do you see an xorg.conf? do you see any other files starting with xorg.conf (for example xorg.conf.backup)? if so, what are they called?
[12:36] <Balachmar> sveweck: ghe ghe
[12:36] <sveweck> Plantain: "Istanbul" iirc
[12:36] <sveweck> or Tzarigrad
[12:36] <sveweck> or something
[12:36] <Kawika> Souljah: have you seen this link: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_install_Messenger_.28Skype.29
[12:36] <moldy> which package do i need to install in order to mount ciffs shares?
[12:36] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: xorg.conf and xorg.conf.old
[12:37] <mrigns> http://www.digg.com/tech_news/Microsoft_DIGG_New_Partnership_Launches_MS_Press_Release
[12:37] <mrigns> opps
[12:37] <mrigns> wrong channel sorry
[12:37] <mrigns> >_<
[12:37] <Souljah> Kawika, yes i have seen that
[12:37] <gast_> Hello, did anyone here has  experienced CMD or TMJ Treatment ? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporomandibular_joint_disorder), ( http://www.headandneck.com/book/)), I'm looking for treatment discussions.
[12:37] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: okay. try the following: 'cat xorg.conf | grep Device'. do you see the word "nvidia", "nv", or "vesa"? if so, which one?
[12:38] <Kawika> Souljah: and those steps didn't work for you?
[12:38] <kahrytan> Plantain: Just type "screen reader" and linux into google.
[12:38] <sveweck> gast_: wrong channel, here we do user support for Ubuntu
[12:38] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: it just loaded the same roo ubuntu etc x11 thingy and shown nothing
[12:39] <Souljah> Kawika, no it didn't work Kawika
[12:39] <Souljah> do you have a link to an older verison of skype Kawika
[12:39] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: hang on. if you enter 'cat xorg.conf', do you get a lot of text whizzing by?
[12:39] <Grnsgrf> hi, i wanted to restart my /etc/init.d/hotplug in feisty, but there is no /etc/init.d/hotplug, nor a coldplug etc. am i doing something wrong? ;)
[12:39] <moldy> i don't understand the update-rc.d manpage: how do i properly disable a service?
[12:40] <moldy> disable = do not start it in any runlevels
[12:40] <LuitvD> why can't my Network Manager configure my wireless device correctly? I installed the SVN version of the rt61 driver, but I can't make Network Manager use it correctly
[12:40] <howlingmadhowie> Grnsgrf: as far as i know, it's now called 'hal'
[12:40] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: yeah....
[12:40] <sveweck> howlingmadhowie: thanks. sudo mysqld_safe gives this error: http://nopaste.com/p/acZRMQddU . Googled it, no luck :(
[12:40] <Grnsgrf> howlingmadhowie: ah, thx
[12:40] <Grnsgrf> hoarycripple: ill try
[12:40] <gast_> sveweck: Yes, but where to ask?
[12:40] <Kawika> Souljah: I'd guess you can try http://www.skype.com/download/skype/linux/ and see if the Debian Etch version worked.
[12:40] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: okay, we're going to open a text editor and edit xorg.conf. enter the following: 'nano -w xorg.conf'
[12:41] <sveweck> gast_: USENET is one option.
[12:41] <Souljah> i will try that Kawika
[12:41] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: now?
[12:41] <howlingmadhowie> sveweck: oh, now that's strange. maybe you have to explicitly start mysqld in a server mode? i dunno
[12:41] <j_antonio> .. ,,m,
[12:41] <Grnsgrf> howlingmadhowie: hm, dont have a hal, either
[12:42] <seete3> Hello. I need to backup my USB stick as an image (ISO).. so I am able to make a clone of it to copy to another. What open source programs are there that allow me to do this?..I'm using both ubuntu and windows.
[12:42] <Grnsgrf> howlingmadhowie: do you think it could be dbus or so?
[12:42] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: use the arrow keys to scroll down the text until you find the Section "Device"
[12:43] <sveweck> howlingmadhowie: I don't see any relevant options in there. well, thanks.
[12:43] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: inputdevice?
[12:43] <howlingmadhowie> Grnsgrf: i don't thnk so. to the best of my knowledge, hotplugging is manged by the hal daemon on ubuntu
[12:43] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: oh nvm... found it
[12:43] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: what's the name of the Driver?
[12:43] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: nv
[12:44] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: okay. change the driver to "vesa"
[12:44] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: just backspace and type it in?
[12:44] <c0rnd0g> is there any web browser available in ubuntu fiesty that is not based off netscape/mozilla?
[12:44] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: exactly
[12:44] <Souljah> Kawika, the etch version is also 1.4
[12:44] <sveweck> c0rnd0g: yes, Konqueror
[12:44] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: ok... now what?
[12:45] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: type Ctrl+O to save, and Ctrl+X to quit
[12:45] <sveweck> c0rnd0g: w3m too ;)
[12:45] <Kawika> Souljah: what if you try to go install the dependencies on their own.  Write down what you need and use Synaptics to update each one.
[12:45] <c0rnd0g> no opera and why?
[12:45] <sveweck> ?
[12:45] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: is that zero or a o ?
[12:45] <Souljah> Kawika, the dependencies don't show the version requireed by skype
[12:45] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: that's an 'o' like oscar :)
[12:45] <Souljah> for example
[12:45] <LiberCogito> Just switched from Ubuntu to Xubuntu... where is the xubuntu equivilent of network tools?
[12:45] <Kawika> seete3: something like this? http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-creating-cd-rom-iso-image.html
[12:46] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: ok all saved and i ctrl-x now what?
[12:46] <howlingmadhowie> sveweck: then i can't really help. i've never had a problem with a mysql server myself
[12:46] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: oh yeah it wrote 159 lines
[12:46] <Kawika> SoulJah: let me look.
[12:46] <Souljah> ok Kawika
[12:46] <Ind[y] > Update Notifier does not notify me, neither I get an automatic "apt-get update". I have to do all these things manually.
[12:46] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: type '/etc/init.d/?dm restart'
[12:46] <moldy> is there an NFSv4 howto for ubuntu?
[12:47] <sveweck> howlingmadhowie: k, thanks.
[12:47] <Souljah> Kawika,
[12:47] <moldy> damn search engine spamming... hard to google such stuff :(
[12:47] <Souljah> skype:

[12:47] <Souljah> that's what it says i need
[12:47] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: works so far
[12:47] <Souljah> and all those files are as updated
[12:47] <maz_> i need help with asterisk, i need to configure with 2 analog modem
[12:47] <Souljah> for libasound2
[12:47] <Souljah> it's 1.0.10
[12:47] <Souljah> i can't get any higher

[12:47] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: =D wow
[12:47] <Keith> Anyone able to help with UNRARing a file? I tried to install rar but I got this error: Package rar is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[12:48] <kahrytan> !spam | Souljah
[12:48] <ubotu> Souljah: Unsure how you should behave on this channel? See !AskTheBot, !CoC, !Guidelines, !Offtopic, !Language, !Attitude, !Repeat, !Enter, !Paste, !NickSpam - and most importantly, use common sense :-)
[12:48] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: you should get some sort of windowing environment. the resolution is probably awful, but it's a start. the next job is to install the correct driver (vesa is just there to help you out in an emergency)
[12:48] <Keith> !rar
[12:48] <ubotu> rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[12:48] <linuxor> Hi, I've installed Qt4, but I can not find it in the panel, so how to do ? please
[12:48] <c0rnd0g> gosh democracy-player is retarded oh well
[12:48] <maz_> keith: sudo apt-get install unrar
[12:48] <Grnsgrf> howlingmadhowie: i dont really need it, but i was just interested in this, thank you
[12:48] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: how do i turn on all the cool windows effects?
[12:48] <maz_> !asterisk
[12:48] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about asterisk - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:48] <seete3> Kawika:  looks good, but i need some more commands for dd
[12:48] <Keith> maz: Package unrar is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[12:48] <Keith> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[12:48] <Keith> is only available from another source
[12:48] <LiberCogito> just installed xubuntu, I'm used to ubuntu...where are my network tools at? >.<
[12:49] <Ind[y] > Update Notifier does not notify me, neither I get an automatic "apt-get update". I have to do all these things manually.
[12:49] <maz_> keith have you multiverse rep ?
[12:49] <kahrytan> LiberCogito: consider asking #xubuntu?
[12:50] <LiberCogito> kahrytan: Tried that. 60 dead people in it, :)
[12:50] <maz_> keith: if you have universe rep try unrar-free
[12:50] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: until you've installed the correct driver, the 3d effects won't work. as i don't have a modern nvidia card, i don't know which driver you should install now. try searching ubuntuforums.org. something else you can try is System->Administration->'management of limited drivers' (or whatever it's called in your system language (I'm using german myself, so that's just a rough translation))
[12:50] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: why is it have horrible speed issues on 2000ddr memory?
[12:50] <kahrytan> LiberCogito: now you know why I stuck to ubuntu instead of kubuntu
[12:51] <shomon> I have an old laptop with windows 95 on it. I've tried installing all kinds of things on it and it's never worked. Is there an online list of systems, especially old laptops, that I can check to see if it will work before going to the trouble of downloading?
[12:51] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: if the windowing environment is slow, it's because you're using the vesa driver. it's just there to help out in an emergency. these issues will be resolved when you instlal the correct driver
[12:51] <Kawika> Souljah: It seems a bit like your synaptics is out of date.  As I'm a bit new to ubuntu, i'm not sure when they stop posting updates for the older versions.
[12:51] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: from the nvidia website?
[12:51] <j2dope> hi all, is there any text editor for ubuntu like 'pspad' for windows?
[12:51] <Ind[y] > Update Notifier does not notify me, neither I get an automatic "apt-get update". I have to do all these things manually.
[12:51] <igglybuff> hi
[12:51] <Souljah> dapper drake 6.06
[12:51] <Souljah> is still supported
[12:51] <maz_> shomon: try http://tuxmobil.org/
[12:51] <igglybuff> where i can found vim 7.1 on deb?
[12:51] <Souljah> i don't see why they stop posting updates
[12:52] <igglybuff> anybody know?
[12:52] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: i'd be surprised if you have to go to the bother to go to the nvidia website. i'd imagine you can install them using synaptic packet manager
[12:52] <Keith> maz_:  I got the same error
[12:52] <Keith> maz_:  not sure what universes I have, how do I tell?
[12:52] <Kawika> Souljah: in Synaptic, hit the Reload button.  Make sure you have that additional repository specified also in synaptic.
[12:52] <maz_> keith: cat /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:53] <shomon> thanks maz_ ! i also have a g3 with slightly less memory than needed for OSX. Will Xubuntu work on that?
[12:53] <Souljah> yes Kawika i have that selected
[12:53] <kahrytan> Souljah: maybe there isnt any?
[12:53] <igglybuff> please, help me
[12:53] <igglybuff> <:
[12:53] <Souljah> all the reps are selected
[12:53] <Souljah> the latest version is not showing up on synaptic
[12:53] <Souljah> for some reason
[12:53] <Ind[y] > Update Notifier does not work at all. It does not update, thus, it does not notify me.
[12:53] <Keith> maz_: I installed unrar-free at the terminal
[12:53] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: i have a sony vaio vgn-ar520e model.... errr any idea what my driver is and if synaptic will have it?
[12:54] <maz_> keith : well done
[12:54] <kahrytan> Souljah: Repos only get security fixes
[12:54] <Souljah> community maintained
[12:54] <Kawika> Souljah: I'll have to get a DD system loaded up to see some of the differences.  It's pushing 1am here, so will be sometime tomorrow
[12:54] <Souljah> i have that selected
[12:54] <maz_> nobody knows asterisk ?
[12:54] <VSpike> igglybuff: its in gutsy so you could use prevu to backport it
[12:54] <Souljah> yes Kawika that's fine
[12:55] <igglybuff> ok, thankd
[12:55] <linuxor> igglybuff, http://www.vim.org/
[12:55] <VSpike> !prevu | igglybuff
[12:55] <ubotu> igglybuff: prevu is an automated, personal backporting utility. Check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Prevu for more details
[12:56] <esteem> Hello. I'm trying to backup my CF (flash USB CARD) using DD. I'm in linux right now. I unmounted the volume first, ( # unmount /media/FD) Then done ( dd if=/media/FD of=/tmp/cdimg1.iso) but it did not seem to work ( it didn't do anything, and went onto the next line awaiting another command. The data is about 400mb on the USB CF Card)
[12:56] <VSpike> igglybuff: or just compile from source of course
[12:56] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: i imagine that will be the newest nvidia driver
[12:56] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: is that driver compatible?
[12:56] <Keith> maz_:  Do I just type 'unrar-free filename.rar' to unrar a file now?
[12:56] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: im on 6.10 ghusty....
[12:56] <Kawika> esteem: I think I had sent you the prior link.  Try this one.  Seems to be more for DD: http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/DapperGuide#How_to_create_Image_.28ISO.29_files_from_folders
[12:56] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: someone told me too... ><;
[12:57] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: 6.10 edgy eft, or 7.10 gutsy gibbon?
[12:57] <maz_> keith: yes
[12:57] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: edgy thats is
[12:57] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: whats the difference in all of them?
[12:58] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: i'd try opening 'System->Administration->Synaptic package manager', search for 'nvidia' and then select 'nvidia-glx'. click on install
[12:58] <GiZiM> Howdy all - Anybody know of a program that will allow me to record me playing oh lets see World of Warcraft kinda like how FRAPS does it in Windows? Also any idea on a really good video editing program?
[12:58] <maz_> estee: i think you must use the device not the mount point
[12:58] <maz_> estee: dd if=/dev/sda1 for example
[12:58] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: well, the first two numbers tell you the date the distribution was launched (6.10 is october 2006)
[12:59] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: it asked for acd so im letting it load =] 
[01:00] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: i'd really install 7.04 in your case. there's no point using older software. if you have a fast internet connection, you can update 6.10 to 7.04 without needing to reinstall. what's acd?
[01:00] <kahrytan> GiZiM: Recordmydesktop
[01:00] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: oh, a cd :)
[01:00] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: and this will install the driver and add a better visual to the screen also make the screen resolution fit?
[01:00] <kahrytan> GiZiM: gtk-recordmydesktop for gui
[01:00] <GiZiM> Thanks
[01:00] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: if this works, this will mean you are using the official nvidia display driver
[01:00] <shomon> will xubuntu work on a g3?
[01:01] <kahrytan> GiZiM: hard part is getting the sound configured.
[01:01] <linuxor> HI, where can I find synaptic cash or temporary files ??
[01:01] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: you may have to set the resolution yourself (i'm not sure how good the driver is at guessing the right resolution to use)
[01:01] <professor> Hey guys I was wondering what is the best way to configure ubuntu, Im a noob and was wondering how do I find out if everyting is working
[01:01] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: i did the restart like it asked
[01:02] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: and did it work?
[01:02] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: i dunno its booting =p
[01:02] <Kawika> professor: one way that I have noticed is to go to System->Administration->System Log and see if errors are showing up there.
[01:02] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: yeah it shows picture still...
[01:02] <itguru> Mmmmm... ubuntu live CD - just saved my ass again!
[01:03] <itguru> well, help me to save someone elses ass
[01:03] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: that's a good sign. let's see if 3d acceleration is working. what happens if you do the following: Alt+F2: 'glxgears' <enter>
[01:03] <professor> Kawika: yea there is
[01:03] <fcojavier> ola
[01:03] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: soooo how do i go about adding them cool effects to burn the screen away when closed and make them wobble and alternate and stuff all cool?
[01:03] <fcojavier> tengo 12
[01:03] <Kawika> professor: I have an Edubuntu system that keeps trying to start some fan somewhere.  Quite annoying.
[01:04] <professor> var/run/cups/certs
[01:04] <fcojavier> afjakljla
[01:04] <esteem__> why do you need to unmount file systems when u want to back them up (e.g. flash usb stick?)
[01:04] <itguru> I do have a quick question, how do I ping computers by thier netbios name?
[01:04] <kahrytan> !effects | Quinton_
[01:04] <ubotu> Quinton_: For help or discussion on Beryl or Compiz desktop effects, please go to #ubuntu-effects
[01:04] <professor> Kawika: var/run/cups/certs
[01:04] <kahrytan> !compiz | Quinton_

[01:04] <Kawika> professor: is that related to an error you are getting?
[01:05] <Quinton_> kahrytan: im not that smart >>;
[01:05] <burnerx> hi
[01:05] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: i'd recommend updating to 7.04 before you do anything else. did you try the command i gave you?
[01:05] <itguru> itguru
[01:05] <professor> oh i was just curious how I know everything is working, cause in device manager, some stuff says the name but for capabilities it says unknown
[01:05] <esteem__> When I use "sudo dd if=/dev/sda1 | gzip --fast > hda.img.gzAnd" (without quotes).. where does the 'hda.img.gzAnd' File go ? Thanks
[01:05] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: hm? what command? im installing updates =D
[01:05] <burnerx> anyone know how to run application using wine???
[01:05] <professor> Kawika: oh i was just curious how I know everything is working, cause in device manager, some stuff says the name but for capabilities it says unknown
[01:06] <kahrytan> Quinton_: 7.04 has the effects install. just need drivers and turn them on
[01:06] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: Alt+F2: 'glxgears' <enter>
[01:06] <kacee> hi, I'm trying to stream from my webcam with VLC in Ubuntu 7.04. Unfortunatly I get the error: "main private error: cannot add this stream" , with this command : http://pastebin.com/m25e203c7. Anybody familiar with this erro?
[01:06] <kahrytan> burnerx: type wine application.exe into console. (assuming wine is installed)
[01:06] <Kawika> professor: oh ok.  cups has to do with printing from my limited knowledge.
[01:06] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: its just doing nothing?
[01:07] <professor> hmm
[01:07] <professor> not trying to print anything, but I do have a printer installed
[01:08] <Kawika> professor: is there more info in the error ?
[01:08] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: that's not a good sign. try: Alt+F2 'nvidia-settings' <enter>
[01:08] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: loaded
[01:08] <Kawika> professor: I've installed on an early P4 Intel motherboard/chip and so far everything is running pretty good.
[01:08] <professor> Kawika:  yea it says creating a missing directory, and then exactly what I told you.
[01:09] <Kawika> professor: are you running from the live cd or did you do the install ?
[01:09] <professor> Kawika: I installed
[01:10] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: i think i'd really recommend updating to 7.04. (so either installing new or using the system update option in the update manager)
[01:10] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: i am right after the updates.... whys it so important to upgrade?
[01:11] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: because 7.04 is better than 6.10 :)
[01:11] <Kawika> professor: unfortunately with my knowledge at this time, i don't know that there is a single location to tell if everything is good to go.
[01:11] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: alrighty
[01:11] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: and there's no reason not to
[01:11] <professor> hmmm ok
[01:11] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: will i have the cool screen effects?
[01:11] <Kawika> professor: I just know this computer runs fine with whatever I've thrown at it, and my Edubuntu Server has that darn fan error message in System Log. :-(
[01:12] <professor> lol
[01:12] <kahrytan> Kawika: You may want to upgrade to SATA motherboard.
[01:12] <esteem__> how do I delete via terminal?
[01:12] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: but updating will probably take about an hour. you should be able to activate the cube and wobbly-windows straight away. i've only got a really old graphics card myself, so i don't use them (i also find some software which i use doesn't like the cube effects)
[01:13] <professor> Kawika: another question do you know how to use wireshark
[01:13] <Kawika> kahrytan: these are a few of my spares.  My main board with the SATA I have for my Windows and Photoshop CS2.
[01:13] <professor> Kawika: to test your wireless
[01:13] <magnetron> esteem__: rm is the command to delete a file in a terminal
[01:13] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: i love the cube and wobbly windows.... then i want it to where when i close a windows it like glows from bottom to top... like its glowing it away and when a windows minimized or maximized it like squished up and stufff
[01:13] <Kawika> professor: I haven't used that one.  My installs are all desktop computers connected via ethernet.
[01:14] <kahrytan> Kawika: http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20070725-seagate-plans-to-stop-manufacturing-ide-drives-by-the-end-of-2007.html
[01:14] <professor> Kawika: oh ok
[01:14] <crypto> can someone help me answer a question regarding networking b/w ubuntu server and windows (using samba)?
[01:14] <professor> well thanks anyway
[01:14] <Kawika> kahrytan: I'm not surprised.  I'm a big fan of Seagate drives.
[01:14] <kahrytan> Kawika: They do make reliable drives with 5 yr warrenties. And own Maxtor now
[01:15] <Kawika> kahrytan: I know.  I own a bit over a TB of Seagate :p
[01:15] <VSpike> !ask | crypto
[01:15] <ubotu> crypto: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:15] <crypto> ok thanks .. let me type it out
[01:16] <leleobhz> someone here that have ubuntu dapper and edgy can help me to test my new repository?
[01:16] <Kawika> kahrytan: the machines I've loaded so far are just extra's that have been sitting around gathering dust.
[01:16] <LuitvD> hi
[01:16] <kahrytan> Kawika: I have 80gb hdd but I havent got a chance to use it. It's SATA and I can use IDE on this system. System build in progress
[01:16] <LuitvD> how do I tell usplash to use a different resolution?
[01:17] <LuitvD> it does 1024x768 while it's a 1280x800 screen
[01:17] <crypto> i have 2 pcs. 1st pc is ubuntu server 7.04 (its my file server). 2nd pc is running winxp. networking using samba. everything is working as expected. the problem is that when i access my fileserver from windows explorer (from network neighbourhood - i haven't mapped the shares as there are 2 many of them) i find that sometimes there is a delay before all the share drives are shown. while this is not a problem i would like to know if this de
[01:18] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: there are only 3 more problems
[01:18] <esteem__> The command '# unmount /FD/media' does not unmount the volume (flash drive). Why is this? Thanks
[01:18] <Kawika> kahrytan: my main system boots to a 80gb SATA, with a 200GB and a 320GB SATA data drive.
[01:18] <LuitvD> crypto: remember that samba is better at windows networking then windows itself
[01:18] <kahrytan> Kawika: You sure you got enough space? {-P
[01:18] <crypto> i don't know if this problem is related to winxp firewall. i have turned it off and i'm not able to conclude if firewall is the culprit.
[01:18] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: my wireless internet i havent tried yet.... photoshop.... and the upgrade wont work
[01:18] <kahrytan> :-P
[01:18] <crypto> is there a setting in samba which times out a connection?
[01:18] <Kawika> kahrytan: A Canon 20D in raw mode keeps trying to prove me wrong.
[01:19] <kahrytan> Kawika: Convert them to better format and back up to DVD
[01:19] <esperegu> Hi... I have a Dell inspiron 6400 that is going to be replaced but with another model.... Any suggestions regarding the Model? I saw that the latest models are not on the wiki yet......
[01:19] <esteem__> how can I get the list of all things mounted .?
[01:19] <Kawika> kahrytan: yup, that's part of my workflow now :p
[01:20] <JustAFreq> What is proper protocol (other than simply asking) for getting an question answered ?
[01:20] <kahrytan> Kawika: In meantime, get two 500gb drives
[01:20] <JustAFreq> esteem just type "mount"
[01:20] <Kawika> crypto: I know in networking in general, there tends to be a time before everything gets "announced"
[01:20] <kahrytan> Kawika: and dump 80gb for $30-$40 on ebay
[01:20] <Kawika> kahrytan: I was actually looking at those the other day.
[01:20] <esteem__> thanks
[01:20] <dmb062082> hello.... it seemed xsane picked up my scanner..... i tried to scan and it was busy, tried a few more times, now i cant load xsane at all as it does not find a device
[01:20] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: wireless: depends on what wireless card you have. support is a lot better in 7.04 than in 6.10. photoshop: there isn't a linux version of this. you can try to use the windows version in an emulator or install windows in a virtual machine inside linux, or use the gimp (which is about as powerful, but the GUI is very different). if the upgrade isn't working, i'd suggest downloading the 7.04 cd and installing new
[01:20] <dmb062082> anyideas
[01:21] <kahrytan> Kawika: might get lucky at costco.
[01:21] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: upgrades working now...
[01:21] <dmb062082> gimp is nice next to photoshop
[01:21] <mosno> is breezy no longer supported? i'm having trouble finding end-of-life info on the wiki
[01:21] <crypto> Kawika: that's the only conclusion i have come to aswell
[01:22] <howlingmadhowie> dmb062082: i love the gimp myself, with the result that i find photoshop difficult. i imagine it's the other way round for people coming from photoshop to the gimp
[01:22] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: theres a linux version of photoshop?
[01:22] <Kawika> crypto: you can also try mapping directly to the drives via a command prompt (\\Server\Share)
[01:22] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: not in this century there isn't.
[01:22] <dmb062082> there is a plugin i think to make gimp look an feel  a lot like photoshop as well
[01:22] <VSpike> Crypto: try typing "net view \\servername" in the command prompt on the windows box to see how quickly it responds
[01:22] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: so im guessing i would use wine.... ?
[01:22] <Kawika> kahrytan: Costco here doesn't have as many good options.  I'm a newegg.com fan.
[01:22] <dmb062082> wine will not load photoshop
[01:22] <Pici> mosno: Yes. Breezy is EOL.
[01:22] <crypto> Kawika: i know but i don't want to since there are 2 many shares :)
[01:22] <VSpike> crypto: problems with name resolution and logins could affect things too
[01:22] <dmb062082> at least it didnt when i was using it
[01:22] <crypto> VSpike: let me try that
[01:22] <dmb062082> use vmware
[01:23] <esteem> How do I unmount this volume using unmount/umount (((/dev/sdb1 on /media/FD))) ??
[01:23] <mosno> Pici: crap. do you know if i can somehow access the repo, or are they actually taken offline after EOL?
[01:23] <kahrytan> Kawika: costco.com is just as good.
[01:23] <Pici> mosno: I'm pretty sure all the Breezy repos are offline.
[01:23] <mosno> i just need to install some packages, i dont care if they're not updated. oh ok
[01:23] <mosno> damn
[01:23] <JustAFreq> Iesteem:  umount /media/FD
[01:23] <Kawika> kahrytan: except when you live in Hawaii :-(
[01:23] <VSpike> crypto: does your server run dns?
[01:23] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: you can try wine, it may work. installing it inside a windows virtual machine is the sure fire answer. that will always work. however, i'd recommend having a look at the gimp at some stage. it is extremely powerful (it is used for example to touch up the special effects for the harry potter films amongst others)
[01:23] <crypto> VSpike: there was a lag. i suspect that if i don't use the fileserver then the connection times out
[01:23] <Pici> mosno: Information link if you're interested: http://www.ubuntu.com/news/Ubuntu-5.10-end-of-life
[01:23] <mosno> Pici: thanks
[01:24] <JustAFreq> esteem: OR umount /dev/sdb1
[01:24] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: I am not very fond of the gimp and dont really like it
[01:24] <Kawika> crypto: do you notice it mostly when you first boot up ?
[01:24] <ubuntu1098765432> Question: Don't send factoid on ati, specific question: How do I get ABOVE 1024X768 on ubuntu 7.04 with ATI radeon 9600 rv350 m10?
[01:24] <crypto> VSpike: my router is acting as a dns server. the file server is however a static ip (as in the router always assigns the same ip to the fileserver)
[01:24] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: then you're going to have to jump through some hoops to get photoshop installed.
[01:24] <_imran_> does anybody know a good site to learn how to hack?
[01:24] <crypto> Kawika: no. if i don't use the fileserver for say 2-3 mins and then i try to connect then i see the lag
[01:25] <esteem> thanks man you saved me. thanks so much
[01:25] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: i see.... may i go take a quike shower? its morning here....
[01:25] <howlingmadhowie> _imran_: try installing and using gento :)
[01:25] <_imran_> howlingmadhowie, why?
[01:25] <aum> evolution's junk filter has broken down on my box, it flags 40% of legit messages as spam now
[01:26] <JustAFreq> Is there anyone here that can give me a summary on configuring, calibrating, and using a joystick in ubuntu linux?
[01:26] <kahrytan> Kawika: can you use PM?
[01:26] <LuitvD> how do I tell usplash to use a different resolution?
[01:26] <VSpike> crypto: ok so the windows box cannot resolve the server name by dns, must use netbios
[01:26] <LuitvD> it does 1024x768 while it's a 1280x800 screen
[01:26] <Kawika> crypto: I've seen that a bit on Windows servers as well.  I'm wondering if the large number of shares makes a difference.
[01:26] <ubuntu1098765432> Question: >1024X768 resolution on 1.04 w/ radeon 9600? -No factoid
[01:26] <howlingmadhowie> _imran_: once you've got that configured and running the way you want it, you'll know your way around a linux system :)
[01:26] <_imran_> howlingmadhowie, ok
[01:26] <LuitvD> ubuntu1098765432: what? it is a Radeon, but not 9600
[01:26] <VSpike> crypto: you could try "netview \\192.168.0.2" or whatever your server IP is, although now it has resolved the name it should be in the netbios name cache
[01:27] <crypto> VSpike: u got it. i'm using wins (i read tutorial and follwed that). so yeah i'm using netbios over tcp/ip
[01:27] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: i hearby confer upon Quinton the right to partake in one (1) shower without let or hindrance :)
[01:27] <djkorn_> wuzup?
[01:27] <ubuntu1098765432> luitvD: It is a radeon 9600
[01:27] <VSpike> crypto: ah ok so you enable the wins server in samba?
[01:27] <_imran_> does anyone know a good website that teaches you how to hack???
[01:27] <crypto> VSpike: not sure. can u tell me how to chk
[01:27] <Kawika> kahrytan: I replied on the PM, did you get it?
[01:27] <howlingmadhowie> _imran_: what do you want to hack? you mean do all sorts of malicious things with a computer?
[01:27] <VSpike> crypto: its not really necessary on a small network tbh
[01:27] <ome> tu
[01:28] <ubuntu1098765432> I was able to get greater screen resolution on windows but I can't get above 1024X768 on ubuntu
[01:28] <kahrytan> Kawika: No. goto #Kawika  maybe?
[01:28] <LuitvD> ubuntu1098765432: mine is an M20
[01:28] <JustAFreq> Is there anyone here that can give me a summary on configuring, calibrating, and using a joystick in ubuntu linux?
[01:28] <ome> Hey what is that command that makes it so you can copy files to protected folders momentarly?
[01:28] <LuitvD> M200
[01:28] <VSpike> crytpo: you could try adding the server name and IP to your windows hosts file and lmhosts file
[01:28] <LuitvD> err, 200M
[01:28] <ubuntu1098765432> luitcD: mine is m10.....
[01:28] <howlingmadhowie> ome: sudo
[01:28] <VSpike> ome: sudo?
[01:28] <crypto> VSpike: i think i have enabled it since i'm able to ping fileserver from windows
[01:28] <djkorn_> anyone have successfully installed their Broadcom 4311? mine sucks doesnt run at all.. i even installed ndiswrapper with it.. still nothing happens... :(
[01:28] <_imran_> howlingmadhowie, yes :)!
[01:28] <VSpike> crypto: ordinary netbios will do that
[01:28] <ubuntu1098765432> LuitvD: mine is a M10
[01:28] <crypto> VSpike: ok
[01:28] <ome> command so I can drag files to protected folders
[01:29] <howlingmadhowie> _imran_: basically, crackers tend to specialise on one area or on one software. then they wait for security advisories about this software and try to pounce on the problem as quickly as possible
[01:29] <ubuntu1098765432> LuitvD: Mine is radeon 9600 rv350 m10...  How to get above 1024x768 screen resolution?
[01:29] <VSpike> crypto: hosts is in something like %sysdir%/win32/drivers/etc
[01:29] <LuitvD> ubuntu1098765432: I don't know either
[01:29] <crypto> VSpike: do u know much abt bashrc/bash_profile.
[01:29] <esteem> Can someone help me with DD?.. here's what I got so far "owner@ubuntu:~$ sudo dd if=/media/FD of=/tmp/cdimg1.iso
[01:29] <esteem> dd: reading `/media/FD': Is a directory

[01:29] <howlingmadhowie> _imran_: i'd recommend getting to know gdb very well
[01:29] <crypto> VSpike: thanks i'll chk it out
[01:29] <VSpike> crypto: not much :)
[01:29] <LuitvD> ubuntu1098765432: but I have a similar problem
[01:30] <JustAFreq> vspike I think it is system32/drivers...etc
[01:30] <crypto> VSpike: ok thanks
[01:30] <VSpike> crypto: is your machine xp home or pro?
[01:30] <_imran_> howlingmadhowie, so what are you saying?
[01:30] <ubuntu1098765432> luitvD: so I'll just live with the 1024x768 I guess... No one knows it seems no matter how many times I ask
[01:30] <_imran_> howlingmadhowie, what's gdb?
[01:30] <crypto> VSpike: pro (x64) sp2
[01:30] <howlingmadhowie> _imran_: being a good cracker is a lot of work. you can start by googling for a tutorial on gdb.
[01:31] <VSpike> crypto: hmm it should have no problem storing user name and password
[01:31] <ubuntu1098765432> any phone support for ubuntu?
[01:31] <VSpike> crypto: it may be that you are just seeing normal behaviour
[01:31] <_imran_> howlingmadhowie, thanks...but what exactly is gdb?
[01:31] <ubuntu1098765432> any phone support directly for ubuntu 7.04?
[01:32] <hinogi> is there any chance to get DRI running in ubuntu with an ati x1950?
[01:32] <ome> whats the syntax to copy a file from desktop to usr/lib
[01:32] <crypto> VSpike: i think so aswell.. maybe i'm just being insane. ok one more question. how do u map windows password to samba. so that if i login then i can write to share folder a but if my mrs logs in then she cannot write to share folder A (but read) and write to her share folder B
[01:32] <esteem> DD is telling me " Is a directory" When I'm trying to backup my USB stick... I know it is a directory and I want to back it up to an ISO
[01:32] <ubuntu1098765432> ubu ntu support phone anyone?
[01:32] <JustAFreq> Is there anyone here that can give me a summary on configuring, calibrating, and using a joystick in ubuntu linux?
[01:32] <MajorPayne> ome: sudo ~/Desktop /usr/lib
[01:32] <howlingmadhowie> _imran_: we're getting pretty off-topic here. gdb is the gnu debugger. you can use it to analyse executable files to see what they do. some exploits take for form of unchecked scanf and similar resulting in possible buffer overflows. an experienced gdb user can find these in binaries
[01:32] <MajorPayne> err
[01:33] <ome> thanks
[01:33] <MajorPayne> ome: sudo cp ~/Desktop /usr/lib
[01:33] <MajorPayne> ome: The first one will do nothing.
[01:33] <VSpike> ubuntu1098765432: there is a big article on the topic somewhere.. let me find it

[01:51] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about truecrypt - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:51] <howlingmadhowie> feierfox: then best to put them somewhere she won't look (like in a folder whose name starts with a '.')
[01:51] <Quinton_> feierfox: thats very unhonest
[01:51] <feierfox> ok, i will see...
[01:51] <Quinton_> feierfox: Just remember god is watching you...
[01:51] <Kawika> smoenux: so if you open a browser and put in the address for the router, you get nothing ?
[01:51] <feierfox> hmm or just rar the stuff with password protection!
[01:51] <VSpike> crypto: no problem - is the usermap what you need?
[01:52] <howlingmadhowie> (was sie nicht wei,...)
[01:52] <smoenux> Kawika: thing is, it's funny, cause it starts loading, I can see some of the menu Items, and then it just stops
[01:52] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: Do you have a gf?
[01:52] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: or bf...
[01:52] <Tomcat_> Encrypting stuff is a bad way to hide... it's still visible, and people get suspicious if they need to enter a password.
[01:52] <Kawika> smoenux: what router do you have ?
[01:52] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: off-topic: i sort of have a bf
[01:53] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: sooo, so we wont be off topic have an aim?
[01:53] <smoenux> Kawika: ADSL Router Broadband, from Telkom .... It's got the Marconi Interface
[01:53] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: yes, but i'm busy.
[01:54] <mozartina> ciao
[01:54] <Kawika> smoenux: hmm, I'm not familiar with that.  Do you think that it needs java or something like that?
[01:54] <Kawika> smoenux: I've not come across a router in my experience that I couldn't get into with firefox.
[01:54] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: No offence ( I dont know your gender ) just saying that because almost all of my friends are bi-sexual... but so im not offencive. your a female or male?, also sorry for being off topic
[01:55] <Tomcat_> #ubuntu-offtopic ;)
[01:55] <smoenux> I believe it might... I'm running Java apps... and have sun java 6 installed... so I'm not sure
[01:55] <smoenux> Kawika, I've tried other browsers also....
[01:55] <smoenux> also
[01:55] <smoenux> Last week it was still working, I could get in normally without any hassles
[01:55] <smoenux> it happens on-and-off
[01:55] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: way too off-topic.
[01:56] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: =p
[01:56] <Kawika> smoenux: so last week you could get in no problem, and this week it's been more difficult?
[01:57] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: my appolagies, btw that update is almost done... I had mistaken the time.
[01:57] <smoenux> Kawika, yes - it's been doing that for the last year... I really dont know what I'm doing, to have it behave in such a way :(
[01:58] <ge2x> how to stop compizfusion and return back to the default window manager?
[01:58] <smoenux> ge2x: metacity --replace
[01:59] <ge2x> smoenux: thanx
[02:00] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: don't worry about it. just bear in mind, that #ubuntu is an international chat channel and that there are some cultures which find the word 'bisexual' offensive and some cultures which find the idea that 'god is watching you' offensive. let's just stay on-topic
[02:00] <wers> how do I set PCManFM or Dolphin as the default file browser in GNOME?
[02:01] <Kawika> smoenux: I'm looking at what that interface is exactly.  I've not had to deal with it.
[02:01] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: =]  okey
[02:01] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: i removed the obsolete packages during the upgrade is that ok?
[02:02] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: apt-get (the program which controls upgrades and manages the install packages) is pretty mature software, so i imagine it's fine
[02:02] <hinogi> http://www.ubuntuusers.de/paste/13125/
[02:03] <Eagleray> howlingmadhowie: unless you are installing one of those rare packages that conflicts with, say, xorg :-P
[02:03] <hinogi> can someone tell me how to fix the DRI for my card?
[02:03] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: alright, it still boots good! a little slower though
[02:03] <Eagleray> howlingmadhowie: not exactly apt's fault, but not fun to clean up after if you're a new user
[02:04] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: =[ it says desktop effects cannot be enabled =[
[02:04] <howlingmadhowie> Eagleray: fortunately that's never happened to me. but i can imagine swearing in all sorts of languages if it did
[02:05] <Eagleray> howlingmadhowie: it's happened to me before - a typo in someone's package meant X was in the conflicts section rather than the depends section
[02:05] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: sounds like the right nvidia driver hasn't been installed. go to 'System->Administration->Manage Restricted Drivers' (or whatever it's called in english)
[02:05] <Eagleray> howlingmadhowie: luckily I know enough to be able to fix it
[02:05] <howlingmadhowie> Eagleray: that was quite a typo. i'm surprised they didn't catch that one before releasing it
[02:06] <juana3> ola
[02:06] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: gotta install the package?
[02:06] <juana3> k tal?
[02:06] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: sounds good
[02:06] <Eagleray> howlingmadhowie: it was in the debian experimental repos, so wasn't quite up to release status yet - it hadn't even made it to the unstable repo ;-)
[02:06] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: no i mean to get into it
[02:06] <Eagleray> howlingmadhowie: (Debian has experimental, unstable, testing, stable)
[02:06] <chrisellis> which is the best agp or pci ?
[02:07] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: due to licensing restrictions, some drivers can not be installed automatically
[02:07] <Eagleray> chrisellis: for graphics?
[02:07] <chrisellis> yup
[02:07] <Eagleray> chrisellis: PCIe > AGP > PCI
[02:07] <howlingmadhowie> Eagleray: i used to have debian installed on my ultrasparc 10, so i'm familiar with it :)
[02:07] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: i see
[02:07] <Eagleray> howlingmadhowie: /me loves Debian, I usually run testing with a few bits of unstable
[02:07] <chrisellis> oh i see
[02:08] <chrisellis> and does PCIe work on all new motherboards
[02:08] <vlt> Hello. My server just stopped to respond. "[23449694.136000]  APIC error on CPU1: 00(40)". This was the last message in syslog before I only could do a warm keyboard reset. What does this mean?
[02:08] <Eagleray> chrisellis: all modern new ones, yes
[02:08] <Eagleray> chrisellis: the graphics slot should be a PCIe x16
[02:08] <chrisellis> k
[02:09] <abhibera_> hi i'm facing a strange problem with bind9. the linux users on my lan have no trouble accessing it but the windows users have to disable and enable their ethernet to be able to work with my dns.
[02:09] <abhibera_>  any clues?
[02:09] <abhibera_>  the dns is working flawlessly otherwise
[02:09] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: wireless doesnt work
[02:09] <howlingmadhowie> vlt: that sounds like a new start is necessary. possibly a bug in the microcode on the chip itself...
[02:09] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: how about the nvidia driver? did that install okay?
[02:10] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: it says my hardware doesnt need any restricted drivers
[02:10] <chrisellis> and they dont look any different than regular PCI
[02:10] <wers> how do I change gnome's default file manager?
[02:10] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: strange. the nvidia 8400 most definitely needs restricted drivers
[02:10] <Eagleray> chrisellis: yes, they look different
[02:10] <chrisellis> alright
[02:11] <agenippe> 
[02:11] <Eagleray> chrisellis: modern mobos will usually supply PCIe x16 slots (1 or 2), PCIe x1 (several) and PCI (1 or more)
[02:11] <agenippe> what's that
[02:11] <ziroday> agenippe: dui
[02:11] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: no clue here...
[02:11] <ziroday> agenippe: thats big family good
[02:12] <chrisellis> oh k so if i find out what motherboard i have i can probly figure out how many PCIe slots i have
[02:12] <agenippe> my god...

[02:12] <agenippe> 
[02:12] <Eagleray> chrisellis: the PCIe slots look different, and the x1 slots are very short
[02:12] <ziroday> user1_: ke yi ni qu #ubuntu-cn
[02:12] <Eagleray> chrisellis: PCIe slots will usually be close to the CPU than the PCI ones
[02:12] <Eagleray> chrisellis: *closer
[02:13] <chrisellis> k i think that my motherboard only has pci and agp
[02:13] <Eagleray> chrisellis: can you also direct your messages please?
[02:13] <wers> what application can I use to make survey forms?
[02:13] <agenippe> 
[02:13] <Eagleray> chrisellis: then it's not a new mobo

[02:14] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: according to http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_100.14.09.html the 8400M GT is supported in the current nvidia driver. it may well be in 'System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager'

[02:27] <magnetron> tck: to locate a file in GNU/Linux, type "locate filename"
[02:28] <SirBob1701> is there a way to view processes that execute at login.  my login to gnome is painfully slow
[02:28] <agenippe> How can I access the root administrator
[02:28] <magnetron> !root | agenippe
[02:28] <ubotu> agenippe: do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[02:28] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: then maybe you don't have the test program installed. try searching for glxgears in the Synaptic Package Manager and installing it. then repeat Alt+F2 'glxgears' <enter>
[02:28] <SirBob1701> agenippe: sudo su
[02:29] <ari_stress> agenippe: sudo -i
[02:29] <hivez[afk] > gay
[02:29] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: mesa-utils ?
[02:29] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: sounds good
[02:29] <hivez[afk] > stfu
[02:29] <magnetron> SirBob1701, agenippe: don't recommend sudo su in this channel, sudo -i is the secure alternative

[02:29] <agenippe> but when i use root administrator to the system ,i can't login to the desktop
[02:29] <magnetron> !rootsudo > agenippe
[02:30] <michaelpo> i've installed localechooserdata... where is the icon to launch?
[02:30] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: nope still doesnt do anything
[02:30] <alesan> agenippe, are you using gnome or kde?
[02:30] <howlingmadhowie> (now what does jfgi mean? let's google it...)
[02:30] <hivez[afk] > wtf is this place
[02:30] <hivez[afk] > is it l337?
[02:30] <agenippe> yes, i use gonme
[02:30] <SirBob1701> magnetron: hmm never heard that one before :S
[02:30] <Pici> !offtopic | hivez[afk] 
[02:30] <ubotu> hivez[afk] : #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[02:30] <Andy80> I've just reinstalled ubuntu on my notebook. I've installed most of the development packages but maybe I'm missing something, because when I try to execute "make" from a source directory I get these errors: http://pastebin.ca/634467 what libraries I'm missing?
[02:30] <hivez[afk] > whats Ubuntu ive never heard ofit
[02:30] <alesan> agenippe, and have you set a password for root?
[02:30] <howlingmadhowie> please ask your question or leave, hivez[afk] 
[02:31] <hivez[afk] > ok
[02:31] <Pici> Andy80: Do you have build-essential installed?
[02:31] <hivez[afk] > my question is, why are you such a fat ugly bastard?

