[12:04] <Jordan_U> GoodHabit, It's the only reason I use ext2 with FreeBSD :)
[12:04] <MikeTheC> Got a question about using a D-Link DWL-122 on Feisty/PPC... I've read the documentation and it basically seems like the device is up and running, but I cannot get it to connect to my wireless router.
[12:05] <Pici> Keule|On: Probably by deleting your ~/.compiz or ~/.beryl directories
[12:05] <Jordan_U> MikeTheC, What chipset?
[12:05] <Yendor> My wireless network card is suddenly showing eth0 "no wireless extensions." when I attempt "iwconfig"... I lost my wireless connection, can you help me please?
[12:05] <mycroftiv> cailen: not sure exactly what your usage context is, but rsync + cron jobs ought to sync what you want, when you want
[12:05] <mauri> someone can elp me with my webcam
[12:05] <GoodHabit> Jordan_U: So FreeBSD using ext2 ok? How about ext3?
[12:05] <shwouchk> bulmer: well, that's what I said earlier but I guess it wasn't clear enough... anyway, do you know how I can acheive what I'm attempting?
[12:05] <Ashfire908> could someone help me with ntfsresize? it keeps gving me "ERROR: Extended record needed (1032 > 1024), not yet supported!"
[12:05] <loca|> anyone know a good way to patch my iptables to get the l7 patch ? i need to block skype with iptables
[12:05] <bulmer> shwouchk: why must the client have to have same ip address (domainwise) as the nic1 of the server?
[12:06] <Cailen> mycroftiv, i have a windows mobile phone i just need a way to access the files on it when i attach it to my usb port
[12:06] <Usrl_> my Package Installer froze, how can I close it?
[12:06] <gnuskool> discworld, look in alsamixer, make sure your capture is on, volume up, mute is unmuted etc
[12:06] <mycroftiv> cailen: oh, sorry, no idea how to communicate with windows mobile OS :(
[12:06] <MikeTheC> Jordan_U: Should be a Prism chipset...
[12:06] <Cailen> hahaha
[12:06] <Cailen> thanx
[12:06] <GoodHabit> Jordan_U: What r u thinking about? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/edgy/+package/ufs-modules-2.6.17-10-generic-di
[12:07] <Sergemine> I am having a problem  that the printer-driver-deb-package that contains my printer's driver is very old in Feisty - December 2006, the Gusty deb-package of the driver is MUCH newer - August 2007/ IS THERE A WAY TO FORCE  dpkg / or apt-get to instal the newer incompatible with this release version???
[12:07] <Cailen> does anyone know how i can get my windows mobile phone connected to my computer through active sync or any other way?
[12:07] <Jordan_U> GoodHabit, Maybe I am wrong, I hope I am :)
[12:07] <nathan___> wow gnome-look.org has a microsoft ad on it
[12:07] <GoodHabit> Jordan_U: Cuz it is a real problem.
[12:07] <Jordan_U> nathan__, Microsoft puts adds on a lot of Linux sites
[12:07] <GoodHabit> I am tired to search good solution.
[12:07] <Usrl_> my Package Installer froze, how can I close it?
[12:08] <Pelo> Usrl_, synaptic ?
[12:08] <Gosha> What happens if sudo does sudo? :O
[12:08] <GoodHabit> Usrl_: sudo top  .Then write kill (IDnumber)
[12:08] <BrendanW_> So I got Ubuntu to work, kind of... by using the startup option "run xclient script"
[12:08] <skinnypuppy1334> Whats out there for doing screen capture video?
[12:08] <BrendanW_> What did that do?
[12:08] <Usrl_> Pelo: Package installer
[12:08] <nikom2> I wish there was a way to use mac programs on Linux :(
[12:08] <bulmer> shwouchk: in that case, if you'd like nic 1 and nic 2 of the server to be on same subnet domain..you can make the server act in bridge mode
[12:08] <Cailen> does anyone know how i can access my tmobile dash running on windows mobile six on my computer???
[12:08] <skyfalcon866> is ubuntu bleeding edge
[12:08] <Pelo> Usrl_, alt+f2   type  xkill   use the mouse to click on the app you want to close
[12:08] <gnuskool> usrl,xkill
[12:08] <discworld> gnuskool, yea they are, but like, when I open the GSR, it tells me to choose some "REcord from input" thing but when I open the tab there's nothing there so it records like.. nothing.  And when I press "new" it sais : "Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the Multimedia settings."
[12:09] <Cailen> i need to access some files on it
[12:09] <Usrl_> GoodHabit: and I don't see it on top or system monitor
[12:09] <vlt> gnuskool: No, it's not logged to /var/log/messages
[12:09] <Jordan_U> GoodHabit, It may be that read support is available but no write, which is useless for me but might help for you
[12:09] <vlt> Where is the boot output logged to when BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=YES in /etc/default/bootlogd and /var/log/boot is empty?
[12:09] <Usrl_> thanks
[12:09] <mycroftiv> usrl_: if you kill your package manager you will need to clear out the lock file it creates also
[12:09] <discworld> gnuskool, and i don't raely no what that means :/
[12:09] <BrendanW_> What does "run xclient script" do?
[12:09] <Usrl_> dammit
[12:09] <shwouchk> bulmer: either I wasn't clear enough or I didn't understand what you meant. not the same IP, just on the same network... I've read about bridge mode and it is close to what I need, except that from what I read the bridge cannot be contacted from the outside world by it's IP..
[12:09] <Pelo> Usrl_, ?
[12:09] <GoodHabit> Jordan_U: Actually, I am searching a full supported fs by both of os's.
[12:09] <Usrl_> accidently killed my panel ><
[12:10] <Yendor> How can I please reintall the drivers for Intel wireless 3945ABG please
[12:10] <discworld> pelo, wha?

[12:10] <gnuskool> vit, not sure what it could be sorry
[12:10] <Pelo> Usrl_, panels are auto reload
[12:10] <gnuskool> discworld,  can yyou hear sound?
[12:10] <Cailen> is there an active sync equivalent for ubuntu so i can connect my phone to my computer????
[12:10] <Pelo> discworld, well, apparently I donT' have the correct reference for your nick
[12:10] <Ashfire908> I'm on the livecd and the system won't let me unmount a drive because "Another application is preventing" it from unmounting
[12:10] <BrendanW_> Does anybody know what "running the xclient" script does?
[12:10] <MikeB> what is the wiki page that tell you how to report a sound bug
[12:11] <discworld> gnuskool, yea I can listen to music and stuff but it won't record anything
[12:11] <skyfalcon866> i am going to try out pclinuxos
[12:11] <mycroftiv> cailen: first you should research what file system windows mobile uses, then look at available tools for working with that file system.
[12:11] <Pelo> Ashfire908, which drive are you trying to unmount ?
[12:11] <gnuskool> Ashfire908: what you unmounting?
[12:11] <discworld> pelo, I don't know what you mean :/
[12:11] <Jordan_U> GoodHabit, ext2 ( ext3 is backwards compatible with ext2, so BSD can read and write to it but can't use the journaling features )
[12:11] <Keule|On> is it possible to reset all the beryl or compiz stuff?
[12:11] <Yendor> How can I please resintall the drivers for Intel wireless 3945ABG please?
[12:11] <skinnypuppy1334> brendan I am going to take a guess it can be edited to connect to another X server
[12:11] <bulmer> shwouchk: well lots of things i mentioned you probably didnt understand..draw pictures and label the ip you wanted...then pastebin it so i will comment
[12:11] <mauri> someone can elp me with my webcam

[12:12] <Cailen> just wondering if there was an active sync for ubuntu so i could try and delete those files, mycroftiv
[12:12] <Pelo> Usr1, you can only run one install app at a time
[12:12] <Usr1> Pelo: And your point? I need to know how to unlock dpkg.
[12:12] <GoodHabit> Usr1: I don't think what that is good idea.
[12:13] <discworld> pelo, oh, I love the books aswell :))
[12:13] <narothepharoh> pelo whats up?
[12:13] <vlt> narothepharoh: What hardware?
[12:13] <Pelo> Usr1, what do you mean by unlock ?
[12:13] <Pelo> hello narothepharoh

[12:13] <Pelo> discworld,  so I did have your nick right
[12:13] <narothepharoh> vlt what do you mean
[12:13] <Jordan_U> smfenn, Can you post a screenshot?
[12:13] <discworld> pelo, yea ^^
[12:13] <vlt> narothepharoh: cpu, chipset, nic ...
[12:13] <narothepharoh> hardware for what
[12:14] <Pelo> Usr1, just in case his si what you are talking about,   you need to run dpkg as root , so    sudo dpkg .....
[12:14] <Ashfire908> i'm trying to unmount a drive and umount keeps saying it's in use when it's not.
[12:14] <DM|> This isnt really a ubuntu question, but yeah.... How do i run an app through terminal using cxoffice ( the crossover channel isnt answering)
[12:14] <Usr1> Pelo: I'm not an idiot.

[12:14] <smfenn> jordon_U: i can take a photo of it, it's on a different computer you see that doesn't have internet access yet.
[12:14] <Pelo> Usr1, nothing idiotic about it,  the skill level on this channel varies quite a bit
[12:15] <vlt> narothepharoh: I your ubuntu running on hardware?
[12:15] <Ashfire908> Pelo: one is ntfs the other is fat32
[12:15] <pbureau> Hello to all

[12:16] <narothepharoh> vlt how do i find chipset?
[12:16] <Pici> Usr1: Watch the language, What is giving you the error that it is locked?
[12:16] <Pelo> Ashfire908, if noting is using them , try rebooting from the live cd and unmounting first thing when you get the desktop
[12:16] <Usr1> Jordon_U: At this point, the only person who actually knew what they were talking about isn't responding, so I'm going to google.
[12:16] <Poul^Laptop> following this http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3203601&postcount=4   but getting "no precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel" from the nvidia installer? any hints?

[12:17] <Keule|On> can someone tell me what the problem is?

[12:17] <Keule|On> NOOOO!
[12:17] <narothepharoh> vlt are you there?
[12:17] <Pelo> Sergemine, when you get the dependencies not met message,  open up synaptic and look for the dependencies in there,  then close gdebi before seenting the install on synaptic
[12:17] <Jordan_U> Usr1, From the posts I have seen you havn't given enough information to be sure, but I think I know what the problem is and expect many people here know how to solve it. What is giving you the error that dpkg is locked?
[12:17] <Cailen> cane anyone tell me how i can access my phone on my usb cable on ubuntu?
[12:18] <Pelo> Keule|On, ask a question , don't paste a link with no background info

[12:18] <Usr1> Jordon_U any package manager.
[12:18] <pbureau> Cailen, what phone make/model
[12:18] <BrendanW_> Ugh... I hate Ubuntu sometimes!
[12:18] <Cailen> pbureau, it is the tboile dash or excaliber
[12:18] <Cailen> either one
[12:18] <riaal_> where can I find vsftpd's logfile?

[12:19] <Keule|On> Pelo: i asked
[12:19] <Jordan_U> Usr1, Ok, do you have any other package managers open ( you can't run two at once ) ?
[12:19] <Keule|On> and that 100000 times the last hour
[12:19] <Ticklemonster> brendan, if you tried using linux 9 years ago, you'd see how much better things have become. it's getting better since 3 years ago, too. STick with it
[12:19] <narothepharoh> pelo can you help me
[12:19] <Usr1> Jordon_U: And again, I'm not an idiot. The problem is that the one froze.
[12:19] <Keule|On> i have a problem with compiz.real!
[12:19] <mindframe-> will the system automatically create /sys if its not there at boot?
[12:19] <Pelo> Keule|On, this is a high trafic channel,  sometimes you need to ask a few times
[12:19] <riaal_> Pelo: stdin what is it called?
[12:19] <mycroftiv> cailen: maybe synce is what you are looking for, synce-kde for instance is a "PC / Windows CE connection service application" but no clue how easy it is to setup or if it fulfills your needs. Fundamentally you just need to be able to mount the phone's file system read/write and you should then be able to do what you want with the files.
[12:19] <Pelo> narothepharoh,  I dna't you haven'T asked a question
[12:19] <Keule|On> i asked an i am marked as a spammer!

[12:20] <Pici> Keule|On: I suggest you ask your question in #ubuntu-effects or #compiz-fusion
[12:20] <Jordan_U> Usr1, What is the output of "sudo lsof | grep /var/lib/dpkg/lock" ?
[12:20] <Pelo> Keule|On,  you posted a link ,  donT' post a link ask a question

[12:27] <livingdaylight> i need some help although it is not directly ubuntu related
[12:27] <Pici> Keule|On: I suggested removing ~/.compiz and ~/.beryl and also asking in #ubuntu-effects and #compiz-fusion
[12:27] <livingdaylight> i got an external 2.5 usb hard drive which i want to format so i can use it to backup and store /home partition etc
[12:27] <pbureau> Cailen Tmobile doesnt manufacture any phones... check tmobile web site maybe you can figure out whom makes the phone

[12:27] <Ashfire908> pelo: can i lock a drive to be umounted
[12:27] <Jordan_U> livingdaylight, Have you tried Gparted?
[12:27] <livingdaylight> do i use mkfs somehow?
[12:27] <ninjabooty> I was running freebsd on it and when I'd shutdown the CPU fan would tac really high and I couldn't boot
[12:27] <echronicle> hello everyone
[12:27] <livingdaylight> Jordan_U, no
[12:27] <Keule|On> removing is rubbish and asking to other guys in other channels... is what i did
[12:28] <Keule|On> thanx
[12:28] <vlt> narothepharoh: Ethernet device
[12:28] <echronicle> I just installed ubuntu as a dual boot partition on my pc, which was already running xp... but I think I lost xp.  Is there a way I can be sure whether I did or not?
[12:28] <bulmer> shwouchk: also why must it be dhcp client when you only have one there? it can be setup for static ip
[12:28] <loca|> anyone know a good way to patch my iptables to get the l7 patch ? i need to block skype with iptables
[12:28] <Cailen> pbureau, ok hold on
[12:28] <livingdaylight> Jordan_U, gparted can format an external hd i got attached via usb?
[12:28] <christoffernors> If i by mistake have installed some additional package that controls the thinkpad key bindings, how do i make gnome the default controller again? So that gnome have control over these keys again?

[12:28] <dispraekailo> Are there any particular things I should watch out for when upgrading to gusty, or can I follow the feisty upgrade instructions replacing each iteration of 'feisty' with 'gusty'?
[12:28] <Jordan_U> Keule|On, What do you mean by "removing is rubbish" ?
[12:28] <shwouchk> bulmer: because it's not a computer and I can't setup networking in any way I want
[12:29] <Jordan_U> livingdaylight, Yes
[12:29] <vlt> narothepharoh: That shouls work fine
[12:29] <pbureau> Cailen,  I know I sound like a stubborn guy, But I have worked for samsung, cingular and tmobile, and bell canada, and I know the providers BUY the phones from someone....lol
[12:29] <Ashfire908> echronicle: it sould be a choice at startup in grub
[12:29] <Cailen> pbureau it is htc or high tech corporation that manufactures the phone for tmobile
[12:29] <pbureau> Cailen,  AH!
[12:29] <Keule|On> i wanna use compiz an it worked
[12:29] <vlt> narothepharoh: How is the cdrw connected?
[12:29] <echronicle> Asfire908 - when I restarted from ubuntu, it just loaded linux automatically
[12:29] <echronicle> no choice
[12:29] <Poul^Laptop> what do i do about this error from the nvidia installer "no precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel"
[12:29] <Keule|On> bud i did some things in the options... and maybe its the reason why compiz crashes
[12:29] <pbureau> Cailen, okay are you a registered member on this network ?
[12:29] <echronicle> Ashfire98 - it didn't even have a grub startup menu
[12:29] <Jordan_U> Poul^Laptop, Any reason you aren't using the Restricted Driver Manager
[12:29] <pbureau> Cailen,  to take it in private easier
[12:30] <Jordan_U> ?
[12:30] <Ashfire908> echronicle: did you tell it not to install grub?
[12:30] <Cailen> pbureau no i have cingular
[12:30] <Keule|On> Jordan_U: do you understand?
[12:30] <Jordan_U> Keule|On, What do you mean by "removing is rubbish" ?
[12:30] <vlt> Hello. Any idea why my Ubuntu boots to runlevel UNKNOWN oly and I have to run `telinit 3` (sic) first?
[12:30] <echronicle> Ashfire908: no
[12:30] <Jordan_U> Keule|On, Yes
[12:30] <bulmer> shwouchk: there are some trickery you have to do, one of them is proxy arping, then bridging..but why go through all this trouble? why not wire it directly to same subnet as AA?
[12:30] <Flare183> Does any body know how to make cxoffice install the "menu" part into kde's "K Menu"?
[12:30] <echronicle> Ashfire908: this is the first time I've installed linux, so it's very possible that I did something wrong when partitioning and lost everything
[12:30] <pbureau> Cailen lets take this backwards, have you connected to your phone using windows ?
[12:31] <mycroftiv> echronicle: if you want to make sure your windows install is still there, start up gparted and look to see if there is an NTFS partition still on your drive
[12:31] <echronicle> Ashfire908: I chose the "guided partition" option, but not the one that said "use full disk"
[12:31] <Ashfire908> i assume you are in ubuntu. open /boot/grub/menu.lst
[12:31] <booster> hey guys.....can someone tell me how to upgrade from ndiswrapper 1.22 to 1.47....im a real noob with the terminal
[12:32] <echronicle> okay, mycroftiv and ashfire908
[12:32] <Jordan_U> Keule|On, Someone suggested to you earlier to try renaming the folders ~/.compiz and ~/.beryl, have you done that?
[12:32] <Ashfire908> echronicle: paste everything in there to the pastebin
[12:32] <Flare183> Does any body know how to make cxoffice install the "menu" part into kde's "K Menu"?
[12:32] <Keule|On> i did
[12:32] <echronicle> Ashfire908 - ok, one second
[12:32] <Ashfire908> mycroftiv: gparted is not installed by default
[12:32] <echronicle> how do I open up menu.lst?
[12:32] <Ashfire908> gedit
[12:32] <echronicle> ok
[12:32] <Jordan_U> Keule|On, If that did not work then it is not a problem with your preferences
[12:32] <Ashfire908> or just double click
[12:32] <Keule|On> Jordan_U: its a problem of the compiz.real and i dont know what to do
[12:32] <Keule|On> hmmm what else?
[12:32] <Cailen> pbureau, still there?

[12:37] <gnuskool> Ashfire908: which partition u wanna partition or what you wanna do?
[12:37] <Poul^Laptop> Jordan_U, igot a 8800 and what i see is that others have problem with it also
[12:37] <Jordan_U> livingdaylight, It probably just needs to be unmounted
[12:37] <mauri> someone can elp me with my webcam
[12:37] <Poul^Laptop> Jordan_U, but do you know what the error means i posted=
[12:37] <nikom2> I Just downloaded from site, it's the only version there

[12:39] <Pici> Crell: dpkg -L /path/to/file
[12:39] <mycroftiv> cyrus25801: tried #apache? probably better help there than here, I'd assume
[12:39] <Jordan_U> Poul^Laptop, Is there any other output?
[12:39] <kitche> Poul^Laptop, not an error just means you have to compile your own kernel interface
[12:39] <livingdaylight> Jordan_U, cool, i right clicked on it and now the lock is gone and it is saying i can do stuff...
[12:39] <Cyrus25801> mycroftiv: thanx
[12:39] <Crell> Pici: Thanks.
[12:39] <Poul^Laptop> Jordan_U, nope. But i can try the system admi -> restricted driver manger again if you will assist me for a bit if it go wronge again?

[12:40] <echronicle> Absolutely!, aye, skipper :)
[12:40] <Crell> Pici: Or not.  That tells me package /path/to/file is not installed.
[12:40] <ipx1> Just so you know scguy318 and I successfully connected a linksys card to a laptop.  Mind you -- this card has no support (except maybe for wiki) so if the ops here don mind I wanna thank scguy318 for his help.
[12:40] <nikom2> Round and round we go
[12:40] <non|inear> if someone gives me an .rpm or .deb that was compiled on their comp, can the packages on their comp become dependencies to the package?  i.e., if i compiled myself can i avoid dependencies like libc6 etxc???
[12:40] <echronicle> Okay, now that I'm back in business... could someone send me the link for the pastebin again, pls?

[12:43] <capitalidea> alsactl version 1.0.14rc4
[12:43] <nikom2> I like how simple it is to get missing stuff on Ubuntu :)
[12:43] <skinnypuppy1334> If you are adding partition in Gparted make sure to click in the empty space before trying to create
[12:43] <Jordan_U> livingdaylight, np
[12:44] <kitche> Poul^Laptop, install the linux source for your running kernel maybe the headers would work also but I know it works with the source then yu should be bale to compile your own kerenl interface
[12:44] <Ashfire908> echronicle: did you back up windows?
[12:44] <livingdaylight> if i want to use this external usb hd for storage backup how would you suggest i set it up?
[12:44] <capitalidea> scguy318: I just want the regular Ubuntu alsa back
[12:44] <echronicle> Ashfire908:  my important files and folders, yes
[12:44] <echronicle> why, did I lose it all?
[12:44] <echronicle> :|
[12:44] <Yendor> System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager, Can I access through Konsole or something similar? cause I cannot find it in Kubuntu
[12:44] <scguy318> capitalidea: purge what you installed via sudo make uninstall? take my advice with some salt
[12:44] <Ashfire908> echoronicle: open a terminal
[12:44] <echronicle> ok
[12:44] <ConstyXIV> livingdaylight: plug it in, copy stuffs to it, organize how you see fit
[12:44] <livingdaylight> Jordan_U, do i just call it all /home?
[12:44] <echronicle> got it
[12:44] <Ashfire908> echronicle: type parted
[12:45] <pbureau> livingdaylight, just connect the usb (if not formatted) then use parted to set the drive up and use as you want
[12:45] <livingdaylight> ConstyXIV, so i got one 149gb and need to do nothing to it?
[12:45] <echronicle> Ashfire: "You are not a superuser. Watch out for permissions"
[12:45] <echronicle> Ashfire: "no device found"
[12:45] <ConstyXIV> livingdaylight: pretty much
[12:45] <Poul^Laptop> kitche, i am not sure what i am to do :( the headers should be installed
[12:45] <livingdaylight> pbureau, sorry, that's what i'm getting at... how do i set it up?
[12:45] <Jordan_U> livingdaylight, Are you doing a fresh install of Ubuntu?
[12:45] <Ashfire908> echronicle: type quit, then type sudo parted
[12:46] <echronicle> oh, ok
[12:46] <livingdaylight> ConstyXIV, so, how do i copy stuff to it? :s
[12:46] <capitalidea> I'll just try reinstalling from synaptic
[12:46] <kitche> Poul^Laptop, well the error you keep saying is not an error
[12:46] <capitalidea> thanks anyways guys
[12:46] <winbond> so who got the kde4 beta2 running on gutsy?  or feisty
[12:46] <gnuskool> capitalidea: sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils
[12:46] <livingdaylight> Jordan_U, i will be so i need to copy my /home folder pretty much
[12:46] <livingdaylight> Jordan_U, documents, music, movies etc
[12:46] <echronicle> ashfire: it's loading, I guess
[12:46] <pbureau> livingdaylight, lack of data from you is making for a incomplete answer on my part.. is the drive already formatted ?
[12:46] <echronicle> ok
[12:46] <echronicle> ready
[12:47] <Yendor> It seems I lost my wireless network driver Intel/Wireless 3945ABG in Kubuntu.. I have no wireless network...I dont have the Restricted Driver Manager
[12:47] <livingdaylight> pbureau, yes...
[12:47] <Poul^Laptop> kitche, ok but well how do i get past it, trying to install the source for the kernel now and then just run the installer again?
[12:47] <ShackJack> Any gxmame users here? I can't get it to list my roms - I have dir setup but it won't read in the roms - ROMs in zip format...
[12:47] <shwouchk> bulmer: ok, something simpler maybe:
[12:47] <shwouchk> I have a server on a private network. I would like the server to get 2 ips (instead of 1, now). I would like it to pass one of the IPs to a downstream machine connected to the server. (it doesn't have to have that IP, but I want all traffic to one of the IPs to reach the downstream client.) any pointers on how to do it?
[12:47] <gnuskool> capitalidea: reinstall with this sudo apt-get install linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils
[12:47] <echronicle> Ashfire: should I type help in, to see a list of commands
[12:47] <chowmeined> where did that kernel update go? i haven't updated but update manager said there were more updates.. now there are less.. how does the number of updates available go down?
[12:48] <livingdaylight> pbureau, it is one 149gb ext3 hd
[12:48] <kitche> Poul^Laptop, yes and it will still output that message just say continue
[12:48] <pbureau> livingdaylight,  then connect the usb to the pc and it will show up on your desktop as a drive, is your question related to what application to use to backup your data or how to I access the drive once it is connected ?
[12:48] <Poul^Laptop> oki
[12:48] <livingdaylight> pbureau, but don't know if i have to call it /home or something
[12:48] <Poul^Laptop> oki kitche  will try

[12:48] <pbureau> livingdaylight,  why not /backup  or /exthdd...
[12:48] <scguy318> Axz: Synaptic or aptitude

[12:49] <Xyhthyx> I've been having apt-get updates fail for a couples days now Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty/multiverse/binary-i386/Packages.gz  Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1)
[12:49] <Poul^Laptop> kitche, seams to work, thx
[12:49] <scguy318> n-iCe`: if Ubuntu does not recognize it out of the box, you may need ndiswrapper
[12:49] <gnuskool> Axz, huh?
[12:49] <pbureau> n-iCe`, depends on the wireless chipset... doa search on the forums
[12:49] <HoboBen> Can anyone recommend a rapid-development language (preferably aimed for making games) for Linux? Is Ruby the best bet?

[12:49] <livingdaylight> Jordan_U, i'll check it out... thx for the link
[12:49] <__ZiGgy__> i need to get all my pop ups gone on linux whats a good tool for anit virus for Linux ?????
[12:49] <chowmeined> Xyhthyx: i think something is up?
[12:50] <bulmer> shwouchk: your AP is where? can you again re-draw one and paste it on pastebin?
[12:50] <Sergemine> Who can compile dab files out of source files on Ubuntu?
[12:50] <chowmeined> __ZiGgy__: linux doesn't get viruses
[12:50] <pbureau> livingdaylight,  have you connected it to your pc ? does it show up on your desktop as a drive ?
[12:50] <Jordan_U> HoboBen, Python with PYgame possibly
[12:50] <scguy318> __ZiGgy__: why do you need anti-virus for pop-ups?
[12:50] <n-iCe`> is ubuntu server, and it recognize it, but how do i active it? if i do lwconfig it appears in eth0
[12:50] <shwouchk> bulmer: no, the server is wireless... the downstream client is wired
[12:50] <mycroftiv> echronicle: have you started parted in your terminal? i believe the plan was to look for your windows partition to see if it still there
[12:50] <__ZiGgy__> i need to fix this problem
[12:50] <shwouchk> bulmer: the router is the AP
[12:50] <n-iCe`> and I added the essid, key etc
[12:50] <tedandhogan> how do i log on to the server
[12:50] <echronicle> mycroftiv - I started parted
[12:50] <chowmeined> __ZiGgy__: if you are using firefox.. i suggest trying adblock plus (its a free add-on)
[12:50] <scguy318> n-iCe`: iwconfig?
[12:50] <__ZiGgy__> i keep on getting pop ups when i come back to my computer
[12:50] <n-iCe`> What else do i need ?
[12:50] <nikom2> Need help with ./configure with Airsnort, I get this after installing build-essential: http://pastebin.com/m7feb19
[12:50] <HoboBen> Jordan_U, thanks - I haven't tried Python in a long while, that's a good idea. :-)
[12:50] <n-iCe`> scguy318 yeah
[12:50] <Axz> whats gui application manager?
[12:50] <stemount> Hi :-)
[12:50] <bulmer> shwouchk: that was not what you told me earlier..
[12:50] <echronicle> mycroftiv: but... since I'm new, I'm not exactly sure what to do next

[12:51] <chowmeined> cappiz: using the /etc/apt/preferences file
[12:51] <__ZiGgy__> so theres no way around it ?
[12:51] <__ZiGgy__> besides changing Browzers
[12:51] <mycroftiv> echronicle: i dont remember parted very well but ill start it up and see how to get through the menus, its pretty simple to find the basic partitioning scheme if i remember
[12:51] <chowmeined> __ZiGgy__: what pop-ups?
[12:51] <Axz> not for me guys for some girl i;m helping
[12:51] <pbureau> livingdaylight, then just use it like your pc hdd... same thing
[12:51] <Axz> she is on kububtu
[12:51] <bulmer> shwouchk: maybe am getting confused..a drawing is worth a thousand words..so...

[12:52] <monkeyBox__> Help!  I'm in the livecd trying to re-partition my HD using gparted,  but ubuntu keeps re-mounting the drive while I'm trying to partition it!  How do I keep it from re-mounting the drive?
[12:52] <Sergemine> What percentage of Ubuntu users compile software for themselves ?????
[12:52] <nikom2> Pici, it's downloading
[12:52] <mycroftiv> echonricle: ok type "print all"

[12:52] <__ZiGgy__> i fixed it
[12:52] <nikom2> gonna take 5 minutes
[12:52] <Yendor> Oki
[12:52] <Zizzling> Sergemine: all the Kn0Wleded people do
[12:52] <echronicle> mycroftiv: ok, done
[12:52] <__ZiGgy__> it was a plugin
[12:53] <Yendor> scguy318: I will do so now.. gimme a fewm inutes please
[12:53] <gnuskool> monkeyBox: what message you getting?
[12:53] <mycroftiv> echronicle: now look in the list of partitions it printed and see if there is a partition with File System "NTFS" -- that would be your windows partition assuming it is a standard XP setup
[12:53] <pbureau> Yendor, check http://ubuntuforums.org/search.php?searchid=26824380
[12:53] <scguy318> Yendor: i think sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r`

[12:54] <echronicle> mycroftiv: primary, extended, and logical
[12:54] <livingdaylight> pbureau, i don't get it... it's not letting me copy from ubuntu and pasting in external hd 'disk'
[12:54] <Sergemine> Zizzling , how many are there? I mean : There is no other way, but to learn to do it, or is it really just for gurus ???
[12:54] <andresj> hi. i want to install ubuntu server lamp in my kubuntu installation; so i wanted to know what packages are included in the server? (any specialized ubuntu package?)
[12:54] <Gosha> what does gksudo do?
[12:54] <mycroftiv> echronicle: that is type, look in the next column, with "File System" as the header, is there one of type NTFS or is just ext3 and swap?
[12:54] <scguy318> !lamp | andresj
[12:54] <ubotu> andresj: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[12:54] <monkeyBox_> Help! I'm trying to repartition my drive in the livecd using gparted,  but ubuntu keeps re-mounting the drive.  How do I keep it from auto-mounting the drive?
[12:54] <chowmeined> Gosha: it prompts you for your password when you are required to elevate privileges
[12:55] <echronicle> mycroftiv - ext3 and swap, and the middle one is blank
[12:55] <Ashfire908> echronicle: sorry
[12:55] <scguy318> monkeyBox_: try sudo umount -a?
[12:55] <echronicle> Ashfire908 - np
[12:55] <echronicle> I'm afraid I lost it, though...
[12:55] <Zizzling> Sergemine: No, theres no problem compiling some apps, the problem is having the headers ("dev" packages) before beginning the compiles
[12:55] <scguy318> !sudo | Gosha
[12:55] <ubotu> Gosha: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[12:55] <Ashfire908> echronicle: type print all then paste it to the paste bin
[12:55] <scguy318> Gosha: gksudo is the GUI version of sudo, use that for GUI apps
[12:56] <gnuskool> monkeyBox_: as sudo unmount it, then partition
[12:56] <baktaah> Excuse me, whenever I install something (through apt-get) I get a long list of fonts that FAIL to write to cache, I dont know where these comes from but how do I remove them or atleas stop making my apt-get slower? Also it feels like its making my system slower
[12:56] <Sergemine> Zizzling , is there a good manual to learn to compile? A howto for Dummies?
[12:56] <pbureau> livingdaylight, did you format the drive or just partionned it ?
[12:56] <echronicle> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/36838/
[12:56] <bulmer> shwouchk: per the pics, thats how im set up now, i have a dhcpd running on my server..the client can access the net, wireless clients can access to my downstream
[12:56] <echronicle> Ashfire908 - it's posted
[12:56] <monkeyBox_> gnuskool:  I did unmount it, but ubuntu remounts at the moment gparted tries to partition
[12:56] <scguy318> !make
[12:56] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[12:56] <Pici> Can someone suggest an application for backing up to DVD that will automatically span multiple disks?
[12:56] <scguy318> !make | Zizzling
[12:56] <ubotu> Zizzling: please see above
[12:56] <baktaah> Whats the channel for gutsy?
[12:57] <tiax> Hi
[12:57] <chowmeined> baktaah: #ubuntu+1
[12:57] <astro76> monkeyBox_, right click on the partition in gparted, and click unmount there
[12:57] <livingdaylight> pbureau, format... but i'm confused now
[12:57] <astro76> monkeyBox_, that's supposed to prevent it from remounting
[12:57] <Ashfire908> echronicle: you deleted the windows partition
[12:57] <mycroftiv> echronicle: from that partition table it looks like your windows install got nuked
[12:57] <Gosha> scguy318: thanks
[12:57] <tiax> What does the local database function of gtkpod do? Or is there maybe an even better program which actually syncs an iPod and not only copies/deletes tracks?
[12:57] <monkeyBox_> ok, I'll try that. thanks
[12:57] <echronicle> brother
[12:57] <astro76> monkeyBox_, if that doesn't work for you, you can also grab the SystemRescueCD or GParted LiveCD
[12:57] <Gosha> Where do i add the deb htttp://.... fiesty ... ?
[12:57] <gnuskool> pici,ghost 4 linux
[12:57] <Gosha> repository-thing
[12:58] <Gosha> !repository
[12:58] <echronicle> now what? I read that it's kind of awkward to install xp once you have linux installed
[12:58] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[12:58] <Zizzling> Sergemine: Unpack the source, "tar -zxvf package.tar.gz" or "tar zfj package.tar.bz2" cd into the package and run: ./configure --prefix=/usr --localstatedir=/var --sysconfdir=/etc && make && make install (Done!)
[12:58] <Ashfire908> echronicle: you could wipe linux with the livecd then install windows
[12:58] <livingdaylight> pbureau, says 149gb unallocated
[12:59] <echronicle> Ashfire908: could you speak in layman's terms, pls :D
[12:59] <Ashfire908> then i would recommend you get help with installing ubuntu.
[12:59] <Intelligitimate> Has anyone ever got Pythonol to compile?
[12:59] <shwouchk> bulmer: excellent. thats what I want - tips? :P
[12:59] <Pici> gnuskool: thanks, I'll take a look
[12:59] <Zizzling> Yuck, Python
[12:59] <Cyrus25801> I am on the following website: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP#head-f23816a61d5dc93fe2430a8e2a149414f015250e under the heading : Edit Apache Configuration. it says search for username and groupname and rplace it with your username and group name. iset-up a user name but i don't know what the group name is. can someone help pls.
[12:59] <winbond> can i move a virtual machine from vmware server to vmware workstation ?
[12:59] <echronicle> Ashfire908: so how do I "wipe linux" with the cd?
[12:59] <Pici> winbond: ask in #vmware
[12:59] <pbureau> livingdaylight,  then format it
[12:59] <Ashfire908> boot up with the livecd
[12:59] <gizmotron> Quick question. Does anyone know how I can reburn a new disk of ubuntu while using the liveCD? The one I have is corrupted, and I don't have another computer right now to reburn a disk.
[12:59] <echronicle> ok, and then....
[12:59] <bulmer> shwouchk: i already gave them to you earlier, use of ip_forwarding, nat, iptables,
[01:00] <livingdaylight> pbureau, i need to click on 'new' and name partition... no, i've formatted already
[01:00] <Poul|Raider> kitche, got it working here now, thx for the help
[01:00] <Jordan_U> gizmotron, How much RAM do you have?
[01:00] <bulmer> running a dhcpd too
[01:00] <Ashfire908> open Gnome Partition editor
[01:00] <gizmotron> 1.5GB, but right now I installed ubuntu ultimate, so I don't have enough space to download and burn
[01:00] <echronicle> ok, then...
[01:00] <Sergemine> Zizzling, Thank you. Last Q: what if not all dependancies are met ??? Is there a command to install all-needed-dependanceis???
[01:00] <livingdaylight> pbureau, Create as: Primary partition? Filesystem: ext3?
[01:00] <Jordan_U> gizmotron, And does it need to be the LiveCD or will the minimal CD work? ( BTW stay away from Ubuntu Ultimate )
[01:01] <DerangedDingo> Sergemine: use aptitude instead of apt-get
[01:01] <Ashfire908> echronicle: open Gnome Partition editor, and delete every partition
[01:01] <pbureau> livingdaylight, yes sure why not.
[01:01] <livingdaylight> pbureau, what is unformatted?
[01:01] <echronicle> Ashfire908: I'll tell you what... can I go ahead and reboot with the CD, and then come back on irc and you guide me through the steps?
[01:01] <chowmeined> is there a way to flush group membership information?.. like i was added to a group, but I don't want to logout, how can I update my information?
[01:01] <nofeardjb> looking for some help, need a way to cap my uploading on my ubuntu server 7.10 box
[01:01] <gizmotron> Minimal CD is fine, I know, I'm not fond of this version.
[01:01] <Zizzling> Sergemine: Yes, but those are "from source package managers"... Install them by hand if youre new ;)
[01:01] <Ashfire908> echronicle: um, i got to go eat
[01:01] <echronicle> argh
[01:01] <echronicle> ok
[01:01] <echronicle> mycroftiv - are you still there?
[01:01] <Yendor> scguy318: I couldn't find any entry for it in Adept, I was going to installed it through the Kubuntu DVD... is there another way to see if its installed...?? when I used modprobe it wasn't listed
[01:02] <mycroftiv> echronicle: what is your goal? to reinstall windows and ubuntu?
[01:02] <Jordan_U> gizmotron, It's not a "version" and they are actually violating Canonical's trademark by calling it such
[01:02] <echronicle> yes, mycroftiv
[01:02] <nofeardjb> anyone know how to cap bandwidth in ubuntu?
[01:02] <Jordan_U> gizmotron, I assume you don't have another CDROM drive available?
[01:02] <Zizzling> Sergemine: rpm and deb packages etc are just faster to install because they have already been compiled. From source installs are better but take a bit longer to compile
[01:02] <shwouchk> bulmer: I mean something a bit more comprehensive then that. if you don't want to help that's fine but what you said so far is just not enough info. if you DO want to help I would really appreciate it if you elaborate.
[01:02] <gizmotron> I had no idea. Anyways, I want to change it out. I just need to put something on real quick so I can download and reburn another disk... whatever version I want.

[01:03] <mycroftiv> echronicle: I believe the windows installer can wipe your HD and install itself, right? In that case, I'd just reinstall windows, then reinstall ubuntu but using manual partitioning to make sure you preserve your data

[01:03] <echronicle> mycroftiv - thanks! so, I just put in the windows xp cd and reboot?
[01:03] <bulmer> shwouchk: i can assist, but you have to do some reading too, i cant spoon feed you..like start with learning how a dhcpd works
[01:03] <Jordan_U> Zizzling, Sergemine That source installs are "better" is debateable, especially depending on how they are installed
[01:03] <chowmeined> nofeardjb: but thats the keyword you'd want to use.. QoS
[01:04] <kelsi> hello.. is there anyone here who could help me with a very basic question? i'm quite new to ubuntu
[01:04] <mycroftiv> echronicle: I'm not much of a windows user, maybe google "windows xp installation" to make sure it will clear everything out
[01:04] <Zizzling> Jordan_U: Nope, never as long as they overwrite any previous versions
[01:04] <baktaah_> Everytime i download something I get this message

[01:04] <chowmeined> kelsi: ask away
[01:04] <echronicle> ok... here I go... thanks for the help, mycroftiv
[01:04] <echronicle> ttyl
[01:04] <mycroftiv> echronicle: but if all your data is gone and your system isnt setup how you want, you cant make it any worse i guess so go for it
[01:04] <echronicle> right, lol, thanks

[01:05] <gnuskool> :S
[01:05] <kelsi> i just compiled the source for Transmission (torrent program), and it looks like everything went fine, but i don't know how to run the program
[01:05] <kelsi> i tried just typing 'transmission' in terminal, but it didn't work
[01:05] <beerfa1> anyone use specto from the universe repo? it crashes for me after a fresh install
[01:05] <scguy318> kelsi: have you installed it?
[01:05] <scguy318> !checkinstall
[01:05] <ubotu> checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!
[01:05] <chowmeined> kelsi: you did 'make install' ?
[01:05] <scguy318> chow: sudo make install
[01:06] <scguy318> kelsi: it may be a good idea to checkinstal it
[01:06] <chowmeined> scguy318: sudo is kind of implied...
[01:06] <Jordan_U> Zizzling, If you make a standard .deb package ( i.e. not just checkinstall ) I would almost agree, but especially for new users having anything that is not managed ( or even known by ) the package manager can lead to serious breakage
[01:06] <MeRodent> I can't empty an item from my garbage bin as I don't have permissions to modify its parent folder. What do I need to do
[01:06] <gnuskool> kelsi, dpkg -l transmission

[01:06] <shwouchk> bulmer: I don't mind reading at all, but I can't go through remote theory right now. I can read even a long practical howto though. again, can you please point me?
[01:06] <scguy318> gnuskool: hes installing from source
[01:06] <kelsi> yes, i did ./configure, then make, then sudo make install.. i tried the checkinstall thing too, where it made a deb package, but that didn't seem to help
[01:07] <gnuskool> scguy318: ah :s
[01:07] <nickrud> MeRodent: cd ~/.Trash, use sudo: you probably have a root owned file in there somewhere
[01:07] <chowmeined> kelsi: is it in /usr/local/bin ?
[01:07] <raedwulf> where do I find info about how to make a Disk from an .AVI file that will play on my CD/DVD Player connected to my TV??
[01:07] <bulmer> shwouchk: what have you done to create this system yet?
[01:08] <Zizzling> Jordan_U: I agree but from source can be as easily installable as debs etc given a bit more time
[01:08] <kelsi> i'm not sure how to check if it's in usr/local/bin
[01:08] <nickrud> installing isn't the issue, it's uninstalling that's the problem
[01:08] <MeRodent> how do I force remove a directory (I don't want to go down all the tree paths).
[01:08] <scguy318> kelsi: ls /usr/local/bin/trans*
[01:08] <scguy318> MeRodent: rm -rf ....
[01:09] <nickrud> MeRodent: rm -r (recursive)
[01:09] <MeRodent> thanks
[01:09] <capitalidea> gnuskool: That did nothing for me.
[01:09] <kelsi> scguy318: it said no such file or dir
[01:09] <scguy318> kelsi: hmm

[01:13] <capitalidea> this seems to be a bug
[01:13] <Yendor> scguy318: I rebooted in kernel 2.6.0.15 and I have wireless there so it is broken in kernel 2.6.0.1.6
[01:13] <bulmer> shwouchk: is your server working now?
[01:13] <MeRodent> Where's bashrc live?
[01:13] <capitalidea> I wish someone would test shit before they roll it out. I and getting tired of this incessant upgrade/BREAKSTUFFFIESTA! crap
[01:13] <nickrud> MeRodent: in /etc/bash.bashrc and ~/.bashrc
[01:14] <Zizzling> Jordan_U: But now you know most of how to do it, one tricky part is that the resulting binaries must overwrite the existing ones.
[01:14] <capitalidea> MeRodent: man bash will also tell you more config files related to bash
[01:14] <shwouchk> bulmer: yes
[01:14] <gnuskool> capitalidea: you can purge the one you have, then download the source of a previous version of alsa, and compile for your kernel like so sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r) module-assistant alsa-source
[01:14] <NuCobra> hi all need help geting opengl
[01:14] <Gecko> Hey there. I need to know one thing: I am converting my ubuntu install to a LVM file system structure. I have created a copy of my current system on another disk this time with LVM. I have modified /etc/fstab to include the new UUID's. As far as I can see, the only thing I need to do is install grub to the new partition and update the grub device names. Is there anything I'm missing?
[01:14] <Zizzling> Jordan_U: One package manager could easily work for all systems, np.
[01:14] <bulmer> shwouchk: what os on your server?
[01:15] <shwouchk> bulmer: the OS of this channel, but in extreme need I can convert
[01:15] <capitalidea> gnuskool: other people will have the problem I am having, direct them to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3306199 if they lost sound after an upgrade
[01:15] <bulmer> shwouchk: paste the result of ip a  on pastebin please

[01:15] <bulmer> of the server off course
[01:16] <Ben_Cs> is there anything better than gtkpod with xmms, for ipod?

[01:16] <capitalidea> nickrud, snd_hda_intel family, ALC888 I believe
[01:16] <kelsi> scguy318: do you have any other ideas? are programs supposed to start just by opening terminal and typing their name?
[01:16] <bruenig> its all the same for ipod, they get the job done
[01:17] <capitalidea> It seems there is a work around but I don't expect much.
[01:17] <gnuskool> capitalidea: agh, bugs!
[01:17] <CountX> hi, how might i cycle through some images as my background
[01:17] <Yendor> scguy318: I rebooted in kernel 2.6.0.15 and I have wireless there so it is broken in kernel 2.6.0.16
[01:17] <shwouchk> bulmer: http://paste.stgraber.org/3428
[01:17] <nickrud> capitalidea: ok, I had that same problem (but I was lazy, I just copied over the module from 15 to 16. But I'll remember yours, it's probably better
[01:17] <CountX> i have a folder with all the imaged i want as my desktop background, just cant pick one, any way to make them cycle?
[01:17] <Ben_Cs> nickrud: tried amarok, it worked for some time, and then suddenly it stopped launching. fits kde
[01:18] <bruenig> Yendor, is the wireless module you use one that is in the default kernel tree?
[01:18] <nickrud> lol
[01:18] <Ben_Cs> nickrud: except k3b i use gtk apps when possible
[01:18] <NuCobra> hi all, Need Help with a Graphics issue i have with a game
[01:19] <bulmer> shwouchk: okay add an ip address to your eth0
[01:19] <baktaah_> E: ttf-opensymbol: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 56
[01:19] <baktaah_> Can anyone help me
[01:19] <baktaah_> I get that
[01:19] <winbond> so who got the kde4 beta2 running on gutsy?  or feisty
[01:19] <Jordan_U> CountX, If there isn't a tool to do it it wouldn't be hard to script it
[01:19] <shane634> NuCobra: the question is?
[01:19] <baktaah_> and a looong list with stuff fail to write to cache
[01:19] <Yendor> bruenig: yes the wiresless was the default one, it used to work as well when I upgraded the kernel...now its broken somehow.. I have to boot in the previous kernel to make it work again
[01:19] <baktaah_> E: ttf-opensymbol: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 56
[01:19] <CountX> Jordan_U, can you tell me how?
[01:20] <Jack_Sparrow> baktaah_: we got it the first time 10 seconds ago
[01:20] <shwouchk> bulmer: done
[01:20] <bruenig> Yendor, um, your answer was odd, I just meant to ask if it was in the default kernel tree or if it was a module that you had to add yourself, I think ubuntu refers to them as restricted modules for some reason
[01:20] <shane634> !restricted modules
[01:20] <NuCobra> shane634, well i am trying to Run a game called Tibia, when it loads the Title screen is all Messed up, like can't see the screen just lines of other colors
[01:20] <bruenig> !fishing | shane
[01:20] <ubotu> shane: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (see also !Bot). Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops...
[01:20] <Jordan_U> bruenig, restricted == licence restrictions make them not Free
[01:21] <bulmer> shwouchk: whats the ip addy you assigned to eth0?
[01:21] <shwouchk> bulmer: 192.168.0.1
[01:21] <bruenig> Jordan_U, but ipw3945 is a combined gpl + bsd license and it is in restricted
[01:21] <velko> CountX, search for "background" on http://www.gnomefiles.org and you'll find some tools for this
[01:21] <shane634> sorry
[01:21] <bulmer> shwouchk: is your client up and running?
[01:21] <kazol> What's the equivelent cmd for "apt-cache search" but for the files currently installed?
[01:21] <CountX> velko, thanks
[01:21] <shwouchk> bulmer: yes
[01:21] <Yendor> bruenig: I understand and I'll try to clarify: I have kubuntu and the wireless modules came with its installation, it used to work without me having to install anything, this also when the kernel upgrades came out..I hope this helps
[01:22] <bulmer> shwouchk: how is it connect to eth0 of the server?
[01:22] <Pici> kazol: dpkg -s
[01:22] <bulmer> connected*
[01:22] <Jordan_U> bruenig, Strange, does it require restricted firmware?
[01:22] <bruenig> Jordan_U, no, it doesn't require anything but the stuff that is under the license, I mean the firmware that is on the chip itself I'm sure is restricted
[01:22] <shwouchk> bulmer: eth cable.
[01:22] <kazol> Pici: thx
[01:22] <h1st0_> Jordan_U: what tyep of card?
[01:23] <NuCobra> i am trying to Run a game called Tibia, when it loads the Title screen is all Messed up, like can't see the screen just lines of other colors, is this a Graphics issue?, and if so how can i get OpenGL?
[01:23] <h1st0_> NuCobra: what type of video card do you have?
[01:23] <bulmer> shwouchk: crossed ethernet cable?
[01:23] <bruenig> Jordan_U, I assumed that it wasn't in the kernel because you have to have a separate daemon running for it to work, it isn't just a simple modprobe ipw3945, you have to modprobe it and then run the daemon also. So you obviously can't include that in the kernel, but it isn't restricted, even the daemon isn't restricted
[01:23] <Jordan_U> bruenig, Then I have no idea why they categorize it that way :?
[01:23] <kelsi> would anyone be willing to help me out one on one for a minute? i have a question about installing a prgram and i probably just missed something basic
[01:24] <shwouchk> bulmer: I was wondering just that and how to check it :) - I have one crossed and about 4 non, and I'm not sure how to check :)
[01:24] <bruenig> Jordan_U, it is a non kernel module, almost all non kernel modules are restricted so I guess they just decided to lump it in there
[01:24] <NuCobra> h1st0, ATI, Radeon X1650 Pro
[01:24] <Jack_Sparrow> kelsi: tell people what program to get the best ehlp

[01:25] <Aminux> hello
[01:25] <Jordan_U> bruenig, Might be interesting to see if it is catagorized as restricted in Gutsy, ( considering it will have a libre variant )
[01:25] <kelsi> the program is Transmission - a torrent program
[01:25] <bruenig> Yendor, I would bet that it has to do with a module that was not in the default kernel tree and those modules have to be recompiled each kernel
[01:25] <capitalidea> ok
[01:25] <capitalidea> done recompiling
[01:25] <Jack_Sparrow> kelsi: Why not use one of the torrent programs from the repos?
[01:25] <NuCobra> h1st0, but at ati they have no driver for linux for x1650 just x1600
[01:25] <capitalidea> <3 my Intel C2D

[01:25] <pavel_> While loading ubuntu in recovery mode, it freezes at "sd 0:0:0:0 attached scsi disk sda" does anyone know why it freezes?
[01:26] <Aminux> how do i enable direct rendering on ATi open drivers?
[01:26] <Yendor> bruenig: yes but then the question come alone, how come it kept working when I upgraded the kernel though the adept packages?
[01:26] <shwouchk> bulmer: impossible atm...
[01:26] <bruenig> Yendor, you had upgraded the kernel before?
[01:26] <kelsi> jack_Sparrow: i use Transmission on my mac, so i've grown accustomed to it.. but also, this is my first time compiling a program from source, so i'm hoping to try figure out what i'm doing wrong
[01:26] <Yendor> bruenig: yes once when it came out through the adept packages in kubuntu
[01:27] <bulmer> shwouchk: i cant remember off hand..you have to google for the pin outs

[01:29] <kazol> ok

[01:29] <Yendor> I guess I could try to uninstall the new kernel image through adept and reinstall it... would that work?
[01:29] <Jordan_U> Aminux, Is your card listed as being supported by the Open Source driver?
[01:29] <nickrud> Aminux: it works ... which ati drivers, restricted or from ati site?
[01:30] <Aminux> i have the ones that came with ubuntu
[01:30] <Jordan_U> Aminux, For many cards it does not support dri ( 3D )
[01:30] <Aminux> the card is ati 9600 series
[01:30] <kelsi> jack_Sparrow: i got disconnected, so not sure if you responded again.. do you think you could help me?
[01:30] <livingdaylight> i can't partition this external hard drive using gparted
[01:31] <Aminux> the problem here is direct rendering
[01:31] <capitalidea> recompiling worked
[01:31] <K0brik> Aminux: what driver do you use?
[01:31] <capitalidea> funny thing though
[01:31] <nickrud> Aminux: you should simply have to run   gksudo restricted-manager , and enable the driver
[01:31] <Aminux> AIGLX
[01:31] <Aminux> ?
[01:31] <livingdaylight> Jordan_U, i don't see how to apply the link you showed me to my situation

[01:32] <nickrud> Aminux: ah, a different question. Get direct rendering going, then think about xgl  (not aiglx for ati)
[01:32] <livingdaylight> Jordan_U, still can't finish this... when i name it and assign ext3 and primary and click apply there is always an error dialog pop up
[01:32] <Jordan_U> livingdaylight, What error?
[01:32] <CountX> i got something that lest me change my desktop background periodically, how do i install it?
[01:33] <livingdaylight> anyone familiar with formatting and setting up external hard usb drive for storage
[01:33] <CountX> its a shell script
[01:33] <nickrud> CountX: open the shell script with gedit, there might be some instructions in there
[01:33] <__ZiGgy__> ok i got a qustion when i play a game why does it play ok for a wile then it jumps out of my screen into a smaller box ??
[01:33] <__ZiGgy__> for no reason
[01:33] <bruenig> CountX, you just move the script into the path or change the path to reflect where the script is
[01:33] <livingdaylight> Jordan_U, says operation couldn't be done... and...
[01:33] <SlimeyPete> that's not normal behaviour. Might be a video driver issue.
[01:34] <Aminux> nickrud: but im using the open drivers,not the proprietary drivers
[01:34] <Jordan_U> CountX, Where did you get it from?

[01:37] <bulmer> shwouchk: i found... 1 tx+ --- 3rx+  2tx-  -- 6 rx-
[01:37] <pavel_> ubuntu wont load for me
[01:37] <__ZiGgy__> do you think Linux is better then Windows ???
[01:37] <nickrud> Aminux: then you don't have 3d; I have a chip that can't run 3d from the open driver, so I have to use the restricted one. Could you show me the output of    uname -r
[01:38] <pavel_> Zigy: way better
[01:38] <CountX> how do i compile the source code
[01:38] <__ZiGgy__> KK pavel
[01:38] <livingdaylight> Jordan_U, see right now it is there as disk [/media/disk]  but i can't create any folders in it or drop anything it it
[01:38] <shwouchk> bulmer: so if I swap the pins on a regular cable itll turn into xo right?
[01:38] <nickrud> Aminux: and, generally don't paste in this channel, only a line or two at most
[01:39] <Aminux> nickrud: 2.6.20-16-generic

[01:39] <bulmer> shwouchk: what do you think?
[01:39] <riaal__> What is the best way to remove samba from autostarting?
[01:39] <livingdaylight> Jordan_U, sudo umount -a gives back /dev: device is busy
[01:39] <Aminux> nickrud: but the thing is i had direct rendering before
[01:39] <livingdaylight> Jordan_U, /proc/bus/usb: device is busy
[01:39] <__ZiGgy__> what Proccessor Do you suggest Ubuntu to run on to run Perfect ? with out any laggg
[01:40] <livingdaylight> Jordan_U, umount: /var/run: device is busy .... and acouple more like that
[01:40] <xtknight> __ZiGgy__, Intel Core/Core 2 or Athlon 64
[01:40] <riaal__> how do I change root password from terminal?
[01:40] <xtknight> !root | riaal__
[01:40] <ubotu> riaal__: 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
[01:40] <bruenig> riaal__, passwd, as root
[01:40] <xtknight> riaal__, system->admin->services may have samba?
[01:40] <nickrud> Aminux: this iteration of direct rendering is a real problem on ati. I've seen a lot of people fail with it. Me, personally, I'd recommend getting the restricted driver and crossing your fingers
[01:41] <Aminux> i think im going to install ubuntu all over again
[01:41] <Pc_Dark> why am I get these errors when I try to run Compiz Fusion... https://pastebin.ca/687791
[01:41] <nickrud> Aminux: before you do that, try this:   sudo apt-get install linux-generic      then run gksudo restricted manager   and select the ati driver
[01:42] <livingdaylight> Jordan_U, /dev/sdb1 is ext3 but i can't do anything with it... i can delete it and i end up with just /dev/sdb again and i've going round like this for a while

[01:42] <CountX> how do i run a shell script
[01:42] <bruenig> CountX, /path/to/script
[01:42] <bruenig> assuming it is executable
[01:42] <shwouchk> bulmer: I'm pretty sure that yes... Ill get down to work then :)
[01:42] <xtknight> ./script if it's in current dir
[01:42] <Aminux> nickrud: nothing really happened
[01:42] <bruenig> ./script is a path
[01:43] <xtknight> he might not know . is current dir adn instead just try "script" tho
[01:43] <nickrud> Aminux: then you probably already had the restricted drivers; did you run the restricted-manager ? if you used exactly what I'd typed, you'd have had an error
[01:43] <Pc_Dark> Jack_Sparrow: There is noone talking there.
[01:44] <Aminux> nickrud: no error
[01:44] <livingdaylight> Jordan_U, ?
[01:44] <CountX> bruenig, its a .sh
[01:44] <shwouchk> bulmer: offline for 3
[01:44] <shwouchk> 2
[01:44] <nickrud> Aminux:   gksudo restricted manager would force an error, its actually  gksudo restricted-manager
[01:44] <bruenig> CountX, file extensions mean nothing in *nix
[01:44] <TheIronChef> scguy318 are you still here?
[01:44] <__ZiGgy__> Where can i find some cool stuff for linux
[01:45] <livingdaylight> Does someone know the ins and outs of formatting and setting up an external usb hard drive? I 've been messing with gparted here for some time but not getting the desired result
[01:45] <__ZiGgy__> i'm bord
[01:45] <DrSmall> Greetings
[01:45] <Aminux> nickrud: seriously no error shown
[01:45] <CountX> bruenig, its supposed to install an application
[01:45] <CountX> bruenig, that help?
[01:45] <__ZiGgy__> like websites?
[01:45] <Aminux> nickrud: what i typed  was gksudo restricted manager
[01:45] <oandrew> WoW,, could there Be any more people here?!?
[01:45] <bruenig> CountX, you are saying the script installs a program or the script is itself the program?
[01:45] <nickrud> Aminux: where'd you type it?
[01:45] <CountX> bruenig, it installs a program
[01:45] <Aminux> terminal
[01:46] <DrSmall> When someone gets a chance, I need some help.
[01:46] <bruenig> CountX, ok just run it then
[01:46] <xtknight> CountX, does it have executable permissions? what happens when you type the script's path (even with sh) ?
[01:46] <TheIronChef> could someone please help me, I am having very hard time with an error when instaling ubuntu nmy new computer. Can someone message me please
[01:46] <Aminux> nickrud: i now tried gksudo restricted-manager

[01:46] <larryone> !iso
[01:46] <ubotu> 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.
[01:46] <shwouchk> bulmer: back
[01:46] <nickrud> livingdaylight: try using cfdisk /dev/<externaldrive>
[01:46] <livingdaylight> Jordan_U, do i need gparted live cd? or install gparted from Ubuntu live cd?
[01:47] <CountX> bruenig, what?
[01:47] <larryone> !mkiso
[01:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mkiso - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[01:47] <Aminux> nickrud: but this is for the proprietary drivers,right?
[01:47] <xtknight> crossover probably officially provides .sh too
[01:47] <nickrud> Aminux: yes.
[01:47] <TheIronChef> can't access tty job control off .... how do I fix this?
[01:47] <Aminux> nickrud: so,its no good for now
[01:47] <nickrud> Aminux: why's that? Is it broken with your card?
[01:48] <teratorn> I just tried to install a package on an old special-purpose warty system... didn't work because warty packages don't exist on archive.ubuntu.com... anyone know if there are any active warty package sources left?
[01:48] <livingdaylight> nickrud, i did sudo and what you said but it said i had no write permissions
[01:48] <xtknight> CountX, sudo chmod u+x ./Install-Crossover-Pro-6.1.0.sh
[01:48] <nickrud> livingdaylight: my external shows as /dev/sda  ; sudo fdisk -l will show your disks
[01:48] <marginoferror> Is there any way to mount a CD image on loopback without using sudo?
[01:48] <Aminux> nickrud: i have a better experience with Ati open source drivers
[01:49] <Gosha> So, I installed those thirdparty freefonts-stuff. And my left screen turned weird. Does this have a connection somehow?
[01:49] <marginoferror> i.e., mount it entirely in userspace?
[01:49] <nickrud> Aminux: so do I, for 2d :)
[01:49] <DrSmall> Who do I start Virtual Box properly ?
[01:49] <xtknight> DrSmall, virtualbox in system tools menu
[01:49] <CountX> xtknight, what was that supposed to do, all i got was nothing
[01:49] <Tsukasa_> hey guys im running gutsy fresh install and i cant add workspaces for some reason
[01:49] <h1st0__> DrSmall: you just double click on it.
[01:49] <Tsukasa_> it wont show the option to
[01:49] <h1st0__> DrSmall: err single click ont he menu itme
[01:49] <DrSmall> Ah, ok
[01:49] <teratorn> marginoferror: probably only if the admin has set up a special line in /etc/fstab
[01:49] <xtknight> CountX, sets executable permissions.  now try "sudo ./Install-Crossover-Pro-6.1.0.sh"
[01:49] <DrSmall> thanks, I couldn't find it.
[01:49] <teratorn> marginoferror: in that file you can make devices "user mountable"
[01:49] <nickrud> Tsukasa_: you should ask on #ubuntu+1
[01:49] <Gosha> More like,  Is the connection possible?
[01:50] <marginoferror> teratorn: AFAIK that would only work with a single, designated image.  What about using FUSE somehow?
[01:50] <CountX> xtknight, oh sweet thanks
[01:50] <teratorn> marginoferror: yeah probably. don't know about FUSE.
[01:50] <xtknight> !FUSE
[01:50] <ubotu> FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE.  Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here:  http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems
[01:50] <CountX> xtknight, do you have to do ./ infront it, becuase i didnt do that before
[01:50] <xtknight> CountX, ya you do
[01:50] <marginoferror> isofs, perfect
[01:50] <teratorn> marginoferror: though perhaps you could make the device be a symlink that hte user could change
[01:50] <marginoferror> Thanks xtknight
[01:50] <xtknight> CountX, . means current dir
[01:51] <xtknight> CountX, otherwise it searches in other PATHs for what you're excuting.
[01:51] <bingmo> hello
[01:51] <teratorn> so nowhere to get warty packages anymore :(
[01:51] <teratorn> ?
[01:51] <xtknight> teratorn, ubuntu archives sites
[01:51] <h1st0__> teratorn: are the repos down?
[01:51] <DrSmall> Excuse me for my ignorance, but i installed virtualbox from the debian on their website, but it did not put a item in the system menu.
[01:51] <xtknight> teratorn, http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
[01:51] <teratorn> the warty directory doesn't exist on the main archive
[01:51] <Aminux> nickrud: you use fglrx ?
[01:51] <teratorn> ah
[01:51] <teratorn> thanks
[01:51] <c_plus_plus> Hello, I recently tried installing the nvidia restricted drivers, and after reboot I couldn't start ubuntu. Any way I can remove the drivers from the LiveCD?
[01:51] <h1st0__> DrSmall: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[01:52] <nickrud> Aminux: yes
[01:52] <DrSmall> Feisty
[01:52] <h1st0__> DrSmall: and you shouldn't really be installing debian packages.  virtualbox is in the repos
[01:52] <Aminux> nickrud: how good is it?
[01:52] <Pc_Dark> how do I install openoffice.org impress (publisher)
[01:52] <teratorn> xtknight: erm yeah that's what I'm talking about
[01:52] <aleka> IS it possible to show line numbers in gedit?
[01:52] <h1st0__> DrSmall: remove the debian version you installed.  and sudo apt-get install virtualbox
[01:52] <teratorn> xtknight: warty packages aren't on there
[01:52] <DrSmall> oh, I didn't know that.
[01:52] <xtknight> teratorn, hmm
[01:52] <xtknight> teratorn, they used to be :|
[01:52] <nickrud> Aminux: it works well enough. I can run the effects with it. I have a cheap 200m
[01:52] <teratorn> sure they did :)
[01:52] <h1st0__> DrSmall: well let me refraise don't install debian packages if there is a version in the repos
[01:52] <anon2000> hi, i am trying to black a cd-rw but i have to know where my dvd drive is in /dev as in /dev/cdrom ... how do i find this out?
[01:53] <teratorn> before warty was a billion years old
[01:53] <anon2000> black=blank
[01:53] <h1st0__> anon2000: cat /etc/fstab
[01:53] <nickrud> teratorn: those were good years, though :)
[01:53] <DrSmall> can;t find it...
[01:53] <livingdaylight> nickrud, this does exactly what gparted did for me; nautilus opens and shows that it is now reading the harddrive and calls it 'disk' inside there is lost&found folder... but i can't create any other folders or copy n paste or drag n drop anything from my ubuntu /home into it...
[01:53] <h1st0__> DrSmall: enable the universe repo System > Adminstration > Software Sources
[01:53] <marginoferror> Hmm, now I have another problem.  I added my user to the group "fuse" but none of my terminals seem to recognize that
[01:54] <h1st0__> !virtualbox
[01:54] <ubotu> VirtualBox is open-source virtualization software for x86, with a proprietary "enterprise" version sporting additional features. Packages for Ubuntu are provided by the makers at http://www.virtualbox.org/ - Setup details at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/VirtualBox
[01:54] <marginoferror> How can I get my terminals to recognize a group I was just added to?
[01:54] <scguy318> Pc_Dark: sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-impress
[01:54] <nickrud> livingdaylight: unmount the drive, unplug it, and plug it back in
[01:54] <h1st0__> DrSmall: ^^^ read what ubotu said
[01:54] <livingdaylight> nickrud, any way of making it writeable? not just readable?
[01:54] <xtknight> DrSmall, cmd line for virtualbox is VirtualBox i think or VBox (capitals)
[01:54] <Pc_Dark> it says it's installed
[01:54] <Pc_Dark> but I don't see it
[01:54] <livingdaylight> nickrud, ok, i'll try that
[01:54] <DrSmall> ok
[01:55] <oandrew> yay
[01:55] <teratorn> haha google owns. inurl:ubuntu/dists/warty
[01:55] <Pc_Dark> is it integrated into the slideshow program?
[01:55] <anon2000> h1st0:  thanks
[01:55] <scguy318> Pc_Dark: OpenOffice.org Presentation?
[01:55] <Pc_Dark> yeah
[01:55] <Pc_Dark> is it like integrated publisher and powerpoint ?
[01:55] <DrSmall> i have universe enabled, but synaptic says it is "not available, but exists in the database"....
[01:55] <xtknight> hmm AMD drivers are being opened up from r5xx chips on.  at least 2d and hopefully 3d soon, reportedly
[01:55] <h1st0__> scguy318: Pc_Dark is he looking for scribus?
[01:55] <h1st0__> xtknight: yep
[01:56] <scguy318> h1st0__: mm dunno perhaps thats what hes looking for :)
[01:56] <livingdaylight> nickrud, what comes back up is the same folder as before 'lost+found' and i still can't create folders
[01:56] <scguy318> Pc_Dark: Presentation is Powerpoint-ish, h1st0__'s suggestion of Scribus for your publishing needs
[01:56] <Pc_Dark> scguy318 I used a openoffice.org application that was like publisher..
[01:57] <john_> Hi, what is a good tool for checking network security on a local machine
[01:57] <vader1102> hmmmmmmm this virtualbox looks like I could have some fun :)
[01:57] <nickrud> livingdaylight: sudo chown <you>:<you> /media/<mntpoint>
[01:57] <h1st0__> Pc_Dark: impress?
[01:57] <h1st0__> john_: nessus
[01:57] <oandrew>  8-)  :)
[01:57] <Jordan_U__> livingdaylight, So you have the partition as you want it, but you can't write to it?
[01:57] <mon^rch> does anybody know how to get the sound working in q3a?
[01:58] <livingdaylight> nickrud, <mntpoint> is /dev/sdb?
[01:58] <Pc_Dark> I guess I'll install scribus too
[01:58] <stemount> hi
[01:58] <teratorn> haha
[01:58] <livingdaylight> Jordan_U__, yes
[01:58] <xtknight> mon^rch, i do know there's something on the forums about it.  at least there is something about enemy territory which uses q3 engine, same solution
[01:58] <nickrud> livingdaylight: no, wherever you're browsing and seeing lost+found
[01:58] <h1st0__> Pc_Dark: openoffice impress is for presentations
[01:58] <teratorn> nickrud: that *is* about the last time I tried it
[01:58] <john_> h1st0,  thanks
[01:58] <h1st0__> john_: np
[01:58] <livingdaylight> Jordan_U__, one chunk of 149gb as ext3 but it comes with 'lost+found' folder in it, where from i don't know, and i cant create any folder or drop anything in it
[01:58] <h1st0__> john_: or you could join and #alt2600 and give your ip away
[01:59] <livingdaylight> nickrud, sorry, don't follow
[01:59] <Jordan_U__> livingdaylight, The lost+found is an ext thing, ignore it
[01:59] <john_> rofl
[01:59] <oandrew> livingdaylight: it has no FileSystem on it right??
[01:59] <livingdaylight> nickrud, i don't know how to use your command ... that is, how to replace the brackets
[01:59] <nickrud> livingdaylight: listen to Jordan_U__ (who seems to be dropping like a fly right now)
[01:59] <h1st0__> john_: well actually you wouldn't have to give it away i'm sure their already trying.
[01:59] <livingdaylight> oandrew, that's right
[02:00] <john_> lol
[02:00] <john_> prolly
[02:00] <Jordan_U__> nickrud, I hate my wireless router :)
[02:00] <tiax> What does the local database function of gtkpod do? Could it help me to actually sync an iPod and not only copy/delete tracks?
[02:00] <nickrud> I'm plugged by wire, I hate mine as well
[02:00] <oandrew> you cant 'use' a disk if it's not pratitioned and formatted (and +rw? lol)
[02:00] <livingdaylight> Jordan_U__, i'm happy to ignore it but i need to be able to create other folders around it or drag n drop/ copy n paste from my ubuntu /home
[02:00] <scguy318> Pc_Dark: OpenOffice draw perhaps
[02:00] <h1st0__> oandrew: no
[02:01] <h1st0__> oandrew: unless it used to have a partition that your recover or something.
[02:01] <oandrew> yup
[02:01] <Jack_Sparrow> hardwire all the way here too
[02:01] <nickrud> livingdaylight: if you can see lost+found, it's formatted. When you plug it in, it's probably /media/sdb1
[02:01] <livingdaylight> oandrew, it's formatted and i've allocated the whole 149gb as ext3
[02:01] <livingdaylight> nickrud, yes
[02:02] <livingdaylight> nickrud, anyway to assign rw rights ?
[02:02] <nickrud> livingdaylight: so, sudo chown <you>:<you> /media/sdb1
[02:02] <oandrew> so you: buy it from the shop> you plug that sucker in> you run *part* program  on it to: partition, format, and >>Yay i can use it now!"
[02:02] <Jordan_U__> livingdaylight, You will be able to, but you should not just copy and paste from your /home with nautilus, follow http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome from the "using the new partition" part
[02:03] <Jordan_U__> nickrud, He is going to be using it as /home
[02:03] <livingdaylight> nickrud, no such file /media/sdb1 ??
[02:03] <nickrud> Jordan_U__: ah, missed that part.
[02:03] <h1st0__> livingdaylight: in /etc/fstab you can mount it so its rw for users
[02:03] <nickrud> livingdaylight: did you see that link Jordan_U__ gave you?
[02:04] <livingdaylight> nickrud, yes
[02:04] <oandrew> brb
[02:04] <nickrud> livingdaylight: I've looked at it before, it's a good howto
[02:04] <livingdaylight> nickrud, i've looked at it.. don't see how it helps in setting this up so i can write to it
[02:05] <Jordan_U__> livingdaylight, And it is probably a good idea to do those steps from a LiveCD, though I am not sure it is absolutely necessary
[02:05] <non|inear> ok i'm about to kill linus...  can anyone please explain why SU and root can't execute commands on a mountted partition, no matter what permissions it's mounted with or assigned to contents???
[02:05] <livingdaylight> h1st0, not familiar with that way..
[02:05] <Jordan_U__> livingdaylight, The editing the fstab part will do that
[02:05] <livingdaylight> Jordan_U__, that is what i was aksing you earlier... but you disappeared... but
[02:05] <nickrud> livingdaylight: it tells you where and how to mount the drive, and the commands on how to make place in the file structure that you will be using writable
[02:05] <slimjimflim> what is the safest directory to install from?
[02:06] <c_plus_plus> Hello, I recently tried installing the nvidia restricted drivers, and after reboot I couldn't start ubuntu. Any way I can remove the drivers from the Live CD?
[02:06] <oxeimon> !hi
[02:06] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[02:06] <Jordan_U__> c_plus_plus, Yes, you can also remove them from the installed system by booting into recovery mode
[02:06] <h1st0__> c_plus_plus: boot the live cd in safe graphics mode.  And there really isn't an easy way to remaster the live cd.
[02:07] <scguy318> c_plus_plus: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?
[02:07] <neramos> hey guys does anyone know if the packatge tightvncserver for Ubuntu server has changed the name or something ???
[02:07] <c_plus_plus> but that would only change the settings on the cd
[02:07] <livingdaylight> Jordan_U__, it is clearly formatted... is there not a simple way now to just make it writeable?
[02:07] <greg-g> "Disk boot failure: insert system disk"..... what are my options for troubleshooting/fixing this?
[02:07] <cornell> Is 256 meg of memory too small for feisty?
[02:07] <scguy318> greg-g: fix your GRUB with Super GRUB CD?
[02:07] <slimjimflim> cornell, not but it'll be slow
[02:07] <nickrud> cornell: for xubuntu, usable; for kubuntu or ubuntu, too small
[02:08] <slimjimflim> *no
[02:08] <greg-g> scguy318,  don't have a super grub, I am running knoppix on the machine now though
[02:08] <slimjimflim> what is the safest directory to install from?
[02:08] <jacob_> how can i access the directories in wine using the command line interface (terminal)?
[02:08] <c_plus_plus> scguy, wouldn't that only change the livecd preferences?
[02:08] <slimjimflim> from source
[02:08] <bruenig> cornell, it really does depend on how you use it, right now I have beryl going and everything but am at 146 mb
[02:08] <cornell> Would dapper be better, I can't change the memory this evening.  And I"m having trouble with feisty
[02:08] <nickrud> cornell: I used gnome for several years, the latest versions forced my to replace my 256M machine
[02:08] <Jordan_U__> livingdaylight, Run that ( with -phigh for less questions ) from the recovery mode, or chroot in from a LiveCD / edit your xorg.conf manually from a LiveCD but that is harder and unnecessary
[02:09] <livingdaylight> nickrud, by the way can one install an oss on an external usb hard disk(2.5) and use it to plug into a computer and boot from it?
[02:09] <larryone> how can I iew the contents of an iso file?
[02:09] <bruenig> larryone, mount it
[02:09] <nickrud> livingdaylight: yes, its done a lot; there's a lot of options under !install
[02:09] <livingdaylight> Jordan_U__, run what?
[02:09] <jacob_> does anybody know how to access the directories in wine using the terminal?
[02:09] <Jordan_U__> !xconfig | livingdaylight
[02:09] <ubotu> livingdaylight: 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
[02:09] <nickrud> larryone:   sudo mount -o loop /dev/cdrom /mnt   ; look in mnt
[02:09] <h1st0__> jacob_: cd ~/.wine
[02:09] <larryone> bruenig, do I need to do any lofiadm stuff for that likeon solaris?

[02:09] <larryone> ok
[02:09] <c_plus_plus> h1st0_: what did you mean by what you said?
[02:09] <saxartist> hi everyone
[02:10] <saxartist> I have an odd problem
[02:10] <SPArk65> Hi all
[02:10] <h1st0__> c_plus_plus: I was answering your question you wanted to remove the nvidia drivers from the livecd?
[02:10] <non|inear> lol i even get permission denied on strace...  any ideas?
[02:10] <livingdaylight> Jordan_U__, ? why do i need to reconfigure X server? i need to make this writeable is all
[02:10] <saxartist> I was over on irc.gamesurge.net and I fell for something really stupid, long story short, they g-lined me because I gave some exploit command that some guy told me to do
[02:10] <saxartist> stupid eh?
[02:10] <c_plus_plus> h1st0_: no... i need to remove the nvidia drivers from my hdd install /w the livecd
[02:10] <saxartist> anyway, I'm trying to change my ip
[02:10] <neramos> hey guys does anyone know if the package tightvncserver for Ubuntu server has changed the name or something ???
[02:11] <saxartist> I know how to access the router, but I can't remember how to change the ip
[02:11] <scguy318> sexartist: release DHCP, renew?
[02:11] <slavik> on feisty amd64, why does OO show words in the toolbar instead of icons? (what broke?)
[02:11] <SPArk65> Can someone help me? I've installed ubuntu on my asus laptop. But i can get both network cards working (LAN and WLAN). Where can i get drivers for those 2..? Please...
[02:11] <scguy318> sexartist: i would think apologizing and communicated with IRCops would be better
[02:11] <scguy318> *communicating
[02:11] <saxartist> scguy318: did you say sexartist?
[02:11] <h1st0__> c_plus_plus: ahh okay well sudo mount /dev/<hdd install> /media/floppy  then sudo chroot /media/floppy  and do whatever you need
[02:11] <scguy318> saxartist: oh! LOL oops
[02:11] <saxartist> wow
[02:11] <h1st0__> c_plus_plus: or you could just reboot your system and boot in to recovery mode on the grub list and remove it that way.
[02:12] <nickrud> livingdaylight:      cd /media && ls  <-- the path for the chown will be in there, if you haven't written anything to the fstab
[02:12] <scguy318> saxartist: i read your nick totally wrong
[02:12] <scguy318> saxartist: sry apologies
[02:12] <slimjimflim> saxartist, change your irc port to 8001
[02:12] <oandrew> livingdaylight: you might want to ask a phsycocat or just trust them and learn something *additional* in the process
[02:12] <SPArk65> can anyone help me plsease?
[02:12] <darkdragon> Hello
[02:12] <saxartist> slimjimflim: link?  I don't know how, sorry
[02:12] <h1st0__> c_plus_plus: how did you isntall the nvidia drivers?
[02:12] <slimjimflim> if you're behind a router, you'll need to forward that port to your local ip
[02:12] <saxartist> nor what that does
[02:12] <saxartist> i know what ports are though
[02:12] <SlimeyPete> saxartist: you generally can't change your ip - your ISP assigns it to you.
[02:12] <saxartist> oh
[02:12] <saxartist> okay
[02:13] <livingdaylight> oandrew: its all above my head
[02:13] <slimjimflim> w/ xchat, you can change the port in settings
[02:13] <scguy318> saxartist: i suppose appealing to the IRCops that barred you could help
[02:13] <slimjimflim> what irc client are you using
[02:13] <darkdragon> How do I whisper to someone ?
[02:13] <h1st0__> c_plus_plus: nvm I remmeber reboot your computer with out the cd.  when grub comes up hit esc.  and select recovery mode.  then once you get a prompt apt-get remove nvidia-glx
[02:13] <slimjimflim> i just fixed this yesterday
[02:13] <darkdragon> O nevermind
[02:13] <scguy318> darkdragon: double clicking their name does it on mah client
[02:13] <c_plus_plus> h1st0__: with the restricted-drivers manager.... Ill try your suggestion... btw.. im having problems with my kbd that make using recovery mode difficult
[02:13] <SPArk65> anyone... plzzzzzz
[02:13] <saxartist> SlimeyPete: if you change your mac address, the isp usually gives you a different ip, it's worked before
[02:13] <slimjimflim> saxartist?
[02:13] <h1st0__> c_plus_plus: ahh does your keyboard work witht he live cd?
[02:13] <c_plus_plus> yes
[02:14] <saxartist> slimjimflim: yes?
[02:14] <slimjimflim> what irc client are you using
[02:14] <saxartist> xchat
[02:14] <centos> spark65:ask ur question
[02:14] <saxartist> no
[02:14] <saxartist> wait
[02:14] <SPArk65> Can someone help me? I've installed ubuntu on my asus laptop. But i can get both network cards working (LAN and WLAN). Where can i get drivers for those 2..? Please...
[02:14] <saxartist> konversation
[02:14] <oandrew> livingdaylight: mine too "this makes no sense to me because i've Got a /home partition already" yikes!
[02:14] <h1st0__> c_plus_plus: okay what /dev is your hdd install on? you can type in sudo fdisk -l and get a list of partitions
[02:14] <scguy318> SPArk65: can you pastebin the output of lspci?
[02:14] <shwouchk> bulmer: ok, made an xo cable
[02:15] <saxartist> slimjimflim: never mind, I found a guide
[02:15] <c_plus_plus> h1st0__: cant i just do what you first said?
[02:15] <SPArk65> scguy318: where can i find it? I'm almost new to unix
[02:15] <slimjimflim> settings > preference > network setup > change the port variable
[02:15] <livingdaylight> oandrew, me too... its my external hard drive i'm trying to put to use by using it as a storage device... but so far can't put anything on it...
[02:15] <scguy318> SPArk65: Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal, then type lspci, then copy the output to pastebin
[02:15] <scguy318> !pastebin | SPArk65
[02:16] <c_plus_plus> h1st0__: gtg right now... ill try the chroot thing.
[02:16] <ubotu> SPArk65: 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)
[02:16] <h1st0__> c_plus_plus: yeah but you need to know what /dev your hdd install is on I was just saying to mount /dev/<hdd isntall>  which could be /dev/sda1 or /dev/hda1 etc...
[02:16] <c_plus_plus> ya... /dev/sda1
[02:16] <alindeman> How do I tell cups to only allow certain users to print?  I've adjusted "Set Allowed Users" but it still allows any printing without authentication
[02:16] <cornell> bruenig: I've a  Dell Optiflex with 256 MEg, my install goes fine, but when it reboots, I get the POST, Grub, says it's loading, and blank screen :-(  Third try on this machine :-(
[02:16] <h1st0__> c_plus_plus: okay sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/floppy then sudo chroot /media/floppy and finally apt-get remove nvidia-glx
[02:17] <c_plus_plus> thanks, bye
[02:17] <Jack_Sparrow> cornell: hit F6 and noapic at the start install screen
[02:18] <Jack_Sparrow> cornell: I have one of those here gx260 or something like that
[02:18] <oandrew> livingdaylight:  what app did you use to part* and format it?
[02:18] <cornell> Re install, hitting F6 and noapic, Jack_Sparrow?
[02:18] <cornell> Yeah, Jack_Sparrow gx260
[02:18] <slimjimflim> can anyone tell me what the most secure directory is to use to install a package from source
[02:19] <Jack_Sparrow> That worked for me here but I need to read back to all of your issuse with this
[02:19] <livingdaylight> oandrew, i did it with gparted and cfdisk... same result
[02:19] <Jack_Sparrow> cornell: It was running 5200 nvidia plugin card for video
[02:20] <cornell> Jack_Sparrow: um... hit F6, boot options... there's a list of stuff, do I add noapic, or replace it with noapic?
[02:20] <Jack_Sparrow> cornell: have you tried sudp dpjg-reconfigure yet
[02:20] <VousDeux> Hello everyone. I've been evaluating Ubuntu Live-CD, and so far I really like what I have found.
[02:20] <Jack_Sparrow> cornell: I just added it to mine.. I think we had different problems
[02:21] <cornell> Jack_Sparrow: sudo something... after it boots?  Can't get  there from here.
[02:21] <scguy318> VousDeux: hello, is there a question that you wanted to ask?
[02:21] <VousDeux> I'm considering installing it on a new laptop, and I'm curious as to what I might expect as far as compatibility with new hardware
[02:21] <Jack_Sparrow> cornell: Can you hit esc at that computer boots to get recovery mode
[02:21] <oandrew> (i take it the 'last' one was cfdisk (=CommandLineInterface) so) do the chmod u+... thing that was suggested before(=CLI) and you should be away laughing
[02:21] <SPArk65> scguy318: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/36844/
[02:21] <VousDeux> The laptop has the latest Intel chipset
[02:21] <scguy318> SPArk65: ty lemme look in a moment
[02:21] <cornell> I can try...  esc at grub?
[02:21] <oandrew> livingdaylight:
[02:21] <scguy318> VousDeux: im not sure how to quantify compatibility, but the LiveCD should help you determine compatibility :)
[02:21] <VousDeux> I'm looking to set it up with a 64-bit OS
[02:21] <shwouchk> bulmer: here?
[02:22] <Jack_Sparrow> cornell: can you get to recovery mode with grub
[02:22] <Jack_Sparrow> cornell: DUal boot or single
[02:22] <cornell> Single
[02:23] <VousDeux> well, in the past I have seen where the latest and greatest hardware may take quite some time before it is fully supported with Linux drivers
[02:23] <Jack_Sparrow> cornell: dOES HITTING ESC AS IT POWERS UP GET YOU TO A GRUB MENU?
[02:23] <scguy318> SPArk65: are you dual-booting XP?
[02:23] <cornell> Yes, Jack_Sparrow, I"m doing that now
[02:23] <SPArk65> scguy318: yes...
[02:23] <Jack_Sparrow> cornell: Sorry..  Does anyone know how to disable caps lock
[02:23] <zec> question - trying to access this website (gb.dadeschools.net) - and can't open up the pinnacle system, which is java
[02:23] <livingdaylight> oandrew,
[02:23] <zec> anyone have any ideas on how to make this work?
[02:23] <cornell> Got a cli
[02:23] <zec> got to click "gradebook"
[02:23] <Jack_Sparrow> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:23] <zec> mine does nothing when I do it
[02:23] <h1st0__> !java | zec
[02:23] <scguy318> SPArk65: this blog post might help with your wired Ethernet card issue: http://www.phoronix.com/blogs/david/?k=blog&i=60
[02:23] <ubotu> zec: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[02:24] <scguy318> SPArk65: don't do it now cuz I'm gonna help with your wireless
[02:24] <zec> thanks
[02:24] <h1st0__> zec: you need runtime
[02:24] <oandrew> livingdaylight:  the stuff you want to know is basically at the middle of that phycocats page
[02:24] <VousDeux> I'm also curious...I have a USB2VGA adapter that appears to only have drivers for Windows...is there any way to convert the Windows drivers to Linux drivers?
[02:24] <zec> well, I tried installing runtime by doing this (https://jdk-distros.dev.java.net/ubuntu.html) already... but it doesn't work
[02:24] <Jack_Sparrow> cornell: Select vesa as your card and defaults on everything else. select simple when asked and do not write frequencies to the xorg.
[02:24] <h1st0__> VousDeux: not really but do a search for your adapter on the forums or on www.google.com/linux
[02:25] <livingdaylight> oandrew, using the new partition: ?
[02:25] <scguy318> SPArk65: do you have your Windows wireless device drivers?
[02:25] <h1st0__> VousDeux: see if someone has written linux drivers for it.
[02:25] <oandrew> livingdaylight: make that "at the bottom of the page"
[02:25] <shwouchk> is the order that my interfaces are in /etc/network/interfaces the same order theyll come up at boot?
[02:25] <VousDeux> OK, thanks!
[02:25] <cornell> Jack_Sparrow:    Autodetect?... No?
[02:25] <Jack_Sparrow> cornell: yes
[02:26] <cornell> oops yes, I should do no
[02:26] <Jack_Sparrow> cornell: we can keep trying until this works
[02:26] <cornell> That is... Yes, I should pick no?
[02:26] <Jack_Sparrow> cornell: Pick no for this try
[02:26] <cornell> k
[02:27] <cornell> VESA, generic video card, ok
[02:27] <h1st0__> cornell: what type of video card do you have?
[02:27] <SPArk65> scguy318: readed, going to try. but when i connect lan-cable (crossover) to my pc, windows shows me the message, thats cable is connected
[02:27] <slavik> wine from git, ubuntu feisty amd64, can't input cyrilic: http://pastebin.com/m7f3a2d37
[02:27] <VousDeux> cool, it says my Startech.com USB2VGA adapter is a confirmed working adapter :)
[02:27] <livingdaylight> oandrew, sorry, but i just don't get it.. i could follow it if it was direct, but adapting it to my different scenario...  :/
[02:27] <Jack_Sparrow> cornell: vesa will work for now
[02:27] <zec> qq - what is the command to install something, like the sun java, in the terminal?
[02:27] <h1st0__> slavik: you may want to ask in #wine-hq
[02:27] <zec> I mean, what do you put before sun-java....
[02:28] <h1st0__> slavik: err #winehq
[02:28] <zec> to install it?
[02:28] <cornell> Actually, I think I should know that, Jack_Sparrow
[02:28] <SPArk65> scguy318: with my old toshiba laptop was no problems at all
[02:28] <slavik> h1st0__: I did, nobody knows there either
[02:28] <cornell> Taking the defaults
[02:28] <Jack_Sparrow> cornell: just trying to see if setting display to generic vesa will fix the problem
[02:28] <h1st0__> zec: sudo apt-get install sun-java...
[02:28] <livingdaylight> oandrew, this is how it is done in pclinuxos - go to start system then file tools then file manager super user mode then go to storage media then look for that partition then properties then permisions
[02:28] <zec> thanks
[02:28] <jeduan> sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre
[02:28] <h1st0__> zec: or just use Applications > Add Remove
[02:28] <livingdaylight> oandrew, but i am in ubuntu
[02:28] <scguy318> SPArk65: prob cuz your old Toshiba gotz a different card
[02:28] <Jack_Sparrow> cornell: I think the onboard is actually intel
[02:29] <scguy318> SPArk65: for the wireless you'll need ndiswrapper-utils-1.9
[02:29] <shwouchk> is the order that my interfaces are in /etc/network/interfaces the same order theyll come up at boot?
[02:29] <h1st0__> shwouchk: sure
[02:29] <scguy318> SPArk65: and follow the Ubuntu Wiki guide to ndiswrapper: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SetupNdiswrapperHowto
[02:29] <oandrew> livingdaylight: lol, i am in damn small linux >just came here to learn abit
[02:29] <shwouchk> h1st0__: thanks
[02:29] <zec> it says that the jre is already installed, "set to manual installed"
[02:29] <SPArk65> scguy318: thanks... i'll try to fix it...
[02:29] <zec> the website still won't load though... any ideas?
[02:30] <scguy318> SPArk65: g/l, return if still issues
[02:30] <h1st0__> zec: hrm....
[02:30] <h1st0__> zec: you could try ies4linux if you know it works in internet explorer.  perhaps its just some bad design or something.
[02:30] <oandrew> livingdaylight: you'll get the help you want here that's for sure! (but not from me -sorry)
[02:30] <Jack_Sparrow> cornell: One thought...  You need to check cmos and minimize the amount of ram that you share to the video card, 256 is minimum and you take away 64 for the video and that puts the hurts to it
[02:30] <davidfwatson> hey, I've installed ntfs-config and I'm attempting to mount a drive
[02:30] <davidfwatson> but after it's all setup
[02:31] <davidfwatson> I go to the mount point in terminal and it says "access is denyed"
[02:31] <zec> h1sto_: ies4linux?
[02:31] <davidfwatson> *denied
[02:31] <Jack_Sparrow> ies4linux is a bad idea
[02:31] <h1st0__> zec: its an easy way to get internet explorer in linux
[02:31] <zec> ok
[02:31] <h1st0__> Jack_Sparrow: what wine?
[02:31] <scguy318> Jack_Sparrow: how is ies4linux a bad idea? i believe it installs itself into separate directory from ~/.wine
[02:31] <Jack_Sparrow> No that tool for installing ie into wine

[02:32] <livingdaylight> oandrew, well, so far i haven't ... one crummy psychocat link i can't adapt to my situation... can't b elieve its so hard to get an external drive set up
[02:32] <Jack_Sparrow> scguy318: Ask in winehq.. they feel the same about that as we do about automatix
[02:32] <larryone> is there a way I can edit a single file in an iso and save it?
[02:32] <h1st0__> livingdaylight: what are you trying to do?
[02:32] <Jack_Sparrow> scguy318: IT is even in their topic that they will not support anyone that used it
[02:33] <livingdaylight> h1st0, same as before... get my external hard drive setup so i can dump stuff in it
[02:33] <h1st0__> livingdaylight: is it partitioned and formated?
[02:34] <livingdaylight> h1st0, yes
[02:34] <h1st0__> livingdaylight: hrm... it should be auto mounted is it usb?
[02:34] <cornell> Ok, Jack_Sparrow, back to command prompt.  Reboot?
[02:34] <livingdaylight> h1st0, yes
[02:34] <Jack_Sparrow> cornell: startx
[02:34] <h1st0__> livingdaylight: doesn't it pop up on yoru desktop when you plug it in?
[02:34] <cornell> mmm
[02:35] <Jack_Sparrow> cornell: I meant to have you remove all resolutions above 1024..
[02:35] <livingdaylight> h1st0, yes, but i can't transfer anything to it.. create folders in it ... you see?
[02:35] <Jordan_U__> livingdaylight, Yes you can
[02:35] <cornell> Didn't offer any, Jack_Sparrow, I accepted the 1024 and below that it had already checked.
[02:35] <h1st0__> livingdaylight: ahh... so its mounted as read only.  Is it an NTFS drive
[02:35] <larryone> if I have an iso file on my desktop, is there any way I can mount it rw and change a file in it???
[02:35] <Jack_Sparrow> cornell: Ok.. where is it at now
[02:35] <SlimeyPete> !iso
[02:35] <ubotu> 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.
[02:35] <Jordan_U> livingdaylight, Where is it mounted?
[02:36] <livingdaylight> h1st0, ext3
[02:36] <cornell> Fatal server error: no screens found, XIO: fatal IO error 104, yada yada
[02:36] <zec> can I get ies4linux through add/remove?
[02:36] <h1st0__> !ies4linux
[02:36] <ubotu> ies4linux is a script that quickly and effortlessly helps you install 3 versions of IE in Wine.

