[12:04] <soundray> LjL: not for recursive deletion. 'rm -r' now deletes non-empty directories.
[12:04] <lorenzo_> hello, someone know a good text editor like uedit for windows
[12:04] <LjL> soundray: without asking, just like rm -rf used to?
[12:04] <[nrx] > soundray: i'll probably just end up using rm -rf all the time anyway lol
[12:04] <Aynuth> Asspirate?
[12:04] <soundray> LjL: yes. Shocking, isn't it?
[12:04] <hmhowie> lorenzo_: for smaller tasks, gedit is probably enough. something like emacs would be overkill
[12:04] <Evanlec> lorenzo_, try gedit? or do u have more advanced needs?
[12:05] <LjL> soundray: well i can't quite understand why they made that change
[12:05] <Inaudito> Hi, someone can help me with SDL libraries?
[12:05] <asspirate> ANUSSTTHHHH
[12:05] <Aynuth> AAYYYNUUUUUUUTH
[12:05] <[nrx] > LjL: because what's linux if there isn't a bit of confusion once in a while?
[12:05] <asspirate> so how about them jews??
[12:05] <LjL> asspirate, i think you're spamming
[12:05] <asspirate> no
[12:05] <LjL> no - in fact, worse
[12:05] <lorenzo_> I want to replace a word in many different files and cannot do it easly with gedit
[12:05] <jlouis_> lorenzo_: if you time to burn and want something powerful, then look at emacs og vi(m)
[12:05] <[nrx] > lorenzo_: google "sed" :)
[12:06] <jlouis_> you have
[12:06] <hmhowie> lorenzo_: use a for loop on the shell.
[12:06] <jlouis_> ah, for that, sed(1) is definetely the trick
[12:06] <[nrx] > :)
[12:06] <jrib> Inaudito: best to just ask the channel your next question and see if anyone knows the answer
[12:06] <soundray> lorenzo_: 'sed -i s/old/new/g *.txt'
[12:06] <Sitherae> Can someone help me get the syntax on a launcher right?

[12:07] <jlouis_> scriptz0r knowledge is impordant
[12:07] <Sitherae> im typing this "cd "/home/andrew/.cedega/Steam/c_drive/Program Files/Steam" && WINEDEBUG=-all wine steam -applaunch 240 -window -dxlevel 90" into a launcher command, but its not running what I want it to. Yet it runs when I type that into terminal
[12:07] <soundray> [nrx] : which he all got from http://www.pixelbeat.org/cmdline.html :)
[12:07] <judgen> how do i make rhythmbox go to system tray instead of closing when i use the close button
[12:07] <[nrx] > lol
[12:07] <lorenzo_> <soundray how do I do with sed ?
[12:08] <soundray> lorenzo_: I just told you, haven't I?
[12:08] <hmhowie> lorenzo_: something like "for i in `find . -name "*.txt"` do; echo $i > sed -e "s/oldtext/newtext/g" > $i; done" should almost work
[12:08] <[nrx] > soundray: nice find :) *bookmarked*

[12:08] <jrib> judgen: just click on the button in the system tray and it will go there
[12:09] <soundray> lorenzo_: if you want me to be more specific, you'd have to tell me what you are going to replace with what.
[12:09] <hmhowie> soundray: i'm just worried about packing the output of sed back into nice little neat files

[12:12] <HardDisk> I did autoremove/clean and dpkg --configure -a
[12:12] <soundray> lorenzo_: the full name, please
[12:12] <jrib> Inaudito: SDL libraries are packaged in ubtunu's repositories.  Do you know how to use the package managers in ubuntu to install software from the repositories?
[12:13] <jlouis_> Inaudito: you don't have permission to write to /usr/local ?
[12:13] <soundray> HardDisk: on feisty?

[12:13] <rocunreal> Madpilot, these* Fonts will work for Ubuntu Inkscape?
[12:13] <lorenzo_>  /opt/lampp/htdocs/websites/klimberadikt/gallery/grimpe/
[12:13] <Madpilot> rocunreal, any standard TTF font will work in Inkscape & in Ubuntu
[12:13] <jlouis_> HardDisk: the $TOPIC over there may be your problem ;)
[12:14] <rocunreal> ^^ o thanks
[12:14] <HardDisk> didnt know there was a +1 chan :)
[12:14] <Inaudito> jrib: I know how to use Synaptic, but I don't know specifically which libraries install
[12:14] <jrib> Inaudito: why do you want the SDL libraries?
[12:14] <HardDisk> yea well been using gutsy for a month now
 i did it by using "sudo"
[12:14] <HardDisk> no issues till today
[12:14] <soundray> lorenzo_: 'find /opt/lampp/htdocs/websites/klimberadikt/gallery/grimpe/ -name *.html -print0 | xargs -0 sed -i s/orange/grey/g'
 to run "NetHack: Falcon's Eye"
[12:15] <jlouis_> Inaudito: do root have permission to write there?
[12:15] <jrib> Inaudito: install the "falconseye" package in synaptic
[12:15] <Sitherae> jrib: when im putting the path to the shell script.. what extention do I put on it?
 I will try it
[12:15] <soundray> lorenzo_: here's a refinement that creates backups of the originals: 'find /opt/lampp/htdocs/websites/klimberadikt/gallery/grimpe/ -name *.html -print0 | xargs -0 sed -i~ s/orange/grey/g'
[12:16] <jrib> Sitherae: whatever you want but it's customary to name your file with .sh
[12:16] <Inaudito> I will be back in a minute
[12:16] <lorenzo_> the problem is in the directory <grimpe> there is others directory...
[12:17] <soundray> lorenzo_: that's not a problem.
[12:17] <hmhowie> lorenzo_: find will find the other directories, don't worry
[12:17] <rocunreal> where is my fonts directory in Linux Ubuntu?
[12:18] <jrib> !fonts > rocunreal (read the private message from ubotu)
[12:18] <lorenzo_> it doesnt work
[12:18] <Sitherae> jrib: So it should look like this? http://rafb.net/p/83Pd1J41.html
[12:18] <soundray> lorenzo_: can you be more specific
[12:19] <jrib> Sitherae: sure that would work.  You could get rid of the ; and just start a new line too if you wanted
[12:19] <lorenzo_> ist in french, but some like : no file or directory of this type
[12:19] <Sitherae> jrib: still not working
[12:19] <xeer> somehow i'm not able to drag a window to my other monitor.. what could cause this?
[12:19] <soundray> lorenzo_: do your html filenames end in html?
[12:19] <jrib> Sitherae: does it work when you execute the script in the terminal?
[12:19] <amidaniel> xeer: Do you have them set up as separate Xwinds?
[12:20] <Sitherae> yes
[12:20] <Sitherae> jrib: yes
[12:20] <jrib> Sitherae: how are you creating this launcher?
[12:20] <thinman1189> I want to install beryl but when I go to Restricted Drivers Manager it is the NVIDIa Accelerated Graphics driver is not in use. Would it be safe to enable? Would it be necessary to enable in order to use Beryl?
[12:20] <xeer> amidaniel, Xwinds? not familiar with that
[12:20] <lorenzo_> yes
[12:20] <Sitherae> its in gDesklets
[12:20] <demon_spork> tinman1189 yes
[12:20] <Sitherae> jrib: its in gDesklets
[12:20] <demon_spork> thinman1189 yes
[12:21] <amidaniel> xeer: X windows. If you have them set up with twinview or xinerama you can drag windows from one monitor to another, if you have them set up as seperate x windows it will not work
[12:21] <lorenzo_> there is maybe an option like -r to tell to look recursively..
[12:21] <BaD_CrC> ok, i feel stupid at the moment. how do you take a screenshot of the active window only, not the whole screen?
[12:21] <soundray> lorenzo_: you haven't entered the quote marks ('), have you?
[12:21] <jrib> Sitherae: hrmm, I don't have gdesklets... you type '/home/andrew/name_of_your_script.sh' and press enter in a terminal and works though?
[12:21] <BlkGhost>  FORMAT /dev/sdb1 ext3
[12:21] <BlkGhost> Error: Could not detect file system.
[12:21] <BlkGhost>  ?????????????///
[12:21] <lorenzo_> yes I did
[12:21] <xeer> amidaniel, i used startx. i'm not sure what it is setup for. can i force it to do xinerama?
[12:21] <Sitherae> jrib: lemme try
[12:21] <soundray> lorenzo_: you're not supposed to. Everything 'between' the quote marks.
[12:22] <Sitherae> jrib: ahh permission denied. I need to add sudo?
[12:22] <CorpseFeeder> Anyone know how to get quicktime vids on http://www.apple.com/trailers to play in feisty? They used to work in edgy, but now they just sit there and never load.... Any clues?
[12:22] <neztiti> how i can remove iconv
[12:22] <thinman1189> demon_spork : yes to both questions, that it is safe and is necessary?
[12:22] <amidaniel> xeer: I'm not familiar with startx; however, you should be able to confiure this somewhere in its settings
[12:23] <demon_spork> thinman1189, safe as in damage to hardware or safe as in Will my Ubuntu stop working?
[12:23] <jrib> Sitherae: you need to make it executable.  Either right click on it and go to properties or do 'chmod +x FILENAME.sh'
[12:23] <jrib> !permission > Sitherae (read the private message from ubotu)
[12:23] <amidaniel> xeer: Bletch .. I'm an idiot :) If you're using startx, then yes, you'll have separate x-sessions
[12:23] <amidaniel> You'll need to install xinerama or twinview and configure it

[12:24] <neramos> Does anyone know how to use microsoft online with word over crossover in Ubuntu 7.04 ?
[12:24] <rocunreal> i want to create a direct under my fonts directory but i cannot because i do not have sudo granted
[12:24] <jrib> rocunreal: the web page ubotu gave you tells you exactly what you need to do, do you see it?
[12:25] <Evanlec> neramos, thats too much microsoft for ubuntu ;p
[12:25] <PKdoR> I would like to ad a dock to my destop but have no clue as far as which one to install
[12:25] <rocunreal> yea  but i really stink with the Console window :(
[12:25] <Sitherae> jrib: do you know how I made it so it always executes it?
[12:25] <jrib> Sitherae: how?
[12:25] <Sitherae> jrib: and the thing that says "Do you want to execute or view its contents" doesn't show up
[12:25] <rocunreal> and creating Directories but ill try ;(
[12:26] <[nrx] > i've decided to give up on compiz. just having no luck with it at all.
[12:26] <jrib> rocunreal: if you want to just add a font for your user, you don't need to create directories or even open the terminal.  Is that what you want?
[12:26] <speps> hey guys...i can't understand why ... but i can't access to download.microsoft.com on Ubuntu!WHY???are they trying to kick us???
[12:26] <demon_spork> thinman1189, I do not know of any problms with that series card, but enabling the drivers can make X not work in rare cases (like with an 8800GT), but you should be fine, it can't damage hardware and is very unlikely to break your ubuntu system
[12:26] <Sitherae> jrib: I meant.. do you know how..
[12:26] <JoCo1> yeah are there any good dock programs for ubuntu?
[12:26] <rocunreal> Yes
[12:26] <Sitherae> jrib: lol sorry messed that out
[12:26] <rocunreal> Thats Exactly my problem
[12:26] <demon_spork> thinman1189, my recommendation is to go ahead with it and try to install compiz-fusion, not beryl
[12:26] <rocunreal> it wont let me create a folder

[12:31] <lufis> !webcam > lufis
[12:31] <soundray> Skaag: probably less on Linux than elsewhere, but still a pain.

[12:31] <[nrx] > !repeat | joebob777as7
[12:31] <ubotu> joebob777as7: 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
[12:31] <JoCo1> wow got logged out or somthing lol
[12:31] <Evanlec> !lxdoom
[12:31] <rocunreal> jrib, you ment the address bar then right under home?
[12:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about lxdoom - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[12:32] <jrib> rocunreal: yes, so you can type in the address I said
[12:32] <Traveler4> hello. i had to pull my video card and switch to onboard card. now (as i expected) x org won't start. how can i configure it?
[12:32] <tseug> is gutsy gibbon out yet
[12:32] <CoasterMaster> tseug, no it is not
[12:32] <jrib> sh3l1: the output of 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' is what I meant
[12:32] <Traveler4> another problem is that i am not presented with a command line when xorg fails
[12:32] <sh3l1> jrib:  ok, i see
[12:32] <Sitherae> My volume is really quiet.. I have to turn my speakers up all the way to hear something... This just started yesterday.
[12:32] <rocunreal> jrib, alright ill give it a try thx for helping a complete newb
[12:32] <jrib> Traveler4: can you hit ctrl-alt-f1 to get to a tty?
[12:32] <codename> Hey I need some help with lxdoom
[12:33] <soundray> Traveler4: Ctrl-Alt-F2 should give you a text login. From there, log  in and fix it with 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'
[12:33] <TedOnion> Sitherae: can you expand on your problem?
[12:33] <sh3l1> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37842/ ... and it just stays like that for a long time, times out and trys again
[12:33] <jrib> Sitherae: double click on the speaker icon in your taskbar and make sure nothing is low (especially PCM)
[12:33] <codename> Hey I need some help with lxdoom
[12:33] <Sitherae> Ted: Umm.. what do you mean?
[12:33] <amidaniel> Traveler4: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg

[12:34] <sh3l1> jrib: sorry, i didn't say your name
[12:34] <amidaniel> Traveler4: erm ... sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[12:34] <amidaniel> Traveler4: Boot into safe mode if you can't launch the std interface
[12:34] <Sitherae> jrib: everything is up except for front mic and line it.
[12:34] <jrib> sh3l1: what happens when it stop trying?
[12:34] <jrib> Sitherae: don't know then
[12:34] <TedOnion> Sitherae:   have you tried a pair of headphones you can use to make sure the problem is not with the speakers?
[12:34] <Traveler4> amidaniel: okay .i have a shell line now. but how do i configure x org for the new card?
[12:34] <fungos> Im having problem with USB2 (ehci_hcd module) to connect my PSP. It works sometimes, other it crashes. I need reload the module to work again: http://rafb.net/p/oS7mjD93.html
[12:35] <Sitherae> Ted: Its not the speakers. I have windows on dual boot and they work fine.
[12:35] <BlkGhost> Can someone please help I'm having a hell of a time getting this second HD formated and mounted right ????
[12:35] <amidaniel> Traveler4: Type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[12:35] <amidaniel> It should be able to autodetect everything, so just accept its defaults
[12:35] <sh3l1> jrib; it asks me a few questions about what i want to install and then starts probing for an unused subnet thingy again
[12:35] <jrib> BlkGhost: easiest to use GNOME partition editor  after installing the "gparted" package for the formatting part
[12:35] <TedOnion> Sitherae:  good, at least you have isolated the issue.  We any changes at all made that could have brought about the problem?
[12:35] <sh3l1> jrib:  i don't really want the thing, i just want to abort
[12:35] <JoCo1> Yay thanks so much guys you just got your newest Ubuntu user! Thanks for everyone being so helpful I finally partitioned my HD and am anout to explore around a bit
[12:36] <[nrx] > JoCo1: have fun :)
[12:36] <jrib> sh3l1: give it some time and try to let it complete
[12:36] <Sitherae> Ted: Umm.. I installed compiz.. Thats about it... and its not even running right now.
[12:36] <sh3l1> jrib:  ok, i'll tell you if that works
[12:36] <Tufkal> Dying for some help with this.  Any routing/bridging gurus in tonight? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3387328&posted=1#post3387328
[12:36] <Traveler4> amidaniel: do you think that a random, but new, onboard gfx card will be able to display beryl? or should i not even try?
[12:37] <BlkGhost> it won't format
[12:37] <BlkGhost> Failed to open device
[12:37] <BlkGhost> Session management error: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed

[12:37] <lewix> join #kubuntu
[12:37] <sh3l1> jrib: it worked! do you know what the package name for democracy player is?
[12:37] <amidaniel> Traveler: Most onboard cards are crap, but I truly can't say whether or not a certain card could handle beryl
[12:37] <jrib> sh3l1: democracyplayer
[12:37] <usser> hey
[12:37] <soundray> Traveler4: get X to work first, then worry about beryl.
[12:37] <amidaniel> soundray: Good suggestion :)
[12:37] <sh3l1> jrib:  thanks, i got to go, i just started uninstalling my im client to upgrade
[12:38] <jrib> BlkGhost: does the parted GUI not load then?
[12:38] <jrib> gparted even
[12:38] <BlkGhost> no it loads
[12:38] <BlkGhost> I did a su root
[12:38] <BlkGhost> the ran it from the termina;
[12:39] <jrib> BlkGhost: try to keep what you say on a single line, or else the channel becomes too busy
[12:39] <BlkGhost> k
[12:39] <jrib> BlkGhost: close that and just run it as your normal user.  What happens when you select your drive from the drop down menu in the corner and try to format it?
[12:39] <TedOnion> Sitherae:  Is the volume just too low or is there also distortion or other noise?
[12:39] <bastid_raZor> jrib try to keep what you say in a single line, or else the channel becomes too busy
[12:39] <BlkGhost> it says that it doesn't have root permissions to do that operation
[12:40] <Sitherae> Ted: really low
[12:40] <jrib> bastid_raZor: I try, but sometimes it slips :)
[12:40] <Sitherae> Ted: no distortion or anything
[12:40] <barata> hey all, how to unzip a 7-zip file
[12:40] <barata> what is the app name?
[12:40] <bastid_raZor> heh
[12:40] <jrib> !7zip > barata (read the private message from ubotu)
[12:40] <TMG-Studio> I need some help ... I have a situation where someone dicked me for about $1500 on a consulting job.  He runs a successful dotnetnuke website that if taken down may make him reconsider paying me.  I have a lot of dirt on this guy.  A little leverage maybe all that is needed.  I should mention that his system is typically two to three security patches behind.  I am not a unix geek, but I can find my way around the terminal.  Any thoughts?
[12:40] <jrib> !offtopic | TMG-Studio
[12:40] <barata> it doesnt work jrib
[12:40] <ubotu> TMG-Studio: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[12:41] <jrib> barata: *what* doesn't work exactly?
[12:41] <joebob777as7> hey how do i change the password length minimum?
[12:41] <soundray> TMG-Studio: my first thought is you are asking for help to commit a felony.
[12:41] <velko> joebob777as7, set it in /etc/pam.d/common-password
[12:41] <Sitherae> ted: nevermind it IS the speakers.. just plugged my iPod into them..
[12:41] <[nrx_] > anyone else having issues staying connected here? :o
[12:41] <Sitherae> Ted: thanks
[12:41] <TMG-Studio> who says I would commit anything .. I am just thinking outloud :)
[12:41] <barata> ark doesnt decompress 7zip
[12:42] <barata> my system doesnt have it
[12:42] <barata> soundray, what is the app name?
[12:42] <jrib> BlkGhost: it doesn't prompt you for a password?
[12:42] <TedOnion> Sitherae:  good to hear you found the problem, sorry about the busted speakers.
[12:42] <joebob777as7> velko, i'm trying to make a password for someone with 5 chars in /etc/pam.d/common-password it already has it at 4 chars? any ideas?
[12:42] <jrib> barata: the wiki page ubotu gave you tells you exactly what package you need
[12:42] <BlkGhost> Gparted does ... It says it Formated but I can't copy anything to the HD now ???
[12:43] <moDumass> hey all, so i had this "failed to connect to klauncher" error so no ktorrent, then i got it up and running, as i can see its going in system monitor, but theres no window or taskbar icon.. any ideas?
[12:43] <jrib> BlkGhost: ok, so you are past the formatting part.  Have you mounted it?
[12:43] <BlkGhost> no
[12:43] <Sitherae> Ted: its cool :D
[12:43] <jrib> BlkGhost: ok, what filesystem did you use?
[12:43] <barata> jrib ... giving a reference is not the same with answering
[12:43] <BlkGhost> Ext3
[12:43] <velko> joebob777as7, in this file you set min-max values. passwd containing 5 chars is longer than minimum of 4 so it's a legal length
[12:44] <jrib> barata: reading what the page says is the same as reading what I type but prevents me from going crazy by typing the same thing a million times :)
[12:44] <[nrx] > barata: you wont learn by being spoonfed. You will learn by reading. We're here to point you in the right direction.
[12:44] <joebob777as7> velko, can you create a user with 5 char pass? i know it's valid but it's saying it won't let me...
[12:44] <Sitherae> Ted: Wait.. lol they work now!
[12:44] <joebob777as7> velko, it tells me it must be 6 chars...
[12:44] <barata> you guys are useless snobbish newbies
[12:44] <barata> bye
[12:44] <[nrx] > LOL
[12:44] <[nrx] > what an ass.

[12:47] <Sitherae> amidaniel: you know what I mean :D
[12:47] <amidaniel> heh :)
[12:47] <[nrx] > the good thing about linux is that once you've spent time working on it and understanding it.. it's far more productive and usefull than windows can ever be
[12:48] <skiter> oi
[12:48] <Sitherae> Yup. I got 260 fps in CSS :D
[12:49] <Poet_with_a_Gun> Hey gents, I tried to download and burn the GG iso.. but, it's totally like 717 megs and my cd's only hold 700 and I've read that if a cd supports more than 700 it's not in orange book compliance what gives?
[12:49] <[nrx] > tsk tsk 'gents'
[12:49] <Sitherae> Yes. I believe you need to say ladies also.
[12:50] <Poet_with_a_Gun> I wasn't going to bother any ladies with my petty issues.
[12:50] <Sitherae> lol. irc trolling
[12:50] <Poet_with_a_Gun> *covers*
[12:50] <[nrx] > lol
[12:50] <moDumass> hey all,  if ktorrent is running but theres no user interface, how do i resolve this?
[12:50] <[nrx] > moDumass: try killing the process and launching it again
[12:50] <Sitherae> moDumass: and if that doesn't work.. do you see it in your tray at the bottom right?
[12:50] <Poet_with_a_Gun> Seriously though, it is supposed to be over 717 or did I get a bad dload?
[12:51] <Poet_with_a_Gun> or does the linux peguin god just love to toy with me
[12:51] <Sitherae> Penguin*
[12:51] <Snipe> Does someone here have experience with getting the headphone-out working?
[12:51] <Sitherae> Snipe: I do

[12:52] <Snipe> I've read alot on ubuntu forums, but no solution seems to work for me
[12:52] <Snipe> How did you do it?
[12:52] <Sitherae> Snipe: Double click your speaker settings at the top of your screen.
[12:52] <mc44> Poet_with_a_Gun: #ubuntu+1 for gutsy support. And download the tribe cd's not the dailies
[12:52] <Poet_with_a_Gun> I tried to put i on my 4g sd drive but that was a wash, the instructions were for dapper
[12:52] <Poet_with_a_Gun> OH okay.
[12:52] <Sitherae> Snipe: You there?
[12:52] <Poet_with_a_Gun> isn't tribe kbuntu?
[12:52] <Snipe> Sitherae: The volume control?

[12:58] <[nrx] > verb0ss:  no problem :)
[12:59] <verb0ss> i thout its my national channel
[12:59] <verb0ss> bye
[12:59] <kbrooks> ShackJack, its not a program, its added to the panel
[12:59] <Sitherae> Shack: Its not a program, its a function
[01:00] <ShackJack> kbrooks: Yes and what program is called when clicking that quite added to panel or the one in the menu - the one that brings up the options - shutdown, etv...?
[01:00] <ShackJack> Sitherae: DO you know how to call it from terminal?
[01:00] <sh3l1> jrib, and it still does that weird config thing when i installed miro
[01:00] <jrib> sh3l1: ps -ef | grep vmnet-natd     turn up anything?
[01:00] <Sitherae> Shack: Give me a second.
[01:00] <TheArthur> how do i turn off the system beep
[01:00] <kbrooks> ShackJack, i dont know, but i do know a few things (from reading the source code of a few gnome applets):
[01:00] <TheArthur> its deffining
[01:00] <ShackJack> My GNOME desktop is quasi-freezing when I try to quit (from either one) - sys monitor keeps going but I can't click anything or pull uop anything....
[01:00] <Sitherae> Shack: its "exit"
[01:00] <jrib> TheArthur: system -> preferences -> sound -> beep
[01:01] <TheArthur> jrib thanks
[01:01] <kbrooks> Sitherae, no, that exits the shell.
[01:01] <kbrooks> Sitherae, itr does not pop up anything.
[01:01] <Sitherae> kbrooks: OH.. I see what he wants to know
[01:01] <ShackJack> kbrooks: Sitherae: Yes, I'm looking for the call that pops up the hibernate, restart, etc... dialog in GNOME anyone know?
[01:01] <kbrooks> ShackJack, 1. applets (the kind you add to the panel) are identified by a ID
[01:01] <dead_alive> Hi, How do i install OneStroke 0.8.4 on ubunt ?
[01:02] <sh3l1> jrib, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37845/
[01:02] <Sitherae> Shack: Give me a sec
[01:02] <ShackJack> Sitherae: Thanks - search for prog names like exit, quit, logout, etc... with no luck..
[01:02] <kbrooks> ShackJack, there is no call. it is done from the panel code, i can look up for you if you want ... ?
[01:02] <jrib> sh3l1: ok do 'sudo killall vmnet-natd' and then try 'sudo aptitude purge vmware-player' again
[01:03] <moDumass> nrx, easy peasy lemon sqweezy, thanks
[01:03] <ShackJack> kbrooks: The code must be executing something no? If you can look it up that'd be great... I imagine the quite button in menu does the same then as I get the same result..
[01:03] <kbrooks> ShackJack, it probably isnt, but ill look, h/o
[01:03] <[nrx] > moDumass: np :)
[01:04] <Sitherae> Shack: I could find it.. but when you press shutdown.. its sleeps all other processes. So you cant really search. This is a question for the ubuntu-devs
[01:04] <kbrooks> ShackJack, just a minute please,.

[01:04] <kbrooks> Sitherae, you're wrong.
[01:04] <sh3l1> jrib, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37846/ i don't think it worked
[01:04] <Sitherae> kbrooks: Alright, just giving what I think.
[01:04] <kbrooks> Sitherae, you think wrong
[01:04] <jrib> sh3l1: check with 'apt-cache policy vmware-player'
[01:05] <Sitherae> kbrooks: ...........cocky aren't we?
[01:05] <ShackJack> Sitherae: Thanks, but not pressing shutdown - pressing "Quit" which brings up dialog for shutdown, restart, logout, etc...
[01:05] <moDumass> thanks
[01:05] <moDumass> adios
[01:05] <Sitherae> ShackJack: Ohh I see. Your trying to make a short cut for it?
[01:05] <jonneh> Anyone able to help? :(
[01:05] <kbrooks> Sitherae, when you press the power quit button on the panel, it pops up a dialog. when it pops up the dialog, it dims the screen and freezes input/output from  the windows that you see.
[01:06] <Sitherae> kbrooks: It stops my music also.
[01:06] <ShackJack> Sitherae: No, I want to call from command line - whatever is called when pressing Quit from menu in terminal to troubleshoot why my GNome doesn't accespt input after clicking...
[01:06] <Sitherae> ShackJack: Well im a noob. Idk
[01:06] <sh3l1> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37847/
[01:06] <ShackJack> Sitherae: THanks for tryin' ;)
[01:06] <kbrooks> Sitherae, by freezing input/output, i don't mean literally. i don't mean it blocks a program from reading/writing to a file.
[01:06] <sh3l1> jrib,  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37847/ sorry, i forgot your name
[01:06] <jrib> sh3l1: it's gone then
[01:06] <kbrooks> ShackJack, hang on
[01:06] <sh3l1> jrib, cool, thanks
[01:06] <kbrooks> ShackJack, i can help.
[01:06] <Sitherae> kbrooks: Ahh okay. I was close :D
[01:06] <sh3l1> jrib,  can you tell me how to make install gaim?
[01:07] <ShackJack> kbrooks: That seems to be where mine is getting hung up on - it freezes the input, but never gets around to giving me the dialog ;)
[01:07] <sh3l1> jrib,  it doesn't have a .deb
[01:07] <kbrooks> ShackJack, but i gave you a tip already. i'll use that tip, hang on......
[01:07] <jonneh> why? you want Pidgin!
[01:07] <sh3l1> thats what i ment
[01:07] <Sitherae> JONNEH: PIDGIN IS TEH LEET
[01:07] <jonneh> can you run ./configure?
[01:07] <jonneh> yes it is ^-^
[01:07] <Evanlec> !pidgin
[01:07] <ubotu> pidgin is the new name for Gaim forced by AOL's legal dept. It wasn't released in time for Feisty. Expect it in gutsy. See http://www.pidgin.im/index.php for more info. To install Pidgin please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallPidgin2.0
[01:07] <jonneh> Sitherae: Agreed.
[01:07] <jrib> sh3l1: gaim is in the repositories and it's installed by default in Ubuntu
[01:07] <kbrooks> ShackJack, hang on a min pls
[01:07] <sh3l1> jrib, but i want pidgin, the new version
[01:08] <sh3l1> jrib, i accidentally said gaim
[01:08] <jonneh> sh311
[01:08] <jonneh> I can help
[01:08] <jrib> !pidgin > sh3l1 (read the private message from ubotu)
[01:08] <thinman1189> I'm trying to uninstall clamav and vmware because when I tried to install I got a lot of errors. when I go to unintsall it says "unable to get exclusive lock" but I'm not running another package management app. I tried restarting X but it didn't help.
[01:08] <sh3l1> jrib, but can't i install it manually?
[01:08] <salah> Hello. I have a AMD Turion 64-bit processor, should I reinstall my computer with Ubuntu AMD64?
[01:08] <LjL> !adept crash fix
[01:08] <ubotu> If Adept crashed on you and your database is locked, try this in konsole:  sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a 
[01:08] <oriez> I bought a racehorse.
[01:08] <oriez> I named it "My face",
[01:08] <oriez> just so when I went to the racetrack,
[01:08] <oriez> I can hear all the women say
[01:09] <sh3l1> jrib, with the tar.bz2
[01:09] <oriez> "Come On My Face!"
[01:09] <jonneh> On a side note, I have X running my dual ATI monitors, but it will not extend my desktop only mirror. The extend works on the login screen but not the desktop. Can anyone help?
[01:09] <ivan_> !fglrx

[01:09] <jrib> sh3l1: yes, ubotu sent you instructions
[01:09] <sh3l1> jrib, oh, sorry, i didn't see that
[01:10] <LjL> well it's understandable, it's only been called twice
[01:10] <jonneh> :O
[01:11] <kbrooks> ShackJack, some very small explanation required. the gnome panel is in a seperate program.
[01:11] <jrib> what says the user's name/
[01:11] <psyion> hello everyone, is there any1 here who can help e install and setup wine?
[01:12] <[nrx] > !wine
[01:12] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[01:12] <psyion> thanks
[01:12] <[nrx] > np
[01:12] <jonneh> Ok, I have the ATI restricted drivers installed, but I can't get the desktop to extend instead of mirror. Any help?
[01:12] <kbrooks> ShackJack, okay, i cant find it in the latest gnome source code. i'll try the source code from feisty
[01:13] <Evanlec> jonneh, i believe from the command line "fire-config" or "fire-settings" will open up the ati driver control panel
[01:13] <ShackJack> kbrooks: K - what about looking at the menu-applet... surely it would list the call there? or it the whole logout thing part of gdm?
[01:13] <jrib> salah: no, i386 is better than amd64 because on amd64 you will have difficulty obtaining flash, sun's java plugin and similar things
[01:13] <kfarrell> Hello, Is there a stand alone fserver for linux? I wish to serve some files on a headless server?
[01:13] <Inaudito> Hi. Somebody can help me? I want to install "NetHack: Falcon's Eye" and it tells me that I must install SDL libraries, but I have some problems with the resources, somebody can tell me what libraries I must to install via Synaptic?
[01:14] <Sitherae> So in my comp sci class. We were working with the char command. And my teacher said not to type "char x=7".. And the WHOLE class did it. This is only funny if you know C++
[01:14] <jrib> Inaudito: did installing the "falconseye" package not work?
[01:14] <salah> jrib, any idea when support for amd64 will arrive?
[01:14] <jrib> salah: that is a question you must ask adobe and sun
[01:14] <kbrooks> Sitherae, that's also funny if you know C
[01:14] <Inaudito> jrib: Just "Falconseye"?
[01:14] <jrib> Inaudito: yes
[01:14] <Sitherae> kbrooks: :D
[01:14] <usser> whats 7 in ascii?
[01:15] <jonneh> Evanlec: Thanks, but no luck
[01:15] <orbulon_> hi, is there a way to change size of a ubuntu partition while working with ubuntu?
[01:15] <jrib> Sitherae: please use #ubuntu-offtopic for that sort of stuff
[01:15] <Inaudito> jrib: That will install me the game and the SDL libraries?
[01:15] <Sitherae> usser: It makes an annoying beeping sound
[01:15] <Sitherae> jrib: Kay
[01:15] <jonneh> Does anyone else know the ATI control panel command?
[01:15] <usser> Sitherae: oh ok
[01:15] <jrib> Inaudito: yes, it will install the game and everything you need to run it, that's the great thing about APT
[01:15] <kbrooks> Sitherae, C++ is a subset of C
[01:15] <ShackJack> orbulon_: You have to unmount the partition in question or boot from livecd and you gparted..
[01:15] <Sitherae> kbrooks: I know
[01:15] <Pelo> orbulon_,  you can't rezise a mounted partition , and you need to have /mounted to use ubuntu,   you'll need to use the instal cd to do it
[01:15] <usser> jonneh: amdcccle
[01:15] <kbrooks> Sitherae, ok
[01:16] <jonneh> Still no luck x.x;
[01:16] <orbulon_> oh ok thx for the help =)

[01:19] <Evanlec> [nrx] , can u explain quickly how i do that?
[01:19] <ibob63> Can anyone recommend a distro which is live and just a shell?
[01:19] <Pelo> salah,  google is also a good resource ubuntu is linux , most linux info will work , mind you some stuff you might need to compile,
[01:19] <Evanlec> jonneh, try "fireglcontrol" i know its something like that

[01:20] <Evanlec> jonneh, yeah, np, took me a whie to figure that one out too
[01:20] <jonneh> haha
[01:20] <ShackJack> Evanlec: Add noacpi to end of boot line in /boot/grub/menu.list -- bootline says quite splash, etc...
[01:20] <ibob63> Pelo: I would do this but I have an ati graphics card and the live cd doesn't work.
[01:20] <jonneh> Evanlec: Thanks a bunch, well gotta reboot Xserver
[01:20] <Evanlec> ShackJack, ok thx
[01:20] <TehBrandon> alright, i have a noob question here: how do I make /home/brandon/Desktop/Link to Program Files/Steam able to be cd'd to in console?
[01:20] <ShackJack> Evanlec: Back it up or be careful...
[01:20] <Pelo> ibob63,  sorry I meant the live cd

[01:21] <jrib> TehBrandon: cd "/some/path/with spaces"
[01:21] <suupaabaka> Man... I have an assignment to do and all I can think of is tweaking Ubuntu. There's something very wrong with me.
[01:21] <TehBrandon> i tried that
[01:21] <Inaudito> jrib: It works, thank you very much
[01:21] <dindoun> tehbrandon \espace
[01:21] <ShackJack> Evanlec: GRUB controls where how stuff gets booted... use your imagination ;) THough you can always rescue with live cd
[01:22] <Pelo> salah, both are installed in mine and I haven'T messed with it
[01:22] <dindoun> \space

[01:22] <EvaLuaTe> hello
[01:22] <TJ_> Does anyone know any IRC channels I can check to speak with people who know how to hack/uncap cable modems.
[01:22] <EvaLuaTe> how could i install 'mail' ?
[01:22] <kbrooks> ShackJack, i see the same result in the feisty source for the panel. i think i need to look more harder.
[01:23] <Pelo> salah, not realy,  but It think you can disable them in menu > system > admin > services
[01:23] <ShackJack> kbrooks: Let's nevermind the panel... Is there something for the menu - that has the same quit thing in it...
[01:23] <dead_alive> Hi, anyone knows how to install OneStroke ??
[01:23] <TJ_> Evaluate, what is "mail"? Are you talking about Evolution Mail?
[01:23] <jrib> TehBrandon: cd /some/path/with\ spaces    works too, but there's not reason the last way shouldn't work
[01:23] <Pelo> dead_alive, check in synaptic if it is listed if not google and get a deb package or the source
[01:24] <dead_alive> Tx. Pelo, i have it downloaded
[01:24] <dead_alive> it's not showing in Synaptics
[01:24] <EvaLuaTe> TJ_, dunno, i have read on the net that there should be a 'mail' command i could use in a terminal to send an e-mail
[01:24] <Pelo> dead_alive,  what extension is it ?
[01:24] <dead_alive> wait
[01:24] <EvaLuaTe> but i get: -bash: mail: command not found
[01:24] <krammer> Need help install this jre-6u2-linux-i586.bin.tar.gz
[01:24] <dead_alive> it was a tar ball
[01:24] <jrib> !java > krammer (read the private message from ubotu)
[01:24] <Pelo> krammer, no you don'T  get it from the repos
[01:25] <dead_alive> i extracted it.. and tried  install on terminal
[01:25] <TJ_> No idea evaluate, sorry
[01:25] <EvaLuaTe> ok, thanks :)
[01:25] <Pelo> dead_alive,  is there an install.sh file in the folder ?
[01:25] <dead_alive> there is a INSTALL file  i can't see the extension on it :S
[01:25] <krammer> what should I do?
[01:25] <kbrooks> TJ_, no, and we wont help you out at all as that is illegal
[01:25] <THEHAWKs> can someone help me out with compiz it does not want to enable
[01:25] <Pelo> dead_alive, that means you need to compile it manualy,   the INSTALL file is instructions ,
[01:26] <woody97> hello
[01:26] <THEHAWKs> i installed the newest the NV drivers

[01:27] <FFighter> hey folks, could someone recommend me a good chm reader for linux?
[01:27] <FFighter> I've got lots of documents in chm format on my NTFS partition
[01:27] <krammer> Pelo: Why should I use this package
[01:27] <FFighter> and I'd like to read them without recurring to wine or windows under VMWare
[01:27] <krammer> shouldnt
[01:27] <jrib> FFighter: gnochm, xchm

[01:27] <FFighter> jrib, thanks a lot
[01:28] <Pelo> krammer,  already made for ubuntu
[01:28] <THEHAWKs> ubotu i already installed the drivers
[01:28] <TJ_> kbrooks, also, modifying hardware that I own is not illegal. It may be against my TOS (assuming I was actually going to use it for production anyhow), but it is not illegal.
[01:28] <jrib> THEHAWKs: ubotu is a bot
[01:28] <thinman1189> I'm trying to uninstall Clamtk an it gives me an error message : E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[01:28] <jrib> TJ_, kbrooks: please move the discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:28] <TJ_> If you don't want to help, that's fine. I didn't ask for your help. I asked if you (or anyone here) knew a chanel I could join to get help.
[01:28] <THEHAWKs> oh
[01:28] <FFighter> jrib, what about pdf? Adobe Reader?
[01:28] <kbrooks> TJ_, fine, but we don't know what you are doing this for, and we have absolutely no way to verify that you won't do some contractual violation. end of discussion,
[01:28] <TJ_> No prob jrib, I'm done.
[01:29] <FFighter> jrib, It seems version 8 is finally available for *nix
[01:29] <woody97> can someone e help me with something simple?
[01:29] <usser> thinman1189: so run dpkg --configure -a ))
[01:29] <Evanlec> THEHAWKs, u said u installed the latest "NV" drivers, thats not the same thing
[01:29] <jrib> FFighter: evince is the default one.  There's also xpdf.  And yeah, the adobe one too
[01:29] <TedOnion> woody97:  Just ask and we will help if we can.
[01:29] <thinman1189> usser: wasn't sure if I should since it said to report it.

[01:30] <Evanlec> THEHAWKs, so what happens when u enable them?
[01:30] <FFighter> apt-get is so sweet... btw what is the difference between apt-get and aptitude ?
[01:31] <Evanlec> FFighter, aptitude is for KDE
[01:31] <bruenig> effectively nothing
[01:31] <bruenig> aptitude is not for kde
[01:31] <thinman1189> usser: thanks
[01:31] <THEHAWKs> can i give you a paste bin or my xorg
[01:31] <Evanlec> THEHAWKs, yea sure
[01:31] <THEHAWKs> ok
[01:31] <Evanlec> bruenig, its not?
[01:31] <woody97> I'm trying to write to usr/local/bin, but it will not let me VIAth GUI,
[01:32] <bruenig> Evanlec, no, it's command line
[01:32] <FFighter> Evanlec, oh... but it is CLI based, right?
[01:32] <Evanlec> oh ya, ur right
[01:32] <Evanlec> aptitude is just a terminal based apt frontend
[01:32] <THEHAWKs> http://pastebin.com/m6b88558c

[01:33] <jonneh> Evanlec: I got the ATI control panel to come up but it does not seem to be actually applying the changes, as restarting Xserver a number of times has not changed the problem.
[01:33] <bobbyyu> How can I set up a classpath for my JDK and JRE (/opt/jdk1.6.0_02/bin and /opt/jre1.6.0_2/bin respectively)?

[01:33] <Evanlec> jonneh, isnt there an "apply" button in that control panel?
[01:34] <jonneh> Evanlec: Yes. and it states it applied and I must reset xserver, but the changes don't seem to take effect.
[01:34] <Evanlec> jonneh, hmmm...take a look at your xorg.conf file, then give me a pastebin of it

[01:36] <EvaLuaTe> bruenig: E: Regexp compilation error :)
[01:36] <jonneh> Evanlec: is there a way to message this to you without registering? or what is the register command?

[02:01] <torstehu> meezyfuh: Macromedia was aquired by Adobe, I believe the install instructions for ubuntu lay in the wiki on ubuntu.com

[02:01] <Evanlec> jonneh, actually i would only try that method if ur okay with using the default ati open source driver, if u want to use the binary driver, then u should try and get the contrl panel working, which for now im stumped on

[02:03] <usser> patrlck: i believe its called xorg-dev
[02:03] <tdizzy> lol
[02:04] <LjL> erisco: you could also try "recoverjpeg image.jpg", though it's made for something slightly different
[02:04] <tdizzy> would i have to set the USB headset to be the primary audio device?
[02:04] <TehBrandon> Alright, I have two screens, and I have the nvidia drivers setup to show to seperate x-sessions, is there any way to have them work as one screen (eg. I can drag windows in between)
[02:04] <Jordan_U> patrlck, Bochs is available in the default repositories, why are you compiling from source?
[02:04] <verb3k_> guys where can I download the latest gutsy ISO (not the tribes)?
[02:04] <dead_alive> tdizzy check if you have anything mute(ed) or vol down.. (in the Player and the Ubuntu Volume Control)
[02:04] <LjL> erisco: look also at the file sizes... if they're too small, they're just gone
[02:04] <bruenig> !gibbon
[02:04] <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
[02:04] <patrlck> Jordan_U, I didn't know that, I'll try apt-get
[02:04] <erisco> LjL, they are of the exact same size as when I first saved them
[02:05] <dead_alive> tdizzy yeah.. primary
[02:05] <tdizzy> nope
[02:05] <MatBoy> when you make a directory and own it to user:usergroup, the user can also delete . in this dir... so it will remove the dir... how can I make this be always user:root ?
[02:05] <tdizzy> its fine
[02:05] <tdizzy> how do i set it to be the primary?
[02:05] <dead_alive> tdizzy depends on the Player
[02:05] <patrlck> Jordan_U, you're right, that was quick =P .. thanks :)
[02:05] <dead_alive> tdizzy what player are you using ?
[02:05] <EvaLuaTe> what's the opposite of 'sudo -i' ? to get from root back to normal user ?
[02:05] <LjL> erisco, if it's not stuff you want to keep private, could you send me a sample?
[02:05] <LjL> EvaLuaTe: "exit"
[02:05] <eduardounder> EvaLuaTe: type 'exit'
[02:05] <EvaLuaTe> ohh
[02:05] <EvaLuaTe> yeah, thanks :)
[02:06] <Jordan_U> patrlck, Always check apt first, you'd be  surprised at the wealth of obscure applications in universe :)

[02:06] <LjL> erisco: DCC won't work because of my ISP, send at (PM follows)
[02:06] <nhansen1> oi vey. big problem. ok: so I made a new partition, and restarted, tried loading any of the ubuntu kernels, all saying file not found. Then I went into Partition Manager, mounted the drives, made a new partition and mounted the livecd iso there, changed the grub to make it boot and install. it worked, I was now back in ubuntu. During the installation it messed up, though. now i get grub 22
[02:06] <MatBoy> damn, a person is able to remove his whole dir bu removing . :S
[02:06] <nhansen1> and i cant boot from my USB
[02:06] <nhansen1> and I have no cd rom
[02:06] <patrlck> Jordan_U, yeah I'm actually quite surprised to see it available
[02:06] <nhansen1> so wtf do i do? :|
[02:07] <dead_alive> tdizzy how many sound cards do u have ? if you have more then one then you have to switch around to Primary and secondary to be able to listen to anything..

[02:07] <LjL> erisco: you got it? i sent a /notice
[02:07] <dead_alive> tdizzy i guess the USB headphone has it's own Chipset and thus requires a linux driver
[02:08] <tdizzy> ...
[02:08] <nhansen1> it does, and I try booting from it, but it wont work, just goes to grub error
[02:08] <erisco> LjL, yup
[02:08] <tdizzy> hmm
[02:08] <nhansen1> oh, not me
[02:08] <tdizzy> then why would i be able to hear myself talk?
[02:08] <tdizzy> lol
[02:08] <dead_alive> tdizzy it's not showing up because linux doesn't know what u just plug'ed in u'r USB :)
[02:08] <tdizzy> yeah it does
[02:08] <judgen> is there a way of fooling the website that i have quicktime installed and that it uses another plugin?
[02:08] <tdizzy> its listed as USB Audio

[02:08] <tdizzy> in the sound control

[02:09] <tdizzy> but sound doesnt come out for the music
[02:09] <tdizzy> just talking to myself

[02:09] <ambrose_> aye can u personal message me real quick
[02:09] <tdizzy> how do i change whats the primary audio device?
[02:10] <dead_alive> tdizzy in volume control can u switch to different Audo device ?? and see if anything is mute ?
[02:10] <nhansen1> so whats a person to do when he can't get passed GRUB error 22, has no CD ROM, and can't boot from his USB (which i dont know why it wont)
[02:10] <xyzzy> I'm having problems with Ubuntu reporting my wireless signal erratically. (I think it's a known bug with the driver for the Atheros chipset.) What are my options? I'm using 7.04 and I don't think the problem was in 6.x (but I couldn't get WPA-PSK2 to work there).

[02:14] <LjL> erisco: got it this time
[02:15] <vas> hey i got up today and now my cd drive dosent work, it used to be where I'd put the cd a little in and it would pull in the rest, but now nothing happens, nothing pulls the cd in
[02:15] <dead_alive> !question onestroke
[02:15] <erisco> LjL, yeah your mail provider just sent me an automated message about a 60kB restriction
[02:15] <tdizzy> umm

[02:18] <erisco> LjL, does it look like any hope?
[02:18] <thinman1189> LjL : now I can open the file but it shows as empty, when I know that it exists.
[02:19] <judgen> is there a way to make sites think any media player is windows media player?
[02:19] <erisco> LjL, I think it is a problem with the exif data created by the digital camera I used
[02:19] <LjL> erisco: the data is definitely there, i'm investigating
[02:19] <erisco> LjL, but I was able to manipulate the image fine with adobe elements on windows
[02:19] <tdizzy> can anyone help me so that i can use my USB headset to listen to music?
[02:19] <LjL> thinman1189: it showed the contents before?
[02:19] <louist> hey guys.  Nobody seems to be in the ubuntu-effects room, so I'll go ahead and ask this here:  How do I go about installing compiz fusion?
[02:19] <jonneh> Can anyone help setting up ATI dual display? I have the mirror display working, but Fireglcontrol does not work in changing to a big desktop orientation.
[02:19] <LjL> erisco: well best bet might be to try elements again
[02:20] <erisco> LjL, I don't have that program available to me now :(
[02:20] <ant-> !compiz > louist
[02:20] <thinman1189> LjL : it showed the contents if I went places>file system>var>etc but not if I called from Terminal.

[02:22] <dead_alive> tdizzy TBH try finding linux driver for your USB Audio.. because the in-built seems not to work 100%

[02:23] <wastrel> i have ubuntu
[02:23] <thedrs> hi guys, how do i associate a file type in linux in firefox ?
[02:23] <erisco> LjL, is there a jpeg reader that ignores exif data? jpegtopnm seems to work specifically with exif
[02:24] <thedrs> lets say i was an azureus mag link to be associated with azureus
[02:24] <Falstius> thedrs: associate it in gnome and it will be associated in firefox.
[02:24] <tdizzy> can anyone help me so that i can use my USB headset to listen to music?
[02:24] <LjL> erisco: i don't know, the obvious apt search doesn't give anything. but i'm not so sure it's really an exif problem honestly
[02:24] <winbond> did u read the pclinuxos magazine?  Ubuntu's Hype is Misleading

[02:26] <LjL> thinman1189: no
[02:26] <wastrel> thinman1189:  how did you install them?
[02:26] <winbond> vista is the os that made me stop using vista
[02:26] <erisco> thinman1189, sudo apt-get remove clamav
[02:26] <LjL> thinman1189: you must have mistyped something in the terminal, if it was shown in nautilus
[02:27] <thinman1189> wastrel : just in Add/Remove
[02:27] <wastrel> thinman1189:  so remove them from add/remove :]

[02:28] <gnomefreak> thinman1189: let me guess you are getting errors about post install script failing error code 1 iirc?
[02:28] <erisco> LjL, is there any hope of recovery or should I just forget it?
[02:28] <tdizzy> can anyone help me so that i can use my USB headset to listen to music?
[02:29] <wastrel> thinman1189:  did you already remove part of them with rm?  if so try to reinstall, then uninstall
[02:29] <thedrs> Falstius: i just did help on associate/tion in ubuntu and found nothing... what should i look for
[02:29] <thedrs> (i don't know how to associate in gnome)
[02:30] <klutzierthanmost> thinman1189: Are you using Gnome?
[02:30] <LjL> erisco: problem is, every program i can find uses the same libjpeg, so they're bound to all give the same error
[02:30] <thinman1189> erisco : in terminal it asks if I want to remove clam and says the space it will free up if I do then goes right from Removing clamav ... to Setting up vmware-player (1.0.2-2) ... and then asks if I want to replace vmware files that already exist.
[02:30] <thinman1189> gnomefreak, klutzierthanmost : yes, I am
[02:31] <gnomefreak> thinman1189: yes is a safe bet normally
[02:31] <gnomefreak> to start off with clean files is normally a good idea unless you have settings you dont really want to lose but normally yes to that is good

[02:35] <jetscreamer> it's either/or afaik
[02:36] <thinman1189> louist : beryl is dead, it was merged with compiz to create compiz fusion. I don't see the point in installing both, if it's even possible.
[02:36] <louist> thinman, thanks.  see i get confused very easily with this--how do i change themes then/
[02:36] <thinman1189> jetscreamer: I did that like 3 hours ago :-\
[02:37] <yoda> i was wondering if ubuntu lamp server has a defalut smtp server installed i do not need it for local email more as just a box that can send mail from it to acctually domain email addresses
[02:37] <jetscreamer> thinman1189: so it 'didn't work' or what
[02:37] <jetscreamer> do it again?
[02:38] <jetscreamer> there's another thingy also...
[02:38] <klutzierthanmost> thinman1189: System > Administration > Synaptic package manager Search for ClamAV then reinstall it?
[02:38] <bobonthenet> There is something wrong with my ubuntu booting takes a VERY long time and usb devices won't work all started 2 days ago.
[02:38] <jetscreamer> run dselect --expert. hit the down arrow once, then hit enter a lot. problem solved. (if the packages are available and/or scripts not borked), or eg, basically, DON'T edit sources, DON'T select anything, just go to option 1 (update sources) and JUST HIT ENTER a lot until you exit... you may have to hit y or n somewhere. Also, if you've never run dselect, you may have to use option 0 and choose APT Acquisition.
[02:38] <klutzierthanmost> thinman1189: maybe it will fix what is wrong?
[02:38] <bobonthenet> I don't have a clue what could have caused it or where to start looking anyone got any ideas?
[02:38] <jetscreamer> g'luck, buhbye
[02:39] <thinman1189> jetscreamer , klutzierthanmost : dpkg --configure -a causes terminal to start the vmware questions again. and I can't get into Synaptic Manager, it closes after I close the error message window that says I need to do dpkg --configure -a
[02:39] <louist> can anybody help get me started with compiz fusion?  there's nobody in the ubuntu-effects room and this is all very confusing.  it's installed and running but still confusing

[02:45] <louist> just a bit frustrating sometimes

[02:46] <jpastore> louist it's always a crap shoot as to whether or not your adventure in IRC gets you anywhere...
  So you are running in a virtual Machine?
[02:46] <louist> I just installed compiz fusion and nobody in the ubuntu-effects thing in answering.  anyway, i can't figure out how to get the themes to work in there
[02:46] <louist> or fidn any kind of user's guide
[02:46] <bobonthenet> louist: I've never not been helped but sometimes it takes a while, it is free after all.
[02:47] <bobonthenet> that said can someone help me with my problem?
[02:47] <thinman1189> Not that I know of. I've never turned on VMware since it was installed, because there was a problem during install, which was just yesterday.

[02:48] <jpastore> louist, I haven't tried to get themes working I was just looking for some cube action...I had to install the nvidia driver and just enable desktop effects....also had to set color depth from 16 to 24
[02:48] <bobonthenet> marcus: booting takes a VERY long time and usb devices won't work all started 2 days ago.
[02:48] <marcus> bobonthenet: what are your systems specs like?
[02:48] <wastrel> josh__:  fix that in /etc/iftab
[02:48] <thinman1189> klutzierthanmost: Not that I know of. I've never turned on VMware since it was installed, because there was a problem during install, which was just yesterday.*
[02:48] <jpastore> louist the color depth setting was in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:48] <riotkittie> arrrr.
[02:49] <bobonthenet> marcus: whats the command that lists all that?  I'm going to write it down this time so I don't have to ask again.

[02:49] <jpastore> louist are you running an nvidia card?
[02:49] <marcus> bobonthenet: hold on
[02:49] <marcus> bobonthenet: let me find out
[02:50] <bobonthenet> marcus: np
[02:50] <riddlebox> if I manual compile a module, how do I get it to start that module when I boot?
[02:50] <louist> jpastore, no i'm on nvidia
[02:50] <niuq> how can i write over a ntfs partition?
[02:50] <marcus> bobonthenet: well, i'm not totally sure of what that command is, but, for example, how much RAM do you have?
[02:50] <jpastore> louist, did you install the nvidia driver? I used automatix to insatll it.....very easy
[02:50] <thinman1189> klutzierthanmost: I cannot get into synaptic manager. if I try an error message pops up saying I need to run dpkg --configure -a to fix the problem. when I run that I get a bunch of questions about overwriting vmware files and if I say yes to it all it later says that it didn't work.
[02:50] <marcus> niuq: you can use gparted
[02:51] <jpastore> jpastore, I love automatix...
[02:51] <wastrel> riddlebox:  put it in /etc/modules
[02:51] <niuq> marcus: it's an app?
[02:51] <jpastore> I'm talking to myself...
[02:51] <candy> ksdhf
[02:51] <candy> asdfha'hasd

[02:51] <candy> sdfh
[02:51] <marcus> niuq: no problem
[02:51] <jpastore> louist yea I'm was a little confused...I thought I was just trashed =)
[02:52] <candy> was up lasmes
[02:52] <thinman1189> klutzierthanmost: should I uncheck VMware-player in system>administration>services?
[02:52] <osmosis> I see a  CD-ROM Disk  on my desktop, but my drive is empty. If I put a disk in, it doesnt come up. What gives ?
[02:52] <jpastore> louist not sure how to deal with the ati card hang on sec let me see if I can find something online
[02:52] <klutzierthanmost> thinman1189: Try that... Yes.
[02:53] <pramur> I want to configure my /etc/network/interfaces so I don't need to "sudo ifup eth0=home", and I added "auto eth0" in the beginning of the file. But, it doesn't work.. How should I do?
[02:53] <bobonthenet> marcus: 500 I think
[02:53] <louist> okay. thanks, jpastore
[02:53] <thinman1189> klutzierthanmost: still cannot get into synaptic
[02:53] <marcus> bobonthenet: more likely 512
[02:53] <osmosis> is there a CD-ROM desktop bug in feisty ?
[02:53] <marcus> bobonthenet: since 500 is impossible ;P
[02:53] <bobonthenet> marcus: yup, its been a while since I've been inside this one.
[02:54] <niuq> marcus: ok i've started gparted, now what i am supposed to do?
[02:54] <OrTigaS> hi i installed exe program tru wine. where can see that program that i installed?
[02:54] <jpastore> louist did you try: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=515573&highlight=feisty+compiz+howto+ati  ???
[02:54] <marcus> niuq: what was it you wanted to format it as?
[02:54] <NrohMan> hlo
[02:54] <louist> no. that actually looks good
[02:54] <louist> thanks man!
[02:54] <niuq> marcus: i want to writte over a ntfs partition
[02:55] <marcus> niuq: is the partition mounted?
[02:55] <thinman1189> jpastore : wasn't there recently an article on how automatix can potentially destroy your system?
[02:55] <niuq> marcus: yes it is
[02:55] <jpastore> louist, np I've been spending a lot of time there...and I have a feeling you will too =)
[02:55] <pramur> OrTigaS: try winecfg
[02:55] <marcus> niuq: can you see it in gparted?
[02:55] <louist> haha yeah tell me about it. thanks for the help guys!
[02:55] <niuq> marcus: yes i can
[02:55] <jpastore> thinman1189, I didnt' read it and I've had good success with it so far
[02:55] <OrTigaS> pramur:  i want to know where the program goes? :)

[02:55] <anya> heya all again, i need more help x.x i have installed flash in order to watch stuff on you tube, and it works but i dont get any sound, sound works for everything else though, anyone know how to fix this?
[02:55] <OrTigaS> that i installed
[02:56] <jpastore> thinman1189, if you have a link to that article I would liek to read it since I installed a few hundred megs of stuff through it
[02:56] <marcus> bobonthenet: how old is the computer?
[02:56] <pramur> OrTigaS: I think you can see it by clicking the properties button... I'm using KUbuntu
[02:56] <wastrel> anya:  there's a sound troubleshooting section on the flash page on the wiki
[02:56] <bobonthenet> bout 3 to 4 years
[02:56] <marcus> niuq: so you see the partition you want to format in the list, correct?
[02:56] <bobonthenet> marcus: probably closer to 3
[02:56] <dmz> anyone here use xen w/ubuntu? any suggestions on where i can find the kernel module for netloop? or is it compiled into kernel?
[02:56] <anya> wastrel, thanks, i'll have a look
[02:56] <marcus> bobonthenet: is it at all possible that it is just a hardware slowdown
[02:56] <OrTigaS> i'm using gnome...
[02:56] <niuq> marcus: i am going to format that partition?
[02:57] <OrTigaS> theres no icon in there :)
[02:57] <niuq> marcus: is that really necessary i just want it to make it writable
[02:57] <thinman1189> jpastore : it would take a while to find, it was on digg. I do recall that there was a follow up article stating that it was only destructive in really rare circumstances. I'm sorry but I don't have time to scour digg for it, as I need to resolve these problems so I can do coursework.
[02:57] <marcus> niuq: what is it now?
[02:57] <Zx3rt> if i add a module to the kernel with modprobe will it be loaded automatically on a restart?
[02:57] <bobonthenet> marcus: its possible but it wouldn't just happen all of a sudden would it?  This isn't a gradual slowdown normally I get a very fast boot.  Also none of my usb devices work.
[02:57] <OrTigaS> i want to create shortcut
[02:57] <wastrel> !automatix

[02:58] <niuq> marcus: i cant write over that partition... it's a ntfs partition, i have windows located there
[02:58] <pramur> OrTigaS: Hm.. sorry, but in KDE, you can see it in ~/.wine/drive_c/
[02:58] <jpastore> thinman1189, it's kewl man...I think I'll be ok...running a new dell m90 and everything seems to work out of the box considering dell is behind the os
[02:58] <riddlebox> wastrel, where would I put a command that I wanted to start at boot? like asterisk?
[02:58] <EvaLuaTe> when trying to run: '/etc/init.d/saslauthd start' i get: Permission denied, also i'm root right now, what could be the problem ?
[02:58] <marcus> niuq: so what you want to do is keep the partition so you can still have windows on it but write to it from your ubuntu?
[02:58] <thinman1189> klutzierthanmost: ok, thanks for trying.
[02:58] <OrTigaS> pramur:  yea its shows in KDE, but in gnome is not...
[02:59] <wastrel> riddlebox:  /etc/rc.local should work
[02:59] <niuq> marcus: exactly, that is what i want
[02:59] <marcus> bobonthenet: so its possible that the usb ports have sh*t the proverbial
[02:59] <marcus> bobonthenet: bed
[02:59] <riddlebox> wastrel, thanks ;)
[02:59] <bobonthenet> marcus: I don't think so I get an error, gimme a sec I'm going to plug my mp3 player back in and check it.
[03:00] <chiefinnovator> Hi Everyone!  How would I change the permission on a socket?  Where are they located?
[03:00] <steel_lady> are there viruses for linux? mu comp is behaving very strange way when I open one particular folder!
[03:00] <scyon> - EvaLuaTe, dumb question, but what happens when you try to run your command with sudo?
[03:00] <chiefinnovator> steel_lady, no viruses
[03:00] <gnomefreak> steel_lady: not that effect the file system
[03:00] <jpastore> thinman1189, what was your issue?
[03:00] <wastrel> !virus | steel_lady
[03:00] <ubotu> steel_lady: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21
[03:00] <EvaLuaTe> scyon, i get: command not found
[03:01] <chiefinnovator> Does anyone know how to change the permissions on a socket?
[03:01] <steel_lady> but what could be happening with my folder then?
[03:01] <pramur> !patience