[02:31] <rob> Pici, ?
[02:31] <howlingmadhowie> can a mod boot hivez please? (s)he's being offensive
[02:31] <rob> oh
[02:31] <Pici> rob: see above
[02:31] <Andy80> Pici: I check again, but I think yes... wait...
[02:31] <ari_stress> Pici: that's a cool command :D
[02:32] <agenippe> thank you ,though i can understand you ,but thank you all the same
[02:32] <Andy80> Pici: yes, it's installed
[02:32] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: as shown from videos on youtube compiz fusion work nice...
[02:33] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: then let's get more information. go to 'Applications->Accessories->Terminal'. wait till a terminal appears then enter 'glxgears'.
[02:33] <Pici> Andy80: It looks like on line 11 of that paste its missing a command.
[02:33] <tck> magnetron, yes tried that, i think its been replace by /etc/modprobe.d
[02:34] <Pici> Andy80: && rm -f $file && <some command should be here>  -o $file af.po
[02:34] <St3a1tH> hi guys , anyone using networkmanager-pptp ?
[02:34] <Andy80> Pici: do you think that the Makefile is wrong?
[02:34] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: it says "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Error couldnt get an RGB, double-buffered visual
[02:34] <St3a1tH> i am trying to establish a vpn connection , but network manager never call pptp binaty
[02:34] <St3a1tH> so nothing happens
[02:34] <Pici> Andy80: Thats what it looks like
[02:35] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: i have the feeling this could all go very wrong. one of your main motivations for using ubuntu seems to be the eye candy. i can understand that, but if we can't get photophop and dreamweaver installed in a windows virtual machine, then it doesn't matter how good the eye-candy is
[02:35] <abhibera_> hi i'm facing a strange problem with my bind9 on ubuntu. my windows machines are unable to locate without disabling and re-enabling the LAN but my ubuntu desktop boxes have no problem in finding it.
[02:35] <abhibera_> why?
[02:35] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: that's not a good sign. can you try rebooting the computer?
[02:35] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: of course
[02:36] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: works very quikly... and is now booting back up...
[02:36] <howlingmadhowie> do you see a big nvidia splash screen before you log in?
[02:36] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: no.. I never have... even on the preinstalled vista
[02:37] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: as far as i know, before the windowing sysem starts, a big nvidia splash screen appears if you're using the nvida driver
[02:38] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: as far as i can tell, this means that the nvidia driver still isn't being used. try running 'nvidia-settings'
[02:38] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: never has...
[02:38] <michaelpo> why is linux like this? i install one package... but can't find where it is installed to... what is the package name to launch it....
[02:38] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: works... now what ?
[02:39] <genii> michaelpo: What package did you install?
[02:39] <superjedi> michaelpo: I go into terminal and type the name
[02:39] <michaelpo> i installed localechooser-date...
[02:39] <michaelpo> tried it in terminal... nothing
[02:39] <vitou> michaelpo: you only have to open a terminal, remember the name of the package and try to auto-complete it with the tab key
[02:39] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: set the screen resolution you want (in X server display configuration) and then  'Save to X Configuation File'
[02:39] <michaelpo> then i install localeconf.... also tried that in terminal
[02:40] <michaelpo> nothing too
[02:40] <sinizzl> hi there
[02:40] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: thats not there...
[02:41] <wesolek> hello, does anybody know whether ubuntu supports the WAP protocol for wireless security?
[02:41] <antonsmari> cant seem to fix that error 21
[02:41] <howlingmadhowie> michaelpo: try 'debconf'
[02:41] <rausb0> wesolek: you mean WPA
[02:41] <michaelpo> debconf?
[02:41] <sinizzl> i am desperately trying to get name resolving working... /etc/resolv.conf is configured correctly. itried ifup eth / ifdown eth0 and ifconfig eth0 up/down about 10 times but it just doesnt do that resolvvvv
[02:41] <ari_stress> guys, what do you think of my opinion: one of the reason why ubuntu is so great is that it is derived from debian, who is well know for it's high quality packages?
[02:41] <sinizzl> wtf am i doing wrong_
[02:41] <wesolek> yeah rausb0
[02:41] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: did you manage to start the nvidia-settings program?
[02:42] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: it did
[02:42] <antonsmari> anyone can help me with error 21 in grub on first boot after a clean install
[02:42] <sipior> ari_stress: why does this matter?
[02:42] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: and you can see a nice grafical software where you can configure your graphics card?
[02:42] <sinizzl> i like ubuntu becoy it's one of teh few distros that comes with macbook specific configurations out of teh box
[02:42] <genii> I'm pretty sure localechooser-data isn't a program as such, just a list of languages the installer could use
[02:42] <kenny92> (join #ubuntu.de
[02:42] <george> george -ngum @ yahoo.co.uk
[02:42] <ari_stress> sipior: i just want to know :)
[02:43] <wesolek> rausb0 I've got other problem with it as well... it also won't work with a static IP (only on DHCP)
[02:43] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: it just says... enable tooltips.... display status bar. slider text entires. show "really quit" dialog and unchecked is include c display names in config file
[02:43] <rausb0> wesolek: is has support for WPA (using wpa_supplicant), but only for those wlan drivers which are usable by wpa_supplicant
[02:43] <esteem_> How do I CHMOD a file so that anyone can edit it?
[02:43] <wesolek> how can I check it, rausb0?
[02:43] <Terrasque> esteem_: a+w
[02:43] <michaelpo> howlingmadhowie: Usage: debconf [options]  command [args] 
[02:43] <michaelpo> ????
[02:43] <ari_stress> what is the package manager in ubuntu? aptitude or synaptic?
[02:44] <rausb0> wesolek: which wlan driver do you use?
[02:44] <michaelpo> synaptic
[02:44] <ari_stress> michaelpo: thanks
[02:44] <wesolek> I have no idea, to be honest, rausb0
[02:44] <rausb0> wesolek: then i cannot tell you
[02:44] <michaelpo> does anybody ever tried changing your locale? how?
[02:44] <wesolek> can I check it somehow? rausb0?
[02:44] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: that sounds like the last page in the software. is there a menu on the left in the window? (X server information... x server display configuration...)
[02:44] <sipior> ari_stress: well, apt, with a number of front-ends, of which aptitude and synaptic are two
[02:45] <rausb0> wesolek: the output of lsmod would be helpful. but not here, use pastebin for that.
[02:45] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: nvidia-settings configuration: and thats all it says
[02:45] <antonsmari> by the way, how do I install ubuntu on other than 2 partitions?  is it better to have a boot partition and such?
[02:45] <wesolek> ok hold on, rausb0
[02:45] <ari_stress> sipior: ok, so, it's apt
[02:45] <ari_stress> !apt
[02:45] <ubotu> APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[02:45] <ari_stress> wow cool
[02:46] <michaelpo> !locale
[02:46] <ubotu> To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf
[02:46] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: and nvidia-settings is installed?
[02:46] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: yeah and when i type a little box pops up
[02:46] <genii> michaelpo:  For setting your locale maybe look here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=234927
[02:46] <sipior> antonsmari: i find it useful to have a separate home partition at the very least, so that future installs run more smoothly...
[02:46] <genii> And the ubotu link of course :)
[02:48] <sinizzl> my network setup: laptop uses computer b as a gateway. laptop has ip adress 192.168.3.3, computer b, which is the gateway (and where im chatting currently from( does do nameresolving. i can reach any host from my laptop but it doesnt resolv any names, despite /etc/resolv.conf being edited correctly.... any ideas ??
[02:48] <ari_stress> sinizzl: maybe you are using bind's new feature: viewing
[02:48] <stefg> !ipv6 | ari_stress
[02:48] <sinizzl> ??
[02:48] <ubotu> ari_stress: To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4
[02:49] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: one second
[02:49] <stefg> opps, that was for sinizzl
[02:49] <ari_stress> stefg: :D
[02:49] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: ok
[02:49] <sipior> sinizzl: do you have inbound 53 blocked by a firewall?
[02:49] <michaelpo> i've change system/admin/language support to english uk... but when i type locale in terminal... it still show locale is LANG=en_US.UTF-8   ... why?
[02:50] <stefg> sinizzl: try disabling ipv6 fist. some routers simply don't like it
[02:50] <wesolek> http://pastebin.com/d24a3ce54
[02:50] <wesolek> rausb0
[02:50] <sinizzl> stefg: routing works
[02:50] <sinizzl> only nameresolving does not
[02:51] <antonsmari> is it preferred to have a specific boot partition}
[02:51] <sinizzl> the other two hosts that use this gateway do nameresolving.. they-re both windows machines though
[02:51] <IanTheMoxious> whoo hoo! on Ubuntu now.  Just wanted to say thanks to the guys who helped me with my partitioning problem earlier
[02:51] <stefg> sinizzl: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/92761
[02:51] <sipior> sinizzl: are you using an external name server, or your own caching nameserver on the gateway?
[02:51] <antonsmari> a) Preferred is to have a separate /boot partition.....so the menu may look like this and notice no mention of /boot in the stanzas
[02:51] <sinizzl> sipior: an external
[02:51] <antonsmari> is that true}
[02:52] <sipior> sinizzl: what does "dig" report about the name server it is trying to reach?
[02:52] <rausb0> wesolek: okay, you have two concurrent drivers loaded for your card: orinoco_cs and hostap_cs. it should be only hostap_cs. and for using wpa with those old cards, the card firmware must be update. not an easy task.
[02:53] <superjedi> is there anyway my linux computer could access my internaal cam in my imac
[02:53] <sinizzl> sipior: http://rafb.net/p/NW54KS28.html
[02:53] <wesolek> can I just unload that other driver first? that may solve some problems :), rausb0
[02:53] <gour> hi
[02:53] <DjViper> superjedi: maybe you could rig something up with vlc
[02:54] <gour> i'm migrating from gentoo to (x)ubuntu, but it looks like gparted does not recognize my evms volumes
[02:54] <rausb0> wesolek: it would be better to blacklist the orinoco_cs driver, so it doesn't get loaded in the first place
[02:54] <sinizzl> superjedi: afaik there is
[02:54] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: when i enter nvidia-settings, this program is started: http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/2949/bildschirmfotoij2.png
[02:54] <sipior> sinizzl: that's from the laptop?
[02:54] <sinizzl> sipior: yes
[02:54] <gour> do you recommend using evms/lvm or just plain partitions?
[02:55] <Bluedog> odd
[02:55] <Bluedog> xchat uninstalled itself after the last update
[02:55] <wesolek> that is fine with me, but I am not sure where to find that blacklist file
[02:55] <sipior> sinizzl: try "dig -x 87.245.64.10"
[02:55] <zeroflag> Timing buffered disk reads: 20 MB in 3.06 seconds = 6.53 MB/sec
[02:55] <zeroflag> (I hope I don't have to say anything else)
[02:55] <rausb0> wesolek: i think it is /etc/modprobe.conf  (not sure though)
[02:55] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: not me
[02:56] <sinizzl> sipior: cool it works now!!!1!
[02:56] <wesolek> what about just orinoco? should this one stay untouched? rausb0
[02:56] <sipior> sinizzl: it was always working; i think you were trying to do a forward lookup on an ip address
[02:57] <sipior> sinizzl: try resolving google.com or something
[02:57] <rausb0> orinoco is just a support module for orinoco_cs. you don't need to blacklist that one.
[02:57] <sinizzl> sipior: works now
[02:57] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: strange. okay. let's do this the direct way. open a terminal, 'sudo -i' 'cd /etc/X11' 'nano -w xorg.conf'
[02:57] <sipior> sinizzl: good, glad it's running
[02:57] <sinizzl> yeh, thenks a lot dude
[02:57] <rausb0> wesolek: sorry, gotta go
[02:57] <stefg> gour: KISS.... if you don't plan on raid or spanned partitions just use plain partitions
[02:57] <ledemente> Hey all. : )
[02:58] <ro1> I am having trouble installing ttf-opensymbol on ubuntu-studio: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31390/
[02:58] <ro1> /usr/share/fonts/X11: failed to write cache
[02:58] <ro1> I guess some font config app is missing
[02:58] <ro1> and the dirs were not created
[02:58] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: got it
[02:58] <ro1> no, the dirs are there
[02:58] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: oh, hang on. i've found something interesting. just try in a terminal: 'sudo nvidia-xconfig'
[02:59] <antonsmari> hey all, anyone familiar with error 21 in grub can help me with unreinstallable error...
[03:00] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: doesnt give any options just says 3 lines about using x configuration
[03:00] <wesolek> ok, thanks rausb0
[03:00] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: perfect. now restart the windowing system ('Ctrl+Alt+Backspace')
[03:01] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: its just.... black
[03:01] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: nothing?
[03:01] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: nope
[03:01] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: i'm starting to get annoyed with this nvidia driver
[03:01] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: sorry
[03:02] <howlingmadhowie> okay, 'Ctrl+Alt+F2' log yourself in
[03:02] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: ctrl+alt+f2 didnt do anything
[03:03] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: oh
[03:03] <genii> Use the left ALT key
[03:03] <DjViper> my wifi has been slow since I set it to 54M rate, what could be wrong?
[03:03] <howlingmadhowie> genii: :) thanks
[03:03] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: left alt doesnt work
[03:04] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: okay, restart the computer :(
[03:04] <ari_stress> Guys, is it true that there's Ubuntu's team in this channel?
[03:05] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: it will work .... i think....
[03:05] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: nope... now were back where we began...
[03:05] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: blackscreen after it boots
[03:06] <genii> Quinton_: If you have a second place to plug the monitor in maybe check to see if the video is going to the wrong plug
[03:06] <stonekeeper> hi all . I'm getting dog-slow connections to cups. Anyone have any ideas on it? Googling made me find something related to access to /dev/random being slow. Anyone setup CUPS on FEISTY and got it working at an acceptable speed? Thanks...
[03:06] <nephish> morning all
[03:06] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: and does Ctrl+Alt+F2 do anything?
[03:06] <genii> (by plugging the screen into it)
[03:06] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: no... and this is a laptop
[03:07] <genii> hmm laptop
[03:07] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: okay. things have gone pear-shaped. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace doesn't do anything either?
[03:07] <nkbreau_> I dont suppose there is an easy way to get something installed in ubuntu that will let me play a activex plugin in firefox ? just a shot in the dark...
[03:07] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: no
[03:08] <genii> nkbreau there was some FF extension/addon I think. But in windoze FF, I don't know if there is a linux FF addon like that. Also I'm not sure it could be trusted to work properly if there was
[03:09] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: what to do?
[03:09] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: oh boy. i think the easy way out is to install ubuntu again. looks like the nvidia driver has claimed another victim. if you still think my advice is any good, download the new version (7.04) and install from that disk
[03:09] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: i cant
[03:10] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: i HAVE to text base install or tty cannot be accesed and job control is turned off...
[03:10] <genii> nkbreau_: Perhaps MediaWrap extension
[03:11] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: plus it wont recognize nvidia just like this time... besides that im already on ver 7.04
[03:11] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: then the alternative install cd for 7.04?
[03:11] <pawan> hi
[03:11] <genii> howlingmadhowie: I'm suspecting some kernel option needed there
[03:12] <howlingmadhowie> genii: how do you tell the kernel to boot to a particular runlevel? do you know that off the top of your head?
[03:13] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: what do I do?
[03:13] <snow_blind> Quinton_: Out of interest what kernel are you using? e.g uname -r
[03:13] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: hang on, i think we can rescue it.
[03:13] <Quinton_> snow-blind: no clue
[03:14] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: restart, and press escape when it tells you to
[03:14] <_imran_> every time i log into ubuntu, the video player automatically launches and i dont want it to...can anyone help me
[03:14] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: recoverymode?
[03:15] <esteem> How do I edit a files' permissions so that anyone is able to access/write over it?
[03:15] <snow_blind> Quinton_: I had a problem with my driver, it wouldn't work until i updated my kernel. I'll let you finish with howlingmadhowie though
[03:15] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: nope. change the options for standard boot mode by deleting "splash" and "quiet" and adding "runlevel=3"
[03:15] <neztiti> guys i have  green screen with dxr3 with xine any help????
[03:16] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: i hit esc... so now what?
[03:16] <NanoBNC> Hello, I'm having problems connecting to a LAN printer server. It easily works from windows boxes buy I can't connect to it from Ubuntu.
[03:16] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: press e
[03:16] <chazco> Is there any suitable package for de-fragmenting a FAT32 partition from inside Ubuntu?
[03:17] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: press e again
[03:17] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: now... ?
[03:17] <mfabbri> does network-manager offer support for 802.1x wired connections?
[03:17] <rambo3> howlingmadhowie as fare a i know runlevel 3,4,5 are the same on debian distros
[03:17] <_imran_> every time i log into ubuntu, the video player automatically launches and i dont want it to...can anyone help me
[03:17] <NanoBNC> Does any of you know how to create the TCP/IP Port I had to create in windows in order to cnnnect to the printserver?
[03:17] <genii> howlingmadhowie: As far as runlevel boot options i mostly remember -s for single user mode

The LSB is based on the POSIX specification, the Single UNIX Specification, and several other open standards, but extends them in certain areas.
[03:18] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: deleted 'quiet' and 'splash' and add 'runlevel=3'
[03:18] <howlingmadhowie> genii: good idea :)
[03:18] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: i got grub edit> root (hd0,0)
[03:19] <genii> bah, work calls again. AFK
[03:19] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: oh, sorry. press escape
[03:19] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: ok now?
[03:19] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: and press escape again until you get up to the top menu
[03:19] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: let's try recovery mode :)
[03:20] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: loading it...
[03:20] <neztiti> where is the mount list in ubuntu feisty
[03:20] <howlingmadhowie> (you should see something like: Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.20-16-generic (recovery mode) )
[03:20] <_imran_> every time i log into ubuntu, the video player automatically launches and i dont want it to...can anyone help me
[03:20] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: lots of text should go flying by
[03:20] <swmiller6> _imran_: Check your start up session
[03:21] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: it stoppped and sayysss root@ubuntu:~# select () to /dev/rtc to wait for clock tick timed out
[03:21] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: good. enter 'cd /etc/X11'
[03:22] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: does it complain at all?
[03:22] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: no
[03:22] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: good. let's check to see it did that. enter 'pwd'. do you see /etc/X11 ?
[03:22] <pawan> tab names no displayed properly in xmms player
[03:23] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: yeah
[03:23] <adub> has anyone gotten monitor mode to work in feisty with atheros chipset cards
[03:23] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: good :) now enter the following 'mv xorg.conf.backup xorg.conf'
[03:23] <genii> _imran_: Examine the file found at ~/.config/autostart   and if the name of the player is there, remove it
[03:23] <_imran_> every time i log into ubuntu, the video player automatically launches and i dont want it to...can anyone help me
[03:23] <swmiller6> _imran_: Main Menu>System>Preferences>Sessions
[03:23] <bobbob1016> when I boot I'm getting an error "ata2.00:  exception Emask 0x0..." same as this post, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=505992 does anyone know what would cause this all of the sudden?  I didn't change any hardware or anything
[03:23] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: didnt do anything
[03:24] <jatt> how do I list the printing queue using the lpstat command for a network windows printer (smb)?
[03:24] <dyrne> adub: yeah but havent tried in feisty. no probs previously though
[03:24] <_imran_> swmiller6, it isnt set to launch automaticall, it just does
[03:24] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: maybe it did :) 'ls -lh' what's the date of xorg.conf?
[03:24] <bobbob1016> only when I boot in recovery mode, normal booting, it just hangs for a few minutes, I get "ata2: port is slow to respond, please be patient (Status 0x80)" as well
[03:24] <rambo3> bobbob1016, http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=265646
[03:25] <kercyr> Apparently, there was a recent problem with Adobe changing something and the installation of flash on feisty (and other releases) are broken.  Does anyone know how to circumvent the problem?
[03:25] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: 08:59
[03:25] <adub> dyrne same here no problems previously except wadda go in ubuntu 6.10 my entire card crapped out badly i use the same card on my laptop no problems at all i found a howto on the forums for feisty but good luck getting that horrible howto to work
[03:25] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: mm, hang on. when you enter "ls" what files to you see which start with "xorg.conf"?
[03:26] <esteem> A file on my desktop is protected (permissions) as root because I made the file using sudo. How can I get the file to be writeable by all users?
[03:26] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: conf and conf old
[03:26] <vnese> hi, i have burned 7.04 and run it on my PC as a live cd, then I face the error : Your session lasted less than 10s, I m sure i have plenty of disk space because this is a brand new hdd, then I checked the error message, it said a ssh .so file can not load
[03:26] <kercyr> esteem, I'm not sure if you actually want to do this, but: chmod 777 filename
[03:26] <dyrne> adub: the driver seems a little odd as it added a wlan0 or something device that needs to be up in addition to ath0 for ath0 to work.. sorry i dont have much exp other than firing up kismet and such
[03:27] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: sounds good. 'reboot'
[03:27] <kercyr> esteem, sudo chmod 777 filename
[03:27] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: how?
[03:27] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: enter the word 'reboot'
[03:27] <esteem> kercyr:  see thing is, that doesn't work for some reason. there's still a large lock on the icon and when I go into permissions it just says root
[03:28] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: if the computer doesn't boot again to where we were before we started playing around with the nvidia driver, we'll have to boot again in recovery mode and edit xorg.conf by hand using a text editor (nano)
[03:28] <visik7> is there an application that change the mouse behaviour depending on which application window has the focus ?
[03:28] <adub> ya i can get it working all day on earlier ubuntu i would uninstall feisty but im afraid ill configure everything in 6.10 and my card will just quit working i really do not need monitor mode working but it would be nice right now i have the default madwifi drivers from a fresh feisty install works out of box but monitor mode wont work right
[03:28] <genii> esteem As kercyr warns, not a good idea. If you use the chmod command given you will need to use sudo with it. another way is to just make it owned by the user where it is located. Default user is given user id 1000 and group id 1000 so you could also do:   sudo chown 1000:1000 <path to file and name>
[03:28] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: booted
[03:28] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: have you got the windowing environment running? (X server)
[03:28] <neztiti> imran: hi
[03:29] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: i guess.... ?
[03:29] <esteem> genii:  why is it not recommended??
[03:29] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: so you can log in normally ?
[03:29] <esteem> I want to be able to cut and move the file. i cannot right now ebcuase it's on stupid permissions
[03:29] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: yeah
[03:29] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: cool :)
[03:30] <genii> esteem Because then that file is world-readable/world-writeable which means anyone, not just who owns the directory it is in etc, can change or delete it
[03:30] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: now then. what do you see under "System->Administration->Restricted Drivers Manager"?
[03:30] <jussi_> where can i get the gdmsetup tool so that i can install login screens ?
[03:31] <superjedi> I downloaded a program with firefox now how do I install it do I install it so its in the accessories menu
[03:31] <steve__> steveb
[03:31] <esteem> genii:  I only want for me to be able to change it (my username is owner)
[03:31] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: the modem thing still
[03:31] <swmiller6> esteem:Change the owner of the file to you chown esteem:esteem file
[03:31] <esteem> genii:  I also take back not being able to delete it or move it.. i am able to
[03:31] <howlingmadhowie> jussi_: i think there's something called an Art Manager in Synaptic (it always used to be a horrendously buggy piece of python software, but maybe it's got better)
[03:31] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: and still no reference to a graphics card?
[03:32] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: no
[03:32] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: can you open a terminal and type the following: 'lspci | grep VGA'
[03:32] <genii> esteem: so as swmiller6 says use then:   sudo chown owner:owner <filename here>
[03:32] <esteem> swmiller6: owner@ubuntu:~/Desktop/untitled folder$  chown owner:owner xn902.img.gz  chown: changing ownership of `xn902.img.gz': Operation not permitted
[03:32] <vnese> Your session only lasted less than 10 seconds. If you have not logged out yourself, this could mean that there is some installation problem or that you may be out of diskspace. Try logging in with one of the failsafe sessions to see if you can fix this problem" in the error report appears that it wasn't possible to load the shared library /usr/lib/libgnome-2.so.0 because of a ELF header problem.
[03:32] <vnese> i have this error even in my live CD
[03:33] <genii> esteem Remember, put sudo before the command
[03:33] <bobbob1016> rambo3, thanks, that works, do you know what happened?  would my computer be slower because of this?
[03:33] <n2diy> superjedi: Sorry to answer your question, with a question, but why did you down load a program, you don't know how to install, with Fire Fox?
[03:33] <swmiller6> esteem: put a sudo in front of that
[03:33] <esteem> ok thanks thats worked

[03:34] <system79> Can someone help me?: My video card is not recognized =.=
[03:34] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: it really shouldn't be an unknown device by now. i wonder what's up with the driver. did you get the driver from the cd or from the internet?
[03:34] <swmiller6> system79: What kind of video card do you have
[03:34] <taime1> is there a way to record streams?
[03:35] <tom_> hey guys a i d/l'd a vid that is a bunch of rar files, how to i unrar them?
[03:35] <system79> Nvidia GeForce 7 series
[03:35] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: cd...
[03:35] <system79> >.>
[03:35] <swmiller6>  taime1: Streamripper
[03:35] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: a-ha! that could be what's going wrong. the version on the cd is really old.
[03:35] <Pici> !unrar | tom_
[03:35] <ubotu> tom_: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[03:35] <superjedi> n2diy: No Do I just run it
[03:35] <tom_> Pici: cheers man
[03:36] <zaggynl> hdc :  drive not ready for command
[03:36] <zaggynl> does anyone know what that crap is?
[03:36] <zaggynl> hang the entire pc
[03:36] <n2diy> superjedi: you didn't answer my question?
[03:36] <system79> zaggynl: yes, your drive is in use or not mounted properly
[03:36] <jussi_> howlingmadhowie: i got the login screen already. thanks though :)
[03:36] <slabby> Anyone got a guide for setting up wine with Feisty?
[03:36] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: start the Synaptic Package Manager and go to Settings->sources
[03:36] <slabby> !wine
[03:36] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[03:36] <superjedi> Im new at this.  I didn't install anything I just got a fle on my desktop
[03:37] <zaggynl> system79, I was burning a dvd, then went afk, when I came back, pc hardly responded (intervals) and when I opened the logs, it just spammed that all over the screen
[03:37] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: there is no sources?
[03:37] <genii> superjedi: First thing, is you would want to look and see if the program you are trying to install this way maybe already exists to install with the package manager.
[03:37] <system79> zaggynl: Well iunno :O im just telling you what causes it xD
[03:37] <superjedi> I did not there
[03:37] <zaggynl> okay
[03:38] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: whatever it's called in the language you're using. maybe it's "package sources" or something similar (under Settings in the navigation for the Synaptic Package Management window)
[03:38] <superjedi> genii: I did not there
[03:38] <system79> Can someone help me?: My video card is not recognized =.=
[03:38] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: preferences, respriotires, filters, set internal option, toolbar
[03:38] <akos> hello! does anyone know a good program for viewing pictures in a slideshow, with some funky effects?
[03:39] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: repositories :)
[03:39] <genii> superjedi: OK, assuming this is some non-destructive program and you downloaded the installer for it, you need to make the file executable then run it. From console this is done like:   chmod +x <filename>    then to run it:    ./<filename>    this when are typing in the commands into the same directory where the file is
[03:39] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: now?
[03:39] <taime1> is there a way to record streams?
[03:40] <genii> superjedi: Before those 2 commands you might want to put sudo
[03:40] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: activate 'main', 'universe', 'restricted' and 'multiverse'. on one of the tabs of that window there could be a way to switch off the cd as a software source. if you can, do this.
[03:40] <dzb_> After several days of reading howtos, docs and through forums I still cant seem to get eggy running. I now pasted the entire install output on http://djdz.de/paste.txt and hope that somebuddy can give me a little push into the right direction...
[03:40] <genii> superjedi: eg: sudo chmod +x <filename>          sudo ./<filename>
[03:40] <superjedi> ok.  It came with a make file but it doesn't seem to work
[03:40] <porszi> walaki beszel itt magyarul?
[03:40] <porszi> :)
[03:41] <genii> superjedi: So it was some source code then?
[03:41] <stefg> !hr
[03:41] <ubotu> za hrvatski dodjite na #ubuntu-hr, da ne zbunjujete engleze.
[03:41] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: how do i turn off the cd?
[03:42] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: hang on. my laptop is in english. i'll just boot it and see how to do that
[03:42] <genii> superjedi: If you are making the program from source code, first you need the package build-essential  installed from the package manager.
[03:42] <superjedi> genii: Give me a minute to try this with terminal
[03:42] <kercyr> So, anyone know what's how to install flashplugin these days?
[03:42] <bulmer> Quinton_: you # comment out the entry for the cd's
[03:42] <stefg> !flash
[03:42] <bulmer> in the source.lst files i assume
[03:42] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[03:43] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: ok i removed cd option and turned o nwhat you said now what?
[03:44] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: shut the repositories dialog screen and click 'Reload' on the main Synaptic Package Management screen
[03:44] <genii> superjedi: Then, normally, the source code needs to be uncompressed from the zip or tar file it came in. Then you go into the directory it normally makes with the name of the program where there is a file called Makefile and do:  make    or make install        sometimes sudo is needed before the make or make install but it depends
[03:45] <Quinton_> howlingmadhoie: ok... now?
[03:45] <vnese> hello, when I try install ubuntu 7.04, at the login screen, it says: your session lasted less than 10', when i check the message log, it says the library libkrb5.so has invalid ELF header
[03:45] <Tu13es> my menu.lst needs to be changed.  I booted to live CD, but I can't find the file. any ideas?
[03:45] <cec> dzb_ Can you be more specific as to what your issue is?
[03:45] <superjedi> it runs in terminal its called encrypt
[03:45] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: shut Synaptic Package Manager and start "System->Administration->Update Manager"
[03:46] <superjedi> its a command
[03:46] <n2diy> superjedi: what does it encrypt?
[03:46] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: nothing
[03:46] <superjedi> strings of text you input
[03:47] <n2diy> superjedi: yes, and commands take arguments.
[03:47] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: click "Check"
[03:47] <genii> Tu13es: You mean the menu.lst that is on your hard drive?
[03:47] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: nothing
[03:47] <kercyr> stefg, so... manuallly installing it from the tar file seems like only option currently.
[03:47] <howlingmadhowie> no updates?
[03:48] <vnese> anyone please, i know it s impolite to ask too much but i dont want to change to another distro because of this silly login thing
[03:48] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: then it must have got the new nvidia version from the net. which of course doesn't answer the question as to why it doesn't appear in the restricted drivers list
[03:48] <stefg> !info flashplugin-nonfree
[03:48] <ubotu> flashplugin-nonfree: Adobe Flash Player plugin installer. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 9.0.31.0.2ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 15 kB, installed size 108 kB (Only available for i386)
[03:48] <Tu13es> genii: yes.
[03:49] <stefg> kercyr: if you run 64bit, see the !flash64 factoid
[03:49] <genii> Tu13es: OK, do you remember previously what partition was mounted for the /    (root) filesystem?
[03:49] <Tu13es> genii: yes, I believe so
[03:49] <Pici> dzb_: This isnt really an ubuntu specific question, but I'll try to help.  Do you even have an irc server running on djdz.de ?
[03:49] <genii> Tu13es: eg: hda1 hda5 hdb3    or wherever
[03:49] <Tu13es> I believe /dev/sda4
[03:50] <Tu13es> grub> find /boot/grub/stage1 says it's hd0,3 which would mean sda4
[03:50] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: okay. the next approach would be to download the nvidia driver directly from nvidia.com and install it.
[03:51] <Pici> vnese: If this is happening on the LiveCD, have you checked the md5 of the disc?
[03:51] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: find the driver for me? =[ I think I will mess up
[03:51] <genii> Tu13es: OK, so then in a console:   mkdir /mnt/sda4      then:      mount /dev/sda4 /mntsda4            then you should be able to find your menu.lst at   /mnt/sda4/boot/grub/menu.lst
[03:51] <kercyr> stefg, I know what the bot is telling you.  but apparently, something broke recently.  Something about a md5sum mismatch.
[03:52] <Tu13es> thanks genii :)
[03:52] <dzb_> Pici, of cource, it's ngircd
[03:52] <kercyr> I just installed manually, and it works...  but there is an issue with the "usual" paths (i.e. from the repo) to installing flash right now.
[03:52] <stefg> kercyr: i see. but imho even autoinstallation from firefox works in feisty, and the package does nothing more, than d/l and install the tar.gz. o installing manually doe not hurt
[03:52] <genii> Tu13es: np. I had a typo there, missed a / in /mntsda4   should be /mnt/sda4  in the mount command
[03:53] <Tu13es> genii: yep, no worries
[03:53] <Maackey> hi
[03:53] <kercyr> stefg, yeah...  it was easier than I thought.  I had thought that the tar.gz file would have something to compile, but it only had three files.
[03:54] <Borisblue>  /join #wesnoth
[03:54] <stefg> kercyr: flash is binary only ... nonfree
[03:54] <Pici> dzb_: To specify a port with telnet, you dont use a colon (:), put a space between the host and port
[03:54] <genii> Pici Yes that colon thing is an old Windoze habit I still fall into :)
[03:55] <pawan> cant see tab names in xmms player
[03:55] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: have a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=441658&highlight=8400m and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual
[03:55] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: if you have any problems, let me know. i should really be getting to do some work now
[03:55] <dzb_> Pici, thx, it's working!
[03:55] <genii> superjedi: Did you get it figured out yet?
[03:55] <pawan> where to download new screensavers
[03:56] <Maackey> can anyone help me with flash on a 64bit system?
[03:56] <stefg> !flash64
[03:56] <ubotu> You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava

[03:56] <genii> work, AFK 2-3 mins
[03:56] <profanephobia> the flash for firefox doesnt work that well
[03:56] <pawan_> hi
[03:56] <profanephobia> maackey i recommend using the 32 bit firefox installation
[03:57] <profanephobia> then install the 32 bit flash plugin
[03:57] <pawan> hi
[03:57] <funkmaster> hi there ppl :)
[03:57] <profanephobia> whats happenin
[03:57] <pawan> where to download new screensavers
[03:57] <Tu13es> how can I bring up a terminal with the keyboard?
[03:57] <funkmaster> can someone tell me the dependencies or which repos i need for xserver-xorg-video-via?
[03:57] <Tu13es> my touchpad doesn't appear to work
[03:58] <blairellis> pawan: interfacelift
[03:58] <superjedi> Nah.  Fond another easy to install one
[03:58] <blairellis> oh wait...
[03:58] <blairellis> screensavers...
[03:58] <pawan> whats that
[03:58] <funkmaster> cuz sudo apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-video-via doesn't work for me :/

[03:58] <slabby> anyone have a guide for setting up wine for feisty?
[03:58] <moldy> trying to mount nfsv4 shares with sec=krb5, i always get "rpc.gssd appears not to be running" and then the mount fails -- but rpc.gssd IS running -- any ideas? is this a bug in ubuntu?
[03:58] <Pici> PriceChild: #ubuntu+1  :p
[03:59] <profanephobia> tul3es go to the system -> prefrences -> keyboard shortcuts to set the shortcut there
[03:59] <pawan> screensavers
[03:59] <PriceChild> Pici, argh sorry should've been there... annoying xchat taking ages to load channels :)
[03:59] <genii> moldy It looks like the init.d entry doesn't use a lockfile for the pid and it gets confused
[03:59] <Tu13es> profanephobia: i can't go anywhere, my mouse doesn't work
[03:59] <profanephobia> slabby do you have wine alredy installed and need to configure or install as well
[03:59] <moldy> genii: hmm. does this mean that this is not the actual reason for the nfs mount failing?
[04:00] <profanephobia> tul3es what laptop do you have
[04:01] <system79> Anyone knows how to make ubuntu detect my video card (Nvidia 7600 GT)?
[04:01] <slabby> profanephobia, I have installed 0.9.33, need to configure
[04:01] <Tu13es> profanephobia: MacBook
[04:01] <slabby> profanephobia, utorrent is the first app i want to run
[04:01] <genii> moldy Well, it's a bit beyond me, frankly. but i know previously I had some faulty init.d entries just doing exactly like that. It would start the daemon, not assign a pid/lockfile. then when a process needing it looks for the lockfile to see if it's running, it reports not running at all and failes
[04:01] <n2diy> How can you determine which printer port is active, lshw doesn't show it, and I can't find it listed in dmesg either?
[04:02] <kaminix> How do I tell aptitude to not upgrade a package?
[04:02] <moldy> genii: hmm ok, thx
[04:02] <system79> Anyone knows how to make ubuntu detect my video card (Nvidia 7600 GT)?