Use Firefox!
[02:36] <larryone> SlimeyPete, that doesn't allow me to write to files
[02:36] <SlimeyPete> not sure if it'll work rw. You could try mounting it and changing something.
[02:36] <SlimeyPete> ah right
[02:36] <livingdaylight> Jordan_U, i'm sorry but that psychocat link is beyond me.... if that is the best you can do to help, i'm sorry, but i can't fly with that
[02:36] <larryone> it says it's mounted rw
[02:36] <winbond> Jack_Sparrow, isnt that a name from that pirate movie?
[02:36] <h1st0__> zec: read what ubotu said
[02:36] <nikolam> larryone: mount iso, with -o -loop and then copy it to some dir and then make new iso? :)
[02:36] <larryone> btu I cant edit files
[02:37] <Jack_Sparrow> cornell: Check how much ram is diverted on there.. If nothing else I can hook up my optiplex and ready exactly how it is setup
[02:37] <cornell> (EE) VESA(0): No matching modes  (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
[02:37] <SlimeyPete> larryone: you might have to copy the files out of it, make the change and then turn them back into an iso somehow
[02:37] <bobbyyu> Does anyone here know what "job-hold-until-specified" means?
[02:37] <livingdaylight> Jordan_U, since you ask it is /dev/sdb1
[02:37] <larryone> nikolam, I tried that, burnt that new iso  and it wont boot - I dont know what options th eoriginal iso was made with
[02:37] <cornell> "check how much ram is diverted", Jack_Sparrow?
[02:37] <oandrew> livingdaylight: "what's the bet that" if you #sudo mkdir /home/yupyup.txt you will find it "right there"
[02:37] <Jordan_U> livingdaylight, Where is it mounted, and again, that link is only if you need to use it as your /home and you aren't doing  a fresh install, it is already mounted fine right now
[02:37] <Jack_Sparrow> winbond: Not just ANY Movie
[02:37] <Lo_Pan> u
[02:38] <livingdaylight> Jordan_U, i did sudo chown <user>:<user> /dev/sdb1 or something like that  but that hasn't helped create write permisssions
[02:38] <winbond> Jack_Sparrow,  ,ur favorite movie?
[02:38] <Jack_Sparrow> cornell: How much of your ram is allocated to the onborad video.. Unless you have an add on card which is invidia

[02:38] <Jordan_U> livingdaylight, I mean the mountpoint, it would be /media/something ( likely sdb1 but could be whatever you choose )
[02:38] <nikolam> larryone: hmmm, what iso is it you are trying to change?
[02:38] <larryone> nikolam, it's the GrubSuperDisk
[02:38] <cornell> Just onboard, Jack_Sparrow.  I should reboot and look at setup?
[02:38] <Jordan_U> livingdaylight, And it shouldn't
[02:38] <Jack_Sparrow> cornell: yes
[02:38] <zec> h1st0_: I tried running the script from the terminal, but it brings up "Error 404: not found"
[02:38] <livingdaylight> Jordan_U, i believe it is /dev/sdb1
[02:38] <cornell> k
[02:39] <eXspes_26651> http://www.pennergame.de/ref.php?refid=7256469
[02:39] <larryone> nikolam, I am trying to add a new entry to the main SuperGrubDisk manu
[02:39] <Jordan_U> livingdaylight, That is not the mountpoint, where did you navigate to to see the files? Wherever that is is the mountpoint.
[02:39] <h1st0__> zec: not sure, I would just search the forums about internet explorer in wine.  I'm sure they have a howto
[02:40] <zec> k, thanks
[02:40] <cornell> Jack_Sparrow: Installed System Memory 256 MB DDR SDRAM...  AGP Aperture 128 MB
[02:40] <livingdaylight> Jordan_U, /media/disk?
[02:40] <livingdaylight> Jordan_U, its called disk and yes /media
[02:40] <PiRoMaNo> How do I run a program I installed with wine but doesn't show in the programs list or on the desktop?
[02:40] <livingdaylight> seems to be the mountpoint
[02:40] <beg1689> is are there any programs that just display a list of applications (like xfce menu, or the gnome menu)? Or, is there a way to access the gnome menu without the panel running
[02:40] <Jack_Sparrow> cornell: I dont think appature is the same as the ram on the card, but you can still cut that way down
[02:40] <nikolam> larryone: I think I sow that super grub disk have source code to download
[02:41] <cornell> Down to 64?
[02:41] <larryone> nikolam, that;s true, and I know what I need to edit, but I dont know how to make my new iso bootable like the old one
[02:41] <Jack_Sparrow> cornell: lower if it will let you, you can always take it up after we get this going
[02:41] <nikolam> larryone: here is some info: http://supergrub.forjamari.linex.org/?section=documentation#SEC4
[02:41] <Jack_Sparrow> cornell: DId you already get a copy of the Alt install disk.?
[02:41] <cornell> Ok... 32 it is
[02:42] <cornell> Yes, I'm using alt install, Jack_Sparrow
[02:42] <h1st0__> PiRoMaNo: look in ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ /Files/  and just wine nameofexe.exe

[02:43] <bobbyyu> Does anyone here know what "job-hold-until-specified" mean?
[02:43] <zec> h1st0_: I didn't find anything for ie and wine... but I don't think I would need to do that anyway - I was able to access the website through firefox when I had windows
[02:43] <Jack_Sparrow> cornell: Default value
[02:43] <larryone> nikolam, thanks a million...  I suppose I need to learn how to google more efficiently =0)
[02:43] <cornell> Ok, 1
[02:43] <zec> it's just that the java applet does nothing when I click on it- it should pop up and start to run
[02:44] <NuCobra> h1st0, ty for the ati link i wiorks now
[02:44] <cornell> Jack_Sparrow: I don't see anything else related to video
[02:44] <kitche> zec: do you have sun java installed?
[02:44] <Jack_Sparrow> cornell: you might try booting to recovery mode one more time and letting it autodetect now.
[02:44] <zec> yup, to the best of my ability
[02:44] <NuCobra> h1st0, Need help With installing FlashPlayer9
[02:44] <Sonicadvance1> A question, I got my Bluetooth working( it seems). and I find my device, which is my Razr V3m. and when I try to connect it says "Obex://[00:1b:52:58:fc:23] " is not a valid location.\n Please check the spelling and try again.
[02:44] <nikolam> larryine: I was glad I could help ;)
[02:44] <ConstyXIV> any good twitter apps for ubuntu?
[02:44] <zec> I have sun java 5.0 and 6.0 web start installed
[02:44] <NuCobra> Need help With installing FlashPlayer9
[02:45] <zec> along with the jre that I did from the terminal
[02:45] <Jack_Sparrow> !flash
[02:45] <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
[02:45] <cornell> boot to recovery, do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, allow autodetect, right Jack_Sparrow?
[02:45] <NuCobra> ty
[02:45] <Jack_Sparrow> cornell: That is what I would try yes
[02:45] <cornell> k
[02:45] <zec> any ideas?
[02:45] <nickrud> zec: did you install the sun-java6-plugin ?
[02:46] <ConstyXIV> NuCobra: just install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[02:46] <Jordan_U> livingdaylight, Run "sudo mkdir /media/disk/test"
[02:46] <SPArk65|busy> scguy318: thanks wired network is working
[02:46] <zec> nickrud: hmmm.... I'm not sure - where would I get that? from add/remove?
[02:46] <SPArk65|busy> ubotu commands!
[02:46] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about commands! - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[02:46] <nickrud> zec: I don't think it got categorized well in add/remove ; use synaptic or the command line
[02:47] <SPArk65|busy> ubotu !commands
[02:47] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[02:47] <Jordan_U> livingdaylight, When you see that that works boot into a LiveCD and follow the linked instructions, they will work from the LiveCD
[02:47] <livingdaylight> Jordan_U, i've done sudo chown <username>:<username> /media/disk and now i can copy things over from Ubuntu
[02:47] <oandrew> livingdaylight: ..but??
[02:47] <SPArk65|busy> ubotu !note
[02:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about note - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[02:47] <zec> ok
[02:47] <Jordan_U> livingdaylight, Boot into a LiveCD and follow the instructions to transfer your /home
[02:48] <cornell> Jack_Sparrow: I hit  autodetect... It's asking for a video card driver, defaults to i810, seem reasonable?
[02:48] <Jack_Sparrow> yes
[02:48] <livingdaylight> Jordan_U, i don't want to tranfer all of /home I want to be able to drag and drop what i like
[02:48] <cornell> Dang... the wife and kid just came home, gotta quit now... see you later?
[02:48] <Jack_Sparrow> cornell: this time select medium setup option
[02:48] <zec> nickrud - just installed the client, the page still doesn't open
[02:49] <zec> gb.dadeschools.net - "gradebook" - nothing happens
[02:49] <nickrud> zec: I see you have the java5 installed as well ; do sudo update-alternatives --config java
[02:49] <zec> ok
[02:49] <neramos> Running Ubuntu Server 6.01 LTS, cant start tightvncserver --> problems with font location...anyone know how to handle it ????????
[02:50] <zec> nickrud: then what?
[02:50] <christopher> I'm having trouble installing the nVidia driver, could someone help?
[02:50] <oandrew> livingdaylight:  then just don't call it /home, you could call it /newhome if you want, or /otherhome (/ohome)
[02:50] <h1st0> zec: none of those links on that site point anywhere
[02:50] <zec> nickrud: I just did the alternatives thing, but... it just brings up a whole lot of choices
[02:50] <zec> h1st0 - well, they do
[02:50] <zec> they opened up with a java applet when I ran it on firefox on xp
[02:50] <phire> I'm getting a "Failed to fetch http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/flex/flex_2.5.33-12_i386.deb  Could not connect to nz.archive.ubuntu.com:80 (202.7.6.10). - connect (111 Connection refused)" error when I use apt-get
[02:50] <nickrud> zec now, choose /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java
[02:51] <zec> choose it?
[02:51] <livingdaylight> i don't understand oandrew why i have to go into a live cd? i just need to be able to transfer stuff?
[02:51] <zec> ok... I'll try
[02:51] <krammer> how do know if i have 3d acceleration?
[02:51] <nickrud> zec pick the number
[02:51] <zec> oh k
[02:51] <zec> sorry, don't see a number
[02:51] <Jack_Sparrow> cornell: Tomorrow
[02:51] <krammer> what is the command?
[02:51] <ConstyXIV> krammer: do you know what graphics card you have?
[02:51] <krammer> ati
[02:51] <krammer> radeon 1400
[02:51] <pavel_> Is it possible to fix an ubuntu install
[02:51] <torbjorn_> I pressed Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get to this console thing. The resolution is a bit high here - Can I lower it? I kinda like this old school look outside of X :-)
[02:52] <nickrud> zec: there's selection (with numbers under it) and Alternative (with jvm's under it)
[02:52] <torbjorn_> edit: the resolution is LOW
[02:52] <ConstyXIV> krammer: go to system->admin->restricted driver manager, enable the ati driver
[02:52] <krammer> I forgot how to do the renendering
[02:52] <zec> nickrud: what number?
[02:52] <zec> oh, sorry
[02:52] <krammer> ive done that thank you
[02:52] <zec> hang on, just saw your response
[02:52] <Jack_Sparrow> pavel_: Depends on how bessed up it is and what messed it up to begin with
[02:52] <h1st0> torbjorn_: did you edit your /boot/grub/menu.1st to make it high res?
[02:52] <oandrew> livingdaylight:  you have a /home directory already. and you said you CAN transfer files onto your external/ext3 harddrive
[02:52] <ConstyXIV> krammer: try turning on desktop effects
[02:52] <Flannel> torbjorn_: You need to change kernel parameters.  Next time you reboot, edit the kernel parameter to include vga=ask, then try a number of them find one that works, then setthat permanantly
[02:53] <zec> sorry - nickrud - don't see any selection or alternative
[02:53] <NuCobra> I still don't see how to install it
[02:53] <zec> OH
[02:53] <zec> hang on
[02:53] <krammer> i cannot enable desktop effects
[02:53] <nickrud> zec: ;)
[02:53] <torbjorn_> h1st0 and Flannel: Thanks for answering! Kernel parameters, what are those?
[02:53] <pavel_> Jack_sparrow well whenever i try to load ubuntu feisty into recovery mode, it hangs on alternating message but its usually something to do with  a "Scsi disk sda"
[02:54] <livingdaylight> oandrew, yes, i want to ...i don't understand why Jordan_U is asking me to go into live cd?
[02:54] <oandrew> livingdaylight: if you want to transfer you whole /home directory to your ext hdd just boot the liveCD and follow that instruction
[02:54] <h1st0> torbjorn_: sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst  and look for the kernel line that has vga=7xx appended to it and remove that "vga=7xx" part
[02:54] <Flannel> torbjorn_: Theyre parameters passed to the kernel at boot.  At grub, hit escape to get to the menu, then highlight the kernel you want to boot (most likely th topmost one), hit 'e' to edit, go to the kernel line, and put vga=ask at the end.  then boot to it
[02:54] <zec> nickrud: help! :)
[02:54] <zec> what's the exact command I'm supposed to type in?
[02:54] <Jack_Sparrow> pavel_: What were you doing that could have caused the problem.  WHat did you recently add or do.  DId you EVER run envy or automatix scripts
[02:54] <zec> sorry, I'm pretty new to this system
[02:54] <torbjorn_> Flannel and h1st0: Is this dangerous?
[02:55] <Flannel> torbjorn_: not at all.
[02:55] <oandrew> just tell Jordan_U what you want to do, because he obviously knows How
[02:55] <nickrud> zec: sudo update-alternatives --config java   ; and type the number to the left of java-6-sun
[02:55] <pavel_> Jack_sparrow this happend after i tried to install XP as a dualboot. o fixed grub already, i have had envy, and uninstalled it and it was loading fine after that. and didnt use automatix
[02:55] <torbjorn_> Flannel: Allright, thanks! Ill try that. btw, what is the irc command for changing nick?
[02:55] <Flannel> torbjorn_: /nick usually.  depends on the client
[02:56] <TorbX> Nice :)
[02:56] <TorbX> I am using BitchX
[02:56] <Jordan_U> livingdaylight, oandrew I am actually leaving now for a plane, sorry
[02:56] <saxartist> am I actually present on this server?  can you see this message?
[02:56] <oandrew> cool
[02:56] <comz_>  irc.mutox.org
[02:56] <Xenguy> TorbX: try irssi :-)
[02:56] <TorbX> Ok, will try that now, see you in a bit!
[02:56] <Jack_Sparrow> pavel_: You fixed grub... has it worked since you fixed grub.. and just uninstalling envy does not undo the damage it has done
[02:56] <pavel_> sazartist yes
[02:56] <saxartist> cool
[02:56] <saxartist> thanks
[02:56] <zec> ok, did it
[02:56] <zec> hope that works
[02:56] <livingdaylight> Jordan_U, lol
[02:56] <pavel_> Jaco_sparrow well grub works, but it freezes while loading ubuntu
[02:57] <nickrud> zec: now, got to firefox and type about:plugins ; see if java shows up there
[02:57] <Jordan_U> Flannel, livingdaylight Wants to use an external USB drive as his /home partition, he is having trouble following http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome I hope you can help him, sorry if I am imposing
[02:57] <nickrud> zec: into the location bar, that is
[02:57] <Jack_Sparrow> pavel_: So you have not gotten ubuntu to run since you installed XP and tried to fix grub
[02:57] <pavel_> Jack_Sparrow correct
[02:57] <Jordan_U> Flannel, Note that he only needs to follow the "using your new partition" part
[02:57] <zec> nickrud: a whole bunch of java versions show up, but the website still doesn't work
[02:57] <zec> oi vey
[02:57] <zec> :)
[02:58] <krammer> the composite extension is not available ????????
[02:58] <ConstyXIV> does anyone know of a good twitter app for linux?
[02:58] <nickrud> zec: got it figured ?
[02:58] <zec> no, not at all
[02:58] <tbeard> I did that too
[02:58] <Jack_Sparrow> pavel_: That helps alot.. in what might be wrong
[02:58] <zec> I was smiling at my hopelessness
[02:58] <livingdaylight> Jordan_U, actually, i'm not attached to calling it /home partition... i was rather saying i have stuff in my Ubuntu /home partition i want to be able to store in my external hard drive
[02:58] <orfelino> #ubuntu-es
[02:58] <nickrud> zec: go to a java test site, google that and you'll see a few
[02:58] <Jack_Sparrow> pavel_: DO you remember what partition Ubuntu was on before you added XP and did you add a second drive in this process
[02:58] <skynet> hi guys
[02:59] <Flannel> livingdaylight: So, just copy them.  you need to make sure the mountpoint for the new partition is writable by your user
[02:59] <orfelino> hola quiero que alguien me diga como por lo menos pongo squit a andar !!!
[02:59] <Flannel> !es | orfelino
[02:59] <ubotu> orfelino: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[02:59] <neramos> Running Ubuntu Server 6.01 LTS, cant start tightvncserver --> problems with font location...anyone know how to handle it ????????
[02:59] <zec> nickrud: it says I'm running 1.6.0, but that it's an "older version of java technology"
[02:59] <skynet> eso es
[02:59] <zec> good grief
[02:59] <pavel_> jack_sparrow, yes i remember and i added a partition, also i installed another version of ubuntu to a third partition and i can get into my original ubuntu filesystem
[02:59] <livingdaylight> Flannel that has been the issue... and now after putting one little file it says that there are only 6gb out of 149 left available
[02:59] <nickrud> zec: yeah, there's an update 2 available, but it's not in ubuntu feisty yet
[03:00] <zec> oh
[03:00] <zec> but, other than that, it's working, according to the test page
[03:00] <Plantain> Hey, how can I setup my single button mouse to emulate a two button mouse (by holding Ctrl+Click or something?)
[03:00] <livingdaylight> Flannel, is there anyway of getting rig of that lost+found folder by the way...
[03:00] <zec> just the website still won't work!
[03:00] <Jack_Sparrow> pavel_: Putting that all together will help you get an answer
[03:00] <zec> it did work in firefox through xp, though
[03:00] <Flannel> livingdaylight: Sure, just delete it.  You... shouldn't have anything in there though, unless you had a powerfailure or corruption or whatnot.
[03:00] <silverwulf> hey
[03:00] <Jack_Sparrow> pavel_: Are you in ubuntu now?
[03:00] <nickrud> zec: Probably it's using something that's in the java update. I helped a guy with getting the latest a few days ago for that reason
[03:00] <zec> nickrud: would you recommend I use ubuntu as my only operating system, or reinstall xp?
[03:01] <zec> oh, k
[03:01] <pavel_> Jack_Sparrow yes my newly installed partition
[03:01] <zec> anything I can do to get it?
[03:01] <zegevrijtt> is it ok that my primary sata becomes sdc not sda ?
[03:01] <Flannel> livingdaylight: lost+found is a place for bad files to be copied, for you to manually try and recover whatever you can.
[03:01] <silverwulf> I just bought an I/O magic drive cd-rw burner... it gave me a primary slave error at boot
[03:01] <Jack_Sparrow> pavel_: sudo fdisk -l > ~/Desktop/partition.layout.txt  in a terminal
[03:01] <livingdaylight> Flannel, i'd like to start all over again...
[03:01] <nickrud> zec: go to the sun site, and download the update 2. Do not get the rpm, get the .bin self installer.
[03:01] <zec> ok
[03:01] <silverwulf> and when I overrode it, in the actual OS it won't loadcd's
[03:01] <Flannel> livingdaylight: Then just nuke everything on your USB drive, yeah.  Or, if I understand what youre doing anyway
[03:02] <pavel_> Jack_sparrow: ran that
[03:02] <orfelino> hola quiero que alguien me diga como por lo menos pongo squit a andar !!!
[03:02] <Jack_Sparrow> OPen with a text editor.. on your desktop
[03:02] <livingdaylight> Flannel, i've just nuked everything(gparted) its from here on i get lost
[03:02] <nickrud> zac, let me know when you have it, I might not have xchat on view so use my nick
[03:02] <Jack_Sparrow> pavel_: WHich drive partition has the * next to it
[03:02] <Flannel> livingdaylight: alright, you'll want to create a new partition in the freespace on the drive.
[03:02] <livingdaylight> Flannel, i click on 'new' and?
[03:03] <pavel_> Jack_sparrow: there was no output
[03:03] <Flannel> livingdaylight: Uh, Answer whatever questions it wants ;)
[03:03] <Jack_Sparrow> pavel_: It put a text file on your desktop
[03:03] <livingdaylight> Flannel, make it ext3 primary
[03:03] <silverwulf> anyone who can help me with a drive problem?
[03:03] <syssyphus> what is a good irc client? do most of you use gaim?
[03:03] <Jack_Sparrow> syssyphus: Konversation here
[03:03] <adelie> silverwulf what's the problem
[03:03] <pavel_> jack_sparrow oh, right dev hda1
[03:03] <livingdaylight> Flannel, what is with the free space preceding mib
[03:04] <pike_> syssyphus: xchat for gui and irssi for command line
[03:04] <Flannel> syssyphus: gaim is a horrible IRC client.  Xchat, Konversation, irssi, are popular ones
[03:04] <zec> nickrud- now what?
[03:04] <Jack_Sparrow> pavel_:  Ok.. It is just handy to have that as a reference
[03:04] <livingdaylight> Flannel, and free space following MiB
[03:04] <syssyphus> ok, thanks.. I'll try irssi.
[03:04] <Flannel> livingdaylight: If you want to start your partition with some space in between it and the start of the drive. (and after)
[03:04] <silverwulf> I bought an I/O magic cd-rw burner (internal) and it gave me a primary slave error on boot
[03:04] <adelie> is gdesklets just a freakin joke?
[03:04] <livingdaylight> Flannel, i just want 149gb of free space
[03:04] <silverwulf> then when I passed that, the actual os recognizes there is a drive installed
[03:04] <silverwulf> but won't read from it
[03:04] <Jack_Sparrow> pavel_: Briefly describe your partitions
[03:04] <nickrud> zec: now go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/download.pl?arch=all&file=pool%2Fmultiverse%2Fj%2Fjava-package%2Fjava-package_0.31_all.deb&md5sum=1ee5aee00fcf611dabe711f4867647e2&arch=all&type=main and download java-package
[03:05] <Flannel> livingdaylight: free space?  I don't think you understand 'free space', free space is unpartitioned -- you aren't using it.
[03:05] <zec> save to disk, nickrud?
[03:05] <nickrud> zec: yes
[03:05] <zec> k
[03:05] <zec> ok, now what?
[03:05] <Jack_Sparrow> pavel_: Is hda1 the ubuntu install you are in right now? and where is the other one.  I am going to want you to post your boot/grub/menu.lst to the pastebin
[03:06] <livingdaylight> Flannel, what is MiB? so i don't want any unpartitioned space do i? Basically, i want all the space available
[03:06] <pavel_> Jack_Sparrow well hda1 was my original ubuntu, then i tried installing xp onto hda2, then installing my newer ubuntu, hda3 is a swap and hda4 is nwere ubuntu
[03:06] <Flannel> livingdaylight: Mibi Bytes.  1024 bytes
[03:06] <Flannel> livingdaylight: right.  You want 0 before and 0 after.
[03:06] <livingdaylight> right
[03:07] <Chascon> say, I know ubuntu dropped ppc support but I read that there is non-official support.  Where does one find this unofficial ppc iso and home page?
[03:07] <zec> nickrud: now what?
[03:07] <livingdaylight> Flannel, using gparted i have to click 'Add' ?
[03:07] <nickrud> zec: ok, now run apt-get install debhelper fakeroot unzip
[03:07] <pavel_> /boot/grub/menu.lst
[03:07] <Flannel> Chascon: cdimage.ubuntu.com
[03:07] <zec> ok
[03:07] <TorbX> Flannel: Hello man. That was a no go. I think. I pressed ESC when grub started the countown, came in to this little box. Entered the top choice, made a new line with vga=ask. And then I pressed the letter that was for boot.
[03:07] <Flannel> livingdaylight: I have no idea.  I haven't used gparted in a few years.
[03:07] <livingdaylight> Flannel, do you tick cylinders box?
[03:07] <Chascon> Flannel: thanks
[03:07] <livingdaylight> Flannel, cfdisk?
[03:07] <pavel_> Jack_sparrow do u want me to copy my grub menulist here?
[03:07] <Jack_Sparrow> pavel_: I need to know what partition did boot..
[03:08] <zec> nickrud: "could not open lock file"
[03:08] <Jack_Sparrow> !pastebin
[03:08] <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)
[03:08] <nickrud> zec: sorry, put sudo at the beginning of that command
[03:08] <silverwulf> adelie: I bought an I/O magic CD/RW burner (Model I523252) internal and on boot it gives me a primary slave error. After I get into the OS it will show a drive connected but won't read discs in that drive.
[03:08] <zec> oops, ok
[03:08] <zec> I should know that by now
[03:08] <zec> :)
[03:08] <Flannel> TorbX: You were in the right place, You don't make a new line, you add to the end of you 'kernel .... ' line
[03:08] <neramos> Is there other software like VNC to tunnel through ssh ????
[03:08] <Jack_Sparrow> pavel_: COme back with the link so people can check it out for you.
[03:08] <pike_> neramos: look into freenx
[03:08] <neramos> Is there other software like VNC to tunnel through ssh ???? with the same featrures
[03:08] <neramos> okey
[03:08] <Lo_Pan> freenx/nomachine ftw
[03:08] <nickrud> zec: I do it all the time too. Probably gonna save my system one day, having to use that 4 letter word
[03:09] <_Lunar_Lamp_> Hmm, I want to allow a user to upload/edit files in a particular directory only on my server. What's the easiest way for me to do this?
[03:09] <zec> nickrud: do I want to continue?
[03:09] <TorbX> just at the end of it? It is logical as well?
[03:09] <zec> ok, lol
[03:09] <nickrud> zec: yes
[03:09] <Flannel> livingdaylight: No, I just haven't done any partitioning in years.  And I haven't really ever used Gparted to begin with
[03:09] <zec> ok
[03:09] <pavel_> Jack_sparrow i booted into hda4 to answer that question, and ill get my menulist up
[03:09] <Jack_Sparrow> pavel_: k
[03:09] <c1|freaky> hi all. can someone tell me how to install a java jre for an jabber server - openfire? it needs a jre but if i install java6 it wants to install firefox and stuff - on a server
[03:09] <Flannel> _Lunar_Lamp_: Easiest way for you to do it would be to use ssh, and let them transfer with scp.
[03:10] <zec> nickrud: now what?
[03:10] <zec> nickrud: by the way, thanks for all the help... really appreciate it :)
[03:10] <pavel_> jack_sparrow: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/36846/
[03:10] <Flannel> _Lunar_Lamp_: Other methods would be setting up an ftp server
[03:10] <_Lunar_Lamp_> Flannel, yes, but how would I lock them to just that dir? Surely if I allow them scp access they can just ssh in and mess around as a normal user?
[03:10] <nickrud> zec: ok, are you in the same directory as where you downloaded the java-package?
[03:10] <zec> um...
[03:10] <_Lunar_Lamp_> Flannel, how can I set up a restricted account for the purpose of the scp transfers?
[03:10] <zec> nickrud: I downloaded the package to my desktop
[03:11] <nickrud> zec: cd ~/Desktop
[03:11] <Flannel> _Lunar_Lamp_: You'd chroot them to whatever directory (and set that as their home directory, so they start out there)
[03:11] <zec> so, yes, I think I'm in the same directory
[03:11] <zec> ok
[03:11] <zec> ok
[03:11] <nickrud> zec: then, sudo dpkg -i java-package
[03:11] <zec> I'm there
[03:11] <zec> one sefc
[03:11] <zec> *typo
[03:11] <zec> one second
[03:11] <livingdaylight> Flannel, i'm nuking it but the old folders are still there
[03:11] <zec> no such file or directory
[03:12] <zec> maybe I need to put the exact name in, nickrud?
[03:12] <nickrud> zec: yes, you do :)
[03:12] <zec> lol
[03:12] <nickrud> zec: type java-package, and without any space, hit the tab key
[03:12] <_Lunar_Lamp_> [02:11:04]  <Flannel> _Lunar_Lamp_: You'd chroot them to whatever directory (and set that as their home directory, so they start out there) <== setting up a whole chroot environment is a a significant amount of work though surely?
[03:13] <silverwulf> anyone who can help me with a compatibility issue?
[03:13] <zec> nickrud: I already typed in the whole command with the whole file name
[03:13] <zec> now what?
[03:13] <Jack_Sparrow> pavel_: Is the first option that gets you to your working install?
[03:13] <nickrud> zec, and try not to hit enter quite so much, makes the screen move to fast for people to keep up
[03:13] <livingdaylight> Flannel, do i have to come in with a live cd to format the external hard drive?
[03:13] <nickrud> zec: ok, you have the download from sun on the desktop?
[03:13] <pavel_> Jack_sparrow: indeed it does
[03:13] <zec> nickrud - yes (and, about the enter too much, you mean, just don't type as much?)
[03:14] <syssyphus> where do I go to get a mentor to help me get involved with packaging and stuff?
[03:14] <Flannel> syssyphus: #ubuntu-motu is a good place to start
[03:14] <_Lunar_Lamp_> zec, you can type long lines without it being a major issue - it gets hard to read if you break up one thought over many lines though.
[03:14] <Jack_Sparrow> pavel_: What is the partition of the non working install
[03:14] <MeRodent> how do I show hidden files?
[03:14] <Flannel> livingdaylight: did you unmount it before trying to change it?
[03:14] <arooni__> hey folks; how can i make it such that ubuntu auto downloads any new releases
[03:14] <zec> I see - thanks
[03:14] <arooni__> and installs them without my help
[03:14] <_Lunar_Lamp_> MeRodent, in nautilus - view>hidden files OR ctrl+H
[03:14] <Flannel> arooni__: update-manager will prompt you to upgrade to new releases when theyre available
[03:14] <pavel_> Jack_sparrow hda1
[03:15] <livingdaylight> Flannel, yes, it is the only way gparted lets one do anything... and it says 141gb used and only 7 available... this is absurd
[03:15] <MeRodent> _Lunar_Lamp_, thanks.
[03:15] <nickrud> zec: no, not 4 lines in a row, of 10 characters or less :)    now, type   make-jpkg <sun download> . You will see a lot of text fly by, don't worry about it, but you will have to accept the license
[03:15] <arooni__> Flannel, i want it to automatigically install them without me saying 'go'
[03:15] <logankoester_> Hey what's that program that replaces "command not found" errors with smart suggestions?
[03:15] <admin__> ???
[03:15] <zec> do I need to include sudo in front of the command, nickrud?
[03:15] <Flannel> arooni__: No, you really dont.  Thats a really bad idea.
[03:15] <nickrud> zec: not this time
[03:16] <Flannel> arooni__: replacing 100% of your packages is not something you want to happen automatically.
[03:16] <nickrud> arooni: for a server running in the dark, that's accepting updates only from feisty-security , it makes sense. But not otherwise, really
[03:16] <gerath> Is there any programs i can you to convert a avi on to dvd format.
[03:16] <silverwulf> can anyone help me get my burner running?
[03:17] <neramos> freenx is not for Ubuntu it seams
[03:17] <arooni__> Flannel, but everytime that it runs i just say go... i dont know what to look for
[03:17] <zec> nickrud: "errors were encountered when installing"
[03:17] <ak5> hi guys! Just wondering what I have to do inorder to let my samba server go through its own firewall. Help is great appreciated. thanks!
[03:17] <Pici> arooni__: You can set security updates to install automatically in system>software sources on the uppdates tab
[03:17] <nickrud> zec: like I said, ignore the text. Accept the license
[03:17] <codecaine> is there a shell scripting room on this server?
[03:17] <sumsl> gn8 alle anderen
[03:17] <codecaine> if u have questions
[03:18] <Pici> codecaine: #bash
[03:18] <codecaine> ty
[03:18] <zec> there is no license to accept- "removing temporary directory: done"
[03:18] <nickrud> zec: put the complete error on the pastebin
[03:18] <livingdaylight> Flannel, it goes in circles.. i unmount, delete, partition and when i execute it says, no, error, coulnd't execute or write coz it was still mounted
[03:19] <pike_> codecaine: but you must answer and obscure riddle involving awk before being allowed to talk there
[03:19] <_Lunar_Lamp_> Flannel, further to my earlier comments about chroot being overkill - I've found a package called "scponly" which seems to do what I want. Thought you may be interested as you obviously hadn't heard of it either (or had forgotten)
[03:19] <gerath> Is there any programs in the Synapitc pac that i can use to convert a avi. file to dvd .
[03:19] <GamingX> I want to switch over from Evolution to thunderbird with all my mail and contacts, any way to do that?
[03:19] <Jack_Sparrow> pavel_: If the uuid is messed up you could try this   http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/36847/
[03:19] <TorbX> Flannel: Yeah, that didnt turn out as I hoped...
[03:19] <neramos> Is there any other software like vnc, freenx to use on Ubuntu Server 6.01 LTS with SSh ?
[03:20] <pavel_> Jack_sparrow: shoudl i copy and paste that into my grub menulist?
[03:20] <zec> nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/36848/
[03:20] <nickrud> gerath: there's devede
[03:20] <ak5> How can I configure IPTables on a Samba host?
[03:20] <Jack_Sparrow> pavel_: It is worth a shot as long as you have a backup
[03:20] <TorbX> Flannel: But thanks anyway! Kudos for helping people out.
[03:21] <gerath> thanks nickrud i try it ..
[03:21] <zec> this is a question for anyone and everyone - would you recommend ubuntu as a personal operating system? or should I reinstall xp?
[03:21] <ak5> I highly recommend
[03:21] <nickrud> zec: no, where you have <java-package_0.31_all.deb> that's supposed to be the file you downloaded from sun
[03:21] <Jack_Sparrow> zec: I love ubuntu but I still dual boot...
[03:21] <livingdaylight> nickrud, any idea how to nuke this thing? i unmount delete format and partition but at the last it can't execute becase ext hd is not unmounted?
[03:21] <TorbX> zec: I recommend Ubuntu. Dude, you are preaching to the choir here...
[03:21] <zec> nickrud - so, I repeat that last command again?
[03:22] <nickrud> zec: yes, with the sun file
[03:22] <zec> ok
[03:22] <Jack_Sparrow> zec: I dont want a virtual this or an emulated that.  If I want XP I have XP
[03:22] <ak5> No one here can help me with IPtables and samba?
[03:22] <nickrud> livingdaylight: I have no experience with gparted
[03:22] <kevix> I am having a problem with usb mass storage devices and my new computer which uses a scsi drive to boot. the boot drive is sda, which is what most USB devices use. Any suggestion or hints?
[03:23] <livingdaylight> nickrud, its the same with cfdisk
[03:23] <zec> so ... it's the bin file I was supposed to put in, not the deb file?
[03:23] <TorbX> Gutsy is going to ROCK on my thinkpad R61, and that is why I left Vista and never looked back.
[03:23] <pavel_> Jack_sparrow: ok ty ima try that in a few minutes
[03:23] <Pici> !nickspam > virg0
[03:23] <nickrud> livingdaylight: sudo umount /dev/sdb1 in a terminal, if the partition is still mounted
[03:23] <Jack_Sparrow> pavel_: good luck, sorry I dont have better answers
[03:24] <syssyphus> kevix, I think you need to use a label in your fstab or something
[03:24] <zec> nickrud: I was supposed to type in the name of the bin file where I typed in the deb file?
[03:24] <nickrud> zec: yes, we'd already installed the jdeb
[03:24] <zec> ok
[03:24] <kevix> nicrud, the device showed up for a second as sdb1 but promply disappeared.
[03:24] <livingdaylight> nickrud, basically i've managed to get writing permission on it... i tranferred a small document folder over and suddenly i'm told that there are only 7gb left out of 149gb and i know the folder was only a couple gb's at most... so, start the process all over again, but every time i reformat either with cfdisk or gparted the folders are still there?
[03:25] <kevix> syssyphus: lables are not normally needed.
[03:25] <nickrud> livingdaylight: if the folders are still there, you're not writing the partition changes to the disk I'd think
[03:25] <zec> nickrud: that time it worked - it's creating the package right now
[03:26] <jkb973> Question: Have several 7.04 Live CDs and a collection of various machines. All CDs were created on same machine, and are OK when checked. But they behave differently on different machines. Some throw 'kernel panic' errors on one machine, but work fine on another.
[03:26] <Xenguy> jkb973: hardware detection issues  ?
[03:26] <zec> nickrud: done, now what?
[03:26] <nickrud> zec: ok, you should see a new deb package on your desktop, right?
[03:26] <zec> nickrud: yes
[03:27] <nickrud> zec, sudo dpkg -i <that package>
[03:28] <zec> nickrud: done...
[03:28] <jkb973> Xenguy: diff disc will work OK on machine that other discs 'panic' over.
[03:28] <GamingX> Hey guys, no one knows how to switch over from Evolution to Thunderbird with all of your mail and contacts?
[03:28] <livingdaylight> nickrud, yes, that's what i'm trying to say... its not writing because it cant because its  still mounted. So, unmount again and go through the whole cycle all over again. but no matter how much i unmount when i write it remounts or something but says it couldn't because its mounted
[03:28] <orbisvicis> why does network manager openvpn 'only use vpn for these addresses' not work?
[03:28] <nickrud> zec then, sudo update-alternatives --config java     and choose  /usr/lib/j2re1.6-sun/bin/java
[03:28] <livingdaylight> Flannel, any ideas? feel like you just dropped me back there :/
[03:28] <jkb973> Xenguy: I got it installed and played with it, but then it failed to start next time around.
[03:29] <zec> nickrud: done... is that it?
[03:29] <nickrud> livingdaylight: hrm. sudo umount /dev/sdb1  . then, type mount by itself, make sure that you don't see /dev/sdb1 in that output
[03:29] <Flannel> livingdaylight: You're obviously not unmounting it
[03:29] <nickrud> zec: go test the java where you did before
[03:30] <neramos> Which Dynamic DNS provider is the best ??????
[03:30] <zec> nickrud: still nothing, oh well...
[03:30] <Pici> !offtopic | neramos
[03:30] <ubotu> neramos: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[03:30] <nickrud> zec: well you have the latest java. It's quite possible that site blocks anything but explorer. Wouldn't be the only one
[03:31] <neramos> Pici thanks, I though id give it a try
[03:31] <zec> ok - then, ies4linux is the only way to get xplorer on there? I tried that, couldn't get the script or wine to work... guess that's another project for another day :)
[03:31] <zec> g2g... thanks so much for your help, nickrud- I just might reinstall xp and then dual boot ubuntu the correct way
[03:32] <Xenguy> jkb973: dunno - sounds like a bad CD/DVD to me
[03:32] <orbisvicis> if i say 'only use 10.8.0.0/24', addresses such as 128.180.xxx.etc wont work .... b/c my openvpn server is not configured as a network gateway.?
[03:32] <Xenguy> jkb973: or hardware issues like I said -- bah
[03:32] <livingdaylight> nickrud, http://pastebin.ca/687903 as far as i can tell it is not showing...but i'lll bet you anything that when i go throughthe process againthe folders will still be showing
[03:33] <rxKaffee> what is the chance that I'll be able to run ubuntu with a minimal window manager on my old compaq laptop? its from teh 486 era
[03:33] <jkb973> Xenguy: yeah, I think swapping CD Drives is the next step
[03:33] <orbisvicis> which is not what is supposed to happen
[03:33] <ConstyXIV> are there any good twitter clients on linux?
[03:33] <rxKaffee> ubuntu include graphic sdrivers for old mahcines like that?
[03:33] <jkb973> rxKaffee: not likely
[03:33] <nickrud> livingdaylight: by that it's not mounted;  sudo cfdisk /dev/sdb
[03:33] <rxKaffee> I'm running cli slackware on it now with framebuffer drivers for the terminal
[03:33] <ubuntu1> .
[03:34] <kevix> rxKaffee: if its that old, then I'd go for deli linux or dsl linux
[03:34] <orbisvicis> !openvpn
[03:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about openvpn - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[03:34] <kahrytan> I need some help. I can't open a cd (it's mounted so dont ask). It keeps giving the error "Couldn't display "cdda:///dev/hdc"." I just want to browse the cd
[03:34] <Xenguy> ConstyXIV: apt-cache search twitter
[03:34] <cappiz> i have a problem... when i get to the gdm login screen i can enter letters as   , but when i get into gnome... those keys are disabled :S
[03:34] <cappiz> any hints?
[03:34] <ConstyXIV> Xenguy: turns up null
[03:34] <rxKaffee> cappiz: change gnome's keyboard layout?
[03:34] <nickrud> kahrytan: is this a music cd?
[03:34] <andresj> hi, I am trying to install Compiz Fusion as in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion, but apt tells me that 'compiz-kde: Depends: libcompizconfig-backend-kconfig but it is not installable', is there another repository I have to add?
[03:34] <cappiz> it is norwegian
[03:35] <Xenguy> ConstyXIV: hrm, stable ?
[03:35] <cappiz> is there anything in xorg.conf?
[03:35] <kahrytan> nickrud, No. Game cd that has music tracks.
[03:35] <nickrud> kahrytan: loo for it in /media
[03:35] <rxKaffee> cappiz: the layout is xorg.conf is what you're seeing at the login prompt I'm pretty sure
[03:35] <Xenguy> ConstyXIV: gtwitter turns up here
[03:35] <cappiz> ok
[03:35] <kahrytan> nickrud, Dev team needs to fix that issue
[03:35] <rxKaffee> cappiz: so I'd suspect its gnome falling back to some other keyboar dlayout option
[03:36] <livingdaylight> nickrud, and all i  have to do in there are two things? 1 create new and 2 assign it 'type' 83 then write and quit, yes?
[03:36] <nickrud> kahrytan: you don't read /dev devices directly, normally
[03:36] <Sonicadvance1> My Bluetooth device uses HCI 2.0 and nothing on the list of devices that work have that version, does this cause problems?
[03:36] <Xenguy> ConstyXIV: but then I'm also running debian (I'm sometimes forget at the time)
[03:36] <rxKaffee> cappiz: if all else fails, you should be able to use setxkbmap from a gnome terminal to pick the layout you like
[03:36] <nickrud> cappicard: you can change your keyboard type with system->prefs->keyboard
[03:36] <cappiz> rxKaffee could it have to to with compiz?
[03:37] <kahrytan> nickrud, I didnt say that. Developers need to make exceptions to Data CDs with Audio tracks.
[03:37] <nickrud> cappiz: just above, I'm bad with tab completion
[03:37] <andresj> hi, I am trying to install Compiz Fusion as in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion, but apt tells me that 'compiz-kde: Depends: libcompizconfig-backend-kconfig but it is not installable', is there another repository I have to add?
[03:37] <rxKaffee> lol too many cappi* in here
[03:37] <thedrs> hi all, does anyone know a better applet for laptop battery than the default one supplied with ubuntu 7.04 (because it can't be configured to do operation when battery is at X%)
[03:37] <nickrud> kahrytan: ah, I see what you mean
[03:37] <rxKaffee> cappiz: doubt it, I don't think compiz/beryl know/care about your keyboard layout
[03:37] <cappiz> nickrud, as i said it IS norwegian
[03:37] <cappiz> ill try without compiz :P
[03:37] <nickrud> cappiz: thought you said you were ;)
[03:38] <livingdaylight> nickrud, seee... as i hit 'write' up pops Nautilus with the 'disk' folder and all the old folders in it
[03:38] <rxKaffee> cappiz: oh, gnome's showing it to be correctly set to norwegian?
[03:38] <pavel_> is there a way to see all the installed packages or apps on a diff partition
[03:38] <nickrud> livingdaylight: then do this. log out of ubuntu, hit ctl-alt-f1, log in there, and run cfdisk from the terminal. nautilus will be off
[03:39] <rxKaffee> hey there vecnah, long time no see
[03:39] <nickrud> pavel_: like another installation on another partition?
[03:39] <cappiz> rxKaffee, yeah it does....
[03:39] <vecnah> hi rxKaffee
[03:39] <cld2> so, I just got a new thinkpad and the advanced docking station with pci slot. Im going to install linux but im wondering if I should install it on the docking station or off? thanks
[03:39] <rxKaffee> cappiz: are there more than one variants of the vnorwegian map?
[03:39] <cappiz> yeah it is...
[03:40] <andresj> pavel_: you could chroot into that partition
[03:40] <rxKaffee> vecnah: not messin with the nipl project anymore mate?
[03:40] <cappiz> rxKaffee, i changed the enviroment file... from utf8 to iso8859
[03:40] <pavel_> nickrud: another installation
[03:40] <Aishiko> does anyone know how to change the channel joining prefrences when you join server under gx-chat?\
[03:40] <nickrud> pavel_: like andresj said, you can chroot to it. sudo chroot /path/to/where/otherinstall/is/mounted
[03:41] <rxKaffee> pavel_: you could use find to pull out executables, and then use package ownership lookup to see what they belong to, then sort it through a filter that keeps only the unique package names
[03:41] <ian_> my ipod is mounting read only, why?  mount -rw doesn't fix it
[03:41] <nickrud> pavel_: for most purposes, you are now running that install; dpkg --get-selections will show the packages in that install now
[03:41] <pavel_> Nickrud, andresj, rxkaffee it wont let me chroot to it, i already tried
[03:41] <c_plus_plus> I have a problem: when I go to a virtual terminal, or boot recovery session, many 0's are repedly printed on the screen, and I can't type anything meaning full.. the same thing happens when i type the 0 key in x windos, but i can stop it by pressing another key.
[03:42] <cappiz> works in firefox, but not terminal :P
[03:42] <rxKaffee> pavel_: my method doesn't require chroot or admin privs
[03:42] <nickrud> pavel_: you have it mounted read/write?
[03:42] <pavel_> yes i have it mounted
[03:43] <shaffy> hello.  would anyone mind helping me with the gmail filesystem?
[03:43] <nickrud> pavel_: but is the partition read/write mounted?
[03:43] <pavel_> nickrud: yes
[03:44] <rxKaffee> nickrud: ALOT, lol
[03:44] <andresj> pavel, you could poke around the /var/lib/dpkg/ in the partition
[03:44] <cappiz> works in nano aswel, but not bash/terminal
[03:44] <andresj> pavel_, you could poke around the /var/lib/dpkg/ in the partition (I always miss the underscores)
[03:44] <rxKaffee> cappiz: :/ once you start talking about utf stuff, you're past ym experience :)
[03:44] <rxKaffee> pavel_: is it a seperate installation, or just a seperate partition of teh same installation?
[03:44] <c_plus_plus> I have a problem: when I go to a virtual terminal, or boot recovery session, many 0's are repeatedly printed on the screen, and I can't type anything meaning full.. the same thing happens when i type the 0 key in x windows, but i can stop it by pressing another key.
[03:44] <ShockSMX> can anyone recommend a solution here: i'm getting a "Operation not permitted" error when i try to sudo chmod 777 on some file
[03:45] <pavel_> rxkaffee seperate partition, seperate instalation
[03:45] <andresj> shaffy, if you tell what's the problem, it would be easier for others to decide if they can help you or not
[03:45] <rxKaffee> pavel_: ah ok... I'd try to find some way to make dpkg look at the other install's package database stuff then I think
[03:45] <livingdaylight> nickrud, ok, those folders are still there.. :s
[03:45] <pavel_> ok ty everyone
[03:45] <nickrud> livingdaylight: did you write an ext3 file system?
[03:46] <rxKaffee> pavel_: maybe even use a knoppix livecd to chroot into that other partition
[03:46] <livingdaylight> nickrud, under 'type in cfdisk i put 83
[03:46] <rxKaffee> pavel_: I've always had good luck with knoppix chrooting into things
[03:46] <pavel_> i just managed to chroot into it
[03:46] <nickrud> livingdaylight: yes, then you must  sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1
[03:46] <pavel_> this is very good for me
[03:46] <rxKaffee> ah nice!
[03:46] <nickrud> good!
[03:47] <rxKaffee> that should save you much headache pavel_
[03:47] <livingdaylight> nickrud, argh...
[03:47] <pavel_> aye indeed
[03:47] <ian_> I have my ipod mounted on ubuntu, the output of mount says "type hfsplus (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)" but I still get a "read only device" error when I try to write to it
[03:47] <nickrud> livingdaylight: two steps, partition, format ;)
[03:47] <thedrs> i will rephrase maybe some1 can help: how can i make it so that my laptop will perform an action (sleep, hibernate, xmessage) when it's battery reaches X% ?
[03:47] <c_plus_plus> I have a problem: when I go to a virtual terminal, or boot recovery session, many 0's are repeatedly printed on the screen, and I can't type anything meaning full.. the same thing happens when i type the 0 key in x windows, but i can stop it by pressing another key. Does anyone know what the reason for this is? It seems to happen no mater if im using my wireless keyboard or not.
[03:47] <nickrud> livingdaylight: if you'd just go thru the steps on that psycocats page ...
[03:48] <nickrud> livingdaylight: forget about figuring out shortcuts
[03:48] <GamingX> I am using Gaim, and it blocks several file formats, how do I get about configuring to allow certain filetypes?
[03:48] <andresj> hi, I am trying to install Compiz Fusion as in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion, but apt tells me that 'compiz-kde: Depends: libcompizconfig-backend-kconfig but it is not installable', is there another repository I have to add?
[03:48] <livingdaylight> nickrud, its not that... i'm not capable of adapting to the psychocat thing...i'm too dumb
[03:49] <shaffy> okay andresj.  i followed the directions here http://richard.jones.name/google-hacks/gmail-filesystem/gmail-filesystem-installing.html and here http://richard.jones.name/google-hacks/gmail-filesystem/gmail-filesystem-using.html for installing the gmailFS.  however, upon mounting the gmailfs the following error arose
[03:50] <andresj> shaffy, what error?
[03:50] <nickrud> livingdaylight: no, you're not. Just do each step, and copy them exactly
[03:50] <shaffy> sorry, here it is
[03:51] <shaffy> ImportError: No module named fuse
[03:51] <shaffy> there is a bit of info above it, i just don't want to paste it all here
[03:51] <nickrud> livingdaylight: if you don't understand what's happening there, you're definitely not knowledgeable enough to create a new method yourself. That doesn't mean you're stupid, though

[03:52] <andresj> shaffy: apt-get install python-fuse
[03:52] <Heru> How escape the mouse on VirtualBox
[03:52] <matthew_> how do you turn off the "warning" when you try to empty the recycle bin?
[03:52] <Heru> :P
[03:52] <shaffy> would you like to see the entire log of the mount?  (it's only about 8 lines)
[03:52] <SpudDogg> Heru, by default it's right control
[03:52] <Heru> Ctrl + right
[03:52] <SpudDogg> Heru: just hit the right Ctrl button
[03:52] <leo^> whats the command to findout how much free memory you have
[03:52] <shaffy> okay, thanks andresj.  i'll give that a shot right now and let you know what happens.
[03:52] <IanLiu> Hello. I'm going to install windows in another partition, but when I do this, I lose Grubby start menu, where I choose OS. How can I install windows and still be able to chose the OS?
[03:52] <andresj> ok
[03:53] <Pici> !fixgrub | IanLiu
[03:53] <ubotu> IanLiu: 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
[03:53] <SPArk65|busy> IanLiu: You can use GRUB loader
[03:53] <IanLiu> thanks ;-)
[03:53] <SPArk65|busy> IanLiu: You can still install this manager from your ubuntu install-cd
[03:54] <Pc_Dark> is there a driver I can install to run my Logitech Wave Laser Desktop Cordless system?
[03:55] <kevix> Pc_Dark: the 'cordless nature has nothing to do with it working on linux. it is seen as a (usb,ps2,serial) mouse.
[03:55] <shaffy> andresj, there is a new error in installing the gmailFS.  "AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Stat'
[03:56] <Pc_Dark> kevix: well, I want to get the extra keys to work with it
[03:56] <orfelino> #ubuntu-es
[03:56] <Pc_Dark> (it's designed for windows, but I'm not getting my windows PC 'till march)
[03:56] <andresj> shaffy, maybe you need to 'sudo mobprobe fuse' or maybe the python-fuse version that comes with ubuntu is too old...
[03:56] <livingdaylight> nickrud, i bet sudo mkfs.ext3 isn't the whole command
[03:57] <livingdaylight> nickrud, its sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda or something right?
[03:57] <kevix> Pc_Dark: never having seen it, in linux it should be a matter on editing the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file with the setting for the extra buttons in the mouse sections.

[03:58] <G3R> audacious
[03:58] <shaffy> andresj, the python-fuse version is 2.5-5build1.  i will try the mobprob command now and let you know what happens.  thanks.
[03:58] <andresj> ice109, xmms
[03:58] <ice109> k
[03:58] <Expecto> I realize that this isn't "podencoder help" or whatever, but does anyone have any clue where podencoder dumps it's files when it rips dvds
[03:59] <shaffy> xmms doesn't have the media library though like winamp and amarok, does it?
[03:59] <ext3> Expecto: I'd look in /tmp
[03:59] <VousDeux> Does anyone have any experience with installing 64-bit Ubuntu on an Intel Merom chipset? I'm wondering if I can do that from the (AMD64) version of the ISO.
[03:59] <rxKaffee> ice109: audacious or audacity are winampish
[03:59] <Expecto> ext3, not there
[03:59] <ice109> im running xubuntu
[03:59] <Expecto> i'm checking hidden files right now
[03:59] <ext3> Expecto: does it have a .podencoder dir or something?
[03:59] <ice109> and it has gxine installed and i mean i can't drag m3u files to the playlist or folders or anything
[04:00] <Expecto> no it doesn't, ext3
[04:00] <routerguy> i am running ubuntu lamp server. How to i allow another user to have read write access to the default apache website files
[04:00] <orfelino> hi please how i can config squit , i have but not work quitly
[04:00] <orfelino> the chache service
[04:00] <andresj> shaffy, I just noticed that gmailfs is available in ubuntu, just do 'sudo apt-get install gmailfs'
[04:00] <h1st0> routerguy: chmod them.
[04:00] <h1st0> routerguy: actually chgrp them and put that other user in the group
[04:00] <routerguy> i am a newbie i need the full command please
[04:01] <routerguy> or point me to a help file
[04:01] <ice109> how can i change file associations?
[04:01] <h1st0> !permissions > routerguy
[04:01] <paradizelost> hey all. i've got a Sound Blaster X-FI Xtremegamer and feisty doesn't see it. anyone know how to get it working?
[04:01] <shaffy> well shit.  thanks andresj.  i'll do that now.  how did you find out about it?  the synaptic manager?
[04:02] <andresj> shaffy, actually, I use kubuntu so I found it in Adept Manager
[04:02] <h1st0> !sound > paradizelost
[04:02] <ice109> change file associations anyone?
[04:02] <h1st0> ice109: right lcik on file and change open with
[04:02] <ice109> k
[04:02] <Expecto> Anyone else know where podencoder dumps dvd rips?
[04:02] <ice109> i should've thought of that myself
[04:02] <VousDeux> !merom
[04:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about merom - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[04:02] <h1st0> Expecto: you can use locate to find a file.
[04:02] <syssyphus> do any popular linux desktop managers support tiling windows?
[04:03] <routerguy> thanks
[04:03] <Expecto> h1st0, i don't know hwat it would be called
[04:03] <h1st0> Expecto: man podencoder maybe its in there?  or their may be a config file in /etc/pod....
[04:03] <ShockSMX> i can't delete this file. does that mean something has a lock on it?
[04:03] <ShockSMX> how do i find out what has the lock?
[04:03] <h1st0> ShockSMX: whats the error you are getting?
[04:03] <Expecto> it's bash, does that mean anything?
[04:04] <ShockSMX> Operation not permitted
[04:04] <shaffy> adresj, must i still perform the mount options, or will the installer take care of all that?
[04:04] <h1st0> ShockSMX: you don't have permissions to the file.
[04:04] <h1st0> ShockSMX: what file are you trying to remove and where is it?
[04:04] <andresj> ShockSMX, you have to use sudo
[04:04] <ShockSMX> h1st0: sudo chmod 777 doesn't do anything, gives me error too
[04:04] <andresj> shaffy, I am not sure about that.
[04:04] <ShockSMX> same error
[04:04] <h1st0> ShockSMX: What file are you trying to remove?
[04:04] <ShockSMX> home/.juniper_networks/network_connect/xlaunchNC.sh
[04:05] <Expecto> That's what I don't know.  I encoded a dvd with default settings and I can't find it
[04:05] <Expecto> i thought it was in /tmp
[04:05] <Expecto> but it wasn't
[04:05] <h1st0> ShockSMX: unless its in use?  you should be able to remove that. since its in your home
[04:05] <livingdaylight> nickrud, ok, at last some progress, i'm only left with lost+found again
[04:05] <ShockSMX> well yeah, shit, that's what i'm asking, how can i find out what's using it
[04:05] <shaffy> hmm, i can't see to find the mounted drive.  i can't even find the executable.
[04:05] <h1st0> ShockSMX: ps aux | grep xlaunch
[04:05] <ShockSMX> thanks
[04:06] <shaffy> andresj, if it were already mounted, i would be able to see the drive in the file manager, correct?
[04:06] <ShockSMX> h1st0: nothing. the only thing that comes up is "grep xlaunch".
[04:07] <andresj> shaffy, still not sure (I use kubuntu), but it should appear when you do 'mount' in the command line
[04:07] <nickrud> livingdaylight: that's a perfectly good filesystem , ready to be home. Now, you don't want to hear this, but go to http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome and start Using the new partition :)at
[04:07] <Heru> What is the "host" button ( the flag ? )
[04:07] <h1st0> ShockSMX: well perhaps that bash launches another program?
[04:07] <Pici> !nickspam > CCTV
[04:08] <h1st0> ShockSMX: try ps aux | grep juniper
[04:08] <ShockSMX> nope
[04:08] <Expecto> h1st0, podencoder says that the scratch dir is /tmp and that the output directory is "."
[04:08] <livingdaylight> nickrud, i don't get it? what am i supposed to do with that link?
[04:08] <shaffy> andresj, can you tell me how i can find any documentation installed with the gmailfs via apt-get?  i
[04:09] <h1st0> Expecto: that means it outputs in whatever folder you are in when you run it.
[04:09] <shaffy> i'm hoping there might be some instructions
[04:09] <livingdaylight> nickrud, i've done sudo chmod <user>:<user> /media/disk and now i can write and transfer stuff, can't i?
[04:09] <nickrud> livingdaylight: where that has hda7 , you will put sdb1 , and all you need now is to figure out what your original install partition is.
[04:09] <_aaa> which printer is a good, easy one to use for Ubuntu 7.04 OS?
[04:09] <h1st0> shaffy: /usr/share/doc is usally where its at.  or man gmailfs
[04:09] <nickrud> livingdaylight: that is not the right way to do it.
[04:09] <paradizelost> damn. CreativeLabs X-FI cards are unsupported by the ALSA team
[04:10] <andresj> shaffy, you can get all the files installed by a package like this: 'dpkg-query -L <package>'
[04:10] <rxKaffee> :/ creative used to have GREAT support
[04:10] <livingdaylight> nickrud, why not? i can just copy and paste and transfer what i want that way... i don't need an exact duplifate of my /home folder
[04:10] <kersinc> #ubuntu-es
[04:10] <paradizelost> they say it's because creative is actively preventing support by not releasing datasheets
[04:10] <paradizelost> :(
[04:10] <nickrud> livingdaylight: you'll loose all your old settings, etc. If all you want is data, sure.
[04:11] <shaffy> thait.nks andresj.  i appreciate it bro.  i'll keep hacking away at.  by the way, the mobprobe command did not work.
[04:11] <livingdaylight> nickrud, what would i lose? what do you mean by settings? data, yes... if you mean documents, movies, music, images, and photos
[04:11] <nickrud> me, I like keeping the setups I have. security keys I've downloaded, extensions to firefox, etc
[04:11] <VousDeux> I think I found my answer...the description for the (AMD64) version of the kubuntu ISO says I can install it on EM64T architecture. The Intel Merom falls into this category. Thanks.
[04:12] <sevin8nin> can anyone help me (noob) figure out why my cd-rom won't mount?
[04:12] <Polygon89> livingdaylight, youw ould lose all the settings from your programs and stuff
[04:13] <rxKaffee> sevin8nin: you mounting from the gui or commandline?
[04:13] <sevin8nin> don't know either, that's how noob i am
[04:13] <rxKaffee> sevin8nin: are you typeing or clicking to try to mount?
[04:13] <sevin8nin> all i know is i installed ubuntu and beryl, and when i try to open the cd-rom is just says "drive not mounted"
[04:13] <sevin8nin> i guess clicking
[04:13] <routerguy> where can i read about chgrp the file permissions file only talked about chmod
[04:13] <c_plus_plus> I have a problem: when I go to a virtual terminal, or boot recovery session, many 0's are repeatedly printed on the screen, and I can't type anything meaning full.. the same thing happens when i type the 0 key in x windows, but i can stop it by pressing another key. Does anyone know what the reason for this is? It seems to happen no mater if im using my wireless keyboard or not.
[04:14] <livingdaylight> nickrud, so, you want me to got through that line by line?
[04:14] <rxKaffee> sevin8nin: ah... I dunno the ubuntu clicky method, but from a commandline, you should be able to run "sudo mount /dev/cdrom"
[04:14] <livingdaylight> nickrud, and just replace ha7 with sda1?
[04:14] <Downix> ok, how in the world do I set the backingstore flag in ubuntu
[04:14] <rxKaffee> sevin8nin: then "sudu umount /dev/cdrom" when you're ready to eject it
[04:14] <greenpower> hi does the airport extreme wlan work under ubuntu?
[04:14] <Downix> ?
[04:14] <sevin8nin> thank you. I need to learn more stuff about using the terminal
[04:15] <nickrud> livingdaylight: it's your choice. If all you really care about is data, you can copy that over and pick up with "Next, we're going to specify to use the new home partition as /home:"
[04:15] <livingdaylight> Polygon89, could you explain more... i don't understand what settings and where. In ubuntu or in the backup storage device?
[04:15] <sevin8nin> cool, it says it can't find /dev/cdrom in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[04:15] <shaffy> andresj, give me some info one where i can start doing this: "To use GmailFS, please use fuse-source to compile appropriate modules
[04:15] <shaffy> for your running kernel."
[04:15] <shaffy> *can you give me
[04:15] <gerath> anyone know if i can use vmware player for linux ubuntu to get a image of winodows or how to open another os in linux i tried win and Vmware nothings seems to work
[04:15] <livingdaylight> nickrud, what does data include and not include?
[04:15] <syssyphus> /search linux
[04:15] <nickrud> livingdaylight: well, you could do ls .* in a terminal
[04:16] <nickrud> livingdaylight: that's settings
[04:16] <Polygon89> livingdaylight, in linux (and even mac os x) operating systems, your settings are all saved in your home folder
[04:16] <routerguy> where can i read about chgrp the file permissions file only talked about chmod
[04:16] <Polygon89> livingdaylight, cause your home folder is unique to each user
[04:16] <VousDeux> Now, if I could only figure out how to make the USB2VGA (sisusb) work...may be a dead-end.
[04:16] <Polygon89> livingdaylight, so if you are using Ubuntu (gnome), go to your home folder, and press ctrl+h, and you will see all the hidden folders which are prefixed with a .     those are your various program settings and login info and stuffs
[04:17] <andresj> shaffy, sorry, that goes beyond my knowledge of ubuntu :)
[04:17] <nickrud> routerguy: man chgrp has a summary
[04:17] <shaffy> no worries.  thanks andresj.  :)
[04:17] <shaffy> p.s. (fucking gmailfs)
[04:17] <Nicark> sevin8nin, cat /etc/fstab |grep cdrom ?
[04:17] <shaffy> ^-^
[04:17] <livingdaylight> Polygon89, but if i just want the music .... say 60 gb of music so i can transfer from one os to another i don't need settings do i?
[04:17] <andresj> hahaha
[04:17] <Downix> I'd just be happy to get backingstore to actually work
[04:17] <shaffy> hehe
[04:18] <sevin8nin> it says    /dev/scd0       /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
[04:18] <nickrud> gmail pop once, and imap from there on out ;)
[04:18] <Polygon89> livingdaylight, no, you can just take your personal stuff from your home folder and run with it, but when you install ubuntu again all your settings will be like you first installed it
[04:18] <livingdaylight> nickrud, if i follow that line by line, i'll be ok aguess... and what i'll have is a replica of my /home in the external storage device?
[04:18] <nickrud> livingdaylight: yes.
[04:19] <ubuntu_> hi
[04:19] <Nicark> sevin8nin, then sudo mount /dev/scd0
[04:19] <sevin8nin> mount: special device /dev/scd0 does not exist
[04:19] <robert__> hey
[04:19] <sevin8nin> :-\
[04:19] <VousDeux> can anyone recommend any decent stock charting software?
[04:20] <Downix> Hmm, any good X channels on freenode?
[04:20] <numus> anyone install ndiswrapper for linksys wpc11 and now how to get it to start on xubuntu startup
[04:20] <nickrud> livingdaylight: we're assuming that your root partition, the one they're calling hda1 is also hda1 on your system. Is that true?
[04:20] <Korvak> I forgot both my username and password for Ubuntu. What should I do? Booting in recovery mode simply asks for a password too.
[04:20] <esun819> hey is anybody on gutsy
[04:20] <Moniker42> how do i get a list of partitions on the hard drive in my computer with their sizes etc at the terminal?
[04:21] <Downix> Moniker42: df
[04:21] <Moniker42> !gutsy | esun819
[04:21] <ubotu> esun819: Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10) | (due October 2007) | It is development software, as such unstable, support _only_ in #ubuntu+1
[04:21] <livingdaylight> nickrud, no, that would be sda1 aguess ; the xternal usb device being sdb1
[04:21] <Moniker42> thanks Downix
[04:21] <esun819> is gutsy very compatible with compiz fusion?
[04:21] <esun819> does it work out of the box?
[04:21] <Korvak> Can someone help me figure out my Ubuntu username and/or reset it and my password?
[04:21] <Downix> I'm still not 100% up on ubuntu yet, but it's growing on me
[04:21] <numus> anyone know how to get ndiswrapper to load on startup
[04:21] <apeitheo> Are there any fliers or anything of the sort for Ubuntu that I could hang around my college dorm?
[04:21] <Pici> esun819: Gutsy questions in #ubuntu+1
[04:22] <nickrud> livingdaylight:   yes, it's sda1 , I still have your output from the mount command
[04:22] <robert__> hey after 24 hours of ubuntu i love it
[04:22] <esun819> how do i join that Pici

[04:23] <numus> great my sound on my dell latitude isnt working
[04:23] <esun819> i have a latitude too
[04:23] <numus> is there an instant fix or do i need to research how to get it to work
[04:23] <esun819> what verison robert__
[04:23] <robert__> 7.4
[04:23] <andresj> Korvak: boot to a livecd (the ubuntu livecd is just fine), mount the partition, 'sudo chroot /path/to/partition', and then do 'passwd <youruser>'
[04:23] <sevin8nin> anyone know why when i double click my cd-rom it says "unable to mount device"
[04:23] <numus> and why am i getting sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Sep  8 22:11:19 2008
[04:24] <livingdaylight> nickrud, ok, so i just have to be super aware ha1=sa1; ha7=sb1.... alrite...here goes
[04:24] <Korvak> andresj, I'm not sure what the partiion is called. Is there a way to figure it out? it's a SATA drive.
[04:24] <whyameye_> numus: does the -m flag for ndiswrapper do what you want?
[04:24] <VousDeux> need to logout of live-cd to burn a new cd...thanks
[04:24] <numus> whyameye_ i need to modprobe -i ndiswrapper
[04:24] <numus> god xubuntu is different then ubuntu
[04:25] <esun819> oh Moniker42 thanks a lot figure it out lol just click tab lol
[04:25] <whyameye_> numus: right...and I believe if you do "ndiswrapper -m" then it will automatically load next time you reboot the kernel.
[04:25] <numus> whyameye_ the problem is i am getting a timestamp error in sudo
[04:26] <Korvak> Any way to see a list of drives and/or partitions?
[04:26] <andresj> Korvak: you can start gparted (maybe you'll need to install it in the livecd: 'sudo apt-get install gparted' in the console) and see which partition is the one you use
[04:27] <sezky> hey well it worked im back on ubuntu
[04:27] <sezky> but my winxp partition got unmounted
[04:27] <robert__> does anyone know the trick on how to switch from onboard graphic card to a pci video card?
[04:27] <Virion> hi
[04:27] <numus> sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Sep  8 22:11:19 200
[04:27] <Korvak> Robert: Just plug the monitor into the PCI one, and disable the onboard graphics in the BIOS.
[04:27] <andresj> Korvak: you can also do 'echo /dev/hd* /dev/sd*', and that will give you another list (though less comprensible)
[04:28] <Virion> my code::blocks doesn't work on ubuntu feisty
[04:28] <numus> 7
[04:28] <Virion> installed, but after i launched it, it not responding
[04:28] <nickrud> robert_: either disable the onboard, or list the pci id of the other in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:28] <sezky> yeah robert_ reboot press "del" on boot and in bios settings select Integrated Perip
[04:28] <sezky> make sure it's disabled
[04:28] <robert__> cool i'll give it a try
[04:29] <ttmrichter> Silly networking question: how do I make Linux stop using my wifi connection as its default when I've got a perfectly good (and much faster, natch) wired connection at the same time?
[04:29] <sezky> any ideas on how mounting my winxp parition ?
[04:29] <andresj> ttmritcher, I think you can disable it right clicking on the networking icon in the tray
[04:29] <Korvak> andresj: I have a ton of them. It says /dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb /dev/sdb2 /dev/sdb5 /dev/sdb6 and many others.
[04:30] <andresj> sezky, what filesystem does it use? fat or ntfs?
[04:30] <sezky> ntfs
[04:30] <ttmrichter> andresj: I don't want to disable it.  I want it to be the fallback.  I mean really, if I have a choice between two interfaces: one fast and reliable, one slower and not as reliable, why would I default to the second?
[04:30] <sezky> i had it mounted before it's just
[04:30] <sezky> i had to reinstall windows xp
[04:30] <sezky> and the grub bootloader
[04:30] <andresj> Korbak, then I think it's easier to to use gparted
[04:30] <whyameye_> numus: did you try "sudo -K"
[04:31] <Shadow6363> Korvak, andresj , sudo fdisk -l
[04:31] <numus> whyameye_ no
[04:31] <whyameye_> numus: try it and then try your command again and let me know.
[04:31] <numus> whyameye_ it gives me hte smae error with teh -k
[04:31] <andresj> Shadow6363, oh... why do I always miss the ovbious answers! ;)
[04:31] <whyameye_> numus: capital K?
[04:31] <numus> nod
[04:31] <livingdaylight> nickrud, by the way... alt+F1 how does one get back into X? i did startx but didn't work and had to reboot each time
[04:32] <Shadow6363> Korvak, each sda, sdb is a drive, then sda1, sda2, sdb1,sdb2 are partitions on that drive
[04:32] <monkeyBox> Help! I've just installed ubuntu on my PC,  and it's going into an infinite reboot!  I see the POST screen,  and then it says "Verifying DMA pool Data", and then "Boot from CD:" ,  at which point it stalls for about a minute and then reboots.  What's going on here?
[04:32] <xeer> in the network panel, how can i have multiple aliases for an ip address?
[04:32] <xeer> my question is regarding the hosts tab
[04:33] <Jeaton> has anyone here ever installed Ubuntu on a PS3?
[04:33] <andresj> ttmritcher, I'm not sure if it would work, but you could switch the places of the interfaces (first the fallback? last the fallback?) in /etc/network/interfaces
[04:33] <monkeyBox> (btw, there's no CD in the drive)
[04:33] <livingdaylight> anyone know? from command line how does one get back into gui without rebooting?
[04:33] <whyameye_> numus: adjust the date and time to later than sudo is reporting, then try "sudo -K" again. If it works then adjust the time back to the correct time.
[04:33] <numus> whyameye_ i am doing a massive update to xubuntu right now
[04:34] <andresj> livingdaylight: Alt+F7
[04:34] <ttmrichter> andresj: That makes it so that the wifi is never used, even if the ethernet is unplugged.
[04:34] <whyameye_> numus: oh. Then don't do that. :-)
[04:34] <andresj> livingdaylight: or if that doesn't work: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[04:34] <Xenguy> livingdaylight: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[04:34] <cheebz88> i'm trying to access this usb external drive i have, but for some reason it's not showing up
[04:34] <livingdaylight> andresj, thx... will see if i can remember that one... i thought there was a command like startx or something
[04:34] <xeer> how can i set multiple aliases for a host address?
[04:34] <cheebz88> it brings up the window and asks what i want to do with it, but when i click open in new window, it just does nothing
 ps3 has only 256mb ram, there are especific versions of ubuntu to run on ps3, & you'd better use a lightwight window manager
[04:34] <lita_kontet> gudgiwu
[04:35] <livingdaylight> andresj, Xenguy that's a long line to remember... :s
[04:35] <whyameye_> numus: and you could try lowercase -k as welll...
[04:35] <numus> whyameye_ i did both.. do you know hwo to auto install audio card too
[04:35] <Korvak> Shadow6363, I found a linux partition, and a linux swap. How do I mount the correct one to reset the pw.
[04:35] <Jeaton> ok
[04:35] <Xenguy> livingdaylight: all the services are in /etc/init.d
[04:35] <andresj> xeer: edit /etc/hosts with this format: '125.58.456.4(ip) host1 host2 host3'
[04:35] <Ex-Cyber> Jeaton: see http://www.psubuntu.com
[04:35] <Jeaton> thanks
[04:35] <Jeaton> also, i thought the PS3 had 512 mb of ram
[04:35] <Shadow6363> Korvak, what are you trying to do?
[04:36] <Jeaton> just it was split and used two different types
[04:36] <tinin> Jeaton, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PlayStation_3
[04:36] <Jeaton> thanks
[04:36] <Korvak> Shwadow, I'm trying to reset my Ubuntu pw so I can get into the OS. I forgot the username and password after several months of not using it.
[04:36] <BorisYaltsin> Hi, how do I resize a reiserfs partition from the text installer?
[04:36] <whyameye_> numus: what is your audio card? do you see it listed with lspci command?
[04:36] <gerath> is there in way in the command line that i get a ipconfig or address listing of what is assign to the nic
[04:36] <xeer> andresj, yes, i've tried the space delimiter but it uses only the first one
[04:36] <whyameye_> gerath: ifconfig
[04:36] <andresj> Korvak, create a directory: 'sudo mkdir /mnt/linux'; then 'sudo mount /dev/sdXX /mnt/linux'
[04:37] <numus> sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Sep  8 22:11:19 200
[04:37] <numus> 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801CA/CAM AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01)
[04:37] <gerath> thanks whyameye it works
[04:37] <rockets> Is there any way to remove the contents of a metapackage?
[04:37] <rockets> e.g. i want to remove everything the metapackage installed
[04:37] <Shadow6363> Korvak, i believe its more common practice to use /media/ as opposed to /mnt/ but im not sure
[04:37] <Pelo> rockets,  not realy
[04:37] <rockets> Pelo, great . . .
[04:38] <Shadow6363> Korvak, either one will have the same end result
[04:38] <whyameye_> numus: what kind of computer is this?
[04:38] <cheebz88>  i'm trying to access this usb external drive i have, but for some reason it's not showing up
[04:38] <andresj> xeer: you should be able to reference the ip from any of the hosts defined; and when you do a backbackards lookup the first host will be selected
[04:38] <Korvak> andresj: Thanks. I mounted that and found my username in the /etc/passwd file. now, how do I reset it?
[04:38] <Korvak> andresj: Reset the password that is.
[04:38] <andresj> Korvak: 'passwd <user>'
[04:38] <numus> whyameye_ old dell laptop.. i ahve the date set to 2007.. why is the timestamp for sudo coming as 2008
[04:38] <Pelo> rockets,  just to make sure we are on the same line,  you can remove the metapackage but the depencies don'T follow, you'd have to remoe them one by one
[04:38] <rockets> Pelo, yeah thats the problem
[04:38] <Pelo> rockets, do you want to remove one of the *buntu-desktop ?
[04:39] <rockets> Pelo, no
[04:39] <rockets> Pelo, ubuntu-studio stuff
[04:39] <Korvak> 'andresj: That returns this... "passwd: unkown user <username>"
[04:39] <numus> whyameye_ why does sudo think i am in 2008... i set my date to 2008 and it works now
[04:39] <Korvak> andresj: Even though the username I entered is in the passwd file.
[04:39] <dan__> Anybody know how to get a digital camera recognized by ubuntu via a usb cable?
[04:39] <andresj> Korvak: without the <>
[04:39] <PKdoR> so im a new convert to the ubuntu phonomena and I could not be any more exited, and now I wonder what took me so long
[04:39] <Korvak> andresj, I typed it without the <>
[04:40] <Pelo> rockets, I suggest you google for it,  I know someone name a copy-paste command line to remove the *buntu-desktop ones  you might find the same
[04:40] <rockets> Pelo, yeah i have googled for it
[04:40] <Korvak> I typed passwd myusername
[04:40] <Korvak> With case sensitivity
[04:40] <andresj> Korvak, mm... I am not sure then... did you do it from within the chroot?
[04:40] <tinin> Jeaton, http://psubuntu.com/
[04:40] <whyameye_> numus: now do the sudo -K command and then set the date correctly and you should be good to go. As to why it happened...dunno.
[04:40] <rockets> Pelo, man itd be faster to reinstall ubuntu then to manually remove this stuff
[04:40] <Korvak> andresj: No, how do I do that?
[04:40] <monkeyBox> Ok, I've disabled booting from CD in my BIOS,  and now it just stops at "Verifying DMA Pool Data........"   wtf is wrong w/ my computer?  why won't it boot after installing ubuntu?  Is my hard drive toast/
[04:40] <Pelo> rockets, give me the exact meta-package name please
[04:40] <whyameye_> numus: your audio card I believe has built-in support. You are hearing no sound?
[04:40] <rockets> Pelo, k
[04:41] <andresj> Korvak: 'sudo chroot /mnt/linux' (replace /mnt/linux if you mounted it in another dir)
[04:41] <numus> whyameye_ yes no sound
[04:41] <whyameye_> numus: what does aplay -l tell you?
[04:41] <sezky> hey how do i root my file browser ?
[04:41] <codecaine> anybody know a software I can use to make videos using my webcam

[04:44] <robert__> i'm having issues with my pci video card and ubuntu
[04:44] <cheebz88> i have a sore throat, how might i fix this with ubuntu
[04:44] <shifty-> can anyone help me trouble shoot my mouse? it worked last night and today it just doesnt work
[04:44] <whyameye_> numus: how are you testing sound?
[04:45] <Korvak> What is the most widely used app for running Windows software in Ubuntu?
[04:45] <whyameye_> Korvak: wine
[04:45] <tom_> Korvak: WINE?
[04:45] <Jarek> shadow6363, how can i run it, pressing alt+f2 doesn't do anything anymore
[04:45] <Shadow6363> Jarek, can you get to a terminal?
[04:45] <numus> whyameye_ i am trying to load a page with audio.. you now how to mount a samba drive in xubuntu
[04:45] <Jarek> yes
[04:46] <Shadow6363> Jarek, before running that, did you install emerald?
[04:46] <Shadow6363> Jarek, just noticed your guide says its optional
[04:46] <Jarek> i installed emerald
[04:46] <shifty-> can anyone help me trouble shoot my mouse? it worked last night and today it just doesnt work
[04:46] <Pelo> rockets, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/PackageList
[04:46] <Shadow6363> Jarek, alright, in the terminal, run metacity --replace which should take you back to your normal wm
[04:46] <whyameye_> numus: you should try a simple audio player first. Your problem could be the browser plugin. In terms of samba...have you asked in #xubuntu? I gotta run now. Sorry I couldn't be more help to you.
[04:47] <rockets> Pelo, thanks
[04:47] <Pelo> rockets,  no problem
[04:47] <Shadow6363> Jarek, then you should have alt + f2 back and you can run the compiz --replace -c emerald &
[04:47] <robert__> i cannot get X Server to work with my pci video card or detect it's ram  .... any suggestions
[04:47] <PKdoR> is the and equivalent of the "alt=ctrl+delete" for Ubuntu?