[03:01] <marcus> bobonthenet: ok
[03:01] <gilster> i am having some issues with firefox....it keeps crashing on me all the time. Just shuts down!! any ideas what could cause that?
[03:01] <scam> steel_lady,  look into clamav
[03:01] <rockets> Is there any way to tell mount to create the directory your specifiying to mount in, if it doesnt exist
[03:01] <thinman1189> steel_lady : to my knowledge there are no known linux viruses in the wild, only proof of concept in labs. as well, linux viruses would not corrupt the file system due to built in security measures.
[03:01] <marcus> niuq: hold on, i'm looking into whether that is possible
[03:01] <steel_lady> scam, what is clamav?
[03:01] <niuq> ok
[03:01] <pramur> gilster: Did you just install flashplugin-nonfree or something.?
[03:02] <gnomefreak> steel_lady: its a virus scanner
[03:02] <scyon> that's super :(. what version of ubuntu are you running? (if you're running it).
[03:02] <thinman1189> scam : a corrupted install from clamav and vmware has basically locked me out of synaptic.
[03:02] <gilster> pramur: i may have
[03:02] <gnomefreak> steel_lady: its more for users that run win servers ect ..
[03:02] <bobonthenet> marcus: well of course no error that time go figure.  Is there a diagnostic check I can run that will help.
[03:02] <anya> wastrel, i cant find that page your talking about, sorry
[03:02] <scam> steel_lady,  a virus scanner for linux.. there isnt virus  for linux but you still can scan for them
[03:02] <gilster> pramur: will that do it...
[03:02] <gilster> ?
[03:02] <wastrel> !flash > anya (check your private messages)
[03:02] <bobonthenet> marcus: seems to work with my mp3 player but not my mybook.
[03:02] <marcus> bobonthenet: It's because you were talking to me :P
[03:02] <niuq> marcus: i am pretty sure that's possible, i just can remember the app that you need to accomplish that
[03:02] <marcus> bobonthenet: I don't know of any diagnostic tool
[03:02] <pramur> gilster: sorry, but It works for me. just copy your plugins into /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/
[03:02] <marcus> bobonthenet: google it
[03:03] <niuq> marcus: cant **
[03:03] <marcus> bobonthenet: oh
[03:03] <steel_lady> ok, if it is not the virus, what could cause my system to freeze any time I open one particular folder and only when I open it?
[03:03] <marcus> niuq: yeah, i'm looking for one
[03:03] <jpastore> thinman1189, could you force a reinstall of synaptic from the command line with apt-get ? isn't there a force switch?
[03:03] <chiefinnovator> steel_lady, maybe there are too many files in that folder?
[03:03] <wastrel> steel_lady:  what are you using to open it?  is it a network drive?
[03:03] <scam> steel_lady,  bad sectors on the hard drive.. maybe.. not very sure
[03:03] <alienseer23> I am trying to connect an ipod for the first time, how do I get it to actually automount? do I need to edit my /etc/fstab file?
[03:03] <gilster> pramur: according to synaptic i do not have flashplugin-nonfree installed
[03:03] <gnomefreak> steel_lady: depends what it is doing? is it opening? what do you see when its open what folder is it?
[03:03] <lividity> steel_lady: what's in the folder
[03:03] <chiefinnovator> I have a folder with like 10,000 files and it takes 20 seconds to open it
[03:03] <scam> steel_lady,  but you can apt-get install clamav
[03:04] <pramur> gilster: Hm.. try to type about:plugins in your address bar in firefox
[03:04] <marcus> niuq: check this out : http://www.linux-ntfs.org/
[03:04] <scam> steel_lady,  clamtk is the frontend for it
[03:04] <pramur> gilster: "about:plugins"
[03:04] <gnomefreak> scam: in the state its in that migt be the best suggestion
[03:04] <pramur> gilster: have you read this? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/125131
[03:04] <steel_lady> in that folder there are like 50ish ps files and 2 latex files using them with related files
[03:04] <Draggin> Good evening
[03:04] <thinman1189> jpastore: it's quite a long story. apparently clamav and vmware had a corrupted install. I'm trying to uninstall them, either by doing a correct install and then uninstalling or uninstalling as is. If I try to get into synaptic I am told to run dpkg --configure -a. I am then asked if I would like to overwrite vmware files. after saying yes to all I get an error message for clamav and vmware dependencies. I have tried restarting my compute
[03:04] <gnomefreak> scam: alot of people found bugs with it 1 being outdated 2 cant uninstall it 3 ect..
[03:05] <scam>  then whats a good one?
[03:05] <rafaelsc1> did anyone use debugfs with success?
[03:05] <Draggin> I am brand spanking new to Ubuntu (and linux in general, for that matter) and I need some help... I'm struggling with the installation... Anyone willing to give me advice?
[03:05] <marcus> Draggin: what's up?
[03:05] <steel_lady> I am using nautilus to open the folder. ps files there are not extremly big, it is not a hardware problem because it happens the same weather I open it from external drive or the local disk
[03:06] <niuq> marcus: i'll install ntfs-3g
[03:06] <marcus> niuq: best of luck!
[03:06] <scam> steel_lady,  maybe its just a corrupted file
[03:06] <niuq> marcus: ok thx
[03:06] <jpastore> thinman1189, have you tried the remove option or reinstall option with aptitude?
[03:06] <Draggin> Marcus - I got my disc today and immediately set about trying to install it - first time around, it bombed at the migration settings, then I opted to skip that on the next round, which moved me along, but ten it got stuck at 91% (loading usb-module)
[03:07] <marcus> Draggin: what kind of computer are you on?
[03:07] <Draggin> On the third go, everything else went completely smoothly, but it locked up again on exactly the same point.
[03:07] <steel_lady> scam, how can I discover what is corrupted since i am not even touv
[03:07] <james296> ll doing it...
[03:07] <mnereson> I exported a path, but upon reboot, that variable no longer existed and was therefor not set. how do I persist an export?
[03:07] <gilster> pramur: yes i ran the aboutplugins at address bar. what did you want me to look for?
[03:07] <james296> yeah, its still doing it...
[03:07] <Draggin> Intel P4 2.4Ghz
[03:07] <steel_lady> not even touching files
[03:07] <louist> hey is there a way to defrag in ubuntu?
[03:07] <OrTigaS> hi i tried winecfg and it open but when i add application its add but how can i run the application?
[03:07] <thinman1189> jpastore : yes, I have. for the past 3 hours I've been going in circles.
[03:07] <mnereson> louist: no such thing in ubuntu
[03:07] <steel_lady> scam I am just tring to open the folder
[03:07] <anya> wastrel, i dont have any of the symptons it describes on that troubleshooting page. i'm also running an older version of ubuntu because i dont have access to a newer version atm
[03:07] <chiefinnovator> anyone up for a socket question yet?
[03:07] <louist> mnereson, is fragmentation not an issue with ext3?
[03:07] <mnereson> louist: I mean no such thing in linux. the filesystem is not an issue with ext3
[03:08] <mnereson> errr fragmentation, yeah. is not an issue
[03:08] <louist> mnerson:  that seems strange... why is that?
[03:08] <marcus> Draggin: what was it getting stuck on?
[03:08] <louist> does linux not allow fragmentation to take place?
[03:08] <wastrel> anya:  ok.  hopefully a sound expert shows up for you :] 
[03:08] <mnereson> they way it pages or something like that
[03:08] <Draggin> Marcus, It apparently stopped doing anything on 91% - loading usb-module
[03:09] <louist> mnerson:  fair enough.  yet another reason to go linux
[03:09] <anya> wastrel, who is the sound expert?
[03:09] <wastrel> linux doesn't need defragmenting because it uses different filesystems and allocates disk space
[03:09] <wastrel> differently
[03:09] <wastrel> anya:  dunno :]   crimsun i think is good
[03:09] <mnereson> watrel: how do you "export" the right way? so that it persists to the next bootup?
[03:09] <wastrel> !defrag
[03:09] <wastrel> export what?
[03:09] <steel_lady> scam what can I check and how?
[03:09] <thinman1189> wastrel : however every 30 boots it does go through a diagnostic.
[03:09] <mnereson> VAR=/some/pah
[03:09] <wastrel> yeah
[03:10] <ubotu> defragmentation is not needed for Ext3 and ReiserFS filesystems. They are much more efficient in their allocation of storage units.
[03:10] <pramur> gilster: any of flashplugins installed?
[03:10] <wastrel> mnereson:  put it in ~/.bash_profile
[03:10] <mnereson> ty
[03:10] <gilster> pramur: no
[03:10] <anya> hey, anyone wanna help me out with flash not making any noise? i have ubuntu 5.04 but i cant upgrade for at least a week
[03:10] <gilster> pramur: i just installed non-free
[03:10] <gilster> this second
[03:10] <pramur> gilster: have you read https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/125131 ?
[03:11] <bruenig> anya, not supported
[03:11] <marcus> Draggin: sorry, i've got nothing for that one
[03:11] <marcus> Draggin: have you tried installing in a different mode?
[03:11] <gilster> pramur:checking it out now
[03:11] <marcus> Draggin: perhaps safe graphics mode?
[03:11] <JoCo1> Hey guys having a blankscreen on boot up I pushed alt + ctrl + f1 and logged in but its asking me for a password and I can't enter in anything, any help?
[03:11] <Draggin> Marcus: Different mode? I wouldn't even have the slightest idea about how to start doing that...
[03:11] <pramur> gilster: try to install it and gimme the result.. I just solved this problem last night... :D
[03:12] <marcus> Draggin: There's an option on the install menu
[03:12] <Draggin> Yes? What is it called exactly?
[03:12] <anya> bruenig, i know its not supported >.> still doesent mean there is no fix
[03:12] <mnereson> wastrel: is the file called bash_profile or bash_${username}? and does this file run any command in it at startup?
[03:12] <rafaelsc1> does anybody use debugfs to recover deleted files?
[03:12] <ckin2001> mnereson, .bash_profile
[03:12] <bruenig> anya, well this is the support channel, and if it is not supported, then...well you can figure it out
[03:12] <gilster> pramur: what problem did you have?
[03:12] <OrTigaS> where can i see the wine folder?
[03:12] <anya> bruenig, are the only helpers in this irc channel ubuntu employees?
[03:13] <rafaelsc1> OrTigaS, what do you mean?
[03:13] <bruenig> anya, you can see where as a general principle, it is harmful to support all releases forever
[03:13] <trpr> heh. employees. thats a laugh
[03:13] <rafaelsc1> OrTigaS, ~/.wine?
[03:13] <pramur> gilster: firefox crashed...
[03:13] <marcus> Draggin: I'm not sure of the exact name, but when you boot the install CD it's the second option, i believe
[03:13] <wastrel> mnereson:  ~/.bash_profile  is run for each login, it's not on boot.  it's per-user so if you need the change to be systemwide use /etc/bash.bashrc instead
[03:13] <pramur> gilster: when I open some site that contain flash..
[03:13] <Draggin> Marcus: Another thing - I'm trying to set up a duel-boot Windows/Linux system, are there any little pitfalls I should be aware of?
[03:13] <OrTigaS> in nautilus?
[03:13] <pramur> gilster: I think it's a bug
[03:13] <anya> bruenig, i understand that, i'm not demanding help, i'm just asking for it
[03:13] <jpastore> thinman1189, well if it was me and I ran out of options...I would see if I if i could figure out how to edit the package database and remove the entries for the problem apps and see if you could just try again
[03:13] <ckin2001> Draggin, install windows first
[03:13] <marcus> Draggin: What version of windows is it?
[03:14] <gilster> pramur: i installed flash-plugin nonfree
[03:14] <gilster> we will see how it goes
[03:14] <Draggin> ckin2001, marcus: Windows is installed already - Windows XP Home
[03:14] <Pelo> anya,  I don'T think any of the ppl doing support in this channel are canonical employes, we're all just users like you
[03:14] <thinman1189> jpastore : not sure how to do that
[03:14] <pramur> gilster: what is the version of flashplugin-nonfree that you use?
[03:14] <Textbook> firefox crashes a lot for me
[03:14] <mindrape> ...hrrmm.
[03:14] <marcus> Draggin: http://www.matthewjmiller.net/howtos/dual-boot-linux-and-windows/
[03:14] <Textbook> more than on Windows
[03:14] <jpastore> thinman1189, neither do I give me a minute and let's see if we can figure out how to do something dangerous
[03:14] <anya> pelo, i wasent making an insult, if thats how it looked ^.^;
[03:15] <JoCo1> Can anyone help me I got to a blank screen after the ubntu loading bar came up
[03:15] <Pelo> Textbook, there is an issue with flash for some ppl that seems to cause a lot of crashes in firefox
[03:15] <thinman1189>  jpastore : :-p
[03:15] <Draggin> Thanks, Marcus - I'll have a look and see if something works
[03:15] <gilster> pramur: 9.0.48.0
[03:15] <marcus> Draggin: No problem.  Good luck!
[03:15] <steel_lady> please, anyone has any idea how to discover which file in my folder is corrupted?
[03:15] <Draggin> Thanks :)
[03:15] <aguitel> anyone install the last Ati driver ?
[03:16] <kravlin> anyone know how to get stage6 to work with Ubuntu 64? MediaPlayerConnectivity doesn't work...
[03:16] <pramur> Textbook: and gilster: OK, it means you have already installed it.. now.. try to open speedtest.net or some site that contain flash files...
[03:16] <Pelo> kravlin, what is stage6 ?
[03:16] <kravlin> Pelo: its a video hosting site that hosts videos in Xvid.
[03:17] <gilster> pramur: flash is installed properly.  speetest.net works fine. I think the crashes are something else man. Does not seem flash related happens to me in random pages.
[03:17] <kravlin> Pelo: I'm trying to run it through tvlinks.
[03:17] <JoCo1> kravlin: divx*
[03:17] <Pelo> kravlin, are you using a player in ff to do this ? which one ?
[03:17] <pramur> gilster: so, what kind of condition that makes your FF crashed?
[03:17] <kravlin> JoCol: You're right. sorry.
[03:17] <pramur> gilster: try another site..
[03:17] <gilster> pramur: normally occurs when i go back a page
[03:17] <gilster> regardless of site
[03:17] <kravlin> Pelo: yeah. I've tried VLC, gxine and totem.
[03:18] <aguitel> i have this error when i installing ati driver:(EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/wacom  anyone know about it ?
[03:18] <gilster> just happened now
[03:18] <pramur> gilster: go back a page? always?
[03:18] <gilster> was in gmail. clicked the back page and it closed firefox
[03:18] <Pelo> kravlin,  not as a plugin in ff I take it , well you still hve mplayer to try out
[03:18] <kravlin> Pelo: and its divx not xvid. JoCol just corrected me.
[03:19] <faris> hi
[03:19] <Pelo> kravlin, doesn't matter to me,  I'm just trying to figure out if you are streaming in a stand alone player or using a Firefox plugin
[03:19] <SkySerf> Sweet the amd quadcores are on newegg.
[03:19] <pramur> gilster: what are you using? Kubuntu, ubuntu. or something else?
[03:19] <gilster> pramur: feisty ubuntu
[03:19] <gilster> no KDE for me
[03:19] <kravlin> Pelo: its a plugin that directs the stream to a stand alone player.
[03:19] <z0rz> Ok that's it.. It's final!  I want a solution!  If I press Alt+Left or Alt+Right within screen.. it just says 3D and 3C ... and I wan't it to use alt as a meta key like it should!  What's the solution?
[03:20] <gilster> ok i am able to reproduce the error all the time now
[03:20] <kravlin> Pelo: and switching to Mplayer just killed it off.
[03:20] <gilster> regadless of page...if i keep clicking a back and forward  firefox shuts down
[03:20] <OrTigaS> where can find the wine folder?
[03:20] <pramur> gilster: have you installed "firefox-dbg"?
[03:20] <Pelo> kravlin, ic, I think,  well try giving mplayer a shot it's pretty good,  you might also want to ask the ppl in the various channels for the players you tried
[03:20] <wastrel> meta key?
[03:20] <wastrel> what's that
[03:21] <OrTigaS> uy
[03:21] <gilster> pramur: nope? should i ?
[03:21] <jpastore> thinman1189, I don't mean to sound redundant bu tI jsut found this along the way: sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq
[03:21] <kravlin> Pelo: i was more thinking that its probably because i'm using ubuntu 64 bit because it worked with 32 bit.
[03:21] <wastrel> z0rz: are you using the alt key on the left side and the right side of the space bar?
[03:21] <z0rz> wastrel: Left... but they both have the same problem.
[03:21] <pramur> gilster: Sorry, but AFAIK, it used for debugging, so you could know what kind of error that you have..
[03:22] <Pelo> kravlin,  64 bit has several issues, we generaly tell ppl to use the 32bit versions unless they NEED a 64 bit os
[03:22] <wastrel> z0rz:  but it works outside of screen?
[03:22] <pramur> gilster: anything else that make your FF crashed?
[03:22] <MrStix> what is a good graphical irc client ?
[03:22] <gilster> pramur: ok one sec...ok done
[03:22] <pramur> gilster: beside "go back a page in gmail"
[03:22] <z0rz> wastrel: It just says D and C outside of screen
[03:22] <zeeeee> can anybody please help me with my graphics problem? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3375325
[03:22] <kravlin> Pelo: unfortunately i've been using the 64 bit for somewhere around 4 months now... I don't want to switch for no reason.
[03:22] <gilster> pramur: not only gmail
[03:22] <wastrel> check your keyboard settings :]   i dunno
[03:22] <gilster> any page
[03:22] <thinman1189> jpastore : and what is that going to do?
[03:22] <james296> ok I really need help here, I dunno if anyone was here last time I asked a question which was fairly recently...
[03:22] <Kanuha> pramur, XChat
[03:23] <wastrel> system > administration > keyboard
[03:23] <wastrel> layouts & layout options
[03:23] <pramur> gilster: what kind of page? Can you mention one of them?
[03:23] <Kanuha> MrStix, XChat
[03:23] <MrStix> is there nothing like mirc? :0
[03:23] <MrStix> ok
[03:23] <pramur> Kanuha: sorry, what's wrong with XChat?
[03:23] <Draggin> Marcus - you still around?
[03:23] <MrStix> what about for mp3 and movies? what should i use ?
[03:23] <marcus> is there a way to use an alternet port when connecting with xchat
[03:23] <jpastore> thinman1189, well I forgot to specify the last argument [the package name]  ... basically it says no really...remove it...I don't care what you have to do...just get it out of there...
[03:23] <marcus> ?
[03:23] <marcus> Draggin: yeah, i'm still here
[03:24] <marcus> Draggin: what's up?
[03:24] <jpastore> thinman1189, I found it here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=481608
[03:24] <Pelo> kravlin, check the forum for info on using firefox 32 bit in the 64 bit os,  it might give hyou a clue on how to get the 32 bit libs needed to run the plugin you need
[03:24] <Kanuha> pramur, nothing, I replied to the wrong person
[03:24] <pramur> Kanuha: oh ok
[03:24] <Draggin> I've been reading through that document now... And it got me a bit worried...\
[03:24] <marcus> I'm currently using irssi but i want someone GUI based, but i need to connect to a certain port
[03:24] <gilster> pramur: oh man its not doing it now...i cant really rember just random pages. back button shuts down firefox
[03:24] <jpastore> thinman1189, if you want me to find other more difficult ways I'll keep searching
[03:24] <kravlin> Pelo: i'm running the 32 bit version of Iceweasel..
[03:24] <Draggin> Sounds like my system can get seriously screwed up if things go even slightly wrong...
[03:24] <marcus> Draggin: Oh?  what's the problem?
[03:24] <pramur> gilster: what is your FF's version?
[03:25] <MrStix> what program should i use for mp3 and movies? what should i use ?
[03:25] <gilster> pramur: 2.006
[03:25] <Pelo> kravlin, then try and figure out what the libs that you need are to run that pluggin and get the 32 bit ones  , that's the best I can do for you
[03:25] <thinman1189> jpastore : I'm amd 64, should that matter?
[03:25] <marcus> Draggin: well, it's possible, yes
[03:25] <faris> this is my first time here can i simply ask a question ?
[03:25] <Draggin> Well, Marcus - for one thing - I don't have the Linux rescue CD and after reading that, I don't know if I should try to install Ubuntu yet
[03:25] <jpastore> thinman1189, I don't think so...
[03:25] <jpastore> thinman1189, but I really have n oidea
[03:25] <marcus> faris: what's up?
[03:25] <gilster> pramur: i cannot seem to be able to download the firefox-dbg package. says its corrupt
[03:25] <pramur> gilster: I'm using FF 2.0.0.3...
[03:25] <Pelo> faris,  welcome to the madhouse and that is the way to proceed , just ask and hope
[03:26] <z0rz> wastrel: I see the options there about Alt/Win key behavior .. but whatever I choose, doesn't seem to fix it
[03:26] <atomicfreez1> hello

[03:32] <z0rz> How can I make the system beep come out of my regular speakers and not my pc speakers.. it's soo annoying.. I don't want to turn it off.. I just don't like it coming out of my PC
[03:32] <Pelo> z0rz,  did you check in system > prefs > sounds ?
[03:32] <kitche> z0rz, you don't since it uses the internal speaker inside the case
[03:32] <marcus> z0rz, if you want to just get rid of the system beep, you can use this method : http://www.arsgeek.com/?p=484
[03:33] <PKdoR> I just installed awn and cant run it
[03:33] <Pelo> PKdoR,  check in the awn website for info , this is not a supported app in ubuntu

[03:35] <netham45> !ntfs-3g
[03:35] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[03:35] <dwxreaper> i looked on google and it seems overly complicated, all i want is vnc to always be running
[03:36] <Pelo> netham45,  you can do that in private you know
[03:36] <gilster> pramur: ok one second
[03:36] <atomicfreeze> anyone know of a way to turn the tapping feature off in linux
[03:36] <Mobus> I am having a problem with my video players.  Videos won't play at all on xine, and when I use totem, it will play the audio but not the video.  I can get video if I click the sidebar on and off a few times, but when it does its all green and the colors are all wrong
[03:36] <JoCo1> can some one help i have a blank screen on startup and am confused
[03:36] <Draggin> Marcus?
[03:36] <Pelo> dwxreaper, start it from alt_f2 and then save thesession in sysstem > prefs > session
[03:37] <Mobus> How do I fix it?
[03:37] <atomicfreeze> on the synaptics mouse pad that is
[03:37] <pramur> !tell Mobus about mp3
[03:37] <Pelo> JoCo1,  is ubuntu installed or are you tring to get the live cd going ?
[03:37] <dwxreaper> pelo: huh, i will not be at the machine
[03:37] <JoCo1> aalready installed did a restart and it loded the bar then black
[03:37] <Mobus> it didn't say anything
[03:37] <Mobus> play
[03:37] <Mobus> the audio is working fine
[03:37] <Mobus> its the video that's not working
[03:37] <dwxreaper> pelo: that will add it as a daemon automatically?
[03:37] <Pelo> JoCo1,  what's your video card ?
[03:37] <JoCo1> Pelo: The monitor button turned orange meaning its in standby
[03:38] <Pelo> dwxreaper, it would load it at startup
[03:38] <pramur> Mobus: have you tried mplayer?
[03:38] <pramur> Mobus: or flvplayer
[03:38] <Pelo> JoCo1, what is your videocard ?
[03:38] <alephant> what's the difference between the CD and the DVD?
[03:38] <brad__> I'm using kubuntu. Any idea how I can disable my touchpad on my laptop? I use an external mouse. Would also be nice to be able to enable/disable it on the fly.
[03:38] <Mobus> hmmm no I haven,t but I installed vlc and the same problem happened with vlc that happened with totem
[03:38] <JoCo1> PeI dontknow Ill check right now but I was just installing stuff in ubuntu i dont know what happened
[03:38] <Pelo> alephant, severy gig of packages
[03:38] <netham45> whoa, I just realized that I didn't have to do anything to get my wifi card to work in linux... even set my router.....
[03:39] <JoCo1> Pelo: I just had it up and running bt I guess somthing happened when I restartes
[03:39] <JoCo1> Perestarted*
[03:39] <marcus> brad__, well, i know you could disable it by removing the touchpad section from your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:39] <pramur> Mobus: please type a username whom you talking with...
[03:39] <alephant> Svery is a municipality in the Swiss canton of Vaud, located in the district of Cossonay.
[03:39] <atomicfreeze> ok what is a good cd/dvd burning software for Gnome
[03:39] <alephant> o_O
[03:39] <marcus> I'm not sure how you would go about toggling
[03:39] <pramur> brad__: have you tried "Fn + F7" on your laptop?
[03:39] <Pelo> JoCo1,   boot the recovery mode ( from the bootmenu) type  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  if in doubt pick the vesa driver and for the rest use the default provided ifyou don'T knwo better
[03:39] <alephant> do I need those packages, Pelo? (-:
[03:39] <brad__> I did remove the section from xorg.conf... it still works.
[03:39] <Mobus> oh ok
[03:39] <Pelo> atomicfreeze, gnomebaker
[03:39] <Draggin> Marcus - one last thing (for now...)
[03:40] <jimcooncat> atomicfreeze: gnomebaker does good cd's
[03:40] <marcus> Draggin, yep?
[03:40] <Pelo> alephant, you can all get them online from the repos
[03:40] <JoCo1> PeIo: I just tried that and it still doesnt work
[03:40] <JoCo1> Pelo: press alt + ctrl + f7 after I do that right?
[03:40] <alephant> oh.
[03:40] <Pelo> JoCo1, no restart the comp
[03:40] <Mobus> pramur: So what should I do?
[03:40] <netham45> can a user be in 2 groups?
[03:40] <JoCo1> O ok
[03:40] <Draggin> Would Windows recognise linux as a second operating system and give me the option to boot it without any 'extra' work after installation or is it necessary to go through a whole bunch of file editing to do that?
[03:40] <brad__> pramur: Does do anything I can see, the icon looks like it's meant to toggle the display or something.
[03:41] <XsteelWolf> anyone knows how to configure wireless on knetwork manager?
[03:41] <z0rz> How do you all listen to music?  I'm really attached to iTunes and I just can't seem to enjoy Amarok or Rhythmbox
[03:41] <mikefoo> Im looking to edit a 3GB .sql file, how would I do so?
[03:41] <alephant> Pelo: which do you personally recommend? (:
[03:41] <XsteelWolf> Draggin, grub boot loader will do the job
[03:41] <z0rz> mikefoo: vim 3GB.sql
[03:41] <pramur> brad__: what kind of dist you use?
[03:41] <brad__> I just use vlc player for all media...
[03:41] <marcus> Draggin, what XsteelWolf  said
[03:41] <brad__> pramur: Kubuntu.
[03:41] <pramur> brad__: what version?
[03:41] <z0rz> brad__: That's very tempting and high up on my solutions list
[03:41] <Draggin> Xsteelwolf - sorry, I'm brand new to all this, but I assume that means it will happen automatically, right?
[03:41] <pramur> brad__: Feisty?
[03:41] <brad__> pramur: Yes.
[03:41] <mikefoo> z0rz: no it prompts me saying its over 2GB and wont open.
[03:41] <Pelo> Draggin,  I don'T think windows will recognise linux for a boot menu, and yes there is a proceedure to go through to get grub fixed and all windows to it
[03:42] <XsteelWolf> you will be prompt,by grub boot loader after installation
[03:42] <z0rz> mikefoo: weird
[03:42] <JoCo1> Pelo: pelo your THE MAN! It worked thanks soooo much  [:)
[03:42] <pramur> brad__:  Sorry, I don't know... what do you mean with "icon"?
[03:42] <AussieHatter> can i connect to ip printers from ubuntu ?
[03:42] <alephant> does Mark Shuttleworth idle here? ;o
[03:42] <brad__> pramur: I don't think I said anything about an icon.
[03:42] <Draggin> Hmmm...
[03:42] <XsteelWolf> grub boot loader will automactically detect windows and ask you if you want to install grub boot loader,select yes.
[03:42] <Pelo> alephant,  I get the dvd because I can just leave it in the drive and if I need to install something it is mostly there
[03:42] <jimcooncat> Draggin: Older windows used to do that with a fairly simple tweak, it was easier to dual boot that way for me -- but grub will work well
[03:42] <brad__> pramur: Oh! The picture on my f7 key for what happens when you press function.
[03:43] <Mobus> pramur: OK I'm downloading mplayer now
[03:43] <marcus> AussieHatter, short answer, yes.
[03:43] <Random> hey folks ... i have 2 friends with seperate problems having a problem installing ubuntu ... they keep getting an error: job control turned off, can't access tty ... it seems many people have the issue ... does anyone know what the deal is with this (i.e. will there be a fix)?
[03:43] <netham45> !dvds > Netham45
[03:43] <Draggin> confusion confusion...
[03:43] <pramur> brad__: oh ok. Sorry. So, pressing Fn+F7 doesn't work?
[03:43] <Draggin> I guess I just need to jump in and do it and see what happens...
[03:43] <brad__> pramur: No.
[03:43] <Pelo> alephant, I donT think so
[03:43] <XsteelWolf> Anyone knows how how to configure wireless on Knetwork Manager? After i connect to a network that it appears on the list,no popup for me to keyin wpa-psk key, and it always hang at 28%
[03:43] <AussieHatter> marcus, thx, and what about printers connected to windows boxes ?
[03:43] <Draggin> Hopefully I don't lose any data...
[03:43] <pramur> Mobus: what dist do you have?
[03:43] <gilster> pramur: sorry man. i have to run
[03:43] <z0rz> mikefoo: Post exactly what it says when you try to vim file
[03:43] <Pelo> alephant,  and Bill G doesn'T hang out in ##windows either
[03:43] <jimcooncat> Draggin: did you try out the live cd?
[03:44] <gilster> pramur: thanks for the help brother
[03:44] <alephant> hehe
[03:44] <z0rz> mikefoo: If it's longer then 2 or 3 lines then use pastebin
[03:44] <XsteelWolf> Draggin,don't worry about that,as long as linux is installed,you can always boot back to windows..
[03:44] <z0rz> !pastebin
[03:44] <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)
[03:44] <marcus> AussieHatter, it shouldn't matter.  Printers don't have an operating system.  As long as you've got the ip it should work.
[03:44] <Draggin> jimcooncat, yes - I've been trying to install it from the LiveCD, but can't quite seem to get it
[03:44] <louist> how can i get compiz fusion to start at startup?  Like what's the command I can add to the session startup list?
[03:44] <alephant> #windows isn't official! :p
[03:44] <XsteelWolf> if it doesn't just nano /boot/grub/menu.1st and uncomment all windows related lines
[03:44] <brad__> pramur: None of the other icons look like they toggle the touchpad either... it's really driving me crazy I keep hitting it with my palm by accident.
[03:44] <Pelo> louist, ask in #ubuntu-effects
[03:44] <pramur> gilster: ok..
[03:45] <z0rz> louist: compiz-fusion --replace
[03:45] <jimcooncat> Draggin: live cd will install on 95% of systems, but some need the alternate cd
[03:45] <z0rz> louist: You also probably will want emerald --replace
[03:45] <pramur> brad__: Sorry, I cannot help you.... it looks like mine is fine...
[03:45] <louist> z0rz thanks.  so both?
[03:45] <Draggin> XSteelWolf - I'm afraid I don't quite know what that means... nano /boot/grub/menu... Greek to me...
[03:45] <d1gital> hellp I am using Ion3 and I can't resize the frames...
[03:45] <jimcooncat> 95% a guesstimate on my own experience
[03:45] <z0rz> louist: Add those to the "Sessions" startup in System->Preferences ... and if you have Emerald installed.. then yes.. both
[03:45] <XsteelWolf> nano is a notepad editoer
[03:45] <Pelo> d1gital, more info
[03:45] <louist> z0rz. thank you
[03:45] <XsteelWolf> editor*
[03:45] <Draggin> jimcooncat - I thought the alternative CD and the live disc have essentially been combined in the latest Ubuntu releases?
[03:45] <Mobus> pramur: so I installed mplayer and it said Error opening/initializing the selected video_out device
[03:45] <gilster> pramur: i reinstalled firefox and will edit it as you said.
[03:46] <AussieHatter> marcus, thx
[03:46] <brad__> Hmm. Where would I go to see what drivers are loaded? What hardware is running? I'm really surprised there isn't some central place I can look.
[03:46] <EvaLuaTe> is there a guie on how to set up 'mail' to work on 6.06 server ? because i can't find any
[03:46] <marcus> AussieHatter, no problem
[03:46] <DIguana> Is there any command that will tell me which boot arguments were sent to the kernel of a running system?
[03:46] <gilster> pramur: wiill be back soon
[03:46] <Pelo> EvaLuaTe,  did you check in the forum ?
[03:46] <jimcooncat> Draggin: there's still an alternate cd, though the live cd has a good installer
[03:46] <wastrel> EvaLuaTe:  what sort of mail are you talking?  mail server or client?
[03:46] <EvaLuaTe> Pelo, link please :)

[03:49] <Draggin> jimcooncat - I guess that is the obvious solution, hey?  I guess I just kind of assumed it was referring to USB storage devices, of which I have none connected at this point.  Perhaps I should just try to get rid of all the gadgets first...

[03:49] <EvaLuaTe> wastrel, no, that's how i tested the mail function, from the command line (like: mail -s "subject" shantzoo_man@yahoo.com), but i get an error and the mail won't send
[03:49] <laramie> i cant wait for that, kitche
[03:50] <Mobus> pramur: no gnome, feisty
[03:50] <Pelo> XsteelWolf, try aasking in #kubuntu
[03:50] <pramur> Mobus: and using mplayer doesn't solve the proble?
[03:50] <Mobus> pramur: no
[03:50] <zoneman53> then you will be able to send mail
[03:50] <jimcooncat> Draggin: Easier to get the install done first, then plug in one at a time to see if any are going nuts on you
[03:50] <EvaLuaTe> wastrel, what should i set the relayhost to ?
[03:50] <Draggin> jimcooncat - may I ask you another question - something that got me worried as I read through a little HOWTO just now
[03:50] <pramur> Mobus: what kind of multimedia file that you want to open?
[03:50] <wastrel> EvaLuaTe:  your isp's mailserver :] 
[03:50] <jimcooncat> sure Draggin just ask
[03:51] <Mobus> pramur: divx
[03:51] <anandanbu> where can i download the screenshots of the various distros like The coding studio website
[03:51] <dwxreaper> how do i make my widgets stay at start and vncserver start at boot?
[03:51] <pramur> Mobus: have you read !mp3 ?
[03:51] <EvaLuaTe> wastrel, i didn't get any such info from my ISP :P
[03:51] <pramur> !mp3
[03:51] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[03:51] <Mobus> pramur: yes
[03:51] <zoneman53> Random did you get that??
[03:51] <wastrel> EvaLuaTe:  how do you send email normally from a GUI mail client?
[03:51] <Mobus> pramur: the audio works, the video doesn't
[03:51] <Draggin> jimcooncat, In the advanced settings, there is an option for a boot device, set by default to hd0.  I have two SATA drives in my system, both essentially split in half.  On drive 1, first partition, I have Windows, which I'm assuming is what 'hd0' actually refers to, right?
[03:51] <brad__> !startup
[03:51] <ubotu> To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot
[03:52] <Pelo> anandanbu,  goto www.ubuntu.com  follow the links fo screenshots tehre is a page with a link to a mega site with shots from all themajor ones
[03:52] <pramur> Mobus: are all of *.divx files or only a few of them?
[03:52] <pramur> Mobus: that cannot be open...
[03:52] <dwxreaper> brad: i want these to start before i login, at least the vnc
[03:52] <Random> I did not get "that" ... :-(
[03:52] <EvaLuaTe> wastrel, i just sent emails until now through yahoo or other such services, i don't know what you mean, sorry
[03:52] <Draggin> So, in order for me not to screw up everything, I guess I should change that to hd0,1 which is the second partition, the one that I'm trying to install Linux to, right?
[03:52] <doug__> why is it when i load exail it playes one or two songs then stop for?
[03:52] <Mobus> pramur: all of them
[03:52] <brad__> Ah, that's different... I'm not sure you can.
[03:52] <wastrel> EvaLuaTe:  your isp doesn't provide a mail server for you?
[03:53] <EvaLuaTe> i don't think so, no
[03:53] <atomicfreeze> has anyone installed beryl
[03:53] <Pelo> doug__,  try standard english
[03:53] <pramur> Mobus: if you try to open video in stage6.divx, what kind of error message that you have?
[03:53] <Pelo> atomicfreeze,  the ppl in #beryl do
[03:53] <Mobus> pramur: what is stage6?
[03:53] <doug__> pelo huh?
[03:53] <atomicfreeze> ok thanks
[03:53] <pramur> Mobus: sorry, I meant using firefox
[03:53] <Pelo> doug__,  your question made no sense
[03:53] <zoneman53> atomicfreeze, on feisty?
[03:54] <limp> what is wrong with my command? sudo apt-get php5 --with-gd
[03:54] <Mobus> pramur: how would I use firefox to open them?
[03:54] <pramur> Mobus: go to that site.. because if you have mplayer-plugin installed, so you would can see it
[03:54] <jimcooncat> Draggin: that sounds like you have it correct, but I'm surprised you had to mess with it, but... sometimes a default windows install will be on hd0,1 and hd0,0 is a system rescue paritition. Used to be that way on Dells and Compaqs
[03:54] <Pelo> limp,  sudo apt-get install ....
[03:54] <limp> oh..
[03:54] <Mobus> pramur:what site?
[03:54] <EvaLuaTe> wastrel, should my ISP provide a mail server for me to use the mail function ?
[03:54] <wastrel> limp:  apt-get install <packagename>     and --with-gd  seems to be a configure option :] 
[03:54] <Pelo> limp,  assuming the package names are corect
[03:54] <pramur> Mobus: just type stage6.divx.com in your address bar.. :)
[03:54] <doug__> pelo when i play songs in Exaile player it playes one or two songs then stops how i fix this?
[03:55] <limp> Will i loose my current php5 config ?
[03:55] <Pelo> doug__, no idea
[03:55] <pramur> Mobus: it's the site that contain *.divx file
[03:55] <jimcooncat> Draggin, sorry, reread your post ...
[03:55] <Pelo> doug__, werent, you the one with the corrupt hdd yesterday ?
[03:55] <doug__>  when i play songs in Exaile player it playes one or two songs then stops how i fix this?
[03:55] <anandanbu> Pelo: I can't find any link to screenshots in that website
[03:55] <brad__> Okay, guess I'll ask another then. According to my "mouse settings" there are some more options I can reach, except it says "libusb was found at compile time, but it was not possible to access this mouse." It says to check the manual, but I've got no idea what manual entry to look at. Thoughts?
[03:55] <Draggin> jimcooncat - well that is strange... I can understand that windows would be on the partition I mentioned, since that is how I set it up, but I guess it is strange that Linux didn't see that...
[03:55] <doug__> pelo yes but i reinstalled now its fine
[03:55] <wastrel> EvaLuaTe:  typically the ISP provides an SMTP server, though free ISP's normally don't.
[03:55] <Mobus> pramur: same thing, sound but no picture
[03:56] <Draggin> jimcooncat - yes?
[03:56] <jimcooncat> Draggin, grub wants to install on the MBR on hd0, which is ok. It's not hd0,0.
[03:56] <kameron> from a live cd  i mounted and chrooted to where ubuntu is installed and tried to grub-install /dev/hda, and i got this
[03:56] <Pelo> anandanbu,  google for ubuntu kubuntu suse screenshots  see what sites come up
[03:56] <kameron>  You shouldn't call /sbin/grub-install. Please call /usr/sbin/grub-install instead!    /dev/hda: Not found or not a block device.
[03:56] <kameron> anyone know why?
[03:56] <doug__>  when i play songs in Exaile player it playes one or two songs then stops how i fix this?
[03:56] <Pelo> doug__,  try a exaile channel
[03:56] <anandanbu> Pelo: thanks
[03:56] <esr> Hey, how do I install a locale I don't already have?
[03:56] <Draggin> jimcooncat - really?  Cause this line from the HOWTO scared the crap out of me - Continue in the Ubuntu install process until you get to the part about GRUB. DO NOT INSTALL GRUB in the Master Boot Record (MBR)! If you install GRUB in the MBR, all bets are off...you're on your own.
[03:57] <pramur> kameron: so, what's the problem after you type "/usr/sbin/grub-install" ?
[03:57] <limp>  sudo apt-get install php5 --with gd doesn't work, --with-gd is unknown
[03:57] <kameron> pramur same thing comes up
[03:57] <Mobus> pramur: same thing, sound but no picture
[03:57] <Pelo> brad__,  the libusb one ?
[03:57] <jimcooncat> Draggin, if that worries you then maybe use windows bootloader, or make a grub floppy disk
[03:58] <kameron> pramur, well it still says "not found or not a valid block device" without the previous warning.
[03:58] <z0rz> Where are the settings for System->Prefrences stored?
[03:58] <Draggin> jimcooncat - I have not the slightest idea how to go about doing that :)  I'm brand new - first time I'm ever trying out Linux
[03:58] <Pelo> z0rz,   hidden folders in the /home/user folder  ctrl_h to display
[03:59] <pramur> Mobus: Sorry, but I'm using kmplayer, and it works fine for me.. Have you tried to open it via terminal/console?
[03:59] <doug__>  when i play songs in Exaile player it playes one or two songs then stops how i fix this?
[03:59] <pramur> kameron: sorry, no idea
[03:59] <Pelo> !repeat | doug__
[03:59] <ubotu> doug__: 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
[03:59] <jimcooncat> Draggin, I think I see the howto you're referring to, let me check it out
[03:59] <dwxreaper> how do i start vnc at boot
[03:59] <limp>  sudo apt-get install php5 --with-gd doesn't work, --with-gd is unknown
[03:59] <Draggin> jimcooncat - it's at http://www.matthewjmiller.net/howtos/dual-boot-linux-and-windows/
[03:59] <wastrel> limp:  --with-gd  is a configure option, not an apt-get option
[04:00] <Pelo> dwxreaper,  put it in /etc/init.d/  and make a run level thinjgy for it , dont ask me how
[04:00] <limp> oh, so.. what cmd would I use to add that component to my php5 install?
[04:00] <wastrel> limp looks like there's a php5-gd
[04:00] <wastrel> package
[04:00] <Pelo> limp, how about sudo apt-get install gd
[04:00] <brad__> I keep reading cntl+alt+backspace restarts x.... but it doesn't for me, what's up with that?
[04:00] <dwxreaper> how to you make a run level , i want to have vnc load on boot, and pelo says i need a runlevel
[04:00] <Mobus>  how do I do that?
[04:01] <limp> could'nt find package gd
[04:01] <sh3l1> can anyone assist me in upgrading my video driver (if an update is available) i get crashes when running miro and blender i have a via chipset integrated graphics.
[04:01] <Pelo> brad__,  the alt on the left side of the space bar
[04:01] <Pelo> brad__, you also need to have x actualy started to restart it
[04:01] <jimcooncat> Draggin, yes it's similar to what I was reading. Not bad advice, though you have to get comfortable with the partitioner during the install
[04:01] <Geeunkown> Can anyone help me or direct me to where or on how to set up to use evolution to get gmail ..please
[04:01] <Mobus> pramur:  how do I do that?
[04:02] <sh3l1> Geeunkown, you gotta use pop
[04:02] <makuseru> does anyone have any experiance with morotola phones and linux?
[04:02] <z0rz> Is there a simple command to run to check to see which file has been changed in a directory (including subdirectories)?
[04:02] <sh3l1> Geeunkown, i'll get you the gmail link expaining it
[04:02] <pramur> Mobus: sorry, but it looks like I don't know what error that you have
[04:02] <Pelo> Geeunkown, I can hel you with that ,   go to the gmail site,  check in the help pages for how to use on a pop3,  select the "other"  client info to get the basic,  fill in what you can and then come back for me to tell you the rest
[04:02] <pramur> Mobus: open your gnome terminal
[04:02] <Geeunkown> ok thanks that was my next qestions
[04:02] <brad__> Pelo: I'm pretty sure I do... I mean, I'm in it right now, and I can type cntl alt backspace and nothing happens.
[04:02] <Draggin> jimcooncat - the partitioner included in the Ubuntu setup?  Well, that made all the sense in the world to me... I'm just REALLY scared of overwriting anything and losing my Windows data (not the OS, but my actual data files)
[04:03] <sh3l1> Geeunkown, http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?ctx=%67mail&hl=en&answer=12103
[04:03] <Mobus> pramur:  error opening/initializing the video_out device
[04:03] <jimcooncat> Draggin, that howto does use the windows bootloader as I was explaining before
[04:03] <pramur> Mobus: go to your directory where you save the *.divx file
[04:03] <zoneman53> Geeunknown you have to enable POP from your web mail account
[04:03] <pramur> Mobus: and type "mplayer your_file.divx"
[04:03] <Pelo> brad__, don,t knwo then, unless you remapped one or more of the keys
[04:03] <zoneman53> Long on to Gmail
[04:03] <jimcooncat> Draggin, yes, I've hosed a system or two with manual partitioning -- do not do this drunk
[04:03] <helium-web> hi
[04:03] <Geeunkown> ok thanks will do so now be back..
[04:03] <brad__> Pelo: Unless I'm missing something here... X is the framework in which kdm runs, no?
[04:03] <zoneman53> go to user preferences
[04:03] <Draggin> jimcooncat - Okay - but does it ultimately matter whether you use the Windows bootloader or GRUB (which I'm assuming from all of this is the Linux bootloader?)
[04:04] <sh3l1> Geeunkown, finally, my days of leeching of the irc are done!! i actually helped someone!
[04:04] <zoneman53>  then enable POP
[04:04] <pramur> !justask | helium-web
[04:04] <ubotu> helium-web: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:04] <Pelo> brad__, more or less
[04:04] <zoneman53> The open Evolution
[04:04] <pramur> Mobus: what did it say?
[04:04] <jimcooncat> Draggin, Ubuntu's updates (the kernel ones that is) are easier with grub
[04:04] <Pelo> !enter | zoneman53
[04:04] <ubotu> zoneman53: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[04:04] <Pelo> !who | zoneman53
[04:04] <ubotu> zoneman53: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[04:04] <netham45> what is the name of that space near the clock, the equivallant of Windows'es 'Notification Area'???
[04:05] <Pelo> netham45,  you mean the " notification area" ?
[04:05] <netham45> lol, that is what it is called? :D
[04:05] <Pelo> netham45, pretty sure
[04:05] <jimcooncat> Draggin: you'd probably be better off with a grub floppy or grub usb disk
[04:05] <Draggin> See jimcooncat, I actually intend to gradually move over to Linux completely - the only reason why I want a dual-boot system is for the few programs that I need to use in Windows that do not have Linux ports (and for my games)
[04:05] <netham45> ok
[04:05] <zoneman53> Ok sorry
[04:05] <Gnea> !glx
[04:05] <Ashfire908> where would i put a line to enable a kernel module at startup?
[04:05] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about glx - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[04:06] <Sayed> I've got a Intel Core 2 Duo e6850 @ 3.00GHz - is that 64 bit?
[04:06] <Mobus> pramur wow it worked!
[04:06] <Kr0ntab> Ashfire908, /etc/modules
[04:06] <netham45> Sayed: yes.
[04:06] <Sayed> netham45: Thanks.
[04:06] <jimcooncat> Draggin: if you got a decent machine, then vmware player is nice
[04:06] <netham45> all Core 2 duos are 64 bit
[04:06] <pramur> Mobus: congratulation my friend...:)
[04:06] <Sayed> Also, I want to boot off of a USB hard disk, do I place the ISO in the main directory?
[04:06] <Draggin> jimcooncat - can you direct me to a site that shows me how to do all of this from scratch? It's quite a bit different from an old-school DOS installation and MAJORLY different to a Windows installation
[04:06] <marcus> netham45 -  is that true?
[04:06] <Draggin> jimcooncat - what does vmware player do?  Is it like WINE?
[04:07] <marcus> netham45 -  all core duos are 64 bit?
[04:07] <netham45> all core 2 duos are
[04:07] <netham45> the core duo isn't
[04:07] <Sayed> Draggin: Wine is just a windows emulator.
[04:07] <michaelpo> how do i get options globetrotter 3g card working? i've installed gcom.. then i run the command at terminal: gcom -d /dev/noz0... it seems i'm connected to the 3g... but... how do i get ubuntu to connect through the 3g card? how do i setup at the -> system -> network?
[04:07] <zoneman53> Now I Know ,Wont happen again
[04:07] <marcus> netham45 -  aw, damn.  oh well
[04:07] <jimcooncat> Draggin: no, vmware player runs a complete ubuntu os inside a windows process
[04:07] <sh3l1> anyways, can someone help me upgrade my integrated via drivers? i am having trouble with miro and blender
[04:07] <Pelo> Sayed, you'll need to unpack the iso and make sure it is at the top level
[04:07] <Gnea> blah... 3D apps aren't working and glxinfo segfaults... i checked the forums and google and they all say to install the 3D driver, yet it's already installed.... Xorg.0.log says that it's because of the Composite extension, but there's no Composite extension loaded and nothing in xorg.conf about it.  Why?  And how do I fix it?
[04:07] <Draggin> Ah, okay...
[04:07] <sh3l1> !language | marcus
[04:07] <ubotu> marcus: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[04:07] <Sayed> Pelo: Alright. Does the rest of the top level have to be clear?

[04:08] <sh3l1> Pelo, it's integrated
[04:08] <Ashfire908> Kr0ntab, thanks.
[04:08] <Pelo> sh3l1, still has a model
[04:08] <Kr0ntab> Ashfire908, np.
[04:08] <Gnea> the only thing that seems to have changed is a kernel upgrade last week, but even still it should still work
[04:08] <Draggin> So anyway, jimcooncat... Any links to a complete beginners guide to not-screwing-up-your-computer-when-installing-Linux-for-the-first-time?
[04:08] <sh3l1> Pelo, i'll look it up one sec
[04:08] <netham45> how do I get my framerate from glxgears?
[04:08] <Sayed> Draggin: O.o How do you screw up an Ubuntu install? :-P
[04:09] <wastrel> i've screwed up many a linux install
[04:09] <jimcooncat> Draggin: I understand your concern, I never install unless I have two computers... let me check for a good method for you
[04:09] <Draggin> Sayed - I've been known to do wonderful things... Like those things that have a little label on them that say 'Unbreakable'... I can break those :D
[04:09] <sh3l1> Pelo, it comes with the k8upgrade from asrock, thats all i know, it doesn't say the model on the box
[04:09] <Sayed> Draggin: Nice
[04:09] <brad__> http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/09/20/disable-touchpad-temporarily-when-typing/   I found this and it sounds all sorts of good but I don't have a touchpad in my xorg.conf to add the SHMConfig line to... :(
[04:09] <Draggin> hehe
[04:10] <sh3l1> i saw something about openchrome.org, but the link for ubuntu was down
[04:10] <Pelo> sh3l1, try looking it up in this link , there are also info https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[04:10] <Pelo> sh3l1, I'm afraid that's all I can do for you, I'M not advanced enough to do it the hardway
[04:10] <mikubuntu> i got a netopia 3347w dsl wireless modem at a garage sale.  didn't look too close at it for a dollar.  anyways, now i notice the inport on the netopia is not the same shape as ethernet cable; so anyways, is there an ethernet to dsl adapter so that i can attach this router to my cable modem ethernet outport?
[04:11] <sh3l1> Pelo, thanks
[04:11] <astro76> brad__, this will help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad

[04:11] <epiclulz> anyone use rdesktop? how do you switch between linux and rdesktop when it's running in fullscreen
[04:11] <Ashfire908> mikubuntu, you pluging it into the right port?
[04:12] <Pelo> epiclulz,  did you try alt_tab ?
[04:12] <epiclulz> pelo, yeah, it uses window's alt-tab
[04:12] <sh3l1> yeah, it isn't listed there so i may have to just go back to windows. i can't do without my blender
[04:12] <sh3l1> pelo

[04:13] <rockets> praet, inside the file
[04:13] <Ashfire908> pramur, should be described in man interfaces
[04:13] <pramur> Ashfire908: I did that, but it doesn't work
[04:13] <Draggin> jimcooncat - thanks, I'll check it out - but I also just found something else which will give me a whole lot of peace-of-mind... How to back up the MBR before beginning installation :)
[04:13] <pramur> Ashfire908: Should I paste it?
[04:13] <windio00> you cant format a 320 GB disk to fat32?
[04:13] <mikubuntu> Ashfire908: don't have the right size cable ends for the twain to meet ... the netopia router is 'dsl' but my connection is cable modem, only has ether out and usb out ... :(

[04:15] <brad__> astro76: Thank you.
[04:15] <BernieMac> windio00, odd...the size of the disk shouldn't matter...
[04:15] <jimcooncat> Draggin: sorry, that was the vmware image for Ubuntu, get started guide at http://www.vmware.com/appliances/deploy/get_started.html
[04:15] <Geeunkown> ok I got the info at google on how to set the pop for email with Evolution but it hangs for incoming mail and I did not see any where that I could put my password in. any help
[04:15] <jimcooncat> Draggin:  but if you make backups of MBR you should be ok
[04:15] <Ashfire908> mikubuntu, what exactly are you trying to do? (btw this is off topic, but i'll help you anyway)
[04:15] <netham45> can someone reccomend me a good DVD player gui
[04:15] <netham45> ?
[04:15] <BernieMac> windio00, why are you using FAT 32? just curious
[04:15] <netham45> oops, bumped enter, sorry.
[04:15] <sh3l1> Geeunkown, you may need to change the port in evolution
[04:16] <Geeunkown> ok how do I do that..
[04:16] <pramur> Ashfire908: Why can't I paste it? It says "u'are spammer blablabla..."
[04:16] <windio00> BernieMac:  wanted a portable usb drive i could use on anything linux mac windoze etc
[04:16] <sh3l1> Geeunkown, i'm not familiar with evolution, but i had this issue with thunderbird
[04:16] <windio00> BernieMac: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314463
[04:16] <Ashfire908> pramur: i know i don't understand it's problem
[04:17] <windio00> BernieMac: that says there is a limitation foe fat32
[04:17] <Geeunkown> ok I am going to check into it now to see where I can change the port..
[04:17] <Ashfire908> what's an alternate to the ubuntu pastebin
[04:18] <pramur> Ashfire908: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37864/
[04:18] <sh3l1> can some of you guys, stop talking on the irc? the internet is a series of tubes, it's not a big truck.
[04:18] <Draggin> jimcooncat - thanks for all the advice - I think I'll go and try it all again, back up the MBR and start all over
[04:18] <windio00> BernieMac:  fat32 is a microsoft thing anyway right?
[04:18] <BernieMac> windio00, it only says the limitation applies while installing xp
[04:18] <brad__> astro76: That also answered my other question, can't retstart x while in the desktop manager, have to log out...
[04:19] <windio00> BernieMac:  oh well i just tried to format a 320gb external hard drive from ntfs to win32 and i got that error
[04:19] <Ashfire908> windio00, BernieMac, fat32 doesn't support permissions. ntfs does.
[04:19] <windio00> BernieMac:  it formatted 99% and then said "this volume is too big for fat32"
[04:20] <Ashfire908> windio00, BernieMac, sorry i was skimming
[04:20] <netham45> fat32 has a 2gb limit, I think.
[04:20] <undauntedspirit> Microsoft artificially limited the maximum size of fat32 partitions.  I don't remember the exact limit.
[04:20] <BernieMac> Ashfire908, no prob, but where does that apply?
[04:20] <BernieMac> netham45, fat 32 has a 4gb FILE limit, not drive limit
[04:20] <undauntedspirit> It's actual limit is well above 4 terrabytes.
[04:21] <windio00> undauntedspirit:  oh so if i tried formatting on linux it should work?
[04:21] <undauntedspirit> windio00:  I believe so.
[04:21] <windio00> undauntedspirit:  is it true that a single file cant go above 4 GB or is that a myth too?
[04:21] <Draggin> Ciao - hope to talk to you all soon from within Ubuntu!\
[04:21] <marginoferror> windio00: That is true.
[04:21] <BernieMac> windio00, yeah, one of my friends just informed me that windows has like a 120gb FAT32 limit, learn somethin new every day
[04:21] <undauntedspirit> windio00: Yup that's true.
[04:21] <Ashfire908> fat16 has the 4 GB limit, not fat32
[04:22] <JoelyWoely> maaaaaarrrcuuuusss
[04:22] <marginoferror> Ashfire908: No, fat32 definitely has a 4GB hard file size limit (actually 4GB - 1 byte)
[04:22] <thinman1189> fat32 has a 2tb limit but because inefficient past 32g.
[04:22] <ubuntu> When I try to mount a fat32 drive, it tells me "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda, missing codepage or other error". Is there anything I can do?
[04:22] <marginoferror> I used to run into it all the time, since I had one drive on fat32 and one on NTFS
[04:22] <thinman1189> but becomes*
[04:22] <Ashfire908> margin, no. it's fat16 with the issue
[04:22] <windio00> undauntedspirit:  so if i plug in my fat32 linux formatted disk on a wondows machine . . . will it be able to read it?
[04:23] <undauntedspirit> windio00:  I'm not sure, sorry.
[04:23] <undauntedspirit> Never tried it.
[04:23] <dv310p3r> I just installed Azureus, when i launch it the splash screen comes up, then closes (as it should) the main window comes up then it closes as well. Any ideas?
[04:23] <BernieMac> Ashfire908, FAT16 has a lower limit I believe, FAT32 has a 4gb file size limit
[04:23] <abc> When I try to mount a fat32 drive, it tells me "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda, missing codepage or other error". Is there anything I can do?
[04:23] <Ashfire908> BernieMac, i've formated a 20gb hard drive, no prob
[04:23] <windio00> undauntedspirit:  well if i keep it ntfs . . . i hope there wont be any issues with erad / write in linux
[04:24] <thinman1189> windio00 : it should. I have drives that are fat32 that I use with my windows drive all the time for storage. I'm not sure if windows will be able to see any of the ubuntu system files but if you're just looking for data then it should.
[04:24] <netham45> root@netham45-desktop:/sda1/Program Files/Steam# echo test > test
[04:24] <BernieMac> Ashfire908, thats not the FILE size limit
[04:24] <netham45> -bash: test: Input/output error      Does anyone know why this happens in /sda1/program files/steam, but not in /sda1 ????
[04:24] <Ashfire908> BernieMac, oh
[04:24] <Ashfire908> sorry lol
[04:24] <windio00> thinman1189:  as big as 320 GB?
[04:24] <undauntedspirit> windio00:  I've had a wonderful experience with reading/writing NTFS so far.
[04:24] <BernieMac> no prob
[04:24] <Ashfire908> i though it was the partiton limit
[04:24] <Ashfire908> lol
[04:24] <marginoferror> ubuntu:  There are a number of things that could be wrong.  Are you sure you are mounting the partition and not the drive?
[04:24] <abc> When I try to mount a fat32 drive, it tells me "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda, missing codepage or other error". Is there anything I can do?
[04:25] <BernieMac> nope, biiiig difference haha
[04:25] <marginoferror> ubuntu:  Tell me a little about what you are trying to do and how
[04:25] <firebird619> I want to set up a TV connected to my video card via S-Video so that it shows the same as what is on my PC monitor. What do I select in nvidia-settings? TwinView, or what?
[04:25] <windio00> undauntedspirit:  i wish i could just format it to xfs and stil be readable on a windoze machien
[04:25] <abc> marginoferror: you're talking to me, right? ( i changed my nick)
[04:25] <thinman1189> windio00 : I have a 500gb external data drive that I formatted to fat32. I don't recall if I did so with ubuntu or windows but it works fine. I'm 90% sure it will work.
[04:25] <undauntedspirit> windio00: That'd be nice!
[04:26] <marginoferror> abc:  Yep, I think so
[04:26] <dv310p3r> I just installed Azureus, when i launch it the splash screen comes up, then closes (as it should) the main window comes up then it closes as well. Any ideas?
[04:26] <windio00> thinman1189:  ok well another 2 hours via usb then :)
[04:26] <abc> marginoferror: the drive I'm trying to mount might have something screwed up in it. But I was hoping that almighty linux could still access.
[04:26] <thinman1189> windio00 : what exactly is it you are trying to do?
[04:26] <Geeunkown> Can anyone help with setting up email with Evolution it trying to get mail from port 20 I know the port for gmail is 995 but how do I change it. I looked in all the preferences and still nothing there. can anyone help
[04:26] <marginoferror> abc:  What exactly are you doing?  Are you typing a "mount" command on the command line?
[04:27] <abc> marginoferror: When I try to mount a fat32 drive, it tells me "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda, missing codepage or other error". Is there anything I can do?
[04:27] <abc> whoops
[04:27] <windio00> thinman1189:  i just got a external usb 2 hard drive for cheap that i want to be able to move about different computer systrems . .. linux windows mac etc
[04:27] <marginoferror> abc:  Again, are you mounting on the command line?
[04:27] <wastrel> Geeunkown:  you need to add ssl
[04:27] <marcus> anyone know how to change user information in xchat?
[04:27] <abc> marginoferror: there it is: "sudo mount -t vfat /dev/hda /media/data"
[04:27] <marginoferror> abc:  Okay, probably your problem is that
[04:28] <Geeunkown> ok ..
[04:28] <marginoferror> abc:  You are mounting the entire disk, but you want to mount a partition of that disk
[04:28] <Nighteye> hey
[04:28] <windio00> thinman1189:  maybe im too old school thinking ntfs isnt as well supported as fat23
[04:28] <marginoferror> abc:  Try replacing "hda" with either "hda1" or "hda5" (try hda1 first)
[04:28] <abc> marginoferror: I don't know how many partitions the disk has
[04:28] <thinman1189> windio00 : the only time I've had a problem with a non linux computer reading something that was formatted to fat32 is a flash drive that I had installed linux on; mac osx freaked out and messed it up.
[04:28] <abc> marginoferror: I ran fdisk -l .. would it show partitions?
[04:28] <marginoferror> abc:  If you think it is more than one, than you'll need to find out.  Just a second.
[04:28] <undauntedspirit> Geeunkown:  I'm just guessing, but doesn't changing to to TLS encryption change the port for you?
[04:29] <marginoferror> abc:  Yes, that will show partitions if there are any
[04:29] <abc> marginoferror: well it only showed one
[04:29] <abc> marginoferror: it's identified as '/dev/sda'
[04:29] <marginoferror> abc:  Then mount that one specifically.  /dev/hda1, presumably.  Trying /dev/hda won't work even if there is only one partition.
[04:30] <abc> actually as 'dev/hda'
[04:30] <marginoferror> abc:  Copy the line from the fdisk -l output - the one that starts with /dev/ - and paste it here.
[04:30] <abc> marginoferror: i think that's wha I was doing "sudo mount -t vfat /dev/hda /media/data -o force"
[04:30] <Jon040404> has anyone in here tried installing Ventrilo on Ubuntu???
[04:31] <jonneh> Does anyone know what line to add to xorg.conf when using Xinerama to give the second monitor a different resolution?
[04:31] <jab> ???
[04:31] <abc> marginoferror: Disk /dev/hda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
[04:31] <abc> 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
[04:31] <abc> Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
[04:31] <abc> Disk /dev/hda doesn't contain a valid partition table
[04:31] <mikubuntu> Ashfire908: don't have the right size cable ends for the twain to meet ... the netopia router is 'dsl' but my connection is cable modem, only has ether out and usb out ... :(
[04:31] <Hacim07> hello, will some please tell me the difference between the nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-new packages?
[04:31] <tatters> Has anyone used UBA (ultimate boot appliance) with feisty?   been trying to install ubuntu through pxe problem is it ask for a mirror and tries to download a file from net but this setup has no internet connection,been looking at the kicker file but can no option to surpess this option
[04:31] <marginoferror> abc:  Ah.  The drive doesn't have a valid partition table - you definitely won't be able to mount it.
[04:31] <netham45> why can't I write to a subdirectory of my NTFS drive, but I can write to the root?
[04:31] <Ashfire908> mikubuntu, and the dsl has?
[04:31] <Nighteye> good
[04:31] <Jon040404> has anyone ever tried installing Ventrilo on Ubuntu?
[04:32] <abc> marginoferror: is that data basically gone forever?
[04:32] <Grant> I have jon
[04:32] <Grant> I wrote a tutorial for installing it in a chroot :)
[04:32] <dv310p3r> I just installed Azureus, when i launch it the splash screen comes up, then closes (as it should) the main window comes up then it closes as well. Any ideas?
[04:32] <marginoferror> abc:  Depends on what happened to the drive, and how valuable the data is to you.
[04:32] <firebird619> I want to set up a TV connected to my video card via S-Video so that it shows the same as what is on my PC monitor. What do I select in nvidia-settings? TwinView, or what?
[04:32] <Ashfire908> mikubuntu, is there a wan?
[04:32] <abc> marginoferror: not very valuable
[04:32] <Jon040404> can you send me that tutorial?
[04:32] <Jon040404> i'm struggling with it
[04:32] <Grant> sure, just a sec.  howtoforge hasn't published it yet
[04:32] <demon_spork> !gtkpod
[04:32] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gtkpod - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[04:32] <sud0> has anyone used a PCTel modem w/ubuntu 7.04 for dial-up?  some info i have found said that it will only work older kernels, but in the hardware profile, the modem shows up ?@!$!#$
[04:32] <marginoferror> abc:  Okay.  Data recovery for problems like this take some expertise and could cost in the low thousands of dollars
[04:32] <demon_spork> !ipod
[04:32] <Grant> anyone know if its possible in apache2 to make a single virtual host with something like "servername = mail.*", so it works for mail._anything_.com?  when I tried it that way it also works for things besides "mail."
[04:32] <ubotu> For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto See !rockbox for information on liberating your iPod
[04:32] <wastrel> dv310p3r:  any errors come up if you lanuch from a terminal ?
[04:32] <Jon040404> i want to install Ventrilo server
[04:32] <marginoferror> abc:  (or much lower depending on the problem)
[04:33] <abc> marginoferror: it's really no problem, it's not even my HDD
[04:33] <dv310p3r> sorry, I dont know how to launch from a terminal
[04:33] <abc> marginoferror: I was just hoping that Linux might be able to do more with it than Windows
[04:33] <marginoferror> abc:  There are certain commercial software products that might be able to TRY to rescue your drive
[04:33] <Hacim07> what's the difference between the nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-new packages?
[04:33] <marginoferror> abc:  Partition Magic is one (Windows only)
[04:33] <atlfalcons866> why dosent ubuntu have the latest software
[04:33] <Grant> Jon: http://www.howtoforge.com/node/2539
[04:33] <dv310p3r> what's the best way
[04:33] <marginoferror> abc:  There are a couple things you can do with Linux.  You can try to create a new partition table just like the old one
[04:34] <marginoferror> abc:  And then try to mount the partition as if nothing happened.  But the chances of that working are pretty slim.
[04:34] <Jon040404> Thanks grant I'll give it a shot!!!
[04:34] <abc> marginoferror: i think a new partition table would kill everythign
[04:34] <wastrel> atlfalcons866:  feisty was released in april, so most of the sw in feisty is at least that old.
[04:34] <wastrel> atlfalcons866:  some things are backported
[04:34] <marginoferror> abc:  As I understand it, theoretically if you create a new partition table exactly like the old one
[04:35] <laramie> what kind of virtual machine software is there?
[04:35] <marginoferror> abc:  The only information that is rewritten will be the partition information.  And it will point to exactly the same place as the old table, so the data will still be there.  But, that will only work if miraculously the only thing wrong with the disk is the partition table.  I can't imagine that would be the case.
[04:35] <ttyS1> hello, how can I save my session so when I restart all of the programs that I left open will start again on the desktops I left them ?
[04:35] <ooboontoo> Anyone will to talk to a private conversation about learning to program?
[04:36] <abc> marginoferror: it's really not so important, thanks for your help, though
[04:36] <marginoferror> abc:  Sorry I couldn't tell you anything better than "give up".  =)
[04:36] <Geeunkown> Ok that did not work any one know how to set up Evolution for gmail ..  I got port but there is no way to change it in the edit preferences any help with this issue..
[04:36] <abc> marginoferror: at least we gave it a good fight!
[04:36] <Wyzard> laramie: VMware works pretty well, though it's non-free...  there's also qemu and VirtualBox
[04:36] <marginoferror> abc:  =)
[04:36] <tatters> eh I used to program in basic with punch n papertape for the life of me I cannot grasp oop so gave up trying years ago
[04:36] <Wyzard> laramie: and Xen, though that's a bit different
[04:37] <ooboontoo> geeunknown did you turn on encryption to SSL?
[04:37] <laramie> vmware...how much does it cost?
[04:37] <ooboontoo> geeunknown for both pop and smtp
[04:37] <tatters> free
[04:37] <user01> is there a wiki for formatting an external hard drive to fat32 in ubuntu?
[04:37] <Wyzard> laramie: VMware Server is free of charge; VMware Workstation is $200 USD
[04:37] <Geeunkown> ok will try that next
[04:37] <atlfalcons866> so fiesty will never be updated with the latest software?
[04:38] <laramie> dang...i need a free one
[04:38] <Wyzard> atlfalcons866: No, it'll be replace by gutsy, a new release with new software
[04:38] <thinman1189> user01 : not that I know of but it was fairly straightforward when I did so. what are you having a problem with?
[04:38] <tatters> yahupdate it to gutsy in few weeks time :)
[04:38] <marginoferror> laramie: There is also a free version of VMware
[04:38] <ooboontoo> Anyone that knows anything about programming willing to talk to me in a private conversation for a bit?
[04:38] <marginoferror> laramie: You are restricted in that you cannot create a virtual machine, but you can download barebones virtual machines and modify them somewhat on your own
[04:38] <wastrel> some software is updated (backported)  but it's not usually the newest of the new.  there's a period of testing before it's released.
[04:38] <Wyzard> laramie: qemu and/or VirtualBox...  both are GPL
[04:39] <marginoferror> laramie: I use it myself.  It is functional.
[04:39] <laramie> hmm...what a decision
[04:39] <wastrel> ooboontoo:  what language?
[04:39] <ooboontoo> c, python, or php
[04:39] <sud0> can anyone help me w/dial-up issue and feisty?
[04:39] <marginoferror> laramie: Oh, but "free" in this case is definitely "free as in beer" and not "free as in speech"
[04:39] <marginoferror> laramie: It's definitely not Ubuntu free
[04:39] <laramie> lol
[04:39] <Wyzard> marginoferror: The funny thing is, if you download the free trial of Workstation, you can't boot VMs with it once your trial key runs out, but you can still *create* VMs with it, and then boot them in Player  ;-)
[04:39] <user01> thinman1189: what to do next after plugging it into my laptop to get it formatted
[04:40] <Ashfire908> sud0: use gnome-ppp or wvdial. i'm just kidding what do you need
[04:40] <wastrel> <3 wvdial
[04:40] <dwxreaper> can someone explain this to me
[04:40] <dwxreaper> http://www.pastebin.ca/702803
[04:40] <marginoferror> Wyzard: That's interesting!  I didn't know that.  You can also theoretically create VMs from scratch using a text editor and some command-line instructions, but I haven't tried it.
[04:40] <thinman1189> user01 : one sec I'll hook up something and see.
[04:40] <Jest3r> You can download VMware server... thats all free.
[04:40] <sud0> ash: couldnt get wvdial to work
[04:40] <decaf> laramie: vmware-server is free (as in beer) and it can do almost everything what vmware-workstation does
[04:40] <dwxreaper> to add vnc to start at boot, i got to /etc/rc3.d/  and then create a symlink and vnc starts at boot?
[04:40] <Wyzard> marginoferror: At that point you might as well just use Server though...  I don't think there's anything Player can do that Server can't
[04:40] <sud0> ash: my modem is detected, i tried ppp too
[04:41] <Ashfire908> sud0 did you run sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
[04:41] <sud0> ash: yes
[04:41] <marginoferror> Wyzard: I haven't tried myself.  I only have one specific use for Player and it actually does the job perfectly.
[04:41] <marginoferror> Wyzard: err, I haven't tried Server myself
[04:41] <Ashfire908> sud0 did you edit the file and insert the user, pass and phone number?
[04:41] <tatters> I run a virtual appliance on my laptop which allows me to connect to any pc that can boot on the lan with pxe and from there I have a menu and 5 different distro to install , ubuntu winxp, gparted and rip linux so far
[04:41] <Jest3r> Player is very light weight, and simple interface
[04:41] <laramie> i will see what i want to do.  i can't do anything like install ubuntu tonight because i gotta use my laptop in full working order tomorrow at work
[04:41] <sud0> ash: its a pctel modem, and ive read there has been problems with them, but then would it even have been detected?
[04:42] <thinman1189> user01 : are you using feisty?
[04:42] <dwxreaper> can someone explain this to me
[04:42] <dwxreaper> http://www.pastebin.ca/702803
[04:42] <dwxreaper> to add vnc to start at boot, i got to /etc/rc3.d/  and then create a symlink and vnc starts at boot?
[04:42] <Wyzard> marginoferror: Server is a lot like Workstation, but without multi-level snapshots, and less graphics performance (since it's client-server)
[04:42] <ooboontoo> Anyone willing to help me learn a little more about programming in general, not a particular language really
[04:42] <sud0> ash: yeah, vim'd the info in
[04:42] <decaf> sud0: a pci modem?
[04:42] <user01> thinman1189: ummm gutsy
[04:42] <Ashfire908> sud0: run wvdial as root?
[04:42] <marginoferror> dwxreaper: Well, I don't know for sure if you want rc3 specifically.  I'm not sure what Ubuntu's default runlevel or the one you're using is.
[04:42] <Wyzard> ooboontoo: That's a pretty broad question so it's hard to formulate an answer...  what is it that you actually want to know?
[04:42] <sud0> decaf: yes
[04:43] <decaf> sud0: I think it's a controllerless modem and won't work with linux
[04:43] <marginoferror> dwxreaper: But the idea is, the OS looks at all of the links in /etc/rc?.d, depending on what mode it's in, and executes them in order.
[04:43] <dwxreaper> margin: i want vnc to to load before i login
[04:43] <sud0> ash: su, then conf? it would make difference?
[04:43] <Ashfire908> sud0: you use sudo. but run wvdial with sudo
[04:43] <marginoferror> dwxreaper: Put the link in the correct runlevel - if you're not sure which, it *probably* wouldn't hurt to simply put it in every runlevel except 1
[04:43] <sud0> decaf: but it will still show up in hardware profile?
[04:43] <marginoferror> dwxreaper: vnc will start automatically and then you can login.  Simple.
[04:43] <ooboontoo> wyzard: I have been searching around on the internet and in book stores but all I can find are books that cover things such as print, tuples etc. I am not sure how I use these effectively
[04:43] <dwxreaper> marginoferror:  this is before i login to gnome, so just when it boots, i want it running like a service / daemon would
[04:44] <jonneh> Does anyone know what line to add to xorg.conf when using Xinerama to give the second monitor a different resolution?
[04:44] <marginoferror> dwxreaper: I haven't tried VNC myself, but that should work just fine.
[04:44] <dwxreaper> margin: what is run level1
[04:44] <thinman1189> user01 : I'm on feisty so I'm not sure if it's different
[04:44] <dv310p3r> I can run Azureus through the terminal, but only like this "sudo azureus", I found this through google, there is a work around they say it can get fixed with "gcj", What's "gcj"
[04:45] <decaf> sud0: yes. it's a cheap modem that the cpu does some of its job, only windows drivers exists. uy yourself a serial modem
[04:45] <crackerbox> after i chroot into my test environment... how can i change from the super user to a normal user 'owner'?
[04:45] <Wyzard> ooboontoo: I doubt someone wrote a whole book on a specific topic like tuples...  that's probably just one of many topics covered in the book you looked at
[04:45] <marginoferror> dwxreaper: If you put in a special command at boot (in the bootloader) you can boot into different runlevels.  The first one is usually single-user mode, an ultra-minimal recovery console
[04:45] <mozzwald> I have a flickering problem with ati x200 video on a laptop. Any suggestions?
[04:45] <user01> surely formatting with fdisk would be the same
[04:45] <Wyzard> ooboontoo: There are lots of introductory programming books available
[04:45] <marginoferror> dwxreaper: The fifth is usually full graphics mode.  The ones in between could be anything depending on the distro, I don't know about Ubuntu.
[04:46] <ooboontoo> wyzard: it covered all the basics but not how to use them to actually make a software program
[04:46] <Hacim07> /leave
[04:46] <marginoferror> dwxreaper: The /etc/rc?.d directories tell the OS what programs should be running in each runlevel.  If you look at the directories and follow the links you can figure out what the runlevels are for.
[04:46] <Geeunkown> ooboontoo: and sh3l1: BIG THANKS To you both it worked now I have email lol...
[04:46] <thinman1189> user01 : it is, sorry I can't help you. good luck though.
[04:46] <marginoferror> dwxreaper: For instance, /etc/rc1.d should have very few links, if I am correct
[04:46] <dwxreaper> marginoferror: ah well i want the normal run level, and i take it what is in etc/rcX starts before i login to gnome
[04:46] <Jon0404040> Grant I'm getting errors when i try to install the 32bit compatibility packages
[04:46] <user01> thinman1189: ok thanks
[04:46] <sud0> decaf: have any idea what the deal is with some of them working with older kernels sometimes?
[04:46] <Wyzard> ooboontoo: Writing a big application isn't something you'd do as a beginner...  start with the basics and write simple stuff initially
[04:47] <ooboontoo> wyzard: I'm not even sure how to do that
[04:47] <marginoferror> dwxreaper: The programs are executed in numerical order.  (also, some of the programs may be run at SHUTDOWN instead of boot; I think the first letter determines which it is)
[04:47] <crackerbox> after i chroot into my test environment... how can i change from the super user to a normal user 'owner'?
[04:47] <ooboontoo> wyzard: its hard to memorize a language just copying out of the book
[04:47] <marginoferror> dwxreaper: But gnome takes a long time to load, relatively, so if you start VNC loading at the very end of the sequence it will still be up pretty fast.
[04:47] <dmakalsky> Hi, what's the default pdf reader for ubuntu?
[04:47] <dwxreaper> marginoferror: cool, that explains things a bit thanks.
[04:47] <marginoferror> dwxreaper: If you really want, you can insert it in the middle by changing the 99.  But if you start it too soon, for instance, networking won't be up and it will fail.
[04:47] <marginoferror> dwxreaper: No problem.  Good luck.
[04:48] <decaf> sud0: linuxant's driver was free for kernel 2.4, but it's for conexant (formerly rockwell) winmodems.
[04:48] <Wyzard> dmakalsky: GNOME's PDF reader is called Evince
[04:48] <dmakalsky> thanks
[04:48] <dmakalsky> how can I get it via the menu system
[04:48] <Wyzard> dmakalsky: (It does PostScript too)
[04:48] <wastrel> it's installed by default
[04:48] <dwxreaper> marginoferror: it's cool, i like linux, a few things i hate but it's cool :P
[04:48] <NemesisD> where can i edit/view environmental variables
[04:48] <Wyzard> dmakalsky: I think it's hidden on the menu by default, but it'll open if you double-click a PDF file
[04:49] <wastrel> it's in apps > graphics > pdf viewer
[04:49] <dmakalsky> thx
[04:49] <Wyzard> ooboontoo: Well, there's more to learning a programming language than just copying examples verbatim
[04:50] <Wyzard> ooboontoo: You should practice by going beyond the examples a bit -- maybe add a feature to the example program, for example
[04:50] <joebob777as7> I made a launcher that says /home/wine/wine "/home/.wine/Internet\ Explorer/IEXPLORER.EXE" and when i use it nothing happens... but i can type in /home/wine/wine /home/.wine/Internet\ Explorer/IEXPLORER.EXE and it works fine
[04:50] <sud0> ash, decaf: thx
[04:50] <marginoferror> dwxreaper: Remote control is one of the things Linux does really well
[04:50] <dmakalsky> Wyzard: I installed crossover office and now pdfs open with win32 acroread... any idea how to reset the default back to evince?
[04:50] <ooboontoo> Wyzard: once I seem to know enough of the beginner books should I just try out a more advanced book?
[04:50] <Wyzard> ooboontoo: many introductory programming books will have suggestions at the end of each chapter for things you should try to write
[04:51] <decaf> ooboontoo: try this one: http://ibiblio.org/obp/thinkCS/python/english2e/html/index.html
[04:51] <Wyzard> ooboontoo: Sure, but learn the basics first, so you can apply your knowledge to solving new problems, rather than just reproducing the examples
[04:51] <Ashfire908> is there something better than powernowd?
[04:51] <youknowme> I was ripping a dvd, when during the first pass transcoding the vid, it didn't "freeze" so to speak so much as it "stopped".
[04:51] <youknowme> Twhat to do?
[04:52] <nomasteryoda> youknowme, did you use k9copy?
[04:52] <youknowme> dvd::rip
[04:52] <nomasteryoda> ah
[04:52] <youknowme> ?
[04:52] <nomasteryoda> beats me... k9copy worked for me and i've not tried anything else on here
[04:52] <youknowme> ohic
[04:52] <ooboontoo> wyzard: decaf: Well, I'm not too sure what I could be making, after knowing the basics, I want to try reading some source code particularly for python but can't find any that are more beginner oriented
[04:53] <marginoferror> joebob777as7: The problem is the Internet\ Explorer
[04:53] <nomasteryoda> ie..ewww
[04:53] <marginoferror> joebob777as7: The \ is an escape character.  It says to the OS, "take the next character literally, not as a delimiter"
[04:53] <freakabcd> hi all
[04:53] <freakabcd> is a usb to serial port cable supported by default?
[04:53] <Nighthawk420> hi
[04:53] <nomasteryoda> howdy freakabcd
[04:53] <marginoferror> joebob777as7: The " ", on the other hand, says, "take all characters inside literally, not as delimiters or markers"
[04:53] <freakabcd> or is there a driver for such things that is readily available?
[04:53] <ooboontoo> wyzard: maybe I just need a break and clear my head for a day or two?
[04:54] <marginoferror> joebob777as7: So, when you type "...Internet\ Explorer..." the OS is looking for a directory called Internet\ Explorer and not Internet Explorer
[04:54] <marginoferror> joebob777as7: Understand?
[04:54] <rettich> does anyone knows, why I can't add a user in the "Users and Groups"
[04:54] <rettich> tool?
[04:54] <rettich> to the group "video"?
[04:54] <freakabcd> i have an (old) Intuos tablet that is serial only and my laptop is usb only. so am contemplating (a) buy a converter cable for $25 and hope it works or (b) sell off the intuos for almost nothing
[04:56] <joebob777as7> marginoferror, you are a flipping genius!!!!!
[04:56] <marginoferror> freakabcd: Linux supports most USB to serial adaptors, but probably not literally all of them.
[04:57] <marginoferror> freakabcd: If I had to take a wild guess, I would say your chances of a random adaptor working would be around 90%.
[04:57] <marginoferror> joebob777as7: =)
[04:57] <youknowme> in dvd::rip how do I select all titles in the TOC? not just the biggest one?
[04:57] <freakabcd> marginoferror, well, i'll be very happy if the damn thing was a hardware converter.
[04:58] <freakabcd> marginoferror, thanks. that was good to know. i'll prolly buy the converter
[04:58] <marginoferror> freakabcd: Well, no matter what, the converter has to send the information through the USB cable in some translated fashion.  That fashion may be pretty universal, or it may not.  USB supports a lot of features that old serial does not, and those have to be faked in some way for a conversion to work.
[04:58] <marginoferror> freakabcd: Buy from a place you can return it to, if you're worried.  Most major retailers will be fine.
[04:59] <arooni> can someone tell me how i can combine the 67GB of free space i have into my existing 20gb or so partition which is /home?  i cant resize via gparted.... i'm guessing cuz the mounted partition (/home) would be affected by the resize?
[05:00] <marginoferror> arooni:  Boot from the Ubuntu installation CD and run gparted from there.
[05:00] <marginoferror> arooni:  If it works like I expect, none of your drives will be mounted, so gparted won't complain.
[05:00] <marginoferror> arooni:  But remember that resizing partitions without losing data is always a slightly risky proposition.  A power failure could easily cost you your drive.
[05:01] <arooni> marginoferror, assuming no power failure should everything work?
[05:01] <arooni> marginoferror, with no errors ; s
[05:01] <mahmoud> anyone can help a newbie to use my TechniSat Skystar 2 card plz ?
[05:01] <marginoferror> arooni:  Depends on the specifics, but if it doesn't work you can usually expect gparted to tell you it won't beforehand.  It is a fairly cautious piece of software.
[05:02] <marginoferror> arooni:  I would feel safe using it on my data.
[05:02] <arooni> marginoferror, would yo umake a backup before you did it?
[05:03] <marginoferror> arooni:  Of my personal documents, yes.  Of things like music or games, no.  That's about the level of caution I would advise.
[05:03] <Tsukasa> hey can someone take a look at my grub's menu.lst and tell me if you see any errors?
[05:03] <Tsukasa> because its not working
[05:03] <arooni> marginoferror, got it; i appreciate your insights
[05:03] <decaf> arooni: please paste your fdisk -l output

[05:08] <neighbors> was thinking of giving ubuntu server a try, does it require X?  I intend to build an xless server
[05:08] <wastrel> neighbors:  does not require x
[05:08] <marginoferror> neighbors: Ubuntu, installed from the special server CD, does not require X.
[05:09] <PPPP> i have a bluetooth usb dongle in place and tried "hcitool dev" to list it.  but i can't see it.  but when i tried lsusb, it shows up.  what should i do?
[05:09] <neighbors> which is the special server CD?  just the one marked server and not desktop?  I'm fetching ubuntu-7.04-server-x86.iso
[05:09] <wastrel> that's the one

[05:10] <neighbors> been using gentoo for years and have had too many headaches maintaining them
[05:10] <verb3k_> guys I wonder if there is an application that is aimed at text conversation in intranets.....if you know one that "just works" please tell me about it ....thanks in advance
[05:10] <Hall2000> can some tell me hoe to set up shoutcast
[05:10] <neighbors> was thinking of going back to debian but figured I'd give ubuntu a try first
[05:10] <verb3k_> "chatting" I should have said
[05:10] <rafaelscj> is there a app that decrypt windows's pwd?
[05:11] <wastrel> ubuntu is like debian but it releases every 6 months :] 
[05:11] <Avulture> Guys, GDI + detection tool used to detect if you have genuie OS or not ?!
[05:11] <wastrel> verb3k_:  you can install a local jabber server
[05:12] <wastrel> what's GDI?
[05:12] <Wyzard> wastrel: and it priorotizes new-and-shiny desktop stuff over absolute stability
[05:12] <neighbors> yeah that's why I switched to gentoo... I wanted current versions of mysql and a few other packages
[05:12] <verb3k_> wastrel, is there a tutorial about it?
[05:12] <wastrel> verb3k_:  i dunno
[05:12] <lekremyelsew> hey everybody, why is it that when i use JACK my output is all fuzzy?