[04:05] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: where did you download the file to? can you see it on your desktop?
[04:05] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: yes
[04:06] <genii> dzb_: I don't usually use it that way, I normally have in it's conf file somewhere like /opt/eggdrop   the settings of what channels to autojoin already
[04:06] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: good. then open a terminal and enter 'cd Desktop'. you should now be able to see the driver (enter 'ls')
[04:07] <profanephobia> iso: are you using a samba server
[04:07] <okiaro> hi. I have a window called 'untitled window' that refuses to close when i right click on it and select close. How can i find which process it belongs to so that i can kill it?
[04:07] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: no such file or drectory

[04:07] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: what does 'pwd' say?
[04:08] <Jason_> how do i remove files ending in .!ut
[04:08] <dzb_> I did write something like that in the conf, but it didint auto-connect, genii

[04:08] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: 'cd Desktop'
[04:08] <esteem> How do I mount a '.IMG' ?
[04:08] <WereCatf> Hi peeps. I'm having trouble getting my laptop's LCD working correctly with the nvidia drivers..They detect the native resolution as 968x768 when in reality it's 1024x768. With nv driver it works, but then I won't get direct rendering. Any suggestions on how to force the correct resolution?
[04:09] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: no such file or drectory
[04:09] <howlingmadhowie> okiaro: alt+F2 'xkill' then click on the window you want to kill
[04:10] <markqvist> Hey there :) does anyone know how to hide mounted drives from my gnome desktop?
[04:10] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: 'ls' what do you see?
[04:10] <mikepj> I have a kernel update question.  Recently I came across a blog entry noting a data corruption problem on machines with over 4Gb of memory.  This was due to a kernel bug.  I was wondering if the patch for this has been merged into the 6.06 LTS version of Ubuntu.  The blog entry is here:  http://blogs.smugmug.com/don/2007/07/25/silent-data-corruption-on-amd-servers/
[04:10] <genii> dzb_: I think you need to run it first time with some special option when you change the conf, then it makes a new channel file with the right info. ! minute i'll look it up
[04:10] <m_> do anyone know the code to get ubuntu? not Kubuntu?
[04:10] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: desktop examples sudo
[04:10] <radioaktivstorm> m_ sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop
[04:10] <oldude67> Quinton, cd /Desktop
[04:10] <Jack_Sparrow> m_: HAve you already installed the kubuntu -desktop
[04:10] <okiaro> howlingmadhowie, that just seems to crash nautilus and the window remains
[04:10] <iso> profanephobia: not on the linux side
[04:11] <howlingmadhowie> 'cd desktop'
[04:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Quinton_: Capital D in Desktop
[04:11] <Quinton_> no such file or directory
[04:11] <profanephobia> iso: sudo mount -t cifs //netbiosname/sharename /media/sharename -o username=winusername,password=winpassword,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777

[04:12] <m_> do anyone know what the code to get ubuntu is? i'm a newbie
[04:12] <profanephobia> iso: no one sec ill post permenant mount
[04:13] <radioaktivstorm> m_ if youre trying to install ubuntu.... open a terminal and type sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop
[04:13] <profanephobia> iso: does it require a password?
[04:13] <n2diy> m_, I don't understand your question? What are you running now?
[04:13] <Jack_Sparrow> m_: Have you already installed the kubuntu -desktop and want the ubnuntu-desktop
[04:13] <m_> yes
[04:13] <iso> profanephobia: yes, i have something similar in my fstab right now
[04:14] <radioaktivstorm> m_: if youre trying to install ubuntu.... open a terminal and type sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop
[04:14] <n2diy> Jack_Sparrow: GL ;)
[04:14] <m_> thx
[04:14] <Jack_Sparrow> m_: Install the ubuntu-desktop   synaptic...
[04:14] <genii> dzb_: Run it with the option  -m   to make new files
[04:14] <profanephobia> iso: edit the /root/.smbcredentials first with username and password
[04:14] <Jack_Sparrow> n2diy: :)  gotta go soon anyhow.. Dr appt
[04:14] <dzb_> genii, thats what i did: ./eggdrop -m eggdrop.conf
[04:15] <profanephobia> username=winusername
[04:15] <profanephobia> password=winpassword
[04:15] <n2diy> Jack_Sparrow: GL with the Dr.
[04:15] <saltaren> Anyone know a nice program for temperature monitoring trough the terminal?
[04:15] <profanephobia> iso: and i was use nano or vim to edit these files
[04:15] <pop> oi td bm
[04:15] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: sorry, my boss just called :) so, where were we? 'ls' replies that there is a file called 'desktop' (which surprises me because it is usually called 'Desktop') and when you enter 'cd Desktop' it replies "no such file or directory".
[04:15] <n2diy> saltaren: search synaptic for sensors.
[04:16] <genii> dzb_: Then you logged onto the server and made a channel with the name in the conf  that you want it to join?
[04:16] <Quinton_> howlingmanhowie: yeah
[04:16] <howlingmadhowie> okiaro: that's strange. try xwininfo and then click on the window
[04:16] <savetheWorld> howlingmadhowie: case matters
[04:16] <profanephobia> iso: once you added the password and username info open your fstab file and add //netbiosname/sharename    /media/sharename        cifs    credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0
[04:16] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: i just need step by step for beryl and nvidia?
[04:17] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: i can do everything else on my own
[04:17] <genii> dzb_: I remember some chicken-egg thing like this. I think I had to open the channel first, then run the bot.
[04:17] <esteem> hi guys, how do I mount a ".img" file?
[04:17] <iso> 10:16 < profanephobia> iso: once you added the password and username info open your fstab file and add //netbiosname/sharename     /media/sharename        cifs    credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0
[04:17] <W_McL> in #ubuntu-de
[04:17] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: and you're sure you entered 'cd Desktop' and not 'cd desktop'?
[04:18] <CyberWorld> what happens to all the top and bottom panels when you switch desktops
[04:18] <okiaro> howlingmadhowie, done. can i use any info printed there to  kill it?
[04:18] <CyberWorld> how do you get back to 1
[04:18] <dzb_> genii, the channel is open, I am conencted
[04:18] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: oh... ok so whats next lol ?
[04:18] <n2diy> esteem, you don't mount files, only file systems.
[04:18] <CyberWorld> It just a screen and that's it
[04:18] <CyberWorld> just wall paper
[04:18] <iso> profanphobia: thanks! will that persist?
[04:18] <esteem> n2diy:  well, it was a DD backup of a partition
[04:18] <genii> dzb_: If it's definitely running and you are in the right channel, type in:    /msg <botname> Hello             (or whatever the botname is and the trigger word is. Usually the trigger word is hello or Hi or Hello)
[04:18] <howlingmadhowie> okiaro: i'm not sure how... just a second. what does 'ps aux | grep <name of program you want to kill>' return?
[04:19] <profanephobia> iso: it should i havent had problems with it before
[04:19] <CyberWorld> anyone?
[04:19] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: i'd move the driver to the /root directory.
[04:19] <CyberWorld> simple question I think
[04:19] <Jack_Sparrow> howlingmadhowie: Good luck this morning...
[04:19] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: wheres that?
[04:19] <profanephobia> iso: also make a backup of your fstab file
[04:19] <n2diy> esteem, and it is an .img file? I don't know then.
[04:20] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: enter 'sudo -i' and your password. then 'mv /home/quinton/Desktop/NVIDIA* $HOME'
[04:20] <okiaro> howlingmadhowie, thats the problem - i don't know the name of the program. The window seems to be from a crashed instance of VLC but killing all vlc processes hasn't helped
[04:20] <nikin> Restricted driver manager tels me that i cant install the nvidia driver until i fix broken packages... but there arent any.. i checked it with synaptic
[04:20] <dzb_> genii: doing that leads to this  I don't recognize you from that host.
[04:20] <dzb_>  Either you are using someone else's nickname or you need to type: /MSG chiller IDENT (password)
[04:20] <howlingmadhowie> okiaro: mm. i'd recommend restarting gdm
[04:20] <esteem> n2diy:  I used 'sudo dd if=/dev/sdb2 of=/home/owner/Desktop/xn902.img'
[04:20] <okiaro> howlingmadhowie, that's what i was afraid of :-/
[04:20] <Tu13es> anyone here running Ubuntu on a MacBook?
[04:21] <profanephobia> tul3es: is your macbook the duo core
[04:21] <okiaro> howlingmadhowie, ok thanks for your help
[04:21] <genii> dzb_: Ah, so you need to make conf changes then allowing your username to be able to connect from localhost/127.0.0.1 or relax the IP filtering stuff
[04:21] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: just put a >
[04:21] <Tu13es> profanephobia: it's a brand new C2D
[04:21] <howlingmadhowie> okiaro: what does 'ps axjf' tell you?
[04:21] <n2diy> esteem, Sorry, I haven't played with dd. Re-ask your question including dd, the .img seemed like a simple image/picture file question.
[04:21] <Tu13es> the touchpad was working until I compiled a custom kernel just now
[04:22] <iso> profanephobia: my fstab is set up this way, however I found the mount broken one day.  mount -a fixed it, but i'm wondering if there's a mechinism that will detect and remount?
[04:22] <okiaro> howlingmadhowie, what should i be looking for? there is a lot of stuff
[04:22] <genii> dzb_: It's been a while since i poked around with IRC, my old IRC server is taken down now
[04:22] <derenrich> Is there a save files and settings wizard under ubuntu like there is for windowS?
[04:22] <howlingmadhowie> okiaro: enter 'ps axjf', search for '/usr/sbin/gdm' and see if there are any strange child processes
[04:22] <profanephobia> tul3es: ok so the macbook you have has reported bugs with the current linux headers.. if you want try gsynaptic
[04:23] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: sounds good. enter 'cd $HOME'
[04:23] <derenrich> I want to reformat and reinstall but i don't feel like setting everything up again
[04:23] <dyrne> derenrich: we call this 'tar' :) there might be a gui backup though i guess
[04:23] <genii> dzb_: I'll see if I can find you a useful help site/tutorial
[04:23] <dzb_> genii, here's my conf file I'm looking through it at the moment http://djdz.de/eggdrop.conf
[04:23] <mzuverink> I have a My Book by Western Digital, several actually.  What command can I use to rename them to something other that :My Book"?
[04:23] <okiaro> howlingmadhowie, just xgl and xorg and their children
[04:23] <derenrich> dyrne: But I don't feel like figuring out what I need to tar and what I don't
[04:23] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: just loaded root@ubuntu again
[04:24] <profanephobia> iso: i would try auotFS
[04:24] <profanephobia> autoFS*
[04:24] <Tu13es> profanephobia: I installed that but when I run it I get "GSynaptics couldn't initialize.  You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Confir to use GSynaptics"
[04:24] <dyrne> derenrich: it is easier than windows because everything is saved in .config files and dirs in your home so if you wanted to you could just copy these to a directory called backup or whatever and if you had to restore just copy em back overwriting the bad ones
[04:24] <moldy> where is the "strings" command in ubuntu?
[04:24] <profanephobia> ok
[04:24] <iso> profanphobia: thank you. i will give that a try
[04:24] <genii> dzb_: OK I'll take a look. I do not have my old working one to compare to  but i'll do my best :)
[04:24] <profanephobia> iso np
[04:25] <derenrich> dyrne: Well, most things are, but things like apache configuration or samba configuration are not stored there
[04:25] <JodiH> whats the best mail server to use that can be configured to foreward all mail to a second internal exchange server
[04:25] <howlingmadhowie> okiaro: the program probably has the same PGID as /usr/bin/gnome-session
[04:25] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: and what do 'pwd' and 'ls' now say?
[04:25] <profanephobia> tul3es: ok open you xorg.conf file for editiing
[04:25] <Tu13es> yeah, I opened it and added "SHMConfig" "true" to no avail
[04:26] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: /root and root@ubuntu:~#
[04:26] <dzb_> genii, it now seems that I conected through hello
[04:26] <dzb_> genii, I had to identify first...
[04:26] <profanephobia> tul3es: ok well lets try this...uninstall gsynaptic and install qsynaptic see if it works
[04:26] <wxc> hello
[04:26] <dzb_> genii, i did so and now I#ve been verified, how can i now join a channel
[04:27] <checkers> hi all, what's the difference between "kubuntu-7.04-alternate-i386.iso" and "kubuntu-7.04-desktop-i386.iso"?
[04:27] <profanephobia> checkerrs: alternate is text based install
[04:27] <wxc> xchat is very good
[04:27] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: there's nothing in the directory? strange. 'ls /home/quinton/Desktop'. is the driver you downloaded from the nvidia website still there? if yes, can you write the first 5 letters?
[04:27] <checkers> profanephobia, is that the only change?
[04:27] <n2diy> checkers: alternate is a cli install, and desktop is a gui install.
[04:27] <AYapejianMI> yea, xchat is great
[04:28] <checkers> righto, thanks
[04:28] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: write the first 5 letters?
[04:28] <profanephobia> checkers: as far as i know...i usually only use alternate if graphical wont work for some reason
[04:28] <nikin> Restricted driver manager tels me that i cant install the nvidia driver until i fix broken packages... but there arent any.. i checked it with synaptic
[04:28] <nikin> any idea?
[04:28] <lmosher> Can anyone help me figure out how to disable the screensaver lock from activating on suspend/resume? I've looked in all the scripts. It only happens when I physically hit the suspend button, if i activate the scripts manually it doesn't show.
[04:29] <profanephobia> nikin do you have your restricted repos in use
[04:29] <nikin> profanephobia: il check, but i should
[04:29] <checkers> does the alternate CD need to boot into linux before you can install it?
[04:29] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: just tell me the first 5 letters
[04:29] <genii> dzb_: Actually i think the file that is pertinent here is the ircd.conf file
[04:29] <nikin> profanephobia: yes.. they are enabled
[04:29] <sn0> checkers it boots straight to the debian-installer in text mode, there is no desktop environment like with the desktop cd
[04:30] <profanephobia> checkrs: im almost posistiv ethat the alternate does not use ubuntu live
[04:30] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: NVIDI ?
[04:30] <genii> dzb_: Or hybrid-ircd.conf   I can't remember offhand
[04:30] <checkers> perfect
[04:30] <checkers> thanks you three :)
[04:30] <Falstius> I've had problems with xorg locking up while taking 100% of the processor when using the nvidia driver (it hasn't happened yet with the NV driver) and I think it only happens when running vmplayer (its been running alot).  I've used two different video cards.  Has anyone heard of any bugs that sound like this?
[04:31] <profanephobia> nikin: one sec
[04:31] <nikin> profanephobia: ok
[04:31] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: okay. now on the console (assuming you still have a root prompt) enter 'mv /home/quinton/Desktop/NVIDI* $HOME'
[04:31] <genii> dzb_: Your eggdrop.conf file looks fine to me by the way, but then as i said I do not have my old working one to compare with :(
[04:32] <n2diy> profanephobia: checkers, so how is Ubuntu installed from the cd, do you need to boot into it, or can you run it from the current OS?
[04:32] <n2diy> *alternat CD
[04:32] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie
[04:32] <n2diy> *alternate CD
[04:32] <profanephobia> n2diy: you will need to boot from the disk
[04:32] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: no destination
[04:32] <acke> how do i eject a cd in kubuntu running on a powerpc?
[04:33] <acke> rightlick eject doesnt work
[04:33] <neol> ~is their any text based irc software install by default in ubuntu 7.04 & 6.06, like irssi.... so i can connect while i'm booting from Ubuntu Live Cd... plz some one tell me ??? :(
[04:34] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: okay, you're typing something wrongly. try this 'mv /home/quinton/Desktop/NVIDI* /root'
[04:34] <checkers> n2diy, I was referring to the fact that you *dont* need to boot into a whole linux OS off the CD before you can install it
[04:34] <genii> dzb_: I think if you maybe just try to authenticate your user password it will add the new location you are logging in from to it's list of places you connect from.
[04:34] <jhaig> acke: I don't know, but is there a CD eject key on the Mac keyboard?
[04:34] <checkers> which is a large saving of time
[04:34] <n2diy> profanephobia: Bummer! I FC1 on my laptop, and I want to put Dapper on it, but I can't boot from the cdrom drive, and I only have 250megs of free disk space.
[04:34] <dzb_> genii, well I allready did and thats what happened
[04:34] <n2diy> checkers: roger that. good luck.
[04:34] <Pici> neol: I think irssi is there.
[04:34] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: says root@ubuntu etc...
[04:34] <dzb_> genii, but I still cant figure out how to get it into teh channel
[04:35] <neol> Pici: no its not their dude
[04:35] <neol> Pici: i already checked it :(
[04:35] <profanephobia> nikin: have you checked in the synaptic manager under edit -> fix broken packages
[04:35] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: now what?
[04:35] <Pici> neol: Er. Then you can install it if you have an active network connection.
[04:35] <W_McL> neol, it's at least installable, but probably not on the live cd :(
[04:35] <profanephobia> n2diy: then i would recommend maybe installing another distro like damn small linux onto a flash drive
[04:36] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: okay: 'cd' and 'ls'. you should see the NVIDIA driver
[04:36] <nikin> profanephobia: i did.. no effect
[04:36] <DK_II> how do I reconfigure ubuntu to detect my new monitor?
[04:36] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: yes
[04:36] <neol> Pici: W_McL but their should some thing like text based chatting for connecting thru irc channedl for asking help if we cannot boot in graphical mode ???
[04:37] <n2diy> profanephobia: Yep, I'm exploring that path, but how would I go from DSL to Ubuntu?
[04:37] <W_McL> neol, it would be useful
[04:37] <profanephobia> nikin: ok try running sudo aptitude purge nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel-common
[04:37] <genii> dzb_: When you do the /msg <botname> Hello     it calls it up
[04:37] <neol> W_McL: thats what i'm asking dude, is their any software installed like that by default in ubuntu ??? :(
[04:37] <dzb_> genii, yes and I allready loged in successfully
[04:38] <neol> can we use GAIM in text mode ??? :(
[04:38] <profanephobia> n2diy: you're gonna need more space for ubuntu unless you don't install a lot of packages
[04:38] <W_McL> neol, i understand your question, but i really don't know if there's aterminal based irc client on the live cd
[04:38] <MTecknology> After dealing with 3 Fedora servers and 2 Windows servers, I would like to take a moment to thank all of the developers and people that help other people in this channel for the magnificent job they've done. If I could get beryl and my stylus to work i'd be in heaven :D
[04:39] <genii> dzb_: Looking for a sample eggdrop.conf which tells it to keep trying to reconnect every so often, brb
[04:39] <checkers> beryl on a server? 0.0
[04:39] <MTecknology> also - THANKYOU for having a cli way to do upgrades!!!
[04:39] <dek> anyone know if there is a way to edit the windows registry from Ubuntu?
[04:39] <MTecknology> checkers, my own system is ubuntu
[04:39] <neol> W_McL: lets see if someone else can help me out here. Thanks for ur help... Can we use GAIM in  text mode buddy ???
[04:39] <nikin> profanephobia: should i reinstall the restricted modules?
[04:39] <CyberWorld> I get get a blank screen when every I switch desktops????
[04:39] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: now?
[04:39] <CyberWorld> how do I get to 1 again
[04:39] <profanephobia> dek: do you mean the wine version or an actual windows installation
[04:39] <CyberWorld> and get the panels showing
[04:39] <CyberWorld> I can press the calc button
[04:40] <dek> the actual windows reg
[04:40] <CyberWorld> it doesn't lock up
[04:40] <Pici> dek: You could try running regedit with wine and connecting to a network registry.  I have no idea if that will actually work.
[04:40] <profanephobia> nikin: did that run without errors
[04:40] <MTecknology> checkers, I'd love it if I could change the fedora systems to ubuntu :) - but it's not up to me :(
[04:40] <n2diy> profanephobia: Hell, if I can shoe horn FC1 onto the drive, I can do it with Dapper. But the laptop is ancient, no Nic card, no USB, so the only path is the CDROM, which isn't bootable.
[04:40] <W_McL> neol, no. gaim is a gnome program which requires X and at least some gtk libraries
[04:40] <nikin> profanephobia: no errors.. just it uninstalled the restricted kernel modules
[04:40] <checkers> :P I'm a fedora guy actually
[04:40] <CyberWorld> what do I need to do?
[04:40] <neol> W_McL: i c
[04:40] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: cool. now you can carry on with the instructions on the nvidia site ( or on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual ). just remember to "sudo -i" to get to a root window, and then "cd /root" to get to the directory with the driver in it before running "sh ./NVIDIA*" again, otherwise you won't find it
[04:40] <checkers> but too much hacking is required to make it work on my laptop, so I use ubuntu on it
[04:40] <CyberWorld> I can close X windows ctr-alt-backspace
[04:41] <profanephobia> nikin: did it show any broken package (it usually does if any are broken)
[04:41] <CyberWorld> add adjust sound and start calc with calculater button
[04:41] <molkko> anybody knows a troubleshooting guide for this particular problem: gscanbus and lsmod seems to tell me that my firewire card is OK with ubuntu but when I connect camcorder, gscanbus (firewire) does not detect the camcorder at all. google could not help with this :(
[04:41] <dek> thanks for the info.  I'll be back
[04:41] <wit> i want to instyall ubuntu on a laptop that does nopt have a working booting cd only a usb external cd and no floppy. i have xp insalled with 3 partions how can i uinstall uibuntu
[04:42] <nikin> profanephobia: yep.. mainly edgy kernel modules
[04:42] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: it say to turn off x server before install ?
[04:43] <profanephobia> nikin: ok then try to reinstall the restricted modules
[04:43] <kuitang> How do I set up dhcpd to use one specific NIC?
[04:44] <oldude67> kuitang, try dhcpcd eth0 or eth1 or what ever the number is for it
[04:44] <adrian_5452> hello
[04:44] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: to do that, enter 'Ctrl+Alt+F2'. log in. 'sudo -i', enter password. '/etc/init.d/gdm stop'
[04:44] <CyberWorld> Am I here?
[04:44] <nikin> profanephobia: reinstalled sucesfully
[04:44] <PriceChild> CyberWorld, yes
[04:44] <kuitang> oldude67: not dhcpd, dhcpd
[04:44] <nephish> kuitang_: i use firestarter
[04:45] <CyberWorld> nobody has an answer to a novel question
[04:45] <profanephobia> nikin: ok great see if it lets you use restricted
[04:45] <nephish> kuitang_: do you mean to serve dhcp or get an ip with it ?
[04:45] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: then how do i get back to the nvidia installer?
[04:45] <kuitang> serve
[04:46] <profanephobia> cyberworld: do you have a novell question
[04:46] <W_McL> neol, if that helps you, here is a howto of customizing live cds: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
[04:46] <Mishaal> is Intel (R) 82852/82855GM/GME graphic controler good ???
[04:46] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: now enter 'sh ./NVIDIA*'
[04:46] <nephish> kuitang_: using ubuntu ?
[04:46] <nephish> or kubuntu
[04:46] <nephish> >
[04:46] <kuitang> nephish: ltsp on ubuntu
[04:46] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: and follow the on screen instructions
[04:46] <nikin> profanephobia: no luck :(
[04:46] <CyberWorld> a better question would be what is the keyboard sequence to switch desktops????
[04:46] <nikin> profanephobia: the same problem
[04:47] <paotzu> cyberworld: alt-function key for some window managers, alt-hjkl for others
[04:47] <CyberWorld> this is gnome paotzu
[04:47] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: wtf... no matching precompiled kernel interface was found on NVIDIA
[04:47] <nephish> kuitang_: yeah, try firestarter. i use it to serve dhcp to home LAN. i get dhcp from ISP > serve to LAN on another nic
[04:47] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: it cant find a precompiled kernel
[04:48] <profanephobia> nikin: ok whats your card
[04:48] <nikin> its an MSI FX5200
[04:48] <whatspy> hello, how do we kill a graphical application ? Some file copy dialog box froze due to insufficient access rights but now it won't leave
[04:48] <CyberWorld> paotzu, what the function key F1 F2 I tried that and what is hjkl?
[04:48] <CyberWorld> thanks in advance
[04:48] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: ERROR: you do not appear to have libc header files installed on your system. Please install your distibution's libc development package ?
[04:48] <stuart-> is there a guitar pro for ubuntu as well?
[04:49] <profanephobia> whatspy: alt+f2 "xkill" click app window
[04:49] <nephish> whatspy_: use xkill either from Alt-F2 or from a terminal. It turns the cursor into a little skull , click that on the app
[04:49] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: okay. you'll need that. quit the installation and follow the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual
[04:49] <Mishaal> hello guys !!
[04:49] <Mishaal> is Intel (R) 82852/82855GM/GME graphic controler good ???
[04:49] <whatspy> xkill ? sounds cool, okay
[04:49] <nikin> profanephobia: FX5200
[04:49] <genii> dzb_: Bah, I'm not having much luck with it. I'm pretty sure the channel needs +cycle    but you have that already. If you have the channel open and are in it, stop the bot then restart it to see if it joins now. If the bot starts first then you open the channel it doesn't always keep looking to see if there is one it should be trying to join
[04:49] <whatspy> oh yeah that little skull ! hadn't seen it for years
[04:49] <nephish> hehe
[04:50] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: you can return to the X server by entering ctrl+alt+f7
[04:50] <Pici> Mishaal: ##hardware
[04:51] <profanephobia> nikin: open your xorg.conf and see whether or not it selects nvidia or nv in the driver section
[04:51] <jamesu> Hello, Anyway to enable username and password with my https server with Ubuntu Feisty ?

[04:54] <jamesu> thanks for trying. Anybdy else there know how to do that ?
[04:54] <profanephobia> nikin: your xorg.conf should be using "nvidia" as the driver
[04:54] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: upon installing the essentials it says it couldnt find the package
[04:54] <zefyrus> hi all
[04:54] <kahrytan> Anyone know how to use gdesklets?
[04:54] <nikin> profanephobia: ok.. i reconfigure it.. so il be back in few minutes
[04:55] <profanephobia> ok
[04:55] <zefyrus> I've just upgraded to gutsy and my Turion 64 X2 have the second core disabled !!!
[04:55] <Tomcat_> zefyrus: #ubuntu+1
[04:56] <malocite> has anyone here ever got lirc to work?  for ir remotes?
[04:56] <profanephobia> zefyrus: i would strongly recommend you downgrade to feisty
[04:56] <zefyrus> Tomcat_, tks
[04:56] <Tomcat_> malocite: Are you sure that you need it?
[04:56] <malocite> well... I wanted to use my computer as a media center
[04:56] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: i'm wondering if i can dial in from outside and do this for you. it's starting to take way to long
[04:56] <zefyrus> profanephobia, i like to test and send bugs
[04:56] <malocite> I even bought a shiny new remote and ir receiver :(
[04:56] <Tomcat_> malocite: I have a infrared remote for a hauppauge tv card... it works with a kernel driver and is recognized like a mouse/keyboard. :)
[04:57] <esteem> I have a partitioned compact flash card,  and I'm trying to get DD to realize that it is just one single CF card so that I am able to totally clone the CF card of the same size to another.
[04:57] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: please?
[04:57] <malocite> hmmmm
[04:57] <profanephobia> zefyrus: more power to ya then good luck and thanks
[04:57] <Tomcat_> malocite: I'll see if I can find you some info.
[04:57] <kahrytan> Does anyone know how to move gdesklets?
[04:57] <zefyrus> profanephobia, :)
[04:57] <Tomcat_> malocite: Because if it's just "another mouse", you can just remap the keys, or script them.
[04:58] <malocite> yeah I guess you could do that...
[04:58] <HoboBen> Hi all. How can I delete certain programs from appearing in my right click > "Open With" menu? Is there a key in the gnome config editor?
[04:58] <Cae> quick question..ubuntu machine..why on earth would one user save command history (root, basically, by a different name) and the regular user accounts not?
[04:58] <malocite> i know the ir works, cause I was able to get some response from a test signal
[04:58] <Cae> the .bashrc files are not different, and 'set' shows that HISTSIZE and whatnot are actually
[04:58] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: build-essential should be in the apt cache. did you cut and paste the line from the webpage into a terminal?
[04:58] <Cae> *actually set
[04:58] <twoleggedman> anyone else having problems Connecting to ca.archive.ubuntu.com
[04:59] <malocite> lirc is so annoying, its a shame no one has written anything a little easier yet
[04:59] <genii> dzb_: Sorry not to be more help.  I found some places you may get find what info you need: http://www.ircadmin.net/eggdrop/official/  and http://www.egghelp.org/  has very good info from the left side frame, including the command reference info and setup tips etc
[04:59] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: not cut and paste...
[04:59] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: then try it and see if it works
[04:59] <malocite> once thats done I just have to get my tv out to work properly, and I am there :)
[05:01] <axisys> I can access a remote windows folder thru Places -> Connect to Server.. how do I mount/map it to a local folder?
[05:01] <moustafa> can nobody help me?
[05:01] <Tomcat_> malocite: Sorry, can't find exactly how I found out about that stuff... you could try googling for "ir-kbd-i2c" (that's the driver I'm using) or just "i2c remote control"...
[05:01] <moustafa> I am talking with you now.
[05:01] <iNcrease> what command must i type to (clear temporary files , sort, defrag... my files on hdd)
[05:01] <malocite> what is the i2c?
[05:01] <moustafa> I have a problem M.R
[05:01] <malocite> that gets mentioned a lot in the lirc stuff
[05:02] <[HW] Anonymous> errr.....
[05:02] <Tomcat_> malocite: http://www.linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/Remote_controllers#Winfast_and_Hauppauge_remotes_supported_in_kernel <--- Here's some basic info
[05:02] <moustafa> it's about vividas soft wear
[05:02] <HoboBen> Hi all. How can I delete certain programs from appearing in my right click > "Open With" menu? Is there a key in the gnome config editor?
[05:02] <Tomcat_> malocite: No idea really... some kernel interface.
[05:02] <varka> malocite: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%C2%B2C
[05:02] <moustafa> I want to install vividas
[05:02] <Sonicadvance1> I have a network card installed that SHOULD be using the tulip module, but it isn't, any way to force it to use the Tulip module?
[05:02] <osxdude|lap> !2c | malocite
[05:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about 2c - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:02] <moustafa> into linux ubuntu 7.4
[05:02] <[HW] Anonymous> hi, can i ask something about ShipIt free CDs ?
[05:02] <osxdude|lap> !i2c
[05:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about i2c - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:02] <Borisblue> has anyone successfully installed wesnoth development version on ubuntu?
[05:02] <malocite> well, lets take a read on that
[05:02] <moustafa> Can nobody help me?
[05:02] <moustafa> vividas
[05:02] <Quinton_> howlingmadhowie: it just says to isnert the edgy cd and hit enter so i do and then it doesnt load the cd or work
[05:02] <Catoptromancy_> wesnoth was quite easy
[05:03] <Catoptromancy_> Borisblue, how does it not install?
[05:03] <osxdude|lap> [HW] Anonymous yes
[05:03] <profanephobia> borisblue: yes but it was pretty hard
[05:03] <orbin> HoboBen: rightclick  on a file in nautilus > properties i > open with tab
[05:03] <Catoptromancy_> boredand1logging, you only need a few libs
[05:03] <Catoptromancy_> Borisblue,
[05:03] <Catoptromancy_> heh
[05:03] <malocite> so that means i2c is the standard for remotes in this case
[05:04] <[HW] Anonymous> uh, I'm going to request Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Edubuntu CDs (total 3), will they ship it in the same package ?
[05:04] <HoboBen> orbin - thanks a million!
[05:04] <Borisblue> Catoptromancy_:  http://cl1p.net/error
[05:04] <Borisblue> I get this error msg
[05:04] <iNcrease> moustafa, sudo apt-get install vividas?
[05:04] <Borisblue> something to do with python
[05:04] <moustafa> Thank you
[05:04] <moustafa> yes man
[05:04] <[HW] Anonymous> or different 3 packages for each distro
[05:04] <Borisblue> profanephobia: what did you have to do to make it work?
[05:04] <ShawnRisk> sorry about that, I wondering why the CA server which is Canadian is down?
[05:05] <moustafa> not working sudo apt-get install vividas
[05:05] <osxdude|lap> [HW] Anonymous: it probably will ship in the same box if you order each one at the same time
[05:05] <profanephobia> borisblue: theres just a lot of packages you have to install but i really can t remember which ones
[05:05] <ShawnRisk> trying to do apt-get update yet the CA server fails
[05:06] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: i've really got to be getting to do some work now. the package manager is still trying to get packages from the cd, which isn't good. you can open /etc/apt/sources.list in a text editor 'sudo nano -w /etc/apt/sources.list' and comment out (add a '#' at the start of the line) any lines which look like they refer to a cd. then run 'sudo apt-get update'
[05:06] <moustafa> please , can nobody help me to know how to install sudo apt-get install vividas
[05:06] <[HW] Anonymous> osxdude|lap: a box or small package ?
[05:06] <orbin> ShawnRisk: use a mirror
[05:06] <Some_Person> Can you help me? I want Ubuntu's partition to take up the unallocated space: http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/3893/gpartednq1.png
[05:06] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: lots of luck, i gotta be going.
[05:06] <ShawnRisk> how?
[05:06] <[HW] Anonymous> i hope i won't get into tax thingy :\
[05:06] <osxdude|lap> [HW] Anonymous: small package probably
[05:06] <iNcrease> moustafa, dwnload it directly from there website?
[05:06] <[HW] Anonymous> umm...
[05:06] <AncientPC> How come I needed to install openssh-server to get ssh working on my laptop but not for any of my other PCs (all with default 7.04 install)?
[05:06] <DJ-_-> ok a new problem has started for me, when I compile something on the desktop it is hidden
[05:06] <[HW] Anonymous> osxdude|lap: thanks
[05:07] <osxdude|lap> [HW] Anonymous your welcome
[05:07] <moustafa> there is no copy there
[05:07] <BlackDesign> Hi
[05:07] <Catoptromancy_> Borisblue, doing this will make it work, not sure exactly which ones it needs, but I dont think they will hurt   http://cl1p.net/caseful/
[05:07] <paotzu> AncientPC: if you install the server, either turn it off or make sure it is locked down
[05:07] <ShawnRisk> orbin: How do I use a mirror?
[05:07] <Some_Person> Can anyone help me?
[05:07] <profanephobia> some_person: whats the prob
[05:07] <orbin> ShawnRisk: settings > repositories in synaptic.  or edit sources.list and replace with a repo from here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive
[05:08] <AncientPC> paotzu: I installed it so I could ssh into my laptop.  How would I lock it down?
[05:08] <Some_Person> profanephobia: I want Ubuntu's partition to take up the unallocated space: http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/3893/gpartednq1.png
[05:08] <DJ-_-> its like this even if i use "touch file" it is not shown on dekstop but is shown on ls -al
[05:08] <UbuntuN00B_HBG> Hi all! Since upgrading to Feisty some time ago, my movieplayers wont work when embedded in firefox... rightclicking in the player and selecting "Open in movieplayer" opens and plays it in a separate window... but I dont want that... any solution available??
[05:08] <paotzu> AncientPC: use a non-standard port for ssh and call it with -p, don'y use passwords and instead use key authentication
[05:09] <profanephobia> some_person: whats on that ntfs partition
[05:09] <Some_Person> profanephobia: Windows XP, why?
[05:09] <n2diy> DJ-_-: your files go into /home/yourname, not the desktop.
[05:09] <profanephobia> some_person: if it was vista it might have caused mor eprobs
[05:09] <paotzu> AncientPC: check out /var/log/auth.log.0 on your laptop if it is connected to the internet
[05:10] <DJ-_-> n2diy: i said touch on desktop
[05:10] <Archon> has anyone here successfully installed apache2, mono2.0 and the respective mod_mono? the documentation given doesn't seem to work for me. i get "Service Temporarily Unavailable"
[05:10] <Some_Person> profamephobia: I used to have a Vista partition but I deleted it earlier today.
[05:10] <AncientPC> What's the difference between the .log and .log.0 files?
[05:10] <paotzu> AncientPC: .0 is a backup of .log with more entries
[05:10] <DJ-_-> any ideas? as this is causing problems for me
[05:10] <gnomefreak> AncientPC: log is newer iirc
[05:10] <AncientPC> paotzu: k thx
[05:11] <pawan> hi
[05:11] <profanephobia> some_person: ok so will gparted not let you create a new partition after you highlight the unallocated space?
[05:11] <_aib> does anyone know a place to get community help with mysql problems? it's practically impossible to get a question answered in #mysql
[05:11] <pawan> new screensaver for ubuntu required
[05:11] <paotzu> AncientPC: bots will try to brute force your ssh, install an irc bot on your computer to control virused windows computers, and all sorts of other weird stuff
[05:11] <Some_Person> profanephobia: I don't want a new partition
[05:11] <n2diy> DJ-_-: are they in /home/yourname/desktop.?
[05:11] <osxdude|lap> pawan: change the screensaver prefs
[05:11] <Some_Person> profanephobia: I want to make the ext3 partition bigger by using that unalocated space
[05:12] <louish> In windows we use AD, but I would like to know how (what) Linux uses to manages workstation and users.  I would like to switch all windows servers and workstations to linux...   Could someone point me in the right direction pls?
[05:12] <DJ-_-> n2diy: no
[05:12] <profanephobia> some_person: ok one sec
[05:12] <AncientPC> paotzu: How do I go about modifying my openssh-server config?  Also, why did I need to install the server to work for my laptop but I could ssh into other Ubuntu default installs just fine?
[05:12] <DJ-_-> n2diy: but cd Desktop/ and "ls -al" shows the file up
[05:12] <paotzu> AncientPC: I'm assuming openssh-server is not default install anymore
[05:13] <ChrisF-> I installed Pidgin using a .deb package and on startup, it crashes with a segmentation fault.  I purged it from my system and installed from source but I'm getting the same issue.  Anybody know how I can get this program up and running?
[05:13] <paotzu> AncientPC: because of all the use of ubuntu machines as zombie-pilots
[05:13] <osxdude|lap> /goshaper
[05:13] <osxdude|lap> oops
[05:13] <n2diy> DJ-_-: Desktop!? Linux is case sensitive, so desktop, and Desktop, are two different files. What is the original problem?
[05:14] <AncientPC> paotzu: I used the same CD (7.04) to install Ubuntu on 3 desktops / 1 laptop.  I could ssh into all desktops but not the laptop and needed to install openssh-server to get it to work.  That's what has me confused. :(
[05:14] <DJ-_-> n2diy: the default dekstop dir is known as "Desktop" lol
[05:14] <paotzu> AncientPC: weird... well, lock your ssh down in any case
[05:14] <Casperin> #ubuntu2
[05:14] <Casperin> >_<)

[05:15] <Some_Person> profanephobia: I am currently booted to my Ubuntu install. Should I boot to the Live CD?
[05:15] <AncientPC> paotzu: will do, thanks.
[05:15] <fatdigger> sexy
[05:15] <profanephobia> some_person: yes i thought thats where you were
[05:15] <gnomefreak> fatdigger: please stop
[05:15] <ryanakca> Hmm... what's the best virtualisation server for an Ubuntu comp with only 512mb ram?
[05:15] <n2diy> DJ-_-: Ok, I don't play with Desktop, good luck.
[05:16] <fatdigger> sorry, ok
[05:16] <DJ-_-> n2diy: dude u just wasted my time
[05:16] <Some_Person> profanephobia: ok, i'll boot to the live cd, just wait a sec
[05:16] <AncientPC> paotzu: Are people exploiting ssh by brute forcing the username and passwords?  How are they getting the usernames?
[05:16] <DJ-_-> anyone know why even if i use "touch file" it is not shown on dekstop but is shown on ls -al
[05:16] <profanephobia> ryanakca: i would recommend innotek virtualbox
[05:16] <orbin_> Aquilas: pastebin the command and error output: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[05:16] <ryanakca> profanephobia: ok, thanks :)