[04:48] <codecaine> PKdor for like a task manager?
[04:48] <Pelo> PKdoR, crtl_alt_backspace will restart X
[04:48] <PKdoR> yes
[04:48] <rockets> Pelo, im pretty sure i shouldnt remove some of those htough
[04:48] <eigma> I am using a fresh install of Ubuntu 7.04 Server. how can I configure eth0 to request a particular IP from the DHCP server, and if that fails, just get whatever IP the server offers?
[04:48] <robert__> that's not helping though... it won't work with the video card even on a fresh install
[04:48] <livingdaylight> nickrud, well, its gonna takes ages to transfer now...
[04:49] <Pelo> rockets, don'T do the desktop but the others you are probably fine with,  in anycase, after you can sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[04:49] <rockets> mm
[04:49] <codecaine> Pkdor ps -ax
[04:49] <Jarek> shadow6363, when I run metacity --replace the title bar just flashes once and goes away again
[04:49] <Pelo> robert_, did you try the binary ?
[04:49] <rockets> thanks
[04:49] <PKdo1> wow that was quick
[04:49] <robert__> binary?
[04:49] <rockets> its really just the audio that matters
[04:49] <shifty-> can anyone help me trouble shoot my wireless mouse? it worked last night and today it just doesnt work
[04:49] <tom_> anyone know of any good resources on how to transfer programming skills from windows to ubuntu?!?!? :P
[04:49] <Pelo> !nvidia | robert_
[04:49] <ubotu> robert_: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:49] <livingdaylight> nickrud, what about tranferring to different os? would this be unnecessary to tranfer the hidden files and settings?
[04:50] <codecaine> pkdor you can use killall command to kill the process u want
[04:50] <PKdo1> I just tried it and it kind of restarted my ubuntu
[04:50] <codecaine> ctrl alt backspace restarts ur x server
[04:50] <Taladan> kind of?
[04:50] <codecaine> not like a task manager
[04:50] <PKdo1> jaja
[04:50] <Pelo> tom_, maybe try asking in ##linux
[04:50] <codecaine> ps allows u to view ur processes
[04:50] <gerath> it there more easy way to install compiz-fusion in ubuntu
[04:50] <Shadow6363> Jarek, assuming you have everything installed properly, you may need to logout, log back in and then just run compiz --replace -c emerald &
[04:50] <PKdo1> is there a task manager like  key stoke?
[04:50] <Pelo> gerath, ask in #compiz-fusion
[04:51] <codecaine> tom_ programming is all the same for standards only thing u have to get use to is not using windows.h for api
[04:51] <Pelo> PKdo1, you can make one in menu > system > prefs > keybaord shortcuts
[04:51] <Pelo> PKdo1,  the "taskmanager" in ubuntu is called system monitor you can see it in the admin menu
[04:53] <Pokit> I just kind of messed up grub.  I'm booting ubuntu/windows in different partitions, and accidentally removed windows from the grub menu
[04:53] <PKdo1> I seen that but I mean like say when windows got stuck yousually you would press alt+crtl+dlelete on emergency
[04:53] <codecaine> sudo gnome-system-monitor
[04:53] <codecaine> the terminal command for it pokit
[04:53] <Pokit> any clue how i can restore the windows option on the grub menu?
[04:53] <Pokit> i already tried the grub setup in the terminal
[04:53] <Pelo> PKdo1, you are not in windows anymore, and ubuntu shouldn't get stuck the way windows does
[04:54] <Pokit> it will won't show the windows option in grub
[04:54] <shifty-> can anyone help me trouble shoot my wireless mouse? it worked last night and today it just doesnt work
[04:54] <codecaine> Pokit put your ubuntu live cd in and reinstall ur grub
[04:54] <Pelo> Pokit,  do you mean adding windows to the bootmenu ?
[04:54] <Pokit> I'm looking at /boot/grub/menu.lst  and windows isn't in the list
[04:54] <codecaine> thats the quickest easiest way
[04:54] <Pokit> pelo, yes
[04:54] <arooni> is there anyway to make my 'contextual menu' keyboard button work?
[04:54] <Pelo> codecaine, I don'T agree
[04:54] <Pokit> codecaine, thanks
[04:54] <Pelo> Pokit,  is your windows on the same hdd as your ubuntu ?
[04:54] <Pokit> pelo, yes
[04:55] <codecaine> for a beginner yes Pelo
[04:55] <Pokit> hd0,0 i think
[04:55] <Pelo> Pokit,  is windows on the first partition ?
[04:55] <arooni> how do i open a .svg file?
[04:55] <Pokit> pelo, not sure :(
[04:55] <arooni> what program should i apt-get install?
[04:55] <Pelo> Pokit,  open a terminal  type  blkid and tell me the /dev/sd.. of the NFTS partiton
[04:56] <Pokit> ok thanks
[04:56] <rockets> Pelo, that list was incomplete but still helped a lot, thanks
[04:56] <Pelo> rockets, glad it worked out
[04:56] <Pokit> /dev/sda3: TYPE="ntfs"
[04:56] <Pokit> /dev/sdb1: TYPE="ntfs"
[04:56] <syssyphus> is there a way in gnome to configure it so that if you right click on the desktop you can see your application menu?
[04:56] <sezky> hey why cant i install ntfs-config
[04:56] <Pelo> Pokit, ? oh dear, how many windows do you have installed ?
[04:56] <Pokit> 1....
[04:56] <Pokit> just 1 copy of xp
[04:57] <sezky> sudo -apt-get install ntfs-config it's saying it cant find the package
[04:57] <Pelo> Pokit,  how many hdd do you have ?
[04:57] <Pokit> pelo, 2
[04:57] <Korvak> When I type sudo apt-get install wine: I get an error. Could not get lcok /va/lib/dpkg/lock - open (resource temporarily unavailable). Any suggestions?
[04:57] <Pokit> pelo, 1 hdd has ubuntu/winxp, the other is just for storage
[04:57] <shifty-> Korvak: do you have synaptic open?
[04:57] <Korvak> Yes.
[04:57] <shifty-> Korvak: or another instance of apt-get
[04:57] <shifty-> Korvak: close it
[04:57] <Pelo> Pokit,   ok in the terminal type  gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[04:57] <shifty-> Korvak: you can only one instance of apt-get running at a time, synaptic runs apt-get
[04:57] <Pokit> done
[04:58] <Korvak> That corrected the issue. Thanks.
[04:58] <Gosha> /hop
[04:58] <Gosha> luls
[04:58] <Pelo> Pokit,  at the very bottom of the file  type  ( give me a minute to type it out )
[04:59] <Yuzzy> My winXP ask me for a password when I try to get in the file I share in Ubuntu. What is that pw?
[05:00] <Pelo> Pokit,  that's 5 lines         title Microsoft Windows XP     ,     root (hd0,2)     ,    savedefault     ,      makeactive    ,       chainloader +1
[05:00] <Yuzzy> and for dummy... how do I use this?
[05:00] <Pokit> pelo, thanks!  Is it necessary it's at the bottom of the list on the boot menu?  Because i want to reorder the entries
[05:00] <Pelo> Pokit,  don't tipe the  multiple spaces and comas,  that's jsut to make sure yo0u can see the different lines
[05:01] <Yuzzy> oohhh
[05:01] <Yuzzy> sorry
[05:01] <Pokit> pelo, yeah i understand, i'm putting it in the same form as the other entries
[05:01] <SpudDogg> Yuzzy: how do you use what?
[05:01] <Pelo> Pokit, reorder as you wish
[05:01] <JKirk_> can anyone here help me with dual monitors on an nvidia card with the new gutsy gibbon?
[05:01] <xcd> hey guys, i've got sound on all of my apps except rhythmbox, any ideas?
[05:01] <SpudDogg> JKirk_: you need to go to #ubutnu+1 for your gutsy questions
[05:01] <Yuzzy> My winXP ask me for a password when I try to get in the file I share in Ubuntu. What is that pw?
[05:02] <Yuzzy> winXP and Ubuntu being two different computers
[05:02] <Shadow6363> Yuzzy, have you tried your winxp password?
[05:02] <SpudDogg> Yuzzy: so, you're running windows and reading a ubuntu shared folder?
[05:02] <Pelo> Yuzzy,  probably yoru ubuntu password
[05:02] <Korvak> How can I get Wine to open a file which is in f:\program files\envelope manager\file.exe if the f-drive is /media/sda1
[05:02] <Yuzzy> My winXP password?... ain't got any!
[05:03] <sezky> can someone educate me on how to set permissions to a mounted winxp partition ?
[05:03] <Shadow6363> Yuzzy, sorry, read your question backwards, i would try your ubuntu pass as the two above me said
[05:03] <Pelo> Korvak,  wine /path/to/file/file.exe
[05:03] <codecaine> yuzzy are u on linux or xp trying to do this
[05:03] <Yuzzy> On XP..
[05:03] <Korvak> Pelo: /media/sda1/program files? or the f:\ path
[05:03] <Yuzzy> to acces my Ubuntu
[05:03] <carlomagno> Can anyone tell me why Feisty doesn't come with GTK+ 2.4?
[05:03] <Pelo> Korvak,   wine /media/sda1/pro....
[05:04] <robert__> does anyone know about using pci video cards w/onboard memory and ubuntu?
[05:04] <Korvak> Pelo: Thanks. Can I use a space for program files
[05:04] <codecaine> yes a password for your smb by typing sudo smbpasswd -a yourusername
[05:04] <codecaine> that will be ur password what u make
[05:04] <sezky> carlomagno i think it does reinsert the CD and select the package
[05:04] <SpudDogg> Yuzzy: when you shared the file in ubuntu, how did you go about that?  right click, etc?  or did you manually set up samba?
[05:04] <nas> how come in ubuntu fstab i have all these uuid lines instead of /dev/sdx and when i try to add stuff it overwrites?
[05:04] <Pelo> Korvak, I'm assuming you have write access to /media/sda1 ?
[05:04] <robert__> i'm still having major issues with getting them to work together
[05:04] <nas>  i freed created a new partition formated it for ext3 dd if=/dev/sdax of=/dev/sdax
[05:04] <shwouchk> I have a dir with these permissions: drwxrwxrwx 8 www-data www-data  102 2007-09-08 20:56 raid - Why can't the server create dirs inside?
[05:04] <nas> seemed to work fine
[05:04] <nas> changed grub root
[05:04] <Korvak> Pelo: I believe so.
[05:04] <nas> but it jsust keeps booting the old one
[05:04] <carlomagno> sekzy: I tried to install latest ophcrack and it complained that GTK+ 2.4 wasn't there...
[05:05] <Pelo> Korvak, you probably can , but if not  you can wite the spaces as  "\ "   no quotes
[05:05] <carlomagno> sry, sezky! :)
[05:06] <codecaine> yuzzy might have to restart your samba share too by doing sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
[05:06] <Yuzzy> SpudDogg.... with the file sharing
[05:06] <Korvak> Pelo: It gave me some error about... "fixme:actctxt:parse_depend_manifests Could not find dependent assembly L"Microsfot.VC80.CRT"
[05:06] <Korvak> And a ton of other errors.
[05:06] <Yuzzy> System / Shared Folder
[05:06] <codecaine> by the way
[05:06] <codecaine> yuzzy
[05:06] <SpudDogg> Yuzzy: ok so you just right-clicked a folder or something and hit "Share Folder"  You will need to set up a Samba username in Ubuntu
[05:07] <codecaine> when you do the share make sure you using ubuntu as a winserver
[05:07] <Yuzzy> ohhh...
[05:07] <codecaine> under the general properties tab
[05:07] <SpudDogg> Yuzzy: codecaine is right about that, but you will need to set up a username/password also
[05:07] <nas> hmm
[05:07] <xcd> hey guys, my sound works fine w/ programs like xmms and xine but I'm not getting any sound w/ rhythmbox, there's not really much in the preferences either, any ideas?
[05:07] <Pelo> Korvak, that's probably because it can't access the libs,  you can'T run a prog installed on your windows partiton from wine , you have to install the program in ubuntu
[05:07] <nas> fstab.pre.uuid
[05:08] <codecaine> sudo smbpasswd -a usernameyouwant
[05:08] <tom_> does anyone know when ubuntu 7.10, like the day
[05:08] <codecaine> it will ask u to make a new password
[05:08] <Korvak> Pelo: I see. How would I go about installing a windows app under Ubuntu?
[05:08] <SpudDogg> Korvak: wine!
[05:08] <shwouchk> how do I set an init.d script so start every boot?
[05:08] <whalesalad> hey guys, i keep getting the error "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" when running apt-get, anyone know how to fix this?
[05:08] <Polygon89> How do i tell which DVD types my dvd drive supports? is there some magic command or something?
[05:09] <Pelo> Korvak, basicaly wine installs a fake windows file system in /home/user/.wine  so it can run windows prog, you have to install in wine like you install in windows and wine takes care of the libs and dll and stuff
[05:09] <carlomagno> Korvak: once you have wine installed, you just double-click the setup.exe (or whatever)... most of the time it works
[05:09] <SpudDogg> whalesalad: i think that happens when you have a bad line in /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:09] <Pelo> Korvak,   put the cd in ( or whatever)  cd to the install.exe  folder ,   wine install.exe or whatever it is
[05:09] <Korvak> Cool I'll try that./
[05:10] <nas> anybody care to explain what ubuntu did to fstab?
[05:10] <whalesalad> SpudDogg: everything was fine and dandy until I tried to install lighttpd
[05:10] <Pelo> !uuid | nas
[05:10] <ant-> !upstart
[05:10] <ubotu> nas: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell:  sudo blkid  (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[05:10] <ubotu> Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model.  For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/
[05:10] <Shadow6363> xcd, i presume youve installed the proper codec for the filetype youre trying to play?
[05:10] <Pelo> nas,  was that what you meant ?
[05:10] <SpudDogg> whalesalad: when you tried to install that, did you add any lines to /etc/apt/sources.list?
[05:10] <xcd> Shadow6363: well, if the files are playing on the other programs i would think it'd be on there
[05:11] <nas> so i just add them with the uuid?
[05:11] <xcd> Shadow6363: they are just mp3 and m4a files, both of which i can play fine in xmms already..
[05:11] <Pelo> nas,  you can add them with /dev/... as well
[05:11] <whalesalad> SpudDogg: I think my problem has to do with following this line in the lighttp install tutorial..."Note: Ubuntu users will need to "apt-get install dpkg-dev" to be able to use dpkg-buildpackage."
[05:11] <Pelo> nas,  but if you want the uuid for your partition   open a terminal and type blkid
[05:11] <SpudDogg> whalesalad: can you send me a link to the tutorial?
[05:11] <whalesalad> SpudDogg: Apt-get works fine for everything except lighttpd. I've tried removing, re-installing, it keeps hanging
[05:11] <nas> ok thanks Pelo
[05:11] <whalesalad> SpudDogg: http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/wiki/TutorialInstallation
[05:12] <Shadow6363> xcd, i would tend to agree but i know vlc has a tendency of playing files that other players cant play because the codec wasnt installed
[05:12] <Shadow6363> xcd, if you know that you have installed the mp3 codec, then ive got no other ideas
[05:12] <SpudDogg> whalesalad: i see...it didnt even download from the repos.  man, i have no idea
[05:12] <whalesalad> SpudDogg: here is my problem output... http://dpaste.com/19030/
[05:13] <SpudDogg> whalesalad: damn man, you got me
[05:13] <whalesalad> SpudDogg: I think i might have fixed it. I had an invalid file in /etc/init.d/lighttpd. i deleted it and re-ran apt-get and no errors.
[05:14] <xcd> Shadow6363: where can i find out which packages I need... doing an apt-cache search codec|grep mp3 returns nothing
[05:14] <rockets> crap
[05:14] <rockets> somehow hald is gone
[05:14] <SpudDogg> whalesalad: that does make sense.  here, read this also, it might help next time:  http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=&forumid=9&threadid=171107

[05:18] <SpudDogg> Sevk: a little help here: http://www.webservertalk.com/message1600281.html
[05:18] <Shadow6363> xcd, normally i just install ubuntu-restricted-extras which has a bunch of codecs and other things if a codec is indeed your problem

[05:19] <tom_> Yuzzy, also try netbsd, it runs on everything, including toasters

[05:21] <zachary> firefox is freezing my computer everytime I run it...
[05:22] <Creed> Was wondering if someone knew a proxy (CLI based) aside from squid, tinyproxy, and oops?
[05:22] <SpudDogg> tom_: rofl that is awesome
[05:22] <Aval0n> can ubuntu see windows shares by default without installing samba?
[05:22] <bruenig> no
[05:22] <SpudDogg> Aval0n: yes, it should
[05:23] <Aval0n> SpudDogg: really? how?
[05:23] <Aval0n> or can you point me to some docs
[05:23] <Creed> Was wondering if someone knew a proxy (CLI based) aside from squid, tinyproxy, and oops?
[05:23] <SpudDogg> Aval0n: "Places -> Network"
[05:23] <rockets> Man, gedit with an integrated terminal is fan-f*****g-tastic
[05:23] <tom_> SpudDogg, ya, im thinking about doing a triple boot laptop, Vista, Ubuntu and BSD
[05:23] <bruenig> rockets, wait till you see vim
[05:23] <Aval0n> SpudDogg: is it just \\IP\c$
[05:23] <Aval0n> or whatever
[05:23] <rockets> bruenig, ive used vim plenty of times
[05:24] <SpudDogg> tom_: ack, scratch vista and you're good to go
[05:24] <shwouchk> how do I set an init.d script so start every boot?
[05:24] <SpudDogg> Aval0n: oh, are you trying to mount the shares?
[05:24] <Johnny_> hey, what would you guys recommend for transcoding from flac?
[05:24] <tom_> lol, i need some programs like maya that won't run on bsd or linux
[05:24] <Aval0n> SpudDogg: I want mythtv to be able to access my mp3 on my winbloze box
[05:25] <rockets> How can I recursively remove all files ending in .db from a directory and all its subdirectories?
[05:25] <Tornado> hey
[05:25] <tom_> of course im not rich thats why im using maya PLE (personel learning addition) for free
[05:25] <Shadow6363> rockets, rm -rf *.db assuming you are in that directory
[05:25] <neramos> hey got a problem in Ubuntu Server 6.01 LTS; When i try to shutdown the Server me the user gets logged out and tries to shutdown, but then I am root in the Terminal and its still not going down......????????????!?!?!
[05:25] <Johnny_> anyone? no recommendations?
[05:25] <faileas> Aval0n: whats wrong with installing samba?

[05:26] <spowers> does upgrading from one dist to the next with aptitude or apt-get totally screw up ubuntu?
[05:26] <Johnny_> !help
[05:26] <rockets> do i need the ; bruenig?
[05:26] <SpudDogg> Aval0n: you might not even need the username/pass
[05:26] <Aval0n> SpudDogg: is that without samba installed you want me to run that?
[05:26] <bruenig> rockets, yes
[05:26] <nickrud> spoop: no, that's the intent of apt
[05:26] <rockets> bruenig, thanks
[05:26] <Johnny_> what should i use for transcoding?
[05:27] <spowers> if i'm supposed to use the X tool to do all upgrades, i don't know how i can do that without installing X specifically for upgrading.. :(
[05:27] <SpudDogg> Aval0n: yes, i run a mythtv box (actually knoppmyth) and do not have samba installed.
[05:27] <zachary> anyone know any other way to view flash on a PPC?  Gnash balls up my computer.
[05:27] <piyush> what version of c library i need to install on fresh debian install for GCC to work
[05:27] <Tornado> i have a question about a virus, well here it is. I just had windows vista and got a nasty computer virus, so i tryed ubuntu, just installed it today, i formated my drive and all i got rid of vista and now i am starting to get the same virus again, can a virus infect the bios and ubuntu, sorry about my long question
[05:27] <nickrud> spowers: no, apt-get, synaptic & aptitude all do the same thing, I use aptitude nearly exclusively
[05:27] <bruenig> piyush, gcc works without libraries
[05:28] <overclucker> yuzzy, it's probably failing to load video drivers: probably the biggest problem with toasters
[05:28] <Shadow6363> bruenig, what are the advantages to that as opposed to just rm -rf *.db if youre in the initial directory?
[05:28] <faileas> Tornado: not as far as i know, least in the last decade
[05:28] <faileas> what does this 'virus' do?
[05:28] <Tornado> crashes ubuntu
[05:28] <Aval0n> grr remote desktop keeps disconnecting me when I try to copy that
[05:28] <bruenig> Shadow6363, well my command removes recursively and yours doesn't
[05:28] <spowers> nickrud: i've heard that the upgrade manager is the only supported way to move from one dist to another, because it has special hax
[05:28] <Tornado> opens a bunch of web briowers
[05:28] <Johnny_> Tornado: no its not possible to affect ubuntu, probably not virus
[05:28] <spowers> nickrud: but i'm happy to try of course
[05:28] <SpudDogg> Tornado: that would be a hell of a virus, targeted at your bios. there are viruses that can damage hardware though
[05:28] <piyush> bruenig, I mean libc6 dev package
[05:28] <bruenig> piyush, libc6-dev
[05:29] <faileas> Tornado: it opens a bunch of web browsers in Ubuntu? not possible personally. cross platform viruses are only proof of concept
[05:29] <Tornado> are you sure becuase a buch or weird thngs and we i just insalled ubuntu 5 hrs ago
[05:29] <nickrud> spowers: that would be a suprise, since there's the server edition that's supported. I doubt anyone will want to break dist-upgrade (and full-upgrade in the new aptitude)
[05:29] <Shadow6363> bruenig, isnt that what the -r does?
[05:29] <Polygon89> faileas, it can be using javascript
[05:29] <bruenig> Shadow6363, your command removes ./*.db, my command removes ./*.db and ./*/*.db and ./*/*/*.db ad infinitum
[05:30] <Tornado> i dont know i just think it doing the same thing on ubuntu as it did on vista
[05:30] <spowers> nickrud: maybe it's just what's going on right now, but if i aptitude update/dist-upgrade, it gives me a score of -919
[05:30] <Aval0n> SpudDogg: wrong fs type or bad option
[05:30] <mario> radiohead
[05:30] <Johnny_> oh right, how do i get java to work in firefox?? i tried the official d.load the repositories everything, it still doesnt run java apps
[05:30] <spowers> nickrud: full-upgrade? did not realize that was there...
[05:30] <overclucker> Tornado, virii can affect bios, but you'll know right away, not over time
[05:30] <nickrud> spowers: in the new version, not the current.
[05:30] <Tornado> i know
[05:30] <Shadow6363> bruenig, never knew that, thanks
[05:30] <SpudDogg> Aval0n: is your mythtv on a debian-based linux box?  knoppmyth IS debian based, it converts during install
[05:30] <Tornado> we got the virus a week ago
[05:30] <Tornado> and we kept the computer off
[05:30] <Aval0n> it's ubuntu
[05:31] <Aval0n> feisty
[05:31] <Wapanese> 
[05:31] <nickrud> spowers: it's most likely a transient thing, I've got a few things on hold right now because of 'scores'
[05:31] <Jarek> Shadow6353, you still there?
[05:31] <overclucker> !nihongo
[05:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nihongo - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[05:31] <spowers> nickrud: yeah, dist-upgrade is giving me a -919 right now
[05:31] <SpudDogg> Aval0n: yes, in ubuntu you need to install the package 'smbfs' try 'sudo apt-get install smbfs'
[05:31] <spowers> nickrud: but a lot of packages ARE goign to upgrade
[05:31] <Aval0n> ae
[05:31] <Aval0n> ok
[05:31] <spowers> so i guess i'll just go for it
[05:31] <SpudDogg> Aval0n: then try the command again
[05:31] <Tornado> like i said its doing the same this as it did on vista, i lose mouse control, it opens the defualt web brower bunch of times and crashes the computer
[05:31] <spowers> nickrud: thanks
[05:31] <piyush> bruenig, thanks
[05:31] <nickrud> spowers: do a l~b in the main window; you probably could put a few things on hold
[05:32] <bruenig> piyush, you kind of answered that yourself...
[05:32] <Shadow6363> Jarek, yup
[05:32] <denno> eolin
[05:33] <denno> ops
[05:33] <overclucker> Tornado, try another mouse, or try you mouse on another box, mouse vs. mother board
[05:33] <Jarek> Shadow6363, sorry I had to run out of the house, still no luck with getting title bar to show. Tried uninstalling compiz and emerald and running that metacity command but no luck
[05:33] <Aval0n> SpudDogg: you magnicicent bastard
[05:33] <Aval0n> magnificent*
[05:33] <Tornado> no if i could sendc you i video of it i would
[05:33] <SpudDogg> Aval0n: lol, glad i could help
[05:33] <Tornado> its not what u think
[05:33] <Aval0n> so what the hell is smbfs
[05:33] <Aval0n> all i've ever used before was samba
[05:33] <Tornado> the think went crazy
[05:33] <Tornado> the ting
[05:34] <SpudDogg> Aval0n: im not exactly sure.  it's definately used to read a windows share (that's basically what samba duplicates, i think)
[05:34] <Tornado> Firefox open 50 times
[05:34] <Aval0n> ineteresting
[05:34] <Aval0n> can I write too
[05:34] <Aval0n> or just read?
[05:34] <tom_> tornado, do antivirus check
[05:34] <Aval0n> all I care about is reading anyway
[05:34] <tom_> if you don't have virus then try to restore comp
[05:34] <SpudDogg> Aval0n: that should be good for read and write
[05:34] <Tornado> well i have to reinstall ubuntui
[05:34] <tom_> if that doesn't work then do a fresh install after backing up only important files
[05:34] <mario> please i'm find a radiohead show's
[05:34] <Tornado> but it did the smae thing on windows vista too
[05:34] <SpudDogg> Aval0n: that's going to go away when you reboot, just so you know

[05:36] <Shadow6363> Jarek, even after logging and out, you still dont have titlebars back?
[05:36] <PKdo1> would the all work or does it have tu be a specifig type

[05:36] <Tornado> thats why i think its in the BIOS
[05:36] <Jarek> i've restarted pc and everything, reinstalled metacity package via synaptic

[05:41] <overclucker> PKdo1, i enjoyed linux in a nutshell
[05:41] <bruenig> PKdo1, well it depends on the shell you are using, you need to read up on different shells not the terminal per se. Bash is the most common shell but there is ksh csh tcsh etc.
[05:41] <clever> there edited:)
[05:42] <earthen> anyone have an idea why I see a black screen when playing video when using beryl
[05:42] <earthen> when I move the player window I do see the video for about a second
[05:43] <SpudDogg> earthen: i had the same problem, but never got around to fixing it
[05:43] <earthen> SpudDogg,  looks like a layering problem bu i don't know how to fix it eather
[05:43] <SpudDogg> earthen: im interested to see someone's reply on that
[05:44] <adelie> specifically on the desktop?
[05:44] <Tornado> hello
[05:44] <vader1102> SpudDogg, all I can say is I quit using it as I loose my window settings, and all sorts of problems even with compiz
[05:44] <overclucker> Yuzzy, try trinux, if you're terminal savvy, it has loads of junk buit into the kernel for compatability
[05:44] <Tornado> overclucker
[05:44] <earthen> SpudDogg,  yeah, works fine in a non beryl desktop
[05:44] <overclucker> ya?

[05:47] <Skyfalcon866> how do i get KDE

[05:47] <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

[05:48] <PKdo1> how would i go about installing som the the packages on edubuntu to vanilla ubuntu
[05:48] <Tornado> overclucker: any luck
[05:48] <clever> gnome keeps automounting stuff while gparted is trying to use it
[05:49] <preaction> PKdo1, all the packages in a default edubuntu install are in the ubuntu package repositories. you can add them using synaptic / aptitude / apt-get
[05:49] <clever> causing gparted to fail and stop in the middle of things
[05:49] <overclucker> locaating bios flasher
[05:49] <Tornado> ok
[05:49] <clever> for example my ntfs partition is now 70gig but the ntfs is still 8gig(resize failed because it was mounted by gnome)
[05:50] <numus> smb helps.. but i am trying to access a samba drive on a windows machine how do i edit fstab to reflect the server
[05:50] <JKirk_> ubuntu+1 doesn't seem to have anyone that can help me :(  Does anyone here know how to get dual monitor working in gutsy with nvidia?
[05:51] <Tornado> enable restriced driver
[05:51] <JKirk_> I've got it enabled...it found my card...but doesn't see my 2nd monitor :(
[05:51] <Tornado> o
[05:51] <Tornado> ok
[05:51] <numus> anyone ever mount a samba?
[05:52] <SpudDogg> numus: you need to add a line to your fstab like this ' //ipofwindowsbox/sharename     /pathto/mountpoint     smbfs     user/pass/etc  0 0
[05:52] <numus> SpudDogg what is sharename and pathto mountpoint
[05:53] <Tornado> if there is a virus in bios how do you get rid of them?

[05:57] <TehBrandon> i couldn't get in here
[05:57] <Tornado> ?
[05:57] <Tornado> ?
[05:57] <nixternal> Tornado: don't keep doing that
[05:58] <nixternal> TehBrandon: the reason you couldn't get in is because we had to temporarily restrict access to the channel for those who are registered with Freenode
[05:58] <Tornado> WTF
[05:58] <nixternal> !register > TehBrandon
[05:58] <TehBrandon> I am registered

[05:59] <nixternal> guess not
[06:00] <n00dl3> o_O

[06:00] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[06:00] <VousDeux> any recommendations for file system choice and partitioning a fresh install of kubuntu?
[06:03] <tonyyarusso> VousDeux: ext3 all the ay
[06:03] <tonyyarusso> *way
[06:04] <VousDeux> hmmm...I guess I expected to hear some votes for reiserfs or something :)
[06:04] <bruenig> isn't resierfs technically better, I thought ext3 was favored only because of its ext2 abilities
[06:05] <tonyyarusso> VousDeux: I've been using reiserfs (it's my current root partition), and I've had problems with it.
[06:05] <overclucker> reiserfs is kickin
[06:05] <VousDeux> ahhh...I see
[06:05] <sauvin> I've apparently just booted this machine for the 32nd time without an fsck; it was forced this time. I was pleased to see 0.6% file noncontiguity (ext3 rules!) but is there some way to force checks more often?
[06:05] <tonyyarusso> VousDeux: Primarily, after 14 days of uptime, the drive is full, and the system unusable, when on a fresh boot I'm only at 70%.
[06:06] <sauvin> I've been hearing mixed things about reiserfs; it seems to be most appropriate where huge numbers of small files are involved. There DOES seem to be a corruption issue, though.
[06:06] <VousDeux> wow...that doesn't sound good
[06:07] <andrewkk> is this the place to ask about using wifi on a dell 1501?
[06:07] <VousDeux> I've used ext3 in the past...thought it might be a good idea to hear more about other choices
[06:07] <m1ke> I have dual monitors, but my panel is spanning across both monitors. How do I make it only expand across one.
[06:07] <sauvin> VousDeux, I think most people use ext3 even if they're aware of other choices.
[06:07] <PKdoR> what is a what are inux repositories?
[06:07] <rob> nixternal, yes
[06:07] <rob> nixternal, not sure what they are flooding
[06:07] <rob> oh
[06:08] <tonyyarusso> VousDeux: Yeah, it was worth checking out others (I've done xfs also), but I always return to ext3.
[06:08] <rob> TehBrandon, yes, we are getting hit by bots
[06:08] <rob> lets see what happens
[06:08] <tonyyarusso> !repos | PKdoR
[06:08] <ubotu> PKdoR: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[06:08] <rob> nope, still no good
[06:08] <rob> I'm just having to weed out the legitimate users from the bots
[06:08] <Virus> i am sorry please dont ban me again
[06:08] <DShepherd> !vm > DShepherd
[06:08] <VousDeux> doesn't sound like many votes to stray from tried-n-true
[06:09] <vader1102> don't worry about me lol.... I do try to help sometimes
[06:09] <overclucker> hi torr, i mean virus
[06:09] <sauvin> This is the point; ext3 IS tried, and it is very true. I love it.
[06:09] <Virus> hi
[06:09] <open-gl> If i am logged on to windows and put in the ubuntu cd will linux run or not.
[06:09] <m1ke> I have dual monitors, but my panel is spanning across both monitors. How do I make it only expand across one monitor.
[06:09] <overclucker> Virus, after a flood it is very important not to repeat yourself
[06:09] <VousDeux> open-gl: nope
[06:10] <Virus> overclucker: ok, ya right now i am using dial up
[06:10] <overclucker> as am i
[06:10] <VousDeux> open-gl: you would need to boot from the CD
[06:10] <nbags> what do i do when it says packages are kept back? i'm trying to upgrade from dapper to feisty
[06:10] <Virus> overclucker: ya i am new at this, but any luck with the bios problem
[06:10] <open-gl> VousDeux boot it when i restart the computer?
[06:10] <emeriste> What just happened? The screen filled with those messages.
[06:11] <nickrud> nbags: it means that apt can't resolve all the dependencies needed for the upgrade ; how are you upgrading?
[06:11] <jadacyrus> what can I use to burn or view .img files?
[06:11] <VousDeux> open-gl: I'm running from a live CD right now....you just need to make sure you system BIOS is set to boot from CD before local drive
[06:11] <VousDeux> open-gl: yes, restart the computer
[06:11] <nickrud> nbags: erm, also, you can't upgrade directly from dapper to feisty, you have to go through etch
[06:11] <nbags> nickrud, you mean edgy?
[06:12] <nickrud> nbags: slip of the tongue
[06:12] <overclucker> Virus, so yeah if you are unsure about your bios integrity, or just want to upgrade, go to the homesite of your computer/mobo manufacturer and download the bios flasher specific to your hardware
[06:12] <nbags> nickrud, yeah i figured thats why it didn't work. have i borked this system?
[06:12] <VousDeux> open-gl: another option besides resetting the boot order in the BIOS would be if your system has a boot menu
[06:12] <Virus> ok
[06:12] <jadacyrus> can i use k3b to burn .img files?
[06:12] <overclucker> Tornado, can't seem to connect to http://www.google.com/url?q=http://support.gateway.com/support/drivers/dlcenter.asp&sa=X&oi=smap&resnum=1&ct=result&cd=2&usg=AFQjCNFTqXXjlZ3b9mGzhKpw-pbFiad07Q
[06:12] <Virus> but if i do have a virus how would i get rid of it
[06:12] <nickrud> nbags: not necessarily; but most it wouldn't be easy to fix
[06:13] <VousDeux> open-gl: like on a Dell, I believe you can hit F12 to get a boot menu
[06:13] <nbags> nickrud, it broke while i was doing the dist-upgrade to feisty, so i've changed it to edgy and tried a dist-update there
[06:13] <overclucker> virus, by rewriting bios
[06:13] <Virus> ok
[06:13] <VousDeux> open-gl: depends on your system
[06:13] <overclucker> aka flashing it
[06:13] <m1ke> I have dual monitors, but my panel is spanning across both monitors. How do I make it only expand across one monitor.
[06:13] <open-gl> VousDeux - thanks for the help
[06:13] <nbags> nickrud, so i just fix each failure as it comes? how?
[06:13] <nickrud> nbags: worth trying, anyway . You might be able to squeeze out the rest with aptitude
[06:13] <Virus> I will give that a try, and when you banned, how long are you banned for becuase i hate using dial up?
[06:13] <VousDeux> open-gl: np, gl
[06:14] <nixternal> %btlogin
[06:14] <nbags> nickrud, how?
[06:14] <nickrud> nbags: the AptitudeSurvivalGuide on the help wiki , it gives you some basics on using aptitude in interactive mode
[06:14] <overclucker> Virus, if you
[06:15] <overclucker> gosh, what a NOOB
[06:15] <overclucker> oh well
[06:15] <nickrud> nbags: it's mostly a matter of selective holds and package selection, it's time consuming. You might be better off just backing up home, and doing a reinstall
[06:15] <VousDeux> !partition
[06:15] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[06:17] <VousDeux> it's been quite awhile since the last time I partitioned a disk for a fresh Linux install...I need to go figure out how many partions I need, and how big to make each one
[06:17] <ionstorm> i have a Pentium 4 hyperthread kernel, will i notice a performance boost with linux image 686 ?
[06:17] <ionstorm> or is generic better?
[06:17] <sauvin> VousDeux, I have one swap partition and one regular partition.
[06:17] <jay_> hi
[06:18] <nickrud> ionstorm: 686 doesn't exist anymore, generic and lowlatency are the desktop kernels now
[06:18] <overclucker> VousDeux, ubuntu | swap | /home | storage
[06:18] <m1ke> I have dual monitors, but my panel is spanning across both monitors. How do I make it only expand across one monitor.
[06:18] <VousDeux> what about /var?
[06:19] <sauvin> That's under the / partition for me.
[06:19] <nickrud> !generic | ionstorm I thought there was a pointer about why
[06:19] <ubotu> ionstorm I thought there was a pointer about why: Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed)
[06:19] <overclucker> -/home is more important to isolate
[06:19] <VousDeux> I like to keep logs seperate...wouldn't want a log to get flooded on my /
[06:20] <nickrud> I fell back to /home ; I have /home/www and the like
[06:20] <pav> can ubuntu access app from another partition?
[06:20] <ionstorm> thnx guys
[06:20] <slimjimflim> what's the best directory to install softare to from source?
[06:20] <VousDeux> pav: of course
[06:20] <sauvin> My /home isn't separated partly because I have three distros installed on this machine and don't want different distros fighting for the config files.
[06:20] <nickrud> slimjimflim: either under your home, or /usr/local
[06:20] <underdog5004> slimjimflim, I like /usr/local
[06:21] <VousDeux> slimjimflim: usually /usr/local/sbin
[06:21] <pav> vouseux: ok ty
[06:21] <slimjimflim> what's the difference, i always use home
[06:21] <evilofisho> Does anyone know of a memory editor for ubuntu/linux? I'm asking mostly out of curiosity.
[06:21] <nickrud> sauvin: I used to do that, and had a data partition. and then I soft linked in the Desktop, bin, and other common folders
[06:21] <overclucker> slimjimflim, permission, and fhs
[06:21] <sauvin> I've HAD people try to tell me to install stuff under /opt. I said "[DELETED] ".
[06:22] <VousDeux> slimjimflim: it's good to keep them organized for rights assigment purposes
[06:22] <mattva01> slimjimflim I use opt
[06:22] <underdog5004> sauvin, why? /opt is for optional packages, right?
[06:22] <VousDeux> slimjimflim: too hard to manage otherwise
[06:22] <sauvin> Yes, but it's not what I'm used to. I've never seen that done elsehwere.
[06:22] <overclucker> correct, but not four source
[06:22] <nickrud> I though opt was for outside binaries; vmware would fit nicely there
[06:22] <overclucker> sauvin FHS
[06:22] <Extravert> hello. Does anyone know the command to reduce latency or to make it 0?
[06:22] <sauvin> FHX?
[06:22] <sauvin> FHS?
[06:22] <CountX> anyone know where i can get some shotgun sound effects
[06:23] <overclucker> yah
[06:23] <slimjimflim> so would it be more secure to install to a dir with less permisions?
[06:23] <CountX> or just gun sound effects
[06:23] <jordan_> Extravert : Um, you cant just reduce latency with a command
[06:23] <evilofisho> CountX: http://www.flashkit.com/ ?
[06:23] <mattva01> I primarily  use /opt for web software without a recent package : ie schooltool
[06:23] <sauvin> Overclucker: what is it?
[06:23] <Extravert> jordan_: yes Iv seen someone make their ping 0 by using a command in the console
[06:23] <overclucker> sauvin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard
[06:23] <nickrud> slimjimflim: /usr/local is where someone who was maintaining your computer would look for locally compiled system apps; the file hierarchy standard place
[06:23] <Extravert> jordan_:  spoofing?
[06:23] <Gateway> hi gagin
[06:24] <jordan_> Extravert : But that is impossible, and probably fake
[06:24] <Azhi> hi
[06:24] <Azhi> how can i copy an entire folder with wget and get the hidden files AND not those ugly .listing files?
[06:24] <VousDeux> slimjimflim: if any of the programs need to be shared with others, or run system services, you wouldn't want to do that from /home
[06:24] <overclucker> sauvin, exelent reading (;
[06:24] <jordan_> Extravert : Yes probably spoofed
[06:24] <Extravert> jordan_:  yes I want to fake my ping
[06:24] <jordan_> Extravert : For what purpose
[06:24] <Gateway> overclucking: how to i overwrite bios
[06:24] <CountX> evilofisho, looks promissing thanks
[06:24] <sauvin> That's not very helpful :\
[06:24] <Extravert> jordan_:  not get kicked from servers =/
[06:24] <evilofisho> CountX: You're welcome.
[06:24] <mattva01> Gateway: boot from a floppy
[06:24] <Gateway> ok
[06:24] <jordan_> Extravert : In what?
[06:24] <Gateway> thanks
[06:25] <Extravert> jordan_:  ??
[06:25] <VousDeux> slimjimflim: it's much nice to just know that all of your executables are in the same place too
[06:25] <jordan_> Extravert : What program?
[06:25] <Extravert> jordan_:  does it matter?
[06:25] <mattva01> what type of motherboard , Gateway?
[06:25] <Gateway> ya
[06:25] <Gateway> can i use a cd matt
[06:25] <MTecknology> can anybody help me get my wireless working
[06:25] <MTecknology> lspci reveals an Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG
[06:26] <jordan_> Extravert : Im sure that ping spoofing is program specific, because its application level not OS level
[06:26] <Extravert> jordan_: Tremulous
[06:26] <Azhi> guys
[06:26] <MTecknology> the restricted driver manager tells me the ipw3945 drive in enabled but ot in use
[06:26] <slimjimflim> Azhi, can you use wildcards?
[06:26] <mattva01> you can change it from pretty much anything, but dell for example makes its images for floppies
[06:27] <slimjimflim> ie *
[06:27] <Gateway> ok
[06:27] <mattva01> what are you trying to overwrite it with
[06:27] <mattva01> ?
[06:27] <Extravert> jordan_:  do you know the command ?
[06:27] <Gateway> my bios becuase i think i have a virus
[06:27] <Gateway> i was talking to overcluck about it
[06:27] <Azhi> i tried with -m -nH but it skipped the hidden files
[06:27] <overclucker> sauvin, http://www.pathname.com/fhs/
[06:28] <jordan_> Extravert : No in fact I do not, google is your best bet
[06:28] <Extravert> jordan_:  tried
[06:28] <mattva01> I would suspect it to be a bootsector virus rather then a bios one
[06:28] <sauvin> Overclucker: thank you!  Bookmarked.
[06:28] <Gateway> Matt can i use a cd to overwrite the Bios or do i have to use a floopy
[06:28] <overclucker> xD
[06:29] <mattva01> you can use either
[06:29] <Gateway> ok
[06:30] <mattva01> but you have to find the motherboard manufacturers homepage ,and get the BIOS for your model
[06:30] <Gateway> o
[06:30] <mattva01> otherwise bad things can happen :)
[06:30] <Gateway> does gateway make there own motherboards
[06:30] <slimjimflim> Azhi, maybe -xr
[06:31] <mattva01> no, but they should have info on their site
[06:31] <slimjimflim> to force directory grab and recursivity
[06:31] <VousDeux> Gateway would almost certainly have their own BIOS images
[06:31] <mattva01> yes
[06:31] <Gateway> ok
[06:32] <Azhi> no... i mean files like .htaccess
[06:32] <mattva01> check under "Drivers&support" or similar
[06:32] <Azhi> wget isn't getting them
[06:32] <open-gl> do i need the internet on when putting in the cd
[06:32] <KiphereCE> Ahoy.
[06:32] <KiphereCE> Wondering if anyone can help me with a semi odd install situation.
[06:32] <VousDeux> wget will only find linked files
[06:33] <overclucker> sauvin, these might interest you too: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment (;
[06:33] <slimjimflim> Azhi, this is for ftp, supposedly, but maybe..... --no-remove-listing
[06:33] <mattva01> KiphereCE, just state your question .
[06:33] <slimjimflim> nm
[06:33] <open-gl> i am still on this screen that shows only a peach color screen
[06:33] <KiphereCE> I downloaded the 'alternate' install for I believe 7.0.4, mounted the iso on my primary windows machine with daemon tools and shared it.
[06:34] <KiphereCE> can I actualy do the install over the network from a shared CD to another drive on another PC?
[06:34] <VousDeux> open-gl: no, Internet is not required
[06:34] <mattva01> not that way
[06:34] <KiphereCE> hrm, so I have to burn it?
[06:34] <mattva01> but there are many other ways to do it over a network
[06:34] <overclucker> open-gl, iv'e never heard that color described in a non-repulsive manner
[06:35] <VousDeux> open-gl: you should see a bar across the top and bottom...the one on top has the command menus
[06:35] <KiphereCE> problem I'm having is my burner is jacked up at the moment.
[06:35] <owen1> got DVD from Netflix. the folder contain many .vod files. how to watch it as one big video instead of running each .vod file?
[06:35] <sauvin> How closely does ubuntu adhere to debian guidelines?
[06:35] <overclucker> read
[06:35] <mattva01> very
[06:35] <slimjimflim> Azhi do you have a shell? can you rename the file you want?
[06:35] <overclucker> lol
[06:35] <KiphereCE> what are my other options? the only non windows OS install I've ever done was redhat and it was a few years ago.
[06:35] <Gateway> ok guys, well i will give all of that i try and hope i dont F*** up my system
[06:36] <mattva01> do you have a USB stick, KiphereCE
[06:36] <KiphereCE> I'm not linux/unix ignorant but I'm far from knowledgeable.
[06:36] <KiphereCE> no =\
[06:36] <Gateway> nixternal (you know better) lol , i will bbl sometime bye
[06:36] <mattva01> network installs can be a bit complicated , let me find a good guide.
[06:36] <Azhi> ok, so how can i get an entire folder without wget.... including hidden files inside?
[06:37] <KiphereCE> if I make a virtual CD on the PC I'm trying to install on, could I install on another partition?
[06:37] <Azhi> no, i don't have a shell on the remote one
[06:37] <evilofisho> Anyone know of a memory editor for ubuntu/linux?
[06:37] <sauvin> "memory editor"?
[06:37] <slimjimflim> do you have ftp access?
[06:37] <open-gl> ubuntu taking too long to load
[06:37] <m1ke> My dual monitors now take the panel and expand it across both.  Before it was only expand across one monitor.  Also when I used to maximize a window, it would expand max size of one monitor.  Now it expands max size across both.
[06:38] <mattva01> KiphereCE,the problem is that the normal method of installation has you booting from a CD, which is not possible with a virtual one.
[06:38] <KiphereCE> yeah
[06:38] <evilofisho> sauvin: Yeah, memory editor.. You know.. Read/write memory.. Sort of like artmoney, if you've heard of it.
[06:38] <sauvin> I haven't. Can you explain more?
[06:38] <slimjimflim> http://www.unixwiz.net/techtips/wget-dotfiles.html
[06:38] <r2r4> hello people i instsalled scim and start it.i can see the icon of scim on the panel,but i cannot input any Chinese.and ctrl+space doesn't work. the env is xfce4
[06:38] <slimjimflim> Azhi, see that?
[06:38] <KiphereCE> is there no executable type install for ubuntu?
[06:39] <sauvin> isn't there a winbu or winbutu or some damn thing?
[06:39] <mattva01> there is, but its not ideal
[06:39] <m1ke> My dual monitors now take the panel and expand it across both.  Before it was only expand across one monitor.  Also when I used to maximize a window, it would expand max size of one monitor.  Now it expands max size across both.
[06:39] <n-iCe`> Hi
[06:39] <mattva01> and its not supported
[06:39] <evilofisho> sauvin: Basically you have this program where you're able to search the memory for numbers/strings and edit those, it's really useful for debugging but I haven't seen one for ubuntu/linux that's userfriendly..
[06:39] <mattva01> wubi
[06:39] <sauvin> mattva01, yea, that's the one.
[06:39] <n-iCe`> How do I enable my wireless, is already configurated and detected it, but how do i enable it?
[06:40] <overclucker> evilofisho, and for forensics
[06:40] <evilofisho> Yep.

[06:40] <KiphereCE> well, the machine I'm installing on is basically my 'extra' PC. I want to set it up mostly as a network storage and media server.
[06:41] <jxxxt> Anyone able to tell me what to do about my ubuntu server (nz) refusing to connect. I need to update
[06:41] <n-iCe`> slimjimflim is wireless
[06:41] <Flannel> !install | KiphereCE
[06:41] <ubotu> KiphereCE: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - See also !automate
[06:41] <KiphereCE> whats "not ideal" about the wubi or whatever you mentioned?
[06:41] <mattva01> KiphereCE, give me 2 minutes im looking through the wiki for the easiest way
[06:41] <Flannel> KiphereCE: That page (first link) has instructions on network install
[06:41] <slimjimflim> n-iCe` doesn't matter
[06:41] <n-iCe`> if or iw ?
[06:41] <slimjimflim> oh, you're right
[06:41] <slimjimflim> iwconfig
[06:41] <overclucker> evilofisho, *nix has those tools, i just forget what they are called, google linux forensics tools or somthin
[06:41] <n-iCe`> iwconfig eth0 up