[05:13] <mikubuntu> Ashfire908: sorry, had to run out to pick mom up at aunts ... no wan, just 4 lan ports and a dsl port, but my cablemodem only has ether out and usb out... is there some kind of adapter that you (or anyone) might know of?
[05:14] <lekremyelsew> Hall2000 http://forums.winamp.com/forumdisplay.php?forumid=140
[05:14] <Hall2000> thanks
[05:14] <lekremyelsew> wastrel: its an audio server for managing connections and that sort of thing
[05:14] <wastrel> mikubuntu:  is one of the lan ports an uplink port?
[05:14] <Ashfire908> mikubuntu, dsl has nothing in common with cable. is the "dsl" port a phone jack?
[05:14] <wastrel> ah, i dunno from audio
[05:15] <lekremyelsew> is anyone here good with JACK?

[05:25] <rafaelscj> didn't anyone forget your windows's password? is there a way to decrypt the windows's PWD?
[05:26] <mikubuntu> carlos: can you talk a little english? i will try to help you.
[05:26] <thinman1189> rafaelscj : you can bypass windows passwords using hirens.
[05:26] <tritium> rafaelscj: look at the chntpw package
[05:26] <wastrel> mikubuntu:  that's a RJ-11 jack   (the DSL jack)  you can't use that for WAN, it's just for DSL
[05:27] <mikubuntu> wastrel: so there is no adapting it anyway?  only for dsl connections?
[05:27] <rafaelscj> thinman1189, do you know where can I get hirens?
[05:27] <wastrel> only for dsl
[05:27] <Evanlec> RJ-11 is your standard phone jack
[05:27] <tritium> rafaelscj: the chntpw utility will do what you need
[05:28] <mikubuntu> Evanlec: no, phone jack is smaller than this
[05:28] <Evanlec> mikubuntu, oh, well i know my dsl modem just uses a regular phone jack
[05:28] <wastrel> well the pdf says it's rj11
[05:28] <rafaelscj> tritium, did you use that and did you get? I will try
[05:28] <thinman1189> rafaelscj : hirens cds have a password tool that let you reset the password for a windows machine. you'll have to find a torrent for it, hirens is rather illegal in most places given its potential uses though I hardly see how getting into your own computer is against the law. I don't know any torrents off the top of my head but the usual torrent places should have it. (are we even allowed to talk about it in here?)
[05:28] <tritium> rafaelscj: I have, yes.
[05:28] <jshaffer> "dpkg -C" says that I should reinstall a package. How do I do so?
[05:29] <tritium> thinman1189: don't suggest illegal things here
[05:29] <mikubuntu> wastrel:  and rj11 is standard phone size?
[05:29] <thinman1189> tritium : I don't see how resetting your own password is illegal but I won't argue.
[05:30] <wastrel> yeah that should be the same as the ones in the wall for phone
[05:30] <tritium> thinman1189: I see your point there, but it's the bit about the hirens that's a concern
[05:30] <mikubuntu> wastrel: cuz i have another cable that's larger than phone jack but smaller than ether
[05:30] <Evanlec> RJ-45 is ethernet right?
[05:30] <mikubuntu> and it fits
[05:30] <thinman1189> tritium : agreed.
[05:30] <wastrel> yeah rj45 is ethernet
[05:30] <rafaelscj> thinman1189, I don't know. I used a boot CD too. but it can only reset, not discover. thanks
[05:30] <GNine> rj45 is a cable type
[05:30] <GNine> :-P
[05:30] <Evanlec> DSL should only need a regular old CAT-3 phone cord
[05:31] <wastrel> pedant!
[05:31] <thinman1189> rafaelscj :  well if you just need to get in then resetting would work?
[05:31] <Pirate_Hunter> Deluge crashes straight on startup, I have only managed to use it once and thats when i first install it, now it just crashes on startup, how can i fix this?
[05:32] <Evanlec> GNine, actually RJ-45 refers to the jack, CAT-5 is the cable
[05:32] <pretender_> Can anyone point me to a guide on burning myth recording with mythachieve
[05:32] <GNine> sure..  whatever
[05:32] <Evanlec> ac tually RJ stands for "registered jack"
[05:32] <Evanlec> i just learned that ;p
[05:33] <rafaelscj> thinman1189, yes, but I would like to remember my password. so, chntpw should work
[05:33] <mikubuntu> Evanlec: so why would this router not use the same standard phone jack that you say is typical for dsl?
[05:34] <Matir> has anyone here had a chance to use a Dell 1420N?
[05:34] <rocunreal> Dell 1420N what are the specs?
[05:34] <mikubuntu> Evanlec: could it be just an old standard or something?  only paid a dollar for the modem (confession: dollar EACH for 4)
[05:35] <rocunreal> Specs mean everything
[05:35] <rocunreal> O_O
[05:35] <Evanlec> mikubuntu, it should use a standard phone jack, does a standard phone cord fit?
[05:35] <rocunreal> thats why i build my own computer
[05:35] <rafaelscj> tritium, to use chntpw, i must mount my windows partition... and after?

[05:38] <Evanlec> Geeunkown, what is miro?
[05:38] <Wyzard> thinman1189: from the Wikipedia article on Times New Roman:  "Computers running free and open source operating systems generally have URW's Nimbus Roman No9 L, which is URW's PostScript version of Times Roman, released under the GNU General Public License."
[05:38] <Evanlec> Matir, lol...thats a little more challenging ;p
[05:38] <rocunreal> Matir, lol never ;)
[05:38] <fower> Is there a howto on setting up an email server  ?

[05:39] <Pirate_Hunter> Deluge crashes straight on startup, I have only managed to use it once and thats when i first install it, now it just crashes on startup, how can i fix this?
[05:39] <Matir> rocunreal, yeah, hence the 1420N... I build my own desktops, but notebooks I have to buy off the shelf
[05:39] <Evanlec> speaking of fonts, anyone know a good guide to make fonts look better in Ubuntu using and LCD monitor?
[05:39] <rathel> Hey I got a question about evolution, I added some iCals to it, and I am wondering if you need to open evolution for the calendars to get updated or is it done in the background? It's kind of cool that if you click on the clock it'll show your appointments.
[05:39] <Geeunkown> it was like demoracy tv multimedia player
[05:39] <GNine> As a registered jack, true telephone RJ45 specifies a physical connector, and also the wiring of it. 
[05:40] <wastrel> rathel:  it's done in the background
[05:40] <rocunreal> So how do i register in the Python Channel?
[05:40] <Pirate_Hunter> What is a good program to do html, Css, xhtml coding in ubuntu? if it cna do other languages as well such as C/C++ etc it would be a big bonus
[05:40] <thinman1189> wyzard :  thanks
[05:40] <wastrel> rathel:  as long as evolution data server is running
[05:40] <rocunreal> That looks very confusing that Website
[05:40] <Evanlec> rocunreal, /register <nick> <pass> i think
[05:40] <rathel> wastrel, Good to know. I don't use it for email.
[05:40] <Evanlec> its not very hard at all
[05:40] <zen> wastrel, yeah, I know...but I don't have an ubuntu box handy is the problem.
[05:40] <Scunizi> Pirate_Hunter: Screem, & Amaya
[05:41] <zen> wastrel, I like a lot of the settings in there though, and so I was looking to replicate them here
[05:41] <tritium> rafaelscj: sorry, was away.  Figure it out?
[05:41] <Evanlec> Pirate_Hunter, I would try Screem or BlueFish
[05:41] <rafaelscj> what's the ssh server's port?
[05:41] <mikubuntu> GNine: Evanlec: thanks guys, guess i got a few shelf stuffers for $4 ... lol

[05:42] <rafaelscj> tritium, sorry, do you know a ssh client for windows (opensource)?
[05:42] <netham45> rafaelscj: look up plink
[05:42] <Evanlec> rocunreal, u must register your nickname, meaning you must follow directions from !register ..its not hard
[05:42] <netham45> it is a putty program
[05:42] <Scunizi> Pirate_Hunter: that might be NVU. It's in the repos and is a wysiwyg.  The others are coding programs.

[05:43] <ubotu> Scunizi, Pirate_Hunter: kompozer is a WYSIWYG HTML editor for easily creating web pages, and the continuation of the dead Nvu project.  It will be in the Ubuntu repos for 7.10 ("gutsy"); meanwhile for other versions add the following to your /etc/apt/sources.list:  "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/tonyyarusso/ubuntu {edgy,feisty} universe"  (pick your release and list it without brackets, and no quotes)
[05:43] <jarjarbinks> anyone know if second life is in any repository, or if it will run ok in wine?
[05:43] <Bllz> Hey guys, I know you're supposed to talk about compiz in #ubuntu-effects, but everybody seems to be AFK ... mind if I ask a minor queestion here?
[05:43] <rafaelscj> netham45, okay
[05:43] <wastrel> !nvu
[05:43] <wastrel> ah nvm
[05:43] <Pirate_Hunter> Scunizi: I think it might be that will try it out
[05:43] <zen> wastrel, thanks
[05:44] <steel_lady> where do you turn off the thumbnail making option in nautilus?
[05:44] <Evanlec> tonyyarusso, lol u got ur own repo ;p
[05:44] <Pirate_Hunter> tonyyarusso: oh i see ok than
[05:44] <tonyyarusso> Evanlec: yeah, it's a new Launchpad feature being tested
[05:44] <Evanlec> Bllz, go for it
[05:44] <GNine> Evanlec, check this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8P8C
[05:44] <Pirate_Hunter> tonyyarusso: didnt knwo it was a dead project damn lazy coder l0ol
[05:44] <Scunizi> tonyyarusso: Pirate_Hunter   yep.. that's oriented toward kde isn't it?
[05:44] <GNine> :-P
[05:44] <dn4> whoa I cannot even start up a terminal in ubuntu now
[05:44] <dn4> could this happen if all my space was filled up
[05:44] <tonyyarusso> Pirate_Hunter: he's working towards something totally reworked
[05:44] <Bllz> lol okay. so here goes:  I installed compiz fusion. it works and everything, but I can't get it to give me more than one desktop
[05:44] <Bllz> even if I change it in the settings
[05:44] <tonyyarusso> Scunizi: nope - anything Mozilla apps run on
[05:44] <marx2k> dn4: cant you ALT+CTRL+F1?
[05:45] <Evanlec> GNine, yea i was reading about that, there's some confusion in the terminology ;p
[05:45] <Pirate_Hunter> Scunizi: hmm have no clue im just sticking to gnome tried kde too many options not needed and too fancy for my taste
[05:45] <rocunreal> msg nickserv set hide email on
[05:45] <steel_lady> heloooo I am alive!
[05:45] <Pirate_Hunter> tonyyarusso: ok how it is stable i hate things that get reworked only to end up worse than before etc etc
[05:45] <Scunizi> tonyyarusso: just thought that with the "K" in the front it would need some of the kde libraries. Yep Mozilla runs on everything.. mostly.
[05:45] <GNine> technically speaking:  rj45 is not a cat 5.. but the cable type itself .. like i had said
[05:45] <fester> anyone familiar with ssh and how to modify its config file?
[05:46] <jpastore> how come there's no bash_profile?
[05:46] <Evanlec> Bllz, this guide is great http://forlong.blogage.de/article/2007/8/29/How-to-set-up-Compiz-Fusion
[05:46] <Scunizi> Pirate_Hunter: it will still work in gnome though.
[05:46] <mtv> What is the fastest booting linux distro?  I am looking into making a fileserver with WOL, with minimal services running.
[05:46] <dn4> how do I remove read only files with rm

[05:46] <marx2k> rm -f

[05:46] <Sayed> marx2k: Careful with that command
[05:46] <marx2k> dn4: sudo rm -f
[05:46] <dn4> thanks
[05:46] <Scunizi> dn4 use sudo rm filename
[05:46] <Frogzoo> dn4: why do you want to remove ro files?
[05:46] <marx2k> Sayed: he's wanting to remove readonly files
[05:47] <Evanlec> Bllz, u want to set Horizontal distance to 2 or however many u want, and leave the other values at 1 under general options in ccsm
[05:47] <Sayed> marx2k: Oh, I see.
[05:47] <tonyyarusso> Pirate_Hunter: KompoZer is just bugfixes and improvements on the Nvu codebase, so at least as stable as that.  The eventual long-term solution I don't know, since we haven't seen any releases of it yet.
[05:47] <Pirate_Hunter> Scunizi : thats good to know
[05:47] <dn4> my system is filled up and I need space
[05:47] <Bllz> Evanlec ... that explains that. Thank you!
[05:47] <dn4> marx2k, that did not work :(
[05:47] <Evanlec> tonyyarusso, launchpad is the bug-filing system for ubuntu right?
[05:47] <marx2k> dn4: "sudo rm -f <file>" didnt work?!
[05:47] <Evanlec> bug-tracking
[05:47] <dn4> correct
[05:47] <tonyyarusso> Evanlec: among other things, yes.
[05:47] <wastrel> fester:  what are you trying to do?

[05:48] <Bllz> wait, evalnlec, the cube still doesn't work...
[05:48] <Evanlec> Bllz, the beginning of the guide http://forlong.blogage.de/article/2007/8/29/How-to-set-up-Compiz-Fusion explains how to get cube
[05:48] <rafaelscj> isn't ssh client and sftp the same thing?

[05:49] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sftp - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[05:49] <dibblego> does anyone have any clues about openoffice presentation locking up when I try to run any presentation?
[05:50] <tonyyarusso> Evanlec: It's the Nvu replacement, packaged for edgy and feisty until we can get it in backports.
[05:50] <rafaelscj> but, should I use the same client to do both?
[05:50] <wastrel> why does kompozer look like a kde program?
[05:50] <wastrel> nvu was gtk
[05:50] <thinman1189> xlke : weird, people have been saying that all day. wish I could help you but I'm in the same boat. good luck though.
[05:50] <Evanlec> rafaelscj, ssh stands for secure shell ...thats issuing commands, FTP is only file transfer
[05:50] <Dr_Willis> rafaelscj what are yu trying to do?
[05:50] <Evanlec> tonyyarusso, but what does that have to do with launchpad?
[05:50] <Dr_Willis> i use ssh to get a shell on a remote box.. and sftp to transfer files using a ftp like interface.. or ya can use scp.
[05:50] <tonyyarusso> Evanlec: it's a place to host the package
[05:51] <rafaelscj> I wan't to tranfer files using sftp, isn't it a tunneling?
[05:51] <Bllz> evanlec, is viewport switcher the same thing as viewport mouse switch?
[05:51] <rafaelscj> want*
[05:51] <Dr_Willis> rafaelscj not really.
[05:51] <dibblego> gftp is a graphical application that supports sftp
[05:51] <Evanlec> Bllz, no...
[05:51] <Pirate_Hunter> For those that ahve used Ajunta what is your opinion of it, how user friendly isit?
[05:51] <Dr_Willis> sftp is a ssh transfer tool that 'acts' like the old ftp client did.
[05:51] <Pirate_Hunter> *have
[05:52] <Bllz> evanlec, then i don't seem to have the viewport mouse switch...
[05:52] <Dr_Willis> scp is a ssh tool that has the same artuments/similer to the cp command.
[05:52] <rafaelscj> dibblego, but it's windows (client) > ubuntu (server)
[05:52] <wastrel> sftp does act like an old ftp client.  poor ui and everything
[05:52] <Evanlec> wastrel, kompozer sounds like a kde program from the name, but its not a kde app
[05:52] <dibblego> rafaelscj, use sftp or Core FTP
[05:52] <wastrel> Evanlec:  that's a relief :] 
[05:52] <Evanlec> Bllz, try ctrl+alt+left mouse button drag to use the cube
[05:52] <Evanlec> wastrel, yes i agree ;p
[05:53] <Bllz> evanlec, nothing
[05:53] <rafaelscj> Dr_Willis, thanks I didn't know
[05:53] <Evanlec> Bllz, make sure you have the cube plug-in enabled and also cube rotate plug-in, follow instructions from the link i gave you, and then restart X with ctrl+alt+backspace
[05:54] <Bllz> evanleck, i did all of that...
[05:54] <Bllz> lol kinda confusing. and i definitely don't have the viewport mouse switcher plugin ...
[05:54] <Draggin> hey hey - me again... I need some more help...
[05:54] <Bllz> is there any way i can install it?
[05:54] <Evanlec> Bllz, viewport mouse switcher has nothing to do with it
[05:55] <Pirate_Hunter> im guessing noone cna sya anything good about Anjunta c/c++ compiler hmmm
[05:55] <Bllz> okay. well i'll read that thing a bit more and then come back if I can't get it to work
[05:55] <Pirate_Hunter> *can
[05:55] <rafaelscj> Dr_Willis, so, could I use a ssh client as sftp? sftp is a "feature" of ssh
[05:55] <Draggin> I've actually managed to fully install Ubuntu now (apparently), but I don't have the optino to boot to it - when I reboot, my PC just goes straight to Windows and that's it...
[05:55] <Draggin> How do I change that?
[05:55] <Evanlec> rafaelscj, yes i believe thats correct
[05:55] <Evanlec> !grub | Draggin
[05:55] <ubotu> Draggin: 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
[05:56] <Pirate_Hunter> what is the command to make a backup of sourcelist?
[05:56] <rafaelscj> Evanlec, so I will install PuTTY
[05:56] <Frogzoo> Pirate_Hunter: dpkg --get-selections
[05:56] <Draggin> evanlec, I gathered as much from my discussions here earlier, but I couldn't have lost GRUB - Windows was installed first and I literally just finished installing UBUNTU
[05:57] <Dr_Willis> rafaelscj they are 2 different programs. both using the ssh stuff
[05:57] <Dr_Willis> !ssh
[05:57] <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/
[05:57] <Evanlec> rafaelscj, Putty is a good ssh client for windows...not sure if its the best for ubuntu
[05:57] <Dr_Willis> rafaelscj time to read up on ssh.
[05:57] <Dr_Willis> I use putty and winscp to get to my linux box's
[05:57] <Evanlec> Draggin, you need to take a look at your /boot/grub/menu.lst file
[05:58] <steel_lady> evalenc who needs the client for linux?
[05:58] <Pirate_Hunter> Frogzoo: erhh ok I thought it was something else, just to make sure I want to add a repro to my source list in /etc/apt/sourcelist so are you sure thats it?
[05:58] <Draggin> Evanlec - what do I look for in there?
[05:58] <Evanlec> steel_lady, actually yea, good point, u dont even need another app to do SSH on linux, ya?
[05:58] <rafaelscj> Dr_Willis, I am installing then
[05:58] <Bllz> Evanlec, all good now... just had to restart X!  Duh! lol
[05:58] <Evanlec> Draggin, paste it to pastebin !pastebin
[05:58] <Bllz> do you know how i can get the fishtank plugin?
[05:58] <Bllz> and thanks, btw!
[05:58] <Evanlec> Bllz, glad to hear :)
[05:59] <Bllz> that site is grat
[05:59] <Bllz> *great
[05:59] <steel_lady> rafaelscj, did you try gftp?
[05:59] <Evanlec> Bllz, yes it is a good site, fishtank plugin, im guessing maybe try enabling the water plug-in ?
[05:59] <Frogzoo> Pirate_Hunter: I'm not sure what your question is
[05:59] <rafaelscj> Dr_Willis, openSSH suports RSA and DSA, right?
[06:00] <rafaelscj> steel_lady, I am looking for a windows app
[06:00] <Evanlec> rafaelscj, use Putty then
[06:00] <Frogzoo> Pirate_Hunter: /etc/apt/sources.list is the list of repos used by apt
[06:01] <Bllz> Evanlec, will do!  I'll let you help other noobs in need! thanks again
[06:01] <SeveredCross> What's the package to install to get Gstreamer to support FLAC or is FLAC ready out of the box?
[06:01] <Evanlec> Bllz, np ;)
[06:01] <Bender1337> i am getting tmobile internet and i need to set up a internet access gateway. can ubuntu do this or do i need something elese?
[06:01] <steel_lady> rafaelscj, why do you look for it on ubuntu channel? anyway, there is a good program for win and I was using itt regularly but now m mind stopped
[06:02] <marx2k> !minidisc
[06:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about minidisc - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[06:02] <Pirate_Hunter> Frogzoo: yeah i know I want to make a backup of it but dont know the command line to do so in terminal
[06:02] <donferna> rafaelscj, winscp
[06:02] <Bllz> Evanlec, I lied.  One last question.  Compiz/Emerald will quit on me for seemingly no reason and I have to restart them both via compiz --replace and emerald --replace, respectively.  Do you know what's up with that?
[06:02] <rafaelscj> steel_lady, because i want to conect to my ubuntu ssh's server
[06:03] <Draggin> Evanlec - hang on - there is some information here which seems to be conflicting and is confusing me a bit... The URL that you gave me shows you how to overwrite the Windows bootloader in the MBR, yet the original HOWTO that I saw online had the folowing quote:  DO NOT INSTALL GRUB in the Master Boot Record (MBR)! If you install GRUB in the MBR, all bets are off...you're on your own.
[06:03] <Sayed> Bllz: Run emerald in a terminal, show us the error
[06:03] <orbisvicis> !pastebin
[06:03] <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)
[06:03] <Bllz> okay. i'll hit you guys back when it crashes
[06:04] <Evanlec> Bllz, im not exactly sure
[06:04] <CyberMad> does apt-get install is unavailable?
[06:04] <Evanlec> Draggin, installing GRUB in the MBR is the only way you can do a dual-boot
[06:04] <steel_lady> rafaelscj I would go and look for it but my ubuntu freezes because it is trying to make thumbnails of 100 ps images in one folder and I can not move in my system only chat
[06:04] <rafaelscj> PuTTY is showing "login as: " but I can type nothing
[06:04] <Sayed> Evanlec: Lilo can do it also...
[06:04] <Draggin> Evanlec - any advice or explanation on that?
[06:04] <Evanlec> Draggin, u using windows XP or Vista?
[06:05] <gunthr> rafaelscj, Putty is what I use on my windows boxes and it seems to work fine.
[06:05] <Bllz> sayad, it seems to happen when i switch back from expo
[06:05] <Draggin> XP, Evanlex
[06:05] <Draggin> Evanlec even
[06:05] <Bllz> i'll post the error in a sec
[06:05] <Evanlec> Sayed, well yes, there are other ways, but for this purpose, GRUB will be easiest
[06:05] <Sayed> Bllz: Can we get an error?
[06:05] <Bender1337> i am getting t mobile internet and i need to set up a internet access gateway. can Ubuntu do this or do i need something else?
[06:05] <Ashfire908> is there a shortcut to switch between workspaces?
[06:05] <Sayed> Evanlec: I reccomend you advise him to install Windows first if possible as to over-write the MBR WIth Grub. Chrooting can get messy unexperienced users tryi t.
[06:05] <rafaelscj> gunthr, trying again
[06:05] <wastrel> ctrl alt left & right arrow Ashfire908
[06:05] <Sayed> Ashfire908: What window manager?
[06:06] <Bllz> sayed:  /usr/bin/compiz.real: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/compiz/libexpo.so: undefined symbol: expoGetExpoKey
[06:06] <Ashfire908> Bender1337, you can but i don't know how. tell me if you figure it out
[06:06] <wastrel> Ashfire908:  you can edit those in system > preferences > keyboard shortcuts
[06:06] <Sayed> Bllz: Does Beryl return the same error?
[06:06] <Evanlec> Sayed, i believe he installed windows first and ubuntu second...so he shouldnt have problems with windows hijacking the mbr...
[06:06] <Ashfire908> wastrel, nothing happens
[06:06] <Sayed> Evanlec: Then it's a simple matter of adding two or three lines to grub.conf, no?
[06:06] <Evanlec> Bllz, disable expo plug-in ;)
[06:06] <prohna> is there a command to set terminal size?
[06:06] <rafaelscj> >>>connection refused
[06:06] <Draggin> Sayed - did you see the quote I had up there a moment ago?  That's what's confusing me...
[06:06] <Evanlec> Sayed, yea thats what i would guess
[06:06] <Sayed> Draggin: No, I didn't.
[06:07] <Ashfire908> wastrel, you need shift as well
[06:07] <Sayed> Draggin: Re-post, if possible. Scrolling up is a doozy on this old box i'm on
[06:07] <prohna> say i need 25x77
[06:07] <Draggin> Sayed this is what I posted a few minutes ago: hang on - there is some information here which seems to be conflicting and is confusing me a bit... The URL that you gave me shows you how to overwrite the Windows bootloader in the MBR, yet the original HOWTO that I saw online had the folowing quote:  DO NOT INSTALL GRUB in the Master Boot Record (MBR)! If you install GRUB in the MBR, all bets...
[06:07] <Draggin> ...are off...you're on your own.
[06:07] <prohna> is there a command to type in terminal that sets it to that size?
[06:07] <Bllz> Sayed. I'm not running beryl ... I'm running emerald themer lol sorry if i said beryl before
[06:07] <wastrel> Ashfire908:  not in my gnome :] 
[06:07] <Bllz> but no, it does not
[06:07] <Ashfire908> wastrel, sorry it's "0xea" and "0xe9"
[06:08] <Ashfire908> whatever that is
[06:08] <Evanlec> Draggin, thats nonsense, GRUB is your friend, windows MBR is not your friend because all u can do is boot windows with it...
[06:08] <prohna> whats emerald themer
[06:08] <Sayed> Draggin: Okay, for your purposes I reccomend you install Grub to the MBR simply because Windows installed their bootloader to the MBR. If you install grub to the HD, it won't hold presidense and WIndows will just boot.
[06:08] <wastrel> prohna:  gnome-termina --geometry=100x25
[06:08] <phuzion_> someone recommend me a graphical scp client please
[06:08] <wastrel> er. terminal
[06:08] <Draggin> Cracker... Sayed - that's exactly what I did... Is there any way to fix it without reinstalling?
[06:08] <Sayed> Draggin: Installing to the MBR used to be considered bad practice. He just found an out-dated how-to or something.
[06:08] <prohna> thanks wastrel
[06:08] <Sayed> Draggin: FIx what, exactly?
[06:09] <Draggin> Sayed - the fact that GRUB is not installed to the MBR now, but to hd0,1
[06:09] <gunthr> rafaelscj, check your port number and make sure you've forwarded that port to your server. Also make sure that sshd is running and listening on said port.
[06:09] <mb> is it now safe to WRITE to NTFS using ubuntu? i've read before that it's still experimental
[06:09] <Sayed> Draggin: Of course you can, but i'm new to apt-get. Let me look it up real quick.
[06:09] <Evanlec> Draggin, ooh...u did not install it to primary partition of hd0
[06:09] <prohna> perfect!!!
[06:10] <Bllz> sayed, did you get all of that?
[06:10] <Sayed> mb: I didn't know you could write to ntfs with an ext3 or any variationt hereof.
[06:10] <Draggin> Evanlec, no - that's where my Windows is
[06:10] <Evanlec> mb, with ntfs-3g i think it is 99% safe..
[06:10] <prohna> now whats emerald themer
[06:10] <dn4> weird fsck came up with lots of errors
[06:10] <dn4> I rebooted and it is fixed
[06:10] <prohna> anyone got a url?
[06:10] <Sayed> Bllz: Yeah, i'm not experienced with emerald, try #beryl
[06:10] <Evanlec> Draggin, yes, but that is where GRUB has to go...
[06:10] <Bllz> sayed. okay. thanks for your help!
[06:10] <mb> evanlec.. 99% is not good enough for me, lol :D
[06:10] <rafaelscj> gunthr, now i got. is there an idletime by default?
[06:10] <Draggin> Evanlec, yeah, I kinda get that now, but that damn howto put me off trying to do that...
[06:11] <Evanlec> Draggin, yea, i gotcha
[06:11] <Evanlec> !sgd | Draggin
[06:11] <Draggin> Can I 'move' it though?
[06:11] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sgd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[06:11] <Evanlec> Draggin, oops, sgd = super grub disk, google it
[06:12] <Evanlec> Draggin, yes, you can, i would say you'll have to do it from your LiveCD or with the Super Grub Disk, since you cant boot into Ubuntu
[06:12] <Sayed> Evanlec: You want to handle this, then?
[06:12] <Draggin> All right... Where would I go to try and fix it from the Ubuntu live disc?
[06:12] <Evanlec> Sayed, lol, im jus tryin to be helpful, it sounds like u know more than i do tho
[06:12] <rafaelscj> at ssh client: can I do anything like > cp ~/*/*.* d:\ ?
[06:12] <Sayed> Draggin: Basically chroot and use the grub command line to install. Boot the Ubunto livecd and message me, I can try to walk you through it.
[06:13] <Sayed> Ubuntu* Excuse me, still knew to this distro.
[06:13] <Sayed> New, even.
[06:13] <Evanlec> lol
[06:13] <Draggin> I can't message you from Ubuntu...
[06:13] <Draggin> I haven't been able to get my network stuff up and running yet either
[06:13] <Evanlec> Draggin, from the LiveCD u can..
[06:13] <Evanlec> oh..
[06:13] <Sayed> Draggin: Okay. Then get a pen and a piece of paper, mate.
[06:13] <Evanlec> Sayed, where is he chrooting to?
[06:14] <Draggin> Hehe... Okay...
[06:14] <Draggin> Fair enough :)
[06:14] <m12> sayed, n1 :)
[06:14] <Sayed> Evanlec: His hard disk in order to access the Grub tools
[06:14] <Sayed> m12: n1?
[06:14] <m12> nice one ;)
[06:14] <Evanlec> Sayed, right but wchih partition?
[06:14] <Sayed> Evanlec: Boot, if he has one.
[06:14] <Draggin> Okay, shoot - I got ye olde pen and paper :)
[06:14] <Evanlec> Sayed, so hd0,0 ?
[06:14] <Draggin> Yes, I did set up a boot partition
[06:15] <Sayed> Evanlec: Depends on his hd make up
[06:15] <Evanlec> i thought MBR had to go in hd0,0
[06:15] <m12> seems so quiet this morning, only 4 ppl chatting
[06:15] <Evanlec> but MBR is really its own partition isnt it?
[06:15] <Evanlec> i dunno, MBR stuff is confusing to me
[06:15] <Sayed> Draggin: Okay, when you boot up the live cd create a mount point, mkdir /mnt/ubuntu should do the trick (if it's already there, that's fine)
[06:15] <Sayed> Evanlec: Grub will sort the MBR out or you.
[06:15] <numus> i am having a problem
[06:15] <Pirate_Hunter> :w Errrh is there a way to stop ubuntu from asking for the install Cd when installing a package from synaptic?
[06:16] <numus> the only resolution ubuntu is showing is 640x480
[06:16] <numus> my X11/xorg.conf has all the solutions though
[06:16] <m12> pirate_hunter , vim /etc/apt/sources.list , and remove CD entry
[06:16] <Sayed> Draggin: With me so far?
[06:16] <prohna> i had mbr issues trying to install kubuntu at first
[06:16] <Draggin> Sayed - gotcha
[06:16] <prohna> so i tried ubuntu and it worked fine
[06:16] <dn4> what is a really good first person shooter to play in ubuntu?
[06:17] <Draggin> - /mnt/ubuntu is usually already there though, I believe
[06:17] <Sayed> Now, i'm going to assume your boot partition is /dev/hda1 and root is /dev/hda3, is that alright?
[06:17] <Evanlec> dn4, Quake4 is about as advanced as your gonna get for FPS on Ubuntu i think
[06:17] <m12> dn4 , enemy teritory is ww2
[06:17] <Pirate_Hunter> m12: will try that by the way how do i backup /etc/apt/source.list?
[06:17] <gunthr> rafaelscj, I don't know about idle time, but to transfer files from windows to *nix I use WinSCP.
[06:17] <Draggin> Ermm... I believe it's /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda3...
[06:17] <numus> any ideas about my resolution problem?
[06:17] <Sayed> Draggin: Well then i'll do that hehe
[06:17] <m12> pirate_hunter , cp /etc/apt/sources.list /tmp
[06:18] <Pirate_Hunter> since ppl are talking about games in ubuntu what are the mmo games for ubuntu, is it possible to play gunz online in ubuntu?
[06:18] <rafaelscj> gunthr, thanks, I wll install that too
[06:18] <dn4> is halflife 2 supporteD?
[06:18] <Evanlec> Draggin, yes sda1 would be correct
[06:18] <Pirate_Hunter> m12: thanx
[06:18] <Sayed> do a  mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/ubuntu && mkdir /mnt/ubuntu/boot && mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/ubuntu/boot
[06:18] <m12> np
[06:18] <Sayed> Draggin: ^^
[06:19] <m12> "a help per day keeps doctor away" :P
[06:19] <Sayed> Draggin: You can seperate them or do them all at once, it doesn't matter, just make sure the order is correct.
[06:19] <dwxreaper> how do I start VNC at boot, I want to put the vnc executable in /etc/rc2.d/, but I do ps -a | grep *vnc*
[06:19] <upgrdman> i installed ubuntu on my main hdd, a sata drive. I recently installed a ata133 hdd, and now grub just give me error 15. any ideas?
[06:19] <dwxreaper> and I see no VNC, but i know it's running
[06:19] <melvin_> espanol
[06:19] <Sayed> Just to double check, when chrooting, is it necessary to mount the /proc and /dev with ubuntu?
[06:20] <m12> upgrdman, chck for your new hdd in grub ?
[06:20] <Draggin> Sayed - would you mind explaining briefly what that command does, please?
[06:20] <upgrdman> m12: i do not think it has grub installed, but its possible. its a 400gb hdd from my fileserver and it was in a raid array
[06:21] <Sayed> Draggin: Sure, the first part mounts /dev/sda3 (root partition) to /mnt/ubuntu so you can access your hard disk - then mkdir command makes a place within that mount point for your boot partition and then mounts the boot partition to that place.
[06:21] <m12> upgrdman: try reinstall group, easyest way imho
[06:21] <m12> i mean grub
[06:21] <upgrdman> group?
[06:21] <upgrdman> o
[06:21] <Sayed> Draggin: Ready for next step?
[06:21] <m12> sry just woke up
[06:21] <numus> anyone know why ubuntu only shows me 640x480 resolution in the settings for screen resolution?
[06:21] <scorphus> hello everyone, I'm having problems accessing web server from WAN. iptraf tells me that traffic is coming into port 80 but there is no response neither entry in access.log. Any help?
[06:22] <upgrdman> well... how? as soon as the box starts i get error 15
[06:22] <Bender1337> dumb question but can you download a text based version of ubuntu?
[06:22] <numus> Bender1337 you mean no gui? It is called linux
[06:22] <m12> upgrdman: boot from cd ?
[06:22] <Sayed> Draggin: I have to go to sleep, ready for next step?
[06:22] <upgrdman> m12: ok, then what command after i drop myself into a shell
[06:23] <numus> ubuntu is only showing my 640x480 resoltuion anyone have any ideas?
[06:23] <m12> grub!
[06:23] <Sayed> numus: Check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:23] <upgrdman> ok thx
[06:23] <upgrdman> bbl
[06:23] <numus> sayed i did
[06:23] <Bender1337> numus: no driver
[06:23] <dwxreaper> how do I start VNC at boot, I want to put the vnc executable in /etc/rc2.d/, but I do ps -a | grep *vnc*
[06:23] <dwxreaper> and I see no VNC, but i know it's running
[06:23] <Sayed> numus: Pastebin it for me, i'll take a look
[06:23] <numus> sayed depth 24 has all 4 that i need but ubuntu only shows
[06:23] <m12> ouch
[06:24] <Evanlec> numus, try removing the other modes, leaving only trhe resolution u want ;p
[06:24] <m12> he thought that a command
[06:24] <Sayed> numus: Okay, then pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[06:24] <melvin_> canal espanol
[06:24] <m12> m12 > grub!
[06:24] <Sayed> m12: ++
[06:24] <dwxreaper> !vnc
[06:24] <ubotu> 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
[06:24] <m12> lol
[06:24] <m12> not good

[06:25] <shad0w1e> hey, I installed all the KDE4 packages. How do I start up KDE4?
[06:25] <SEATTLE> HI
[06:25] <shad0w1e> googled around and found close to nothing. I'm on Feisty, so I'm presuming this is beta1, which is fine for me
[06:26] <m12> does any of you guys know where to download JeOS ?
[06:26] <Draggin> Sayed... My apologies... Had some connection problems there...
[06:26] <kalias0> Hi!  Does anyone have experience getting the composite out of a N6200 card to work?
[06:26] <Sayed> Draggin: No problem.
[06:26] <Sayed> Draggin: Ready for the next step?
[06:26] <Draggin> Just a moment - could you please just quickly tell me what that command does?
[06:26] <Textbook> dn4: if you're still here, look into Penumbra, it's just a demo right now, but it's free, there's a version for Linux, and it's pretty high-end / high-tech
[06:27] <Sayed> numus: Check out line 362-366 =D
[06:27] <Sayed> Draggin: Sure, the first part mounts /dev/sda3 (root partition) to /mnt/ubuntu so you can access your hard disk - then mkdir command makes a place within that mount point for your boot partition and then mounts the boot partition to that place.
[06:27] <numus> sayed how do i validate the mode
[06:27] <jonneh> Anyone know anything about shaving off some pixels to a second monitor in Xinerama (xorg.conf)?
[06:27] <Sayed> numus: There is a problem with your xorg.conf, upload it please.
[06:28] <Pirate_Hunter> i need something in ubuntu to replace Microsoft Visual basic 6 in m$ xp
[06:28] <numus> sayed http://pastebin.com/m5797d690
[06:28] <kalias0> is there an xorg.conf wizard here?
[06:28] <Evanlec> !basic
[06:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about basic - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[06:28] <Draggin> Okay Sayed... But I made the partitions like this - first partition on the drive is the Windows partition, the second one, also primary, is the boot partition and the third one is the root partition. Is that a problem?
[06:29] <lazaruslupine> no swap?
[06:29] <Sayed> Draggin: No problem, just change the numbers respectively to the proper partition.
[06:29] <Draggin> No, the swap partition is on another drive
[06:29] <Evanlec> i dont understand why you'd need a boot partition but meh..
[06:30] <tonyyarusso> I've always kept a separate /boot
[06:30] <Pirate_Hunter> i need something in ubuntu to replace Microsoft Visual basic 6 in m$ xp, any suggestions?
[06:30] <Draggin> Okay, think I gotcha...
[06:30] <Sayed> Draggin: That's no problem, we're not touching swap
[06:30] <Draggin> What next?
[06:30] <Evanlec> tonyyarusso, what for?
[06:30] <Sayed> Draggin: Hold on one second, helping numus out
[06:30] <Sayed> numus: You sure that URL is right?
[06:30] <Draggin> okay
[06:30] <jonneh> Anyone know anything about shaving off some pixels to a second monitor in Xinerama (xorg.conf)?
[06:30] <numus> sayed ya
[06:30] <tonyyarusso> Evanlec: It makes things more sane when you have the stable and development version on the same machine, for instance.
[06:30] <numus> sayed will do it again
[06:30] <Sayed> Draggin: The next command would be mount -t proc none /mnt/ubuntu/proc
[06:31] <Sayed> numus: Okay
[06:31] <Sayed> Draggin: THen after that do  mount -o bind /dev /mnt/ubuntu/dev
[06:31] <Evanlec> tonyyarusso, what goes in this boot partition? grub? how does your bios know to use that partition?
[06:31] <numus> sayed http://pastebin.com/m29cc10ee
[06:31] <tonyyarusso> Evanlec: the grub config files, yes, and grub-install goes on the MBR with a pointer to it for the bios
[06:32] <Evanlec> tonyyarusso, i see...so the MBR is sorta like its own little partition on the first sector of the disk?
[06:32] <Pirate_Hunter> what is a good program package for visual basic/ c languages/ SQL etc in ubuntu?
[06:32] <jonneh> !xinerama

[06:32] <m12> !ubotu yes
[06:32] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about yes - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[06:33] <evilskillit> I'm new to Linux and could use some help with sound looping issues I'm having, and also need to figure out how to set resolutions in x-windows.

[06:33] <kalias0> oh, sorry :(
[06:33] <Evanlec> tonyyarusso, alright, makes a little more sense to me now, so grub overwrites that space with a pointer to the /boot partition

[06:34] <kalias0> I have a composite out problem.  I can get text to my tv but not graphics.
[06:34] <Sayed> numus: You need to set correct horizontal synchronization and vertical refresh values in your monitor section
[06:34] <Sayed> Draggin: Ready for next step?
[06:35] <Draggin> Just a second - reposting...
[06:35] <Draggin> Okay Sayed - mind explaining them again? And just to make certain - in the second command, that is a space after the bind /dev and before the /mnt/ubuntu/dev, right?
[06:35] <kalias0> do the CRT and TV have to have the same rates?
[06:35] <shrimants> Hello everyone
[06:35] <Evanlec> tonyyarusso, but lets say in a dual-boot environment with windows, that point would still go to the /boot partition but inside that partition would be the config files that would let u then boot from another partition to windows for example?
[06:35] <numus> sayed how do i figure those out
[06:35] <Sayed> Draggin: There is a space, and that command mounts the proc and dev filesystems
[06:35] <Sayed> numus: Look-up your monitor online by model #
[06:35] <Draggin> okay cool... I'll worr
[06:35] <Draggin> okay cool... I'll worry about what exactly that means later :)
[06:36] <shrimants> how do i remove the -15-generic kernel?
[06:36] <numus> sony sdm-s51
[06:36] <Sayed> Draggin: Next command is   chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
[06:36] <Sayed> numus: www.google.ca =)
[06:36] <kalias0> okay, I will.  Can my CRT and TV have different refresh rates?
[06:36] <Evanlec> kalias0, umm...yes they can
[06:36] <Sayed> Draggin: then env-update
[06:36] <Pirate_Hunter> what is a good program package for visual basic/ c languages/ SQL etc in ubuntu?
[06:36] <Sayed> Draggin: Then source /etc/profile
[06:36] <tonyyarusso> Evanlec: Yeah - !dualboot has more info on that.  Windows would just be another entry like anything else, plus the chainloader +1 option
[06:36] <kalias0> ok, I will go and check out my TV and see what it says, thanks :)
[06:36] <Sayed> Draggin: then for kicks do  export PS1="(chroot) $PS1"
[06:36] <shrimants> how do i remove a kernel?
[06:37] <winbond> how safe is the opera browser? , i know a while ago there was bunch of spyware that installed itself on my pc through it

[06:38] <Sayed> Draggin: Okay, now cd /mnt/ubunto/boot
[06:38] <evilskillit> Ok I'll be a while getting acquainted with the manual for xorg.conf. My other problem is any time I play sound or video with sound the audio sticks and starts looping and makes my computer almost lock up for a while. My soundcard is an old sb live.
[06:39] <aLkaN> s.a
[06:39] <Sayed> Draggin: Then  do a grep -v rootfs /proc/mounts > /etc/mtab
[06:39] <Evanlec> winbond, yea i think if u register it, which costs $, i could be wrong tho, check their website
[06:39] <winbond> EvaLuaTe, k m thanks
[06:39] <leladia> pls how do i display the content of /etc/passwd omiting or suppressing certain fields?
[06:39] <Draggin> o-kay
[06:39] <winbond> Evanlec,  m thanks
[06:39] <Sayed> Draggin: Then we edit the grub.conf
[06:40] <Draggin> how?
[06:40] <Sayed> Draggin: Add the following lines to your grub.conf and change the device lines respectively
[06:40] <Sayed> Draggin:  When I do a ## that means a new line, okay?
[06:40] <Draggin> vi?
[06:40] <Sayed> Draggin: Vim, vi, nano, whatever
[06:40] <Draggin> okay...
[06:40] <Geeunkown> yeah I have an home network and just wanted to share one folder for read only but when I use the share option it shares out the whole home directory not what I attended too do..
[06:40] <Sayed> Draggin: title=Windows XP ## rootnoverify (hd0,0) ## makeactive ## chainloader +1
[06:41] <Evanlec> Draggin, use nano for your text editor, its easiest, via cmd "sudo nano grub.conf"
[06:41] <Sayed> Draggin: Replace (hd0,0) with the windows partition
[06:41] <numus> sayed horizontal syn and refresh go in monitor not screen right?
[06:41] <Sayed> numus: Yessir
[06:41] <leladia> pls how do i display the content of '/etc/passwd' omitting or suppressing certain fields?
[06:41] <Sayed> numus: Make sure you use proper syntax, x11 is picky
[06:42] <Sayed> Draggin: One more thing left to do after that, let me know when you get it down
[06:42] <jonneh> xorg.conf - bigdesktop with different resolutions, anyone know how?

[06:42] <pjman> Hi everyone. How can I convert shn files to flac?
[06:42] <OrTigaS> how to shared my ubuntu home  folder to windows network?
[06:43] <m12> !samba
[06:43] <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
[06:43] <dystopianray> OrTigaS: you can do that with samba
[06:43] <Sayed> OrTigaS: Haha, have fun. Start with Samba
[06:43] <OrTigaS> right click 'folder'....
[06:43] <leladia> pls i need help
[06:43] <OrTigaS> installed already :)
[06:43] <m12> leladia, what is problem
[06:43] <leladia> pls how do i display the content of /etc/passwd omitting or suppressing certain fields?
[06:43] <OrTigaS> just want it to share and browse
[06:43] <jonneh> xorg.conf - bigdesktop with different resolutions, anyone know how?
[06:43] <Sayed> Draggin: By the way, your grub.conf is /boot/grub/grub.conf
[06:44] <qazwsx> how do I know which version of ubuntu I'm running i.e. fiesty, gutsy, or edgy
[06:44] <m12> leladia , sec
[06:44] <Sayed> qazwsx: I assume uname -a
[06:44] <leladia> m12: okay
[06:44] <dystopianray> qazwsx: cat /etc/lsb-release
[06:44] <Draggin> Sayed, just to make sure, the end result of all of this is that Linux is basically going to overwrite NTLDR with GRUB, thus enabling me to choose to load either Linux or Windows when I boot the system, right? No data files are being overwritten, only the MBR?
[06:44] <Evanlec> qazwsx, lsb-release -a
[06:44] <dystopianray> Draggin: that's right
[06:44] <Sayed> Draggin: Indeed.
[06:44] <OrTigaS> its just showing on the network but cant broswe/open
[06:44] <Draggin> Okay, great :)
[06:44] <Evanlec> qazwsx, oops, maybe not
[06:45] <Draggin> Quite a bloody process though...
[06:45] <Sayed> Draggin: Hehe, I know
[06:45] <jonneh> xorg.conf - bigdesktop with different resolutions, anyone know how?
[06:45] <Sayed> Draggin: Would've been easier if you planned in advance. It's like chewing gum for me, i've done it 10000 times
[06:45] <Sayed> Draggin: eady for last step?
[06:45] <m12> leladia , try with vipw
[06:45] <Draggin> Well... I tried planning in advance, but it's a little difficult planing it if you don't really have a clue what you're doing :)
[06:45] <Draggin> Yes, let me right down the last one and try all of this...
[06:46] <Sayed> Draggin: cd /mnt/ubuntu/boot/grub/ && grub-install --no-floppy /dev/sda
[06:46] <Shmattie> Anyone know how to make a cron script start a GUI app like mplayer?
[06:46] <leladia> m12: i will, right now
[06:46] <Sayed> Draggin: Now I have to go to sleep to get to class early. e-mail me with any problems at yayo23@gmail.com and I will respond as soon as I get back. I'll be in this channel in aprox. 15 hrs from now

[06:47] <leladia> i am connected to my schs server
[06:47] <Sayed> Draggin: Not a problemo. Hope you get everything sorted out.
[06:47] <Sayed> m12: lOL
[06:47] <m12> ortigas, try SWAT
[06:47] <Draggin> I'll go try it out right now and let you know how it goes
[06:47] <leladia> so i have very little permission
[06:47] <Shmattie> m12, I am looking for it start at a certain time, not on login.  How do I do that in session?
[06:47] <OrTigaS> swat?
[06:48] <marx2k> ubuntu totally needs an easier setup for samba shared folders
[06:48] <OrTigaS> neverheard :)
[06:48] <Sayed> Draggin: Okay. I'm off to sleep. See ya!

[06:49] <Otaimerz> i need help about installation ubuntu
[06:49] <leladia> are they options to a command?
[06:49] <m12> vi passwd editor
[06:49] <m12> vipw
[06:50] <leladia> okay
[06:50] <leladia> thanks
[06:50] <Otaimerz> why when i bootable the image cd ya... it running.. and i enter the install.. then.. after loading linux kernel.. it show system halted
[06:50] <leladia> what i am actually looking for is different
[06:50] <leladia> i knw when i use the finger command
[06:50] <Otaimerz> why:? and how i want to overcome that problem
[06:50] <leladia> i get some fields
[06:51] <leladia> i want to be able to suppress some of those fields
[06:51] <m12> vipw lets u edit it, aint that enough lelaida ?
[06:51] <leladia> permission denied
[06:51] <Shmattie> Otaimerz, Have you tried the recovery mode on the cd?
[06:51] <m12> sudo =?
[06:51] <leladia> when i tried that
[06:51] <dystopianray> m12: that's not what leladia is asking for
[06:51] <marx2k> Otaimerz: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Aubuntuforums.org+livecd+system+halted&btnG=Search
[06:52] <m12> hmm
[06:52] <leladia> m12: i am remotely accessing my schools server
[06:52] <m12> than i probably dont uderstand question
[06:52] <rafaelscj> !vnc
[06:52] <ubotu> 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
[06:52] <dystopianray> leladia: unless you want to edit /etc/passwd don't use vipw
[06:52] <dystopianray> leladia: and only root can use vipw
[06:52] <leladia> i am not the administrator
[06:52] <leladia> dystopianray:  thanks
[06:53] <leladia> i think u seem to understand me a little
[06:53] <leladia> all i want  is to view the content of /etc/passwd
 Otaimerz, Have you tried the recovery mode on the cd?: how to recovery mode ?
[06:53] <Uncle_Muscle> sounds like you want to circumvent the server's security
[06:53] <pjman> anyone know how to convert shorten (shn) files to flac? Amarok can't play shn files in Feisty.
[06:53] <leladia> however, i also want to be able to suppress some fields from showing
[06:54] <Uncle_Muscle> leladia: talk to your admin, then
[06:54] <john_davis> Is there support for USB ethernet cards on the Ubuntu Desktop Install CD?
[06:54] <leladia> uncle_Muscle: if i use cat i can display the content
[06:54] <leladia> that is not a problem
[06:54] <bulmer> leladia: any user can cat /etc/passwd
[06:55] <Shmattie> Otaimerz, I am not an Ubuntu expert.  I was thinking on the install cd menu, you could choose some type of recovery mode.
[06:55] <leladia> bulmer: yes
[06:55] <Uncle_Muscle> modification is the issue
[06:55] <helpme> hello
[06:55] <leladia> but i don't want certain fields to be displayed in my output
[06:55] <dystopianray> john_davis: what chip does the device use?
[06:55] <Uncle_Muscle> ah
[06:55] <Shmattie> Otaimerz, I just searched and there is a text mode install.  Have you tried that?
[06:55] <helpme> can someone help me?
[06:55] <m12> !coffe
[06:55] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about coffe - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[06:56] <BernieMac> !ask | helpme
[06:56] <ubotu> helpme: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:56] <bulmer> leladia: use awk to tokenize each field and print only ones you like
[06:56] <CyberMad> i got problem with windows shared folder to my ubuntu.. i tried this on my fstab: //192.168.1.1/Shared /mnt/shared cifs auto,user,username=xxxxx,workgroup=xxxxx,password=xxxxx,uid=500,gid=500,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,rw 0 0
[06:56] <benanz1> when I do "ping localhost" it takes forever and pings some weird IP in my DNS server's IP range
[06:56] <leladia> bulmer: is awk an option?
[06:57] <CyberMad> but everytime i copy a file or folder in windows shared folder.. it always set as read only, so there is key icon on it.. so i can not delete or rename or modify
[06:57] <helpme> ha ok, so i broke ubuntu but i saved a backup file. i am on the live cd try to make the change so i can have my good ubuntu back but it won't let me access my hard drive becasue i am not root. How can i log in as root through the live cd?
[06:57] <dystopianray> leladia: awk is a command
[06:57] <bulmer> leladia man awk
[06:57] <dystopianray> helpme: sudo -i
[06:57] <CyberMad> but if i did umount -a  and then mount -a, then the key is dissapear
[06:57] <leladia> bulmer: thanks

[06:59] <marx2k> so what account does liveCD run as?
[06:59] <Evanlec> Techone, i used vnc-player
[06:59] <helpme> yes
[06:59] <dystopianray> marx2k: just a generic user named 'ubuntu'
[06:59] <helpme> it's media/disk
[06:59] <marx2k> interesting
[06:59] <Techone> what about virtual pc 2007
[06:59] <astro76> Techone, what system are you on, windows?
[06:59] <marx2k> I was not aware
[06:59] <Techone> xp
[06:59] <dystopianray> Techone: use vmware
[07:00] <Evanlec> Techone, that one im not familiar with, but i know some have done it
[07:00] <marx2k> or VirtualBox
[07:00] <astro76> Techone, get vmware player, then go to easyvmx.com and make a blank virtual machine
[07:00] <Shmattie> leladia, something like awk '{ print $1 $3 }'
[07:00] <Techone> alright
[07:00] <marx2k> I wish VirtualBox was default installed :/
[07:00] <bulmer> leladia: something like this  awk -F: '{print $1, $3 }' /etc/passwd
[07:00] <Shmattie> leladia, change the $1 and 3 to whatever column numbers you want
[07:01] <alecwh> Hey! I'm looking for a program for linux that's good for taking notes in my math class. I need to be able to use this program, just like I would actually be taking notes, drawing and putting stuff into "tables". can someone help me find an app for this?
[07:01] <Techone> I've used vmware once no luck but that was with reactOS
[07:01] <m12> techone check in #vmware
[07:01] <helpme> Is someone working on my question?
[07:01] <Techone> ok

[07:02] <Pirate_Hunter> Can someone help me install TLS 1.5.0 as i need it for amsn 97 and it needs it? ive downloaded it but have no clue how to install it as there is no read me file
[07:02] <alecwh> dystopianray: I have all my assignments/notes taken on my computer. I CAN use paper, but it would be convienent for an app. :)

[07:03] <rafaelscj> Pirate_Hunter, didn't you do apt-get install amns?
[07:03] <dystopianray> helpme: run 'mount' and see exactly where it is mounted
[07:03] <rafaelscj> amsn*
[07:04] <marx2k> df -Th would work too
[07:04] <helpme> /dev/hda1 on /media/disk type ext3 (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
[07:04] <marx2k> "df -Th"

[07:08] <GNine> bios pnp setting : yes for ubuntu 7.04?
[07:09] <marx2k> Grrr why does Noatun copy over the files I put into the playlist from a remote SMB share rather than streaming them

[07:10] <Pirate_Hunter> rafaelscj :nah no read me file but thanx for trying
[07:10] <Evanlec> Pirate_Hunter, usually it goes like untar the file, (double click on it and extract) then use command line, cd /where u extracted, then ./configure, make, make install
[07:10] <rafaelscj> Pirate_Hunter, If I were you I whouldn't update
[07:10] <CyberMad> marx2k do you ever have problem.. when you try save file from ubuntu to mounted folder (windows shared folder), it save as read-only??
[07:11] <helpme> got it! Thank you so much!
[07:11] <CyberMad> i tried this on my fstab: //192.168.1.1/Shared /mnt/shared cifs auto,user,username=xxxxx,workgroup=xxxxx,password=xxxxx,uid=500,gid=500,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,rw 0 0