[05:19] <adub> is there a way to repair system in ubuntu using install disk
[05:20] <Aquilas> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31416/
[05:20] <Leolimas> I tryed 6.06 Server, now I will try a 6.06 alternate
[05:20] <osxdude|lap> adub: you can overwrite your current install and save your home folder somewhere else
[05:20] <osxdude|lap> adub: you will have to reinstall your apps, though
[05:21] <adub> osxdude|lap this stinks b/c in feisty i can not get monitor mode working on my atheros card but it works in 6.10 so now i get to redo my entire system
[05:21] <kersinc> #ubuntu-es
[05:21] <Leolimas> someone have a tip, to force a boot with low memory mode ?
[05:21] <adub> but in 6.10 it worked for like 3 days and then it quit working in it as well
[05:22] <adub> my network card just quit working all together osxdude|lap] 
[05:22] <AncientPC> My laptop sometime crashes when resuming from suspend.  Sometimes I get no display.  Sometimes the keyboard doesn't work at all but I get the locked login screen.  Once I managed to get to the terminal (ctrl alt f1) and I saw a message about a hardware failure being spammed across my screen.  What can I do to troubleshoot this problem?
[05:22] <osxdude|lap> adub: reinstall nsidwrapper
[05:23] <adub> i have never used nsidwrapper
[05:23] <adub> osxdude|lap i heard ndiswrapper will not get monitor mode and packet injection working on atheros cards
[05:23] <genii> AncientPC: Remember what piece of hardware it was groaning about and replace it if possible.If it's a builtin piece of hardware you may be needing a new laptop tho
[05:23] <osxdude|lap> adub: I don't know about atheros cards so I can't help you
[05:24] <adub> i heard you had to use madwifi to get all that working well madwifi old
[05:24] <adub> k
[05:24] <sasch> hi all
[05:24] <adub> well from here i do not know what to do im afraid if i install 6.10 ubuntu then my network card will bork again
[05:24] <sasch> anyone can help me with MRTG ??
[05:24] <sasch> i have one problem
[05:24] <sasch> http://www.pastebin.ca/634611
[05:24] <AncientPC> genii: It didn't specify which hardware was failing (it's a laptop).  Do you know which log files I should be looking at?
[05:25] <n4LR> anyone know what port 23170 is for mostly?
[05:25] <umop-apisdn> does anyone have knowledge pertaining to setting up many:many NAT, using my ubuntu box as a router?
[05:26] <keito> how can I find an app that has been installed but there is no icon???
[05:26] <asisak> umop-apisdn: you need some advanced iptables tutorial, I guess.
[05:26] <asisak> keito: which app?
[05:26] <genii> AncientPC: /var/log/messages , also some others like /var/log/dmesg and /var/log/lastlog    mainly you want maybe the last 50 or so lines to look at. From command I usually do: tail <logname> it just gives the last bit not scroll the whole file or load it
[05:26] <Some_Person> profanephobia: are you there?
[05:26] <umop-apisdn> asisak: what's the difference between iptables and ipchains?
[05:26] <keito> asisak: synfig
[05:27] <Leolimas> Anyone can help me? I need install Ubuntu, in a P-MMX 233 with 48Mb Ram
[05:27] <asisak> umop-apisdn: linux kernel 2.2 / 2.4 and 2.6
[05:27] <keito> asisak: tried alt+F2 "synfig".. no luck
[05:27] <daniele_983> hello all i've a geforce+compiz-fusion and i've installed avant-window-navigator but i've a problem with launchers. When i pass on the mouse the text don't disappear. Any solution for it?
[05:27] <n2diy> umop-apisdn: no I don't, but I am very interested in your quest. Iptaples, is the replacement for ipchains.
[05:27] <Aquilas> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31416/
[05:27] <umop-apisdn> asisak: so, basically.. iptables is newer
[05:28] <Leolimas> Anyone can help me? I need install Ubuntu, in a P-MMX 233 with 48Mb Ram - It install all corret with low memory mode, but when it restart
[05:28] <Leolimas> it dont boot back
[05:28] <AncientPC> genii: Thanks, I'll make sure to do that the next time my laptop fails to resume from suspend.
[05:28] <genii> Leolimas: You need at least 64Mb usually. It can be done with 48 and a swap file setup to behave like the computer has more ram, but not recommended
[05:29] <asisak> paulm_: I guess you have a similar filesystem on the live cd as another filesystem. Network configuration happens in /etc/network/interfaces
[05:29] <Leolimas> genii I did a swap partition with 700Mb
[05:29] <Aquilas> for that small of a computer I would use Xubuntu
[05:29] <asisak> umop-apisdn: yes. I guess dapper+ has only iptables.
[05:29] <Some_Person> Can anyone help me?
[05:29] <keito> asisak: any ideas??
[05:29] <specker> Leolimas: I might try Damn Small Linux
[05:29] <asisak> keito: looking
[05:29] <specker> or Xubuntu
[05:29] <Leolimas> specker try what ?
[05:30] <genii> Leolimas: The thing is to get the computer to use the swap partition when you are running the installer so it finishes OK
[05:30] <keito> asisak: thank you
[05:30] <Some_Person> I want my ext3 (ubuntu) partition to take up the allocated space. Can anyone help me? http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/9562/gpartedhy5.png
[05:30] <asisak> keito: try /usr/bin/synfig after alt-f2
[05:30] <asisak> keito: if synfig does not work
[05:30] <paulm_> asisak: yes, it is similiar.  However the casper / initramfs overwrites my /etc/network/interfaces file at boot up.
[05:30] <genii> Leolimas: Yes, another linux distribution called Damn small Linux may be bettwr for you with that much ram
[05:30] <Leolimas> genii yes, it install all right, but dont boot to the real system
[05:30] <keito> asisak: will do
[05:30] <specker> Leolimas: www.damnsmalllinux.org/
[05:31] <Leolimas> genii its is debian based ?
[05:31] <Aquilas> does anyone know the commands to fix the apt-get in the Konsole
[05:31] <Leolimas> genii I have a project, that I need install 1 slack base, 1 fedora base, and 1 debian base ;)
[05:31] <AncientPC> Leolimas: For what it's worth, I've used both Xubuntu alternate install and Damn Small Linux on a very old laptop (200Mhz, 64MB RAM) and DSL was much batter.
[05:31] <asisak> Aquilas: sudo apt-get install -f
[05:31] <paulm_> asisak:  i believe all i need to do is pass the right boot parameters, however the syntax in 'man casper' doesn't seem to work.
[05:31] <Some_Person> Can anyone help me?
[05:32] <asisak> paulm_: okay, sorry then. I am not such a casper-expert.
[05:32] <AncientPC> Leolimas: There was a considerable amount of GUI lag even with Xubuntu.
[05:32] <daniele_983> someone know avant-window-navigator????
[05:32] <Leolimas> AncientPC I just need mode text
[05:32] <genii> Leolimas: Yes it's debian based
[05:32] <genii> work, aFK
[05:32] <keito> asisak: no luck although it is located there. i can see it
[05:32] <Some_Person> Can anyone help me?
[05:32] <asisak> Some_Person: right click on unallocated space and "new partiton"?
[05:33] <paulm_> asisak: thanks.  Perhaps the place to ask is on launchpad then?
[05:33] <Some_Person> asisak: I don't want a new partition
[05:33] <blithen> Major problems!
[05:33] <Some_Person> asisak: I want the ext3 partition to take up the unallocated space
[05:33] <paulm_> asisak: what I found on google is pretty minimal.
[05:33] <blithen> Everything is good up until it trys to create the ext3 file system in the partition it just freezes and that's it. I have to hard restart my computer. Right now I'm running of the live CD please help!! I've also checked the CD for defects twice. did the top command in the terminal and this is what came up
[05:33] <blithen> http://pastebin.com/m55ff80e3
[05:33] <asisak> Some_Person: oh, you want to resize partitons? I don't think it works.
[05:34] <sambagirl> is seveas still associated with ubuntu?
[05:34] <Some_Person> asisak: so its impossible?
[05:34] <Aquilas> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31418/    Thanks, did that and this is what I get.
[05:34] <keito> googeldesktop vs beagle.... which should i go for?
[05:34] <asisak> paulm_: you should ask for some livecd-experts then. It is also possible that it is easier to setup a DHCP server than creating a static IP livecd.
[05:34] <coolin86> SamePerson: i think you can resize
[05:34] <vandenoever> keito: strigi
[05:34] <macpo3> I just installed telnetd, which also installed openbsd-inetd. I tried "inetd restart" but can't telnet to 127.0.0.1 (connection refused) and telnet doesn't show under system / administration / services - any clues on what I still need to do?
[05:34] <dave_> hi folks
[05:34] <Some_Person> coolin86: i cant get the ext3 partition to take up the unallocated space http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/9562/gpartedhy5.png
[05:34] <Pici> Some_Person: yes. Hes just on a bit of a personal leave of absense.
[05:34] <asisak> Some_Person: I am not saying it is impossible, but I would backup everything, create new partiton layout and copy things back.
[05:35] <zerokill88> Ok, so im going to try to dual boot now after backing up my ubuntu system, and i know its easier when you partition your disk first so theres no confusion. i was wondering is there a livecd just for a partition program? i try using gparted on the livecds but i just get error of being mounted somewhere and im too lazy to figure it out if i can just boot ionto a livecd partitiong software and do it that way.
[05:35] <Pici> Some_Person: sorry, wrong name
[05:35] <Some_Person> Pici: how do i do it?
[05:35] <asisak> Some_Person: that is an easy solution.
[05:35] <keito> vandenoever: how come?
[05:35] <Pici> sambagirl: yes. Hes just on a bit of a personal leave of absense.
[05:35] <gordonjcp> macpo3: why telnet?
[05:35] <dave_> i have hosed my ubuntu - but kubuntu works fine, can someone point me to the startup configuration file that deals with metacity/compiz etc?
[05:35] <Some_Person> asisak: I am not deleting everything on my system
[05:35] <vandenoever> keito: it's fastest and smallest
[05:35] <qmf> hi there. i've mounted a share via nfs which has the rw flag on the server but it's only showing up as read only when i mount it. any ideas?
[05:35] <sambagirl> ok thank you pici
[05:35] <keito> asisak: could it be that I don't have the dependencies???
[05:35] <Aquilas> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31418/
[05:35] <macpo3> because it gives me a quick and easy way to fix file permissions problems when I'm upstairs editing php and web pages remotely
[05:36] <keito> vandenoever: better than beagle then?
[05:36] <coolin86> Same_Person: right click on the partition you want to grow and decrease the start point
[05:36] <asisak> keito: check if you have in fact installed synfig
[05:36] <coolin86> Same_Person: but make sure to back up critical stuff
[05:36] <blithen> Everything is good up until it trys to create the ext3 file system in the partition it just freezes and that's it. I have to hard restart my computer. Right now I'm running of the live CD please help!! I've also checked the CD for defects twice. did the top command in the terminal and this is what came up http://pastebin.com/m55ff80e3
[05:36] <keito> asisak: how?  it is in the /bin just looked
[05:36] <vandenoever> keito: yes, it is also part of kde4
[05:36] <asisak> coolin86: does this work for extended partitions as well?
[05:36] <macpo3> the box is behind a router that's only letting http through, so the telnet access will only be possible from the lan, so security is not a massive issue
[05:36] <Some_Person> coolin86: the extended partition won't resize, it has a lock
[05:36] <vandenoever> keito: and could be used with gnome too (no gui deps)
[05:37] <paulm_> asisak:  where does one find livecd experts?
[05:37] <asisak> keito: if it is there it should run... that is I have no idea.
[05:37] <keito> vandenoever: sweet I'm using gnome (have both but gnome suits me better for now)
[05:37] <coolin86> Same_Person: I missed the extended part.  I have never done that.  I think asisak may have the only solution. Sorry
[05:37] <keito> asisak: cheers no worries
[05:37] <asisak> paulm_: maybe on #ubuntu-devel after the developent team meeting is over
[05:37] <Aquilas> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31418/
[05:38] <Some_Person> asisak: Is there no way to reisize an extended partition?
[05:38] <vandenoever> keito: best feature of strigi is that it does streamed analysis which means it can also index e.g files in archives or emails
[05:38] <Davy_Jones> asisak: google SLAX
[05:38] <vandenoever> no matter how deeply nested
[05:38] <macpo3> so - any ideas how I get telnet running with openbsd-inetd ...... do I need to find a config file for inetd somewhere?
[05:38] <asisak> Davy_Jones: why?
[05:38] <qmf> strange, my files seems to be read write on this share, but the folders are read only. what's up with that?
[05:38] <vandenoever> asisak: google desktop is not free software
[05:38] <Davy_Jones> asisak: it's a live distribution that lets you customize what you wanna have inside
[05:38] <asisak> vandenoever: what is with google desktop?
[05:39] <AngryElf_> Does anyone know why Crtl+[1-9]  doesn't work in Ubuntu's version of Firefox?
[05:39] <vandenoever> asisak: it is closed source -> bad
[05:39] <Some_Person> asisak: nevermind, i got it, i had to do "swapoff" to the swap partition
[05:39] <asisak> Davy_Jones: oh, maybe you mean this for paulm_
[05:39] <kbrosnan> AngryElf_: i belive that it conflicts with gnome shortcuts
[05:39] <asisak> vandenoever: did I recommend it to someone?
[05:39] <Aquilas> can anyone help me with this problem? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31418/
[05:39] <asisak> vandenoever: I really don't understand :)
[05:40] <Davy_Jones> asisak: yeah.. sorry, just got out of bed.. don't know what i'm doing
[05:40] <VSpike> Anyone know if strigi can index maildir++ ?
[05:40] <VSpike> Or MS Word docs?
[05:40] <AngryElf_> kbrosnan: I just found it's Alt+# instead...nvm :)
[05:40] <kbrosnan> AngryElf_: ahh yes
[05:40] <vandenoever> VSpike: you mean a dir with 1 file per mail? it can and also indexes all attachments
[05:41] <lashmoov2> anyone using a 24" wide monitor
[05:41] <Flodo> So, how is everyone?
[05:42] <Davy_Jones> !hi|Flodo
[05:42] <ubotu> Flodo: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[05:42] <Some_Person> asisak: now i'm stuck with this: http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/9576/gp2gg6.png
[05:42] <zerokill88> im going to partition my disk, to put windows on.once i do i know my MBR will be overwritin. how do i save ubuntu and get it to dual boot?
[05:42] <VSpike> vandenoever: yep, and nested folders.  Which usually start with a "."
[05:42] <Flodo> Hi and thanks =)
[05:42] <vandenoever> VSpike: check
[05:42] <michaelfavia> anyoen know how to delete an entire folder element in gconf? id liek to reset compiz app folder settings as they are corrupted.
[05:43] <n2diy> mbr | zerokill88
[05:43] <ari_stress> hello guys, i wrote an howto about howto setup lcd projector on notebook with feisty. it's at http://linux2.arinet.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=155&Itemid=35 hopefully it helps :)
[05:43] <michaelfavia> thinking about just switching to a flat file because gconf-edit wont let me...
[05:43] <VSpike> vandenoever: most of them seem to be able to do maildir but not maildir++.  Beagle ignores anything starting with a "."
[05:43] <asisak> Some_Person: you should 1. backup, 2. resize extended partition, 3. pray, 4. resize ext3 partition, 5. pray
[05:43] <VSpike> vandenoever: maybe i should try it.  What about msword ... any idea?
[05:43] <n2diy> grub | zerokill88
[05:43] <vandenoever> VSpike: ah, i see, strigi does that by default too, but you can configure it
[05:43] <AngryElf_> Which download do I want for my dual-Xeon PC?...standard?
[05:43] <vandenoever> msword is also supported natively
[05:43] <Some_Person> asisak: steps 1 and 2 are done, but it wont let me resize the ext3, and i dont believe in god btw
[05:44] <Aquilas> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31418/
[05:44] <VSpike> VSpike: currently got gdl installed but never ever use it because its so lame.  just haven't had the energy to remove it
[05:44] <VSpike> vandenoever: ^
[05:44] <asisak> Some_Person: sorry, no more idea
[05:44] <zerokill88> n2diy do i want to perserve or overwrite windows bootloader?
[05:44] <VSpike> vandenoever: how can you configure it?  Can you use wildcards?
[05:44] <vandenoever> VSpike: you mean gds?
[05:44] <vandenoever> VSpike: yes wildcards like rsync
[05:44] <VSpike> vandenoever: yeah google desktop linux
[05:44] <n2diy> windows | zerokill88
[05:45] <vandenoever> VSpike: they have a distro?
[05:45] <Some_Person> Can anyone help me? I want the ext3 partition to take up the unallocated space: http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/9576/gp2gg6.png
[05:45] <n2diy> :/
[05:45] <VSpike> vandenoever: because I have a lot of mail folders :) And adding them to an include list one at a time is not an option :)
[05:45] <lostMyMarbles> Is there any program on linux that will open and allow me to edit my old Adobe .ai files?
[05:45] <VSpike> vandenoever: sorry .. probably bad terminology on my part. i just mean the desktop search tool for linux
[05:46] <n2diy> zerokill88, windows will overwrite linux, but i can't find the command to help you.
[05:46] <vandenoever> VSpike: ok
[05:46] <VSpike> vandenoever: I noticed they refer to it internally as gdl
[05:46] <anzan> lostMyMarbles, try Xara Xtreme for .ai files.
[05:46] <vandenoever> VSpike: lets hope they dont make a distro
[05:46] <Casperin> newbie q: how do I make certain files (say .mp3) open with a specific program by default?
[05:46] <Some_Person> Can anyone help me? I want the ext3 partition to take up the unallocated space: http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/9576/gp2gg6.png
[05:46] <lostMyMarbles> Thanks
[05:46] <lostMyMarbles> I will
[05:46] <umop-apisdn> Some_Person: is there an issue with using gparted?
[05:46] <lostMyMarbles> I was hoping that there was a GNU way to do it though
[05:47] <Some_Person> umop-apisdn: it wont let me resize the ext3 partition to use the unallocated space
[05:47] <Aquilas> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31418/
[05:47] <VSpike> vandenoever: it installs some god-awful update script in your cron.hourly - totally unnecessary on an apt based system - which then dumps script output to your root email every tyime it runs
[05:47] <umop-apisdn> Some_Person: which unallocated space?
[05:47] <vandenoever> VSpike: and it's closed source stuff from the internet search monopoly
[05:48] <Some_Person> umop-apisdn: the only one i have: http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/9576/gp2gg6.png
[05:48] <umop-apisdn> ah, i see... your ext3 partition is after the unallocated space
[05:48] <Some_Person> umop-apisdn: correct
[05:48] <VSpike> vandenoever: true.  If it worked well, I could live with that until an open source alternative that worked for me was available
[05:48] <umop-apisdn> if it were before, you could probably make it work
[05:48] <VSpike> vandenoever: will try strigi anyways
[05:49] <Some_Person> umop-apisdn: what can i do about it?
[05:49] <umop-apisdn> well, right offhand, i would be inclined to say "nothing"
[05:49] <VSpike> Still got a lot of docs in msword format so really need to index those too, although new ones are ooxml
[05:49] <Aquilas> someone please help me... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31418/
[05:50] <umop-apisdn> Some_Person: if you don't want to buy another drive, and you don't want to lose the install you have, then i would suggest purchasing a commercial drive partitioning software, like partition magic... except i don't know if partition magic is still around
[05:50] <Some_Person> umop-apisdn: so i'm stuck with less than half a gig of free space on my ext3 partition?
[05:50] <Some_Person> umop-apisdn: I am not buying another drive
[05:50] <Some_Person> umop-apisdn: i have partition magic on windows
[05:51] <umop-apisdn> Some_Person: then the only thing i can suggest is blowing away your install, and being more careful when you reinstall next time :)
[05:51] <Some_Person> umop-apisdn: should i try that?
[05:51] <umop-apisdn> Some_Person: aha! yes, that may do the trick
[05:51] <Some_Person> umop-apisdn: ok, i'll try partition magic
[05:51] <Some_Person> bye
[05:51] <umop-apisdn> i hope he doesn't fsck his partitions up too badly
[05:53] <corpulunt> why apt-get install samba did not install the /etc/init.d scripts for samba?

[05:54] <albreche> hi is there a deb for  wmd driver ?
[05:55] <lostMyMarbles> I just tried the Xaralx and it does not support .ai files. I know that GIMP will open them but will convert them to raster. Any other suggestions? I also know that Inkscape (my prog of choice) won't open an .ai file either.
[05:55] <ShawnRisk> You should add the contents of `/usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4 to 'aclocal.m4'. Which aclocal.m4 file do I add it to or make a new file?
[05:55] <keito> asisak: I'm a dumb@$$. it was console only. just installed the gui frontend and all is gravy.  thanks anyway
[05:56] <mabus> I installed ubuntu server, then installed fluxbox from source but I'm having troubles. when I start gdm and login using fluxbox session, it tells me that it could not find an exec line in the fluxbox file. However, in several different places I have a config file with the line exec startfluxbox, and have also tried exchanging it with exec fluxbox in each file. which file am I missing do you think? any ideas?
[05:56] <bwisdom> ok, Ill throw this one out there. When I try and use the ./configure command to install something it gives me this about the compiler: "checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables"
[05:56] <malocite> yaaay got my remote working through lirc :)
[05:56] <anzan> lostMyMarbles, sorry re Xara. Worked for me. Though I've only opened a few files with it that I needed to get to.

[05:57] <konam> someone can tell me what happens if i disable the filesystem check in the boot?
[05:57] <mabus> konam: it will cease to check the filesystem upon booting? :P
[05:57] <dyrne> konam: it wont check the other non / file systems i think. which isnt really a big deal
[05:57] <mabus> Meaning if there's any errors on it, you won't know when you restart the computer.
[05:57] <sexcopte1> i have a slightly strange problem, but not a serious one. Just installed Feisty and when it boots up, it goes from grub menu to a blank screen for a while, then to the login... any ideas why the splash screen thing isn't showing?
[05:58] <corpulunt> why apt-get install samba did not install the /etc/init.d scripts for samba?
[05:58] <mabus> sexcopte1: is "quiet" one of the boot options?
[05:58] <sexcopte1> mabus: where would i find that?

When I have tried this in the past I have messed up X and I cant get it back, so I have to reinstall linux, and I don't want to do that again.

[06:00] <corpulunt> Hello
[06:00] <corpulunt> clear
[06:00] <corpulunt> why apt-get install samba did not install the /etc/init.d scripts for samba?
[06:00] <Some_Person> Partition Magic cant do it either
[06:00] <lashmoov2> malocite: learn how to use nano
[06:01] <malocite> the text editor?
[06:01] <lashmoov2> malocite: that will allow you to edit your xorg.conf from prompt
[06:01] <malocite> right
[06:01] <mabus> malocite: as far as X goes, you really just need to back up /etc/X11/xorg.con
[06:01] <genii> corpulent They should be named smdb and possibly also nmbd not sambad
[06:01] <genii> smbd and nmbd rather
[06:01] <DjViper> malocite: did you backup your xorg conf ?
[06:01] <sexcopte1> mabus: there's no grub.conf file, but in the menu.lst file, the relevant entry does have a line with quiet. is it safe to just delete it?
[06:01] <konam> dyrne so i can disable it and nothing bad would happen with time?
[06:02] <malocite> im just doing that now
[06:02] <mabus> sexcopte1: delete the line in menu.lst? no, but you can delete that option
[06:02] <malocite> just did it
[06:02] <sexcopte1> mabus: well, it is its own line, the line just says quiet, i'll pastebin it to make it clear
[06:03] <malocite> well thats done, now to figure out the ati drivers :)
[06:03] <B-rabbit> hi everyone,has anyone herd of the OS called BackTrack...it's a linux distro...which i am downloading right now. i was just wondering if you run a linux distrobution(in this case "backtrack") on top of ubuntu using vmware?
[06:03] <dyrne> konam: not any more bad than would happen normally. the only diff is that you might have to run fsck yourself if something became corrupt and you started having problems. its a diff between ubuntu doing it for you or you doing it

[06:10] <Pici> Davy_Jones: I have no idea what that means.
[06:10] <bee2643> erestar, i am running several PHP servers in ubuntu
[06:10] <liquiddoom> erestar: I guess it would be able to, but I'm not sure
[06:11] <erestar> I have everything enabled in php.ini that I should need, and I can fopen("http://somethinglocal") but anytime I try to use http for something external it doesn't work
[06:11] <erestar> And I have absolutely no idea why
[06:11] <corpulunt> yo
[06:12] <corpulunt> i just apt-get samba and there is no init.d script on /etc/init.d for it.
[06:12] <corpulunt> what could be wrong?
[06:12] <liquiddoom> erestar: Do you mean local as in the same IP, or the same domain?
[06:12] <erestar> local as in something served by the same computer that PHP is running on
[06:13] <erestar> You can test it with one line:
[06:13] <Some_Person> How can I resize ext3 to use unallocated space located before it in the extended partition?
[06:13] <erestar> <?php file("http://localhost") ?>

[06:14] <rycuda> Hi all I've got a set of Ubuntu desktops here that I'm trying to integrate into our active directory system. At least for logons.
[06:14] <Pici> !offtopic
[06:14] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[06:14] <Davy_Jones> Pici: here is an idea what i mean http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64
[06:14] <erestar> Any suggestions on what to check? I've enabled the wrapper and spoofed the user_agent to a mozilla browser string
[06:14] <erestar> Not sure what else to check
[06:15] <liquiddoom> erestar: Here it is
[06:15] <kitche> ryanakca: you most likely need openldap
[06:15] <corpulunt> i just apt-get samba and there is no init.d script on /etc/init.d for it.
[06:15] <corpulunt> what could be wrong?
[06:15] <axisys> I can access a remote windows folder thru Places -> Connect to Server.. how do I mount/map it to a local folder?
[06:15] <liquiddoom> erestar: allow_url_open in php.ini controls it, it seems
[06:15] <rycuda> I'm trying to use PAM ldap to achieve this. I can run succesful queries against AD using ldap tools. Watching the traffic using ethereal shows succesful results being returned by the server. However I always get an unknown users error when trying to auth against an account.
[06:15] <erestar> liquiddoom: You mean allow_url_fopen?
[06:16] <sipior> corpulunt: might simply be called something else. have you looked through the inventory of installed files?
[06:16] <erestar> liquiddoom: Cause that is enabled
[06:16] <liquiddoom> erestar: I guess so, I might be looking at an old document
[06:16] <Aquilas> Pici: Thanks that worked for me...
[06:16] <rycuda> Does anyone have any thoughts as to what I might be doing wrong?
[06:16] <erestar> liquiddoom: Eh, I'll put it in there and see what happens ;)
[06:16] <esteem> does anyone know how I am able to fully backup my compact flash card, with DD so that, both of the partitions that are contained on it, - are captured upon a standard DD image extractor?
[06:17] <ryanakca> kitche: for?
[06:18] <erestar> liquiddoom: Naw, that didn't work
[06:18] <lmosher> Can anyone help me debug my suspend/resume issues? I'm getting it to suspend about 50% of the time. When it fails, I just get a black screen...
[06:18] <liquiddoom> erestar: Darn. Perhaps it's a problem with apache's mod_php
[06:18] <max0> hi how do I change the default programs to file ext's eg when i click a *.doc file i want to change the program which opens it
[06:19] <Some_Person> Can anyone help me?
[06:19] <liquiddoom> !ask | Some_Person
[06:19] <ubotu> Some_Person: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:20] <kitche> ryanakca: so the active directory setup is for logon and file sharing correct?
[06:20] <Some_Person> this is my drive: [ntfs] [extended[unallocated] [ext3] [swap] ]  now how do i make the ext3 take up the unallocated space?
[06:20] <vocx> max0, with a right click you change that in properties
[06:20] <lmosher> No one here has any experience with suspend? Seriously?
[06:20] <erestar> liquiddoom: Would you mind testing to see if you're experiencing a similar issue?
[06:21] <erestar> I've run into this problem on a few ubuntu machines
[06:21] <liquiddoom> erestar: My server is down. HARD. sorry, apache exploded and I'm still trying to clean up after it
[06:21] <vocx> lmosher, susend and hibernate are tricky features. It worked for me on 6.06 but it doesn't anymore since 6.10 so I live with it
[06:21] <erestar> liquiddoom: Hehe, that stinks ;)
[06:21] <sipior> Some_Person: if there's enough room, move the ext3 partition to the beginning of the unallocated section, then grow the partition as desired
[06:21] <erestar> liquiddoom: I'm gunna try in #php
[06:21] <liquiddoom> erestar: yeah, apache doesn't wanna work right again, even if I run tasksel install lamp-server
[06:21] <Some_Person> sipior: GParted and Partition Magic won't let me
[06:22] <sipior> Some_Person: if the unallocated section is smaller than the ext3 partition, things won't work so well
[06:22] <Some_Person> sipior: the unallocated section is larger than the ext3 partition
[06:22] <kitche> ryanakca: this is the only way that I know that works http://www.nuxified.org/topic/managing_linux_through_windows_active_directory_0
[06:23] <Anlar> Some_Person: man tune2fs, you need -j I think
[06:23] <Some_Person> Anlar: what will tune2fs do?
[06:23] <sipior> Some_Person: strange, then you should be able to move them. you're not running gparted on a mounted disk, are you?
[06:23] <Some_Person> sipior: no
[06:23] <supremedialect> hi all any one familiar with digiop network cameras?
[06:23] <ryanakca> kitche: umm. I never asked a question...
[06:23] <sipior> Some_Person: you're using a boot disk of some sort?
[06:24] <Some_Person> sipior: the ubuntu live cd
[06:24] <kitche> rycuda this is the only way that I know that works http://www.nuxified.org/topic/managing_linux_through_windows_active_directory_0
[06:24] <sipior> Some_Person: okay, that's fine. does it give an error when it fails?
[06:24] <Some_Person> sipior: it just doesnt let me, no error
[06:24] <kitche> rycuda: at least without much fuss
[06:25] <Some_Person> sipior: i'm on windows right now (cuz i was told here to try partition magic), shall i switch to the ubuntu live cd?
[06:25] <sipior> Some_Person: wait, did it fail under both partition magic and gparted?
[06:25] <konam_> dyrne
[06:25] <Some_Person> sipior: neither one gives the option
[06:26] <rycuda> Thanks kitche I'll have a read.
[06:26] <Some_Person> sipior: GParted wont let me move the partition (it doesnt give the option), and Resize/Move is greyed out in Partition Magic
[06:26] <konam_> dyrne how do i disable the filesystem check?
[06:26] <kitche> rycuda: it even uses pam
[06:27] <bwisdom> ok, well right now I have another problem. "You must have the GLib 2.0 development headers installed to build." How do I fix this?
[06:27] <sipior> Some_Person: simplest option, frankly, would be to get a second disk, backup all partitions to that, repartition the old disk, and restore.
[06:27] <ebp> how can i show user's in xchat?
[06:27] <Some_Person> sipior: no
[06:27] <sipior> Some_Person: no?
[06:27] <Maximo> hi
[06:27] <Some_Person> sipior: i do not have another disk, and i refuse to buy one
[06:27] <bwisdom> ebp: there is a lil thing at the bottome left of the window that says users. click it and it will show them
[06:28] <Maximo> alquien habla espanol aqui..?
[06:28] <sipior> Some_Person: well, best of luck then
[06:28] <Some_Person> Anlar: you mentioned tune2fs, what is that then?
[06:29] <Cure> For some reason, I am unable to partition my hard drive
[06:29] <Anlar> Some_Person: first parted, I thought you had done that.. you can just maximize the previous partition to encompass that non-used as well.. then that -j fixes the file system to match that partition size
[06:29] <Cure> I tried Partition Magic, and then GParted, and neither work
[06:30] <lmosher> Some_Person, Basically you can't do this the way you want. It's very difficult to grow a partition forward. I had the same setup as you, and wanted to do something similar. I ended up deleting the NTFS partition, shrinking the ext3 partition as small as I could, COPYING it forward, then deleting the old ex3, growing the ext3, building the NTFS and reinstalling windows.
[06:30] <Some_Person> Anlar: GParted won't let me resize the partition to use the unallocated space before it
[06:30] <Maximo> hi i neeyou repar my disk hard
[06:30] <Maximo> help please
[06:30] <stuart-> ah crap, how can i use wine to install multi cd games
[06:30] <sipior> you can't move the beginning of an ext2/3 partition, sadly
[06:30] <stuart-> i'm done with the 1st disc but it doesn't let me unmount ot continue with 2nd disk
[06:31] <lmosher> Some_Person, If the unallocated space is smaller than the ext3, you should be able to copy it (that wasn't possible when I did it, hence deleting the NTFS partition)
[06:31] <Some_Person> sipior: so i'm forced to reinstall... :(
[06:31] <sipior> Some_Person: that's one option
[06:31] <sipior> stuart-: rip the discs to cd images
[06:31] <Anlar> Some_Person: I did not talk about GParted
[06:31] <lmosher> Some_Person, You read me? You can copy if you make room (I used GParted)
[06:31] <sexcopte1> mabus: well, i rebooted, and this time i saw a load of text run by, and *then* a blank screen until login :p so i guess it could be video card driver related. perhaps more hassle that it's worth...
[06:31] <Some_Person> lmosher: the unallocated space is larger than the ext3
[06:32] <stuart-> sipior, what next
[06:32] <lmosher> Some_Person, Then you should be able to copy your ext3 and delete the old one
[06:32] <juangar> juan_73_1
[06:32] <Some_Person> lmosher: let me switch to ubuntu livecd, just wait a sec
[06:32] <lmosher> Some_Person, I did this in gparted
[06:32] <juangar> juan_73_1hotamil.com
[06:32] <sipior> stuart-: you can mount the images as you like, just keep a spaer terminal handy
[06:32] <csmiga> I just loaded Ubuntu 7.04 on a SPARC box and WOW!  This is great!  The apt repository is huge and it runs so well.
[06:33] <lmosher> oh but you can't do it w/ windows mounted :)
[06:33] <Some_Person> lmosher: hence why i'm switching over, be back soon, bye
[06:33] <mabus> sexcopte1: yep, sounds like whatever the console uses to show stuff isn't working. it will probably look better if you put quiet back on, but yeah, it wouldn't be worth much trouble unless it means you can't use any of the tty screens at all
[06:33] <lmosher> oh wait.. I did it in partition magic. eh. whatever it should work.
[06:33] <New2Ubuntu> damn...
[06:34] <juangar> lamasmaladecaihotmail.com
[06:34] <AnotherDamnedDJ> there ... that one ALWAYS works...  ;)
[06:34] <sexcopte1> mabus: ok. well thanks for your help anyway!
[06:34] <mabus> sexcopte1: no problem
[06:34] <Cure> I don't understand why is refuses to resize my NTFS partition
[06:35] <Cure> *it
[06:35] <konam> someone knows how to disable the filesystem check in the boot time?
[06:35] <AnotherDamnedDJ> Anyone know how to set up ircd to give channel ops to the 1st person in channel?
[06:35] <AnotherDamnedDJ> mine doesn't seem to want to do that
[06:36] <stuart-> sipior, eh i didn't know images were mountable. so i just mount filename.iso ?
[06:37] <stuart-> mount filename.iso /target/dir ?
[06:37] <sipior> stuart-: you'll want the loop option to mount, syntax can be found in the mount man page

[06:44] <AntonSmari> I have one
[06:44] <profanephobia> ask away
[06:45] <AntonSmari> my computer freezes while installing ubuntu
[06:45] <ikonia> at what point
[06:45] <AntonSmari> also if it manages to install it freezes when updating
[06:45] <ikonia> is it the same point every time
[06:45] <ikonia> how many times have you tried it
[06:45] <AntonSmari> and sometimes just when booting onto the live cd
[06:45] <ikonia> why are you trying to update if you have not installed the system
[06:45] <profanephobia> whats your hardware specs
[06:45] <AntonSmari> when it manages to install that was long time ago
[06:45] <AntonSmari> like 2 days or so...
[06:46] <jbu311> can someone tell me how to unblock a port in ubuntu?
[06:46] <jbu311> i cant find the place to
[06:46] <rahimamir786> hi
[06:46] <AntonSmari> 4 x 1024MB 800MHz RAM pieces...
[06:46] <AntonSmari> 8800GTX
[06:46] <SirSherlock> whats a good terminal emulator besides xterm?
[06:46] <AntonSmari> 6600 Core 2 Duo
[06:47] <rahimamir786> what is a good wine emulator
[06:47] <SirSherlock> wine is not an emulator =P
[06:47] <sipior> jbu311: ports should be unblocked by default. which port do you need?
[06:47] <SirSherlock> WINE
[06:47] <rahimamir786> I mean what is a good windows emulator...
[06:47] <jbu311> Sipingal, 8888
[06:47] <profanephobia> antonsmari: maybe you have a bad stick of RAM...can you install any other distro or OS
[06:47] <kitche> ok I just seen a screwup with a package
[06:47] <alieas> Hi, I'm trying to use a PS2 -> USB adapter with ZSNES.  The joystick is identified with "dmesg", and you can grab input with "cat /dev/input/js0".  However, if you hold down a button, its choppy or stutters, as in a button release every 1 second.   Has anyone known this to happen before?
[06:47] <profanephobia> wine
[06:48] <SirSherlock> rahimamir786: id go with vmware
[06:48] <AntonSmari> yes I could install windows vista and windows xp without a problem
[06:48] <jbu311> Sipingal, all of them should be unblocked by default?
[06:48] <SirSherlock> check the ubuntu forums on how to setup
[06:48] <stuart-> how do i change between workspaces?
[06:48] <rahimamir786> is it free
[06:48] <ninix> hi, is  "Option "no_dri" "no"" in my xorg.conf disable DRI ?
[06:48] <stuart-> as in shortcut
[06:48] <alieas> Hi, I'm trying to use a PS2 -> USB adapter with ZSNES.  The joystick is identified with "dmesg", and you can grab input with "cat /dev/input/js0".  However, if you hold down a button, its choppy or stutters, as in a button release every 1 second.   Has anyone known this to happen before?
[06:48] <sipior> jbu311: sure it's not blocked by your modem?
[06:48] <JunkYard> fools jockin my nick. :/
[06:48] <AntonSmari> never even froze but I had sometimes problem running stuff, might be a bad piece of ram
[06:48] <kitche> Does anyone know why they compiled OpenVPN without SSL support what is the point of having it installed then?
[06:48] <jbu311> sipior, i'm not sure
[06:48] <rahimamir786> exit
[06:48] <newbie> Will Ubuntu run on 733Mhz@256Mb@4Gb@Intel 82810?
[06:49] <profanephobia> antonsamri: remove all but one stick and go from there to test your RAM
[06:49] <jbu311> sipior, crap i think i've been talking to the wrong person instead of u
[06:49] <profanephobia> newbie: yes
[06:49] <genii> newbie Yes
[06:49] <newbie> it will be very slow?
[06:49] <sipior> jbu311: tab-complete is a dangerous friend :)
[06:49] <fedora-ds> does anyone here have expirience with ldap + samba + qmail ??? that could give me a hand?
[06:49] <AntonSmari> so what do you suggest if I have a bad block of ram}
[06:49] <profanephobia> newbie: you can configure for best speed
[06:50] <profanephobia> if you have bad RAm it wil need to be replaced, also check your ubuntu cd/image
[06:50] <mzaza> What is the diffrence between ubuntu (gusty) and gubuntu?
[06:50] <kitche> mzaza: you mean gobuntu
[06:50] <newbie> profanephobia: can I use fvwm or enlightenment >
[06:50] <coopster> gobotu?
[06:50] <mzaza> kitche: oh, ya. sry
[06:50] <kitche> mzaza: gobuntu is all free software
[06:50] <AntonSmari> I have 2 ubuntu cd's both unable to install
[06:50] <profanephobia> newbie: i wouldnt recommend enlightenment and sorry but ive never used the other
[06:51] <Leolimas> AntonSmari make a md5 check
[06:51] <kitche> mzaza: so it won't be able to install nvidia drivers and such most likely
[06:51] <profanephobia> newbie: but gnome should work fine
[06:51] <AntonSmari> how do I do that}
[06:51] <newbie> profanephobia: really?
[06:51] <mzaza> kitche: ok, thanks.
[06:51] <kitche> mzaza: unless you do it by hand of course
[06:51] <newbie> profanephobia: I am afraid of only 256 Mb
[06:51] <bz0b> just checking if their are any vulnerabilites in feisty kernel 2.6.20-16 'cause my boss needs me to get into one of our ex-employees systems
[06:51] <AntonSmari> how do I do a md5 check?
[06:52] <bz0b> i have user access but i need to escalate privlidges
[06:52] <rocky> i'm looking to buy some new wireless N stuff... what's the most hassle-free laptop wifi card (N) i can get for ubuntu/fiesty ?
[06:52] <Leolimas> profanephobia: hey man, what version did u installed at ur old notebook ?
[06:52] <profanephobia> newbie: do you have to have a GUI otherwise i would just use text based
[06:52] <vandenoever> AntonSmari: md5sum $file
[06:52] <Agrajag> bz0b: ...why don't you simply boot from a CD?
[06:52] <AntonSmari> on the image file}
[06:52] <profanephobia> leolimas: do you mean what version of ubuntu
[06:52] <Leolimas> profanephobia yes man
[06:52] <obtix> say i output to a file (ie: ls -l >>~/test/test.txt) and i want to run a second command that is similar to append to the test.txt file. how would i do this?
[06:53] <bz0b> Agrajag: if i boot from cd, can i change the root
[06:53] <fedora-ds> does anyone here have expirience with ldap + samba + qmail ??? that could give me a hand?
[06:53] <Agrajag> bz0b: that's what chroot is for
[06:53] <malocite> I am in Canada and it keeps hanging when I try to download pacakges
[06:53] <newbie> profanephobia: just use console?
[06:53] <profanephobia> sorry i got confused... i was running edgy eft
[06:53] <eubey> what is the current kernel for ubuntu right now?
[06:53] <Leolimas> profanephobia I will try install 6.0
[06:53] <Leolimas> profanephobia alternate CD
[06:53] <coopster> obtix, if you use >, it will overwrite the file, but if you use >>, it will always append, no matter what command it is
[06:53] <eubey> beter question, what is the kernel that is included with the feisty install cd?
[06:53] <Some_Person> is there no way at all to add free space to the beginning of an ext3 partition?
[06:53] <profanephobia> the alternate cd is text based so prolly would be best
[06:54] <sipior> eubey: 2.6.20, iirc
[06:54] <bz0b> Agrajag: so explain what would i do boot into live cd, open terminal and
[06:54] <obtix> coopster: thank you!
[06:54] <Some_Person> if not i'll have to reinstall
[06:54] <AntonSmari> I am afraid I formated the disk containing the image file...
[06:54] <coopster> obtix, no problem
[06:54] <Hibame> Anyone know a way to remove ubuntu besiedes just installing another os or using gparted
[06:54] <bz0b> aagrajag: i have user access because he saved it to boot up without pass but how would i get his user pass with being logged in, is it possible
[06:54] <Agrajag> bz0b: sudo chroot </media/root/filesystem> /bin/bash
[06:54] <profanephobia> newbie: yeah just a console but you shouldnt have to much trouble running with 256
[06:54] <Some_Person> i want to avoid reinstalling
[06:54] <coopster> Hibame, format the partition?
[06:55] <newbie> okay thx
[06:55] <Agrajag> bz0b: where that bit in <> is whereever your new root is
[06:55] <Some_Person> but i need more space on my ext3, and my unallocated space is located before the ext3
[06:55] <Hibame> coopster I need to format it so I can install another os on it
[06:55] <coopster> Hibame, the other OS install process should do that for you
[06:55] <Agrajag> bz0b: you should then have a root shell, in the installed system, and can run passwd on his account
[06:55] <profanephobia> Hibame: what Os do you plan on installing
[06:55] <AntonSmari> should I try booting the cd with only 1 x 1024 block of RAM?
[06:55] <sipior> Some_Person: the beginning of an ext3 partition is fixed; so, unless you can copy it (and i
[06:56] <bz0b> it asks for current pass
[06:56] <Davy_Jones> can i tell synaptic to view all installed packages.. i wanna free some disk space
[06:56] <profanephobia> antonsmari:i would
[06:56] <Hibame> coopster it doesnt, after installing ubuntu server NO other os sees the drives not even ubuntu client
[06:56] <coopster> AntonSmari, sure, i've booted it with 256mb of ram
[06:56] <Agrajag> bz0b: there is no password on the liveCD, just hit enter
[06:56] <sipior> Some_Person: and i'm guessing gparted didn't let you) you're stuck with a reinstall, i'm afraid
[06:56] <Some_Person> FUCK
[06:56] <Hibame> I want windows server 2003 profanephobia
[06:56] <AntonSmari> thanks, il try that and then let you guys know ty for your help :)
[06:56] <ikonia> Some_Person: there is no need for that language
[06:56] <bz0b> agrajag: its ubuntu its defaulted to sudo root account is locked
[06:56] <Agrajag> !ohmy
[06:56] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[06:56] <ttt-> hi, i can ping my router ip, but i cant access the network beyond that. what could be the problem?
[06:56] <Agrajag> bz0b: on the liveCD?
[06:57] <profanephobia> Hibame: easiest way would prolly be to download DOS and format it that way if you dont want to use gparted
[06:57] <bz0b> agrajag: on installed version, is it possible without livecd
[06:57] <Agrajag> I said, run "sudo chroot </media/root/filesystem> /bin/bash"
[06:57] <coopster> ttt-, is your router set as the gateway for your computer?
[06:57] <Agrajag> bz0b: not that I know of
[06:57] <ttt-> yes
[06:57] <vonderer> hi there
[06:57] <AntonSmari> btw, I am using Gaim Internet Messenger on the live cd at the moment
[06:57] <bz0b> i dont have the users actual password its saved to boot up without pass
[06:57] <vonderer> does anyone here use MPD?
[06:57] <Some_Person> is ext2 beginning also fixed?
[06:57] <coopster> Hibame, i'm not sure, the other OS's should be able to see the drive regardless
[06:57] <ttt-> i got anotther computer hooked up to it, and it is working fine
[06:57] <Hibame> profanephobia: I would use gparted but apprently they havent gotten their livecd to a workable state
[06:57] <sipior> Some_Person: yep
[06:57] <AntonSmari> and its running fine just until I begin install...
[06:57] <Davy_Jones> can i tell synaptic to list all installed packages?
[06:58] <AntonSmari> and If I make the install I get grub error 21
[06:58] <Agrajag> bz0b: So thenyou need to change it
[06:58] <profanephobia> Hibame: you might have a hardware problem
[06:58] <coopster> ttt-, if you run 'ip route' on the computer, does it have a line that says 'default via' ?
[06:58] <bz0b> aaragon: yes so i need a boot cd
[06:58] <Hibame> coopster it has to be something ubuntu server did as ubuntu client cant even install
[06:58] <AntonSmari> just if, its like 1/50
[06:58] <profanephobia> Hibame: is it a SATA drive or what
[06:58] <Agrajag> bz0b: Boot it with a liveCD, chroot into the installed system, and run passwd on his account to change it. Then you can boot it back up and do what you want
[06:58] <phenom> To change you nickserv pass?
[06:58] <Agrajag> bz0b: Yes, you do.
[06:58] <Rayen> Hello, I was just wondering if there is a Linux distribution out there, which is made to only run Xen? (So it would be a very small linux distribution)
[06:58] <Some_Person> why is ext3 beginning fixed?
[06:58] <coopster> Hibame, I've installed server before and it doesn't hide the drive, it sounds like hardware issues
[06:58] <Hibame> profanephobia: the thing is right before I installed ubuntu server all three pata hard drives worked perfectly fine on xp
[06:58] <ttt-> coopster: no it doesnt
[06:58] <sipior> Some_Person: that's complicated
[06:59] <bz0b> agrajag how do i chroot into the system, what would i have to know before i reboot
[06:59] <Agrajag> vonderer: I use it
[06:59] <ikonia> being fixed
[06:59] <ikonia> ?
[06:59] <ikonia> whats wrong with it
[06:59] <profanephobia> Rayen: the smallest linux distro ive used was DSL
[06:59] <Some_Person> i cant move it, i cant copy/paste it, it has less than half a gig free space, theres nothing i can do
[06:59] <AntonSmari> any1 know what could possibly be wrong
[06:59] <malocite> is the canadian distro down?
[06:59] <coopster> ttt-, then that computer doesn't actually have the gateway set.  run 'ip route add default via (router's IP)' as root, and see if that helps.
[06:59] <Agrajag> bz0b: I just told you how to use chroot. It's a very simple command. You need to know the mountpoint of the root filesystem that you want to chroot into
[06:59] <Hibame> coopster: having three hard drives fail at the same time seems unlikely to me
[06:59] <genii> malocite: Yes
[06:59] <sipior> Some_Person: i'm not entirely sure why you can't copy the partition, but i can't see your screen, etc.
[06:59] <malocite> is there a way I can use the us one?
[06:59] <coopster> Hibame, well, so server is installed onto a raid?
[07:00] <bz0b> agrajag is there a command i can use to find the root filesystem
[07:00] <fuffal0> this isn't an ubuntu question really...but i thought i would ask as someone might know ... i shut off my computer last night, and when i go to boot it now it just sits at the inital bios screen (shows the date/time and my cpu, but doesn't move on to RAM/HD detection) - I can't hit DEL to get into setup (my keyboard doesnt look like its been turned on yet) - any ideas?
[07:00] <Agrajag> bz0b: mount
[07:00] <Hibame> coopster: no it was a lvm
[07:00] <bz0b> agrajag its on a notebook computer, is it most likely /root
[07:00] <vonderer> Agrajag: I've got a problem: on my feisty it halts every time I stop playing and start the same track after some time.
[07:00] <ikonia> fuffal0: this is ubuntu support
[07:00] <ttt-> coopster! omg that did it
[07:00] <Agrajag> bz0b: you're not really getting it
[07:00] <genii> malocite: To use the one at York University in toronto, change all   ca.archive.ubuntu.com   to debian.yorku.ca   in the file /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:00] <fuffal0> ikonia i know but i don't know where else to ask
[07:00] <profanephobia> Hibame: ok ive never had ubuntu cause this problem but download something like knoppix and try to let it format your drives
[07:00] <ikonia> fuffal0: on your motherboard makers support system
[07:00] <bz0b> agrajag, eg /dev/sda1
[07:00] <ttt-> coopster: i thought it set the gateway ip already :/
[07:00] <Agrajag> bz0b: and no /root is not the root FS, that's the home directory of the root user
[07:00] <Some_Person> i just recently got ubuntu working perfectly how i want it, it was 2 months in the making
[07:00] <Agrajag> bz0b: that's the device, not the filesystem
[07:00] <Some_Person> i do not want to reinstall
[07:01] <Some_Person> but i need more free space
[07:01] <profanephobia> some_person: what was going on again
[07:01] <neverblue> ca.*.ubuntu.com are so slow
[07:01] <profanephobia> oh yeah
[07:01] <sipior> Some_Person: then back up to another disk, or juggle and remove partitions you don't need
[07:01] <bz0b> agrajag, what main directory would it be in
[07:01] <coopster> ttt-, ;)  take a look at your System -> Administration -> Networking settings and see if it's go the gateway set.  If it's using DHCP, i'm not sure why it wouldnt get set
[07:01] <Agrajag> vonderer: Oh, I run it on dapper with no sound device, just streaming
[07:01] <bz0b> is it /media?
[07:01] <vonderer> Agrajag: ah, nevermind then :)
[07:01] <Agrajag> bz0b: OK. The root filesystem is /.
[07:02] <Agrajag> It will NOT be so when you boot from the CD.
[07:02] <coopster> Hibame, so, all the partitiions that are in the LVM volume should show up to the other OS install, but the LVM volume isnt going to
[07:02] <Agrajag> BEcause then / will be the CD's root
[07:02] <Some_Person> sipior: yeah, back up an entire ubuntu isntall, right? how the fuck do you do that?
[07:02] <genii> Maybe some op can put on topic about ca.archive.ubuntu.com ??
[07:02] <sipior> Some_Person: copy the partition to another disk, problem solved
[07:02] <Agrajag> You need to find out what device is mounted on / NOW, and then find out where that deivce is mounted when you boot the liveCD, and then chroot into that
[07:02] <Some_Person> sipior: i dont have one
[07:02] <profanephobia> Some_person: well all installed packages are archived by ubuntu for one
[07:02] <genii> afk, work
[07:02] <Some_Person> profanephobia: duh
[07:03] <coopster> Some_Person, ...what's the problem?  why can't you just use gparted to move the ext3 partition so that the free space is at the end, and then resize it?
[07:03] <Hibame> coopster, the thing is bios sees the drives and so does the os, but it seems that when the os attemps to write to the drives to start the install nothing happens, windows bsod and linux just says no drives are in the pc
[07:03] <Some_Person> coopster: it wont let me
[07:03] <profanephobia> some_person: ive backed up my install plenty of times
[07:03] <coopster> Some_Person, need to be more specific.  does it slap your hand when you try, or what?
[07:04] <Some_Person> coopster: i choose resize/move, and it just wont let me move it
[07:04] <osxdude|lap> Hello, I want to have a cloned screen (aka 2 X screens). I have tried the turorial on the wiki with no luck.
[07:04] <eubey> how do i make my hard drive show up in the /dev/ folder when booting from the live cd? Right now it is only showing up as /media/disk, but i need to be able to mount it as /dev/hda1
[07:04] <profanephobia> Hibame: ive had your problem before but for me Vista caused it...all i did was scrubbed the drives
[07:04] <J_P> hi all
[07:04] <coopster> Hibame, huh, that's odd.  i would try booting from a LiveCD, boot disk, or whatever and using fdisk to delete all the partitions and see what that does
[07:04] <osxdude|lap> Can anyone help me?
[07:04] <eubey> osxdude|lap, what gfx card u using?
[07:04] <J_P> people, how I know what package have utility 'xv' ?
[07:04] <Hibame> profanephobia: how do I do that
[07:05] <J_P> apt-file search xv ?
[07:05] <varka> osxdude|lap: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174
[07:05] <osxdude|lap> eubey: 5200
[07:05] <Hibame> coopster: I tried the gparted livecd and it didnt support my video card, and when I did the ubuntu livecd it said no drives installed
[07:05] <lxuser> can someone please help me mount my external usb hdd?
[07:06] <coopster> Some_Person, dunno.  copy the partition to either another drive, repartition the one you need, and copy it back.
[07:06] <bz0b> agrajag: eg, like if i was mounting the filesystem on a freshly installed gentoo it would be for example "chroot /mnt/gentoo" right
[07:06] <bz0b> '
[07:06] <lxuser> I can clearly hear the drive spinning but when i try to mount /dev/sda1 it gives me this
[07:06] <profanephobia> Hibame: most people look for third party software like Drive scrubber but try this... first where your drives in raid or was the OS only on on edrive
[07:06] <lxuser> mount point /media/usb1 does not exist
[07:06] <Agrajag> bz0b: something like that, yes
[07:07] <Some_Person> coopster: I DONT HAVE ANOTHER DRIVE FOR THE 3RD TIME
[07:07] <Some_Person> coopster: i dont have another drive
[07:07] <sipior> lxuser: you can just make that dierctory
[07:07] <Hibame> profanephobia: it was only on one drive, I then used lvm to extend to the other two
[07:07] <lxuser> sipior, what do you mean?
[07:07] <sipior> Some_Person: back off, or you can solve your problem on your own.
[07:07] <coopster> Some_Person, so, accept the fact that you've screwed up by not planning ahead.  you'd have to pay me for help before you get to yell at me.  good luck/
[07:07] <bz0b> agrajag, so i know that the installed system is on dev/sda1 so if i mount that to like /mnt/ubuntu then chroot /mnt/ubuntu would that work
[07:08] <Some_Person> coopster: not planning ahead?
[07:08] <eubey> osxdude|lap, install nvidia-glx and nvidia-settings
[07:08] <sipior> lxuser: just do "sudo mkdir /media/usb1", it should then have a mount point
[07:08] <Agrajag> bz0b: yes
[07:08] <profanephobia> Hibame: ok have you removed the drive that the OS was installed on to see if they can be found
[07:08] <bz0b> agrajag. thanks
[07:08] <Agrajag> bz0b: thought the liveCD should mount stuff like that automatically to something like /media/sda1
[07:08] <coopster> Hibame, i'd look for a drive eraser cd, there are some free cd images out there
[07:09] <jetscreamer> what's wrong with dd
[07:09] <bummer> hi to all :)
[07:09] <dominussuus> bummer: hi!
[07:09] <Hibame> profanephobia: I have tried to install to all three drives individualy but all came up with the same issues
[07:09] <eubey> osxdude|lap, then run nvidia-settings via terminal
[07:09] <dominussuus> question for the room: what sort of reputation does wodim/cdrecord have for breaking CD-RWs?
[07:09] <ujuergensen> channels
[07:09] <jetscreamer> !room
[07:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about room - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:09] <profanephobia> Hibame: damn that sucks... ok what all hav eyou tried to format the drives with
[07:09] <Hibame> coopster: got any names off hand?
[07:10] <genii> Sounds like an IDE controller failure and not a drive failure
[07:10] <jetscreamer> what a very extensively lobotomized bot
[07:10] <jetscreamer> !botsnack
[07:10] <ubotu> Yum! Err, I mean, APT!
[07:10] <eubey> osxdude|lap, then there should be an option under screen or display or something where you can set one of the connected monitors to clone
[07:10] <dominussuus> genii: that was for me?
[07:10] <coopster> Hibame, http://www.killdisk.com/downloadfree.htm
[07:10] <Hibame> profanephobia: windows vista, windows server 2003, windows xp, gparted, ubuntu client, ubuntu server still installs and I tired that but it did nothing
[07:10] <lxuser> sipior, that seemed to do something, now when i try to mount /dev/sda1 it wants me to specify the filesystem. I know what that means, but im not sure what to do
[07:10] <Anlar> jetscreamer: just do /ignore ubotu and then /ignore -regexp -pattern "^!" *  ;)
[07:11] <profanephobia> Hibame: ok one ec and ill find a good prog for you to try
[07:11] <genii> dominussuus: no, for hibame
[07:11] <ds0n> .
[07:11] <dominussuus> genii: okay :)
[07:11] <sipior> lxuser: odd, it should just mount when you plug it in. you can specify the filesystem type with the -t option to mount
[07:11] <eubey> osxdude|lap, you may have to go to system>administration>restricted drivers manager and enable the nvidia driver
[07:11] <Hibame> genii: but then how do I still install ubuntu server to them just fine?
[07:11] <jetscreamer> Anlar: why would i want to ignore the bot
[07:12] <lxuser> sipior, fdisk -l tells me its fat32, is there something i need to modify in the fstab?
[07:12] <coopster> lxuser, if it's giving you a mount point not found error, try running 'mkdir /media/usb1' then trying.
[07:12] <Anlar> jetscreamer: because it's utter rubbish?
[07:12] <osxdude|lap> eubey:  I did
[07:12] <fluffles> hi guys, how can i 'rescan' the Parallel ATA bus for harddrives? in FreeBSD that would be atacontrol reinit ata0, any linux/ubuntu equivalent?
[07:12] <profanephobia> Hibame: ok try going here http://www.webmasterfree.com/Hard_Disk_Scrubber_2.0_d1472.html
[07:12] <lxuser> coopster, ive done that, now its asking me to specify a file system.
[07:12] <Hibame> profanephobia: do I need to hook my drives up to a windows box to use that?
[07:12] <eubey> osxdude|lap, kk then restart compy and use nvidia-settings to configure the dual screen or clone or whatever you need
[07:12] <sipior> lxuser: yes, the type should be vfat
[07:12] <genii> Hibame: Goos question :)
[07:12] <genii> bleh, typos
[07:13] <osxdude|lap> eubey: I
[07:13] <osxdude|lap> oops
[07:13] <jetscreamer> Anlar: sometimes it knows things though, url's for one
[07:13] <profanephobia> Hibame: i think its a bootable image im not sure why it mentions os requirements
[07:13] <benzs_s> so i downloaded the KDE stuff onto ubuntu
[07:13] <lxuser> sipior, what specifically should it look like? just making sure
[07:13] <benzs_s> how does one change from gnome to kde in one swift movement
[07:13] <coopster> Hibame, the link i gave you has a bootable cd.
[07:13] <benzs_s> ninjakde or something
[07:13] <Hibame> profanephobia: its an exe
[07:13] <vonderer>  I'm trying to use MPD here, on my kubuntu 7.04, and have this problem: every time I try to play the same song after stopping it or to continue after pausing it for some time, it halts. Is there any way to solve this problem?
[07:13] <jetscreamer> benzs_s: you can install kde, gnome, whatever.... the seperation is kinda artificial
[07:13] <osxdude|lap> eubey: I'll just restart X
[07:13] <Hibame> coopster: yea I am downloading it now
[07:13] <benzs_s> jetscreamer: oui
[07:13] <jetscreamer> mix&match to taste
[07:13] <eubey> osxdude|lap, go fors it
[07:14] <benzs_s> well i tried using kubuntu, but it was buggy as hell for some reason
[07:14] <profanephobia> benzs_s: if you want the absoulute fastest way then log out and change your session
[07:14] <sipior> lxuser: /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb1  vfat defaults  0  0
[07:14] <benzs_s> oh?
[07:14] <Anlar> jetscreamer: not really, as all of those are usually the first hits using google, and it doesn't cause that silly spam here
[07:14] <benzs_s> at the login menu?
[07:14] <profanephobia> hibame: oh shit sorry ill look again
[07:14] <benzs_s> <_ something of a noob, sorry
[07:14] <lostMyMarbles> I am trying to start a program called GENS and when I click on the icon it appears in the task bar and says starting GENS but then nothing happens and it disappears from the task bar any ideas?
[07:14] <profanephobia> benzs_s: yeah at the log in screen go to options and change session to KDE
[07:14] <jetscreamer> Anlar: i was thinking more about the ubuntu.com url's
[07:14] <benzs_s> damn
[07:14] <coopster> benzs_s, you can run 'apt-get install kubuntu-desktop' and it will grab everything you need.
[07:14] <benzs_s> easy as that huh?
[07:15] <jetscreamer> Anlar: i do prefer dpkg though
[07:15] <profanephobia> lostmymarbles: try to launch it from the terminal
[07:15] <benzs_s> coopster: i did it through synaptic, so i assume it should all be there?
[07:15] <lostMyMarbles> I did and it says.../home/richard/.gtkrc-2.0:2: error: scanner: unterminated string constant - e.g. `style'
[07:15] <coopster> benzs_s, yep, then you'd just need to change the session
[07:15] <benzs_s> awesome
[07:15] <benzs_s> cheers guys
[07:16] <profanephobia> cheers
[07:16] <lxuser> sipior, worked like a charm, thanks!
[07:16] <sipior> lxuser: my pleasure
[07:16] <profanephobia> Hibame: do you have a floppy drive
[07:17] <Hibame> profanephobia: yes
[07:17] <Hibame> profanephobia: but not disks
[07:17] <profanephobia> hibame: ok then try using DOS to format the drives...(wow i cant believe i said that)
[07:17] <profanephobia> oh
[07:17] <bommelom> has anyone got wpa2 encryption working under ubuntu?
[07:17] <Davy_Jones> why do i think ubuntu takes up a lot of disk space?
[07:18] <profanephobia> davy_jones: why do you think that
[07:18] <romgmz> hi im very new, i need healp
[07:18] <umop-apisdn> Davy_Jones: hah! you should see sabayon's footprint
[07:18] <profanephobia> romgmz: what the prob
[07:18] <Davy_Jones> profanephobia: i installed it on a 6GB drive.. and it's 100 percent full
[07:18] <scd-br> somebody knows some Java IDE, slight and good, to Ubuntu?
[07:18] <romgmz> how can install my second hdd its all ready in my lap
[07:18] <Davy_Jones> profanephobia: i know i got stuff in my /home folder but still
[07:18] <Davy_Jones> they don't take up that much
[07:19] <profanephobia> davy_jones: uninstall unneeded packages surely there are things you dont need
[07:19] <stefg> romgmz: you need to make a partition, format it with a filesystem, and the choose a mountpoint and enter that to /etc/fstab
[07:19] <profanephobia> romgmz: if your hard drive has been installed then all thats left is to format it
[07:19] <profanephobia> romgmz: use gparted
[07:19] <Davy_Jones> profanephobia: i am in the process of doing that
[07:20] <Davy_Jones> i uninstalled evolution, balckjack games, palmOS stuff
[07:20] <stefg> romgmz: what are you going to use the drive for?
[07:20] <profanephobia> davy_jones: maybe ubuntu isnt the right distro for you..maybe you need a smaller distro
[07:20] <Davy_Jones> i got 60 MB back
[07:20] <umop-apisdn> Davy_Jones: my ubuntu install eats only 2.4gb
[07:20] <Davy_Jones> profanephobia: probably.. i'll try crux
[07:20] <romgmz> i want to use my 2 hdd
[07:21] <umop-apisdn> Davy_Jones: how big is your home folder?
[07:21] <profanephobia> although im not sure where all that space went
[07:21] <romgmz> like in w xp c and d
[07:21] <Davy_Jones> umop-apisdn: and they keep telling you windows is bloated
[07:21] <illovae> hello
[07:21] <romgmz> but i cant found my second hdd
[07:21] <umop-apisdn> Davy_Jones: windows *is* bloated... have you seen how much space vista eats?