[06:42] <zeroamie> hello...can help me with ubuntu
[06:42] <KiphereCE> Thanks for the help. Inflection is hard to express through text but I'm quite appreciative of your time.
[06:42] <Frogzoo> somehow my ntpd got uninstalled & had to reinstall it - kind of odd
[06:43] <CoasterMaster> zeroamie: just ask your question and someone will answer if they can help you
[06:43] <n-iCe`> slimjimflim is detecting the wireless
[06:43] <n-iCe`> i just want to select that conection to use
[06:43] <zeroamie> tq frend
[06:43] <shriphani> can someone tell me how to get smaller sized font in the virtual console? I added vga=791to menu.lst. No effect still.
[06:43] <nbags> i broke this system by upgrading dapper to feisty, instead of going dapper, edgy, feisty. so now i'm trying to dist-upgrade to edgy and it won't get past installing the package 'gnome-app-install'. can anyone help me?
[06:44] <Flannel> nbags: that'll definately break it.
[06:44] <zeroamie> vmware + ubuntu can mix together or not
[06:44] <nbags> Flannel, yeah i know. but we lost the cd, and someone told me its fixable
[06:44] <MTecknology> can anybody help me get my wireless working? It worked out of the box in 7.04 and I don't see any reason it shouldn't be recognized in 7.10. In fact, the restricted driver manager tells me the driver's installed and enabled, but not in use.
[06:44] <overclucker> nbags, get fiesty iso
[06:44] <CoasterMaster> !gusty | MTecknology
[06:44] <ubotu> MTecknology: It is spelt !guTSy :)
[06:44] <slimjimflim> n-iCe`   kwifimanager OR prismstumbler or something similar
[06:45] <Flannel> nbags: I wouldn't slog through trying to get to edgy, you're already quasi-messed up, just try for feisty.
[06:45] <slimjimflim> n-iCe` does your access point have a password?
[06:45] <n-iCe`> slimjimflim yes... i added all that info
[06:45] <slimjimflim> make sure you start with none,
[06:45] <slimjimflim> then try wep
[06:45] <n-iCe`> I just wanna use the wireless eth0 connetion, hoe
[06:45] <CoasterMaster> MTecknology, for gutsy support, check out #ubuntu+1
[06:45] <slimjimflim> then try psk or whatever else
[06:45] <n-iCe`> psk 
[06:46] <n-iCe`> ?
[06:46] <MTecknology> CoasterMaster: i asked in there
[06:46] <slimjimflim> psk-2 i think
[06:46] <Zasch> Hello. I'm wondering: Is there a program or anything that will allow me to record sounds that my computer is generating and put them in an mp3 or something?
[06:46] <slimjimflim> just turn off the password and see if you get anything
[06:46] <n-iCe`> what's that
[06:46] <slimjimflim> if you can see the hostspot, that's proly the prolem
[06:46] <nbags> Flannel, yeah but some tool in this house is playing WOW and they don't have traffic shaping
[06:46] <andresj> zasch, I know that krec does that
[06:46] <jxxxt> Anyone able to tell me what to do about my ubuntu server (nz) refusing to connect. I need to update
[06:46] <overclucker> Zasch, audacity too
[06:46] <CountX> is there any reason desktop effects such as the cube effect should suddenly stop working?
[06:47] <girly90_4ever> jammaah
[06:47] <Zasch> Overclucker: I have audacity, but I don't know how to get it to do this specifically (nor do I know how to get it to export MP3s)
[06:47] <andresj> countx: bugs...
[06:47] <slimjimflim> jxxt, are you chatting from the server?
[06:47] <zeroamie> osx86 + wmware + ubuntu
[06:48] <CountX> andresj, i can get it to work if i turn the wobble effect off
[06:48] <CountX> wow
[06:48] <professorsnapper> jxxxt: if you don't get a response here, perhaps the forums might be of use.... sorry I can't offer more help
[06:48] <overclucker> Zasch, you need the lame encoder i believe, to export2mp3
[06:48] <andresj> CountX, you could try resetting the settings and restarting beryl...
[06:48] <slimjimflim> jxxxt, are you chatting from the server?
[06:48] <jxxxt> slimjimfin, I am chat on freednode yes
[06:48] <netdur> hi, can't start pidgin "libnm_glib_nm_state_cb" error
[06:48] <andresj> that worked for me several months ago, when I was in gentoo...
[06:49] <jxxxt> proffessorsnapper, thank you
[06:49] <slimjimflim> open a console, and type 'sudo apt-get update' then 'sudo apt-get upgrade'
[06:49] <sauvin> Exporting is one thing; how DO you capture sounds being made by the desktop or other sources?
[06:49] <CountX> andresj, how?
[06:49] <slimjimflim> that should take care of it
[06:49] <zeroamie> off topic : help   osx86+vmware+ubuntu
[06:49] <andresj> CountX, actually, I don't remember how to... try doing 'find ~ -name '*beryl*''
[06:49] <faileas> zeroamie: proper.sentances.
[06:49] <Azhi> another question: can i copy an entire folder with wget EXCEPT for some folders that i wonuldnt like to copy like tmp folders?
[06:49] <jxxxt> slimjimfin, I already did that and every hit got refused to connect
[06:50] <CountX> andresj, i dont have beryl installed
[06:50] <andresj> CountX, oh then compiz
[06:50] <tbeard> it's in the file menu then export to mp3
[06:50] <faileas> zeroamie: i wasn't aware OSX86 worked in vmware though
[06:50] <CountX> andresj, nothing
[06:50] <nbags> ok, if i download the minimal iso, and have a lot of packages i need here already (from another systems /var/cache/apt/archives/) how can i skip downloading those packages when installing the new system?
[06:50] <overclucker> i forget how to record the sound, but i believe you have to specify the mic input. . .
[06:50] <CountX> andresj, says thats not known
[06:50] <slimjimflim> Azhi, use the -X argument
[06:51] <faileas> or do you mean ubuntu on vmware on OSX86 zeroamie
[06:51] <bullgard4> How can I ascertain if my kernel hascompiled in Magic SysRq Keys?
[06:52] <andresj> CountX, oops its "find ~ -name '*compiz*'" (with '' around *compiz*)
[06:52] <nbags> bullgard4, zcat /proc/config.gz|grep SYSRQ
[06:52] <slimjimflim> jxxxt, make sure you type my name corectly, and you should check your firewall log to see if it's blocking your attempts
[06:52] <sauvin> I mean, most of the sounds being made by the KDE destop are stored in some directory somewhere; you just need to root around in the Control Center for it. I'd be interested in grabbing stuff coming in from a web site, for example.
[06:52] <vader1102> oh boy here goes the erm bans lol
[06:52] <Curs0r> doom3-demo has no sound?
[06:52] <nixternal> ya you are
[06:52] <professorsnapper> is anyone running Feisty on Mac OSX specifically with Parallels 2.5?
[06:52] <zeroamie> zeroamie: hi..i mean ubuntu
[06:52] <zeroamie> zeroamie: i mean ubuntu in osx86 using wmware
[06:52] <sauvin> Bite my shiny wetware [BEEP] !
[06:53] <Flannel> nbags: I don't see how that makes a difference
[06:53] <jxxxt> slimjimflim, It worked fine last week I apt-got a couple of programs sorry about name
[06:53] <bullgard4> nbags: "zcat /proc/config.gz | grep SYSRQ; zcat: /proc/config.gz: No such file or directory"
[06:53] <CountX> andresj, and how do i restart it
[06:54] <nbags> Flannel, well i don't want to download the whole iso, cause i have a lot of the packages already. how can i reinstall?
[06:54] <slimjimflim> jxxxt np just check your firewall log
[06:54] <jxxxt> slimjimflim, please tell me how to
[06:54] <andresj> CountX, you can disable and then enable Desktop Effects
[06:54] <Flannel> nbags: I didn't say download an iso, I said to bodge your way up to feisty
[06:54] <SuperLag> I had Wine installed and removed it, but an item still shows up on my System Tools menu. How do I get rid of it?
[06:55] <nbags> Flannel, oh sorry i missed that
[06:55] <nbags> Flannel, what should i do?
[06:55] <Flannel> SuperLag: 'complete removal'
[06:55] <danielmarsom> ubuntu is cool.
[06:55] <vader1102> SuperLag, I know there is a way of purging.... not sure of the command
[06:55] <CountX> danielmarsom, yes, yes ubuntu is cool
[06:55] <nickrud>  /me needs to find a definition of bodge
[06:55] <zeroamie> help me... wifi in ubuntu
[06:56] <danielmarsom> hehehe
[06:56] <Flannel> nbags: Uh, well, What errors do sudo apt-get dist-upgrade give you?
[06:56] <nbags> Flannel, ok, hang on it change it to feisty and apt-get update again
[06:56] <danielmarsom> im trying to put linux on an htc blue angel. ultimate hack.
[06:56] <slimjimflim> jxxxt, what firewall are you using?
[06:56] <danielmarsom> its been done, of course.
[06:57] <VousDeux> can anyone tell me how to get the xvncviewer going? I went into the Adept Manager and installed it, but it didn't put an icon on the menu. When I browsed to /usr/bin/xvncviewer and clicked it, it prompted me for an IP, but when I enter it, it does nothing.
[06:57] <dras> sounds like a server problkem then
[06:57] <dras> if youre accessing it over the internet make sure the port is forwarded
[06:58] <jxxxt> slimjimflim, I have no clue I did not install a firewall so maybe the default is "firestarter"
[06:58] <nbags> Flannel, well that looks like it'll work but it turns out i need 600MB downloaded anyway so we may as well get the iso
[06:58] <slimjimflim> jxxxt go to system > administration > firestarter
[06:58] <slimjimflim> if it's there
[06:59] <Flannel> nbags: ISO will be old, you'll have to download updates anyway.  You can get the mini ISO, and download those 600mb of updated packages while installing
[06:59] <carlomagno> I'm trying to install latest GTK+. While installing atk-1.19.6, I get an error message about the version of glib-2.0.: "*** 'pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0' returned 2.12.13, but GLIB (2.12.11)
[06:59] <carlomagno> *** was found!
[06:59] <VousDeux> well, it worked from my 2k3 server...not sure what's up with that...had to connect to my Dad's computer...he needs some help
[06:59] <carlomagno> More details here: http://dpaste.com/19034/. Can anybody help?
[06:59] <professorsnapper> When doing a software update, I get a warning saying that the updates "can't be authenticated", and pose a possible security risk. Should I be concerned about this? How can I get authenticated updates for Feisty?
[06:59] <jayde_drag0n> has anyone here had experience with the pcsx and pcsx2 emulators (playstation and playstation2) i have a few questions if someone can assist
[06:59] <zeroamie> faileas: hi..i mean ubuntu
[06:59] <zeroamie>  i mean ubuntu in osx86 using wmware
[07:00] <slimjimflim> are there a lot of ubuntu employees in here?
[07:00] <DShepherd> #ubuntu+1
[07:00] <Extravert> anyone know the command to make latency 0?
[07:00] <DShepherd> oops
[07:00] <faileas> zeroamie: no reason it shouldn't work
[07:00] <kostkon> professorsnapper, for which packages you get the warning?
[07:00] <christiano> e ae?
[07:00] <slimjimflim> ./set latency = 0
[07:00] <Extravert> really?
[07:00] <faileas> vmware is vmware, and i have sucessfully gotten 6.06 server and 7.04 desktop installs working
[07:00] <slimjimflim> no
[07:00] <Extravert> >_>
[07:01] <CountX> how do you un-install an application
[07:01] <slimjimflim> apt-get remove
[07:01] <zeroamie> faileas: tq
[07:01] <christiano> i need install firefox 2
[07:01] <professorsnapper> kostkon: about 50 of them - ranging from python 2.5 thru firefox, etc etc...
[07:01] <jayde_drag0n> CountX: sudo apt-get remove from terminal ALSO add/remove programs under applications and Synaptics package manager from System
[07:01] <slimjimflim> christiano `sudo apt-get install firefox`
[07:01] <n-iCe`> !wireless
[07:01] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[07:02] <faileas> zeroamie: you could also just download a VM from VMware i think ;p
[07:02] <zeroamie> faileas: wifi support in ubuntu
[07:02] <Gryphon_> alot of good info on wireless at http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/  as well
[07:02] <zeroamie> faileas:ok
[07:02] <faileas> zeroamie: hmm its compilicated
[07:02] <clouder> What do I do if kill -9 still doesn't kill a process?  Any other options other than rebooting?
[07:03] <slimjimflim> n-iCe` did you end up getting the password disabled?
[07:03] <vader1102> clouder, xkill
[07:03] <faileas> VMware does NOT use your PCI connection. USB wifi will work if compatable. i have never tried bridging in vmware on wireless so i donno if it will work
[07:03] <faileas> *PCI interface
[07:03] <open-gl1> i want to boot ubuntu as live cd. Right now i am on this screen that say ubuntu and has start or install ubuntu etc etc. I press F6 and it says boot options and I have to boot as a live cd what do i type
[07:03] <n-iCe`> slimjimflim isnt that look, DHCPDISCOVER what's that?
[07:04] <zeroamie> faileas: i using a laptop
[07:04] <CoasterMaster> open-gli: just choose Start or Install ubuntu (the first option)
[07:04] <n-iCe`> NO DHCPOFFERS RECIVIED
[07:04] <clouder> vader1102: it's not a clickable window it's wine-pthread
[07:04] <christiano> dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[07:04] <vader1102> sorry then clouder I tried
[07:04] <slimjimflim> open-gl1, 'start or install' is the same option...both are live-cd
[07:04] <faileas> zeroamie: yeah. i know a USB adaptor will work, directly. i donno about using bridging and wifi
[07:04] <clouder> np, thanks anyways
[07:05] <faileas> i was gonna test it later actually, once i get my vmware dedicated laptop up ;p
[07:05] <vader1102> night follks 1 am here....... time for this "old" guy to get some sleep
[07:05] <open-gl1> ok got it
[07:05] <slimjimflim> n-iCe` dunno
[07:05] <jxxxt> slimjimflim, I have no firewall log per se and the other logs give me no idea of what is happening. auth.log tells that I used the commands but gave no outcomes
[07:05] <zeroamie> faileas: yes right now.. using usb dlink dwl122
[07:05] <christiano> brasilians?
[07:06] <christiano> portuguese?
[07:06] <zeroamie> faileas: tq:>
[07:06] <slimjimflim> jxxxt, so firestarter was there or no?
[07:06] <CountX> i cant seem to uninstall vmware
[07:06] <faileas> zeroamie: no problem ;)
[07:06] <jxxxt> slimjimflim, No
[07:06] <CountX> is there an easy way to remove everything vmware related
[07:07] <kostkon> professorsnapper, strange. If you go to "System -> Adiminstration -> Software Sources" and see at the "Authentication" tab if you have the key for the ubuntu repositories
[07:07] <faileas> CountX: no idea. how did you install it? using the script @ vmware.com?
[07:07] <zeroamie> faileas: i try download ubuntu.. going tryit first..
[07:07] <slimjimflim> jxxxt, have you tried: system > administration > 'update manager'
[07:08] <CountX> faileas, no someone else on this computer did
[07:08] <Bakefy> is there a VNC server already set up with ubuntu.
[07:08] <faileas> CountX: well, if you don't know how it was installed, you wouldn't know how to uninstall it?
[07:08] <jxxxt> slimjimflim, I get the same result as terminal connection refused
[07:08] <mikehansl1l> anyone know what type of encryption nis wrapper can handle?
[07:08] <owen1> how to play DVD from netflix?
[07:09] <CountX> faileas, thats kinda flawed, what now i just wipe this computer?
[07:09] <faileas> hmm
[07:09] <faileas> yeah :(
[07:09] <Bakefy> what VNC server should I install?
[07:09] <faileas> or check if you can remove it from package manager first
[07:09] <christiano> help
[07:09] <faileas> then... else there SHOULD be an uninstall script
[07:10] <CountX> faileas, where
[07:10] <clarkey_> Hi I just installed the gusty daily build and I cant get my wireless to work should I file a bug report or is there something I am missing?
[07:10] <professorsnapper> kostkon: thanks for the reply. Seems I have two keys - one is the Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key, the 2nd is the Ubuntu CD image Auto signing key.
[07:10] <CoasterMaster> !gusty | clarkey_
[07:10] <ubotu> clarkey_: It is spelt !guTSy :)
[07:10] <CoasterMaster> clarkey_: gutsy support in #ubuntu+1
[07:10] <clarkey_> ok thnx
[07:10] <professorsnapper> Kostkon: maybe I should hit the button "restore defaults" at the bottom of that tab?
[07:10] <CountX> is gusty the new one?
[07:11] <faileas> CountX: erm, i donno add/remove or synaptic?
[07:11] <CoasterMaster> !gusty | CountX
[07:11] <ubotu> CountX: It is spelt !guTSy :)
[07:11] <n-iCe`> is not dhcp for get auto ip???
[07:11] <CoasterMaster> WHY DO I KEEP DOING THAT
[07:11] <CoasterMaster> !gutsy | CountX
[07:11] <ubotu> CountX: Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10) | (due October 2007) | It is development software, as such unstable, support _only_ in #ubuntu+1
[07:11] <faileas> hmm
[07:11] <faileas> CountX: try sudo vmware-uninstall.pl from console
[07:12] <mikehansl1l> anyone know what type of encryption ndis wrapper can handle?
[07:12] <CountX> faileas, command not found...
[07:12] <christiano> slim?
[07:12] <faileas> hmm
[07:12] <slimjimflim> jxxxt, well, the only other thing i can suggest, is to go through the output from `ps -A` and search for each prog ruling out each as your possible firewall
[07:12] <faileas> thats a good sign
[07:12] <Bakefy> what VNC server will let me control from a windows machine?
[07:12] <faileas> that means he used the repos
[07:12] <kostkon> professorsnapper, hmm, it's an option. I haven't tried it myself but you can do it I guess. But it seems that you have the keys needed.
[07:12] <faileas> what package manager do you use? check if you can remove it rom there
[07:12] <open-gl1> i get this error message saying something there was a error starting the GNOME settings Daemon.
[07:12] <slimjimflim> christiano, what?
[07:13] <faileas> hmm
[07:13] <faileas> waiiittt
[07:13] <faileas> CountX: vmware server right?
[07:13] <Bakefy> How do i enable VNC on my ubunut?
[07:13] <CountX> faileas, i dont know, all i know is my little bro installed it and i need it off cause this lappy is for work
[07:13] <mat2> hello
[07:13] <faileas> ....
[07:13] <jxxxt> slimjimflim, okey dokey just weird that it was working well and now is not I might try and contact a NZ user to see if they are having probs
[07:13] <mat2> I need some assistance
[07:13] <christiano> slim dpkg was interrupted
[07:13] <faileas> cripes, beat him into answering ;).
[07:13] <faileas> hmm
[07:14] <Zasch> Hello. I'm trying to compile Audacity, but when I type "./configure", it tells me "Could not find wx-config: is wxWidgets installed? is wx-config in your path?"
[07:14] <faileas> CountX: if its player, replace server with player on the same command
[07:14] <professorsnapper> Kostkon: I'll give it a go and report back in a minute...
[07:14] <Flannel> Zasch: why are you compiling?
[07:14] <slimjimflim> christiano, you're going to have to be a little more specific
[07:14] <CountX> faileas, what command?
[07:14] <faileas> erm
[07:14] <faileas> never mind
[07:14] <CountX> faileas, sudo vmware-uninstall.pl?
[07:14] <mat2> I went into Users and Groups in gnome and unchecked "administer system" in my account and now i cant undo what do i do?
[07:14] <faileas> *thinks*
[07:14] <Zasch> Flannel: Because when I just download it from repositories, it doesn't have the mixer toolbar, and the website says that if it doesn't have such a toolbar, then something wasn't included in the compile
[07:15] <faileas> that shouldn't do anything
[07:15] <faileas> so, it SHOULD be removable from a package manager
[07:15] <slimjimflim> christiano, and please use my full name
[07:15] <jxxxt> mikehansl1l, it claim to be ablw to handle wep but mine failed miserably on dapper with a bcm43xx card
[07:15] <faileas> ok, try apt-cache search vmware CountX
[07:15] <Flannel> Zasch: alright.  if you do 'sudo apt-get build-deps audacity' it'll install everything you need to compile it
[07:15] <christiano> do you say to me 'sudo apt-get install firefox
[07:15] <Flannel> mat2: do you have any other administrator users on the system?
[07:16] <mat2> i dont know
[07:16] <faileas> then try removing each one that turns up until it works ;)
[07:16] <mat2> i just installed
[07:16] <CountX> faileas, a whole lot came up
[07:16] <faileas> (this is VERY hit and miss)
[07:16] <christiano> error: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run
[07:16] <slimjimflim> christiano ya, either that or mozilla...please put my full screen name in messages you send me
[07:16] <Zasch> Flannel: It says "Invalid operation build-deps" (Sorry if I'm doing something completely nubish)
[07:16] <faileas> CountX: try removing them, one by one
[07:16] <discworld> Hi!! Ubuntu keeps crashing all the time! help please!! I have to reboot like 4 times until it works, and then after couple minutes it crashes again!!
[07:16] <christiano> thanks
[07:16] <christiano> ok
[07:16] <Flannel> mat2: Have you created any others?  Alright, that's no.  You'll need to reboot, at GRUB (hit escape after POST screen to see the menu) boot to the recovery console, then re-add your user to the admin group.
[07:16] <discworld> when I start, it loads, the ubuntu logo comes up and the loading bar starts to fill
[07:16] <CountX> faileas, ok, how do i do that
[07:16] <Flannel> Zasch: hmm, sorry, it's build-dep, no s.
[07:16] <mat2> how do i readd
[07:16] <slimjimflim> christiano so it's working now?
[07:16] <professorsnapper> Kostkon: Hmmm, I seem to be ahving trouble with closing my update manager to try the process again... maybe these issues are related?
[07:16] <CountX> faileas, some sound important
[07:17] <mat2> not very console sharp
[07:17] <christiano> wait
[07:17] <discworld> but when I'm suppose to type my login username and pass, everything is black and Ihave to try reboot again
[07:17] <faileas> CountX: erm, use common sense then
[07:17] <discworld> no it's not ok, it's gonna crash soon I think, I know it
[07:17] <Flannel> mat2: You'll need to do `usermod -G admin -a [username] `
[07:17] <CountX> faileas, "libview-dev - VMware's Incredibly Exciting Widgets
[07:17] <CountX> libview2 - VMware's Incredibly Exciting Widgets
[07:17] <CountX> libview2-dbg - VMware's Incredibly Exciting Widgets"
[07:17] <faileas> like i said, its VERY difficult to remove something, if you donno what it is
[07:17] <kostkon> professorsnapper, what happens? why you can't close it?
[07:17] <faileas> those are important?
[07:17] <discworld> what might be casuing this and how can I fix it asap?
[07:17] <open-gl1> my mouse pointer is not moving but the cd is still running
[07:17] <faileas> remove remove remove!
[07:18] <mat2> usermod -G admin -a [matthew] 
[07:18] <CountX> faileas, thanks, just wasnt sure
[07:18] <faileas> if their not there, you will get errors, ignore them ! ;)
[07:18] <mat2> like that^
[07:18] <discworld> when it crashes, the mouse slows down like really fast and then stops, the screen, keyboard nor mouse ir resping and I have to cut the power
[07:18] <CountX> faileas, how do i remove them?
[07:18] <professorsnapper> Kostkon: I get the "wait" indicator instead of the mouse pointer - two minutes and still waiting...
[07:18] <faileas> sudo apt-get remove packagename
[07:18] <Flannel> mat2: no [] s
[07:18] <faileas> its gonna take a while to run through the list tho
[07:18] <mat2> oh ok
[07:18] <mat2> ill try it
[07:18] <yokomo> can you guys help me with a cedega/eve online error?
[07:19] <xamox> how do I use right click in linux on a mac?
[07:19] <professorsnapper> Kostkon: I'm just restarting Ubuntu now. WIll see if that helps.
[07:19] <Jake> Hello, I'm in the process of setting up a Linux machine for the first time.  I'm trying to decide between the Ubuntu and Ark distros.  Does Ubuntu come with WINE pre-installed?
[07:20] <faileas> Jake: i don't think so, but its easy to install
[07:20] <CyberCod> its in the repository
[07:20] <n-iCe`> How do i set my channel on wireless
[07:20] <CyberCod> channel is usually set by the router
[07:20] <discworld> When staring PC, instaid of the "login" screen I get a black screen and nothing happens. I have to cut the power and try again, somtimes it works. But when i'm on the computer, occasionally everything freezes for no reason. And I have to reboot again by cutting the power. usually I have to try reboot over 4 times to get to the login screen. What might casue this??
[07:20] <Flannel> Jake: no, but it's a single command to install.  Really, what it comes with pre-installed isn't a really big deal, since most distros with package management make things completely painless to install
[07:20] <n-iCe`> CyberCod yeah but how i write it in linux
[07:21] <n-iCe`> in the iwconfig
[07:21] <CyberCod> I used to know lol
[07:21] <SEJeff> Lenovo wants to know what Linux distro they should ship on thinkpads, make it Ubuntu: http://lenovoblogs.com/insidethebox/?p=98
[07:21] <CyberCod> gimme a minute
[07:21] <n-iCe`> thank you
[07:21] <n-iCe`> sudo iwconfig eth0 channel 6
[07:21] <yokomo> n-iCe`, sudo iwconfig <eth1, wlan0> C 6
[07:21] <n-iCe`> doesn't work
[07:22] <n-iCe`> Just C ?
[07:22] <Aminux> hi
[07:22] <n-iCe`> nope, doesn't work neither
[07:22] <yokomo> sorry, no
[07:22] <kostkon> professorsnapper, is the manager still running. Nevertheless, to fix the warnings try to do a "sudo apt-get update" from the terminal. Maybe you had a problem getting all the info from the repositories
[07:22] <yokomo> channel
[07:22] <n-iCe`> yokomo but i get this , loko
[07:22] <n-iCe`> look
[07:22] <Jake> Thank you.  I think I will set my first system up with Ubuntu.
[07:22] <discworld> What is a buffer and how do I reset it?? when loading it once said that the buffer was full.. maybe it might be that??
[07:22] <yokomo> and it helps if you are using this command BEFORE you connect to an ap
[07:23] <n-iCe`> Error for wireless request "set frequency" (8B04) :
[07:23] <n-iCe`> SET failed on device eth0 ; operation not permitted
[07:23] <yokomo> n-iCe`, are you using network-manager?
[07:23] <n-iCe`> yokomo not graphical
[07:23] <n-iCe`> is only console, i'm on ubuntu-server
[07:23] <yokomo> oh
[07:23] <CyberCod> www.linuxcommand.org/man_pages/iwconfig8.html   there you go
[07:23] <n-iCe`> i did it work in at the morning, now isn't working :<
[07:23] <professorsnapper> Kostkon: I've restarted Ubuntu, and now the manager is saying "could not download all repo indexes". Will take your advice and try terminal mode.
[07:24] <n-iCe`> CyberCod i know that is the iwconfig man
[07:24] <evilofisho> Gah, does ANYONE know of a memory editor for linux? Google is failing me. :<
[07:24] <CyberCod> yes, you need the syntax, right?
[07:24] <n-iCe`> But, why doesn't work the channel and how do i set the frequency i dont' get the error
[07:24] <yokomo> n-iCe`, and you know the ap is still broadcasting?
[07:24] <CountX> faileas, i keep uninstalling stuff but apt-cache search vmware turns up the same stuff
[07:24] <n-iCe`> yokomo well yeah in iwconfig i got signal link etc... everything seems to be fine, but is just not working
[07:24] <faileas> CountX: its ok
[07:24] <CountX> faileas, what does it mean?
[07:24] <discworld> In Ubuntu, what might be the most usual cause of random Crashes??
[07:24] <faileas> apt-cache search tells you what ALL the vmware packages are
[07:25] <n-iCe`> if i send sudo ifup eth0
[07:25] <CyberCod> n-iCe`: I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish... usually, your channel is set by the router and broadcast along with the ssid
[07:25] <n-iCe`> it give me errors
[07:25] <CountX> faileas, can i clear the cache?
[07:25] <faileas> since you don't know what to remove, try removing the one by one until you remove what you have
[07:25] <discworld> !buffer
[07:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about buffer - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[07:25] <faileas> no need
[07:25] <professorsnapper> Kostkon: terminal gives me a whole list of "failed to fetch" responses. Maybe it's not seeing the archive?
[07:25] <mat2> thx man it worked!
[07:25] <discworld> What's a buffer, how does it work and how do I reset it?
[07:25] <shawnr34> I can access my windows shared drives on ubuntu, but when i try to access them on windows its asking for a username and password and I can't figure it out. My linus login doesn't work. can anyone help me out?
[07:25] <faileas> CountX: apt-cache search = search for avialable packages. it shouldn't change
[07:25] <CyberCod> anyone in here good with NFS?
[07:25] <mat2> i have one more question
[07:26] <CountX> faileas, dang
[07:26] <CountX> faileas, i have a lot more to search
[07:26] <kostkon> professorsnapper, yeah, maybe the repository is down. Do you use a local repository?
[07:26] <faileas> yeah you do
[07:26] <n-iCe`> look, CyberCod i'm getting this error: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=434600
[07:26] <n-iCe`> yokomo look: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=434600
[07:26] <faileas> CountX: personally it would be faster to drag your brother over by the ear and ask him what he did ;p
[07:26] <mat2> I dloaded lokkit and secured internet with it but what is the official position on antivirus, i hear some say no antivius but then some say i should
[07:26] <professorsnapper> Kostkon: I'm just using the default settings, no locals at present.
[07:27] <slimjimflim> shawnr34, create a new user on your linux machine, and give it appropriate permisions to your share folder, then log in with that username/password
[07:27] <CountX> faileas, i would if he was here
[07:27] <CyberCod> shawnr34, this is a good guide, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605&highlight=howto+samba
[07:27] <yokomo> n-iCe`, that seems like a different error message, I thought you said you were getting a channel error
[07:27] <n-iCe`> yokomo when i try to select a channel
[07:28] <whalesalad> hey guys how can i bind apache to one ip and another web server to another
[07:28] <mat2> should i get an antivirus or should i shrug it off?
[07:28] <yokomo> well, I am not too familiar with the command line iwconfig
[07:28] <shawnr34> slimjimflim, i don't understand, i want to access files on my current users home dir. why do i have to create a new user?
[07:28] <evilofisho> Gah, does ANYONE know of a memory editor for linux? Google is failing me. :<
[07:28] <slimjimflim> whalesaladhttp://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/examples.html
[07:28] <yokomo> however, I have a problem with the aps... I stop the service, input my ap address and then it connects correctly
[07:29] <slimjimflim> whalesalad http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/examples.html
[07:29] <CyberCod> n-iCe`: this is wireless? and shows up in iwconfig? or are you using ifconfig?
[07:29] <tarntow> Problem of having sound suddenly gone dead...what is the fix apart from rebooting ? thanx
[07:29] <yokomo> maybe stopping and inputting your channel will help?
[07:29] <CyberCod> are you sure the DHCP server is active on the router?
[07:29] <kostkon> professorsnapper, do you get the fail message for all of the urls?
[07:29] <jerbear> i would like to compile a new version of vim (using the same compile options as ubuntu's package). ubuntu's is 7.0. i would like to compile 7.1. how can i do that? (i already have the build tools/deps, and know how to use them)
[07:30] <slimjimflim> shawn34, you can give that user only permission to use the share folder.  that way, if somebody illigitimately gets access, they're confined do the share folder
[07:30] <christiano> list canais
[07:30] <CyberCod> before you break your arm pulling on the cord, make sure there is gas in the mower
[07:31] <CyberCod> I'm getting some super weak NFS transfer speeds and I dunno why
[07:32] <n-iCe`> how do i all the wireless conenction?
[07:32] <CyberCod> n-iCe`:  um,,, huh?
[07:32] <CyberCod> how do you all it?
[07:33] <professorsnapper> Kostkon: I get several blocks of error messages - some starting with "err" some starting with "Ign", then the rest with "failed to fetch". What should I be looking for, do you think?
[07:33] <CountX> what do you guys suggest for running a virtual machine?
[07:33] <CyberCod> CountX I use vmware server
[07:33] <CountX> CyberCod, other then vmware
[07:34] <open-gl> how long does it take for the ubuntu to load. I am on a amd 3000+ with 256mb ram.
[07:34] <CountX> cause it wont install cause my bro effed up my lappy
[07:34] <CyberCod> other than that?.... there's virtualbox, but I've not used it
[07:34] <open-gl> i have been waiting 15 minutes already
[07:34] <CountX> open-gl, i like ur name :P
[07:34] <overclucker> open-gl, get a stopwatch
[07:34] <open-gl> and i see a black screen with just the mouse pointer which wont move
[07:34] <lint> This is totally off topic, but does anyone know of any .NET or ASP related channels? Apologies for the BACN..
[07:34] <CyberCod> CountX, how so?  u usually have to remove all files associated with it before it will install
[07:34] <Tsukasa> hey has anyone tried ubuntu and kubuntu recently? im wondering the +s and -s to kde vs gnome
[07:35] <slimjimflim> open-gl, you need more ram
[07:35] <CyberCod> I'll get flamed for saying this, but Automatix does a decent job of installing vmware
[07:35] <overclucker> open-gl, where is the bar? <[07:35] <CyberCod> so long as you don't already have vmware player installed
[07:35] <kostkon> professorsnapper, hmm. it looks like there is a problem getting the packages list from your repositories. It looks like a connection problem or a repository server is down. Does your repositories urls have a country prefix in front of them?
[07:35] <CountX> CyberCod, it says theres a previous installation
[07:35] <open-gl> i past the gnome error
[07:35] <slimjimflim> lint #windows
[07:35] <CountX> CyberCod, my bro was messing with vmware but doesnt know jack
[07:36] <n-iCe`> how can i turn off my pc by console ?
[07:36] <open-gl> where it was a screen with a peach color
[07:36] <yokomo> n-iCe`, sudo shutdown -h now
[07:36] <acad> if i modify sudoer with visudo when does it take effect?
[07:36] <professorsnapper> Kostkon: No prefix that I can see. Looks like http://archive.ubuntu.com
[07:36] <overclucker> open-gl, do you have swap?
[07:36] <n-iCe`> thank you yokomo i'll see if i turn off the pc, it can work again
[07:36] <open-gl> dont know what swap
[07:37] <n-iCe`> btw it didn't turn off the pc, says, system halted
[07:37] <professorsnapper> Kostkon: and also http://security.ubuntu.com
[07:37] <CountX> is automatrix server down?
[07:37] <open-gl> the cd is still running
[07:37] <Flannel> !automatix | CountX
[07:37] <ubotu> CountX: Automatix2 is a block of code which attempts to install some software.  When it fails and breaks systems, we don't provide support for it.  A creditable analysis from a debian/ubuntu developer is here - http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html (Additional information: /msg ubotu worksforme)
[07:37] <yokomo> n-iCe`, did you do "sudo shutdown -h now"?
[07:37] <yokomo> the whole thing?
[07:37] <n-iCe`> yup
[07:37] <kostkon> professorsnapper, for the urls that you get the "failed to fetch" you could add your local prefix in front of it to see if it will work better.
[07:38] <CountX> Flannel, is the server down?
[07:38] <DuClare> n-iCe`, try `sudo shutdown -hP now`
[07:38] <yokomo> interesting
[07:38] <slimjimflim> n-iCe, try sudo halt
[07:38] <DuClare> nipra, where P is for halt-action Power off
[07:38] <CyberCod> CountX, if you do a search for all files with VM in them, in the whole filesystem, you should be able to locate and delete your failed install... then have automatix install it for you
[07:38] <Flannel> CountX: We don't know, we'd be happy if it went away forever.
[07:38] <Flannel> CyberCod: Please don't recommend automatix here.
[07:38] <jxxxt> slimjimflim, Fixed..... I changed servers goes good now..
[07:38] <overclucker> open-gl, http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/10/07/memory-swap-management/#comment-77307
[07:38] <jetscreamer> add the path
[07:38] <CountX> Flannel, now thats not very nice :
[07:38] <yokomo> DuClare, ahhh, mine just does it automagically
[07:38] <Flannel> CountX: Neither is what it does to people's installs.
[07:38] <damo22> is there a good distro for a linux jukebox using a joystick for input?
[07:38] <kostkon> professorsnapper, , for which of them you get the "failed to fetch"?
[07:39] <CountX> Flannel, like 'go away' as in the way the mob uses it?
[07:39] <slimjimflim> jxxxt, what did you do?
[07:39] <CyberCod> No NFS gurus in here at all then?
[07:39] <jetscreamer> damo22: mplayer does joystick
[07:39] <professorsnapper> Kostkon: Right, so for Australia, would it be "http://au.archive.ubuntu.com"?
[07:39] <damo22> jetscreamer: i see.. does that use lirc?
[07:39] <jetscreamer> it also does lirc damo22
[07:40] <jetscreamer> damo22: #mplayer
[07:40] <jxxxt> slimjimflim, System>administration>sofware sources... Change server
[07:40] <kostkon> professorsnapper, I assume yes. You can edit your sources list from a text editor, it would more easy and fast. Just do a "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" from the terminal. When you finish do again the "sudo apt-get update".
[07:40] <n-iCe`> DuClare same
[07:41] <n-iCe`> SYSTEM HALTED
[07:41] <jetscreamer> http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/index.html
[07:41] <slimjimflim> oh, ok
[07:41] <christiano> ola
[07:41] <slimjimflim> jxxxt ^
[07:41] <christiano> preciso de ajuda com o firefox
[07:41] <christiano> alguem?
[07:41] <slimjimflim> n-iCe so now you can hit the power button
[07:41] <jetscreamer> !br
[07:41] <ubotu> Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigado.
[07:41] <christiano> muito obrigado
[07:41] <jetscreamer> np
[07:41] <slimjimflim> n-iCe` and then again to restart
[07:42] <slimjimflim> or ctrl-alt-del
[07:42] <overclucker> CountX, he meant it as in '/quit'
[07:43] <overclucker> CountX, or as in 'gee, could you umm, please try to be less abrasive?'
[07:44] <clarkey_> does anyone here know how to power on the radio in a wireless card?
[07:44] <faileas> clarkey_: depends on the system really
[07:44] <faileas> some do it in HW
[07:44] <CountX> so then why do people recomend it?
[07:44] <chuy_max> hi, I installed postfix, and mail receiving is working, but I have problems with sending mail, sending locally works, but if I try to send mails to or from the internet I have trouble
[07:45] <chuy_max> can anyone look at my main.cf file please? http://pastebin.ca/688107
[07:45] <clarkey_> faileas: well im on a laptop but the button has broken upgrading from feisty to gusty
[07:45] <Flannel> CountX: We don't recommend it.
[07:45] <Flannel> CountX: If you read the link, you'll find a good deal of reasons why people /shouldn't/ recommend it.
[07:45] <kidbuntu> in a browser. what do you mean by bookmark this page?
[07:46] <clarkey_> and yes I know about ubuntu+1 but theyre not being helpful
[07:46] <CountX> Flannel, ya sry i brought it up
[07:46] <faileas> clarkey_: isn't gutsy experimental?
[07:46] <Flannel> CountX: Nothing wrong with it.  But we don't support it here, let alone know the server status.
[07:46] <faileas> IE, stuff might break
[07:46] <clarkey_> yea
[07:47] <faileas> then again, i'm still using 6.06 LTS in some systems ;p
[07:47] <Tsukasa> hey you can run kde apps in gnome cant you?
[07:47] <bullgard4> /boot/config-2.6.20-16-generic contains a line 'CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ=y'. In a console, pressing Alt+SysRq+m produces a line '[44334.060000] SysRq : Show Memory' on my laptop computer; the cursor jumps to the beginning of the next line and stays there. How to get that memory dump on my screen?
[07:47] <dns_56> gutsy is defentately pre-release, if you know how to fix broken packages and don't care if your system doesn't boot anymore you can use it
[07:47] <Tsukasa> dns_56, i installed tribe 5 and it works fine for me
[07:48] <tonyyarusso> Tsukasa: yes
[07:48] <dns_56> you always need to force a few packages if you move to it before it is released though, and occasionally X or the kernel does break :)
[07:48] <Tsukasa> i didnt need to
[07:49] <Tsukasa> i just ran the update manager and i was good
[07:49] <acad> i added "default ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/adduser" to the bottom of my sudoer file and i am still prompted for a password when i go to add a user like this "sudo adder jack"
[07:49] <acad> am i missing something? do i need to do something else/
[07:50] <Tsukasa> dns_56, sounds like someones a little skiddish about betas ;)
[07:50] <Tsukasa> put some evil spirit wards on your computer
[07:50] <jetscreamer> acad: %sudo ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL
[07:50] <jetscreamer> acad: %username ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL
[07:50] <faileas> Tsukasa: donno, one of my test VMs is an OS in alpha status ;p all i'm saying is don't espect it to work perfectly until its ready
[07:51] <jetscreamer> amend to taste
[07:51] <faileas> sometimes not even after that ;p
[07:51] <jetscreamer> acad: man sudoers
[07:51] <dns_56> not really, i usually switch to ubuntu +1 a month ahead you just need to be warned things do break and expect to download 100+mb daily as they update things
[07:52] <mhz> hi all
[07:52] <DuClare> hi.
[07:52] <mhz> i'm just installing ubuntu on my notebook
[07:52] <professorsnapper> Kostkon: thanks for your help, by the way :) . Will try that. When I go to System>Admin>Software Sources and change the "download from" dropdown from Australia to the main server, the result seems to be the same...
[07:52] <mhz> but what is the root password
[07:52] <DuClare> mhz, you don't really have one
[07:52] <mhz> is it toor?
[07:52] <DuClare> mhz, use sudo
[07:52] <nazeeh> it's not...
[07:53] <mhz> no root account?
[07:53] <nazeeh> to change root password, type sudo passwd root
[07:53] <nazeeh> this will let you set the root password
[07:53] <astro76> !root | mhz
[07:53] <ubotu> mhz: 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
[07:54] <Flannel> nazeeh: Please don't recommend that.
[07:54] <jetscreamer> now explain why
[07:54] <nazeeh> oh..isn't that what the docs recommend? at least I remember reading it there... my bad
[07:54] <jetscreamer> or why not
[07:54] <jetscreamer> that is how.
[07:54] <Flannel> nazeeh: no, the docs recommend not setting a root password
[07:54] <mhz> thanks DuClare, sudo works on it
[07:54] <mhz> ;)
[07:54] <stdin> !sudo
[07:55] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[07:55] <codeane> mhz: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions#head-a93fe09558d05b95a3b68200c629ec1cf3a70d7f
[07:55] <nazeeh> Flannel: ah...ok... I think i found that info via searching the web. I can see why sudo is better though. I personally use it vs root
[07:55] <professorsnapper> Kostkon:.....and when I change the sources list thru that text mode, I get the response that the sources.list file couldn't be saved, as it wasn't found...
[07:56] <Flannel> nazeeh: if you've set a root password, you can always disable it with sudo passwd -l (that's an L)
[07:56] <nazeeh> Flannel: good idea... thanks for the tip!
[07:57] <kostkon> professorsnapper, first close any apt frontend like synaptic or update manager to be sure. Did you use "sudo" in front of the command?
[07:57] <nazeeh> Flannel: locked my root account :)
[07:58] <n-iCe`> i caaaaaaaaant :>
[07:58] <stdin> Flannel: sudo passwd -d -l is better
[07:58] <n-iCe`> :<
[07:59] <Flannel> stdin: I don't see how -d would make a difference.
[07:59] <fatcatmatt> here we go!  UBUNTU!
[07:59] <yotam> hi all is there anyone who can help me with my svn folder? it is locked and I can't unlock it
[07:59] <professorsnapper> Kostkon: I did have Synaptic / update manager closed, and I did use sudo, but not having much luck I'm afraid...
[07:59] <fatcatmatt> everybody on the debian channels are turds!
[07:59] <fatcatmatt> idk why i was there, but yeah...im in the right place now
[08:00] <Flannel> yotam: locked?
[08:00] <yotam> yes
[08:00] <yotam> svn: Working copy '/home/yotam/h/web old' locked
[08:00] <n-iCe`> How can i search for all the wireless connection availables on ubuntu?
[08:00] <n-iCe`> iwlist scan or somethin similar how is it?
[08:01] <pergesu> how can I see what processes are taking up the most memory?  I know I can use top to take a look at processes, but then I don't know how to sort by memory
[08:01] <kostkon> professorsnapper, yeah strange. You should be able to edit it and save it without any problem.
[08:01] <fatcatmatt> nice, got the perfect tool, hold up
[08:01] <Flannel> yotam: `svn status` and theyve got an L in the third column?
[08:02] <fatcatmatt> n-iCe`: knetworkmanager
[08:02] <yotam> Flannel: I get L next to the .
[08:02] <professorsnapper> Kostkon: Do we have any tool like Window$ Remote Desktop that would allow you to see what I'm seeing?
[08:02] <Flannel> yotam: Right.  ASsuming you're not currently saving any of the files in that w.c.?
[08:02] <jerbear> how do i use the scripts from the package "vim-scripts"? are they enabled by default?
[08:02] <rockets> whats the console command to open the screenshot app
[08:03] <Flannel> yotam: `svn cleanup` will fix it.
[08:03] <yotam> Flannel: I tried it
[08:03] <yotam> all seem ok
[08:03] <n-iCe`> fatcatmatt im on ubuntu server
[08:03] <kostkon> professorsnapper, yeah, but don't know any specifics, sorry.
[08:03] <overclucker> rockets, print screen?
[08:04] <AvaTaRT> hey who can to help me with the video of my pc
[08:04] <AvaTaRT> ??
[08:04] <AvaTaRT> SiS 86C202 AGP with this
[08:04] <yotam> Flannel: but when I try and do "svn ci" I get an error msg saying that my folder is locked
[08:04] <Flannel> yotam: you said the lock was on .?  you need to go to your parent folder and do the cleanup
[08:04] <professorsnapper> Kostkon: that's ok - I'm hugely grateful for your time. Any suggestions from here?
[08:04] <scipio> pergesu, "sudo aptitude install htop" htop lets your sort the list
[08:05] <pergesu> thanks
[08:05] <rockets> overclucker, gnome-screenshot
[08:05] <rockets> thats it
[08:05] <overclucker> ah
[08:05] <yotam> to the svn parent folder? or to my user parent folder?
[08:05] <Flannel> yotam: cd .. && svn cleanup
[08:06] <overclucker> make sense, considering the app is called gnome-sceenshot, lol
[08:07] <yotam> Flannel: got it, thanks
[08:07] <yotam> Flannel: ciau
[08:07] <kostkon> professorsnapper, how do you connect to the internet? Do you use a proxy or something like that?
[08:07] <fatcatmatt> n-iCe`: oohhh...idk then
[08:08] <H0lyD4wg> can someone here help me with udev rules?
[08:08] <LDS_Trooper> Greetings!
[08:09] <LDS_Trooper> Is there a way to change the opacity of folders while viewing them?
[08:09] <Sir_Sid> where is the httpd.conf file apache uses when it installs in a LAMP setup from the ubuntu server cd
[08:09] <codeane> chuy_max, check your relayhost =
[08:09] <open-gl> ok i am on desktop now and i see two icons on with examples and the other is istall. I just want to run live cd whats next.
[08:10] <Sir_Sid> the one in /etc/apache2 is empty
[08:10] <Darth_Gimp> Is there a way to change the opacity of folders while viewing them?
[08:11] <professorsnapper> Kostkon: no proxy as yet, just a straight connection (though I'll be looking to change that in the near future). I've just noticed that I inserted an extra space in the terminal command - will try again & check back in a couple of minutes...
[08:11] <kostkon> professorsnapper, ok
[08:12] <chuy_max> codeane, is it similar to mx? (I set this up in yahoo, it is my registrar)
[08:12] <dns_56> Sir_Sid: the config should be /etc/apache2/httpd.conf it is hidden by normal users so you will need to sudo into root to view/edit
[08:13] <Sir_Sid> Ive been acessing it via command line, its just when I view it. Its completly emptey
[08:13] <Sir_Sid> and apache is running
[08:13] <Sir_Sid> and when I go to my ip, it does load the default test page
[08:13] <dns_56> are you root or in the apache group?
[08:14] <Sir_Sid> i ran sudo kate (i put kde on it)
[08:14] <Sir_Sid> kate=gedit
[08:14] <Sir_Sid> right?
[08:14] <DSpair> Anyone know what package to install to get the man pages for the standard C++ headers?
[08:14] <Sir_Sid> sudo kate /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
[08:14] <nickrud> Sir_Sid: /var/www
[08:14] <codeane> chuy_max, i think u need to set it to ur local network to allow relaying from ur network, i.e. relayhost = 192.168.1.0
[08:15] <DSpair> For example, I would like to see the man pages for "cin", "cout", etc...
[08:15] <Sir_Sid> nickrud, I would like to change that directory to /media and place a password on it
[08:15] <nickrud> Sir_Brizz: sorry, you looking for the httpd.conf file or the location that apache servers content from?
[08:15] <dns_56> DSpair: not sure, i think it is glibc-doc or something
[08:16] <nickrud> DSpair: manpages-dev I think
[08:16] <Sir_Sid> nickrud, I am looking for the httpd.conf so I can change the directly apache serves from
[08:16] <Sir_Sid> rickrud, its just that the httpd.conf file I have now is blank
[08:17] <nickrud> Sir_Sid: its in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
[08:17] <professorsnapper> Kostkon: I'm in the sources.list, and have removed the "au." from all the URLs, but it doesn't seem to change the result.
[08:17] <Evilbadwrong> Does anyone know of a userguide for Beryl out there anywhere? The wiki page is no longer available....
[08:17] <nickrud> Sir_Sid: ubuntu has the http.conf split in to a variety of files, so other packages can drop their configs into apache easily
[08:18] <DSpair> Also, anyone know how to regenerate the "apropos" index on Ubuntu?
[08:18] <Sir_Sid> nickrud, I see
[08:18] <CorpseFeeder> Hi!!!! Can anyone suggest a good laptop to run Ubuntu on? Or tell me what model you are using...
[08:19] <DSpair> dns_56: No go one the glibc-doc. That did not install the appropriate man pages.
[08:19] <figmentj13> hi
[08:19] <matux> Does TOR works with an DSL connection?
[08:19] <Evilbadwrong> User Guide for Beryl anywhere?
[08:19] <Sir_Sid> nickrud, Thank you
[08:19] <nickrud> gateway DSpair manpages-dev
[08:19] <faileas> matux: it should
[08:20] <matux> I am asking it, 'cause I've installed TOR and configured like the tutorials says but , web sites, get my real IP
[08:20] <Darth_Gimp> Is there a way to change the opacity of folders while viewing them?
[08:20] <figmentj13> ok i really need help setting up windows mobile 5 sync, could anyone hepl me?
[08:21] <matux> I have a DSL connection with a DSL router and my public IP is configured in that router
[08:21] <Darth_Gimp> figmentj13, sorry I do not have experience with that
[08:21] <DSpair> nickrud: Nope, still no man page for "cout" or "cin"
[08:21] <professorsnapper> Kostkon: I think I might have found the prob: I'm not using a proxy, but I AM running Ubuntu in a Virtual Machine. Just got Ubuntu to see the net, and I'll try again... sorry for not checking this sooner :)
[08:21] <DSpair> nickrud: I do have man pages for the "C" headers, but not the "C++" headers.
[08:21] <dns_56> Evilbadwrong: i would use compiz instead, beryl has been discontinued and the plugins have been moved into compiz-fusion
[08:22] <kostkon> professorsnapper, ok, no prob!! I hope now you will be OK. Try it and tell me. Do a "sudo apt-get update".
[08:22] <Darth_Gimp> dns_56, compiz requires a graphics card correct?
[08:22] <matux> has anybody used TOR with a DSL connection?
[08:22] <arm-c> Hello All
[08:22] <Darth_Gimp> matux, TOR ??
[08:22] <Darth_Gimp> dns_56, compiz requires a graphics card correct?
[08:22] <matux> yes
[08:22] <faileas> its an anonymous proxy
[08:22] <figmentj13> ok how bout running apps in sudo mode?
[08:23] <faileas> matux: it should work
[08:23] <nickrud> DSpair: don't c++ ;)
[08:23] <Darth_Gimp> faileas, thanks
[08:23] <VousDeux> I don't trust those anonymous proxy tools
[08:23] <CorpseFeeder> anybody?
[08:23] <faileas> Darth_Gimp: technically quite cool actually
[08:23] <Sir_Sid> nickrud, Where can I tell it to prompt a password to acess the directory? Is there a way to do this via the apache config files?
[08:23] <Darth_Gimp> faileas, what is? Compiz?
[08:23] <nickrud> Darth_Gimp: you need a video card to see anything
[08:23] <faileas> VousDeux: this one is US navy designed IIRC. so.. its either really good, or a trap ;)
[08:23] <CorpseFeeder> does anyone know if a Dell latitude D600 is any use?
[08:24] <faileas> Darth_Gimp: TOR ;p
[08:24] <arm-c> Is there anyone that is very smart on kernel modules, how modprobe is configured to search specific sources, etc?
[08:24] <Darth_Gimp> nickrud, I have onboard gfx at the moment
[08:24] <Darth_Gimp> faileas, ahh ok
[08:24] <matux> VousDeux, so you do it old school styel
[08:24] <matux> style
[08:24] <faileas> CorpseFeeder: 'any use' - well you could ALWAYS use it for something ;p
[08:24] <Darth_Gimp> nickrud, once I have a GFX card things will be sweet
[08:24] <professorsnapper> Kostkon: I get the terminal response: "Timestamp too far in the future: Sept 10..." Will try using update mgr & see if it's any better
[08:24] <Sir_Sid> Where can I tell apache to prompt a password to acess the directory? Is there a way to do this via the apache config files?
[08:24] <CorpseFeeder> faileas: well I need an anchor for my boat
[08:25] <faileas> CorpseFeeder: ;)
[08:25] <VousDeux> I'm always sceptical when I start passing data through unknown routes...the guy on the end can always capture clear text
[08:25] <figmentj13> i want to install syncML, how do i do it?
[08:25] <nickrud> Darth_Gimp: I have onboard, (ati) and it works
[08:25] <Darth_Gimp> So is there a way to change the opacity of nautilus like you can with terminal?
[08:25] <CorpseFeeder> faileas: what about running ubuntu?
[08:25] <DSpair> nickrud: School doesn't give me much choice. Personally, I'd love to program in C for school, but they think that C is outdated . . . Jackasses!
[08:25] <ThanatosDrive> In RhythmBox, when you move songs to Trash, does it actually delete the file from your drive, or does it only remove the selection from the playlist?
[08:25] <xrxx> c#
[08:25] <Darth_Gimp> nickrud, really? don't you need 3d accel?
[08:25] <CorpseFeeder> c is outdated which is stupid cos everybody uses it
[08:26] <faileas> CorpseFeeder: it should run, donno if it can handle compiz, but if its anything within the last 6 years, it should work, degfinately
[08:26] <Flannel> Sir_Sid: using htpasswd and Basic Auth configs: http://www.colostate.edu/~ric/htpass.html  (googling for htpasswd will give you a lot of stuff)
[08:26] <Darth_Gimp> ThanatosDrive, test it
[08:26] <Sir_Sid> Thank you Flannel
[08:26] <faileas> CorpseFeeder: C is nice when you need some degree of performance, but something not too low level
[08:26] <VousDeux> if I really wanted to be anonymous for some reason, I would probably use a proxy chain, but I would never pass anything personal through it
[08:26] <ThanatosDrive>  Darth_Gimp: I was actually asking here so I wouldn't HAVE to test it, but okay.
[08:26] <faileas> there's a reason why damn near every OS is in C ;)
[08:26] <nickrud> Darth_Gimp: you have ati?
[08:26] <Darth_Gimp> let me test it for you...
[08:27] <Darth_Gimp> nickrud, I would have to check
[08:27] <xrxx> whats ubuntu? sorry for q
[08:27] <Darth_Gimp> xrxx, its a flavour of Linux
[08:27] <DSpair> Egads, I love BitTorrent. A whole season of CSI in one day... That's awesome.
[08:27] <ziroday> !ubuntu | xrxx
[08:27] <ubotu> xrxx: Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com
[08:27] <nickrud> Sir_Sid: I set a file in the directory; and for some reason I reach my server to look!
[08:27] <faileas> it is a linux distro based off debian
[08:28] <xrxx> not fan of linux based op systems
[08:28] <ThanatosDrive> Darth_Gimp: It actually deletes it from the drive.
[08:28] <TehDuffman1> Question: I had a software raid in XP on 4 harddrives. I wanted to dual boot to Ubuntu but my XP got screwed up in the process is there anyway i will be able to get that information off thoses disk, though a vm or anything else?
[08:28] <faileas> xrxx: then why are you here?
[08:28] <ziroday> !offtopic | xrxx
[08:28] <ubotu> xrxx: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[08:28] <xrxx> not sure
[08:28] <Darth_Gimp> ThanatosDrive, yep.. just tested it
[08:29] <Plantain> What's a better driver for a 9550, "ati" or "radeon"?
[08:29] <Darth_Gimp> ThanatosDrive, I usually just "remove from playlist"
[08:29] <xrxx> imo the server needs no GUI interface, winXP is fine for gui interface
[08:29] <ziroday> Plantain: well in ubuntu those are the same things
[08:29] <Darth_Gimp> ThanatosDrive, I tend to use Amarok more
[08:29] <Plantain> ziroday: What about AIGLX vs. default?
[08:29] <v1k1ng> duffman:  can't you use a live cd?
[08:30] <xrxx> i believe ati radeo lags far from nvidia
[08:30] <TehDuffman1> but the thing is its a windows XP software raid
[08:30] <TehDuffman1> i dont think linux will be able to emulate it
[08:30] <TehDuffman1> i did it through drive managament in XP
[08:30] <dns_56> TehDuffman1: perhaps, what is the exact problem, what raid type, what type of raid controler?
[08:30] <Plantain> xrxx: Their drivers lag behind, their hardware is comparable
[08:30] <ziroday> Plantain: lemme explain. "ati" in ubuntu covers both the ati open source 2d drivers and the radeon open source 3d drivers
[08:30] <Darth_Gimp> ok so no input about the opacity of folders???
[08:30] <v1k1ng> i'm not familiar with that, maybe someone else can help
[08:30] <TehDuffman1> its on a promise tk300 but it doesnt have any hardware raid did the raid through XP disk managment
[08:31] <Plantain> ziroday: Okay, so setting it to "ati" is best, or they're identical?
[08:31] <ziroday> Plantain: they use AIGLX. fglrx which is closed source developed by ati/amd needs XGL
[08:31] <xrxx> havent seen yet risc unit proc outperform intel
[08:31] <TehDuffman1> i thought i could just install VBox but it doesnt see any of the harddrives except for the one its installed on
[08:31] <ziroday> Plantain: well you really want either closed ati/amd drivers or open ati drivers
[08:31] <figmentj13> i am a noob and really just need basic help
[08:31] <Plantain> ziroday: This is PPC, so the closed source drivers are a nogo
[08:31] <Darth_Gimp> figmentj13, what did you need again?
[08:32] <ziroday> Plantain: then its ati
[08:32] <ziroday> Plantain: or radeon drivers if they are there
[08:32] <figmentj13> i want to know how to even run programs or a like explaining comand line to run programs with sudo
[08:33] <Plantain> ziroday: So they're one and the same, or not? I changed from ati to radeon 5 minutes ago
[08:33] <dns_56> If you have a spare disk drive that has enough space for your raid what i would do is image your hard drive using dd and use the linux tools, it gets hard but it is possible
[08:33] <Darth_Gimp> figmentj13, many will run by clicking their icon, much like windows
[08:33] <TehDuffman1> dd?
[08:33] <figmentj13> well i need to run a program with sudo or root
[08:33] <figmentj13> i know what that is
[08:33] <figmentj13> but how?
[08:33] <ThanatosDrive> So type in sudo [whatever] 
[08:33] <Flannel> !sudo | figmentj13
[08:33] <ubotu> figmentj13: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[08:34] <ziroday> Plantain: just go with radeon
[08:34] <figmentj13> oh ok the
[08:34] <figmentj13> |
[08:34] <Plantain> ziroday: alright then
[08:34] <Darth_Gimp> figmentj13, let's say you are running blender. You would type sudo blender
[08:34] <Plantain> thanks
[08:34] <figmentj13> is what i was missing
[08:34] <Flannel> Darth_Gimp: no, you'd use gksu blender
[08:34] <figmentj13> thanks
[08:34] <astro76> figmentj13, no, no |
[08:34] <Darth_Gimp> Flannel, thanks for the correction
[08:34] <jontec> k, so I installed postgresql-8.1 and found out that it was obselete and then removed it... now I've installed postgresql-8.2 and it's starting on the wrong port... (5433 instead of 5432, which all of the commands are expecting)... and when I attempt to remove the client (which I think is the problem) for 8.1, it's removing an application that we need (moodle)!
[08:34] <dns_56> dd, disk druid, it allows you to copy a partition to a file, dd if=/dev/hda of=file, you can perhaps then use some tools to join the images together but it gets complex
[08:35] <figmentj13> ok well the program is adept manager
[08:35] <TehDuffman1> yea i dont know its 4 500 gig harddrives
[08:35] <Darth_Gimp> Flannel, do you know if I can change the opacity of my folders? Like the home folder much like I can with Terminal?
[08:35] <TehDuffman1> i dont think can find that much space :)
[08:35] <ziroday> Darth_Gimp: with compiz?
[08:35] <bullgard4> /boot/config-2.6.20-16-generic contains a line 'CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ=y'. In a console, pressing Alt+SysRq+m produces a line '[44334.060000] SysRq : Show Memory' on my laptop computer; the cursor jumps to the beginning of the next line and stays there. How to get that memory dump on my screen?
[08:36] <Darth_Gimp> ziroday, no just Ubuntu
[08:36] <r-c> how secure is samba ?
[08:36] <dns_56> i would try and find someone that knows a lot about linux that can sit next to you, it requires a bit of knowledge and you can really mess things up
[08:36] <ziroday> Darth_Gimp: AFAIK there is no way and I strongly doubt there is
[08:36] <dns_56> if possible find a linux user group or something to help you
[08:37] <Darth_Gimp> ziroday, ok thanks.. that's what I thought.. but doesn't hurt to ask
[08:37] <bullgard4> r-c: It functions on my computer LAN reliably.
[08:37] <Flannel> Darth_Gimp: Believe you need to be using compisition
[08:37] <Sargun> hi Lakshmi
[08:37] <Lakshmi> hey
[08:37] <ziroday> Darth_Gimp: np :)
[08:37] <Darth_Gimp> Flannel, thanks
[08:37] <Lakshmi> so a lil help guys?
[08:37] <Darth_Gimp> Early start tomorrow.. night all
[08:37] <r-c> bullgard4: can it use ssh?
[08:37] <faileas> r-c: no
[08:38] <codeane> Lakshmi, whats up
[08:38] <r-c> faileas: do you think it's secure?
[08:38] <Lakshmi> sargun wants me to use ubunto
[08:39] <Lakshmi> how do i get it on my comp?
[08:39] <Flannel> !install | Lakshmi
[08:39] <ubotu> Lakshmi: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - See also !automate
[08:39] <Flannel> Lakshmi: basically, download the ISO, burn it, boot to it
[08:40] <bullgard4> Flannel: When people speak about "the ISO" they do not speak about that International Organization of Standardization but what do they speak about?
[08:41] <fatcatmatt> bullgard4: no, it's an image of a cd on your hard drive
[08:41] <astro76> bullgard4, actually that's what it means, specifically ISO 9660, cd format
[08:41] <mathnotmeth_> hey is there anyone here who could help me get my soundcard working?
[08:41] <elzbal> bullgard4: In this sense, an ISO is a file that represents the contents of a CD, which can be written directly to a burnable CD.
[08:41] <Flannel> bullgard4: a .iso file
[08:42] <fatcatmatt> i guess it is, but it's a .iso file, as flannel stated
[08:42] <B3-3> how i can change password?
[08:42] <fatcatmatt> props, flannel, i learned something new
[08:42] <B3-3> i want to change root password
[08:42] <fatcatmatt> why, B3-3
[08:43] <mathnotmeth_> hey is there anyone here who could help me get my soundcard working? i just recently installed, and it is a intel integrated
[08:43] <fatcatmatt> System > Administration > Users and Groups, B3-3
[08:43] <astro76> !root | B3-3
[08:43] <ubotu> B3-3: 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
[08:43] <dns_56> sudo passwd
[08:43] <jontec> sorry to paste again T_T: k, so I installed postgresql-8.1 and found out that it was obselete and then removed it... now I've installed postgresql-8.2 and it's starting on the wrong port... (5433 instead of 5432, which all of the commands are expecting)... and when I attempt to remove the client (which I think is the problem) for 8.1, it's removing an application that we need (moodle)!
[08:43] <B3-3> im new to ubuntu
[08:43] <mathnotmeth_> hey is there anyone here who could help me get my soundcard working? i just recently installed, and it is a intel integrated
[08:43] <fatcatmatt> it's all good, B3-3
[08:43] <Flannel> !repeat  mathnotmeth_
[08:43] <Flannel> !repeat | mathnotmeth_
[08:43] <ubotu> mathnotmeth_: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[08:43] <B3-3> well,
[08:43] <nathan___> the network icon next to the clock, how do I add that if it was removed?
[08:44] <B3-3> sorry to bother you
[08:44] <jontec> http://pastie.caboo.se/95425 shows the status
[08:44] <Flannel> B3-3: You don't need a root password.
[08:44] <B3-3> bye
[08:44] <fatcatmatt> it's okay, ask anything, B3-3
[08:44] <mathnotmeth> so no one knows?
[08:44] <bullgard4> fatcatmatt, astro76, elzbal, Flannel: Thank you very much for explaining.
[08:44] <fatcatmatt> you won't need the root password, tho.  just use the command "sudo  XPROGRAMX
[08:45] <fatcatmatt> no problem, bullgard4
[08:45] <fatcatmatt> you won't need the root password, tho.  just use the command "sudo  XPROGRAMX" B3-3
[08:45] <cdm10> I need an inexpensive laser printer that'll work fine with Linux, but I just can't find ANYTHING that'll meet my needs. Everything listed as working "perfectly" in the OpenPrinting database is either too expensive, or not manufactured any more. Can anyone help me find a good printer?
[08:45] <fatcatmatt> didnt finish the line, lol
[08:45] <bean-oh> is there a trick to getting the daap plugin working with itunes? i can see the share, but i can't get a listing
[08:45] <jontec> I guess what I'm asking is.. how can I force the removal of a package? I need to remove postgresql-8.1, but I need moodle, too.
[08:46] <julio_> hi
[08:46] <radioman__> hey
[08:46] <fatcatmatt> bean-oh: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/sound/xmms2-plugin-daap
[08:46] <fatcatmatt> hi, julio_
[08:46] <julio_> I have a question about ubuntu and thoshiba laptops
[08:46] <Flannel> jontec: You should be able to remove postgres 8.1 with keeping moodle.  Moodle depends on 8.1 client, not server.
[08:47] <fatcatmatt> just ask, julio_
[08:47] <julio_> ok i have installed on My Satellite U305 toshiba Ubuntu 7.04, but it seems that my sound card is not working
[08:47] <bean-oh> fatcatmatt, i'm using banshee, and i have the banshee-daap installed
[08:47] <julio_> how I can identify the problem
[08:48] <julio_> ?
[08:48] <professorsnapper> Kostkon: Success! I think I had to update the list of repositories, and then check for software updates - it seems to be working now. Thanks for your generous assistance :)
[08:48] <jontec> Flannel: I've uninstalled the server already, but my status http://pastie.caboo.se/95425 is still showing 8.1 as installed... I'm guessing it's because of the client, but I don't know
[08:48] <fatcatmatt> i'm looking, julio_
[08:49] <julio_> thank you, and two things more.
[08:49] <kostkon> professorsnapper, no prob! Happy that you managed to solve the problem!
[08:49] <fatcatmatt> 1 at a time, julio_
[08:49] <julio_> ohh ok
[08:49] <julio_> sorry
[08:49] <fatcatmatt> its okay
[08:49] <nathan___> the network icon next to the clock, how do I add that if it was removed?
[08:49] <Flannel> nathan___: right click the panel > add to panel
[08:50] <professorsnapper> Kostkon: "It's one small step for man..." LOL
[08:50] <fatcatmatt> julio_: do you know what kind of sound card it is, think i have found the fix
[08:50] <ProfessorTom> greets!
[08:51] <ProfessorTom> I have a question about "aptitiude search" What do the letters next to the output mean?
[08:51] <nathan___> Flannel: and then?
[08:51] <professorsnapper> ProfessorTom: greets from one professor to another...
[08:51] <julio_> let me check
[08:51] <julio_> please
[08:51] <Flannel> nathan___: uh, the applet is network manager.  Is it not in there?  (I don't use gnome, so I don't knwo specifically)
[08:51] <vovkav> hi! Is there anyone who had managed to get his ali1535 (AC'97-like) softmodem working with alsa?
[08:52] <ProfessorTom> professorsnapper...this is like deja vu. I have a friend that always goes by snapper...but I know you can't be her because she isn't tech savvy. Greets to ya mate
[08:52] <nathan___> Flannel: no it's not
[08:52] <kostkon> professorsnapper, no joke! You gained more experience with Ubuntu!
[08:53] <yujin> how to filter the system message in xchat,please?
[08:53] <ProfessorTom> Ubuntu just works right off the download. The best part is you only have to update one file in order to change options on a service
[08:53] <julio_> Realtek
[08:53] <julio_> is my sound card
[08:53] <fatcatmatt> okay
[08:53] <ProfessorTom> When using "aptitiude search" what do the letters next to the output mean?
[08:54] <professorsnapper> ProfessorTom: I'm not her, that's for sure (deepens voice).
[08:54] <ProfessorTom> ah ha!
[08:54] <ProfessorTom> "put some bass in that voice!"
[08:55] <Geoffrey2> I have a desktop with an integrated ATI PCI Express video card...I'm presuming I want to activate the ATI restricted driver?
[08:56] <Flannel> ProfessorTom: current state of package (man aptitude, read the second paragraph of the search parameter, it'll tell you all of them)
[08:56] <fatcatmatt> julio_:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3290705
[08:56] <ProfessorTom> oh yeah, another Ubuntu question. Why does Ubuntu not make the command g++ readily available instead forcing users to alias?
[08:56] <n-iCe> hii
[08:56] <ProfessorTom> thank you Flannel
[08:56] <n-iCe> what is flex ? i got this error configure: error: cannot find flex
[08:57] <fatcatmatt> julio_: think you are gonna have sound problems there...lol
[08:57] <Flannel> ProfessorTom: g++ is availble for me
[08:57] <julio_> je je je
[08:57] <Flannel> ProfessorTom: http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?searchmode=filelist&word=g%2B%2B&version=feisty&arch=i386  the g++ includes /usr/bin/g++
[08:58] <julio_> can i make my second question?
[08:58] <fatcatmatt> yup, julio_
[08:58] <robert__> yo
[08:58] <ProfessorTom> Flannel: which version of Ubuntu are you running? I was running Dapper and g++ didn't work. I had to alias to g++-4.0
[08:58] <jontec> Flannel: do you think that there would be a configuration file that I can change in order to get 8.2 mapped to the correct port? Can you think of any reason why 8.1 would still be registered?
[08:58] <Flannel> ProfessorTom: I'm on dapper, actually.
[08:58] <robert__> i'm using version 7.04 and cannot get streaming video media to work right
[08:58] <v1k1ng> can bitchx run via gui?
[08:58] <robert__> what can i do
[08:58] <bullgard4> What is an English equivalent to the German newsgroup de.comp.os.unix.linux.hardware?
[08:58] <v1k1ng> or is it terminal only
[08:58] <v1k1ng> ?
[08:58] <Flannel> ProfessorTom: do you have the g++ package installed?
[08:58] <ksathus> Hey, I have a machine with a Realtek 8185-based wireless PCI network card. The latest Ubuntu install CD doesn't detect it, but I'm finding conflicting information about there being a module for that chip with Ubuntu. Can anyone shed some light?
[08:59] <Flannel> jontec: Only thing I can think of is that the config files are causing it.  You didn't --purge when removing (or "complete removal" via synaptic)
[08:59] <ProfessorTom> Flannel yeah. I used apt and g++ workes fine, but i had to alias g++ to g++-4.0
[08:59] <julio_> how i run the 3d desktop configuration, the Beryl Manager is running, the only 3D is when i move a windows from one desktop to another, but how can I see the cube 3d from the demos :-) ?
[08:59] <fatcatmatt> ksathus:  http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-191776.html
[09:00] <fatcatmatt> click and hold your middle mouse button, julio_
[09:00] <Flannel> ProfessorTom: using apt to install g++ installs the g++ package.  Which will symlink itself
[09:00] <ksathus> Hmm, haven't seen that one yet
[09:00] <julio_> je je I don't have middle button, my slide point only have two.
[09:00] <robert__> julio-- go get compiz-config
[09:00] <fatcatmatt> no scroll wheel, julio_?

[09:01] <fatcatmatt> sol...better get one, julio_
[09:01] <ProfessorTom> Flannel when I run "whereis g++" I get "g++:" but when i run "whereis g++-4.0" i get "g++-4: /usr/bin/g++-4.0 /usr/bin/X11/g++-4.0"
[09:01] <fatcatmatt> julio_: sudo apt-get install compiz-config
[09:02] <fatcatmatt> what's your last question, julio_?
[09:02] <ProfessorTom> Flannel: I'm cool with how things are set up now, i just didn't understand why I didn't have g++ installed to begin with but I had gcc
[09:03] <mathnotmeth> can anyone help me with an integrated intel sound card?

[09:03] <julio_> E: Couldn't find package compiz.config
[09:03] <Flannel> ProfessorTom: Right, g++ is always a symlink.  You didn't have it installed by default because ubuntu doesn't include most compilers by default.  gcc was insalled, because, well, it is.  But not many, if any, C headers or anything.  It's... well, I don't really remember the reason why it's installed by default.  But ubuntu doesn't include a compiler by default

[09:09] <ompaul> n-iCe, so how did you get to be root?
[09:09] <slimjimm1> n-iCe: or 'sudo exit'
[09:09] <fatcatmatt> no clue there, mathnotmeth
[09:09] <n-iCe> nope
[09:09] <mathnotmeth> hmm
[09:09] <Alienation> I have a problem installing: everything works up until "85% Installed php5-mysql", and it freezes indefinitely.
[09:09] <mathnotmeth> anyone who might know that i could pm?
[09:09] <n-iCe> i'll reboot

[09:11] <jontec> Flannel: so, then would apt-get install postgresql-8.1; apt-get remove --purge postgresql-8.1 work? or would that put me in for a world of hurt? can I purge without the package being installed?
[09:11] <fatcatmatt> no more questions?

[09:11] <kdchapman1776> I need some help with connecting wirelessly.  I am a noob but I think have things configured close to right.  I have a linksys WPC54G card configured to use ndiswrapper.  I can see the wlan0 adapter and had trouble with dhcp so decided to go static IP.  I am still having trouble connecting to my router.  I need some help.
[09:11] <julio_> thank, find it
[09:11] <ProfessorTom> n-iCe or simply shutdown -h
[09:12] <slimjimm1> mathnotmeth: it could be that your sound card is disabled in the BIOS

[09:12] <mathnotmeth> i just installed ubuntu like 3 days ago

[09:14] <slimjimm1> mathnotmeth: go into your BIOS by hitting the del key while the computer powers up
[09:14] <CoasterMaster> murlidhar: do you have gcc installed?
[09:14] <murlidhar> yes
[09:14] <murlidhar> have it installed
[09:14] <ompaul> murlidhar, and dont repeat we saw it the first time - do this -- sudo apt-get install build-essential
[09:14] <ProfessorTom> murlidhar what about g++?
[09:14] <CoasterMaster> murlidhar: did you grab the build-essential package?
[09:15] <mathnotmeth> and then what would i do?
[09:15] <slimjimm1> mathnotmeth: and fumble through the settings until you possibly find one that says 'on-board audio'
[09:15] <slimjimm1> it's happened to me before
[09:15] <murlidhar> will check that
[09:15] <BBking> Does somebody have the standard settings for Beryl?
[09:15] <ompaul> BBking, #ubuntu-effects
[09:15] <nathan___> BBking: yes, you do
[09:16] <nathan___> BBking: click the little brooms =] 
[09:16] <fatcatmatt> BBking: try uninstalling it and re-install it
[09:16] <ProfessorTom> Flannel: is automake installed by default with Dapper?
[09:16] <murlidhar> k i don't have build-essential installed and am downloading that right now and chck again
[09:16] <rabidsnail> I just did a server install on a via c3 box, and it installed a kernel that uses instructions my kernel doesn't support. How do I install linux-i386 (a kernel that should work) without having a bootable install?
[09:17] <BBking> nathan__, little brooms?
[09:17] <Flannel> ProfessorTom: probably not.  Nope.
[09:17] <ProfessorTom> ha!
[09:17] <rabidsnail> instructions my processor doesn't support, sorry
[09:17] <mathnotmeth> thanks slim
[09:17] <slimjimm1> did it work?
[09:18] <Flannel> ProfessorTom: If you install build-essential, all those goodies get installed though
[09:18] <whalesalad> how do you change a hostname on an ubuntu server and have it remain the same even after reboot?
[09:18] <fatcatmatt> julio_:  how's things going for ya?
[09:18] <kdchapman1776> fatcatmatt - I sent you a msg.  My nic is on wlan0.
[09:19] <fatcatmatt> oh, never saw it, kdchapman1776
[09:19] <ProfessorTom> Flannel: really? I was going to install the pacakges via "apt-get" but hell...
[09:19] <ProfessorTom> so "sudo apt-get build-essential" then, eh?
[09:19] <Flannel> ProfessorTom: sudo apt-get install build-essential, but yeah
[09:19] <julio_> so far so god
[09:19] <rabidsnail> Is it possible to apt-get from the text installer?
[09:19] <julio_> good
[09:19] <julio_> sorry
[09:20] <ompaul> rabidsnail, not really achievable easiest is to restart and let it choose its own kernel - I had a via c3 and it choose the right one
[09:20] <julio_> :-)
[09:20] <fatcatmatt> good, julio_
[09:20] <n-iCe> hot is to tar.gz ?
[09:20] <n-iCe> tar -xfzv ?
[09:20] <n-iCe> or how ?

[09:21] <rabidsnail> ompaul:it only installed the server kernel, which is i686 and does not boot
[09:21] <kdchapman1776> fatcatmatt - let me check it out.  I will get back to you in a little bit.  Thanks.

[09:25] <madrazr> hi all, I want a small help on kernel building, not a common one though
[09:25] <fatcatmatt> yup
[09:25] <madrazr> I have a tool called NCTUns, its a network Simulator and Emulator. It works only on Fedora 7. When I read its documentation, it said it might work on other distros with similarly patched kernel, but not assured.
[09:25] <madrazr>  So I though of building and installing the Fedora 7 Kernel and I grabbed the .src.rpm of the kernel 2.6.21-1.3194, the one which fedora uses and also extracted it using rpm command on Ubuntu, and according to fedora I have to use rpmbuild command to build the binaries but when I run that it asks me to install few packages
[09:25] <mattva01|sleep> sorry !
[09:26] <madrazr> can some one tell me how to build the package??
[09:26] <Moniker42> how do i set different backgrounds on different desktops?
[09:26] <jontec> Flannel: I ended up having to reinstall 8.1 and purge (simply remove + purge didn't work) and remove + purge 8.2-server and postgresql-common... thanks for cluing me in on the purge option, it would have never worked without it
[09:26] <ompaul> !nickspam > ARitualSacrifice
[09:26] <bean-oh> is there a trick to getting the daap plugin for banshee working with itunes? i can see the share, but i can't get a listing
[09:27] <fatcatmatt> bean-oh:  that didn't work what i sent you?
[09:27] <ARitualSacrifice> ...
[09:27] <ARitualSacrifice> i didnt spam
[09:27] <ompaul> you changed nick ....
[09:27] <ionstorm> I have a Pentium 4 Hyperthreaded kernel, and I need to know how to turn it on
[09:27] <bean-oh> fatcatmatt, i responded, i'm not using xmms, i want to use banshee
[09:27] <rockets> anybody know what this means? /bin/dd bs 1 if /proc/kmsg of /var/run/klogd/kmsg
[09:27] <fatcatmatt> oh, sry
[09:27] <fatcatmatt> hold on, bean-oh
[09:27] <ARitualSacrifice> thats cause the one i was useing was regged to someone else
[09:28] <murlidhar> ompaul  i am tryin to install tranmission from a source file it says it couldn't find the package called libevent .
[09:28] <madrazr> Can some one help me in building the fedora patched kernel on Ubuntu plz?????
[09:28] <fatcatmatt> bean-oh: try this one  http://banshee-project.org/Releases/0.10.4
[09:28] <ompaul> madrazr, not when it needs a dev kernel that is not in the release of ubuntu yet
[09:28] <murlidhar> when i give the command to install libevent it says couldn't find the package
[09:29] <madrazr> ompaul: I did not get u??
[09:29] <bean-oh> fatcatmatt, what about that? thats more than a year old. i'm running banshee 0.12.1
[09:30] <ompaul> murlidhar, so the bottom line is that you need to start searching synaptic for these libraries
[09:30] <ProfessorTom> murlidhar: try sudo apt-get install libevent1
[09:30] <madrazr> ompaul: can u plz explain me correctly?
[09:30] <n-iCe> how do i search for a file?
[09:30] <fatcatmatt> you check google then, bean-oh
[09:30] <XamDM> sometimes my 2 TV-cards get switched, so /dev/video1 is /dev/video0 thats anoying in some applications, is it possible to force a card to a specific device ???
[09:30] <bean-oh> fatcatmatt, of course. tried that first.
[09:31] <ProfessorTom> n-iCe you would use the find command. e.x. "find /tmp -name partOfFileName"
[09:31] <dns_56> yes but you may need to mess with udev to ensure the mapping is correct
[09:31] <murlidhar> ok done since this is the first time i have a compiled can anybody help me how to run transmission
[09:31] <murlidhar> i can't find it in applications
[09:31] <gumby11> n-iCe: grep?

[09:32] <ompaul> madrazr, I did, you will not get help in this channel with development level kernels that are not in the released version of ubuntu - you might want to start with gutsy and see if it compiles on it, however be aware that brings risks of software not working as it is a beta of the next release
[09:32] <ProfessorTom> nice nick livingdaylight
[09:32] <n-iCe> and with ls , how can i see al lthe hide directories files
[09:33] <ProfessorTom> n-iCe ls -a
[09:33] <bean-oh> fatcatmatt, i'm not looking for a download, the plugin is in the repository, i have it installed, i'm trying to see if anyone has it working
[09:33] <livingdaylight> ProfessorTom, thanks ^^
[09:33] <ProfessorTom> livingdaylight yw
[09:33] <fatcatmatt> bean-oh: doesn't it work for you?
[09:33] <ompaul> murlidhar, did you read this guys site: http://transmission.m0k.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1506
[09:33] <ProfessorTom> I could never get Pidign to work on Dapper, so don't feel bad
[09:34] <bean-oh> fatcatmatt, did you read my initial question? it sees the itunes shares, but it does not load the list of songs.
[09:34] <madrazr> ompaul: Where can I get info abt the development level kernels?? I am still not understanding how this kernel will be a development level kernel when it is already outdated
[09:35] <Frogzoo> anyone familiar with osd_clock? (displays time as an on screen display/no window) - putting it in gnome sessions, it comes up on login, but then is obscured when gnome starts up - any ideas?
[09:35] <fatcatmatt> im gonna install it and see if i can see shares
[09:36] <murlidhar> thanks ompaul but for the sake of learning i would like to compile not i have don't have  a binary package
[09:36] <ompaul> madrazr, read these urls:  http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases  http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases  they may help you understand - we don't run the latest we run the stable and patch for stability
[09:36] <KiphereCE_> so umm.. can I move a swap file partition while I'm still actively in the recovery console?
[09:36] <ionstorm> I have  P4 Hyperthread cpu, how do I find out if Ubuntu is running both CPU's and what can I do to enable it if it isnt, process manager does not show 2 cpu's only 1
[09:36] <KiphereCE_> I apparently jacked something up when making the partitions.
[09:37] <murlidhar> ompaul: i have compiled successfully the program but now i dunno how to run it .
[09:37] <astro76> ionstorm, it should show in system>administration>system monitor, Resources tab
[09:37] <KiphereCE_> cause my linux and swap are at the end of the disk and there's not enough room.
[09:37] <ProfessorTom> KiphereCE_ did you just install?
[09:37] <ionstorm> astro76, it only shows 1 cpu
[09:37] <ompaul> murlidhar, so type the program name or ./programname and maybe it works
[09:37] <KiphereCE_> yeah, from an iso using the grub thing
[09:37] <onats> im having a problem using azureus. what other bit torrent clients can you guys suggest?
[09:37] <fatcatmatt> bean-oh: did u add the share plug-in?
[09:37] <astro76> ionstorm, my P4 HT shows CPU1 and CPU2 there
[09:37] <ompaul> murlidhar, depends on where it is isnstalled /built
[09:38] <ionstorm> it seems Hyperthreading is disabled on my HT processor, how do I set it
[09:38] <bean-oh> fatcatmatt, that is the plugin.
[09:38] <Moniker42> how do i set different backgrounds on different desktops?
[09:38] <ProfessorTom> KiphereCE_ so like if you had to, you could reinstall and redo the partitions, right?
[09:38] <astro76> ionstorm, in the bios
[09:38] <ionstorm> astro76,  not mine
[09:38] <KiphereCE_> maybe?
[09:38] <fatcatmatt> mine shows shares and songs, bean-oh
[09:38] <Frogzoo> KiphereCE_: sudo swapoff, sudo swapon - easy, just don't be using a lot of memory when you swapoff
[09:38] <ionstorm> hyperthreading is set
[09:38] <bean-oh> what version of itunes?
[09:38] <KiphereCE_> frog, I'm a linux newb :p
[09:38] <Frogzoo> Moniker42: you don't, can't be done
[09:38] <kdchapman1776> fatcatmatt - I have not read all this post yet but I have the driver loaded with ndiswrapper.  I am able to iwscan and see my router.  When I try to connect to it is where I get problems.  It doesn't seem to want to talk to it.  Any ideas or should I scrap everything and try again?  If I scrap everything...what do I nuke?
[09:39] <Moniker42> Frogzoo, yes it can... i've done it before i just can't remember how
[09:39] <ionstorm> i'll brb reboot
[09:39] <KiphereCE_> right now I have some unpartitioned space at the beginning of the disk, my logical drive is near the end and my linux partition is at the very end.
[09:39] <n-iCe> How do i go to $home ?
[09:39] <Frogzoo> KiphereCE_: use 'sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda' to find out which is your swap part'n, then 'sudo swapoff /dev/sda#'
[09:39] <livingdaylight> ping nickrud
[09:39] <fatcatmatt> lol kdchapman, do you have a pretty fresh install?
[09:39] <KiphereCE_> swap is hdb5
[09:40] <bullgard4> How can I determine my current loglevel?
[09:40] <KiphereCE_> once its off I can move it though?
[09:40] <Frogzoo> bullgard4: runlevel
[09:40] <Frogzoo> bullgard4: it will be 2
[09:40] <ProfessorTom> KiphereCE_: honestly, if I were you, I'd just reinstall and pay really close attention to where I put the partitions this time around. I mean, it's not like you're going to loose anything
[09:41] <bullgard4> Frogzoo: Please be more verbose: Are loglevel and runlevel identical terms?
[09:41] <bean-oh> fatcatmatt, what version of itunes?
[09:41] <fatcatmatt> lol kdchapman1772, do you have a pretty fresh install?
[09:42] <fatcatmatt> same thing u got, bean-oh, banshee 0.12.1
[09:42] <Frogzoo> bullgard4: loglevel is a syslog thing, and is set by the app'n
[09:42] <bean-oh> fatcatmatt, what version of *itunes*?
[09:42] <KiphereCE_> hrm, I can't resize my primary parition without unmounting it, that's going to make this a lot harder :P
[09:42] <KiphereCE_> I can't log in cause my linux partition is too small and at the end of the disk heh
[09:42] <livingdaylight> hello
[09:42] <kdchapman1776> fatcatmatt - yes.  my story quickly is I had an Edgy kubuntu with a Cisco card that I upgraded to Feisty.  Then I screwed with things and no wireless worked again.  So I reloaded to Feisty Ubuntu and could not get the cisco card working and Ubuntu taxed my laptop.  So I have decided to try gutsy Xubuntu and the cisco still would not work so I have been fighting this damned linksys card. I am close....so close.  It frustrates.
[09:42] <KiphereCE_> and I think with the partitioning I've done I ate my windows.
[09:42] <bullgard4> Frogzoo: Thank you forexplaining.
[09:43] <Frogzoo> bullgard4: ooohh... there is a loglevel that determines what level logging gets set to console iirc
[09:43] <livingdaylight> guys... is anyone familiar with this page of psychocats? http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome
[09:43] <ProfessorTom> KiphereCE_, I'm still voting on a reinstall of the OS and repartitioning.
[09:43] <fatcatmatt> easy way, kdchapman1772, get a linksys card
[09:43] <livingdaylight> I've pretty much followed the process to the end, except for removing backup.. but i'm not sure whether i'm operating from Ubuntu or from external usb hard drive
[09:43] <KiphereCE_> the problem is I installed by using grub from the iso on my windows.
[09:44] <KiphereCE_> I think I just ate windows with the partitioning junk I've been doing :p
[09:44] <KiphereCE_> I don't have a CD
[09:44] <kdchapman1776> fatcatmatt - I have an linksys card.

[09:45] <fatcatmatt> umm...try a clean install of ubuntu at a last resort.  wouldn't know what to get rid of and start over
[09:45] <kdchapman1776> Fatcatmatt - the linksys is the card I am currently trying to configure. I will say that I feel the network manager gui tool is a useless....
[09:45] <ProfessorTom> KiphereCE_ do you have a second machine that you could download the iso with and burn off?
[09:45] <kdchapman1776> I am getting farther using the terminal commands.
[09:45] <fatcatmatt> probably is, kdchapman1772
[09:46] <ProfessorTom> KiphereCE_ or for that matter, is there enough room on your current partions to log in and download the iso?

[09:46] <t94xr> anyone able to help?
[09:46] <kdchapman1776> fatcatmatt - here is a question...does the ifup and ifdown commands cease to work when you use ndiswrapper?
[09:46] <julio_> i tried the link, with the command "aplay -l"
[09:47] <julio_> and that returns Intel [HDA Intel]

[09:47] <ProfessorTom> KiphereCE_ what version of Ubuntu did you install?
[09:48] <KiphereCE_> umm
[09:48] <KiphereCE_> 7.0.4?
[09:48] <KiphereCE_> I think
[09:48] <pillowpants> not with nano, but the text mode edit
[09:48] <A[D] minS> this file not found so it cause fail of installation
[09:48] <bean-oh> kdchapman1776, you probably need to build a better driver for your card. like madwifi or other related projects.
[09:48] <fatcatmatt> unsure, kdchapman1772
[09:48] <KiphereCE_> I used the iso/grub thing from here. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows
[09:48] <ionstorm> good evening all
[09:48] <KiphereCE_> pretty sure I just borked everything anyway jacking with the partitions.
[09:48] <fatcatmatt> evenin, ionstorm...well here...good mornin!
[09:49] <KiphereCE_> I was hoping I could extend the linux partition by killing stuff in front of it and moving the swap file.
[09:49] <astro76> A[D] minS, use this instead http://ubuntu.cafuego.net/dists/feisty-cafuego/bcm43xx/
[09:49] <ProfessorTom> KiphereCE_ when do you need the machine up and running?
[09:49] <A[D] minS> astro76 thx
[09:49] <KiphereCE_> it wont let me extend the linux partition while its mounted and I can't unmount it since its what I'm working in.
[09:49] <ProfessorTom> KiphereCE_ right
[09:49] <KiphereCE_> I dont' "need" it at all Professor, I'm just setting up my spare box with something other than windows so I can learn
[09:49] <ionstorm> I have a P4 Hyperthread 3.0 ghz with 2.6.20-16-generic #2 SMP kernel, when I enable hyperthread in my bios, ubuntu refuses to boot, do I need to download a special kernel or set a setting for it to boot properly?
[09:50] <kdchapman1776> bean-oh - does madwifi work with a linksys wpc54g v2?  That you know of right off hand.
[09:50] <ionstorm> what exactly happens is, it reboots during boot
[09:50] <ionstorm> constantly
[09:50] <ProfessorTom> KiphereCE_ you can always request a CD from Cannonical. It's free
[09:50] <KiphereCE_> meh, I'll just go to a friends house tomorrow and burn it.
[09:50] <ionstorm> and does not enter the os after I set hyperthread in the kernel
[09:50] <ProfessorTom> KiphereCE_ friends are good too!
[09:50] <KiphereCE_> if my USB wasn't busted on that machine too I'd just use my thumbdrive
[09:50] <ionstorm> could this be a bug or a configuration issue
[09:51] <ProfessorTom> KiphereCE_ maybe you need to go to the computer store tomorrow instead of your friend's place eh? LOL ;) :D
[09:51] <ionstorm> or doesnt ubuntu support hyperthreading? i will post anything via pastbin as needed, any help will be appreciated
[09:51] <KiphereCE_> this machine is a frankenstein.
[09:51] <bean-oh> kdchapman1776, offhand, no. but i'd google your model, and see if there are any projects that support it
[09:51] <ionstorm> ;] 
[09:52] <bean-oh> kdchapman1776, could be the default ubuntu driver doesn't really work with it correctly.
[09:52] <KiphereCE_> I'm loading ubuntu on it to play with, going to set up remote desktop for it and basically use it as a file/media server and toy box to refresh my memory on linux.
[09:52] <KiphereCE_> last time I touched a non windows computer was redhat6 and I was horrible with it then
[09:52] <faileas> hehe
[09:52] <fatcatmatt> KiphereCE_: search for a torrent
[09:52] <livingdaylight> guys... is anyone familiar with this page of psychocats? http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome
[09:52] <ProfessorTom> KiphereCE_ I remember well the days of RedHat 6
[09:52] <livingdaylight> I've pretty much followed the process to the end, except for removing backup.. but i'm not sure whether i'm operating from Ubuntu or from external usb hard drive
[09:53] <kdchapman1776> bean-oh - I will do that.  I am real close to getting things going with the ndiswrapper.  I just cannot get the card to talk to the router.  it scans and sees it.  it just will not actually connect to it.
[09:53] <faileas> KiphereCE_: might i recommend vmware on windows till you get your feet wet? ;)
[09:53] <KiphereCE_> I'm not wholly unfamiliar with linux, a lot of my network hardware runs bastardized versions of FreeBSD and other flavors
[09:53] <ProfessorTom> KiphereCE_: I did just that. My little Celeron Ubuntu box is a print server, a file server, a web server and an SSH server.
[09:53] <bean-oh> kdchapman1776, i've had my bouts with that before, tricky stuff when it doesn't work right off the bat
[09:53] <KiphereCE_> just not used to it as a computer operating system. I can get by I'm sure :)
[09:53] <kdchapman1776> fatcatmatt - I appreciate the link you gave me.  I will read it and work some more on this tomorrow.
[09:54] <zippyy> anyone familiar with the TLS bug in aMSN ?
[09:54] <fatcatmatt> good night's sleep always helps me, kdchapman1776
[09:54] <ProfessorTom> KiphereCE_: have you googled to see if you can install Ubuntu straight off the internet?
[09:54] <kdchapman1776> bean-oh....I understand.  and the frustrating part is knowing you are close....but so far.
[09:54] <KiphereCE_> anyway, thanks for the info. I'll be back tomorrow with a CD in hand and hopefully a success story instead of a slew of questions.
[09:54] <ProfessorTom> KiphereCE_ don't be afraid to ask questions. That's what we're here for
[09:54] <KiphereCE_> Prof: there's a way but I killed my chances by killing the windows installation. :)
[09:54] <ProfessorTom> kdchapman1776: no shit!
[09:54] <kdchapman1776> fatcatmatt....been telling myself that for a week now....:)
[09:55] <bean-oh> kdchapman1776, in my experience those linksys cards are pretty much crap. probably better off getting something more compatable if possible (unless you don't have a choice)
[09:55] <faileas> KiphereCE_: there might be a way to fix that. there's an app called testdisk that i use when drives get ****ed
[09:55] <pillowpants> how do i fix screen resolution?
[09:55] <ionstorm> I have a P4 Hyperthread 3.0 ghz with 2.6.20-16-generic #2 SMP kernel, when I enable hyperthread in my bios, ubuntu refuses to boot, do I need to download a special kernel or set a setting for it to boot properly?  Is this a bug? Or a setting issue?
[09:56] <pillowpants> the x11.conf thing
[09:56] <pillowpants> its like dpkg something

[09:56] <julio_> sorry
[09:56] <kdchapman1776> Bean-oh - The thought has crossed my mind.  What do you suggest that is relatively cheap...or do you get what you pay for times ten in the linux world.
[09:56] <julio_> i will try fedora
[09:56] <julio_> bye
[09:57] <julio_> everyone
[09:57] <preaction> julio_, think what you will, good luck
[09:57] <ionstorm> preaction, thankyou for the explaination
[09:57] <julio_> no no
[09:57] <faileas> eheh
[09:57] <julio_> i mean
[09:57] <faileas> last time i tried fedora..
[09:57] <faileas> it didn't even boot
[09:57] <preaction> julio_, it works for us. and stop using "enter" as your only means of punctuation
[09:57] <julio_> ohh
[09:57] <ionstorm> preaction, you seem very smart, can you help me?
[09:57] <ProfessorTom> I love Red Hat/Fedora to death, but I find it unusable and confusing

[09:58] <julio_> the other thing it will be wait, i'll wait for the next version, probably my sound it will recognize
[09:58] <ProfessorTom> as a friend of mine said regarding Fedora/Red Hat "They have found a lot of solutions in search of problems"

[09:59] <ionstorm> Frogzoo, I had it disabled in my bios
[09:59] <ionstorm> then when I enable it, I cant boot
[09:59] <julio_> bye
[09:59] <ProfessorTom> ionstorm: I would imagine that would be the case because the kernel that is trying to load was not meant for hyperthreading
[10:00] <ionstorm> Linux ion 2.6.20-16-generic #2 SMP Fri Aug 31 00:55:27 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
[10:00] <ProfessorTom> ionstorm: which I guess you've figued that part out by now
[10:00] <ionstorm> does this hyperthread?
[10:00] <Frogzoo> ProfessorTom: smp is enabled in the default kernel
[10:00] <Frogzoo> ionstorm: how far does booting get?
[10:00] <ionstorm> not even 2 seconds in
[10:01] <kdchapman1776> Bean-oh - thanks for the suggestions.  I will play with this a little more and consider another wireless card.
[10:01] <ionstorm> doesnt give a log
[10:01] <bean-oh> kdchapman1776, the prism chipset is the most linux friendly, most supported. lots of vanilla brands have them. just find a card in your pricerange
[10:01] <ProfessorTom> Frogzoo: do you think it's loading a bad driver or something?
[10:01] <ionstorm> no error, it just continually reboots
[10:01] <Frogzoo> ProfessorTom: I'm more inclined to think it's a bios problem
[10:01] <bean-oh> kdchapman1776, np
[10:01] <Frogzoo> ionstorm: have you flashed your bios to latest?
[10:01] <ProfessorTom> Frogzoo: makes sense
[10:01] <kdchapman1776> Thanks Bean-oh.  You have a good night or day....whatever the case may be.
[10:01] <ionstorm> Frogzoo, no, i have a dell dimension 3000 and dont know how with ubuntu
[10:02] <johndarc> Hi

[10:12] <ProfessorTom> keep up the good work
[10:12] <fatcatmatt> onats:  should come up mounted on your desktop, right-click it and see, otherwise use gparted
[10:12] <faileas> mainly cause i got some damn wierd flaky hardware that won't work in ubuntu ;p
[10:13] <onats> fatcatmatt, its on the desktop, but no format option

[10:13] <ProfessorTom> fatcatmatt: your gf left you because of Vista?

[10:15] <fatcatmatt> bossman calls me Fat Cat Matt
[10:15] <onats> fatcatmatt, what do you do?
[10:15] <fatcatmatt> I am a courier.  http://www.ondemandcourier.com i believe is the site
[10:16] <fatcatmatt> i drive titles and loan docs around the phoenix metro all day long :)  best job in the world
[10:16] <onats> gee
[10:17] <faileas> you drive on train tracks? ;p
[10:17] <Frogzoo> whalesalad: esc x python-mode - should happen automatically as you open python code
[10:17] <fatcatmatt> nope.  metro = metropolitan...the whole area
[10:17] <qwehnce> when switching from ubuntu-desktop to kubuntu-desktop, is there a way to remove all the deps of ubuntu-desktop?
[10:18] <whalesalad> Frogzoo: that isn't working :/
[10:18] <ompaul> !offtopic
[10:18] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[10:18] <fatcatmatt> do we have some dumb people in the room or did the smart people all die???
[10:18] <fatcatmatt> ohhhhh
[10:18] <ProfessorTom> fatcatmatt: what do you mean?
[10:18] <TTilus> qwehnce: just remove ubuntu-desktop and all the automatic dependences of it are removed
[10:19] <SuperLag> Have you guys had good luck with any particular model of webcams?
[10:19] <fatcatmatt> well, professortom, who in god's name drives a car on the railroad tracks?
[10:19] <ompaul> TTilus, wrong, it is a meta package
[10:19] <ProfessorTom> fatcatmatt: WTF?
[10:19] <faileas> fatcatmatt: its a joke, metro= subway in a lot of places
[10:19] <TTilus> qwehnce: ah, sry, ompaul had it correct
[10:19] <qwehnce> TTilus: no it removes the meta file, but leaves all of the deps
[10:19] <Frogzoo> whalesalad: probly you need install python-mode
[10:20] <fatcatmatt> professortom:  <faileas> you drive on train tracks? ;p
[10:20] <whalesalad> frogzoo: what's the command for that?
[10:20] <ompaul> qwehnce, apt-cache show ubuntu-desktop and then you can try to pick out what is below that - you could apt-get remove --purge gnome and that would kill a lot of stuff
[10:20] <Ahadiel> Night guys.
[10:20] <qwehnce> ompaul: thanks
[10:20] <ompaul> qwehnce, to be "pure" a reinstall is needed

[10:21] <fatcatmatt> ompaul: oh, i'm sorry.  i will stick to topic from now on, please don't ban me :( ROFL
[10:21] <A[D] minS> The problem is "--12:20:50--  http://boredklink.googlepages.com/wl_apsta.o" This file not found so what i have to do to install bcm43xx on fiesty !!
[10:21] <astro76> A[D] minS, you don't need the fwcutter with that, what is saying you need fwcutter?
[10:21] <ompaul> qwehnce, but saving space and kde are not hand in hand that is xubuntu to be honest
[10:21] <TTilus> qwehnce: i cant figure out any better way than launch aptitude, view ubuntu-desktop package dep list and remove/purge them and check every time it doesnt require to remove kubuntu- ... cumbersome, but should work
[10:21] <neol> how do i change the permission of an files & folder wont by root to narmal user ?? :)
[10:22] <A[D] minS> astro76 ok so what i have to do after install bcm43xx-firmware_1.3-1ubuntu2_all.deb
[10:22] <neol> how do change the permission of files & folder owned by root to normal user ??
[10:22] <qwehnce> ompaul: i just dont want two DE's on my system
[10:22] <faileas> neol: look up chmod
[10:22] <TTilus> neol: i feel like you want to change _owner_ of the file
[10:22] <faileas> and ask once and wait, please neol. repeating a question is damn annoying
[10:23] <Tripokey> sudo chown username:usergroup filename
[10:23] <TTilus> neol: sudo chown theuseryouwant thefiles
[10:23] <askand> can i somehow rebuild /var/lib/dpkg/available?
[10:23] <astro76> A[D] minS, nothing, that is supposed to install the firmware to /lib/firmware (which is what fwcutter does after it extracts it from that file)
[10:23] <neol> faileas: i did mistake while typing no retyped it.
[10:23] <ompaul> qwehnce, so just install xubuntu if you want space
[10:23] <neol> TTilus: how exactly i need full format/ command.
[10:24] <A[D] minS> astro76: ok i will try to use wifi now
[10:24] <neol> neol: i tried chmod but i dint work out, may be some work syntax.
[10:24] <Tripokey> you should use chown
[10:24] <neol> TTilus: i tried chmod but i dint work out, may be some work syntax.

[10:26] <jzl_> Hello, can someone tell me how to execute a script.sh file by calling the terminal executable?
[10:26] <TTilus> neol: you might want to read unix file permissions tutoria/primer or like
[10:26] <ompaul> Tsukasa, that is your bios not a ubuntu question, ask the maker of the bios - most likely it will but it does not hurt to ask
[10:26] <fatcatmatt> ompaul:  OP ME!
[10:27] <Tsukasa> ompaul, okay. one more question, how hard is it to install ubuntu on a raided drive
[10:27] <whalesalad> Why is emacs python-mode, apt-get install python-mode. how generic and lame.
[10:27] <ompaul> Tsukasa, I have not had problems with my 5 different raided servers
[10:27] <Tsukasa> okay, cool
[10:27] <Tsukasa> thanks
[10:28] <neol> TTilus: i'm now able to access the folder, but still i can see that "Lock icon " on folder, why is that so. ?
[10:28] <ompaul> Tsukasa, they are all a year or tthree old

[10:28] <TTilus> neol: cause it IS locked  ;)
[10:29] <TTilus> neol: just read and understand, then you'll probably know  :)

[10:30] <fivetwentysix> I get a soft CPU lockup or whatever
[10:30] <TTilus> neol: if you want to write to folder you need either own the folder and have rwx for owner, or belong to group which the folder belongs to and have rwx for group or have rwx for world (other) for the folder
[10:33] <TheZanke> How hard is python to learn?
[10:33] <askand> can i somehow rebuild /var/lib/dpkg/available?
[10:33] <TheZanke> because the O'Reilly Programming Python, 3rd Edition is decently vague so far
[10:33] <TTilus> TheZanke: 42
[10:34] <fivetwentysix> Learning programming languages is a slow process.
[10:34] <TTilus> TheZanke: exactly
[10:34] <ompaul> TheZanke, length of a piece of string, and learning python might be a better book
[10:34] <TheZanke> Well, I have learned like some perl and i took C++ in school
[10:34] <fivetwentysix> You have to constantly do the same things over again and learn every detail about it to actually come to a clear understanding of how everything works.
[10:34] <TTilus> TheZanke: can you _program_?
[10:34] <Tripokey> TheZanke: http://docs.python.org/tut/tut.html if you are already familiar with programming it will take 1-3 days
[10:35] <TTilus> TheZanke: to what level you want to learn python?  what do you wanna do with it?
[10:35] <TheZanke> i noticed ##python is empty... i was shocked
[10:35] <TTilus> TheZanke: check python.org to see where they have channels
[10:35] <ompaul> TheZanke, there is a #python
[10:36] <TTilus> TheZanke: and you might wanna try #python instead of ##python  ;)
[10:36] <fivetwentysix> You have to be registered to go into #python
[10:36] <TheZanke> Oh, hey... there they are!
[10:38] <askand> can i somehow rebuild /var/lib/dpkg/available?
[10:38] <goodguest> ubuntu is not bad
[10:39] <Roham> Hi, my laptop does not show the DNS in the network or at the router... what can be wrong? I can only type in the ip to connect to the computer...
[10:40] <Enselic> Roham: what does  cat /etc/resolv.conf  give you?
[10:40] <n-iCe> how can i mnow my ip
[10:40] <Enselic> n-iCe: ifconfig
[10:41] <n-iCe> bcast or inet addr ?
[10:41] <Enselic> n-iCe: same
[10:42] <Psychomethod> hey guys i just used the sudo tiger command, i got a security report, something bothers me though
[10:42] <Psychomethod> --WARN-- [boot02]  The configuration file /boot/grub/menu.lst has group
[10:42] <Psychomethod>          permissions. Should be 0600
[10:42] <Psychomethod> that ^^
[10:42] <Psychomethod> can someone please explain to me what this means, and how to fix it please?
[10:43] <Enselic> Psychomethod: it comlains about the permissions about the file
[10:43] <Enselic> Psychomethod: that more users than root can edit it
[10:43] <Psychomethod> should i be worried, or should i just ignore it?
[10:43] <Enselic> Psychomethod: well, the warning is there for a reason :)
[10:44] <defrysk> it has to do with sudo i guess
[10:44] <Psychomethod> ok, how do i set the permission for it? do i use chmod 0700 /boot/grub ?
[10:44] <Psychomethod> sorr *0600
[10:44] <Amaranth> Psychomethod: sudo chmod 0600 /boot/grub/menu.lst
[10:44] <Psychomethod> ah ok, ty
[10:44] <defrysk> to be able to edit it you need sudo
[10:44] <esteth> How do i remove a program from the ones that start at login, but from the terminal?
[10:44] <Enselic> Psychomethod: my menu.lst does not have 600 permissions
[10:44] <Enselic> and what I have is the Ubuntu default
[10:44] <binanet> Psychomethod : check you /boot/gerub/menu.lst properties
[10:44] <TTilus> Psychomethod: you should be worried if the file is editable by somebody else than root _or_ if its readable by somebody else than root and there is plaintext password(s) inside
[10:44] <Amaranth> Enselic: mine does
[10:44] <Amaranth> Enselic: and _it_ is ubuntu default, i've literally never opened that file
[10:45] <Enselic> hmm, wierd
[10:45] <Psychomethod> yeah same enselic, i just tried the tiger security auditer, and its told me some stuff like this
[10:45] <myriadar> does anyone has a good how-to for teamspeak2 and ubuntu 7.04 (i'm having problems with alsamixer and my mic)
[10:45] <Enselic> Psychomethod: just a tip, use Ens<TAB> instead of writint Enselic manually
[10:46] <Psychomethod> so basicall by default the /boot/grub/menu.lst is read/write for everyone by default for ubuntu??
[10:46] <Enselic> Psychomethod: in your IRC client I mean
[10:46] <ompaul> esteth, sudo apt-get install rcconf and invoke that
[10:46] <esteth> ompaul: thanks
[10:47] <defrysk> Psychomethod, for anyone who has sudo rights
[10:47] <Psychomethod> ah ok thanks
[10:47] <binanet> Psychomethod : mine is readable by everyone but only writeable by root
[10:47] <binanet> dunno about the default :p
[10:47] <n-iCe> Enselic and how can i know my public ip?
[10:48] <Enselic> I have just built a sound kernel module (snd-hda-intel.ko) but when I modprobe it, modprobe uses the old snd-hda-intel.ko. What is the RIght way of making modprobe use the newly built module?
[10:48] <defrysk> binanet, correct
[10:48] <Enselic> n-iCe: depens on your network setup
[10:48] <Psychomethod> omfg, joachim is my name lol
[10:48] <Enselic> n-iCe: if you are behind a rounter, ask your router
[10:48] <jscinoz> Hey guys, eclipse keeps crashing with this error: http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/6210/eclipsecrashbc1.png any ideas?
[10:48] <texjoachim> can anyone help me with adding a printer on ubuntu server 7.04
[10:48] <ompaul> Psychomethod, no it is 644 which is readable by others and only editable by someone with sudo powers which is a "sensible" default
[10:49] <myriadar> does anyone has a good how-to for teamspeak2 and ubuntu 7.04 (i'm having problems with alsamixer and my mic) <-- no one? :(
[10:49] <Psychomethod> oh i just done sudo chmod 0600 /boot/grub/menu.lst, should i change it to 644 now?
[10:49] <Enselic> myriadar: apparently, no
[10:50] <ompaul> Psychomethod, well yeah, always nice to check stuff as a default user - the setup is not "stupid" and I can't see a reason for not letting any user see it, it is not like some kind of top secret potion
[10:50] <Psychomethod> true lol
[10:50] <TTilus> Psychomethod: 0644 is perfectly safe usually, only if the machine is kiosk or like and you want to pw protect boot options to be sure about things then i think it should be 0600
[10:50] <ompaul> Psychomethod, if it was a box where I was renting out space then maybe I would not like joe random-user reading my config files
[10:51] <TheZanke> hmm
[10:51] <binanet> texjoachim : system-> adinistrator -> printing
[10:51] <Psychomethod> ya, i think im just going over board, more of just curiosity though
[10:51] <askand> can i somehow rebuild /var/lib/dpkg/available?
[10:51] <texjoachim> binanet: there is no x on ubuntu server
[10:51] <binanet> oohh..
[10:52] <b14ck> how can i generate an identity.pub file?
[10:52] <binanet> sorry
[10:52] <ompaul> Psychomethod, be careful alter the wrong thing cos some script suggests it work it out .. it will bite :)
[10:52] <Enselic> b14ck: for SSH? use ssh-keygen
[10:52] <b14ck> ssh-keygen isnt creating an identity.pub file for me... how can i do this?
[10:52] <b14ck> Enselic: it is only creating a id_rsa.pub file
[10:52] <Enselic> b14ck: same thing, different name
[10:52] <Psychomethod> well its set to 0600 so ill find out sometime i guess
[10:52] <ompaul> b14ck, ssh-keygen -t rsa <<< there ya go
[10:52] <Psychomethod> lol
[10:55] <myriadar> in my Volume Control, alsamixer only has a "playback"-page and no "recording"-page, could be this the source of the problem?
[10:55] <binanet> texjoachim : have you try search the forum for setting printer on server
[10:55] <Moryc> hello
[10:56] <b14ck> Enselic: im basically trying to get it so that my ubuntu comuter can ssh to anohter computer on my network without a password, but i cant get it to work
[10:56] <b14ck> Enselic: have any idea how to do this?
[10:56] <Enselic> b14ck: yeah
[10:56] <b14ck> Enselic: basically, i just copied the id_rsa.pub file to othercomputer/.ssh/authorized_keys
[10:56] <orbisvicis> !pastebin
[10:56] <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)
[10:56] <b14ck> Enselic: but it didnt work
[10:56] <Enselic> b14ck: first of all, do you run an ssh server on the computer you want to connext to?
[10:56] <b14ck> Enselic: already done that
[10:56] <Enselic> b14ck: can you ping the other computer?
[10:57] <mnemo> my harddrive LED is blinking all the time in Ubuntu... I want to know which program is using the disk? how can I tell which one it is??
[10:57] <b14ck> Enselic: yes
[10:57] <Enselic> b14ck: can you login with a password?
[10:57] <b14ck> Enselic: yes
[10:57] <booster> hey guys.....can anyone tell me how to upgrade from ubuntu 7.04 to ubuntu ultimate gamers edition ???
[10:57] <sauvin> "ultimate gamers edition"?
[10:58] <Enselic> b14ck: by "othercomputer", do you mean $HOME?
[10:58] <Frogzoo> booster: there is no such animal as ultimate gamers edition
[10:58] <booster> i found a distro called Ubuntu ultimate gamers edition
[10:58] <b14ck> Enselic: by othercomputer I mean 192.168.1.15 ;D
[10:58] <booster> google it i swear there is
[10:58] <Frogzoo> booster: well read their docs
[10:58] <texjoachim> binanet: yes
[10:58] <Migeru> Hi
[10:58] <Enselic> b14ck: what is the full path on the ohter computer to the authorized_keys you speak of?
[10:58] <Frogzoo> booster: but as that's a different distro, don't expect support here
[10:58] <binanet> booster : i believe the ultimate game edition have their repository
[10:58] <Migeru> spanish people?
[10:58] <b14ck> Enselic: basically, what i have is this computer (which i just did ssh-keygen on). then i scp'ed it to root@192.168.1.15:/root/.ssh/authorized_keys
[10:59] <ompaul> !es | Migeru
[10:59] <ubotu> Migeru: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[10:59] <texjoachim> the problem is: the ppd file is not there
[10:59] <texjoachim> I have it on my machime
[10:59] <Enselic> b14ck: it is not recomended to alow root logins through ssh
[10:59] <b14ck> Enselic: then i try to do: ssh user@192.168.1.15 #but it still asks for a password
[10:59] <texjoachim> but the server lacks it
[10:59] <Enselic> b14ck: yeah, you need to add the .pub key to the .ssh/authorized_keys of the user you login as
[10:59] <ompaul> b14ck, did you stick a password into the key you were generating or did you just hit enter?
[10:59] <texjoachim> usr/share/ppd/linuxprinting.org-gs/Minolta/Minolta-PagePro_8L-ljet2p.ppd.gz this it it
[11:00] <b14ck> ompaul: just hit enter
[11:00] <texjoachim> but it isn't there on the server
[11:00] <BBking> Does somebody know a good online poker game for Ubuntu?
[11:00] <booster> ok i have another question.......what chat client can i use to chat in a room for yahoo messanger....gaim wont work anymore
[11:00] <Enselic> b14ck: so instead of /root/.ssh/authorixed_keys, but it in /home/user/.ssh/authorized_keys
[11:00] <binanet> booster : simply yahoo fault
[11:00] <b14ck> Enselic: im tryin that right now
[11:00] <binanet> lol
[11:00] <ompaul> b14ck, and the file you copied to is .15:/home/user/.ssh/authorized_keys ?
[11:01] <b14ck> ompaul: yes
[11:01] <ompaul> b14ck, check the spelling of that file
[11:02] <askand> apache2: Could not open configuration file /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: No such file or directory
[11:02] <askand> why?
[11:02] <Enselic> askand: in what context?
[11:03] <Migeru> Please, I need to configure a printer in a print server of a router US RObotics, but i know
[11:03] <Enselic> askand: why? becuase the file does not exist
[11:03] <askand> Enselic:  I try to start apache2 webserver..I tried to reinstall apache2 hoping it will install a new conf file but no.. :(
[11:03] <ompaul> b14ck, do this on the machine where you made the file, cd .ssh/ ; scp id_rsa.pub user@192.168.1.15:/home/USERNAME/.ssh/box1 and then ssh in and copy box1 to the authorized_keys --- I do this to allow our users use various systems  so often it is part of my blood :)   -- I should script it but somehow I don't want a script that does that kind of thing even living in my or roots home
[11:04] <ompaul> b14ck, nasty debian boxes :)
[11:04] <till__> Hi, on feisty, I have problems to get emacs and auctex running, I am low on time and google didn't help this time. Any hints?
[11:04] <Enselic> askand: maybe  dpkg-reconfigure apache2 works
[11:04] <Enselic> or apache perhaps
[11:04] <b14ck> ok 1 min lemmet ry that ompaul
[11:05] <askand>  Enselic: nope : /
[11:05] <terrance> what software can ?I use to download songs something like limewire for win
[11:06] <Frogzoo> !frostwire | terrance:
[11:06] <ubotu> terrance:: frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire.  For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire
[11:06] <ompaul> till__, sudo apt-get install auctex xemacs21 << which part of that is not working?
[11:06] <terrance> 10z
[11:06] <Roham> Enselic: it says my router IP
[11:06] <b14ck> ompaul: http://rafb.net/p/t8NyBG89.html <--- this is what is happeneing. take a look
[11:06] <Enselic> Roham: ?
[11:06] <Roham> (10:39:44 AM) Roham: Hi, my laptop does not show the DNS in the network or at the router... what can be wrong? I can only type in the ip to connect to the computer...
[11:07] <askand>  Enselic:  other ideas? : (
[11:07] <Pinky> Hi, i'm having trouble with my sound in ubuntu fiesty fawn. i have 2 sound cards, 1 being unsupported and the other being HD audio
[11:07] <Enselic> askand: sorry, nop
[11:07] <ompaul> b14ck, it works :)
[11:07] <Enselic> askand: but there is an easy good way of fixing this, I just on't know it :)
[11:07] <Roham> Enselic: you asked me to type cat /etc/resolv.conf
[11:07] <b14ck> ompaul: it doesnt work. see at the bottom how it still asked me for my password?
[11:07] <b14ck> ompaul: i had to type in my password
[11:07] <ompaul> b14ck, sorry
[11:07] <Roham> Enselic: and it says nameserver 192.168.1.1
[11:08] <Enselic> b14ck: have you enabled pubkey login in the sshd_config?
[11:08] <till__> ompaul, I am trying to use FSF emacs, btw.
[11:08] <sauvin> That looks like a router IP.
[11:08] <b14ck> Enselic: no idea
[11:08] <b14ck> Enselic: how do i do that
[11:08] <ompaul> till__, use the packaged ones or rebuilt the whole world
[11:08] <Enselic> b14ck: the ssh server settings is at /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[11:08] <Enselic> b14ck: man sshd_config
[11:09] <askand> Enselic: hmm..do you have apache2.2-common in your repositories?
[11:09] <Roham> Enselic: any ideas?
[11:09] <Enselic> Roham: I don't see the problem
[11:09] <Enselic> Roham: oh
[11:09] <Roham> Enselic: I cant the ROHI-laptop in the network in other computers or the router
[11:09] <Pinky> anyone with ideas on that.
[11:09] <Roham> Enselic: can only connect through IP
[11:10] <Enselic> Roham: does your router have nameservers specified?
[11:10] <nullptr> is it possible to have Xgl in Gutsy start not from within Xorg ?
[11:10] <till__> ompaul, I do,  sudo apt-get install auctex emacs22, nothing else.
[11:10] <Enselic> Roham: you use your router as nameserver so the router must know about nameservers
[11:10] <ompaul> b14ck, what is the ls -l for authorized_keys
[11:11] <aztec13> The topic has now been changed to "Targeting Local Inet Cafes"
[11:11] <b14ck> -rw-r--r--
[11:11] <aztec13> lol
[11:11] <b14ck> -rw-r--r-- <--ompaul
[11:11] <Roham> Enselic: how do you mean? this computer (stationary, ubuntu) is visible with DNS but not the laptop, the difference is that I have manually configured my stationary but the laptop is automatically configured
[11:11] <ompaul> b14ck, no idea what is going on there
[11:11] <ompaul> b14ck, that all looks correct
[11:11] <till__> ompaul, My apt.sources are plain feisty, nothing else. I also tried --reinstall.
[11:12] <Enselic> Roham: what do mean with "visible with DNS". do you run your own DNS server?
[11:12] <ompaul> b14ck, that all ____looks____ correct where the word looks important
[11:12] <askand> hmm..anyone else have apache2.2-common in their repositories?
[11:12] <orbisvicis> !pastebin

[11:12] <Roham> Enselic: no... I mean the name... e.g. ROHI-stationary and ROHI-laptop
[11:13] <Puaff> please, does it work geforce 8400 in ubuntu?
[11:13] <Enselic> Roham: if you don't run an DNS server, your own local network names has nothing to do with DNS
[11:13] <till__> ompaul, ubuntu does this, and this looks like a bug - remove/auctex: Ignoring emacsen flavor: "emacs22"...  install/auctex: Ignoring emacsen flavor: "emacs22"
[11:13] <ompaul> till__, cos it expects emacs21
[11:13] <Enselic> Roham: if I understand you right, you want to be able to name other computers on your network, without using your own DNS server?  then you should edit /etc/hosts
[11:14] <Roham> Enselic: ok, but how do I make my laptop visibly on the network? my stationary is visible... and I share folders i both computers
[11:14] <till__> ompaul, so emacs22 and auctex are not working on ubuntu, right?
[11:14] <Roham> Enselic: ok... wait gonna open the file
[11:14] <donkdonk> google has failed me. i can not seem to find the nrpe daemon package
[11:14] <Enselic> Roham: can you ping the laptop from the stationary? then th laptop is visible
[11:15] <donkdonk> anyone shoot me a link?
[11:15] <knight5482> hello , i would like to know if it possible to update ubuntu 7.04 Standard personal computer (x86 architecture, PentiumTM, CeleronTM, AthlonTM, SempronTM)

[11:15] <Enselic> Roham: network visibiliy has nothing to do with name resolution
[11:16] <bullgard4> Where is the function printk() described in syntax and semantics?
[11:16] <Enselic> Roham: now, if you want to use names, and *not* run your own DNS server, edit the /etc/hosts file on the computer you want to use names on
[11:16] <ompaul> b14ck, so what is wrong at that point ... something is wrong I can't see it from here
[11:16] <till__> ompaul, Okay, sorry. I thought it would work.
[11:16] <b14ck> ompaul: ya..
[11:16] <inflater> hello guys

[11:17] <Enselic> booster: sourcecode package?
[11:17] <Enselic> booster: read README or INSTALL of the package

[11:17] <Roham> Enselic: ok my bad :P but how can e.g. windows resolve names automatically , because I want to use names due to ip change... my router sux so it will change ips all the time ... even if make them fix to mac addresses. I have a network printer on a ubuntu machine
[11:17] <Puaff> does anyone know if the geforce 8400 is supported in gutsy?
[11:17] <Puaff> I just can use 24 bit colour :(

[11:21] <b14ck> ompaul: ok
[11:21] <b14ck> ompaul: done
[11:21] <Enselic> Roham: what does /etc/hosts look like on the stationary?
[11:21] <ompaul> b14ck, ssh 192.168.1.15  << exactly like that
[11:22] <xeer> is there a way to make textbox's select and move the cursor ala windows?