[07:11] <Pirate_Hunter> rafaelscj: lol thats like not updating m$ XP and thats more messed up than this
[07:11] <dystopianray> GNine: it probably doesn't matter
[07:11] <marx2k> Cyber: Hm, cant help you there :(
[07:12] <CyberMad> np, others can help me?
[07:12] <Pirate_Hunter> Evanlec: I have a rough idea of how to compile but havent done it before just read here and there but thanx will try
[07:12] <phuzion_> how do i unrar but keep the directory structure within the rar file?
[07:12] <GNine> heh
[07:12] <phuzion_> because right now unrar is dumping everthing into the working directory
[07:12] <Evanlec> Pirate_Hunter, but what he's saying is, unless u absolutely have to install from source, try to find a .deb package
[07:12] <zetheroo> any people here from Sydney?
[07:12] <phuzion_> unrar e bup.rar is the command I'm doing
[07:13] <zetheroo> any people here from Sydney, Australia
[07:13] <upgrdman> hello, i have a tv tuner that works best with dvb... how do i install dvb? i do not see a package in synaptic specifically for dvb
[07:13] <rafaelscj> Pirate_Hunter, I always try to install using apt-get/synaptics because I can just "apt-get remove", I think you don't have the builder
[07:14] <Pirate_Hunter> Evanlec: ive got this version through update, synaptic has 0.96 version and if i were to isntall that it would just go back to 0.97 sooner or later due to my next update
[07:14] <dn4> how much time do you think will need to pass before we see a big drop in dual core cpu technologies dropping
[07:14] <marx2k> dn4: you mean pricewise?
[07:15] <dn4> marx2k, yes, i'm wondering because quad and triple cores are coming out
[07:15] <NiYaDo> hey
[07:16] <NiYaDo> alguien aqui habla espanol?
[07:16] <marx2k> dn4: well, youll see a drop when AMD releases the triplecore and another drop when Intel drops the price on its quadcore
[07:16] <picodon> eh? are quads of both out? ive never seen anyone talk tripple
[07:16] <picodon> and duals are pretty cheap now
[07:16] <picodon> as are slower quads for that matter
[07:17] <dn4> marx2k, now I want AMD and Intel to clash in a price war on the quads haha
[07:17] <marx2k> Pichu0102:
[07:17] <marx2k> http://www.vnunet.com/itweek/news/2198898/amd-unveils-triple-core-desktop
[07:17] <dn4> dubbed "Quad Damage"
[07:17] <Evanlec> question is, how well does linux take advantage of quad cores?:
[07:17] <marx2k> well, linux takes advantage of dual cores nicely from my experience
[07:18] <marx2k> (when Im using the dualcores at school)\
[07:18] <Evanlec> yea i spose, the generic kernel supports smp by default i guess
[07:18] <marx2k> htop shows them to handle processes nicely
[07:18] <ddr4> Evanlec, \\o
[07:18] <Evanlec> but the question is how well will software support 4 cores
[07:19] <Pirate_Hunter> quads sorry to interrupt damn im so behind on time, we got quads nowadays?
[07:19] <marx2k> yep
[07:19] <dn4> quads and triples
[07:19] <Evanlec> Pirate_Hunter, yea intel has quad core chips
[07:19] <Evanlec> forget what they're called
[07:19] <marx2k> Evanlec: as long as the OS can nicely divide processing so each core can handle its share of apps, itd be nice
[07:19] <Evanlec> yea true
[07:20] <Evanlec> godo for multi-tasking
[07:20] <ddr4> Pirate_Hunter, your way behind time lol
[07:20] <dn4> wait
[07:20] <AzMoo[w] > What's the name of the ubuntu-desktop package for the server version? I thought it was ubuntu-server, but it doesn't work.
[07:20] <CyberMad> how to make a script to running these commands:  sudo -i with password; umount -a; mount -a ?
[07:20] <Veinor> for some reason, at least once a day, my computer almost totally freezes. I can still move the mouse, and even minimize things b clicking on the taskbar, and my wallpaper cron job ran on schedule, but nothing else works. could this be an issue with compiz-fusion, or is it an issue with my drivers?
[07:20] <Pirate_Hunter> Evanlec: :-0 incredible an dhow much is that forking for? OMG quad processor wow ive been sleeping...
[07:20] <rafaelscj> can anyone tell me a vnc client?
[07:20] <AzMoo[w] > rafaelscj: realvnc
[07:20] <rene> hola
[07:21] <marx2k> CyberMad: put the commands in a plain text file and put #!/bin/bash in the header :)
[07:21] <dn4> marx2k, ETA in an intel-quad-core price drop?
[07:21] <rafaelscj> AzMoo[w] , for linux...
[07:21] <picodon> dell are shipping quad AMD machines in november, optimised for virtualisation
[07:21] <Veinor> vncviewer?
[07:21] <marx2k> dn4: shrug its not like I have the money to even be looking at prices or timelines right now :)
[07:21] <picodon> 'veso' stuff
[07:22] <marx2k> yeah, having one CPU handle just my VMWare XP image would be nice
[07:22] <Pirate_Hunter> ddr4: i know yet have no clue how it happened I guess its been all this spare time
[07:22] <marx2k> though its not slow at all on my old-ass AMD Athlon 2000+ with 1G memory
[07:22] <dn4> marx2k, I'm just wanting to see the ripple effect in the market and have dual core 64 x2 drop
[07:22] <rafaelscj> xvncviewer?
[07:22] <dialntone> you guys are soo pro!
[07:22] <dialntone> thats' for that sudo command earlier..
[07:22] <cEwLaruku> uyku
[07:22] <ddr4> Pirate_Hunter, lol yeah, its like ddr3 ram!
[07:22] <Pirate_Hunter> ddr4: dang still seems like dual proccsessor were least a week ago the memory is still fresh in my head
[07:22] <dn4> marx2k, AMD Athlon 800mhz here
[07:22] <Evanlec> Pirate_Hunter, http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010340343+50001157+1050727216&name=Core+2+Quad
[07:23] <CyberMad> marx2k thanks :)
[07:23] <Veinor> i think xvncviewer = vncviewer
[07:23] <marx2k> yeah... I really dont run anything CPU intensive on any of my linux boxes
[07:23] <dialntone> I was wondering if is there an essential site where ran sudo commands should be ran on a noob ubuntu desktop?
[07:23] <acetech> hey can anyone help on having ubuntu have sound output to my spdif..... please?
[07:23] <marx2k> the closest I get to CPU intensive is XP in a VMWare sandbox but that runs just fine
[07:23] <ddr4> Evanlec, if you can top that off with some ddr3 ram you will be impossible !
[07:23] <Pirate_Hunter> Evanlec: thos eprices aint bad i think there are better than when dual came out
[07:23] <AzMoo[w] > rafaelscj: oooh ;) svncviewer is probably your best bet.
[07:23] <Veinor> for some reason, at least once a day, my computer almost totally freezes. I can still move the mouse, and even minimize things b clicking on the taskbar, and my wallpaper cron job ran on schedule, but nothing else works. could this be an issue with compiz-fusion, or is it an issue with my drivers?
[07:23] <CyberMad> how to do the command sudo -i  with password in single line??  sudo -i mypassword  ??
[07:24] <dn4> marx2k, The orange box (Valve) is coming out soon October 10th so i'm looking to gear up with an overhaul of CPU power
[07:24] <marx2k> dialntone: Huh?
[07:24] <marx2k> acetech: "alsaconfig"
[07:24] <marx2k> whoopa
[07:24] <marx2k> whoops
[07:24] <marx2k> wrong command
[07:24] <marx2k> "alsaconf"
[07:24] <Pirate_Hunter> Evanlec: *correction* Those prices aint bad, i think they are better than when dual came out - "thats much better"
[07:24] <marx2k> AHHH WRONG AGAIN
[07:24] <rafaelscj> AzMoo[w] , thanks
[07:24] <marx2k> "alsamixer"
[07:24] <marx2k> sorry
[07:25] <dialntone> apt-get install libxine-extracodecs
[07:25] <sauvin> The company I work for called me into the office today to "explain" to me that they've unilaterally decided I need to learn to live with a 25% pay increase.
[07:25] <marx2k> I think you can get a quadcore intel CPU for about $275 now
[07:25] <dn4> Pirate_Hunter, yeah, 279.99 for a quad core chip seems insanely cheap
[07:25] <Evanlec> marx2k, yep, the 6600
[07:25] <dialntone> you know that sudo command, its really essential to the not so typical user that doesn't know much about linux
[07:25] <marx2k> dn4: yeah but dont you need a new mobo and mem for that too?
[07:25] <CyberMad> marx2k do you know how to do  sudo -i  with password in single line? usually on terminal when i type sudo -i, will request password
[07:25] <dialntone> there' must be a site which addresses a load of sudo commands that a windows user should know when he gets on ubuntu
[07:26] <Evanlec> marx2k, new mobo and ddr2 ram i believe
[07:26] <marx2k> Cyber: I do not
[07:26] <orb> Hey guys I dual booted ubuntu with Windows XP 32 bit, but then I reformatted my windows partition and installed windows 64 bit.  Now GRUB doesn't load when I boot.  How do I get GRUB to load again so I can boot linux?
[07:26] <CyberMad> :) ok
[07:26] <marx2k> Evanlec: and so total price shoots up :/
[07:26] <dn4> marx2k, yeah for most people that is an automatic must have upgrade
[07:26] <marx2k> orb: Windows wipes your MBR
[07:26] <orb> marx2k: MBR? what's that
[07:26] <marx2k> orb: easiest method... download grub rescue disc
[07:26] <marx2k> !grd
[07:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about grd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[07:26] <dystopianray> orb: master boot record
[07:26] <Textbook> dn4: did you check out penumbra?
[07:26] <marx2k> !grub rescue
[07:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about grub rescue - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[07:26] <Pirate_Hunter> dn4: I wouldnt say insanely, but cheap yes but than im behind on times, I dont know how long quads have been on the market thats probably why :(
[07:26] <Evanlec> marx2k, yea, probly another 2-300, so ur talkin 5-600 for quad-core power ;p
[07:26] <orb> okay where do I get a grub recue disk
[07:26] <marx2k> ugh
[07:26] <dn4> Textbook, yes my computer is to slow :(
[07:27] <dystopianray> orb: you can use the ubuntu livecd to reinstall grub
[07:27] <phoenixz> Hi, I just installed kubuntu on a dell latitude d620 laptop. Im trying to view some movies with either mplayer, or kaffeine, but kaffeine shows a black image, and mplayer crashes with "X11 error: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)?,?% 0 0"..
[07:27] <orb> I didn't use a livecd, I used the text based installer :\
[07:27] <acetech> marx2k, i have played with gnome alsa mixer and nothing
[07:27] <acetech> marx2k, i am able to get sound from spdif in xmms
[07:27] <phoenixz> I think I installed all drivers correctly (compiz-fusion works perfectly for example)
[07:27] <acetech> marx2k, but not globally in ubuntu
[07:27] <dn4> Pirate_Hunter, I think they hit the market this month
[07:27] <marx2k> acetech: go to terminal and run "alsamixer"
[07:27] <dn4> I could be wrong though
[07:27] <dystopianray> phoenixz: do you have intel video?
[07:27] <marx2k> orb:
[07:28] <orb> marx2k do you know where I can get a grub rescue disk
[07:28] <marx2k> http://linux.softpedia.com/get/System/Recovery/GRUB-Disk-15969.shtml
[07:28] <orb> thanks!
[07:28] <marx2k> no problem
[07:28] <dystopianray> orb: just boot the ubuntu livecd
[07:28] <orb> so I boot with that and it'll fix it?
[07:28] <GNine> set PnP to NO in BIOS.  everything still normal.  how about resetting ESCD? how safe would that be for ubuntu
[07:28] <orb> dystopianray: i don't have a livecd
[07:28] <marx2k> orb: theres a menu system but its self explanatory
[07:28] <dystopianray> orb: get one
[07:28] <marx2k> GNine: thatd be fine
[07:28] <dystopianray> orb: any linux livecd will do
[07:28] <orb> marx2k: so it's a deb file, how do I boot with it
[07:29] <dystopianray> GNine: resetting the escd shoudlnt' affect linux
[07:29] <Evanlec> GNine, why are u trying to do that?
[07:29] <dialntone> anyone know the common sudo apt-get installs' must used
[07:29] <orb> marx2k: i didn't think deb files were cd images
[07:29] <marx2k> GNine: I have ubuntu installed on a 160G USB drive that I move from computer to computer with no problem, so wiping the ESCD and having the mobo reinit it should be fine
[07:29] <dialntone> most,. used  im a linux beginner
[07:29] <GNine> heh
[07:29] <Evanlec> oh ;p
[07:29] <Pirate_Hunter> dn4: Not bad intel is gaining some brains they've selling products at reasonable prices but than if they dont AMD will hahahaha - yet i was expecting quads to reach the 4.0GHz speed not 2 - 3GHz with over cloacking
[07:29] <dystopianray> dialntone: just type 'apt-get' and press enter
[07:30] <marx2k> oh thats weird, what happened to the ISO image they had up there...
[07:30] <orb> marx2k: how do I boot from that deb file?
[07:30] <phoenixz> dystopianray, intel 945 chipset yeah, if you mean that
[07:30] <Evanlec> Pirate_Hunter, the intel core duo is a new architecture, throwing away the netburst architecture of the Pentium line, the new architecture is quite a bit faster, but does not clock as high as the netburst architecture
[07:30] <dn4> Pirate_Hunter, ahh, yeah it is weird how all of a sudden cpus starting going up in hz really fast, then it seems to of capped off around 2-3Ghz, its weird.
[07:30] <paddu> hi
[07:30] <phoenixz> I think I have all (most?) drivers ok instaled, compiz-fusion works like a charm, for example
[07:31] <dialntone> how would i know which will work with what ?
[07:31] <dystopianray> phoenixz: add 'Option "LinearAlloc" "8160"' to the device section of your xorg.conf
[07:31] <upgrdman> what file do i put a modules name in so that it will modprobe it at bootup
[07:31] <orb> marx2k how do I make a boot disk out of that deb file
[07:31] <Evanlec> dn4, the mhz barrier has been reached to some degree, which is why processors are now being built with more cores and not more mhz
[07:31] <phoenixz> dystopianray, that is like a standard fix for this?
[07:31] <dystopianray> upgrdman: /etc/modules
[07:32] <dystopianray> phoenixz: should be, do that then restart X
[07:32] <Pirate_Hunter> dn4: but than they might have been aiming at lower speeds and higher threading considering how many tasks quad can handle
[07:32] <marx2k> orb: http://geocities.com/supergrubdisk/
[07:32] <CyberMad> i already make script on text file: #!/bin/bash  sudo -s  umount -a  mount -a, how to run that script on double click the file?
[07:32] <upgrdman> dystopianray: thx
[07:32] <orb> thx marx
[07:32] <dn4> Evanlec, do you know wher eto find papers on that, as to what the barrier actually is that limits the cpu
[07:33] <marx2k> CyberMad: : im not sure how youd do that WITH password auto-supplied
[07:33] <punsad> dn4: transistor gatelength for one
[07:33] <Evanlec> dn4, im not an expert on it, but the problem comes to a few things, mainly heat, size, and power requirement
[07:33] <marx2k> punsad == WAY over my head :D
[07:33] <Pirate_Hunter> Evanlec: hmm I see ok i might even be able to see a 1 terrabyte processor in my life time if this continues like this, but than is that even possible?
[07:33] <CyberMad> geez..
[07:33] <CyberMad> marx2k yes.. i'm confuse.. i will do google
[07:34] <Evanlec> Pirate_Hunter, that may be possible, but at the moment it appears it is not cost-effective to continue to madly up the clock rate
[07:34] <punsad> dn4: now I'm curious - why do you want to know about cpu speed limitations - just curiousity?
[07:34] <acetech> marx2k, i have IEC958 set to 00, IEC958 P set to 67, also PCM, channel mode is on 2...
[07:34] <Evanlec> Pirate_Hunter, the core duo architecture sacrifices pure clock speed for more instructions per cycle
[07:35] <ryugaka> crap guys i'm just finding out there's more than 40gb hd's out there don't talk to me about faster cpu's!
[07:35] <dn4> punsad, curiousity indeed
[07:35] <Evanlec> Pirate_Hunter, it has a shorter pipeline which means it executes faster but cannot clock as well as pentium 4's netburst architecture which has a very long pipeline
[07:35] <Pirate_Hunter> Evanlec: I understand what you mean, as much as everyone would like mad speeds on processors I guess the distribution of data process/handling is much more efficient
[07:35] <dystopianray> ryugaka: they're already up to 1TB with hdds
[07:35] <ryugaka> i know
[07:35] <watercooler> who likes to help fix Xorg's shortcomings?
[07:36] <watercooler> http://pastebin.com/m975f7ac
[07:36] <ryugaka> i had like a 160gb hd and i never knew what to do with it.
[07:36] <picodon> they still measure hard drives in gigabytes?
[07:36] <ryugaka> i'm so use to 10gb's and like sacrificing space.
[07:36] <z0rz> Is there a simple command to run to check to see which file has been changed in a directory (including subdirectories)?
[07:36] <dystopianray> z0rz: changed compared to what?
[07:36] <punsad> dn4: by the way, transistor gate length is just the distance between the two electrodes of a transistor (i.e. how far the electrons have to travel from one electrode to another
[07:36] <mindrape> z0rz - if you use tripwire mebbe
[07:36] <Evanlec> Pirate_Hunter, clock rate does not equal speed, just look at how AMD's chips were equivalent to Pentium 4's even tho they were usually clocked 1ghz less
[07:37] <z0rz> Damn it.. I hate it when I ask the wrong question.. but I guess I'd like to know the answer to that one too..
[07:37] <z0rz> dystopianray: I just wanted to look at what lines in a file changed..
[07:37] <marx2k> CyberMad: I think your answer lies with piping info to the command but I dont know how to do it specifically
[07:37] <dystopianray> z0rz: changed compared to what though?
[07:37] <Pirate_Hunter> Evanlec: didn't know that just learnt something new but than do people even overclock dual cores?
[07:38] <z0rz> dystopianray: To it's previous state..
[07:38] <Pirate_Hunter> Evanlec: ok got you
[07:38] <fotoflo> hey can gunzip unzip a regular .zip file or only .gz files?
[07:38] <Evanlec> Pirate_Hunter, sure they do
[07:38] <sven_oostenbrink> dystopianray, well, video seems to be working now but... now i dont have compiz-fusion anymore :(
[07:38] <punsad> fotoflo: I don't think it can do zip files
[07:38] <z0rz> dystopianray: Like I could copy a direcotyr cp -R ~ ~/homebackup
[07:38] <marx2k> fotoflo: gunzip should be able to do zip
[07:38] <dystopianray> z0rz: make a copy the current state and use diff to see if/when it changes
[07:38] <Evanlec> Pirate_Hunter, i have a Pentium D (dual core) clocked at 3.0ghz from 2.8ghz stock
[07:38] <acetech> marx2k, any suggestions?
[07:38] <z0rz> dystopianray: Nice..
[07:38] <dystopianray> sven_oostenbrink: did you setup compiz-fusion to start automatically on login?
[07:38] <z0rz> Alright how about this one..
[07:38] <punsad> dn4: unzip is available through apt-get
[07:38] <Pirate_Hunter> Evanlec: hmm interesting very nice
[07:39] <dialntone> ubuntu's Deskto Effect isn't allowing rotation its' not doing it anymore
[07:39] <punsad> oops that was for fotoflo
[07:39] <marx2k> To extract a zip file with a single member, use a command like gunzip <foo.zip or
[07:39] <marx2k>        gunzip -S .zip foo.zip.  To extract zip files with several members, use unzip instead of gunzip.
[07:39] <dialntone> how do i reinstall it?
[07:39] <GNine> BIOS PnP setting deactivated. ESCD cleared. system still 100% operational. i even noticed a slight process (..) speed
[07:39] <z0rz> I'm using sysklogd to recieve logs from a remote client.  How do I specify where the client's log files are stored?  Currently they are being mixed in with my currnet system logs....
[07:39] <Veinor> for some reason, at least once a day, my computer almost totally freezes. I can still move the mouse, and even minimize things b clicking on the taskbar, and my wallpaper cron job ran on schedule, but nothing else works. could this be an issue with compiz-fusion, or is it an issue with my drivers?
[07:39] <marx2k> GNine: I bet youre imagining that :)
[07:39] <dystopianray> GNine: bios pnp probably only matters for ISA devices
[07:39] <dystopianray> GNine: there is no change in speed
[07:39] <fotoflo> what can i use for gzip on windows?
[07:39] <dystopianray> GNine: that is purely imaginary
[07:39] <marx2k> Veinor: can you reset the X server?
[07:40] <z0rz> fotoflo: 7zip.sf.net
[07:40] <GNine> wishful thinking here.. i need it.. go away
[07:40] <GNine> j/k
[07:40] <GNine> :-P
[07:40] <marx2k> :)
[07:40] <dystopianray> GNine: your changes are insignificant and irrelevant, they'll have no effect on linux
[07:40] <sven_oostenbrink> dystopianray, Im phoenixz again, just under other name.. but well, video seems to be working now but... now i dont have compiz-fusion anymore :(
[07:40] <stevenu> hi ... I am trying to install 7.04 on an dell inspiron 1520 from the alt install cd (as per the forums) but I get an error while trying to install the kernel into the target system
[07:40] <z0rz> fotoflo: http://sevenzip.sf.net
[07:40] <punsad> fotoflo: 7zip is great.  it can also unrar
[07:40] <fotoflo> will a standard ubuntu distrib unrar?
[07:40] <stevenu> can anyone help ?
[07:40] <GNine> i feel better tho
[07:40] <acetech> marx2k, do you think this is something that an asound configuration would be needed?
[07:40] <GNine> heh
[07:41] <z0rz> What should I give my sister for unzipping?
[07:41] <dystopianray> stevenu: you need to give us the error
[07:41] <dystopianray> z0rz: what is she unzipping?
[07:41] <marx2k> z0rz: a brassiere
[07:41] <marx2k> sorry, too easy
[07:41] <GNine> at least acpi is not acting up .. again
[07:41] <Veinor> marx2k: nothing short of ctrl-alt-sysrq works
[07:41] <marx2k> acetech: I wouldnt know :(
[07:41] <punsad> fotoflo: apt-cache search unrar ... indicates so
[07:41] <dn4> punsad, any idea on the smallest transistor gate length?
[07:41] <dn4> 6nm?
[07:41] <z0rz> marx2k, dystopianray: ,5
[07:41] <z0rz> err http://bash.org/?23601
[07:42] <stevenu> "an error was returned whil trying to install the kernel into the target system kernel package linux-generic
[07:42] <marx2k> Veinor: Hmmmm I had that problem a few months ago... I wonder... does it happen during network file transfers over NFS by any chance?
[07:42] <marx2k> Veinor: also, are you running compiz-fusion?
[07:42] <punsad> dn4: intel is working on ramping 45nm (this is .045um, a human hair is 250 um)
[07:42] <dystopianray> z0rz: what OS is she running and what file are you wanting to unzip?
[07:42] <stevenu> on the console 4 says exting on error base-installer/kernel/failed-install
[07:42] <marx2k> punsad: and yet, my garbageman can't collect the trash without leaving the bin in the street...amazing
[07:42] <z0rz> dystopianray: Nevermind.. I was kidding.
[07:43] <Veinor> marx2k: no and yes, in thar order.
[07:43] <patbam> hi, is there a gui thing for setting up tasks with gnome?
[07:43] <z0rz> But I would like to know how to change the location the sysklogd saves my remote logs
[07:43] <Pirate_Hunter> well ive learnt plenty today, quads are out which is amazing, learnt new things about dual core and amsn still not working even after clean install from synaptic, its early in the morning and i suffering from information overload so going back to bed im not a geek yet to live without sleep lol
[07:43] <punsad> dn4: they are working on 32nm.  AMD has 65nm in production
[07:43] <patbam> i mean, an interface for cron
[07:43] <z0rz> that*
[07:43] <Pirate_Hunter> Good Bye ppl
[07:43] <marx2k> Veinor: Im trying to remember how I fixed my issue... are you in Gnome on Feisty?
[07:43] <Veinor> marx2k: yes
[07:43] <dn4> punsad, ahh in production
[07:43] <Pirate_Hunter> Evanlec: see you next time i come on
[07:43] <marx2k> nvidia?? ati?
[07:43] <punsad> dn4: on windows... theres a great program called cpuz that tells you what technology node your cpu is
[07:44] <dn4> punsad, I was reading reports where IBM had a working 6nm transitor
[07:44] <marx2k> punsad: whats that mean?
[07:44] <marx2k> Whatever happened to the idea they had about making cpu cubes with 3 dimensions of circuitry?
[07:44] <punsad> dn4: getting one working is great.. for a working cpu, you need hundreds of millions on one chip
[07:44] <dystopianray> marx2k: it's still being researched
[07:45] <punsad> marx2k: what does what mean
[07:45] <marx2k> still?! This was like back in 95 or something
[07:45] <punsad> technology node?
[07:45] <marx2k> punsad: : "technology node"
[07:45] <Veinor> marx2k: could it be beryl/compiz? or could it be a driver issue?
[07:45] <GNine> chipset architecture?
[07:46] <marx2k> Veinor: Well, rule them out one by one... I'd suggest killing your .compiz config dor
[07:46] <marx2k> dir
[07:46] <stevenu> I am able to go back and try the install base system step again and it is asking about installing on an unclean target is that worth trying ?
[07:46] <punsad> the major technology nodes are like 0.18um, 0.090um, 0.065 um... again - this refers to gate length
[07:46] <Veinor> marx2k: or just using metacity instead?
[07:46] <stevenu> Or should I try the 7.10 betas ?
[07:46] <punsad> 0.090um for example = 90nm
[07:46] <magnetron> Hi! This channel is for support, #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. please join us in #ubuntu-offtopic!
[07:46] <marx2k> punsad:  why would you need to know that?
[07:47] <marx2k> Veinor: kill your compiz config dir
[07:47] <marx2k> then restart config
[07:47] <punsad> I don't need to.. It's my job... I'm a semiconductor process engineer
[07:47] <marx2k> I think thats how I did it, actually
[07:47] <Brazenhead> hey, was wondering if anyone could help me with a dual-linux dual-hdd boot... grub is complaining
[07:47] <Veinor> then restart what?
[07:47] <punsad> I will stop offtopic banter now
[07:47] <marx2k> punsad: well why would I need to know that?
[07:47] <marx2k> :D
[07:47] <z0rz> When are the message files rotated?
[07:47] <marx2k> Veinor: compiz
[07:48] <magnetron> punsad: please don't stop, continue it in #u-o
[07:48] <marx2k> via ALT+F2 and then "compiz --replace && emerald --replace"
[07:48] <z0rz> e.g. /var/log/messages is 2.7mb .. when does it turn into messages..1.gz ?
[07:48] <magnetron> !grub | Brazenhead
[07:48] <ubotu> Brazenhead: 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
[07:49] <GNine> punk
[07:49] <Brazenhead> ubotu: I'm not using windows... it's a ubuntustudio and an ubuntu install
[07:49] <Veinor> marx2k: ah, you think it might be one of the plugins or something?
[07:49] <marx2k> oh man how is it still 71F outside :(
[07:49] <Brazenhead> !grub
[07:49] <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
[07:49] <marx2k> Veinor: probably
[07:49] <marx2k> give it a shot
[07:49] <Veinor> will do
[07:49] <slackorama> when I run emacs in xterm via 'emacs -nw' it thinks I'm typing M-8 when I hit M-x.  emacs in windowed mode doesn't have this problem, nor does emacs -nw under gnome-terminal
[07:49] <marx2k> I think thats how I fixed my problem
[07:49] <doug__> how do i make xchat connect to a ircirc.p2p-network.net so i can join a chan not inside xchat?
[07:49] <tgelter> does grub work with Vista?
[07:50] <marx2k> I originally thought my mobo was overheating or something
[07:50] <marx2k> tgelter: yes
[07:50] <z0rz> Brazenhead: The easiest way I have found to do that is to boot a livecd such as sysrescuecd or gparted live (I had problems with the ubuntu live cd for some reason) .. and run gparted to look to see which drive has the boot flag.  If that drive is sdb2 then grub sees it as hd1,1 .. if it's sda1 then grub sees it as hd0,0
[07:50] <marx2k> doug__: /server <server>
[07:50] <tgelter> marx2k: thanks
[07:50] <doug__> marx2k:  thanks
[07:51] <Tigran> hey
[07:51] <QC_Failed> Is there anything I need to know before installing Wolfenstein enemy territory on Ubuntu Edgy?
[07:51] <Veinor> marx2k: is there any sort of log file I could check?
[07:51] <z0rz> Brazenhead: So after you find out which drive has the boot flag.. type grub.. and then at the grub prompt type root(hdX,X) and then type find /boot/grub/stage1 then type setup (hdX)
[07:51] <Tigran> I installed the new nvidia driver 100. something, and now when I boot up it says FAiled to start X server
[07:51] <marx2k> Veinor: I wish.. I spent days trying to track down a log file that would tell me the deal
[07:51] <z0rz> Brazenhead: Replace X with your drive
[07:51] <GNine> QC_Failed, this is feisty
[07:51] <Tigran> Is there any way to go back to previous driver
[07:52] <marx2k> Tigran: NVidia is funny that way... for some reason with the binary NVidia driver, I have to install it on every reboot
[07:52] <Brazenhead> thanks z0rz
[07:52] <marx2k> but Envy worked so I dont have to do that
[07:52] <marx2k> !tigran | envy
[07:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about tigran - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[07:52] <marx2k> !envy
[07:52] <ubotu> envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[07:52] <QC_Failed> GNine, Edgy is still supported
[07:52] <marx2k> aparrently I dont know how to use the bot :)
[07:52] <Brazenhead> z0rz: how can I boot into the grub prompt?
[07:52] <QC_Failed> And, I run Edgy
[07:53] <QC_Failed> Let me repeat my question:
[07:53] <Tigran> marx2k....what?
[07:53] <QC_Failed> Anyway, is there anything I need to know?
[07:53] <marx2k> Tigran: http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[07:53] <marx2k> It worked for me, but I cant garuantee it will work for you
[07:54] <marx2k> QC: WHats the question?
[07:54] <QC_Failed> I have a rock solid stable Xorg, gdm, and NVIDIA 100.14.19
[07:54] <QC_Failed> I understand
[07:54] <GNine> something about installing a game
[07:54] <QC_Failed> I was just asking for pointers
[07:54] <marx2k> QC_Failed: youre probably better off searching the forums for that
[07:55] <QC_Failed> I am nervous about installing a game on Linux for the first time
[07:55] <marx2k> Why?
[07:55] <marx2k> if it doesnt work, delete it :)
[07:55] <GNine> virgin.. sexy
[07:55] <QC_Failed> It is rumored that Linux doesn't support games
[07:55] <mindrape> he is afraid he'll get adidcted and never leave his house
[07:55] <marx2k> it supports games written for it :)
[07:55] <z0rz> Brazenhead: use a live cd.  Again, I suggest http://systemrescuecd.sf.net or http://gparted.sf.net (get the live cd) .. if you must boot from the Ubuntu CD then you'll need to follow this guide: :
[07:55] <Veinor> i also decided to add a launcher that runs 'killall x-session-manager' to see if that works
[07:55] <z0rz> Sweet way to leave Brazenhead
[07:55] <BlogueroConnor> hello, I read JeOS announcement in Ubuntu page but there is no download link. Where is it?
[07:56] <QC_Failed> HOwever I know in the last two years Linux has come a very long way... I used to not even be able to get my screen resolution working, but Ubuntu gave me 3D Acceleration and a lot of stuff just worked out of the box
[07:56] <marx2k> Veinor: Im thinking removing the default config dir and restarting compiz will do it for you
[07:56] <magnetron> BlogueroConnor: it will be released together with Gutsy if i remember correctly
[07:56] <marx2k> QC, I would suggest just trying it.. its not like it will kill your system or anything
[07:56] <BlogueroConnor> magnetron, so in October?
[07:56] <QC_Failed> I hear Gusty has no proprietary driver support
[07:56] <Tigran> marx2k: what do I put for generic in sudo apt-get install linux-generic
[07:56] <QC_Failed> Is that true?
[07:56] <magnetron> BlogueroConnor: October 18
[07:57] <Tigran> its ubuntu feisty 7.04
[07:57] <magnetron> QC_Failed: it has
[07:57] <BlogueroConnor> magnetron, thanx
[07:57] <GNine> neither does feisty or .. edgy
[07:57] <marx2k> Tigran: Umm....
[07:57] <QC_Failed> I am going to upgrade to Fiesty very soon (before Gusty)
[07:57] <Veinor> ok, hopefully this'll work
[07:57] <magnetron> !offtopic
[07:57] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[07:57] <marx2k> Im not sure what youre tyring to do
[07:57] <QC_Failed> I don't want to loose my update support
[07:57] <Veinor> and if it doesn't, we'll see if gutsy fixes it
[07:57] <Tigran> nvm marx2k
[07:58] <marx2k> ok :)
[07:58] <Veinor> it doesn't seem to be freezing when i'm not using it, maybe that's a sign
[07:58] <marx2k> Veinor: its probably a setting you have/had in the config
[07:58] <GNine> gutsy got me  nervous with that report of having compiz integrated...
[07:58] <GNine> :-/
[07:58] <marx2k> Tigran: "uname -r"
[07:58] <QC_Failed> I would prefer Compiz be off by default
[07:59] <magnetron> GNine: please join us in #ubuntu-offtopic :D
[07:59] <marx2k> QC: Same here
[07:59] <Tigran> yea marx2k, i saw it after i asked
[07:59] <GNine> am a decepticon too , magnetron
[07:59] <Tigran> marx2k: but it says package now found
[07:59] <QC_Failed> Ubuntu is getting to the point where stuff I only dreamed about last summer is going to be available to the masses without the need for editing any config files
[07:59] <marx2k> Tigran: not sure :(
[07:59] <antler> starscreams rocks
[07:59] <antler> starscream*

[07:59] <marx2k> dont forget to restart compiz
[08:00] <Veinor> i did
[08:00] <QC_Failed> I remember Daper 6.06.1 LTS with XGL and a special GDM session to run a broken Beryl
[08:00] <Tigran> I screwed it up before I printed homework...lol
[08:01] <OrTigaS> uy
[08:01] <QC_Failed> Do any of you remeber when you had to work hard to get the Cube working?
[08:01] <QC_Failed> i.e. manually make changes to make it work?
[08:03] <QC_Failed> Is there any way to run Macintosh Apps on Ubuntu?
[08:03] <Tigran> marx2k: any other way to fix this?
[08:04] <chris_> has anyone used moto4lin?
[08:05] <orb> hey I'm trying to install some nvidia drivers but when I do it says X has to be closed to install them.  how do I close X to install the drivers?
[08:06] <dystopianray> orb: you shouldn't need to close X to install drivers
[08:06] <Tigran> marx2k: OH YEA
[08:06] <orb> hrm well that's what it says

[08:06] <marx2k> oh... yeah... ok :)
[08:06] <marx2k> excellent :)
[08:07] <marx2k> did Envy do it for you?
[08:07] <Tigran> yea
[08:07] <marx2k> yeah it works for me every time too
[08:07] <marx2k> I love it
[08:07] <Tigran> How do I check what video driver I have?
[08:07] <marx2k> ummm

[08:09] <orb> so how do I close X
[08:09] <chris_> has anyone used moto4lin?
[08:09] <marx2k> orb: close X and try it again
[08:09] <dystopianray> orb: or find a way to make it ignore that check
[08:09] <dystopianray> orb: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[08:09] <z0rz> When you right click an iso file.. what's it say excatly about burning? (I'm documenting soething and my ubuntu box doesn't have a burner)
[08:09] <marx2k> orb: ALT+CTRL+F1 and type "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop"
[08:09] <orb> shit i closed the wrong terminal, what was that command to close X again?

[08:12] <bbryant> cups keeps giving the error cupsdAuthorize: Local authentication certificate not found!
[08:13] <ArmedKing> Can i ask a Question about nvidia drivers from nvidia.com please?
[08:13] <marx2k> Danavas: from or to?
[08:13] <Danavas> from
[08:13] <marx2k> orb: thats your TTY terminal
[08:13] <Zorlin> I think you follow that guide to put it on a thumbdrive...
[08:13] <Zorlin> and then you boot into the thumbdrive
[08:13] <fermatstheorem> !nv
[08:13] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[08:13] <Danavas> i have no blank cds and am doing an ubuntu reinstall
[08:13] <Zorlin> and type sudo apt-get.. erm
[08:13] <fermatstheorem> ArmedKing: !nv
[08:13] <Zorlin> the name of the installer, lemme think of it
[08:13] <Zorlin> !installer
[08:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about installer - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[08:13] <orb_> marx2k: well I pressed it before reading your stuff
[08:13] <Danavas> from windwos
[08:13] <Danavas> unfortunately
[08:13] <marx2k> orb: heh
[08:13] <marx2k> orb: log into there and kill your x server
[08:14] <marx2k> or you might want to try the Envy script...
[08:14] <Zorlin> Ooh. :P
[08:14] <orb_> how do you kill an x server
[08:14] <ArmedKing> fermatstheorem: Sorry but my Hardware is not yet supported by any of the usual nvidia drivers in Linux so i have to use the nvidia.com drivers
[08:14] <marx2k> http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[08:14] <fermatstheorem> marx2k: wowo let us not get all violent...
[08:14] <chris_> moto....4.....lin....
[08:14] <marx2k> kekeke
[08:14] <marx2k> oh man.. I cant believe I used kekeke
[08:14] <fermatstheorem> ArmedKing: ok
[08:14] <marx2k> time to get off of here and go jog a little
[08:14] <AzMoo[w] > Can anybody recommend a pci scsi raid card that doesn't suck? I've got this adaptec thing at the moment which apparently only pretends it's hardware raid.
[08:14] <Zorlin> Here: http://pendrivelinux.com/2007/01/25/usb-x-ubuntu-610
[08:14] <fermatstheorem> ArmedKing: it is quite an elaborate process..
[08:15] <ArmedKing> I succesfully installed Nvidia drivers from nvidia.com in Ubuntu Fiesty Fawn. I have one problem tho. Every time i do a Hard Reboot the driver is lost and i have to reinstall it from terminal each time i do that.
[08:15] <Zorlin> Try that guide for the pendrive... then you just have to install the actual installer from Apt.
[08:15] <lubica> lubica.c
[08:15] <ArmedKing> fermatstheorem: Yeah tell me about it :p
[08:15] <marx2k> ArmedKing: http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[08:15] <fermatstheorem> ArmedKing: did you recompile the kernel to include the nv modules?
[08:15] <AzMoo[w] > ArmedKing: add the module to /etc/modules
[08:16] <ArmedKing> Guys, my hardware doesnt work with nv ;-) module name for nvidia.com drivers is nvidia
[08:16] <fermatstheorem> has anybody installed ubuntu in macbok pro successfuly
[08:17] <fermatstheorem> ArmedKing: put that module in the /etc/modules as told by AzMoo[w]  and edit your xorg.conf to put "nvidia" instead of watever is there
[08:18] <ArmedKing> K i'll give it a go, Tnx for the support even tho it's not the ubuntu way of doing it.
[08:18] <fermatstheorem> ArmedKing: it is the linux way of doing it. compile a device drive,r put it in the modules directory and edit the required conf file
[08:19] <linuxemacs> does anybody can type capital characters in tty?(ubuntu 7.04)
[08:20] <leladia> pls where do i find cshrc in ubuntu 7.04

[08:20] <linuxemacs> you must create it by yourself, i think.
[08:20] <leladia> i installed csh

[08:28] <ArmedKing> marx2k: Tnx dude, That envy script did the trick ;-)
[08:29] <linuxemacs> yes, the caps lock led is light.
[08:29] <faileas> techone: used it a fair bit.. or you can try #vmware
[08:30] <linuxemacs> my laptop is thinkpad t60. kernel is 2.20.x. ubuntu 7.04
[08:31] <techone> ok, problem is the inital load
[08:32] <faileas> techone: you mean the installation?
[08:32] <samri> does anyone here use HellaNZB?
[08:32] <techone> yes, loaded fine on my desktop, but on my laptop it says cpu not supported for long scrpit
[08:32] <techone> hence the 32 version and 64 bit
[08:32] <meezyfuh> hey, does anyone know a good mud client for gnome?
[08:33] <techone> but the laptop is a AMD 64 x2
[08:33] <faileas> long script? o0
[08:33] <faileas> you mean 64 bit support?
[08:33] <techone> yes, says to revert back to 32 bit distrobution
[08:33] <ogamiitto> Evolution mail is unable to filter any singles spam message, i've been training it for months, but no spam filtering, any clues?
[08:33] <nas_> no one able to answer me about hp printer 3 in 1
[08:34] <faileas> that needs (for amd) a pacifica enabled chip
[08:34] <orb> okay so I'm trying to reconfigure X cause the drivers are all fucked up but every time I try to run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg it gives me the error "Package `xserver-xorg' is not installed and no info is available."
[08:34] <techone> interesting
[08:34] <meezyfuh> ill probably just install wine and run a windows mud client
[08:34] <faileas> or a VT enabled intel
[08:35] <orb> does anyone know how to fix this problem?
[08:35] <faileas> techone: wouldn't happen to be dualbooting would you? there's a test app vmware has, but its windows only
[08:35] <techone> no
[08:35] <techone> too much of a pain
[08:35] <tigerz> hi guys, any one has problem with gnome-terminal on gusty?
[08:36] <orb> wtf how can it tell me xserver-xorg isn't installed if I'm running X right now
[08:36] <techone> yeah well thats what I wanted to do is use vmware to run it off of
[08:36] <penguincentral> !language | orb
[08:36] <ubotu> orb: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.

[08:37] <orb> sorryy, but I just don't understand linux at all
[08:37] <orb> it's extremely frustrating
[08:37] <tigerz> thanks
[08:37] <ArmedKing> orb: What if you install the package?
[08:37] <orb> i tried,
[08:37] <techone> yes, but should I be running vmware player or another one of there apps
[08:37] <nickname632> Hello all,
[08:37] <mindrape> orb - buy a book...
[08:37] <orb> sudo apt-get install xserver-org
[08:37] <orb> didn't work
[08:37] <vancomycin> hi i was wonder - on occasion, i notice my laptop screen flicker for a split second - it happens every now and then - just curious as to what might be causing this? i haven't installed any themes (i.e. from gnome-look / or compiz fusion) however, i do have the wobble and cube enabled from the fiesty desktop effects option. i am using the nvidia restricted drivers which i selected from the system option - i am on a intell core 2 duo
[08:37] <vancomycin> 2.0 ghz laptop w/ 1gb ram and using a nvidia geforce 7600go w/ 256mb dedicated ram - 3d rendering in terminal said "yes" when i checked - the forum search didn't provide me with an exact reason as to why this might happen - i'm a first time user running on a dual boot w/ xp. any ideas or suggestions?
[08:37] <dystopianray> orb: what was the error?
[08:37] <nickname632> WTF spam
[08:38] <samri> nobody using HellaNZB? Doh =/
[08:38] <penguincentral> orb: it takes time to learn it. i recommend The Linux Bible for a book.
[08:38] <diabolik> salut tout le monde
[08:38] <orb> dystopianray: a lot of errors about dependencies on other things.  here's an example: The following packages have unmet dependencies:

[08:38] <nickname632> le monde
[08:38] <dystopianray> orb: pastebin it
[08:38] <orb> dystopianray: what's pastebin
[08:38] <BernieMac> vancomycin, could be the effects, the seem to real wreak havoc on certain things
[08:38] <dystopianray> !pastebin | orb
[08:38] <ubotu> orb: 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)
[08:38] <ArmedKing> orb then first install linux-image-2.6.20-15-generic

[08:39] <nickname632> I said it first !
[08:39] <byonix> anyone can help me to make my php code connect to mysql database
[08:39] <nickname632> learn mysql?
[08:39] <orb> ArmedKing: I just tried that, and it asks me to insert the fiesty fawn cd, which I do, and I press enter and it just keeps telling me to insert it
[08:40] <orb> ArmedKing: actually hold on
[08:40] <dystopianray> byonix: have you installed and setup mysql?
[08:40] <techone> I recommend xampp
[08:40] <techone> simple and yet works
[08:40] <vancomycin> hey BernieMac how are you - bossmanbeta and another friend helped me run those partitions w/ gparted and i've been up and running the last few days, loving the new os :)  been reading alot of the how to's and just exploring around - but yeah i think it might be the desktop effects, lets say i install this compiz-fusion , how's the stability of that coming along i read that it'll be included in the 18th october release of gibson/
[08:41] <nickname632> goodbye
[08:42] <capn_heasbiter> vancomycin: gutsy ;p
[08:42] <BernieMac> vancomycin, glad to hear it all worked out for you!! I'm not sure about them, lots of people run them so I would think they are fairly stable, I would almost suggest just waiting a month and getting them with the update, then you know they will be pretty stable.
[08:42] <bluefox83> ok, that was some serious weirdness
[08:42] <vancomycin> it's just i like the multiple fast switching of the workspace - dunno, but from what you mentioned - that could be the reason - i am going to disable it for a few minutes and see if that resolves the problem BernieMac
[08:42] <BernieMac> vancomycin, you might want to check the #ubuntu-effects channel, they would probably know more in there
[08:43] <linuxemacs> no, when i typing caps characters i only press down the caps lock key then press any alpha keys.
[08:43] <bluefox83> i had a think coming up in my terminal windows (all of them) saying repeatedly that there was a kernel problem and that a reboot was needed
[08:43] <byonix> dystopianray: correctly, all the LAMP is good, i just can see my inputed data in my form inside my database
[08:43] <bluefox83> it was coming up repeatedly like crazy
[08:43] <BernieMac> vancomycin, I agree, I like my cube. I really like the ability to drag stuff from one workspace to another, doesn't work with the cube off...
[08:43] <dystopianray> byonix: what do you mean you can see it?

[08:44] <bluefox83> what the hell is that? anyone know?
[08:45] <vancomycin> right BernieMac - thanks for the channel link .i'll inquire there in a bit, i disabled the effects for now to see if that is the reason for the occocasional flicker - it's a very subtle one - not darkening the screen or fading out - just like a power spike sort of flicker - pardon my weak description hehe
[08:45] <BernieMac> vancomycin, I know what you are talking about, I have seen it a couple times
[08:45] <decaffeinated> Strange issue...  I can't start Ubuntu with the default boot option in GRUB, but I can get everything working fine if I go through recovery mode and telinit 3.
[08:46] <kikr> how is ubuntu on toshiba tablet pc's?
[08:46] <esotericlove> damn ubuntu, damn you to hell
[08:46] <Prez_> has someone gotten fingerprint reader working on x60s?
[08:46] <decaffeinated> I want to blame the Nvidia driver since I'm using an 8800, but everything (including Compiz) works fine if I log in through the recovery console option.

[08:47] <meezyfuh> hi, i would like a good mud client that works in gnome. there are currently none on synaptic. any ideas?
[08:47] <meezyfuh> also, how do you install a .deb file?
[08:47] <esotericlove> o wow lol
[08:47] <dystopianray> meezyfuh: should be able to just click on debs to install them
[08:48] <esotericlove> if you cant find stuff, install trevino's COMPLETE sources.list
[08:48] <esotericlove> that answers tha last two qustions
[08:48] <benanzo|mobile> Meezy just doubleclick
[08:48] <BernieMac> vancomycin, good luck with getting that all worked out, I need to get to sleep, class at 9 lol
[08:48] <neighbors> I just installed ubuntu on a machine and when it rebooted for the first time it gets to "Starting Up..." after grub runs and then it reboots
[08:48] <neighbors> anybody know what's up with that?
[08:48] <meezyfuh> dystopianray, what is the command for shell? Just curious
[08:48] <neighbors> it happens every time
[08:48] <bluefox83> where are the syslogs kept?
[08:48] <esotericlove> dont know neighbors, tat sounds awfully frustrating
[08:48] <bluefox83> in /var/log/?
[08:48] <dystopianray> meezyfuh: sudo dpkg -i blah.deb
[08:48] <meezyfuh> thx. any idea a good mud client?
[08:48] <dystopianray> bluefox83: that's right
[08:49] <esotericlove> install pclinuxos, its easier to use than ubuntu
[08:49] <neighbors> it certainly is frustrating :/
[08:49] <vancomycin> thanks BernieMac - yeah i am going to play around with a couple themes and crash - catch you soon!
[08:49] <esotericlove> give pclinuxos a try, its so damn fun and fast
[08:49] <linuxemacs> does any body can help me about how to type caps characters in ttyp(press alt+fx) mode?
[08:50] <BernieMac> vancomycin, I'm sure I'll be here, seems like I'm here or in class.... hmm....might want to think about doing homework somewhere in between
[08:50] <penguincentral> BernieMac: what a great idea ;)
[08:50] <BernieMac> penguincentral, but where is the fun in that?!
[08:51] <bluefox83> dystopianray, i just discovered a very straaaange error in my syslog, know anything about kswapd ?
[08:51] <penguincentral> BernieMac: trust me, any teacher will kick your ass (not literally of course) if you don't do homework
[08:51] <penguincentral> i know first-hand
[08:51] <penguincentral> ;)
[08:51] <esotericlove> seems like a lotta questions here and no answers
[08:51] <esotericlove> people should take it to the forums
[08:51] <BernieMac> penguincentral, welcome to college where it isn't collected.... lol, just shows on the tests and whatnot
[08:51] <dystopianray> bluefox83: pastebin the error
[08:51] <meezyfuh> thanks for your help, sirs
[08:52] <bluefox83> dystopianray, k

[09:10] <h1st0> orb: it has to be there or you didn't enable the repo
[09:10] <wlubin> I attempted to install ubuntu onto my winblow laptop but I could not figure out how to make it dual boot
[09:10] <dystopianray> bluefox83: add them one at a time
[09:10] <Huey> i know ubuntu prefers to use the UUID of a partition in /etc/fstab. However, I created a new filesystem, which changed the UUID. How do I find this value, so i can fstab and have the partition automounted?
[09:10] <orb> hlst0: what's repo?
[09:10] <h1st0> orb: repository were the software is that it downloads and installs.
[09:10] <wlubin> it did not seem to give me the option to find the free space and  stick ubuntu onto it
[09:10] <dystopianray> Huey: sudo vol_id /dev/blah
[09:11] <bluefox83> dystopianray, as i add them, shoudl another box appear to add more? otherwise they will have like 5 different posts from me
[09:11] <h1st0> orb: Open up sources again and make sure its checked then close that out and try again.
[09:11] <coffeelzp> sb
[09:11] <dystopianray> bluefox83: just add them as separate posts
[09:11] <orb> hlst0: just did... I can show you a screenshot if you want :(
[09:11] <dystopianray> bluefox83: or maybe tar them up
[09:11] <h1st0> !uuid
[09:11] <ubotu> 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)

[09:12] <orb> hlst0: ugh maybe I need to reformat and reinstall ubuntu :'( on 750 GB HDD it takes forever
[09:13] <h1st0> wlubin: basically defrag your windows drive then resize it to leave some free space on the drive.  Then pop in the ubuntu cd and install ubuntu.
[09:13] <dystopianray> orb: put ubuntu on it's own smaller partition
[09:13] <h1st0> orb: no you don't need to do that.
[09:13] <orb> It's already on a partition anyways, i'm dual booting
[09:13] <h1st0> orb: can you paste bin yoru /etc/apt/sources.list

[09:16] <dystopianray> nas_: what is your request?
[09:16] <nas_> i think i am leaving the chat no profit at all
[09:16] <h1st0> What did he do to his sources list?
[09:16] <bluefox83> dystopianray, you think i should reboot like the error says, or leave my machine running?
[09:17] <jombee> he might have them in sources.d
[09:17] <h1st0> He did something bad to it.
[09:17] <jombee> orb do you have directories under /etc/apt/
[09:17] <dystopianray> nas_: state your request again
[09:17] <jombee> and if so what are they
[09:17] <dystopianray> bluefox83: might be best to reboot
[09:18] <bluefox83> dystopianray, it couldn't be anything like someone trying to attack my machine or something would it?
[09:18] <rzimek78> hey, where is inittab file in Ubuntu? in /etc there is no inittab file :(
[09:18] <jombee> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37877/
[09:18] <jombee> orb copy that to your sources.list
[09:18] <dystopianray> bluefox83: the kswapd error? no i very much doubt thats anything to do with a remote attack
[09:18] <bluefox83> dystopianray, ok. thanks
[09:19] <bluefox83> i guess i'll just reboot and see if it happens again
[09:19] <rockets> When I use pulseaudio even with the Esd compat library, i cant get any sound from vlc, please help!
[09:19] <bluefox83> although since i closed amarok, the problem has stopped...
[09:20] <h1st0> maybe amarok was trying to root you. :)

[09:22] <jombee> doesn't look like it
[09:22] <dystopianray> Ralfee: what is the problem?

[09:28] <vancomycin> i'm trying to remove a theme folder i dragged into the gnome-theme-manager - it didn't load properly b/c i didn't install in properly :( anyways, i am trying to remove it and it wont go away (it's not loaded) i went to /usr/share/gdm /themes and it's not in there, and nothing in my /home/name folder - when in terminal i run : sudo gnome-theme-manager i get this error : (gnome-theme-manager:10833):   GLib-CRITICAL **: g_hash_table_fo
[09:28] <vancomycin> reach: assertion `hash_table != NULL' failed
[09:28] <vancomycin>  and when i click on the the broken theme : (gnome-theme-manager:10833): capplet-common-WARNING **: Could not open file "(null)"
[09:28] <vancomycin>  where is this file?
[09:28] <h1st0> orb: click on teh download text file link on the pastebin page.  Then you can sudo cp /file/you/downloaded /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:29] <h1st0> vancomycin: its in your home
[09:29] <Ralfee> lost connection
[09:29] <Kazuhiro> Anyone got some experience with iozone filesystem bench marking?
[09:29] <vancomycin> h1st0, it's not there man
[09:29] <vancomycin> i looked
[09:29] <vancomycin> no themes folder
[09:29] <h1st0> vancomycin: in a hidden directory hit ctrl + h in nautilus to see all the hidden folders in your home.
[09:29] <xipietotec> vancomycin, themes which fail to load correctly aren't saved under their name
[09:29] <vancomycin> i didn't install it properly
[09:29] <Ralfee> I am on ubuntu site what version in gutsy?
[09:29] <vinboy> hi
[09:30] <vinboy> how do i play real video 4.0?
[09:30] <h1st0> !gusty > Ralfee
[09:30] <jombee> ralfee 7.10
[09:30] <QueenAnya> can anyone help me?? :(
[09:30] <h1st0> !real > vinboy
[09:30] <xipietotec> vancomycin, its saved under a file with a nondescriptive alphanumeric name
[09:30] <h1st0> !ask | QueenAnya
[09:30] <ubotu> QueenAnya: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[09:30] <Kazuhiro> Hi all, I have some questions about benchmarking a large raid5 array using iozone. And how to accurately measure disk io speeds. I am currently getting two extreme ends of results when testing, some very nice speeds, then some very slow speeds.
[09:30] <xipietotec> so ap0310 or z45g, or something along those lines, just something other than Human or circles or happygnome, etc.
[09:30] <Kazuhiro> In some instances of iozone I am seeing write speeds of 422mb sec, 150-160mb a sec then 35-37mb a sec write speeds.
[09:30] <Ralfee> where can i down load it? link please?
[09:30] <vancomycin> oh i see now - xipietotec and h1st0 ...
[09:30] <h1st0> Kazuhiro: multiple tests and take an average
[09:31] <xipietotec> vancomycin, it might also be a hidden file
[09:31] <QueenAnya> h1st0: I did but no one responded...I am having trouble getting earthlink mail to work on eveloution mail... it keeps having errors or saying my password is inncorect
[09:31] <h1st0> Ralfee: read the message from ubotu
[09:31] <orb> h1st0: sry I really suck at linux, let's say I saved the txt download as sources.list on my Desktop, now what exactly do I enter in the terminal to copy it to the apt directory?
[09:31] <jombee> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/gutsy/tribe-5/
[09:31] <h1st0> QueenAnya: you need to follow earthlinks setup proceedures for their pop3 and smtp.  Perhaps they use smtp auth etc...
[09:32] <vancomycin> what i am trying to remove is when i copied this folder "neutronium gilouche" just to see what would happen -
[09:32] <h1st0> orb: sudo cp /home/orb/Desktop/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:32] <Ralfee> gutsy i got it
[09:32] <jombee> orb in a terminal sudo cp ~/sources.list /etc/apt/
[09:32] <h1st0> orb: make sure the file doesn't have all the line numbers in it.
[09:32] <xipietotec> orb, sudo cp /path/to/your/sources.list /etc/apt/
[09:32] <Ralfee> Do I get tribe 5 test release?
[09:32] <vancomycin> but where or what it's named  is the question in when hitting ctrl-h
[09:32] <xipietotec> make sure you change the file extension from sources.list.txt or whatever to sources.list
[09:32] <h1st0> Ralfee: Stop asking about it in here.  READ THE MESSAGE FROM THE BOT
[09:32] <Kazuhiro> h1st0, is it typical to see very good performance with tests of file sizes upto 4x the memory buffer on the raid card, then really slow down after the file size being tested is much larger?
[09:32] <jombee> Ralfee yes
[09:33] <QueenAnya> h1st0: I have been trying everything.. contacting earthlink but they told me they cant help... and I have reset it up at least five times already and each time the same thing happens
[09:33] <h1st0> QueenAnya: hold on a sec.
[09:33] <orb> h1st0: okay I did that
[09:33] <sauvin> I'm talking to a blind person who wants to use the ubuntu livecd to check it out for suitability to his needs. Can anybody tell me what provisions in this regard are made on the livecd?
[09:33] <Pulah> hiks ...

[09:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about accessability - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[09:34] <h1st0> orb: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-`uname -r`
[09:34] <Pulah> why i can't start this computer before 11:00
[09:34] <glock> help me to instal fx5200 on ubuntu 6.06 please
[09:34] <xipietotec> !accessibility
[09:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about accessibility - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[09:35] <orb> h1st0: still says can't find package
[09:35] <Ralfee> Um ok ,bot says spelled gutsy thats it ! was i supost to see more than that hlsto?
[09:35] <vancomycin> xipietotec, where in this hidden directory list would i look for anything that i would have dragged into the gnome theme manager?
[09:35] <h1st0> orb: wth
[09:35] <orb> h1st0: i know right
[09:35] <h1st0> orb: are you sure your copied the sources.list properly
[09:35] <vancomycin> xipietotec, i dont see a themes folder
[09:35] <orb> h1st0: yeah because i checked the file and it matches the one i downloaded
[09:35] <Ralfee> hlst0 your an arttard!
[09:35] <h1st0> orb: does it have a whole bunch of numbers in front of each line?
[09:36] <orb> h1st0: for the update yeah
[09:36] <xipietotec> vancomycin, you have a themes folder under /usr/share/gdm/themes/ in that folder will be the themes installed (this folder does exist, as you have gdm themes installed by default)
[09:36] <orb> h1st0 oh the sources file
[09:36] <h1st0> orb: yes check it and see if there are line numbers in front of each line.  We don't want those there.
[09:36] <orb> h1st0: yeah it's got the ##'s
[09:36] <h1st0> orb: not # sign but line numbers
[09:37] <orb> h1st0: no line numbers
[09:37] <rockets> how can i set the variable FLASH_FORCE_PULSEAUDIO=1 permanently, systemwide for all users
[09:37] <h1st0> orb: hrm...
[09:37] <h1st0> orb: are you connected to the internet on that machine?
[09:37] <xipietotec> sauvin, I forgot the link, if you go into #ubuntu-accessibility someone should be able to tell you the instructions for starting up ubuntu for the blind
[09:37] <orb> h1st0: uh yeah how else would i be talking to you ;)
[09:37] <h1st0> orb: didnt' know if you were using a different machine or not.
[09:37] <orb> h1st0: k
[09:37] <h1st0> orb: try the restricted drivers manager again and let me know the error
[09:37] <vancomycin> xipietotec, yes you are right, i went into there to look first - but didn't see anything in there execpt for the default themes initially that i saw from the manager - i just have this one other one which i want to erase but cant remove from the manager itself - and that error message happens everytime i load the manager from terminal
[09:38] <sauvin> xipietotec, THANK YOU.
[09:38] <orb> You need to install the package
[09:38] <orb>   linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20-16-generic
[09:38] <orb> for this program to work.
[09:38] <h1st0> orb: and then what does it do?
[09:38] <xipietotec> vancomycin, remove it via the command line
[09:38] <orb> h1st0: there's a button for close... that's it
[09:38] <MartinW> On the thunderbird website the latest version is 2.0 but in synaptic the latest version is 1.5 (even after reloading). What am I doing wrong?
[09:38] <xipietotec> go into the theme directory then sudo rm -rf themename
[09:39] <h1st0> orb: can you paste bin your new sources.list again now.  This is kind of hard to believe now.  Make sure you copied it to /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:39] <jombee> MartinW the new version probably just isn't in the repos yet
[09:39] <MartinW> I use the south african repro, should I try the main one?
[09:39] <h1st0> MartinW: New versions of software don't get released like that.
[09:39] <linuxemacs> does anyone known when distribute linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22 ?
[09:39] <orb> h1st0: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37879/
[09:39] <hmhowie> rockets: you could add it to /etc/profile
[09:40] <QueenAnya> h1st0: thanks for helping me I will try it out
[09:40] <william__> if i update my kernel, do i need to update everything else?
[09:40] <MartinW> How do they get released then?
[09:40] <vancomycin> how shall i type that? all i see it's called is "neutronium gilouche" xipietotec
[09:40] <rockets> hmhowie, so in /etc/profile put export FLASH_FORCE_PULSEAUDIO=1
[09:40] <rockets> ?
[09:40] <h1st0> orb: paste bin the output of sudo apt-get update
[09:40] <hmhowie> william__: probably not
[09:40] <orb> h1st0: okay i'll update again
[09:40] <orb> h1st0: adctually i have the old one up i'll just pastebing that one
[09:40] <dystopianray> MartinW: you'll get new software versions when you upgrade to gutsy
[09:41] <h1st0> MartinW: check in backports
[09:41] <hmhowie> rockets: that would probably do the trick. why do you want to do this anyway, if i may be so curious.?
[09:41] <xipietotec> vancomycin, in the terminal type cd /usr/bin/gdm/themes it should then change you to that directory, then type sudo rm -rf then hit neu and press the tab key and it'll auto-complete the name for you
[09:41] <william__> i'm just wondering about jack, and freebob/ffado
[09:41] <orb> h1st0: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37880/
[09:41] <MartinW> Oh. ok
[09:41] <h1st0> !backports | MartinW
[09:41] <ubotu> MartinW: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging
[09:41] <william__> i dont know...  i'm following these instructions http://subversion.ffado.org/index.fcgi/wiki/InstallOnUbuntuFeisty
[09:41] <william__> and installed the realtime feisty kernel, and headers
[09:41] <rockets> hmhowie, because its the only way to get flash sound to work with pulse audio. FLASH_FORCE_PULSEAUDIO=1
[09:42] <MartinW> !packaging

[09:42] <william__> at first, i definitely had to make uninstall and make install ndiswrapper again for wifi
[09:42] <william__> and it works again
[09:42] <jombee> orb have you tried searching synaptic for the driver you need
[09:42] <orb> jombee: wtf is synaptic
[09:42] <william__> but i was worried that the issues i'm having with jack/freebob could be related to that kernel update
[09:42] <xipietotec> .....why would you be trying to install ubuntu on a kernel optimized for realtimeOS?
[09:42] <william__> orb: synaptic is a package manager
[09:42] <h1st0> orb: what is the output of uname -r
[09:42] <jombee> synaptic is a graphical version of apt
[09:43] <nanonyme> on of many
[09:43] <orb> h1st0: what do yo umean
[09:43] <nanonyme> one of even
[09:43] <william__> xipietotec: me?
[09:43] <orb> jombee: how would i go about searching for it
[09:43] <xipietotec> william__, yes
[09:43] <hmhowie> rockets: shouldn't that be some sort of local configuration for firefox? i dunno. try shutting your webbrowser, opening a console and typing the following:
[09:43] <william__> xipietotec:  it was recommended here, http://subversion.ffado.org/index.fcgi/wiki/InstallOnUbuntuFeisty
[09:43] <jombee> orb type sudo apt-get install synaptic
[09:43] <vancomycin> xipietotec, bash: cd: /usr/bin/gdm/themes: No such file or directory
[09:43] <vancomycin> 
[09:43] <h1st0> orb: type uname -r in a terminal
[09:43] <jombee> then it will be on your administration list
[09:43] <h1st0> jombee: no
[09:43] <kuja> I installed Kubuntu 7.04 (amd64), but I can't seem to figure out on my own, or with Google (even if my life depended on it) .. just *how* I can make Firefox either 1) inherit KDE's anti-aliasing or 2) inherit GNOME's anti-aliasing.  For other GTK apps, I have made them inherit GNOME's font settings (incluiding anti-aliasing).. but it would appear that Firefox and Thunderbird are too special.  Anyone got an idea?
[09:43] <h1st0> jombee: he has synaptic
[09:43] <william__> as i'm trying to get very low latency performance from audio through jack/freebob
[09:43] <hmhowie> FLASH_FORCE_PULSE_AUDIO=1
[09:44] <hmhowie> export FLASH_FORCE_PULSE_AUDIO
[09:44] <hmhowie> firefox
[09:44] <kuja> Even if I run Firefox from GNOME, it still doesn't have anti-aliasing (same with Thunderbird).
[09:44] <orb> h1st0: it says 2.6.20-16-generic
[09:44] <h1st0> orb: and sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r`
[09:44] <xipietotec> ah, okay I see for a jack server
[09:44] <h1st0> orb: that will work
[09:44] <william__> yeah... anyway...  was worried that i'd have to recompile all of that
[09:45] <orb> h1st0: okay that's definitely doing SOMETHING lol
[09:45] <william__> and i'm not 100% about whether jack, and freebob/ffado as well, were installed with aptitude or compiled from src
[09:45] <h1st0> orb: I don't understand why the restrcited manager can't handle that.
[09:45] <orb> h1st0: aids?
[09:45] <xipietotec> nope, just your kernel usually, although if you have programs that were optimized for a different kernel you may have problems, but that should only be a problem if you installed from source, I doubt they'd be reccommending it if you had to use a whole new set of binaries
[09:45] <nonoerruei> a
[09:45] <Zasch> Hello. What is a good bittorrent program for Linux?
[09:46] <kuja> Zasch: I personally like Azureus.
[09:46] <xipietotec> Zasch, Deulge or ktorrent
[09:46] <h1st0> jombee: When we are trying to help someone in irc its easier to give them console commands.  Than trying to explain click here then here then do this.
[09:46] <dystopianray> Zasch: ktorrent or rtorrent
[09:46] <orb> h1st0: okay that worked :D so when I go to restricted drivers there's "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver"  and that's the only one... doesn't even say it's specfiic to the 8800 lol do I use that?
[09:46] <xipietotec> deluge even
[09:46] <panzer> howto  go in ubuntu  es ?
[09:46] <xipietotec> Azureus crashes alot and uses too much ram
[09:46] <h1st0> orb: it should work... If not there are ways to fix it.
[09:47] <nonoerruei> e
[09:47] <kuja> xipietotec: Oh?  I'm sorry, I've never experienced either of the issues you say exist within Azureus.
[09:47] <h1st0> panzer: /j #ubuntu-es
[09:47] <n-iCe> Can I use shutdown -h -P without su ?
[09:47] <h1st0> xipietotec: use ktorrent
[09:47] <kuja> xipietotec: Perhaps you were running Azureus under the GCJ.
[09:47] <orb> h1st0: ugh can't anything ever just work?  An error occured: E: /var/cache/apt/archives/nvidia-glx_1%3a1.0.9631+2.6.20.5-16.29_i386.deb: subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 2
[09:47] <h1st0> n-iCe: no
[09:47] <panzer> h1st0 gracias
[09:47] <Zasch> Alright, thanks :)
[09:47] <h1st0> orb: hrm...  sudo apt-get autoclean && sudo apt-get autoremove
[09:48] <xipietotec> kuja, I use ktorrent now, it has a better gui to boot
[09:48] <n-iCe> h1k0 thank you
[09:48] <h1st0> orb: then try again
[09:48] <Leon_home> can someone tell me does the ssh server working on tcp 23 or udp 23 ?
[09:48] <n-iCe> h1k0 should I sue then : sudo shutdown -h -P , ?
[09:48] <dystopianray> Leon_home: it works on tcp 22
[09:48] <h1st0> n-iCe: yes
[09:48] <orb> h1st0: same error, dunno if at the end this was there last time, but at the end of it after a line break is "hls"
[09:48] <n-iCe> oki
[09:48] <Leon_home> dystopianray: thanks
[09:49] <h1st0> orb: What is going on with your system.
[09:49] <kuja> xipietotec: I tried KTorrent yesterday.  It's not bad, but I've got that whole "I've used X software for so long that it's hard to adapt to Y software" disease.
[09:49] <orb> h1st0 :'( no idea
[09:49] <h1st0> orb: You shouldn't be having these problems.  How did you install it?
[09:49] <orb> h1st0: uh would envy cause all this by any chance?
[09:49] <h1st0> orb: possibly
[09:49] <h1st0> !envy | orb
[09:49] <ubotu> orb: envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[09:50] <h1st0> ^^^^
[09:50] <orb> h1st0: when I first installed and was having trouble getting X to work someone on this IRC told me to use envy
[09:50] <h1st0> orb: Yeah they shouldn't be recomending envy or automatix as you can see by the message from ubotu
[09:50] <h1st0> orb: well what happened with envy?
[09:51] <vancomycin> xipietotec, :/usr/share/gdm/themes$ sudo rm -rf neu i hit tab nothing comes up
[09:51] <masonus> Hello.
[09:51] <orb> h1st0: well it seemed to install nvidia drivers okay enough, but it was still all glitchy, especially when dealing with dual monitor setups... so I decided I'd try installing with the binary installer or something
[09:51] <h1st0> vancomycin: why don't you do an ls /usr/share/gdm/themes
[09:51] <vancomycin> ls
[09:51] <h1st0> orb: what the installer from nvidia.com?
[09:51] <orb> h1st0: uh, what?  I'm not sure I understand what you're asking
[09:52] <masonus> Does anyone have time to help me with an Ubuntu installation issue?
[09:52] <vancomycin> h1st0, xipietotec  : circles  happygnome  happygnome-list  Human  HumanCircle  HumanList
[09:52] <Leon_home> can someone recommend me on good graphic firewall software ?
[09:52] <Scarey> Leon_home: firestarter?
[09:52] <h1st0> orb: when you say you tried to install the binary driver what do you mean?
[09:52] <h1st0> orb: the one in envy?
[09:52] <h1st0> vancomycin: hold on i'll find it in ~
[09:52] <orb> h1st0: no I mean so I decided TO TRY like in the future, which is what I've been trying this whole time with you
[09:53] <rockets> It worked great thanks!
[09:53] <vancomycin> ok thanks xipietotec h1st0
[09:53] <kuja> orb: Have you got a particular issue?  I'm sorry I don't think I saw your original question.
[09:53] <vancomycin> it's just my 2nd day on and i dont want things already "screwy"
[09:53] <orb> kuja: I'm having big issues with installing graphics drivers
[09:53] <h1st0> orb: ahh well first you have to remove whatever envy tried to do.
[09:53] <h1st0> orb: and I have no idea how to do that.
[09:53] <kuja> orb: Really?  What kind of graphics card do you have?
[09:53] <orb> h1st0: so how do I do that?
[09:53] <orb> kuja: nVidia GeForce 8800 GTX
[09:54] <marx2k> ORB: LOAD UP ENVY AND SELECT REMOVE DRIVER
[09:54] <marx2k> -caps, sorry
[09:54] <vancomycin> i learned now that just "dragging themes" doesn't mean it will work! :/
[09:54] <orb> marx2k: can't load up envy, won't load anymore :\
[09:54] <marx2k> whats it say
[09:54] <kuja> orb: I see.  I'm not sure if the 8800 GTX is supported by Ubuntu's currently packaged nvidia-glx driver, but have you tried installing it?
[09:54] <orb> marx2k: nothing, just doesn't go
[09:54] <marx2k> um, so when you type 'envy -t' in a terminal...
[09:54] <orb> kuja: yeah it says on the site it's supported... and yeah i've tried and we're getting a whole slew of errors most likely caused by envy
[09:54] <masonus> I was in here the other day asking about how to remove grub from my windows MBR, thats done. Now I'm installing Ubuntu again and I can't figure out how to get the installer to put GRUB on my external harddrive instead of on my windows hard drive.
[09:55] <orb> marx2k: oh lol that worked -_-
[09:55] <kuja> orb: But, you installed the driver directly from Ubuntu's package repository, right?
[09:55] <marx2k> masonus: almost at the end of the install, theres an advanced button... hit that and select the drive grub should be put to
[09:55] <orb> kuja: no I originally isntalled it from envy... bad idea.  Now i'm trying to undo that
[09:55] <h1st0> vancomycin: hrm.. I can't find where its storing gdm themes
[09:55] <masonus> There is an option on step 7 of the installer called advanced and it looks like I would specify my drive there
[09:55] <xipietotec> vancomycin, the themes themselves have to be configured correctly, they're not allways configured correctly
[09:55] <masonus> but I'm not sure how to specify the driv.
[09:55] <masonus> drive*
[09:55] <marx2k> orb: pastebin your erros
[09:55] <marx2k> !pastebin
[09:55] <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)
[09:55] <xipietotec> but I think your theme that installed bad might be a hidden file
[09:56] <masonus> I've tried (hd1,0) but that fails
[09:56] <xipietotec> try typing ls -a
[09:56] <orb> marx2k when enabling the binary driver you mean?
[09:56] <xipietotec> in terminal
[09:56] <marx2k> masonus: : usb drive?
[09:56] <masonus> yep
[09:56] <marx2k> orb: with envy it should just install and then you reboot
[09:56] <kuja> orb: Ah, I see.  Do you know the package name of the NVIDIA driver that was installed by Envy?
[09:56] <vor> hi, any ideas/thoughts why fluxbox is slower then kde and gnome over my nx connection?
[09:56] <masonus> SCSI3 (sdb)
[09:57] <h1st0> vancomycin: nvm it does save them in /usr/share/gdm/themes
[09:57] <orb> kuja: no idea :\
[09:57] <marx2k> orb, use envy to remove the driver
[09:57] <orb> marx2k: yeah but I was having big problems with dual screen setups so I wanted to use the binary driver and try that
[09:57] <marx2k> and pastebin your errors
[09:57] <orb> marx2k: i just did
[09:57] <kuja> orb: Try `sudo apt-get remove nvidia-glx`
[09:57] <marx2k> post the link to the pastebin
[09:57] <h1st0> orb: marx2k kuja these are some of the problems with envy this is why it should never be used.
[09:57] <orb> kuja: it says it's not installed, so not removed
[09:57] <marx2k> h1k0: meh...works for every box i run it on..
[09:58] <kuja> orb: Oh, were you able to remove the driver directly from Envy?
[09:58] <h1st0> marx2k: its stupid is it too hard to type in sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx?
[09:58] <orb> kuja: yeah
[09:58] <kuja> orb: Well, then now it should just be a matter of `sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx` :)
[09:58] <h1st0> !envy | marx2k
[09:58] <ubotu> marx2k: envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[09:58] <marx2k> h1st0: envy installs nvidia's binary driver ... without envy i keep having to reinstall on every reboot
[09:58] <vega> hi guys
[09:58] <h1st0> marx2k: and its broken orbs machine very badly
[09:58] <masonus> marx2k:  I see that you are very busy helping lots of people at the moment, if you think you can help me I'd be happy to wait for a while.
[09:58] <vega> i am experiencing a problem in installing ubuntu
[09:59] <h1st0> marx2k: so does nvidia-glx
[09:59] <h1st0> marx2k: it installs nvidia's binary driver
[09:59] <marx2k> h1st0: like I said, it fixes my problem every time.. ymmv of course
[09:59] <h1st0> vega: can you elaborate a little more
[09:59] <kuja> I've never had problems with Ubuntu's standard nvidia-glx package.. it has always worked and I have never had to reinstall it upon reboot.
[09:59] <orb> kuja: tried that, got an error
[09:59] <kuja> orb: What error did you get?
[10:00] <vega> when i boot from the cd i receive a weird message related to the tty
[10:00] <vega> what can i do?
[10:00] <orb> kuja: "/var/cache/apt/archives/nvidia-glx_1%3a1.0.9631+2.6.20.5-16.29_i386.deb
[10:00] <h1st0> kuja: he's unable to install nvidia-glx I finally got his sources.list fixed but nvidia-glx is exited with some error when he tries to install it.
[10:00] <h1st0> vega: i'm assuming it has something to do with envy or god knows what else he has used like automatix etc...
[10:00] <orb> kuja: it says errors were encountered while processing that
[10:00] <orb> kuja: i'd pastebin it but pastebin says I'm spamming so it won't let me -_-
[10:00] <h1st0> orb: dpkg -l | grep nvidia-kernel
[10:01] <vancomycin> h1st0, xipietotec  this is weird > if i went to system>admin>themes - it is not there / BUT if i launch gnome-theme-manager in terminal, i get the  GLib-CRITICAL **: g_hash_table_foreach: assertion `hash_table != NULL' failed and  capplet-common-WARNING **: Could not open file "(nu when highlighting the thing i've wanted to delete called : "Neutronium Gliouche"
[10:01] <kuja> orb: Try `sudo apt-get clean`
[10:01] <marx2k> masonus: this is the guide I followwed http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=80811
[10:01] <kuja> orb: After performing the clean command, try the install command again.
[10:01] <vega> h1st0 what can i do? the exact message is "/bin/sh can't access tty; job control turned off"
[10:01] <xipietotec> vancomycin, you have to delete it from command line
[10:01] <h1st0> vancomycin: the gdm themers are in System > admin > login window
[10:01] <vancomycin> h1st0, xipietotec sorry i meant system>pref>themes* on above message
[10:01] <orb> h1st0: okay it says ii nvidia-kernel-common and some stuff
[10:01] <orb> kuja: okay hold on
[10:02] <f3trio3d2x> hi all i m compiz and linux newbie,i saw some perfect effects on youtube videos,  how can i activate fold and burn effects or another effects ?
[10:02] <h1st0> vega: What are you trying to do boot the live cd?  or the alternate?
[10:02] <orb> kuja: same error... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/nvidia-glx_1%3a1.0.9631+2.6.20.5-16.29_i386.deb (--unpack):

[10:02] <Leon_home> if i want this directory "/media/disk1/home/me" will be access as a drive like "/media/me"  does it possible ?
[10:02] <vancomycin> ok h1st0 and xipietotec i  am in the login window gui
[10:02] <marx2k> thats a very odd package name
[10:02] <h1st0> orb: can you try dpkg -l | grep nvidia-kernel
[10:02] <masonus> wow beryl works on the live disk.
[10:02] <masonus> disc*
[10:03] <masonus> thats pretty cool
[10:03] <vega> it is the installation cd 7.0.4
[10:03] <marx2k> masonus: did you see my comment to you?
[10:03] <h1st0> vancomycin: click on the local tab and remove the login theme.
[10:03] <orb> h1st0: okay i did, it says ii  nvidia-kernel-common                       20051028+1ubuntu7                      NVIDIA binary kernel module common files
[10:03] <masonus> marx2k: no I must have missed it, let me see if I can find it
[10:03] <vancomycin> and h1st0 , it's not listed there
[10:03] <octa`> wtf
[10:03] <kuja> orb: I guess I can only suggest (at this point) to remove ALL traces of every package you have installed with the word "nvidia" in it.
[10:03] <h1st0> vancomycin: what sort of theme are you trying to install.
[10:03] <orb> kuja: hrm if i knew how I would lol
[10:03] <masonus> marx2k: I'm sorry I don't see it. Would you mind repeating it?
[10:03] <mac_> I cannot boot into my Mac OS after installing ubutun 7.04 PPC
[10:04] <h1st0> vancomycin: and how did you try to install it?
[10:04] <h1st0> !grub | mac_
[10:04] <ubotu> mac_: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[10:04] <vancomycin> it was this > and i didn't install anything i just dragged one folder into there from the extraction , this is the link > http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/..%3A%3AThe+Dark+Theme%3A%3A..?content=66005
[10:04] <marx2k> hey orb, for shits and giggles, try "sudo aptitude -f"
[10:04] <kuja> orb: I think.. maybe `sudo apt-get remove *nvidia*`... make sure it only selects packages with the name "nvidia" in it.
[10:04] <safruhani> !effect
[10:04] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about effect - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[10:04] <orb> marx2k: uh okay now what lol
[10:04] <h1st0> vancomycin: and what is the problem then?
[10:04] <safruhani> hello evrybody could someone give the address of the ubuntu effect channel ?=
[10:05] <marx2k> orb: if there were broken packages, that wouldve fixed it
[10:05] <marx2k> it helped me earlier today... but doesnt sound like its helping you :)
[10:05] <Andrea_> hi h1st0  i was online few seconds ago with the nickname vega
[10:05] <h1st0> vancomycin: if you go to system > Preferences > theme?
[10:05] <xipietotec> h1st0, he got a malformed install of a theme, which means its in a hidden folder in his themes directory
[10:05] <marx2k> orb, did you happen to post the link for the pastebin you made?
[10:05] <Leon_home> if i have a tar file at /media/disk2 and i want to extract the archive to /media/disk1 what is the command ?
[10:05] <xipietotec> and he needs to remove it from there
[10:05] <Andrea_> I  was telling you that the problem is that i cannot install ubuntu 7.0.4
[10:05] <orb> marx2k: which pastebin
[10:05] <masonus> marx2k: how do I specify my external drive?
[10:05] <h1st0> xipietotec: well its not in /usr/share/gdm thats for login windows.  Its should be in his ~
[10:05] <marx2k> orb: of the errors envy was giving you
[10:05] <orb> kuja: uh it's just sitting at > after i did that
[10:06] <marx2k> masonus:  /dev/whatever_the_drive_is
[10:06] <masonus> poor marx2k, question after question.
[10:06] <vancomycin> problem is i just dragged a sub folder in there - h1st0 , and when i load the gnome-theme-manager (i dont know why i did in the first place) i keep getting that error and that neutronium gliouche thing is there - but in system>pref>theme - It is not listed there
[10:06] <orb> marx2k: envy didn't giv eany errors
[10:06] <xipietotec> h1st0, from what I understood from him its a gdm theme
[10:06] <marx2k> masonus:  type "df -Th" and its the one with the usbfs
[10:06] <xipietotec> which is in usr/share/gmd/themes
[10:06] <f3trio3d2x> cevap verin ! :)
[10:06] <h1st0> xipietotec: nah its a metacity theme
[10:06] <masonus> marx2k: ok
[10:06] <marx2k> orb: so what happens when you try to install nvidia drivers with envy?
[10:06] <xipietotec> oh, well then
[10:06] <kuja> orb: Make sure you didn't mess up the syntax :) .. it's "sudo apt-get remove *nvidia*"  (without the quotes)
[10:06] <orb> marx2k: it works for the most part, but i have big problems running dual monitor setups
[10:06] <xipietotec> vancomycin, metacity themes are installed in .themes in your home directory
[10:06] <marx2k> orb: Oh...
[10:06] <h1st0> vancomycin: look in /home/vancomycin/.themes
[10:06] <orb> kuja: that's exactly what I typed :\
[10:07] <Leon_home> !tar
[10:07] <ubotu> Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression
[10:07] <marx2k> have you tried "nvidia-settings"?
[10:07] <marx2k> so it seems the issue wasnt really with Envy at all
[10:07] <stefg> Leon_home: man tar
[10:07] <orb> kuja; oh rofl  i had a `  in the beginning
[10:07] <xipietotec> to install a metacity theme, you open the system>pref>themes and drag and drop
[10:07] <kuja> =)
[10:07] <orb> kuja: it says E: Regex compilation error - Invalid preceding regular expression
[10:07] <xipietotec> dragging and dropping it on gdm-theme-manager or the like will cause a problem
[10:07] <kuja> orb: Yeah I suck at this :)
[10:07] <h1st0> kuja: his system is just totally busted up
[10:07] <xipietotec> it'll tell you its broked
[10:07] <orb> kuja: :P
[10:07] <h1st0> orb: sudo apt-get remove nvidia*
[10:07] <kuja> orb: sudo apt-get remove nvidia*  (notice the single asterisk this time)
[10:08] <kuja> doh'
[10:08] <safruhani> xipietotec: hi , what is the name of the ubuntu effect channel ?
[10:08] <h1st0> safruhani: ubuntu-effects
[10:08] <vancomycin> how do i reveal hidden files here? i am in the .themes dir of /home/me/.themes but nothing is there > xipietotec and h1st0
[10:08] <xipietotec> if the theme is malformed, it'll still tell you its broken, but it installs the broken theme into the .theme directory
[10:08] <marx2k> dualscreen CAN be difficult to set up at times...
[10:08] <orb> kuja: okay that worked
[10:08] <h1st0> vancomycin: ls -la
[10:08] <kuja> orb: Now try installing once again: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[10:08] <marx2k> vancomycin:  so what do you want to remove?
[10:08] <xipietotec> safruhani, #ubuntu-effects
[10:08] <h1st0> vancomycin: or if you are in a nautulus window hit ctrl+h to show hidden folders.
[10:08] <orb> kuja: okay it's installing hold on
[10:09] <masonus> marx2k: usbfs isn't listed, would you like to see the return from that command?
[10:09] <dialntone> hello
[10:09] <marx2k> masonus: pastebin  it
[10:09] <dialntone> ubuntu is cool, i love it
[10:09] <masonus> marx2k: pastebin?
[10:09] <dialntone> this is awesome, can i have some more, juice pllease
[10:09] <kuja> orb: By the way, can I ask what sort of problem you were having with dual screens?  (I run a dual screen setup at home with my NVIDIA GeForce 6800 XT)