[07:21] <Jack_Sparrow> Davy_Jones: burn var/apt/cache/archives to a cd
[07:21] <Davy_Jones> umop-apisdn: my home folder is 740.6MB
[07:21] <profanephobia> romgmz: do you mean you want windows to be install on that hdd or that you want it to be able to read that drive
[07:22] <Davy_Jones> umop-apisdn: think i gotta delete some pr0n
[07:22] <profanephobia> lol
[07:22] <umop-apisdn> Davy_Jones: my *clean* vista install ate 18 gigs.
[07:22] <Davy_Jones> umop-apisdn: but 2.4GB is still too much for an operating system
[07:22] <Davy_Jones> umop-apisdn: what???? 18 gigs?
[07:22] <profanephobia> geesh
[07:22] <umop-apisdn> Davy_Jones: open a console, type "df -H" (minus the quotes)
[07:22] <profanephobia> was it ultimate
[07:22] <profanephobia> lol
[07:22] <AntonSmari> hey all
[07:22] <umop-apisdn> profanephobia: nope - default install from dell, vista home basic
[07:23] <romgmz> i want to read it and format to use just ubuntu
[07:23] <profanephobia> lol
[07:23] <stefg> Davy_Jones: we're talking a /full/ OS, including Office browser and mail here...
[07:23] <Davy_Jones> umop-apisdn: /dev/sda5     ext3    6.0G  5.6G   89M  99% /
[07:23] <Davy_Jones> 99 percent full
[07:23] <umop-apisdn> oh yeah... i uninstalled openoffice
[07:23] <AntonSmari> managed to install ubuntu on my desktop...  but I got grub error 21...
[07:23] <Jack_Sparrow> Davy_Jones: Look to see how much space var/apt/cache/archives is taking up
[07:23] <profanephobia> romgmz: ok just format it to however you see fit
[07:23] <stefg> !minimal
[07:23] <ubotu> The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[07:23] <AntonSmari> AGAIN :(
[07:23] <screencast> hi
[07:23] <Davy_Jones> profanephobia: i just did apt-get clean yesterday
[07:24] <Jack_Sparrow> Davy_Jones: Look to see how much space var/cache/apt/archives is taking up
[07:24] <zaxor0> I have a usb hard drive tat did mount before on ubuntu but now it doesnt, but it does on another computer, how can I fix this?
[07:24] <profanephobia> davy_jones: DSL all the way if you dont have the space
[07:24] <romgmz> im in gparted
[07:24] <Davy_Jones> Jack_Sparrow: there is no /var/cache :S
[07:24] <screencast> I am capturing a screencast right now :D
[07:24] <AntonSmari> anyone specialized in grub error 21
[07:24] <bulmer> I didnt realize this..a user3 logs out but it still shows the x-sessions are active via ps -aux.  How to ensure when a user is log-ging out the x-session is really killed?
[07:24] <stefg> zaxor0: try another port
[07:24] <profanephobia> antonsamri: one sec
[07:24] <Davy_Jones> Jack_Sparrow: oh, found it
[07:24] <romgmz> i can see a hdd /dev/sda
[07:24] <vikzx86> What's the difference between the Ubuntu CD and DVD??
[07:24] <romgmz> and /dev/hde
[07:24] <jport> where are the tango icons located ?
[07:25] <Davy_Jones> Jack_Sparrow: 2 items, totalling 4.0 KB
[07:25] <jrib> vikzx86: the dvd contains all of the main and restricted repositories
[07:25] <profanephobia> antonsmari: ok its seems to be a BIOS/device problem
[07:25] <romgmz> wich one is not the main one , i dont want to formant the wrong one
[07:25] <stefg> romgmz: sudo fdisk -l
[07:25] <Jack_Sparrow> Davy_Jones: You already cleaned it.. I always burn it to a cd so I dont need to download it again..
[07:25] <AntonSmari> hmm, it cant be the device
[07:26] <profanephobia> antonsamri: do you have any external devices hooked up
[07:26] <AntonSmari> you think it might be the BIOS}
[07:26] <Davy_Jones> Jack_Sparrow: yeah, i did that too.. it helps later if you don't have a good internet connection
[07:26] <profanephobia> im reading bios problem for that error
[07:26] <vikzx86> jrib, Will it have nVidia Drivers too??
[07:26] <Jack_Sparrow> Davy_Jones: Makes multiple installs much faster
[07:26] <jrib> vikzx86: I believe so
[07:26] <johnny5> k, just installed feisty on my dell 9200. shouldn't i need to install restricted nvidia drivers or something?
[07:26] <AntonSmari> well I got my ipod dock but no ipod in it, should I remove all usb and try booting up again?
[07:27] <profanephobia> yeah try that
[07:27] <Davy_Jones> johnny5: depending on your graphics card, you probably need
[07:27] <umop-apisdn> Davy_Jones: apt-get autoclean
[07:27] <AntonSmari> ok il boot now and then contact you again, thanks alot guys, youve been real help :)
[07:27] <profanephobia> np
[07:27] <facecoos> I have a Ubuntu server running and it is showing a "server load" of 0,25... now is this much or not? what is max? 1 or 100?
[07:27] <Hibame> profanephobia and coopster: avtive@killdisk didnt even see the hard drive
[07:27] <Davy_Jones> umop-apisdn: what's it do?
[07:27] <johnny5> i tried running the restricted driver manager, but it says my hardware doesn't require restricted drivers
[07:27] <umop-apisdn> Davy_Jones: automagically cleans up old archives in your apt stuff
[07:27] <zaxor0> I have a usb hard drive tat did mount before on ubuntu but now it doesnt, but it does on another computer, how can I fix this? trying a different port does not work.
[07:28] <profanephobia> Hibame: ok im almost out of ideas ... do you have another computer you can hook those up to
[07:28] <romgmz> needs to be primary partition or extended
[07:28] <umop-apisdn>  clean - Erase downloaded archive files
[07:28] <umop-apisdn>    autoclean - Erase old downloaded archive files
[07:28] <profanephobia> primary
[07:28] <Hibame> profanephobia: I tried that and when I hooked it up windows never regonsied the drives
[07:29] <profanephobia> Hibame: this will sound stupid but try checking the jumpers
[07:29] <aruiz_> does anyone have had problems with dns resolution with gutsy_
[07:29] <aruiz_> ?
[07:29] <raf256> hello, is it possible to use sound card in linux? I can spend up to 80$ on needed hard/soft ware
[07:29] <Hibame> profanephobia: I did, they are set right
[07:29] <facecoos> ??? is a load of 0.25 much or not?
[07:29] <umop-apisdn> raf256: simple answer: yes. complex answer: maybe.
[07:29] <raf256> umop-apisdn: how to
[07:29] <eubey> whats the best light weight window manager?
[07:30] <johnny5> Davy_Jones: when i run restricted driver manager, it says i don't have any hardware that requires restricted drivers, but i'm running an nvidia card?
[07:30] <jetscreamer> raf256: unless that's not your nick, i know you know better
[07:30] <umop-apisdn> raf256: it seems to work fine for me right out of the box, except i only have 2 sound channels (left/right) instead of my 5.1 surround
[07:30] <zaxor0> does chmod -v 666 /media/harddrive lock me out of my usb hard drive? it wont mount anymore
[07:30] <raf256> jetscreamer: I found out that this is hardly possible
[07:30] <raf256> jetscreamer: and I wonder why
[07:30] <Davy_Jones> johnny5: i don't know of an other solution but to download the drivers file from nvidia and recompile the kernel
[07:30] <profanephobia> Hibame: long shot... ok  im not sure what else to try ,ill browse google
[07:31] <umop-apisdn> johnny5: try enabling desktop effects, it'll go get the nvidia driver
[07:31] <raf256> I require simple 2 channel sound, output and input (mic)
[07:31] <johnny5> i get a white screen when i enable desktop effects
[07:31] <profanephobia> zaxor0: no its something else
[07:31] <umop-apisdn> johnny5: for how long?
[07:31] <profanephobia> zaxor0: is the device connected during boot
[07:31] <johnny5> until i hit esc
[07:31] <jetscreamer> yes zaxor0
[07:31] <jetscreamer> the directory need to be executable
[07:32] <Davy_Jones> yeah.. the white screen is an effect :P jk
[07:32] <profanephobia> but it would still mount
[07:32] <profanephobia> should anyways
[07:32] <umop-apisdn> johnny5: hmm... i dunno, guy... it worked fine for me right outta the box
[07:32] <jetscreamer> zaxor0: if directories are not executable, 7, you can't cd to them
[07:32] <romgmz> i allready format the disk , where i can see it
[07:32] <raf256> so.. how to get sound (2 channel output and input/mic working on linux)?
[07:32] <jetscreamer> make that not executable, not 7
[07:32] <umop-apisdn> johnny5: to give you an idea of a direction to go in, you should make sure that your card is being detected properly
[07:32] <profanephobia> romgmz: ok so now you should be able to use it for storage
[07:33] <romgmz> but i cant see it
[07:33] <malocite> how do you backup your present kernel
[07:33] <zaxor0> I have a usb hard drive tat did mount before on ubuntu but now it doesnt, but it does on another computer, how can I fix this? trying a different port does not work.
[07:33] <umop-apisdn> raf256: open a browser, go to google.com, type in "ubuntu sound howto" and pick a link :)
[07:33] <Davy_Jones> i think i'm gonna uninstall totem.. it sucks anyways.. mplayer for the win
[07:33] <raf256> umop-apisdn: sound didnt worked. I supposed I need other hardware card. Which one?
[07:33] <profanephobia> davy_jones: VLC all the way : )
[07:33] <umop-apisdn> raf256: what kind of card do you have now?
[07:34] <zaxor0> oh i didnt see those responses
[07:34] <umop-apisdn> raf256: did you plug your speakers in?
[07:34] <romgmz> in home?
[07:34] <Davy_Jones> profanephobia: i prefer mplayer for video, xmms for sound
[07:34] <Davy_Jones> profanephobia: VLC is too GUI
[07:34] <profanephobia> lol
[07:34] <raf256> umop-apisdn: yes it was working on windows
[07:34] <Davy_Jones> lol
[07:34] <zaxor0> profanephobia, is it possible the device is locked out
[07:34] <WAKAMAN> Helloz
[07:34] <romgmz>  i just can see file system
[07:34] <raf256> umop-apisdn: dont remember what card
[07:34] <umop-apisdn> raf256: have you tried clicking on the little speaker icon towards the right side of the top panel?
[07:34] <raf256> which cheap card is bast for linux?
[07:34] <romgmz> and floppy drive
[07:34] <umop-apisdn> raf256: is your sound card onboard, or a separate card?
[07:35] <d4rkmonkey> Hey, I'm trying to copy my whole music directory onto an iPod (I'm just dumping it on how its organized because I run rockbox) and whenever it comes across a song with a "?" in it, it gives me an error. How can I get around this without stripping out all the question marks?
[07:35] <profanephobia> zaxor0: i have messed up securities on devices before but never had that cause it not to mount...unusable but it mounted
[07:35] <johnny5> ok, the white screen goes away on it's own if i leave it long enough, but nothing looks that great
[07:35] <umop-apisdn> d4rkmonkey: you can't. remove the quesiotn marks.
[07:35] <vvafmmartinds> ola
[07:35] <jetscreamer> zaxor0: you did see me tell you 666 won't let you cd to the dir right
[07:35] <d4rkmonkey> umop-apisdn, would rsync get around this? Why can't it copy files with question marks in it?
[07:35] <linux_user400354> is it possible to see who the recipient is of a file encrypted with gpg but not have the secret key?
[07:35] <zaxor0> jetscreamer what should I do, it wont even mount
[07:36] <umop-apisdn> d4rkmonkey: because ? and * are wildcard indicators... they're illegal in file names.
[07:36] <d4rkmonkey> umop-apisdn,  o_O stupid sound-juicer just put ? in it.
[07:36] <facecoos> heyeverybody, what is the max load on a machine? 1?
[07:36] <jetscreamer> zaxor0: sudo mount -t auto /what /where ?
[07:36] <d4rkmonkey> !rsync
[07:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about rsync - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:36] <d4rkmonkey> o_O
[07:37] <d4rkmonkey> guess I'll just look in man pages I'm wonderin what difference that would make
[07:37] <facecoos> nevermind
[07:37] <profanephobia> zaxor0: just to be sure will it mount on another comp
[07:37] <linux_user400354> is it possible to see who the recipient is of a file encrypted with gpg but not have the secret key?
[07:38] <Twofclubs> hi how do i obtain and install gparted?
[07:38] <zaxor0> profanephobia it does mount on another computer
[07:38] <royel> linux_user400354: your question barely makes sense
[07:38] <coopster> linux_user400354, no.
[07:38] <Davy_Jones> did you know this.. there is a 'dive into python' book and it's packaged in synaptic.. i wouldn't know it even existed
[07:38] <profanephobia> zaxor0: ok maybe try checking your fstab file and look for it
[07:38] <jetscreamer> zaxor0: what is the mount command you are using
[07:38] <romgmz> hd1 or sda?
[07:39] <AntonSmari> hey all...
[07:39] <s|k> is there a way to get information about when a file was created, maybe via ls or something?
[07:39] <d4rkmonkey> Hi!
[07:39] <jetscreamer> Twofclubs: apt-cache search parted
[07:39] <cqg> ola
[07:39] <zaxor0> profanephobia, how do i do that?
[07:39] <Twofclubs> is sudo get-apt install gparted the right command?
[07:39] <jetscreamer> Twofclubs: then install it
[07:39] <jetscreamer> sure
[07:39] <profanephobia> twoofclubs: sudo apt-get install gparted
[07:39] <romgmz> sorry i dont want to bother
[07:39] <zaxor0> jetscreamer, i am clicking the icona nd clicking mount
[07:39] <romgmz> but im lost
[07:39] <Twofclubs> thank you :)
[07:39] <Twofclubs> appreciate the help guys
[07:39] <profanephobia> welcome
[07:40] <jrib> s|k: no, ext3 doesn't store that information
[07:40] <AntonSmari> I did as you told (unplugged the ipod dock usb) and it still gave me grub error 21
[07:40] <raf256> umop-apisdn: on board afair.. ok will check more
[07:40] <s|k> jrib: ah :(
[07:40] <s|k> thanks
[07:40] <AntonSmari> might be the BIOS}
[07:40] <AntonSmari> ?
[07:40] <jrib> s|k: you can get access time, modification time, and change time though
[07:40] <profanephobia> romgmz: reboot just to be sure
[07:40] <bense> i feel silly, i selected my packages to intall in synaptic, but i don't know how to initiate the install?
[07:40] <bense> apply is greyed out
[07:40] <profanephobia> antonsmari: ok one sec well get this figured out
[07:40] <romgmz> ok
[07:41] <s|k> jrib: yeah I want the created time, I'm just trying to figure out when I created my irc log, so I can figure out how fast it grows (22mb since when I created it)
[07:41] <jetscreamer> zaxor0: i don't know how that automount stuff works. you could try it n an xterm perhaps. mount -t auto /dev/whatever /mnt perhaps
[07:41] <mzaza> http://pastebin.be/4137 I get these errors while trying to upgrade my application list
[07:41] <AntonSmari> think I should change boot managers or what else is possible to fix this ?
[07:41] <jetscreamer> zaxor0: you might check and see if the mount point is actually there
[07:41] <jetscreamer> under /media
[07:41] <royel> s|k: the log itself does not contain any date stamps?
[07:41] <s|k> oh.
[07:41] <profanephobia> antonsmari: i think we can fix this
[07:41] <GrooveStix> hey folks! where can I find libboost-date-time1.34.0 ???
[07:41] <jetscreamer> AntonSmari: examine /boot/grub/device.map perhaps
[07:41] <s|k> that's true, but it's sad that creation date is not stored
[07:42] <s|k> thanks royel
[07:42] <profanephobia> antonsmari: do you have a live cd
[07:42] <GrooveStix> it's a dependency for Deluge
[07:42] <mzaza> http://pastebin.be/4137 I get these errors while trying to upgrade my application list any ideas?
[07:42] <AntonSmari> im booting on the live cd at the moment
[07:42] <AntonSmari> using gaim there...
[07:42] <profanephobia> oh ok
[07:42] <jetscreamer> you'll probably have to wait a bit, GrooveStix ... that one was funny coming into repos
[07:42] <jetscreamer> but i forget
[07:42] <AntonSmari> device.map only lists (hd0)	/dev/sda
[07:43] <AntonSmari> which should be ok
[07:43] <jetscreamer> ah
[07:43] <GrooveStix> what's going on?
[07:43] <AntonSmari> only 1 sata disk plugged in at the moment :/
[07:43] <jetscreamer> AntonSmari: are you trying to do grub-install from a livecd to fix your hd?
[07:43] <profanephobia> antonsmari: lets just redo the mbr
[07:44] <profanephobia> antonsmari: do this  grub-install /dev/hda
[07:44] <Davy_Jones> why would one need the perl packages?
[07:44] <johnny5> i don't even know how to check if my video card is being detected?
[07:44] <jetscreamer> some perl is required
[07:44] <Davy_Jones> are they needed to compile stuff?
[07:44] <jetscreamer> not sure why i just know some is
[07:44] <profanephobia> davy_jones: if the app uses perl then it needs the libraries
[07:45] <Davy_Jones> ok, perl stays
[07:45] <CheshireViking> s|k, my #ubuntu file is about 4Mb since i started l logging about 4 weeks ago, it logs about 8 hrs a day, not sure if that helps
[07:45] <romgmz> nothing  i still cant see hdd
[07:45] <bommelom> how can I connect to a wpa2-psk wireless ap with ubuntu?
[07:45] <AntonSmari> root@ubuntu:~# grub-install /dev/hda
[07:45] <AntonSmari> Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.
[07:45] <AntonSmari> /dev/hda: Not found or not a block device.
[07:45] <GrooveStix> wasn't there a way to manually download libraries from the Ubuntu website ?
[07:45] <romgmz> sorry about my english
[07:45] <profanephobia> iss your hdd hda or hd0
[07:45] <romgmz> ups?
[07:46] <mzaza> http://pastebin.be/4137 I get these errors while trying to upgrade my application list any ideas?
[07:46] <romgmz> i dont know
[07:46] <AntonSmari> oops its sda sorry will try again
[07:46] <profanephobia> ok
[07:46] <superjedi_> I cant put anything in the file-system because it belongs to root.  How can i put in files
[07:46] <profanephobia> groovestix: most libraries you would need are in the repos
[07:46] <royel> superjedi_: use sudo
[07:46] <Davy_Jones> superjedi_: change owner
[07:46] <profanephobia> just sudo apt-get them
[07:47] <jrib> superjedi_: where do you want to put files?
[07:47] <johnny5> How can i check if my graphics card is being properly detected by ubuntu
[07:47] <superjedi_> It wont let me becuase it belongs to root.  But im the only user
[07:47] <umop-apisdn> raf256: onboard sound is usually ac97, these days... and should be auto-detected by ubuntu upon install.
[07:47] <GrooveStix> profanephobia: libboost-date-time1.34.0 is missing
[07:47] <umop-apisdn> raf256: i would suspect you have some sort of hardware issue.
[07:47] <profanephobia> superjedi: move them in terminal using su
[07:47] <superjedi_> I want to put the files in /usr/share
[07:47] <Enselic> !root | superjedi
[07:47] <ubotu> superjedi: do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[07:47] <stuart-> hm, wine won't let me run enverwinter nights, and also says i don't have open gl
[07:47] <stuart-> how'd i install opengl in ubuntu?
[07:48] <m1r> what card stuart- ?
[07:48] <ninix> hi, anyone know how solved this error (no 3d accel) --> ibGL error: XF86DRIQueryDirectRenderingCapable failed ........ (after the command LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose fglrxinfo)
[07:48] <stuart-> mlr, geforce2 mx400
[07:48] <jrib> superjedi_: why would you want to do that?  That's for the package manager to take care of
[07:48] <royel> stuart-: seems to me that NWN had a linux client, did you first check that option?
[07:48] <Anlar> ninix: DRI not enabled?
[07:48] <m1r> stuart- ; try google for envy
[07:48] <stuart-> royel, already own the windows version -_-
[07:49] <Injen> superjedi: do you have something in your /home folder? If you can't place anything in your home folder, you misconfigured something.
[07:49] <superjedi> I need to install a plugin
[07:49] <stuart-> mlr, kay thanks
[07:49] <visik7> hi, is there an application that change the mouse behaviour depending on which application window has the focus ?
[07:49] <jrib> superjedi: what plugin?
[07:49] <ninix> Anlar, im reading since 1 hour and all that i try don't enable it.
[07:49] <superjedi> for amsn
[07:49] <profanephobia> groovestix: try sudo apt-get install libboost-date-time1.33.1
[07:49] <m1r> ninix , try google envy
[07:49] <stuart-> mlr, do i still need envy if i already have nvidia drivers running
[07:49] <jrib> superjedi: use ~/.amsn/plugins  where ~ means /home/USERNAME
[07:50] <royel> stuart-: me too, but I was able to download the small linux client from the website.
[07:50] <ninix> m1r: all is installed
[07:50] <johnny5> come on guys. i'm new to ubunbtu and linux in general. i need to know if my graphics card is not being picked up properly.
[07:50] <osxdude|lap> I have nvidia-settings, but no settings are appearing. How do I fix this?
[07:50] <AntonSmari> root@ubuntu:~# grub-install /dev/hda
[07:50] <AntonSmari> /dev/hda: Not found or not a block device.
[07:50] <AntonSmari> root@ubuntu:~# grub-install /dev/sda
[07:50] <AntonSmari> Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device.
[07:50] <jrib> visik7: maybe imwheel depending on what you want exactly
[07:51] <AntonSmari> not working :(
[07:51] <Sembiance> I have took a drive that has no partitions and did:  "dd if=/dev/sde of=my.dmg"   how can I expose this as a device to other programs?  Is there some sort of way in linux to treat a file as a disk and have it mapped in /dev/???
[07:51] <m1r> stuart- posibly not good install if not runing, same for ninix

[07:52] <AntonSmari> any suggestions?
[07:52] <johnny5> Injen: Can't enable desktop effects and can't change my resolution to my screens proper one.
[07:52] <superjedi_> can I get it to open in the file explorer.  or if it can't how do i put the files in
[07:52] <johnny5> Injen: Also can't use restricted drivers to install the nvidia stuff
[07:52] <ianweller> i'm using ubuntu feisty and i'm not able to rip cds to mp3. i can play mp3s just fine, but soundjuicer won't rip them.
[07:52] <visik7> jrib: for example I've some extra buttons on my mouse that change my desktop workspace  but if  firefox has the focus should be usefull to use them as back / forward buttons
[07:53] <jrib> superjedi_: sure, press ctrl-l in nautilus (the file explorer for GNOME) and then enter:  ~/.amsn/plugins   .  Also, try to prefix your messages with the name of the person you are addressing
[07:53] <Sembiance> stefg: I tried that :)  hrm...
[07:53] <stuart-> mlr, means it's a good download if nvidia is already working?
[07:53] <jrib> visik7: yeah, imwheel does exactly that
[07:53] <profanephobia> antonsmari: wow today has sucked for hdd related problems
[07:53] <mzaza> http://pastebin.be/4137 I get these errors while trying to upgrade my application list any ideas?

[07:54] <stefg> Sembiance: you get a /dev/loop<n> entry, but usually you don't have to deal with that
[07:54] <romgmz> no hdd on my desktop
[07:54] <profanephobia> mzaza: delete those repos from your source list
[07:54] <Sembiance> stefg: well there isn't anything mountable, but I want to use truecrypt to access it's data

[08:10] <Some_Person> to get no password use "sudo passwd user -d"

[08:10] <bee2643> jrib, im not using enter as punctuation, im using enter to denote different commands.
[08:10] <web> hi. when i change the user in a terminal, the title of the terminal does not change. any ideas?
[08:10] <AntonSmari> yes that is what I have been told but I do not understand how it can not be detected
[08:11] <web> for example, when i change from user@box to root@box, the title of the terminal still shows user@box

[08:11] <NiceDay> sorry. my IRC-client changes my nick automaticaly
[08:11] <ubotu> NiceDay: You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu - it causes unrequired scrolling which is unfair on new users. The same goes for using noisy away messages : use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently - See also !Guidelines

[08:12] <profanephobia> antonsmari: i know it doesnt make much sense ...
[08:12] <AntonSmari> profanephobia: should I edit my BIOS or something, I have no idea what I should do, this also crashed my Vista install when I first tried to dual boot
[08:12] <malocite> does ubuntu use xfree86 or x.org?

[08:13] <NiceDay> Mea Culpa - I wasn't aware of all this. I won't bother you any more. I didn't hear any noise and didn't see any annoying scrolling. now using / quit instead of / away
[08:13] <Anlar> AntonSmari: enable legacy ide support in bios ?

[08:14] <mzanfardino> orbisvicis: mkinitcpio does not appeared to be installed and when I apt-cache search mkinit I see three packages: bootcd-mkinitramfs multipath-tools-initramfs yaird, however once installed I still do not have mkinitcpio.  I've also search google for ubuntu and mkinitcpio but haven't found much useful information.  Can you share a link with me to some resource?

[08:14] <Anlar> AntonSmari: it should force all your controllers to be seen as traditional pata ide... which might help grub. it doesn't have any performance or other real impact on your system

What video driver are you using by chance?  Also have you tried disabling your networking right before shutdown?  Like disable wireless by the network manager applet?  That might help.  I use the open source drivers and have no problem...