[11:22] <keineahnung> can somebody help me with my network printer samsung clp300n
[11:22] <ompaul> b14ck, no if the user is the same
[11:22] <SOja> hello fellas
[11:22] <Roham> Enselic: 127.0.0.1 localhost, 127.0.1.1 ROHI
[11:22] <keineahnung> i connected the printer on my fritzbox
[11:23] <b14ck> still doesnt work
[11:23] <kruqnut> lala
[11:23] <keineahnung> ethernet port
[11:23] <Roham> Enselic: laptop = 127.0.0.1 localhost, 127.0.1.1 ROHlaptop
[11:23] <McMadd> morning
[11:23] <Enselic> Roham: right, so how did you think the stationary is going to know about the laptop then?
[11:23] <ompaul> b14ck, I use this thing day in day out and set new staff up whenever they arrive and add services so this is my bread and butter
[11:23] <keineahnung> but i don't know how i can config. my printer by ubuntu
[11:23] <ompaul> b14ck, did you try that ssh 192.168.1.15 ?
[11:23] <b14ck> ompaul: idk. maybe my server is messed up
[11:23] <b14ck> yes i did
[11:23] <ompaul> b14ck, did it let you in?
[11:24] <Enselic> Roham: add a line  <ip-of-laptop> ROHI-laptop  to /etc/hosts on ROHI-stationary, to be able to do stuff like   ping ROHI-laptop   on the stationary
[11:24] <IBG> !grub
[11:24] <b14ck> ompaul: does my server computer need to have the hostname of the computer whose keys im giving it to statically assigned in /etc/hosts?
[11:24] <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
[11:24] <Enselic> Roham: vice versa on the laptop
[11:24] <Roham> Enselic: ok... but i f the ip changes I need to change the ip there to...
[11:24] <Enselic> Roham: yes
[11:24] <xeer> when moving the text cursor in a textbox, is there a way to have it select to the next slash, as it does the spaces?
[11:24] <Enselic> Roham: that's a idfferent prolbem though
[11:24] <Enselic> Roham: why not use static IPs then?
[11:24] <qzio> hi! how do i find the apt-key for gutsy repos? (in my case, se.archive.ubuntu.com)
[11:25] <Roham> Enselic: hmm... yeah thats a solution
[11:25] <ompaul> b14ck, no hosts has nothing to do with it, and please answer my question the reason I ask it like I do is so I can get the response I need -- and again, does ssh 192.168.1.15 let you in?
[11:25] <b14ck> ompaul: no
[11:25] <Roham> Enselic: but I want dhcp if I have friend over... :P
[11:25] <ompaul> b14ck, then the usernames are not the same
[11:25] <Enselic> Roham: then use dhcp for the friend
[11:25] <xeer> okay i guess that question is never going to get answered.. how about a new one
[11:25] <Desolator_> can anybody tell me how to play DVDs on feisty? I followed the guide on the documentation but I'm missing a library, I forgot which
[11:26] <kruqnut> has anyone here used BootIT NG?
[11:26] <Enselic> Roham: static IPs and DHCP hosts on a network are not mutually exclusive
[11:26] <xeer> when using ubuntu with full volume i get crackling
[11:26] <banyunet> fxcgf
[11:26] <BBking> Desolator_: mplayer?
[11:26] <boogie> xeer: thats overdrive :)
[11:26] <ActySofts> I tried with gxine
[11:26] <McMadd> On feisty, I have a mounted share (GUI -> Connect to server, appears on the desktop). How can I access it from the shell? I can't find any mount point.
[11:26] <ActySofts> and it doesn't work
[11:26] <kruqnut> I need some help installing grub on my linux partition instead of MBR
[11:26] <Gecko> Can anyone who run ubuntu on a LVM root fs please /msg me a sample of their kernel statement in /boot/grub/menu.lst?
[11:27] <ompaul> b14ck, now I have an idea
[11:27] <Roham> Enselic: but how come that my router can resolve the stationary but not the laptop?
[11:27] <xeer> boogie: yes, i can listen at the same volume level with windows and there wont be any distortion
[11:27] <Enselic> Roham: um, are you sure the router resolves the name?
[11:28] <Enselic> that would surpise m
[11:28] <boogie> xeer: windows audio system != linux audio system
[11:28] <ompaul> b14ck, did ssh 192.168.1.15 ask for a password, we would expect that it would
[11:28] <xeer> boogie: exactly. my point being there must be a driver issue
[11:29] <poloman> hello people , can we switch from ubuntu to windows without close our  ubuntu session? thank to your response
[11:29] <kruqnut> can someone help me please?
[11:29] <xeer> boogie: i
[11:29] <Roham> Enselic: yes...
[11:29] <Enselic> poloman: run windows in e.g. VMware
[11:29] <xeer> boogie: i'm using technics headphones.. it's shameful for it to hear this noise
[11:29] <Roham> Enselic: for the laptop is just a " - "
[11:29] <poloman> ENSELIc/// ok THANKS
[11:29] <Chillout2k7> Hey all. Ubuntu convertee here, so please excuse the newbness. How do execute a program from terminal without tying it up? Like in a separate thread?
[11:29] <defrysk> <-- sennheiser
[11:30] <ompaul> Chillout2k7, programname &
[11:30] <sauvin> xeer, do you have a mixer?
[11:30] <Enselic> Roham: how can the router know about the stationary name?
[11:30] <boogie> xeer: thats no driver issue - its normal - cause alsa talks different than windows audio to your hardware.
[11:30] <Chillout2k7> ompaul, Perfect! Thanks!
[11:30] <Enselic> Chillout2k7: add a & after the command
[11:30] <Enselic> Chillout2k7: or, type  Ctrl + z and then  bg
[11:31] <Enselic> Chillout2k7: if you already are running the program
[11:31] <xeer> sauvin: i'm using a ALSA mixer in analog mode, HDA ULI M5461
[11:31] <Chillout2k7> Enselic, Ok, I'll try that as well
[11:31] <sauvin> Try turning down PCM.
[11:31] <boogie> xeer: just set master to a middle value and everything should be ok
[11:31] <Enselic> Chillout2k7: google for job management on linux or something and you should get a bunch of good hits
[11:31] <ompaul> Chillout2k7, if you require to use it type fg and to as Enselic said if you want to move it to the background later
[11:31] <ActySofts> what is the difference between "mark for removal" and "mark for complete removal" ?
[11:31] <McMadd> On feisty, I have a mounted share (GUI -> Connect to server, appears on the desktop). How can I access it from the shell? I can't find any mount point.
[11:31] <ompaul> ActySofts, take out the config files also
[11:31] <ActySofts> oh
[11:31] <boogie> and don't forget to turn up PCM
[11:32] <Chillout2k7> Ok, thanks a bunch. I'll google the rest now that I know what to look for =)
[11:32] <xeer> boogie: master at middle provides the overdrive still, not as intense, but still noticable.. and i can hardly hear anything
[11:32] <ferronica> How to replace "home folder icon" from icon theme Linsta?
[11:32] <Roham> Enselic: no idea

[11:33] <hans_> hello al
[11:33] <sauvin> I think I'd rather just give you my improbable.
[11:33] <hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii> hi
[11:33] <Pinky> again: I have no sound. I have two sound cards, one is X-fi and the other is the card that came with a p5n32-e
[11:33] <boogie> xeer: what audio player do you use?
[11:34] <Enselic> Roham: answer: it doesn't :) it's not the routher that resolves the names for ya
[11:34] <xeer> boogie: VLC media player
[11:34] <binanet> ferronica : use alacarte
[11:34] <boogie> xeer: at full volume right?
[11:34] <ferronica> binanet: where it is
[11:34] <poingg> hi
[11:34] <xeer> boogie: correct
[11:35] <binanet> ferronica : alt f2 type alacarte
[11:35] <sauvin> Actually, WHAAT are you playing? I get some really distortiony mp3's, but it occurs to me that movies I play from mplayer render sound beautifully.
[11:35] <boogie> xeer: turn down vlc volume to some what 1/3 of possible value and turn up you mixer settings
[11:35] <Amaranth> binanet: that's not what alacarte is for
[11:35] <ferronica> binanet: ya Amarnath is right
[11:35] <binanet> yes but it do the job changging icon on the menu list
[11:35] <poingg> !hi
[11:35] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[11:36] <poingg> !hi | poingg
[11:36] <xeer> sauvin: mostly electronics.. bass heavy mixes that go down to around 10 or so hertz, my headphones do 5hz
[11:36] <xeer> s/electronics/electronica
[11:36] <boogie> xeer: vlc always makes noise if volume is louder 33%.
[11:36] <boogie> +than
[11:36] <sauvin> but, I mean, are they MP3?
[11:36] <xeer> boogie: i see, i'll try that
[11:36] <kruqnut> can someone help me with installing grub to a partition instead of my MBR?
[11:37] <xeer> sauvin: i've only noticed it in mp3, havn't paid attention in ogg
[11:37] <sauvin> You might have better luck with ogg, and you probably really WOULD enjoy flac.
[11:37] <Pinky> sound issues
[11:38] <McMadd> Again: On feisty, I have a mounted share (GUI -> Connect to server, appears on the desktop). How can I access it from the shell? I can't find any mount point.
[11:38] <Enselic> Hello, how do I make modprobe use my newly compiled /lib/modules/2.6.22-11-generic/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko instead of the old /lib/modules/2.6.22-11-generic/ubuntu/media/snd-hda-intel/snd-hda-intel.ko?
[11:38] <xeer> sauvin: oh yes, i love flac.. problem is i can't find anything in that format natively. re-encoding is not welcome
[11:39] <sauvin> Well, encoding to flac from mp3 doesn't make any sense.
[11:39] <askand> When I write my internal IP in firefox, I get to the apacheserver. When I wrtie my external IP, I get to the modems settings...why?
[11:40] <alloosh> hi, I want to be able to connect to my computer from other machines, what do I need to install?
[11:40] <xeer> sauvin, boogie: thanks for the support. i've got it working fine now
[11:40] <Pinky> Enselic: sounds like something i need
[11:40] <xeer> alloosh, use ssh?
[11:41] <sauvin> :)
[11:41] <alloosh> I have it install, but how do I activate it? Iam on kubuntu
[11:42] <xeer> to 'activate' you simply open a terminal and type: ssh <remoteuser>@<remotehost>
[11:43] <kruqnut> can anyone even hear me, is this channel moderated?
[11:43] <Enselic> OMG MY SOUND WORKS AFTER like 11 weeks of on and off attempts!! I am so happy omg omg!
[11:43] <Enselic> Pinky: just sudo rm it and sudo depmod
[11:43] <Enselic> sudo rm the ubuntu one, that is
[11:44] <ompaul> kruqnut, type up your real question and then .. we can see if there are answers for your question
[11:44] <ferronica> ubuntu 7.04 GNOME  support ASUS Striker Extreme mainboard ??
[11:44] <kruqnut> My question is how do i reinstall grub to the first sector of my linux partition so that i can boot it from my bootloader
[11:44] <shriphani> well does anyone know how to decrease the font size of the virtual console.
[11:44] <kruqnut> so i can triple boot my system
[11:44] <booster> hey guys....when i try to run as root on my system i get an error that says su: Authentication failure
[11:45] <ompaul> !grub > kruqnut (please check the message from ubotu - it has all the good grub info)
[11:45] <kruqnut> !grub
[11:45] <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
[11:45] <sauvin> booster, there is no formal root account in the same way you would expect from other distros.
[11:45] <alloosh> well I dont see the ssh in the services, so Iam not sure how to add it there
[11:45] <ompaul> kruqnut, you have that in a pm from the bot - you don't need to repeat it in the channel :_)
[11:45] <sauvin> There IS a working sudo. Do you really require fulltime root access?
[11:45] <reloop> hi, any secuirty holes in current ubuntu packages? i ask this because it seems that i have a t0rn rootkit on my server.
[11:46] <ompaul> !root > booster (please check pm from bot)
[11:46] <ompaul> reloop, not that we know of, what version are you running and are you patched and up to date?
[11:47] <reloop> omapul: i run ubuntu 7.04 and i apt-get update && apt-get upgrade nearly everyday.
[11:47] <reloop> ompaul
[11:47] <ompaul> reloop, I don't know of any, so the question is why do you think you have t0rn on it
[11:48] <sauvin> Upgrades never break anything?
[11:48] <reloop> because rkhunter says it and i got all the files, which indicate t0rn, on my system :((
[11:48] <McMadd> Again: On feisty, I have a mounted share (GUI -> Connect to server, appears on the desktop). How can I access it from the shell? I can't find any mount point.
[11:49] <reloop> ompaul, only service im running is sshd behind knockd
[11:50] <McMadd> Apparently my question/solution is not as easy as I hoped
[11:50] <reloop> ompaul, i powered it down for now. i try to get there today to have a look what's going on.
[11:50] <ompaul> reloop, so you are suggesting that there is a problem with one/ both of those =-- let me look at that tool
[11:50] <badazz> Me a newbee so can someone cewl dude/dudess help me to get stuff goin here?
[11:50] <reloop> ompaul, yes
[11:50] <badazz> ;)
[11:51] <reloop> ompaul, i use rkhunter .13 beta from cvs

[11:52] <ompaul> reloop, name some of the packages you "have" that are problems?
[11:52] <ompaul> reloop, you can say it in a pm or via pastebin
[11:53] <HyperCity> does anyone know where are stored settings for the desklets? i can't find any .desklets folder in my home
[11:53] <sauvin> Why do you need Adobe Reader?
[11:54] <yu_aider> does anybody know the cause of USB stopping working after some time
[11:54] <badazz> I know... n00bish, but it the prints doesent work with the others
[11:54] <kruqnut> woohoo
[11:54] <kruqnut> great success
[11:54] <kruqnut> ubuntu loaded :)
[11:54] <kruqnut> bootit NG rocks :)
[11:54] <McMadd> Well, let me try another question than. What system does Feisty use to mount shares? (Connect to server)
[11:55] <gordonjcp> McMadd: depends on what you're mounting
[11:55] <McMadd> smb
[11:55] <badazz> Me have been a MS l00sa for years, but UBUNTU just kicksss
[11:55] <gordonjcp> well you can either use smbmount and make a "real" mount, or you can just use gnome-vfs
[11:55] <McMadd> gordonjcp: Did you see my initial question?
[11:56] <gordonjcp> McMadd: not really, because I've not long woken up
[11:56] <gordonjcp> let me scroll back
[11:56] <gordonjcp> ah yes
[11:56] <gordonjcp> right well what you want to do is use smbmount instead of gnome-vfs
[11:58] <badazz> Me old, old, old laptop a Compaq Armada 700 waz on the way out in the trash, but with Ubuntu, its a new world to explore ;)
[11:58] <hafizan> hello
[11:58] <GameMX> oO
[11:58] <McMadd> gordonjcp: was afraid of that but using smbmount and nfs has not provided a usable share. I can only see the listings but not access any files :-(
[11:58] <hafizan> have anyone try ubuntu 7.10  lenovo notebook
[11:58] <gordonjcp> McMadd: probably a permissions issue
[11:58] <McMadd> Through gnome-vfs it works flawlessly
[11:59] <hafizan> my sound driver fail
[11:59] <hafizan> anybody can help?
[11:59] <hafizan> i have compile the latest alsa
[11:59] <badazz> I had to many beers yesterday so i fail today :)
[11:59] <McMadd> gordonjcp: guests should have rw by default... works from windows and gnome vsf
[12:00] <gordonjcp> McMadd: hmm
[12:00] <gordonjcp> McMadd: give me a sec
[12:00] <McMadd> also smbclient with root credentials gave the smae result

[12:01] <morpheus_> i need to split an iso file in ubuntu and re-join it in windoze, whats the best package?
[12:01] <sauvin> A usb stic.
[12:01] <gordonjcp> McMadd: seen this? http://www.mattvanstone.com/2006/06/automatically_mounting_smb_sha/
[12:01] <badazz> HAH
[12:02] <morpheus_> server is an old ML370.....no USB
[12:02] <sauvin> GAR. I don't know any file chunkers.
[12:02] <Gaaston> the "split" command?
[12:03] <badazz> heheh, try using a USB stick to get ya file over to windows
[12:03] <McMadd> gordonjcp: tried a similar tutorial but I'll give it another go. It's obviously a problem on my side.
[12:04] <sauvin> yea... split looks good. The Windows machine could then just do the COPY this+that+other or whatever Windows does...
[12:04] <sauvin> It's stupid that Windows has no cat command.
[12:04] <Gaaston> eh :/
[12:05] <Xman> can anyone tell any channel for web problems i can't open a site
[12:05] <BoSJo> !help
[12:05] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[12:05] <Gaaston> sauvin> it looks to be possible with the "copy" command in windows
[12:05] <sauvin> Oh, it's possible, just not nearly as easy as with linux.
[12:06] <Gaaston> copy file1.dat /B + file2.dat /B + file3.dat /B resultfile.dat
[12:06] <Gaaston> not too hard i think ;)
[12:06] <shay_cyber> hello all , i have a ubuntu 7.04 32 bit version , i have installed 8g of ram but the ubuntu recognize only 3.2 gb of ram (i checked on the computer bios and there is ok - recongnize 8g) what should i do ?
[12:07] <morpheus_> ok, gonna try that, thanks :)
[12:07] <Xman> can anyone tell any channel for web problems i can't open a web site?
[12:07] <sauvin> too much typing. When I download something that comes in a .part1 .part2 .part3 .... format and it comes with a .bat to do that, in linux, I just cat *.part* > resultfile.dat
[12:07] <Frogzoo> shay_cyber: use the big_iron kernel
[12:08] <sauvin> Make yourself an ISO of cygwin and take THAT to your Windows machine!
[12:08] <Gaaston> sauvin> of course, cat is more (advanced) user friendly
[12:08] <shay_cyber> what is the "big_iron kernel" ?
[12:08] <alti> hi
[12:08] <sauvin> It's a "little_iron" kernel with a few extra rivets.
[12:09] <alti> how can I add a additional loopbackadapter?
[12:09] <shay_cyber> from where i can download it ? (with installion steps)

[12:11] <sauvin> Bleah. I can't help with that except with the unhelpful observation that your package manager's database appears to be a bit bewonked.
[12:11] <BernardB> I probably messed it up myself.
[12:12] <sauvin> What did you do?
[12:12] <BernardB> I don't know anymore.
[12:12] <shay_cyber> from where i can get "big_uieb kernel" ? does it coming built-in with the ubuntu ?
[12:12] <BernardB> I'll reinstall it
[12:12] <shay_cyber> big_iron kernel
[12:12] <shay_cyber> (fixing
[12:12] <BernardB> I was planning it already.
[12:12] <uptownben> Hi all. I've been trying to figure out how to fix this problem. I have an RT61 wireless pcmcia card in my notebook. If the network is idle for a few minutes the card shuts down and the machine locks up.
[12:13] <sauvin> Shay, were you the one asking about a big iron kernel?
[12:13] <shay_cyber> yes
[12:13] <shay_cyber> yes sauvin
[12:13] <sauvin> what comnputer do you have?
[12:13] <LLcoolM> is it possible to run ubuntu with fluxbox?
[12:13] <LLcoolM> without having to install all the kde/gnome/xfce stuff?
[12:13] <kruqnut> Bah!
[12:13] <kruqnut> ok so i had ubuntu running
[12:13] <kruqnut> and i went to change the resolution
[12:13] <shay_cyber> p4 conro 1.86g (8g of ram)
[12:13] <joeaverage> !linux

[12:14] <kruqnut> and it made me install nvidia drivers
[12:14] <kruqnut> now X ser4ver wont boot because of the nvidia drivers
[12:14] <joeaverage> !ubotu

[12:14] <nephish> is it dangerous to have a nfs share set to chmod 777 if that port is closed off to the internet via firestarter ?
[12:14] <kruqnut> how to i get the X server to work again?
[12:14] <ompaul> !nvidia | kruqnut
[12:14] <ubotu> kruqnut: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[12:14] <BernardB> Huh? Have you intalled sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx? kruqnut ?
[12:14] <sauvin> Shay, I've heard that 32-bit linux has trouble with RAM greater than 2 GB. I don't remember a P4 as being 64-bit.
[12:14] <kruqnut> well i had ubuntu running
[12:15] <kruqnut> then i went to change the resolution
[12:15] <kruqnut> and it made me download and install nvidia drivers
[12:15] <kruqnut> so it finished and i rebooted
[12:15] <uptownben> I am using an IBM thinkpad x24 notebook.
[12:15] <sauvin> However, you CAN NOT use a "big iron" kernel. You don't WANT to know how many ZIP codes you'd have to buy just to house a big iron computer.
[12:15] <shay_cyber> about the 32 bit linux .. how can u fix that problem of ram ?
[12:15] <kruqnut> then X server gave an error like Nvidia drivers can't load, pretty much
[12:15] <Alloosh> hi, where can I view my computer services to be able to allow ssh?
[12:15] <kruqnut> so now im back on the LIVE CD
[12:15] <joeaverage> !linux | me

[12:15] <ompaul> kruqnut, you just repeated yourself and you were given the url for it
[12:16] <sauvin> shay_cyber, I can't, and I'm not 100% confident that what I said was true. Ask around.
[12:16] <shay_cyber> ok
[12:16] <kruqnut> i know i went there and it gives me the same drivers i just installed that caused X not to work
[12:16] <sauvin> What I DO know is that you DO NOT have a big iron.
[12:18] <MilesAway> hay i need a boot floppy
[12:18] <MilesAway> with chroot
[12:18] <hav0ck> Hi all can i post here my problem ?
[12:18] <MilesAway> any suggestions?
[12:19] <indio99> hola
[12:20] <indio99> hablan espaol por aqu ???
[12:20] <kruqnut> how do i set the X server to load the default drivers?
[12:20] <ompaul> !es | indio99
[12:20] <ubotu> indio99: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[12:20] <shay_cyber> does someone know how much RAM can the 32 bit versions support on AMD64 hardware ?
[12:20] <indio99> ok thanks
[12:20] <MilesAway> linux is like 3 and a half gigs
[12:21] <sauvin> amd64!? why didn't you SAY so? You CAN run a 64-bit ubuntu!
[12:21] <indio99> #ubuntu-es

[12:21] <ompaul> indio99,     /join #ubuntu-es
[12:21] <shay_cyber> sauvin (the problem i dont want re-install ubuntu again)
[12:22] <shay_cyber> can ubuntu can be upgrade ?
[12:22] <shay_cyber> from 32 bit to 64 bit ?
[12:22] <kruqnut> thanks bina ill try that
[12:22] <indio99> ompaul, ok thanks
[12:22] <hav0ck> dpkg --purge clvm <-- error

[12:22] <sauvin> that, I can't answer, shay_cyber, I have an AMD64 myself but won't go 64-bit because of issues with things like flash.
[12:23] <ompaul> hav0ck, don't paste and maybe, sudo apt-get remove -- purge clvm ; apt-get install clvm works for you
[12:24] <ompaul> shay_cyber, don't even try it if you are using a desktop - it is more suited to big databases - not desktops
[12:25] <ompaul> shay_cyber, you won't get speed up you as a human would notice
[12:25] <sauvin> ompaul, can you confirm or deny that linux has a tough time with machines having more than 2 gigs of ram?
[12:26] <ompaul> sauvin, I can say it does not, you need to set some triggers for more than 4 gigs
[12:26] <sauvin> triggers?
[12:26] <ompaul> sauvin, if you go to that level tell the kernel what you have, but even that may be fixed at this stage
[12:26] <gnuskool> can i change an ext3 partition to ext2 without destroying the data?if so with what?
[12:27] <pawan1234> hi
[12:27] <sauvin> In other words, by the time I get a laptop with four gigs in it, and install a new linux, the problem won't still be there, probably?
[12:27] <pawan1234> what is the latest version of ubuntu
[12:27] <ompaul> sauvin, yeap
[12:27] <gnuskool> can i change an ext3 partition to ext2 without destroying the data?if so with what?
[12:27] <ompaul> pawan1234, release is 7.04 and beta is 7.10
[12:28] <variant> no matter what I do, emerald-theme-manager starts on login. I have removed all mention of it that I can find and removed it from session manager but it still starts! any tips?
[12:29] <gnuskool> can i change an ext3 partition to ext2 without destroying the data?if so with what?
[12:29] <variant> gnuskool: yes, ext3 is backwards compatible with ext2. just disable the journal and it is ext2
[12:29] <joeaverage> !ssh
[12:29] <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/
[12:29] <chuxxsss> hi all
[12:30] <ompaul> gnuskool, that would be a bad move from a data integrity perspective, ext3 works much better, and please stop repeating, it can be done, and is well documented, but I won't give you any more information than that -- back up your data before you even think any more about it
[12:30] <variant> gnuskool: use E2fsprogs
[12:31] <variant> gnuskool: there is nothing dangerous about it. it's simply to disable the journal. as ompaul said though, ext2 is not as good as ext3 when it comes to integrity

[12:36] <ompaul> hmpedersen, you are slightly offtopic
[12:37] <hmpedersen> ompaul, I know..
[12:37] <pawan1234> any site
[12:37] <Johto> hmpedersen: too much star wars, dont worry about these weak minded fools :P
[12:38] <ompaul> pawan1234, here is how you do it >> system - administration - synaptic package manager ; search for games
[12:38] <pawan1234> i want a particular site
[12:38] <hmpedersen> pawan1234, I'll try find some good games that works for ubuntu when I'm done installing
[12:38] <kruqnut> how do i make the filesystem writeable?
[12:38] <kruqnut> as in, my root partition
[12:38] <ompaul> pawan1234, that will list games several hundred of them
[12:38] <Johto> hmpedersen: hmm, games and linux is not the best combination :)
[12:38] <hmpedersen> Johto, oh but the force has a strong influence on the week minded..
[12:38] <ZAKhan> I am trying to install VMware server and its giving a lot of errors

[12:39] <Alloosh> hi, how do I reach my ubuntu machine from xp machine and work on it?
[12:39] <ompaul> hmpedersen, you are offtopic, -please stop

[12:39] <ubotu> cgw: For Ubuntu help in Chinese  #ubuntu-cn  #ubuntu-tw   #ubuntu-hk
[12:39] <hmpedersen> Johto, unless you have the right hardware and utilities for running the games..
[12:39] <kruqnut> How can i make my file system writeable?
[12:40] <Johto> kruqnut: what?
[12:40] <kruqnut> well right now
[12:40] <hmpedersen> ompaul, I'm simply answering Johto..
[12:40] <Johto> kruqnut: what make you think its not ?
[12:40] <kruqnut> all my mounted partitions are read only
[12:40] <girl_nCe> hai knalan dong
[12:40] <kruqnut> the file system is read only
[12:40] <kruqnut> when i try to change it to read and write
[12:40] <kruqnut> it says i can't do that
[12:40] <Johto> kruqnut: ok, first thing  first, why is it read only?
[12:40] <ompaul> kruqnut, you are using the cd ?
[12:40] <kruqnut> no
[12:40] <Johto> kruqnut: you need to re-mount it with write flag
[12:40] <kruqnut> i just installed ubuntu
[12:41] <Johto> kruqnut: are you doing some weird system rescue or booted in single mode ?
[12:41] <girl_nCe> oh Im sory for u but i'm from indonesia
[12:41] <kruqnut> single mode?
[12:41] <Johto> kruqnut: thats the only time its "read only"
[12:41] <AeroStick> can i make the compiz fusion work with the restricted ati drivers?
[12:41] <kruqnut> i had to edit the cmd line to boot it
[12:41] <kruqnut> because its wrong in the boot file
[12:41] <ompaul> !compiz  | AeroStick
[12:41] <kruqnut> would that cause it?
[12:41] <ubotu> AeroStick: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[12:41] <hmpedersen> kruqnut, you did install it, right? Or are you on the live disc?
[12:41] <AeroStick> !compiz
[12:41] <Johto> kruqnut: so you are not booted normally, tell how you booted?
[12:41] <kruqnut> i installed it
[12:41] <kruqnut> when grub loaded
[12:41] <kruqnut> i hit e
[12:41] <ompaul> kruqnut, why?
[12:42] <kruqnut> and changed hd1,0 to hd0,0
[12:42] <kruqnut> then hit b
[12:42] <Johto> kruqnut: ok
[12:42] <kruqnut> to boot
[12:42] <bsh> hello all
[12:42] <Johto> kruqnut: then?
[12:42] <kruqnut> then it booted
[12:42] <Johto> kruqnut: and when does it says its read only?
[12:42] <kruqnut> when i click on properties
[12:42] <Johto> kruqnut: your ubuntu IS NOT bootin "ok" if its read onyl
[12:42] <Johto> kruqnut: click??
[12:43] <Johto> kruqnut: where and what user and what directory lol
[12:43] <tz> hallo
[12:43] <bsh> tz? :)
[12:43] <Johto> kruqnut: are you in graphical mode?
[12:43] <hmpedersen> Johto, I think we can assume that
[12:43] <tz> in deutschland
[12:43] <Johto> hmpedersen: just wanted to make SURE
[12:43] <kruqnut> yes
[12:43] <Johto> hmpedersen: sounds weird
[12:43] <kruqnut> im in graphical mode
[12:44] <hmpedersen> Johto, I perfectly agree with you..
[12:44] <kruqnut> im new to linux and don't know enough commands to do much fromt he prompts atm
[12:44] <Johto> kruqnut: and you do know that you should not even be writing outside normal user directory if you are not logged as root?
[12:44] <kruqnut> hmm
[12:44] <Johto> kruqnut: you do understand how unix filesystem works?
[12:44] <kruqnut> i can goto terminal and go root
[12:44] <Johto> kruqnut: ok
[12:44] <hmpedersen> kruqnut, I can tell you that I have encountered the problem once before.. That happened to be a faulty HDD..
[12:44] <kruqnut> but how do i go root in the graphical interface?
[12:44] <Johto> kruqnut: u dont
[12:44] <Migeru> Pleaseeeee, i need to install a printer in print server of USROBOTICS!
[12:44] <kruqnut> the hard drive works fine in vista and xp
[12:45] <kruqnut> so i can never access my files in the graphical interface?
[12:45] <hmpedersen> kruqnut, excuse me.. Vista?
[12:45] <Migeru> Hola
[12:45] <kruqnut> just for directx 10
[12:45] <v1k1ng> why do i hate xchat so much?
[12:45] <Johto> kruqnut: DONT use the system as "root"
[12:45] <v1k1ng> i want to like it
[12:45] <MortarMan> Hi , im stuck with installing , i tried to install Virtualbox and i didnt complete installation now it writes : E: The package virtualbox needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[12:45] <Migeru> necesito ayuda
[12:46] <kruqnut> well how do i gain access to my system
[12:46] <Johto> kruqnut: are you new to linux in general?
[12:46] <hmpedersen> this is beyond my abilities.. Vista has always messed up everything for me.. Cleaned partition tables, restricting access to other OS' and so on..
[12:46] <Johto> kruqnut: what do youu mean by "my filesystem" ?
[12:46] <Migeru> spanish people?
[12:46] <kruqnut> well the partition i installed linux on is listed as "filesystem"
[12:46] <kruqnut> yes i am johto
[12:46] <Migeru> #ubuntu-es
[12:46] <Migeru> :S
[12:47] <kruqnut> ok i used the mount command
[12:47] <kruqnut> first line i see is
[12:47] <hmpedersen> kruqnut, what computer do you have
[12:47] <Johto> kruqnut: please read the basiscs of linux, so you understand better the hiararchy of the filesystem and file permissions and users ..
[12:47] <kruqnut> ./dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
[12:47] <Johto> kruqnut: are you talking about your WINDOWS and other filesystem you see inside ubuntu's filesystem?
[12:47] <kruqnut> no im not
[12:47] <Johto> ok
[12:48] <kruqnut> windows and vista are on seperate hidden file systems
[12:48] <kruqnut> this is the linux filesystem that the OS is installed on
[12:48] <kruqnut> i also have 2 partitions for storage that show up
[12:48] <Johto> yes
[12:48] <kruqnut> but they are read only because they are NTFS and i haven't gotten around to enabling that yet
[12:48] <Johto> kruqnut: type "mount" and paste the line what says about the /dev/sda1 ...
[12:48] <kruqnut> i just did
[12:48] <kruqnut> ./dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
[12:49] <Johto> kruqnut: oh, that tells it has ERRORS
[12:49] <kruqnut> thats my linux partition
[12:49] <Johto> kruqnut: ERRORS
[12:49] <kruqnut> yea i can read errors
[12:49] <[coca1ne] > kruqnut so you wanna have ntfs-partitions r/w ?
[12:49] <MortarMan> Hi , im stuck with installing , i tried to install Virtualbox and i didnt complete installation now it writes : E: The package virtualbox needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.     I have package on desktop. What do i have to do ?
[12:49] <kruqnut> not right now caca1ne
[12:49] <Johto> kruqnut: so ok, you need to boot as single mode ...and do the filesystem check
[12:49] <kruqnut> how do i do that?
[12:49] <g0dd3ss> hi everyone I am running feisty on a toshiba laptop. when my wireless doesn't connect, applications take liek 5-10 seconds to load, (ie. terminal, firefox, gimp, pretty much anything), but after my wifi connects they load as normal. does anyone know how i can fix this
[12:49] <Johto> kruqnut: dont remember how with grub, use google to search ..
[12:49] <[coca1ne] > you need ntfs-3g or tools like this to enable write-mod on ntfs-filesystem-partitions
[12:50] <Johto> kruqnut: its weird because if it has errors, it should do that automaticly, doing hte filesystem check during the boot ..
[12:50] <Johto> kruqnut: anyways, no wonder its mounted as "read only", because it sees there are errors which are not yet "fixed"
[12:51] <hmpedersen> hmm.. My install is almost done..
[12:51] <kruqnut> well im during a weird triple boot using a boot loader
[12:51] <Johto> kruqnut: something weird is happening on your disk
[12:51] <jonathant> how can i define a variable using su -c
[12:51] <Johto> kruqnut: you have a nice mess..
[12:52] <kruqnut> i need to change the boot.lst file in order to boot without having to edit the command line every time
[12:52] <Johto> yeah
[12:52] <Migeru> encontre esto
[12:52] <Migeru> k. According to this and this, the IPP protocol used by USR print server is not the standard IPP protocol, but an "IPP-like" protocol designed to fit the one used in Microsoft products. In older versions of CUPS, a "bug" in the IPP protocol made it compatible with the "IPP-like" protocol of USR, but now that is corrected, therefore it is not compatible anymore...
[12:52] <hmpedersen> kruqnut, can you tell me which computer you have?
[12:52] <hafizan> hello
[12:52] <hafizan> anybody use lenovo notebook?
[12:52] <kruqnut> what do you mean?
[12:52] <Migeru> creo k solo va en windows :S
[12:52] <kruqnut> i made my computer myself
[12:52] <Makt> hello
[12:53] <Johto> kruqnut: mine root filesystem says like this (yeah its xfs, not ext3) : /dev/sda5 on / type xfs (rw)
[12:53] <kruqnut> ok once i get to single user mode
[12:53] <Makt> I was wondering if it is possible to run the Adobe softwares on ubuntu?
[12:53] <kruqnut> what do i do?
[12:53] <Johto> kruqnut: so you have weird rw and ro same time, lol
[12:53] <hmpedersen> kruqnut, then what kind of resources does it have
[12:53] <hafizan> my lenovo notenook didn't heard sound at all
[12:53] <kruqnut> athlon 64 3000+, geforce 8800gts, 2 gigs of ram, 320GB SATA drive
[12:53] <Johto> kruqnut: search google about grub single mode and ext3 filesystem check
[12:54] <hmpedersen> kruqnut, yes.. Plenty to try a different approach..
[12:54] <Johto> kruqnut: so you want to boot in single user mode, then use some command to do a filesystem check / repair on the /dev/sda1 which is in ext3 format
[12:55] <hmpedersen> kruqnut, If you for some reason should give up on running Ubuntu natively, you could have a look at vmware..
[12:55] <Johto> kruqnut: beausae you use triple boot manager and stuff, no wonder it gerts "weird" :D
[12:55] <Johto> kruqnut: gets pretty complex to follow :)
[12:55] <hmpedersen> Johto, that's my point exactly..
[12:56] <Johto> i have this 500gig disk all for ubuntu :)
[12:56] <Johto> no windows at all
[12:56] <kruqnut> im just trying to mess around with compiz-fusion :/

[01:02] <Johto> zec: HAAHAA! :D
[01:02] <zec> would I need to un-partition first, before I reinstall xp?
[01:02] <Loopies> well, first things first:  I didn't have a net work when I had Edgy and it worked fine.  But I had automatix and decided I wanted to get rid of it, so I upgrade (a clean install) with Feisty and my interent worked for a few days or so on and off, now it doesn't work at all.  So I think I need to fix that before I get my network working.
[01:02] <Johto> zec: no, just boot the windows xp disk, and whipe the "unknown" partition and go from there...
[01:02] <Johto> partitiotns..
[01:02] <zec> johto: where is the "wipe" utliity ?!
[01:03] <Johto> zec: no, i just meant wheny you go through the windows xp "setup"
[01:03] <Johto> zec: partition stuff..
[01:03] <kruqnut> well i booted to single mode, and i couldn't unmount the drive
[01:03] <zec> johto: setup brought up error c0000221
[01:03] <kruqnut> said device was busy
[01:03] <[swb] > I just stirred my coffee with the wrong end of a pen

[01:06] <Johto> kruqnut: yes, re.install from cratch
[01:06] <hmpedersen> kruqnut, I suggest vmware on XP to solve it..
[01:06] <foad_> I need help to make my XGL work right .. here is a screen of my problem : http://peecee.dk/index.php?lid=1&aid=1&pid=2&loadid=66975&noresize=yes   - When i start the XGL season it looks like that .. i have been following this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/Xgl           Anybody plz help ?
[01:06] <Psychomethod> yes, but im trying to learn the cli commands, because clamtk dont let me do anything without being su
[01:06] <kruqnut> ok ill give that a shot
[01:06] <kruqnut> cmware?
[01:06] <S> im trying to set up squid/dansguardian/iptables.....im getting error iptables v1.3.6: Bad OWNER UID value `squid'
[01:06] <Johto> zec: no
[01:06] <kruqnut> err vmware?
[01:06] <zec> johto: why not?
[01:06] <foad_> kruqnut: was that to me ?
[01:06] <Ubuntu> zec
[01:07] <Ubuntu> zec ?
[01:07] <S> \\undernet
[01:07] <hmpedersen> kruwnut, virtual machine... vmware.com
[01:07] <kruqnut> no, nm
[01:07] <AnRkey> Psychomethod, edit the launcher/shortcut for ClamTK and ad gksudo in before the clamtk
[01:07] <S> \undernet
[01:07] <Psychomethod> ahh ok ty
[01:07] <AnRkey> Psychomethod, then it will prompt for a sudo password when u run it
[01:07] <BoSJo> Hi all. This is not Ubuntu spesifik, but i guess you guys would know the answer. What is the command to log in via Telnet as root (Yes i know you shouldent do that, but i need to as ssh is refused)
[01:07] <zec> Is ubuntu a user? or a system bot thing?
[01:07] <Johto> zec: first thing first, it seems your hardware is acting up(broken) because your windows disk has read error ...so check your HARDWARE, by running memtest86 from the ubuntu disk. then make sure the cd/dvd-drive is ok, the windows xp dis isnt scratched ...
[01:07] <foad_> I need help to make my XGL work right .. here is a screen of my problem : http://peecee.dk/index.php?lid=1&aid=1&pid=2&loadid=66975&noresize=yes   - When i start the XGL season it looks like that .. i have been following this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/Xgl           Anybody plz help ?

[01:09] <foad_> I need help to make my XGL work right .. here is a screen of my problem : http://peecee.dk/index.php?lid=1&aid=1&pid=2&loadid=66975&noresize=yes   - When i start the XGL season it looks like that .. i have been following this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/Xgl           Anybody plz help ?
[01:09] <AnRkey> Psychomethod, or type man clamscan
[01:09] <Johto> Loopies: thats the problem, your system doesnt seem to "sniff" your network card hardware, do you get network when booting live-cd ?
[01:09] <Loopies> I haven't tried that.
[01:09] <Loopies> johto
[01:09] <Johto> Loopies: try that
[01:09] <Loopies> okay.  I will have to disconnect :O(  I'll be back
[01:09] <Ubuntu> someone explain to me the kernel upgrade question plse
[01:09] <Johto> Loopies: if no eth0 then its because it cannot use right drivers..
[01:10] <Loopies> johto, just so I know before I go, can I repair or something from the live-cd?
[01:10] <Johto> Ubuntu: pretty complex thing to tell here in irc
[01:10] <Johto> Ubuntu: why not google ?
[01:10] <Ubuntu> is it
[01:10] <Ubuntu> ill tell u then its a noob question really
[01:10] <Johto> Loopies: no, just boot from the live-cd, then check if the network works, see if it finds eth0
[01:10] <Ubuntu> when i upgrade to the latest kernerl headers etc
[01:10] <Loopies> okay
[01:10] <Loopies> I'll be back :O)
[01:11] <Ubuntu> i went from 2.20-15 to 2.20-16 something like that
[01:11] <Johto> Ubuntu: well, kernel upgrade has always being the "hardest" thing in linux..like a brain surgery ..soo...
[01:11] <Ubuntu> at the grub boot menu which one should i be choosin exactly
[01:11] <Ubuntu> they both boot with no sound now
[01:11] <Ubuntu> ??
[01:11] <Ubuntu> no i understand thta johto
[01:12] <Johto> Ubuntu: do you have multiple soundcards?
[01:12] <Ubuntu> do u know wether i should be using old or new
[01:12] <AnRkey> Psychomethod, did that work?
[01:12] <Ubuntu> basically kernel -15 was booting with all startup sounds
[01:12] <Ubuntu> -16 wasnt
[01:12] <Johto> new should work ok, something else is the cause
[01:12] <jonathant> how do i define a variable in a script using su -c ?
[01:12] <Ubuntu> today they both dont :D)
[01:12] <Ubuntu> just wondered if u knew
[01:12] <Ubuntu> i set it to my audigy soundcard
[01:12] <Ubuntu> no luck
[01:13] <Johto> Ubuntu: check the alsa-mixer settings, use the speaker icon and the "sound" thingy in the gnome menu
[01:13] <Ubuntu> they need to sort this kernel upgrade
[01:13] <MajorPoopyPants> I need a good ftp program please
[01:13] <MajorPoopyPants> lightweight client prog plz
[01:13] <Alloosh> guys i asked many times and no answer, how do I connect to my ubuntu machine from other machines?
[01:13] <foad_> I need help to make my XGL work right .. here is a screen of my problem : http://peecee.dk/index.php?lid=1&aid=1&pid=2&loadid=66975&noresize=yes   - When i start the XGL season it looks like that .. i have been following this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/Xgl           Anybody plz help ?
[01:13] <Ubuntu> its not good when u just do a fresh install
[01:13] <Johto> Ubuntu: HAHA, its EASY nowadays, you should have tried upgrading kernel by hand manually back in the 1998
[01:13] <Ubuntu> and then u are faced with this erm.. which kernel should i try ??
[01:14] <Ubuntu> unless u know what to do
[01:14] <Johto> Ubuntu: none
[01:14] <Ubuntu> i know its easy now :D)
[01:14] <Johto> Ubuntu: i mean, why mess wiht the system if you dont know what you are doing? no pain, no gain
[01:14] <Ubuntu> but u know for noobs to ubuntu its a little like erm...
[01:14] <Johto> Ubuntu: well, try and boot from the live-cd, do you have the sounds then?
[01:15] <Ubuntu> basically
[01:15] <nepali> anyone have tried canon 2900
[01:15] <Johto> Ubuntu: and are you sure its the ubuntu, not some other fault, like bad mixer settings, no power in the speakers etc? :D
[01:15] <Ubuntu> i did a fresh install ok, then i updates ubuntu as u do and it install the latest kernel headers etc etc
[01:15] <Johto> do you have the speaker icon?
[01:15] <Ubuntu> so when u restart u get grub menu u with 2 types of kernel to choose from ??
[01:15] <Ubuntu> not inc safe mode
[01:16] <Ubuntu> i just wondered why
[01:16] <Ubuntu> i know there is site to delete the list
[01:16] <Ubuntu> but what about actualy using them
[01:16] <Johto> Ubuntu: the newer, but something is weird if you get the menu, it should default to the newer, not show the menu if you dont spesificly press some button
[01:16] <Ubuntu> wouldnt it be better for  Ubuntu team to adjust this update so its easier for noobs
[01:16] <Johto> Ubuntu: or do you have multiboot, like windows also?
[01:17] <Johto> Ubuntu: linux is not for noobs :D
[01:17] <Ubuntu> yeah i have dual boot
[01:17] <Johto> haha, cold fact :D
[01:17] <Ubuntu> ubuntu on HDA and windows on HDB
[01:17] <fivetwentysix__> Hi, how come only 1 program can use sound
[01:17] <Ubuntu> is that why ?
[01:17] <Johto> Ubuntu: ok, then the grub boot menu is normal
[01:17] <Johto> Ubuntu: i dont have the menu because i run only linux
[01:17] <Ubuntu> yeah but u say linux is not for noobs
[01:17] <Ubuntu> but thats stupid
[01:18] <Johto> Ubuntu: double click the speaker icon in gnome, tell me what you seee
[01:18] <Frogzoo> !sound | fivetwentysix__
[01:18] <ubotu> fivetwentysix__: 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
[01:18] <Johto> Ubuntu: ahahha
[01:18] <Ubuntu> coz in order for the linux world to grow they need to cater for real noobs too
[01:18] <Ubuntu> what u think windows has been doing
[01:18] <Johto> ubotu: its ok for noob, but you need to learn a ton
[01:18] <Ubuntu> hence why bill is laughing
[01:18] <fivetwentysix__> How do I select ALSA?
[01:18] <jonathant> what does ubuntu want done?
[01:18] <Ubuntu> i know u do
[01:18] <Ubuntu> im prepared
[01:18] <Ubuntu> im competant
[01:18] <jonathant> what do you want to do?
[01:18] <Ubuntu> its just some parts i need to learn i fully agree
[01:18] <Shaffox> Haha. And you're one of them, Ubuntu ?
[01:19] <Ubuntu> but they could make it alittle bit more user freindly for certain people
[01:19] <AndrewB> Ubuntu: whats up?
[01:19] <Johto> ubotu: yeah, best to learn also the "basics", like the terminal and the "core" non graphical stuff too, it helps alot !
[01:19] <zegevrijtt> can i undo a msdol label and recover all partitions?
[01:19] <Ubuntu> im not complaininh just thinking of others
[01:19] <jonathant> dont think the develepors dont ry
[01:19] <Johto> ubuntu yeah, best to learn also the "basics", like the terminal and the "core" non graphical stuff too, it helps alot !
[01:19] <hmpedersen> Ubuntu, I doubt the fact that Bill is laughing..
[01:19] <Shaffox> Ubuntu, Like what? What isn't user friendly enough?
[01:19] <Ubuntu> ok so what do u think then
[01:19] <Johto> Ubuntu: there are lot to learn, no need to rush
[01:19] <Shaffox> The icons aren't big enough?
[01:20] <AndrewB> !offtopic
[01:20] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[01:20] <Ubuntu>  could it be my win h/D is conflicting
[01:20] <Johto> Ubuntu: no
[01:20] <hmpedersen> More likely he's laughing about all the noobs who pay for Vista only to have their system restricted so much..
[01:20] <kidbuntu> !frostwire
[01:20] <Ubuntu> but serious it shows 2 kernels to boot into
[01:20] <ubotu> frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire.  For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire
[01:20] <Johto> Ubuntu: windwos doesnt have anytring to do with it, its not "on" now
[01:20] <Ubuntu> but ont he how to geeks site he has the same
[01:20] <Ubuntu> but he deletes all the new kernels
[01:20] <Johto> Ubuntu: do you have the speaker icon??

[01:22] <Ubuntu> the old did
[01:22] <Kwafoo> Your system does not have the required software to enable 3D mode. Please contact your system administrator and ask them to install the OpenGL Python bindings and the GtkGLExt Python bindings.
[01:22] <Ubuntu> today they both dont
[01:22] <Ubuntu> :D)
[01:22] <Johto> Ubuntu: re-check hte mixer settingsd!

[01:23] <kruqnut> installing ubuntu that is
[01:23] <Xteven> but instead, it has now configured both interfaces (wired and wireless)
[01:24] <Xteven> so nonw I took down my wireless network with ifdown eth1
[01:24] <Johto> kruqnut: the first partition of the hard-drive
[01:24] <Evanlec> kruqnut, u want to put boot loader (GRUB) onto your hd0 partition

[01:24] <Ubuntu> check it out !
[01:24] <Ubuntu> thats like mine but with 2 kernels not loads
[01:24] <Alloosh> is it possible to host a site on my computer if I have dynamic ip adress?
[01:24] <Ubuntu> :D) lol
[01:25] <kruqnut> so if the linux partition is installing to /dev/sda1/ i put /dev/sda1/??
[01:25] <Johto> Alloosh: sure
[01:25] <Alloosh> Johto: how?
[01:25] <Johto> Alloosh: just use some of the free dns hosting services
[01:25] <Ubuntu> but he keeps the -10 not the -16
[01:25] <Ubuntu> how weird :D
[01:25] <kruqnut> i need to install the bootloader to the linux partition in order for the bootloader to load linux
[01:25] <[Daniel] > i love this channel, i learned a lot
[01:25] <kruqnut> if i install it to the MBR then it wont work at all
[01:25] <Alloosh> Johto: site please?
[01:25] <Johto> Alloosh: if your ip doesnt change too often, and you keep updating it if it changes, its easy
[01:25] <kruqnut> not to mention HD0 is my IDE storage drive
[01:25] <Evanlec> Alloosh, http://www.dyndns.com/services/dns/dyndns/
[01:26] <kruqnut> so i type /dev/sda1/ in the box?
[01:26] <Alloosh> it changes every 12, do I have to update every time it changes?
[01:26] <Ubuntu> http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/clean-up-ubuntu-grub-boot-menu-after-upgrades/
[01:26] <Ubuntu> http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/clean-up-ubuntu-grub-boot-menu-after-upgrades/
[01:26] <Ubuntu> explain !
[01:26] <Evanlec> kruqnut, why wont it work ?
[01:26] <Johto> Alloosh: there are tons, i use http://fdns.net/
[01:26] <kruqnut> the bootloader needs GRUB installed on the partition in order to work
[01:26] <Johto> Alloosh: my computer is "rousku.fdns.net" ..try http://rousku.fdns.net" :D
[01:27] <Ubuntu> whos talking to me ?
[01:27] <Evanlec> kruqnut, GRUB is the bootloader so im confused
[01:27] <kruqnut> if it goes to the MBR on HD0 it will do nothing as my computer boots off HD1, and if its on the MBR of HD1 then my bootloader won't work
[01:27] <kruqnut> so i have to install GRUB to the partition of linux
[01:27] <nanonyme> Johto, maybe another try with a bit more content? ;)
[01:27] <Johto> Alloosh: if that changes that often, its not good
[01:27] <Alloosh> Johto: so you will need to go to their site and update your account every time the ip address changes?
[01:27] <Evanlec> when u say bootloader are u referring to windows mbr?
[01:27] <Meroigo> does the system log only save three days worth of logs?
[01:27] <Johto> nanonyme:  :D
[01:27] <kruqnut> i use a third party bootloader for triple booting
[01:27] <Johto> Alloosh: pretty much
[01:27] <Evanlec> oh i see
[01:27] <kruqnut> no i have a third party bootloader/partition manager
[01:28] <nanonyme> Johto, where do you study?
[01:28] <kruqnut> because windows xp and windows vista require special options to dual boot together
[01:28] <Johto> Alloosh: i have dynamic addres too, but my computer is 24/7 online, so mine changes like once per 4 months !
[01:28] <Ubuntu> anyone explain this kernel update thing !
[01:28] <Ubuntu> http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/clean-up-ubuntu-grub-boot-menu-after-upgrades/
[01:28] <Ubuntu> http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/clean-up-ubuntu-grub-boot-menu-after-upgrades/
[01:28] <kruqnut> anyways i have to install grub to the linux partition
[01:28] <kruqnut> so that the bootloader can load it in order to start the linux Kernel
[01:28] <Alloosh> I can do that by just pointing the domain to the new ip address every time my ip address changes, so I will not need them :)
[01:28] <Johto> nandemonai: i dont study, i already graduated :D
[01:28] <kruqnut> so im wondering what exact path i need to use in order to get it to install to my linux partition
[01:29] <kruqnut> since my ext3 linux partition is /dev/sda1
[01:29] <Johto> nanonyme: http://rousku.fdns.net/mrtg/
[01:29] <kruqnut> im guessing thats what i use?
[01:29] <Johto> nanonyme: some nice graphs for u
[01:29] <Evanlec> kruqnut, im not positive but i would say yes
[01:29] <Ubuntu> well i have ubuntu on hda and windows on hdb and then when i boot it goes straight to win ,. so i have to f12 choose the hda disk then it brings up the grub menu on mine
[01:29] <Alloosh> the other question: how do I connect to my ubuntu machine at home while iam at work or somewhere else?
[01:29] <nanonyme> nice
[01:29] <Ubuntu> use remot
[01:29] <Ubuntu> e
[01:29] <kruqnut> well if you try to dualboot xp and vista together
[01:29] <Evanlec> Ubuntu, check hard drive boot order in bios?
[01:29] <kruqnut> xp will steal windows vista system restore
[01:29] <Ubuntu> hasnt ubuntu got a terminal server clietn for that
[01:29] <kruqnut> and other things
[01:30] <Johto> http://rousku.fdns.net/uptime/ <-- mu uptime
[01:30] <kruqnut> so you have toi use a bootloader to hide the vista partition when booting XP
[01:30] <Ubuntu> krugnet whats up man u sound like u got probs
[01:30] <kruqnut> well i had ubuntu installed but my hard drive was read only
[01:30] <zec> I was reinstalling windows xp (And trying to wipe out ubuntu) - in the setup menu for xp, it showed that I have two partitions (C 7336 mb and F 2957 mb).  It gave me two options - to delete the partitions (and then I guess it would install windows on the free space) or "create partition in unpartitioned space".  Which one should I choose?
[01:31] <Johto> zec: first delete, then make a new partition to the free'ed space
[01:31] <[Daniel] > i cant run a radio with video stream!
[01:31] <Evanlec> zec, if u want to whipe out ubuntu, delete partitions and use free space
[01:32] <zec> Evanlec: so, I delete both partitions first? even the one where it says has "system files" on?
[01:32] <Johto> zec: what???
[01:32] <Johto> zec: and those both are from ubuntu install?
[01:32] <Ubuntu> evanlec i know the order
[01:32] <Evanlec> zec, system files?
[01:32] <kruqnut> i wish i could see if linux considered my install drive to be HD1 or HD0
[01:32] <Loopies> Johto, okay, it worked!
[01:32] <Ubuntu> hda is boot disk
[01:32] <kruqnut> because i think that was one of the major problems
[01:32] <Ubuntu> thats not my issue
[01:32] <Loopies> ohh, and what's an attack on port 3380?
[01:32] <Ubuntu> i can live with this
[01:32] <Johto> Loopies: wtf?
[01:32] <Evanlec> zec, that sounds like it might be a recovery partition, u using a DELL or something?
[01:32] <zec> johto: when I go to delete the bigger partition, it says "this disk has important system files on it, are you sure you want to delete?".  Yes, both of these are from the zubuntu install - I had no partitions before
[01:32] <kruqnut> it installed on HD1 but when i went to boot hd1 became hd0
[01:32] <Johto> Loopies: where do you see some "atack" ?
[01:32] <kruqnut> i had the same problem with XP install
[01:32] <Ubuntu> my issue is all the kernels listed at the grub menu
[01:32] <zec> Evanlec: Dell dimension 2400
[01:33] <Ubuntu> http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/clean-up-ubuntu-grub-boot-menu-after-upgrades/
[01:33] <Ubuntu> like that
[01:33] <kruqnut> so i think i need to pull my IDE HD untill im done installing the OS
[01:33] <Loopies> johto ... sorry, on my windows machine ... I am using my old laptop to talk here because, well, my internet is not working on my linux box
[01:33] <Johto> zec: lol, i havent ever seen that message, in 15 years, yeah you can delete it, dont believe that microsoft shiit
[01:33] <Loopies> and I just reconnected and it "blocked an attack", johto
[01:33] <zec> johto: OK - so I delete the bigger partition, right?
[01:33] <Johto> Loopies: ah, you have some crappy sofware firewall program telling you bullshit :D
[01:33] <Ubuntu> krugnet prv chat me plse and reply
[01:33] <Evanlec> kruqnut, the problem with disconnecting drives while installing ubuntu is that when u reconnect it, your bios may re-order the disks
[01:34] <Loopies> johto, haha, yes.  No cause for concern, then?
[01:34] <Ubuntu> correct
[01:34] <aztec13> if i sat my irc set to ubuntu-in spanish how could i get a posting on the channel itself instructing the person to either look for me in this room or xubuntu?
[01:34] <tatters> Would syncing my entire dekstop home folder (inc hidden)  with my laptop home folder (inc hidden) cause any problems??
[01:34] <Johto> Loopies: no worrys, firewalls and antivir programs liek to scare people, to buy their products u see
[01:34] <Evanlec> zec, unless u have important data, delete all i would say
[01:34] <zec> Evanlec: both partitions?
[01:34] <Johto> Loopies: telling some non relative information, like its "important".
[01:34] <Ubuntu> correct
[01:34] <kruqnut> evanlec my bootloader handles that
[01:34] <Loopies> johto, ahhh! ... in any event, my live CD DOES recognize the internet (or I guess more technically, the NIC)
[01:34] <Evanlec> zec, yea, why make things messy, delete both and make a new one
[01:34] <kruqnut> OS's have a hard time installing on HD1 over Hd0
[01:34] <Johto> Loopies: ok, thats good "!
[01:34] <zec> thanks!
[01:35] <Loopies> johto ... now what? :O)
[01:35] <Ubuntu> can i help anyone ?
[01:35] <Johto> Loopies: then you can figure out somehow what module it uses(what brand etc)..then if it doesnt use it automaticly after REAL setup, you at least know what module it "should" use..to install it "manually"
[01:35] <tatters> !unison
[01:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about unison - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[01:35] <Loopies> okay.  So do LSMOD and see what it says, johto?
[01:36] <Johto> Loopies: i would recommend you now to do "lsmod" and write it down
[01:36] <Ubuntu> private chat doesnt appear to be working !
[01:36] <faemir> Does anyone know any piece of software that will read or convert some .docx files I have?

[01:36] <Evanlec> kruqnut, getting ntfs r/w not terribly hard, i would say its triple booting that is the hard part ;p
[01:37] <Loopies> johto, stupid question: there are about a million things listed here and none of them jump out at me as NIC ... what is the abbreviation or whatever?
[01:37] <Ubuntu> be warned
[01:37] <Johto> Ubuntu: ehehhe !

[01:40] <faemir> NuCobra, well you can install ubuntu 32bit on a 64bit machine and then use the 32bit flash plugin
[01:40] <Evanlec> Ubuntu, i sent u private msg
[01:40] <tatters> yah lol
[01:40] <PriceChild> kruqnut, you should be installing it to a drive, e.g. /dev/sda, not a partition
[01:40] <Loopies> familie, I've had bad luck w/ lexmark, where did you get your driver?
[01:40] <familie> Loopies, lexmark.com the LLPDDK Libs
[01:40] <Loopies> familie, well, I kind of feel like an idiot, I'll check it out.  Thanks.
[01:40] <chuxxsss> gforce mx440
[01:41] <tatters> seems to be the blackhole of questions, 2 mins to setup it all up, 2 days to find an answer to that Q

[01:42] <Johto> Loopies: my module is the "skge"
[01:43] <Evanlec> Ubuntu, i am registered and recognized by nickserv, im not getting anythighn from you
[01:43] <Ubuntu> weird
[01:43] <tatters> e-mail,documents.shedules,contacts,etc
[01:43] <Ubuntu> its slow
[01:43] <Ubuntu> chat here
[01:43] <Blauhaut> My problem is :  when i start compiz fusion i lost my window topics
[01:43] <[swb] > kruqnut, do you want to install grub in your bootsector, so it can load windows and linux?
[01:43] <Evanlec> k
[01:43] <lagrimo> hello, guys. I'm looking for a suitable application for showing on television to watch videos, listen to music and to watch pictures. Are there any applications? Important: I'm do not need tv program
[01:43] <chuxxsss> not there
[01:43] <Ubuntu> do u have 2 hd ?
[01:43] <chuxxsss> in kde
[01:43] <kruqnut> yea
[01:43] <[swb] > I have no experience getting grub to load vista tho
[01:43] <kruqnut> and im not sure which is hd0 and which is hd1
[01:43] <Loopies> johto, I don't have anythinge between the "[    xx.xxxxxx] "  and the "eht0"
[01:43] <Evanlec> Ubuntu, yes, however, even with that second hd disconnected i still see this strange text
[01:43] <[swb] > agg
[01:43] <kruqnut> im booting xp, vista, and linux
[01:43] <Ubuntu> ok
[01:43] <[swb] > kruqnut, do you have them mounted?
[01:43] <Johto> this channel is fun, its like never ending stream of "lost souls, crying for help" :D
[01:44] <[swb] > are you in linux now?
[01:44] <kruqnut> im on livecd right now
[01:44] <[swb] > Johto, haha
[01:44] <Ubuntu> which HD are u trying to install vista on ?
[01:44] <chuxxsss> kaffeine good tv dvb program
[01:44] <Ubuntu> hda or hdb ?
[01:44] <kruqnut> can i mount from the live cd?
[01:44] <[swb] > kruqnut, ok click on the computer icon
[01:44] <Ubuntu> as in 1st or 2nd ?
[01:44] <kruqnut> i have hda and sda
[01:44] <Meroigo> I put in a CD in my DVD-ROM drive and it says: http://static.pici.se/pictures/PdUWTcoAp.png (btw, it's the first time since I installed Ubuntu that I wanted to use a CD-ROM in it...)
[01:44] <Evanlec> Ubuntu, it wouldnt be a problem except that, the last time i tried to install ubuntu again, windows wouldnt boot anymore
[01:44] <[swb] > in places or whatever
[01:44] <Loopies> johto, in fact, it doesn't really look anything like what you have written, I have things like "110Mbps, full-duples, lpa 0x45E1"
[01:44] <[swb] > then double click on each disk
[01:44] <tatters> I thought maybe just sync .kde but even in that 1 folder theres a lot of files that seem irelevent take me weeks to filter em all out
[01:44] <[swb] > and see which is which as it mounts them
[01:44] <lagrimo> any ideas??
[01:44] <Evanlec> Ubuntu, vista is installed on primary partition, hda
[01:44] <Ubuntu> its conflicting somewhere
[01:44] <Johto> Loopies: do you have integrated card?
[01:44] <Loopies> johto, yes
[01:44] <Ubuntu> arr hold on
[01:44] <Johto> Loopies: of course the output varies by hardware
[01:44] <PriceChild> Evanlec, Ubuntu, hda is NOT a partiton
[01:44] <Ubuntu> u said primary partition of hda
[01:45] <Johto> Loopies: i have integrade 3com card on this asus mobo
[01:45] <kruqnut> well with livecd booted, it doesnt show my other disks
[01:45] <Evanlec> PriceChild, lol, okay, ur right, hda is the device right?
[01:45] <Ubuntu> i know what HDA is thanks !
[01:45] <Ubuntu> we are talking about they butt out plse
[01:45] <Loopies> johto, I think I just might reinstall
[01:45] <Ubuntu> evanlec
[01:45] <PriceChild> !guidelines > Ubuntu
[01:45] <Evanlec> ya
[01:45] <Ubuntu> ty sir
[01:45] <Evanlec> hda, hd0, are these the same things?
[01:45] <PriceChild> Evanlec, yes
[01:45] <kruqnut> i mean, its going to be (hd1,0) or (hd0,0)
[01:45] <Evanlec> k
[01:45] <Johto> Loopies: well, u might, but nevertheless, if your card is working "now" when you are in live-cd , then its 100% sure to get working after install, even it might need some "tweaking" :D
[01:45] <Ubuntu> yes
[01:46] <PriceChild> Evanlec, hd0 would be grubs interpretation for example
[01:46] <Evanlec> a little confusing to me
[01:46] <[swb] > kruqnut, really, it doesnt show disks in Places -> Computer
[01:46] <Ubuntu> hard drive a or 0
[01:46] <kruqnut> well i have HDA and SDA as my hard drives
[01:46] <Ubuntu> or hd b or 1
[01:46] <PriceChild> Evanlec, a lot of things in linux start counting at 0 instead of 1
[01:46] <Ubuntu> as in 1 or 2
[01:46] <Ubuntu> but they count 0 or 1
[01:46] <Evanlec> yea
[01:46] <Ubuntu> get it
[01:46] <Loopies> johto, yea, I think I'll just do that.  Should be easier, me thinks.
[01:46] <Ubuntu> ok ..
[01:46] <Evanlec> grub counts from 0, windows counts from 1?
[01:46] <Johto> Loopies: yeah
[01:46] <Ubuntu> where do u want vista and where do u want ubuntu
[01:46] <Ubuntu> have u got 2 HD?
[01:46] <Evanlec> i want vista on hda, ubntu on hdb
[01:47] <kruqnut> swb, my linux partition is mounted, that is it
[01:47] <Evanlec> second hard drive
[01:47] <Ubuntu> ok
[01:47] <Evanlec> yes
[01:47] <kruqnut> the linux partition is on SDA
[01:47] <Ubuntu> ok
[01:47] <kruqnut> but i don't know if SDA is considered hd0 or hd1
[01:47] <PriceChild> kruqnut, sda is sd
[01:47] <Loopies> johto, ubuntu, since I'm reinstalling, I was thinking of doing a dual boot w/ XP so I can play games.  Is it A.) easier to install Ubuntu first, and then Windoze B.) vise versa or C.) just virtualize windows.  I really would rather not have to dual boot, but I really want to play some games :O)
[01:47] <Johto> i have authentic vista ultimate license from work, i havent even installed this disk, its gathering dust as we speak :I
[01:47] <Evanlec> SDA = scsi disk device A ?
[01:47] <Johto> i hate vista
[01:47] <kruqnut> when i installed ubuntu last time
[01:47] <Ubuntu> sata isnt
[01:47] <Ubuntu> it
[01:47] <PriceChild> kruqnut, it has no number as that's what's given to partitions, not disks
[01:48] <Loopies> johto, ubuntu, I hope I'm not a dissenter because I want XP :O)
[01:48] <Evanlec> Ubuntu, im not sure ;p
[01:48] <kruqnut> it installed in the bootloader as (hd1,0)
[01:48] <Ubuntu> what i got
[01:48] <kruqnut> but to get ubuntu to run, i had to edit it and change it to (hd0,0)
[01:48] <Johto> Loopies: windows xp first, leave "unpartitioned" space to the end of the disk, then use that space to make the necessary ubuntu partitions, and install the grub to the FIRST partition(windows partition) then you will have multiboot option in grub fro ubuntu/windows
[01:48] <Ubuntu> is i have xp  on hdb with the jumpers set too slave
[01:48] <kruqnut> well after the bootloader gets ahold of it it is hd0
[01:48] <kruqnut> but during install its hd1
[01:48] <kruqnut> i think thats the problem
[01:48] <PriceChild> Evanlec, because of libata, feisty onwards, ubuntu recognises normal ide drives as sata
[01:49] <Evanlec> Ubuntu, im using two SATA drives
[01:49] <Ubuntu> and i put ubuntu on hda with the jumper set too master
[01:49] <Ubuntu> ok
[01:49] <Johto> Loopies: so windows first, then ubuntu
[01:49] <Loopies> johto, so you would dual boot over virtualization?
[01:49] <kruqnut> so i need to remove the IDE drive with would be HD0
[01:49] <Johto> Loopies: well, neither
[01:49] <kruqnut> then it should install as HD0
[01:49] <Ubuntu> ubuntu set my grub menu hidden
[01:49] <Loopies> haha, just say no to windows, johto?
[01:49] <Johto> Loopies: i mean, i dont have a single "real" windows machine now at home, only vmware for some windows stuff i "really" need
[01:49] <Evanlec> Ubuntu, sorry what?
[01:49] <kruqnut> when it comes to boatloaders they don't do SD for booting as far as i know
[01:49] <kruqnut> im completely confused
[01:49] <HLM> !windows
[01:49] <Johto> Loopies: i dont play much games nowadays :I
[01:49] <Ubuntu> so i have to f12 for boot menus on this pc and select the hda drive to then get the grub
[01:49] <kruqnut> the drive is SDA
[01:49] <ubotu> 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
[01:49] <Ubuntu> pclos etc doesnt do that
[01:49] <kruqnut> but it won't install to SD0
[01:50] <Evanlec> PriceChild, thanks for info, so all disks are labeled SDA or some such?
[01:50] <Ubuntu> dont ask me why
[01:50] <tatters> does anyone know of any actual file which resides in the home that is local specific and cannot be synced across machines?
[01:50] <Loopies> johto, ahh.  well maybe I'll get Ubuntu up and running, get my network squared away and then see about VMware and/or a dual boot.
[01:50] <PriceChild> Evanlec, yes, even if in edgy they were labelled hd, they are all sd in feisty onwards
[01:50] <Johto> Loopies: my 200gig working windows xp disk is on the drawer, so i could just swap my disk if i needed to go back to windows ..but ..meh..
[01:50] <PriceChild> Evanlec, i think gutsy might revert that actually, but it isn't out yet so meh
[01:50] <Evanlec> PriceChild, okay so sd0,0 = hd0,0 ?
[01:50] <Loopies> johto, alrighty, well, off to reload and then to bed :O)  Thanks a  bunch for your help.  Truly appreciated.
[01:50] <PriceChild> Evanlec, "no"
[01:51] <Evanlec> no, that doesnt make sense
[01:51] <Evanlec> sda = hda ?
[01:51] <PriceChild> no
[01:51] <Evanlec> lol
[01:51] <Ubuntu> people need to start reading the text in the mind not the letters
[01:51] <kruqnut> im so confused, fucking having 1 ide drive and one sata drive is a pain in the ass
[01:51] <Johto> Loopies: maybe i'l but that disk back to the machine and add additional grub menus, if i really need real windows in future, but i'm now too lazy :D
[01:51] <Ubuntu> yes
[01:51] <kruqnut> sda = sata drive/scsi drive
[01:51] <kruqnut> while hda refers to IDE
[01:51] <Ubuntu> isnt hda the ide disk 1
[01:51] <Loopies> johto, so you CAN add windows AFTER ubuntu, it's just quiet as easy?
[01:51] <Johto> Loopies: yeah, good luck, and take your time :)
[01:51] <Evanlec> kruqnut, i hear ya, i disconnected my ata cd-rom just so i wouldnt have any IDE lol
[01:51] <Ubuntu> sda is the sata disk 1
[01:51] <PriceChild> kruqnut, use gparted as a nice visual tool to work out what each drive is labelled as... or "sudo fdisk -l"
[01:51] <Ubuntu> ??
[01:51] <kruqnut> but when you install, it will refer to your SDA drive has HDA
[01:52] <Ubuntu> god sake google
[01:52] <Johto> Loopies: of course..you can do what the hell u want, if u have skills :D
[01:52] <Johto> Loopies: but not recommned to your case :D
[01:52] <Jack_Sparrow> Loopies:  you can but not as easy
[01:52] <Loopies> johto, well, yea, skills are definitely lacking :O)
[01:52] <kruqnut> i did sudo fdisk -l
[01:52] <kruqnut> it didn't show me the drive i need
[01:52] <Loopies> jack_sparrow, Johto, alrighty, thanks again.  Later.
[01:52] <Johto> bye
[01:53] <Evanlec> PriceChild, okay so just to get this straight, devices are labeled with letters, partitions with numbers correct?
[01:53] <kruqnut> /dev/hda1               1       30400   244187968+   7  HPFS/NTFS
[01:53] <kruqnut> /dev/hda2           30401       30401        8032+  df  BootIt
[01:53] <kruqnut> /dev/hda1               1       30400   244187968+   7  HPFS/NTFS
[01:53] <kruqnut> /dev/hda2           30401       30401        8032+  df  BootIt
[01:53] <kruqnut> oops
[01:53] <Ubuntu> brb
[01:53] <kruqnut> sorry for spam
[01:53] <Johto> Evanlec: yes
[01:53] <kruqnut> thats what fdisk -l showed
[01:53] <Johto> Evanlec: with ide disks, hda,hdb,hdc with sata disk, sda,sdb,sdc...
[01:53] <Evanlec> Johto, okay, so what does hd0,0 mean?
[01:53] <kruqnut> that just showed my IDE drive
[01:53] <Blauhaut> My problem is :  when i start compiz fusion i lost my window topics
[01:53] <kruqnut> how to i get it to list my SATA drive?
[01:53] <Johto> Evanlec: that means first disk, first partition
[01:54] <Johto> Evanlec: as zero = 1
[01:54] <Tecumseh> Blauhaut: same problem here
[01:54] <Johto> 2 = 1
[01:54] <Evanlec> Johto, but i thot first disk was hda since thats the device
[01:54] <Johto> and so on, thats just grubs own thingy
[01:54] <g0dd3ss> hi everyone I am running feisty on a toshiba laptop. when my wireless doesn't connect, applications take liek 5-10 seconds to load, (ie. terminal, firefox, gimp, pretty much anything), but after my wifi connects they load as normal. does anyone know how i can fix this
[01:54] <Blauhaut> any help ?
[01:54] <Johto> Evanlec: grub is naming its own way
[01:54] <Evanlec> Johto, shouldnt it be hda,0 ?
[01:54] <Evanlec> oh ;p
[01:54] <Evanlec> lol
[01:54] <Johto> Evanlec: grub is another beast :D
[01:54] <Evanlec> so confusing lol
[01:54] <kruqnut> Pricechild, how do i get fdisk to list my SDA drive?
[01:55] <Johto> Evanlec: indeed :S
[01:55] <Meroigo> I put in a CD in my DVD-ROM drive and it says: http://static.pici.se/pictures/PdUWTcoAp.png (btw, it's the first time since I installed Ubuntu that I wanted to use a CD-ROM in it...)..
[01:55] <kruqnut> and why is my IDE drive listed as hda1 and hda2?
[01:55] <kruqnut> i need to find out what is hd0 and hd1
[01:55] <Ubuntu> coz hda is ide ?
[01:55] <Evanlec> so far i've just gotten by with determining lowest number and first letter in alphabet and saying that must be the first one!
[01:55] <Ubuntu> sda is sata ?
[01:55] <Johto> kruqnut: dont confuse two seperate thing !
[01:55] <Johto> kruqnut: GURB names differend than linux
[01:55] <kruqnut> yea but i want to know if hd0 is sda or hda
[01:55] <Evanlec> as if it wasnt complicated enough ;p
[01:55] <kruqnut> i know
[01:56] <Johto> hd0 is the whole disk !
[01:56] <kruqnut> but how do i find out what is gonna be what
[01:56] <kruqnut> because i think that is my problem last time
[01:56] <Johto> hd0,0 is the first partition
[01:56] <kruqnut> of which disk tho
[01:56] <kruqnut> the sda or the hda?
[01:56] <jgraham__> volution
[01:56] <kruqnut> im just gonna rip my ide drive out for the install
[01:56] <Johto> kruqnut: depends which is first in the BIOS
[01:56] <Evanlec> if its ide, hda, if its sata sda ?
[01:56] <berndfdr> kruqnut: see device.map in grub dir
[01:56] <kruqnut> then the sda will have to be HD0
[01:57] <Johto> kruqnut: you should definedly REMOVE other disk if you have two differend disk, if you are noob, so u dont acsidently whipe wrong stuff !
[01:57] <Evanlec> kruqnut, but if u plug ide drive in, it may before hd0
[01:57] <Evanlec> *become
[01:57] <kruqnut> hmm
[01:57] <kruqnut> ok in device.map
[01:57] <kruqnut> it says sda is hd1
[01:57] <kruqnut> i need sda to be hd0
[01:57] <Brykari> Bring back XP
[01:57] <kruqnut> so
[01:57] <Evanlec> so it is second
[01:57] <kruqnut> can i just switch that around in the file?
[01:57] <Johto> kruqnut: then you need to swithc the order in bios
[01:57] <tatters> is there a irc site for koffice
[01:58] <Johto> kruqnut: or in the grub settins
[01:58] <Evanlec> kruqnut, try checking bios hard drive load order?
[01:58] <kruqnut> it already is switched, doesn't seem to do anything
[01:58] <kruqnut> its switched in bios already
[01:58] <tatters> yup :(
[01:58] <Evanlec> oh
[01:58] <kruqnut> to load sata first, it just doesnt work lol
[01:58] <Evanlec> lol
[01:58] <kruqnut> how can i change grub settings
[01:58] <Johto> i would strongly recommend noobs to install theirs stuff with only one physical disk connected at time
[01:58] <Evanlec> well i think u might be right
[01:58] <Evanlec> Johto, and then use f12 to switch between widnows/linux?
[01:58] <kruqnut> johto will it be fine to plug the drive in after the install?
[01:59] <yagami> Can someone please help me with configuring fonts in vlc? I've tried everything with the 'fonts' preferences. but nothing happens. letters appear awfully big
[01:59] <yagami> and are all aliased
[01:59] <Johto> Evanlec: no, i mean initially to get your bearings...like not accsidently wiping your wrong dissk, or foobar your masterboot records with grub using wrong disk :P
[01:59] <Evanlec> oh gotcha
[02:00] <Evanlec> but i feel like u could run into more problems when u reocnnect that second drive
[02:00] <Johto> kruqnut: depends so much on the other variables u want to do ..too complex to tell here :I
[02:00] <still> hi all
[02:00] <Evanlec> especially in windows
[02:00] <Blauhaut> My problem is :  when i start compiz fusion i lost my window topics
[02:00] <Blauhaut> any help ?
[02:00] <Evanlec> windows sees a new hard drive, it wants to format it and some such nonsense
[02:00] <Johto> Evanlec: best way for noobs, TWO differnd machines !
[02:00] <Evanlec> true ;p
[02:00] <Johto> one linux machine, one windows machine LOL
[02:00] <marlun> How easy is it to access files that is shared on a windows machine, from ubuntu?
[02:01] <Johto> marlun: easy
[02:01] <marlun> What do I need to do?
[02:01] <yagami> marlun, you can select 'go' from the file browser menu, select network-
[02:01] <Johto> marlun: linux has this thing called "samba" which is like windows network share, you see linux shares like it would be a windows machine...
[02:01] <yagami> assuming that you have smb installed
[02:01] <kruqnut> bah i got xp and vista dualbooting fine already
[02:01] <Ubuntu> Hard disk drives are accessed over one of a number of bus types, including ATA (IDE, EIDE), Serial ATA (SATA), SCSI, SAS, and Fibre Channel.
[02:01] <Ubuntu> Hard disk drives are accessed over one of a number of bus types, including ATA (IDE, EIDE), Serial ATA (SATA), SCSI, SAS, and Fibre Channel.
[02:01] <Evanlec> Johto, okay so i really wanna get ubuntu installed again on SDB or HDB whatever, my second hard drive, im just concerned because last time it somehow caused Vista to give me a blue screen and be unbootable
[02:01] <berndfdr> Johto: Samba is irrelevant when accessing Windows shared files
[02:02] <Johto> Evanlec: yeah :I vista can freak ..noting new :D
[02:02] <berndfdr> Johto: it only confuses users, who believe they need to set up Samba
[02:02] <marlun> Johto, I don't want to access things on my linux machine from my windows machine, I want it the other way around :)
[02:02] <Evanlec> Johto, however, this couldbe because i screwed up that vista install by not giving it a hard disk controller driver during install
[02:03] <Johto> berndfdr: yes, but to other way, its needed
[02:03] <Evanlec> Johto, i mean, as long as windows boots, if i install ubuntu, the worst that can happen is a screwy MBR right?
[02:03] <Johto> Evanlec: yaeh, well i have had multiboot with two sepearte disks...
[02:03] <Ubuntu> evanlec
[02:03] <A2TeCaN_0\> hey
[02:03] <Johto> Evanlec: hda was windows disk, hdb was linux
[02:03] <Evanlec> right
[02:03] <Johto> Evanlec: hda had the grubloader
[02:03] <berndfdr> marlun: point your favourite file browser to the network shared volumes just like you do it in windows ;)
[02:04] <Johto> because hda was the first disk to bios read
[02:04] <Evanlec> u installed windows before linux right?
[02:04] <Johto> Evanlec: yeah
[02:04] <Evanlec> right okay
[02:04] <A2TeCaN_0\> anyone ever used fdisc to reformat a mp3?
[02:04] <marlun> berndfdr, yeah I got it to work =) thanks!
[02:04] <Johto> Evanlec: then during linux setup all the linux stuff was to go hdb, only the booloader to hda
[02:04] <Evanlec> right
[02:04] <Johto> Evanlec: to hda, not hda1...no numbers !
[02:04] <nenuccia> excuse, can someone tell me how can i convert music files .mod in .cda file format, for write them on a cd?
[02:05] <SpeCon> hi all i'm having some troubles with my network internet connection on ubuntu
[02:05] <SpeCon> To activate or deactivate network connections, select your connection, then click Activate/Deactivate
[02:05] <Johto> Evanlec: because you need to spesify only the hda(no numbers) so it goes to the disk's mbr(master boot record)
[02:05] <Evanlec> okay
[02:05] <SpeCon> i cannot activate or deactivate a connection ?
[02:05] <slvmchn> anyone have experience with ubuntu and gateway laptops? specifically t-series
[02:05] <Evanlec> gotcha
[02:05] <Bayo> come to blow.cdbr.org
[02:05] <slvmchn> intel chipset, core2duo centrino duo
[02:05] <Evanlec> Johto, is this possible using live cd with guided install?
[02:05] <Johto> Evanlec: and, many distribuins see that you have ur windowws already on the first disk, so usually its automaticly easy for grub
[02:05] <Evanlec> to specify that stuff?
[02:06] <Johto> Evanlec: i think you need to use the "manual" ..not sure what the automatic will do, it might hose the windows
[02:06] <Evanlec> yea, Johto and i've had this working before, but ever since i set up my disks as a RAID0 array, everythings been screwy
[02:06] <berndfdr> nenuccia: use a .mod player like Audacious/XMMS and activate the disk writer output plugin to save them as .wav - the rest should be trivial
[02:06] <Evanlec> i deleted the array
[02:06] <Johto> Evanlec: oh, raid...dont know much about raid's
[02:06] <Evanlec> but still things dont seem right
[02:06] <uber_alles> hello
[02:06] <nenuccia> berndfdr, ^^ thanck you very much, i'm going to try!
[02:07] <kruqnut> ok so the question here is
[02:07] <SpeCon> ??
[02:07] <SpeCon> To activate or deactivate network connections, select your connection, then click Activate/Deactivate  DOESN'T work people
[02:07] <maren_> aki estoy de nuevo
[02:07] <kruqnut> how do i install grub to the partition i am installing ubuntu to
[02:07] <Evanlec> Johto, is there any way to like see whats on your MBR exactly?
[02:08] <marlun> why is mp3s automaticly opened in totem movie player instead of in rythmbox?
[02:08] <Johto> Evanlec: you always want the grub to go to the first disk which is first in bios
[02:08] <Evanlec> because i swear somehow there are remnants of grub on there, even tho windows overwrote mbr
[02:08] <Evanlec> if there was a leftover grub on my second disk, it shouldnt affect anything right?
[02:08] <Johto> Evanlec: before you isntall linux, your mbr is in windows use,. then when u install grub, it overwrites it, then ur grub tells where to go, windwos or linux...
[02:09] <Evanlec> right i gotcha
[02:09] <Ubuntu> yep
[02:09] <Evanlec> but im saying, grub is somehow on the mbr already
[02:09] <Johto> Evanlec: oh
[02:09] <dennda> marlun: you can change that behaviour
[02:09] <Evanlec> i swear, before vista loads, i see text that is grub text
[02:09] <Ubuntu> ok
[02:09] <Evanlec> it flashes very quickly, but im certain
[02:09] <Johto> Evanlec: well...there was some way to "remove" it or reset..dont remember the commands
[02:09] <maren_> mmmm
[02:09] <Evanlec> then the vista splash screen comes up
[02:09] <Ubuntu> so choose which OS u want
[02:10] <maren_> alguien ha instalado windows desde ubuntu?
[02:10] <dennda> marlun: just right click any mp3 file, preferences, open with. that's it
[02:10] <Evanlec> Ubuntu, no, there is no menu or anything, it just flashes real quick before windows boot
[02:10] <sn0> !es | maren_
[02:10] <Johto> Evanlec: tried to press ctrl?
[02:10] <ubotu> maren_: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[02:10] <Evanlec> windows is the only thing on here
[02:10] <Johto> Evanlec: or esc
[02:10] <Evanlec> Johto, press ctrl when?
[02:10] <Johto> Evanlec: when it flashes
[02:10] <Evanlec> woudl that halt it?
[02:10] <Evanlec> maybe?
[02:10] <Johto> Evanlec: or gives u the menu and stuff
[02:10] <Evanlec> so i could actually see what it was saying
[02:10] <Evanlec> ah
[02:11] <Ubuntu> evanlec format both drives after safing ya files u need
[02:11] <Evanlec> good idea, i'll try that
[02:11] <Ashvalatore> haha
[02:11] <Ubuntu> install windows to hdb
[02:11] <Johto> Evanlec: anyway, dont remember..but you can just re-install the grub during the linux installation
[02:11] <Ubuntu> with hdb set to slave
[02:11] <Johto> Ubuntu: NO
[02:11] <Ubuntu> and then hda set to master install ubuntu
[02:11] <Ashvalatore> pederasi :P
[02:11] <Evanlec> Ubuntu, both SATA drives
[02:11] <Johto> another way around !
[02:11] <Ubuntu> then u might have to press 12 etc for boot menu
[02:11] <Johto> Evanlec: ide or sata?
[02:11] <Ubuntu> then u got grub and off u go
[02:11] <Evanlec> both sata
[02:11] <Ubuntu> just one option
[02:12] <Johto> Evanlec: ok, then they are NOT hda,hdb,hdc...
[02:12] <Ubuntu> isnt this all on google the different ways
[02:12] <Evanlec> i dont want to have to press f12 everytime
[02:12] <Johto> Evanlec: then they are sda,sdb,sdc
[02:12] -Ashvalatore:#ubuntu- NOOBS
[02:12] <Evanlec> Johto, right
[02:12] <Johto> Evanlec: install windows for the first disk(sda) ...
[02:12] <Johto> Evanlec: linux to sdb
[02:12] <Evanlec> windows already installed, really odnt wanna reinstall AGAIn
[02:12] <Johto> Evanlec: grub to the first disks' mbr(sda)
[02:12] <Johto> Evanlec: oh
[02:12] <Johto> Evanlec: then dont worrry!
[02:12] <Evanlec> re-installed about 6 times in the past few days lol, getting sick of it

[02:13] <Evanlec> yea, already
[02:13] <Johto> lol
[02:13] <Evanlec> i think im just gonna bite the bullet
[02:13] <Johto> Evanlec: but make sure your windows is the sda
[02:13] <doitux|mob> can anybody tell me how to install boost-filesystem-dev.1.34 on ubuntu feisty?
[02:13] <Ubuntu> no i dont want to press f12
[02:13] <Ubuntu> maybe someone can help thenm
[02:13] <Evanlec> Ubuntu, i'd rather not have to press f12 EVERY time my computer boots up to change OS
[02:14] <Ubuntu> no either do i
[02:14] <Evanlec> ok
[02:14] <Johto> lol damn noobs :I
[02:14] <Evanlec> ur just saying on the first boot?