[10:10] <marx2k> kuja: same here...
[10:10] <orb> kuja: once or twice i got it working and on restart it would fuck up again
[10:10] <orb> kuja: RAWR same F-ING ERROR
[10:10] <kuja> orb: Did you follow a HOWTO guide somewhere?
[10:10] <marx2k> orb: sounds odd

[10:10] <Leon_home> i cant understand well "man tar" can someone plz give me example how to extract this file /media/disk1/demo.tar to /media/disk2/demo ?
[10:10] <h1st0> vancomycin: well if nothign is the the .themes folder then you don't have one installed.
[10:10] <marx2k> orb:  whats the error
[10:10] <orb> kuja: no someone in these IRC was helping me

[10:14] <masonus> marx2k: I don't think so, I used GNOME partition editor to erase all of the partitions from the drive
[10:14] <h1st0> orb: sudo dpkg-divert --remove /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libGLcore.so
[10:14] <h1st0> orb: make sure you have sudo in front of those lines
[10:14] <masonus> marx2k: then I ran the installer and told it to use the entire 160gb disk with ext3
[10:14] <orb> h1st0: No diversion `any diversion of /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libGLcore.so', none removed
[10:15] <orb> h1st0: yeah i got sudo
[10:15] <masonus> marx2k; I manually set up the partitions
[10:15] <marx2k> orb: id suggest using Envy to reinstall or grabbing it from NVidia directly and running that deb... but people in here would kill me :)
[10:15] <h1st0> orb: okay did the first to libgl.so ones work?
[10:15] <h1st0> marx2k: STOP RECOMENDING ENVY IN HERE
[10:15] <masonus> marx2k: all with the GUI, i'm not that familiar with the command line to do that from the console.
[10:15] <marx2k> h1sto: ITS MY PERSONAL OPINION
[10:15] <orb> h1st0: no the error is Removing `diversion of /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 to /usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1.xlibmesa by nvidia-glx-new'
[10:15] <orb> dpkg-divert: rename involves overwriting `/usr/lib/libGL.so.1' with
[10:15] <orb>   different file `/usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1.xlibmesa', not allowed
[10:15] <h1st0> orb: sudo apt-get remove nvidia-glx-new
[10:16] <vancomycin> ok h1st0 > i am getting this error : when i launch in terminal > sudo gnome-theme-manager , immediately after i get this on the next line : (gnome-theme-manager:12382)  GLib-CRITICAL **: g_hash_table_foreach: assertion `hash_table != NULL' failed . and then the theme manager gui opens and highlights this "Neutronium Gilouche" thing and then in terminal it says : GLib-CRITICAL **: g_hash_table_foreach: assertion `hash_table != NULL'
[10:16] <vancomycin> failed, see i tried to copy a folder that was in the controls folder of this theme pack called neutronium
[10:16] <marx2k> masonus: thats weird.. it looks like it sisnt do ANYTHING
[10:16] <orb> h1st0: okay done
[10:16] <Flannel> marx2k: Please stick with the official recommendations in this channel.  We try not to break peoples boxes.
[10:16] <h1st0> vancomycin: you shouldn't be launching ngome-theme-manager with sudo
[10:16] <masonus> marx2k: I will kill the installation process, use GNOME partition editor to make set up the partitions and then paste that code again
[10:16] <marx2k> shrug I mention what works for me.. again, ymmv
[10:16] <stefg> !envy | narx2
[10:16] <ubotu> narx2: envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[10:16] <masonus> marx2k: rather the output
[10:16] <ExxonE> got a very special problem with my usb dongle from d-link: I installed ubuntu and everything except this dongle worked just wonderful, but to make this dwl-g122 h/w ver c1 start I have to initiate and then remove GTKwifi from my toolbar. and that's not fun to do each time you start the computer.
[10:17] <h1st0> marx2k: I understand it works for you just don't recomend in here thats all.
[10:17] <orb> h1st0: uh so what now?
[10:17] <marx2k> masonus: hanf on
[10:17] <vancomycin> i just cant seem to remove this neurtronium gilouche / i do see the original /usr/share/gdm/theme flles . h1st0 , i read that command on one of the forum posts :(
[10:17] <masonus> marx2k: ok
[10:17] <h1st0> orb: try the sudo dpkg-divert commands again
[10:17] <marx2k> masonus: let me try to figure out your situation again... your external HD is how large?
[10:17] <h1st0> vancomycin: cant you just launch theme manager from System > Preferences >Themes?
[10:17] <masonus> marx2k: its a maxtor onetouch III 160gb usb external.
[10:17] <orb> h1st0: same problem
[10:18] <tarelerulz> Have any of you run an amd 64  with ubuntu ?
[10:18] <h1st0> orb: okay now use the restricted manager
[10:18] <masonus> marx2k: GParted isn't even seeing the drive now.... hmm
[10:18] <marx2k> masonus: and youre in the liveCD right now, right?
[10:18] <marx2k> dude thats weird
[10:18] <masonus> marx2k: right
[10:18] <orb> h1st0: OMFG NO IT'S GIVING ME THE ERROR AGAIN OF HAVING TO INSTALL THE MODULE STUFF
[10:18] <masonus> marx2k: let me take a minute to figure out what happened
[10:18] <h1st0> orb: yeah that probably got removed when nvidia-glx-new was removed.
[10:18] <masonus> marx2k: I'll get right back with you as soon as I Figure it out
[10:18] <marx2k> masonus: yeah, step one is getting it recognized :)
[10:18] <h1st0> orb: sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r`
[10:19] <dvs01> i want to use openvpn to create a layer 2 bridge, so that the client machine ends up using one of the server's public ips. how can i do that?
[10:19] <masonus> marx2k: there it is, i was just looking at the wrong drive from Gparted
[10:19] <h1st0> orb: then use it.  The problem was nvidia-glx-new was installed.
[10:19] <Leon_home> if i will login on the terminal with sudo -i , and go to "/media" and make there new directory , does this directory will be accessible for writing ?
[10:19] <vancomycin> h1st0, yes i can - but i just want to get rid of that thing :( / like i said, it's only my 2nd day - not a killer mistake, but you know what i mean - i just want it gone...
[10:19] <orb> h1st0: k done
[10:19] <dialntone> my Desktop Effects,  are glitched out or something, i can't see anything :(
[10:19] <stefg> !vpn | dvs01
[10:19] <ubotu> dvs01: From more information on vpn please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD
[10:19] <dialntone> doesn't even do the 3d cube anymore
[10:19] <marx2k> masonus: gparted should give you the /dev/drive designation
[10:19] <h1st0> dialntone: go to #ubuntu-effects for support
[10:19] <orb> h1st0: k i'm in the restricted drivers manager
[10:19] <vancomycin> h1k0, at least i can learn from it and know what to do next time? :)
[10:19] <dialntone> ok
[10:19] <h1st0> orb: give it a whirl now.
[10:19] <dvs01> thanks
[10:19] <marx2k> dialntone: ALT+F2 and type "compiz --replace"
[10:19] <marx2k> unless youre using beryl
[10:19] <orb> h1st0: same error as always :\
[10:19] <masonus> marx2k: it looks like the install "druid" i think its called, set up the partition table on the drive already, thats why we were seeing those partitions
[10:19] <marx2k> in which case "beryl --replace"
[10:20] <h1st0> orb: How is that file getting corrupt
[10:20] <marx2k> masonus: Oh I see.. well, just choose the first partition of the external drive
[10:20] <h1st0> orb: okay now just copy and paste the following lines in a terminal
[10:20] <h1st0> orb: sudo dpkg-divert --remove /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1
[10:20] <h1st0> sudo dpkg-divert --remove /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2
[10:20] <h1st0> sudo dpkg-divert --remove /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libGLcore.so
[10:20] <h1st0> orb: one at a time
[10:20] <masonus> marx2k: I'll give it a crack and let you know how it goes
[10:20] <masonus> The following operation could not be applied to disk:
[10:20] <masonus> Format /dev/sdb1 as ext3
[10:21] <masonus> is there a size limit to ext3?
[10:21] <h1st0> masonus: no
[10:21] <orb> h1st0: it says it needs a single argument
[10:21] <marx2k> masonus: not that I know of
[10:21] <marx2k> masonus: : perhaps because its mounted
[10:21] <marx2k> use gparted to unmount\
[10:21] <h1st0> orb: is it asking you for an argument or did it proceed?
[10:21] <masonus> marx2k: ok, Oh yeah, I remember hearing about that on the podcast I was listening to earlier.
[10:22] <masonus> marx2k: that ext3 locks the disc when its mounted
[10:22] <orb> h1st0: i'm pretty sure it didn't proceed
[10:22] <marx2k> yep
[10:22] <kahrytan> marx2k, or use umount
[10:22] <h1st0> orb: are you back at a prompt?
[10:22] <marx2k> yeah or use umount
[10:22] <orb> h1st0: yeah
[10:22] <h1st0> orb: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[10:22] <masonus> marx2k: umount?
[10:22] <kahrytan> !umount
[10:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about umount - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[10:22] <orb> h1st0: same problem as always
[10:22] <marx2k> "umount <device>"
[10:22] <masonus> marx2k from the console right?
[10:22] <marx2k> yep
[10:22] <kahrytan> umount /dev/hda1 for example
[10:22] <h1st0> orb: I have no idea what envy did but there are some files that are completely f'd
[10:23] <orb> h1st0: so uh... reformat?
[10:23] <masonus> marx2k: The following operation could not be applied to disk:
[10:23] <masonus> Format /dev/sdb1 as ext3
[10:23] <kahrytan> !envy
[10:23] <ubotu> envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[10:23] <masonus> oops
[10:23] <masonus> wrong paste
[10:23] <masonus> sorry
[10:23] <masonus> umount: sdb1 is not mounted (according to mtab)
[10:23] <h1st0> orb: here is the post where I was getting the fix.  But like ubotu says envy can really bork stuff up http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=517894
[10:23] <h1k0> ok
[10:24] <masonus> marx2k: do I Have to put /dev/sdb1?
[10:24] <h1k0> no problem:)
[10:24] <marx2k> yep
[10:24] <masonus> marx2k: or rather /dev/sdb
[10:24] <orb> h1st0: since I never got this stuff working yet I don't have anything on ubuntu really so I think ill just reformat :\
[10:24] <masonus> marx2:it says that it isn't mounted
[10:24] <marx2k> well thats good at least
[10:25] <marx2k> heh try mounting it
[10:25] <orb> Thanks for everyone's help, Ima go reformat :\
[10:25] <dvs01> http://www.dvs01.net/pics/desktop2.png <-- my ubuntu desktop
[10:25] <masonus> marx2k: should the swap partition be an extended partition or a primary?
[10:25] <h1st0> orb: If you do don't install envy next time.
[10:25] <masonus> marx2k: and what is the difference?
[10:25] <masonus> good luck orb
[10:25] <Leon_home> does it possible to make local user directory on the desktop (/home/user1/database) to be displayed at /media/databases ?
[10:26] <marx2k> masonus:  between mounting and unmounting?
[10:26] <vancomycin> h1st0, i know ur busy man - i'll be back in a few minutes
[10:26] <masonus> marx2k: no, what is the difference between an extended partition and a primary, and which one should the swap partition be?
[10:26] <dvs01> ill explain, masonus
[10:26] <marx2k> i just have all my stuff primary
[10:27] <dvs01> a disk can have 4 primary partitions
[10:27] <dvs01> if you want to have more than 4, one of them has to be an extended partition
[10:27] <dvs01> that acts as a container for multiple partitions within it
[10:27] <dvs01> i think theyre called logical partitions
[10:27] <masonus> dvs01: I see, and since the swap partition is so tiny it doesn't make much sense to give it one of the 4 primary slots
[10:28] <Irreducibilis> Would someone be able to help me with a problem I have with DSL
[10:28] <stefg> !ask
[10:28] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[10:28] <masonus> dvs01: or does it?
[10:28] <dvs01> masonus: it all depends on how many partitions you are gonna have
[10:28] <dvs01> if the total is 4 or less, then go for it
[10:29] <masonus> dvos01: well, that might change in the future, for this install I am only seeing the need for 2, ubuntu and swap.
[10:29] <dvs01> you also gotta decide what part of the disk you want swap on
[10:29] <masonus> wow, my fingers are failing.
[10:29] <dvs01> the beginning is the fastest
[10:29] <marx2k> on my main hard drive, I have 3 pri partitions... /, /home and a  swap
[10:29] <Irreducibilis> okay
[10:29] <masonus> dvs01: and the swap is used as virtual memory? whats its purpose?
[10:29] <dvs01> yes, swap is virtual memory
[10:29] <Irreducibilis> I am running DSL inside Qemu, inside Windows XP and I am using DAEMON tools to mount a .iso inside windows	What I want to know is if theres a way to use DSL inside qemu to access that .iso which is mounted in windows
[10:29] <stefg> !swap
[10:29] <ubotu> swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info
[10:29] <marx2k> I would suggest keeping a seperate /home partition
[10:29] <masonus> dvs01: what is a good size for swap then if I Have 160gb available?
[10:30] <marx2k> swap should be 1/2 your physical RAM I think
[10:30] <dvs01> its typically ram * 2
[10:30] <marx2k> oh * 2
[10:30] <masonus> I have 2gb of ram
[10:30] <dvs01> make it 4gb then
[10:30] <stefg> masonus: how much ram do you have and do you plan to hibernate thet machine ?
[10:30] <masonus> so 4 gb of swap
[10:30] <masonus> got it
[10:30] <marx2k> I should up my swap :)
[10:30] <dvs01> its recommended to make the swap near the beginning of the drive
[10:30] <masonus> so I'll make 3 parts then, home, ubuntu and 4gb swap
[10:30] <marx2k> by ubuntu you mean "/", right?
[10:31] <masonus> dvs01: yes, root
[10:31] <dvs01> i make /, /home, /var, /tmp sometimes, and swap
[10:31] <stefg> masonus: not to confuse you, but it's good practice to have a separate /boot, too
[10:31] <dvs01> yup
[10:31] <Irreducibilis> *bump*
[10:31] <Irreducibilis> I am running DSL inside Qemu, inside Windows XP and I am using DAEMON tools to mount a .iso inside windows	What I want to know is if theres a way to use DSL inside qemu to access that .iso which is mounted in windows
[10:31] <masonus> /marx2k:dvs01: how can I specify from within GParted where swap is located physically on the disc?
[10:31] <marx2k> masonus: Im GUESSING it'd be the leftmost partition
[10:31] <marx2k> but thats a guess
[10:31] <dvs01> not sure, but typically, its arranged in the order that you add them in
[10:32] <masonus> stefg: care to explain that?
[10:32] <h1st0> masonus: 4gig of swap?
[10:32] <Irreducibilis> If you must know why I am asking here, its because nobody is responding in the damn small linux channel
[10:32] <masonus> stefg: I'm obviously very new to this, hence the 20 questions
[10:32] <SineFat1> Is it just me or have there been relatively a lot of updates recently
[10:32] <masonus> h1st0: thats what I'm going to do based on the advice given so far :)
[10:32] <marx2k> Irreducibilis: I dont kmnow about QEmu, but with VMWare and VirtualBox, they both allow you to specify an ISO as a virtual physical CD
[10:32] <Irreducibilis> Can anyone hear me?!
[10:33] <Irreducibilis> nm.
[10:33] <kalmah> Hi, my sound in ubuntu has a lot of static. What could cause this?
[10:33] <masonus> I'm going to have to do my share of time in this channel answering questions once I Get my stuff straight.
[10:33] <SineFat1> Irreducibilis: no, but i can see what you type
[10:33] <masonus> ha ha ha
[10:33] <h1st0> masonus: realistically you only need a seperate /home that way if you reinstall all your files are still there and settings for the most part.
[10:33] <marx2k> kalmah: bad grounding?
[10:33] <Irreducibilis> But I cant take them with me on a 128mb flash drive ;)
[10:33] <Irreducibilis> I can with Qemu
[10:33] <h1st0> masonus: the other recomendation is more for a server setup with /var etc.. beign seperate.  You should create / /home and /swap
[10:33] <masonus> h1st0: I Understand that concept, I Keep a media partition on my windows install as well for just that reason
[10:33] <h1st0> masonus: for normal desktop use.
[10:33] <kalmah> marx2k: it worked fine in windows, this is a fresh install of ubuntu
[10:34] <h1st0> masonus: but everyone has an opinion on it.
[10:34] <SineFato> Is it just me or have there been relatively a lot of system updates recently
[10:34] <marx2k> kalmah: when does the static occur?
[10:34] <masonus> h1st0: I listened to a podcast earlier today about file systems where some of this was explained, he did touch on that server vs. desktop subject.
[10:34] <kalmah> marx2k: when any sound plays. all i hear is static and a hint of what should be playing
[10:34] <masonus> h1st0: since this is my personal laptop I think I'll go with the '/' swap /home
[10:35] <Janet32766> can anyone tell me why my eth1 static IP keeps changing in 7.04?
[10:35] <marx2k> kalmah: in terminal, type "alsamixer" and try bringing the PCM volume down until the static goes away and bring the  master up
[10:35] <animaletto> ciao
[10:35] <h1st0> Janet32766: is it set for dhcp maybe?
[10:35] <stefg> masonus: it keeps you away from problems if the kernel and the initial ramdisk (the files which get booted first) are within the first 1024 cylinders of the harddisk. To avoid that a kernel gets written waaayyyy back on the drive during an upgrade it's smarter to have a separate /boot partition (like 64 MB) at the begiining of the drive. Recommended layout: 1.) 64 MB /boot 2.) 5 -10 GB /...
[10:35] <stefg> ...(root) 3.) 2,5 G swap 4.) the rest for /home
[10:35] <animaletto> tutto bene?
[10:35] <Janet32766> h1st0: not in /etc/network/interfaces
[10:36] <masonus> i'm going to be AFK a second, then I'll get my hammer and chisel out to work on this external drive
[10:36] <h1st0> Janet32766: hrm... well then it should be static unless network-manager is doing some voodoo on it.
[10:36] <vancomycin> h1st0, i uploaded a screenshot of what i mean , and the thing highlighted in the theme preferences give those errors when launching that gnome-theme-manager - maybe that will help? http://img146.imageshack.us/my.php?image=gnomethemeerroroz2.jpg
[10:36] <masonus> stefg: would you mind putting that recommendation in the pastebin for me?
[10:37] <Janet32766> h1st0: is network-manager installed by default?
[10:37] <kalmah> marx2k: tried that. i still get static when PCM is at 2. Also, master volume doesn't change the sound volume at all for me
[10:37] <kalmah> marx2k: 94% master and 2% master has the same volume
[10:37] <linuxemacs> does anyone successfully install atctive protection system module of thinkpad t60 on ubuntu system?
[10:37] <h1st0> vancomycin: did you try not using sudo
[10:37] <marx2k> kalmah: id play around in alsamixer .. baybe turn the bass down?
[10:37] <marx2k> maybe
[10:37] <stefg> masonus: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37886/
[10:38] <masonus> stefg: thank you very much
[10:38] <kalmah> marx2k: it's possible it co uld be because i have 2 sounds cards (onboard and pci), but i have the pci one set to my default card
[10:38] <Irreducibilis> Nobody wants to help me :(
[10:38] <h1st0> vancomycin: you don't need sudo to launch gnome-theme-manager
[10:38] <masonus> all: afk 5 minutes
[10:39] <marx2k> kalmah: perhaps... maybe disable the onboard card in the bios? Though that really shouldnt be the case
[10:39] <marx2k> I have a bit of trouble with static as well in linux when the volume gets high on any audio output
[10:40] <kalmah> what has me confused is no matter what i do with the master volume setting.. the volume stays the same
[10:40] <marx2k> thats pribably because PCM is way down
[10:40] <marx2k> probably
[10:41] <h1st0> vancomycin: if you used sudo to launch it and install the theme.  Then its in /root/.themes
[10:41] <kalmah> yeah i played around with PCM, and it has no effect on volume either
[10:41] <vancomycin> h1st0, i understand, but i'd like to get rid of that neutronium thing there *if possible...
[10:41] <kalmah> Well, if i turn PCM to 0.. there is no volume. that's about it
[10:41] <marx2k> ok i gots to sleep :/
[10:42] <kalmah> but if i set master volume to 0, i still have sound.. lol
[10:42] <marx2k> kalmah: arent there other settings to play with in alsamixer?
[10:42] <marx2k> yeah linux is funnyu that way..same here...at 0 Master VOlume, I still get sound
[10:42] <vancomycin> ok i am going there now h1st0 , yes that was how i initially did this, i didn't go to system>pref>themes like you had mentioned - but i will in the future for sure
[10:42] <masonus> I'm back
[10:42] <masonus> marx2k: thanks for all of your help tonight, its greatly appreciated.
[10:43] <masonus> same goes to anyone else who answered my questions thus far.
[10:43] <vancomycin> :/root/.themes$ ls
[10:43] <vancomycin> Neutronium Gilouche
[10:43] <vancomycin> there it is h1st0 :)
[10:43] <kalmah> i think i fixed it, thanks marx
[10:44] <h1st0> vancomycin: thats why because you used sudo it installe din root.  Don't launch stuff like that from terminal again.  Especially with sudo.
[10:44] <h1st0> vancomycin: Just use the shortcut in System > Preferences from now on that way it gets installed in your users account not roots
[10:44] <vancomycin> now how do i remove that thing h1st0 :) it was in /root/.themes i am in the terminal now
[10:44] <SKiZzO87> good morning..i have a problem ...when i try to configure winex i have this error checking for strip... none
[10:45] <SKiZzO87> configure: error: no suitable strip found.
[10:45] <vancomycin> i will do that h1st0 , it was a mistake and i learned from that now... so let's get rid of this thing.
[10:45] <masonus> reiserfs is supposed to be the best for moving small files... should I use RFS or EXT3 for the /boot partition stefg?
[10:45] <SKiZzO87> how i can install strip?
[10:45] <h1st0> vancomycin: sudo rm -rf Nuetr<tab>
[10:45] <h1st0> vancomycin: hit tab to auto compolete the name
[10:46] <V|4d> SKiZzO87: apt-get install strip ?
[10:46] <masonus> stefg: also, with this partition configuration, will the ubuntu installer automatically use the /boot partition instead of creating one under '/'?
[10:46] <SKiZzO87> :) too simply
[10:46] <stefg> masonus: for the /boot i recommend straight ext2 or 3... it's only accessed at system start, so doesn't affect speed. ext2 /3 is easiest to fix so stick with that
[10:46] <V|4d> well try :D
[10:46] <SKiZzO87> it doesn't work
[10:46] <V|4d> hm
[10:46] <SKiZzO87> :)
[10:46] <masonus> stefg: will journaling do anything for me during boot?
[10:47] <Guillem> How can I make evolution junk plugins work with exchange-connector??? It does not filter exchange incoming folder, and If I mark a message as trash, it seems to train the filter but the message disappears (does not go to junk folder).
[10:47] <stefg> masonus: no, if you tell the installer to use a /boot, of course it will set up the system accordingly. and journalling isn't important on 64 MB partition... a fsck won't take long on that
[10:47] <Guillem> ... so I cannot undo....
[10:47] <V|4d> SKiZzO87 apt-get install stripclub ^^
[10:47] <randoman> hey anyone have a quick answer, to why my my computer plays mono vs stereo
[10:48] <masonus> /stefg: fsck?
[10:48] <randoman> and can I edit alsa tof ix this?
[10:48] <Gaidin> hi, a newbie here, how would i get a command to run at startup?
[10:48] <masonus> !fsck
[10:48] <ubotu> 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
[10:48] <masonus> ahh, ok
[10:48] <SKiZzO87> V|4d, no :)
[10:48] <stefg> masonus: file system consistency check
[10:48] <masonus> stefg: understood, I'm just trying to relate all of the bits and pieces of info I've gathered so far.
[10:48] <masonus> stefg: its starting to come together :)
[10:48] <V|4d> hm i ve installed winex.... but i didn't see this error
[10:49] <V|4d> SKiZzO87 do you install it via WineCvs.sh ?
[10:49] <SKiZzO87> no...
[10:49] <V|4d> it's a simple script which downloads, compiles and installs winex / cedega
[10:49] <SKiZzO87> ok
[10:49] <V|4d> maybe it's the solution for your problem
[10:49] <vancomycin> ok h1st0 it's [the neutrino theme in the gui]  not there anymore :0 but these errors still show up :  laptop:/root/.themes$ sudo gnome-theme-manager (gnome-theme-manager:13734): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_hash_table_foreach: assertion `hash_table != NULL' failed(gnome-theme-manager:13734): capplet-common-WARNING **: Could not open file "(null)" is that normal for it to be there? should i ignore it?
[10:50] <masonus> stefg: so should I try to mount the external drive I'm using before I run the installer, or should I let the installer handle that?
[10:50] <stefg> masonus: unplug the external during installation.... (safe is safe :-) ). Deal with it later, gnome will let you acces it
[10:51] <SKiZzO87> V|4d, what profile i must select?
[10:51] <masonus> stefg: but this install is supposed to go on the external.
[10:51] <masonus> stefg: let me describe my goal here.
[10:51] <V|4d> hm... i ve selected cedega
[10:51] <EvaLuaTe> where can i find the network configuration file (where i can set a static IP and stuff like that) ?
[10:51] <V|4d> EvaLuaTe /etc/network/interfaces
[10:51] <masonus> stefg: I want the boot loader and ubuntu on the external, because my laptop can boot from USB.
[10:51] <XsteelWolf> EvaLuaTe /etc/network/interfaces
[10:51] <V|4d> :D
[10:51] <XsteelWolf> lol
[10:51] <SKiZzO87> ok tnx V|4d
[10:51] <stefg> masonus: oh.. i see.... that will give you some trouble, because the Desktop installer will overwrite the MBR of your internal disk
[10:51] <masonus> stefg: that way when it is attached I Get the bootloader, otherwise I want it to boot from windows
[10:52] <masonus> stefg: there is an option on step 7 called advanced...
[10:52] <EvaLuaTe> ok, could someone please point me to a resource on how to configure multiple IP's for a machine please ?
[10:52] <XsteelWolf> networkscripts
[10:52] <XsteelWolf> eth0:0 eth0:1
[10:52] <masonus> stefg: where I can specify which disc to put GRUB on
[10:52] <brophat> When I used live cd  had sound but once I installed ubuntu no sound
[10:52] <EvaLuaTe> XsteelWolf, was that for me ?
[10:52] <masonus> stefg: I still haven't figured out how to specify that though, marx2k was telling me to type "/dev/sdb"
[10:52] <EvaLuaTe> :)
[10:53] <XsteelWolf> yes
[10:53] <SKiZzO87> V|4d,
[10:53] <SKiZzO87> Enter root Password:
[10:53] <SKiZzO87> su: Authentication failure
[10:53] <V|4d> ya?
[10:53] <XsteelWolf> /etc/networkscripts
[10:53] <XsteelWolf> type ls
[10:53] <SKiZzO87> it's impposible
[10:53] <XsteelWolf> u will see ifcfg-eth0
[10:53] <V|4d> hm
[10:53] <XsteelWolf> cp ifcfg-eth0:0
[10:53] <masonus> stefg: although now that I think about it, is it possible to install ubuntu without grub.
[10:53] <XsteelWolf> then type your second ip inside eth0:0
[10:53] <stefg> masonus: great (i'm not too familiar with the Desktop install).... look at the 'sudo fdisk -l' output to figure out which device is which
[10:54] <XsteelWolf> without touching other configs
[10:54] <EvaLuaTe> hmm, ok
[10:54] <Zarcoder_> Eva:copy the eth0 config file,to ifcfg-eth0:0
[10:54] <EvaLuaTe> wait
[10:54] <EvaLuaTe> :)
[10:54] <V|4d> i don't know what the script says :D
[10:54] <V|4d> SKiZzO87: http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wiwimod/index.php?page=HOWTO+Cedega+CVS
[10:54] <V|4d> try this
[10:54] <masonus> stefg: because technically if my external has boot order priority, that should still accomplish what I'm aiming for right?
[10:54] <SKiZzO87> ok tnx
[10:54] <EvaLuaTe> hmm
[10:54] <EvaLuaTe> it says 'networkscripts' no such file or folder
[10:54] <EvaLuaTe> :/
[10:54] <Zarcoder_> the in the file ifcfg-eth0:0 set the ip address and use the same device name as eth0
[10:54] <XsteelWolf> /etc/networkscripts
[10:54] <EvaLuaTe> btw, i have 6.06 server
[10:55] <EvaLuaTe> yes, /etc/networkscripts
[10:55] <XsteelWolf> or find  / -name "ifcfg-eth0"
[10:55] <stefg> masonus: there's no problem in having grub in the MBR of the external to boot ubuntu. I have it that way for my rescue system. it's just a bit stupid to tell the installer what you want
[10:55] <XsteelWolf> and check your directory
[10:55] <EvaLuaTe> didn't return anything
[10:55] <Zarcoder_> find /etc -name "ifcfg-eth0"
[10:55] <masonus> stefg: I see, well then. I'll get myself to step 7 of the install and let you know how it goes
[10:56] <masonus> stefg: thank you for seeing me through on all of this
[10:56] <EvaLuaTe> XsteelWolf, the second one didn't return anything wither
[10:57] <XsteelWolf> it's zero
[10:57] <XsteelWolf> not o
[10:57] <EvaLuaTe> s/wither/either/
[10:57] <XsteelWolf> you type that correctly?
[10:57] <EvaLuaTe> yes, i did
[10:57] <XsteelWolf> if not try /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
[10:57] <xukun> is there anything in linux to open Visio files?
[10:57] <Knight_On_White> i have computer with 2 HDD (Disk1-ubuntu, disk2-databases) i just got new computer with 1 HDD of 500g and i want to keep the pattern (order) of the folders & drives (becouse my databases must be located at /media/disk2) does it possible to copy my databases to the new HDD (500g) and make the ubuntu think is in other drive (without creating new partition) ?
[10:57] <XsteelWolf> how it goes?
[10:57] <Zarcoder_> .....it seem to fedora core dir path
[10:58] <EvaLuaTe> XsteelWolf: No such file or directory
[10:58] <EvaLuaTe> :/
[10:58] <XsteelWolf> yea that's centos path
[10:58] <stefg> masonus: so are you straight about your device names now?
[10:58] <XsteelWolf> you sure your on ubuntu?
[10:58] <XsteelWolf> can you do a ls command on /etc
[10:58] <EvaLuaTe> yes, it's 6.06 dapper server edition
[10:58] <XsteelWolf> and paste it on pastebin?
[10:58] <brophat> I had sound with live cd but when i installed had no sound
[10:58] <XsteelWolf> brophat
[10:58] <EvaLuaTe> hmm
[10:58] <XsteelWolf> lspci
[10:58] <XsteelWolf> check if soundcard is detected
[10:58] <EvaLuaTe> i'll have to putty for that
[10:58] <brophat> k
[10:58] <EvaLuaTe> as i don't have a GUI on the ubuntu machine
[10:58] <EvaLuaTe> brb
[10:59] <EvaLuaTe> !pastebin

[10:59] <XsteelWolf> not inside their database
[11:00] <marlun> is it alright to rename the Desktop folder in your home directory? I just want it to be called desktop with a small d in the beginning.
[11:00] <hans> hi
[11:00] <brophat> XsteelWolf yes it is detected
[11:00] <XsteelWolf> which dir
[11:01] <XsteelWolf> sorry
[11:01] <stefg> marlun: no, it has to be Desktop (captal D)
[11:01] <XsteelWolf> i thought it was evaluate
[11:01] <masonus> stefg: so far so good, I've got the partitions laid out like we discussed, i'm about to specify which disk gets grub, crossing my fingers
[11:01] <XsteelWolf> brophat,either check your volume is there
[11:01] <marlun> stefg, ok, thanks
[11:01] <GortiZ> hi to all, i've a problem with the suspension of a sony vgn-fe31h, someone could help me?
[11:01] <EvaLuaTe> XsteelWolf: here it is: http://www.pastebin.ca/703012
[11:01] <XsteelWolf> if it isn't, probably check if there is any driver issues on ubuntuforums
[11:01] <GortiZ> when I came back from suspend mode the laptop show a black screen with the mouse pointer and nothing else
[11:02] <Zarcoder_> crossing my fingers
[11:02] <brophat> XsteelWolf my volume is there
[11:02] <Zarcoder_> bye bodys
[11:02] <XsteelWolf> can you list me /etc/network ?
[11:02] <compengi> i installed windows after installing feisty i couldn't get the dual boot menu so i followed the link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 to install grub but eventually what i ended up with is that i got auto boot to ubuntu and not a dual boot to both OS
[11:02] <masonus> stefg: The ext3 file system creation in partition #4 of SCSI3 (0,0,0) (sdb) failed.
[11:02] <Knight_On_White> how i can make this new folder /media/database to be pointed to /home/user/desktop/database ?
[11:02] <brophat> XsteelWolf you want me to do that?
[11:02] <masonus> stefg: what could be causing that?
[11:03] <SlimeyPete> !grub
[11:03] <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
[11:03] <XsteelWolf> umm no
[11:03] <XsteelWolf> refering to evaluate
[11:03] <smilzo> smilzo
[11:03] <XsteelWolf> please check your driver problems on ubuntuforums
[11:03] <XsteelWolf> might be a driver issue
[11:03] <stefg> masonus: hmmm... can you pastebin me your 'sudo fdisk -l' output? i need to have a look
[11:03] <vancomycin> hey h1st0 thanks for helping me get rid of that man - those errors still come up on the sudo launch - but is that normal? anyways, i will be using the system>pref>themes... the other one in the gnome theme isn't there anymore though
[11:03] <XsteelWolf> i have issue with my wireless intel 4965agn card as well
[11:03] <masonus> stefg: of course, one moment
[11:03] <EvaLuaTe> XsteelWolf: ls /etc/network ?
[11:03] <XsteelWolf> yes
[11:03] <brophat> XsteelWolf does that make sense that it worked on live cd but does not work now?
[11:04] <EvaLuaTe> XsteelWolf: http://www.pastebin.ca/703016
[11:05] <XsteelWolf> brophat,yes it does sometimes
[11:05] <XsteelWolf> try sudo apt-get update and upgrade
[11:05] <XsteelWolf> upgrade to latest kernel and see how it goes
[11:05] <EvaLuaTe> me ?
[11:05] <XsteelWolf> no
[11:05] <hans> I am trying to add a SSH connection (through Places->Connect to Server), but once added and I try to open the connection, it just hangs and does nothing for a while and then goes "Could not open location 'ssh://hans@192.168.1.10/home/hans'", however, when I do "ssh hans@192.168.1.10" from the terminal, it works just fine. I'd like to track the cause down and maybe file a bug (I'm using Gutsy Ribbon Tribe 5) but am not sure where I can begin to look. can anyone give
[11:05] <hans>  me a hint?
[11:05] <XsteelWolf> refering to brophat
[11:05] <EvaLuaTe> ohh, ok :P
[11:05] <XsteelWolf> as for evaluate
[11:05] <Knight_On_White> how i can make this new folder /media/database to be pointed to /home/user/desktop/database ?
[11:05] <brophat> ok thanks
[11:05] <compengi> SlimeyPete, as i have wrote i followed that link so things had changed in menu.list and i didn't get dual boot
[11:05] <masonus> stefg: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37888/
[11:05] <XsteelWolf> I think ubuntu is using /etc/network/interfaces
[11:05] <stefg> k
[11:06] <XsteelWolf> to control its eth ip
[11:06] <XsteelWolf> ifconfig-eth0 seems to be only on redhat base
[11:06] <EvaLuaTe> yes, but could i connect through multiple IP's through a router ? or will i have to connect my computer directly to the modem ?
[11:06] <hans> it actually says "Timeout Reached" in the same error, but connectivity should be fine since I can connect just fine from a terminal
[11:06] <EvaLuaTe> i have a optic fiber connection btw
[11:07] <XsteelWolf> iface eth0 init static
[11:07] <XsteelWolf> address 192.168.0.10
[11:07] <XsteelWolf> netmask 255.255.255.255
[11:07] <XsteelWolf> network ???
[11:07] <XsteelWolf> broadcast ???
[11:07] <XsteelWolf> gateway ???
[11:07] <hans> I don't have any proxy configured
[11:07] <XsteelWolf> just add more iface eth0:0 etc
[11:07] <XsteelWolf> to save it inside interfaces
[11:07] <XsteelWolf> and then do a networking restart
[11:07] <stefg> masonus: actually that looks alright.... maybe it was just a bogus error. you can verify by 'sudo umount /dev/sdb4 && sudo fsck /dev/sdb4' .
[11:07] <hmhowie> xukun: what's a visio file?
[11:07] <EvaLuaTe> XsteelWolf, and would i have to set eth0:1 eth0:2 and so on for each IP, and leave everything the same just change the IP ?
[11:08] <XsteelWolf> Exactly
[11:08] <XsteelWolf> eth0 means is the same port
[11:08] <EvaLuaTe> ok :)
[11:08] <XsteelWolf> if your going to use another ethernet port
[11:08] <EvaLuaTe> brb
[11:08] <XsteelWolf> change it to eth1
[11:08] <xukun> hmhowie, that would microsoft Visio
[11:08] <EvaLuaTe> no, it'll be the same ethernet card
[11:08] <XsteelWolf> then it will be eth0:0 0:1 and so on
[11:08] <masonus> stefg: sudo gives me root privilege, umount unmounts drives && is a logical operator? then I'm checking the filesystem of sdb4?
[11:08] <hmhowie> xukun: never heard of it :) what does it do?
[11:08] <bulmer> Evaluate there are two ways to assign ip addresses to a nic card, use of ifconfig and ip (iproute2)
[11:08] <masonus> stefg: I Just want to make sure I'm understanding what I'm typing
[11:08] <stefg> masonus: right... isee you get hang of it :-)
[11:09] <xukun> hmhowie, never mind
[11:09] <eso3> hola
[11:09] <EvaLuaTe> bulmer, would it work to connect through a router through multiple IP's by configuraing the /etc/network/interfaces ?
[11:10] <eso3> hola a todo
[11:10] <bulmer> EvaLuaTe:  yes
[11:10] <EvaLuaTe> i mean, wouldn't my router translate all the IP addresses to the one it's set to ?
[11:11] <masonus> hello eso
[11:11] <XsteelWolf> it will through switch as well
[11:11] <masonus> stefg: umount: /dev/sdb4 is not mounted (according to mtab)
[11:11] <NemesisD> anyone know how i'd go about burning a cd with WMA files? serpentine doesn't seem to be able to handle that format
[11:11] <rafael__> hello ... someone here uses screenlets ?  i just installed and i dont have the screenlets-tray
[11:11] <EvaLuaTe> because i set the rotuer to use a static IP address, the main one
[11:11] <bulmer> Evaluate no it would not
[11:11] <XsteelWolf> external
[11:11] <XsteelWolf> or internal
[11:11] <rafael__> i think its a new version of screenlets..  is it ?
[11:11] <EvaLuaTe> and now i got a /28 class
[11:11] <stefg> masonus: ok, so then just 'sudo fsck /dev/sdb4'
[11:11] <XsteelWolf> would be fine
[11:11] <EvaLuaTe> well, i think it's external
[11:11] <paulowsky_> hey, anybody experiencing problems with apt synaptic package updates?
[11:12] <XsteelWolf> static IP address for external should only be one
[11:12] <XsteelWolf> unless your using a switch
[11:12] <EvaLuaTe> but the router uses NAT, which, afaik, means Network Address Translation, wouldn't that interfere with the /etc/network/interfaces settings ?
[11:12] <paulowsky_> they seem to be failing
[11:12] <masonus> stefg: fsck.ext2: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/sdb4
[11:12] <rafael__> my screenlets is not loading that widget to show the sys info..  user name and these thins.. someone have the version 0.0.10-3 of screenlets installed?
[11:12] <XsteelWolf> no it wouldnt
[11:12] <masonus> stefg: it told me that it was having some issue with a 'Superblock'
[11:12] <EvaLuaTe> ok, cool =)
[11:12] <XsteelWolf> if it allows translation,router would be able to take care of it
[11:13] <EvaLuaTe> thanks alot guys :)
[11:13] <XsteelWolf> your welcome
[11:13] <EvaLuaTe> IOU :D
[11:13] <EvaLuaTe> ohh, one more question :)
[11:13] <masonus> stefg: i'm starting to wonder if this hard drive has some physical problems with it.  is there a way to perform a low level format from Gparted or the command line?
[11:14] <XsteelWolf> shoot
[11:14] <EvaLuaTe> how were the settings again ? network first address, broadcast last and gateway second ?
[11:14] <stefg> masonus: ok,  so the partition is there, but isn't formatted yet. i'm not sure if the installer will correct that. Try formatting it manually 'sudo mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sdb4'
[11:14] <EvaLuaTe> do i racall correctly ?
[11:14] <XsteelWolf> iface eth0 init static
[11:14] <XsteelWolf> address 192.168.0.10
[11:14] <XsteelWolf> netmask 255.255.255.255
[11:14] <XsteelWolf> network ???
[11:14] <XsteelWolf> broadcast ???
[11:14] <XsteelWolf> gateway ???
[11:14] <EvaLuaTe> recall*
[11:15] <XsteelWolf> just change accordingly
[11:15] <XsteelWolf> not following this sample config though
[11:15] <masonus> stefg: it says the device doesn't exist yet
[11:15] <Otaimerz> hye.. why my livecd can install in another pc.. not to my pc
[11:15] <XsteelWolf> just replace to whatever you have to do
[11:15] <masonus> stefg: I'm going to try making all of my partitions from the command line
[11:15] <Otaimerz> when i install in my pc it say system halted after loading linux kernel
[11:15] <stefg> masonus: that's waht i'd recoomed, too
[11:15] <stefg> bahh.... typing
[11:15] <masonus> stefg: can you walk me through mounting the external?
[11:15] <Leon_home> how i can delete a folder in the terminal ?
[11:16] <paulowsky_> i can't seem to do package updates.
[11:16] <bulmer> Evaluate: ip addr add 10.1.1.1/8 dev eth0 brd+; ip addr 172.16.1.1/16 dev eth0 brd+; ip addr add 192.168.1.1/24 dev eth0 brd+  and you'll see your eth0 will have 3 addresses
[11:16] <EvaLuaTe> yeah, but for example, if i got a 127.127.15.15/28 class, what would be the network/broadcast/gateway addresses ? 127.127.15.15/127.127.15.31/127.127.15.16 resepctively ?
[11:16] <paulowsky_> anybody with a similar problem?
[11:16] <stefg> masonus: get a root shell by sudo -s and type cfdisk
[11:16] <trpr> Leon_home: rm -r
[11:16] <compengi> gnomefreak, hi
[11:17] <stefg> masonus: get a root shell by sudo -s and type cfdisk /dev/sdb rather
[11:17] <masonus> stefg: I think this live disc defaults to shell since the disc is readonly
[11:17] <XsteelWolf> not sure about that,i took ccna years ago
[11:17] <XsteelWolf> lol
[11:17] <Lemming> Hi, last night I apt-get installed jackd
[11:17] <EvaLuaTe> heh :)
[11:17] <Lemming> since then I've had no sound
[11:17] <masonus> stefg: nevermind, it was user "ubuntu"
[11:17] <XsteelWolf> there should be a network calculator to calculate it classes
[11:17] <masonus> stefg: i'm in a root shell now
[11:17] <XsteelWolf> just google for it
[11:17] <Lemming> and I need help restoring it back to what it was
[11:17] <bulmer> Evaluate do not use 127.127.x.x as sample, those will not work..use a valid routeable ones
[11:17] <stefg> masonus: cfdisk /dev/sdb
[11:17] <EvaLuaTe> bulmer, i just gave you an example
[11:18] <compengi> Seveas, hi
[11:18] <bulmer> Evaluate did you get what i said about 127.x.x.x ?
[11:18] <masonus> stefg: ok, now I see a screen that shows all of the partitions that were already made by the installer
[11:18] <masonus> stefg: but I think that was just put into the partition table, I don't think it actually formatted the disk.
[11:18] <EvaLuaTe> ok, my class is actually: 78.96.37.128/28
[11:18] <stefg> masonus: yes, but we are not going to trust them. i'd say: dlete them all
[11:19] <EvaLuaTe> and the primary IP is: 89.136.103.61
[11:19] <masonus> sterg: ok and then make them again, got it
[11:20] <bulmer> Evaluate if you are using iproute2 "ip" the only way you get a primary is if they are on same subnet and same mask
[11:20] <EvaLuaTe> well, i don't know actually, this is what my ISP told me, that this class is routed to the primary IP
[11:20] <EvaLuaTe> :/
[11:20] <masonus> stefg; when I try to write the new table it gives me this WroNo primary partitions are marked bootable. DOS MBR cannot boot this.e.
[11:21] <stefg> masonus: not important... just a warning
[11:22] <stefg> masonus: so have you already made the new partitions, or were you just deleting the old ones?
[11:22] <adac>  i want to start a jar in linux. All works fine but at the point in the program where other jar libraries are needed (additional ones) it gives me a NoClassDefFoundError. So my question is: do i have to set additional path in linux for those extra jar files?
[11:22] <masonus> sterg: i'm setting up the new partitions now
[11:22] <masonus> stefg*
[11:22] <stefg> got you, masonus
[11:23] <Otaimerz> hye.. why my livecd can install in another pc.. not to my pc/
[11:23] <Otaimerz> when i install in my pc it say system halted after loading linux kernel
[11:23] <bulmer> adac yes, have them include on the $CLASSPATH
[11:24] <boghog> hi. I have a gentoo machine and an ubuntu machine. both run the openssh server. both can ssh to eachother (from a terminal), however, I can't seem to connect to the gentoo machine through nautilus using the sftp:// (and ssh://) protocol, and vice versa, from ubuntu -> gentoo I get a timeout (which makes no sense to me because connectivity is good - i can connect to it from the terminal after all) and the other way around (gentoo -> ubu
[11:24] <boghog> ntu) I get "cannot display sftp:// etc.". I'm running Gutry Ribbon Tribe 5
[11:24] <masonus> stefg; which option is ext2 for type?
[11:24] <jgonzalez> hi there, does Synaptic take care of dependencies the way aptitude does? I mean, I think that when I uninstall a package I've installed using Synaptics its dependencies are left installed
[11:25] <stefg> masonus: all partitions need to be type 83, except sdb3 /swap) which needs type 82
[11:25] <DrOwl17> hellowl
[11:25] <boghog> also, both machines can open ssh://localhost  / sftp://localhost, so sftp should be working
[11:25] <masonus> stefg: ok
[11:25] <frojnd> ok guys.. I got extra monitor witch isn't LCD. How can I use this monitor as extended monitor?
[11:26] <frojnd> which*
[11:26] <boghog> other protocols like smb:// and ftp:// work
[11:26] <Strangelv> "Has anyone heard of TTY consoles locking up the machine when used?  This is combined with long pauses with the installer for Edgy Eft AMD62, Gutsy Tribe 3, and the snapshots for Ubuntu and Kubuntu from the 18th.  I have not reproduced this with Knoppix 4.0 or Libranet 2.7, two other Debian based distros I had handy (albeit 32 bit, not 64 -- may need a non-Ubuntu 64 and a 32 bit Ubuntu to test)
[11:26] <luk3> hi is anyone in here familiar with poptop and pptpd?
[11:27] <adac> bulmer: jsut to include the directory or every single jar file?
[11:27] <adac> *just
[11:27] <luk3> i have a slight routing issue
[11:27] <luk3> i can connect to my server from the outside and ping my machines but i cannot access a web server that i have set up
[11:28] <masonus> stefg: almost done, should I tag one of them as bootable?
[11:28] <DrOwl17> i just  rebooted my box after doing updates, now my terminal text size is about 1 micron
[11:28] <stefg> masonus: yeah, , sdb1
[11:28] <bulmer> adac: try it, if not, include the jar file on the CLASSPATH
[11:28] <DrOwl17> im using the bata version is it geeny or some such thing
[11:28] <masonus> stefg: lol, I Should have figured that out. he he he
[11:28] <adac> bulmer: ok thx!
[11:29] <SKiZzO87> good morning..i have lost this file usr/bin/strip...how i can repair?
[11:29] <bk__> Hi. I am running Ubuntu Dapper 6.06 and was wondering if anyone has ever had any issues torrenting using this dist?
[11:29] <EvaLuaTe> how do i restart networking ?
[11:29] <aria> halo
[11:29] <compengi> i installed windows after installing feisty i couldn't get the dual boot menu so i followed the link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 to install grub but eventually what i ended up with is that i got auto boot to ubuntu and not a dual boot to both OS
[11:29] <masonus> stefg: it told me that it wrote the table, the the reread failed and that I should reboot to update the table
[11:29] <bk__> I am using rtorrent 0.7.6 / libtorrent 0.11.6, I am directly connected to the internet with no routers infront of me.
[11:29] <Strangelv> EvaLuaTe: /etc/init.d/networking restart
[11:30] <Tech-Mike> sup peeps...need some help with a usb wireless adapter ... i know this might not be the channel for that but im also in #ndiswrapper trying to get help, now my prob...
[11:30] <Strangelv> EvaLuaTe: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[11:30] <Tech-Mike> ndiswrapper installed my driver, but iwconfig doesnt display my device
[11:30] <SKiZzO87> good morning..i have lost this file usr/bin/strip...how i can repair?
[11:30] <stefg> masonus: so if cfdisk succeded you have /unformatted/ partitions now. You can present this to the installer, just make chure to check the format boxes. the error shouldn't be a problem, but you could reboot if you want to be safe
[11:30] <masonus> stefg: let me try the installer first
[11:30] <EvaLuaTe> ok, thanks Strangelv :)
[11:31] <SKiZzO87> good morning..i have lost this file usr/bin/strip...how i can repair?
[11:31] <stefg> masonus: ha... better idea... unmount all disk, unplug the disk and relug it in.. /Then/ start the installer
[11:31] <Tech-Mike> ...any takers?
[11:32] <masonus> /stefg: how do I Unmount all disks?
[11:32] <Le^stat> is there a command for installing a .tar.gz?
[11:32] <bulmer> SKiZzO87: umm you may have to re-install binutils? or find it on the liveCD rom?
[11:32] <Le^stat> <--newvie
[11:33] <stefg> masonus: sudo umount -a ... will give some 'unable,,,' messages but that's fine
[11:33] <SlimeyPete> Le^stat: it's a package of files, a bit like a zip file
[11:33] <Le^stat> i know how to install a .deb
[11:33] <SlimeyPete> Le^stat: extract the files using "tar -xvzf tarfile.tar.gz"
[11:33] <Le^stat> is it the same?
[11:33] <SlimeyPete> then read the README or INSTALL file
[11:34] <Le^stat> ok
[11:34] <serine> why nvidia drivers aren't installed by default on gutsy tribe 5 live cd? if I install them I need to restart to take an effect but since this is live cd I'm not able to test compiz-fusion without installing
[11:34] <Tech-Mike> can anybody help with installing a usb wireless adapter?
[11:34] <SlimeyPete> Le^stat: no. tar files are "dumber" - they're more like ZIPs, just collections of files all wrapped up in one big file.
[11:34] <SKiZzO87> tnx bulmer
[11:34] <masonus> stefg: I did that but when I plugged the disk back in ubuntu found the old file system
[11:35] <stefg> masonus: i see... anyway. try if the installer manages this, if not you have to reboot
[11:36] <Le^stat> there is no install file
[11:36] <Le^stat> only a makefile and a install.sh
[11:36] <masonus> stefg: ok
[11:36] <EvaLuaTe> ok, is there a way to test if eth0:1, eth0:2 and so on are working properly ?
[11:36] <stefg> masonus: actually i think you should reboot now
[11:37] <hmhowie> EvaLuaTe: i've never seen eth0:1, eth0:2 etc. do you have a network card with multiple ports?
[11:37] <EvaLuaTe> huh ?
[11:38] <EvaLuaTe> i've been told to edit /etc/network/interfaces like that
[11:38] <EvaLuaTe> because i got multiple IP's for my connection
[11:38] <hmhowie> EvaLuaTe: on the computers i've used, the network cards are numbered eth0, eth1 ...
[11:38] <masonus> stefg: my mount points should be /boot, /, swap, /home
[11:38] <masonus> stefg: right?
[11:38] <hmhowie> EvaLuaTe: oh, okay. that would make sense :)
[11:38] <stefg> masonus: /boot , / , swap , /home
[11:39] <masonus> stefg: got it
[11:39] <bulmer> hmhowie if he was using ifconfig  he can have an alias such as eth0:1  if he uses iproute2 ip a nic card can have as many ip as it can
[11:39] <Jowi> EvaLuaTe, "sudo ethtool eth0"
[11:39] <hmhowie> EvaLuaTe: try ping with the -I option
[11:39] <Jowi> EvaLuaTe, that will tell if you get a link at least
[11:39] <Le^stat> so how do i install a vga driver file if there is no install.txt
[11:40] <Le^stat> in the tar.gz
[11:40] <EvaLuaTe> hmm
[11:40] <hmhowie> EvaLuaTe: so ping www.google.com -I eth0:1
[11:40] <masonus> stefg: so far so good, last time I forgot to check the format box :)
[11:40] <EvaLuaTe> HOT
[11:40] <EvaLuaTe> IT WORKS
[11:40] <masonus> stefg: I Think that has been the '/' of all of my problems
[11:40] <EvaLuaTe> wow, this is so cool =)
[11:41] <EvaLuaTe> i can't believe it actually works :)
[11:41] <hmhowie> bulmer: oh, okay :)
[11:41] <stefg> masonus: hehe .... but we have another catch to discuss while the installer is working...
[11:41] <masonus> stefg: whats that?
[11:41] <hmhowie> EvaLuaTe: networking under linux is really advanced. i know the solaris and *bsd freaks always say how linux is horrible, but i'd like to see their operating systems do what linux can to a network packet :)
[11:42] <EvaLuaTe> :)
[11:42] <stefg> masonus: your device numbers for grub will change, depending on what disk you boot from. so now it's seen as (hd1,0) by grub, but when you boot from it, most bios'es will make the external (hd0)...
[11:43] <masonus> stefg: son of a bitch... lol, I told it to set GRUB to boot from /dev/sdc1
[11:43] <masonus> stefg: because it renamed my drive to sdc when I plugged it back in
[11:43] <masonus> stefg: so you think it will be pointing to a drive that doesn't exist thanks to my bios?
[11:44] <stefg> masonus: that's fine for now.... but you have to revise /boot/grub/menu.lst on the newly installed system before you reboot to it
[11:44] <masonus> stefg: ok, its about 50% on the install, i'll let you know when it finishes
[11:45] <karol> siema
[11:45] <bk__> what is a good way to log all outgoing/incoming tcp/udp connections?
[11:45] <frojnd1> ok guys is it possible to change what is primary monitor and what is extened monitor right/left or do I have to grab monitor and put it on the left by hand ?
[11:45] <bk__> and if there are any errors?
[11:45] <masonus> stefg: my list is so long of things to do. ubuntu did not recognize my native resolution on this laptop so i'll need to install the restricted drivers I think
[11:45] <masonus> stefg: it doesn't recognize my sound card, or my atheros WIFI card
[11:46] <kalmah> masonus: toshiba laptop?
[11:46] <ghatak> Hi, i installed apache2, but it wont start. when i do /etc/init.d/apache2 start. nothing happens and no errors in errorlog
[11:46] <Jowi> frojnd, you can do that in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:46] <masonus> stefg: these are all things I want to try to fix after I log into the external drive's new OS
[11:46] <ghatak> what is wrong ?
[11:46] <stefg> masonus: that's all manageable....
[11:46] <masonus> kalmah: acer 3680-2682
[11:47] <bulmer> bk__ you can use iptables ip_conntrack to track them all, so your iptables have to then pass it on to some log files
[11:47] <kalmah> they are easy problems to fix, a little google work and my laptop works fine
[11:47] <masonus> stefg: i'm glad to hear it, I just finished playing around with SLED 10 which I Got in the linux pro magazine.
[11:47] <masonus> stefg: it recognized more than ubuntu has, but I want to use Ubuntu.
[11:48] <Jowi> frojnd, for example you can set screen 0 to be left of screen 1. see here (bottom of page) http://wiki.osuosl.org/display/howto/Set+Up+Dual+Monitors+-+xorg.conf
[11:48] <masonus> stefg: I'm piecing together an ubuntu machine one part at a time using the compatibility listings in the ubuntu forums
[11:48] <masonus> stefg: that will be a desktop machine, but its going to be quite a while before its finished
[11:49] <stefg> masonus: make sure to get a nvidia card for it... ati sucks bad in its current stat of drivers
[11:49] <masonus> stefg: until then, I Have to make this laptop satisfy my linux needs
[11:49] <masonus> stefg: I did
[11:50] <masonus> stefg: do you know if there is support for SLI with ubuntu?
[11:50] <masonus> stefg: the card I bought is SLI ready
[11:50] <stefg> masonus: nvidia has it, don't know about ati
[11:50] <masonus> stefg: so is the ASUS Motherboard
[11:51] <masonus> stefg: well, I WOn't be buying a 2nd graphics card anytime soon, so thats a fish to catch another day
[11:51] <masonus> stefg; 76% done,.
[11:51] <tarelerulz> I had friend that  up graded his computer and give me the old one . It is still way better then what I have it has a amd 64  and  one gb of ram and I don't know the video card ,but I saw him run doom 3 on it .
[11:52] <Strangelv> :: will settle for Kubuntu running stabily on his new notebook, but this is an increasingly iffy-looking proposation
[11:52] <Le^stat> do i have to install "tar" in feisty?
[11:52] <kalmah> tarelerulz: lspci
[11:52] <masonus> stefg: now I am waiting for it to download various packages.
[11:52] <Le^stat> ~/install$ tar zxvf i915Graphics.tar.gz
[11:52] <Le^stat> tar: invalid option --
[11:52] <Le^stat> Try `tar --help' or `tar --usage' for more information.
[11:53] <rafael__> hello
[11:53] <doctorow> I have a lenovo X60 running Feisty. I've plugged an external LCD into it and it's come up as a mirror of my internal screen. Is there a way to us the external monitor as a "second display" with different windows, etc, from the internal? Thanks.
[11:53] <Strangelv> "Hello
[11:53] <rafael__> how can i change the default colour gray of the main bar to black ?

[11:54] <benzs_s> hey, when i try to upgrade (sudo apt-get upgrade) i get the following packages that need to be upgraded but... aren't being upgraded: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37890/
[11:54] <rafael__> Strangelv, yes.. gnome
[11:54] <benzs_s> does anyone have any idea what's going on
[11:54] <rafael__> sorry. my mistake
[11:54] <kalmah> Yeah, that's it tarelerulz
[11:54] <tarelerulz> Kalmah is that any good ?
[11:55] <masonus> stefg: stuck at 83% downloading packages.
[11:55] <rafael__> :(
[11:55] <Jowi> benzs_s, try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[11:55] <stefg> masonus: the mirrot bight suffer heavy load
[11:55] <kalmah> If the GPU is able to handle doom 3, it should be fine ;p
[11:55] <stefg> masonus: the mirror might suffer heavy load
[11:55] <masonus> stefg: its no problem, if the packages time out I'm sure there will be a way to for me to download them later.
[11:56] <stefg> masonus: just give it some more time
[11:56] <tarelerulz> Kalmah , I don't think I am going to be playing doom 3 anytime soon ,but it would nice to know I could .
[11:56] <masonus> stefg: no problem
[11:56] <masonus> stefg: I'm gooing to make some coffee, I'll be afk a few minutes
[11:56] <stefg> good idea
[11:56] <kalmah> Just saying, if it's able to run Doom 3, it should be a decent card at least
[11:57] <masonus> stefg: he he he, its 3;00 here.
[11:58] <Novocaine_> hello. I'm trying to get my USB ADSL modem working under ubuntu. I'm using eciadsl (which supports my device) and rp-pppoe. everything including synching appears to work fine, but I don't get any answers to the ConfReq's pppd sends and I get an LCP timeout. (modem: zyxel prestige 630-41 globespan chipset, provider: sunrise)
[11:58] <masonus> wow, lots of people being dropped
[11:58] <Novocaine_> been trying to get this to work for two days now and some people apparently have gotten it to work according to some forums...
[11:59] <tarelerulz> I have been have such fun with Ubuntu installing it on my computer and getting it to work .  The emachine , laptop and now this computer .
[11:59] <masonus> is there anyway for me to turn off system messages in gaim?
[11:59] <masonus> for this IRC chat
[11:59] <stefg> Novocaine_: MTU( settings ?
[11:59] <masonus> I don't wanna see the server messages telling me about people joining and quitting
[11:59] <MeRodent> masonus, not sure about gaim but xChat can do it.
[12:00] <Novocaine_> tried without mtu and with mtu=1432.
[12:00] <masonus> MeRodent: I'd use it, but I'm currently in the middle of an install on the livecd
[12:00] <stefg> masonus: gaim sucks as IRC client... xchat ... chatzilla
[12:00] <kalmah> i like bitchx
[12:00] <masonus> stefg: I agree wholeheartedly
[12:00] <masonus> stefg: I use xchat in vista as well
[12:01] <slapfaceware> what server runs on port 34
[12:01] <masonus> stefg: I hope I will be able to kick windows eventually
[12:01] <masonus> stefg: but its hard because I Want to become a developer
[12:01] <masonus> stefg: hard to make money if you don't know windows developement
[12:01] <masonus> stefg: I hope that the .net 3.0 framework gets completely implemented for linux
[12:02] <masonus> stefg: that would give me a lot of breathing room
[12:02] <kalmah> masonus: if you want it bad enough, you can make money doing anything you want ;p
[12:02] <stefg> masonus: there are gaim plugins, though which can make it suck a bit less. but still no match for xchat
[12:02] <ryaren> How can I mount a winchester with read and write access by my hand?
[12:02] <masonus> stefg: :)
[12:02] <ryaren> What is tha correct option?
[12:02] <Jowi> slapfaceware, "sudo lsof -i tcp:34" then look up the PID with "ps -fg PID"
[12:02] <masonus> ryaren: load a few rounds and pull the trigger
[12:02] <masonus> :P
[12:02] <stefg> lol
[12:02] <ryaren> very funny
[12:02] <wazzzzzap> hi guys, under ubuntu feisty fawn i want to execute : copy /b boot.bin + kernel.bin osimage.img      but than it tells me : copy command not found...so have anyone a idea what packages I have to install or that it is maybe some other command in ubuntu?
[12:02] <Jowi> slapfaceware, for example. there are probably other ways as well :)
[12:03] <MeRodent> wazzzzzap, cp
[12:03] <masonus> stefg: installation complete
[12:03] <masonus> stefg: I Have 2 tests, boot with external attached and detached
[12:03] <masonus> stefg: I'll be back within 10 minutes or so
[12:03] <stefg> masonus: wait!
[12:03] <masonus> stefG: hopefully in my newly installed OS
[12:03] <stefg> masonus: wait!
[12:03] <masonus> stefg: lol thats right
[12:03] <stefg> masonus: wait!
[12:03] <masonus> stefg: have to fix the conf file first
[12:03] <masonus> stefg: <-- awaiting input
[12:03] <wazzzzzap> oh i forgot merodent..your right *bumping head against table* i have worked to much with windows ..thx ^^
[12:03] <slapfaceware> IT'S NOT THERE

[12:04] <ubotu> wazzzzzap: 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
[12:04] <stefg> masonus: so the installer is done and closed now?
[12:04] <masonus> stefg: absolutely
[12:04] <MeRodent> ok, stupid question. How do I find the owner of a disk partition?
[12:04] <wazzzzzap> thx jowi :)
[12:04] <Jowi> wazzzzzap, no probs. very good to start on that link.
[12:04] <stefg> masonus: get back to terminal, and just enter 'mount'. is the external still mounted ?
[12:05] <masonus> stefg: I'm not sure how to read the output

[12:06] <damian> hi
[12:07] <masonus> stefg: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37891/
[12:07] <damian> just curious about a compile error i havent seen before
[12:07] <damian> configure: error: *** QTDIR must be defined,
[12:08] <jack_jimmy_jeffr> I just finished running the text installer, and it never asked me for a root password. What is the default root PW?
[12:08] <masonus> damian: what kind of compiler?
[12:08] <Jowi> !root | jack_jimmy_jeffr
[12:08] <ubotu> jack_jimmy_jeffr: 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
[12:08] <stefg> masonus: ok, so 'sudo -s' for a root termina
[12:08] <damian> gcc c++
[12:08] <damian> is qt installed by default?
[12:09] <masonus> damian: could be that QTDIR Is a variable that was used without being declared
[12:09] <ryaren> How can I mount a winchester with read and write access by my hand?
[12:09] <stefg> masonus: so the external is /dev/sdc now?
[12:09] <paulowsky_> some synaptic package updates are failing on ubuntu feisty, anybody notice?
[12:09] <masonus> stefg; yes
[12:09] <stefg> masonus: mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt
[12:10] <masonus> stefg: it tells me that it can't mount the superblock
[12:10] <damian> what is the qt dummy package called...or what package do i install?
[12:10] <masonus> stefg:mount: /dev/sdc1: can't read superblock
[12:10] <stefg> masonus: crap
[12:10] <damian> im guessing qt3-dev-tools will fix this?
[12:10] <damian> *qt4
[12:10] <masonus> damian: have you tried poking through the source for "QTDIR"
[12:11] <masonus> damian: oops sorry, looks like someone else had an answer for you :)
[12:11] <masonus> damian: I think i was on the wrong track anyway
[12:11] <masonus> stefg: so whats that mean?
[12:12] <EvaLuaTe> umm, hello again
[12:12] <stefg> masonus: ok, so you need to reboot anyway. try first without the external plugged in, to check if your win boots and your MBR on the internal survived. then plug in the external (it won't boot) and boot the Live CD up again
[12:12] <masonus> stefg: ok, brb
[12:13] <EvaLuaTe> it didn't work to connect through other IP's through the router, so i connected the box directly to the modem
[12:13] <EvaLuaTe> and now when restarting networking i get a: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assing requested address, error
[12:13] <EvaLuaTe> :/
[12:13] <EvaLuaTe> any idea ?
[12:14] <jkp> question: is there a standard way to configure a system so locate is always up to date?  do i just need a cron job? or is there some more efficient way to keep the db in step
[12:14] <wazzzzzap> Can anyone tell me how can i join my boot.bin and kernel.bin  to an image ?
[12:14] <jack_jimmy_jeffr> jkp: cron works just fine, and should provide all the control you need
[12:15] <jack_jimmy_jeffr> I usually set it to run once daily at a time when I'm normally sleeping
[12:15] <jkp> jack_jimmy_jeffr: only thing is locate takes ages to update: is there some way to get it to be more efficient...ie diffing between the last time it was run?
[12:15] <Jowi> EvaLuaTe, modem -> router = router get dynamic ip address. modem -> computer NIC = NIC get dynamic ip. didn't you say you set up the interfaces manually?
[12:15] <EvaLuaTe> yes, i did set them up
[12:16] <EvaLuaTe> but that's how i should do it, that's what the ISP told me
[12:16] <EvaLuaTe> i got a /28 class i can use
[12:16] <jack_jimmy_jeffr> jkp: for it to diff between the last time it was run, it still has to check all the files to see if they are different...
[12:17] <damian> why cant i use my normal 192.....etc address with linux to get my dns, im having to type it manually into the network config every time i reboot and its anoying. can i atleast get the network dialog to save it somehow?
[12:17] <jkp> jack_jimmy_jeffr: true
[12:17] <Jowi> EvaLuaTe, sorry, got to go.
[12:17] <vsayikiran> hello everbody, can anyone tell me how to format a disk in ubuntu
[12:17] <aLeSD> where I can download the beta of ubuntu 7.10 ?
[12:18] <jack_jimmy_jeffr> jkp: Like I said, just set it for a time when you aren't normally using the comp. And there is never such a time, just change the nice level of updatedb (man nice)
[12:18] <jkp> jack_jimmy_jeffr: right
[12:18] <jkp> yeah, its for a server
[12:18] <jkp> i dont use it a lot, in anger anyway
[12:18] <vsayikiran> iwant to format ntfs parttition to ext3 plz can anyone help me
[12:19] <jack_jimmy_jeffr> vsayikiran: mke2fs -j (name of win partition)
[12:19] <jack_jimmy_jeffr> vasyikiran: type 'man mke2fs' at the console
[12:19] <vsayikiran> i want to format ntfs partition to ext3
[12:20] <tarelerulz> Any of you every had that totem glich where it don't repeat forever ?
[12:20] <jack_jimmy_jeffr> mke2fs will do that for you.
[12:20] <jack_jimmy_jeffr> the -j option makes it ext3 instead of ext2
[12:20] <vsayikiran> i have typed but i am new to this OS so tell me the exact syntax
[12:20] <damian> why cant i use my normal 192.....etc address with linux to get my dns, im having to type it manually into the network config every time i reboot and its anoying. can i atleast get the network dialog to save it somehow?
[12:20] <jack_jimmy_jeffr> if the partition with windows is /dev/hda3 type 'mke2fs -j /dev/hda3'
[12:21] <erUSUL> vsayikiran:  mke2fs -j -O dir_index (name of win partition)
[12:21] <erUSUL> vsayikiran: or better yet use gparted GUI
[12:21] <erUSUL> !gparted | vsayikiran
[12:21] <ubotu> vsayikiran: GParted is is a !GUI partitioning program. Type  sudo apt-get install gparted  in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[12:21] <vsayikiran> why -O option is required
[12:21] <jack_jimmy_jeffr> gparted++
[12:22] <erUSUL> vsayikiran: it is just a option to make ookup in directories faster
[12:22] <laz666> zommmmmg
[12:23] <MasonUS> stefg: i'm back
[12:23] <stefg> MasonUS: so?
[12:24] <Borszczuk> hi
[12:24] <lizard_> hi guys im new to this can anyone tell how to make my drives writable as the permission is set to root
[12:24] <stefg> MasonUS: so your internal MBR was alright, and you are on the Live CD session again?
[12:24] <MasonUS> stefg: works like a charm. windows booted right up
[12:24] <MasonUS> stefg: yes, exactly
[12:24] <MasonUS> stefg: I managed to not touch my internal drive at all, as planned.
[12:25] <stefg> MasonUS: so check waht
[12:25] <stefg> MasonUS: so check where the external is now
[12:25] <MasonUS> stefg: ok
[12:25] <lizard_> ! how do i make my drives writable as the permission is set to root
[12:26] <marlun> Can I find if a files sticky-bit is set with the find command? =)
[12:27] <MasonUS> stefg: sdb
[12:27] <MasonUS> stefg: /dev/sdb
[12:27] <MasonUS> stefg: but its telling me that it can't mount sdb1
[12:27] <MasonUS> stefg: i'm going to try reformatting it
[12:27] <MasonUS> stefg: wait
[12:27] <Eerazor> hello everyone
[12:27] <MasonUS> stefg: no i'm not
[12:28] <MasonUS> stefg: because it has all of my boot files on it
[12:28] <Eerazor> i have a bit of a problem, probaly with an easy solution would love some quick help
[12:28] <MasonUS> stefg: well, no it doesn't, because I can't mount it
[12:28] <MasonUS> stefg: can't read superblock
[12:29] <[nrx] > morning folks
[12:29] <rafael__> how to unmark  visible mounts
[12:29] <Eerazor> I have Ubuntu 7.04 and have connected it to the Windows Domain controler. That works fine. Problem is the Soundcard is deaktivated when i log on to the Windows Username. The normal Ubuntu Username allows usage for the soundcard... so in a word.. HELP
[12:29] <rafael__> that of windows partition on the desktop
[12:29] <rafael__> app-something
[12:29] <EvaLuaTe> is there a way i could find out the MAC address of my ethernet card ?
[12:29] <erUSUL> Eerazor: maybe you need to add the "windows username" to the audio group?
[12:29] <stefg> MasonUS: so it seems it would have taken a reboot after repartitioning the drive. check sudo fdisk -l once again now
[12:30] <Eerazor> ok will try that
[12:30] <erUSUL> EvaLuaTe: ip a
[12:30] <damian> checking QTDIR... configure: error: *** QTDIR must be defined, or --with-qtdir option given
[12:30] <damian> still confused
[12:30] <MasonUS> stefg: everything looks right
[12:30] <erUSUL> EvaLuaTe: or ifconfig -a
[12:31] <Eerazor> ok... uhm how do i add a windows user to the Group manager in Ubuntu lol
[12:31] <stefg> MasonUS: can you see the drives in nautilus' 'Computer' view ?
[12:31] <Lemming> ${string/%substring/replacement} <- any ideas why this would not be working in my shell?
[12:32] <aa_> hi, can I make an onscreen keyboard appear in the login screen for a tablet?
[12:32] <Lemming> ./coolscript.sh: 1: Syntax error: Bad substitution
[12:32] <Lemming> actually not line 1
[12:32] <Lemming> but that's the error message
[12:32] <erUSUL> Eerazor: i'm not sure... when you talk abaout "windows user" it is a linux user that has the same login and password as a AD user?
[12:32] <aa_> also, if I could just gdm not require a login, that would be great
[12:33] <aa_> I can't use the preferences, because I can't run an x session with gdm running
[12:33] <MasonUS> stefg: I can see the drives on my desktop
[12:33] <EvaLuaTe> erUSUL, when doing 'ip a', which is the MAC address there ?
[12:33] <EvaLuaTe> link/ether ?
[12:33] <Eerazor> nope, the ADS Login details differ to the Ubuntu user details
[12:33] <stefg> MasonUS: are you able to open them and get contents displayed ?
[12:33] <Lord_Drachenblut> aa_: i think an onscreen keyboard is a defualt in gutsy but i'm not sure about it
[12:33] <erUSUL> EvaLuaTe: yes in my eth0 that would be  link/ether 00:13:8f:b3:14:a4
[12:33] <EvaLuaTe> oh, ok
[12:33] <EvaLuaTe> thank you
[12:33] <aa_> Lord_Drachenblut: unfortunately I can't install gutsy right now
[12:33] <MasonUS> stefg: yes for '/' and for /home
[12:34] <MasonUS> stefg: but not for the swap, which I think is correct, and not for the /boot
[12:34] <aa_> yay, found a posting!
[12:35] <erUSUL> EvaLuaTe: so... at which moment the soundcard is desactivated? when you mount windows shares?
[12:35] <lizard_> what do u need to wright to a reiser fs partition
[12:35] <yellowChicken> is there a domain tracer program?
[12:35] <stefg> MasonUS: so something went wrong with the install... i think you have to redo it
[12:35] <Lord_Drachenblut> aa_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=236405 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=456110
[12:35] <damian> checking QTDIR... configure: error: *** QTDIR must be defined, or --with-qtdir option given
[12:35] <MasonUS> stefg: I see, I'll try that right away.
[12:35] <damian> still confused...anyone?
[12:35] <erUSUL> lizard_: nothing special... just mount the partition and if you have correct permissions everything should work
[12:35] <MasonUS> stefg: let me make sure I have the steps down
[12:36] <MasonUS> stefg: delete and recreate /boot partition
[12:36] <erUSUL> yellowChicken: domain tracer??
[12:36] <MasonUS> stefg: run reinstaller?
[12:36] <aa_> Lord_Drachenblut: thanks
[12:36] <stefg> MasonUS: but you have the drive partitioned already, so it should go well now (given you haven't done a mistake).
[12:36] <damian> got it:)
[12:36] <MasonUS> stefg: the other partitions are working fine, so I don't think I need to delete and recreate those
[12:37] <lizard_> erUSUL_: how do i make my drives writable as the permission is set to root
[12:37] <Eerazor> ok will play around with it, thank you all for the quick support
[12:37] <Lord_Drachenblut> aa_: no prob
[12:37] <damian> i have to sudo a make yeah?
[12:37] <Lord_Drachenblut> aa
[12:37] <MasonUS> stefg: ok, give me a few minutes, I'll let you know how it goes
[12:37] <stefg> MasonUS: not even the /boot. just check if the partition is alright by trying to format it now
[12:37] <damian> and should i sudo configure?
[12:37] <Lord_Drachenblut> aa_: the second link seems to be the more usefull one
[12:37] <yellowChicken> erUSUL: find out how authoritative/non authoritative answers are given to me
[12:37] <MasonUS> stefg: using gparted?
[12:37] <erUSUL> lizard_: make directories on the root of the partition and give *those* directories the permisions you want (for example make your user the owner)
[12:38] <stefg> MasonUS: yeah, you could use that
[12:38] <yellowChicken> erUSUL: http://www.domaintracer.com/screenshots/screenshot.asp
[12:38] <erUSUL> yellowChicken: something like dig? (man dig)
[12:39] <MasonUS> stefg: it formatted and now I can read it
[12:39] <MasonUS> stefg: I'll run the installer agin
[12:39] <MasonUS> stefg: again*
[12:39] <stefg> MasonUS: right
[12:40] <MasonUS> stefg: I must have goofed something up the first time I formatted that /boot part

[12:44] <MasonUS> stefg: its currently set to install grub to (hd0)
[12:45] <MasonUS> stefg: now shouldn't I set that to /dev/sdb1?
[12:45] <stefg> MasonUS: so choosing /dev/sdb is fine (hd1) , just the menu.lst needs editing after install
[12:45] <Lemming> http://pastebin.com/m31900694 - Any ideas why this would throw "lol.sh: 4: Syntax error: Bad substitution" ?
[12:46] <stefg> MasonUS: not sdb1 but sdb .... you want it in MBR not in the partiton boot sector
[12:46] <MasonUS> stefg: ok, here we go again on the install
[12:46] <MasonUS> /stefg well crap, I put (hd1)
[12:46] <MasonUS> stefg: I Hope that does the same thing

[12:48] <Lemming> Any ideas on my bash problem?
[12:48] <stefg> MasonUS: and it'll pay off taking the extra work of doing it right from the beginning
[12:49] <MasonUS> stefg: i'm going to need to take a lot of time and learn how to use the command line.