[08:21] <mzanfardino> orbisvicis: thank you for the link.  I've read though it (well, most of it) and have again search to find mkinitcpio.  I installed pacman from apt thinking I could use the pacman package manager but not surprising it installed pacman the video game :)

[08:21] <blackhat> Yes
[08:21] <blackhat> my 3 hds, hdb hdd hdc are working.
[08:21] <coastermaster> dxdt: I haven't installed any drivers (that I know of) I do have beryl installed (and working).....i'll try to disable networking before, i'll be back in a second
[08:21] <arso> One2abusE:  that would work too, wouldnt make a difference really, but i prefer to have all the operating systems on a single harddisk, and the other harddisks for data only
[08:21] <keito> lmosher: try starting the box without a keyboard and mouse.. you should get several long beeps
[08:22] <lmosher> keito, Unfortunately it's a laptop :(

[08:25] <One2abusE> arso: i was wondering about that.
[08:25] <arso> Jack_Sparrow:  why fat32, doesnt it limit file size?
[08:25] <orbisvicis> mzanfardino, not sure. the image just loads the required modules to read the filesystem. it should be as sparse as possible. unless you change kernels, then itll need to be rebuilt, i think. and mkinitcpio does not exist for ubuntu. use one of the other packages you mentioned
[08:25] <lmosher> jrib, ok, that might work. Now if only google had a "goggle sounds" Can you suggest a good soft beep?
[08:25] <One2abusE> arso: i'll have to do my homework on fs-driver
[08:25] <arso> One2abusE:  its really simple
[08:25] <Jack_Sparrow> arso: I dont have files over 4 gig
[08:25] <profanephobia> fat32 limits to like arouf 30GB
[08:25] <jrib> lmosher: sorry, I don't know any
[08:25] <profanephobia> and it limits max file size

[08:26] <arso> One2abusE:  second is ext3 , with ubuntu in it

[08:27] <jrib> nznz: did you read the page ubotu linked you to earlier?  You don't download binaries on ubuntu, you use the package manager
[08:27] <mzanfardino> orbisvicis: I know the source of the problem: I installed dkms (dynamic kernel module support) and used it to build and installa custom driver for my adaptec controller.  I still relatively new to linux and might not have the right picture of what's going on, but I think that when I build the driver I recreated the image to load the driver which is failing.  I want to back out of the image that has the driver built into it but
[08:27] <mzanfardino> have no clue how to do this...
[08:27] <Jack_Sparrow> blackhat: I dont see anything in there on your cdrom

[08:29] <orbisvicis> mzanfardino, im no expert on this. but i think you dont have, to rebuild the image, just blacklist the module for that specific driver
[08:29] <orbisvicis> !blacklist
[08:29] <ubotu> To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add  blacklist <modulename>  to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type  sudo update-initramfs -u

[08:32] <aarcane> Hi, when I turn the volume up or down using the hotkeys, and that little popup shows me what the volume level is...  what program is that ?  what other programs can do the same or similar ? (I'm most interrested in showing changes in volume, but making changes when a hotkey is pressed is also important.   not sure if it's two apps or one)
[08:32] <Some_Person> jrib: just tell me where the desktop and menu settings are
[08:32] <jrib> RainMaker: yeah, check the md5sum of the file you downloaded.  If that is ok, reburn your cd.  If it's not ok, download it again
[08:32] <orbisvicis> mzanfardino, luck ; )
[08:32] <dxdt> coastermaster: yeah, sorry I can't be more help, just keep in mind that I do have an inspiron 6k so it is possible.  Must be some software glitch
[08:32] <RainMaker> Ok
[08:32] <mwe> are all sd card readers supposed to be able to write as well?
[08:32] <jrib> Some_Person: ~/.gnome* ~/.gconf* ~/.config ~/.local  for the most part
[08:32] <RainMaker> Thanks alot
[08:32] <coastermaster> dxdt: i know it's possible, because it was working for me too, but then I did something to break it (but I don't know what)
[08:32] <Some_Person> jrib: thank you, i'll copy those folders
[08:33] <jrib> RainMaker: make sure you burn no higher than 4x
[08:33] <RainMaker> Ok...that may have been the problem
[08:33] <jrib> nznz: then why not pastebin the /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[08:33] <RainMaker> I didnt burn it however
[08:33] <jshriver> How do you set or view the system timezone? From reading has something to do with a TZ variable
[08:33] <bobgill> What is "ubuntu-desktop" package? I'm installing Compiz Fusion and need to remove current compiz to install
[08:34] <jrib> !ubuntu-desktop | bobgill
[08:34] <ubotu> bobgill: k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading.
[08:34] <RainMaker> I had to get someone else to due to current restrictions on my internet use.
[08:34] <dxdt> bobgill: meta package, don't worry it won't kill your system.  It just sounds really scary and stuffs
[08:34] <bobgill> ok
[08:34] <bobgill> thanks
[08:34] <zaxor0> is it possible i locked out my USB Hard drive by using the command "chmod 666 -v /media/Harddrive"
[08:35] <jrib> jshriver: tzconfig
[08:35] <jrib> jshriver: /etc/timezone stores the current one
[08:35] <Jack_Sparrow> which cd rippers will pull the names and title from an online db?
[08:36] <jrib> zaxor0: yeah, probably.  You want it to be executable
[08:36] <schwach> grip
[08:36] <umop-apisdn> Jack_Sparrow: lots of them
[08:36] <Jack_Sparrow> schwach: thanks
[08:36] <jrib> !permissions > zaxor0 (see the private message from ubotu)
[08:37] <erUSUL> Jack_Sparrow: sound juicer and grip both look up freedb afaik
[08:37] <zechs> Where can I find what iptables is blocking?
[08:37] <zechs> and then fixit.
[08:37] <Some_Person> jrib: that copied the menu settings, what about desktop settings?
[08:37] <umop-apisdn> !permissions
[08:37] <ubotu> The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[08:37] <howlingmadhowie> zechs: iptables -L
[08:37] <AntonSmari> jetscreamer: yes thats what im trying to do
[08:37] <umop-apisdn> ah
[08:37] <jrib> Some_Person: what desktop settings exactly?
[08:37] <Jack_Sparrow> erUSUL: Soundjuicer didnt pull up the names and didnt see an option to have it do so..  maybe just couldnt find that title?
[08:37] <zechs> Error
[08:38] <Kilroo> Quick question. If I want to run my existing (dual-boot) Windoze XP installation as a VM on occasion, am I correct in surmising that I am probably better off with VMWare than with QEMU?
[08:38] <jrib> zechs: sudo iptables -L    and it usually helps to tell us *what* the error was
[08:38] <profanephobia> yes
[08:38] <RainMaker> The login for Live CD still wont work Jrib
[08:38] <RainMaker> I typed "Ubuntu" and no password.
[08:38] <royel> RainMaker: all lower case
[08:39] <RainMaker> Tried that too
[08:39] <Thib_> hello. I just installed Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS on a server machine, and I want to install most of the sun-java5-* packages on it. I uncommented lines in /etc/apt/sources.list to include most of the possible repositories but I can only find sun-java6-* packages in Aptitude. Where can I find the sun-java5-* packages?
[08:39] <jrib> RainMaker: the live cd should just put you straight on the desktop, it's likely that the bad burn is causing your issues
[08:39] <erUSUL> Jack_Sparrow: probably i do not rip cd's often but iirc sound juicer does look up the tracks
[08:39] <RainMaker> I was afriad of that
[08:39] <Jack_Sparrow> erUSUL: thanks..
[08:39] <jrib> !multiverse > Thib_ (see the private message from ubotu)
[08:39] <nemo_work> I have an old machine (384MiB of memory, 5.5GiB of HD space) that I was planning to install ubuntu on
[08:39] <profanephobia> ive never had a live cd with a login
[08:39] <erUSUL> Jack_Sparrow: no problem
[08:39] <RainMaker> So, I need to re-burn it
[08:39] <RainMaker> 4x speed?
[08:39] <jrib> Thib_: oh you said 6.06, let me check...
[08:39] <nemo_work> however, while knoppix will run nicely on it (even in that tiny amount of memory - so long as I don't try anything fancy) ubuntu boot CD keeps kicking me to busybox
[08:39] <nemo_work> any ideas?
[08:40] <dxdt> nemo_work: xubuntu should be ok with those specs
[08:40] <zechs> Yeah. That doesn't make any sense to me. I just want to be able to use port 180 to run a chat server, but I keep getting unable to bind to port..
[08:40] <gigabytes> hello
[08:40] <nemo_work> dxdt: issue is more the booting. think xubuntu would have more luck?
[08:40] <royel> !alternate | nemo_work
[08:40] <gigabytes> is there an easy way to change the background image of the ubuntu splash screen?
[08:40] <ubotu> nemo_work: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal
[08:40] <jrib> Thib_: yeah, you need ubuntu multiverse.  You likely only have ubuntu-backports multiverse
[08:40] <dxdt> nemo_work: hmmm  maybe.  But, I don't have that much experience with it to say yes or no
[08:40] <bommelom> how do I connect my ubuntu laptop to a wireless ap using wpa2-psk encryption?
[08:40] <bommelom> how do I connect my ubuntu laptop to a wireless ap using wpa2-psk encryption?
[08:40] <AntonSmari> the live cd requires a login if you ctrl-alt + backspace it to reset the display drivers

[08:41] <Keith> Hi, Anyone familiar with installing JRE (Java Runtime Environment) Im stuck :)
[08:41] <Keith> !jre
[08:41] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about jre - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:41] <jrib> !java > Keith (see the private message from ubotu)
[08:41] <erUSUL> !java > Keith
[08:41] <nemo_work> dxdt: was hoping to avoid too much confusion. XFCE4 has improved a lot, but can still be a bit odd
[08:41] <bommelom> !wifi
[08:41] <Keith> ty sirs :)
[08:41] <mzanfardino> orbisvicis: it seems that though I removed the module, the newly built image still fails.  I might have been overlooking a crutial matter, that being that the image does attempt to boot but locks up when it finds /devfs is read only.  I read something in the link you sent about an issue LVM and RAID, which this happens to be, so I think I'm going to see if I need to do something special when building the image to enable LVM
[08:41] <mzanfardino> support.  Does that sound reasonable to you?
[08:41] <nemo_work> ubotu: ok. so there's a feisty variant of this alternate CD?
[08:41] <gigabytes> jrib: I followed that howto but I can't get the theme to work
[08:41] <jrib> nemo_work: ubotu is a bot
[08:41] <nemo_work> lol
[08:41] <zechs> Is there a GUI thing for iptables..
[08:41] <royel> lol
[08:41] <nemo_work> jrib: dang it. sorry, lot of noise in channel. I do know better :-p
[08:42] <howlingmadhowie> zechs is port 180 already in use in /etc/services?
[08:42] <royel> nemo_work: yes there is a feisty version
[08:42] <jrib> !firestarter > zechs (see the private message from ubotu)
[08:42] <erUSUL> zechs: firestarter
[08:42] <AntonSmari> anyone familiar with grub commands that can help me?
[08:42] <jrib> gigabytes: never made a custom one myself, so I can't really help
[08:42] <orbisvicis> zechs, guarddog
[08:42] <gigabytes> jrib: instead of my picture I get a strange default picture full of coloured rectangles and other things, that seems more like a debug picture
[08:42] <orbisvicis> zechs, more control than firestarter but sucks for nf
[08:42] <orbisvicis> *nfs
[08:42] <Twofclubs> hi i was wondering how i could check to see if my wireless card is working...is there a certain command i can use to check if i need any drivers...thank you
[08:42] <jrib> nemo_work: the answer to your question is "yes" though.  It's easier to find on releases.ubuntu.com
[08:43] <nemo_work> jrib: downloading now...
[08:43] <zechs> I just want to completly open up a port
[08:43] <erUSUL> Twofclubs: run iwconfig and see if you have some wireless device listed
[08:43] <nemo_work> jrib: ubuntu-7.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent
[08:43] <howlingmadhowie> zechs: i imagine the port is open. you just to attach a listener to it
[08:43] <jrib> zechs: all ports are open by default unless you closed them or installed something that closed them
[08:43] <Twofclubs> says no wireless extensions
[08:43] <zechs> :/
[08:43] <arso> does anyone here have a SONY MP3 player, or knows how i can transfer songs to one here ?
[08:44] <arso> i have an NW-A1000

[08:44] <ubotu> Twofclubs: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[08:44] <Twofclubs> erUSUL: here is what i get http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31447/
[08:45] <howlingmadhowie> zechs: as well as this, only servers running as root are allowed to use a port numer below 1024
[08:45] <tom_> Question?? Does anyone know the current Linux / OpenSource inside status of 1394 firewire and Pro audio gear interfaces such as M-audio or Edirol might be up and working?
[08:45] <zechs> I dunno. I try to run WCS ( a chat server for winmx) I had it working on port 80 a while ago, usualy giving me unable to bind to port errors (which I never seemed to get on windows.. but I couldn't get windows to stay on for more than 8 days...)
[08:45] <Jack_Sparrow> erUSUL: It figures the three discs the wife wanted me to rip anre not in the db... everything working fine
[08:46] <zechs> Oh.. Well, That's annoying.. that I have to use a large number
[08:46] <arso> no one :( ?
[08:46] <howlingmadhowie> zechs: yep :)
[08:46] <zechs> I've been using port 180 for ages
[08:46] <erUSUL> Twofclubs: eth1 is your wireless device
[08:47] <Twofclubs> erUSUL: so it is in working order?
[08:47] <zechs> and I have port 180 forwarded in my router, and port 80. Now I have to go add 1024 @.x
[08:47] <erUSUL> Twofclubs: the driver is loaded and you ot a interface to configure it is a good start ;) Try to configure it via System>Admin>Networking
[08:48] <Twofclubs> erUSUL: new to all this...thank you for your help sir
[08:48] <erUSUL> Twofclubs: no problem
[08:48] <nemo_work> hm. looks like the xubuntu folks made some significant customisations. you know, I think I'll try that one first
[08:49] <Twofclubs> erUSUL: this is a very noob question but how do i install tar.gz files...im trying to get Compiz on m computer
[08:49] <crackintosh> If I wanted to add a network drive to google desktop, what would the path to my SMB shares be in the file system?
[08:49] <nemo_work> anyone here happen to know what XFCE4 desktop they are using?
[08:49] <nemo_work> can't seem to find it on the site
[08:49] <Thib_> jrib: yes, you are right.
[08:49] <Keith> how do I add the multiverse repository?
[08:49] <erUSUL> Twofclubs: compiz comes with ubuntu feisty preinstaled

[08:50] <_wattazoum_> Hello
[08:50] <Keith> jrib: yes
[08:50] <nemo_work> kind of hoping XFCE 4.4.1
[08:50] <jrib> !multiverse > Keith (see the private message from ubotu)
[08:50] <Keith> jrib: but it says i need the multiverse
[08:50] <Thib_> jrib: I found the right instructions to add multiverse (by analogy with universe) and now Aptitude sees and installs sun-java5-* packages.
[08:50] <jrib> Thib_: great
[08:50] <Thib_> jrib: thank you very much for your help.
[08:51] <nemo_work> hum. looks like 4.4.0 - ah well. that can be updated
[08:51] <jrib> Keith: the Java page says at the top "For more information about the Multiverse repository, please visit the following guide: " and then links to the guide ubotu just sent you

[08:53] <kootaphor> Does anyone know of an easy guide like this - http://aplawrence.com/Linux/linux_bootstrap.html for feisty? I want to mess around with startup scripts, but exactly how Ubuntu handles runlevels and such is a bit unclear, and I'd rather just learn the whole thing than ask a specific question.
[08:53] <nznz> hi, i can find openssh in the add/remove applications menu. is this normal?
[08:53] <scoobydoo28139> i am running on live cd cause it won't boot in grafic mode now that i installed drivers

[08:58] <harshil102> i need
[08:58] <sagar> where can i find the patches which are applied to the ubuntu kernel?
[08:58] <kahrytan> Ubuntu needs more blind people
[08:58] <Keith> you guys are amazing, the people that help, just like to say :)
[08:58] <_aib> can you have init.d scripts in your home directory?
[08:58] <jrib> !kernel > sagar (see the private message from ubotu)
[08:59] <jrib> sagar: that links to the git tree where ubuntu keeps its kernel, I think that's what you want?
[08:59] <SirSherlock> kahrytan: what do u mean by more blind people
[08:59] <scoobydoo28139> jrib: do you know how to restore xorg?
[08:59] <harshil102> i need help with my display setup
[08:59] <jrib> scoobydoo28139: I don't know what that means
[08:59] <kahrytan> SirSherlock: I mean, It needs better support for screen readers
[09:00] <SirSherlock> i agree my sister is blind, and ive been wanting to show her linux
[09:00] <scoobydoo28139> jrib: i can't start now cause i downloaded new drivers for my video card. So i am on live cd
[09:00] <SirSherlock> kahrytan: do u have any experience with screen readers, any suggestions?
[09:00] <kahrytan> SirSherlock: and the live cd could have screen reader on it so blind people can install ubuntu
[09:00] <sagar> jrib: oh cool i think that's it...thanks!
[09:00] <Ind[y] > How do I check through apt-get which version of a package I have installed?

[09:04] <lmosher> Can someone remind me: What's the command to enter on the grub startup line to make it take a really long time but save bootup information so subsequent boots are faster?
[09:04] <osxdude|lap> okay I have done every thing I can to make this work, but for some reason I cannot get a (valid) output to my TV. I trying to use the 2 X screens method...what am I doing wrong?
[09:05] <Flodo> Time for me to disconnect my pda and go home from work.
[09:05] <emile> everytime i reboot my fstab mounted usbdisk fails on fsck2 (superblock can not be read) if i manually e2fsck -b 32768 /dev/sda1 i have no problems, any clues what can be wrong?
[09:05] <nznz> ok, i think i update something, there are a bit more entries in the add/remove
[09:05] <nznz> but still no openssh
[09:05] <kahrytan> Is it just me but does http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=61891&forumpage=1 look beautiful?
[09:05] <emile> everytime i reboot my fstab mounted usbdisk fails on fsck2 (superblock can not be read) if i manually e2fsck -b 32768 /dev/sda1 i have no problems, any clues what can be wrong? <- this is on dapper server lts btw
[09:05] <hendrik> nobody using dualview here?
[09:06] <nemo_work> lmosher: you mean fcache?
[09:06] <mzanfardino> grub question: what is the command to auto-generate menu.lst?
[09:06] <nemo_work> lmosher: if so, is that thing really stable?
[09:07] <nznz> why is it so hard to install openssh :(
[09:07] <syntux> nznz,  what are you trying to do ?
[09:07] <kuitang> it's not... what difficulties do you have?
[09:07] <mzanfardino> nznz: I just apt-get openssh-server and it works brilliantly
[09:07] <nemo_work> lmosher: from description, sure sounds like it :)
[09:07] <lmosher> nemo_work, No, the directions to initiate involve hitting 'e' in grub and adding something to the kernel line. I'm just trying to remember what it was.
[09:07] <nemo_work> lmosher: ... which would be a kernel parameter
[09:07] <nznz> it get an error doing apt-get and it doesnt show up in add/remove programs
[09:07] <chrisellis> anyone ever heard of an ATI RADEON X100
[09:07] <nemo_work> lmosher: ... which could easily be the fcache param
[09:07] <ninix> is fglrx support direct rendering with Xinerama?
[09:08] <syntux> nznz, just 'sudo aptitude install openssh-server' and you will get it up and running :d
[09:08] <hendrik> ninix: no.
[09:08] <lmosher> nemo_work, I'm doubtful... it was a few months since I did it, but that doesn't sound familiar.
[09:08] <nemo_work> lmosher: well, fcache parameters.
[09:08] <nemo_work> aight
[09:08] <kuitang> If all else fails you can manually d/l package and dpkg -i
[09:08] <nznz> omg thanks syntux
[09:09] <nemo_work> lmosher: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_FCache (using gentoo personally, but pretty much same thing) - so not that
[09:09] <ninix> hendrik:  :( ....... i hate ati.
[09:09] <syntux> nznz,  you welcome :-)
[09:09] <lmosher> nemo_work, you just added 1 word. Basically boot records everything it's doing so in the future it will load it faster... I last ran this 3 or so kernel updates ago, so my system boots slower..
[09:09] <hendrik> ninix: me too :*(
[09:09] <mhterres_> hi guys
[09:09] <bwisdom_> Hello folks, maybe I can get some help. On X-Chat, I cannot dl anything
[09:09] <mhterres_> anybody knows where can I find a repository that have a clamav 0.91 version for Dapper ?
[09:09] <hendrik> ninix: i tried with mergedfb.. no solution :/
[09:09] <syntux> bwisdom_, you might have better chance with #xChat
[09:09] <lmosher> nemo_work, no it wasn't fcache then, I didn't add a partitino or patch my kernel.
[09:10] <nemo_work> hm. haven't heard of any other similar project
[09:10] <ninix> hendrik:  the only way to have 2 screen and good OPENGL performe is to use DualDesktop and not DualView ?
[09:10] <bwisdom_> syntux: I just came from there and they are all either idle or dont want to answer
[09:10] <lmosher> nemo_work, profile. That's what I'm missing.
[09:10] <nemo_work> lmosher: oh? huh.
[09:10] <hendrik> ninix: maybe but i would like to use dualview...
[09:11] <syntux> bwisdom_, ok, maybe we can start with tell me what do you have in Preferences -> File transfer.
[09:11] <nemo_work> lmosher: that speeds up boot... how?
[09:11] <lmosher> nemo_work, Yeah, you add "profile" to your kernel line, your system will take like 5 minutes to boot, but uses this profile for subsequent boots to load things faster.
[09:11] <nemo_work> lmosher: didn't know that was used for anything but kernel debugging
[09:12] <bwisdom_> Only thing I have set are where I dl to, where completed files go, and my ip. I set my ip because i am on campus
[09:12] <nemo_work> lmosher: how 'sactly do you see it speeding boot?
[09:12] <bwisdom_> syntux: Only thing I have set are where I dl to, where completed files go, and my ip. I set my ip because i am on campus
[09:12] <BLZiN> Hi people im after some (n00bish) help with my ubuntu 6.06 server plz
[09:12] <bwisdom_> syntux: everything else is unchecked
[09:12] <nemo_work> lmosher: sorry, don't see profile working the way you describe at all,
[09:13] <kahrytan> BLZiN: First, why you using Dapper?
[09:13] <Gizmo_the_Great> hi. Anyone know why, when I run gparted in Feisty Fawn it just says 'scanning disks' for ages and never displays disk drives? I have run using sudo gparted.
[09:13] <nemo_work> lmosher: googling, only mentions it being used to toggle /proc/profile for performance analysis
[09:13] <syntux> bwisdom_, it might be campus firewall or something but my only try would be to check download directory permission
[09:13] <PriceChild> kahrytan, dapper is stable and supported longer than feisty... its fine.
[09:13] <BLZiN> because thats all my server company gives me option to install with
[09:13] <mhterres_> kahrytan, maybe cause it is a LTS version
[09:13] <lmosher> nemo_work, Hrm ok, perhaps the site I was using was rong :)
[09:13] <syntux> dapper is just lovely.
[09:13] <lmosher> wrong
[09:13] <PriceChild> BLZiN, what's the questino? :)
[09:13] <nemo_work> lmosher: fcache is thoe only one I'm aware of, and it isn't automagic 'nor necessarily safe
[09:13] <kahrytan> PriceChild: I know that
[09:13] <hendrik> ninix: i dont know a solution.. if you found one.. tell me :)
[09:13] <kahrytan> PriceChild: but using Dapper just for LTS isnt a very good one
[09:14] <kahrytan> isnta  good reason
[09:14] <BLZiN> Pricechild - ok im connected with putty i had to redo the source list and change the language which i did fine, i want to no what i need to do to enable a remote desktop connection plz
[09:14] <PriceChild> kahrytan, for servers it definitely is.
[09:14] <Twofclubs> Hi everyone, i'd really like to get m Compiz to work, i just set up feisty on my laptop, but i am not sure how to do this
[09:14] <PriceChild> BLZiN, but it is a server....?
[09:14] <BLZiN> yes
[09:14] <Gizmo_the_Great> can anyone suggest a GUI disk partitioner for Feisty Fawn, other than GParted?
[09:14] <BLZiN> no sorry
[09:14] <BLZiN> desktop
[09:14] <bwisdom_> syntux: Oh, I never realized that. The dir I had my completed files go to isnt writable. Hmm, also, how do you connect to more than one server/channel?
[09:14] <PriceChild> BLZiN, right ok... its a desktop install on a remote server?
[09:14] <kahrytan> PriceChild: Wouldn't more updated version using more updated software be a better idea?
[09:15] <BLZiN> Pricechild - Yes
[09:15] <PriceChild> kahrytan, no
[09:15] <PriceChild> kahrytan, higher versino number != best
[09:15] <kahrytan> PriceChild: I disagree
[09:15] <PriceChild> kahrytan, lets go to -offtopic please
[09:15] <syntux> bwisdom_, click on xchat -> new -> server tab or simply just CTRL-T then type /server servername
[09:15] <syntux> bwisdom_, as for channels just /join #Channel_name.
[09:16] <bwisdom_> syntux: ok thanks. lets see how this works
[09:17] <PriceChild> BLZiN, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RemoteAccess this might be of use to you :)
[09:17] <syntux> bwisdom_, sure.
[09:17] <BLZiN> TY :D
[09:17] <PriceChild> BLZiN, ah wait no....
[09:17] <BLZiN> oo
[09:17] <PriceChild> BLZiN, doesn't explain how to enable without gui
[09:17] <BLZiN> meaning doesnt explain how to with putty
[09:17] <Twofclubs> when i go to system>preferences>desktop effects i get the message The Composite extension is not available? what is that?
[09:18] <PriceChild> BLZiN, gimme a few mins and i'll find a guide :)
[09:18] <BLZiN> np
[09:18] <PriceChild> BLZiN, why do you want gui access on a server anyway btw?
[09:18] <kuitang> BLZiN: it's a good idea just to learn the command line if you're running a server
[09:18] <BLZiN> because im useless at using putty
[09:18] <BLZiN> i feel comfortable with remote access
[09:19] <nemo_work> NXCleint!
[09:19] <nemo_work> nxclient
[09:19] <PriceChild> BLZiN, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=122402
[09:19] <BLZiN> ypu i have nx
[09:19] <PriceChild> BLZiN, Hmmmm ok :)
[09:19] <BLZiN> :)
[09:19] <nemo_work> PriceChild: we have gui access on all our servers. there really are times it is handy
[09:19] <PriceChild> BLZiN, but the gui will increase overhead
[09:19] <nemo_work> PriceChild: and if you have the disc space, no reason not to use nxclient
[09:19] <PriceChild> nemo_work, no doubt :)
[09:19] <PriceChild> nemo_work, maybe you could tell BLZiN the best way to go about it then? As I've never done this myself.
[09:20] <kuitang> nemo_work: you're not referring to Windows server, are you?
[09:20] <nemo_work> PriceChild: mm. only done it on Fedora Core and Gentoo.
[09:20] <nemo_work> but you pretty much just install nxserver
[09:20] <nemo_work> nxclient tunnels over ssh and tries to run nxserver
[09:20] <PriceChild> nemo_work, gentoo servers..... rather you than me :)
[09:20] <nemo_work> requires no fancy config until you're server paranoid

[09:20] <h4ck3r> Hey guys, I have a problem with my laptops X
[09:20] <Spee_Der> Using Feisty Fawn 7.04 and CT4780 sound blaster, no sound. Any tips or suggestions please ?
[09:20] <BLZiN> ok didnt think of that lemme google it
[09:20] <PriceChild> ok i'll try and find an nxserver guide then
[09:20] <BLZiN> yeah me 2

[09:20] <PriceChild> BLZiN, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX
[09:20] <h4ck3r> I am typing out my problem just a sec lol
[09:21] <Gambit123456789> anyone here willing to gimmie a hand with dual booting please ?
[09:21] <stefg> !sound
[09:21] <ubotu> If 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/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[09:21] <Keith> so i installed the sun-java6-plugin package, and all seemed to go ok, but firefox still saying i need JRE, any ideas?
[09:21] <BLZiN> dam ur fast
[09:21] <nemo_work> PriceChild: gentoo is just as safe on the server as any other distro. if you feel the upgrade cycle is too breakneck, there are simple things you can do
[09:21] <PriceChild> nemo_work, "safe" yes.... but maintaining it sounds scary :)
[09:21] <genii> Bah, lmosher left. I found his grub tweak here: http://designedfor.wordpress.com/2007/05/28/1-tip-to-boot-faster/
[09:21] <Spee_Der> stefg, thanks.
[09:21] <nemo_work> PriceChild: http://m8y.org/gentoosync.txt <- and I did this on one server to really restrict what happens in an update :)
[09:22] <nemo_work> PriceChild: well, actually 1 server and 1 desktop (my laptop with only 96MiB of memory and a 4GiB HD)
[09:22] <nemo_work> PriceChild: the fancy config, btw, for the paranoid, is to issue a new cert for nxserver
[09:22] <raf256> why ubuntu package manager sucks big time?
[09:22] <nemo_work> PriceChild: that way, not any nxclient can connect to it
[09:23] <sayers> Does quad-core work fine on Ubuntu?
[09:23] <PriceChild> sounds good...
[09:23] <nemo_work> PriceChild: of course, the server already has password restrictions anyway.
[09:23] <m1r> why raf256 ?
[09:23] <PriceChild> sayers, yes
[09:23] <BLZiN> ok that first command Pricechild
[09:23] <BLZiN> gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:23] <BLZiN> i get this error

I have read that upgrading ubuntu will fix it but in feisty faun my wireless card doesn't work, is there a way to upgrade e
[09:23] <h4ck3r> verything but my networking?
[09:23] <raf256> stefg: it should just work
[09:23] <nemo_work> ok, does #ubuntu *really* need two URL logging bots? :)
[09:24] <genii> sayers: You may want to put as kernel option if it doesn't load right the first time "notsc"
[09:24] <PriceChild> BLZiN, use "sudo nano" instead of "gksudo gedit"
[09:24] <BLZiN> kk
[09:24] <stefg> raf256: that's what it does, although it's not pebkac safe
[09:24] <PriceChild> nemo_work, one logs everything, the other only logs during bans.
[09:24] <nemo_work> huh
[09:24] <h4ck3r> Anyone any ideas?
[09:24] <nemo_work> PriceChild: 'cause there were two hits to my server after I linked to that text file I made
[09:24] <Gambit123456789> can someone help a linux noob out here? :)
[09:24] <kazim59> i want to install rtsp server on my fiesty.. .how do I do that?
[09:24] <nemo_work> PriceChild: "IrssiUrlLog/0.2" and "Python-urllib/2.4"
[09:24] <zials> thats what the channel is for
[09:25] <BLZiN> Pricechild - Am i correct that it wants me to rewrite the source list?
[09:25] <PriceChild> BLZiN, not rewrite... just add new repositories
[09:25] <profanephobia> gambit what do you need
[09:25] <BLZiN> Pricechild - sorry for dumb questions so i just add them two at the top
[09:25] <h4ck3r> Is it possible to upgrade from 6.10 to 7.04 but not upgrade the networking packages because 7.04 breaks the support for my wireless card while it works in 6.10
[09:25] <PriceChild> BLZiN, sounds good
[09:25] <BLZiN> kk
[09:25] <PriceChild> h4ck3r, what card?
[09:26] <Gambit123456789> I'm after installing Ubuntu on a second hard drive, and am dual booting between that and windows, but when i try to launch windows on start up it gets caught in the "starting up" cycle and nothing happens....any ideas? :(
[09:26] <h4ck3r> pricechild netgear ma521 I believe my laptop is up stairs though so I will need to go check it

[09:27] <PriceChild> profanephobia, that won't help
[09:27] <nemo_work> Keith: huh. that's odd. ubuntu doesn't symlink the mozilla plugin from the java install to your mozilla plugins dir? how odd
[09:27] <spy80us> thanks
[09:27] <Gambit123456789> i can do that from the ubuntu cd, correct?

[09:28] <Keith> nemo_work: do i need to do that manually?
[09:28] <profanephobia> exactly where does it stop and what does it say
[09:28] <nemo_work> Keith: seems unlikely, but I'm not that ubuntu savvy - maybe they use a separate package
[09:28] <h4ck3r> PriceChild it is a great card, although I got it a few years ago. It gets good reception and was possible to get working with ndiswrapper in the early ubuntu's

[09:28] <h4ck3r> PriceChild I have been unable to do that in feisty
[09:29] <Konsole> xserver-xgl
[09:29] <h4ck3r> PriceChild but it works out of the box in 6.10
[09:29] <Gambit123456789> do you know what will help, PriceChild?
[09:29] <nemo_work> Keith: you know where to find it right?
[09:29] <Keith> nemo_work: no idea :)
[09:29] <Konsole> its been doing it on almost everything i install
[09:29] <iShock> stefg: That don't halp
[09:29] <Konsole> itll give me that error
[09:29] <stefg> iShock: it's nothing but a gnome them
[09:29] <nemo_work> Keith: you know where your firefox plugins dir is?
[09:29] <PriceChild> Gambit123456789, I would ask for help in ##windows
[09:30] <Gambit123456789> kk
[09:30] <profanephobia> gambit123456789: where does it stop and what does it say
[09:30] <Keith> nemo_work: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins?
[09:30] <genii> Konsole: Are you using ca.archive.ubuntu.com ? It was/may still be overloaded today
[09:30] <h4ck3r> PriceChild in feisty it basically can't see the card at all even with lshw it just shows as some pci card
[09:30] <Jack_Sparrow> Konsole: HAve you modified your sources or run any scripts like automatix or envy?
[09:30] <Going4Linux> help! how can i installe Internet Explorer 7 in ubuntu?
[09:30] <Keith> nemo_work: im a linux noob :)
[09:30] <Konsole> both
[09:30] <Konsole> automatix and envy both
[09:30] <PriceChild> h4ck3r, I don't know sorry, I've never had any experience with it.
[09:30] <nemo_work> Keith: that's probably right. there'd be the flash plugin or whatever. sometimes symlinks happen too, for organisational purposes due to the many gecko browsers
[09:30] <Jack_Sparrow> !automatix
[09:30] <ubotu> Automatix2 is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[09:30] <Jack_Sparrow> !envy
[09:30] <ubotu> envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[09:30] <nemo_work> Keith: for example, some distros use /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins as a generic place - anyway, wherever your other plugins are
[09:31] <nemo_work> Keith:cd /to/your/plugin/dir;ln -s /opt/sun-jdk-1.6.0/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so .
[09:31] <Keith> nemo_work: im not sure where they are tbh
[09:31] <Gambit123456789> You know when Grub starts up and you chose Ubuntu or another OS? The screen goes black and says "Starting Up..." for  a few seconds before Ubuntu loads? Well it does that for Windows but doesn't get beyond that point
[09:31] <h4ck3r> pricechild that is ok thanks for looking at my problem though
[09:31] <nemo_work> Keith: that's the generic one - but there might be an ubuntu package as mentioned
[09:31] <stenudd> Do Someone run SDL in here? cuz the function TTF_RenderText_Solid cant take Spaces in the second argument, but i shoud do it
[09:31] <stenudd> Do Someone run SDL in here? cuz the function TTF_RenderText_Solid cant take Spaces in the second argument, but i shoud do it
[09:31] <nemo_work> Keith: and of course the path to your JRE might be different than mine ;)
[09:31] <stenudd> If i put a space in there it wont show anything at all
[09:31] <profanephobia> gambit123465789: what version of windows
[09:31] <Keith> nemo_work: lol im getting a headache :)
[09:31] <h4ck3r> quit

[09:31] <BLZiN> Pricechild - i added a user on the NXserver but when i try setting a password it states....

[09:31] <kuitang> Gambit: Congratulations
[09:32] <Keith> nemo_work: so i need my mozilla plugin dir?
[09:32] <BLZiN> Pricechild - NX> 500 Error: Function --<passwordhere> not implemented yet.
[09:32] <Keith> nemo_work: how can you dig up an ubuntu machine ;)
[09:32] <nemo_work> Keith: I'd search synaptic first, personally, to see  if there was a mozilla java plugin if I was you ;)
[09:32] <Konsole> jack read you private thing
[09:32] <nemo_work> Keith: found one.
[09:32] <Gambit123456789> Windows Vista
[09:32] <b4l74z4r> hw much ram can ubuntu feisty handle?
[09:32] <PriceChild> BLZiN, could you copy/paste me the command the wiki tells you to use... and then the command yuo are using
[09:33] <PriceChild> b4l74z4r, 4Gb at 32bit... a lot more at 64bit
[09:33] <BLZiN> sudo nxserver --adduser <username>
[09:33] <b4l74z4r> ok
[09:33] <pder> has anyone here used ubuntu for an arcade machine?  i want to build a mame cabinet and install ubuntu on the machine
[09:33] <nemo_work> Keith: yes, cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
[09:33] <BLZiN> sudo nxserver --passwd <username>
[09:33] <profanephobia> Gambit123465789: ok thought so windows vista uses its own bootloader thats very fragile (very fragile)
[09:33] <Konsole> Jack_sparrow: read you private messages
[09:33] <BLZiN> thats where it fails
[09:33] <Keith> nemo_work: ok im there
[09:33] <kahrytan> b4l74z4r: and Ubuntu runs nice on 512mb
[09:33] <nemo_work> Keith: ok. on this one, it looks like the java plugin was DEFINITELY installed by a package - but you can do it yourself if you want, I suppose
[09:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Konsole: I dont see any  and I am regg'd
[09:33] <Going4Linux> help! how can i installe Internet Explorer 7 in ubuntu?
[09:34] <b4l74z4r> what are the advantages of 64 bit vs 32?
[09:34] <nemo_work> Keith: otherwise, gimme a sec and I'll query the package system for what package it used
[09:34] <kuitang> Going4Linux: You don't
[09:34] <kahrytan> Going4Linux: appdb.winehq.com
[09:34] <BLZiN> Pricechild - did u get that bit ?
[09:34] <Konsole> Jack_Sparrow: on the side of xchat by #ubuntu
[09:34] <Konsole> lol
[09:34] <Keith> nemo_work: *over my head* lol
[09:34] <Gambit123456789> can i convo you profanephobia?
[09:34] <PriceChild> b4l74z4r, better performance with applications written for 64bit (not many.... ssh server, databases, not much else)
[09:34] <PriceChild> BLZiN, one second
[09:34] <kuitang> Going4Linux: Well, Wine *might* work; it'll work for ie 6 but you'll probably be in for a painful and disappoiting experience
[09:34] <BLZiN> k
[09:34] <profanephobia> yeah thats fine
[09:35] <b4l74z4r> would there be a performance penalty running 32bit apps on 64bit ubuntu?
[09:35] <profanephobia> going4linux: try this http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/news/41
[09:35] <nemo_work> Keith: using an ubuntu machine I maintain (kinda) for my mom :)  is 5000km away :)
[09:35] <Jack_Sparrow> Konsole: First, dont pm without asking second, I am not in xchat
[09:35] <Konsole> Jack_Sparrow: oh.. sorry about that then
[09:35] <PriceChild> BLZiN, You are changing those commands right? Not just pasting them in as it says
[09:35] <Keith> nemo_work: lol
[09:35] <profanephobia> Gambit123456789: sure thats fine but im afraid the only way i have been able to fix the vista bootloader was to reinstall vista
[09:36] <PriceChild> BLZiN, change <username> to something like bob
[09:36] <BLZiN> Pricechild - i think i see my error
[09:36] <PriceChild> BLZiN, and make sure it doesn't ask for something else before the next command
[09:36] <Keith> nemo_work: I take it your mum didnt install JRE :)
[09:36] <Konsole> Jack_Sparrow: ive never had any problems with envy or automatix it just started doing this like a week ago
[09:36] <Going4Linux> kuitang: man ;( ie7 is so much better then buggy firefox that always crashes on random sites
[09:36] <profanephobia> Gambit123456789:damn them for getting rid of DOS
[09:36] <profanephobia> DOS shell anyways
[09:36] <BLZiN> Pricechild - where it sais sudo nxserver --passwd <username> im actually putting a password instead of passwd
[09:36] <Gambit123456789> so basically you can't dual boot vista and linux??
[09:36] <profanephobia> you can
[09:36] <kuitang> Going4Linux: try Opera; I find it a lot better than ffox
[09:36] <profanephobia> i do
[09:36] <Jack_Sparrow> Konsole: YEp, sounds about right, you dont usually see the damage those do right away..
[09:36] <Keith> yes you can
[09:36] <PriceChild> BLZiN, ah yes don't change that ;)
[09:36] <BLZiN> Pricechild - gotcha
[09:37] <Keith> why anyone would want to boot vista is another question :)
[09:37] <Gambit123456789> how>
[09:37] <profanephobia> lol
[09:37] <nemo_work> Keith: she probably did actually
[09:37] <nemo_work> Keith: I don't remember installing it.  She probably found it in package manager
[09:37] <Keith> nemo_work: *bows down* to your mum lol
[09:37] <profanephobia> Gambit123465789: do you have two separate hdds
[09:37] <Gambit123456789> i do
[09:37] <Konsole> Jack_Sparrow: so..how exactly do i fix the problem it says... that dpkg is returning the error
[09:37] <profanephobia> Gambit123456789: is vista on your primary hdd
[09:38] <Gambit123456789> yup
[09:38] <Jack_Sparrow> Konsole: If you read what the bot said... reinstall and dnot use those scripts
[09:38] <Going4Linux> kuitang: i dont like opera its kinda ugly and dont got any proper adblocking stuff except their hals assed ini that makes you restart opera to make sucky changes..
[09:38] <Keith> nemo_work: Can I not find it in package manager? whatever that is, it sounds a lot more easy :)
[09:38] <Konsole> Jack_Sparrow: what scripts it was the same commands to install them as i always use which is also provided in their websites
[09:39] <Jack_Sparrow> !easysource > Konsole
[09:39] <Jack_Sparrow> Konsole: nOT TRUE
[09:39] <profanephobia> Gambit123456789: do you have the vista disk?
[09:39] <kuitang> Going4Linux: really?  The newer versions have Content Blocker; granted not quite as good as adblock but it's speed makes up for it
[09:39] <nemo_work> Keith: I did suggest that. poke around. should be there
[09:39] <Gambit123456789> yup i do
[09:39] <Gambit123456789> you not getting my private msgs?
[09:39] <BLZiN> Pricechild - ok so now i have NXSERVER installed on ubuntu box with user and password, from my home pc (win os) i tryed connecting with NXCLIENT and it wont connect (very annoying) been tryin this for over 2hrs any ideas plz  ?
[09:40] <kahrytan> Going4Linux: Use Firefox then
[09:40] <nemo_work> hey folks. reason I can't answer keith immediately is I can't figure out the debian/ubuntu command to learn what package a file belongs to
[09:40] <Gambit123456789> cuz i'm getting yours...
[09:40] <Konsole> Jack_Sparrow: so what exactly do i do just uninstall auto and envy?
[09:40] <Going4Linux> kahrytan: i dont want to, it always crashes
[09:40] <nemo_work> in this case, /usr/lib/j2se/1.4/jre/plugin/i386/mozilla/libjavaplugin_oji.so
[09:40] <kahrytan> Going4Linux: no it doesnt
[09:40] <nickrud> nemo_work, dpkg -S /path/to/file
[09:40] <nemo_work> thanks
[09:40] <PriceChild> BLZiN, what error?
[09:40] <profanephobia> gabmit123456789: you have to be registered to send pm.. boot to the vista disk and select repair then tell it to repair the boot section... there should be a button
[09:40] <BLZiN> Pricechild - session timed out
[09:40] <Jack_Sparrow> Konsole: Good luck.. I can't / won't  help once you run those.  The uninstall.. dosent do everything you would hope
[09:40] <nemo_work> ah. that's just j2re. hm
[09:41] <kahrytan> Going4Linux: You need help fixing firefox
[09:41] <Gambit123456789> ok, i'll try that now and see if that works...tnx man :)
[09:41] <nickrud> nemo_work, if the file isn't installed, either packages.ubuntu.com or apt-file
[09:41] <Going4Linux> kahrytan: it crashes on sites that plays videos that is not flash-ed
[09:41] <BLZiN> Pricechild - $AGENT_STARTUP_TIMEOUT; exit 1 )