[02:14] <Ubuntu> try that
[02:14] <Evanlec> alright
[02:14] <kruqnut> im confused
[02:14] <kruqnut> im supposed to click advanced
[02:14] <Johto> Ubuntu: well, thats how i have always done it if i had two disks...windows to the first disk, linux to second...
[02:14] <Ubuntu> me too
[02:14] <Ubuntu> lol
[02:14] <kruqnut> and specify where i want grub installed
[02:14] <g0dd3ss> hi everyone I am running feisty on a toshiba laptop. when my wireless doesn't connect, applications take liek 5-10 seconds to load, (ie. terminal, firefox, gimp, pretty much anything), but after my wifi connects they load as normal. does anyone know how i can fix this
[02:14] <Ubuntu> sorry guys
[02:15] <kruqnut> im not sure where im supposed to put it to boot off the first sector fo the partition
[02:15] <wolfman> yo
[02:15] <Johto> Ubuntu: pretty logical, install the first operative system first to the first disk, second to the second LOL
[02:15] <Ubuntu> yeah i did linux 1st windows secong
[02:15] <tatters> I installled linux on window box otherday it used largest free space then added windows to grub so no matter what your partiton scheme is is just uses free space as long as there enough
[02:15] <Ubuntu> but the reason is coz i didnt have a spare jumper to set the linux disk to slave
[02:15] <Ubuntu> :D)
[02:15] <Ubuntu> sorry i should have explained that bit
[02:15] <Johto> Ubuntu: yeah, many guides tell windows first, beause then grub usually sees it and makes the multiboot stuff
[02:15] <Ubuntu> so johto
[02:16] <kruqnut> i have to use a loader other than grub because i have to hid the vista partition when i boot windows XP
[02:16] <Evanlec> yeea windows first generally good idea it seems
[02:16] <Johto> Ubuntu: but if not, you can alkways add the windows boot lines after to the grub inside linix
[02:16] <Ubuntu> are u saying that it would usually be better to install windows to hDA and linux to HDB ?
[02:16] <kruqnut> and linux has to be loaded with grub, the bootloader wont load linux directly
[02:16] <Ubuntu> for the grub to work proper

[02:16] <kruqnut> so i have to install Grub on the partition and not the MBR
[02:16] <SPArk65> Hi all. can someone help me with ndiswrapper?
[02:16] <Ubuntu> coz with pclos the grub works fine the opposite on my system but not with debian or ubuntu
[02:16] <Ubuntu> ??
[02:16] <Ubuntu> they all vary
[02:16] <Evanlec> Ubuntu, the most painless way i think
[02:16] <Johto> kruqnut: you want to isntall the grub to the first DISK
[02:17] <tatters> as long as you got free space on hard drive ubuntu will makkke it own partion no need to create an extra partition first
[02:17] <Ubuntu> lol
[02:17] <Ubuntu> this is crazy
[02:17] <KenSentMe> My Ubuntu system (gutsy) is a bit slow starting up after logging in. How can i see what keeps the system busy during startup?
[02:17] <Ubuntu> im gonna invent something to wipe this theory of HDs
[02:17] <Johto> kruqnut: not to any "partition", no numbers, just the disk, if your first disk(windows disk) is sda, you install grub to sda, not to sda1
[02:17] <SPArk65> need help
[02:17] <SPArk65> please
[02:17] <Ubuntu> lets redesign the computer thats the 1st blinking start i tell ya!!!
[02:17] <kruqnut> then it will goto my MBR johto
[02:17] <Johto> grub goes TO NO PARTITION, it goes to the ROOT of the disk(mbr, master boot record)
[02:18] <kruqnut> NO its not going there
[02:18] <Ubuntu> if we get that right in 2007 then the os might be easier
[02:18] <Ubuntu> :D
[02:18] <Evanlec> right, the mbr is kinda like its own partition right?
[02:18] -Ashvalatore:#ubuntu- Noobs !
[02:18] <IrishDave> hey, does anyone know of a USB or PCMCIA wireless card that works with ubuntu?
[02:18] <kruqnut> but i can't use the MBR
[02:18] <Johto> Evanlec: yeah, a tiny "space" what bios loads
[02:18] <Evanlec> yea
[02:18] <Ubuntu> mbr is in windows correct ?
[02:18] <Ubuntu> win mbr ?
[02:18] <Johto> Ubuntu: NO
[02:18] <Ubuntu> ok
[02:18] <Evanlec> mbr is for all OS i believe?
[02:18] <kruqnut> obviously you guys don't have that much experience with GRUB's alternate install methods
[02:18] <Ashvalatore> try to put disk in ur ass :D
[02:18] <Ubuntu> linux disk mbr ?
[02:18] <Evanlec> or atleast, windows and linux
[02:18] <Ubuntu> lol
[02:18] <Johto> Ubuntu: please!

[02:19] <zippy__> kruqnut, you can install ubuntu to root, but its recommended to install to mbr
[02:20] <Ubuntu> god dam geeks this is no way for help
[02:20] <kruqnut> yea i don't want GRUB on MBR
[02:20] <Ubuntu> lol
[02:20] <Johto> mbr is used for bios to start loading any disk, the sofware inside mbr then tells what opeative system is started...
[02:20] <kruqnut> yea i want to install GRUB to the root directory
[02:20] <Ubuntu> just take it slow and work it out
[02:20] <kruqnut> im at install

[02:20] <Johto> kruqnut: if your first disk(windows disk) is named sda, then put it to sda ..no sda1 and crap
[02:20] <Ubuntu> i was thinking about doing some decent cd covers etc for ubuntu
[02:21] <kruqnut> (hd0) is whats in there by default
[02:21] <Ubuntu> im surprised the lack of em
[02:21] <Poison> Has any one els had problems with wine and ubuntu
[02:21] <kruqnut> so i want to put
[02:21] <Ubuntu> and the ones that are on gnome look etc
[02:21] <Johto> hd0 is the FIRST DISK
[02:21] <kruqnut> (hd0,0) to install to the first partition?
[02:21] <Ubuntu> are not even pre cd size fits
[02:21] <Ubuntu> terrible
[02:21] <Ubuntu> come on people
[02:21] <zippy__> kruqnut, correct

[02:21] <Ubuntu> the problem is no organisation or too much too do
[02:21] <Johto> no no no, grub does not INSTALL INTO the first parttion, it istalls to hd0, then it TELLS to load the hd0.0
[02:22] <kruqnut> johto, you don't know what im trying to do obviously
[02:22] <Ubuntu> the grub only installs to the hdo 1st drive
[02:22] <zippyy> johto, you can install either to mbr or root partition
[02:22] <SPArk65> Johto right
[02:22] <kruqnut> theres other options for grub other than the MBR install
[02:22] <Johto> kruqnut: no shit sherlock? :D
[02:22] <kruqnut> google it
[02:22] <tatters> it mainly the card chipset you looking for with wireless I got 3 cards pcmcia, pci, and usb all rt2500 chipset all worked out the box untill feisty
[02:22] <Ubuntu> this is crazy
[02:22] <Ubuntu> im going to read on grub  for benefits
[02:22] <kruqnut> i cannot install to the MBR and triple boot vist/xp/and linux correctly
[02:22] <Ubuntu> i think everyone else should

[02:22] <Ubuntu> lol
[02:22] <IrishDave> tatters: rt2500 cards dont do wpa :s

[02:23] <Ubuntu> lol
[02:23] <Jack_Sparrow> kruqnut: ae you wanting to install grub to the /root partiton and have your windows bootloader chainload linux from there..?
[02:23] <tatters> the e
[02:23] <Johto> yeah people, lets all go away and raed the whole grub documentation :S
[02:23] <trebor_home> hi. i read (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported), that wlan-usb-stick netgear wg111 v2 would work "out-of-the-box" with rtl8187 driver. can someone confirm this?
[02:23] <kruqnut> not my windows bootloader
[02:23] <kruqnut> my BootIT NG loader
[02:23] <trebor_home> i meant ootb in feisty.
[02:23] <Ubuntu> johto i dont insuly ya intelligence i know u the MAN !!! hoOAH!
[02:23] <SPArk65> Ubuntu: you have to try the next one: install grub to your hd0 and mbr, and then delete it from hd0. It will be still trying to load grub but will find any files.
[02:23] <tatters> the new drivers do I beleive but I use em manly for injection
[02:23] <kruqnut> which im using to hide the vista partition while XP loads
[02:23] <Ubuntu> i love ya dudes
[02:23] <SPArk65> i had such a problam once
[02:23] <Johto> Ubuntu: :S heh thanks
[02:23] <kruqnut> because XP fucks up vista if you don't hide the partition
[02:23] <tatters> nn new drivers doooont do injection
[02:23] <Lhademmor> On the wishlist: Cleanup the IdeaPool
[02:23] <Jack_Sparrow> kruqnut: Ok.. Non-grub bootloader that is currently loading windows.

[02:23] <kruqnut> it also allows me to have more than 4 primary partitions
[02:24] <kruqnut> yea
[02:24] <kruqnut> and the non bootloader needs grub to boot linux
[02:24] <kruqnut> so i have to put grub somewhere the bootloader can access it
[02:24] <tatters> they used to be ra0 but now wlan0
[02:24] <g0dd3ss> hi everyone I am running feisty on a toshiba laptop. when my wireless doesn't connect, applications take liek 5-10 seconds to load, (ie. terminal, firefox, gimp, pretty much anything), but after my wifi connects they load as normal. does anyone know how i can fix this
[02:24] <kruqnut> which is the linux partition
[02:24] <Ubuntu> guys i saw a great article about installing ubuntu vista win xp win 9x etc

[02:25] <Ubuntu> :D)
[02:25] <IrishDave> tatters: where do i get new driver? is that not using ndiswrapper?
[02:25] <IdleOne> SPArk65: what application and what file type?
[02:25] <trebor_home> someone using netgear wg111 (v2) usb-stick?
[02:25] <kruqnut> i got it now i think ubuntu
[02:25] <IrishDave> tatters: does it work with networkmanager and with wpa?
[02:25] <kruqnut> i just had to change hd0 to hd0,0
[02:25] <SPArk65> IdleOne: i want to remove ndiswrapper
[02:25] <kruqnut> thats all i wanted to know
[02:25] <Jack_Sparrow> kruqnut: the ub install should offer to let you install grub to the partition as long as you know how to hit it with the other bootloader
[02:25] <SPArk65> IdleOne: and reinstall it then
[02:26] <kruqnut> yea the other bootloader takes care of it fine
 ("does anyone know PHP at all ") </php>
[02:26] <tatters> I dont use those for my wireless network I use ipw2400 which works well with wpa
[02:26] <Ubuntu> lol
[02:26] <kruqnut> i was having a problem with my drives being read only and not unmountable on my last install attempt
[02:26] <oandrew> i want to use a keygen.pl to make my conexant winmodem work at 56kbps >>>am i BAD ??

[02:26] <IrishDave> i got a laptop with builtin rt2500 that i want to make work straightforward for a friend with networkmanager but didnt manage to get rt2500 card working with networkmanager tatters
[02:26] <Ubuntu> OK IM FINDING THIS INSTALL ARTICLE BE BACK IN 5 YEARS
[02:26] <Johto> Ubuntu: LOL
[02:26] <kruqnut> last time i installed ubuntu then learned the bootloader needed to be on the partition for my other bootloader ot work
[02:27] <tatters> they work out the box with dapper
[02:27] <oandrew>  '<
[02:27] <kruqnut> so i used a command fromt he grub console to install it on the partition
[02:27] <kruqnut> but since i was reinstalling i wanted to figure out how to install grub to the partition during the install
[02:27] <kruqnut> but everyone thought it was impossible :P

[02:30] <kruqnut> if you have vista installed
[02:30] <kruqnut> and you boot xp
[02:30] <IdleOne> Ubuntu: thats fine but no need to paste it 3/4 times ONE time will siffice

[02:40] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[02:40] <kruqnut> bah lol
[02:41] <tatters> I set up unison and ssh to try to sync my laptop and desktop which both have kofice installed,finding it difficult to know what to filter out and what to include, is there a way to create a single file to gather all required settings,data etc or an maybe a file for this already exists?

[02:41] <Filthpig> allright, I have two networking problems: The first and most important one: everytime I reboot, iptables are set to DROP packages, instead of ACCEPT, so each time I have to open a terminal and type sudo iptables -F (to flush iptables) and then sudo iptables -P INPUT/OUTPUT ACCEPT to get online. Can anybody help me out with this?

[02:45] <kruqnut> i wish i could get a readout of what the supposed "errors" were
[02:45] <Ubuntu> noob question please
[02:45] <Johto> kruqnut: have you tried to remove those stuff from the fstab?
[02:45] <kruqnut> everything is read only
[02:45] <Johto> kruqnut: the error and read only stuff

[02:45] <Johto> kruqnut: oh
[02:46] <zhahak> I am trying to install gimpshop 32 bit on ubuntu fawn 64 bit is this possible? are there any 64 bit version of gimpshop?
[02:46] <kruqnut> maybe thru the terminal in root
[02:46] <kruqnut> or if i logged in as root in the GUI i dunno
[02:46] <Johto> kruqnut: boot from live-cd, mount the partition isnide the live-cd, then edit it then
[02:46] <kruqnut> i don't know how to use the terminal that well
[02:46] <Johto> kruqnut: too bad :I
[02:46] <Johto> terminal for the win!
[02:46] <kruqnut> i can't go root on the GUI?
[02:46] <Psychomethod> erm hey guys ive got to dl this XFree86 for the ATI driver, but i cant find XFree86 in the synaptic package manager :S
[02:47] <Johto> kruqnut: doesnt matter, you can always open terminal inside gui ..then be root, learn the terminal
[02:47] <Ziroda1> Psychomethod: is this the fglrx driver?
[02:47] <kruqnut> im root in the terminal right now
[02:47] <kruqnut> does that make me root for the GUI?
[02:47] <Psychomethod> the 8.40.4 version
[02:47] <vreer> kruqnut: why would you?
[02:47] <kruqnut> would i what?
[02:47] <zhahak> someone here got ubuntu fawn 64 bit?
[02:48] <Johto> kruqnut: yes yes but you cannot do any modifying because its read-only, boot from live-cd, then mount the right partition, then edit the fsab
[02:48] <Johto> fstab
[02:48] <vreer> root is evil ;o)
[02:48] <Ziroda1> Psychomethod: where are you getting this driver?
[02:48] <Psychomethod> ive got 8.35.5,
[02:48] <Psychomethod> the amd ati site
[02:48] <kruqnut> ok brb
[02:48] <vreer> ow, cd
[02:48] <Psychomethod> i just cant for the life of me install the new driver :S
[02:48] <Jack_Sparrow> kruqnut: running as root can lead to trouble...  gkduso gedit is an example of running a gui app as root
[02:48] <Psychomethod> i dl it, i try run it, and bam, says something i cant rememebr exactly, and doesnt wnat to run it
[02:49] <Ziroda1> Psychomethod: there is a much easier ubuntu way to install that driver. that way is not supported

[02:52] <Gosha> I accidently removed alot of my packages when installing some new library. First of I wonder, is there some log for what apt-get has done? The other question is harder to be specified on; I get random system beeps now and then since I accidently removed those packages, I don
[02:52] <Gosha> 't like that
[02:52] <mygun99> hello
[02:52] <tatters> in my  /home/folder/.kde/apps/  kate folder is     owned by root is that correct?
[02:52] <Esteth> I'm looking for a music player with live search, the ability to play straight from the library, and that is able to monitor a folder and keep my library consistent with it. Does anyone have suggestions? Also, a separate tool to remove duplicate tracks in a folder hierarchy would be lovely.
[02:52] <zhahak> ubotu: okey neve happend to me any way
[02:52] <Johto> EspenG: amarok
[02:53] <Johto> Esteth: amarok

[02:53] <Esteth> Johto: Ok. I'm using banshee at the moment, do i need to install new codecs to use amarok? if so, what packages are these?
[02:54] <Psychomethod> i hope the new ati driver thats going to be released soon lets me use compiz-fusion :S i canot get it to work at all, ive tried so many different ways, but nothing works :S
[02:54] <kruqnut> ok im on live cd now
[02:54] <Esteth> Psychomethod: As far as i know, you need to use XGL on ati to get compositing.
[02:54] <kruqnut> the drive is still read only and i don't have permission to access it
[02:55] <Psychomethod> sorry by compositing do you mean the cube desktop, again sorry im still new to this
[02:55] <Psychomethod> all i want is the flash effects, it installs and everything, but i get no special effects
[02:55] <Gosha> there was another system beep, I didn't even do anything.
[02:55] <Esteth> Psychomethod: Yes. For beryl, compiz, avant, etc... to work, you need compositing. the people in #ubuntu-effects should be able to give you a hand.
[02:55] <Jack_Sparrow> kruqnut: Can you write to anything in /home/yournick?
[02:56] <kruqnut> im on livecd now
[02:56] <Psychomethod> kk ty
[02:56] <kruqnut> the whole drive is read only
[02:57] <Jack_Sparrow> kruqnut: Just a thought, just because you found some bootloader that lets you have more than 4 primary partitions dosent mean eveything you try to install will agree
[02:57] <kruqnut> i get this when trying to edit fstab using gksudo

[02:58] <Jack_Sparrow> kruqnut: try gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
[02:58] <predaeus> Filthpig, have you installed some firewall settings frontend to iptables?
[02:58] <kruqnut> that pulls up the live cd fstab file
[02:58] <kruqnut> im tyring to edit the one i mounted from the linux installation
[02:58] <Jack_Sparrow> kruqnut: then browse to it
[02:59] <kruqnut> i did
[02:59] <kruqnut> then what?
[02:59] <Johto> kruqnut: uh
[02:59] <kruqnut> its read only, so when i save it rejects it
[02:59] <Johto> kruqnut: do you have the sda1 mounted ?
[02:59] <kruqnut> yes its mounted in /media/disk
[03:00] <Johto> kruqnut: go to terminal
[03:00] <markelhas> hi ppl how can i disable some tools to start with my session
[03:00] <Filthpig> predaeus: I had firestarter installed, but that never caused a problem, the first time I can remember having this problem was after inserting a PCI wlan card (d-link, using atheros chipset)
[03:00] <Johto> kruqnut: and do "sudo -i"
[03:00] <Filthpig> I've removed that card, but the problem still remains
[03:00] <Johto> kruqnut: then you will be root the whole time inside the terminal you can see #
[03:00] <kruqnut> aha
[03:00] <Johto> kruqnut: sorry, do a "sudo su"
[03:00] <kruqnut> got it open now
[03:00] <kruqnut> ok
[03:00] <kruqnut> what do i change it to
[03:00] <kruqnut> i see the line
[03:01] <markelhas> how can i disable some tools to start with my session?
[03:01] <kruqnut> defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1
[03:01] <Johto> kruqnut: are you using now some editor?
[03:01] <Johto> remove the "errors=remount-ro"
[03:01] <kruqnut> don't put rw in?
[03:01] <kruqnut> defaults should cover that?
[03:01] <Johto> put rw
[03:02] <kruqnut> so
[03:02] <kruqnut> defaults,rw
[03:02] <kruqnut> like that?
[03:02] <Johto> kruqnut: also..after you save the file, you could try and do a checkdisk
[03:02] <kruqnut> or a space after the comma
[03:02] <Johto> kruqnut: you do not need the rw
[03:02] <Johto> only defaults, 0    1
[03:02] <kruqnut> then defaults with no comma? or the comma? lol
[03:03] <Johto> kraut: dafaults <tab> 0 <tab> 1
[03:03] <markelhas> how can i disable some tools to start with my session? any tips!
[03:03] <kruqnut> ok
[03:03] <kruqnut> saving it now
[03:03] <kruqnut> how do i do checkdisk?
[03:03] <Johto> kruqnut: ok, keep in terminal
[03:03] <kruqnut> like this?
[03:03] <Johto> kruqnut: wait a sec
[03:04] <Jack_Sparrow> markelhas: you need to write a better question about what you are trying to do
[03:04] <kruqnut> fsck -t ext3 /dev/sda1?
[03:04] <Johto> kruqnut: you need to unmount it first
[03:04] <kruqnut> ok
[03:04] <Johto> kruqnut: go to "cd /"
[03:04] <Johto> kruqnut: then umount /dev/sda1
[03:04] <kruqnut> done
[03:04] <markelhas> Jack_Sparrow, humm when i do a login there are several tools that are loaded, like clock, etc, i want to disable some of them.
[03:05] <kruqnut> i understand the whole mounting thing, just i don't know how to troubleshoot linux well yet :)
[03:05] <Johto> kruqnut: try this: fsck.ext3 /dev/sda1
[03:05] <markelhas> Jack_Sparrow, for example i don't want desktop search
[03:05] <abhi_> how can I ban certain websites being opened in my ubuntu 7.04?
[03:05] <Jack_Sparrow> gconf-editor might do what you want
[03:05] <markelhas> Jack_Sparrow, how can i disable this!
[03:06] <kruqnut> /dev/sda1: clean, 98524/1602496 files, 568489/3198943 blocks
[03:06] <Johto> kruqnut: ok, now its "ok"
[03:06] <kruqnut> ok
[03:06] <Johto> kruqnut: try now reboot witjout cd
[03:06] <kruqnut> now i should try to reboot
[03:06] <kruqnut> ok
[03:06] <Jack_Sparrow> markelhas: some of those you can just right click and remove from panel
[03:06] <kruqnut> brb
[03:06] <predaeus> Filthpig, maybe the firestarter settings default to DROP and still remain somewhere although firestarter was uninstalled.
[03:06] <markelhas> Jack_Sparrow, i've done that but in the next login they still there!!!!
[03:07] <Jack_Sparrow> markelhas: they use the editor

[03:07] <IanLiu> Error 1: Filename must be either an absolute pathname or blocklist
[03:07] <IanLiu> How can I do this?
[03:07] <predaeus> Filthpig, as far as I know the iptables settings default to being empty, so something must be setting them on boot.

[03:10] <Filthpig> and ipmasq
[03:10] <Johto> abhi_: you could do a transparent proxy and use privoxy to filter out some addresses
[03:10] <Filthpig> should I remove the firestarter script then?
[03:10] <kruqnut> ok the drive is still read only, but the fstab doesnt say the same thing still
[03:10] <shay_cyber> hi all, just finshed to install ubuntu server 7.04 64 bit version on 2 gb ram (becouse with more than 2gb ubuntu stuck), but the problem is still here , when i am adding more ram the ubunto get stuck.. i read in some forums and they talking about kernel compilation .. can someone help me with this plz ?
[03:10] <Johto> kruqnut: very weird
[03:10] <kruqnut> it just says defaults
[03:10] <Johto> kruqnut: i bet your disks are somehow "messed"
[03:10] <abhi_> Johto, : could u pls explain.
[03:11] <Johto> abhi_: no
[03:11] <Johto> abhi_: too complex
[03:11] <predaeus> Filthpig, probably just rename it to something like originalfilename.bak to try if it has no negative effects
[03:11] <kruqnut> windows works fine on them :/
[03:11] <Johto> abhi_: look google about transparent proxy (squid) and privoxy

[03:11] <kruqnut> what would be the command to change the hard drive options as root
[03:11] <kruqnut> would i have to unmount it and remount it to make it RW?
[03:12] <shay_cyber> hi all, just finshed to install ubuntu server 7.04 64 bit version on 2 gb ram (becouse with more than 2gb ubuntu stuck), but the problem is still here , when i am adding more ram the ubunto get stuck.. i read in some forums and they talking about kernel compilation .. can someone help me with this plz ? someone plz can tell me what kernel i need to get .. and how i install it ?
[03:12] <kruqnut> ok if i gksude gedit it allows me to write to the drive
[03:12] <Johto> kruqnut: do a "dmesg | grep sda" and "dmesg | grep mount" and pastebin them
[03:12] <kruqnut> but how do i make the drive set to R/W by default so i don't have to hit a command everytime
[03:12] <Jack_Sparrow> kruqnut: Do you understand basic permissions under linux?
[03:12] <shironeko> Yes it does, Because you open the gedit program with Administrator rights
[03:13] <Johto> kruqnut: you obviously have somehting very weird going on...
[03:13] <JdGordon> I've just installed kubutnu-amd64 and for some reason I get no console output? X works fine, but if i kill X and try changeing to a console the screen is blank
[03:13] <Johto> kruqnut: your issue is NOT normal
[03:13] <kruqnut> no i don't understand permissions in linux
[03:13] <markelhas> Jack_Sparrow, can't find the tools that i want to disable
[03:13] <shironeko> Kruqnut. Files on Hard drive, except your home folder, are protected
[03:13] <shironeko> If you want to write on them, you have to be administrator
[03:13] <markelhas> <Is there another way to do this!?
[03:13] <kruqnut> how do i become administrator
[03:13] <shironeko> with the Sudo command
[03:14] <markelhas> Jack_Sparrow, Is there another way to do this!?
[03:14] <Johto> kruqnut: can you write to your home folder?
[03:14] <kruqnut> theres no way to turn admin on for my whole session?
[03:14] <shironeko> didn't you notice that it asks for your password?
[03:14] <Johto> kruqnut: what are you talking about???
[03:14] <Johto> kruqnut: LOOOL
[03:14] <shironeko> Yes there is
[03:14] <Jack_Sparrow> kruqnut: You dont want to run as root
[03:14] <Johto> kruqnut: YOU DONT USE linux as root
[03:14] <shironeko> but it is NOT recommended, since it is very dangerous
[03:14] <kruqnut> yea i can edit the home folder
[03:14] <ompaul> kruqnut, you never want to run as that
[03:14] <zsh> are the repos down or do I have problems on my end?
[03:14] <Johto> kruqnut: OK; then there IS NO PROBLEM DAMN !
[03:14] <kruqnut> im just not used to that amount of protection on my own files
[03:14] <predaeus> JdGordon, does changing to a console without killing X work? e.g. ctrl-alt-F1 and then back to X with alt-f7?
[03:14] <nenuccia> excuse me, can someone tell me a good audio file format converter? (.mod --> .wav/mp3/cda)
[03:14] <kruqnut> sorry lol
[03:15] <JdGordon> predaeus: yes
[03:15] <kruqnut> /slap self
[03:15] <shironeko> Kruqnut
[03:15] <shironeko> look
[03:15] <Johto> kruqnut: all this time and you wasted my time with that kinda issue FUCKDSFS:..
[03:15] <predaeus> JdGordon, hm weird
[03:15] <shironeko> let's do the following ok?
[03:15] <shironeko> this will help you
[03:15] <kruqnut> well the whole reason i was worried about the read only
[03:15] <predaeus> JdGordon, so if X fails to load due to driver probs or so you are stuck?
[03:15] <kruqnut> was because i tried to install nvidia drivers
[03:15] <kruqnut> and the xserver crashed because it couldn't load them
[03:15] <JdGordon> predaeus: yep. is this a known problem?
[03:15] <Johto> kruqnut: PLEASE ready a basic unix/linux guide, this is not windows !!!11
[03:16] <kruqnut> so i thoguht maybe i was having a problem installing system files because of read only status
[03:16] <Jack_Sparrow> kruqnut: How did you try to install those drivers?
[03:16] <predaeus> JdGordon, I don't know, probably scan launchpad for bug reports and also ask in #kubuntu

[03:16] <kruqnut> ubuntu automatically installed them when i treid to change my screen resolution
[03:16] <kruqnut> then i rebooted and x server crashed on me and left me at a terminal
[03:16] <Johto> kruqnut: read about linux filesystem and file permisssions so you understand its normal to not be abple to write outisde the current user homefolder
[03:17] <Jack_Sparrow> kruqnut: No.. it did not try to instll the restricted drives when you tried to change screen res
[03:17] <cornell> Hi Jack_Sparrow, got it working... thanks so much for your help last evening :-)
[03:17] <ompaul> kruqnut, (A) reinstall (B) then with a most basic of systems come here and ask about drivers, it is very very easy but you went off and made it hard and who knows what other damage you have done to your system so do what I suggested in (A) and (B)
[03:17] <jb47> hello
[03:17] <Johto> somebody else can continue, i have no energy left :I
[03:17] <shironeko> Kruqnut, you maybe want to create a Gksudo Nautilus Launcher on the Menu
[03:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Hey cornell how did it go
[03:17] <kruqnut> well i tried to do something with my display
[03:17] <kruqnut> and ubuntu downloaded nvidia drivers
[03:17] <Jack_Sparrow> cornell: Glad you got it... sorry it took so long
[03:17] <markelhas> how can i disable some tools that starts with my session? any tips!
[03:17] <shironeko> this will open the Nautilus (explorer) with admin rights
[03:17] <shironeko> Markelhas
[03:18] <kruqnut> ompaul im on a fresh install right now
[03:18] <yotam> hi all, does anybody know about a way to manage an svn repository via gui?
[03:18] <shironeko> follow me,
[03:18] <shironeko> go to:
[03:18] <markelhas> shironeko, yes!
[03:18] <shironeko> system > Preferences > Sessions
[03:18] <ompaul> kruqnut, go to the beginning of this process it will take you less time than you have -- yiou have edited things on it - played around as root (if we are to believe your actions and requests) so no it is not fresh
[03:18] <markelhas> shironeko, yes
[03:18] <cornell> Changed the AGP aperture, continued with boot to recovery, did the dpkg thing, autodetected, accepted defaults, except chose medium.  Picked the resolution the monitor recommended, startx, and good to go.
[03:18] <shironeko> There you will find a list of start applications. And you can edit them
[03:19] <kruqnut> ompaul, my fstab after a fresh install contained the line "errors-ro"
[03:19] <Jack_Sparrow> cornell: Great.... kinda like I planned it that way
[03:19] <kruqnut> johto told me that this was an issue
[03:19] <kruqnut> so i removed that line, that is all i have changed
[03:19] <cornell> Yup, Jack_Sparrow, just like you planned it ;-)
[03:19] <shironeko> you better don't remove anything you don't know about XD
[03:19] <ompaul> kruqnut, so that should be there
[03:20] <Jack_Sparrow> cornell: Just lucky I had one of those boxes here and had already done it.
[03:20] <kruqnut> well can someone link me back that pastebin and i can just add it back on
[03:20] <markelhas> shironeko, i've removed them from there but they still being load at login :|
[03:20] <Filthpig> predaeus: cool, it worked :)
[03:20] <Filthpig> thanks :D
[03:20] <Jack_Sparrow> cornell: Any other issues or good to go for now
[03:20] <cornell> I knew, if I found someone with one of them, who'd be willing to help, the solution would be found, Jack_Sparrow
[03:20] <shironeko> Is it a System application?
[03:20] <predaeus> Filthpig, you are welcome
[03:20] <kruqnut> on a side not, on my first install, before i touched anything, when i installed the nvidia drivers ubuntu prompted me to, x server crashed when i rebooted
[03:21] <BernardB> !beryl
[03:21] <ubotu> beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. Help in #ubuntu-effects
[03:21] <shironeko> May I know what program you want to delete from the list?
[03:21] <cornell> Um... not with this machine.  Still have a problem with my AMD 64, firefox and sitebar.  But that's another story, Jack_Sparrow
[03:21] <Jack_Sparrow> cornell: Find an extra stick of ram when you can.. It will help alot
[03:21] <markelhas> shironeko, desktop search and awn
[03:21] <kruqnut> do you think the linux drivers provided by nvidia itself may have a higher chance of success?
[03:22] <pawan> hi
[03:22] <markelhas> shironeko, be right back
[03:22] <ompaul> kruqnut, no, I think doing it the right way in ubuntu is the right way of doing it and has the highest chance of success
[03:22] <cornell> Will do, Jack_Sparrow
[03:22] <shironeko> ok
[03:22] <kruqnut> well i tried the "right way" and it wouldn't work
[03:22] <ompaul> kruqnut, what version of ubuntu are you using?
[03:22] <StoneNewt> I'm going insane, I remember there's a whole section dealing with the use of  restrictedformats specifically for kubuntu/kde rather than ubuntu/gnome but I'll be damned ifI can find it! Can anyone point me in the right direction?
[03:23] <kruqnut> 7.0.4
[03:23] <predaeus> kruqnut, what graphics card do you own?
[03:23] <kruqnut> 8800gts 640meg
[03:23] <Filthpig> now over to my second problem: I have a Linksys WUSB54GC wlan adapter using the rt73 chipset. Ubuntu wants to use the rt73usb driver, but that doesn't work, so I followed this tutorial http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=270756&highlight=WUA-1340 to set things straight, and it worked beautifully...last night. After rebooting the usb device shows up as a wired connection, and does not get me connected to the net

[03:23] <ahmed> in kde the fonts are very large ?
[03:23] <predaeus> kruqnut, as far as I know the 8800 is not supported by the feisty nvidia drivers and you need to install nvidia drivers by hand, but I am not sure better double check in the forums and so on.
[03:23] <ahmed> any help
[03:24] <ahmed> in kde the fonts are very large , any help ?

[03:24] <nikomo> !wine
[03:24] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[03:24] <kruqnut> nvidia has an updated driver and an install program ran thru the terminal with the "sh" command
[03:24] <shironeko> you can change the font size
[03:24] <ahmed> no use
[03:24] <FluffyFear> dpi ?
[03:24] <predaeus> kruqnut, yes, did you install using that?
[03:24] <kruqnut> not yet
[03:25] <kruqnut> thats what i was asking if i should do
[03:25] <Filthpig> predaeus: isn't 8800 supported by nvidia-glx?
[03:25] <ahmed> changed it to minimum but still as it
[03:25] <kruqnut> because the ubuntu drivers failed
[03:25] <ahmed> in many apps
[03:25] <predaeus> kruqnut, do it as a last resort. first check in the forums if either nvidia-glx-new or something will work for the 8800.
[03:25] <ahmed> hi
[03:26] <Jack_Sparrow> kruqnut: the didnt fail. they were just not configured correctly for your hardware... sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:26] <kruqnut> which forums?
[03:26] <predaeus> Filthpig, as far as I know. no.
[03:26] <predaeus> http://ubuntuforums.org/
[03:26] <StoneNewt> ompaul: yeah that's gnome orentated and I remeber the answers that those pagesgive are wrong :S
[03:26] <kruqnut> jack i went thru that in order to restore the default drivers
[03:27] <ahmed> any one know how to configure X resolution ?
[03:27] <grndslm> kruqnut...
[03:27] <ompaul> !resolution | ahmed
[03:27] <ubotu> ahmed: 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
[03:27] <Jack_Sparrow> kruqnut: good luck with all of this
[03:27] <grndslm> so, you have installed the newest nvidia drivers from nvidia, correct?
[03:28] <silverwulf> anyone that can help me with a cd burner compatibility issue?
[03:28] <Jack_Sparrow> kruqnut: You really do need to read the ubuntu guide and learn the basics
[03:28] <ahmed> check /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:28] <grndslm> kurqnut: from 100.14.11

[03:34] <booster> hey can anyone tell me why i cant get on the automatix web site???
[03:34] <Jack_Sparrow> silverwulf: What errors do you get on boot... is this ide.. is it set to master or slave and is it the only device on the cable
[03:34] <predaeus> !automatix | booster
[03:34] <ubotu> booster: Automatix2 is a block of code which attempts to install some software.  When it fails and breaks systems, we don't provide support for it.

[03:34] <mrstocks> Hi im looking for a programm like awstats awffull-stat, webalizer... to read apache logs knowing that there are about 400 different -access logs to parse... is there a tool that can parse multiple automaticly access-logs ?
[03:35] <Jack_Sparrow> booster: Because it is EVIL and you shouldnt go there to begin with
[03:35] <booster> and ive tried to install easyubuntu but when i click on the launcher it dosent work???
[03:35] <silverwulf> Jack_Sparrow- I get a primary slave error on boot, I passed that and went to the OS and I can see the drive, but it won't read discs
[03:35] <silverwulf> and it's my  second drive
[03:36] <Jack_Sparrow> silverwulf: Did you set the jumper on the hard drive to master ?  SOme need that
[03:36] <rapid> where can i adjust this adduser: Only one or two names allowed. ?
[03:36] <rapid> over cli
[03:36] <Fxyz4ever> anyone uses beryl? i've got problems
[03:36] <silverwulf> jack_sparrow- how would one go about doing that?
[03:37] <Jack_Sparrow> silverwulf: Setting the cd to slave jumper is easy, some hard drives need to be rejumpered as well.
[03:37] <Jack_Sparrow> silverwulf: They are jumpered to change from stand alone to master in a dual  drive on one cable setup
[03:37] <knoppix_> ny body there
[03:38] <knoppix_> hello
[03:38] <Jack_Sparrow> silverwulf: Not all of them need that but enough do that it could be your problem.  Do you have a spare cable where you could move the cd to the secondary ide
[03:38] <silverwulf> I just used what was there. I replaced a faulty drive
[03:39] <booster> how can i uninstall easyubuntu ???
[03:39] <Jack_Sparrow> silverwulf: Then the HD should have already been jumpered correctly
[03:39] <silverwulf> jack_sparrow- here's the thing, when I got  this comp from a friend, the burner was faulty and he used xp. I went straight to ubuntu and never knew if the cd burner works with it
[03:39] <abhi_> which application is best to setup a proxy server in my ubuntu 7.04?
[03:39] <steel_lady> did anybody managed to install here some multifunction printer/scanner???
[03:40] <Jack_Sparrow> silverwulf: I would check the jumper on the HD the old burner may not have been faulty
[03:41] <silverwulf> jack_sparrow- the old burner's disc tray was broken
[03:41] <silverwulf> jack_sparrow- how do I check the jumper
[03:41] <Jack_Sparrow> silverwulf: I would still start with the jumper or swapping out the cable.
[03:41] <claria> Hi all! why am i not able to share folders within my home folder. If i move the folder to e.g. /media/, i can access the shared folder. im using samba and create a windows share

[03:42] <Esteth> How do i tell terminal to hide the menubar by default when a new terminal opens? as it is, every time a new terminal opens, there's a menubar on it
[03:42] <silverwulf> jack_sparrow- okay thanks, I'll see what I can do
[03:43] <Jack_Sparrow> silverwulf: If you have problems from the boot get...   I would at least check that.
[03:43] <ki4cgp> I have a problem with switching users.

I can login to ssh remotely, and X is running at 100% CPU.  If I kill it, it hangs the machine.  Any suggestions?
[03:43] <kruqnut> hmm im having problems getting x server closed and arriving at a console, i tried single mode and recovery mode(probably the same thing) and the nvidia config program told me i need to run it on level 3 or something like that "telinit 3" so i ran telinit 3 and it just loads up X
[03:43] <shironeko> Anyone knows how to recover the Repositories GPG?
[03:44] <kruqnut> says i need to make sure the vrf's or vef's are loaded in order to run it

[03:47] <whonicca> is this a glitch?

[03:48] <IdleOne> need help decrypting an email from launchpad. I am using Firefox and gmail

[03:48] <Esteth> Does anyone know how to disable the menubar in the terminal?
[03:48] <jrib> danya: that means the .rar is password protected then
[03:49] <danya> jrib : but in the link where I downloaded the file from .. it says that there's no password protection
[03:49] <jrib> Esteth: view -> show menubar   then go to edit -> current profile  and disable it by default
[03:49] <AmazighQ> esteth use the nfo that comes along with the rar or you the torrent site the find the pass :/
[03:49] <shironeko> AmazighQ
[03:49] <jrib> danya: then either the file was not downloaded correctly or the web page is wrong.  Try 'unrar x file.rar' in a terminal if you want
[03:49] <Esteth> jrib: ahh, i'd missed the preference there, in amongst all the ticky-boxes
[03:49] <shironeko> oh
[03:50] <Cris> I'm having some trouble with my wireless network running on an Ubuntu 7.04 laptop

[03:50] <Cris> Of course, my card wont work with Ubuntu, however I have no access to the internet, and cant seem to install ndiswrapper without it.
[03:51] <shironeko> Have you tried connecting your laptop to your router with a network cable?
[03:52] <Pici> Cris: ndiswrapper should be on the install cd
[03:52] <Cris> Yeh. It says i'm connected to a wired network, however, I can't connect to the internet, connect to GAIM, anything.
[03:52] <cornell> I'm installing firefox from tar ball, following the instructions from their site.  The files are in /usr/local/firefox.  When I do the command "firefox", I'm told that /usr/local/firefox/firefox-bin is not found.  ls -la says it's there.  Do I have to do the command to make a file executable, and what is that command?
[03:52] <Johto> coral: is it +x ?
[03:52] <AmazighQ> i need help i got same problem as Cris
[03:53] <Cris> Pici: It is, but when I do the install from the Package manager it says it cannot connect
[03:53] <Cris> I'll get the exact error for you now.
[03:53] <Cris> just loading up
[03:53] <Pici> Cris: use the pastebin please
[03:53] <Pici> !paste | Cris
[03:53] <ubotu> Cris: 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)
[03:53] <dug_> cornell: probably the bin should be at /usr/local/bin/firefox.  if it is at /usr/local/firefox/firefox-bin  then that is not in your PATH.  You can create a symlink (man ln) from the bin to the /usr/local/bin folder
[03:54] <Cris> Ok, will do
[03:55] <ahmet_> hi
[03:55] <cornell> dug_ the firefox command starts /usr/local/firefox/run-mozilla.sh, which complains of not finding /usr/local/firefox/firefox-bin, by name.   I'm not certain it's a path problem
[03:55] <Cris> Ok, guys, I have another problem while I can ask it here.
[03:55] <jrib> cornell: why do you not want to use the firefox in the repositories?
[03:56] <ki4cgp> I have a problem with switching users.

[03:59] <cornell> dug_, jrib: Oh, and part of the instructions included cd /usr/local/bin;  ln -s ../firefox/firefox
[04:00] <Gateway> did you change the bios boot order?
[04:00] <ki4cgp> jrib: I did some searching around.  I found a possible bug but their description didn't sound like mine, and nobody mentioned the ati proprietary drivers on that
[04:00] <Cris> Gateway: I specifically asked the computer to boot from the CD, and then it wouldn't load and went straight to GRUB
[04:00] <ki4cgp> jrib:  I'll look at your url a little further

[04:02] <cornell> Cool, jrib,  I guess I'll synaptic install it and look it up ;-)
[04:02] <Cris> How do I completely remove Ubuntu?
[04:02] <jrib> Cris: format the partition you installed ubuntu to
[04:02] <routerguy> is there a way to give a user other than root global read write access to the entire drive
 virus do not affect linux
[04:02] <jrib> routerguy: your user has that with sudo
[04:02] <Cris> how do I format in ubuntu?
[04:02] <zippyy> Cris, what format is your partition ?
[04:02] <muz_> ?
[04:03] <dug_> Gateway: no

[04:03] <jrib> Cris: what OS are you going to use?
[04:03] <Gorlis1> Hi
[04:03] <stefg> Cris, you need to remove the Bootloader (grub) from the mbr first, other wise windows won't boot
[04:03] <AmazighQ> !ip
[04:03] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ip - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[04:03] <Gorlis1> quick question - currently running Ubuntu 64 bit, and want to change to 32bit
[04:03] <Cris> stefg, how do I do that?
[04:03] <AmazighQ> !connection
[04:03] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about connection - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[04:04] <Gorlis1> hows the best way to reformat/reinstall whilst keep all my data etc?
[04:04] <anandanbu> I have a problem while installing any stuff uisng synaptic in my Ubuntu 7.04 and also the systems response is too slow. Here is the error  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/36886/
[04:04] <Gorlis1> (could I just copy/transfer my user directory?)
[04:04] <jrib> Gorlis1: backup /home and /etc, see !cloning, and reinstall

[04:04] <Gorlis1> thanks
[04:04] <Gateway> tinin: its weird buti got a bad virus in windows vista and i thought reformating the drive and trying ubuntu would get rid of it, well after i install ubuntu strange things happend, Firefox opened 50 time about, i lost control of the mouse, and then it crased
[04:04] <stefg> Cris: boot windows, get a console and run 'fixmbr', then use windows disk-manager to delete the ubuntu partitions
 Cris, it is not necesary to remove the bootloader, a new windows install will screw it
[04:05] <Cris> This is the thing, my laptop doesn't seem to want to boot from a CD...
[04:05] <AmazighQ> gateway maybe it is bios
[04:05] <Gateway> ya thats what i thought
 weird....
[04:05] <stefg> Cris: you can do this from within the installed windows
[04:05] <Gateway> i think i have a hacker in the bios
[04:05] <ki4cgp> jrib:  Firefox can't find the server at bugs.ubuntu.org.  They must have changed hosts
[04:06] <jrib> ki4cgp: erm, sorry .com, not .org
[04:06] <ki4cgp> kk
[04:06] <Cris> stefg, I don't have an installed Windows. I'm running solely on Ubuntu
[04:06] <Drizzt321> quit
[04:06] <zippyy> Cris, are you intending on dual booting ?
[04:06] <stefg> Cris: oh, i see. so what's your problem then? Nuking a disk should be easy
[04:06] <zippyy> or just a clean win install
[04:06] <Cris> I would stay with Ubuntu, but I have no way fo getting ndiswrapper on my laptop, as it wasn't in my package manager
[04:07] <routerguy> when i browse my drive through the gui i cannot add or remove dir's. how can i give my user access this way.
[04:07] <stefg> Cris: use a wired interface to d/l ndiswrapper. or d/l ndiswrapper ona usb-stick
[04:07] <binvij> Hi how to make gdesklets working in feisty
, why don't you try a gutsy live cd, wireless has improved with newer kernels
[04:08] <Gateway> i am confused on how to rewrite the bios, i have a bios update installer, but you need to use windows to update it,
[04:08] <jrib> Cris, stefg: isn't ndiswrapper on the cd?  Cris: have you read the wiki page with instructions?
[04:08] <zippyy> routerguy, what directories home dir's ?
[04:08] <stefg> !info ndiswrapper
[04:08] <ubotu> Package ndiswrapper does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[04:08] <stefg> !info ndis-wrapper
[04:08] <ubotu> Package ndis-wrapper does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[04:08] <zippyy> routerguy, user can only create/delete whats under /home/$USER
[04:08] <manawyddan> Hello everyone. Has anyone been having problems with 7.04? Like system crashes or having the system absolutely blocked and you have to reset the PC?
[04:08] <routerguy> anything on the drive other than the /home dir
[04:08] <Jack_Sparrow> Gateway: Be careful... flashing the bios can result in turning nice hardware into an expensive doorstop
[04:09] <zippyy> routerguy, Thats not a smart choice!
[04:09] <Gateway> o
[04:09] <jrib> !ndiswrapper | Cris
[04:09] <ubotu> Cris: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[04:09] <Cris> stefg, I can put ndiswrapper on a usb stick, once i have done that, would you be kind enough to guide as to what i have to do. I'm VERY new to Ubuntu
[04:09] <Gateway> what should i do ?>
[04:09] <RainCT> hi
[04:09] <stefg> Cris: it's called ndiswrapper-utils, and it's on the install CD
[04:09] <RainCT> is there a command to convert .tga to .png?
[04:10] <routerguy> well im willing to learn what a smart choice is. is there a document to read or what do i need to do
[04:10] <stefg> Cris: so after you've installed ubuntu run sudo apt-get install ndiwrapper-utils in a terminal
[04:10] <stefg> *ndiswraper-utils
[04:10] <stefg> aargh
[04:10] <Cris> stefg, ill send you a link to the problem i get with that

[04:12] <Cris> stefg - I can put ndiswrapper on my USB stick, but I'll have no idea where to go from there.
[04:12] <Jack_Sparrow> Gateway: I only have a minute as I am busy.. but please briefly explain the problem
[04:12] <Ott1> thants
 no, but you can try the new one, althought there's a month left for it's release, it is in beta state yet
[04:13] <stefg> Cris: ndiswrapper is a kernel module that wraps a windows-driver, so you can (hopefully) use it on windows.
[04:13] <Gateway> Jack_Sparrow: i mean what should i do about rewriting the bios, you said its risky
[04:13] <stefg> Cris: ndiswrapper is a kernel module that wraps a windows-driver, so you can (hopefully) use it on /Linux/
[04:14] <stefg> Cris: you just have to install it, then run it and have your windows-driver disk ready
[04:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Gateway: If you are sure you must... then read everything you can find on the mfg's website about how to do it safely
[04:14] <Cris> Yeh, that's what I'm trying

[04:14] <Gateway> Jack_sparrow: is there any other way to get the virus off the bios
[04:14] <Cris> no that's not helping me.
[04:15] <Jack_Sparrow> Gateway: How do you know you have a virus in the bios
[04:15] <stefg> Cris: so what make and model is the wifi chipset in your Laptop?
[04:15] <Fxyz4ever> i've got a problem with beryl, can anybody help me?
[04:15] <Cris> I'm using a wireless card
[04:16] <hab> I just installed Gutsy. I got an app in my tray bar telling me to install the restricted drivers (ATI etc.). Unfortunately, I clicked cancel at that moment, thinking that I would be able to find it later, but I can't find it. It's not in the menus or on the System settings. Kubuntu.

[04:17] <t94xr> how to i unzip something using console?
[04:17] <Gateway> Jack_sparrow: it also done other strange this that a virus would do,
[04:18] <Jack_Sparrow> Gateway: Sorry, I just doubt that is the problem.

[04:18] <tinin> manawyddan, I don't think so, it is more possible to be hardware related... Just try onther distros or a clean install or the new ubuntu 7.10
[04:18] <t94xr> thanks! :D
[04:18] <Gateway> Jack_sparrow , i think that its weird that i am having the smae problems in vitsa and in ubuntu after i formated the bios

[04:19] <Roly[] > does anyone have anything i can read on how i could get an IRCd running on ubuntu server?
[04:19] <eirirs> lshw -C network telle me that wlan is disabled, and I got a old thinkpad laptop, without any on\off toggle for wlan card, trying to google all over for an answer :)
[04:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Gateway: You may have a hardware problem... but I doubt it is in the bios.  THe only bios virii I have ever seen flash the bios to nothing.  None of them read your hardware bios and inject code into it.
[04:20] <Drizzt321> through the default network config, how would I go about having it try my home wireless network, and if that doesn't exist then go to roaming mode?
[04:20] <rafaelm> does anyone know if wubi supports windows media center? i tryed installing it on it and the file just doesn't open.

[04:21] <reon_> Upgraded kernel in ubuntu feisty due to a fan issue, went to kernel 2.6.22.11 and vbox install keeps complaining about kernel sources
[04:21] <Szego> Is there a keystroke in ubuntu to automatically open up the terminal?
[04:21] <reon_> any ideas
[04:21] <Gateway> Jack_sparrow: could the hacker have my ip address and be able to get in
[04:21] <Gateway> Jack_sparrow: my ubuntu
[04:22] <manawyddan> tinin: well i've noticed something strange. my Scroll Lock LED only lights up at boot time and during OS install process, i've tried with Slackware, as soon as it loads the system and after login it doesn't light up anymore during the session!!!!!
[04:22] <stefg> reon_: how about installing the kernel sources ?
[04:22] <Jack_Sparrow> Gateway: There are too many possibilities to start guessing... what happens when you run livecd

[04:22] <newname> hi

[04:23] <Jack_Sparrow> Gateway: I am very short on time... You may have a hardware problem, I dounbt you have a cmos virus
[04:23] <Gateway> ok
[04:23] <Drizzt321> through the default network config, how would I go about having it try my home wireless network, and if that doesn't exist then go to roaming mode?
[04:23] <stefg> Roly[] : look at DeLi linux or some custom tailored distro for low ram machines
 leds are not important, it is just that the manufacturer put those light on your ps, and maybe your distro of linux doesn't know how to use them...
[04:23] <Gateway> Jack_sparrow: is it possible that the hacker has my ip and is able to get into ubuntu
[04:24] <Jack_Sparrow> Gateway: Not likely

[04:25] <reon_> Which files are packages are required for kernel sources on 2.6.22.11 and will vbox for feisty install on it ?

[04:26] <Roly[] > oh there
[04:27] <Gateway> Jack_sparrow: its weird that ubuntu did simmilar things
[04:27] <wooooosh> When you install something from source you have to get all the dependencies. If I want to do "make unistall", what is then the best way of removing the dependencies
[04:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Gateway: but with a fresh install of ubuntu, you should not have that problem... NOt using IE in ubuntu are you
[04:27] <Gateway> no
[04:27] <penquin> elo
[04:27] <Gateway> i use firefox
[04:27] <stefg> Roly[] : 32 Mb is hardly enough to run a 2.6 kernel and xorg.... you'd need a lot of linux knowledge to slima modern distro down that it fits in ... see Distrowatch which options you have, ubuntu (fluxbunt) is the lightest *ubuntu and requires 64 MB iirc

[04:39] <dooglus> ariane: my problem was with a corrupted ext3 journal.  I mounted it as ext2, edited a file, then mounted it as ext3 again, umounted it again, fsck'ed it, and then it worked.
[04:39] <jamescarr> hey, where can I find good OO templates?
[04:39] <unimatrix9> i am trying to install something, but it complains about libc6 dependecy, wich is installed, how do i force it?
[04:39] <pav> whenever i run apt-get update i get an error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/36891/
[04:40] <jamescarr> I was suprised to discovered there are no resume templates by default
[04:40] <dooglus> meoblast001: I've only ever resized 2 NTFS partitions, but it's worked fine both times
[04:40] <vader1102> crap...... late for chuch... later folks
[04:40] <ariane> dooglus: if i do so, i will lose all my stuff on my harddisk, won't i?
[04:40] <mailavj> how to restore sudo previleges to an alpha user
[04:40] <stefg> meoblast001: you need not necesarily resize partitons... you could separate /home or /var .... gazillions of ways to add space to a Linux system transparently
[04:40] <dooglus> ariane: I didn't lose anything, but I wasn't seeing block errors.  I was seeing something about the superblock last modified time being in the future - a bit different.
[04:41] <Roly[] > if i install ubuntu into a seperate partition, is there a way that when i boot the PC is goes to XP as normal unless i press a key then it will boot ubuntu
[04:41] <stefg> ariane: to be honest... tht message could mean your hd got belly up already
[04:42] <ana> hello
[04:42] <ariane> dooglus: oh. well the computer did something alike a couple of months ago, i came here, asked for help and some gave me a command to run in a terminal that checked and repared the disk and i forgot it and i can't find where it was written...
[04:42] <jb47>   i like to run in ram [toram] ; are you aware of an ubuntu version of livecd that is less than 200meg
[04:43] <ki4cgp> jrib:  I had a problem with X locking up on user switching.  I tried different things, but had to disable ATI's proprietary driver and now the user switching works
[04:43] <dooglus> ariane: were you called 'ariane' then too?
[04:43] <ana> hello do you epiken spanish
[04:43] <jamescarr> is there a package for OO templates? I cant find any with apt-cache search
[04:43] <jamescarr> I need a resume template
[04:43] <ariane> dooglus: ariane or ari.
[04:43] <Pici> !es | ana
[04:43] <ubotu> ana: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[04:43] <dooglus> ariane: when abouts was it?  I've probably got logs
[04:44] <jamescarr> ??
[04:44] <BKhype> I was messing around with sound setting on my ubuntu, now everything sounds like a low quality stream how can i change this back to normal setting?
[04:44] <unimatrix9> jb47, only dammsmall linux can do that i guess
[04:44] <oriez> what could be the problem if my mic is not working but my speakers is working?
[04:44] <gerro> oriez: use your sound mixing app
[04:44] <Pici> !fsck | ariane
[04:44] <ubotu> ariane: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot
[04:44] <jb47> unim thanks
[04:44] <ariane> dooglus: april or may, i'm not quite sure
[04:45] <oriez> gerro, dosen't help
[04:45] <ariane> Pici: yes! it was fsck !!!
[04:45] <gerro> BKhype: that little sound icon on your panel if its not there right click and choose add then click it
[04:45] <jamescarr> nvm. I downloaded one
[04:45] <jb47> unim are you familiar with pud linux; it is supposed to be based on ubuntu i think
[04:46] <gerro> oriez: then open synaptic and do a complete removal of alsa-base and all its dependencies then reinstall them back
[04:46] <CheesyMonkey> Can someone point me in the direction of the best guide to installing compiz fusion on ubuntu please?
[04:46] <BKhype> gotcha gotcha it says intel ICH6 Alo mixer
[04:46] <gerro> oriez: that will start you out fresh
[04:46] <unimatrix9> sudo touch /forcefsck   will force an check disk at next boot one time
[04:46] <xst> After an upgrade two days ago I can no longer boot any kernel. Grub returns "Error 15: File not found". Pretty critical What to do?
[04:46] <seba> hi
[04:46] <jb47> have you used pud linux and if yes what do you think of it
[04:46] <gerro> CheesyMonkey: check #ubuntu-effects they usually update latest guide if not bug someone
[04:46] <jamescarr> how do I turn beryl off?
[04:46] <ariane> so if i type "fsck /dev/hda1" will it repair my harddisk?
[04:47] <jamescarr> all my windows are black
[04:47] <jamescarr> I log out
[04:47] <jamescarr> so long and thanks for all the fish!
[04:47] <bulmer> ariane: only do an fsck on unmounted partition
[04:47] <gerro> xst: seems your kernel update overwrited menu.lst hmm use live cd copy of that file to replace menu.lst or whatever tweaked copy you have and replace it
[04:47] <dooglus> ariane: or 'satellite'?
[04:48] <unimatrix9> sudo touch /forcefsck   will force an check disk at next boot one time
[04:48] <gerro> xst: updatedb then locate menu.lst to find it
[04:48] <unimatrix9> ariane
[04:48] <pav> i cant upgrade to feisty
[04:48] <ariane> dooglus: might be satellite too
[04:48] <BKhype> gerro - what do i do to get the sound quality better ? or like it was before i started messing around with it.
[04:48] <gerro> BKhype: like I said remove alsa and reinstall it through synaptic
[04:48] <unimatrix9> ariane , you cant check an disk when mounted with fsck
[04:48] <BKhype> ohh
[04:48] <gerro> Bkhype: that will give you all default settings and drivers etc that came with ubuntu or whatever install
[04:49] <manawyddan> does anyone know a good book about bash Shell scripting?
[04:49] <gerro> l
[04:49] <pav> I cant upgrade to feisty throught update manager
[04:49] <gerro> BKhype: might want to reboot too
[04:49] <BKhype> k
[04:49] <dooglus> ariane: see http://dooglus.rincevent.net/random/aniane.txt - that's all I can find from you

[04:50] <steveatlocalhost> hey everyone
[04:50] <tuqann> hi everybody, anyone can help me figure out my my USB external harddrive (partitioned into three FAT32 partitions) is always auto mounted/mounted in readonly
[04:50] <gerro> pav: run feisty live cd and delete folders in / then replace them with ones on live cd, don't get rid of /home though okay
[04:50] <mailavj> hi help please.. i have changed sudo previliges to alpha user in my fiesty but now i have restored them.. but i cant see many apps in administration menu as they were before. .how can  restore them
[04:50] <gerro> l
[04:50] <manawyddan> unimatrix9: :-D
[04:50] <pav> gerro: i dont have a cd burner to get the feisty live cd
[04:50] <unimatrix9> tuqann , it should automount and show up ...
[04:51] <tuqann> it automounts
[04:51] <tuqann> but only in read-only
[04:51] <ionjadsd> ver us.undernet.org
[04:51] <unimatrix9> tuqann, its ntfs?
[04:51] <gerro> pav: you can load it off usb stick too, or buy cd for very small cost
[04:51] <tuqann> i have the same problem with my shared FAT32 drive between ubuntu and xp, some folders are readonly
[04:51] <pav> gerro oh i got a usb stick, ty
[04:51] <gerro> pav: its always handy to have around incase you trash the OS
[04:52] <tuqann> no, everything is FAT32 except my xp driver (ntfs) and my ubuntu (ext)
[04:52] <gerro> pav: try checking ubuntu site installation info. I've never been successful in usb install
[04:52] <pav> gerro: will do
[04:52] <tuqann> and my ntfs drive is read/write
[04:52] <steveatlocalhost> anyone need help with steam games not working?
[04:52] <gvsa123> hello... any recommendation for a cd cover app from synaptics? i have disc-cover already. is there something that can import an existing playlist created from serpentine?
[04:53] <gerro> steveatlocalhost: me!
[04:53] <unimatrix9> tuqann, as a fast workaround, open terminal , type sudo nautilus, and try to copy files as root , see if that helps
[04:53] <steveatlocalhost> gerro: whats the problem :D
[04:53] <gvsa123> hello...
[04:53] <gvsa123> any recommendation for a cd cover app from synaptics? i have disc-cover already. is there something that can import an existing playlist created from serpentine?
[04:53] <ariane> dooglus: that was me but i didn't find the conversation i had that solved my problem...
[04:53] <unimatrix9> glabels for cd cover design
[04:53] <pooo1> i want to try xorg 7.3, it is in any repository??
[04:54] <stefg> tuqann: that might have to do with 'hidden' bits in the xp-folder settings, or desktop.ini files in these folders. try if it changes something if you rename desktop.ini's to , sys desktop.bak
[04:54] <gvsa123> unimatrix9: works well with playlists?
[04:54] <PriceChild> pooo1, why do you want it?
[04:54] <unimatrix9> dont know....
[04:54] <pooo1> PriceChild: i should test the new randr
[04:54] <dooglus> ariane: maybe it was in #kubuntu?  I don't watch that
[04:54] <tuqann> unimatrix9: with root nautilus my shared drive is back but my external is still locked
[04:54] <PriceChild> pooo1, it'll all be in ubuntu gutsy in october... maybe download tribe 5's live cd and test it out in a live environment?
[04:55] <dooglus> ariane: do you have any idea what caused the problem?
[04:55] <tuqann> stefg: if i could have access to those folders, i wouldn't have a problem. do you mean go to xp?
[04:55] <PriceChild> pooo1, support for that though in #ubuntu+1
[04:55] <ariane> dooglus: it might be in #kubuntu. or in #ubuntu-fr or whatever...
[04:55] <stefg> tuqann: can you write to them as root?
[04:55] <ariane> dooglus: i don't have any idea. it worked well yesterday.
[04:55] <ariane> i had to boot a couple of times before getting it to work but it finally started.
[04:56] <dooglus> ariane: you're talking about booting from the hard disk, not from CD, right?
[04:56] <stefg> ariane: why dont you just boot up the Desktop -CD, look at hda1 if there's still something on it, and in case there is, unmout it and run a fsck on that drive?
[04:56] <ariane> from the hard disk
[04:56] <dooglus> ariane: could it just be that the hard disk drive is f**ked?
[04:56] <unimatrix9> tuqannm try to rightklick the drives show on the desktop and see if you can change read write settings there.....
[04:57] <ariane> dooglus: the hard disk could just be f**ked.
[04:57] <dooglus> ariane: can you boot into the other linux?
[04:57] <dooglus> ariane: if so, you can check the ubuntu partition from there
[04:57] <unimatrix9> ariane, did it fsck now?
[04:57] <ariane> i really don't know what is going on in that crappy machine.
[04:57] <tuqann> stefg: not my external, only the internal fat32
[04:57] <cidwel> hi all
[04:57] <ariane> dooglus: i'm now on the other linux
[04:57] <tuqann> stefg: my external isn't messed, i checked it with xp
[04:58] <stefg> tuqann: don't get you...
[04:58] <Yoric> FHi
[04:58] <Yoric> Hi
[04:58] <dooglus> ariane: can you 'md5sum' the ubuntu partition from there?
[04:58] <Yoric> For a few days, my evolution has kept freezing at start-up.
[04:58] <Yoric> No error messages on the console.
[04:58] <Yoric> 100% CPU for 20+ minutes.
[04:58] <unimatrix9> tuqann, rightklick the desktop icon of your external drive and see if you can change any read write settings there first
[04:58] <ariane> dooglus: how do i do that?
[04:58] <Yoric> That's version 2.10.1-0ubuntu2.
[04:59] <Yoric> Any suggestion ?
[04:59] <dooglus> ariane: do you know its device name?  like /dev/hda1 or something?

[05:06] <dooglus> ariane: it'll take a long time - it reads the whole partition from the disk

[05:06] <Yoric> It freezes at startup.

[05:07] <ariane> dooglus: ok thanks. so i'll wait...
[05:07] <Yoric> unimatrix9: more prevcisely, it freezes a few seconds after startup.
[05:07] <SubMOA> because, stefg, it is on a ubuntu box and on edgy it worked fine

[05:11] <tuqann> anyone knows why my FAT32 external mounts as a "read only disk"???
[05:11] <dooglus> Seveas: I've been here for a few years, but I've never heard that it's wrong to list the ops.  I won't do it again, even if anyone asks me to.
[05:11] <SlicerDicer-> falstius I have to type all the stuff out no way I am going to waste that much energy if nboody knows software raid...
[05:11] <stefg> Filthpig: you might want to look at /etc/iftab and make sure that your adapters always get the same device name
[05:11] <dooglus> ariane: what does that mean?
[05:11] <SlicerDicer-> falstius it is a very complex setup and I broke it
[05:11] <Frogzoo> bXi: and themes doesn't open? :p
[05:11] <newbie-in-linux> sorry, can somebody actually SEE me?
[05:11] <radium> was in the process of typing a /server -m and then this window popped up :P

[05:12] <Falstius> SlicerDicer-: write it up, post it on a forum then copy paste it here.  I assume you're going to ask for help somewhere eventually.
[05:12] <SubMOA> stefg, okay, I get some stuff ... but I don't understand it.  Umm...
[05:12] <NarutoUz> I suspect it's due to loss of configuration files during a recent HD repair
[05:12] <ariane> dooglus: it means "error of income/outcome" (translation is quite approximative...)
[05:12] <Frogzoo> bXi: ok, but in 'custom' theme, you might see an icon set, or windows borders
[05:12] <SubMOA> I get things like "listening on LPF/ ... /[IPv6 address?] "
[05:12] <wooooosh> read/write error
[05:12] <NarutoUz> anyone know how to use a Ubuntu CD to reinstall x-server with the original config again?

[05:13] <NarutoUz> Any clever linux-god's able to help me out on that one? ;-)
[05:13] <newbie-in-linux> Frogzoo:  says: learn about another OS BEFORE install it asshole!
[05:13] <dazrour> !ask can anyone help, I have been reading bug 67810 about harddisk noice on shutdown and it seems like my harddrive is making the same noise only mine is in a desktop
[05:14] <stefg> Filthpig: that can be your problem. add your wireless adapter wlan0, ra0 or wahtever it is called
[05:14] <newbie-in-linux> so i am stuck here, you see
[05:14] <ubotu> dazrour: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[05:14] <dooglus> ariane: input/output error I guess.  it means it couldn't read the disk...  that's not a problem with ubuntu, but with the disk
[05:14] <newbie-in-linux> hey ubotu?
[05:14] <dazrour> well i did twice and there was no response
[05:14] <newbie-in-linux> ubotu: you there?
[05:14] <Filthpig> stefg: that's the funky bit, because last night it was working as wlan0, but today it's rausb0
[05:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about you there? - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[05:14] <Frogzoo> newbie-in-linux: ah, that message is not a standard ubuntu message :)

[05:15] <NarutoUz> Basically Xserver failed to load. Presumably config files corrupted in recently repaired HD errors. How do I reinstall **just** Xserver as important files on comp?
[05:15] <NarutoUz> (or any other advice appreciated!)
[05:15] <dooglus> ariane: no.  it may be possible to recover most of your files, I don't know.  the md5sum ran for a long time before telling you the error, so chances are lots of the disk is OK
[05:15] <Flare183> How do you "say" stuff on here?
[05:15] <newbie-in-linux> Frogzoo: , i am REALLY fucked up
[05:15] <Frogzoo> !ohmy
[05:15] <unimatrix9> ariane : you need third party livecd to check the disk , for example : hirens boot cd, or you could use an linux life cd, to see if that helps...
[05:15] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[05:15] <NarutoUz> I'm just assuming reinstalling x-server will fix the problem.
[05:15] <stefg> Filthpig: hmmm.... and that's the use for /etc/iftab... drivers/udev may behave odd, so iftab makes sure your interface names are straight
[05:15] <Flare183> !language
[05:15] <newbie-in-linux> Frogzoo:  i NEED the damned JAVA to work
[05:15] <dooglus> Flare183: what are you talking about?  you're saying stuff whenever you speak
[05:16] <Frogzoo> newbie-in-linux: what actually is your issue?
[05:16] <unimatrix9> ariane , or maybe an ide to usb connector
[05:16] <SubMOA> stefg, okay, I am restarting.  Hopefully that works.  If I may ask, what is the rational behind enabling something that, as stated, is not really supported?  Isn't Ubuntu supposed to be very un-commandline-ish.  It seems non-working internet would be a turn off for most people new to linux.  ANy thoughts?
[05:16] <SlicerDicer-> falstitius ok here is the question... I have a software raid setup where I had hdb1 (raid0) hdb1 (raid1) the hdb1 ran part of the raid0 to create my raid5 the raid1 is my boot and the raid5 is all my storage data. I pulled the pata drive shoved in a sata drive dropped the ata drive from the array added in the sata drive and I am trying to remember what steps I need to get it fired up and bootable with grub. Its a wonky raid setup but
[05:16] <SlicerDicer->  it works and gives me a level of redundency
[05:16] <Flare183> dooglus:> like this: I just wanted to know who do you "say" stuff on here?
[05:16] <michael_demonio> hi
[05:16] <newbie-in-linux> Frogzoo: my email only works with java, 'cos its' encrypted, without it, can't even read my mails
[05:16] <SubMOA> ... stefg, not a criticism, by the way, just a question.
[05:16] <michael_demonio> i need help
[05:16] <Flare183> no
[05:16] <SlicerDicer-> falstitus that is the simple explanation of what I did
[05:16] <newbie-in-linux> Frogzoo: i got Java from Sun, but apparently i did not install it correctly
[05:16] <CheesyMonkey> NarutoUz, Whats the X error say exactly? If nothing, check in /var/log/Xorg.0/log
[05:16] <Flare183> dooglus:> like this: [11:18]  * NarutoUz looks imploringly a you in a 'please help' sort-of-way
[05:16] <SlicerDicer-> falstitus I hope I did not type it for no reason heh
[05:16] <michael_demonio> i need to recover my graphic interface
[05:17] <dooglus> Flare183: type "/me" at the beginning
[05:17] <CheesyMonkey> NarutoUz, /var/log/Xorg.0.log ****
[05:17] <ariane> unimatrix9: why would i need to boot on the live cd if i am running another ubuntu right now? can't i do it from here?
[05:17] <Flare183> oh like this
[05:17] <newbie-in-linux> Frogzoo: and it's the first time i ever install anything into Linux
[05:17] <NarutoUz> cheesymonkey> I'll check up for you :) 2 secs.
[05:17] <stefg> SubMOA: on IRC it's just easier to tell cli commands than describe gui procedures. you didn't configure your interface right, and this was just a quick test to find that out
[05:17] <Flare183> yes
[05:17] <SubMOA> stefg !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!  Thank you SOO much ... someday, I too, wish to be a ninja network such as youself...
[05:17] <Flare183>  i got it to work
[05:17] <unimatrix9> ariane, because the disk is broken?
[05:17] <michael_demonio> when i begin session there is no buttons and no panels
[05:17] <Flare183> thans
[05:17] <Flare183> thx
[05:17] <gvsa123> Frogzoo: is cdlabelgen supposed to be GUI? can;t find it in the menu, nor did it run with command: cdlabelgen
[05:17] <Frogzoo> newbie-in-linux: maybe you need to do: "sudo update-alternatives --config java"
[05:18] <michael_demonio> how can i recover my x config?
[05:18] <unimatrix9> ariane : and what does cfdisk show?
[05:18] <SlicerDicer-> wow falstitus nobody answered who woulda thunk... I was right bah...
[05:18] <Puaff> my system has a lot of hardware that is only recognised by gutsy, is it already reliable for daily use?
[05:18] <dooglus> ariane: you don't need to boot from a CD - you're booted already.
[05:18] <newbie-in-linux> Frogzoo: how the Hell am i supposed to do that and WHERE, exactly?
[05:18] <michael_demonio> can somebody help me?
[05:18] <ariane> unimatrix9: it shows a fatal error...
[05:18] <SubMOA> stefg, ahh, I see.  I personally like the cli, but I was just stating that as a general question considering the original target consumer of ubuntu.  Anyway, I guess my other questions are just IPv6 related now that you've perked my interest ... off to another channel :O)  Thanks a lot.  Truly appreciated.
[05:18] <NarutoUz> cheesymonkey> Quite a long list of errors it looks like. the final one is 'Fatal server error: failed to initialise core devices'
[05:18] <Frogzoo> gvsa123: it's not gui - it takes a playlist & spits out a cd label in postscript
[05:19] <Filthpig> stefg: at the end of the line (eth0 mac <macadress>) it says arp1 on both the wired connections... Should this be the same for wireless
[05:19] <Filthpig> ?
[05:19] <Frogzoo> newbie-in-linux: lose the attitude, do it in a terminal
[05:19] <Falstius> SlicerDicer-: by hda1 (raid0) and hdb1 (raid 1) you mean that raid0 and raid1 are labels, not raid types right?
[05:19] <NarutoUz> and quite a few 'no such file or directories' above that...
[05:19] <stefg> Filthpig: im /guessing/ : yes
[05:19] <dooglus> ariane: he means "sudo cfdisk"
[05:20] <gvsa123> Frogzoo: i see... thanks... i was looking for an app that my sister could use... i don't she'd like to mess around with commands at the moment... thanks though
[05:20] <Flare183> sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin
[05:20] <Filthpig> and then rebooting?
[05:20] <dazrour> Does anybody else' hard drive make a squeek when shutting down?
[05:20] <danmurf> yeah sort of, I think it's the heads parking up
[05:21] <dooglus> dazrour: my hard drive makes a knocking sound every 5 seconds.  when I shut down it stops doing that.  also if I boot Windows it stops, too
[05:21] <newbie-in-linux> Frogzoo: i got this message "there's only one program providing java. nothing to configure"
[05:21] <dazrour> it probably shouldnt do that right?

[05:21] <Frogzoo> newbie-in-linux: sounds like java's correctly installed
[05:21] <dooglus> dazrour: I don't think so.  after a few weeks of knocking the drive generally stops working and I have to send the laptop back for repair
[05:21] <SlicerDicer-> falstius mda1 = /dev/hda1 /dev/sdc2 (previously hdb2) mda2 = /dev/sdb /dev/sdc1 (formally hdb2) mda3 = /dev/sda1 /dev/md2 /dev/? cant rememeber offhand but thats the idea
[05:22] <newbie-in-linux> Frogzoo: ok then why doesn't it work?
[05:22] <stefg> dooglus, danmurf, dazrour : you might find smartmontools useful to find out about odd hd behaviour
[05:22] <newbie-in-linux> Frogzoo: 'cos i thought i had done it right too

[05:29] <unimatrix9> backup is wise yes
[05:29] <ariane> unimatrix9: shows me a whole lot of buffer errors
[05:29] <stgs> Enter text here...hello
[05:29] <dooglus> unimatrix9: can you upload it somewhere?
[05:29] <h1st0> jrib: wth is the classroom channel?
[05:29] <NarutoUz> I went through the sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg process and answered a lot of questions I didn't have a clue about (mostly sticking with defaults)
[05:29] <dooglus> ariane: can you upload it somewhere?
[05:30] <NarutoUz> came out the other end
[05:30] <NarutoUz> then typed
[05:30] <unimatrix9> or burn to disk
[05:30] <dooglus> NarutoUz: and now it's fine?

[05:30] <stgs> (LT)
[05:30] <NarutoUz> ........
[05:30] <NarutoUz> nope
[05:30] <NarutoUz> I think perhaps I may have got part of the config wrong.
[05:30] <Filthpig> stefg: didn't help :/
[05:30] <michael_demonio> jrib how can i recover my graphic interface?
[05:30] <unimatrix9> ariane burn to dvd? cdrom?
[05:30] <NarutoUz> isthere a way to make it automatically configure xserver like it did on first installing?
[05:30] <jrib> h1st0: sometimes there are classes about different subjects on ubuntu.  But when it's not being used for that, I help people there when there is too much traffic for them here

[05:30] <djtansey> looking for help re: ddrescue. trying to recover data from an external drive to a file, but the partition is 30+GB and ddrescue craps out at 4gb of output. Anyone know how I can get ddrescue to create a new output file at 4gb? And, if i have a 30gb partition split into multiple files, how to I mount it to get the data?
[05:30] <SuperLag> I had Wine installed, and have since removed it. However, "Wine Software Uninstaller" shows up in Applications > System Tools. I have tried "complete removal" at someone else's advice, as well as editing the menu... how can I get this item off?
[05:30] <jrib> michael_demonio: did you do what ubotu suggested?
[05:30] <NarutoUz> (it did a damn fine job first time)

[05:31] <ariane> unimatrix9: yes, i could burn data to s cd or try to stock it on my usb key.
[05:31] <h1st0> jrib: main thing is people just need to learn how to focus on one name i.e. jri<tab>  so that it highlights their clients.
[05:31] <mailavj> okay
[05:32] <jrib> reon: where do you see it on the system?

[05:32] <stefg> Filthpig: I'd do couple of reboots and see if your wlan adaptor always gets the same device name now... if so you'd need to check /etc/network/interfaces if this device is configured correctly. Unistalling network-manager and avahi-daemon might make it easier, too (if you don't use it anyway)

[05:34] <ubotu> meoblast001: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (see also !Bot). Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops...
[05:34] <NarutoUz> any idea what that means dooglus?
[05:35] <dooglus> NarutoUz: I only really see lines you put my name in, so I don't know what you're talking about
[05:35] <NarutoUz> The problem coincided with a HD repair.
[05:35] <ariane> dooglus: i don't see the partition. i couldn't see it even before it crashed.
[05:35] <NarutoUz> ah sorry dooglus my fault ;)
[05:35] <dooglus> NarutoUz: do you have a wacom tablet?
[05:35] <NarutoUz> dooglus: not even sure what that is....

I can't start anything with my default session (because of a broken program starting on startup) and I can't start any other logins I have... is there any way of changing the startup config without the gnome gui (like a textfile I can edit)?
[05:36] <gavintlgold> i mean the sessions config
[05:36] <stefg> ariane: this drive is apparently toast.... if you discover you're riding a dead horse, unmount
[05:36] <dooglus> NarutoUz: I don't know how ubuntu sets up the xorg.conf initially, sorry.
[05:37] <NarutoUz> dooglas: I think what's happened is the files for it were deleted because they became corrupt during a HD repair on boot....Course I'm just an armchair theorist.

[05:37] <jrib> zzYzz: automatix bad, don't use it
[05:37] <NarutoUz> dooglus> I'll give that a shot ;)
[05:38] <dooglus> ariane: make sure to mount it readonly.  don't want to be writing to a damaged partition
[05:38] <zzYzz> thanks
[05:38] <unimatrix9> sudo apt-get install testdisk
[05:38] <h1st0> gavintlgold: start poking around in ~/.gnome  or ~/.gnome2  everything in linux is text files
[05:38] <reon> jrib, Jack_Sparrow, well I dont see it under the login window settings. I upgraded a friends laptop to a gutsy kernel and now ubuntu complains that it cannot find the human login screen and instead it uses a milky white one with a sunflower. I would like to know where that screen is saved so I can make it the default as she likes it.
[05:38] <h1st0> gavintlgold: well I should say mostly everying
[05:38] <gavintlgold> Xyhthyx: the problem is, when I start with "failsafe gnome" it doesn't work, it just boots up my session that I don't want to start
[05:38] <gavintlgold> h1st0: sure, i'll try seeing if I can find something
[05:38] <zzYzz> wait open links www.getautomatix.com/????
[05:38] <h1st0> reon: gusty support is #ubuntu+1
[05:39] <gavintlgold> this has been extremely frustrating
[05:39] <dylock> question: i have a botched edgy -> fiesty upgrade, i am considered just redoing the entire ubuntu install, now i have a second harddrive, will i still be able to keep the data on the second harddrive if i redo the linux install on the primary harddrive?
[05:39] <Xyhthyx> gavintlgold: What program is causing the problem?
[05:39] <dooglus> BoSJo: sudo dpkg -r mfc8420lpr
[05:39] <gavintlgold> Xyhthyx: broken compiz fusion git :D
[05:39] <Drizzt321> so...where the heck is the setting in the screensaver config to lock the screen when it activates, or after a certain time?
[05:39] <h1st0> dylock: all you need is to back up your home or put it on a seperate partition
[05:40] <zzYzz>  caps???? 3d cube efekts
[05:40] <ariane> dooglus and unimatrix9 i'm backing up now...
[05:40] <unimatrix9> ariane : after backup you could try to use testdisk, like suggested here
[05:40] <Xyhthyx> gavintlgold: Hmm.. how about a terminal session from the login window and removing said package?
[05:40] <Jack_Sparrow> reon: try gnome-look and drag-drop a tar'd theme onto the login manager
[05:40] <BoSJo> dooglus : thanks seems like it did the trick
[05:40] <h1st0> dylock: that is the best bet then any time you reinstall you just make the installer aware that /home is seperate and all your data and settings are there.  With the exception of programs.
[05:40] <NarutoUz> dooglus> seems eth0 (my netowrk card) isn't yet initialised at this stage of boot (ifconfig is returning only the 'lo' loopback) and dhclient is failing=> I'll have to do it without using the net. Is there a way I can do it from an install/live CD like one does when restoring Grub?
[05:40] <unimatrix9> sudo apt-get install testdisk , then after installing : tesdisk --help to see options..
[05:40] <dooglus> ariane: you mounted the ubuntu partition OK and can see your files?
[05:40] <gavintlgold> Xyhthyx: that might work... but someone on another room said to remove a file in /tmp so I'll try that first
[05:41] <gavintlgold> Xyhthyx: we'll see what happens
[05:41] <ariane> dooglus: yes. i'm copying the ones i want to keep
[05:41] <BoSJo> dooglus : No, still cant open Synaptic Package Manager
[05:41] <dooglus> BoSJo: what does 'sudo apt-get upgrade' tell you?
[05:41] <dylock> h1st0: ok, so backup my /home ( i guess ill make a copy of it on the other harddrive, and then when i install i specify the /home on that harddrive?
[05:41] <reon> Jack_Sparrow, I tried but I cant seem to find it.
[05:41] <unimatrix9> ariane did you have e-mails , then check the hidden files in you home too , for example .evolution...