[12:49] <giox> hello everybody does any one can tell me where I can find documentation on how to setup a usb to serial adapter on feisty 7.04
[12:49] <MasonUS> stefg: I Know its capabilities extend way beyond that
[12:51] <erUSUL> Lemming: are you sure you can mix % and / in the same expression?
[12:51] <Smokem> synaptic only shows ndiswrapper 1.38, how do i update to 1.47
[12:52] <coucou747> salut all
[12:52] <stefg> Smokem: you would have to build it from source
[12:52] <erUSUL> Smokem: only way is manually
[12:52] <Smokem> downloaded the tar.gz configd, made, and installed but ndiswrapper -v still shows 1.38
[12:52] <MasonUS> stefg: 54%
[12:52] <Lemming> erUSUL, got it from http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/string-manipulation.html
[12:52] <giox> Smokem: go to google and type ndiswrapper the first option there you will find the 1.47
[12:52] <Lemming> "${string/%substring/replacement}
[12:52] <Lemming>     If $substring matches back end of $string, substitute $replacement for $substring."
[12:52] <erUSUL> Smokem: uninstall the packaged one
[12:53] <Nalleman> Will compiz fusion be integrated in the next ubuntu distro?
[12:53] <Smokem> well with sudo apt-get remove ndiswrapper it sez package not found
[12:54] <giox> Smokem: use this link http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/joomla/index.php?/content/view/17/2/
[12:55] <MasonUS> Does Beryl turn every window into a plane and then texture it with what X would normally paint on it?
[12:55] <MasonUS> I can't think of how else you could have that smooth wobble effect.
[12:55] <giox> Smokem: or type sudo wget http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/joomla/index.php?/content/view/17/2/
[12:55] <MasonUS> right on top of the cube
[12:55] <giox> Smokem: That should do it
[12:55] <Lemming> erUSUL, sent the script to a friend, the substring replacement works fine
[12:55] <Smokem> i8 ill try
[12:56] <MasonUS> stefg: 70%
[12:56] <Lemming> just not on my end
[12:56] <erUSUL> Lemming: yes but one of your strings is a wildcard .* not sure if that will work....
[12:57] <giox> does anyone can tell me how to setup a usb to serial adapter on feisty
[12:57] <Smokem> i already downloaded that, unpacked, did make, sudo make install and ndiswrapper still shows v 1.38
[12:57] <erUSUL> Lemming: so it works in other version of bash but not yours...
[12:57] <Lemming> erUSUL, I think so
[12:57] <giox> Smokem: you have to remove the old version first
[12:58] <erUSUL> Lemming: i do not think can help you further. my bashscript-fu is limited :S
[12:58] <Smokem> how i do that... cuz it doesnt show up in synaptic and apt-remove ndiswrapper sez pakcage not found
[12:58] <Smokem> *apt-get remove
[12:58] <MasonUS> stefg: downloading the packages much faster this time
[12:58] <Lemming> erUSUL, I presume you're on ubuntu?
[12:59] <erUSUL> Smokem: ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 ??
[12:59] <erUSUL> Lemming: yes
[12:59] <Smokem> ya i had that but uninstalled
[01:00] <dn4> Who is gonna wear their "Don't Taze me Bro." T-shirts today?
[01:00] <Lemming> Could you see if this simple script runs on your end, and I'll get my friend to run it on his? http://pastebin.com/m2d1710ea
[01:00] <saeed662> LOL @ Dont taze me bro
[01:01] <giox> Smokem: 1: sudo rmmod ndiswrapper 2: sudo apt-get remove ndiswrapper-utils
[01:01] <giox> Smokem: Now you need to hunt down and find all instances of ndiswrapper left on your file system.
[01:01] <giox> The easiest way to do this is to run a search, to find Ubuntu's search function look under the Places entry on the top left corner of your computer. Type in ndiswrapper and look in folder : file system.

[01:02] <Pir1> lots of rain
[01:02] <giox> Smokem: To become root and look for these files you need.
[01:02] <giox> In a terminal type:
[01:02] <giox> sudo nautilus
[01:02] <mcabra> hop hop jest tu ktos?
[01:03] <saeed662> i seen it on the news looks pretty bad pril.
[01:03] <giox> Smokem: Delete all instances of ndiswrapper. Then run the two previous commands over again.
[01:03] <giox> In a terminal type:
[01:03] <giox> sudo rmmod ndiswrapper
[01:03] <giox> Then:
[01:03] <giox> sudo apt-get remove ndiswrapper-utils
[01:03] <Lemming> or 'gksudo nautilus' in alt+f2 dialog
[01:03] <Lemming> if you don't want the terminal :)
[01:04] <lobster> server irc.linuxfromscratch.org
[01:04] <giox> Smokem: after that you can install the new version
[01:04] <luca> hi to everyone
[01:04] <saeed662> hello
[01:04] <Pir1> hi luca
[01:04] <rediz_> hiya
[01:04] <ArmedKing> Does ubuntu come with a firewall? if yes where can i find it
[01:04] <luca> can someone explain me how to install the newest Nvidia drivers without trashing my box please? :)
[01:04] <[nrx] > !nvidia | luca
[01:04] <ubotu> luca: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:04] <rediz_> get firestarter.
[01:05] <Pir1> you can add on a firewall GUI configuration called firestarter
[01:05] <saeed662> yea firestarter yo
[01:05] <Lemming> sorry gotta run, thanks for your help erUSUL
[01:05] <Lemming> o/
[01:05] <Smokem> ill give it a shot, one thing i noticed before when using search in nautilus - if i run a search from say "/" it doesnt search entire filesystem
[01:05] <saeed662> go to applications click on add/remove programs and install it from there
[01:05] <luca> [nrx]  I do not want the repo drivers, rather the newst ones from the Nvidia site
[01:05] <luca> :)
[01:05] <MasonUS> stefg: the installation will be complete within about 3 more minutes I think
[01:06] <Pir1> question: theme ubuntu: how to configure the color of a theme in ubuntu. fedora has clor-chooser, but that ain't working in ubuntu......
[01:06] <[nrx] > luca: there's no guarantee that it wont 'trash' your box then :)
[01:06] <stefg> MasonUS: ok... then we'll have to look at /boot/grub/menu.lst in the installed system
[01:06] <saeed662> i got a question about firestarter , how come every time you run ubuntu you would need to run firestarter manually?
[01:07] <Pir1> saeed662: really?
[01:07] <MasonUS> stefg: so I'll just CD to that partition and then gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst?
[01:07] <giox> Smokem:  If you have any questions go to this page is a step by step on how to remove it and install it http://ubuntu1501.blogspot.com/2007/01/fixing-wifi-on-dell-1501.html
[01:07] <stefg> MasonUS: i think you first have to mount /dev/sdb1
[01:07] <saeed662> yea
[01:08] <giox> Smokem: Thats what i use to setup mine and is working fine
[01:08] <MasonUS> stefg: ok
[01:09] <edn2> in gutsy, i'm noticing the dcraw process consistently eating up about 40% of the cpu ... i was about to remove it but it appears to now be required by the ubuntu-desktop package - not sure what to do
[01:09] <stefg> MasonUS: the issue is that all entries in there will refer to (hd1,0) and /dev/sdb ... but this is wrong when the USB is your boot drive. it'll be (hd0) and sda in that case
[01:10] <giox> saeed662: go to preference>sessions and add a new command you need to know what is the command to run firestarters

[01:10] <ubotu> edn2: 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
[01:10] <MasonUS> stefg: ok I mounted it like this mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt
[01:11] <edn2> ubotu: thanks - will check there

[01:15] <stefg> MasonUS: it's quicker i just edit it and give you a correct version... there are a lot of subtleties that you can learn later
[01:15] <MasonUS> stefg: ok
[01:15] <MasonUS> stefg: I'm looking at where it says root (hd1,0) kernel initrd etc....
[01:15] <MasonUS> stefg: thats what you're changing right?
[01:15] <stefg> right and the #groot line
[01:16] <DexterF> !kernel
[01:16] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[01:17] <stefg> MasonUS: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37895/
[01:17] <DexterF> guys, I'm a bit at a loss. I compiled a kernel the other day from the gutsy src on feisty. the kernel works fine, but the modules are mind boggling huge. xfs.ko for example has a whopping 10MB, the entire image deb has 204MB.
[01:18] <MasonUS> stefg: ok its updated with your changes
[01:18] <jack_jimmy_jeffr> How well does OpenOffice support exporting to MS Word format? I have a friend that wants to start using Linux, but a primary fear is that she won't be able to send word docs to people for work. I don't use word processors much (emacs works nicely for me) but when I was doing testing tonight with OpenOffice, and tried to save my test doc, I got a message about some formatting chars not being saved properly...
[01:19] <MasonUS> stefg: shall I try my 2 tests again?
[01:19] <jack_jimmy_jeffr> How badly will the formatting be messed up?
[01:19] <stefg> MasonUS: so this is how it should look. I'm not perfectly sure if grub is smart enough to find its config file even if it was installed as sdb1 in the mbr, but i hobe so. if you get a error 17 you'll need a small three line procedure from grubs command line
[01:19] <MasonUS> stefg: ok
[01:19] <MasonUS> stefg: let me get a pen and paper
[01:20] <MasonUS> stefg: afk 30 sec
[01:20] <MasonUS> stefg; back
[01:21] <Flawless> What happened to the "acerhk" kernel module in gutsy? I can't use my multimedia keys any longer
[01:22] <luk3> hi i have installed pptpd on ubuntu server i can access the server from outside with no connection problems however when i try to access a web server on the netwok it wont work even though i can ping the machine. any ideas?
[01:22] <stefg> MasonUS: so its 1.) "find /grub/stage1" ... this will turn up (hd0,0) 2.) root (hd0,0)  3.) setup (hd0) .... the differnce is that grub now really sses the USB drive as hd0 when it got booted from there
[01:23] <MasonUS> stefg: ok
[01:23] <stefg> MasonUS: but you have a 75% chance that it'll just work (tm) now
[01:23] <giox> does anyone knows how to setup a usb to serial adapter on feisty
[01:24] <MasonUS> stefg: I'm a gamblin man, i'll take those odds :)

[01:25] <EvaLuaTe> hello again
[01:26] <EvaLuaTe> so i talked to my ISP and he said that probably my router doesn't support connecting through multiple IP's, so i would have to route them from one of my boxes, any idea how i could do this ? any link or such would be appreciated, as i'm really desperate to get my IP's working :/
[01:27] <EvaLuaTe> he said that the class i bought is routed through my primary IP address, which is in another class
[01:27] <enrique> hola
[01:27] <Smokem> ok...in this tut im at the part of geting needed files, specificly the windows driver (for dell) not on dell...does it matter?
[01:27] <enrique> hola
[01:28] <heterodox> i have an annoying glitch on my laptop, i remade a swap partition & have to mount it through /etc/fstab on each boot. Now the laptop wont hibernate, any ideas?
[01:29] <XsteelWolf> put it in the freezer and it will hibernate itself ^--
[01:29] <heterodox> lol :P
[01:29] <XsteelWolf> check your power savings settings
[01:29] <XsteelWolf> lol
[01:30] <heterodox> i am right in thinking it is the swap partition that hibernates uses?
[01:30] <heterodox> XsteelWolf, i have.. i can suspend (not to disk) shutdown & restart
[01:30] <heterodox> ahhh
[01:30] <heterodox> hold on
[01:31] <EvaLuaTe> XsteelWolf, think you could help me out please ? :/
[01:31] <Smokem> giox: in the tut it sez somthing about geting dell windows driver... not on dell, does it matter?
[01:31] <Myrtti> errrrrr
[01:32] <XsteelWolf> still can't solve it evaluate?
[01:32] <EvaLuaTe> no :(
[01:32] <XsteelWolf> what problem
[01:32] <EvaLuaTe> i'm no linux expert, but can it be this hard ?
[01:32] <EvaLuaTe> well, let me explain the entire problem
[01:32] <heterodox> nope XsteelWolf, they are all enabled under acpi config
[01:33] <EvaLuaTe> i got my connection a few weeks ago, and now i got an added 78.96.37.128/28 class to it, and the ISP said it would be routed through the primary IP address so i should route them either using a router or using one of my PC's
[01:34] <EvaLuaTe> so i can connect to one of the 78.* IP's to the net
[01:34] <jelly> heterodox: what do you mean by "have to mount it through /etc/fstab on each boot"?
[01:34] <heterodox> EvaLuaTe, best bet is a router
[01:34] <kyja> I have an ipod. is it supose to mount as me the owner and root as its group and I cant make a partition for ipodlinux or change its name or anything. HELP
[01:34] <heterodox> EvaLuaTe, then use static NAT
[01:34] <EvaLuaTe> well, i have one, but appareantly it doesn't support multiple IP's
[01:34] <EvaLuaTe> i tried
[01:34] <giox> Smoken: no just ignore that part follow the steps but using the driver for you wireless device
[01:34] <Grejao> how do i put my comum user to mount partitions?
[01:35] <heterodox> jelly, when i remade it, it would not activate until i did a swapon /part/ition or get fstab to bring it up on boot
[01:35] <Grejao> i have a shared directory at net that i mount normally with root, but no with my comum user
[01:35] <jelly> heterodox: is it now in your fstab?
[01:35] <heterodox> yes jelly
[01:35] <Smokem> ok so instead of the .exe it talks about use file.inf?
[01:36] <EvaLuaTe> heterodox: you think this would work for me: http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch03_:_Linux_Networking#Multiple_IP_Addresses_on_a_Single_NIC ?
[01:36] <Smokem> or the driver setup.exe
[01:36] <heterodox> jelly: /dev/sda5       none    swap    sw              0       0
[01:37] <jelly> heterodox: looks ok.  it wouldn't be the last line in fstab?
[01:37] <heterodox> no
[01:37] <heterodox> it's number 2 after /
[01:37] <heterodox> EvaLuaTe, you could try bridging
[01:37] <Smokem> giox: the drivers setup.exe or .inf
[01:38] <[nrx] > EvaLuaTe: i would suggest doing some reading for your router
[01:38] <lorenzo_> hello someone know a good ftp program
[01:38] <MasonUS> stephg: Hi, it worked.  windows boots without the drive attached and with it attached I get grub and all of the correct options
[01:38] <jelly> heterodox: is it being in use now? (grep sda5 /proc/swaps)
[01:38] <EvaLuaTe> [nrx] , there isn't anything decent documentation to be found on the internet
[01:38] <Tex-Twil> hi there
[01:38] <MasonUS> stephg: I Just installed xchat using the package manager, much better
[01:38] <EvaLuaTe> i already tried searching
[01:38] <[nrx] > EvaLuaTe: what router?
[01:38] <heterodox> yes, 33.1M out of 3000M
[01:38] <EvaLuaTe> edimax br-6204wg
[01:38] <heterodox> sorry, jelly ^^
[01:39] <[nrx] > EvaLuaTe: Step 1: Get a decent router
[01:39] <EvaLuaTe> hmm
[01:39] <heterodox> or build one
[01:39] <jelly> heterodox: sorry, im afk... be back in half hour
[01:39] <giox> Smokem: when you get the drivers just rename it with what ever the name you want with this at the end .zip
[01:39] <EvaLuaTe> could you recommend me one that would do what i need ?
[01:39] <MasonUS> stefg*
[01:39] <giox> Smokem: then extract the .zip file
[01:39] <[nrx] > any of the decent ones from DLink
[01:40] <Grejao> how do i put my comum user to mount partitions?
[01:40] <heterodox> EvaLuaTe, drayke, d-link, linksys or cisco
[01:40] <stefg> MasonUS: so you're online on the installed system now? Did it work?
[01:40] <benzs_s> hey, when i try to upgrade (sudo apt-get upgrade) i get the following packages that need to be upgraded but... aren't being upgraded: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37890/
[01:40] <benzs_s> does anyone have any idea what's going on
[01:40] <[nrx] > EvaLuaTe: http://www.isracomp.com/TohenMainF.asp?idd=20
[01:41] <Smokem> ya the drivers come in a setup.exe but i got those out with wine so my q is in this part of the tut what file .inf, .sys, .dll do i use
[01:41] <MasonUS> stefg: yes everything works great.
[01:41] <stefg> MasonUS: great !
[01:41] <kennethr> Can anyone here help me with a dpkg error message?
[01:41] <heterodox> benzs_s, try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[01:41] <MasonUS> stefg: thank you for everything
[01:41] <A2t3c13> can anyone tell me how to mark selections inside the terminal to configure localpurge?need to pick languages in series of ''[ ] ''boxes such as this
[01:41] <MasonUS> stefg: now I Have to start tackling my hardware issues
[01:42] <stefg> MasonUS: so yo've got updates to do... including a kernel update. Hope it don't breaks it (so i've done the editing right)
[01:42] <benzs_s> heterodox: ah yeah, that seems to work... will this have any adverse effects? i.e. was there a reason those upgrades were being held back?
[01:42] <heterodox> benzs_s, depends what the upgrades were
[01:43] <MasonUS> stefg: I'm running the update manager now
[01:43] <EvaLuaTe> [nrx] , you think DLink DI 524 would do the trick ?
[01:43] <kennethr> How does a person get help in here?
[01:43] <heterodox> EvaLuaTe, if that is older than a DI 601, then no
[01:43] <kennethr> I have a dpkg error
[01:43] <kennethr> subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
[01:43] <kennethr> please?
[01:43] <EvaLuaTe> hmm
[01:43] <kennethr> anyone?
[01:43] <heterodox> kennetr just ask your question
[01:43] <MasonUS> stefg: it could take quite a while it looks like
[01:44] <benzs_s> heterodox: i copied the output into pastebin... it's mostly gstreamer stuff. one amsn, ntfs-3g and one or two others i don't know of
[01:44] <kennethr> I'm trying 'sudo apt-get remove clvm'
[01:44] <heterodox> should be fine then benzs_s
[01:44] <MasonUS> stefg: 13 minutes or so
[01:44] <MasonUS> stefg: but that estimate changes everytime I connect to a new source

[01:48] <brophat> i went to the add/remove applications thing and could not find it listed
[01:48] <MasonUS> stefg: will it mount it as well?

[01:49] <jrib> brophat: is the version of ubuntu you are using, the i386 (32bit) or amd64 (64bit) one?
[01:49] <[nrx] > EvaLuaTe: hold on
[01:50] <brophat> i386
[01:50] <EvaLuaTe> [nrx] , could i somehow give you access to the settings of the router, so you could look into it ?
[01:50] <MasonUS> stefg: didn't find it
[01:50] <EvaLuaTe> because i'm not very familiar with networking and such
[01:50] <jrib> brophat: then you need to enable multiverse in system -> administration -> software sources  as the wiki page ubotu linked you to explains
[01:50] <EvaLuaTe> or is the router only accessible from the lan ?
[01:50] <[nrx] > EvaLuaTe: did you read the link i gave you? starting on page 53.. you should read up on it. It's all about NAT.You may want to read up on NAT on the net, too

[01:51] <avt3kk> I tryed and im getting some dependancy error
[01:51] <[nrx] > jrib: ?
[01:51] <EvaLuaTe> ok [nrx] , i'll try to google it, but the settings in the router are not very 'self explaining'
[01:51] <avt3kk> mplayer wont install
[01:51] <[nrx] > EvaLuaTe: they never are, unfortunately :/
[01:51] <avt3kk> dependancy error
[01:51] <avt3kk> x
[01:51] <EvaLuaTe> but thanks for now, i'll read some docs about it
[01:51] <EvaLuaTe> that really helped
[01:52] <EvaLuaTe> :)
[01:52] <MasonUS> stefg: oh ok, i'll try again with the new kernel and I'll http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37897/ the results
[01:52] <avt3kk> Jatt
[01:52] <jrib> brophat: yes, multiverse is a non-free (proprietary) product from adobe so it's in multiverse.  The wiki page gives you step by step instructions
[01:52] <luk3>  hi i have installed pptpd on ubuntu server i can access the server from outside with no connection problems however when i try to access a web server on the netwok it wont work even though i can ping the machine. any ideas?
[01:52] <[nrx] > EvaLuaTe: it's definately possible with that router.. you'll just need to read a bit and mess around :)
[01:52] <jrib> brophat: yes, *flash* is a non-free (proprietary) product from adobe so it's in multiverse.  The wiki page gives you step by step instructions
[01:52] <EvaLuaTe> yeah, i already messed around with pretty much every option
[01:52] <EvaLuaTe> still it won't work
[01:52] <EvaLuaTe> :.
[01:52] <EvaLuaTe> :/
[01:52] <[nrx] > EvaLuaTe: it's definately an issue with NAT then... best to read that link :)
[01:52] <giox> EvaLuaTe: What is the purpose behind using multiple ip on ine nic?
[01:53] <MasonUS> stefg: man I am thrilled that it is working and I understand why
[01:53] <jrib> [nrx] : ?
[01:53] <avt3kk> Jatt?
[01:53] <[nrx] > jrib: would it be an idea to add a google feature to the bot?
[01:53] <MasonUS> stefg: I know that he installation druid did a lot of work behind the scenes.
[01:53] <EvaLuaTe> giox, running services like bouncers or stuff
[01:53] <MasonUS> stefg: but at least I Understand the file structure somewhat now
[01:53] <brophat> jrib multiverse is already selected
[01:53] <jrib> [nrx] : it would be an idea, but I think it would just cause more spam and the first hit in google is not always what you want
[01:54] <[nrx] > jrib: with the search result coming in a pm?
[01:54] <giox> EvaLuaTe: how will you setup more than one IP on your nic card?
[01:54] <jrib> [nrx] : I suppose you could ask Seveas about it
[01:54] <brophat> jrib so multiverse is selected so then where do i get it?
[01:54] <EvaLuaTe> giox, i don't know, that's what i'm trying to figure out right now
[01:54] <jrib> brophat: do you also have the Updates repository enabled?
[01:54] <Seveas> [nrx] , been requested a zillion times, and the answer has always been no and will stay no
[01:55] <[nrx] > Seveas: lol okay :)
[01:55] <[nrx] > giox: virtually all shared hosting providers run multiple IP's off the same nic, it's not hard
[01:55] <brophat> jrib where would I do that?
[01:55] <jrib> brophat: in the "Updates" tab, "(feisty-updates)"

[01:57] <brophat> jrib no such thing as updates repository in the updates tab
[01:57] <jrib> brophat: are you using feisty 7.04?
[01:57] <brophat> yes

[01:58] <brophat> jrib ok that one is already checked
[01:58] <zipper> I've just bought a song, which apparently uses IBX DRM. How do i remove that crap? ie. turn it into mp3 or ogg?[#ubuntu]  I've just bought a song, which apparently uses IBX DRM. How do i remove that crap? ie. turn it into mp3 or ogg?
[01:58] <zipper> ehrm
[01:58] <zipper> sorry
[01:58] <jrib> brophat: ok, then close that window and do "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree" and then restart your browser
[01:58] <jatt> zipper: what's wrong with mldonkey or gtk-gnutella? No need to buy songs...
[01:59] <brophat> ok will do
[01:59] <IdleOne> jatt: please dont promote copyright infringement
[01:59] <zipper> jatt: well, i guess i could use that, but i've been unable to find the song i want.
[02:00] <zipper> jatt: you know of any way to remove IBX drm?
[02:00] <jatt> IdleOne: ?
[02:00] <zipper> jatt: besides, thought recommending people to do piracy was against the channel policy
[02:00] <brophat> jrib ok did it
[02:00] <brophat> now what
[02:00] <jrib> brophat: that's it
[02:01] <brophat> jrib i should have flash on my websites?
[02:01] <jrib> brophat: yes
[02:01] <jrib> (check)
[02:01] <Pici> jatt: zipper: its against #ubuntu and Freenode policy.
[02:01] <jatt> IdleOne: mldonkey and gtk-gnutella are very fine programs. Is their use illegal?
[02:01] <Turazoor> hi all, does anyone know how i can increase my screen resolution whilst using Nvidia RIVA TNT 2 card, at the moment according to System > Screen Resolution; my max screen res is 800*600 however i know this is incorrect
[02:01] <brophat> jrib still no flash
[02:02] <Seveas> brophat, did you close all firefoxes?
[02:02] <hmhowie> Turazoor: have a look at the ffbconfig command and similar
[02:02] <IdleOne> jatt: downloading music without buying it first is illegal and goes against the Ubuntu  CoC the programs themselfs and the use of the program is not illegal
[02:02] <hmhowie> Turazoor: sorry, wrong channel :) have a look in xorg.conf :)
[02:02] <brophat> jrib yes
[02:02] <jrib> brophat: pastebin the output of 'apt-cache policy flashplugin-nonfree'?
[02:02] <jrib> !pastebin > brophat (read the private message from ubotu)
[02:03] <zipper> IdleOne: but now that i have actually bought the song, i should be able to play it. There must be some way to get rid of DRM? I've heard something about "fair2use" ?
[02:03] <Seveas> zipper, you probably clicked on some sort of license agreement before downloading that says you cannot do that
[02:03] <IdleOne> zipper: I dont know about that or how to remove the DRM. sorry :/
[02:04] <brophat> jrib pastebin means to go to the pastebin website?
[02:04] <zipper> Seveas: yeah, probably. But cmon, if they give me crap, i give them crap. I dont care about the law in this case, i bought a song - i should be able to play it
[02:04] <jrib> brophat: yes
[02:04] <brophat> pastebin.net?
[02:04] <Seveas> zipper, illegal activities like that are off-topic here and will get you banned
[02:04] <Seveas> brophat, paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[02:05] <jrib> brophat: ubotu sent you a private message with info about it.  Do you see it?
[02:05] <Devo> Why doesn't feisty fawn come with Pidgin instead of Gaim?
[02:05] <IdleOne> zipper: I hear ya but we cannot help you circumvent the law
[02:05] <zipper> Seveas: depends on your countrys law... they differ quite a bit from country to country. AFAIK, it's not illegal in my country to remove DRM
[02:05] <Seveas> Devo, because pidgin didn't exist when feisty was released
[02:05] <jrib> Devo: Becase pidgin was released after packages in Feisty were frozen
[02:05] <Devo> :o ohhhh.
[02:05] <Seveas> zipper, this is an international channel. We have to be strict :)
[02:05] <zipper> Seveas: why? Internation law doesnt work like that
[02:05] <Turazoor> hmhowie: ok, can i just add 1024*768 etc etc into the lists of avail' display settings?
[02:06] <zipper> international*
[02:06] <bit32> #makassar
[02:06] <brophat> i am using xchat-gnome it does not get private msg bwahahha
[02:06] <IdleOne> zipper: but what we say can unintentioanly put someone else in jail or even us
[02:06] <Turazoor> hmhowie: and also is is possible to enable composite, so that i may use desktop effects?
[02:06] <Seveas> zipper, but our policies do
[02:06] <zipper> Seveas: if it did, thepiratebay would not exist... but yet, here we are.
[02:06] <Seveas> zipper, so i suggest you cut the offtopic talk out and let's return to supporting people
[02:07] <zipper> probably a good idea Seveas, although i disgree that it goes against the policy of this channel
[02:07] <MasonUS> stefg: 108 of 119 packages downloaded
[02:07] <jrib> brophat: you should be able to get them somehow
[02:07] <zipper> IdleOne: as i said, i believe it is legal in my country to remove drm, so no harm should be done by that
[02:08] <Seveas> zipper, last warning. Stop.
[02:08] <nero> can someone help me Im trying to add a new hdd with winxp to a ubuntu machine grub does not work plz

[02:08] <IdleOne> zipper: it is illegal in my country and I will not help you . sorry

[02:11] <sandy> i have problem with gusty
[02:11] <maddash> oh. haha.
[02:11] <hmhowie> kennethr: what's the error? >pastebin
[02:11] <Devo> How do I install Pidgin? :D  apt-get install pidgin did not find any packages.
[02:11] <jrib> sandy: #ubuntu+1 for help with gutsy
[02:11] <maddash> what's wrong with stalin? freedom of speech, dude.
[02:11] <brophat> jrib did you know that it is a long output?
[02:11] <nero> i have put to line in menu.lst to boot the winxp but doesnot work
[02:11] <Seveas> maddash, freedom of speech is a red herring used by people who like to offend others
[02:11] <maddash> Devo: `apt-cache search pidgin`
[02:12] <jrib> brophat: that's ok, pastebin can handle it
[02:12] <Devo> maddash: Thank you. :)
[02:12] <giox> Devo: use kopete it has webcam support pidgin does not
[02:12] <Seveas> Devo, if you are on feisty: pidgin does not exist there
[02:12] <nero> the existing ubuntu drive still works tho
[02:12] <Devo> Seveas: Oh... :'(
[02:12] <brophat> jrib it ended with "Flash Plugin installed"
[02:12] <Seveas> Devo, use gaim
[02:12] <kennethr> When I run 'sudo dpkg -r clvm' I see two errors.  "dpkg: error processing clvm (--remove): subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1" and "dpkg: error while cleaning up: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 3".  The error pops up every time I install/uninstall something.
[02:13] <brophat> do I still need to pastebin it for you/
[02:13] <Devo> Seveas: I am using Gaim but Pidgin looks like it has a lot of cool features.
[02:13] <maddash> wah? gaim->pidgin-> gaim again? cool.
[02:13] <jrib> brophat: ok, then just tell me here what the output of the following command is 'apt-cache policy flashplugin-nonfree
[02:13] <jrib> brophat: ok, then just tell me here what the output of the following command is 'apt-cache policy flashplugin-nonfree | grep Installed'
[02:13] <Seveas> Devo, pidgin is the new name of gaim, not too many differences
[02:14] <kennethr> hmhowie: did you see it?
[02:14] <Devo> Seveas: Is Kopete more developed than Gaim?

[02:30] <Seveas> Knight_On_White, use rm to remove the symlink you created
[02:30] <praet> Knight_On_White: man rm
[02:30] <kennethr> Seveas: that seems to have worked
[02:30] <sandy> 7.10
[02:31] <kennethr> hmhowie: thanks for your help
[02:31] <Seveas> kennethr, good, but remember that is was an ugly workaround :)
[02:31] <giox> sandy: sorry i dont know anything about 7.10 currently running 7.04
[02:31] <hmhowie> kennethr: is it working?
[02:31] <kennethr> hmhowie: appears to have been uninstalled
[02:31] <kennethr> how do I determine what package a file belongs to?  For example, what command would I run to tell me what package installed '/usr/sbin/foo'?
[02:32] <Knight_On_White> Seveas: but if i will rm on the symlink (/media/test) it will delete my files in the orginal folder ? (/home/user/desktop/test) ?
[02:32] <giox> sandy: is a fresh install?
[02:32] <hmhowie> kennethr: good question. dpkg must know it. but how to find it?
[02:33] <Seveas> Knight_On_White, no
[02:33] <Knight_On_White> ok thanks
[02:33] <Knight_On_White> :)
[02:33] <Seveas> Knight_On_White, make sure you do rm test and not rm test/ (will fail) or rm -r test (will delete the files you wnat to stay)

[02:34] <kennethr> Seveas: how do I determine what package a file belongs to?  For example, what command would I run to tell me what package installed '/usr/sbin/foo'?
[02:34] <enyc> Seveas: ok will do, thankyou ;-)
[02:34] <Evanlec> ycmarvin, then dont use firestarter ;)
[02:34] <Seveas> enyc, or better, download the source of dappers version of debootstrap and extract the relevant files
[02:35] <jatt> dpkg -S
[02:35] <Seveas> kennethr, dpkg -S /usr/bin/firefox
[02:35] <enyc> Seveas: I understand
[02:35] <kennethr> Seveas: ty
[02:35] <ezr> zerezrzer
 no i recently upgrade the system and it got off in between and the problem
[02:35] <ezr> regrg
[02:35] <enyc> Seveas: tbh i dont need to do this oftnen  or again in future...
[02:35] <ezr> rgrge
[02:35] <ezr> fgdfg
[02:35] <Seveas> Hobbsee, !
[02:36] <ycmarvin> is there a good alternative to firestarter?
[02:37] <maddash> a fire hydrant?
[02:37] <Seveas> ycmarvin, an iptables book :)
[02:37] <Hobbsee> Seveas!
[02:38] <giox> sandy: i really dont want to say this but you might have to reinstall everything unless somebody know how to get your system back the way it was cuz i sure dont know how
[02:39] <giox> sandy: not that good yet
[02:39] <maddash> forum2006: yes.
[02:39] <box> disconnect
[02:39] <sandy> ok
[02:40] <forum2006> maddash, got it :)
[02:41] <Smokem> giox: got 1.47 working, but still cant get usb device to work
[02:41] <forum2006> for 128bit: echo -n 'xdhdkkewioddd' | hexdump -e '13/1 "%02x" "\n"' | cut -d ':' -f 1-13
[02:41] <forum2006> for 64bit: echo -n 'awerf' | hexdump -e '5/1 "%02x" "\n"' | cut -d ':' -f 1-5
[02:41] <maddash> forum2006: you'd need to fidget with hexdump's format string, and also input one letter at a time, because hexdump screws a bit with the endianness
[02:41] <maddash> forum2006: impressive.
[02:42] <drgeb> somehow each time I reboot my machine my additonal harddrives are mapped to different device names. How can I fix this ?? Is this a bios issu or Ubuntu ?
[02:43] <enyc> drgeb: which Ubuntu version?
[02:43] <maddash> forum2006: are you using iwconfig, by any chance?
[02:43] <Seveas> drgeb, that's normal behaviour and the exact reason why ubuntu doesn't use device names but UUID's in /etc/fstab
[02:43] <enyc> drgeb: from Edgy6.10 onwards, they mounted in fstab by UUID so that any change in hd?/sd? device does not matter.
[02:43] <erUSUL> ycmarvin: shorewall (not gui) and my favorite was firehol but it is broken since edgy and noone seems to care enough to fix it
[02:44] <avt3kk> anyone know about how to connect to yahoo chat now? you have to verify letters and numbers using http
[02:44] <drgeb> Seveas oh hmm maybe thats the issue I am not using the right entries in fstab
[02:44] <dynacrylic> what is the next version of the ubuntu server edition coming out? is it supposed to be 8.04?
[02:45] <fivetwentysix> How do I find out which kernal version i'm using?
[02:45] <erUSUL> dynacrylic: there is a server edition of every ubuntu release
[02:45] <Seveas> drgeb, to get the UUID's for your drives, use sudo /lib/udev/vol_id /dev/yourdrivename
[02:45] <erUSUL> dynacrylic: maybe you are aking about LTS releases
[02:45] <Seveas> fivetwentysix, uname -r
[02:45] <avt3kk> can someone help me get on yahoo chat please?
[02:45] <dynacrylic> erusul, yeah the lts
[02:45] <ycmarvin> erUSUL, ok thanks I'll try shorewall. I have no idea what iptables are
[02:45] <erUSUL> !lts
[02:45] <ubotu> LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server.
[02:46] <erUSUL> ycmarvin: shorewall is managed by a set of configuration files
[02:46] <avt3kk> I thought a new version of messy came out last week friday for dapper
[02:46] <avt3kk> or was it gaim
[02:46] <drgeb> Seveas, enyc seems like ntfs-3g does not add entries using UUID I have for example "/dev/sdf1 /media/Video ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0" inside fstab How do I find out my UUID for all my devices ?
[02:46] <dynacrylic> ubotu, thanks
[02:46] <ubotu> You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[02:47] <fivetwentysix> Does ubuntu 64bit support 4gb of ram?
[02:47] <erUSUL> drgeb: ls -al /dev/disk/by-uuid/
[02:47] <ycmarvin> erUSUL, ok thanks! I'll go to its website and dig it up
[02:47] <erUSUL> fivetwentysix: yes
[02:47] <Seveas> drgeb, I just gave the command ;)
[02:47] <Seveas> drgeb, to get the UUID's for your drives, use sudo /lib/udev/vol_id /dev/yourdrivename
[02:50] <ycmarvin> is there a open source software that would match vmware
[02:50] <Seveas> ycmarvin, virtualbox
[02:51] <ycmarvin> Seveas, is it run through ubuntu?
[02:52] <Seveas> ycmarvin, it's included in ubuntu if that's what you mean

[02:59] <erUSUL> Tobia1: thunderbird in windows can import dbx afaik then you just copy de mbox files to ubuntu...
[02:59] <erUSUL> Tobia1: maybe something like http://www.box.net/ can help you
[03:00] <Tobia1> erUSUL, well I tried importing directly to no avail, you need to have outlook installed...

[03:07] <praet> MeRodent: the error itself means that grub cant find its config files
[03:10] <MeRodent> praet, I'm assuming grub cracked the shits when I used windows to format a partition. I think the problem is simply that grub has partitions mixed up and that's the reason it can't find the config files. Is there any way to let grub know where the configs are?

[03:15] <jhaig> By "work well" I mean can sync to Linux.  I'm not looking to install Ubuntu on it.
[03:15] <MeRodent> is there any way to rename partitions, set grub to look for config files in a different partition or reinstall grub so it finds the appropriate partitions again?

[03:43] <fudlacker> any1? is it possible to change the screensaver-resolution?
[03:43] <Seveas> zipper, #ubuntu-ops, but no luck if you're banned for doing illegal things and ban evading
[03:43] <fudlacker> in ubuntu feisty/gnome
[03:44] <zipper> Seveas, i'm afraid to even comment that, because you might just end up banning me. I'd like to see 1 example of me doing anything illegal, just 1.
[03:44] <netham45> zipper: please take it to #ubuntu-ops
[03:44] <Seveas> zipper, #ubuntu-ops please. This is offtopic here
[03:44] <Veinor> Why does System Manager keep launching spontaneously?
[03:45] <zipper> Seveas, i know, and you removed me from the off-topic channel....
[03:45] <Seveas> zipper, and I'll remove you here if you don't stop being offtopic
[03:45] <Johto> fudlacker: why would you like to change the resolution?
[03:45] <swanfl> I'm trying to put kubuntu on a very old box. I need to disable automatic ide driver detection (and stick with the generic IDE driver) because this automatic detection causes a kernel panic, presumably because so many modules get loaded during this time that don't belong and my hardware gets confused
[03:45] <swanfl> that is to say, this happens during the debian-installer
[03:45] <Hideme> I typed "compiz --replace" and now when i start desktop effects my windows have no boarder/close/minimize/max tabs...  any idea how to revert this?

[04:00] <cocox> i have an issue related to my soundcard, i've two soundcards one is an Audigy and the other is VIA, the thing is that ubuntu is just using the VIA integrated card instead Audigy, how can i do to change this??
[04:01] <swanfl> disable the integrated one in the bios maybe?
[04:01] <boyam> cocox: you will probably have to disable the integrated VIA in the BIOS in order to use Audigy card
[04:02] <cocox> boyam: swanfl: but there is nothing i should do in ubuntu, why in windows works fine even without enabling or disabling something??
[04:02] <Leon_home> does ubuntu have perl installed by default ? (or should i download ?)
[04:02] <Veinor> Leon_home: perl is installed
[04:02] <swanfl> Linux is not Windows
[04:02] <Veinor> but you need to install perl-doc in order to get 'perldoc'
[04:02] <boyam> cocox: don't know...you're dealing with a new OS....try doing as swanfl and I said and see what happens
[04:03] <cocox> boyam: swanfl: otherwise i did not have this issue with previos distros of ubuntu...
[04:03] <Hideme_> I typed "compiz --replace" and now when i start desktop effects my windows have no boarder/close/minimize/max tabs...  any idea how to revert this?
[04:03] <swanfl> reconfigure alsa to use the audigy card
[04:03] <dwxreaper> !vnc
[04:03] <ubotu> 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

[04:06] <ivanbili>  hi guys, i have a problem with my proc partition and i had to boot from my live CD... how do I mount my dev/sda3 device so that I can access its files?

[04:06] <Hideme_> Veinor:  'emerald' is currently not installed...  just need a way to get my windows back to normal effect.

[04:10] <untwisted> howdy, anyone know what graphical packages come with python in Ubuntu 7.04 AND in Kubuntu 7.04?  I am writing an app that I need to work on both platforms, and for some reason Ubuntu canned python with tk installed by default.
[04:11] <khamael> untwisted: I thought ubuntu and kubuntu had the same base
[04:12] <z9999> Never mind, I found that by deactivating and activating, it started to work again. Sorry.
[04:12] <untwisted> khamael, they do which is why I'm asking if anyone knows a python graphics package
[04:12] <untwisted> Tkinter is generally the default, but for some reason its no longer included as of 7.04
[04:13] <jrib> untwisted: so you don't want them to have to install anything from the repositories?  why?
[04:13] <khamael> untwisted: tried enabling multiverse, universe? or installing manually?
[04:14] <Tobia1> ubuntu doesnt support rar files?
[04:14] <jrib> !rar > Tobia1 (read the private message from ubotu)
[04:15] <Pici> untwisted: python-tk is in the main repos in 7.04

[04:28] <poningru_> !sound | cocox
[04:28] <ubotu> cocox: 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
[04:29] <sting3r> can someone help with an eggdrop issue
[04:30] <cocox> ubotu: yeah alsa is selected, im gonna check the links gaven

[04:31] <genii> sting3r: Perhaps try #eggdrop
[04:31] <Pici> !nickspam | blablabla1111
[04:31] <ubotu> blablabla1111: You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu - it causes unrequired scrolling which is unfair on new users. The same goes for using noisy away messages : use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently - See also !Guidelines
[04:31] <SuperLag> Is there an easy way to figure out what packages are installed on machine 1, and get all the same packages on machine 2?

[04:43] <d4rkkn16ht> the error message appears only once at the very beginning of every boot
[04:43] <Johto> d4rkkn16ht: i mean, there are "lot" of "errors" during boot ..at least during the kernel phase...nothing weird about that
[04:44] <Johto> d4rkkn16ht: it doesnt automaticly mean you have something wrong
[04:44] <d4rkkn16ht> it said something about PCI failed to load on the memory
[04:44] <d4rkkn16ht> I install it on my laptop
[04:45] <Johto> d4rkkn16ht: try dmesg | grep PCI | more

[04:45] <Johto> d4rkkn16ht: anyhow, dont loose sleep over it :D
[04:45] <kyja> nevermind I found it. for those that have a lock file and cant mount usb devises it is a hidden file inside /media directory itself.

[04:55] <EvaLuaTe> the program insn't installed on my machine, i read that i would have to configure a *.conf file in there, but the folder doesn't exist
[04:55] <EvaLuaTe> so i'm thinking that i have to install something, i just don't know what :/
[04:55] <bullgard4> Why does ubuntu create so many tty (pseudo) files /dev/tty0 through /dev/ttyzf? (Almost 70 files)
[04:55] <erUSUL> EvaLuaTe: what are you trying to do?
[04:55] <EvaLuaTe> get my internet connection up and running
[04:56] <LjL> marlun: echo ${STRINGNAME:(-1)}
[04:56] <EvaLuaTe> i figured out the options i have to set, as it works fine in windows, i just can't get it to work on linux
[04:56] <LjL> marlun: http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/string-manipulation.html
[04:56] <erUSUL> EvaLuaTe: what type of connection?
[04:57] <EvaLuaTe> optic fibre
[04:57] <Shaba1> Helllo all
[04:57] <EvaLuaTe> multiple IP's
[04:57] <EvaLuaTe> should i tell you the modem model ?
[04:57] <Shaba1> Hey I know this is not unbuntu specifice

[04:57] <bk__> hello, does anyone in here have a problem using ubuntu and rtorrent 0.7.7+?
[04:57] <Fastly> i am having a little trouble with desktop effects in gutsy. they used to work, but since installing recommended updates the title bar does not appear on each window. any ideas?
[04:57] <Fastly> i can see the title bar when i turn desktop effects off
[04:57] <Shaba1> but does can anyone asnwer a question about gain and xchat that comes with the ubuntu distro?
[04:58] <LjL> Fastly: possibly a couple of missing lines in xorg.conf
[04:58] <dwxreaper> how do I make the default vnc server run at start, vino
[04:58] <erUSUL> EvaLuaTe: i do not think i will be of any help with such high end hardware...

[04:58] <EvaLuaTe> ok :)
[04:58] <Drazgo> hi everyone, got a question concerning the menubar applet of ubuntu. I am making my ubuntu look like leopard, but the menubar applet won't become transparent when i set the panel so.
[04:59] <Drazgo> So how can i change it to become transparent?
[04:59] <erUSUL> Tobia1: you can install firefox in windows let it import ie favorites and then use the firefox export bookmarks utility. copy de file over an import it in the ubuntu firefox
[04:59] <Fastly> intel
[04:59] <Fastly> this is a thinkpad
[05:00] <Fastly> i was surprised that the desktop effects worked at all
[05:00] <Tobia1> erUSUL, lol ok

[05:00] <LjL> Fastly: uhm then i don't know. but try asking in #ubuntu-effects, they probably know more about this stuff

[05:03] <macsim> bulmer: 4 windows comuter, 8 linux and 5 macosX
[05:03] <bulmer> macsim: they are on separate partitions so you can all tar a partition for backup
[05:03] <HotdogWater> minarth: http://packages.ubuntu.com search there. if you can't find it, you'll have to compile it from the source
[05:04] <macsim> bulmer: sure but I want an easy way for restoration and an automatic restoration
[05:04] <HotdogWater> minarth: wait i found this
[05:04] <macsim> bulmer: sorry automatic backup

[05:05] <neztiti> erUSUL: some programs not work 4 me after uninstall i conv
[05:05] <bulmer> macsim look into Amanda its a fedora based backup and restore app..there maybe an equivalent in ubuntu
[05:05] <neztiti> erUSUL: u r right
[05:05] <Minarth> HotdogWater: thx
[05:05] <dotjay> my synaptic package manager shows some error and doesnt show any software
[05:05] <macsim> bulmer: ok amanda does it support macosX FS ?
[05:06] <bulmer> macsim i dont know, you have to google for Amanda and find out..
[05:06] <macsim> bulmer: ok I googlize ;)
[05:06] <bulmer> macsim most likely behind it is the standard tar or cpio or pax
[05:06] <dotjay> anybody is this really any helpline?

[05:12] <Dr_Willis> for my needs - vmware worked better. :) (testing of live cd's) then virtualbox.

[05:12] <genii> EvaLuaTe: Ideally it has a driver which becomes some ethX device then it gets used normally as a NIC
[05:12] <ootm> hi, i have a problem where ubuntu repeatedly hangs installing on a quad core system, SATA hdd's - amd64 version just after the screen asking if i want to install LAMP/DNS.. hangs at 84% - anyone got any ideas what it could be?
[05:12] <bulmer> EvaLuaTe: you have a fibre optic interface?
[05:12] <ootm> Its feisty 7.04
[05:12] <stefg> ziga_: please don do that again. Rather check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf if the v4l module gets loaded
[05:12] <mcgru> who can help me in /preseed/kubuntu.seed configuration ?
[05:12] <SuperLag> If you've got a series of packages being installed, and one of them errors out on the configuring stage, how do you get it to resume configuring the rest of the packages, after you've fixed the problem one?
[05:13] <dotjay> Pici:http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37910/
[05:13] <EvaLuaTe> well, phisically i connect through a ethernet cable to the modem
[05:13] <stefg> !customcd
[05:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about customcd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[05:13] <erUSUL> dotjay: just amend the problematic line (33) either remove it or fix the sintax (if there is a problem with syntax)

[05:14] <ubotu> Creating custom Live CDs is explained on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
[05:14] <genii> SuperLag: usually it will tell you to: sudo dpkg --configure -a               or so
[05:14] <bulmer> EvaLuaTe: then you only need ethernet not fibre
[05:14] <dotjay> erUSUL: well actually how can i do that?
[05:14] <dotjay> iam ver much new to linux
[05:15] <slackern> dotjay: you need to edit the file as superuser with something like sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list or you will not have permission to change it
[05:15] <EvaLuaTe> bulmer, but i have set everything in the /etc/network/interfaces file just like in windows, and windows connects, but linux doesn't
[05:16] <erUSUL> dotjay: the same way you added it... editing /etc/apt/sources.list or through system>Admin>Software sources. From synaptic you can also do it
[05:16] <erUSUL> dotjay: or maybe you used automatix?
[05:16] <bulmer> EvaLuaTe: paste your windows configs and ubuntu configs for this nic on pastebin
[05:16] <ibt> what's the proper way to manage the java classpath in ubuntu?
[05:16] <stefg> EvaLuaTe: what kind of connection is that? ADSL?
[05:16] <EvaLuaTe> i think so, i'm not sure
[05:17] <stefg> EvaLuaTe: so does it come from the cable provider or from the telco ?
[05:17] <ziga_> stefg, I copy and paste the v4l-conf report, did you see it
[05:17] <EvaLuaTe> bulmer, wait :)
[05:17] <erUSUL> EvaLuaTe: maybe pppoe or pppoatm...
[05:17] <EvaLuaTe> stefg, what's telco ?
[05:17] <stefg> EvaLuaTe: telephone company
[05:17] <bulmer> ibt: you can set your CLASSPATH  in  your .profile or .bashrc_profile or any of the profile related configs..but key is the CLASSPATH

[05:17] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[05:17] <EvaLuaTe> ohh, no, it comes from a sepparate ISP, that only deals with optic fibre connections
[05:18] <bulmer> EvaLuaTe: are they handing you a fibre optic connectivity ?
[05:18] <dotjay> slackern:http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37913/
[05:18] <stefg> EvaLuaTe: i see.... but you don't know the technical specs? Might be ATM
[05:18] <EvaLuaTe> bulmer, yes
[05:18] <EvaLuaTe> stefg, no, sorry, i don't know any specs
[05:19] <dotjay> slackern: what am i supposed to do next?
[05:19] <bulmer> Evaluate what equipment do you have then to hook up to this fibre optic interface?
[05:19] <ziga_> Can anybody help me with this Ubuntu Paste.. I Copy-paste text and click Paste, but how would I know that it works?
[05:20] <genii> ziga_: You mean the pastebin website?
[05:20] <stefg> EvaLuaTe: so how does windows connect then? Through pseudo Dialup or by Network Connections ?
[05:20] <bulmer> EvaLuaTe: do not forget, these are all serial interfaces..so you need some kind of device to convert from serial to ethernet..lest you have a native fibre nic interface and those should come with its own drivers
[05:20] <slackern> dotjay: just to make sure you wanted to remove that line causing the error "http://developer.songbirdnest.com/nightly/builds/linux/x86_64" ?
[05:20] <ziga_> yes
[05:20] <EvaLuaTe> stefg, network connections
[05:20] <ziga_> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37914/
[05:21] <ziga_> here is my v4l-conf if it would help
[05:21] <stefg> EvaLuaTe: and you had a driver disk from your ISP which you needed to install ?
[05:21] <bulmer> EvaLuaTe: are the network guy for your company?
[05:21] <EvaLuaTe> no, i can connect fine with a ethernet cable from the windows box
[05:21] <dotjay> slacker: yes
[05:21] <dotjay> how do i do that?
[05:21] <bulmer> EvaLuaTe: then no worries, you are ethernet, not fibre optic interface connected..
[05:22] <EvaLuaTe> no, i didn't install anything on my windows machine, just set the IP, subnet mask and gateway and DNS, and *poof*, it worked
[05:22] <slackern> dotjay: to make it a little easier for you to edit the file in case you are not familiar with using nano as a text editor you could try running "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" (without "") that will give you a easier editor, then you can locate the row containing the error and remove it
[05:22] <genii> ziga_: Well it looks like you figured out how the pastebin works :) As for the v4l issue there, someone else may know
[05:22] <bulmer> EvaLuaTe: you can do same with ubuntu, you just have to learn a lil bit of which file or config commands to use
[05:23] <bulmer> and poof it will work
[05:23] <erUSUL> EvaLuaTe: then do the same in ubuntu just go to System>Adminstration>Network and fill the ip mask etc
[05:23] <genii> EvaLuaTe: If all you had to set before was network settings, same applies to *buntu settings
[05:23] <stefg> ziga_: what kind of video card do you have ?
[05:23] <EvaLuaTe> erUSUL, i have the server edition, no graphical interface :/
[05:23] <EvaLuaTe> and i have set the network options in /etc/network/interfaces, but still it won't work
[05:23] <erUSUL> EvaLuaTe: then you will have to edit /etc/network/interfaces and add a stanza for your eth card
[05:24] <ziga_> stefg, ati 9600 pro
[05:24] <gabrielmonnerat> i have a problem with fone in skype, someone can help me?
[05:24] <bulmer> EvaLuaTe: did you paste what the configs I requested you earlier yet? to  pastebin  please
[05:24] <stefg> ziga_: then it's likely that the 'xv' doesn't work
[05:24] <ibt> bulmer: seems like /etc/environment would be better. but, is it a good idea. i'm surprised to not see any recommendations on the wiki
[05:24] <ziga_> This video driver is merged
[05:24] <genii> EvaLuaTe: You can manually set, in the file /etc/network/interfaces     then do a ifdown ethX ; ifup ethX where that is the eth adapter

[05:37] <EvaLuaTe> and for eth0:2 i still get 'Network is unreachable'
[05:37] <erUSUL> EvaLuaTe: with the corrections i made?
[05:37] <EvaLuaTe> erUSUL, yes
[05:37] <bulmer> erUSUL: your corrections didnt show up...or it seems i didnt noticed it
[05:37] <fgerlits> hi, I just installed Feisty, and everything seemed OK, but when I log in, the Gnome desktop does not start, I just get an empty screen with the Ubuntu background color
[05:37] <erUSUL> EvaLuaTe: sorry i failed to correct the line auto eth0:0 --> auto eth0
[05:37] <EvaLuaTe> bulmer, i get a 'declared twice' error
[05:38] <erUSUL> EvaLuaTe: it will be http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37918/
[05:38] <fgerlits> I can manually start metacity, nautilus and gnome-panel, and then everything works fine; but this is not a good solution
[05:38] <GreyGhost> tatters ,can't help you much (never used kde..) but you might want to look around in the options ..
[05:38] <vsayikiran> which is the best packet capture package
[05:39] <EvaLuaTe> nope, same error erUSUL and bulmer
[05:39] <Luke> Every time I boot my computer, I get to GDM and a popup infinitely loops saying "Authentication Failed", blocking me from typing my username and password to login. Anyone know how to fix this?
[05:39] <bulmer> EvaLuaTe: do it the hard way.. ip addr add 78.96.37.128/240 dev eth0 brd+  and repeat  exact same but change it to .129/240
[05:39] <erUSUL> EvaLuaTe: network unreacheable in eth0:2 ?
[05:39] <GreyGhost> tatters ,i believe it must exist cos their 1.3.2 changelog mentions it
[05:40] <EvaLuaTe> network unreachable in eth0 and Cannot assign requested address in eth0:1
[05:40] <paddle> anyone got a virus yet?