[09:41] <profanephobia> Gambit123456789: welcome
[09:41] <nemo_work> nickrud: well, this is puzzling, she clearly used some package to create the symlink
[09:41] <kahrytan> !spam | BLZiN:
[09:41] <ubotu> BLZiN:: Unsure how you should behave on this channel? See !AskTheBot, !CoC, !Guidelines, !Offtopic, !Language, !Attitude, !Repeat, !Enter, !Paste, !NickSpam - and most importantly, use common sense :-)
[09:41] <PriceChild> BLZiN, oh so the server doesnt start up?
[09:41] <BLZiN> No not spam thats my error
[09:41] <PriceChild> BLZiN, not that the client can't connect?
[09:41] <nemo_work> nickrud: I sure wouldn't link /usr/lib/j2se/1.4/jre/plugin/i386/mozilla/libjavaplugin_oji.so to /etc/alternatives/libjavaplugin_oji.so
[09:41] <nickrud> nemo_work, if it's java from the repos, sudo update-alternatives --config java sets the links
[09:41] <Keith> nemo_work: I just checked my system preferences, and I have sun java 6 control panel and sun java 6 policy tool, so it looks like it definately installed ok? I guess i just need an Sym link to it for firefox?
[09:42] <profanephobia> Going4Linux: what are you trying to view that you need IE 7 for.. there may be a workaround
[09:42] <nemo_work> nickrud: sweeet
[09:42] <nickrud> nemo_work, I would :)
[09:42] <PriceChild> BLZiN, i think kahrytan was referring to using a pastebin.
[09:42] <BLZiN> Pricechild - through putty the server is running fine its the client wont connect
[09:42] <BLZiN> my bad :(
[09:42] <nemo_work> Keith: heya. listen to nickcrud here, he knows his stuff
[09:42] <nemo_work> nickrud: but why'd Keith's links not get preinstalled?
[09:42] <nemo_work> nickrud: why make a user do that?
[09:42] <nemo_work> nickrud: oh. wait. does that set the /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins symlink?
[09:42] <nickrud> nemo_work, because you can have more than one java installed, who's to say which one he wants active at any one time?
[09:42] <Going4Linux> profanephobia: not crash when i enter sites at random stuff? zoom function to zoom up pages, working adblock like ie7pro
[09:43] <PriceChild> BLZiN, so you're trying to connect on port 22?
[09:43] <nemo_work> nickrud: no no - that part makes sense ;)  although gentoo approaches the issue a bit differently
[09:43] <nickrud> nemo_work, I believe so, yes. I've never set those specifically
[09:43] <Keith> nickrud: im on a fresh install of ubuntu, and only installed sun-java6-plugin
[09:43] <Konsole> how do i switch my sources.list with a backup says i dont have the permission
[09:43] <BLZiN> Pricechild - Yes
[09:43] <Anlar> Going4Linux: you ever noticed how suspicious ie7pro is? there's something really bad going on with that add-on, must be
[09:43] <nemo_work> Keith: welp, what he said then. update-alternatives and all that
[09:43] <nemo_work> Keith: otherwise, symlink!
[09:43] <ge2x> !compiz-fusion
[09:43] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about compiz-fusion - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:43] <PriceChild> BLZiN, and I guess normal ssh is working as you're using putty... :P
[09:43] <BLZiN> lol yup
[09:43] <profanephobia> going4linux: ok... firefox works great for me but are you 64bit by anychance
[09:43] <ge2x> !compizfusion
[09:43] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about compizfusion - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:44] <kahrytan> Konsole: You need to use gksudo in alt-f2 or sudo in console
[09:44] <nemo_work> Keith: looks like nickrud thinks it should have happened automagically - I wonder why it didn't.
[09:44] <Keith> nemo_work: nickrud: what is the command i need?
[09:44] <Konsole> how do i edit my sources?
[09:44] <nickrud> Keith, then there's a --config for that, libjavaplugin_oji.so
[09:44] <Going4Linux> profanephobia: no i dont like 64-bit not much works there in either windows nor linux
[09:44] <BLZiN> Pricechild - sorry for all these questions, im ok once i done things once but its imposs when ya dont no how ya na i mean
[09:44] <Keith> nickrud: yes i saw that earlier somewhere :)
[09:45] <compengi> Konsole, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:45] <PriceChild> BLZiN, hehe yeah... especially when the guy who's "helping" hasn't either... :P
[09:45] <jrib> Keith: you restarted firefox?
[09:45] <PriceChild> BLZiN, *thinks*
[09:45] <nickrud> Keith, nemo_work /etc/alternatives has a bunch of them. Some are done in sets (like the man pages), I'm not up on just which are grouped otherwise
[09:45] <LinuxKid> hy
[09:45] <Keith> jrib: yes
[09:45] <BLZiN> Pricechild - PMSL
[09:45] <LinuxKid> how i get a antiscanner
[09:45] <PriceChild> BLZiN, pmsl?
[09:45] <LinuxKid> somebody scan me
[09:45] <profanephobia> going4linux: you couldnt be more right about that... do you know what type of content is trying to load before the brwser crashes
[09:45] <Keith> hmm the plot thickens
[09:45] <BLZiN> Pricechild - pissing myself laughing
[09:46] <BLZiN> Pricechild - another version of LOL i spose
[09:46] <Going4Linux> profanephobia: sites with embeded videos that isnt "in flash" or "in shockware"
[09:46] <Anlar> Going4Linux: what plugin handles those?
[09:46] <BLZiN> can anybody help my NXCLIENT connect to my NXSERVER plz?
[09:46] <Going4Linux> Anlar: dunno.. its firefox..
[09:46] <profanephobia> going4linux: so like wmv or shit
[09:47] <PriceChild> BLZiN, you're absolutely sure that the server is running?
[09:47] <Hibame> Does ubuntu support wireless adapters?
[09:47] <Going4Linux> those sites works just fine in internet explorer 7
[09:47] <profanephobia> Hibame: yes
[09:47] <Going4Linux> thats why i want ie7 in linux
[09:47] <compengi> Hibame, sure
[09:47] <BLZiN> Pricechild - i had to restart it in that guide it successfully said service stopped and service started
[09:47] <Hibame> Know where I can get some drivers to make it work?
[09:47] <Anlar> Going4Linux: I have no idea why, but the totem plugin is 20x more stable (never crashes browser no matter what) with Epiphany.. with firefox it just sucks, and you'd better off with mplayer-plugin perhaps
[09:47] <LinuxKid> nickrud: ?
[09:47] <kahrytan> Going4Linux: You try using VideoLAN (VLC)?
[09:47] <PriceChild> BLZiN, hmm ok
[09:47] <nickrud> LinuxKid, I scanned you, carefully ;)
[09:48] <Going4Linux> i dont know what firefox uses to show non-flash videos
[09:48] <LinuxKid> :)
[09:48] <jrib> Going4Linux: totem by default
[09:48] <nemo_work> jrib: oooh, yes, and that is soooo annoying
[09:48] <Anlar> Going4Linux: about:plugins tells btw that information
[09:48] <socketbind> did anyone had luck with installing feisty on a hp nx9420?
[09:48] <nemo_work> jrib: mplayerplug-in does a much better job, and after you install it, the two have fun slugging it out for about:plugins slots
[09:48] <eifzon> I just installed Ubuntu 7.04 from the alternate CD. I installed my disk as LVM and reiserfs, is that a good format? I got a Seagate 500GB SATA2 16MB Cache.
[09:48] <kahrytan> Going4Linux: VLC has all the codecs you need w/o trying to install them all.
[09:48] <nemo_work> jrib: wish I could figure out how to disable the totem plugins for firefox, besides doing it manually
[09:48] <ceccaaan> I have a problem with videos, no picture, only sound. I've tried both VLC and the integrated movie player
[09:48] <kuitang> reiserfs is fine, but not the most reliable
[09:48] <Pb2006> hello ! i just installed ubuntu on my laptop (dell xps m1210) but i don`t get any menus in the graphical interface, i am totaly new to linux, does anyone know how i can adjust the resolution ?
[09:48] <LinuxKid> nickrud: what can i do
[09:48] <profanephobia> going4linux: just give me one of thee sites that makes you crash
[09:49] <jrib> nemo_work: just remove the package for the totem plugin
[09:49] <Going4Linux> kahrytan: vlc doesnt work well in vista, neither does firefox.. buggy programs
[09:49] <nemo_work> jrib: oh. there's a totem plugin package? thought it was in main totem
[09:49] <Going4Linux> profanephobia: i usually never re-visit them since they crash me
[09:49] <profanephobia> vlc worked in vista for me
[09:49] <jrib> nemo_work: totem-mozilla
[09:49] <nemo_work> jrib: sweet. thanks.
[09:49] <nickrud> LinuxKid, what do you mean my an anti-scanner?
[09:49] <Going4Linux> profanephobia: picture are too dark in vlc for me
[09:49] <Anlar> socketbind: you should update the bios first, that laptop has problems with older versions
[09:49] <BLZiN> Pricechild - in the guide it has sommit about changing ssh port to 8888 instead of 22 this i didnt do because i thought 22 would be fine maybe ill try that
[09:49] <Going4Linux> profanephobia: or to horrible performance like 1fps
[09:49] <PriceChild> BLZiN, well it should be fine as you already connected by it
[09:50] <jrib> Keith: is someone helping you?
[09:50] <LinuxKid> nickrud: pff
[09:50] <LinuxKid> nickrud: when you have a virus you need a antivirus
[09:50] <LinuxKid> nickrud: something like this
[09:51] <Anlar> socketbind: after updating the bios to newest version it should work
[09:51] <nickrud> LinuxKid, I don't worry about viruses
[09:51] <socketbind> Anlar: thank you
[09:51] <LinuxKid> nickrut : this was a example
[09:51] <profanephobia> going4linux: try this http://www.ubuntugeek.com/running-internet-explorer-in-ubuntu-linux.html
[09:51] <Pb2006> please help, first time linux user
[09:51] <tom_> ???  Does anyone know the current firewire driver status as to how soon Pro audio firewire interfaces such as M-Audio or Edirol connects might be up and working?
[09:51] <profanephobia> pb2006; whats the prob
[09:52] <Enselic> Pb2006: I recomend the introductional documentation at ubuntu.com
[09:52] <Going4Linux> profanephobia: i dont want ie 4 its old
[09:52] <BLZiN> Pricechild - yeah i did it anyway defo not that changing port bk to 22
[09:52] <Savage-{> anybody know where the fix is for the flash images overlapping some web menus that open up under the flash images?
[09:52] <nemo_work> Savage-{: there is an alteration that must be made in the flash files
[09:52] <kahrytan> Savage-{: Bug
[09:53] <Savage-{> ah ok
[09:53] <Pb2006> profanephobia: well i installed ubuntu, and everything was fine, but then after reboot the picture does not fit the screen and the gnome "start" menu is not showing .. all i can do i change the background picture ..
[09:53] <kahrytan> Savage-{: It happens to me too
[09:53] <Keith> jrib: no, im pretty stuck right now
[09:53] <eifzon> I just installed Ubuntu 7.04 from the alternate CD. I installed my disk as LVM and reiserfs, is that a good format? I got a Seagate 500GB SATA2 16MB Cache.
[09:53] <nickrud> LinuxKid, there are things that watch for attacks, like tripwire,portsentry, snort, but since I don't admin something open to the net, I don't worry much
[09:53] <jrib> Keith: join me in #ubuntu-classroom
[09:53] <nemo_work> kahrytan: there was a web page I ran into once that described how to fix flash files to not do that, but I never use flash, so never really cared
[09:53] <nemo_work> Savage-{: flashblock ! :)
[09:53] <kohak> hmm maybe it the screen. use your monitor buttons to change the settings
[09:54] <kahrytan> nemo_work: do tell us all
[09:54] <nemo_work> Savage-{: most of the time the flash is junk anyway, just use flash click-to-play
[09:54] <Twofclubs> why do i get "The Composite extension is not available" when i try to launch the desktop effects under feisty
[09:54] <kahrytan> nemo_work: youtube ....
[09:54] <Pb2006> profanephobia: ita a laptop btw ..
[09:54] <LinuxKid> nickrud: pff
[09:54] <Keith> nemo_work: thanks for all your help, very much appreciated :)
[09:54] <nemo_work> kahrytan: and in that case, one extra click is not a huge cost
[09:54] <kohak> has anyone try to install doom?
[09:54] <Enselic> Twofclubs: probably because there are no drivers for you graphics card
[09:54] <nemo_work> Keith: well, trying to help. nickcrude was clearly more helpful
[09:54] <Savage-{> what is flashblock?
[09:54] <Jack_Sparrow> Going4Linux:      ies4linux will break your WIne INstallation.. Ask in WineHQ before trying it
[09:54] <LinuxKid> nickrud: i dont understand very good english
[09:55] <okanturkey> hil all channel
[09:55] <nemo_work> Savage-{: firefox extension, replaces all flash with a play button
[09:55] <profanephobia> IE will break anything
[09:55] <BLZiN> can nobdy help me out here tryin get nxclient to connect to nxserver
[09:55] <Twofclubs> Enselic: i though i installed those today
[09:55] <Going4Linux> Jack_Sparrow: wine buggy?
[09:55] <Savage-{> ok cool
[09:55] <Jack_Sparrow> Going4Linux: NOpe.. that script
[09:55] <nemo_work> Savage-{: flash doesn't load until you click it - if a site has hidden flash, you can whitelist that site specially
[09:55] <Twofclubs> Enselic: is there a command to check and see
[09:55] <okanturkey> aran0131zda H0130 BULGAR TRK  YOKMU
[09:55] <nemo_work> Savage-{: gmail, for example, uses hidden flash for the little ping sound google chat inside gmail uses - that one I had to whitelist
[09:55] <Going4Linux> why linux so complex? linux should be more userfriendly like windows imo
[09:55] <Jack_Sparrow> Going4Linux:  WInehq has better info on IE

[09:56] <tarzeau> Going4Linux: it's just way more transparent
[09:56] <nemo_work> Going4Linux: what can be friendlier than a package manager?
[09:56] <tarzeau> Going4Linux: and some are not used to that
[09:56] <Enselic> Going4Linux: what do you tink makes it complex?
[09:56] <profanephobia> wow
[09:56] <Enselic> Twofclubs: nope, sorry
[09:56] <profanephobia> he got drilled
[09:56] <nemo_work> I hate maintaing windows installs - although, someone recently created a package manager-ish thingy for windows :)
[09:56] <PriceChild> Going4Linux, This is not support related. I would ask you and anyone else in this conversation go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:56] <Gambit123456781> I tried that profanphobia, but when it went to check for errors it didn't return any...

[09:56] <ceccaaan> I have a problem with videos, no picture, only sound. I've tried both VLC and the integrated movie player. I have all the plugins..
[09:56] <Jack_Sparrow> Going4Linux: It is friendly, you are trying to run programs from another os.. See how friendly Windows is at running linux programs
[09:56] <ttt-> hi, in ssh, how do i copy a local directory to the remote directory?
[09:56] <Savage-{> I got it thx
[09:56] <Going4Linux> Enselic: trying to find all those hundered config files that isnt placed in the same folder like the next dist
[09:56] <profanephobia> pricechild: he was asking a question jesus
[09:56] <Going4Linux> Jack_Sparrow: vista got support for unix stuff
[09:56] <PriceChild> !offtopic | profanephobia
[09:56] <kahrytan> nemo_work: I try to keep my extension to a minimal. Slows down firefox
[09:56] <ubotu> profanephobia: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[09:57] <eifzon> Anyone here running LVM/reiserfs?
[09:57] <nemo_work> kahrytan: this one will speed it up :-p
[09:57] <nemo_work> kahrytan: since the flash isn't loading
[09:57] <Enselic> Going4Linux: sorry, we have to keep these discussions out of this supprt channel
[09:57] <profanephobia> bastards like you that make me hate the internet
[09:57] <nemo_work> kahrytan: also improves stability since plugins are major source of instability
[09:57] <Jack_Sparrow> agreed
[09:57] <compengi> Twigathy, what is your output for "glxinfo | grep direct"
[09:57] <nemo_work> kahrytan: the added code to firefox is extremely minimal
[09:57] <Twigathy> huh?
[09:57] <PriceChild> profanephobia, please watch the language and don't attack users of this channel.
[09:57] <kahrytan> nemo_work: startup time
[09:57] <Anlar> Going4Linux: actually most of the config files are in same places due LSB, and you usually don't have to edit them anyways nowadays
[09:57] <nemo_work> compengi: heh. you meant dude with no picture right? :)
[09:57] <mroc> quick question - i installed the openclipart package.....where did all that clipart end up?
[09:58] <EADG_> ttt-: Look into sshfs, lets you mount remote systems locally, easy to set up.
[09:58] <nemo_work> kahrytan: meh. assure you, flash block is very very minimal as extensions go
[09:58] <Gambit123456781> is there some programme i can install to act as a boot manager between linux and windows?
[09:58] <Going4Linux> Anlar: LSB? and how to get READ graphics drivers to work without edit thet xorg file and reboot linux?
[09:58] <Enselic> mroc: did you install it through a .deb?
[09:58] <tarzeau> Gambit123456781: grub?
[09:58] <ge2x> !ubuntu-standard
[09:58] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntu-standard - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:58] <gravemind> every 20 minutes or so, the screen starts to dim and tries to turn off! How do I disable this 'feature?'

[09:58] <mroc> Enselic: yeah, apt-get

[09:58] <Enselic> Gambit123456781: VMware?
[09:58] <compengi> nemo_work, lol, not really maybe his video card doesn't support effects such as "beryl"
[09:58] <genii> !ubuntu-desktop | ge2x

[09:58] <ubotu> ge2x: k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading.
[09:59] <Gambit123456781> grub aint loading windows for me tho
[09:59] <Anlar> Going4Linux: there's no xorg.config on newest versions at all, it's automatic. and you don't have to reboot, just ctrl-alt-backspace is enough :)
[09:59] <Enselic> mroc: you can also graphically find out by using Synaptic if you prefer
[09:59] <mroc> Enselic: ok, great.  thanks.
[09:59] <kahrytan> nemo_work: You still gonna use flashblock when adobes fixes the bug?
[09:59] <ttt-> EADG_: cant it be done with ssh?
[09:59] <Gambit123456781> whats this, VMware you speak of, Enselic?
[09:59] <compengi> Twigathy, enter the command i wrote you in the terminal then enter
[09:59] <Going4Linux> Anlar: thats reboot the gui, i thought linux never had reboots
[09:59] <nemo_work> kahrytan: absolutely
[09:59] <Enselic> Gambit123456781: it allows you to run Windows within Linux, or vice versa
[09:59] <profanephobia> gambit123456789: if the vista bootloader is messed up and the cd couldnt fix it your best bet is  to reinstall vista
[09:59] <Twigathy> compengi: uh, why?
[09:59] <ttt-> EADG_: i just need to copy this one directory
[09:59] <Twigathy> I haven't spoken in this channel for...ages >_<
[09:59] <Enselic> Gambit123456781: so you don't have to reboot to switch OS
[09:59] <EADG_> ttt-: scp I believe, not sure of the syntax though.
[09:59] <ttt-> ok thanks
[09:59] <nemo_work> kahrytan: again, as mentioned, flash loading when I don't want it is a waste of bandwidth, page rendering, speed, and a major cause of instability
[09:59] <compengi> Twigathy, to check if your card supports it
[09:59] <kahrytan> nemo_work: Flash makes websites more usable though
[10:00] <Twigathy> Also, I'm not at the machine. So from here I get "unable to open display" ;)
[10:00] <Anlar> Going4Linux: mu.
[10:00] <kahrytan> nemo_work: bandwidth cap?
[10:00] <Gambit123456781> cool, where can i get my hands on that, Enselic?
[10:00] <nemo_work> kahrytan: that latter would be fixed by better isolation of plugin from main program
[10:00] <Twigathy> compengi: I think you've got the wrong person on tab complete
[10:00] <Twigathy> compengi: but I know my machine does support it. I run Beryl.
[10:00] <nemo_work> kahrytan: but while they had talked about that for ff3, it didn't make it in
[10:00] <Enselic> Gambit123456781: hang on, I'll give you a link
[10:00] <gravemind> every 20 minutes or so, the screen starts to dim and tries to turn off! How do I disable this 'feature' ?
[10:00] <Keith> nemo_work: thanks once again, I got it working :)
[10:00] <nemo_work> kahrytan: so, even in ff3 I'll keep using it
[10:00] <Twofclubs> When i try to open Desktop Effects, i get the following error "The Composite extension is not available"...i updated my ati drivers today, anyone know why i cannot launch desktop effects?
[10:00] <Keith> nemo_work: I had to sudo aptitude install sun-java6-plugin
[10:00] <kahrytan> nemo_work: You sure it's nore ff and not plugin itself?
[10:01] <Going4Linux> Anlar: mu? are you a cow now?
[10:01] <nemo_work> Keith: ah! it is a separate package!
[10:01] <kahrytan> *note
[10:01] <kahrytan> *not
[10:01] <nemo_work> kahrytan: the issue with the crashing? well, hard to say. that's one of this immaterial questions
[10:01] <Enselic> Gambit123456781: this will get you started: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Player
[10:01] <nemo_work> kahrytan: plugins cause instability. who's at fault is irrelevant to the fact that they do.
[10:01] <Gambit123456781> tnx :)
[10:01] <nemo_work> kahrytan: until they don't, I will use stuff like flash click to play
[10:01] <live> AA
[10:01] <kahrytan> nemo_work: I mean the flash overlay issue.
[10:01] <kuitang> Those dellbuntus--are they a good deal?  The specs seem good.
[10:01] <nemo_work> kahrytan: flash itself should not be critical to a website anyway, my opinion of any site that depends on it goes down :)
[10:01] <ge2x> !ubuntu-desktop
[10:01] <ubotu> k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading.
[10:02] <Optimus55> can i format some free space into a fat32 drive from within ubuntu? without booting back into live cd
[10:02] <nemo_work> kahrytan: oh that? yeah, possibly, I just noted it is fixable in flash movies.
[10:02] <nemo_work> kahrytan: and since I block the flash, I don't much care
[10:02] <nemo_work> oh well. back to work stuff. later y'all
[10:02] <kahrytan> nemo_work: can plugin fix or mozilla?
[10:02] <gravemind> How do I disable the thing that turns the screen off if I'm inactive?
[10:03] <Enselic> !vmware > Gambit123456781 probably even a better start
[10:03] <Anlar> Going4Linux: read on http://dict.die.net/mu/ :)
[10:03] <Enselic> gravemind: System -> Preferences -> Powermanagemtn or similar
[10:03] <Kejan> Anyone know how to get a TI1620 5-1 card reader going??
[10:04] <gravemind> Enselic: I found that and set both to 'never' however it still does iut
[10:04] <Enselic> Kejan: yes, chances are you only need to load some modules
[10:04] <Going4Linux> can i get outlook to work in linux too? its great program
[10:04] <Kejan> I tried 2 websites and still now work.
[10:04] <Kejan> sorry...still doesn't work
[10:04] <gravemind> Enselic: ah, perhaps it's trying to start the screensaver
[10:04] <Enselic> gravemind: that's strange... what version are you on?
[10:04] <kuitang> Going4Linux: Once again, older versions might work in Wine; don't bet on it.
[10:05] <gravemind> Enselic: feisty, with updates
[10:05] <Optimus55> does ubuntu have a built in drive format option, similar to disk management?
[10:05] <brunner> is it normal for the mysql client to install without adding items to the gnome menu?
[10:05] <demonstealer> how do i connect to a wifi connection?
[10:05] <gravemind> Enselic: I disabled the screen saver, now I'm going to test it
[10:05] <kahrytan> Going4Linux: Why do you insist in using Windows programs?
[10:05] <Going4Linux> kuitang: meh, always old version. IE4.. how old outlook?
[10:05] <gravemind> demonstealer: use network manager
[10:05] <Going4Linux> kahrytan: they are better.. more stable
[10:05] <kuitang> Going4Linux: I don't know; 2000 or XP probably
[10:05] <kahrytan> Going4Linux: and more insecure
[10:05] <Optimus55> Going4Linux: Try Thunderbird.. its decent
[10:06] <Enselic> brunner: rightclick and Edit Menus, it might be hidden
[10:06] <Kejan> can anyone answer why vers. 2.6.20-15 works for TI card read and 2.6.20-16 doesn't??
[10:06] <hypn0> Going4Linux: then why are you using linux at all :-)
[10:06] <kuitang> brunner: use, you admin with mysql on the console
[10:06] <Going4Linux> Optimus55: its firefox stuff, no good..
[10:06] <Optimus55> Going4Linux: whys that?
[10:06] <Enselic> Going4Linux: windows programs on *Linux* is not more stable then Linux programs on Linux...
[10:06] <Going4Linux> hypn0: well, i read this site http://www.whylinuxisbetter.net/ and thought i should testit
[10:06] <parag> Hi, Can anybody suggest me "all in one free linux apliance" with Proxy + firewall + fax + email everything....?
[10:06] <brunner> Going4Linux: have you tried Evolution?
[10:07] <Going4Linux> brunner: no but i saw the movie, good one
[10:07] <hypn0> Going4Linux: you can test it with linux programs can't you :-/
[10:07] <Optimus55> Going4Linux: x_X
[10:07] <kahrytan> Going4Linux: There is other Gecko based browsers
[10:07] <parag> Hi, Can anybody suggest me "all in one free linux apliance" with Proxy + firewall + fax + email everything....?
[10:07] <kuitang> parag: use apache/squid for proxy, iptables firewall, idk fax, sendmail/postfix/exim email
[10:07] <kahrytan> Going4Linux: Epiphany is one of them
[10:07] <BLZiN> HELLO houston are u recieving over
[10:07] <BLZiN> :P
[10:08] <parag> I need complete appliance like kirux
[10:08] <BLZiN> HELP!
[10:08] <Anlar> Going4Linux: you know, linux isn't really better. it is just a tool, and your needs dictate what is better and what you should use.
[10:08] <Pici> !ask
[10:08] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[10:08] <erUSUL> !help | BLZiN
[10:08] <kuitang> Going4Linux: though Outlook may be a 'great program,' there's many much better ones (I just use pine)

[10:08] <Anlar> Going4Linux: if you feel that Windows is better, then stick with it :)

[10:08] <supaneko> Could someone tell me what command to use in Terminal to restart mythbackend?
[10:08] <Optimus55> hey does anyone know if i cant format a new drive from within ubuntu without booting to live cd?
[10:08] <kuitang> Going4Linux: Compared to mailx, pine *is* a fancy gui
[10:08] <kahrytan> Going4Linux: and Thunder has spam blocking
[10:08] <Going4Linux> Anlar: but the site http://www.whylinuxisbetter.net/ said linux is so much better then windows
[10:08] <tarzeau> Optimus55: with mkfs.*
[10:09] <kahrytan> Going4Linux: Thunderbird
[10:09] <Enselic> supaneko: pkill mythbackend, then start it again
[10:09] <Pb2006> why wont the menus show up ?
[10:09] <tarzeau> Optimus55: but usually you want partitions, try cfdisk
[10:09] <Enselic> Pb2006: what menus?
[10:09] <Going4Linux> kahrytan: i use spampal for such things
[10:09] <Optimus55> tarzeau: how does that work? cli? or does it bring up a gui interface?
[10:09] <kuitang> Going4Linux: You don't capture those benefits by running Windows programs on Linux
[10:09] <BLZiN> my NXCLIENT wont connect to my NXSERVER, i am running ubuntu 6.06 desktop on my server and winows xp on my home pc can anybody help plz?
[10:09] <supaneko> Would anyone have any idea why my MythTV is only picking up 13 channels?
[10:09] <Pb2006> Enselic:the ones that are suppose to show where you can choose programs and stuff
[10:09] <parag> Hi, Can anybody suggest me "all in one free linux apliance" with Proxy + firewall + fax + email everything....?
[10:09] <tarzeau> Optimus55: cfdisk has a textmode interface, and mkfs is just a tool no menu
[10:09] <Anlar> Going4Linux: there are a lot of zealots and fanboys making those pages. but seriously, what you have now is general change resistance. you are against linux providing equivalent things DIFFERENTLY. it is not even always meant to be alike actually.
[10:10] <brunner> Enselic: I don't see it... I'm sure I can add it, but I'm not sure what the name of the mysql client binary is
[10:10] <kuitang> Going4Linux: Running Windows programs *still* exposes you to viruses, even more instability, and slowness
[10:10] <doro01> hellow
[10:10] <brunner> maybe I missed a package that would install the graphical version of the MySQL administrator deal
[10:10] <kuitang> brunner: It comes separate; phpMyAdmin is good
[10:10] <Going4Linux> Anlar: oki, but i saw one page they wrote firefox protects your from virus and stuff like that, is firefox a browser AND antivirus ?
[10:10] <Optimus55> tarzeau: hmm okay thanks. i'm dual booting xp but i prefer linux. need a fat32 drive to share data between the two since i hear ntfs write support is buggy. ill just boot into xp and format it thnx
[10:10] <doro01> Might anyone be able to tell me how to make video resolutions above 1280x1024 available?
[10:10] <BLZiN> tarzeau - LOL @ that pic
[10:10] <kuitang> Going4Linux: No, it's just that IE is a pro-virus
[10:11] <Enselic> Pb2006: do you have a panel at all visible?
[10:11] <brunner> kuitang: yeah, phpMyAdmin is great, but I prefer to work with a client that's installed on my machine
[10:11] <Anlar> Going4Linux: no, firefox is plain honestly complete trash if you take a closer look at the quality of that application.
[10:11] <dyrne> !fixres | doro01
[10:11] <ubotu> doro01: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[10:11] <Kejan> is there an updated "something" that may get my SD & MMC cards to be read?
[10:11] <technel> I want to have awk search for something recursively, but this doesn't work for some reason:  find | awk "/:controller/" xargs   what am I doing wrong?
[10:11] <Enselic> Anlar: um, why so?
[10:11] <tarzeau> Optimus55: np. windows has the problem it can't do larger than 32gb fat partitions?
[10:11] <dyrne> doro01: try that post here if you  have a problem
[10:11] <doro01> k
[10:12] <Pb2006> Enselic:no just the backgroundscreen
[10:12] <Optimus55> tarzeau: no probs, its just about 500mb partition anyhow
[10:12] <tarzeau> Optimus55: ah fine then
[10:12] <Anlar> Going4Linux: you really might be surprised to try out for instance konqueror and then having one of those cases where your multimedia plugin goes haywire. nothing special will happen. no crash. and it renders the page at least equally well and is meaner and leaner. :) (no, I don't use konqueror myself - that was just an example)
[10:12] <kuitang> brunner: afaik, Mysql doesn't have a standalone gui
[10:12] <Optimus55> tarzeau: yeh just wondered if i could do it without having to restart etc... cool thanx
[10:12] <kuitang> brunner: it's either commandline or phpma
[10:12] <parag> Hi, Can anybody suggest me "all in one free linux apliance" with Proxy + firewall + fax + email everything....?
[10:13] <brunner> what? isn't there one for windows?
[10:13] <tarzeau> Optimus55: yes it's possible
[10:13] <brunner> I've used it before!
[10:13] <Enselic> Pb2006: what happends if you run gnome-panel?
[10:13] <tarzeau> parag: it's called Debian?
[10:13] <kuitang> brunner: Well, I wouldn't know; I never ran Mysql on Windows
[10:14] <Pb2006> Enselic:well it makes the logonsound, and then nothing
[10:14] <brunner> kuitang: I'm just talking about the client
[10:14] <bommelom> is there a gui for nfs in ubuntu?
[10:14] <brunner> kuitang: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/gui-tools/5.0.html
[10:15] <brunner> kuitang: it's really nice
[10:15] <Enselic> Pb2006: hang on, I'll try to figure out a way to add one
[10:15] <kuitang> brunner: Check the repos; if it isn't there, d/l the tarball (or compile from source if you can; that's the better option)
[10:15] <brunner> I sort of prefer the GUI tools that come with MS SQL, to be honest, but these work fine
[10:16] <blue-frog> hi, my usb HDD is automounted with root ownership and write rights for my user, what can I tweak to change this, please?

[10:16] <Kejan> what does that mean?
[10:16] <blue-frog> sorry with no write rights for my user
[10:17] <invader> some polish?
[10:17] <Pb2006> Enselic: Thank you so mutch, i am a first time linux user and i read on a norwegian tach news site that ubunto was good for us who wanted to change from windows
[10:18] <kahrytan> Where is the panel used to change Gnome splash?
[10:18] <Kejan> anyone take notice of the *@($ stock market??
[10:19] <kahrytan> Kejan: I always notice stock market
[10:19] <Kejan> today was another 'bummer'! in market that is
[10:20] <Anlar> Kejan: yeah my stock has gone in the last year up only 36% :E
[10:20] <Enselic> Pb2006: seems harder than it should be
[10:20] <brunner> how can I find out what version of Ubunutu I'm running?
[10:20] <Enselic> Does anyone know how to add a GNOME Panel when there is no panel visible?
[10:20] <kahrytan> Kejan: get my PMs?
[10:20] <Kejan> uumm..oh..see it..hold a sec
[10:21] <Goran_> is it possible to enable 3d effects without the 3d drivers?
[10:21] <kahrytan> Goran_: No
[10:21] <Sache> feed me
[10:21] <Pb2006> Enselic: according to the ubuntu webpage its shoud be 1-2-3 go )= but it isent
[10:21] <kahrytan> Goran_: You need drivers to drive the 3d card
[10:21] <Kejan> does anyone know how to fix my computer??
[10:21] <Goran_> no there is software 3d too
[10:22] <kahrytan> opengl?
[10:22] <Goran_> the glxinfo shows composite extension
[10:22] <kahrytan> that needs graphics card
[10:22] <howlingmadhowie> Goran_: and glxgears?
[10:22] <Goran_> runs
[10:22] <Kejan> Kejan's prob is comp wont read my SD or MMC cards
[10:22] <howlingmadhowie> Goran_: then you have 3d-acceleration :)
[10:22] <Goran_> false
[10:23] <Enselic> Pb2006: does anything happen when you press Alt + F2?
[10:23] <Anlar> glxgears runs happily using just the mesa as well
[10:23] <brunner> why doesn't apt-get know of mysql-admin when it's listed as being in the fiesty universe repo? http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/admin/mysql-admin

[10:25] <Enselic> Pb2006: if you log in and out, do you get an empty panel then?
[10:25] <darkness_> well, at least get quake into fullscreen
[10:25] <Kejan> can I blow up my computer now??

[10:26] <Pb2006> when i log out i get the "welcome screen"
[10:26] <howlingmadhowie> Anlar: really? i thought glxgears used the card
[10:26] <Enselic> Pb2006: and when you log in you should get an empty panel
[10:26] <BlackDesign> Could someone help me? Azureus seems to be crashing
[10:27] <Pb2006> Enselic: the clock is showing and also a options menu , but when i login all i can do is change the background picture .. no panels no nothing
[10:27] <Enselic> BlackDesign: it could crash for a thousand reasons, please be specific and describe the crash
[10:27] <Anlar> howlingmadhowie: no, it falls back to the software.
[10:27] <BlackDesign> Enselic, it seems that it makes my Java-runtime crash
[10:27] <howlingmadhowie> Anlar: everyday i learn somethinf new ;)
[10:27] <BlackDesign> Enselic, it loads up, I see the program and after 1 second it stops
[10:28] <kersinc> #ubuntu-es
[10:28] <BlackDesign> Enselic, I have a error report
[10:28] <Enselic> Pb2006: it sounds as if your install is corrupt :( according to #gnome @ freenode, you should get an empty panel when you login
[10:28] <Enselic> Pb2006: have you done something "special" during installation/use?
[10:29] <Pb2006> Enselic:so i shoud just reinstall ?
[10:29] <BlackDesign> Damn, I have to go... I'll come back later
[10:29] <BlackDesign> Bye
[10:29] <Enselic> Pb2006: you could try to create a new user, and see if that new user has the same problem
[10:29] <Pb2006> Enselic:nah i just pressed the next button during intstall
[10:29] <Pb2006> Enselic: how can i create a new user ?
[10:29] <Jordan_U> Is there a good program for simply splitting an audio file into multiple tracks to write to a CD ( archived vinyl )
[10:29] <Enselic> Pb2006: a new user will have default panels
[10:30] <Enselic> Pb2006: if you press C-A-F1, you will get to a terminal (press C-A-F7) to get back here
[10:30] <kahrytan> Jordan_U: I found a program to merge mp3 files.
[10:30] <Enselic> Pb2006: take a shot
[10:30] <Enselic> Pb2006: then I'll explain more
[10:30] <Taco> how do i set Listen as my default music player? or set it as a choice in the Open With menu?
[10:30] <kahrytan> Jordan_U: But try audacity.
[10:31] <Pb2006> Enselic: ok now i have this black screen
[10:31] <Enselic> Taco: rightclick on the file, then edit stuff in the 'OPen with' tab
[10:31] <Anlar> howlingmadhowie: all opengl is piped through this library that sends everything the card can handle to the card and does the rest with mesa.. it's because cards are quite different anyways, the application programmers will never have to really check some minor details
[10:31] <Jazon> hihi
[10:31] <Taco> Enselic: is there any other way to add it without doing it by command?
[10:31] <Raff7> mhmm
[10:31] <Jordan_U> kahrytan, I am trying audacity and the interface seems horrible for just this ( and I am not merging but separating and loss-less not mp3 )
[10:31] <Raff7> hello
[10:31] <Enselic> Pb2006: login on that screen, then run the command     adduser test
[10:32] <Enselic> Pb2006: then back to C-A-F7, logout, and then login as the test user
[10:32] <Jazon> can i do a server type install on an old P2 300 and use it as a terminal for my P4 running kubuntu?
[10:32] <Kejan> volume in Ubuntu works, BUT button on computer no effect?  Ideas how to correct??
[10:32] <kahrytan> Jordan_U: You can copy and paste the audio in audacity.
[10:32] <Enselic> Taco: you don't need a command
[10:32] <Enselic> Taco: just rightclick on the file in the file explorer (Nautilus)
[10:32] <kahrytan> Kejan: keyboard?
[10:33] <Jordan_U> kahrytan, I know, I was just hoping there was an easier way
[10:33] <Kejan> kahrytan: no button on side of computer R3000 Presario
[10:33] <Taco> Enselic: yes, but Listen isn't in the menu when adding a new thing to open it with. i have to add it by command 'listen', is there anyway to add it to the menu by default?
[10:34] <wib> hi, i just installed ubuntu on another machine which has a pci wlan card with an atheros chipset in it. the restricted driver manager lists an ahteros HAL driver which is enabled and in use. so, how do i connect to the internet then? iwconfig doesn't show a wlan0.
[10:34] <kahrytan> Kejan: Darn can't help ya there. But ifyou get keyboard with volume control, get keytouch
[10:34] <Kejan> kahrytan: thanks...will try
[10:34] <Pb2006> Enselic: same problem with test user
[10:34] <Enselic> Taco: ah I see         it will be added to the menu when you provide the command manualy
[10:34] <kahrytan> Kejan: it's made for keyboards.
[10:35] <Enselic> Pb2006: hang on, I'll just make sure I get panels on a new user
[10:35] <Kejan> kahrytan: yea, sorry..spacy moment I had for a sec
[10:35] <Taco> Enselic: but is there anyway to add it there like Anjuta IDE is for example? (trying to open mp3's :/ )
[10:35] <Pb2006> Enselic:sounds great
[10:35] <kahrytan> Kejan: http://keytouch.sourceforge.net/
[10:35] <Kejan> kahrytan: thanks for link
[10:35] <Enselic> Pb2006: what did it look like when you logged in as test?
[10:36] <Pb2006> Enselic:same as i does with the other user, just a background thats it
[10:37] <lmosher> I've borked my system a bit. I was playing dangerously with my startup stuff and I've managed to disable my network from start. I was following the advice of some website that said to disable "auto eth1" in /etc/network/interfaces. However, my system -needs- that because I don't use network-manager (I use wpa_supplicant directly). I removed my comments, but my wireless netowork is still disable on startup
[10:37] <lmosher> To get it back I just have to 'sudo ifdown eth1' (it says it's already up if you try to ifup first). then 'sudo ifup eth1'. Then it works, no problem.
[10:37] <Enselic> Pb2006: a new user should have the panels, it seems as if something is funky with your install :(
[10:37] <Sonicadvance1> I have a network card installed that SHOULD be using the tulip module, but it isn't, any way to force it to use the Tulip module?
[10:37] <Enselic> Pb2006: do you have rare hardware?
[10:37] <lmosher> Anyone have any ideas why it's not starting if ifup works fine?
[10:38] <Pb2006> Enselic: hehe now i don`t think so i have a dell m1210 laptop
[10:38] <Enselic> Pb2006: what CD did you use? Alternate?
[10:38] <wib> anyone have experiences with atheros wlan drivers or restricted drivers?
[10:39] <Pb2006> Enselic: Ubuntu 7.04 - Supported to 2008 standard cd
[10:39] <dyrne> wib: ive not had an issue getting an atheros card up for a while. madwifi pretty much always works
[10:40] <Enselic> Pb2006: well I hate to recomend reinstalls, but your installation really seems to have been going wrong for some reason
[10:40] <Enselic> Pb2006: you might wanna do a checksum check when you boot with the CD
[10:40] <Enselic> Pb2006: to make sure the CD is not corrupted
[10:41] <Enselic> Pb2006: there is a menu option for that in the CD boot menu
[10:41] <wib> dyrne: the restricted device manager lists it as enabled and in use (i /just/ installed ubuntu and dindt do anytrhing to it). still, wlan0 doesn't show up in iwconfig and i don't know what to do about ut
[10:41] <Pb2006> Enselic:ok but then ill reinstall and ill come back here in a bit and tell you how it went and ill checksum the cd :)
[10:41] <Arno1407> Hi folks. Anyone here who knows how to get wlan working with a fixed IP  - adress AND WPA? I can only find configuration possibilities with either dhcp and wpa, OR fixed IP and wep.
[10:41] <Enselic> Pb2006: I might be sleeping then      good luck anyway
[10:41] <brunner> is it possible to upgrade between releases with apt-get upgrade?