[05:42] <benjk> hi, does anybody know in what kind of format the hwaddress should be in /etc/network/interfaces ?
[05:42] <Jabu> Is the filesystem automaticly mounted? I need a volume on that disk? How to create one on that disk? So many questions...
[05:42] <BoSJo> dooglus : E: The package mfc8420lpr needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[05:42] <bXi> http://apparoat.nl/Screenshot.png
[05:42] <benjk> is it like 00:00:00: ....
[05:42] <benjk> or is it without colons?
[05:42] <dooglus> NarutoUz: sounds like you've got bigger problems than just xorg not working.
[05:42] <ariane> unimatrix9: i only use hotmail and gmail.
[05:42] <BoSJo> dooglus : might just try a reinstall perhaps?
[05:42] <unimatrix9> hehe , ok
[05:43] <dooglus> BoSJo: what is mfc8420lpr?
[05:43] <NarutoUz> dooglus> yeh when your windows dual boot goes nasty it tries to take out as much of other working oS's as it can
[05:43] <BoSJo> dooglus : Its a printer driver for Brother MFC 8420
[05:43] <ariane> unimatrix9: ok. i backed up what i wanted to keep. what do i do next?
[05:43] <Filthpig> sigh
[05:43] <unimatrix9> bXi leuk desktopje hoor!
[05:43] <unimatrix9> sudo apt-get install testdisk , then after installing : tesdisk --help to see options..
[05:43] <dooglus> NarutoUz: seriously?  I've never had Windows damage Linux at all, other than overwriting the bootloader, and offering to reformat the linux partitions if I try to access them from Windows
[05:43] <unimatrix9> could be an idea
[05:44] <Jack_Sparrow> reon: You start mixing and matching things like the gutsy kernal... things happen
[05:44] <dooglus> BoSJo: how did you install it?
[05:44] <bXi> unimatrix9: moet nog icons fixen :P
[05:44] <dooglus> BoSJo: I don't see it in the repos
[05:44] <robert__> just finished setting up ubuntu it works great! better than ms

[05:44] <robert__> anyone know how to view multiple desktop cubes at the same time
[05:45] <unimatrix9> bXi : it will become so nice looking ;)
[05:45] <soccermike1337> does anyone know why i can't install themes?
[05:45] <NarutoUz> dooglus> well basically windows seemed to be damaging random sections of HD every time it was loaded....smells like some kind of virus or something. Anyway I forbid it being used until I could sort it. Then my brother returned from abroad - booted it up - and all hell broke loose again.
[05:45] <jrib> Drizzt321: system -> preferences -> screensaver
[05:45] <dooglus> ariane: you can back up your entire home directory into a compressed tar archive if you like:  tar cfj ~/ubuntu-backup.tbz /mount/ubuntu/home/ariane/
[05:45] <soccermike1337> whenever i try, it installs part of the theme, but it doesnt install the window borders or any of that
[05:45] <dooglus> NarutoUz: very odd.
[05:45] <Filthpig> soccermike1337: using beryl or smth?
[05:46] <Jack_Sparrow> reon: /usr/share/gdm/themes/circles
[05:46] <NarutoUz> dooglus> windows if for a complete reinstall just as soon as I get ubuntu in working order (I like the family using it because it's stable...doesn't break...and generates less work for me)
[05:46] <soccermike1337> nope
[05:46] <soccermike1337> im just using the standard gnome theme installer
[05:46] <Drizzt321> jrib: weird...that wasn't there the last time I looked. I could swear...
[05:46] <jrib> soccermike1337: metacity themes do window borders, gtk2 themes do controls like buttons and scrollbars
[05:46] <dooglus> NarutoUz: you can always comment out the Windows entry in the grub config file...
[05:46] <soccermike1337> it used to work, but all of a sudden it doesnt work anymore
[05:46] <jrib> Drizzt321: heh
[05:46] <soccermike1337> oh..
[05:46] <BoSJo> dooglus : No grapped it directly from brother.com, For Debian and just clicked yes to letting gdebi-gtk open it
[05:46] <reon> Jack_Sparrow, weird as I added the gutsy kernel to my pc as well but I dont have the error and I cannot find it under /user/share/gdm. Only reason I had to update to gutsy kernel was to fix a feisty kernel issue where the laptop fan would not turn on and the laptop ends up over heating and shutting down.
[05:46] <soccermike1337> what about the title bar?
[05:47] <NarutoUz> dooglus> was about to do it the day before my bro came home. Then convinced myself it wasn't worth going downstairs - my parents already knew not to use it.
[05:47] <dooglus> BoSJo: try reinstalling from that .deb then I guess
[05:47] <jrib> soccermike1337: metacity themes (if you use metacity)
[05:47] <soccermike1337> yeah.. the window border... ive installed new window borders through gtk before
[05:47] <dooglus> NarutoUz: ssh?
[05:47] <BoSJo> dooglus : will do
[05:47] <olivier__> Hi everyone!
[05:47] <dooglus> NarutoUz: if I had to go visit my parents every time I needed to admin their ubuntu machines I'd be spending a lot of money of flights :)
[05:47] <meoblast001> how do you open a file in XMMS? my playlist editor wont appear so i need an alternative method
[05:47] <soccermike1337> ohhh wait.. what is murrine?
[05:48] <unimatrix9> diner ready , bye all
[05:48] <dylock> i think the lesson ive learned with windows and ubuntu is never to upgrade
[05:48] <meoblast001> nvm
[05:48] <NarutoUz> Anyone know if I can reinstall ubuntu without losing files in users home directories by opting not to format the file system?
[05:48] <dylock> upgrade==bad
[05:48] <NarutoUz> would i need to use a different username to prevent the OS clearing out the old files?
[05:48] <Jack_Sparrow> dooglus: do they have static ip... I have to call and get it from mine to adim theirs
[05:49] <dooglus> NarutoUz: I've never tried reinstalling ubuntu.  I would guess that it has an option to leave existing /home files alone, but I don't know.
[05:49] <stefg> NarutoUz: reformatting is mandatory, the installer won't let you install without reformatting
[05:49] <reon> Jack_Sparrow, thx, will check it on her laptop.
[05:49] <robert__> anyone know how to view my 6 existing cubes on one screen?
[05:49] <NarutoUz> argh.
[05:49] <dooglus> Jack_Sparrow: I put a 'wget' line in their ifup.d/ to a page on my webserver
[05:49] <NarutoUz> even in 6.10?
[05:49] <dooglus> Jack_Sparrow: so I can check my server logs to get the ip
[05:49] <Jack_Sparrow> robert__: alt down?
[05:49] <stefg> NarutoUz: what keeps you from backing up /home to an archive and restore after install?
[05:50] <chris^>  Anyone know where I can set the Directory from the Gnome-Desktop? it's /home/$username now, but I want that it's /home/$username/desktop, how it's by default...
[05:50] <NarutoUz> stefg> the job probably needs a screwdriver for one thing. Ubuntu's messed up pretty bad. I've got a terminal window but no networking
[05:50] <Jack_Sparrow> dooglus: ok... easier for me to have them run my widget and tell me the number
[05:50] <zinho> Serious problem: in Gnome power management crashes totally (keyboard and mouse die out), and I cannot get it disabled from "Power Management". in my KDE there seems not to be any management at all? Help needed!
[05:50] <NarutoUz> if the drives are going to be formatted there's not much safe place for it...
[05:50] <NarutoUz> suppose I could try popping them on the windows partition......
[05:50] <NarutoUz> *scratces head*
[05:51] <dylock> will reinstalling try and format my second harddrive?
[05:51] <Jack_Sparrow> NarutoUz: You can compress home to a tar and save it on the windows partition as well
[05:51] <stefg> NarutoUz: do you have another partiton where you can copy /home to ?
[05:51] <dooglus> Jack_Sparrow: that's what I do if they're in Windows
[05:51] <NarutoUz> stefg> my HD has quite a few partitions. however all save one are for ubuntu.
[05:52] <newbie-in-linux> ok, i got it, for fuck'sake
[05:52] <NarutoUz> narutoUz> my swap is a separate partition, my home folder is already a separate partition
[05:52] <newbie-in-linux> bye
[05:52] <NarutoUz> stefg> that's why I thought I'd get off without reformatting.....
[05:52] <NarutoUz> stefg> thought it might just be root that needed to be reformatted.
[05:53] <rayne3rr0r> how do i make a drive writable in bootable unbuntu
[05:53] <dooglus> NarutoUz: according to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=166626 you can reinstall without reformatting
[05:53] <Jack_Sparrow> rayne3rr0r: ntfs partition
[05:53] <olivier__> I have a probleme with ubuntu.... i've already search on google but I didn't find any issue on that.... When I login I ear the greeting sound, but after, i cannot play any sound in any program or tools like rhythmbox. elisa, totem, vlc or anything..... can someone help me???
[05:53] <rayne3rr0r> yes
[05:53] <stefg> NarutoUz: so what? just install on the / (root) and add the /home later in fstab. reformatting is mandatory for the / (root) fs, to be precise, not for /home if it is separate already

[05:54] <robert__> please?
[05:54] <jrib> !anyone | robert__
[05:54] <ubotu> robert__: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[05:54] <johnsie> hi, where is the system contrab file?
[05:55] <gh0sty2k> and i am trying to connet to a share yet it will not recognise my password, any ideas?
[05:55] <binanet> what issue?
[05:55] <dooglus> BoSJo: from the command line: dpkg -i <file.deb>
[05:55] <robert__> ok... i have 6 desktop cubes running... how can i view them simultaneously
[05:55] <jrib> !crontab > johnsie (see the private message from ubotu)
[05:55] <dooglus> BoSJo: apt-get works with package names, not .deb files directly
[05:55] <dooglus> BoSJo: that's why I'm suggesting dpkg
[05:55] <binanet> whoa
[05:55] <tatters> ok I decided to bite bullet and sync my enitre /home/ with my laptop seems I need to login in and out to makes the changes but apart from some files that needed filtering out, it seems my koffice,firefox,dekstop settings and data etc have been succesfully cloned
[05:56] <gh0sty2k> How do i enable remote desktop in sharezaa using the terminal
[05:56] <johnsie> ubotu doesnt know about contrab
[05:56] <Jack_Sparrow> robert__: Try #Ubuntu-effects for answers about that
[05:56] <gh0sty2k> How do i enable remote desktop using the terminal
[05:56] <dooglus> gh0sty2k: it's best not to use vino - it's very broken still in ubuntu.  get vncserver or similar instead
[05:57] <gh0sty2k> it works..
[05:57] <gh0sty2k> im using vnc
[05:57] <gh0sty2k> but it seems like its not enabled
[05:57] <gh0sty2k> and i cant access any file shares
[05:57] <Flatfender> Can anyone lend a hand getting an external hard drive to work? When I plug it in to the usb I can see the drive is there but I can't actually get to any of the files it gives me the following error hal-storage-removable-mount-all-options refused uid 1000

[05:58] <dooglus> it's for accessing

[05:59] <buntunub> hey guys, can i upgrade fiesty to gutsy in october without screwing up my /home folder or my system settings?
[05:59] <soccermike1337> is there anyway to install the newest gtk with apt-get?
[05:59] <dooglus> buntunub: who knows what state it will be in by October?
[05:59] <monkeyBox> Where does the NetworkManager PPTP plugin store its configurations?  Also, where does it store debug output?
[05:59] <Seveas> monkeyBox, configuration: probably in gconf
[05:59] <buntunub> i dont get it dooglus
[05:59] <bullgard4> I have followed the procedure outlined in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelSuspend but did not obtain another 'hash matches' line beyond the 1st. Just bad luck? No chance to debug kernel suspend?
[05:59] <NarutoUz> Renaming my home folder to save myself is meeting with 'Bareword "defaultuser"not allowed while !stric subs! in use at (eval1 ) line 1.........any clue what that means?
[05:59] <Seveas> monkeyBox, output: in syslog
[06:00] <Pici> bullgard4: Yes, you can upgrade using the update-manager when gutsy is released.
[06:00] <tatters> if I boot up live cd and mount a folder does the file permission still persist?
[06:00] <dooglus> BoSJo: what if you "sudo touch /etc/init.d/lpd" then try again?
[06:00] <Seveas> NarutoUz, that you're using some odd perlscript to do renaming
[06:00] <chris^>  Anyone know where I can set the Directory from the Gnome-Desktop? it's /home/$username now, but I want that it's /home/$username/desktop, how it's by default...
[06:00] <blackhole> Hi, i have a modem connected on my serial port. What is the command to check which port it is connected to?
[06:00] <gh0sty2k> Ok, 2 problems. Firstly, i am trying to remote desktop to the ubuntu server and it does not seem to connect, so i think its not been enabled when i restarted ubuntu, how do i enable unbuntu's remote desktop via terminal. And secondly, i am trying to access the hard drives in the ubuntu machine, when i use \\ip\ in windows it asks for a username and pass which is the same one used for the ubuntu box but it fails.
[06:00] <buntunub> if i apt-get dist-upgrade to gutsy in october, will that destroy my /home partition?
[06:00] <Xero> No
[06:00] <dooglus> buntunub: the idea is that you will be able to, yes.
[06:01] <buntunub> ahh
[06:01] <NarutoUz> seveas> ah. Can I ask what I shold be using then? This is the way I've always done it
[06:01] <bullgard4> Pici: Yes I am longing for the Gutsy release and its 2.5.22 kernel.
[06:01] <dooglus> chris^: what do you want to do?
[06:01] <Jack_Sparrow> blackhole: dmesg | grep ttyS

[06:01] <GottferDamnt> oh Seveas...
[06:01] <Pici> bullgard4: Er, I meant to say that to buntunub, sorry.
[06:01] <dooglus> chris^: "set the directory" of what?
[06:01] <BoSJo> dooglus : not much, just went back to # without any changes
[06:01] <gh0sty2k> ?
[06:01] <monkeyBox> Ugh.  I had pptp working on my old box, but can't get it working in ubuntu
[06:02] <blackhole> Jack_Sparrow, How can i check like which modem it is?
[06:02] <dooglus> BoSJo: right, but then try the dpkg thing again - the one you pasted output from
[06:02] <blackhole> Jack_Sparrow, Say i have two modem one on ttyS0
[06:02] <blackhole> and another on ttyS1
[06:02] <BoSJo> dooglus : *Blushing*
[06:02] <Jack_Sparrow> blackhole: It should show up as ttySx                Test in terminal sudo screen /dev/ttySx

[06:03] <dooglus> chris^: oh, I see.  any file you drag to the desktop ends up in your home directory?
[06:03] <BoSJo> dooglus : http://pastebin.ca/688725
[06:03] <Seveas> n-iCe, sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[06:03] <h1st0> !ssh > n-iCe
[06:04] <Fxyz4ever> what does this mean:
[06:04] <Fxyz4ever>  /var/cache/apt/archives/compiz-gnome_1%3a0.5.5~git20070828+3v1ubuntu0_i386.deb
[06:04] <Fxyz4ever> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[06:04] <chris^> dooglus: yes. And I see everything that is in my home directory on my desktop. A Big story, startet with a deleted Desktop directory (don't want do that, but happened :P)
[06:04] <SPArk65> Can anyone help me with ndiswrapper? I cant remove driver thats in use
[06:04] <gh0sty2k> how do i enable ubuntus remote desktop feature via terminal.. its not located in my room anymore so can only access via ssh
[06:04] <h1st0> !ndiswrapper > SPArk65
[06:04] <n-iCe> ok Seveas :D
[06:04] <soccermike1337> does anyone know how to add the GTK repository?
[06:05] <bXi> does someone know where i can find the firefox icon?
[06:05] <dooglus> BoSJo: oh, it's trying to run lpd?  what does "ls -l /etc/init.d/lpd" show?
[06:05] <h1st0> gh0sty2k: you could install vncserver or something.
[06:05] <danielvijge> SPArk65: try 'sudo modprobe -r drive_name'
[06:05] <bXi> i have an icon set now but it replaced the firefox icon with that of konqueror
[06:05] <monkeyBox> Seveas Does the pptp client plugin not execute pptp-client?  If so, wouldn't it need to read the config files in /etc/ppp?  I don't see how pptp-client can read gconf
[06:05] <dooglus> chris^: any idea what you did just before that happened?
[06:05] <gh0sty2k> h1st0 but if i can enable the inbuilt one remotley it would be quicker, lol
[06:05] <h1st0> gh0sty2k: to enable XDMCP?  though you may have to hunt around on the forums
[06:05] <Flatfender> The only thing I seem to find when I search is booting ubuntu from an external drive, I just need it for file storage but I can't get it to mount when I plug it in I keep getting this error:hal-storage-removable-mount-all-options refused uid 1000 any clues what I'm doing wrong?
[06:05] <BoSJo> dooglus : -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2007-09-09 18:01 /etc/init.d/lpd
[06:05] <robert__> how do i make a  file "/dev/radio0" so that a program can use it
[06:05] <h1st0> gh0sty2k: well thats what I believe the default one does is just enables vncserver.
[06:06] <gh0sty2k> h1st0 thats fine, how do i enable that one via ssh
[06:06] <Seveas> monkeyBox, I've never actually used the pptp client plugin but other n-m stuff is all stored in gconf
[06:06] <gh0sty2k> h1st0 i dont have access to the box from where i am u see.. and want to use the gui
[06:06] <chris^> dooglus: I deleted that directory. Then Gnome says "Ohh, your Desktop is in ~/.Trash/Desktop". Yes! I deleted it (rm -r) because I can't move it to /home/username/... I think.. well, It will use the existing directory ~/Desktop... but it makes the dir ~/.Trash/Desktop.. then I rm'ed .Trash, the Trash ordner was maked correctly, but from then on it uses after a reboot ~ for Desktop
[06:07] <SPArk65> h1st0: Problem is when i try to delete it via console (sudo ndiswrapper -r [driver] ) its says: "Inappropriate ioctl for device"
[06:07] <dooglus> BoSJo: have you been deleting stuff by hand?  it can't find the script for removing the package that it expects to
[06:07] <h1st0> gh0sty2k: ahh well actually the default one shares the desktop some how it doesn't enable another instance of X on a different display
[06:07] <h1st0> gh0sty2k: I have no idea how to do what you are asking.
[06:07] <n-iCe> Seveas donde, now?
[06:07] <Macca> Anyone up for helping a linux newbie diagnose his ubuntu lockup problem?
[06:07] <Xero> Mecca, yeah
[06:07] <Seveas> n-iCe, now people can ssh to your machine if they have an account on it
[06:07] <gh0sty2k> h1st0 so if i locked the screen on the machine, i cant access again using the inbuilt one unless i install vncserver?
[06:08] <Xero> What's the porblem
[06:08] <Macca> Hey Xero, thanks
[06:08] <Macca> Okay, Toshiba Satellite laptop
[06:08] <BoSJo> dooglus : Nope, havent touched anything. But i figure that Firefox stored the file in a temp folder??? and when things went wrong, deleted the file from the Temp folder???
[06:08] <Macca> intermittently the desktop freezes
[06:08] <n-iCe> Seveas ok, how do I create the accounts ?
[06:08] <Macca> (ubuntu 7.04)
[06:08] <Xero> I need more detail.
[06:08] <Macca> cannot move mouse
[06:08] <Macca> cannot type
[06:08] <h1st0> gh0sty2k: The inbuilt one is quite differnt. Like I say I don't know enough about it to help.
[06:08] <Macca> picture remains frozen
[06:08] <Xero> Is there anything in particular you are doing when it does this?
[06:08] <Macca> seemingly nothing special
[06:08] <gh0sty2k> h1st0 how do i install vncserver ? do u have any good guides?
[06:08] <Seveas> n-iCe, system -> administration -> users and groups
[06:08] <Macca> browsing, etc
[06:08] <SPArk65> danielvijge: Module not found. But i have to remove driver FROM ndiswrapper
[06:09] <Jack_Sparrow> Macca: how much ram do you have in that pc
[06:09] <h1st0> !vnc | gh0sty2k
[06:09] <ubotu> gh0sty2k: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX
[06:09] <Macca> I orginally thought it was related to flash apps
[06:09] <gh0sty2k> thanks
[06:09] <n-iCe> Seveas on console mode ^^
[06:09] <Macca> but no longer believe that
[06:09] <monkeyBox> ugh.  the NM pptp plugin is not giving very good debug messages
[06:09] <Seveas> n-iCe, sudo adduser
[06:09] <Xero> Does it hAve an intel video card in it?
[06:09] <h1st0> !FreeNX > gh0sty2k
[06:09] <chris^> dooglus: any idea?
[06:09] <Xero> Sorry. Caps lock got hit.
[06:09] <n-iCe> Seveas i get it, can they use my login account?
[06:09] <Macca> sometimes if I leave it alone, it will come back after 30 seconds or so
[06:09] <`RiffRaff> heyas ... I have a problem with xserver
[06:09] <Jack_Sparrow> Macca: how much ram do you have in that pc
[06:09] <gh0sty2k> h1st0 any ideas why i am unable to access shares on my unbuntu box through windows? it keeps rejecting the password?
[06:09] <Seveas> n-iCe, sure
[06:09] <Macca> and tells me the network connection is down
[06:09] <Macca> then works fine again
[06:09] <Macca> will check video card Xero, brb
[06:10] <Jack_Sparrow> Macca: Also check how much you are swapping to disk
[06:10] <BoSJo> dooglus : Just clicked download link and clicked yes to open with gdebi-gtk
[06:10] <binanet> gh0sty2k : would you consider ftp client
[06:10] <SPArk65> Can someone help me? I cant remove a driver FROM ndiswrapper
[06:10] <h1st0> gh0sty2k: you need to edit your smb.conf there is a great howto on ubuntu guide site.  You can even set it so it doens't prompt for password
[06:10] <`RiffRaff> xserver will not come up and I used the dpkg reconfigure command
[06:10] <Fxyz4ever> americans and britons
[06:10] <n-iCe> Seveas thank you, btw, openssh-server i can't download it is temporarly unavaliable
[06:10] <Fxyz4ever> f*ck y'all
[06:10] <dooglus> BoSJo: do this:  sudo bash -c 'echo "#!/bin/sh" > /etc/init.d/lpd; chmod 755 /etc/init.d/lpd
[06:11] <gh0sty2k> h1st0 one last question, is it possible for ubuntu to link to an active directory domain in windows?
[06:11] <dooglus> BoSJo: then try the dpkg again?
[06:11] <meoblast001> hello... how do i set up an external printer connected to a Windows machine?
[06:11] <dooglus> chris^: not yet - still looking
[06:11] <h1st0> gh0sty2k: I believe so let me give you a good site hold up
[06:11] <gh0sty2k> thanks
[06:11] <NoVARaif> Afternoon all.  Quick question ...  Is it possible to link / sync a users smb password with their regular account password?
[06:11] <h1st0> gh0sty2k: ubuntuguide.org
[06:11] <Skyfalcon866> is it safe to install KDE in ubuntu
[06:11] <Macca> Jack: how do I check how much I'm swapping to disk?
[06:11] <monkeyBox> Does anyone here use the pptp plugin for NetworkManager?
[06:11] <gh0sty2k> thnks
[06:12] <Jack_Sparrow> Skyfalcon866: Yes
[06:12] <Seveas> Skyfalcon866, yup
[06:12] <b0uncer> Skyfalcon866: yeah but your menus will get mixed up
[06:12] <Seveas> Skyfalcon866, it'll only kill your brain, not your machine ;)
[06:12] <b0uncer> you'll get a lot of apps there from Gnome and KDE
[06:12] <Macca> Xero: Intel Corporation Express Integrated Graphics Controller, is that it?
[06:12] <Skyfalcon866> what do you mean
[06:12] <h1st0> gh0sty2k: that site has a lot of howto's specifically for things you are asking.
[06:12] <rayne3rr0r> i cant write to my drives it says i dont have permisions but i did what the site said to
[06:12] <Jack_Sparrow> Skyfalcon866: Many people install kubuntu desktop and select which one at the login
[06:12] <gh0sty2k> thnks h1st0
[06:12] <dooglus> Skyfalcon866: it adds a bunch of crappy apps to your GNOME start menu and eats a bunch of disk space, but otherwise yet
[06:12] <SPArk65> anyone... please help
[06:12] <dooglus> Skyfalcon866: it adds a bunch of crappy apps to your GNOME start menu and eats a bunch of disk space, but otherwise yes
[06:12] <danielvijge> NoVARaif: yes, just see the sambo config file, it explains what to do
[06:12] <Filthpig> b0uncer: it'll take ten minutes to edit those apps away from the menus
[06:12] <BoSJo> dooglus : just stays at >
[06:12] <Skyfalcon866> i still have 7gigs of / left
[06:13] <Filthpig> that's plenty
[06:13] <b0uncer> Filthpig: not in my experience...and they keep on popping up whenever you install any program to Gnome or KDE, at both menus, and you'll have to re-clean them again
[06:13] <olivier__> I have a probleme with ubuntu.... i've already search on google but I didn't find any issue on that.... When I login I ear the greeting sound, but after, i cannot play any sound in any program or tools like rhythmbox. elisa, totem, vlc or anything..... can someone help me???
[06:13] <NoVARaif> danielvijge: thanks!  off to google / read it :)  cheers!
[06:13] <dooglus> BoSJo: hit control-c to get back to a proper prompt, and I'll check my command
[06:13] <dooglus> BoSJo: do this:  sudo bash -c 'echo "#!/bin/sh" > /etc/init.d/lpd; chmod 755 /etc/init.d/lpd'
[06:13] <dooglus> BoSJo: (I missed the last quote, sorry)
[06:13] <Skyfalcon866> when will 2.6.22 be used
[06:13] <Jack_Sparrow> !sound
[06:13] <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
[06:13] <monkeyBox> I don't think dmesg output shows actual "pon" output
[06:14] <Skyfalcon866> would i be able to remove the crap that KDE puts in the gnome menu?
[06:14] <Seveas> Skyfalcon866, yup
[06:14] <Seveas> Skyfalcon866, rightclick on the ubuntu logo and select 'edit menus' :)
[06:14] <Skyfalcon866> ok thanks =)
[06:14] <bXi> http://apparoat.nl/Screenshot.png finished desktop pimpage
[06:14] <dooglus> Skyfalcon866: if you use aptitude to install kde-desktop, then uninstalling kde-desktop with aptitude will (offer to?) uninstall all the crap that comes with it

[06:15] <BoSJo> dooglus : No need to say any sorrys here :-) Im just happy to get help :-) :-) http://pastebin.ca/688740
[06:15] <b0uncer> Skyfalcon866: you can manually clean everything up after installing KDE on Ubuntu or Gnome on Kubuntu, and you can in some circumstances even try to prevent the menu-mixup from happening before installing the other desktop, but it's just too much hazzle :)
[06:15] <b0uncer> one desktop should do it
[06:15] <Macca> and Swap: 1435 used: 33
[06:15] <BoSJo> seems i can now start Synaptic again :-)
[06:15] <higgylm> does anyone know where i can get this package? libxalan-c
[06:15] <Skyfalcon866> i want to to try out KDE gnome is just too simple
[06:15] <Martin_-_> I got a problem with Warcraft III and frozen thoren, when i have installed WC3 ROC and going for the frozen throne expansion, he tells me that i need to install ROC but i already done that!

[06:16] <stefg> !printer | meoblast001
[06:16] <ubotu> meoblast001: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[06:16] <dooglus> BoSJo: I don't know if this printer driver is ever going to work - but we should eventually get synaptic working again

[06:17] <chris^> dooglus: I just solved the problem
[06:17] <Macca> Jack_sparrow: Firefox using 12.9% but that's the biggest
[06:17] <BoSJo> dooglus : Well if the driver dossent work, aint a big deal, the printer works as it is, its just so blooooody slow
[06:18] <Filthpig> `RiffRaff: did you choose the "nv" driver when reconfiguring?
[06:18] <stefg> !nvidia | `RiffRaff
[06:18] <ubotu> `RiffRaff: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto

[06:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Macca: You are having lockups and slow-downs right... you are using a lot of ram and that may be where you will find an answer
[06:20] <BoSJo> dooglus : Just did, but now I cant Copy/Paste......hang on
[06:20] <Edi> Hi man
[06:20] <kruqnut> hmm why isn't the cube rotating
[06:20] <Macca> Jack: it doesn't seem to slow down, just freezes
[06:20] <kruqnut> it zooms out
[06:20] <kruqnut> but wont rotate
[06:20] <chris^> dooglus: in .config there is a file... ;))
[06:20] <Macca> no worries Jack, thanks, I'll investigate the ram usage
[06:20] <Jack_Sparrow> kruqnut: ask in #Ubuntu-effects
[06:20] <kruqnut> ok
[06:20] <kruqnut> thanks
[06:20] <Flatfender> Frogzoo, I assume I'm not, I don't see it listed under my user groups. Do I just add plugdev to Add Group?

[06:22] <reon> Why would nautilus exit when browsing a windows network. Works on my laptop but not a friends ?
[06:23] <dooglus> roostishaw: wget is /usr/bin/wget

[06:24] <mortenwb> hello! how do i find the root password? when i installed ubuntu i only created a password for my user
[06:24] <BoSJo> dooglus : Hea ha ha, I wonder why :-)
[06:24] <Macca> Jack: sorry to bug you again, but I can't seem to find any apps that are using excessive memory
[06:24] <Macca> and yet excessive memory is being used
[06:24] <bulmer> higgylm: did you google for it?
[06:24] <Macca> suggestions?
[06:24] <BoSJo> dooglus : Thanks a million :-)
[06:24] <dooglus> BoSJo: no worries
[06:25] <dooglus> higgylm: what's the -c for?
[06:25] <bulmer> mortenwb: use same password as the user when you sudo
[06:25] <BoSJo> dooglus : Do I dare installing the other driver needed *LOL*
[06:25] <Al00> Any suggestions for a good GUI-based CD ripper for Ubuntu?
[06:25] <dooglus> !root
[06:25] <ubotu> 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

[06:26] <mortenwb> i have xp and ubuntu on the laptop, and now im removing xp
[06:26] <Jack_Sparrow> Macca: What all do you have open...?
[06:26] <mortenwb> dooglus: i cant delete anything on them... :(
[06:27] <binanet> mortenwb : what is the partition type?
[06:27] <dooglus> mortenwb: filesystems have permissions, but probably you have mounted the partitions with the wrong umask, or readonly
[06:27] <Jack_Sparrow> mortenwb: unmount them
[06:27] <broedje> i cannot access my virtual consoles through ctrl-alt- finction keys
[06:27] <Macca> Jack, biggest mem user right now is Xorg at 5%
[06:27] <Macca> gaim at 4%, nautilus at 3
[06:27] <mortenwb> hmm
[06:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Macca: You need to be looking at that when you are having problems
[06:27] <chris^> dooglus: .config/user-dirs.dirs - there is "XDG_DESKTOP_DIR" Variable, which I set from ~ to ~/Desktop, works
[06:28] <Macca> Okey dokey, just that my total mem use doesn't seem to gel with the sum of the components

[06:28] <mortenwb> binanet: its the windows partitions im trying to erase

[06:29] <Jack_Sparrow> bios
[06:29] <dooglus> chris^: I don't even have that file.  you might find that removing it also fixes the problem
[06:29] <binanet> mortenwb : windows usualy fat32 or ntfs, which one?
[06:29] <reon> Why would nautilus exit when browsing a windows network. Works on my laptop but not a friends ?
[06:29] <josephdecock> is incremental search (find as you type) available in konqueror?
[06:29] <dooglus> reon: sounds like a bug.

[06:42] <nathan___> yes vnc man

[06:43] <Lichnet> bruenig, nathan__ Ye i can move unlocking it. But it isnt cool to start icons in the wrong. Sometimes also when i start gnome the connection balloon saying im connected is in wrong place too. It starts like under System. If its bug i (we) would like them corrected ?
[06:43] <OrangeMonkey> it's she'll have NO and I mean NO Idea how to do anything with it
[06:43] <OrangeMonkey> trust me she is really skilled limited
[06:43] <Keule|On> bye guys you helped me a lot :(

[06:43] <dooglus> Keule|On: take care
[06:43] <OrangeMonkey> it took my like 5 - 10 min to get her to find /$user/Music
[06:43] <bruenig> unlocking, that's funny, i still don't understand why they have that option to lock icons
[06:44] <Lichnet> bruenig, man its boring
[06:44] <nathan___> OrangeMonkey: probably because /$user/Music doesn't exist on Windows Vista
[06:44] <Keule|On> i wanted to update my souces.list and there where errors....
[06:44] <rayne3rr0r> can anyone help me mount a nfts parti on a live ubuntu cd
[06:44] <Keule|On> im a ubuntu n00b or is this not allowed
[06:44] <Lichnet> bruenig, When something goes wrong, all of your icons are by default LOCKED. Then u have to unlock one by one to fix your prob
[06:44] <rayne3rr0r> in read write mode
[06:44] <OrangeMonkey> no I know I just short formed C:\User\deanna\Music
[06:44] <bruenig> Lichnet, don't lock them
[06:44] <nathan___> OrangeMonkey: she doesn't have to do anything with it just intall it once and that's it forever
[06:44] <Lichnet> bruenig, Icons come locked by default in ubuntu's gnome
[06:44] <bruenig> Lichnet, unlock them
[06:45] <dooglus> Keule|On: it's allowed, but if you add repos with errors, you'll get errors
[06:45] <OrangeMonkey> I would be surprised if she would install it
[06:45] <nathan___> OrangeMonkey: you can even turn off the asking her for permission feature
[06:45] <tbeard> Wait I can't edit it in here.
[06:45] <Lichnet> bruenig, mine are man, im justing talking about it
[06:45] <dylock> baa im stuck in my computer room in my boxers and my wife just invited a frient in
[06:45] <dooglus> Keule|On: I see 'GPG' in the errors - maybe it's saying the packages aren't signed, or that you don't have the key, or maybe something else.
[06:45] <nickrud> Keule|On: you should first disable your non - ubuntu sources, and make sure the ubuntu ones are working correctly. Then move on
[06:45] <dooglus> Keule|On: did you try reading the error messages?

[06:45] <Keule|On> this is the list

[06:45] <bruenig> Lichnet, ubuntu does some unnecessary things, a lot of them, to complain about them is silly when you have so much variety to choose from

[06:47] <tbeard> Then to fix that I reinstalled Ubuntu on another p
[06:47] <nickrud> Keule|On: ok, still, disable all the non ubuntu ones first. There's a conflict in there somewhere
[06:47] <Jack_Sparrow> tbeard: Easy to fix
[06:47] <nathan___> Lichnet: your point is there may be a bug right? you may be right but here isn't the proper place for reporting them; we aren't the dev team and the solution is to either fix the bug yourself or report it. sorry man.

[06:56] <Jack_Sparrow> monkeyBox: You could turn them all off and link to the ones you want
[06:56] <usser> mfolnovich: yep since some version precompiled kernel modules are not supplied with the driver
[06:56] <usser> mfolnovich: so u have to compile them yourself?
[06:56] <nickrud> n-iCe: there's a problem with the repositories you're using, try another.
[06:57] <mfolnovich> usser, kernel of fglrx or linux-kernel ?
[06:57] <lnx> i change my keyboard layout from global to application and its auto return to global when i close kcontrol what i can do ?

[07:06] <whyameye> x-demon: I don't know the direct answer to your question. When grub loads, you should play with changing the boot options i.e. hd(0,1) instead of hd(0,0) etc. and you should check out this thread: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=&threadid=237511

[07:18] <Tiradin> I tried installing Ubuntu Studio on an IBM Thinkpad T23. It was going fine until the "Select and install packages" stage. It failed to complete that step, and afterwards wasn't able to install either bootloader (GRUB or LILO). It basically made the entire installation null.
[07:19] <mfolnovich> usser: know how to solve this?
[07:19] <Piddy> Can anyone help me out with a movie?
[07:19] <triptec> is there anyway to compare directorys?
[07:19] <UrbenLegend> zachary: you mean install a tv dvd player, not a computer dvd drive?
[07:19] <usser> mfolnovich: heh, no, sorry but checkout ati guide
[07:19] <h1st0> Tiradin: you can boot the live cd and install grub
[07:19] <usser> !ati | mfolnovich
[07:19] <ubotu> mfolnovich: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:19] <zachary> no, just so I can play DvDs w/ computer DvD Rom
[07:19] <mfolnovich> usser: ok, tnx, I'll look at that
[07:19] <h1st0> Tiradin: you may want to ask the studio people?  I don't know if they are using normal repos or not seems like you had a net connectino issue.
[07:19] <Piddy> !botsnack
[07:19] <ubotu> Yum! Err, I mean, APT!
[07:19] <gh0sty2k> how do i uninstall programs via SSH?
[07:20] <UrbenLegend> zachary: you need to get libdvdcss and then some codecs
[07:20] <h1st0> gh0sty2k: just ssh in and use apt-get
[07:20] <nickrud> gh0sty2k: log into the other machine, and use the regular commands
[07:20] <UrbenLegend> !libdvdcss | zachary
[07:20] <ubotu> zachary: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[07:20] <triptec> gh0sty2k: aptitude is nice
[07:20] <gh0sty2k> h1st0 apt-get uninstall ?
[07:20] <staykovmarin> i somehow broke my update manager. it tells me i have new updates, but when i try to install them it says "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. "
[07:20] <h1st0> gh0sty2k: once you are logged in just sudo apt-get install <packagename>
[07:20] <zachary> Ty so much
[07:20] <UrbenLegend> np
[07:20] <gh0sty2k> h1st0 i dont want to install, i want to un-install
[07:20] <h1st0> gh0sty2k: unisntalling programs would be sudo apt-get remove <packagename>
[07:20] <Piddy> help? I need to play a movie, and the file is .img. How do I open it?
[07:20] <gh0sty2k> thanks
[07:20] <nickrud> staykovmarin: open a terminal, and run that command with sudo
[07:20] <Tiradin> I tried installing Ubuntu Studio on an IBM Thinkpad T23. It was going fine until the "Select and install packages" stage. It failed to complete that step, and afterwards wasn't able to install either bootloader (GRUB or LILO). It basically made the entire installation null.
[07:21] <UrbenLegend> Piddy: that's a cd image file
[07:21] <h1st0> !patience | Tiradin
[07:21] <ubotu> Tiradin: The people here are volunteers, your attitude may determine how fast you are helped.  Not everyone is available all the time, likewise not every answer is available instantly. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[07:21] <Piddy> UrbenLegend, that tells me nothing:P
[07:21] <Martin_-_> Windows got this bind Ctrl+Alt+Del to shutdown notworking process , does linux got a option like that?
[07:21] <Tiradin> sorry
[07:21] <Piddy> UrbenLegend: Is there a way to watch the movie without burning it onto a cd?
[07:21] <jonathan__> hola
[07:21] <staykovmarin> nickrud, thanks
[07:22] <h1st0> Martin_-_: System > Preferences > Shortcuts
[07:22] <UrbenLegend> Piddy: i dunno if the mount command works on .img files though
[07:22] <h1st0> Martin_-_: also a search on the forums will yield some results of how to enable that.
[07:22] <blackhole> If i if create any php file its mod should be 755, how can i do it?
[07:22] <nickrud> Tiradin: yes, you'll probably need to start over .  If it hangs, hit alt-f8 ; that's the error messages, you might see what's going wrong
[07:22] <Piddy> UrbenLegend, what you mean with daemontools or something? I think mounting works.. But how do I do it?
[07:22] <blackhole> I mean def mod of php file should be 755
[07:23] <UrbenLegend> Piddy: yeah use something like that
[07:23] <Piddy> ok
[07:23] <DMole> Piddy: you could just use vlc to play .iso files
[07:23] <UrbenLegend> DMole: does vlc support .img?
[07:23] <Piddy> Dmole: how do I change the file to iso then?
[07:23] <h1st0> blackhole: try maybe in #php
[07:23] <h1st0> Piddy: yeah vlc would prolly play it.
[07:24] <nickrud> blackhole: normally, you work in text files as 644 , then change them afterwards, when you move them to the server
[07:24] <Professor> how do I get a pcmi netgear notebook card to work it is a 5311t

[07:25] <h1st0> Professor: perhaps you need firmware for the card?
[07:25] <UrbenLegend> Piddy: but try vlc first, much easier :P
[07:25] <nickrud> Piddy: try file imgfile , it'll probably say it's an iso9660 , which is an iso file no matter what the extension is

[07:33] <Professor> the problem is I dont have a ethernet connection
[07:33] <DMole> UrbenLegend: I did find some letter saying GIMP will never do that because it belongs in a separate application
[07:33] <nickrud> Professor: vmware-server works well for that; add     deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu feisty-commercial main   to your sources.list and install vmware-server
[07:33] <h1st0> Professor: ahh.
[07:33] <Professor> so I would have to get the wireless working first
[07:33] <irc> hmm, didn't work
[07:33] <kroson> can anybody send me the latest version of wine for ubuntu?
[07:33] <nickrud> oh, well
[07:34] <kroson> because the mirror is down :P
[07:34] <h1st0> nickrud: why not suggest foss virtualbox over vmware
[07:34] <Professor> now do you understand my delema
[07:34] <kroson> or tell me another mirror to download
[07:34] <nickrud> h1st0: inertial, probably
[07:34] <UrbenLegend> DMole: any third party plugins?
[07:34] <Mark17> is it possible to reinstall ubuntu when i dont know the password/user anymore?
[07:34] <h1st0> Professor: you could download the debs on another computer and install that way.
[07:35] <kroson> can anybody send me the latest version of wine for ubuntu?
[07:35] <h1st0> Mark17: yes because you recreate the user and password when you reinstall.  if youw ant to get them back there is a way.
[07:35] <irc> anyone can help me with fglrx, kernel module version doesn't match driver!
[07:35] <h1st0> kroson: sudo apt-get install wine
[07:35] <Tiradin> I've been having problems installing a boot loader on this laptop when trying to install Ubuntu Studio
[07:35] <UrbenLegend> DMole: i guess not, open office draw has one though
[07:35] <Professor> lol I have tried that for the wireless card
[07:35] <Mark17> h1st0: i cant login and that is why i want to reinstall the system
[07:35] <zyth> PriceChild, test
[07:35] <Flannel> Mark17: Why do you want to reinstall?
[07:35] <kroson> h1st0, the mirror where the latest version is
[07:35] <kroson> the wine mirror
[07:36] <kroson> is down
[07:36] <h1st0> !grub > Tiradin read the message from ubotu
[07:36] <Flannel> Mark17: Just reset the password
[07:36] <PriceChild> zylche, hi
[07:36] <h1st0> !grub Tiradin
[07:36] <kroson> nobody has the package or alternative mirror?
[07:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about grub tiradin - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[07:36] <h1st0> !grub > Tiradin

[07:37] <h1st0> kroson: the wine website has directions and a mirror
[07:37] <blackhole> If i have installed some thing from source, how can i uninstall it?
[07:37] <nickrud> gh0sty2k: sometimes the only thing to do is get out the big hammer:  kill -9 pid
[07:37] <bXi> hmmmm
[07:37] <bXi> need to tweak a few more things
[07:37] <h1st0> dimas_: check /var/log/messages maybe  like open a terminal and tail -f /var/log/messages  then unplug and plug the camera in see what its doing.
[07:37] <kroson> h1st0, if youre talking about the wine mirror that is on that site
[07:37] <gh0sty2k> lol
[07:37] <gh0sty2k> thnks

[07:38] <bXi> where can i change the color + loading screen
[07:38] <h1st0> !splash | bXi
[07:38] <bXi> between actually entering my username and seeing my desktop
[07:38] <ubotu> bXi: To change the Gnome splash screen, use !gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor.
[07:39] <lnx> i change my keyboard layout from global to application and its auto return to global when i close kcontrol what i can do ?
[07:39] <nickrud> bXi: that's in the system-admin-login window section, I think
[07:39] <Mark17> Flannel: i dont even know the username
[07:39] <bXi> !gnome-splashscreen-manager
[07:39] <jamyskis> h1st0: nope...domains are the same
[07:39] <jamyskis> h1st0: ill have a look

[07:41] <n-iCe> how is the name? sshopen-server
[07:41] <n-iCe> or how?
[07:41] <kroson> thanks
[07:41] <nickrud> lnx: the people on #kubuntu know more about kcontro

[07:46] <ir1> gnel: np :P
[07:46] <overclucker> brownboy, there's nothing wrong with torrent, just piracy

[07:47] <brownboy> gimme an example of an irc network that talks about torrents
[07:47] <sts> brownboy: free in freenode is not like free like free beer ;-)
[07:47] <gh0sty2k> whats the sudo root -i command so i can login as root
[07:47] <brownboy> i've searched and i cannot find
[07:47] <sts> s/like/in/
[07:47] <zylche> Eh?
[07:47] <logan_> I am trying to watch a DVD with totem and it tells me I need plugins, what do I do?
[07:47] <brownboy> any irc networks that deal w/ torrents
[07:47] <logan_> I did the codecs thing and it didnt help
[07:47] <sts> brownboy: use google
[07:47] <CoasterMaster> we can talk about these torrents:
[07:47] <brownboy> any help would be appreciated.
[07:47] <CoasterMaster> !torrents | brownboy
[07:47] <ubotu> brownboy: Torrent downloads for the Ubuntu ISOs are available on all the download pages. For Feisty: http://releases.ubuntu.com/feisty/ (CDs) or http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/7.04/release/ (DVDs)
[07:47] <n-iCe> Mark17 exists antoehr package similar?
[07:47] <n-iCe> cuz i can't install that one
[07:47] <brownboy> excellent
[07:47] <ir1> gnel: I hope there will be new fglrx included (one that AMD is working on now), with that new fglrx, I can run AIGLX :)
[07:47] <brownboy> so theres SUM torrents here, legal or not
[07:47] <gh0sty2k> whats the sudo root -i command so i can login as root
[07:47] <sts> yeah, CoasterMaster lets talk about ubuntu torrents! XD
[07:47] <nickrud> Mark17: you could try mounting the partition in a live cd ; look at /etc/passwd for the user name, and in /etc/shadow remove the password hash for that user, it should allow you to log in without a passwd
[07:48] <zyz> brownboy: go to server irc.isohunt.com and join room #isoHunt
[07:48] <brownboy> this is a linux community, i can understand why u guys are all about being "free" =)
[07:48] <brownboy> thank you zyz
[07:48] <CoasterMaster> sts: i would, but I can't use torrents anymore.....damn Comcast
[07:48] <sts> CoasterMaster: comcast?

[07:48] <sts> ComunisTico: did they block it?
[07:48] <Tiradin> the grub info from ubotu doesn't exactly tell me what happened with my laptop nor really how to install GRUB when it had failed like that. My issue was while INSTALLING ubuntu Studio, not afterwards.
[07:48] <underwatercow> I just used Envy to install the latest NVIDIA drivers, and for some reason all I'm seeing for dual monitors is separate X session and TwinView... neither of which I particularly want... why is it not showing Xinerama or other modes?
[07:48] <overclucker> torrents are an exeleent way to download
[07:49] <CoasterMaster> sts:  my internet provider (big telecom monopoly in the US)....they've made it impossible to seed with there sandvine software
[07:49] <bXi> are there packages with usplash themes?
[07:49] <sts> overclucker: yeah, but they are missused by all those damn warez sites..
[07:49] <bXi> and if so ways to preview them
[07:49] <bottiger> does anyone here use nautilus/konqueror/whatever_filemanager or do you just use a shell? (please also explain why)
[07:50] <sts> bottiger: konqueror is great
[07:50] <zyz> bottiger: because ubuntu doesn't come with konqueror
[07:50] <bXi> bottiger: i usually use the shell
[07:50] <overclucker> yeah, torrents are too attractive to non-seeders
[07:50] <bottiger> zyz: kubuntu does

[07:53] <Tiradin> hmm...
[07:54] <Mark17> n-iCe: start ad the beginning and keep pushing ctrl+k

[07:58] <KurtKraut> gh0sty2k: do you have ssh access to the remote machine?
[07:58] <logan_> In windows, I was able to set my line in and microphone port as my rear and center/sub channels, is this possible in ubuntu?
[07:58] <gh0sty2k> KurtKraut yes
[07:58] <Frogzoo> valehru: it's trying to suspend or hibernate - check your power options
[07:58] <Mark17> no problem, if everyone helps everyone it save most people a lot off time
[07:58] <dug_> what's the name of the ms fonts package?
[07:59] <DMole> lol ubotu is funny
[07:59] <valehru> Frogzoo, its being set to suspend, but the problem is when I try to resume, its just a command line, xwindows is gone and crashed.
[07:59] <KurtKraut> gh0sty2k: try sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop and then repeat the command replacing the 'stop' for 'start'. Do it in the remove machine
[07:59] <bXi> hmmmmm
[07:59] <logan_> In windows, I was able to set my line in and microphone port as my rear and center/sub channels, is this possible in ubuntu?
[07:59] <dug_> is it msttcorefonts?
[07:59] <jamyskis> can anyone help with my network problem? (I've already asked)
[07:59] <KurtKraut> gh0sty2k: this will stop the vncserver also, so you should run it again.
[07:59] <bXi> i need usplash theems
[07:59] <gh0sty2k> KurtKraut then vncserver start ?
[07:59] <bXi> s/eem/eme/
[07:59] <KurtKraut> logan_: yes, double click in the 'sound' icon in the tray.
[08:00] <cox377> does anyone know the command off the toip of their head to see what java version is running
[08:00] <velko> dug_, yes
[08:00] <KurtKraut> gh0sty2k: then the command you're used to start vnc.
[08:00] <cox377> is it java --version?
[08:00] <n-iCe> How can I know who is connected to the ssh ?
[08:00] <KurtKraut> n-iCe: type w
[08:00] <Frogzoo> valehru: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[08:00] <nickrud> bXi: there's a few on gnome-look.org
[08:00] <logan_> KurtKraut I see the volume control but theres no options to do that here
[08:00] <dug_> cox377: java -version
[08:00] <KurtKraut> logan_: continue to browse the options, I'll find it.
[08:00] <velko> n-iCe, try "w" or "who"
[08:01] <n-iCe> thank you again
[08:01] <gh0sty2k> KurtKraut it shows the same thing. I use the following command to start vncserver : vncserver start
[08:01] <Filthpig> k, here we go (again): I have a Linksys WUSB54GC wireless adapter, and it runs on the rt73 chipset. Ubuntu wants to use the rt73usb driver, but that doesn't work, so I followed a howto over here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=270756&highlight=WUA-1340 (The one by TripleWithCheese) last night, and then it worked (as wlan0, before I started the whole process I had one wmaster0 and one wlan0) even though I should get a device called r
[08:01] <Filthpig> ausb0 from that howto. I didn't though, but everything worked just nice until I rebooted. Now my usb device is named rausb0 and is identified as a wired connection
[08:01] <danmurf> can someone offer some advice with wireless WPA please?
[08:01] <KurtKraut> logan_: try changing the preferences in order to make more options visible.
[08:01] <cox377> does anyone here use log me in, i'm trying to connect to a windows machine from my ubuntu but i'm getting a javaruntime error
[08:02] <KurtKraut> gh0sty2k: have you enable any kind of desktop effects in the remote machine, like Compiz or Beryl?
[08:02] <gh0sty2k> KurtKraut nope
[08:02] <KurtKraut> cox377: try using VNC
[08:02] <Filthpig> !wireless
[08:02] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[08:02] <cox377> KurtKraut: not really an option as i cant access their router
[08:02] <danmurf> I've gone through it so many times, I just need some advice now, if that's ok?
[08:03] <danmurf> my wireless card works because I've managed to connect via WEP
[08:03] <gh0sty2k> KurtKraut can i pm for a moment?
[08:03] <KurtKraut> gh0sty2k: yes
[08:03] <aa^way> hey, im trying to connect to internet with my "speedtouch router", it says i need to configure it throught 192.168.1.254 but my mozilla browser says "unable to connect"... why so , should i know anything? im at ubuntu !
[08:03] <danmurf> I've installed wpa_supplicant, and I'm being asked for a personal WPA key, but for some reason it just swirls and doesn't connect, is this normal?
[08:04] <ISIIS> hi all..
[08:04] <Filthpig> aa^way:  are you connected to the router through cable?
[08:04] <ISIIS> Why Is Ubuntu best for you?
[08:04] <Filthpig> danmurf: what chipset does your wireless dev use?
[08:05] <velko> ISIIS, it's not
[08:05] <danmurf> Broadcom 4306
[08:05] <Gnea> ISIIS: because it does what other distros and what windows cannot do for me.
[08:05] <KakaRoT-|> ISIIS: it's brainless like windows
[08:05] <MohammadBoozary> UbuntuMan: Hi
[08:05] <n-iCe> Tcl cannot be found on this system.
[08:05] <n-iCe>   Eggdrop requires Tcl to compile. If you already have Tcl installed on
[08:05] <n-iCe>   this system, and I just wasn't looking in the right place for it, re-run
[08:05] <n-iCe>   ./configure using the --with-tcllib='/path/to/libtcl.so' and
[08:05] <n-iCe>   --with-tclinc='/path/to/tcl.h' options.
[08:05] <danmurf> it's working under ubuntu because I managed to get WEP working
[08:05] <Gnea> KakaRoT-|: i disagree.
[08:05] <aa^way> Filthpig: yes i believe so, there is 4 lights on router, (by order: POWER, ETHERNET, ADSL, INTERNET, so basically the internet light isnt on, it will turn green when i will manage to connect server )
[08:05] <n-iCe> How can I install it?
[08:05] <danmurf> and WPA option is there, it just won't connect on it
[08:05] <niekie> n-iCe: with apt-get
[08:05] <kane77> are the logs on http://people.ubuntu.com/~fabbione/irclogs/ complete?
[08:05] <UbuntuMan> MohammadBoozary: Hello
[08:05] <n-iCe> niekie apt-get install tcl ?
[08:05] <ISIIS> Gnea: yes.. It is true for me too
[08:06] <Gnea> !paste | n-iCe
[08:06] <ubotu> n-iCe: 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)
[08:06] <ISIIS> velko: why?
[08:06] <niekie> n-iCe: possibly.
[08:06] <velko> ISIIS, this is off topic here
[08:06] <dug_> danmurf: i've had issues connecting to wpa networks, too.  sometimes it was because of firestarter (firewall), and other times I had to choose 'connect to other network' and manually enter the info
[08:06] <Filthpig> danmurf: although WEP is working it doesn't mean WPA is
[08:06] <Gnea> velko: hardly
[08:06] <n-iCe> niekie nope
[08:06] <Filthpig> aa^way: do you have the setup manual for the router at hand?
[08:06] <niekie> n-iCe: it did not work?
[08:06] <danmurf> I've not enabled any firewall unless it's enabled by default
[08:06] <danmurf> clean install from the other day
[08:06] <n-iCe> niekie nope
[08:06] <Aminux> sn0: what ati drivers do you use?
[08:06] <aa^way> Filthpig: yes and i did what it sayd, ive read it over and over but i cant pass the "open router IP"
[08:07] <Gnea> ISIIS: i like it because i can plug just about anything into it and ubuntu will go "oh, here's new hardware, let's see if we have a solution.... why yes, yes we do.."
[08:07] <niekie> n-iCe: did the apt-get fail? Or does it not work after a successfull apt-get?
[08:07] <velko> Gnea, this is install/config support channel and not "why do i like ubuntu" channel. it's called #ubutnu-offtopic
[08:07] <sn0> Aminux none, im an nvidiot user
[08:07] <n-iCe> package tcl is nto available
[08:07] <nickrud> n-iCe: you're gonna need either tcl8.3-dev or tcl8.4-dev ; the stuff needed for compiling against a lib is in the -dev packages
[08:07] <kroson> where do i set the dictionary language in xchat?
[08:07] <Gnea> velko: no need to be such a robot
[08:07] <niekie> Gnea: #ubuntu-offtopic :-)
[08:07] <bruenig> Gnea, that has absolutely nothing to do with ubuntu anyways, that is hal
[08:07] <Aminux> sn0: i made a mess of xorg.conf and now i cant boot into x
[08:07] <niekie> Not #ubutnu-offtopic
[08:07] <velko> Gnea, :-)
[08:07] <Gnea> bruenig: yeah, it's part of it :)
[08:07] <bruenig> Gnea, ubuntu didn't do any of that, not any
[08:07] <n-iCe> nickrud is a shell, console, how do i install them
[08:08] <tifa> Hello. I was wondering how does one change the name of the computer after installation?
[08:08] <Aminux> sn0: considering a new install
[08:08] <Gnea> bruenig: do i really come off as some sort of noob?
[08:08] <dug_> aa^way: is your router new?  if not, maybe it was configured to block unknown computers from connecting to the network
[08:08] <Aminux> sn0: i thought i could borrow your xorg.conf
[08:08] <sn0> Aminux messing up your xorg.conf is not a reason to reinstall really, you can press ctrl+alt+f1 to get to a terminal login, then change xorg.conf back :)
[08:08] <danmurf> so, would the firewall block WPA wireless and not WEP wireless?
[08:08] <aa^way> dug_ yep its brand new, i just bought it from, nobody hasnt ever touched it
[08:08] <bruenig> Gnea, well I hear this talk too much in here and other places when people ascribe ubuntu to having done something when all ubuntu has done is packaged software that other people wrote which is available on all the other distributions in the exact same function
[08:08] <Aminux> sn0: all of the other configurations dont work
[08:08] <sn0> if you forget what you changed Aminux , then just copy the backed up xorg.conf over the "faulty" one then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart and it will start up in gui mode again
[08:09] <niekie> n-iCe: try installing it with sudo apt-get install tcl8.4
[08:09] <nickrud> n-iCe: sudo aptitude install tcl8.4-dev
[08:09] <Aminux> sn0: thats the problem i forgot to backup..
[08:09] <niekie> n-iCe: and let me know if that gives you any problems :')
[08:09] <bittin> Hi
[08:09] <bittin> Somone skilled in Burners?
[08:09] <ashu18> i have a problem...does kopete run in ubuntu (not kubuntu)?
[08:09] <sn0> Aminux then you can run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg at the terminal and choose sane options for your system, and it should at least get you into the gui
[08:09] <nickrud> ashu18: should
[08:09] <n-iCe> niekie it asked for the cd, i pressed intro and is downoading
[08:10] <bittin> Somone skilled in Burners?
[08:10] <KurtKraut> ashu18: yes, consuming more RAM and disk space but yes.
[08:10] <sn0> then you can re-install the drivers from system > admin > restricted drivers manager and restart X finally once more
[08:10] <Gnea> bruenig: it's a bit more than that. i've been running debian and other distros for over a decade, ubuntu also bridges a lot of gaps in making things "just work".  that's what helps make the support in this channel rock so much.
[08:10] <bittin> That can look whats wrong on mine?
[08:10] <tifa> ashu18: Yes it does
[08:10] <danmurf> so, would the firewall block WPA wireless and not WEP wireless?
[08:10] <Aminux> sn0: what then?
[08:10] <n-iCe> Now niekie ?
[08:10] <dug_> aa^way: and if you haven't already, check system->administration->network and see if your wired connection is listed and checked
[08:10] <niekie> n-iCe: now try installing again?
[08:10] <Gnea> bruenig: i can run hal in debian and still not get the functionality out of it that ubuntu provides. clean and simple, and this conversation is now over.
[08:10] <sn0> Aminux which graphics card do you have, ati what ?
[08:10] <Aminux> sn0: i have to install the ati drivers again aftewards?
[08:10] <n-iCe> ok
[08:10] <Aminux> sn0: 9600
[08:11] <sn0> Aminux and were you using the fglrx drivers, or the ati drivers that came with ubuntu
[08:11] <aa^way> dug_ alright i will do it, thanks all, im gonna switch modems and try to get it working
[08:11] <Aminux> sn0: the fglrx drivers
[08:11] <Dr_willis> Just running the 'restricted manager' tool - has worked for me in the past with my ati9600 card, and the normal repo fglrx drivers. :)  Ubuntu made it nice and simple
[08:11] <KakaRoT-|> danmurf: uh?
[08:11] <mmpf> is it possible to burn dvds from the ubuntu live cd
[08:11] <sn0> Aminux then you can change your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to use 'fglrx' in the device driver section, or i believe there is an atitool command for doing just that
[08:11] <Aminux> sn0: i can show you my xorg.conf,if its of any use
[08:11] <nickrud> too simple, it takes all the stress out :)
[08:12] <tifa> Hello. I was wondering how does one change the name of the computer after installation?
[08:12] <danmurf> someone said WPA wireless might not be working because I may have a firewall enabled, but it worked fine with WEP when I tested it
[08:12] <ashu18> does kopete has voice chat feature?
[08:12] <danmurf> (I;m having trouble getting WPA to work)
[08:12] <Dr_willis> mmpf,  not unless you got 2 optical drivers. I think.
[08:12] <sn0> sure Aminux , and the /var/log/Xorg.0.log would be useful too, pastebin please
[08:12] <nickrud> !hostname | tifa
[08:12] <ubotu> tifa: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname  and /etc/hosts . WARNING!

[08:12] <dug_> ashu18: yes
[08:12] <Martin_-_> Anyone know in what directory cedega install the games? I cant find it
[08:12] <Aminux> !pastebin

[08:12] <Esteth> How would i go about changing all my sound to mono? I don't have enough cable to connect my two speakers around my monitor, and it's more power. If i plug only one in, i only get the "right" channel.
[08:12] <ashu18> dug_ : for all protocols?
[08:13] <Dr_willis> Martin_-_,  like .wine, or .cedega somewhere
[08:13] <ashu18> dug_: like yahoo, gmail etc.?
[08:13] <dug_> ashu18: not sure, at least yahoo.  there is also amsn in case kopete doesn't support it
[08:13] <KakaRoT-|> danmurf: are you sure that's the firewall who blocks your wireless connection?
[08:13] <KakaRoT-|> it sounds crazy
[08:13] <ashu18> dug_: thnks for the info...
[08:13] <eduardo_> j #ubuntu-br
[08:14] <danmurf> no, the firewall on my router works fine
[08:14] <dug_> danmurf: KakaRoT-|: no, we've determined a firewall is not an issue with danmurf.  that was just something that happened to me
[08:14] <ashu18> dug_: pidgin is nice but without voice chat...
[08:14] <eduardo_> ;j #ubuntu-br
[08:14] <danmurf> someone was saying ubuntu has a firewall which might be causing the ache
[08:14] <eduardo_> shit
[08:14] <Martin_-_> Dr_Willis cd .cedega ( what is the command ) so i can se whats in that directory trough the terminal?
[08:14] <dug_> ashu18: there was supposed to be a video plugin for gaim/pidgin called gaim-vv, but i don't know what happened with it
[08:14] <velko> eduardo_, /join #ubuntu-br
[08:14] <Rubin> Martin_-_, ls?
[08:14] <danmurf> my problem is that wireless isn't working under WPA, but is under open/wep settings
[08:14] <KakaRoT-|> a firewall can't do that
[08:15] <nickrud> Martin_-_: for a quick tutorial on using the command line, go to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[08:15] <Aminux> sn0: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/36917/
[08:15] <dug_> danmurf: KakaRoT-|: no, we've determined a firewall is not an issue with danmurf.  that was just something that happened to me
[08:15] <KakaRoT-|> if it works fine
[08:15] <Dr_willis> martin_,  it may be worth your time to learn some bash basics.. 'ls -al' shows all 'hidden' type files. (with a . at the start of the name) cd .Dirctoryname to cd to them, ls to see the contents.. or tell yoyur file manager to show 'hidden' files.
[08:15] <underwatercow> This .avi I'm trying to play has no sound... how do I find out what codec I'm missing?
[08:15] <Dr_willis> martin_,  if this is over your head. its worth spending an hr reading a bash starter guide or 4
[08:15] <sn0> Aminux ok so your xorg.conf has got messed up a bit, i would sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and go through the options and it will write a new config file

[08:19] <gordonjcp> LinuxHelp: that's like the second hit on Goooooooogle incidentally
[08:19] <Aminux> sn0: so,what can i do now?
[08:19] <Makt> ok thanks
[08:19] <Rubin> eduardo_, do not use automatix, its really dangerously poorly written
[08:19] <nickrud> oh, heaven, maybe it's really gone ;)
[08:19] <Aminux> sn0: im running from live cd
 yeah I know :)
[08:19] <eduardo_> Rubin, Dell uses it
[08:19] <Rubin> regardless
[08:19] <Flannel> eduardo_: That doesn't make it safe
[08:19] <Paddy_EIRE> eduardo_, there is really no benefit with automatix anyway
[08:19] <Rubin> you can do everything it does yoruself
[08:20] <nickrud> Dell uses windows, even
[08:20] <Makt> also has anyone tried running adobe flash, photoshop or premiere  in *ubuntu?
[08:20] <hyperbola__> hello

[08:20] <Aminux> sn0: if only find someone that uses fglrx ati drivers too

[08:20] <eduardo_> I can't get glx working with my gforce fx6600
[08:20] <Achillesforce> hey, I put Ubuntu on a CD. I put teh disc in the DVD-Drive and when i got to the main thing (From the disc) I clicked "Install". It sayed it installed and everything ran smooth. When it was done, it told me to take out disk and reboot my PC. When i turned it on, it asked me to inser "Boot-Disk". Any help? or maybe I did something wrong? Maybe i got to dosomething before installing?
[08:20] <Rubin> Makt, i looked into photoshop, and no recent version will run under wine.
[08:20] <danmurf> dug_: I'm using the fwcutter program
[08:20] <sn0> Aminux boot up ubuntu as normal, ignore the X error and when it has finished, press ctrl+alt+f1 to get to the terminal login, then at the login run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, and go through the options. Alternatively you can just edit the file, as above replace Identifier  "ATI Technologies, Inc. ATI Default Card" to Identifier "ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AP [Radeon 9600] ". either method should let you restart X with sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[08:20] <sn0> so try that and get back to us :)
[08:20] <eduardo_> Flannel,  ok I will read that
[08:20] <IndyLucian> what is automatix anyways? i've never had the balls to install it with all the issues i've read in here
[08:21] <nickrud> Makt: flash works fine, the others are not linux programs but can be run in virtualbox
[08:21] <Paddy_EIRE> eduardo_, what have you been trying to get your graphics driver working so far
[08:21] <Aminux> cant i borrow someones xorg.conf and replace mine?
[08:21] <sn0> brb food
[08:21] <Makt> hm
[08:21] <Rubin> Achillesforce, sounds like a problem with the boot loader (grub) is the disk weird in any way?
[08:21] <Paddy_EIRE> Aminux, hardly a good idea
[08:21] <velko> Achillesforce, tell your bios to try to boot from your hard disk first. maybe it tries to boot from the crdrom only
[08:21] <Aminux> sn0: it would be easier yes?
[08:21] <Achillesforce> The disk weird in any way?
[08:21] <Achillesforce> What do you mean?
[08:21] <Achillesforce> When i laod
[08:21] <nickrud> Aminux: you can rebuild a regular one with sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[08:21] <Achillesforce> should I click

[08:22] <eduardo_> I try that: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_setup_nVidia_drivers_in_7.04
[08:22] <KurtKraut> snooo: try using dnsmasq for that
[08:22] <Paddy_EIRE> err eduardo_ Im hardly goin to read the entire site... what have you tried specifically
[08:22] <Rubin> Achillesforce, make sure the bios is booting off the hard disk as velko  said.
[08:23] <Achillesforce> Hard disk?
[08:23] <Achillesforce> one sec

[08:23] <dug_> danmurf: if you can't get any help or get it working, i'd recommend trying ndiswrapper (it wraps the windows driver for your card).  Here are the instructions I used for a broadcom 4318: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=297092&highlight=dell+1501

[08:24] <Achillesforce> Rubin, is here any way we can PM  each other? there is too much going on in here. if not, its cool.
[08:24] <Rubin> snooo: apt-get install dhcp3-server, and look in /etc/dhcpd3  as a starting place
[08:24] <danmurf> ok I might have to give that a go, thanks for your help dug :)
[08:24] <Paddy_EIRE> frost0, #html :P
[08:24] <frost0> oh
[08:24] <Rubin> Achillesforce, i'd rather not
[08:24] <snooo> KurtKraut: dnsmasq looks promising. thanks
[08:24] <snooo> Rubin: cheers
[08:25] <dug_> danmurf: broadcom 4306 uses the same .inf file (bcmwl5.inf), so probably you don't have to do anything different from the instructions at all
[08:25] <KurtKraut> snooo: you're welcome.
[08:25] <Achillesforce> Its cool, Rubin. I used to be support for IGn entertainment, and i know how it feels :P

[08:25] <danmurf> hmmm ok, I've not actually for the driver so might have to download them
[08:25] <Rubin> Mathias|, just spill the details, noone knows till they see if they know
[08:25] <danmurf> the driver comes with my windows image, which I can't access unless I reinstall windows :(

[08:25] <Paddy_EIRE> warren_, #ubuntu-effects
[08:25] <KurtKraut> warren_: try #ubuntu-effects
[08:25] <danmurf> not that I hate windows, just it means starting from fresh all over again lol
[08:26] <nanonyme> why does everyone want to use beryl which isn't even stable yet...
[08:26] <Mathias|> ah good :D i tried to install stun, but it didn't work, so i tried to remove it...but i got an error..
[08:26] <warren_> #ubuntu-effects
[08:26] <Paddy_EIRE> nandemonai, eye candy
[08:26] <dug_> danmurf: if you have a dell, the instructions include the ftp address to get the driver, otherwise, yeah, download the drivers from your manufacturer
[08:26] <dooglus> nanonyme: gotta have that spinning cube :)
[08:26] <Mathias|> Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal.  << thats the error
[08:26] <KurtKraut> nanonyme: stability is not a problem... many people use Windows, and it was never stable
[08:26] <ZmOg> ^^
[08:26] <nanonyme> Paddy_EIRE, which breaks compatibility with 3d applications. hurrah
[08:26] <nanonyme> windows can at least run games even with vista aero
[08:26] <Rubin> Mathias|, where did you get stun?
[08:26] <danmurf> emachines, I've checked and it's like they've forgotton they made my laptop
[08:27] <nanonyme> the same can't be said of beryl
[08:27] <danmurf> lol
[08:27] <Paddy_EIRE> nandemonai, are you here to troll
[08:27] <Mathias|> universe packages
[08:27] <Rubin> Mathias|, you could try apt-get install stun --reinstall
[08:27] <nanonyme> Paddy_EIRE, no, i'm here to comment that it's a bad idea to install beryl. it's a fact
[08:27] <Paddy_EIRE> nandemonai, vista can barely run games without aero :P
[08:27] <nanonyme> Paddy_EIRE, i've played quite a few games with it myself
[08:27] <Rubin> Mathias|, did it give any clue of why it messed up ?

[08:28] <nanonyme> Paddy_EIRE, given, aero is much more stressful to a computer than beryl but beryl completely removes 3d rendering capabilities from a computer when it's doing effects ;)

[08:40] <gh0sty2k> I need some help, how can I get Samba to obtain username and passwords from a current windows Active Directory domain controller?
[08:40] <usser> Rubin: thank you
[08:40] <Rubin> neumind, could you stop?
[08:41] <jontec> Rubin: so then is the image a whole kernel? Instead of just the informational part

[08:41] <KurtKraut> jontec: compiling for a march gives a so small boost in performance that it is not worth it.
[08:41] <neumind> his not reading offtopic!
[08:41] <Rubin> jontec, the image is the compiled binary part
[08:41] <Rubin> neumind, hes not talking in here

[08:41] <bkhype> is there away to reset ubuntu while running it so everything starts off with fresh settings?
[08:41] <gh0sty2k> omega_amigo thanks.. also how do i view all drives and mount them?
[08:41] <trix> I have a bizarre problem.  mouse used to work fine... it did when I installed from the live DVD.  then something went wrong.  now the mouse doesn't work even when I'm using the SAME LIVE DVD I originally used to install.  wtf
[08:42] <astro76> neumind, I'd suggest stopping
[08:42] <jontec> KurtKraut: I'm not compiling for performance...
[08:42] <omega_amigo> gh0sty2k: View all which drivers, and mount them from where?
[08:42] <Tominator> Rubin: thanks mate, it worked
[08:42] <omega_amigo> s/drivers/drives/
[08:42] <Rubin> Tominator, yay
[08:42] <Rubin> trix, is it plugged in? :)
[08:42] <gh0sty2k> omega_amigo whats the command to list all installed hard drives in the ubuntu machine and mount
[08:42] <neumind> i sudgest get a fuck out until i be angry
[08:42] <Jack_Sparrow> numind... read the rules and please stop... last warning...
[08:42] <trix> Rubin: cute.  it's an alps touchpad.  it doesn't unplug ;)
[08:43] <Jack_Sparrow> !ops \ neumind

[08:43] <PriceChild> !ohmy | neumind
[08:43] <PriceChild> Jack_Sparrow, i'm here
[08:43] <neumind> :-)
[08:43] <Jack_Sparrow> thanks
[08:43] <neumind> 0k i got it
[08:43] <jontec> Rubin: alright, so I'll ask.... to compile packages should I simply use linux-headers-$(uname -r) for the headers... is this by itself okay for servers
[08:43] <trix> the problem is that the window focus doesn't necessarily go where the mouse does.  sometimes I can't click on something.
[08:43] <neumind> so why?
[08:43] <neumind> so why?
[08:43] <Flannel> trix: You can change that if you'd like
[08:43] <jontec> Rubin: or will it cause apt-get to think that I want a desktop version/install
[08:44] <Rubin> jontec, i think you are a bit confused .. what exactly are you trying to do?
[08:44] <trix> whenver I boot into gdm, the menu that you would get if you right-click on the desktop always comes up.... but never after that. ..  I can't right-click to get that menu!
[08:44] <dooglus> how can I get feisty to accept bluetooth connections from my phone, so I can send photos to it?
[08:44] <omega_amigo> gh0sty2k: Hmmm, not quite sure actually
[08:44] <Aminux> sn0: ok,im back

[08:44] <gh0sty2k> :P
[08:44] <trix> everything was fine before... before what?  I don't know what happened.
[08:44] <nickrud> gh0sty2k: sudo fdisk -l shows all the disks and partitions ;  mount  will show what's mounted
[08:45] <Paddy_EIRE> nandemonai, thats odd.. considering I'm and many many others run games in linux under beryl

[08:45] <Paddy_EIRE> nandemonai, must be me just imagining Im playing a game huh
[08:45] <jontec> Rubin: compile packages... I am... I only want the headers to compile some packages (not .deb based). This is my first time doing this on the server and I want to know if linux-headers-$(uname -r) is okay for getting the ones for a server. I don't want to break any packages because of bad headers/apt thinking it's now a desktop.
[08:45] <Aminux> sn0: now how do i configure xorg.conf to make full use of fglrx drivers
[08:45] <bkhype> how do you reset a ubuntu load while running it
[08:45] <Rubin> jontec, you dont need kernel headers to compile most packages
[08:46] <Rubin> jontec, so be more specific..
[08:46] <codeshah> what ftp programs do you guys use on ubuntu?
[08:46] <Roly[] > can someone help me install linux onto a flash drive?

[08:46] <zachary> VLC is playing DVDs really choppy, is there anything I can do to fix this?  Using 500mhz PPC
[08:46] <dimas_> i would like to know if there is any block system from feisty on firefox (web browser) for video transmitting?
[08:46] <xst> After upgrading, "update-grub" creates a buggy "menu.lst" file where the root partition is wrong. How can I fix this?
[08:46] <nickrud> codeane: sftp, gftp, fireftp, filezilla , depends on my mood
[08:46] <Jack_Sparrow> Roly[] : google linux on usb, it has a tutorial
[08:46] <Rubin> jontec, linux-headers-$(uname -r) is good to have if you need them. and wont hurt anything
[08:46] <KurtKraut> dimas_: you mean, video streaming ?
[08:46] <jontec> Rubin: alright, gracias :D
[08:46] <satellite> dooglus: i'm ariane. i asked you help for a buggy harddisk. could you still help me please?

[08:49] <Twinmos> hello, eh?
[08:49] <Rubin> trix, you looked at your logs and stuff?
[08:49] <dimas_> kurtkraut video streaming yes
[08:49] <Tuxis2> whats wrong http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/36924/
[08:50] <trix> like, the var log?
[08:50] <PriceChild> Tuxis2, your username and password are wrong?
[08:50] <Tuxis2> yes
[08:50] <Rubin> trix, yeah, or xorg's log if its an X thing
[08:51] <Rubin> trix, i know nothing about tablets, but thats where i would start.
[08:51] <dooglus> ar1: problems?
[08:52] <Tuxis2> thank you it run
[08:52] <ar1> dooglus: kopete crashed
[08:52] <|FrOstiE|> lol
[08:52] <|FrOstiE|> :D
[08:52] <trix> it says it loaded synaptics_driver.so
[08:52] <giany911> if i install xubuntu-desktop will this screw with my gnome session in any way?
[08:52] <Rubin> trix, synaptics is for touch pads i think isn't it?
[08:52] <KurtKraut> dimas_: you would probably need to remove flash and the plugin packages of totem or mplayer. And revoke any access of other users of installing packages.
[08:52] <d4rkmonkey> giany911 it shouldn't.
[08:52] <Tuxis2> looking by build egs :-D
[08:52] <giany911> thx
[08:52] <ar1> dooglus: didn't quite get the registration thingy...
[08:52] <trix> yes it is.  that's what I have.
[08:52] <nickrud> giany911: no, you can select either gnome or xfce from the sessions options on the login screen
[08:53] <Rubin> trix, a laptop?
[08:53] <PriceChild> giany911, it'll install lots more applicatiosn into your gnome menus
[08:53] <gh0sty2k> how do you mount a drive through ssh?
[08:53] <dooglus> ar1: type /msg nickserv register pa$$word
[08:53] <trix> what's puzzling to me is that it works in so many ways.  yes... laptop.  inspiron
[08:53] <dooglus> ar1: (where 'pa$$word' is a password you'll remember)
[08:53] <talcite> is anyone else having trouble with the launchpad site?
[08:53] <dooglus> ar1: then /msg dooglus hi
[08:53] <Rubin> trix, try googling 'linux <yourlaptopmodel> touchpad'
[08:53] <giany911> .... i guess im going to wait until my next clean install to go with xubuntu .. like gutsy ..
[08:53] <trix> it seems that the buttons work, and the cursor moves where I expect it to...
[08:53] <epiclulz> when is 7.10 coming out?
[08:53] <trix> it's the window focus that's crazy
[08:53] <Rubin> what doesn't work?
[08:53] <Rubin> hmm
[08:53] <Nutubuntu> giany911, installing the *ubuntu-desktop installs all of the software associated with that flavor. you might want to look at psychocats.net for alternatives; I think they call them "pure" gnome, "pure" kde etc.
[08:53] <gh0sty2k> how do you mount a drive through ssh?
[08:53] <d4rkmonkey> epiclulz october, 18th or something like that.
[08:53] <flamesrock> is there any way to recover deleted files from reiserfs?
[08:54] <d4rkmonkey> gh0sty2k ssh to the machine, use the command mount?
[08:54] <oYo> automatix2 links opens?
[08:54] <trix> it won't let me click even though it knows how to listen to the mouse
[08:54] <nickrud> giany911: I've got fluxbox, xubuntu, waimea, and a bunch of others on my session options , no issues
[08:54] <trix> but what is it
[08:54] <KurtKraut> gh0sty2k: in gnome, in the LOCAL menu, use the 'Connect to server...' option
[08:54] <benanz1> is there a difference between "gksu" and "gksudo" when using it to launch an admin app from a script?
[08:54] <Rubin> trix, how do you say the buttons work, if it wont let you click?
[08:54] <trix> sometimes I can click, sometimes not.
[08:54] <nickrud> benanz1: no, gksu uses the sudo backend also
[08:54] <trix> like I'll have two windows open, firefox and a terminal
[08:54] <dimas_> KurtKraut flash player work good cause i can see the other people cameras the thing is my video that i can not establish display
[08:54] <gh0sty2k> root@tweety-desktop:/etc/samba# mount /dev/hda2
[08:54] <gh0sty2k> mount: can't find /dev/hda2 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[08:54] <neumind> !offtopic | andrew
[08:54] <ubotu> andrew: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[08:54] <trix> and even when I click in firefox, the focus stays on terminal
[08:54] <Roly[] > Jack_Sparrow
[08:54] <Rubin> trix, i had an insperon 8200 whose buttons went bad, and it behaved like that sometimes
[08:55] <giany911> thx for the info :)
[08:55] <Roly[] > they all seem to be if you have a linux running computer already
[08:55] <benanz1> nickrud: so they're effectively interchangeable?
[08:55] <oYo> balgari ima li
[08:55] <Nutubuntu> nickrud, I'm beginning to get curious about other distros or flavors myself ... how do you keep them from overwriting bits and pieces of each other? (or is that automagically handled somehow?)
[08:55] <Rubin> Nutubuntu, you put them each on their own partitions
[08:55] <r00723r0> hi
[08:55] <gh0sty2k> Im using mount /dev/hda2
[08:55] <dimas_> KurtKraut my mplayer works ok too
[08:55] <gh0sty2k> is that correct?
[08:55] <nickrud> benanz1: you can control the gksu backend with gksu-properties
[08:55] <trix> if I do ctrl-alt-f1 and back to ctrl-alt-f7 sometimes it changes the focus where I need it to
[08:55] <r00723r0> i'm trying to install the non free flash plugin
[08:56] <r00723r0> it's not working
[08:56] <r00723r0> telling me i need some viewer
[08:56] <trix> I can alt-tab to focus on the correct window sometimes and then I can use the mouse again
[08:56] <Rubin> gh0sty2k, put sudo in front
[08:56] <gh0sty2k> k
[08:56] <nickrud> Nutubuntu: not distros, different desktops/window managers ; and that's the whole point of apt/dpkg , they track files and prevent conflicts
[08:56] <gh0sty2k> mount: can't find /dev/hda2 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[08:56] <Rubin> trix, thats bizar. maybe a stuck button or maybe your alt key is stuck?
[08:56] <gh0sty2k> Rubin: mount: can't find /dev/hda2 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[08:56] <dimas_> KurtKraut do i have to install codecs for flash player?
[08:57] <Rubin> gh0sty2k, you did sudo mount /dev/hda2 /somewhere?
[08:57] <KurtKraut> dimas_: what you want to do, exactly ?
[08:57] <Nutubuntu> nickrud, thx ... Rubin, I was a bit puzzled by what you wrote; how would you manage the multiple partitions (naming conventions etc.)
[08:57] <trix> but it's the window that acts weird, not the mouse
[08:57] <Nutubuntu> nickrud, any helpful pages you've found for the other window mgrs you have liked?
[08:57] <gh0sty2k> Rubin no just sudo mount /dev/hda2
[08:57] <trix> and if I switch out and back in to X it fixes it
[08:57] <gh0sty2k> Rubin what should the correct command format look like?
[08:58] <trix> I mean it doesn't fix it but it changes the focus
[08:58] <trix> so I can get to the button I need to click
[08:58] <Rubin> Nutubuntu, you would use fdisk to partition your hard disk.  theres no convention really except you need enough space for the OS and a swap partition for each distro
[08:58] <dimas_> KurtKraut i trying to have my camera works on flash player on a video chat room
[08:58] <Rubin> gh0sty2k, sudo mount /dev/harddiskdevice /path/to/mount/it
[08:58] <shiner_> nabend
[08:58] <nickrud> Nutubuntu: http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/ , http://www.xfce.org/ (xubuntu) , and for the extreme, http://www.suckless.org/wiki/dwm
[08:58] <gh0sty2k> Rubin i dont know what path i should use to mount.. thats the problem
[08:59] <KurtKraut> dimas_: oh, that would be pretty hard to be set. It is a very unusual feature. Does your webcam works in ubuntu in the first place ?
[08:59] <trix> it is very confusing that this problem persists to the live dvd
[08:59] <shiner_> good evening
[08:59] <Rubin> gh0sty2k, its your choice. there is no wrong answer. it just has to exist.  do sudo mkdir /mnt/mydisk and use that
[08:59] <gh0sty2k> k
[08:59] <Rubin> trix, i think its a hardware problem
[08:59] <mtx1> anyone here have a big lcd that had to mess with horiz and vert in xorg config? i can not get it right i have tried xvidtune and i get invalid mode? my screen is too far to the right and bottom anyone know how to fix?
[08:59] <Nutubuntu> t/y nickrud :)
[08:59] <benanz1> when I get a kernel upgrade, is it safe to remove the old kernel?
[09:00] <nickrud> Nutubuntu: and when someone says distro, they mean like redhat, or suse, or mandriva, or the like. Totally separate from ubuntu, and therefore installed on a separate partition
[09:00] <trix> hmm...  ok.  maybe in my frustration I did this thing in.
[09:00] <Rubin> mtx1: does your lcd not have some kind of adjustments for that?
[09:00] <dimas_> KurtKraut work perfect with xawtv and msna did install ov51x and my camera is a creative live! vista
[09:00] <mtx1> i have set monitor defaults but it still is not in the right place...i can adjust it but as soon as monitor somes off and back on it auto adjust and is back to the bottom right again
[09:00] <mtx1> somes = comes
[09:00] <KurtKraut> dimas_: I suggest you to ask for help in ubuntuforums.org, with full details.
[09:00] <shiner_> i got the following prob: yesterday I installed ubuntu on my fujitsu amilo m6450g but i got no sound and also no idea how to fix.
[09:00] <Nutubuntu> nickrud, got it ... fluxbox and waimea I'm unfamiliar with and thought distros rather than window mgrs. Insufficient coffee I suppose :)
[09:01] <CoasterMaster> !sound | shiner_
[09:01] <ubotu> shiner_: 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
[09:01] <nickrud> Nutubuntu: which reminds me, mine is cold
[09:01] <trix> I am dual booting.  I'll see if it misbehaves in windows and if not...  I'll be back.
[09:01] <Rubin> k
[09:01] <dimas_> KurtKraut i just posted a message for help thanks
[09:02] <Aishiko> I'm tring to replace the "open folder" default to a different file manager and can't seem to get it to do so, I've tried the same process I used to do file types by going to the properites of a particular file and trying to change it taht way but no go is there a different or another way under gnome desktop to do that?
[09:02] <Nutubuntu> <-- once ran a server whose IPX network was DECAFBAD ... long ago
[09:02] <simplyw00x> hi everyone, could anyone help me configure my USB touchscreen as an X device? It either isn't calibrated or clicks too many times when I tap, depending on how X is configured. I'm using evtouch. Also, it gets broken with Twinview

[09:06] <joao> how can i put in the desktop the screenlets without that black bord?
[09:07] <Surlent> can anyone tell me how to properly use GParted's Rescue ability?
[09:07] <gh0sty2k> folks when i try and mount a drive sudo mount /dev/hda2 /dev/hda2 it says i need to specify a file system.. how do i do that?
[09:08] <dug_> gh0sty2k: add a -t flag, for example: -t ntfs-3g
[09:08] <astro76> gh0sty2k, you shouldn't be repeating the /dev/hda2
[09:08] <pike_> gh0sty2k: typically if its prompting for that youve typed mount command wrong these days
[09:09] <gh0sty2k> Well i just want to mount a drive.. i dont know how to do it
[09:09] <gh0sty2k> pike_ can you tell me the proper command
[09:09] <dug_> gh0sty2k: sudo mkdir /media/yourdrive  --then--  sudo mount /dev/hda2 /media/yourdirve
[09:09] <pike_> gh0sty2k: you mount the dev node to a directory so sudo mount /dev/hda2 /media/something    the /media/something can be any directory really
[09:10] <gh0sty2k> ok and then it asks for file system
[09:10] <arooni> is there anyway to maximize my power settings on my t61 laptop for max battery life?  i dont mind if cpu clock speed really slows down etc....... i want my advertised 6 hours ;p
[09:10] <pike_> gh0sty2k: what is this partition? what file syste? your windows part or what?
[09:11] <gh0sty2k> windows
[09:11] <Surlent> can anyone tell me how to properly use GParted's Rescue ability?
[09:11] <|FrOstiE|> arooni click the battery and set it :)
[09:11] <benanz1> Nautilus won't create new documents from right-click Create Document.  I can't create an "empty file" or any of my templates.  Create Folder still works.
[09:12] <benanz1> is it a gconf setting?
[09:12] <gh0sty2k> pike_ can i pm for a moment?
[09:12] <pike_> arooni: you can bring down wireless if ya have it also dim brightness maybe tough i dont know how much diff it will make. xgamma -gamma .5 or something maybe
[09:12] <dbe> Hi there world.
[09:12] <dug_> arooni: http://www.williambrownstreet.net/wordpress/?p=23
[09:12] <pike_> gh0sty2k: you using ntfs3g or just trying tomount and read it?
[09:12] <K0brik> I have some trouble with my ununtu/sendmail configuration can anyone help?
[09:13] <arooni> what about CPU clock speed
[09:13] <gh0sty2k> mount and read it
[09:13] <Rubin> pike_, arooni, brightness dimmer on t61 doesn't work yet. but you can 'echo down" > /proc/acpi/ibm/brightness  to do it manually
[09:13] <arooni> can i slow stuff down to a 1Ghz or something
[09:13] <gh0sty2k> pike_ im setting this machine to be a file server
[09:13] <gh0sty2k> pike_ im going to need to write too it aswell
[09:13] <pike_> gh0sty2k: fdisk -l | grep ntfs   <-- what does this say?
[09:13] <Rubin> arooni, it slows automatically when there is no need for the cpu. load the cpu frequency monitor to your menu bar
[09:13] <darlok> What package(s) do I need to install to use the KDE desktop, but NOT install any additional unwanted applications?
[09:14] <KurtKraut> arooni: not in Linux, I guess. You can
[09:14] <gh0sty2k> pike_ says nothing
[09:14] <pike_> yeah i typed that wrong ;)

[09:15] <K0brik> ubuntu/sendmail and some crazy dns lookup anyone?
[09:15] <pike_> !ntfs | gh0sty2k
[09:15] <ubotu> gh0sty2k: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[09:15] <Nutubuntu> darlok, kde-core or kde-base
[09:15] <Surlent> Can anyone tell me how to properly use GParted's Rescue ability? Anyone at all?
[09:15] <pike_> gh0sty2k: this automount script may do a better job for ya
[09:15] <astro76> nephish, I think the directory has to exist, also you have to specify the full path, like :~/ark/file.tar.gz maybe?
[09:15] <Rubin> nephish, dont include the remote filename. just a directroy
[09:15] <jamster545> i am having trouble getting xinit server and gnome to start on Feisty server
[09:16] <pike_> !ntfs3g | gh0sty2k
[09:16] <darlok> Nutubuntu, Rubin: Thank you.
[09:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ntfs3g - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[09:16] <pike_> !ntfs-3g | gh0sty2k
[09:16] <ubotu> gh0sty2k: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[09:16] <dug_> gh0sty2k: did you try using the -t ntfs-3g flag?
[09:16] <gh0sty2k> pike_ what command?
[09:16] <gh0sty2k> :P thanks
[09:16] <gh0sty2k> !ntfs-3g
[09:16] <nephish> Rubin, tried that and it spits out /ark is a directory
[09:16] <dug_> gh0sty2k: if it isn't ntfs, it may be a FAT drive.  Use the -t flag vfat instead of ntfs-3g
[09:16] <Nutubuntu> darlok, they're different (kde-core and kde-base), look both ways before crossing the street ;p
[09:16] <Rubin> nephish,  /ark is not the same as /home/yourhomedir/ark
[09:17] <Rubin> nephish, or is it in the root?
[09:17] <nephish> ok, full path is me@myhost.com:/ark/some_dir
[09:17] <Surlent> THIS IS IMPORTANT PEOPLE, 12GB ARE AT STAKE. =(
[09:17] <jamster545> hey can i get some help getting the xserver (xinit/gnome) to open on Feisty server?
[09:17] <gh0sty2k> yup didnt do anything
[09:17] <Tmi-> Anyone recognises a problem where sound suddenly goes to mono? I know I've fixed it before but I can't remeber how I did it.