[05:41] <EvaLuaTe> bulmer, Error: an inet prefix is expected rather than "78.96.37.128/240"
[05:41] <Pici> vsayikiran: I prefer wireshark, but then again I dont really know what I'm doing.
[05:41] <GreyGhost> tatters , np
[05:41] <SuperLag> vsayikiran: It's probably a matter of opinion... but I would say Wireshark
[05:41] <vsayikiran> is there nyone who is using tethereal
[05:42] <tatters> wireshark is good for capturing packets
[05:42] <bulmer> EvaLuaTe: okay, do this first  ip a  and pastebin the result
[05:42] <inf1ni> anyone know how to install nubuntu from a startx command or shell?
[05:42] <vsayikiran> wot about tehtereal
[05:42] <EvaLuaTe> OCUH
[05:42] <EvaLuaTe> OUCH*
[05:42] <EvaLuaTe> there's pretty much to copy by hand :/
[05:42] <vsayikiran> which packet capture package has got user friendly GUI
[05:42] <bulmer> EvaLuaTe: you wanting help? :)
[05:42] <erUSUL> EvaLuaTe: last try for me http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37920/
[05:43] <SuperLag> vsayikiran: Ethereal is the same thing... it was renamed to Wireshark
[05:43] <tatters> wireshark has a user friendly gui
[05:43] <EvaLuaTe> yeah, yeah, i'm on it sir =)
[05:43] <arun> Can I use my Sony connect MP3 player with Ubuntu?
[05:43] <Shaba1> ok my third question
[05:44] <EvaLuaTe> erUSUL, same error
[05:44] <bulmer> arun: why not?
[05:44] <Shaba1> is there and easy screen snapshot program for linux
[05:44] <Shaba1> ?
[05:44] <bulmer> Shaba1: i think its called import
[05:44] <erUSUL> EvaLuaTe: :( i give up
[05:45] <Scunizi> Anyone else on Dapper get the updates this morning?  Did it break CUPS?  It did on my machine.
[05:45] <Shaba1> I use irfanview on window. that lets you set up and hotkey and the directory where the jpg goes to
[05:45] <inf1ni> can anyone tell me the shell command to start the ubuntu text installer?
[05:45] <Luke> Every time I boot my computer, I get to GDM and a popup infinitely loops saying "Authentication Failed", blocking me from typing my username and password to login. Anyone know how to fix this?
[05:45] <bulmer> Shaba1: man import
[05:45] <EvaLuaTe> ok, thanks erUSUL :)
[05:45] <jhaig> inf1ni: You mean the text based package manager?  Try 'aptitude'
[05:45] <dwxreaper> anyone connect to unix on a windows client
[05:45] <EvaLuaTe> bulmer, paste will be ready in a min :)
[05:45] <bulmer> EvaLuaTe: okay
[05:46] <rick_> hi, i am using the alternate installer and i am thinking of installing beryl
[05:46] <dwxreaper> using x windows, and have a good tutorial or an easy to use x program
[05:46] <Lea1> Hi ubuntufolx!
[05:46] <rick_> but, when i do the apt-get install beryl and beryl-manager there isnt a package...
[05:46] <Shaba1> bulmer is it included with xubuntu or something I have to apt-get install?t-get
[05:46] <rick_> which other mirror do i point it to or any other solution
[05:46] <bulmer> Shaba1: i dont know, its a multimedia app but try man import and see you get any responses
[05:47] <inf1ni> jhaig: well nubuntu is not installed yet, it's giving us a hard time in vpc2004, only way I can get xwindows to run is startx -depth 16 -dpi 100
[05:47] <inf1ni> jhaig: safe graphics, 16bit, all of that still messes up
[05:48] <Shaba1> ok blumer right now the kde install had control of my terminal window
[05:48] <Shaba1> so I cannot do anything else utnil this finishes
[05:48] <Gosha> Is it safe using metacitys keybindings?
[05:48] <GreyGhost> Luke , see if the other consoles are any better ... Ctrl + Alt + F1/F2 etc ..
[05:48] <bulmer> then wait..only a few minutes more
[05:48] <Shaba1> but doe it have it hotkey and deoe it capture windows or the whole screen
[05:48] <inf1ni> jhaig: I mean I can get into xwindows, but there is no icon for install seeing as how I didn't run the intsall option
[05:49] <bulmer> Shaba1: i dont know, its a multimedia app but try man import and see you get any responses
[05:49] <^ZORO^> azal
[05:49] <marf> quick question. I have an openfiler distro on a box on my network. It has a share with NFS and Samba enabled on it. I can connect to the share from winXP (using samba), I am on my ubuntu box and I want to access the NFS share, how can I Achieve this (Please note I'm using LDAP authentication to access the share, and I see no documentation mentioning NFS  share mounting with a username and...
[05:49] <marf> ...password).
[05:50] <EvaLuaTe> bulmer, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37921/ :)
[05:50] <leaf_> How would I detect if a USB bluetooth dongle was either recognized or available?  I plugged it in, the light blinks, but I am at a loss to find it.  I checked with my BT phone but it could not find it.  I'm using Feisty, just installed today.  thanks for listening
[05:50] <inf1ni> jhaig: I mean if I knew how to start up the binary for the graphical installation I could very likely run that as well, if anyone know where that binary resides, that would be very helpful
[05:50] <vsayikiran> has anyone used tethereal
[05:50] <tatters> I been messing with a vmware appliance (ultimate boot appliance) which allows me to connect my laptop via ethernet to any PC that has pxe capabilty and then installs chosen distro from menu windows ubuntu etc..... the appliance mounts the cd and then installs onto guest PC, I been trying this with ubuntu but it gets stuck on the option to choose mirror it gets stucks because the PC is not connected to the internet,it is trying to wget a ditribution fil
[05:50] <tatters>  supply to the installation cmd which would bypass this option untill install complete?
[05:51] <arun> How do I load songs from my Ubuntu to my Sony connect mp3 player
[05:51] <vsayikiran> i want to use tethereal, has anyone used it
[05:51] <bulmer> EvaLuaTe: that looks okay..did you typed in .129/240 or missed it?
[05:52] <GreyGhost> arun ,comes with USB ?
[05:52] <shodges> marf, Samba is a better protocol for file sharing. use the Places->Network Servers and you should see your machine there
[05:52] <EvaLuaTe> no bulmer, i uncommented eth0:1 to not get that many errors
[05:52] <arun> GreyGhost: Yup, USB
[05:52] <heydabop> Is it possible for Window to be able to browse my Ubnutu partition, and vice versa?
[05:52] <arun> heydabop: yes
[05:52] <leaf_> heydabop, sure.
[05:52] <heydabop> How?
[05:52] <magnetron> heydabop: ubuntu already knows how to do it
[05:52] <leaf_> heydabop, what filesystem is your windows drive, and what version of ubuntu are you using?
[05:53] <GreyGhost> arun ,simply connect and transfer i'd say (though i've never used a mp3 player before :( ) unless Sony is providing you some nice app ..
[05:53] <heydabop> Leaf, Windows is NTFS, Ubnutu 7.04
[05:53] <FEde26> i've got a problem i can't connect emule to the server? can someone help me? tnxc
[05:53] <bulmer> EvaLuaTe: if you cropped the result..i dont have the correct info to work on..paste the whole thing
[05:53] <leaf_> heydabop, well, I was able to find my windir in the places folder
[05:53] <heydabop> I can see it, but I can't go through it.
[05:54] <leaf_> heydabop, you might try going to 'computer' and looking at all the partitions there
[05:54] <vsayikiran> has anybody used tethereal
[05:54] <heydabop> Like, I can't view or edit files in it.
[05:54] <jaime> Hello everybody. My ubuntu has just crashed and sort of eaten the / partition. A few folders that were in use within /home/me have vanished. fsck finds no prob. Kernel crashes upon boot. Q: Can I boot off CD, chroot into the wreckage and check package consistency using apt or something?
[05:54] <EvaLuaTe> bulmer, i didn't crop anything, just like i said, i commented the eth0:1 out in the /etc/network/interfaces to not het that many errors
[05:54] <GreyGhost> heydabop , you can't view either ?
[05:54] <EvaLuaTe> but are you saying it should work now ?
[05:54] <leaf_> heydabop, oh.  right click on the partition and edit permissions
[05:54] <bulmer> EvaLuaTe: oh okay..i thought you meant commenting the result out for eth0:1
[05:54] <heydabop> Ok.
[05:54] <wasabi> What environmental variables does it take to run a gnome app in a different language? LC_ALL LANGUAGE and LANG I thought.
[05:54] <arun> GreyGhost: it came with a Windows-only app for loading songs, it gets mounted and shows up in /media, after which i dont know how to transfer songs
[05:54] <wasabi> But it's not working. Says it's not supported by C library.
[05:54] <magnetron> vsayikiran: do you mean Wireshark, network protocol analyzer?
[05:55] <vsayikiran> i want to use tethereal, does anyone know how to use it
[05:55] <wasabi> locales is recofnigured, and says it supports teh local I'm trying
[05:55] <vsayikiran> yes
[05:55] <leaf_> arun, can you just drag 'n drop to it?
[05:55] <tatters> tehereal does not exist anymore it called wireshark
[05:55] <heydabop> leaf, how do I open the file browser as sudo?
[05:55] <magnetron> vsayikiran: i changed it
[05:55] <vsayikiran> but i want to know which package is user friendly
[05:55] <piranesi> how can I stop the kernel from loading agpgart, intel_agp, drm, radeon, e7xxx_edac and edac_mc modules?
[05:55] <wasabi> oh there it goes!
[05:55] <magnetron> vsayikiran: it changed it's name to wireshark
[05:55] <bulmer> EvaLuaTe: what you have posted looks okay then, ie eth0 has a primary address of .128 and .130 is secondary
[05:55] <Dr_Willis> !blacklist
[05:55] <ubotu> To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add  blacklist <modulename>  to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type  sudo update-initramfs -u 
[05:55] <tatters> sudo apt-get install wireshark
[05:55] <stefg> !blacklist
[05:55] <EvaLuaTe> hmm
[05:55] <Dr_Willis> piranesi blacklist the modules. :)
[05:55] <vsayikiran> magnetron; is wireshark easy to use
[05:55] <erUSUL> piranesi: add them to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[05:56] <heydabop> leaf, I can't mount the Windows partition.
[05:56] <stefg> !mountwindows
[05:56] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - See also !fuse
[05:56] <bulmer> EvaLuaTe: try pinging 78.96.37.130
[05:56] <GreyGhost> arun ,i don't really know much about this .. but you could possibly copy paste your music onto the player... and then eject the drive
[05:56] <vsayikiran> magnetron: is wireshark easy to use
[05:56] <piranesi> Dr_Willis, blacklisted them but they still get loaded
[05:56] <magnetron> vsayikiran: "easy to use" compared to what?
[05:56] <heydabop> thanks stefg
[05:56] <EvaLuaTe> hmm, let's see if it works :)
[05:57] <leaf_> heydabop, this might be easier in CLI.  rightclick the drive and find out where in the filesys it is first, then you can use the mount command in terminal to ... oh that was easy, wtg steg
[05:57] <magnetron> vsayikiran: it's a rather unique application, not much else to compare it with
[05:57] <dwxreaper> if I run xming (a windows x client), and don't forward it through ssh, then on my ssh connect type gedit
[05:57] <stefg> piranesi: they might get loaded as dependencies. lsmod will show if other modules draw them in
[05:57] <magnetron> yar
[05:57] <vsayikiran> magnetron: i mean , is wireshark GUI based or command based like nmap
[05:57] <soothsayer> vsayikiran: What do you need to do?
[05:57] <dwxreaper> that should pull up gedit on my windows PC, but not forward the traffic through the tunnel??
[05:57] <webpower> ehi
[05:57] <webpower> tornato
[05:57] <vsayikiran> i have used ethereal in windows
[05:58] <magnetron> vsayikiran: wireshark is completely graphical, it's the same as ethereal
[05:58] <tatters> vsayikiran wireshark and nmap both have frontend gui
[05:58] <vsayikiran> soothsayer: i want to use wireshark to capture packets
[05:58] <Pici> vsayikiran: wireshark is the same project as ethereal, just a different name
[05:58] <dwxreaper> can someone help me with xwindows
[05:58] <dwxreaper> vs: sudo apt-get install wireshark
[05:58] <Dr_Willis> dwxreaper you can set up xdmcp,  I belive.
[05:58] <piranesi> stefg, no other dependacies as I would not have been able to unload them with modprobe -r
[05:58] <dwxreaper> then just type sudo wireshark, that's it
[05:58] <magnetron> vsayikiran: i find it easy to use, install it
[05:58] <Dr_Willis> dwxreaper i use xming all the time to get apps running on my windows box, from the linxu server in the basement
[05:58] <GreyGhost> !ask | dwxreaper
[05:58] <ubotu> dwxreaper: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[05:59] <vsayikiran> thanks magnetron
[05:59] <Pici> !gksudo | dwxreaper vsayikiran
[05:59] <ubotu> dwxreaper vsayikiran: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use  gksudo , as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Avoid ever using  sudo <GUI-application>  See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo for more info
[05:59] <dwxreaper> Dr_willis: wI need to install xdmcp for this to work?
[05:59] <Scunizi> Cups broke on latest update (Dapper). Backend /usr/lib/cups/backend/(usb or ipp or socket) does not exits.  Anyone have an idea how to fix this?
[05:59] <dwxreaper> vsay: i just installed wireshark today, and ran it, worked well, but I use it through vnc
[05:59] <Dr_Willis> dwxreaper i alawya ENABLE xdmcp. its a feature of X. that way i can get a whole 'desktop' -  i dont thionk it needs to be enabled for just single apps.
[05:59] <leaf_> !helpbot
[05:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about helpbot - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[05:59] <Grant> I'm trying to make a chroot with hard links.  But when it copies libraries with "cp -l /lib/libncurses.so.5 .lib" it just copies the symbolic link, not the actual file libncurses.so.5 links to.  Is there any way to make it copy the actual file, not the link?
[06:00] <vsayikiran> dwxreaper: what is vnc
[06:00] <Dr_Willis> dwxreaper xdmcp is there. just disabled.  by default.
[06:00] <EvaLuaTe> bulmer, one more thing, what is best setup, setting the DNS server in /etc/network/interfaces , or in /etc/resolv.conf ?
[06:00] <Dr_Willis> !vnc
[06:00] <ubotu> 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
[06:00] <Dr_Willis> vnc is handy also. for doing what i do,
[06:00] <Dr_Willis> but ive had some issues with vnc lately.
[06:00] <dwxreaper> dr_willis: i type gedit, and it says "cant open display" in xming, i said no full screen, muliltple windows
[06:00] <DarthSidius> hi all i want to ask how long i must wait if i request free cd of ubuntu
[06:00] <leaf_> darth, back in the day of breezy I waited 2 months
[06:01] <dwxreaper> I get this : fatal error InitOutput - Duplicate invocation on display number: 0.  Exiting.
[06:01] <magnetron> DarthSidius: 6-10 weeks
[06:01] <dwxreaper> from the xming server log
[06:01] <Sidius> ppz
[06:01] <Dr_Willis> dwxreaper you either need to export the display variable, or set up xhost +whatever properly.  thats what 'ssh' does for you automaticially. you might need ot be sure that your ssh stuff is set to X forwarding.
[06:01] <leaf_>  !bluetooth
[06:01] <ubotu> For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[06:01] <bulmer> EvaLuaTe: you are using static ip addresses...it dont really matter, but for me, i would put the nameserver on /etc/resolv.conf  it is always referenced
[06:01] <jimjackson> How can I remote desktop into my Feisty box FROM a Vista/XP box ???
[06:01] <mojo_> how to remove ubuntu-desktop and all stuffs? I just want a system with ubuntu-base (ubuntu-minimal + ubuntu-standard)
[06:02] <marf> shodges, I know samba is better, but im encountering this problem with samba http://www.clarkconnect.com/forums/showflat.php?Cat=0&Board=cc42&Number=99784&Searchpage=1&Main=99746&Words=samba+performance&topic=&Search=true#Post9978
[06:02] <dwxreaper> dr_willis: okay so try again, but start ssh first, with the -X option, and the xming server log is because ssh wasn't running?
[06:02] <marf> basically read speeds are deadly, but writes speeds are fast over samba
[06:02] <bulmer> jimjackson: command line?  use putty or ssh friendly client
[06:02] <tatters> Pici: why does it say in that article that sudo kate will not run?"There are also some graphical applications that simply will not run with the sudo"   but I have always used sudo kate it opens and not really had any problem
[06:03] <jimjackson> bulmer: No, GUI.. like terminal server client in ubuntu
[06:03] <Pici> tatters: I don't know I didnt write the article.
[06:03] <tatters> So if that part is incorrect what else is?
[06:03] <bulmer> jimjackson: terminal server is gui based i believe
[06:03] <magnetron> !gksudo | Pici tatters
[06:03] <ubotu> Pici tatters: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use  gksudo , as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Avoid ever using  sudo <GUI-application>  See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo for more info
[06:03] <leaf_> oh dude. I just found lsusb, wow
[06:04] <Pici> magnetron: I know. We were talking about that factoid ;)
[06:04] <soothsayer> jimjackson: You can tunnel X connections over ssh. Otherwise, there is VNC, or another app I can't remember the name of...
[06:04] <erUSUL> EvaLuaTe: have you got a working interfaces file? how it looks like?
[06:04] <jimjackson> soothsayer: What is a good VNC client for Windows ?
[06:04] <magnetron> tatters: it may look like it works, but it may also damage your system
[06:04] <EvaLuaTe> wait, i don't know yet if it works, i'm testing
[06:04] <magnetron> jimjackson: tightvnc
[06:05] <jimjackson> thank you :] 
[06:05] <EvaLuaTe> hmm
[06:05] <magnetron> yarrr
[06:05] <tatters> magnetron: 9 months so far I used that and not noticed if it created any problem
[06:05] <EvaLuaTe> when trying to connect to a IRC server i get: failed to connect (DNS lookup failed), any idea ?
[06:05] <bulmer> EvaLuaTe: you tried pinging yet?
[06:06] <magnetron> tatters: i tried it a couple of times, got some problems. just do as the article says :D
[06:06] <tatters> magnetron: but the real issue is the fact it states  sudo kate will not work
[06:06] <genii> ping first dns after
[06:06] <bulmer> EvaLuaTe: try pinging www.yahoo.com as a starter
[06:06] <EvaLuaTe> no, pinging doesn't work either
[06:06] <EvaLuaTe> ping: unknown host www.google.com
[06:06] <magnetron> tatters: you found a factual error in the article? it's not our article
[06:06] <psykidellic> hi..is there any way to find what filesystem was used to format the a USB disk? or more specifically what filesystem an external USB disk is using?
[06:07] <bulmer> EvaLuaTe: ping 69.147.114.210
[06:07] <genii> psykidellic: sudo fdisk -l   result should say what partition type anyhow
[06:07] <magnetron> psykidellic: you could try the gparted tool
[06:07] <EvaLuaTe> connect: Network is unreachable
[06:07] <shodges> marf, my knowledge of Samba performance issues aren't great, so i probably can't help you. the only thing i can offer is make sure you've disabled ipv6, as this fixed Samba performance issues for me
[06:07] <tatters> magnetron: Therefore I feel it safe to assume the rest of the article could be wrong
[06:08] <bulmer> Evaluate  pastebin your   route table via command route  or netstat -ran
[06:09] <jimjackson> Ok my question is: I am using a router at home, with network of one XP pc, one Feisty pc... I have a Vista laptop and want to remote desktop to the Feisty at home... but what is the IP I would use? It is always 192.168.x.x for network... how would I connect ???
[06:09] <kritzstapf> why does cupsys depend on x11-common?
[06:09] <soothsayer> jimjackson: The other app I was thinking of is Freenx. It doesn't seem to be in the repositories though.
[06:09] <magnetron> tatters: one detail is not totally correct, so the rest of it must be completely wrong? read this: "Bottom line: most of the time when you use sudo for graphical applications, it's fine. Some of the time, though, it is not fine, and is, in fact, extremely bad." maybe he was using an older version of kate
[06:09] <EvaLuaTe> bulmer, i get: connect: Network is unreachable

[06:09] <soothsayer> !sound | jugimaster
[06:09] <ubotu> jugimaster: 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
[06:10] <EvaLuaTe> ok bulmer, just a second
[06:10] <bulmer> EvaLuaTe: you dont look like have a route to a gateway
[06:10] <jugimaster> let's see..
[06:10] <psykidellic> genii, it shows Linux as system. That means ext3?
[06:10] <tatters> magnetron: it is no biggy for me personally but I would have assumed at the least the articles ubuntu bot point to would have been proofed read or at least updated to reflect the current state of the distro
[06:10] <theron> jimjackson: are you in your home network as well where you want to connect FROM
[06:11] <genii> jimjackson: You need a way to know what the current ip of your modem/router is, so something like dyndns service and ez-ipupdate client for linux. then need to forward stuff on router to internal 192.168.x.x the Feisty box is on
[06:11] <jimjackson> theron: No unfortunately not ATM... I am at work with my laptop... if you can give instructions I will copy and print..
[06:11] <genii> psykidellic: Odds are ext3 then, if you used default install values
[06:11] <jugimaster> well, i don't really know where to find the volume control..   :P     the situation is that i have no sound (at all), and i think it could be because there may not be a driver for my Terratec Phase 22
[06:12] <magnetron> tatters: also, it may cause a damage that you are unable to detect with your eyes
[06:12] <jimjackson> genii: I apologize, I don't understand what that means, my friend... please explain ?? :)
[06:12] <jugimaster> (as you might have guessed, i've just installed ubuntu) :)
[06:12] <EvaLuaTe> bulmer, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37925/
[06:12] <sp1d3r__> wowwww how many people!!!!!
[06:12] <magnetron> jugimaster: the sound control is the speaker in the upper corner
[06:13] <sp1d3r__> hello to everyone
[06:13] <jugimaster> ohh right
[06:13] <jugimaster> there was a choice for "terratec phase" and alsa, but it was muted for some reason..  let's see if it's alright now
[06:13] <theron> jimjackson so it's different if you're in the network than out.  and the reason is from INSIDE your home network your router is getting an IP address and then providing NAT to all of the clients inside your home network (behind the router) external to your router you would need to do some port forwarding from the external IP address of your router to the client that you wanted to connect to.  (I'd set up a static IP address on that box then)
[06:14] <BernieMac> what can I use to play real video files?
[06:14] <magnetron> sp1d3r__: it was 1600+ users here when 7.04 was released. in a month, 7.10 will be released, you are welcome to the release party in here ;)

[06:15] <tatters> magnetron: so if I use gksudo with evrey command instead of sudo im on safer ground?
[06:15] <NET||abuse> Hi all, anyone fancy chatting to me about a setup of a LinuxMCE or MythTV box in my apartment? We have a sharp 37" tv with pc input, and at the moment there's a handy HP D5000 small form factor pc lying around, i thought i'd download a media center distro, throw in a wifi card, and a pinacle e65 tv card and see if it can drive the screen at some reasonable resolution.
[06:15] <theron> jimjackson: if you're not sure on how to do all of this, I'd google "home network howto", get brushed up on small networks, and then google "port forwarding +<whatever your router model#,brand is>"
[06:15] <jimjackson> theron: Okay.. How would I do that then? I really am not familiar, if I can see step-by-step process I can surely do it.. I know not how to make static IP, etc.
[06:15] <jimjackson> theron: Ok thank you
[06:16] <yves_> is there a french chan ?
[06:16] <magnetron> tatters: use gksudo for graphical applications and sudo for CLI commands
[06:16] <Dr_Willis> NET||abuse theres Mythbuntu in beta testing right now. May want to check it out.
[06:16] <Sijmes_> anyone know why my feisty wont mount usb sticks to the desktop anymore ...?
[06:16] <dmz> anyone know if there are xen3.1 debs for feisty?
[06:16] <magnetron> !fr | yves
[06:16] <ubotu> yves: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[06:16] <yves_> merci
[06:16] <Dr_Willis> NET||abuse ive also had good luck with KnoppMyth
[06:16] <Gothfunc> hi.  is it much trouble to span the /home dir over two 200gb IDE drives, and would there be any performance concerns?
[06:16] <NET||abuse> Dr_Willis, hmm, that's an option, but isn't MCE based on kubuntu also?
[06:16] <EvaLuaTe> bulmer, did you get the paste ?
[06:16] <jugimaster> hmm.. still no sound.    this is weird because the ubuntu installation CD was able to play music..  :P
[06:16] <NET||abuse> knoppMyth? really,, just a live cd?
[06:16] <vsayikiran> hello
[06:17] <vsayikiran> i have tried sudo apt-get install wireshark
[06:17] <vsayikiran> not able t install
[06:17] <Dr_Willis> Gothfunc  you are gong to have a single file that fills one drive? if not.  You could just link the 2nd hd to a users home directory/ExtraStorage dir. or similer.
[06:17] <theron> jimjackson: It's something that in changing you should have a pretty good idea what you're doing.  If you don't configure correctly, you can (and people often do) lose your internet connection
[06:17] <Dr_Willis> NET||abuse its both. :)
[06:17] <Sijmes_> hello .. anyone know why my feisty wont mount usb sticks to the desktop anymore ...?
[06:17] <Dr_Willis> NET||abuse the live cd works as a client.
[06:17] <Gothfunc> Dr_Willis: one user will take more than 200gb
[06:17] <magnetron> vsayikiran: what is the error message?
[06:17] <Dr_Willis> Gothfunc but not a SINGLE file.. you could just put his home dir on the 2nd hd.
[06:18] <Sijmes_> or maybe point me in the right direction ...?
[06:18] <Gothfunc> Dr_Willis: the 3nd hd is only 200gb...
[06:18] <NET||abuse> Dr_Willis, that's an interesting idea,, well we have a wifi network and a terastation jam packed full of DVD rips (we really do have all the dvd's in the attic)
[06:18] <Gothfunc> *2nd
[06:18] <dwxreaper> Dr_willis: xming is working, if I associate xming with ssh.exe
[06:18] <Dr_Willis> Gothfunc 'only'  :)
[06:18] <dbrewer_rjr> i followed one of the sourceforge 'perfect setups', and have error messages coming in the email i set up that cron.daily cannot locate spamasassin stuff in @INC. isn't that the perl5lib thingy? where is that set?
[06:18] <Gothfunc> Dr_Willis: <Gothfunc> Dr_Willis: one user will take more than 200gb
[06:18] <Gothfunc> ;)
[06:18] <dwxreaper> but how come I can't run ssh with -X then start xming and have things work, what exactly is going on behind the scenes
[06:18] <jimjackson> theron: Oh.. I must be careful then hehe :) I hope I can understand it
[06:18] <NET||abuse> Dr_Willis, So really just want to hook this up to play off the wifi network, however the idea of running our digital cable box through it also is a nice idea, will it interface with an ntl box?
[06:18] <Dr_Willis> Gothfunc you can have home dirs on different partitiosn, just use  soft links to sort things out.
[06:19] <Dr_Willis> NET||abuse digital cable  will be a big stumbling point i imagine.
[06:19] <Sijmes_> should i be in a different forum for problem solving ...?
[06:19] <Gothfunc> Dr_Willis: that's the best way is it?
[06:19] <dwxreaper> doesn't ssh -X set the display variable and tunnel xwindows traffic through the tunnel, and running xming would allow a client to accept the display output from the server
[06:19] <Dr_Willis> NET||abuse  i can easially record the low channels. but for higher ones i got to use the digital box.. and cant get  mythtv to change its channels. yet.
[06:19] <NET||abuse> Dr_Willis, what about just an analog tuner to get the analog TV signal? we get terestrial stations over cable here in ireland
[06:19] <theron> jimjackson: yeah read up and take notes. good luck!
[06:19] <Dr_Willis> Gothfunc depends on your needs.. make the users a directory on the 2nd hd. Link it to /home/thatusersname
[06:20] <Dr_Willis> Gothfunc he then has the whole hd.
[06:20] <ivanbili> I wanted to install a second monitor and when I restarted, I can't get to the GUI
[06:20] <Gothfunc> Dr_Willis: plus the space he has on the 1st hd?
[06:20] <Dr_Willis> NET||abuse you proberly should check out the MythTV forums and info on yoru specific country/cable provider.
[06:20] <Gosha> ahoi?
[06:20] <NET||abuse> Dr_Willis, the worry i have is with support for the hardware, I have a pinacle tv tuner, but it's kind of odd.. the window interface really really really sucked
[06:20] <Gothfunc> Dr_Willis: or just the 2nd hd?
[06:20] <ivanbili> which configuration file should I look at and back up?
[06:20] <genii> back
[06:20] <magnetron> vsayikiran: what error message do you get?
[06:20] <Dr_Willis> Gothfunc Huh?  if you got the 2nd hd's home linked to /home/whatever all his stiff is on the 2nd hd.
[06:20] <Gothfunc> Dr_Willis: basically 1 user needs 300gb, and i have 2x200gb HDs for the home dir
[06:20] <piranesi> I  tried to put in blacklist radeon, drm, intel_agp, and agpgart modules, but they always get loaded, how can I stop them from autoload?
[06:21] <Dr_Willis> Gothfunc NOW you describe a different problem.
[06:21] <dmz> anyone run xen w/ubuntu?
[06:21] <Gothfunc> Dr_Willis: i was describing that all along if you care to read up ;x
[06:21] <magnetron> !xen
[06:21] <ubotu> XEN is a virtual machine monitor for x86 that supports execution of multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of performance and resource isolation. Information on installing it for Ubuntu can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenOnEdgy
[06:21] <Dr_Willis> Gothfunc either check out software raids/lvm, or get a biggger hd.
[06:21] <adrian15> What is the boot option in your live or alternate cd/dvd that you use the most?
[06:22] <Dr_Willis> Gothfunc  if theres not going to be a singel file. He could have a /home and a /home/storage on the 2nd hd  if you absoutely need 300GB in a single filesystem/directory - ya got to go anotehr route.
[06:22] <Dr_Willis> if  hes just going to have 300gb of mp3's well thats  easier. :)
[06:22] <dmz> oh well
[06:22] <Dr_Willis> The devil is in the details.
[06:22] <tatters> I just run my freeview box coax to coax on my analogue tv card n watch that way going to get a digital tv card soon
[06:23] <panzer> f
[06:23] <Gothfunc> Dr_Willis: i may do it like that... seems better to have a straightforward quota etc.  but if it's too much hassle i'll just have a subdir as you describe
[06:23] <genii> jimjackson: Brief explanation: Your router has an IP internet sees. your internal box does not.Trying to vnc or ssh to the router's IP fails unless the ports for VNC or ssh are passed internally to the computer you need to reach that way. The dyndns service is to provide a way to reach an internet IP which your ISP may change from time to time on you. The ez-ipupdate application is the linux program that allows you to use the dyndns
[06:23] <genii> service. There are other services like this, easydns for instance.
[06:23] <Gothfunc> maybe downloads
[06:23] <Gothfunc> Dr_Willis: thanks
[06:23] <Dr_Willis> Gothfunc my single user has his home dir across 5 drives. :)
[06:24] <NET||abuse> Dr_Willis, haha, how big is each driver?
[06:24] <jimjackson> genii: Thank you so much... it is making more sense now :) I am reading on google
[06:24] <bulmer> EvaLuaTe: i was away..what was it?
[06:24] <tatters> 100 mb :/
[06:24] <Dr_Willis> NET||abuse from 120gb to 500gb.
[06:24] <EvaLuaTe> bulmer, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37925/
[06:24] <EvaLuaTe> :)
[06:24] <NET||abuse> Dr_Willis, what the heck takes up so much?
[06:24] <EvaLuaTe> there's the paste you requested
[06:25] <Dr_Willis> NET||abuse  Home Movies/storage for my emulator stuff mainly.
[06:25] <NET||abuse> Dr_Willis, movies/mp3's or something else? massive gimp files?
[06:25] <bulmer> EvaLuaTe: you know why you are not getting anywhere when you ping right?
[06:25] <Dr_Willis> I got 6gb of wallpapers. :)
[06:25] <Dr_Willis> ISO files.
[06:25] <Dr_Willis> it all adds up.
[06:25] <NET||abuse> Dr_Willis, haha, that's alot :) i've about 200MB of em, so that's about 500 wallpapers
[06:25] <EvaLuaTe> bulmer, not if you don't tell me =)
[06:26] <NET||abuse> Dr_Willis, found any nice wallpaper manager software for ubuntu?
[06:26] <genii> Dr_Willis: Geez
[06:26] <bulmer> EvaLuaTe: before i do, try this ping localhost; after it responds, ping  78.96.37.12  and tell me what you get
[06:26] <Dr_Willis> NET||abuse i just wrote my own that does a random wallpaper every 5 min or so.
[06:26] <magnetron> \/ 6GB wallpapers, Dr_Willis? back in my days, we were happy with 40MB hard drives
[06:26] <bulmer> EvaLuaTe: before i do, try this ping localhost; after it responds, ping  78.96.37.128   and tell me what you get
[06:26] <NET||abuse> Dr_Willis, there's a package that does that, wallpaper-tray
[06:27] <Dr_Willis> magnetron now a days we get single video files that are 4+GB :)
[06:27] <Dr_Willis> NET||abuse IF you are using gnome /kde :) which im not.
[06:27] <EvaLuaTe> bulmer, connect: Network is unreachable
[06:27] <EvaLuaTe> :)
[06:27] <Dr_Willis> i wrote my own for my fluxbox setup.
[06:27] <magnetron> Dr_Willis: hey i know
[06:27] <tatters> I realised that 99% of the stuff I stored could be downloaded again I decided the net was best place to leave them and download as and when required
[06:27] <NET||abuse> Dr_Willis, ohhh, what's your WM/
[06:27] <bulmer> Evaluate pinging localhost?
[06:27] <NET||abuse> Dr_Willis, right, fluxbox
[06:27] <Dr_Willis> well off to the bank. bbl.
[06:27] <EvaLuaTe> no, pinging localhost works, the other one
[06:27] <EvaLuaTe> ohh wait, you meant 128
[06:27] <EvaLuaTe> hmm
[06:28] <EvaLuaTe> bulmer, it says 'Do you want to ping broadcast? Then -b'
[06:28] <EvaLuaTe> :)
[06:28] <bulmer> Evaluate please put a prefix of my nick on your responses to me..ill miss it if i dont see it
[06:28] <EvaLuaTe> does that mean i have to put broadcast in the interfaces file also ?
[06:28] <EvaLuaTe> bulmer, ok sorry :)
[06:29] <bulmer> Evaluate pinging localhost?  ping localhost
[06:29] <EvaLuaTe> bulmer, pinging localhost works fine
[06:29] <ivanbili> xorg.conf files... what do the different ones mean? xorg.conf.1 xorg.conf.2 xorg.conf.backup?
[06:29] <bulmer> Evaluate ping 78.96.37.128
[06:29] <genii> ivanbili: backups numbered incrementally
[06:30] <EvaLuaTe> bulmer, it says 'Do you want to ping broadcast? Then -b'
[06:30] <ivanbili> so which one is the most recent backup?
[06:30] <bulmer> EvaLuaTe: no
[06:30] <EvaLuaTe> bulmer, well, that's what is says :)
[06:31] <bulmer> Evaluate you can not ping 78.96.37.128 at all?
[06:31] <EvaLuaTe> bulmer, no
[06:32] <kenji> guys for linux witch graphical svn client its the best?
[06:32] <bulmer> EvaLuaTe: /etc/init.d/networking restart ; then paste result of netstat -ran
[06:33] <EvaLuaTe> bulmer, the result is the same
[06:33] <tatters> I want to be able to attach my laptop via ethernet to any pxe capable PC so that it can install ubuntu directly without need for internet connection nor CD/DVD etc except for the .iso on my laptop, I have found a vmware appliance which seems to do the trick but has not been updated recently does anyone know of a simaler solution?
[06:33] <bulmer> EvaLuaTe: am guessing..same what?
[06:33] <EvaLuaTe> bulmer, just like i pasted on the website
[06:33] <EvaLuaTe> bulmer, just like here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37925/
[06:33] <bulmer> EvaLuaTe: i have closed the windows...sorry
[06:34] <EvaLuaTe> no problem, i gave you the link again
[06:34] <bulmer> Evaluate can you paste the contents of your /etc/network/interfaces again..there are no default gateway specified?
[06:34] <EvaLuaTe> yes, there is
[06:34] <EvaLuaTe> bulmer, wait i'll paste it again
[06:36] <Jifbo> Hey
[06:36] <Ecalix> how easy is it to upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10 with out formating?
[06:36] <Jifbo> Can anyone help with installing Ubuntu from the liveCD on RAID0?
[06:36] <Jaomi> Hello! =)
[06:37] <mc44> Ecalix: 7.10 is still in alpha, if you don't want it to break, don't use it
[06:37] <bingodeville> w
[06:37] <genii> bulmer: doesn't IP  x.x.x.128 with mask 240 allow only minhost IP 129, max of 142 (143 broadcast)
[06:37] <Ecalix> mc44, i thought it wasnt in alpha anymore, isnt it soon to be released?
[06:37] <EvaLuaTe> bulmer, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37926/
[06:38] <mc44> Ecalix: not till late next month
[06:38] <adurity> Anyone else at IDF right now?
[06:38] <bulmer> genii you may be right..i didnt even calculate yet..hang on
[06:38] <slackern> Jifbo: maybe this can help http://www.ubuntu-in.org/wiki/SATA_RAID_Howto
[06:38] <Jaomi> Is there any good game that works in Linux? Not to grapich intense as I'm on a Dell D510 (1,4Ghz Celeron M, 512MB ram, GMA 900....)
[06:38] <Jifbo> Thanks :)
[06:39] <EvaLuaTe> genii, how would i calculate that ?
[06:39] <slackern> Jifbo: you could try to google "ubuntu install raid 7.04" also and see what that gives you
[06:39] <kidbuntu> cant see XP on my grub boot list after recovering grub after installing XP
[06:40] <marf> quick question. I have an openfiler distro on a box on my network. It has a share with NFS and Samba enabled on it. I can connect to the share from winXP (using samba), I am on my ubuntu box and I want to access the NFS share, how can I Achieve this (Please note I'm using LDAP authentication to access the share, and I see no documentation mentioning NFS share mounting with a username and...
[06:40] <marf> ...password).
[06:40] <bulmer> genii: its in the range..    .129 should be hit  but .128 is the network though
[06:40] <felipernb> a curious thing is happening with my computer. when i'm running with a single monitor, everything works fine, but when i use two (with xinerama), the sound (mp3 musics) don't play well. they keep having interruptions as if the computer was busy, but i take a look on the system monitor, and it's not
[06:40] <Jifbo> Thanks slackern
[06:40] <EvaLuaTe> bulmer, could you please tell me how i could calculate the netmask ?
[06:40] <genii> EvaLuaTe: There are online netmask calculators for this
[06:40] <felipernb> have any of you ever faced this kind of curous problem?
[06:41] <EvaLuaTe> ohh, ok
[06:41] <EvaLuaTe> thanks
[06:41] <EvaLuaTe> :)
[06:41] <slackern> Jifbo: wish i could help more but i haven't set up a raid myself for years =/
[06:41] <bulmer> EvaLuaTe: try to use 78.96.37.133 and not .128  to ensure its in the range
[06:41] <genii> bulmer: I suspect his interface assigned to .128 may need 32 mask
[06:41] <EvaLuaTe> ok, wait
[06:42] <Rotund> Hello, I can't seem to report a bug in Launchpad, but I've gotta run back to work and might forget.
[06:42] <EvaLuaTe> bulmer, i have put .35 and .36, because 30-32 is taken by the windows machine, i restarted, still i get no ping from google
[06:43] <webdude2007> firefox won't start for me today, tried all the solutions on the forum .... renamed .mozilla etc, ran from terminal and nothing, no error message
[06:43] <bulmer> genii: ipcalc shows that 78.96.37.133/28  will show .128 as network, and you cant ping a network
[06:43] <webdude2007> reinstalled also
[06:43] <bulmer> EvaLuaTe: you wont get to google you dont have a gateway..btw.. .133 not .35 eh
[06:43] <Rotund> I couldn't upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy w/o changing a file.  /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/UpdateManager/DistUpgradeFetcher.py needed to import os and import dbus
[06:44] <EvaLuaTe> bulmer, yeah, 135 and 136 is what i've set, sorry
[06:44] <genii> bulmer Yup
[06:44] <jduggan_> hey guys, how can i reconfigure which apt mirrors to use without manually editing sources.list? i seem to remember there was a curses menu that you could choose the official mirror(s) from?
[06:44] <bulmer> EvaLuaTe: try to use 78.96.37.133 and not .128  to ensure its in the range
[06:44] <webdude2007> any ideas?
[06:44] <EvaLuaTe> bulmer, i did, i'm using 135 and 136
[06:45] <jugimaster_> (continued)  OK, so I unmuted the "alsa mixer" for my soundcard,  via the volume control menu,  but there's still no sound.   - My card is Terratec Phase 22,  and this is obviously not as "standard" as a soundblaster or so,  but the ubuntu installation CD was able to play the theme music, so..
[06:45] <Jaomi> Does anyone have any idea on my question? : Good Game for Ubuntu! =)
[06:45] <genii> Jaomi: tuxracer
[06:45] <marx2k> jugi: Are you sure the card is set as the default output card?
[06:45] <bulmer> Evaluate did you paste your windows  netstat -ran  or route table yet?
[06:45] <Jaomi> Also, Its 25 years since the first smiley came!!! :D Go santa! *<|:)
[06:46] <centyx> Hi. Anyone know of a gtk/gnome equivalent to kalarm?
[06:46] <genii> centyx: teatime
[06:46] <centyx> genii: thanks
[06:46] <kidbuntu> cant see XP on my grub boot list after recovering grub after installing XP
[06:47] <EvaLuaTe> bulmer, yes i did, i already gave you the link

[06:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about aport - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[06:47] <CrippsFX> I'm currently running a debian system ... were I to change my /etc/apt/sources.list to point to a kubuntu repo, and run "apt-get dist-upgrade" would that put kubuntu on my system, or make everything dirty and cause my machine to die a slow and horrible death?
[06:48] <bulmer> EvaLuaTe: i missed it, i closed the windows..repaste please
[06:48] <PriceChild> !debian | CrippsFX
[06:48] <ubotu> CrippsFX: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process.

[06:48] <blk> ubuntu installs dev-libs into their own subfolders inside /usr/include/, is there a way to work around editing each header file to search in current dir? "include.h" or <APP/include.h> instead of <include.h>
[06:48] <winbond> CrippsFX, forget about it, download a cd and install it
[06:48] <Jaomi> Thans a bunch Genii!

[06:49] <vecina> What kinds of software do i need to burn image files in .bin and .mdf formats?
[06:49] <kidbuntu> help please. grub doesnt give me a choice to boot windows XP after recovering grub
[06:49] <genii> centyx: Sorry, teatime may not be what you want if you want email scheduling etc :(
[06:49] <bulmer> Evaluate did you paste your windows <-- windows os     netstat -ran  or route table yet?
[06:49] <vecina> k3b only wants to burn .iso images
[06:49] <CrippsFX> PreZ, I am very familiar with both, and suspected as much, I just held out for the *infinitely small* chance that it *could* be done.
[06:49] <genii> Jaomi: np :) It's addictive btw
[06:49] <CrippsFX> er ... PriceChild : that last one was meant for you.
[06:49] <centyx> oops.
[06:49] <CrippsFX> :)
[06:50] <jugimaster__> marx2:  sorry, my network went down again..  :)   - You were talking about setting the terratec card to be the default device,  but how do i do that?
[06:50] <EvaLuaTe> bulmer, no, wait, i'll do it in a minute :)
[06:50] <PriceChild> CrippsFX, it *could* be done... but it'll probably never be a perfect... i reccomend you back up your /home with all your settings etc. and move it over
[06:50] <CrippsFX> PriceChild, yeah. seems like the best approach.
[06:50] <Lord_Drachenblut> CrippsFX: sometimes it can be done but it's not the most recomended thing to try.  better would be to compile yourself
[06:50] <inf1ni> hey anyone know which binary to start the text-based installer or graphical installer?
[06:51] <SoulChild> my network interface is called eth2 altough there isn't an interface called eth1 ,... how do i restart the network ???? /etc/init.d/networking does not exsist
[06:51] <PriceChild> inf1ni, ubiquity
[06:51] <centyx> genii: yea, I also forgot that I'm actually looking for a standalone application that will dock to system tray rather than a gnome applet, as I'm using pypanel w/ openbox
[06:51] <PriceChild> inf1ni, that's the graphical one
[06:51] <SeveredCross> SoulChild: You might wanna restart udev to get it to reassign the numbers.
[06:51] <SeveredCross> I think.
[06:51] <SeveredCross> Don't take my word for it.
[06:51] <SoulChild> SeveredCross: yes thanks
[06:51] <vecina> is there some other way im supposed to burn a .bin image?
[06:52] <inf1ni> pricechild: which command would that be?
[06:52] <bulmer> Evaluate hurry up..i have to go very soon
[06:52] <Jaomi> Going to shop, brb!! :) When i get back, i wnat some help on how to use WINE! ;) xD <3
[06:52] <genii> centyx: Ah, OK. Offhand I can't think of one,I use KDE mostly these days
[06:52] <SeveredCross> vecina: You might need bchunk to convert it into an ISO that you can burn with K3b or Gnomebaker or something.
[06:52] <PriceChild> inf1ni, ubiquity ?
[06:52] <inf1ni> pricechild: yes
[06:52] <centyx> genii: thanks anyway

[06:56] <bulmer> EvaLuaTe: can you ping 78.96.37.130 ?
[06:56] <EvaLuaTe> bulmer, yes
[06:57] <jugimaster__> marx2k:  Thanks for the tip, setting the terratec to be the default device worked! :)
[06:57] <SoulChild> why do i have a eth2 device but no eth1 ???
[06:57] <bulmer> EvaLuaTe: on the ubuntu can you replace the default gateway  to 78.96.37.130 and then do  /etc/init.d/networking restart
[06:57] <Astaroth> so um why is no-one helping out with the sound problems?

[07:02] <Astaroth> this is coming from someone who has been pretty much crusading for ubuntu
[07:03] <luca> hi everyone
[07:03] <PriceChild> kidbuntu, is windows on the same physical drive? if so see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=554738 which "should" work
[07:03] <Astaroth> hey guys, i have no sound and have tried everything, anyone care to help?
[07:04] <PriceChild> kidbuntu, just alter "root (hd0,0)" to the correct partition
[07:04] <PriceChild> !sound | Astaroth
[07:04] <ubotu> Astaroth: 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
[07:04] <Astaroth> done that
[07:04] <kidbuntu> PriceChild: i'll check the link
[07:04] <PriceChild> Oh and Astaroth, if you have done everything then there's nothing else to try and we can't help?
[07:04] <Astaroth> no-one has even TRIED to help

[07:05] <luca> has anyone tried to install the latest nvidia driver and run compiz?
[07:05] <PriceChild> Leon_home, sorry to ask, but why?
[07:05] <kidbuntu> PriceChild: is the "save default" necessary to add?
[07:05] <PriceChild> luca, #ubuntu-effects please
[07:05] <PriceChild> kidbuntu, not that I know of :)
[07:05] <mweichert> Leon_home edit /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
[07:06] <bulmer> Evaluate you are connected to same hub/switch  as these windows?
[07:06] <PriceChild> Astaroth, it might be useful to know what you have tried, and to pastebin outputs of tests from ubotu's message
[07:06] <Astaroth> sure thing
[07:06] <kidbuntu> PriceChild: is there a way to know where my windows partition is. i ran sudo fdisk -l. I saw /dev/hda4 as the ntfs? is that equivalent to (hdo,4)?
[07:07] <Astaroth> I have tried everything in the Comprehensive Sound Solutions Guide thread
[07:07] <PriceChild> kidbuntu, almost :) grub starts counting at 0, so it "should" be (hd0,3)
[07:07] <Astaroth> and if you look at the end of this page of that thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449&page=65
[07:07] <PriceChild> Astaroth, also tell the channel what card you have
[07:07] <Astaroth> i am having the same problem as those people

[07:08] <Astaroth> i have also rebuilt alsa from scratch

[07:08] <PriceChild> kidbuntu, lemme know if it works :)
[07:08] <Astaroth> reinstalled all remotely relevant packages including linux sound base, gstreamer, amarok etc
[07:08] <PriceChild> Astaroth, that isn't official ubuntu documentation, read the ubuntu wiki guide.
[07:08] <Astaroth> needless to say sound works fine in other OSs
[07:08] <PriceChild> Astaroth, also, reinstalling packages does no good as configuration files are left
[07:08] <Astaroth> i've run through that as well
[07:09] <cmak> anyone knows how to manually invoke procmail to process mail from /var/mail/user ?

[07:09] <Astaroth> i haven't tried that
[07:09] <Astaroth> what does it mean if it does work?
[07:09] <centyx> genii: I went with the program "plan." It's ugly, but it works.
[07:09] <pr1sm> i tested everything in the live cd before i installed, and i got exactly what i saw there
[07:09] <Leon_home> how can i restart my apache ?
[07:10] <Leon_home> server
[07:10] <Astaroth> i mean if i find that it does work, what would the next step be considering i have worked through all these guides
[07:10] <Astaroth> if you look at the actual error me and those other people are having, it doesn't really seem to be about sound
[07:10] <Astaroth> it's more like a make problem
[07:11] <Astaroth> or dpkg

[07:22] <fermatstheorem> dfas in the main area
[07:22] <abonilla> Hi, since I installed automatix and did some fonts install It looks like gdm comes up but my screen is blank.
[07:22] <soundray> dfas: make sure you create the entry *after* the line that says '### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC' and so on.
[07:22] <jl> thanks guys i've been using beryl for a while and i think its great but i will really like to give compiz fusion a try and see whats new
[07:22] <Dr_Willis> abonilla installing automatix was your first mistake.
[07:22] <dfas> soundray: after? why?
[07:22] <Psythor> Hi, can I be annoying and ask a stupid question quickly?
[07:22] <soundray> abonilla: you have probably wrecked your system. Better do a reinstall
[07:23] <Dr_Willis> abonilla id say check the automatix forums for others that have simile rissues.
[07:23] <Jaomi> How do i USE RDPARM
[07:23] <abonilla> Dr_Willis: it looked fine :|
[07:23] <fermatstheorem> abonilla: i also have installed some fonts, screen blanking may be due to it, automatix if frowned upon by the members of ubuntu church
[07:23] <soundray> dfas: because then it won't be deleted next time you have a kernel update
[07:23] <Dr_Willis> abonilla  a cobra looks pretty also. :)
[07:23] <jl> anyone?
[07:23] <dfas> soundray: oh I see. thanks a lot!
[07:23] <taime1> whats the easiest way to change root's theme?
[07:23] <Astaroth> PriceChild?
[07:23] <soundray> !automatix | abonilla
[07:23] <ubotu> abonilla: 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)
[07:23] <sbucat> dfas: sudo vol_id /dev/sd4 set it leading your need
[07:23] <Lea1> I've been following the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothAudio and have gotten to the point where I need to pair my computer to the headset, I get a "Can't connect RFCOMM channel: Connection refused" error.
[07:23] <abonilla> No seriously, this is my work PC. is there a clue to fix?
[07:23] <fermatstheorem> abonilla: did you install any othe software like graphics driver etc
[07:23] <dfas> sbucat: sorry, what?
[07:24] <abonilla> fermatstheorem: nop
[07:24] <Dr_Willis> abonilla the automatix forums, channel. or check the gdm logs.
[07:24] <abonilla> only the fonts
[07:24] <Dr_Willis> abonilla automatix installed some fonts?
[07:24] <abonilla> Dr_Willis: ok which was the log file /var/log/gdm/something?
[07:24] <fermatstheorem> abonilla: hit ctrl alt f1 and check if you get login prompt
[07:24] <Dr_Willis> abonilla you may need to ebable verbose logging in the gdm config files.
[07:24] <dfas> soundray: do I need to run the 'sudo vol_id' stuff sbucat suggested?
[07:24] <abonilla> Dr_Willis: I did and it had a deb with some grep script to some fonts
[07:24] <Jaomi> How do i use HDPARM to see how good my HDD is?
[07:25] <Jaomi> What should i type in the terminal?=
[07:25] <fermatstheorem> !hdparm
[07:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hdparm - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[07:25] <soundray> dfas: I don't know what he or she was on about. Ignore if no explanation is forthcoming.
[07:25] <fermatstheorem> Jaomi: hdparm is to be use with utlmost caution
[07:25] <Dr_Willis> abonilla could kill gdm, then start it from a shell with 'sudo gdm' and see if any messages show up also.
[07:25] <abonilla> fermatstheorem: I'm in a console right not
[07:25] <sbucat> dfas: sorry mistake =)
[07:25] <fermatstheorem> Jaomi: man hdparm is quite comprehensive
[07:25] <EvaLuaTe> bulmer, are you still there ?
[07:25] <abonilla> Dr_Willis: on my console startx works and gives me the login sound inclusive
[07:25] <fermatstheorem> abonilla: are you /are you not?
[07:26] <Jaomi> I want to se how fast my hdd can read/write... xD

[07:26] <taime1> whats the easiest way to change root's gnome theme?
[07:26] <paradizelost> hey all, i need to make command line install with X installed auto-logon to a user account, i used to do it in /etc/inittab, where do i do this in feisty?
[07:26] <soundray> taime1: please don't work as root.
[07:26] <abonilla> fermatstheorem: startx as root does the same
[07:26] <taime1> soundray: who said i was working as root?
[07:26] <fermatstheorem> abonilla: dont do that
[07:27] <abonilla> Is like if the Monitor wouldn't be recognized but X works, it does does not show
[07:27] <fermatstheorem> abonilla: i assume you are int he text based login prompt?
[07:27] <abonilla> fermatstheorem: Yes.
[07:27] <soundray> taime1: I concluded that from your question. Rephrase if that was not what you meant.
[07:27] <fermatstheorem> abonilla: login as regular user
[07:27] <Astaroth> *sigh* no sound for me i suppose

[07:27] <fevel> is there a way to make touchpad sensitivity for clicking  stronger??
[07:27] <abonilla> fermatstheorem: I killed it and restarted it.
[07:27] <taime1> soundray: sorry to mislead. i simply want to change root's theme because when i have to update or use synaptic, its rather ugly... heh
[07:27] <fermatstheorem> abonilla: awright
[07:28] <Gothfunc> in parted, print shows " 4      11.4GB  204GB  193GB  primary  ext3", i enter "resize 4 0 204GB", and it returns "Error: Can't have the end before the start!" - but the end isn't before the start??
[07:28] <soundray> taime1: do you mean the root window appearance? It's called desktop background in gnome/.
[07:28] <abonilla> fermatstheorem: I need something stronger here. :|
[07:28] <Dr_Willis> taime1 i saw a artical on that just today on the ubuntu news site.. let me see
[07:28] <Rosette> Hey guys, quick question: How well supported is the Nvidia 8800 card driver-wise?
[07:28] <fermatstheorem> abonilla: when you say blank...nothing comes up? did any error msg come?
[07:28] <soundray> taime1: what do you mean by "root's theme"?
[07:28] <Dr_Willis> taime1 http://www.ubuntuhq.com/content/theme-applications-running-root-ubuntu-0
[07:28] <fermatstheorem> abonilla: /var/log/Xorg logs?
[07:28] <taime1> i dont really want to enable root account and ogin... so i thought maybe there was a file i could just edit to use 'clearlooks'
[07:28] <Jaomi> How do i type to someone? So everyone see the message, but the person i type to get's a little notofication? :S :)
[07:29] <FerrariBoss> hii
[07:29] <Dr_Willis> taime1 you could just do 'startx' as root set the stuff i guess then exit out.
[07:29] <Lea1> jaomi, usually it beeps if you put their full username in the msg
[07:29] <taime1> Jaomi, type that person's nick, as i just did to you
[07:29] <FerrariBoss> Ciao a tutti ce qualche italiano qui..
[07:29] <soundray> Gothfunc: it's not a resize operation if you're trying to move the beginning of a partition.
[07:29] <abonilla> fermatstheorem: doesn't look like there is anything, xorg works, it is just black.
[07:29] <Gothfunc> soundray: move says "use resize"

[07:34] <ubotu> Astaroth: 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

[07:35] <soundray> SoulChild: why do you keep repeating this question?
[07:35] <abonilla> is there a command to determine which are the installed packages so I can grep the fonts ones
[07:35] <stefg> SoulChild: all modern computers use ACPI
[07:35] <Gothfunc> soundray: yeah, it involved me losing some work though, but oh well, no choice now
[07:36] <abonilla> fermatstheorem: ok
[07:36] <fermatstheorem> SoulChild: all computers are acpi compliant

[07:39] <ASDDDD> Lea... R U there?
[07:39] <soundray> SoulChild: many ACPI implementations are buggy and/or incomplete.
[07:39] <fermatstheorem> abonilla: it depends on the fonts that ws installed,
[07:39] <Castyo> i've some problem with beryl session, someone can help me?

[07:39] <abonilla> fermatstheorem: well, I just want the basic.
[07:39] <genii> SoulChild: make sure you have lm-sensors installed
[07:39] <stefg> SoulChild: that depends on which hardware is present... no battery ,no thermal sensor ... no output
[07:40] <soundray> SoulChild: try a 'cat /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/info' to see if you've got basic functionality.
[07:40] <Astaroth> fermatstheorem: ......?
[07:40] <fermatstheorem> abonilla: you may do two things now 1. google for the font errot thrown by x 2.if you are sure that about the font name, uncommen and ry running x again

[07:40] <soundray> genii: that's not helpful if he's looking for ACPI related information.
[07:41] <Astaroth> sorry, i thought you asked me to tell you what the problem was. (you did)
[07:41] <abonilla> fermatstheorem: can I remove the whole fonts things Or how can I just make it reinstall the gnome core
[07:41] <fermatstheorem> nono
[07:41] <fermatstheorem> abonilla: donto remove the fonts section~
[07:41] <fermatstheorem> !
[07:41] <gargan-> i hate a card with an rt2561 chipset. ubuntu has a module for it but i want to replace it with the module from the manuafacturer. i have a .o file ready to go but i cant seem to get it loaded in the kernel
[07:41] <abonilla> fermatstheorem: I mean the actual files, the packages.
[07:41] <gargan-> er- first part of that sentence should be 'i have a wireless card with'
[07:41] <fermatstheorem> abonilla: i dont think gnome is the culprit
[07:41] <z1pp3r> I have an application running on a machine with dual cpu's (not just dual-core). However, the said application only uses one of the cpu's. What gives?
[07:41] <Lea1> removing fonts would leave you with no ability to read your term, hehe bad news

[07:42] <gargan-> soundray: actually that is what i meant. i have rt61.ko ready to go
[07:42] <Lea1> asdddd I messaged you
[07:42] <gargan-> but there's already a module by that name loaded in the kernel
[07:42] <gargan-> i cant get it to unload cause it says it's in use
[07:42] <fermatstheorem> abonilla: let us try the two apporaches i mentioned before we do drastic stuff
[07:42] <Astaroth> Timmy: I am having sound problems as well. have you tried this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449
[07:42] <gargan-> so i tried ifdown -a and it still wont let me get it out

[07:42] <ASDDDD> i didnt gey your message Lea
[07:42] <gargan-> insmod tells me there's already one by that name
[07:42] <ASDDDD> do you have messenger???
[07:42] <gargan-> do i need to recompile the kernel?

[07:48] <console_jockey> how does one change the default shell from bash to say zsh (assuming zsh has been installed) when opening konsole?
[07:48] <WaltzingAlong> z1pp3r: if it does not already support multiple cpus or threads, then it would need to be compiled with that support (which may also mean it needs to be written with that support)

[07:48] <DevideZero> fermatstheorem , what you mean ?
[07:48] <stefg> console_jockey: that's a per-user setting, which is defined in the user control applet. But it will affect console logins too

[07:50] <DevideZero> fermatstheorem , sorry my english is not the besy , i have tried MonoDevelop that i heard is the best .net editor \ compiler and he wasnt good enought for me ( i dont talk about win forms ) so emacs is better ?
[07:50] <briantumor> i just want to use the boot parameters

[07:51] <WaltzingAlong> DevideZero: what are you looking for? basically visual studio?

[08:18] <NemesisD> how do i convert WMA files to OGG or MP3? I tried soundconverter and the tracks sound extremely mangled

[08:18] <Astaroth> i have tried OSS as well
[08:18] <faris> no saudi arabia

[08:18] <Astaroth> i have done
[08:18] <faris> i have java

[08:18] <soundray> faris: don't post errors
[08:18] <scratchy> did you try that if something f@$%@ up you sound there must be a conflict ..
[08:18] <soundray> faris: use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org

[08:19] <Astaroth> yes i have tried tons
[08:19] <soundray> faris: what version of java do you have?
[08:19] <Astaroth> right after the problem appeared, playing sound would slow down my comp a lot
[08:19] <[nrx] > Astaroth: i presume you have kmixer setup right, etc?
[08:19] <faris> 1.6
[08:19] <Astaroth> kmixer? you mean alsamixer?
[08:19] <soundray> faris: are you using java -jar JAP.jar to start it?
[08:19] <Astaroth> anyway i dont see how that matters considering the way the problem manifested
[08:19] <scratchy> give a lspci -v
[08:19] <[nrx] > Astaroth: no, i mean kmixer but if you're using alsamixer, that's fine

[08:39] <mnk3ym4n> SamFrancisco: you can also use synaptic
[08:39] <genii> KarmaPolice: You did not need to go to the command-line interface to grub, only to hit ESC 1 time during boot of it, then use up/down arrow keys to select the Safe kernel then hit enter
[08:40] <KarmaPolice> geni .. no safe kernel
[08:40] <genii> KarmaPolice: At any rate, it is safe to hit reboot key from there without a problem
[08:40] <KarmaPolice> do you mean recovery mode

[08:40] <GuHhH> i need some help... im trying to remove some packages with dpkg --purge, but it says  it has dependencies... --force do not solves the problem

[08:41] <Slart> GuHhH: --force-all might work.. or something like that... but I wouldn't recommend using it.. if there are dependencies you'll be breaking stuff
[08:42] <mnk3ym4n> SamFrancisco: try closing terminal, re-opening it, and doing it
[08:42] <genii> GuHhH: Try instead to use aptitude or apt-get for removing this way, they deal better with the dependencies
[08:42] <KarmaPolice> thanks geni ..

[08:52] <ziv> its for my dad
[08:52] <SamFrancisco> mnk3ym4n: can u log in thru debian gui as root?
[08:52] <ziv> I used open office but my dad is pretty much an A hole when it comes to open source
[08:52] <ajisin> @Pkdor thnxx man @ Slart you too
[08:53] <carl> ne1 on
[08:53] <matti__> If you have ways to install ms office to ubuntu please share it with me too.!
[08:53] <matti__> My girlfriend has issues with openOffice
[08:53] <kimmey2k3> wine?
[08:53] <PKdoR> ziv: if anything and if you must osu M$ Office the I would sugest to install it with wine
[08:53] <NemesisD> matti__, what problems does she have with it :(
[08:53] <Warsocket> ziv you could try Wine or VMware (if youre really desparate)
[08:53] <ziv> pkdor: I know wine but I read there is another program...
[08:53] <mnk3ym4n> SamFrancisco: doing "sudo su -" as a normal user will give you a terminal with root privs
[08:53] <ajisin> u cant install ms office in ubuntu
[08:53] <PriceChild> matti__, can't do sorry
[08:53] <carl> does ne1 know ne real good downloads for ubuntu
[08:53] <NemesisD> carl, that sure is vague
[08:54] <PriceChild> carl, what do you want to do?
[08:54] <ziv> pkdor: does VMware needs a good pc?
[08:54] <mnk3ym4n> SamFrancisco: doing "sudo (command)" as a normal user will run that cmd with root privs
[08:54] <matti__> aahh.. The usual.. "im used to this! Why should I learn how to use another one??"

[08:54] <Warsocket> applications -> Add/Remove
[08:54] <SamFrancisco> mnk3ym4n: I believe you, but Feisty apparently doesn't... What am I missing?
[08:54] <matti__> ok.. So wine it is.
[08:54] <carl> I want a download like iTunes in Ubuntu
[08:54] <carl> a music manager
[08:54] <NemesisD> carl, i personally like exaile for that but a lot of people don't
[08:54] <PKdoR> ziv: I belive that it depend alot on the OS you will be emulating
[08:55] <mnk3ym4n> SamFrancisco: it does.  using feisty here and it works.  no idea what is different about your system.  something sounds wrong
[08:55] <ziv> pkdor: well then I'll use wine
[08:55] <SamFrancisco> mnk3ym4n:   Duh... agreed.  I feel stoopid.
[08:55] <carl> does it burn cds and all?
[08:55] <Warsocket> if wine doesnt work you could always use vmware, but then you need a wibndows licence
[08:55] <NemesisD> carl, probably not, i think it has a serpentine plugin available for it though
[08:55] <matti__> how does wine really work? Can it run one program or does it work like a virtual windows that runs the software?
[08:56] <PKdoR> ziv: and then there is Vbox, but I'v never personally used that one I go with VMware/VMPlayer
[08:56] <ajisin> can anyone tell me what is 'firefox32'          ?
[08:56] <ziv> pkdor: it's k

[08:56] <SamFrancisco> mnk3ym4n: I could reinstall, or install 7.04 from CD but it keeps wanting to create a new partition.  Can't I just use the old partition and install over 6.10 ?
[08:56] <gert> good evening everyone

[09:14] <Sijmes_> just doesnt get mounted on my desktop anymore
[09:14] <heydabop> Sorry I can't be more specific, but I remember seeing this Linux distro that had really cool graphics. Such as transprency, window motion etc.
[09:14] <stefg> Sijmes: ok, so the kernel got it. does sudo fdisk -l list the drive, and seeing a partition table?
[09:14] <heydabop> And there was a way to install it on Ubnutu.
[09:14] <heydabop> But I forgot what it was called.

[09:15] <FFighter> Hey guys, my GTK feels so slow, Gnome in general feels slow and I've got a relatively good machine... what could I do to improve its speed??
[09:15] <Sijmes_> 1 min
[09:15] <Jaomi> stefg : /dev/foo: No such file or directory? Why? :S
[09:15] <heydabop> Ok.
[09:15] <heydabop> Thanks pici
[09:15] <genii> heydabop: They may know in channel #ubuntu-effects
[09:15] <heydabop> ok
[09:15] <stefg> Jaomi: /foo is the traditional generic name for : you need to adapt this to your own situation :-) Lol
[09:15] <Poomla> Could anyone answer some questions for me about installing Ubuntu?
[09:15] <rabiddachshund> I've got a white screen of death. :(
[09:15] <Poomla> My installation is stalling out.
[09:15] <LjL> white?
[09:16] <Jaomi> stefg Ahh xP
[09:16] <stefg> Jaomi: so sudo hdparm /dev/sda
[09:16] <rabiddachshund> yes. I can log in and everything appears to work, but all it shows is my cursor and a white screen
[09:16] <stefg> Jaomi: so sudo hdparm -tT /dev/sda
[09:16] <Sijmes_> yes its there also ..
[09:16] <rabiddachshund> I think Xorg is broken.
[09:16] <Sijmes_> where will it get mounted ...?
[09:17] <stefg> Sijmes: it will get mounted ina dir in /media. this depends on wether the filesystem on disk has a label. Either the label is used, or some generic /media/disk
[09:18] <Sijmes_> i lokked in media and its not there
[09:18] <Sijmes_> tried dev and mnt also
[09:18] <Jaomi> Do you think i can activate special desktop effects? I have an Dell Latitude D510 with 1,4Ghz Celeron M, 512MB RAM, Intel GMA 900
[09:18] <FFighter> I'm having problems with wallpapers and the extended desktop of twin view. On windows the wallpaper got renderized again in the other monitor... but on gnome it will stretch to the other monitor... and there's hardly any wallpaper which is 3000 + pixels wide
[09:18] <thibaud> Nobody has an idea where the command is written that tells my system to unmount sda6 althought the device isn't present
[09:18] <keito_> how would I setup ubuntu to automount a reiserfs partition with write privleges every time????
[09:18] <GuHhH> hi. im trying to  remove libapache2-mod-php5, and it says its not install. the i try to install it, and it says its already installed. help!!!
[09:19] <FFighter> any ideas?
[09:19] <hmhowie> FFighter: can't you configure it so that it'll repeat the wall paper rather than stretching it?
[09:19] <mohnkern> did you try dpkg --purge ?
[09:19] <rabiddachshund> when I try to run X, it says the server is already active for display 0. If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
[09:19] <stefg> Sijmes: try 'sudo mkdir /media/disk && sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/disk'
[09:19] <Jaomi> FFighter, make a wallpaper which is 3000 pixels wide in Gimp? =)
[09:19] <sileni1> hello
[09:20] <Jaomi> Hi
[09:20] <Sijmes_> thanx i`ll try that
[09:20] <mohnkern> did your remove /tmp/.X0-lock?
[09:20] <sileni1> what version of ubuntu are you guys using?
[09:20] <Jaomi> Hmm.. 7.09 i think? :S
[09:20] <rabiddachshund> I don't know how. do I just delete it?
[09:21] <mohnkern> type rm /tmp/.X0-lock
[09:21] <sileni1> jaomi, wow
[09:21] <FFighter> hmhowie, I will try ... however, I only want it repeated on the second monitor and also stretch itself to the second monitor if necessary
[09:21] <sileni1> you are from the future!
[09:21] <FFighter> Jaomi. lol, I will keep this in mind
[09:21] <mohnkern> You might need to do an sudo rm /tmp/.X0.lock
[09:21] <JohnnyKokosh> ssijcie paki !!
[09:21] <Jaomi> sileni1 I might be wrong xD
[09:21] <JohnnyKokosh> yeah..
[09:21] <Killamurk07> can anyone help me with cedega?? please
[09:22] <martii> JohnnyKokosh: suck yours ;)
[09:22] <JohnnyKokosh> :PP
[09:22] <stefg> !cedega
[09:22] <ubotu> cedega is a project based on WINE, aimed at running Windows games on Linux. For more info, see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cedega

[09:22] <UW> hello all, what might be the reason if evolution starts on itself on ubuntu, that is, without any user action?
[09:22] <UW> if the computer is left without any interaction for some time, evolution even starts multiple times
[09:23] <sileni1> do you guys think latest kernel has support for broadcom cards?
[09:23] <eddiestone> hello, somebody knows if there will be possible to ship the next version of ubuntu (7.10)?
[09:23] <stefg> Killamurk07: you pay for your Cedega support, don't you? So you should rather ask TransGaming
[09:23] <eddiestone> *hello, somebody knows if it will be possible to ship the next version of ubuntu (7.10)?
[09:23] <FFighter> hmhowie, Does Xinerama solve this issue?
[09:23] <dgjones> !shipit | eddiestone
[09:23] <ubotu> eddiestone: shipit is a service that sends free Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Edubuntu CDs. See http://shipit.ubuntu.com/ and http://shipit.kubuntu.org and http://shipit.edubuntu.org - Shipit will send Feisty (7.04) CDs
[09:23] <Killamurk07> when it say how to install what the ..is this sudo dpkg -i cedega_[version] .deb   a command line or something??
[09:24] <eddiestone> dgjones, it doesn't help
[09:24] <dgjones> eddiestone, shipit will no doubt send 7.10 cd's once its released
[09:24] <rabiddachshund> I removed it but it still won't work.
[09:24] <Gothfunc> hi.  i can't write to my samba share on ubuntu server 7.04, and there are no errors on the server.  the error on the client (XP) is "Unable to create folder 'New Folder'.  Access is denied".  chown and chmod are fine.  any ideas why?
[09:24] <keito_> how would I setup ubuntu to automount a reiserfs partition with write privleges every time????
[09:24] <mohnkern> rabidd -- Giving you the same error?
[09:24] <wolfsong> where do I go to create a custom keyboard shortcut? it looks like you can only do specified things under Keyboard Shortcuts

[09:24] <rabiddachshund> yes
[09:24] <mohnkern> type ls -al /tmp/.X* and see if anything comes up.
[09:25] <mohnkern> also, have you tried ctrl-alt-backspace?
[09:25] <eddiestone> before the release of the 6.10 version, it was possible to ship it
[09:25] <rabiddachshund> something showed up
[09:25] <Killamurk07> umm what is this?? sudo dpkg -i cedega_[version] .deb
[09:25] <hmhowie> FFighter: i'm afraid i've never had a two monitor setup, and i don't know much about the problems people can have with them
[09:25] <eddiestone> that's because I am asking
[09:25] <mohnkern> rabbid -- what showed up?
[09:25] <hmhowie> Jaomi: try and see
[09:25] <FFighter> hmhowie, ok, thanks anyway!
[09:26] <betatest20> q: I try to use "preload" and installed it via synaptic. but when my system shuts down in the part where the daemons get kill it says something like: ending preload: not running. how do I see if it is running at all?

[09:30] <RedF1sh> fevel, ok, adjunta work kinda like visual studio with projects and such, and uses gcc in the back, its usualy not that problematic.
[09:30] <mohnkern> rabidd -- are you running ubuntu, or kubuntu?