[10:43] <Kejan> TI card reader not working. help on getting it started??
[10:43] <Falstius> anyone one know of something like orthos or tat for the core2duo and ubuntu?
[10:44] <Lycos1988> can i get some help ??
[10:44] <Lycos1988> i have a ati radeon 9800 pro
[10:44] <Lycos1988> and direct rendering is not working
[10:44] <Lycos1988> i had tried every "how to guide" from the forum
[10:44] <Lycos1988> please help
[10:44] <OldPink> Hi all
[10:46] <kayzu> okay, I installed the 64bit version of wine but whenever I try to do winecfg or run a program in wine I get fragmentation errors along with other warnings like "Warning: the specified Windows directory L"c:\\windows" is not accessible."
[10:46] <wib> dyrne: the driver is installed and running, right?
[10:46] <quinton_> I need help installing the nvidia drivers custom from the nvidia website. I have a nvidia geforce on a sony vaio vgn-ar520e
[10:46] <brunner> is anything excluded from the US repos that would be included in non-US repos?
[10:47] <howlingmadhowie> quinton_: hallo :)
[10:47] <quinton_> howlingmadhowie: hi =D
[10:48] <quinton_> howlingmadhowie: I didnt get to fair in installing them... =[
[10:48] <howlingmadhowie> quinton_: oh :(
[10:49] <howlingmadhowie> quinton_: das kriegen wir noch hin. allerdings ist jetzt gerade bei mir die hlle los
[10:49] <quinton_> howlingmadhowie: I really will admit... I dont know a single thing except how to get programs and photoshop and dreamweaver...
[10:49] <Arno1407> @quinton: have you tried Automatix? It has an option to install NVidia-drivers.
[10:49] <quinton_> arno1407: no I havent tried that
[10:49] <howlingmadhowie> quinton_: sorry. i'm watching a film in german and chatting in german on another channel... i'll see what i can do to help, but there's a lot going on here at the moment
[10:50] <quinton_> howlingmadhowie: what about what arno said? to install the drivers that way? automatix?
[10:50] <Arno1407> @quintonL I don't know if it works 2bhonest, but Automatix tends to work pretty well.
[10:50] <zerokill88> ok, i seen a terminal command line ontop of the or inside the desktop that wasnt inside a window? how is that done???
[10:50] <quinton_> howlingmadhowie: thanks
[10:51] <quinton_> arno1407: it would have to install a geforce... no clue what number
[10:51] <howlingmadhowie> quinton_: automatix has the problem that as far as i know, it won't automatically update stuff. can we try it once more according to the howto on the nvidia webpage? and if that doesn't work, we'll try automatix
[10:51] <kazim59> where are vlc codecs installed?
[10:51] <kazim59> which directory it looks for codecs??
[10:51] <rolfen> kazim59: dunno but vlc uses gstreamer i think, among others
[10:52] <kayzu> okay, I installed the 64bit version of wine but whenever I try to do winecfg or run a program in wine I get fragmentation errors along with other warnings like "Warning: the specified Windows directory L"c:\\windows" is not accessible." what should i do?
[10:52] <quinton_> howlingmadhowie: of course!, I'm listening! i just really need to be guided through these things I get lost so easily
[10:52] <kazim59> kazim59: vlc says no codec for 'sipr' (that is real audio)... though RealPlayer can play it.. as well as totem ...
[10:52] <zerokill88> kayzu do you have a copy of windows xp?
[10:53] <howlingmadhowie> quinton_: okay. i'll be with you in a second.
[10:53] <quinton_> howlingmadhowie: of course.
[10:53] <kayzu> zerokill88, yes i have, i'm dualbooting with windows
[10:53] <Arno1407> Does anyone know how to configure wlan with a fixed IP and WPA? I can only get WEP with a fixed IP :(
[10:53] <zerokill88> kayzu oh ok. well instead of using wine, which i always had trouble with i used a virtual machine
[10:53] <zerokill88> kayzu are you familiar with vm software?
[10:54] <Arno1407> Or WPA with dhcp. I want neither WEP nor dhcp
[10:54] <kayzu> zerokill88:  yes, at least in windows.. tried vmware and such
[10:54] <jowi> kayzu: you might get good answers in #winehq if you don't get it here
[10:54] <eolhyte> Hello
[10:54] <lashmoov2> I lost that page with the conversions, but that's 64bit at 133mhz
[10:55] <zerokill88> kayzu all you need to do is sudo apt-get install virtualbox, and that will solve all your problems. read some documentation on how to set it up and it will work like a charm
[10:55] <|thunder> what is the best DVD ripper for encrypted dvd ? Or cssremoval software ?
[10:55] <LinuxProbie> Hey can someone help me make a button to make a script on the taskbar?
[10:55] <quinton_> howlingmadhowie: I'm on the laptop xchat now rather than the desktop computer.
[10:55] <eolhyte> I want to close my active window from the command line (to put it on the gnome-panel). How tu do this ?
[10:55] <howlingmadhowie> quinton_: does that mean you're using the computer we want to install the driver on?
[10:55] <zerokill88> Linuxprobie try #bash
[10:55] <wib> i have a wlan driver installed, lsmod says it's running, still iwconfig doesn't list it. how can i fix that?
[10:55] <steph_16th> Anyone knows where I can get mkinitrd? (it's usually in /sbin)
[10:55] <quinton_> howlingmadhowie: mhm
[10:56] <LinuxProbie> zerokill88, that made no sense to me.
[10:56] <pheorehs> hi
[10:56] <zerokill88> Linuxprobie are you trying to make a script of some sort?
[10:56] <pheorehs> first time installer of ubuntu.  looks niiiceee.
[10:56] <kayzu> zerokill88: how about newer games and stuff? will they work or will they lag or not work in the vm?
[10:56] <howlingmadhowie> quinton_: mhm?
[10:57] <mcphail> is there a version of "libpoppler-ruby" available for feisty? If not, will it be in gutsy?
[10:57] <stefg> kayzu: no D in VMs, so no games
[10:57] <stefg> kayzu: no 3D in VMs, so no games
[10:57] <quinton_> howlingmadhowie: oh, sorry... it means yes
[10:57] <steph_16th> where's /sbin/mkinitrd ?
[10:57] <lietu> pheorehs: wait 'til you get beryl ;)
[10:57] <pheorehs> quick question:  I have windows,  and maybe 10 gigs free of hdd space.  I want to install ubuntu onto a file like a 8 gig ext3 formattedd file, then use that to boot.  reinstalling winxp/repartitioning is not an option.  I have some ideas on how to do this, but just wanna know if anyone knows an easier way ?   oh and booting of the cd is no good either...
[10:57] <LinuxProbie> zerokill88, I;m trying to make a commandline script that will run off of a button on the taskbar
[10:57] <D_coder> hello, this is my first try at linux and for some reason my install of ubuntu wont recognice my dvdrw , How can I get it to read the disk? It is asking for a driver but I can't find one anywhere.
[10:58] <zerokill88> kayzu im not sure i didnt use game in virtualbox but it never lagged for me at all. and i belive alot has to do with the memory you allocate for the vm, it takes you through that in the set up process, and you can give it a little more for gaming. but you should set it up default at first, becuase you can always edit everything later
[10:58] <lietu> pheorehs: I dont think using a file on your windows drive is possible
[10:58] <stefg> pheorehs: rather use virtualization
[10:58] <TiMiDo> !alsa
[10:58] <ubotu> If 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/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[10:58] <Falstius> LinuxProbie: write the script, make it executable (+x), then right click on the panel->add to panel, select custom application launcher.  Fill in the information for your script.
[10:58] <dyrne> pheorehs: the installer can resize the windows partition or you can use the gparted livecd
[10:58] <lietu> pheorehs: if not counting vmware/similar
[10:58] <zerokill88> Linuxprobie im sure you can use bash command. go to the #bash room.   /join #bash
[10:58] <Rockinghorse> fg
[10:58] <pheorehs> lietu: vmware is too slow, doing that now
[10:59] <howlingmadhowie> quinton_: maybe it would be best to use another computer, we're going to be switching off the windowing environment and restarting it, so you won't be able to read xchat (of course there are clients for irc on the console, but you may not want to use one of them just yet)
[10:59] <dyrne> pheorehs: nm didnt read part about formatted file. ive done that but never for / before i dunno
[10:59] <LinuxProbie> Falstius, how do I make it executable, that's the terminal command I can't remember
[10:59] <Roge> does the txt installer offer anything in the way of retrying to install a file if the cd drive craps out ?
[10:59] <jowi> !dvd | D_coder (first check this/these link(s))

[10:59] <lietu> well there is no real way(that I know of atleast) to use a file on a windows drive as the BOOT device in linux
[10:59] <pheorehs> my basic idea was to just build an image of sorts,  boot it using avlgo or something, then tell that image to reboot into ubuntu.
[10:59] <Falstius> LinuxProbie: chmod +x scriptnamehere
[10:59] <lietu> you CAN use files as hard disk images without problems tho, after boot
[10:59] <stefg> pheorehs: no way. you need a  physical partition.
[10:59] <D_coder> ok I will try then thank you :)
[10:59] <eolhyte> Nobody noes ?
[11:00] <LinuxProbie> That's what I needed
[11:00] <LinuxProbie> Falstius, Thanks
[11:00] <kayzu> zerokill88: okay, I'll try to get wine working first and if that doesn't work i'll try virtualbox
[11:00] <pheorehs> stefg, why ?
[11:00] <stefg> pheorehs: because that are the requirements. ubuntu is designed that way
[11:00] <Roge> virtualbox is a good free virtual machine  kayzu you could install windows with it and run whatever app your trying to install
[11:01] <pheorehs> avlgo can boot iso files of the hdd,  can in theory just create a bootable cd, load it,  and mount my ubuntu file, then go from there
[11:01] <stefg> pheorehs: only trick would be using it in Live CD mode with persistant  /home
[11:01] <kayzu> i've got another question: is there a way to get the desktop effects working with the latest nvidia drivers? it always says "the composite extension is not available"
[11:01] <pheorehs> stefg, why does ubuntu want a physical partition as opposed to just a mount ?
[11:02] <|thunder> i have no install candidate for xine on feisty ? wtf ?
[11:02] <stefg> pheorehs: because that are the requirements. ubuntu is designed that way
[11:02] <|thunder> i have no install candidate for xine on feisty ? wtf ? Also no rar-2.80 packagae. argh
[11:02] <kahrytan> I'm back. Boy do I love customizing my Ubuntu.
[11:02] <tarzeau> kahrytan: customize it like what? look?
[11:02] <kahrytan> Windows sucks for customization
[11:02] <eolhyte> Nobody noes how to close the activ window from the gnome-panel ?
[11:03] <pheorehs> stefg,  it works in vmware...
[11:03] <stefg> pheorehs: that are the requirements. ubuntu is designed that way
[11:03] <pheorehs> semantics,  ignore me
[11:03] <howlingmadhowie> quinton_: but i'm pleased to see you using ubuntu :)
[11:03] <tarzeau> kahrytan: oh gnome and kde suck too!
[11:03] <Arno1407> Anyone here knowing how to configure wlan with wpa and fixed ip? The only install-option I can find with wpa is in combinarion with dhcp and I don't want to use dhcp.
[11:03] <kahrytan> tarzeau: Look. I changed login, theme, and grub splash
[11:03] <tarzeau> kahrytan: nice. ever tried to preconfigure gnome or kde for massive amounts of users? gconf sucks
[11:03] <kahrytan> tarzeau: too chicken to change usplash
[11:04] <kahrytan> gconf rules
[11:04] <kohak> hello
[11:04] <tarzeau> kahrytan: worst horrible nightmare shit i've ever seen in my life

[11:05] <soothsayer> tarzeau: Through scripting or there is an app to do it?
[11:06] <quinton_> howlingmadhowie: alrtight sure! let me boot the asus
[11:06] <D_coder> ubotu  I am sorry I have no idea how to install a package yet,  it seems the manufacturer has is a firmware update, which I have already applied. I can't find a linux driver for the device which is a Lite-On DVD/RW SOHW-1633-S. If I could just find a driver I could get it to floppy disk for when it asks for it. Being as new as i am to Linux I was trying to use this to learn about the OS and how to do things like install software etc.
[11:06] <tarzeau> soothsayer: i'd just run it in a terminal... but if it must be gtk/gnome something, no idea
[11:06] <eolhyte> I want to close my active window from the command line (to put it on the gnome-panel). How to do this ?
[11:06] <soothsayer> tarzeau: Is it an app? Or do I have to write it myself?
[11:07] <tarzeau> soothsayer: it's a flexible command, called date
[11:07] <tarzeau> soothsayer: it can be piped for people that can't see well
[11:07] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: there we go!
[11:07] <tarzeau> eolhyte: what about kill -9 $$ ?
[11:08] <zerokill88> linuxprobie you there?
[11:08] <eolhyte> tarzeau, Does it kill the window or the process ?

[11:11] <SirSherlock> hey i just saw that ubuntu has version 3.2.6 of shorewall in its repo, but shorewall is currently stable at 4.0 - is it worth it to upgrade from source???
[11:11] <SirSherlock> any advice??
[11:11] <GynZi> hm
[11:11] <tarzeau> SirSherlock: you can find the answer yourself by just trying

[11:12] <lietu> SirSherlock: generally asking the shorewall people would propably get a better answer.. if you dont want to, or can't find them or something, try it, if it sucks, use the repo version ;)
[11:13] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: after opening synaptic?
[11:13] <tck> i see the Feisty CUPS version is 1.2.8 but the latest stable is 1.2.12 - why isn't there an update of this ?
[11:13] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: build-essential, gcc, gcc-3.4, xserver-xorg-dev, linux-headers-<newest version>
[11:13] <stefg> !latest
[11:13] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[11:13] <dyrne> tck: its not like cups is an integral part of the environment or anything ;p

[11:15] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: i can see we have to take a step back.
[11:15] <hypn0> tck: there doesnt seem to be enough people for updates :-/
[11:15] <orbisvicis> kayzu, did you add glx under extensions
[11:15] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: open a console and type the following: "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list"
[11:15] <_switchcat_> Q: when you first install 7.04 it can grab other logins/accounts/home directories from other HDs.. how do you re-do this process if you add an old drive to your system? thanks.
[11:16] <orbisvicis> kayzu, also section composite
[11:16] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: now?
[11:16] <bjames> hi all, here's an interesting question for everyone (not all at once now) - I've just gutted my PC and basically just plugged the remaining hard drives into "new" hardware, turned it on and it "works".  Now what is the best way to configure all the new hardware it doesn't know about - network, sound, video?
[11:17] <bjames> anyone?
[11:17] <pauvre10m> bonjour
[11:17] <pauvre10m> vous conntriez une site pour recevoir de l'aide sur la conception de circuit inprimer
[11:17] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: did a text editor window open up with text in it?
[11:17] <kayzu> orbisvicis: uhm.. how do i do that? :)
[11:18] <pauvre10m> ho sorry
[11:18] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: yes
[11:18] <nimbo> hey, i've got a crypted root filesystem and recompiled a vanilla kernel. at boot prompt the kernel says that aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 isn't supported. any ideas?
[11:18] <DaveFr> bjames: to get the drivers for the devices that ubuntu did not recognize... and install them.
[11:18] <DaveFr> pauvre10m: quel rapport avec #ubuntu ?
[11:18] <bjames> DaveFr: how do I know if it recognised them or not?
[11:18] <Arno1407> Is it possible to configure a wlan with fixed ip and wpa? The only combinations I can find in the network-configurations are either dhcp with wpa (I don't want dhcp) or wep with fixed ip (and I don't want wep). Anyone??
[11:18] <bjames> video is working, but I suspect only VGA mode
[11:18] <orbisvicis> under section module, you need:
[11:18] <orbisvicis> 	Load		"glx"
[11:19] <orbisvicis> also
[11:19] <orbisvicis> Section "Extensions"
[11:19] <orbisvicis>    Option "Composite" "Enable"
[11:19] <orbisvicis> EndSection
[11:19] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: can you paste the content into pastebin? !pastebin

[11:19] <jussi_> can someone recommend an antivirus for ubuntu.. i have access to f-secure but dunno how to set it up
[11:20] <bjames> DaveFr - well the network connection doesn't work any more, despite the network card being almost identical

[11:22] <stefg> !antivirus
[11:22] <ubotu> antivirus is something you don't really need on Linux, unless you serve windows clients. ClamAV and aegis are decent linux virusscanners. Also see !linuxvirus
[11:22] <DaveFr> eolhyte: have you tried kstart ?
[11:22] <Optimus55> how do i install avant window navigator?
[11:22] <eolhyte> kstart ?
[11:22] <eolhyte> Ok I try it
[11:22] <W_McL> askand, I don't know... but if you release it under the GPL, you have to add a copy of the GPL

[11:24] <fatbrain> Hi, I installed Ubuntu on my USB device, why does it install a boot loader on my primary HDD? I want to explicitly tell my bios-boot-loader to boot from the USB device...

[11:25] <Roge> Can anyone tell me the package name to download the driver nvidia with apt-get ?
[11:25] <raf256> Hah, ubuntu totally sucks
[11:25] <raf256> it took several hours with help of meany people (thanks)
[11:25] <raf256> and still we are unable to reinstall apache2
[11:26] <raf256> on a fresh 7.04
[11:26] <The_Sorrow> hey guys
[11:26] <howlingmadhowie> quinton_ okay. i see the problem. can you add a # to the start of the first line with text and then save the file and close gedit?
[11:26] <Roge> my x server is broke on a fresh 7.04
[11:26] <dutch> hey, so if i wanted to know where a .deb package puts its files, where could i look?
[11:26] <JosefK> raf256, what problem ar eyou having?
[11:26] <Optimus55> Roge: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[11:26] <Roge> thankyou
[11:26] <raf256> JosefK: I delted /etc/apache2 and now I can reinstall apache2
[11:26] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: yeah
[11:27] <stefg> fatbrain: the alternate installer allows you to select where grub (the bootloader) gets installed to, Desktop defaults to MBR of first hd drive
[11:27] <The_Sorrow> I have a problem with vmware, it can't complete the installation, it gives a error
[11:27] <Roge> weird it didnt install that
[11:27] <Optimus55> Roge: np
[11:27] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: done
[11:27] <JosefK> raf256, and now you "can" or now you "can't"? If you can, I don't see how that's a problem
[11:27] <MikeRotch> hey
[11:27] <Optimus55> Roge: what happened?
[11:27] <MikeRotch> how do i login to root and change the permissions on ym HARD DISKS
[11:27] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: now in Synaptic click "refresh" and then try to install the same packages again
[11:27] <whazilla> hey dutch ?

[11:28] <dutch> whazilla: yes?
[11:28] <whazilla> can u help me ?
[11:28] <whazilla> i cant install ubuntu on this pc
[11:28] <JosefK> raf256, what commands have you already tried to reinstall it?
[11:28] <rafaelscj> I typed "sudo dd if:linux of=/dev/sda bs=446 count=1", It returned "I file or directory not existent". What should I do?
[11:28] <whazilla> it fails to recognise hard disk driver
[11:28] <dutch> whazilla: lol may i ask why you specifically requested my help?
[11:28] <howlingmadhowie> quinton_: or even better. just to be sure: shut synaptic and start the update manager. click "check for updates" and install any updates it may find
[11:28] <whazilla> cuz maybe i can help u ?.?
[11:29] <whazilla> once i get a debian clone
[11:29] <stefg> rafaelscj: read man dd and get the syntx straight
[11:29] <dutch> whazilla: oic. im at work now, so i'd love to help, but im jsut on for a quick tip if anyone knows
[11:29] <raf256> JosefK: aptitude install apache2 - it fails because It cant find /etc/apache2
[11:29] <MikeRotch> ANYONE...   how do i login to root and change the permissions on my HARD DISKS
[11:29] <whazilla> well anyhow
[11:29] <dutch> whazilla: i apologize :( good luck though
[11:29] <whazilla> have u read my private message ?
[11:29] <Jack_Sparrow> rafaelscj: what was that command supposed to do?
[11:29] <bill_> MikeRotch, what do you mean?
[11:29] <raf256> MikeRotch: use  sudo passwd root  to create a login into root
[11:29] <Pe3k> hello, I use kubuntu 6.06  and during boot process I see message like: "/media/hda7 has been mounted 30 times without being checked, checking is performed" more often than once per 30 boots; what could be reason? thanks
[11:29] <W_McL> MikeRotch, use sudo -s to become root permanently, or sudo in front of the commands you want to run as root
[11:29] <MikeRotch> like... on my extra drives... i can't delete nothing
[11:30] <askand> How do I check what is outputted in the terminal with a bashscript? How do I et acess to the stuff outputted so to speak..
[11:30] <whazilla> dutch have u seen the pm ?
[11:30] <JosefK> raf256, what does "dpkg -s apache2 | grep Status" say?
[11:30] <MikeRotch> because it tells me i have no permissions
[11:30] <cox377> can anyone recommend a lan scanner - just to scan the lan and tell the IP addresses of the machines on it?
[11:30] <MikeRotch> but then i go to change them
[11:30] <JanWinnicki> hello
[11:30] <MikeRotch> andit tells me i have noa ccess to them
[11:30] <MikeRotch> haha
[11:30] <stefg> !permissions
[11:30] <ubotu> The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[11:30] <bill_> MikeRotch, no access to what?
[11:30] <whazilla> stefg
[11:30] <whazilla> can u help ?
[11:30] <erUSUL> cox377: nmap ??
[11:30] <raf256> JosefK: g2g, bbl.. thanks
[11:30] <W_McL> MikeRotch, what filesystem do you have on those drives?
[11:30] <dutch> so can anyone tell me where it's documented where a .deb should put its files?
[11:31] <MikeRotch> bill_ dude...
[11:31] <cox377> erUSUL: can it do a lan scan?
[11:31] <MikeRotch> the hard drive files
[11:31] <JosefK> raf256, hmm, fine, there are a few ways to fix it if you're on later
[11:31] <whazilla> on livecd or on alternate it fails to recognize the hard drive tottally
[11:31] <bill_> like /dev/hda1?
[11:31] <erUSUL> dutch: the deb file itself contains that info afaik
[11:31] <MikeRotch> i can't do anyhting to them because i have no permissions... so i go to change eprmissions i have no acces... TO PERMISSIONS
[11:31] <MikeRotch> haha
[11:31] <whazilla> no partitions found etc
[11:31] <fatbrain> stefg: so, there's no way I can revert the grub haxx on my MBR and get it installed on the USB device without downloading/burning/reinstalling alternative?
[11:31] <MikeRotch> and i did sudo -s... same thing
[11:31] <dutch> erUSUL: cool ill check that thanks
[11:31] <whazilla> erUSUL how do i read a deb file ?
[11:31] <whazilla> from something like notepad ?
[11:31] <MikeRotch> i need to be able to change the permissions so i can delete files from inside the drive sasier
[11:31] <bill_> MikeRotch, what specific path are you trying to access?
[11:31] <howlingmadhowie> qunton_: then, once you've done that, open up synaptic and install the packages i mentioned (if you can still find the list)
[11:31] <whazilla> wher are they temp downloaded to ? are they stored ?
[11:32] <W_McL> MikeRotch, are the harddisks probably formatted with ntfs?
[11:32] <stefg> fatbrain: no.. you just need some manual tuning.
[11:32] <MikeRotch> yes they are ntfs i believe
[11:32] <stefg> !grub
[11:32] <ubotu> 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
[11:32] <MikeRotch> they come from windows storage
[11:32] <MikeRotch> so probably
[11:32] <rafaelscj> I typed "sudo dd if:linux of=/dev/sda bs=446 count=1", It returned "I file or directory not existent". What should I do?
[11:32] <Jack_Sparrow> whazilla: /var/cache/apt/archives
[11:32] <erUSUL> whazilla: what do you mean by "read"?
[11:32] <fatbrain> stefg: ok, thanks
[11:32] <MikeRotch> bill_ there is no specific path
[11:32] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: all finished
[11:32] <whazilla> on livecd or on alternate it fails to recognize the hard drive tottally ... nothing found it seems a locked hdd like with xbox ... i only got vista on it
[11:32] <whazilla> linux fails
[11:32] <MikeRotch> i just want permission to move stuff to rtash etc
[11:32] <W_McL> MikeRotch, ntfs write suport is not yet included in ubuntu by default
[11:32] <bill_> MikeRotch, like /media/somedisk ?
[11:32] <whazilla> any help ?
[11:32] <MikeRotch> i just want permission to move stuff to trash etc bill_
[11:33] <keito> anyone got openarena and avant both installed? after installing avant I can no longer play open-arena without avant running otherwise X freezes and it's a ctrl-alt-bkspc.  any ideas
[11:33] <MikeRotch> so W_McL there is now ay?
[11:33] <MikeRotch> no way*
[11:33] <erUSUL> rafaelscj: it seems that either the file linux or /dev/sda does not exist
[11:33] <howlingmadhowie> quinton_: everything installed as well using synaptic?
[11:33] <W_McL> MikeRotch, there are ways, but i'm not sure, if they're 100% safe yet
[11:33] <Jack_Sparrow> rafaelscj: what was that command supposed to do? What are you trying to do? if usually is followed by =
[11:33] <rafaelscj> erUSUL, I will try /dev/hda
[11:33] <daxxar> I'm having issues getting sound recording to work, and this is what I get for errors/warnings: http://p.caboo.se/82637
[11:33] <daxxar> Any suggestions?
[11:33] <whazilla> live cd loads after 2 hours spitting usb errors and hdd sector errors
[11:33] <Arno1407> MikeRotch: have you mounted the ntfs disks read-only?
[11:34] <MikeRotch> i dunno arno
[11:34] <MikeRotch> i guess
[11:34] <MikeRotch> but i can't change permissions
[11:34] <MikeRotch> even after i did sudo -s
[11:34] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: yes
[11:34] <ChuckFu_> what are the permission
[11:34] <dyrne> whazilla: ive never cared much for the livecd. all my systems are a little older and dont handle it well.
[11:34] <JosefK> raf256, in case you come back later, and with the usual caveats that dpkg --force-* is baad, mm'kay
[11:34] <ChuckFu_> I did a chmod 0755
[11:34] <whazilla> chown -R user:user /
[11:34] <erUSUL> rafaelscj: what are you doing seems very dangerous and it seems that you are shooting in the dark you may well totally destroy the partition table of your disk
[11:34] <the_elite_freak> anyone have any clue why I get this when I try to update Reading package lists... Error!

[11:34] <MikeRotch> and that's basically it
[11:34] <whazilla> do it as sudo
[11:34] <bill_> you probably just need to mount them with uid=youruid
[11:35] <MikeRotch> do what
[11:35] <whazilla> chown -R user:user /bla/bla
[11:35] <rafaelscj> Jack_Sparrow, I am trying to back mbr up
[11:35] <howlingmadhowie> quinton_: cool :) okay. enter Ctrl+Alt+F2. this should drop you to a console. log yourself in, then enter "sudo -i" and your password.
[11:35] <Jack_Sparrow> whazilla: Wrong command
[11:35] <JosefK> raf256, dpkg --force-confmiss -r apache2
[11:35] <whazilla> right command
[11:35] <JosefK> raf256, and then just reinstall apache2 and be more careful next time.
[11:35] <whazilla> chown to root

[11:40] <mahrellon> sg1ty0nb3, stop that pls.
[11:40] <JosefK> MikeRotch, find is a command, but the whole line (including \;) should be run - it'll check each file on the mounted drive and print the ids of processes using them
[11:41] <Arno1407> !ignore
[11:41] <ubotu> If you really don't wish to see the messages from a particular person on IRC, you can use /ignore nickname
[11:41] <rafaelscj> what does "Fack you!" mean?
[11:41] <MikeRotch> and i also use the last ; mark JosefK?
[11:41] <MikeRotch> find /media/sda1 -type f -exec fuser "{}" \;
[11:41] <MikeRotch> ?
[11:41] <JosefK> MikeRotch, yes
[11:41] <quinton_> howlingmadhowie: none are installed
[11:41] <compengi> rafaelscj, erm... nothing much :P
[11:41] <quinton_> howlingmadhowie: ones green though
[11:41] <MikeRotch> yea i guess it takes a minute
[11:41] <bjames> how do I auto-configure a new network card?
[11:41] <kismet> is there a way to open firefox with terminal (typing "firefox" just starts the browser i want it to be connected to the terminal as well)

[11:42] <Nowak> anyone know in what package ill find pthread man pages ?
[11:42] <JosefK> MikeRotch, that's good, it means none of the files are in use :)
[11:42] <Ice_Wewe> I'm running mozilla-thunderbird on 6.10, version 1.5.0.12, and I whenever I try to compose and send mail, I get the error, "Unable tyo save your message as draft. Error writing temporary file."
[11:42] <Ice_Wewe> I've already checked my disk usage, and my home drive isn't full
[11:42] <JosefK> MikeRotch, if it doesn't return anything, then you're probably trying to umount a path in your PWD
[11:42] <Ice_Wewe> the permissions are correct on my .mozilla-thunderbird directory
[11:42] <Ice_Wewe> and there is no update for thunderbird
[11:42] <MikeRotch> /media/sda1/FILES/E-Books/!Unsorted/alt.binaries.e-book.technical/Insiders Recipes Master Edition Cookbook.pdf:  6184  7318
[11:42] <howlingmadhowie> quinton: select remove on it and then apply the changes
[11:42] <MikeRotch> is what it said
[11:42] <MikeRotch> but i have't opened that in liek enevr on this system
[11:42] <Ice_Wewe> this happens with all my accounts that are managed by thunderbird
[11:43] <JosefK> MikeRotch, well there you go :) (and naughty you), it is open, by process id's 6184 and 7318
[11:43] <Ice_Wewe> ideas?
[11:43] <the_elite_freak> help...anyone?
[11:43] <stefg> Ice_Wewe: there's something wrong with your /tmp dir
[11:43] <jetole_> hey guys, is there a way to get a listing of all the software installed on a system, debian packages I mean
[11:43] <Ice_Wewe> stefg: ok, anything I can do to correct the problem?
[11:43] <askand> compengi: now its registered but still doesnt work :O
[11:43] <MikeRotch> how do i close it
[11:43] <MikeRotch> what are those porcesses
[11:43] <MikeRotch> processes*
[11:43] <JosefK> MikeRotch, try killing them nicely first (kill 6184 7318) - if that fails, force it with 'kill -9 6184 7318'
[11:43] <compengi> askand, did you login?
[11:43] <JosefK> MikeRotch, if you're interested, you could d 'ps -ef | grep process_id'
[11:44] <rafaelscj> The only thing that obstructed me to format c: (windows) is MS Office OneNote
[11:44] <Jack_Sparrow> erUSUL: Did you verify that dd command.. I very sure I had it right
[11:44] <askand> compengi: I used identify?
[11:44] <howlingmadhowie> quinton: while you're about it, can you make sure openssh-server and openssh-client are installed?
[11:44] <quinton_> howlingmadhowie: now?
[11:44] <MikeRotch> also i got this JosefK   it's still going so...
[11:44] <MikeRotch> Cannot stat file /proc/8670/fd/16: No such file or directory
[11:44] <W_McL> jetole_,  dpkg --get-selections lists the packages and their installation status
[11:44] <compengi> it should work then if you did askand
[11:44] <b4dpack3t> EHLO ^
[11:44] <stefg> Ice_Wewe: hmm... without further diagnosis you could boot to recovery and delete everything in /tmp (not /tmp itself)
[11:44] <erUSUL> Jack_Sparrow: yes, yours was right afaics
[11:44] <JosefK> MikeRotch, err.. if it's checking /proc, you can Ctl+C it now
[11:44] <askand> compengi: someone said somehing about +i?
[11:45] <whazilla> how do i run ubuntu in UML on vista from partitions ?
[11:45] <MikeRotch> oh ok thnks
[11:45] <howlingmadhowie> quinton_: well you don't have to. did you remove the software which was installed? (if the light is green, that means the software is installed on the system)
[11:45] <hispazone> please anybody can write me a link for spanish ubuntu
[11:45] <Jack_Sparrow> erUSUL: np.. would not intentionally mislead anyone
[11:45] <whazilla> a usb hdd will be the answer
[11:45] <quinton_> howlingmadhowie: yeah
[11:45] <Ice_Wewe> stefg: something filled up my root partition, I'm checking what did it
[11:45] <compengi> askand, received anything?
[11:45] <Ice_Wewe> stefg: yesterday I had 3.3GB free, now I have nothing
[11:45] <MikeRotch> ok josefK i dont think this makes since
[11:45] <MikeRotch> i did the command to tell processes
[11:45] <MikeRotch> mike     12575  9068  0 16:44 pts/0    00:00:00 grep process_id
[11:46] <MikeRotch> none of the numbers are the same
[11:46] <MikeRotch> haha
[11:46] <Ice_Wewe> stefg: is there a utility that will tell you what the most recent file writes have been?
[11:46] <hispazone> anybody know how come into ubuntu-es
[11:46] <howlingmadhowie> quinton: okay, apply all changes and quit synaptic. return to the console by entering Ctrl+Alt+F2
[11:46] <JosefK> MikeRotch, err... sorry Mike, you were supposed to replace 'process_id' with the ID of the processes returned from fuser
[11:46] <NickGarvey> hispazone: /j #ubuntu-es
[11:46] <MikeRotch> oh sorry =)
[11:46] <MikeRotch> i am new
[11:46] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: running console
[11:46] <hispazone> thanks
[11:46] <NickGarvey> de nada
[11:46] <JosefK> MikeRotch, ie. - ps -ef  | grep 6184
[11:47] <imperfect-> HI. I'm trying to get the nvidia driver I downloaded and built from nvidia.com to load automatically on bootup
[11:47] <imperfect-> For whatever reason ubuntu refuses to load the correct one
[11:47] <stefg> Ice_Wewe: ther is one for sure, but i don't know it :-)
[11:47] <imperfect-> it loads another one from god knows where and will not load X untill I modprove -r nvidia and then startx
[11:47] <howlingmadhowie> quinton: enter the following: "nano -w /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common"
[11:47] <imperfect-> It's really pissing me off
[11:47] <erUSUL> imperfect-: you must have instaled the ones in the repos
[11:48] <MikeRotch> it's being used by an indexing service that i thought i removed
[11:48] <MikeRotch> hahaha
[11:48] <erUSUL> imperfect-: nvidia-glx-* remove it
[11:48] <imperfect-> erUSUL: It's NOT there.
[11:48] <Ice_Wewe> does anyone know of a utility that will tell you what the most recently written files are on your system?
[11:48] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: ok done now?
[11:48] <MikeRotch> and then the secon number is just the number of the book i guess
[11:48] <imperfect-> erUSUL: It's a blank install... and I downloaded the .run from NVIDIA.. and I look in volative and nvidia_new is there
[11:48] <howlingmadhowie> imperfect: add some entries to /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common under "DISABLED_MODULES"
[11:48] <JosefK> MikeRotch, I thought it'd be something like that - just 'kill -9 6184'
[11:48] <JosefK> MikeRotch, no, the second number is another process id, but it was probably the 'find' command we were using
[11:48] <Ice_Wewe> stefg: I know what app filled it up, I just can't find where it put the cr*p
[11:48] <imperfect-> It's pissing me off like nobodies business
[11:49] <rafaelscj> If I upgrad a "LTS" to a "non-LTS", what will be the kind of suport?
[11:49] <erUSUL> !language | imperfect-
[11:49] <ubotu> imperfect-: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[11:49] <JosefK> MikeRotch, after you've killed it, make sure you've got no terminals open anywhere in /media/sda1 and try umounting it again
[11:49] <howlingmadhowie> quinton_: use the arrow keys to scroll down the file until you read the line starting with DISABLED_MODULES. it should just contain two quotes with nothing between them. change the line to read: DISABLED_MODULES="nv nvidia_new"
[11:49] <stefg> Ice_Wewe: the 'du' command helps, or there's even a gui app for that in accessories
[11:49] <imperfect-> welp
[11:49] <imperfect-> I added nv
[11:49] <whazilla> JosefK i got some prob as MikeRotch
[11:49] <imperfect-> lets see what happens
[11:49] <whazilla> no hdd found
[11:49] <whazilla> what do i do ?
[11:50] <howlingmadhowie> quinton: save the file with ctrl+O and then quit the text editor with ctrl+X
[11:50] <compengi> imperfect-, it's better not to compile nvidia driver, if you don't know what you are doing
[11:50] <JosefK> whazilla, eek, that doesn't sound quite like what I'm working through now with Mike (I was just sorting out his umount problem)
[11:50] <Jack_Sparrow> Ice_Wewe: the places find can find files larger than any defined size..
[11:50] <JosefK> whazilla, sorry, but I don't have the time to go through something as complex as that now :(
[11:50] <Ice_Wewe> anyone?! A utility to tell me where wine stuck all it's tmp files? (not in /tmp)
[11:50] <Ice_Wewe> Jack_Sparrow: places find?
[11:50] <MikeRotch> sweet man
[11:50] <MikeRotch> it is all fixed
[11:50] <MikeRotch> thanks alot JosefK
[11:50] <MikeRotch> and the rest
[11:50] <Ice_Wewe> Jack_Sparrow: keep in mind I can't install any new programs till I find this stuff and delete it
[11:50] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: type reboot?
[11:50] <MikeRotch> whoever showed me that website
[11:50] <MikeRotch> haha
[11:51] <Jack_Sparrow> Ice_Wewe: pull down menu.. places.. then find.. then options
[11:51] <JosefK> MikeRotch, np's
[11:51] <Ice_Wewe> Jack_Sparrow: this in gnome?
[11:51] <whazilla> MikeRotch what site ?
[11:51] <Jack_Sparrow> Ice_Wewe: yes
[11:51] <whazilla> MikeRotch what site ?
[11:51] <MikeRotch> to mount
[11:51] <rafaelscj> If I upgrad a "LTS" to a "non-LTS", what kind of suport will I have?
[11:51] <Jack_Sparrow> Ice_Wewe: places..search..
[11:51] <kahrytan> Who wants to see my lastest desktop look?
[11:51] <MikeRotch> ntfs-config
[11:51] <whazilla> sh!ow me
[11:51] <MikeRotch> website
[11:51] <Ice_Wewe> Jack_Sparrow: nautilus, or gnome menu?
[11:51] <Ice_Wewe> Jack_Sparrow: I'm in E17... so gnome stuff is harder
[11:51] <whazilla> show me ?
[11:52] <howlingmadhowie> quinton_: nope. one more configuration and then you have to install the driver
[11:52] <MikeRotch> yea i am on it
[11:52] <MikeRotch> 1 sec
[11:52] <whazilla> :)
[11:52] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: okey so i hit... ctrl + f7 ?
[11:52] <Ice_Wewe> Jack_Sparrow: what command is it actually running?
[11:52] <howlingmadhowie> quinton_: (nvidia could really do with making this easier)
[11:52] <NickGarvey> rafaelscj: same support, just won't last until 2010 like dapper
[11:52] <imperfect-> adding nv to that /etc/default file didn't help.
[11:52] <Jack_Sparrow> Ice_Wewe: Sorry, I thought this was Ubuntu..
[11:52] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: I agree
[11:52] <MikeRotch> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions/ThirdPartyNTFS3Ghttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions/ThirdPartyNTFS3G
[11:52] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: not yet. enter "/etc/init.d/gdm stop"
[11:52] <MikeRotch> sh*t my bad
[11:52] <wolfe> the accessibility support in GNOME is terrible
[11:53] <MikeRotch> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions/ThirdPartyNTFS3Ghttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions/ThirdPartyNTFS3G
[11:53] <wolfe> how can I turn it all off?
[11:53] <imperfect-> Anyone at all have any clue how I make it stop loading this fscking driver?
[11:53] <MikeRotch> jesus christ
[11:53] <MikeRotch> i paste it once and it does it twice
[11:53] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: done
[11:53] <MikeRotch> f it
[11:53] <wolfe> it is preventing any applications which use Wx to start
[11:53] <whazilla> MikeRotch thkx man
[11:53] <wolfe> I get a GTK Accessibility Module initialized
[11:53] <wolfe> GTK Accessibility Module initialized
[11:53] <superjedi> how do I use fakeing it in amsn
[11:53] <wolfe> and it hangs after those two lines
[11:53] <rafaelscj> NickGarvey, thanks
[11:53] <MikeRotch> haha welcome
[11:53] <Ice_Wewe> Jack_Sparrow: this is Ubuntu, E17 is a window manager
[11:53] <Arno1407> !logout
[11:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about logout - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:53] <georgy28> imperfect : what do you wanna do ?
[11:53] <Jack_Sparrow> Ice_Wewe: I know what e17 is... thanks..
[11:54] <kahrytan> Anyone want to see my new desktop?
[11:54] <howlingmadhowie> imperfect: is it in /etc/modules ?
[11:54] <imperfect-> howlingmadhowie : yes!
[11:54] <howlingmadhowie> imperfect: then take it out!
[11:54] <imperfect-> howlingmadhowie: it keeps loading the old fscking version each time
[11:54] <hispazone> pleaaaseeeee help me with ati radeon x700 and composite!!!!
[11:54] <superjedi> how do I use fakeing it in amsn
[11:54] <imperfect-> howlingmadhowie : I've done it BOTH ways!
[11:54] <Ice_Wewe> Jack_Sparrow: there is no utility I can use via xterm to find directories in / above 1GB?
[11:54] <imperfect-> and no matter what I fscking do
[11:54] <imperfect-> It loads the wrong version
[11:54] <Ice_Wewe> I'm gonna kill those idiots at transgaming
[11:54] <rafaelscj> kahrytan, show me
[11:54] <Ice_Wewe> cedega sucks...
[11:55] <Arno1407> Is there a command to leave a chat? I'm not really experienced in chats :)
[11:55] <imperfect-> so I have to rmmod nvidia; modprobe nvidia
[11:55] <imperfect-> and then it works. It's the stupidest thing ever
[11:55] <howlingmadhowie> quinton_: "sh NVIDIA*"
[11:55] <Arno1407> or do you just close the client?
[11:55] <MikeRotch> arno i think /quit   works
[11:55] <Jack_Sparrow> Ice_Wewe: You might try running live cd?
[11:55] <Ice_Wewe> Jack_Sparrow: that will do what?
[11:55] <Jack_Sparrow> Ice_Wewe: I am not much of a cli guy
[11:55] <imperfect-> It's totally driving me up a wall
[11:55] <howlingmadhowie> imperfect: you could try deleting the old driver from the system in synaptic
[11:55] <Arno1407> MikeRotch: I'll give it a spin. Thx! :)
[11:55] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: no matching precompiled kernel
[11:56] <Jack_Sparrow> Ice_Wewe: Give you access to the search function for files over 1 gig
[11:56] <imperfect-> howlingmadhowie : It's part of linux-modules-generic or whatever
[11:56] <hispazone> please help with ati radeon x700 and composite
[11:56] <superjedi> how do I use faking it in amsn?
[11:56] <howlingmadhowie> quinton: don't worry about that
[11:56] <TiMiDo> hey how long does the shipping takes?
[11:56] <imperfect-> howlingmadhowie : How the hell do you get it to use that driver he's building on bootup?!?!?!
[11:56] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: it fails the instalation
[11:56] <MikeRotch> oooooops
[11:56] <MikeRotch> hahaha
[11:56] <Gizmo_the_Great> Hi. I atrying to run a JAVA app on Feisty. But t says 'The version of the JVM must be at least 1.5. Please define INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME to point to a suitable JVM.' How do I do this?
[11:57] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: im back at root@ubuntu:~#
[11:57] <JosefK> Gizmo_the_Great, install sun-java6-jre
[11:57] <superjedi> Can anybody help me with amsn?
[11:57] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: what does it say when it fails? it should first offer to download a kernel from nvidia.org
[11:57] <imperfect-> Am I just screwed?
[11:57] <sleeves_> can i ask a question about linux terminal server project?
[11:57] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: it did and it couldnt find one
[11:57] <kahrytan> rafaelscj: did you get the screenshot?
[11:57] <blue-frog> when my usb HDD is automounted, it gets the following in mtab ext3 rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev, but right now my user (install created user) cannot write to the HDD, any idea?
[11:57] <rafaelscj> superjedi, I don't like aMsn :)
[11:57] <imperfect-> Cuz I'm ready to throw this box.
[11:58] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: and then what did it do? it shoudl offer to build the correct interface to the kernel itself
[11:58] <imperfect->  It shouldn't be this fucking difficult to install a driver.
[11:58] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: nope
[11:58] <rafaelscj> kahrytan, yes, It's nice
[11:58] <Gizmo_the_Great> JosefK, thanks - I am trying that now.
[11:58] <MikeRotch> GAIM and PidGin and others

[11:58] <ThanatosDrive> So MIDI doesn't work. And CS has...issues.
[11:59] <PriceChild> imperfect-, silly question.. why're you compiling it yourself?
[11:59] <PriceChild> the_elite_freak, download it again
[11:59] <AbuAnsar> hi
[11:59] <imperfect-> PriceChild : XvMC.
[11:59] <AbuAnsar> how r u?
[11:59] <howlingmadhowie> quinton: what does it do after it fails to find a kernel on nvidia.org?
[11:59] <the_elite_freak> Pricechild - when I try I get an error E: Unable to parse package file /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_feisty-security_multiverse_binary-i386_Packages (1)
[11:59] <PriceChild> imperfect-, ?
[11:59] <the_elite_freak> E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
[11:59] <Looie__> hi everyone
[11:59] <imperfect-> The driver it's loading, looks like it's coming from the volatile directory
[11:59] <hispazone> join #ubuntu-es
[11:59] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: yeah... then it says it couldnt find one to match
[11:59] <PriceChild> the_elite_freak, sudo apt-get update, and then try again
[11:59] <ThanatosDrive> AbuAnsar: We're good. How can we help?
[11:59] <imperfect-> Is there a way to get that to stop from loading?
[11:59] <howlingmadhowie> quinton_: and then?
[11:59] <the_elite_freak> k brb
[11:59] <bjames> ok, so I've fixed my sound and network problems, can someone point me towards a tutorial for installing nvidia drivers for older cards (MX440)
[11:59] <bjames> ?
[11:59] <PriceChild> imperfect-, which is where it is meant to come from.... what's wrong with that?
[11:59] <bjames> please
[12:00] <PriceChild> bjames, system > admin > restricted driver manager
[12:00] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: ok it goes exactly like this.... it goes through a licence agreement so i accept...
[12:00] <Looie__> right. can I run Ubuntu 6.10 on a 64mb VPS (no GUI)?
[12:00] <the_elite_freak> pricechild - goes through alot more but at the end gives me the same error about parsing that multiverse file
[12:00] <imperfect-> PriceChild: The default one is there. Not the one I built.
[12:00] <AbuAnsar> test
[12:00] <Ice_Wewe> Jack_Sparrow: I still *have* gnome
[12:00] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton: okay, continue :)
[12:00] <bjames> PriceChild: cheers
[12:00] <rafaelscj> kahrytan, I have installed it but...
[12:00] <AbuAnsar> ThanatosDrvive, i need help with /dev/rfcomm0
[12:00] <AbuAnsar> can you help me?
[12:00] <PriceChild> the_elite_freak, pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list please
[12:00] <PriceChild> imperfect-, why are you building it yourself?
[12:00] <rafaelscj> kahrytan, I prefer GAIM
[12:00] <roger_> is there anyway to turn up the DPI in linux
[12:00] <kahrytan> rafaelscj: I will NEVER use Vista
[12:00] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: no precompiled kernel matched your kernel would you like installer to attempt to find from nvidia ftp site? and yes!
[12:00] <the_elite_freak> pricechild - pastebin?
[12:00] <imperfect-> XvMC!!!
[12:01] <ThanatosDrive> AbuAnsar: No, but I'm sure someone else can. I'm fairly new to Ubuntu myself =/
[12:01] <PriceChild> !paste > the_elite_freak (see the pm from ubotu)
[12:01] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: okay. and then?
[12:01] <PriceChild> imperfect-, what is that?