[09:18] <Rubin> nephish, does the filename have anything weird in it?
[09:18] <Jowi> jamster545, you just installed from the server cd?
[09:18] <gh0sty2k> dug_ can i pm please?
[09:18] <cdm10> How do I read a certain number of bytes from a file (from the terminal)?
[09:18] <K0brik> nonetheless I can't get rid of it by uninstalling it
[09:18] <jamster545> yes jowi
[09:18] <dug_> Surlent: there is a command line tool called fsck that will repair a drive (sometimes)
[09:18] <dug_> gh0sty2k: sure
[09:18] <jamster545> yeah i did Jowi and i installed xinit
[09:18] <nickrud> jamster545: install  ubuntu-desktop

[09:18] <KurtKraut> neumind: Please, stop doing that. There is no 'andrew' in this channel.
[09:18] <jamster545> i need the server edition
[09:18] <neumind> yah?
[09:19] <CheesyMonkey> Why does Java require an old GCC?
[09:19] <cdm10> gh0sty2k: you're not going to be able to PM him until you identify to nickserv
[09:19] <Jowi> jamster545, that lowmem link is to tack on Xorg on a server install.
[09:19] <Rubin> cdm10, i think theres numerous ways. check out man page for 'head'
[09:19] <cdm10> Rubin: thanks
[09:19] <lucypher> hi anyone knows how to enavle Tracker to follow symlinks?
[09:19] <jamster545> i installed xinit
[09:19] <Surlent> fsck? can you elaborate a bit on this? Please keep in mind that while I am skilled in DOS and Windows, I know next to nothing about Linux...
[09:19] <nephish> should i leave off the / ?   /ark/some_folder instead of /ark/somefolder/  ?
[09:19] <nickrud> jamster545: you'll keep the same server edition you have already, and shuts up

[09:20] <harveyneon> i'm looking for help with some advanced partitioning questions
[09:21] <Rubin> harveyneon, just ask
[09:21] <Surlent> hey me too
[09:21] <harveyneon> Rubin ok thanks.
[09:21] <radioaktivstorm> question.... doe anyone know how i can access functions i have written in the gedit window from the gedit python console?
[09:22] <Surlent> dug_ would you mind a pm explaining a little more in-depth what my issue is?
[09:22] <dug_> Surlent: go to applications->accessories->terminal.  Type "fdisk -l"  See which device is your hard drive (/dev/sda1 or whatever).  Then type "fsck /dev/sda1" I believe to run a disk check and repair
[09:22] <harveyneon> I've got a 40GB drive in my laptop with the first 30 gigs are ntfs/broken xp home install, and my preferred OS on the remaining 10gigs, ubuntu 7.04.  i want to reclaim the ntfs some how and wondering what the best way to do it is. gpart does not resize ntfs.
[09:23] <Rubin> harveyneon, fdisk /dev/yourharddiskdevice
[09:23] <indian> how do i set up internet in ubuntu
[09:23] <KurtKraut> harveyneon: the best option should be a whole repartitioning
[09:23] <Rubin> harveyneon, delete the ntfs partition, create a new one tagged linux, then save and quit fdisk, and use 'mkfs.ext3' to create a filesystem on it.
[09:23] <bobjones> hello, i was hoping someone can help me debug why ubuntu livecd keeps just crashing during boot or if im lucky install, there is no error messages.  The cd passes the test as does memory and XP runs fine.
[09:23] <jamster545> Jowi: thankyou for the link and i will try what it says using Xorg instead of Xinit
[09:23] <Jowi> jamster545, you're welcome
[09:23] <Rubin> harveyneon, or, you could delete it and resize your existing partition so its all one big disk
[09:23] <jamster545> brb
[09:24] <Aishiko> darlok kde-core
[09:24] <Rubin> bobjones, could be some problem with hardware drivers

[09:24] <Rubin> gh0sty2k, rmdir
[09:24] <gh0sty2k> thnks
[09:24] <cdm10> gh0sty2k: rmdir only works when the directory is empty, though
[09:24] <cdm10> gh0sty2k: so try rm -r /path/to/dir/
[09:25] <Rubin>  rm -rf  but BE CAREFULL
[09:25] <harveyneon> Rubin: yeah fdisk will delete it and then gpart will resize my existing root partition. noice. i should have thought of fdisk i guess.
[09:25] <dug_> bobjones: if your computer is real new, it may be more likely to have compatibility problems with ubuntu feisty (released last april).  you might try the latest ubuntu gutsy tribe 5 cd, just a guess/suggestion
[09:25] <threethirty> hello all
[09:25] <cdm10> Rubin: no need to use f unless something's not working
[09:25] <bobjones> Rubin: Nope, I have no more blank disks.

[09:26] <Aishiko> I'm tring to replace the "open folder" default to a different file manager and can't seem to get it to do so, I've tried the same process I used to do file types by going to the properites of a particular file and trying to change it taht way but no go is there a different or another way under gnome desktop to do that?

[09:28] <Aishiko> astro76 thank you I'll try that, is nauilus the defualt?
[09:28] <fatcatmatt> wow...a vista virtual machine takes up 512mb of memory?!
[09:28] <astro76> Aishiko, yes
[09:28] <Aishiko> ahhh OK thank you
[09:28] <MatBoy> hey guys. Are the Nvidia drivers default in (x)ubuntu or is it the same as with debian ?
[09:28] <Aishiko> astro76 ahhh OK thank you
[09:28] <Surlent> dug_ or anyone knowledgeable: I got an error message claiming that fsck.ntfs was not found and gave me something it called Error 2 while executing
[09:29] <astro76> Aishiko, if you could change the open folder action somehow, you'd never be able to use nautilus properly
[09:29] <Nutubuntu> Surlent, I don't know enough about this, but found this link: you may get somewhere with the ntfsresize command it cites: http://wiki.linux-ntfs.org/doku.php?id=ntfsck
[09:29] <velko> Surlent, install ntfsprogs
[09:29] <harveyneon> MatBoy: non-free proprietary binary driver, not auto included in distro but i have nvidia and have installed their latest driver with no obvious issues so far.
[09:29] <Aishiko> that's fine by me I hate it's interface
[09:30] <dug_> he is running the ubuntu live cd to repair a drive (Surlent)
[09:30] <corevette> is the open office project dead?
[09:30] <Aishiko> Astro76 that's fine by me I hate it's interface

[09:30] <MatBoy> harveyneon, ok, great... does it go the same way is with Debian, or is there an howto somewhere to find ?... I'm new to Ubuntu... came from debian :)
[09:30] <impostor> hi there
[09:30] <Skyfalcon866> can i install kubuntu on top of ubuntu
[09:30] <corevette> dug_: how often do they release updates?
[09:30] <Flannel> Skyfalcon866: yep, just install the kubuntu-desktop package
[09:30] <impostor> how do I change my window manager?
[09:30] <dug_> corevette: about a couple times a year or so i'd guess
[09:31] <Aishiko> Astro76, If I can after I get PC working I'll try and remove nautlis
[09:31] <astro76> Aishiko, well there's nothing preventing you from using other file managers, but I have no idea how to change the default in gnome
[09:31] <velko> dug_, he still can install programs. even running from the livecd. he'll just lose the installed stuff on reboot
[09:31] <impostor> just for cusiosity
[09:31] <Nutubuntu> Skyfalcon866, yes, you might want to look at psychocats.net first in case you don't want the full complement of Kde software installed as well

[09:32] <Fluor> Can anyone give me any ideas on how to traverse the processlist (or whatever it's called in the linux world). I'm trying to find something that provides the same functions as the CreateToolhelp32Snapshot() and Process32First() etc functions in Win32 (blasphemy I guess)
[09:32] <jport> sudo ps -ae
[09:32] <BastetFurry> Hi!
[09:32] <Fluor> thanx but I want to this this the difficult way ;)
[09:32] <jport> o
[09:32] <jport> lol
[09:32] <v1k1ng> i don't think livecds work with wireless, you have to install
[09:33] <Aishiko> astro76 tried kde, and I couldn't configure it, I may try again in a month or 2 but not before I try and get gnome running right
[09:33] <Surlent> argh
[09:33] <velko> Surlent, if installing stuff is not an option for you because of lack on i-net you may try a livecd which already contains the right drivers. there are a lot of recovery live cds out there
[09:33] <MatBoy> harveyneon, found it :)
[09:33] <astro76> Aishiko, you could probably customize nautilus if you dig into gconf
[09:33] <v1k1ng> would something like linuxmint livecd be more likely to work?
[09:33] <Fluor> jport: What I was looking for is actually how to write a ps like tool myself (coding in C btw)...
[09:34] <BastetFurry> I am running 7.04 here and not even one KDE based app works, is that some sort of common problem?
[09:34] <MatBoy> is xubuntu much lighter than kubuntu ? I have discovered with Debian that there was a lot of difference
[09:34] <Surlent> maybe it would help if I explained exactly what the problem is, but it would be a bit of a flood, which is why I was asking dug_ there about a PM
[09:34] <Nutubuntu> Surlent, pastebin it
[09:34] <Aishiko> astro76 gconf? I'll look at it.
[09:34] <Jowi> Fluor, you better visit one of the specific programming channels.
[09:34] <indian> how do i connect to the internet through an ethernet connection on a dsl modem
[09:34] <velko> Fluor, look at the /proc virtual file system
[09:34] <sam2> i've managed to get my xserver to start up, but my screen looks like this http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v87/jazoo/misc/DSC00780.jpg. Any idea on how to correct it?

[09:35] <v1k1ng> matboy:  i suspect the differences are similar
[09:35] <indian> is there any way to do it without folowing thows steps
[09:35] <dug_> Surlent: sorry, i'm not sure (if you don't have net access from the live cd to install ntfsprogs).  I tend to use other live cds for drive repair/rescue, like knoppix
[09:35] <indian> i dont understand them very well
[09:35] <Jowi> indian, I would set up the connection in the modem itself (see its manual).
[09:36] <MatBoy> v1k1ng, but the perfomance should be better with XFCE than KDE is what you mean ?
[09:36] <Surlent> ...it's not a whole text file or anything, but it's no one-liner either
[09:36] <Skyfalcon866> what kernel does ubuntu use
[09:36] <Jowi> Skyfalcon866, depends on which version you're using.
[09:36] <Skyfalcon866> fiesty
[09:36] <dug_> Surlent: sure, paste whatever you like.  one thing i forgot is you may need to add sudo to that command i gave earlier: sudo fsck /dev/sda1 or whatever
[09:36] <Aishiko> dang it nautilus is unremovable
[09:36] <v1k1ng> matboy:  yeah, if you're running an older computer with lesser resources, etc xubuntu should work better
[09:36] <Surlent> what the heck, let's give it a go...
[09:37] <Jowi> !info linux-image-generic
[09:37] <v1k1ng> matboy:  I used to run xubuntu on my old pentium III and it ran much nicer than ubuntu
[09:37] <Surlent> it's a two-parter at minimum to avoid cutoff
[09:37] <ubotu> linux-image-generic: Generic Linux kernel image. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.20.16.28.1 (feisty), package size 23 kB, installed size 52 kB
[09:37] <MatBoy> v1k1ng, yeah P4 3Ghz... will order a Q6600 this week again :)
[09:37] <Jowi> Skyfalcon866, there you go
[09:37] <dug_> anyone recommend for or against using tasksel to install server stuff or xubuntu or edubuntu or whatever?
[09:38] <Surlent> so there I was, messing around with Ubuntu, when I decided HEY LET'S INSTALL JUST BECAUSE . So, I went up to the point of cutting off half of my hard drive. I started the acual install, but chickened out and hit Cancel. Restarting XP, I discovered that the partion did indeed take effect. A day later, I got my courage back and decided to install Ubuntu again...(more)
[09:38] <Surlent> ...and decided that to be on the safe side I'd eliminate the partition and start from scratch. Whoops. I eliminated that partion by hitting "Delete Partition". Hot damn. It said the whole thing was "unallocated" now and when I restarted I couldn't get in to anything. So, I decided to try making it one giant partition because that's what my USB drive looked like. Now I have all my space, but I still can't access anything. It's like the directorie
[09:38] <dug_> Surlent: oh i thought you were going to paste it to a pastebin service like:
[09:38] <v1k1ng> matboy:  yeah, I'd say run xubuntu if you want more efficiency.

[09:38] <Chinaski1> hello , i have got an old , bit slow computer (athlon xp 1200) and was considering to install xubuntu on it. can i keep running gtk apps on it like deluge bit torrent ?
[09:38] <v1k1ng> chinaskil:  yup
[09:39] <MatBoy> v1k1ng, yep :) but I have the idea that Ubuntu is already running better than Debian... everything is more integrated
[09:39] <Surlent> anyway I hope that didn't cut off there
[09:39] <Surlent> especially on that second one
[09:39] <Aishiko> Surlent it did
[09:39] <Jowi> Chinaski1, yes. you can even run QT apps if you want.
[09:39] <v1k1ng> matboy:  well you could dual boot for a while til you decide
[09:39] <Nutubuntu> Surlent, it cut off the 2nd one; pastebin it instead pls?
[09:39] <Surlent> argh, fine
[09:40] <Chinaski1> good, has xubuntu got a package menager , like synaptic on ubuntu?
[09:40] <lymeca> I recently upgraded to 7.04 and the options to restart and shut down have disappeared from the power off button.  How can I get them back?
[09:40] <usser> Chinaski1: i believe it uses synaptic
[09:40] <v1k1ng> matboy:  I've considered running xubuntu on my laptop if gutsy doesn't pan out
[09:40] <velko> Chinaski1, xubuntu IS ubuntu. you may use whatever programs you are used to
[09:40] <vandenoever> hi, i want to uninstall vmware-player
[09:40] <v1k1ng> chinaskil:  yes, it uses synaptic
[09:41] <dug_> Surlent: just a guess, but if you can't boot to windows xp anymore, it may be that grub was installed, or your mbr was messed up, search for 'fix mbr ubuntu' or something similar

[09:41] <jcaceres> ?
[09:41] <Jowi> ruben, run "file filename.mpg" and see which video codec it uses. you probably have to install that codec (search synaptic for gstreamer if you run standard totem or xine if you use totem-xine)

[09:42] <Chinaski1> very good, actually on that computer runs ubuntu 7.04. is there a way to switch to xubuntu without reinstalling all the system?
[09:42] <v1k1ng> chinaskill:  basically xubuntu is ubuntu with lighter xcfe desktop instead of gnome or kde, but you can still install programs from both...heck you can still install those desktops if you change your mind down the road
[09:42] <dug_> Surlent: sorry, i'm not sure what the problem is, perhaps someone else here can help out
[09:43] <helloRobot> my computer is on right now, can i just add a pci device? is it plug&play?
[09:43] <v1k1ng> chinaskil:   http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_install_XFCE_.28Xubuntu.29
[09:43] <astro76> helloRobot, no
[09:43] <Roly[] > im having trouble installing ubuntu onto my flash drive, when i boot ubuntu live CD it isnt recognising my flash drive
[09:43] <dug_> helloRobot: a pci card?  you need to have the computer off when you install that
[09:43] <Surlent> dug: Was I too ambiguous?
[09:43] <helloRobot> ok thanks
[09:43] <sam2> I've managed to get my xerver to start up using the fbdev driver but my desktop looks like this - http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v87/jazoo/misc/DSC00780.jpg. does anyone know how to correct it?
[09:44] <bXi> is there any superkarambe clone for gnome?
[09:44] <ruben> @jowi jowi, where do I type "file filename.mpg" in terminal?
[09:44] <Tiradin> the grub info from ubotu doesn't exactly tell me what happened with my laptop nor really how to install GRUB when it had failed like that. My issue was while INSTALLING ubuntu Studio, not afterwards.
[09:44] <Jowi> ruben, yes.
[09:44] <dug_> Surlent: do you think you re-formatted your windows partition?
[09:44] <Chinaski1> v1k1ng,  thanks
[09:44] <velko> bXi, already looked at gDesklets?
[09:45] <rjh> does alien work with win .exes?
[09:45] <Surlent> all I did was hit "delete partion" on the only thing it would let me select
[09:45] <Surlent> I honestly don't know what I did
[09:45] <v1k1ng> chinaskil:  nor problem, that new users guide comes in handy!!!
[09:45] <preaction> rjh, no. you need to use wine for that
[09:45] <PKdoR> Sup peeps?
[09:45] <PKdoR> wazup peeps?
[09:45] <threethirty> does anyone know why I cant get video to play when I have beryl enabled on my laptop (Intel GMA) but it works on my desktop (Nvidia non-free) both running feisty
[09:46] <exerd> Does anyone have ubuntu installed with ati mobile x1600 graphic card?
[09:46] <PKdoR> im having trubble with the screeen savers
[09:46] <Jowi> threethirty, you get a blue screen?
[09:46] <Nutubuntu> Surlent, not sure I'm understanding your problem as you've written it. Is this correct: You have partitioned and re-partitioned (deleted partitions, etc) *and* done a full installation of Ubuntu, and can't login? can't see anything once you login? or what?
[09:46] <Surlent> I just need to find a way to make the little signs on my directories point the right way so that the BIOS doesn't get lost and will let me in, metaphorically speaking...I think.
[09:46] <fatcatmatt> threethirty, what version of fiesty are you running?  x86 or x64?
[09:46] <dug_> Surlent: so you want to keep or recover your windows partition, but when you boot to the ubuntu live cd, you don't see your windows hard drive anywhere, or it is empty
[09:46] <Surlent> I did not install ubuntu
[09:46] <rjh> im  trying winamp going and im using crossover but i have 29 days left and will wine by it self work it?
[09:46] <threethirty> x86 and no its just a blank screen
[09:46] <bXi> velko: gDesklets feel quite slow and dont have much options so to see
[09:46] <PKdoR> wonce my creen saver starts i cant get back un uubuntu, and in stuc at a black screen with the mouse pointer
[09:47] <Jowi> threethirty, which video player are you using?
[09:47] <threethirty> totem
[09:47] <Jowi> rjh, why not use xmms?
[09:47] <Nutubuntu> Surlent, okay, so you repartitioned and did not install, and nothing is on the partitions? If so that would be as expected. I'm sure I'm misunderstanding something
[09:47] <dug_> rjh: xmms is an exact clone of winamp pretty much
[09:47] <rjh> because winamp has the proper setting to dj
[09:47] <cyberjames> hi, how to extract zip files in ftp environment? Is it possible?
[09:47] <ruben> Jowi, it says " MPEG sequence, v2, program multiplex
[09:47] <ruben> " , so I look for "multiplex" at synaptic?
[09:47] <Surlent> I only had 1 partition to begin with. Enter Ubuntu. It made 2, one which was Windows, one unallocated. I deleted the Win...oh hell. I guess I did.
[09:47] <dug_> Surlent: what are you running now?  are you in windows? or running off an ubuntu cd?
[09:48] <astro76> rjh, there's a ton of linux audio players, I'm sure there's something suitable
[09:48] <fatcatmatt> threethirty: i have problems with my laptop (hp dv9230us) with beryl on my nividia go 7600 so i just use the default effects
[09:48] <Surlent> On my computer I am using Ubuntu CD; I am currently typing on a laptop
[09:48] <Jowi> threethirty, totem or totem-xine?
[09:48] <rjh> unless xmms has something i am not aware of
[09:48] <threethirty> jowi, totem with gstreamer
[09:48] <Surlent> So how could I recover/rescue the windows partition would be the question, I guess...
[09:48] <Skrypt> What can I do to mount my external hard drive?
[09:48] <abelabel> what would be the easiest way to convert a pdf file to a bitmap (jpg/png/...) format?
[09:48] <Skrypt> it's not doing it automatically.
[09:48] <dug_> Surlent: on the desktop computer, can you boot it to windows?  if not, can you boot it to run off the ubuntu cd to recover your computer?
[09:49] <rjh> so try xmms with shoutcast plig ins?
[09:49] <Grungebunny> abelabel screenshot?
[09:49] <rjh> plug ins?
[09:49] <Surlent> dug_: No to the first, and I can boot to Ubuntu
[09:49] <dispraekailo> Does anyone here have experience with freenx on gusty?
[09:49] <indian> How do I set up wireless internet in ubuntu if my router has a wpa key
[09:49] <olivier_> I cannot play any sound.... after the greeting sound at the login (and it's bizare I ear it twice) When i try to play a MP3 or a wav or any thing it freeze... and the sudo gedit freee also and the User and Group..... Due it's the same probleme for all those thing?
[09:49] <ruben>  @Jowi, it says " MPEG sequence, v2, program multiplex, for what should I look in Synaptic?
[09:49] <dug_> when you boot to ubuntu, is the windows partition or drive listed or mounted at all?  If it can be mounted, is it empty or does it have your files?
[09:49] <velko> abelabel, not sure but maybe gimp can open pdf? or ps/eps?
[09:49] <n-iCe> Hi
[09:49] <abelabel> Grungebunny: good idea, but if possible I'd like to get it at a somewhat higher resolution
[09:50] <n-iCe> Why when the power goes off, i can't connect to my wireless?
[09:50] <Surlent> hey dug_ is there a spot I can post a screenshot for you? Or DCC it to you?
[09:50] <astro76> indian, do you see your wireless network when you click the network applet (in the tray next to the clock)?
[09:50] <indian> no
[09:50] <dug_> Surlent: you can try posting it to a free image service like http://imageshack.us
[09:50] <Jowi> threethirty, I think you should try to change the video output sink to x11. i don't remember where to do that with totem-gstreamer though...
[09:50] <PKdoR> my ubuntu installation does not recognize my raoi 0 raptors
[09:50] <Surlent> so DCC is out then...
[09:51] <astro76> indian, once it's setup properly that's how you have to connect, what kind of card do you have?
[09:51] <Jowi> ruben, can you give me the full output that "file" gave you?
[09:51] <abelabel> velko: thanks, it works! I hadn't thought Gimp would be capable of it
[09:51] <rjh> speaking of wireless: why does 7.4 connect to the router and 7.10 does not?
[09:51] <threethirty> Jowi, ok ill try that
[09:51] <indian> astro: its an internal wireless
[09:51] <liveboy> h0131m

[09:56] <sam2> Hi i've managed to get xserver to start using th fbdev driver but my desktop looks like this - http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v87/jazoo/misc/DSC00780.jpg. does anyone know how to fix it?
[09:56] <black-unanimous> test
[09:56] <Surlent> this imageshack thing is slow...

[09:57] <Surlent> dug_: Try this... http://img262.imageshack.us/my.php?image=gparteddevhdanu4.png
[09:57] <Jowi> sam2, looks like either fbdev is set to 8 bit (256 colours)...? if it is, change it to 16 or 24 bit. if it is not, try with the vesa driver or use the native driver for your card instead.
[09:57] <threethirty> Jowi, ty
[09:57] <harveyneon> Rubin: i'm about to fdisk delete my ntfs partition. it is my only drive and so my boot partiton. i think grub is my boot program. since this disk shows three partitions, can i assume that one or more of them is a boot sector do you think? i have pasted my df -h output here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/36931/
[09:57] <MatBoy> mhh, the xubuntu installer is damn slow :S
[09:57] <Surlent> it's 800x600 for great justice
[09:57] <Jowi> threethirty, it worked?
[09:58] <sam2> jowi: that is it set to 16, on 24 it becomes black and white. I don't seem to have a vesa option on my PPC G4.
[09:58] <dug_> Surlent: well you said you chickened out before finishing the install.  gparted doesn't actually do the partitioning until after you made all the decisions and confirmed it.  maybe gparted didn't do anything
[09:58] <Nutubuntu> Surlent, anyone who can quote from ayb at a time like this deserves a compliment just for that
[09:58] <Jowi> sam2, oh. don't know that hardware at all i'm afraid.
[09:58] <ruben> @jowi I get a very large list of things I don't understand
[09:58] <JeevesMoss> anyone on the rsync question?
[09:58] <threethirty> jowi, yeah but i went in via commandline, gstreamer-properties
[09:59] <truthsayer> hello guys
[09:59] <dug_> Surlent: also, Windows XP doesn't recognize ext3/swap and other kinds of linux partitions, only ntfs and fat32
[09:59] <LinuxNT> Where to find information to share a Internet connection with firestarter... My PC has a couple of nic: eth0 and wlan0. I need to share via wireless.
[09:59] <truthsayer> I need help with my wireless card through kubuntu
[09:59] <sam2> jowi: thanks for your help anyway :)
[09:59] <LinuxNT> Thanks in advance.
[09:59] <Jowi> sam2, doesn't the G4 come with an ATI card?
[09:59] <Surlent> dug_: That might explain a little
[09:59] <Jowi> threethirty, yeah, that was easier alright. :)
[09:59] <linuxadmin> [bomber] 96281 XDCC SEND #10
[09:59] <dug_> Surlent: in windows you can installed something like explore2fs and be able to view any linux partitions, if need be
[10:00] <Surlent> nice to know, but that is moot at the moment =/
[10:00] <sam2> jowi: it's got an ATI rage 128 graphics card. i've tried the r128 driver, but xserver won't start.
[10:00] <soneil_> JeevesMoss: It's kinda two questions.  are you having problems with rsync or cron? (or both I guess).  fwiw, my magic for rsync is http://pastebin.ca/689037    can't help you with cron, however
[10:00] <truthsayer> could someone try to help me with a wireless problem in kubuntu?
[10:00] <Surlent> anyway that ss is a week old but still entirely relevant.
[10:01] <Surlent> as I am terrified to touch the thing
[10:01] <sasa> hey all, I am having difficulties partitioning my system. Basically, I have one windows, one ubuntu and one fat32 partition
[10:01] <harveyneon> i have an advanced partition question. i have delicious copypasta for you: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/36932/
[10:01] <JeevesMoss> soneil:  it's a fresh install.  I need to have everything (all the sub directories) of /home/www_root/ backed up to a remote box.
[10:01] <Jowi> sam2, ok, then i have no clue.
[10:02] <dug_> Surlent: you might want to invest in a 2nd hard drive or an external hard drive and backup anything you have in windows
[10:02] <sasa> I tried to resise fat32 so I could take away a few gigs and allocate it towards windows partition
[10:02] <[Thom] > You still there?
[10:02] <sasa> I have an issue where, after I boot off of live cd, I cannot allocate extra space to my windows partition
[10:02] <sam2> jowi: haha, again, thanks for your help :). I could do with finding a mac expert
[10:03] <harveyneon> please check my pasted system output and question: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/36932/
[10:03] <Surlent> dug_: If I could get to Windows, I have a second drive I could back crap up to
[10:03] <Surlent> but I can't
[10:03] <Evanlec> sasa, i would suggest resizing your windows partition from within windows

[10:04] <soneil_> JeevesMoss: the rsync part of that is what I just pasted.  you'll want to set up passwordless ssh for it to work nicely (all over google).  I'd just put it in a script somewhere, then adding it to cron should be pretty straightforward
[10:04] <dug_> Surlent: when booted to ubuntu live cd, go to the menu places->computer, then double-click the drive with windows stuff on it if you can.  See if the windows files are visible there.

[10:06] <Jowi> ruben, well, you need plugins. search for "gstreamer plugin" and install the plugin that looks like it can match (gstreamer version 0.10 is probably the version you have)
[10:06] <sasa> Evanlec: it's XP, not Vista
[10:06] <Surlent> neither were viewable at any point, even before the partitioning

[10:11] <jacob_> scguy318: http://pastebin.com/m7e12380b
[10:12] <Dr_willis> chmoding the mount POINT - i think will have No effect on the windows drive.
[10:12] <uncle_grombor> I have an internal cd burner in my computer and ubuntu will not recognize it.  I've looked in the forums, wiki pages, etc...  How do I find out if it just is not supported or if I have a problem with my install?
[10:12] <MattSmith> Dr_W: What's the proper umask=??? so everybody can rw.  Yes, un and re-mounting after editing fstab.  No problem, I really am that stupid.
[10:12] <jacob_> scguy318, thanks for helping me
[10:12] <uncle_grombor> Redhat and windows xp will recognize it however.  Which I find odd.
[10:12] <Dr_willis> MattSmith,  i think its 0002 :) its documented all over the place.
[10:12] <harveyneon> someone with boot partition knowledge please help me with this quick partitioning problem/question: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/36933/
[10:12] <usser> Dr_willis: chown will do though
[10:12] <usser> Dr_willis: when windows is mounted
[10:12] <n-iCe> HOw do i stop my wireless connection
[10:12] <n-iCe> and how to start
[10:12] <dug_> what chown do you do when you are in live cd though?  what is username for live cd user?
[10:13] <Dr_willis> usser,  Hmm..  I cant say that ive ever seen that to be true.   but i got no windows drives to test. :)
[10:13] <scguy318> jacob_: looks like you don't have /dev/radio device, can you pastebin the output of lspci?
[10:13] <MattSmith> Got it, umask=002.  Thanks for the help.  I'll give it a whirl.
[10:13] <scguy318> dug_: the LiveCD user is ubuntu
[10:13] <Dr_willis> usser,  hmm chown.. i always set the uid inb the fstab to be my main user actually. :) guess thats the same effect
[10:13] <usser> Dr_willis: yep
[10:13] <ruben> @jowi, that one all ready seems to be installed
[10:14] <harveyneon> someone with boot partition knowledge please help me with this quick partitioning problem/question: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/36933/
[10:14] <dug_> Surlent: gotta go, if that doesn't work, try "sudo chown ubuntu:ubuntu /media/windows" to give you the right to view the drive
[10:14] <Surlent> dug_: reading the properties area, it says that the contents are Unreadable
[10:14] <Dr_willis> For example, if you want everybody to be able to read, write, and execute every file in your /mnt/c, you should specify the mask 0000:
[10:14] <Dr_willis> /dev/hda1   /mnt/vfat   vfat   umask=0000    0 0
[10:14] <Yuzzy> is it normal that Xubuntu runs slower than XP on my AMD 550 mhz ?
[10:14] <Dr_willis> http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Mount_MS_Windows_partitions_(FAT,NTFS)
[10:14] <jacob_> scguy318: http://pastebin.com/m1a18af1f
[10:15] <Dr_willis> Gentoo is so good for docs. :)
[10:15] <Kae> Should I just ask my question or take a number?
[10:15] <nickrud> allorder: you need to reload the iptable commands at restart; you can use iptables-save and iptables restore in a script
[10:15] <allorder> hi everyone, I did:  sudo iptables -P INPUT DROP after reboot setting is back to default: Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)  what should I do ?
[10:15] <scguy318> Kae: ask your question, doesn't hurt
[10:15] <Kae> Thanks.
[10:15] <scguy318> jacob_: what radio tuner card have you got?
[10:15] <nickrud> *iptables-restore
[10:15] <sasa> Evanlec: how I just downloaded this ntfs application, how do I start it?
[10:15] <allorder> nickrud: how ?
[10:16] <sasa> I can't see it in any of the menus?
[10:16] <Yuzzy> Is Xubuntu supposed to be slwer than XP?
[10:16] <Phydoux> Kae, Ask
[10:16] <scguy318> Yuzzy: no, how much mem do you have?
[10:16] <jacob_> scguy318, i don't know if i even have one, i didn't think i need a tuner card for that, something that i  never heard about
[10:16] <tioan> hi
[10:16] <Yuzzy> 512 meg of ram
[10:16] <tioan> did, suspend2ram or disk works with / on lvm ?
[10:16] <scguy318> jacob_: oh, Gnomeradio == listen to broadcast radio from a tuner card
[10:16] <Ashfire908> how do i bridge two internet connections so the computer acts like a gateway?
[10:16] <scguy318> jacob_: if you mean Internet radio
[10:17] <scguy318> jacob_: counless media players can do that
[10:17] <nickrud> allorder: you'd write a script that uses those commands, add it to /etc/init.d/ , and run sudo update-rc.d <scriptname> defaults to have it run on startup. See /etc/init.d/screen for a template
[10:17] <jacob_> scguy318 i don't know what your talking about
[10:17] <allorder> nickrud: k thx
[10:17] <Yuzzy> scguy: but xubuntu is installed on another drive... a slave ... can this slow down xubuntu?
[10:17] <nickrud> allorder: it'd be simpler to use firestarter to set that; it's script is automatically run at each boot
[10:18] <scguy318> jacob_: Gnomeradio uses v4l to talk to your radio tuner card so you can listen to local radio stations
[10:18] <scguy318> jacob_: however, Gnomeradio doesn't do Internet radio, that is, Internet audio servers
[10:18] <Kae> I'm trying to dual boot with Windows XP SP2 and Ubuntu 7.04 64 bit edition. I have Windows installed already and I'm trying to install Ubuntu now. When I get to the partition screen in Ubuntu it tells me that there is nothing on the hdd except for free space and it tries to create a new partition table. I want to keep my current partition configuration though. Is there a bug in the software or is there a work around for this? Thank you.
[10:18] <scguy318> jacob_: for Internet radio, you would use programs like Rhythmbox or w/e, VLC is my favorite
[10:18] <scguy318> Vuzzy: perhaps, how much mem do you have?
[10:19] <jacob_> scguy318 i do i use VLC as an internet radio
[10:19] <Yuzzy> scguy... 512 mb
[10:19] <scguy318> Yuzzy: more than enough for Xubuntu, im using a crappy 700 Mhz lappy with that much mem
[10:19] <scguy318> Yuzzy: what difficulties are you experiencing?
[10:19] <scguy318> jacob_: what do you wish to accomplish?
[10:19] <nickrud> Kae: try booting the live cd and using cfdisk to create the partition, then tell the installer to use that partition
[10:20] <Jowi> ruben, you might need "mpegdemux". if the mpeg contain several streams you might need to extract the one you want from it. I've never done anything like that myself so I can't help you on how to do it...
[10:20] <Yuzzy> everything is slow... opening a new app, dragging a window...typing in this chat even
[10:20] <allorder> nickrud: I used firestarter but packet are only drop when i run firestarter my self
[10:20] <Nutubuntu> Kae, IDK what's going on with the 64 bit edition, but why use it? it has limitations vs. the 32bit edition and the performance difference is not significant, so I've been told
[10:20] <scguy318> Yuzzy: if you run top in Terminal, any processes that are significatly taking CPU time?
[10:20] <sasa> hello all. I have three partitions on my computer. One is windows, second is ununtu, third is just swap fat32 space. I have 6 gigs of unallocated space that I would like to consume by adding it to my windows partition. Can someone explain the easiest way to do this (I assume using gparted off of live cd)? Thank you for your help in advance
[10:20] <jacob_> i'm new to this stuff, so i'm assuming that i can use the laptop as an FM radio to access different radio stations (live)
[10:20] <harveyneon> my old ntfs windows (broken xp) partition is at the beginning of my hard drive.  it is bootable.  what can i do to reclaim the space from the partition without having to reinstall or damage the computer's ability to boot?
[10:20] <scguy318> jacob_: you need a tuner card to do that, if you dont already have one
[10:20] <Yuzzy> scguy..: what do you mean?
[10:21] <bobbyyu> Can someone please tell me what "job-hold-until-specified" means?
[10:21] <Dr_willis> sasa,  you want to move free space from the end of the hd, to the partition at the front of the hd?
[10:21] <Ashfire908> how do i bridge two internet connections so the computer acts like a gateway?
[10:21] <parent> I get a nvidia logo on the login screen and it stops there. Any help??
[10:21] <MattSmith> Dr_W: I set the permissions in fstab the way you wrote; still the mount point in the filesystem that I set is showing read only for the user.  wtf?
[10:21] <nickrud> allorder: strange, since firestarter's script is called at startup, and whenever the network device goes up or down; see /etc/init.d/firestarter and /etc/network/ip-up.d/
[10:21] <jacob_> scguy318, how can i tell if i have a tuner card or not?
[10:21] <scguy318> Yuzzy: open the Terminal, type top, Enter, what processes are taking up most CPU/mem?
[10:21] <Dr_willis> MattSmith,  you are using the shell for this? that gentoo wiki i pasted gave command line examples also.
[10:21] <scguy318> jacob_: you probably don't, i'm not wholly familiar with v4l but based on what I see with your lspci, I don't think you do
[10:21] <sasa> Dr_willis: YES
[10:22] <Dr_willis> MattSmith,  i would guess you are doing somthing trivially wrong and over looking the mistake.
[10:22] <MattSmith> I am using the shell and I missed the gentoo wiki.  Do you have a link for it?
[10:22] <uncle_grombor> sasa:  sudo qtparted in ubuntu.  This will allow you to actually change the partitions size, then just use the gui to change it.  Remember to actually commit the changes before closing.
[10:22] <Dr_willis> sasa,  id think you have to delete the stuff on the end.. shift/move the middle over to the end, thus freeing up the space in the middle of the drive. then resize the first partition to make use of it..
[10:22] <TheZanke> Whats the best linux program to write code with? Just gedit?
[10:22] <Yuzzy> scguy... where would be the terminal in Xubuntu?
[10:22] <allorder> nickrud: u want me to past script ?
[10:22] <Dr_willis> sasa,  i did a similer thing on my laptop last month.. took about 3 Hrs for gparted to do it. :(
[10:23] <Yuzzy> ohh got it!!
[10:23] <nickrud> allorder: yours? sure
[10:23] <IAmMe1> could anybody help me get my machine to recognize an external hard drive?
[10:23] <sasa> uncle_grombor+Dr_willis thank you I will try it
[10:23] <jacob_> scguy318 is it possible to add more radio stations in rhythmbox?
[10:23] <scguy318> Yuzzy -> Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal
[10:23] <HyperCity> does anyone know where are stored settings for the desklets? i can't find any .desklets folder in my home
[10:23] <sasa> dr_willis: 3 hours! I hope it doesn't take that long:)
[10:23] <scguy318> jacob_: i do not know, I don't use Rhythmbox
[10:23] <Yuzzy> scguy..: Root takes up to 30%
[10:23] <nickrud> TheZanke: depends on taste and needs:  phpedit, emacs, vim, eclipse, are just a few
[10:23] <jacob_> scguy318: ok scguy318, thanks for your help
[10:23] <Dr_willis> sasa,  laptop = 2 gb ram, 5400 speed hd, 20gb moveing around.. 1.6 ghz cpu.. so.. :) it may depend.
[10:24] <scguy318> jacob_: np
[10:24] <Dr_willis> sasa,  i would advise BACKING up stuff first.
[10:24] <usser> nickrud: there Kde's Kdevelop
[10:24] <MattSmith> Dr_W: does this help? (from the mount point fo the volume I'm talking about)$ ls -al

[10:24] <SEJeff> HyperCity, If you are using gdesklets, they have mad memory leaks and will take up hundreds of megabytes of ram for no reason after a day or so
[10:24] <usser> nickrud: sorry
[10:24] <scguy318> Yuzzy: the process name, and what value?
[10:24] <scguy318> Yuzzy: though it sounds like Xorg to me
[10:24] <usser> TheZanke: theres Kde's Kdevelop
[10:24] <Yuzzy> scguy... sorry.... Xorg and Gaim right now are even with 30 to 50%
[10:24] <TheZanke> nickrud, I want it to work through the GUI have auto indent and syntax highlighting for python...
[10:24] <parent> I get a nvidia logo screen where the login window should be! How can I fix this? I installed a driver with envy because the others started to not work.
[10:24] <nickrud> usser: ok, I'm not overly offended to be pointed at kde
[10:24] <SEJeff> TheZanke, sudo apt-get install spe
[10:24] <usser> nickrud: nah it wasnt for u ))
[10:25] <bXi> hmmm
[10:25] <bXi> got 1 last issue
[10:25] <IAmMe1> my machine wont recognize my seagate external hard drive. anyone know why this might be?
[10:25] <scguy318> Yuzzy: if you shut down gaim, any better?
[10:25] <bXi> the buttons in the taskbar in gnome arent filling the space it got
[10:25] <Dr_willis> parent,  that nvidia logo should flash on/off real fast then get to the real login screen.. I cant help with envy sorry. What video card you have exactly?
[10:25] <scguy318> Yuzzy: and is Firefox open
[10:25] <scguy318> ?
[10:25] <sasa> uncle grombor: I tried running "sudo qtparted" in terminal and nothing is answering
[10:25] <sasa> did you mean sudo gparted?
[10:25] <sasa> does this only work when booted off of live cd?
[10:25] <Dr_willis> sasa,  you want to use the parted tools from a live cd normally.
[10:25] <parent> Dr_willis, NX7900GS
[10:26] <scguy318> sasa: gksudo gparted
[10:26] <scguy318> sasa: gksudo for GUI apps
[10:26] <Dr_willis> you do NOT want to do parted tools on a running system. :)
[10:26] <Dr_willis> well unless its on a unmounted drive.
[10:26] <HyperCity> SEJeff: no gdesklets, the desklets package , i have a desklet that refreshes 10 sec, i,vd set up the refrash to 1 sec and now it crashes, just want to return to defoult
[10:26] <uncle_grombor> do you have an Icon for qtparted.  I've never actually used gparted.  I mostly have done it with knoppix, but receantly did it from 7.04
[10:26] <sasa> scguy318: ok, thank you
[10:26] <parent> Dr_willis, I never tried envy before either, it usually just automatically dl the driver I need but I got alot of crashes and some guy in quakenet told me to uninstall all drivers and install through envy
[10:26] <allorder> nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/36939/
[10:26] <Jense> Can anyone recommend a graphical tool for managing the fstab file?
[10:27] <robert__> i'm getting errors with package managers
[10:27] <sweetestlove> does anyone know how to figure out which version of ubuntu you have?
[10:27] <Dr_willis> parent,  interesting. I tend to use the restricted manager package/tool to get them going.
[10:27] <TheZanke> SEJeff, ty
[10:27] <uncle_grombor> If you have an Icon right click it and go to properties
[10:27] <osmosis> anyone else playing with xen today?
[10:27] <allorder> nickrud: /etc/network/ip-up.d/ is a blank file
[10:27] <Dr_willis> parent,  using envy will cause issues in the long run. I know. :) from another user i met.
[10:27] <Jowi> parent, I think you do it with "sudo nvidia-xconfig --no-logo"
[10:27] <trwww> How do I configure the font size of the login input filed and the options labels of the login screen?
[10:27] <sasa> dr willis: that is a powerful laptop
[10:27] <rathel> I just started using mrxvt, it's quite nifty and fast, but I can't seem to get True Translucency working.
[10:27] <trwww> s/filed/field/
[10:27] <uncle_grombor> sasa, set the command line to sudu qtparted and have it run in terminal.
[10:27] <soccermike1337> How hard is it to dual boot windows xp and ubuntu with ubuntu already installed?
[10:27] <Dr_willis> sasa,  not really. Its rather low end. :) was $500 a year+ ago.. i added the ram.
[10:28] <IAmMe1> Can anyone help me figure out how to get my machine to recognize my external hard drive?
[10:28] <Dr_willis> sasa,  you can get 2x the laptop now for $500
[10:28] <kitche> soccermike1337, install xp reinstall grub :)
[10:28] <scguy318> soccermike1337: takes a bit more work
[10:28] <soccermike1337> is it hard to reinstall grub?
[10:28] <nickrud> allorder: typo: /etc/network/if-up.d/
[10:28] <scguy318> soccermike1337: GRUB is easy enough, but u have to tweak menu.1st for the XP entry I think
[10:28] <soccermike1337> oh
[10:28] <soccermike1337> :-/
[10:28] <robert__> how do i resolve "dpkg was interrupted, you must manuall run 'dpkg --configure -a to correct the problem:?
[10:29] <sasa> dr willis: that's very cheap: where could you get a laptop that cheap? I got my dell inspiron 5100 (2.6ghz P4 with 512mb ram and 40gb hard dr for like $1600+ three years ago
[10:29] <scguy318> soccermike1337: there should be a Ubuntu Wiki article on installing XP after Ubuntu
[10:29] <usser> robert__: its just what it is run dpkg --configure -a
[10:29] <soccermike1337> oh ok
[10:29] <scguy318> robert__: as root
[10:29] <robert__> won't let me
[10:29] <soccermike1337> ok, next question: does anyone know how to slipstream drivers onto an XP disc?
[10:29] <scguy318> robert__: prefix that with sudo
[10:29] <usser> robert__: did u sudo it?
[10:29] <robert__> i tried
[10:29] <scguy318> soccermike1337: nLite
[10:29] <parent> Dr_willis, ok so how should I get it to work? I can uninstall the current driver I have now with envy but how do I dl another one?
[10:29] <robert__> sudo apt-get
[10:29] <uncle_grombor> What's up with sudo and why can't I have total root access?
[10:29] <scguy318> !sudo
[10:29] <parent> Jowi, the logo isn't problem, it's just that it freezes there
[10:29] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[10:29] <usser> robert__: sudo dpkg --configure -a
[10:29] <nickrud> allorder: also, you might like shorewall if you're having issues with firestarter
[10:29] <bullgard4> A memory dump starts with ""CPU 0: Hot: hi: 0, btch: 1 usd: 0 Cold: hi:0, btch: 1 usd: 0" What do these abbreviations mean? (see http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/14722/)
[10:29] <scguy318> uncle_grombar: it's NOT a good idea to have root privileges, you WILL screw something up if you're root all the imte
[10:29] <Jowi> parent, oh
[10:30] <bobbyyu> Does anyone know what "job-hold-until-specified" means?
[10:30] <allorder> nickrud: what should i do in /etc/network/if-up.d/
[10:30] <Evanlec> soccermike1337, yes check out nLite its free
[10:30] <Jowi> !sudo | uncle_grombor
[10:30] <sweetestlove> does anyone know how to figure out which version of ubuntu you have?
[10:30] <ubotu> uncle_grombor: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[10:30] <nickrud> allorder: that was just to point out that firestarter's iptable statements get called when the interface goes up
[10:30] <uncle_grombor> Didn't want it for all the time.  Just something like Username:root pswd:*****.  I understand what sudo is, I just don't like it! :-P
[10:30] <sasa> do i have to unmount the partition I am trying to expand before adding unallocated space to it? is there a way I would need to unmount unallocated space?
[10:31] <scguy318> sasa: yes
[10:31] <Dr_willis> sasa,  when using the parted tools. the whole Drive must all be Unmounted.
[10:31] <nickrud> TheZanke: got sidetracked: http://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonEditors

[10:31] <Dr_willis> sasa,  not just the partitions you are working on. :) to be safest
[10:31] <Nighthawk420> hey yall
[10:31] <sasa> ok guys, thank you, I'm gonna give it a whirl
[10:31] <scguy318> uncle_grombor: you can sudo -s, then set passwd for root
[10:32] <robert__> now add/remove programs is just freezing when i try to uninstall adept manager
[10:32] <Nighthawk420> o wait i gotta go get a new half-terrabyte external
[10:32] <Nighthawk420> bbl
[10:32] <scguy318> uncle_grombor: then you can su I believe for root acces
[10:32] <dappermuis> sasa, i never saw the beginning of the conversation, but if you're messing with partitions your best option would be to use gparted
[10:32] <sasa> if you don't hear from me soon, it means I completely distroyed my data and am in a severe state of shock
[10:32] <sasa> :)
[10:32] <Dr_willis> sasa,  this is why backups are good things.
[10:32] <yakov> hello
[10:32] <astro76> scguy318, that's what sudo -s does, give a root shell, so why set a root password?
[10:32] <scguy318> astro76: he wants a root account that he can login to
[10:32] <Dr_willis> sasa,  i tend to use the gparted live cd. for all my parting needs.
[10:32] <uncle_grombor> Hmm, I did that, but I never tried su.  Lets see. :-)
[10:32] <sasa> dr willis: haha, I do have most of the stuff on an external hd
[10:33] <sasa> Dr_willis: yes, I am booting off of live cd and am going to run gparted
[10:33] <Jowi> uncle_grombor, either use "sudo -i" to get a root shell.
[10:33] <sasa> wish me luck
[10:33] <Jowi> s/either//
[10:33] <allorder> nickrud: should i delete firestarter before installing shorewall ?
[10:33] <bullgard4> A memory dump obtains: "9 pages dirty" (http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/14722/). What does this mean?
[10:33] <scguy318> uncle_grombor: sudo is preferred but if you really want to be able to login as root, then w/e floats your boat
[10:33] <uncle_grombor> COOL.  It worked.
[10:34] <parent> !driver
[10:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about driver - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[10:34] <Nutubuntu> uncle_grombor, that page has a lot of information and is worth reading even if you have resolved your presenting problem
[10:34] <nickrud> allorder: yes, that way they won't interfere with each other's iptable settings. shorewall has a default config in /usr/share/doc/shorewall that does what you want

[10:36] <scguy318> n-iCe: in that case, whatver card you're using, the native driver should be loaded on start
[10:36] <Nutubuntu> uncle_grombor, is there a dvd (or cd) in the drive at the moment?
[10:36] <rukie> SATA or IDE dvd drive?
[10:36] <tatters> anyone know of a live cd that has partimage compiled with the login option?

[10:39] <astro76> !defrag | Skyfalcon866
[10:39] <ubotu> Skyfalcon866: defragmentation is not needed for Ext3 and ReiserFS filesystems. They are much more efficient in their allocation of storage units.
[10:39] <scguy318> jacob_: sure, wut desktop are you using
[10:39] <parent> how do I run the Restricted Devices Manager from Terminal?
[10:39] <Gosha> What alternative to notepad++ is there in *nix?
[10:39] <Nutubuntu> Skyfalcon866, why do you think you need to defrag?

[10:39] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[10:39] <astro76> Skyfalcon866, I'm sure it's the same with JFS
[10:39] <Skyfalcon866> ok
[10:39] <Nutubuntu> even if I misspelled him ;p
[10:39] <yakov> is it possible to see if my bluetooth is really enabled?

[10:40] <kitche> yakov, well considering it's a smart phone they sell look up on how to get them working with Linux
[10:40] <Skyfalcon866> i was getting sick of ext3s usage of the disc
[10:40] <PKdoR> can any body point on the right direction please
[10:40] <jacob_> scguy318 i'm trying to make firestarter run at start iup
[10:40] <scguy318> Ashfire908: im guessing bridge-utils
[10:40] <uncle_grombor> ruki,  Did both and said no such file or directory.
[10:40] <scguy318> jacob_: you dont need to
[10:40] <scguy318> jacob_: iptables is loaded on startup, Firestarter is just the GUI
[10:40] <yakov> kitche, maybe you know how can i check if my laptop bluetooth adapter is turned on
[10:40] <Ashfire908> !info bridge-utils > Ashfire908
[10:40] <sasa> dr willis: you there?
[10:40] <jacob_> scguy318 can you explain?
[10:40] <colercoaster> wow, loads of people in here.
[10:40] <Skyfalcon866> is reiserfs journaled
[10:41] <Nutubuntu> Skyfalcon866, not to get into a FS holywar but wouldn't any journaling FS have a usage issue? or looked at the other way, vs eachother, no issue?
[10:41] <Jack_Sparrow> !firewall
[10:41] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[10:41] <yakov> seems like it's off.. though as i said i've restarted /et..bluetooth :/
[10:41] <n-iCe> scguy318 http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/36944/
[10:41] <davy> hello, does anyone knows the command to start the alsa server?
[10:41] <daylighter> does anyone know why when I ctrl-F7 or whatnot instead of a terminal screen I see garbled characters?
[10:41] <kitche> yakov, the light should be on for it
[10:41] <Dr_willis> sasa,  Hmmmmmmmmm?
[10:41] <scguy318> davy: ALSA should load on startup, wuts up
[10:41] <davy> yeah, but jack won't connect to it
[10:41] <yakov> kitche, kiddin' ;) macbook has no LEDs for this :)
[10:41] <Dr_willis> daylighter,  you mean the 'consoles' alt-ctrl-F1 through F6 are garbled?
[10:41] <scguy318> n-iCe: lol, silly me, pastebin the output of lsusb, i forgot you have a USB device
[10:41] <yakov> uh oh.. Linux damn way... I just want it to work :)
[10:41] <Skyfalcon866> Nutubuntu: Ext3 used 6Gb when i formatted and JFS uses 54Mb after format
[10:41] <scguy318> n-iCe: sry for inconveinence
[10:42] <daylighter> yes Dr_willis
[10:42] <kitche> yakov, then look up macbooks but all laptops have leds for bluetooth
[10:42] <jacob_> scguy318: i'm i firewalled if i don't have firestarter?
[10:42] <benjamin1254> i am having an issue with apt-get it wont let me install anything ... i go like sudo apt-get update and it wont do anything it just sends me to another bash promt for another command like it dident recognise it or nothing is there
[10:42] <yakov> i dont want to spend whole day figuring our how to pair mouse :)) i want to do REAL work :)
[10:42] <kitche> yakov, the led might be in the OS instead
[10:42] <n-iCe> scguy318 http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/36945/
[10:42] <Jack_Sparrow> jacob_: yes
[10:42] <scguy318> jacob_: yes, Firestarter just lets you configure the firewal
[10:42] <Jowi> daylighter, try setting up the framebuffer to one that suits your graphic  card better. see !framebuffer
[10:42] <scguy318> benjamin1254: pastebin the output of the error
[10:42] <daylighter> !framebuffer
[10:42] <ubotu> If you would like information on framebuffers, please visit: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer
[10:42] <Dr_willis> daylighter,  ive seen issues like that with the framebuffer device, and some X video drivers. sort of rare now a days. I'd disable the framebuffer in the grub configs  as a test.
[10:42] <benjamin1254> there is no error
[10:42] <jacob_> oh ok
[10:42] <benjamin1254> it just wont do anything at all
[10:43] <Jack_Sparrow> jacob_: You only need firestarter to open up something, else the defaults are fine.. Verify this using grc.com shields-up port scan
[10:43] <hype_> hi :)
[10:43] <daylighter> Dr_willis, thanks, it's really weird, it just recently started doing it, i used to tab over into a console and use elinks all the time
[10:43] <scguy318> benjamin1254: so what's the problem?
[10:43] <hype_> any idea why gutsy tribe6 wasnt released? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GutsyReleaseSchedule
[10:43] <benjamin1254> benjamin1254@ashley-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get check
[10:43] <benjamin1254> benjamin1254@ashley-desktop:~$
[10:43] <benjamin1254> i get nothing
[10:43] <benjamin1254> see
[10:43] <davy> (if i'm right it is alsad )
[10:43] <Dr_willis> daylighter,  ive seen it a lot with different versions of the nvidia/ati/whatever drivers. sadly.
[10:43] <kitche> hype_, ask #ubuntu+1 but probably ebcause it's not ready
[10:43] <Dr_willis> daylighter,  older one worked.. new one dont.. next one does.. ect. :)
[10:43] <jacob_> Jack_Sparrow, very helpfull
[10:43] <n-iCe> scguy318 what do you think?
[10:44] <hype_> kitche , thanks
[10:44] <jacob_> scguy318 the same for you
[10:44] <scguy318> n-iCe: can you tell me what model your wireless device is? and do you have your Windows drivers?
[10:44] <Dr_willis> bbl ya all
[10:44] <kitche> hype_, or they are getting ready for beta
[10:44] <Jack_Sparrow> jacob_: It isnt like windows where you need to pick a firewall and manage everything
[10:44] <scguy318> jacob_: ty, though I'm having trouble sifting through the sea of talk :)
[10:44] <tatters> tribe 6 is spoosed to be released on the 10th apperntly
[10:44] <scguy318> tatters: they're not releasing tribe 6, its a bug milestone I think
[10:44] <n-iCe> scguy318 I'm connected to my wireless drivers are ok, everything is ok , but it doesn't connect automatically i need to send again: sudo iwconfig eth0 essid NAME and the key, got it?
[10:44] <MatBoy> is there a default password set for root on a Ubuntu installation ?
[10:44] <n-iCe> How do i enable autoconfig, or something similar
[10:44] <MatBoy> it never asked for a root-password
[10:45] <scguy318> n-iCe: ohhhh, then just use nm-applet
[10:45] <Usrl> MatBoy: should be the same as your deefault usre account
[10:45] <parent> ok now I can't get in through recovery mode either, I get this: "Kernel panic - not syncing : Fatal exception in interupt". I get this on both 16 and 15
[10:45] <scguy318> n-iCe: or edit /etc/interfaces I think
[10:45] <tatters> well i thought it was a beta concentrating on bug fixes
[10:45] <Jack_Sparrow> !root | MatBoy
[10:45] <ubotu> MatBoy: 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
[10:45] <n-iCe> scguy318 look
[10:45] <kitche> tatters, tribe6 is alpha beta will be out on the 27th
[10:45] <davy> thx guy bye
[10:45] <MatBoy> Jack_Sparrow, ok, so I will use SUDO from now on as user
[10:45] <scguy318> n-iCe: wut
[10:46] <Jack_Sparrow> MatBoy: Not a good idea
[10:46] <n-iCe> scguy318: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/36946/ it must be ok , i don't find somethign wrong
[10:46] <cyberjames> hi Zevs789
[10:46] <Jack_Sparrow> MatBoy: You only use it as needed...
[10:46] <n-iCe> are my /etc/network/intercfaces
[10:46] <MatBoy> Jack_Sparrow, how than ?
[10:46] <Skyfalcon866> will gusty gibbon have KDE4
[10:46] <tatters> hmm was told the tenth in ubuntu+1 and sure I read in the ubuntu site it was spossed to be acctually relaeased on the 5th, still had a lot updates last few days
[10:46] <Jack_Sparrow> MatBoy: also use gksudo to run gui apps as root
[10:46] <parent> How do I fix "Kernel panic - not syncing : Fatal exception in interupt" Error?
[10:47] <PriceChild> !gutsy
[10:47] <ubotu> Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10) | (due October 2007) | It is development software, as such unstable, support _only_ in #ubuntu+1
[10:47] <kitche> Skyfalcon866, maybe sicne tribe's have kde4
[10:47] <scguy318> n-iCe: what device is your wireless device? eth0?
[10:47] <Usrl> MatBoy: using sudo for day to day things is like using a drill when a screwdriver would suffice. It might be a little bit easier to not have to switch tools, but you've got a much higher chance of hurting yourself with the drill
[10:47] <clever> parent: what kernel version(uname -r)
[10:47] <n-iCe> scguy318 yeah
[10:47] <jacob_> Jack_Sparrow, i don't know how to use this site, how i'm i suppose to scan my ports?
[10:47] <Timbooooo> is it possable to view all wireless networks in the area?
[10:47] <uncle_grombor> What is compu fuzion?  Might be spelling it wrong.  I've been told that it comes packaged with GG.
[10:47] <Jack_Sparrow> jacob_: click on shields up and follow the prompts
[10:47] <n-iCe> scguy318: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/36947/ loook my iwconfig
[10:47] <kitche> !compiz-fusion | uncle_grombor
[10:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about compiz-fusion - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[10:47] <jacob_> Jack_Sparrow, can you try to walk me through it?
[10:47] <MatBoy> Usrl, ok, but I have to read about it than I guess.. if I need to install stuff, I normally did this as root
[10:47] <tatters> Timbooo: yes
[10:47] <nickrud> Timbooo: if you're not using ndiswrapper, kismet is nice
[10:48] <kitche> uncle_grombor, the new version of compiz and beryl merge
[10:48] <Usrl> MatBoy: some installs need root, some don't. Only use root when you have to
[10:48] <MatBoy> Usrl, ok, sounds normal indeed
[10:48] <Timbooooo> nickrud i dont know what those are... im trying to connect a laptop i just installed ubuntu on, to the internet
[10:48] <sexcopter> hi, is there a way to make torrent files open in utorrent (under wine) by default on double-clicking>
[10:48] <sexcopter> ?
[10:48] <MatBoy> Usrl, that was what I expected with Debian too... seems to be different there ;)
[10:48] <Jack_Sparrow> jacob_: https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2
[10:49] <uncle_grombor> Nod, I've just read good and bad things about it on the forums.  Oh, I did the ln's and it said no such directory.
[10:49] <Skyfalcon866> does kubuntu get more attention than ubuntu or vice versa
[10:49] <nickrud> Timbooo: right click the network applet on the top bar, make sure wireless is enabled, and left clicking the same icon should show you the nets in the area
[10:49] <n-iCe> scguy318 Do you see something wrong?
[10:49] <sasa> dr_willis: ok, I am booted off of live cd. I have two unallocated partitions and two used partitions (one windows and one linux). I want to add those two unallocated partitions to windows and linux, respectively. I have gparted open. I do not see an option to unmount. If I select the windows of linux partitions, it does not let me increase their sizes. Can you please walk me through how I could increase windows and linux partitions?
[10:49] <Timbooooo> nickrud ok thanks
[10:49] <sasa> dr_willis: please note that unallocated space is at the end of the hard drive, if that could be an issue.
[10:50] <scguy318> n-iCe: not rly, i'm not wholly familiar with your problem, continue inquiring in here

[10:50] <thomas1> Hello, Can anyone tell me is there a program to remotely control a windows desktop using the build in windows remote access software, or is something like VNC best to use?
[10:50] <nickrud> !wireless | Timbooo you might not have your wireless set up yet, this should get you set up
[10:50] <ubotu> Timbooo you might not have your wireless set up yet, this should get you set up: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[10:51] <Jack_Sparrow> tatters: Is that a script for linux or windows?
[10:51] <Timbooooo> nickrud thanks
[10:51] <tatters> think it works on both but used it on linux only becuase of packet injection
[10:51] <_MattB_> if i have a large collection of mp3s, is there a native program that will  download album art for me?

[10:51] <usser> _MattB_: Amarok
[10:52] <_MattB_> thx, i look into that

[10:53] <Night_Owl> God I feel like an idiot right now.. I had to remove a router from my network because the person that owns it is leaving, and I forgot what settings I had on my Edgy box to connect to PPPoE through the switch to the modem. Can someone at least hand me a link on where to look to fix this back to where it was?
[10:53] <_MattB_> will either of them allow me to run a command to download it, or does it just download when playing?
[10:53] <bobbyyu> Where can I go for Linux Printer help?
[10:53] <nickrud> Night_Owl: if you have the username and password, ppoeconf should set you up

[10:57] <Dylan_Winik> Hello all
[10:57] <Dylan_Winik> could someone possible help me out?
[10:57] <n-iCe> Dylan_Winik maybe asking :)
[10:58] <tatters> is there any plans in pipeline for ubuntu to have a system  imaging/snapshot /restore type feature
[10:58] <Jowi> Edward_Bear / Night_Owl , the old pppoe settings are in /etc/ppp/ (chap-secrets or pap-secrets) if that's what you're looking for...
[10:58] <uncle_grombor> Did some looking, I don't know if this will help the other person with the hard drive problem, but I'm going to try it for mine.  For the person who had the usb HD problem, go here.  http://www.mepis.org/node/10817?page=1
[10:58] <nickrud> n-iCe: look two lines before your last question ;)
[10:58] <Dylan_Winik> first time using linux, i have downloaded a torrent with .rar files which im trying to extract so i can watch it. I have installed rar and unrar but it doesnt seem to be working
[10:58] <Edward_Bear> Jowi: That might help.. let me see if I can find them..
[10:58] <bascule> rar x some.rar
[10:58] <scguy318> n-iCe: nm-applet is a GUI app that lets you automatically manage connections
[10:58] <parent> wich nvidia driver should I have for 7900GS?
[10:58] <nickrud> Dylan_Winik: you need to install rar-nonfree
[10:58] <scguy318> n-iCe: i think you said you were on a Terminal
[10:59] <n-iCe> nickrud ok can i installed if i'm on console ? is it graphical ?
[10:59] <scguy318> n-iCe: so hmmmm
[10:59] <parent> legacy, glx, or glx-new?
[10:59] <sasa> can anyone please tell me how can I expand ntfs partition by adding non-allocated space to it? Gparted doesn't let me expand the nfts partition.
[10:59] <Pelo> Dylan_Winik,  just right click the icon and select extract here
[10:59] <uncle_grombor> How do I install Lilo over grub?
[10:59] <nickrud> Edward_Bear: if you can't, try pppoeconf
[10:59] <n-iCe> yup i am scguy318, doesn't work with me right?
[10:59] <nickrud> n-iCe: yes, graphical
[10:59] <cjns3274> does ubuntu provide the GNU manuals?  Can't find them anywhere in debian
[10:59] <n-iCe> ok
[10:59] <Pelo> !lilo | uncle_grombor
[10:59] <ubotu> uncle_grombor: lilo is an alternative [Li] nux Boot[Lo] ader. Note: it is recommended that you use GRUB on Ubuntu instead.
[10:59] <Jowi> Dylan_Winik, is it multiple rar archive?
[10:59] <Dylan_Winik> Jowi, ye
[10:59] <n-iCe> nickrud How do I install a lighter and nice desktop?
[10:59] <nickrud> cjns3274: good question
[10:59] <Dylan_Winik> Pelo, gives me an erro
[10:59] <scguy318> n-iCe: xubuntu-desktop?
[10:59] <Jowi> Dylan_Winik, you need "unrar" not the free version
[11:00] <uncle_grombor> I know, but I am having problems finding my DVD drive and I think this may fix it.
[11:00] <scguy318> cjns3274: man pages?
[11:00] <nickrud> n-iCe: try fluxbox , it's light and can be as pretty as you like
[11:00] <Dylan_Winik> Jowi, i did a apt-get install unrar
[11:00] <Pelo> Dylan_Winik,  if it is a fragmented archive fine the r00 file and extract that one
[11:00] <Edward_Bear> ah I remember using that.. that'll be much easier.. thanks Jowi
[11:00] <n-iCe> nickrud sudo apt-get isntall fluxbox ?
[11:00] <Jowi> !info unrar
[11:00] <cjns3274> nickrud: thanks :-)
[11:00] <ubotu> unrar: Unarchiver for .rar files (non-free version). In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1:3.7.3-1 (feisty), package size 94 kB, installed size 228 kB
[11:00] <Jowi> Dylan_Winik, so "unrar x file.rar" should do it.
[11:00] <HyperCity> for anyone that is itrested the config files of screenlets are on /home/~/.config/Screenlets/
[11:01] <Dylan_Winik> Jowi, it says the following:
[11:01] <Dylan_Winik> Extracting from mvs-hpoted-cd2.r10
[11:01] <Dylan_Winik> Cannot find volume mvs-hpoted-cd2.r11
[11:01] <Dylan_Winik> No files to extract
[11:01] <Dylan_Winik> and no .avi
[11:01] <nickrud> n-iCe: yes,
[11:01] <Pelo> Dylan_Winik,  it is possible that the archive is corrupted, specialy if you get errors after a while and not right from the start
[11:02] <nandemonai> Dylan_Winik, Sounds like your missing parts of a spanned archive.
[11:02] <n-iCe> nickrud ok, it will load a graphical desktop everytime that i reboot?
[11:02] <Jowi> Dylan_Winik, so mvs-hpoted-cd2.r11 is missing. as Pelo said.
[11:02] <Dylan_Winik> ok let me try something
[11:02] <Dylan_Winik> thanks alot guys
[11:02] <nickrud> cjns3274: it's the gnu documentation license thing,
[11:03] <nickrud> n-iCe: you should also install xdm or gdm if you want it to load the desktop on boot
[11:03] <tatters> how do
[11:03] <nickrud> n-iCe: http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/ has a lot of information about it
[11:03] <n-iCe> nickrud sudo apt-get install fluxbox; sudo apt-get install gdm , would be ok ?
[11:04] <sasa> hello. Can anyone tell me how can I expand ntfs partitions using gparted off of live cd?
[11:04] <Yuzzy> sasa: yes you can
[11:04] <nickrud> n-iCe: yes, in fact you can do them both at the same time: apt-get install fluxbox gdm fluxconf fbdesk    would be a good line to use
[11:05] <[Thom] > How do I get rid of this? grep: /usr/local/lib/python2.5/python2.5: Too many levels of symbolic links
[11:05] <Pelo> sasa,  just unmout it ,  then select the  resize /move from the right click menu ,  but you can only resize to the "right"   if the free space is on the left you need to move it first
[11:05] <tatters> anyone take snapshot or image of their systems,having trouble with live cds and ubuntus partimaged which is not compatible with 2 I tried so far IE system rescue cd and gparted
[11:05] <Usrl> [Thom] : You never happened to play FFXI, did you?
[11:05] <Yuzzy> I installed Xubuntu on a slave drive and it runs slower than my XP (on my master drive). Does the fact that it's running from a slave could be my problem?
[11:06] <Pelo> [Thom] ,  sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/python2.5/python2.5
[11:06] <[Thom] > Usrl: No, sorry
[11:06] <sasa> Pelo: that is exactly my predicament: there is no space to drag to the right. I do have over 7 gigs of unallocated space. How can I move it so I can expand my nfgs partition?
[11:06] <tatters> is your slave on same channel as other drive or cd/dvd?
[11:06] <Usrl> [Thom] : alright, no problem. Just used to know someone by your name.
[11:06] <Yuzzy> tatter... on the same channel?
[11:06] <Pelo> sasa, take a screenshot of the gparted windows and uplaod it to imageshack so I can have a look
[11:06] <tatters> same ide cable etc
[11:07] <[Thom] > Usrl: What is FFXI ?
[11:07] <Usrl> [Thom] : MMORPG.
[11:07] <sasa> ok
[11:07] <[Thom] > Final Fantasy?
[11:07] <tatters> how is it physically attached
[11:07] <Yuzzy> tatter... yes
[11:07] <Usrl> [Thom] : Final Fantasy XI, yes.
[11:07] <shock> hi .... has any one here tried installing Ubuntu on an raid 0 configured alienware ??
[11:07] <Pelo> !raid | shock
[11:07] <ubotu> shock: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO
[11:07] <Yuzzy> tatter: Should I change it?
[11:07] <Pelo> shock,  I thnk that's what you need
[11:08] <parent> Ubuntu freezes at nvidia logo screen ( login screen won't come up ), how can I fix this?
[11:08] <tatters> ifit on same as cd/dvd I would make it first device
[11:08] <shock> I went through the link ... but am facing few problems
[11:08] <Skyfalcon866> who uses KDE
[11:08] <shock> do i have to format it completely .... or can i install in a second partition  ?
[11:08] <Usrl> parent: sounds like a video driver problem to me
[11:09] <Yuzzy> tatter... thanks... will check that immediatly....
[11:09] <Usrl> parent: have you tried checking your drivers?
[11:09] <Edward_Bear> Jowi: how do I figure out which file it might be between chap and pap? I can't apparently open them to tell the difference :/
[11:09] <[Thom] > What is the /usr/local/lib directory used for?
[11:09] <Yuzzy> How can I disable the screensaver in xubuntu?
[11:09] <shock> I have an XP/Vista on the laptop currently, Is there a possibility to install Ubuntu on another partition without formatting
[11:09] <Pelo> shock,  you can install on a second partiton,  if you select  manual partitioning when yo get to that step you can probably ( I've never done it in raid) specify new partitions for /home /swap /home
[11:09] <Jowi> Edward_Bear, "sudo cat /etc/ppp/chap-secrets" they should be identical.
[11:09] <Usrl> Yuzzy: screensaver stuff should be under your system preferences stuff
[11:09] <Pelo> Yuzzy,  set it to never ?
[11:10] <Yuzzy> pelo: But where?
[11:10] <slimjimmy> yuzzy: if you can go to where you configure the screensaver, there should be an option to enable/disable it
[11:10] <Pelo> shock, except for the raid part (which I donT' know about) you can rezise the nfts partition to make a new partition to install ubuntu on
[11:10] <jamster545> Jowi: are you still on?
[11:10] <Pelo> Yuzzy,  see Usrl 's comment
[11:10] <Jowi> jamster545, yeah. but getting tired. what's up?
[11:10] <urilockz> Posting here, wine-hq is dead.      I'm trying to get Fallout 2 working in wine, install worked fine but im getting trouble with 'Please insert the CD' I have tried adding scripts to nautilus and ACEtonel.

[11:11] <Yuzzy> Slimjimmy: I didn't set the screensaver. I don'T know where to launch the settings
[11:11] <Usrl> urilockz: the wine channel is #winehq -- not wine-hq
[11:11] <parent> usrl, i've tried a whole lot of stufff :o
[11:11] <shock> yeah I think its the RAID thats giving the trouble ..when trying to install it doesn't even recognize the harddrive
[11:11] <jamster545> Jowi: i got the graphical OS running but realized i didnt like the gnome environment. i downloaded KDE ut need to know how to run that instead
[11:11] <sasa> sorry
[11:11] <urilockz> oh...
[11:12] <nandemonai> Yuzzy, System -> Preferences -> Screensaver like the other guys said.
[11:12] <urilockz> thanks
[11:12] <shock> i mean the partitions ....it shows as a single partition .though there are 3 existing
[11:12] <sasa> Pelo: http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/650/screenshotwf9.png
[11:12] <Jowi> jamster545, easiest way to install kde is to install the package "kubuntu-desktop"

[11:12] <jamster545> Jowi i have already installed the KDE environment but just need to execute it
[11:13] <Edward_Bear> Jowi: Barring the commented lines, there's a group of five lines with a commented heading that starts 'Users that cannot use PPP at all.'.. all say guest/master/etc  hostname     "*"   -
[11:13] <jamster545> is there a specific window manager i need?
[11:13] <phil212> hello
[11:13] <Edward_Bear> The username and password on both are correct though.
[11:13] <Jowi> jamster545, log out. select kde as session. log in. easy as that
[11:13] <Pelo> sasa,  which partition do you want to extend ?
[11:13] <usser> jamster545: yep log out
[11:13] <Edward_Bear> sorry, the extra lines are in pap.
[11:13] <jamster545> how do i select KDE as a session?
[11:13] <phil212> can anyone tell me how i can recive packets using this chat?
[11:13] <sasa> I want to equally split the unallocated space between the ntfs and ubuntu partitions
[11:14] <SeanTater> Can one multithreaded program using 2 totally independant threads occupy 2 cores simultaneously
[11:14] <Nutubuntu> jamster545, when you login, click "Sessions" before you key in your username and password
[11:14] <sasa> pelo: *please look up
[11:14] <bobbyyu> uncle_grombar: How do you add the printer?
[11:14] <Jowi> Edward_Bear, paste bin the files so I can have a look. can't promise it will tell me anything though.
[11:14] <jamster545> ok. i will try and if i need more help i wil log back on. sorry  when i it comes to ubuntu i am kinda newbish on most things
[11:14] <bobbyyu> Where do you find the driver files?
[11:15] <Jowi> Edward_Bear, or send it to me by private message if you don't want to post them.
[11:15] <uncle_grombor> bobbyyu:  Did you go to the site?  There should be a link to lexmark at the site I gave you.
[11:15] <PKdoR> is there a quick user switch "short-cut key" for ubuntu like "window key+L" on xp ?
[11:15] <bobbyyu> I did
[11:15] <uncle_grombor> You download the rpm and convert with alien
[11:15] <Pelo> sasa,  I'm not sure you can expand a  ntfs aprtition with gparted ( because gparted does not support formating ntfs' I know you don't want to format it but I think part of the expanding process might involve formating the new part) ,
[11:15] <phil212> can anyone tell me how to recive files on this chat please?
[11:15] <chrismurf> My USB keyboard works in BIOS and grub, but once Feisty boots I need to unplug and replug it before it works.  Any tips?
[11:15] <Edward_Bear> um.. not sure how I'd do that.. I'm using my XP box to chat since I can't seem to get an internet connection on Ubuntu atm :P
[11:15] <bobbyyu> I know, but when you add the printer, you need to select the driver
[11:15] <Phydoux> phil212, DCC
[11:16] <phil212> how do you use it?
[11:16] <Jowi> chrismurf, sounds like a kernel bug. try a different kernel and/or bug report it.
[11:16] <Jowi> !bug | chrismurf
[11:16] <ubotu> chrismurf: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.ubuntu.com/  -  Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/products/ubuntu-bots
[11:16] <uncle_grombor> give me a sec, have to check.  I got a different printer since then and I don't remember.  It should be in the list of drivers though.
[11:16] <routerguy> can anyone tell me how to get the ddclient from dyndns.com installed
[11:16] <Ninio> how can I log in as root in the terminal in ubuntu?
[11:17] <Nutubuntu> !root | Ninio
[11:17] <ubotu> Ninio: 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
[11:17] <Jowi> Ninio, "sudo -i"
[11:17] <chrismurf> Jowi, the Kernel complained about not getting some sort of ID on boot, but it's not in messages or dmesg
[11:17] <uncle_grombor> type sudo as the username and the password is root!
[11:17] <Ninio> 10x
[11:17] <Ninio> let me try
[11:17] <Pelo> sasa,  in any case ,  this would be the sequence of step you would have to do , 1st , resize the ext3 partition to add an extra 3.6 gig on it , 2nd,  move the ext3 partiton to the end of the hdd ( in the dialog lave the same totatl space and select 0 space after , or whatever it is ) ,  what is left of the free space will be between the ntfs and ext3 partiton,  then you resize the ntfs partition
[11:17] <Yamfox> I was wondering if ubuntu had complete tablet pc support
[11:17] <phil212> isnt there some type of code you can enter to recive a file like on MIRC?
[11:17] <Pelo> sasa,  just one quesiton ? what happened to your /swap ?
[11:17] <Ninio> 10x
[11:17] <bobbyyu> I dkpg the files, then what do I do?
[11:18] <Jowi> chrismurf, usb keyboards should "just work (tm)"
[11:18] <chrismurf> Jowi, I agree ;-)
[11:18] <Pelo> phil212,  when someone sends you a file you should get a dialog asking if you want to accept it and where you want to store it
[11:18] <chrismurf> Jowi, alright - will look into it
[11:18] <uncle_grombor> bobby, use Cups printer gui in system to add the printer.
[11:18] <phil212> ok :)
[11:18] <Jowi> chrismurf, try a different kernel version. you never know :)
[11:19] <bobbyyu> I know, but where can I find the device driver file?
[11:19] <phil212> is it as fast as software like limewire?
[11:19] <uncle_grombor> In the directory you downloaded it and extracted it.
[11:19] <slimjimmy> bobbyyu: what brand is the printer?
[11:19] <uncle_grombor> z600 lexmark
[11:19] <bobbyyu> Lexmark Z600
[11:19] <bobbyyu> So it's the .deb files right?
[11:19] <uncle_grombor> yes.
[11:19] <uncle_grombor> execute them.
[11:20] <bobbyyu> Sorry, how do I do that?
[11:20] <Timbooooo> how do i login as root in the terminal
[11:20] <uncle_grombor> try double clicking them
[11:20] <bobbyyu> OK
[11:20] <meoblast001> hi

[11:20] <scguy318> slimjimmy: or sudo -s
[11:21] <meoblast001> any explanation for why the booting of my Flash Drive Ubuntu is nothing but a blinking terminal cursor?

[11:22] <Yamfox> I will
[11:22] <Pelo> meoblast001, while you can install on a flsh drive I'm not sure it makes ubuntu portable , meaning you would hve to use it on the same computer all the time ( drivers and stuff) , do you think that might be the issue ?
[11:22] <jamster545> Jowi: thanks
[11:22] <Jowi> no probs jamster545

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

[11:41] <Pelo> Jengerer, try looking up your model ( lappy and soundcrad) in the forum ,maybe trhere are speciial instrucitons
[11:41] <ipx> Jengerer: does it solve your problem?
[11:41] <scguy318> NuCobra: plenty of games in repos
[11:41] <ipx> Jengerer: if not, try a reboot
[11:41] <scguy318> NuCobra: lemme see about Neverwinter NIghts
[11:41] <chief> NuCobra: Neverwinter Nights has a native Linux client
[11:41] <Jengerer> Pelo, I tried that already, and its either that nobody has the same Lappy model, or they DO have the same, but they didn't resolve it.
[11:41] <jamster545> ipx: i am making an SSH server not connecting to one. i am turning my comp into a personal proxy

[11:43] <enes> :(
[11:43] <ipx> Jengerer: ok :/
[11:43] <ipx> Jengerer: thats odd, cause it seems your drivers are already installed
[11:43] <enes> i use Kazehakase and i dont login :| why ?
[11:43] <Jengerer> Yeah, and I tried the drivers from ALSA already, too... :(
[11:44] <ipx> Jengerer: do not give up, make a thread on www.ubuntuforums.com

[11:47] <nickrud> Jengerer: usually it's because the driver didn't recognize your model ; try adding     options snd_hda_intel model=conexant  in it's own file in /etc/modprobe.d
[11:47] <jamster545> yes it can
[11:47] <sleepster> is there a way to maximize a window across multiple monitors?

[11:49] <wolferine> mike01, what else isnt setup correctly ?
[11:49] <Jengerer> nickrud: In the file, the other options lines have dashes instead of underscores, do I put snd-hda-intel or what you wrote?

[11:51] <ipx> jamster545: since i've never even heard of it, i have no idea what setting to change :)
[11:51] <nickrud> meoblast001: there are certain places that you don't have write access to, and be extremely careful with nautilus; use gksu or gksudo with it if you must

[11:54] <scguy318> grtrew: have your restricted drivers installed?

[11:55] <Jengerer> IPX/Nickrud, it didn't work, but I think that it could be because I played around with the settings too much, 'cause now it gives me errors that weren't there before. I'm probably going to re-install Ubuntu.
[11:55] <dazrour> hi
[11:55] <nickrud> meoblast001: ok, only root can read it.