[09:31] <leladia> pls how do i rename a file?
[09:31] <MasterCheese> leladia: mv file newfile
[09:31] <rabiddachshund> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3136 2007-04-10 16:41
[09:32] <magnetron> leladia: righ click the file and choose "rename"
[09:32] <Jaomi> leladia Press F2
[09:32] <rabiddachshund> and then in green it says /etc/init.d/gdm
[09:32] <mohnkern> rabidd type cd /etc/init.d
[09:33] <mohnkern> rabidd then type .sudo ./gdm restart
[09:33] <rabiddachshund> no such file or directory
[09:33] <leladia> i don't want to move the file... i just want to rename it from the shell prompt
[09:33] <fevel> cant find adjunta on synaptic
[09:33] <rabiddachshund> /:(
[09:33] <rausb0> leladia: mv oldname newname
[09:33] <MasterCheese> leladia: Moving it to a new filename will do the same thing
[09:33] <mohnkern> rabidd -- If you don't have gdm installed on your machine, It doesn't sound like you've got a complete Ubuntu installation.  Was this working efore?
[09:33] <rabiddachshund> yes.
[09:34] <leladia> what happens to the old file?
[09:34] <mohnkern> Did you try a reboot?
[09:34] <rabiddachshund> it worked until I enabled Beryl as the window manager
[09:34] <Annuminas> hi @ all
[09:34] <MasterCheese> leladia: It's no longer there, you're just left with the file with the new name
[09:34] <rabiddachshund> yes. Everything works but all I see is the cursor and a white screen
[09:34] <mohnkern> aaah.  Try rebooting, and then clicking on optons, and selecting gdm as your window manager and logging in.
[09:34] <aguitel> i have laptop and the tochpad does not working ,how i fix it?
[09:35] <rabiddachshund> gdm = gnome?
[09:35] <Annuminas> hey ppl my gnome needs a lot of time to load...and it's so since i installed my apache2-server...whats up with my system? someone advice?
[09:35] <mohnkern> rabidd  -- yes
[09:35] <rabiddachshund> same
[09:35] <benkong2> yo
[09:36] <leladia> thanks guys
[09:36] <mohnkern> rabidd --- type sudo apt-get install gdm
[09:36] <keito_> !reiserfs
[09:36] <ubotu> reiserfs is a journalling file system, in benchmarks it outperforms many others on I/O operations, but they take notoriously long to mount.
[09:36] <Jaomi> Also, is there any good FM radio listening program? Like Screamer Radio on Windows : )
[09:36] <keito_> !automount
[09:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about automount - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[09:37] <benkong2> how can I diagnose a problem with burning a cd/dvd. All of a sudden when I try to burn a cd/dvd I get there was a problem writing to the media. Works fine in other distros.
[09:37] <rabiddachshund> hm. I tried again. I tried to log into failsafe gnome. I saw the top and bottom taskbars and the background for less than a second but now I have the white screen again
[09:37] <benkong2> I am using gnome
[09:37] <mohnkern> rabidd -- I would try reinstalling gdm with sudo apt-get install gdm.  If that doesn't work, try sudo apt-get remove gdm; sudo apt-get install gdm
[09:37] <mc44> Jaomi: maybe gnomeradio
[09:38] <Annuminas> white screen points to a problem in xorg.conf
[09:38] <rabiddachshund> ok. I have to reboot
[09:38] <mohnkern> ok.
[09:38] <gnomefreak> Annuminas: white screen with beryl/compiz == ati issue iirc
[09:38] <rabiddachshund> Annuminas: I looked at the xorg.conf but I couldn't see anything wrong. I ran the autodetect script again and that didn't work either
[09:38] <neighbors> I'm trying to add public keys from the remote repository with this command: wget -q http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty-security/Release.gpg -O- | apt-key add -
[09:39] <genii> gnomefreak: Also no decorations
[09:39] <mnk3ym4n> rausb0: thanks again.
[09:39] <mnk3ym4n> off all thanks!
[09:39] <neighbors> am I doing something wrong?  I get this response: gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
[09:39] <gnomefreak> genii: same bug afaik
[09:39] <Annuminas> need.help......my system is damn slow on boot with gnome since apache2 installation...advice?
[09:39] <mc44> neighbors: you shouldn't need to add the keys for official repositories
[09:39] <rabiddachshund> crap. Reboot gives a white screen on the login screen now.
[09:39] <mohnkern> Annu --- rabidd doesn't have a /etc/init.d/gdm file.  That isn't particularly good.
[09:39] <neighbors> mc44: when I have been getting the last few packages it has said it couldn't check it...
[09:39] <gnomefreak> genii: if you join #ubuntu-effects they have seen the isssue many times and there is a working fix for it
[09:40] <mc44> neighbors: probably an issue with a cache somewhere between you and the archive
[09:40] <neighbors> it says this: gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found
[09:40] <neighbors> when I apt-get certain things
[09:40] <Bllz> Hey guys, what's the best music manager for use with an ipod ... keeping in mind that I've tried Amarok and can't stand it...
[09:40] <mohnkern> rabidd -- Alt-F1 or Alt-F2 should bring up a login screen.
[09:41] <gnomefreak> neighbors: you shouldnt hav eto add the key as it is already added by default
[09:41] <`davo> uh.
[09:41] <gnomefreak> neighbors: change your mirror
[09:41] <mc44> Bllz: gtkpod?
[09:41] <genii> gnomefreak: It happened also on my Nvidia 7600, so i know it's not ATI-specific :)
[09:41] <`davo> how do I uninstall gaim?
[09:41] <mc44> `davo: sudo apt-get remove gaim
[09:41] <Jaomi> Add/Remove, search for Gaim and press the square and press apply :)
[09:41] <Bllz> mc44, i'd rather have something that manages, playes, etc... an itunes alternate if you will
[09:41] <martii> `davo: sudo apt-get remove gaim-data ---purge
[09:41] <Jaomi> I think.
[09:41] <chrisjs169> how can I make my second hard drive world writable?
[09:41] <jcsackett> davo, gaim is needed for nautilus to do its send to stuff.
[09:41] <gnomefreak> genii: i dont remember the exact card/cards or fix off hand but the composite wiki should have it listed
[09:41] <mc44> Bllz: oh, but not amarok? You're on gnome?
[09:41] <Annuminas> chris -- is it ntfs?
[09:41] <`davo> here I am doing it the hard way
[09:42] <gnomefreak> genii: topic in #ubuntu-effects
[09:42] <gnomefreak> there you will find link
[09:42] <jcsackett> i'm not sure you can easily remove gaim via the add/remove--gaim is used by nautilus.
[09:42] <rabiddachshund> sudo apt-get install gdm --> gdm is already the newest version
[09:42] <mikkk> hi i'm setting up an ubuntu server, i had done the installation with the onboard nic enabled and i just went to disable it, fired it back up, and now ubuntu can't pull dhcp, any ideas?
[09:42] <Bllz> mc44 yeah i'm on gnome.  and i've tried amarok, and couldn't stand it...
[09:42] <Iain> Hi all, is this where the training class is being held tomorrow?
[09:42] <Bllz> is banshee a good call?
[09:42] <mohnkern> rabidd -- Try an deinstall and reinstall
[09:42] <bluefox83> why would gaim be used by nautilus?
[09:43] <mc44> Bllz: banshee or or exaile or rhythmbox
[09:43] <mohnkern> rrabidd -- of gdm.
[09:43] <Bllz> exaile?  never heard of that.  I'll check it out
[09:43] <jcsackett> if you try to remove it nautilus throws a warning that gaim's file sending stuff is used by nautilus to move files.
[09:43] <mc44> Bllz: it's similar to amarok but gnomey
[09:43] <rabiddachshund> reinstalling now
[09:43] <bluefox83> O.o
[09:43] <jcsackett> (i.e. over a network/to another user).
[09:43] <Bllz> mc44, nevermind then lol
[09:43] <rabiddachshund> thanks, btw
[09:43] <jcsackett> i got it yesterday when i tried to remove it.
[09:43] <Bllz> i'll probably check out banshee
[09:43] <Bllz> alright. thanks
[09:43] <Annuminas> BLLZ -- try rhythmbox =)
[09:43] <mohnkern> IF that doesn't work, you can try sudo dpkg --purge gdm and then reinstalling.
[09:44] <Bllz> Annuminas -- lol okay. i'll check htat out too
[09:44] <jcsackett> believe me bluefox, i was as surprised as you appear to be.
[09:44] <bluefox83> i removed gaim fine O.o
[09:44] <bluefox83> i use pidgin, maybe that's why
[09:44] <Bllz> i just wish banshee/rhythmbox had more eyecandy ... lol
[09:45] <jcsackett> ...could be. could also be a version diff.
[09:45] <Gothfunc> why would i encounter an 'out of space' error after copying 70mb to a samba share with nearly 200gb free?
[09:45] <Annuminas> bllz -- eyecandy is for doze-users ;)
[09:45] <rabiddachshund> ?
[09:45] <jcsackett> yeah, not really important. :-P
[09:45] <mohnkern> Yes rabidd?
[09:45] <rabiddachshund> changes will take effect when all current X sessions have ended
[09:45] <rabiddachshund> reboot?
[09:45] <test1234> hi?
[09:45] <Iain> hey all, is the trainng course held here tomorrow?
[09:45] <Jaomi> Hi!
[09:46] <Annuminas> hey
[09:46] <bluefox83> Gothfunc, you might want to ask in the samba channel, they know more about that than we would
[09:46] <mc44> Iain: which training course? :)
[09:46] <test1234> is this here the ubuntu channgel ?
[09:46] <test1234> xD
[09:46] <rabiddachshund> also, "invoke-rc.d: initscript gdm, action "reload" failed."
[09:46] <Annuminas> training course?
[09:46] <Gothfunc> bluefox83: thanks, already did
[09:46] <mc44> test1234: yes

[09:47] <mohnkern> rabidd type cd /etc/init.d
[09:47] <combinio> i want to ask how to install AIGLX ? :)
[09:47] <test1234> but i cant becasue      he cant find the x-server
[09:47] <chrisjs169> how can I make my second hard drive world writable?
[09:47] <mohnkern> then type sudo ./x11-common restart
[09:47] <rabiddachshund> /etc/init.d/X11-common: command not found
[09:47] <Gothfunc> Ray_at_UW: what are you using it for?
[09:47] <Annuminas> test1234 -- post the error-message
[09:47] <`davo> wtf.
[09:48] <mc44> Iain: I expect it will be in #ubuntu-training or #ubuntu-meeting
[09:48] <`davo> pidgin is telling me I Need libxml2
[09:48] <test1234> ok
[09:48] <rabiddachshund> also not found
[09:48] <`davo> apt-get says I already have it
[09:48] <`davo> wtf
[09:48] <mohnkern> type sudo apt-get install x11-common
[09:48] <nanonyme> chrisjs169, doesn't sound like a good idea but if you want to proceed with it, tell a bit about the partitioning and file systems
[09:48] <dgjones> Iain, or maybe #ubuntu-classroom?
[09:48] <Iain> "HI all,
[09:48] <mc44> `davo: it may need a later version
[09:48] <Iain> Just a quick reminder of the meeting on 20 September at 15:00 UTC on
[09:48] <rabiddachshund> X11 or x11?
[09:48] <Iain> ubuntu-training @ irc.freenode"
[09:48] <mohnkern> lowercase
[09:48] <`davo> I tried to upgrade it
[09:48] <`davo> it says it's the latest version
[09:48] <mc44> Iain: #ubuntu-training then :)
[09:48] <Iain> thats the mail
[09:48] <Iain> i have never used irc before
[09:48] <Ray_at_UW> Goth: I want to copy out specific lines of some logs for editing and viewing. So I want the convenience of a mouse cursor that "vi" doesn't give me.
[09:48] <rabiddachshund> already the newest version
[09:49] <mc44> Iain: type /j #ubuntu-training
[09:49] <Iain> so not sure how to navigate about
[09:49] <chrisjs169> nanonyme, well, by world writable, i mean writable by users other than root - it's a sata drive, 1 partition, formatted as ext3
[09:49] <Gothfunc> Ray_at_UW: gedit?
[09:49] <mohnkern> Type sudo apt-get remove x11-common;apt-get install x11-common
[09:49] <mohnkern> sudo apt-get install x11-common
[09:49] <combinio> how to install AIGLX under ATI (feisty) ??
[09:49] <combinio> is there any guide ?
[09:49] <Ray_at_UW> Goth: I think that works. :) Danke.
[09:49] <nanonyme> chrisjs169, chmod -R a+w on the folder where it is mounted
[09:49] <Annuminas> combine -- wow....that will be a thought exercise
[09:49] <mc44> combinio: aiglx doesn't work with newer ati cards
[09:49] <Puaff> please, I'm running gutsy and I get a core dump with every apt-get upgrade, doesn't matter the package to upgrade. Maybe the problem is that the cache is broken, is it possible to rebuild it? thx
[09:50] <nanonyme> chrisjs169, but it still isn't a good idea
[09:50] <not_benh> hello all... I am an ex-straight-debian user. so far the only thing that I'm really missing is the ability to track testing. is there a way to track a rolling Ubuntu distro?
[09:50] <mc44> Puaff: #ubuntu+1 for gutsy support please
[09:50] <Iain> magic, thanks :)
[09:50] <chrisjs169> nanonyme, what would make it not a good idea?
[09:50] <rabiddachshund> removing gnome-session...
[09:50] <vinu> no way
[09:50] <combinio> mc44: this is NOT newer card - it is Radeon 9600 ;P
[09:50] <mc44> not_benh: there is not rolling release
[09:50] <Puaff> mc44, ok, thx
[09:50] <Gothfunc> Ray_at_UW: there's an option to display line numbers too if that's relevant
[09:50] <Annuminas> combine -- think its to new at all
[09:50] <mc44> combinio: are you using the "ati" driver?
[09:51] <vinu> no plaz
[09:51] <nanonyme> chrisjs169, well, usually you give privileges based on purpose. create groups for appropriate users, give rights to user groups
[09:51] <mohnkern> rabidd after the x11-common has been reinstalled type sudo apt-get install gnome.
[09:51] <vinu> yes
[09:51] <combinio> mc44: "radeon" driver
[09:51] <jcsackett> what repository is pidgin in?
[09:51] <mc44> combinio: which version of ubuntu are you running?
[09:51] <combinio> mc44: there WAS written fglrx but changed that
[09:51] <Annuminas> jcsackett -- universe as i know
[09:51] <combinio> mc44: ubuntu 7.04
[09:51] <nanonyme> chrisjs169, world writable can be considered a security risk
[09:51] <not_benh> mc44: is that something that Ubuntu has decided that is not going to happen? with things like deb-testing and arch out there it seems that theres some what of a desire for a rolling distro. Not by default I'll grant you.
[09:52] <mc44> not_benh: nope, there is the development version and the stable version, thats it
[09:52] <mc44> not_benh: unlikely to change
[09:52] <rabiddachshund> does kde use xorg/
[09:52] <rabiddachshund> ?
[09:52] <Jaomi> Is there any CAD program for Ubuntu? =)
[09:52] <mc44> combinio: does the radeon driver still exist? I thought it was ati now
[09:52] <mohnkern> rabidd-- Kde, Gnome, and Beryl all use an xmanager, xorg is the one that's commonly use.
[09:52] <jcsackett> weird. i've got universe added but can't find the pidgin package.
[09:52] <sileni> ow
[09:52] <combinio> mc44: here is my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37941/ | and i thought it is WHATEVER u type there ;P
[09:52] <P-K> Is there a tool that will monitor the files system? The are files and folder that go missing one of my server. I susspect it's other admins on the server but I can't prove it. Is there are tool that will monitor and report when files are deleted?
[09:52] <chrisjs169> nanonyme, I see your point, but the second drive is being used mostly for storing Music/Videos, and I'm the only user on this computer, so would it make a difference if I were to create a new group for it?
[09:52] <test1234> ok i wana install ubuntu v. 7.04 on my laptop but then it pop a error message:     Failed to start the X server (your graphical interface) It is likely that it is not set up correctly. would you like to view the x server output to diagnose the problem?
[09:53] <combinio> mc44: so i decided to type RADEON driver ;P
[09:53] <combinio> mc44: but change on ATI ;P
[09:53] <mc44> combinio: try "ati" then
[09:53] <Annuminas> test1234 -- what kind of graphik device do you use?
[09:53] <sileni> test1234, i had the same problem too!
[09:53] <amadeus> I am looking for a "Just Works(TM)" distro that includes flash, java, dvd and mp3 codecs, proprietary drivers such as nvidia, software such as virtualbox etc. So far I am looking at Freespire and Linux Mint. Do you guys have experience with these? Are there alternatives?
[09:53] <combinio> mc44: ok, restart xy
[09:53] <test1234> ATI  x2600
[09:53] <Annuminas> test1234 -- ATI....ouch....thats not good...
[09:53] <mohnkern> amadeus -- Ubuntu Studio has most of those built in, I believe.
[09:53] <test1234> oO
[09:53] <test1234> :>
[09:54] <sileni> im using nvidia is that good ?
[09:54] <not_benh> mc44: k thanks for the info.
[09:54] <jcsackett> amadeus -- you can alwasy use easyubuntu to get everything set up.
[09:54] <Annuminas> test1234 -- ok... do you have acces to your terminal?
[09:54] <nanonyme> chrisjs169, hmm, it's more like a remote hacking issue. you could always use the ready group 'audio' or create a new one
[09:54] <KlrSpz> hey guys, what do ya'll use to search your computer for files and such? (using xubuntu)
[09:54] <test1234> acces for what?
[09:54] <nanonyme> chrisjs169, you probably are in group 'audio' anyway considering you can play sound
[09:54] <`davo> argh wtf.
[09:54] <sileni> test1234, he means like @
[09:55] <sileni> test1234, like you know blahblah@root and such so you can use commands
[09:55] <test1234> yes i see the screen
[09:55] <greenmanspirit> does anyone know how to get gnomes dictionary to work when you are not connected to the internet?
[09:55] <test1234> yes
[09:55] <genii> jcsackett: You can find a deb file for it at http://www.getdeb.net/app.php?name=Pidgin   botom has for feisty 64 or 32 bit download. To install it use: sudo dpkg -i <debnamehere>
[09:55] <test1234> yes
[09:55] <jcsackett> thanks genii.
[09:55] <mc44> genii: or you know, double click on the package. We have the technology! :)
[09:55] <genii> jcsackett: np
[09:56] <Annuminas> test1234 -- try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[09:56] <test1234> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ <blank>
[09:56] <genii> mc44: Didn't know it was ported now :)
[09:56] <gautada> greenmanspirit, You can setup your own dict server running locally
[09:56] <rabiddachshund> gnome is quite large.
[09:56] <amadeus> is virtualbox in the standard ubuntu repo?
[09:56] <mohnkern> rabidd -- yes, yes it is.
[09:56] <greenmanspirit> gautada: how do i do that?
[09:56] <vinu> yes
[09:56] <vinu> dgdg
[09:56] <boubbin> is it possible to "boot" ubuntu with "/" not mounted ?
[09:56] <test1234> ok got it
[09:56] <vinu> cf
[09:57] <boubbin> is it possible to "boot" ubuntu with "/" not mounted ? so ican resizes the partition
[09:57] <jcsackett> and we have our answer...pidgin not available for ppc...
[09:57] <boubbin> :)
[09:57] <genii> mc44: Sorry, you mean  the deb LOL (I need CAFFEINE!)
[09:57] <vinu> tell me
[09:57] <mc44> boubbin: resize from the live CD
[09:57] <mc44> genii: :D
[09:57] <LordDragonSlayer> hey i am trying to open a .run file saved to my desktop what do i open it with
[09:57] <boubbin> mc44 right
[09:57] <Annuminas> test1234 -- Answer the questions you can. if there are questions you cant answer proceed with given default
[09:57] <LordDragonSlayer> the defualt was set to wine for asome reason
[09:57] <Jaomi> Can i ask where you live? Or will i get kicked from the IRC for going offTopic? ;)
[09:57] <mohnkern> rabidd -- if this doesn't work you can try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org  (In case I have to leave)
[09:57] <test1234> ok
[09:57] <genii> mc44: Thx!
[09:57] <Annuminas> test1234 -- try specifi VESA
[09:57] <mc44> Jaomi: try #ubuntu-offtopic :))
[09:57] <rabiddachshund> I tried that already
[09:58] <test1234> there is also listed a ati treiber
[09:58] <genii> boubbin: It's possible to mount a DIFFERENT / but a / of some kind must always be mounted.
[09:58] <jhaig> Does anyone know where I can get information about which PDAs can be synced with Ubuntu?
[09:58] <test1234> should i test this one or specific vesa
[09:58] <genii> boubbin: Simplest way is to use the livecd
[09:58] <LordDragonSlayer> hey i am trying to open a .run file saved to my desktop what do i open it with. when i try to double click it it trys to open it with wine
[09:58] <boubbin> genii yeah
[09:59] <Annuminas> test1234 -- ir doesnt matter what vesa it just sould fit you screen resolution
[09:59] <`davo> jesus christ this is ridiculous
[09:59] <test1234> ok so i try vesa
[09:59] <VSpike> How workable is it to have / and /root and /boot on an LVM partition
[09:59] <rabiddachshund> I hope the battery doesn't die on the laptop.
[09:59] <Annuminas> test1234 -- frequency will usually be adjusted automaticly
[10:00] <LordDragonSlayer>  hey i am trying to open a .run file saved to my desktop what do i open it with. when i try to double click it it trys to open it with wine. can someone help me?
[10:00] <mc44> LordDragonSlayer: what are you trying to install?
[10:00] <mohnkern> rabidd -- Can you plug it in?
[10:00] <rabiddachshund> the screen went black. ??
[10:00] <Annuminas> LORD -- change to the correct folder and type ./filename.run
[10:01] <Annuminas> lord -- it may be that you need root permissions
[10:01] <rabiddachshund> no. I don't have the charger. It's still got flashing lights though
[10:01] <LordDragonSlayer> mc44, the file name is et-linux-2.60.x86.run
[10:02] <LordDragonSlayer> annuminas, there is no real correct folder
[10:02] <rabiddachshund> and it died. :(
[10:02] <mc44> LordDragonSlayer: try "sudo sh et-linux-2.60.x86.run"
[10:02] <mohnkern> Try a reboot.
[10:02] <mc44> LordDragonSlayer: after going to the right directory in the terminal
[10:03] <rabiddachshund> no, it's completely dead.
[10:03] <LordDragonSlayer> what do you mean
[10:03] <rabiddachshund> D:
[10:03] <test1234> ok
[10:03] <mohnkern> That's just really weird.
[10:03] <test1234> now im done
[10:03] <rabiddachshund> do you think I need to uninstall gnome again?
[10:03] <LordDragonSlayer> mc44, what do you mean
[10:03] <mc44> LordDragonSlayer: ok open a terminal
[10:03] <rabiddachshund> or did it finish?
[10:03] <test1234> and now i have the   ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ <blank>  again
[10:03] <Annuminas> LORD -- open an terminal and cd to the folder where the file is. usually /home/username/Desktop/. then type ./et-linux-2.60.x86.run
[10:03] <mohnkern> I'd uninstall gnome and the xserver and reinstall both of them.
[10:04] <mohnkern> Imight even go as far as doing a dpkg --purge  on each of them to remove settings.
[10:04] <mc44> LordDragonSlayer: then type "cd ~/Desktop" without the quotes
[10:04] <Phoochka> Gaurav Ghosh
[10:05] <rabiddachshund> I think I'm just going to reinstall it.
[10:05] <mohnkern> Certainly worth a try.
[10:05] <rabiddachshund> I need to get a file off of it though. How would I do that?
[10:05] <fmac> does anyone has miro?
[10:05] <Gothfunc> i need to unmount my home partition while ubuntu server is running.  any ideas how?
[10:05] <fmac> it rocks, 100% recommended
[10:05] <rabiddachshund> I've got xp dual booted on it, so is it possible to install ntfs-3g and use it from a command line?
[10:05] <hwood> umount /home
[10:05] <Gothfunc> i only have ssh access
[10:06] <Gothfunc> it says device busy hwilde
[10:06] <mohnkern> rabid --- yes type sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
[10:06] <mc44> LordDragonSlayer: you done that?
[10:06] <Gothfunc> *hwood
[10:06] <test1234> Annuminas, ok iam done and now i have the   ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ <blank>  again
[10:06] <Annuminas> GOTH -- thy umount -l .....bla......... -l means lazy -- particular info in man mount.
[10:06] <LordDragonSlayer> mc44, yes it says command not found
[10:06] <Gothfunc> Annuminas: cheers
[10:06] <mc44> LordDragonSlayer: what did you type in?
[10:06] <rabiddachshund> If I remember right, you have to check an option in the gui in order to allow write capability
[10:06] <LordDragonSlayer> after geting to the desktop
[10:07] <LordDragonSlayer> then i typed /et-linux-2.60.x86.run
[10:07] <mc44> LordDragonSlayer: "sudo sh et-linux-2.60.x86.run"
[10:07] <neighbors> how do I figure out what package installs a specific file?
[10:07] <hwood> Gothfunc: you may have to kill all apps using /home try using `lsof | grep "/home"` to find them.
[10:07] <Annuminas> LORD -- dont forget the "." in front of the foldername
[10:07] <panosru> Hirvinen, is there any configuration on Evolution... i have a problem, when someone sends me an attachment with .txt file with Greek  characters i can't read Greek properly because .txt file seems to be... don't know how to say... encrypted? the problem is that i can't see greek characters i can see only characters like this: K   
[10:07] <robban> Hi, has anybody been able to get  the microphone working on a hda-intel card?
[10:07] <neighbors> I want to know what installs curses.h seems like it would be libncurses5 but that doesn't work :/
[10:07] <mohnkern> You can make the ntfs writable by editing /etc/fstab
[10:07] <Gothfunc> hwood: Annuminas' solution worked
[10:07] <rabiddachshund> actually, I don't think I'll worry about ntfs. I should be able to copy it to a jump drive. Thanks for your help.
[10:08] <magnetron> panosru: probably the email is malformed
[10:08] <LordDragonSlayer> ok its working now
[10:08] <LordDragonSlayer> ty both
[10:08] <mohnkern> rabidd -- Sorry I couldn't be more help, it looked like there was stuff just plain missing.
[10:08] <Annuminas> lord -- iz ok
[10:08] <magnetron> panosru: your friend got a crappy email client
[10:08] <rabiddachshund> yeah. It's wierd because it worked perfectly until I enabled the (already installed) beryl
[10:08] <panosru> magnetron, he has Gmail :/
[10:08] <mohnkern> rabidd -- and I have beryl running on a machine no problem.
[10:09] <rabiddachshund> I have it running on this machine no problem
[10:09] <Annuminas> rabidd -- whats your problem?
[10:09] <test1234> noo
[10:09] <rabiddachshund> beryl broke xorg
[10:09] <test1234> what should i do after that?
[10:09] <Annuminas> rabidd -- problems with periphirals or just with screen?
[10:10] <rabiddachshund> screen. Everything worked correctly, but all I could see was the white screen and the cursor
[10:10] <Gothfunc> hmmm... ok, my home partition reads on df -h as 99M, the partition reads on parted and fdisk as 200GB.  why is it only showing 99M on df?
[10:10] <Gothfunc> i can also only access 99M
[10:10] <vinu> 56
[10:11] <test1234> how can i come back to the "normal" installation ?
[10:11] <Annuminas> goth -- because df is counting bytes in a different way ;)
[10:11] <SpudDogg> CRAP!!  I tried to install gutsy to a SATA hard drive hoping grub would take care of my mbr issues for me, and now i get "Error 21", and grub doesn't even show the menu...I cannot boot from my HDDs at all.  PLEASE HELP!
[10:11] <Annuminas> test1234 -- whats the matteR?
[10:11] <test1234> Annuminas, ok iam done and now i have the   ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ <blank>  again
[10:11] <Gothfunc> Annuminas: what do you mean?
[10:11] <test1234> but how can i get back
[10:11] <kane77> how can I fix my system? (something like you do in windows when you reinstall without losing installed programs & settings)
[10:11] <LordDragonSlayer> back again there i go to start upp wolfinstien et and the screen goes black it closes and i am left with nothing just ooking for an explanation probably my graphics card or somthing if it is im using a ati radeon xpress 200
[10:12] <test1234> or start the installataion or something :>
[10:12] <Annuminas> test1234 -- try "startx"

I am new to linux, I have tried to search on google how to have 4 different wallpapers on the 4 desktops which I have with beryl.

[10:12] <test1234> Fatal server error
[10:12] <Gothfunc> Annuminas: you did see me write "df -h" not just "df" right?

[10:14] <hwood> Does anybody have any ideas why my treo 700 connects for sixty seconds and then disconnects?
[10:15] <Gothfunc> Annuminas: ok, but the point is i get an out of space error when i go over 99m, when there is in fact 200gb of space there

[10:31] <hwood> amio, you can delete all your .gnome* and .nautal* files out of your home directory, then restart x (ctrl+alt+backspace).
[10:31] <Gothfunc> test1234: you're probably not getting many responses to your pleas because you're not describing a problem.  without specifying a problem, no one can solve it can they?  detail what you did, what happens, error messages etc.

[10:32] <amio> test 1234 if you did and did not work try this sudo apt-get install -f -y x-window-*
[10:33] <Evanlec>  I want to convert AVI to DVD, what app should I use?
[10:33] <whonicca> hwood, still a no go
[10:33] <whonicca> why would it just randomly disappear, i havent installed or messed with any config files
[10:33] <hwood> whonicca is /dev/sdb there?
[10:34] <test1234> @ amio ok and now?
[10:34] <amio> hwood thank you very much it worked out just by three clicks. really linux needs a try
[10:34] <amio> test 1234 what you still can not get anything?

[10:35] <test1234> @ amio i typed      sudo apt-get install -f -y x-window-*     and now what now?
[10:35] <DigeratiX> I seemed to have messed up dansgaurdian and a few other apps, how do I TOTALLY remove and start over without any type of scraggly stuff left over that a fresh install may pick up on? Is it 'apt-get --purge appname'or 'apt-get remove' then 'apt-get clean' ??
[10:35] <culprit> !glxcompgmgr
[10:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about glxcompgmgr - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[10:36] <amio> it should start downloading package then installing them?
[10:36] <scarpia> r irc.esper.net
[10:36] <mc44> DigeratiX: --purge should do it
[10:36] <amio> are you seeing it works on the terminal? or it said something like error? or command not found?
[10:36] <test1234> yes hes done
[10:36] <marx2k_> I need to figure out a way of making a menu to pop up BEFORE X loads on boot to insert different xorg.conf's depending on what computer Im putting it into in school
[10:36] <amio> test 1234: can I know please what you have? burned a cd with text installation? got cd from ubuntu by post? burned live cd with installation?
[10:36] <test1234> it tooks 1 sek but    it didnt fix anything
[10:37] <ompaul> DigeratiX, apt-get remove --purge foo /./. note that if any of the aps are desktop they most likely have directories in home directories, and a gotcha is that if the app is being removed and it leaves stuff in place it should warn so use sudo updated and locate for the app name after the "purge"
[10:37] <amio> test 1234 and what version you have? 7.4?
[10:37] <test1234> yes
[10:37] <hwood> whonicca: it looks like it is there just not mounted. did you try mounting it agian?
[10:37] <whonicca> no
[10:37] <whonicca> i did try rebooting
[10:37] <whonicca> thinking that would take care of it but it did not
[10:37] <hwood> whonicca, it it
[10:37] <amio> test 1234 but first answer me for my question more up
[10:37] <whonicca> hwood, ? it it ?
[10:38] <hwood> whonicca: ... 's not in the /etc/fstab then it will not mount on boot.

[10:40] <rocunreal> bash: NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-100.14.19-pkg2.run: command not found
[10:40] <marx2k_> whonicca: thats what I do, but whats your proble,?
[10:40] <test1234> sorry i am like a linux noob
[10:40] <vroom> hey dudes who uses LAMIP here?
[10:40] <marx2k_> rocunreal:  try ./<command>
[10:40] <mc44> rocunreal: why are you using drivers from nvidia?
[10:40] <hwood> whonicca, you need an intery: /dev/sda1 /mnt/ntfs ntfs rw,user 0 0
[10:41] <whonicca> marx2k_, my sdb1 drive is not loading
[10:41] <mc44> rocunreal: did you try the Restricted Driver Manager?
[10:41] <rocunreal> mc44, no i haven't
[10:41] <rocunreal> but i need these specif drivers
[10:41] <hwood> whonicca: before you do that test with `mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/ntfs`
[10:41] <mc44> rocunreal: why?
[10:41] <marx2k_> whonicca: I'd give literal device names
[10:41] <test1234> how can i check this /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?
[10:41] <marx2k_> does anyone know what the advantage of UUID is?
[10:41] <rocunreal> bash: /NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-100.14.19-pkg2.run: No such file or directory

[10:42] <rocunreal> o
[10:42] <rocunreal> sorry
[10:42] <rocunreal> let me try that
[10:42] <marx2k_> no problem
[10:42] <flake> rocunreal - I tried the nvidia drivers too but found the ones in synaptic are best to use for stability
[10:42] <|Lunar_Lamp|> Hmm, I'm sure I can remember some kind of wysiwyg latex editor in ubuntu repo's - anyone remember the name of it? A search doesn't seem to be revealing it to me.
[10:42] <rocunreal> bash: ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-100.14.19-pkg2.run: No such file or directory
[10:42] <CaptainFrisbee> |Lucky|, Lyx ?
[10:42] <rocunreal> I need proformance
[10:42] <marx2k_> the problem with the drivers from NVidia seems to be you need to reinstall them every time you rebppt
[10:43] <mc44> rocunreal: using the restricted manager is much easier, and its the same driver...
[10:43] <marx2k_> rocunreal: "sudo sh ./<filename>"
[10:43] <rocunreal> i lost my Driver information and had to restore to some VGA or something in Xserver with no GUI
[10:43] <Stormx2> marx2k_: Bad advice.
[10:43] <|Lucky|> CaptainFrisbee what?
[10:43] <marx2k_> Stormx2: Im just giving him an answer to his question
[10:43] <marx2k_> and Im pretty sure the NVidia installer needs to be run as root
[10:43] <Stormx2> marx2k_: Indeed you are, but you're not helping him fix the problem.
[10:44] <CaptainFrisbee> |Lucky|, sorry I wanted to answer |Lunar_Lamp|
[10:44] <amio> test 1234 I have sent you private message you got it?
[10:44] <marx2k_> his problem is he wants to install the installer
[10:44] <|Lucky|> CaptainFrisbee no problem ;) bad scripts ^^
[10:44] <yell0w> hwood, so that ar-161 drivers would work similarly for am-900 ?

[10:44] <CaptainFrisbee> |Lunar_Lamp|, is Lyx the app you're looking for?

[10:44] <Stormx2> rocunreal: What ubuntu version are you using?
[10:45] <defrysk> ubalavieveble
[10:45] <rocunreal> ive tried with no Quotes
[10:45] <|Lunar_Lamp|> CaptainFrisbee, kile and lyx seem to be possibly the ones I'm after - yes. :-)
[10:45] <marx2k_> test1234: does it give any other errors? try "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE"
[10:45] <rocunreal> 64bit latest version of Ubuntu
[10:45] <dgjones> rocunreal, the benefit of using the driver from synaptic is that if there's a kernel update, you won't have problems restarting your x server next time your computer restarts
[10:45] <hwood> yell0w: it's as close as your going to get. If it does not work am afraid you may be out of luck until sharp starts writing opensource drivers.
[10:45] <orb> Hey I'm trying to setup the graphics drivers for my 8800 and every time I enable the binary drivers in the restricted drivers manager and restart, when I restart it can't initialize X and just gives me a command prompt.  Does anyone know how to fix this WITHOUT using Envy?
[10:45] <yell0w> hwood, ok thanks
[10:45] <marx2k_> hell, I have to reinstall the NVidia driver from NVidia even if there IS no kernel update... it happens on the subsequent reboot
[10:45] <Stormx2> rocunreal: You can use the restricted manager to install binary X drivers. System > Administration > Restricted Drivers Manager. That's the recommended method.
[10:45] <rocunreal> ive used a Driver from Synpatic and it gave me problems  :(
[10:46] <Stormx2> rocunreal: Oh, really? What problems?
[10:46] <rocunreal> I had to get my GUI back without an GUI
[10:46] <rocunreal> took me 20min
[10:46] <marx2k_> rocunreal: You dont really need to 'install' anything, just active the restricted video driver
[10:46] <marx2k_> activate
[10:46] <mc44> orb: feisty doesn't have the driver which supports the 8800 so you have to use envy or install from nvidia yourself
[10:46] <test1234> no there is no other erros
[10:46] <rocunreal> the Drivers i used to synatic screwed my drivers up and my nvidia ones i have right now aren't working they screw me up
[10:46] <Stormx2> rocunreal: Did you use the restricted drivers manager?
[10:47] <test1234> there are no other errors
[10:47] <rocunreal> yea if i did that it would turn on the bad drivers
[10:47] <rocunreal> i got the bad drivers from synatic
[10:47] <orb> mc44: Ugh on the ubuntu website it says the 8800 GTX is supported :\  I used Envy before and it fucked my box up so bad i had to reformat
[10:47] <marx2k_> test1234: can you pastebin your Xorg.0.log?
[10:47] <Stormx2> rocunreal: Could you give me your card model, please?
[10:47] <Taco> Woah
[10:47] <rocunreal> okay
[10:47] <MongooseWA> how would i go about patching my kernel with a -ck patch?

[10:48] <rocunreal> I am not a computer newbie too i built this comp from the ground up but i am no linux pro dats for sure
[10:48] <Stormx2> rocunreal: I know for a fact that is supported under restricted drivers manager. My friend has the exact same card
[10:48] <orb> sry about the language, hopefully you would know how ridiculously frustrating it is when using ap rogram messes you up beyond repair so you have to reformat
[10:48] <test1234> but the problem is that the  messages are on another pc
[10:48] <orb> mc44: so what WOULD you recommend?
[10:48] <marx2k_> test1234: Ohhhh
[10:48] <ompaul> orb, follow the documentation on the website
[10:49] <orb> ompaul: I did, it says to enable the binary drivers, which doesn't work
[10:49] <rocunreal> Storm2, but i installed drivers via the Synatic thing and that changed those drivers to something else
[10:49] <Taco> Hmmm, hey guys heres an question, my moniter supports 75 frames a second but it only goes up to 55, anyway to override it to 75?
[10:49] <ompaul> orb, there is a manual 8800 install on the site
[10:49] <marx2k_> test1234: at what point in the liveCD does it crap oit:
[10:49] <marx2k_> out
[10:49] <test1234> i cant type here the compleat    /var/log/Xorg.0.log     more then 300 lines -.-
[10:49] <orb> ompaul: oh really?  Where?  Can you give me a link please?
[10:49] <amio> I installed all the x-* packages and all x-window-* packages then all x-window-system-* packages then xserver-* packages and xserver-*-* packages
[10:49] <amio>  so make like this and I hope it will work out some how
[10:49] <amio>  sudo apt-get install -f -y x-*
[10:49] <amio>  then after it finishes make all these one by one
[10:49] <amio>  sudo apt-get install -f -y x-window-*
[10:49] <amio>  sudo apt-get install -f -y x-window-system-*
[10:49] <amio>  sudo apt-get install -f -y xserver-*
[10:49] <amio>  sudo apt-get install -f -y xserver-*-*
[10:49] <amio>  sudo apt-get install -f -y xserver
[10:49] <amio>  then after all restart should start with graphics if also not type sudo apt-get install gdm

[10:50] <Stormx2> rocunreal: The restricted drivers manager does a bit of extra work. Backup your xorg.conf and then if something goes wrong, just restore it.
[10:50] <rocunreal> Stormx2, something does go wrong
[10:50] <neocid> Hi all, When I set an update by synaptique of my wholes packages, it downloads then crash maybe 30 secondes laters. The window stay in gray and inclickable. Is onyone can help me ?
[10:50] <gnomefreak> not a good idea to use -y and why are you using -f that is to fix a broken package not force and you nomrally cant use force with -y
[10:50] <orb> ompaul: oh really?  Where?  Can you give me a link please?
[10:50] <rocunreal> Stormx2, something does go wrong when i put tried to turn on 3D Effects
[10:50] <Taco> Ok, thanks guys let me give that a try right now.
[10:50] <amio> I wrote something on private to him he did not got so I paste it here
[10:51] <rocunreal> Stormx2, it wanted me to restart my pc and i lost my GUI
[10:51] <ompaul> amio, -f and -y is silly - you will install conflicting packages
[10:51] <mc44> orb: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual
[10:51] <Jowi> neocid, do you get any error if you use apt-get instead?
[10:51] <ompaul> amio, it is a bot
[10:51] <rocunreal> Stormx2, so im just guessing if i click check on that box it will enable the same drivers the OS wanted me to enable when i clicked on my 3D effects stuff
[10:51] <ompaul> orb, as per mc44
[10:51] <orb> mc44 and ompaul: thanks, I guess I'll follow that then
[10:51] <amio> ompul anyway he had trouble which I had myself and I made this and it worked out well
[10:51] <Stormx2> rocunreal: Well, what are you trying to do otherwise?
[10:52] <marx2k_> rocunreal: check your xorg.conf for:
[10:52] <marx2k_>         Option  "VideoOverlay" "on"
[10:52] <rocunreal> Stormx2, and the Reason i want newer drivers is because my comp wasn't working good at all with the 3D effects and i got a power house PC
[10:52] <neocid> jowi , no I don't get any erreurs
[10:52] <marx2k_> Option  "OpenGLOverlay" "off"
[10:52] <amio> and he doesnt know many in linux as I see so he needs more easy way to run that ubuntu with graphics
[10:52] <jpastore> oin #crossover
[10:52] <jpastore> sorry
[10:52] <Stormx2> rocunreal: Your running that script would have enabled the exact same drivers. You either leave your current drivers alone, or install the binary drivers the easy way, or the hard way
[10:52] <mc44> orb: or use gutsy, but thats still alpha :)
[10:52] <orb> mc44: what's gutsy?
[10:52] <amio> test 1234 I am going did you see what I have written to you or not?
[10:52] <ompaul> !gutsy | orb
[10:52] <ubotu> orb: 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
[10:53] <orb> mc44: does gutsy support the 8800?
[10:53] <koer> how can i specify how much RAM my videocard has ?
[10:53] <rocunreal> Stormx2, you think i should revert to the updated drivers that give me no GUI?
[10:53] <hwood> I get this: http://pastebin.com/m6e32d681 when I plugin my treo has some run into this before?
[10:53] <amio> any one helps me with some messenger works with voice on linux and can also run on windows?
[10:53] <marx2k_> koer: "lspci -v "
[10:53] <cosmodad> wasn't there some tool to ease new service creation?
[10:53] <test1234> ok now i installed all the packeges
[10:53] <mrga_cro> nobody here don't use sopcast
[10:53] <test1234> now now?
[10:54] <orb> mc44: does gutsy natively support the 8800?
[10:54] <rocunreal> Stormx2, when i tried to turn on Desktop effects it wanted to enable my nvidia drivers
[10:54] <amio> or even making voice call from any normal messenger on ubuntu on google talk?
[10:54] <rsl> anyone here using gutsy and compiz' shift switcher?
[10:54] <Jowi> neocid, when you upgrade with apt-get. no errors. ok. and if you start synaptic from the terminal "gksudo synaptic" and do the upgrade, do you get any errors in the terminal?
[10:54] <Geeunkown> anyone know how or what I need in order to get firefox to play videos extensions ..
[10:54] <test1234> now i have    ubuntu@ubuntu: ~$
[10:54] <mc44> orb: it has 100.14.11
[10:54] <rocunreal> Stormx2, so i thought ok then i restarted my PC and no GUI
[10:54] <orb> mc44: what's that?
[10:54] <marx2k_> test1234: huh?
[10:54] <hwood> lsusb will display the treo as pluged in for the 60 secondes /var/log/messages says it's there, then it's gone.
[10:54] <marx2k_> test1234: "startx"
[10:54] <amio> test 1234 did you get my private message?
[10:54] <rocunreal> Stormx2, are you telling me that retricted drivers manger will turn on different drivers?
[10:54] <Ademan>  how might a gnome user set the current qt theme? other than by creating a .qtrc(if avoidable)
[10:55] <koer> how can i boost my fps in a videogame , tehy are too low ( geforce 7800)
[10:55] <Stormx2> rocunreal: They all install the same drivers. Backup your xorg.conf and try it. If you don't want to, then don't. If you want 3D, the best way to do it is with Restricted Drivers Manager
[10:55] <koer> 2-10 fps :(
[10:55] <mc44> orb: yeah, its the latest nvidia driver
[10:55] <Stormx2> rocunreal: cya
[10:55] <Ademan> koer: what game? there are million different reasons it could be happening, and 3 million more if you're using wine
[10:55] <cosmodad> can anyone tell me what the package/tool is to help with creating new system services?
[10:56] <magnetron> koer: try running the Restricted drivers manager
[10:56] <koer> heheh
[10:56] <amio> can I know? what messenger works with voice on ubuntu? lets say google talk or yahoo ? how to make the calling works?

[10:56] <rocunreal> Stormx2, i will try bu but my xorg,conf have already been altered
[10:56] <koer> eve online
[10:56] <orb> mc44: oh okay so if I upgrade to Gutsy I should be fine and just use the restricted drivers manager to install the drivers?  Are there any current issues with Gutsy that are major?  Does Gutsy support Beryl and those things?
[10:56] <koer> running in wine :P
[10:56] <Ademan> koer: have you installed the driver for your card?
[10:56] <koer> yep
[10:56] <marx2k_> test1234: what are the last few lines in Xorg.0.log?
[10:56] <Ademan> koer: can you make a paste at http://www.rafb.net/paste of the output of glxinfo ?
[10:57] <magnetron> orb: the gutsy beta will be released in 2 weeks, the final gutsy will be released in a month
[10:57] <mc44> orb: it's still alpha and so may well break, but the beta is out soon. beryl no longer exists but it has compiz

[10:57] <Black_Cat> hello, i'm having troubles with Wine - incorrect fonts are displayed in settings windows etc. for example, it's all okay with IE, menus and engine are fine until i get to "Internet Options", only squares instead of letters. the locale is russian, so maybe it's codepage... can this be fixed?
[10:57] <amio> any one knows whats wrong with WINE? I can not install google talk on it, when I install it and try to login says error try again

[10:57] <hwood> amio, why are you using windows google talk... get gaim it will save your live.
[10:58] <marx2k_> NET||abuse: what kind of videocard?

[10:58] <marx2k_> oooh Intel
[10:58] <marx2k_> beats me :(
[10:58] <Jowi> koer, if you use compiz/beryl you can try to switch to metacity as a window manager and then disable composite in xorg.conf. restart xorg and login to use "basic" gnome. I have trouble with 3d accelerated wine games when I use composite in xorg.conf...
[10:58] <Alarictric> can anybody help me out with ALSA with usb speakers?
[10:58] <NET||abuse> marx2k, so yeh, intel 915GM express yada yada :P

[10:58] <Black_Cat> Ademan, i'll keep that in mind, thank you
[10:58] <magnetron> orb:  you can run it.... bet it's not done yet, may wreck your system. use feisty 7.04 for now, it will upgrade when gutsy is released

[10:59] <NET||abuse> my system is still calling it gaim??
[10:59] <nubby> hey. i'm helping my friend with a new install and the slider for an automatic resize of an ntfs partition is not there. what's the best app to use that will let me do this manually without griping about his windows being ntfs?
[10:59] <frie0377> can you use apt-get if you are not root to install stuff localy?
[10:59] <hwood> lol
[10:59] <marx2k_> nubby: gparted?
[11:00] <magnetron> orb: when gutsy is released on October 18, get it via bittorrent. it's the fastest
[11:00] <marx2k_> frie0377: you mean without sudo?
[11:00] <avsevfan> i love ubuntu, but it looks usgly as hell. kubuntu looks cool, but its too buggy
[11:00] <frie0377> yes
[11:00] <magnetron> orb: there will be an official torrent on ubuntu.com
[11:00] <hwood> nubby, gparted is the bomb but you must defrag the drive in windows first. It will safe you alot of pills.
[11:00] <orb> magnetron: okay, where will the .torrent be located?  Will it be a boot cd or something i exec in feisty?
[11:00] <koer> in the beryl menu ?
[11:00] <orb> magnetron okay
[11:00] <nubby> in gparted it shows the drive as locked and i can't resize it. what must i do to get it to let me?

[11:01] <Jowi> avsevfan, you have about one gazillion window managers to chose from :)
[11:01] <rocunreal> i just need to Restart
[11:01] <baastrup> #ubuntu+1
[11:01] <frie0377> marx2k_: yes
[11:01] <magnetron> orb: it will be a boot cd ( get the ubuntu desktop cd)
[11:01] <nubby> do i have to unmount the partition before i can resize it?
[11:01] <hwood> nubby: ... also don't forget to unmount the ntfs partition before you run gparted.
[11:01] <magnetron> heh
[11:01] <nubby> hwood: ok, thanks. that's all i needed
[11:01] <orb> magnetron: okay thanks for all your help, I can't wait for october 18th ;D
[11:01] <marx2k_> frie: Im not sure that you can, though again... Im not sure :)
[11:01] <avsevfan> how do i write to another hard drive in ubuntu, it always says its read only, and i cant change that, even as root.
[11:02] <koer> ah okay
[11:02] <koer> but i will remove my beryl effects
[11:02] <NET||abuse> avsevfan, if it's a mounted usb disk or some such, it maybe down to the drive being ntfs?
[11:02] <NET||abuse> avsevfan, in which case you need the 3g ntfs driver.
[11:02] <test1234> ok the last lines are:         (II) VESA(0): Total Memory: 256 64KB banks (16384kb)            (EE) VESA(0): No matching modes      (II) UnloadModule: "vesa"   (II) UnloadModule: "ddc"  (II) UnloadModule: "vm86"    (II) Unloading /usr/lib/xorg/modules//libvm86.so   (II) UnloadModule: "int10"    (II) UnloadModule: "vbe"   (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration    Fatal server error: no screens found

[11:09] <test1234> :] 
[11:10] <amio> test 1234 you see what I am writting?
[11:10] <marx2k_> CTRL-ALT-F9 brings me to a black screen
[11:10] <cosmodad> what's the replacement for update-rc.d since upstart got into Ubuntu?
[11:10] <carl> ok I'm installing package file
[11:10] <test1234> no what did you write
[11:10] <carl> how do I install this virtual machines
[11:10] <amio> I think I have sent you a private message with all what you need to do did you get that?
[11:10] <marx2k_> I was unaware you can have >1 session of X running at 1 time?
[11:10] <test1234> no : /
[11:11] <amio> check up on the chat bar
[11:11] <marx2k_> test1234: I am afraid I cant help you
[11:11] <ki4cgp> marx2k_ yes, it does if you aren't running 2 desktops at the same time.  You'll have to switch users into a new desktop, and then you can switch over between F7 and F9
[11:11] <amio> you will see something from me
[11:11] <Strangelv> more than one X session at a time?? how??
[11:11] <amio> test1234 you see it?
[11:11] <marx2k_> man, I totally didnt know you could have more than one session at one time
[11:11] <Black_Cat> carl, have you ever dealt with this, perhaps on other OSes like win32?
[11:11] <test1234> no it isnt there :/
[11:11] <carl> no I never have
[11:11] <Ashbringer> hello, would anyone be able to point me in the right direction or help me edit my startup scripts to launch vidalia with TOR? It seems difficult, because vidalia is a GUI app, but TOR is started before there's a GDM session.
[11:11] <marx2k_> Strangelv: Im guessing because you CAN :)
[11:12] <marx2k_> I need to learn perl...for real
[11:12] <Annuminas_> test1234 -- whats your status?
[11:12] <Strangelv> marx2k_: that might be a good enough reason, but once upon a time I had something specific in mind
[11:12] <test1234> dont work
[11:12] <test1234> : /
[11:12] <marx2k_> I think my life would be easier if I knew perl scripting or bash scripting
[11:12] <ki4cgp> Its in gnome, just click like you are going to shut down, and you should get the option to switch users
[11:12] <wise_> hey there... A quick question... while using gaim in ubuntu (feisty) with a fresh install, i'm having serious intermittant connection issued while using MSN Messenger.
[11:12] <wise_> stays online for about two minutes, disconnects, reconnects, repeats
[11:12] <amio> test1234 any way look I sent you again did you see?
[11:12] <Annuminas_> test1234 -- nice status....in particular?
[11:12] <marx2k_> ki4cgp: I figured that would just log me out of my session and log me into another session
[11:12] <test1234> the status of me -->   once i kick the laptop out of the window
[11:13] <Annuminas_> test1234 -- ok.... do you have a live cd?
[11:13] <test1234> nope
[11:13] <ki4cgp> Hey, I have a USB device that shows up in my lsusb list on my session of X, but when I CTRL+ALT+F9 over to my wife's session that is running at the same time, I can't see the device with lsusb.  I probably missed a setting somewhere in gnome.  Any ideas?
[11:13] <test1234> its a install only cd
[11:13] <Strangelv> marx2k_: does writing a script in another language to crank out a mess of bash commands into a plain text file and ther running it as 'bash filename' count?
[11:13] <Emperor886> Can someone help me with Macromedia Flash Player? I can't watch videos on YouTube. =/
[11:13] <Black_Cat> carl, it's not that easy anywayz, at least with virtualbox. all you have to do is: get a proper .deb, install it, accept a license, allow kernel module to be compiled, add yourself to vboxusers group, reboot, create a new VM and set it up. quite easy, right? :)
[11:13] <ki4cgp> marx2k_  It will log you into another session but doesn't log you out of the first
[11:13] <Annuminas_> test1234 -- do you get a gui after starting installation?
[11:13] <NET||abuse> So anyone got a clue as to how i can get clone output to the VGA port on my laptop's intel 915GM card?
[11:14] <test1234> no
[11:14] <marx2k_> Strangelv: works for me :)
[11:14] <amio> test1234 listen to me this what I will write might make others laugh I also dont have good knowledge in linux but tried it and it worked out well I had your trouble exactly same so do these commands install one by one then restart after all are done
[11:14] <carl> yeah that does sound quiet easy
[11:14] <Strangelv> marx2k_: wasn't exactly tidy, but it met my immediate, urgent task so I could go on to something else
[11:14] <bingodeville> Emperor886: try sudo apt-get install flash-nonfree
[11:14] <test1234> i start the installation
[11:14] <Black_Cat> Emperor886, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[11:14] <marx2k_> I just want to throw some if-then-else decision statements too
[11:14] <test1234> and after some   [OK]  messanges
[11:14] <test1234> it gave me this error
[11:14] <amio> test1234 are you ready?

[11:15] <dzb> http://www.motorola.com/content.jsp?globalObjectId=8411
[11:15] <marx2k_> ichat: whats your question?
[11:15] <Black_Cat> Emperor886, have you enabled multiverse/universe repository?
[11:15] <carl> ok
[11:15] <ki4cgp> marx2k_  Yep.  That is the only way my wife will log into my computer.  I don't trust her in windows
[11:15] <test1234> the last ok message is     Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)    [OK]

[11:16] <FFighter> Is there a shortcut key to show desktop function ?
[11:16] <lorenzo_> hello, someone know how to connect to mysql in command line please
[11:16] <marx2k_> riaal: what advantages does screening give you?
[11:16] <Annuminas_> test1234 -- download the installation cd from http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/releases.ubuntu.com/feisty/ubuntu-7.04-desktop-i386.iso and try to install from that one
[11:16] <Black_Cat> Emperor886, hold on pls
[11:17] <Emperor886> Black_Cat: Np.
[11:17] <marx2k_> ichat: mainly setting up ubuntu on a laptop is the same as on a desktop
[11:17] <rocunreal> Can anyone help me? i need to get my Nvidia Video Card Drivers installed but even my Resticted Driver manger has screwed up driver can anyone help me? it all started when i tried to update my drivers via the Systamic thingy but i choosed bad drivers their i guess :( can anyone help me with that?

[11:17] <ki4cgp> marx2k_, you can also lock your screen, taking you to a screensaver, and if you set the option, allow either your password to unlock the screensaver or allow someone else to log in (switch to a new user)
[11:17] <wcham> How can I get fusion-icon in gutsy?
[11:17] <ichat> ive been investigating network manager - but it seems to not support either ralink or broadcom chipts...  -
[11:17] <test1234> but this one dont want to run with linx ;/
[11:17] <marx2k_> riaal: is that a text based client?

[11:18] <lorenzo_> hello, someone know how to connect to mysql in command line please
[11:18] <riaal> marx2k, yes, it is
[11:18] <Black_Cat> carl, you might try installing macosx86 as a guest operation system, but if i'm right you'll never have full-scale Apple on intel-chip, even on emulated on. the other way is searching for virtual apple machines.
[11:18] <Annuminas_> lorenzo -- install mysql-admin package
[11:18] <amio> try this I did all then I got it working with graphics
[11:18] <test1234> yes Nvidea 6600

[11:23] <riaal> Can I use "screen" to see aplications already running when I login remotely with ssh?
[11:23] <marx2k_> rocun: "sudo aptitude install nvidia-settings"
[11:24] <wise_> Hirosaki, xubuntu is great for older systems
[11:24] <amio> #winehelq
[11:24] <Annuminas_> wise_ -- oh that can be right....nvidea drivers change every day so its pretty hard to keep pace with all the problems
[11:24] <rausb0> riaal: only when those apps were started in a screen session earlier
[11:24] <amio> what is the wine room please?
[11:24] <rocunreal> amio #winehq

[11:26] <CapaH> Does anyone know if its possible for one program to open up a connection -- and another program to then send data through the connection that program A opened up? For example, I am connected to this IRC server through this client, is there a way for me to send data through that same connection without opening up a new program to do it? To cause two programs to use the same connection?
[11:26] <marx2k_> rocunreal: Oh, all that is is a program that lets you visuall set up some stuff in xorg.conf and for your videocard
[11:26] <rocunreal> marx2k, its updating stuff and downloading
[11:26] <wise_> pidgin is niccccee
[11:27] <Annuminas_> test1234 -- you can choose an server installation.... as i know it is without gui =)
[11:27] <rocunreal> marx2k, o ^^
[11:27] <rocunreal> marx2k, thought it was drivers
[11:27] <ki4cgp> marx2k_, you can also lock your screen, taking you to a screensaver, and if you set the option, allow either your password to unlock the screensaver or allow someone else to log in (switch to a new user)
[11:27] <marx2k_> rocunreal: nope!
[11:27] <ki4cgp> whoops
[11:27] <marx2k_> rocunreal:  but it might help you more
[11:27] <marx2k_> ki4cgp: heheheh
[11:27] <rocunreal> marx2k, its saids its removing nvidia-glx
[11:28] <Black_Cat> Emperor886, okay let's get back to you if you don't mind. what distribution are u using?
[11:28] <marx2k_> rocunreal: what? that program shouldnt have anything to do with your actual drivers!
[11:28] <ki4cgp> Hey, I have a USB device that shows up in my lsusb list on my session of X, but when I CTRL+ALT+F9 over to my wife's session that is running at the same time, I can't see the device with lsusb.  I probably missed a setting somewhere in gnome.  Any ideas?
[11:28] <Annuminas_> test1234 -- at least you will have a working terminal....then you can try to install an xserver with the newest ati drivers and so on
[11:28] <rocunreal> marx2k, i did install funny drivers for my card in Systnpic thinggy
[11:28] <medfly> how do i mount a dvd?
[11:28] <sixpence> ki4cgp: Usb has nothing to do with xorg
[11:28] <rocunreal> marx2k, yea but i screwed up my drivers
[11:28] <Emperor886> Black_Cat: Feisty Fawn.
[11:28] <marx2k_> rocunreal: maybe thats why... if I were you, Id just follow the guide to get compiz working on nvidia
[11:28] <rocunreal> marx2k, i installed some weird drivers in synapic that screwed me over :(
[11:29] <josiahw> what is a good program for listening to internet radio?
[11:29] <Annuminas_> medfly -- is a dvd not also an --type iso9660 medium?

[11:31] <Black_Cat> Emperor886,  and set all of the 5 checkboxes in first tab ('ubuntu software'). close the window and fetch updates.
[11:31] <Sonicadvance1> a question, I have some files with really long file names, is there a way to shorten them, without renaming them, pretty much so it doesn't show the entire filename and an Icon doesn't take up the entire desktop?
[11:31] <nickrud> Bulazeem: is that an ntfs volume
[11:31] <marx2k_> Bulazeem: check your /etc/fstab and make sure it's mounted in rw mode
[11:31] <josiahw> d4rkmonkey:

[11:31] <Bulazeem> i think so.  should i reformat it?
[11:31] <I_N_E_E_D_H_E_L_> what should i do to figure out y the gui won't load?
[11:31] <Emperor886> Black_Cat: Done.
[11:32] <rocunreal> marx2k, will that restore my drivers?
[11:32] <nickrud> Bulazeem: no, you can use ntfs-3g to write to ntfs
[11:32] <josiahw> d4rkmonkey: thank you very much... do you know if more can be added? or if there is a list of them out there somewhere?
[11:32] <panosru> how can i change the sound of log in (not after log in but there where asks the username/password) ?
[11:32] <marx2k_> rocunreal: yeah copy/paste those two lines, when it's done, reboot and see if it works
[11:32] <nickrud> !ntfs-3g | Bulazeem
[11:32] <ubotu> Bulazeem: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[11:32] <marx2k_> rocunreal: it should yeah
[11:32] <I_N_E_E_D_H_E_L_> what should i do to figure out y the gui won't load?
[11:32] <Black_Cat> Emperor886, updates are fetched?
[11:32] <d4rkmonkey> josiahw I'm not sure, there probably is... but I don't know how. Sorry
[11:32] <rocunreal> marx2k, sweet
[11:32] <Bulazeem> thanks guys.  :)
[11:32] <marx2k_> but make sure to do that second line
[11:32] <Annuminas_> medfly -- if nothing you tried worked try making an iso (google for the terminal command, should be something with "dd") and mount it with "sudo mount --type iso9660 -o loop /"path to iso" /"path to existing mountpoint" ;)
[11:32] <Emperor886> Black_Cat: They are installing now.
[11:32] <josiahw> d4rkmonkey: ok well thank you for the help
[11:32] <josiahw> thank you guys
[11:33] <Emperor886> Black_Cat: Half way done.
[11:33] <rocunreal> marx2k, ok im gonna restart thanks for the help man
[11:33] <josiahw> oh one more question.... what is a good personal accounting program?
[11:33] <medfly> Annuminas_, ill try, thanks
[11:33] <Annuminas_> josiahw -- try PLANNER ;)
[11:33] <nickrud> I_N_E_E_D_H_E_L_: there's a lot of possible reasons, first though, did you get a blue screen telling you to look at a file for errors?
[11:33] <josiahw> Annuminas_: ty
[11:34] <Black_Cat> Emperor886, ok. and after that you might try the command you typed before ( sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree ) or search for the package in synaptic itself. i think you'll need to log out and back in for settings to apply.
[11:34] <nickrud> josiahw: gnucash works well enough
[11:34] <Annuminas_> np =)
[11:35] <riaal> rausb0, I'm getting: there is a screen on 3454.pts-server  when using -r how do I reatach it? some flag and the first number? (sorry for not readning the manpage, it is huge :) =
[11:35] <marx2k_> riaal: do you have a good tutorial for screening?
[11:35] <bill__> screen -r 3454
[11:36] <riaal> bill__, tested that one, don't work =/
[11:36] <medfly> Annuminas_, uhm, shouldnt the CD come in somewhere/
[11:36] <rausb0> riaal: if the session is still attached somewhere, you need screen -rd
[11:36] <riaal> MatBoy, not really
[11:36] <Annuminas_> medfly -- what do you mean with "come in somewhere"?
[11:36] <riaal> rausb0, oh, thanks!
[11:37] <rausb0> riaal: so you "steal" the session from the terminal where it was attached to
[11:37] <medfly> Annuminas_, oh never mind, i get what you mean now
[11:37] <Annuminas_> medfly -- oh ok than... ;)
[11:37] <riaal> rausb0, I understand, works perfectly! Thanks a lot!
[11:38] <rob-> whats the difference between debian and ubuntu for use as a server, sweet F-all ?
[11:38] <Annuminas_> bye people.... gotta go now ;) gn8 greets from ger =)
[11:38] <Annuminas_> cya@all
[11:38] <rausb0> riaal: screen -x is even cooler, it shares the session on two or more terminals
[11:38] <nooga> yeah!
[11:38] <marx2k_> I still dont see the advantage to screen
[11:38] <nooga> screen -x, using at the moment
[11:39] <riaal> rausb0, cool, so both the server and the remote can se them at the same time?
[11:39] <rausb0> marx2k_: very handy when running the same text apps from different locations
[11:39] <Emperor886> Black_Cat: flashplugin-nonfree cannot be found. =/
[11:39] <rausb0> riaal: yes
[11:39] <nooga> marx2k_: it's simple, whenyou use shell account, you can use mltiple irc sessions and write some code paralelly
[11:39] <riaal> rausb0, awesome, thanks again
[11:39] <marx2k_> rausb0: so basically youre just getting INTO your login session remotely?
[11:39] <Black_Cat> Emperor886, let me check....
[11:40] <Emperor886> Okay.
[11:40] <nooga> that's right
[11:40] <rausb0> marx2k_: screen is also good for unstable ssh connections
[11:40] <marx2k_> I see... I can see where that would be useful, yes
[11:40] <jez999> Ubuntu was connecting to a WinXP machine that had internet connection sharing enabled a few hours ago, via DHCP, just fine.  Now it's stopped working and the icon says 'no network connection' - what could be the problem?
[11:40] <rausb0> marx2k_: if the ssh connection breaks, you get the text apps back after logging in again
[11:40] <I_N_E_E_D_H_E_L_> nickrud: i couldn't install ubuntu using the gui installer either.... but it says "failed to start the X server (your graphical interface). It is likely that it is not set up correctly. would you like to view the x server output to diagnose the problem?" when ubuntu tries to load the gui, then i get send to the command prompt thingy
[11:40] <marx2k_> jez: the ethernet wire fell out :)
[11:40] <marx2k_> rausb0: that'd be useful if I really used any text based apps
[11:41] <NemesisD> gnomebaker is making me nervous, i burned a dvd ISO and its just sitting there after burning and my dvd light is blinking
[11:41] <rausb0> marx2k_: yeah, screen is for terminal based apps only
[11:41] <marx2k_> NemesisD: its probably closing the session... how long has that been going on for?
[11:41] <rocunreal> marx2k_, didn't work :(
[11:41] <rausb0> marx2k_: (which i use frequently)
[11:41] <marx2k_> I should really get more into ncurses based apps
[11:41] <marx2k_> rocunreal: whats the error
[11:41] <Black_Cat> Emperor886, i don't see a reason why you can't download it directly :) http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/web/flashplugin-nonfree
[11:41] <rocunreal> marx2k_, had to revert to like VGA in Xserver i had no GUI
[11:42] <marx2k_> Whhaaaattt
[11:42] <marx2k_> rocunreal: you should pastebin your xorg.0,log
[11:42] <rocunreal> marx2k_, idk how to do that?
[11:42] <marx2k_> !pastebin

[11:42] <Emperor886> Black_Cat: Thanks. :)
[11:42] <Black_Cat> Emperor886, packages.ubuntu.com is quite useful for ubuntu software search. keep that in mind when you'll require a msttcorefonts package, it's recommended for fp-nf
[11:43] <rocunreal> marx2k_, isn't the main problem that i changed my Drivers tho under Systematic w/e its called
[11:43] <NemesisD> marx2k, after spinning up and burning for a while, its been sitting with this blinking light for id guess like 3 minutes
[11:43] <Emperor886> Black_Cat: Thanks. :D
[11:43] <marx2k_> rocunreal: shouldnt be... nvidia drivers should work fine
[11:43] <Black_Cat> both of them are downloaders, btw
[11:43] <marx2k_> NemesisD: does gnomebaker say its at 100%?
[11:43] <Bulazeem> nickrud: i got ntfs-3g installed and checked the boxes to enable writing and can still only open files but not write.  do i need to reboot?
[11:43] <rocunreal> marx2k_, im not sure if i even used Nvidia Drivers man
[11:44] <NemesisD> marx2k, also im having difficulty changing virtual desktops, and no it was at 0% the whole time but sounded like it was burning
[11:44] <rocunreal> marx2k_, i cant even remember the name of the driver
[11:44] <jez999> the 'wired connection' entry in my networking list just disappeared, why might this be?
[11:44] <jez999> the box is checked in the manual configuration
[11:44] <marx2k_> rocunreal: have you tried enabling the restricted drivers?
[11:44] <rocunreal> marx2k_, Yep same thing i got no GUI
[11:44] <marx2k_> jez999: try re-enabling it
[11:44] <jez999> di
[11:44] <jez999> did
[11:44] <jez999> the entry isnt appearing
[11:45] <ltar> whenever I restart, Gnome-panel initializes wrong. I have to killall gnome-panel or it dissapears when I change workspaces. After restarting gnome-panel, my desktop icons appear only on my 1st workspace. what's going on?
[11:45] <marx2k_> rocunreal: we really gotta see that xorg.0.log
[11:45] <rocunreal> marx2k_, i had to run the Xserver thing to get my GUI back
[11:45] <rocunreal> marx2k_, how come changing drivers on linux is so hard?
[11:45] <[nrx] > marx2k, rocunreali had the same issue with mine... when i enabled restricted drivers, x wouldn't shutdown properly.. i've disabled it again and now gnome doesn't run lol
[11:45] <marx2k_> rocunreal: it usually isnt :)
[11:45] <rocunreal> marx2k_, =(
[11:45] <marx2k_> rocun: Im thinking its something in xorg.conf
[11:45] <NemesisD> marx2k, am i safe in assuming this dvd is now a coaster
[11:45] <marx2k_> now try running nvidia-settings
[11:46] <marx2k_> NemesisD: Its STILL doing it?
[11:46] <rocunreal> marx2k_, ok
[11:46] <ltar> rocunreal: if it were easy, it wouldn't be linux. :P
[11:46] <[nrx] > lol
[11:46] <marx2k_> heh
[11:46] <NemesisD> marx2k, yes, i know when i burned stuff in nero id would blink until i hit okay or something to confirm it was done, but there is no such prompt in gnomebaker
[11:46] <marx2k_> Linux != Easy
[11:46] <marx2k_> NemesisD: so it's still at 0%?
[11:46] <Emperor886> Black_Cat: I downloaded it, but how do I install it? I'm not good wih the terminal. :(
[11:46] <rocunreal> ltear, if it was easy it wouldn't be Microsoft you mean ;)
[11:46] <NemesisD> marx2k, was like that the whole time, yes
[11:47] <rocunreal> marx2k_, man i get no options i just ran that
[11:47] <marx2k_> Yeah thats a little odd... how long has it been "burning" now?
[11:47] <marx2k_> rocunreal: no options
[11:47] <rocunreal> marx2k_, it gives me the exit command tho :(
[11:47] <marx2k_> ?
[11:47] <marx2k_> what?!
[11:47] <rocunreal> marx2k_, or i should say button
[11:47] <NemesisD> marx2k, id guess 10 mins
[11:47] <marx2k_> rocunreal: edit your xorg.conf and instead of "vga", put in "nv"
[11:47] <wise_> any linix distors being made for wii?
[11:47] <ltar> rocunreal: nono, linux is a pain in the ass. I've had nothing but trouble since I installed it. It's fortunate that I find that sort of thing fun.
[11:47] <rocunreal> marx2k_, only 2 buttons that window shows is   ( Help and Exit )
[11:47] <ltar> whenever I restart, Gnome-panel initializes wrong. I have to killall gnome-panel or it dissapears when I change workspaces. After restarting gnome-panel, my desktop icons appear only on my 1st workspace. what's going on?
[11:47] <Black_Cat> Emperor886, two ways. first: right-click in nautilus, or on desktop if you put it there, and use GDebi to process it for you. or: sudo dpkg -i package_name.deb
[11:48] <marx2k_> NemesisD: I dunno... id give it 20 minutes just to be sure
[11:48] <NemesisD> marx2k, its daring me to try to eject the dvd or kill the process
[11:48] <NemesisD> marx2k, ok
[11:48] <I_N_E_E_D_H_E_L_> HERE'S MY PROBLEM::::: i couldn't install ubuntu using the gui installer either.... but it says "failed to start the X server (your graphical interface).

[11:52] <rocunreal> drake, dont ask to ask just ask the question then they will answer trust me ;)
[11:52] <nickrud> I_N_E_E_D_H_E_L_: what video card you you have?
[11:52] <Emperor886> Black_Cat: I don't have this option. :(
[11:52] <drake> ok
[11:52] <marx2k_> nubby: You usually cant do it from linux from my experience... you need to boot into windows an initiate a checkdisk /f
[11:52] <jez999> what could be wrong?????  i have lost my wired network connection from the network list, and i can't connect to my WinXP box using DHCP!!!  I could a few hours ago, i don't know what's caused this!

[11:54] <NemesisD> ed1t, this may be useful reading http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_enable_the_fingerprint_reader
[11:54] <marx2k_> drake: I just use "compiz --replace" and thats it
[11:54] <marx2k_> rocun, yo
[11:54] <rocunreal> marx2k, idk how to open the org thing from the GUI it saids i dont have permission how do i gain permission while opening it from the Terminal?
[11:54] <drake> what
[11:55] <MooCow1> I'm trying to use sendmail to send mail.. via a php script, but it takes a good minute or so before it sends.  It will eventually send, but it takes forever.  Anyone know a solution?
[11:55] <Black_Cat> Emperor886, quite strange... try double-clicking it... where does it lead you to?
[11:55] <nickrud> I_N_E_E_D_H_E_L_: then do the following:   log into that terminal, type   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver xorg.  Choose the    nv   driver. When that's done, type   sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart   . That should get you the gui.
[11:55] <marx2k_> rocun: type into terminal "gedit /var/log/Xorg.0.log"
[11:55] <jez999> what could be wrong?????  i have lost my wired network connection from the network list, and i can't connect to my WinXP box using DHCP!!!  I could a few hours ago, i don't know what's caused this!
[11:55] <rocunreal> marx2k, your a hero man, thanks its open ill try an change that stuff you told me
[11:56] <Emperor886> Black_Cat: Archive Manager
[11:56] <marx2k_> rocunreal:  now that I think about it, the log wont have the errors since you successfully ran X this time. what I would suggest is "gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" and replace "vga" with "nv" (or you could do "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg"), then try to start X... if it doesnt start, make a backup of that error log, start X with the vga driver as you are doing now and post that log
[11:56] <marx2k_> sounds like a lot, but it's not :)
[11:57] <Blauhaut> How can i control my ipod ?
[11:57] <Black_Cat> Emperor886, and where did you put downloads? to your desktop?
[11:57] <Emperor886> Black_Cat: Yes.
[11:58] <Black_Cat> Emperor886, type in your terminal: cd /home/YourUserName/Desktop (put your username in path)
[11:58] <FFighter> Is there a way to share fonts between linux and a Windows XP VM ?
[11:58] <rocunreal> marx2k_, when you say nv you mean nvidia right?
[11:58] <ltar> Blauhaut: look up a program called songbird. it syncs with your ipod without blinking
[11:58] <FFighter> maybe using samba ?
[11:58] <drake>  compiz --replace /usr/bin/compiz.real (core) - Error: dlsym: /usr/lib/compiz/libccp.so: undefined symbol: getCompPluginInfo20070830 /usr/bin/compiz.real (core) - Error: Couldn't load plugin 'ccp' someone help me with this error
[11:58] <NemesisD> marx2k, is it time to kill this mother?
[11:59] <marx2k_> rocunreal: yeah but the driver is called "nv" ... here, I'll pastebin my xorg.conf for you
[11:59] <Black_Cat> and then: sudo dpkg -i exact_file_name_as_it_shows.deb
[11:59] <aj_> hi mates, is it possible to create a shortcut/hotkey for "show desktop" function? =)

[11:59] <rocunreal> For the X Window System graphical user interface to operate correctly,    
[11:59] <rocunreal>   it is necessary to select a video card driver for the X server.

[12:00] <marx2k_> Look in the "device" section
[12:00] <Black_Cat> Emperor, never paste anything longer than line here pls
[12:00] <Emperor> Soz.
[12:00] <FFighter> I suppose I couldn't point the windows fonts folder to a shared folder
[12:00] <[nrx] > 4 lines, isn't it?
[12:01] <Black_Cat> Emperor, and i never told you to download .tar.gz, we were talking about .deb files
[12:01] <Sonicadvance1> 5 lines
[12:01] <FFighter> dr_gonzo, but I could do the other way around (share the windows fonts folder and create a symlink to ubuntus font folder)
[12:01] <MooCow1> All: Too anyone that read my question earlier about the sendmail delay, it was because I had multiple computers on the network with the same hostname.  Very odd problem, but I simply changed my hostname with hostname MooCow, and sendmail is now instant.
[12:01] <rocunreal> marx2k_, i dont think i am going to be able to solve this problem man
[12:01] <Black_Cat> but that's rather my fault, Emperor
[12:01] <I_N_E_E_D_H_E_L_> nickrud: now it says xserver is not installed
[12:01] <marx2k_> rocunreal: just look in the "device" section of my xorg.conf
[12:01] <Kilroo> I sincerely wish I could get OpenGL 2.1 working.
[12:01] <marx2k_> thats how yours should look like
[12:02] <aj_> black_cat: ty mate :)
[12:02] <Emperor> Black_Cat: I clicked on the download link and it brought me to another page that had no download link for .deb so I had to download .tar.gz
[12:02] <rocunreal> marx2k_, ok but this is really complocated for a windows user like me
